Blog #11: Class Highlights
Francisco Alvarado
Throughout the quarter and throughout the pages of our textbook Mass Media in a Changing World, I had quite a few "Aha" moments in which I found answers to questions (new and old), learned new concepts and phrases, and further developed my media literacy. One of these "Aha" moments was reading that the Yellow journalists of the 1890s forced the hand of the US government, and led to the declaration of the war against Spain in 1898. The media had enough power, even back then, to push the issues it wants.
Another "Aha" moment was when I read that in the average hour of format-style radio, there are (approximately) 33 minutes of music and talk, 13.5 minutes of information, and 12 minutes of commercials. I've always felt that it was the music played for at least 45 minutes every hour, then I find out that it's half of every hour! Everyone's got to get paid I guess.
Another "Aha" moment was when I read that Public Relations departments, agencies, specialists, use a tactic named Trial Balloons when they want to gauge public opinion. They "leak" information regarding a major policy in government or a potential merger between companies.
Week 11: Class highlights
Man! There have been so many things that has opened my mind in this class. I have definitely learned a lot and my view of media is slowly changing. Before, I already thought I was aware of what was happening around me in the media but as this class went on, I found that there was so much more that goes into everything.
Media makes sense to me now. I know that censoring something isn't the way to do things. Everything should be laid out on the table so that people can make the choice. Eventually, I know they'll come around. With censoring, I really feel that it will make people more curious than it should. I know that's what happened to me. When my parents restricted something, I really went out of my way to try to find out what they're hiding. People will always have curiosity and if that curiosity gets cut off, it's going to come by 2 x's bigger.
I realize that the first amendment is just so broad that many people can do and say what they want to express their opinion. That's great, but at the same time I'm worried about all those who use that power t slander others.
I was also really shocked by Bowling for Columbine when the opening scene was that Michael could get a gun just for opening a bank account. Just how crazy. I'm blown away by this class.
Week 10: Media Ethics
I'm totally weirded out by the ethics that our media is using today. When watching Outfoxed and I saw that reporter just chumming it with President Bush.. it's like wait what? Is that ethical? Can he just be casually talking about how his wife is hanging out with President Bush's daughter?
It's just so weird that the media has their own agenda nowadays. It seems as though, they don't really care what or how their news gets out there. Just as long as it gets out.
I really hope that this can change soon. I hope to find more ethical people who know where the boundary lines are. It's just getting crazy. For example, I read an article on the media lobbying complex where retired military analysts who work for a big corporation gets paid to go on the news and talk about their stance on nuclear power plants.
One man had the title Military Analyst but it didn't say that he was also working for the corporation that would ultimately benefit from his opinion of pushing for more nuclear power. Saying that if more nuclear power plants are built then America can have more jobs. Seriously.. how crazy is that. I feel that, there's so many ways for people to keep up with the news that the actual news / journalism industry is trying to keep up.
Week 9: Social Media Law
This image is using the techniques of beautiful people and slogan. They're using slogan with the phrase "Let your beauty be seen".
Then the ad is using beautiful people because the illustration show this man and woman with great skin complexion, clean cut clothing and fantastic smiles. No flaws or anything.
Week 8: Social Media Law
This article is about a company suing it's past employee for rights to a twitter account. The twitter account was started by the employee on behalf of the company. But, the employee is now using the account for personal use.
I feel like it's misappropriation because the employee knew that the twitter account is and was made for the company so why continue to use it for himself. If it reflects the values of the company, anything after could be viewed libel or skewed since he no longer works for them.
Week 7: Internet
The internet was almost a second lifeline for me. I once almost got lost in the virtual world when it first came out. All thanks to my friend Michael. He was obsessed. What's crazy was that my brother, Michael and I used to play outside each and everyday. And once dial-up was getting faster, we could find Michael online playing DBZ or Neopets.
After a while, it'd just be my brother and I playing outside everyday while Michael took up all his free time using the internet to keep playing his games. It was getting to the point where he refused to do anything else but stay inside his room and play. I was honestly worried. After a while, high school started and he saw that he wanted to be outside again. He took up skateboarding and the rest is history. The internet no longer affected his life.
Week 11: Class Highlights
Throughout this quarter, this class has effected my media literacy. This class has taught me about the history many forms of media, what they do for the people, and the issues and controversies that came along with it. However, this class doesn't change my view of media. I still have the same beliefs and views of media that I had when I walked into this class for the first time in the beginning of the Winter Quarter. For quite a while, i believe that many media outlets don't really serve the greater good of the people. It just tells us what we wanna hear. This class did however, teach me to be more analytical of the information that the media puts out. My media literacy has improved since i feel like i can read between the lines now.
Week 9: Propaganda in Advertising
This ad by Cadillac uses both "Flag Waving" and "Transfer (Association)". The ad mentions a lot of great things (such as Disney, Amazon, Wright Brothers, etc.) that have come out of American garages, and associates them with Cadillac cars, which are from American Garages like the many examples the ad has used. It is also a flag waving ad since it talks about the many great things to have come out of American Garages, implying that many of Cadillac's compettitors aren't that great since they aren't from American Garages, which is patriotic.
Week 10: Media Ethics
Today, I think Media Ethics have hit an all time low. Because most news outlets today are owned by major conglomerates, I believe they all give you biased information. Most of the information media gives you is either black or white. Half of the information the media feeds you is based on liberal beliefs and ideals, and the other half is based on conservative beliefs and ideals. The fact that the Daily Show with Jon Stewart gives you more truthful information than many other major news outlets, and the fact that you can trust its information more than many news outlets is pretty sad. The Daily Show is just comedic, satrical news program that airs on Comedy Central. It doesn't even air on major news networks like CNN, NBC, and Fox News, networks were you should be able to get reliable information since that is their purpose. Also, magazines don't really help either. Most magazines tells people how to look, especially women, since they photoshop their cover models to the point it doesn't even look like them anymore. It alters reality, especially for those women who actually want to look like them. Today media doesn't serve for the greater good of the people, it just gives us what we want to see and hear, and not the information that we should have. And if they don't tell you what you want to hear, then they try to manipulate you into having the beliefs they want you to have.
Week 2: Media Impact or Books
One of the first favorite books a had was Wayside School Gets A Little Stanger by Louis Sacher. It was one of my first favorite books i remember, since i remember reading this book over and over again as a kid, and the book was part of a trilogy, with this one in particular being the last. Nowadays it just serves as nostalgia. One of my other favorite books i have read was Flags of our Fathers by James Bradley. It is about a group of soldiers fighting in the Battle of Iwo Jima during WWII, and how they are remembered for raising the flag on Iwo Jima. It was my favorite book that i read in middle school, and it got me interested into knowing about the WWII since i found it to be pretty interesting. Because of this, i started playing Call of Duty a lot, since at the time they were about WWII. My last favorite book was I Am Jackie Chan: My Life in Action. It is literally my last favorite book, since its the last book i recall reading that i have enjoyed. I havn't actually had a favorite book after this, i have been a "required reader" ever since. It is an autobiography about Jackie Chan, and how he grew up in Hong Kong, and how he ended up becoming a famous actor. He was also one of my favorite actors growing up.
Blog Post# 11

