http://www.brandylibrary.com Drawing Wall Street guys both old and youngish, the Brandy Library has a Ritz-Carlton lobby lounge vibe, plus schmaltzy touches like cocktail waitress alibrariansa traversing bottle-lined bookshelves on rolling ladders. But the menu features clever takes on bar food, like the miniature alligator burgers with fries and a abrandy shake,a a mix of bourbon, white chocolate liqueur, and cream ($14).

Near an assortment of luxe little eateries, the Broome Street Bar sticks out as the neighborhood dive. It's as gritty as something in SoHo can get-which is to say, not very-and that's the charm of this place: a quant little Irish pub with the slightest edge. Within the bar's blackened interior, a stained-glass portrait of a heartbroken lass resides at its center, while off to the side, two eraser-marked chalkboards relay the day's featured drinks. The whole affair is pretty straightforward, as are the beers on tap: Stella Artois, Sierra Nevada, Bass, and Guinness for the leisurely regulars, Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA for the pros.

http://www.rockawaybeachclub.com The Commodore proper is one of the most popular bars on the Metropolitan strip of Williamsburg. And they've expanded to the ocean--or, kind of. The bar has established an outpost at the Far Rockaways Beach Club. Called The Commodore East, the small proxy spot doesn't offer the iced cocktails that are so popular in the 'burg, but it does offer the spicy chicken, nachos, salads and, perhaps best of all, pork boats--pulled pork sandwiches garnished with pickled slaw. The spot is, like the rest of the Beach Club, seasonal--and the hours vary then, too--but when it's open and it's a good beach day, a pork boat is just about the best seaside food you can get your hands on. Just make sure you go for a run afterwards. --Shane Barnes Read more about Commodore East >>

http://www.earinn.com Ear Inn isn't very easy to find; it's tucked into a nondescript, dead-end corner near the Hudson, and the old-fashioned sign that just reads "BAR" doesn't help matters much. It's a cozy, offbeat little pub that's perfect for rainy nights; everything inside feels charming and lived-in, from the old metal signs adorning the walls to the dark wood tables covered in brown butcher paper. Strong drinks and live jazz round out the satisfying experience. Read more about Ear Inn >>
http://www.emeraldpubnyc.com An Irish pub with scant Soho attitude, Emerald Pub quenches the thirst of the neighborhood's few proud non-fashionistas. Its location on one of uppity Spring Street's busiest blocks only augments the laid-back charm inside its walls; the gastropub lunch fare comes hot and reasonably priced, and the strongly poured well drinks are a bracing experience.

jnbSA always goes to Backup/Restore Window
On one of our NetBackup masters, when I run jnbSA it always goes to Backup/Restore window and not to the Admin Console.
I checked auth.conf and my username is registered. I also tried opening another window and it shows the same window. Please help.
Comments 6 Comments • Jump to latest comment
Double-check auth.conf again.
What exactly does the line with your user name contain?
Also check type of spaces used between entries in the line - I cannot remember if it should be spaces or tabs, just had the experience once at a customer where entries were ignored after new users were manually added.
When we did the following from with vi:
:set list
we could see where tabs (^I) were used and where spaces were used.
User entries should match the root entry (including tabs/spaces)
Always best to copy and paste the line for root and just replace with user name using cw.
Hope this helps.

Beloved Little Italy leader, Father Steven Grancini, dies at 78
A native of Milan, Father Steven Grancini was a young seminarian in Italy in the 1950s when he was asked to go to the United States.
He said "OK," which was all the English he knew at the time, and headed to New York where he attended college, was ordained and went on to teach at a Buffalo high school. His ensuing assignments took him around the world and back to Italy before bringing him to San Diego's Little Italy where he was pastor of Our Lady of the Rosary Catholic Church for 25 years.
A beloved leader in the community, Father Grancini is credited with playing a major role in the revitalization and preservation of Little Italy and the church that has long been the heart and soul of the region's Italian-American community.
Father Grancini died Jan. 2 at Mercy Hospital after a lengthy illness. He was 78.
He served on the board of the Little Italy Association for many years and under his stewardship, Our Lady of the Rosary increased its holdings with the purchase of a two-story brick building on a lot adjacent to the church complex.
"He was critical to everything we've done," said Marco Li Mandri, executive director of the Little Italy Association. "He was the glue that tied the church, the community and revitalization efforts. He was the one who had the legitimacy, depth of knowledge and respect to get things done."
Li Mandri and other community members characterized "Father Steve" as the classic elder statesman of Little Italy. "He was able to coordinate all the groups … it really took a strong personality," Li Mandri said. "He was not only a man of God, he was a man of the people and a man of the community."
Carolann Vattuone Pollan, whose grandfather was one of the founding members of Our Lady of the Rosary, said Father Grancini brought a sense of unity to the neighborhood and enjoyed being their shepherd. "He was an amazing man and was highly respected," she said.
"He was a pillar … an institution," said Lou Palestini, Little Italy Association treasurer. "Everything he did was for the community. He was very enthusiastic and offered much spiritual support."
Although he needed a walker to get around in recent years, Father Grancini always made sure to show up at events where his blessing was requested, Palestini said.
He was born June 13, 1932 in Milan, Italy, to Pietro and Francesca Grancini. He knew since childhood that he wanted to be a priest, said longtime friend and fellow priest, Father Louis Solcia. The two attended the same seminary in Italy and were among the group sent to Buffalo, N.Y. in the 1950s. "They sent us by ship to teach at a high school. Father Steve taught religion and became vice principal," Father Solcia said.
Father Grancini was ordained in the Clerics Regular of St. Paul in 1957. He later served as Provincial Superior of the Barnabites' North American Province and was elected Superior General of the Barnabite Order with residence in Rome in 1976. He returned to the U.S. in 1982 when he was appointed director of Our Lady of Fatima Shrine in New York. He was assigned to San Diego in 1985.

