New rules that stop UK prisoners receiving parcels have led to a political row over prisoners' access to books being restricted.
Justice secretary Chris Grayling sees books as a privilege that must be earned through prisoner cooperation rather than as a basic right for everyone. While prisoners will still have access to prison libraries, the new rule clearly greatly reduces prisoners' access to the wide range of reading opportunities.
Whether prisoners are reading for pleasure or education (or both), easy access to a wide range of books should be non-negotiable in a decent society, even for the most notorious or uncooperative prisoners. People are more than just flesh and blood; we need to feed our minds as well as our bodies.
So why not make use of ebook technology to give cheap, easy access to a large library for all prisoners? It's not 1975. I have a portable device that can store thousands of books and hold a charge for a month. I'm sure Grayling has seen these things too, even if he's never found a use for one.
How could ebooks work in prison? We would have to cover several bases:
• User acceptance: the system would have to be sufficiently simple and worthwhile for the prisoners to use.
• Security: the prison service would want to ensure that the system created manageable new security risks. For example, the ebook readers should be hard to convert into weapons or otherwise be repurposed for illicit or disruptive activities such as gambling or drug dealing.
• Cost: While it costs more to send someone to Belmarsh than to Eton, the prison service would want the costs of such a system to be acceptable and sustainable over time.
You'd probably need custom hardware. An off-the-shelf Kindle or Android tablet would not cut it as it would be likely too fragile for prison use. These things will be dropped, thrown and trodden on, and the prison service wouldn't want to lose a £100 device every time that happened.
Also you would need a device without any built-in radios for security reasons. No Wi-Fi Bluetooth or 3G. Prisoners shouldn't be able to use their ebook readers to communicate with each other or anyone outside.
You don't want prisoners stealing the readers by smuggling them out to visitors or taking them with them when they leave. So the device would need to reduce the incentive for that by making them nearly useless anywhere else.
An e-ink device with a fat battery could provide several weeks' worth of reading but the devices would still need to be charged from time to time. One possibility is to use a solar cell to extend the battery life or even remove the need for a separate charger entirely. While prisoners have power sockets in their cells to run their TVs and PlayStations, it might be simpler if the devices are charged en masse at a central point rather than in the cells.
There's no shortage of content out there that could be used. Project Gutenberg has over 42,000 out-of-copyright books that are free for anyone to use. That would be a good start.
The whole service could be supplied by a contractor to the library service and priced on a per device per year basis that included the content costs. The contractor could carry out maintenance on the devices on a swap-out basis. Additionally, prisoners themselves could carry out basic maintenance tasks such as replacing batteries and screens where appropriate workshop facilities existed.
Getting prisoners excellent access to a huge range of reading material would require some thought and moderate expense, but is clearly feasible in 2014.

