Error updating Mysql2 Gem on Windows 7 with Rails 3.1 and Ruby 1.9.2p290
When trying to upgrade to Rails 3.1 on my development system I ran into an error updating the MySQL2 gem. After a bit of searching this turned out to be a known issue with win23 and the MySQL2 gem. The error I received was:
c:\>gem install mysql2 Temporarily enhancing PATH to include DevKit... Building native extensions. This could take a while... ERROR: Error installing mysql2: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension. C:/ruby/bin/ruby.exe extconf.rb checking for rb_thread_blocking_region()... yes checking for main() in -llibmysql... no *** extconf.rb failed *** Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of necessary libraries and/or headers. Check the mkmf.log file for more details. You may need configuration options. Provided configuration options: --with-opt-dir --without-opt-dir --with-opt-include --without-opt-include=${opt-dir}/include --with-opt-lib --without-opt-lib=${opt-dir}/lib --with-make-prog --without-make-prog --srcdir=. --curdir --ruby=C:/ruby/bin/ruby --with-mysql-dir --without-mysql-dir --with-mysql-include --without-mysql-include=${mysql-dir}/include --with-mysql-lib --without-mysql-lib=${mysql-dir}/lib --with-libmysqllib --without-libmysqllib Gem files will remain installed in C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/mysql2-0.3.7 for inspection. Results logged to C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/mysql2-0.3.7/ext/mysql2/gem_m ake.out c:\>
FIRST – Be sure to install DevKit from RailsInstaller.org. It is a set of .bat and .dll files you will need to place in your the bin directory of your ruby installation. In my case my Ruby was installed at 'c:\ruby' so I dropped the files from DevKit in the 'c:\ruby\bin' directory.
Once you have DevKit installed go ahead and install an older version of the MySQL gem. I am currently using version 0.2.6 which is working just nicely with Rails 3.1.
At the command prompt run the following command:
c:\>gem install mysql2 -v 0.2.6
The MySQL2 gem should install without a problem.
c:\>gem install mysql2 -v 0.2.6 Successfully installed mysql2-0.2.6-x86-mingw32 1 gem installed Installing ri documentation for mysql2-0.2.6-x86-mingw32... Enclosing class/module 'mMysql2' for class Client not known Installing RDoc documentation for mysql2-0.2.6-x86-mingw32... Enclosing class/module 'mMysql2' for class Client not known c:\>
Now you should be all sent using Rails 3.1 and the MySQL2 gem. Just an older version. Once win32 is fully supported this work-around will no longer be necessary.
Note: There is another way to do this by specifying the library and includes. That method did not work for me however if it works for you it may be worth a shot.

DSpace is not the only digital archive in the United States, but it does occupy unique ground. "If you look at the landscape of digital repositories, there seem to be two types," says MacKenzie Smith, associate director for technology for the MIT Libraries and the Institute's project manager for DSpace. "One concerns library holdings that happen to be in digital format. The other is a preprint archive that is tailored to scholarly papers in a discipline and is a vehicle for getting them out quickly. They are not concerned with long-term preservation." DSpace, however, is committed to preserving not only published papers, but also their supporting documentation.

I see photography as a marriage between art and science. You can't have one without the other.

Chairman Darrell Issa issued the following statement on Ranking Member Elijah Cummings' announced intention to post the full investigative interview of IRS employee John Shafer on the Internet.
In 2004, the Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD-12) mandated a government-wide standard for secure IDs for federal employees and contractors accessing government facilities. In response, the National Institute of Standards and Technology developed biometric credentials for agencies to use to control access to secure government facilities.
House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) today announced the issuance of a subpoena for documents related to the risky Obamacare health CO-OP loan program after repeated requests for the documents were ignored.

"Because of our failure to control spending and fix our broken federal government, we are mortgaging the American dream and piling mountains of debt on top of our children," said Chairman Issa. "We need a serious, practical plan to make our federal government more efficient and more effective. The next step to formulating that plan is to hear from experts who have been involved in prior government overhauls."