California was the first state to support medical marijuana, but these days, local advocates see courts and city bans forcing pot patients back into the shadows.
As marijuana collectives have shuttered in cities across Orange County – most recently in Garden Grove – voters in Washington state and Colorado have moved to not only support medical use of the drug, but recreational. Eighteen states allow for some form of medical marijuana, but one Orange County advocate says that, even though California broke ground with its Compassionate Use Act in 1996, many local leaders are doing whatever they can to keep the drug out.
"Here, they're still trying to fight it," said Kandice Hawes of Orange County NORML, a group that works to reform marijuana laws. "Sixteen years later, they're trying to fight it."
Despite the voter-approved Compassionate Use Act and 2003's state Senate Bill 420 that brought forth further regulations, medical marijuana in California has been consumed by a tangle of lawsuits that Hawes sees as a waste of resources. Time and money would be better spent in creating solid regulations and oversight to keep some storefront collectives open, she said.
"They don't want to be criminals," she said. "They want to be law-abiding citizens."
Under SB420, which established the state Medical Marijuana Program, patients or their caregivers should have no more than 8 ounces of the dried plant, six mature live plants or 12 immature plants. Collectives have interpreted that to mean they may have up to 8 ounces of marijuana per patient in their inventories, a reading of the law that remains controversial.
Chris Glew, a Santa Ana attorney who commonly works on medical marijuana cases, said that the Medical Marijuana Program guidelines should not be considered as the defining law when it comes to prosecuting caregivers.
"Any legislative amendment can't curtail the original intention of the voter-passed initiatives. That means that the (Medical Marijuana Program) can't restrict unnecessarily the intent" of the Compassionate Use Act, Glew said. "Does law enforcement, for the most part, still believe that is the law? Sure. But by no means is it."
In April, federal authorities raided two dispensaries in Santa Ana, and another 56 shops received warning letters telling them to comply with federal law that prohibits the distribution of marijuana. By June, city officials said 42 had shut down and those remaining in operation would face further orders to cease operation as well as criminal citations. Most Orange County city councils have passed bans of the pot storefronts, which the California Supreme Court upheld in May. The ruling prompted Garden Grove, home to Orange County's highest concentration of dispensaries, to begin enforcing its ban.
Those hurt most by the dip in support for medical marijuana tend to be older, sicker medical patients who lack the ability and income to grow high-quality medicine, Hawes said.
"It does get cheaper the larger the garden is," she said.
While larger operations run the risk of federal raids and city penalties, others have found that staying small has its benefits.
Steve Ramsey took over Kind Deliveries, a medical marijuana delivery service, last year; he expected it to be just another job. Instead, he's gotten what he calls some of the most rewarding experiences of his life. He, his brother and another driver handle deliveries in South County, and his wife and cousin work in Northern California staffing the phones and preparing the marijuana.
Their patient database includes about 900 people, with about half using the service more than once. On a busy day, they might deliver to 30 people, and Ramsey plans to close membership soon. His goal, he said, isn't to serve the 18-to-20-year-olds who are just looking to get high: "I don't need the business. I'd rather they go somewhere else."
Instead, Ramsey prefers to serve his regulars and keep a low profile.
After his wife verifies a new patient's recommendation, the order information and address go to Ramsey through an encrypted instant-messaging program. He assembles the order – 1/8-ounce heat-sealed packages are available in a variety of strains – which then goes into a white paper bag marked "prescription." Once the patient's address is plugged into the GPS of his 2007 Prius, he texts back his estimated time of arrival.
A typical day might take him from a multimillion-dollar home in a gated community to a modest apartment in one of the area's sprawling, manicured complexes. Patients usually invite him in, where he greets their dogs or chats about how they're doing.
"I've never felt the least bit in danger with anybody I've dealt with," he said.

