Oct. 03--The government might be partially shut down, but life goes on in the Midland Empire. This weekend's entertainment best bets include the sci-fi-thriller "Gravity," a film festival at Foster's and the Josephine Expo at Civic Arena.
In theaters: The first ballyhooed Oscar contender of the year hits theaters on Friday. Alfonso Cuaron directed "Gravity," which is being hailed by critics for its stunning visuals as well as tremendous performances by Sandra Bullock and George Clooney, who star as a medical engineer and an astronaut who must work together to survive after a shuttle accident leaves them adrift in space. "Runner Runner" also comes to theaters on Friday. In the movie, Justin Timberlake plays a poor college student who cracks an online poker game but gets swindled and arranges a face-to-face with the man he thinks cheated him, a sly offshore entrepreneur played by Ben Affleck.
The Shakespearean classic: "A Midsummer Night's Dream" -- Shakespeare's magical romantic comedy about confused lovers, warring fairies and terrible actors set against a moonlit forest on a midsummer night -- will open tonight (Oct. 3) at Missouri Western's Potter Hall Theater. Performances on Oct. 3, 4, 5, 10, 11 and 12 will start at 7:30 p.m. Performances on Oct. 6 and 13 will be at 3 p.m. For more information about the play, check out St. Joe Live in Friday's edition of the News-Press -- online at stjoelive.com.
Brass appeal: Fanfare and a special guest ensemble will get the spotlight treatment in the Saint Joseph Symphony's season-opening concert "Brilliance of Brass" at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at the Missouri Theater. The multiple-award-winning and audience-friendly Fountain City Brass Band will join the orchestra at the concert. The program will include "Olympic Fanfare and Theme" by John Williams, "The Fanfare to New Atlantis" by Alan Hovhaness, "Sinfonietta" by Leos Janacek and "The Pines of Rome" by Ottorino Respighi.
Films at Foster's: It might not be Sundance, but it's definitely cool, new and unique for St. Joseph. Foster's Wine and Martini Bar will host the inaugural Foster's Film Festival starting at 7 p.m. Saturday. Over the course of three hours, 10 short films will be shown: "Knapper" and "Unfortunate" by Kelsey Houser, "Hangdog" and "Lift" by Kieran Valla, "Kalifornija" and "For Abigail, Love Benjamin" by Tomas Vengris, "Finding Johnny" by Justin Leyba, "Deevil Kneevil" by Kallie Hartigan, "My Boy Rob" by Chance Parsons and "Children of Immy Yethu" by Courtney Hopkins. An awards ceremony will follow at 10 p.m.
Music at the Expo: The Josephine Expo will be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday at Civic Arena. And although most of the ladies will attend to peruse the booths, shop the various wares, enjoy local food or take in a fashion show, the expo also will feature four solid local music acts. Therapeutic singer/songwriter Stephanie Glenn will kick off the music at 10 a.m., and local bluegrass band Whiskey for the Lady will follow at 11 a.m. The indie folk band Eyelit will ring in the afternoon with a performance at 1 p.m., and roots and rock band The Wood Pile will wrap things up at 3 p.m.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Kentucky star transfers
KENTUCKY junior power forward Kyle Wiltjer made it official: He's transferring to Gonzaga, CBS Sports and ESPN.com first reported.
The news was confirmed to the Louisville Courier-Journal by a person with knowledge of the situation who requested anonymity because the enrollment had not been made official yet.
Wiltjer and Wildcats coach John Calipari released oddly-worded statements last month saying Wiltjer was considering a transfer -- but also might stay.
In his earlier letter to fans, Wiltjer said after his experience on the Canadian national developmental team this summer, where he shined in international competition, he wanted "a more significant role" in college and "I recognize that my new and adjusted goals require me to make some very difficult upcoming decisions."
Wiltjer, a 6-10 long-range shooting specialist, is 15th on Kentucky's career three-point percentage list (.390) and sank 90 threes in two seasons with the Wildcats. He averaged 7.3 points and 2.8 rebounds at Kentucky and was the Southeastern Conference's sixth man of the year in the 2012-13 season.
Vilanova steps down, thanks fans
BARCELONA, Spain -- Tito Vilanova thanked Barcelona, its players and fans for "five wonderful years" on Saturday, a day after the club announced he was stepping down to fight his recurring throat cancer.
Vilanova wrote in an open letter on Barcelona's website "the moment has arrived to face a change in my professional life and dedicate my energies and efforts to following a treatment for an illness doctors diagnosed a year and a half ago."
Vilanova had previously twice been obliged to take a medical leave after consecutive surgeries to remove tumors from a saliva gland.
Barcelona said it will name his successor next week with the Spanish league set to start on Aug. 17.
"These are difficult times for me and my family," he wrote. "Now that I am stepping down as Barcelona's coach I hope to have the tranquility and privacy that I and my family need so much at this moment."
Vilanova said he was resigning because his doctors told him the new treatment he will pursue was incompatible with the "responsibilities of the first team coach."
He said he would, however, continue "working for this club that I love so much in other areas of sports operations" without specifying his role.
Lambeau Field can now hold 80,750
WHEN it comes to playing with the big boys, the Green Bay Packers can compete with the best of them.
They've proven that on the field by winning more NFL championships than any other team. And they've done themselves proud off the field with the development of the money-making machine known as Lambeau Field.
Although Green Bay is the smallest city in professional sports by far, its stadium now has the third-largest seating capacity in the NFL.
With the completion of yet another Lambeau expansion, the Packers will play home games in front of capacity crowds of 80,750. That's a staggering number for a city with a population of just more than 104,000, and a far cry from the 32,500 capacity when Lambeau opened in 1957.
FedEx Field in Landover, Md. (85,000), home of the Washington Redskins, has the largest seating capacity in the NFL. MetLife Stadium (82,566) in East Rutherford, N.J., home of the New York Giants and Jets, ranks No. 2.
The Packers reported record revenue and profits this week, and their decision to add 7,000 seats to Lambeau beginning this season was shrewd and economically sound.
The team is coming off a remarkable two-decade run of success, and the Packers' season ticket waiting list hovers just above 100,000.

