Come out to demand "No Layoffs!" at the world's richest university
The Boston Anti-Authoritarian Movement is calling on our friends and comrades to join us at the rally for Harvard Workers, March 25, 5pm at the Holyoke Center, a Harvard Administration Building (1350 Mass. Ave, next to Au Bon Pain, steps from the Harvard T). This action is a part of an ongoing No Layoffs Campaign launched this summer, organized by various militant members of the Harvard unions. Anarchists have participated in the No Layoffs Campaign since the beginning, and have a good relationship with the campaign's organizers, who have asked us to come out in full force, and to bring out our colors.
Calling all Anti-Authoritarians and Anarchists:

Days After Settlement, Pickets Return to Insomnia Cookies 20:08 Sun 16 Mar 0 comments
Picket lines have returned to Insomnia Cookies, less than two weeks after the company settled with four workers who struck in August of 2013. On Friday March 14, two dozen union members and supporters rallied in front of the Boston location of Insomnia Cookies, demanding the reinstatement with back pay of union organizer and bicycle delivery driver, Tasia Edmonds. On March 9 the company suspended Edmonds without pay for a month, alleging insubordination, while the union maintains she was disciplined for her union-building efforts.

Sharing the pains, indignities and anger Mar 10 1 comments
This is an interesting interview with our comrade Miriam (M1 Detroit) on her history of Industrialization with her organization at the time the Revolutionary Socialist League. Industrialization was the term that the Left used to describe the strategy of getting mainly University and counter-culture youth activists to commit to point-of-production organizing in factories as part of the working-class. It was different than what is today known as salting as Industrialization was not usually seen as a short-term stint around a specific campaign, but rather a long-term commitment to building a revolutionary presence in the class.

It has been over a month since the Ontario Federation of Labour (OFL) held their one-day protest of the provincial Liberal Party leadership convention, mobilizing some 15,000 people on the streets of Toronto and then sending them all home again around 4:00 PM. The protest was part of the trade union response to Bill 115, which enabled the provincial government to circumvent collective bargaining and mandate the terms of new collective agreements.

Moving to Action Sep 07 0 comments
When a revolutionary begins organizing in a shop, the first step is typically to agitate one's coworkers. In our minds we see a step-by-step process wherein our agitation leads to other opportunities, recruitment, committee building, until we have power and an organization. The problem is that for most workplaces, this way of thinking gives the wrong impression. In some workplaces, particularly in production, there's a state of constant agitation and actions burst out before committees ever get built. In other workplaces agitation just never seems to take hold. What do we do in these situations? What do we do when agitation takes years without much visible result, or in places where workers are clearly in the retreat or a passive state?more >>