It's a bittersweet day today, folks. This is going to be my very last book recommendation post.
I know, I know. I'm going to miss them, too. C2C's book recommendation posts have been the most popular posts on the blog. (It turns out that you all love books as much as I do.) They've also been some of my personal favorite posts, too. So, if I love them and my readers love them, why is this my last book recommendation post? Well, there's several reasons for this actually:
Why Is This Your Last Book Recommendation Post?
1. I've Run Out of Great Books To Recommend
For me, great books are great books–and if they're not, they don't deserve to make it on a book recommendation list. Period. I take recommending books seriously because I take reading very seriously. My biggest pet peeve is reading a book that was highly recommended to me but that turns out to be mediocre at best.
As you can imagine, however, this "super-duper high standard" for book recommending means you run out of books to recommend faster than if you were to have lower standards. In the end, I've found that great books are a dime a dozen, and that's probably why I've reached a critical juncture in which, from now on, I could only share with you books that I only half-heartedly recommend.
So, instead of half-heartedly recommending books I wouldn't have otherwise recommended, I think I'll just end the book recommendation posts right here, right now.
2. I Hate To Rush Reading
I guess I could power-through the list of 100 books my readers recommend–and then rush to review them all on my blog–but I'm afraid it'll ruin one of my favorite leisure activities by doing so. I just don't believe in rushing through great books. I think it's nicer to pace oneself, spreading out the reading of great books throughout one's life, so that the right book can drop in at the right time. Don't you agree?
3. Courage 2 Create Is About To Go In A New Direction
Ending my book recommendation series is my first step in an attempt to ease the blog into Chapter 3, the third year of the blog (my third year begins February 2012). In Chapter 3 , the focus of the blog will be sharpened. We'll be dealing less with the technical aspects of writing, and more with the "life" aspects of writing. (This shift has already been happening, if you haven't noticed.) We'll be dealing less with all the myriad aspects of the writing process (like mastering one's craft, revising, publishing, marketing, etc.,) and more with the journey that this blog is really all about: the courage to create the kind of work and the kind of life we want.
But narrowing the focus of the blog must begin with me slowly, and deliberately, trimming everything that is not precisely Courage 2 Create–in order to land on what is precisely Courage 2 Create. After almost two years blogging (and with your help) I'm getting closer and closer to what the precise manifestation of Courage 2 Create is going to be. I'm excited to take you deeper into that journey come February 2012.
In the meantime, let's give my book recommendation series the proper send-off, shall we?
The Proper Send-Off
Now, there were several options to end this. I thought of reviewing screenplays, musicals, comic books, performance art pieces, and even journalistic reports. I even thought of going more "micro" by reviewing the best first lines of books, the best quotes, and even the best words in the English language. But although each of these topics would be fascinating to cover, I thought they were a little bit of a stretch.
In the end, I decided on sharing my favorite books series of all time. I thought since my book recommendation posts started with fiction books, it would be appropriate that they should end with fiction books. A book series, of course, is a series of books where the story takes place in the same universe, and most, if not all, of the main characters remain the same throughout the series. (There are certain exceptions to that last rule, like Chronicles of Narnia, but, for the most part, all book series follow this rule.)
3 Book Series You MUST Read Before You Die
Even if today's recommendations aren't very new or surprising to you, I knew that if I was going to end my book recommendation posts today, I couldn't leave it without first recommending some of my favorite books of all time. (In the past, I neglected to review these books for the very reason that they seemed so obvious. But I don't care anymore.) Although it's hard to say something "new" about the Harry Potter series, for instance, I'll try my best to do so here.
The Chronicles of Narnia by C. S. Lewis
How did Lewis know that every child wants something as painfully ordinary as a wardrobe to suddenly turn into a magic portal to a far away land? How did he know that we all wanted to escape to a place where beavers could be our best friends, witches could offer us our favorite candy treats, and fauns could go shopping for Christmas presents? How did he know that we wanted to spend hundreds of years in this magical land, become kings and queens of this land, and then return back home as a child–without wasting a single second of our real-world lives? With this legendary book series, Lewis tapped into every child's (and every adult's) wildest dreams, and taught writers everywhere that it was the act of bringing to life the silliest of childhood fantasies that made for the best book series.
Harry Potter by J. K. Rowling
What else can I say about the most popular book series of our time? Maybe that, surprisingly, Rowling's books have a lot of fascinating things to say about the true nature of good an evil.
In the first book, Rowling taught us that Evil could coerce Good to act in its place–Evil could literally "leech off" a good person's body in order to accomplish its sinister ends. In the second book, Rowling taught us that being truly good (or evil) lies not in our birthright, but in our choices. In the third book, we learned that evil could lurk in our own families without us knowing it, or could deliberately betray us while feigning true friendship (and that the revelation of this deception could strike us when we least expect it.) In the fourth book, we learned that evil could cloak itself in the trappings of everything that was once seen as pure and righteous. Hidden underneath the guise of a do-gooder, evil could be allowed to get away with terrible acts of bloodshed.
And as Harry matures, Rowling leaves the most challenging lessons about the nature of good and evil for the very end. In the sixth book, Harry learns that evil could take advantage of his own good intentions, and then turn these good intentions against him, in order to put the people he loves in grave danger. (What a harsh lesson for Rowling to teach children–but a true and important lesson nonetheless.) And finally, in the seventh book, Harry learns the most surprising lesson of all: that good can sometimes take the guise of evil in order to help bring evil down. Ironically, it is this invisible (almost unrecognizable) type of good that Rowling portrays as the most virtuous manifestation of good. For Rowling, the worst kind of evil is the kind that puts on a convincing "show" of good; and the best kind of good is the one that is virtuous for virtue's sake, and does not seek award or recognition for it.
Before Rowling arrived on the scene, the portrayal of good and evil in children's fiction was never really that complicated or illuminating. But after Rowling arrived, the portrayal of good and evil in children's fiction has never been more complicated and more illuminating.
The Lord of The Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien
About two-thirds of the way through The Return of The King I stopped reading Tolkien's epic. Not because I didn't like it, or I had lost interest in it, but because I loved it so much. I was so engrossed with the characters and the story, that I didn't want the story to end. It gives me great pleasure to believe that Frodo, Sam, and Smeagol are out there somewhere, frozen in place, waiting for me to return to them, so that I could finally find out what happens to them. It's like when you have an exquisite meal, and you want to wait as long as you can before you have that very last bite. So, I might just wait until I'm eighty before I have that "last piece" of Tolkien's classic. In the meantime, I'll let Middle Earth rest on my plate a little longer. Because it's a story that's way too precious to finish too soon.
In his legendary book series, Tolkien taught us that the best stories are the ones you want to savor (to their very last bite) because the world they conjure up is way too believable, and way too captivating, not to be true.
Thank you to all of those who have shared their love of books with me on the C2C for almost two years! Even though these types of posts are ending, you'll be happy to know that my book recommendation posts will always remain accessible through my archives.
Okay, one last time: it's your turn! What book series do you think people MUST read before they die? Please share your recommendations with us in the comments below. Oh, and don't forget to explain why you love the book series you're recommending!

Gameplay is pretty straightforward: the player needs to carry a little wooden blocks in the back of a truck without dropping them along the way. The game is set in a kindergarten with wooden ramps and obstacles that will make way more difficult (and way more challenging too) to deliver the wooden block to the goal.
The scoring system is similar to other games puzzle games (3-stars). The more wooden blocks you deliver when you reach the goal (that's it, the fewer you leave along the way), the higher score you'll get. Try to get 3 stars in all the 26 levels (each level is a letter of the alphabet, from A to Z). Although the game is set in this childish environment, we can state that both youth and elder can fully enjoy this game.
3D graphics are simple and cool, and quite enough for this kind of games. We haven't noticed issues regarding screentouch response: it runs smoothly. Moreover, physics of the game are pretty realistic. In this regard we've to congratulate Yota Apps, its developer.
We're just missing more different game modes, more levels (and even different environments/worlds) as well as online leaderboards for submiting our best marks. Besides that, we got here a great puzzle game.

