CrashPlan is engineered to provide the benefits of cloud backup without compromising data security and privacy. With three secure options for managing your archive encryption key, CrashPlan offers the flexibility needed to meet your data security needs. Common questions about CrashPlan security are answered below.
Encryption is the process of converting information into a coded form that cannot be accessed without the key used to encode it. CrashPlan encrypts the files included in your backup before the data is sent to your destinations. Data encryption, combined with a secured encryption key, prevents unauthorized access to your information.
Put simply, if someone ever accessed your backup archive, both your password and encryption key are needed to decrypt your files.
Your backup is encoded with a Blowfish encryption algorithm. Blowfish, which was invented by security expert Bruce Schneier, is a freely available, documented, and open method of encrypting data. Being open is very important. This means that the processes it uses are public, tested by everyone, and proven to be secure. More information is available on Bruce Schneier's website.
The key's bit length depends on the product you are using:
Each data block in your archive is identified by the type and level of encryption. So 448-bit encrypted blocks can be mixed with 128-bit encrypted blocks in the same backup. Backup continues where it left off and uses the stronger encryption for files going forward.
You can access your encrypted files by restoring them from the CrashPlan app or CrashPlan web app. CrashPlan will decrypt your files using your encryption key. The method CrashPlan uses to access your encryption key depends on how you restore your files and your security settings. Learn more about how file decryption works during restores.
CrashPlan offers three options for securing the archive encryption key for your backup. The answer depends on your Archive Encryption setting.
The default settings satisfy the security needs for most users. However, you may want to consider upgrading your security settings if any of the following apply:
Increasing the security setting for your account trades ease of use for enhanced archive security. Each additional level of protection also comes with risks and an increased need for password management. Please review your options carefully before upgrading your security.
Yes, the encryption key remains the same. If you use the default security option, then your encryption key is relocked with your new account password when your password is changed. If you use either the archive key password or custom key option, then changing you account password has no effect on how your encryption key is secured.
Refer to our detailed description for each security option in the Archive Encryption Key Security article for information on where your encryption key is stored.
You can reset your account password at any time. However, our Customer Champions cannot retrieve or restore the archive key password for you if you lose it.
Your files are not actually encrypted with the archive key password or account password. Those passwords act as a way to lock or protect your encryption key. So if you change your archive key password, your data doesn't need to be re-encrypted and your backup doesn't need to start over. Rather, your encryption key is simply re-locked with the new archive key password. Your data encryption key never changes.
Imagine you have your keys to your car locked in a safe. The archive key password is the key to the safe, not the keys to the car. You can still restore versions of files encrypted with the original archive key password and you don't need to start your backup over.
For versions 3.6.1 and later, you have the option to enable an archive question. An archive question can be used to reset the archive key password in the event that the existing password is lost or forgotten. If you do not enable the archive question, or you are unable to answer the question correctly, then there is absolutely no way to help you recover the archive key password needed to restore your files. Our Customer Champions cannot help you recover an archive key password. Learn more about your password and account recovery options.
Yes. Enabling the archive key password option affects ALL of the computers on your account. Setting the archive key password on one computer sets the same archive key password for all your computers. You need to enter this archive key password on all the computers in your account.
Because you are changing the encryption key used to encode your data, your backup must start over if you upgrade to the custom key security option, or if you change your custom key.
There is absolutely no way for Code42 to recover your custom key. If you forget or lose your custom key, you must start over with a new account. Learn more about account recovery.
Enabling custom key security impacts ALL of the computers on your account. However, you can choose to use a different custom key for each computer.
Once your files are encrypted and secured with the security method of your choice, your backup transmission is sent to your destinations using 128-bit AES in-transit encryption.
Yes, it is transferred securely with the same encryption technology used to encrypt files during backup. The key itself is also locked or encrypted.
The information we collect from you is only for the purposes of providing you a backup service and communicating with you about the backup services we provide. Read our complete Privacy Policy.
Code42 ensures and monitors appropriate ISO27001 or SSAE16 certifications for its cloud data centers, and is an ISO27001-certified organization. Code42 continually strives to keep pace with evolving industry security standards.
CrashPlan supports encrypted files, folders, drives, and filesystems that are run at a system level. In other words, they are not being configured and run in a user space. Learn more about backing up encrypted files and locations.

