(CNN) -- Recent revelations about the extent of government phone and Internet surveillance are already shaking up the national debate.
But these programs are just symptoms of broader changes that will be shaking up our government and society for many decades to come.
Let's not cheapen or simplify the debate by trying to ram these revelations into the GOP-friendly framework of "another Obama scandal."
We should be honest and admit that something much bigger than that is going on here. The implication of the issue for our politics will be felt long after today's round of political "gotcha" and "pin the tail on the donkey" has faded away.
The FBI and National Security Agency have been mining Internet servers, searching for e-mails, videos and other documents under a program code-named PRISM for six years.
First, let me be clear: I am an opponent of PRISM. As a matter of first principles, I oppose overreaching, unaccountable spy programs.
That's why I supported neither the so-called Patriot Act, nor the reauthorization of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, when those measures were first considered by Congress.
Nor was I supportive when President George W. Bush aggressively deployed his new powers.
Nor was I supportive when evidence began to emerge that the government was interpreting overly broad laws in an overly broad manner.
And I am not supportive now. Even as a former Obama administration official, I am always willing, when necessary, to constructively criticize the White House on matters of national importance.
But I oppose those who would try to pretend that this is somehow "another Obama scandal." It is not. What is happening is broader than that: All three branches of government and both political parties are implicated.
Congress passed the Patriot Act and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, and both the Obama and Bush administrations have implemented these programs. This is not a partisan issue.
In fact, it is much larger than any political scandal du jour. We are seeing the collision of two new forces in our society with something old, but precious.
New: The ability of terrorists, including lone wolves, to strike us at any time, including with weapons of massive destruction.
New: Information technology that gives the government extraordinary spying abilities, far beyond what was technically feasible even a decade ago.
Old: Our Constitution, written centuries before programs like PRISM could even be imagined, yet a rightly revered document that should guide us still today.
How we balance these three factors is one of the great challenges for this generation of Americans. Indeed, the collision is actually turning our political parties inside out.
There are "state powers versus civil liberties" fights happening within both parties. Presidents Obama and Bush line up on one side, together. On the other side are such strange bedfellows as Sens. Ron Wyden, D-Oregon; Rand Paul, R-Kentucky; and Jeff Merkley, D-Oregon.
The issues are so deep, profound and even existential that neither party has a stable, predictable, internal consensus.
Translation: Arguments will be heated over this balance in both parties' presidential debates.
In the Democratic primary and during the 2016 convention, champions of civil liberties will certainly challenge Obama pragmatists over government spying. This will be especially true if Vice President Joe Biden and/or former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton seek the presidency.
Meanwhile, inside the GOP, right-wing libertarians will challenge security hawks over the same issue.
It is uncertain which side in which party will win this debate. But for once, at least, we are about to enter territory that cannot easily be viewed through the lens of "party versus party."
The battle to define the proper balance between civil liberties and national security is more likely to emerge as a case of "principle versus principle," fought out inside each party.
The resulting dynamic could create very interesting political coalitions in 2016 and even a new "issue map" for American politics -- completely redrawn by one of the defining debates of our time.

Rip Hamilton might return Friday against the Pistons
BY MARK POTASH firstname.lastname@example.com March 28, 2012 9:56PM
ATLANTA, GA - MARCH 28: Taj Gibson #22 of the Chicago Bulls loses the ball against Josh Smith #5 of the Atlanta Hawks at Philips Arena on March 28, 2012 in Atlanta, Georgia.

ATLANTA — Rip Hamilton missed his 13th consecutive game with a bruised shoulder Wednesday night, but he could play against the Detroit Pistons, his former team, on Friday at the United Center.
Hamilton went through a contact drill with teammate Brian Scalabrine before the Bulls' shootaround at Philips Arena. Coach Tom Thibodeau held him out against the Atlanta Hawks as a precaution. But his return appears imminent for the first time since he suffered the injury March 5 against the Indiana Pacers.
''Today was actually the first time I did a little bumpin','' Hamilton said. ''That's what me and Scal were doing — him chasing me and bumping and having a little contact. It was good because that's the biggest thing with me, getting hit, the contact. I'm happy with my progress.''
Hamilton, 34, has played in only 16 of the Bulls' 52 games because of injuries. The leg injuries that sidelined him earlier have healed, but he's going to have to gut it out to a degree with the shoulder when he returns.
''I know that it's not going to be pain-free,'' he said with a chuckle. ''We just want to prevent me from aggravating it. [There's] going to be pain. But as long as I can get my hand over my shoulder and am able to shoot the ball, I'll be fine.''
