Military security officials would get greater access to information about intrusions into contractor networks under the Defense Authorization bill that recently passed the House. (File photo)
The Defense authorization bill that passed the House of Representatives on June 14 seeks to give military security officials greater access to information about intrusions into the unclassified networks of contractors that maintain classified networks, and directs the Pentagon to develop a plan to report the presence of gear from Chinese companies Huawei and ZTE in the computer networks of military contractors.
These are requests for reviews contained in a committee report attached to the bill, but some in industry are worried that they augur a new policy direction when it comes to oversight of the corporate networks of military contractors. The report states, "the committee believes that intrusions on the unclassified networks of cleared contractors may be the very first indicator that a foreign entity is attempting to compromise or exploit cleared personnel, or to obtain illegal or unauthorized access to sensitive information and technology resident in the cleared industrial base," and that "there is insufficient governance, monitoring, and reporting of cyber attacks on the unclassified networks of the cleared contractors." Information gleaned from intrusions into unclassified networks could yield sensitive information to an attacker.
Committee Report
DSS Guidance
White House Policy Statement
On their face, the actions sought in the committee report are modest. The secretary of defense and the director of national intelligence are charged with the review of a key document that guides the efforts of the Defense Security Service to protect sensitive and classified information and technology to make sure that DSS is, "not being hampered by a lack of access to information regarding intrusions on the unclassified networks of cleared contractors," and report back to Congress on their findings.
The Obama administration has been seeking mandatory reporting of intrusions on private networks as part of its overall cybersecurity strategy, but so far it's been a non-starter legislatively. Scott Bousum, a senior manager for national security at the trade association TechAmerica, sees the language in the committee report as an effort to push these cybersecurity directives more narrowly to apply to cleared contractors. The problem, he said, is that new requirements would "cost billions of dollars" collectively in compliance for contractors. This would be felt especially keenly by companies that get only a small share of their revenue from defense contracts, Bousum said.
On the hardware side, the committee is also concerned that equipment manufactured by Huawei and ZTE, "could be could potentially be resident in the networks of cleared defense contractors," and wants the DSS to create a plan to "enhance awareness" of potential consequences arising the use of gear from firms with links to the Chinese government and military. An Armed Services Committee request in the FY 2013 Defense authorization bill led to the discovery and replacement of Chinese-made equipment in nuclear research facility at Los Alamos. A committee staffer told FCW, "we're just moving the search on to look at other parts of the system....This is not a witch hunt against anything made in China. These two companies are known bad actors."
The bill would have to pass in the Senate and be signed by the president for the committee report to take effect. President Obama has indicated he would veto the bill in its present form for a multitude of reasons, none having to do with contractor network cybersecurity or concerns about the IT supply chain.

BMC Cancer 2006, 6:131 doi:10.1186/1471-2407-6-131Published: 17 May 2006
Germline mutations in RET are responsible for multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN2), an autosomal dominantly inherited cancer syndrome that is characterized by medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), pheochromocytoma, and parathyroid hyperplasia/adenoma. Recent studies suggest a "second hit" mechanism resulting in amplification of mutant RET. Somatic VHL gene alterations are implicated in the pathogenesis of MEN2 pheochromocytomas. We hypothesized that somatic VHL gene alterations are also important in the pathogenesis of MEN2-associated MTC.
We analyzed 6 MTCs and 1 C-cell hyperplasia (CCH) specimen from 7 patients with MEN2A and RET germline mutations in codons 609, 618, 620, or 634, using microdissection, microsatellite analysis, phosphorimage densitometry, and VHL mutation analysis.
First, we searched for allelic imbalance between mutant and wild-type RET by using the polymorphic markers D10S677, D10S1239, and RET on thyroid tissue from these patients. Evidence for RET amplification by this technique could be demonstrated in 3 of 6 MTCs. We then performed LOH analysis using D3S1038 and D3S1110 which map to the VHL gene locus at 3p25/26. VHL gene deletion was present in 3 MTCs. These 3 MTCs also had an allelic imbalance between mutant and wild-type RET. Mutation analysis of the VHL gene showed a somatic frameshift mutation in 1 MTC that also demonstrated LOH at 3p25/26. In the 2 other MTCs with allelic imbalance of RET and somatic VHL gene deletion, no somatic VHL mutation could be detected. The CCH specimen did neither reveal RET imbalance nor somatic VHL gene alterations.
These data suggest that a RET germline mutation is necessary for development of CCH, that allelic imbalance between mutant and wild-type RET may set off tumorigenesis, and that somatic VHL gene alterations may not play a major role in tumorigenesis of MEN2A-associated MTC.

