Nadando El Estrecho, Sus Orígenes Y Su Historia
Translated in English as "Swimming the Strait, Its Origin and History", the book adds brilliantly to any open water swimming collection.
The 287-page hard cover book is filled with hundreds of great photographs of swimmers in the Strait of Gibraltar with gripping descriptions of their personal histories and triumphs.
Montserrat comprehensively outlines the history of swimming in the Strait of Gibraltar (مضيق جبل طارق in Arabic or Estrecho de Gibraltar in Spanish) that separates Spain from Morocco, Africa. Many of the stories and photographs are publicly disclosed for the first time.
Montserrat (shown above) was a pioneer of many open water swims and the first Spanish women to swim across the Strait of Gibraltar in 1957 in 5 hours 18 minutes.
Among her many accomplishments, she was also the first Spaniard to swim across the English Channel in 1958 in 14 hours and 14 minutes. In 1961, Montserrat again crossed the English Channel in the opposite direction from France to England to become the first women to swim the English Channel in both directions.
In 1969, she swam from Minorca to Majorca in Spain in 21 hours 10 minutes and across Lough Neagh in 16 hours 13 minutes. She also swam from Santa Fe to Coronda in Argentina and from Concordia in Argentina to Columbus, Uruguay.
She serves on the Board of the Channel Swimming Association and acts as an official observer on many attempts to swim the English Channel and the Strait of Gibraltar.
Whether or not you read Spanish, Nadando El Estrecho, Sus Orígenes Y Su Historia is a great book for all open water swimming enthusiasts, especially historians of the sport.
Montserrat's book provides colorful descriptions of hundreds of individuals including Helena Abel, Antonio Abertondo, Patricia Adam, Rafael Alberti, George Henry Allen, Dr. Eduardo Alonso, Greta Anderson, Dr. José Antunes, Dr. Aureo Aramburu, Amalia and Dorita Arena, Vicente Arena, Julio Felipe Arias, Juan Antonio Armenta, José Arriola, José Arroyo, Ceferino Artuz, Arti Arun Pradhan, Asencio El Asaz, Luis Asensi Galiana, Francisco Asensio Mesa, Dr. Andrle Augustin, Carlos and José Aymes, Barnejee, Adolfo Horacio Barbichi, Nélida Barbichi, Rafael Barroso, José Beltrán Limiñana, Tom Blower, Antonio Bohigas Arroyo, Dr. Emilio Boto, Summers Brown, Thomas Burgess, General Burruaga, Eloísa and Marina Burruaga, Jack Burville, José Caballero Márquez, Jesús Cabañero Sánchez de León, Luisa Cabañero Sánchez de León, Francisco Calatayud, Jesús Calatayd, Alfredo Camarero, Néstor Campos Alcalá, Candi, Pedro Candiotti, Ramón Cardenas Ortiz, Fergus Carey, Patrick Carey, Ana Carmona, Daniel Carpio Maccioti, Francisco Carrascal, Ramos Carrasco, Mary Casacuberta, José Casanovas Gilabert, Segundo Castelló Cano, Francisco Castillo, Francisco Castro Blanco, José Castro Mesa, Manuel Cazalla Díaz, Sebastián Cazalla Moreno, Francisco Cazalla Quintero, Carlos Cereceda, Jordi Cerveza Martínez, Florence Chadwick, Madan Chavi, Dr. W.

