The Pravda About Putin
Russia being Russia, the thirst for empire can never be slaked.
The wave of freedom that broke over Eastern Europe swamped the Soviet Union in the late 1980s and early 1990s. But -- Russia being Russia -- the thirst for empire can never be slaked. Ukraine's Viktor Yanukovych -- having stolen the recent election so blatantly even the EU noticed -- is trying to help Russian President Vladimir Putin turn back the tide.
Ah, for the good old days when there was only the Evil Empire to worry about. Each side's submarines played hide and seek with the other's, East German border guards shot those trying to escape the workers' paradise, and the spies of MI6, CIA and KGB went about their business. For Cold Warriors of the old west, the world has changed and not entirely for the better. But for their Russian counterparts, that the world has changed does not mean that the changes are irreversible. Quietly and harshly, patiently and inexorably the old Soviet crowd and a young bunch of Brezhnev wannabes are working to restore Russian military power and hegemony over former Soviet satellites.
There was a time, for a few years after the Berlin Wall fell, that the old Soviet military was literally left to rot. Many of their best soldiers were without pay or rations, left to forage among the civilian populace. The factories of Mikoyan Gurevich -- makers of the MiG aircraft -- and others were silent, their inventories gathering dust, engineers and scientists as desperate as the abandoned soldiery. But in the past few years they, and other Russian military industries, have been funded well enough to produce new classes of nuclear submarines that are better and -- thanks to the Walker spy ring -- as quiet as ours. New types of Russian fighter aircraft are as good and maybe a bit better than anything we have other than the unaffordably expensive F-22. The lesson is that while Russia isn't an economic superpower, the Putin government is willing to spend whatever it can to restore Russian military might, and empire.
LAST WEEKEND, THE UKRAINIAN parliament threw out the hugely corrupt result that had Viktor Yanukovych, appointed to office by outgoing prime minister Leonid Kuchma, winning by a 3% margin. Opposition candidate Viktor Yushchenko's protest of the stolen election is going to be ruled on by the Ukrainian courts, but that is unlikely to end the matter. Yanukovych is supported vocally by Putin who has an eye on the eastern Ukraine's industrial capacity as well as its possibly-restorable naval and nuclear assets.
Pravda -- reverting quickly to type -- has already labeled Yushchenko a "western stooge." Wheezing a lungful of stale Lubyanka air, Pravda ranted on. It condemned Yushchenko's tactics as "typical of the anti-democratic processes set in motion by a rampant and militant Washington, crushed in the grip on a monetarist, neo-conservative crypto-fascist clique of elitists, whose corporate greed speaks louder than the mores of international diplomacy and whose thirst to dominate the world's resources in the lifetimes of Rumsfeld and Cheney throws any moral concept into the trash bin." Remember, as we must, that Pravda's role was -- and is again -- to impose on us a mirror image of what the Soviets were, and Putin is, doing. (Someone needs to reopen the U.S. Information Agency. Come to think of it, we should have done this years ago. We've lost at least a decade in which we should have been broadcasting 24/7 into the Middle East.)
When the Soviet Union broke apart, Ukraine kept a large part of the Black Sea fleet, including a number of nuclear submarines. We don't know how well -- if at all -- these boats have been maintained. Unless they have literally been left to rot, they may be susceptible of a restoration that will cost billions less than building new boats. Putin is sure to be looking at them as part of the answer to rebuilding the Russian military. Even if these boats cannot be restored to full capability, they can probably be moderately effective to project power, and highly effective as training vessels for a new generation of Russian submariners.
Between the industrialized east -- where severe unemployment makes realignment with Russia seem (though falsely) a remedy to economic hardship -- and the agricultural west, Ukraine is split along a line that more or less follows the Dnieper River. Western Ukrainians have been anti-Soviet, and now fear a resurgent Russia so much that they may be willing to partition the country along the Dnieper line if Yanukovych is declared the winner of the election. In the east, economic conditions are bad enough that fears of Russia may be subordinated to the phony promise of economic revival by Russian alignment. The eastern Donetsk region has already scheduled a referendum on partition for next week that plays into Russian hands too quickly. Yanukovych -- who told Reuters that he opposes partition -- apparently is supporting the partition vote quietly, keeping that option open should the courts decide he lost the election. His maneuvers will leave him dependent on Putin to a degree that he cannot extract himself and his country should he retain the Prime Minister's office.