After completing this class my eyes were opened to all the things that happen behind the scenes that we usually don't see. A lot of the history of all the mediums that we learned about was really interesting. It was also interesting to see how every invention of media affected the medium before it. I have a better understanding now of what different things mean. I now also know a good amount of history and controversies that are associated with every aspect of media.
I still view media that same but now I have a better sense of media literacy to where I can dissect the images more carefully and understand what it is trying to do. The type of advertisement methods that we learned about really changed the way I saw media. It was really interesting to see how companies try to play with human emotions to try and sell their products.
Week 11: Class Highlights
While in Journalism class, there were a few "Aha" moments, which really caught me off guard. My first "Aha" moment was when I learned about how much the media uses scapegoats. This is something I observed during Brandon's presentation in which people used Grand Theft Auto 5 as a scapegoat for their poor judgements. This is something people seemed to do in the Bowling for Columbine incident where Marilyn Manson was blamed by parents for the horrific incident. Another "Aha" moment in journalism was when I learned how the media edits their photos so make them more appealing towards their audiences. I learned this when it was pointed out in class how the image of the Boston Bombing was edited to appeal more to certain readers. And lastly, my third favorite "Aha" moment was when I did my own research paper and presentation and discovered that reality television actually does have a profound effect on the behaviors of teenagers. It actually alters the way the act and the way they perceive things, which leads them to act out more than kids who do not watch would.
Week 10: Media Ethics
I feel that the media has a pretty poor sense of ethics. They seem to post whatever will catch attention, and twists stories to appeal to a certain audience or to get more attention than they normally would. One way they practice unethical behaviors is that they alter pictures and videos through photoshop or programs such as those in order to portray a different concept rather than the truth. The way the images of the Boston marathon bombing were edited were a great example of how unethical behaviors mislead people. People took more of an interest in that image because there was more blood than there actually was, but at the same time some companies edited the image to make it more appealing to those who could not stand such a gory image by replacing a severed leg from the image. Although the media has certain rules that they follow in order to be considered "Ethical," the practices that they generally follow in order to attempt to draw more attention to their stories are what make them unethical.
Week 8: Media Law
Media Law; Brian Ho
A media law case that I am going to be briefly describe is Capital Record Inc vs Thomas-Rasset. Defendant Appllee Jammie Thomas-Rasset was found legally responsible in district court for illegally distributing copyrighted music over the Internet. Capital Record Inc owned many catalogs of music and Thomas-Rasset was caught distributing 24 songs that had its rights owned by Capital Record itself. In my opinion, I felt that Capital Record Inc had the right to pursue legal actions towards Thomas-Rasset because Thomas-Rasset did not ask for Capital Record Inc if they can share the songs or not and the songs was protected by rights.
Week 10: Media Ethics
Week 10; Brian Ho
These I feel like Media Ethics relies on the truth from journalist and news reporters. They are the front of the news because they document it along with reporting it live to their viewers. Also, there are many bias news groups like Fox, CNN and many others out there that just want to talk about their views and not hear upon others. There is a lot of censorship to now. Many people are not able to let their voice be heard so they have to rely on the internet where it is much easier to publish an opinion piece, rather then saying it in public and get in trouble for it. Also, these days there are many advertisements in media sources so sometimes it is overwhelming with them. Money is generated through advertisements, so I can see why there a lot of advertisements swarmed with them.
Week 9: Propaganda in Advertising
Week 9; Brian Ho
The two propaganda techniques that I am going to be focusing on is appeal to fear and appeal to authority. The advertisement that I chose was a Nazi Propaganda poster that was in 1936 that shows a Nazi soldier in a medieval armor holding a shield and sword. The purpose of the poster was to show fear to the Soviets while letting the Soviets know that the Nazis is the main authority that they should listen to. It does show appeal to fear because during the 1936, the Nazi army was slowly rising to be the top in the world while all their propaganda posters were meant to show authority.

