Police legal advice gives spam RIPA protection
The voicemail hacking incident is still exercising MPs – especially the Labour ones who did little to protect individual privacy during the party's decade in power (see last week's blog). So when Assistant Commissioner John Yates of the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) gave evidence on "Specialist Operations" to the Home …
How to prove it has been read?
Since most voice and email systems have a function that allows a read message to be marked as unread how could any conviction under these clauses ever be obtained? Surely it would then rely on the prosecution providing evidence that this had not in fact happened. I've no idea whether the phone companies VM systems would keep these logs. Not all email systems that I have worked on log this sort of detail. Would it be possible to prove that the initial read was part of the delivery or part of an interception?
RIPA, powers given to the state? Near total. Protection given to the electorate? bog all it seems.
But.. in general terms, unauthorised access to a computer system is an offence under the Computer Misuse Act 1990 (as amended). So, if I broke into your email system and read your messages then I would be committing an offence anyway.
Voicemail is a bit trickier - does the law interpret voicemail systems as computer systems under the meaning of the act? Obviously it *is* a computer system holding all the messages..
I was about to point out the same thing
(IANAL) but surely the CMA covers both emails that have been read and received and ALSO those in transmission, so why invoke the newer RIPA at all in this case? Seems to me to be a case of a law that was passed that covered things already covered by earlier laws, and also some 'interesting' items, which might be 'useful', in 'unintended' ways, such as allowing your local council to go through your bins to make sure you're recycling properly?
Interpretation of the law, but not tested
What we seem to have here is a clever guy, being asked by the cops what he, or she (the gender of the QC not being revealed - or relevant) thinks the law might mean. They then take this as gospel and decide on that basis not to pursue anything which their chap thinks might not count.
So effectively this QC has decided what the law will be. I guess we'll never be given the chance to discover what an actual court - with real defendants, a jury an' stuff - would make of this, since the police don't seem to be inclined to present a case for their consideration.
This narrow interpretation, narrow to the point of almost making the law impossible to break, does relieve the fuzz of a lot of work. It's difficult to tell whether that's due to their avoidance of anything to do with 'pooters (such as not investigating identify theft) or simply that the law was poorly constructed.
@Pete 2
What the QC is telling them is "If you go to court with this, the defence lawyer will argue..." and we won't have a leg to stand on.
...simply that the law was poorly constructed
That would hardly be the first time.
I would imagine that every law has great big holes in it if you know where to look - the harder that you try to nail something down the more difficult it is to avoid catching other areas that you don't want.
If only the description of a law was restricted to a single side of A4 paper we might see some better law-making, which would hopefully be more enforceable as well.
Give the QC a lesson in information theory and/or philosophy and the opinion might change: the electronic part (voice or data) is merely an intermediate between the sender's and recipient's brain - surely a message cannot be "transmitted" (past tense) until it has been "received", which can only occur when all the information content has been extracted.
E.g. I might listen to my voicemail and leave the message undeleted because I didn't take it all in on first hearing. That a message may have been displayed or listened to is no guarantee the message has been "received", and until has been it is still in the process of being transmitted and so is still protected by RIPA.
Keep everything as proof you haven't extracted all the info yet...
Thinking aloud
What about email systems that keep the mail on a server and you read them when you feel like it. Technically I would think that as the only copy of the mail is on the server then you haven't actually received it and it is constantly in transmsission.
Remember that RIPA only relates to investigations carried out by public bodies, so it only kicks in if somebody accesses your inbox or voicemail in the course of an investigation. Anything else falls under the CMA (as Conrad pointed out).
RIPA's always been flimsy in terms of real public protection, when you look at it in any real detail - I'll let you draw your own conclusions there. The real question is what MPs will do about it now, given that they've found themselves in the same boat as the rest of the population...
Anon as posting from work
re RIP RIPA?
Some of the powers under RIPA do only relate to investigations carried out by public bodies, but these are things like the Commission and appeals Tribunal. where "they" don't want some matters to be heard in open court - however the basics, like the offense of interception, apply to everyone.
Not quite..
Well, not quite.. RIPA makes it an offence to intercept communications unless you are an authorised body (e.g. intelligence services), or if the subject has consented to the interception (as part of agreed employee T&Cs for example), or under certain other predefined circumstances. Any intercept that falls outside the predefined criteria is unlawful.
So RIPA could potentially apply in these circumstances.. but possibly only if you wanted to hit the offender with a double whammy of RIPA + CMA.
Poetic Justice!
TEN years of Labour rule demonstrate how worthless their plethora of legislation, much more than previous governments, really is.
Now the British Law books are cluttered with meaningless, police time wasting, legislation. How fitting it is that all these Members of Parliament become the victims, many of whom are actually lawyers, and really didn't bother to read the legislation they voted for rather they acted like sheep following Blair and Brown where ever they would lead them.
Re: Poetic Justice!
