Rainforests: Prince Charles and Sting send an SOS to the world
Sting has lent his voice and his lyrics to a campaign spearheaded by Prince Charles intended to safeguard against the destruction of the world's rainforests.
The singer has released a special compilation video of The Police's 'Message in a Bottle', urging the public to (as the chorus goes) 'send an SOS to the world' in support of the Prince's Rainforests Project (PRP).
"Thirty years ago I wrote 'Message in a Bottle'. Today I'm joining forces with the Prince of Wales and many others […] to send an SOS to the world," Sting said.
The PRP wants supporters to add their name and SOS messages to a petition being collected online at www.rainforestSOS.org. It says tropical deforestation is a major cause of greenhouse gas emissions and carbon emissions, and that there is growing understanding that rainforests regulate rainfall, preserve biodiversity and store carbon.
Celebrities such as Vivienne Westwood, Joanna Lumley, Billy Connelly, Rod Stewart, Stephen Fry and Rory Bremner are actively supporting the campaign, which will culminate in meeting of NGO leaders, business directors and politicians hosted by Prince Charles in November.
"Rainforests are utterly essential in our fight against climate change. They absorb nearly a fifth of our carbon emissions and yet they are being destroyed at the rate of a football pitch every four seconds," Prince Charles said in a video message.

More than three months after the Boston Marathon bombing, some 30 victims and family members sat shoulder to shoulder at yesterday's arraignment of bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.
He pleaded "not guilty" to all 30 counts against him, including murdering four people and wounding more than 200 others.
CNN's Deborah Feyerick was in the emotional courtroom on Wednesday.
"His feet were shackled, his hand was in a cast and it appeared he suffered some nerve damage to his face," Feyerick reports.
Liz Norden's two sons each lost a leg during the attack. She watched for a sign of remorse from Tsarnaev, but was disappointed.
"No remorse," she says. "He smirked at the people in the courtroom."

A 40-year-old farmer spent a night lying injured on the banks of Waikato's Waihau River after his quad bike rolled during a recreational ride.
Constable Tony Hawke of Matamata police said the man had taken the bike for a ride on an Old Te Aroha Rd farm on Monday afternoon when he had the accident but was not found, beside the river, until 11am on Tuesday.
The man, who had not been named yesterday afternoon because his family had not been told, was flown to Waikato Hospital with serious back and pelvic injuries.
He was under assessment in the emergency department.
The bike rolled over him after he climbed off to open a gate.
"The quad bike has left the farm track into a culvert and the bike has rolled on top of him," Hawke said. "He's crawled out on to a bank adjacent to the river. A couple of times in the night he's fallen into the river and pulled himself out again."
Hawke said the rider was in no fit state to explain what had happened when he was found and police would not investigate because the accident was on private land.
It appears the farmer lived alone, as no-one raised the alarm.
"Someone had concerns that the man's dogs were at home," said Todd Dunham, pilot of the Tauranga based TrustPower TECT rescue helicopter, which flew the injured man to hospital.
"He hadn't been seen and that's triggered the landowner to go down to the back of the farm where he found the bike in the ditch and the other farmer."
The man had been helped by one paramedic when Todd arrived.
"He was in a lot of pain. He was probably about a foot away from the edge of the river and had been there all night.
"And he's lucky . . . He's managed to crawl out of the trench [where the motorbike knocked him in], go up and crawl under a fence but slipped over the bank on the other side into the river . . . It's lucky he did stop where he did because it was quite a steep bank."

