No trip back to Aruba for a suspect arrested in the Netherlands in the disappearance of American teenager Natalee Holloway.
The man was released today and his lawyer tells Dutch television there wasn't enough evidence.
Holloway disappeared last year on a high school trip.
A Dutch court official says a case in The Hague district involving a request to send the suspect to Aruba for further investigation has been dropped.
The suspect's lawyer tells Dutch television there was not enough evidence to hold his client.
The suspect has been identified only as Guido W because of Dutch privacy laws.
He was arrested last Wednesday.
Holloway was last seen leaving a bar with three young men on May 30th, 2005.
It was the final night of her high school graduation trip to Aruba.

The Cubdom resumes blogging
I've resumed blogging at The Cubdom. The goal is to cover the off-field aspects of the Cubs, such as tips for attending games at Wrigley and the business happenings around the Cubs.
The Cubdom's RSS feed (syndication) is available at: http://www.thecubdom.com/index.xml
If you want to link to the site, just copy and paste this text into your webpage (template).
In the spirit of off-field intrigue, here's a few links:
• The Cubdom - Cubs settle with holdout rooftop owner.
• Bleed Cubbie Blue interviews Crane Kenney.
• Ivy Chat reacts to the BCB interview
Finally, a check of one of my favorite pages, the Baseball Prospectus post season model, indicates the Cubs have playoff odds of 54% compared to the Cardinals' 45%, despite the fact that we're 2.5 games back in the standings (before games played on May 6.)

Is the real estate market stabilizing in Lincoln?
By: Gene Thorpe, Special to The News Messenger
Part 5 of the series, "The Anatomy of a Real Estate Transaction." To see past columns, go online to lincolnnewsmessenger.com. California was one of the first states to enter the housing downturn. Could it be one of the first to recover?In October 2007, the U.S. Treasury Secretary called the bursting housing bubble "the most significant risk to our economy." Fortunately, Placer County has not been hit as hard as other areas, and as we all know, Lincoln has been one of California's fastest growing cities! The rich history of Lincoln's downtown area, coupled with the large number of new home developments and shopping centers, make Lincoln very attractive for the family looking for "just the right place to live." Over the past few years, there has been a significant drop in the area's home prices. This would be because of the high number of homeowners going into foreclosure. Some prices of homes have come down as much as 60 percent from the peak of the market in July 2005. Price & Inventory At this time, most Lincoln homes are affordably priced. Due to the low interest rates, large inventory and economic uncertainty, this should be a time for buyers to have more negotiating leverage. Many new home developers are offering significant buyer incentives on their new homes. "Sales are weakest in areas that had a lot of new home building in recent years. I believe these are the areas that have the greatest potential for purchasing opportunities," California Association of Realtors' Chief Economist Leslie Appleton-Young pointed out. Price Verses Income Some economists say lower house prices are the solution and not the problem. House prices may keep falling in most cases because prices are still high, compared to incomes and rents. Banks say a safe mortgage is a maximum of three times the buyer's yearly income with 20-percent down payment. Property managers say a safe price is a maximum of 15 times the tenant's yearly rent. Yet in many areas, these rules of thumb are still being violated. Buyers are still borrowing six times their income and putting only 3 percent down and sellers are still asking 25 times annual rent, even after recent price declines. Renting is a business that reflects what individuals can really pay, based on their salary. This all indicates that prices could keep falling for awhile. Mortgage Rates Mortgage rates have fallen for three consecutive weeks. This is according to Freddy Mac results that were released in its Primary Mortgage Market Survey last Friday. The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 5.14 percent with an average 0.7 point for the week ending July 16, 2009. Last year at this time, the 30-year rate averaged 6.26 percent. First-time homebuyers and investors are jumping to take advantage of state and federal tax incentives, low-interest rates and prices that are more affordable than they have been in many years. California's median price climbed in April on a monthly basis for the second straight month. That hasn't happened since August 2007, the California Association of Realtors reported on May 28. Home sales in April rose 49 percent, compared with April 2008. Right now, it appears as if the government's plans for reviving housing may be working. The first-time homebuyers $8,000.00 tax credit is definitely stimulating activity. Foreclosure numbers are down from April and May in so many markets across the country. With the stock market still jumpy and investors worried that the global recession may not be ending soon enough, it may seem a little surprising to see such strong positive signs in the home real estate market. Pending Sales Pending home sales rose sharply, by nearly 7 percent, in May, measured by the National Association of Realtors. Pending sales are those where the contracts are signed but the deals haven't closed escrow yet. Pending sales were up in all four major regions of the country, catching the attention of some key industry economists. Orawin Velz, economic forecaster for the Mortgage Bankers Association, said in a commentary that "the steady improvements in pending home sales are encouraging" and confirm the view that existing home sales hit their cyclical bottom in January and are likely to continue to rise in the coming months. Since the January low point, Velz noted, the Realtors' pending sale index is up by 13 percent. Homes are at huge discounts. Prices have come down below $100 per square foot on many homes! That is equivalent to building the home at a discount and getting the land underneath for free. While all of this is going on, indicators of market distress continue to move in different directions. Foreclosure activity remains near record levels while financing with adjustable-rate mortgages is near the all-time low but has recently edged higher. One of the main concerns is unemployment. Placer County, as a whole, has an unemployment rate of 10.9 percent (in comparison to Sacramento County's rate of 11.1 percent). With all of this being said there are many components to the big picture. We are definitely in a volatile economy. The fact remains that sales activity has been on the rise. Bank-owned properties have been getting multiple offers. Conclusion It appears the market is heating up in many cases. For example, some clean properties in the low end of the price range are seeing a slight rise in prices. Many of us in the real estate business wonder if we have actually hit bottom here in Northern California while some places in other sections of the country might not have. The point is, if you are in a position to buy and you want the benefits of home ownership, you might as well jump in now.

