LOS ANGELES - A US judge has ordered a man behind a defaming film of Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessing be upon him) that triggered violent protests around the world to remain in custody over charges of violating his probation on a bank fraud conviction.
"My client was not the cause of the violence in the Middle East, said attorney Steven Seiden, the lawyer of Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, Agence France-Presse (AFP).
Clearly it was pre-planned, that was just an excuse and a trigger point.

Nakoula, who goes now by the name of Mark Basseley Youssef, appeared in court on Wednesday, October 10, to see whether he violated his probation on a bank fraud conviction.
Wearing white jail garb, he was escorted into court by five US marshals, his hands shackled in front of him and a pair of reading glasses perched on his head, according to Reuters.
The Egyptian-born man is believed to be behind an anti-Prophet movie that triggered massive protests around the world last month.
Titled Innocence of Muslims, the movie portrays the Prophet as a fool, philanderer and a religious fake.
The offensive material sparked a torrent of anti-American protests around the world last month that left score of people dead.
The violence coincided with an attack on US diplomatic facilities in Benghazi that killed four Americans, including the US ambassador to Libya.
Nakoula was arrested last month and kept in custody for violation his probation on a bank fraud conviction.
Prosecutors have said they could seek to have Youssef, 55, sent back to prison for up to two years if he is found to have violated his probation.
Under the terms of his release from prison last year, Nakoula is barred from using aliases without the permission of a probation officer and was restricted from accessing the Internet.
He is facing eight possible probation violations, including the use of aliases, prosecutors said.
New Hearing
A new hearing was set for November 9 to see whether the anti-prophet filmmaker violated his probation terms.
"We've denied all the accusations today, a hearing date has been set, and we'll let the matter work itself out in court," his lawyer said.
Nakoula has been known to federal law enforcement for other reasons long before the anti-prophet video emerged.
He pleaded guilty to bank fraud in 2010 and was sentenced to 21 months in prison, to be followed by five years on supervised probation, court documents showed.
He was released from prison in June 2011, shortly before production began on the video, prison records show.
He was accused of fraudulently opening bank and credit card accounts using Social Security numbers that did not match the names given on applications, according to a criminal complaint.
Nakoula also pleaded guilty in 1997 to possession with intent to manufacture methamphetamine and was sentenced to a year in jail, Sandi Gibbons.
The probation issues were the latest of Nakoula's legal woes.
An actress who says she was duped into appearing in the anti-prophet film has sued him over the matter, identifying him as the film's producer.
Cindy Lee Garcia also named YouTube and its parent company Google Inc as defendants in the case.Google has refused to remove the film from YouTube, despite pressure from the White House and others to take it down, though the company has blocked the trailer in Egypt, Libya and other Muslim countries.

****Sachas hotel- Manchester****
**Location/Getting there**This hotel is located in Tibb street which is a 2 minute walk from Piccadily Gardens or 10 minutes away from Chorlton street bus station.The Train station is a little bit further away say maybe a twenty minute walk but i don't think that this is that bad .You can also get a tram from Piccadily gardens and this goes to quite a few places.You could also get a taxi to the hotel but i am not sure what parking is like if you were to take your own car.
**Hotel/Room**One problem with the hotel was that the lift was broken and the signs to the service one weren't that clear,so i ended up dragging my suitcase up four flights of stairs and my suitcase aint light!!!. The other thing i didn't like was that the room i had didn't have a window,which i thought was weird.I like looking out the window for the view/to check what the weather is like before i decide what to wear.The room itself was very neat and tidy and came with tea/coffee facilities .The shower was reasonable ,not great but good enough for a hotel.My room didn't have a mini bar but i don't know if this is the case in them all.
**Price**I paid £100 for 2 nights through hotelclub.com(if anyone wants referred feel free to ask :-)).Prices seem to start from £55 depending on what time of the week or the month you book.Also if you do it through the club i have mentioned they also give you *member dollars* which can be used for money off future hotel bookings. I would say this is a great hotel as it is cheap ,the staff are nice and is in a wonderful location.

Adobe Program provides independence for domestic violence survivors
By ASA HESS-MATSUMOTO / Santa Rosa Correspondent
For many women who live through domestic violence in Sonoma County, the road to recovery begins with the YWCA.
That nonprofit agency maintains a safe house and preschool for families in crisis, but the help doesn't stop there. Through the Adobe After Care Program, clients receive help rebuilding their lives for up to two years after they leave the safe house.
Sometimes, however, that first step can be intimidating.
"You kind of get into the victim role," said Diane, a single mother of two who came to the YWCA four years ago. For confidentiality reasons, she declined to reveal her last name. "It's never easy to look on our own shortcomings. You start to make up excuses as to why you shouldn't call."
Restarting a life from a place of pain isn't easy. Many of the YWCA's clients fleeing domestic violence bring a host of concerns, among them joblessness, homelessness and child custody hearings. While YWCA advocates bring an enormous amount of resources, it's not uncommon for clients' issues to persist after their eight-week stay ends at the organization's Safe House.
Women leaving the confidential refuge are provided with an opportunity to enroll in the Adobe program. Like physical therapy after an emergency room visit, the program provides a continuation of services — including child advocacy, legal support and therapy — for up to two years after someone graduates from the safe house.
"We won't abandon them," said Sonoma County YWCA CEO Madeleine Keegan O'Connell. "It's saying, 'Okay, we've brought you to this juncture to begin creating your own home, and we'll be with you through that.'"
Begun in 1999 by Jennifer Lake, YWCA director of operations, the Adobe program was conceived as a partnership with the Sonoma County Housing Authority as a way to subsidize the cost of permanent housing for clients. While that service has since been discontinued, the Adobe program has expanded to cover individualized care through one-on-one meetings between clients and their case managers.
"It's a stepping stone to get them to be sustainable in that two-year period of time," Lake said. "When they come to us they are in a state of crisis. We make sure that whatever challenge they come up with, they are constantly going to get the support they need."
Despite a shrinking budget over the years, the YWCA of Sonoma County has been committed to maintaining the Adobe program. The results of ongoing support speak for themselves: nearly 70% of the families who graduate from the YWCA Safe House enroll in the program; less than 2% are known to have returned to their abusers.
At the annual Adobe project picnic in June, there was much to be celebrated as the women, many of them single mothers, recounted their victories. One had secured her certified nursing assistant license. Another said she began paying rent without assistance. Each announcement was both a triumph and a reassurance to the others that things can get better in time.
Having just completed the Adobe Program, Diane had this advice for other women who are just beginning the process.
"It always feels like you're alone," she said. "Realize that reaching out, although hard, is what you need to do to get out of where you're at. It's the first step to healing the hurt."
For more information about theAdobe program or other programs for survivors of domestic violence, contact the YWCA at 303-8400 or ywca.org/sonomacounty.