Out of the many Aha Moments, here are three that are important to me.
1. Chapter 1: The Audience is the Final Arbiter of meaning – While I knew that the audience is an important part of mass media and communication, it was interesting to note the audience's large impact. I was surprised to note how the meaning of posters changed because of what the audience thought of them.
2. Chapter 3: Codex, Chapbooks and Dime novels – Reading is one of my most favorite things to do and finding books for cheap and books that were readily available is sometimes a problem. It was interesting to see how early books were and how books that sold for little money helped spread literacy and entertainment.
3. Chapter 5: Hand painted illustrations in early magazines – In present day printing, there is such a large quantity of printing done at one time that it is hard to think of even printing a document one by one to have multiple copies. Learning about hand-painted illustrations made me appreciate the hard work and talent that went into each one.
Week 11: Class Highlights

I learned a lot in Journalism. What I learned that I will definitely continue to use is media literacy and perception. I learned that I can easily be persuaded by media either to buying a particular product or siding with a situation like a presidential election.
I still view media the same way as I always do, but I am just a little more cautious on the media trying to perceive me. After watching OutFoxed, I realized that the media always choose a side. There is not an equal news station that speaks on both views, it is either one side or the other.
I still believe the First Amendment is really important for media impacts. It is important for everyone to have those rights, other wise no one would have freedom of expression to voice their opinions, especially the media.
Week 11: Class Highlights
Class Highlights
I learned a variety of lessons that involved media in class. I view the media somewhat in a different way. Before this class, I knew a little bit knowledge about our media, but because of this class, it broadened my mind. For example, I always knew the news could be a bit sketchy, but I didn't realize that they can curve their announcements so that the audience can view a topic in a different way. For example, FOX news wanting to make Democrats look dumb and Republicans smart. I knew that the First Amendment is quite controversy especially since it's freedom of media. But in my opinion, it's still a problem that the media is taking advantage of this where it's probably too much freedom of speech.

Gold is coming under a bit of selling pressure in New York after opening higher in Asia alongside of silver last evening. Both markets then saw selling originating in the form of both profit taking and new short positions (from top pickers) after traders' attentions turned back to the sovereign debt woes in Euroland, particularly Greece.
Also there was a bit of news that China was not going to be in a hurry to loosen the monetary strings as quickly as some were anticipating.
Either way, it led to a reversal of the recent risk trades in favor of the safe havens once again with the bonds getting a strong bid (they are now over a full point higher) so much so that the yield on the Ten Year Note is currently 1.84%. You have to understand that a great deal of these FOMC shenanigans have but one true purpose beyond the obvious ploy to keep the stock market propped up during an election year and that is to ATTEMPT TO PUSH BORROWING COSTS FOR THE US GOVERNMENT LOWER.
The fiscal condition of the US is so abysmal that rising longer term interest rates will send the deficit soaring even higher due to the escalation of servicing its gargantuan debt load. While this government-sanctioned mugging of savers and retirees continues, the US gets to borrow its trillions at extremely low rates, rates which otherwise would force a much larger chunk of its revenue to go towards paying higher borrowing costs.
It seems to me that the Gold market is seeing through all of this mess as it saw good buying below $1720 this morning. Bulls are reluctant to push it higher in today's trading session and are not chasing it but they do seem willing to step in down at these slightly lower levels. With some of the momentum indicators in overbought territory, some have decided to book a few profits out of the nice rally and see what their next move will be.
Any reversal higher in equities later in the session or a continuation of the recent Euro rally will see a rather swift bout of short covering occur in gold. We'll have to see whether or not we get that. In the meanwhile, the bears have the advantage for today's session as selling is being seen across nearly the entirety of the commodity complex with energy, grains and metals all lower.
"Woe to the land whose king is a child and whose leaders are already drunk in the morning. Happy the land whose king is a nobleman, and whose leaders work hard before they feast and drink, and then only to strengthen themselves for the tasks ahead". (Eccl 10: 16-17)
"When misguided public opinion honors what is despicable and despises what is honorable, punishes virtue and rewards vice, encourages what is harmful and discourages what is useful, applauds falsehood and smothers truth under indifference or insult, a nation turns its back on progress and can be restored only by the terrible lessons of catastrophe." … Frederic Bastiat