We are allowed to carry personal cellphones on duty. But, they must be silenced or on stimulate. Personnaly I rather the dept. put an issued one in each rig and ban the personal ones. Nothing like seeing one of you guys on the news chatting away staring at the sky and carrying on an obviously personal conversation! But here is value in having a backup communication and as the duty officer I use mine all the time to speak with RP's, alarm or sprinkler service contractors and dispatch for the details we don't want to air.
The thing that's really annoying to me is now guys won't even get up and out of the lazy-boy (gives it a whole new meaing) to answer their phones so I got to hear about "snookums" bad day at work and how the kids are acting up, and what she should get for dinner, etc. Overall the personal calls and phones are a degradation of the close knit company. Now guys disapear for long periods talking to the wife, the girlfriend and the wife's girlfriend. They answer calls at the dinner table, take calls after 2100 (FD business line rule) and overall are more involved in their private life than the job.

I am seeing a cell phone problem on my department. The trouble isn't so much having members of the department use them while on calls but using them during training. My department likes to do a lot of hands-on practical training and I have yet to see a hose drill or some othe drill take place without someone with a cell phone attached to his ear. As a lieutenant, I have mentioned this in our weekly officer's meetings and seem to get ignored. As a fellow firefighter, I am concerned that the person who may be backing me up in a real-life emergency situation was too busy on his cell phone during training to do his job. I'm a lieutenant on a 25 member paid on-call department. Is my next step to document these incidents myself and take them to our city council or just pray that I don't get killed because someone couldn't pay attention in training?

60s stars rock up for Amersham fundraiser
10:24am Monday 10th March 2014 in News By Andy Carswell, Reporter
JERRY Lee Lewis's sister and two chart topping acts from the 60s lead the bill at the Amersham Rock 'n' Roll club's latest fundraising concert this weekend.
Linda Gail Lewis will be jetting into along with her band Some Like It Hot and her high-octane rocker of a daughter, Annie-Marie.
Between them they will be going plenty of old favourites from the 60s, with hits such as Great Balls Of Fire, Big Black Cadillac, Blue Suede Shoes, Shake, Rattle and Roll, and many more.
Joining the Lewis clan on stage will be a pair of British chart toppers - John Leyton, best known for his hit Johnny Remember Me, and Mike Sarne who went all the way to number one with Come Outside, which featured actress Wendy Richard playing the part of the girl he was trying to woo.
The Amersham Rock 'n' Roll Club stages shows in aid of two Bucks-based charities, the Rennie Grove Hospice Care and the Scannappeal hospital charity.
Tickets for Saturday's show at the Raans Road club are £15 each and are available from The Record Shop in Hill Avenue, Amersham, and by calling 01494 433311.