Weekend Box Office Report: 'Evil Dead' Possesses the Box Office
If someone glanced at this weekend's box office, they could be forgiven for thinking they accidentally stepped into some kind of time portal. After all, films called 'Evil Dead' and 'Jurassic Park' were in the top five.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'G.I. Joe: Retaliation' Wins the Day
Like any holiday that sees families congregating together and then desperately seeking activities where they don't have to talk to each other for two hours, this Easter weekend saw a strong bump at the box office thanks to a few new contenders and a handful of holdovers with some surprising staying power.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'The Croods' and 'Olympus Has Fallen' Rise to the Top
You can't imagine two films more different than 'The Croods' and 'Olympus Has Fallen,' but right now the two of them sit on top of the box office chart, both temporarily linked by the fact that a bunch of people apparently wanted to see them this weekend. It's the first time in forever that two films have opened to over $30 million at the same time...but it wasn't golden for all of the new releases.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Oz the Great and Powerful' Saves the Box Office
After a series of increasingly dire weeks at the box office, 'Oz the Great and Powerful' arrived and shook things up in a major way, earning the first truly massive opening weekend of 2013 and setting the table for all kinds of Oz-related content in the near future. Whether that's a good thing or a bad thing is something that we'll let you judge.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Identity Thief' Climbs Back on Top
With Hollywood focused on the Oscars, this was one of the dullest box office weekends in recent memory, with each of the new releases arriving with a shrug, last week's champions plummeting and 'Identity Thief' climbing back to the top of the chart.
Weekend Box Office Report: A Good Day to be 'A Good Day to Die Hard'
In retrospect, it's easy to say "Of course the new 'Die hard' movie was going to open at number one at the box office!" but you can bet Bruce Willis and company were a little worried. After all, 'A Good Day to Die Hard' opened in the wake of the failure of 'The Last Stand,' 'Parker' and 'Bullet to the Head,' three other macho, R-rated movies starring modern action icons. However, the strength of the 'Die Hard' brand seems to have broken that trend: John McClane's fifth outing made $25 million over the weekend.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Identity Thief' Steals $36 Million
Is Melissa McCarthy a movie star yet? The opening weekend of 'Identity Thief' suggests that yes, she is. After all, all of those people weren't flocking to this movie because of Jason Bateman (as delightful as he is). Anyway, all of this pretty much means that McCarthy's asking price just doubled.
'Argo' Wins Big at Producer's Guild of America Awards
With each passing awards ceremony, the Academy's snubbing of Ben Affleck for Best Director looks increasingly ridiculous. Some thought that 'Argo' winning Best Picture and Best DIrector at the Golden Globes was something of a fluke, but now that the critically acclaimed box office hit has won big at the Producer's Guild of America awards, you may want to shuffle around your Oscar bets.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Zero Dark Thirty' is Number One
You really only need to say one thing about the opening weekend of Kathryn Bigelow's 'Zero Dark Thirty': it made more in three days than 'The Hurt Locker' did in its entire run. If there's anything that's going to alleviate getting snubbed for at the Oscars in the Best Director category, it's that.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Texas Chainsaw 3D' Slashes Through the Competition
Here's the thing about January: it's usually a wasteland. With the studios concentrating on their Oscar campaigns and the profitable summer months still half a year away, this month is where all of the crap usually gets dumped. However, this is also one of the few months where crap has a chance of performing well, hence the success of last year's 'The Devil Inside' and now 'Texas Chainsaw 3D,' which took the weekend with a strong $23 million opening.

Great locationPosted Jun 6, 2014 on Hotels.com
Location of the hotel is great but I was dissatisfied with the bed. My booking was for double bed. The bed provided by hotel was too small and made lot of noise giving a feeling that it may break any time. Hotel is located just in front of Kamari beach thus location is perfect. Wifi is free and accessible in rooms. No toiletries are provided except one bar soap.