Woo Hoo!! Nice looking venue there Norma.
Norma, Maybe I am missing something but in the last photo there is blue liquid in the glass, what kind of wine is Blue?
Just finished running the Deere over the lawn and having a nice cold one and a brandy to start my 13 days away from work!!! jon
Norma, I would love to try a blueberry wine, I grow blueberries in the garden and never thought of them as stock for wine. I guess because we eat them so fast that I can barely get enough to take us thru the winter let alone make wine.

Evidently Mr. Barr has never had to play dodge and weave with idiot drivers who are so preoccupied with their cellphones that they're unable to concentrate of minor tasks - like driving. There is nothing so urgent that a driver can't take a minute or so and pull over to the side of the road, or better yet - shut the damn phone off. I'm not in favor of a nanny state, either, but I do expect government agencies to enact whatever laws are necessary to reduce the likelihood of mayhem caused by those who aren't smart enough to realize that driving a car requires their full attention.

What's this?HSUS Lawsuit: Friedlander v. Brunner (2010)
Source: Humanewatch.org | May 3, 2010
In Friedlander v. Brunner, the Humane Society of the United States sought to invalidate an Ohio law holding that only residents of the state can gather signatures to put a legislative initiative on the ballot. The suit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio.
Beatrice M. "Bee" Friedlander, a Michigan lawyer who serves as Managing Director of the Animals & Society Institute (and was a past president of Michigan's "Attorneys for Animals" group), was the first named plaintiff.
HSUS's stated reason for litigating this in late April 2010 is that it had "filed a Form 15 with the Ohio Secretary of State, stating that it will provide compensation to an individual or entity for supervising, managing, or otherwise organizing an effort to obtain signatures on a statewide initiative petition."

To help him get Tropic Thunder down on the page, Ben Stiller drafted actor Justin Theroux ( The Ten ), who earns his first screenwriting credit with this satire. And did he ever earn it—developing the comic concept with Stiller over the course of a decade.
"Yeah, it took a long time. You'd have to ask Ben exactly what the hard number is," Theroux says. "It had been in his head; I think he waited about 10 years before he got it in my head, too.
"I had written some pages for a long-since-deceased screenplay that I showed Ben ages and ages and ages ago when we first got to know each other. And he was really encouraging about them," Theroux recalls. "He was sort of my first and biggest champion [as a screenwriter]. And then he pitched this idea to me, what this movie would be, and we sort of riffed on it over coffees and lunches and dinners. And it just got funnier and funnier, so we started writing scenes, sending them back and forth."
Neither Stiller nor Theroux had ever been in a Vietnam War movie, but the latter says that much of the humor of Tropic Thunder nevertheless came out of their experiences as actors.
"I think it came out of the earnestness with which actors can say the stupidest things. And I include myself as one of those actors," Theroux says with a laugh. "And I think anytime you write comedy from a real place, it's going to be funny. With the actors in Tropic Thunder, there's a lot of very earnest material that is very funny.
"The hardest part was trying to make the jokes not feel like they were inside jokes or jokes that only people in the entertainment industry would connect with," says Theroux. "There was a lot of stuff that we thought might go over people's heads, but the TMZ- and Entertainment Tonight- and Access Hollywood-type shows are so invasive on movie sets now that they actually have done our work for us. The American public actually is very educated on how films operate, more educated and more knowledgeable than we thought."
After brainstorming the basic characters and plot of the picture with Theroux, Stiller reached out again—this time to Etan Cohen, a Harvard grad who had parlayed a summer internship at MTV into writing gigs on Beavis and Butt-Head and King of the Hill before collaborating with those shows' creator, Mike Judge, on the script for the cult comedy Idiocracy.
"I came on in about the end of 2002," Cohen says. "Ben and Justin had a lot of ideas and some of the characters, and they wanted the story filled out and the rest of the ensemble filled out—to make it into a script."
His chief challenge was balancing what was then an overabundance of colorful characters. "Absolutely the biggest challenge of that script," Cohen confirms. "Because you're herding so many people. Actually, there were other drafts where there were, like, seven, eight, nine main guys. That was way too crowded; we have to thin it out to the best guys. Part of who won out was who was funniest, but part of the challenge was to also ensure that, when you have such big characters, guys who can seem bigger than life, you want to make sure that you can still root for them, that you can still care about them as human beings, that—in this case—you want them to survive."
Those making the cut included Tugg Speedman (Stiller), Kirk Lazarus (Downey), Jeff "Fats" Portnoy (Black) and Alpa Chino (Jackson), the stars of not only the movie-within-the-movie of Tropic Thunder but also a mockumentary about the making of the movie-within-the-movie that Theroux wound up writing and directing.
"It's called Tropic Thunder: Rain of Madness," Theroux reveals. "To make the terrible Thunder joke, we needed to make it 'Rain.' It's a side-by-side companion piece which will be either online or on the DVD—or both—that chronicles the madness of the making of the movie.
"It's just one more layer. The characters are all the same and they behave the same in the documentary, but it has a completely different tone. It's sort of this Werner Herzog, Germanic, sober, overly earnest film about the making of a war movie," Theroux chuckles. "So we're sort of pulling a Herzog-meets- Hearts-of-Darkness."

