Power analysis attacks allow the extraction of secret information from smart cards. Smart cards are used in many applications including banking, mobile communications, pay TV, and electronic signatures. In all these applications, the security of the smart cards is of crucial importance.
Power Analysis Attacks: Revealing the Secrets of Smart Cards is the first comprehensive treatment of power analysis attacks and countermeasures. Based on the principle that the only way to defend against power analysis attacks is to understand them, this book explains how power analysis attacks work. Using many examples, it discusses simple and differential power analysis as well as advanced techniques like template attacks. Furthermore, this volume provides an extensive discussion of countermeasures like shuffling, masking, and DPA-resistant logic styles.
By analyzing the pros and cons of the different countermeasures, Power Analysis Attacks: Revealing the Secrets of Smart Cards allows practitioners to decide how to protect smart cards. This book also provides valuable information for graduate and advanced undergraduate students, and researchers working in information security.

MAIDUGURI, Nigeria (Reuters) - Suspected Islamists drove a car packed with explosives into a police patrol in the northeast city of Maiduguri on Tuesday, killing five policemen, a police source and a witness said.
A police sergeant, who declined to be named because he was not authorised to speak, said the bombers crashed a Volkswagen Golf into the parked patrol vehicle and detonated the explosives by the Dalori Quarters, an estate for civil servants on the outskirts of the city.
Aliyu Surajo, 66, who witnessed the events from in front of his house, said there was a loud blast, then smoke filled the air. He said he saw five charred bodies of policeman in their vehicle afterward, and two bodies in the bombers' car
The police spokesman for Borno state, of which Maiduguri is the capital and the birthplace of the insurgency, did not respond to a request for comment.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility. Boko Haram, an al Qaeda-linked group fighting to reinstate a medieval Islamic caliphate in northern Nigeria, has sometimes used suicide bombings as a tactic.
Security sources say Boko Haram has killed hundreds, possibly thousands, this year in a campaign of violence that is growing in intensity - and has spread beyond its traditional targets in the government and security forces to civilians.
Suspected Islamist militants detonated a bomb in a crowded marketplace in northeastern Nigeria late on Saturday, killing at least 20 people.
A military crackdown since last May has failed to quell the insurgency, which after four-and-a-half years remains the leading security threat to Africa's top oil producer, although it remains far from southern oil fields or the commercial hub of Lagos.

We gave you an epic trailer for Haim's new music video yesterday and now you can watch the full video below!
In My Song 5, the Haim sisters are all on the set of a trashy talk show, hosted by Saturday Night Live's Vanessa Bayer, where a number of guests go on to make shocking confessions. A woman reveals her fear of cotton balls, Kesha admits that she's in love with her cat Mr. Boots and that secret bassist Este Haim had in the trailer we saw? Nope, it wasn't bass face — she has a thing for mimes! What!
And that's not all, this video is packed with even more surprise cameos like a Where's Waldo of indie rock stars and rappers. Grimes can be found backstage chatting up lead singer Danielle Haim, Vampire Weekend's Ezra Koenig and Big Sean are sitting in the audience and the track's guest rapper A$AP Ferg airs out some dirty laundry on this fake talk show with his girlfriend.
This totally sounds bonkers, and you've gotta keep a keen eye out throughout the video to spot some of the trickier cameos, but it is an overall triumph of a music video that we can't stop watching. Check it out below!

News Details
Red Bull, Mercedes success deserved - Alonso
Fernando Alonso believes the success Red Bull and Mercedes have had in recent seasons are completely 'deserved'.
Red Bull dominated Formula one from 2010 to 2014, winning four consecutive Drivers' and Constructors' titles with Sebastian Vettel as the lead driver.
At the start of this year, some radical technical changes were brought into the sport and Mercedes have won every race so far under the new rules, claiming one-two finishes in each of the last five races.
Although the dominance of these two teams have been the target of constant criticism, Alonso - who narrowly missed out to Vettel in 2010 and 2012 - appreciates the hard work that's gone into designing a title-winning car....

Today's Horoscope by Rick Levine
Opening your heart to someone at work today may have you worrying about the appropriateness of your actions, especially if the situation makes you uncomfortable. Try to avoid getting caught up in other people's responses to your emotional disclosure. What anyone else thinks is less important now than what you feel; you will be better off expressing your vulnerability whether it is received with enthusiasm or not. You might be very busy caring about everyone else's needs, but that doesn't mean yours don't count.