HOUSTON Beneath the guard towers and behind the razor wire of a Texas prison, Lawrence Brewer lifts his arm to display his racist tattoos.
Like a cross burning and an intertwined KKK, he explains, showing off the images cut into his flesh that turned his body into a billboard for hate.
His worldview of racial relations came from an earlier stint in prison.
Watching the blacks and the Mexicans and other races literally beat people near death. So I came out after four years of that, with that mentality, he said.
What he did after he came out of prison made him one of the nation s most notorious killers. And on Wednesday night, he s scheduled to die.
Along a lonely country road in East Texas, something horrible happened. And yet, the man who s facing execution for the crime still says he didn t commit murder, and that he was just going along with friends for a ride. He said that he wouldn t do anything differently.
As far as any regrets, no, I have no regrets, Brewer says. No, I d do it all over again, to tell you the truth.
The savage killing of James Byrd Jr shook the conscience of the nation, reviving America s nightmarish legacy of lynching and racially motivated violence. One hot night in June 1998, a trio of young men driving along a country road near Jasper offered Byrd a ride. Instead, they beat him, chained his ankles to the back of their pick-up truck and dragged him for more than two miles.
Byrd tried to prop himself up by his elbows, but they were sheared to the bone. As the driver swerved from side to side to bounce Byrd across the road, the asphalt tore away parts of his body. His agony ended when he slammed into a culvert and he was beheaded.
His killers left what was left of his torso alongside the road near a cemetery. Then they drove home and went to bed.
Deputies quickly arrested Brewer, John William King and Shawn Berry and charged them with capital murder. And the quiet town of Jasper suddenly was besieged by everyone from FBI agents to news reporters to race-baiting protesters.
All three of the killers were convicted in separate trials. King, a belligerent ex-con who wrote rambling essays about inciting racial warfare, was considered the leader of the murderous pack; he was sentenced to die. So was Brewer, another ex-con who covered his body with ghastly, racist tattoos. Berry, whom even prosecutors admitted was not a racist, escaped the executioner s needle and was sentenced to life in prison.
Now, Brewer becomes the first to face execution on Wednesday evening. He still asserts his innocence, repeating his story that he looked out of the pick-up truck s back window and watched Berry cut Byrd s throat.
That s all I could see, whenever I looked out the sliding glass window in the truck, was Sean bending over at a pair of ankles, he said.
But his alibi falls apart when compared to the physical evidence, according to Billy Rowles, the retired sheriff who investigated the murder.
There was absolutely no throat cut, Rowles said. Wasn t even scratches on the throat where a knife had done it.
Oddly enough, as his hours on death row tick to a close, Brewer says he supports the death penalty. Even though he asserts his innocence, he claims he s ready for his case to finally come to a close.
Some days I m wishing for a date to come and some days I m not wishing for a date, he says. So now that it s here, I m willing to accept it, you know. That s my punishment.
Byrd s sister is willing to accept it, too. Betty Boatner speaks with a voice bathed in peace and contentment. Her mother has died, her father has Alzheimer s disease, but she still talks about her family s blessings. And she bears no malice toward Brewer.
If I saw him face to face, I d tell him I forgive him for what he did, Boatner said. Otherwise I d be like him. I have already forgiven him.
Still, the sheriff who led the investigation into the murder and helped keep the peace in his southeast Texas town can t help but wonder about Brewer s state of mind on death row.
In all the time he sat in that cement cage, that he s been in there, in all the time that he s had to think. I just cannot believe there s not some kind of remorse, Rowles says.

