The End of Money
When the government pumps trillions of dollars into the economy, they're not actually printing the money. It enters as digital entries in banks across the country. It's made the system fast, responsive, and, unfortunately, vulnerable. Now our money is no longer something we hold in our hands, but something that exists on a very susceptible network.

U.S. and British intelligence agencies have successfully cracked much of the online encryption relied upon by hundreds of millions of people to protect the privacy of their personal data, online transactions and emails, according to top-secret documents revealed by former contractor Edward Snowden.
The files show that the National Security Agency and its UK counterpart GCHQ have broadly compromised the guarantees that Internet companies have given consumers to reassure them that their communications, online banking and medical records would be indecipherable to criminals or governments.
The agencies, the documents reveal, have adopted a battery of methods in their systematic and ongoing assault on what they see as one of the biggest threats to their ability to access huge swathes of Internet traffic — "the use of ubiquitous encryption across the Internet".
Those methods include covert measures to ensure NSA control over setting of international encryption standards, the use of supercomputers to break encryption with "brute force", and — the most closely guarded secret of all — collaboration with technology companies and Internet service providers themselves.
Through these covert partnerships, the agencies have inserted secret vulnerabilities — known as backdoors or trapdoors — into commercial encryption software.
The files, from both the NSA and GCHQ, were obtained by the Guardian, and the details are being published today in partnership with the New York Times and ProPublica. They reveal:
- A 10-year NSA program against encryption technologies made a breakthrough in 2010 which made "vast amounts" of data collected through Internet cable taps newly "exploitable".
- The NSA spends $250 million a year on a program which, among other goals, works with technology companies to "covertly influence" their product designs.
- The secrecy of their capabilities against encryption is closely guarded, with analysts warned: "Do not ask about or speculate on sources or methods."
- The NSA describes strong decryption programs as the "price of admission for the U.S. to maintain unrestricted access to and use of cyberspace".
- A GCHQ team has been working to develop ways into encrypted traffic on the "big four" service providers, named as Hotmail, Google, Yahoo and Facebook.

The agencies insist that the ability to defeat encryption is vital to their core missions of counter-terrorism and foreign intelligence gathering.
But security experts accused them of attacking the Internet itself and the privacy of all users. "Cryptography forms the basis for trust online," said Bruce Schneier, an encryption specialist and fellow at Harvard's Berkman Center for Internet and Society. "By deliberately undermining online security in a short-sighted effort to eavesdrop, the NSA is undermining the very fabric of the Internet." Classified briefings between the agencies celebrate their success at "defeating network security and privacy".
"For the past decade, NSA has lead [sic] an aggressive, multi-pronged effort to break widely used Internet encryption technologies," stated a 2010 GCHQ document. "Vast amounts of encrypted Internet data which have up till now been discarded are now exploitable."
An internal agency memo noted that among British analysts shown a presentation on the NSA's progress: "Those not already briefed were gobsmacked!"
The breakthrough, which was not described in detail in the documents, meant the intelligence agencies were able to monitor "large amounts" of data flowing through the world's fibre-optic cables and break its encryption, despite assurances from Internet company executives that this data was beyond the reach of government.
The key component of the NSA's battle against encryption, its collaboration with technology companies, is detailed in the U.S. intelligence community's top-secret 2013 budget request under the heading "Sigint [signals intelligence] enabling".