Despite all the sound bites I don't see any evidence that the current coalition is in any great hurry to reverse anything. They've made a few popular noises but everything will be slowly forgotten until the next election when they will make a few more noises, get your hopes up again then if re-elected conveniently let it fall to the wayside again. If they lose they'll constantly remind you of what they would have done.
Take the McKinnon case, the Liberals in particular were wetting their pants over that and promised instant action. When the time came for that action it was suddenly not possible to do anything.
In transmission?
What exactly do they define as 'in transmission'? Surely when you read an email that is sitting on your hard drive, after having been delivered or collected, will at some point be 'in transmission' again when it is moved from hard disk into memory? Or from memory to the screen, or from the screen to your eyes?
So for the paranoid, just turn off the 'mark as read' option... I must admit to being surprised that RIPA offers any protection at all.
Re : transmission
I'm unsure on this point as well. I'm also not sure, from the information in this article, how the author conflates 'transmission' with 'read' - to my simple mind if I have the contents of an email (for the sake of argument I only read things actually on my machine regardless of the intermediate steps) on my machine then it has _been_ transmitted regardless of whether or not I have read it yet.
I don't think that link between transmission and read status stands up personally.
Some interesting points in the rest of it though - food for thought indeed...
Perhaps why?
I think one of the problems quite a few people have about this is that they assume that once a communication - and please note, RIPA talks about communications, not messages or copies of messages - has been delivered or read then it can no longer be in transmission.
Traditional physical letters and documents behave like the stuff we played with as a babies - for instance they can't be in two places at the same time, or both hidden and in view - but electronic communications do not behave like those things, they can be (and frequently are) in many places at the same time, and most importantly they can have been delivered and still be in transmission at the same time.
Subsection 2(7) of RIPA is entirely clear on that point, a communication can have been transmitted and still be in transmission:
" For the purposes of this section the times while a communication is being transmitted by means of a telecommunication system shall be taken to include any time when the system by means of which the communication is being, or has been, transmitted is used for storing it in a manner that enables the intended recipient to collect it or otherwise to have access to it. "
Once you get your head around the idea that a communication does not behave like a physical object, it's all quite simple - but some people do have extreme difficulty with it.
Was the QC simply one of those with this difficulty? I don't know, and the question is clouded by the other politico-legal issues - if read messages are not protected by RIPA then the Police can do things which they cannot legally do if read messages are so protected, and they have plenty of motivation to want to accept "legal advice" which says read messages aren't protected, even if it's clearly wrong.
Perhaps it's all in the choice of advisor. The police choose who advises them - wasn't there a recent case where they employed a very dodgy pathologist in a case where there was obvious public interest and accusations of Police misconduct, or even manslaughter, and the most competent and upright pathologist available should have been chosen?
You are wrong about RIPA only applying to public bodies the same tack was used by phorm et al.
Read the following
or search for "Demon RIPA"
you have to read on
"(7)For the purposes of this section [b]the times while a communication is being transmitted by means of a telecommunication system shall be taken to include any time when[ the system[/b] by means of which the communication is being, or has been, transmitted is [b]used for storing it in a manner that enables the intended recipient to collect it or otherwise to have access to it.[/b]"
this is several paragraphs further on from the bit the QC referred to.
This seems to suggest to me (and I'm NAL) that if the email is stored on a server, then RIPA still counts.
Maybe the QC was a bit too lazy to read the whole act?
Same old nonsense, yet again.
RIPA section 2(2) says that an interception can only be of a communication "while being transmitted". Section 2(7) says:
" For the purposes of this section the times while a communication is being transmitted by means of a telecommunication system shall be taken to include any time when the system by means of which the communication is being, or has been, transmitted is used for storing it in a manner that enables the intended recipient to collect it or otherwise to have access to it. "
That doesn't say protection stops when the message has been transmitted - it fact it says exactly the opposite. The "advice" is plainly wrong.
A suitably stored message will be in transmission for s.2 purposes (defining interception) even after it "has been, transmitted ".
This "legal advice" is strongly reminiscent of the Watkin Phorm email - self-serving nonsense. So yes, I want to see it too.
Am I missing something?
You aren't worried that the police have no powers to prevent and prosecute people for accessing your personal info, you're worried instead the police might want to access it?
Ah, but...
Keep in mind that there are degrees of reading an email. A spam filter will scan it and tell you if it's spam or not. That's extracting just a bit of the information. If you open the email, you may find the content is in an attachment. Until you open that, you've still only partly read the email. Even when it's all displayed, you may still have to scroll the screen to see all (or even any) of the content. Until you've done that, you haven't read the email.
And what if you mis-read it? People often mis-read things when in a hurry and have to return to read it properly when they discover their error. Or maybe they didn't notice the attachment, or didn't listen to all of the attached sound file?
You see? Reading an email isn't black and white. At what point does RIPA cut off?
This is all nonsense
If the voicemail or e-mail arrived at the destination server and the destination server has responded OK, it's been delivered. If it hasn't it's still being transmitted.

