Finally got in touch with Apple Tech Support by phone, and they told me that iOS programs DO support the OS X passwords in files.
I gambled and purchased Pages, and it DOES ask for a password when I open a file downloaded from OS X.

in response to wa1oui
I found this thread rather late, but here are a couple of notes (re: Pages and iOS current as my writing):
You can password protect a Pages document saved in iCloud, and if you try to open it in iOS, you'll have to enter the password.
But if you edit the document, the password will be removed from the document. That applies to both iOS and OS X.
The warning says that opening it will remove the password, but I have not found that to be true. It's editing that does the deed.
If you need to edit, you can choose to open a copy of the document, leaving the original unchanged. But then you'd have to password protect the copy on your Mac.

ICAS HAS CRICITISED the Financial Reporting Councils audit reforms as not putting enough pressure on auditors to give their opinions on reports.
The institute was responding to a consultation document, published today, claiming that the change does not go far enough as auditors will only have to publish their opinion on the narrative section of an annual report if they believe it is not "fair and balanced".
Further reading
However, the Scottish Institute claims that auditors should give their opinion on the narrative front part of all annual reports.
"The proposal that auditors would only report by exception - in circumstances where they believe that the content of such reports is not fair, balanced and reasonable - fails to properly fill the assurance vacuum in this area," said ICAS director of technical policy James Barbour.
"Research undertaken on behalf of ICAS revealed a genuine demand amongst investors for assurance on the narrative information contained in annual reports. We believe that this demand would be best satisfied by auditors being asked to opine on whether such information is deemed fair and balanced. Reporting by exception, we believe, does not place sufficient emphasis on an increasingly important part of corporate reporting."

text: I had an abnormal ultrasound, low progesterone (8.3) and my hcg only went from 28,000 to 35,000 in 3 days. I am now having cramping and was wondering how long it usually takes for a miscarriage to end once cramping begins. I am worried that the bad part will take place while I'm at work or, even worse, during my exams in 2 weeks. I am wondering (1) how soon can I expect the miscarriage to occur, (2) how horrible can I expect the pain to get, and (3) for how long does the intense pain last? Thank you so much in advance for any input you are able to give.

Kobe Bryant recently sat down with Laker Nation's own David Brickley, Jason Riley, and Kevin Figgers.
In part 3 of 4 of their sit down conversation, Bryant discusses Team vs. Individual competition, why he enjoys the more non-traditional sports at the Olympic games, and much more!
Bryant also talks about how much he enjoys being a part of the Olympic games:
Jason Riley: We had some inside sources that have told us you had an opportunity to jump in the water with Michael Phelps…
Kobe Bryant: [laughs] Nah, I m not doing that! But I enjoyed watching him swim and you know going to a bunch of different events because that's really what the Olympics are about, its a celebration of the athlete and having the opportunity to go to different events and seeing them do what they do best was a real treat for me. I mean its like you know its like a kid in a candy store you know you get chance to meet so many different athletes from so many different countries and kind of talk to them about their stories and what got them to this point, also how they train for their particular sport.
Make sure to catch all parts of the Kobe Interview by SUBSCRIBING to our channel on YouTube!

