Microsoft filed a landmark lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Justice on Thursday. The company accuses the federal government of adopting a widespread, unconstitutional policy of looking through Microsoft customers' data - and forcing the company to keep quiet about it. Over the past 18 months, federal judges have approved 2,600 secret searches of Microsoft customers. In two-thirds of those cases, Microsoft can't even notify their customers that they've been searched - ever - because there's no expiration date on these judicial orders. At issue here is the 1986 Electronic Communications Privacy Act, which creates a double standard when it comes to a person's right to know when police are rummaging through their stuff. "People do not give up their rights when they move their private information from physical storage to the cloud," Microsoft says in its lawsuit. "The government, however, has exploited the transition to cloud computing as a means of expanding its power to conduct secret investigations." In its lawsuit, Microsoft claims that federal agents have been violating the company's First Amendment right to speak to its own customers, as well as their customers' Fourth Amendment right to know when they're being searched. This lawsuit also notes the odd, modern distinction that the government makes between searching your computer and searching your information on a company's computer. Law enforcement agents often remain covert when they dig through information stored on company data backup services.

The Justice Department has announced that it is resuming a controversial practice that allows local police departments to funnel a large portion of assets seized from citizens into their own coffers under federal law. The "Equitable Sharing Program" gives police the option of prosecuting some asset forfeiture cases under federal instead of state law. Federal forfeiture policies are more permissive than many state policies, allowing police to keep up to 80 percent of assets they seize. Asset forfeiture is a contentious practice that lets police seize and keep cash and property from people who are never convicted of wrongdoing - and in many cases, never charged. Use of the practice has exploded in recent years, prompting concern that, in some cases, police are motivated more by profit and less by justice. A wide-ranging Washington Post investigation in 2014 found that police had seized $2.5 billion in cash alone without warrants or indictments since 2001. In response, then-Attorney General Eric Holder announced new restrictions on some federal asset forfeiture practices. Asset forfeiture is fast growing - in 2014, for instance, federal authorities seized more than $5 billion in assets. That's more than the value of assets lost in every single burglary that year. Reformers had hoped that the suspension of the program in December was a signal that the Justice Department was looking for ways to rein in the practice. But that no longer appears to be the case.
Note: Some police decide what property to seize based on departmental "wish lists". For more along these lines, see concise summaries of deeply revealing news articles about government corruption and the erosion of civil liberties.
The CIA took naked photographs of people it sent to its foreign partners for torture. A former US official who had seen some of the photographs described them as "very gruesome". In some of the photos, which remain classified, CIA captives are blindfolded, bound and show visible bruises. Some photographs also show people believed to be CIA officials or contractors alongside the naked detainees. It is not publicly known how many people ... were caught in the CIA's web of so-called "extraordinary renditions", extra-judicial transfers of detainees to foreign countries, many of which practised even more brutal forms of torture than the US came to adopt. Human rights groups over the years have identified at least 50 people the CIA rendered, going back to Bill Clinton's presidency. "Is the naked photography a form of sexual assault? Yes. It's a form of sexual humiliation," said Dr Vincent Iacopino, the medical director of Physicians for Human Rights. "It's cruel, inhumane and degrading treatment at a minimum and may constitute torture," he said. International human rights law, to include the Geneva conventions, forbids photographing prisoners except in extremely limited circumstances related to their detention, to include anything that might compromise their dignity. The CIA is known to have employed nudity in other aspects of its custody of terrorism suspects. Often the nudity occurred in tandem with other torture techniques, such as shackling and frigid conditions, leading in at least one case to a detainee's death.

Government lawyers on Thursday continued their fight to bury the Senate Torture Report, arguing before the D.C. District Court of Appeals that the 6,700-page text could not be released on procedural grounds. When the 500-page executive summary of the report was released more than a year ago, it prompted international outcry and renewed calls for prosecution. The summary describes not only the CIA's rape and torture of detainees, but also how the agency consistently misrepresented the brutality and effectiveness of the torture program. But many of the most graphic details are in Volume III of the full report, which former Senate Intelligence Committee chair Dianne Feinstein has said contains "excruciating" details on "each of the 119 known individuals who were held in CIA custody." On the same day the executive summary was released, the Intelligence Committee sent copies of the full report to executive branch agencies with instructions ... that they be used "as broadly as appropriate to make sure that this experience is never repeated." Last year, after succeeding Feinstein as chair, Sen. Richard Burr, R-Ga., requested that the copies distributed to federal agencies be returned to Congress, prompting a legal standoff. In the meantime ... the Justice Department has "refuse[d] to allow executive branch officials to review the full and final study."

