Court offers little insight into the ongoing debate over whether the CFAA applies to an alleged faithless employee.
Not long ago, the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the conviction of an employee under the CFAA in United States v. Roberto Rodriguez. In that case, the Eleventh Circuit took on the question of whether an employee "exceeds authorized access" under the CFAA by accessing information on a computer in a manner contrary to an employer's written policies. The answer according to the Eleventh Circuit: Yes.
A few days ago, the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit weighed in on the debate without offering much insight into its thought process. In United States v. Batti, the Sixth Circuit upheld a conviction under the CFAA of an information technology employee, Luay Batti, accused of stealing confidential data from and using his employer's computers. According to the appellate court's decision, Batti accessed his employer's computer systems and copied confidential electronically stored information belonging to the Chief Executive Officer. The electronically stored information contained information regarding executive compensation, financial data and strategic business plans.

Warren Beatty reveals the real reason why he took a 13-year hiatus from Hollywood.Read More »
Excess – fueled by fame, fortune and self-serving, often-destructive behavior -- often goes hand in hand with success, especially in the movie biz. Few film history books proved that as well as "Easy Rider, Raging Bulls: How the Sex-Drugs-and-Rock 'n' Roll Generation Saved Hollywood."Read More »

Film legend Warren Beatty has wrapped principal photography on his Howard Hughes project--the director's first feature in almost 20 years--after a 74-day shoot. In the slice-of-later-life biopic the 77-year-old producer-actor-director stars opposite romantic interest Lily Collins, 25.Read More »
Stuntman and sometimes actor Nash Edgerton (yep, brother of Joel Edgerton and part of the Blue Tongue Films collective) has earned the most acclaim for his directorial efforts, fare such as 2008's "The Square" or the recent short "Bear."

After more than a decade being MIA at the multiplex, bona fide legend Warren Beatty is coming back with a new film. Though recent reports suggested he might've abandoned playing Howard Hughes, not to worry, as Beatty will indeed play the famed billionaire recluse in a movie that's not quite about Hu...Read More »
We know, we've been here before. Back in 2012 Warren Beatty's untitled Howard Hughes film, which has been developing for years, was said to still be "in the works," with the legendary actor also set to direct, with a cast that was said to include Felicity Jones, Annette Bening, Jack Nicholson and Ow...Read More »
Not seen on the big screen since 2001's "Town & Country," and not having directed a movie since 1998's "Bulworth," any Warren Beatty news is cause for curiosity -- though optimism is something that you'll likely want to keep on hold. Remember last year when it loo...Read More »
It's almost impossible to overstate the influence of Arthur Penn's "Bonnie & Clyde."

Tablet. Hotels for Global Nomads
Travel Better.
Tablet Plus
Luxe Hotel Sunset Blvd
11461 Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA, USA
Neighborhood: Brentwood
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
With a name like that, it's not hard to guess where they're coming from. The Luxe Hotel Sunset Boulevard is luxe indeed, with a location that's more upscale retreat than downtown hipster haunt — it's spread over seven acres of parkland in Brentwood, near the Getty Center, where Sunset Boulevard is a winding mountain road, not a neon-lit urban strip.
Some stylish hotels are a little disappointing once you get past the lobby, but this is not a problem the Luxe has. If anything the rooms are even more stylish than the public spaces, and they're long on comfort as well. The look is sleek and contemporary, the interiors clearly designed rather than just decorated, but they're warm rather than edgy, in rich earth tones and classic materials and finishes. The smallest room is a vast 550 square feet, and the amenities are luxury through and through: flat-screen TV, iPod docking stereos, and massive Roman-style baths in the suites.
A full-service spa completes the urban-resort package — just minutes from the Getty Center or UCLA, with Santa Monica an easy drive away.
How to get there:
Luxe Hotel Sunset Blvd is a 20-minute drive from Los Angeles International Airport, but the trip can take up to 40 minutes in traffic. Valet parking is available for $25 USD + tax per night.
- Complimentary upgrade upon hotel check-in, based upon availability
- Complimentary continental breakfast for two (a value of US$16.00 per person per day)
- One complimentary glass of champagne or one cocktail, per guest, upon arrival (an approximate value of US$9.00 per guest, depending on the drink)
- Guaranteed 2 p.m. check - out

What I liked:
Hotel is located at Brentwood, an upscale residential area. It was surrounded by acres of greenery. Style of hotel is very contemporary and cosy.
What the hotel could do better:
Food at hotel was mediocre definitely needs improvement. Had ordered room service and breakfast at the restaurant.
The thing that needed improvement is definitely the internet. The plus was the free wi-fi however the connection was slow and extremely unstable.
I noticed other guests had the same problem.
Upon checkout receptionist didnt ask me abt my stay. Instead she seem rushed and barely looked at me when handing over my receipt. That was quite a turn-off.

Space Camp
If You Find the Old Beat, Play It
Royalty, Etc.
As the title of this band's debut suggests, there's pleasure to be had in an old beat, even if "old" here means turning gray around the edges at the age of 10. While there have been a handful of recent local releases (Middlepicker, Superdanger) that borrow from and give nods to decade-old Pacific Northwest indie rockers like Built to Spill and Modest Mouse, Space Camp might be the biggest fans of those jangly guitars, spiraled verses, and pained, multi-layered vocals. Produced by Mike Wisti (the Rank Strangers), the four-piece indie band relies less on splintered song arrangements à la Doug Martsch and more on pure pop aesthetics--Space Camp are all about modest guitar solos and catchy hooks. "I Am Over" is a two-minute power-pop break-up sing-along that will surely inspire some pogoing when played live, and "Beat Up Chevy" might start out languid and Midwestern introspective--harmonica and all--but by the end you won't be able to get the oddly jubilant chorus, "And we don't know how to slow this fucker down," out of your craw.