Choreographer-director Remo Dsouza will closely work with the Disney team to make "ABCD 2", the sequel to his directorial project "ABCD: Any Body Can Dance", a truly global franchise. A major chunk of the film will be shot in the US starting early next year.
"I always wanted to make a splash with 'Any Body Can Dance', and I'm happy to say we managed to do that. With the sequel, I would like to make a bigger wave and I'm heading to Disney Studios in Los Angeles to start the groundwork for it," said Remo Dsouza.
"ABCD: Any Body Can Dance", India's first 3D dance film, features choreographers like Prabhu Deva, Ganesh Acharya and Salman Yusuff Khan. The sequel will be bigger, says Rucha Pathak, senior creative director, Studios, Disney-UTV.
"We're looking forward to making a bigger dance film with the 'ABCD' sequel and it's natural that we take the story to the next level on international shores. Remo has a fabulous idea and we're looking forward to making a technically bigger film that will have a beautiful story at its core that Remo is already started working on," said Pathak.

An unusual exchange between Bar and Bench
Monday's hearing in the Supreme Court on the sealings drive and the dramatic exchanges between Justice Arijit Pasayat of the Supreme Court and the Additional Solicitor General Vikas Singh must surely be rated as the most unusual of such exchanges. The reports of these exchanges are carried in all newspapers. The Hindu's report can be read here.
The ASG has a point, as the livelihood of the ordinary people are involved in implementing the court's orders. Considering that the Campaign for judicial acccountability and reforms has alluded to plausible conflict of interests involving the presiding Judge, who issued the original sealing orders in 2006, is it not time to take a relook at the entire case, and rehear it if necessary? Just because certain arguments were not put forward or advanced by the Government earlier, the matter need not be considered as closed, making it difficult for the Bench to take a relook at it, and take corrective measures, before it is too late.

It is always poor advocacy when a litigant, especially a government lawyer, is rude to the bench. There can be no justification for such behaviour. If the governemnt feels that the Court is over-stepping its jurisdiction, there are many other mechanisms, which would be far more effective than the Additional Solicitor General throwing a tanturum in court.
- BN Harish said...
I agree that the exchange is unusual. It is indeed rare that one hears of angry exchanges. However, I think we need to distinguish between two kinds of exchanges- exchanges on points of law and exchanges based on personalities and intolerance to listen. The first kind should be encouraged and should not be confused with personalities. Unfortunately, due to the development of personality based lawyering that has been encouraged by the courts, I think courts tend to place importance on the identity of the lawyer who is presenting the arguments rather than the merit in the arguments. And this appears to be on the increase. Exchanges due to intolerance and negative vibes between personalities should clearly be discouraged. But it requires an enlightened bench and an even more enlightened bar to develop this attitude. Needless to say both areas require improvement.

This is a wonderful documentary. It tells the story of 400 families who were forced from their housing project in the shadow of Capitol Hill, Washington DC, by speculative development. One group of women formed a friendship with playwright Anu Yadav, whose work permeates the film. Together with its skillful makers they weave the sorrow of loss and the wit of defiance into a beautiful, telling tale. If you are at all curious about the human background to the 'credit crunch' in the US, it's also the perfect place to start.

i'm in school, and today while in the hall waiting for someone, my heart started to race. It felt like it was about to beat right out of my chest...it was pounding. I had a little shortness of breath, and then everything started to feel weird...like a sense of impending doom.
I was walking to my class and everybody walking by made me feel so squished. I wanted to get out of there. I started to get hot and it felt almost as if things were going by in a haze. When i got to class i was lightheaded...and then it went away.
What happened?
Can someone please explain this?
It has happened to me before. It just suddenly comes out of nowhere; it's not just social situations. It has happened when i was alone in my room. It's a sudden wave of paranoia with a racing heart and i just feel so freaked out.
What's happening?