Complicated Rhinoplasty - London, GB
I had a rhinoplasty 30 yrs ago that was ok except...
Revision Rhinoplasty
Revision Rhinoplasty is a complicated surgical procedure that requires the help of a skilful & competent surgeon . It also requires the use of special techniques like cartilage grafting . I strongly recommend Dr Basim Matti who did my 4th rhinoplasty . The result was excellent .most companies who offer cheap packages don't offer complex techniques like cartilgae grafting because they don't use skilful surgeons.I had my nose done wrongly twice by a surgeon at The Harley Medical group which resulted in extensive scarring & deformity . I was turned down by 4 plastic surgeons because of the complexity of my condition after these faulty procedures . Dr Matti agreed to help me highlighting the difficulties & limitations . He was honest & professional . He listened to what I wanted & showed me what he could do . He restored my self confidence after 2 years of suffering . I almost lost hope till I saw him . He is my hero.
Dr Basim Matti is a very skilful , competent and safe surgeon . He is the best one for complex rhinoplasty in the uk

European equity rally halted by Greece and weak corporate figures
* FTSEurofirst 300 slips back after eight-day rise
* Greek stock market underperforms for second day
* Ericsson and Philips fall after weak updates
* Swiss stock market rises on SNB intervention talk
By Sudip Kar-Gupta
LONDON, Jan 27 (Reuters) - Renewed concern over Greece and weak results at companies such as Siemens and Philips halted a winning run on European stock markets on Tuesday.
The pan-European FTSEurofirst 300 index, which had risen for the last eight sessions, slipped back by 0.3 percent to 1,484.07 points going into the middle of the trading session.
The euro zone's blue-chip Euro STOXX 50 index also declined 0.7 percent, retreating after a similar eight-day winning streak. Those gains were ignited by the European Central Bank's plans to buy back government bonds to spur growth in the struggling euro zone economy.
Greek shares underperformed for the second day in a row. The benchmark Athens ATG equity index fell 2.6 percent and Greece's borrowing costs rose. Continuación...

GUEST BLOG: Ina Chadwick's Favorite Short Story
Posted on 30. Jun, 2011 by Tessa in Blog, Guest Blog
Down the Tubes in a Bleak Landscape
Do we like certain stories at certain periods in our lives? Do they hold up years later as favorites? I pondered this question while what I thought was my favorite story "Why Don't You Dance?" by Raymond Carver lay open on my coffee table, 25 years after I first read it
I remembered my outrage when a prominent poetry editor of that era, the late 70s and early 80s, scribbled on one of my several poems he was rejecting, "There is something in your work that says 'everything hopeful goes down the tubes.'" He asked if I had any more work to look at, preferably cheerier?
So I read Carver's story again and was dumbstruck by how cynical I was then and must still be now, to be so moved by his bleak landscape of hopelessness, of everything going down the tubes.
"Why Don't You Dance" is written in an unvarying linguistic tone. No high notes or cadences. It is like monks' chanting in an empty stone cathedral, its sparse dialogue creating a loud and lasting echo.
The distance that Carver creates between his three nameless characters in close proximity with one another is stunningly executed by his use of anonymity. He calls them "the Man", "the Boy", "the Girl". There is desolation awaiting us. You can feel it pulling you in.
The story begins with "the Man" who has dragged his worldly possessions into his driveway as an act of ridding himself of his wife, who'd already left him. It is a ritual purging that made him feel better.
A young couple sees the furniture and, thinking it's a yard sale, begin to talk about whether or not they should make the man an offer on the bed. The girl bounces on the mattress and tells the boy he should try it. He does. There's a lamp. A sofa. A TV. A record player and box of old records. There's even barware to complete this surreal tableau from a once-furnished home. Now, the man has at last given up on his illusory domesticity. She is gone and there is no domesticity without her.
The Girl is far more energetic and aggressive and vital than the Boy she is about to set up home with, and he follows whatever she suggests. He is awkward and passive. She advises him to offer the owner ten dollars less than he asks for, no matter what. Soon, they have every item for almost nothing, including the record player that, like all the other electronics, are plugged into long extensions cords that snake into the house; the only source of power left for the inanimate objects.
Is it an act of prophecy that the Boy and the Girl's future of togetherness is blighted because they are taking the unwanted stuff from a house where giving up on romance has already happened? Do the objects have a life that they can pass on?
They all start drinking in the yard as if they're friends at cocktail hour.
"Why don't you dance?" The Man says as his one of his favorite oldies scratches out its tune on the record player sitting on a cabinet in the driveway. After some hesitancy, the couple do get up and dance. They are tipsy. The young man feels awkward. He blushes and sits down while the Man gets up and stumbles around to dance with the Girl too. She is nice to him.
The Man gives them the records for free. Later, the Girl can't make her disquiet about the pathetic old guy go away.
"Junk, he gave us all his junk," she tells a friend, and then another, about that afternoon. No matter how many times she tells the story she is still spooked about that afternoon. She cannot stop talking about it. Is it prophetic and she's too young to know, or is it simply someone getting rid of ordinary things that once meant something?
It's a really short story with a very long reach.
I stopped writing poetry about ten years after I read "Why Don't You Dance?" because I finally did see that in all of my poetry there was a deeply cynical message I had no idea I was feeling. Now, I leave it to masters of the short story to give us their landscape of internal disquiet and failing optimism.
I have found a different, more empathetic and sometimes humorous voice in my short prose, I think. Certainly I have to find that old rejection note and see if I can locate the editor. I'll send him something new. Something more cheery.

The Prescription Drug Monitoring Program Training and Technical Assistance Center (PDMP TTAC) at Brandeis University provides a comprehensive array of services, support, resources, and strategies to PDMPs, federal partners and other stakeholders to further the efforts and effectiveness of PDMPs in combating the misuse, abuse and diversion of prescription drugs.
Since all states (except for one), the District of Columbia, and Guam have enacted PDMP legislation - and all have active programs - our focus is to improve consistency and alignment among PDMP's, facilitate coordination between PDMPs and state and national stakeholders, increase PDMP efficiencies, measure performance and effectiveness, and promote best practices.
To better support our stakeholders, streamline our operations and efficiently deliver our services, TTAC and the PDMP Center of Excellence (COE) have merged into a single program. The services and support provided by these two programs will now be available through TTAC.
The TTAC website is being reorganized and redesigned to include resources and other content from the COE website. We apologize for any inconvenience during this transition period. If you need assistance in locating items on the TTAC site, please let us know.
In addition to the COE content, the TTAC website now has information and reports concerning the Prescription Behavior Surveillance System (PBSS). PBSS is an early warning surveillance and evaluation tool to measure trends in controlled substance prescribing and dispensing as well as indicators of medical use and possible non-medical prescription drug abuse and diversion.

