Who will foot the bill for 'North Gitmo'?
By Anath Hartmann — Published December 16, 2009 Comments
The political blogosphere has been buzzing since the announcement Tuesday that the Obama administration plans to buy the Thomson Correctional Center in Thomson, Ill., to house about 100 Guantanamo detainees. Numerous bloggers are raising the obvious question of how, just days after the passage of the bill that approved a $3.6 trillion budget for fiscal year 2010, the White House will pay for the new facility and all the incidentals that will accompany it. Though the administration has so far remained mum on the projected cost of the acquisition and its expected source of funding, the Get d'Clu blog says the facility itself would cost about $120 million up-front and would require at least $65 million annually in operational fees. The state-of-the-art detention facility at Guantanamo Bay was built at a cost of over $50 million for the explicit purpose of keeping terrorists away from U.S. Soil," says Get d'Clu. "Scrapping ...

Feinstein critical of Dean's 'kill the bill' hee-yah
by Kerry Picket — Published December 15, 2009 Comments
Former Democratic leader Howard Dean dealt a blow to Senate Democrats today, when Greg Sargent at The Plum Line reported that Mr. Dean called for the Senate health care bill to be killed. The interview was conducted on Vermont Public Radio with host Bob Kinzel.:(bolding is mine) (Dean) "This is essentially the collapse of health care reform in the United States Senate. And, honestly, the best thing to do right now is kill the Senate bill and go back to the House and start the reconciliation process, where you only need 51 votes and it would be a much simpler bill." (Kinzel) Dean defended using this alternative budget approach for a policy bill. He argues it's been used more than 20 times by recent presidents. (Dean) "The American people don't care how we get this, as long as we get a decent process. The Republicans in the Senate will moan and groan, but ...
Reporting from the ground in Copenhagen
by Kerry Picket — Published December 15, 2009 Comments
By Anath Hartmann Now in its second week, the Copenhagen climate conference has drawn dozens of NGOs whose staffers are doing up-to-the-minute, on-the-ground blogging and reporting. There's ample reading, on the heels of the "Climategate" scandal. to be had from both sides of the global-warming opinion spectrum. Here are a few sites to follow.: The Los Angeles-based Reason Foundation, which promotes "free minds and free markets," has its science correspondent, Ron Bailey, in Copenhagen for the conference's second week. A highlight from his first dispatch, on Monday: "[M]any … developing nations are pushing to have the limit 350 ppm carbon dioxide included as an official goal for an eventual legally binding global treaty. There is one particularly interesting wrinkle in this goal: It aims to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide to levels below what is already in the atmosphere." Greenpeace is posting staffer-shot videos to YouTube. On Monday its Web site ...

Democrats continue to look for sixty votes on health care
by Kerry Picket — Published December 14, 2009 Comments
Senate Democrats caucused this evening and discussed the details of the health care bill still sitting in the Senate. The Democrats are waiting for the Congressional Budget Office to score the bill, so most Senators in the Democratic caucus remain silent until the CBO gives some answers. Senator Arlen Specter(D-PA), a newcomer to the Democratic caucus, was said to have been given a round of applause when he said, according to a Democratic aide, "Don't let these obstructionists win. I came to this caucus to be your 60th vote." Senator Lieberman (I-CT), a critic of the health care bill's public option has been in the spotlight for threatening not to vote for the bill. Liberal bloggers like Jane Hamsher of Fire Dog Lake, incensed that the Connecticut Senator is thought to be holding up health care legislation, called on the Susan G. Komen foundation, an organization that raises money to ...
Compendium: Black Panther Voter Intimidation
by Anthony Bowe — Published December 14, 2009 Comments
A civil complaint against members of New Black Panther Party accused of intimidating voters at a Philadelphia polling place in November 2008 was dismissed by the Justice Department in a cloud of controversy. Career Justice lawyers were prepared to file sanctions against the men and the court had already entered a default judgement against them. However, the lawyers were overruled by superiors and the case was dropped for two of the three men. The third was penalized with an order to not display a "weapon within 100 feet of any open polling location on any election day in the city of Philadelphia" until Nov. 15, 2012. The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights has subpoenaed the Justice department demanding records showing how the case was handled. The initial incident was partially caught on video with a camera phone.