Jewish leaders, Paris slam Iran Holocaust cartoon show
By Corinne Heller
JERUSALEM (Reuters) – The Israeli government, Jewish groups
and the mayor of Paris on Thursday condemned an Iranian
exhibition of cartoons on the Nazi Holocaust, accusing Tehran
of spreading hatred and trivializing the murder of six million
Organizers of Iran's International Holocaust Cartoon's
Contest said the museum exhibit, which has drawn more than 200
entries, aims to challenge Western taboos about the discussing
the Holocaust.
Israeli government spokesman Gideon Meir called on the
international community "to express disgust from such an
anti-Semitic and inhuman event."
Yosef Lapid, chairman of the council of the Yad Vashem
Holocaust museum in Jerusalem, said: "The exhibit not only is
horrific propaganda that supports Holocaust denial, it also
paves the road to justifying genocide of the Jews in Israel."
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has drawn
international condemnation for dismissing the Holocaust as a
"myth." Nazi Germany killed six million European Jews in World
War Two.
Ahmadinejad has repeatedly called for Israel's destruction.
Paris Mayor Bertrand Delanoe condemned the display in a
letter to Iran's ambassador, saying it "intended to mock the
tragedy of the (Holocaust) and to trivialize a new anti-Semitic
bid under the false pretext of art and freedom of speech."
France is home to western Europe's largest Jewish and
Muslim communities. It is a crime in European countries such as
France, Germany and Austria to deny the Holocaust.
"At a time when violence and war should lead everyone
toward a willingness for dialogue, appeasement and tolerance,
such a step serves, on the contrary, motivations dominated by
hatred," Delanoe, a Socialist, said.
Russia's Congress of Jewish Religious Organizations and
Associations urged Muslims around the world "to reject the
blasphemy of political intriguers and say in their very hearts,
'Keep your hands off the memory of the Holocaust's victims."'
Shimon Samuels of the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Paris said
Iranian's Holocaust cartoon exhibit was part of the "Iranian
drive toward its own aggrandizement on the back of the Jews."
Salomon Korn, chairman of the Jewish community in the
German city of Frankfurt, said he thought the exhibition was
"pathologically crude."
"Ahmadinejad is demanding from the West what he does not
allow himself, and of which he perhaps has no idea, namely
tolerance," Korn said.
Iran's best-selling newspaper, Hamshahri, launched a
competition in February for the best cartoon about the
Holocaust in retaliation for the publication of caricatures of
the Prophet Mohammad in Danish and other European newspapers.
Those images of the Prophet sparked attacks on European
embassies in Muslim nations, including missions in Iran.
Samuels said a member of the Simon Wiesenthal Center
submitted two cartoons to Iran's competition, depicting
Ahmadinejad as Hitler.
Samuels said the cartoons were sent back.

Special Correspondent
His first death anniversary falls on March 20.
Thiruvananthapuram: The Old Boys' Association of Sainik School, Kazhakuttam, has taken up a project to build a memorial to Captain R. Harshan, a student of the 1997 batch, who died fighting terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir on March 20 last year.
School Principal Col. B. Ajithkumar and general secretary of the association Jayasankar Warrier told a press conference here on Tuesday that the construction of a sports pavilion named after Captain Harshan was under way. The pavilion is expected to be ready for inauguration by July, they said.
A bust of Captain Harshan is being built in the central garden of the academic block. The school is also instituting a trophy to be awarded to the student who emerges the best basketball player.
A Special Forces officer attached to the elite 'Red Devil' unit of 2 Para Regiment, Captain Harshan was shot in the thigh and neck in an encounter with Harkatul Mujahideen terrorists in the Chhoti Margi area of Lolab in Jammu and Kashmir.
Despite heavy snow, Harshan led his men into action to cordon off the house in which the terrorists were hiding. The officer killed two of them before he was felled by retaliatory fire. His valour in the face of heavy odds inspired his men to eliminate the remaining terrorists.
Ashok Chakra
Captain Harshan was posthumously awarded the Ashok Chakra, the country's highest peace time gallantry award. At the Republic Day Parade held at New Delhi on January 26 this year, his father, K. Radhakrishnan Nair, received the citation and medal from President Pratibha Patil.
Col. Ajithkumar recalled that Harshan was awarded the all-round cadet trophy in 1997, the year he passed out of the school. "He displayed a high degree of courage and extraordinary leadership traits throughout his stay in the school. He will continue to be a source of inspiration and motivation for the young cadets."
Mr. Radhakrishnan Nair, association treasurer Jayakumar and batch representative Manu B. Chandran were present at the press conference.
Col. Ajithkumar also unveiled the Captain Harshan memorial rolling trophy.