I've been in Santa Cruz County since 1981, designing and maintaining websites since 1996. You can be confident of my skills (yes, I'm delighted that your nephew builds websites, too!) because as a business owner myself, I want to help you grow your business. Melody Sharp Web Design has developed more than 125 sites–from standard HTML to WordPress CMS–but specializes in collaborating with smaller clients and nonprofits to give them a unique and successful online presence.
Bloated Servers Hurt Your Business
Many hosting company are getting bought out by big corporations and/or are just getting greedy. Add to that, it takes me three times as long to develop a WordPress site on GoDaddy because I have to wait for their bloated servers to respond. Yes, their customer service people are great; however, it's all about being visible online all the time.
Many developers are actually refusing to work on GoDaddy sites! I have a lot of nonprofit and small clients…so I understand why people don't want to have to "migrate" their sites to another hosting company. Yes, it's a pain. On the other hand, I've monitored many client websites and can prove that their sites go down for 20 minutes and longer. People won't be able to view your services if your site is down…so slowness and downtime can hurt your business. What to do?
Getting Mobile Friendly
Yes, we all need to be mobile friendly since people are moving from desktops to doing everything on their phone. And, of course, Google says your site won't show up in searches on mobile devices if it's not built for mobile.
Nice article link that explains the differences between Mobile Friendly, Mobile First, Responsive Design, Adaptive Design and Separate Mobile.
Getting Set Up With Google Local
Google has been working to make things easier for people who want to verify a local business on Google but that doesn't mean it isn't time consuming and frustrating! Add to that, when trying to help a client set up their local business, Google sets up all kinds of roadblocks in an effort to make sure they are communicating with the rightful owner.
To add your local business to Google My Business, you must have a mailing address and meet their quality guidelines. Local Google+ pages are designed for businesses that serve a particular locale. Local restaurants, hotels, dentists, hardware stores, plumbers, or repair shops, for example, are eligible to create a local page.
If you'd like to promote a brand, product, organization, or any other entity without an address, you should instead create a brand page. It's a four-step process.
You know your business best, so the most cost-effective method is to follow this link.
You will first need to get verified by Google
What is a verification code? Google verifies individual businesses primarily using one of two methods: phone verification or postcard verification. In each case, Google sends businesses a unique 5-6 digit verification code, either by postcard or over the phone, so that they can confirm the business owner's affiliation with this business. Once Google has verified that affiliation, you will be able to provide users with accurate, up-to-date business information. Each verification code sent is unique to your business account and the particular listing for which you're requesting verification.
If you choose to engage with a third party (like me and my colleagues) to help manage your business on Google, Google says you should not share your own verification code with us. Your code is unique to your business account and should only be used by that account. In order to share management of your business's listing with a trusted third party, follow these steps: Verify your listing and enter your verification code into the dashboard yourself; don't give your code to any third parties. Once you've completed verification, you can add a trusted third-party partner as a manager of your page. You may then choose to transfer ownership of the listing to that third-party.
To verify a local business on Google you need to navigate to Google My Business.
If you need my help, the best way is for us to arrange a phone chat (831-685-8318) so that you can follow the steps on your own computer and all the right emails are recognized within your software. Please email me with any questions or to set up a convenient time when we can set aside some quality time to take care of this.
What's all this about Google+ Authorship?
Perhaps you've heard that authorship is a big deal and Google Plus authorship is even more important? Like many things for WordPress clients, "There's a plugin for that!"
But, you do need to setup up a Google+ profile and plugin WP-Buddy author (wp-buddy) has given you step-by-step instructions for setting up your profile. Here's recap:
- Create a Google+ Profile (http://plus.google.com)
- Follow this link to open your Google+ profile: http://plus.google.com/me
- Copy your Profile-URL from the address bar to clipboard
- Go to your WordPress Admin Panel and click Users » Your Profile. Paste the above mentioned URL to the field where it says "Google Plus Author Link."
- Click Update Profile.
Need help? Let me know and I'll help you add that plugin. And, while we're in there, let's make sure WordPress and all other plugins are up to date.

So basically there are two confirmed female ISTP characters which i'm oddly attracted too, for superficial reasons mostly.
Loki isn't a girl.
Willow from Buffy is probably INTP.
Miranda Priestly (Devil Wears Prada) is commonly typed as INTJ (though I'm not well versed in the movie and cannot verify this claim with evidence). Personally, I would've seen her as ESTJ at first glance.
Jessie from Toy Story is probably ISTP? Haven't seen it in a while.
Edit: Violet Parr from the Incredibles is possibly INTP
Leia Organa-Solo is commonly typed as ESTJ/ENTJ
Ariadne from Inception (INTP).
Maybe River Tam from Firefly/Serenity?
Ramona Flowers from Scott Pilgrim.
Martha Jones (ISTJ?) from Doctor Who.
Some maybes:
Mai from Avatar TLA, possibly ISTP
Cheap shot: 7of9 ISTJ
Konata from Lucky Star, floats between ENTP/INTP
Trinity in the Matrix (not sure what...)
Ripley in Alien (Ti dom or Si dom in the first movie...)