Emile Durkheim, his Principles of Sociology,
and their Effects on Society Today.
Liz Gamble
The idea of the 'whole' being greater and different than of the sum of its parts, anomie or normlessness, the concept that religion is equal to society and the sacred and the profane, are all contributions of Emile Durkheim who is known as a founder of Modern Sociology (Collins, 1994). These concepts built a foundation for the field of Sociology, and are still being used today by Robert Merton and others. Durkheimian traditions are primarily established as Sociological, sometimes Criminological because his principles apply over the whole of society, including its deviant aspects. Durkheim drew in theory from the Conflict ideologies of Karl Marx (1818 – 1883), and of Auguste Compte (1798 – 1857) who is considered the Father of Sociology. The Durkheim Era contributed in a major way to expand the perspective of the Social discipline by taking it to a new level when he applied scientific and empirical research. (http://www.nccu.edu/~huang/ch2101a.htm)
Until Durkheim's work, social science was not studied empirically. Durkheim transferred his academic success from the university into his Sociological research. This approach alone gained him a respected position in the field. Durkheim introduced the theory of Structural/Functionalism early in his career, and this theory would prove as a foundation for other principles as well. Anomie, which was developed a few years later opened the doors for other principles and objectives of Sociology, branching into the recent field of Criminology. Durkheim subscribed to the Macro-Sociological ideology, rather than the Micro, which was made popular with Weber in symbolic interaction. Durkheim declared that he would leave the individual perspective up to the psychologists because his interests lay in the total picture, not the individual parts. He did not combine the disciplines of Anthropology and Sociology either, but kept them separated in his research, and he used the scientific method of analysis with both. It was these principles and concepts concerning his study and research of society that earned him the title of "Founder," as this empirical view was a new perspective for the social sciences.
Durkheim wrote four major works, the Division of Labor (1893), Suicide (1897), The Elementary Forms of the Religious Life (1912), and The Rules of Sociological Method (1895), and it is from these that we draw his essential principles and building blocks that Durkheim had to offer the social sciences.
This paper will examine the foundations of Durkheim's theories and traditions, and also discuss their relative importance to the field, and in our modern day society. The dichotomy that is found between his personal life and some of his ideologies, is very interesting, and is worth noting, one example being his Jewish upbringing and then compared to his later theory on religion, where he states that 'god is equal to society.' This paper will also examine the person of Emile Durkheim, as the founder of significant traditions that are even 100 years later being used to define society.
In order to understand the theory with more clarity, let's first look at the founding theorist of Structural/Functionalism, Anomie and the other ideologies mentioned.
David Emile Durkheim was born on
By the time Durkheim arrived in
This gave Durkheim honor and prestige, and also a platform from which he was able to launch his theories. He now had the liberty to express his concepts to virtually every student that went through hic classes and the university. This position also gave him enormous power in the field of Sociology while continuing to make him a substantial figure in the academic field.
Durkheim's viewpoints were anything but conservative and stable. His "science of morality" offended philosophers, his "science of religion" offended Catholics, and his appointment to the Sorbonne offended those on the political Right (Collins, 1994). Durkheim was an educated radical, and was afforded an influential academic outlet in order to demonstrate his viewpoints to extremely large audiences. The difference in his approach towards research was that he treated Sociology as he did any other science, such as biology, astronomy, economics, etc. and it was this approach that originally gained him notoriety in the field, and then kept him there. Evaluating empirical data was a novel approach for the social sciences, but was greatly needed in order for the discipline to be considered professional and equal to the other disciplines. This perspective was probably the greatest contribution of Durkheim's.
Durkheim wrote his four major works relatively soon after graduating from college, and this was good because his death came early, at the relatively young age of 57, due to natural causes (http://www.iejs.com/Criminology/anomie_and_strain_theory.htm). His principles have survived and even thrived since his death, as today we continue to draw upon his structures and principles. Robert Merton is an excellent example of how Durkheim's theories have passed through the age because Merton's theory of Anomie was taken directly from Durkheim's perspective, yet is still a major theory in the structure of our society, both in the fields of Criminal Justice and Sociology. Durkheim's function of symbolism in society, similar to the sacred and profane theory, still remains prevalent in the 21st century, and his concept of "the sum of the parts being larger than the whole" that was defined in the 19th century as the Structural/Functionalist theory, is continually demonstrated today. These demonstrate the significance of Durkheim's philosophies and how they are continuing to play a significant part in our society's growth and research almost a hundred years after his death.
Durkheim's Basic Theories:
Durkheim has made such monumental and foundational contributions through study and research that would take volumes to thoroughly discuss his Traditions. Durkheim is best known for his development of an holistic and functionalist approach in sociology. Holism is an approach which stresses that sociology should focus on and study large social processes and institutions. Functionalism is an approach which aims to discover the roles these institutions and processes play in maintaining a social order. Durkheim's central objective was to give Sociology a professional and scientific standing comparable with other traditional 'natural' sciences such as Biology, Anthropology, and Astronomy, it wass this perspective which deservedly attributed him the title "Founder of Sociology". Having been educated in the best schools, and having an extremely high standing in the academic world, though, he used the manner of research that he was accustomed to and had been taught. He applied this professionalism to the discipline, accelerated its acceptance into the academics.
As a by-product of conducting research scientifically, Durkheim also introduced the idea of "irrefutable facts" to the social sciences. Those being the facts and concepts in the social arena that were reduced to their lowest, most basic form, such as "prime numbers" are in mathematics. The three types of irreputable facts as he saw it were:
1) the facts relevant to the "social organism"- or the environment. 2) the social facts underlying the institutions – such as the family, education and state. 3) the facts relating to the collective representations, or the moralities and values of the society. These are the most basic categories as Durkheim viewed them (www.sociologyonline.com).
The next innovative principle of Durkheim, following the irrefutable facts was the Macro-Sociological perspective in which he viewed society as "the whole being greater than the sum of all its parts." He looked at society as being a "whole living organism" where social phonomena maintained an ongoing social system; it was not stationary or stagnant (www.sociologyonline.com). By observing the whole, and the functions of the 'parts' or groups sepaprately, Durkheim could show how they natuarally worked towards the better good of the entire organism, and he this was the Structural/Functionist Theory. This principle is in direct opposition to the preceding Marxist era which stated that society consisted of specific, organized segments which remained in competition with each other and they would always be in that state. http://www.nccu.edu/~huang/ch2101a.htm .
Durkheim's theories actually did utilize Marxist and Weber concepts, though, building on their basic theory that there are different segments of society. The difference was that Durkheim suggested that these parts are constantly changing and in perpetual motion within the totality of the structure. One of the reasons that Durkheim has remained so inflential through the years, is because this original Macro-ideology defines our culture so extremely well. Our entire population comprises the whole, the living organism, and the parts, groups, and cultures are the subsets, and are a continually changing and changing position. As Sociologists observe how they are working together within our society. Amazingly enough, Durkheim used tribes in Africa, at the turn of the 19th century, for his social studies and research to illustrate this and it seems incredible that the basic principles apply today in the 21st century America.
The question Durkheim is concerned with in Macro-Sociology is, "How do these forces, groups and structures impact behavior?" whereas Weber and other Micro-Sociologists theorized, "How is human behavior impacting society?" (Collins, 1994) The principle that Society is an organic entity, and is slowly evolving in a natural and gradual process, definitely still is applicable today in the United States and other cultures around the world. This theory also gives us a Global perspective applicable to today.
Another significant contribution to the way society is viewed, is Durkheim's theory of Anomie. Durkheim first expresses this concept in his work, the Division of Labor written in 1893. "Anomie" means disorder due to the absence of rules; alienation and purposelessness, emphasizing that this state is a social disorder because it results in confused and unclear expectations of the behaviors of others. (http://home.comcast.net/~ddemelo/crime/anomie.html) In the DOL, he originates the concept of normlesseness, as it created anomie among the members, by observing that the father away from the center structure they moved, the greater the anomie, and Durkheim theorized that this was because those involved became unsure who to trust or what was happening. This indicated that the "rules" on how people ought to behave with each other were breaking down, and thus people did not know what to expect from one another. This theory is not to be confused with anarchy which is chaos and rebellion without authority.
