text: on Jul 14, 2013 @ 10:33 PMJul 14, 2013 @ 10:33 PM Published Top Putin foe awaits explosive fraud trial verdictRussian protest leader Alexei Navalny on Thursday hears the verdict in his trial on embezzlement charges which could see one of the top foes of President Vladimir Putin eliminated from politics and jailed for up to six years.Navalny, who rose to prominence in Russia with a blog exposing corruption, insists that the charges of embezzling timber while he worked as an unpaid advisor to the northern Kirov region have been fabricated to punish him for daring to challenge Putin.The father of two, 37, says he expects to be convicted by judge Sergei Blinov, who has not handed down a single acquittal in his judicial career. The only doubt is whether he will be given a suspended term or sent to jail."I am ready for any verdict," Navalny told Moscow Echo Radio in an interview ahead of the hearing."I understand that it will be a guilty verdict. There is just this curious alternative -- either a suspended sentence from the fabricated case or a prison term from the fabricated case."The verdict comes as Navalny campaigns against ruling party incumbent Sergei Sobyanin to become mayor of Moscow in elections on September 8, his first crack at winning high office.But any conviction, including a suspended term, would mean Navalny could not run and his supporters have argued that the unusually fast-tracked trial that only started in April is aimed at ensuring he does not take part.Blinov will read out the verdict in the small provincial courthouse in Kirov, a usually sleepy outpost 600 kilometres from Moscow which is expected to be swarmed by journalists and Navalny supporters on Thursday, with flights and hotels booked out.A high security presence is expected there and in Moscow, with supporters warning of protests should there be a guilty verdict.The trial against Navalny -- who also faces several other probes yet to come to court -- is seen by the opposition as part of Putin's crackdown on the opposition since he returned to the Kremlin for a third term in May 2012.-- 'Navalny is someone like you' --Navalny's streetwise rhetoric and populist charisma meant he emerged as the most effective of the opposition leaders who led the unprecedented protests against Putin that broke out in December 2011.The protests have now died down but Navalny has boldly stated he wants to challenge Putin in the next presidential elections in 2018 and has shown no fear in making the most powerful enemies.He coined the catchy phrase "party of crooks and thieves" to describe the ruling United Russia party and speaks the slang-tinted language of ordinary people rather than officials.In typical style, Navalny last week turned the filing of his papers for the mayoral elections into a theatrical event, joined by hundreds of supporters with whom he raucously chanted "one for all and all for one!".Prosecutors have called for a six-year prison colony sentence and one million ruble ($30,000) fine for Navalny for conspiring to steal 10,000 cubic metres of timber.In a closing statement to the court that sounded as much a campaign speech as a legal argument, Navalny denounced the charges as absurd and pledged that he would "destroy the feudal system in Russia".Even some within the opposition have criticised Navalny for his sometimes nationalist rhetoric, lacking a clear vision for the country beyond cracking down on corruption and bluntly vowing to jail opponents should he win power."I am sure that sooner or later I will have them jailed," he told Moscow Echo.Navalny still has a huge challenge to win nationwide recognition beyond his powerbase in Moscow, where he has become a hero for many in the Internet-savvy middle class who yearn to live in a different Russia.Seeking to present himself as an ordinary guy, Navalny lives with his wife Yulia -- who has become an increasingly visible presence at his side -- in a humdrum and otherwise unremarkable Moscow suburb called Maryino."Navalny is someone like you - he is not someone backed by oligarchs and bureaucrats," says his campaign literature for the mayoral elections. "Let's change Russia, starting with Moscow."sjw/yad

REDWOOD SHORES, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 11/26/12 -- Oracle (NASDAQ: ORCL)
News Facts
- Recognizing the innovative solutions and business achievements of its customers, Oracle today announced the recipients of its 2012 Engineering and Construction Industry Excellence Awards, presented at Oracle OpenWorld San Francisco.
- The awards recognize the achievements of an engineering and construction company from two distinct geographic regions:
- North America - Mortenson Construction
- Asia Pacific - CISDI Group
North America - Mortenson Construction
- Mortenson Construction, ranked 19th on Engineering News Record's Top 400 Contractors list, wanted to improve collaboration across diverse and geographically dispersed clients, project teams and design partners.
- Focused on this goal, Mortenson created ProjectConnect, a collaboration portal for the owner, construction manager, architect and subcontractors as part of Mortenson's integrated project delivery process. It is a browser and mobile-device-agnostic collaboration platform that provides 24/7 access to project content.
