Fortent study reveals that Asia faces the highest risk of money laundering, and that trade finance is set for regulatory focus
NEW YORK –Asia has seen the greatest increase in money laundering risk in the world, according to a survey of senior money-laundering compliance officers from national, regional and global financial organisations. The survey, conducted by risk and compliance software provider Fortent, concludes that the retail banking industry represents the area of greatest activity in financial crime and predicts trade finance will be the next focus of regulatory activity.
At international firms, 30% of respondents identified Asia as the region with the greatest growth in money laundering risk. Respondents also anticipated trade finance and ownership will come under regulatory scrutiny over the next five years, again citing Asia – and the Middle East – as the regions of greatest concern.
"China and south-east Asia is an area of tremendous economic expansion and increasing trade to, from, and through the countries in that region," says Jim Richards, Bank Secrecy Act officer at US firm Wells Fargo. "With the positive benefits of economic expansion and trade come the negative aspects of increased fraud and money laundering. We need to be inventive, determined, and proactive if we're going to identify and investigate suspicious activity tied to finance in these areas."
Retail banking was identified by 71% of participants as the sector most sensitive to money-laundering risk. For large financial institutions it represents the side of operations with the greatest percentage of all anti-money laundering compliance risk for an organization. Private banking and electronic cash systems were highlighted as especially dangerous, with debit cards, smart cards, and online value transfer systems all causing concern for the compliance industry.
An increase in criminal activity over the next year was anticipated by 60% of respondents, linking the trend to weakening economic performance. In the wake of the US subprime crisis, the credit crunch is also thought to include an increase in mortgage-related criminal activity. Some 65% said they anticipated their institutions would increase allocation of resources to monitoring and detecting criminal activities, leading to rising costs in systems and staff for firms. Budgetary concerns are also seen as the primary obstacle to effectively waging a war on financial crime – more than half of participants said cost was the reason security had not been stepped up.

On November 9th, we asked K.B. Gould and Henry Phillips to make a fall pilgrimage to the Alchemist Brewery in Waterbury, Vermont. The closing of the brewery's retail operation loomed just days away. Joined by driver Dave Watson, the two accepted their assignment: visit the home of Heady Topper, one of the highest-rated beers in the world, to pay homage to its brewmasters, enjoy a taste and a tour and scrounge a rare case. This is the chronicle of their trip.

Tasting Notes: Donkey and Goat 2012 Lily's Cuvée Chardonnay
In that casual game of preference, Would You Rather, we're often faced with important decisions, like raising a child at 15 or never having kids, or losing a pinky toe or never eating steak again. During one of these games, when asked about giving up beer for eternity, we came to a realization: while undesirable, the parting of ways wouldn't be the end of the world — and we could do it without becoming a hard-hitting liquor drinker. How? With a lifetime supply of sparkling wine, and specifically, a style of sparkling wine called pétillant naturel. One glass of the 2012 Lily's Cuvée Chardonnay ($28) from California's Donkey & Goat winery and you'll know what we're talking about.
In [hot] vino veritas
Mulled Wine, Three Ways
Mulled wine is the perfect drink for the holiday season: just pleasant and alcoholic enough to warm everyone up, but not like handing out rounds of high-octane Manhattans that could turn Thanksgiving dinner into an episode worthy of Jenny Jones. We tapped the expertise of Jane Elkins, former and current barkeep at some of New York City's best cocktail haunts, for three variations of mulled wine, each rooted in tradition and brushed up with ingenuity from behind her bar.
When In Russia...
Za Zdarovye! The 10 Best Russian Imperial Stouts
You ever have one of those ideas that seems really good at the time? Like, let's drop these broken speakers down a flight of stairs, or let's jump into the mosh pit at a Machinehead concert, or let's see if we can lure that deer into the car? Just last weekend, I thought it would be a good idea to taste-test a whole load of Russian Imperial Stouts. If you're not familiar with the style, it's characterized by high ABVs and huge chocolate, coffee and malt flavors.
Although they're monstrously strong and typically expensive, Russian Imperial Stouts push the flavor intensity spectrum, offering a look at the sultry, heady, muscly side of beer. For those willing to experiment, they offer a variety of smells, flavors and textures found in few other styles of beer. But take note: if you're going to try them, don't make it a marathon. Give them the credit that they deserve. Still, from the pain of my hangover emerged this list of our favorite Russian Imperial Stouts.
Gifts He'll Actually Remember in the Morning
12 Guys of Christmas: The Mixologist
What to call a man who obsesses over alcohol? A connoisseur? A fanatic? A drunk? We call him The Mixologist, and you know him well. He's the man whose cupboards are stocked with more bitters than spices, whose basement is reeking of homebrew, whose glass is always half-full — at least. And yours too, for the Mixologist prides himself in the cocktails he makes and the beer he serves. He's an enabler of fun, an anti-Scrooge, a Holiday MVP. He's every character in Billy Joel's Piano Man — in fact, he does a mean Billy Joel if the night goes late enough. So cheers to The Mixologist. Here are a few gifts he'll cheers to.
For relaxing times...
Kanpai! The Five Best 12 Year Old Japanese Whiskies
Last week hummus and yoga were "in", and while they're not out yet, there's a new top dog in Popularville: Japanese Whisky. Notice the spelling — that's whisky with a -y, like Scotch whisky, not whiskey with an -ey, the spelling used for U.S. and Irish varietals. Yes, the Japanese whisky industry was modeled after the Scottish single malt industry's practice of distilling and blending under one roof, but it's since taken on a life of its own. As a result of several recent victories over Scottish whiskies at blind tasting competitions, Japan's best-kept secret escaped, and the world is eager to test the hype. We tasted five of the best 12-year-old Japanese whisky offerings, and we can assure you that the hype is warranted.