Funding for the program — $254.9 million for this year — dwarfs that of the Prism program, which operates at a cost of $20 million a year, according to previous NSA documents. Since 2011, the total spending on Sigint enabling has topped $800 million. The program "actively engages U.S. and foreign IT industries to covertly influence and/or overtly leverage their commercial products' designs", the document states. None of the companies involved in such partnerships are named; these details are guarded by still higher levels of classification.
Among other things, the program is designed to "insert vulnerabilities into commercial encryption systems". These would be known to the NSA, but to no one else, including ordinary customers, who are tellingly referred to in the document as "adversaries".
"These design changes make the systems in question exploitable through Sigint collection… with foreknowledge of the modification. To the consumer and other adversaries, however, the systems' security remains intact."
The document sets out in clear terms the program's broad aims, including making commercial encryption software "more tractable" to NSA attacks by "shaping" the worldwide marketplace and continuing efforts to break into the encryption used by the next generation of 4G phones.
Among the specific accomplishments for 2013, the NSA expects the program to obtain access to "data flowing through a hub for a major communications provider" and to a "major Internet peer-to-peer voice and text communications system".
Technology companies maintain that they work with the intelligence agencies only when legally compelled to do so. The Guardian has previously reported that Microsoft co-operated with the NSA to circumvent encryption on the Outlook.com email and chat services. The company insisted that it was obliged to comply with "existing or future lawful demands" when designing its products.
The documents show that the agency has already achieved another of the goals laid out in the budget request: to influence the international standards upon which encryption systems rely.
Independent security experts have long suspected that the NSA has been introducing weaknesses into security standards, a fact confirmed for the first time by another secret document. It shows the agency worked covertly to get its own version of a draft security standard issued by the US National Institute of Standards and Technology approved for worldwide use in 2006.
"Eventually, NSA became the sole editor," the document states.
The NSA's codeword for its decryption program, Bullrun, is taken from a major battle of the American civil war. Its British counterpart, Edgehill, is named after the first major engagement of the English civil war, more than 200 years earlier.
A classification guide for NSA employees and contractors on Bullrun outlines in broad terms its goals.
"Project Bullrun deals with NSA's abilities to defeat the encryption used in specific network communication technologies. Bullrun involves multiple sources, all of which are extremely sensitive." The document reveals that the agency has capabilities against widely used online protocols, such as HTTPS, voice-over-IP and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), used to protect online shopping and banking.
The document also shows that the NSA's Commercial Solutions Center, ostensibly the body through which technology companies can have their security products assessed and presented to prospective government buyers, has another, more clandestine role.
It is used by the NSA to "to leverage sensitive, co-operative relationships with specific industry partners" to insert vulnerabilities into security products. Operatives were warned that this information must be kept top secret "at a minimum".
A more general NSA classification guide reveals more detail on the agency's deep partnerships with industry, and its ability to modify products. It cautions analysts that two facts must remain top secret: that NSA makes modifications to commercial encryption software and devices "to make them exploitable", and that NSA "obtains cryptographic details of commercial cryptographic information security systems through industry relationships".
The agencies have not yet cracked all encryption technologies, however, the documents suggest. Snowden appeared to confirm this during a live Q&A with Guardian readers in June. "Encryption works. Properly implemented strong crypto systems are one of the few things that you can rely on," he said before warning that NSA can frequently find ways around it as a result of weak security on the computers at either end of the communication.
The documents are scattered with warnings over the importance of maintaining absolute secrecy around decryption capabilities.