- The web-based tool -- built on Oracle Universal Content Management, Oracle Enterprise Single Sign On and Oracle WebCenter Portal -- provides team members, including asset owners, project managers, designers, engineers, contractors, and other project stakeholders, with convenient, but secure, real-time access to critical project documentation and applications.
- Using the portal, teams can access engineering documents, correspondence, change orders, revised plans, reports and other business-critical documents. Users also can seamlessly and securely share information to maintain clear visibility into project progress.
- The solution had to be intuitive to minimize internal training and decrease implementation time, while effectively leveraging project information management processes such as progress milestone tracking, subcontractor performance reporting, financial forecasting and other project performance metric tools.
- ProjectConnect is driving time savings across the organization and projects allowing project team members to work from any location and enabling them to retrieve, edit and upload revised documents to the portal while in the field. Further, instantaneous access to updated documents and plans through a single repository reduces version control issues and potential errors and rework.
- "The development of ProjectConnect was made possible by the excellent collaboration of the project team, industry-leading software tools, and Oracle's commitment to helping us develop a world-class product," said Cole Orndorff, vice president and chief information officer at Mortenson Construction.
Asia Pacific - CISDI Group
- CISDI Group, a China state-owned engineering company that offers consulting services, engineering design and comprehensive plant planning for the metallurgical industry, looked to expand its global reach, offer more online services to the engineering and construction industries and iron and steel customers and improve profit margins.
- The company used Oracle Exadata Database Machine and Oracle ExaLogic as the foundation for "CISDI Cloud," which the group anticipates will drive significant improvements in internal business operations, design service availability and data security.
- Additionally, CISDI Group projects significant cost savings as a result of the implementation's centralized information technology operations.
- In the near future, the organization also will use the platform to offer public cloud services and host project management, supply chain, content management applications and CAE services on behalf of its clients around the globe.
Supporting Quote
- "The engineering and construction industry is facing a series of complex challenges, including pressure to build more quickly and efficiently, while improving profit margins and mitigating errors," said Scott Bartlett, director of engineering and construction industry strategy, Oracle. "Mortenson Construction and CISDI Group are leading the industry in realizing the next-generation of construction with Oracle's comprehensive solutions, which help organizations to enable new avenues for secure collaboration as well as project management."

Help sought to nab cop impersonators in W.Va.
Department receives complaints about men posing as police officers searching cars
By Zack Pettit,
The Charleston Daily Mail
CHARLESTON, W.Va. — The Charleston Police Department is asking for help to track down people who are accused of impersonating police officers on the East End.
The department's Special Enforcement Unit has recently received complaints about several men who are identifying themselves as officers, Sgt. Aaron James, assistant chief of detectives, said in a press release.
The suspects use "convincing language" in trying to pass themselves off as police, but they don't show any identification or firearms, the press release said.

Google Insights for Search is not only a great tool for understanding search term volumes, but also for understanding where the economy is going. And if you compare the search volume for the keyword "gift" to years past, the trends suggest internet retailers may be in for a slower holiday season:
When overlaying years on top of each other, GIS does not appear to scale the years to January 1 or anything like that – some keyword trends that are zooming up are reflected in the years clearly showing up above each other in progression, and some that are dropping also show years appearing successively below each other (try "dial-up internet" for a good example). The term "gift", which one would think would be representative of holiday sales, has been below previous years in the last week or so.
Brand terms of diamond retailers with significant sales volume, like "Blue Nile" and "Tiffany" also have lower search volume on Google recently than in the last several years, as does the perennially popular Christmas gift term "digital camera".
If you project the blue line for "gift" forward, it suggests searches for this term in 2009 could potentially come in significantly below 2008's volume (on the order of 5-10%). It will be interesting to see what these graphs look like after Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday.

Even the most sophisticated anti-theft features are ineffectual when used by a security safe with a weak foundation.
The first line of defense for any security safe's construction is its door and walls. One substantially thick steel door and five thick steel walls are the only fundamental means of preventing a determined criminal from gaining entrance. Through clever and immoral marketing, safe builders have mastered the ability to bury this plain and simple truth in a barrage of technical terminology and captivating graphs.
Wall and Door thickness cuts to the core of a high security safes construction and core ability to protect. This should always be your number one concern when deciding on any safe.
Below you'll find a summary of industry recognized safe steel thickness ratings and the level of real world protection you should expect from each.
