I missed a couple days again. But I got a project almost done today in the greenhouse that I have been wanting to do for a while. I put three growing towers up, I need to get the forth one done soon. I also put a couple 30 gallon barrels full of water in the green house, I will let this water sit for a while and will be using it for make up water. I also hope that all that water will help keep that temperature up at night. It was 89 F degrees in there today, and only about 58 F degrees outside.

Archive/File: people/m/mcvay.ken/zundel/zundel-and-interactivity Last-Modified: 1997/04/20 Public Statement regarding Ernst Zundel and InterNet Interactivity By Kenneth McVay, OBC. The following statement will be posted to the world-wide web on Friday, April 19, 1997, as URL http://www.nizkor.org/hweb/people/m/mcvay-ken/zundel/zundel-and-interactivity.html: 1. I am the Founder and Director of The Nizkor Project, an electronic Holocaust educational resource dedicated to the refutation of Holocaust denial, and to providing Holocaust educational resources on the Internet ("the Net"). 2. Barbara Kulaszka, a lawyer acting for Ernst Zundel, requested my assistance through electronic mail ("Email"): Date sent: Sun, 02 Feb 1997 15:04:38 -0500 From: Barbara KulaszkaTo: email@example.com Subject: Zundel Dear Mr. McVay, My name is Barbara Kulaszka. I am one of Ernst Zundel's lawyers. As you probably know, two complaints have been laid against Mr. Zundel under the Canadian Human Rights Act alleging that he is sending out hate messages on the Internet. We have commenced an application for judicial review of the decision of the Commission to send the matter to a Human Rights Tribunal. One of the grounds of this application is a constitutional challenge to section 13 of the Act ("hate messages") on the basis that the Internet is a medium which is interactive and participatory and allows for falsehood to be rebutted easily and effectively. Could you provide us with an affidavit in support of this application? Your affidavit would set out who you are, what work you have undertaken with Nizkor, your relations with the Zundelsite, and your experience in using the Internet to refute what you believe are falsehoods, etc. The purpose of the affidavit? To show the court that the best way to fight ideas is with other ideas, not with censorship or jail. Would you be willing to give such an affidavit? Do you believe that section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act is unconstitutional as a violation of freedom of speech on the Internet? You must truly believe this first or you cannot really give us an affidavit. Secondly, you must be able to give us an affidavit that provides the court with the information it needs to make this determination and the reasons why the section should be found unconstitutional. Could you let me know if you are willing to do so? You can contact me be e-mail or by telephone at 613-475-3150. If I/m not in just leave a message and a number where I can reach you. Yours truly, Barbara Kulaszka 3. I agreed to respond, but found I could not support the premise that "...the Internet is a medium which is interactive and participatory and allows for falsehood to be rebutted easily and effectively..." It is misleading and, in the context of Mr. Zundel's work on the net, false. 4. In my capacity as the Director of the Nizkor Project, I have repeatedly tried to engage Ernst Zundel in interactive discourse, either directly, or through the "Zundelsite." I am an active technical participant on the Internet, and have participated in other computer networks since 1983. My experience demonstrates how "interactive" and "participatory" the net has proven to be for the Zundel site over the past two years, and how "easily and effectively" rebuttals have taken place. A. THE INTERNET AS A PUBLIC "MEDIUM" 5. The Internet is a global network of networks, connecting tens of millions of computers and people. Like any computer network, the net has a variety of means of allowing its computers and users to communicate. 6. The three most common means for people to communicate on the net are through Email, Usenet, and the world-wide Web. 7. Email is generally considered a private communications medium where messages are normally sent between individuals with specific electronic addresses. "Mailing Lists," akin to uni- or bidirectional distribution lists, are a popular exception to this general rule, but uni-directional distribution is not interactive, and cannot be readily addressed, even by those within the distribution channel. To my knowledge, Mr. Zundel does not participate in any bidirectional Mailing Lists, which do offer interactivity, albeit limited to a narrow distribution set. As Email is not generally available for public scrutiny, we will not consider it with respect to claims of interactivity. 