2014 Global Open Water Swimming Conference
Courtesy of WOWSA, Huntington Beach, California.
The Global Open Water Swimming Conference is a conference on the sport of open water swimming, marathon swimming and swimming during triathlons and multi-sport endurance events.
The conference which has been attended by enthusiasts and luminaries from 6 continents, is devoted to providing information about the latest trends, race tactics, training techniques, equipment, psychological preparation, race organization and safety practices used in the sports of open water swimming, marathon swimming and triathlons.
The conference's mission is to provide opportunities to listen and meet many of the world's most foremost experts in open water swimming, and to meet and discuss the sport among swimmers, coaches, administrators, event organizers, sponsors, vendors, officials, escort pilots, and volunteers from kayakers to safety personnel.
Dozens of presentations at the 2014 Conference at the Mount Stuart House cover numerous aspects of the vast and growing world of open water swimming where attendees can learn and share the latest trends, race tactics, training modalities, swimming techniques, equipment, race organization, logistics, operations, and safety practices for open water swimming as a solo swimmer, competitive athlete, fitness swimmer, masters swimmer, triathlete, multi-sport athlete, administrator, race promoter, sponsor or referee.
The conference was first held in Long Beach, California as part of the 2010 USA Swimming National Open Water Swimming Championships. It has since been held on the Queen Mary in California, at Columbia University and the United Nations in New York City, and in Cork, Ireland. This year in September, it comes to another iconic location, the Mount Stuart House on the Isle of Bute in Scotland.
"The Global Open Water Swimming Conference was started due to the desire and need for athletes, coaches, referees, administrators, race directors, promoters and sponsors from around the world to share, collect and learn information about the growing sports of open water swimming, marathon swimming and triathlons," said founder Steven Munatones. "Other swimming conferences usually offering nothing on open water swimming or perhaps a speech or two, but we thought open water swimming deserves its own global conference. It is great that the community shares its information via the online social network, but there is nothing like meeting other open water swimming enthusiasts face-to-face and talking about the sport from morning to night."
Speakers at the conference include English Channel swimmers, ice swimmers, record holders, renowned coaches, world champions, professional marathon swimmers, renowned race directors, officials and administrators from the Africa, Americas, Asia, Europe and Oceania.
"Because the audience is passionate and educated about the sport and its finest practitioners, the Global Open Water Swimming Conference is also the location of the induction ceremonies for the International Marathon Swimming Hall of Fame and the annual WOWSA Awards that recognize the World Open Water Swimming Man of the Year, the World Open Water Swimming Woman of the Year, the World Open Water Swimming Performance of the Year, and the World Open Water Swimming Offering of the Year. Special Lifetime Achievement Awards are also occasionally presented to individuals who have made significant contributions to the sport over their career."

Timothy Wheeler's documentary brings Diana Nyad's extraordinary adventure to life as Diana sets out to prove that will and determination are all you need to make the unimaginable possible.
2014 Open Water Swimming Almanac
An Almanac for Open Water SwimmingAn almanac is essentially a body of knowledge which is so complete that it enables people in different fields to make predictions about the future of their respective industries.
This, for example, was the purpose of the traditional farmers almanacs. It enabled farmers to determine as accurately as possible which crops to plant for the greatest harvests in a given year.
But the farmers almanac was just one example among many.
There are, of course, many different kinds of almanacs.
In fact, there is even one for open water swimming...

General information about elasticized waistbands: Can be cut-on or separate. Cut-on waistbands are basically an extension of the garment. From the point where the garment should hit your waist, you add more length to the pattern piece/fabric to allow for the waistband casing. This extra length gets folded over to make the casing. Cut-on waistband types: "With a casing" is a more casual look; firm braided or woven elastics work best; elastic can be adjusted for a better fit later because the elastic is not caught in a seam. "Topstitched waistband" has a number of topstitched seams and spacing can vary according to your preference; can use drawstring elastic for this. Types of separate waistbands: "Smooth elasticized waistbands" are best for a slim-fitting garment because the waistband will look like a traditional waistband when stretched around the waist; firm elastic is best (1-1.25 inches wide). "Shirred waistbands" are best for fuller styles like a full skirt; works well with wide elastic; firm elastic is best; waistband can be topstitched. Information about elastic types: Firm elastics include nonroll elastics; the length of elastic should be cut to your waist measurement or 1-inch smaller. Soft elastics include knit elastics; the length of elastic should be cut 3 to 5 inches smaller than your waist measurement. Topstitching the elasticized waistband can cause the elastic to lose some stretch so shorten the elastic up to 1-inch to get a better fit. When joining the elastic ends, you have 2 choices. Overlapped method: best for soft elastics; overlap the elastic ends and use a wide zigzag stitch to secure; a 3-step zigzag stitch can also be used. Butted method: best for firm elastics; bring elastic ends together but don't overlap ("butt ends") and secure with a wide or 3-step zigzag stitch.
elastic, pattern piece, fabric, safety pin, thread, pins, zipper foot (optional: edgestitch or stitch-in-the-ditch foot), iron

