A proposed revision to EU privacy law could have a crippling effect on the online advertising industry.
A revision to EU privacy law could have a crippling effect on the online advertising industry, effectively requiring publishers to gain users' consent before placing cookies on their machines for common online ad practices such as behavioral targeting, retargeting, and audience segmentation.
A proposed amendment to an EU privacy directive states that national governments should "ensure that the storing of information, or the gaining of access to information already stored, in the terminal equipment of a subscriber or user is only allowed on condition that the subscriber or user concerned has given his/her consent, having been provided with clear and comprehensive information."
The EU has repeatedly expressed concerns about the collection of user data for use in online advertising, and often stated that if the industry fails to regulate itself appropriately, it would not be afraid to intervene. Via this revision, it appears to be proposing exactly that.
The wider Telecoms Reform Package -- of which the amendment is part -- must be approved or rejected by the European Parliament and Council by the end of December, according to Struan Robertson, a technology lawyer and legal director at law firm Pinsent Masons who specializes in areas including data security and online marketing. Robertson said the vote is likely to take place by the end of November, and that he would be "surprised" if the package was not approved.
If approved, the amendment would have serious implications for the online advertising industry, much of which relies on the placing of cookies on users' machines to enhance the relevance of online ads. Companies that use cookies for behavioral ad targeting such as Google, AOL, Yahoo, Microsoft, and numerous ad networks, would be forced to gain users' consent before collecting any data on user interactions. Cookies without direct user consent would only be allowed when they are "strictly necessary" to provide a service "explicitly requested" by the user, such as storing shopping cart information on e-commerce sites, for example.
It's currently unclear exactly how local governments might choose to implement the directive through local law, but Robertson suggested it will be "extremely difficult to interpret it in a way that allows the delivery of cookies without user consent," and described the possibility as "a frightening state of affairs" for the advertising industry. "It seems remarkable that we would have a law that will make Web sites so difficult to use, but that's exactly what the directive states. I wonder if organizations would risk ignoring the law in the hope that it won't be enforced," he said.
Some, including Robertson, suggest the IAB should be doing more to stave off formal regulation of this manner. The advertising trade body's U.K. arm released a set of "good practice principles" earlier this year regarding the collection of user data for ad targeting. Those principles highlight the necessity for companies to allow users to opt-out of being tracked around the Web, but do not enforce the need for user consent.
Robertson said the IAB needs to do more to satisfy regulators, and that the organization is, in effect, under-regulating.
Viviane Reding, EU commissioner for information, society and media, made the EU's stance very clear while speaking at a lunch debate on the future of the Internet in Brussels last month. "European privacy rules are crystal clear: A person's information can only be used with their prior consent. Transparency and choice are key words in this debate.... I will not shy away from taking action where an EU country falls short of this duty," she said. During the talk she also highlighted the Commission's privacy-related action against the U.K., launched in April as a result of targeting technology trials conducted by Phorm and British Telecom.

Welcome to Everything Write
We are surrounded by words. Every day we encounter them and live with them - web sites, leaflets, instruction manuals, books, magazines, property schedules – the list is endless. Those involved in the design and collation of text can become so close to an item of work that, when it comes to the final check, simple errors can easily be overlooked. That is why it is helpful to have the material checked by someone totally external to the project or task. A great deal of effort is invested in the design and production of such items so is it not important to ensure that the content is accurate? I think so!
This prompted me to set up Everything Write. I believe that accurate written English is essential for effective communication both in the business arena and our personal lives. The errors in an unchecked document may cause the reader to misunderstand the message or may create the impression that the sender was less than professional. Spellcheckers are useful but there is no substitute for the human eye – how many times have you typed 'from' when you meant 'form'?
I have a sharp eye for detail and over 14 years' experience of working with English language so I am ideally placed to proofread or copy-edit your material. I can also provide you with support in producing accurate and meaningful client communications. I will check your text for spelling, grammar, punctuation and consistency, applying the highest standards of excellence and assuring your confidentiality at all times.
Based in Livingston, central Scotland, Everything Write is operated on a freelance basis and services clients irrespective of location.