Reporters Without Borders (RWB) is a French-based international non-governmental organization that advocates freedom of the press and freedom of information. This organization, which has consultant status at the United Nations.,[1] was founded in 1985, by Robert Ménard, Rony Brauman and the journalist Jean-Claude Guillebaud.[2] Jean-François Julliard has served as Secretary General since 2008.[3] English speakers also commonly refer to the organization by its French name, Reporters Sans Frontières, or its French acronym, RSF.[4] Its head office is in the 2nd arrondissement of Paris.[5] According to its own mission statement, Reporters Without Borders
Contents |
RWB was founded in Montpellier, France, in 1985. At first, the association was aimed at promoting alternative journalism, but before the failure of their project, the three founders stumbled on disagreements between themselves.[2] Finally, only Robert Ménard stayed and became its Secretary General. Ménard changed the NGO's aim towards freedom of the press.[2]
Reporters Without Borders states that it draws its inspiration from Article 19 of the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights, according to which everyone has "the right to freedom of opinion and expression" and also the right to "seek, receive and impart" information and ideas "regardless of frontiers." This has been re-affirmed by several charters and declarations around the world. In Europe, this right is included in the 1950 Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms.
Reporters Without Borders is a founding member of the International Freedom of Expression Exchange, a virtual network of non-governmental organizations that monitors free expression violations worldwide and defends journalists, writers and others who are persecuted for exercising their right to freedom of expression.
In 2005, Reporters Without Borders shared the European Parliament's Sakharov Prize for freedom of thought with Nigerian human rights lawyer Hauwa Ibrahim and Cuba's Ladies in White movement.[6] In 2009, Reporters Without Borders received the Roland Berger Prize for Human Dignity along with Shirin Ebadi.[7]
Through its correspondents, RWB conducts investigations of press freedom violations by region or topic, such as the Internet: it releases annual reports on each country as well as the Press Freedom Index. If necessary, it will send a team of its own to assess working conditions for journalists in a certain country. Reporters Without Borders' primary means of direct action are appeals to government authorities through letters or petitions, as well as frequent press releases. Also, it has launched PR campaigns with the pro bono assistance of advertising firms to undermine the image of countries that it considers enemies of freedom of expression, and discourage political support by the international community.[1]
RWB also provides assistance for journalists and media who are either in danger or in difficulty subsisting. They have given money to provide for the needs of exiled or imprisoned journalists and their families and the unsupported families of journalists who have been killed; to enable journalists to leave their home countries if they are in danger there; to repair the effects of vandalism on media outlets; to cover the legal fees of journalists who have been prosecuted for their writings or the medical bills of those who have been physically attacked; and on one occasion, to provide bullet-proof vests.[8]
Over the years, RWB has published several books to raise public awareness of threats to press freedom around the world. One such publication is the Handbook for Bloggers and Cyber-Dissidents,[9] which was launched in September 2005 and updated in 2008.[10] The handbook provides technical tips on how to become an effective anonymous blogger, and avoid censorship. It includes contributions from well-known blogger-journalists Dan Gillmor and Ethan Zuckerman. RWB also releases materials intended for journalists concerning their safety or information on how to apply for political asylum. Such publications include a handbook for journalists who are working in dangerous areas such as war zones[11] and a set of directions on how to seek asylum in most Western countries[12]
According to the annual accounts, its total budget is of €4,000,000, which is mostly financed by sale of photo-albums (of which the authors freely grant copyright, and which are freely distributed by the Nouvelles Messageries de la Presse Parisienne, or NMPP),[13] as well as extras such as T-shirts, etc.[13]
More than 20% of its funding comes from private groups, such as Sanofi-Aventis (€400,000, 10% of its budget),[13] François Pinault, the Fondation de France, the Open Society Institute of George Soros, the Sigrid Rausing Trust, Benetton, or the Center for a Free Cuba (which donated €64,000 in 2002).[13][14] Furthermore, Saatchi & Saatchi has created various communication campaigns of RWB for free (for instance, concerning censorship in Algeria).[15]
Funding (12% of total in 2007) also comes from governmental organisations.[16] According to RWB president Robert Ménard, the donations from the French government account for 4.8% of RWB's budget; the total amount of governmental aid being 11% of its budget (including money from the French government, the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, UNESCO and the Organisation internationale de la francophonie).[17] Daniel Junqua, the vice-president of the French section of RWB (and also vice-president of the NGO Les Amis du Monde diplomatique), states that funding from the National Endowment for Democracy, a branch of the U.S. State Department [13] does not compromise RWB's impartiality.[17] RWB's Chinese website credits support from Taiwan Foundation for Democracy,[18] a quasi-government organization funded by the ROC Ministry of Foreign Affairs.[19]
Reporters Without Borders books are sold by the French leisure chains and supermarkets Fnac, Carrefour, Casino, Monoprix and Cora, the websites alapage.com, fnac.com and amazon.fr, as well as A2Presse and over 300 bookshops throughout France.[20]
Journalist Salim Lamrani has estimated that RWB would have to sell 170,200 books in 2004 and 188,400 books in 2005 to earn the more than $2 million in the organisation's income statement.[21] In fact, Reporters Without Borders book sales were 230,000 in 2007.[22]
Reporters Without Borders publishes the annual Predators of Press Freedom list which highlights what it feels are the worst violators.[23][24]
Reporters Without Borders launched the first International Online Free Expression Day on March 12, 2008.[25] Now named World Day Against Cyber Censorship, this annual event rallies support for a single Internet without restrictions and accessible to all.
In conjunction with its World Day Against Cyber Censorship, RWB updates its Enemies of the Internet list which highlights what it considers the countries that are the worst violators of freedom of expression on the Internet. A second list of countries Under Surveillance is released at the same time.[26]
On August 23, 2007, RWB condemned the continuing threats and violence against Philippine radio commentators who report on organized crime and corruption, following a death threat on RGMA Palawan station manager Lily Uy.[27] On December 27, 2007, RWB appealed to Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo administration to forthwith arrest the killers of radio broadcaster Ferdinand Lintuan, 51, the 5th journalist killed in 2007 in the Philippines. As first president of the Davao Association of Sports Journalists he was murdered in Davao City on December 24.[28]
Reporters Without Borders had been protesting the possibility of China hosting the 2008 Olympics since 2001. On March 30, 2008, the day the Olympic torch departed from Olympia, Greece, RWB president Robert Ménard unfurled behind Chinese representative Qi Liu a banner bearing a design resembling the logo of the Olympics, in which the Olympic rings were replaced with handcuffs. On April 7, 2008, the day the torch came to Paris, Ménard climbed with the help of two other activists to the top of Notre Dame Cathedral to hoist a banner with the same Olympic symbol.[29] In one of RWB's most popular campaigns to date, T-shirts bearing the symbol became so popular that sales for them surpassed 1 million euros.[13]
