According to the Obama campaign, Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted doesn't actually have the authority to arbitrarily override the lower court's ruling on early-voting rights, and they have filed a motion asking a federal court to enforce the lower court's ruling
In its filing Wednesday, the Obama campaign pointed out that Ohio had not sought an actual stay of Economus' decision, and instead "appears to believe it can issue [a stay] on its own authority." The Obama campaign said Husted's memo does not "identify the legal basis for this extraordinary action," and argued that the memo conflicts with a well-established principle that orders based on a court decision are to be respected until an appeals court rules on the matter.
"Plaintiffs respectfully request that the Court act as appropriate and necessary to enforce its Order issued August 31, 2012," lawyer Donald J. McTigue writes in the motion.
Jon Husted did not actually obtain a stay on the lower court's ruling, and Husted does not have the authority to impose his will absent a stay. He'll have to obtain one or abide by the lower court's ruling.
Or he can pull a Rick Scott and decide the following the law is for schmucks. Either way, he's embarrassing Ohio.
I'm sure there was a time when Republicans concerned themselves with the rule of law even when it didn't fit their agenda, but I can't recall when that was.

City Bakery
New York, NY, 10011, United States
With its towering ceiling, airy interior, and oversize baked goods, City Bakery cultivates an air of abundance. Known for its salad bar, prepared gourmet foods, famous mac and cheese, hot chocolate, and unique confections—the flaky pretzel croissant, for instance—this Flatiron District eatery run by TV producer Maury Rubin has maintained a loyal following for breakfast, brunch, and lunch since opening in 1990. While customers shouldn't come expecting bargains or speedy service (long waits in line are common), there is plenty of seating. Small tables line the main floor's perimeter, more are up in the mezzanine, and seven stools are located at the bar named Lucille.
Insider Tip:
Time your visit to coincide with the annual Hot Chocolate Festival, held each February. It's a celebration of unique flavors such as bourbon hot chocolate.

On this day in 1928, Eliezer "Elie" Wiesel, the human rights activist and Nobel Peace Prize-winning author of more than 50 books, including "Night," an internationally acclaimed memoir based on his experiences as a prisoner in Nazi concentration camps during World War II, is born in Sighet, Transylvania (present-day Romania).
In May 1944, the Nazis deported 15-year-old Wiesel and his family to Auschwitz, a concentration camp in Poland. Wiesel's mother and the youngest of his three sisters died at Auschwitz, while he and his father later were moved to another camp, Buchenwald, located in Germany. Wiesel's father perished at Buchenwald just months before it was liberated by Allied troops in April 1945.
Following the war, Wiesel spent time in a French orphanage, studied at the Sorbonne in Paris and went on to work as a journalist in France. In the early 1950s, he broke a self-imposed vow not to speak about the atrocities he witnessed at the concentration camps and penned the first version of "Night" in Yiddish, under the title "Un di Velt Hot Geshvign" ("And the World Remained Silent"). At the encouragement of Nobel laureate and prominent French writer Francois Mauriac, Wiesel reworked the manuscript in French. However, even with Mauriac's help in trying to land a book deal, the manuscript was rejected by multiple publishers, who believed few people at the time were interested in reading about the Holocaust. The book was eventually released in 1958 as "La Nuit"; an English translation, "Night," followed in 1960. Although initial sales were sluggish, "Night" was generally well reviewed and over the decades gained an audience, eventually becoming a classic of Holocaust literature that has sold millions of copies and has been translated into more than 30 languages. In 2006, TV talk show host Oprah Winfrey selected "Night" for her famed on-air book club, and traveled with Wiesel to Auschwitz for an episode of her show.
Since the publication of "Night," Wiesel has written dozens of works of fiction and non-fiction, lectured widely and crusaded against injustice and intolerance around the world. A professor at Boston University since the 1970s, he was instrumental in the founding of the Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., and has received numerous awards, including the 1986 Nobel Peace Prize.

Brandon Jennings' Career Shot Chart
Check out newly acquired Detroit Pistons point guard Brandon Jennings' career shot chart via Grantland. If Jennings is going to help the Pistons next season he's going to need to get his shooting percentage up. Regardless, he's going to benefit big time from having Josh Smith, Greg Monroe, or Andre Drummond down low.

