Next Generation P2P: Measuring Growth in the Peer-to-Peer Industry
Take a look at three P2P businesses that are helping people find better deals, connecting strangers and are generating solid revenues.
Take a look at three P2P businesses that are helping people find better deals, connecting strangers and are generating solid revenues.
A Utah-based company says it wants to change how the world stores data -- and the Kickstarter community is taking notice. Co-founders Alen Peacock and Clint Gordon-Carroll led the creation of Space Monkey, an encrypted peer-to-peer cloud storage network. Space Monkey is cloud storage on your desktop, but it works differently than services we've become accustomed to, like Dropbox or Google Drive. For a $10 per month subscription, you get 1TB of storage and an included Space Monkey unit.
Like the idea of syncing files but don't trust the cloud? You're a prime candidate for BitTorrent Sync, the peer-to-peer service's app that copies and syncs files between computers. Introduced in January, the app comes out of private beta with new features today. BitTorrent Sync is an app that runs on Windows, OS X or Linux machines. Once you've installed it on two or more devices, just designate which folders you want to sync, then secure them with a "secret," (i.e.
The story of Napster, the peer-to-peer file-sharing service that disrupted the music industry, will soon be told in documentary form. The documentary will track the rise and fall of the music network launched by college student Shawn Fanning in 1999. Alex Winter, Bill from the Bill and Ted films, will direct it. As Deadline reports, Winter originally signed a deal with MTV Films to make a narrative, scripted version of the story in 2002.
Six days after an extended outage left its network inaccessible to many users for nearly 24 hours, Skype CIO Lars Rabbe has published a post-mortem write-up of the situation. Essentially, a server overload set into motion a chain of events that led to a perfect storm of problems and issues that impacted the very core of the P2P network that keeps Skype running. As a result, the service was down for many users for up to 24 hours.

A 26-year-old New Jersey man has plead guilty to stealing and illegally selling an Internet domain in a first-of-its-kind case. Daniel Goncalves of Union Township entered a guilty plea earlier today in New Jersey state Superior Court for stealing the "P2P.com" domain from Mark Ostrofsky, Albert Angel and Lesli Angel. Prosecutors will recommend that he serves a five-year prison term and pay restitution for his crimes.
So long, LimeWire, it's been fun. Seven months after the peer-to-peer file-sharing service was defeated in federal court, its company is preparing to shut down. In October, LimeWire stopped distributing its software and shut down its servers in order to comply with a court ruling stemming from its lawsuit with the RIAA. In June, the RIAA said it would seek $1 billion in statutory damages for the copyright infringement incurred by the service.
According to a poll we conducted last week, Mashable readers are using a wide variety of ways to get access to top-shelf television programming, including Hulu, Netflix and even (gasp!) regular old television sets with cable, satellite and/or network channels. But our readers' favorite non-traditional way to get TV shows (by a nose) was illegal torrent downloading.
Fall is here! For the unfortunate young, this means time to head back to school. But for those of us who've already paid our academic dues, fall means new seasons of all our favorite television shows. No matter what shows you enjoy, you'll have several options when it comes to accessing and viewing the programs you know and love. Lately, there's been a lot of talk about cord cutting and "over the top" content delivery, a phenomenon that's got cable and network execs in a panic.
Culture jamming pranksters The Yes Men have released their latest film on BitTorrent, unable to do so via conventional distribution channels because they are being sued by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. The Yes Men pose as corporations, governmental organizations or NGOs they believe are hypocritical or enacting harmful policies.
After winning a ruling against peer-to-peer file-sharing service LimeWire last month, the recording industry has told a federal judge it aims to recoup "over a billion dollars" from the defendant as well. U.S.
Cisco Systems has predicted that Internet networking traffic will have quadrupled between 2009 and 2014 in its Annual Visual Networking Index Forecast. It also predicted that online video will be the primary driver of that growth.
Music piracy. Both the issue and the term are hotly contested. When record labels talk about "piracy," are they referring to actual, piratical acts of theft, or are they talking about natural, helpful sharing within a community? And who says music sharing should be illegal, anyhow? Free software activist Richard Stallman certainly wouldn't say so. Stallman started the Free Software Foundation based on four principles.
When we talk about file-sharing, there's a whole spectrum of issues that usually get mixed up or treated as one when they're really very different things.
Mashable was in attendance at today's New Music Seminar in Los Angeles, where Spotify CEO and co-founder Daniel Ek gave an excellent keynote about the state of the music industry and the re-emerging subscription model. Since we have new music on the brain, we wanted to pose a relevant question for this week's Faceoff Series head-to-head matchup.
Sure, the Pirate Bay was shut down by its ISP two days ago but the story is far from over. After several false-starts, the Swedish company Global Gaming Factory X has approved its CEO's plans to purchase The Pirate Bay's domain. The company intends to relaunch the service as a legal file sharing site. Now, just because the board has approved the purchase doesn't mean that it will happen overnight.
If you're residing in Antarctica, chances are you are an employee of the United States Antarctic Program (USAP). If so - and according to the letter recently sent by the USAP to its employees - you should not be using any P2P or BitTorrent applications because they're...well, dangerous. The letter starts with an example that assumes that pretty much the only thing P2P users do is pirate games, and that they don't use any kind of antivirus protection.
As we've all learned, BitTorrent traffic has grown so large over the years that it has created enormous worry in the media world about lost revenue. And no doubt those concerns are legitimate. Yet it can also be said that the P2P space has grown so large that the panoply of sites which make up the space register many, many millions of page views each month. And anyone with a basic understand of Internet economics will tell you plenty of page views equal plenty of cash.
LittleShoot is a new web-based p2p file sharing site founded by one of the creators of LimeWire that could live up to its pedigree and then some. While being web-based naturally makes the service more attractive than downloadable file-sharing apps, LittleShoot has a few other killer features that could make it the new model for p2p. For one, LittleShoot is starting off by serving as a search index for services that already have billions of files, like YouTube, Flickr, and yes, LimeWire.
Before the current economic crisis landed with a thwack on our plate and ensured that few would escape the beast unscathed, I was really long on peer-to-peer. Totally bullish. And paid P2P - selling content on those peer-to-peer systems that content owners tried to sue out of existence - made sense. I thought, "eventually those Big Media dolts will come around and see the light." I'm not so sure anymore. At least not in the short term.
One of my fondest memories as a kid was saving up my money and making the trip to the record store where I would spend what seemed like hours going through the LP bins. Finally, I would narrow down my selection to what money I had in my pocket. Sometimes I would be able to get only one album, maybe two or on those rare occasions when there was a sale going on I'd get more.

