Good morning.
Robin, thank you for your exceptional leadership during the past year. For a long time to come, the legal profession, the justice system and the people of our state will benefit from your service and the Bar's achievements during your year.
Starting this evening when I take the oath of office, I will have the honor of succeeding Robin in what will be a year of observance and celebration of the first half-century of the State Bar of Georgia.
This year, 2013-2014, will mark not only the 50th anniversary of the State Bar of Georgia but also the 130th anniversary of the establishment of its predecessor, the Georgia Bar Association, and the 225th anniversary of the ratification of the United States Constitution.
Fellow Bar members, permit me to take a few minutes this morning to reflect on that last milestone, what the Constitution means to this nation and in particular to our profession, whether we have allowed or are allowing an erosion of the Constitution and the rule of law in our society and, if so, what we can do to restore its preeminent position in the affairs of our nation.
I believe the Constitution is only as good as the people for whom it was enacted and who are covered by its provisions. The character of the population for whom the Constitution provides guiding principles is paramount to its longevity.
At the close of the Constitutional Convention in 1787, Benjamin Franklin was asked, "Well, Doctor, what have we got—a republic or a monarchy?" Franklin replied succinctly, "A republic, if you can keep it."
More than two centuries later, Franklin's words still ring true.
Whether we can continue to keep our republic depends, I believe, on the strength of our constitutions—yes, plural "constitutions"— applying three of the several definitions the dictionary gives us for the word:
Fellow Bar members, I am concerned about our constitutions—not only the written instrument that embodies our foundational principles—but more to the point, whether we have the individual and collective constitutions that are morally, mentally, physically and spiritually strong enough to meet today's challenges.
As a nation, we seem to have lost our competitive edge. Consider the following:
First, we have lost a lot of jobs in this country, particularly in manufacturing—7 million over the last decade. During the surge in Iraq in 2007, for example, when we were looking for a company to produce reinforced steel for military vehicles, only one company had the capacity to manufacture that kind of steel. That is not a good prospect for our nation's defense.
Second, there are not as many jobs for the middle class as there once were. Without a vibrant middle class, we won't have the law practice we want to have. If you don't believe me, talk to your friends who practice in small towns. There is just not as much economic activity going on in small towns as there once was.
Third, I believe the greatest security threat to our Constitution is our budget deficit. We simply must get our fiscal house in order to revitalize our economy and create manufacturing and other jobs in this country.
A lot of lawyers are suffering today. For that, there are a number of factors. We can point to lawyer advertising . . . to witness-only closings . . . to "Legal Zoom .com" and its ilk.
But I contend the overriding factors are all related to the continued sickness of our national economy and our failure to defend jobs for this country. Too many jobs, American jobs, are moving elsewhere, while too few are being created here.
I don't mean we should not participate in the world economy. But the fact of the matter is we have to tailor our federal and state tax and regulatory policies to attract and keep these jobs. We've got to have the manufacturing and economic strength to make sure we can preserve, protect and defend the Constitutions of this country.
Another critical factor in maintaining our individual and societal constitution is what we teach our children. We need to teach our children about the history and founding of this country, why the rule of law, under the Constitution, is critical to our future, and the values that sustain this nation.
I was privileged to grow up in the small town of Vidalia, Georgia, where I learned from my family and community a number of basic values:
These values were part of the air I breathed every day. Examples abounded!
And during the time that I was growing up, I heard a young new President, John F. Kennedy, issue this challenge to all Americans: "Ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country."
These values seem to have less influence today than they once did.
Today, it often seems the prevailing philosophy is "get what you can from your country any time you can."
We are losing nuclear families right and left, often the result of divorce or births out of wedlock. As a by-product, we are suffering a decline in discipline and societal consciousness of right from wrong, which in turn leads to more poverty, more crime and a loss of the competitive edge that America once held over the rest of the world.
Presidents John Adams and James Madison over several occasions declared our Constitution was made only for a moral, informed and productive people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.
The virtues I mentioned earlier—family, community, faith—erosions of these are all connected with the challenges we face today. It is our duty to teach the next generation there is something higher, something greater than me, us, them or immediate gratification.
At another crossroads in our nation's history in 1862, President Abraham Lincoln told Congress, "We shall nobly save, or meanly lose, the last best hope of earth."
Fellow Bar members, as we embark on a year of observing the 50th anniversary of the State Bar of Georgia, our job is to examine anything that threatens the Constitution and its longevity.
In these difficult times, if lawyers don't stand up for the furtherance of the Rule of Law and the restoration of the values that made this nation great, who will?
As I mentioned earlier, our national economic challenges have a dramatic effect on us in the practice of law. That is why it will be critical for us to continue initiatives to help one another, like the SOLACE program started by Ken Shigley two years ago and the "How to Save a Life" suicide prevention initiative recently launched under Robin Clark's leadership.
It is also why we will continue to reach out to the general public through our Cornerstones of Freedom education program and rejuvenate the Citizens' Group established by Lester Tate several years ago. And it is essential that we build on our recent successes in the legislative process at the State Capitol and continue to work with our elected officials to enact laws that modernize and strengthen our justice system, measures that are in themselves economically beneficial.
Finally, through a newly formed Law & Economics Section, we as lawyers should weigh in on the causes of our moribund economy.
As we mark the 50th year of this organization, we will simultaneously celebrate the 225th anniversary of the U.S. Constitution. Next March, the State Bar will host a two-day national symposium on the Constitution—featuring a discussion with U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia and tentatively and hopefully Justice Stephen Breyer, two of the great legal minds of this generation who bring to the table distinctly different views of the Constitution and its application today.
David McCullough, the renowned historian, will join that symposium and speak about the Founding Fathers and the Founding Time.
We will also publish a history book on the legal profession in Georgia, a comprehensive account covering the nearly 300 years of progress from General Oglethorpe's arrival at Savannah (when lawyers were banned) through the establishment of the Georgia Bar Association, followed by the arduous 40-year effort to unify the Bar up to and including the 21st Century-model State Bar of Georgia. This book will chronicle the many contributions of the Georgia lawyers who have worked from the founding to today to fulfill the constitutional promise of justice for all.
In that regard, we certainly have big shoes to fill.
This will be a year of thinking about what has brought us to this critical time and whether we, as a profession and a nation, are able to right the ship.
Consider that in 1789, the year that the U.S. Constitution was ratified, your pet squirrel could climb a tree no more than 225 miles from the Atlantic coast, and go all the way to the Great Plains from limb to limb, tree to tree, without touching the ground.
Thomas Jefferson thought it would take a hundred generations to populate this land from the east to west coasts. Because of the pioneer spirit that existed in those days, it actually took no more than five.
Without any kind of mechanical devices to assist them, the pioneers cleared forests, plowed the fields, planted the crops and built the roads. As soft as we have become today, would we have what it takes to withstand the conditions that our forefathers did? Do we?
I believe we do, because no matter what challenges have confronted our nation in the past—the Revolution, Civil War, two World Wars, the Great Depression, presidential assassinations, the long Civil Rights struggle, political upheaval and 9/11—we have always been sustained by something called the American spirit and survived.
If these values can be recaptured, we will be able to deal more forthrightly with the problems we face today. As lawyers, we know that our Constitution can protect us only if we do our part to protect it.
The songwriter Gene Scheer captured this spirit in his "American Anthem," written in 1998, sung at two presidential inaugurations and famously performed by Norah Jones in the soundtrack for Ken Burns' World War II documentary "The War."
Scheer said his patriotic lyrics were inspired by two things:
"American Anthem," is a reminder of all that we have been given by providence and our forefathers and of the responsibilities that we have to the country.
To quote from the lyrics:
". . . Each generation from the plains
To distant shore with the gifts
That they were given
Were determined
To leave more
Valiant battles fought together
Acts of conscience fought alone
These are the seeds
From which America has grown
Let them say of me
I was one who believed
In sharing the blessings
I received
Let me know in my heart
When my days are through
I gave my best to you. . ."
Thank you, and may God bless the state of Georgia and the United States of America.

