text: HomeFilmNews IFTA takes its global role seriously Email Print +Talk +G+ +Tweets October 24, 2010 | 05:00AM PT Critics blast org for L.A. bias but it seeks to rep worldwide interests Adam Dawtrey Mart impacts art | IFTA takes its global role seriously | Change offers challenges To its critics, the Independent Film & TV Alliance just organizes the AFM and represents a certain breed of L.A. producer. But over the past decade, the org has done its best to transform itself into an effective international trade organization with a political voice that speaks for all its members worldwide. Originally named the American Film Marketing Assn., it was formed in 1980 by a handful of independent producers to run the American Film Market on their behalf. Over the next two decades, it gradually developed services such as collections, licensing agreements, market intelligence and arbitration. But it wasn't until Jean Prewitt arrived as president in 2000 that the org really began to expand its role as trade association. Michael Ryan, a founding member who served as chairman from 2003-07, says, "The difference now is that IFTA has become a proper independent version of the MPAA. Under Jean Prewitt, it's a very respected organization. It really works for its members now, whereas for many years it was just this odd organization that ran the AFM." Ryan, a Brit based in London, argues that his own election as chairman marked a turning point. "The intention was to internationalize it a bit. It had become an L.A. boys club for a while, run by that L.A. clique, which was a dangerous period. But now it's properly international, half the membership comes from abroad and it's listened to as an international organization, not as a bunch of L.A. producers clubbed together." During Ryan's tenure, the name was changed to remove the word "American." That coincided with the 2004 decision to move the AFM itself from February to November, in order to kill off the wobbling Mifed market in Milan. Some Europeans saw that as a coup on behalf of the big American sellers, although many Brits also backed the attempt to rationalize the market calendar. Suspicion remains in some quarters that U.S. members get more value out of IFTA, but such complaints are expressed as private grumbling rather than open revolt. "IFTA serves a certain member and does a lot of important lobbying in the U.S., but it does nothing at all for any of the Europeans, though not because they don't try," one Euro sales exec says. "They do provide a certain solidarity for the independent business, and the AFM is incredibly well run, so out of respect we pay our dues. But if I saw a faction break away, I'd be completely fine with that." "Our role is different for our American members," Prewitt concedes. "In every other country, our members have two sources of service — their local distribution organizations and IFTA — and they look to those organizations for different things." Nonetheless, when Prewitt and AFM managing director Jonathan Wolf travel to foreign markets, they spend all their time canvassing the needs of their overseas members. IFTA has also extended its lobbying on issues such as Net neutrality, copyright and media consolidation from Washington to Brussels and London. On a practical level, after a trial with an Internet-scanning operation in Australia, it has negotiated rate cards for its members with several such antipiracy services. Ryan says it's up to the overseas members to make use of what IFTA has to offer. "It has great arbitration, the legal service is brilliant, the credit control and collection is second to none," he says. "If you bother to go into it, the website is great — it can save you a lot of money. Possibly the L.A. members have more access to IFTA's employees and services for geographic reasons, but a lot of international members use them a lot. If you want to be effective in the international market, you need those standards IFTA lays down. People now want to become members for that purpose. That's why we have new companies applying every month." Filed Under: AFM Want Entertainment News First? Sign up for Variety Alerts and Newsletters!