The annual Netizen Prize recognizes an Internet user, blogger or cyber-dissident who has made a notable contribution to the defense of online freedom of expression.
Reporters Without Borders awards a cyber-dissident prize under various names including: Cyber-Freedom Prize and Cyber-dissident. Winners include:
This prize, in which Le Monde became a partner in 2011, was created in 1992 and is given annually to a journalist (and since 2003 a news media and a cyber-dissident as well) that made, in RWB's words, "a significant contribution to the defence and promotion of press freedom." Prize recipients:
Media: The Daily News (Zimbabwe) Press freedom defender: Michèle Montas (Haiti)
Media: Zeta (Mexico) Press freedom defender: Liu Xiaobo (China)
Media: Tolo TV (Afghanistan) Press freedom defender: National Union of Somali Journalists (Somalia) Cyber-dissident: Massoud Hamid (Syria)
Media: Novaya Gazeta (Russia) Press freedom defender: Journalist in Danger (DR of Congo) Cyber-dissident: Guillermo Fariñas Hernández (Cuba)
Media: Democratic Voice of Burma (Burma) Cyber-dissident: Kareem Amer (Egypt) Special China Prize: Hu Jia, Zeng Jinyan (China)
Media: Radio Free NK (North Korea) Cyber-dissident: Zarganar (Burma), Nay Phone Latt (Burma)
Media: Dosh (Russia - Chechnya)
Media: Radio Shabelle (Somalia)
Media: Weekly Eleven News (Burma)[38][39]
RWB compiles and publishes an annual ranking of countries based upon the organization's assessment of their press freedom records. Small countries, such as Andorra, are excluded from this report.
The report is based on a questionnaire[40] sent to partner organizations of Reporters Without Borders (14 freedom of expression groups in five continents) and its 130 correspondents around the world, as well as to journalists, researchers, jurists and human rights activists.[41]
The survey asks questions about direct attacks on journalists and the media as well as other indirect sources of pressure against the free press. RWB is careful to note that the index only deals with press freedom, and does not measure the quality of journalism. Due to the nature of the survey's methodology based on individual perceptions, there are often wide contrasts in a country's ranking from year to year.
In an interview with France Culture in 2007, whilst speaking about the case of the kidnapped journalist Daniel Pearl, RWB president Robert Ménard discussed the ethics of torture.[42] Menard told France Culture:
Where do we stop? Shall we accept this logic that consists of... since we could do it in some cases, 'you take him hostage, we take him hostage; you mistreat them, we mistreat them; you torture, we torture ...? What is it that justifies... Can we go that far to free someone?[42]
Lucie Morillon, RWB's then-Washington representative, confirmed in an interview on 29 April 2005 that the organization had a contract with US State Department's Special Envoy to the Western Hemisphere, Otto Reich, who signed it in his capacity as a trustee for the Center for a Free Cuba, to inform Europeans about the repression of journalists in Cuba.[43] CounterPunch, a critic of RWB, cited Reich's involvement with the group as a source of controversy: when Reich headed the Reagan administration's Office of Public Diplomacy in the 1980s, the body partook in what its officials termed "White Propaganda" – covert dissemination of information to influence domestic opinion regarding US backing for military campaigns against Left-wing governments in Latin America.[43]
RWB has been highly critical of press freedom in Cuba, describing the Cuban government as "totalitarian", and engages in direct campaigning against it.[44] RWB's campaign includes declarations on radio and television, full-page ads in Parisian dailies, posters, leafletting at airports, and an April 2003 occupation of the Cuban tourism office in Paris.[43] A Paris court (tribunal de grande instance) ordered RWB to pay 6,000 Euros to the daughter and heir of Alberto Korda for non-compliance with a court order of 9 July 2003 banning it from using Korda's famous (and copyrighted) photograph of Ernesto "Che" Guevara in a beret, taken at the funeral of La Coubre victims. RWB said it was "relieved" it was not given a harsher sentence.[44][45] The face had been superimposed by RWB with that of a May 1968 CRS anti-riot police agent, and the postcard handed out at Orly Airport in Paris to tourists boarding on flights for Cuba. Korda's daughter declared to Granma that "Reporters Without Borders should call themselves Reporters Without Principles."[46] On April 24, 2003, RWB organized a demonstration outside the Cuban embassy in Paris.[47]
RWB in turn has been described as an "ultra-reactionary" organization by the official newspaper of the Central Committee of the Cuban Communist Party, Granma.[44] Tensions between Cuban authorities and RWB are high, particularly after the imprisonment in 2003 of 75 dissidents (27 journalists) by the Cuban Government, including Raúl Rivero and Óscar Elías Biscet. An article by John Cherian in the Indian magazine Frontline alleged that RWB "is reputed to have strong links with Western intelligence agencies" and "Cuba has accused Robert Meynard [sic] the head of the group, of having CIA links".[48]
RWB has denied that its campaigning on Cuba are related to payments it has received from anti-Castro organisations.[49] In 2004, it received $50,000 from the Miami based exile group, the Center for a Free Cuba, which was personally signed by the US State Department's Special Envoy to the Western Hemisphere, Otto Reich.[43] RWB has also received extensive funding from other institutions long critical of Fidel Castro's government, including the International Republican Institute.[50]
Journalist Salim Lamrani has accused Reporters Without Borders with making unsupported and contradictory statements regarding Internet connectivity in Cuba.[51]
In 2004, Reporters Without Borders released an annual report on Haiti, saying that a "climate of terror" existed in which attacks and threats persisted against those journalists who were critical of President Jean-Bertrand Aristide.[52]
An August 2006 article in CounterPunch accused RWB of ignoring similar attacks on journalists under the Latortue government in 2005 and 2006, including that of Pacifica Radio reporter Kevin Pina.[21] Pina himself said:
It was clear early on that RWB and Robert Menard were not acting as objective guardians of freedom of the press in Haiti but rather as central actors in what can only be described as a disinformation campaign against Aristide's government ... They provide false information and skewed reports to build internal opposition to governments seen as uncontrollable and unpalatable to Washington while softening the ground for their eventual removal by providing justification under the pretext of attacks on the freedom of the press.[21]
Le Monde diplomatique has criticized RWB's attitude towards Hugo Chávez's government in Venezuela, in particular during the 2002 coup attempt.[50] In a right of reply, Robert Ménard declared that RWB had also condemned the Venezuela media's support of the coup attempt.[17] RWB has also been criticized for supporting Globovision's version of events about its false reporting in relation to a 2009 earthquake, claiming Globovision was "being hounded by the government and the administration".[53]
According to Observatoire de l'Action Humanitaire (Centre for Humanitarian Action), ever since Robert Ménard was replaced by Jean-François Julliard in September 2008, RWB has been concerned with violations of press freedom not only in third-world dictatorships but also in developed countries like France. Through widening its geographical scope, RWB aims at countering accusations of overly focusing on left-wing regimes unfriendly to the US.[54]
UNESCO, who initially had granted patronage to the first International Online Free Expression Day to be held on March 12, 2008, withdrew its patronage on the day of the event giving as reasons that RWB "published material concerning a number of UNESCO's Member States, which UNESCO had not been informed of and could not endorse" and that "UNESCO's logo was placed in such a way as to indicate the Organization's support of the information presented." RWB responded in a press release that "UNESCO has withdrawn its support to the promotion of this campaign because several of the Nations which are part of the list of Internet Enemies published by the nongovernmental organization have directly put pressure to achieve it."[55]