The Bulls are 29-7 without Hamilton, but after hitting a lull in the last week, they could use the boost.
''He gives us a catch-and-shoot game,'' Thibodeau said. ''He moves without the ball and is a playmaker. Most teams trap him off catch-and-shoot, and he's a good playmaker, so it adds a lot to our offense.''
Instant offense
John Lucas III replaced C.J. Watson to start the second quarter and made a pull-up jumper 18 seconds later and scored 10 points in the quarter — typical of the instant offense Lucas has provided when Derrick Rose is out.
Lucas usually is out of the rotation when Rose and Watson are healthy. Has Lucas earned minutes even when Rose returns?
''Depending on matchups,'' Thibodeau said. ''If we need two point guards on the floor, he's shown that he can handle speed well. And C.J. also. We'll cross that bridge when we get there.''
Raining threes
The Bulls made 13 of 20 three-pointers in their 108-91 loss Monday against the Denver Nuggets and maintained their red-hot pace against the Hawks, making 7 of 7 threes until Lucas missed a forced one at the end of the second quarter.
Luol Deng, who was in a 4-for-26 three-point-shooting slump, made his first five three-pointers.
The stopper
Josh Smith tormented the Bulls in the second round of the playoffs last season and picked up where he left off with nine points in the first 8:15.
But Taj Gibson came off the bench to put the clamps on him.
Smith went 0-for-4 against Gibson and 0-for-7, including an air ball, until scoring inside against Joakim Noah with 16 seconds left in the first half.

Custom wedding gowns
Today we tend to think anything that is custom made is a luxury and probably very expensive. However, in the past custom wedding gowns was more of a necessity than a luxury. During the 1940's nothing was really available to women when it came to clothing. It was very hard to come across fabrics and accessories during this time so women did not have an option of purchasing their wedding dress off the rack. They simply had to become very creative and imaginative to create what was essentially their own custom made gown. When you have the option of making your own dress it gives you a chance to be different, unique and express your personal style.
Who makes custom wedding gowns?
Custom made wedding gowns can be made to your exact measurements and any style you choose. When designing your own dress you have the option of choosing whatever you would like. Whether it is long, short, traditional or modern designs you can choose anything! As I mentioned earlier, when something is custom made it can get pretty expensive but it may not be any more expensive than buying a new designer wedding dress. The first thing you want to do is find a seamstress or a designer who specializes in custom made wedding gowns. This is not an easy task and the local tailor will probably not be qualified. Next you need to be able to explain your idea to the seamstress when can be very difficult if you are not a good artist. Many women end up liking bits and pieces of various gowns so go through the magazines and cut out the bust, skirt, etc. that you like and piece it together. You have to give the seamstress a visual if you want it to be right. Actually designers should be able to draw you a picture of their concept for you to approve. Obviously the big names like Vera Wang and Monique Lhuillier do custom wedding gowns but it can get VERY expensive. So, if you can find a local designer or seamstress with access to beautiful fabrics that is a much more cost effective way. Another option to have a custom gown is to buy a sample wedding dress and then customize it. You can find incredible deals on designer sample gowns and then just add your personal touches like cap sleeves, sweetheart neck, additional beading, a lace up back, etc. Since the dress is essentially made it is much cheaper than starting from scratch and you can still customize it for much more reasonable than creating an entire gown.
Custom made wedding gown tips
If you choose to have you dress custom made always be sure to be as detailed as possible. A bridal gown is all about details, so know what you want and search for patterns and designs in more than just one place. Next, be realistic! Custom made wedding gowns take much longer to make than just picking a gown off the rack. Be prepared to spend a little longer as it could take up to 6 months to make your dress depending on the details and seamstress's workload. Another important factor with having a custom made dress is your budget! To prevent from spending thousands on your wedding dress let your seamstress or designer know exactly how much you want to spend and can afford and they will help you choose designs within your budget. There are many different types of inexpensive fabrics and beading that look like the real thing! Another important thing to consider when going for a custom made dress is to be consistent with your weight. Drastic weight changes will alter the shape and proportion of your body ruining the fit of your dress. Lastly, enjoy yourself! Choosing custom made wedding gowns is a once in a lifetime experience so make it worth it! Wouldn't it be great to tell everyone you designed it yourself!

Websites & The Network Effect
I took this piece of copy directly from the 37 Signals blog. When it comes to websites, it's what often the one thing we really need to break through. I also think it is why 'free' on the web just wont go away. It's something web startups just can't ignore.
