Is the Chinese Government Spying on Skype Users in China?

Sohu and Alibaba also make the news.
China Watch: Top Business News From the World's Second Largest Economy
Smartphone shipments in China are projected to jump to 460 million by 2017, said research firm IDC.
Currently, smartphones make up some 58% of all handsets sold in the mainland, which has more than 1 billion mobile subscribers. The figure is forecast to rise to 78.4% by the end of 2013, and a dominant 90.1% by 2017, according to IDC.
Chinese wireless customers are making the switch to smartphones thanks to falling prices.
reported that smartphones now go for as low as less than 1,000 yuan ($160) in the mainland. Typically, it is domestic companies like
(SHE:000063) and
(SHE:002502) that produce these cheap smartphones.
According to
IDC's analysis
(NASDAQ:GOOG) will continue to be the leading smartphone platform through 2017, with
(NASDAQ:AAPL) a distant second. The firm expects
(NASDAQ:MSFT) to grow its share in the next four years to become third in the China market. As of the end of 2012, Android represented 86.4% of China's smartphone market, with Apple's iOS holding an 8.6% stake.
Here is the week's business news.
Skype's chat service is being used by the Chinese government to spy on its citizens, according to research done by University of New Mexico computer-science graduate student Jeffrey Knockel.
reported that Knockel found that the Skype program in China scans chat messages for specific words and phrases, such as "Tiananmen" and "Amnesty International." When these words appear, the entire message is sent to Skype servers in China, along with "the account's username, time and date of transmission, and whether the message was sent or received by the user." Knockel could not determine what was done with the information at the server, but it is more than likely that it would be sent to the Chinese authorities.
Due to Chinese regulations, Microsoft operates Skype in China through a joint venture with local firm TOM Online. The Redmond, Washington-based company had no comment on the possible surveillance of its TOM-Skype service.
According to Knockel, who received an A+ grade for his work on this project, many other Chinese chat services also spy on their users, including
(NASDAQ:BIDU) Hi,
(NASDAQ:SINA) UC, and
Speculation that
(NASDAQ:SOHU) might de-list from the
(INDEXNASDAQ:.IXIC) arose after a report from the
South China Morning Post
this week said that the online media company was in talks with investment banks, including
Credit Suisse
(NYSE:CS) and private equity buyers to take the firm private.
The chief source of discontent of, according to an anonymous source the
spoke to, Sohu CEO Charles Zhang believed that Sohu "is significantly undervalued at present in terms of share price performance." Sohu is currently trading around $44 a share, which gives it a market capitalization of some $1.7 billion.
Sohu, however, quickly killed off the speculation, and released a
press release
that said it "is not talking to investment banks and private equity funds about a possible plan to take the company private and/or delist its common stock from the NASDAQ Global Select Market. No such discussions are in progress or currently contemplated."
A wave of Chinese companies, including
Shanda Interactive
(NASDAQ:SNDA) and
Focus Media
(NASDAQ:FMCN), have de-listed from US exchanges in recent years due to poor stock performances and accusations of accounting irregularities.
China's largest e-commerce company,
Alibaba Group
(HKG:1688), is weighing a public offering on the Nasdaq, reported the
South China Morning Post
quoted two insider sources who said that Alibaba executives had met with a Nasdaq representative in Hong Kong this week to discuss listing in the US. Previously, it had been speculated that Alibaba would choose Hong Kong for its listing. The firm's Alibaba.com unit was listed on the Hong Kong before being taken private last June.
With an estimated valuation is currently $40 billion, Alibaba could be the biggest tech IPO ever, and would represent a big coup for either the Nasdaq or the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
Alibaba's e-commerce business includes China's largest business-to-consumer, and business-to-business platforms, and it generates revenue through online advertising and subscription fees.

Hi Guys! Sorry for the lack of pretty but I'm busy working on new comics!
Where, you ask? The comic has moved over to:
The reasons for moving the comic are many-fold but suffice it to say it is a better tool for updating the comic - and having the interaction with my fans I'd like - than I've been able to find in the past.
You will find the comic at the same place over at the new URL but it will be updating on Saturdays from now on. (I have a buffer. ;) )
Thank you all so much for supporting me through this extended hiatus, and I hope you all continue to enjoy Hidden Disguises.
See you on the new URL!
-Renee "Witchiebunny"

A friend made this salad for an outing last summer and I've thought about it ever since, so was delighted to find the recipe. It is so different and just delicious. We've made it with radishes instead of jicama, and cilantro, and I think adding a little bit of orange zest to the oil and lime juice adds an extra level of flavor.
Fennel & Orange Salad with Toasted Pistachios
From EatingWell: February/March 2005
For this elegant salad, sweet-tasting fennel bulbs are thinly sliced and tossed with salty toasted pistachios, sweet oranges and tangy lime juice. Jícama or radishes add another layer of texture and earthy flavor.
3 Reviews for Fennel & Orange Salad with Toasted Pistachios
I made this salad with jicama instead of radishes; the first time with cilantro and the second time, with fresh mint. Go with the mint - it's incredible! IMO, the cilantro was overpowering and tasted like dirt.