Fan of P2P technology, are you? What about the Mozilla application framework? If both of these things strike your fancy, perhaps Joodo will interest you. Built to serve as a peer-to-peer device that connects you to friends and family to create a "personal sharing network" in which photo albums, video captures, and generally anything that you'd like to access across a range of remote terminals, Joodo is being made to hybridize file sharing in an intuitive, easily manageable way.
If Rodney Dangerfield were to have left this world prior to BitTorrent's debut, I suspect it might be plausible to assume the man had been reincarnated to consist of code and a mission to peer. Or something less ridiculous sounding, maybe. BitTorrent is hardly the technical target of governments and copyright-owning corporations and ISPs. But it has played the victim of their data filtration and server disconnection exercises again and again, and to ill effect.
MediaDefender, the ARTISTdirect-owned entity that's been as friendly with big-name copyright owners as it has been a nuisance to the peer-to-peer world, has done many things that seem to many Web users to be unusual and unwarranted. Like, say, issuing automated denial-of-service attacks on BitTorrent tracker operators.

We examined the levels of serum α-fetoprotein, carcinoembryonic antigen, and carbohydrate antigen in 83 of 400 patients who had undergone surgery for gastric cancer and correlated these markers with stages of the disease. In addition, we measured C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations in the sera of gastric cancer patients with silicon nanowire field-effect transistors (SiNW FETs) to determine whether SiNW FETs could be used to accurately sense CRP, a marker of inflammation and possible indicator of future progression of the cancer. We designed and fabricated SiNWs to be responsive to CRP. Of the 83 patients examined, six who showed marked elevation of CRP (>3 to 10 mg/dL, according to hospital laboratory measurements) were selected and subjected to measurement with the SiNW FETs. Our findings showed that SiNW-based sensors could be highly sensitive and specific in measuring CRP in the sera of postoperative patients and thus could represent a simple and quick method of prognostic evaluation in patients.

Forthcoming events
The VAHS New Researchers are currently planning a number of events for the 2013/14 academic year. These will include workshops and 'Shut Up and Write' meet-ups for the new VAHS writing group. Keep an eye on the website for details of the next Shut Up and Write session.
Monday, 24 November 2014
New Researchers' Meeting
Monday 24th November, 12:30–14:30, Bloomsbury Coffee House
Any PGRs or ECRs researching voluntary action who would like to get involved with the VAHS New Researchers' group are welcome to attend.
Monday 9th June 2014
Meet the Archivist
Monday 9th June, 12:30-14:00, Bloomsbury Room G35, Senate House
This event has been co-organised by one of the newest member of the VAHS New Researchers, Alice Kirke, and the History Lab. It is a great opportunity to hear from archivists about the type of work they do, how and why they became archivists and the projects they are engaged in. Whether you are interested in archives as a career or want to get a glimpse at the 'other side' of the profession, this is your chance to meet two archive professionals, hear about their work and ask questions.
The two archivists are:
Janine Stanford, a Project Archivist at The Children's Society Records and Archives Centre. She is working on the 'Unexplored Riches in Medical History' project which aims to catalogue and preserve the records of residential children's homes, giving a fascinating insight into the history of childhood diseases, treatments, medical care and social health in the 19th and 20th centuries. Janine will give an overview what archivists' do, what it is like as a career, and ways to enter the profession.
Alexandra Hall, the Education Outreach Officer at the Institute of Education Archives and is working on engaging new audiences with the National Union of Women Teachers archive collections. Their records connect with issues around campaigning and citizenship as well as providing an insight into the role of women teachers in the history of education. Alex creates resources, programmes and workshops for school children, teachers, adult learners and the local community. With her background in teaching and museum education, she will talk about the push to engage new audiences and the different ways in which archivists, historians and educators approach archives.
If you are interested in attending please register with Alice Kirke via e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com by Monday 2nd June.
Past events
New Researchers were well represented at our fifth international research conference. This year we were especially pleased to be able to recognise the excellent work done by new researchers through the CGAP New Researchers Paper Prize, won by Claudia Soares, and the VAHS New Researcher Paper Prize, won by Gareth Millward. We also secured funding for two fully funded new researcher bursaries: Emily Baughan won the Economic History Society Bursary and Marie-Luise Ermisch won the History Workshop Journal bursary. To find out more about the conference see our conference storify.
VAHS New Researcher workshops have been held at universities across the UK on a wide range of topics. These have included child poverty, imperial benevolence and campaigning in contemporary society. For reports on each of these workshops, see here.
New Researchers have always been encouraged to share their work at in VAHS seminars. These seminars have been on topics ranging from religious and medical charity to student volunteers in interwar Romania. Since 2009 these seminars have been recorded, you can listen to these and find a list of older seminars by new researchers here.
The first VAHS New Researchers conference panel took place at the 2012 History Lab Conference. George Campbell Gosling, Sarah Flew and Chris Moores each gave papers addressing the theme of 'agency' in different areas of voluntary action history. You can read the panel abstracts here.