Right on the Strip/BeachPosted Jul 22, 2009 on Hotels.com
I really enjoyed Hotel George which was right on the walking strip of restaurants and bars and a cross walk to the black sand beach. We had a group of 8, with 3 different rooms (2 rooms were triples)which were all satisfactory and clean. We did not go into town, as the strip of restaurants, bars, pools, were satisfactory for our 2 day stay. I definitely recommend Hotel George.

Great HotelPosted Jun 18, 2008 on Hotels.com
The hotel was at a great location. It was right on the beach and you had many choices of restaurants and bars nearby. Everything was conveniently located. The hotel was very nice and had a small kitchen area with a refrigerator. The room also had a nice size garden view patio. However, the beds were very uncomfortable because the mattress was too hard. The hotel staff was very pleasant. The hotel provided free continental breakfast, which was okay. I would advise that you eat breakfast elsewhere. For lunch, the cheeseburgers were great!

Child hit by car
Published: Tuesday, May 23, 2006 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, May 22, 2006 at 11:00 p.m.
A 1-year-old boy is recovering after being struck by a car driven by his father.
An Albertville police captain stopped a vehicle that ran a red light Friday afternoon. The driver, Mark Pruett of Grove Oak, said he accidentally struck his son, Andy, with his vehicle while moving it to mow the yard.
Pruett was trying to get his son to Marshall Medical Center South in Boaz.
Capt. Trent Crosson called for rescue personnel, and an air ambulance landed in the Crossroads Mall parking lot to take the child to Huntsville Hospital.
Police Sgt. Jamie Smith said Andy was in stable condition later that afternoon.

Quinn moves to oust firm managing Illinois Lottery
BY DAVE MCKINNEY Springfield Bureau Chief August 15, 2014 2:27PM
Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn
Updated: September 17, 2014 6:12AM
PRINGFIELD — Bowing to legislative pressure and a lackluster bottom line, Gov. Pat Quinn's administration moved Friday to terminate the state's contract with Northstar Lottery Group, the private vendor that manages the Illinois Lottery.
"The administration has had serious concerns with Northstar's performance. The governor demands every state contractor be held accountable for their performance," Quinn spokesman Grant Klinzman said.
A published report this week indicated the company is running nearly a quarter-billion dollars short in projected earnings it had promised the state this fiscal year.
And during the past three years, the company has underperformed by roughly $480 million, prompting calls from some lawmakers for the Quinn administration to pull out of what had been a 10-year contract with the company to run the day-to-day operations of the state's $2 billion lottery.
Klinzman did not respond to a question about whether Quinn believes the lottery should be run on an in-house basis as it was for most of its life or be turned over to another private lottery manager.
"The state is in the process of finalizing a path that will allow the lottery to move on, improve profits and increase funding for education and economic development across the state," he said.
A spokeswoman for the Chicago-based vendor being dumped by Quinn did not respond to an email from the Chicago Sun-Times seeking comment about the governor's move.

Dakine has stepped up its game in the rain jacket department with the Caliber. It fills the void in the lineup for a technical feature-laden waterproof shell. While previous Dakine rain jackets have been solid, they were still not my first choice for big high-country adventure rides where the likelihood of getting pummeled by weather for days was a given; those duties were typically handled by the likes of Patagonia, Arcteryx or Helly Hansen. With the Caliber, however, Dakine has a legit alternative.