Big beer for Bigfoot
Great Divide Oatmeal Yeti Imperial Stout
Great beers — really great ones — have of late fallen into two categories. Big IPAs make their impression with complex hop mixes, while big stouts levy another piece of the puzzle, malt, for a savory warmth of chocolate, toffee, vanilla, smokiness and even bourbon notes. Great Divide Oatmeal Yeti Imperial Stout ($10) comes from a family of "big" beers, but the simple inclusion of rolled oats and some raisins (among a few other tweaks) in its brewing process makes this beast a different breed. This Yeti went to Yale.
Oldies but Goodies
Tasting Notes: Comparing Bowmore's 12 Years Old and 15 Years Old Darkest
There's something to be said for a little maturation. Age yields refinement, which more than compensates for lost youth. Poetic, eh? We think so. Anyways, one only has to look at Bowmore's 12 Years Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky and their 15 Years Old Single Malt Darkest to see the effects of age in action. We tasted both side by side.
Better Than Average Joe
Tested: Brazen Coffee Brewer
For those who believe that little things make good coffee, the Brazen Brewer ($199) offers a mid-range drip machine with technology and temperature accuracy most often found on higher-end models. We put it through its paces as our office brewer for a week.
A new expression from Johnnie Walker
Tasting Notes: Johnnie Walker Platinum Label
Johnnie Walker presents a good lesson in the way the world really works: the rich drink Blue, the working man drinks Red, and in between there are rungs on the ladder of purchasing power. If you can make it to Double Black, you might just be able to claw your way into a bottle of Johnnie Walker Platinum Label ($110), now available in the United States.
It's the end of the world (as we know it)
Tasting Notes: Stone 17th Anniversary Götterdämmerung IPA
Seventeen years is a long time to experiment. That's evident in Stone's 17th Anniversary Götterdämmerung IPA, a beer with a name that means "the twilight of the gods" (in this case, meaning "the end of the world") and shares its title with a Wagner opera. This nomenclature lends an impression of serious clout, and in many ways it's warranted.
Gimme some sugar(cane)
Slow As Molasses: 5 Rums We're Drinking Now
In the final throes of summer each year, before we dust off the leather boots, get out the lambswool sweaters and prepare to toss the first curse at Old Man Winter, we spend a little extra time with Old Man Rum. Pretty good company, this guy: a spirit distilled from sugarcane juice or molasses, with few other rules to govern its production and aging. That makes for a drink that varies greatly in style and provenance. The five rums we're enjoying now reflect that variety of tastes.
Cold Off the Presses
Cool Beans: 5 Great Cold Brew Coffee Makers
Iced coffee has been a longstanding warm-weather alternative to the hot stuff since forever, but there have always been drawbacks. As you'd expect, brewing hot coffee and then putting it on ice leads to a watery, acidic brew with as much flavor as Chuck D's solo career. The answer is cold brew. Using cold or…
A Capitol Brew
Tasting Notes: DC Brau
DC has its downsides. It's not a state. Traffic is depression inducing. The city is built on a swamp and has the clime to match. The poor folks who reside there have to deal with the assholes who run our country. But add to the list of good things (it really is a long list, despite our recent pessimism) DC Brau, the home-town brewery for our nation's capitol, which besides this one, has surprisingly little beer to offer. We recently got a chance to try all three of their flagship brews.
Comfortably plum
Tasting Notes: Greenhook Ginsmiths Beach Plum Gin Liqueur
There's nothing like a bottle beach plum liqueur to conjure even totally made up memories of summering on the Atlantic coast. The only such spirit with a commercial release? Greenhook Ginsmiths Beach Plum Gin Liqueur ($50), made in Brooklyn, NY, by the young distillery whose American Dry Gin we've also sampled.
Pinkies down, thumbs up
Tasting Notes: Union Wine Co.
If you produce videos like this one, our inclination is going to be to like you. We had hopes for their 2012 Underwood Pinot Noir ($12). Mind you, they were bro hopes, bare of the usual pretension that comes with a wine tasting.
Strange Brew
Tasting Notes: The Glenlivet Alpha
A bottle of The Glenlivet Alpha is, well, a strange prospect. We got our hands on a bottle of this limited release Scotch — a spirit with no details as to age, cask conditioning or tasting notes, mind you. Our gimmickry alarms bells were ringing, but fortunately, it came through in the taste department, big time. Read on for our full tasting notes.
Same country, new port
Tasting Notes: Pike Creek Whiskey
Pike Creek Whiskey was available stateside in the 90s. Slow sales soon put the importation experiment to an end, despite a budding cult following. Now, Pernod Ricard is reintroducing the spirit back to select American markets. Unlike typical Canadian whiskies, Pike Creek is finished in Port barrels, and left at the mercy of the elements in unheated warehouses. But is it really a different? Read our full review to find out.
Full body, full wallet(?)
Want This, Get This: 2009 Chateau Petrus or 2011 Leonetti Merlot
You know the pinnacle of wine-making remains in France. Well, so do all those newly minted Chinese millionaires, and they've driven the price of Old World red wines sky high. This is especially true for top-end Bordeaux, which carry the highest cache among French wines. Those of us without a state-sponsored fortune, trust fund, or impending Wall Street bonus, however, have to look elsewhere for quality wine. Here are two splurge-caliber choices, made in the same style, of the same grape — merlot — though one comes without the inflation of appellation.