Are there doctors on duty in the ER?
- 7Apr 13, '12 by ~*Stargazer*~Non medically fragile adult woman in her mid forties with mother and grandmother in tow, c/o nausea and body aches x5 days. Previously diagnosed with "the flu or something" (actually viral gastroenteritis, according to the paperwork Mom showed me) at Urgent Care.
Whining "My head hurts, my stomach hurts, I feel so bad. They just sent me home and told me to take Tylenol (the word Tylenol said as if it were the most ridiculous thing she's ever heard)."
It's a busy day, I know it's going to be a long wait for her, so I go ahead and start a line, draw labs, hang a liter. No, I'm not going to go pester a busy doctor for pain and nausea protocols. She can wait.
I pop in every once in a while to check in, recheck vitals, etc.
Grandma asks, in all seriousness "Are there any doctors on duty in the ER?"
Me: "Yes, there are four on right now."
Grandma: "Well, where are they?"
Me, politely and with a smile: "Working. There are a lot of sick people here today, and the doctors are working really hard. It's actually a good thing when you don't have doctors hovering over you. It means you're not the sickest person here. The sickest people here in the Emergency Department are usually people who are actively dying."
It felt. so. good.
Am I bad?
I didn't tell her that they were getting ready to extubate someone over in the next hallway, who would most likely die.
I think I may have been making up a little for yesterday's episode, when a dental pain kept coming out into the hallway to ask what the holdup was. We had just received an infant Code 3 who didn't make it. They had worked on the infant for a long time, and every time I walked anywhere near the room, I could hear the mother's sobs. I just couldn't even look at the dental pain guy without feeling very angry. The best I could muster was to tell him "The doctors see patients according to how sick they are, and we've had a lot of sick people today", with only the most superficial attempt at politeness.
Dental pain ended up leaving very happy, after his nerve block and a take home pack of Vicodin.
Sigh.Last edit by ~*Stargazer*~ on Apr 13, '12
- 1Apr 13, '12 by SHGR, BSN, RNPeople just want magic...to instantly feel better. Honestly, the hardest part of my job in primary care, is convincing sick people to go to the ER, and trying to convince not-very-sick or just plain uncomfortable people, to stay OUT of the ER.
I phone-triaged a lady this week that I thought was having a stroke (she did, too!) and I could not convince her to call an ambulance. I offered to call it for her. She wanted to come to the clinic. I said, if you come here, we will just send you to the ER.
I think the barrier is, they have so many times gone to the ER and waited, with their earaches and sore throats, and know that this new thing, this thing happening now, can't wait, so they think they will wait that long this time (following me here? ).
So frustrating...
- 4Apr 13, '12 by ~*Stargazer*~Oh, I really don't mind taking care of not-very-sick people, in fact I really like working the Fast Track area. Generally, they're a quick, easy fix and leave happy. With the gastroenteritis lady, I did a ton of education on viral illnesses, how they have to run their course, that the duration is often 7-10 days, what kinds of comfort measures she could use at home, and what kinds of things would signify a serious complication that would require an ED visit. She left feeling much improved after a couple of liters and some Zofran (she didn't get any narcs).
No, it's not the people who don't need to be there that get to me. It's the lack of understanding that we see people according to acuity, not first come first serve, and that if you're waiting, it's because someone else CAN'T wait.
It's that we are witness to horrific pain, tragedy, and grief, and have to just stuff it down and keep going. Trying to dredge up an empathetic presence for someone who is NOT ill, who is being impatient, after just having been witness to something awful is really, really hard sometimes.
But, I still do it. I stuff it all down and treat everyone as nicely as I can muster, then go home and have a really good cry.
- 11Apr 14, '12 by shoegalRNI hate it when we are coding someone, or have a trauma going on that has taken a turn for the worse, and all the other pts SEE the doctors and nurses running towards a certain room and this is the time they want to ACT OUT!
And granted, they have been waiting patiently for the last 4+ hours without any complaint, but the moment the attention is not on them, they want to loudly complain about the wait.
I had a pt come in because her toenail was about to fall off, not her toe being broken, or her foot being broken, her freaking toenail was ABOUT to fall off and we were coding someone at the time. When I finally got to her room, I apologized for the delay, explained that I was tied up with a very deathly ill patient and the doctor will be in shortly. Her 20 something daughter had the nerves to say "there is not any other doctors in the ER? Everybody HAS to work on that one person". I looked at her in the eye and said "yes, that patient is actively dying right now. Their family is outside the room and is not doing well right now, your mother is here for a broken toenail, God forbid if your mother was deathly ill, you would WANT all of us to work on her and save her, right? And how would you feel if another family would be questioning our decision because they had to wait to be seen for a broken toenail, but yet, still breathing, walking and talking? You wouldnt like that now, would you?"
She then tried to attempt to argue why her mother was more critical than the dying patient. I told her I'm not gonna argue with her and politely had security escort her out the hospital.
I am waiting for the day that a family member of a trauma/coding pt hears another patient complaining about the wait and then says something like "it takes everybody to work on that one patient" and that family member punches them.
- 17Apr 14, '12 by Altra GuideQuote from shoegalRNGod, I hope I'm working that day.I am waiting for the day that a family member of a trauma/coding pt hears another patient complaining about the wait and then says something like "it takes everybody to work on that one patient" and that family member punches them.
- 7Apr 14, '12 by shoegalRNQuote from AltraIt almost happened one day, our security responded before blows were thrown.God, I hope I'm working that day.
We had an elderly woman, brought in by daughter and granddaughter in SVT. Of course, everyone is in that room, daughter is outside of room crying.
Someone who was in the ER for a med refill wanted to know what the hold up was. Another RN was attempting to explain we are dealing with someone critical right now, of course, this other pt can see what's going on, crash cart moving fast towards room, double doors opened, all staff mostly in this room. Well, the med refill patient says something along the lines of "well I been waiting for over 8 hours, I need a doctor in here now!" The RN then just up and leaves because someone is calling out for Adenosine, so this patient becomes upset saying "why does it take everybody to work on one person".
So, you guessed it, daughter came from out of nowhere, giving him a good verbal lashing. Someone hit the panic button and security was called and med refill patient was escorted out.
I wish she would have swung though LOL!
- 5Apr 14, '12 by VICEDRNQuote from shoegalRNIf I am NOT on shift that day, you guys need to make video for me, ok?I am waiting for the day that a family member of a trauma/coding pt hears another patient complaining about the wait and then says something like "it takes everybody to work on that one patient" and that family member punches them.
Makes me feel better to know that both the actively dying patient and the delusional walk in urgent care people exist in everyone's ER.
Like Stargazer, I derive a pleasure out of telling patients we see the most critical patients first and at a level I trauma, its gotta be gooood. lol
- 2Apr 14, '12 by dirtyhippiegirlI haven't worked in the ER for years but was chatting the other day with some old friends, etc. They updated the ER about six years ago to a huge, football field sized area with individual rooms. Before that, it was a smaller area with only two isolation rooms -- everything else was done in four large bays that held X amount of pts. The EMS entry and trauma bays were later add-ons that actually connected with the waiting room. Meaning that anyone in the waiting room got a full view of all ambulance entrances, plus the usual hustle that accompanies trauma patients.
We definitely agreed that the old "does anyone work here?" bs was definitely minimized with the second scenario.
- 0Apr 14, '12 by ~*Stargazer*~I guess it shouldn't surprise me that people who go to the Emergency Department for things that aren't critical don't realize that they're going to have to wait, but it does. I mean it doesn't take a whole lot of brains to realize that.
Funny little addendum to the first scenario, after the doc went in and saw her, Grandma asked me if we were going to admit her.
- 1Apr 14, '12 by SHGR, BSN, RNQuote from ~*Stargazer*~The definition of ED to some people is the "alleviate my discomfort now" department.I guess it shouldn't surprise me that people who go to the Emergency Department for things that aren't critical don't realize that they're going to have to wait, but it does.
We had a young guy who, after being noncompliant with his BP meds, went to the ED...the ED report basically read, he was kicking back with his buddies and then his hands felt tight. So he went to the ED to have his BP checked. He didn't follow up with us after that, either. (??) I'm sort of in charge of corralling people and trying to get them to follow up. With us. You know, the primary care people.

Gov. Pat Quinn visits Robbins to push park funding initiative
By Jessie Molloy Correspondent August 30, 2014 5:42PM
Gov. Pat Quinn
Updated: October 1, 2014 6:52AM
Gov. Pat Quinn visited the Robbins Park District on Saturday as part of a series of stops announcing a new plan to invest $14.4 million in south suburban parks.
"Investments in park development and recreation are investments in the health, well being and future of the people in these communities," Quinn told the spectators outside the small Park District office on Claire Boulevard.
Robbins' share of the allotted funds is $135,000, to improve the village's existing parks and to demolish and demolish and clear hazardous buildings from two properties recently purchased by the park district.
According to Quinn's spokesperson Katie Hickey, in order to get the funds, Robbins and the six other suburbs receiving this grant had to apply to the state and "demonstrate need for assistance to improve their facilities."
Among the attendees were the Robbins Park District board, Robbins Mayor Tyrone Ward Sr. and State Sen. Napoleon Harris, D-Floosmoor, who had advocated for the program.
"I appreciate the Parks Department and the governor for what they're doing here," Harris said. "It's great knowing they're working to help the children in our community and helping share strong values with them."
Harris grew up in Dixmoor and participated in youth sports before playing football for Northwestern University. After college, Harris was drafted by the Oakland Raiders and played in the NFL for seven seasons.
"The governor has been very good to the Village of Robbins and the state of Illinois," Ward said.
The money for the project are part of a $50 million fund through the Parks and Recreational Facility Construction program, funded by the Quinn's $31 billion Illinois Jobs Now! initiative.
In addition to Robbins, money from the grant will go to six other entities, including the Calumet Memorial Park District, which will receive $2.1 million to expand the Sandridge Community Center on Oglesby Avenue. A new recreation facility will be completed off Paulina Street in Dixmoor for $1.1 million. Dolton will receive $2 million to expand and renovate the Main Field House on Irving Avenue.
Evergreen Park's 50 Acre Park will get $500,000 worth of new work for trails and playground equipment. Markham is getting $999,989 to construct a new indoor track and gymnastics facility at 162nd and Laflin.
Phoenix will receive $900,000 to build a new indoor fieldhouse and sports facility at East 151st Street and 3rd Avenue.
The $14 million plan also includes $2.9 million in funding to Chicago's 8th Ward to enlarge sewers along Ridgeland and Drexel avenues, and an additional $200,000 for sewer and street repairs in Evergreen Park.
"Our parks are a good investment in our future. That's what this is all about," Quinn said. "It's so important for our students to be active and for them to have adults around them as mentors and that's what these programs allow."

