PoliticsRumors swirl about Palestinian PM resignation Salam Fayyad has reportedly offered to resign amidst a growing dispute over his management of government in West Bank. 11 Apr 2013 22:10 GMT | Politics, Middle East, US & Canada, Israel, Qatar Abbas and Fayyad were due to meet on Thursday, but their talks were unexpectedly cancelled [EPA]Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas is facing Western pressure not to allow his prime minister, Salam Fayyad, to resign at a time when the United States is trying to restart peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians. The Reuters news agency reported on Thursday that Fayyad submitted his resignation, after weeks of conflict over his handling of the government and an economic crisis in the occupied West Bank. His letter of resignation was reportedly drafted last month. Azzam al-Ahmed, a senior member of the ruling Fatah movement, said that Abbas and Fayyad would meet on Thursday, after the president returned from Qatar, to discuss Fayyad's possible resignation. But their discussion never happened, and it remains unclear when the two might meet. "The meeting planned for Thursday evening has been postponed until further notice," a Palestinian source told the AFP news agency, without giving a reason. 'He's not doing it' Fayyad, a former World Bank official, is popular in the West for his efforts to build government institutions in the West Bank. Talk of his resignation was quickly dismissed by US and European diplomats. A senior official at the US State Department told reporters that he did not believe Fayyad was on the verge of resigning. "He's not tendering his resignation to the best of my knowledge. He's not doing it," the official said on the sidelines of G8 talks in London, according to AFP. "As far as I know he's sticking around." John Kerry, the US secretary of state, is trying to broker a new round of talks between Israel and the Palestinians, and diplomats said Fayyad's resignation would complicate that effort. "Pressure is being put on Abbas to sit on this resignation offer for at least two months to see what comes of the US initiative," said a senior European diplomat, who declined to be named because of the sensitivity of the issue, according to Reuters. Fayyad's reputation among Palestinians is more mixed; a growing number of people are angry about his stewardship of the stagnant economy. The Palestinian Authority is in a serious financial crisis, partly because hundreds of millions of dollars in promised foreign aid have not materialised. 'Fayyad will have to decide' Longstanding tensions between Fayyad and Abbas peaked on March 2 when the Palestinian finance minister, Nabil Qassis, announced that he was standing down. Abbas, who was abroad at the time, rejected the resignation but Fayyad agreed to it. The crisis over the finance minister "was the reason for Fayyad's resignation," Ahmed said. "Fayyad will have to decide today whether to keep Qassis in his post, or to resign as head of the government," he added. Last week, the Fatah Revolutionary Council for the first time openly criticised Fayyad's government over its economic policy. "The policies of the current Palestinian government are improvised and confused in many issues of finance and the economy," it said. The criticism came as several high-ranking officials suggested Abbas might be about to dismiss Fayyad, who has also threatened to resign several times in the past.Source: Agencies

Featured Book The Tudor Revival (Calum's Curse: Book Three) by Sky Purington
Featured Book Dirty Black Winter by Nickolaus Pacione
Publisher: Hodge Podge USA. Author: Gary Ludwig. 36 pp. NEW BOOK. Soft cover booklet. 5.5" x 8.5". Photos & Illustrations. Historical narrative originally published in 1979 as a four part magazine series to note the 100th anniversary of the crime.
Six desperate men insured and then killed an old mountain man. All six had blue eyes! Gary Ludwig cuts through the typical myths and exaggerations of many notorious events of local histories to write a condensed and thorough account of one of the most infamous 19th century murders. It took place within the isolated, poverty-stricken community located up against the Blue Mountains in North Lebanon County, Pennsylvania, which was occupied by some of the most desperate people of the time. Arguably the first insurance murder in America and setting legal precedent - the first time conspirators went to the gallows along with those who did the actual killing. However, while covering the trial a Philadelphia newspaper reporter's observation caused a national sensation. He reported that all six defendants had blue eyes! The story has been a part of Pennsylvania folklore every since. Buy your copy now. www.hodgepodgeusa.com

The stuff on which we write is either parchment or vellum, which are sometimes interchangeable. However, the evidence for the etymology of the word seems conclusive in that we look to different languages for fine writing material. In Latin we have Vitellus, in Italian, Vitello. In Frech it is Veau. In the last two citations, we can find the words on menus. It would seem logical to read vellum as calf skin. As for parchment, Oxford scholars feel the name was derived from the settlement of Pergamum, found in Magna Grecia along the southwest coast of Italy. Alas, languages get "dumbed down" to indiscriminate word usage and it would seem that now both writing materials are often interchangeably.