Canadian flag, Caribbean taste
Tasting Notes: Angel's Envy Rye Whiskey
Angel's Envy's latest creation, a rye whiskey finished in Caribbean rum barrels, supposes to pair a contrasting set of spirit flavors. We take a few sips and find out for ourselves.
[Cacao] farm to table
A Traveler's Bounty: Cuban Cacao
Back safely in the U.S., I removed the cacao ball from my running shoe. I unwound the plastic wrap from the dark brown orb and sniffed it. My best friend, Mycah, and his wife, Ashley, had picked it up at a cacao farm in Baracoa, a small town on the eastern tip of Cuba. This was the good shit. I pictured myself shaving it over ice cream to impress a date or using it to flavor chili. Oh, this chocolate here? I got it from a guy in Cuba. Chef François Payard showed me how I could actually use it.
Con-cidre it tasty
Tasting Notes: Stella Artois Cidre
To begin: someone made a mistake in this assignment. I don't like ciders. They're sweet enough to send me into shock. They have a flatness that makes my tongue feel ashamed. They attract large numbers of bees. With those prejudices in mind, I gave Stella Artois's new Cidre a taste.
Only good things in store
Mix It Up: Great Store-Bought Mixers
A decent drink can be hard to find, especially when you're at home. For the do-it-yourselfers who would rather the "do" simply be mixing the strong stuff with the not-so-strong stuff, we've compiled a list of the top five mixers you can find in your friendly neighborhood high-end liquor store. All you have to do is add booze, ice and maybe a wry wink as you drop in the cocktail straw.
Beer o'clock comes early this summer
Suds Up: Perfect Summer Craft Beers
A true hot-weather brew is not necessarily easy to find. We won't knock macrobrews — their simple refreshment is enhanced all the same by hot weather, scantily clad women and baseball games. Those (the beers, not the women) are easily snatched from the corner store shelf, though. This list tackles the summer micro brew, a trickier topic, if only because there are so damn many. Pop the cap off the right one of these beauties and any summer activity can be filled with crisp, carbonated, slightly buzzed pleasure.
Bee open minded
Tasting Notes: Dewar's Highlander Honey
Putting honey into alcoholic things has a bad rap. It's effeminate, it's weak, it's a cop-out. The parallels to shitty, girly strawberry-kiwi-whipped-cream-lip-gloss vodka are overwhelming. But everyone's doing it. Now Dewar's (a Scotch!) has joined in. We're here to tell you: their take isn't wrong. It's just… different.
As American as the Mayflower, and twice as fun
Rum: Your Official Summer Drink
Most honest Americans of drinking age know bourbon as the national spirit. But there's another drink for us to enjoy in the warm weather that, like bourbon, has a uniquely American story: rum. We've overlooked it for some time; meanwhile, there's plenty of new, excellent, American and Caribbean rum coming to market, and rum-specific bars are opening in cities across the country. Rum, for now, is a little less serious than Scotch or bourbon, but what it brings to the table is no laughing matter — unless you've got your pinky dangling.
A voyage to Midleton Distillery in Cork County, Ireland
Distilling Tradition: A Visit to the Home of Jameson Irish Whiskey
There's a published sociologist somewhere who said integration is the key to acceptance. Maybe we're just paraphrasing Costner's journal in Dances with Wolves. Regardless of who penned it, whisk(e)y makes a convincing case for the theory. Various cultures, united by their admiration of the caramel liquid's charms, have each honed their own rituals for conjuring the spirit — and we, the imbibing people, have reaped the benefits of these diverse forms of worship.
Irish whiskey is one tradition that many beyond the Emerald Isle scarcely know, despite the island's profound role in molding the drink into the revered male favorite it has become. But this wasn't always the case. At the height of its glory, the product of Ireland's distilleries was once the favored drink of the British empire, and its most notable ambassador, Jameson, was the world's favorite whiskey. What happened next reads like a lost Dumas manuscript, complete with revolution, religion and economic turmoil all ending in the drink's unjust imprisonment. The good news for drinkers is that after patiently biding its time for well over a century, the era of Irish whiskey's redemption is finally arriving, and it's easy to spot if you know where to look.
Poring over coffee's simplest method
Kit: The Perfect Pour Over Coffee Set
Occam's razor: A philosophical principle suggesting that simpler explanations tend to be better than complex ones. It has broad application, from medicine to ethics to proofs of the existence of God. Now if we apply the razor to our morning coffee, as the thinking men of Gear Patrol are wont to do, we can scrap our fancy drip machines and super-automatic espresso makers and still get a world-class cup of coffee without doing much more than pouring hot water over coffee grounds. We've assembled a pour over kit with all the basics to get you started — at a very affordable price.
Hail to the King, Baby
Malted Madness, Round Six: Sipping a Champion
It felt good to finish a successful 64-beer tournament. Partly because our bladders were feeling the pressure after lots of beer samples, but mostly because we got to crown a winner. 64 beers — Vienna-style lagers, IPAs, imperial stouts, wheat ales, barleywines, pale ales — under one bar's roof is chaos (delicious, delicious chaos). But picking one as the absolute best is as singularly satisfying as the tick-hiss of popped bottle cap.
The final two competitors prove we did something right. Founders Breakfast Stout and Victory Prima Pils make drinkers happy, and they make brewers happy. They're delicious, complex, drinkable and extremely accessible to beer fans; they're also the epitome of two foundational styles, perfect examples of what excellent American craft brewing can create.
