I reconstruct and set the scene in my mind of how it must've happened.
First my oldest brother, John Maupin LeBlanc III, strides out and stands on the portico of the three-story dormered brick mansion. He looks down across the five-acre lawn sloping to Virginia's Axapomimi River, a winding tidal stream that on that mid-August Thursday afternoon would not seem to flow as much as to lie soaking up sun before sliding on, reptile-fashion, into the day's hazily moist heat.
A kingfisher might cry and a great blue heron squawk as it glides to a graceful landing in greenish shade of the far bank. The infrequent breeze likely fails to rouse the weather vane on the crown of the slate mansard roof.
John, head of the family, is tall, fit, in his mid-thirties. He has the blunt LeBlanc chin of all the murky portraits inside the house. His wife, Eleanor, appears wearing a voluminous white skirt. I remember from my few glimpses of her a small pinched mouth in a doll-like face. I expect John wishes she'd slow to a more dignified gait, though it's his complete domination of her that makes her scurry around like a cornered mouse. Above all, John believes in composure.
Maybe he watches his blond son Paul, age five, whacking striped croquet balls on the lawn or rolling with the English setter's puppies. John hopes the boy will be a horseman. It's in the blood, he assumes. What isn't in the blood?
The occasion is the annual celebration honoring Jean Maupin LeBlanc, who in 1740 sailed from La Rochelle to escape increasing Huguenot harassment by Louis XV. On this day the family dresses in eighteenth-century costume -- the ladies in rustling floor-length silk gowns, snug bodices elaborately hand stitched, puffed sleeves with lace ruffles; the men in cravats, waistcoats, breeches, polished boots -- all without a shred of irony.
The idea was our father's, but the whole thing took on the feeling of a much older tradition even before he died. "In America ours is the bluest of blood," he'd told us.
John, who hates lateness, waits for our other brother Edward, Edward's wife Patricia, and their three-year-old daughter, Marise, to arrive from Richmond.
"You'd think a person of Edward's nature would be prompt for this gathering," I hear John say, checking his gold pocket watch, a LeBlanc heirloom.
"He's usually on time," Eleanor would answer, since Edward's a fussy, time-driven man. Eleanor would've taken my mother's place, and I imagine her fluttery hands smoothing an Irish linen cloth on the oak trestle table carried out and set at the portico's east end. Would she also rearrange the centerpiece of red roses as I saw my mother do years before?
"Usually is a word that ought to be dropped from the dictionary," John would quote our father. "It's a cover to evade the exact."
Exactitude was my father's hard lesson to John, Edward, and me, among other things, though I don't believe my brothers ever felt his fist as I did.
Now I see old Gaius walk on stage to set the table with the family Limoges. He and Juno also wear period clothing -- Gaius a sagging vest and badly fitting frock coat, Juno a long gray calico dress and a white kerchief knotted around her hair.
Maybe Gaius nearly topples crystal from his silver tray. John might reach to rescue the goblet brought over the sea from France. His composure perhaps conceals a wish to retire Gaius.
I close my eyes and conjure up a raincrow's plaint and a mockingbird's intricate parody of a cardinal. I remember Bellerive's sultry Augusts and insects chirring drowsily in the mown grass and along limbs of scaly water oaks.
John will be growing more irritable about Edward's lateness and would again lift his watch. I see him cross to the hunt board at the portico's west end to fix himself a bourbon over cracked ice and crushed mint.
For two hundred and fifty years, he might well be thinking, the LeBlancs have owned the land. And here, I have him invoke his sense of gratitude to Jean Maupin LeBlanc as well as to our own father and the long line of ancestral blood.
The river's course bounds the long front of his property. My land now, John must muse, and feel the full goodness of it. I picture him standing on the portico, his stance like a liege lord waiting for fealty. "My land, my son's, and my son's sons," he'd whisper, for certain.
The family is scheduled to gather at one o'clock. After drinks and conversation, they'll step to the table for a meal that never varies: chilled honeydew melons, sugar-cured ham, black-eyed peas, rice topped by raisin-thickened gravy, blackberry wine, and a chess pie served warm from Juno's oven.
When all are seated, John will stand at the head of the table and say grace. He'll lift his wineglass and repeat the words spoken annually by my father:
"We are gathered here at Bellerive to remember Jean Maupin LeBlanc, our illustrious forebear who possessed the courage to cross the great ocean. He planted the seeds of this family in rich Virginia soil to provide for his descendants the means to secure the blessings of a bountiful life --"
But before he can finish rehearsing the words, John experiences a sensation of weightlessness an instant before he feels the searing force of being hurled upward, and his world wrenches into a whirling disruption of glass, bricks, and flagstones.
Chapter 1
I rowed the leaking skiff through a muddy, brackish gut that snaked among reeds of the green, steamy marsh, the boat's bow pointed toward a low spit of land where my cabin stood among ragged cedars. Some cabin -- a plank shack I'd hammered together using unmatched pieces of lumber found along the eroding shore.
My inlet off the Chesapeake was too small and shallow for work or pleasure boats and had no identification on the charts. I'd named it Lizard. A red sun glinted across the murky water and off the flattened beer cans I'd tacked to my tar-paper roof to plug leaks.
Lizard Inlet bordered a swamp grown up with cypress, myrtle, and elder. Cottonmouths and the last canebrake rattlers in Virginia made it home. The swamp water lay still and darker than the tidal rise that flowed over the mudflats twice every twenty-four hours. Nights I'd hear the cry of a lynx and squeals from its prey.
Months ago I'd found the skiff half staved and sunk on a sand shoal and dragged her ashore. I'd repaired, caulked, and tarred the bottom. Using a drawknife, I'd fashioned oars from split lengths of a cedar felled by a nor'easter. In purring coals I'd heated leaf springs swiped from a wrecked Chrysler at the junkyard and hammered myself a pair of oarlocks.
Gill nets, crab pots, floats, poles, buckets, and scrap lumber had collected around my shack. I'd dug a pit, lined it with oyster shells, and covered it with angle iron and wire mesh. I used it to do my cooking except during rains or the coldest weather.