The benefits of the
Project include
the following:
The Project will make use of currently unused natural gas pipeline transmission capacity on the existing PNG system, providing significant benefits to existing consumers who should see their rates drop as operating costs are spread across a larger base of volumes.
DCEP is a small-scale project that uses proven technology to produce one LNG cargo per month. The overall philosophy and engineering design of the facility has been to utilize proven, safe and reliable technology within a compact plat footprint, thereby minimizing environmental impacts.
Through arrangements with the BC LNG Export Co-Operative, the Project will provide natural gas producers in Western Canada with new market opportunities while meeting consumer demand for natural gas in the world market by providing Asian buyers the opportunity to access plentiful natural gas supplies from Western Canada in the form of exported LNG.
This unique project will utilize existing natural gas pipeline capacity from Pacific Northern Gas (PNG). DCEP will install a barge-based Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) plant, along with an LNG carrier berth and nominal onshore facilities. New infrastructure will be provided to transport natural gas from the terminus of the existing PNG facilities, along with electrical power from BC Hydro's Minette substation, to the project site.
Feed gas supplies will be sourced from producers in British Columbia and Alberta. Once converted into LNG at the project site, the product will be exported (utilizing transport vessels operating on behalf of exporters) to international gas markets, enabling Western Canadian natural gas producers to gain access to new market opportunities.

Product Description
The Norse-American Centennial celebration was held in Minneapolis in 1925. It honored the arrival of Norwegian settlers in Minnesota in 1825. It was intended to be a commemorative half dollar but problems in the US Congress stopped that from happening. However, Congress did authorize an official medal and that is what was struck at the US Mint in Philadelphia. The medal was designed by James Earle Fraser and is octagonal in shape and is silver. There are two distinct varieties - Thick and Thin. There were 33,765 Thick medals struck and 6,000 Thin medals.
These Norse medals were avidly collected by commemorative coin collectors since they were officially authorized by the US Congress. This particular medal is very lightly toned on both sides and is graded as MS65 by NGC. It would be a terrific addition to your commemorative coin collection.
The coin pictured is the exact coin you will receive.