An Al Franken gag?
by Kerry Picket — Published December 14, 2009 Comments
After Senator Al Franken (D-MN) became official among his ninety-nine other colleagues, political observers and fans alike are still waiting for the former Saturday Night Live comedian to be the outrageous guy he was known for prior to coming to Washington. Strangely enough, Congressman Alan Grayson (D –FL) is saying everything people would expect Mr. Franken would have blurted out by now. Mr. Franken has offered up bills, amendments, and chaired Senate floor debates without any wild fanfare. So what's up? Recently, while covering the ongoing health care debate in the Senate, I caught up with Mr. Franken and asked him about his opinion on Senator Chuck Grassley's (R-Iowa) amendment, which would enroll the President, members of Congress, their political advisors, and staff in the public option. I had previously asked Senator John Kerry (D-Mass.) the same question minutes before, to which the northeastern Senator said that he had not ...

National Review: Dems Cancel Copenhagen Trip Senator John Kerry, Democrat of Massachusetts and chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, told colleagues on Saturday that Democrats could not send a delegation to the United Nations climate change conference in Copenhagen. Town Hall: Harry Reid and Slavery Reid is obviously confused. Republicans have no power to block passage of the senate healthcare reform bill. Town Hall: Why "Merry Christmas" Matters to America The New York Times recently revealed that, before abandoning the idea, Barack and Michelle Obama had considered eliminating The White House's traditional nativity scene as part of an effort to celebrate a "non-religious" Christmas.
2001 video shows Schumer flip flopping on 9/11 terror trials
by Kerry Picket — Published December 13, 2009 Comments
Back in November, I discovered a 2001 Senate Judiciary Committee hearing transcript where Senator Chuck Schumer (D - NY) said it would be "ludicrous" to try Osama bin Laden in New York City's downtown federal court. However, today, Mr. Schumer is welcoming the trial of professed 9/11 mastermind Khalid Shaikh Mohammed in New York's southern district within downtown Manhattan. TRANSCRIPT of 2001 segment: SENATOR SCHUMER: There are also those prisoners of war who we have captured and will capture in Afghanistan and other countries who will receive a trial of some sort. It is clear we need to try those suspects in a forum that achieves two primary goals—two goals, I might add, that may not conflict. First, the Government must have the power to use even the most sensitive classified evidence against these suspects without compromising national security in any way, shape, or form. In addition, those who commit acts of war against the United States, particularly ...

Policy zombies at University of Colorado

The transformation is complete in Boulder, Colo. The University of Colorado has turned its entire student body into zombies. And not the fun kind that the game Humans vs. Zombies employs.Last week university officials enforced a policy banning plastic, multi-colored Nerf guns on campus after a game of Humans vs. Zombies erupted Dec. 1. The game is a glorified version of Nerf tag that can last for days.Let me make this clear, the zombies in this game don't actually try to bite people and most definitely have never been known to eat brains since the games inception in 2005 at Goucher College in Towson, Md. In fact, popular zombie lore has little to do with this game. Human tags zombie with a Nerf ball to stun it useless for 15 minutes. Zombie shoots human to transform it into a zombie teammate.

Keep the politics off our Doritos, please
by Kerry Picket — Published December 10, 2009 Comments
Sometimes, a bag of Doritos can be a delightful snack for the office in the middle of day. Recently, I looked more closely at the back of a bright blue bag of Cool Ranch Doritos and saw a photo of a young man. My first reaction was Doritos was spearheading a missing persons campaign similar to what dairy companies used to do, when they would place photos of missing children on their milk cartons. In this case, Frito Lay took a turn into the political realm. This photo was of Jeremy Dias. A 24 year old Canadian who Frito Lay, Inc. describes on the back of their Dorito bag as the following: CANADA'S YOUTH DIVERSITY INITIATIVE "After being a victim of discrimination in his own school, Jeremy sought justice in the courts. Proceeds from a settlement were used to create a youth-driven charity to address discrimination and promote diversity in Canadian ...

Diana Shipping Inc., a global shipping company specializing in the ownership and operation of dry bulk vessels, today announced that the company, through a separate wholly-owned subsidiary, took delivery of the m/v Baltimore (formerly Tamou), a 2005 built Capesize dry bulk carrier of 177,243 dwt that the Company entered into an agreement to purchase in April 2013. The m/v Baltimore is time chartered to RWE Supply & Trading GmbH, Essen, Germany, at a gross charter rate of $15,000 per day, minus a 5% commission paid to third parties, for a period of minimum 36 months to maximum 42 months. Due to schedule maintenance, the vessel is expected to be delivered to the charterers on July 2, 2013. This employment is anticipated to generate approximately $16.2 million of gross revenue for the minimum scheduled period of the charter, the company said. Including the newly-delivered m/v Baltimore, Diana Shipping Inc.'s fleet currently consists of 33 dry bulk carriers (two Newcastlemax, nine Capesize, three Post-Panamax, two Kamsarmax and 17 Panamax). The company also expects to take delivery of one Panamax vessel during September 2013, 2 new-building Ice Class Panamax vessels during the fourth quarter of 2013 and the first quarter of 2014 and two new-building Newcastlemax vessels during the second quarter of 2016. The combined carrying capacity of Diana's current fleet, excluding the five vessels not yet delivered, is approximately 3.7 million dwt with a weighted average age of 6.3 years. A table describing the current Diana Shipping Inc. fleet can be found on the company's website, www.dianashippinginc.com.