Great Article on the Manglitsa Breed! My son is very interested in this breed as well and talks about them and their benefits often. That's why I thought I would google the Royal Mangalitsa!
Hello! Thank you for your article. I'd like to try to compare it to my previous experience of learning easy Italian lessons through Skype on online classes for free. I did around 10 conversations over Skype with a native speaker from http://preply.com/en/italian-by-skype. And I was pretty satisfied with their Quality. I think they have a strong teaching quality.Following their course curriculum now I can speak Italian like a native,you don't need to go any school. but I Want to try another option.
Myself and most of my neighbors in Petaluma all have catchment tanks and grey water systems, mostly because we want to keep are water bills down.
Mainly, the reason municipalities are reluctant to encourage residential water saving, is because it's a source of revenue. (e.g. Petaluma has a $165 million bond to pay off)
Residential water use is such an insignificant part of the equation. If so called "pioneering activists" like Trathen Heckman and Daily Acts are sincerely concerned about these water resource issues, he and his org should've been more actively involved when the City of Petaluma approved two giant shopping centers, one having a large health club. Yet, I don't recall seeing him at any of the public meetings. For instance, the new Target shopping center is using 3 million+ gallons/year, (it's all documented in the hydrology report, if anyone from DA cared to read.
Commercial industry and AG is where the systemic problem sits. Rohnert Park just built a Casino with 15 restaurants with a hotel planned soon. RP also just finished building 244 condos behind the Casino. Has anybody heard of the recently approved Coliseum City on Oakland water front? New sports arena, retail/offices and 6,000 homes. SF Mayor Lee's ballot measure to build 30,000 new apartments by 2020? Policy makers need to make serious changes to building/planning requirements, when it comes to grey water/catch systems and water conservation. Just saying...
Rain barrels work. I have five and haven't pulled out the hose in the front yard yet this winter! Besides, our plants like rain barrel water runoff because it's not got any of the chloramines or salt in it! It's really worth it and fun as well! We in SoCal have rebates via Metropolitan Water District. It's time for our local districts to promote this worthwhile investment of basically $10 each!
The quote, "As for rain barrels at [the] home level, they are not very cost-efficient. It is much better and cheaper to direct your storm runoff onto your lawn or flower beds and let it soak in." is why rain harvesting has an uphill struggle for legitimacy. Let me put this very succinctly; that's rubbish.
In drought conditions, stormwater does not infiltrate but sheet flows off lawns and gardens until they are already slightly saturated enough for the water to infiltrate.
Yes, tiny 50 gallon rain barrels are useless. But up that to say 200USG per downspout or about 600-1000USG per home and you'll notice a significant reduction in both runoff impacts and potable water demand. Volume is king but so is having capacity available to catch and hold that storm when it arrives.
I'll leave this thread with one suggestion, RainGrid lot level stormwater utilities distribute automated cisterns to householders free of charge on the basis that catching stormwater at the lot level actually pays for itself in saved infrastructure damage and insurance risk reduction. And that's before even bringing potable water conservation into the discussion.
The war on peaceful cannabis consumers has been raging for more than 80 years. How much more blood needs to be spilled before the prohibitionists finally give up the fight or the more sensible public demands immediate change?
Cannabis prohibition has never been about public safety, its always been about money and lots of it.
Please demand full legalization and nothing less! Let's end this war as soon as possible!
Is there anything you did, once, 40 years ago that you believe still defines who you are now and is used to introduce you? More accurately, did one of your ancestors do something that you'd include on your CV. This is ridiculous; the Light's recent melodramatic history and internecine warfare is far more entertaining. Keep the sideshow going, its worth the small price of admission.
Bohemian - I expect a higher standard from journalism than I read in this article. The article claims the USDA's organic standards are "far below" those used in Marin County. The article later claims there are local organic certifications that are beyond the USDA standards. Marin Organic Certified Agriculture program (MOCA) is accredited by the USDA. Organic certification bodies operating under that label in this country and internationally are certifying to the same standards, it is the law.
I am offended by the implication that the entirety of China as a nation is incapable of upholding a standard. The National Organic Program (NOP) reviewed the performance of Chinese certifiers in 2010. Anyone can dial it up on the WWW and read the assessment on their performance. This is the power and the importance of the USDA Organic Program. We can all observe and steward the process of upholding the organic standards; this is something we don't get in conventional food systems. The Organic movement asked the federal government to oversee organics. In the Organic Food Production Act of 1990, Congress gave the USDA the responsibility of oversight.
The article references a time when 15 years ago farmers said USDA organic was not good enough. A bigger picture is needed to understand this historical reference. The USDA issued a first draft of organic standards that infuriated the organic community because they included allowances for sewage sludge, GMOs and irradiation. The USDA received a flood of comments from the entire community of organic constituents, insisting on the exclusion of the aforementioned methods. The USDA redrafted the standards. This is the power of organics.
We get to know everything that goes on with organic food from seed to table. The article states that the "organic label certifies the method of farming; it is not a verification of the final product". I'm totally confused by that statement. When a product is labeled organic, a consumer can understand every input or processing allowed in the farming or manufacturing. A farmer's organic system plan and a manufacturer's processing and inputs must comply with the organic system. That's why we have certifiers. I find the transparency of the organic system far superior to what I cannot know in the conventional food system. When the National Organic Standard Board reviews materials allowed in organic systems, I can make a comment to them directly at the meeting. Organics is self auditing, correcting and interactive with constituents. Which food system do you want to support?
Update: No go for Michael's case at the Supreme Court. Dangit. Check our Open Mic this week for an editorial from him on the experience.
People on boats are subject to maritime law. Whenever someone on a boat claims their civil rights have been violated, it's important to ask how? Usually, the complaint is they've experienced 'a boarding', and in some cases a search of the boat. Law enforcement agents, whether a sheriff, port police officer or Coast Guardsman are authorized by law to board, inspect or search boats. These police powers derive from laws meant to control smuggling, the transport of illegal drugs, illegal immigrants and more.
There is plenty of controversy surrounding the subject of anchorage 'rights'. As long as a boat is not anchored in a channel impeding the flow of traffic, or anchored where warnings indicate doing so is prohibited due to underground pipes, cables or other obstructions, it is considered to be in the right. But, unfortunately law enforcement agents, municiple and State governments have in recent years begun to dilute what we perceive as our right to anchor. For example, although anchoring in the Oakland Alameda estuary does not impede traffic because there simply isn't any. But, this fact has not prevented law enforcement officers from telling you to haul anchor "because you can't anchor here." If you refuse, it will most likely lead to a boarding and search. There are all sorts of deficiencies - like expired flares, worn life vests, oil in the bilge, drug posession, an outstanding traffic warrant you forgot about and more - that can lead at minimum ciitations and even arrest. So, trying to assert your perceived right can create more trouble for you than it's worth. State and municipal governments, whether legally entitled or not are passing ordinances meant to control anchoring in waters adjacent to or within it's physical jurisdiction. Challenging these laws is expensive, time consuming and may prove fruitless if the federal government gives away it's authority over navigable waterways. Politics is playing an increasing significant role, and what kinds of changes may be in store with a Republican majority in the House of Representatives, and possibility the next President will be Republican, are unknown.
Having said all of this, the root cause of building momentum to exert control over anchorages is there are a increasing numbers of boats in various stages of disrepair, whether occupied or not. The worst case is the 'derelict', abandoned and threatening to sink. It is a simple fact that people taking refuge on boats do not usually have the financial means to 'fix up' a boat already in disrepair when obtained. So, they continue to deteriorate. Mr. Kiffer says "If you show up in Sausalito, with or without a boat, you won't be in need for long. You'll get a bunk or a whole boat! A foothold." A boat? Richardson Bay is heavily populated by so-called 'dollar boats'. Right, boats purchased for one dollar because control over them was assumed at some point by a marina or law enforcement agency because they were recovered by the marina or agency after dragging, or warnings mailed to owners of an apparently abandoned boat went unanswered. These boats are usually small, unsuited for living aboard and in many cases poorly maintained. Many of them drag or sink in winter storms, placing a burden upon the Richardson Bay Regional Agency for the cost of salvage and in some cases destruction.
Finally. I am not going to impugne the character of members of the 'anchor outs' by broadly classifying them into groups. I will say however, I have observed anarchical, anti-establishment, anti-government, in your face, "I'll kill anyone who gets in my way" attitudes that do not serve their best interests and garner effective support from anyone. In his post above, Mr. Kiffer serves as a good example of this. Some in Sausalito apparently believe their special needs and disadvantages places "anchor outs" in a special class of people who's responsibilities as citizens are waived and they are entitled to special dispensations and protection from the authorities. Perhaps. But at what cost to others who depend upon effective governance to protect, mediate, and resolve disputes between those who are affected in one way or another by the situation in Richardson Bay? Do people who own boats in Richardson Bay have a right to take possession of a public waterway - like squatters anywhere else - to the detriment of all other boaters who have equal right to use the same? What difference does it make that a hand full of "anchor outs" are creative? Allegedly artists and at least one film maker? I've read a novel penned by an anchor out, and by my estimation he's a pretty good writer. But there is a world full of artists, writers, film makers and very creative people who take their responsibilities as citizens seriously, obey local and State laws, and actually work to make a living. How many of the 'creative' anchor outs endeavour to work for a living with their art, films and what have you? And, if they are not able to earn "a living wage" by virtue of their creativity what effort are they making to support themselves by securing a job? There is not much incentive to find a job when you can rely on local charity to clothe and feed you.
Anchor outs are referred to by some as a "community" posessing a unique culture. Where are the features that qualify disconnected individuals on boats as a community? There is a group of individuals who meet in Dumphy park, picnic together and plot how to respond to efforts by the authorities to address issues related to Richardson Bay. There is even a plan to start a "paper" to inform locals and attract support. But, over all participation by all anchor outs is limited to a handful of people. Hardly a community. A special interest group consisting of a small number of people engaged in lobbying to pursue their ends? Yes. Culture? Again, if any thing, the disparate interests, backgrounds and individualism characteristic of the anchor outs defies the suggestion there is commonality in the beliefs, customs, arts, etc., of the anchor outs. The Dumphy Park group? Hardly representative of the total number of anchor outs.
Since I've been doing so upwards of 24 years I know what it means to live aboard a small boat. But, unlike those who identify as Sausalito's 'anchor outs', I've remained on the move; completing the greater part of 2 global circumnavigations mostly alone. 'Cruisers' like myself and local sailors in the S.F. Bay area used to be able to find room to anchor in Sausalito, whether for a weekend or longer. No more, because the entire area - both sides of the main channel - are clogged with illegally moored boats that rarely if ever move. Illegal because permits for the moorings required by ordinance, have never been applied for or received. It is one thing to empathize for people down on their luck. Quite another to relieve them of responsibilities as citizens, which includes respecting and obeying federal, state, and local laws. You do not need to be well fed, employed or have a clean record to comply with the laws of the land. It is unfathomable to believe law enforcement officers should be expected to overlook violations of local ordinances and State laws simply because people on boats in Richardson Bay are somehow disadvantaged.
All I ask for is order and an open area free of illegally moored boats where I and others who wish to anchor can. Unfortunately, this is unlikely to occur without a comprehensive change in how the Bay is used and managed. Presently - whether abandoned, stored, unnoccupied or lived upon - roughly 200 boats are on moorings or 'permanently at anchor' (until they drag in a storm) in Richardson Bay. The effect is the remainder of the boating community that would like to use the bay, a public waterway, can't. There are three possible outcomes in the debate about Richardson Bay. 1.) Things will remain unchanged which is untenable for many reasons. 2.) The anchorage wil be closed, or 3.) RBRA will install, maintain and manage a mooring field in addition to defining a managed anchorage for anchoring only. In order to eliminate any possibility illegal, serrupticiously installed illegal moorings will appear in the anchorage boats must be required to re-anchor every 15 days or so, and harbour police provided to monitor and enforce this and compliance with permit requirements. All boaters wanting to use a port mooring or anchor in the newly designated anchorage must submit their boat for inspection by either the Coast Guard or RBRA if the plan on staying longer than 72 hours.
This isn't only about the people. It's about fair play, equal opportunity for all boaters to use Richardson Bay, resource management and good citizenship.