If an enzyme name is shown in bold, there is experimental evidence for this enzymatic activity.
Locations of Mapped Genes:
|Biosynthesis → Amino Acids Biosynthesis → Proteinogenic Amino Acids Biosynthesis → L-serine Biosynthesis
Serine biosynthesis is a major metabolic pathway in E. coli. Its end product, serine, is not only used in protein synthesis, but also as a precursor for the biosynthesis of glycine, cysteine, tryptophan, and phospholipids. In addition, it directly or indirectly serves as a source of one-carbon units for the biosynthesis of various compounds.
Regulation of the pathway is mainly accomplished by feedback inhibition of the enzyme that catalyzes the first committed step, (S)-2-hydroxyglutarate reductase [multifunctional]. The second enzyme in the pathway, 3-phosphoserine aminotransferase, requires pyridoxal 5'-phosphate as a cofactor and is also required for the biosynthesis of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate itself. Thus the cell must ensure that the supply of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate is adequate. Little biochemical work has been done on the final enzyme of the pathway, phosphoserine phosphatase.

Sometimes when held my 4-week old arches her back and throws her head around quite forcefully.
The doctor attributed the behavior to reflux but I'm worried that she may injure her head and neck. This morning she nearly propelled herself right out of my arms and she threw her head over to one side. Any insight?

Did the doctor give you medication for the reflux? Our son did the same thing. We always tried to brace his head in the crook of our elbow while feeding, or hold the base of his head if we were holding him upright against us. Once he was on medication that worked for his severe reflux though, the crazy behavior stopped.posted 01/23/2008 by lizzieb788

Bottle service in Baltimore
I ate at Red Maple in Mount Vernon recently, and it was the first time I had noticed bottle service at a Baltimore restaurant. (Although you can argue that Red Maple is more lounge than restaurant, the fact that Jill Snyder, its executive chef, is a contestant on the current season of Bravo's Top Chef suggests otherwise.)
In case you're not familiar with the concept, you buy a bottle of premium liquor at a breathtaking mark up. For the money you get mixers, fruit and ice -- and at clubs, a reserved table. The advantage is that you get your drinks on your terms.
And, more importantly, there's the cool factor. ...
I asked Midnight Sun Sam how common bottle service was in Baltimore, and he told me it's gaining ground slowly. It started appearing about five years ago, he said. It's been slow to catch on, Sam thinks, because the concept hasn't been explained well to potential customers.
Of course, a $225 tab for a bottle of Johnnie Walker Black might be another reason.

