The word "prestissimo" means "very fast" in Italian. Though the company's cleaners boast an unbridled enthusiasm for work that results in timely job completions for homes and businesses, it doesn't mean they cut corners. The meticulous window cleaners follow a multistep process designed to thoroughly extricate every fingerprint, bug protein, and suction-pawed Garfield afflicting glass and screens. Hard work has always been the cornerstone of the business, which was founded in 2006 by Carl Scott, a college student looking for a challenging, more fulfilling way to put himself through school. In addition to demonstrating upbeat energy, the team also keeps an eye on the environment by using green solutions and fuel-efficient vehicles, causing nearby weeping willows to burst into rounds of applause. That same conscientious attitude is carried with them into customer homes, where they take care to use drop cloths and shoe covers to protect carpet and all other surfaces.
The licensed-and-insured techs at Pro Home Improvement meticulously buttress homes against Mother Nature's wrath with high-quality home-maintenance services that employ local supplies when possible. When they aren't layering walls with siding to defend against hot summers, cold winters, and constantly scheming autumns, their CertainTeed-certified master shingle applicators defend roofs against environmental onslaughts with shingle-plated armor. Their aluminum gutters channel water away from homes, and techs employ cellulose, tripolymer, and spray-foam insulation to reduce energy costs or turn homes into giant thermoses.
Within The Shelving Store's cheery showroom, a cornucopia of boxes, bins, racks, hooks, creative storage solutions, and shelves beg to organize overflowing junk closets, structurally unsound pantries, and unruly woodshop Kewpies. With chrome wire shelving, uptight organizers can festoon messy abodes with functional shiny objects, such as the DIY wine rack to keep potent potables within their proper place. ShoeTrap shoe storage systems provide excellent kennels for foot-wrappers, while the Asian-inspired designs of decorative Zen shelving add a touch of feng shui to a cluttered space. Flustered parents can pick up candy-colored kids' lockers to help their spawn practice escaping from them before high school.
Family patriarch Nordy Rockler opened the doors of his first store in 1954 to supply his fellow craftsmen with knowledge, friendly advice, and a large selection of tools for at-home woodworking projects. Now, the chain of retail outlets brims with more than 20,000 tools and specialized woodworking equipment. Next to a steely rainbow of hinges, casters, and screws, a supply of lumber and exotic hardwoods provides planks for building tree houses or just leaving around as a warning to uncooperative trees. The tenor buzz of power tools operated by newly knowledgeable guests drifts from educational sessions on operating equipment and woodworking.

Campaign finance ruling: Can Congress do anything?
The Supreme Court's campaign finance ruling was based on the US Constitution. This makes it particularly hard for Congress to do anything but modify campaign finance law – public disclosure provisions, for example.
Lauren Victoria Burke/AP
While many Republicans on Capitol Hill hailed this week's Supreme Court 5-to-4 decision striking down restrictions on corporate spending on political campaigns, Democrats are ramping up measures to curb its impact.
For majority Democrats, it's yet another urgent agenda item heading into a charged election season.
"This disastrous decision paves the way for free and unlimited special-interest spending in our elections," said Sen. Charles Schumer (D) of New York at a briefing with Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D) of Maryland on Thursday. "We will not let this decision go unchallenged,"
The two lawmakers chair their party's campaign organizations in the Senate and House. They aim "to reimplement the ban on corporate spending or modify it in a significant way," Senator Schumer said.
Lawmakers huddled with the White House
House and Senate teams met with the White House counsel's office Friday to work out proposals. The Senate Rules and Administration Committee is planning a hearing on these approaches Feb. 2.
One fix under consideration is to pass legislation limiting contributions or expenditures for companies that fit a certain category, such as corporations that retain lobbyists, do business with the federal government, or are a recipient of significant government aid, such as American International Group, Inc. (AIG) or auto companies.
Another set of fixes aim to not ban but to deter corporate political activity.

Police are investigating another alleged case of sexual assault on the Delta College campus in Stockton.
A female student was victimized Monday afternoon in the Locke Two parking lot, police said.
A man walked up to her from behind, pushed the woman over, grabbed her breast and tried to lift up her skirt, according to investigators.
Police said the victim fought back and the man took off.
Officials believe this could be linked to another sexual battery on campus that took place April 19.

Many people consider trackers non-intuitive, but it may be just the

often use with trackers.
IMHO Renoise is good. Available for Linux, unfortunately closed source

use samples for sound generation, but many can also output MIDI. There
are also MIDI-only trackers.