Campaign Viral Chart: Diet Coke 'hunk' rides out Super Bowl rush
By Ben Hall, campaignlive.co.uk, Friday, 01 February 2013 09:13AM
Diet Coke's "hunk", brought back to celebrate the brand's 30th birthday, joins a host of Super Bowl ads in this week's most-shared virals.
Diet Coke released a teaser for the ad on its Facebook page last week.
The full ad, created by BETC London, was unveiled at 11.30am (Diet Coke time) on Monday 28 January. Since then, it has been shared more than 41,000 times.
The work is the first "hunk" ad since 2007. It was joined by a host of Super Bowl "game day" ads from brands including Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz and Taco Bell.
VW, whose game day spots by Deutsh LA have consistently featured in Campaign's viral charts since 2011, was the most-shared of the Super Bowl ads in this week's chart, ranking third overall.
Microsoft's Internet Explorer takes the top crown again with their in-house ad, "child of the 90s," which features in the chart for a second week.
In second place, TNT launches a follow-up to its "a dramatic surprise on a quiet square" spot from April 2012 with an ad called "a dramatic surprise on a cold day".
The work uses hidden cameras to capture unsuspecting members of the public who have been thrown into a drama and has been shared more than 150,000 times in the past seven days.

The chart, produced in conjunction with Unruly, ranks ads according to the number of times they have been shared on Facebook, Twitter and the blogosphere.

(Adds comment from Sensa, L'Occitane) By Diane Bartz WASHINGTON, Jan 7 (Reuters) - Americans putting their faith in miracle cures to shed unwanted pounds are likely to be disappointed, U.S. regulators said on Tuesday in announcing settlements with four firms accused of falsely advertising weight-loss products such as skin creams. The Federal Trade Commission won agreements from L'Occitane, Inc.; Sensa Products LLC; HCG Diet Direct LLC; and LeanSpa LLC. The settlements required them to drop unsubstantiated claims from their ads and, in some cases, return money to consumers. The FTC also urged media outlets to scrutinize advertisements more carefully to avoid publishing potentially misleading ads, noting that some of the advertisements for the products - from food supplements to skin creams - appeared in mainstream publications. The commission provided guidance for publishers and broadcasters on how to screen weight-loss claims in advertisements. The FTC's action, codenamed "Operation Failed Resolution," was timed to coincide with the vows to lose weight so often made, and quickly abandoned, in January. Jessica Rich, director of the FTC's Bureau of Consumer Protection, warned that the only slim element of the products is their chance of success. "Resolutions to lose weight are easy to make but hard to keep. And the chances of being successful just by sprinkling something on your food, rubbing cream on your thighs, or using a supplement are slim to none," Rich said. One agreement was with Sensa, which said that its powder sprinkled on food would cause weight loss and peddled it on television infomercials, magazine advertisements and online ads. The company said the powder "is clinically proven to cause substantial weight loss without dieting or exercise, averaging 30 pounds in six months," the FTC said in a court filing. In contrast, a study of the product by a Sensa company executive found that users lost an average of 5.6 pounds over six months, the FTC said in its court filing. A one-month supply of Sensa's powder cost $59.00, plus shipping and handling, the FTC said. Sensa agreed to return $26.5 million to consumers, the commission said. Sensa said in a statement that the company had admitted no wrongdoing and that the FTC did not challenge the product's safety. "Sensa is incorporating changes to its advertising to comply with the FTC's consent order and continues to support the brand with new advertising and marketing materials," the company said. In a separate court filing, the FTC said L'Occitane sold two skin creams that promised "clinically proven slimming effectiveness" and would "visibly reduce the appearance of cellulite." L'Occitane agreed to pay $450,000 to reimburse customers. There was no evidence that the cream slimmed thighs or reduced cellulite, the FTC said. L'Occitane said it had cooperated fully with the commission, and had implemented "even more rigorous policies and procedures that will guide future clinical testing and ensure that our marketing and advertising comply with FTC regulations and guidelines." A third company, HCG Diet Direct, sold liquid drops that it said contained a hormone produced by human placenta that would help people lose weight. Under a settlement, the company agreed to an order requiring it to pay $3.2 million. The judgment was suspended because the company could not pay it. The FTC also reached a settlement with LeanSpa, which had used fake news websites to advertise the acai berry as a weight-loss miracle product until the company was shut down by the FTC and Connecticut attorney general's office in 2011. Boris Mizhen, a LeanSpa executive, will surrender $7 million in cash and property while his wife, who did not participate in the scheme, will surrender $300,000. Attempts to reach the other two companies by telephone, email or by Twitter were not successful. (Reporting by Diane Bartz, editing by Ros Krasny, Amanda Kwan and Andrew Hay)

Truth behind Gospel of Judas revealed in ancient inks
A long-lost gospel that casts Judas as a co-conspirator of Jesus, rather than a betrayer, was ruled most likely authentic in 2006. Now, scientists reveal they couldn't have made the call without a series of far more mundane documents, including Ancient Egyptian marriage licenses and property contracts.
The Gospel of Judas is a fragmented Coptic (Egyptian)-language text that portrays Judas in a far more sympathetic light than did the gospels that made it into the Bible. In this version of the story, Judas turns Jesus over to the authorities for execution upon Jesus' request, as part of a plan to release his spirit from his body. In the accepted biblical version of the tale, Judas betrays Jesus for 30 pieces of silver.
As part of a 2006 National Geographic Society (the Society) investigation of the document, microscopist Joseph Barabe of McCrone Associates in Illinois and a team of researchers analyzed the ink on the tattered gospel to find out if it was real or forged. Some of the chemicals in the ink raised red flags — until Barabe and his colleagues found, at the Louvre Museum, a study of Egyptian documents from the third century A.D., the same time period of the Gospal of Judas....