Defense sources are very concerned about the other element of Ukrainian partition. Re-alliance with Russia or partition will mean that the portion of the Soviet nuclear arsenal that remained under Ukrainian control -- and whatever part of it that may remain after the Nunn-Lugar program's disposal -- would likely fall under eastern Ukrainian control. Or worse, sold in the black market. One such source opined that a Yanukovych win may be preferable because he may be able to control the nuclear remnants better. We'll see. We and the European Union have condemned the obviously corrupt election. But there is more to do.
PUTIN, THROUGH YANUKOVYCH, is making his first open attempt to revive Russian control over its neighbors. This is consistent with Russia's opposition to controlling Iran's nuclear ambitions, its support of neo-Castroite Chavez in Venezuela, and its sometime cooperation with Old Europe in the U.N. The world has many moving parts, and the Russian influence on one cannot distract us from its attempts to influence the others. Putin wants his new Russia to wield power equal to that of the old Soviet Union. As we did in the Cold War, we must oppose them at every turn. In Ukraine, our opposition must be energetic, and accomplished without delay.
We should be encouraging the Ukrainian court to enforce its own laws to ensure the election's result reflects the citizenry's vote honestly. Yanukovych's 3% "win" cannot be corrected by a recount because the ballot boxes were stuffed and votes for Yushchenko were destroyed. A new vote should be held with international ballot monitors participating thoroughly. Putin's interference should be rebuffed diplomatically, with a statement from Colin Powell in terms as strong as he used to condemn the election fraud.
The Ukrainian people need to hear that the remedy for their economic problems is not to subordinate their freedom to Russia's ambition. Russian influence in Ukraine is built on two false premises. First, as always, is fear. But Russian tanks aren't going to be rolling down the streets of Kiev. There are reports that Russian special ops troops have infiltrated Kiev, but they could only be there to create fear. It would be reckless for Putin to order assassinations of Ukrainian judges or officials. Putin is many awful things, but reckless isn't one of them. We need to tell Ukrainians over and over that they will remain free if they choose to. Second, they need to know -- especially in the eastern regions -- that Russia isn't going to bring them prosperity. Russia's economy, though vastly better than it was under the Soviets, is in danger of stagnating because Putin is raising taxes and dealing with industry as if the government controls it, as well it may. Russia can't help Ukraine. It can only siphon economic life from it. Western investment in Ukrainian industry is much more likely to put Ukrainians back to work as free people.
Putin's Russia must be contained as Soviet Russia was. Putin, like the Soviet leaders before him, counts on the fact that America's attention can be diverted easily from Russian action. Ukraine is the first place we need to prove him wrong. It won't be the last.

The city of Cherokee Village is still facing uncertainty in regard to its 2011 budget.
Following a financial task force meeting, June 2, designated to clarify some questions regarding the amount of money the city needs to cut back, Mayor Lloyd Hefley stated to the council would review the items line by line at the July 7 meeting.
Many were present for the meeting and had questions, as Executive Assistant Terry Romans attempted to clarify budgetary questions.
Figures have ranged from the city reportedly operating on reserve funds in the amount of over $400,000 to needing to cut back $270,000 for the upcoming 2012 year.
When asked what the actual number the city was looking at, Mayor Hefley referred the question to Romans.
Romans produced a spreadsheet indicating the city is facing a deficit of $162,775 between June and December 2011.
A slide show presented by Romans examined revenue and expenses in administration and fire and street funds. The numbers reflect, if the city continues bringing in revenues as projected and curtails spending, the city should have to use very little of its cash reserves.
However, the numbers for the 2012 year indicate the City of Cherokee Village will have to increase revenue by at least $163,000 in order to maintain its current cash reserve level. This estimate removed one time expenditures, special projects and FEMA revenues, which the city cannot depend on annually.
Romans said the main reason for revenue shortfalls is the city has not received as much SID assessment revenues for the Street and Fire Departments as last year and these departments do not generate enough revenue to overcome the shortfall.
Members of council discussed many possibilities to raise revenues, but only minor ways to cut expenses.
Suggestions besides the one percent proposed sales tax included discussion about an advertising and promotions tax, a franchise fee and a millage increase.
One member of council said city departments are doing such things as turning the air conditioning to a higher temperature.
According to Lynn Maxedon, this will only save a fraction of what the city actually needs to cut back.
He also explained the city's expenses will increase in 2012 and the 2011 figures are not an accurate representation of actual projected expenses.
Other discussion included setting an amount the city will cover on employee health insurance and require employees to pay the additional cost.