Evil talks about tolerance only when it's weak. When it gains the upper hand, its vanity always requires the destruction of the good and the innocent, because the example of good and innocent lives is an ongoing witness against it. So it always has been. So it always will be. And America has no special immunity to becoming an enemy of its own founding beliefs about human freedom, human dignity, the limited power of the state, and the sovereignty of God. – Archbishop Chaput

text: AP Faults Businesses for Following Obamacare Rules as Written by John Sexton Jun 14, 2013 12:37 AM PT Share This: Print The Affordable Care Act may not be affordable for a lot of low-wage employees of the type the program was intended to help. Despite the apparent flaw being with the design of the law itself, the Associated Press frames the issue in terms of corporate villains taking advantage of a loophole: Because of a wrinkle in the law, companies can meet their legal obligations by offering policies that would be too expensive for many low-wage workers. For the employee, it's like a mirage — attractive but out of reach. The company can get off the hook, say corporate consultants and policy experts, but the employee could still face a federal requirement to get health insurance. Many are expected to remain uninsured, possibly risking fines. That's due to another provision: the law says workers with an offer of "affordable" workplace coverage aren't entitled to new tax credits for private insurance, which could be a better deal for those on the lower rungs of the middle class. A few sentences later we learn that the law mandates that companies offer plans costing no more than 9.5% of an employees annual salary. So someone making $21,000 could be expected to pay, at most, $1,995 a year or $166 a month. According to the AP, even half that amount ($83 bucks a month) might be too much. In running through these figures, the AP cites a spokesman for left-wing Families USA and former SEIU President Andy Stern. Stern calls the law as written "an avoidance opportunity" for businesses. Eventually the AP gets around to talking to someone from the National Retail Federation who is forced to deny a "grand scheme to avoid responsibility." Again, these are businesses following the law as written who even before the law is fully enacted are being accused of cheating people. Dropped casually in the midst of the AP story is one half-hearted finger wag at President Obama, "It's not exactly the picture the administration has painted." This is followed by a defense from a White House spokesman saying it's up to businesses to make things work. The Affordable Care Act may be badly designed and destined to fall short of its goals. If so, those failures rest with the bill's authors, not with the companies who are struggling to carry on with their actual purpose even as resource consuming mandates are forced upon them by Washington. The penumbra of power expands again by John Hayward Jun 14, 2013 8:53 AM PT Share This: Print In response to AP Faults Businesses for Following Obamacare Rules as Written: This reminds me of those Apple executives getting hauled in front of Congress to explain why they didn't voluntarily drag their overseas income back to the United States, so our tax-hungry regime could grab a cut. A great penumbra of expectations exists around hard-core legislative power. The law states what we are required to do, but Big Government goes further and tells us what it expects from us. It is very unhappy when we don't act in accordance when we do what is allowed, rather than what we were "supposed" to do. As power grows, the penumbra expands. The government has interests in every aspect of American life, and while it's already micro-regulating much of it, there are grand strategies piled on top of what it has explicitly legislated. And we're already far past the point where the Leviathan State actually pays for what it demands, or honestly informs the populace about how much its proposals will cost. Unfunded mandates shift massive amounts of cost off the government's books and drop them on private industries... which are then demonized if they try to pass those costs along to their customers. The biggest shell game in Washington is the manipulation of those sacred Congressional Budget Office cost estimates, by the simple expedient of pushing the really awful financial damage beyond the 10-year forecast window. That's how the ObamaCare fraudsters were able to pretend this utter disaster would be relatively inexpensive. (It seems almost surreal to remember it now, but Obama and his squad of liars used to pretend ObamaCare would actually reduce the deficit.) Private-sector leaders know what the ruling class wants them to do. Never mind what the law actually says.

TISHOMINGO, OK - Country music star Miranda Lambert was honored Saturday night by the Johnston County Chamber of Commerce.
Lambert was recognized for her work in launching her store the Pink Pistol in Tishomingo. The grand opening was held on 'Pink Friday', the day after Thanksgiving.
The chamber said since the opening, thousands of shoppers from across the country have visited the store and the community of Tishomingo.
The Pink Pistol was named the chamber's new business of the year.
Lambert was accompanied by her husband Blake Shelton.
She also received legislative citations from both the Oklahoma House of Representatives and the State Senate.