Douay-Rheims (RHE) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 (41-1) <Unto the end, understanding for the sons of Core.> (41-2) As the hart panteth after the fountains of water; so my soul panteth after thee, O God. | 1 As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God. |
2 (41-3) My soul hath thirsted after the strong living God; when shall I come and appear before the face of God? | 2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God? |
3 (41-4) My tears have been my bread day and night, whilst it is said to me daily: Where is thy God? | 3 My tears have been my food day and night, while men say to me all day long, "Where is your God?" |
4 (41-5) These things I remembered, and poured out my soul in me: for I shall go over into the place of the wonderful tabernacle, even to the house of God: With the voice of joy and praise; the noise of one feasting. | 4 These things I remember as I pour out my soul: how I used to go with the multitude, leading the procession to the house of God, with shouts of joy and thanksgiving among the festive throng. |
5 (41-6) Why art thou sad, O my soul? and why dost thou trouble me? Hope in God, for I will still give praise to him: the salvation of my countenance, | 5 Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and |
6 (41-7) And my God. My soul is troubled within my self: therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan and Hermon, from the little hill. | 6 my God. My soul is downcast within me; therefore I will remember you from the land of the Jordan, the heights of Hermon--from Mount Mizar. |
7 (41-8) Deep calleth on deep, at the noise of thy flood-gates. All thy heights and thy billows have passed over me. | 7 Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls; all your waves and breakers have swept over me. |
8 (41-9) In the daytime the Lord hath commanded his mercy; and a canticle to him in the night. With me is prayer to the God of my life. | 8 By day the LORD directs his love, at night his song is with me-- a prayer to the God of my life. |
9 (41-10) I will say to God: Thou art my support. Why hast thou forgotten me? and why go I mourning, whilst my enemy afflicteth me? | 9 I say to God my Rock, "Why have you forgotten me? Why must I go about mourning, oppressed by the enemy?" |
10 (41-11) Whilst my bones are broken, my enemies who trouble me have reproached me; Whilst they say to me day be day: Where is thy God? | 10 My bones suffer mortal agony as my foes taunt me, saying to me all day long, "Where is your God?" |
11 (41-12) Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why dost thou disquiet me? Hope thou in God, for I will still give praise to him: the salvation of my countenance, and my God. | 11 Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God. |

After more than two years, the Washington Monument is reopened to public
POSTED: Monday, May 12, 2014 - 7:00am
UPDATED: Monday, May 12, 2014 - 7:04am
NBC NATIONAL NEWS — The Washington Monument has been closed for more than two years while crews fixed big cracks that ripped through the stone structure during an earthquake in 2011.
They're giving out 1,800 tickets this morning for tours that start this afternoon. "There's no better view in town," said Bob Vogel, Superintendent of National Mall and Memorial Parks.
And starting this morning, it's open to the public again. "It is amazing to see it reopen while we are here," said Chrissy Faber, Tourist.
"Pictures don't do it justice," said Tourist James Muncy.
Repairs are done more than two and a half years after an earthquake left cracks, and debris falling from the monument.
Surrounded by scaffolding for more than a year, it took dozens of stainless steel anchors and more than two and a half miles of sealant to fix it. "The first thing the National Park Service did was literally a stone by stone survey of the monument," said James Perry, National Mall and Memorial Parks.
Plus, the elevator had to be repaired.
555 feet of marble and granite, stone that's 15 feet thick at the base, and only 7 inches at the top. "That small of a tip to be on that big of a monument is actually amazing," said 8th grade tourist Jack Donnelly.
Most of the damage was near the top. "Being able to access work 550 feet in air was really truly a challenge," said Bob Collie, Project Manager, Perini Management Service, Inc.
The new monument has all new fully-accessible exhibits, too. "People who have visual problems will have tactile experiences, and we'll use foreign languages to help tell the story of the Washington Monument," said Bob Vogel, Superintendent of National Mall and Memorial Parks.

At the Sounding Edge: Introducing KeyKit
KeyKit's documentation exists in a collection of HTML pages in the docs directory of the source tree. A tutorial is provided for basic interaction with the program, but you'll simply have to experiment with the many undocumented tools to learn their uses and functions. Fortunately that's more fun than labor, and KeyKit is designed for hands-on experimentation.
A KeyKit mail list also is available. Participation is low volume but steady, and the developer always is ready to help with any KeyKit problems you encounter.
KeyKit is developer Tim Thompson's gift to computer musicians who want to try things a bit different, maybe even a lot different. It has some bumps and it needs much better ALSA support, but its MIDI output is excellent and MIDI file load/save works. Besides, how can anyone resist a program with a toolkit that includes components named boomix, grab bag, snarf box and offset walker?
I love working with KeyKit; it provides an incredible amount of fun, but it's also a powerful application for serious music production. If you're a Linux musician looking for a different way of working with MIDI, you should check out KeyKit.
By the way, this installment completes my "brief" look at MIDI software for Linux. I hope you've enjoyed the view. Next month, I'll show off a bit of what's happening with Csound5, but right now I'm back to the hack. See you next month!
Dave Phillips is a musician, teacher and writer living in Findlay, Ohio. He has been an active member of the Linux Audio community since his first contact with Linux in 1995. He is the author of The Book of Linux Music & Sound, as well as numerous articles in Linux Journal.