Good tequila? Aqui
Tasting Notes: Qui Tequila
Last Cinco de Mayo you ended up in the gutter with an extra-large sombrero shading your bloodshot eyes. Ready to grow up a bit for this year's celebration? May we recommend Qui tequila ($57), sipped straight while you fight the waves of heartburn your taco feast brings on.

Charlottesville, VA- President Obama visited Monticello on Monday afternoon.
The President was joined by French President Franco is Hollande. There
were a lot of first in this trip.
This trip to Jefferson's mountain top home in
Charlottesville was part of Hollande's three day visit to the US. It was the
five years that Thomas Jefferson spent in France that inspired the design of
Monticello but despite that inspiration, no French President has been there
President Obama landed on the runway in Charlottesville just after
three Monday afternoon, on a recently refurbished C-32 aircraft as Air Force
The two then headed straight to Monticello to tour, closing down several
roads in Charlottesville to allow their motorcade to get through.
Many former
presidents and foreign dignitaries have visited Monticello but this is Obama's
first visit to Jefferson's mountain-top estate.
Not only was the visit the President's first, it was also the first time a US
president has visited Monticello with a foreign head of state

Created for Newgrounds Game Jam 4.
Team Mohawk Dairy!
Our handicap was that all graphics had to be created OUTSIDE of flash.
We went with a hand drawn and scanned, classic retro feel.
Everything was created in 72 hours.
The story was written in 72 hours.
The art was done in 72 hours.
the code was written in 72 hours.
Hope you enjoy.
Can you get All 4 endings?
True ending is the best.
(Click with mouse to continue in the game.)
EDIT: Oh my gosh! Front page? Wow. Thanks for your support everyone. We really appreciate it!
EDIT 2: PooPooTheGorilla syas to PM him if you can find the secret message in the Alien room, you may even get a prize!
EDIT 3: Wow! 10,000 views. Thanks for playing.
Geriatric Skeletor ftw
Well made.
The only problems I noticed were:
When you shoot the groundskeeper, he shows up alive at the end anyway. That COULD be handwaved by saying he never actually died, but then Marsh references things Norm told him in the 'don't kill the groundskeeper' option.
When the radioactive chicken shows up, one of its wings gets cut off by the background.
Other than that, there were no glitches, no real storyline errors, no control errors. You did a great job making this out to be a parody-- assuming this was your intention, of course.
(P.S. Would you mind including an alternate, keyboard control scheme for the next game? I'm sure I'm not the only one who prefers that to mouse clicking.)
Parody is what we were going for.
There will be enter/space advancement options in the next game.
All I can say is...
Poor Mittens. :(
Wished it was longer! XD
Great game. I like the mystery and the WTF? mouments. Radioactive chickens, evil smurfs, gardener somehow living, jumping into holes, etc. The starting form the beginning was somewhat annoying but tolerable sense the game was short. Hope to see another, longer game like this. :D
But the game didn't answer one important question. Did Mittens ever go to Mexico? :(
The Sequel will be "Mittens goes to Mexico" and will explain everything.
Just kidding,
The next game will have a, longer, better plot, similar art style, but MUCH more interactivity, but no relation to this story.
A Fun, Short Horror Comedy
I enjoyed the writing style, the comedy, the mix of the melancholy lines with jokes. There was an issue I had, there were numerous spelling mistakes; obvious ones.
I dont come across a game like this too often so I was pleasantly surprised. The sketches were awesome. It really made me wish the story was longer and had more visuals just because they were so enjoyable.
I wish the dialog was longer than one, two lines. It was somewhat annoying to have to click every few seconds. Before I forget, thank you for including the option to skip watching the text "print." At least it made reading easier/quicker.
If you make any new stories that are longer, be sure to add a checkpoint system. this way we can choose to start from scratch or the last point.
I'll be looking forward to more of you'se guys work.
checkpoints will be implemented in the next game.
As well as many new things, including a more thought out and longer story.

On Day of Controversial Loan Vote, NYS Quietly Sends Notice of Sewer/Water Projects That Will Go Unfunded
One doesn't have to look far to find New York State sewer and water projects that need funding. Just this past weekend, Newsday published an article about a denial of funding for the Bay Park Sewage Plant, a plant that [...]
"I believe casinos in upstate New York could be a great magnet to bring the New York City traffic up."
Governor Cuomo's declaration in this year's State of the State address would seem to suggest that upstate casinos would be built in transit-accessible locations. Less than half of New York City households own a vehicle, so "to bring the New York City traffic up" to casinos beyond the limits of Metro-North would ostensibly require some investments in transit.
Unfortunately, that doesn't look to be part of the plan. Too often, transit access, congestion and wear-and-tear on our roads are barely mentioned amidst the tax revenue ideology that accompanies economic development ventures. We've seen it before in New York, whether it's the Governor's effort to approve fracking, or the effort to lure New York City residents up to the Adirondacks (where there is no other option but to drive).
The June 30 deadline for casino applications brought 17 applicants vying for just four destination casino licenses in three upstate regions—the Catskills/Hudson Valley region, Eastern Southern Tier, and Capital Region. The final decision is expected to be made by the Gaming Facility Location Board, an appointed board with Cuomo-friendly appointees by the fall with casinos potentially opening as soon as 2015.
Some of the proposals submitted tout their proximity to public transit, while others propose significant expansions of the roadway system to bring customers directly to their door. Genting Americas is proposing a new Thruway Exit for a casino in Tuxedo, and Caesars Entertainment is offering to invest at least $20 million to improve traffic in the already burdened area near the proposed resort for Woodbury, "including funding a substantial portion of the long-delayed improvements to Exit 131 on the New York State Thruway."