On May 7th, I read a post on Renee's blog, Renee's Reflections, about her struggle with surrendering and it has been haunting me ever since! [In a good way, Renee!] As a result I have had to confront the idea of surrendering with the new parameters of now being in Phase III. [To understand my take on Phase III, you might want to read my post, T he Rubber Band Theory ].
In college, I discovered…
that I could overcome one aspect of the memory problems associated with CFIDS if I designed an acronym that I could memorize cold. I did this over and over in school. In one class, we had pages of information to regurgitate for a communication class and I was able to do it by creating a story using acronyms that tied to paragraphs of information I needed in order to answer questions on the exam. It worked so well, I got a 100% on the exam! I recall my professor being quiet impressed and even told me I was the only student to score a 100% on that particular exam. [The funny thing is, I never told her how impressed I was with myself either! I was stunned at how well it had worked! ha ha!]
Anyway, I recently decided to employ that tool again in order to create an acronym that I could memorize that would help me navigate the many challenges of CFIDS. With those who suffer from CFIDS, one will not find us moving quickly very often. More often than not, we are moving at a slower pace than most of the world around us. I guess you could say we are 'strolling' through life!
For that reason, I chose the word strolling as my acronym - S.T.R.O.L.L.I.N.G. In a nutshell, here is what it means:
S urrendering
T eaching
R eleasing
O bserving
L iving
L earning
I nstilling
N egating
G iving
Pretty straight forward really. S.T.R.O.L.L.I.N.G. simply reminds me to surrender, to teach, to release, to observe, to live, to learn, to instill, to negate and to give. If I forget one of the action words, I just have to recall the letter associated with it and I can usually recall it.
For me, each of these letters are not only tied to words, but each word holds a specific 'tool' . That way, if I am in a challenging situation, I can now just call up my acronym and determine which tool I need to employ. So, now for the purpose of each word.
Surrendering: Well, it means just that. I need to start letting go of – surrendering to God – the things I have no power to change. If I can't change it, then why worry about it. All that does is negatively affect me.
Teaching: One of the greatest assets I have found through my blog and the reading and interacting of similar blogs, is the ability to teach. I don't know that I, or any of those who blog about CFIDS/ME/FMS, think about our blogs or posts in that way, but in essence that is exactly what we are doing. I learn daily from people like Joleen, Renee, Kerry, Linda, Annie, Shelli, Jo, Sue, Laurel, upnorth, April, and so many more. Through our trials and tribulations, we all find ways to overcome. The reward is when we share it to help someone else. Love that!
Releasing: This is probably one of the most impacting tools I have learned during my journey with CFIDS, and to be quite blunt, with my life journey. Whatever it took, I did, in order to deal with my past. And unfortunately, my past had a lot in it. I was very wounded when it came to men. I had no coping skills to speak of. I was raped while stationed in the UK. I lost my grand-father on my 18th birthday. I went through two (2) divorces. My babysitter abused my daughter while I was stationed in Massachusetts. One of my husbands turned out to have inappropriate boundaries when it came to little girls. Sadly, that was just a few of the highlights! So many traumatic events that I had never taken the time to deal with. The evidence of running from my past was a person who was angry, scared, worried, sick, depressed, overly submissive, and on and on. The answer for me was to undergo counseling, submit to pastoral authority, go through a grieving workshop, and much more. But the end result, was I became free from the bondage of my past. It has been one of the greatest gifts I have been blessed with. No longer do I look into the rear view mirror because there is nothing there now. Now I can focus on today and tomorrow with out my past looking over my shoulder.
Observing: This one is probably self-explanatory if you have a chronic illness. Basically, I need to observe any boundaries such as energy, pain, and probably most importantly, relationships.
Living: Because my past no longer has the ability to haunt me, I can now live in the moment. I still have to work at it, because I tend to want to live in tomorrow. But living is about the moment. I need to 'be' in the moment in order to live in the moment. If I am focused on tomorrow or anything else for that matter, I then become distracted and am unable to just 'be'.
Learning: This is one I am still working on daily. However, I have recently changed how I view this. Instead of learning how to say 'no', I am now trying to figure out what the boundaries need to be in order for me to say, 'yes'. I think by doing this, it will make it easier to say 'no' when needed because I will have the criteria before me to guide me in what constitutes a 'yes' response. That will relieve a lot of guilt and stress for me.
Instilling: This one is about instilling worth in myself as well as instilling worth in others. I believe in my core that I have worth and so does each and every person. The challenge, for me, is finding ways to remind myself of that worth.
Negating: As someone with a melancholy temperament, my strengths are my ability to be critical, analytical, and find the negatives in any given situation. As you might imagine, these also become weaknesses when I don't keep them under control. The best way I have found to negate the negatives in my life, is to step back and try to find the positive. Nine times out of ten, I can find a positive. For me, positivity creates energy while negativity tends to drain me of the little energy I have.
Giving: This one has become very important in my learning to live with CFIDS. I find the more I give thanks for, the more thankful I become. The more thankful I become, the more positive and hopeful I feel.
I guess you could say I now have mapped out my vision for living with CFIDS/FMS. This is now my blueprint for how I will choose to live my life. I may tweak it along the way, but at least now I know where I am going and how I am going to get there.

Dutch Customs: Scan App
The Dutch customs launched a mobile app for travelers to check what they can bring in and out of the country. The app features an "OK-scan" where users can check their bags in the same way that customs officials do. Every scan results in a different (fake) picture of the inside of a bag, including an item that will raise eyebrows, such as weapons, counterfeit, protected goods and cash. Using another function "Is this ok", travelers can check customs rules on these items.