8. Usenet is a means by which people around the world can communicate publicly. On Usenet, forums called "newsgroups" categorize discussion into different topics; for example, because Holocaust-denial is commonly known as "revisionism," the newsgroup for that topic is called alt.revisionism. There are thousands of newsgroups. Reading Usenet news, commonly known as "reading news," is done by purchasing access to a specialized computer known as a news server. News access is almost always bundled without cost, as part of net access. Millions of people around the world, on all seven continents, read news on thousands of different news servers. 9. Messages posted to a newsgroup travel from news server to news server, spreading throughout the world. Typically, within a few hours of posting a news "article," as they are called, that article will be available on the majority of news servers around the world; within a few days, it will be on all of them. Anyone reading that newsgroup will see all new articles each time he or she accesses the group. 10. Publishing information to Usenet is very easy, primarily because it is done with the same software which one uses to read news. If one is reading news and wishes to reply to an article, it typically takes about ten seconds (plus the time actually required to type the reply) before that article can be sent to the news server. One can speak of the "barriers to entry" of the marketplace of ideas as being minor. 11. The ease of answering to Usenet leads to discussion which is very open. Tens of thousands of discussions, from erudite to insipid, are taking place on Usenet at this, and every, moment, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Anyone with a connection to the net can participate. The topics may last hours or months. It is the closest thing that the world has ever seen to a "town meeting" on a global scale. 12. Furthermore, Usenet is archived. Two major services (Deja News and Alta Vista) provide free public access to "back issues" of Usenet news. Every word posted is, unless the author specifies otherwise, a matter of public record. This allows participants to avoid wondering what, exactly, was said; it can be read back from the archival transcripts at any time. 13. The world-wide web, commonly known as the "Web," is another means by which communication may take place publicly. The web is technically different from Usenet in that published material is not spread automatically from server to server. The material resides on one server, a web server, and is delivered from that machine to whoever requests it, when it is requested. 14. One major practical difference of the web is that publishing information is not nearly as rapid a process, it is far more difficult. Instead of being typed on-the-spot, web pages must all be composed in a format called HyperText Markup Language (HTML). This is a fairly complex process, since HTML is barely human-readable. Also, they must be uploaded to one's website, using different software from that used to view the web. The exact process of uploading and downloading differs from computer to computer, but is always more complex than posting to Usenet. 15. One must also link the newly-created webpage to the other pages on one's site, which means downloading, editing, and re-uploading a number, possibly a large number, of other pages. Finally, because an HTML file is barely human-readable, and because it often looks different when it is moved from one computer to another, the upload must be checked and proofread once all these steps are complete and the file is in its final location. If any errors are found, those files must be re-edited, re-uploaded, and re-checked. 16. From my experience, which includes the creation of nearly 3,000 HTML- coded documents, and that of my webmaster, Jamie McCarthy, (disregarding the time required to compose and type a file in the first place) the overhead to publish each file on the web is two orders of magnitude greater than Usenet. That is, approximately fifteen minutes, as opposed to a few seconds. This may vary somewhat from user to user, but experience suggests it is reasonably accurate. 17. This lengthy process is well-known as a factor which distinguishes the web from other forms of public communication on the net. Just recently, on March 19, 1997, the Communications Decency Act came before the United States Supreme Court; the Government argued that it would be acceptable to impose limitations on free speech on the net, allowing highest speech protection only for the web. The attorney for the ACLU et al. argued eloquently that the web was not "functionally equivalent" to Usenet and similar forums, because interactive dialogue was not to be found there. The ACLU argument can be found at URL http://www.aclu.org/issues/cyber/trial/sctran.html. 18. The distinction between the two forums was expressed more simply by David Thomas, the webmaster of the "Committee for Open Debate On the Holocaust" site - a "revisionist" site friendly with the Zundel site, who said: "A standard Web site is next to impossible to use for continuing dialogue, far too many delays and cumbersome procedures." A copy of Mr. Thomas' article will be found at URL http://www.nizkor.org/ftp.cgi?people/nyms/dthomas/1996/dthomas-on-web-discussion. 