It's time for our monthly check-in of the S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Indices (HPI). For the full source data behind this post, plus seasonally adjusted and tiered price data, hit the S&P/Case-Shiller website. For an explanation of how the Case-Shiller data is calculated, check out their methodology pdf. Also remember that the data released on the last Tuesday of a given month is for the period two months prior (i.e. – June data is released in August).
Here are the basic Case-Shiller stats for the DC area* as of June:
Month to Month: Up 2.8% (raw)
Month to Month Up 2.3% (seasonally adjusted)
Year to Year: Down 11.8%
Change from Peak: Down 30.6% in 37 months
Sixteen of the twenty metro areas tracked by Case-Shiller saw an increase in their respective seasonally-adjusted HPIs between May and June. Only Las Vegas, Detroit, Seattle, and Charlotte still saw seasonally-adjusted drops month-to-month.
Of the eight markets where Case-Shiller data and Redfin service overlaps, only the San Francisco Bay Area has experienced a larger spike in prices than the DC area over the last few months.
Here's a chart of Case-Shiller HPIs for all the markets that Redfin serves:
Here's our peak decline chart, in which we line up the peak Case-Shiller HPI value for each of Redfin's markets, so we can see how long each market has been declining, and how much it has dropped from the peak.
It's quite noticeable in both of the above charts that almost every city we're tracking seems to have taken a sudden upward turn with the most recent few months of data. Despite the fact that there was a nearly two year spread in when the various markets hit their peak (Boston in September 2005, Seattle in July 2007), nearly every market appears to have turned a sharp corner to the positive after "bottoming" in March or April.
A commenter on my Seattle site made an astute observation about this phenomenon this morning:
Since it is still essentially true that "real estate is local", what could cause every city to suddenly and simultaneously reach an equilibrium point where prices reversed course?
Answer: it just so happens that the home buyers' tax credit was enacted with the American Reinvestment act (stimulus package) effective February 17, 2009. March 2009 was the first full month that American home buyers had the tax credit as an incentive. It changed their behavior and made them buy homes. It also expires on December 1, 2009 unless it is extended.
Once again, government policy is impacting asset valuations. Either we're seeing a lasting nationwide housing bottom marked by an extraordinarily well-timed tax incentive, or a new "bubblet." Case Shiller won't tell us which until 2010.
It remains to be seen whether the NAR's lobbying efforts to get the $8,000 tax credit extended beyond November will be successful. And even if they do convince Congress to extend it, the effect may be largely diminished. The program may have already pulled forward as many sales as it can during its spring and summer run.
*[Case-Shiller defines Washington DC as the entire Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV Metropolitan Statistical Area, which includes all of the District of Columbia and all or part of the following counties: Calvert MD, Charles MD, Frederick MD, Montgomery MD, Prince Georges MD, Alexandria City VA, Arlington VA, Clarke VA, Fairfax VA, Fairfax City VA, Falls Church City VA, Fauquier VA, Fredericksburg City VA, Loudoun VA, Manassas City VA, Manassas Park City VA, Prince William VA, Spotsylvania VA, Stafford VA, Warren VA, and Jefferson WV.]