War on Graffiti – SCAF Vandalists Versus Graffiti Artists
Days after the first anniversary of January 25, tensions between anti-regime activists and loyalists to the SCAF have now reached the cement walls and streets of Cairo.
The graffiti war, a showdown between revolutionary street artists and a fanatical nationalist team who whitewash their work, is a new and disturbing manifestation of pro-Army popular sentiment.
In recent months, activists have used the walls to diligently spread messages denouncing military rule and military trials of thousands of civilians, and calling for another 25 January revolution. At the same time, military loyalists have just as attentively erased these graffiti pieces, leaving their own pro-army and nationalist messages.
This war, completely unimaginable during Mubarak's time, has come to a head on one wall: Ganzeer's famous mural of the tank versus bike.
This massive mural under the 6th of October Bridge in Zamalek is considered by many to be the most iconic piece of graffiti in post-revolution Cairo. A collaborative work by graffiti artist Ganzeer and his friends, and a blatant criticism of the Egyptian military, the mural has remained surprisingly untouched since May 2011.
But in early January 2012, unknown artists painted new additions (photo courtesy of @Mosaaberizing) onto the imposing mural, adding a row of protesters carrying 'V for Vendetta' masks, a pool of blood under the tank and bodies collapsing under its wheels — a clear reference to the 9 October Maspiro attacks, when Coptic protesters were run over by military APCs, leaving dozens dead.
Interestingly enough, these additions incited a reaction of their own: A group of pro-SCAF civilians called Badr Team 1 vandalized the mural 10 days later, erasing everything they found offensive to the Egyptian army. This meant erasing everything, except for the tank, that is.
In an amateur video allegedly captured on 20 January, Badr Team 1 (who also called themselves the Badr Battalion) accused graffiti artists of being foreign agents and traitors to Egypt. The team called on all honorable Egyptian youth to erase graffiti, as it was "a method for agents and traitors to spread their violent ideologies against the police, the army and Egyptian traditions."
This rhetoric is all too familiar to Egyptians who, for the past year, have had to listen to SCAF members broadcasting such accusations in the media.
Graffiti has spread like wildfire throughout Cairo in the past 12 months, and is used by young Egyptian activists to commemorate the victims of the uprising, and to raise awareness of political injustices and crimes committed by the Egyptian military. In the face of the mainstream media's campaign to tarnish protesters as criminals and cover up military crimes, many activists have turned to graffiti as an alternative means of reaching the average Egyptian on the streets.
And while this shaky amateur video produced by these antagonists of street art can easily be disregarded as a minor incident, the level of ignorance, paranoia and aggression propagated by the video is worrying.
Its incitement of attacks on graffiti artists, though, is sadly a natural consequence of the past months of hostility bred against all forms of criticism of the Egyptian military.
The irony that the dumbasses of Badr Team have made graffiti to denounce graffiti is clearly lost on them. They say members of the April 6 Youth Movement were responsible for the mural, even though an easy internet search would have led them straight to Ganzeer.
The video also shows the stencils of several martyrs' faces, which were made after the revolution to commemorate those who died during the January 25 revolution. The stencils once carried their names and the words "Glory to God." Now, the names are erased, and the words read "Glory to Egypt" instead, showing Badr Team's fanatical nationalism. It seems Egypt is superior to God in their demented heads.
"These drawings contain Masonic and anarchist codes and symbols," Badr Team's statement reads. Badr Team circles those "Masonic" symbols drawn by the graffiti artists, including a sad and fat panda, a bird, a child clasping his hands in prayer and the words "Power to the People."
They are all clear symbols inciting violence, especially the panda.
The V for Vendetta masks — often used by revolutionary artists, most likely as symbols of defying totalitarianism — are particularly bothersome for army loyalists, including the Muslim Brotherhood. It is worth noting here that a recent article in the Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party newspaper warned of anarchists wearing the 'B for Bendetta' masks, a spelling mistake that has since been ruthlessly lampooned all over the Egyptian Twitter-sphere.
At any rate, the graffiti community has been quick to respond to attacks by army loyalists, especially the erasure of SCAF's victims from the famous tank mural. Badr Team 1 had whitewashed all references to SCAF's atrocities, leaving the solitary tank standing in all its glory with any reference to the Maspiro massacre, the martyrs and the revolutionary protesters wiped out. The words 'The Army and the Police and the People Are One Hand' was ironically scrawled nearby.
Striking back at Badr Team 1's pro-SCAF erasure of the mural, a giant green monster of a military policeman chewing on the body of a protester next to stencils of Mona Lisa, Lenin, military leader Hussein Tantawi and other faces were sketched next to the tank. The new additions have been made by a group calling themselves the Mona Lisa Battalion, a tongue-in-cheek hat-tip to the Badr Battalion. The new graffiti faces are whimsical, funny and blatantly political; yet it's quite possible that the Badr Battalion will not understand that this art is directed at them, that this whole joke is on them.
When asked to comment on the Badr Team video, the original mural's creator, Ganzeer, said that he was initially happy to have this visual dialogue happening in reaction to the tank mural.
"But when I saw the YouTube video by the 'Badr Battalion', I felt a certain kind of sadness that this act was done by a group obviously soaked in ignorance and blind nationalism," he wrote to me.
"Clearly they've been brainwashed by our horrible school textbooks and official media, so brainwashed to the point of stating that 'The Army, police and people are one hand'."
Ganzeer couldn't resist adding the jab, "It's also obvious that these kids have no sense of aesthetic whatsoever."

If you Google search Cairo Street Art, Ganzeer's name is your top result. Countless interviews and features on the artist follow. As arguably the most recognized name on Cairo's art scene today, it's no surprise that Ganzeer is the most sought-after interview subject and reference on graffiti in Cairo.

The Wave Against Graffiti – We Ba3deen?
Graffiti is not meant to be permanent; but it is meant to produce a reaction, even if that reaction means removing it because it's offensive, or an eyesore. However, when you're a Faculty of Fine Arts in Cairo that teaches art, it's a little strange that you remove the post-jan25 graffiti your students and friends have made on your walls, no?
This Is Not Graffiti -Opens at Townhouse Factory Space, Cairo
After two months of seriously hard work, the exhibition 'This Is Not Graffiti' opened last night at Townhouse Gallery's Factory Space in Downtown Cairo.

This Is Not Graffiti: Group Exhibition at Townhouse Gallery of Contemporary Art
If you take graffiti off a street wall and put it inside a confined space, is it still graffiti? Does street art maintain its value when you remove the noise, the faces, and the life of the streets and put it on a safe wall?

Pop Goes Graffiti – The Faces of Cairo Street Art
Lately, the graffiti I've stumbled upon around Cairo seems to be predominantly faces of pop icons, political figures and cartoon characters, mostly Western references but with several Egyptian icons as well. It's an exciting and eclectic mix of Ghandi and Batman, Baradei and astronauts.