The Justice Department is asking local courts across the country to be wary of how they slap poor defendants with fines and fees. In a letter ... to the chief judges and court administrators in all 50 states, Vanita Gupta, the head of the department's Civil Rights Division, and Lisa Foster, director of the Office for Access to Justice, wrote that illegal enforcement of fines and fees had been receiving increased attention. "Individuals may confront escalating debt; face repeated, unnecessary incarceration for nonpayment despite posing no danger to the community; lose their jobs; and become trapped in cycles of poverty that can be nearly impossible to escape," Gupta and Foster wrote. "Furthermore, in addition to being unlawful, to the extent that these practices are geared ... toward raising revenue, they can cast doubt on the impartiality of the tribunal and erode trust between local governments and their constituents." The White House and the department convened a summit on the issue in December. The Justice Department alleged in a recent lawsuit that officers in Ferguson, Mo., were violating citizens' civil rights in part because their policing tactics were meant to generate revenue. The financial penalties - typically for minor misdemeanors, traffic infractions or violations of city code - disproportionately affect the poor, who cannot afford to pay immediately and are then hit with arrest warrants or additional penalties. Some towns [derive] 40 percent or more of their annual revenue from [these] petty fines and fees.
Note: Along with relying on municipal fines and fees that disproportionately impact the poor, some police departments simply steal from people when times get tough. For more along these lines, see concise summaries of deeply revealing news articles about government corruption and income inequality.
Federal prosecutors declined to bring charges against law enforcement officers in the United States facing allegations of civil rights violations in 96 percent of such cases between 1995 and 2015, according to an investigation by the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review newspaper. The newspaper examined nearly 3 million U.S. Justice Department records related to how the department's 94 U.S. attorney's offices across the country ... handled civil rights cases against officers. The data included cases referred to the Justice Department by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and other agencies. Overall, prosecutors turned down 12,703 potential civil rights violations out of 13,233 total complaints. By contrast, prosecutors rejected only about 23 percent of referrals in all other types of criminal cases. The findings could bolster arguments by activists, such as those involved in the Black Lives Matter movement, who claim police officers are rarely held criminally responsible for their misconduct. The report comes just days after the U.S. attorney in Manhattan, Preet Bharara, announced he would not press charges against a white officer who killed an unarmed black teenager inside his own apartment in 2012. The most common reasons that prosecutors cited for declining to bring civil rights cases against officers were weak or insufficient evidence, lack of criminal intent and orders from the Justice Department.

The "sneak-and-peek" provision of the Patriot Act that was alleged to be used only in national security and terrorism investigations has overwhelmingly been used in narcotics cases. Now the New York Times reports that National Security Agency data will be shared with other intelligence agencies like the FBI without first applying any screens for privacy. The ACLU of Massachusetts blog Privacy SOS explains [that] domestic law enforcement officials now have access to huge troves of American communications, obtained without warrants, that they can use to put people in cages. This basically formalizes what was already happening. We've known for a couple of years now that the Drug Enforcement Administration and the IRS were getting information from the NSA. Because that information was obtained without a warrant, the agencies were instructed to engage in "parallel construction" when explaining to courts and defense attorneys how the information had been obtained. It certainly isn't the only time that that national security apparatus has let law enforcement agencies benefit from policies that are supposed to be reserved for terrorism investigations in order to get around the Fourth Amendment, then instructed those law enforcement agencies to misdirect, fudge and outright lie about how they obtained incriminating information. This isn't just a few rogue agents. The lying has been a matter of policy.

692 felony convictions in California ... were thrown out between 1989 and 2012 based on errors or misconduct by police, prosecutors, defense lawyers or judges, according to a new study by researchers at UC Berkeley and the University of Pennsylvania. The report ... didn't include misdemeanor cases, which amount to about 80 percent of all prosecutions, or juvenile cases. And it also excluded the costs of jailing people who were later released without charges, which may amount to $70 million a year, the report said. The study examined only records from California and ... looked at cases in which felony convictions were overturned and the defendants were later cleared. More than half the cases involved prosecutors' wrongful withholding of evidence. One example was that of former Black Panther Elmer "Geronimo" Pratt. Pratt was convicted in 1972 of murdering schoolteacher Carolyn Olson [in 1968] and was sentenced to life in prison, based in part on [witness] testimony. He was freed in 1999 after a judge found that prosecutors had withheld evidence that the witness was an informant for the FBI, which was then trying to discredit Pratt as part of its Cointelpro campaign. The authors questioned long-standing laws that shield prosecutors from lawsuits by criminal defendants. They said they knew of no other profession that received immunity for "intentional wrongdoing that gravely injures another."

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has quietly developed a new way to measure its success in the war on terror: counting the number of terror threats it has "disrupted" in a year. In the section on "Performance Measures" in the FBI's latest financial statement, the bureau reports 440 "terror disruptions" in the 12-month period ending on September 30, 2015. That's ... more than three times the 2015 "target" of 125. In a vacuum, that would appear to suggest that the FBI's terror-fighting mission - which sucked ... 54 percent of the bureau's $9.8 billion budget in 2015 - is exceeding expectations. But that number - 440 - is much higher than the number of arrests reported by the FBI. The Washington Post counted about 60 terror-related arrests in 2015. Of those arrests, many were of people trying to travel abroad or trying to help others do so. Many more involved people planning attacks that were essentially imaginary, often goaded by FBI informants. There was only one genuinely "foiled attack" in the United States between January 2014 and September 2015. And that one ... was stopped by the local police department. The fact that the agency establishes a target for terrorism disruptions is also troubling, said Michael German, a former FBI agent.
Note: The FBI has made a habit of manufacturing "terrorist plots" from thin air. Now it appears that activities reminiscent of COINTELPRO are again being carried out to justify massive anti-terrorism spending.