NASCAR made an announcement on Thursday that it hopes will go a long way in making sure that races end under green. Previously, NASCAR would make one attempt at a green-white-checker finish. If a caution came out after that first attempt, a race would simply end under caution.
"We want to do all we can to finish our races under green flag conditions," NASCAR Vice President of Competition Robin Pemberton said.
NASCAR has changed the number of attempts from one to a maximum of three.
"We felt that putting a cap at three attempts to finish the race under green is the way to go," Pemberton said. "It gives the fans what they want, and it also gives the teams a better opportunity to prepare for their end of race strategy."
With the increase in possible attempts, races will be less likely to end under caution, and the cap of three will prevent races from going on and on, throwing a monkey wrench, if you will, into race strategy by adding a significant number of laps to a race's scheduled distance.
Prior to the green-white-checker rule being introduced in the Sprint Cup and Nationwide series several years ago, it was already utilized in the Camping World Truck Series. When use of the rule spread to the other two series, the one attempt only feature was added. When it was only utilized in the Truck Series, there was no limit on the number of attempts made.
To rule change takes effect immediately and may be utilized during today's Gatorade Duel races.

If you're planning on making home repairs this summer, beware. The Warren County Sheriff's Department is looking into a possible scam involving driveway sealant.
The department has received two reports of a group of people offering to reseal driveways, then they charge customers more than the set price.
Ray Ring was home alone when three men knocked on his door and offered to seal his driveway.
"They said, 'would you like to get it done - we have the truck right here and we can get it done immediately,'" Ray said.
Ray called his wife, June, and she told him not to pay over $100. So Ray was surprised when the $80 he was quoted wasn't what the workers were asking for at the end of the day.
"I asked him how much and he figured it up on his fingers and said $888," Ray said.
June was also shocked at the amount when she returned home.
"I said, 'well how much?' And he said $888 and I said, 'oh no, you're kidding?' So we went to the checkbook and it said $888," June explained.
The Rings called the bank to stop payment on the check, but discovered it had already been cashed.
"I'm so used to using local people that are honest and you don't think of anybody taking you off like that," Ray said.
The Rings are using their experience as a lesson learned. In the future, they'll use a local company with a good reputation.
The Rings said the men promised to come back to finish the driveway, but they're still waiting for them to return.
June said usually when they get their driveway repaired, it costs around $165.

Valve has pushed back the expected release date for its Steam Machine consoles and the Steam controllers from 2014 to 2015. A post on the Steam blog from Valve's Eric Hope explains that the company has made the decision to extend the development period primarily to fix issues with the Steam controller, suggesting that the actual Steam Machines are good to go.
Prototypes of the controller have been used in tests already and a lot of feedback has come as result of those trial runs with consumers. Some people did not like Valve's decision to go for touch pads instead of analog sticks, while some feel that it is a unique but worthwhile change from other console controllers.
We're now using wireless prototype controllers to conduct live playtests, with everyone from industry professionals to die-hard gamers to casual gamers. It's generating a ton of useful feedback, and it means we'll be able to make the controller a lot better. Of course, it's also keeping us pretty busymaking all those improvements. Realistically, we're now looking at a release window of 2015, not 2014. – Eric Hope
Since Valve's blog post only applies to its own Steam Machine consoles, there is always the possibility for third-party devices to come out sometime this year. However, even that seems somewhat unlikely if the controller is in need of more work.

In the mid 18th century, a small band of men, driven by the pursuit of righteousness fought off the most powerful army in the world to start a new nation founded upon a noble idea. A bunch of back country peasants faced an onslaught of well trained soldiers, both on land and sea, and won. How was this possible? It was possible because they were fighting for what was right. The age old story of David and Goliath. Not only were they willing to die for their ideals, but their ideals were righteous.
It is not in style today to declare what is right. It is greeted with accusations of being intolerant, close-minded, and bigoted, and these accusations are justified. If you are for what is right, then you must be against what is wrong, not willing to accept error or tolerate immoral behavior, and down-right prejudiced against evil. Not standing for what is right leaves society in a very weak position, not knowing if its members are being deceived and suspecting that most don't even care.
Not only does this rob the public of thinking through controversial issues, but even the most obvious right behavior, like telling the truth, is no longer a sacred and valued ideal. But what is right? One man's right is not anther's, or is it?. To even ask this question, demonstrates the extent of the mire we find ourselves in. Conservatives would lean on tradition, whereas Progressives would be opposed to many of those same traditions. That is not to imply that Progressives do not have standards and absolutes.
Environmental preservation and global warming would be such Progressive standards, but here is where the pursuit of righteousness comes into play. God himself set up man as the manager and protector of the environment. Both Progressives and Conservatives would agree that environmental care is moral imperative. What is in dispute is how this is to be accomplished. Opinion, disguised as fact would lead us to conclusions that would take away resources that would interfere with our ability to protect the environment.