A Greener Approach to Urban Obesity. ~ Ann Halsig
Just because it tastes good doesn't mean it's good for you.
ŌĆ£TheyŌĆÖre rescue iguanas,ŌĆØ Rhonda said as we looked into her massive terrarium.
Rhonda had lived down the street from me for years, but weŌĆÖd only just started hanging out. We had loads in common, but our strongest bond was our love of animals.
ŌĆ£Their owners fed them crickets. Because itŌĆÖs easier. But theyŌĆÖre not supposed to have that much protein.ŌĆØ
The two iguanas had gotten their color back in force and were full of life. The only remaining sign of the neglect was that one had lost his jaw. Aptly named ŌĆÖNocchio (as in, short for Pinocchio), the copious amounts of protein heŌĆÖd ingested at the hands of his lazy previous owner, coupled with a diet devoid of calcium, had broken down the fragile cartilage in his jaw, and there it went.
Many years later, living in the Philippines, a neighbor called me downstairs.
ŌĆ£Ayo! Come see this, Ann!ŌĆØ
As I came outside, she didnŌĆÖt hesitate for a second to plop a weeks-old kitten into my hands.
My. Heart. Melted.
She disappeared into the house, returning with the tiniest little bowl of milk, which she placed in my other hand.
Earthquake, as he would later be named, owing to the earthquake that preceded his arrival, lapped it up greedily. CowŌĆÖs milk.
While this isnŌĆÖt surprising in the leastŌĆöeverybody knows cats love milkŌĆöit should be. Cats are, by and large, lactose intolerant. And why shouldnŌĆÖt they be?
ThatŌĆÖs the formula intended for an 80┬Āpound infant with four individual digestive compartments. Not kittens.
I relay these two anecdotes because I think we need to be honest about what weŌĆöand more importantly, childrenŌĆöare faced with when it comes to dietary decisions.
ŌĆÖNocchio ostensibly wasnŌĆÖt a meat-eater, but he ate those crickets. Earthquake ostensibly wasnŌĆÖt a calf, but he drank that milk. To be fair, neither animal had much of a choice. ŌĆÖNocchio was penned up in a terrarium. Earthquake was literally starving to death when he found us. But many well-fed cats will drink milk if itŌĆÖs offered to themŌĆ"because it tastes good.
As humans, weŌĆÖve got more than few more obstacles to overcome in the world of food.
1. Lack of time.
LetŌĆÖs say youŌĆÖre the parent of two kidsŌĆöone in elementary and the other in junior high school. You have a full-time job, and the drive to work takes you 30 minutes. Both kids need rides to school in the morning to start at 8:30, while you start work at 9:00. LetŌĆÖs say youŌĆÖre lucky enough for them to get a ride home with your partner, and youŌĆÖre lucky enough to work a 40-hour workweek. Hard enough to find time to shop weekly for whole foods, not to mention prepare three meals a day, but you make it work.
Now letŌĆÖs say youŌĆÖre a single parent. You have two part-time jobs on opposite ends of town. YouŌĆÖve got three kidsŌĆöone in preschool, one in elementary, and one in junior high, all who need rides to school. This is a juggling act that warrants respect and admirationŌĆ"can one be blamed for relying on take-out and frozen pizzas a few times a week?
2. Food deserts.
Food deserts are, by definition, areas in the developed world where healthy food is difficult at best to get your hands on. Miles from a grocery store, poor or nonexistent public transport, and many or most canŌĆÖt afford a car. Bet you can find a McDonaldŌĆÖs though.
TheyŌĆÖre popping up everywhere. You want to see something scary? Check out the USDAŌĆÖs Food Desert Locater Map here.
What if youŌĆÖre the single parent in the second scenario above, and you live in a food desert?
3. Media.
ThereŌĆÖs no denying that weŌĆöand our childrenŌĆöare faced with the mediaŌĆÖs unrelenting efforts to garner our attention. Even if we swore all of it offŌĆöTV, films, the InternetŌĆöit would miss the point. We canŌĆöand should absolutely be able to monitor our own intake of media. Even if we did go without, weŌĆÖd still be bombarded by the billboards. WeŌĆÖd still know the jingles.
StillŌĆöand again, this is particularly true for kidsŌĆöimages of processed, fast foods are everywhere, and theyŌĆÖre constant. This is what food looks like, they say, and for kids in socioeconomically disadvantaged food deserts, itŌĆÖs all thatŌĆÖs on offer.