19. Another fundamental difference is that articles on the Web are not archived. Because a webpage says one thing one day, that does not mean it will say the same thing the next day. There is no authority to which one can turn that will provide a record of what was said when by whom. 20. Unless agreement is reached to not re-edit pages once uploaded, this makes discussion of complex subjects nearly impossible. Ernst Zundel has often mentioned "debate" on the web. What sort of "debate" allows people to revise what they have said, after the fact, perhaps without their opponent even being aware of the change? This is one certain method for avoiding public accountability, as interactivity is denied. 21. These differences are those of a discussion medium (Usenet) and a publishing medium (the Web). 22. It is important, too, to note another design limitation of the web. The concept of "hypertext" was developed in the 1960s by Ted Nelson. Nelson's vision was a worldwide information network called "Xanadu," which would link written material of all forms. An author would write about a given topic and add links to other materials which he found interesting. This vision had great influence on later hypertext systems, including the most successful, the world-wide web. 23. But the design for Xanadu called for these links to be bidirectional. Readers of an author's work could call up not only a list of links which that author recommended, but also a list of other works which linked to his work. Nelson's vision included a computerized network in which books or scientific articles would be published on-line, and readers could, with the push of a button, call up a list of criticisms of those works. 24. This was an important innovation. Because of this feature, the reader could rarely be "lost in the ideasphere"-- there would be few dead-ends in the network. Any work which was significant enough to be seen by more than a few readers would surely be reviewed or at least commented-upon by some of them, and those reviews would always be readily accessible. 25. For technical reasons, this feature was not built into the web. There is no automatic way, when reading a web page, to know what critiques of that page have been written elsewhere on the web. To learn of such critiques, the reader must rely on the Web-page's author to provide an accurate and periodically-updated list of such critiques. Mr. Zundel does not provide a reader with any of the available critiques. 26. Manually listing critiques in such a way works well when an author and his critics are interested in working together for a common cause, or at least respect each other. This ad-hoc replacement for Nelson's vision of bidirectional linking is an acceptable and working solution in, for example, an academic environment where a researcher will create links from his papers to his colleagues' rebuttals. In such an atmosphere, where there is a tradition of peer review, a strong commitment to open examination of and discourse regarding theories and facts, and a knowledgeable reader, one can generally trust that the author is not deliberately obscuring electronic rebuttals which would be inconvenient. 27. Doing so would be the equivalent of writing a paper which ignores the strongest arguments against its thesis, with the hope that the reader will not be aware of them. This is not done in scholarly circles, as the reader is likely to be knowledgeable enough to detect such omission, and because such academic dishonesty is frowned upon. 28. The failure to employ the Web's ad-hoc replacement for bidirectional linking in the case of Mr. Zundel and his colleagues has denied the very interactivity claimed. The quality of cooperation between author and critic - the joint effort towards the common cause of historical accuracy and understanding - is not present with regard to Mr. Zundel's Web site, or others espousing Holocaust denial. B. EXPERIENCES WITH THE ZUNDEL SITE 29. To my knowledge, Mr. Zundel himself has never appeared to use the net directly. Though he appears to have at least two email addresses (firstname.lastname@example.com, email@example.com), he is not known to post articles, upload web-pages, or write email on the net itself. Rather, he collaborates with a person in California by the name of Ingrid Rimland, apparently chiefly by fax and by telephone. 30. Ms. Rimland is webmaster of the "Zundel site." I assume that she has authority to speak for Mr. Zundel, since she literally does so every day in her publication of "Zundelgrams." These are email messages which are sent out to her mailing list, and from there to other mailing lists and Usenet, for a total readership of thousands, possibly tens of thousands. 