August 2012 .. until now:
The second week of hearings begins. Samsung counsel Katrina Howard accused Apple of meeting with 3G patent experts that provided evidence to previous court cases in Australia, and convincing two to "change their minds".
Who said what?
A Samsung executive testified that the company has as many as 100 different smartphones available in the U.S. market at any given moment, many of which are and look "distinctly different".
During the cross-examination of Apple marketing chief Phil Schiller, Samsung's attorney tried to get the executive to talk about a product that hasn't been announced yet. He asked whether Apple's next iPhone model would look anything like existing versions, or if changes were in store.
Peter Bressler -- a former president of the Industrial Designers Society and the founder and board chair of product design firm Bresslergroup -- said numerous Samsung designs infringed on Apple's patents, implying it is possible that consumers may confuse the two devices.
Samsung chief strategy officer Justin Denison denies that the company is copying anything, finding the idea "offensive".
"At Samsung, we're very very proud of the products we produce, of all the hard work that goes into bringing those products to market. What we would like to be able to do is simply compete in the market, continue what we've been doing for the last 15 years in the market."
An Apple expert acknowledged that even if Samsung's products are similar enough to Apple's to confuse consumers, it doesn't stand to follow that Apple's sales are harmed.
Apple called upon the testimony of Massachusetts Institute of Technology marketing professor John Hauser to explain survey results claiming that Samsung consumers would pay anywhere from $39 to $100 for Apple's features -- the same ones being fought over in court.
The testimony of one of Samsung's key designers was scrapped by Koh. Lead designer for Samsung's F700 phone, Hyong Shin Park, was barred after an Apple request. Park had previously said that the designs were inspired by a "bowl of water" rather than copied technology. Apple argued her testimony was irrelevant.
Evidence points of note:
Some of Apple's entered exhibits seem to show that Samsung's phones only began looking similar to an iPhone in 2010. Other slides were submitted but had to be changed following objections by Samsung.
A piece of evidence which is submitted to court is obtained by AllThingsD, which is a translation of a report prepared by Samsung in 2010 that directly compares the iPhone to the Galaxy S. In the document, the firm compares hundreds of aspects between the two devices, noting key differences and areas for improvement .
Following on, one of the first iPad prototypes is excluded as evidence in the trial, despite it having been shown to jurors.
- In addition, another report produced by Samsung at court, contained Apple's internal research data. It suggests that most U.S. phone shoppers bought an Android device instead of an iPhone in order to stick with their carrier.
A consumer survey Apple sponsored and completed in 2008, shown as evidence, found there was confusion about whether the Galaxy Tab was a Samsung product or an iPad. In reprisal, Samsung used the simple function of turning different device models on -- two phones and a tablet -- to contend the idea that consumers could become confused looking at each model.
During the testimony of Ravin Balakrishnan, a professor in the department of computer science at the University of Toronto, Apple brought out two of Samsung's internal usability studies -- one for a smartphone and another for a tablet. Direct instructions were found within to "mimic" Apple's software.
An internal memo raised at court, addressed to Samsung's "UX [user experience] executives," makes it clear that designers and developers should take "lessons" from the iPhone, but not copy it.
See also: Apple's original 'copying' presentation to Samsung
.. anything else?
A wealth of sensitive company data concerning both companies has been released, despite both firms pleading for exclusion from the public domain. Since the iPad launched in Q2 2010, Apple has sold 32 million iPads in the United States. In comparison, within the timeframe, Samsung sold only 1.4 million tablets.
Apple has also accused Samsung of stealing their icons, in addition to the original patent complaint. Apple's director of patent licensing and strategy also said that the firm approached Samsung in 2010 over patent infringement.
In court, it was revealed that Apple offered to license patents to Samsung based on fees of $30 per smartphone, and $40 per tablet.
A long-running patent deal between Apple and Microsoft came to light next at the trial, which acknowledges there's no cloning of the iPhone on the Windows phone model. Specific rules are in place to prevent "clone" products.
Three of Samsung's allegedly infringing phones were excluded from the trial yesterday. The Galaxy Ace, Galaxy S i9000, and Galaxy S II i9100 are now no longer under contention.
"I want papers. I don't trust what any lawyer tells me in this courtroom. I want to see actual papers."
We may be seeing more new details appearing which include business dealings between both the rival firms and other corporations enter the public domain soon. In a court ruling issued by Koh, taking into consideration many appeals of privacy have been ignored, the judge wrote:
"Although the Court has generally allowed royalty terms of licensing agreements to be sealed, Samsung is seeking to seal a proposed royalty rate between the two litigants. This information is important to the parties' damages calculations and therefore important for the public's understanding of this case."
So far in the high-profile battle, information has been made public that the two firms probably both regret. However, as the trial is highly unlikely to finish any time soon, these facts will not be the last we learn about the two technology giants.
14 August: Samsung's senior designer Jeeyuen Wang takes the stand , and attempted to quash claims that Samsung's phone and photography app iconography was a copy of Apple's.
14 August: U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh seems to have had her fill of 'courtroom theatrics' (think back on Apple appeals and Samsung releasing information to the press). She told the court on Tuesday after Apple raised objections to one of Samsung's witnesses, trying to block Tim Williams, Ph.D., one of Samsung's expert witnesses from testifying:
15 August: Koh told the CEOs of the two firms to lock themselves in a room and fight it out before the jury decides, talks in court resulted in a discussion of a low-level cellular-communications chip in Apple's iPhone, and one of Samsung's head designers says the company was working on tablet design well before the iPad's debut.
See also, just for fun: CNET's Chris Matyszczyk acts the clueless consumer in Best Buy to confuse Apple and Samsung products.
16 August: It seems the judge's patience is wearing thin, after asking if Apple was "smoking crack" when handed a last-minute witness list -- all 75 pages of it. Hours afterwards, Koh questioned Samsung's strategy, saying it may have burned up too much of its time cross-examining Apple's witnesses -- using 14 of its 25 hours -- rather than presenting its own case.
Samsung rested its case after putting witnesses on to the stand that said the iPhone maker may owe as much as $421.8 million in royalty payments.
17 August: Apple and Samsung today both ran through the last few hours -- or in Samsung's case, just minutes -- of their allotted 25 hours for rebuttals and clarifications. Still ahead are closing arguments in which the two companies get their last chance to convince a jury of nine that the other company is infringing on its technology.
20 August: Samsung CEO Kwon Oh Hyun had a chat with Apple CEO Tim Cook, but failed to reach a deal. In addition, Motorola Mobility filed new patent infringement claims against Apple, and wants its range of desktop and mobile devices banned from U.S. sale .
In court, one of Apple's experts recreated a 1994 tablet prototype.
Facing disclosure to a jury that both Apple and Samsung failed to uphold document retention laws, the two companies struck a deal to keep the matter of lost emails private. However, Koh had her own problems to deal with -- believing that the jury will have trouble tallying up damages for the two rival firms.
In a separate case from the one in San Jose, Apple began arguing for an appeals court to go through with a ban on Samsung's Galaxy Nexus.
See also: Mutually Assured Destruction: Google/Motorola vs. Apple
21 August: Interested in seeing sketches from the courtroom?
22 August: The closing arguments are in. Apple relied on Samsung's documents to try and prove patent infringement, whereas Samsung argued that siding with the rival firm would change the "way competition works in this country".
Deliberations begin on Wednesday.
25 August: The verdict is in .

