Conrad Black: In Prison--But still writing!Historians in the News
Besides his now infamous role at Hollinger International Inc., Black is also the author of biographies on Franklin Roosevelt and Richard Nixon. With prison on his itinerary, the fate of Black's writing was in question.
According to The Canadian Press, the Florida low-security prison, where Black currently resides, does not have access to computers. To continue his writing while in prison, Black will be forced to take up the old fashion style of pen and paper, though it might not be a stretch for him as he reportedly wrote his memoir in such a way.
Black began his term at on March 3, 2008 and has since published four articles in The New York Sun on topics about Iraq, Europe, and France. In an article that appeared on June 9, 2008 in The New York Sun, Black explored the 40th anniversary of a student uprising in France that led to an important Charles de Gaulle address.
"The year 1968 was a tempestuous time of upheavals, invasion (Czechoslovakia), and assassinations (Martin Luther King, Robert Kennedy). The collapse of constitutional government in France would have been a disaster for the West. It is not the mindless posturings of the misplaced youth of the superannuated left that should be celebrated now, but the salvation of France as a functioning democracy and the phoenix-like survival of the figure who was then the West's greatest statesman."
The Sun, founded in 2002 with support from investors like Black, has remained in alliances with its investor and friend, allowing him to write articles on a variety of topics.

Yesterday morning, we were live, ON AIR at Sales Engine Studios!
Okay, maybe not "live", but we were shooting video for a client's content marketing strategy. Video as a content medium is often overlooked or dismissed because some believe it takes time and special video production expertise to be used successfully. This is false. Armed with an off-the-shelf HD video recorder and a subject ready to talk, any company can reinvent their content marketing stagey with a little video twist.
The following are three best practices in video content marketing:
- Video does NOT mean "sales pitch". Rather than selling to your audience, think about how you can educate them through your video content. Use the video camera as a method to extract knowledge from inside the heads of people too busy or not practiced enough to produce heavy content. Executives, sales reps, product managers and customer support all have unique points of view and certain areas of expertise that can be turned into very effective content. All you need is an hour or two to absorb that knowledge and turn it into consumable content. Then, you can think about how to repurpose that video content into written articles, blogs, or whitepapers.
- Repurpose, repurpose, and repurpose. A successful video shoot can be a very time consuming project, so make the most out of the final product. The video you shoot can be repurposed and used to create a large variety of content in multiple formats. It can become a polished, developed video(duh!); the audio can be stripped and turned into a podcast; or transcripts can be created and re-written into an article or a downloadable PDF. From there, the text can be cut up, spliced, abbreviated or conjoined and used virtually anywhere – in an email campaign, on your website, posted to social media or for a banner ad.
- Start with search in mind. Before shooting day arrives, identify your video topics based on keywords that you know your prospects are searching for online. You can prep your subject with questions and specific highlights you would like them to discuss. This not only guides the content in the direction you want, but will also put your subject at easy and allow shooting day to run quickly and smoothly. When you are ready to publish your final content, your landing pages should be optimized with those keywords to increase SEO. Then, syndicate the content to as many sites or social media platforms as possible.
You can view our full photo album from this shooting day on our Facebook Page.

I wanted to gather all of my Internet of Things (IOT) blogs into a single blog (that I could later use with my University of San Francisco (USF) Big Data "MBA" course). However as I started to pull these blogs together, I realized that my IOT discussion lacked a vision; it lacked an end point towards which an organization could drive their IOT envisioning, proof of value, app dev, data engineering and data science efforts. And I think that the IOT end point is really quite simple…

A critical component of any IoT project is what to do with all the data being generated. This data needs to be captured, processed, structured, and stored in a way to facilitate different kinds of queries. Traditional data warehouse and analytical systems are mature technologies that can be used to handle certain kinds of queries, but they are not always well suited to many problems, particularly when there is a need for real-time insights.

The all-knowing internet
I have dabbled in Wicca for years, but haven't had the confidence (or focus) to pursue it consistently alone. A few years back I performed my self-dedication and consecrated my wand, and I have done some spell craft during full moon rituals. Little by little I learn about herbalism and have a passion for foraging. I want to learn more about the craft and get to a point where practices are second nature to me. I'm at a point in my life where the spirituality needs to play more of a role. Blessed Be!
I live in the Albany area and am looking to connect with others in the pagan community.