Supplement 13: Starport Encounters
Megan R.
[Featured Reviewer]
Date Added: 10/18/2013 12:03:34
Remarkably useful to any Traveller referee, this product provides a whole bunch of resources to aid in the creation of rich background detail, much of which have the potential to become an adventure in themselves. It comprises three sections: Starcrews, Cargoes and Fellow Travellers.
Starcrews provides details on those who work in space. They can be used to fill out a crew, as fellow patrons in a starport bar or.. well, turning up anywhere that fills your needs. But before we get to them, this section begins with various notes about starships and their crews and even a selection of starcrew slang and material to help you flesh out the ones you choose to use.
The section is then divided into sections based on the ship each crew works, beginning with Scouts/Couriers and continuing with Traders, Naval Ships and a catchall Others category. Each entry gives the name of the ship itself and those of the crew (or the more significant ones in the case of those ships with a large complement). Then there is some referee information about that ship and crew, and adventure hooks should you wish them to be more than just another ship in the distance. The way in which this is done means that if, for example, one of the characters gets into conversation with a crewmember in a bar, you are equipped with the background information you'll need for a lively conversation rather than frantic head-scratching to come up with details to answer likely questions such as "Which is your ship?" or "What cargo are you carrying?"
Speaking of cargoes, that is the focus of the next section. This consists of information to aid you in fleshing out cargoes to far more than mere dtons and value. Is it dangerous, or does it require feeding? There are a lot of notes about using cargoes creatively to enliven or even comprise adventures with, in true Traveller tradition, quite a few tables on which to roll. The discussion moves on to different cargo types: natural resources, processed resources, manufactured goods, information and novelties. The initial discussion covers 'HazMat' style warning signs that may be affixed to a consignment, and these are used throughout the listings to indicate possible threats that they may pose in transit. There are notes for each cargo listed to make them even more interesting (and perhaps adventure-worthy). Finally, if nothing catches your eye or you are in a rush to come up with a cargo, there is a set of tables for generating cargoes in considerable detail from a few die rolls. Trade need never be boring again!
The final section is Fellow Travellers. These are the people who, like the character themselves, spend at least part of their time roaming the spacelanes. If the characters take passage on a ship, some of these may be fellow passengers; if their ship offers passage these folk may buy tickets to travel with them. (One of my characters is chef on a ship that offers a high standard of service - it is surprising what adventures you can have with this concept... and my referee hasn't got a copy of this book yet, the game's been going a year or so and as I write this has just been published!) Fellow Travellers are classified by the passage purchased - High or Middle - and by whether they are travelling in a group or by themselves. Each comes with UPP and copious notes about their background, reasons for travelling and even how he's likely to behave, making role-playing him extremely easy.
A very useful resource that ought to grace evey Traveller referee's bookshelf (or hard drive).

Starports is a great supplement for Traveller. Consider that PCs will spend a great amount of time at one, and that thus far we didn't really have any maps for them. Included are several maps of new stations, what you can expect at an average station, a list of encounters and even cool story plots for each of the presented stations.
The artwork is great, the book is organized in a manner that exceeds most of Mongoose' releases. I recommend this as a resource for any science fiction game.

I was disappointed with this product. Primarily bought because it has an 'Operational Campaign' system, but this turns out to be incomplete and the player is left filling in the gaps in the rules. The new navy lists are welcome, but most are incomplete and are missing significant classes of ships. And don't expect much support; messages left on the publisher's forum, and emails, asking if there is an errata, or any supplementary materials to resolve these issues, have gone unanswered. I am glad I have the supplement, and the information that is in it will be useful, but it is incomplete and does not live up to the expectations generated by the description.

Spinward Marches Map Pack

Verified Purchaser
Date Added: 09/18/2013 22:08:51
Essentially a one-page PDF showing the Spinward Marches sector. Nothing new or noteworthy here. Same format and style we have seen since the Spinward Marches Map in 1980.
Here's how this would have earned four or five stars with me:
> 8-12 pages of additional info. Maybe not planetary data but an analysis of the sector, adventure hooks, Library Data, SOMETHING to flesh it out a little.
> It is formatted as an 8.5x11" sheet not the original poster size. that means I can't print it across multiple pages to retain the size of the original and maintain resolution
> Not that I'd print it anyway! It's all black with white hexes. As a PDF it would be nice, even essential, to reverse the colors so that I could print this without using $40 in toner!
> Layers; none. there would be an added utility if I could turn on/off layers such as starport data, amber zones, etc. so that I might add a "fog of war" to challenge the players.
All-in-all, you get a one-page utilitarian sector map with no interactivity. It has some use if used with the Spinward Marches sourcebook, but there are better mapping tools out there that are free and allow for much more flexibility.

