Immigrants Are Targets of Investment Schemes
By SUSAN SACHS
Published: May 15, 2001
When it comes to separating immigrants from their money, few techniques have gone untested.
A century ago, newcomers were cheated by more seasoned compatriots who met the boats from Ellis Island with offers of nonexistent jobs or housing. More recently, they have fallen prey to neighborhood swindlers promising authentic green cards, cheap phone calls and miracle-working medicines.
Now, the keystone is that quintessential American dream machine, the stock market.
Over the last few years, an increasing number of immigrants have arrived with substantial savings to start their new lives. But far fewer have come with experience in financial markets or much proficiency in English.
Add to that a tendency to trust completely an adviser of the same ethnic background and the result, say securities regulators, is a rash of recent complaints against registered stockbrokers from devastated immigrant investors and a sharp increase in financial frauds perpetrated by, and aimed at, immigrants.
That type of swindle has become so prevalent, in fact, that the regulators have given it a name — affinity fraud.
The North American Securities Administrators Association, an organization of state officials, calls affinity fraud the second most common investment fraud in the country. Only the unlicensed sale of securities is more prevalent.
"Fraudsters go where the money and the trust are," said a Securities and Exchange Commission spokesman, John Nestor. "So we see a lot of problems in ethnic neighborhoods where a language barrier separates investors from reliable information.
"Immigrants are a very vulnerable population," he added. "People who lack experience with investments aren't able to distinguish between an investment and a gamble."
One immigrant investor with such a complaint is Jeong Hee Hong. She had no job, a son in college and life savings of about $200,000 when she met a stockbroker at a party last year.
A recent immigrant from South Korea, Ms. Hong spoke almost no English and knew next to nothing about the stock market. But she felt at ease with the broker, who was Korean-American and, in her own language, reassured her of a comfortable future.
"He told me that even when the market goes down, his clients make money because he has the magic touch," Ms. Hong recalled recently, speaking through a translator. "At the time, I needed income to live. I kept telling him to be careful because it's my last life savings."
The broker, who worked at the UBS PaineWebber branch in Flushing, Queens, offered to fill out all the paperwork in English to open an account. Ms. Hong said she accepted gratefully, not realizing that he would then falsely list her as a speculative investor with 10 years of experience in trading equities, bonds and even options.
Barely seven months later, she was almost broke. Most of her nest egg had been lost on volatile technology stocks that she said were bought and sold without her knowledge. And she had paid out $23,000 in commissions, fees and interest on margin loans she said she never authorized.
Ms. Hong, as well as six other novice Korean investors, have filed a claim for compensation and damages with the National Association of Securities Dealers, which arbitrates disputes between investors and brokers. The brokerage firm has not yet formally responded to the complaint.
The investors, who include factory workers who invested their life savings and students who invested their inheritance, accuse the brokers of putting their funds in high-risk investments unsuited to their circumstances and churning the accounts to generate excessive fees and commissions.
Most of their money was invested in technology stocks that later collapsed.
"If these customers went in and were informed about margin, about the kinds of companies these brokers were putting them into, if they had authorized at least some of the stock trades, then you take the loss," said Christine M. Bae, a lawyer for the Korean investors. "But that's not what happened."
The claim names as respondents UBS PaineWebber; the Queens branch manager, Michael Liming Yung; and the brokers Joon Ho Chun, James H. Kwak and Sam Jin.
A spokesman for the brokerage firm, Paul Marrone, declined to discuss the specifics of the claim. "We take our clients' concerns very seriously and are in the process of reviewing the matters alleged in the statement of claim," he said. The three brokers, Mr. Marrone added, voluntarily quit PaineWebber in early April.
Despite their handicaps of language and their basic investing ignorance, immigrants have been actively courted, not only by fellow immigrants peddling investment schemes, but also by established brokerage firms looking for new customers through ads in foreign-language newspapers.
But innocence is bad investment strategy for anyone, securities experts say.
"The immigrant community is also far less experienced and sophisticated than Americans," said Kevin P. Conway, a Manhattan lawyer representing dozens of immigrant investors who have filed complaints against brokers they say duped or misled them.