Sounds from the Thievery hi-fi
Eighteenth Street Lounge Music
MY WORKING DEFINITION of "bossa nova" was formed in 1983 with my purchase of the first in a long line of shoddy Casio keyboards. One of a host of cheesy preset rhythm tracks, the so-called bossa-nova loop was the ultimate in sub-drum machine kitsch. Sure, its slinky shuffle was vaguely alluring--"What is that? Spanish? Cuban? Mexican?"--but it takes both listening experience and puberty to open a young New Waver's mind to the savory fruits of Latin influence. At age 10, sadly, I had neither.
Rob Garza and Eric Hilton, the minds behind Washington D.C.'s Thievery Corporation, don't much care where or how they first discovered the joys of bossa. What does concern them is how the gentle influence of Brazilian and Caribbean rhythms flow into the Corp's first-rate ambient dub and hip-hop soundscapes. Their obsessions bloom brilliantly on both Dubbed Out in D.C.--a hearty compilation of D.C. electronica--and the duo's own full-length disc Sounds from the Thievery hi-fi. Both records have been released on the burgeoning Eighteenth Street Lounge imprint, named for the downtown D.C. mansion--located five short blocks from the White House--that the collective has renovated and turned into a club/recording studio.
Though Thievery Corporation conceived and helmed the project, Garza and Hilton's contributions to the Dubbed Out comp are inconspicuous. Their lead-off track "Transcendence" is a spacey, syncopated mood piece, trilled with a smattering of congas and vocal drones that add carefully measured bits of global color. But the grooves get wild on tracks by the two-man team Thunderball: Their "Ultra Thin" is a serious gas, laying painstaking atmospherics beneath frighteningly jittery drum 'n' bass licks to create a thrilling experiment in restlessness. Solo beatmonger Kevin England works whispery snares and blunted Latin-infected interludes on "Summer Down" and "Maened." Peace Bureau and Liftoff pitch in with earnest cuts that flex a more hip-hop-minded muscle.
Slick sonic nods to Eastern and South American cultures just barely manage to spin a common thread through the album's assorted 11 tracks. But if the compilation reflects an itchy D.C. scene on the verge of stylistic synergy, Sounds from the Thievery hi-fi suggests that Hilton and Garza have already set the scene's revolutionary agenda. On "Vivid," their (a)rousing hand claps and conga flourishes ride confidently over snippets of futurist synth--Caetano Veloso singing with Stereolab in a São Paulo lounge could hardly sound better. Elsewhere, the duo lays Shaft-era guitar clucks and Jamaican dub poetry on top of swanky, swirling rhythmic hybrids. While they occasionally brush up against jungle vibes ("Walking Through Babylon" may single-handedly justify coinage of the subgenre term dub-step), a sturdy arsenal of warm hip hop, jazzy Caribbean horn squeaks, and future-bossa grooves consistently intervene. Alert: There's a new kind of global soul here, and it's unrelenting.
Even more disarming than what courses through these eclectic groove thangs is what's missing from them--namely, the familiar funk riffs and James Brown echoes that keep too many beat experimentalists rewriting the rhythm nation's (tired?) party lines. If more D.C. kids start ditching their staple JB wax in favor of spicy rare groove classics, well, blame it on the bossa nova.

Sidney, BC - spring haulout yard recommendations
I need to choose a place for some basic spring maintenance in Sidney, BC. I hate just picking somebody at random and recommendations would be appreciated (as would warnings). I am looking for competent work at a reasonable price (aren't we all) but have really no way of comparing the outfits. Even if we assume they both do good work and have similar hourly rates, I can't see how one can compare costs.
So, anyone care to recommend a boat yard ?
BTW, I am looking at getting some minor dings fixed, hull cleaned and waxed, hopefully last years bottom coat is still good so just a pressure wash and, last but not least, I need an 'indiscretion' fixed in the lead keel (damn rocks!)
I am looking at Blackline Marine and West Bay Marine but if there is some other yard I should look at then by all means, please mention it.