Jurors reject circus family's shiva lawsuit claims
Wednesday, May 25, 2011
WASHINGTON (AP) — A bitter assault case between members of the family behind the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey circus ended Tuesday with jurors deciding that neither side proved its case.
The jury rejected Karen Feld's $110 million claim that her brother, circus CEO Kenneth Feld, had his security guards assault her at a memorial service for their late aunt. They also rejected Kenneth Feld's counterclaim that his sister trespassed at the 2007 shiva by shouting anti-Semitic obscenities that disrupted the service.
Karen Feld, a 63-year-old Washington resident, said she has a history of brain injuries that cause seizures. She testified she couldn't control what she was saying when she went into one of her episodes at the penthouse apartment where her aunt's memorial service was held and where she lived with her brother as a youth. She said her brother's guards harmed her by dragging her out of the service and she eventually needed to have a tumor removed because of their assault and battery.
But the jurors did not agree after a two-week trial in which three security guards contradicted her version of events.
Kenneth Feld, a 62-year-old resident of Tampa, Fla., smiled broadly and hugged his lawyers in response to the verdict. He said afterward he was happy with the outcome, but he felt it was a shame their feud had to go so far.
"It never should have come to this," Kenneth Feld told reporters on the courthouse steps, his first comments to the media in the case. "There's no way I ever wanted this to be in the courtroom."
The case is the culmination of decades of estrangement between the Feld siblings, the only children of former circus owner Irvin Feld. Irvin Feld died in 1984 and passed his ownership of Feld Entertainment and most of his wealth to his son, leading Karen Feld to file her first lawsuit against her brother. She won a settlement from that case and reached an agreement with her brother earlier this year in another suit over their uncle's estate.
This time Kenneth Feld fought his sister all the way through a trial full of drama. On the witness stand, Karen Feld described a tragic family behind the Big Top: She said both her parents physically abused her; her mother committed suicide when she was 10 and her brother 9, and years later she walked in on her father having sex with her fiance. Kenneth Feld gave a much kinder portrayal of their family and broke down into tears when telling of the death of their aunt Shirley, who raised the siblings after their mother's death.
"Since Aunt Shirley's shiva was desecrated, this is now probably the closest thing to closure that we will ever have," Kenneth Feld said after the verdict.
Karen Feld left the trial shouting in anger twice after being repeatedly referred to as "Mrs. Feld" although she's never been married. These disruptions lead U.S. District Judge Ellen Segal Huvelle to post a court security officer in the courtroom. Karen Feld said hearing the erroneous courtesy title and subsequently being surrounding by courthouse security guards triggered seizures, and she was under medical care and unable to return to the courtroom for the final four days, including the verdict.
But she responded in an email to The Associated Press:
"I respect the jury's decision, but I'm disappointed that Kenny got away with bad and malicious behavior at my expense yet one more time," she wrote. "He's nothing but a bully with millions of dollars to hire thugs to assault me and PR pros to detract from the real issues and spin the story his way. I had hoped that the verdict would provide me with a sense of personal safety but that's not the case."
The jury found that Karen Feld was imprisoned by the private security guards her brother hired, but they also ruled the action was justified.
The guards testified that Karen Feld never told them she was suffering from a seizure or any other medical condition, but began yelling profanities when they tried to stop her from entering a back bedroom. Kenneth Feld's attorney argued that she wanted to get into the room because she believed it contained jewelry and other memorabilia she thought were hers, but Karen Feld said she was heading to a bathroom to try to ward off the impending seizure.
"Ken Feld's body guards acted properly based on the situation and what they knew," jury foreman Chad Capule said in an interview outside the courtroom. He said the multiple days of medical expert testimony showed that she clearly had a brain injury and wasn't responsible for her actions at the shiva, but didn't prove that the guards' handling of her caused her to need brain surgery.
Capule said the most dramatic moments in the courtroom — Kenneth Feld's emotional testimony and Karen Feld's angry departure — didn't influence the jury, saying: "That had nothing to do with the evidence."