This title in other editionsOther titles in the Association of Writers and Writing Programs Award for Creati series:City: An Essay (Association of Writers and Writing Programs Award for Creati)by Brian Lennon
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:How do we come to know a place, and in seeking to know it do we make it foreign from ourselves? Do we tackle it from other perspectives--the excavator, the traveler, the observant witness? Can we know a place without the blur of our identity, or does the attempt to extricate ourselves from the external lead only deeper? Brian Lennon seeks such knowledge in this rare and revolutionary work that blends poetry with narrative, ethnography with autobiography, and philosophy with literature. City: An Essay begins and ends with meditations on place, the first an unusual and intriguing excavation of the underground depths and history of New York City and the conclusion a travelogue of Italy that reads like snapshots. But place comes to reside somewhere within the landscape of the imagination. Though classified as creative nonfiction, City is an open genre piece that reads with the rhythm and beauty of poetry. Despite its sometimes philosophical core, occasionally pausing to ponder Kierkegaardian dilemmas, it maintains linguistic grace and self-reflexivity. City is a unique and unmatched experimental work by an emerging and sophisticated writer who is paving exciting new aesthetic and theoretical roads. About the AuthorBrian Lennon is assistant professor of English and comparative literature at Pennsylvania State University. He is the author of In Babel's Shadow: Multilingual Literatures, Monolingual States, forthcoming in 2010 from the University of Minnesota Press.

March 4, 2014
Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and baby Prince George will visit the Blue Mountains during the Sydney leg of their trip "down under" from April 16 to 20. The visit was announced yesterday (Monday, March 3) by NSW Premier Barry O'Farrell. Blue Mountains Lithgow & Oberon Tourism (BMLOT) chairman Daniel Myles welcomed the honour. "I am very proud that BMLOT was invited to assist in the arrangements for the visit to the Blue Mountains by the young royal couple.

Of course we are delighted it has now been revealed and excited at the prospect of the royal visit.

The Blue Mountains, has been a favourite... Read More →

Member Press Releases OceaniaThe Biggest Man-Man Hole in the World
March 3, 2014
In October last year a group of expeditioners were among the first outsiders for almost 20 years to look into what can only be called the biggest man-made hole in the world. Passengers and guides from the expedition vessel, The Spirit of Enderby, were granted special dispensation to visit the infamous Panguna Copper Mine near Arawa in the Autonomous Region of Bougainville, Papua New Guinea. The catalyst for the Bougainville Crisis of the 1980 and 90s, and the backdrop to Lloyd Jones's acclaimed novel, Mr Pip, Panguna is the largest open cast mine in the world. Due to the Bougainville Crisis that raged there for 10 years and the subsequent blockade imposed by the Papua New Guinea government, few outsiders have visited the island until recently. The Bougainville stop off was organized by Heritage Expeditions as part of a two-week journey of discovery through Melanesia. Heritage Expeditions, a Christchurch-based expedition cruising company, specialises in taking small groups of intrepid... Read More →

Member Press Releases OceaniaAurora Expeditions' New Kimberley Wilderness Walk to Find Lost Outback Road
March 3, 2014
Expedition cruise company, Aurora Expeditions, is inviting guests to take part in a special mission in the Kimberley to uncover a lost historical track once used by early missionaries nearly 100 hundred years ago. The search will take part on a dedicated 'Wilderness Walk' which is an exclusive highlight on the company's 2014 Kimberley Coast cruise itinerary. The lost track, dubbed the 'Three Mile Road' was built in 1916 to assist with the relocation of a Presbyterian Aboriginal mission to a site named Kunmunya. Used to transport building materials by donkey cart and enable regular incoming supplies, the road linked a landing site at Nhorgor Inlet along the Kimberley coastline with the Kunmunya site in the south-east. The goal to uncover the road has been a continuing interest of the company's long-standing Kimberley Expedition Leader, Mike Cusack, who also spent 12-months living in the Kimberley outback near the abandoned Kunmunya site as part of Dick...