By day, The Bounce House Amusement Center's bouncers, slides, and obstacles courses are what you'd expect them to be: colorful inflatable surfaces where kids climb, clamor, and jump. At night, though, they function as cover for laser tag combatants, who sneak and shoot their way around the inflatable arena during 10- to 15-minute games. On Friday evenings and during full moons, patrons can enjoy the arcade, with The Bounce House switching on its nine 50-inch televisions for rounds of Xbox 360 and Wii games such as Lego Harry Potter and Call of Duty .
Along with open playtimes, the center hosts camps, as well as birthday parties built around its inflatable, laser tag, and video game attractions.
A motley collection of secure and sanitized play structures dominates each Catch Air location's indoor play arena to sate the lively imaginations of children as well as the safety concerns of their parents. Each of the four locations opens its doors seven days a week to unique lineups of attractions, including three-tiered castles covered in colorful nets and padding, with space shuttles attached to appease every child's love of anachronism. Tykes 12 and younger can wade through ball pits or take to an interactive, light-up dance floor to practice moves before they reach the age when practicing becomes embarrassing. The staff maintain a watchful eye at all times and clean every play structure daily before opening. Staffers also host parties to celebrate birthdays or the end of second-grade finals week.
In WhirlyBall, participants maneuver free-range bumper cars and use a handheld scoop to collect wiffle balls to launch at the overhead targets located on either end of the court. You'll work together in teams of up to five at a time (up to 20 players are allowed on the court at once, and at least 10 are required) to crush your opponents in a whirlywind of scoops and balls. Surrounded by safety bumpers, your vehicle enjoys a complete range of motion with powerful steering that allows you to turn on a whim or a dime. If more than 20 Whirlers are in the party, players can be rotated in and watch from the comfort of leather lounge couches instead of gathering posterior splinters on the end of a rigid bench.
At Great Play, kids are encouraged to break bottles—virtual ones, arranged on virtual shelves—in the center's Interactive Arena. They are part of a hand-eye coordination game for kids, in which sensors track their "throws" and the computer-generated bottles projected onto the walls fall accordingly. Another version sees kids honing their throwing arms by aiming for an animated strike zone while a simulated crowd cheers.
But regardless of the specific games kids play on any given day in the 3,000-square-foot arena, each activity hews to the play center's overall goal: to build kids' motor skills and athletic abilities from an early age. Programs for younger kids focus on fundamentals, such as running, skipping, dodging, and tumbling. Meanwhile, athletic camps for older kids build skillsets that come in handy during pick-up games on the playground or at their first Olympic trials at age 3.
At Pirates Cove Adventure Golf, 27 challenging holes test the putting skills of players of all ages while steeping them in 18th-century pirate lore. As balls bank off rails and roll between obstacles such as boulders, the greens wind past colorful flower gardens under shady evergreens and a towering pirate ship. Throughout the course, a waterfall cascades into a stream that flows under wooden bridges, recalling how Blackbeard made his prisoners slowly walk the plank before doing a cannonball, for everyone's safety.
Anyone with a compass and a good pair of shoes can walk through a forest. Lake Lanier Canopy Tours' guides make it their mission to give lovers of the outdoors a unique view of nature from ziplines and sky bridges that snake through the treetops around Lake Lanier Islands Resort. All in all, 30 ziplines stretch above terra firma to form several distinct paths for exploring the canopy. The Lakeside tour follows four sky bridges and several ziplines that pass over Lake Lanier itself, and the Legacy Night tour takes riders equipped with headlamps and lanterns across seven ziplines. The company's most adventurous excursion, the Pine Isle tour, makes its way across a total of 11 ziplines, including the Duals, twin lines that send riders side by side for 1,500 feet at speeds upwards of 50 miles per hour.
Professional guides accompany every adventure to make sure participants are safe as they soar down the lines, traverse sky bridges, and negotiate with eagles for permission to use their trees. All of the tours are designed and built by Association for Challenge Course Technology professionals, and all gear, decks, cables, helmets, and harnesses are certified for safety.

5 reasons to have a primary care physician (PCP) and how to choose the right one
1.) PCPs provide routine medical screenings based on your health history to help detect and treat disease early. In some cases, early detection can be the difference between life and death. For example, finding cancer in early stages gives patients the best chance of survival. Seeing a qualified PCP regularly can maximize your health potential.
2.) When symptoms arise, you may have them checked promptly. Some physicians may not have appointments available for several months unless you are an established patient. You do not want to wait until, for instance, you find a lump in your breast to start considering who's the best PCP. It's better to be proactive and deter any unnecessary stress.
3.) Loyalty to one PCP allows him/her to get to know you and your personal medical history. If there's an emergency, your PCP will be able to consider your personal needs during treatment. He/she also can use this information to better advise you about how to handle other health issues you may be facing.
4.) Your PCP will serve as the "coach" of your health care team, helping you make important decisions if ever you're faced with a serious medical condition. He/she can refer you to appropriate specialists and guide you through other decisions related to your treatment plan.
5.) Having a trusted PCP to call for sound advice is priceless. Sometimes you may have a simple question to ask, like how to keep your son hydrated during a long bout of stomach flu. Rather than risk being misinformed, you can call a trained, qualified medical expert anytime.
Choosing the right PCP for you
Depending on your age, gender and other needs, your PCP might be a specialist in internal medicine, family medicine, obstetrics and gynecology or pediatrics. Here are other questions you might consider:
- Do you have a medical condition that requires special attention? If so, you might consider a PCP with a sub-specialty, i.e. cardiology if you have a heart condition.
- Has one of your friends or family members mentioned a favorite doctor? Ask them to tell you about their experiences.
- Does your insurance cover services provided by the PCP you're considering? To find out, read directories from your insurance plan or contact your provider.
- Is the PCP truly qualified? Verify his or her board certifications, practice information, legal actions and professional activities.
- Can he/she admit you to a local hospital and follow you as an inpatient? You want to make sure your PCP has privileges at a reputable hospital in your area.
- Do you feel comfortable and satisfied with office environment, policies and procedures? Ultimately, the best way to decide is to visit or call the practice to ask questions.