MCC moves toward new vision and structure
Tim Shenk
June 9, 2009
HILLSBORO, Kan. — Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) is adopting a revised set of vision and purpose statements and is preparing to restructure its international programs to allow greater involvement and administration by Anabaptist churches around the world.
One new organizational statement defines MCC's identity, purpose, vision, priorities, approaches, values and convictions, while another provides four principles for restructuring MCC into a system of interdependent national or multi-nation agencies.
MCC is redefined as "a worldwide ministry of Anabaptist churches," which expands upon MCC's longtime definition as a ministry of Mennonite and Brethren in Christ churches in Canada and the United States. Anabaptist churches include Mennonites, Brethren in Christ and other related denominations.
The new vision and structure statements, which were produced by a lengthy discernment process called "New Wine/New Wineskins," emphasize MCC's Christian convictions and its ongoing focus on justice and peace, disaster relief and community development.
The new purpose for MCC's work around the world, including in Canada and the U.S., is "MCC endeavors to share God's love and compassion for all 'In the Name of Christ' by responding to basic human needs and working for peace and justice."
According to Arli Klassen, MCC executive director, the revisioning and restructuring process is meant to address a lack of coordination throughout the current system of different MCC organizations. MCC is currently made up of 12 entities with their own boards and executive directors for five Canadian provinces, four U.S. regions, Canadian and U.S. national offices and one binational organization that administers most of MCC's international programs.
According to Klassen, major MCC decisions have required the approval of all 12 MCC boards, and the process has been very cumbersome.
The restructuring is also intended to address dissatisfaction, especially among Canadian supporters of MCC, with the centralization of administration of most of MCC's international programs at MCC's binational office in Akron, Pa., according to Klassen.
One of the new directions for MCC is to transfer the administration of MCC's international programs to MCC Canada and MCC U.S. and to Anabaptist service agencies in other countries. MCC supports the idea of a global forum to explore possibilities for greater coordination with Anabaptist service agencies around the world.
"Our long-term goal and desire is that all programs of MCC would be run and managed by an entity that is within its own region, while being supported by resources that are shared amongst the entire global Anabaptist family," Klassen said.
A new central MCC office would be created to maintain fidelity to MCC's stated identity, purpose and vision throughout a system of interdependent organizations bound by covenanted relationships with each other and with the central office. The central office would replace the current binational MCC organization, and details of its specific role and location have yet to be determined, according to Klassen.
The two statements were prepared at the final summit of the New Wine/New Wineskins process from June 3 to 5 in Hillsboro, Kan. In total, the 18-month process involved more than 2,000 people from 50 countries in discerning God's call for MCC in the 21st century. The summit brought together 96 participants representing MCC boards and Anabaptist denominations.
The statements were then approved by the MCC binational delegate body at its annual meeting in Hillsboro on June 6. The details of MCC's structure will be further developed by MCC's New Wine/New Wineskins Inquiry Task Force in September and submitted to all 12 MCC boards for ratification, along with the statement on MCC's identity and purpose.
Denominations represented on MCC's national and binational governance bodies will also have the opportunity to affirm or object to the statements.
More information on this process is available at mcc.org/newwineskins.

Parents are calling for tighter security, after a 13-year old brought a gun to a Southeast Side elementary school.
Marsh Elementary held an emergency meeting with the principal Friday morning, to discuss the incident.
Parents said the Marsh Elementary school auditorium was packed, as hundreds came to air their anxieties about a 13-year old storing a gun and ammunition in his locker, inside the school.
He has since been charged for the incident.
SEE: 13-year-old boy brought gun to school, parents meet to discuss
The principal at Marsh invited parents to build better communications, along with tighter security.
"The security guard does a great job," Jason Vasquez said. "But he's one man, we need more."
"Times have changed," Rafael Merciel said. "This is what we need now."
"I worry after what happened in Connecticut," another parent named Maria said. "They're going to have tighter security."
Children waited in line for about 30 minutes past the 7:45 a.m. bell, to go through the metal detector at the front door.
It's one of the new policies put in place for the school, which has a preschool program and goes up to 8th grade. Visitors have to show a photo ID and sign in and out.
On Wednesday, the 13-year old boy was caught playing with bullets outside. Under questioning, he allegedly told authorities about the gun and bullets in his locker.
Parents were upset that a child could so easily bring a weapon to school.
Police said the gun belonged to the boy's grandfather. He was released to the custody of his mother and it's not known if he will return to school.

So you're going global, and you need your website to follow. Should be a simple case of getting the text translated and you're good to go, right? Probably not. The Google Webmaster Team frequently builds sites that are localized into over 40 languages, so here are some things that we take into account when launching our pages in both other languages and regions.
(Even if you think you might be immune to these issues because you only offer content in English, it could be that non-English language visitors are using tools like Google Translate to view your content in their language. This traffic should show up in your analytics dashboard, so you can get an idea of how many visitors are not viewing your site in the way it's intended.)
Keeping the HTML code the same for all languages has its advantages when it comes to maintenance. Hacking around with the HTML code for each language to fix bugs doesn't scale–keep your page code as clean as possible and deal with any styling issues in the CSS. To name just one benefit of clean code: most translation tools will parse out the translatable content strings from the HTML document and that job is made much easier when the HTML is well-structured and valid.
Variable word lengths cause particular issues in form labels and controls. If your form layout displays labels on the left and fields on the right, for example, longer text strings can flow over into two lines, whereas shorter text strings do not seem associated with their form input fields–both scenarios ruin the design and impede the readability of the form. Also consider the extra styling you'll need for right-to-left (RTL) layouts (more on that later). For these reasons we design forms with labels above fields, for easy readability and styling that will translate well across languages.

ابةتث <img src="foo.jpg" alt=" جحخد"< ذرزسش!