IXXI is a Swedish black metal band with elements of thrash and rock n' roll thrown into their sound, although some die-hard metal fans would think this band is not "heavy" enough to their liking due to previous listening, their 2nd full length Assorted Armament is much of an improvement from their last self-titled release. The songs on this album are catchy as hell and definitely something I would want to witness live.
Unlike bands such as Aura Noir and Nifelheim which lean more towards the thrash metal genre, IXXI delivers their sound more in the veins of black metal and rock, but regardless of the fact that Nattdal (guitar) also happens to be in Lifelover, this band sounds far from them as well. A unique collaboration of genres, is how I would describe this band at best.
TotalScorn's vocals haven't changed from their previous release, when I first heard IXXI it took me awhile to get used to his vocals, but after a few more listens I started to grow fond of his easily-distinguishable growls and sinister laugh (as heard in some songs). There are more than just a few stand out tracks on this album, if not the whole thing since most of them are relatively short. There is a melancholic vibe in some tracks such as "In The Name of Nothing", "Imperial Requiem", and "Praise on the Iron Mountain" although it is not in the veins of suicidal black metal, there is nihilistic tension in both the music and lyrics (which are mostly spoken in these tracks). Lyrical themes don't differ much from the previous release; destruction, death of humankind, terrorism, nihilism, and all else that is optimistic in this world.
As far as production goes, the sound quality is clean and nothing recorded was too high or too low, which is something rare you find with the majority of modern underground black metal bands. There are less breakdowns and "dull" moments on this album as there were in the self-titled release, so expect a lot of headbang-worthy material from Assorted Armament, as I think this is their best release so far.

From Plant Press, Vol. 17, No. 4, October 2014.
Amanda Grusz joined the Botany Department as a postdoctoral fellow in May 2014, working with Eric Schuettpelz. Grusz received her undergraduate degree in Biology at the University of North Carolina Wilmington and she recently completed her Ph.D. in Biology and Genetics at Duke University. Her dissertation research focused on the evolution and systematics of the desert-adapted fern genus Myriopteris (Pteridaceae). Specifically, she explored how hybridization, polyploidy, and apomixis influence the evolution and diversification of this ecologically extreme lineage. Following the completion of her degree, Grusz coordinated the 2014 Tropical Plant Systematics Course offered by the Organization for Tropical Studies (San Jose, Costa Rica), alongside Mauricio Bonifacino (previously of the NMNH Botany Department). Now, as a Smithsonian postdoctoral fellow, Grusz is working to develop phylogenomic resources with which to explore the evolution of extreme rates of molecular substitution exhibited by the vittariod ferns, a lineage of tropical epiphytes in the Pteridaceae.
Kuang-chi Hung, a Smithsonian Fellow in the History of Science and Technology, was in Washington through August 2014. He was exploring the role that the Smithsonian Institution played in advancing research in biogeography and allied fields (e.g., paleontology and archaeology) in Asia during the first half of the 20th century. Although much of his research was in the Smithsonian Institution Archives and the Freer and Sackler Gallery Archives, he was no stranger to the Department of Botany. Hung recently received his Ph.D. from Harvard University with a thesis entitled "Finding Patterns in Nature: Asa Gray's Plant Geography and Collecting Networks (1830s-1860s)." Janet Browne in the Department of the History of Science was his major advisor. Laurence J. Dorr (Botany) and Pamela Henson (Smithsonian Institution Archives) served as Hung's hosts. He has since taken a professorship in Taiwan.
Sonja Walch, currently a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Contemporary History, University of Vienna, Austria was awarded a Smithsonian fellowship from the History of Science and Technology pool and is in residence in Washington from August through November 2014. She is interested in the history of post WWII botany (and science) in the Pacific and the interactions of American and exiled European botanists whose careers intersected in the Philippines. She will continue to research the activities of the Austrian botanist Mona Lisa Steiner who lived in the Philippines in exile from 1938 onward and Steiner's interactions with the late F. Raymond Fosberg among others. Laurence J. Dorr (Botany) and Pamela Henson (Smithsonian Institution Archives) are Walch's hosts.