As lethal as cheney Halliburton? Have you see any charges ever brought against Cheney on this?
A responsible article on a difficult subject with no simple answers. A refreshing change from the hyperbole reported by local newspapers as fact. At one extreme are those who want to evict the ranchers from the Park's pastoral zone and at the others those who want to evict the elk from the Park's pastoral zone. But some of us believe there is room in for both ranchers and elk, but it will take some work by the Park, willing collaboration by interested parties, and a tone down of the hyperbole.
Save the elk, the mission of a "National Park" trumps provincial interests. Elk long have been an emblem of what's wild, as the drought continues more and more hay must be imported to continue "farming", there is land designated for farming and some...very small on the scale in pecking order for National Park, I take exception with predators, poachers take numbers of elk every year, and cougar take calves, an old adults, on my own ranch caught 3 young men killing animals just to celebrate their new rifles...It is a miracle of sorts they are coming back...some, I gave up hunting years ago as could no longer pull the trigger, what will future generations find here? I hope they encounter elk as it never fails to straighten neck hair and lift your hat, the regal beauty and a connection to the primordial past...which is why we seek out National Parks...Save the Elk.
I've come to the conclusion that the new Boho editors are soft on environmental issues and lazy about doing their homework. Fluoride in drinking water has been proven to be detrimental to our health. The local gov't should not be forcing it on us. End of story.
At present, 97% of the western European population drinks non-fluoridated water. This includes: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Northern Ireland, Norway, Portugal, Scotland, Sweden, Switzerland, and approximately 90% of both the United Kingdom and Spain. Think they're onto something?