I am VERY happy to be one and done! My DD is 5 and I love her to death and am NOT ready for any more children. However I am very excited that 2 of my close friends are pregnant and due this spring! I look forward to getting my baby fix in a manner that allows me to hand them back when they cry. Anyone else have friends that are pregnant? One of my friends is having her first and the other is having her second... I'm enjoying being able to be excited for baby and knowing it's not mine! :) Just wanted to share "my" news. Have a great day!
Living vicariously...
i am with you!!! i have THREE gf's due, two in may and one in june!!!!
i am so happy for them as i LOVED when i was pregnant and everyhting with my lo! though i do NOT want anymore as of right now, that may or may not change at all LOL
saw one of my gf's and her 7m old this weekend and after about 3mins i was ready to hand the baby back over, i think i am just over that for myself but can NOT wait to go register with one of my bff's on her 1st baby that is a boy too! that is going ot be FUN and getting so much of that baby fix that i miss with my lo now who is 3~!
My sister is pregnant - again. She had her DS in August 2011 and is due with her DD in very early February.
I am enjoying having a baby in the family (my other nephew is my DS's age - 10) but her pregnancies have reminded me how much I do not miss being pregnant or having my own baby! LOL.
~~ A . Mom to G (oh boy - he's 13 - history-loving soccer midfielder)
Trying to survive this tween/teen thing one tantrum at a time. ;-)
Yep, a lot of our friends just had their 2nd or are planning to add to their families soon. I think it's GREAT. DH and I are 100% one and done by choice and completely happy in our decision, so I don't feel jealous or sad when others are pregnant (and yes I know how lucky I am). And I too love holding their babies, buying cute baby gifts, helping them out in a pinch by watching their older child, giving cute baby cheek pinches, and then going home to my quiet house and almost completely independent 5 year old. It's been a lot of fun to be on the outside looking in.
My son is only 17 months old and I already feel this way when I visit other people who have infants! Especially when they cry!
S + B = D, Born March 2011
A lot of my friends are on what I call "Round 2"...meaning they thought they were done having kids but had another one due to an oopsie or a change in circumstances such as remarriage. Anyway, I get really excited when my friends have babies! I love being around babies...just don't want anymore of my own!
It's nice to hear that so many others still get excited to be around babies, even after deciding to only have one of your own! I'm hoping to be able to get a bunch of my baby gear out of the garage and in use with my friend who is having her first... my husband just isn't ready to sell it yet (and I figure you never know when an oops might happen) so there it sits. Giving it to her to just borrow might help my DH to transition his thinking a bit more. He is very happy with only one, but would also like a boy. I couldn't believe that he wasn't immediately set on the one and done idea since he is NOT a kid person at all and was very anxious over our first. I always thought I wanted 2 (until DD was born) so I think he has that stuck in his head...
^^^Just a word of advice...make sure that you make it VERY clear that the gear is on loan, and if there is anything that you are absolutely not ready to part with, I'd think twice about loaning it. I say this because I loaned our baby swing to one of my really good friends and told her I'd like to have it back when her baby was finished using it. When I asked if I could have it back (because another friend asked to borrow it), she told me "there's a story about that" and told me that she'd give me the money for the swing. Of course, I told her I didn't want the money, but I was irked that I didn't get my swing back even after I told her I wanted it back. I'm pretty sure that she sold it (she had fallen on rough times), but I'm still waiting to hear the story. She said she wanted to tell me in person.

In a dry frying pan, cook the chorizo over a high heat for 2 minutes until browned. Add the drained cannellini beans, the balsamic vinegar and stock and cook for a further minute. At the last minute, add the tomato and chopped coriander and squeeze in the lemon juice.
In a separate pan, fry off the aubergine and garlic together in a little olive oil for two minutes until it becomes like a paste.
To cook the salmon, mix together some flour with the chilli flakes on a plate and season with salt and pepper. Coat the salmon in the flour and cook in the butter for 4½ minutes, starting it off skin-side down and flipping over halfway through.
Serve the salmon on top of the bean salad with a quenelle of the aubergine on top.

Currently, there is no effective treatment for neurological complications of infection with the human immunodeficiency virus that persists despite the use of combination antiretroviral therapy. A medium throughput assay was developed for screening neuroprotective compounds using primary mixed neuronal cells and mitochondrial toxin 3-nitropropionic acid. Using this assay, a library of 2,000 compounds was screened. Out of 256 compounds that showed variable degrees of neuroprotection, nine were related to epicatechin, a monomeric flavonoid found in cocoa and green tea leaves that readily crosses the blood–brain barrier. Hence, catechin, epicatechin, and the related compound, epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) were further screened for their neuroprotective properties against HIV proteins Tat and gp120, and compared to those of resveratrol. Epicatechin and EGCG targets the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and its precursor proBDNF signaling pathways, normalizing both Tat-mediated increases in proapoptotic proBDNF and concomitant Tat-mediated decreases in the mature BDNF protein in hippocampal neurons. Epicatechin and epigallocatechin gallate were more potent than catechin or resveratrol as neuroprotectants. Due to its simpler structure and more efficient blood–brain barrier penetration properties, epicatechin might be the best therapeutic candidate for neurodegenerative diseases including HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders where oxidative stress is an important pathophysiological mechanism.