3 of 3 people found the following review helpful
Like a sticking plaster being slowly removed - a very emotional read!,
This review is from: Dragonfly In Amber: (Outlander 2) (Paperback)
Carrying on from the first book (Cross Stitch) I was absolutley stunned to realise that we were suddenly in the 1960s and not the 1740s...confusion, and then saddness and then desperate I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED occured. I was driven by a compulsion to find out and found that I read the book very quickly. However, as delightful and diverting as some of the elements of the plot in Dragonfly in Amber are (e.g. France and Louis XIV) I was just desperate to find out what had happened to Claire and Jamie since the end of Cross Sticth. The somewhat happy ending of Cross Sticth is exploded by the plan to alter history and the resulting consequences are simply awful - for Scotland and Jamie and Claire.
I loved this book even though it made me mad. Anyone wanting a happy ever after for Jamie and Claire in this book had better look elsewhere - but my goodness what a read! I was going mad with impatience - what happened and why did it happen were my constant motivators. I was propelled through the novel by a desire to just KNOW - full marks to Gabaldon for captivating the reader though it was almost like slow (pleasurable) torture at times. I knew something bad was brewing and just desperatley wanted it to be out in the open. It was like Gabaldon was skilfully removing a sticking plaster very, very slowly. I was definitley eating out of her hand and was desperate for Jamie and Claire to be together forever and slightly resentful that they have been separated. I was in tears at the end and very emotional.
Gabaldon is a master story teller and her authorative authoral voice is a steady rudder through the choppy seas of Jamie and Claire's relationship. I just wish Gabaldon could have them settling down for a happy ever after in Lallybroch...
After the cliff hanger ending of Dragonfly in Amber I went straight out to get Voyager - my advice is get them together you will HAVE to read Voyager the second you finish Dragonfly in Amber.

The Frigid Weather Has Dealt Consumer Spending a Blow
NEW YORK ( MainStreet) The harsh and severe weather continued to dampen consumers' enthusiasm for spending in February, according to First Data's report.
As the frigid temperatures lingered and continued into February, the volume of spending was at 2.4%, a slight decline compared to 2.5% in January, reported First Data, an Atlanta-based payment technology and services company, which tracked sales by credit, debit and prepaid cards and checks from almost four million merchant locations.
An uptick in spending increased toward the end of February as temperatures rose and consumers started receiving their tax refunds, especially since refund volumes and values were slightly up compared to 2013.
While consumers were making purchases, they were driving less as gas station volume fell by 6.6%. Spending remained healthy at hotel, travel, food services and drinking places at 5.4%, 3.3% and 4.7% compared to January's growth of 5.4%, 2.3% and 3.3% and buoyed the overall growth.
"Consumer spending growth was again unfavorably impacted by severe weather across the nation, which hindered shopping activity for most of the month," said Krish Mantripragada, senior vice president of information and analytics solutions for First Data. "Credit card spending growth continues to be strong as consumer confidence remains pinned near post-recession highs, which has fueled consumers' appetite for credit and should support more spending growth."
Sales in February have been flat and "fairly disappointing" even though e-commerce shopping is immune to the perils of the severe cold, said Mark Venezia, senior vice president of sales North America for Spreadshirt, a Boston-based e-commerce platform.
"It does seem that February's outlook and enthusiasm for shopping was tepid at best," he said. "In Boston, March continues to be cold and dreary, but sales are brisk. We are expecting an increase of 25% this month. Perhaps this can be attributed to the longer days and optimism that come with this time of year. It is difficult to predict consumer behavior since the last holiday season we had record sales even with the shortened season."
As the weather rebounded, sales followed suit, according to data compiled by Applied Predictive Technologies (APT), a Washington, D.C.-based cloud-based predictive analytics software company. The data demonstrated an uptick in the second half of the month tied specifically to warmer weather. Retail sales for February fell by 1.1%, an improvement from January's sales which declined by 1.6%.
In the first half of February through the 14, the average temperature was 35°F and sales declined by 3.4%. However, in the second half of the month, the average temperature climbed to 43°F and sales figures grew by 1.4%, said APT, which pulled information from a subset of APT's $2 trillion in sales data or $1 of every $5 of U.S. retail sales from sales registers at over 50,000 locations across the U.S.

"I wasn't sure if I should do it or not, but his buddies were the ones egging me on saying, 'Kill him. Do it. Take him down.' I hit him pretty solid, right in the ribs with my shoulder. It felt good. I thought for a second that the guy might turn when I was coming, he might turn on me and try to hit me. So, I said I kind of have to give it my all. I didn't want to go to the ground; I really thought I was going to rip my pants as well. But I didn't, so that was a victory."
Hawk and Aaron Rodgers are slated to participate in the golf tournament beginning on Friday.

Beach House Hotel at Hermosa Review
Sitting right on the sand, bordering the Strand (SoCal's famous beach bike and walk path), the Beach House looks like a New England sea cottage from a century ago. The exterior resembles an apartment building, but inside you can find contemporary amenities in split-level, loftlike rooms. Ocean-front rooms facing the Strand have terrific sunset views and small balconies. All rooms have two flat-screen TVs, multiline phones, a stereo system, fireplace, wet bar, and extra soundproofing. Expect to pay more for ocean-view rooms and weekend and summer stays. Rent bikes nearby or stroll on the Hermosa Beach pier. Mornings, muffins, and coffee await you in the pleasant breakfast room. Many guests book an in-room massage.