Denver Broncos: Von Miller is a Star
Is it possible that Von Miller has been forgotten about all ready, probably not but the Denver Broncos linebacker proved on Sunday that he can take over a game at anytime. Maybe there are a few people out there who are looking at the numbers and asking, what's wrong with Miller? Let me answer that for you, there's nothing wrong with the second year linebacker.
Miller finished the game versus the Cincinnati Bengals with three sacks and was never really blocked unless they were holding him. In addition to the pass rush, Miller is getting better and better versus the run and in pass coverage. The Broncos shut down the running game of the Bengals and Miller was a big part of that.
As a whole it was not the best day for the Broncos defense but they made the plays when they had to be made. After the Broncos took the lead in the fourth quarter, Miller and his teammates turned up the heat and forced a turnover that basically ended the football game.
Maybe Miller set the bar so high in his rookie season that people think he is not living up to those expectations. The truth is Miller is a much better overall player and he is only getting better. In 2011, he was a one-dimensional player and in 2012 he is turning into one of the best all-around linebackers in football.
It's time for a reminder to those who have forgotten that Miller is a great player and on Sunday, he turned on a dominating performance. The Denver Broncos are now 5-3, in control of the AFC West and Miller has had a big hand in all of that success.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) -- West Virginia's Rasheed Marshall never
had a chance when he and Pitt's Rod Rutherford were opposing high
school quarterbacks. In college, that's all changed.
Marshall outplayed his longtime rival in the Backyard Brawl for
the second straight season, throwing two touchdown passes and
running for another score to lead West Virginia to a convincing
52-31 victory over No. 16 Pittsburgh on Saturday night.
Quincy Wilson became the latest running back to put up big
numbers against the Panthers' leaky defense, rolling for 208 yards
and four touchdowns to help the Mountaineers to their fifth
straight victory and create a three-way tie atop the Big East
Wilson, Notre Dame's Julius Jones and Virginia Tech's Kevin
Jones have rushed for more than 200 yards against Pitt in the last
six games.
Pittsburgh (7-3, 4-1), No. 14 Miami (8-2, 4-1) and West Virginia
(6-4, 4-1) are even in the Big East, though the conference is
Miami's to win if it finishes by beating Rutgers and Pittsburgh.
Even if West Virginia beats Syracuse and Temple, Miami would be
higher rated in the BCS rankings. The Hurricanes also beat the
Mountaineers in head-to-head play.
Rutherford, whose Pittsburgh high school team beat Marshall's
three straight years, got off to a big start, throwing touchdown
passes to star Larry Fitzgerald of 23 and 45 yards on Pitt's first
two drives. Pitt led 14-10 and 24-17 before West Virginia drove 82
yards to tie it at 24 on Marshall's 28-yard pass to John Pennington
in the final minute of the first half.
But Rutherford, forced to throw on every key down in the second
half because West Virginia shut down Pitt's dismal-as-usual running
game, was intercepted three times in the second half -- half as many
interceptions as he threw in his first nine games. Pitt's leading
rusher was Lousaka Polite, with five carries for 9 yards. West
Virginia outrushed Pitt 307-10 while holding a 523-429 edge in
total offense.
Rutherford finished with four touchdown passes, two to Kris
Wilson, but still played possibly the worst half of his career.
After hitting Fitzgerald on two passes for 50 yards to drive
Pitt to the West Virginia 8 to start the second half, the momentum
changed dramatically when Rutherford threw an ill-advised pass into
heavy coverage in the rear of the end zone, with linebacker Grant
Wiley making the interception.
The Mountaineers, who lead the Big East with 18 interceptions,
didn't score off that turnover, but did off the next two.
Rutherford was intercepted again, by Lawrence Audena, on Pitt's
next possession, leading to Marshall's go-ahead 12-yard scoring run
five plays later.
After Pitt again went nowhere on offense, Lance Frazier's
72-yard punt return to the Panthers 3 set up Wilson's 1-yard
touchdown run that made it 38-24, and the rout was on.
Wilson, who grew up only a half-hour from Pittsburgh in Weirton,
W.Va., added touchdown runs of 1 and 36 yards as the Mountaineers
outscored Pitt 28-7 in the second half. Pittsburgh has allowed
1,582 yards rushing in its last seven games but has rushed for only
1,101 all season.
Fitzgerald finished with 185 yards on nine catches.
It was the third time in the last six years West Virginia has
rolled up 52 points against Pitt in one of the East's oldest major
college rivalries, one that has spanned 96 games since 1895. West
Virginia won 52-14 in 1998 and 52-21 in 1999, both with Marc Bulger
at quarterback.