Local councils, public bodies and even some university student unions are to be banned by law from boycotting "unethical" companies. All publicly funded institutions will lose the freedom to refuse to buy goods and services from companies involved in the arms trade, fossil fuels, tobacco products or Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank. Any public bodies that continue to pursue boycotts will face "severe penalties", ministers said. Underlining the main target of the ban, the formal announcement will be made by the Cabinet Office minister Matt Hancock when he visits Israel this week. Israeli companies, along with other firms which have investments in the occupied West Bank, have been among those targeted by unofficial boycotts in the past. In 2014 Leicester City Council passed a policy to boycott goods produced in Israeli settlements in the West Bank while the Scottish Government published a procurement notice to Scottish councils which "strongly discourages trade and investment from illegal settlements". Mr. Hancock said the current position where local authorities had autonomy to make ethical purchasing decisions was "undermining" Britain's national security.

There were 149 people exonerated in the United States last year after being wrongly convicted of crimes. More than a third of the people exonerated were convicted of murder, says a report released Wednesday by the National Registry of Exonerations, a project of the University of Michigan Law School and the Northwestern University School of Law. All of the people exonerated last year ... had served an average of more than 14 years in prison. Five of the people who were exonerated had been sentenced to death. All told, the National Registry says it has logged 1,733 exonerations in the country since 1989. "Not long ago, any exoneration we heard about was major news," the report stated. "Now it's a familiar story. We average nearly three exonerations a week, and most get little attention." There are also more exonerations in cases involving false confessions or guilty pleas than there used to be. In four of 10 exonerations last year, the people had pleaded guilty, largely in cases involving charges of drug possession. About a third of all exonerations last year involved these drug possession cases. A remarkable number of these cases occurred in just one place: Harris County, Tex., home to Houston. The registry's report described how the Harris County District Attorney's office had investigated cases after noticing a number of people who pleaded guilty to possessing illegal drugs, only for a crime lab - sometimes months or years later - to reveal that the materials these people had were not drugs after all.
Note: Most false convictions never see the light of the day. A detailed report by forensics expert John Kelly and former FBI chief scientist Dr. Frederick Whitehurst reveals "a drug testing regime of fraudulent forensics used by police, prosecutors, and judges." And recently the FBI was found to have faked an entire branch of forensic science.

Canada's electronic spy agency broke privacy laws by sharing information about Canadians with foreign partners, a federal watchdog said Thursday. Commissioner Jean-Pierre Plouffe said in his annual report that the Communications Security Establishment passed along information known as metadata to counterparts in the United States, Britain, Australia and New Zealand. Metadata is information associated with a communication, such as a telephone number or email address, but not the message itself. The communications agency intercepts and analyzes foreign communications for intelligence information of interest to the federal government. The agency is legally authorized to collect and analyze metadata churning through cyberspace. Plouffe, who keeps an eye on the highly secretive agency, said he found that it lacks clarity regarding the sharing of certain types of metadata. Defense Minister Harjit Sajjan said the sharing won't resume until he is satisfied that the proper protections are in place. Plouffe's report noted that certain metadata was not being properly minimized, or rendered unidentifiable, prior to being shared. The CSE's failure to strip out certain Canadian identity information violated the National Defense Act and therefore the federal Privacy Act as well. Privacy advocates have stressed that metadata is far from innocuous since it can reveal a great deal about a person's online behavior and interactions.
Note: Many countries do not allow their intelligence agencies to spy on their own citizens without going through a legal process. The easy way around this that has been used for decades is to simply getting the information from a friendly country. So if the CIA wants information on you in the US, they can't spy directly, but they can ask the UK to do so and pass the information to them and thus get around the laws.

The Flint water crisis continues to generate headlines, but the negligence and mismanagement of public resources in largely minority communities reaches far beyond the borders of that central Michigan city. Across the country, blacks and Latinos are more likely than whites to live dangerously close to environmental hazards. Connecticut is among the states with the worst disparities, with a higher proportion of poor minorities living near facilities that use, store, process or emit harmful chemicals, according to the Center for Effective Government report released this month. Nationwide, proximity to such sites increases the risk of death, disease and other poor health outcomes. Flint's water problems are more complex than simple proximity to an industrial facility. In a bid to save the financially ailing city money on its water supply infrastructure in 2014, Flint officials stopped sourcing water from a Detroit supplier that took proper anti-contamination measures. Instead, it drew from the contaminated Flint River through pipes without proper chemicals, resulting in dangerous levels of lead, E. coli and other contaminants in darkly colored and odiferous water for the city's 100,000 residents. For months, residents complained to state and local officials in Michigan about the contaminated water. But instead of a swift response to clean it up, officials scrambled to minimize liability and convince residents that they were safe to shower, drink and cook with the water.

A national debate has played out over mass surveillance by the National Security Agency. [Meanwhile], a new generation of technology ... has given local law enforcement officers unprecedented power to peer into the lives of citizens. The powerful systems also have become flash points for civil libertarians and activists. "This is something that's been building since September 11," said Jennifer Lynch, a senior staff attorney at the Electronic Frontier Foundation. "First funding went to the military to develop this technology, and now it has come back to domestic law enforcement. It's the perfect storm of cheaper and easier-to-use technologies and money from state and federal governments to purchase it." But perhaps the most controversial and revealing technology is the threat-scoring software Beware. As officers respond to calls, Beware automatically runs the address. The searches return the names of residents and scans them ... to generate a color-coded threat level for each person or address: green, yellow or red. Exactly how Beware calculates threat scores is something that its maker, Intrado, considers a trade secret, so ... only Intrado - not the police or the public - knows how Beware tallies its scores. The system might mistakenly increase someone's threat level by misinterpreting innocuous activity on social media, like criticizing the police, and trigger a heavier response by officers.