One reason why this theory of anomie was accepted into the field of Criminology, was by research accomplished from the perspective of anomie. This is a foundational theory in explanation of deviance, especially with juveniles, in our inner cities today. The principles of solidarity are also accepted and widely used in research in Criminal Justice. (http://www.iejs.com/Criminology/anomie_and_strain_theory.htm)
In his second, but possibly more popular work, Suicide(1897), Durkheim uses the definition of Anomie to describe moral deterioration. It appears that he uses the socially unacceptable topic of Suicide and its extreme reactions, to bring more definition to the theory of anomie by comparing the methodology involved to this immoral subject. (http://www.relst.uiuc.edu/durkheim/Summaries/suicide.html)
He had already established and formulated the general theory of Anomie in DOL, and now he was taking his study to a new level, or improving upon himself! This ideology could be part of the dichotomy of his thinking that was referrred to earlier. It is possible, but not proven, that anomie finds its roots in his religious up-bringing because this state would be the exact opposite of a strict, religious childhood; hence, strict structure > total rebellion (or radical behavior). Durkheim's actions of rebellion from his childhood upbringing would fall in line with his other radical attitudes in his adulthood. But we will never know for sure.
Ironically, from this theory of Anomie and Structural/Functionalism came another favorite concept of the Durkheim perspective, and that is - "solidarity". Solidarity is the unity of concepts and principles, or a common fellowship, which displays itself as the opposite ideology to Anomie. Durkheim is successful at bringing the two concepts together in useful harmony, and the truth in both of these concepts is definitely used in categorizing segments of our American society today. For example, look at the solidarity of certain political, environmental and social groups, and then compare their characteristics and goals with those juvenile groups involved in delinquent lifestyle where anomie triumphs and manifests as gang wars, violence, drug trafficking, crime, etc. in the "low-rent districts", less united communites. http://home.comcast.net/~ddemelo/crime/anomie.html
There are two types of solidarity defined by Durkheim, and they are mechanical solidarity and the organic solidarity. Mechanical solidarity is the type derived from the early societies where all people would strive to be alike, in dress, speech, etc. The Organic solidarity is the ideology that compared a more advanced society structure to a living organism made up of different functioning groups. Durkheim originally developed this ideology because at the same time in history, in Biology, the single cell organism was being researched, and Durkheim compared that to this structure of society.
This "bi-polar" type relationship in the solidarity/anomie concepts seem to be the basics of the deviance in our societies today. If Sociologists could study these situations and compare them more completely, answers might be found to some of the major sociological problems which we have in modern day society, and as yet, have found no structure or pattern to.
The concepts of religion, the sacred and the profane, and sacred rituals and magic provide the foundational concepts of Durkheim, the Sociologist. He found Religion to hold a most prominent place in society. The Elementary Forms of Religious Life (1912) was written relatively later in his life and it is here where Durkheim revealed his principles and beliefs in this area. He stated that it was Religion which provided a sense of order and meaningfulness, and therefore brought about a sense of collective consciousness in the society (www.sociologyonline.com). In other words, he meant that the function of Religion was to bring solidarity to a society, by common beliefs, rituals, and symbols. Keep in mind that Durkheim was doing his research with African Tribes in 1900 (Collins,1994) and the concept of magic was also included in this ideology, because Durkheim considered the two so similar in their function within their community, and The primary function both was to provide a solidarity to the Group. This same theory and purpose holds true today as Religion provides this function.
This is where Durkheim took the concept one step farther. He believed that the function of Religion was the worship not of 'god', but of "society" itself! Individuals were said to be using rituals and religion in their own unique collective experiences and activities, whereas for Durkheim, `god' was simply a metaphor/emblem/symbol for society. (www.sociologyonline.com). This entire concept appears to be in direct opposition to the way he was raised. Nonetheless, these basic principles form the foundation and the function of collective consciousness and group solidarity.
In order to bring cohesion to the ideology of Religion, Durkheim proposed the idea of the sacred and the profane. The sacred was defined as that area or region of society in which those things, symbols, activities or beliefs are `set apart' as special or holy. Any 'thing' or activity within the category of the sacred was to be valued. He didn't limit or restrict the definition of the sacred to the supernatural, because according to him, any idea, activity or human being could be considered sacred so long as the members of the society agreed. This is how he came to justify 'religion as society.' Any social phenomenon or idea could be sacred so long as there was a 'moral consensus' to that effect. Then, as the ying to the yang, the profane referred to everything else - the 'ordinary', the 'everyday' or mundane – that not sacred. The individuals chose their affiliations in each "society" and it was the total group action which Durkheim referred to as a "moral consciousness". These are the most basic of elements in his theory, but even though his research was conducted in small, tribal communities, the basic truth remains in our societal values today. Our churches, communities, and schools, demonstrate how the sacred and profane are valued; the conversation they have, their dress, maybe their cars, certainly their morals and values that they have or don't have. Durkheim must have taken it down to an 'irrefutable fact' when he made the statement that "god equaled society." For the 21st century, a similar comparison with Durkheim's would be that many use the symbol and rituals of money, fame or notoriety, and what it will do for someone, and this becomes sacred and then their god. In any case, (in the tribal or the democratic), society decides what is sacred and all the rest is the profane. (www.sociologyonline.com)
Assessments of Durkheim's Theories:
This brief overview of Durkheim's major principles does not even touch the surface of the genius of this Sociologist and the basics he established in the field of Sociology. Even though he never really even separated the two fields of Anthropology and Sociology, he applied the same fundamental and professional techniques in the study of both. Durkheim systematically observed subjects in a Macro-Sociological perspective and he never wavered to the Psychological perspective. He said that he would leave that up to the Psychologist. Durkheim believed in researching social science as a social science, and treated those problems that way. By remaining in one specific discipline and not wavering, I believe he remained focused and was able to develop his theory of Structural/ Functionalism, the irrefutable facts and concentrate on empirical and scientific research. Looking at his theory of Religion, in The Religious Life, that ideology goes back basically to the Structural/ Functionalism. Durkheim's theory of Religion and solidarity is a common denominator in our American democratic society and any other on the planet, and if solidarity is perceived as the desired goal, the state of Anomie must be acknowledged also.
In Suicide (1897) the outcome of his research and studies, besides defining Anomie more explicitly, also provided a theory of deviance, and deteriorating values and morals which serves as the foundation of deviance and delinquency studies in many arenas. Durkheim states in Suicide that the cohesion of the population tends to give people the feeling of being "a part of" and because of this feeling, less suicides are committed. If the society or the individual is straying from the center structure though, it will fall into the state of Anomie and moral deterioration. (http://www.relst.uiuc.edu/durkheim/Summaries/suicide.html)
In these societies, if the conscious consensus is not moving positively (for the good of the whole) then it has failed, or is in the process of failing. Structural/ Functionalism is a concept that unites nations, states, communities, school, work places, sports, churches, and organizations, to keep moving and progressing towards the ultimate good of the organism, and the idea of Religion provides solidarity for that environment.
These principles have transcended from the 1850's as substantial foundational blocks on which to study society. When Durkheim voiced his statement that "crime was a natural occurrence" (Collins, 1994) he demonstrated that he was unique-thinker, apart from the typical Sociologists of that time period. The others held more conservative judgments on the current problems, such as considering the concept of crime and continuing to research the social sciences in the same qualitative way that had been used. This demonstrates Durkheim's ability to look at the extreme of perspectives, instead of merely focusing on the single issue presented; as he did again with anomie and solidarity. Another example of extreme thought was equating the concept of Religion to Society. For most people, this concept is too difficult to get a hold of, and I personally don't think it is possible to accept the concept in its entirety because if we did, then his ideologies of the sacred and the profane would become null and void because all would be sacred if religion was equal or a symbol for society.
But these unique and unanswered questions will remain unanswered because Durkheim needed to have lived a few more years to answer them. Now we'll only have to surmise at the continued truths or the possibilities that could have emerged through the creative genius of Emile Durkheim if he were permitted to have gone forth researching 20 more years or so. We are still able to continue to research his theories and concepts though, to build onto them, and to use them in structuring our culture. The fact that his principles have out-lived him, this alone is a certain indication of a Great Theorist.