The Best Quotes From Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse-Five
23 minutes ago
Using Technology to Deepen Democracy, Using Democracy to Ensure Technology Benefits Us All
The Minnesota election dispute has now lasted for almost five months, with the seat vacant for the last three of them -- but that might just be the beginning, with NRSC chairman John Cornyn telling the Politico that it could take "years" to resolve.
Cornyn... is promising Republican resistance to any potential effort to seat Al Franken while Norm Coleman continues to challenge the result. And Cornyn is clear that this means Franken can't be certified the winner if Coleman takes it [next] to the federal courts, not just [conceding] at the state level...
TPM asked DSCC communications director Eric Schultz for comment. "Republicans have made it clear they will hold this Senate seat hostage in order to pursue their political agenda -- at the hefty expense of Minnesota having full representation in Congress," said Schultz. "We're all awaiting the three-judge panel to return its verdict, and once they do, we will have yet another confirmation that Al Franken won the election -- and hopefully he can get to Washington to do the job he was elected to do."
Right, the science is a means to an end: immortality, superintelligence, superhealth, etc. It is unclear if, how, and when those goals will be achieved. I don't know how one can assert that nanotech will be used to achieve any of those goals when we don't know what form nanotech will take.
Would you agree with the critics who argue that transhumanism is a form of neo-Gnosticism?
(a) truisms you don't have to join a robot cult to believe
(things like: that humans are conditioned in deep, definitive ways by the historical circumstances, social, cultural, artifactual in which they live, as everybody in the humanities has known for centuries, and that, properly so-called, progress is both a technical and political struggle, as most contemporary secular progressive democrats will also already tell you)
(b) palpably false and even flabbergastingly silly ideas that only somebody dumb or panicky enough to join a robot cult would ever fall for
(things like: that somebody -- maybe quite soon! -- will create "intelligence" without a brain and then invest a Robot God with superintelligence that will solve all our problems for us, and that somebody -- maybe quite soon! -- will invent a way to make all the right people invulnerable and immortal by turning "us" into software and plugging into imperishable robot bodies or networks, and that somebody -- maybe quite soon! -- will create swarms of nanobots that will cater to our every wish and make all conflict a thing of the past).
Not to mention, transhumanism too often amounts to a variety of eugenicism, which may be even worse than the robot cult problem.
the curiosity of the spectacle Friedman's argument is making of itself here…. Robert Heilbroner has famously described economists as "the worldly philosophers," as collaborators in the most relentlessly materialist humanist tradition on offer. And [yet] here, to preserve the norms and assumptions of political economy an heir to that tradition, one who has described as his chief contribution to it simply that he takes some of that tradition's commonplace assertions to "their natural conclusions," finds that he must denigrate the very material and bodily foundations on the basis of which that tradition has always defined itself and distinguished itself from all others. To retain what he takes to be a political economist's conception of worldliness, a political economist finds he must disdain the world.Life is lived in material bodies, intelligence is incarnated in material brains, material situations, material dynamisms, peer-to-peer, social struggles play out in material histories materially circumscribed by finite ecosystems, mortal lives, error-prone efforts.
If you were present at one of their board meetings, what's the most succinct, politely phrased, but devastating question you would ask?
I'm sorry to pester you if you felt it didn't merit a reply and forgive me for repeating myself, but I would be VERY interested to know what question you would pose in their boardroom.
Those who prefer to emphasize scientific outliers as definitive rather than simply indispensable to science over the stolid solid science of consensus tend to be crackpots or dupes who foolishly mistake themselves for champions of science or who are indulging in rank fraud.To this, an "Anonymous" commenter replied (this is much abridged, do follow the link for the whole exchange):
In my view, this isn't the best way to spot crackpottery. Oh, yes, crackpots always channel Einstein, Wright brothers, Tesla, Von Braun, etc. ad nauseum. But, unlike the genuine articles, they want special treatment of some kind for their ideas. Always…. [The] Wright brothers built their "flier" (and half a dozen various flying prototypes) first, and then sought investors. Some imitate those examples faithfully, and whether their ideas make it or fail miserably, I respect them. But do crackpots, con men and their dupes do that? Never! They don't bet their lives and fortunes on their ideas, they want a sure thing. So they go to courts, to TV, to gullible venture capitalists, to the internet, organize their own diploma mills, and get their share of "degrees", "fame" and sometimes, alas, quite real money. Their "success" is of course, as fake as their ideas and methods, even financial one…. The sheer hypocrisy of this fake-dissent is enough to make those types absolutely intolerable. Any dissenters are welcome, except fakes.These points are well taken, surely, but I don't happen to doubt that at least some pseudo-scientific crackpots and futurological fraudsters are indeed willing to struggle selflessly and even die (at least professionally) for their dumb ideas, or might at any rate be too stupid or caught up in a full froth of True Belief to grasp that these are the stakes in the game they are playing at.
I don't think seeding the oceans with iron filings was ever a very respectable idea in the first place.
Still there is biochar which seems like a credible geoengineering strategy. And I think we're going to be forced to think about geoengineering at some stage because going zero carbon may not be enough.
The article did not say that iron fertilization is infeasible. It says that diatoms blooms sequester more carbon than other kinds of blooms and that diatoms didn't bloom because of local conditions (lack of silicic acid).
Some scientists have long argued that the iron fertilisation vision was flawed because lack of iron was not always the factor limiting growth; and this result appears to provide some backing for that contention.
But Kenneth Coale, director of Moss Landing Marine Laboratories in California, who has led several iron fertilisation experiments, said the initial burst of phytoplankton growth was consistent with previous findings.
"To date we've conducted experiments in what amounts to 0.04% of the ocean's surface," he told BBC News. "All have indicated that iron is the key factor controlling phytoplankton growth, and most have indicated that there is carbon flux (towards the sea floor) -- this is one that didn't."
"A key aim for the future," he said, "was to understand better the various ecosystems contained in the ocean in order that fertilisation could be conducted in areas containing the 'right' kinds of organism."
This is not to suggest that there aren't longer-term risks for the White House…
Populist sentiment, ultimately, may prove to be both the greatest asset and the greatest risk to the Administration as it tries to enact its agenda. Can the Administration rely on the populist vanguard to shift the Overton Window on matters of class? Or will the broad-based left-of-center coalition that elected Obama cleave itself into halves, making it harder for the Administration to achieve political consensus?
[1] that re-regulation of the idiotically perniciously de-regulated (Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, Commodity Futures Modernization Act, anyone?) corporate-militarist crony capitalist practices is a puzzle-piece actually, explicitly, very publicly on offer, do-ably on offer, supported by people in power with a fight on their hands but a fight they are (or were) equal to with the support of a popular President and spunky Democratic Congressional majorities,
[2] that re-materialization through green initiatives of the idiotically perniciously financialized economy is a puzzle-piece actually on offer, same sort of fight, same sort of stakes,