While it looks interesting, t
While it looks interesting, the License Agreement does not give me warm fuzzies. As I am most definately not interested in using it for education or research (the acceptable use listed in the agreement), I'm interesting in using it to make noise and music.
keykit licensing is meant to allow use freely
The license is only meant to prevent someone from making
money from distributing or selling keykit itself, or
from using it as the basis of some commercial product.
The license is not meant to restrict the use of keykit
by musicians and programmers for composing or performing
music (or noise), even things for which they get paid.
You own all music (or noise) made with keykit -
clause 3 in the license was specifically added to say that.
You're also free to distribute any keykit code you
write - as an example, see the Geomaestro system, which
is probably the most impressive and innovative use
of keykit - http://www.zogotounga.net/GM/eGM0.html
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

For those of you who frequent the vast sea of social media outlets (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, Snapchat, etc.), you know how great a 'like', 'thumbs up', 'share', 'favorite', or comment can feel. Am I right? It's the acknowledgement of a great photo, a witty saying, or a shared opinion, that validates your existence in a strange way that makes you feel like a million bucks (if you negate this, you either aren't on social media, or you are living in denial - it's ok, we still think you're great anyway)!
We all have that father, brother, sister, mother, niece, nephew, cousin, or friend that is outdoor-to-the-core. You know who I'm talking about…. Uncle Willy who owns every rifle ever made; cousin Beau who has hiked every trail in the Pacific Northwest; sister Susie who out-fishes most grown men. You get the idea. While you on the other hand, much prefer the comfort of your couch with remote in hand, a bowl of lucky charms in the other, while you surf for T.V.'s latest trashy, er… I mean, interesting reality show. That's ok. Be you my friend, own it! We don't all have to be outdoors-people. But, this does present a bit of a predicament when it comes to this special time of year, and finding the right gift. Am I right? What to get {insert relation of choice here} is a bit of a challenge when interests are so varied! So, as the makers of outdoor solutions since 1962, we are here to help! There has to be something on this outstanding (if we do say so ourselves) list of 2014's top 10 gifts for the avid outdoorsman:
Dear Readers:
As you know, we (the people of Tec Labs) are big fans of the outdoors… Some of us are hunters, some are runners, there are those that hike, those that bike, some who fish, some who garden, and the list goes on! Basically, we love the outdoors and all types of greenery. We're staying true to our roots that began and anchor, our business: outdoor solutions since 1962! So imagine my excitement when, I came across an article outlining the benefits of… going OUTSIDE! The perfect subject for a Tec Labs post (am I right?). For the majority of us around here, it doesn't take a lot of convincing to get outside the four walls of the office or home. But, we realize there are some who may need a gentle "push." So here they are, the 11 scientifically proven reasons you should get outside:
Did you know that you are at an increased risk of coming into contact with poison oak or poison ivy during the fall and winter months? "Why no, Caileen, we didn't. How could that be? I thought I only had to worry about that in the summer time." Well, friends, the truth is, autumn leaf pick-up is the perfect opportunity for these poison plants to contaminate you with their rash-causing oil, urushiol (ooo-roo-she-all) as they hide amongst the yard debris you so desperately desire to rid your yard of.
On a recent web search to see what's happening in the land of poison ivy, oak, and sumac I stumbled upon an article about "mysterious rashes" Spartan race participants experienced after an event on July 20th in Marseilles, IL. Initially dozens, and now reportedly hundreds, are suffering from a rash that surfaced post-run.

'Breaking Bad' may be over, but there's still plenty of love to go around for the series at tonight's 2014 Emmy Awards, as Bryan Cranston has just been given the award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series. Other nominees included Oscar winners Kevin Spacey for 'House of Cards' and Matthew McConaughey for 'True Detective.'
Try to work the word "Badonkadonk" into a conversation!
All of the trailers for 'Godzilla' have put emphasis on tone, showcasing the aftermath of epic monster rampages and giving us tons of close-ups of people whose days have been pretty much ruined. But this new TV spot does something a little different, selling the human story behind all of the chaos and destruction. Oh, and it does so while offering our best look yet at Godzilla himself.
Your first look at this upcoming blockbuster is here!
After coming to an end last year, 'Breaking Bad' managed to squeeze out one last "Best Television Series" award, taking the big prize at the 2014 Golden Globes.
Well, we should have seen this coming. Following those long-ago rumors and photos of Bryan Cranston's former 'Malcolm in the Middle' co-star Jane Kaczmarek popping up on the 'Breaking Bad' set, we knew a cameo had to be in the works. That's right, it turns out 'Breaking Bad' was the prequel to 'Malcolm' all along, in a new 'Breaking Bad' alternate ending!
'How I Met Your Mother''s ninth and final season took a surprising step in the right direction with most recent episode "The Lighthouse," but will the last year for Ted, Marshall, Lily, Robin and Barney continue to improve in the weeks to come? All signs point to yes, as CBS releases a new teaser for the all-rhyming episode "Bedtime Stories," and footage of 'Breaking Bad' star Bryan Cranston's return next week!
You may not have seen the last of Walt and Jessie.