A cash settlement with the federal government in lieu of the long-promised North Shore Road will reap annual dividends for Swain County for years to come.
The county will put the money in a lockbox and only use the interest each year. In fact, the county couldn't tap the principal even if it wanted to without permission from a two-thirds majority of all county voters.
Last year, the county created a trust fund to safeguard the pending windfall with the North Carolina State Treasurer. The state will remit interest off the account to Swain County, but the principal cannot be touched unless supported by a supermajority of registered voters in Swain County.
"Since by law only the interest income can be spent, the county will have a source of income forever. Therefore every citizen of Swain County will benefit," Douthit said.
The government will pay $4 million into the account immediately. The remaining $8.8 million will be released 120 days after a final settlement figure is agreed on.
The state's investment vehicle has performed well. It reaped an average 6.2 percent interest over the past five years, according to the N.C. State Treasurer.
Interest on the $12.8 million would be close to $800,000 annually, based on the average interest rate of the past five years.

"It wasn't yesterday, in fact this worm may have been around for months and it's just not being recognized by virus software. It apparently can even operate users' connected webcams - the perpetrator was arrested while spying on several remote comps this way. If true, this is big."
Now imagine that scenario when the next desktop search hole is found and you'll start understanding why desktop search is possibly one of the very worst ideas ever to come up, about as bad as linking IE to the guts of Windows through active x etc. Some ideas are just intrinsically bad.

These may be extremophiles living outside the atmosphere, where they float around and swim in the vacuum of space just like cells do in extracelluar fluid. There's a bunch of these videos from NASA on youtube to check out if you're interested. Unfortunately not a lot of research has been done on this topic so it's hard to come by conclusive evidence.
Too late, it has already found it's way onto YouTube…

--Jack: Tales of a Murderer--
Heres the doorway where I found her
Yes here in this darkened place
This is where she last spoke to me
Here she told me so many things
I asked her gently, "Are you sleeping?"
She said, "Will you rape me now?"
Soon I told her to lay back and dream, "I'll take care of everything."
Her only reply, "I believe your lies."
I told her to look for golden gates
She said, "I don't believe in God."
Then she left me to guard over her sleep
But no, I could have never murdered her
I only borrowed her heart
Borrowed it while she was still alive
She had no use for such an instrument
No use for so beautiful an object
Love was her game and night her stage
Drawing men and women from their lovers
Selling passion by hours
Payment for beauty with gold
No I could have never murdered her
You can only murder what has a soul
I honestly have no idea where i got the idea for that one <.<;;
Very Vampyric...
Intention is the core of all conscious life. It is our intentions that create karma, our intentions that help others, our intentions that lead us away from the delusions of individuality toward the immutable verities of enlightened awareness.
Very, very well done. Using someone as notorious as Jack the Ripper to make such a bold statement is certainly very ambitious, and exceedingly original. Keep the poetry coming!
P.S. I love your avatar. Where'd you get it?
I took a picture from Fel (an artist at www.rabbitvalley.com) and just sized it until it fit the avatar size