State Real Estate Market Shows Slight Growth
For Release: August 15, 2008
Contact: Jessica Iverson, Communications Officer, 608-266-2300
MADISON – Wisconsin property values increased slightly from 2007, according to the Wisconsin Department of Revenue's Equalized Values Report released today. State residential property values grew by 3%, or $10.09 billion, between January 1, 2007 and January 1, 2008.
The report shows that existing residential property grew in value by 1%, in line with the Office of Federal Housing Oversight (OFHEO) estimate of 1.80% growth in existing Wisconsin home values, excluding new construction. If the value of new construction is considered, the overall increase in residential value is 3%. The OFHEO also reported existing residential property values decreased .03% nationwide, positioning Wisconsin slightly ahead of the rest of the country.
" Wisconsin's real estate market has remained relatively stable, avoiding the extreme fluctuations of property values in other states," said Revenue Secretary Roger M. Ervin. "This slight growth in property values demonstrates the resiliency of our state's economy even as we face national economic challenges."
The report indicates that commercial and manufacturing property showed continued strong growth in new construction, with increases of 4% and 3% respectively due to new construction. Commercial property had a total increase of $3.7 billion (4%) and manufacturing property had a total increase of $521 million (4%) over the previous year.
In addition, recreational and waterfront properties in many Wisconsin communities, often undeveloped land, continue to show growth. Undeveloped, Agricultural Forest and Forest lands have shown increased values overall by 6%, 8% and 4%, respectively.
This year's growth increased Wisconsin's total equalized property values to $514 billion, a 3% increase over the prior year.
Equalized values are calculated annually to ensure statewide fairness and equity in property tax distribution. An equalized value represents an estimate of a taxation district's total taxable value, and provides for the fair apportionment of taxation district levies (including school districts and counties) to each municipality. Growth in equalized value does not necessarily translate into higher property taxes.
The Equalized Values Report is available at www.revenue.wi.gov:
Reports available on the website include:
- Changes in Equalized Values by Class of Property
- County Rankings – Growth in Equalized Values
- Changes in Equalized Values for Selected Cities
- History of Equalized Values (all property) since 1959
- Statement of Changes in Equalized Values (Report 2) – Full Report by County and Municipality

Myths & realities
Published: Monday | January 5, 2009
Don't sweep dust outside your house at nights because it is said that you will sweep out your luck.
Since forever, Jamaicans have generally been a superstitious set. Despite growing levels of education, they still follow certain rituals. Below is a list of myths that Jamaicans still practise. But this is 2009 and we need to shy away from these myths.
1 Don't sweep dust outside your house at nights because it is said that you will sweep out your luck.
2 Don't keep broken glass in the house; otherwise, it will bring bad luck.
3 Don't throw water outside at night or you will throw it on a ghost.
4 When you build a new house before living in it, you should kill a chicken and sprinkle the blood at the four corners to ward off evil spirits.
5 A baby boy who resembles his mother will be lucky and so will a baby girl who resembles her father.
6 If a knife falls in the house, you will have a male visitor. But if a big spoon falls in your house an older woman is going to visit you. And if, when putting it down a knife lands blade up, you are going to travel.
7 When a withered leaf falls from a tree on you, it is said that you will be getting money. You will also get riches if the palms of your hands itch.
8 It is said that if you point at a grave and not bite your fingers they will rot.
9 If you wash your face with rice water, you will see 10 ghosts. The last one will be dressed in black and white and slap you across the face.
10 If you go to a funeral, and put your head between your legs and look at the coffin, you will see the person who is dead sitting on top of it.
11 If you open an umbrella in your house, you will not get married.
12 If a man has a papaya tree in his yard, he will be impotent.
If you believe any of the myths above and have proof that any of them actually work or are true, please tell us about it at firstname.lastname@example.com.

PHOENIX -- The Goldwater Institute mourns the passing of Robert L. Bartley, editor emeritus of the Wall Street Journal and winner of the Institute's 2003 John Kolbe Award for Excellence in Journalism.
Bartley took over as editor of the Wall Street Journal editorial page in 1972, and transformed the newspaper into America's most influential voice for free-market economic policies. As the self-described "mouthpiece of supply-side economics," Bartley helped to inspire the fiscal policies of the Reagan Administration. Many economists now credit Reagan's supply-side tax cuts and regulatory reforms for the robust economic prosperity of the 1980s, an era Bartley chronicled in a book titled The Seven Fat Years: And How To Do It Again. His editorials were awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1980, and earlier this month, President George W. Bush awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Bartley fought for liberty with a spirit of joyous optimism. That spirit was best expressed in a column he wrote summarizing his work at the Journal: "What I think I've learned over 30 years is that in this society, rationality wins out, progress happens, and problems have solutions. This, I like to think, is what happens when a society incorporates the editorial credo of my newspaper, free markets and free people. In that kind of a society, optimism pays."
We were honored to present Robert Bartley with the Kolbe Award, and we join the nation in mourning the loss of a dedicated champion of liberty.