Our own day-to-day usage has shown the following editors to currently provide decent solutions for bidirectional editing: particularly Coda, and also Dreamweaver, IntelliJ IDEA and JEditX.
When designing for RTL languages you can build most of the support you need into the core CSS and use the directional attribute of the html element (for backwards compatibility) in combination with a class on the body element. As always, keeping all styles in one core stylesheet makes for better maintainability.
Some key styling issues to watch out for: any elements floated right will need to be floated left and vice versa; extra padding or margin widths applied to one side of an element will need to be overridden and switched, and any text-align attributes should be reversed.
We generally use the following approach, including using a class on the body tag rather than a html[dir=rtl] CSS selector because this is compatible with older browsers:

 Heading

Left-to-right (default) styling:
h1 { height: 55px; line-height: 2.05; margin: 0 0 25px; overflow: hidden; } h1 img { float: left; margin: 0 43px 0 0; position: relative; }
Right-to-left styling:
body.rtl { direction: rtl; } body.rtl h1 img { float: right; margin: 0 0 0 43px; }
(See this in action in English and Arabic.)
One final note on this subject: most of the time your content destined for right-to-left language pages will be bidirectional rather than purely RTL, because some strings will probably need to retain their LTR direction–for example, company names in Latin script or telephone numbers. The way to make sure the browser handles this correctly in a primarily RTL document is to wrap the embedded text strings with an inline element using an attribute to set direction, like this:

עוד ב- Google

In cases where you don't have an HTML container to hook the dir attribute into, such as title elements or JavaScript-generated source code for message prompts, you can use this equivalent to set direction where  and  are Unicode control characters for right-to-left embedding:
<title>הפוך את Google לדף הבית שלך</title>
Example usage in JavaScript code:
var ffError = '\u202B' +'כדי להגדיר את Google כדף הבית שלך ב\x2DFirefox, לחץ על הקישור \x22הפוך את Google לדף הבית שלי\x22, וגרור אותו אל סמל ה\x22בית\x22 בדפדפן שלך.'+ '\u202C';
(For more detail, see the W3C's articles on creating HTML for Arabic, Hebrew and other right-to-left scripts and authoring right-to-left scripts.)
Check that your editor and browser encodings are set to UTF-8 (recommended) and consider adding a element and the lang attribute of the html element to your HTML template so browsers know what to expect when rendering your page–this has the added benefit of ensuring that all Unicode characters are displayed correctly, so using HTML entities such as é (é) will not be necessary, saving valuable bytes! Check the W3C's tutorial on character encoding if you're having trouble–it contains in-depth explanations of the issues.
Using a conventional standard will help users understand your site's structure as well as making it more maintainable for all webmasters who might develop the site, and using the language codes for other site assets (logo images, PDF documents) is handy to be able to quickly identify files.
See previous Webmaster Central posts for advice about URL structures and other issues surrounding working with multi-regional websites and working with multilingual websites.
That's a summary of the main challenges we wrestle with on a daily basis; but we can vouch for the fact that putting in the planning and work up front towards well-structured HTML and robust CSS pays dividends during localization!