Strict guidelines were laid down at the GCHQ complex in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, on how to discuss projects relating to decryption. Analysts were instructed: "Do not ask about or speculate on sources or methods underpinning Bullrun." This informaton was so closely guarded, according to one document, that even those with access to aspects of the program were warned: "There will be no 'need to know'."
The agencies were supposed to be "selective in which contractors are given exposure to this information", but it was ultimately seen by Snowden, one of 850,000 people in the U.S. with top-secret clearance. A 2009 GCHQ document spells out the significant potential consequences of any leaks, including "damage to industry relationships".
"Loss of confidence in our ability to adhere to confidentiality agreements would lead to loss of access to proprietary information that can save time when developing new capability," intelligence workers were told. Somewhat less important to GCHQ was the public's trust which was marked as a moderate risk, the document stated.
"Some exploitable products are used by the general public; some exploitable weaknesses are well known eg possibility of recovering poorly chosen passwords," it said. "Knowledge that GCHQ exploits these products and the scale of our capability would raise public awareness generating unwelcome publicity for us and our political masters."
The decryption effort is particularly important to GCHQ. Its strategic advantage from its Tempora program — direct taps on transatlantic fibre-optic cables of major telecommunications corporations — was in danger of eroding as more and more big Internet companies encrypted their traffic, responding to customer demands for guaranteed privacy.
Without attention, the 2010 GCHQ document warned, the UK's "Sigint utility will degrade as information flows changes, new applications are developed (and deployed) at pace and widespread encryption becomes more commonplace." Documents show that Edgehill's initial aim was to decode the encrypted traffic certified by three major (unnamed) Internet companies and 30 types of Virtual Private Network (VPN) — used by businesses to provide secure remote access to their systems. By 2015, GCHQ hoped to have cracked the codes used by 15 major Internet companies, and 300 VPNs.
Another program, codenamed Cheesy Name, was aimed at singling out encryption keys, known as "certificates", that might be vulnerable to being cracked by GCHQ supercomputers.
Analysts on the Edgehill project were working on ways into the networks of major webmail providers as part of the decryption project. A quarterly update from 2012 notes the project's team "continue to work on understanding" the big four communication providers, named in the document as Hotmail, Google, Yahoo and Facebook, adding "work has predominantly been focused this quarter on Google due to new access opportunities being developed".
To help secure an insider advantage, GCHQ also established a Humint Operations Team (HOT). Humint, short for "human intelligence" refers to information gleaned directly from sources or undercover agents.
This GCHQ team was, according to an internal document, "responsible for identifying, recruiting and running covert agents in the global telecommunications industry."
"This enables GCHQ to tackle some of its most challenging targets," the report said. The efforts made by the NSA and GCHQ against encryption technologies may have negative consequences for all Internet users, experts warn.
"Backdoors are fundamentally in conflict with good security," said Christopher Soghoian, principal technologist and senior policy analyst at the American Civil Liberties Union. "Backdoors expose all users of a backdoored system, not just intelligence agency targets, to heightened risk of data compromise." This is because the insertion of backdoors in a software product, particularly those that can be used to obtain unencrypted user communications or data, significantly increases the difficulty of designing a secure product."
This was a view echoed in a recent paper by Stephanie Pell, a former prosecutor at the U.S. Department of Justice and non-resident fellow at the Center for Internet and Security at Stanford Law School.
"[An] encrypted communications system with a lawful interception back door is far more likely to result in the catastrophic loss of communications confidentiality than a system that never has access to the unencrypted communications of its users," she states.
Intelligence officials asked The Guardian, New York Times and ProPublica not to publish this article, saying that it might prompt foreign targets to switch to new forms of encryption or communications that would be harder to collect or read.
The three organisations removed some specific facts but decided to publish the story because of the value of a public debate about government actions that weaken the most powerful tools for protecting the privacy of Internet users in the U.S. and worldwide.

SDE - software defined environment
A term coined by IBM for its "software-defined everything" vision. The company's Software-Defined Environments (SDE) group is the latest evolution of what first began as the Application, Integration and Middleware group inside the IBM Software group.
According to this eWeek article, IBM says "a Software-Defined Environment (SDE) optimizes the entire computing infrastructure – compute, storage and network resources – so that it can adapt to the type of work required. In today's environment, resources are assigned manually to workloads; that happens automatically in a SDE."
By dynamically assigning workloads to IT resources based on a variety of factors, including the characteristics of specific applications, the best-available resources, and service-level policies, a software-defined environment can deliver continuous, dynamic optimization and reconfiguration to address infrastructure issues.

The Central Role of Services in Economic Development: Externalities, Growth, and Public Policy
AbstractStrategic services play a pivotal, but largely unrecognized, role in the early growth and development of market economies. The failure to appreciate their importance at early stages of development has led to the selection of policies which often fail to support the growth of service industries, thus limiting the development of all sectors. It is well recognized that division of labor is a major source of economic development and growth. In this paper, strategic (or organizational) services are shown to be an integral part of this progressive division of labor, and therefore of development itself. In addition, strategic services generate positive externalities which affect all other sectors in the economy, and therefore create an opportunity for supportive public policies. These positive externalities are eventually overwhelmed by the negative effects of the service network congestion and rising average costs as the service industry matures. Industrialized countries are in a unique position to offer information concerning the evolution of services throughout the entire market development process from the early stages through maturity. The United States, having arguably traveled farthest down the road toward deregulation of its service industries, provides a particularly good case study for determining the role of services in market development as well as the evolution of public policy relating to services during the development process. An empirical study of forty years of U.S. service data supports the theoretical assertions regarding the early importance and the dynamic path of service industry development and therefore the changing policy prescriptions. The lessons are then applied to the case of developing countries.