[3] that re-capture of three decades of idiotic pernicious "elite" wealth capture via welfare for the rich and "Defense" spending takes less time than you might think once you make the tax (including capital gains) code more progressive, and that is a puzzle-piece actually on offer,
[4] that re-instatement of organized labor as countervailing power (does anybody remember G.K. Galbraith?) through EFCA and other federal orders sympathetic to organized labor of the idiotic pernicious corporate-elitist tilt of the Nixon-Reagan (the frowning and smiling faces of the cultural politics of racist resentment that sold the bloody implementation of the corporate-militarist aka neoliberal/neoconservative New World Order) generational epoch is a puzzle-piece actually on offer,
I suspect in the next 10 to 20 years we will see a lot of progress in this area. New neurotechnologies like deep TMS and ultrasonic neuromodulation may allow non-invasive targeting of reward related regions of the brain. This could conceivably lead to cures for many addictions. So drugs may merely become superfluous and unnecessary.
I have an Arendt question and I don't know what would be more sensible than running it past you in case you find yourself with the time and desire to share some of your perspective of her thought. I'm only just getting to know her work, after taking part in a meticulous reading of The Human Condition for class.
One of the most provocative ideas in the book, for me, is that, "Perhaps the most momentous of the spiritual consequences of the discoveries of the modern age ... the reversal of the heirachical order between the vita contemplativa and the vita activa..." (Section 41).
In truth, I feel like it's the book's central claim, or at least one of them.
I feel like I understand what she's talking about, but I don't have a clear sense of what she means to communicate with the term "spiritual." Is there a place in her canon where she speaks to that term outright?
For decades… animal welfare advocates, labor and environmentalists have joined together in an effort to educate their peers and affect policy change with the broad goal of improving the way our food is grown, processed, distributed and eaten. They've snuck into animal factories with hidden cameras, staged protests in Washington and boycotted fast food establishments. They've shopped at farmers markets and planted seeds in community gardens. They've formed a massive and remarkably powerful food and farm movement, and in general, they've kept quite busy reaching for a goal that until recently seemed completely futile and utterly out of reach….
[However], it was just announced that the Obama's are putting in their very own vegetable garden on the White House lawn. This is something that the food movement has been dreaming of since day one, and not one but two separate organizations -- Eat the View and the White House Organic Farm Project -- have been tirelessly promoting for years….
In other exciting news, on March 14th something kind of crazy happened: the USDA banned the slaughter of downer cows. For years, the downer cow has been a compelling symbol of the extreme cruelty and unbridled mechanization that characterizes modern animal farms and slaughterhouses. The web is strewn with videos of nearly-dead, non-ambulatory cattle being dragged, forklifted and shoved through the gates of muddy abattoirs to be slaughtered, butchered and injected into the food supply.
The heart-wrenching and stomach-turning images of downer cows have been an effective tool in converting ignorantly blissful burger addicts into soldiers for PETA, Sierra Club and Slow
Food, and eliminating these sad creatures from our food system is a fairly small but truly meaningful step forward.
So the USDA up and banned them. (Wait, they can do that? If the USDA could do that all along, why didn't this pass decades ago?)
Environmentalists, who for years have fought tooth and nail against an EPA and USDA whose powers were seemingly limited to pandering to corporate evil-doers, are now pleasantly surprised and perhaps even a little shocked to see that these institutions can actually fulfill their mandates of promoting public health and environmental sustainability. [Emphasis added.]
Eco-leaders like NRDC President Francis Beinecke are publishing lists of all the advances that the new administration has already made with regards to environmental policy, and noting how good it feels to have people in Washington who are actually on their side.
January 26, 2009: President Obama directs the EPA to reconsider the agency's decision to deny California's strong limits on global warming pollution from cars, and he calls on the Department of Transportation to raise national fuel efficiency standards.
February 4, 2009: More than 100,000 acres of Utah wilderness win protection from oil and gas drilling after the Department of Interior announced that it will cancel 77 leases issued under the Bush administration.
February 5, 2009: President Obama signs a presidential memorandum requesting that the Department of Energy set new efficiency standards for common household appliances. This will save in 30 years the amount of energy produced by all the coal-fired power plants in America over a two-year period.
February 6, 2009: The EPA announces it will reconsider its decision to deny California permission to set standards controlling greenhouse gases from motor vehicles.
February 6, 2009: On instruction from EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson, the Solicitor General asks the Supreme Court to drop the Bush administration's desperate appeal to resurrect EPA's illegal and harmful power plant mercury rule.
February 10, 2009: Department of Interior Secretary Salazar announces that he is going to make a thorough review of the five-year Outer Continental Shelf oil and gas leasing program that was announced in the final days of the Bush administration.
February 10, 2009: Administrator Jackson grants a petition by NRDC to reconsider and "stay" for three months a harmful midnight air pollution rule adopted by the Bush administration in mid-January 2009 that would allow dirty industries to release more pollution.
February 13, 2009: Congress came to an agreement on an economic stimulus package that includes bold investments for renewable power and energy efficiency, including weatherization programs that will save consumers billions while creating up to 90,000 jobs. Repairing our nation's outdated and corroded water and waste systems will also create more than 200,000 jobs and improve the safety of our beaches, streams, and drinking water.
February 17, 2009: EPA Administrator Jackson grants a petition by NRDC, Sierra Club and EDF to reconsider a disputed memo signed by Administrator Johnson in December 2008 that refused to regulate carbon dioxide from new coal-fired power plants. She announced that EPA would convene a public process to review this memo, in what was widely seen as the first step to reversing the Bush policy.
February 20, 2009: The Obama administration puts its support behind an international, legally binding treaty to reduce global mercury pollution. This position--a dramatic change for the stonewalling of the Bush years--influences policy reversals from other nations including China and India. Now more than 140 countries commit to regulating this dangerous neurotoxin.
February 24, 2009: In his first State of the Union address, Obama calls on Congress to pass legislation to cap global warming pollution and drive expansion of renewable energy. He also pledges $15 billion a year to invest in solar, wind, biofuels, and more efficient vehicles, and to put American to work making our homes and buildings more energy efficient.
February 25, 2009: Thousands of acres in Utah, Wyoming, and Colorado will be protected from harmful oil shale research and development after Department of Interior Secretary Salazar announces that he will reverse course on the Bush administration's leasing program.
February 26, 2009: The Obama administration releases a federal budget that is the first in history to make critical investments in our clean energy future and tackle global warming head on. It includes revenue from a cap and invest program to limit global warming pollution, which is forecast to generate $150 billion over 10 years starting in 2012.
This is an impressive list, but it is only the beginning. President Obama initial decisions show that he meant what he said on the campaign trail. He has a bold, ambitious vision to move American to a new clean energy future, and he has a powerful sense that the safeguards protecting our health and environment must be strengthened. But most important, he has the conviction to put those beliefs into action.