Wayfarers is pretty easy to describe--it's a classless, point-buy version of Dungeons and Dragons, with some inspiration taken from d20 games but mostly rooted in the 2nd Edition-era and earlier game. This sounds like it should be my perfect fantasy game, but unfortunately, the book falls down on a few levels and I can't award it more than 3 stars.
The actual system isn't bad. Since it's based on Dungeons and Dragons, everything is familiar. The primary roll for determining success is the d20, weapons have variable damage (slightly higher than in either 2nd or 3rd edition), character abilities are defined by "proficiencies" and "disciplines" (essentially Skills and Feats) and so on. None of that is any different.
The primary difference comes in with the advancement system. As I said, Wayfarers is classless, and so the advancement is more similar to games like The World of Darkness where the GM awards between 1 to 5 "skill points" at the end of each adventure or session, and then they're spent on the proficiencies and disciplines.
The proficiencies have a neat mechanic that prevents the 2nd edition and lower problem of incompetence or the d20 problem of people ending up with such different bonuses that they can't meaningfully interact. Each proficiency has four grades, and each grade lets you roll an extra d20 and just take the highest out of the pool for your roll. So, it's still possible for a callow youth to beat a grizzled master, it's just vanishingly unlikely unless they really stack the deck.
The benefit of being built from the ground-up as a point-buy system means that abilites with different usefulness have different costs. Beginning with magic will use up most of a starting characer's capabilities, for example, and since the system of Dungeons and Dragons and derived games has historically focused on exploration and combat, abilities dealing with that aspect can cost more than abilities dealing with, say, underwater basketweaving.
The problem comes in with the way it deals with--and doesn't deal with--the costs. One of the major problems it inherits from d20 games is the primacy of spellcasters. If you look at the Table of Contents, you'll notice quite quickly that the vast majority of the book is devoted to spells--pages 42-164 out of 178 (the last portion of the book is an appendix and charts). The vast majority of the book is completely useless to anyone who doesn't use magic, and the sample characters reflect this: out of 8 sample characters, 7 of them can use magic of some sort.
Furthermore, the point-buy system completely breaks down when dealing with magic because new spells don't cost any points at all. That means that wizards and priests can rapidly gain utility and combat effectiveness faster than non-magicians. Here's the math:
Take a character who wants to be the best warrior ever with a longsword. Here's what she buys.
Weapon Mastery Grade V, Class E: 30 points
Multiple Attacks Grade IV, Class E: 26 points
Parrying, Class E: 4 points
Quick Draw: 3 points
Greatstrike, Class E: 6 points
Critical Hit, Class E: 6 poines
Disarm, Class E: 5 points
Counterattack, Class E: 5 points
Feint: 4 points
Evasion: 5 points
Armor Use, Grade V: 30 points
Advanced Counterattack: 8 points
Calculated Strike: 6 points
Increased Accuracy, Grade V: 45 points
Rush, Class E: 5 points
Stunning Blow, Class E: 3 points
Vital Strike, Class E: 20 points
Whirlwind Attack, Class E: 6 points
Health Point: 10 points (1 per level)
Split Attacks, Class E: 4 points
Total: 231 points
Now take the hermetic wizard. Here's what he buys:
Hermetic Magic Potential: 17 points
Magic Potency, Grade V: 30 points
Spell Circle (Hermetic), Grade VIII: 91 points
Additional spells for max Circle: 19 points
Extra Spell, Grade VIII: 44 points
Combat Casting: 5 points
Silent Casting, Grade V: 30 points
Total: 236 points
So it costs the wizard 236 points to gain all the relevant magic powers, and the warrior 231 points to gain all the relevant combat powers with her sword. I've left off stuff they'd probably both want to buy, like Improved Initiative, Improved Dodge, Increased Resistance, Increased Attribute, or proficiencies. And yes, it costs the wizard more points, but for spending all those points, the wizard's capabilites include "know anything" and "do anything"--literally, through the spells Cognizance and Change, respectively. The warrior's abilities include "longswording better than everyone else," which is pretty nice, but doesn't help against armies, flying enemies, or enemies who can teleport, or remove the warrior's sword, or fill the room full of water, etc.
There are actually multiple types of magic, if I haven't been clear about that. The wizard-like Hermetic magic, cleric-like Faith magic, illusionist Hedge magic, and sacrifice-based or druidic Ritual magic. The first two have eight levels of spells, and the second two have only five. But all of them have the problem that they don't charge any skill points to learn new spells.
It's basically the same problem as d20 where things start off okay, but due to LFQW, the longer the game goes on, the farther ahead the wizard pulls until eventually the fighters might as well just go home. Not that it matters, because the wizard's summoned monsters can just take the fighter's place anyway.
Normally, this wouldn't matter in a point-buy system, but not charging for spells means the point costs are inherently screwed up. Standard D&D magic that starts at "throwing magic missiles" and ends with "do anything" really needs to be appropriately priced in order to actually make sense in a point-buy context, otherwise you end up with each point spent not actually being equal--buying magic gets you more bang for your buck.
There's always the solution the sample characters took, which is to just knuckle under and become wizards or priests, but that's hardly satisfying.
Wayfarers could have been an excellent alternative to class and level-based Dungeons and Dragons for people like myself who prefer skill-based systems, but unfortunately, the assumptions behind the costs means I can't recommend it. It's excellent for inspiration to build your own point-based D&D, but unless you like caster supremacy or have a group that's amiable enough to get along and has enough system mastery that they won't accidentally stumble into an Angel Summoner and BMX Bandit situation, don't run it as written.