MUMBAI: A Calicut-bound Air India flight from Dubai was diverted to Mumbai on Sunday after a passenger allegedly 'misbehaved' with a woman passenger on-board.
"The passenger was unruly and misbehaved with a female passenger who was sitting next to him in the aircraft. So the pilot decided to divert the flight to Mumbai in the interest of passengers' safety," an Air India spokesperson told.

|A Unified Framework to Compute over Tree Synchronized Grammars and Primal Grammars
|Tree Grammars ; Proof Systems ; Prolog Implementation
|Tree languages are powerful tools for the representation and schematization
of infinite sets of terms for various purposes (unification theory,
verification and specification ...). In order to extend the regular
language framework, more complex formalisms have been developed. In
paper, we focus on Tree Synchronized Grammars and Primal Grammars
introduce specific control structures to represent non regular sets
of terms. We propose a common unified framework in order to achieve
the membership test for these particular
languages. Thanks to a proof system, we provide a full
operational framework, that allows us to transform tree grammars into
programs (as it already exists for word grammars with DCG) whose goal
is to
recognize terms of the corresponding language.

ECJ's Train of Thought: You Can be Compensated for Acts of God
Express summary: The European Union's Highest Court Rules: "Rail passengers are entitled to a partial refund of the price of their train ticket in the event of significant delay, even where that delay is attributable to force majeure."
The scenic route:
Who doesn't love a long-distance train journey? With a little help from the Man in seat sixty-one, the Thomas Cook timetable* and a wheely suitcase, rail is without a doubt the most civilized way to get across Europe. From afternoon Kaffee und Streuselkuchen in the Deutsche Bahn dining car en route to Basel, via the northern lights on the night train back from the arctic circle, to a cheeky glass of cava on the trenhotel from Paris to Barcelona… You get the picture.
Moreover with wifi on trains, power sockets in most cars and big seats with legroom, it's increasingly attractive for business as well. Given how frustrating airport security checks are, ash clouds and the general disagreeableness of being trapped in an endless duty free mall for hours before you even see the plane, the arguments for taking the train are more compelling than ever. If only there were a clever pan-European ticketing system, but that's another story…
Unfortunately, sometimes trains get delayed. A while ago, your correspondent was delayed for two hours going from Paris to Normandy, because three wild boar had turned themselves into pate under the wheels of the locomotive. The mood in the carriage plummeted, with only limited supplies of camembert, baguette and sparkling Saumur to survive on. Especially because the crazy hogs were a perfect example of force majeure, "acts of God," or, in the flowing prose of the European Court of Justice, "namely, inter alia, circumstances not connected with the operation of the railway which the carrier could not avoid."
It takes a certain kind of traveler to whip out their EU passenger rights when planes are delayed, (although their fellow voyagers usually thank them for it once the sandwiches and water are being handed out). On Thursday the European Court of Justice ruled that train passengers enjoy even better rights than their airborne counterparts: They get money back, while plane passengers don't. From the decision:
"The regulation provides that a passenger facing a delay of an hour or more may request a partial reimbursement of the price paid for the ticket from the railway undertaking. The amount of that compensation is at least 25% of that price in the event of a delay of between 60 and 119 minutes and 50% in the event of a delay of 120 minutes or more. The regulation provides for no exception to that right to compensation where the delay is attributable to force majeure."
So now you know. The Verwaltungsgerichtshof – Austria's administrative court — had asked the Court of Justice whether railways could be exempt from paying under when the delay is caused by force majeure – as is the case for air travel. But the court said no comparison could be made because "the situation of undertakings operating in different transport sectors is not comparable."
Sounds like another reason to take the train!

That showtime has passed. Please try next available showtime.
Finland, 2011, 108 Minute Running Time
Genre/Subjects: Coming of Age, Drama, Romance, Teen
Program: Contemporary World CinemaLanguage: Finnish English Subtitles
DIRECTOR: Oskari Sipola
Producer: Jesse FryckmanEditor: Antti ReikkoScreenwriter: Oskari SipolaCinematographer: Joonas PulkkanenPrincipal Cast: Eppu Pastinen, Lina Turkama, Niina Koponen, Zagros Manuchar
"I feel like everyone's going somewhere," laments Aku (Eppu Pastinen), the youthful protagonist of Finnish writer-director Oskari Sipola's debut feature, August (Elokuu). "I'm being abandoned." Resigned to a summer job working construction in his hometown of Helsinki, Aku awaits word of his university acceptance while his girlfriend Erika temporarily decamps to St. Petersburg.
Chance encounters with the bewitching Juli (Lina Turkama) change the trajectory of earnest Aku's summer, and he quickly finds he is going somewhere—namely on a road trip of self-discovery. Accompanying his new companion through the countryside, he is forced to come to terms, in the midst of Juli's capriciousness, with his own insecurities and the meaning of his privileged upbringing. Bonding over challenges ranging from the theft of their car to Juli's sister's infidelity, the two grow closer, but will it last through fall?
At 26, Sipola already shows prowess as a visual storyteller, powerfully capturing the restlessness, uncertainty, and passion that mark the rocky passage to adulthood—be it through the golden-hued, soft-focus images of Aku's graduation ceremony or the rapid-fire, pulsating scenes in a dance club. —CLAY FONG