Of the "buzz bands" I caught at this year's SXSW, Blake is by far the one that best lived up to the hype.
Friday was insanely fun, as I spent the afternoon throwing the first ever Gimme Noise day party in Austin in partnership with First Avenue. The party was hopping from the get-go, thanks in part to the free beer offered up by Tiger, and we were thrilled to see a huge contingent of Minnesota natives come out to show their support, including recent L.A. transplant Dan Wilson, Lori Barbero (who spends her winters in Austin and summers in her hometown of Minneapolis), and Twin/Tone founder and former Replacements manager Peter Jesperson.
All of the bands on our bill put on killer shows, too. The Goondas started things off strong by playing like it was their only show at SXSW (which it was), delivering an aggressive and raw set; Marijuana Deathsquads played a scaled-down two-song set without their drummers; Sick of Sarah reminded Jeremy Messersmith how much he loves to RAWK; and Messersmith brought a full string section. Sims of Doomtree (who overtook the festival, gigging as a crew and separately about three times each day) got the crowd dancing, while Solid Gold debuted several new songs. By the time Tapes 'n Tapes took the stage, we were at capacity and the whole room had a sing-along to "Insistor." Success!

As was to be expected, Saturday was the busiest night of the festival so far, as several unannounced gigs sprouted up amid the already-packed itinerary that included a massive Kanye West show at an abandoned power plant, a reunion show by Death From Above 1979, Yoko Ono, Snoop Dogg, and more.
My first priority for the evening was catching a reunion performance by DeYarmond Edison at hipster compound the Fader Fort, one of those only-at-SXSW moments that unfairly happened about 1,200 miles away from the band's core fan base in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. It's hard to say what prompted the quartet to play a one-off reunion show, but all of DeYarmond's members (Justin Vernon of Bon Iver, plus Megafaun's Brad Cook, Phil Cook, and Joe Westerlund) have been gigging and touring together recently in Gayngs, so it wasn't much of a stretch for them to get together for the gig.
"Hi, this is our college band," Vernon said after they finished their first song, a cover of Bonnie Raitt's "Lovers Will." "We haven't played a show in seven years until right now."
For the second song Vernon asked how many Donny Hathaway fans were in the crowd, and explained that they were going to do Hathaway's version of Carole King's hit "You've Got a Friend." Their cover was beautiful, and it didn't take long for the whole place to start singing along to the chorus. And to close it out (yep, they performed only three songs), they played a DeYarmond original, "Set Me Free."
DeYarmond's set was oddly sandwiched between several hip-hop acts, and next up on the bill was the night's headliner, Lil B, who was introduced by surprise guest P. Diddy. Following Lil B's show, Diddy stuck around to play a surprise three-song set. After his performance he brought out Odd Future, who he proclaimed to be the "future of hip hop," and let the crew take over with their hit "Sandwitches."
The crowd was even more amped for Odd Future than they were during Diddy's set, and within the first couple of verses an overexcited crowd member wound up and threw a water bottle on stage, hitting Tyler the Creator squarely in the eye. I had the chance to see two different one-song performances by Odd Future this week, and their energy is incomparable—I've never seen a group of rappers look so pissed off and elated simultaneously.
For the last show of the week, I booked it over to small club Elysium to catch an intimate performance by Yoko Ono. The iconic professor of peace did her best to reach out to the tired audience, peering out over a pair of dark oval sunglasses into the eyes of the people standing in the front rows while smiling a sweet smile.
She was backed by her Plastic Ono Band, which for this show included her son Sean Lennon (who also acted as a sort of ringleader for the evening, emceeing between acts decked out in top hat and long black marching band jacket), guitar player Nels Cline of Wilco, and drummer Greg Saunier of Deerhoof, among others. Ono gave a performance that was raw, primal, and unnerving, yelping and stuttering into the microphone in an abrasive style that clashed sharply with her demure, cute stage presence.
Prior to Ono's set, Lennon invited Merrill Garbus and Nate Brenner of tUnE-yArDs to perform a rendition of Ono's "We're All Water," complete with their signature vocal loops and tribal, syncopated drum beats. "I feel incredibly blessed and lucky; this is one of my favorite bands on the planet," Lennon stressed both before and after tUnE-yArDs played, and they surely gained a few new fans with their righteous cover of the song.