Salvage Rights starts with those funny, friendly little Pentapods and then tells you about things like Bishops, kernels and Dark Gods. Brr. Who needs Ka(e)fers with these guys on the doorstep?
Although the weather is just as unpleasant as the previous episode, this feels like quite a shift of pace.

2300AD: Salvage Rights
Megan R.
[Featured Reviewer]
Date Added: 07/03/2013 11:33:11
This is an exciting adventure that provides plenty of scope for investigation, combat and exploration. It leads on from the adventure Rescue Run and will not make quite so much sense - or provide real reasons for the characters to bother getting involved - if you have not already played it.
As the name suggests, it is based around the concept of salvage as understood by different species. You or I - and likely your party - think of it as discovering and retrieving something that is no longer operational but still has value (either to its original owners or as scrap). Aliens may hold a different opinion as to what salvage is and how to go about it... and the characters will have to come to grips with this as, shall we say, they are not the only folks interested in their target.
There's plenty of less-cerebral action too, including a terrorist raid to fend off! Everything is well-resourced, with maps and background information a-plenty to help you make the various scenes of the adventure come to life. However, the clue chain is fragile and you will need to take care that the characters are not left at a dead end if things go against them. Plenty of additional information too, the sort that will be useful time and time again - places that can be revisited and equipment that may become part of the characters' regular load-out, as well as quite deep background on alien thought and equipment and on the aforementioned terrorist group.
This should prove an exciting and memorable adventure.

For those as old in the RPG hobby as me... this is a GREAT product for Stormbringer. If you loved the ideas from Call of Cthulhu, and love the writings of Michael Moorcock... say hello to the ultimate fusion of both.... now you too can drive your sorcerer character mad, mad, mad. Why not enjoy the addition of a little extra madness to the Stormbringer setting?

The quality of the art is uneven, but with so many portraits, it's hard to fault the selection. My complaints are primarily about the presentation. The graphics are all loaded into a single PDF. The instructions for getting the pictures out are for a professional Adobe product. I tried using copy and paste in Adobe Reader, but the graphics are obscured by decorative rectangular frames and it is impossible. I tried to open the file in LibreOffice, but discovered that inexplicably, the file has password protection. The only way I have been able to get at the pictures is to use a screenshot, or use GIMP to import a JPEG, resulting in lower quality images with an unwanted border graphic. I rate this product poorly because it is almost impossible to use with any of a half dozen programs I have available to me to manipulate PDFs.

Rescue Run begins some new adventures as the start of Grendelssaga, which I'd probably call an adventure in three parts plus source material, considering the amount of action versus hints dropped in this instalment. It really brings to life some of those innocuous numbers like "length of day" and "orbital eccentricity", as well as the new edition's elements like DNAMs and Pentapod weirdness.

I am a publisher so I usually never write a review.
This is an awesome adventure and is one of the best designed sandbox games I have ever run for any level of play much less high levels of play. The Npcs in this book and their relationships with each other are just amazing. I recommend this to anyone who enjoys good game design. I especially love the breakdown of factions and how they relate to each other, all done quite simply with in character quotes, just brilliant.
The planer worlds you visit in this campaign are all incredibly interesting and compelling. I hope one day Mongoose will do a kickstarter to do a high quality production version of this for pathfinder with the Mythic Rules when they come out.

Lawsuit seeks to block Wachovia deal
Shareholders who oppose Wachovia's purchase have filed a class-action lawsuit to block Wells Fargo's impending purchase of the bank.
A judge in Charlotte, N.C., is to hear the lawsuit Monday. The suit claims Wells Fargo is not offering a fair price for the troubled bank, The Charlotte (N.C.) Observer reported Sunday.
The shareholders want to force Wells Fargo to pay more for Wachovia than what the bank's stock was trading at last year.
Although Wells Fargo needs the approval of Wachovia's shareholders to make the purchase, the ballot is nearly cinched because Wells Fargo controls nearly 40 percent of the Wachovia shareholder vote.
Wachovia is Charlotte's second-largest employer, with 20,000 local workers, the newspaper said.
Local resident John Moore, a shareholder activist who is often critical of management at Wachovia's annual meetings, said he will vote against the deal because of the potential job losses.
It's about protecting people, said Moore, 72, whose family owns about 200,000 shares of the bank.

Curiosity Rover Test Image
August 2, 2012
This close-up view of a stone found in San Diego was taken by a testing twin -- the "life test unit" -- of the Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI) camera for NASA's Mars Science Laboratory. The image covers a patch of rock surface about 4 centimeters (1.6 inches) wide, with the shadow of the camera falling across part of the photographed area. As a demonstration of how MAHLI's adjustable focus may be used on Mars, this image can be compared with PIA13583, taken from farther enough away to see this entire rock and three others. The inscribed rectangle on Fig. 1 indicates the portion of the rock covered in the close-up view. MAHLI is mounted at the end of the robotic arm on the Mars Science Laboratory mission's Curiosity rover. By placing the camera at different distances from a target, researchers can obtain images showing broader context as well as finer detail. This image was taken outside, under natural sunlight. The shadowing was intentional to assess the effect of sunlight and shadow on the acquisition and processing of MAHLI images. The rock is gray rhyolite. Though collected in California, it originated in a volcanic eruption in Mexico. Malin Space Science Systems, San Diego, supplied MAHLI for the Mars Science Laboratory mission, which is managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena.