OBITUARY : K'tut Tantri
From what can be pieced together it seems that Muriel Stuart Walker was born in Glasgow in 1898; her mother was from the Isle of Man and it is probable that she never knew her real father. Undeterred by this, she invented a life for him as an African explorer who disappeared in the jungle. She and her mother went to California in the years after the First World War, where Muriel Walker got work writing about Hollywood and the film industry, until one day in 1932, after seeing a film about Bali, she packed her paints and embarked on a new career and life in Indonesia.
Between 1930 and 1932 she had married an American, Karl Kenning Pearsen; she often said that he had been killed in a car crash with their two children, but there is no evidence that she ever had any children and she remained married to Pearsen, an alcoholic, until his death in 1957. Pearsen was older than her, and throughout her life she looked for a protector in older men, insisting that all her lawyers, producers and directors were men who could protect her.
When she arrived in Bali, she dyed her red hair black to escape comparison with a witch and was renamed K'tut (Balinese for fourth-born child) Tantri (possibly a Balinese pronunciation of "Tenchery", a name by which she sometimes went). She spent her first year painting and learning about traditional Balinese custom through her association with its royal family; she became especially close to the Raja's son Anak Agung Nura whom she described as her princely "soulmate", but she always denied any sexual involvement with him. Although Bali in the 1930s was Bohemian and personified the age-old Western search for paradise, attracting many writers and painters, any sexual relationship between Europeans and Balinese was frowned upon.
Leaving her royals behind, Tantri settled at Kuta, then a tiny fishing village on the south coast, where she was involved in opening the first hotel; she had many disputes with her business partners but certainly played a part in Bali's thriving pre-war tourist industry, becoming increasingly fond of the Balinese and increasingly disdainful of the Dutch colonists. She became known as "Mrs Manx", after her mother's birthplace, and indeed there are similarities between Bali and the Isle of Man which would have appealed to her idea of romance: both are mystical, quirky, independent islands. Diana Cooper stayed in Tantri's beach hotel and wrote about her visit in Trumpets From The Steep (1960), describing her as "no disappointment - old girl Manx, fifty, 4 ft high, a mop of black hair and a Mother Hubbard garment."
During the Japanese occupation, most Europeans left the islands but Tantri stayed on, going to Java. She was later accused of collaborating with the Japanese, but always remained evasive about what actually happened during the Second World War. In her autobiography, Revolt In Paradise (1960), she suggests that she was imprisoned and tortured by the Japanese and describes the years 1942-45 as "terrible, horrible - the horrible time - I don't want to talk about that time".
After the war she became committed to an independent Indonesia and broadcast for the radical guerrilla armies from their headquarters in East Java. She was known to the Allies as "Surabaya Sue". She later joined Sukarno's official republican administration, writing speeches for him; she described Sukarno as "the most impressive man I have ever met". Despite her involvement with subsequent Indonesian governments it must have upset her to discover that her name is missing from all serious books on the country. Was she deliberately omitted, or was much of her involvement fantasy?
By 1947, she had left Indonesia for Australia, but as she had no passport she was not allowed to stay; she went on to America where she wrote Revolt In Paradise, a book which was both widely and well-reviewed and much translated and which, despite its inconsistencies, probably contains more than a kernel of truth. For the next 30 years, she tried to get Revolt In Paradise made into a film, travelling all over the world staying in smart hotels at the expense of various film companies. But since she refused to alter any details of the book, offer after offer collapsed. When, in the late 1980s, by then a permanent resident of Australia, it became apparent that no film would be made, she cut herself off from the world and became increasingly suspicious of people. The writer Timothy Lindsey got to know her in her old age, which was spent in a nursing home in Sydney, and his recent book The Romance of K'tut Tantri and Indonesia (1997) does much to explain, without destroying, the essential artifice and romance of this enigmatic woman.
Muriel Stuart Walker (K'tut Tantri), journalist, hotelier, writer: born Glasgow 19 February 1898; married Karl Pearsen (died 1957); died Sydney 27 July 1997.