Tony Alamo (/əˈlɑːmoʊ/, born Bernard Lazar Hoffman; September 20, 1934)[1][2] is an American religious leader and convicted child sex offender.[3][4][5] He and his late wife Susan are best known as the founders of an organization currently known as Tony Alamo Christian Ministries. The organization is based in and around the towns of Fouke and Alma, Arkansas, United States,[6] and has been referred to as a cult.[2][3][4][7] On July 24, 2009, Alamo was convicted on 10 counts of interstate transportation of minors for illegal sexual purposes, rape, sexual assault, and contributing to the delinquency of minors.[8][9][10][11] On November 13, 2009, he was sentenced to the maximum punishment of 175 years in prison.[12][13] He is currently incarcerated at United States Penitentiary, Tucson in Tucson, Arizona, with the Federal Bureau of Prisons ID number 00305-112.[14]
Bernard Lazar "Bernie" Hoffman was born in Joplin, Missouri,[1][2] to Jewish parents in 1934.[15][16] As a child he moved with his family to Montana, where he was briefly employed as a delivery boy for Helena's Independent Record newspaper.[17] In the early 1960s, Hoffman moved to Los Angeles, California, where he assumed the names Marcus Abad and Mark Hoffman and pursued a career in music, mounting a major publicity campaign to hype singer Bobby Jameson in 1964.[18] He was briefly incarcerated for a weapon-related offense.[2]
Hoffman married Helen Hagan (born Helen Alice Muller) in 1961. On May 25, 1964, the couple had a son, Mark Anthony Hoffman. While married to Helen, he met aspiring actress Susan Lipowitz (born Edith Opal Horn[15]), a Jewish convert to evangelical Christianity who was nine years older than Hoffman and married to a man whom Hoffman later described as a "small time Los Angeles hood."[17] After both Hoffman's and Lipowitz's divorces, Lipowitz and Hoffman married in a 1966 Las Vegas, Nevada, ceremony, and the couple legally changed their names to Tony and Susan Alamo.[2]
Together, the couple established the Tony and Susan Alamo Christian Foundation in 1969 in Hollywood, California.[15] They also manufactured and sold a line of "Tony Alamo" brand sequined denim jackets, a business that eventually landed Alamo in prison for tax evasion.[19] Susan delivered the sermons on the Alamos's syndicated TV program during the 1970s while her husband appeared to sing a gospel song. Susan was later diagnosed with cancer and died on April 8, 1982. Alamo stated she would be resurrected and for six months he had her body on display "while their followers prayed."[20] After 16 years, her body was given to her family.[20]
In 1984, Alamo married Birgetta Oyllenhammer, owner of a clothing design and manufacturing company in Southern California. Tony continued making clothes, under the brand name "Tony Alamo of Nashville." Michael Jackson was one of his customers, owning two bib shirts of this brand.[21] He then married Elizabeth Amrhein. After a custody battle, they lost control of her children. For a time, Alamo had a retail store in Nashville, Tennessee, called The Alamo of Nashville. Alamo was convicted of federal tax evasion in 1994. He completed a prison sentence and was released on December 8, 1998.[citation needed] He then went to a halfway house in Texarkana.[citation needed]
Alamo's followers sometimes distribute tracts of his writings publicly. The tracts predict impending doom and Armageddon and invite the reader to accept Jesus as their savior. The tracts condemn Catholicism, the Pope and the United States government as a Satanic conspiracy behind events such as 9/11, the attack on Pearl Harbor, and the John F. Kennedy assassination. Tracts currently being distributed include a picture of Alamo circa 1986. In a tract distributed shortly before the siege of the Branch Davidian establishment in Waco, Texas, Alamo protested the media's use of the word "compound" to describe the campus of his seminary and the word "cult" to describe his ministry.[citation needed]
In November 2011, Alamo's attorney reported that Alamo had been hospitalized with a heart attack, and that he was suffering from double pneumonia and a liver ailment.[22] On November 19, 2011, Alamo's attorney announced that Alamo had been released from the hospital.[23]
Alamo voted in the 2006 runoff election in Fouke, Arkansas, in support of incumbent Mayor Cecil Smith. This vote was challenged by Miller County Clerk Ann Nicholas on the grounds that Alamo is a convicted felon. Alamo presented a signed letter from probation officer John C. Mooney Jr., stating that Alamo's term of supervision had ended on December 7, 1999. The letter did not explicitly state that Alamo's suffrage had been restored.
The Arkansas Secretary of State's office issued a statement saying that the county clerk did not have the authority to challenge a ballot on those grounds, and Alamo's ballot was ultimately accepted. However, Smith was defeated by candidate Terry Purvis with a tally of 216-151.[1][24]
On September 20, 2008, federal and state investigative agents raided the Arkansas headquarters of the ministry, which is a 15-acre (6.1 ha) compound near Texarkana, Arkansas,[25] as part of a child pornography investigation.[26][27] This investigation involved allegations of physical and sexual abuse and allegations of polygamy and underage marriage. According to Terry Purvis, mayor of Fouke, Arkansas, his office received complaints from former ministry members about allegations of child abuse, sexual abuse and polygamy since the ministry established itself in the area. In turn, Purvis turned over information about the allegations to the FBI.[28] Alamo denied the child abuse allegations.[29] On September 25, 2008, Alamo was arrested by Arizona police and FBI agents in Flagstaff, Arizona, on a federal warrant out of Texarkana, Arkansas, federal court (case number 08-40020) on charges that he transported minors (as early as 1994)[30] over state lines for sexual activity in violation of the Mann Act.[31] On October 17, 2008, he pleaded not guilty, and his case was set for trial.[32]
On October 22, 2008, Alamo's former followers testified in court during a preliminary hearing that Alamo had practiced polygamy and had taken an eight-year-old girl as a wife.[33][34] On December 2, a judge in Arkansas unsealed a federal indictment that included eight new charges against Alamo. The 74-year-old Alamo, who remained jailed while awaiting trial, originally faced two charges of taking minor girls across state lines for sex. The eight new counts were similar and involved four new alleged victims.[35] His trial began on July 13, 2009, and on July 24, 2009, Alamo was found guilty on all ten federal counts.[36][37]
On July 28, 2009, shortly after his conviction, Tony Alamo again made headlines by calling himself "just another one of the prophets that went to jail for the Gospel".[38] He was sentenced to 175 years in prison on November 13, 2009.[39] On January 13, 2010, each of five women who testified to sexual abuse by Alamo was awarded US$500,000 in restitution, for a total judgment of US$2.5 million.[citation needed]