Instantaneous net flux
At the 2005 American Geophysical Union in San Francisco, scientists took a tour of the Earth's frozen assets, or cryosphere, using NASA satellite images. This one shows a swath of instantaneous net flux measured by NASA's CERES (Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System) experiment on June 20, 2003. Regions in daylight are warming (orange/red) while regions in darkness are cooling (blue).
Flow of glacial ice
This image, which shows the flow of glacial ice toward the ocean, was derived from measurements from the European Space Agency's Earth Resource Satellite. The flow rate of the Jakobshavn Glacier in Greenland more than doubled from 1997 to 2003.

Catawba County Schools officials say relocating Banoak Elementary School will solve a host of pending issues in the Foard area.
They say by relocating the school to a nearby vicinity, CCS can ease overcrowding problems at Mountain View and Blackburn elementary schools, and remove students from a current Banoak building in desperate need of improvements.
However, the relocation could cause the current Banoak School to be no more — something surrounding residents have something to say about.
Officials have suspended an elementary school student for 10 days after a teacher found a BB gun in his backpack this week.
Police said the student showed the BB gun pistol to one of his friends Wednesday morning at Clyde Campbell Elementary School in Hickory. His friend alerted a teacher.
Catawba County Sheriff Coy Reid said the BB gun was inoperable, adding that the student did not threaten anyone and did not have any BBs.
Catawba County Schools officials suspended the student for 10 days.
Newton is crawling with cats.
A booming population of what appears to be feral felines is causing problems and it has city leaders looking for solutions.
"Staff and citizens have observed a large number of feral cats throughout the city. As a result, animal control has captured a number of cats that were apparently homeless," said Newton City Manager Todd Clark. "The city of Newton is doing what is in the best interests of our citizens to protect their health, safety and welfare."
A pottery and soup fundraiser Saturday will help fill the stomachs of hungry citizens in Catawba County.
St. Stephens High School will host the sixth annual Empty Bowls event in its cafeteria from 5-8 p.m.
For $15, guests get a handmade pottery bowl, gourmet soup from local restaurants, homemade yeast rolls, dessert and a drink.
All proceeds will benefit The Corner Table in Newton and the Hickory Soup Kitchen.
During the event, students will perform monologues and songs for entertainment.
Robert "Bob" Thomas, who served three terms as district 25 attorney, died this week at his Hickory home.
He was 82.
Thomas served in the U.S. Air Force and worked 23 years as a special agent in the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
From 1982-94, he served as district attorney in North Carolina's 25th district, which includes Catawba, Caldwell and Burke counties.
Sean McGinnis, current assistant district attorney, said Thomas hired him in December 1993.
Catawba County's Justice Center was a busy place Thursday, and The Observer News Enterprise is delivering all the details in the Friday print an online editions.
Michael Anderson was sentenced to at least 16 years in prison for the second-degree murder of his roommate last year. The 20-year-old's guilty plea comes after he shot and killed Stephen Starr and mutilated the man's body with an ax.
Another killer received a life jail sentence for pleading guilty to killing a 26-year-old woman in a Hickory mobile home park in 2006.

Four more Indians were charged on Thursday for alleged rioting in Singapore's worst outbreak of violence in over 40 years as police continued the crackdown on foreign workers, taking the number of Indians charged to 31.
Four Indians were charged in court in connection with riots in Little India, a precinct of Indian-origin businesses, eateries and pubs where most of the South Asian workers take their Sunday break, triggered by the death of an Indian in a road accident.
Sellamuthu Elangovan, 45, Ammasi Venkatesan, 27, Selarasu Dhanapal, 25, were accused of throwing pieces of hardened concrete at the police officers in response to the melee along Race Course Road in Little India, The Straits Times reported.
The fourth man, Arumugam Karthik, was said to have been a member of an unlawful assembly and accused of attacking — with a dustbin, wooden stick, hardened concrete, bottles and a metal drain cover — a private bus that fatally knocked down 33-year-old Sakthivel Kumaravelu at the junction of Tekka Lane and Race Course Road.
Kumaravelu died in the accident on Sunday night. The bus was to ferry South Asian workers from Little India to their dormitories.
Karthik, 24, was also accused of overturning and setting ablaze a police vehicle during the chaos.
The case involving the four would be heard on December 19.
Police said investigation against other Indians involved in the rioting was ongoing.
Twenty-seven Indian nationals had been charged in court till Wednesday for the rioting.
The police have interrogated about 3,700 foreign workers from 10 dormitories across the island so far. Of these, 176 had their statements taken at the Criminal Investigation Department, including those who were subsequently arrested.
About 400 South Asian migrant workers were involved in the Sunday rampage that left 39 police and civil defence staff injured and 25 vehicles, including 16 police cars, damaged or burnt.
Singapore previously witnessed violence of such scale during race riots in 1969.
The Criminal Legal Aid Scheme was helping to secure lawyers for all the accused, its representative told the Court.
The Indian High Commission in Singapore was working with Singapore's Foreign Affairs Ministry to facilitate consular access and support for all the accused.
Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong has ordered the formation of a special committee to probe the incident and warned to use "full force of the law" against trouble-makers.