kind staff
1.The bath was poorly laid out with no outlets for hair irons by the mirrors. 2. the bed had a bad spring that would stick us in the back. 3. The room had a stale odor that did not leave the three days we were there. 4. The floors were dirty.
The walking distance to the gaslamp and the affordable price....
Wifi didn't work properly
Breakfast And the flexibility for the late check out
The room wasn't clean completely every day. The elevator was also not so clean and fast.
Price was ok but would have paid more if I'd known what we were getting.
Floor was sticky and dirty. Room very bare feeling. Old TV. Just not a comfy room.
Good TV
The Bathroom was small.
Cost of parking 16 dollars night
Liked the downtown locale without a downtown price. Manager was kind with a comp. when our room wasn't ready on time.
Thin walls, loud neighbors, sand and yucky stuff under nightstand and beds' dust ruffle when we got into the room, so was never cleaned up between customers. Breakfast room was a disaster the second day we stayed there.
rumors we couldn't sleep all the night dirty
Location was my choice for what I was there for
Bathroom sinks were clogged up and cleaning staff did not even sweep my room once
The front desk staff knows that the hotel is noisy and overly-busy, but they are kind and professional when people complain.
1. Too much money for parking in the tiny lot where the car is in danger of getting dented every time someone gets out of an adjacent car. 2. The rooms have very little soundproofing. 3. THIS IS NOT A BUSINESS HOTEL- tailored for young college kids, 3-6 per room, who sing, drink, play loud music and stay up all night wandering around and smoking on the public balconies, calling down to their friends in the parking lot all night.
the bed makes noise everytime you move.
The late night staff was very friendly and accommodating to our late arrival time. The free continental breakfast was much better than at other motels. The room was much bigger than I thought it would be and it was very clean and comfortable.
The complimentary airport shuttle stops at 9pm - Booking.com didn't mention that on their site and when I called the motel to ask they didn't mention it either.
Excellent location, staff was very kind and helpful, comfortable bed
Nothing, I think is a good hotel for the value
Staff was very friendly and helpful.
Very basic room. No amenities like a pool or fitness. Air conditioner making too much noise at night.
Expensive in weekend
San Diego
Dirty pillow case, poor water pressure in the shower, no refrigerator in the room, having to park away from the room (and then having to pay to do it?!!?) The hotel should have this negotiated with the parking garage. This should be included with the room. It is not the traveler's fault that the hotel is very old and has not made modern parking accommodations for the amount of guests that are able to stay at one time. Too expensive for the quality of room. But that's supply and demand at work. Lesson learned.
The price !
good location, parking inside the hotel
small bathroom
The staff and how clean it was.
the water pressure on the shower
Friendly and kind staff, elevator acess to up floors. Clean room.
nothing special.
The staff were very unfriendly. No curtains on the windows. Noise from water pipes. Noise from people walking in the room above
The staff was very accomadating and helpful.
No lotion in rooms

Statement as issued Friday by Grissom Air Reserve Base:
GRISSOM AIR RESERVE BASE, Ind. – More than 470 Department of Defense civilian employees at Grissom Air Reserve Base will begin unpaid furloughs beginning the week of July 8. The furloughs for DOD employees are the result of congressional mandated budget cuts to federal agencies, including the DOD. The budget cuts, also known as sequestration, will trim more than $30 billion from the armed forces annual budget for fiscal year 2013.
At Grissom, DOD employees will take 11 unpaid furlough days between July 8 and September 30. According to the DOD, the unpaid furlough days will reduce pay for employees about 20 percent over the furlough period. In most instances, employees will be furloughed for one, eight-hour period each week for the remainder of the fiscal year. The days of the week in which furlough periods are taken will vary among employees based on mission requirements.
The DOD estimates the furlough will cost Grissom workers $1.5 million in salary, an average of more than $3,100 per worker. While the mandated furlough will affect most DOD employees at Grissom ARB, some workers deemed essential for the protection of life and property, such as security personnel, or those who are currently deployed overseas or who will be deployed later this year, are exempt.
The original furlough plan that was announced by the DOD earlier this year had called for 22 furloughs days. The number was reduced to 11 by Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel.
Grissom ARB is home to the 434th Air Refueling Wing, the largest KC-135 Stratotanker unit in the Air Force Reserve Command. The base's annual economic impact to the region is estimated at more than $149 million.