31. The Zundel site's first appearance on the net, through Ms. Rimland, was in 1995. After a few preliminary postings, the Zundel site chose to "spam" the net with propaganda, first in August 1995, then again in October. This technique consists of sending a large number of copies of the same material to different newsgroups. Usenet is self-policing regarding technical transgressions such as this (wasting bandwidth) and all the copies of this propaganda were "canceled" and thus removed from the net. With the exception of this incident, the Zundel site has never had a presence on Usenet. 32. This absence is noteworthy. Why would one who asserts an abiding interest in debate and open discourse on these topics reject Usenet, which is, as we have seen, much better-suited to debate? Mr. Zundel refuses to participate in the chief forum on the net which actually justifies such labels. 33. I cannot meet Ms. Kulaszka's request for support regarding the claim that the Internet "allows for falsehood to be rebutted easily and effectively." While this claim is true in some cases, it is absolutely false with regard to her client's use of the net. The Zundel site has published many falsehoods, including outright and deliberate lies. The tactics used to spread these falsehoods, which conspicuously avoid any form of interactivity, have made rebuttal difficult in the extreme. 34. Falsehoods are published Ms. Kulaszka's client every day, in "Zundelgrams." The "Zgrams," as they are called, are an exercise in propagandizing; opponents do not have an opportunity to rebut or refute anything which may be said. 35. Examples of typical "Zundelgrams, " dated March 21, 1997, regarding Zyklon B, and March 4, 1997 regarding electronic terrorism and the Nizkor Project, may be found at the following URL's: http://www.webcom.com/ezundel/english/zgrams/zg1997/zg9703/970321.html, and http://www.webcom.com/ezundel/english/zgrams/zg1997/zg9703/970304.html. Each is false and misleading. 36. None of the readers on the Zgram mailing list would be made aware that Mr. Zundel's assertions are contradicted by the historical record. The Zundel site keeps the addresses on that list secret, so a response cannot be sent directly to his subscribers or readers. Attempts in the past to convince the Zundel site to include rebuttals in the Zgrams have been uniformly rejected; no such interactivity has been permitted. 37. On September 2, 1995 (http://www.nizkor.org/other-sites/correspondence/ zuendelsite/cor-1.html), Ernst Zundel wrote, in an public letter to me, and those associated with the Nizkor Project. In that, and the next two, open letters (September 13 (http://www.nizkor.org/other-sites/correspondence/ zuendelsite/cor-3.html) and 17 (http://www.nizkor.org/other-sites/ correspondence/zuendelsite/cor-1.html), 1995), he then proceeded to emit a litany of falsehoods, lies, and mudslinging, about my organization, and the net in general. Among them: that I and my webmaster must consult "superiors" who will decide what we can and cannot do that the all-volunteer Nizkor Project was "far more lavishly financed" than the Zundel site, resulting in a "David and Goliath situation" that the Nizkor Project was a "Jewish connection" which made use of "tax-supported funds" that "there are ethnic-specific limits to enjoying the freedom of the Internet" And so on. 38. Refuting the falsehoods published by Zundel would be quite easy on Usenet. But since Mr. Zundel posted on the Web, it was not possible to make his readers directly aware of challenges to his version of reality. The Zundel site refused to cross-link from their copies of Mr. Zundel's open letters to our replies; we had to wait for them to transcribe our replies and put them on-line, a process over which we naturally had no control. In at least one case, on September 16, 1995, my correspondence with Mr. Zundel was simply ignored, even though it had been both delivered by private email and posted to public UseNet newsgroups. A copy of this correspondence with Mr. Zundel may be found as URL http://www.nizkor.org/hweb/people/z/zundel-ernst/cor-4-article-txt.html. A resubmission of the same correspondence a few weeks later, which may be read as http://www.nizkor.org/hweb/people/z/zundel-ernst/open-letter-1095.html, was similarly ignored. This refusal to respond became more evident as further correspondence from Nizkor through the end of 1995, and in January 1996, was not made available on their website, nor were cross-links provided; interactivity was terminated. This is a practical example of how unidirectional linking breaks down, and provides another indication of the refusal to provide true interactivity. 38. In January, 1996, we prepared an Open Letter regarding the numerous errors and falsehoods of the past few months, and published it on our website. We regarded this as our definitive and final word on the falsehoods which the Zundel group had been spreading over the previous months. A copy of this letter can be found as URL http://www.nizkor.org/features/z-open-letter/. 