Saudi Arabia's well-funded public relations apparatus moved quickly after Saturday's explosive execution of Shiite political dissident Nimr al-Nimr to shape how the news is covered in the United States. The execution led protestors in Shiite-run Iran to set fire to the Saudi Embassy in Tehran, precipitating a major diplomatic crisis. The Saudi side of the story is getting a particularly effective boost in the American media through pundits who are quoted justifying the execution, in many cases without mention of their funding or close affiliation with the Saudi Arabian government. Meanwhile, social media accounts affiliated with Saudi Arabia's American lobbyists have pushed English-language infographics, tweets, and online videos to promote a narrative that reflects the interests of the Saudi regime. An editorial published by the Wall Street Journal approvingly quoted Joseph Braude of the Foreign Policy Research Institute claiming that Nimr was a violent extremist. Braude's depiction of Nimr aligns with ... Saudi Arabia's terrorism law, [which] includes as acts of terrorism merely criticizing the government. But as journalists and editors from the Christian Science Monitor, The Guardian, the BBC, and other prominent outlets have reported, Nimr advocated nonviolence and encouraged his followers to protest peacefully. Braude did not provide any evidence for his claims beyond anonymous "Saudi sources."

The Transportation Security Administration's new rules for screening passengers with its controversial full-body scanners - which were quietly changed just before the busy holiday travel season - represent a significant policy reversal that could affect your next flight. Getting checked by the TSA's advanced-imaging technology used to be entirely optional, allowing those who refused a scan to be subjected to a pat-down. In fact, many observers thought the agency installed the 740 body scanners in 160 airports with an understanding that no one would be forced to use them, ever. But on a Friday in late December, the TSA revised its rules, saying an "opt out" is no longer an option for certain passengers. "The TSA is going back on its word," says Fred Cate, a law professor at Indiana University and prominent TSA-watcher. "The scanners were sold to Congress and the public on the promise that they were optional, but for at least some people, that is no longer the case." In previous court filings, the agency offered written assurance that the scanners were optional. Based on the agency's statements, a federal appeals court affirmed the legality of using the full-body scanners as long as fliers were given a choice.

In April 2012, a Kansas SWAT team raided the home of Robert and Addie Harte, their 7-year-old daughter and their 13-year-old son. The couple, both former CIA analysts, awoke to pounding at the door. The family was then held at gunpoint for more than two hours while the police searched their home. They found no evidence of any criminal activity. The investigation leading to the raid began ... when Robert Harte and his son went to a gardening store to purchase supplies to grow hydroponic tomatoes. The Johnson County Sheriff's Department began [sending] deputies out to sort through the family's garbage. The deputies repeatedly found "saturated plant material" that they thought could possibly be marijuana. On two occasions, a drug testing field kit inexplicably indicated the presence of THC, the active drug in marijuana. Lab tests would later reveal that the "saturated plant material" was actually loose-leaf tea. Why did the field tests come up positive for pot? These tests come up positive whenever the police need them to. The tests [can] be manipulated to generate positive results. The Hartes wanted to know what happened. They spent more than $25,000 in legal fees just to learn why the sheriff had sent a SWAT team into their home. Once they finally had that information, the Hartes filed a lawsuit. U.S. District Court Judge John W. Lungstrum dismissed every one of the Hartes's claims, [and] ruled that the police were under no obligation to know that drug testing field kits are inaccurate.

Nearly a thousand times this year, an American police officer has shot and killed a civilian. In a year-long study, The Washington Post found that ... the great majority of people who died at the hands of the police fit at least one of three categories: they were wielding weapons, they were suicidal or mentally troubled, or they ran when officers told them to halt. Although black men make up only 6 percent of the U.S. population, they account for 40 percent of the unarmed men shot to death by police this year. The FBI is charged with keeping statistics on such shootings. Fewer than half of the nation's 18,000 police departments report their incidents to the agency. The Post documented well more than twice as many fatal shootings this year as the average annual tally reported by the FBI over the past decade. The research also noted whether victims were mentally ill or experiencing an emotional crisis. Officers fatally shot at least 243 people with mental health problems: 75 who were explicitly suicidal and 168 for whom police or family members confirmed a history of mental illness. Most of them died at the hands of police officers who had not been trained to deal with the mentally ill. An average of five officers per year have been indicted on felony charges over the previous decade; this year, 18 officers have been charged with felonies. Such accusations rarely stick, however.
Note: A similar project run by The Guardian called "The Counted" tracks police killings by all methods - not just shootings - and had noted 1117 such deaths in 2015 as the above story went to press.