It's not long now. The Ponds (Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill) are on their way out. With only one episode of Doctor Who left, it's time to start gathering your tissues. If you're the sort of person that cries at goodbyes. Not that I do. Nope. This is all a service for you. Sniff.
This week's penultimate episode, "The Power of Three" has the Doctor (Matt Smith) staying with the Ponds for a year during the "slow invasion" of a bunch of cubes, really spying equipment for the Shakri, the "pest control of the universe." We humans, it seems, must be eradicated before we spread like the cockroaches we are. The Doctor professes his love for humans and the planet we live on and saves the day, of course. He does it with one heart (Lefty) out of commission until Amy zaps it back into beating.
The thing is, the invasion isn't really the main issue here. For those of us who have loved the Ponds, from Amy's flirtation to her deep friendship with the Doctor, (Does anyone else sigh every time he kisses her on the head?) and Rory's change from another random guy to a true part of the team, this episode was like catnip. It's like Steven Moffat was giving us a chance to really sink out teeth into the relationship these three have and marinate ourselves in it before the end. That said, if the end involves the death of one of both of the Ponds or turning them into Angels or stuffing them into another universe … well, I don't know about you, but no amount of Pond marination is going to get me ready for that. Gillan has said that this is going to be a heartbreaking end, and the entire cast has said it's satisfying. Gillan also claims she doesn't want to come back for cameos. So, death? Say it ain't so!
Gillan also claims she doesn't want to come back for cameos. So, death? Say it ain't so!
As I said, Moffat was giving us everything a Pond-fan could wish. We got to see more of Rory's dad Brian (Mark Williams), which gives us a bit more of a glimpse of who the man who waited really is. We see that Rory is actually a great nurse and that Amy has friends who love her enough (or hate her enough) to include her in a wedding party. They seem to really love their lives, but we see that old spark when the Doctor takes them on a trip during their anniversary. A seven week trip! They've been traveling with the Doctor for what amounts to ten years. They're older than their friends, but something seems to keep them going back.
Even more touching? We learn just how much the Doctor loves them. "You were the first face this face saw." He misses them when they're not around. At the end of the episode, they're off for one last adventure. Last! A pretty fine point was put on the fact that Amy always gets what she wants. Will that be a happy life with her Rory? So I want to put this question to you. How do you want the Ponds to go out? Do you think the only answer is for them to die? Do you want to see them forget their lives with him? Are Angels the way to go? Should he just leave them in peace? And if the end is tragic, what will that mean for the Doctor? He'd have to live through their deaths at some point, but if it's really the end and it's far too soon, how much darker will the Doctor go? Can the new companion pull him out of it? Leave your comments below. I promise, I read them all.
Finally, a few notes. It was wonderful to see Kate Lethbridge Stewart, the daughter of the Brigadier heading up UNIT! I'm sure she'll be back. Also, the Doctor did something you rarely see on American TV. He mentioned Twitter (with disgust) and YouTube. We usually have to make up fake names for such things. And they ate fish fingers and custard! I'm not sure my stomach will ever recover from the idea, but the AV Club dug up a recipe for it. Check it out here and report back when their pumping your stomach in the hospital.

Field Report: Armstrong X-1000B
I provide contract engineering services to a 1kW Christian station in Norfolk, VA. For several years, the station needed to replace its transmitter. Ongoing repairs to the old one became a problem because it was difficult to obtain the necessary parts. After several bouts with this problem, we discovered that the company providing the parts was going out of business. This is when the search began to find a replacement.
At first, I was a reluctant to consider Armstrong because I was not familiar with the company's products, but after an extensive search, Armstrong offered the best in pricing and packaging. The transmitter was shipped within a week and installation was seamless.
The Armstrong X-1000B transmitter is a compact solid-state AM transmitter that can provide up to 1kW of RF power. The dual 600W RF modules provide some extra headroom for up to 1.2kW output. The modules can be removed while the transmitter is operating to keep the station on the air. The unit can be set for three different preset power levels. The modules are capable of up to 150 percent positive modulation.
Performance at a glance |
Up to 1kW output
HD Radio compatible Three power level settings Greater than 90 percent RF PA efficiency Up to 150 percent positive modulation Occupies 7RU |
Each module has a power indicator to show it is operating. The transmitter itself has indicators to show the presence of the bipolar 20V power supplies and a VSWR and interlock fault. A rotary knob selects the power level setting (high, medium, low), or it can be placed in the remote position to change power remotely.
The front-panel multimeter shows PA voltage and current, forward and reflected power, audio level in and the power output of each RF amplifier.
The rear panel includes the 600 ohm active balanced audio input, the ac power connection (190V to 260Vac) and circuit breaker, the RF output on an N connector, the external RF input to inject a digital signal, and the DB-25 remote control connector.
Installation and operation
Because of its small size (7RU), the transmitter can easily fit in an equipment rack. The same rack could house the station's audio processors and other equipment as well. It weighs 96 pounds, so it should not be mounted too high in the rack or the rack could tip. Likewise, I would not mount it too low to keep it away from the floor, where it could take in excessive dirt and dust.
One feature that caught my eye is that there are no air filters on the intake. The transmitter relies on the surrounding air to be clean. Because of this, it's important to clean the unit as needed to maintain proper cooling and air flow. The transmitter itself is very easy to work on. All parts are easily accessible, and the pull-out RF amps simplify access.
The transmitter has built-in lightning protection on the RF output. To function properly, two ground connections must be made: One for the electrical ground and one for the RF ground. These must be terminated at the grounding stud mounted on the back of the transmitter.

All routine maintenance is outlined in the owner's manual, which I found to be well organized and complete. I have only encountered one problem with the transmitter when the power supply developed a problem after six months of use. When I contacted Armstrong, arrangements were made to send a replacement by overnight delivery.
I also like the 24-hour, free technical support from Armstrong. If a problem arises that I am not certain how to fix, a phone call is all it takes.

Cape Grace
Two movable pedestrian bascule bridges provide access from the bustling waterfront to this quiet, mansard-roofed hotel on its own private quay. The sumptuous interiors here (all redone in 2008) include dark-wood antiques, blue-and-white Dutch crockery, and richly patterned fabrics that evoke the region's raw, exotic blooms. The 121 large and luxurious rooms, many with striped wallpaper and botanical prints, have one-of-a-kind artisanal pieces, like traditionally forged iron lamps and whimsical chandeliers made with dangling Delft saucers. The staff is warm and welcoming, whether they're seating you at a handsome secretarial desk for check-in, delivering refreshments poolside, pampering you with African-infused treatments at the spa, or arranging your sail around the harbor on the hotel's own 56-foot yacht.
Insider Tip: Seek out the Library for leisurely reading and a cup of tea—its plush couches and well-stocked shelves make you feel like you're visiting a well-read uncle (who just happens to be a viscount).
Room to Book: Any room on the Table Mountain/Marina–facing side; the nicest are the fourth-floor Rooftop Terrace rooms and penthouse suites. (These don't actually have rooftop access, but they do have private balconies with stunning views.)
Tune in on Wednesdays at 10PM ET for Top Chef: Boston, the 12th season of Bravo's Emmy-Award winning, hit reality series.