Shrimp costs rise with Gulf oil spill

Barry Fronek, a Medford seafood broker, says that the oil disaster in the Gulf Coast will mean a rise in shrimp costs, as he and other brokers will need to look elsewhere.
Wild shrimp will be completely unavailable due to the spill and a U.S. regulatory moratorium on Mexican shrimp imports, so the options are limited to farm-produced shrimp from countries such as Ecuador and Bangladesh.

Former Riverside North baseball star Gabrial Franca (Class of 2012) has been promoted from the Arizona Rookie League Mariners to the High Desert Mavericks of the high Class A California League and will be playing in Rancho Cucamonga this week, a source close to the North program told me.
The games are Wednesday, Aug. 29 and Thursday, Aug. 30. Now I haven't been to a Cal League game in awhile, but I may just have to check out Gabrial's act Thursday night at the Epicenter.
UPDATE: Upon further review, I'll be covering Redlands vs. Summit football on Thursday night.

Spokane Chiefs captain Jared Cowen will play for a gold medal as Team Canada whipped Team USA 4-1 at World Junior Tournament in Buffalo. Team Canada plays Russia on Wednesday.
It's official, Spokane Chiefs captain Jared Cowen is named to Team Canada for the World Junior tournament.
Meanwhile, the Chiefs hammered Seattle last night (box score below) with a rematch in the Arena tonight. There was some fisticuffs so it might be interesting to see how tonight's game goes if the Chiefs get a big lead. Remeber, after this weekend there are 9 days off for Christmas and the first two games back - a home & home with the Thunderbirds. Not sure Seattle will react kindly to seeing a five-point deficit jump to 13 in such a short period of time. The emphasis for Spokane is team, eight players scored in the 8-2 romp … but it's a perfect coach Nachbaur romp, it was close until the 5-goal third period, which gives him a chance to keep his team's attention.

In short: Very well organised. Great beer and cakeIn full: It's my 2nd time I've ran the Bewl 15 and think its a great race to do. I love the whole experience. Date of review: July 9, 2014
In short: Great place to run - very well organised with great support from marshallsDate of review: July 9, 2014
In short: Great weather to run in, helpful smiling volunteers and dead chuffed that, on the third attempt, I ran all the raceIn full: On the day the organisation and support was great, but all a bit uncertain before. Race packs were very late going out and the website has only updated to 2014 in the past few days (and still invites entries to the 2012 race!). Realised afterwards that folk had mostly migrated to the facebook page. I still don't get why it was more than a half marathon – why not simply put the start a bit further down the canal path? But moans aside, you can't but love a quirky race like this – tunnel, steps, such painful bridges to go over in the last few miles, then into the heart of Birmingham for the finish.Date of review: July 9, 2014
In short: A fantastic race, lovely setting and great organisation and friendly marshals and officials!Date of review: July 8, 2014
In short: Magnificently enjoyable!In full: My third time across the bay, and it never gets any easier. The water crossings seemed to come earlier (mile 2 was my slowest) and more often than previous years, and then a long stretch onto a headwind before turning for come (which came after 13.4 miles). Definitely harder than last year, but it's called a 'Challenge' for good reason. Clockwork organisation as usual, great weather and wonderful scenery (if you took the opportunity to look around). One of my two favourite runs of the year!Date of review: July 8, 2014
In short: Good course, well marshalled, Start was a little chaotic thoughDate of review: July 8, 2014
In full: Being a regular road runner (running the occasional half marathon) my friends and decided to try a trail run event for the first time. We played cautious and entered for the 5k. It was a great event, very well organised, marshalls were helpful and encouraging. Would definitely take part again, thank you!Date of review: July 8, 2014
In short: Great family atmosphere and a tough little course. Date of review: July 8, 2014
In short: Tough enough to be fun, hilarious commentary and great organizers.In full: This is a fairly tough 5km, not only because it is a trail run, but also it starts downhill and there is a long, albeit gently, uphill run back in. Organizers are amazing, making it good fun, whilst facilities are good. Nice to have bacon butties on hand, but my "support team" left their money at home, so I went hungry. Great to be away from the traffic.Date of review: July 8, 2014
In short: Cracking half, PBs out of the window I'm afraid !In full: If you want a race thats different then this is the one.Friendly and good organisation,only crowd support are the marshals!But everyone cheering at the finish in Flookburgh.Make a week-end of it and stay over there are plenty of good B&Bs.Date of review: July 8, 2014
In short: A great event! Challenging course with spectacular scenary!Date of review: July 8, 2014
In short: Excellent race!In full: I'm sure they've actually cut out some of the worst hills from previous years' Bushey races! I enjoyed the course probably more than I expected to. At around half-way, when you really start to need a bit of a boost, the marshals around King George Recreation Ground were fantastic and provided the encouragement I needed for the next 5k! The goody bag was a nice cotton bag with a medal, banana, water, pen, so good value. Race results available immediately by computer so you knew your chip time and positions right away. At race HQ, number collection and bag drop were very well-organised, and again the marshals there were cheery and helpful. Full marks :-)Date of review: July 8, 2014
In short: Back to its very bestIn full: After one or two problems in 2013 the Forest Five was back to its very best for 2014. The organisation ran like clockwork with plenty of supportive marshals around the course. Also plenty of support and encouragement around the finish particularly for the runners near the back of the field. Nice goody bag with not one but two different Mars products and a bespoke coaster to put my well earned beer on! Date of review: July 8, 2014
In short: Great organisation, great value, great scenery - and tough running!In full: First time for me and I loved it. Weather was kind - cloudy/sunny but not too hot. Course is challenging - undulating then hilly in the final third. Lovely views, very friendly atmosphere. Superb organisation and great value - lovely medal, free t shirt, generous goody bag and free cakes and beer. What more could you want on a summer's day?!Date of review: July 8, 2014
In short: Our must-do run every yearIn full: This is the one we look forward to irrespective of our training schedule, brilliant organisation, lovely but challenging course and supportive marshals and drink stations. Date of review: July 8, 2014
In short: Fantastic family day, thank you for a great race everyone!Date of review: July 8, 2014
In short: The Best ever race to be done again and again my thrid year in a row and i still love this race.Date of review: July 8, 2014
In short: Very enjoyable experience and welcoming finish with beer and cakes. My only issue was try to register online as an affiliated club member but it didn't recognise my details so I paid the full cost. Good value though!Date of review: July 7, 2014
In short: Flat, straightforward and well runIn full: If you read up on this one you pretty much get what you expect, and more organised than last year, judging by the reviews. Pleasantly warm, lots of water, well organised but could have done without the windy bits around the lake. If you want a no fuss and fast, friendly run with PB potential you could do worse. Date of review: July 7, 2014
In short: Well marshalled race with PB potential.In full: A good well marshalled race with a friendly atmosphere. Lovely scenery and course very flat with PB potential. A cake lovers dream at the finish and a nice engraved medal. Only 2 small gripes - car parking is not very good and the start is a bit cramped. Will be back next year and hope weather is better.Date of review: July 7, 2014