Oceania Travel & Outdoor GearSea to Summit Ultra-Sil Daypack
February 20, 2014
By Nina Gallo, Writer for Covering Ground This is one of my favourite pieces of travelling and backpacking kit. This tiny, lightweight backpack is just as useful on the streets of an undiscovered city as in the mountains. At 20L capacity and weighing in at 68g (2.4oz), this is one of the lightest backpacks around. It also packs down seriously small – smaller than a tennis ball. Lightweight, compact gear is all the rage right now and it's great, but it has some drawbacks. For example, how do you get it back in that miniature stuff sack? The stuff sack is quite small, but I find that the slipperiness of the fabric makes it quite easy to get back inside. (It helps if you get the shoulder straps and buckles in first). Two of my ongoing concerns with lightweight gear are comfort and durability. This pack has exceeded my expectations in both departments. The shoulder straps aren't padded, which can mean painful chafing and cutting when the pack is loaded. On... Read More →

Obama takes swipe at Snowden in spy reform speech
How is President's Obama's obviously truthful statement a slur against the slime Snowden? Ed signed secrecy agreements, then squealed like a stuck pig to China, then fled into the arms of Putin the thug. I hope they are very happy together and we are just fine without Fast Eddie. Enjoy the gay bashing Olympics dudes, as you are likely to have the place to yourselves.
Our nation's "defense" largely consists of wrecking, er, "repairing" the world.
Snowden gets excited, thinking he might be relevant again.
What still goes unspoken is the understanding of how so many people at the NSA were given security clearances who would not be cleared if security procedures were followed. The problem lies deep within the NSA, Snowden being the proverbial tip of the iceberg. For Junior High Obama to mention Snowden is just finger-pointing away from the real issue.
Yeah, and precisely how were we going to have a "robust" discussion when the public is completely in the dark about what the government is doing to savage our private lives? I'm afraid that the shopworn claim that Snowden should have "gone through channels" is pure smokescreen. All the other whistle blowers tried that and got nowhere because the government knew exactly what it was doing and didn't care if it was illegal, immoral, unethical, or some combination thereof. If you want a good discussion of this whole tawdry mess, go over to the Guardian and read Glenn Greenwald's excellent commentary.
Let me see if this is right? Liberals love whistle blowers if they are blowing whistles on wall street or big oil. They love whistle blowers that blow the whistle on corrupt governors. They hate whistle blowers that blow the whistle on the Federal government if a Democrat is holding the Presidency. Does that sound about right?
I am waiting for Obama to take a swipe at Clapper, and then throw him into jail for lying to Congress and the American people. There would be no need for Snowden if the NSA and the Federal government had been truthful from the start.
This speech begs the question: Would this speech ever have been made if Snowden did not disclosure what the NSA was doing in exactly the way he did?
If it was not for Snowden, we would still be unaware of this excessive invasion of our privacy. Snowden is a hero in my book.
Democracy depends upon informed citizens. Our way of life as we have lived it cannot exist with so much secrecy, and we owe Snowdon a large debt of gratitude for the light he has shone into dark places.
> our nation's defense depends in part on the fidelity of
> those entrusted
US citizens have an obligation to defend the constitution, not liars and perjurers and other criminals. It's RICH that the liar in chief and his perjuring NSA director have anything at all to say about fidelity.
Yeah, they'd like us to be all separate, yet they spend their money and power anywhere in the world they that they choose.
They: money oligarchs of the world.
Divided we fall. Just like where they want us serfs to be.
Maybe we can figure out how to maintain our national identities, but the upper class has gone international. How to combat them and control them is the question, when they keep us in our nationalist cages and they have gone international?
On our nations defenses: I'd say there is more to the American idea than our defenses. There is our principles, and Snowden has them and Obama doesn't.
Plus: the need for our defenses is because of the avariciousness of our leaders and the people they represent. Obama is either completely sold out, or completely in over his head, I can't tell which. One way of the other, we need to completely reject his way of thinking.
Even if the world was 100% peaceful, WH and NSA would fabricate lies and reasons to spy on a massive scale. The NSA would be bored if it did not spy on anything that moves……..guess they will spy on pets soon. Why not open all our letters (paper not email) then re-seal it. The next level of spying would be drones flying around listening and recording peoples' conversations.
TheNewWorld and Speaker2…You mean Snowden who openly admitted he stole government property and ran off to another country…you mean the coward who refuses to be a man and take his punishment like a man. A hero? Really?
In terms of invasion of privacy, when you agreed to use this blog site you gave up part of your privacy willingly. And, if you use Google, Facebook or sign cell phone contracts you did the same thing. Remember: Under the PRISM program, NSA got its information/data from these commercial vendors, the ones you sign-up with. So, you guys are willing participants in giving up your own privacy.
The White House has argued that Snowden – along with other whistleblowers – had other options for raising concerns about intelligence practices without making massive and damaging leaks.
Really?? What options are they? I'm sure most of us have run up on bureaucrats who do nothing but acknowledge the wrongdoing and assert the futility of opposing it. Our government and it's friends always get upset when someone uses the same tools they use for another purpose. The tools: deceit, thievery, misdirection. One does not fight evil by asking it to relent. Sadly, to defeat evil, one must stoop pretty low and meet it on it's own level!