'Golden Hahnii'
Can I pot my golden hahnii in a 6'pot? or is that to big?
There are so many answers to your question.
First, there is really no such thing as a pot being "too big". You could plant it in a 20 gallon barrel for that matter. The size of the pot along with the planting media can affect how the plant grows. For example, the plant is likely to produce more babies (offshoots) quicker if planted in a smaller container.
Secondly, the size of the pot along with the planting media will help determine how often the plant needs to be watered. Sans planted in bigger pots will generally need to be watered less often. Also, well drained soil is even more critical in a larger pot. This may also be an important consideration if you are leaving the plant outside where it gets rain.
Finally, the size of the plant will determine how small of a pot you can use. Obviously, an 8" diameter plant is not going to fit into a 6" pot.
I have Sans planted in containers ranging from 2" to 8". Most are in 6" pots. If they keep growing at the rate they are now, I'm going to have to repot them into 8" or bigger pots.
The size of your pot should depend upon the size of your plant's root system. Sans roots like it snug, and they require WELL drained soil. If you can get your hands on some pumice that would be GREAT! Mix it with a well-aerated soil. I use C and S soil, mixed with desert sand in clay pots for most of my sans. Most of the Hahnii varieties are planted in little 2-3 inch plastic pots. Be careful watering the Hahnii varieties. They do not like to be watered in the crown. And, ease up on your watering for the winter. Maybe once a month!
Good Luck,
Be careful when using sand! If you do use sand, verify that the type you are using is OK for the plant. Using the wrong sand can quickly result in the death of the plant.
Clay pots and pumice are great (if you can easily get the pumice). An easier option, especially in many parts of the country, is to use pearlite. I use 60% C&S soil with 40% pearlite for my Sans, and they absolutely love it.
Watering needs can vary quite a bit depending on multiple factors. Overwatering AND underwatering can cause problems. I water my Sans well once a week, but growers with less drainage or different conditions may have to water less often. I have one large Sansevieria clump that is planted in regular potting soil (not well drained) and it does super! I do water it a little less than the others relative to the size of the pots.
Mine's about 4-5' in diameter. So I guess the 6 inch would be good. I've had this plant for almost 2 years, and it hasn't grown much. They're slow growers, so I won't have to repot anytime soon. I'm also very excited, yesterday when I went to Lowes, I found a sans moonglow. Only one left, someone else was looking at it and I practically ran and snatched it!! They don't sell those here much. I had seen one in HD but someone had it in their cart already.
Sometimes repotting them can bring about a spurt of growth. I have repotted slower growers before and had them take off. Maybe they just needed to know someone loved them. (-:
I saw a huge S. cylindrica the other day at Home Depot. It was dirt cheap and very health. It hurt to walk away from that one, but I just didn't have the room.
It's become a serious addiction. I designed, and had my uncle build, shelves for some of my windows. Each window now has a little over 9 square feet of shelf area for plants. We have a pretty large kitchen table that's so full of plants, there's really not room to eat a meal there. I have somewhere around 20 types of Sansevieria and duplicates of some types. I need a greenhouse!
I was back at Home Depot the other day. Can you believe they still have one of those Sans? Either everyone is like me and doesn't have an extra inch or people just don't know what a great find it is.
Hi Brandon,
I'm guessing most folks have no idea what a great find that it. Most folks out there don't know that Sans. come in a large group of varieties, they think it's just the standard old yellow striped one (S. trifasciata laurentii) we see so commonly everywhere.
I gave a talk to my Indoor Gardening Society last Feb., on exactly this topic, Sans. I made a point of bringing in 8 or 10 of mine, all really different looking than the usual. It's my experience that outside succulent circles, most folks really don't have a clue abt this.
I'd tend to believe the most folks just don't know what a great find it is. I've never seen anything other than the Laurentii types at my local HD's. Most of my Sans came from a dear GW'r, Bob Smoley or Grigsby Cactus. I think I have close to 20 also, if not more.