Mind Gamesby Kimberly Hughes Hanley
What do we really know about reality and its inner workings? Is everything really as it seems? Are the laws of physics accurate? How do we know for sure? What if you were on course to tapping into real truths about the mysteries of life, how far would you go to prove your theories? Well, Dr. Banister, a prominent university professor committed to researching the mysteries of ontology has all too often used his own family as research subjects. Now, he's gone missing and his work is abruptly stopped. Or is it? A team of investigators fail to find the body, and questions arise against Melissa his wife. Many believe foul play at the woman's hands, but the lead detective believes otherwise, and his convictions are strengthened when he thinks he's heard the missing man's voice. The wife confides that she's heard it also, and her children claim to have seen their father in the nearby woods. The lead detective stubbles across material evidence that proves the professor's not quite missing, but revealing it would come at great personal cost. After years of hiding, the detective comes face-to-face with a past that threatens to surface. He must decide: will he protect his secret at the expense of the investigation? The plot thickens as a baffling new clue leads investigators to a pool of blood. An audio trailer is available at the books official website, www.kimberlytopia.com/mindgames.html.

Couldn't put this page turner down. Enjoyed the lively characters and the interesting scientific dialogue. Sounded almost plausible and hauntingly eerie.
Enjoyed this read. What an imagination. That Jonathan Banister sounds like a psycho doc. He deserved what he got. A cruel bastard. It irked me that Melissa was so loyal to him. I was glad that she got a bit of attention from Stanley. But Stanley, he sure had a creepy, secretive past. I don't think he should have hidden it. Carla seemed like a nice lady but a bit dense at times. I also liked the kids, but what a head trip to see your dad from a distance and then to "not" see him. What a loon, experimenting on his own children.
Good writing. I really liked the sexual tension between Melissa Banister and Stanley Johnson. And I liked the rogue sensuality of Billy Taylor.

John Gunther's
Stage Magic prompted the
early pace, gained a clear advantage at the furlong grounds, could not
withstand the late surge of the winner but was easily second best

Four and three-quarter lengths farther back at the wire was Jim Tafel's
Fighter Wing, who had
established early splits of 24.90 and 49.57, but was no match for the
top two in the drive. The pacesetter paid $4 to show.
"I've worked (Ravi's Song) since she won the Pelleteri here (Feb.12) and she's trained great down here," said

Ralph Isenberg Won't Be Talking to the President Tonight After All. Disinvited!
That didn't take long: Less than two hours after posting that item about Ralph Isenberg and his intention to speak with President Obama this evening about the case of Saad Nabeel, Isenberg called Unfair Park to say it's off. According to Isenberg, one day after his Saturday chat with the Texas Civil Rights Review, he got a call from Valerie Chraca at the D.C.-based Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee -- which is charging $10,000 a plate for the eat-and-meet with the president at Russell Budd's Highland Park home -- telling him he'd been "tagged by the White House," and that his invite was being rescinded.
"They took my money, and then, no invite and no explanation," Isenberg tells Unfair Park. Isenberg, who last week made it known he's taken up Nabeel's plight, also sent us his proof of purchase -- the invite and a copy of his American Express credit card receipt. The charge appeared on his card Thursday.
"So, let's see: I make it public I am going to talk to the president with my minute or two -- or 30 seconds, whatever I was going to get -- about this deported kid and how bad he's got it," says Isenberg, a lifelong Democrat who, in the past, has hosted several Democratic functions -- including Hillary Clinton's visit to Oak Cliff in February 2008 and an Eddie Bernice Johnson fund-raiser as his own home.
"Then The New York Times breaks this big national story coincidentally in which the administration says, 'Gee, we're nice about immigration -- we're not deporting kids, see?' Then they find out they've got someone who wants to talk about a kid who'd been deported -- whose story is on the front page of Der Spiegel at this very moment -- and how do we solve it. So what do they do? 'Let's un-invite the guy.' And that's what's happened.The damnedest thing."

I've left several messages on Chraca's voice mail. She has not returned calls. I also called Camellia Meehan at the DSCC. Her name's on the invite -- she's the RSVP contact. The woman who answered her phone says Meehan's not available, and, sorry, but she can't answer my questions.
Update at 1:57 p.m.: Deirdre Murphy, the DSCC's national press secretary, just called to say: "We do not comment on private fund-raising events."
I also spoke twice with Colin Milligan, the DSCC's deputy press secretary, who said both times he'd try to find someone to call me back. In the meantime, Unfair Park's calls to the White House press office were directed to the Democratic National Committee, which said, sorry, but you have to call the DSCC.
Isenberg says Domingo Garcia's the one who initially asked him if he wanted to go tonight. Isenberg says Garcia, who couldn't be reached for comment, put him in touch with Chraca, who took his details -- chiefly, his credit card info and other info needed for security clearance -- then called him back "to say where it'll be, what time to show up." Then, Isenberg says, he received a formal invite via e-mail. "And they processed my credit card for 10 grand," he adds. "I guess someone in D.C.'s watching what everyone's saying."
Word from D.C. is the DSCC is refunding Isenberg's $10 thou.