Bass Pro Shops will open a new 85,000 square foot outlet near Interstate 75 in East Ridge.
The outdoor retailer, which specializes in hunting, fishing, camping and other related outdoor gear, announced the new store and said the shop will open in 2016. The Bass Pro outlet will be the primary anchor for the new Wolftever development.
This will be the company's sixth store in Tennessee as they currently operate three stores in the state; while new locations are under construction at the Memphis Pyramid, and Bristol.
"Having the opportunity to build a super outdoor store directly fronting I-75 will allow us to bring Bass Pro Shops low prices and famous friendly, expert service to serve the many sportsmen, women as well as the visitors to this area each year," said Johnny Morris, founder of Bass Pro Shops. "This retail attraction will be a tribute to the great sporting tradition and heritage of the region and a celebration of the sporting men and women of Tennessee."

Resolutions to Grow Your Home-Based, Small- or Mid-Sized Business in 2011Create & Run Your Biz, innovation, Marketing & Publicity
December 21st, 2010 1 Comment »
Alexander Hiam, the author of Business Innovations for Dummies, believes small business success can be as easy to achieve as six simple steps. As the end of a business year approaches, remember the old saying: Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting to get different results.
If you want better business results, especially in a slow-growth economy, you'll need to adoptsome fresh new resolutions.
The key to improved results is innovative actions that, while they stick within the limits of your budget, also take you in exciting new directions. Here are some resolutions to help small or mid-sized businesses innovate in 2011.
1. Be proactive in 2011. Things change, but do you? If your business is simply reacting to declining sales, then you are not being a proactive innovator. Be the one who makes change happen, instead of a victim of change. Resolve to take the proverbial bull by the horns in 2011. But how? You will need a few more resolutions in order to be practically and profitably innovative.

Visa and MasterCard warn of credit card data breach
Visa and MasterCard have been quietly informing banking partners that a third-party supplier has suffered a major breach of security that could let the attacker clone users' cards. According to Krebs on Security, the credit card companies are warning that between January 21 and February 25, a successful attack appears to have …
My UK Visa debit card was replaced in early Feb due to an unspecified "security threat". I was in the midst of moving home at the time. Despite many requests the bank could not give me any direct example of my account having been inappropriately accessed . Visa, who has supplied the original intel, wouldn't pass on the details it seemed.
Re: Victim?
Ah, interesting. I had a fraudulent transaction on my Visa Debit card in February of about a grand and a half - a purchase of foreign currency for collection. Got it sorted pretty swiftly, fortunately, but I wonder if it would have been so easy to reverse if the perp had had time to collect the cash?
Of course, despite my providing details of the branch the cash had been ordered to be collected from, both the police and the bank were completely uninterested in letting the transaction go and nicking the perp. Too much paperwork, I guess.
Re: Victim?
"Despite many requests the bank could not give me any direct example of my account having been inappropriately accessed"
That's probably because it hadn't been accessed. There is a difference between "security threat" and "security breach". And of course they won't give you details about the threat, that would be giving away details of a security hole that they haven't yet patched.
A PITA it happened at all, but it is the correct response.
Expect a perp walk soon
They make prison cells for people who hack.
Re: Expect a perp walk soon
Can't you think of anything new to say Morris, you're getting f*cking boring now!
@Shades - Re: Expect a perp walk soon
Morris? Oh, I didn't realise it was a real person. I thought it was a bot.
Re: Expect a perp walk soon
No perp walk. No one will investigate. Some government slacker with an 'Etch-A-Sketch' might twist a picture for ya. Agencies, corps and government are all busy counting their nose hairs and announcing the emphatic "no" response to every inquiry you'll make to resolve, react and/or proactively protect yourself from id theft. Short of hunting down the perps yourself. Forget it.
The system is crashing call around us and crime knows it and takes full advantage of it. So, why pay your taxes when law enforcement doesn't give a hoot, where social security (US) says, "non, no, and no" to every practical solution you may request, and the revenue collectors (just a mutated form of the age-old extortion 'protection' racket you pay on your block so the gang up the street doesn't move in) wouldn't know how and doesn't respond to tens of thousands of fraudulently filed tax returns generating millions of dollars in refunds.
Everything I say here is true and undisputed.
If you have 'inside' information, what's the risk El Reg would disclose your identity to a potentially-hostile investigator? If it's sufficiently high value, that might be spooks armed with a Court Order.
I hope your information is sufficiently low-sensitivity you won't be the next Gary McKinnon!
Out of the ordinary
If using the Esso garage a mile down the road sets off their alarm bells because the Shell station I usually use is out of diesel then they should be able to pick up bad transactions.
Or they could do what Nat West did and let someone purchase a mobile phone in a city I had never been to while labelling me using said petrol station as "suspicious". [rolls eyes]
Re: Out of the ordinary
I guess the problem is that buying a mobile phone is something people do very infrequently, once every couple of years, or at most once a year if you are a fanboi who must have the latest fruity gadget; whereas buying diesel is something you do pretty regularly, and going to a petrol station one mile away from your usual is probably more unusual than going to one many miles away - if you are on a long trip and need to fill up to get back home.
Re: Out of the ordinary
But buying said mobile phone in a city 200+ miles away when I have other normal transactions going on in my home town?
Re: Out of the ordinary
you may find that it was more a case of the other garage a mile down the road has been involved in a large number of suspicious transactions,
I had a card done by a particular local garage (1st & only transaction on the card) within 8 hours the card & pin had been used in London (UK) Sydney (AUS) and Detroit (USA)
It'll be the outlet staff on the take...
... 4 years back a colleague noticed that staff (IIRC a couple of young Polish girls) at Primark in Leeds centre double-skimmed her card, once through the regular machine and again through a scanner under the counter whilst one ran a bit of interference about packing etc. She got back to the office about 40 minutes later, rang the bank to report it and cancel the card, to find it had already been hit. The bank took care of it and in that case the police did make a visit to the store.
Re: Out of the ordinary
Santander has an unusual definition of ordinary..
I've used my card all over the country, and on the odd occasion in Las Vegas, Kos and Turkey (although these have been for the odd week, and not at all frequent).
Once a year (since about 2005), I've been buying an annual Travelcard online. Same date every year..
Guess which Santander declined.
Yep, the annual travelcard. They had no trouble with me taking my card abroad without notifying them, but I make an annual transaction here, and that's a problem..
Re: Out of the ordinary
And how much does your annual travelcard cost? Even buying mine in person, at the counter, via chip and pin required a call to the bank.
It's a weighting thing, certain transactions are marked as sufficiently suspicious that they are automatically refused, often that is because of the amount of money involved, other times it's because the site is suspect.
How long have they held onto this knowlege?
This happened as long ago as January and we're only now learning of it? what the hell!? Two months? They sat on this for 2 *months*.
Good grief. Someone call the media, we need some outrage.
Re: How long have they held onto this knowlege?
Probably at the request of the police, while the hack was being investigated.
Track 1 and track 2!!!
This looks like it is pretty fundamental in the manufacturing of the cards and the compromise would have happened at this point. Millions of T1&2 data released to the wild must be big news to them. And they are always going on about retailers getting PCI compliant - this kind of drives a truck through all this.
Perhaps the time is getting near where the numbers on a credit card should not be the valuable bit of the credit card. Other methods to validate the cards must be made available to make the storage of the PAN completely irrelevant.
Global Payments Download.