2014 New York Legislative Session Wraps Up with Traffic Safety, PANYNJ Reform and Sneaky TZB Financing
It was an action-packed end-of-session for transportation advocates in Albany, with some squeaker wins as well as some disappointing losses which will no doubt be on next year's sustainable transportation wish list.
Lowering Speeds
A key victory this year came when the State Senate laid politics aside and granted New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio a key component of his Vision Zero plan: the authority to lower the default speed limit to 25 mph throughout the five boroughs.
Assemblymember Danny O'Donnell was an early and effective champion in the Assembly, but in the Senate, passage was less certain when election year politics entered into the negotiations.
After a concerted campaign from Transportation Alternatives and Families for Safe Streets, the first positive sign of forward progress for the bill came with three days left in the legislative session when Senator Jeffrey Klein introduced an amended bill (S.7892) that included input from community boards. Passage was certainly not assured especially as it became clear that Senator Dean Skelos was prepared to block the bill for personal reasons, and when Senator Andrew Lanza also indicated he was not inclined to support the legislation. Ultimately, consensus was reached and the bill is expected to be signed by Governor Cuomo. The City has already begun to discuss how to implement its new local control.
Governor Cuomo announced $75.6 million for 33 transportation projects across the state this week. The funding comes from the federal Highways Safety Improvement Program (HSIP), and projects were selected on a competitive basis. Over 60 percent of the projects announced will include some bicycle and pedestrian safety components, and all 13 projects selected in Long Island and New York City are focused on pedestrian and bicycling safety. Some projects that stand out:
This announcement represents a big win for New Yorkers for Active Transportation, a statewide coalition that has advocated for a "fair share for safety" over the last couple of years. While the Federal Transportation Law, MAP-21, slashed dedicated funding for bicycle and pedestrian projects by 30 percent (a $12 million reduction for New York), it did almost double the apportionment of HSIP funding—a potentially key source of funding for pedestrian and cycling safety infrastructure.
Do you drive a motor vehicle in New York State? Have you ever wondered:
Well, if you're curious, you won't find the answers in New York State's Driver's Education Manual. In fact, the 100+ page document only devotes two pages to "Sharing the Road" with bicyclists — a whopping 544 words, and 66 percent of those words are devoted to how bicyclists are supposed to act on the road, not drivers.
Contrast that with the fact that in 2012, over 60 percent of vehicle crashes with bicyclists in New York State were attributed to unsafe motorist behavior, and that pedestrians were involved in 25 percent of fatal motor vehicle crashes in the same year, more than twice the national average (11 percent). And while New York State does require a five-hour pre-licensing course and test before a new driver gets a license, the course curriculum and test are not required to address how vehicles can better navigate roads that are increasingly populated by vulnerable road users.
Leaders across New York united in an appeal to Governor Cuomo this week to correct a loophole in the Vehicle and Traffic Law that circumvents New York's home rule principles, and prohibits municipal leaders from making their streets safer. Over 50 mayors and supervisors representing communities in over half of New York's counties, along with the Association of Towns and the New York Conference of Mayors, have spoken with one voice to the Governor: give municipal leaders the ability to lower the speed limit in their communities.
The home rule concept allows local leaders to make local decisions about the health, safety and welfare of their communities. It is a bottom-up philosophy, embedded in the belief that local leaders know their communities best and that self-governance leads to better solutions. Unfortunately, when it comes to local roads, communities have to open their pocketbooks to pay for them, yet they do not have the authority to govern basic rules of them—like the speed limit.

Statement issued Monday by the Indiana Supreme Court:
The Steuben County Courts and Clerk are successfully operating a new 21st-century computer system called "Odyssey." Odyssey connects the county to a continually growing network of courts, clerks, law enforcement and other state agencies. There are currently 97 courts in 34 counties in the state using Odyssey.
The upgrade to Odyssey in Steuben County is part of the Indiana Supreme Court's effort to equip every trial court with a 21st-century case management system. Odyssey connects courts with each other, law enforcement, state agencies and makes court information available over the Internet at no charge.
With Odyssey, an estimated 5,300 new cases filed in Steuben County each year will be managed by a state-of-the-art computer system.
Circuit Court Judge Allen N. Wheat said, "My staff and I feel very fortunate to have this new case management system at our disposal. Attorneys and the public have expressed their appreciation for being able to track the progress of cases from their offices or homes, rather than having to make a special trip to the courthouse. This will revolutionize how the judicial branch does business."
Superior Court Judge William C. Fee pointed to the value of Odyssey, "We are a better, faster and far more accessible court system because of Odyssey. The positive impact is apparent in all aspects of court operations and benefits the legal community as well as those who have business with the courts."
Steuben County Clerk Shelly Herbert is pleased with the transition to Odyssey. "The transition from our legacy system to Odyssey went extremely smooth. There are so many wonderful aspects of Odyssey that our legacy system did not provide. This is a major upgrade for the Steuben County courts and clerk and making this change benefits the community of Steuben County."
Odyssey was first installed in ten Indiana courts on a pilot basis in December 2007 under the direction of the Indiana Supreme Court's Division of State Court Administration's Judicial Technology and Automation Committee (JTAC). Indiana Supreme Court Justice Frank Sullivan, Jr., who chairs JTAC, congratulated those involved in bringing Odyssey to Steuben County. "This is a major accomplishment and the people of Steuben County should be proud of the hard work done by Clerk Herbert and Judges
Wheat and Fee. Their staffs are to be congratulated as well. Having this advanced technology will mean better service for the county's citizens, will increase public safety because of its connections to lawenforcement, and because JTAC pays for the computer software, using Odyssey will save money for the county's taxpayers as well."