The latest AACS revision has already been cracked a week before its official release. The AACS LA's key revocation system does not appear to be working as well as it hoped it would.
Read More
Hmm...all of the sudden, Steve Jobs' comments about the inherent insecurity of a interoperable DRM scheme don't seem so invalid. How else could the key have been compromised a week before release than by someone on the inside, or at the very least with inside connections?
That is a truly beautiful statement just for the Borg reference.
resistance is futile >
afaik, there is only 24 or somn X number of keys aacs can change before they run out and aacs is completely compromised forever, correct? so whatever the # of times it is, it's X-2 already. we're that much closer to aacs being permanently gone.
God bless the Borg hackers. I will submit to them mounds of donuts and Starbucks coffee.
You've been watching way too much Star Trek: Voyager.
And can you stop using the inaccurate and inflammatory term "pirate" in this context? It is offensive to those of us who make a living hijacking watercraft.
They already have it... parts I and II.
/me steeples.
Excellent. All is happening exactly as I hoped.
Can anyone confirm this? I don't know all that much about the inner workings of AACS, but I was under the impression that this was one way in which the AACS was way more secure than its predescesor.
I laughed.
Its not uncommon for movies to be shipped out to retailers well in advance of their release date. The extent of the 'inside connection' in this case could be some kid working at walmart.
I'm pretty sure I remember that the number of keys was limited, I thought it was a 5-6+ digit number but I didn't go looking for information and am just going from memory.
A ha ha ha ha ha ha.
either that, or pacific digital breaks street dates for EVERY NEW MOVIE! seriously, there's no need for conspiracy. regular people who ordered from them have had the matrix set for about a week now.
Assumming that the pirates had prior knowledge of the new release...
Wouldn't this hack have had more impact if they waited to reveal to the world AACS was still broken until after the new release (i.e. further lulling the enemy into a false sense of security) ?
I'm afraid I don't follow. Are you assuming they are going to pull this pressing of discs and start over?
++ Arrrr, we be scuppers-awash in landlubber infringers, matey.
Once the keys of a device are exhausted, you'd have to perform a firmware update to load it up with new keys. I assume this is an ongoing process, where devices have thousands of keys registered but only so many on the device at any given time. There are also methods to load new keys on devices as part of the AACS exchange, but I don't know if that's ever been tested.
Managed copy would be really nice, if it existed yet. It's only been about 9 months since the HD wars really began in earnest, but you'd think that would be enough time for someone to come up with a starter implementation. When studios go so far as to demand that all screenshot capability is removed from players because of a laughable potential risk of piracy, is there any chance they'll let you have hassle-free backups?
Star Trek Voyager??? Um, there were Borgs way before that, my child. There was this dude, and his name was Picard. Of course, before that, there was this dude named Kirk.
Now Kirk is a cigar-smoking lawyer with mad cow disease.
The Borg reference was definitely well crafted.
I believe in a sense they may have done something like that. I'm pretty sure the release process is well past the 'point of no return' in terms of disc contents set, masters made, discs made and packaged etc.
So they have actually picked a time of maximum impact.. it's too late now for the studios to do anything about it unless they want to eat the cost of the entire first shipment of disks, and go back and redo the masters etc. But since the average user doesn't have their hands on the movie, the crack gets perceived as 'before release' or in other terms this is perceived by the public as a sort of "day -n" (e.g. worse than day zero) crack.
What will the 'cost' of this be to the legitimate user? how many will have to update players/software to account for the revoked keys?
If this trend does not abate it is going to point out yet again that DRM continues to be a technology that does little to combat any concerted effort at media/IP piracy and only serves to punish the actual consumer that PAYS for the product, aka 'the customer'.
It surely does not make me at all interested in adopting any technology that is based on what would appear to be a fundimentally broken DRM (or any manditory DRM for that matter) technology such as AACS
Any word yet on the progress toward hacking the added layers of protection Blue Ray has? All this does is really hurt the HD-DVD market until that crack happens, correct?
My understanding is that no one has used it (BD+ I believe is what you're referring to), and thus no one has tried cracking it yet. So for now it hurts both markets equally.
I believe that BD+ will be just as actively pursued as AACS by itself is being pursued. Bottom line is that you can't give a customer the lock and key and not expect him to be able to unlock the lock on his own terms.
They aren't hacking on principle. They're hacking so they can make copies of discs and distribute them to the scene first. Usually they get discs a week in advance of street date. If they waited, they'd "lose".
Well I vaguely remember reading a few news articles on the web explaining that Blue Ray uses AACS as well as two other added layers of security.
So you are saying that those added layers of security are option and just have been pressed into the discs available in the market yet?
Anyone got a link explaining this a little? I think I am a bit confused...
Edit - nevermind, my google-fu although weak on this subject managed to rack up enough infor to make sense of it all.
Blue Ray has AACS, BD+ and the third form of DRM is the BR 'Mark'. The latter two haven't been widely used yet as the poster above alluded. Good things to know next time a ps3 fanboy I know picks a fight with me.
This is all about dissemination. Therefore the hackers are getting help by those in the system. Only way to break a key is by brute force (easy, by not this quick) or by help.
The system is corrupt in nature (trusted on paper, untrusted in reality), hence a bad situation for AACS.
Now if keys are being acquired by hardware hacking/stream intercept, then there's a bigger problem in the AACS/DRM scheme.
Yes they are. The bigger problem is that they are putting the key on the media that the key is encrypting.
I'm pretty sure they are. IIRC, it's possible to soft-flash the Xbox360 external HD-DVD drive (which is USB) and directly extract the keys from the data stream. From what I understand, the existence of a single such device is sufficient to completely invalidate key revocation, as a single "pirate" can extract & distribute keys as fast as they can revoke them.
And it's only a matter of time before they reverse engineer it far enough that there is nothing they can revoke that will stop the cracking programs. AACS might have stood a chance of being secure for a while, it really is a pretty ingeniously complicated system, except for the fact that the specs and instructions for implementation are freely available. So the crackers basically know the layout of the house, the brands and models of the locks and safes, and the only recourse the AACS has is changing a few of the locks. That's not going to be enough, especially since they can bypass a lot of the doors by knocking down a few walls. Also, the fact that they have certain keys that can't be changed makes it easier to find the holes in the program once it is updated. It's a lot easier to break encryption if you already know that certain input is going to give certain output.
Easy, if you have a thousand years and a planetful of computers.
128-bit numbers are pretty big.
I know this is another anachronism of the series but in Star Trek: Enterprise, they actually found borgs in antarctica.
As for the AACS, what a better thing to say than: Ha! Ha! /Nelson
Here's my guess for the next generation of DRM:
They'll store the decryption keys on a remote server and the algorithm will be proprietary and secret. Each disk will contain some sort of serial number in a physical location readable only by stand-alone players. When your player phones home, it will upload the serial number and download the key, which will only be good for your particular disk. The decryption key will be stored on your player locally, and the server won't honor further requests from that serial number.
The scheme would of course prevent people from watching movies on their computers, selling their movies, or doing any number of things that are supposed to be allowed by law, sometimes explicitly.
One might be tempted to think that people would refuse to buy entertainment on those terms, but seriously, what are they going to do? Read a book?
In other news, AACS LA will make water no longer wet.
Yes but those were the remnants of the Borgs that traveled back in time in First Contact, so really they didn't exist that far back in the past before that movie.
Does the ability of AnyDVD to remove AACS have anything to do with the compromised volume key/ volume keys in general? I was under the assumption that they had somehow obtained/found/cracked some set of device keys (from software players), all of which have apparently not been revoked (or they have cracked newer versions of the software players).
So (if my guess is right) this can not be called a new crack, and it doesn't involve the new volume key.
"afaik, there is only 24 or somn X number of keys aacs can change before they run out and aacs is completely compromised forever, correct? so whatever the # of times it is, it's X-2 already. we're that much closer to aacs being permanently gone."
I think you're thinking about HDCP, where the space is forty dimensional, so forty linearly independent keys will crack it completely (which means around 70 random keys). AACS is far more complex, as far as I know.
What comes to BD+, each disk can have its own encryption algorithm, so their keys/algorithms can not be exhausted. (But there might be some systematic ways to attack it.)
I accept your explanation sir. I stand corrected. For a guy who saw all of TOS,TNG,Voyager and Enterprise, I'm pretty ashamed of myself right now.
LOL, Trekker hubris.
Ah, yes. I agree. That makes sense.
BD+ is just a Java decryption routine so they can change the encryption without rolling out new firmware/players.
In reality, BD+ is even easier to crack because you've got java byte code at your finger tips that do the decryption; all you need is the keys, in which case you're subject to the exact same issue AACS, CSS, and all the others run into: The keys must be present on the media that also hosts the encrypted content.
No matter how complicated you make it everyone is still just playing hide and go seek with the keys.
I have such a personal distain for DRM in general that I find myself smiling at the fact that it is being circumvented so easily.
One more nail in the coffin for such draconian measures.