These are the perfect socks for hiking!
- Fit
- Support
- Warmth without weight
- Machine wash
- Should be air dried
- Pet fur clings tightly!
I love the snug feeling, without being over-tight. They have a supportive feel over the arch. Never stretch out. Even when wet, they remain warm without making the feet sweat.
I own several styles of Dahlgren alpaca socks, would recommend them all, except the short anklet style. The short anklet style runs small, tends to slide off the foot.
I have a pair of these socks. Excellent construction and they resist compression.

In association with
One of the Islington Council Poovers
By Chris Newbigging -
General news
08 December 2009 17:12
Think your bike is a bit crap? It's got nothing on this modified Honda SH125i used by Islington Council to wash and then suck up dog waste from pavements!
The 'Poover' has a topbox and a long tube which delivers first a jet of water to loosen the offending turd, and then a hoover mechanism sucks the mess away, saving sandal wearers everywhere dirty toes.
According to Islington Council, the Poover 'boasts' a 25-litre capacity. Personally, we wouldn't boast about carrying 25 litres of dog muck around, but it's providing a useful service nonetheless.
Cllr Ruth Polling, Islington Council's Executive Member for Leisure and Equalities, said of the Poover: "Islington residents have long made it very clear that promoting responsible dog ownership is a top priority for them.
"While many residents do the right thing and clean up after their pets, there are still some people who leave the mess behind which is unsightly and unpleasant.
"Our street sweepers work very hard, seven days a week and the Poover is another way Islington Council is tackling the issue."
Let's hope they don't leave the Honda unattended on the street - an oppurtunistic vandal could easily tweak the SH125i logo to read something far more rude...

Hazardous Waste?
Is there any type of licence that is required in order to lift dog poo in this manner (commercially)? This just doesn't seem correct.
What next?
10 December 2009 21:06
Since the person riding the Poover is also a rider, surely its more a case of one law for riders, and one for... erm... riders!
09 December 2009 22:20
The French
have had stuff like that for years to clean up after all their little ( and big!) poodles.
Perhaps they can follow the irresponsible owners home and pump it out over their garden gate!

Flight crews planning trips to Nigeria are being urged to verify fuel availability at Abuja Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport (DNAA) and at Lagos Murtala Muhammed International Airport (DNMM). On July 24 both airports were reported to be extremely short of jet-A. The reason for the shortage has not been identified, nor has the date when supplies might return to normal.
On a continent where an underdeveloped transportation infrastructure has long hindered economic growth, a virtual constellation of airports in Central East Africa might well warrant some reason for optimism. A 600-mile-long "Equator Cluster" of airports around Lake Victoria, in Entebbe, Uganda; Nairobi, Kenya; Dar es Salaam and Kilimanjaro, Tanzania; and Kigali, Rwanda, all support the growth of aviation traffic in the East African region.
The aerospace industries in Morocco and Tunisia still tend to be viewed as embryonic by some Westerners, but the North African countries are starting to capitalize on the desire by European companies to move production offshore and take advantage of the close proximity to these low-cost economies. Both countries have made a commitment to develop an investment framework promoting local jobs, and opportunities for international companies, and this is paying dividends with the constant creation of new aerospace concerns.
Marking a year of rapid growth since its launch at EBACE 2012, the African Business Aviation Association (AfBAA) announced this week at EBACE 2013 that it plans to stage a business aviation expo of its own next April in conjunction with the Marrakech Air Show. The expo and airshow will be held next April 23 to 26 at Marrakech Menara Airport.
AfBAA's expo will cover 540,000 sq ft, providing room for exhibit booths, aircraft static displays and chalets.
Angola's booming economy, which saw 10-percent growth in gross domestic product last year driven largely by new oil discoveries and reconstruction after the southwest African country's long civil war, is driving a rapid expansion in business aviation activity. In response, local handling and aircraft management group Bestfly has opened the country's first real FBO at Luanda International Airport. It is building a 21,500-sq-ft hangar that it expects will be ready in July.
Business aviation traffic at Lagos International Airport has increased almost three-fold over the past couple of years, according to Evergreen Apple Nigeria, which opened the west African country's first purpose-built FBO in 2011. According to managing director and CEO Segun Demuren, average monthly movements numbered 82 in 2011, but that number this year stands at 220. Now the company competes with ExecuJet Aviation, which opened its own facility at the airport last year.
Nigeria's Civil Aviation Authority is expected to issue new regulations governing business and private aviation that, for the first time, are separate from those covering commercial air transport. Pending introduction of the new policy, which could be issued within two or three months, the government has temporarily suspended the importation of business aircraft.
A twin-turboprop Fokker 50 was destroyed after it crashed on March 4 into a residential area approximately four miles short of the runway at Goma Airport (FZNA) in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. The accident killed six of nine people aboard the Compagnie Africaine d'Aviation (CAA) airlines aircraft. CAA is one of dozens of Congolese airlines banned from flying within European Union airspace over safety concerns.
Regional airlines serve a vital purpose all over the world even where they mix with low-cost carriers. The regionals can serve areas the low-costers cannot reach–or so goes a well known European beer advertisement. Thin routes mean smaller aircraft and services more akin to business aviation flights than those for holiday-makers.
Business aircraft movements at Lagos-based Evergreen Apple Nigeria have more than doubled from a year ago to an average of 15 daily movements. Flights arriving at the African FBO are predominantly coming from Europe as business executives enter Nigeria. Arrivals from the Middle East are also increasing, it added. Driving the growth is expansion of the oil and gas energy industries, which have attracted renewed interest from European companies.