NDP pushes for bigger place in election sun
By Randall Palmer
OTTAWA (Reuters) - The left-leaning New Democratic Party has never been a serious contender for power in federal politics but with its numbers jumping in some polls it's gunning for a breakthrough in the current election campaign.
"Regardless of what other parties are telling you, you have a choice," NDP leader Jack Layton declared at a news conference in Quebec City on Monday, two weeks ahead of the May 2 federal election.
The party, which wants to boost social spending and corporate taxes, has always been hampered by the fact that Canada does not have proportional representation.
That means that coming in second or third in any electoral district does not bring the NDP closer to power, so a vote for it is often viewed as wasted. In the 2008 election, it won 18.2 percent of the vote but only 12 percent of the seats.
That's because he is fighting sometimes as many as three other parties in the fragmented field to the left of Prime Minister Stephen Harper's Conservatives.
The Liberals, the only party besides the Conservatives to have governed Canada, have regularly tried to woo NDP voters, especially at the last minute, by saying that voting Liberal is the only way to block a Conservative majority in the House of Commons.
But some recent polls put the NDP ahead of the Conservatives and the Liberals in the large province of Quebec, and an online Angus-Reid survey released on Monday even had the party tied with the Liberals nationally at 25 percent.
"People realize that Ottawa is broken, that it's not working for them," Layton said. "They're seeing the same old parties, and they're fed up, a lot of them." Continued...

I thought I would show you my ideal Outfit of the Day and Jewelry of the Day for fall. I love a soft, neutral sweater with a fun, floppy hat to keep the sun out of my face. Throw on a jean jacket for good measure (denim is making a come back!). For accessories, I can't live without my "be brave" earrings and a Gold Signature Bar bracelet to match! If you aren't into gold, go for some Original Leather bracelets in pretty fall colors.
Fall is all about what makes you feel good and inspiring yourself for a crisp, new start!
Be brave,

Palavras-chave: Kekaha, Ocean Front, Beach Cottage
This home was really perfect as well as the location very close to Waimea valley and Polihale. Furthermore, the Kekaha beach, with a lifeguard is within walking distance. 10 minutes drive and you can swim at the calmer Salt Pond Beach.
The house is very welcoming with an airy atmospere and with the AC some hours before bedtime was enough to create a comfortable temperature for sleep with just the fans working slowly..
Every morning at dawn we walked and enjoyd the beautiful beach. Every evening we went down to the beach again to watch the stars and galaxies of the the Milky way. During the nights the sound of the surf beating the beach lulled us into calm sleep.
Breakfasts and dinners prepared in the functinal and well equipped kitchen were enjoyed on the lanai with a great view of the ocean. The sunset from the lanai is worth some rush to be in time for.
The house is very clean and no bugs within sight! Not even mosquitos on the lanai in the evenings.
Scott is quick to answer questions and saved no efforts to make our stay a very pleasant one!
Ask for the late check-out IF you have a late flight. The relaxed last day was worth it.
This is a great Kauai west side ocean and mountain view rental. We recently stayed there for 2 weeks and it is definitely the nicest place we have stayed in Kauai. All amenities were as stated on the VRBO site. The ocean view from the lanai is unforgettable. You can watch whales breeching and spouting all day long (in season) as well as beautiful sunsets from the lanai. Scott is quick to answer questions and ready to help in all ways. Would love to stay here again on our next visit to Kauai.
You can hear several different types of birds in the morning along with tropical trees and plants on property. This is first class island living. You cannot go wrong staying at this location.Thanks so much.
My family of five, two adults and three teenagers immediately felt at home when we walked through the front door! Absolutely amazing! Very clean and comfortable. As a mom, the kitchen, washer/dryer/dishwasher and grill made our trip a whole lot easier. One of the fire alarm batteries needed changing while we were there and the property manager and maintenance man were quick and came the same day to change it- our travel plans were never disrupted! Our favorite part of the house was the front lanai- we were able to watch the whales and dolphins playing everyday! Having the beach across the street was perfect. The sunsets were amazing and at night, the entire Milky Way is visible! All the equipment we needed to have fun on the beach were supplied and in great working order- snorkeling gear, beach mats/chairs, boogie-boards, goggles, umbrellas, and beach towels. We liked the slower pace and quietness of the nearby towns of Kekaha, Waimea, Hanapepe and Kalaheo. We spent three weeks here and we traveled all over the island. Recommend spending time hiking in Waimea Canyon and the trails on the Na Pali Coast, snorkeling at Salt Pond and Poipu, shopping in Koloa and Kapaa, and a visit to the Kilauea Lighthouse! The luau and river boat cruise at Smith's was fun. So much culture and history to appreciate on this lovely island. We will be back and will definitely rent this house again!
Our family of four, including two teens, had a great time here. The house was very clean and comfortable. The availability of a washing machine/dryer and dishwasher were much appreciated and while it did get hot, the fans were a help. Perhaps the AC units are needed in the Summer but in October they went unused. Kitchen was fairly well stocked.
The star is the lanai, though some of us seemed to be targeted by mosquitoes. The other stars are the nearby beaches. Kekaha beach (about 1/4 mile away) was almost empty, a startling contrast from our visit to San Diego in September. There's also a bit of a beach just across the road, but in both locations beware the strong shore breaks. I learned my lesson on my first day and so did the kids. We also visited Polihale (just up the road) beach at sunset which was a highlight. The house comes with many sets of fins and snorkel masks, beach chairs and mats and boogie-boards. We put them all to good use.
The road got a new layer of tar while we were there, which probably means it won't happen again for a long time. Traffic was definitely noticeable (with all the windows open) but it wasn't a problem.
If you forgot what the Milky Way looks like, you can see it again here.
While Kekaha is out of the way, we viewed that as a good thing. We didn't shop in Kekaha but just 5 minutes down the road in Waimea we found all we needed. We were able to get to Waimea canyon in minutes. Our boat tours out of Eleele (and the art tour in Hanapepe) are only about 15 minutes away. Our farthest trips afield were to Kapaa for the Coconut Festival (35 minutes), a tour of the chocolate co-op in Kilauea (50 minutes), and snorkeling at Waiakalua Beach (also 50 min). The only traffic problem on the whole island was Kapaa, other than that no issues.
If your flight is not until 10PM like ours ask for the late check-out. The relaxed last day was worth it. We were all sad to leave and I suspect after the kids have flown the nest we'll be back.
HALE 'ILIMA was a great tropical retreat - this was my 20th trip to Kauai so I have seen the good the bad and the disappointing - this home was perfect! Clean, no bugs, ocean view, walking distance to a surfing beach, great sunsets, etc! The kitchen was very functional for some local cooking and the bedrooms were very comfortable. I love the local feel of Kekaha. We will be staying again! - Mahalo!
HALE 'ILIMA is the best...losts of windows, beautiful view, bright and airy.
Everything you would want in a beach house. All you need to buy is the food of your choice.
It is convient to stores and best beaches on Island.
It was wonderful for me. I was here to work for 6 weeks and it was great to come from work to a beautiful house rather than a hotel room. You will have a great stay.