A stovepipe stuck from the shack's roof. My outhouse I'd framed and covered using two-by-fours and galvanized sheets salvaged from the dump. When the crapper's stench became so strong I gagged at my own foulness, I shoveled out another hole and moved the frame. Not often. I could tolerate lots of stink.
I hauled the skiff among reeds and made the painter fast using a clove hitch around a pine stump. Laughing gulls had followed me in, and they squabbled overhead. A rockfish lay at my feet. The striper had to weigh eight pounds. As I hooked a finger under its gill to lift it, a man stepped from cedar shade.
He wore shin-high black shoes, light brown uniform trousers that had dark brown outer seams, a white V-collared sport shirt, and a white Panama hat. The butt of a Colt .38 Police Special gleamed from an oxblood leather holster. He ambled toward the skiff, his full cheeks jostling with each step. Sweat shone on either side of a lumpy, porous nose.
Fear rose in me like a rotted log stirred up from the swamp's bottom.
"Nice catch," he said, his face half turned, a mocking look that positioned his eyes at the edge of their sockets. He smiled, yet only the left side of his mouth raised.
He wasn't the local game warden, whom I knew by sight. Maybe the new Drake County sanitarian. Were they armed now?
The Health Department and fire-breathing environmentalists wanted my privy gone, though any pollution I caused to seep into the bay was nothing compared to what the yachtsmen flushed overboard -- classy air-conditioned turds. The real filth was fucking man himself, occupying the earth and seas.
I didn't speak. I crossed to my cleaning bench, a heavy plank nailed and braced between cedars. I drew my fish knife from its sheath attached to my belt, which I'd made by stitching together strips of leather carved out of a discarded army boot. I cut into the striper just below a gill slit. Blood welled over the blade I kept honed on a whetstone. At Lizard Inlet I lived by my knife.
"Ain't the taking of stripers illegal this time of year?" the man asked. He knuckled back the Panama. His red hair was short and kinky. He hooked thumbs over his hip pockets. Not a sanitarian, I decided, but more police shit.
"Found him floating dead," I said and made the next cut across the tail of the fish, whose last life quivered against my fingers. Stripers were strong and gave themselves reluctantly to death. I'd meant to slice off two fillets and use the carcass and innards to bait a crab pot. Maybe not today.
"Sure, and him still wiggling under the knife," the man said. "Make a better story to tell he just jumped into your skiff."
He acted as if we shared a joke. He was too redneck to be a Fed. He watched me pare between the initial cuts to remove a slab of mostly clean white flesh. I'd planned to grill and eat it with greens picked from my garden.
"You good with that blade," the man said. "Appears you don't care much for the law."
"The law's not cared much for me," I answered and felt the chunk of fear rise and shift around inside my belly. I'd learned terror from gliding, deadly shapes in black places.
"Oh I don't know," the man said, and a finger flicked a drop of sweat from the tip of his nose. He was younger than I'd first judged, no more than in his forties. "You been a guest at a first-class government hotel according to your record."
My hands didn't shake as I peeled the striper's outer skin from the fillet. Why would this shitkicker be looking into my record? Maybe the rich bastards at Sailors Cove put the law up to it. They'd been wanting to wipe my ass off this earth.
"Who you?" I asked.
"The question is, who you? Jesus, this place smells. You ever clean it up?"
I lifted a yellow plastic bucket from a nail pounded into the side of my cleaning bench. I'd found the bucket floating in the bay. I crossed to the water's edge and dipped it. I dunked the fillet to wash away blood smears, which looked too red against the white flesh.
"I been taking an interest in you," the man said and allowed the rest of the smile to work across his mouth.
"You must got time to waste."
"Nah, Charley, you make good reading," he said.
Charley, Charles, names shed, on no piece of identification in my frayed wallet, a memory seen only in flashes and quickly quelled.
I flipped the striper over to slice the second fillet. A shudder disturbed the blade's cut.
"Don't be dumb," he said. "Just check out your dance card and let us know who you was two-stepping it with August sixteenth last."
"This why," he said and slipped his wallet from a hip pocket. The cloth of his pants had worn glossy over his big, rounded butt. He opened and extended the wallet with its badge and glassine enclosed identification. "Sheriff Lewis Rutledge from King County."
I dunked the second fillet in the bucket before speaking. Words were traps.
"You come all that way down here from King County to ticket me for a fish?" I asked, but fear slogged. I gripped the knife.
He stepped back and whistled between his teeth -- the way you'd call a dog. A second man emerged from cedar shade. He wore a brown-and-tan uniform and campaign hat.
"Might add the illegal fish to the list," the sheriff said and repocketed his wallet. "Now you fixing to talk to me or not? August sixteenth, 'bout one in the P.M."
"I don't keep calendars. And I got no watch."
"'Fraid that won't buy it," the sheriff said and hunkered good-ole-boy fashion, his smile leveled to a slit. The tip of his holster prodded salt grass.
"I not been anywhere except to Sailors Cove," I said.
"You produce verification of that statement?"
"You probably noticed I don't live in a place that keeps verifications handy."
"You a bona fide hermit, huh? You scare children with that ratty beard. They smell you coming."
"I don't study times or dates. I not left here except for the Cove."
"But you coulda. Nobody round here'd miss you. You might be gone a week and who'd notice? Just slip away and back unseen."
"Why'd I do that?"
"Because your name ain't Jim Moultrie at all but Charley LeBlanc. That good enough reason?"
"A name's no reason for anything," I said and dipped the knife blade to rinse it.
"Well what you think about this? I'm carrying a piece of paper here signed by a circuit-court judge that invests me with the authority to take you into custody and ride you back up to King County for questioning."
The sheriff stood and drew the folded paper from the other hip pocket. He tapped a stubby index finger against the writ.
"Not a hell of a lot," I said.
"You can pack a bag, but I got to watch everything you stick in."
"Don't own a bag."
"Charley, what say we then just put our feet on the path?"
"My fillets?" I asked and held them across my palms.
"Let's wrap and take 'em. They be too tasty to waste on them frigging gulls."