39. Neither that response, nor the Uniform Resource Locator (The "URL" is the electronic address for a specific Web page.) with which people could locate it, has ever been mentioned in a Zgram or on the Zundel site. It has, to our knowledge, been totally and completely ignored, though they have been contacted many times in email. They continue to repeat the falsehoods which the response addresses. The URLs where Zundel's original open letters were located have been changed, so that our effort to engage manually in bidirectional linking - interactivity - was foiled. Finally, the Zundel site's webmaster, Ingrid Rimland, removed my webmaster from her mailing list explicitly to prevent him even from knowing whether she had responded. 40. It has been well-established that the Zundel site refuses to participate in the interactive forums of the Internet. The question is, why? Mr. Zundel has stated that he will "not debate in a sewer." The reality on the Net is that Mr. Zundel will not debate at all. After having worked to confront and refute Holocaust-denial for over five years, and having paid close attention to Mr. Zundel's work for much of that time, I believe that the reason for this refusal is twofold. 41. First, Mr. Zundel knows that much of what he claims is false. This seems obvious; even excepting the lies he has continued to publish on the net after being made aware of the truth, Mr. Zundel was twice convicted, by two separate juries, for publishing material he knew at the time to be false (the pamphlet "Did Six Million Really Die?"). Second, Mr. Zundel and the Zundel site in general exhibit a mind set which can only be described as propagandistic. From this perspective, the net, and all other forms of communication, exist not to engage in discourse and arrive at understanding, but to spread ideologies and recruit supporters. C. CONCLUSIONS 42. While the Net has enormous potential for interactivity, participation, and rebuttal of falsehoods _ in short, potential for free exchange in the marketplace of ideas _ the operators of the Zundel site have refused to take advantage of these aspects. They avoid any form of interaction with those who disagree with their views. As a result, it is impossible to effectively rebut their falsehoods. There is no sign that this pattern will change in future, either with the Zundel site or with the other major Holocaust-denial organizations and individuals on the Internet. 43. The Internet, with regard to discussion of Holocaust-denial between its proponents and opponents, has been no more interactive and participatory a medium than print publishing, and I have seen no indication that change will be forthcoming. == Ends == For further information, contact: Canadian Human Rights Commission: Donna Balkan, 613-943-9120

Apart from those already mentioned (Malzahar, Kassadin, Talon, LeBlanc), consider AP Sion. He has a reliable stun and a shield to withstand her harass/burst. He also has great burst. Malzahar is a fine counter, but mostly after level 6. Before that, it is a bit difficult for an inexperienced Malzahar to cope with Katarina's harass. If Malzahar survives until level 6, he will wreck her.

NH joins other 'downwind' states in demanding more pollution control
In a case being closely monitored by environmentalists and energy companies, the Supreme Court will today consider the EPA rule, which would set limits on pollution from coal-fired power plants in 28 states, generally referred to as "upwind states," that directly affect air quality in other states.
"With a legal cloud hanging over the EPA's attempt to reduce inter-state pollution, this petition could provide much-needed relief for breathers in the affected states," said Frank O'Donnell, president of the environmental group Clean Air Watch.
"Cleaning up this harmful power plant pollution will mean healthier, longer lives for children, families and communities across the Midwest and the millions of people afflicted in downwind states," she said.
Material from Reuters was used in this report.

Anderson Cooper Talks About His Saddest Birthday Ever on "Late Show"
Not-So-Happy MealApparently, Anderson Cooper 47th birthday wasn't that amazing.
Our favorite silver fox Anderson Cooper came on the "Late Show With David Letterman" to talk about his rather pathetic 47th birthday.
Apparently, he stopped off at a truck stop McDonald's to have a late night Big Mac combo meal. Come on Anderson, we all know you should have gone with the McNuggets (haters to the left). At least he supersized it for celebratory reasons.
I mean, McDonald's is a fun treat and all (except the when you get a Happy Meal now—then it's a terrifying treat), but we wish he took the time to fly out to LA to get himself some In-N-Out.
According to Cooper, the Mickey D's cashier looked at him like he was the "the loneliest, most pathetic person on the planet." I mean, come on, it could have been worse.
The real question is, what's the sadder celebration? Anderson Cooper's truck stop McDonald's combo meal or Walter White's lonely diner breakfast (remember when he spelled out 52 with bacon? Yeah, that was rough)?
Watch Anderson Cooper's sad, sad clip below.