British university told to apologize, compensate Israeli student
By JONNY PAUL JERUSALEM POST CORRESPONDENT
09/21/2013 22:22
Assigned adviser active in anti-Israel activity.

LONDON – An Israeli student who challenged a British university for assigning an anti-Israel lecturer as her dissertation supervisor has received an apology and compensation after a ruling from independent investigators.
In 2010, Smadar Bakovic from Neveh Ilan, west of Jerusalem, was completing a master's degree at Warwick University when she said that she claimed that Nicola Pratt, associate professor of international politics of the Middle East, was a seasoned anti-Israel activist and vocal advocate of the boycott campaign against Israel.
Bakovic wrote to the university to ask to be assigned another supervisor in light of Pratt's political stance.
"I am not challenging Prof. Pratt's intellectual abilities," she wrote at the time. "I'm sure she is extremely competent... [but] I would be much happier that a person who is not involved in anti-Israel campaigns be my supervisor."
Her request was refused. In a response, Chris Browning, who assigns dissertation supervisors, said Bakovic had been given an adviser with "a particular expertise in Middle East politics." He added that "our policy is not to allow changes of advisers once they have been assigned out of considerations of equity between students."
During Operation Cast Lead, Pratt was a signatory to a letter in The Guardian calling for Israel to lose the battle with Hamas and in 2009 was refused entry by Israel to the West Bank.
In November 2010, Bakovic received her grade of a 'pass' – the lowest grade other than a 'fail' in the British system – from Pratt.
Bakovic, who wrote her dissertation on Israeli Arab identity, accused Pratt of being "under the spell of her anti-Israel sentiments" and argued that after receiving high grades during the year and being told she was on course for a distinction.
She also mentioned a comment Pratt made in the footnotes of her work – Bakovic made the reference that minorities in Arab countries do not have equal citizenship rights. Pratt cited this as "evidence of her tendency to adopt Israeli/Zionist narratives as though they were uncontested facts."
In 2011, the university agreed to re-mark her dissertation and awarded her a distinction, with a grade 11 points higher than marked by Pratt.
However, last year she took the case to the Office of the Independent Adjudicator and complained that Professor Pratt's supervision was "biased and discriminatory."
Last month the independent investigators ruled that her complaint was partly justified and said that the university must apologize and pay Bakovic £1,000 ($1,600).
Bakovic, who is now back in Israel, said she was "delighted" with the outcome.
"This was a victory for all Israelis and for all other people who have been discriminated against because of their nationality.
It shows that we can't be kicked around and that we don't give up just because things get tough and messy," she said.

Senate Bill 251 is on its way to the Governor's desk after receiving unanimous approval from the Senate and the House, according to a media release.
The measure, authored by Sen. Earl Garrison, D-Muskogee, and Rep. Arthur Hulbert, R-Fort Gibson, will give the Oklahoma School for the Blind and the Oklahoma School for the Deaf more leniency in making decisions for their students.
Under SB 251, the Oklahoma School for the Blind and the Oklahoma School for the Deaf will be considered local education agencies for the purposes of purchasing and administering tests required for high school graduation.
The bill will allow the superintendents of the two schools to make decisions regarding reasonable testing accommodations for individual students' disabilities.
For example, if someone has astigmatism or jerky eye movement, and cannot track words on a page while reading a selection on a test, this bill will allow the superintendent to provide that student with a straight edge ruler to track the words, Garrison said in the release.
Currently, any accommodations have to be approved by the State Board of Education.
The measure has an emergency clause so it will go into effect immediately upon being signed by the governor.