Testament to Remarkable Artistic Past Native American Pottery Opens Door to History
Tom Uhlenbrock Of the Post-Dispatch Robert W. Duffy Carol Ferring Shepley, St Louis Post-Dispatch (MO)
BY THE time Columbus "discovered" America, several civilizations had come and gone in the Southwest, leaving few clues to the cause of their demise.
But what they did leave behind is a remarkable record of pottery production, a Native American art form that continues unabated today.
"Pottery From the American Southwest," an exhibition in Gallery 120 at the St. Louis Art Museum, displays pottery from the prehistoric to the present - but it is the work of the ancient civilizations that highlights the show.
Seven pieces are from the Mimbres culture, a group of people that inhabited small farming villages from A.D. 200 to A.D. 1300 in what is now the southwest corner of New Mexico. The Mimbres specialized in bowls painted with intricate designs on the inside.
The subject matter ranged from realistic rabbits and rattlesnakes to humans and mythological creatures with both human and animal body parts. Some bowls feature only geometric patterns.
Many of the bowls were placed over the face of the dead during burial, and have a "kill" hole in the middle to allow the spirit of the deceased to pass into the sacred world.
Among those on display in the exhibition is a bowl with a painting of a long-tailed animal with a human head, a small bowl with a soaring swallow in the middle, a ladle-shaped bowl with a ghost-like figure and a large pot that features three insects - grubs? - around the rim.
The museum's best examples of Mimbres pottery are two bowls in the small permanent display of the American Indian collection. One features rabbits and the other shows two cranes dining on a large fish. Both are spectacular examples of the art form.
The show stoppers in the exhibition in Gallery 120 are three pieces in the section of Anasazi work. The Anasazi, or "ancient ones," were the cliff dwellers whose homes can be seen in Canyon de Chelly, Chaco Canyon, Mesa Verde National Park and other scenic spots in the Southwest.
The Anasazi specialized in large vase-shaped ollas - pronounced oi-yas - painted in black and white with swirls, zigzags, squares, triangles and other abstract forms. Three of the Anasazi pieces - two by the Gila culture and a third labeled Pima - are painted in cream, black and red. One is a large olla and the other two are huge bowls. All three are stunning in size and execution.
Unfortunately, two of the works in the display - one a Mimbres bowl and the other an Anasazi black-and-white olla - have been removed temporarily for restoration. Many prehistoric finds are broken into shards that must be pieced together.
The museum is improving the repair work on these two pieces, but the work should have been done before the show opened, rather than leave two voids in the display.
The third ancient culture in the exhibition technically is not American Indian. The Casas Grande lived about 100 miles south of the Rio Grande in Mexico. The seven pieces on display came from the Museum's Morton D. May collection.
Casas Grande pottery also features humans and animals. The pieces in the exhibition are decorated with snakes, badger and parrot heads and a human face. Again, the museum's best examples of Casas Grande pottery are in the permanent display.
The gallery exhibition includes pottery from the historic period, including minor works by the two most famous Native American potters, Nampeyo of the Hopi tribe and Maria Poveka Martinez of San Ildefonso pueblo.
Two fine Acoma pots are in the show, although one is mislabeled as Zuni.
A selection of contemporary pottery includes 21 miniatures, but the historic as well as the contemporary pieces pale when displayed next to the imposing work of the prehistoric peoples.

Own a Land Yacht? Get a Dinghy Instead
Three cars sat in the driveway, and there was only one that I desperately wanted.
We were high in the Sierra Nevada mountains somewhere just south of Lake Tahoe. My aunt lives in the area, and in her driveway sat a Lexus RX 350, an Audi Q7, and a 1988 Honda Civic.
The two luxury utes looked like behemoths next to the diminutive Honda, but that's the one I would've loved to take home.
Here's why.

Upcoming Android 4.1 Jelly Bean devices, starting with Google's recently unveiled Nexus 7 tablet, will not receive official Flash Player support from Adobe. Moreover, Adobe announced plans to pull Flash Player from the Google Play Store on August 15 for unsupported devices, and while you can expect Flash updates to roll out for older hardware running Android 4.0 or earlier, it's clear the future lies in HTML5.
"Devices that don't have the Flash Player provided by the manufacturer typically are uncertified, meaning the manufacturer has not completed the certification testing requirements. In many cases users of uncertified devices have been able to download the Flash Player from the Google Play Store, and in most cases it worked. However, with Android 4.1 this is no longer going to be the case, as we have not continued developing and testing Flash Player for this new version of Android and its available browser options. There will be no certified implementations of Flash Player for Android 4.1," Adobe confirmed in a blog post.
If Flash Player already exists on a device prior to upgrading to Android 4.1, Adobe recommends uninstalling it after jumping to Jelly Bean. Otherwise, you can expect "unpredictable behavior," Adobe said.
This isn't as sudden as it might seem. In reality, Adobe waved the white flag with Flash on mobile devices some time ago, announcing in November 2011 that it "will no longer continue to develop Flash Player in the browser to work with new mobile device configurations," choosing instead to "increase investment in HTML5."