We should learn from past mistakes
Meter's running on another claim of wrongful conviction
In the narrative of most wrongful convictions, there is a moment when it becomes patently obvious the architects of the miscarriage of justice -- police and the prosecutors -- have misled their political masters.
The deception usually begins when politicians receive a claim of wrongful conviction and then ask the cops and Crowns if there is anything to be worried about.
In most cases, they are assured there is nothing to the claims.
Years later, following an independent review by the courts or federal Justice Department, it is confirmed that despite all those assurances, a miscarriage of justice had occurred.
Typically, those political masters will reach the final, awful conclusion they have been deceived right around the time they are signing a seven-figure cheque to compensate the victim and pricing out office space for the seven-figure judicial inquiry.
This has happened so many times you would think most provinces -- if only in the interest of fiscal prudence -- would be more careful about how they vet claims of wrongful conviction and would start out with any claim by getting truly independent advice and analysis.
Lamentably, there is no sign anyone has learned from earlier mistakes.
The most recent example of this trend involves former Brandon lawyer Deveryn Ross, who claims he was wrongly convicted of fraud in 1995.
Earlier this month, Federal Court Justice Richard Mosley ordered Justice Minister Peter MacKay to take a second look at Ross' application for a new trial under Sec. 696 of the Criminal Code.
Mosley also delivered a stinging rebuke to former federal justice minister Rob Nicholson for ignoring both the evidence and the rule of law in turning down Ross' first application.
Mosley's decision does not substantiate all of Ross' claims, but it substantiates a central part of those claims: that the failure to disclose key evidence about two star Crown witnesses deeply affected the fairness of Ross' original trial.
MacKay has two weeks to decide whether to appeal Mosley's decision.
Regardless of what MacKay decides, one would hope the aforementioned political masters in Manitoba have studied the decision and are waking up to the fact they have another big mess on their hands.
Unfortunately, it seems we're destined to repeat the same silly, wasteful mistakes of the past.
In questioning during budget estimates last week, Liberal MLA Jon Gerrard asked Premier Greg Selinger if, in light of the Mosley decision, he was prepared to grant Ross' requests for a new trial.
Gerrard reminded Selinger that in 2003, when faced with similar concerns in the James Driskell case, then-attorney general Gord Mackintosh agreed to have the case reviewed in a Manitoba court. In doing so, he essentially gave Ottawa a green light to quash the original conviction and put the matter back in provincial jurisdiction.
Manitoba ultimately decided not to proceed with a new trial and entered a stay of proceedings.
However, under questioning by Gerrard, Selinger responded with a scripted answer with the fingerprints of the public prosecutions branch all over it. "This judgment is very freshly rendered, and our officials are going to fully review it, and it would be far too early to make additional comments at this time," Selinger said.
After reading those comments, it seems fairly certain Selinger has not been given a frank briefing of the deeper implications of the Mosley decision.
If some of Selinger's staff had dug deeper into the 31-page judgment, they would have discovered Manitoba Justice has been solely focused on defending the original verdict rather than assessing the impact of new evidence.
He would also have found out Manitoba Justice actually hired Paul Jensen, the prosecutor from the original trial, to write its response to Ross' Sec. 696 application. Mosley suggested given his investment in the original verdict, Jensen "should not have been involved in preparing Manitoba's response."
Jensen's involvement, Mosley wrote, likely impaired Manitoba's view of the Ross case, and a truly independent analyst "would have come to different conclusions with respect to the issues raised on the application."
In making this observation, Mosley put his finger on the very heart of the matter in most wrongful convictions.
Provincial prosecution services rarely go outside their own ranks to get an objective review of a post-conviction claim of innocence. As a result, they rarely get a fair, balanced assessment of new evidence.
This is a bad, expensive process. All the time and effort spent defending an original verdict, to the exclusion of new evidence, only drives up the total financial compensation paid to victims of the wrongful conviction.
In the Driskell case, the political masters did finally figure out they were getting bad information from the Justice Department. Unfortunately, it came a bit late; Driskell still collected $4 million in compensation and the province spent $3 million more on a judicial inquiry that showed, despite assurances to the contrary, it was a bad case from the beginning.
Following in that inglorious tradition, we now have Ross, a case involving a failure to disclose evidence, an unfair trial, a failure to warn the political masters and a demand Manitoba step forward and do the right thing.
And the whole time, the meter is running.

What inspired me to use his photos as part of the competition was one specific picture he took of a street in Zouk Mikhael on the maritime road. I pass by this street everyday and I never imagined it might actually look decent in a picture. I don't know how he does it, but I thought it would be nice to share his photos and let people see beautiful scenes from all around Lebanon.