Yeah. The entry was "Joshua".

Re: Global Payments Download.
"Greetings Professor Falken... Shall we play a game?"
Anon Coward
Sorry you felt the need to delete your posts. I realise why, but your posts were much more informative than anything in the main article.
Paris, because there's a few things she'd probably like to erase from history/
Only 10 million accounts?
This should make some folks very unhappy. Who's gonna pay for this?
Chip not affected?
I assume this problem is only for those cards solely containing a magnetic strip, as opposed to having an embedded microchip as well.
Re: Chip not affected?
Chip cards fall back to the mag stripe in when a chip'n'pin reader isn't available.
This is why the Tamil Tigers cloning cards from UK petrol stations got the cash out in the Far East.
Re: Chip not affected?
Some do fallback, some don't, it depends how they're configured. My bank (co-op) run a fairly sensible system where if I want to use the card out of the country, I call them and tell them before I go.
Internal hack?
1) Most places do 2 factor authentication. You would need the token and the password for the token, so just stealing the token is not very useful. And you still need a separate password for the actual DB.
2)Track I is name stuff and PAN...Many POS devices only send track II. And internet trans would have neither track I or II. So not every tran would have Track I and II. But a debit/credit issuer would have both tracks in his DB, as he needs to issue cards with this info. Probably unlikely some external employee of a financial institution gathering this info from an external transaction history interface, as you would just get the track that was read by the POS device. Points again to internal.
3) You would need to punch through internal firewalls, or have a specific IP and WINS address that allows you through to the data. Not everyone at Global Payments inc. can get at the data. Once again, you need an inside guy.
4) If this data was encrypted (unlikely other than disk encryption for data at rest protection), you would need to be internal.
5) if it is a stolen disk or tape, you need inside info to get it and know what is on it.
6) Intrusion detection systems probably would have caught any external hacks. So either those alerts were ignored or bypassed. Once again, internal.
That said, I'll probably be proved wrong.
Re: Internal hack?
Most likely an issuer, but, if it is, then it would have to be one that is issuing millions a month, as they would not be storing the track1 and 2 data, unless specifically requested to by the banks. They can only store the data for a max of 30 days, perfering it to be deleted after personalisation. if they were not deleting it, they were either breaking mastercard and visa rules, or had another service provided to the banks that needed it, which would allow them to keep it if it was encrypted.
Is this me?
My MBNA Visa card suddenly stopped working only yesterday and when I contacted them it was due to "VISA warned us you had a transaction with a suspected compromised merchant in the last year". Is that likely to be the same thing and they didn't want to tell me the true story? Or an unrelated coincidence - it happens from time to time?
As useless as a chocolate teapot ...... or a case for compensation re fraudulent claim?
"It is reassuring that our security processes detected an intrusion. It is crucial to understand that this incident does not involve our merchants or their relationships with their customers," said chairman and CEO Paul R. Garcia in an email.
And very revealing that they cannot prevent an intrusion. Does the security software supplier only promise to detect, sometime after the fact, and not prevent and protect against intrusions?
"It is reassuring that our security processes detected an intrusion"
Yeah, just like a fireman could say "it was useful that we saw the smoke - it helped alert us to the fact that there was a fire".
Come on, guys, an intrusion detection system would have given the alert in time for sysadmins to actually do something about it.
What we have here is most probably forensic deductions from the analysis of access data. That's not what I call an "intrusion detection system", merely good sysadmins digging through the mounds of data on the trail of the perps.
If the hackers had inside help for their access, which is what seems to be rather commonly accepted, then they didn't trip any of the wires that the so-called "intrusion detection system" would have flagged.
On the other hand, kudos to the keyboard sleuths that found the trail and followed it. That is no mean feat - especially in a banking environment that is just about as complex as it can get.
ahem.. anybody remember Heartland Processing?
A large scale assault like this doesn't simply happen without serious intelligence of the innerworkings of the target. As in the case of Heartland Processing, after all of the process improvements supposedly implemented by the PCI, and based on all the crap I've personally witnessed in small and midsized data thefts, it's always fairly well organized externally and includes one or more people on the inside willing to sell out. Cheaply...
Here's a novel thought: Screen your people, institute penalities on personnel and management if there are data breeches and ffs encrypt the snot out of everything on the INSIDE!
Also, I'd seriously crack down on the companies that develop POS terminals and their associated systems. Here's another freebie idea, why not just do away with the third party processors all together? Card is issued by a bank and that bank interacts directly with the card companies.
This kind of shit, in my opinion, is completely avoidable and is inexcusable.
Also, while we're at it, why not just institute more severe penalties on financial institutions that are lax with their security as well as the individuals and the organizations they work for, that are convicted.
Time to hold all accountable
The 3rd party processor and the hackers should all go to prison and pay for the costs associate with this hack.
Re: Time to hold all accountable
You forgot to include everyone involved in their PCI audits.
Fresh meat on the way Bubba!
Somebody is gonna get an arse reeeming.
I found totally inappropriate vendor software doing horrible things, but it was wrapped up in an "application protocol" and unless you know what its doing, you can keep your PCI compliance simply by outsourcing stuff and "working with the vendor."
My rule is: only text goes in and out and it all gets verified by a network device as well as at the destination.
I've seen banks put in automated remote access protocol flows from web-frontend to database systems. Weirdly, banks are often not PCI compliant.
Most of the anti-fraud tech these days is behavioural, PCI is a great starting place for security but its limited to infrastructures and data-flows. It doesn't look at odd things happening with the data.
Re: PCI-DSS
Banks dont need to be compliant with anything, as its 'their' own money they are playing with.
Take some of these new instant issuance systems that are coming out, there are various tiers with automation, the cheap tier on one companies that i will not name, requires the operator to manually enter the card details, details that are supposed to be protected, and then it will just issue the new card for them.
Re: PCI-DSS
Banks do need to be compliant, because they get large fines from the PCI if they're not.
The PCI are mainly payment processors, who aren't only banks, indeed many aren't banks at all.
Down rated to 1.5 M cards hacked
I'll bet people feel better now knowing that instead of ten million cards being stolen, only 1.5 million got taken.