4. Food as drug.
Three ingredients: sugar, salt, fat. This was well-documented in the seminal 2004 film Supersize Me, but it can be seen everywhereŌĆöeven in foods that arenŌĆÖt ŌĆ£badŌĆØ in moderation. Want to nail that homemade chocolate chip cookie recipe? Add a teensy bit more salt. Pineapple on your pizza, anybody?
But the baddies have this magical formula down-pat. And theyŌĆÖve added a substantial serving of refined carbohydrates to the mix. The less ŌĆ£wholeŌĆØ a food is, the less it fills us up for the longer term. This isnŌĆÖt rocket scienceŌĆöeven if we feel full after a meal of sugar-salt-fat-refined carbs, our bodies arenŌĆÖt satisfied. The combination of no nutrients and no fiber will have us eating more, sooner.
This writer realizes that everybodyŌĆÖs responsible for the things they put in their mouths (although children might arguably be left out of that equation), but I also see a world in which making healthy choices about food seems increasingly impossible.
It used to be generally acceptable for overweight people to have any number of judgments laid upon them, but the United States is now fully a third obese. Fewer and fewer fingers have any business doing the pointing.
So whatŌĆÖs to be done? A lot. So much, itŌĆÖs hard to know where to start, but IŌĆÖd proffer that the best place would be Detroit, Michigan.
Most U.S. Americans paying any attention know the story: Big auto business left Detroit and took thousands of jobs along with it. Those who could move out and start over did; many could not. As unemployment skyrocketed, consumption plummeted, and as the years passed, ever more empty storefronts dotted the neglected landscape. But the story didnŌĆÖt end there. DetroitŌĆÖs citizens took matters into their own hands, and at the heart of the takeover were concentrated community efforts to implement urban agriculture programs. ItŌĆÖs been covered everywhere from CNN to The Huffington Post.
Maybe IŌĆÖve got tunnel vision, but my experience of urban agriculture has been that it tackles every single one of the problems IŌĆÖve mentioned.
Here's how:
1. Lack of time.
Work in many community gardens is split between people. Major organizers can even make a livelihood out of the garden, particularly if enough food is being grown to sell. This doesnŌĆÖt have to be heavy laborŌĆöitŌĆÖs vegetable gardening, and that can range from small plots of land to complex enterprises. Yes, hands get dirty, but kids like that, and are often keen to get involved. ThatŌĆÖs a lot of weeding and watering the grown-ups donŌĆÖt have to do alone!
2. Food deserts.
This one sort of speaks for itselfŌĆöurban food deserts are prime real estate for urban vegetable gardens. It isnŌĆÖt free, but in the longer term, the cost of tools, soil and raised beds is far less than the health costs associated with poor eating, or even the cost of those processed foods alone!
3. Media.
At the risk of stating the obvious, what better way to get away from the constant drone of the media than donning a pair of gloves and digging in the dirt? Not to mention, a bit of re-education is in order, after all the afore-mentioned drivel the corporations have shoved down our throats: No, this is what food looks like, thank you very much.
4. Food as drug.
Anyone IŌĆÖve ever met, no matter their age, nationality, gender or faith, who has grown their own food knows the magic it brings to the plate.┬ĀWhether you love her or hate her, this is a big part of what Mrs. ObamaŌĆÖs all about, and I think sheŌĆÖs onto something. Reconnecting to whole foods means one must at least consider the origins of whatever one eats, and thatŌĆÖs a great starting place, indeed.
Perhaps itŌĆÖs oversimplified, but big problems often have simpleŌĆöif at once also difficultŌĆösolutions.
Detroit is by no means alone: my partner has worked in urban agriculture programs from the U.K. to the Philippines, and new programs are popping up around the world.
The way the U.S. is eating is unsustainable on many, many levels, and a painfully visible manifestation of this is widespread obesity. If it ever was, this is no longer a personal problem affecting the few. It deserves a community solution empowering the masses.