Thank you,
Missing or unavailable music is almost always a decision by the artist/label to withhold the content from Spotify. Sometimes it's temporarily unavailable while they sort out legal issues or correct metadata, in which case it'll be back up as soon as they resubmit it to Spotify.
While it might be a good idea to contact the label directly and ask why the music isn't on Spotify, you can also fill out this form
to let Spotify staff know of your interest.

Matchups to watch at The Opening
Originally Published: June 28, 2013By Craig Haubert | RecruitingNation
The Opening features many of the nation's top prospects, and there are 10 matchups we're looking forward to watching during the event.
Leonard Fournette vs. anyoneAs it says in his evaluation, "They don't make them this big and fast often at the running back position" and that gives you a pretty good clue as to why it's worth keeping an eye on the nation's No. 1 player throughout the event. Now this setting won't truly provide an opportunity for the big, fast and nimble-footed Fournette to showcase his tools as a running back, but it will provide an opportunity for him to demonstrate his receiving skills, which can be a bit of an underrated aspect of his game. At the 2011 Opening, current Texas RB Johnathan Gray showed excellent receiving skills and demonstrated how well-rounded he could be, and now Fournette could very well do the same thing.

T-Mobile plans to overtake Sprint as the 3rd largest wireless carrier in 2014.
T-Mobile plans to become the 3rd largest carrier in the US by the end of 2014
by William Neilson Jr 3 months ago
T-Mobile plans to overtake Sprint as the 3rd largest wireless carrier in 2014.
Laptop Magazine battery life tests show that devices running on T-Mobile's network consistently last longer than the same devices on competing networks, sometimes by a big margin.
A new report from The Wall Street Journal sources "people familiar with the matter", stating Sprint is no longer bidding to acquire good ol' T-Mobile.
A report from the U.S. Senate claims that mobile carriers have made hundreds of millions in profits through cramming tactics.
T-Mobile and Sprint have been supposedly close to a deal for some time now. But now, according to Reuters who spoke to people familiar with the matter, the merger will not occur before September.
In a move designed to one-up AT&T, T-Mobile is now upping its data to 10GB — 2.5GB per line — while keeping the price at $100 for 4 lines.
For years, carriers have been charging consumers with massive global data roaming fees.
Adam Savage, former co-host of Mythbusters, was given a $10,000 bill by AT&T for his trip to Canada. A Chicago Bears fan watched his team play while on a cruise ship on the AT&T network and it cost him nearly $28,000. A Portland family got a $20,000 bill from AT&T after he used an AirCard while traveling into Canada.
With rumors of Sprint and T-Mobile finalizing a deal that would merge the two companies, rumors are now being revealed which hint at Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim being interested in purchasing... T-Mobile.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Slim recently received cash from his sale of shares of América Móvil and currently owns an interest TracFone, a US prepaid wireless service that is...
As this site discussed earlier today, T-Mobile is expected to continue their reign as the "fastest-growing" carrier once Q2 results are released later this month.
Now,... the Wall Street Journal notes that although analysts expect all major carriers (except Sprint) to continue overall net additions of postpaid subscribers (which usually leads to higher earnings and better margin...
When T-Mobile announces their Q2 results at the end of the month, analysts expect T-Mobile to continue being the "fastest-growing wireless company in the U.S."
According... to TMONews, T-Mobile's record Q1 results showed 2.4 million net adds between January 1st and the end of March. Therefore, it should not be a surprise to see T-Mobile not replicate that growth again. With 7% s...