Mark and TSA
Bringing out the best and the most each individual has to offer is a trademark of the TSA. Founder and Director, Mark Talbott, is truly "shaping the future of squash".
Coaching at Stanford
Mark's move to the west coast as Director of Squash at Stanford has significantly impacted the national development of squash on every level. Eight years ago, Stanford announced that they were elevating the women's club squash program to varsity status for the 2006-07 season. This is the first women's or men's varsity squash program on the west coast. He is Head Coach of both the Men's and Women's programs at Stanford. Mark came to Stanford after his 2003-2004 undefeated season as coach of the Yale Women's squash team.
Sporting Past
Squash Hall of Fame Inductee Talbott is recognized for his unmatched tournament record during his twelve year reign as the #1 ranked squash professional in North America. Talbott, who won 70 percent of the tournaments he entered as the World Hardball Champion and American Softball Champion, was the World Professional Squash Association Player of the Year (1983, '86, '87, '88, '89, '90, '91, '92) eight times and an Olympic Athlete of the Year (1991, '92, '95) on three occasions.
In addition, he captained the first USA Team to compete in the Pan Am Games (1995), earned the Sharif Khan Award for Sportsmanship (1991) and won the USSRA President's Cup (1989). He was featured in numerous magazines during his illustrious playing career, among them Gentlemen's Quarterly, New Yorker, Esquire and twice in Sports Illustrated. His major titles among more than 250 career tournament victories include five North American Opens, six World Professional Championships, three Canadian Opens, two U.S. Opens, three Boston Opens, three S.L. Green Softball Nationals and a pair of North American Open Doubles titles.
A word from Mark
"I would like to dedicate this summer's Talbott Squash Academy sessions in memory of my father George Douglas Talbott who shared his love of the sport with our family. We grew up in a house with six children in Dayton Ohio. My grandfather, Nelson Talbott, built the house which included a squash court. I enjoy passing on to the campers my passion for the sport. I share many personal stories with them of my experiences on and off court from 40 years of playing and traveling. The past couple of summers have been extra special for me to have my son Nick join us in coaching and story telling with the students.
It is rewarding for me to teach the kids the simple techniques and steps that I have learned to help improve their swings and ball control and also to relate to them what it was like mentally to compete at the highest level for 17 years. I find by the third day of camp, the entire group is focusing and executing what I like to call the "shake and bake". I believe in a simple, clear approach that I see works with all of the camps and our Stanford Squash teams. The biggest reward though for me is that I know each and every one of the students that comes to our Academy has fun and enjoys the week while learning the most effective ways to compete. They also make new friendships at camp which lasts for many years. This represents to me what squash camp should be about."

College Hockey:White, Wet, Wild and Wooly
Clarkson Gets Last Laugh Against Tenacious Dartmouth
ALBANY, N.Y. — Was it Mike Willemsen's nifty goal with nary four minutes to play in the second period, giving Clarkson a 3-1 lead, that put upstart Dartmouth to rest?
Oh, no, it was actually Chris D'Alvise's deke at 5:05 of the third, to put the Knights up 4-2, that actually sealed it.
Think again.
The Big Green were big trouble for the second-seeded — but popularly-favored — Golden Knights, as the Ivy skaters pulled even despite the pair of third-period two-goal deficits. Not until junior Steve Zalewski roofed a breakaway shot over Mike Devine's blocker with 41 seconds remaining was the scoreboard set for good.
"It was a great college hockey game," said Dartmouth head coach Bob Gaudet. "It was a slugfest. It went back and forth; they got the last shot, and they won."
Clarkson's George Roll may as well have been reading from the same script.
"Great college hockey game. It seemed like the last guy to get a shot was gonna win it in the third."
The 5-4 victory vaulted Clarkson into the ECACHL championship game for the first time since March 2004. Dartmouth was again denied a shot at its first league tournament title.
The five-goal glut in the final frame seemed out of place in retrospect, as only four goals were scored in the first 40 minutes of play. The teams played evenly to open the game, with neither side gaining a distinct advantage.
Clarkson rang Devine's post with 13 minutes on the board, and again on the power play six minutes later. Frustrated but not finished, the Knights saw the red light rather than settling for just seeing red.
On the first power play of the game, Shawn Weller collected a lively rebound off his own initial shot, and roofed it from close range just underneath the crossbar. The goal judge was on Weller's side, but referee Peter Feola wasn't so sure. The brief replay powwow confirmed the judge's observations, and the Clarkson offense was off and running.
With 4:06 left in the first and again on the man-advantage, Weller again had a beauty of an opportunity. Receiving a straight feed across the crease, Weller uncorked a textbook one-timer, but Devine's left pad was there to meet it.
The Golden Knights took their first penalty — one of only three on the evening — with three minutes to go, but even the penalty-kill unit seemed to dominate the Green.
On the advantage again two minutes into the second, Clarkson displayed one of a game full of brilliant offensive setups, rattling Devine right off the drop. The transition game and possession-offense were spotty despite their occasional genius, and Dartmouth tied the tilt at 8:48 of the second on a low line drive by Rob Pritchard, who fired it low to David Leggio's left from the high slot.
Clarkson regained the lead only 38 seconds later, as a Nick Dodge shot bounced off Devine and around a crowded crease, eventually to be deposited by a Dartmouth skate. Only a few seconds after that, Clarkson's Tim Marks nearly dangled his way around Devine, but couldn't finish.
Knight defender Michael Grenzy separated Hobey Baker finalist David Jones from the puck, and nearly his skates with a crushing hit in open ice with five minutes to go. The proceeding play eventually resulted in another Clarkson goal, as Dan Tuttle put a pass on Willemsen's stick in the low slot with four minutes and change on the clock. Willemsen ignored the Green defense on his back, and somehow slid the puck underneath a prostrate Devine for the two-goal lead.
However, Dartmouth wasn't going to give up so easily. The Green made it 3-2 three and a half minutes into the third, as senior defenseman Grant Lewis floated a forgettable 25-foot shot on net from the right-wing circle. The disk eluded Leggio, and gave Dartmouth new life.
Not quite a minute and a half later, Clarkson turned the heat way up as Chris D'Alvise received a Shea Guthrie pass in the Dartmouth slot. Moving from Devine's left to his right, the sophomore forward deked to his backhand, and the right-handed shot then pulled the puck back behind the committed goaltender to wrap it in.
T.J. Galiardi kept the goals coming at the 6:16 mark of the third, whipping a wrister over Leggio's glove from low on the right wing circle.
As though by United Nations ceasefire, the teams held their ground for the following 12 minutes of game time until Dartmouth looked to send the game to overtime.
J.T. Wyman took a Kevin Swallow feed low to Leggio's left, and put a seeing-eye shot into the twine to knot the game at 4.
But before the Green Gathering in the Times-Union Center stands could sit down again, Zalewski put a Golden dagger through the Ivy's heart. Taking a pass from Weller, Zalewski flew down the left wing. Despite being hampered by desperate Dartmouth defenders, the 33-point scorer notched his 16th of the year with a wrister over Devine's blocker.
"It's not easy," Gaudet said of the loss.
The Green put their NCAA at-large hopes on the line against regular-season champ St. Lawrence Saturday afternoon. The Big Green were 0-2-0 against the Saints this season.
"We get to put the jersey on tomorrow," said Dartmouth captain Tanner Glass. "We're proud of our school, and we're proud of our team."
Clarkson looks forward to Quinnipiac, 4-0 victors over SLU in the early game.
"If we come back with that kind of game tomorrow night, it's going to be another great game," said Roll.
The Knights split the season series with the Bobcats, with each team winning on the road. Clarkson is playing for its first ECACHL tourney title since 1998-99, and for the best possible seed in the NCAA tournament. The team was tied for third in the PairWise at press time.