Greenpeace is hailing the "cancellation" of plans by United States oil giant Anadarko to drill off the New Zealand coast.
But the Texan company says it is still coming, just a year later than it hoped.
Anadarko says it has now secured a rig to drill the Carrack/Caravel prospect off the Canterbury coast, followed by the Romney prospect off Taranaki in the summer of 2013/14. Both are in water more than 1000 metres deep and both are potentially huge oil or gas fields.
Anadarko said just getting the drill ship to New Zealand would cost US$100 million (NZ$123m) and US$1m a day to drill each of possibly three wells.
That could amount to as much as a US$200m commitment to New Zealand.
Anadarko had earlier hoped to drill the wells this coming summer but could not get a suitable rig.
Greenpeace said yesterday that Anadarko's cancellation was "the clearest sign yet that the Government must give up its single-minded fossil fuels agenda, in favour of winning New Zealand a place in the global clean energy race".
Anadarko had a 25 per cent stake in BP's Deepwater Horizon well which exploded in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010.
Greenpeace NZ senior climate campaigner Simon Boxer said: "It's a fact that the exploratory phase is the most dangerous of the entire deep sea drilling process.
"For that reason, it's great news for New Zealanders, our beaches and our economy that Anadarko isn't coming this year."
While deepwater drilling was extremely rare in New Zealand waters, Anadarko said drilling was "routinely" done in 2000 metres elsewhere in the world.
Boxer said it was "rubbish" that Anadarko said that it had not been able to find a rig.
If the company wanted to be here, it would be, he said. The company had contracted numerous rigs for exploration around the world.
But Anadarko's New Zealand corporate affairs manager, Alan Seay, said Anadarko had not been able to get a rig for this summer because of high international demand for rigs, "New Zealand is a long way away" and there was a limited drilling season.
"There is nothing unusual about this in the world of oil exploration. We had hoped to begin a drilling programme this summer . . . but the rig market has been very tight and a suitable rig hasn't been available," he said.
But Anadarko had now secured a rig, which was being built in a Korean shipyard, and would get here by summer 2013/14.
Anadarko and Australian company Origin Energy are 50-50 partners in the Carrack/Caravel prospect within the Canterbury Basin, in water of 1100 metres, far offshore from Dunedin. One, possibly two, wells could be drilled there in 2013/14.
The prospects may hold the equivalent of 750 million barrels of oil or more likely gas, according to initial Origin estimates.
Anadarko is also a 50 per cent partner and operator in another deepwater prospect, called Romney, far off the Taranaki coast, along with United States-based Global Resources, and Hyundai.
One exploration would be drilled at the Romney prospect in about 1500 metres of water.
Past modelling suggests the Romney structure "may be" charged with nearly 1 billion barrels of oil.

I would consider adding to my ACTC position, but also thinking of adding to STEM. I Played CUR too badly (along with some good) and may not try again on that one, but should I sell BTX (I sold half at $.397, ouch!), or AUMN to place a bet on more ACTC, or STEM, or something else? With bio-techs, there is, I suspect, a lot of manipulation, along with scant information! I also suspect a lot of incompetence and deceit! What to do, what to do? I am aware that these are risky and some friends say I have a gambling addiction! Is Patrick Cox hired pumper for BTX and is BTX a good bet? I view ALL my holdings as risky! Have a big stake (for me) in EVSI, for one year, already! I am down slightly on it and trades very low shares, very few trades and really wide spreads, but that may soon change, hopefully, for the better. Thank you.
Correction on BTX. Price I sold at was $3.97. Still an ouch!

SDCC: "Batman: The Killing Joke" Cast & Crew Debuts Film at Comic-Con International
If you've been following the media on Spider-Man:Turn Off the Dark, then no doubt you've already heard "Rise Above," the song written by Bono and the Edge for the multimillion-dollar musical. If not, the producers have you covered, as they've released a video of the song featuring the two U2 members and Reeve Carney, who plays the webslinger on Broadway. The video shows rehearsals as well as a few on-stage clips, but probably not nearly enough Spider-Man. Watch it above and see.
I was hoping we could all Rise Above talking this stupid musical by now, amirite?