Ceop concerned by rise in use of 'hidden internet'
The Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (Ceop) has said it in concerned by the rise in the use of the 'hidden internet' - heavily encrypted forums and pages that allow abusers to cover their tracks.
UK daily users connecting to secret or encrypted networks increased by two thirds in 2012, Ceop reported, although not all of these will use the hidden internet for criminal means.
This number is set to reach to 20,000 by the end of this year.

Latest Headlines
A Defense Department effort to restructure its information technology infrastructure is not a program of record, although it is subject to program of record-like oversight, said DoD Chief Information Officer Teri Takai.
Under the compromise fiscal 2014 omnibus act (H.R. 3547) that funds the entire federal government this fiscal year, the DHS OCIO has $257.16 million in appropriations. That's an amount about 21 percent less than the office's request of $327.25 million.
Efforts throughout government to cut the cost of federal data centers continue to grind along, with the General Services Administration and the Defense Information Systems Agency recently announcing separate progress. The Homeland Security Department also published a Sept. 30 request for information that said the department plans to transition from a data center model where it pays for data centers by the square foot to an "as-a-service" model where it pays for use.
Army Chief Information Office and G6 Lt. Gen. Susan Lawrence is leaving her position, posting a final message online on Oct. 1. Lawrence's tenure saw the service migrating to a departmentwide Microsoft Exchange cloud solution for email--an effort that wasn't without challenge, leading Lawrence in August 2011 to announce an operational pause. "We uncovered some pretty nasty stuff," said Lawrence at the time, citing an unorganized network as the primary culprit for the delay
Changes in the Office of Management and Budget definition of "data center" are more responsible for the growth in enumerated federal data centers than poor inventory management, Federal Chief Information Officer Steven VanRoekel told a July 25 House panel.
Data center consolidation at the Internal Revenue Service lacks a formal plan to address challenges, map milestones and set time frames, writes the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration in a June 10 report.
Savings so far from federal data center consolidation are difficult to estimate for their lack of reporting, but are "believed to be minimal" as of last November--nearly 3 years after the Office of Management and Budget launched an initiative to reduce the number of federal data centers by 40 percent--says the GAO.
Consolidating online services and integrating information technology sytems not only cut costs, but also made the Interior Department more efficient, Interior Chief Financial Officier Rhea Suh said May 13 at the Excellence in Government conference in Washington, D.C.
The Defense Department's fiscal 2014 budget proposal includes $39.6 billion for information technology, shows an overview from the departmental office of the chief information officer released earlier this month.
Budget is the top concern among federal chief information officers in an annual survey from TechAmerica and Grant Thorton, published May 2. Based on interviews with 41 federal CIOs, report authors say federal information technology leaders are concerned about budget constraints caused by the continuing resolution and sequestration, and inadequate budget authorities that impact how much control they have over IT programs.