New Year`s Stay
We had a very nice New Year`s Stay. We had a lot of fun in the snow. It is very cozy cabin. You will find everything you will need in this house. We enjoyed our stay with three kids. We look forward to come again in the summer time! The Hosts were very friendly And our kids enjoyed very pleasant play date with their kids. Thank you again for everything they made for us. We relay appreciate that.
Perfect! Charming, cozy cabin in a great area
It's impossible for the photos to show just how great this place is. A perfect set-up for a kid-friendly vacation. The sleeping loft is stocked with "awesome Legos" (according to our 4 year old), other toys and games, and two comfy beds. The main cabin area has two separate sitting areas: one with TV (which never got turned on) and another with a gas fireplace and great view of the river. The kitchen is efficient but full sized and nicely appointed with everything we needed. The adjacent creek is a highlight -- it was only about a foot and a half deep so it felt safe and we spent a lot of time on the dock casting a fishing pole and watching a river otter explore. The fire pit provided the opportunity to stay outside later listening to the creek and roasting marshmallows in the October chill. The Wolf River trail is accessible directly across the main road. We biked about 14 miles on a smooth, wide path running parallel the river just west of highway 55 with incredible views and fall color. We also spent a day hiking trails around Jack Lake which was about a 25 minute drive away but well worth it. Did a little fishing on Pickerel Lake which was a short 10-15 drive from the cabin. We didn't even scratch the surface of all there is to explore so we'll be back for sure! This place felt very much like a cabin with all the modern convenience but still a true get-away in a unique space in a peaceful, private setting. It's well cared for, super clean, and makes for a perfect weekend with kids or kid-free! Thanks so much, David!!!
Lots of room and privacy
We drove from Chicago and it worked out great for us over Labor Day Weekend. We had 4 people and there was plenty of room. Caught some perch off of the rowboat. The cabin is very clean and it's on a large piece of land that's right on the water. We cooked on the gas grill and then sat by the huge fire pit after the sun went down. There's also a lot to do in the area. We drove about 45 mins north to the Menominee River for some great river rafting. We were going to rent ATV's in town but it was too late in the day. Great trip.

- Introduction
- Southern Africa before the 15th century
- European and African interaction from the 15th through the 18th century
- European and African interaction in the 19th century
- Southern Africa, 1899–1945
- Independence and decolonization in Southern Africa
The independence of Angola prompted changes in South African strategy toward Namibia during the late 1970s, as South Africa attempted to transform the territory into a quasi-independent buffer against more radical change by proposing complex constitutional arrangements for a transitional government. The strategy, based on the co-option of a local black elite as a moderate alternative to SWAPO, was intended to placate international opinion while leaving control of Namibia in South African hands and keeping its military options open. The constitutional proposals were rejected by the international community, however, and in 1978 the UN Security Council passed Resolution 435, which set out proposals for a cease-fire and UN-supervised elections. South Africa did not move to implement this resolution, though it had accepted similar proposals earlier.
By the second half of the 1980s—in part because South Africa once more had been drawn into invading Angola—the war in Namibia was becoming increasingly costly for South Africa in military, political, economic, and diplomatic terms. A turning point occurred in 1988 when the South African Defense Force's inability to take Cuito-Cuanavale in Angola revealed South Africa's lack of superior airpower and its inadequate weapons technology. Under joint pressure from the Soviet Union and the United States, South Africa finally agreed to implement Resolution 435, and democratic elections in 1989 were won by SWAPO, led by Sam Nujoma. In 1990 Namibia finally achieved independence.