Civil Rights History
Historical events, political acts and policy decisions provide the context for the contemporary civil rights debate.
Improving the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights
March 30, 2009 - Posted by The Leadership Conference
A new LCCREF report, "Restoring the Conscience of a Nation," examines the history of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights and provides recommendations for improving the commission.
The commission was created with the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1957 as an independent fact-finding body charged with investigating and reporting on civil rights and making recommendations to the federal government on how to fix the problems it uncovers.
In this video, Wade Henderson, president and CEO of LCCR; John Payton, director-counsel of the NAACP LDF; Catherine Powell, professor of law at Fordham University; and Julie Fernandes, principal at the Raben Group, talk about the role the commission has played in advancing civil rights over the last 50 years and explain why they've decided to provide Congress with recommendations for improving the commission.
This Week in Civil Rights History: The 23rd Amendment Allows D.C. Residents to Vote for President
March 27, 2009 - Posted by The Leadership Conference
This Sunday marks the anniversary of the ratification of the 23rd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The amendment allows residents of Washington, D.C., to vote for presidential and vice presidential candidates.
Amendments to the Constitution are proposed by both houses in Congress and require three-fourths of the states to ratify, or approve, them. Ohio ratified the amendment on March 29, 1961, which made the amendment go into effect.
The 1964 election was the first election that district residents voted for president and vice president.
However, the 23rd Amendment did not grant district residents voting representation in Congress. There have been numerous unsuccessful attempts to pass legislation that would give voting representation in Congress to district residents ever since it was created in 1801.
The D.C. Voting Rights Act, which will give the district a full-voting member in the House of Representatives for the first time, passed the Senate in February and is expected to come up for a vote in the House in the coming weeks.
Noted Historian and Civil Rights Icon, John Hope Franklin, Passes Away
March 26, 2009 - Posted by Tyler Lewis
John Hope Franklin, historian and civil rights icon, passed away yesterday in Durham, N.C. He was 94.
"Dr. Franklin's legacy and work will continue to guide us along our national road to an equal and just society. Throughout his life, he worked tirelessly to make sure that the story of America includes the stories of us all, and today we honor his memory," said Wade Henderson, president and CEO of LCCR, in a statement.
Franklin had a long and varied career in public service and education. He was a world-renowned historian of the Black American experience. His 1947 book, "From Slavery to Freedom: A History of Negro Americans" is considered the definitive history of African Americans. He regularly updated the book and it is currently in its 8th printing.
In 2007, LCCR honored Franklin with its Hubert H. Humphrey Civil Rights Award for his lifelong commitment to incorporating African Americans into American historical texts and representations. This clip from a video shown during the 2007 award dinner tells Franklin's story and why he has become a civil rights icon.
Today in Civil Rights History: Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire
March 25, 2009 - Posted by The Leadership Conference
Demonstration of protest and mourning for victims of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire of March 25, 1911.
On March 25, 1911, a fire broke out at the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory in New York City, an event that galvanized the city and sparked a movement that led to legislation that improved factory safety and workers' protections.
Nearly 150 workers died in the fire, unable to escape from the building due to locked exits and a broken fire escape. It was the most tragic industrial disaster in the history of New York City, and was the worst workplace disaster in the city until the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.
The Triangle Shirtwaist Company manufactured women's blouses, which were called "shirtwaists" or simply "waists" at the time. Most of the company's 600 workers were female immigrants from Eastern Europe, Italy and Germany, some as young as 12, who were paid a mere six or seven dollars a week.
The origins of the fire are unknown, but the fire sparked efforts to improve safety laws and workers' compensation laws.
The International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union (ILGWU), which grew in size and political power in the wake of the fire, organized a large rally and the Women's Trade Union League campaigned to investigate working conditions for laborers and collected testimonies.
The governor of New York set up a Factory Investigating Commission, which conducted hearings across the state for five years. As a result, vital factory safety legislation was passed and new workers' compensation laws were pased.
The building that housed the Triangle Shirtwaist Company, now called the Brown Building, is a national historic landmark. The UNITE HERE union, which includes ILGWU, honors workers' contributions to American soceity every year on the fire's anniversary.
Civil Rights History: Senate Passes the Equal Rights Amendment
March 20, 2009 - Posted by The Leadership Conference
From the museum: Map of the states that ratified the ERA and a photo of Alice Paul.
This Sunday, March 22, is the anniversary of the U.S. Senate's passage of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), a constitutional amendment that would have ensured equal rights could not be denied on the basis of gender.
Though the amendment was passed by Congress in 1972, it was not ratified by enough states by its July 1982 deadline. Amendments to the Constitution are proposed by a two-thirds majority vote in both houses in Congress and then require ratification, or approval, by three-fourths of the states.
The ERA was written by Alice Paul, a women's rights activist who was instrumental in the 1920 ratification of the 19th amendment, which guaranteed women's right to vote. The ERA was first introduced in Congress in 1923, and has been re-introduced in nearly every session of Congress since then.
Alice Paul's home in Washington D.C. has been the headquarters of the National Women's Party for decades and also the Sewell-Belmont House and Museum, the only museum in the nation's capitol that focuses on women's struggle for full equality.
The museum has a large collection of artifacts from the women's movement, including a searchable online database. It provides tours and is open to the public five days a week.
Smithsonian National Postal Museum Launches Online Exhibit, 'Women on Stamps'
March 18, 2009 - Posted by The Leadership Conference
In honor of Women's History Month, the Smithsonian National Postal Museum is featuring an online exhibit called "Women on Stamps: Part One." This collection is the first in a series of four stamp collections that focus on the accomplishments of women.
In 1893, Queen Isabella I of Spain was the first woman to appear on a U.S. postage stamp. Since that time, the U.S. has honored women by issuing over 200 stamps that feature pioneering women.
"Women on Stamps: Part One" highlights women who have made their mark on politics and social justice, including Sojourner Truth, Harriet Tubman, and Elizabeth Cady Stanton.
Today in Civil Rights History: First African American Senator Gives Speech on U.S. Senate Floor
March 16, 2009 - Posted by The Leadership Conference
On March 16, 1870, Senator Hiram Rhodes Revels became the first African American to give a speech on the floor of the U.S. Senate. In his speech, Revels urged Congress to pressure the Georgia General Assembly to reinstate Black state legislators who had been illegally denied their seats.
In April 1868, Georgia voters ratified a new state constitution, which gave African Americans in Georgia full citizenship, including the right to vote. Voters also elected 29 African Americans to the state House of Representatives and three to the state Senate. However, when the Georgia legislature met in July, members of both houses tried to unseat the Black members by arguing that the state constitution did not permit Black representation.
Today in Civil Rights History: Charlotte E. Ray, First Female African-American Lawyer
February 27, 2009 - Posted by The Leadership Conference
Charlotte E. Ray graduated from Howard Law School on February 27, 1872, becoming not only the first female African-American lawyer in the United States but also the first practicing female lawyer in Washington, D.C.
States Integrate Black History into Public School Curricula
February 26, 2009 - Posted by The Leadership Conference
Every year, students across the country celebrate Black History Month in a variety of ways, but a few states have passed laws that require public schools to include Black history in their curriculum throughout the year.
New Jersey, Illinois and New York have each created a commission to review how public schools in the state are teaching Black history and make recommendations on how to improve the curriculum. The commissions are called "Amistad Commissions" after the Amistad, a Spanish slave ship that was the site of a famous slave revolt in 1839.
One of the goals of the New Jersey commission is "to infuse the history of Africans and African-Americans into the social studies curriculum in order to provide an accurate, complete and inclusive history." It has developed a set of lesson plans which teachers will incorporate into their classrooms starting this fall.
However, four years after its law passed, New York has not yet appointed all its commissioners and the commission has never met.
California, Mississippi, Florida, Arkansas, Colorado and Michigan have also passed legislation regarding instruction in Black history. Florida's law, passed in 1994, also requires that its public schools teach women's history, Latino history, and the Holocaust.