Your mobile apps are spying on you
Privacy and AccuracyPrivacy on the web has always been a contentious issue, as the vast majority of users wish to remain anonymous while browsing. However, little attention has been given to the privacy of mobile phone users. Hence I was interested to read the article on mobile apps from Sarah Perez:
Compared to computer use, mobile phones have a greater potential to infringe on your privacy for the following reasons:
- Mobiles are registered to a unique user (legally this is very difficult to avoid)
- Mobiles are rarely shared (though this is more common in Asia)
- No such thing as "Internet cafe for mobiles", user almost always use their own phone
- Mobiles broadcast their position by triangulating with transmitters typically with an accuracy of 500m radius (though with GPS enabled phones this can be much more precise).
Putting the web analytics privacy debate into perspective
Since Google, Microsoft and Yahoo entered the market with their web analytics tools, privacy has certainly received a lot more air/blog time. Essentially, because of the wealth of other data these companies possess, people fear how such information can be used.
That's a healthy fear in my view and its right to question those companies, and others, as to their approach towards end-user privacy. However, the web analytics debates around cookie use and the lesser known Shared Objects, pale compared to what could be happening on your mobile – I use the term mobile rather than iPhone here as I am sure the same issue occurs with other smartphones.

November 15th, 2009 at 12:42 pmAn iPhone WiFi virus called "iPhone/Privacy.A" which steals personal data such as contacts, sms, email, apps has just been detected.
It only effects Jailbreaked iPhones with have not changed the default root password of "alpine".
The Virus software is installed on a PC or MAC and then scans for connected iPhones via WiFi. It does not install anything on the iPhone, but it is able to remotely access the users data.

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/ybenjamin/detail?entry_id=46054A developer has created an iPhone opt-out APP for Pinchmedia, Mobclix, Flurry, Medialets:
http://cydia.saurik.com/package/com.saurik.privacyAS developers are using GA gadgetTracking to monitor usable of their APP, I suspect an APP that blocks GA tracking on iPhones could follow!
Phil Says:
August 21st, 2009 at 6:01 pmBrian,
I agree Developers understand cookies; they know their uses & implications.
However they are not experts in privacy, data storage & protection, this is especially true for small scale applications designed for iPhones.
I presume that a developer wants to know: "How many times has my application being installed, how often is it used & what elements are most popular?" or "how can I resell other iPhone APPs to these users?"
I suspect the storage of IP`s, IMEI, cell phone number could be accidental; as the developer sets the APP to "POST-all" available information. However, personal information can only be stored for the purpose for which it was intended to be used, and it should not be used for different purpose (e.g if a customer buys a mobile APP, then later gets an SMS message with an offer for a new mobile phone contract, this could be seen as data miss-use).
If the developer stores email address or cell phone number, that allow users to be contacted in the real world, then the developer needs to allow for user access requests & needs to be registered with ICO (or equivalent) failure to register could result in a warning & then a £1,000 fine.
Do you think developers are aware of the fine for privacy non-compliance? I would guess, the answer would be no, most developers have not even heard of P3P, let alone privacy laws.
Personally, I think that widget tracking on iPhones (or via tools such as addthis.com on websites) presents more of a problem that 1st, 3rd party or Flash cookies, as they are silently tracking and not being "open" about purpose or data usage.
As you have suggessed above increase transparency is the key, it helps build user trust & long term encourages users to download more APPs without fear the APPs are "doing anything nasty" behind the scenes.
Hope that is useful.
On a comical note, did you see the recent Google Opt-Out Village parody video?
http://mashable.com/2009/08/11/google-opt-out-village/ICO in UK get increase powers to fine from April 2010
http://www.out-law.com/default.aspx?page=10188ICO registration for £35
http://www.dotmailer.co.uk/resource_centre/email_marketing_and_the_law/dpa_data_controller.aspxBTW: the GoogleToolbar has an interesting new feature, if you opt-out of "internet based advertising targeting" which updates the doubleclick cookie, so that if you clear cookies. The toolbar automatically re-drops cookie with the opt-out saved, effectively creating an undeletable cookie.
Brian Clifton Says:
August 20th, 2009 at 12:57 pmChris: Agreed, though the key here is transparency. The web analytics industry, via the Web Analytics Association, has been battling for many years to educate legislators (and end-users) on what cookies really are – benign text files with very little threat to personal identification. The debate on 1st v 3rd party cookies muddies the waters and has dragged the whole thing out – as have the proliferation of Share Objects. My comments on this are below.
At present I see very little debate about mobile apps and certainly there is a lack of transparency.
Phil: Thanks for detailed response and links. I would disagree that developers are unaware of privacy – they are end-users like everyone else. Studies have shown, that the more tech savvy a web user is, the more likely they block/delete their cookies i.e more aware of the privacy implications.
In my view there is no problem in tracking individuals per se, but this should be an opt-in process, as per Google toolbar and any other Google service i.e. transparent. Educating the end-user and allowing them to opt-in, is a very different approach to tracking individuals by default, then allowing them to opt-out should they figure out the implications…
My take on web analytics privacy:
Personally I would like to see 3rd-party cookies deprecated by browsers so the debate becomes simplified and everyone knows where they stand. If a world of only 1st-party cookies existed, the privacy issue of using them, all but disappears.However, Shared Objects (i.e. Flash cookies) are flying completely under the radar as the browser does not control them. In my view that's a no-no. The end-user should have complete control of their privacy settings in one place.
Phil Says:
August 19th, 2009 at 7:46 pmOne more thing…
If these mobile app do store personal data, then the user should be given the option to "opt-out" of tracking at the point of install and be able to change this setting within the apps settings.
This is simular to the Google Toolbar user tracking opt out on web browsers.
On a related note: Phorm the behavioural targeting company which processed raw server logs on an ISP`s network router and used this data to server banner adverts, was force to offer an "opt-out" of tracking service, due to public pressure.
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/04/09/ico_phorm_tougher/ -
Phil Says:
August 19th, 2009 at 1:53 pmIs the cell phones IMEI or telephone number sent in the GET or POST request by these mobile app?
If this is the case then it could allow the user to be found & contact in the real world, which means that the storage of this data falls under EU privacy laws.
Also, IMEI`s can be used to re-enable stolen or blacklisted cell phones so they need to be stored safely.
Secondly, for enquiry based websites tracking of paid search click-2-call is not straightforward due to the lead going offline.
Although solutions such as MongooseMetrics and FreshEgg have made some progress using either the referring source to display an onpage 0845 or sending a GET request to an enquiry page when a number is called; these solutions are not perfect.
A more reliable way of linking offline-to-online would be to use phones IMEI, phoneID, or cell number then map this to the enquiryID.
So to conclude, as the developers that create these APPs are not familiar with privacy laws and there is not regulatory body that governs or has the power to prosecute cell phone privacy violations then this activity will continue.
Also the need to focus on ROI based advertising will fuel the linkup of users mobile data with other data thus, I suspect this enforcement power will only be increase when a when a large privacy violation occurs.
P.S does Apple educate developers on to read a summary of EU privacy laws, or do their APPs approval team certify an APPs is privacy compliant when it is added to the APPs store?
UK opt-out for spam phone calls, for individuals.