Maxedon said, "It is time we do this like a non-government entity."
Alderwoman Verna Mae Newman was opposed to requiring employees to pick up the extra cost because she said they haven't received raises. The topic was left undecided, to be revisited in 2012.
Newman questioned the amount the city would gain by increasing the millage, which is currently 2 mills. Currently the millage is designated for the street department only.
The mayor informed Newman the city could designate the millage increase to go to needs it desired. He said the annual amount that comes to the city as a result of each mill is $47,000. Cherokee Village can increase its millage from 2 to 5 mills, but the issue would require a council vote.
The council voted to hold a special election for the 1% sales tax proposal in the meeting following the task force meeting.
During Roman's presentation, many were concerned with Animal Control, a department which has only $34 of the $5,000 budgeted for animal food.
During this discussion, former Alderman Peter Martin interjected there were never parameters set for animal control when the department was established, stating, "It has gone from an animal control to a humane society."
Chief Rickey Crook then spoke to council, explaining when the budget was made, he told them they needed more assistance with food, but council still set the amount at $5,000. He said he made it clear that this would not be enough.
Crook said council set the number hoping the non-profit entity would be able to get food from suppliers and donations.
Alderman Jerry Adams said, "I just don't think it is wise to keep running it and hoping for donations while other departments are cutting everywhere."
A member of the non-profit AHAH, established to raise money for the shelter, then spoke up, explaining that, due to the recent natural disasters, the shelter was at the bottom of the list with dog food companies for receiving food.
The representative added that they were trying to resolve the problem.
After Romans presented a second, extensive spreadsheet detailing revenues and expenses for every city department for calendar years 2009-2011, the council decided to move forward with a budget revision session at its July 7 meeting.

U.S. Rep. Steve Driehaus, about two months into his new job representing Ohio's 1st District, is one of 18 Democratic members of the House Financial Services Committee to send a letter to the CEO of Northern Trust in Chicago warning him to stop spending federal TARP bank bailout money on golf tournaments, parties and posh hotels. Committee Chairman Barney Frank initiated the letter to "insist" that the CEO "immediately return to the federal government the equivalent of what Northern Trust frittered away on these lavish events."
A group of state lawmakers will hold a Town Hall-style meeting Thursday to discuss issues affecting African-American residents in Greater Cincinnati.
The Ohio Legislative Black Caucus is sponsoring the event, called The State of African Americans in Ohio. Among those attending are State Sen. Eric Kearney (D-North Avondale), State Rep. Dale Mallory (D-West End) and State Rep. Alicia Reece (D-Bond Hill).
President Barack Obama announced a new trade action against China during a Cincinnati campaign stop on Monday, where he also took the opportunity to attack Republican challenger Mitt Romney.
The U.S. filed the case at the World Trade Organization on Monday and claims that China offers "extensive subsidies" to native automakers and auto-parts producers.
The Chinese government filed its own complaint before the WTO on Monday, challenging tariffs the U.S. imposes on Chinese products ranging from steel to tires. The tariffs are meant to protect American manufacturers against what the U.S. government claims are unfair trade practices by China.
"(The U.S. action is) against illegal subsidies that encourage companies to ship auto part manufacturing jobs overseas," Obama said before an estimated crowd of 4,500 at the Seasongood Pavilion in Eden Park. "These are subsidies that directly harm working men and women on the assembly lines in Ohio and Michigan and across the Midwest."
"It's not right, it's against the rules, and we will not let it stand. American workers build better products than anyone. 'Made in America' means something. And when the playing field is level, America will always win."
Obama went on to criticize his Republican challenger, saying Romney made his fortune in part by uprooting American jobs and shipping them to China. Obama accused Romney — who has criticized Obama's foreign policy, saying the president apologizes for American interests — of talking the talk without being able to walk the walk.
The Romney campaign countered with an email after the rally, saying that Obama's economic policies were hurting the private sector and harmed manufacturing.
"The President's misguided, ineffective policies have hampered the private sector and allowed China to flaunt the rules while middle-class families suffer," Romney campaign spokeswoman Amanda Henneberg wrote.
"As president, Mitt Romney will deliver a fresh start for manufacturers by promoting trade that works for America and fiscal policies that encourage investment, hiring and growth."
The email pointed to reports from Bloomberg finding that manufacturing and production have shrunk recently.
Before the Obama rally several Ohio Republicans held a news conference behind a Romney campaign bus near Eden Park, where they focused more on the deficit than foreign trade.