Disneyland's Space Mountain is significantly better than WDW's version of the ride. How anyone can suggest otherwise is out of their mind. The WDW version is jerky and not nearly as fast as Disneyland's version.
Also, Disneyland's Pirates of the Caribbean is significantly better than WDW's version. The beginning portion at Disneyland with the Blue Bayou adds alot more character to the ride and the Disneyland version has more and better drops.
That being said, WDW's Tower of Terror is better than DCA's version. There is an opening sequence at WDW where the elevator moves along some tracks for awhile and some added scenes that you don't have at DCA. I also prefer Toy Story Mania at WDW for the simple reason that you can get fast passes there (I still don't understand why Toy Story Mania at DCA doesn't have a fast pass machine). For the same reason, I prefer WDW's version of Peter Pan (which also has a better loading mechanism giving it a greater capacity than Disneyland). The rockets are also better at WDW because they are elevated like they used to be at Disneyland (before they got moved to the entrance to Tomorrowland). As far as Jungle Cruise, Haunted Mansion, Splash Mountain and Big Thunder, I didn't notice any major differences. I enjoy both the DLR and WDW versions of these rides about the same.
Other rides that are worth comparing are DCA's California Screamin' and WDW's Rock n' Roller Coaster. Between those two, I prefer the Rock n' Roller Coaster because it has more inversions and I like the Aerosmith music involved. Also, while WDW doesn't have the Matterhorn, it does have a better snowman-themed rollercoaster in Expedition Everest. Also, while DCA has Radiator Springs Racers, WDW has a similar ride in Test Track. While Test Track seems faster, if you include the ride theming, Radiator Springs Racers is an overall better experience. Finally, while Disneyland has Indiana Jones, WDW has a ride with similar motion vehicles with a dinosaur theme appropriately called "Dinosaur." Between those two, I prefer Indiana Jones because of better theming as well.

Sales were also up in Asia Pacific (11.4%), Europe (7.4%) and Japan (0.1%), marking the first time annual sales in Japan increased since 2010.1
The top 25 semiconductor vendors' combined revenue increased 11.7%, which was more than the overall industry's growth. The top 25 vendors accounted for 72.1% of total market revenue, up from 69.7% in 2013.2
The US and China have agreed to expand the Information Technology Agreement (ITA), a key trade pact that promotes fair and open trade by providing for duty-free treatment of certain information and communications technology (ICT) products, including semiconductors. The product scope of an expanded ITA includes next-generation semiconductors, static converters and inductors, and an array of technology products including medical devices, GPS devices, software media, ICT testing instruments, and others. US negotiators sought expanded coverage for new and innovative semiconductor products, including multi-component semiconductors (MCOs).
As the trend toward "smart" products continues, demand for advanced semiconductor products like MCOs has been growing consistently in the past few years and will continue to do so in the future.3
Intel is on pace to reach its goal of 40 million tablet processors in 2014, although these processors are being shipped at significantly discounted prices and with incentives. On the PC front, Intel continued to gain market share from AMD, and volume increases for both Intel's notebook and desktop platforms compared with 2013 is expected. Intel has maintained the No. 1 market share position for the 23rd consecutive year, capturing 15.0% of the 2014 semiconductor market, down slightly from its peak of 16.5% in 2011.4
In the fourth quarter, TSMC's revenue continued to grow sequentially due to strong demand for 20nm wafers. By application, Communication and Computer increased 18% and 7%, while Consumer and Industrial/Standard declined 21% and 11%, respectively. Contribution from 20nm process technology increased from 9% in Q3'14 to 21% in Q4'14. Advanced technologies (28nm and below) accounted for 51% of total wafer revenue, up from 43% in Q3'14. Revenue from Fabless/System customers accounted for 85% of total wafer revenue in Q4'14. Gross margin was 49.7% in Q4'14, 0.8 percentage point lower than Q3'14, mainly reflecting 20nm margin dilution and lower capacity utilization. On a full-year basis, gross margin for 2014 was 49.5%, up 2.4 percentage points from 2013, mainly attributed to higher capacity utilization and partially offset by 20nm margin dilution.
Q4 2014 calendar quarter orders for Applied Materials, Inc. were US$2.27bn, up 1% sequentially and down 1% percent year over year. Net sales were US$2.36bn, up 4% sequentially and 8% year over year. The net income was US$338mn or US$0.27 per diluted share. Applied Materials has stepped up investments to prepare for the ongoing transitions to larger wafer sizes and smaller process nodes. The ramp up in FinFET, 3D NAND and new display technology is expected to drive growth in future. There are also signs of improvement in the Display side of the business, backed by PVD tools. The drivers of this business are larger TV screens and better mobile displays that involve more complicated production processes and new tools. Due to major transitions in semiconductor and Display technology, big opportunities lie ahead for Applied Materials. Its upcoming merger with Tokyo Electron will further take it toward its long-term strategic goals. Applied has strengthened its R&D and, at the same time, increased investment in product development.5