You know how they say if you don't have anything nice to say then don't say it at all? That would explain the Queens absence from the Kings. In short, I am excited the Kings have at least one more season in Sacramento and I won't have to retire my throwback Tyus Edney jersey just yet.
You may be asking yourself why is this night different from all other nights? The answer is obvious-it's Draft Day. The Kings, who really can't catch a break (or a win) if there lives depended on it, have the #7 draft pick. That is seven too late to get my boy Derrick Williams from my alma mater UofA. However, rumors are reporting the Kings are in talks with the Bucks and Bobcats for a three-team deal that wiould send Beno Udrih (quite possibly the Kings only reliable player) to the Bucks and the Kings would then acquire John Salmons and trade the #7 pick for the #10 pick. I honestly can't think of a worse idea. First of all, we already had Salmons for three seasons. If he was a valuable asset to the Kings we would have kept him. Sure, he has been playing well recently, but lets not forget we traded him for a reason. The only good I see coming from this potential deal is the Kings acquiring Jimmer Fridette, the 3-point sensation and MVP of BYU. The Kings have had good luck in the past with this kind of player (John Barry, Peja Stojakovic, Jason Williams) so in my eyes it could be a good thing (depending on when Jimmer actually gets drafted). Plus, who wouldn't want to see a Jew and Mormon hug it out on the court?
If I really was the Queen of the Kings, come 5pm things would go a little something like this: "And with the #1 pick in the NBA draft, the Sacramento Kings select Derrick Williams from the University of Arizona."
Happy Draft Day to all!

For over three decades, Aerosmith have been one of rock's most revered and wildly popular bands, crafting timeless songs full of raw guitars and fiercely energetic vocals. The band first reached stardom in the '70s with a string of chart-topping songs, including "Dream On, "Sweet Emotion" and "Walk This Way." During this period, Aerosmith's music defied easy categorization, falling somewhere between bluesy hard rock and early-era punk (with occasional ballads here and there).

Tony Tyler's remarks at AVSEC World, which took place in Washington, on 27 October
Press Release No.:
Date: 2 June 2011
Singapore - The International Air Transport Association (IATA) reiterated its support for the construction of a third runway at Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) as the Airport Authority Hong Kong (HKAA) opened public consultations on the project.
"Aviation is a critical part of Hong Kong's economy. It connects 1,300 regional head offices to their markets and gives Hong Kong an important global presence as a major gateway to China. But the Hong Kong hub can only fulfill its important economic role if it has sufficient capacity to grow. For this, a third runway is needed," said Giovanni Bisignani, IATA's Director General and CEO.
HKIA is rapidly approaching its effective capacity of 74 million passengers and 6 million tonnes of cargo. In 2010, HKIA served a record 50.9 million passengers and 4.1 million tonnes of cargo. IATA airlines serving HKIA forecast that by 2014, 62.2 million passengers and 5.3 million tonnes of cargo will travel to and from Hong Kong.
"Over the last decade HKIA traffic grew from 33 million to 51 million passengers. Demand is growing faster than originally projected and the airport will certainly be saturated before the original blueprint forecast of 2040. That's a serious issue for Hong Kong's economy. To remain a great place for businesses to serve both China and the region, the Hong Kong hub must be supported with investments to stay ahead of the curve on capacity," said Bisignani.
"There are lots of competitors for the growing aviation business and the economic opportunities that come with it. Beijing completed an expansion of Capital airport in 2008 that increased capacity to about 82 million and already there are plans for another mega airport to serve the city's growing needs. In Shanghai, Pudong's master plan is for five runways and the ability to handle 80 million passengers and 5.7 million tonnes of cargo. To grow and remain competitive, Hong Kong needs to build as well," said Bisignani.

Team Anna on Sunday hoped that the government will convene a special session of Parliament to pass the Lokpal Bill in a month's time.
Team member and senior lawyer Prashant Bhushan said the government has told them that it would include all the three issues in the Bill and send it to the Standing Committee concerned.
"We hope that the government convenes a special session of Parliament within a month's time to pass Lokpal Bill," he said in Ramlila Maidan, minutes after Anna Hazare ended his fast.
"By that time, we hope that the Standing Committee also completes its work so that the Bill can be passed," the Supreme Court lawyer said.
Asked about their stand on their government version of Lokpal Bill, Mr. Bhushan said there is no point in demanding its withdrawal now as Parliament has agreed in-principle on three issues raised by the Team Anna.
Meanwhile, activist and another team member Medha Patkar dismissed suggestions that Team Anna was divided.
"We don't have any differences among us. The reports that I and Prashant Bhushan went to negotiate with the government because we are moderate are totally untrue," she said.
"First of all that day it was decided that I and Prashant Bhushan will go as different people engaged in different activities," she said.
Ms. Patkar said she would not have joined the negotiating team if she had any inclination that it will lead to speculation about differences among the members.
"Our views are very clear. We take decisions unitedly. We consider Arvind and his team as real core team," Ms. Patkar said.