Canadian naval officer pleads guilty to spying for Russia
(Reuters) - A Canadian naval intelligence officer pleaded guilty on Wednesday to handing over secrets to Russia in a four-year espionage operation that involved access to a computer network shared with the United States and other allies, according to media reports.
The Canadian government, noting that proceedings were still subject to a publication ban, gave no details of the evidence against Sub-Lieutenant Jeffrey Paul Delisle. It confirmed that he had pleaded guilty to espionage.
But some Canadian media outlets published extensive details from previous proceedings in a Nova Scotia provincial court. Delisle worked at an intelligence facility at the naval dockyard in Halifax, Nova Scotia, with access to secret data from NATO.
The Canadian Broadcasting Corp said Delisle walked into the Russian Embassy in Ottawa in 2007, asked to meet someone from the GRU, Russia's military intelligence organization, and offered to sell it secrets.
The Globe and Mail newspaper said Delisle had "offered to betray his country for cash."
The two media outlets said Delisle earned about C$3,000 a month from his Russian spy masters by gathering information on a computer system known as Stone Ghost. It links information from the United States, Britain, Australia, New Zealand and Canada.
Delisle would go to work armed with a thumb drive, download information from the system and deliver it to the Russians on a monthly basis, they said.
The CBC said Delisle wanted to end the relationship with the Russians in 2009, but chose not to after his handlers sent him a picture of his daughter walking to school. Shortly after, he was told to meet his GRU handler in Brazil where he was given $50,000 in debit cards and cash, it said.
The money reportedly raised suspicions among Canadian customs officers at the Halifax airport. They allowed him to re-enter Canada but tipped off the Canadian military about their concerns. Continued...

The Independent Raves About Queen+Paul Rodgers Hyde Park ConcertToday's 7/18/2005 online edition of the UK's The Independent raves and gives an absolutely stellar review to Queen+Paul Rodgers' Hyde Park Concert. Their review by David Lister, is just glowing and also makes mention of the concert being dedicated to London's Emergency Services Personnel. Calling the pairing of Brian May and Roger Taylor with Paul Rodgers ''inspired'', and '' a joy to be reminded that Radio Ga Ga is one of the best singalong stadium anthems ever'', it's quite a sterling review.Source:http://enjoyment.independent.co.uk/music/reviews/article299851.ece

ROH. Tosca
- Released2012
- Running time180 minutes
Powerful music and a heartrendingly tragic story combine in Puccini's ever-popular Tosca.
Jonathan Kent's detailed production draws on the historical backdrop of Rome in 1800, a political world of control and suspicion beautifully evoked in Paul Brown's lavish designs. The pageantry of church ritual, the darkness of a brooding study with its hidden torture chamber and the false optimism of the light of a Roman dawn all throw into relief the love of the beautiful diva Tosca, the idealism of her lover, the painter Cavaradossi, and the deadly, destructive obsession of the malevolent Chief of Police, Scarpia.
Drama, passion and the fabulous music of Puccini: Tosca is one of opera's great nights out.

Lynnderella's Shape Shifter (best. holo. glitter. ever.)
I took way too many pictures of this, but it has so many different looks that I found it hard to stop! The photos are a mix of indoors with an Ott lamp, outdoors at sunset, and indoors with no flash for the last two.
Normally with glitter concoctions such as this, the formula can be a little problematic. Shape Shifter however, applied like a dream using two coats, and I had fairly uniform placement with the larger glitter pieces. The finish is extremely smooth and the glitter lays very close to the nail.
The next time I have something boring to attend--such as jury duty or a business meeting--I'm wearing this for the entertainment value. The array of shapes and the ever-changing color pattern in Shape Shifter will keep me amused and amazed, I'm sure.