Navy SEALs stomped on ... bound Afghan detainees and dropped heavy stones on their chests. A few hours earlier, shortly after dawn on May 31, 2012, a bomb had exploded at a checkpoint manned by an Afghan Local Police unit that the SEALs were training. Angered by the death of one of their comrades in the blast, the police militiamen had rounded up half a dozen or more suspects from a market in the village of Kalach and forced them to a nearby American outpost. Along the way, they beat them. A United States Army medic standing guard at the base, Specialist David Walker, had expected the men from SEAL Team 2 to put a stop to the abuse. Instead, he said, one of them "jump-kicked this guy kneeling on the ground." Two others joined in, [and] beat the detainees so badly that by dusk, one would die. Four American soldiers working with the SEALs reported the episode. The SEAL command, though, cleared the Team 2 members of wrongdoing in a closed disciplinary process that is typically used only for minor infractions. Two of the SEALs and their lieutenant have since been promoted. Several military justice experts ... said that it had been inappropriate for the SEAL command to treat such allegations as an internal disciplinary matter. "It's unfathomable," said Donald J. Guter, a retired rear admiral and former judge advocate general of the Navy, in charge of all its lawyers. "It really does look like this was intended just to bury this."

More than 3,000 indigenous children and youth died in residential schools - many of them buried in unmarked graves - and those who had the power to prevent these deaths did little to stop it. The heartbreaking details of those deaths are contained in the final report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) released Tuesday, which details the dark history and unsettling legacy of Canadian residential schools that saw 150,000 First Nations, Métis and Inuit children come through their doors. "Many students who went to residential school never returned," says the final report. "They died at rates that were far higher than those experienced by the general school-aged population. Their parents were often uninformed. No one took care to count how many died or to record where they were buried." says the final report, [which] includes a volume titled "Missing Children and Unmarked Burials" detailing the circumstances, when known, of the 3,201 students deaths between 1867 and 2000 it was able to record. "Both the regulatory regime in which the schools operated and the level of compliance with that regime were inadequate to the task of protecting the health and safety of the students. "Government, church, and school officials were well aware of these failures and their impact on student health. If the question is, 'Who knew what when?' the clear answer is, 'Everyone in authority at any point in the system's history was well aware of the health and safety conditions in the schools,' " the report concludes.
Note: A recent BBC report goes deeper into the role of these schools in Canada's "cultural genocide" of First Nation peoples. For more along these lines, see concise summaries of deeply revealing civil liberties news articles from reliable major media sources.

Paso's first choice for police chief declines job offer
By NICK POWELL
The San Diego Police Department captain who wooed Paso Robles residents and officials with his 29 years of law enforcement experience and "positive air of confidence" during recent community interview panels withdrew his candidacy to become the city's next chief of police, Mayor Duane Picanco revealed in a Jan. 3 press release.
According to Picanco, Manny Guaderrama's decision was based at least partially on compensation and the fact that his wife would have to close her business to move to Paso Robles. The police chief position comes with a $157,644 salary, according to a human resources executive salary document.
Interim Police Chief Robert Burton has run the department since former chief Lisa Solomon resigned in March 2012 amid allegations of sexual harassment, unfair retaliation, and illegal traffic-ticket quotas. Burton will continue to act as chief until a permanent replacement can be found, Picanco wrote, and the professional services firm charged with finding a new chief will reinitiate the search without charging the city extra, a process that Picanco estimated would take another five months.
City Manager Jim App said that more than 60 applicants were whittled down to the top six candidates, all of which were amply qualified for the post but failed to mesh well with community leaders and police department employees, except Guaderrama. Thus, the entire process will have to begin anew.
"It's pretty subjective, but it all comes down to who fits with the community and the department," App said. "The selection process will continue until we find the right person."
In an odd break from normal procedure, App announced in early December that Guaderrama was the city's preferred finalist, citing public pressure to reveal the decision. This came before staff had a chance to perform a proper background check and before the job was formally offered or accepted.

TROUTDALE, Ore. — A man arrested for shoplifting on Saturday morning had his skateboard confiscated by police. So, on Saturday afternoon, officers said he tried — and failed — to break into the police department to get it back.
A Troutdale officer noticed a door handle missing from the station's main entrance on Saturday night. A check of the building's surveillance system showed an attempted break-in at 2:15 p.m. that day.
Officers recognized the suspect as Nathaniel Mirelez, 20, of Wood Village. He had been arrested on shoplifting charges Saturday morning. At 9 a.m. Monday, Troutdale police again arrested Mirelez, this time on charges of attempted burglary, criminal mischief and theft.

Game Creek Video and New Century Productions have begun using a new design. Their adoption of HDTV has given rise to a design concept where routers can address everything from monitors to external connector panels. The ability to save and recall settings systemwide allows them to quickly configure the production environment and minimize setup time. Diversified Systems assisted in engineering and integrating these trucks.
New Century required two production units. NCP VII was designed to handle the largest shows in television, while NCP IV was built for weekly network sports productions. ESPN, CBS and FOX are the primary clients for these mobile units.
Two new trucks built for Game Creek are identical, although the requirements for their intended network destinations — ESPN and YES Network — had quite different production requirements. Designing a flexible infrastructure allowed Game Creek to keep costs under control by using a single design and duplicating the installation.
A key decision in the construction of all these trucks was adoption of SD monitoring for the majority of the sources. The trucks use HD monitors only in critical viewing areas. The teams installed downconverting distribution amplifiers on all sources and tied control of the HD program router to an SD composite router for monitoring. This provided a transparent monitoring solution for the production crew while significantly lowering the cost of monitoring.
Evertz provided distribution, up/downconversion, crossconverters and frame syncs, all controlled by their network control panels. Many different technologies were applied to achieve the level of flexibility required by the end users.
These next-generation trucks can be seen at major sporting and entertainment events throughout the country.