Protest Graffiti in Tahrir – The Mogamaa
The walls of the Mogamaa are filled with protest graffiti. There's rarely an empty space left between the large and colourful murals by HK, the witty caricature-like pieces by Hosny and the stencils by El Teneen, Sad Panda and many anonymous artists.

Cairo Graffiti -For Whom Exactly?
'Stop taking photographs of this, go to a museum,' he mutters as he walks past me.
I'm standing in front of the American University in Cairo's library wall, photographing a graffiti piece depicting video game characters Ryu and Mr. Bison, the latter wearing a Tantawi face that has been neatly slashed with red paint.
An Afternoon with Sad Panda
We meet under the most peculiar of circumstances. I'd been in touch with Sad Panda over Twitter about photographing his graffiti in the Cairo area of Masaken Sheraton; yet I, having the mental compass of a duck in the desert, get immediately lost. So he puts me in touch with a friend called Hatem, who will show me Sad Panda's work in the neighbourhood, but first Hatem asks me if I'd like to see a graffiti artist cutting up stencils. I say yes.
Five seconds in his living room and I realize Hatem is Sad Panda. The poster of a large panda being cut up on the table kinda gives it away. When probed, he demurs and says something along the lines of 'Why does Sad Panda have to be a person? It could be a group, or a theme, or an entity. Maybe I send stencils to someone in Holland to use them there; they could be Sad Panda there.'
He chain-smokes, his mother offers me cold orange juice, I try not to step on the cat lazing on the floor, and I snap away at my camera as he patiently cuts through the outline of his new stencil.
This is why I find him peculiar, or better, intriguing. For someone who says he isn't a people's person – he avoids public transportation and crowded spaces, which make him seriously depressed to the point of a phobia – he is incredibly friendly and warms to me instantly like he's known me for years. And for someone who says that he is depressed a lot and ends all his tweets with a sad face, he is surprisingly good humoured and easy going. He's somewhat paranoid about his true identity being revealed, and asks me not to take photos of his face or disclose details about him, a common strain that I find in other graffiti artists I've met.
Just get him talking about his graffiti and he loses the paranoia and talks animatedly.
'It's like cocaine to me,' he says. 'When you can only do a small amount of this substance or else you overdose, so you keep increasing the dose inch by inch until you slowly reach the point if you took one more dose; you're done. And then you go into rehab and you get healed, and you leave so that you go back to taking small doses of cocaine. That's how I see graffiti. The point is you make art, and then it gets removed, so you make more.'
'It doesn't matter to me if the graffiti gets ruined or painted over, ' he adds. 'The point is that the art is made, then it is seen, then it is destroyed and painted over, then it is made all over again. '
He came up with the sad panda persona because that was his nickname in school, due to his size and his melancholic demeanour.
'There was not a single wall or desk in school that I hadn't drawn a panda all over,' he laughs. 'Technique comes with practice. If I showed you my first graffiti piece, it should be torn apart now. '
His neighbourhood of Masaken Sheraton is his playground, his turf where he can paint freely to little if any reproach. We drive through the winding streets, as I spot a pair of eyes peeking from a lamppost, a Baradei head on a telephone box, Suzanne Mubarak, Safwat Sherif and Zakareya Azmy on electricity boxes. And of course, the proverbial panda shape everywhere.
'You know, the day after I made the Suzanne Mubarak poster, she got arrested,' he giggles, 'As if my little poster in Masaken Sheraton brought Mama Suzanne down.'
He doesn't like his art to be pigeon-holed or politicized, even if it is political.
'Someone wrote about my graffiti and analysed it as the political panda. What is a political panda? How can a panda be political?!'
He prefers to focus on the comedic element of his work, and avoids work that spells out its message.
'The concept is 'this art is mine.' That's how I see it. I want to make a statement that could be interpreted as political, but I don't want to have force my message down people's throats. If I did, I'd get a microphone and roam around the streets, yelling at people till they get my point. That's the difference between being an activist and an artist. When Picasso painted the Spanish civil war, he made Guernica, and he painted it from his perspective. The way he saw it, not the way the war was. '
Hatem uses relatable local personalities in his images that the average man on the street can understand: Saad Zaghloul, Abdel Halim Hafez, the politicians, the protestors, the military; all accompanied by a small panda doodle at the bottom as his signature. One exception is Che Guevara the Salafist, an icon that not necessarily everyone in Egypt would recognize.
'If you see Ahmed Adaweya holding a machine gun, at least the average man on the street will like it and try to figure it out.'
He adds that the Egyptian culture lacks street art sophistication, and the only posters and banners people are used to seeing are of political banners or posters for elections.
'That's the only background knowledge they have,' he says. 'So to put up posters and tell them that this is art, they will think: 'So what? What am I supposed to do with it?' If you paint something they don't even understand, they won't even take pleasure in seeing the artwork. Ahmed Adaweya I know and understand , and I will be happy to see a graffiti piece about him. Our art has to be related to us somehow. '
Things have changed for Hatem's graffiti escapades since the revolution. Before he had to be careful and clandestine, and work in the dark, now he can paint on main streets in broad daylight.
'When [people on the street] find me painting a panda, they don't really react much, it's not like I'm painting the mask of freedom, it's just a panda,' he insists.
There is no clear law criminalizing vandalism in Egypt, merely a law prohibiting destruction of public monuments and private property, as far as I know. Your maximum fine is 50LE if you actually get caught, and you may be forced to repaint the wall you just spoiled.
'But you won't be condemned to death for graffiti,' he shrugs.
Cairo Street Art – Downtown Graffiti
'Excuse me,' he walks up to me as I hesitantly put my camera down, 'What does this picture mean?'
He points at the Keizer stencil of Mickey Mouse on the grey wall. Mahmoud Bassiouny Street on a Saturday afternoon is crowded, and people seem still wary of any snap-happy camera-toting thug like me. Who knows, I could be another Facebook-loving Zionist spy.
'I think that's Mickey Mouse,' I say helpfully.
'Yes but what does it mean? And who is that man next to him?'
He's bald with a graying walrus moustache, probably in his mid-forties, his full cheeks sweating as he fans at his pin-striped pink shirt.
'I'm not quite sure,' I say politely, wishing I could go back to my camera, but he appears adamant for an answer. 'Maybe it's a president? It could be George Bush.'
'Yes but what is George Bush doing with Mickey Mouse? I like this picture, I walk past it every day, but I wish there'd be some writing explaining it so that I could understand.'
How do I explain dichotomy or irony in Arabic? My mind goes blank.
'Err… maybe the guy who made this wants you to think about it and come up with your own idea?' I offer weakly.
He seems even more baffled. 'Well I don't want to figure it out myself, it's much easier if he just tells me what it means so I know what to think.'
I ponder on whether I should bring up the whole we-lived-under-a-dictatorship-that-told-us-what-to-think-for-thirty-years-arent-you-happy-to-think-for-yourself-for-once theory, but I don't. I'd rather move on, plus something about his walrus moustache makes him look like an NDP fan. Yes, I'm racist like that. I judge your political affiliation by your facial hair.
'I mean it's nice and everything,' he continues eagerly, 'But not as nice as the beautiful flags they paint everywhere, so pretty. You know, I was in Tahrir every day, I was one of the shabab of the revolution…'
Ah yes. The most overused line that launches every conversation since January 25th. Somehow I get stuck between a man and the wall I want to photograph as he talks for a full twenty minutes without interruption about Tahrir, Alaa Aswany, what he thinks of Baradei, the elections, the Muslim Brotherhood, yadayada, while I check my phone, make coughing noises, fiddle with my camera lense, shift from one foot to another, check my phone again. Eventually, he offers me his phone number and I politely say goodbye.
The camera never leaves my protective hands, held up against my chest like ammunition, pointing directly at him.

