According to a patent filed last week, Apple wants to include biometric protections on devices ranging from the iPhone to Macbooks to prevent unauthorized use or access to the personal data inside, reports the Web site AppleInsider.com.
The solution, the company suggests, would be to automatically use a sensor either hidden within the device or else repurposed from its usual role. Devices could recognize a fingerprint or finger vein pattern simply by waiting for the user to touch the display, which would hide the sensors on or behind the screen. A forward-facing camera could alternately look for retinal patterns or even recognize the facial features of owners when they're in the right position for use ....
Apple goes so far as to suggest the possibility of recognizing the user's distinctive voice or even collecting DNA samples to recognize a user's genetic sequence. Biometrics could also be context-sensitive and detect the shape of a user's ear before allowing a call to go through, for example.
If Apple goes through with the idea, AppleInsider.com reports, it wants to seemlessly integrate the biometric sensors so that users will not even have to stop what they're doing to verify their identity.
Mac or iPhone users will also be able to choose a level of security they're comfortable with, according to MacNN.com:
Apple's security features will be able to protect the entire users system or just a few special apps or specific data that the user identifies as being important. Apple has also inventively devised a time-based security feature that would shut down the use of a particular app after a specific time that's assigned to it.
For a sophisticated look at Apple's biometric patent with graphics, check out MacNN.com's coverage here.

Holocaust survivor and Nobel Peace Prize winner Elie Wiesel offers his thought on the Syrian crisis in The Washington Post:
Syria's story is now both tragedy and scandal. Day after day, its police and army humiliate, frighten and kill scores of its citizens. Old and young, educated and ignorant, rich and poor: All have become targets. One day alone, two weeks ago, youngsters were massacred individually — with bullets in their heads.
Author Jonathan Merritt sets our the seven reasons why Christians should "change their political tune":
Aristotle is credited with saying, "Change in all things is sweet." And perhaps no change of late is as sweet as that among young Christians in the public square. While the last several decades of Christian engagement have often been marked by partisan tactics and a polemical tone, a new generation is changing its political tune. These individuals aren't leaving the public square altogether, but they are looking for less divisive and less partisan ways to engage. They want to follow Jesus without fighting the culture wars.

For Talking Points Memo, Eric Lach reports on the 'progress' of the North Carolina bill that restricts state agencies' ability to take global warming into account when making sea-level rise projections:
The language in the bill was toned down from the version that had been circulating — the original version of the bill stated starkly that rates of sea-level rise could use only historical data, extrapolated linearly, despite the fact that most scientists expect sea-levels to rise faster over the next century as a result of global warming — but the version of the bill approved Thursday still contains the following language:
[Rates of sea-level rise] shall be determined using statistically significant, peer-reviewed historical data generated using generally accepted scientific and statistical techniques. Historic rates of sea-level rise may be extrapolated to estimate future rates of rise but shall not include scenarios of accelerated rates of sea-level rise unless such rates are from statistically significant, peer-reviewed data and are consistent with historic trends.
Writing for The Daily Beast, Barbie Latza Nadeau and Jesse Ellison examine the rift between nuns across the world:
In the U.S., where the number of religious sisters has dwindled from 179,954 to 57,544 in the past half century, the controversy cuts to the heart of what it means to be a nun. To many non-Catholics, nuns conjure up a vision of the ladies from The Sound of Music. To Catholics, they can be anything from the no-nonsense school teachers who rapped their knuckles during Catechism class to hospital workers who pray at the bedsides of the dying.

As relations between the U.S. and Pakistan continue to deteriorate, the Obama administration has decided the solution is … more drone attacks.
"Expressing both public and private frustration with Pakistan, the Obama administration has unleashed the CIA to resume an aggressive campaign of drone strikes in Pakistani territory over the last few weeks, approving strikes that might have been vetoed in the past for fear of angering Islamabad." Seems to me that killing more people in Pakistan is probably not the best way to improve relations.
From investigative-journalism nonprofit Remapping Debate:
"When the recession hit, state revenues — made up primarily of sales and income taxes — declined dramatically, prompting deep cuts to state services. In at least 30 states, funding for K-12 education was lower in fiscal year 2012 than in 2008, despite growing student populations. States have also made deep cuts in health care programs and in higher education funding. State aid to local governments has declined, and state and local governments have shed more than 500,000 jobs since the beginning of 2009.
In state after state, politicians justified the large budget cuts on the grounds that the condition of the state budget made it temporarily necessary to reduce services. ..."
Now income and sales taxes are bouncing back, and at least 25 states are likely to be running a surplus for the fiscal year ending in June. But
"... instead of either restoring cuts in state services or increasing aid to local governments and school districts, several state legislatures are choosing to use their surpluses to cut taxes. Besides Kansas, at least seven other states have passed bills that cut taxes and reduce revenue in future years, and several more are still considering doing so."