I am planning my trip to Mexico (and maybe Guatemala and Belize) at the moment and someone suggested a Geckos tour so I can save time (I only have about 3 weeks). I'm just not sure which tour will be worth my while. I don't want to cram too much into the 3 weeks and miss out on properly seeing a country. Any advice would greatly greatly grealy appreciated!

http://www.geckosadventures.com/south-america-central-america/mexico/holy-guacamole-2014 (15 days, Mexico only)
http://www.intrepidtravel.com/mexico/explore-mexico-guatemala-71683 (13 days, Mexico and Guatemala).
I could add a couple of days on my own in either Mexico or Guatemala with the 13 or 15 day tour.
Thank you for your help!
Help planning Mexico and/or Guatemala trip, please!

hi there-we just returned from Peace Corps service in Mexico and I think the pace of the Mexico only gecko suits your desire best to not be too rushed:
http://www.geckosadventures.com/south-america-central-america/mexico/holy-guacamole-2014 (15 days, Mexico only)
I like this better than the intrepid travel one since this one avoids Cancun and goes to Playa del Carmen instead which I think is nicer. And since it is 15 days you could either add a few days on to Mexico City and really have time to visit Teotihuacan ruins which they only give as an free afternoon option on the tour. Ireally think that needs a full day. Or you could hop a bus to Queretaro or San Miguel de Allende or Guanajuato which are all about 2-3 hours from Mexico City and are all lovely Colonial cities. SM is pretty gringo-fied but nice and Queretaro is a big city with a Costco on the outskirts, etc. but has a lovely center of town which is the place to stay and Guanajuato is a smaller university and Mexican tourist town with tunnels and hills-an old silver mining town and home to largest cultural festival in latin america in October called the Cervantino. Or you could stick the extra days on the end and leave Playa del Carmen to go down to Akumal or Tulum to get to nicer beaches and then fly back to the US from Cancun.
My choice would also depend on whether you have already been to Mexico before-the 15 day tour offers a nice selection of places-the only "glaring" part missing IMO really is the colonial center towns I mentioned above.
The other tours seem kind of rushed to me. -

Thank you so much for your advice, jpie. Much appreciated! I will go ahead with the Mexico only trip. I can always cover the rest of Central America later when I have more time. Thanks again.

Fiji will soon sign a Memorandum Of Understanding (MOU) with Barefoot College in Rajasthan, India to train more locals in the field of engineering and science. Prime Minister, Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama revealed this while welcoming Fiji's first solar engineers who graduated from the College after six months of training.
"This partnership has taken to another level and a MOU is expected to be signed between Fiji and Barefoot College in starting two new projects for women in Fiji," he said.

The reason for the enhanced transparency is twofold. Improved access is a driving factor. The discipline information that will be available online, which includes any public decision by the complaints investigation committee or a hearing panel, is already published on CanLII and available in files at the Prothonotary, but the details may be difficult for people to dig up.
The new standard, says NSBS executive director Darrel Pink, "allows a member of the public to know easily about a lawyer's disciplinary history." That ease of access, he adds, is expected today by the public.
"The modern legal regulator ensures as much as possible key aspects of regulation are available to the public," he says.
The new standard, which does not include publication of staff letters of advice, CIC counsels, or cautions, is also part of a national effort by law societies to put in place the Federation of Law Societies of Canada's national discipline standards. Those standards are intended to create greater consistency with regard to complaints handling across the country. Such uniformity is important, says Pink.
"The public ought to expect legal regulators to behave in ways that are consistent."
Nova Scotia, considered a leader in this area, has now put in place all the new standards. Standard No. 19, online access to the discipline histories of members, was the last to be implemented. At least one other law society, Ontario, has already put this standard into practice.
Lawyers have been well informed about the change. In addition to circulating a general notice to the membership, the society has written to each individual lawyer whose online membership record will be amended to confirm the information that will be included on the website.
Pink doesn't feel lawyers will be concerned by the easier access to disciplinary information, which has been available on CanLII since 1993. "I would hope lawyers would say this is in the public interest," he says.

Titan of the legal community, Eddie Greenspan, dead at 70
Written by Gail J. Cohen Wednesday, 24 December 2014Eddie Greenspan 1944-2014 (Photo: Law Times archives) |
"It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our senior partner, friend and father Eddie Greenspan," his law firm Greenspan Partners announced on Twitter this morning.
Some of his most famous clients include Conrad Black, with whom the relationship was not 100-per-cent amicable, Garth Drabinsky, Robert Latimer, Karlheinz Schreiber, and members of the NBA's Milwaukee Bucks.
He has been a mentor, teacher, and inspiration to lawyers in Canada for decades and has received numerous accolades from the profession including a number of honourary doctor of laws as well as the Law Society Medial in 2013, the Advocates' Society Medal in 2009, and the G. Arthur Medal in 2001. His is also a long-time editor of Canada Law Book's Martin's Criminal Code.
Upon receiving the Law Society Medal, Greenspan said this of his life as a lawyer:
The idea of the lawyer – the classical, central idea — that is — of the lawyer battling in the criminal courts – corresponds to a universal trait in the human family. I was irresistibly attracted to the lawyer's role in that ultimate sense. I am happy in the role. It permits me to be both cynic and idealist. As a criminal lawyer, I have come to learn that things are seldom what they seem. No frailty surprises the criminal lawyer. Indeed, surprise is reserved for occasional confrontations of virtue. Nothing gives the criminal lawyer more pleasure and satisfaction than to win a difficult case against the pressure of inflamed opinion, vindicating the stirring principles of the legal tradition against all odds. Criminal lawyers have the blood of Don Quixote in their veins. Criminal lawyers demonstrate that an honourable lawyer can have an exciting life representing persons accused of crime.
Greenspan earned his LLB at Osgoode Hall Law School in 1968 and was called to the bar of Ontario in 1970 and Alberta in 1987. He was named Queen's Counsel in 1982
His memorial will be held Dec. 28 at Benjamin's Park Memorial Chapel in Toronto. More details to come.
Reaction from the legal community and beyond poured in on Twitter.
Updated 12:45: More details added.
In 2013, the Law Society of Upper Canada spent over $340,000 on costs associated with call to the bar ceremonies. As the number of candidates eligible for call to the bar increases every year, the law society has had to increase the number of call to the bar ceremonies at an additional cost. A fourth ceremony planned in Toronto for June 2015 comes at an estimated cost of at least $42,000. Here's the prediction on the number of candidates who will be eligible for call to the bar in the coming years.