August 18th, 2009 at 5:54 pmYou always have to weigh privacy/security with ease of use. People want to use Google search, Google Maps, UrbanSpoon, Where, etc. on their iPhone/smartphone/mobile to find whatever it is they are looking for. US mobile networks are very slow and thus you want to get this information in as few steps as possible. If your apps know where you are and in some cases what you usually search for, or are likely to search for (like Google personlized results), this is very useful. In many cases you can not allow these devices and apps to know your whereabouts but it adds a few more steps, which takes more time, when you actually want to use them.

It's seems I am "Forbidden" in China*. Are open water swimmers subversive? Is Irish humour dangerous? Is it the lascivious way we rub lanolin and suntan over ourselves? Is it the skimpy togs? Is it… the pictures of Gábor?
Are open water swimmers just too individual? Or is the mention of the freedom of open water swimming, how there are few things as truly free as an open water swimmer's mind while they are swimming?

After a person is arrested and taken into custody, they are taken through the booking process. This process consists of providing information to a desk clerk (such as name, social security number, and driver's license information), the taking of a photograph called a mug shot, the collection of the suspect's personal property, and fingerprinting. Often times the police will then search a person. This consists of an invasive search, called a body cavity search, to make sure there are no hidden weapons or drugs. Finally, oftentimes jail officials will do a quick health screen of the person.

Connecticut Mail-Order Health and Beauty Company Penalized for Misleading Ads and Marketing in Iowa
Attorney General Tom Miller says company targeted older citizens and tried to skirt court orders to stay out of Iowa.
"This posed a special threat to older Iowans who might be desperate to find remedies for health problems," said Attorney General Tom Miller.
Miller said that Willows General Store, Inc., of Westport, CT, and its president and owner, Martin Howard of Fairfield, CT, are required to make the payments and to conspicuously note in their tabloid and direct mail ads that their products are "NOT AVAILABLE IN IOWA."
The requirements are contained in a Consent Judgment filed today in Polk County District Court in Des Moines. The defendants also are subject to much higher automatic penalties if they violate the order in the future.
"Willows General Store has been a full-service health fraud outlet for too many Iowans for too long," said Attorney General Tom Miller. "Willows has repeatedly used misleading advertisements in tabloids to exaggerate the effectiveness of their health and beauty products, at least some of which we believe to be totally worthless."
Miller said that his office originally sued Willows and Howard in May of 1996 in connection with fraudulent ads directed at Iowans. At the time, Miller said, Willows sold a wide range of products, including pills and potions to remedy problems related to the bladder, the prostate, baldness, memory loss, obesity, and impotence. The Attorney General alleged that none of these products performed as claimed, and that some of them were total frauds.
"We caught them at it back in 1996 and obtained an injunction to keep them from defrauding Iowans," Miller said. "But they came up with a ruse to continue reaching into Iowan's pockets through misleading ads, and we had to take them back to court for violating the injunction."
Miller said a simple investigative action by his office's Consumer Protection Division determined that Willows was violating the earlier court order.
A Consumer Protection investigator replied to a national tabloid ad and inquired about ordering "Crash Loss and High Burn" diet tablets. "In the first place, the ad should have said NOT AVAILABLE IN IOWA, but it didn't," Miller said. "Second, Willows replied in a letter that our investigator could obtain the product by naming a person in another state who could receive the order for her from Willows. That clearly defied the judge's earlier order banning fraudulent sales in Iowa, and that's why we jumped on this again."
According to Miller, such a subterfuge will be more difficult and riskier now that the injunction has been strengthened, and any further violations will give rise to an automatic penalty of $25,000.
With the order, Willows no longer can market its health and beauty products to Iowans. Officials in Miller's office said they understand the company also is prohibited from marketing to citizens of its home state, Connecticut.
The defendants denied any wrongdoing, but agreed to the penalty, the stronger injunctive language, and the refunds. Most consumers will receive refund checks of either $19.95 or $24.95, for total refunds of $1,870.45. If consumers spent more they will be entitled to a larger refund.
"Willows was involved in cheating vulnerable Iowans by using dramatic but insupportable claims to sell supposed health remedies to the afflicted, and other blatantly fraudulent gimmicks," Miller said. "These are cynical efforts to prey on the desperate and the unwary."
Miller said that consumers have to be constantly on their guard against health fraud, since deception in this area is all too common. He warned consumers to watch out for miracle cures, dramatic testimonials, and exaggerated claims that are clearly "too good to be true."
Miller also advised consumers to consult with responsible health professionals before investing in an unfamiliar medical product or service, or embarking on an unusual course of treatment.