Maryland Loan Modification & Bankruptcy Attorneys
When you worked so hard to keep your home, the threat of losing it is devastating. At Laura Margulies & Associates, LLC, in Rockville and Greenbelt, Maryland, we have helped clients find solutions to their difficult financial situations since 1993. We will help you fight to avoid home foreclosure.
Under President Obama's Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP), mortgage companies are encouraged to enter into loan modification agreements with homeowners. If you cannot make your current payment on your home and are at risk of foreclosure, contact Laura Margulies & Associates, LLC for a consultation about modifying your home loan.
Do You Qualify to Modify Your Loan?
Not everyone is going to qualify for loan modification. You have to show that you can make some mortgage payment and there are income and other criteria that you have to pass in order for a mortgage company to even consider your request. For example, if you are unemployed with no prospect of future employment, a loan modification is unlikely.
Do You Need an Attorney for Loan Modification?
The loan modification process was supposed to make it possible for individuals and families to modify their loans without an attorney. Unfortunately, many people who try to modify their mortgages on their own do not get anywhere.
Many individuals have experienced the same thing – they do not hear from the mortgage companies until months after they fill out the paperwork. Then, they must wait months for a trial, only to find out afterwards that their request was denied.
Furthermore, loan modifications are voluntary. Mortgage companies and banks do not have any strict criteria that they must follow. They can take as long as they like to decide a case. An experienced loan modification attorney can help speed up the process and increase your chances for success.
How Can Laura Margulies & Associates, LLC Help?
Washington, D.C. and Maryland bankruptcy attorney Laura Margulies has more than 20 years of experience in bankruptcy law and has been interviewed by reporters and journalists about multiple areas of debt relief. Together with attorney she has worked professionally with hundreds of mortgage companies and is able to directly contact those companies and banks to negotiate loan modifications.
Our experienced bankruptcy attorneys can help you:
- Complete the paperwork you need to modify your loan
- Verify that everything you need for a loan modification, including proof of income, is included in your application
- Communicate with your mortgage company for a smooth process
- Negotiate the terms of your loan modification with your mortgage company
- Represent you in loan modification proceedings or Chapter 13 bankruptcy hearings
Avoid Loan Modification Scams
While lawyers can charge their normal fees, other businesses must wait until a loan is modified to charge for their loan modification services. Companies scam clients into paying them a non-refundable fee before the process is finished and then telling them that their lenders will not work with them. There are many scam operations trying to do loan modifications. They are not qualified and are just trying to get your money. If you have already been scammed, our law firm can explain what you need to do to get your money back. Then, we can help you through a proper loan modification process.

Over at Beyond the Picket Fence, Becky says that she found this little work table in the burn pile at her local fairground. Based on the chicken poop she scrubbed off of it, Becky thinks it must have been used in the one of the barns. It was in really rough shape.
After a thorough cleaning, Becky transformed the trashed table into a handy work station for her kitchen. The bright red and white paint keeps things looking fresh, and the handy hooks make it easy to have towels and cloths there were you need them. It's a fun, useful addition to Becky's kitchen.

I noticed the last few days that my battlefield stats are acting weird. I am working to finish all the premium assignments and have completed all but the wench weilder assignment. I have already completed the 25 shotgun kills multiple times but for some reason it is saying on battlelog and in the game that I still need to complete it. If I use a shotgun in a round and get the 25 kills it will say I have completed that assignment but when I go back to the menu it says I still need to complete it. Also, I just recently complete my engineering service star 3 but I never got the 10000 points or anything saying that I completed it. Is anyone else having this problem?
Are you sure you never got the 10,000 points? Sometimes it will not show up in-game that you got the service star if you earned another award at the same time.
The reason you haven't completed the shotgun assignment is probably because you weren't using the engineer class when you got the kills. Although it doesn't say it in the assignment, you must get 25 shotgun kills as an engineer to complete.