Magnotta was also found guilty of committing an indignity to a human body, publishing and mailing obscene material, and criminally harassing Prime Minister Stephen Harper and other members of Parliament.
The prosecution had argued that Magnotta was "a man on a mission" and had carefully planned his acts.
The verdict came on the 8th day of jury deliberations.
Magnotta, standing in a glassed-in, high-security prisoner's dock, showed no emotion and only lowered his eyes as the verdicts on each of the five charges were read out.
A first-degree murder conviction carries an automatic life sentence with no possibility of parole for 25 years.
Quebec Superior Court Justice Guy Cournoyer, told the court the case "was by all standards unique" and praised the jury.
"We have asked a lot of you but you rose to the occasion and indeed proved that real and substantive justice is a reality," he said.
The victim's father, Diran Lin, traveled from China to attend the trial. A lawyer representing him read the father's statement to the court after the verdict.
"The night Lin Jun died, parts of many other people died in one way or another. His mother, his sister and me, his friends . . . in one night, we lost a lifetime of hope," the statement said.
"I had come to see your trial system to see justice done, and I leave satisfied that you have not let my son down."
"We're not really surprised with the verdicts," Crown prosecutor Louis Bouthillier said outside the courthouse after the verdict. "We were expecting it and we're very happy."
"It's always a great feeling for a Crown prosecutor to hear the word 'guilty' come out of the mouth of a juror at the end of a trial," Bouthillier said. "We're all very happy, the police officers and I."
Describing the case as having "very difficult legal issues," he went on to "salute" the jury for all their work.
The jury had been shown a video of Magnotta's acts that he had posted online.
The prosecution said that six months before the killing, Magnotta had e-mailed a British journalist to say he planned to kill a human and make a movie of it.
"We had good evidence of premeditation and that the crime was planned and deliberate," said Bouthillier. "There was never any doubt in my mind that the jury would find Mr. Magnotta guilty of first-degree murder."
The jury heard that Magnotta, a gay escort, had sought psychiatric help about a month before Lin's death. Magnotta's father, who testified at the trial, also has a medical history of schizophrenia.
The case gripped Canada in the spring of 2012 after Lin's body parts were found in the trash behind a Montreal apartment building and in packages mailed to political parties in Ottawa and to schools in Vancouver.
The mailed packages contained hands and feet wrapped in pink tissue paper as well as notes and poems.
Magnotta fled to Europe after the killing and was arrested in a Berlin Internet cafe, where he was reading about himself.
Man loses articling position over past behaviour
Written by Jennifer Brown Tuesday, 23 December 2014For six years, Todd Speck worked as a program analyst for the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care. He took an educational leave of absence from September 2008 to May 2010 to get his law degree. He continued to work for MOH.
On Feb. 19, 2013, Speck was informed he was being suspended with pay pending an investigation against him under the Workplace Discrimination and Harassment Policy and Workplace Violence Prevention Policy.
While under the non-disciplinary suspension from MOH, Speck got an articling job with MAG, to serve at the Financial Services Commission of Ontario. A temporary assignment agreement was concluded between MAG, as the receiving ministry, MOH, as the releasing ministry, and Speck in July and August 2013 so Speck could work as an articling student.
On July 29, 2013, Speck started working at FSCO as an articling student and his disciplinary suspension ended. He was alerted to the potential jeopardy to his articling student position as a consequence of the MOH investigation in to his alleged misconduct.
The period of the secondment to MAG/FSCO was from July 29, 2013 until May 30, 2014, to allow Speck to complete his articles. During this period, he was to be under a fixed-term contract. He signed a fresh Conflict of Interest Attestation, completed a fresh Oath of Office and a fresh Oath of Allegiance. That done, his articles officially began July 29, 2013, for 10 months.
While working for MAG at FSCO Speck was subject to the collective agreement between Association of Law Officers of the Crown and the province. Article 5.1 gave just case protection to him. He could be fired only "for just and sufficient cause."
On Feb. 3, 2014, Speck was advised in writing by MOH that it had completed its investigations determined that he had breached the WDHP policy in various ways. MOH informed him it had concluded his conduct had given just cause for his dismissal and that he was being fired for cause. He was told that he ceased to be employed by the Crown.
At issue in the arbitration was: assuming, for the purposes of the argument, that MOH had just cause to terminate Speck's employment, is that sufficient by itself to satisfy both the just cause provisions of the ALOC collective agreement and the requirements for articles of the Law Society of Upper Canada?
ALOC, supported by the Association of Management, Administrative and Professional Crown Employees of Ontario, argued it was not sufficient; the Crown argued it was.
In the decision, arbitrator Christopher Albertyn stated: "There is no suggestion that Mr. Speck engaged in any culpable conduct as an articled student to give his principal or FSCO or MAG just cause to terminate his articles. It is common cause that his articles were terminated only because his employment with the Crown was terminated by MOH. In fact, Mr. Speck was given unqualified letters of commendation for his work as an articling student by his principal and other lawyers he worked for.
However, Albertyn concluded: "Accordingly, on the assumption of just cause for the termination at MOH, that is sufficient to satisfy the just cause provisions of the ALOC collective agreement."
Albertyn said he rejected the suggestion Speck's conduct at MOH is akin to off-duty conduct with respect to his employment at MAG.
"MOH and MAG are sections of a single employer. His conduct in one section is directly relevant and germane to his conduct in the other. That is why, under s. 40 of the Act, if there is just cause to dismiss a public servant in any section, in any ministry, the individual is dismissed from the Crown."