(PRWEB) April 29, 2014
Q Scores is pleased to announce the release of its 2014 Sports Q Study.
This annual report covers 600+ sports personalities including active and retired athletes, managers, coaches, broadcasters, commentators, and league executives. The study also demographically profiles the fans of 40 sports and activities.
The Sports Q Study includes a variety of sports covering all of the major sports (basketball, football, baseball, auto racing, hockey, etc.) as well as extreme sports athletes. It measures the current familiarity and emotional connection with a broad range of sports personalities among a nationally representative sample of sports fans between 13 and 64 years of age.
"Those interested in Sports Q can purchase a personality ranking for a specific sport, for a specific demographic target such as men 18-34 – whatever definition meets your primary objectives," says Henry Schafer, executive vice president of Q Scores. "Interested in demographically profiling the awareness and appeal of an individual athlete? You can do that as well. "
Another available option is the breakdown of total sports fans into fans of specific sports. So, for example, the strength of appeal for specific basketball athletes can be assessed amongst NBA fans as well as fans of the other sports to measure their crossover appeal.
Sports Q purchasers can trend the appeal of any one sport or activity over the years such as tracking the appeal of basketball, football, fishing, gymnastics, motorcycle racing, etc.
"Many of our Sports Q clients also buy similar data from our general market personality study (Performer Q) to determine if the athlete is becoming more of a general icon beyond the sports world," says Schafer. "For many of these personalities it is important to determine if they're transcending the world of sports and able to broaden their marketing and advertising opportunities."
The results for each personality in Sports Q are based on a sample of 2000 nationally representative sports fans between the ages of 13and 64. A report can be delivered to clients the same day it is ordered.
For more information, visit http://www.qscores.com/Web/Sports-Personalities.aspx. Rather speak to someone at Q Scores on the phone about your specific needs? Call Henry Schafer at 1-516-365-7979.