As the use of drones for surveillance and other activities in the U.S. increases, Leslie Harris, president and CEO of the Center for Democracy & Technology, argues for greater transparency and accountability.
"With Congress enacting a law giving the go-ahead for the use of drones in U.S. airspace last February, the drone industry is now poised to deploy the technology to monitor everything from neighborhood safety, to political protests, to traffic conditions. The possibilities of using drones for airborne, real-time newsgathering haven't been lost on the media, either. Drones have many positive uses, such as aiding firefighters, dusting crops, or scouting hazardous areas for workers, but -- without privacy and transparency rules -- these powerful surveillance tools also have strong potential for misuse."
In addition to legal and moral concerns about targeted drone killings, a new question is being raised:
"But by killing off Al Qaeda leaders and operatives by means of the unmanned drones rather than capturing them, is the US losing out on valuable intelligence on an evolving organization – and thus on information that might also be crucial in defeating the terrorgroup?"
Matthew Hutson asks an interesting question in an article for The Huffington Post - Are Conservatives More Religious and Liberals More Spiritual?
"In the United States, religion and politics have always been (fitful) bed buddies. But whether faith drives people left or right (or neither) is not obvious. On one hand, there is the Christian right, a demographic epitomized by Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson that values tradition and authority and opposes gay rights and the teaching of evolution. On the other hand, we owe many of our advancements in civil rights -- a predominantly left-wing cause -- to religious leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr. One way to make sense of the relationship between faith and political orientation is to recognize the difference between religiousness and spirituality."

Writing for The Washington Post's On Faith blog, David Mason argues:
"Conservative Christians are starting to line up behind Mormon Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney. But they're not doing so comfortably, and not without clinging to a last, non-negotiable condition that, ironically, makes the conservative Christian voting bloc the force most responsible these days for the secularization of America."

BNA - For Australian and visiting cyclists from Road to MTB, to Track to Freestyle

Where's the track at??
Hey everyone. Just wondering where I can find out about where all the track action is over winter? Although I'm about to buy a road bike I'd love to keep up the track racing/training over winter to get ultra fit and take the sport of cycling seriously! Any links/info/suggestions much appreciated
Re: Where's the track at??
You don't mention your location, but assuming you live somewhere near a velodrome, you should be able to find something pretty much year-round. Here in Brisbane, anyway, there's training to be had pretty much the whole year. Competition tails off a bit outside of the traditional track season too, but there's the odd thing going on. It may be awkward to find info - as I recall, some of the Brisbane stuff isn't super-easy to find via Google. Maybe mention your location? I shouldn't wonder someone on here will be able to point you in the right direction.
Re: Where's the track at??
Sydney = RAW track
Re: Where's the track at??
Sydney is my location, looks like RAW is the way to go for me, Ive gotten back into training this week so looking forward to RAW!
Re: Where's the track at??
Thanks a lot bigfriendlvegan, can you confirm when RAW starts? Ive been told around june.
Btw, its just clicked that I think I know who you are. You commentate the LACC track meets right?
I ride for LACC at the minute, newish rider, any ideas who I am? Bet you can narrow it down
Re: Where's the track at??
Yeah, that's me. Am I right in guessing that the ee in your name should be replaced by an i?
Either way, I'll see you at RAW in the winter. It's like nothing you've seen before. Huge amounts of fun.
Keep an eye on http://www.rawtrack.com.au/ for details. When I find out, I'll announce it here. There are quite a few forumites who race there.
Re: Where's the track at??
Thats right!
Looking very much forward to RAW thanks a lot for the info, ill check out the website now!
Re: Where's the track at??
Sounds like a lot of secrete squirrel stuff going on here!
I don't suffer fools easily and so long as you have done your best,you should have no regrets.
Goal 6000km
Re: Where's the track at??
So says Foo, IF that's your real name
Some people like to be anonymous on the inter-webs, but I'm known around the traps by both my handle and my real name pretty equally, so I don't care.
Re: Where's the track at??
Yep that's my real name, trust me, would I tell a lie?
I don't suffer fools easily and so long as you have done your best,you should have no regrets.