The next two stories are about Christmas. This week features the savoury dishes, and next time desserts.
There aren't too many times in the Kiwi culinary calendar like Christmas - a time when everything comes to a stop and families gather from far and near to celebrate.
We need more of these moments. It is a time of feasting and depending on your family traditions that will mean different things. It could be Christmas Eve dinner or Christmas Day lunch or dinner in the evening.
I come from the Christmas lunch tradition or, more correctly, slow continuous eating that starts about 10am and goes on until about 5pm.
I don't have a standard feast menu and some years I am quite rebellious about what gets served.
It is always a day for extended family and often a ring-in friend or two from some part of the globe. My family has a few food foibles and there are three active vegetarians and as I want everyone to be happy I want to cater to all the tastes. I usually start thinking about the menu about now and the mood of the moment prevails.
We start the day about 10 with hot croissants and a strong coffee that is replaced just before noon with the first glass of champagne and the arrival of the first family members who aren't staying. This Christmas the first course will be a tall glass of chilled gazpacho, the clean and cool tastes of tomato and cucumber to stimulate the taste buds.
With good music playing and people spilling out into the garden (weather permitting) and more champagne we will have the next course, crab tarts served on small plates with tangy rocket and for the vegetarians, caramelised onion tarts.
The main course will come about 2pm with everyone seated at the table. This year it is to be duck confit. I can't get far past a bird of some description whether it be turkey or herb stuffed chicken but this year it is duck. The great thing about duck confit is that you can prepare it ahead of time and all but the last details are done at least the day before.
The vegetarians will get spinach and ricotta cannelloni, or maybe ravioli. This year I think I will make brown butter with sage to accompany the cannelloni. I usually like to make at least four vegetable dishes and this year it will be roast kumara, new potatoes, mashed peas and broad beans with mint and a red salad made with roasted red peppers, roasted red onions, cherry tomatoes and probably baby carrots lightly steamed. All tossed together with extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
I will also have a big bowl of greens from the garden, a range of different lettuces, spinach, mustard green and rocket. The duck will have a red wine glaze and it will all be accompanied with a bottle or two of good burgundy.
By the time all of this has devoured, it will be time for a rest under a tree for a while to make room for the dessert. This year I feel tradition weighing on me. I should have made a plum pudding but I haven't so it will have to be my grandmother's mince pies. I have it marinating already in the fridge. But that is the next story.
Serves 6-8 in tall glasses 1 onion
3 cloves garlic
500g ripe tomatoes
3 cups tomato juice
2-3 cups peeled cucumber
1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp hot sauce such as Tabasco or Kaitaia Fire
Salt and pepper
Extra virgin olive oil
Chopped parsley
Saute the onion and garlic in olive oil for 5 minutes. Blanch the tomatoes in boiling water and remove the skins. Chop into chunks.
Peel and chop the cucumber.
Put all the ingredients into the food processor and process until small chunks. Add the tomato juice, Worcestershire sauce and Tabasco. Season to taste and chill well.
Serve in tall glasses with a swirl of extra virgin olive oil and chopped parsley.
Makes 16 tarts Either make your own short crust pastry or use bought sheets of pastry.
2 cups crab meat - you can use canned crab - Sealord brand crab meat works just fine
2 eggs
2 Tbsp each of fresh chopped chives, parsley and marjoram
cup grated parmigiano reggiano
Preheat the oven to 190 degrees Celsius.
Fill muffin tins with pastry.
Mix the crab meat with lightly beaten eggs, the herbs and the cheese.
Three-quarter fill the pastry cases and bake in the oven until the tarts are puffy and golden. About 15-20 minutes.
Serves 8
To make the confit
8 duck legs
6 cups rendered duck fat - you can buy this in supermarkets that stock duck
3 Tbsp fresh thyme
3 Tbsp juniper berries
4 cloves garlic
2 bay leaves
2 Tbsp sea salt
1 tsp black peppercorns
Pound the thyme, juniper berries, garlic, bay leaves, salt and pepper in a mortar and pestle until it forms a paste. Smear this all over the duck legs, cover and refrigerate for 24 hours.
Remove from the fridge and bring up to room temperature. Heat the oven to 150°C.
Put the duck legs into an ovenproof dish that holds them snugly. Melt the rendered duck fat and pour over the duck legs to completely immerse them.
Bake for about 2.5 hours. The meat should come away from the bone easily.
You can prepare this several days ahead as the meat will hold in the fat. On the day of serving remove from the fat and wipe clean.
Cook skin-side down in a hot fry pan until golden, turn the meat and either continue cooking on the stove or transfer to the oven for 15 minutes.
Serve with a red wine glaze. I use the Essential Cuisine brand available at Collingwood St Fresh Choice.
2 cups peas
2 cups broad beans
2 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp chopped fresh mint
Salt and pepper to taste
Cook peas and shelled broad beans until tender. Drain and mash with butter and salt and pepper to taste. Add mint.
2 red peppers roasted and skin removed
2 red onions cut into quarters
4 tomatoes
8 baby carrots
3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
Salt and pepper to taste
Roast the red onions. Slice the tomatoes. Lightly steam the carrots and then slice longways. Char the peppers and remove the skins. Shred into thin slices.
Toss all the vegetables together with the olive oil and balsamic. Season to taste.