Cairo Street Art After the Revolution: Zamalek
It's not that street art never existed in Cairo before January 25th; it's just that it never breathed this vibrantly before. There's something raw, quick, witty and unpredictable about street art that gives an identity to the city; be it New York City, Barcelona, London or Cairo now.

Flanders Fields
... nothing better than getting out. But the floor of the cubicle is soaking and I need to get dry. So the quickest solo rub down in history in the public area of the showers is completed, and I have managed to get a top on. Shivering and feet blue, I bend over to get some pants, when the poor cleaning lady enters and gets mooned for her trouble. Worry not, anything else that may have been exposed was so retracted, she may have needed to see the back of my neck. Oh well, no harm done! Hey Ho!
Beautiful Bruges
... to import!), cheeses, and chocolate!!! There was enough food to feed 10 people! Riet is a beautiful person with this amazing aura around her and a constant smile on her face (she reminds me a lot of Christine, my yoga teacher at home). We definitely found a match for Cielo and Jose (our Granada hosts)! She chatted with us whenever they walked past or came in to fetch something, but still gave us plenty of space, and her attention to detail and all the small little touches ...
Bruge, Belgium
... out the area. Lots of restaurants, open air cafés, cobblestone streets, brick and mortar buildings, a beautiful bell tower. We stopped and had a typical Belgian meal at St Amandjste. Flemish stew which is like pot roast all cut up, it comes with chunky applesauce and little fingerling potatoes. We also had shared a Greek salad. It was a delicious lunch. Walked around ...
Short weekend but more time for Brugge
... and we're off again. We find the oldest pub in town and try 3 different beers. they have 25 different ones. One of the beers was a raspberry and honestly, it was like drinking soda pop. Not beer tasting at all and not that wonderful but I can imagine that it might be popular with some women. maybe it's what they start the kids on to learn to drink beer.
Before long, we've made a circle around the parts we wanted, have seen many of the same things ...
... on the cushion at the top of the backrest- the perfect position in which to enjoy your pipe to the full. Wandering through the museum, I came to realise that I was completely alone (apart from the receptionist and guard at the front). Somewhat unsettling, really! Checking my watch, I saw 4:05- the museum closed at 5:00, so I was good for time. Upon leaving, I realised that my watch had stopped and that it was 4:57. Nearly got trapped in a folk-nightmare!

Paul Nelson, Paul Nelson, Deseret News
WEST JORDAN — Ever since the Iraq War started more than 10 years ago, one unit of the Utah National Guard has been steadily busy.
This unit is not an engineering squad or a combat unit. The 23rd Army Band is assigned a completely different mission.
"Our job is to go out and provide musical support for the military, as well as the community," said band commander Denny Saunders. "We go into communities and we play concerts to promote patriotism."
Saunders said the band performs 60 to 65 shows every year across the country and the world, though most performances are in the state of Utah.
"Summer is definitely our busy time," Sgt. 1st Class Lisa Blodgett said. "In June and July, we're doing a lot of stuff and a handful (of events) in September, also."
There are several subgroups within the band, including the concert band, the jazz combo, the rock band and a brass quintet, among other groups.
"Every week, we have requests coming in for the band, and I go through those requests and decide which group is going to be the one that is going to be able to cover that," Blodgett said.
For instance, the buglers are sent to military funerals and Boy Scout troop visits. But if they need to play at a military ball, they'll break out the concert band.
The group has played for presidents, senators, members of Congress and heads of state. The group performs for thousands of people, giving clinics and concerts at schools, performing at civic functions, marching in parades and providing music for military dances, changes of command and pass-in-reviews, according to the group's website, 23rdArmyBand.com.
"We've got some troop departures coming up," Blodgett said. "We'll send the rock band out as entertainment while the festivities are going on before the departure."
The 23rd Army Band is more than just a group of musicians. It is also a highly trained group of U.S. Army soldiers that maintains a readiness with a full training schedule, including an annual weapons qualification, a semiannual physical training test, basic soldier training, combat readiness, and many other skills required as a soldier and a member of the Utah National Guard.
While these performances have the 23rd Army Band hopping, Saunders said it's nothing compared to what happens when soldiers are deployed.
"To leave your family for a year or more … what we do is very small by comparison," he said. "(It's) a very small sacrifice."
Still, Saunders said their work can be comforting for those with loved ones who are serving in the armed forces.
"I've had people come up to me after a concert with tears in their eyes, just saying, 'Thank you. Thank you. I have a son who is in the military. I have a son who is in Iraq.' I've seen that multiple times," he said.