November 26, 2014
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) - Haiti has raised the minimum wage for the 29,000 workers who sew together T-shirts and other clothing in the country's apparel factories.
President Michel Martelly, his prime minister and a Cabinet member who oversees labor conditions signed the 25 percent increase into law. It took effect Thursday and The Associated Press obtained a copy of the decree Monday.
The law says the workers will now earn about $5.68 per eight-hour workday. It falls far short of the equivalent of $11.36 per workday that protesting garment workers have demanded.
Last year's inflation rate in Haiti was 3.2 percent.
Parliament last approved a raise in the minimum wage in 2009. That increased the daily rate from about $1.50 to around $4.50 over a three-year period.

Your Baby From 7 to 9 Months: Crawling
A Whole New World
Crawling doesn't merely boost physical skills. As your baby learns to move independently, she will become more aware of her surroundings and better able to navigate them, says Lise Eliot, PhD, assistant professor of neuroscience at the Chicago Medical School and author of What's Going On in There? How the Brain and Mind Develop in the First Five Years of Life (Bantam). There's a big difference between being carried around and getting somewhere yourself. Crawling helps kids learn to keep track of locations and use landmarks to orient themselves, e.g., she gets to her basket of toys by looping around the coffee table and heading toward the kitchen. "It's like the difference between driving the car and just riding along. Babies learn to solve problems by doing things for themselves. It's not calculus, but it's a definite cognitive advance," says Eliot.
Adjusting to Her Environment
Of course, just when she's learned to get to the coffee table for the remote, someone goes and leaves it on the chair! A shifting environment isn't the only learning curve baby has to negotiate. The very act of balancing in different positions takes place in the context of her own rapidly changing body. Her arms and legs might actually be longer from one month to the next, and she may weigh more. Further complicating the mix, as baby's skills become more advanced, her abilities change. In one of her studies, Adolph gathered a group of 9-month-olds who had been sitting up for a while but had only just started to crawl. In the first scenario, the babies were placed on a platform in view of a bright red ball 2 feet below. In their excited pursuit of the ball, the babies would have fallen off the platform if no one had caught them. Yet when they were seated with their legs dangling over the edge of the platform, the babies gazed at the tempting red ball but didn't reach for it because they knew they would fall.
Why were babies more cautious in the second instance? The 9-month-old babies, with several months' of sitting experience, knew what they could and couldn't do from that position. On the other hand, as novice crawlers they lacked both the depth perception and eye-hand coordination to judge their own abilities correctly during the precarious new activity.
In short, every new motor milestone for babies involves learning how to balance and move in a different way, requiring constant fine-tuning of their bodies and movements as they try new tasks.

Anne Arundel County to Sponsor Seventh Annual Homeless Resource Day Homeless Resource Day Attracts More than 300 Volunteers Annually
Annapolis, MD ( March 19, 2014) – What's so special about March 29, 2014? For many of us, it's just another day, but for homeless Anne Arundel County residents, it could be the day that changes their lives.
Anne Arundel County Department of Social Services will sponsor the seventh annual Homeless Resource Day from 8:30 a.m.-4 p.m., Saturday, March 29 at Annapolis High School, 2700 Riva Road, Annapolis. The purpose of this daylong event is to connect homeless residents to resources and services available to them.
"We will pick up residents from wherever they are in Anne Arundel County – from off the street or from a shelter," said Marcia Kennai, Director of the Anne Arundel County Department of Social Services. "We want our homeless residents to know that we care about them and there are services available to help them."
More than 325 volunteers have signed up to participate in the day's events and to act as guides to escort participants to resources available; lunch for guests is being provided by the Lighthouse Shelter and prepared by previously homeless individuals who have been trained as food service workers.
"This is truly a labor of love for Homeless Resource Day volunteers, the Department of Social Services and partner organizations," said County Executive Laura Neuman. "They are selflessly donating their time, energy and services for this worthwhile cause."
Throughout the year, schools have held sock drives, detention centers and hotels donated hygiene kits and the food bank prepares bags of food for homeless residents. In addition, doctors and nurses provide healthcare services and attorneys provide free legal counsel.
According to organizers of the event, the most popular offerings are free health screenings, identification cards provided by the Motor Vehicle Administration, a hearty lunch and free haircuts. "The things that our homeless are most excited about are the things that many of us take for granted," said Ms. Kennai. "It's the little things matter most and they go a long way in making a difference in someone's life."
To volunteer or to donate food for this annual event, contact Justin Bieler at 410-269-4749 or email@example.com.

Scott Meisterheim
Crew, AU Grabber (Kalamazoo, MI)
From Kalamazoo Michigan, Scott has drinking and anger issues, to put it lightly. He also has two daughters and is currently in arrears with their child support payments. Scott was a carpenter, but once the recession hit he decided to invest everything in being a gold dredger. This past summer, Scott's struggles with alcoholism led to a disastrous season and a brief stint in rehab. As a result, he is in even more debt. With investors and debtors hounding him, Scott had to get it together this winter, but ultimately failed. This season will prove if he can find a bigger enemy than himself.