Hey, it's really tough being rich!
Roman Abramovich snubbed by Italian restaurant
A restaurant manager has been hailed a local hero in Italy after he refused to provide a table to Roman Abramovich at his packed establishment at a Tuscan resort.
By Nick Pisa in Rome
Last Updated: 1:57AM BST 12 Aug 2008
David Vaiani, 36, told an assistant to the Russian billionaire owner of Chelsea Football Club that there was no way he could accommodate his party of eight because all the tables were fully booked. He suggested that Mr Abramovich try somewhere else.
But according to reports in the Italian media an infuriated Mr Abramovich decided he would not stop a minute longer in the resort of Forte dei Marmi and ordered the captain of his yacht to set off at "full steam ahead for Sardinia".
The incident took place at the Bistrot restaurant in the resort, which has become a haven for Russian millionaires who are snapping up seaside villas all along the coast at vastly inflated prices, and has become a magnet to prostitutes who make a healthy living from them.
Forte dei Marmi's mayor, Umberto Buratti, told the Corriere Della Sera newspaper: "This news will please people who love Forte and we will happily give him the numbers of other restaurants.
"Bistrot did well to turn him down - rules count even in Forte, not just for citizens but for tourists even if they are wealthy ones."
Mr Abramovich's party is thought to have included his girlfriend Dario Zhukova, who was spotted last week shopping in the resort. According to Forbes magazine he is the world's 15th richest man with an $18.7 billion (£9.8 billion) fortune.
He arrived in the town on board the third largest of his five yachts, the Grand Bleu.
Mr Abramovich was not the only wealthy celebrity to run up against Italian grit.
In Sardinia, the millionaire Flavio Briatore, a co-owner of QPR football club, was showered with wet sand thrown by tourists who objected to him landing a dinghy on a crowded beach.
While swimmers struggled to avoid the fast-moving boat as it roared through the crowded waters, people on the beach shouted: "Shame! Louts! Go home!"
Some people then filled buckets with water and sand to throw at the tycoon and his celebrity wife Elisabetta Gregoraci.
The pair were in Sardinia to open a new restaurant and Mr Briatore later railed against the locals, saying: "I will close down everything. I pay my taxes. This is my right."
"From north to south, the rebellion against those who show off their money and power is growing," said the daily La Stampa.
Last week authorities fined the captain of a boat owned by Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones £1,600 for not giving them the names of everybody on the vessel.

True - considering the concept of alcohol use vs abuse is pretty much universally understood you do have to wonder why.
I must say, I've met some startlingly rich people in my time. Some were gits, some were relatively normal, some so unassuming you'd never know they had more than two pennies to rub together. Take the money out of the equation, and they're just like the rest of society.
Generalisation is decidedly un-Fortean

That's the point I'm making though - actually, a lot of the wealthy don't look down on others. Some do, yes, but I think you'd find that many more don't give it any real thought at all.

im not so sure i think they do look down on us, with the exception of maybe one or two, they have walked past me in shops andturn thier heads up or make little noises.
we are no different to them except we choose to do a days work instead of laying around in pools and on sunbeds or going on holiday every month.
i personally dont ahve a grip with rich people my only concern is that they should spend a day in our shoes to see what its like.

You make me laugh, sweetie.
Remember back in the "nightmare playgrounds" thread, where you went on about how awful it was to take kids to those awful playgrounds, and I pointed out that a lot of them were only awful because of poor maintenance and that this probably meant they had a low tax base and were in poor neighborhoods and there simply wasn't any other place to take the kids?
were the rich person there. Like the people you perceive as dissing you, you didn't put yourself into the other person's shoes, but assumed "normal and right" to match your situation. When the reality was pointed out to you, you saw it, but your response was still a little clueless. Yeah, people should vote to pay taxes to maintain their playgrounds, but if you have a poor tax district to begin with there may still not be enough money to go around.
I have been told I was "stuck up" (I in fact have the self-esteem of soggy toilet paper) by too many people to believe that our perceptions of other people's interior states is in any way reliable. I attended a private university for awhile and I learned there certain cultural traits of people who have more money than me:
1) They don't feel rich. (
feels rich. This is why the pursuit of wealth is a mug's game and why the richest people are always moaning and whining and trying to wiggle out of taxes.)
2) They are no more likely to question the way they were raised than anybody else.
3) If they went to private school, their practical education is shockingly bad and their academic performance isn't as much better than the products of the "advanced" track of a public school as everyone expects.
4) They are under a lot of pressure to behave in ways and to have things that seem silly to those outside their culture, and this pressure creates just as much stress as the pressures lower-income people have.
5) They don't like being stereotyped any more than anybody else.
6) They don't mean any more harm than anybody else.
7) They don't mean any less harm, either.
Judge not, lest ye be judged.

Oh, you did too. Reread your own post as if it were written by a stranger, learn about yourself, and move on. We all have biases. The difference between the bigot and the tolerant person is degree of self-knowledge, which permits us to limit and correct the ways our biases manifest. I'm as biased against rich people as the next person, but since I probably look pretty rich to the illegal immigrants next door, I try to be discreet about it.
When any of us behave badly, the tendency will be to behave badly in the ways society makes easy. So, people from certain income brackets or ethnic backgrounds will drift into certain manifestations of their basic human flaws more often than into others. If you're rich enough, it's hard to be good because it's so easy to get away with stuff. If you're poor enough, it's hard to be good because it's so easy to be blamed.
But we can all be snobs; and we can all project our own sense of inferiority onto the people who have what we desire and blame them for making us feel bad, when we're really doing it to ourselves; and we can all derive pleasure from hunting out the motes in the eyes of others while ignoring the beams in our own.

A gem of a post but let's move on . . .
Dead horses? Dead dogs? The belief by a neighbour that big businesses can't be to blame. A friend's barbecue and then their own. "An ordinary everyday chap, well-dressed, a good businessman" according to a neighbour yet "not to be trusted" and "bereft of the basic instincts of commercial morality" according to a judge. Better to lose self and family than a house? Just different? Time will tell. RIP.