The apartment was everything the ad described. Upon arrival we found it very clean, with fresh linens, well organized and very welcoming. We loved walking around the neighborhood, where we felt safe and able to easily reach the subway and other amenities.
Prior to rental period, the owner contacted me promptly each time I had questions and provided information in a friendly and efficient manner. Ours was a very positive experience with this rental and would not hesitate to go back or to recommend this apartment to anyone!
This apartment was a great fit for our short family stay in Chicago. It accommodated the four of us comfortably and the location in Andersonville was perfect for our needs. Everything was near-by, shops, bus lines, the Red line station and beyond that a short walk to the lake (a must if you are visiting in the summer!) Great overall.
Great Neighbourhood.
Felt welcome with Fruit/maps/local info.
Enjoyed the APT.
Close to Transit.
I really enjoyed the neighbourhood. Close to the Redline and some amazing parks, beaches, and restaurants.
Loved the breakfast spread Graz left us. Back yard a great place for a beer in the evening.
Easy to communicate with. Well stocked with toiletries and towels ect.
Lots of local pamphlets left in apt. if you're looking for things to do in CHI.
Would strongly consider staying here again.
Being from Chciago, we stayed at Graz's as a mini "staycation" for the weekend. The apartment was beautiful and just as described, with a lovely backyard area that we really enjoyed. The area was great, just south of Andersonville, which is a bit of a ways from downtown but perfect for us. Graz was perfectly hospitable, making it check-in and check-out very easy. We will likely stay here again in the future as a relaxing retreat.
Nous avions réservé début aout 1 semaine chez Anton. Avant notre arrivée Anton nous a bien guidé de l'aèroport jusqu'à sa maison, ou il nous attendait pour nous accueillir et nous la faire découvrir. Nous avons trouvé sa maison (très propre) et son jardin encore plus jolie que sur la description du site. Le quartier était très agréable à vivre, proche du train pour le centre de Chicago, ce qui a rendu notre séjour facile. La maison possède tous les équipements et le confort pour 5 personnes, il y a 2 belles chambres, une grande cuisine, salle à manger, et salon (avec 1 lit 1 place) et une petite véranda bien agréable.Le jardin extérieur avec tables, chaises et barbecue est très plaisant. Nous remercions Anton pour les informations et renseignements qu'il a pu nous donner dans la semaine pour nous aider dans notre séjour à Chicago. En conclusion nous sommes très satisfait da cette réservation, que nous conseillons vivement.
The apartment was as described and completely charming! Graz was rather hospitable and communicated well. We will likely stay again.
Graz was very friendly and flexible about check-in and check-out. The flat was clean, comfortable, beautiful, and located in a great place at the south end of Andersonville. The kitchen was stocked with some nice basics so we didn't need to make an immediate run to the store - fruit, bread, eggs, etc. I would definitely book his place again for my family's visits!
My son (21) and I enjoyed our brief stay hosted by Graz. The flat was comfortable and very convenient to Andersonville.
While everything was neat, clean and very organized I might be cautious using the term "elegant" - frankly that wasn't what we were looking for anyway.
I'd certainly stay there again - be aware TV is very limited...but hey who comes to Chicago to watch TV? Everything is convenient, great food, bars, shops, groceries.
And loved the bowl of fresh fruit upon arrival!!
We really enjoyed our week at Graz' apartment. It was perfect for our family, with a nice living room and dining room. The single bed in the living room was very handy given that our two teenagers each wanted their own bed. The apartment is decorated with taste, and well equipped. We also enjoyed having breakfast or dinner in the garden. Graz was extremely responsive to our needs, and even went to buy extra pots and pans so that we could cook! He answered very quickly whenever we sent questions by email.
Clark Street in Andersonville is very pleasant with lots of nice little shops and restaurants. The red line takes you directly to downtown in about 30 minutes, so this location was perfect for us. It is also a 20-minute walk to a beautiful sandy beach.
There is a Jewel grocery right by Berwyn subway station (one stop after Argyle), which was very handy on our way back home each day. We stayed 7 days but would have stayed longer. Thanks Graz!
Graz was a great guest and I would welcome him back. He left the apartment in good shape.
Graz was perfect. Knew the protocol and enjoyed his stay in my NYCmidtown apartment. Would highly recommend him to future airbnb hosts
Graz was a perfect guest, pleasant and easy to deal with. He kept me up to date on his plans and left the place neat and clean. As an experienced host himself, he clearly knows how to be a good guest too! Welcome back any time.
Such a great guest !
Very sympathetic and easy talking. The apartment was very clean, a pleasure to have you !
Graz was the perfect guest. We had excellent communication before and during his stay. I walked back into my apartment to find everything intact and as clean as I'd left it. I'm usually very picky, yet Graz scored high marks. I would highly recommend him highly as a guest in anyone' s home.
Anton was a great guest; very easy to communicate with and he left everything very clean and orderly. I'd be happy to have him stay again in the future.
Como ya imaginaba, ha sido perfecto tener a Anton en casa. Se nota que le gusta Madrid, El Español (que habla perfectamente) y viajar ;-). Un amante del diseño y el arte. No dudéis en contar con él! Abrazos Anton, sé que volverás de nuevo a Madrid y gracias por cuidar mi casa! ;-)
Anton was extremely courteous and very easy to get in touch with. He washed all his dishes, made the bed and cleaned up after himself. Polite,respectful and trustworthy.
Great guest-- he left the apartment very clean and was easy to communicate with. I definitely recommend him on airbnb!
Antón ha sido un gran huésped. No hemos tenido ningun inconveniente, hemos tenido muy buena comunicación para aclarar dudas y ponernos de acuerdo, y me ha dejado el apartamento más limpio que cuando se lo entregué. Ojalá coincidamos de nuevo.
Hasta pronto, Antón!!

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
26 Apr 2006 21:12 GMT
Many hundreds of riot police in black on Wednesday surrounded the Judges Club in central Cairo, where a small group of activists had gathered to show support for judges demanding judicial independence and for two judges facing dismissal.
Plainclothes police then moved in and pulled the demonstrators out of the club one by one, witnesses said.
Women screamed and, as protesters shouted "Down with (President Hosni) Mubarak", the police pulled down the banners and an Egyptian flag the demonstrators had put on the club wall.
The Judges Club and the government have been heading towards confrontation since last year, when prominent judges revived their demand for a new law giving them financial and administrative independence from the Ministry of Justice.
The two sides also disagreed over the conduct of last year's presidential and parliamentary elections, which were meant to take place under full judicial supervision. Judges reported many abuses and in some cases outright fraud.
Disciplinary committee
Two judges, Mahmoud Mekky and Hesham Bastawisi, are due to appear before a disciplinary committee on Thursday, accused of damaging the reputation of the judiciary in remarks about the elections on satellite television stations.
The Judges Club, an informal and independent institution, has called a general assembly on Thursday to support them.
The activists held on Wednesdayincluded two Kefaya membersThe activists detained on Wednesday included Kamal Khalil, a leftist prominent in last year's demonstrations against Mubarak by the Kefaya (Enough) Movement, and journalist Ibrahim Sahary, another prominent Kefaya member.
The activists held on Wednesdayincluded two Kefaya members
The liberal Ghad Party of imprisoned opposition leader Ayman Nour said police also detained some of its members.
The opposition Muslim Brotherhood said police detained six of its members in the Mediterranean city of Alexandria on Wednesday because they helped organise a rally of 3,000 people in the city in solidarity with the judges.
About 3,000 riot police surrounded that meeting, witnesses said.