Against a backdrop of a just released poll signaling American's trust in President Obama is plunging and as Tuesday's State of the Union Address looms, on Friday morning the Drudge Report was screaming in an all caps, super-bold, super-sized foreign affairs headline. The message is reinforcing the notion that the Obama administration is stretching the truth: "IRAN: 'WE DID NOT AGREE TO DISMANTLE ANYTHING.'"
Related: (Drudge Report: 'Holder unleashing the [Obama] dogs' D'Zouza tweet spurs liberal backlash)
Only a few insiders know exactly what Obama's State of the Union speech will contain. The Washington Post speculates that the president's number one priority will be to "defend Obamacare." At this time, two major rivals, Obama and Matt Drudge each share the same goal if not the same outcome: engaging Americans.
As a heads-up for Obama and for Drudge, arguably editor of the top news aggregate, on the "grid" priorities according to Quinnipac were explained, thus: "The Jan. 22 national poll found economy/jobs and healthcare are top voter priorities; Obama gets low grades on top priorities."
It's true the presidential poll shows a majority of Americans now find President Obama is dishonest and untrustworthy. It's true that the poll is showing a negative 39 - 47 percent for handling Iran as well.
Bottom line, according to Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute:
"It's the economy, Mr. President,' say dissatisfied American voters who are not yet willing to give President Barack Obama a thumbs up on his presidency. If, and it's a big IF, the president can convince the American people that the economy is getting better and that Obamacare will be good for them, it will go a long way to rebuilding his sagging job approval ratings."
Still as a factor of trustworthiness, Drudge's link leads to a report stressing no matter how many times or ways the Obama administration says a deal has been struck with Iran to dismantle their nuclear program, the truth of the six-month deal has been "mischaracterized." According to the CNN report, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zari, the deal struck Monday between the United States and Iran was that Iran freeze part of its nuclear program in exchange for eased sanctions.
"We did not agree to dismantle anything," Zari insisted, adding, "If you find a single, a single word, that even closely resembles dismantling or could be defined as dismantling in the entire text, then I would take back my comment." A senior Obama administration official has already claimed, "We expected that the Iranians would need to spin this for their domestic political purposes, and are not surprised they are doing just that."
As an opponent of the president's policies, Drudge's Iran headline would appear to be "on the mark." However, Matt Drudge recently tweeted, "My biggest fear as editor of Drudge Report is people are slamming off all news and politics. Disgusted, frustrated and going off the grid." Matched against American priorities, are Drudge headlines "on the grid," or should the headlines be tightened up to better reflect what might really engage disenchanted American voters? Will Obama's SOTU be on target?

On Tuesday night the second episode of this hilarious bachelor type of show ran, and Matt who supposedly is Prince Harry without having said so, but instead letting appearances deceive the 11 single American girls vying for his attention; decided to have a game of cricket. And Rose who last week received the key to the Crown Suite along with a date with the suppose royal prince, got to decide which girls would play and which would serve tea.
"I Wanna Marry Harry", places American girls in a luxurious estate in England, and they meet a guy who is addressed as Sir by the butler, however, looks a lot like Prince Harry, and gives hints as to his true identity without revealing the hoax. Matt will eventually propose to the girl of his dreams and also tell her that he is a commoner, without wealth, much less royal lineage, if she accepts him great, otherwise, he will probably be left heart broken.
Every week a girl will receive the key to the Crown Suite and a date with the Sir, and another girl will be asked to leave the estate. This week Andrea a gorgeous girl who seemed somewhat aloof and not fully vested into getting to know Sir, was sent home, while Kimberly received the coveted key and thus her dreams of marrying Prince Charming kept alive.
This is a show that has to be taken at face value and not analyzed, or expect some fascinating trend that must be followed for future bachelor shows, or dating shows for that matter. "I Wanna Marry Harry" is fun and has those moments of suspense with presumed secret service agents guarding the suppose prince's every move, and even from time to time whisking him away as though an emergency has just taken place, but as well have all the fanfare, elegance, and comforts of what living as a Prince or Princess would be like.
"I Wanna Marry Harry" runs on Tuesday at 9 p.m. EDT on Fox.

77 year old Stan Goldenberg first went to the doctor because he thought he may have a urinary tract infection .
To be on the safe side, doctors checked for prostate cancer with a PSA test.
Doctors found 15 different polyps inside his prostate and biopsies revealed 9 were malignant.
Goldenberg says, "I was scared and upset, but Dr. Dunn reassured me that this was something that was curable."
After doing doing some research and learning his options, Goldenberg took the doctors advice to have radiation treatment using image guided radiation therapy.
They mark the outer boundaries of the prostate gland with little gold chips that give the doctor the definitions of where the actual malignancies are.
Dr. Hasan Murshed says, "What this does number one, focus radiation very tightly over the prostate itself. Number two, because the bladder and rectum surround the prostate and depending on how full they are the prostate can move within the patient.
"But because we are image guided treatment we can take an x-ray of the prostate every day before treatment.
"That means pinpoint precision when sending radiation to the tumors, avoiding the tissue around the prostate.
"The benefit is, the patient has less radiation going to the bladder, and rectum with fewer side effects, but at the same time able to give a very high dose of radiation treatment with very high rate of cure."
Goldenberg states, "I had 45 trips into the radiation room and the trip over took more time than the actual treatment, about a minute and a half to zap these 9 malignancies that were there."
Today Goldenberg is cancer free.
He will have to make a trip to his urologist every 6 months for the rest of his life.
But the good news is he did get to go to the big game.