Official crackdown on Apple fanboi 'shanty town' ahead of London iPhone launch
What they should do
Is use their right to protest and stage an anti tax dodge protest sit-in in front of the store.
They can then call an end to the protest the minute the new iPhone is for sale

Re: It's not agressive atheist - it is an agresive theocracy
it's a wikipedia article and a disputed wikipedia article at that!
What you have described there are the tricks that religions use but they are the tricks and propaganda that are used by many ideologies, marketing departments and oppressive regimes. To then call them a pseudoreligion is to twist the language to suit your purposes.
Have a look at some of the "atheist" pages on facebook. The propogation of meme's, the use of language (sky fairies, imaginary friends etc…), the ridiculing of anyone of faith or not in "the atheist gang" and spreading of lies and half-truths are all signs of religion.
Atheism is simply the lack of belief in a God. Just because you don't happen to like a certain atheist political system does not mean it's not atheist.

Re: I, for one, will not purchase this tat.
It'll be the cars with drivers which will carry on ploughing into other vehicles. Those with software controlling them will be safely coming to a stop out of harms way.
Most drivers have no idea about safe distances
And as for "Advanced training" you must be joking,. Most people get just below the legally required minimum and then scrape through the test after a number of attempts
Most people are capable of driving safely but the risk of death isn't great enough for them to bother with it
Re: I, for one, will not purchase this tat.
Software can do a LOT more about it
1. The vehicle having a problem can instantly alert other vehicles to the emergency so they can start braking/taking evasive action
2. Vehicles can automatically monitor each other for potential problems
3. reaction time of a vehicle is much faster than a humans, again - alerts can propagate faster through the flow of traffic
4. Vehicles can be "taught" coping techniques for a wide variety of emergency situations
There is no reason why multi vehicle pileups cannot become a thing of the past once inefficient and inattentive humans are taken out of the equation

Tell me, professor, what is big data?
Re: Wrong? @ BlueGreen
What happens when you need to compare the current row with the next 10, 15, 1000 rows?
The point is, you are always going to have to make SQL do something which is slightly unnatural when you want to compare rows like this.
No one is saying it can't be done, as both of us have pointed out, it can be done and any SQL expert isn't going to run into any difficulties writing the SQL to do it.
BUT if all you are doing with the data is ploughing though the sets and analysing it in a sequential manner then SQL is a second best choice.
"SQL is wildly incompetent at comparing sequential rows"
I think the Prof was exercising his Journalist Licence when making that statement :)
Re: Wrong?
"Ok, ordering: yes, it's a set but there's nothing in the relational model that prevents one from matching a row with the logically prior row "
Typically when you are comparing a row with "the next row" you have to define 2 sets, both containing the same data which you then join in such a way as to compare a row with its equivalent next row. With a self join method this would mean doing something like:
select Sale1.Price - Sale2.Price
from sales as Sale1
inner join sales as Sale2
where Sale1.ID = Sales2.ID+1
Sales1 and Sales2 might both contain data from the same table but they are defined as separate sets.
This is NOT the same as defining something as
Select current.Price - next.Price
from Sales
Which something like MDX would allow you to do as MDX works with ordered data sets

This is how all the big consultancies behave. It does seem unfair to single out IBM for what is typically cuntish consultancy behaviour

No Choice but Windows 8?
Re: No Choice but Windows 8?
I've been running a windows 8 Dell laptop for 4 months now - a Dell XPS15-l521x.
I have had multiple VMs running at the same time (Windows server and Linux) and I've been running SQL Server natively both database and analysis services usung a 1TB database on an external drive. I regularly eat up all 8GB Ram, and will be upgrading that to 16GB although the immediate need has gone since I changed to a new contract.
Anyway, my point is that once you get a start button replacement running and change the default applications to NOT use the win8 apps then you'll be fine.
Apart from the tiles thing windows 8 is actually pretty nice

Indies do not know how to make better games, Indies however are able to slip under the radar until they produce a game good enough to get them noticed.
The larger companies, like EA, are measured on all their output, good or bad especially when the game is part of an existing franchise (SimCity anyone?)
Have a look at the games on your app store, ignore the first few pages and have a proper look at the amount of utter dredge being pumped out, more often than not by indie games companies

Russell Brand Speaks Out About Divorce, Katy Gets The $6.5 Million House
Earlier this morning Perez Hilton discussed the current situation with Russell Brand and Katy Perry's divorce proceedings.
Perez reported to B96/Chicago, "While Katy is remaining mum on her divorce, Russell is speaking out about his split from the singer."
Russell claims that he's doing well, saying "I don't have to let anything go. I don't hold on to anything negative. It's the same as zeroness. It's not about letting it go. You can't let go of someone you don't hold, you know."
Perez doesn't exactly know what what Russell means by his statement, but he does understand why they are getting through the divorce so quickly. Russell still hasn't made any public comments about cheating after Katy's friend Markus Molinari tweeted about it.
Perez commented, "They are also finalizing their divorce and he is giving Katy the house as a way of speeding the divorce process up. Not that long ago, they bought a $6.5 million mansion in Los Angeles."
As they are finalizing their affairs and sadness, both of them have seemed to move on with other partners. Katy has been linked to supermodel Baptiste Giabiconi while Russell has reportedly been seeing a Hungarian model named Nikolett Barabas.