We wanted to celebrate Chinese New Year on Thursday - the official first day of the Lunar New Year. Didn't happen. Then we hoped to celebrate on Saturday. Nope. On Sunday Chris took the boys to church and I kept the girls home since we had three still recovering from fever/nausea/rash. And we were finally able to get the party started. The girls and I began by pulling down box after box of keepsakes gathered during eight trips to China. We looked through it all. Pearls and jade bought for the girls.

Happy 11th.
Sophie Lu is 11. And, among many other things, she's a girl who knows her mind. So when it came time to pick a menu and shop for party accessories, I just got out of the way. She chose a local burger joint with the best sweet potato fries, ever. Chocolate Trifle, covered with chocolate chips. Pink party accessories. And mustaches... for everyone. I like this girl's style. Happy 11th, Sophie Lulu. I love you and the strong, beautiful young lady you have become. … [Read more...]

It was noisy. It was chaotic. It was wonderful. And the best part? Having this little one home. Be still my heart. To have her here, with us this year, was the greatest gift we could have ever imagined. But the kids wanted toys, too For some crazy reason. Tallula got a Frozen snuggle-thing. Whose one-size-fits-all sizing is evidently for much larger kids. But with Elsa's face on the front, does it really matter? Vivienne got the Bright Eyes Kitty. There were 3 Bright Eyes designs and 4 of my girls wanted one. Lula lost. Thankfully Lula is easy-going and … [Read more...]

In an effort to chronicle Clementine's journey accurately, I wanted to share the few pictures I took between then and now.

Sweet enough to agree to numerous efforts at a family photo of us on a busy street in Guangzhou, when we all should have been packing. We started the trip together when we met flying out of Birmingham, toured together in Beijing, and ended the trip together in Guangzhou. … [Read more...]

So today we will spoil him. Let him sleep in our bed. Carry … [Read more...]
Poppy = 5

And it was, whether or not I was happy about her turning a whole year older, a lot of fun. Additionally - trying to look on the bright side of this kids-getting-older thing - it is easier for me to remember my littlest's ages now. Jude is 8, Shep is 7, Vivienne is 6, Pop is 5 and Lula is 4. Until November, at least. Unlike last year, the birthday girl did not request another handmade crown.

Then she was inundated with a plethora of homemade cards. With cash and checks and coupons for free nail-painting and bed-making. Did I mention a plethora?

Passed repeatedly since the 1960s, the Voting Rights Act is a vital safeguard to the right to vote. But in 2013, the Supreme Court said major portions of the law are unconstitutional and can't be enforced unless Congress rewrites them. Learn More ›
Voting brings us together as Americans. But almost a half-century after Congress passed the Voting Rights Act of 1965, the right to vote is uncertain and the machinery of our elections is rickety.
In Washington, our state capitols, and in thousands of voting precincts from coast-to-coast, Common Cause is fighting to ensure that every adult American has easy access to the ballot and that every vote is counted as cast.
Together, we can:
- Strengthen laws to protect voting rights
- Make voting systems secure, reliable and verifiable
- Stop scams and intimidation campaigns that drive people away from the polls
- Ensure that every voter has an equal say in presidential elections
- End partisan redistricting, so voters choose our representatives rather than the other way around
We live in an information age, but misinformation is an all-too-prevalent part of modern elections, as partisans seek to depress turnout in targeted communities. Election saboteurs typically distribute literature publicizing erroneous voting hours and/or polling places. Some also use computer-generated "robocalls," and email chains to contact hundreds of voters simultaneously with deceptive messages; others distribute misinformation geared toward intimidating targeted voter groups and keeping them away from the polls. Learn More ›
While millions of Americans pay our taxes, do our banking, earn our livelihood, and buy and sell products and services online, today's email and Internet voting systems -- and those that will be available in the foreseeable future -- cannot be relied on to produce accurate, verifiable vote counts.