Now You're Playing With Power: Joystick Light Switch
This is the $30 Power-Up Arcade Light Switch Plate from ThinkGeek. It looks like an arcade joystick, but it's not -- it's a light switch. I know -- it was hard for me to grasp at first too. The two buttons make different 'PEW PEW!' sound effects and the actual joystick controls the lights like a regular switch. Alternatively, turn out the lights the same way I do: not paying the electric bill. Come on, all the

Fujifilm is about to release its first rugged digital camera to feature GPS geo-tagging of images, the FinePix XP30. In addition to being water-, dust-, shock- and freeze-proof, the compact camera can guide you from your current location to a point where you snapped a particularly interesting shot, and use collected data to create a travel map, using your photos as illustrations. The camera can also record high definition video and includes a number of user-assist features to help capture the best shots without too much effort.Read More
The geotagging capabilities of modern cameras means photographers no longer have to go through the boring task of jotting down the location of a picture on the back of photos. Unfortunately, interference when taking pictures indoors or even outside amongst a forest of skyscrapers can render the geotagging feature inoperative. The latest model to join Casio's EXILIM Hi-Zoom lineup, the EX-H20G, overcomes this problem by using a Hybrid GPS system that combines GPS with a three-way accelerometer and direction sensor to track a user's last known satellite-acquired position against map data stored in the camera's memory. It then checks every 10 minutes until it can reconnect to a satellite signal.Read More
Before you proudly go posting photos of your Ming vase online, you should be aware that computer-savvy burglars can likely use that photo to find out where you live. The same goes for photos or videos of your kids, yourself, or anything else that you don't want strangers knowing how to locate. The practice of tracking people via their posted images is an example of "cybercasing", and is possible because many digital cameras and smart phones, including the iPhone, automatically geotag their images by embedding the longitude and latitude at which they were taken. Even when uploaded to a website, the images still retain this information.

To address this need HP is dipping its toes in the geo-tagging waters with Gloe – a concept service that allows users to find, recommend and contribute locally relevant web content on mobile devices.

Another landmark in the unrelenting evolution of the digital camera was reached this week when Samsung announced two 12.2 mega-pixel point-and-shoot digital cameras with 15x optical zooms. The top of the line camera, to be known as the WB650 in Europe and the HZ35W in the U.S., sports a 3.0" AMOLED display, Dual Image Stabilisation (both optical and digital image stabilizers), a GPS (for geo-tagging) and 720p video at 30fps. It's a stunning achievement to fit all this into a compact camera body just 30mm thick and with the PMA Show approaching, one wonders if this camera will still be winning the "mine's bigger than yours" contest a month from now. Expect it in the showroom in March.Read More
Seems one LCD display per camera is not enough for Samsung, which has just unveiled two compact digital cameras that feature dual LCD screens – one on the back and one on the front. The extra displays found on the TL225 and TL220 are designed to make turning the camera on yourself a bit more reliable than the "hold at arm's length and hope" method usually employed when taking self-portraits and profile picture shots. And for those after a digital camera that boasts unprecedented connectivity, Samsung has also unveiled the CL65 with geo-tagging, Bluetooth 2.0, DLNA, and Wi-Fi capabilities.Read More
Samsung might have claimed line honors with the first 12-megapixel camera phone in the form of the Pixon 12, but LG are snapping at their heels with the LG GC990 Louvre, a 12 megapixel camera phone that got its first public showing at the Korea Products Exhibition in Warsaw of all places. Read More
It looks like Nokia has pulled out all the stops in delivering a potentially paradigm shifting N86 cameraphone with a camera that they claim has SLR-like optics and is good enough to replace your current compact digital one. With 8GB of internal storage, and a lens system from Carl Zeiss, this device can capture still images at 8 megapixels, as well as 640x480 video 30 frames per second. The camera has a F2.4 aperture (so it's able to handle low light conditions) and includes a high intensity dual LED flash. Nokia is also using the internal GPS in the device to geo-tag all the photos.Read More