I love aTENTtion. It makes me feel stoned even though I'm not. It's a great example of how to use an online rhyming dictionary to write your lyrics. Aspiring songwriters... you know what to do when you have a writer's block, and you want to get your creative juices flowing.
Album Rating: 4.2I didn't expect you to like it, Voivod. It's a pop record after all no matter how inventive it may be. I think the production is amazing on this one, and this clashing thing you mentioned is done really well. I've been a fan of hers since I first heard Kala.
I don't know man, when I see the term "pop", I think of the '80s and the '90s. After that, computers fucked up the genre completely.
I liked "Bad Girls" though, it's a decent song.

It was back to school for the 300 registrants at the Second Annual Professional Convention Management Association's (PCMA) Summer Conference, held in Cincinnati, June 20 to 22. Registration was down slightly over last year's inaugural conference in Toronto, which drew 350 participants.
The opening general session featured a panel of planners and suppliers discussing critical issues in the industry. At the top of the list was the changing buyer/seller relationship in today's hotel market, characterized by tougher contract clauses, higher rates, and fewer guarantees from hotels. Beverly W. Kinkade, vice president of association sales for ITT Sheraton, acknowledged that, "With publicly traded companies such as the Sheraton, we definitely have to maximize our shareholder value." Panelist Mickey Schaefer, CAE, director, meetings and conventions division with the American Academy of Family Physicians, Kansas City, MO, pointed out that today's seller's market is particularly difficult for small meetings.
These same themes were discussed in "Taking The Mystery out of Hotel Pricing," one of the 25 workshops and concurrent sessions. Presenter Gail Wargo, associate regional director, Marriott Hotels, Resorts and Suites (who led the same session at the 1996 PCMA annual meeting) focused on why the hotel market has tightened up. (She cited the issues of supply catching up with demand, and pressure from hotel owners to see improved return on investment). Some trends Wargo identified:
* Lead times are getting pushed farther out, especially for prime season availability, while lucrative short-term business is growing from the corporate market.
* There is an increased premium on hotel meeting/function space.
* More and more hotels are trying to manage the costs of "controllables"-such as laundry expenses-to increase profit margins.
An informative session on the Internet, led by presenters James R. Daggett, CAE, CMP, president of CME Unlimited, and John Folks, director of sales, national accounts, Hilton Hotels & Resorts, offered some insights about Net economics, including a discussion of the value of association home pages as advertising vehicles for suppliers-even when those suppliers have their own home pages.

Post-Match Quote Sheet: U.S. U-17 WNT 1, France 1
Nov 5, 2008
U.S. head coach Kazbek Tambi
On the match:
"We knew going in that we needed a tie to go forward (in the tournament) so we told our kids that our first priority was to make sure to keep our nets clean, but at the same time we told them that we can't sit back and we've got to go after them and try to win the game, attack, and create chances. I thought we did pretty good job on that end, and scored the goal which helped, and we missed a couple of others which would have put the icing on the cake. Unfortunately, we took one at the end which made the last couple of minutes a bit nerve-wracking."
On the excellent start to the second half:
"We told them we wanted to keep the ball a little bit better. I felt in the first half that we still created some chances, but we could create more chances by possessing better, wearing the other team down and then going for goal. I felt we did that better and that's probably why we had a little stronger second half."
On the tournament overall, the first world championship for U-17 women:
""We're learning on the job as each game comes. This is a brand new tournament and this whole event is a phenomenal experience for all of us."
On rebounding from an opening game loss to make the quarterfinals:
"We have a great cast of characters who came here with tremendous ambition to play some great soccer and get results. The first game against Japan was a set-back and we give Japan full credit for having a great game, but we did sit down and talk to the team about the fact that pulling two results would still get us through so to get their heads up and get refocused. They did that, and it's shown and they did just enough to pull it off. I think that's tremendous. For 17-year-olds to be in this world forum and to have the composure, guts and character to stay together and not be rattled after taking a first loss is awesome."
U.S. goalkeeper Taylor Vancil
On the match:
"It's our best game by far and we're hoping to improve every game. Our defense was solid today. They were great and we're just happy we could pull it out."
On defending France's last few scoring chances:
"We do it every day in practice. It's just a normal thing. It got a little nervous towards the end, but at the end of the day it's the same job you do in training every day."
U.S. forward Vicki DiMartino:
On if her goal was one of her best ever:
"I kind of don't remember the goals that I score, but that was a good goal. I looked up and saw the goalkeeper out and it was on my right foot so I just plopped it right over her. I was going for a chip because it's my weak foot and I don't really have as much power as in my left."
On the feeling of the team after the game:
"We were excited. It was a great feeling knowing that our hard work pulled us through."
U.S. midfielder Kristie Mewis
On the match:
"It was a really good game. France is a great team and they probably played their best game against us. It was really even at the end. Each team had their little spurts. They had a good 15 minutes, then we did, but we were able to get the result we needed."
On the game plan for the match:
"Kaz told us that they play defensively, with four in the back and a lot of players in the midfield, and they only play with one forward, but their outside mids attack really well. He told us to keep the ball and own the field, play with our flanks and switch the ball because they tend to push to one side defensively and as long as we switched the ball we would get some openings and we did."
On the level of play in the tournament:
"These teams are on a whole other level. It's a great competition. You always have to find that little way to score and make that one last run. There is nowhere to hide in any of these games."
On looking forward:
"I don't think we've played our best yet. We usually pass the ball around more and keep the ball better, but we're hoping our next game is our best game."