New to lockpicking? Start here!
Be sure that you are familiar with any legal issues for your state or country.
Get involved in the community:
Please note: The community of /r/lockpicking is not here to give emergency advice on how to open locks, nor to facilitate illegal activity. Any post asking advice on how to open a lock must provide as much detail as possible on the lock, as well as a picture of this lock, its key, if possible in a "workbench" context (i.e. not mounted on a door, unlocked, etc...)
What type of lock do you recommend? (self.lockpicking)
submitted 8 months ago by iagox86
This may be a little backwards from the usual questions here, but /r/locksmith is fairly small. If you can recommend a better subreddit for this, let me know!
My question is, I just bought a house and I need to change the locks, so what's the coolest kind of lock? I'm not super worried about security, considering somebody could very easily smash my window and open my door (that's assuming I remembered to lock it), I'm more worried about usability and coolness!
Are the locks where you can punch in combos to unlock any good? Are there any good home-grade RFID or remote-controlled locks I can use? Any locks that I can use an app on my phone to unlock? Or proximity to my phone, so I can have it automatically unlock when I'm near? Bluetooth? NFC?
I already carry a RFID token for work, so if I could use the same one for home, that'd be killer!
Looking forward to your comments!
[–]alkw0ia 18 points19 points20 points 8 months ago
Abloy Protec. The mechanism is smooth and satisfyingly solid. There are no springs and pins as in a normal pin tumbler lock. Instead, you insert the key then as you turn it different sloped sections of the key rotate metal discs inside the lock. Unlocking your front door every night feels like winding an expensive watch.
I think having both a beautiful and pleasant to feel lock (and key – contrast with Medeco keys, which are sharp and spiky in your pocket) is totally worth it if only because it's something you'll interact with at least once a day. I view it like buying any other top quality personal accessory – say a pen, a messenger bag, or a phone.
That and it's probably the most unpickable lock you can easily buy in the U.S. (Though this is terrible if you're prone to locking yourself out – you'll be paying to have the lock drilled then another $100+ for a replacement, or paying to repair a smashed window if you screw up, and, as you mentioned, its added security is almost totally worthless in any residential installation.)
Also, the keys are $10 a piece, and must be ordered from your dealer, not a local locksmith, all of which adds up if you spread lots of copies around for friends/family/backup. This will be true of almost all of the fancier locks, though.
[–]hitmonval 3 points4 points5 points 8 months ago
I think this pretty typical of us lock aficionados. To me it's not just the locks appearance and security, but also how it feels when I'm using it, as well as the key. Great suggestion!
[–]MistaSchlong 3 points4 points5 points 8 months ago
Would the Abloy be as easy to defeat as this video makes it seem?: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnH9OSvdtFE
[–]alkw0ia 9 points10 points11 points 8 months ago
First of all, that tool is designed to pick the original model of Abloy lock ("Abloy classic"), released in 1907.
I haven't had a chance to use one, but my understanding is that they're somewhat difficult to use, especially on the name brand Abloy locks, due to their tight tolerances and some false gates (as opposed to the cheap Asian disc detainer clones).
I'd actually love to learn to pick disc detainer locks, as I understand even those clones can be tough, and it's totally different from pin tumbler picking. Anyone have any tips on learning on these pick tools?
So essentially, that video is showing the theory of opening a disc detainer lock – i.e. having that tool and following those steps puts you in the same position as merely having a normal set of picks and knowing the theory of opening pin tumbler locks. If you've done any "normal" locks, you'll know it's not a rote process to go from theory to practice, and it's complicated by more expensive or higher security variations, as the Abloys are.
Further, the Protec is not that lock. It's several generations past the lock in that video, and has several systems designed to stop picking.
For instance, unlike in the classic, once you start rotating the discs, two bars come down and lock all the discs together so you can't move them independently. This prevents picking each disc individually, since (ideally, by design) you can't even test a disc against the sidebar without committing to the positions of all the discs at once.
Picking techniques in general rely on this per-pin or per-disc independence to turn finding the lock code into a problem linear in the number of pins or discs. Without it, the problem is exponential in the number of discs.
As far as I know, there is no public demonstration of, or description of techniques for opening one of these locks. That doesn't make it invulnerable, but I'm not aware of many other locks with a similar claim.