Two bodies found at millionaire's burned-out home
Search for a third body continues at businessman Christopher Foster's house in Shropshire
James Sturcke and agencies
Saturday August 30 2008 10:40 BST
Two bodies have been found in the burned-out home of millionaire businessman Christopher Foster, police said today.
Foster, his wife Jill and their 15-year-old daughter Kirstie have been missing since a blaze gutted the house in the early hours of Tuesday.
West Mercia police said two bodies were found in the main part of Osbaston House, Maesbrook, Shropshire.
Superintendent Gary Higgins said: "We can confirm that two bodies were recovered last night from the main part of Osbaston House, Maesbrook.
"The remains will be examined by a Home Office pathologist and post mortems are due to be carried out later today to establish the cause of death."
He said it was not possible to give further details. The Shropshire coroner has been informed.
Officers entered the main part of the building yesterday morning but were forced to withdraw "almost immediately" after debris began to fall.
They left the building for their own safety, but were able to re-enter in the afternoon following more work to shore up the structure.
The search for a third body will continue today.
Higgins said it could take several weeks to complete the examination and sifting of debris inside the building.
"It is going to be a painstaking and lengthy process before the full examination of the house and its surrounds is completed," he said.
"In the meantime, we will keep an open mind concerning what we may, or may not find."
Police said the premises were deliberately set alight.
The Fosters went to a friend's barbecue on Monday before returning to their home later that evening.
It has been reported that Kirstie may have been talking online to friends at around 1am on Tuesday when her conversation abruptly stopped, possibly by a powercut. The fire took hold shortly after, destroying a stable block, garage and badly damaging the house itself.
A spokeswoman for West Mercia constabulary said police were looking at Kirstie's computer.
Police have refused to comment on reports that bullet cartridges and pools of blood were found in the courtyard.
A man who knew Foster said he feared his former business associate may have "just flipped" under pressure.
Terence Baines, a former director of Foster's company Ulva Ltd, said: "It's anyone's guess, but it seems that the people he owed money to are big companies and I can't see them behind something like this."
"He was just an ordinary everyday chap, well-dressed, a good businessman," Baines said.
Two horses found dead at the scene have been examined and police are awaiting the results.
Detectives confirmed the bodies of three dogs were found close to the horses and said a large horse box parked close to the gates of the property had been removed for forensic examination.
Ulva Ltd, which supplied insulated pipes to the offshore oil industry, had made Foster wealthy while he was in his 20s.
Neighbours said he enjoyed the multi-millionaire's lifestyle after moving into the £1.2m house four years ago, driving Porsches and Aston Martins, buying horses for his wife and daughter, and educating Kirstie at Ellesmere College, a £14,000-a-year private school in Shropshire.
It is now clear that Foster had been facing financial pressure after the collapse of his business and may have feared that his creditors were about to seize the property.
By the middle of last year the business was alleged to owe suppliers £1m and the Inland Revenue a further £800,000. Foster launched another company, Ulva International, but an appeal court judge ruled that he had conducted "an asset stripping exercise" so that he could continue trading.
The judge added that Foster "was not to be trusted" and "bereft of the basic instincts of commercial morality".
Administrators were appointed for the business on August 14 last year, but on September 26 Birmingham high court ordered that the company be wound up and liquidators be appointed.
It appears that the liquidators were able to prevent Foster from selling or remortgaging his home, as Land Registry records show that a court order was obtained in October last year making clear that "no deposition by the proprietor of the registered estate is to be registered except under a further order".
The liquidators obtained an interim charge on the property in May and Foster may have feared that his family were about to lose their home.
The administrators referred calls to West Mercia police and the liquidator declined to comment.

I do not begrudge rich people their wealth if they have obtained it through hard work and risk-taking.
I have met plenty of very wealthy people, most of them self-made millionaires - and I have found them to be people who have worked extremely hard, used their brains etc.
I think that anybody who is jealous of their success should try and set up a business themselves, just to see how much hard work it is. I know how hard it is myself, because I did it once.
We all have the potential to get that rich too.
Look at guys like Duncan Bannatyne and Alan Sugar - both of them were poor at some point before their businesses became successful and made them rich.
Another thing - rich people keep a lot of other people in gainful employment. If there were no rich people, we'd all be in trouble economically.