Paying for Agricultural Productivity (Hardback)Julian M. Alston, Philip G. Pardey, Vincent H. Smith
Hardback Published: 19/08/1999
- Can be ordered from our supplier
Agricultural research and development has stimulated enormous increases in agricultural productivity in the twentieth century. Now, in response to common pressures, countries the world over are changing how they manage and pay for agricultural R & D. Paying for Agricultural Productivity reviews agricultural R & D policy in Australia, the Netherlands, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States and assesses whether the new approaches are raising or lowering the efficiency and effectiveness of R & D. To complement the case studies, the book analyzes trends in R & D investment in twenty-two developed countries. Paying for Agricultural Productivity will be an invaluable resource for economic and development specialists concerned with agricultural research and development, as well as for farmers, food processors, agricultural wholesalers and retailers, environmentalists, and research scientists.

U.K. shoppers to spend 15 million hours online on Cyber Monday
Cyber Monday may have come and gone in the U.S., but in the U.K. the busiest online shopping day of the year is yet to happen. Experian Hitwise predicts that Cyber Monday in the U.K. will see millions of visits made to U.K. retail websites setting a new record as the busiest day ever in online retail history.
Online retailers in the U.K. are getting ready for what is expected to be the busiest pre-Christmas online shopping day in the country's history. Next Monday, 3 December, is the country's Cyber Monday, Experian Hitwise forecasts 115 million visits to U.K. retail websites, a 36% rise on last year.
In 2011, U.K. shoppers made 84.6 million visits to online retail sites on Cyber Monday, with Amazon and eBay representing 28% of all retail visits on that day.
Shoppers are expected to spend 15 million hours online on Cyber Monday this year, says James Murray, digital insight manager at Experian Marketing Services, that's 15 minutes for each person in the country. The number of hours spent online shopping during the whole of December is forecast to reach 375 million.
"This will be the peak of pre-Christmas shopping in the UK so marketers need to make sure their campaigns are in place to maximise traffic on Cyber Monday: it's not too late to promote special offers through email and social media," said Murray. "Understanding what people are interested in, the best channels to engage customers through and when to reach them will be crucial to success this Christmas."

Rachel and Drew Snow may be sisters, but their lives have followed completely different paths.
Married to a wonderful man and a mother to two strong-minded teens, Rachel hasnt returned to her childhood home since being kicked out by her strict father after an act of careless teenage rebellion. Drew, her younger sister, followed her passion for music but takes side jobs to make ends meet and longs for the stability that has always eluded her. Both sisters recall how close they were, but the distance between them seems more than they can bridge. When their deferential Japanese mother, Hikari, is diagnosed with dementia and gives Rachel power of attorney, Rachels domineering father, Killian becomes enraged.
In a rare moment of lucidity, Hikari asks Rachel for a book in her sewing room, and Rachel enlists her sisters help in the search. The bookwhich tells the tale of real-life female samurai Tomoe Gozen, an epic saga of love, loss, and conflict during twelfth-century Japanreveals truths about Drew and Rachels relationship that resonate across the centuries, connecting them in ways that turn their differences into assets.
How to Be an American Housewife is a novel about mothers and daughters, and the pull of tradition. It tells the story of Shoko, a Japanese woman who married an American GI, and her grown daughter, Sue, a divorced mother whose life as an American housewife hasn't been what she'd expected. When illness prevents Shoko from traveling to Japan, she asks Sue to go in her place. The trip reveals family secrets that change their lives in dramatic and unforeseen ways. Offering an entertaining glimpse into American and Japanese family lives and their potent aspirations, this is a warm and engaging novel full of unexpected insight.
When Shoko decided to marry an American GI and leave Japan, she had her parents' blessing, her brother's scorn, and a gift from her husband-a book on how to be a proper American housewife.
As she crossed the ocean to America, Shoko also brought with her a secret she would need to keep her entire life...
Half a century later, Shoko's plans to finally return to Japan and reconcile with her brother are derailed by illness. In her place, she sends her grown American daughter, Sue, a divorced single mother whose own life isn't what she hoped for. As Sue takes in Japan, with all its beauty and contradictions, she discovers another side to her mother and returns to America unexpectedly changed and irrevocably touched.
For Jane Re, half-Korean, half-American orphan, Flushing, Queens, is the place shes been trying to escape from her whole life. Sardonic yet vulnerable, Jane toils, unappreciated, in her strict uncles grocery store and politely observes the traditional principle of nunchi (a combination of good manners, hierarchy, and obligation). Desperate for a new life, shes thrilled to become the au pair for the Mazer-Farleys, two Brooklyn English professors and their adopted Chinese daughter. Inducted into the world of organic food co-ops, and nineteenthcentury novels, Jane is the recipient of Beth Mazers feminist lectures and Ed Farleys very male attention. But when a family death interrupts Jane and Eds blossoming affair, she flies off to Seoul, leaving New York far behind.
Reconnecting with family, and struggling to learn the ways of modern-day Korea, Jane begins to wonder if Ed Farley is really the man for her. Jane returns to Queens, where she must find a balance between two cultures and accept who she really is. Re Jane is a bright, comic story of falling in love, finding strength, and living not just out of obligation to others, but for ones self.