A regular meeting of the Weyburn City Council was held on November 22; here are the major points of interest:
*Council received an update on the renovations to Crescent Point Place (CPP) and the Tom Zandee Sports Arena from the Facilities Committee. The committee was given an update from Brent Waldo of Cardinal Construction.
Waldo explained that, like elsewhere in the province, construction deadlines have been affected by weather. At one point, it was hoped that the project would be completed by September.
Currently, the front lobby of CPP is 90 percent complete. Once this is finished, the lobby flooring will be completed, as Red Wing game schedules allow.
Items currently being installed at CPP include washroom partitions and tiling, and concession cabinets; dressing room #6 is being worked on and the outside metal will go on the new lobby entrance this week. The arena roof is 98 percent complete. Once complete, crews will move to the Sports Arena to finish the lobby roof and complete renovations.
Waldo told the committee that Cardinal Construction is committed to completing the project as timely as possible and has bumped up crew numbers when possible. Committee member, Councillor Dick Michel, said that they are anticipating the completion of the project by the end of the year.
*Council received a report from the Leisure Service Commission which met with Red Wings President Ryan Williams at their last meeting. Council was told the Red Wings are experiencing reduced game revenues due to the construction and discussed whether or not to reduce game rates until construction is complete.
Williams explained to the commission that with CPP's lobby incomplete, ice cream sales have suffered, which usually provides about $300 per game. Also, there are approximately 30 fans who regularly watch the game from the lobby that are not attending games due to construction, an estimated loss of $350 per game. Sales of 50/50 tickets are being affected as well. Estimated total game-day losses are approximately $700 per game since the season began in October.
The commission decided to table the matter until financial statements could be verified.
*Council amended a bylaw to increase some of the rates at the city landfill, the first increase in three years.
The City first did a survey to compare Weyburn's landfill rates to that of other communities, including Moose Jaw, Estevan, Regina and Yorkton. According to City Manager Bob Smith, Weyburn's rates were lower than any of the communities surveyed.
As of January 1, 2011, the monthly general environmental fee, charged on all water and/or sewer utility bills, will be increased from $4 to $4.15 and increased another $0.15 every year until 2013. The disposal rate for mixed demolition material, vehicles, mixed scrap metal and dead animals will be increased annually over the next three years. The reason for the increase for these types of materials, according to Smith, is the difficulty of managing the mixed materials and large items.
Meanwhile, a new landfill operator is being trained to take over for Chris Stehr, who is retiring at the end of the year. Connor Rodine will take his place.
*Mayor Debra Button brought up the topic of the ethanol plant during the meeting. She said that several residents have complained about the smell coming from the plant.
Button said that members of council are planning a meeting with Environment Minister and MLA Dustin Duncan in regards to the issue and, possibly, representatives from the NorAmera Bioenergy Plant and Weyburn Inland Terminal.
"We've heard the people loud and clear that they have an issue with it and we're working on it," said Button.

Transient charged with prostituting 17-year-old
A 44-year-old man who fled after Missoula police began investigating whether he was pimping out a 17-year-old girl has been returned to Montana to face charges.
Walter Leon Hill was charged in Justice Court Wednesday with prostitution and sexual abuse of children. His bail was set at $100,000.
Missoula police began investigating a prostitution advertisement for a 17-year-old girl on an online classifieds site in March.
Charging documents say Detective Chris Shermer arranged to meet the girl at a motel room. At the motel, he told the girl he was a police officer. The girl took officers to Hill's apartment.
The next day officers interviewed Hill's roommate who told them Hill had asked for a ride out of town. Hill was extradited from New York.