NLE Video Editors
In alphabetical order, we evaluate Broadcast 2000, Crow, Kino, LVE, MainActor and Trinity. Except for MainActor, all are open-source software. Especially intriguing are Kino, a highly regarded DV editor that just released a new version, and LVE, a little-known German-made MPEG editor.
Broadcast 2000 has been removed by the developer from its main web site, making some think that it is no longer exists, but video systems integrator Linux Media Arts (LMA) still offers it. LMA President Mike Collins says, "We want to continue development of Broadcast 2000, both as a free, open-source project and as bundled commercial software with provided support." Collins says he is trying to arrange putting Broadcast 2000 on SourceForge.net, but until then, anyone may contact him directly about downloading it. Broadcast 2000 is available as an RPM or a source tarball.
Broadcast 2000 was featured in the January 2001 issue of Linux Journal [see Adam Williams' article "Moviemaking on a Linux Box? No Way!"]. Our installation is a little different because our distribution isn't Red Hat, but Debian. Let's convert the Red Hat-compatible RPM into a Debian deb (Listing 1).
Listing 1. Converting the Red Hat-Compatible RPM into a Debian deb
Alien works well at converting RPM archives into deb format, but it doesn't find shared libraries that are in nonstandard locations (note the warning from Alien that it can't find libbcbase.so). You will need to remember that after installing the deb with dpkg. Once Broadcast 2000 is installed, search for the lost DLL and add its directory path to your ld.so.conf. Then run ldconfig to update the runtime linker settings. Otherwise, the program won't run because it won't be able to find its shared libraries.
Broadcast 2000 record formats include WAV, PCM, QuickTime and JPEG image sequence. The supported QuickTime (MOV) types are JPEG photo, motion JPEG A, PNG, PNG with alpha, uncompressed RGB, uncompressed RGBA, YUV 4:2:0 planar and YUV 4:2:2 packed. That's a lot of formats, but they aren't as compatible with other tools and operating systems as you might expect.
Crow is a project by Eric Fry in Australia. Although only an alpha version, we still were curious to try Crow. It is only available for download via the CVS version control system.
Our Linux box is on a Windows network behind a Windows firewall with Cox cable modem. We would have to configure our firewall to pass CVS. Using Telnet we checked that we could reach SourceForge.net CVS port 2401 manually. We then created a 2401 TCP wrapper in WinGate on our SOHO firewall machine (named gap). Our TCP wrapper was set to point to cvs.Crow.sourceforge.net.
Attempting a CVS login from my Linux box (tbird) failed—something about .cvspass not being configured correctly on that machine. However, we were able to do a CVS checkout. That was all we actually needed.
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@gap:/cvsroot/crow co crow
If we hadn't been drilling through our firewall, the CVS command would have specified cvs.Crow.sourceforge.net rather than gap.
Crow objected that it had the wrong libtool ltconfig version, but we fixed that with libtoolize:
libtoolize --force aclocal ./configure make
No dice—the Crow make failed because an include file couldn't find gtk/gtk.h. The Makefiles didn't have the paths configured in a generic way to point to the GTK++ GUI headers, and our GTK++ files were installed in a different directory. This called for a little autoconf surgery. We added GNOME_INIT to configure.in so it would emit the GTK_CFLAGS and GTK_LIBS variables. Then we substituted those variables, e.g., $(GTK_CFLAGS), in 14 different Makefile.am files used by Crow. After regenerating the configure file, Crow built. Bingo, we got it!
aclocal autoconf ./configure make ulimit -c unlimited ./app/crowWe didn't do a make install of Crow because the INSTALL file had warned us not to. We set ulimit to be able to generate core files if we had a crash. And, when we ran Crow it immediately crashed with a segmentation fault. Let's debug that using the gdb debugger:
gdb app/.libs/lt-crow core > btBecause ./app/crow is a script, we had to figure out the actual name of the executable to load in gdb. Running a backtrace (bt) to examine the function stack didn't do us any good at this point because there was no debug information in our build. We first would have to rebuild with debug enabled:
make clean make -e ?CC=gcc -g?Now we could load gdb again and see the relevant call stack and source code. That immediately revealed that the crash was due to a null pointer variable dir in app/plug_in.c on line 275. We simply inserted a line there to return from the function before using the variable if it was 0:
if(!dir) return 0;Crow is very much an alpha and too incomplete for use. Fry says that his files on SourceForge.net are an old version and that he is planning to rewrite it. He wants to talk with others interested in designing an editing application for Linux from the ground up. "I'd like to have a fully featured editor capable of doing real-world editing tasks like 3:2 pull-down, EDL output database clip management and HD playback", says Fry.

You left out the best one of all: Cinelerra.
It can do anything you can imagine, if you can get it installed.
Re: GFX: NLE Video Editors
Never in my life have I been as mad at the proprietary actions that Apple has pinned on Microsoft for so many years than now. It seems that Apple, our "innocent" company has decided to buy out any and all of good linux cinema software today. If you don't believe me, look at Apple Shake, and also Silicon Grail's Rayz. This wouldn't be so bad with the exception that I rely on many of those applications and use LINUX as my ONLY platform. I am so unbelievably mad that I could just kill!!!
Now I have to spend countless tens of thousands of dollars re-outfitting my VFX studio with new Apple (eww) computers.
Thank God Apple can't take away the price tag of linux, as well as the stability needed to make great render farms!

Re: GFX: NLE Video Editors
umm... why not spend significantly less funding open source development of a new app? There are lots of support libraries out there already, like gstreamer, etc. Filmgimp/Cinepaint is available, and being developed. Add the features you need to open source. No point complaining about the lack of open source, and then buying proprietary junk.
Re: GFX: NLE Video Editors
Because not all production studios have coders on hand to produce apps that could perform those kinds of functions. In that case, hiring the coders to do the work would end up being far more costly and time consuming than switching to an already existing set of apps.
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.

A 43-year-old Glassville woman was charged with possession of a controlled substance recently after she allegedly made several drug deals with an undercover police officer, according to authorities with the Flippin Police and the Marion County Sheriff's Office. The drug charges were made as the result of a joint investigation between the two agencies.
The woman has been charged with delivery of a controlled substance as well as possession, and since the transaction allegedly occurred near a park or school, the penalties could be enhanced. Bond was set in the amount of $10,000, which the woman posted.
Drug charges range from misdemeanors to felonies, depending on the amount of the drug found in a suspect's possession, the circumstances of the arrest and whether the suspect attempted to sell the drug or kept it for personal consumption. As seen in this case, penalties may be enhanced if the alleged drug transaction takes place near a spot where children are likely to be present.
Suspects who have been charged with drug crimes may benefit from the help of a criminal defense attorney, especially if the charges are based on a drug sweep or sting. There may be questions involved if the police set up a drug sting; the wrong actions on the part of law enforcement may furnish a defense based on entrapment.
A criminal defense lawyer examines the evidence of the case and may assist the suspect in deciding whether to fight the charges on grounds of entrapment or other viable defense or to work out a beneficial plea arrangement.