So...there's that.
Then there's the real world, where the stock market has tumbled almost 2,000 points since July 21. President Obama has blamed, in order, the European economy, the "Arab Spring," the rise in oil prices and now, the Tea Party. On Tuesday, Obama explained that the problem was that Standard and Poor's, which downgraded America's debt from its normal triple-A rating, "doubted our political system's ability to act." Then Obama blustered, "No matter what some agency may say, we've always been and always will be a triple-A country."
Obama doesn't believe that. And he shouldn't. We may not always be a triple-A country. Not when our former Federal Reserve chairman, Alan Greenspan, says that our guarantee of our creditworthiness is that "we can always print money." Not when our GDP is now outstripped by our debt -- and not when our debt-to-GDP ratio has rocketed up more than 40 percent since Obama's inauguration.
Obama's stunning unwillingness to seriously address the debt crisis means that America teeters on the brink. Our stock market has not nearly hit bottom yet. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were slapped with a credit downgrade, and yet President Obama has said nothing about raising interest rates or preventing further spendthrift lending by the agencies. This means that real estate remains overvalued. We already know that our bonds are overvalued, since our spending endangers our creditworthiness. We also know that our stocks are overvalued, since President Obama has seen fit to infuse billions in cash to his corporate buddies.
The stock market isn't nearly done dropping yet. We may see a dead cat bounce in the next few days, but the chances of a significant rise are nowhere in sight -- not when the GDP is stagnant; not when unemployment remains high; not when consumer confidence remains at staggering lows. We stand at the edge of ObamaCare, which will cripple the economy beyond all ability to recover. We balance on the precipice of tax increases at the end of next year as the Bush tax policies expire.

My first semester as a health teacher in Moldova has officially ended. As much as there have been ups and downs, it is hard to believe that I am half way through my first year of teaching. I just had a great talk with my tutor/adjunct director, and I am hopeful and excited to start implementing some ideas that extend beyond the classroom beginning in 2013.
This last week has been pretty cool. It started out with the different grades presenting final posters of various topics we have discussed throughout the last few weeks. That went well enough, although we had several kids absent so for each grade, at least a third to half of the class didn't present, which I found frustrating. My partner teacher waved this off and seemed to think it was normal, and didn't really understand why I was a little flustered that so many kids just didn't show up for the final project.
I tried to explain to her a little bit about the grading system in the States versus Moldova because they work very differently. Grades in Moldova are subjective to a certain extent; for every lesson, each student present is given a grade from 1 to 10, 10 being the best. In general, students usually receive something between a 7 to 10, although I have seen a few sixes and fives before. The grades (or "notă" as they are called") are hand written in the official grade book, called the Catalog. Each class must hand carry the Catalog from one class to the next (each class seems to kind of have one or two students that are in charge of this and make sure it gets picked up and dropped off with the respective teacher for
each lesson). The subjective part comes with the fact that the teachers must decide each student's grade for each lesson before the Catalog is taken to the next class; thus notă for each class are usually a rather rushed process completed either during class if the kids are given time to work in groups or by themselves, or sometime in the 10-15 minute break period in between classes; thus notă for each class commonly and unfortunately tend to be based on reputation, i.e. those standout students usually earn a 9 or a 10 by default, those "screw-up" (or less engaged) students earn something between a 5 and a 7, and everyone else in between gets an 8. Consequently, there is not really an opportunity for a "troublesome" kid to redeem themselves because they have already been labeled as "troublesome" and they don't have any incentive to change.
These grades are then added together and divided by however many classes the student attended that semester (i.e. the total number of notas they received for the respective semester). This is all done out loud during the last class; the students even help calculate the grades, and then the teacher reads everyone's grade out loud to the whole class. At least this is how my partner teachers did this.
So back to why half the class didn't show up for their final presentations. I tried to explain to my partner teacher that in the States, grades are weighted based on percentages, so there is an incentive for the students to show up on the day of the final test/presentation/whatever, because it is worth more than the rest of the days. Unfortunately for me, I didn't know the words for "weighted" or "incentive" in Romanian, so I really wasn't able to get my point across. Story of my life right now.
But back to fun stuff. Friday was basically a fun day, as lessons were officially over, and the kids put on an end of the year ceremony for the teachers/parents. There was a fun little Santa Clause/clown act in the afternoon for the youngest grades. I found it amusing and slightly ironic that many kids seemed to dress up in random costumes, kind of like Halloween (the ironic part would be the fact that we were not given the blessing of the community to put on the Halloween party this year, but it is ok for the kids to dress up in various costumes for Christmas). The two costumes that stood out to me were a witch and a bright orange fox. Also, strangely enough, the Santa Clause for the youngest kids carried a rather creepy looking snake staff. Possibly an explanation was given about this that I didn't understand…
Anyway, all in all it was a really fun day, and I'm glad I was able to partake in the events. I will be in Greece until after the New Year, however, the Orthodox Christmas is celebrated on January 7th, so it will be interesting to experience all of this when I get back.
I wish everyone a safe, warm, and wonderful holiday season :)