Freshman U.S. Rep. Mike Pompeo has defeated Democratic challenger Robert Tillman to represent the 4th House District in south-central Kansas.
The conservative Republican incumbent campaigned on cutting government spending and repealing the federal health care law. He bucked the rest of the state's all-Republican delegation with his support for ending wind energy tax credits.
Pompeo was elected in 2010 to his first term and was re-elected on Tuesday.
Tillman spent 30 years working on social issues, including 24 years as a court services officer. Tillman supports raising taxes on the top 1 percent of wage earners to help balance the budget.
The last Democrat to hold the 4th District seat was Dan Glickman, who lost to Tiahrt in 1994.

Chandler Research Group
David Chandler
Bruce Mahan Professor of Chemistry
208 Gilman Hall
Department of Chemistry
University of California
Berkeley, CA 94720-1460
(510) 643-6821
David Chandler is currently Bruce Mahan Professor of Chemistry at the University of California, Berkeley. He received his S.B. degree in Chemistry from MIT in 1966, and his Ph.D. in Chemical Physics at Harvard in 1969. He began his academic career as an Assistant Professor in 1970 at the Urbana-Champaign campus of the University of Illinois, rising through the ranks to become a full Professor in 1977. Prior to joining the Berkeley faculty in 1986, Chandler spent two years as Professor of Chemistry at the University of Pennsylvania.
Chandler's primary area of research is statistical mechanics, which he has used to create many of the basic techniques for understanding condensed matter chemical equilibrium and chemical dynamics with molecular theory. He provided the modern language and concepts for describing structure and dynamics of polyatomic liquids, a series of contributions that has allowed quantitative and analytical treatments of simple molecular fluids, of aqueous solutions and hydrophobic effects, and of polymeric melts and blends. He has also developed the methods by which rare but important events can be simulated on computers, techniques that have culminated in Chandler's development of a statistical mechanics of trajectory space. This work has enabled studies of systems far from equilibrium, including processes of self-assembly and the glass transition.
Chandler has published over 200 research articles. His influential textbook, Introduction to Modern Statistical Mechanics (Oxford University Press, USA, 1987), is appreciated by students and specialists alike for its novelty and pedagogy.

Manchester United Soccer Schools in the UAE offer kids a range of football courses that place great importance on football development but also encourage enjoyment of playing the game.
"Apart from the football coaching, they are also given help to develop
other life skills which are important both on and off the field, and
shown how to lead a healthy lifestyle." - Gary Neville
To find out more about Manchester United Soccer Schools home and abroad visit www.manutdsoccerschools.com
Gary Neville may have hung his boots up, but there's no keeping him off the football pitch.
In his new role as a club ambassador he recently visited Manchester United Soccer Schools in Abu Dhabi to help spread the message of playing football "the United way".
The former United captain was thrilled to take part in the latest sessions and was also keen to extol his vast experience to budding young footballers.
"The facility in Abu Dhabi is absolutely fantastic – it's a credit to United's name," says Gary. "I did a little bit of a session with the kids, spoke to the coaches and understood what it is that they're doing over there. The work that the coaches are doing is brilliant.
"Young players taking part in the Soccer Schools programmes are taught in the same way that United players like myself, Ryan Giggs, and Paul Scholes were taught."

About Andi and John Stix
The Stix Family welcomes you to the Hamptons of Puerto Rico. Our family has enjoyed coming to Palmas for over 30 years. There are so many activities and delicious dining, that it is difficult for us to leave... We are sure that you will feel the same way as well! My husband, John, is in the rock-n-roll industry and I, Andi, am an educational consultant. So, getting away from the Big Apple is essential for us!
Andi and John Stix purchased this apartment in 2011
Why Andi and John Stix chose Humacao
The Puerto Ricans consider Palmas del Mar their second home and top vacation area, just as New Yorkers run to the Hamptons in the summer. So, if they feel that this is the prime location in Puerto Rico, who are we to challenge them? With 25 tennis courts, two golf courts, horseback riding along a scenic beach area, exercise gym, and good restaurants, it is hard to beat! We selected this unit because it overlooks the largest beach area in Palmas with an unobstructed view. Only 10 minutes away, we kayak and hike in Humacao's Nature Reserve in and around their gorgeous lagoons.

Euro Cup 2012 teams played some warm up games before beginning the campaign at Poland and Ukraine. We have analyzed their performance and summarized the results to predict group winners and runner up.
Group A compromise four teams. Czech Republic, Greece, Poland and Russia. Their FIFA rankings are listed below:
Czech Republic: 26
Greece: 14
Poland: 65
Russia: 11
Czech Republic played two matches in recent time before their Euro cup campaign. They scored 2 goals and conceded 2 in these two matches, defeated to Hungary and defeating Israel.
Greece were the 2004 Euro cup winners. They played against Armenia and Slovenia in as warm up matches and won to Armenia and draw against Slovenia. They were not as impressive as they were expected.
Poland as the co-host has lots of confidence on them. They played three friendly match and won all of them. They scored fascinating four against Andorra and won 1-0 both to Slovakia and Latvia. The Arsenal goalkeeper succeed to finish three clean sheets in their last 3 matches.
Russia were good on their last 3 matches. Their latest win against Italy(3-0) had add them lot of confidence and motivation to start on for the Euro cup matches. Russia won against Italy and drawn to Lithuania(0-0) and Uruguay 1-1.
Poland has been superb in their previous matches defending finely to not concede any goals and scoring better to win all their friendly matches. We expect Poland to secure the runner-up position to move to the knock out face. Home support might count additionally on their path to glory.
Greece and Czech Republic could not give their best on the run to the Euro cup matches. This gives Russia a great chance to stand as the group Winners. Russia has added great confidence in the warm-up matches dominating Italy on a superb 3-0 win.