- Consistent and GREAT VIEWSSullyDined on 10/17/2014Not many restaurants have a view of Boston and the water - Charlene is the best waitress, pleasant service. Food is always consistent and good- at 6:30 on a Friday we sat at a window which was great and it was quiet but by 7 or 7:30 the place was a little too noisy for me with a couple of large groups- Also great for lunch!!Special Features:

- Venezia still a good optionJAZARKDined on 10/5/2014I asked for and received a nice table with a great view. Our waitperson was attentive and personable.

The service was excellent, and the food was well prepared, beautifully served, and very tasty. Within the past couple of years, Venezia has updated its decor, making it a modern and attractive venue for lunch or dinner; and they continue to have well appointed function rooms. I've gone there occasionally over the past two decades or so, and Venezia remains a hidden gem. It is well worth finding.Special Features:

- Special EveningFamilyvisitDined on 8/29/2014We had a very special dinner before my brother and his wife headed back to Florida. We knew this location for 25-35 years, even before it was Venezia. The evening was beautiful, the view spectacular and the food was outstanding. We had dined here last year for the same occasion and it was even better this year. The bar looked pretty active as well, of course it was a summer Friday evening. Thanks.Special Features:

Have recommended to others and would return.

- excellant food , filthy dining roompattyDined on 8/3/2014I have eaten here many times and have always loved the food. It'sdelicious and the view is amazing. Today is the first time I have been disappointed. The food was still great but the dining room was filthy. The place opens at 400 on Sunday and we got there at 430. The dining area was very dirty. There was random paper, French fries and toothpicks on the floor. The table next to us had a crushed takeout coffee cup under a chair and several tables had silverware on the floor. How can a place be so dirty a half hour after opening,clearly there was an earlier private function or the trash was from last night. I asked to speak to a manger(who never came) and was quizzed about why ,as a p customer I don't need to tell staff my reasoning.
- mikeDined on 8/2/2014The view is great, food is good, not great, service was tense, happy birthdays abounded and that was nice, but the acoustics are awful. I have treated my family several times at your restaurant but I never can never hear what family members are saying. And we were thrust in the middle so we heard everybody else but not ourselves. I don't think the problem can be fixed but an intimate dinner is not possible there.Special Features:
- one of our new favs2lblobsterandwineDined on 8/1/2014My husband and I have only 3 regular favorites we like to go to for our special nights out. I like to use openTable for our reservations so when when the screen loaded with all the local restaurants I saw this one and and clicked on it because it said outside dining and I was just curious. I read the reviews and decided to go completely against our norm. I'm glad we did. I reserved outside dining but it was overcast when we arrived. The hostess asked us if we still wanted outside, my husband did. We were the only ones outside but they still allowed us to sit there. The service was impressive and by far better than any other place we had been. The food was delicious and memorable, 2 lb lobster and lobster scampi...delicious.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Lovely evening at VeneziaweloveitaliaDined on 7/29/2014I booked a reservation for 8 people the night before our dinne with a requested view of the water. Venezia met all of our needs as we had a corner table overlooking the water and the city. Staff was pleasant and the ambiance was perfect for a nice chat with a group.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Summer delight...KelsDined on 7/29/2014The weather was beautiful and the view of Boston great! We had a table by the window while enjoying scrumptious food. Venezia is a favorite of mine as well as my guest. Your notice of double points for 29th came to me after I had booked and dined. Since I dined on the 29th, do I get the double points???? That would be really nice.Special Features:
- Monday night. 7.28.14-poor serviceArtVeeDined on 7/28/2014Not enough waitstaff...only 2 and we waited 15 minutes BEFORE asking a non-waitstaff person to get ssomeone to take our order for a bottle of wine. Then we waited ANOTHER 10 minutes before anyone stopped at the table. Then we got our bread. Finally got the wine.....no apologies for the lack of service. Would have walked out had it not been a special date at Venezia. Rest of evening was good. Management needs to figure out how to provide superior customer service....because their entree prices are on the expensive side. You can accept higher prices if you get great service!! Have eaten here for years....and, if we were first tine diners we would never return...this is a wake up call for ManagementSpecial Features:
- VeneziaLpastDined on 7/25/2014There were 3 of us and it was a mini reunion of friends who worked together years ago. All of us loved the food, the view and atmosphere. Parking was easy. Great lunch!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice outdoor seating on waterGNOFanDined on 7/23/2014We picked Venezia because it had the option of outdoor dining on the water. We were taking our 85 year old father out for his birthday. We thought we'd try some place new; turns out he goes there every so often and especially likes the bar. Our food was good, not great. It was a lovely summer evening to eat outdoors. Venezia is off the beaten path, but between google maps and all the restaurant's directional signs, it was very easy to find.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- On the waterMattDined on 7/6/2014This is one of our favorite places to dine on the water. Great food, service, and ambience. Their halibut specials are excellent and so is the cioppino. Great lunch specials too.Special Features:
- Beautiful ViewTimNDined on 6/27/2014Venezia has a beautiful view, but that is about it. The food was good but great. Worst of all, our server did not pay attention to us except when it was time to pay. Perhaps we'll give it another shot, but I'd request a different server.Special Features:
- MikeDDined on 6/26/2014Quiet dining room. Great view of Boston Harbor…Calamari with hot peppers was lightly breaded and very flavorful although somewhat smaller portion than past experience. Never got a Caesar salad that was ordered with dinner and other than an embarrassed "sorry" no mention or substitute was offered. Swordfish special was excellent, short ribs, scallop dinner very good and chicken cutlets were a huge portion. Tiramisu and sorbet were also very good. Made 5PM reservations as we were heading into Boston for a 7:30 show which avoided traffic and from restaurant we were 20 minutes from our show seats in Boston. Make reservations as there was a wait on our way out. We ordered house wine and purchased several bottles next door at the Boston Winery.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Beautiful view of BostonElpesoteVIPDined on 6/19/2014Restaurant was completely renovated back in January of this year. Best view of Boston skyline. Lobster Venizia was delicious! Chunks of 2lbs of lobster grilled and shelled then mixed with pesto angel hair pasta. Wife had nightly special pasta dish of lobster, peas, tomatoes in a white wine sauce. Shrimp cocktail was served old school in a parfait glass with 4 poached large fresh shrimp. Wife had a tuna avocado salad with a soy and mustard mix. Service was excellent. Reservations are a must any day of the week and when made make sure a table with a view of the Boston skyline is requested. At night the view is fantastic. Very romantic.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