When you buy a safe, you're entrusting the manufacturer of that safe with the most precious items you possess. You're putting your faith in the builder that their claims of protection are true, that the safe you're purchasing will adequately protect your cherished items to the best of that manufacturer's ability. Those who routinely fabricate and sell these imposter safes do more than a disservice, they are committing the ultimate industry sin by abusing the buyers trust and exposing them to potential pain and heartache. Brown Safe has never, nor will we ever engage in this practice and we are disgraced by those who do. We take great pride in producing the most rugged safes in the industry. We build every safe by hand in our U.S. factory.
For your own peace of mind, I highly recommend you spend the time to research prior to purchase as the market is riddled with inferior units. While outrageously inexpensive or imported safes are a true cause for suspicion, high price luxury safes can be just as insecure as their cost cutting counterparts. A very good starting point for safe research is right here in our Safe Buying Guide section. Once you've familiarized yourself with safes and their protection levels, you'll understand why the flagship safe produced by the majority of manufacturers is where our base unit begins.
False Security Safe Construction Ratings
No Recognized Rating - Nearly half of all top selling safe brands fall into this category.
The only rating they bear, if any, is based on a system the manufacturer creates on their own that has no correlation to any industry recognized standard. This is an avoidance tactic used to mask safes that provide an unacceptable level of protection. Avoid these safes.
Theft Resistant - This rating simply acknowledges that the safe has a lock on it, no other protection level is guaranteed or implied. This type of safe construction provides roughly the same level of protection as a locked file cabinet, which can also carry this same rating.
RSC (Residential Security Container)(TL-5) Rating - This is a UL rated container that certifies the "safe" is capable of withstanding a beating by one man wielding a screwdriver and a small hammer (that can weigh no more than 3 pounds) for up to five minutes.
Another way of putting it...One man armed with only a hammer and screwdriver can generally gain access to these home security safes in just over five minutes. Safes bearing this rating make up the remaining half of top selling safe brands, with very few exceptions. Do not put anything of value in these safes.
"Safes" or containers of this type tend to list their steel thickness by gauge. Common gauges range from 10 to 20.
Due to the high cost of steel, many of these same companies will combine the measurement of their steel plating thickness with the thickness of their drywall fireproofing panels, reporting one combined measurement in a manner that intentionally sways the uninformed buyer into assuming the quoted wall or door thickness is all solid steel or a similar protective material. This one underhanded trick has met with such resounding success it has been adopted in various forms by nearly every major safe builder. The easiest way to spot these counterfeit safes when uncertain about the reported steel plating thickness is to check the safes weight. A 60 inch tall false safe will weigh between 300 and 800 lbs. with fire protection. True security safes of this size start at 600 lbs. without fire protection and jump up into the 1500+ pound range with fire protection.
True Security Safe Construction Ratings
Class B Rating - Weighing in at 2 to 4 times the mass of an RSC safe, Class B security safes are a vast step up in protection. A Class B high security safe is equipped with a 1/2 inch solid steel door and 1/4 inch solid steel walls on all 5 sides. At its core, this is a safe with a substantial foundation, one capable of easily resisting hours of brute force abuse by amateur criminals. These safes will generally be capable of withstanding entry attempts by semi-skilled criminals for an hour or more depending largely on the types of tools used to attempt entry.
Security safes outfitted with additional burglary countermeasures will withstand even skilled attackers for sustained periods.
Class C Rating - Double the weight of a Class B with double the steel thickness all around. Class C security safes are yet another major upgrade in protection with a 1" steel door and a 1/2" steel body. A Class C security vault provides roughly double the penetration protection and tend to have roughly the same amount of added burglary countermeasures as class B rated security safes.
TL-15 Rating - Now this is where things start to get interesting. The class E's start off with an impressive 1 1/2 inch solid steel door, a 1 inch body and a weight average that is 3 times the mass of a Class B.
With fire cladding, a midsized Class E home security safe weighs as much as a midsized car... making these safes extremely difficult to haul out of homes on the sly. These safes can easily withstand any manner of attacks by amateur and semi-trained burglars for a far longer time than the criminal has time for.
But as impressively tough as a Class E is, their TL-15 rating means that an assisted seasoned safecracker with intimate knowledge of the inner working of the safe and safe specific tools can gain entrance to the safe in as little as 16 minutes, though usually much longer. If the contents of your safe are important enough to give you cause to believe this type of person may someday be attempting access to your safe with more than 15 minutes of time on their hands, you'll want to step up to even higher protection ratings.