Coverage: ESPN/WatchESPN
9:00 PM ET, February 4, 2014
Stephen C. O'Connell Center, Gainesville, Florida
Top Performers
Missouri: J. Brown 15 Pts, 2 Reb, 6 Ast, 2 Stl
Florida: S. Wilbekin 19 Pts, 1 Reb, 4 Ast, 1 Stl
GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Highly touted freshman Chris Walker gave the home fans something to cheer about early.
Michael Frazier II sent them home happy.
Frazier scored 14 points, hitting four 3-pointers in the second half, and Walker had two crowd-pleasing dunks in his college debut as the third-ranked Gators beat Missouri 68-58 on Tuesday night.
More from ESPN.com
Chris Walker didn't do much in his Florida debut, but he didn't need to. The Gators' win over Missouri proved they are the class of a mediocre SEC, Myron Medcalf writes. Story
Florida won its 14th consecutive game and extended a school record with its 28th straight victory at home.
Frazier came up huge in the latest one. The sophomore drained three 3-pointers in a two-minute span in the second half, giving Florida some breathing room in a tight, back-and-forth game. Frazier, who missed all four shots from behind the arc in the first half, made four of seven after the break.
"Him giving up an open 3 is like a turnover because it's probably one of the best shots we can get as a team," center Patric Young said.
Young's driving layup with 4:10 remaining gave the Gators (20-2, 9-0 Southeastern Conference) a 58-48 lead. It showed Florida's concerted effort to work the ball inside-out, something that rarely happened in the first half against Missouri's zone.
Missouri's 3-point shooting kept the Tigers (16-6, 4-5) in it for much of the game.
Missouri made eight of 21 from behind the arc but just four of 13 in the second half. The Tigers went more than four minutes without a point, a stretch that helped Florida build its biggest lead.
"We knew it was going to be a slugfest," Missouri coach Frank Haith said. "We were OK with that. ... Our game plan was good, and we were executing. Then they got going. They got it in the paint, they got to the free throw line and got aggressive there in the second half, and that was the difference in the game."
Jabari Brown led the Tigers with 15 points while Jordan Clarkson added 14.
Scottie Wilbekin finished with a career-high 19 points for the Gators. He was 13-of-16 from the free throw line, most of them down the stretch. Young chipped in 13 points and six rebounds.
But Frazier's 3s were the key.
"He's one of a kind," Wilbekin said. "There's not too many shooters out there that's better than Frazier."
Florida coach Billy Donovan notched his 16th consecutive 20-win season. Only Syracuse's Jim Boeheim and Duke's Mike Krzyzewski have longer active streaks.
Donovan's current team has some issues -- shaky free throw shooting and few long-range threats outside of Frazier -- but the addition of Walker could increase Florida's chances of making another deep run in the NCAA tournament.
A forward from Bonifay in Florida's panhandle, Walker sat out 12 games, or 40 percent of the season, because the NCAA determined he "received preferential treatment from five people, including two agents." The NCAA said Walker and people close to him accepted free cellphones and service, airfare, lodging, meals, and apparel while he was a prospect.
"I was like 16 or 17," Walker said. "I really had no idea about the rules and everything."
Walker was ordered to donate the $270 received from the agents to a charity of his choice and serve 80 hours of community service.
After failing to qualify academically and spending the fall taking online classes to gain eligibility, Walker joined the team Dec. 14 and has been practicing since. His debut, though, was on hold as the NCAA wrapped up its investigation. He was cleared to play last week, setting up his much-anticipated debut.
He drew ooh's and aah's with every move during pregame warm-ups. He got a standing ovation as he entered the game with 11:28 remaining in the first half. His first few minutes on the court gave Florida fans even more to celebrate.
Walker blocked two shots and pulled down a rebound in just three minutes. There was some obvious confusion, especially on the defensive end, but he showed surprising poise considering all the hype, the wait, the atmosphere and the opponent.
"Just happy he can finally get on the floor and contribute a little bit," Donovan said.
Walker was even better in his second stint.
Walker had two thunderous dunks in the final 2:07 of the half, finishing alley-oops from fellow freshman and former AAU teammate Kasey Hill. The second one had the O'Connell Center rocking -- but just briefly.