Self-Organized Control for Visual Sensor Networks
Download Now
Date Added: May 2010
Format: PDF
A visual sensor network consisting of embedded visual sensor nodes, e.g. wireless cameras, is promising as a monitoring and surveillance system for the high visibility and the amount of information that video images provide. However, it suffers from limitations on the wireless communication capacity and the computational capacity. For the limited bandwidth, an attempt to collect high-quality video data from all camera nodes to a monitoring center always fails and it results in corruption of perceived video images.

Sue Paterno
Oct. 7, 2010
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa.; - Sue Paterno and her more than 20 years of work with Special Olympics Pennsylvania will be recognized during the Give Big segment on Big Ten Tailgate, which airs this weekend on the Big Ten Network.
Paterno began a labor of love with Special Olympians in 1989. Her efforts have helped keep the Special Olympics Pennsylvania Summer Games and its 2,000 athletes coming back to the Penn State campus and State College area every June for the past 23 years. In 2008, Sue and her husband, Joe Paterno, were inducted into the Special Olympics Pennsylvania Hall of Fame.
Big Ten Tailgate will originate from the Penn State campus this weekend, debuting Friday at 11:00 p.m. on the Big Ten Network. The one hour program will re-air Saturday at 12:30, 5:00 and 9:00 a.m. At 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, Big Ten Football Kickoff will air live from Beaver Stadium on the network. Penn State hosts Illinois for its 91st Homecoming Game on Saturday at 12:00 p.m.
A 1962 Arts & Letters graduate of Penn State, Sue Paterno has devoted herself for nearly 50 years to improving the lives of others, ranging from helping student-athletes at Penn State work on their writing skills to providing enduring memories for Special Olympic athletes from across Pennsylvania.
Named a Distinguished Alumna in 2004, Sue has provided tireless dedication and leadership to the entire Penn State campus and the surrounding local communities. To many Penn State students, she frequently serves as an unofficial adviser and as honorary chair of countless student-run events. Among the causes she is deeply involved with, in addition to Pennsylvania Special Olympics, are: Penn State's University Libraries Development Advisory Board, College of the Liberal Arts Development Council, the annual United Way campaign, Penn State Alumni Association's National Service Week, the University's Leadership Gifts committee, and the National Council for Penn State Philanthropy.
Joe and Sue Paterno have made contributions totaling nearly $5 million to Penn State to support the University Libraries, the Pasquerilla Spiritual Center, the All-Sports Museum, and an array of faculty positions, graduate fellowships and undergraduate scholarships in the College of the Liberal Arts and the School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture.
In 2009, the Paternos pledged $1 million towards the construction of a new wing at the Mount Nittany Medical Center, Centre County's primary healthcare facility.
This past August, the groundbreaking was held for the Suzanne Pohland Paterno Catholic Student Faith Center, which is being built just north of the Penn State campus. The Paternos are the honorary co-chairs to raise $6.5 million for the project.
The Big Ten Network launched its Give Big campaign in September. Its mission is to inspire service and sacrifice among Big Ten Community members. This fall, the Big Ten Network will profile a member of the Big Ten family (one from each school) who has made an impact in their community through their volunteer service. Segments will run during Big Ten Tailgate at 11 PM ET and a companion microsite - www.BTNGiveBig.com will connect viewers on ways to act, serve and inspire within their communities.
About the Big Ten Network: The Big Ten Network is the first internationally distributed network dedicated to covering one of the premier collegiate conferences in the country. With approximately 400 live events, and nearly all of them in HD, the network is the ultimate destination for Big Ten fans and alumni across the country, allowing them to see their favorite teams, regardless of where they live. The network operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, showcasing a wide array of classic-to-current sports and televising more Olympic sporting events and women's sports than has ever been aired on any other network. Original programming highlights activities and accomplishments of some of the nation's finest universities. Each year, the network offers between 35 and 40 football games, 105 regular season men's basketball games; 55 women's basketball games; dozens of Big Ten Championship events; studio shows; coaches' shows; and classic games.
The Big Ten Network is available to more than 75 million homes via cable and satellite providers nationwide and in Canada. The network currently has agreements with more than 300 affiliates, including DirecTV, DISH Network, AT&T U-Verse, Verizon FiOS, Atlantic Broadband, Bright House, Cablevision, CATV Service, Inc., Charter, Comcast, Cox (Cleveland, Omaha, Arizona, Arkansas, Kansas, Las Vegas, Northern Virginia), Insight, Mediacom, Midcontinent, Nittany Media, RCN, Rogers Cable, Canada), Service Electric, Shaw Cable and Shaw Direct (Canada), Time Warner Cable, Western Broadband, Windstream and WOW.