France's 'Black Widow' goes on trial for murder
Published on Apr 13, 2014 10:01 AM
GRENOBLE, France (AFP) - A woman dubbed the "Black Widow" of the French Alps goes on trial Monday for the murder of her husband, a case with troubling echoes of how four of her previous partners were poisoned, two of them fatally.
Manuela Gonzalez, 53, is accused of the 2008 murder of Daniel Cano, a 58-year-old metal worker whose charred remains were found in the back of his burnt-out car near the house he shared with her in Villard-Bonnot in the Isere region of the Alps.
Police quickly established that the fire had been started deliberately, that Mr Cano had consumed sleeping pills and that there had been tensions between the couple, both of whom were keen gamblers.
It subsequently emerged that Gonzalez had, without consulting her husband, re-mortgaged their house for 165,000 euros (S$286,000), and that, a month before his death, there had been a fire in Mr Cano's bedroom while he was sleeping alone.

Todd Coffey is on too. The show is on channel 9 for the locals.
Had some good takes
Narron on Milton and Wilson, said theyre already in spring training in Florida.
Narron on Bailey, said he saw him for one day in the Florida league, he can get big league hitters out, thought he could probably make the team if given the chance in spring training but manangement wants him to concentrate on being consistent in the minors since he's only a 1 1/2 years from high school.
Narron on new owner and GM, said he will know in a couple of weeks his status with the team, thinks he can get along with anyone and that the new owner reminds him of when he was in Boston when the urgency of winning was everything.
Poppo asked Coffey about how he handled it coming out of high school...he said youre not nowhere near being ready, said you can blow away high school guys but the higher you go you better have good off speed stuff.
Narron on Kearns and Dunn...said Kearns has been hurt and thats been his reason for the way he's played so far in his career. Dunn he talked about his hand and basically said the guy plays thru injuries.
Thanks for the rundown Ice

On March 7, 2013, the SEC proposed Regulation SCI ("Reg SCI"), which would replace existing voluntary standards applicable to securities exchanges, clearing agencies and certain other market participants with enforceable rules intended to better insulate trading markets from vulnerabilities posed by technology issues. Reg SCI addresses systems, compliance and integrity. The SEC believes the rule will protect investors and promote fair and orderly trading markets by assuring that all computer, network, electronic, technical, automated, or similar systems that impact trading markets (i) operate as intended, (ii) comply with all securities laws and regulations, and (iii) have adequate capacity, integrity, resiliency, availability, and security. The proposed rule targets those systems, whether in production, development, or testing, that directly support trading, clearance and settlement, order routing, market data, regulation, or surveillance. The rule would formalize, build upon, and make mandatory many provisions of the SEC's voluntary Automation Review Policy (ARP), which have developed since ARP's was first published in 1989.
As currently drafted, the proposal applies only to SCI Entities, defined specifically as: self-regulatory organizations (SROs), certain large volume alternative trading systems (i.e., dark pools and electronic communications networks, defined in the proposal as "ATSs"), plan processors, and exempt clearing agencies (of which there is presently only one). SCI Entity SROs include all national securities exchanges registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, registered securities associations, registered clearing agencies, and the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (MSRB). Most SROs have already been voluntarily following the ARP guidelines, with many also participating in the SEC's ARP Inspection Program. ATSs, however, were not covered by ARP. ATSs would become SCI Entities if they: (i) have NMS stock dollar volume comparable to SROs covered by proposed Regulation SCI or (ii) trade non-NMS stocks, municipal securities, and corporate debt securities and play a significant role in the market for such securities. SCI Entity "plan processors" would include any SRO or securities information processor acting as an exclusive processor in connection with the development, implementation and/or operation of any facility contemplated by an effective national market system (NMS) plan. The Commission is seeking comment on whether to extend the proposal's reach to other entities.

Ethnic issue, terror not to be mixed up
NEW DELHI: A day after the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam regretted the assassination of the former Prime Minister and Congress leader, Rajiv Gandhi, the party said it endorsed the stand of the Government, which rejected the statement.
"The Government has made a statement and we have nothing to add to it," Congress spokesperson Rajiv Shukla said at the regular party briefing.
"Too sensitive"
Sources said the issue was "too sensitive" and it was best left to the Government to take a view of the LTTE suggestion that India should put the past behind it.
Minister of State for External Affairs Anand Sharma rejected the Tamil rebel group's plea, saying the people of India could not forget the dastardly crime committed by the LTTE. He said forgiving the LTTE for the crime would "tantamount to endorsing the philosophy of terror, violence and political assassinations."
Mr. Sharma said the remarks by LTTE chief negotiator and ideologue Anton Balasingham were a "confession" by the rebel group of its "complicity" in Rajiv Gandhi's assassination, which was a "well-known fact." The LTTE cadres had been convicted in the case, he said.
For negotiated settlement
He said it was important that the ethnic issue and LTTE terror was not mixed up. India stood for a negotiated settlement, for peace and unity in Sri Lanka and the ethnic issue had to be resolved through talks and negations.