The Tour de France started today -- in England, don't ask -- and it wasn't a good day for British fans, who saw Mark Cavendish go down as he tried to win the stage.
Cavendish, perhaps the world's best sprinter, had hopes of a great start to the Tour. The first stage ended in his mother's hometown, and considering the flat terrain of the first day's racing, he had hope of winning and earning the yellow jersey for the first time in his storied career. Instead:
Cavendish took a risk trying to squeeze to the front of the pack, and it did not pay off, to say the least:
The injury looked relatively serious and could end his Tour de France.

Mexico City Sights
Museo Soumaya
Museo Soumaya Review
One of Mexico City's newest architectural icons opened in 2011 and has one of the most valuable collections of art in Latin America. The largest number of works on display at this, the museum's Plaza Carso branch on the edges of the popular Polanco neighborhood, come from the eclectic, 66,000-piece collection of billionaire philanthropist Carlos Slim Helu (at this writing the richest man in the world), which includes many sculptures from Rodin and Dalí, the largest such collection in Latin America, as well as numerous paintings from Old Masters to Modernists and impressionists, including works from the circle of Leonardo da Vinci, El Greco, Tintoretto, Monet, and Picasso. But there are also many Mexico artists represented, including Diego Riviera. There's even an extensive coin collection. Each floor of the museum has a different layout, and you walk along curving, ramps to get from one floor to the other, not unlike the Guggenheim Museum in New York City. Interestingly, some paintings are hung so that they can be viewed from both front and back. Designed by the Mexican architect Fernando Romero, Slim's son-in-law, the museum building, which cost some $70 million, has a shape some have likened to a silver cloud, is covered by thousands of hexagonal almuminum tiles. The museum is most easily reached by taxi.
Plaza Loreto Branch. The original Plaza Loreto branch still houses four exhibition rooms inside a colonial villa–like building. But it's in the out-of-the-way San Angel neighborhood and is by no means a must-see. Skip it in favor of the breathtaking, modern Plaza Carso branch in the more accessible Polanco district. Av. Revolución y Rio Magdalena, Eje 10 Sur, Tizapán, Col. San Angel. Free. Tues.–Sun. 10:30–6:30 (until 8 on Sat.).
- Address: Blvd. Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra 303, Col. Ampliación Granada, Mexico City
- Cost: Free
- Hours: Tues.–Sun. 10:30–6:30

There seems to be some question as to who discussed with me that it may be a good idea to NOT Appeal the Obsidian Vs. Cox Case.
I had wrote this on my Marc Randazza Blog awhile Back.
"Marc Randazza told me that if I appeal it MAY create Bad Law and that maybe I should consider NOT appealing so that my case can be used to Lobby for others in changing laws. I was in agreement, and told Marc Randazza that I simply wanted advice from those surrounding the First Amendment Rights Issue and the First Amendment Bar, so that I could do what was best for all Bloggers, Citizens Journalists and the First Amendment Rights of All. Marc Randazza said he was very glad to hear that, and it made him want to work with me even more."
In the Video Below when I talk about First Amendment Bar experts recommending that I do not file appeal for possible lobbying efforts, it was Marc Randazza I was talking about. At this time I had spoke with Marc Randazza and was waiting for him to get back to me. I thought Marc Randazza was a First Amendment Expert and I wanted to do what was right for the Greater Good, as I made it VERY clear on our phone call.
After the call, Though, I found out, instead of getting back to me on my case, he assumed he was my Lawyer and was already negotiating with the Plaintiff without my permission, which violated my rights.
Here is the Video, This Interview was Dec. 12th 2011, Toward the End I discuss possibly not filing appeal at the recommendation of First Amendment Experts. I was talking about Marc Randazza and ONLY Marc Randazza. He claimed he had discussed this issue in great depth with other First Amendment Bar Issues. I also state plainly that if I appeal it will ONLY be with an Attorney.