Op-Ed: Linda Carty's other lawyer sets the record straight
Alexander Baron
Dec 6, 2011 in
- Two years ago, Clive Stafford Smith's Reprieve organisation launched a campaign on behalf of Linda Carty, who was and remains on death row in Texas.
That campaign has been more enthusiastic than truthful.
Anyone convicted of any crime, great or small, has the right to protest his or her innocence, even in the face of absolutely overwhelming evidence of guilt.
There are though different rules for lawyers, not least for lawyers
who solicit money
from both the general public and from corporations in order to fund research, campaigning and advocacy.
A lawyer may be an advocate but he is also an officer of the court, and as such he has an overriding duty to justice.
Sometimes it can be tricky to both advocate for a client and serve justice; and sometimes, a lawyer will cross the line.
While Linda Carty has the absolute right not only to protest her innocence but to make any wild claim she pleases, a lawyer who represents her or professes to represent her does not, especially when such advocacy includes defaming other members of his profession, and endorsing clearly proven lies.
Some background to the case of Linda Carty can be found
; a critical review of the recent documentary about her can be found
, and a lengthy legal document including findings of facts by the appellate courts can be found
Briefly though, two years ago, the London office of the Reprieve organisation - a registered charity - launched a high profile campaign on Carty's behalf. The thrust of that campaign is not simply that Carty should be spared execution, but that she is innocent of the terrible crime of which she was convicted, and that she is on death row for two reasons entirely not of her making: that she was framed by wicked drug dealers, and that she was represented by the worst lawyer in Texas if not in America or even the entire world.
A number of allegations have been made against Jerry Guerinot including that he spent only fifteen minutes with his client prior to trial, that he failed to advise her of her right to consular assistance - as a British citizen - and that he failed to locate crucial witnesses.
It has also been claimed that he has more clients or former clients on death row than any other attorney in America.
On the face of it, these are serious allegations, but do they stand up to scrutiny?
One person who thinks not is Windi Akins Pastorini, the former Windi Akins and Jerry Guerinot's co-counsel. Although she doesn't look old enough, she has been a lawyer for 25 years, and now has her own practice in Houston. Her
credentials are impressive
Being both unaware of the campaign being waged by Reprieve on behalf of her former client, and being also understandably suspicious of a contact by an unknown quantity out of the blue, she was initially somewhat reserved, but agreed to set the record straight subject to legal protocol.
It is no exaggeration to she was shocked at some of the allegations that have been thrown around like confetti for the past two years and more; as the lady herself said: "Has anyone even bothered to read the transcript of the trial?"
Sadly, the people who are currently lobbying for Carty on Facebook - principally daffy young women - seem to take pride in not reading anything about this case and in parroting uncritically the guff spewed out by Carty herself and regurgigated by a smiling Clive Stafford Smith.
AB: Thank you for taking the time to answer some questions; it is much appreciated. I see you are still handling capital cases. Can I ask how many clients you have on death row?
WA: I have only one other person on death row. All my other clients where convicted have received life.
AB: I sent you some links, would you care to comment?
WA: The
article you sent me
is full of misrepresentations about the representation Jerry rendered. What exactly are you looking for? I wouldn't want to speak for Jerry because I don't know his perspective.
AB: Linda Carty's daughter Jovelle doesn't think much of you, see at 1.40 seconds
WA: Linda Carty's daughter didn't want to testify for her mother, even knowing it was in an effort to save her life, so I had her subpoenaed and physically brought her to court. She wasn't happy with me, but we were trying to save Linda's life, she didn't want to get involved.
AB: How did you become involved with this case?
WA: Judge Davies and Jerry Guerinot asked me to take the case and assist him at trial.
AB: Did you or did Linda Carty consider an insanity plea?
WA: We had Carty examined by a psychologist twice, once before trial and once during trial. She, unfortunately, is not crazy nor was she incompetent to stand trial.
AB: What do you say to the claim that Jerry Guerinot is the worst lawyer in America because he has or had so many clients on death row?
WA: Jerry Guerinot is a very good lawyer. He has so many people on death row because judges in Harris County would appoint him to the baddest of the bad.
If this sounds a bit lame, the reader should consider the following. First, Texas executes far more convicted murderers than any other state. Check out
this table
Whether or not Clive Stafford Smith, Windi Akins or anyone else agrees with this policy, it is a fact.
Second, Jerry Guerinot was at that time a public defender specialising in capital cases. By the same token, the late Judge Sabo, who presided over the trial of
Mumia Abu-Jamal
, specialised in death penalty cases. (Apologists for Mumia have often claimed Sabo "
sentenced to death
" more people than any other judge in America).
Third, if the police and the District Attorney do their jobs properly, one would hope that the only people indicted for murder would be those who are almost certainly guilty, if not of murder then of some extremely serious crime. Therefore it could be argued that a high percentage of convictions for capital murder implies that the system is working. Conversely, if 95% of Jerry Guerinot's clients had been acquitted of capital murder, one might have inferred either that he was the second coming of
Perry Mason
or perhaps bribing judges.
In short, this is yet another case of lies, damned lies and statistics.
This article from the
of December 2, 2007 while overtly hostile to Guerinot as well as crassly sympathetic to Carty, sheds some light on the difficulties he faced as a defense attorney in capital cases. It reveals also that he has prosecuted successfully in six capital cases (though not for the defendants!) Back to the interview.
AB: Do you believe Linda Carty is guilty?
WA: There is no question in my mind that the last thing the new mother, of her 4 day old baby who was taken from her saw, was the face of Linda Carty carrying her son away, as she lay hog-tied in the trunk of the car Linda Carty had rented. She died a
terrible death
AB: What about her co-conspirators, the men she claims were responsible?
WA: Those "drug dealers" that she recruited are about as small time as drug dealers can get, and there was absolutely nothing in it for them, except for all the drugs and money Linda promised there would be in the apartment where the parents of the new baby lived...which was a major lie.
AB: Did Linda Carty testify in her own defense?
WA: No, Linda did not take the stand. She solidly refused to tell us what was her defense. She was always talking about one attorney or the other going to take over the case, and she would tell them about her "defense".
AB: And Carty's claim that her lawyer spent only fifteen minutes with her prior to trial?
WA: Jerry spoke to Linda many times, even before I was asked to help; and not for "just 15 minutes before trial". He had a licensed investigator already appointed, John Castillo, who not only did the investigation in the case, and provided us with written reports, he took us to all the places where events allegedly occurred and then several times he took us to the jail for the 3 of us to be able to visit with Linda personally…and that was only during the time I was on the case. Jerry provided me with notes from many interviews with Linda, and shared with me the frustration for a client who refused our help. His hope was that I would be able to get her cooperation and help in her defense, which she refused to do.
AB: Windi Akins Pastorini, thank you very much.
WA: Thank you for your interest in telling the whole truth.
Now the reader must make up his or more likely her, own mind. The choice is to believe Linda Carty and her amen corner, or to believe the former Windi Akins who was there and did her best for her client against the odds, and has been rewarded for it by slander and vilification. Bear in mind that not only was Carty's other lawyer there, but the official record confirms everything she has said, and that official record is but a
mouse click away
The simple fact is that rather than being framed by wicked drug dealers, Carty is the author of her own misfortune, and rather than having the worst lawyer in the world, her attorney, Jerry Guerinot, had arguably the worst client in the world. A client who was both uncooperative to the point of vexatiousness, and guilty as sin.