Courts pay no installation costs, training costs, license fees or annual maintenance costs for Odyssey.
Those costs are paid by JTAC from the proceeds of a court filing fee dedicated to the project by the General Assembly. Odyssey is designed to be implemented statewide and is being installed without disrupting everyday court business or closing Indiana courts. Currently, there are 22 different and unrelated court record management systems statewide and these systems do not communicate with each other.
For more information on the Indiana Supreme Court's technology projects visit courts.in.gov/jtac.

The radical feminism article relies far to heavily on one source Suggestion[edit]
Any interest in collaborating to remedy this? I notice the feminists in the See Also section are mostly radical or second-wave feminist authors; Dworkin, bell hooks, Gloria Steinem, Mary Daly. Is there any reason we can't improve and expand the article using their works as references, instead of relying mainly on the one source (Willis) for the entirety of the article? Ongepotchket (talk) 12:57, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
- @Ongepotchket, if they are the source of the thought, they would be a primary source if cited directly. Instead it makes more sense to use secondary sources with commentary from a critical distance, which should be plentiful for this topic. czar ♔ 14:02, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
- Agreed. Secondary sources should be plentiful, and are plentiful, which is why I am confused about one source being used for the majority of the article. If we expand the references a bit I think that would help to make the article more accurate. Ongepotchket (talk) 15:29, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
WaPo: Female-named Hurricanes[edit]
I´m not sure this is of any use for any feminism-related articles, but it was interesting, and I wanted to spread it. [1] Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 10:25, 4 June 2014 (UTC)
- I was thinking it might belong in the "naming" of hurricanes, noting in US any way change from all female to male and female names AND the difference. But don't have time for debating it right now myself. Carolmooredc (Talkie-Talkie) 15:17, 4 June 2014 (UTC)
Today's DYK[edit]
Just noticed this repugnant DYK that was just posted a half-hour ago:
- "...that an American serial killer said that he killed women before having sex with them because "I like peace and quiet"?"
How do misogynistic statements like this make it through four levels of approval in the DYK process and appear on the Main Page? DYKs are intended to draw in potential new readers and editors to Wikipedia's newest and most compelling content. Who is this factoid aimed at? Liz Read! Talk! 23:45, 4 June 2014 (UTC)
- Liz I'm not seeing it on the main page or the archives. Was it removed? I would f***ing hope so... EvergreenFir (talk) 02:28, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
- It was indeed pulled. Found where it's being discussed: Template_talk:Did_you_know#Articles_created.2Fexpanded_on_March_25. Comment here: Template:Did_you_know_nominations/Incidents_of_Necrophilia. Also here is where AndyTheGrump raised the alarm bells to get that shit off the front page. EvergreenFir (talk) 02:55, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
Wiki Loves Pride 2014[edit]
You are invited to participate in Wiki Loves Pride 2014, a campaign to create and improve LGBT-related content at Wikipedia and its sister projects. The campaign will take place throughout the month of June, culminating with a multinational edit-a-thon on June 21. Meetups are being held in some cities, or you can participate remotely. All constructive edits are welcome in order to contribute to Wikipedia's mission of providing quality, accurate information. Articles related to LGBT feminists may be of particular interest. You can also upload LGBT-related images by participating in Wikimedia Commons' LGBT-related photo challenge. You are encouraged to share the results of your work here. Happy editing! --Another Believer (Talk) 19:13, 6 June 2014 (UTC)
Gender roles in Afghanistan needs rewrite[edit]
The page recently survived an AFD, which served to highlight the flaws in the current version of the article: it's made up of a single public domain text and reads like an essay. I'm bringing this to the attention of the Afghanistan, Sociology, Gender studies, and Feminism Wikiprojects in order that the article can be improved by having more editors work on it.-- Brainy J ~✿~ (talk) 13:49, 18 June 2014 (UTC)
A draft at AFC needs some specialist attention[edit]
Please see Draft:Psychology's Feminist Voices, it looks notable but needs a thorough rewrite to be acceptable. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 18:52, 18 June 2014 (UTC)
Women and Wikipedia Study - Request for interviews, focus groups, etc.[edit]
Hi. I've been working on an interview-based research project about women and Wikipedia since January (initial project proposal) and recently received a WMF Individual Engagement Grant to continue the work (IEG proposal). If you're willing to participate in an interview or will be at Wikimania and would like to chat and/or take part in a focus group, please let me know. Also, if you'd just like to share your thoughts and opinions via email, I'd love to hear them. --Mssemantics (talk) 20:29, 29 June 2014 (UTC)
Gender bias task force[edit]
Wikipedia:WikiProject Countering systemic bias/Gender bias task force is looking for new members, and is currently holding an RM to rename it the Gender gap task force. This was started last year but didn't become active, so there's a renewed effort to get it going. All are welcome! SlimVirgin (talk) 00:54, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
Discussion about "she" for ships[edit]
There's a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style#A much gentler proposal about changing the Manual of Style to deprecate the use of "she" for ships. As it concerns the intersection of grammatical gender with actual gender, I thought some of you might be interested. --John (talk) 07:38, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
Sex differences in psychology[edit]
FYI, the article sex differences in psychology has been mostly rewritten by someone who appears to be a men's rights activist (and has been topic banned from articles related to men's rights). I haven't had time to take a look at it, but it would be nice if someone from this project could look at it and make sure it is still adhering to the NPOV and verifiability policies. Cheers! Kaldari (talk) 23:54, 12 July 2014 (UTC)