U.S. Rep. Steve Chabot said it was "laughable" that Obama considers himself a budget hawk. He pointed to the decline in budget negotiations between the president and the Republican-controlled House of Representatives, saying Obama "walked away" from talks with Speaker John Boehner.
"Basically as president from that time last August until now, it's been all politics," Chabot said.
Chabot also attacked Obama on foreign policy, claiming the president has left Israel hanging in the Middle East and is not serious with Iran, who he says is on the brink of getting nuclear weapons.
The president in his speech said he did have a plan to reduce the federal deficit, and would reduce it by $4 trillion over the next 10 years without raising taxes on the middle class.
Monday's visit to Cincinnati was Obama's second of this campaign and his 12th trip to Ohio this year. Romney has visited the state 18 times during his campaign.
Obama was scheduled to fly to Columbus Monday afternoon for a campaign appearance there.
There's a catch — municipal employees only get the raises and job security if the city's parking meters, garages and surface lots are leased to a private company for 30 years.
City Manager Milton Dohoney wants to lease the facilities for at least $40 million upfront and a share of parking profits for the next 30 years. He'd use $21 million of the upfront payment to patch a $34 million deficit in the city's budget.
During recent budget hearings before City Council, Dohoney said extra revenue was needed to avoid the layoff of 344 city employees.
In a memo to the mayor and city council members, Dohoney outlined the agreement between the city and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME).
Any municipal employees who will lose their jobs because of the deal would be placed in other city jobs with no loss of wages. No city employees covered by the union would be laid off between 2013 and 2016. City employees will receive a 1.5 percent cost of living raise for the 2013-2014 contract year and another 1 percent raise for the next contract year. AFSCME members will continue city vehicle maintenance work from 2013-2016.
However, if City Council doesn't approve of the plan to privatize parking, city employees get nothing.
Public employees in Cincinnati have not been given raises in almost four years. Meanwhile, council voted last month to give Dohoney a 10 percent raise and a $35,000 bonus. Dohoney had not received a merit raise since 2007, but had collected cost of living adjustments and bonuses over the years.
Former Ohio Superintendent of Public Instruction Stan Heffner, who was forced to resign amid controversy, has cashed out with $160,428.17. The money comes from saved-up vacation time, sick days and personal time. Heffner will get all this money, even though he had to resign in shame after an investigation from the Ohio inspector general found Heffner had been misusing state resources and used his political position to benefit his other employer.
The Horseshoe Casino is kicking off its hiring process for a new batch of employees. In total, the casino is seeking to fill 750 new positions. New employees must be 21 and have a high school diploma or GED, among other requirements. The casino says it's committed to keeping at least 90 percent of its workforce from the Greater Cincinnati area. It's currently estimated to open in spring 2013.
The early voting controversy has reached Hamilton County. The Democrats in City Council are pushing for extended in-person early voting hours as Democrats around the state accuse Republicans of voter suppression. The Hamilton County Board of Elections will decide on the voting hours issue tomorrow at 9 a.m.
Four Greater Cincinnati companies ranked in the 2012 Inc. 500 list of the fastest-growing businesses nationwide, up from one last year. This year, NorAm International Partners, Tiger Fitness, Graybach and Integrity Express Logistics made the list.

Much to the dismay one of Romney's surrogates, CNN's Soledad O'Brien called out the Romney campaign for propagating an impossible budget and spreading lies about Obamacare. John Sununu, who was on O'Brien's show on behalf of Romney, did not appreciate the lecture in reality, and he said O'Brien should wear an Obama bumper sticker on her forehead. Unfortunately for Sununu and the rest of the Romney team, it is true that Obamacare does not cut Medicare benefits to seniors, and it's also true Romney's plan is impossible without similar cuts to entitlement programs.
It seems like Mother Teresa may have died an atheist. At the very least, her faith in Catholicism was greatly diminished before death.

Some major decisions are expected in the next few days, and we're not referring to how the dithering, ineffectual Cincinnati City Council will finally close a $54 million deficit.
Rather, the decisions coming soon are who will replace Republican Chris Monzel on City Council, and who will replace Tom Callinan as editor at The Enquirer.
Somewhat of an agreement, anyway. Mallory said that the city and Duke will go before a judge in Common Pleas court, who will make the final decision as to who should pay for the utility relocation. According to the agreement, Duke Energy will begin moving its utilities in the next few weeks, and the court decision will determine cost responsibility later. The city and Duke are expected to file in Common Pleas court within the next few weeks, although the court decision could take years to finalize.