High-end fashion designers collaborating with mall brands wasn't new in 2012, but it definitely made a big impact on menswear this year—the Gaps, the Targets, the H&Ms went all GQ, Odin and Margiela on the average consumer in the past year.
In 2013, we expect even more high-low collaborations. And since we're essentially menswear soothsayers, we decided to let you know what to look forward to.
Without further ado, Kempt's predictions for the big menswear collaborations of 2013.»
|ALL What's What
Now that the weather's warming up, we'd like to direct your attention to one of the most overlooked items in your spring/summer arsenal: the cotton sweater. It's an airier version of the wool and cashmere pullovers in your closet, and perfect for those couple weeks in mid-March when the summer sun butts up against the last gusts of winter. These will fare well against both.
|ALL Big Picture
Whether you're wearing it or designing it, a velvet DB is a splashy way to make an entrance.
This one comes from Ramdane Touhami, who launched his eponymous label with a New York shop earlier this week. (Even splashier, the DB in question comes in under $400.) The rest of the stock is every bit as whimsical, with bright corduroys and over-buttoned coats filling up the stripped-down shop. Anyone looking for a more accessible twist on Band of Outsiders just hit the jackpot.
Touhami has been kicking around Europe for a while—collaborating with Marc Jacobs, making millions in the candle business; that sort of thing—but this is his first full-scale apparel brand in years. Judging by the early gear, it's going to be quite a show.

Yoox can be a crap shoot.
The Italian sale site is roughly a T.J. Maxx for the Dolce & Gabbana set, which means it's the best place in the world to find an Etro suit for $325. But alongside it you'll find the worst examples of Bruno-esque Euro excess. (Also, for some reason, a Budweiser hat.) So naturally, it helps if you've got a native guide.
This weekend, they're holding their semi-annual sample sale (it finishes up on Monday), so we thought we'd take the opportunity to guide you through some of the best finds.
Last night saw a pretty serious menswear face-off on in the midst of Paris Fashion Week, hosted by GrandLife and the Burkman Brothers and boasting an impressive number of leather jackets in attendance. Our favorite was found on Anthony Landerau, the director of European sales for Marc Jacobs and a man who knows his way around an accessory.
The main event here is the low-key bowtie, one of the more understated specimens we've seen. Together with the club-collared shirt, it's playing the small-and-tweedy counterpart to the Indiana Jones-style jacket. Add in a classic Rolex on one wrist and a Kissi-esque wristband on the other and you've got a pretty complex salad of styles. Fortunately, he's at the right party for it.
|ALL Scene
The Italian mail order outfit Yoox just launched a massive sample sale with literally hundreds of designers at clearance-level discounts. It's quite a haul, but since the selection ranges from highbrow labels like Etro and Comme des Garçons to obscure euro labels and, well, crocs, sorting through it can be a job of work.
To that end, we've picked out a few favorites, starting with this Aquascutum poncho marked down to an eye-popping $190 just in time for the rainy season.

The ID holder tends to be overshadowed by the wallet, but as long as you've got two back pockets, there's no reason not to carry them both.
Marc Jacobs' new Rosetta Stone-style card holder has the benefit of well-kept leather and the basic beauty of Chinese script, but it's also priced at only $8, which makes it the most attainable thing we've seen from Mr. Jacobs all year.
Most importantly, though, it presents you with a choice of virtues. You can pick up holders devoted to happiness, love, health, wealth or luck…which, depending on your priorities, might present quite a conundrum. Just remember: it's better to be lucky than smart.
|ALL Object
The U.S. doesn't see much menswear from Marc Jacobs, but apparently London's got more than enough. But there may be a reason for that.
For instance, this double-layer cardigan probably goes over a lot better on Carnaby Street than Canal Street. Something about the British temperament takes to complementary colors better than staid Americans, and the double-layered knit only makes the contrast stronger.
But if you're feeling anglophilic, you know where to find it.

Being men of the world, we tend not to look to Dear Abby for sartorial advice. And this week, we were reminded why.
In Wednesday's paper (via The Cut), she took up the question of a Pennsylvania man who, as he delicately puts it, "wears skirts for comfort." Her advice? "As long as you have the testicular fortitude and shapely enough legs to wear skirts, then you have my blessing." Oh dear…
Marc Jacobs' favorite photographer is bringing out some new work to the Dutch gallery De Haan Haarlem, and lucky for us it found its way to the internet.
It's a bit more abrasive than his ad work, naturally, but his absurdist streak is still alive and well. Our favorite—other than the pharmaceutical snap at left—poses the famous William Eggleston in a rural parking lot behind a grand piano. As homages go, that one takes a lot of brass—but apparently Eggleston liked the joke enough to play along.
If you find yourself in Haarlem (no, not Harlem), you should swing by.
Just when it seemed like things were cooling down for Takashi Murakami, the holidays roll around and everyone in retail goes completely insane.
In the case of Louis Vuitton, that means wrapping an entire store in a vinyl sheet imprinted with your latest pattern. As branding moves go, it's hard to beat dressing up your store as an enormous handbag, although Marc Jacobs could still top it by tattooing his name across his forehead.
Mostly we're just surprised they're still standing by Takashi after so long. After all, the store doesn't look that different from one of the walls at Murakami's Brooklyn Museum exhibit when this whole crazy trip started off.
Maybe they're in it for art after all.