The Network Effect: The network effect occurs when the value of a particular good or service increases for both new and existing users as more people use that good or service. It can also occur when other firms design products that compliment an existing product, thereby enhancing that product's value. For example, the fact that there are literally millions of people using eBay is the thing that both makes eBay's service incredibly valuable and makes it all but impossible for another company to duplicate its service.
2 minutes of Screen Culture
Our lives are increasingly being influenced by what I like to call 'Screen Culture'. Which I posted a piece on here. I thought it would be worth showing the idea in action – hence the video I made below. Many of the statistics to support the concept were garnered through 'Eye on Australia' which is an annual Grey Advertising study on consumer sentiment. The video explores the impact screens are having on our lives in the geographically specific & connected world. Enjoy!
Car smash marketing – Rebecca Black
I'm not about to make any comment on the song Friday, or about Rebecca Black. She seems like a nice enough kid having a crack at the music industry.
It is interesting how anything has a chance in a zero cost media world. Sure, not everything will cut through, but in 1991 Rebecca didn't stand a chance. She had no where to put her song (Youtube), nowhere to sell it (iTunes) and no one to spread it (Twitter / Facebook ). The invention of all this infrastructure made it possible. The thing that is different about the infrastructure versus 20 years ago is that cost of entry has been removed. Extremely good and bad start in the same place. And occasionally something unusual makes it through – so long as it is extreme in nature. No-one has placed multi-million dollar media bets on selling Rebecca's song, so the cost of promotion has been reduced to taking 3.48 minutes from our day, or typing 140 characters. It's like a car smash, we can't help but slow down and take a look.
The question it makes me wonder, is if there is a valid strategy in being the 'worst'? And if there is, how do we make sure we qualify? And if we qualify, how do we then transform?
Love or or hate her, right now Rebecca has 100% share of voice.What that turns into is entirely up to her.
Winklevoss syndrome
You may have heard of the Winklevoss Brothers. They're two of the luckiest people on the planet. They received a reported $65 million in a settlement from Facebook for essentially having an 'idea stolen'. Latest reports are that they unhappy with the settlement terms because Facebook has recently been valued as high as $50 billion.I'm calling it Winklevoss Syndrome.
Winklevoss Syndrome = the false belief that an idea is ownable and that the real value of a business is strongly linked to the idea. People who suffer from this syndrome believe that they have some kind of ownership rights to something because they thought of it.
Although Mark Zuckerberg may have taken their idea, but he's the one who built, it, funded it, promoted it, resourced it and expanded it. I'll go as far as saying that the Winklevoss brothers are delusional if they believe they had anything to do with the success of Facebook. The idea of a social network has nothing to do with the act of building and populating a social network. Ideas in isolation have no value, ideas once executed 'may' have value. It's also worth remembering that every idea that any number of people could or did have, would always be executed very differently. I think the Winklevoss brothers are the luckiest entrepreneurs on the face of the planet. They received a $65 million dollar gift for an idea and some unfinished pieces of code. They got very lucky they ever met Zuckerberg.
Every fresh idea usually has thousands of entrepreneurs around the world toying with it or building it. Simply because they have foundations in common trends, insight and technology evolution. So next time you see your 'idea', being brought to life, remind yourself that you didn't 'do' anything about it. And then resist the temptation to suffer from Winklevoss Syndrome. Instead we should go and build something and see how limited the value of the original idea is.
Old Spice: Campaign of the decade?
Everyone loves the Old Spice campaign, how can you not, he's on a horse! But the reasons why it is so great are probably more important than how great it really is. For anyone who has been living under a rock, the original advertisement deservedly won the Gold Lion at Cannes this year. You can watch it below:
I think we can all agree it is brilliant. The reasons are many and include the fact that the only promise is what the product will actually deliver, it pokes fun at the category norms and general communication, yet the humour and idea is inextricably linked to the product. In addition it's one of the few product types where a global message can actually work. In general most global campaigns are obviously made for multiple markets and banal as a result. This was an exception.
The next iteration of the campaign is what put into the consideration set for campaign of the decade. The lead character in the advertising campaign AKA the 'old spice man' had a voice and tone which was was unique. He didn't cannibalize the brand idea, just extend it and give it strength. The actor playing the role Isaiah Mustafa personified the brand, to the point where he could almost say anything and it would work. Knowing this the brand team and advertising agency decided to embark on a semi-live advertising campaign featuring his monologues. It involved setting up studio for a two-day session creating a series of humorous, personalized YouTube videos, with Mustafa reprising the character from the original Old Spice commercial. These were directed at members of the public and celebrities, who had asked him questions on websites such as Reddit, Facebook and Twitter.