Palm Pre 2 review

The Palm Pixi Plus sees the Pre's dinky sidekick make its UK debut and is the latest smartphone to offer a scaled down, affordable alternative to a premium handset.
The Palm Pre Plus is the first device the company has launched in the UK since it was forced to sell-up to HP, which, of course, came as a direct consequence of Pre's poor performance across the globe.
The follow-up to the Palm Pre is lighter, easier to use, but just as web-enabled

Palm's Treo Pro (£399 inc. VAT or free on contract) is a Windows Mobile handset aimed at the corporate user. It's similar in style to the company's smaller Treo Centro, but is packed with features.
Palm's latest in its long line of smart phones is also its smallest, and probably its best looking. It's also returned to the Palm operating system that the company seemed to temporarily abandon with its recent run of Windows-based handsets (that would be the Treo 750v and 500v, in case you're wondering).
Palm's first smartphone aimed at the consumer market, the Palm Treo 500v, takes on the likes of the BlackBerry 8300 Curve. It is smaller than previous Palm offerings but still feels clunkier than some of its rivals

Webroot, SOTI Partner in Mobile Security
Webroot just got a leg up in mobile markets with a partnership that weaves its security intelligence and secure Web browsing technologies into SOTI's MDM solution. The move will broaden partners' reach and customers-base while paving the way for entrance into mobile markets.
Send to Kindle
Like many of its competitors, Webroot Inc. is inching into the mobile space and will bring along its channel partners as it gains ground.
In an effort to make inroads in mobile markets, the Boulder, Colo.-based security firm partnered with enterprise mobile device management vendor SOTI Inc. The combination melds Webroot's security intelligence and secure Web browsing capabilities into SOTI's MDM solution MobiControl V10, equipping managed mobile devices with cloud-based anti-malware and threat protection.
SOTI is a scalable MDM solution designed to give customers control over their mobile environment, which includes securing data and integrating applications, as well as streamlining operations management and enabling help desk support.
The integration of the two firms extends security capabilities in mobile environments. The solution touts an array of features such as Web filtering, real-time antivirus and malware protection, help desk suite, telecom expense management and secure content library.
The solution aims to beef up security defenses against malware and other Web-based threats, powered by Webroot's Intelligence Network. The refreshed mobile solution has the ability to scan applications and files for a range of attacks that include viruses, spyware and Trojans. Other selling points include a slew of secure mobile Web browsing capabilities that include scanning Web links and URLs in an effort to block phishing attacks and other malicious code.
"Today the endpoint is the perimeter of the enterprise network. Protecting that network and the data within it along with an increasingly mobile workforce must be a priority for IT managers, and with MobiControl V10 and Webroot they can do that without sacrificing other priorities," said Dick Williams, Webroot's CEO.
The MDM space is one that's still relatively new for the cloud and endpoint security security firm. Up until now, Webroot has dipped its toe in mobile markets with security solutions for Android and iOS devices, but has thus far steered clear of more comprehensive MDM bundles.
The same can't be said for many of Webroot's competitors. Symantec Corp., Trend Micro Inc. and Sophos Ltd. all forged trails into the space last year with their own MDM launches. And it's likely Webroot knew it would have to expand its MDM prowess if it ever planned to be a serious contender in mobile arenas.
Security vendors wanting to blaze new trails in MDM also face stiff competition from dedicated MDM firms such as Good Technology Corp. and SOTI that have emerged as formidable challengers in expanding mobile markets.
And growth won't slow any time soon. The global BYOD and enterprise mobility market is anticipated to spike from $67.21 billion in 2011 to $181.39 billion by 2017, at a CAGR of 15.17 percent from 2012 to 2017, according to a MarketsandMarkets report. The SOTI partnership eases the way for Webroot to navigate in competitive waters by providing a dedicated solution that expands its market presence with a well-established user-base. It's a foundation that could give partners new entry into mobile markets.