Back before he became a big time music producer and multi-Grammy winner, Mark Ronson used to DJ all the hottest parties in town—and some out of town as well (ask him about the time he flew to Milan to DJ at a Gucci soirée and got in a shouting match with Charlize Theron.) His sartorial acumen has increased appreciably since those days behind the decks; onstage these days he affects a sort of dapper nouveau-rockabilly vibe, necktie always knotted just so.

George Carlin once said that America is good at two things: taking a good idea and running it completely into the ground and taking a bad idea and running it completely into the ground. We're feeling charitable, so we'll say this is a case of the former.
We like Takashi Murakami, and Marc Jacobs has been on his game lately, but their Monogramouflage pattern has officially reached the saturation point. This, for instance, is just embarrassing. Designed as a reader giveaway for Numero Tokyo, a Japanese high fashion mag, the mousepad may mark the moment when we got tired of the whole idea of luxury patterns.
That's right. It's a mousepad.
It's no wonder Jacobs is trying to scale back the collaborations. If he isn't careful, he may end up in the computer business.
Have you ever had the feeling that the person you were speaking to was subtly mocking you? Maybe it was nothing tangible, just a touch of aloofness, a sense that everything was proceeding with a slight touch of irony…
Well, now you can get that feeling from a New York Times style piece.
The Gray Lady's latest offense is about band aids as an accessory, pointing to recent offerings from Marc Jacobs and Alexandre Herchcovitch as examples—the latter recently featured at Opening Ceremony—and taking Mr. Nicholas James Brown as its unfortunate centerpiece.

That's M.I.A., for the non-Pitchfork-educated. She's been climbing the charts, soundtracking movie trailers, and getting big-upped as this year's future of rap (according to Nas, the future of rap circa 1992).

Thanks to our friends at *GQ*, we managed to get our hands on the five-page profile of Marc Jacobs from the May issue, hitting newsstands next Tuesday.
The piece takes a closer look at Jacobs' transformation from mop-headed shut-in to flamboyant tabloid fodder, as well as his rise to power as creative director of Louis Vuitton. Apparently his secret is ulcerative colitis, a disease that forced him into a restricted diet and ruthless exercise regimen. The piece's best line is this bon mot: "If Ralph Lauren is a lifestyle, Marc Jacobs is an ethos." Does that make Tom Ford a nightclub?

No-spam email are ok for the ISPConfig spamfilter,but not for the receiver spamfilter
Hello to everybody.
I've realized a mailserver based on ISPConfig and debian.
It's working just fine.
I've just one problem: sometimes happen that somebody try to send me an email from a ISP that is NATing the IPs; the ISPConfig spamfilter is of course checking that email and mark is as NOT spam.
So the email is passed to the receiver, that is using a local spamfilter.
Well, this spamfilter is marking that email as SPAM.
This is the scenario:
LocationA _____ LocationB ___________ LocationC
the sender_____ISPConfig server _______ receiver
Doing an mxtoolbox blacklist check, the IP of the sender(that in reality is of his ISP, because it's NATing all his customers to few IP) is blacklisted...
For the moment I just remove that IP from the blacklist and I solve the problem.
But unfortunately this problem is happening quite often.
So my question is: there is a way to setup the ISPConfig to just avoid the IP of the sender when is passing the email to the receiver, so that the spamfilter on the locationC will not mark that email as spam?
Or do you have another idea to solve this problem?