Concert proceeds benefit Noahs-Bark, which rescues pit bulls and pit bull mixes in need of a home.Photo by Associated Press /Chattanooga Times Free Press.
■ What: Music for Mutts fundraiser concert featuring Subkonscious, Strata G, Beyond Red, Natural Habitz, Stoneline and headliner Zach Dylan & D-Railed Band.
■ When: 8 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 8.
■ Where: Rhythm & Brews, 221 Market St.
■ Admission: $10.
■ Phone: 423-267-4644.
■ Website: www.rhythmbrews.com.
Noahs-Bark Animal Rescue & Rehab is a nonprofit, fosterbased animal rescue specializing in pit bulls and pit bull mixes recovered from shelters with high kill rates. According to the organization's website, the rescue animals are spayed/neutered and have ageappropriate
microchips and vaccinations. For details, visit www.noahsbarkanimalrescue.com.
If the dog world has a black sheep, it is undeniably the pit bull.
Big and muscular, initially bred for dog fighting, pit bulls have a violent reputation. Many communities have gone so far as to issue breed-specific legislation banning pit bulls and bull mixes. Even the dictionary notes their association with "ferocity."
When they end up in shelters, many pit bulls are on the fast track to euthanasia. That's when Noahs-Bark, a local pit bull rescue, steps in.
"Our organization rescues pit bulls from high-kill facilities where they'd otherwise be put to sleep," says founder Terri Collins. "We have foster homes in the area that will take in the animals and calm them and acclimate them to an indoor life while they're waiting for a family. Then we find them homes."
Collins is a lifelong pit bull owner -- she currently has five -- and started Noahs-Bark in 2011 after being inspired by the work of an Atlanta shelter from which she adopted one of her dogs.
To date, Noahs-Bark has found homes for more than 400 pit bulls, but it's an expensive endeavor. Many of the dogs that arrive there are in bad shape. They're often sick; some have been shot, others attacked or abused. Every animal receives medical treatment, and the costs are adding up. Recently, providing a week of care for just two dogs cost $1,500, Collins says.
To help with those costs, Noahs-Bark has been chosen as the beneficiary of the second annual Music for Mutts, a concert hosted by Chattanooga Bands and CB Booking to raise funds for a local animal nonprofit. Last year's recipient was Wally's Friends, a Red Bank-based low-cost spay/neuter clinic.
Five local bands will perform, including rock artists Stoneline, Subkonscious and Beyond Red and hip-hop artists Strata G and Natural Habitz. Calhoun, Tenn.-based country artist Zach Dylan & D-Railed Band will headline. All proceeds from the event will benefit Noahs-Bark, as will $2 of each advance copy sold of Natural Habitz's newest album, "The Keepers Vol. 1: Heroes Rising."
Collins says any help defraying the cost of caring for her canine castoffs will be appreciated, and she hopes that raising awareness of pit bulls' plight might bring in new volunteers. If the amount raised is significant enough, it will be used to help build a permanent shelter to house the dogs, which currently reside in foster care during their transition to a new family.
"If this benefit is what we think it's going to be, that will really help us," she says. "If it's $100 or $5,000, I'm greatly appreciative. We're just honored."