It was so slick, so entertaining and brand extending it took a lot of convincing before I believed they were shooting it live. I even tweeted that there was no way this could be live. Just too slick. I was wrong and stoked to be wrong. What they did was set up a studio with Mustafa some props and the copy writers from the agency and they pumped out a TVC every 11 minutes, answering questions posed by key influencers on a few core social networks. Extreme trust by the brand owner Proctor & Gamble was given, which is a massive hat tip to such a large organisation embracing chaos, opportunity and potential risk. Let's hope that other equally conservative brand stewards take the lead from P & G and let set boundaries instead of requiring approval. You can read more about how they did it here.
The proof of the success goes beyond eyeballs. Of which they generated plenty, in fact the dominance they had over the Youtube most watched page is something I've never seen in the 5 years Youtube has been around. They did have well over 110 million views of various executions.
But far more importantly Old Spice has doubled it's sales since the campaign hit the web. Up 107% currently (Nielsen) though I'm not sure if much coupon or price activity is behind it, you'd have to say the campaign was the biggest driver in a category that has growth below 10% per annum.
What does this all mean?
If any old world marketers have any doubt about the power of the web as a tool should stop and consider for a few moments what has just happened here. It also tells us that old media and new media are clearly 'better together'. And lastly, brands who want to get the best results have to let go, forget about control and understand that moderating a message will only ever dilute the results.
Media Exponential
The speed at which media consumption has grown is mind boggling. So I thought I'd pull together a little info graphic titled Media Exponential using my Artline 725. Makes you wonder what's next? Answer = what we create.
Google overtaken by Facebook? Not really.
It's all over the news that Facebook has overtaken Google in terms of traffic in the USA.
But make no mistake, Google has not been overtaken by Facebook. Facebook is a long way off Google as far as commercial success is concerned. The importance difference, which isn't about to change anytime soon is this:
People do business with Google.
People socialize on Facebook.
And just like any party, they tend to fizzle out. This seemingly small difference has a dramatic impact on their futures. My analogy is that of a fun park versus CBD. Facebook is being touted as the final platform, the social network to beat all social networks. And yes, it still has some laughable valuations ($100 billion) .
The reality is that numbers can be very deceiving, and when looked at arbitrarily like this, and I'm still certain the value of each Facebook visitor is marginal compared to that of Google. The question I asked myself is this: Could I live without Facebook? Yes. Could I live without Google? No. I'm not about to predict the future, but I want to leave startup blog readers with a reminder that statistics only have value when they are placed in context.
The deception of history
Reading about Craigs list the other day I started thinking about business history and strategy. As entrepreneurs we often get fooled by the deception of history. And it's easy to see why. All the business books and articles we read on success are based on what someone or some company we respect did. The problem with this is that the world lives in a state of flux, and what worked then, most certainly wont work now. This is where the Craig's list example comes to the fore.
Would a 3 color page of hyperlinks which looks like the internet did in 1994 work today? Highly unlikely. Craigslist works now, because it worked well then. It had things working in it's favour like the 'in crowd' in the Bay area spreading the word. That it was first to market with an on-line classified. Now these legacy issues become a strategic proposition which is worth maintaining. What it doesn't mean is that it's a strategic template worth copying for Startup X. It's also less likely we'll get the support needed from the web community or the investors needed.
The same can be said for pretty much any startup with an interesting history.
A social networking site which is set up for alumni of an Ivy League University probably wouldn't work.
A trading website where auctions are used to develop the perfect market place probably wouldn't work.
An on-line retailer which aims to sell every book available in the world probably wouldn't work.
As entrepreneurs, what we are better off understanding is the insights into why things worked, and try and leverage human behavior in developing a strategic direction to launch our business.
Social media – Numbers are irrelevant
I saw this little 1 minute video from Seth Godin (Who I used to worship, and now just 'like') and had to post it here. Be sure to read my comments below the video.
Why the numbers are irrelevant to me….
- My blog has few promotional elements on it (they'll find me if I deserve it)
- I only follow people on twitter I know. I want a conversation. Mind you if you @sammartino at some point I will follow you…. yes I'm interested in conversation.
- Quantity loses to quality every time. Scores are misleading. Numbers are pointless.
- Yes you can meet people on line and then create strong physical friendships. I have many times.