Thanks to Mike (meyermike) of this forum for facilitating my first batch of gritty mix. He took me to a cactus and succulent club meeting at at Tower Hill Botanical Gardens, a lovely place with two big conservatories. He spotted every mealy bug and aphid there. Nevertheless, the air was moist, the several varities of orange trees were were loaded with fruit and someone really had an eye for indoor plant arrangements. It was a great afternoon even if I don't love love love cacti.
Mike had bought crushed granite with him. it got loaded into the back of my van. The turface was not far behind. Then that sweet guy gave me a big bag of fine orchid bark. I mixed it last night (after rinsing, straining, measuring not in that order) and even repotted several plants. It was 1:30 am when I finished and there's still medium scraping along underfoot. So a big thank you to everyone who helped me accomplish this goal. I still have to get the appropriate fertilizer and begin that program. But I got the hardest part done. Marie |
Follow-Up Postings:
I tip my hat and bow to you for going above and beyond, Mike. It's one thing to offer information and advice in the spirit of helping others, but quite another when we take the time to make the physical effort to be of service. Well done! Al |
The day I "met" Mike I knew he was a special person, with a heart like none other. His generosity knows no bounds. We could all take a lesson from his above-and-beyond selflessness. This is truly what it means to care about our fellow human beings. Marie, I'm so glad you live close enough to have found an ally, a true champion of the "gritty" cause! Happy planting to you! :-) And, Mike... you be sure to thank your Mom for instilling such wonderful values in you. I'm sure she already knows her son is one in a million, though. :-) I didn't mention it before... but Mike sent me a surprise care package a while ago, knowing that I couldn't get my hands on any turface. I can't thank him enough for being so generous, so helpful and kind. The idea that we should do unto others as we'd want them to do unto us is certainly not lost on Mike. He knows what it is to be of service to those in need... and I most heartily salute his selfless, positive contributions to the human race. I believe in karma... that what we do comes back to us in spades. And if this is so, Mike has an awful lot of good coming his way. :-) |

Great job, Mike! Mike has been incredibly generous to me, as well, and I can't thank him enough. |

Very nice of you, Mike. The sharing (both tangible and intangible) makes it so much more wonderful for all of us in this crazy world. Thank goodness for plants and generous plant lovers. Gail |

Hi Mike!!! I always told you "good things happen to good people" Way to Go My Friend... Great way to pay it forward... SALUTE!!! p.s. I found Foliage Pro on line...it should be here within the week!! : ) |
Exemplary Mike! Al "tapla" sent me some stuff to get me going, a few years back. I asked him what I owed him. He told me just help someone else. Thats The kind of people we have here. filix. |
I, too, must make mention of the first batch of gritty mix sent to me by Al... just to get me started! He knows how much I appreciate his generosity... The moment I opened that package and saw what it contained, I knew I was about to embark (no pun intended) upon a wonderful, exciting journey into better growing and gardening... and so it has been! I've learned so much from Al, and from everyone who has asked questions and discussed their growing here, within the Container Gardening Forum... I've also learned a lot through emails with the various people I keep in contact with! So many people inspire me... Calistoga Al, Mike, Josh, JoJo, Nancy, and all the folks who have made the leap into better growing through knowledge! I want to thank everyone who's had an impact on my learning, and therefore, my growing abilities! You guys and gals are all special! :-) It all goes to prove that you most certainly CAN teach an old dog new tricks! We're never too old or too smart to learn something new. When we close ourselves off to new or different ideas, we do ourselves a great disservice. I've been alive for 50 years, and I thought I knew plants and growing pretty well... but age doesn't necessarily or automatically bring wisdom... remaining open to learning does. And it's through all of you that I shall keep learning... through your questions and my own, through the answers we receive, and through the experiences we relate... it's really a journey without end, though most enjoyable! |
I've also learned a lot here from all of you guys! One thing I can say is that if you're thinking the same way you were 10-20 years ago, there's a LOT you're thinking wrong. I am very often in the company of horticulturists, some of them doctored, and I spend a lot of time with the owners of a very large nursery operation, which has the distinction of having the current and a past president of The MI Nurseryman's Assn. I can't tell you how many times our conversations have centered on how rapidly things have changed in the hort world in recent years. Old beliefs and methods have been discarded in favor of things new and better, with much being unlearned and relearned. In a recent conversation with a horticulturalist at Dow Gardens here in MI (I was making sure some information I wanted to share about dormancy issues was technically correct), I noted that 3 times in a 15 minute conversation he said "We used to believe/think, but we now know .....", which shows that there are a lot of beliefs in play that shouldn't be, insofar as sound horticulture is concerned - which is one of the reasons Linda-Chalker Scott's myth-busting articles are so popular. I wrote something about changing with the times that had a little nostalgia mixed in. You might be interested in looking it over. Al |
Here is a link that might be useful: More about changes in the hort world
Mike, you are such a sweet and great guy!! Very generous too...I can just go on and on...We are all so proud and lucky to know you :o) |