Re: Warranty
Yes, the exceptions are a few, for examples batteries (where its based on the amount of usage over two years) and disposable items. The latter is interesting as a well known manufacturer of chip machines seemed to think that a plastic and metal filter counted as a disposable item (like a vacuum cleaner filter)
However the plaintiff contacted the EU who ruled in this case said filter did not count as a disposable, so the manufacturer when presented with the ruling, caved in.
Also contacting the EU is easier than the new fangled way of contacting the Trading standards, i.e. via the CAB. Out sourcing gone mad.

NSA admits slurping thousands of domestic emails with no terror connection
Re: As they should
Almost correct. In the days of WW2 and the Cold War once a circuit was identified then it was exploited for its traffic analysis and content for code breaking. The targets were pretty much geographically known, an embassy, a battle unit etc. Traffic was mainly morse, rtty, and voice
Now it is more difficult, there is a multitude of protocols, in a multitude of locations. To catch the target initially is like separating wheat from chaff, and then the bad wheat from the good wheat, its difficult, so it is easier to automate the process, ie scan everything.
Once a target is identified, then any non bad hits should be taken out of the equation where possible, they become a distraction like noise.
Ensuring this is done is not perfect.
I am sure that the people doing this are not really interested in the noise of mundane chatter, they are focussed on the job of getting the bad guys,
however as for the politicians who thrive on gossip and spin I am not so sure.

Re: Where's Diaspora....?
The government will always monitor your communications, it is in their nature to do so.
Websites cost money, so they resort to advertising as it is easier to collect funds this way.
Let the plebiscite get tracked, and you could investigate the many techniques to reduce your profile
or throw sand into the eye of the Panopticon, really its not rocket science.
I leave you a couple of quotes you can consider.
Governments, if they endure, always tend increasingly toward aristocratic forms.
No government in history has been known to evade this pattern.
And as the aristocracy develops, government tends more and more to act exclusively in the interests of the ruling class
-- whether that class be hereditary royalty, oligarchs of financial empires, or entrenched bureaucracy.
Politics as Repeat Phenomenon

Both oligarch and tyrant mistrust the people, and therefore deprive them of their arms.
PRISM snitch claims NSA hacked Chinese targets since 2009
and also the bit
The scenario of optical hacking might appear like the fodder from Hollywood hacksploitation flicks rather than a practical threat. However, Infoguard said that in 2003 an illegal eavesdropping device was found attached to Verizon's network. Investigators probing the hack reckoned it was motivated by an attempt to access the quarterly statements of a mutual fund company. The perps were never identified.

Re: Stupidity
But they can link an ip address at a certain time to a phone number, hence a person who pays the bill, even if the person is acting for a corporation, this is sufficient to apply pressure to investigate the usage of the connection.

Image Trolling Marvel Again With Bold and Startling Invincible Relaunch Teasers
- Written by Jude Terror on Tuesday, January 07 2014 and posted in News with Benefits
Source: Press Release
Yesterday, Image began sending out teasers for "the 1st issue in a bold new direction" for Invincible. The teasers coincide with issue #111 of the long-running Robert Kirkman series, following the solicitation for issue #110, which simply reads: "All good things must come to an end." This has sent the comics media into a frenzy of speculation over whether or not the series will be relaunched with a new number one, but The Outhouse is pretty sure we had it right the moment we first saw the teaser: Image is trolling the shit out of Marvel. It's something they've done before. Numerous times. The use of single adjectives, the implication that the book will get a new #1 issue, and the fact that the actual number is #111, three times the #1s, are all point to an epic troll on Marvel and their constant relaunching of series and their stupid single-word teasers.
Invincible is NOT actually being relaunched with a new #1 (though the series may indeed have a bold new direction as part of a startling new era). Image is simply flaunting their upstart status with irreverence in the face of their corporate competitors. It kinda reminds us of... us.
So Image, great job, as usual, not only trolling Marvel, but doing it while simultaneously publishing better comics than them.
Comics media, get a fucking grip.
We'll find out if Ol' Jude Terror is right (I am) at the Image Expo on Thursday.
Here's the two teasers so far:

Law Of The Playground - The Boy Least Likely To
- Band Name: The Boy Least Likely To

- Release Date: Apr 14, 2009
- Summary: The second album for the English indie-rock duo.
- Record Label: Red Eye

Positive: 7 out of 13
Mixed: 5 out of 13
Negative: 1 out of 13
Owen and Hobbs could have just rewritten their debut note for note, but instead they have chosen to take us on a journey that many of us know all too well. Here's waiting for the next instalment.
Good news for those who loved the debut's melodies: plenty of material on The Law of the Playground gives that luxuriant pleasure.
As strong and unusual as The Law of the Playground is, especially out of step in 2009, it never quite feels as inspired, as fraught with conflicted beauty, as past songs 'Paper Cuts' or 'Be Gentle With Me' or 'Monsters.'
The English duo's cheeky moniker implies some kind of inferiority complex, and while Owen is certainly not immune to wallowing, he spends the group's sophomore album examining loneliness and isolation through a number of different lenses.
A little less studio craft would have improved The Law of the Playground quite measurably and possibly put it on the same level as Best Party, since the songcraft and performances are nearly equal.
The Brit indie–pop act is still playing with glockenspiels and xylophones, churning out cute, charming tunes. But this time, the lyrics are a bit darker.
Now, there's nothing wrong with something throwaway now and again, but it's difficult to stomach over the course of eleven tracks.

Managing Catastrophic Risk
AbstractA principal reason that losses from catastrophic risks have been increasing over time is that more individuals and firms are locating in harm's way while not taking appropriate protective measures. Several behavioural biases lead decision-makers not to invest in adaptation measures until after it is too late. In an interdependent world with no intervention by the public sector, it may be economically rational for those at risk not to invest in protective measures. Risk management strategies that involve private-public partnerships that address these issues may help in reducing future catastrophic losses. These may include multi-year insurance contracts, well-enforced regulations, third-party inspections, and alternative risk transfer instruments such as catastrophe bonds.

Stories from Quick Reads and Switzerland
Gold Medal Winner's Touching Gesture with Peruvian Skier at Sochi 2014
Swiss skier Darío Cologna was awarded the gold medal on the 15-kilometer freestyle cross country ski race in the 2014 Winter Olympics held in Sochi, Russia. But in Peru he made the news due to a moving and exemplary scene: he waited for more than 20 minutes at the finish line for Peruvian Roberto Carcelén to shake his hand and hug him, for he knew Carcelen had competed although he had two broken ribs.
Carcelén broke two ribs during training, and nonetheless he decided to participate in a 15 kilometer race because he had already announced these would be his last Winter Olympics.
On Twitter, the news didn't go unnoticed:
VIVA el espiritu olimipico!.costilla rota y llego a la meta,Roberto Carcelen de Peru,quien creen lo esperaba en meta? http://t.co/C3B8r3kjGd
— Diego Arcos S. (@DiegoArcos14) febrero 14, 2014
HURRAY for the Olympic spirit! Broken rib and he made it all the way to the finish line, Roberto Carcelén from Peru. Who do you think was waiting for him at the finish line?
Un momento tan dulce que la nieve casi se hace raspadilla. Roberto Carcelén compitió hoy en Sochi – Rusia http://t.co/CzQOJCzjNf

A moment so sweet that the snow almost became snow cones. Roberto Carcelén competed today in Sochi – Russia.
The Worst Companies of the Year
Here were the nominees for the Public Eye Awards, a contest listing the worst companies of the year, was published by the website Public Eye. Organized by the Berne Declaration and Pro Natura, since 2000, the awards is a counter-summit critique of the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos. To date, readers have ranked Goldman Sachs at the top of the list. The reason for this is their actions in Greece :
A scam that amounted to half of Greece's debt, for exorbitant fees, a scam that led to the country's ruin.
A Traveling Exhibition to Expose Police Violence in Greece
A small team of Greeks in Zurich decided to expose Greek police brutality with a traveling photo exhibition in various European capitals. @Ypopto_mousi tweets a link to a poster in his blog, [el] which gives more information on his friends' effort to bring this project to life, as well as a police violence case summary.