Verizon, Experian and pals bag £25m to inspect Brits' identities for UK gov
The first private companies to win UK government contracts to verify Brits' identities online have been named. And PayPal is absent from the list despite being in the running for a slice of the £25m pot of public cash. Credit agency Experian, the Post Office, Brit upstart Mydex, Verizon and crypto biz Digidentity have now inked …
"pleased.." "developed an IDa solution that can be implemented without new legislation. "
I''ll just bet they are.
Given what a clustf**k the ID cards bill was.
Tony Blair is long gone but his infection is as virulent as ever.
"will enable people to assert their identity online safely and securely"
It is a "service" the government (IE a bunch of senior civil servants and the occasional gong hunting Minster) demand
it will be neither safe nor secure.
PayPal refused ?
I don't get it. Wouldn't an NSA-backed ID service be a Good Thing (TM) ?
Re: PayPal refused ?
If PayPal backed out that means the program is so systemically fucked that even they won't mess with it. That's bad, because PayPal is really good at systemically broken things, they should have been all over it.
An ID card by any other name
will smell just as crap
Any centralised ID system is inherrently at risk of insider breaches, as the quantity and value of personal data held in a single location make it profitable for crooks, terrorists, et al to get somebody on the inside, either by plant, or by blackmail and bribery.
Given the number of police officers charged for selling PNC, etc. data to NewsCorp has previously demonstrated.
This sounds distressingly like ID cards
By stealth, and in the hands of private companies.
Not good.
Announcing a new contest
El Reg should announce a prize for the first person to securely ID their dog.
So what are they going to do when I refuse to identify myself to Experian? I have no desire to sell my soul to them or any of their pals.
Do you have a mortgage? A loan? A credit card? A mobile phone?
If so, then Experian et al already own your soul.
Post Office
Looks like I will use the Post Office for that then. Only one that I trust in any way shape or form.
Surely the passport place would be the obvious place to do anything like this.
Just the sheer mention of Experian . . . .
I could go on about how terrible Experian is (from experience) but I'll let the rest of the internet do it for me: http://www.reviewcentre.com/reviews103312.html
Don't expect them to be any better at this....
Before you slag them all off..
MyDex are all about helping people to own and be gatekeepers to their personal data. Most Reg readers would like Mydex.
Re: Before you slag them all off..
Mydex are as bad as the rest of them, they'll be pimping your data as well, never fear. If it's a free service, you are the product.
Re: Before you slag them all off..
All Mydex does is replicate data stored elsewhere but with unproven security. There are also some 'interesting' links between Mydex, GDS and others in the ID crew - the estimable D Moss Esq has the details.
As always though, the question when using any ID or authentication service is: who owns the risk? If the answer is unclear, then it's most likely you.
The first fraud cases to come to court will no doubt clarify this
Re: Before you slag them all off..
"MyDex are all about helping people to own and be gatekeepers to their personal data. Most Reg readers would like Mydex."

Because I've met Will Heath and talked to him about it, and I'm a reasonable judge of character. I think he's well-motivated. I'd certainly rather trust him than Experian, G, Fb etc.

So MyDex makes and stores another copy of sensitive data? Where I'm from we try to reduce the number of potential attack vectors, not actively create new ones. Maybe I've been doing it wrong all these years.

Carnival Miracle Cruise Review by MNM1011: Loved It!

Compare Prices on Carnival Miracle Alaska Cruises
Loved It!
We loved having a naturalist on board to help us with wildlife sightings, especially for spotting whales. And we saw so many whales that we stopped counting!
The Cruise Director was one of the best...keeping us informed, but not overwhelming and always with a wonderful sense of humor.
We took the Tracy Arm Fjord Excursion. We highly recommend this excursion if you want to see glaciers up close. Also, loved the whale watching excursion in Juneau...much closer looks of whales, eagles and sea lions.
Our favorite on-board entertainment was the Beatles tribute. That show rocked!
My wife really didn't want to go on this cruise and I had to bribe her with a trip to Hawaii to get her to go. Turns out, this was one of her favorite cruises...but I'm still stuck with taking her to Hawaii! Less

Dolph Ziggler is still hoping to get cleared by the WWE medical staff, so that he can work Royal Rumble 2014. The former world heavyweight champion has not worked a televised match for WWE since January 6 because of a concussion.
There is a very good chance that we only have five more months of seeing CM Punk, as his contract with WWE expires in July of this year. The former heavyweight champion has openly talked about leaving the company on his own terms, so it will take some convincing from management to get him to sign a new deal.
Kharma has been focusing much more on her health than she has at any point during her professional wrestling career, as the former TNA knockout is now doing the yoga program created by Diamond Dallas Page. She has lost a considerable amount of weight since leaving WWE.
Thanks to the help of John Cena and his BodyChange program, Vickie Guerrero has been improving her health and losing weight. The WWE diva has lost approximately a dozen pounds over the last month, and she is still going strong with the program.
Michael Cole and JBL, who are close friends outside of WWE, are doing a weight loss challenge together. JBL, who currently weighs 278 pounds, wants to lose approximately 50 pounds this year. They plan on climbing a mountain together afterwards.
WWE star Brodus Clay revealed on Twitter that he has lost some more weight and is now down to 353 pounds.
"It's awesome. I think I've stumbled upon the fountain of youth or something. I'm 44 years old and I'm down to high school weight (225)."
Kharma posted a picture of her new boyd on Twitter, and it looks like the former WWE and TNA star has lost close to 100 pounds.
More details have surfaced about the backstage heat between Ric Flair and Ole Anderson, who recently conducted a shoot interview where he speaks out about his former Four Horsemen stablemate. It appears that the two of them butted heads pretty frequently when they were both a part of the creative department in WCW.