By Ashley Conroy - email
JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) - In Governor Haley Barbour's Executive Budget Recommendation, he outlined several areas where he thinks the state will save money for FY 2012.
"I do call for this one year of not having the step pay raise for school teachers," Barbour said during his press conference about the report on Monday.
The governor also announced that funding would be "level" for the Mississippi Adequate Education Program (MAEP).
This means that school districts and other education areas across the state would see the same amount as in FY 2011.
However, his report also outlines other avenues to eliminate spending in the state.
For instance, by proposing a "Pay-for-Performance" where teachers would earn their salary based on student test scores.
Cecil Brown, House Education Chairman, says how well a student learns in class isn't always about how well a teacher performs.
"Does the teacher have the resources for example, do they have enough books they've been given, do they have enough computers that they need," Brown said. "There's a lot more to measuring performance other than just saying what kids score on a test."
Gov. Barbour is also proposing to the Legislature to consider consolidating the state's 152 school districts to 100.
However, in the report, it is not clear how much the state would save or what districts would be consolidated.
"We shouldn't start with the hammer that says we're going to eliminate school districts, because it just doesn't make any sense," Brown said. "I'd like the Governor to give me a list of 50 he wants to eliminate."
For education advocates like the Parents Campaign, they say it's about quality education for students.
Nancy Loom, Executive Director, says whether the Legislature agrees with the Governor's proposals or not, they're asking all options be considered.
"We hope that legislators will look under every rock and consider every option that available to them," Loom said. "In order to position Mississippi to recover well from this recession we need an educated populous, and right now we are headed backward."
Meantime, the Legislature will consider these options when the session begins in January.