New Greek PM sworn in
The leader of Greece's conservative New Democracy party, which narrowly won Sunday's election, has been sworn in as Prime Minister after agreeing a coalition government with parties on the left.
New government to be formed in Greece tomorrow
The new prime minister of Greece Antonis Samaras has pledged to form a new government tomorrow. His New Democracy Party will join forces with the socialist PASOK Party which came in third place, and the smaller party called Democratic Left.
All three parties broadly back Greece's pledges to bailout creditors for further austerity and reforms, though they have pledged to renegotiate some of the terms. Samaras said:
"I will ask the new government that will be formed tomorrow to work hard so that we can offer tangible hope to our people"
Samaras sworn in as Prime Minister in Athens
Antonis Samaras of the New Democracy party is being sworn in as Prime Minister at a ceremony in Athens.
Report: Samaras will be sworn in as Greek PM 'soon'
The Associated Press is reporting that New Democracy leader Antonis Samaras will be sworn in as Greek Prime Minister 'soon.'
Greek 'conservative-led government has been agreed'
A conservative-led Greek government has been agreed and will form a team to "renegotiate" the EU/IMF bailout saving the country from bankruptcy, Socialist PASOK leader Evangelos Venizelos has said.
Venizelos, whose PASOK party will enter an alliance with the larger conservative New Democracy, said cabinet posts would be decided by Wednesday evening. He said the key issue would be to form a team to renegotiate the 130 billion euro ($164.79 billion) bailout.
"Greece has a government and this is the message that the outgoing finance minister (George) Zanias will take to the Eurogroup," Venizelos told reporters.
Greek coalition details 'still being worked out'
BREAKING: Greek socialist head Venizelos: Government details still being worked out, to be finalized tonight.
BREAKING: Greek socialist head Venizelos: Greece has a government.
AFP: 'Greek coalition government has been formed'
News agency AFP are reporting that a Greek coalition government has been formed.
Venizelos: 'Greece will have a Govt as soon as possible'
The leader of Greece's PASOK Socialists have said the country would have a government as soon as possible but there was no immediate agreement with the small Democratic Left on a new pro-bailout coalition.
"Greece must and will have a government as soon as possible," Evangelos Venizelos told reporters after meeting Democratic Left leader Fotis Kouvelis, adding that he was "optimistic".
Former Greek PM: 'A crucial moment in Greek history'by Mark Austin - ITV News presenter
The former Prime Minister of Greece George Papandreou has told ITV News that Greece's election results showed that the country wants to "continue in the eurozone". Mr Papandreou said that it was a "crucial moment in Greek history".
Obama: Greece has 'positive prospects' in working with the EU
The US President has said the outcome of Greece's election showed a "positive prospect" for that country's economic future speaking at a meeting with Mexican President Felipe Calderon where it was also announced that Mexico would become a member of a regional trade alliance.
ECB, IMF and European Commission to support Greece with bailout conditions
Officials from the European Central Bank, International Monetary Fund and European Commission have announced that they will go to Athens as soon as a new government has been put in place to help Greece meet its bailout conditions, the Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso said tonight.
Mr Barroso avoided any firm commitment on whether Greece's bailout conditions could be relaxed in exchange for a 130 billion euro (£104 billion) bailout. He said:
The [bailout] programme agreed by Greece was on the basis of a mandate that euro-area member states gave the Commission, the ECB and the IMF to design a programme with a specific path of debt sustainability.
Those parameters were agreed and it would not be possible to have another trajectory.