Cybercrooks' next frontier?

Internet crooks are learning ways to make dough breaking voice over IP.
An owner of two small Miami voice-over-IP telephone companies was arrested last week and charged with making more than $1 million by breaking into third-party VoIP services and routing calls through their lines. That let him collect from customers without paying any fees to route calls.

Anthony Towns Withdraws from Debian Projects
Long-standing Debian developer and former Project Leader Anthony Towns has said that he is withdrawing from current projects. The reasons seem to be a disagreement on distribution of tasks within the free Linux distribution.
In a short note titled "On freedom", Towns announces his departure in his blog. He writes: "One of the freedoms I value is the freedom to choose what you spend your time on and who you spend it with. ." Towns refers to Statute 2.1.1 of the Debian Constitution, which states that anyone can withdraw or refuse tasks: "A person who does not want to do a task which has been delegated or assigned to them does not need to do it." It is hard to say whether Towns is referring to himself or making a suggestion to other Debian developers as Towns wrote the announcement immediately after the retiring Debian project leader Sam Hocevar assigned a couple of tasks within the free operating system. Among other things he appointed Jörg Jaspert as the FTP Master and gave him full Debian Account Manager credentials. Towns links to this posting in his blog adding a comment: "And while I've spent a lot of time arguing that people in key roles in Debian still have those freedoms (hey, 2.1(1), don't you know), reality these days seems to be otherwise." Hocevar's list entry finishes with the words "These delegations are effective until revoked by the DPL or by a resolution."
At first, Jaspert responded to the appointment in his blog by publicly expressing doubt as to whether he should accept the responsibilities, forecasting criticism of his appointment and stating that he had been asked not accept. Speaking about the reasons for this request, he writes: "Mostly on the grounds that it is not nice to force new team members into an existing team, and that it is not a good environment to work in, if a DPL can do that if he feels like proving a point." In the meantime, Jaspert decided to accept the position. In a later entry he says: "I've got some pressure to not accept this delegation, but the response to my blog post about it had been extremely positive". As a Debian Account Manager, Jaspert can create and delete developer accounts to reflect the project's needs. He confirms Anthony Towns withdrawal (referring to him as "Aj" on the Debian page) by saying: "Aj resigned from anything that requires additional group privileges."
The prominent developer Towns closes his posting on his withdrawal from the project with the words: "Best of luck, and I hope y'all accept patches." So it does seem that he will continue to contribute to Debian development, although not as profusely as in former times.

regard to age differences (Casterline, Williams, and McDonald, 1986:13). Although there is very little documentation of the effects of a large age gap on a young bride and it is difficult to disentangle social-structural factors that are a consequence of a large age difference from those that are determinants (Casterline, Williams, and McDonald, 1986), it is reasonable to assume that adolescent girls with much older partners are hindered in their capacity to negotiate with their spouses about sex and reproduction as well as other aspects of domestic life.
Previous analyses of survey data in developing countries indicate that the age difference between spouses is inversely related to the wife's age at marriage, even after controlling for education (Mensch, 1986; Mensch, Bruce, and Greene, 1998). Figure 7-2a summarizes recent DHS data on age differences between spouses by age of marriage of the wife. Note that this analysis is restricted to currently married women ages 25-34 because the question on the age of one's spouse or partner is asked only of women who are married at the time of the survey. Note also that the analysis is restricted to those in first marriages, because higher order marriages tend to take place at older ages well after the transition to adulthood has taken place. The graph confirms that women who marry prior to age 18 are more likely to have spouses who are older. It also shows that there is as much, if not more variation among regions as within regions by age. Age differences are largest in Western and Middle Africa, where polygyny is still common and teenagers often become junior wives of older men. Age differences are smallest in the former Soviet Asia.
Figure 7-2b presents parallel data from the DHS but instead plots age differences as a function of male age at marriage for the same sample of women. As Casterline, Williams, and McDonald (1986) observed nearly 20 years ago in their analysis of World Fertility Survey data, age differences vary much more as a function of male age at marriage than of female age at marriage because of the greater variance in male age at marriage. Note, however, that no new information is actually provided by this graph, since male age at marriage is equal to female age at marriage plus the age difference. Nevertheless, these findings are broadly consistent with a model in which men accept or choose from a limited age range of marriageable women irrespective of their own age. In some regions, older grooms actually marry younger brides than do younger grooms, possibly a consequence of arranged marriage.
Given that there has been an increase in age of marriage for both men and women in most regions of the world, it is not obvious what the trends are with regard to age differences. In her analysis of data from 55 of 56 African countries17 over the last 50 years, Hertrich (2002) notes a decline in