- Just from a quick look I would say a) he's jargoned it up a bit too much without defining terms in the text, to the point it's not too useful (I got a headache reading it the first couple sections and didn't read as carefully to end as might have otherwise); b) he's removed the ongoing nature-nurture debate and replaced it with jargon that may or may not be relevant; c) he probably has included a bias that biology is the far greater force determining bias, as if that is the established and unchallenged view. I suspect the consensus is, for example, closer to 40 bio/60 culture influence on male vs. female psychology as opposed to 70 bio/30 culture which his changes seem to suggest. As in so many articles, one really would have to have a good knowledge of the topic to know what might be missing and also do a reference by reference check to see if sources are accurately presented. Big job. Don't have time myself. Carolmooredc (Talkie-Talkie) 03:37, 13 July 2014 (UTC)
Feminist technoscience[edit]
Hey, all! I'm a male supporter of feminism, but haven't read that much on feminist theory. This article needs a lot more sourcing; but, while I have no doubt the concept that technology can influence women's place in society are fairly mainstream, but it's a little hard to tell if the framing of them, as set out in this article, and the term selected are mainstream. Talk page is somewhat ugly, so I thought it better to come here. Adam Cuerden (talk) 22:08, 14 July 2014 (UTC)
Proposal to delete categories involving literature by women.[edit]
There is a proposal to delete categories involving literature by women, including deleting Literature by African-American women, Literature by Asian-American women, Literature by Native American women, Literature by Hispanic and Latino American women. See discussion here: [link to discussion]. __ E L A Q U E A T E 23:33, 15 July 2014 (UTC)
Image for "Sex differences" template[edit]
I started a discussion at Template talk:Sex differences about the image used for that template. Please feel free to join the discussion if you have any opinions about it. Kaldari (talk) 20:18, 26 July 2014 (UTC)
|Statement of support for WikiProject Feminism: "Some of us dream"
Statement of support for WikiProject Feminism: "Some of us dream"[edit]
Brothers and Sisters. I am somewhat new to Wikipedia and completely new to this Wikiproject, but from what I've already read here, I feel very confident saying that you can consider me and rely on me to be a strong supporter of the goals of your Feminism WikiProject, especially as it relates to: 1) the history of feminism, ancient feminists (such as Siduri, Marie de France and Eleanor of Aquitaine), 2) concepts related to feminist philosophy, feminists and feminist work and essays, and 3) feminism as it relates to Wikipedia and potentially using this and the closely related Editor Retention WikiProject to help promote discussion of feminist issues such as the significant and continued LOSS of female editors from Wikipedia over the past few years to the point where women are now significantly under-represented, and whether or not there is actually even Wiki-consensus that this is a problem, and if so, what can be done about it.
Best, Jim
(TZsnip text here - wait for permission)
Will you and your colleagues here give me consensus permission to post the TZsnip text here for your review? The text was generated from multiple contributors but I myself am the only one using the Jim-Siduri Wikipedia account to post this TZsnip text, so my interpretation of WP:ROLE would make this snipped text insert within Wiki-regulations.

Wikipedia:Past Masters partnership[edit]
Hey All. At the Wikipedia Library, we just opened up a partnership with Intelex's Past Masters. Included in the partnership is access to scholarly editions of a number of Women Writers, including all of the scholarly apparatus that makes great source material for writing articles.

Article request: U.S.-Afghan Women's Council[edit]
Hello. Would some of you please consider creating a page on the U.S.-Afghan Women's Council, co-chaired by Laura Bush and Hillary Rodham Clinton? I think the page would be very useful, and very easy to find lots of references about it. I could create a stub, but I suspect some of you may be able to create a lengthier article. Let me know on my talkpage when you have created it. Thank you.Zigzig20s (talk) 10:17, 31 July 2014 (UTC)
New member[edit]
Hi. I just joined the project yesterday. I am going to create two new articles: Stop Porn Cultures and National Feminist Anti-Pornography Movement. Lightbreather (talk) 18:27, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

Obviously getting more women involved in Wikipedia, including to beef up womens and feminist articles, is a concern here. Wikimania 2014 in London has five workshops related to the gender gap during the August 8-10 programme. Not too late to sign up!

New section "Radical feminism and transgenderism" discussion[edit]
I invite folks to come discuss a recent addition of a section entitled "Radical feminism and transgenderism" to Radical feminism at this talk page section. Thank you! EvergreenFir (talk) Please {{re}} 20:47, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
Sara Jeannette Duncan[edit]
I've substantially improved the bio at Sara Jeannette Duncan but I'm going to struggle on the literary side of things. I'm posting this here and at the literature project in the hope that someone might be able to make a better job of it than I'm likely to do - there are plenty of sources out there, lit. crit. and otherwise, including at GBooks and JSTOR. Duncan was a Canadian who wrote mostly about Anglo-Indian society and had both a strong feminist angle and a Tariff Reform League-based interpretation of imperialism. I've got some bare bones in but I'm going to end up with far too many quotes unless someone with more clue can help out. Thanks. - Sitush (talk) 13:30, 8 August 2014 (UTC)
- Ah, the literature project won't touch it because it is out of scope; nor, for the same reason, will the Books project. I've left an amended version of the above message at the Biography project - see here. - Sitush (talk) 13:37, 8 August 2014 (UTC)
WP:RSN on Transadvocate use in BLP[edit]
Regarding article Radical feminism and comments about women. Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#Transadvocate_use_in_BLP.2C_etc. Carolmooredc (Talkie-Talkie) 16:12, 8 August 2014 (UTC)
- At WP:RSN you still haven't demonstrated what BLP you're talking about. Tutelary (talk) 14:42, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
- That issue was made even more clear for those who don't understand that BLP doesn't mean just a whole biographical article, but any mention of individuals. Carolmooredc (Talkie-Talkie) 16:06, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
Transwomen on Woman[edit]
Requesting a few people to scan Woman for cissexist and biological essentialist statements. I noticed today that it could use some improvement. The article is woefully lacking mentions of transwomen (only mentioned once). Currently discussion on talk page to include images of transwomen on page. EvergreenFir (talk) Please {{re}} 21:15, 8 August 2014 (UTC)

Affirmative consent[edit]
Would an expert on the subject care to add some more information to help balance the Affirmative consent article? Thanks. Yev Yev (talk) 15:51, 24 August 2014 (UTC)
Organized effort to vandalize pages[edit]
Warning to readers: transphobia, hate speech.