It's situational. You won't always use it, but the times you can use it could mean all the difference between getting an emergency WoG off or failing.
I've freed some up by using Opie, which has let me put crusader strike on my bars, but eh, still not really sure using a gcd on it is worth it. Especially if mobs have an aoe that you have to run out of, that running is time not spent healing.
Ka Pai, GMT+12 recruiting now!
I dont have any mana problems but i try and judge as much as im allowed. Usually you will oom when people are not using cc's and interrupting. Also when people in my groups arent avoiding damage very often i just let them die off. (teach them a lesson bout standing in fires) Also picking up a trink with a spirit proc will help you out a ton, if u have mastery on it reforge it to haste. Also GoAK is ur best friend for big damage spikes. Also your wings and DF (basically heroism on demand) can usually outheal any damage put out fairly easily. Ive never had a use for CS since its a waste of a gcd since ur judgements heal tank a little and gives back around 3.2k mana.
hmm, it seems to me that everyone is forgetting that HPW can be acquired through healing the tank directly while they have beacon on, its a REALLY cheap way to get 3 holy power really fast, and especially in a situation where the tank isn't taking very much damage. I've definitely found it's hard not to go into melee range and still have mana at the end of the fight, seems to me like Blizzard is trying to lean us towards being melee casters rather than ranged casters.
In addition, it hurts our utility a bit--part of what makes us so strong at the moment is our ability to spot heal the entire raid without having any mana issues.
i did not know it was only divine light and FoL, on the talent it says with Holy Light as well... at any rate, i'm not neglecting HS, i use it all the time, but i still run into the mana issues... i don't really understand, how does building holy power while keeping the tank alive affect our utility? isn't our job to keep the tank alive? also, i don't think anyone here can say that they can "spot heal" a raid, and keep a tank alive and not have mana issues.
Our primary role going forward will still probably be as Tank healers, aka healing the Tank and Off-Tank. However, Blizzard has given us additional tools (and then subsequently nerfed them into oblivion... ...) to also be better raid healers when it's needed. Blizzard's goal was to give Holy Paladins more options, but, in raids, we're still likely to be the Tank healers 9 times out of 10. So you'll be using Holy Lights on the Tanks until the damage gets so intense that you need a Flash of Light or Divine Light and you can toss out your occasional Holy Shock on a raid member if needed (topping them off with it will likely only snipe another healer's heals) and, of course, remember to use your Word of Glory for mana efficiency.
Ka Pai, GMT+12 recruiting now!
i think the key to all the mana issues would have to be answered by HPW itself. Hpw allows a paladin to get off heals without using mana. I use WoG almost more often than HL, FoL, DL even when i only have 2 hpw (any heal will increase someones hp) and i have also noticed that any FoL/DL cast on a party member that is transferred to the beacon can trigger the generation of a hpw charge. If you keep a mentality of "as long as we are alive we are winning" mentality and use your WoG alot and HS on every cd and just spot heal the rest of the raid/party with a LoD or DL when you can manage, I have found that to be a fool proof strategy in staying alive in most every dungeon i have been in. I havent yet had to use judgement on cd or CS (tbh i didnt even think of it to be feasible as a holy paladin) and still not having problems in any dungeons.
There's really no reason to not judge on CD, and it's 15% of your base mana returned which is approximately half of a Flash of Light, plus an additional 4% of Base mana just for being a melee hit. The Crusader strike is just to generate extra HPW if needed, in most cases it won't be. But getting 3 charges for WoG is much better than casting it early, UNLESS you need that instant heal right away to save someone, which, of course, is always better than waiting an extra few seconds to get the extra charge.