Whole fish in Boston?
- b
- Bostonphotobill Nov 25, 2013 05:13 AM
I spent much of they summer in New York city. Had several meals in the Eatily seafood place. They always have one or two kinds of whole fish. Grilled, broiled or roasted.Where can I find similar offerings in Boston?
re: Madrid
A gentleman sitting next to us at the bar had it one day and raved to us about it. The current online menu lists a whole roasted Greek Bronzino.
re: BostonZest
I had the Branzino there. It was amazing. One of my favorite fishes/dishes of all time.
It is difficult getting whole fish outside Chinatown and some ethnic restaurants. New Englanders believe schrod swims around headless and finless.
re: viperlush
Courthouse will DEFINITELY cook a fish any way you want it. Pick it out at the market, tell them how you want it dressed, and it goes right next door to the restaurant for cooking. Granted the restaurant is pretty basic ambiance, but the fish is top notch.
re: rozziegirl
When I had it, it was prepared with something that wasn't curry - but it was delicious then too!
Mare in the North End usually has a Branzino on the menu. It is a type of sea bass farm raised in the Med. Seen it at Prezza and Neptune also. You might want to give them a call to see if they can do it on a day's notice.
I've seen whole Red Snapper at Oceanaire and a few other places as a special. Red snapper works well as a whole fish dish.
The problem is that most fish served here are too large to serve the whole fish as a single/double serving. Obviously swordfish but even most cod are just too large.
Courthouse is a great idea to have it out. Chinatown will do whole fish at a lot of places. Peach Farm, East Ocean City.
We've had whole fish at Desfina and Muqueca, both in Cambridge. Also at Dante in Cambridge, but that might have been a special.
I've had a whole branzino at Erbaluce... That meal made its way to the Bum Steers thread, so that should tell you how I felt about it.
I think that many places would broil or grill a whole fish with the choice depending on what's available: Legal Seafoods, McCormick and Schmicks, Oceanaire, and many more.
Looking at the Grand Central Oyster Bar menu for today (my favorite stop for thinking about seafood), they have whole bronzini, brook trout, daurade, dover sole, flounder, and smelts.
re: C. Hamster
I know I've said it before, but Tavolo is the real deal, just well executed food by the chef with a real cozy neighborhood vibe. I live in Roslindale, so it's outside my 'hood, but go out of my way as much as I can to support such a great spot.
re: chrisdapos
So does Row 34, the new place from Island Creek. Branzino last night.
I've been trying and trying to remember - I've also had a whole fish at East Coast Grill as a special. It was amazing.
have had whole dover sole at hammersley's and they filet table-side if you want.
had branzino at clio -- amazing.
Casa Portugal in Cambridge, grilled bream (dourado), always good. I think their oven baked whiting might be whole too, but can't remember, I always get the dourado!
I've had whole fish (bream) at Hungry Mother, but it was a "special", not on the menu as far as I know.

From Where I Stand: Street Art in Budapest, Hungary
March 10, 2012 § Leave a comment
One the of joys in life is finding art in unexpected places. This little guy is tucked away near an unremarkable doorway off a little street in Budapest. I like the colors, texture, and wear of the building: the cracks in the paint, the varying layers and smears of cement, the holes around the edges of the inlay. What purpose did this niche have? When was it built? How long has it been vacant? And now it is home to a most dramatic looking mouse. I just love the expression he (is it a he?) is making. Is this his reaction to being found? Eek! I hope he brightens your day as he did mine.
Keep your chin up and your eyes open. You never know what's just around the corner.
Enjoy — Livin' Love

WACO, Texas (AP) A fight over same-sex marriage in Texas is pitting Republican Attorney General Greg Abbott against a gay friend who filed the lawsuit that led to the state's ban being struck down. Abbott, who's running for Texas governor, says he considers Mark Phariss a friend but made clear he doesn't approve of Phariss' quest to wed his longtime partner
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) A New York-based nonprofit says it's discovered new documents that undermine the credibility of a key witness at the trial of a North Texas man executed for the arson deaths of his three children. The Innocence Project says it has discovered a handwritten note that suggests a prosecutor may have given leniency to a jailhouse informant who said Cameron Todd Willingham confessed to killing the children in 1991.
WASHINGTON (AP) In elections that begin next week, voters in 10 states, including Texas, will be required to present photo identification before casting ballots. The primaries will be the first major test of voter ID laws after years of legal challenges arguing that the measures are designed to suppress voting.
EL PASO, Texas (AP) Attorneys for a West Texas man convicted of two murders have filed a motion asking a judge to suppress the confession he made after his 1993 arrest. A Texas court in December overturned the convictions of Daniel Villegas, agreeing that he had ineffective counsel at trial. The man's attorney now says Villegas' confession was made under coercion and duress.