24 hours in hong kong: kowloon
posted: January 2, 2014
While many visitors to Hong Kong Island are dazzled by the glamour of the city, Sarah Fung, managing editor of city living guide HK Magazine, finds that the city's true character lies in the culture and contrasts that Kowloon has to offer. We're pretty chuffed that Kowloon also happens to be the home of our brand new Tsim Sha Tsui showroom.
We followed Sarah around on a whirlwind, 24-hour tour of the district. Over to her…
Next time you visit the city, consider skipping the well-known attractions on the island and spend some time exploring Kowloon's lesser-known delights. I grew up shopping in the street markets and boutiques of Mong Kok, eating at hole-in-the-wall restaurants in Kowloon City, and enjoying—perhaps a little too enthusiastically—the nightlife of downtown Tsim Sha Tsui.
My favourite thing about Kowloon is the way it changes character from one moment to the next. In a matter of minutes, you can go from exploring the insalubrious labyrinth of Chungking mansions to the finest hotels in the world. And from glitzy streets crammed with shoppers, you can find pockets of peace just off the beaten track—that is, if you know where to look.
Hong Kong's elderly get up with the larks to perform tai chi, a slow-moving martial art that's excellent for calming the mind and strengthening the body. If you want to give it a go, there are informal meet-ups at dawn in parks all over the city; Kowloon Park is one of the city's biggest, and you'll find pensioners meditatively practicing their moves under enormous banyan trees. Alternatively, I start my day with a yoga session. Pure Yoga has a huge, state-of-the-art facility with spectacular harbour views. The only challenge is that it can be difficult to concentrate on your poses when you've got a window like this to look out of.
Thanks to the European influence in Hong Kong, our dining scene has a few culinary quirks. The traditional Hong Kong breakfast consists of east-meets-west dishes such as macaroni and ham soup, deep-fried French toast and scrambled egg sandwiches, all washed down with a thick, brick-coloured tea made with evaporated milk. Head to the longstanding diner, Australia Dairy Company as soon as it opens at 7:30am. This restaurant's loyal customers come for its famed scrambled egg sandwiches and sweet milk bowl puddings, which are the best in the city.
On weekends, Hongkongers always have dim sum for brunch. This is a traditional daytime meal where families gather to share plates of steamed and fried buns and dumplings. One outstanding venue is Loong Toh Yuen at the Hullett House hotel. Formerly the Marine Police Headquarters, this historical building has been refurbished and has a wonderful colonial feel. The all-you-can-eat dim sum menu is HKD$190 (~$26) per head on weekdays and HKD$230 (~$31) per head on weekends.
After a busy morning, you can escape the hectic streets of Tsim Sha Tsui by checking into one of the many excellent spas the area has to offer. Once or twice a year, I'll treat myself to a day at the Peninsula Spa by Espa. It's my favourite spa in Hong Kong, not least because of the indoor Roman-style swimming pool, which opens out onto an outdoor deck where you can sit and watch the ships sail through the harbour. Many of the treatment packages come with a healthy three-course breakfast, lunch or afternoon tea and a full day of lounging by the pool.
Kowloon has a so many street markets that it's impossible to list just one, but I love Goldfish Street (Tung Choi Street), where you can find beautiful and ornate aquariums on display, as well as fish of all kinds to go into them. For a real feel of old Hong Kong, try Apliu Street in Sham Shui Po for vintage electronics, gadgets and bric-a-brac. It's one part of Hong Kong that has hardly changed since the 1960s. Nearby, for people who love crafts and making jewellery, is Beads Street, where you can find the best selection of buttons, baubles, ribbons and other craft supplies in the world.
A chilled-out, alfresco experience can be hard to find in busy Mong Kok, but there's actually a marvelous little gem: the Langham Place's Backyard is a 6,000-square-foot secluded courtyard with deep, comfy seats, shady trees, a bar and casual dining menu, and an awesomely relaxed vibe. If you have time to kill, go for the Lazy Daze package.
Tsim Sha Tsui has an unbelievably dense concentration of malls, but to me, they just blend into each other after a while. The cool kids have historically shopped on Granville Road, a stretch of boutiques that is home to funky independent stores, factory outlets selling overruns and "upstairs shops" run by entrepreneurial Hongkongers looking to escape extortionate rents. At the bottom of the road is the flagship store of Chapel, a Hong Kong brand that uses leftover fabrics from high-end fashion manufacturing processes to make its own clothes. Just off Granville Road you'll find the Rise Commercial Building, crammed with tiny stores overflowing with offerings from local designers.