Being green and energy-efficient is often considered a mindset. The mantras of reduce, re-use, and recycle are repeated ad-nauseum. But one doesn't need to adopt a minimalist mindset to be green and energy-efficient. In fact, Steve and Mashid Rizzone were of the mind that their new home, six years in the works, would be both green and energy efficient—and their contemporary California spread is as far from minimalist as you can get.
The nearly 12,000-square-foot Newport Beach compound encompasses three levels, with two kitchens, nine baths, a four-car garage, a gym, a state-of-the-art 14-seat home theater, 16 TVs, an infinity-edge pool, outdoor cooking area, motorized and movable glass walls, nine zones of heating and cooling, 17 zones of audio and video, an indoor waterfall, 11 closed-circuit security cameras, five biometric (fingerprint) access points, and nearly four miles of cabling. Oh, and there are views of the harbor to kill for. (Click here to view a slideshow of this California home.)
So … um … how do you make all of that green and energy-efficient? Start with 3,000 square feet of solar panels mounted on a hillside to provide the home's electricity. Add hundreds of super-energy efficient and long-lasting LED (light emitting diode) lamps throughout the house. Stir in ample helpings of an easy-to-use Savant home control system that operates nearly everything. And mix with generous portions of green building features, including a structural steel framework, recycled steel studs, concrete walls that help warm and cool the home, blown-in cellulose insulation, Energy Star-rated appliances and a rainwater harvesting system for landscape irrigation.
"This house has been a labor of love," says Steve Rizzone. "We started about six years ago. We bought the property and decided that we wanted to build an energy-efficient house and be specific in terms of construction materials. In the interim we had two children, and we felt it was important to send a message to the kids. This was capped by what has happened in the last two years with energy and the cost of it, and what's happening with the planet."
The homeowners have applied for the highest level of LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) for Homes certification. The LEED system typically won't certify a home that's as large as theirs, but the Rizzones are not easily deterred. They're still going for Platinum-level certification.
Neither are the Rizzones deterred by technology. In fact, they insisted on it. Steve and Mashid are both high-tech executives, and both are very interested in using technology. Consequently, high-end home technology was incorporated into the design phase at the very beginning. The couple's previous home had a control system, so they knew, basically, that a good control system could help them operate all the subsystems in a house and ultimately help them save energy. "This is the third house we've built, and we've always had electronics," Rizzone explains. "We just wanted to take it to next level."
BIG on Solar
The most prominent feature of the Rizzone house, especially if viewed from the streets or the harbor below, is the 3,000 square feet of Sharp solar panels—128 of them, to be exact—mounted on the hillside below the house. The 36-kilowatt array looks like an enormous solar slide extending from the house above. The solar array has become controversial, sparking protests from neighbors about the appearance and glare from the panels. "As we've talked to more neighbors and educated them on the benefits [of solar power], we've been able to turn some of the naysayers into believers," Rizzone says.
Rizzone believes his mega-solar array could provide enough energy to power his entire house, though they won't know for sure until they've lived in the house for a while. (They had just moved in when this was written.)
"Today with the cost of energy and our energy demands, all of those things are averted with the solar system," Rizzone says. Solar contractor Premier Power Renewable Energy in El Dorado Hills, Calif., did a comprehensive study of the home's energy requirements and placement of the array and its size. "They studied the path of sun. We originally tried to put it on the roof, and ran into problems with the homeowners' association," Rizzone recalls.
Premier Power also monitors the system's energy production via a web-based interface that the Rizzones can access via their home system.
LEDs or Bust
The Rizzones are also big on LED (light emitting diode) lamps, which are 90 percent more efficient than traditional incandescent bulbs and can last 10 to 20 years or more. The only problem with LEDs are their high costs, which can discourage even affluent homeowners from equipping their entire house with them. Instead, homeowners often opt for a combination of LEDs, CFLs (compact fluorescents) and even some incandescent and halogen lights—and some of the lights can dim and others cannot.
Not so with the Rizzones. They went all in on LEDs, to the tune of 166 loads of them—with many loads made up of several LEDs. There are LED recessed lights, LED rope and cove fixtures, LED uplighting on the walls, LED exterior lights, you name it. They're governed by a Lutron HomeWorks lighting control system to turn on and off in groups and to dim. This way the Rizzones are able to turn on only the lights they need—and at the levels they need—in preprogrammed lighting scenes.
The efficiency of the LEDs actually presented a small challenge for electronics installer Jeff Goold of Pacific Digital Home in Mission Viejo, Calif. Some LED lamps use only 5 watts, for example, and since the HomeWorks system required a minimum load of 50 watts, Pacific Digital often had to group several LEDs in one lighting load, meaning they go on and off together.
That's no problem for the Rizzones, who love having a variety of lighting scenes—and using their slick Savant control system to operate them.
Total Control
You can have all the solar panels that will fit on a hillside, and all the LED lamps to light up your home, and nine zones of HVAC and 17 zones of A/V and everything else, but it's just a great big mess of energy-efficient maybes if you can't control it from a central system that's easy to use.
The Rizzones found their answer in a Savant system, which is an Apple-based home control network. "It's a very intuitive and easy-to-use. It's a one-time familiarity, and then you're a master of it," says Rizzone.
The Rizzone's Savant system controls the heated floors, several thermostats, nine zones of heating and cooling, electronic glass doors, motorized shades, swimming pool, all of the lighting and serves as the front-end for the Kaleidescape media server, which distributes audio and video content throughout the house.
There are eight in-wall touchpanels that enable the Rizzones to operate the various devices that are tied to the Savant system, but the real fun is in using Apple iPads and iPhones to control everything "We have iPads throughout the house, and its so easy to have a total element of control," says Rizzone. "You can do anything in the world. As long as you have access to the net, you can control this whole house."
Let's start with the Somfy shades, controlled by Lutron through the Savant system. At certain times of the day when the sun heats the rooms too much, the shades come down to block the sun and help defray cooling costs. Then, just before a dazzling sunset, the shades roll up to display the show. Pacific Digital plans to automate the shades even further by using solar sensors that will trigger the shades to lower when the sun hits a certain spot on the wall.
The motorized glass sliding doors—dual glazed, filled with argon for energy efficiency and framed in heavy bronze—are also operated by the Savant system. The Rizzones just press a button to open them—good thing because they are massive.
Lest we forget, the Savant system is used to control the distribution of audio and video to 17 areas in the home and 56 speakers, with sources including satellite radio, satellite TV, four simultaneous streams from multiple DVRs, Netflix and whatever music and movies are on the Kaleidescape hard-drive-based media server.
Savant even connects to the landscape irrigation system and controls all of the sprinklers—and users can pan and tilt security cameras just by sliding a finger over the screen of any touchpanel.
"The big problem with these [home control] systems has been the programming and the user experience," Rizzone says. "But Savant has taken the programming and made it easy."
Goold of Pacific Digital Home couldn't agree more. "Getting it coordinated with weird things like the water systems has been really simple. Savant provides the platforms and pieces. It still needs programming, but you don't have to write code." That makes installation much less complicated and time-consuming, and programming costs go way down. Besides, Goold says, "Savant is fast and fluid, and does everything seamlessly."
Goold has even rigged the system to cut power to certain devices to prevent unnecessary vampire loads, which occur when electronics continue to draw current even when they are essentially "off." All of the TVs in the home are set to completely turn off, Goold says. "At the equipment rack, we can turn off things like amps with the APC power conditioner, but we won't turn off the DirecTV/DVR receivers, because they are always recording something. And in the office we just put the loads on relays and just shut them off via the Lutron system. It's much cleaner that way."
All of this energy-saving on such a grand scale could only be made possible by a home control system that ties everything together and allows the homeowners to be green and energy-efficient—without becoming minimalist.