After a surprising, last-minute, development
alleging an attempt by Cirrus Aircraft to coerce the Cirrus
Owner's and Pilot's Association into forbidding the Internationally
read and syndicated Aero-News Network's attendance at the annual
owner's group gathering in Colorado Springs to be held
later this week, the matter remains both unresolved, controversial
and very troubling.
Despite their well-documented agreement to work with ANN to
serve as the event's media partner (as was done the year before
with very positive feedback), and an extensive amount of negative
response from COPA members over their initial decision to let
Cirrus pay for their own live coverage and boot ANN in the process,
COPA has refused to honor its agreement with the Aero-News Network
to serve, again, as the media partner, and will provide its own,
last-minute 'live' web coverage of the event. Mind you, ANN got
effusive and glowing praise for our previous efforts... which
apparently didn't mean much to the president of COPA, who is
reported to have made the original decision before consulting the
rest of the Board.
As noted in our breaking news story last week, a number of COPA
officials had indicated that Cirrus first attempted to have
ANN removed from attending the event altogether (allegedly
in response to recent critical editorial efforts... including the
story that first broke the news that Cirrus was in the process of
being sold to Chinese entities). COPA allegedly refused this
ultimatum, but did, initially, cave into the demand that ANN be
replaced as the live streaming media-partner for the event... with
Cirrus paying for the service themselves and ostensibly able to
exert some control over what they were paying for. According to
COPA personnel, Cirrus had originally threatened to pull their
sponsorship and participation from the event if ANN was not
'muzzled' in some form.
Since the news broke, and in an apparent attempt to ameliorate
the negative feedback of its membership, COPA officials have told
ANN that they are now going to refuse Cirrus Aircraft funds in
payment for the event's live coverage -- and will instead conduct
and pay for these services themselves. The result is that COPA will
break their agreement with ANN, with little notice and after
ANN had made agreements with contractors, vendors, sponsors,
syndication partners and other entities to provide the requested
and agreed services. A somewhat questionable statement allegedly
posted by the COPA Board (though members of that board have
expressed some serious disagreement with the course and conduct of
this decision) seems to attempt some historical revisionism by
stating that the media partnership was still subject to bid by
a number of parties and that COPA decided to not accept ANN's
'offer'. However; documentation received by ANN, as well as
statements online (on the COPA site), contradict this statement and
(we believe) firmly establish the fact that ANN was both
approved and had agreements with COPA to serve as their partner at
this event -- and again, as they had in the past. Further; shortly
after this matter became public, ANN received reports of some
personal attacks (on the COPA message boards) coming from
persons/parties that have had no prior contact/discussion or
involvement with ANN... and while we do not know those allegedly
involved, the personal attacks parallel the very threats
issued to ANN by Cirrus Aircraft personnel... and are being
reported to Law Enforcement.
The matter has just gotten somewhat more ponderous in that ANN
has received word from long-time ANN sponsors that within days of
this revelation, they had begun receiving 'anonymous' packages in
the mail that appeared to have the intent to disparage and defame
ANN and its Editor-In-Chief -- and appear to be an organized
attempt to damage or destroy this news organization's ability to
conduct its business as a journalistic entity. The action was not
unexpected in that several Cirrus Aircraft officials had threatened
ANN Publisher Jim Campbell that if he persisted in covering issues
surrounding a number of controversial actions that were alleged to
have been conducted by the management/staff of CA, that 'quite a
lot of dirt" had been gathered (about Campbell) and would be
disseminated in response. The 'dirt' reportedly includes details of
Campbell's 1978 arrest for a World Trade Center skydiving episode;
some seemingly negative material from the Sun 'n Fun Fly-In -- who
was exposed by Campbell for fraudulent attendance reports, safety
issues and other concerns; and matters supposedly connected to an
FAA medical issue that are over 30 years old... and of dubious
veracity. The matter is being handed over to US Postal Service
Inspectors and the Federal Bureau of Investigation for immediate
action and investigation.
Aero-News Analysis/Opinion: Here we go again.
The actual ID of the party, or parties, engaging in acts of
apparent mail fraud, as well as extortion, remains as yet
unknown... but the timing is suspect in light of the recent events
conducted by Cirrus Aircraft to allegedly violate various
constitutional protections, our business agreements with COPA, and
to force our silence on matters that they have refused to
respond to, that we strongly believe require explanation and
exposure. We find it particularly troubling that within scant days
after being bought by a company owned by a Communist Chinese
state-owned firm, that Cirrus Aircraft personnel seem intent on
attacking journalists in a matter that seems quite apropos with the
established precedents of the Chinese government. The current
management of Cirrus might find themselves quite at home on
Tiananmen Square...
ANN's coverage of the Chinese purchase, initially, was based
more in finding out the truth behind the actions of the company
prior to the sale, rather than who it was being sold to... but in
seeing what has happened to one of the most successful and uniquely
American aviation success stories, we are now greatly concerned as
to what may be next. If CA's Brent Wouters is acting out of his own
desire to muzzle ANN, that's one thing... but if this is being
conducted at the behest of his Chinese bosses, that is quite
another... and the reason why we have asked for Federal
Investigation and intervention in seeing this matter be properly
examined. Further; if this isn't a matter that begs for the
attention (and action/involvement) of the various American
aviation associations, such as GAMA, AOPA, and others; we're not
sure what is.
ANN remains resolute in NOT bowing to the extortionate demands
of a company that appears to have acted improperly while receiving
proper journalistic scrutiny over same. ANN remains resolute in
denying any attempt to circumvent the magnificent freedoms and the
awesome responsibilities inherent in the First Amendment to our
somewhat battered US Constitution... and ANN remains more resolute
than ever before in telling you what we know to be truth and what
we so very strongly believe needs to be known by the aviation
industry if it is to have any chance of recovery and success.
Warts and all, we're going to keep doing our jobs. We love
aviation, and the people in it, so very desperately that we simply
do not know any other way to act...
As an aside, we are sorry to have to disappoint so many of the
event's sponsors and attendees who had come to depend on ANN for
the coverage and exposure we provided this once proud event. ANN,
single-handedly, produced more stories, online/audio/video about
this event than ALL OTHER MEDIA OUTLETS COMBINED. Yes... ANN is
getting screwed, the Constitution is getting screwed... but the
companies that needed ANN's coverage and the persons who wanted ANN
to cover this event are the ones getting royally hosed. At
a time when even the largest events in the aviation world are
watching pivotal sponsors/companies/supporters drop out of
attending and supporting their events, slapping these vendors and
supporters in the face with the loss of this extensive media
coverage seems to be a questionable and indefensible decision.
If we were such a vendor, we'd be asking for our money back...
and we hear that several intend to do just that...
ANN's Jim Campbell will attend, briefly, the upcoming
COPA event, in an attempt to resolve questions about this and other
matters that we believe to be our responsibility to pursue. In
light of the apparent miscommunication by the COPA Board and their
decision to cave in to the demands of Cirrus and their Chinese
bosses, and in apparent violation of proper ethical conduct (as
described by two senior COPA officials at odds with these recent
actions), Campbell will resign from the Cirrus Owner's and
Pilot's Association at the forthcoming event. Due to the
aforementioned threats (and others that have been received of a far
more direct nature), ANN will not risk harm/harassment to any other
of our personnel and will send no one else to this event.
Please understand that ANN does have much to be concerned
about... although we have not yet detailed the specifics, ANN has
been the victim of what we (and our legal advisers) have concluded
to be serious and threatening conduct by Cirrus Aircraft -- and, in
particular, by three of the most senior persons at that company.
While we regret the need to get involved in our own stories, ANN
will document that situation shortly (as if we didn't have enough
on our plate already... sigh). -- Jim Campbell, ANN

Washington Wizards center Brendan Haywood, who want to work in media when's done playing professional basketball, explained in a December 29, 2009, Q & with NBA.com's Steve Aschburner why he recently stopped blogging:
NBA.com: I'll admit, I was a late arrival to your blog -- by the time I started reading it, you already were shutting it down. What's up with that?
Brendan Haywood: I'm intrigued by media. I want to work in media when I'm done playing, and I really enjoyed blogging. I just enjoyed talking about whatever topics are hot. But these days, people get upset about certain things.
NBA.com: Upset? What sort of "upset?''
BH: I blogged that Michael Vick should get a second chance because he paid his debt to society. But we had people calling, talking about how I'm supporting dog fighting. I love blogging, but I can't have people calling [the team], complaining about me when we're not winning. And being in a contract year, it's just not smart. [Haywood makes $6 million this season and will be an unrestricted free agent come July.]