I am sure you have read this statistic by now. Beginning in January 2011 every single day more than 10,000 baby boomers will turn 65 for the next 19 years. Please Click Here To See The Article. That is a staggering number. What does an advisor need to do to prepare to be an expert in serving the income distribution needs of retirees? Step one, as simple as it seems, and even more important than marketing to retirees is selecting a distribution philosophy.
Income distribution philosophies tend to fall into one of three categories (1) Buy a product designed to produce guaranteed lifetime income (2) Implement a systematic withdrawal plan from an asset allocation portfolio (3) Use a time segmented strategy.
An advisor needs to determine which philosophy they believe in and then take steps to make sure they can efficiently implement the strategy across their retiree client base. We conducted an in depth analysis of these three strategies in our award winning white paper Capturing the Income Distribution Opportunity. Click below to review our paper and see why we strongly recommend a combination of lifetime income products with a time segmented strategy.
In an upcoming post we will tackle the all important question of determining how much of a retiree's income should be guaranteed.

I don't see where the public that disagrees with a privately made comment automatically considers themselves an enemy, therefore qualifying for a supposedly scripture based entitlement; food and water, but then again seems like entitlement is the mindset of the left.

Alinsky, in his book Rules for Radicals, mentioned that priest candidates from local seminaries used to visit him and learn his tactics. No surprise here, but the joke is on Alinsky. He is now a believer but on the wrong side of the chasm and it's hot there.

We don't have the freedom to walk the streets in fear that some hoods will want to play" knock out" with us, unless we're armed. We don't have the freedom to use an ATM during off hours without fear unless we're armed. We don't even have the luxury of defending ourselves in our own homes when criminals kick in the door unless we're armed. Our greatness comes from the fact that our founders recognized the fact that humanity is flawed and some will refuse to act in accordance with the laws of a civil society therefore giving us the means to protect ourselves and the other freedoms outlined in our Bill of Rights. A gun is a tool. How many of the mass murderers in this country have used guns on their victims vs other methods? The greatest mass murderers of the past century used guns, gas chambers and starvation on a disarmed populace.

Oscar Beat: Does This Year's Telluride Film Festival Lineup Include Our Best Picture Winner?
by Adam Chitwood Posted 359 days ago
The lineup for this year's Telluride Film Festival was announced this morning just before the Colorado fest gets underway this weekend, and with it comes some serious expectations. As I outlined in the inaugural edition of Oscar Beat, the fall film festivals mark the official start of awards season, as the studios use the festivals to announce their heavy hitters and Oscar hopefuls. Four of the last five Best Picture winners played at Telluride (Argo, The King's Speech, The Artist, and Slumdog Millionaire) and this year's lineup certainly has the potential to launch our eventual winner with fare from the Coen Brothers, Jason Reitman, and Alfonso Cuaron all on tap.
Hit the jump for more, as we take a closer look at the Telluride lineup with an eye towards sussing out our 2013 Best Picture winner.