John Mac, perhaps you might consider heading on over to John Cooks excellent website where he has put together an incredibly comprehensive encyclopaedia of information addessing all aspects of climate science. There you'll be able to learn why scientists have long argued that global warming will cause climate to change in complex ways that include both more extreme and widespread droughts, and more extreme precipitation patterns. And you'll find that scientists have long warned that with with an energised atmosphere, we are more likely to see the paradox of extreme winter weather in some places and years interspersed with extreme summers. Or perhaps you have an explanation for why this cold northern winter occurred in a year where the average global temperature was at an all time high, and the arctic region itself is exceptionally hot. Check out Johns website. There is virtually no aspect of climate science (and for that matter climate skepticism) that he has not addressed, providing in the process detailed links to scientific studies and data.

Superb chalk grassland and scrub with many typical and rare flowers and butterflies, all within easy walking distance of Lewes town centre
The car park at Mill Road is closed for refurbishment until 9th February and the lay-by is also shut.
Stand almost anywhere in Lewes and Malling Down dominates the view to the east, its chalk hills towering up and overlooking the town. It really is worth the challenging climb to the top, if only for the view that takes in the town, the wet meadows surrounding the River Ouse, the South Downs stretching away, or the expanse of the Low Weald farmland. In summer however, there are a thousand things to command the attention.

Nearby Sussex Wildlife Trust nature reserves
Getting around
This reserve is easily reached on foot from Lewes town centre head east and there is a small entrance in Wheatsheaf Gardens opposite the petrol station, but there is no room to park cars here. Other access points are possible from Mill Road or the lay-by on the Ringmer Road. As there is grazing at different times of the year, there are fences, gates and stiles, and some paths are very steep. The gentlest route to the top is to approach from Mill Road.
Lewes-Ringmer Cycle Path Extention
East Sussex County Council made a start on a long-awaited extension to the Lewes-Ringmer cycle path at the beginning of October, and in the process will complete a key link between these two settlements. The Trust has supported this project throughout and, for example, has made some of its land available to enable construction to go ahead.
We expect construction to run until late January, during which time regrettably, the lay-by at the northern end of the reserve will be closed off. There is still access on foot through this point, but no space for cars. Once the project is completed, the lay-by will be re-surfaced and re-opened for use.
If you have any queries about the project, please contact Alan Cook at East Sussex County Council.
What you can see
Chalk grassland flowers. Many butterflies such as adonis, common and chalkhill blue. Fabulous views, peace and tranquillity.

LaValle offers the first five stories as a cross-section of New York-a series called "The Autobiography of New York Today." In "Slave," Rob, a child prostitute, stands on the corner in front of the Disney store in Times Square, playing his part in a system of brutality and loneliness. "Slave" begins with these words: "Rob eats pussy like a champ." This is not so much a shock as it is a tease. "He's on awful knees that should have been turned in months ago; they are now numb. He should be getting ready for school; tenth grade is usually the age of football teams and parttime work. She says- Don't stop, through those teeth so white Rob was sure they were caps when he met her in front of the Disney store in Times Square." The story is filtered through Rob's consciousness; he watches as the words he hears coalesce into a harsh description of life in the urban jungle.
For the characters in LaValle's world, the city is a prison that limits goals and stunts growth. The city itself becomes a character, one that never stops making its presence known-and one that turns its concrete back on its inhabitants. "When you're from the Bronx," the narrator of "Ghost Story" says, "the place isn't standing on its back, the whole borough lies on its side. And when the wind goes through there, you can't kid yourself, there are voices."
Sometimes LaValle's characters try to escape the pull of the city's downward spiral, but they are eventually drawn back. In "Trinidad," 10-year-old Anthony's mother sends him away from Flushing to Trinidad as "a punishment, as though I were banished." He finds liberation in Trinidad, though not for long: "In Trinidad I was another boy, not so quick to be venal and petty. I cared some. But when my mother arrived the reality that I would have to return was exhausting, made me panic." When Anthony falls in love with a young playmate, Malik ("My mother walked in on us rubbing each other on my tenth birthday"), his mother tells him, "I want you to promise me that you won't be Malik's friend anymore....I told her, It's nothing....Malik is just a faggot anyway." Like all of the stories in this volume, this one ends with an understated slap.
LaValle often describes the confusion of the city by way of teens' developing sexuality. In "Class Trip," the city threatens a young boy's sexual identity at the moment of sexual initiation. Three 10th-graders venture out from Queens to Manhattan to visit a prostitute: "Hookers, Willy said.... We are hopping on that train, heading out to Manhattan and everybody here is getting his dick sucked. No arguments." The boys finally meet a prostitute who will take schoolboys on, but when Anthony's turn comes, she robs him. "Why me?... I don't like your face, she said. You just don't look good." This whore's put-down turns out to be much more frightening than being robbed. Later, Anthony finds his girlfriend and asks her: "Am I ugly?... You? she put her face against my neck. She tried to tickle me but neither of us was laughing. On the street, traffic was still a thriving business; the sky was purple and lost." LaValle's urban world is a tough one, and not least because it forces his characters to deal with messy, disturbing emotions and contradictions.
LaValle, like James Joyce, whom he quotes, uses a simple dash instead of quotation marks to indicate who is speaking, bringing the reader simultaneously within the characters' inner world and their external reality. While this technique fuses the internal thoughts of his characters with their dialogue in surprising ways, the reader is sometimes confused as to who is speaking. Nevertheless, LaValle's work is first-rate and it reminds us that by accepting our ugliness, our imperfections, we have a chance to become beautiful. "People who shut their eyes to reality simply invite their own destruction," James Baldwin wrote. LaValle does not mean for us to invite our own destruction. No, he means for us to survive.