Hello Everyone.. Just wanted to say "hi" to all of you wonderful, kind, generous people here on this forum... You all have a great way to make everyone feel warm... Your enthusiam and generous spirit are very much appreciated... Thank you... (still stuck here in the northeast snow storm...Uggg) Laura |

And that storm is heading this way! Mind you, not a drop of the 47 inches we have recieved thus far has even budged. I am going to need climbng gear or snow shoes to get anything out of my yard..:-( Hi Laura and everyone. You know why we are all friends? Because you all love kindness and there is no shortage of that between you all! What can we do for him? How can I pay him back? Just as many here have said, and to follow his kind spirit of generousity. In all my hum, almost 40 years of growing, I wished I had met anyone as good as you all here. Everyone one of you! Jodik, your not 50:-))). I always assumed you were a hell of a lot younger with all the work you do! Al, Nancy, Jojo, Jodik, Josh,the other Al,Laura, Rhizo, Jean, Toni, Felix, and recently added Marie along with many others that I might of forgot. But my biggest blessing was meeting Al, since everyone else followed right behind. Thank you! What is concerning is that idebean has not been here for a while. I shall have to check up on her.. Mike |

Hey, everyone! Just wanted to share a little more of Mike's incredible generosity. |
Hi Everyone, I've been reading but not answering.You folks are very talkative and I've found myself short of time the last two weeks.And I'll be busy shoveling snow tomorrow! Got the turface and granite into metal garbage cans in an accessible place (a snowbank not too far from the back door) Not much else to report.Like I said,I do keep an eye on what's happening but won't chime in unless I have something new to say or a question to ask.That's my style!

"This is so wonderful! I was looking for a Weight Watcher's friendly recipe to serve to my meeting-leader mother in place of the usual chocolate decadence that I make. Not only was this lower in fat and calories, but it tasted better, too! We paired it with Lindemans Framboise."

"This was so easy, and so delicious. I did add the mushrooms, and it was amazing. My leftovers were too dry because we could not resist eating up all of the "gravy," so next time I will make sure to eat the roast in it's entirety right out of the pot!"

Ages 12-18; fictionalized biography
"In her new book, Valerie Kinloch investigates how the lives and literacies of youth in New York City's historic Harlem are affected by public attempts to gentrify the community. Kinloch draws connections between race, place, and students' literate identity through collaborative interviews between youth, teachers, longtime black residents, and their new white neighbors. Harlem on Our Minds is a participatory action narrative that makes emerging theories of social ecology real for the high-school English classroom. Vividly drawn lessons show how teachers can engage urban youth in school-based literacy, by linking canonical text, particularly of the Harlem renaissance, to current events."

JaasbeautyØ commits to manufacture the highest-quality beauty products with unique, organic ingredients to distribute globally.
JaasbeautyØ creates its hair-care and skin-care products with the highest-quality natural ingredients, free of harsh chemicals, including ayurvedic ingredients (herbs). The word "ayurveda" means complete knowledge for a long life, which is what we strive to do at JaasbeautyØ.
Our products are created based on specific skin and hair types to add longevity to hair and skin. We strive to produce the best natural organic beauty products posible.
In fall 2009, we were working in the construction world, where we weren't happy or satisfied in our line of work. It was around this time we learned about the Indian herb, Neem.
We were fascinated with our findings about Neem, including some of the benefits it had for keeping skin healthy and glowing. Hungry to learn more, we continued researching and came across many other herbs including Amla, Shikakai, Brahmi and Bhringraj-to name a few.
After our discoveries, we began to wonder how many other people knew about these unique herbs and their benefits. It was then we made the difficult decision to change careers. We were inspired by what we learned and wanted to create cosmetics and beauty products featuring the herbs we found so fascinating.
Change is never easy, but we found the strength to make this major life alteration during a prayer service at our church one Friday evening. During the service, our pastor prayed for those who were beginning new ventures in their lives. This was just the comfort and inspiration we needed. And ever since, God has proven himself faithful in our new journey.
We wanted to create skin-care and hair-care products of excellent quality with unique ingredients. JaasbeautyØ was the result of this dream. We have handled the company with much care and love, ensuring any product that bears our logo is of the highest quality.
From the very beginning, research has been our main objective while creating JaasbeautyØ products. We've traveled to India and spent hours learning about the beautiful herbs and oils the country has to offer. The icing on the cake was when we found Indian suppliers who have the same values we do.
Now we want to create a long-lasting relationship between us and you. In the JaasbeautyØ family, you, the consumer, are very important to us. Thank you for allowing us to serve you with healthy, natural, organic skin-care and hair-care products.