text: http://www.downloadsquad.com – Filed under: Internet, P2PIn what must surely be the least surprising news of 2010, a study by a French university found that piracy increased after France's enactment of a 'Three Strikes Law'. Under the bill, which went into power in July 2009, repeat offenders can be cut off from the Internet. If being cut off is deemed not suitable for the villain's heinous crimes, the judge can instead levy a 300,000 Euro fine or send the megalomaniac pirate to prison for two years. As it turns out, though, the law has a loophole: streaming services and file-storage sites like Rapidshare. While BitTorrent's share of the piracy dropped from 17.1% to 14.6% between September and December 2009, total piracy rose by 3%. Shut down or outlaw one service and its users flee to another -- where have I seen this before? Oh, right, Napster, Kazaa, Suprnova... zZzzZzz... Instead of outlawing pirates, why not take a leaf out of the Netherlands' lawmaking books and make stuff easy to obtain? Piracy exists because there is demand. We don't pillage food trucks on the way to supermarkets because there is no need. Why, after more than 15 years of broadband Internet connections, do we still have to pirate things? It's almost as if government agencies and assorted associations want us to continue breaking the law. "As you show no sign of relenting from your nefarious, terrorist-funding ways, you leave us no choice but to remove your, your son's, and your son's son's access TO THE INTERNETS!!"

anything's possible, of course, but I just don't see how the odds favor your scenario...
Except for a huge wave which could have rolled or pitchpoled them, any other scenario would have allowed time to activate the EPIRB. Capsizing would have to have been a complete surprise to them in that case because if the general sea conditions were that bad as to make them worry about capsizing, they certainly would have had PFDs on and EPIRB and survival gear at the ready. Something happened that did not allow for the few seconds it takes to grab and switch the EPIRB on. On a boat that size, they likely have had personal locator beacons as well. Even if rolled by a "rogue" wave, this boat would not have gone down immediately, allowing crew to escape from below. Something must have happened that sank her in seconds. No crew was found in PFDs which may suggest they were either not overly concerned about the sea condition or that they were all below and were struck by something, going down immediately. They could have come down on a floating object and split open as well. Coming down on a whale or container could conceivably split open a hull and sink it immediately before anyone could react or get out from below and don a PFD.

Dershowitz Picks Fight With J Street
Berates dovish group's rep at AIPAC Conference
That didn't take long: this morning, there was a small to-do at the AIPAC Policy Conference in Washington, D.C., over the "pro-Israel, pro-peace" group J Street, which established itself explicitly to counterbalance the far more powerful AIPAC. Hadar Susskind, J Street's policy director, was being interviewed at the gathering by a Haaretz reporter when, according to the reporter, none other than Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz "broke in to the conversation with a verbal onslaught against the group."
Arguing that J Street "shouldn't call themselves pro-Israel," he accused them of prioritizing certain policy positions over others to cast Israel in a negative light. Noting that he, like J Street, opposes settlements, he nonetheless maintained, "But I spend 80 percent of my time supporting Israel."
In response, Susskind told the reporter: "We have disagreements with AIPAC that I don't want to minimize. But we are all on the same side."
Not sure AIPAC itself will be thrilled to hear about this kerfuffle. For one thing, it thinks of itself—correctly—as significantly more prominent and influential than J Street, and wants its annual conference to showcase, well, itself, rather than its upstart alternative. For another thing, among AIPAC's top messages at the conference is getting sanctions against Iran passed: a policy point on which AIPAC and J Street actually agree.