"I'm using Facebook to target various nationalist-related groups and inviting every single member [to become a my Facebook friend] … aaaaarrrrggh:/ It's driving me nuts, lol", wrote Anders Breivik in his rambling 1,516-page manifesto 2083: A European Declaration of Independence. "Ofc, it's a quite tedious task," he admitted, "but then again, I can't think of a more efficient way to get in direct touch with nationalists in all European countries."
After emailing 2083 to hundreds of people whose email addresses he'd harvested from Facebook groups, Breivik left his house and killed 77 people in a terrorist attack. Large chunks of his manifesto were copied and pasted from the net… Read More
Yesterday, the American company Ratheon was awarded £224 million of British taxpayers' money for a disastrous Home Office IT project called e-Borders. That £224 million represents less than half the total bill of the project, which was scrapped last year.
I thought I had lost my capacity to be shocked by IT projects going wrong, but the e-Borders system is probably the most abject failure I have ever written about.
After all, these failures are a regular occurrence. When writing about another failed Home Office immigration system last month (which left us with a bill of £350 million), I pointed out that 40 per… Read More
Today, the Telegraph's Matt Holehouse broke the story that the government is intending to link up all the information it has about us into one "Big Data" system. It hopes to use it to "copy sophisticated customer analysis techniques developed by retailers such as Amazon and Tesco to develop a significantly more 'intelligent', 'nimble' and cheaper state."
Obviously, this has rung alarm bells in some quarters. Understandably some people are worried about their data being sliced up and pored over by civil servants – it all feels a bit 1984. I think there's a residual fear, created by the fact… Read More
For all the worries about Big Brother snaffling our personal data, it turns out that we are more worried by Little Brother – and starting to change our behaviour as a result.
A brand new poll of over 2,000 Brits released yesterday by Ipsos-Mori and the Royal Statistical Society has found that British citizens trust internet companies less than the Government when it comes to handling our data. Fifty-four per cent have low trust in internet companies (second only to the media/press). By contrast, only 26 per cent have low trust in the police,… Read More
While I was phoning around this morning for an explanation to why the Government's latest big IT project has ended with £350 million being flushed down the lavatory, one respected contractor told me: "I just don't think the UK government should be allowed to buy IT at all. Maybe give them abacuses, but they could still get those wrong."
It's not just a problem for the UK either. Most nations – but especially the USA – have a woeful record when it comes to IT procurement. Here's a list of the seven most expensive IT failures in US government history – and that wa… Read More
Following a ruling earlier last month EU citizens have the "right to be forgotten". Well, sort of: Internet search engines are obliged to remove "inadequate", "irrelevant" or "no longer relevant" information about you from their search results. Most importantly this means Google, which accounts for around 90 per cent of all online searches. You can request from Google that certain URLs are ignored by its mighty search-bots. The Internet giant is getting one thousands requests each day.
The thinking behind the ruling is understandable. There are lots of good reason… Read More
The Government has made a bit of a gaffe. Back in April, the European Court of Justice ruled that telephone and internet providers weren't required to retain data on their customers anymore, and that retaining certain data would breach human rights law.
Therefore, to comply with the court ruling, these big firms will soon begin deleting that data – or they'll probably get sued by privacy advocates such as the Open Rights Group.
Unfortunately, no one in the Government seemed to notice that this was happening until a couple of days ago, and they've now had to rush through an emergency law to maintain our current system whereby communications can be tapped.
Obviously, privacy campaigners are furious. They see thi… Read More
Next time you're bored in an A&E waiting room, or whiling away the hours before an ambulance arrives, or find yourself in the operating theatre under insufficient anaesthetic – why not log on to the NHS's new website?
I'm talking about their new safety website, set to launch tomorrow, which will publish all the mistakes each hospital has made recently, and will rank it compared to others. It will show things like infection rates and staffing levels, and the number of pairs of scissors lost inside people during routine appendix operations.
Rather cleverly, there'll also be an incentive for hospitals to report these errors, with a certain number of points going for being "open and honest".
Now, this is a… Read More
Yesterday the Labour Party announced via Twitter it was gifting a free owl to everyone. Obviously, there were a slew of jokes along the lines of "Are they going to pay for this out of the banker's bonus tax too?" as well as a fine assortment of puns – my personal favourite being Guido Fawkes's effort, "contact the Labour press team on 28 28 20".
It seemed an obvious minor social media gaffe, where a social media manager had accidentally tweeted on the wrong account. It's fine, it happens, it's a common and easy mistake to… Read More
When it comes to getting people barking up the wrong tree, nothing on the internet does it quite like 4chan. On Friday, the Twitter hashtag #EndFathersDay was trending worldwide, with its feminist proponents earnestly calling for the end of a day which, in their view, serves no purpose other than the celebration of patriarchal dominance.
At least, that's what it looked like. As The Daily Dot reports, the whole thing was a prank; bait for feminists in the hope that they would use it to make a caricature out of themselves. Here's the original post from… Read More