Well, as I always say, till date, we haven't seen Apple's new product, up to that date, we are going to receive the rumors and updates associated with it. here comes another and it's related to the next generation iPhone. Actually, according to AT&T, if Apple turned on the HSPA part of the Gobi 14.4 chips in its Verizon iPad and iPhone, then, they would already be 4G. Let's have more information on this from below.
Recently, it has been noticed that AT&T has begun calling regular old 14.4 Mbps HSPA devices 4G in its latest marketing materials. Till date, the pseudo "4G" was reserved for HSPA+ on T-Mobile and AT&T that tops out at 21Mbps. But, with the release of the HPalm Veer 4G, HTC Inspire 4G and Motorola Atrix 4G, AT&T has extended the 4G down to speeds of 14.4 Mbps, exactly the same speed as those Qualcomm chips that The Cupertino company loves.
Actually, most industry watchers hope the next iPhone to run on some version of the Qualcomm chip that the Verizon has which would allow it to do double radio duty and can be operated across all US networks.
Seemingly, AT&T is paving the way to charge extra for the benefit of using the newly branded "4G" that doesn't sound good to us. So, what do you think on this? Just don't forget to share your views and comments on this with us. [Thanks 9To5Mac]

[Translate] Chocolate is most people's guilty pleasure, but my guilty pleasure is ice cream. And not just any ice cream, but luscious Italian gelato, preferably eaten in Italy at one of my favorite gelateria, Perche No!, in Firenze, or in Israel at Gelateria Siciliana on Ibn Givrol in Tel Aviv. I also enjoy making my own ice cream and sorbet at home, which I have blogged in several posts here. The final course for the dinner party last week was a recipe for semifreddo that intrigued me from the moment I saw it on the Food52 website. Semifreddo literally means "half-frozen" and is a frozen dessert that has a mousse-like texture from equal parts of Click here to continue reading this post
[Translate] It was my turn again to bring goodies for my team's weekly Kabbalat Shabbat. Since my turn fell on Christmas Eve and given the fact that none of us celebrate Christmas, I thought I would do something unusual and make a typical German Christmas fruit cake that no one on my team had ever seen or tasted. Stollen is something that is very familiar to me because my family would eat it along with lebkuchen, speculaas, and my grandmother's famous butter cookies for Hannukah and the end of the year family celebrations. My grandmother never made a stollen at home, but she always received one from family friends in Germany. I thought it would Click here to continue reading this post
[Translate] Since my surgery, I have been trying to get back in the kitchen, but I have been working long days at work and so I haven't had a lot of energy to cook. Most of our meals have not been special enough to blog about. Last Shabbat, I decided it was time to cook again. There was a whole chicken staring at me in the freezer and I knew that I wanted to try something new. I had a hankering for curry, so what better than curry roasted chicken. You can be very flexible with this recipe by using a curry and other spices of your choice. This chicken is even better the next Click here to continue reading this post
[Translate] We didn't have a Rosh Hashana tradition of making honey cakes in my house. I didn't even know there was a tradition to serve honey cake during this holiday. We made Honigkuchen, which were basically lebkuchen, a type of spice cookie that we always made for Hannukah. My grandmother always made Noodle Schalet (Noodle Pudding, not Kugel, with eggs, lemon zest and raisins) with lemon sauce for dessert. We had Suesse Apfel (carmelised apple slices in honey) as a side dish with roast beef. So when I moved to Israel, people started asking me what does your mother put in her honey cake? Does she put nuts in, coffee or tea, schnapps, only cinnamon? Click here to continue reading this post
[Translate] Tomorrow at sundown begins the observance of and twenty-five hour fast during Yom Kippur. The meal before the fast should be simple, not too rich and not too spicy. It is better not to make the meal with garlic or hot peppers. At the completion of the fast, it is better to eat something that is not too hard on the stomach, so we usually break the fast by eating biscuits (cookies) and crackers, and of course some water, but not too fast or you will upset your stomach. A Yemenite co-worker told me today that I should drink a glass of fresh pomegranate juice before the fast, it will make the fast easier. Click here to continue reading this post
Rosh Hashana 5768
[Translate] Chag Sameach everyone! I hope you had a nice meal with your family. We went to my cousin's house for the first night of Rosh Hashana and had a lovely time. We invited some friends of ours for dinner last night. My husband made a Rosh Hashana favourite and I introduced several new surprises to our repertoire. Everything was delicious. The cake calls for sour cream and one of my guests has a dairy allergy and can only tolerate butter in baked goods, so I substituted a non-dairy yogurt in its place. It worked fine. And in case you are wondering about why I served a dairy cake, we keep kashrut according to the Click here to continue reading this post
[Translate] The Hebrew word for Cardamom is הל or hel. I love the flavor of cardamom and sprinkle it on apricot or peach tarts before I put them in the oven. It adds a nice spicy touch to the fruit. It was suppose to be 40C (now they say 36C) tomorrow, so I decided that this is a good time to pull out the ice cream machine and make some cardamom ice cream. I have never made it before. The best version I have ever had is at the best fish restaurant in Israel, called Uri Buri in Acco (Acre). They make all of their own ice creams and they are creamy, flavorful and lovely.

Upper Galilee – Beautiful Place, Beautiful Food, Beautiful Drink
[Translate] The Upper Galilee is one of my favourite areas to visit in Israel. Most of our delicious fruit comes from this area: apples, pears, plums, cherries, raspberries and grapes….Ah! the grapes. It is chockful of vineyards producing some delicious wines. Yes, Israel is producing some very nice wines thanks to a number of boutique wineries (not all of them in the Galilee) that have popped up over the years. Some of my favourite wineries are Flam, Sea Horse, Amphorae, Saslove, Galil Mountain, Dalton, Recanati, Margalit, Castel and Carmel's (click on Carmel Fine Wines) new line of single vineyard and private collection wines.