Brown hit a 3-pointer at the buzzer a few seconds later, giving Missouri a 28-25 lead.
"I'm just so glad to have it behind me," Walker said. "My coaches and teammates have been behind me. ... All I want to do is play my role and do anything I can to help the team win."

"It's very good to see France going through [this] first step..."
The week in review...
France: Good timing Taking advantage of low energy prices, a falling euro, and new gains in job creation – only 1,000 jobs, but the employer made a point of giving credit to recent deregulation – President François Hollande used an unusual move to bypass Parliament and put in place a set of economic reforms ranging from shortened labor arbitration procedures and deregulation of the legal profession to increased Sunday trading hours for some retailers. The reforms are also designed to impress the ECB; France's sluggish growth and high unemployment may force it to ask for more lenient terms on ECB-backed loans.
Greece and the EU: Return to sender Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis's letter to the EU received a chilly reception from Germany's finance ministry; spokesman Martin Jäger called it "not a substantial proposal", setting a downbeat tone for this week's meetings of EU finance ministers in advance of the Feb 28 expiration of Greece's bailout program. In a clear warning, the ECB made it known it would ask Greek banks to reduce their holdings of Greek sovereign debt should the talks break down, a threat both to the banks' solvency and to the market for Greece's short-term debt now dominated by those banks.
US Fed: Too much good news? The rising dollar and falling crude oil prices were two of the reasons given in minutes of the January 27-28 FOMC meeting for a large majority of voting members to stay "patient" about raising short-term interest rates. Observers seeking more clues about the timing of the hike will be watching Chairman Yellen's Congressional testimony this week, then waiting for Wednesday, March 18, the date of the press conference which follows that month's FOMC meeting.
Venezuela: Currency relief valve Decade-old currency controls involve three different legal exchange rates, none of which can be described as free-market. But the country's shortage of US dollars, created by the halving of oil prices, has forced the government's hand in the one governing payments with foreign credit cards – which is switching to buyer- and seller-driven prices. The result: that market moved from 50 bolivars per US dollar to 172 as of a week ago – much closer to the reported black-market price of 189. The beneficiaries: the local economy—which could potentially see an influx of tourist dollars – and the tourists themselves, who will see dramatically lower prices until the hotel and airfare markets adjust.
India: Defending local industry Prime Minister Narendra Modi is actively promoting India's defense industry, and courting foreign manufacturers to set up shop there. India is already the largest export market for arms from the US and the world's biggest importer of weapons. According to the Prime Minister, "This is one area where we don't want to be No. 1". But with a plan to spend $8 bn on new warships, he may not get his wish anytime soon.
China: 恭禧發財, 紅包拿來 {Prosperous New Year – Red Envelope, Please} Governments and contractors throughout Asia could be looking for their own Lunar New Year traditional cash-bearing red envelopes – from the newly-formed government-backed Silk Road initiative, designed to promote trade and infrastructure development throughout China's trade sphere in Asia, Europe and Africa. Promoted by the People's Bank of China, the country's central bank, the initiative is funded to the tune of $40 bn so far, from the country's foreign exchange reserves and other sources – potentially including outside participants.

Vt health official apologizes for security comment
MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) — The state official overseeing the Vermont Health Connect health insurance exchange has apologized for not being fully candid when a legislator asked him during a committee hearing if there had been security breaches on the website.
"I was asked about whether any security failures had occurred in Vermont Health Connect," Mark Larson, commissioner of the Department of Vermont Health Access, said of his testimony Nov. 5 to the Vermont House Health Care Committee.
"I responded that no situation had occurred where somebody's private information had been breached," he added in a letter of apology to the committee's chairman, Rep. Mike Fisher. The letter was dated Sunday and made public Monday.
Larson's letter came two days after The Associated Press reported, based on the fruits of a request under Vermont's public records law, that a security breach had been reported to the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services on Oct. 17 — nearly three weeks before Larson's testimony.
The Oct. 17 incident report said a consumer, whom officials would not identify, had reported to Vermont Health Connect that he had received in the mail — from an unnamed sender — a copy of his own application for insurance under the state exchange.