Roxanne Qualls, city council member and Democratic mayoral candidate, has long been a supporter of the streetcar project, which she values as an indispensable economic investment for the city of Cincinnati. Yesterday, Qualls announced her request for the city to ramp up the streetcar construction timeline in order to have the project completed in time for the All-Star Games, which will take place in Cincinnati July 2015. Her announcement came just weeks after the city revised its timetable to delay project completion until April 2016.
In a letter from Qualls to Mallory and Dohoney, she explains: "This may present a
challenge, but it is one I am sure the administration is capable of
meeting. The streetcar will serve a critical role in efficiently and
effectively moving visitors to and from Great American Ballpark and
allowing them to conveniently visit other venues such as Fountain
Square, Horseshoe Casino, Over-the-Rhine, Washington Park, etc."
At the meeting, Mallory announced that the city would shoot for construction to be completed prior to the games, but there were no guarantees. The streetcar builder will ultimately set the timeline for the project, according to Jason Barron, Mallory's director of public affairs.
CityBeat recently covered the streetcar project's delays and how the 2013 mayoral race could affect its progress here.
As part of CityBeat's continuing election coverage, we've once again sent a questionnaire to the non-incumbent Cincinnati City Council candidates to get their reactions on a broad range of issues.
Nine of the 14 non-incumbents chose to answer our questions. Others either didn't respond or couldn't meet the deadline.
During the next few weeks, we will print the responses from the non-incumbents to a different topic each time.
Today's question is, "Do you believe City Council should continue taking its two-month summer break, or should it meet weekly during the summer?"
Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus held a conference call with Ohio reporters Wednesday morning in response to Tuesday comments by Democratic Vice President Joe Biden that the middle class had been "buried" in the last four years.
"Obama and Biden have buried the middle class, and now they want to bury them some more," Priebus told reporters.
"I mean, just imagine what Barack Obama would do. He buried us economically in this country knowing that he would have to face re-election. Just imagine what he would do with nothing but daylight in front of him. Just imagine where this economy would go."
Biden made his comments before an audience of about 1,000 in Charlotte on Tuesday. He said Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's tax cuts for millionaires would raise taxes for the middle class.
"How can they justify raising classes on a middle class that has been buried the last four years?" Biden said.
Biden tried to clarify that he meant they had been buried by policies supported by Romney and his running mate Paul Ryan.
Republicans, however, jumped on the comment immediately, with Romney tweeting, "the middle class has been buried the last 4 years, which is why we need a change in November."
Priebus said despite polling showing Obama pulling ahead of Romney in Ohio that the state would be very close. He said Republicans have a better ground game and would "crush" Democrats.
"I think we're going to crush the Democrats on the ground," Priebus said.
"I just don't think they've got a very good ground game. I've looked through it, I've seen it. It's all smoke and mirrors."
Priebus said if Romney were to lose Ohio, he was still optimistic about Wisconsin, Iowa, Colorado and Nevada.
"We've got it all on the table. Ohio is, of course, extremely important. It's nothing new, but I also see avenues to 270 (electoral votes) opening up for Mitt Romney in places that weren't there in '08."

"Lovely boutique hotel in Montmartre" Le Chat Noir Design Hotel Tip by katerina-dale
Le Chat Noir Design Hotel, Paris: 705 reviews and 2 photos
Anyone that would prefer a hotel with character and quality, looking to stay around Montmartre should consider this one as a place to choose.
The staff are discrete and very helpful when asked. Of course as anywhere in France, knowing to get around in French is a big plus as not all staff are fluent in English.
On the last night we asked for an impossible task: for them to book a table in the very popular Ciel de Paris and they managed to do this straight away for us arranging everything. That was impressive when you normally need to book far ahead.
The breakfast is a bit expensive as it is in all hotels in Paris so I would recommend to opt out and go to a local salon de the instead or just get a freshly baked pain au chocolat from the lovely bakery round the corner.
The room we had was lovely and spacious and very quiet as it was a deluxe so I think spending a bit more always helps. But all the rooms seem to be very pleasantly decorated.
Unique Qualities: 2 minutes from the Moulin Rouge and from the underground so great connections to visit the city. some good restaurants around the area.