Let's hear it for the boys!
Ashton Kutcher's not letting those pesky divorce rumors get him down. The 33-year-old partied with his former That '70s Show costars Danny Masterson and Wilmer Valderrama on Tuesday night at a party for Warby Parker eyewear in L.A. (Kutcher was a guest of Warby Parker's co-founders Dave Gilboa and Neil Blumenthal.)
PHOTOS: Ashton and Demi in happier times
The Two and a Half Men star tweeted several photos of himself and his "boys," while Masterson, 35, wrote that it was an "epic night."
Meanwhile, Demi Moore, 48, implied via Twitter that she was at home watching Zooey Deschanel's New Girl. "I was with [the new episode] and loved it!" she wrote. "Happy to see Lake Bell [on the show], too!"
VIDEO: Ashton's one-night-stand tells Us about her sexual encounter
Although Kutcher appeared to be his usual happy self Tuesday, he was somber and subdued at the GQ Gentleman's Ball in NYC one week ago. After the event, he and his spiritual mentor Rabbi Philip Berg encountered radio personality Craig Schwartz, a.k.a.. "Radio Man," as they waited for their car outside the ballroom.
Schwartz lightly broached the topic of Kutcher's marital woes, and whether he was with okay with "everything that's going on."
His reply: "Yeah. Yes. I am doing OK, thanks. Thank you for caring. Thank you for caring, really. It means a lot."

Friday 5 June 1998
Clare Short is right - there is more to the Third World than famine
It was a good question and not one that I could easily answer. In fact, I find it difficult to explain to my children the vast inequalities they see all round them. "Why is that man sleeping outside?" "Where does he brush his teeth?" "Why is that old lady looking in dustbins?".
I can't explain it to them because I can't explain to myself, and when images of starving children appear on TV, I often turn away. This is not because I am so sensitive, or have seen too many to care any more, or suffer from that new complaint "compassion fatigue". I find them simply overwhelming, the misery so vast and yet so outside my own experience, that I feel powerless.
Something must be done, but what exactly? Putting a tenner in an envelope seems a futile gesture when famine comes around year after year. Obviously not everyone has the same reaction. Images of hunger spur on all kinds of ordinary people to get something done, to try to help, to reach out to those they will never meet, to feel a common human bond. This is laudable and is why Clare Short's remarks over the appeals for aid in the Sudan have been seen as controversial: callous even. She doesn't care about starving children, whereas others do. Now even caring is competitive: whose hearts bleed more? Clare Short's? Unicef's? The single mother's who pledges what she can ill afford?
Yet the points that Short has made are worth making. Her argument is a complicated one which is seen as somehow tricksy in the emotional context of starving babies.
She is concerned in general at the portrayal of developing countries as full of "constant suffering, failure and famine", as always in crisis. She has also been critical of the "mutual parasitism of the media and the fund-raiser" as this can lead to terrible pessimism about the possibility of progress.
None of these arguments are especially new. There has been for some time, especially among the more politicised non-governmental organisations in the development field a growing awareness that images of skeletal Africans feed into a stereotype of passivity and powerlessness. Victimhood may rule in the West, but isn't it better in this case to show how people might lift themselves out of it? Television itself devours such imagery, sometimes provoking a response such as Live Aid, sometimes provoking the cynical stories we hear of camera crews rejecting certain children because they are not thin enough to film.
As Short points out, we actually spend fewer TV hours than we did 10 years ago focusing on the developing world, so that the images we see tend to be ones of acute crisis. This is what Jonathan Dimbleby has called "the media's preoccupation with the horror of mass starvation".
Certainly, as someone who grew up with pictures of Biafra and Ethiopia, I did not recognise malnutrition when it was in front of my eyes because it did not look the way it was supposed to.
When I travelled around the mountains of Bolivia, the children never cried and were not that thin. Everyone always seemed to be eating, though the food had no goodness in it. Girls of 18 looked as though they were 35 and breast-fed their four-year-olds because it kept them quiet. It was only when I asked what the tiny clay pots were in every market that I began to realise something of what was going on. They were to bury alongside the babies so that would have enough food in the next life.
This wasn't "famine". Indeed, what is going on in Sudan is not classified as famine.
There are measures for this kind of thing, apparently. Basically, Short's message is that throwing money at the problem, however well intended, is not enough. The civil war has meant that the underlying difficulty is not one of resources but of access. This is debatable. Some will argue that not enough money has been promised in the first place. Short is taking a long- term view here and one that also makes it difficult for people to know how to respond.
If the problem is the civil war, then what are we, the citizens of Britain, to do about it? Leave it entirely in the hands of the Government to put political pressure on far-away regimes? This is so abstract compared to the short-term solution of giving money.
However, we need to understand Short's starting point, and again this is not a new one.
While it is easy to be overwhelmed by mass poverty we do in fact know how to reduce it. We know what works. Investment in health and education, particularly in the education of women, helps lift people out of abject poverty. We already know about fair trade, human rights and debt relief. We know that sustainability is not some ecological mumbo-jumbo, but the only way forward for economies of the South to grow. Yet we are dogged by pessimism, a sense that problems will always be there because they have always been there. Short's recent interventions have been a way of trying to inject some optimism into the whole process, of saying, "Let's generate the political will to do what needs doing".
Short is known for saying sometimes what she should not say and sometimes for saying what has to be said. To talk politics in the face of dying babies may have backfired, but surely her job as a politician is to look at the big picture, not just react to the horrific pictures in a tabloid newspaper?
The debate is really one about what can spur political change.
How do we create the political will to reduce absolute poverty? We can respond when it is already too late and pat ourselves on the back for our humanitarian efforts, or we can try to understand the causes of poverty.
Of course, people who work in the field do both. Reporters report, aid agencies run feeding centres, politicians make speeches, and the public remains bewildered even as it weeps over the six o'clock news at so much sorrow.
Short's appeal is simply that we focus a little more on the success stories of development, of those who with great dignity are able to change their lives.
Giving is often the easiest thing to do. Engaging our heads as well as our hearts may be too much to ask. After all, feeling is a lot more fashionable than thinking these days.
But we must ask ourselves some hard questions - otherwise we too become victims of incomprehensible political machinations, in danger of accepting the massive inequalities of the way in which the world is run.
And that truly is a hopeless situation.