Artist Achim Lengerer works with questions of language that he either thematizes in his performances or spatializes within his installations.
In the last years Lengerer founded different collaborative projects such as freitagsküche in Frankfurt/Berlin and voiceoverhead, a collaboration with
artist colleague Dani Gal.
Since 2009 Lengerer runs the travelling showroom and instant publishing house Scriptings. Scriptings functions as a discursive platform parallel
and additional to Lengerer's projects. Artists, writers, graphic-designers, performers as well as publishers are invited – all of which are working
with the formats of "script" and "text" within their processes of production. Lengerer is currently researching on the 'rehearsal' as an artistic method as well as socio-political format at Goldsmiths, University of London, UK.
On Monday evening, Scriptings will open the exhibition and launch issue #37 Wir haben gut reden (in German language) by Florian Wüst, which is part of Scriptings' ongoing research on German author Peter Weiss. The same evening will introduce the first gesture in the year long collaboration with Emma Haugh, a gradual process of editing her issue #41 The re-appropriation of sensuality. Please join us, followed by a little barbecue outside. Hope to see you!
TIME: 7.00 pm
OPENING: Monday 14.July 2014
EXHIBITION: 15.July-31.August 2014
PLACE: Scriptings / Kamerunerstr.47 / 13351 Berlin
#37 Florian Wüst Wir haben gut reden, 2005/2014
Florian Wüst, Gruppe 47 in Princeton: Whig Hall, 2014
Wir haben gut reden (Studies on the political subject #3) appropriates debates and discussions amongst West German authors in the mid 1960s about the question of the political engagement of the artist and intellectual. The author and playwright Peter Weiss and his relation to the Gruppe 47(yearly gatherings of German-speaking authors, publishers and critics) play a central role in the work that comprises a large-scale wall drawing and video. Weiss' political statements and his embrace of socialism can't be separated from his precarious identity as a German-Jewish expatriate living in Stockholm who faced feelings of alienation and exclusion incessantly. Notebook entries of Weiss, polemics by Hans Magnus Enzensberger or Martin Walser serve as historical materials for the scenes shot on video with an actor in a sparsely furnished room. The collage-like mise en scène of images and text in Wir haben gut reden creates a complex narrative about the ambivalent relationship between thought and action, art and politics in the divided world of the 20th century.
Florian Wüst is a visual artist and film curator based in Berlin who frequently lectures and writes about topics related to film, society and modern technical progress. www.fwuest.com
#41 Emma Haugh The re-appropriation of sensuality:
A gestural fragment, Holly, Aileen & Emma
Emma Haugh The re-appropriation of sensuality, Workshop #02 - Municipal imagination room, Born to Burn Theatre Co. & Emma Haugh, 2014
Emma Haugh (Dublin, Ireland, 1974) lives and works in Dublin and Berlin. In her work she applies a combination of visual arts and theater practices, employing a questioning approach towards photographic documentation and representation. Performativity is explored as a technique of critical embodiment and activation based on engagement in specific social situations and communities where work becomes co-authored. Emma has been working with theatre and photography for fifteen years. Her specialisation in Augusto Boals Theatre of the Oppressed has become central to her current working methodologies. http://www.emmahaugh.com/

For getting to know each other
I would love to have a coffee with my date....take some time to talk & get to know one another. Maybe we could take a walk somewhere quiet....how about a trip to a museum? I'm open to anything really.
Coffee in a nice cafe and maybe a walk around a nice neighborhood. Something sorta casual and pressure free.
Some place quiet and perhaps with some greenery. I love the out doors and I like being low keyed on a first date
I think meeting at a public place is a must.
Coffee or beverage of choice and conversation
Meet somewhere for an iced tea and conversation
A first meeting should be fairly short; no more than an hour. If we hit it off then the anticipation of meeting again will be sweet to enjoy.
Go out for dinner,movie and a nice walk.
Whatever that person wants to do I'm open for any Ideas.
Meeting over coffee and see what happens from there
I'm up for anything surprise me

[Note by JasonB, 01/29/12 10:41 PM EST ] There's no doubt that this would be more compelling than the actual Pro Bowl.
Watching the sloppy, pointless Pro Bowl I suddenly had a great idea: the UnPro Bowl. Just like the Pro Bowl, fans vote for the worst starters in the league at every position, and they face each other in an AFC/NFC matchup. Just like the Pro Bowl, the winning team gets paid a big bonus.
What's the appeal? Since these players are presumably the worst starters in the league, they probably need the money. They'd work hard. Well, some of them. It would also serve as a real test of which conference is better that year. And it would be hilarious.Other rules:
- Coaches would come from the team in each conference with the fewest wins, assuming he hadn't been fired.
- It would be held in whatever city is rumored to be losing their team. Tiebreaker goes to the oldest stadium. If no team is moving, it goes to the city with the most blackouts.
- The lowest-rated major network broadcasts the game.
- The booth team would be Jon Gruden with Joe Theismann and Matt Millen. Vegas would lay odds on how long it took Gruden to stop being relentlessly positive. If the network has to bleep him or he's obviously drunk, you'd get rich with a decent-sized bet.
- To encourage people to buy tickets, fans would be allowed to throw food onto the field at any player or coach.
- Also to encourage ticket sales, the losing team would have to run a gauntlet of fans with paintball guns to leave the stadium.
Any other rule ideas? Nominees for starters?