Just judge every CD and you will be fine.
Use holy shock every CD aswell.
When the speed proc comes up, use divine light...and 3stack WOG who ever needs it.

A second priest serving at St. Joseph's Catholic Church-Hessen Cassel in Fort Wayne has been removed from ministry after what diocesan officials Wednesday called a credible allegation of sexual abuse of a minor 20 years ago in Africa.
The Rev. Cornelius Ryan was removed as parish administrator June 10, said Sean McBride, diocese spokesman, the same day the diocese's bishop, the Rev. Kevin C. Rhoades, learned of the allegation from the head of Ryan's order, the U.S. Province of the Congregation of the Holy Cross.
The move was announced to parishioners at Masses on Saturday and Sunday, McBride said.
Bishop Rhoades and really all of us at the diocese are heartbroken at these events, McBride said, adding the diocese's first concern is for the the spiritual comfort and safety of parishioners.
He said no one from St. Joseph's or elsewhere has come forward with any allegations about Ryan.
Ryan was appointed St. Joseph's temporary administrator by Rhoades in December 2011, after the parish's previous priest, the Rev. Thomas Lombardi, was accused of sexual abuse while serving at St. Louis Catholic Church-Besancon, outside New Haven.
Lombardi's case has been referred to the Vatican and remains pending, McBride said.
Calling Ryan a much-loved priest, he said grief counselors had been at the church and other priests have been available for Mass and parish concerns. He said the situation appears a coincidence, but added: It's devastating. I can't imagine what some of the parishioners are going through right now.
McBride said he had no information about Ryan's previous assignments and said the matter is being handled by the Congregation of the Holy Cross, which is based at the University of Notre Dame in South Bend.
He said another administrator for the parish could be named as early as this weekend, and Rhoades hopes to have a new priest in place by July 16.
Rhoades is on an annual weeklong retreat with diocesan priests and they are praying every day for the people of St. Joseph's, McBride said, referring other questions to the congregation and its superior, the Rev. Thomas O'Hara.
O'Hara and a spokeswoman for the order could not be reached for comment Wednesday afternoon.
The diocese's 2011 directory lists Ryan as administrator at St. Therese-Little Flower Catholic Church in South Bend, and a history on the church's website lists him as beginning his ministry there in 2001.
A national directory of Holy Cross priests lists Ryan as having served in Uganda, and a website for a youth soccer clinic run by Ugandan native Vee Batu calls Ryan a renowned high school soccer coach in Uganda.
Reached by phone in Charleston, S.C., Batu expressed disbelief at the allegation. He said he knew the priest as a coach of the boys' soccer team at St. Henry's College in Masaka in Uganda from 1991 to 1994 or 1995.
Oh no, no, no, no, nothing like that. There was nothing I ever heard about, he said, asked about the record of the priest. He said he had spoken by telephone with Ryan, whom he called exemplary, several weeks ago, sharing news about international soccer.
That's unbelievable. Not him. He could not, I cannot imagine it, Batu said.
According to a national directory of Holy Cross priests, Ryan was ordained in 1966 and went to Fort Portal, Uganda, in 1967 and stayed there until 1999. He then spent time in Kenya.
In 2001, he returned to the order's Provincial House in South Bend.
Anne Barrett Doyle, a spokeswoman for Bishop-accountability.org., which tracks pedophile priests internationally, said in recent years said it's not infrequent for old allegations of abuse to surface from Africa.
Now that the global nature of the abuse crisis is known, Africa is the place where there has been the least exposure (but) we're getting more and more reports from Africa, she said.
To her knowledge, the organization had not received any previous reports about Ryan.
But she said it's difficult for victims in Africa to come forward.
What I've heard is that there are very strong cultural taboos against homosexuality, she said. There is still very little information coming out of Africa, but there's certainly more than there used to be.