Imani Cross had a much deserved break for a few days during Christmas to re-connect with family in Georgia, even though he was still in football mode as the University of Nebraska freshman running back and North Hall High grad was readying to face his home state University of Georgia in the Capital One Bowl on Tuesday in Orlando, Fla.
Cody Getz spent his first three years at the United States Air Force Academy playing behind old friend Asher Clark, whom he grew up with in Lawrenceville. As a senior, however, Getz took over at running back and has certainly seized the opportunity to start for the Falcons.
Oglethorpe University senior Branden Jovaag doesn't know how long he'll be able to keep it up, but the Chestatee grad and the rest of his teammates and coaches are benefiting each time he's out on the floor.
Forget the Oscars or the Emmys.
ATLANTA - Jail records show that former Atlanta Braves star center fielder Andruw Jones is free on bond after being arrested in suburban Atlanta on a battery charge.
Good riddance, 2012.
FLORENCE, Ala. - Matt Pierce returned the opening kickoff 96 yards for a touchdown and freshman Cedric O'Neal ran for 140 yards and a score to lead Valdosta State to a 35-7 victory over Winston-Salem State on Saturday in the Division II championship game.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - Tennessee freshman guard Andraya Carter will undergo season-ending surgery on her right shoulder Thursday.
NEW YORK - Johnny Football just got himself a way cooler nickname: Johnny Heisman.
NORFOLK, Va. - Buford High grad Dominique Swope ran 12 yards for a touchdown with 2:36 remaining, and Georgia Southern's defense helped erase a two-touchdown deficit in the fourth quarter and beat Old Dominion 49-35 in the FCS quarterfinals.
This college football bowl season is like a brand of Chex Mix that comes with a bunch of nuts you don't really care to eat.
ATLANTA - Trent Miles is leaving Indiana State to replace Bill Curry as Georgia State's football coach.
ATHENS - Aaron Murray has already received some lofty praise, should he decide to enter the NFL draft.
HOMESTEAD, Fla. - Here's a tweet for Brad Keselowski: NASCAR champion. Roger Penske must like the sound of that, too.
AVONDALE, Ariz. - When the fighting stopped, the oil had dried and the last of the wrecked cars had been towed away, Brad Keselowski found himself on the brink of a first Sprint Cup title for himself and team owner Roger Penske.

Ten Best Music-Related Things to Do This Weekend Under $10: New Year's Eve Edition!
We did it, y'all. We survived another year, managed to dodge creditors and demented ex-girlfriends, held a steady (albeit low-paying) job in a recession. We even occupied Wall Street.
With just two days left in 2011, we're encouraging everyone to get rowdy. Go ball so hard it makes "Niggas in Paris" sound like a bedtime story. And no, we're not talking 'bout dropping-$100,000-on-Ricky-Rozay's-NYE-party ballin'.
We're talking 'bout cheap booze and chasing women or men, raunchy midnight make-out sessions on South Beach and NSA sexcapades. So stretch those last $10 and check out our list of best things to do this weekend.
Chum Bucket. Friday, December 30, 9:45 p.m., Churchill's Pub, 5501 NE Second Ave, Miami. $5. Miami's gnarliest punk collective throws its last show of 2011 high atop the Churchill's stage.
Stokeswood. Friday, December 30, 10 p.m., The Stage, 170 NE 38 St., Miami). $10. These Atlanta indie-poppers are having a steamy love affair with The Stage, performing yet again at the Design District spot.
The Hootenanny. Friday, December 30, 10 p.m., Tobacco Road, 626 S. Miami Ave., Miami. $5. Mustachioed madness at the Big Mango's oldest watering hole. Hi-O!
Particle. Friday, December 30, 10 p.m., The Vagabond, 30 NE 14th St., Miami. $10. People of Earth, this band's a gnarly acid trip.
LUSH South Beach NYE. Saturday, December 31, 9 p.m., 233 12th St., Miami Beach. Free. That's right, NYE on South Beach for FREE.
The Room. Saturday, December 31, 9 p.m., 100 Collins Ave., Miami Beach. Free. It's tiny. Tighter than a Chinese finger trap, actually. But The Room is such a great little spot for brews and indie rock. Ring in 2012 drunk off French beer and dancing to bands Pitchfork doesn't even know about.
Purdy Lounge. Saturday, December 31, 10 p.m., 1811 Purdy Ave., Miami Beach. Free. There's never a cover, not even on NYE. Let's get wild, yo.
Ludacris at Bayfront Park New Year's Eve. Saturday, December 31, 7 p.m., Bayfront Park, 391 Biscayne Blvd., Miami. Free. Get touristy with it and count down the New Year with folks from across the globe.
Gospel Brunch. Sunday, January 1, 11 a.m., City Hall Restaurant, 2004 Biscayne Blvd., Miami. $8 for eggs.. Cure the hangover with some grits. Maybe a few eggs. Anything under $10.
Larf. Sunday, January 1, 9 p.m., Churchill's Pub, 5501 NE Second Ave., Miami. $5. After brunch, why not rage at Churchill's?

Submission OLPC gears up for another promotion->
ffm writes: "OLPC has decided to run another G1G1, but this time, they hope to get it right. There have been prior stories about it, but this is directly from the Chairman, Negroponte. The initial price will stay the same, at $399, and moreover, N.N. says that the first 100,000 or so to order will get their laptops "right away", as opposed to last time's 3-8 month wait."