Shutterbugs can get their fix at Mido Café,a lovely, atmospheric Hong Kong-style diner with mismatched mosaic tiles and kitschy décor, with high ceilings and windows that offer a panoramic view of the public square and a local temple. It has been around since 1950 and is a popular site for photoshoots. The owners are happy for you to take photos as long as you don't disturb their regulars. Order a pineapple bun and a Hong Kong-style tea, and get Instagramming. Coffee is really having a moment in Hong Kong right now, and there are dozens of excellent venues in Kowloon. One popular place with the arty crowd is Fullcup Café. Once you find the almost hidden entrance to the nondescript building, you'll uncover a multi-story space with mismatched décor, retro Scandinavian-style furniture, an outdoor terrace and a seriously relaxed vibe.
The patisserie at the Mira Hotel has the coolest, most cutting-edge cupcakes in town. Many of them are hollow and stuffed with Asian-inspired fillings, with innovative flavors such as fresh mango red velvet, or black sesame with adzuki beans and a green tea frosting. It also offers cakes of all shapes and sizes, as well as gorgeous, jewel-inspired pastries and chocolates.
When it's time to change gears and try some of Hong Kong's humbler offerings, the old district of Kowloon City has some great restaurants and snack shops. One of my favourites is Friendship Thai, a tiny, unassuming place that does really authentic and inexpensive Thai cuisine. In fact, Kowloon City is home to a large Thai diaspora, so you'll find plenty of excellent Thai restaurants and grocery shops there. For something a little harder to find in Hong Kong, there's also a famous restaurant, Islam Food, that serves dishes from the Xinjiang province of China, such as beef and mutton pancakes and la mian noodles. Again, the shop is not much to look at with its fluorescent lighting and hard chairs, but the food is awesome.
If I have guests in town, it's always worth taking them on the Aqua Luna. This stylish and stunning red-sailed teak junk has big comfy pillows for lounging and a fully-stocked bar. It does evening harbour cruises as well as daytime sailings to Stanley Market. Tours from Tsim Sha Tsui Pier, just outside the Cultural Centre, run at 5:30, 7:30 and 9:30pm. Once you've admired the sights, hop in a taxi to the Kwun Tong industrial area and visit Hidden Agenda, an achingly cool live performance venue that hosts local and overseas indie bands in its industrial factory space.
To me, Temple Street is the distilled essence of Kowloon-side. While most people come to visit the open-air night market, there's so much more to the area than meets the eye. After the main market, there's open-air Cantonese opera karaoke and fortune tellers gathered around the Tin Hau temple. You can spend an evening soaking up the atmosphere, before going for a slap-up seafood feast, which you eat street-side on folding tables.
Right next to Mong Kok East MTR station on Bute Street are several stalls where you can "sweep the street" and try all sorts of traditional hawker dishes. Curry fishballs are a Cantonese street food classic, but my favorite is the Chongqing noodles, which are marvelously spicy and sour; wash them down with a fresh coconut milk drink from the stall next door. For dessert, the hot waffle with butter, peanut butter, condensed milk and sugar is a so-worth-it calorie bomb.
Tsim Sha Tsui was actually Hong Kong's nightlife hub long before Lan Kwai Fong became popular. Knutsford Terrace is a pedestrian-only strip of bars and restaurants that are packed every weekend. If you're in the mood to dance, All Night Long has a great cover band that plays rock classics and cheesy hits late into the evening. If dancing ain't your thang, you'll be glad to know Hongkongers love karaoke, and many establishments are open 24 hours. Grab some friends, head to a private booth and sing your heart out. Neway has outlets all over the city, with a good selection of English-language hits.
While there are many posh hotels in Hong Kong, there aren't a lot of options for anyone seeking something a little more modest. That's why the newly opened Mei Ho House youth hostel has been getting so much buzz. The 129-room hostel is located in a former public housing estate built in 1954, and even has a permanent museum space where visitors can see how underprivileged Hongkongers live in the 1950s to 1970s; many in Hong Kong will be familiar with the architecture and the way of life from those days. Even if have your accommodation sorted, it's worth visiting the area for a taste of old Hong Kong.