The Listening PostSpies, secrets and Israeli media What does the mysterious case of Prisoner X reveal about Israeli censorship? 23 Feb 2013 08:55 GMT | Politics, Arts & Culture, US & Canada, Egypt, Israel This week we focus on Israel and the story about one prisoner that revealed multiple layers of censorship. Prisoner X was a suspected Mossad operative-turned-double agent who, in 2010, reportedly committed suicide in an Israeli jail. In cases deemed too sensitive or a threat to national security, the Israeli government can issue gag orders that prevent the media from covering the story, which is what it did in the case of Prisoner X. But on February 12, the Australian network ABC News released a report revealing the prisoners real name - Ben Zygier – and details of his time in Israel. Grappling to contain the story, the Israeli government issued another gag order to prevent the Israeli media from citing international coverage. But with the story accessible to Israelis via social media, the order proved defunct. To discuss what this case reveals about Israeli censorship in the age of new media, we speak with Ian Black, the Middle East editor for The Guardian; Ronen Bergman, the senior correspondent for Military and Intelligence Affairs for the Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper; Tehilla Shwartz Altshuler, the head of Media Reform project at Israel Democracy Institute; and Noam Sheizaf, a journalist who writes for +972 Magazine. This week's Newsbytes: In Sri Lanka, another journalist from the independent newspaper Sunday Leader is targeted; one of Egypt's best-known journalists accuses the government of pushing him out of his job; and in the US, why President Obama's recent golfing trip angered the press corps. Gideon Levy - Going Against the Grain In our feature we stay with Israel and look at it through the eyes of one of its most outspoken journalists, Gideon Levy. Since 1982, Levy has been a reporter with the left-leaning Haaretz newspaper. His relentless reporting of Israel's occupation of the Palestinian territories has split Israeli opinion – to some he is a heroic journalist, to others he publishes pro-Palestinian propaganda. We look at the documentary Going Against the Grain by Al Jazeera's Renee Oudeh. It has been two months since the fatal shooting of school children in the US, and since then the issue of gun control has been a hotly debated issue in the country. It is a debate that is showing no signs of easing as neither side appear to be listening to the other. Regular viewers of the show will recognise the main character in our internet video of the week – it is Robert Foster from Rap News – the "news bulletin for the discerning viewer". In its latest video Rap News tackles the gun debate with the conspiracy theorist Terence Moonseed and right-wing General Baxter. We hope you enjoy the show!