Hurricane Sandy Aftermath Photos of Long Island
Hurricane Sandy came on Monday, October 29, 2012, leaving a trail of devastation.
The hurricane killed people, ruined homes and businesses and left what used to be beautiful towns into piles of debris.
On Long Island, Long Beach was a beautiful scenic town with a boardwalk that stretched two miles long. People would ride their bicycles and walk along the boardwalk feeling like they were on vacation. The boardwalk is no more.
In Wantagh, NY, dozens of people have had their homes condemned due to flooding and oil tanks in their homes being demolished and seeping into the ground.
These are just two towns of many left in shambles. A number of friends have posted photos that speak volumes of the true devastation left in the wake of the storm. A picture is worth a 1,000 words and in this case it couldn't be more true.
I have taken photos from Facebook. If you see a photo that is yours and would like it removed or photo credit, please let me know. I have given credit wherever possible.
Check out the photos on page 2.

The Department of Education (DepEd) has set to train all second year high school teachers in Negros Oriental on secondary education curriculum using the so-called Understanding by Design (UBD) approach.
DepEd Information Officer Erlinda Calumpang said the orientation-training is scheduled on June 2-3 after some 90 teachers have completed recently the training in Cebu City.
The training-workshop will consist of break-away sessions by subject areas and micro teaching demonstrations using the "ubedized" teaching guides, said Calumpang.
In order to ensure curriculum implementation, subject teachers will be identified based on the eight learning areas, namely English Filipino, Science, Mathematics, Araling Panlipunan, Values Education, MAPEH and TLE.
Calumpang said teachers from the municipality of Basay to Canlaon City will gather at the identified four venues depending on their area of teaching; for English teachers at Negros Oriental High School (NOHS), Filipino and Science at Dauin National High School, for Mathematics and Araling Panlipunan, Valencia High School, Values Education, Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE), and Music, Arts, Physical Education and Health (MAPEH) at Sibulan National High School.
This province-wide training prepares the subject teachers in the Second Year level before school year 2011-2012 starts in June.
The training sets up for the second year of implementation of the new curriculum to improve classroom teaching-learning process and eventually hasten the academic advancement of secondary school children, DepEd official said.
The use of "ubedized" guide upgrades the standard of learning and education in the country as part of the country's commitment in meeting the targets of the Millennium Development Goals.

Olympus unveils PEN E-P2 interchangeable lens digital camera
The Olympus PEN E-P1 was launched in June and according to the manufacturer, the sales for the digital camera has achieved five times higher than their expectation. And today, Olympus has announced the new PEN E-P2 interchangeable lens digital camera.
Olympus Imaging Singapore (Jimmy Loh, General Manager – above picture) is pleased to announce the introduction of the OLYMPUS PEN E-P2 interchangeable lens digital camera and related accessories. The E-P2 is the second Olympus camera to be developed for the Micro Four Thirds System standard, and is scheduled to go on sale in Singapore in December 2009.
Main Features
1 Mirror-less design for light, compact, go-anywhere portability, with a high-quality metal body that reflects the concentrated imaging power inside. Available in black.
2 Newly expanded range of 8 creative Art Filter functions, including Diorama and Cross Process. Other creative tools include i-ENHANCE, a new Picture mode that captures subjects with exceptional clarity and presence, and HD movie and high quality PCM audio recording.
3 New accessory port enables use of a detachable high-definition, 144,000-dot EVF Live Viewfinder with 100% field of view, or an optional adapter for an external microphone. A new HDMI Control function also enables camera playback operations to be controlled via the user's TV remote control.
4 Live Control icon display on LCD monitor for easy, intuitive selection of camera settings, and Continuous-Tracking AF for easy focusing with moving subjects.
Other Features
• 4/3-inch, 12.3-megapixel high-speed Live MOS image sensor and newly developed TruePic V image processing engine for high-quality, SLR-class imaging
• High-speed imager AF for responsive live view shooting
• iAUTO fully automatic shooting mode selection based on scene analysis
• Choice of 4 aspect ratios
• Live view double exposure function with simultaneous display of current scene and previously captured image
• Built-in image stabilization mechanism with up to 4 EV corrective effect
• Reliable dust reduction system
• HDMI output for high-quality image and movie playback
• Multi-Mix Slideshow playback with background music
• e-Portrait function for smooth rendering of skin texture
• Face & Background Control for beautifully exposed portraits and group photos
• Shadow Adjustment Technology to prevent blown highlights and blocked-in shadows
• MF Assist function for manual focusing with auto image magnification
• Live View level gauge display
• High-precision 324-zone evaluative metering system
Main Feature Details
Mirror-less design for light, compact, go-anywhere portability, with a high-quality metal body that reflects the concentrated imaging power inside. Available in black.
Compact, mirror-less, Micro Four Thirds System design
Micro Four Thirds System design eliminates the need to incorporate a mirror box inside the camera, enabling the distance from the lens mount to the focal plane (flange back distance) to be cut by about half without reducing image sensor size or compromising image quality. Compared to the Olympus E-420 — the world's smallest digital SLR* — camera body width has been reduced by about 8.5mm, height by about 20mm, and thickness by about 18mm, resulting in a camera with only 58% of the E-420's body volume.
High-quality metal body, in black
Like the E-P1, the OLYMPUS PEN E-P2 uses aluminum for the top and bottom of the body, and stainless steel for the back and sides, giving it a feel of quality and solidity in the hand that reflect the high standard of performance it achieves. In addition, the OLYMPUS PEN E-P2 is offered with a sleek black finish.