Arraignment today for man accused of causing fatality on San Vicente Road
Friday, Sept. 6—A 19-year-old Lakeside man accused of causing a head-on crash in Ramona that left a 74-year-old Ramona man dead is scheduled to be arraigned at the El Cajon courthouse today.
Garrett Michael Sparks was arrested on suspicion of vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence shortly after the accident on San Vicente Road south of Warnock Drive about 7:40 p.m. Aug. 29, according to the California Highway Patrol.
Sparks told authorities he took his eyes off the road for at least 10 seconds while he was reaching for items that had fallen on his truck's floorboard from its passenger's seat, the CHP reported.
His 2007 Ford Ranger drifted into oncoming traffic at about 50 mph and stuck a 2000 Ford Ranger driven by Kenneth Frederick Crane of Ramona.
Crane was pronounced dead at the scene from multiple blunt force injuries, according to the San Diego County Medical Examiner's Office. Sparks was not injured.
Investigators determined alcohol was not a factor in the crash.

In an effort to attract more agribusiness to Albemarle County, one major West Coast brewery is considering Central Virginia locations to move east.
Stone Brewing Company is considering sites along the East Coast, and it could join the many breweries in Central Virginia.
"Our market seems to be able to support all of them," said Josh Hunt, co-owner of Beer Run in Charlottesville. "So I think there's actually space for a couple more."
Adding a brewery like Stone to Central Virginia would be a huge draw, perhaps spanning internationally.
"It would put us on the national and world map, really, as being a first-rate area for breweries," Hunt said.
Albemarle County supervisor Ann Mallek recently asked people at a town hall meeting their thoughts about a brewery in Crozet. One possible site is near the intersection of Route 250 and Old Trail Drive.
This stems from the county's analysis of target industries. The study reports that agribusiness is prime for Central Virginia for a number of factors, including accessibility to interstates and railways.
"The state has asked us specifically if we had opportunities to submit sites for some of these expanding enterprises, enterprises that, for example, want to have an East Coast presence," said Susan Stimart, the county's economic development facilitator, without naming Stone as the company. "We won't know the name, but they'll give us general parameters of what the industry is looking for."
Not only would new agribusiness bring added tax revenue, but potentially hundreds of new jobs.
"they're what we call career-ladder jobs, jobs that go beyond a basic minimum wage," Stimart said.
Beer Run is only about 15 miles from one proposed site. The owners say any addition of a major brewing company can only add buzz to the local economy.
"I think it'll be a great opportunity for these breweries to collaborate and really learn from each other," Hunt said. "I would be very excited. I'm excited for the potential of this."
The county's industry analysis stretched beyond Albemarle and includes surrounding localities. Stimart said even if Albemarle County is turned down for another Central Virginia location, there's still a benefit.
"If it stays within the region, that's a success for everyone, because that industry's presence in the region helps reinforce the strength of that industry cluster," she said.
A spokeswoman for Stone said the company hasn't made a decision, and officials are still reviewing sites along the East Coast to see which would be appropriate.
Stone plans on beginning construction on an East Coast facility this year.

New season, new feature. Welcome to the first instalment of Gimme 5, a weekly video offering we plan to publish every Wednesday here at ManUtd.com.
This week we're bringing you five of the best goals scored on recent pre-season tours. Next week we might show five great saves, five Rooney headers or five curling crosses. Whatever the topic, it's bound to be great content and we'd encourage you to watch it, savour it and share the link with your friends.
So, back to this week's video. We trawled the archives and dug out some of the most spectacular United goals scored on recent tours. Lee Martin and Chris Eagles feature with long-distance rockets, while Wayne Rooney and Nani chip in (ooh, see what I did there?) with a couple of sublime efforts. I won't tell you who rounds off the action in style, though: you'll have to watch to find out.
Watch and have your say: Which strike is your favourite?