In summary I'd say this. If it doesn't make sense in the real world (physical life) then there's a good chance it doesn't make sense on line. In 'real life', that is our off line life we think of our friendships and even business contacts in terms of quality. We don't go around trying to make 1000 friends and wear a t-shirt that says 'I have 1000 friends'. Rather, we prefer to have strong meaningful relationships which are one on one. Where both parties benefit. We don't have a list in spread sheet with the people we've met. Sounds ridiculous doesn't it?
Startups should be using social media to build relationships – not gathering numbers.
From now on I've changed my twitter link below on my blog posts. Can you see the change?

Zero Cost Advertising & Social Media
I've blogged before many times about how to generate brand awareness with limited or zero budget. The list of tools available is pretty long actually. No need to list them here – you know what they are. But to use them effectively takes two important ingredients:
Ingredient No 1: Frequency
If we think are are going to start a brand blog, a youtube channel, twitter account and all our communication problems will be solved over night, then we have really not understood what has happened with social media. If I was to summarize it it succinctly. I'd say – we've gone from a 'produced' world to an 'organic' world. The produced world took large capital investments. The organic world is free, but not everything grows, and those that do take time. It's a lot like nature, free but time & frequency of events is the asset.
The more often we return to our crop and nurture it, the healthier the return we'll get. Occasionally something will just click. We only have to do something 'once' and it will grow astoundingly with little input other than the raw ingredients. The market will take get hold of the communication and we'll crack it – it'll go viral. This is the anomaly – it happens so rarely, that we know about it every time. Best advice is to assume it wont happen to us.
Ingredient No 2: Patience
We don't have to buy the communication asset. They're here, we have been given them, but we have to work them. We need to allow time for our compound effort to accumulate. Be patient and trust that our continual effort and focus on frequency, will work in the long run.
Patience has something on its side that the old media world didn't – digital foot prints. Our stuff stays on line forever. So when a passionate web surfer finds one of our things they like – they can do a back catalog on our stuff. This is when things can work, even months after launch date. A TV ad on the other hand has one shot at the eyeballs. If it's missed by the target market, it's all too late.
No doubt, we need to build great stuff for people to care, but in the new world of zero cost communications, Startups can can get it wrong and learn as we go.

No idea how long ago I made the initial SEO Services post and when or why I redirected it but I thought I might as well break all the redirects and set the post back up again with todays date.

A landlocked Dwarven city
Honeydew (formerly)
First Appearance:
Last Appearance:
Stoneholm is a location in Minecraftia, referred to by Spacker LeChuck, as a location where one of the pieces of Verigan's Map was located. It is the city of the Dwarves, like Spacker and Honeydew. This matches Swampy Bogbeard's descriptions of the map piece locations, as one of the pieces was said to be "deep under bedrock" with "beards" around it. There used to be a path to it from Mistral City, but since the city is now forest, and the path goes over what was once a minefield, getting to it is difficult. The path also passes by a strange cliff with a face carved into it, along with a forest full of red, pink, and violet colored leaves, which seems to be linked with Skylord Jasper's Retreat. The path past this was closed due to creeper attacks, and Skylord Jasper seems to have been involved with the road servicing and/or the road being closed.
After helping our heroes free Skylord Lysander, Spacker decide to make his way to Stoneholm, with the help of a map from Skylord Lysander, telling our heroes that he'd meet them there after they finished with their business with the Skylords. In the time Spacker had been gone, King Finbar and Guard Captain Kormag Darkforge have gone over to The Cult of Israphel, sealing off the city because of a 'plague', despite dwarves being immune to plague. They zombified many dwarves, with few escaping this fate. Finbar seemed to gain a mysterious power from each zombie he created, which he transfered through a Hellgate. After being turn away at the city gates by Kormag, Spacker, followed by Xephos and Honeydew, infiltrates the city through a skylight, finding their way to some of the last dwarves in the city: Rory Rockhammer, Spacker's nephew, and Moira Magmabloom, a female friend of his. Rory leads them to a back room, where the others hide while he meets with Finbar to discuss the obsidian Rory had been refining. As a "reward", Rory is turned into a zombie. Finbar then leaves, telling Kormag to torture a prisoner. After watching Kormag depart for the dungeons, Moira suggests the group attack Kormag, which the others agree to do. After realizing the prisoner was their old friend Knight Peculier, they assault Kormag, with Moira finishing him with her bow. It seems that a section of the city, the Deepcore, was sealed around the time Verigan Antioch asked the dwarves to help him with the Wall, and may hold clues to how the Wall was breached. Moira tells the heroes as they travel of how the dwarves were changed. After a strange, pale man began lurking around, dwarves disappeared, and the King sickened, then died. The King then rose from the dead, gaining dark powers, and began zombifying the other dwarves by the command of his new master.