in the FT article above Papademos cites that some 70 to 80 per cent of Greeks support Greece's continuing partecipation in the euro area and that they are willing to do what has to be done in order for the country to remain in the EUR.
As much as I don't really like him this is quite factual... though a nice little referendum would be quite a thing, wouldn't it?
The lack of logic in the interview given by the Greek Prime Minister is summed up well below.
"The Prime Minister Lucas Papademos was interviewed in the Financial Times and amidst the hyperbole we did get some confessions as well as some extraordinary claims. There were also two rather remarkable understatements!
However, in the short term we are still experiencing negative side effects
The weakening of economic activity and the increase in unemployment were greater than initially expected.
Later on he is kind enough to specify the side effects.
The country is in the fifth year of recession, unemployment is about 20 per cent, youth unemployment is close to 50 per cent,
"Side effects" does not really cover it, does it? If it was a drug it would deserve to lose its licence for sale. Another problem area in the interview was the lack of implementation of economic reform.
There have been implementation delays and gaps – there is no question about this.
One reason was that policies were not implemented in a timely manner.
provided the policies are implemented fully
Of course according to Prime Minister Papademos this time is different although I note he adds the rider "if implemented effectively". "
great summary and interesting link
well, that's the problem, isn't it? a Drachma would have to be devalued by 30%-40% without wage increases and the Greeks know it.
politically, quite a hard thing to do. on the financial side, who is going to guarantee that the new Drachma would go down 40% only?
with this kind of free-money-for-speculative-purpuses sloshing around any small currency could face a very tough fate
no, certain things have to run their course
thought there was going to be issues regarding the CDS trigger with Greece? Or is everything now happy happy joy joy?
From the Obama Bloomberg article:
"Lincoln, the first Republican president, knew that if we as a nation through our federal government didn't act to facilitate these things, then they likely wouldn't happen, and as a result, we'd all be worse off," Obama said at the Palmer House Hilton Hotel in Chicago's downtown.
Lincoln also had at murder 600,000 people, enslave thousands into the army, allow drunk lunatics to burn down half the country, and imprission anyone who disagreed with his administration to "facilitate" the spending programs that his home state of Illinois was already in default on.
Why highlight the shooting in France? What has that got to do with the market and the economy? Is it because it involved jews? How come you didn't higlight the shooting of three french soldiers last week? It was in the very same city and it is probably the same gunman. But those soldiers weren't jews - so nobody cared.

Everett, Wash.--The Boise Hawks scored four runs in the top of the ninth, including a two-run Rony Rodriguez homer, en route to a 10-5 win over the Everett AquaSox.
The homerun was Rodriguez s second on the night, as the right fielder piled up three hits and three RBI in the victory.
Every batter in the Hawks lineup had a hit against six different AquaSox pitchers.
Sam Wilson picked up the win on the mound for the Hawks, throwing two innings of shutout ball and striking out three Everett batters.
The Hawks are now off for the next three days due to the Northwest League All-Star game.Eight Boise players will represent the South Division in the game on Tuesday night in Everett.