Address: 68 Boulevard de Clichy, (formerly "Du Chat Noir"), Paris, Ile-de-France, 75018, France
Price Comparison: about average
Directions: Montmartre area, Blanche underground stop
Phone: 331-426-41526
Price: US$40-80

It Fits Your Brain: the Ninth Annual International Python Conference
The Ninth Annual International Python Conference was held March 5-8, 2001, at the Long Beach Hilton in Long Beach, California. Over 300 people attended. This article covers some observations made by a web developer, with a special emphasis on the funny things that were said. In case some of you are unaware, Python is a programming language; its home page is www.python.org, and a helpful tutorial is posted there.
Guido van Rossum, Python's BDFL (Benevolant Dictator for Life), introduced the conference theme, "Python Fits Your Brain"--not everybody's brain, but at least the brains of those who like it. Guido has always preferred to make the language work well for its adherents (and especially for himself) rather than try to please everybody. Not only programmers but also artists, scientists and teachers are finding Python well suited for their work.
PythonLabs, the team of core Python developers, is now happily situated at Digital Creations, the company that makes Zope. (Zope is a web application server written in Python; see their web site.) Those who fear Python might become straightjacketed to Zope's wishes need not be concerned. Zope clearly has some clout over Python now, but the language will remain independent. In fact, the benefits are two-way because Zope also has some goodies for Python, like the Z Object Database (for a tutorial, see A. M. Kucheling's "ZODB/ZEO Programming Guide").
Since last year, some six to eight hundred bugs have been reported and squashed. Python 2.1 has some nifty new features: nested scopes, a warnings framework, pydoc and weak references, to name a few. Guido is especially excited about pydoc, a program that finds a module and prints its docstrings and structure in a format similar to a man page. "You can even run it as a server and point a web browser at it", he explained.
Guide also announced the Python Software Foundation (PSF) (www.python.org/psf), a non-profit organization to hold Python's copyright, which is described as follows: "Modeled after the successful Apache Software Foundation, the PSF's mandate is to provide educational, legal and financial resources to the Python community. Responsible for holding Python's intellectual property, the PSF will also act as an educational resource, maintain the Python web site and foster Python user groups."
Last year, Guido used the code name "Python 3000" to refer to a mythical future version that would be perfect but not necessarily backward-compatible. Since then, the Python team has realized that a quantum leap is not necessary. All desired changes can be implemented gradually using the new warnings framework and the __future__ module to give users a transition period (see "What's New in Python 2.1" for more information).
He then introduced Python Enhancement Proposals (PEPs) (see python.sourceforge.net/peps). A PEP document proposes one change to the language or to the standard library, and it serves as the definitive summary of the arguments for and against it. This replaces the disorganized free-for-all under which past language enhancements were debated (and then lost in the forest of newsgroup archives). It works great, Guido says, when somebody gets a bright idea that was rejected six months ago, "except when it's your bright idea that's being rejected".
He was so excited about Pippy, a port of Python 1.5.2+ for the Palm Pilot, that he got a PalmOS 3.5 upgrade just because it was "so cool". He thinks Python is a perfect match for small end embedded platforms. To facilitate this, the Python team must be extra diligent to avoid code bloat so that Python can run in 8MB of RAM with space for application code and data.
Paul Everett, head of Digital Creations (DC), opened the Zope track of presentations at the conference. "Zope is finally maturing", he said. 2001 will be the Year of the Zope Books; five will be published by the end of the year. DC has three goals for Zope this year: increase its public profile, ease the learning curve and increase its use in enterprise situations.
"The Python language combines power and simplicity", he said. "Zope has at least half of that." Zope's main users are developers now, so DC is moving Zope to a more component-centric and developer-friendly architecture. Three major concepts that looked great at the beginning but have since shown their limitations (acquisition, inheritance and DTML) are being supplanted by other concepts that contain fewer "gotchas".

In modern computer systems, privacy and security are mandatory. However, connections from the outside over public networks automatically imply risks. One easily available solution to avoid eavesdroppers' attempts is SSH. But, its wide adoption during the past 21 years has made it a target for attackers, so hardening your system properly is a must.
Additionally, in highly regulated markets, you must comply with specific operational requirements, proving that you conform to standards and even that you have included new mandatory authentication methods, such as two-factor authentication. In this ebook, I discuss SSH and how to configure and manage it to guarantee that your network is safe, your data is secure and that you comply with relevant regulations.Get the Guide

Facebook's been around long enough now that we don't think twice about the information we share. E-mail address? No problem. Bachelor party photos? Duh. Auntie Linda's chili recipe? Sure.