Originally Posted by LoreWelcome back to the Tier 14 raid guide. My name is Lore, and today I'll be showing you the 25-man normal version of the Sha of Fear encounter. This is a very long encounter by current standards -- he has a 15-minute enrage timer, and many groups will actually hit it during progression. It requires 3 tanks on 25-man, and anywhere from 5 to 7 healers depending on your raid team's individual strengths.
The Sha of Fear really only has one phase. He will occasionally send a small group of players to one of three side platforms, but we'll start by focusing on the primary platform where the boss is located.
The first thing you'll probably notice is the circle of light on the floor directly in front of the boss. You'll want your tanks to stand inside this circle as long as they're on the main platform. By doing so they'll not only get automatic aggro from the boss, but they'll also create a large, v-shaped safe zone called Wall of Light behind them. Anyone standing inside this safe zone will take 10% less damage and also be immune to the boss's Breath of Fear ability.
The boss will cast Breath of Fear every 30 seconds exactly; you can track it either by using a boss mod, or by keeping an eye on his energy bar. When he casts it, anyone who isn't standing inside the Wall of Light will be feared and take a massive amount of shadow damage -- 165,000 every half a second, to be precise. As you can imagine, getting caught outside the safe zone pretty much just means you die.
However, you can't just sit inside the Wall of Light the entire time, as the boss will be constantly summoning Terror Spawns at either side of the platform. These will spam a Penetrating Bolt ability that not only deals a decent chunk of damage to whoever they hit, but also causes them to take 25% increased shadow damage. There will be a graphical effect on the ground where these are going to land, so they can and should be avoided as much as possible.
Now, the adds will have a shield in front of them that requires you to actually be standing behind them to land any sort of attack -- including ranged attacks. This means that DPS will need to run out from the Wall of Light behind the adds to kill them, while making sure they're back inside the wall of light before Breath of Fear comes. Any sort of extra mobility you can use here is extremely helpful. We've found Warlock portals to be particularly useful.
Note that melee DPS can stand behind the boss to get some extra damage in, but due to the adds and the Breath of Fear, they won't have much time to actually do so. Adds are always highest on the DPS priority any time you can get outside of the Wall of Light.
On top of spawning adds and casting Breath of Fear, the boss has a couple other abilities he'll use on the main platform. Eerie Skull is a random target nuke that he'll spam, which deals splash damage in a 2 yard radius. 2 yards isn't very big, but you will need to make sure everyone's trying to avoid stacking up as much as possible.
Every fourth melee strike, he'll Thrash the main tank, which gives him two bonus melee strikes on top of the first one. Tanks should try to keep track of this and use cooldowns when possible, and healers will need to make sure to top the tanks off inbetween Thrashes.
Finally, if there's no one in melee range, the Sha will use Reaching Attack. This is bad. Technically, it's an infinite range melee attack that deals Shadow damage instead of Physical and stacks up an increased Shadow damage debuff. Realistically, if he casts this, people are going to die. Since this also means nobody's standing in the Wall of Light, he should only ever use this if you're doing something horribly wrong.
That pretty much wraps up the main platform, so lets talk about the side platforms. Every 45 seconds the Sha will use an ability called Ominous Cackle, which will send 5 players off to one of the side platforms: the current tank, 1 randomly-chosen healer, and 3 randomly-chosen DPS.
Once you arrive at the side platform, you'll have to defeat a Terrace Guardian to return to the main platform. This is essentially a mini-boss inside the encounter. The Terrace Guardian should be tanked, but does use a couple of abilities. Dread Spray is the first -- he'll fire off several volleys of arrows around the platform. The first hit just deals shadow damage, but if you get hit twice, you'll be feared for a couple of seconds.
Now, Dread Spray is actually not random -- each platform has a set pattern that it goes through, so if you want, you can take the time to learn each platform's patterns and find the safe areas to stand in. However, since the ability really doesn't do too much damage, the fear only lasts 2 seconds, and there's a total of 12 different patterns to learn, we found worrying about that to just overcomplicate things. It may end up being necessary on heroic, but for normal mode at least, it doesn't really seem that important.
His other couple of abilities, however, are a much bigger deal. As you burn him down, he'll spawn Sha Globes around the room. If these are left alone, he'll eventually absorb them, which heals him for 5% per globe. You need to walk over these to pick them up, which will deal a small amount of shadow damage to you but also refill some of your primary resource -- so mana, energy, rage, etc. The tank should be trying to pick up as many of these as possible as they can best deal with the extra damage, but everyone should grab them when they can. None of them should ever stay up long enough for the guardian to absorb them.
Last up is Death Blossom. Death Blossom will deal a very large amount of physical damage to anyone in line of sight for 5 seconds. Everyone but the tank should run behind a pillar when he's about to cast this as it does hurt non-tanks quite a bit. While everyone else is hiding, the tank should remain focused on picking up any Sha Globes still active.
Now, it's very important that you kill the Guardian as quickly as possible - if you take any longer than 90 seconds, all three tanks will have been sent to a side platform, which means no Wall of Light, which means everyone dies. In a pinch, you can have someone else stand in the beam for a couple seconds (such as a Rogue with Evasion active) but that's certainly not ideal.
Once the Guardian has been defeated, a portal will open up where he was standing that you can click on to return to the main platform. That will also give you the Fearless buff for 30 seconds, which not only makes you immune to the Breath of Fear but also gives you increased damage, healing, and movement speed. Since you'll be landing just behind where the adds spawn, it's best to have DPS returning from platforms immediately focus on burning down any remaining adds before returning to the Wall of Light and focusing on the boss.
It's worth mentioning that the Sha seems to remember who he sends to each platform, so unless someone dies you'll probably have the same three groups being sent to the same places for the whole fight. There doesn't appear to be any way to control who gets sent, other than the tank, but you can at least plan around it as the fight continues.
And that's pretty much it! Once you get the basics down, it's just a matter of going through the motions until the boss eventually dies. This can be a really long fight that will definitely wear on the stamina of your raiders over time, but as long as you can keep everything under control, the strategy itself ends up being relatively simple.