Starting June 2015, I'll be joining the Centre for Applied Philosophy and Public Ethics as a Research Fellow in Applied Philosophy. I'm currently a member of Northwestern University's Philosophy Department, where I'm serving as a postdoctoral researcher for their Mellon Sawyer Seminar entitled Theoretical Issues in Social Epistemology. Before coming to NU, I was a member of the Philosophy Department at the University of Colorado - Boulder, where I served as an Instructor and as the Faculty Teaching Mentor for the Graduate Instructors. I earned my PhD in Philosophy from the University of Wisconsin - Madison. My dissertation, which I wrote under the supervision of Elliott Sober (Chair), Dan Hausman, Michael Titelbaum, and Peter Vranas, was on the topic of group rationality.
I am mainly interested in the problems that social phenomena cause for scientists and philosophers. For example, I am interested in the relationship between group rationality and individual rationality, the epistemic significance of disagreement, the difficulties for testing hypotheses in the social sciences, the effects of employing economic models in collective action problems like climate change, the impact of social structures on biological notions such as race, and the ethical considerations surrounding how race is used in science and society.

iTunes 10 deleted my library. How do I get it back (I have time machine)
I just updated my iTunes but it appears it deleted my library. This sucks because I have spent HOURS upon HOURS sorting it, renaming crooked song titles, finding covers and all that stuff. I used time machine to back up my computer like 5 days ago, but I can't figure out how to use it. I wish I could just select that given day (when I made my last backup) and make it turn everything back to what it was back then.
How do I do this exactly? I don't care at all if I have to go back to the old iTunes (obviously they will fix this eventually!) - I just want it to look like it did a few days ago.
Please help!
|Sep 6, 2010, 01:23 AM
I will take a stab at this. I would think that your changes would have been made to the files themselves. Try dragging and dropping a folder with media into the new Itunes library and see what happens.

Alright I'll try when I get back home. But I guess I will have to select most album covers again. I have a lot of albums that iTunes cannot find the cover for so I did it myself. Isn't it possible to just restore my whole computer to a few days ago with time machine? Its also a pain that I've lost my playlists
|Sep 6, 2010, 01:29 PM
well it only saved the information I had typed in (album name for instance) on some files. I really want to get my old stuff back. I don't care at all if I use iTunes 9 or 10 to be honest. Can anyone please help me out? Like I said I should have whatever I need since I took a time machine backup a few days ago.
|Sep 7, 2010, 01:23 PM
Thanks guys. Great stuff, great stuff..
if I open Time Machine, go to Music folder and locate my iTunes folder, does that folder then contain EVERYTHING I had in my library prior to this awesome glitch? If so I wanna restore the iTunes folder and drag it into iTunes hoping that will work. If that doesn't work I don't know what the hell I'm gonna do. It'll be hours upon hours of work down the sink
|Sep 7, 2010, 02:49 PM
Excellent reason for having both a clone (CCC or SuperDuper) AND Time Machine. With a clone you can just copy it back.

Thanks for the Timemachine 101!
As for why I think it deleted my library, well, I figured it out. I was kinda slow on this one I guess, but I have some stressful days
See I installed iTunes 10, opened it to check the changes but I noticed I had no content at all in there. Then I tried dragging an album from my Music folder into iTunes to see if it had saved my changes to it (album name was incorrect originally) to see that it was only saved on some of the tracks.
THEN a few days ago I was thinking how stupid can I be, located the iTunes folder and dragged the whole thing into iTunes. Only thing that was different was that some albums werent in a "group" if you will. Like if I have 20 Nas songs from various mixtapes and such, I will always edit the album name to "Nas" to keep them together on one album. But now they appear as 20 albums (I can see that in cover flow cause there are 20 pics of the same Nas image I use as cover), but all you gotta do is mark them, right click, info and select to save them as one group/album.
So its all good now I did google right away when it happened and I saw other people having trouble with iTunes 10 too

To clone a drive means to make a bootable copy. CCC and SuperDuper make a bootable clone of your boot disk on an external HD. I'm very fond of this as it makes it super easy to switch back if you get a bad update or do something really stupid. I have an external HD that contains a SuperDuper clone. Before running software update or installing new software I refresh the clone HD then run the update. If the install or update produces a mess or doesn't work I can boot from the clone and recover a great deal faster than you could with either re-install or time machine restore.
|Sep 12, 2010, 11:18 AM
Agree with the clone backup advice. I have an iTunes library of 120GB ripped from CD's I have owned. So for me, I also keep off site clones + backups to be safe.
The bootable backup can be very important. Recommend you think about this for the future by just buying a small drive. I bought 40GB SSD's for this which were from OWC and they are fast as heck. I liked them so much I now use them as my normal drive #1 (in addition to having an identical backup) and use either platter drives or other SSD's for the #2 drive in my 2009 and 2010 client minis as opposed to the server mini which already comes with 2 drives. Just thought I'd mention this in case you did not know those differences.

Apples own "Disc Utility" located in your
Utilities folder also makes Bootable clones.
You may or may not find CCC or SD easier
to use than Disc Utility.

that sounds really cool actually. I will definitely look into that. But since it clones everything, doesn't that mean I should have an external HD with the same amount of space as my Mac?
|Sep 14, 2010, 04:33 AM
Many people get a very large external HD and partition it. One
partition for your Time Machine and maybe several more partitions
for several more clones. I had a problem a while back and my oldest
clone which was clone #4 was the one I ended up using. My advice is
get the biggest and fastest HD you can afford.