JACKSON, Tenn. (BP)--Only two weeks after a tornado ripped through Union University, students and faculty brought a sense of optimism in returning to their classes Feb. 20.
In addition to a revised schedule and, in some cases, relocated classrooms and offices, the many changes to the campus caused by the EF-4 tornado continue to weigh on hearts and minds at the Jackson, Tenn., campus. Two students remain hospitalized from their injuries.
"It was strange walking onto campus and not seeing what I used to call home, yet having to continue to act as though everything was normal," said Natalie Newberry of Memphis, Tenn. "Walking from the Student Union Building to the Penick Academic Complex and not seeing any dorms was strange to me. It threw my day off."
Classes that were meeting on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays are now compressed into Mondays and Wednesdays with extended class times. Fridays are reserved for chapel services, makeup classes and labs.
"It's like the first day of school - ever," associate professor of business Roland Porter said. "Not just the first day of the semester, but the first day of class - ever." Porter said some students' notes from previous classes were destroyed or lost in the Feb. 5 tornado. "Somehow we've got to make up for that," he said.
Like hundreds of other Union students, Emily Watlington of Chattanooga, Tenn., understands that adjustments will be needed to compensate for time lost after the tornado. For senior social work majors like Watlington, the spring semester is reserved for field practicum. But she has missed a number of hours stemming from the storm.
"Professors have told us: 'Make that the least of your worries, we will get you hours.' They are trying to make sure we are taking care of ourselves and they are helping us to do what it takes to graduate May 17," Watlington said.
Porter noted, "I think we'll all be flexible until we get up to speed together again.... There are some gaps where students need me to help them and I have to be flexible in assisting them. But working together, we're going to make it OK."
Christian studies professor Kelvin Moore said, "It's good to be back and see everybody here. The atmosphere is very positive and we're looking forward to classes and a new beginning."
Newberry reflected that "it will be a difficult transition. However, the way the university is handling the care of the students will bring about a smoother transition for us because they understand our needs before we even understand them."
One such way the university is handling students' needs is through a "Care and Comfort" station in the Student Union Building, giving students a place to receive counsel, express their emotions and take steps toward a life of normalcy.
Newberry said the station's distribution of even simple things like teddy bears does not necessarily benefit students' academic careers, but it certainly helps in giving them "a sense of rest."
Union President David S. Dockery kicked off the restart of the semester in a campus-wide chapel service Feb. 19, spurring students forward in continuing their studies and their lives.
"It's hard to imagine 14 days ago where we stood," Dockery told students, faculty and staff. "But by God's grace we are here tonight to enjoy one another's fellowship, to reconnect together and to focus on the God who has sustained us."
Brittany Howerton is a senior public relations student at Union University.