NYC mayor rejects control proposal of 9/11 memorial
Says control of the site should remain with foundation to keep site out of 'the political process'
By Associated Press
NEW YORK — New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has rejected the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey's efforts to have a greater say over the 9/11 memorial.
The mayor said Monday control should remain with the National September 11 Memorial & Museum foundation to keep the site out of "the political process."
The mayor chairs the foundation. The Port Authority, controlled by the two state governors, owns the trade center site. The two sides have been feuding since last year, stalling the 9/11 museum's completion.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's spokesman told the Wall Street Journal ( http://on.wsj.com/M3E9jz) the museum shouldn't be politicized. But he added that the mayor and the governors are political officials.
A spokesman for New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said no one was interested in politicizing anything.

It is a decade since the council decided to fly the flag only on designated days on civic buildings in Portadown and Lurgan.
But on Monday evening, members met to discuss the flag policy and a motion was passed which will see the ten year old decision reviewed.
The motion was put forward by the DUP, and the party's MLA Stephen Moutray said previously "we did not have an understanding that Unionist family would come forward to support the motion".
Mr Moutray defended claims that all councillors had accepted the policy without complaint.
"Our party voted to oppose what was done ten years ago," he explained. "We have brought this back to the democratic forum, and that is the place to discuss it."
He said the decision to review Craigavon's flag policy was "in no way related" to the recent disorder in Belfast and added, "There have been several protests in the Craigavon and I would ask those who protest to do so in a peaceful manner."
The Alliance Party's Conrad Dixon said should the policy change, it would be "rewarding those who have engaged in violence and intimidation".
This will not only destroy good will among local communities, but has rewarded those determined to drag our society back into sectarian trenches.Cllr Conrad Dixon
This will not only destroy good will among local communities, but has rewarded those determined to drag our society back into sectarian trenches.
Cllr Conrad Dixon
"I would question the political motives behind the decision of my DUP colleagues in bringing this motion to the Council," added Cllr Dixon.
Sinn Féin councillor Johnny McGibbon said the upcoming review must be an honest one.
"For the past 10 years, since 2002, Craigavon Council has operated a designated days policy agreed by all parties, and a genuine review could conceivably propose the removal of all flags from public buildings," he explained.
"The DUP are raising this issue in response to death threats against and attacks on elected representatives, attacks, including a murder attempt, on the police, and illegal protests and the blocking of roads. In reality they are providing weak leadership," he added.
The motion follows a decision taken in December by Belfast City Council to limit the number of days when the Union flag is flown from council-owned buildings from 365 days to 18.
Despite opposition from unionist councillors, the SDLP and Alliance Party voted for the reduction.
Violence sparked across Northern Ireland, including five consecutive nights of disorder in east Belfast this month.
A number of police officers have been injured during the disorder, and elected representatives, including Alliance MP and, most recently, SDLP MLA Patsy McGlone have been the subject of threats and attacks.