By David Glenn Cox
Every day we see the signs of massive systemic corruption in our society. It makes the day hard to take and sometimes, it makes it easy to see why millions of Americans focus on entertainment, news or sports; it's just so much easier on the mind. Just take the blue pill and zone out, and damn it, sometimes I wish that I could.
As time goes by we see layer upon layer of laws restricting our rights while at the same time the courts, that last bastion of our freedom, peel away our constitutional protections until we are left with a naked justice system that will provide you only with as much justice as you can afford to purchase. The Supreme Court last year sided with former Enron CEO Jeffrey Skilling, leading to a possible invalidating of Skilling's 24-year prison sentence. Mark my words, Skilling will walk; he has a bank of high-powered attorneys working on his case round the clock. They've even argued that Skilling couldn't get a fair trial because a Houston newspaper once wrote a disparaging editorial about him. His case went from conviction to the Supreme Court in three years; now, Buddy, that's service!
In Louisiana, we see Judge Feldman, a Federalist Society judge who doesn't believe in legislating from the bench, overruling the President of the United States and the health and environmental concerns of the people. Judge Feldman's holdings in oil company stock give the perception of impropriety and that is enough. Seven of sixteen federal judges in Louisiana had recused themselves because of their relationship with the state's oil companies. It's a private club, judges that own oil companies and oil companies that own judges.
Harry Truman once said, "Whenever you put a man on the Supreme Court he ceases to be your friend." Dick Cheney never heard of that and neither did Anton Scalia. The truth is that a justice can still be your friend and you can still go hunting together but only after you leave office. On the foundation of a fair and unbiased judiciary rests the base of representative government. Without it, all else shifts and erodes, tilts and leans.
The rot is systemic and moves from root to branch. It's wise to always remember that when you blow the whistle on a nest of rats, you had best know who those rats really are.
In 2001 Bradley Birkenfeld went to work for UBS Bank in Geneva, Switzerland, and Bradley Birkenfeld is no angel by any stretch of the imagination. He is everything that you would expect a corporate international banker to be. The son of a neurosurgeon, Birkenfeld earned a master's degree in business administration and worked for State Street Bank in Boston before joining UBS. Birkenfeld knew the way the game was played and was gladly playing along.
He was working for the rich and powerful; he managed one account for a billionaire worth $200 million. He carried with him at all times an encrypted laptop computer to prevent prying eyes having a look, he lied to customs officials about the reasons for his international travels. He would call his trips entertainment when he was actually delivering checks from Europe to the Virgin Islands, Panama and Hong Kong or setting up sham corporations and tax shelters. He once delivered profits back to a customer by putting diamonds in a toothpaste tube.
He was living the good life, as UBS sent him to hop scotching the globe to art shows and yachting regattas looking for the rich, who were looking to dodge the tax man. It really didn't matter that Bradley Birkenfeld held no Securities and Exchange Commission license. Birkenfeld was like a Mafia Don worried about a traffic ticket, it was a matter too small to be concerned with.
In 2005, Birkenfeld claimed that he learned that UBS policies had violated an agreement with the IRS. I find that story just a little hard to swallow, that a jet-setting international banker dealing with the super rich looks down at his dog one morning and says, "Oh garsh, Sandy, what have we gotten ourselves into?"
Birkenfeld resigned from UBS in October 2005 and provided written whistle blower complaints to the Head Counsel for UBS, and other UBS senior executives, regarding the illegal practices of U.S. international business. I'm feel certain that his complaint read something like this: "After four and a half years of smuggling diamonds, laundering money and setting up illegal overseas tax shelters, it has suddenly come to my attention that we might be violating the law here. My master's degree in business administration tells me something is amiss and just isn't quite right around here. So I'm quitting and not only do I quit, but I'm gonna tell on you, too! So just give me my bonus check and I'm out of here, never to return!"