Word is emerging that on Wednesday 2 March, 2 Dutch F-16s
intercepted 2 Russian T-95 Bear bombers. The Russians had
penetrated Dutch airspace without making their identities
Dutch F-16 Fighters
The air combat control division of the Nieuw Milligen Air
Operations Control Station directed the F-16s of Leeuwarden Air
Base towards the Bears for visual identification and to escort them
through the Dutch area of responsibility. The F-16s intercepted the
Russians at the edge of the airspace that the Netherlands is
responsible for within NATO.
The fighter jets then tailed the Bears until the latter flew out
of the Dutch area of responsibility into British airspace. The
Quick Reaction Alert (QRA) of the Royal Air Force took over from
there. Prior to their interception by the RNLAF, the Russians had
been monitored by Danish fighters.
For the defence of the airspace over the Netherlands, F-16s are
on standby for the Quick Reaction Alert (QRA) task 24 hours-a-day,
7 days-a-week. These F-16s are capable of intercepting an
unidentified aircraft in Dutch airspace within a few minutes after
it has been detected. Orders for intercepting an aircraft are
issued by NATO and sent to the Nieuw Milligen Air Operations
Control Station. This military air traffic control and air combat
control centre alerts the F-16s on permanent standby and "talks"
them to their objective.

Black Frog (okopipi): next generation botnet. No generation spam fighting.
May 25th, 2006 by SecuriTeam, Filed under: Commentary, Spam
black frog – a new effort to continue the so-called blue security fight against spammers. a botnet, a crime, a stupid idea that i wish would have worked.
blue frog by blue security was a good effort. why? because they wanted to "get spammers back".
they withstood tremendous distributed denial of service (ddos) attacks and abuse reports, getting kicked from isp after isp.
they withtood the entire anti spam and security community and industry saying they are bad.
the road to heaven is filled with good intentions. their's was golden, but they got to hell, quite literally, non-the-less.
they did not hurt any spammer (okay, maybe one), as their attacks reaches servers spammers already moved from, domains spammers already dumped for the sake of thousands of other bulk-registered throw-away domains and so on.
their attacks did reach hacked machines which hosted other sites. their attacks reached isp's with other users and their attacks hurt the internet as well as these other legitimate targets.
blue security also got a lot of pr, good and bad, but they were not here first. lycos europe with their "make love not spam" effort was. isp's globally nullrouted that service, as it was indeed, much like blue security's, a ddos tool by the use of a botnet. a botnet in this case being numerous computers controlled from a centralized point to launch, say, an attack.
lycos europe soon realized their mistake and took their service off the air. blue security had 5 millions usd of vc money to burn, so they stayed.
even if they did reach spammers with their attacks (which they didn't), they would still hurt so many others with the attacks, and the internet itself. when blue security came under attack they themselves said how ddos attacks are bad, and their fallout hurts so much more than just their designated target.
that said, who is to determine said target?
when blue security went down, some of us made a bet as to when two bored guys sitting and planning their millions in some caffe would show up, with blue security's business plan minus the ddos factor. well – they just did.
thing is, a p2p network is just as easy to ddos. it has centralized points.
it is, indeed, a botnet.
i want to kick spammer behind too, but all i would accomplish by helping these guys is performing illegal attacks and hurting the internet as well as innocent bystanders.
this business model will not last. it will get pr, but it will not be alone. 10 other efforts just such as this will follow. now that black frog made their appearance – sooner rather than later.
how long is this journey of folly going to continue? any service provider which hosts them is as guilty of the illegal ddos attacks as anyone who signs up with them.
the way to kick spammer behinds is to, plain and simple, put them in jail. i.e., change the economics. make it more risky and less cost-effective for them bad guys to spam.
stop black frog now.
i will keep updating about this latest useless harmful project on the blog where this is written, http://blogs.securiteam.com.

The Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology should more clearly define pieces of its plan for governing the Nationwide Health Information Network by clarifying its terminology and separating policy-level requirements and technical, implementation-level requirements, according to comments from the HIT Standards Committee's workgroups.
For example, ONC needs to clarify that "validation" of the NwHIN network validated entities (NVEs) encompasses both accreditation and certification, and should define the terms accordingly, Dixie Baker, chair of the NwHIN power team and senior vice president and technical fellow at Science Applications International Corp., told members of the committee May 24.
The NwHIN power team and the privacy and security workgroup presented recommendations at the Standards Committee meeting on ONC's May 15 request for information on the best governance practices to enable a competitive and open market for electronic health information exchange (see previous article).
"The integrity of the validation process, and ongoing oversight and policy enforcement, are critical to the success of the voluntary approach," the workgroup said.
ONC proposed a voluntary validation process for entities to demonstrate compliance with its conditions of trusted exchange, which will be used to validate their participation in the NwHIN. Conditions of trusted exchange would include standards for interoperability, data safeguards, and business practices.
According to the power team's recommendations, some conditions of trusted exchange are too specific, such as the transport standards and certificate discovery standards.
Additionally, the power team recommended that validation of exchange technology under defined governance policies should be separated from certification of exchange systems' conformance to technical specifications, though both processes may be considered parts of an overall governance model, Baker said.
According to the workgroup, people in the marketplace do not know about or understand yet what NwHIN or NVE mean, and ONC should make clear how NVE validation will facilitate broader exchange of health data.
The workgroup recommended that ONC's federal partners play a key role in communication and outreach on NwHIN governance. For example, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services could require that health information be electronically exchanged with the agency only through an NVE.
The initiative has launched pilots with the New York City and New York State Departments of Health to support electronic queries for data on diabetes and hypertension. A pilot has also been launched at the Massachusetts Department of Health for diabetes queries.
The Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are participating in query health pilots on the use of clinical data sources for FDA questions and CDC national and regional disease syndromes, Richard Elmore, ONC coordinator for query health, told the committee.
The overall goal of the query health initiative is to enable a learning health system to understand population measures of health, performance, disease and quality, while respecting patient privacy, Elmore said.