Question: What exactly is "identity theft"?
Answer: Identity theft is stealing people's personal information to defraud them. Using their personal information, criminals then make charges to a person's credit cards or cellphone, or perhaps impersonate them for access to bank accounts and more. Identity thieves like to prey on elderly who often lack the clarity and technical sophistication of younger adults.
You can take steps to reduce your exposure to identity theft. Three major strategies to take are:

The Dalton Highway stretches 414 miles across northern Alaska from Livengood (84 miles north of Fairbanks) to Deadhorse and the oilfields of Prudhoe Bay. Built during construction of the trans-Alaska oil pipeline in the 1970s, this mostly gravel highway travels through rolling, forested hills, across the Yukon River and Arctic Circle, through the rugged Brooks Range, and over the North Slope to the Arctic Ocean. Along most of its length, you'll see no strip malls, no gift shops, no service stations—just forest, tundra, and mountains, crossed by a double ribbon of road and pipe.
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) manages a swath of public lands along the highway from the Yukon River to the north side of the Brooks Range. Within the Dalton corridor, the BLM maintains campgrounds, rest areas, interpretive panels and the award-winning Arctic Interagency Visitor Center in Coldfoot.
This is no ordinary road -- it pays to be prepared. There is no cell phone service or public Internet connection along the Dalton Highway. Before you embark on this incredible journey, read the tips on this website.
THINKING ABOUT A WINTER TRIP? From October to May travelers face rapidly changing weather and road conditions. High winds, blowing snow, icy roads and temperatures dipping to -50°F or colder require special cold weather gear, properly winterized vehicles, and experience. Days are short. Blizzards and avalanches can close sections of the road for several hours or even several days. Basic services are available only in Coldfoot and Deadhorse, 250 and 415 miles from Fairbanks, respectively. Do not underestimate the dangers. Guided tours are available: check with the Fairbanks Convention & Visitors Bureau for more information.The Alaska Department of Transportation provides travel advisories.

The Wildflowers of the WestReturn to Top
The beautiful region of our Mountain West is home to many of our treasured native plants. Gardeners in the region can easily establish a wild flower meadow, but certain procedures need to be followed.
While elevations and temperature ranges are widely varied, the most important issue is water availability. Wildflowers are tough, but like any plants, to become established, they must have moisture. Most importantly, plant your seed near the beginning of the rainiest season for your area. Planting can be successful in fall or spring.
Our Proven Wildflower Seeds Mixture for the West has been a best-seller in your region for decades, and our premium All-Native Wildflower Mix for the West has even more of the area's native species.

|731mm f/4.8
|0.77 arc sec.
|696.0mm x 180.3mm
The Explore Scientific David H. Levy Comet Hunter is the result of a dream collaboration between long-time amateur astronomer & Explore Scientific founder, Scott Roberts, and one of his life-long heroes, David H. Levy. David is an author, lecturer, & discoverer of a plethora of comets and asteroids; most notably the co-discovery of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9, the amazing "fuzzy snowball" that broke apart and whose fragments, streaming towards Jupiter like a celestial string of pearls, collided with the giant planet in 1994.
Rich Field Optics
The 6-inch f/4.8 Maksutov-Newtonian primary mirror is crafted from BK-7 glass, and layered with Explore Scientific's Enhanced Multi-Layer Deposition (EMD)coatings for bright, high contrast images and the elimination of light scatter. The addition of a Maksutov corrector plate improves off-axis images over traditional Newtonian optics. The EMD-coated corrector eliminates spherical aberration and produces those pin-point star images across the field that are so desirable. Finally, the secondary mirror, held in place by the corrector plate, is provided with 99% dielectric coatings for high reflectivity and protection.
Carbon Fiber Tube Assembly & Dew Shield
Carbon fiber isn't the most economical choice when designing a telescope, but the high strength-to-weight ratio and low expansion characteristics of the material, which helps maintain focus despite fluctuations in temperature, made it the only choice for the Comet Hunter. Inside the tube assembly you will find we have taken extraordinary steps to keep stray light under control. The interior is painted flat black, and the primary is baffled to keep wayward photons from entering the optical path. On the exterior of the tube, we have taken care to make sure the focuser fits tightly and the primary mirror cell is sealed against light leaks.
A Versatile Focuser
The Explore Scientific Comet Hunter includes a high quality precision 2" dual-speed Crayford-style focuser with 10:1 micro focus and tension adjustment. The ability to adjust and lock the tension on the draw tube is helpful when you change the weight of the load attached to the focuser.
You will appreciate the smooth movement, the large course and fine focusing knobs, and the graduated scale imprinted on the draw tube. Extension tubes are included to allow you to adjust the back focus when using different eyepieces or a camera, and a 2" and 1.25" compression ring eyepiece adapter is included.
Cradling Your Telescope
The cradle and mounting plate for a telescope is not to be trifled with. This is the component that secures your Comet Hunter to the mount, and keeps it from falling on your toes as you slew it around the sky. The cradle consists of two clamp rings, and bridging those rings, like the Golden Gate Bridge, is a sturdy handle that allows you to easily move the telescope in and out of its case or on and off its mount. The handle is slotted to accept 1/4-20 bolts so that you can piggyback a camera, guidescope or other accessory on the handle if you wish. It is a design element that, while simple, is much appreciated. The saddle plate (the part that attaches the tube to your choice of mount) is made of one piece of machined aluminum extrusion for security and rigidity, and fits any "Vixen-style" mount, such as any Explore mount, smaller Meade & Celestron mounts, Vixen mounts, and various other models.