Insurer's 30-day prescription limit aims to cut painkiller abuse
The Washington Post, June 12, 2012
In an effort to curb abuse of powerful painkillers, Massachusetts's largest insurer is going to restrict doctors' ability to write new prescriptions to 30 days' worth of pills before a mandatory review by the insurer. Officials at Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts say the policy, which begins July 1, will prevent doctors from prescribing 60 days of a painkiller such as OxyContin, for example, for a minor problem such as a sprained ankle. Patients with such serious or chronic conditions as cancer or those who are terminally ill will be permitted to continue to receive opioid painkillers.

SAN DIEGO -- Giancarlo Stanton couldn't contain his smile because he couldn't believe what he had just done. He hammered an 0-2 pitch from Padres reliever Dale Thayer over the fence in right-center, an opposite-field shot that most hitters can only dream about, and broke into a wide grin as he rounded third base.
The ball landed in a sandy area at Petco Park known as "The Beach."
"That was the last thing that I expected," Stanton said of his two-run shot in the 11th inning on Thursday that gave the Marlins a 3-1 victory.
When it comes to power, nothing should come as a surprise anymore when it involves Stanton — especially when he's anywhere near his stomping grounds in southern California.
"Cali air, man," Stanton said of his success out west. "Grew up breathing it."
Stanton, 24, is off to the hottest start of his career and fueling the Marlins' early-season surge. With Thursday's victory, the Marlins took over sole possession of first place — the first time they've been in that spot since June 2012.
He leads the league in home runs with 11 and the majors in RBI.
And considering where he'll be spending the coming 10 days, those numbers figure only to improve. Stanton rakes out west.
Of the six ballparks where he's posted a career OPS (on-base plus slugging percentage) of 1.000 or greater, four are located in the National League West: San Diego's Petco (1.183), Colorado's Coors Field (1.421), San Francisco's AT&T Park (1.089) and Arizona's Chase Field (1.202). And his OPS at Dodger Stadium — .926 — isn't skimpy.
He has averaged one home run per every 7.95 at-bats in the five NL West parks.
The only other ballparks where he's put up similar types of numbers, at least in terms of a high OPS, are Washington's Nationals Park and his own Marlins Park.
But Thursday's blast was unlike some of his others. It left teammates and opponents marveling. It wasn't a no-doubter the second it left his bat. In fact, he didn't think it was going to go out.
He didn't even put a "home-run swing" on the pitch.
"Heck no," he said. "No way."
But his "easy swing" produced a major blow that got the Marlins off to a good start on their road trip.
It all came about after Padres second-baseman Jedd Gyorko muffed Derek Dietrich's easy ground ball that should have been the third out of the 11th.
But it extended the inning long enough for Stanton to step to the plate. Thayer put Stanton into an 0-2 hole. Thayer's second pitch, which Stanton swung at and missed, was a high fastball that Stanton said made him look "pretty silly."
Stanton figured the next pitch had to be one of two types.
"I knew he was either going to throw something in the dirt or try to elevate that fastball again to see what I was going to do with it," Stanton said.
Thayer came back with the same pitch, and Stanton sent it over the fence.
The blow left Padres catcher and University of Miami product Yasmani Grandal shaking his head in disbelief.
"That's probably the best pitch [Thayer] threw," Grandal said. "He painted it. It was right on the spot. But there's only one guy that can hit that, and he was at the plate. I guarantee you there's not another player in this league who could hit that pitch."
Marlins manager Mike Redmond was awestruck, as well.
"That was quite a homer," Redmond said. "I didn't think anybody, especially a righty, could hit an [opposite-field] home run here. That ball was crushed and on a line. I don't know if you'll ever see a right-handed hitter hit a ball out of a ballpark like that."
If it's on the West Coast and Stanton is at the plate, there's always a chance you will.

Doug DeMaster, a research director at NMFS, announced on Thursday that the service is rejecting the North Pacific Fishery Management Council's recommendations on restrictions and closures in Pacific cod and Atka mackerel fisheries of the Western Aleutian Islands and will instead hurry forth with its own drastic measures to completely shut down these fisheries.
The goal, they say, is to adhere to the Endangered Species Act to protect Steller's sea lions. However, the protection efforts, resulting from a "jeopardy finding," are based on two of seven subpopulations of the western population of Steller's sea lions.
So by no means is it clear that this species, or even its western population, is in serious danger.
Yet, we are in such a bind, apparently, to protect a minority of a population of this species that we are shutting down an entire jobs sector in Alaska.
If NMFS wanted to shut down these fisheries entirely, and the council wanted to avoid closures altogether, why can there be no middle ground?