Skype 5.2 for Mac launched
It looks like Skype has managed to turn out yet another update to its now super slick Mac video calling software.
The 5.2 release brings with it group screen sharing, meaning you can share all your exciting spreadsheets with your bestest pals. All this video sharing fun comes at a price however, with one member of the party needing to have a Skype Premium subscription in order to benefit from the functionality.
Also included is video enabled call control bar. What does this mean you might ask? Well essentially minimized video windows can still be viewed on the control bar. You can hang up on somebody or mute them but still see what they are up to, allowing you to use other programs and multitask properly while video calling.
The conversations sidebar has now also been de-cluttered, bringing with it a much cleaner approach towards finding your most active chats, which are now grouped under recents.
For those who want to find out more about what is new in Skype 5.2, head to its very own tricks and tips page for a full feature breakdown.
Don't forget that Skype also finally made the decision to bring its video calling over to Android last week. A must try app for those who use Google-powered devices.

I don't know whether 5.Nc3 is best, but I don't like it. The resulting pawn formation is similar to the Spanish exchange with color reversed. The difference is that, in the Spanish exchange, in return for the damaged pawn structure, Black receives a compensation which is the possession of two bishops and open center. In this particular game, White does not receive a similar benefit. So I think 5.Nc3 is inferior.
Tell it to Anand
Top players play all kinds of sub-optimal moves. Their purpose is to avoid the opponent's preparation. Just because Anand plays it, it doesn't mean that the move is the best.
I whole-heartedly agree with you.
To make this a peaceful conversation: 5.d4 and 5.Nc3 both do not lead to a white win, objectively speaking (if both sides play correctly, the game ends in a draw; I guess this is at least the opinion of the majority of GMs).
The question which one of the two moves raises more positional problems for Black is - from this point of view - less important.
On the other hand, even if my impression that 5.d4 is 'better' would be a valid statement , it is perhaps not true from the practical point of view:
The defense tools against 5.d4 have been demonstrated in many games of the leading world players, who play often the Petroff with both colours.
I dare to say this is not true for me.
I meant that I have no fear to play with Black against the plan with Nc3.
The Petroff does appear to mostly be a draw. I had just been studying it, but I forgot about the queenside castling. If I were to castle queenside, the doubled c pawns would be an advantage in the middle game because it would add protection to the king. Also, 3. Nxe5 is main line Petroff, so I'm not sure what that is about.

Lucas shines as coach who changed college basketball
Published: Friday, January 13, 2006 at 3:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, January 13, 2006 at 12:00 a.m.
DETROIT -- "I just don't see myself in one of those big Jerry Bruckheimer movies," said Josh Lucas, visiting Detroit in 2002.
'Glory Road'
Rating: PG for racial issues including violence and
epithets, mild language
Length: 109 minutes
Theaters: Hollywood 20, Carmike 7, Spartan 16
That was a few weeks before the opening of the romantic comedy "Sweet Home Alabama," in which Lucas co-starred with Reese Witherspoon. Back then, Hollywood said this would be the breakout film for Lucas. His laid-back affability, all-American good looks and penetrating blue eyes had already drawn comparisons to the young Paul Newman; in 2004, Lucas would play the young Newman in the HBO movie "Empire Falls."
Almost four years later, Lucas is back in Detroit, accompanied by none other than Bruckheimer, to beat the drum for Bruckheimer's "Glory Road," opening today, in which Lucas stars. But before we pronounce Lucas guilty of movie-biz insincerity, let Bruckheimer mount a defense.
"You know, there was a time when that label had some meaning, I suppose, even if it wasn't always used affectionately," Bruckheimer says. "But things change. These days, I do a lot more than that."
"Glory Road" is based on the true story of legendary Texas Western basketball coach Don Haskins, who in 1966 fielded the first college basketball team with five black players as the starting lineup, and led it to the NCAA finals.
Lucas plays Haskins as a driven young coach determined to do whatever it takes to make his team a real competitor. Derek Luke, last seen suiting up for football in "Friday Night Lights," plays Bobby Joe Hill, the streetwise small guard Haskins built the team around.
Ben Affleck, who rose to stardom in the Bruckheimer films "Armageddon" and "Pearl Harbor," was set to play Haskins, but he dropped out shortly before production was to begin.
"Everybody we talked to about Haskins used the same words to describe him, and one of them was 'gentlemanly,' " Bruckheimer says. "There's a lot of good leading men out there, but how many would you really describe like that?"
I knew Josh's work, and I thought this was a guy who could look tough enough on the court and be a convincing family man with his wife and kids, and convey that sense of conviction and fairness that everyone says Don has.
"We weren't making a documentary here, but it was important that people who really knew Don -- like Tim Floyd, who was Don's assistant coach -- thought he was portrayed correctly. And after Tim saw Josh, he was satisfied, and that was good enough for me."
Lucas took the role seriously. "This is the movie I've most loved being a part of, hands down," he says. "That said, it was the one I felt the most pressure making. Not only did I have the real Don Haskins looking at me, I had also Tim Floyd (currently coaching the Southern Cal Spartans) and Pat Riley -- three extraordinary world-class coaches."
The game is so legendary that it and the games running up to it are recalled constantly on cable sports shows. Sporting News ranks it as the fifth most historic sporting event of all time, and a book, "And the Walls Came Tumbling Down: Kentucky, Texas Western and the Game That Changed College Sports" by Frank Fitzpatrick, is devoted to it.
Lucas, like a real coach, spent a lot of time in his trailer watching game film.
"We tried to replicate the game, the actual plays, as closely as we could, while building them into the story.
"There are moments you have to veer away from what actually happened, in order to be get closer to the dramatic truth. For example, we have the players complaining about Haskins' training methods, when no one, no one was ever allowed to even speak on Don Haskins' practice court, much less talk back. But we have to build the characters and be true to what kind of people they were, and show why there was conflict between these players and this coach."