TL-30 rating - These security vaults have been tested to withstand attack for at least 30 minutes by a group of professional safecrackers armed with blueprints of the safe using the full gamut of tools and attack methods.
The steel on Class F security safes often incorporates additional layers of varying metal aimed at further slowing entry attempts. In addition, Class F high security safes commonly employ additional features to further slow down professional attackers. A whole array of measures and counter-measures come into play at this level of the safe vs. safecracker game and safe builder defense methods vary widely in their approach and design.
Class M rating - The M rating is the highest non-custom security safe rating Brown Safe offers and one of the highest protection levels available anywhere. M rated security safes are currently only manufactured by Brown Safe. To learn more about this rating, click here.

JOONIE is an American Soul/R&B Artist and Musician.
Calvin "Joonie" Gary, Jr., better known by his stage name JOONIE is an American singer, songwriter, arranger and musician, specializing in Soul, R&B and Popular music. Born in Jacksonville, North Carolina into a musical family, where in addition to the musical influence of his parents, Gospel music and Soul music were always a part of his life.
Joonie and his family relocated to Seattle, Washington, when he was 12 years old. It was then, Joonie began his musical journey. He taught himself how to play the piano, guitar and other instruments, locking himself in his room for days practicing and creating music he wanted to hear.
As is the case with so many great Soul and R&B Artists, Joonie also began his vocal career singing and playing musical instruments in the church and performing in community choirs, school assemblies, where he won many talent competitions.
Although Joonie is an accomplished multi-octave range vocalist, and versatile musician; his goal was not to be a singer, he just wanted to be a songwriter. His break came along after he was forced to sing his own demos, because he could not find a vocalist to emote his songs the way he felt they should have been sung. A friend got Joonie's demo CD to rapper and producer Warren G, who helped Joonie secure his first label deal at the age of 21.[1]
Due to creative and ideological differences, layered with internal changes at the record label, Joonie walked away from the deal and Joonie took a hiatus from the music industry, where at one point; he says, he "almost lost his desire to create".[1]
For several years, Joonie stayed behind the scenes in music, writing, arranging, producing or playing instrumentals for other artists including, Elliott Yamin, Ruben Stoddard, Nappy Roots and creating unreleased collaborations with Angie Stone and Mos Def, but, after touring and performing with Elliott Yamin, on two worldwide tours, and seeing the audience reactions to Joonie's performances, Joonie knew he needed to step back into the forefront once again.
Also during this time, Joonie also worked on a number of film and television related projects including an appearance on "Lincoln Heights (TV Series)";[2] and was the Musical Director for the 2009 film, "I Do, I Did",[3] which also featured several of Joonie's songs, including "Sunshine", "Make it Last", "Delilah" and "Acoustic Love". The single "Sunshine" is a promotional single available on Joonie's websites, however, "Make it Last", "Delilah and "Acoustic Love" are featured on Joonie's 2010 "Acoustic Love" album.
"Acoustic Love", Joonie's debut album, released April 27, 2010 is a compilation of Contemporary R&B songs, performed by, as well as written and produced by Joonie. "Acoustic Love" expresses his feelings about love and relationships, explored from a very rare point of view in current popular music; one where romance exists, women, are valued and appreciated, a story is told and pure emotions are expressed set to perfect arrangements with infectious rhythms and uniquely void of misogynistic lyrics, so prevalent in today's urban music. His ability to tell a story in his songs without vulgar or derogatory language, as well as his classic Soulful sound has been praised by music critics and bloggers.
Genres: Soul, R&B, Nu-Soul, Pop, Contemporary Soul, and Contemporary R&B
"There's plenty of oversexed, underdeveloped "freak 'em songs" pumped through the airwaves — so it's refreshing to hear a new voice preserving the sexy of R&B with themes of true love with a smooth delivery like singer/songwriter, Calvin Gary, Jr. aka JOONIE." – Groovmnt.com [4]
"Joonie brings back the good old R&B/Soul. His first single 'So Fly' is proof of that and his album will blow you away. Joonie presents his freshman album, "ACOUSTIC LOVE," available on April 27, 2010. "ACOUSTIC LOVE" features 12 silky smooth tracks that highlight and expresses Joonie's feelings on love and relationships through true musicianship. Joonie, writes, arranges, produces and performs his own songs, a rarity in today's music space." – Music Remedy.com[5]