But what if someone walked up to you on the sidewalk and tried to get you to broadcast that exact same information to a bunch of strangers?
Two of the dudes from Hungry Beast tried to do just that, and it looks like people might be a little more shy IRL.

I'm creating a new plugin for WordPress that requires an outside website to use a web service. For instance, if there are two sites, A and B, the plugin will be installed on A with all associated data stored in WPDB for Site A. Site B will use the web service to grab data in XML format from Site A.
Is this possible? What would be the most secure way of pulling this off?
I could just have the web service as a PHP file in my plugin, but that's going to require the outside domain to hit something like: http://www.domain.com/wp-content/plugins/plugin-folder/web-service.php. It seems like a bad idea to expose the level of depth of the Wordpress setup.
I could have my plugin create a few files in the root so that the web service call would be to http://www.domain.com/web-service.php, but having my plugin install stuff outside of the plugin directory also seems like a bad practice.
Another thought: Could I put the file in my plugin folder, but add a line in .htaccess to make http://www.domain.com/web-service.php go to it?
Does anyone have any thoughts on the best, most secure way to go about this?

The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) accredits business schools through a rigorous self-evaluation and peer-review process. AACSB online MBA programs generally receive a much greater degree of trust from both students and employers. The web-based format of AACSB-accredited online MBA programs can be ideal if you are an adult with family or work responsibilities, because schedules are designed to allow you to complete your AACSB accredited MBA coursework at your own pace. Some schools offer AACSB-accredited MBA programs that are No-GMAT - meaning you don't have to take a standardized test to be accepted into the program.
Click on one of the schools listed below to begin your search for the program that best matches your needs.
Schools with AACSB accreditation are considered to be among the top busines schools in the world. Programs at all levels - bachelor's, master's and doctorate - undergo rigorous testing to ensure they meet high standards. The standards for AACSB accreditation involve all phases of a degree program, including teaching, research and student learning.
Examples of the AACSB process with schools includes:
According to the AACSB, schools that are AACSB-accredited have better programs, faculty and students with higher average GPAs. They typically are also the programs from which business employers recruit, leading to higher salaries upon graduation.
AACSB accreditation is also very difficult to achieve and signifies a school has passed the most rigorous of tests. According to the AACSB, 86% of AACSB-accredited schools say that the AACSB accreditation is the hardest one to earn.
Online education continues to grow in popualrity. Part of the reason is that earning a degree online allows busy professionals the opportunity to schedule coursework around work schedules. Also, the costs of living on campus and other associated costs are eliminated.
Completing an AACSB-accredited MBA program from an AACSB accredited school can give you a significant edge over competitors who hold only bachelor's degrees, as well as those who earned their distance learning MBA from non-accredited institutions. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, professions such as financial manager, which employ many MBA holders, will expand by 9% through 2022.

It's finally here! Or coming soon (pun intended).
This week, after years of debate, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) gave what WaPo is calling, "the green light to the virtual red-light district." The approval grants ICM Registry's .XXX web suffix with the same rights as .com, .net, .co.uk and other top level domains (TLDs).
While registrars will set their own end user pricing, .XXX domains will wholesale for around $60 per domain. They will likely be available for purchase within the next three months.
But before you rush out to get whitehouse.xxx, know that registry operators are obligated to set aside a number of names designated by ICANN. In addition, they will set aside certain geographic, culturally significant and other names.
But not everyone is smelling the roses for dedicated porn URLs. The Obama Administration and some foreign nations will claim that the domain's offensive material will only encourage oppressive regimes to block .xxx entirely. And then, of course, there are the morality cops.
So far, the only official Obama Administration response is,
"We are disappointed that ICANN ignored the clear advice of governments worldwide, including the US. This decision goes against the global public interest, and it will open the door to more Internet blocking by governments and undermine the stability and security of the Internet."
— Assistant Commerce Secretary Lawrence Strickling
For everything you would want to know about the new TLDs, you can visit the ICM Registry.
That's the only way I can describe the op-ed that was in the WaPo Sunday edition, titled "One and done: To be a great president, Obama should not seek reelection in 2012". This is by Douglas E. Schoen and Patrick H. Caddell, two well respected Democratic strategists.
They say, in part, "… If the president goes down the reelection road, we are guaranteed two years of political gridlock at a time when we can ill afford it. But by explicitly saying he will be a one-term president, Obama can deliver on his central campaign promise of 2008, draining the poison from our culture of polarization and ending the resentment and division that have eroded our national identity and common purpose."