Admins and fellow users should be aware of an effort by users on gendertrender.wordpress.com to vandalize pages on WP related to transwomen, specifically Laverne Cox. Today, an IP editor posted a link to this webpage and made similar anti-trans remarks on Talk:War on Women. Link to page regarding effort: link here. Thank you to Ramendik for bringing this to our attention. EvergreenFir (talk) Please {{re}} 01:06, 26 August 2014 (UTC)
- The issue already has been dealt with as of several days ago. TheAnon IP is from a US House Representative address. This incident has been covered by mainstream media - see The hill, Raw Story, etc. But I guess they are back.
- The "warning" is a bit of hyperbole, since we'd have to search around history for whatever was written and quickly reverted on Cox article. (As opposed to the rather obvious use of "C*NT" word in various recent ANI and or Jimbo Wales talk page discussions.)
- Finally, re: the "War on Women" talk page, "gendertrender" itself obviously is not RS. However, the site often links to mainstream articles on the topic. Some of the issues they mentioned are gaining more mainstream attention. So at some point editors could bring them up in relevant articles with proper sourcing, if not in the "war on women" article, since the phrase would have to be used in a RS article. Carolmooredc (Talkie-Talkie) 01:44, 26 August 2014 (UTC)
- If users want to bring up valid issues using RS, that's fine. But the users on gendertrender appear only interested in changing wikipedia because of their bigotry. EvergreenFir (talk) Please {{re}} 01:48, 26 August 2014 (UTC)
- Actually, this header is inaccurate since it's readers of Gendertrender not necessarily the couple individuals involved. So let's not out people without evidence - or at all?? Carolmooredc (Talkie-Talkie) 01:59, 26 August 2014 (UTC)
- Carolmooredc what/who am I outing? I don't know if these are the same people as the USHOR IP editor(s) or not, but this hate group is clearly discussing disruptive edits. I see no problem in alerting the community to this. EvergreenFir (talk) Please {{re}} 02:28, 26 August 2014 (UTC)
- You are falsely alleging specific individuals (whoever runs/writes at) that website is doing vandalism. Do you know that those individuals have IP Addresses in Congress or those specific Addresses? And if by chance any of them did edit here and was not responsible for those edits, technically you'd be outing editors for something they did not do. In any case, accusing individuals of vandalism that has been discussed in news sources is tacky at best and libelous if they decided to claim libel. Carolmooredc (Talkie-Talkie) 02:55, 26 August 2014 (UTC)
- Carolmooredc WP:OUTING is related to posting personal info. I've not posted personal info. I never said that the members on that site are vandalizing, only that they appear to be planning to. I think I see your confusion now upon re-reading my original post. Let me reword: Today, an IP editor posted a link
edto this webpage and manymade similar anti-trans remarks on Talk:War on Women. One spelling error and a confusing choice of words. Better now? EvergreenFir (talk) Please {{re}} 03:23, 26 August 2014 (UTC)
- The point is your subject lines (here and at ANI) directly accuse specific individuals (whoever runs that site) of vandalism. You should shorten them to "Organized effort to vandalize pages" or at least say "From AnonIP at US House of Representatives" since that's where it comes from. Carolmooredc (Talkie-Talkie) 03:31, 26 August 2014 (UTC)

- apparently they tried. And, it does appear that the same user who did the other edits is involved. From the same thread on gendertrender:
- BEGIN QUOTE hearthrising Says: August 26, 2014 at 3:57 pm
- The "woman" page on Wikipedia seems to be locked for ordinary editors. Seems like there needs to be an agreement amongst high level editors to change anything on this particular page. Keeps the wrong kind of people from changing things. I'm surprised they allowed the female reproductive organ picture up there.My edits on Wikipedia generally get reversed quickly. I've tried to fix a lot of things, and some of my revisions stay, but I've decided this is not a good use of my time. Until mainstream opinions change about women's rights, this crap is going to continue. END QUOTE
- Curiouser and curiouser. Googling "hearthrising" gets a few commeons on blogs of a similar nature. Also, thanks for the locking. Ramendik (talk) 23:52, 26 August 2014 (UTC)
AfD Courageous Cunts[edit]
Here. Keeps getting re-listed. Carolmooredc (Talkie-Talkie) 12:57, 26 August 2014 (UTC)
History of women's rights in South Africa[edit]
The article is an unsourced POV essay and needs to be either blown up and rewritten or deleted. It can potentially become a very interesting article as it is an very complex topic inextricably bound up in social and historical factors such as colonialism, traditional African paternalism, racism, Apartheid, and democratization. If anyone here is willing to help fix it please join the discussion at WT:WikiProject South Africa#History of women's rights in South Africa. Thanks Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 08:56, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