Test case for non-dom Robert Gaines-Cooper
Frances Gibb, Legal Editor
A wealthy entrepreneur who was hit with a multimillion-pound tax bill after being stripped of his non-domiciled status has begun a High Court test case that could have big implications for "non-doms".
Robert Gaines-Cooper insists that he has not been "ordinarily resident" in Britain since the mid-1970s, although he has a multimillion-pound house in Henley-on-Thames - home to his collection of paintings, classic cars and guns. Revenue & Customs say that his roots remain in England so he should pay tax.
Mr Gaines-Cooper, who is in his seventies, said that he had kept strictly to the Revenue's demands that tax exiles can spend no more than 91 days a year in Britain. In a test case over non-domiciled status, which is generally enjoyed only by the extremely wealthy, he says that the Revenue's refusal to accept him as a non-UK resident is "unfair, inconsistent and discriminatory".
Revenue & Customs is adamant that, despite his years of travelling in search of business opportunities, his true roots are in England and that - at least for tax purposes - he "never left" this country.
Mr Gaines-Cooper began a successful jukebox business venture in England in 1958 and has set up companies in Canada, the US, Italy, Singapore, Jersey, Cyprus and the Seychelles, including a highly successful concern that produces laryngeal masks. He said that he "made a break" with Britain in 1976 - only spending about 50 days a year in England over the next three years - and that his home has long been a luxury house in the Seychelles - Plantation Bois Noir - that he bought in 1975.
Ingrid Simler, QC, for the Revenue, told the court: "What one has to look for is his strongest connection; it has always been in England. He didn't break his domicile."
However, David Milne, QC, for Mr Gaines-Cooper, said that his client had "long left" England by the time of the tax years in issue (1993 to 2004) and, as he was encouraged to do by the Revenue, "very carefully calculated" the number of days that he spent in this country.
After a two-day hearing, Mr Justice Lloyd Jones reserved judgment.

Another rich man in the firing line...
'Your company is bankrupt, you keep $480m. Is that fair?'
Andrew Clark in New York and Elana Schor in Washington
The Guardian, Tuesday October 7 2008
It was a showdown to cherish for critics of Wall Street's culture of enrichment. The grim-faced boss of the bankrupt bank Lehman Brothers was left squirming yesterday as a veteran Democrat roasted him over his multimillion-dollar pay.
With the startled look of a man unaccustomed to sharp examination, Lehman chief executive Richard Fuld clashed bluntly with the chairman of the House oversight committee, Henry Waxman, on Capitol Hill.
Called on to explain why Lehman collapsed last month, Fuld began with a note of humility, saying he felt "horrible" over the demise of the 158-year-old institution. "I want to be very clear," Fuld said. "I take full responsibility for the decisions I made and for the actions I took."
In a brief speech which was heard in silence, Fuld told legislators that if he could turn back the clock he would do many things differently. As soon as he finished speaking, sparks began to fly.
The chairman of the committee held up a chart suggesting that Fuld's personal remuneration totalled $480m (£276m) over eight years, including payouts of $91m in 2001 and $89m in 2005.
"Your company is now bankrupt and our country is in a state of crisis," said Waxman, a liberal from California. "You get to keep $480m. I have a very basic question: Is that fair?"
After a long pause, Fuld said the figure was exaggerated: "The majority of my compensation, sir, came in stock. The vast majority of the stock I got I still owned at the point of our [bankruptcy] filing."
Waxman cut him off, saying that even if the figure was slightly lower, it was "unimaginable" to much of the public. "Is that fair, for a CEO of a company that's now bankrupt, to make that kind of money? It's just unimaginable to so many people."
"I would say to you the $500m number is not accurate," said Fuld. "I'd say to you, although it's still a large number, for the years you're talking about here, my cash compensation was close to $60m, which you've indicated here, and I took out closer to $250m [in shares]."
Interrupting again, Waxman listed Fuld's collection of property, including a $14m ocean-front villa in Florida and a home in an exclusive ski resort.
"You and your wife have an art collection filled with million dollar paintings," Waxman said. "Your former president, Joe Gregory, used to travel to work in a helicopter."
A pugnacious congressman with a bald head and military moustache, Waxman warmed to his theme: "You made all this money taking risks with other people's money."
Refusing to give ground, Fuld said his pay had been set by an independent compensation committee which spent "a tremendous amount of time" making sure executives' interests were aligned with those of shareholders.
"When the company did well, we did well," Fuld said. "When the company did not do well, we didn't do well."
Waxman disagreed:
"Mr Fuld, there seems to be a breakdown, because you did very well when the company was doing well and you did well when the company was not doing well. And now your shareholders who owned your company have nothing. They've been wiped out."
Fuld's evidence was his first public appearance since Lehman failed, sparking a chain of events which has sent shockwaves through the global financial system and prompted the US government to begin a $700bn bail-out of the banking sector.
A lifelong Lehman employee who joined the firm as an intern in 1966, Fuld has been blamed for the debacle by many of the bank's 28,000 staff - including those in London who have accused senior management of filleting Lehman's British operation of money in the bank's final days.
Deadpan and emotionless, Fuld repeatedly frustrated congressmen by answering questions with lengthy, technical financial explanations.
Frustrated by his demeanour, a Republican congressman, John Mica, tried humour: "If you haven't discovered your role, you're the villain today. You've got to act like a villain."
Fuld stared back wordlessly, without a shadow of a smile.