Rolen topples Reds
St. Louis used a dramatic hit to take two of three in the NL Central showdown.
ST. LOUIS -- Scott Rolen enjoys pressure.
Rolen tied the score with a home run in the seventh inning, then hit a winning single in the ninth that led St. Louis over the Cincinnati Reds 2-1 Thursday and boosted the Cardinals' NL Central lead back to 2 1/2 games.
"The at-bats that are tough are ones in 8-1, 9-1, 10-1 games," Rolen said. "Those are filling up stat sheets. I enjoy the competitiveness of an at-bat. Today, every at-bat was worthwhile. Every at-bat was meaningful."
Ken Griffey Jr. put Cincinnati ahead in the seventh against Jeff Weaver with his 25th homer of the season. It also was the 561st of his career, which moved him within two of Reggie Jackson for 10th place on the career list.
The drive, which came after Griffey fouled off six straight pitches, was his 1,042nd extra-base hit, breaking a tie with Pete Rose for 20th place.
"He wasn't going to give in," Griffey said. "That's just a guy out there competing who's not going to take anything for granted. I didn't give in."
Rolen hit his 17th homer of the season, his first since Aug. 7 at Cincinnati, in the bottom half off Kyle Lohse.
"I'm not up there trying to hit a home run," Rolen said.
Chris Duncan, who had three hits in each game of the three-game series, singled off Ryan Franklin (2-6) starting the ninth and Albert Pujols walked on four pitches. Duncan scored easily on Rolen's single.
Franklin said he did his job, inducing ground balls.
"It's tough luck, pretty much, is what it is," Franklin said. "But you know, I'm not going to change anything. Probably eight, nine times out of 10, those ground balls will be where they're supposed to be."
Jason Isringhausen (4-5) retired the Reds' 2-3-4 hitters in order in the ninth. It was his first appearance since David Ross' game-winning homer on Aug. 9 at Cincinnati.
St. Louis took two of three from the second-place Reds. The Cardinals won without Jim Edmonds, who missed his second straight game because of post-concussion syndrome, although trainer Barry Weinberg said Edmonds was feeling better and could play on Friday in the opener of a three-game series at Chicago.
Weaver, acquired July 5 from the Los Angeles Angels, allowed one run and three hits in 7 1-3 innings. He was moved ahead of Jeff Suppan in the rotation after limiting the Reds to one run in six innings in a victory on Aug. 9.
Cincinnati finished 9-6 against the Cardinals, going 5-4 at new Busch Stadium after a 119-139 record at old Busch. Griffey is 9-for-17 at new Busch Stadium with four homers, six RBIs and five walks. He homered only four times in 71 at-bats at old Busch, although one was the 500th of his career in 2004.
Lohse, making his third start for Cincinnati since being acquired from the Twins, worked seven innings and gave up five hits, struck out six and walked one. He has given up two earned runs in 13 1-3 innings his last two appearances, but has no victories to go with his 2.33 ERA.
"It's just been tough," Lohse said. "I hope the next four days go by real quick."
After Brandon Phillips doubled leading off the eighth and advanced on a sacrifice, Adam Wainwright relieved, struck out pinch-hitter Javier Valentin with the infield in and retired Ryan Freel on a flyout. It was his first outing since giving up four runs in one-third of an inning at Pittsburgh on Sunday.
Notes: Mel Ott is 19th in extra-base hits with 1,071. ... Freel robbed David Eckstein of a hit with a diving catch in RF for the last out in the eighth. ... Scott Hatteberg was 0-for-12 in the series. ... Duncan, a rookie and son of pitching coach Dave Duncan, is 11-for-19 during a 5-game hitting streak and is 18-for-34 in his last nine games.