Yes, Mister Birkenfeld and UBS finally reached an out of court settlement on his bonus check. UBS did their own private investigation into Birkenfeld's accusations and the company determined that there was no evidence of wrongdoing. "We don't know what that guy is talking about?"
Being true to his word Bradley Birkenfeld showed up on the front steps of the Justice Department, with a brown paper sack lunch under his arm, and told his dog Sandy, "Now you wait here for me Sandy while I go tell these nice people the truth." Sandy said, "Arf!" which is pretty much all that Sandy ever says.
Sandy waited and waited for almost two years as Mr. Birkenfeld told the government everything that he knew about everybody that he knew. And every time Bradley Birkenfeld would ask for immunity the government would answer, "Tell us more." Mr. Birkenfeld wanted immunity from prosecution, but he also wanted the whistle blower award of 15 to 30 percent of all the taxes collected, and with the people Bradley Birkenfeld was singing about, that was a lot of cheese. So much money in fact; that some people feared for his safety. In August 2007, Birkenfeld's attorney e-mailed prosecutors to say, UBS suspected Birkenfeld was talking to investigators, putting him "truly at risk" because the case was "threatening some very powerful people."
"They told me they wouldn't prosecute me," Birkenfeld said. "Kevin Downing (IRS lead prosecutor) told me that in the first meeting. They refused to give me a subpoena or immunity until they saw that I was the real deal, as they said. They kept changing the rules of the game and finally said 'We won't give you immunity.'"
You see, this is America; and when you start stepping on the toes of billionaires and you might get kicked in the head. Billionaires own all sorts of things in America, like congressmen and senators. So as a prosecutor you have to move very carefully. This could be the biggest case of your career or it could be the last big case of your career.
The IRS wrote Birkenfeld's attorney on Sept. 6, 2007, to say that Birkenfeld had "terminated his proffer with the Tax Division in regards to alleged criminal conduct at UBS." They also stated that they declined to grant immunity and could continue the proffer if Birkenfeld chose to do so. Or Birkenfeld could continue to talk, but immunity was now off the table, and Sandy said, "Arf."
Birkenfeld was now a man alone, a man with many powerful enemies and few friends. All Bradley Birkenfeld ever wanted was to tell the truth, that and to collect the estimated $125 million reward for turning everyone in. That was the minimum, the reward could go as high as $200 million or even higher!
Birkenfeld's next stop was at the office of Senator Carl Levin of Michigan, head of the Senate's Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. From there the chips began to fall as the things that Birkenfeld was saying were apparently true.
It was Birkenfeld's testimony which was behind the UBS decision to pay the IRS $780 million and admitting that the company was actively engaging in tax evasion. UBS also agreed to turn over all information on two hundred and fifty other secret accounts. One hundred and fifty people are being investigated and sixteen were charged by prosecutors. Two UBS bankers and three others bankers were accused of hiding assets overseas. All together, more than $852 million has been collected by the IRS. Oh wait, did I say sixteen people were criminally charged?
That's incorrect, it wasn't sixteen, it was seventeen as prosecutors charged one Bradley Birkenfeld with fraud for not being truthful about his dealings with California billionaire real estate developer Igor Olenicoff. Olenicoff was given two years probation for his crime and had to pay $52 million in back taxes but Bradley Birkenfeld was given a sentence of forty months in federal prison.
In fact, Bradley Birkenfeld was the only person to go to prison for these crimes. He is no angel and certainly no saint; he is a rat caught in a trap. He was placed in prison to discourage his attempts to claim the IRS reward, but more than just money, Bradley Birkenfeld was sent to jail as a warning to the other rats. A direct warning to any other potential whistle blowers, to anyone on the inside with the dirt on the ringleaders, the deep throats or the Joe Wilsons.
It would be hard to watch someone like Bradley Birkenfeld to walk away with $200 million, but it is even harder to see him sit in a jail cell. He has asked Barack Obama for a pardon but that will only happen when pigs fly. They say that crime doesn't pay, but you can't prove that by Birkenfeld. He was doing great with crime until he tried telling the truth and all Sandy could say was "Arf!"