Super-rich become wealthier again, Sunday Times says
The UK's super-rich have seen a resurgence in their fortunes, the Sunday Times Rich List suggests.
London-based steel tycoon Lakshmi Mittal topped the list for the sixth consecutive year with a £22.45bn pile.
Many, including Mr Mittal, were hit badly by the economic downturn, shrinking their wealth in 2009.
But the collective fortunes of the top 1,000 on the list have risen by 30% in the past year - the biggest jump in the list's 22-year history - to £333.5bn.
Last year the top 1,000 saw their fortunes decrease by about £155bn - to £258bn - and the number of billionaires fell from 75 to 43. This time, it has risen by 10 to 53.
Mr Mittal, who owns Arcelor Mittal, saw his fortune double from £10.8bn to £22.45bn as the global steel industry recovered from the economic decline.
Russian oligarch and Chelsea Football Club owner Roman Abramovich remains at second place with a £7.4bn fortune thanks to a 6% increase of £400m.
Third place again remains stable, with the Duke of Westminster's wealth increasing by £250m to £6.75bn. The British-born billionaire's money comes mainly from property.
Although retail giant Sir Philip Green and his wife Lady Christina Green saw their riches increase from £3.83bn to £4.10bn, they dropped in the rankings from sixth place to ninth.
But Indian-born Anil Agarwal was the highest climber. He moved 60 places up to 10th position thanks to the rising share prices of mining group Vedanta Resources.
His wealth jumped a staggering 583% from £600m to £4.1bn.
The fact that some people's wealth can increase in one year by more than I have ever earned or owned in my entire life is mind-boggling...

all I can say is, it sure would be nice to be rich and not have to worry about material things and how to get them
then again it sure would be nice to be dirt poor and not ever think of the things that you lack but the things that you have
I think life would be alot easier if you were rich, however if you became rich from rich family what have you, it sure would blend the lines between what is right and wrong, morally and personally how would you find a real friend when most friends would have some sort of personal gain to befriend you
The richest persons in the world are those with no real pride on material things, most buddists would agree
I walk through streets where people have shacks and shantys put up, who don't own much and barely have a pot to piss in yet still are very happy to say hello
I have met a few rich people as well, who have had attitudes but I say, who could blame someone who has been given everything not to expect any less from the rest of society

Lucy Mori's Comments
Comment on: Enter the 2014 AJ Women in Architecture Awards
I have found just being at the awards events in 2012 and 2103 inspiring and empowering - and this year I am thinking hard about whom to nominate. I have been checking past Stirling and RIBA gold medal winners for other women architects to celebrate. My short-list includes Patty Hopkins who was joint winner of RIBA Gold Medal; Denise Scott Brown - for obvious reasons; M J Long; and Georgie Wolton 'forgotten' 4 member of Team 4. Am I allowed to nominate more than one?
Comment on: Major breakthrough in PQQ reform
I am really pleased for Walter Menteth who devoted much of his life over the past 2-3 years to the issue of public procurement reform with the RIBA Procurement Reform Group and with the support of Angela Brady. Their objective has been to open up public procurement to all architects, the majority of whom work in SMEs, but especially to enable access to public sector projects to small practices. The revised Directiive responds to the main concerns of thresholds, tier 2 suppliers, turnover requirements, MEAT and 'bodies covered by public law'. Let us hope the directive is implemented swiftly in the UK and the increased efficiency contributes to the economic upswing. This is good news for architects, the construction industry and the wider economy.
Comment on: TONIGHT: Jiřičná and Brooks to speak at Women in Architecture talk
I encourage all architects to attend the Women in Architecture Events - for women it is empowering and inspiring to be in a room full of women architects and to listen to worthy winners; for men, it can be an eye-opener not to be in the majority.
Comment on: Herzog & de Meuron wins planning for Oxford government school
I am excited about this project for Oxford - often steeped in tradition - and I support the bravery of the decision-makers. I hope the completed building does not disappoint and is as beautiful as the Prada building in Tokyo. Many of Oxford's finer modern buildings are hidden from public view, like St Catherine's College, so it is also inspiring to have this building contributing to the public realm on a busy street.
Comment on: Foster, Peter Cook, Grimshaw and Wilkinson Eyre among West Kowloon finalists
The shortlist demonstrates the high regard for British Design internationally. While West Kowloon Cultural park is a high profile project, it underlines that fact that there are significant opportunities for UK architectural practices in China. Amazingly last year only 4% of fees of UK practices was earned from international clients and projects - this must surely increase in the future.
Comment on: AJ Poll: should RIBA have an annual sustainability award?
I think the RIBA should have an annual conference - it seems to me astonishing that there is no annual conference - and this would be an opporunity to showcase all awards - including one for sustainibility if appropriate. Awards are useful for promoting selection criteria and raising the profile of architects who embrace those criteria. More work needs to be done on combining good design with environmental performance - so this could be a valuable initiative.
Comment on: Relaxed rules for house extensions could become permanent, says minister
I think this is an excellent initiative but not one which is going to drive the economy. Increasing the density of existing urban areas makes good sense - rather than building in the green belt. However small projects are not going to amount to huge increases in construction spending across the economy. The upside is that there will be opportunities for the majority of architects in the UK who work in micro practices and depend on small domestic projects.
Comment on: Hadid mulls practice title change
Zaha Hadid is in her sixties - she needs to think about succession planning - does she want her practice and work to continue after her retirement (or death)? She might consider a younger partner (not sure how old Patrik Shumacher is) but the choice of partner is a difficult one - not only strategically but also pychologically. It will be hard to find other candidates within the practice who can match her charisma and talent; bringing in new partners from outside rarely works.