Messerschmitts into Battle Part 2
As promised, here's the second part of my WIP video for Messerschmitts into Battle, most of the action took place in around 48 hours!
No products in the cart.
As promised, here's the second part of my WIP video for Messerschmitts into Battle, most of the action took place in around 48 hours!
I've just uploaded three new prints to the website. First is the new Messerschmitts into Battle print, as seen on the banner above. Second is the Focke Wulf Fw200 Condor which is now Print No. 11 in the RLM Collection and third is 'A Hero of two World Wars' which is the DH4 painting I produced recently.
To see all the new releases, just click here; NEW RELEASES
I'm currently about half-way through painting the third in my Battle of Britain trilogy, here's the story so far;
Just a quick update to confirm that we have now sold the Fw200 original painting. The prints will be published on 22nd April along with the third painting in my Battle of Britain trilogy depicting Me109s in combat with Spitfires. More details in the next few days.
I don't usually have time to do small private commissions any more but this one was for a friend who had waited patiently for about 2 years! It's a 22″ x 14″ canvas and is titled 'ENDEX'
His description is as follows;
Two Pumas of 1563 Flt do a low level fly past of their camp at Caye Chapel on the last flight of the day at the end of a week long deployment. This was to celebrate the end of the exercise before the beers flowed and their return to Belize International Airport (their main base) the next day.
Just finished the latest Osprey cover painting for the forthcoming book 'Spitfire Aces of the Channel Front'. It depicts Flt Lt 'Slim' Kilburn, of 124 Squadron flying Spitfire VI BR579/ON-H, shooting down an FW190 of JG26 over the English Channel on 12 December 1942. The specially modified Spitfire VIs were optimised for high-altitude combat, with extended wingtips and pressurized cockpits. On this day, the Spitfires were up covering the return of B-17s of the 303rd BG as they headed home after a raid on Abbeville and Rouen.
The original painting is now for sale, please click on the image for more details.
Just back from a great week in Tromsø, gaining inspiration for more paintings of my favourite part of the world. Whilst there we went chasing the Northern Lights and were rewarded with a spectacular display on the night of 2nd February. The light-show lasted for over an hour and was quite awe inspiring, despite the -16C temperatures!
Just back in the UK for a few days to organise the scanning and printing of my latest 40″ x 20″ canvas 'A Hero in two World Wars'. It is based upon the events of 8 June 1918 when Lt W H G Milnes of 25 Sqn and his gunner Hartley Pullan claimed a Fokker DR.1 whilst flying DH4 A7626. The title relates to the pilot, Rev W H G Milnes, who won the MC flying the DH4 and was then instrumental, (as the headmaster of Elizabeth College Guernsey), in the evacuation of his pupils to the UK days before the German invasion of the island in 1940. As you can see from the close-up below, the DH4's rigging is quite a challenge! We plan to have prints of this one available soon.
Just finished the first painting of 2016. It's for the cover of Osprey's forthcoming Arctic Bf109 and Bf110 Aces and depicts Lt Theo Weissenberger of 7/JG5 engaging a mixed force of Soviet bombers attacking a convoy off the Rybachiy Peninsula on 4 July 1943. Weissenberger claimed seven victories that day including three British built Hampden bombers.
Possibly an odd decision by the author to go for mid-summer and no snow camouflage in view of the title of the book, but I tried to capture that midnight sun light that makes the area so distinctive at that time of year. The original is now for sale, click on the image for more information.

Delicious fresh breadPosted on 04 / 27 / 2016
The only thing I ever buy at this store is their delicious fresh bread and Que Seraw Seraw on-the-go foods as the rest of the items I think are just too expensive. Maybe because they are a small shop and can't negotiate the prices too low, I don't know..
They sell everything you would expect to find in a health food store: books, organic fruits and veggies (not many), cosmetics, supplements, spices, canned goods and snacks.
They also sell veggie meats and vegan dairy (milks, cheese) - some of these products you can't get anywhere else.
I am happy they exist just because of the delicious bread they have, which you can't get anywhere else !
Cons: Expensive

Outstanding chocolate chip cookies! I'm surprised at the mixed reviews and have been making classic tollhouse forever. Wanted to try something new and these were a major hit! This is my new recipe for sure.
Very good recipe! I followed it pretty exact but I just mixed the 3 eggs in whole. Each sheet was done at about 12 minutes. Entire family enjoyed them!
I have been looking for a yummy cookie recipe for quite awhile now. I entered the kitchen ready to make these because they looked absolutely scrumptious, they came out and I was highly disappointed. My quest to find a yummy recipe continues..
This recipe is my go to now for the last 6 months. Always perfect, but sometimes I do make them smaller.
These measurements are WAY off. 1/4 cup mounds of cookie dough is ridiculous. Putting them on wax paper is just wrong. Seriously the worst cookies I ever made. Taste was fine but that was it. Boo.
These cookies are SHIT. They turned out like a mother hen on an egg flat platter men trying to push a kid down a hill on a tricycle. NEVER eat again NEVER make again.
I made these today. The picture above is a perfect representation of these, they spread out quite a bit and are flat, but not hard. Good flavor. I did find them to be done much sooner than the time suggested. Mine were closer to 12 minutes.
Good recipe - except at 375 and 13 minutes my cookies were burnt, and they were too salty. The next batch came out perfect at 350 and 12 minutes. I will use at least 1/2 tsp. of salt less next time.
I am not a great baker, but these cookies turned out beautiful. A few tips: Don't skip the parchment paper, let the cookie sheet cool completely between batches, stick with the recommended quarter-cup size doughball, and press the doughballs down as directed. In other words, actually follow the recipe!! These cookies look and taste fantastic.
When these cookies come out of the oven, they are somehow crunchy and chewy at the same time. Yay science.