I miss regular-guy music. While I certainly appreciate arty, and theatrical, and over-the-top, sometimes I just want to rock out to some dudes who look and sound like they work a day job at Home Depot. The Gary, out of Austin, TX, fit this bill. I got hooked on their new single, "(Eyes in the) Taproom" because it reminded me of the Replacements and Uncle Tupelo and the Hold Steady, without exactly sounding like any of them. And if you can identify with songs about sitting on a crappy barstool night after night and wondering if you might just die on it, well then, so much the better. There's a gritty, no-bullshit vibe about this band that is eminently relatable. No guyliner involved. The Gary just released their first full-length album, Logan, on Cedar Fever Records. Find out more at their MySpace page.

OTTAWA, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 07/02/14 -- The Department of Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) was sentenced in the Ontario Court of Justice today to a fine of $300,000.00. PWGSC pled guilty on November 20, 2012 to three charges under section 148 of the Canada Labour Code of violating occupational health and safety requirements. The charges were laid following a boiler explosion that killed one employee and injured three others on October 19, 2010 at the Cliff Central Heating and Cooling Plant in Ottawa. PWGSC was fined $100,000.00 for each of the three counts, the maximum allowed, resulting in a total fine of $300,000.00.
The three counts to which PWGSC pled guilty under the Canada Labour Code are:
PWGSC did not provide necessary training and supervision in relation to the usage or operation of boilers at the Cliff Plant, contrary to section 124 of the Canada Labour Code, thereby committing an offence under s. 148(1) of the Code;
PWGSC failed to ensure that employees working at the Cliff Plant who have supervisory or managerial responsibilities were adequately trained in health and safety and were informed of responsibilities they have under the Code, contrary to section 125(1)(z) of the Canada Labour Code, thereby committing an offence under s. 148(1) of the Code; and
PWGSC failed to develop, implement and monitor, in connection with the policy committee, or the workplace committee or with the health and safety representative, a prescribed program for the prevention of hazards in the workplace appropriate to its size and the nature of the hazards in it, that also provides for the education of employees in health and safety matters, contrary to section 125(1)(z.03) of the Canada Labour Code, thereby committing an offence under s. 148(1) of the Code.
The Public Prosecution Service of Canada is responsible for prosecuting offences under federal jurisdiction in a manner that is free of any improper influence and that respects the public interest. The PPSC is also responsible for providing prosecution-related advice to law enforcement agencies across Canada.

A nifty little package that should allow Jet Li to get a solid hold on American actioners.

It's not Shakespeare a la Kenneth Branagh, but it's not bad either.

Our star-crossed lovers are so emotionally off-channel, it's easy to forget the origin of the film's title...

The director gets carried away with his quick-cutting technique, to the point that it interferes with the viewer's ability to appreciate the fantastic choreography.

Way too much time is spent exposing the boring, conventional plot, with all its predictable twists and double-crossings.

It's funny and violent and occasionally quite entertaining, even if there's not a single convincing moment.

The movie barely manages to keep you awake, much less quicken your pulse.

This hotel is beautiful. The lobby is gorgeously decorated. The service is very good, including the valets. The rooms were impeccable, the bed very comfortable, the shower with a wall jet amazing. The location is great - it is in a retail center with shops, restaurants and movies. The concierge lounge had a great breakfast, and good selection of appetizers in the afternoon and lots of drinks and snacks during the day. You won't be disappointed if you stay here.