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
14 Jun 2011 06:25 GMT | Science & Technology, Politics, Egypt, India, Syria
The US Senate's website was hacked over the weekend, leading to a review of all of its websites, in the latest embarrassing breach of security to hit a major US-based institution.
Lulz Security, a loosely organised hacker group, broke into a public portion of the Senate website but did not reach behind a firewall into a more sensitive portion of the network, Martina Bradford, the deputy Senate sergeant at arms, said on Monday.
Despite the breach, the sergeant at arms office, which provides security for the Senate, said that the breach had not compromised any individual senator's information.
Lulz Security announced the hack on Monday.
"We were responding to their allegations. Basically what we're saying that the server they got into is for public access and is in the public side," Bradford said.
Lulz Security, which has previously claimed to have hacked into Sony's website and the US Public Broadcasting System (PBS), posted online a list of files that appear not to be sensitive but indicate the hackers had been into the Senate's computer network.
"We don't like the US government very much," Lulz Security said at the top of their release. "This is a small, just-for-kicks release of some internal data from Senate.gov - is this an act of war, gentlemen? Problem?"
The comment refers to reports that the US military had decided that it could respond to cyber attacks from foreign countries with traditional military force.
Senate staffers were alerted about the breach late on Monday.
"Although this intrusion is inconvenient, it does not compromise the security of the Senate's network, its members or staff," Bradford said in a statement.
"Specifically, there is no individual user account information on the server supporting senate.gov that could have been compromised."
Stewart Baker, a former cyber official at the Department of Homeland Security, said: "The hackers may have done the equivalent of burglarising the Senate and bragging because they managed to steal a bunch of souvenirs from the gift shop."
'Especially embarrassing'
The Senate has been the frequent target of hacking attacks, with tens of thousands thwarted each month, Senate sergeant at arms Terrance Gainer told the Reuters news agency in early June.
The break-in is just the latest in a series of embarrassing hacks against companies and organisations.
The International Monetary Fund has been hit, as have Lockheed Martin Corp, Citigroup Inc, Google and Michaels Stores.
The break-in would cause embarrassment at the Senate, John Bumgarner of the US Cyber Consequences Unit think tank, said.
"They're all valid directories," he said after looking at data that Lulz posted online. "This is an especially embarrassing incident for the US Senate, because they are often asking others to explain why their cybersecurity programmes have failed.
"The information disclosed online ... shows that the intruders had administrator-level access to the Senate server.
This access could have potentially been used as a jump-off point to compromise other systems in the network," he said.
'Laugh out loud'
Lulz, which is internet slang for 'laugh out loud,' has claimed hacks into websites owned by Sony Corp.
It has also claimed responsibility for defacing the PBS network websites, and for posting on Monday data from PBS servers to protest a "Front Line" documentary about WikiLeaks.
Lulz claimed credit for breaking into a Fox.com website and publishing data about contestants for the upcoming Fox TV talent show, "X Factor".
Another loosely affiliated hacking group, Anonymous, gained prominence when it temporarily crippled the websites of MasterCard, Visa and PayPal after they cut off financial services to WikiLeaks.
It has also attacked websites in Syria, Tunisia, Egypt and India for political reasons.

Ridekick provides an electric boost to regular bicycles
By Ben Coxworth
December 28, 2011
Although some cycling purists may sneer at them, electric bicycles certainly do come in handy when hills need to be climbed on morning commutes, or loads need to be hauled. E-bikes can be quite expensive, however, plus their motors and batteries make them heavy and clunky when their electric-assist feature isn't being used. That's where the Ridekick ...well, where it kicks in. The motorized trailer quickly hooks onto an existing bicycle, pushing it to speeds of up to 19 mph (30.5 km/h), for a distance of about 12 miles (19 km) per charge. When you want your regular ol' human-powered bike back, you just unhook it and go.
The Ridekick has a 24-volt sealed lead acid battery pack that takes four to six hours to charge, and that powers a 500-watt electric motor. A chain drive runs from that motor to the axle, at the left-hand wheel. Speed is controlled by a handlebar-mounted throttle, that is hardwired to a microprocessor in the trailer.
Initial installation of the mounting mechanism on the bicycle's rear axle is said to take under 12 minutes for most bikes, with subsequent hook-ups and releases of the trailer taking less than 15 seconds.
In a clever bit of engineering, the trailer has some extra cargo space, so it serves as more than just a receptacle for the motor and battery. Riders can cram in a maximum of 11 US gallons (42 liters) of stuff, then secure the lid using its built-in combination lock. The trailer weighs about 45 pounds (20 kg), without any rider-added cargo.
The Ridekick can be purchased via the company website for US$699, and can be seen in action in the video below.

Hang on, this isn't news. Nor is it state of the art, nor innovative.
Lots of us have been making push trailers for years.
It doesnt have lithium batteries, and I'm not even sure the motor is brushless.
Most handmade ones would at least include a ~40watt solar charger.
And the 500 watt motor would fail EU conditions as well as AU.
Looks pretty, but this just isn't new news.SamD