Key Points Edit
- Deepcore Ruins
- Cold Store
- Magmabloom Armory
- Darkforge Distillery
- Prison
- King's Chugger Inn
Appearances Edit
- During a Mod Review Video on the Airship Mod Lewis accidentally flew over Stoneholm and tried to divert attention by saying: "Oh god...Err...um that's nothing." Simon then said: "Just ignore that down there...don't... er...that's not Stoneholm or something...nothing, no nothing there!"
- In Shadow of Israphel episodes:
- In the sixth YogLabs episode (Ferullos Guns Mod - Taking Back YogLabs), Simon was killed and respawned outside what looks like Stoneholm. It is currently unknown whether the YogLabs server is also the Shadow of Israphel server, or whether it was re-built/copied onto the YogLabs server.
- 'Stoneholm' may be a play-on-words of the Swedish captial 'Stockholm'
- In the World of Warcraft universe there is a land inhabited by stone dwarves named Deepholm, within Deepholm there is a dungeon named the Stonecore. In the Yogscast the place is Stoneholm and within it is a dungeon like area named the Deepcore. The prefix words seem to be switched around. When Simon first hears of Stoneholm he says "Where have I heard that name before?"
- Using an X-ray pack on the museum server, one can see that there are enourmous underground caverns beneath Stoneholm which are connected to it and are presumably part of some sort of quest for the map fragment. A possible prototype of the Spire can also be seen underground and a building at the bottom containing signs belonging to a L. Wilson, who is possibly a Cultist. It is also possible that L. Wilson is Israphel under an assumed name.
- In Stoneholm, Diggy Diggy Hole is banned.
|Locations of Shadow of Israphel
| Cities/Towns: Mistral City, Terrorvale, BBQ Bay, Stoneholm
Castles/Fortresses: Verigan's Hold, Skyhold
Tombs: The Tomb of Lehparsi, Tomb of the Templar Kings
Facilities: Facility 4

firm was established in lower Manhattan in 1909 by a trio of
Harvard Law graduates. LeBoeuf, Lamb, Greene & MacRae was a
prominent firm that began in New York in 1929.
The 2007 merger represented a union of equals that combined
Dewey's M&A prowess with LeBoeuf's litigation, energy and
insurance expertise; and it has proven successful, as Dewey &

Despite undergoing the kind of forced attrition and job losses
experienced by many big firms, Dewey & LeBoeuf made it through
the dark days of the early 21st century and continues to extend its
international reach and standing among the top global firms. In

for more than two decades. The firm also has a strong Asia
practice, with offices in Beijing and Hong Kong, as well as an
active Japanese client base. Next stop is Latin America, where
plans are already underway to open an office in Brazil. The firm's
ambitious expansion strategy has earned it a top-10 ranking on
Law360's first-annual Global 20 list.
Reflecting its historic industry focus, Dewey & LeBoeuf is a
powerhouse in both the energy and insurance industries. The firm
has also established a leading technology practice and a reputation
in the renewable and clean energy sector, where it has advised on
ground-breaking wind, solar, biodiesel, geothermal and
hydroelectric projects. Dewey & LeBoeuf has been climbing up
the M&A rankings in league tables produced by organisations
such as Thomson Reuters, mergermerket and SNL Financial,
where it now ranks among the top 10 firms in more than a dozen
Dewey & LeBoeuf's London office houses approximately 125
lawyers. The office offers a full-service English law practice,
together with capabilities in US law and lawyers qualified in more
than 15 other jurisdictions. The office also serves as the hub for
the firm's offices across Europe and the Middle East. The UK
presence boasts strong transactional and litigation practices, with
skills in sectors like financial services, insurance, oil and gas,
utilities, infrastructure, consumer goods, transportation and
technology. Corporate lawyers handle capital markets, M&A,
private equity, project finance and institutional bank lending, and
structured finance, with a heavy load of cross-border work. Other
work includes tax, employment, competition, environmental law and
real estate.
In June 2011, online auction giant eBay, a long-time Dewey &
LeBoeuf client, acquired ecommerce/interactive marketing company
GSI Commerce for $2.4 billion; the transaction represents eBay's
second-largest acquisition. Other matters the firm has handled for
eBay include its acquisition of Gitti Gidiyor Bilgi Teknolojileri
Sanayi ve Ticaret Anonim Sirketi, Turkey's largest online
marketplace; the $200 million purchase of brands4friends, an online
fashion shopping company based in Germany; the $1.9 billion sale of
eBay's 65 percent stake in Skype; and the acquisition of mobile app
developer Critical Path Software.