Are antibiotics in livestock to blame for increased antibiotic resistance in humans?
In all forms, fruits and vegetables are inherently nutritious, no matter whether eaten fresh, canned or frozen. In recent years, a number of marketing tactics have presented organic fruits to be safer, based on the premise that they are grown without pesticides. In truth, both organic and conventional farmers use pesticides on their crops.
Like all businesses, farming is subject to the prevailing market forces that dictate whether production is expanded or contracted based on input and labor costs as well as the existing market opportunities. While farm payments help some farmers navigate tough market conditions in the short-term, farm payments do not necessary effect the long-term viability of producers or the price of food.
With the increasing number of recalls in the news, many Americans are wondering if their food is safe. There is still a lot of room for improvement but overall, the U.S. food safety system works as well or better than most countries.
Foods produced and processed in the most industrially developed countries such as the United States, Canada, Australia/New Zealand and the European Union (EU) are similar in quality and safety, but food from developing nations varies widely.
Experts conclude that there is no greater level of meat safety from cattle fed grass versus those fed corn.
The question is often asked by critics of modern animal agriculture but the size of the farm is not a reliable indicator of animal welfare. Research shows good animal husbandry has more to do with the people providing the care.
Small and large farms present different challenges, but both require skilled and conscientious management to promote good animal care. While there are fewer animals on a small operation, time spent caring for the animals must be juggled with various tasks. On larger operations...
Like other business owners, farmers have different skills, expertise, financial positions, and appetites for risk. Reducing costs and risk through contracts allows a farmer to establish a steady income source that is attractive to traditional farm lenders.
In contract production, the farmer is responsible for construction of the barns and the day-to-day labor while someone else, either another farmer or a company, provides...
Ever wonder what went into the steak that winds up on your dinner table? It's common knowledge that corn is a dietary staple for food animals, but what else do they eat? We contacted Dr. Danelle Bickett-Weddle, lecturer and associate director at the Center for Food Security and Public Health, Iowa State University, to find out more.
Recently, Best Food Facts received a reader question asking, "Is tilapia safe to eat? I've heard that it's often farm raised in countries where there are no guidelines, and they are essentially raised in waste and pumped full of antibiotics."
To answer this question and learn more about tilapia, we reached out to Kevin Fitzsimmons, PhD, Professor, Extension Specialist & Research Scientist at the University of Arizona
Recently, Best Food Facts recieved a question asking "Is it better for you to eat a rare/medium-rare or well-done hamburger? Are you losing nutrition content when the burger is well-done?" We reached out to Dr. John Comerford, who is an associate professor at Penn State University, to help us answer these questions.
Recently, a Best Food Facts reader asked about her concern of red meat, and if it can be unhealthy for you. We reached out to Dr. Ruth MacDonald, Chair of Food Science Department at Iowa State University, to talk to us about red meat.
One in every three bites of food you eat is pollinated either directly or indirectly by honey bees. With bees dying at a rapid pace, mentions of colony collapse disorder (CCD) are on the rise. What is CCD? What is causing it? What can be done to ensure bees stop suffering from it? Two experts respond.
Cooking can be simple, but simple mistakes can turn vegetables into a complex disaster. This easy-to-use chart outlines how many minutes to steam, microwave, blanch and boil your favorite veggies.
One in every three bites of food you eat is pollinated either directly or indirectly by honey bees. Dr. Dennis vanEngelsdorp says there can be a balance between modern agriculture practices and a thriving honey bee population.
We've been hearing about honey bees in the news lately – an increase in the rate of honey bee mortality over the winter is concerning to farmers who rely on them for pollination. The devastation of American honey bee colonies is the result of many factors. A recent comprehensive federal study says that pesticides, parasites, poor nutrition and a lack of genetic diversity are contributing factors. A decline in honey bees could create significant problems for American farms that rely on the pollination to grow their products annually. And it's not a small issue. American agricultural products are worth tens of billions of dollars a year.
To answer a few questions, we reached out to Dr. Dennis vanEngelsdorp, Assistant Research Scientist, Department of Entomology, University of Maryland.
A recent study published in Environmental Health Journal assessed the risks to children from the cumulative exposure to chemicals and pesticides in a variety of foods. The study claims that cancer and non-cancer benchmarks were frequently exceeded by children for several food contaminants. Based on the study's findings, the researchers suggested that new dietary guidelines be developed to minimize exposure to these contaminants.