"Salome was exceptionally good.Staff have been very well trained and it shows in their efficiency and serviice.Would recommend it to anyone"Rating: 10,0
A very good value for money
"Anthelia Grand Hotel (and Salome in particular) is a very well maintained hotel, with due care for details (diligent gardening and refurbishments); it has very good cuisine, with wide variety of food. Its staff is friendly and ready to assist when needed. Things to be improved are few, among them: (1) morning noise: troleys with which swimming pool matteraces are brought to the swimming pool in the morning (in Salome) should have rubber wheels to avoid noise; the early-morning staff (gardeners, swimming pool assistants) should be instructed to keep quiet; sometimes their lound conversations wake up guests; (2) the "hotel-own system" of booking the swimming-pool beds (against payment) should be introduced; so far, such booking is possible only via a travel agency. In effect, without such reservation system, guests practicle "early morning races" to occupy the best spots. As a minimum, as some Salome suits are more expensive than others, the price for those more expensive suits should include the right to book the requested swimming pool place."Rating: 9,0

SXSW14: 'We are all part of the state whether we like it or not' says Assange
Julian Assange claimed that all citizens are now "part of the what we traditionally call the state, whether we like it or not, and we have no choice," at SXSW interactive today.
Julian Assange, founder of Wikileaks
Speaking via a live Skype link-up from the Ecuadorian embassy in London today (8 March), Assange claimed the NSA and GCHQ has "become unfettered" and "abused our lives on the internet" through its surveillance activity in recent years, referencing the recent revelations by Edward Snowden, alongside his own work at Wikileaks.
In a conversation with Benjamin Palmer, the co-founder and chairman of The Barbarian Group, Assange said the internet is "now used as the most aggressive form of state surveilance ever seen," and that people are now living in a "new totalitarian world in the sense that no one can exist outside of surveillance".
The live link up itself was plagued with technical glitches, and at one point the audio completely cut out, however, Assange managed to put forward his theory about the "PR method" of the NSA and how it has changed following the Snowden revelations and the work of Guardian journalist Glen Greenwald.
He said the NSA had been jokingly referred to as "the No Such Agency" because its previous PR method was to "simply not respond" to situations and "not give oxygen" to media reports criticising the agency. Now, however, he said this policy will have to be replaced as people are made more aware of the NSA's activities through work by investigative journalists and whistleblowers, as the public becomes more aware of its operations.
Yesterday Google executive chairman Eric Schmidt told how he met with Assange to discuss the ethics of leaking information online, stating that Assange then leaked the transcript of their conversation.

For Adults Living with Autism
We are dedicated to the establishment of daily life enhancement programs that meet the needs of the growing population of adults with autism throughout New Jersey. We are very proud to support the exemplary Hope Autism Solutions program model.
Out and About
The HAS model is a program without walls. Our primary goal is to keep participants active and in the community as much as possible everyday. We view the HAS site as our "homebase" and the outside community serves as our daily "classroom."
For Individual Expression
We strive to fund programs that develop a variety of interests for our participants. Activities are rotated throughout the day and include art, drama, music, cooking, physical fitness and more.
Skills for Work and Leisure
Technology has become increasingly important for the autism community. At HAS our participants acquire many skills by using our SMART Board, computers and portable technology devices.
Skills for Everyday Living
A primary goal of the HAS program is to support the development of independence during structured group sessions in the homelike environment at the HAS site.
Since its founding, the Hope Autism Solutions program has provided adult participants with a supported local community environment geared toward personal growth, learning and empowerment. Our model was developed through our partnership with our dedicated service provider, Our House Inc.

We had a little canine mystery on our hands last week with the photo reader Alan Ray sent us of the pup wearing the Ocean View Little League T-shirt at the victory parade on Main Street.
Mystery solved. Carol and Ted Szuba contacted us to give us the story. Pismo is a 1-year-old Aussiedoodle the family got in Pismo Beach. Pismo went to all the Ocean View Little League playoff games in Fountain Valley and West Covina, her owners say.
The family does have ties to the team. The uncle of player Jason Mayorga played in Ocean View Little League with their son, Greg Szuba. Greg was an Ocean View All-Star in 1984.
Carol and Ted sent photos of Pismo and also of Greg and his son, Caden, 10, at the parade. Caden was an All Star for the Tesmescal Little League, near Chino.
"Our son is wearing our grandson's All Star shirt and our grandson is wearing his father's 1984 All Star jacket as they walk down Main Street. We are proud!" Carol wrote.