SCIENCE WATCH; Threat to Plankton
Published: October 10, 1989
SOLAR radiation penetrating the ozone hole over Antarctica may be damaging the base of the food chain that sustains virtually all wildlife in the region.
Dr. Sayed Z. El-Sayed of Texas A & M University and his colleagues report that certain wavelengths of ultraviolet radiation from the sun inhibit the growth of microscopic phytoplankton organisms found in Antarctic waters. Phytoplankton, which belong to the vegetable kingdom, use the process called photosynthesis to make their own food from carbon dioxide. Plankton are the main food of krill, which in turn are eaten by squid, fish and whales. Higher up the food chain, penguins, seals and winged birds depend on animals that subsist on plankton-eaters.
In experiments at Palmer Station in Antarctica, Dr. El-Sayed's group measured the effects of varying amounts of radiation on plankton reproduction and growth. The highest growth rates resulted when ultraviolet was completely filtered out of the sunlight reaching the microscopic plants. Increased ultraviolet exposure appeared to decrease photosynthesis by destroying the plant chlorophyll that catalyzes the reaction.
Plant and animal life are normally protected from the most hazardous forms of ultraviolet by a layer of ozone gas in the stratosphere, which blocks ultraviolet rays. But chlorofluorocarbon chemicals released into the atmosphere from spray cans, refrigerators and other sources have begun to destroy the ozone, scientists say. Huge seasonal gaps in the ozone layer have begun to appear over both poles, particularly over Antarctica. This year's ozone hole over the continent, which is growing rapidly, may prove to be the worst ever measured.

Community Tasting Notes 30

March 5, 2016 - Incredible aromatics, a lot of violet and florals. Big flavor, lots of black cherry, dark fruit, some tar, but long long finish. These 100 Acres are such great cabs. If any complaint there is a tiny bit of heat, as the alcohol is well over 15%.

October 16, 2015 - This was a total stunner right out of the gate. Decanted for one hour and then the bottle was gone very quick. Might be the smoothest wine I've ever had.

July 12, 2015 - Splash decanted
Dark wine red
Massive Dark cherry, chocolate, a tiny hint of cola, cherry cola on nose. Delicious cherry, tobacco and chocolate flavor a bit oakie, quite a bit of heat which seems to be a bit overwhelming. Having said that this is a delicious wine. Long 20 seconds finish. Acid is medium low. Weight heavy. Really nice mouth feel. Alcohol is a bit high. Very tasty stuff drinking very well right now.

I haven't seen or heard much about Bo Derek lately, so when I noticed this
movie I thought I'd tune in to see how she was doing. In "Life In The
Balance" she plays a superstar lawyer turned alcoholic and drug addict, who
gets one last chance to prove herself by being given a case in which she
tries to save a man on death row (Bruce Boxleitner, who also hasn't popped
up much recently as far as I know) after being convicted of murdering his
Derek and Boxleitner are OK together, and the movie - if not spectacular - is a reasonably engrossing apparently low-budget "whodunit" that is short (about an hour and a half) and to the point. I'm not quite sure why Katherine Garr (Derek) is (or at least was) such a hot shot lawyer. There are a lot of inconsistencies in the story from Eric (Boxleitner) that made me (a non-lawyer) suspicious of him from the start, and the twist at the end is certainly not an unpredictable one, but overall this isn't a bad movie. Neither Derek nor Boxleitner are going to win any awards for it, but it won't end their careers, either.
I wasn't impressed with the opening; however, making the convicted
murderer of his own family free again was an interesting challenge to
watch. The attorney, who also had a few personal problems, is played by
Bo Derek, I think she played reasonably well, and so did "the
It was a merely amusing film up to the point where new evidence comes to light, which changes the situation completely and turns this film into a thriller. I wasn't expecting this plot turn at all and was shivering till the end of the film. Watching this 2 hour film paid off - these last 30 minutes was a great watch (not that the beginning was utterly boring).
I'd watch the film again, looking for clues hinting at that turning plot in the film. 7 out of 10 rating.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
**Spoilers** The beautiful Bo Derek still a knockout at age 45 plays
the barley sober and pill popping defense attorney Kathryn Garr who's
life is a complete mess when we first get to see her in the movie. It's
when Kathryn gets the case of a lifetime that of convicted mass
murderer Eric Johnson, Bruce Boxietner, who's now facing the electric
chair that her life and down in the dumps judicial career makes a
sudden upturn. Not because of Kathryn's getting Johnson off, in a
successful appeal, but finding out just what he had to do or not to do
with his wife's and two children's brutal satanic-like blood ritual
murder! The fact that there was no blood at the murder scene made it
certain that this killing was unlike any other killings that the local
police as well as attorney Garr ever investigated!
It was in fact Kathryn's good friend pathologist and and blood splatter expert Randall Innis, Tim Post, who soon realized just who murdered Johnson's wife and children that in the end had him murdered, by the Johnson family murderer, himself! Meanwhile getting her head back together, by stopping her both drinking and popping pills, Kathryn started to put all the loose ends together in who's behind not only the Johnson family killings but the disappearance of Margaret Brinkly, Kathreen Hamel. Margaret was last seen with Eric Johnson at a book convention four years ago when she just dropped out of sight!
***SPOILER*** It's in fact Margaret's disappearance or possibly murder that somehow links her with the Johnson family murders! But how and why is for Kathryn to find out unless the their murderer finds her fist. And with him so close to Kathryn in every move that she makes that's not that very hard for him to do.
Even though the film hinted and kept on hinting to a dark and satanic connection to the Johnson family murders it seemed to have dropped it and just settled for the usual man going insane and striking out that world like killings that were so used to seeing in the movies. You would have thought with all the evidence pointing to something far more dark and sinister then just your average garden verity type mass murder for the film to change horses, or directions, in mid stream hurt more then helped its by then very confusing storyline.
Kathryn Garr has had a successful career, including making partner at
her law firm. But that won't help her now. She doesn't seem to know
what she is doing, she has a drinking problem, and her marriage to
Jason is in trouble.
But Kathryn has one chance to redeem herself. Eric Johnson is on Pennsylvania's death row for killing his family, and many believe he is innocent. Some believe evidence was withheld in his trial. Kathryn doesn't have a lot of enthusiasm, and she doesn't share the faith in Eric that others do. She seems more like a prosecutor than a defense lawyer, because she doesn't seem to remember "innocent until proved guilty".
Eric doesn't seem to have much of a chance, but Kathryn finally makes a real effort, and she does find more evidence, with the help of a colorful Southern detective. We go through some twists and turns to get to the end, but there's nothing that special here.
Bo Derek and Bruce Boxleitner both have their good moments here. Kathryn's boss won't do anything to shake the perception that lawyers are sleazy.
It was an okay movie, about the same quality as a TV-movie.
This is a great film. In regards to a "mature" Bo Derek-------she is
smashing. Of course she isn't that "youth" in 10, but she has matured
into a very classy woman with a more mature look about her. I still
like her acting, I love her voice and I love her overall presence. I
still think Bo is a very good actress. About this film, its a good
film. It is very "law and order", but its still very interesting. You
never know whats gonna happen next. I like it. The character she plays
starts off as a pill popping, boozin' type, but transforms as she
becomes more passionate about her cause. She plays an attorney trying
to free a man that is believed to be innocent of the crime of murder.
Bo may have grown up-------but she is still BO and still a class act in my opinion.
As a true Canadian, I always avoid Canadian movies. However now and then I
get trapped into watching one. This one is better than most, which is to
mediocre. It has many of the usual flaws of Canadian films...self-conscious
acting...an excess of cinematic gimmicks and, above all, the self-effacing
Canadian habit of using Canadian cities as stand-ins for American ones. I
mean using the historic metropolis of Montreal as a stand in for Harrisburg
Pennsylvania is just short of obscene.
I was in a generous mood. I gave it a 4.