The Light Blues have failed to win the lower- leagues competition in the last two seasons, losing to the eventual winners Queen of the South while they were in the Third Division, then to Raith Rovers in the final at Easter Road in April.
Rangers have major fitness doubts over Richard Foster, Ian Black and Kenny Miller ahead of their second-round tie at home to Clyde tonight but McCoist admitted: "It certainly would be a disappointment not to win it. Last season's final was disappointing because we had really good chances to score.
"That was as big a disappointment as anything we've had in recent times.
"The most important thing for us this season, though, is to get out of this league and get back up to the top flight.
"We need to get back to the position where, along with Celtic, there is an expectation that you will win cups.
"But we have a good bit to go before we are anywhere near that."

Does polish (or the polish brush) get contaminated after use on a nail infection, allowing the infection to spread to other people if the same polish is used? I thought I read somewhere that the ingredients in nail polish kill bacteria.
Nail professionals are licensed to work only on healthy nails and intact skin. It is beyond the scope of the professional nail license to work on an infected nail. Applying nail polish on top of an infected nail could be reason enough for a nail professional to lose her license. This could also be considered as negligence, should a legal dispute arise. In short, never provide services on an infected nail plate.
Although it's true that infectious organisms will not thrive and grow in nail polish, this is only true when nail polish is applied to normal, healthy nail plates. It's not true for infected nail plates! Any brush or nail file coming in contact with an infected nail should be immediately discarded to prevent transmission of the infection to other clients. If contact with an active nail infection were to occur accidentally, the nail polish should be discarded. — Doug Schoon is CND's chief scientific advisor.

Ruben Andersson receives BBC accolade for migration study
Dr Ruben Andersson, a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Civil Society and Human Security Research Unit, has won the British Sociological Association / BBC Thinking Allowed (Radio 4) ethnography award for his book Illegality, Inc. Clandestine Migration and the Business of Bordering Europe.
The book argues that increasing border controls are leading migrants to seek more dangerous routes to enter Europe. It is based on his PhD dissertation, which was awarded the 2014 IMISCOE dissertation award. One of the judges described Ruben's work as "a very beautifully written, very evocative book".
The shortlist was announced in last week's Thinking Allowed and the programme will run a special feature on the book during this week's episode on Wednesday 22 April at 4pm.
Rethinking GDP: Alumnus to challenge 'untouchable' growth indicators ahead of general election
GDP has become the most powerful statistic in human history and has been relied upon at every turn by the coalition government to demonstrate the credibility of its long-term economic plan. Ahead of the general election, former LSE alumnus Philipp Lepenies will question how GDP came to be indispensable as the indicator for progress, and demonstrate why any attempt to reduce the impact of this figure on policy needs to start by understanding how it came to occupy the throne in the first place.

Human Development and Decent Work: Why some Concepts Succeed and Others Fail to Make an Impact
Development and Change
In this article, Kirsten Sehnbruch and others examine the impact of the International Labour Organization's concept of Decent Work on development thinking. They contend that the United Nation Development Programme's Human Development concept has been one of the most successful development concepts ever to have been launched, while the impact of decent work by comparison has been limited.
Subterranean Politics in Europe
Palgrave Macmillan
The demonstrations, occupations, and new political initiatives that emerged across Europe in 2011 and 2012 were a rare example of subterranean politics 'bubbling up' to the surface. Assumptions about how politics is carried out are changing, giving rise to serious challenges and obvious discomfort across established institutions.
Edited by Mary Kaldor and Sabine Selchow of the Civil Society and Human Security Research Unit (CSHS), this volume investigates why this is occurring now. Equally, it considers whether the current eruptions are different to previous periods of political upheaval, and what they tell us about the future of the European project. Read more >>