Where are your must-stops in Kowloon?

As your new store is on Ashley Road, you should stop off at Ned Kelly's Last Stand (11 Ashley Road). Old time jazz band plays from 9pm to 1am every night. It's a fun, friendly pub and always crowded.

And great art!
And great art!
After I finished adventure and went through all the puzzles and mini-games, I gave myself a few days (nights) break, during which my right mind advocated that I don't want to be a hostage to the game anymore, so I haven't started it since.
Win. Simply win.
I lol'd really hard at the sidekick and his weapon. XD
Plants vs. Zombieeeeees! It's the simplest, cutest and yet inetresting game I've played recently! Okay, i have played like, what, 5 games in my life maybe, so my oppinion doesnt count I'm glad someone else's playing it as well.

When the film changes gears from light coming-of-age comedy to ex-post-facto war parable midway through, it loses its focus and suddenly becomes a much darker beast.
Somewhere in writer-director Giuseppe Tornatore's overstyled movie, about a 12-year-old boy (Sulfaro) during the Italian fascist period who has the hots for a mistreated war widow (Belluci), is a pretty good short story about the fickleness of community and the cruelty of gossip struggling to get out.
There is noting quite so awkward as a film that is one thing while it pretends to be another.
No period of Italian history has produced more great movies than the WWII years . But, Malena romanticizes and even sentimentalizes those years.
Striking photography, period detail, screen-filling crowd scenes, and veteran composer Morricone's score make this one worth seeing, but the sheer nastiness of the town's people drags it down.
You wish that Malena's inner life had been given as much accent as her outer charms.
In the end, Malena is an unlikable and foul farce, unworthy of Tornatore's previously gentle touch.
Malena the film is as beautiful and seductive as its heroine, with its ravishing Lajos Koltai cinematography and sweepingly romantic Ennio Morricone score.
Giuseppe Tornatore has long been a master of cheap sentiment ("Cinema Paradiso," " The Legend of 1900"), but his latest film is his most shallow, reprehensible exercise in nostalgia to date.
If Mussolini had a Monica Bellucci to inspire his troops, we might still be trying to take Palermo.
Too often seems like a slightly silly film.
Intriguing, containing a truthful kernel of sweetness, rot and brutality that will shock many.
Nothing new here except model-turned-actress Bellucci. To call her noteworthy would be an understatement.
Qualifies as director Giuseppe Tornatore's second full-fledged masterpiece. His first: "Cinema Paradiso."
What begins as a blushing, priapic opera buffa about coming of age turns into a verismo shocker, before softening into something mellower.
Things finally work out all right--except for audiences, who will find this thin movie bereft of the more richly textured sentiments of Tornatore's "Cinema Paradiso."
It differs from American films about the period in its evocation of day-to-day passion. The power of beauty is often dealt with in films, but not so often its powerful curse.
There's definitely some paradiso in watching Malena walking, but not enough to sustain almost two hours of cinema.
Combining a coming-of-age story with the sad odyssey of a woman punished for her beauty, the film ultimately has too little depth, subtlety, thematic consequence or contemporary relevance.
A nostalgic coming-of-age sex comedy tastefully lecherous enough to indicate that its intended demographic is several decades past puberty.