Bruce Beck sits down with Stephon, discusses stuff
The intrepid Bruce Beck, who famously tried to make sense of Stephon Marbury on "Mike'd Up" last offseason, takes another crack here at the Point Guard from Another Planet.
Steph says he won't accept a penny less than he's owed, and insists he is ready to play basketball at a high level and help his hometown team. But he is aware other teams could use a point guard.
There's also something in there about nurturing the planet. I assume he means Earth, but who knows?
(At one point Bruce refers to "Mike'd Up" as "my show." Uh, oh. Mike Francesa doesn't read this blog, does he? Bruce also admits to Steph that he thought he was being "crazy" that night last summer.)

The father of SpiderMan 3 actress Lucy Gordon, who was found dead in her Paris apartment Wednesday, has spoken movingly about the daughter he describes as the 'light of our lives'."
"We have always been immensely proud of her and her achievements," said Richard Gordon. "We love her so much. She was called Lucy and she has lived up to that: she has been the light of our lives, me and my wife Sue, and daughter Katie.
"She was a lovely, generous, unselfish person who gave her all for others and thought of others before herself ... She has been the most beautiful daughter. We are obviously devastated."
The French agent of the actress, who would have celebrated her 29th birthday last Friday, also paid tribute. "She was sparkling, warm-hearted, touching and generous, and we will miss her sorely," said Elizabeth Simpson.
Police have ruled out foul play, but what led the promising actress to hang herself remains a mystery to her family and friends.
An unnamed male friend who apparently discovered Lucy's body is reported to have been interviewed by authorities in the French capital.

Thanks to @tokyotopia via twitter this morning, I stumbled on the rice field art phenomenon in Inakadate, Japan. Wow – I am impressed! Rice field art designs have been created in the Inakadate Village since 1993 as part of a local revitalization project.
In 2005, the message about the arable artwork meant around 130,000 visitors journeyed to this rural setting to capture some of their own photographic artwork.
A year later in 2006, the careful planning went hi-tech when village organizers of the paddy artwork used computers to precisely plot the planting of the four differently colored rice varieties. This really brought the images to life. And what amazing images they are. Lovely combination of technology and traditional rice planting techniques to produce art on the rice fields.
Using computers has meant the time it takes to calculate the position of the design on the rice paddies, is greatly shortened and the pictures are planned more efficiently and with greater detail.
Harvesting the crops of rice will start in late September – what a shame – in some ways it reminds me of the sand mandalas that are so carefully created and then ritualistically destroyed. Interesting comparison? This is my favourite one!
Have you got a favourite rice art picture ? After I posted this out on twitter – I realised how popular the rice fields art has become – Pink Tentacle have produced a great timelapse video on youtube – take a look.