This is the compelling tale of a life spent battling against the odds and achieving world-wide recognition as an outstanding sportsman, a role model, and a highly accomplished businessman, updated to include Sir Jackie's thoughts on the present F1 season and events in his life in the past year.

Main BBC channels to be broadcast live via web
Remember when?
You used to have to pay TV license for having a radio set? They abolished it when TV was making enough money and becoming the main financial source for the beeb. Doesn't it stand to reason that the same will happen with TVs and the Internet?
As the internet increases in popularity, the TV set will decrease, meaning that the BBC have less money, and therefore need a new income. I don't have a problem with giving some money to the BBC, it's not like they're using the money to shoot puppies or something.

Another Viewpoint
One thing that no one has pointed out, is that it's not the users' fault. If your car has an electrical error and suddenly your alarm goes off, or you drive into a ditch, this is not your problem. When your computer is infected with a bot, essentially the Operating System was faulty to begin with, to let this happen.
Having a test is not necessary, all people who go through the education system learn how to adequately use a computer nowadays. It's the previous two generations that are causing more of these problems, and I believe mainly because of XP. Vista has taken a few steps in this direction (with UAC, which just happens to be the name of the bad guys in doom), but it isn't yet enough for me to be sure that Windows is a safe operating system. The amount of systems that I've seen running XP when they just can't handle it is depressing, these are often the worst PCs to fix, because they still feel broken once there are no errors.
I really think you missed the point when you wrote this article. Education is the reason that bots appear on the 'net, people don't know how to stop them. You teach someone how to cook before they use a cooker, how to read before you give them The Simarillion, why not PCs? Just educate people and the problem will change and we'll have different things to complain about.

Chemical weapons are not WMDs
The Media
Although chemical weapons are not actually classed as WMDs, the media picks up and demonises them because they don't have any practical experience, and it becomes the norm. The same thing happens with Hacker and Cracker, the former has been used out of context so much that it is now the norm. Also with Mass and Weight, I don't say I weigh 500N, but that's what it means.
I think the author makes some very valid points about chemical weapons. Something like napalm or cluster bombs are much easier to kill people with, especially in crowded areas.
About Saddam... it's not very difficult to kill people living in villages, hence called because they are small. He probably could have just sent a quick few shells or two men with some guns and done the job exactly the same. In my opinion, I think he was training his men for using them against a real enemy. When he realised they weren't as useful as conventional means, he didn't bother using them again, which would be why no chemical weapons were used against soldiers in Iraq.

Expert Review of Santa Barbara Island
Family Review of Santa Barbara Island
Parks and Outdoors Review of Santa Barbara Island
Parks and OutdoorsExpert Tips & Helpful Hints
- With only one square mile of land surface, Santa Barbara Island is the smallest of the Channel Islands, and the least visited. The island has several short hiking trails including the Signal Peak Loop Trail, which travels from the landing cove to Signal Peak, elevation 634 feet, the highest point on the island. At the top you'll be treated to a view of Sutil Island, an important seabird rookery.
- Santa Barbara Island is home to 14 land birds, including three that are endemic subspecies: horned lark, orange-crowned warbler, and house finch. The island is also an important nesting site for seabirds. Western gulls, brown pelicans, cormorants, storm-petrels, and Xantus murrelets lay their eggs and raise their chicks here.
- Snorkeling in the landing cove is a popular activity. The protected waters around the island are home to sea stars, sea urchins, and bright orange garibaldi, California's state saltwater fish. Snorkelers share the water with California sea lions and harbor seals.
Beach Review of Santa Barbara Island
BeachExpert Tips & Helpful Hints
- Santa Barbara is the smallest of the islands—just one square mile. It's one of the most important nesting sites for seabirds.
- Santa Barbara is good for snorkeling, diving, swimming, and kayaking. In the Landing Cove, snorkelers will see orange garibaldi fish and sea urchins, and maybe share the water with sea lions or harbor seals. There can be strong currents around all of these islands, and wet suits are recommended due to the cold water.
- Snorkelers, divers, and swimmers should always use the buddy system and let someone on shore know where, exactly, they're going to be. The law requires divers to display a dive flag.