Letters to the Editor, April 5, 2013
Letter to Editor:
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! The Block Island Residents Association and the Conservation Commission want to thank all of you who participated in the Crescent Beach Dune Restoration Work Day on Saturday. There were about 100 of you and you accomplished a great deal. You dug 360 post holes, you installed 50 rolls of snow fencing (that is about half a mile) and you fenced six beach access paths from the Baby Beach to Scotch Beach.
While you made major strides in restoring the Dunes, we still have more work to do. We will be scheduling a second Work Day for later this month. Keep tuned for details.
Bill Penn
President, BIRA
Ned Phillips, Jr.
Chairman, Conservation Commission
To the Editor:
In an unprecedented move, the Block Island Motor Vehicles for Hire Commission (MVFH) added Chief Brody to the board.
"We were so impressed with his new and practical suggestions that we invited him to join the MVFH and he accepted," said chair Vin McAloon in a recent interview. Chief Brody will be commuting to the meetings until he finds a home for his wife and eight children, three dogs and a partridge in a pear tree.
Connie LaRue
Secretary MVFH
To the Editor:
The Federal Aviation Association (FAA) is considering decommissioning a major air navigation radio transmitter facility, the "Sandy Point" (SEY VOR/DME) at the Block Island Airport and this, in my view, will negatively impact air navigation to and from Block Island, and to nearby airports to a significant degree. The FAA has published a notice of proposed action, and is accepting public comment on their plans to decommission this important air navigation radio beacon.
Background: The SEY VOR/DME is one of over a thousand FAA owned and operated navigational aids (NavAid), which is located in the small round structure with a white inverted cone on top, just south of the runway at the airport. It is an electronic beacon that transmits signals used by aircraft navigation radios. The SEY VOR/DME is major hub in the national airspace system for enroute traffic and also serves as the basis for two of the four FAA published instrument approaches to the Block Island Airport (VOR 28 and VOR/DME 10). The FAA plans to start decommissioning some of the nation's VOR/DME facilities in the future, once a majority of the aircraft using the nation's airspace, have converted their radios to use GPS navigation.
The FAA routinely studies the NavAids which make up the national airspace system to determine their cost with respect to FAA air navigation program goals. As part of this review, the "option to decommission" the prospective NavAid is always considered. On Feb. 1, the FAA published a notice that they are conducting such a study and are requesting public comment on their proposed option to decommission the SEY VOR/DME.
From a pilot's point of view: the SEY VOR/DME is one of the most important NavAids in our region. It is the basis for two instrument approaches to Block Island and provides fixes for instrument approaches at six other nearby airports including Westerly, Newport, and Quonset. It is a hub for four separate airways and used in defining 36 airway intersections. Its decommissioning would be a significant loss, especially for general aviation aircraft which do not yet have the latest GPS IFR (instrument flight rules) enroute or approach navigation capability.
From a Block Island policy maker's point of view: the VOR/DME decommissioning by the FAA, and the loss of the VOR instrument approaches to the airport, will make it impossible for aircraft not equipped with the latest GPS technology, (and the new GPS navigation receivers cost about $7,500 each), to conduct an instrument approach to Block Island in marginal visual or instrument flight conditions. Not only will this limit the number of aircraft who normally fly to B.I. in inclement weather but it will also impact the ability to conduct emergency medical evacuations by aircraft not GPS IFR equipped. Its decommissioning would mean that even aircraft equipped with IFR capable GPS, will not be able to conduct an instrument approach to Block Island when the GPS satellite system is out of service due to system maintenance or atmospheric conditions (Sunspots). In this case aircraft would normally use the VOR/DME instrument approach backup system, if there was one.
The proposed decommissioning of the SEY VOR/DME will clearly have social, economic, and health and public safety impacts for a community which utilizes air transportation as a major means of access to that community.
Please help keep the SEY VOR/DME alive. Kindly consider sending a statement to the FAA from the Town of New Shoreham objecting to any proposal to decommission the Sandy Point VOR/DME at this time. Please find the FAA contact information for this case below. Kindly reference "Aeronautical Study 13-ANE-201 NR" in the Subject Line. It would also be very helpful to appeal to our U.S. Congress, and Senate representatives, to support the town's position, in this case.
FAA Contact Person for this proposed action:

Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Phone: 404-305-5610,
Fax: 404-305-5572
Even though the published deadline for public comment is March 28th, in our experience, and because this is an ongoing study, the FAA will still consider letters or emails after that date.
Thank you for your consideration.

To the Editor:
The April 1 discussion of the Deer Task Force's proposed herd elimination/reduction plan led to an interesting exchange of opinions and ideas, and in the end the Town Council voted by a 3 to 2 majority to support the plan (in concept). The proposed plan calls for multiple night-time hunts each year for five years, using deer baiting, spotlighting and rifles, with local hunters doing the shooting. The Deer Task Force said that details of the proposed hunts, including costs, would be worked out at a later date.
Along with others at the meeting, I voiced my concern regarding the risks inherent in night hunting, especially with rifles, and I urged the Council to ask the Task Force to come back with a plan for daytime managed hunts. My thanks goes to Police Chief Carlone and two Island hunters, Paul Dean and Chris Blane, whose comments reflected their belief in the importance of safety.
In the end, despite the concerns of some residents, the Town may agree to support and fund night hunting with rifles. If so, I suggest the following measures be put in place to help ensure there is no unintended harm to the hunters, persons assisting in the hunts, island residents, visitors, pets, property, livestock and wildlife other than the targeted deer:
Make public in a timely, informative way the dates and hours of all night hunts.
Make public in a timely, informative way the location (plat, lot and "street" address) and owner of all properties being hunted, including private property, Town land, State and Federal land.
Notify abutting property owners and/or residents of the intent to conduct night hunts.
Identify and make public the carrying distance of the weapon type to be used (there is a significant difference between the range of a shotgun and a rifle).
Identify all properties where livestock are pastured or stabled that are within the weapon's carrying distance, and notify the owners/caretakers so that they have the opportunity to take special precautions for the safety of their animals.
This last item is especially important to me as I have horses on my property. There are a number of other Island residents who keep valuable horses, cattle and goats.
I urge the Council to take very seriously the safety issues related to night hunting with rifles. Block Island has a long history of legal, safe hunting and I would not want to see that track record broken.