This is how Pataki summed up the experience just four years ago in an autobiography no one bought: "This wasn't just a policy disagreement. It was a bipartisan agreement to enact a budget that put the interests of governmentmore accurately those of politicians and their careersahead of the interests and needs of the people of New York.
"It was a fraud on the people, enacted to protect the incumbents, including Republicans in the senate who were willing to look the other way in order to return Mario Cuomo and company to office. It was a question of deliberately deceiving the publicindeed, just a few weeks after the 1990 election the extent of the deception was finally revealed: The Cuomo budget carried a $6 billion deficit, far worse than any of us had anticipated. The legislature was called back. All kinds of tough decisions were made that resulted in suffering which wouldn't have had to happen if the process had only had some integrity."
Four years after writing those words, Pataki is living them, turning punditry into prophecy. Just as Cuomo's presidential ambitions guided his 1990 decisions, Pataki's naive national political flirtation is shaping his 2002 agenda, leading to profligate fiscal policies that have cast a cloud of shocking uncertainty over the future of an already beleaguered city and state.
Here are the incontestable facts about the budget he recently shepherded through a legislature as compromised as the one he assailed in 1990 and again, in 1993, when he was the only Republican in the state senate to vote against another Cuomo budget deal:
Raiding almost a billion dollars in federal welfare funds and $200 million from the Environmental Protection Fund, the state will face the coming gap hampered by its reliance this year on $4 billion in one-shot or nonrecurring resources. That's $4 billion Pataki is spending now that will not be available next year, creating the mirage of balance.
Every serious Albany observer on the left and the right knows this budget is a transparently political debacle. Yet when Comptroller Carl McCall issued a chillingly detailed report on the budget on June 28, the only paper in the state to report it was the Albany Times Union. The hard analysis of McCall's experts, warning that the budget fails "to address the imbalance the state will face next year and beyond," was ostensibly dismissed because McCall is himself a candidate, though few would question its accuracy. Frank Mauro, who was once the top budget analyst for the assembly, formed the Fiscal Policy Institute in early 1991 as an outgrowth of the Cuomo crisis of 1990. Mauro recently drew precise parallels between the 1990 and 2002 budgets, predicting flatly that, like Cuomo, Pataki "may have to call a special session this December." At best, Mauro concludes, the day of reckoning will come in 2003.
While Pataki blames the state's weakened condition on 9-11 alone, Mauro points out that tax cuts adopted since 1994 reduced state revenues by over $12 billion this year, making some of them simply unaffordable. Does anybody believe that a re-elected Pataki will stop this hemorrhaging of the tax base to close the gaps he's now aggressively widening?
This budget comes at the same time that Pataki pushed Mayor Bloomberg to make a deal with the teachers union that will open a billion-dollar hole in the city budget. Pataki became the first governor in memory to appear at a press conference announcing the settlement of a municipal labor contractfootage that may wind up in a commercial, though the state's $206 million contribution was a loan the city has to repay. That history-making contract was preceded, of course, by the three-year, multibillion-dollar, middle-of-the-night treasury raid engineered by Dennis Rivera and the hospital workers union.
While the deal snared Rivera's endorsement, Pataki is counting on a highly unlikely billion-dollar ballooning of the federal share of Medicaid to pay for it, another hole the post-2002 governor will have to plug. Rivera's teachers-union counterpart, Randi Weingarten, has yet to endorse the gift-bearing governor, but she did give him the union's highest honor, the John Dewey Award, only given once before to a Republican, U.S. Senator Jacob Javits. Not even Pataki's decision to appeal a court ruling on the state's discriminatory funding formula stopped Weingarten, who understands the rules of election-year arrangements as well as the governor who once abhorred them.
All of this has occurred on the heels of an October 2001 budget agreement for the last fiscal year, patched together after the 9-11 assault by authorizing six new casinos, multistate lottery games, and video lottery machines at racetracks. Not since the state and city's near collapse in the '70s have we budgeted as irresponsibly, as if solvency itself were a gamble.
In the real world of re-election politics, some of this might be understandable if the governor faced a daunting Democratic challenge. What's worse is that the man who portrayed himself as a profile in courage is making the crassest deals with a 30-point lead in every poll. He is sacrificing the state's fiscal future to make himself a Republican star, foolishly hoping to earn the Cheney spot on the 2004 ticket or some other national post.
After voting against the 1993 budget and earning the enmity of the then senate GOP majority leader, Pataki went out for a drink at an Albany bar with his longtime aide Michael Finnegan. "It's all over for me in the senate," Pataki recalled saying in his book. "What's your choice?" asked Finnegan. "You said you'd be different."
Finnegan is now a wealthy investment banker, a sinecure secured by connections. Neither Assemblyman Pataki nor Senator Pataki would have voted for any of the recent deals engineered by Governor Pataki. The governor and his best friend are no longer pretending to be different.

Tough Stuff 20G
Complete all missions on Hardcore Difficulty
Hardcore isn't all that bad really but then again it depends on have good you are. You really have to be on your toes to make this easier. This sounds funny but you are almost impossible to hit if you just drive around in circles, your enemies have a real hard time hitting you. Whether its circles or in a figure eight the point is to keep moving, when you constantly change your direction they can't lock onto you. The upgrades for the machine guns help out a lot and secondary weapons, just make sure you don't die as they reset when you do. You can also hit enemies when they are off screen, just look at your score bar to see if you are hitting anything (since as long as you're hitting an enemy it will count). And remember to take your time or you will die quick, very quick. Two hits from a heavy tank or three from anything that fires a rocket and you're dead. Use caution instead of charging into an area. And stay well away from anything that spits fire.
I'm not going to say which character is best for the job since that depends on how you like to play the game, I'll just say I went with Armand. I find his shield ability to be almost invaluable, it's handy when you need to get away and the Rebound tactic makes tanks and rockets work for you. I've been using him with the Second Chance, Harden Hull, Rebound, and Efficiency-Elite abilities.
Each character comes with their own set of special abilities. So whether you use Diz's EMP, Armand's Shield, Roxy's Air Strike, or Gunnar's Heavy Gun depends entirely on how you like to crush your foes. You'll just have mix and match their offensive and defensive abilities to what works best for you.
Here's a glitch that will prove useful thanks to Insaniac85:
*This may have been patched with the update, so try at your own risk*

Lord Master of Great Skill 30G
Get "Skill Level - Alien" in single player
After getting this I can confirm that you only have to score two to three times more amount of damage than you receive. Your score, damage streaks, and time don't matter what so ever. I got this on level six with a score of about 3.3 million, died once, and no streak above 13 while going as slow as possible. Six is a prefect level to get this on, there are a number of heavy tanks that can easily be hit on the edge of or off screen. Just take your time a try to do the same to as many enemies (killing them off screen) as you can or get them to chase you and kill them while fleeing. It's amazingly easy to get once you know the trick. This has to be done on the hardcore setting as well.
I found some tips for getting this over on the ps3trophies.org site and the credit goes to them not me.