Dewey & LeBoeuf has been busy in one of its best-known areas
of expertise: the energy sector. In April 2011, the firm helped
ONGC Videsh Ltd, the international projects arm of India's national
oil & gas company, conclude an agreement with Kazakhstan's
national oil and gas company, KazMunayGas, to develop oil reserves
in the Kazakhstan sector of the Caspian Sea. The strategic
partnership, which follows more than four years of negotiations,
will give India access to much-needed energy resources.
As the Russian legal market and Eastern Europe continue to offer
opportunities for foreign firms, Dewey's London office has emerged
as the hot spot for Russian and CIS companies that want to go
public, and its capital markets practices mushroomed under the IPO
crush. In April 2011, capital markets lawyers in the firm's London
office advised the republic of Georgia on the issuance of $500
million in notes to fund its public debt. This is the second time
Dewey & LeBoeuf has advised Georgia on a Eurobond issuance.
Dewey & LeBoeuf recently advised Austria's Raiffeisen Bank
International on its €490 million acquisition of a controlling
stake in Polbank, a Polish retail banking branch of Greek bank EFG
Eurobank Ergasias. The deal is subject to a number of complex
regulatory requirements under which Polbank is being reorganized as
a stand-alone bank.
And in April 2011, the firm's Warsaw office represented Cyfrowy
Polsat, Poland's biggest satellite company, in the acquisition of
Telewizja Polsat, one of the largest Polish private TV
broadcasters, for approximately EUR 1 billion-the Polish media
industry's largest-ever M&A deal.
Also on the media front, a team of Dewey lawyers in London and
Moscow advised VTB Capital, the investment arm of Russian
state-owned VTB Bank, on the RUB 6.5 billion financing in
connection with its acquisition of a 79 per cent stake in News
Outdoor Russia from Rupert Murdoch's News Corp in July 2011. The
firm had previously represented Central European Media Enterprises
(CME) in its 2010 deal to purchase Bulgarian bTV for $400 million
from News Corp.

Vienna The UNHCR is hoping for Austria's help in a "resettlement program" to cope with huge streams of refugees from Libya to neighbouring states, and resettle them permanently in third countries, said a senior official visiting Vienna.
So far Austria had not offered cooperation, said head of international legal protection of the Geneva-based UNHCR, Volker Tuerk, in a lecture at the Austrian Society for Foreign Policy and the United Nations. In the case of people formerly working in Libya, 4,000 "resettlement" places were still needed.
"Due to the very exceptional situation in North Africa (civil war in Libya), we had hoped that there would be very strong signals of solidarity, above all on the past of the European countries."
With some countries, the UNHCR was "to a certain extent disappointed". Some had not even answered the "Global Resettlement Initiative" to find permanent places for particularly vulnerable refugees.
Others, including Norway, Sweden, Australia, the US, Belgium, Spain and Portugal, had reacted "very positively" and offered concrete places.
At present, there were several thousand refugees in a UNHCR camp in the Libyan-Tunisian border area. They were mostly from Somalia, Sudan, Eritrea and Kenya, who due to the crisis could no longer find work.
At present individual cases were being examined so they could then be presented to the European states "in the hope that they wil be accepted".

All-new Jaguar sports car confirmedComment on this story
Jaguar has confirmed that it will introduce an all-new sports car - the F-Type - in mid-2013.
Speaking at the New York auto show global brand director Adrian Hallmark said: "The reaction to the C-X16 concept has been so positive that we've accelerated the development of our new sports car. It'll be called the F-Type and will be shown in production form later this year."
The new two-seater uses Jaguar's proven all-aluminium construction, and will be launched as a convertible, with a range of petrol engines - including a completely new engine family - and Hallmark has promised "stunning sports-car performance".
He mentioned that the development mules had left the Jaguar skunk works at Castle Bromwich - which is also where the production cars will be built - for final road testing on Tuesday.
Vehicle line director Ian Hoban said: "We're focusing on dynamic driving; we're excited about progress so far and looking forward to showing the world what we've achieved."
Design director Ian Callum added: "A true sports car needs to be pure in both its purpose and its form; it's been a privilege to produce such a car for Jaguar. The C-Type, D-Type and E-Type held to this principle in their day, as will the F-Type in its time."