The fact that they use the word "punishment" shows lack of understanding about what happened and is happening.
If you lie to me and get caught, and then I punch you in the nose, that's a punishment. But if you lie to me and get caught, and then after that I don't believe you whenever you tell me things, that's not punishment.
If Google and Mozilla are being "harsh" then the only ways one can honestly describe it, is that they have a "harsh opinion" or a "harsh estimate" of CNNIC's trustworthiness.
It's amusing to think that maybe some day this way of speaking will infect other areas. "That's sure a harsh calculation" or "this is a severe regex match" or "what a brutally spiteful and vindictive tree traversal."

when that doesn't work (because the door is in "locked" state), the terrorist just threatens the (co)pilot inside to cabin to unlock or he'll kill the pilot and/or everyone else... At which point the pilot opens the door anyway.
He might open the door if he's armed (with the intent to come out blasting), but otherwise I don't think that's very likely.

Having a "Locked" position is idiotic to the extreme.
Unfortunately, not having a "Locked" position would be the same amount of idiotic.
Giving one pilot (in the cockpit) the means to basically lock himself in with no ability for the other pilot to enter is too great a danger.
But also failing to give one pilot the means to lock out the other pilot would be too great a danger.
Both scenarios presume one pilot who intends to destroy the aircraft and one pilot who intends to save it. That's the presumption either way, and however you approach the problem it's going to come down to whether the bad guy is locked into, or locked out of, the cockpit.
It's a coin toss, not 9/11-triggered-stupidity corruption.