I played Mission 6 (The Cauldron) on Hardcore Difficulty with the Diz character. Upgrades were: Defense:Hardened Hull, Tactics: Static Shock-Elite & Efficiency-Elite & Super Charged.
Just kept pushing forward and using EMP every time there was some tanks or rocket vehicles. Got a 54 kill streak in there too. I lost my streak after 54, but still got a few more streaks over 20.
I did it without loosing a single life. If you watch out for rockets you will be able to survive it easly.
Also got Alien rank on Missions 8 and 9, so I'm sure that with some practice it can be achieved in all missions without a problem.
Also funny thing happened to me at the last boss fight. We doubled KO each other and the game completed for me. I got the trophy Tough Stuff and Alien rank but on scoreboard it was GAME OVER and 0 score.

I was just trying to get maximum damage while taking minimal damage (like the in-game hint suggests). I don't think the kill streak affects it, just how much damage you do and take, so score is probally not a deciding factor.
Lost one life, almost two, and no kill streak over 25 ~ but still got Alien rank on it!
Also did Mission 2 with Superhuman rank trying the same tactic (go for damage whilst taking the minimum possible). Didnt loose a life there but don't think I killed enough for Alien.
Mega Kill Combo 20G
Get a 50x Damage Streak in single player
In order to get this one you are going to have to play on hardcore. You'll have to score 50 kills in roll while not letting the damage streak bar fall (bottom right of the screen) and be as quick about it as you can. Sounds hard but as long as you are putting shots on a target it won't decrease as quick or run out. Its best to try this on levels where enemies and/or groups are in a closer proximity to one another.
Okay, finally got this. I think the best level for it and the one I got it on is level 3. When taking out the SAM sites (shortly after the secondary objective becomes active). I got a 60x streak, so you more than easily can get it there. Diz really seems to be the key to getting this with her EMP and easier controls. Went with the Hardened Hull, Stasis Shock-Elite, Efficiency-Elite, and the Turbo Boost (a must if you want this achievement).
Here's some great advice by heatDrive88 on how to get this achievement:
*Check below for the full post, don't have enough room for the entire thing*
The easiest place to get a 50x damage streak is on Mission 2, when you have to take on the quest of taking down the mortars.
1) Before you enter the first area of enemies at the left-most mortar, make sure you take a look at the map and mentally note the quickest and most efficient path to reach one sub-area to the next. As you progress halfway through while clearing to the right, there's a jump you can take off a cliff which will help get you to the next sub-area faster.
2) Most obviously, go in with your machine gun at the max level of 3, and bring either rockets or the railgun for your secondary weapon. Homing rockets could help so you don't have to try so hard at aiming, but it's not necessary. Don't use a flamer as it will take too long to kill enemies, and the shorter distance is not helpful.
3) Take the Nitro-Boost ability with you at the beginning before the mission starts. These short boosts will help you get from sub-area to sub-area much faster. Just be careful with it and try to only use it on a straightaway, as one wrong boost at a turn or a twisting jump will send you flying, most likely not in the direction you want to go or into the trees which will possibly end up with you being flipped over. If this happens, you're going to get screwed over and the damage streak timer will run out, and you'll likely need to start the mission all over again.
4) Every entrance/exit from each sub-area to another where will have 1 or 2 bunker towers at them, which will only fire weak gunfire bursts at you. As you exit from one sub-area to another, try to shoot and destroy the bunker tower as you are driving away and leaving from the sub-area to the next. This will keep your damage streak timer as high as possible to give you more time to travel from one sub-area to the next. Be sure to also prepare for the inevitable bunker tower as you approach each new sub-area, and begin firing on it immediately when it enters your view to keep the damage streak going.
5) Don't waste time picking up health unless you absolutely need it. The last thing you need to do is let your damage streak timer run off while you attempt to pick up items or shoot at things that won't keep your damage streak going. If you're in the red on health, then of course, try to pick it up as quickly as possible, but just don't take too long as time is definitely a factor.
6) Lastly, don't be afraid to use your railgun or rockets on the enemy, or your special ability. Some people get gun-shy with them, but if you chose the loadout that I recommended, they will regenerate fast enough that you can use your rockets or railgun on every missile truck enemy you run into, and possibly more. Getting hit by an enemy rocket can devastate you health, so you need to dispose of those missile truck enemies quickly and efficiently. If you die partway through your damage streak attempt, you will most definitely have to start the mission over again for another attempt.