The F-Type will join Jaguar's existing range of cars - the XF sedan and Sportbrake, XJ sedan and XK coupé/convertible. Full technical details will be announced later in 2012 and it will go on sale in mid-2013.

Thomas Washington
Thomas Washington—born on 6 June 1865 at Goldsboro, N.C.—was appointed to the Naval Academy on 17 May 1883. He graduated on 10 June 1887 and, after the required two years of sea duty during which he served on the European Station in Enterprise and Lancaster, was commissioned ensign in 1889. Over the ensuing three years, he served at sea—first in Alliance and then in Endeavor—until he was assigned to the office of the Navy's Judge Advocate General in 1892. Subsequently, after duty on several trial boards for general courts martial at the Norfolk and Washington Navy Yards, he was assigned to a succession of ships— Montgomery, Terror, and Patterson—before joining battleship Indiana in early 1898. He was in this ship when she helped to defeat the Spanish Fleet under Admiral Cervera on 3 July 1898 in the battle of Santiago.
After a second tour of duty ashore in the office of the Judge Advocate General, Washington served on the General Board. Ordered thence to the Asiatic Station, he joined the staff of Rear Admiral Robley D. "Fighting Bob" Evans, the Commander-in-Chief, Asiatic Fleet, on 29 October 1902. Quartered in battleship Illinois, the Asiatic Fleet's flagship, he remained on Evans" staff until detached on 1 June 1904.
Special duty at the Bureau of Navigation followed his return from the Orient and preceded his assuming command of dispatch boat Dolphin, the vessel which was then serving as the Secretary of the Navy's yacht. Washington next put in another tour with the Bureau of Navigation for duty before returning to sea in 1912 to command, in turn, gunboat Yorktown and cruisers Charleston and Denver over the next two years.
On 20 April 1914, Washington—by then a captain— assumed the duties of Hydrographer of the Navy. World War I broke out in Europe less than four months after Washington assumed the Hydrographer's duties, depriving the United States of its external sources of oceanographic and hydrographic information. Washington and his small staff responded by independently gathering the necessary data for use by the United States Navy and Merchant Marine.
Relieved as hydrographer on 23 June 1916, Washington was given command of battleship Florida. A few months after the United States entered the war in the spring of 1917, Florida crossed the Atlantic to operate with the British Grand Fleet. The manner in which he carried out this assignment won Washington the Distinguished Service Medal for "exceptionally meritorious service in a duty of great responsibility." Eleven days after the Armistice—on 22 November 1918—he assumed command of Flagship Division 3, Battleship Force 1, Atlantic Fleet, flying his "flag" alternately in yachts Aramis and Nokomis. He subsequently commanded Divisions 2 and 4, successively, of the Atlantic Fleet. Detached from this duty on 9 August, he assumed the post of Chief of the Bureau of Navigation on 11 August, with the accompanying rank of rear admiral.
Less than a year later, Washington received orders to duty as Commander in Chief, Asiatic Fleet (CINCAF). He broke his flag in armored cruiser Huron on 11 October 1923 and commanded the Fleet until 14 October 1925. During his tour, the Asiatic Fleet provided support for the United States Army's round-the-world flight in the spring of 1924. Operating from the Kurils to Calcutta, the destroyer squadrons of the Fleet sailed on plane-guard stations, transported supplies and spare parts, and provided radio bearings and communications services for the planes, and thus contributed greatly to the success of the flight.
Relieved as CINCAF on 14 October 1925, Washington became Commandant of the Naval Operating Base, San Francisco, Calif., on 19 November 1925, and filled the billet until his retirement on 6 June 1929. Advanced on the retired list to the full rank of admiral on 16 July 1942, Washington died on 15 December 1954 at the Bethesda Naval Hospital, Bethesda, Md.
(AGOR-10: dp. 1,380 (f.); 1. 208'9"; b. 37'4'; dr. 15'3"; s. 13.5 k.; cpl. 41; cl. Robert D. Conrad)
Thomas Washington (AGOR-10) was laid down on 12 September 1963 at Marinette, Wis., by the Marinette Marine Corp.; launched on 1 August 1964; sponsored jointly by Misses Barbara E. and Ann H. Washington, granddaughters of Admiral Washington; and delivered to the Navy on 17 September 1965.
Transferred to the Scripps Institute of Oceanography, of the University of California, soon thereafter, Thomas Washington operates under the control of the Oceanographer of the Navy, with a civilian crew, conducting research experiments in support of the national oceanographic programs of the United States into 1978.