Crist and Scott Shouldn't Be Arguing over Education
Around the State
Both of the leading candidates for governor are hammering away at each other over education funding.
The question voters should ask: Why?
This is a non-issue, for two reasons.
Governors don't determine how much money education receives each year. Governors make recommendations, based on how much money the state has available.
The Florida Legislature has the sole authority to appropriate money and the state, unlike the federal government, cannot spend money it does not have.
When the state's revenues dropped, Scott recommended less funding for most state functions, including education. That was the responsible thing to do.
It also does not mean that the public schools and universities had less money to spend.
Public schools get local and federal funds in addition to the state funding. School boards can raise taxes. Universities can raise tuition.
While the local media were hand-wringing over the "devastating cuts" to public schools in Jacksonville, the school district was spending more money each year, with a 30 percent increase over a decade. I suspect the same is true for most other districts, but don't expect the liberal media in Florida to give you an accurate accounting.
The second reason is that this finger-pointing is pointless. It rests on the assumption that more spending somehow benefits children -- a myth promulgated and perpetuated by liberals. There is no proof that increasing the money input to education improves the outcomes, although it does provide powerful union bosses with more money to contribute to liberal politicians.
But there is solid evidence that public schools in Florida have improved in the past 15 years, while the state has been leading the nation in focusing on standards, accountability and school choice.
When Crist was claiming to be a conservative Republican, he espoused those reforms. Now that he has won the hearts and minds of Florida liberals by "evolving" from a knuckle-dragging Republican into an upright liberal Democrat, he has a different view.
But who knows when he might hear voices in the night and be born again as a conservative?
And wouldn't it be rich if he were elected by an enormous liberal turnout and then returned to his conservative side?
Fact is, during the time that liberals claim government schools were being starved, the number of schools earning an "A" grade for good performance increased, even as the bar was raised continually.
Instead of talking about matters that don't matter, the candidates should be talking about important things, such as how many jobs have been created by the private sector during the past four years. Scott has been doing that, but the liberal media have responded with faux news stories claiming that fewer jobs have been created than Scott promised.
When they look at the liberal president's record in that regard, they don't find fault.
Just suppose they used the same standards and blamed Scott's predecessor for Scott's "failures."
Lloyd Brown was in the newspaper business nearly 50 years, beginning as a copy boy and retiring as editorial page editor of the Florida Times-Union in Jacksonville. After retirement he served as a policy analyst for Florida Gov. Jeb Bush.
Comments (1)
What does Rick Scott and CharLIE Crist have to argue about edcuation anyway?
Jeb Bush and his privatize charter school conversions mostly Gulen along with his Common Core NWO programming for America's youth, throw in Ignite Learning and their little K-12 schemes and there ain't nothing much left to talk about.

BOSTON ( TheStreet) -- What's the best way to excise emotions -- fear, greed -- when choosing to buy or sell stocks or other securities? For starters, get rid of humans and let computers take over.
That type of investing, used by so-called quantitative hedge funds, received a black eye after Goldman Sachs (GS) said it was shuttering its once-esteemed Global Alpha quantitative hedge fund for poor performance.
Ever since, investors have been wondering if the computer-driven stock-picking model can't hack it in the wildly volatile stock market of late. But there's no evidence of that, as quantitative funds' average 0.64% return this year through August has outperformed the S&P 500 Index of the largest U.S. stocks, which is down 2.9%.
Quant funds can invest in a wide range of securitities or commodities, but they're typically rapid-fire traders. They tend to do well in the small-cap sector; hence their assets under management remain relatively small.Quantitative hedge funds held about $560 billion in assets at the end of the second quarter, an increase of $52 billion since the start of the year, with inflows making up about $29 billion of that, according to Hedge Fund Research. Joe Mezrich, head of quantitative research at Nomura Securities, said "quants are actually doing better than fundamental investors. There is a perception that quants have lost it, but it's actually not true. The returns are decent." The Goldman Sachs situation, which includes the winding down of the once $12 billion Global Alpha fund, coincident with the so-called retirement of the head of the firm's quantitative strategies group, may have prompted that perception. "I would say the Goldman episode is an isolated example" unique to that firm, said Mezrich. An example of a successful "quant shop" is TFS Capital of West Chester, Pa. It has built a series of proprietary quantitative models designed to exploit market inefficiencies and uses them to manage two mutual funds and two hedge funds.