In regards to your first point, the system would have to be based on the offender's net worth rather than their income in the US, due to all of the tricks that the rich have paid to create in the tax code.
He was talking about hiding it. When things are hidden, tax loopholes are irrelevant because tax law isn't applied to the money in question anyway. If you can hide income then you can probably also hide the accumulated assets.
And as for loopholes, was the idea really based on income, or was it just taxable net?

If you're a shop owner, then presumably your goods are actually for sale, so you're willing to accept money in exchange for goods which don't suddenly explode and retroactively bind me to a previously-unknown contract after I step out of the store. Few people would be interested in stealing your goods, because they can simply hand you money for them.
I was talking about a very different scenario than anything you will ever face involving shopkeepers: DRM, i.e. a form of fraud. That situation presumes you intend harm to others, so yes, shooting all would-be-customers as they walk into your "store" (if I may use that term very loosely) just might blend into that context seamlessly.
Comment: Could work if they complete it (Score 0) 284
There needs to be more-than-ten years of imprisonment for using DRM. One work sold with DRM makes multiple people need to pirate it in order to watch it. If you sell a DRMed work that results in six people pirating it, then you get 60 years.
That would probably deter the crime of DRM, and once you do that, you eliminate the chief motive for piracy.
Just deal with both sides of the problem, and you might have a pretty good solution. The only remaining problem is that the constants are messed up and have a clipping problem on one side. If a million people pirate Game of Thrones, you can't really imprison the responsible HBO exec for ten million years. So make his sentence, say, 50 years, and then imprison each pirate for 50/10M years.

This has turned into a sensation almost immediately. YouTube has officially premiered a 60 fps video by posting a trailer for Battlefield Hardline and have posted this public message:
"Your video game footage with crazy high frame rates will soon look as awesome on YouTube as it does when you're playing, when we launch support for 48 and even 60 frames per second in the coming months."
The video can be seen below:
Hm, this really 60 fps?

Here I was, thinkink "man...Battlefield, police setting, this "might" actually be something different and cool", then I saw the trailer and was like "Oh right...it's still battlefield, but now you're blowing up a city instead of random landscape". You know, they could have made a great SP experience with this game for once. Limit the use of "RPGs" (I so cannot hear that line being said anymore) and automatic weapons, add some tactical stuff, some suspense, a career mode where you're going from low level cop idiot to high ranking SWAT commander. Maybe mix in some LA Noire elements, but what did they do? Make it a Battlefield that is no different from any other battlefield, apart maybe from the setting. Meeeeeh. Fuck this. |

Heterogeneous network games: Conflicting preferences
In many economic situations, a player pursues coordination or anti-coordination with her neighbors on a network, but she also has intrinsic preferences among the available options. We here introduce a model which allows to analyze this issue by means of a simple framework in which players endowed with an idiosyncratic identity interact on a social network through strategic complements or substitutes. We classify the possible types of Nash equilibria under complete information, finding two thresholds for switching action that relate to the two-player setup of the games. This structure of equilibria is considerably reduced when turning to incomplete information, in a setup in which players only know the distribution of the number of neighbors of the network. For high degrees of heterogeneity in the population the equilibria is such that every player can choose her preferred action, whereas if one of the identities is in the minority frustration ensues.

300 Computer Products Meet EPEAT Standard
Nine manufacturers are participating in EPEAT, the EPA-funded green computer standard released in July. More than 300 computers are now registered.
The manufacturers are (links lead to EPEAT profiles): Apple, CTL, Dell, Hewlett-Packard, Lenovo, NEC Display Solutions, Northern Micro, Panasonic, and Sony.
Many of these manufacturers also made Greenpeace's report card on electronic manufacturers. For instance, Apple, which had the worst report card, received low scores on almost all criteria and, according to Greenpeace, made no progress from last year.
"Buying green computer equipment is no longer just a desirable thing to do," says Jeff Omelchuck, EPEAT's Executive Director. "Many organizations now require it." As a result, the number of EPEAT registered products and participating manufacturers is expected to continue to grow.
Compared to traditional computer equipment, all EPEAT-registered computers have reduced levels of cadmium, lead, and mercury to better protect human health and the environment. They are more energy efficient and manufacturers must offer safe recycling options for EPEAT registered products.