Ethiopian co-pilot gets a lawyer
Comment on this storyGeneva - A Swiss court has ordered the co-pilot of a hijacked Ethiopian Airlines plane held in custody pending further investigation and appointed him a defence counsel.
The man, who has previously been identified as 31-year-old Ethiopian Hailemedhin Abera, is accused of hijacking the Rome-bound plane and forcing it to land in Geneva on Monday.
None of the 200 passengers and crew members were injured in the incident.
Swiss federal prosecutors said in a statement on Thursday that investigators are trying to get "a complete picture of the events during the plane hijacking", but didn't provide further details.
Prosecutors also said the plane was released to Ethiopian Airlines on Wednesday.

PBA Board Vice Chairman Eliezer "Ely" Capacio, representing Petron Blaze, passed away early Sunday morning at the Asian Hospital, less than a day after suffering a ruptured aneurysm.
He was 58.
Capacio is the only PBA league personality to have risen from the ranks of player to become assistant coach, champion PBA head coach, team Governor and PBA Board Chairman, a post he held during the 2005-06 season.
He was lined up to become PBA Board Chairman anew next season to succeed current Chair Ramon Segismundo of Meralco, a responsibility he would have relished doing again despite his many tasks as San Miguel Corporation executive specifically as Vice -President and Human Resources head of Purefoods.
"It's always a pleasure for me to repay the game and the league that has been good to me," Capacio was once quoted to have said.
"3 yrs w/ Ely in PBA was a blessing. A true friend n fought for what is right not necessarily the political or convenient route. RIP, bro !" Segismundo posted on his Twitter account
The 6-foot-6 Capacio played a total of eight seasons for Tanduay from 1979 to 1985, averaging 5.9 points and 5.5 rebounds in a total of 324 games.
He was among Purefoods' assistant coaches when the TJ Hotdogs entered the league in 1988 and took over the head coaching reins when Baby Dalupan resigned after the 1991 Open (First) Conference.
Born in Palo, Leyte, Capacio steered Purefoods to its first all-Filipino title right in his first conference as head coach, beating Sarsi in the 1991 All-Filipino Conference best-of-five Finals, three games to two.
As early as the semifinals of that conference, Capacio had boldly predicted the Hotdogs would win the championship if they reached the Finals.
"Palagay ko pumasok lang kami sa Finals, amin na ang korona," he was quoted to have said.
Sarsi, coached by a young Yeng Guiao, however, took 1-0 and 2-1 leads but Purefoods went on to win its first all-Pinoy crown after losses in the Finals of the same conference in each of the franchise's first three seasons.
Capacio had a chance to lead the Hotdogs to back-to-back all-Filipino titles the following season but lost to San Miguel Beer in the best-of-seven Finals, 4-2.
Capacio wound up with a 45-48 win-loss record in five conferences as head coach of the now-San Mig Coffee franchise before stepping down and being replaced by Chot Reyes at the start of the 1993 season. Capacio then devoted his time to the corporate world at San Miguel Corporation.
"Father" Ely, as he was fondly called by his friends and peers after having attended the seminary before deciding to take a different course at Dela Salle University, is the elder brother of current GlobalPort assistant coach Glen. They are the only brothers in PBA history to win a championship together – one as head coach and the other as player in that 1991 All-Filipino Conference Purefoods title romp. (FM)

Simple note storage
Create and store ideas and notes with this simple filing system.
Tolon NoteKeeper provides a simple set of tools for putting ideas and images into a note filing system. While the aim is good, we were turned off by the layout and felt lukewarm about the whole program.
The note-keeper's interface was a major hurdle for us to overcome. The screen was very simple and not too cluttered, but it provided no direction on how to get started. Even after reading the Help file's tutorial, we still needed to play around for a few minutes to find our footing. This was a frustrating way to start, but we were then able to move forward. The program's functionality definitely didn't blow us away, but it performed its advertised tasks fairly well. We were able to write simple notes and input images and save them into a file tree. We were able to quickly bring them back for later review. The program didn't offer any special features, though the whole process could have used a toolbar with command icons; without one, we had to constantly right click and surf through various commands to create our little file tree of notes. While everything worked, we found navigating the program to be a chore and we constantly thought of similar programs we'd tested that worked better.
Tolon NoteKeeper is a freeware program. It left behind desktop items and folders upon uninstall. We do not recommend this program.

Well, if it's deleted from the server there's usually no way to retreive it. I suppose/hope you have a copy on your computer? If not then your only option will be to recreate it from scratch.
You may have some luck to find some downloaded files of your site in the browser cache (if you've visited it before). Don't visit any more sites with that browser for now! You'll overwrite the cache and the files will be lost. I had a similar problem recently. The files the browser loads are stored somewhere on your hard disk. In Internet Explorer there is a directory called "temporary internet files" or something like that, which you can browse. In Firefox it's a little different. You need to typeabout:cache
into the address bar and then you can list the cache entries and may find the cached files of your site to retreive them.
As last option consult archive.org and look if the internet archive has entries for your site. If that doesn't help then you can't do anything other than recreating your site from scratch. Good luck.