Washington Post: Toss The All Volunteer Military
Welcome to Ãœber Liberal World!
(Washington Post) Our lives are cluttered with unnecessary traditions, ideas and institutions. Warm weather came early this year, but there's still time for a good spring cleaning. After purging old receipts, broken appliances and unloved outfits, what else should we toss? Outlook asked 10 writers what they thought we'd be better off without. From the Cabinet to premium gas to chick flicks, here are their picks.
1. All-volunteer military by Thomas E. Ricks
2. Premium gas by Jeff S. Bartlett
3. Home equity loans by Bethany McLean
4. 3 p.m. school day by Peter Orszag
5. Chick flicks by Melissa Silverstein
6. The Cabinet by Dana Milbank
7. Software patents by Christina Mulligan
8. The social kiss by Meghan Daum
9. Brainstorming by Jonah Lehrer
10. Grades by Melissa Harris-Perry
The above link goes to #1 on the list, the all-volunteer military, with links to the other 9 embedded at the beginning of the story
Since the end of the military draft in 1973, every person joining the U.S. armed forces has done so because he or she asked to be there. Over the past decade, this all-volunteer force has been put to the test and has succeeded, fighting two sustained foreign wars with troops standing up to multiple combat deployments and extreme stress.
This is precisely the reason it is time to get rid of the all-volunteer force. It has been too successful. Our relatively small and highly adept military has made it all too easy for our nation to go to war – and to ignore the consequences.
So, our military is just to darned good, so let's do away with volunteering and go to a draft?
We had a draft in the 1960s, of course, and it did not stop President Lyndon Johnson from getting into a ground war in Vietnam. But the draft sure did encourage people to pay attention to the war and decide whether they were willing to support it.
Hmm, so even with a draft, LBJ was still rather adventuresome? Then what's the point? "...reestablishing a draft, with all its Vietnam-era connotations, would cause problems for the military…" Ah. There's the point. Ruining the best fighting force on the planet, bringing America down off our perch.
As for the others
2. Premium gas by Jeff S. Bartlett (so what if you're engine can be damaged? You shouldn't be driving that type of super evil Gaia killing vehicle)
3. Home equity loans by Bethany McLean (actually makes a good point about home owners loading up on debt)
4. 3 p.m. school day by Peter Orszag (makes some good points in keeping school open till 5 or 6pm, but, I think we all know the idea is to provide more indoctrination time for kids. Of course, what of those who play sports, have groups to attend, or work?)
5. Chick flicks by Melissa Silverstein (yes, please!)
6. The Cabinet by Dana Milbank (Milbank makes a few good points on this one, which is the presidential cabinet. Another one would be to get rid of all the unelected and unaccountable czars)
7. Software patents by Christina Mulligan (people are mean for daring to patent their work, oh, and it's hard to enforce them, so…)
8. The social kiss by Meghan Daum (because we might….gulp….graze lips. Cooties!)
9. Brainstorming by Jonah Lehrer (some good points)
10. Grades by Melissa Harris-Perry (this one deserves a post of its own. It's about as whiny from a left wing teachers POV as it can get)
I'd get rid of:
- Science that doesn't follow the scientific method
- Science that is based on political advocacy
- Warmists that don't live the life they say everyone else should live. I suggest they be drafted into the Peace Corps and dropped in some Third World shit hole, er, developing nation, to see how they live
- The permanent political aristrocracy – we need term limits. Which would also eliminate
- The neverending campaigns
- Voting rights for people who are too unknowledgable to vote
I could surely come up with some more, however, what are your ideas?

Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) are increasing at an unprecedented rate. The threat landscape of today is drastically different than just a few years ago. Attacks are much more organized and sophisticated. They are harder to detect and even harder to anticipate. In the foreseeable future it's going to get a whole lot harder. Everything you know today will change. Keeping up with this changing landscape is already a daunting task. Your organization needs to use the latest tools, methods and expertise to guard against those threats. But will that be enough? In the foreseeable future attacks w...

By Elizabeth White As enterprises move to all-IP networks and cloud-based applications, communications service providers (CSPs) – facing increased competition from over-the-top providers delivering content via the Internet and independently of CSPs – must be able to offer seamless cloud-based communication and collaboration solutions that can scale for small, midsize, and large enterprises, as well as public sector organizations, in order to keep and grow market share. The latest version of Oracle Communications Unified Communications Suite gives CSPs the capability to do just that. In addition, its integration ... Jan. 26, 2015 11:00 AM EST Reads: 4,288 |

By Elizabeth White The Internet of Things is a misnomer. That implies that everything is on the Internet, and that simply should not be - especially for things that are blurring the line between medical devices that stimulate like a pacemaker and quantified self-sensors like a pedometer or pulse tracker. The mesh of things that we manage must be segmented into zones of trust for sensing data, transmitting data, receiving command and control administrative changes, and peer-to-peer mesh messaging.

By Elizabeth White The Industrial Internet revolution is now underway, enabled by connected machines and billions of devices that communicate and collaborate.
The massive amounts of Big Data requiring real-time analysis is flooding legacy IT systems and giving way to cloud environments that can handle the unpredictable workloads.
Yet many barriers remain until we can fully realize the opportunities and benefits from the convergence of machines and devices with Big Data and the cloud, including interoperability, data security and privacy. Jan. 26, 2015 07:45 AM EST Reads: 3,743 |

Weekly Jobless Claims Drop Again, Stay Near 5-Year Low
Originally published on Thu May 2, 2013 9:33 am
There were 324,000 first-time claims for unemployment insurance last week, down 18,000 from the previous week's 342,000, the Employment and Training Administration reports.
Claims continue to run around the lowest pace since early 2008 — they haven't been lower since a week in mid-January 2008 when they came in at 321,000.
Bloomberg News writes that the drop indicates "companies are retaining staff even as the economy cools."
We'll learn much more about the labor market Friday, when the Bureau of Labor Statistics is due to release data on the April unemployment rate and job growth. Bloomberg says that economists expect to hear that a modest 145,000 jobs were added to payrolls and that the jobless rate held steady at 7.6 percent.
Update at 9:30 a.m. ET. Layoffs Down Too:
Also this morning, the outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas reported that in April, "job cuts fell to their lowest level since December, as U.S. employers announced plans to trim payrolls by 38,121. ... April job cuts were 23 percent lower than March, when announced layoffs totaled 49,255. They were 6.0 percent lower than the 40,559 planned job cuts announced in April 2012. April represents the lowest job-cut month since last December, when 32,556 were tracked by Challenger."

French tourism campaign "ignores" Sword Beach
tags: American Revolution, United States, Canada, HMS Ontario, Great LakesD-Day veterans have criticised French tourism officials after they unveiled a new promotional campaign about the Normandy landings which ignores one of the beaches where British troops went ashore.
The initiative covers only four of the five areas where Allied forces landed on 6th June 1944, omitting 'Sword' beach, where almost 700 British troops were killed or wounded.
The new campaign was launched earlier this month by six tourist boards along the Normandy coast. They have joined up to create an area they are promoting with the slogan of the landings' "secteur mythique" (mythical sector). This stretches from Utah in the west, across all the other beaches where troops came ashore but stops short of Sword, at the eastern end.
It also excludes a part of the adjacent Juno beach, where Canadians soldiers invaded, as well as drop zones further inland where airborne troops landed by parachute or glider, including the area around Pegasus Bridge....