Electronic locks always have a manual override, so they aren't worth the trouble from the security perspective. There is a cool one that just got Kickstarted should be out soon: Lockitron
[–]iagox86[S] 3 points4 points5 points 8 months ago
They had me, that's exactly what I'm looking for, right until the part where you install it over top of your current deadbolt. That sounds kinda hackish and ugly, and I'd still have to buy a new lock. :(
I'm not too worried about security, like I said, somebody can just break a window if they really wanted in. I'm more worried about something that is cool and functional. My friend's Weiser combo-based door lock actually stopped working recently, and I helped him pick the physical lock portion. :)
[–]sempfAdmin Director of L.I -1 points0 points1 point 8 months ago
My dad has a Schlage keypad operated one. Works good, but I picked the physical lock in about 20 seconds with a long rake.
I didn't know about the 'install over your lock' thing - sorry. That does kinda suck. Someone else will have an awesome suggestion, I am sure.
For the record, I have a BiLock
[–]yoyoguy2 5 points6 points7 points 8 months ago
fichet. bilock. evva mcs. abloy protec. mul-t-lock.
[–]alkw0ia 2 points3 points4 points 8 months ago
All great for security, but the OP isn't after that, he's after "usability and coolness."
IMO Mul-t-lock feels cheap and low quality (even if objectively it's not), especially with their plastic key bows and rattle-y interactive components.
BiLock's action feels just like a plain old low security pin tumbler in use, plus the keys are an awkward shape, are sharp, and seem like they'd attract junk in your pockets, forcing you to do something akin to "drawing a Bramah key from his pocket, with a small plug therein, to keep the dust out."
MCS would be awesome, but do you know anywhere to source one (plus, for the OP, enough support to reasonable replace new keys and fix or replace cylinders as they fail)? I'd be interested myself.
Fichet I'd never heard of, but it looks awesome. Those wavy keys look amazing. Any idea in sourcing in the US?
[–]AdShea 1 point2 points3 points 8 months ago
MCS takes the cake for cool I think, but local support would be an issue.
[–]alkw0ia 0 points1 point2 points 8 months ago
Yeah. I'd be happy to even see one to mess with for a few minutes.
[–]RudolfC 1 point2 points3 points 8 months ago
The Fichet F3D has a very cool looking key, and is mechanical. I think it is pretty awesome, but would be difficult to buy in the US. Here is a great paper with information: http://toool.nl/images/f/fe/The_Fichet_F3D_High_Security_Lock_Mechanism.pdf

Similar to the lockitron, kwikset is releasing a Bluetooth enable deadbolt some time soon. I'm definitely curious about it.
[–]browsit 1 point2 points3 points 8 months ago
I wonder if it will be more secure than the Z-Wave implementation.
[–]KW160 2 points3 points4 points 8 months ago
You can buy Best SFIC parts pretty cheap on eBay. Nice for quick rekeying, the blanks are readily available and you can cut the keys on any cutter. 7 pins will make it decently effective against the average picker. (I did this.)
[–]hitmonval 2 points3 points4 points 8 months ago
Depends on how you define "quick rekeying". You need a cradle and a special tool to put the caps back on. You also need a different rekeying kit (.108 vs. .115) as regular universal pin kits don't have them. Oh and good luck finding .108 security pins...
I like IC core but it's a little bit of a hassle for DIY. Not a problem if OP has a locksmith do it.
[–]BadHumanGoodGnome 2 points3 points4 points 8 months ago
I would have never thought of the question, but this has been an interesting read.
[–]Villipoto 1 point2 points3 points 8 months ago
Coolest lock for a door is the CDX 09 No rfid feature, 1600 bucks and I wouldn't want it exposed to the elements.
Schlage Bright blue could control a mag lock or electronic lockset
Arrow Revolution has a latch and deadbolt version. 500 bucks a lock I think. No rfid feature.
Try visiting a tech sub and asking around. I have heard of guys hooking a card reader up to garage doors and mag locks for the home. I wouldn't want a mag lock in my house though
Code locks, I would go with the Emtek They are a well established company with amazing support and warranties. No rfid feature.
There are videos of tech guys hooking up readers to open locks with automobile remotes. I have no idea how to do that but apparently it is possible.