Fukushima: No Place Like Home
'No Time for Anger [de]', a visualization journal by a team of Swiss media reporter and designers, illustrates Fukushima two years after the triple catastrophe of the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami followed by the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster on March 11, 2011. Fearing radiation, some residents sought evacuation to other areas in Japan, but the data visualization by the team shows the majority of people who fled actually stayed within the region of Fukushima:
We received data sets from the prefecture of Fukushima on the number of refugees and their current location for the years 2011 and 2012. We imagined that since this was a nuclear catastrophe people would flee from the region and wish to be as far away as possible. Yet, the numbers from the prefecture of Fukushima backed by researchers at the University of Gunma showed that the reality was quite different. The majority of people who fled actually stayed within the region of Fukushima.
Parallels Between Religious and Copyright Wars
Rick Falkvinge, the founder of Pirate Party, reinterprets the wars of religion that devastated Western Europe in the XVI and XVII centuries in terms of the current struggle to control information through overbearing legislation related to copyright and freedom of expression:
The religious wars were never about religion as such. They were about who held the power of interpretation, about who controlled the knowledge and culture available to the masses. It was a war of gatekeepers of information.
Francophone Africa: The Important Literary Contributions from Former Colonies
The Genevan blog of Rémi Mogenet, Le Savoyard de la Tribune, explains with supporting examples that [fr]: "Mythological African traditional stories have made a remarkable entrance into francophone literature". He quotes the Mandika epic tale of Soundjata, written and published in French by Guinean D. T. Niane, as well as, for Cameroon, Au Pays des initiés by Gabriel Mfomo and La Marseillaise de mon enfance by Jean-Marton Tchaptchet, without forgetting L' Anthologie nègre by Blaise Cendrars.

New York:
Politicians were on the sidelines early Tuesday as New York City marked the 11th anniversary of 9/11 at the National September 11 Memorial plaza.
The ceremony, somewhat subdued compared with previous years, began at 8:39 a.m. with bagpipers and drummers from the three hardest-hit agencies, the Fire Department of New York, the New York Police Department and the Port Authority Police, leading the way to the stage.
With bagpipes and somber bells sounding a sharp counterpoint to the commemorative moments of silence, the nation on Tuesday marked the 11th anniversary of the terrorist attack that brought down the World Trade Center in Manhattan and shattered the country's political psyche.
At ceremonies in New York, Pennsylvania and at the Pentagon, relatives and friends mourned the victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, attack by Islamic terrorists. The scenes seemed more personal than in the past, especially compared to last year's 10th anniversary.
This year, the anniversary was marked by having 200 people, working in pairs, read the names of the nearly 3,000 victims in the plaza near where the World Trade Center towers once stood.
Vice President Joe Biden attended the ceremony in Shanksville, Pa. It took place before a white marble wall with the names of the 40 passengers and crew from United Flight 93, forced to crash in the field by the heroic passengers and crew on the hijacked plane. The names of the dead were read aloud with two bells sounding each time.
Looking into cloudless blue skies stunningly reminiscent of Sept. 11, 2001, Biden delivered an emotional address. He told family members assembled at the memorial that he hoped each passing year grows easier and urged them to take solace in the fact their loved ones' deeds will not be forgotten.
President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, observed a moment of silence on the White House lawn at 8:46 a.m., the moment the first hijacked plane crashed into the World Trade Center. The Obamas then went to the Pentagon, another target of the al-Qaida attack.
There, the president — aided by a Marine honor guard — placed a white floral wreath on a metal stand above a concrete slab that read "Sept. 11, 2001 — 9:37 am." A moment of silence began at precisely 9:37 a.m., when United Flight 77 hit the west side of the Pentagon 11 years ago. One hundred and eight-four people died that day when the airliner crashed into the Pentagon.
"No matter how many years pass, no matter how many times we gather on this hallowed ground, know this: You will never be alone," Obama said in televised remarks.

Fabulous for any squash lover, and plenty of leftovers to take for lunch!
Experimented by trying this recipe, adding 2 teaspoons of garlic powder and using a combination of fresh/mixed thyme to add flavor. It seems to have worked because the flavor was there and my husband really liked it!
I added dried thyme to the sauce while cooking it. I then changed the parmesan to asiago. I also added 1 tablespoon of butter to the sauce. It made it delicious! Great recipe!
Certainly hearty but needs lots of work to have flavor.
I tried this recipe and made some changes that made a big difference. I added flavorful chicken sausage for protein and spice (and did away with the walnuts), I roasted the garlic with the squash and then added it, I used almond milk rather than skim, and I piled on the thyme. It still was a bit bland but at least palatable.