Member of the reality-based community of progressive (not anonymous) Massachusetts blogs
I often marvel at the editorials that puke forth from the Blog Of Record. So often, they are cobbled together from similarly shallow sentiments expressed by denizens of the national right wing punditocracy and flavored with the rants of the "Bumper Sticker Braintrust," plopped and swirling around the Topix(Disqus) bowl. The utter lack of depth offers no civic sustenance, whatsoever. The lack of substance must aid digestion and regurgitation by the parroting hordes.
On occasion, the Editor forgets himself and his business model. Thus, we find The Sun caught spinning a shadow of itself. Maybe, the self loathing forces an aggressive act of projection? For some reason, I think the head shop over on Dutton Street isn't short on self-love. Lack of conscience does that.
Anyways, today I read these words:
But if Warren knowingly embraced the unsupported information to get ahead, she is guilty of a shameful mistake.
In the latter case, we'd have to seriously consider whether she has the character and integrity to represent the people of Massachusetts in Washington, D.C.
Just the other day, Joe S. wrote something that reminded me how loosey goosey The Sun is with numbers. He wrote:
… they then justified their approach based on the number of responses to an associated poll. If they continue to justify their work based on 1100 "contibutors", …
I'll leave as a foregone conclusion that online polls don't mean shit. See Freeping. For many readers of The Sun, not much is a foregone conclusion. And by readers, I mean Lowellians and most specifically - Lowellians that vote.
Before the 2011 city election, I studied these very folks. Those studies led me to quantify city voters in this table:
Now, I won't garauntee the accuracy of the stated values to the "n"-th degree. I will say that between 2009 and 2011, I have spent too much time mulling a database that Mr. Lynne has artfully crafted. This database allows for multiple ways to recheck the data. So, I am as confident in this data, as I am that I am my father's son.
I've reported this data, on this blog, in several diaries, like this one: PAC - Politcal Action Computing
This tells us that of a city of 106,000, only 19,493 have ever voted in a city election. Of them, only 7,500 have voted in 4 or 5 of the last 5 city elections. And they tend not to be young. :v(
(I added Bold for a reason)
If you ran for elected office in Lowell, last year, this should look familiar:
Above is a page from a marketing ploy The Sun offered to the various campaigns. Candidates were provided some estimates of voters they could reach, if they opted to advertise in The Sun. Suffice to say, The Sun's marketing folks played lose and fast with the numbers. Intentionally? Can't say for sure.
But if
WarrenThe Sun knowingly embraced the unsupported information to get ahead, sheThe Sun is guilty of a shameful mistake.
Let's take a closer look at what was offered by The Sun:
Let's do the math: 42, 970 x 78%=33, 517. Take 95% of that, you get 31, 842. Wait a minute. My studies conclude there are only 7, 500 "strong city voters." Okay. That is not what The Sun will target. Yet, I count only 19, 493 Lowellians to have ever cast a ballot in a city election since the turn of the century? How could The Sun reach out to 31, 842 voters? Honest mistake?
Another honest mistake?:
First .. Um.. You can ask any elected office holder in Lowell. The age span of 25-44 is NOT "prime voters" in city elections. Ask Rita Mercier about her
Seniors GenXers. Come on. Here the Sun isn't even trying to pass the straight face test. The powerhouse vote in Lowell is the 50+ vote! Period.
Second. And I'll rest my case here, The Sun claimed it could outreach to 66,000 Lowell voters.
On Nov. 9, 2011, the City of Lowell's Elections Office reported that there was a total of 50,354 Registered Voters.
How did The Sun, by mistake, come up with 66, 000? I have no knowledge, with data going back to the year 1960, of the total Registered Voters in Lowell to EVER exceed 55, 000.
Take or leave what I have offered, as you see fit.
Should The Sun attempt to opine on anyone's "character and integrity," I know I'll take a pass. Thank you very much.
Kudos on the wordsmithing in that opening paragraph
Oh Jack, you and your FACTS and STATISTICS. Those do not sell papers (or ads).
Did they ever run these assertions in the paper itself (even if in an ad)? If so, I wonder how much integrity they could muster to run a retraction. Naaahh, that would be too embarrassing anyway.
When I first saw the editorial on Warren's heritage I was reminded of another editorial in which the local newsletter called it a distraction and not worthy of coverage. Or am I thinking of an actual newspaper editorial?
Second, the newsletter is spinning facts but the basis is probably true. While the number of voters and readers of the newsletter continue to decrease, the number of voters who read the newletter is still quite high. They claim 95%, I don't think that is accurate but certainly it is high which is why a newletter that is struggling to survive continues to be able to play somewhat of a role in local politics. There is no viable alternative.
Maybe Campi was off to Saratoga the week that earlier editorial came out?
The actual voter turnout, as certified and reported to the Sec. of State, provides compelling evidence that the over 50 crowd that has a high propensity to vote in city election is about 5,800 voters.
The ads just aren't worth it.
Now, what The Sun can do, and it sure does, is use the 'cub reporter' to slant the reporting of Council related events to fabricate heroes. (See 'Paper Boy')
Candidates are known to pay tribute to The Sun, via ad purchases, hoping to dull their sharp tongues. Some candidates paid a premium to get glowing reviews. Some, just carry Campi's water, and get tons of sweet ink for their labors.

Denmark has turned down a proposed rebate on its EU budget contribution because it fell short of the one billion kroner (134 million euros, 174 million dollar) demanded by Copenhagen, media reported Wednesday.
"Over the weekend we received an offer from EU President Herman Van Rompuy of a rebate, but it was a few hundred million kroner below the billion we have asked for. That's why we have said no," a source close to the Danish government told daily Politiken.
European Union leaders gather in Brussels Thursday for an extraordinary two-day summit aimed at agreeing the bloc's contested trillion-euro budget for 2014-2020.
But Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt has said she will veto any proposal that doesn't include a Danish rebate.
"The feeling is that it is now inevitable that Denmark will have a discount. But that it just as inevitably will be lower than what Denmark is asking for," a source in the European Commission told the Danish newspaper.
The volume of EU expenditure, at a time of cuts in national budgets against a broad background of debt and recession, is the main issue dividing the 27 EU member states.
Van Rompuy had to call time on a previous bid to settle the issue in November.
Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt told Danish news agency Ritzau Wednesday that the Scandinavian country's rebate had not yet been secured.
"Far from it, and if you think it has, you haven't understood the task that awaits in the coming days," she said.
Britain, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden and Austria have all negotiated rebates because they felt they were contributing too much to the budget compared with other countries.

The simplest way to remove Oracle is to run the Oracle installer:

It is probably best to stop any Oracle services that are running since this will prevent some components from being removed. Also, expect some errors when removing components and be prepared to have to select some components individually to remove them.
The Oracle installer will not remove itself and there are some components that will not uninstall.
In order to completely remove all traces of Oracle the following additional steps will need to be taken:

Please pick a language
Please pick a language
October 25, 2004
A Good Beginning, a recent report from the Child Mental Health Foundation and Agencies Network, emphasizes that social and emotional readiness is critical to successful kindergarten transition, early school success, and even later accomplishments in the workplace. However, according to the report, many children enter school without the social and emotional readiness to succeed.
Research has shown that many children, particularly boys, go into the adolescent years with a restricted language for expressing emotions. This "emotional illiteracy," as psychologist James Garbarino describes it, keeps some boys locked up; they are unable to articulate their experiences and may be ashamed that they can't.
But the beginnings of emotional illiteracy start much earlier, and often affect girls as well as boys. While girls are frequently encouraged to express their emotions more openly than boys, the absence of support from adults can put many children of both sexes at risk for behavioral, emotional, academic and social problems.
By helping your children express their thoughts, feelings, and opinions verbally and in writing, you can give them a better start toward emotional literacy, and a foundation to succeed in school.
In their preschool years, you can help your children express their thoughts and feelings by writing their words for them. In stories, poems, or letters, their language can become a way to support their ability to deal with a peer, with conflict, with sad or scary feelings. The words can help your children sort out their feelings, and come to terms with their own behavior.
As your children grow older, you can help them develop language they can use to deal with their emotions and behavior. One of the best activities is reading stories aloud, particularly stories that offer rich opportunities to discuss emotions. And by helping your children relate the emotions in a story to their lives and experiences, you help nurture their understanding of concepts of emotion, as well as their vocabulary.
By discussing the books you are reading, your children can learn to make predictions and inferences, imagine a setting, identify with characters, use the context to understand new words, ask questions, and become aware of the skills they are using to make sense of text - all the earmarks of active engagement in the reading process. Young children learn what language is through what language does.
By helping your young children express their thoughts and feelings verbally and in writing or drawing, and by reading and discussing stories that offer rich opportunities to discuss emotions, and to understand how others think and feel, you can make sure their emotional development and literacy go hand in hand.
Excerpted from "Learning to Read the Heart: Nurturing Emotional Literacy" by Rebecca Novick - an article in the NAEYC journal, Young Children.

text: marijuana Washington Pot Czar: Cops Should Crush the Black Market By Gabriel Spitzer • Aug 5, 2013 Elaine Thompson / Associated Press Washington's marijuana consultant says police should act fast to squash the black market once state-sanctioned stores open. But in Seattle, that could conflict with the will of the voters. DEA Raids Pot Dispensaries in Puget Sound Area By The Associated Press • Jul 24, 2013 Wilfredo Lee / Associated Press Federal agents have raided a number of medical marijuana dispensaries in the Puget Sound region. Drug Enforcement Administration spokeswoman Jodie Underwood said Wednesday afternoon the operation was under way. She declined to immediately provide details about how many dispensaries were being targeted or how many search warrants were being executed. Seattle police ease pot, tattoo rules for recruits By The Associated Press • May 6, 2013 zeraien / Flickr The Seattle Police Department is loosening its rules on marijuana use and tattoos for new officer recruits. The department used to require that those seeking to join the force not have used pot in the past three years, and not more than 25 times in all. But last fall Washington voters legalized marijuana for personal use by adults, and Mayor Mike McGinn says the department should ease up. 4/20 a special day for pot fans By Bellamy Pailthorp • Apr 19, 2013 JosephAdams Photo / Flickr Fans of recreational marijuana are expected to light up in record numbers Saturday. That's because the date—April 20 or 4/20—is also slang for the time of day when many pot-users like to get high. Pot farmers' poison may be threat to endangered fishers By The Associated Press • Mar 31, 2013 BethanyWeeks / Flickr For the first time, federal biologists are assessing whether illegal marijuana gardens in the back woods of the West could threaten the extinction of a wild animal.The object of their attention is the fisher, a small but fierce forest predator related to the weasel. Teen smoking rate drops below pot usage By Keith Seinfeld & and Associated Press • Mar 14, 2013 Elaine Thompson / Associated Press Washington high school students who participated in a statewide health survey say they are twice as likely to smoke marijuana as cigarettes. Overall, though, the trends show teenagers are drinking, smoking and abusing prescription drugs less than in the past. In fact, 8th and 10th graders are half as likely to drink alcohol compared to those in 1998. Public marijuana: No tickets in Seattle, but maybe elsewhere By Keith Seinfeld • Dec 6, 2012 Keith Seinfeld / kplu Listen Listening... / 1:39 (Updated at 10pm) In Seattle, you're more likely to get a parking ticket than a marijuana smoking ticket. Washington's pot law stops at the edge of campus By Gabriel Spitzer • Dec 4, 2012 dblackadder / Flickr In just a few days, smoking marijuana won't be much different from drinking a glass of wine, as far as state law is concerned. But in what may be the place most associated with pot-smoking – the dorm room – it will still be banned. Will legal marijuana make our roads more dangerous? By Gabriel Spitzer • Oct 8, 2012 Gabriel Spitzer / KPLU If Washington voters approve a ballot measure this fall legalizing marijuana, it would bring big changes – not just in the justice system, but in our communities. In our series "If It's Legal: Five Ways Legal Pot Could Affect Your Life," we consider some ways things could change for all of us, even people who never smoke pot. We begin with a basic question: would legal marijuana lead to more danger on the roads? Fake Pot Is A Real Problem For Regulators This week, President Obama signed a law banning synthetic marijuana and other synthetic drugs. Dozens of states and local governments have already tried to outlaw fake marijuana, which has been blamed for hundreds of emergency room visits and a handful of fatalities. But the bans have proved largely ineffective, and there are fears that the federal law won't be any different. Synthetic marijuana looks a bit like dried grass clippings. It's readily available on the Internet and in convenience stores and smoke shops, where it's sold as herbal incense or potpourri. 10 tons of pot dumped at sea near US-Mexico border By The Associated Press • Jun 19, 2012 SAN DIEGO — The U.S. Navy says an aircraft carrier group recovered nearly 10 tons of marijuana dumped from small boats in the Pacific Ocean near California's border with Mexico. Alleged pot use on Ducks football team draws national attention By Rob Manning • Apr 18, 2012 The University of Oregon's athletics director is responding this morning to a story alleging widespread pot use among Ducks football players. The article in "ESPN The Magazine" rehashes some familiar incidents – including the legal run-ins of former quarterbacks Jeremiah Masoli and Darron Thomas. It highlights safety Cliff Harris' infamously saying "we smoked it all" to a police officer, when asked to hand over marijuana. Pages« first ‹ previous 1 2 3 4 5 6