It's always good to keep a folder on your desktop with all the files of your website in it, so for losses like this, you can restore them.

Also if the web server belongs to you you could look into data recovery software.
You can not say you know how to do something, until you can teach it to someone else.

if you were uploading then,...
if you were uploading then it is possible the new upload contained another index page and therefore your site is still there but your browser can not access it.
Also, do you have web hosting? contact your company and see if they will restore your site from XX day.
Most companies clearly state they do not keep backups of client sites, But Most do, I say the same and I keep a 7 day back up of client sites for just these occasions!

Connected with his ongoing exhibit 'Evolution of Type,' the 'Fossilized' Typeface By Andreas Scheiger sees traditional letters of the English language transformed into prehistoric artifacts in a bid to help gain a better understanding of the history behind text.
The 'Fossilized' Typeface By Andreas Scheiger helps to add another dimension of origin that's attached to the exhibit as a whole, which has been seen in the past with other characters that appear on the operating table or with their 'skin' removed revealing bones and flesh within. It makes you begin to wonder about language itself while perusing through the different interpretations of text; how did we come to create our complex form of communication and how has it evolved to what it is today? Whatever you think, 'Fossilized' Typeface By Andreas Scheiger will have you pondering until his next release.

Roosevelt Row
The Roosevelt Tavern
Roosevelt Row
Phoenix, Arizona, 85004, United States
Matt Pool spent years fighting the city in order to open this watering hole. In Phoenix it's all but impossible to operate a business within a historic building, but Pool was determined to save the 100-year-old house and turn it into a saloon preferred by the local arts community. He opened his doors in 2007, and these days you'll see downtown lawyers alongside musicians chatting over warm, salty Virginia peanuts, grilled sandwiches, and hand-twisted soft pretzels.
Tip: Try the Roosevelt House Beer, a pale ale crafted especially for the tavern; Four Peaks (another favorite local haunt across town) brews it.

« Ponytail. Or not. | Main | Does Your Event Own Its Twitter ID? »
April 19, 2009
Let me get this out of the way first: I lopped it off. Turns out I really didn't even have to rationalize the haircut. It's just one less complication in life. Can't tell you how many times I've searched the house high and low for a small rubber band. No regrets and the staff thinks I look cuter.
So I went on an interview Friday. Good company. Owner is a very nice guy and knowledgeable about his product. And I admire his conviction to sticking to specializing in one small corner of the exhibition world. I could sell it.
But at the end of the day, it's comes down to this being one of those product categories that doesn't really have much of a barrier to competition and isn't changing the playing field. It's just your ability to sell vs. your competition's ability to sell basically the same thing. That turns on some people. And it's certainly why excellent salespeople are compensated excellently.
It may very well come down to working just for the money at some point. But over the past decade, I've been fortunate enough to find myself in situations where it wasn't just the money. It was making a difference and an impact, from both product and marketing perspectives. No blowing smoke up anyone's butt. That's not necessary when you're too busy changing the entire game for your market. Did it at Passkey. Did it with Aldo Coffee. In some respects we even did it at Coverings. And before that, the Internet World shows.
In each case, anyone else in that market had to react to what we were doing. In each case we had many more customers who wouldn't think of going elsewhere because the falloff in value and benefits received was simply too great. The product delivered. Customers were allies, not adversaries to conquer.
Where's that gig?
08:56 PM | Permalink
I wish I had the ability to accept jobs that weren't about the money. Constantly trying to constantly sell something can be very difficult if you don't genuinely believe in the product.

But it's a good recommendation - will look into it.

Interesting points Rich. I reminded me that there are a lot of startups working on social networking for the event industry.
Trouble is, they know online social networking well, but not so much when it comes to the trade show business.
I think there would be a nice fit for you at one of those companies trying to drag the trade show organizer into the 21st century.

.- Officials at the San Jose Prison north of Mexico City have granted permission for the first marriage to take place in the prison chapel on March 18.
According to the Archdiocese of Mexico City, prison warden Nicolas Rosendo Garcia granted permission for a prisoner identified as Jose Miguel and his fiancé Luz Maria to celebrate their marriage dressed in wedding clothes and to hold a reception afterward.
The marriage will be celebrated by Father Francisco Guzman, the director of Prison Ministry for the Archdiocese of Mexico City, who was also responsible for opening chapels at various prisons in the Mexican capital.
The couple decided to get married in the Church after twelve years together and two children, despite being physically separated. They both received marriage preparation from prison ministry leaders, who said that even though the couple lives apart, their spiritual union is strong and "they love each other a lot, they love each other with freedom."
"For both of them, the greatest love they have is their children. Love is commitment and sacrifice, and they understand that well," prison ministry leaders said.