Note: This update is the 10th article in this Opednews series about the Bayou Corne sinkhole near Napoleonville, LA. For maps, diagrams and additional information, please see the nine previous articles in this series, listed at the end of this article. BACKGROUND: In Spring of 2012, Louisiana's Corne and Grand Bayou residents noticed strange bubbling in the bayou for many weeks, and they reported smelling burnt diesel fuel and sulfur. Then suddenly a sinkhole the size of three football fields appeared on Aug. 3, swallowing scores of 100-foot tall cypress trees. The sinkhole resulted from the failure of Texas Brine Company's abandoned underground brine cavern. The Department of Natural Resources issued a Declaration of Emergency on Aug. 6, and 150 families were evacuated.

Napoleonville, LA:
At 11:55 am local time on Wed. March 13, the Assumption Parish Police Jury reported that more than 90 "micro earthquakes" had occurred in the Bayou Corne sinkhole area overnight, calling it a "'spasmodic burst' which occurred at 1:34 am" on March 13. The report continued, "In addition, there were several observable long periods (VLP) events recorded on seismic monitor LA12. Dr. Horton and Dr. Pettit are working to locate the events currently."
On March 8, the Assumption Parish Police Jury announced that "The Vertical Seismic Profile Data that has been provided to us by Texas Brine shows that Oxy Geismar Cavern #1 is closer to the outer wall of the Napoleonville Salt Dome than recently anticipated. Although Oxy Geismar Cavern #1 was previously thought to have no issues, this recent development does cause concern for Assumption Parish Officials. Oxy Geismar Cavern #1 is located 900' to the northeast of Oxy Geismar Cavern #3 (which is the failed cavern) and is estimated to be 950' from Highway 70 to the outer wall of the Napoleonville Salt Dome."

The photos above appreared in a previous article, and compare the sinkhole in still shots from flyovers in August and January. (Note: none of these photos shows the sinkhole at exactly the same angle. Therefore some estimation was involved in showing the relative sizes of the photos. The road and position of trees at lower left, the bases of the white cylindrical structures at the top of the photos, and the position of the pad area at right were used to line up these images with each other. Note that the pad area has undergone changes in size and shape during the last few months.)
These two most recent flyover videos were filmed on March 8 (13 and 33 seconds long):
The next community meeting had already been scheduled for Tuesday, March 19, 2013 at 6:00 pm, at the Assumption Parish Community Center in Napoleonville.
Environmental activist Erin Brockovich told a group of Bayou Corne residents on Saturday that standing up and taking legal action against the company that owns a failed salt dome cavern believed to have caused the Assumption Parish sinkhole is the only way they will find relief from the emergency. Brockovich works with Los Angeles lawyer Thomas V. Girardi who has been retained by at least 50 homeowners in the Bayou Corne community. Brockovich was played by actor Julia Roberts in the movie Erin Brockovich (2000.)