Yea that makes sense!!!
All I am saying is please not lets get out our rope and lynch mob started even before a preseason game has commenced!!!
Lets let the coaches try and improve the team and then see what we have!!!
Jets fans tend to over-react to fluff pieces like this one - and I absolutely understand why.
Its been an embarrassing couple of years, thats for sure.
Mornhingweg's lack of success as a HC does not really reflect on his ability as a coordinator - some guys are great at the X's and O's but do not have the wherewithal to run the team from top to bottom - incidentally, this is exactly how we'll view Rex at the end of his tenure as Jets HC.
Sanchez is a hot button topic right now, Marty should know that when he floats opinions on Marks accuracy - especially after a 3 interception day - he has to be aware of the level of cynicism this will be met with.
In the overall scheme of things, like much of OTA's and pre-season, none of this really means very much.
Alot of the factors that go into deciding who the starting QB will be are hidden from most fans - because we only hear about what the media see's and only then; after they've put their own spin on things.
Huge fan of his ability to craft an excellent defense, probably one of the best in the league on that side of things - but the HC has to be more responsible than just the side of the ball he finds most comfortable.
The offense has been a growing problem - a trend likely to continue this season - and its really hamstringing any chances we have of making the playoffs.
Maybe there is room to say he will eventaully be a 'terrific HC' but I honestly can't see how you can make that case right now.
I thought Henning was our most scientific OC.
Hackett compared designing an offense to "making a stew."
Schottenheimer was a student, Sparano a Jackass-of-no-trades.
I really don't know what to expect from Marty, but gotta say this about him.
Every time I watched a Philly game or switched the channel during a Jets break, their offense compared to ours was night and day.
Eagles exploded off the ball, got instant separation, ran well around the edges, and everything was at rocket speed.
Why can't the Jets do that? I wondered.
When I saw who the OC was I thought, really? That guy? The knucklehead from Detroit?
They'd move the ball with ease but Vick imploded in the redzone a lot. Vick alone pissed away so many impressive drives.
Plus he's never 100% healthy.
Mark treats it like a regular Mon-Fri job and on Sundays he rests and takes a mental vacation.
Fans are jazzed to kick some ass and Mark shows up like a donkey on tranquilizers.
LOL... I can't believe people, JETS "fans", actually believe Sanchez is even MEDIOCRE!
I wish you people worked for Miami or New England or something!
With the lack of competant QB right now no oc is going to look great. All I can say is I have about 1000% more confidence that this guy will have an nfl offense than the horrible awful hire that was sparano.
t figure out what his personal could do.
Morngwig is an okay OC he hasn't accomplished anything. He is more recycled trash. The Jets hired Rex because he was an innovative. The hired Morningwig because he wasn't controversial. He is another disciple he isn't a creative state of the art offensive mind. We are most certainly thinking in the box on O. If you want to applaud that kind of thinking when we have a rival in our division who runs the best O in the league fine. I don't agree.
If you don't think scheme matters when you have a weak armed QB who is coming off shoulder surgery you're not thinking about what the OC job is. Protect the QB who is the life blood of team. Dinger didn't do that he put his QB at risk because he wanted to run his scheme in spite of the personal.

Norv Turner is the most obvious example. Buddy Ryan (depending on who you ask, Rex Ryan), Dick Lebeau, Dan Henning, Jason Garrett, Mike Mularky, etc...
Good Coordinators become head coaches, most head coaches get fired. Why? Most coordinators are not good head coaches.
Mornhinweg has been an OC for 11 season with 2 teams, He finished in top 10 in points 8 times, and top 5, 5 times. He's finished top 10 in yards 7 times. Again, he could be terrible for the Jets, but it's quite simplistic to say the "Eagles had a lackluster offense" without acknowledging he coached a team that lost their starting RB, starting QB, and #1 WR for significant chunks of the season.
You do have to reconcile that McCoy got hurt at the end of the season, though. Also that DeSean Jackson missed a bunch of the season, and that they were starting a 3rd round rookie QB for 6 games.I just cannot reconcile the offensive talent the Eagles had last year with a 29th ranked offense and a 4-12 record. Same goes for an 8-8 record the season before.
Also, they were top 10 in yards and points the year before (and the 3 previous years as well, except they were 11th in yards, one season). I'm not sure if you can pin the 8-8 record solely on the offense in 2011.
Last edited by Batmans A Scientist; 05-28-2013 at 12:14 PM.
Is there any fanbase that is happy with their OC? All of them seem to criticize the playcalling, decisions, etc.
I just know that Schotty and Sparano were not working out for us. So I'm glad they brought in some new blood. I doubt MM will be able to get the offense to become a high flying attack. That certainly isn't going to happen this season. But I am all for seeing this through with MM. Give him what he wants/needs and lets see what he can do.
All you need to know is that Marty Mornhinweg is now on the Jet coaching staff. It does not bode well.

Thanks to You, donmarvin and to all previous contributors!
I set up a cron job in my cpanel for the first time - it was much easier than I expected. I had always avoided the crontab, thinking it was too complicated.
Put this in the cron's "command to run":
php /home/[MYPATH]/public_html/administrator/components/com_xcloner/cloner.cron.php
replacing [MYPATH] with yours.
The cron job runs JoomlaCloner every night, which creates a backup file and ftp's the file to another server.
So now I can have all the Joomla sites I manage run a daily backup and transfer it off the live server to another server that's used for storing backups.
You can set it to delete backups that are older than xx days.
The advanced search does not give you the option of disabling (not showing) certain search fields, such as "country" or "district". If you're running a local real estate site, you don't want the county field showing in the search options.
Using parameters I was able to write one include file for all 16 calls to the code!