"On the back of the envelope was hand-written 'VERMONT HEALTH CONNECT IS NOT A SECURE WEBSITE!' This was also (written) on the back of the last page of the printed out application," said the incident report.
Larson's letter to Fisher said he "should have instead also included in my response the facts of this single incident, and am sorry that my statements to the committee did not do so."
Both Gov. Peter Shumlin, who appointed Larson to his current post, and House Speaker Shap Smith, who had previously appointed Larson to lead the committee Fisher now leads, called Larson's actions "unacceptable."
"Vermonters have an expectation that those testifying in front of the Legislature, particularly public officials, will do so accurately and in a forthright manner," Smith said in a statement.
"Commissioner Larson did not meet those expectations when he testified in the House Health Care Committee on November 5th," the speaker added. "This failure is particularly troubling coming from a friend, former legislative colleague and Chair of the committee."
Shumlin said, "I take this incident extremely seriously. It is unacceptable to be anything less than fully cooperative and transparent with Vermonters and their elected representatives in the Legislature. I am tremendously disappointed in Commissioner Larson's lapse of judgment in this matter."
"The legislators in Montpelier represent the Vermonters we are all elected to serve, and they have a right to have their questions answered fully. That did not happen in this case, and I have made clear to Mark and other members of my administration that it must never happen again," the governor said.
Larson said in an interview Monday that it was "not an intentional act to mislead the committee. But I understand that my testimony should have been different and I take full responsibility for that and acknowledge the impact that it's had."

Jazzmine Johnson
ESPN Player Evaluations
Boo Williams-April 09: Demonstrates that she can run a team from as a point guard and also create scoring opportunites for herself, quick lateral movement and foot speed, tough defender that plays the passing lanes very well.
TOC Dec. 08: Jazzmine Johnson is listed as a 5-8 point guard for Riverdale Baptist but her scoring ability was what was most notable here in the desert. She plays taller than her listed height because she has great length. She has good bounce and a really high release on her jumper which makes her a constant threat to the defense. She is good putting the ball on the floor and creating. She has plenty of quickness to get to the cup which sets up her pull-up. She doesn't have a frame that suggests she can bulk up but if she gets stronger she'll make a nice combo guard in college.

Bagby's Beowulf performed in Carnegie Hall, New York City
On 22 April Benjamin Bagby performed a version of Beowulf as part of a series of concerts curated by American composer David Lang.
Collected Stories: Hero
This inventive program, curated by composer-in-residence David Lang, examines the use of music to prop up a heroic character or underscore an anti-hero. Vocalist, harpist, and scholar Benjamin Bagby performs scenes from his dramatic interpretation of the Anglo-Saxon epic poem Beowulf, followed by the Harry Partch Institute Ensemble's performance of The Wayward, Partch's collection of musical compositions based on the spoken and written words of hobos riding trains, hitchhiking, and searching for nourishment during the Great Depression in the Western United States.

a bit fruity looking. a discreet black one would have been better.
let me tell you a story, a while ago i was watching a TV show called "americas next greatest inventor" or something. where people brought in their inventions and had them judged. this one guy had a low rpm grinder he used on his fingernails. well he was laughed out of the building. i guess the judges thought it was stupid. but in the back of mind i was thinking, MY GOD, THAT WOULD BE THE GREATEST THING EVER!
and when i bought this, i wasent dissapointed. finally, no more putting my hands in buckets of ice after filing down my toenails. cutting my nails went from a tedious chore, to a lightning quick task.
my only problem with this would be that its marketed towards women. it comes with a pink pouch, and there are large pink letters on the side that say: "NAIL DECORATOR". i mean come on, women can keep an emery board in their purse, or get a manicure in a salon. whats a manly man to do? and who else but a man would use a power tool on their fingers just to save time? i would have liked it to come in BLACK or GRAY, something that looks like a tool to the casual observer, something that you can throw in your toolbox and not have an embarrassing moment when one of your friends sees it.
i thought mine was a bit too SLOW, but it might just be old batteries. it tickles sometimes and it makes you flinch.