Read the full piece here. http://wapo.st/b7GvcL
Wow! So much happened yesterday that I want to talk about. I'm not sure where to begin.
First let's start with Don't Ask Don't Tell. We all read yesterday with a happy heart that DADT was ruled unconstitutional by U.S. District Court Judge Virginia Phillips, of Riverside, California. In her decision, she said that the 17 year old law.
What will President Obama do? His Justice Department now has 60 days to appeal the decision. That, ironically, is after the self-mandated December 1st deadline set forth by Defense Secretary Robert Gates on the review of the DADT policy.
Kerry Eleveld of The Advocate tells us that "Justice Department attorneys may seek to appeal Phillips's injunction to the U.S. court of appeals for the ninth circuit. They have argued that the district judge does not have the authority to block DADT."
E.J. Dionne, of WaPo has a great op-ed in today issue. He writes, "You can be gay and serve – as long as nobody knows you are gay. Or as long as nobody who knows tells anyone else you are gay. Or as long as nobody finds out you are gay. It just doesn't make much sense, and what can be a greater violation of individual rights than the demand that someone keep an important part of his or her identity secret? Not to mention that the policy invited dishonesty — and, potentially, intimidation and blackmail."
And as many within the LGBT community cheer this decision, they need to stop and be reminded who brought this case. It was the Log Cabin Republicans. It makes me proud to say that I am apart of their leadership.

This recipe was awesome. I loved the combination of the fresh fruit with the sweet pecans. The dressing was lively and I loved the flavor from the thyme. Instead of mint, I used basil. I will definitely make again. Made for ZWT 8.
Oh gailanng, this is a 10 star recipe!
All were impressed from this wonderful salad! I can't explain in words how good it was!
A highly recommended recipe!
What a wonderful and refreshing salad!!! Just loved the mango and kiwi, but the star of the salad had to be those wonderful sweet pecans, yummy!!! The dressing is also very fresh and a little citrus flavor, which I also love!! Thanks so much for sharing a yummy salad for this part of ZWT8.
What a truly delicious salad gailanng. It was light and refreshing and bursting with flavors. I loved that you could taste all the individual flavors and that nothing was overpowering. The dressing was a delight all on its own, sweet, tart, spicy and savory. Mmmm. Thanks for sharing this lovely recipe which has gone into my Favorites Cookbook for 2012...Kudos. Made for the Fearless Red Dragons - ZWT8 - Australia.

Press release: Experts around the world oppose import of Swaziland elephants to the US
Press release published 26 October 2015:
Elephant Experts From Around the World Oppose Proposed Import of 18 Elephants
from Swaziland to Zoos in Texas, Nebraska and Kansas
"The capture and removal of wild elephants from their home ranges and social groups is appalling and archaic, and the threat to kill elephants unless permits are issued is beyond unethical."
Dr. Joyce Poole
Washington D.C., October 26, 2015 -- More than 75 elephant experts from across the globe have joined together today to announce their outrage and opposition to the proposed import of 18 elephants from Swaziland by the Dallas Zoo in Texas; Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha, Nebraska; and Sedgwick County Zoo in Wichita, Kansas. The zoos' request for a permit to import these elephants has just been published in the U.S. Federal Register and is open to public comment. (Download Expert Statement, 750 kB)

Joyce's Gorongosa Snippet 10 May 2015
Through ElephantVoices on Facebook we mentioned that Joyce will be working in Gorongosa for a couple of weeks. Below is a first Snippet from the field. She will try to update you in the days to come.
The journey from Sandefjord to Gorongosa was two days long - waking up at 04:15 for Petter to take me to the airport on 8th May and arriving at the park at 18:30 on 9th May, and a night spent in a Johannesburg Hotel. I was met at the Beira Airport, along the coast of Mozambique by wonderful, warm, Vasco Galante, Communications Director for the Gorongosa Restoration Project. Vasco was in Beira for other reasons and offered to pick me up - along with an old, spray-painted, steely-blue bicycle. More about the bicycle later.
One reason for the potholes is that in the 18 months since I was last here the timber trade has exploded. It was pretty terrible then and is now completely horrifying. Vasco said he passed at least 100 flatbed trucks loaded with the carcasses of massive hardwood trees. One after another they came lumbering down the road with their dreadful cargo bound for China; depots piled high with timber, and