The plot is good and shows the European style of cinematography and especially the Italian one very nice. There would be no a better actress for the Malena role than Monica Bellucci. Also, the kids play so well like professionals and especially the boy who comes very close with Malena in the nude scene is a very good actor. Nice cast, wonderful directing in the whole movie but the only scene which stands out in directing is the scene where Malena is drugged in the square.… Full Review »

That's because it will calm some of the furor over the Transportation Security Administration's (TSA) sexual assaults at airports by reducing the "stripping … unpacking, and … groping." That's not to say it eliminates those atrocities — or their sponsor, the TSA. Rather, it places passengers ever more firmly under that perverted agency's thumb.
The new checkpoint consists of three lanes, " 'known traveler,' 'normal' and 'enhanced' security. Travelers, after presenting a passport or other document with a 'biometric identifier,' would be assigned to a lane based on 'a risk assessment conducted by the government before the passenger arrives at the airport,' " according to a press release from the International Air Transport Association (IATA), godfather of this scheme.
IATA is a "global trade organization" whose "mission is to represent, lead and serve the airline industry. Its members comprise some 230 airlines — the world's leading passenger and cargo airlines among them — representing 93 percent of scheduled international air traffic." [Original emphasis.]
These lobbyists with their mammoth clout gathered earlier this month for their annual meeting, during which they hyped the "checkpoint of the future." Why am I reminded of Adam Smith's observation that "People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public…"?
In IATA's case, that conspiracy consists of persuading passengers to accept the State's stranglehold on aviation while IATA pleads with its governmental "partners" to assume as much of the industry's operating expenses as possible. That's why you will never, ever hear the IATA call for disbanding the TSA regardless of how badly the agency abuses aviation's customers. So long as taxpayers foot the bill for "security," the TSA will molest us with the IATA's blessing.
Indeed, the IATA has been completely open about its goal of sticking taxpayers with its costs: "… too many governments single-out aviation to pay for its own security," insists the IATA's "director general," Giovanni Bisignani. "…Governments cannot justify protecting citizens in parks, stadiums and train stations but passing the buck to industry when citizens enter airports to board planes. … This is a wake-up call to governments to pay their bill. … Governments must now combine their best efforts to … properly fund measures to ensure that we are prepared for the threats of today — and those of tomorrow."
The IATA's domestic equivalent, the Air Transport Association of America (ATA), agrees. ATA is "the nation's oldest and largest airline trade association…" And it's just as candid that its "fundamental purpose is to foster a business and regulatory environment that ensures safe and secure air transportation. … ATA leads industry efforts to fashion crucial aviation policy and supports measures [sic for 'subsidies']." [Emphasis added.]
Both groups and such similar "associations" as the UN's International Civil Aviation Organization have a perverse incentive to encourage the TSA in its gate-rape. Indeed, the ATA brags that its members "collaborate with the government to protect passengers, crew, cargo and aircraft." They "work with the Department of Homeland Security, Transportation Security Administration and Customs and Border Protection on programs to implement security requirements effectively and efficiently to maximize the security benefits and minimize passenger/shipper inconvenience." We used to call this "fascism," and it scared the dickens out of our grandparents. Now lobbyists openly tout such "collaboration."
Then again, we can hardly blame the industry for cooperating. Leviathan has become so powerful it can instantly pulverize any airline refusing to kowtow.
Likewise, we can't fault aviators for their reluctance to waste money on "security." Prior to the TSA, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) minutely regulated every aspect of aviation's protection. Yes, "private" screeners manned the checkpoints the FAA mandated, but every procedure they followed and every question they asked came directly from the FAA's script.
Neither the procedures nor the questions made sense: they were mere "security theater" just as the TSA is. And the airlines resented paying for such absurdity as much as we do — or would, if the "security fee" on our tickets covered the full, annual cost of $8.2 billion rather than only 25% of it. (All taxpayers, not just passengers, pick up the other 75% whether or not they ever set foot in an airport.)
Look at it this way: if your town's council decreed that homeowners must use raccoon-proof garbage cans, would you buy the most expensive model after hours of diligently comparing manufacturers' claims of inviolability against pests? Or would you grab the cheapest available and curse the council?
Why would businessmen react any differently? A government's requiring something, however necessary or worthwhile, is the surest way to strip it of value. And it turned aviation's "security" into such a caricature that 19 terrorists easily circumvented it one morning in 2001.
Tragically, IATA's "solution" to this danger is not the TSA's abolition but a surrender of more money and power to government. "To access the fastest lane, 'known traveler,' you would have to register and submit to a government background check. You would probably also pay a fee to participate, Kenneth Dunlap, IATA's global director of security and travel facilitation, said..."
Expect the fee to be stiff; when the TSA "tested and abandoned" a similar idea "a few years back, ... travelers were typically charged around $100 to undergo a background check and get access to shorter checkpoint lines…"
That's bad enough. But what about the additional information on us — and power — government will accrue?
We already travel only with Our Rulers' permission. Indeed, we've needed that permission for international journeys since the early twentieth century, when the Feds began requiring passports before we could return home. Yet the Constitution never authorizes government to control comings or goings across the national border, and it certainly doesn't allow internal policing of travel, either. No matter: the Feds busily compile blacklists of "terrorists" who may not fly. They also compel airlines to collect our full name, date of birth, and sex when we reserve a seat; bureaucrats then compare these "passenger manifests" against their blacklists. The TSA calls this totalitarian outrage "Secure Flight, the … behind-the-scenes watch list matching program…" "Behind-the-scenes" is right: Secure Flight is so obscure most Americans deny their serfdom nor realize they fly only at the sufferance of their masters.
The IATA's scam will excuse government's wresting far more information than names and dates of birth from us — Social Security numbers and biometrics to start, perhaps eventually credit or medical histories, library records, and whatever else a bureaucrat itches to know. What will the Feds do with this data? Given their expanding definition of "terrorist," will they "detain" passengers delinquent with their income-taxes or re-payment of their student-loans at the checkpoint? The TSA already harasses its critics; how much more so under the extensive databases the IATA proposes? Try denouncing the TSA's latest power-grab in a letter to the editor and see how quickly you switch lanes from "known traveler" to "enhanced security."
"Passengers should be able to get from curb to boarding gate with dignity,"IATA's Giovanni Bisignani says. Yep. But that means abolishing, not further empowering, the TSA.