I got a Voyager Q from OWC in FW800. You just insert any drive (2.5 or 3.5) into the top of it and go do your thing. Then when finished just pull it out and label/date it. It makes all this backup sooooo easy, and due to this, I tend to backup more regularly than I did before getting it, which has to be a good thing.
|Sep 14, 2010, 12:08 PM
A docking station is a wonderful idea.
Thermaltake makes several Docks that
are typically less expensive than OWC's
well made Docks. I picked up a referb
from Thermaltake for less than $20.00.
The version I bought is USB only but
I use it for quick, down and dirty things.
Get on their mailing list. If your intention
is to boot from your Dock on a regular
basis then the OWC is the way to go.

"upgrade" to iTunes deletes entire music library
The same thing happened to me when I made the obvious mistake of "upgrading" to iTunes 10. Not only that, when I plugged in my iPod, it deleted all the songs from my iPod. If this is an "upgrade", then I'd hate to see what happens when somebody is out to undermine the product.
I just updated my iTunes but it appears it deleted my library. This sucks because I have spent HOURS upon HOURS sorting it, renaming crooked song titles, finding covers and all that stuff. I used time machine to back up my computer like 5 days ago, but I can't figure out how to use it.

Philippine rescuers race to help typhoon-hit towns
MANILA, Philippines—Philippine rescuers searched isolated towns devastated by deadly Typhoon Utor (Labuyo) on Tuesday as barefoot children stood among ruined homes, but early preparations appeared to have avoided mass casualties.
The government said four people had been confirmed killed and 11 were missing after Utor, the strongest storm this year, swept across the north of the country on Monday.
"Trees have fallen down, roofs have been torn off houses, electric poles and electric towers have collapsed," civil defense office spokesman Reynaldo Balido said, describing chaos from coastal towns to mountain villages hundreds of kilometres apart.
The typhoon hit land in Casiguran, leaving the town of 25,000 largely destroyed but with relatively few casualties, said Eduardo del Rosario, head of the government's National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council.
First television footage of the impact there showed barefoot children standing expressionless among broken furniture in the flattened remains of their house.
The footage, taken by an ABS-CBN crew who joined Del Rosario on a brief visit, showed roofs blown off entire neighborhoods with some homes reduced to rubble. Other buildings had windows blown out.
A huge gap showed where a bridge used to span a river, and groves of coconut trees were shorn of their leaves and fruit.
Del Rosario said two out-of-town fishermen who had sought shelter in Casiguran had been killed, while several locals were treated for cuts and other minor injuries.
"They were told to seek shelter in the evacuation centers, but instead these two fishermen slept in their boat. In the morning they were found dead," he told a news conference.
A man drowned and another was buried by a landslide elsewhere on Luzon island, while 11 were missing after the typhoon struck, the disaster agency added.
Soldiers clambered over landslide-choked roads to reach Casiguran and nearby areas on foot Tuesday. The highway to Casiguran should reopen on Wednesday after bulldozers were used to remove landslides and fallen trees, said provincial disaster official Elson Egargue.
Residents reported no major casualties, according to local military spokesman Major Ernesto Garcia, adding troops were already clearing roads and distributing relief.
The Philippines is one of the world's most vulnerable countries to typhoons. Storms often make their first landfall there after they form over the Pacific Ocean and move west.
Hundreds of people die from the roughly 20 typhoons or tropical storms that strike the country each year.
Utor hit land with wind gusts reaching 200 kilometers (125 miles) an hour early Monday, making it the strongest storm this year, according to the weather bureau.
Well prepared
Joe Curry, country chief of the aid group Catholic Relief Services, and others involved in the rescue said the death toll may be lower than feared because residents were well prepared.
"I think people are agreeing that these places have been hit many times before, so they know how to deal with typhoons. The flood damage is less than it has been before," Curry said.
Philippine National Red Cross secretary-general Gwendolyn Pang told AFP that people in the worst-hit areas were typhoon veterans.
"They know how to prepare, they know how to check for early warning signs like flood levels," she said.
Nevertheless, more than 30,000 people were in temporary shelters on Tuesday after Utor destroyed more than 2,000 homes, the civil defense office said.
Of the 11 people listed as missing, one was a woman filmed by a television crew as she stood crying for help atop her house that was swept away by a swollen river.
"The community was evacuated before the onslaught of the typhoon but she refused to be evacuated," said Norma Talosig, civil defense chief for the area.
On Tuesday night Utor was in the South China Sea tracking toward southern China, according to the Hong Kong Observatory.
Waves as high as 11 meters (36 feet) were expected in the north of the South China Sea from Tuesday night into Wednesday, China's National Marine Environmental Forecasting Center said, according to state news agency Xinhua.
Working teams had also been requested to direct disaster prevention efforts in Guangdong province, where the typhoon is expected to make landfall between Wednesday evening and Thursday morning, Xinhua reported.
Winds up to 98 kilometer (60 miles) per hour hit Hong Kong in the early hours of Wednesday as Utor centered 300 km southwest of the city, according to the observatory, and a Number 8 storm signal was raised.—Cecil Morella