Carhartt Sandstone Bib Overalls 16 16
returned items Returned to store, when ordered I ask for the color of the jacket I was wearing ( dark Green). the salesperson may have been a tad bit color blind. second I got the size I ask for but they were still to tight on me, so that is the other reason I returned them. other than those two issues I Love the Product. I would suggest the product to future byers. March 10, 2015
Do not use size chart At first I used the Carhartt sizing chart and ordered a pair according to what size they claimed I should wear. Quite the difference once I tried them on, way too short. Sent back and ordered the next size up. Much better fit. I wear these almost daily for outdoor work and love them. The only complaint is that the zippered legs always unzip the first few inches just from the way the zipper lays at your boots, the boots cause it to back off. Wish the zipper locked better. Everything else is great! I am 5'9" 155lbs. and kept size 32x32 January 28, 2015
Excellet Excellent price and moneys worth for sure......... January 21, 2015
good quality Like them a lot, wish I had more room under the crotch, the overall straps are as far out as possible need strap to stretch a little. January 21, 2015
Great Product Can't go wrong with these bibs will last for a long time January 10, 2015
Great Purchase! These overalls were shipped fast and at a good price. They are very comfortalbe and warm. January 6, 2015
Great item Great item, Great price, Recommend these to guys that work outside. December 2, 2014
LOVE THEM!!!! I finally had to get my own, so my husband could have his back. I absolutely LOVE them, so much so we bought our 2 year old daughter her own so we could save on all the messy clothes from playing outside. March 24, 2014
Sandstone bib overalls These overalls are very comfortable and warm. The only thing I would add to these would be a button at bottom of leg to keep zipper from opening. January 19, 2014
Great Quality, good fit, great for outdoor work ! This was purchased as a Christmas Gift for my son, who works outdoors. I originally purchased a smaller size, but returned and ordered online through the store with assistance from a great associate. The item shipped promptly to my home and my son LOVES them. Order at least a size larger though to layer clothes underneath if being used for outside work. January 9, 2014

Is it possible that something might be mentioned in the 12:00 CC about the deal??
Let's hope so.
BET announced that they will be moving all forceps lines in the Mentor, Ohio plant to Reynosa Mexico. This is a large percentage of the facility. It seems that this will only affect the assembly end of manufacture. Mentor also houses a machining and molding division. How long before they move these? Sounds like Bard is making moves to cut cost and streamline operations. Now if they could go in and bust up the good ol' boy network of multi-level managers! Also see signs of multi VP's being replaced by one individual! Did Bard learn Tyco's aggressiveness?
one more thought. I was concerned with the earnings and disappointed in the sales. 6% growth seems a little low. The 15% earnings was fine but I'm not sure that it's sustainable without additional measures that have been left undefined.
The stock looks fairly valued at 57-58. The dividend is back and that is probably a good thing since no one can seem to figure out what to do with excess cash at Bard. Can or will Bard enact the cost cutting plan that Tyco had put together? I heard from some friends that BPT and IMPRA were joining together but have not seen a public announcement and nor do I quite understand what it means. Hopefully this means some cost efficiency in sales, marketing, administration and R&D. I'm optimistic that it's good news. I'm surprised and a little disappointed that BMD and BUD have not been joined back together or perhaps they have and BET and Davol seem logical. These under 150-175 M divisions are not cost effective! I'm wondering what cost cutting is going on in New Jersey if any? The three ways this stock can move are: acquisition, better bottom line, or new technology. I've been impressed with the debt reduction and buy back of stock, I would rather see this than an increase in the dividend. Bard has always acquired new technology but in the past few years has not seemed to be in the acquisition market. A better bottom line comes from cost efficiency and I know that they've worked on COGS but what about SG&A. And they are still small enough to be acquired but by who? Hopefully they'll jettison these "VP of Special Projects" titles that they have put on people in the past. They have left some valuable people dangling and absorbed unneeded costs. Move these people on either to a new company where they can perform again or a defined job within Bard.
I cannot understand the apparent lack of interest on this message board. Is there no one out there who has questions or comments regarding Bard? The stock has performed well after the "no deal" and the first quarter report seemed in line with expectations. Not even an "at a boy". I just don't understand it. 10
The point of investing is to make money. Whether a company is a good company or a bad company is dependent on a lot of things. Subjectively, if you, your friends or family are the subject of downsizing, a bad boss, no raises, or any number of other bad job actions, then this could be the result of a small adverse result that was taken against a few by a great company.
You could not like Tyco because Bard let some people go in order to get the deal to go through. You could not like Tyco because after the deal with Bard was announced Tyco's stock cratered. There is much about Tyco that doesn't need to be repeated here or for my benefit. I read the news often for my holdings and while Tyco isn't the perfect company, it's been a good investment for me.
I'm sure the same could be said for Bard. Those who do or have worked there have seemed to me to have appeared on this Board and their point of view is quite transparent. Yet I go back to the original point, which is buying and selling stocks is done for the sole reason to make as much money with as little risk as possible. I try to do that with companies that might be good places to work but since those ratings aren't always objective and the listing of such companies is usually pretty short, this isn't one of my screens.
Best of luck to you.
I think that you missed the point of my post. I am not attacking your numbers or your analysis. I am simply responding to your zeal for TYC. Personally, I don't care for the way they do business. If you do, fine. You are certainly entitled to your opinion. I can accept that. Can you accept that in other's eyes a company can grow quickly and make a lot of money yet not be a good company?
Several people I know at Bard lost their job because of the dance that Bard and Tyco did together. Maybe you think of "good business", but I think of family bread winners forcibly put on the job market in the middle of an economic downturn so that someone else can line his pockets. I have a problem with that.
You can remain a fan of Tyco as long as you want. You won't be winning me over anytime soon though. Good luck on your mission.
Guys, Bard is the same old place it has been since Longfellow got there. They have cut back at corporate but many of the good people were let go and the butt kissers retained. It take good management to recognize potential and so the future bodes poorly for Bard until the Long fellow is replaced. Buy Tyco and forget Bard, they're just a boys club for now.
Thanks for your compliment. I don't work at Tyco but I do own some of their shares. Everytime the 'fickle media', as you describe them, takes a shot at Tyco, I've made a lot of money buying shares and then selling them in 6 to 15 months. I've made way more money in TYC in 3 years than BCR in 12, although arguably with somewhat more risk.
As for numbers not meaning anything about Tyco's future, I beg to differ. I had the good luck to own US Surgical, a real company, before TYC bought them. My wife is in the neurosurgery field and works in several hospitals in our metro area. So the Peter Lynch theory about buying something you know has worked for us. If Tyco splits into 4 companies, which I haven't heard much about recently, I can assure you that the healthcare division of Tyco would be one I would hold. If it bought BCR, my comfort and confidence level in that company for the near term would be high.
BCR has been lackluster in the sense of underperforming the major averages until TYC came along. Nevertheless, BCR has been positive. Reinvesting dividends over 12 years has made up for much of the underperformance since the reinvested money bought shares of BCR on the cheap. As for its business, some portions of BCR have been very innovative and others have not. Longfield's job isn't to innovate, it is to enable and reward those who do. This is separate from his other job to maximize value for all shareholders, which I have some expectation he will.
BCR being a small fish in a big pond with some tough competitors means it has to innovate, grow or dress up for sale. Sometimes those aren't mutually exclusive.
The numbers mean a lot for Tyco and Bard. Which ones do you want to debate?
BARD just announced that the deal with TYCO is over.
bard needs to look for another partner!