"To summarize where the company is today, we know where the problems are," Ullman said. "We know how to address them, and we have the right plans in place to do the job successfully and get back on a path to return to profitable growth." Shares reacted positively on Tuesday, following the earnings release and call, rising 6% to close at $14.01. However, the stock is down 14% over the past month and fell an additional 4.9% on Wednesday to close at $13.33. The two-day rollercoaster of the stock is just another example of J.C. Penney's struggles both in its stores and in the boardroom. The company recently went through a very public battle with its largest shareholder, Bill Ackman of Pershing Square Capital Management, who sought to shake things up at the board and executive levels to get the company's turnaround moving faster. Ultimately, Ackman lost that battle and resigned his board seat. Ackman recently signed an agreement with the company to start selling his 18% stake in the retailer in the coming months. Conversely, the company's announcement Thursday of the shareholder rights plan was "not adopted in response to any effort to acquire control of the company." The plan will expire on August 20, 2014, unless the rights are redeemed or exchanged for shares of common stock by the company on an earlier date, a release said. Also see: J.C.Penney, Ackman Enter Agreement To Sell Stake Ackman selling his very large stake will make owning shares a rocky road in the near to mid-term, but with heavy hitters like George Soros and now Kyle Bass' Hayman Capital owning stakes in the company, is a bet for a turnaround really so out of the question? "The biggest problem for J.C. Penney was changing the business model so quickly," says Tom Shinick, an associate visiting professor of marketing for Adelphi and CEO of Corporate Development Partners. "You do not do that." Ullman is "going back to the business of finding out what the customers want and they're coming back into the store," Shinick says. "In the short term it's going to cost him some money, but in doing that -- and you don't see it in
the second quarter -- but I really believe you are going to be seeing it in the next quarter and following quarter. People will be coming back." Experts say that J.C. Penney needs to focus on its core customer, but also find ways to attract newer, younger customers. "They have to really work on a positioning that resonates with that consumer and it's probably somewhere between where Ron Johnson wanted to go and where they were before," Appel says. "To be more relevant. To be more updated in their assortment so that consumers find a store an interesting place to shop and having a pricing matrix that the customer" appreciates.

text: Yes, the Idaho Department of Fish and Game would be very interested in looking at these dead birds. Hawks and Owls of all types are classified as "raptors" or birds of prey. All raptors are protected by federal and state laws. In addition possession of the birds or any parts or feathers from the birds is prohibited by state and federal laws. We would be interested in collecting and examining the birds to determine cause of death. The birds may have been poisoned, hit a power line, hit by a vehicle or shot by an individual who may not have known they were protected. The fact that you have three "raptors" of different species dead in your yard indicates there may be a problem we need to investigate and remedy so future birds are not killed. If you would like to direct your call to me (Blake Phillips) I can be reached at 208-251-5511. Or you can call your local Regional Office in Pocatello at 208-232-4703. Thank You for taking the time to bring this to our attention.

Obviously, you bought your 300SL because you wanted to buy best-in-class service and dependability both rolled up into one car, truck, or SUV. The vehicle in your driveway symbolizes the best in class when it comes to all the vehicles currently being driven today. When your Mercedes-Benz 300SL was born, it was destined for a person with discerning taste who prioritizes European styling in their automobile. Mercedes-Benz automobile enthusiasts have become used to a certain level of a reputation for strength when driving their 300SL around town.
Some engine parts are tucked away out of sight, so they aren't considered when there's a performance problem. The job of creating a spark in the combustion chambers that ignites the air/fuel mixture in the engine is your Mercedes-Benz 300SL spark plug. Several different metals (copper, platinum, iridium) can be used for the spark plug's electrode on all current models. When one of the spark plugs does not fire when it should, the engine in your Mercedes-Benz 300SL will not turn as hard; leading to an increase in unburnt hydrocarbon emissions and a decrease in horsepower and fuel economy.
When your Mercedes-Benz needs a new replacement Spark Plug, there's no need to trust any store other than the authority, Car Parts Discount. At Car Parts Discount, we have real customer support agents here with enough expertise to help you purchase the correct Mercedes-Benz 300SL part for your needs. Make all your future car parts purchases at carpartsdiscount.com and save time and money on all your upcoming repairs. All the Mercedes-Benz 300SL Spark Plug parts on this page will fit vehicles made in 1993, 1992, 1991, 1990, 1963, 1962, 1961, 1960, 1959, 1958, 1957, 1956, 1955, 1954.

Traders Told: Millennium Law Won't Save Them
Traders Magazine, September 1999
Liability Lawsuits for Firms That Don't Make Y2K Program ChangesSecurities traders and broker dealers, who think their Millennium computer-bug headaches disappeared once President Clinton threw his weight behind civil liability limits on Y2K lawsuits, have got another thing coming, industry observers say.
The President's action, signing H.R. 775 "The Y2K Act" (P.L., 106-37) which was passed by Congress this summer, limits punitive damages awards to the lesser of $250,000, or three-times compensatory damages for most Y2K-related lawsuits.

Mitsubishi, who completely missed the boat when they could have taken the market by storm with the i-MiEV, is struggling to keep up with the electric car market. The company has now announced that they're initiating a "price war" against "high cost electric vehicles" and will be cutting down their i-MiEV's price in order to make EVs more accessible.
That's the hype. Now for the reality.
The i-MiEV is smaller, less mainstream, and less marketable than the Nissan Leaf. It was (formerly) priced at about $3,000 more than the MSRP for the base Leaf as well ($49,000 vs. $46,000) in Japan. So now, in order to compete, Mitsubishi is lowering the price of the i-MiEV to $37,000 (again, in Japan), which will be cheaper than the Leaf in that country.
But wait.. to make that price cut, they're cutting batteries out of the little bug-like car too. DOH! So the new model at the cheaper price has 25 miles less range. Oops.
Here's something hilarious. Here in the U.S., the Leaf sells for $33,000 and the i-MiEV (if you can find one) sells for $27,990. Yet the Leaf is far outperformering the i-MiEV in sales. Huh?
Well, I guess size does matter. The Leaf seats one more person (5) and has more cargo space (nearly half again). Plus, the Leaf looks like a normal car where as the i-MiEV looks like a cheesy VW Beetle ripoff with stupid(er) headlights.