Comments about DeMarini 2012 CF5 Insane -10 Fastpitch Softball Bat:
I bought this bat for my daughter when she was 13. The bat is an end loaded design which took her getting used too versus a balanced bat. During games she was late almost every swing till we had her choke up a little....once she was able to get the bat around faster this bat had demonstrated unbelieveable pop. My daughter became a hitting machine once she got used to the end loaded bat. She has a 32/22 (10)...A 31/21 would have been ideal for her but by choking up she figured it out! I would definitely recommend this bat, but make sure to test first if never using an end loaded bat versus a balanced bat. If an end load isn't for her, then go to the CF5 Hope or balanced versions. DeMarini CF5 bats are hot right out of the wrapper and only get hotter!
Comments about DeMarini 2012 CF5 Insane -10 Fastpitch Softball Bat:

Comments about DeMarini 2012 CF5 Insane -10 Fastpitch Softball Bat:
This bat has as much pop as a RocketTech, but has truer results after a day of hitting. Plus, as it breaks in it will gain launch due to the composite barrel.
Comments about DeMarini 2012 CF5 Insane -10 Fastpitch Softball Bat:
Ball with end load travels farther and harder off bat. Other players are also using with same results.

Video: Lukas Rosol hits tweener winner in Davis Cup for Czech Republic
Given the ubiquitous nature of the "tweener" — it seems not a day goes by that an ATP player doesn't attempt one — it takes a pretty spectacular one to make us sit up and take notice these days. So kudos to you, Lukas Rosol. I'm sitting up and taking notice.
Rosol, who got the nod to play the Czech Republic's opening Davis Cup rubber after Radek Stepanek withdrew to have neck surgery, hit this fantastic sharp-angled "tweener" for a winner against Switzerland's Stanislas Wawrinka. He had a good amount of time to set up, but to hit that angle was pretty special.
Unfortunately for Rosol and the defending champions, it wasn't enough. Wawrinka, who looked like a man still riding the wave of confidence gained from his five-set effort against Novak Djokovic at the Australian Open, won 6-4, 6-3, 6-4. With Tomas Berdych defeating Henri Laaksonen in the second match, the teams are tied 1-1 heading into Saturday's doubles.

Preview: Mavericks at Nets
After being huge disappointments over the first two months of the season, the Brooklyn Nets are now the hottest team in the league entering Friday's home contest against the Dallas Mavericks. The Nets are an NBA-best 8-1 in January and have won their last three games and are suddenly just four games below .500 as well as bona fide playoff contenders in the weak Eastern Conference. The Mavericks have lost three of their last five games and are concluding a three-game road swing.Standout forward Dirk Nowitzki will be back in the lineup after sitting out Wednesday's loss to the Toronto Raptors. Dallas led by as many as 21 before blowing the lead - it marks the fifth time the Mavericks have lost after leading by 17 or more - but coach Rick Carlisle refused to question the timing of resting the veteran. "It was just the right thing to do, the right thing for him and for the organization," Carlisle said afterward. "He needed a day to rest." The Nets have held the opponent under 100 points in eight of the past nine games.TV: 7:30 p.m. ET, FSN Southwest (Dallas), YES (Brooklyn)ABOUT THE MAVERICKS (25-19): The collapse against Toronto continues a season-long trend in which Dallas struggles to hold large leads, and veteran Vince Carter is troubled by the situation. "I think we just have to zero in on staying focused, staying the course and continuing to do what got us to that point," Carter said after the loss. "I think that sometimes we get comfortable and we're still learning how to win. It's very frustrating. This is a game that we should have won regardless of if Dirk was on the floor or not."ABOUT THE NETS (18-22): First-year coach Jason Kidd is becoming more comfortable running the team and the players are deciphering what he's preaching as the season has taken a strong upward turn. Point guard Deron Williams and forward Paul Pierce both cited a better approach coming out of halftime as a huge factor in January's success. "We're not only winning but we're pretty convincingly turning it on in the third quarter with the defense, the way we're moving the ball," Pierce said. "That's what we want. That's all (Kidd) wants out of us - night-in, night-out - a consistent effort."BUZZER BEATERS 1. Dallas has won 20 of the last 25 meetings.2. The Nets have won six consecutive home games dating back to a Christmas Day loss to the Chicago Bulls.3. The Mavericks are 17-4 when holding opponents under 100 points.PREDICTION: Nets 99, Mavericks 94

Jimmy Walker wants to remain at the Bescot
Walsall star Jimmy Walker has denied rumours of him joining League Two side Barnet.
Reports had suggested that the 38-year-old goalkeeper was going to switch the Bescot Stadium for Underhill as the Bees look for a replacement for Dean Brill.
But Walker quashed the rumours, tweeting: "No truth in that at the minute... hopefully can get it sorted ... can't imagin finishin up any where else!!"

It turns out that William Sutton was a pretty impressive figure in the Methodist Church at the time.
Here is an excerpt from a book called, "History of the American Negro and His Institutions. Vol 4" by Arthur Bunyan Caldwell.
It turns out that the Eastern North Carolina Industrial Academy was located on Williams St. The same street where the church where Thomas Duke Harrison was pastor of was located. I will mention what I found regarding the other two deeds for "The Duke" on my next post.