that's awesome
I signed up to this sight solely for CnC game mods and groups.Since then i have started to get mods for all my games .Any recommendations as to which I should download or join?(I have no modding skills myself).
that's awesome
3 banshees beats 1 MK2.
1MK2 beats entire nod base.
think i'll take the MK2.
do you have steam?if so can you mod steam games
is progress still slow?Really looking forward to the mod when releases.
i want that stuff!
true but the CAMPAIGN was very different (i would think) from what Westwood would have done.
True but the original c&c method was tried and tested and it worked for all of Westwood's games.
P.S. the beta for c&c4 was no different from the final release,besides a few extra options in skirmish mode.
No,Westwood's version was going to end after c&c3.It was going to be called tiberian twilight and anyway Westwood didn't design the games so it's not their legacy,their legacy is everything before that.Westwood never intended for the series to end up like it is now,they would never have changed the game so drastically.Show me proof of the plan for the series written up thirteen years ago and maybe I'll believe you.
(P.S. try to spell better.)
A bug I noticed is when you sell the confederate gate you get a peacekeeper and their walls don't attach properly.
will the mod work on ra2 as well as yuris revenge?
I'm not!
Yes I play them but I didn't want to list them all.
I hate the stupid game.C&C 3 with TE mod,tib sun and ra2 is what I play.
how do I install the mod?(step by step if possible).
is cabal going to be a faction?
What if Westwood took the place of EA,that would be perfect.
Their baby would rule the planet!
Yay I haz friend :)
Quite simply,NO.
why can't you put these on vgar?
looks good,invite me please.
what is it?
EA will never be forgiven for what they've done.
i like this one the most.
will there be base building with all crawlers (i hope so) or just with defense class like in C&C4?
Do you like EA or not?You cant like both WW and EA.
yay it lives!
i have played every tiberian saga game except for tib dawn.and C&C 4 ends with kane activating the scrin tower(which looks pathetic inside),which activates a portal inside the tower which kane(and i think 6000 of his followers)go through.the portal also drains all of the tiberium left on the planet.
you could look it up on youtube if you want to see it.
watching this ending always brings good memories.
very nice

A tranquil place to wind down after the hectic Miami Beach experience. Great roof terrace with views of the ocean, complimentary towels, & beds on the beach just across the road. Unheated ground floor pool plus Spa on roof. Impeccable service. Great location for the Miami Beach vibe.