Google Inc.had net income of $143 million on sales of $1.35 billion in the first half of 2004.
Trading on the Nasdaq stock market under the symbol "GOOG" is expected to be vigorous, and futures contracts traded on the Web yesterday lead experts to predict a 59% chance that the shares will advance once trading starts.
Amazingly, for a company founded in just 1998, Google's market valuation will exceed that of both McDonald's Corp. and Sony Corp. and co-founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page (pictured) will become multimillionaires overnight.
Of the shares to be sold in Google's initial public offering of Class A common stock, 14,142,135 shares will be issued and sold by Google and 11,555,394 of the shares will be sold by the selling stockholders.
Bambi Franciso, of CBS MarketWatch, remarked: "If Google's IPO does go, it's actually good timing - at least compared to the past six weeks. Just in the nick of time, the Internet sector appears to be coming back to life.".
|fantabulous 08/17/04 04:58:40 AM EDT
i think i saw somewhere that its overall stake will increase to 4% but Yahoo already announced it will sell the Google shares to bolster its Q3 results. Plus Yahoo will forever be able to say Google''s ad technology is based on theirs!!
|Yoohah 08/17/04 04:55:40 AM EDT
Anyone remember how much stock Yahoo! - which was an early funder of Google - had? Was it 2%? How many shares did it just agree to give Yahoo! as settlement of that patent dispute? What percentage finally will end up in the hands of Yahoo! then?
|SECzzzzzzzzz 08/17/04 03:58:41 AM EDT
As 87dddT mentions, yes Google disclosed in a new filing Monday that the SEC has initiated an informal inquiry "into the company's issuance of stock and options to current and former employees."
But Brin/Page already indicated earlier this month that it may have violated several state laws by not formally registering these shares. They have factored it into the IPO plan. It'll be just fine, you'll see.
"We would contest vigorously any claim that a violation of the Securities Act (of 1933) occurred," they said in the SEC filing, conceding that if a court did find Google guilty of violating the act, it would be "required to repurchase the shares sold to purchasers in this offering at the original purchase price for a period of one year following the date of the violation." It's all there openly, in the SEC filing.
|Internet sector back to life? 08/17/04 03:35:17 AM EDT
Google already warned IPO investors that the price won't sky-rocket today like other hot technology issues in the late 1990s:
"As part of this auction process, we are attempting to assess the market demand for our Class A common stock and to set the size and price to the public of this offering to meet that demand," Google said in its IPO filing. "As a result, buyers should not expect to be able to sell their shares for a profit shortly after our Class A common stock begins trading."
|Goooooooogle 08/17/04 03:33:26 AM EDT
yes but Wall Street is mad about Google's IPO format and the protest about this is connected - other IPO companies make blunders like this but they're not reported as widely in the press.
|87dddT 08/17/04 03:30:28 AM EDT
I thought that they "may have" issued 23 million shares of stock to their own employees illegally?
|NasDAQ 08/17/04 03:25:57 AM EDT
Google's IPO is a PR event more than anything, just as their choice of Dutch Auction - a system that bypasses the fat-cat banks - was chosen for its publicity value.

Collaborative initiative connects students with the community
By Rosie Hales, Communications Officer
For the past five weeks, second-year students in the Faculty of Health Sciences have been working together to develop a health-care plan for a community member affected with a chronic or complex health condition. The work is part of this year's Collaboration in Action (CIA) initiative.
CIA, led by faculty member Anne O'Riordan, School of Rehabilitation Therapy, and Jo-Anne Peterson, School of Nursing, is an annual initiative based out of the Office of Interprofessional Education & Practice (OIPEP) within the Faculty of Health Sciences. This year, CIA involved over 270 students organized into teams of three or four Nursing, Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy students working together to experience interprofessional collaboration, as well as develop their patient care skills.
"What's exceptional about this program is that our student teams are partnering and working with community members who are the experts in their own personal health stories," says Rosemary Brander, director of the OIPEP. "The responsibility is to ensure that graduates from the Faculty of Health Sciences enter the workforce with interprofessional competencies including a focus on patient/family centred-care and experience in interprofessional communication skills. Working and learning together helps the students to develop better plans of care, which may not be possible when working alone."
Community members, also known as "mentors," were partnered with a group of CIA students to discuss their health issues and histories. At the end of the five-week mentor consultation process, the teams presented their interprofessional care plans first to their mentors for feedback and then to 33 faculty and clinician interprofessional judges. Finally, OIPEP hosted an event to show their appreciation for the community mentors where all participants were invited to give their feedback for the initiative.
"I think the students who participated in the CIA project may positively influence the health-care system. CIA helps them become familiar with the roles of other professions and to identify the overlap and to accept this without being threatened," says Glenn Outhwaite, a community mentor for CIA. "The focus is not only on teamwork but the need to ensure the patient and/or family are essential members of the team, and the need to include and listen to the patient and/or family."
For more information on the CIA initiative, follow this link.