Model is 5'7" and is wearing size small. 95% Polyester, 5% Spandex. Hand Wash Cold. Imported.
NEED HELP CHOOSING A SIZE? See measurements & fit info for this garment in the Size & Fit dropdown!
PRODUCT MEASUREMENTS: Compare these measurements to your own body measurements. We measure each item "relaxed" on a flat surface, not stretched on a person's body. It is helpful to consider the material of the item, as some stretchy materials may give an inch or two.
Because sizing and cut will vary between brands, please use this information as a general guide. Use our Size Chart to help determine your size. If you are between sizes or need help finding the proper size, please Chat with a Stylist.
Beautiful dress. Fits beautiful. The quality is amazing for the price. Its stretchy so go down a size.
My measurements said a medium but I ordered a small on the off chance that it would fit. And it did! The material is good and stretchy. So it fits an assortment of body types. It's really flattering, not too short, not too revealing.
This dress is very cute! I don't feel as sexy as some other reviewers have mentioned but I am wearing it to a wedding and I think it will be perfect! It is true to size, I am 5'4.5" and 140lb so I am a bit curvy, small waist, wider hips, 32C. The small fits me perfectly.
I bought this dress because it is very similar to the "Home Before Daylight" dresses which i have purchased 4 different colors, (did not have a RED) the fit, quality and versatility are almost exactly the same. Although I consider myself slender, my hips are a bit bigger in proportion to the rest of my body and this style is VERY flattering! I am 5' 7 136 lbs. 34D 29 waist 39 hips. Ordered medium and fits great!
I bought this dress for a wedding July 4th weekend. I have a petite/athletic build at 5'0" and 100 lbs. I ordered the dress in XS and I'm very happy with the length. However, it's a little loose around my waist. I have to add a belt to achieve the slender look I was hoping for from the dress. The weather is expected to be hot and I think the lightweight stretchy fabric will do well. Overall, I am very happy with the dress.
I bought this dress for my company holiday party and it was a huge hit! i'm 5'6, 135 and wear a medium in just about everything - I bought a medium and it fit perfectly! So I say it's pretty true to size. Super fun dress. The fabric wasn't what I was expecting but it turned out very flattering and extremely comfortable!
I bought this dress for my husbands Christmas Party and I think it's perfect! I was nervous after reading the reviews, but it fits perfectly. I'm 5'4 and ordered a small; the dress hits about an inch above my knee. I thinks it's a classy dress and the color is beautiful, especially for the holiday's!
Absolutely love the dress. When i first put it on i had doubts that i should have got the blue one but eventually i grew into it. If you want something different this is the dress for you. The size was perfect and i just adore the see through lines on the top and bottom hem. If i could id be the blue one!
This is the perfect RED dress for every women's closet! Be ready to stand out in the crowd, this dress is a show stopper. The only thing is it runs a little big, no big deal. Love this dress, I'm actually thinking of getting this in the black color also.
I wore this to a sorority formal and got tons of compliments. I'm only 5'0, but the small fit perfectly. Be aware if you're busty that the top sheer panel will show come cleavage, so you'd want to wear it somewhere that will be appropriate. It's still a classy dress regardless.
Love love love this dress! It is a little longer than it appears in the picture but its perfect size wise. I bought this for a Christmas party and I could not be happy. A great choice for any occasion, highly recommended!
This material felt very cheap to me. It was kind of foamy. The color was pretty but I had to return it.
This dress is so seductive, but in a classy way! The color is beautiful, true to what is shown in the pictures online. The fit is true to size as I ordered the dress in my usual size and it fits comfortably. I would definitely recommend adding this piece to your wardrobe for when you want to put on something other than your go-to LBD.
Super cute dress the cut out parts are super sexy, I think its a little long wish it was shorter also runs a little big. But its super cute on. The bottom part of the dress flows well. I wore this dress for my friends wedding. The Red is very red, im not a color person but i wanted to try some color everyone thought i was a great color on my tan color skin. Want to buy the blue one.
I was skeptical about buying a dress online, but went ahead and bought this dress in a size small and couldn't be more pleased! It is tighter in the chest which worked for me but maybe not all. The skirt also carries more material than I was expecting, but I love it. It's is comfortable, appropriate and hugs all the right places! Best outcome I could've asked for!
I'm 5' 4", about 120lbs, with a 32-34" bust so after reading the other reviews I decided to go with a small. I got this dress for sorority recruitment so I wanted to make sure the mesh wouldn't go to high and expose too much. The dress does fit a little loose around the waist but I don't want to risk exchanging it for an xsmall and having it expose too much. Other than that, the dress is perfect and classy but beware it does run large.
I'm 5'5, about 123 lbs, curves in all the right places. I bought a size medium and the dress was way too big, didn't fit or look right at all. The red color also seemed muted to me (not vibrant at all) so I returned this one.
Great color and dress design for a dress. Wanted to love it, but the material is not forgiving at all. Tight in the chest area as well.
As soon as I put this on I fell in love with it! It's such a flattering fit, and I think this dress would go great on any body type. The material is thick and is exactly what it's like in the picture. I think it's definitely worth getting :)
I loved this dress! I'm 5'2"
The waist part runs a little bit large, everything else is great!

I'm looking for opinions on my new nose. Why did I get it done? As a kid, I had too many soccer balls and elbows hit my nose, and as I aged, it became really crooked.

Which is why Harry gives you hot sauce. And if you choose the hot, and not the mild, don't say I didn't warn you. "I use Congo peppers, straight from Trinidad," Harry will tell you. "They are like a ball of fire. Peppers in Trinidad are different from those you get here, completely. You can taste the difference; they are hotter and more encouraging. All peppers are hot, that's their common denominator, but these give you a burning sensation in your ears, your nose, and your throat. Oh, it burns! That's what makes them so delicious." Personally, I recommend sampling Harry's really hot hot sauce by the tweezer-full, though the mild can be eaten by the thimble.
Is it really that hot? I suppose it depends on just how tough you are. When I was in college, a popular pastime among my more macho friends was to offer to pick up the table's check if anyone could down an entire ounce of Harry's hot sauce. Please know, the one kid who pulled off this feat still brags about it, and it was so impressive we still let him. If you long to play this game with friends in other cities, you'll be happy to know that Harry recently bought up the contents of three Trinidad pepper fields, and he is traveling to Trinidad at the end of November so that he can oversee the bottling of his top-secret-recipe hot sauce. Tentative slogan? "Oh God, it's hot!"

Of course, the irony is that Harry became famous for hot sauce in the land of lefse back when this really was a lot closer to actually being the land of lefse. I think that that is one of the things I enjoy most about Harry Singh, aside from his food. For 20-odd years now he has been a prominent, ever-eccentric, ever-stable, ever-nice guy, welcoming all comers into his world, cooking his brilliant Caribbean home cooking for anyone willing to venture out of the comfort zone they were born into. And in this moment in time, when so many people seem to treat their homes--and worse, their minds--as fortresses that must admit nothing, ever, it seems we need Harry Singh more than ever.