Computer business busted for allegedly reselling stolen items on eBay
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - A computer business allegedly used as a front to sell stolen items, including gift cards, was busted Friday after an investigation that began in November of 2012.
The stolen items came from shoplifting, victims' cars and the burglaries of homes or businesses, said Colorado Springs Police Department spokeswoman Barbara Miller. The items were stolen from victims in Colorado Springs, Castle Rock, Denver and Pueblo.
The shoplifted items were the result of teams of organized thieves, Miller said.
Miller said the investigation found Just Computers, under the direction of owner Clay Schaner, would take the stolen items and sell them, mainly on eBay. The sales allegedly totaled more than $1.3 million.
Just Computers is located at 2506 E. Platte Avenue.
Schaner is accused of working with his son, Clinton Schaner, and at least two others.
11 search warrants executed Friday resulted in the arrests of Clayton Schaner, Clinton Schaner, Caleb Butler, Tommie Bradley and James Driscoll. Miller wasn't clear about which two were accused of working with the Schaners.
Miller said CSPD anticipates the group will face charges under the Colorado Organized Crime Control Act.

135th Aviation Battalion comes home to Denver after a year in Iraq
Never Summer Industries was extremely psyched to be able to attend the welcome home ceremony for G Company 2-135th General Support Aviation Battalion. These soldiers just returned home from a year of saving lives in Iraq. The 135th is a helicopter medical evacuation unit, or MEDEVAC unit. The primary mission for the 135th G Company in Iraq was to provide life-saving support to US and Coalition Soldiers. G Company flew more than 2200 hours and provided MEDEVAC evacuation for over 240 US and Coalition Force personnel.
Helicopter crashes in Golden, CO at the Buffalo Bill Downhill Longboard Race on Lookout Mountain
Sunday May 8, 2011, updated Monday May 9, 2011
A helicopter intended to film the Buffalo Bill Downhill longboard race on Lookout Mountain in Golden, CO crashed today while hovering above the finish line. Without warning the aircraft started to drift downward towards a large pine tree. The helicopter's rotor clipped the tree rendering the rotor useless. The landing skids hit the ground perpendicular to the slope of the ground causing it to "bounce" ninety degrees counter clockwise. It seems that the force of the skids hitting the ground caused the tail rotor to shear itself from the aircraft. I do remember seeing the tail rotor strike the tree also but that memory is hazy and the video I have watched since doesn't seem to confirm my impression of the incident. When the landing skid made contact the second time, this time parallel with the slope of the ground, the weight of the helicopter's front end forced the copter to tip over coming to rest on it's canopy. Thankfully no one was hurt. Police evacuated the area and the remainder of the races were canceled. As if downhill longboard races aren't exciting enough, this years Buffalo Bill Downhill is sure to go down in history as one of the most exciting longboard events ever.

Colorful Colorado-Leadville/Mineral Trail
I would highly recomend this trail over the next few weeks! The aspens are in full force up there right now and the drive/ride/and shuttle are one of a kind. Its about a 15min ride from the top of the east trail. Head into leadville and turn left on 5th and go till you hit the first bridge on the dirt road and go right to the top. then head back down 5th and take a right on alder and go to the end and you will see the trail. You can either leave a car at the bottom or trade off drivers. The drive from the bottom of the trail is only about 2min drive up so its a real quick fun run with great scenery!
NS rider Michelle Shea interview on AngrySnowboarder.com!
There's something to be said about roshamboing with a girl to see who is going to death ride down a pine tree in the preseason. Most people wouldn't want to jib something that sketchy that early in the season but Michelle was all for it. At that moment in time I realized this chick has the potential for bigger and better things, she might not have had the best season last year, but now she's poised for a better season this upcoming year.

So I went to a few private views around London a while ago. Free Range and other events were happening around East, which was a good enough reason to go and have a look around. I started out by checking out the Usugrow exhibition at the Stolen Space gallery next to the Truman Brewery, right off Brick Lane.
This gallery usually has interesting show, displaying mostly print-based work and fine draughtsmanship. Today the work was of Usugrow, a Japanese artist/illustrator who in specialises in skulls and hand-drawn type. The type was at first very alien, but after studying it a bit more with someone else we managed to make out english words written in his Japanese inspired calligraphic style. I don't believe that everything was english as some words were illegible (or I was not patient enough to try and read it). I'm generally a big fan of 'pretty' drawings and this was not an exception. I enjoyed the work, which included a tribute drawing to Travis Barker (the Blink 182 drummer I am going to see on the 26th of July at the O2 in Brixton, I am going to feel 13 again!). The only thing I am trying to understand is the contemporary illustrator's obsession with skulls… I keep seeing work featuring skeletons and both human and animal bones. I guess Damien Hirst really set a trend?
Next I wandered around Brick Lane and Great Eastern Street for a bit, looking at the various Photography BA exhibitions around. I was going to visit those on the morrow… Now was time for a friend's exhibition on Rivington Street!
So the event was labelled 'Art is a Party'. I must say I was disappointed when I arrived, as I thought they would literally put the 'art' in party and I would be living it up with them. Art is a Party is actually the name of their collective and is more self reflexive, as they all enjoy what they and want to share that with others. My disappointment was short-lived and based solely on my expectations though. The gallery featured trendy illustration work by the collective, ranging from collages to baked cakes. There was an interesting necklace by Kirsten Allen, with a wishbone and a one-time-use only clause to have a wish come true. Faithful to their name, the work was playful and imaginative.
(While the cake did not look particularly tasty this is quite an interesting approach to interactivity)
I managed to speak to James Hart, one of their spokesmen. He told me about their philosophy, the idea of work together as an ever-expanding creative collective that would allow the artists to bounce ideas of each other and result in a very diverse portfolio of outcomes. Definitely worth keeping an eye on them as they seemed to be quite keen on taking over the illustration scene.