Although Congress passed a continuing resolution in late September that was to keep the FAA operating until October 31, the political firefight over contract ATC towers continued unabated at press time.
Aviation International News » November 2003
At the NBAA Convention last month, credit for a recent increase in used aircraft sales was frequently given to the bonus depreciation benefit that is part of the Jobs and Growth Tax Relieve Reconciliation Act that went into effect this year. "It has already been a boost to used aircraft sales, and it is going to affect new aircraft sales," said a sales executive at the convention.
Although the Transportation Security Administration's general aviation airport security guidelines working group was unable to reach a consensus on how to categorize public- and private-use GA airports for security purposes, last month it urged the TSA not to "isolate" general aviation with more stringent security procedures than those being adopted as "best practices" by other modes of transportation such as maritime, rail or highways.
Although U.S. transportation fatalities increased slightly last year, aviation remained one of the safest forms of travel, according to preliminary figures released by the NTSB last month.
The U.S. business jet and turboprop fleet experienced 44 accidents– including 18 that resulted in a total of 46 passenger and crew fatalities– in the first nine months of this year, according to Robert E. Breiling Associates of Boca Raton, Fla.
In 1969, a youthful Ray Siegfried II, just four years out of Notre Dame University, bought Nordam with its eight workers out of bankruptcy. Over the next 34 years he and his team proceeded to build the Tulsa, Okla. company into a major aircraft component manufacturer, overhaul and repair provider with more than 3,000 employees in facilities around the globe.
To improve support for a worldwide fleet of some 1,600 Falcons, last month Dassault Falcon Jet announced at the NBAA show that it has restructured its service network to create Dassault Aircraft Services and provide owners and operators with "the kind of support they expect of an airplane of this quality."
When Peter Campbell was managing the interior completion of a BBJ2 for a client, he became concerned about the expensive blended wood flooring and leather paneling inside the main cabin door. So he made a sketch of an awning attached to the top of the BBJ's door and presented it to Lufthansa Technik Completion Center designers in Hamburg, Germany.
State aviation directors across the country face myriad airport problems, including some that directly affect users, the future of airports and airport operations. Many directors simply come up with creative solutions.
The number of local business aviation advocacy groups has continued to swell to 48 associations as part of an attempt by business aviation users to promote this industry segment. Last year there were 43 such groups, a 40-percent increase from 2000.

Now that the weather has finally turned and we have warmer, sunnier days ahead, I can't wait to bring out the portable tables and dye equipment to my driveway to screen and paint yards and yards of fabric.
At first glance, the worlds of traditional and modern quilting don't seem to have much in common, other than fabric and thread. But of course, modern quilting has its roots in the traditional methods. And, in fact, many contemporary quilters began as traditional or Victorian-style crazy quilters.
One of the perks of living in Colorado is having ready access to the amazing number of highly talented fiber artists that live and create in the Front Range area.In Boulder alone, there are so many textile and mixed-media fiber artists that when I attended the annual open studios tour last fall, I couldn't even get to them all.
If there was just one tip I could give a designer of wall art looking to improve her compositions, it would be: use a design wall. Experienced art quilters wouldn't live without one.
When someone asks me what's the difference between contemporary art quilts and traditional quilts, one of the first things I think of is embellishment, especially beads and encrustation.
The art of appliqué quilting has long been a way for quilters to add designs to their fabric, in addition to piecing. But while traditional quilters used the hand appliqué stitch to place their fabric motifs, contemporary quilters are more apt to fuse or machine appliqué, opening up new, faster, design possibilities.
I almost fell off my chair laughing when I saw this fiber art postcard from U.K. artist Priscilla O'Rourke. It seems no sooner had she received her copy of the February/March issue of Quilting Arts Magazine than she turned a photo of the staff she found on the Editor's note page into quilted imagery.
I would say that unless you work full time in a dedicated studio, finding time to create is one of hardest things about being an artist. For most people, especially women, art has to get made in between "real jobs," kids, pets, and other responsibilities.
Last week while back in Massachusetts I picked up a few essential Christmas mementos to send to our new Colorado home. As I was packing them up at Quilting Arts headquarters, people gathered around to comment.
I'll bet that if you're been a fiber or mixed-media artist for a while, then you've accumulated a rather large array of tools, gadgets, how-to books and the like. And I'm also willing to bet that, like me, you use only a handful of those items over and over again.
If you opened up your GPS or Google maps and did a search for the intersection of traditional and modern quilting, I bet the pin would drop right on top of Malka Dubrawsky. Malka has an amazing eye for taking basic patchwork quilt blocks and giving them a fresh and contemporary spin using color and freehand cutting and piecing.
When the leaves start to turn and the mornings turn chilly, some people go shopping for new fall fashions. My first thought is, "Hey, I wonder if they've started making apple cider donuts at U-pick orchard down the street from the Quilting Arts offices?"
One of the hardest things for me at quilt shows is observing the no-touch rule. As much as I completely understand it, I often silently thank the quilt guardians for keeping me on my best behavior. It's so hard to resist all those touchable textiles!
I confess: sometimes I get so caught up in the "art" I forget about the "quilting."Let me explain. An idea for an art quilt forms in my mind based on, say, a favorite TV show such as (still--and forever) Tony Soprano. Or, a new line of gorgeous fabrics hits my desk and I have to do something with those luscious colors and witty patterns. Or, I get obsessed with a new surface design technique and suddenly all I can think about in my studio is Thermofax® printing or soy wax batik.
I first became aware of Elin Waterston through the Quilting Arts reader challenges, particularly our annual calendar contests. Very quickly, our team came to recognize Elin's distinctive brand of well-thought-out, uncluttered design featuring a strong focal point.

A lot of floating chunkies. Dark amber. One finger of white, average foam.
Very fruity smell, with a strong note of alcohol.
Very carbonated in the mouth, not too cloying, but not a masterpiece, for sure.
Sweetish aftertaste, with candy sugar and ripe fruit. Not really drinkable.

W8.1 Update 1 screwed up my display
via i.imgur.com
As you can see from this, after updating to Update 1 on my desktop, my display settings are all fucked up. (this is how it looks on my monitor) It's displaying it at native resolution but I'm getting this weird black box like it isn't scaled properly. I keep trying to install the Nvidia beta drivers to see if that's the problem but it refuses to work.
Is anyone else having this issue?