Boating, fishing, relaxing lifestyle and spectacular views!
Full service marina, nearby restaurants, boating, fishing, relaxing atmosphere.
The house was perfect for my family. We had plenty of room to relax and stretch out. Pool was very nice and just across the road. it was private and pushed back from the main road. We would stay here again in a heart beat. Owner was very easy to work with.
My family and I just left this location this past Sunday and we miss it so much already! Angler's club is a quaint place to stay. The location is perfect. The fishing and boating was fantastic! We were able to catch tarpon and plenty of other edible fish that we had for dinner on some nights. This particular town home was absolutely gorgeous (even better than the pictures). There was plenty of room for my large family to sleep comfortably. All of the rooms were decorated nicely and had all of the right amenities. I highly recommend this place to people who are looking for a getaway! Hopefully it will be available for us to stay in next year for our annual fishing and boating family vacation!
My wife and I spent a week here and loved it! Location was perfect for us, the house was better than advertized. Everything was in order and spotlessly clean. The one little hick up we had with the wifi was promptly resolved with the owner who was easy to reach and work with. We rented a boat at the Gasparilla Marina which is in walking distance and it was great to be able to dock right at the condo. All in all just a great place!
The pictures are a perfect representation of the unit. Our first impression walking in the front door was WOW. The kitchen is vast and had all the amenities for a perfect stay. The accommodations are great and there is plenty of room to relax with two decks to look at the marina and canal while drinking your morning coffee. A lot of work was done on this home and it shows. Angler's Club is a quiet area nestled behind the Gasparilla marina and is easy to access. The pool is directly across the street and the cabana was a nice feature. Easy access to Boca Grande beaches and shopping. Restaurants are close by if you don't want to cook. The owner is very helpful and answers your questions quickly.
Great open living area with impressive kitchen. Easy access to local restaurants and Boca Grande island. Extremely clean and updated. Pool and private cabana right out the front door. We will look to stay here again next year for annual trip.
We left the cold and snow in Michigan for a warm get-away in Florida. We were not disappointed with the condo we rented. The place was just as we expected from the pictures. It was beautiful! There was enough room for all nine of us, to spend the week comfortably. The condo was very clean and nicely decorated. We found it to be a nice, quiet, private area. I loved all of the covered porches there were to sit on, and enjoy the warm weather. The owner was always quick to respond to any questions that I had.
While there, we used the swimming pool a few days. It is conveniently located right across from the condo. We went to the beaches of BocaGrande and Englewood, which are within 10-15 miles of the condo. We only ate one meal out, and that was at the Marina Bar & Grill, located about a half mile away. We walked there one evening, and it was very good. The rest of our meals were made in the spacious, well-furnished kitchen, of our place.
I would definitely recommend this condo. I wish I could return today, since it is around 30 below zero right now.