28% under occupying
Published by AntonyD for Jade2003 Ltd in Universal Credit and also in Bill Payments, Central Government, Communities, Housing, Local Government
October and early November saw an increase in the number of social housing landlords offering Entitledto's web based bedroom occupancy and benefit calculator packages; and a consequent increase in the number of calculations provides an insight into the overall situation.
In the five weeks from the beginning of October, over 28% of users had 1 or more bedroom under occupied. That's over 28% of households completing the calculator that will lose housing benefit from next year.
Entitledto is working to deliver additional resources that will help residents deal with any loss of income, including help with finding a lodger, and assistance with managing finances. More news of these new resources will be released in the next few weeks.
Landlords signing up to Entitledto calculators in the last few weeks include L&Q, SixTown Housing, Southern Housing Group, Arawak Walton, Arcon and Waterloo.

It took close to 40 people to perform surgery on a single patient Monday. That's because it was 2,500 pound patient named Ebony -- a black rhino at Potter Park Zoo.
"She could've stepped on something weird. She could've laid funny, got on a rock, something stuck in the wrong area," says Potter Park Zoo Head Veterinarian Dr. Tara Harrison.
A team of veterinarians and assistants went to work on the 14-year-old, because an infection in her toenail failed to clear up after weeks of antibiotics. It's the first time an animal that large has been anaesthetized at the zoo.
"When there's an infection you need to open up the infection and basically allow for drainage. So basically we had to go to the source of the infection and we cleared it out thorougly," explains Harrison.
Ebony's procedure, which was completed in just 60 minutes, took place in the green barn located behind the rhino exhibit.
"Usually we try and keep it confined to about an hour's time. That's a good working time. I've had them down for a couple of hours. But every minute past an hour, you're reducing the chances they're going to get back up and be okay again," says Dr. Albert Lewandowski of the Cleveland Zoo.
The rhino's reproductive system was also examined during surgery since she's been unable to become pregnant.
"She actually had a lot of fluid in her uterus so we had to open that up more to allow the fluid to drain out. After all the fluid's drained out, it's possible she may get pregnant later," says Dr. Harrison.
Adds Dr. Lewandowski, "Black rhinos have decreased dramatically in the wild. And so every single calf we can get is important."
It's possibility the zoo is looking forward to. Ebony will be back in her exhibit in a couple of weeks.

In criminal law, foresight betrays a guilty mind as much as intent does: both reveal that the agent is not properly motivated to avoid an illegal state of affairs. This commonality warrants our judgment that the state is brought about intentionally, even when unintended. In contrast to Knobe, I thus retain the idea that acting intentionally is acting with a certain frame of mind.

ALAMEDA -- Alameda musicians Mark Showalter and Pat Potter remember playing together in bands as teenagers.
"I graduated from Alameda High School in 1970, and Mark Showalter graduated in 1972," Potter said. "We played together in high school, then again in 1979."
They are still playing music together today as part of the band "House of Floyd," a tribute band to Pink Floyd. The group performed Aug. 30 at Yoshi's Jazz Club in Oakland.
Showalter began "House of Floyd" in 2005.
"Our very first gig was actually at the Marketplace on Park Street," he said. "We agreed to provide music in the parking lot."
Potter said: "Wow, what humble beginnings. In 2008, we played Crab Cove as part of the free summer music concert series. Then our luck changed, and in 2008 and 2009, we headlined at the Ojai Classic Rock Festival. That concert series really stepped us up in terms of the types of venues we began to book."
The band has its roots in Alameda. Three band members are from Alameda: Showalter, who plays saxophone, keyboards and lead vocals; Potter on lead guitar, slide guitar and vocals; and Louis Portela, on bass guitar and vocals.
Other members include: Greg Studley on lead guitar, keyboards and vocals; Stewart Burr on drums; Sherri Showalter, backup vocals and lead vocals; and Mellissa Harley on backup vocals and percussion. Showalter, who is the leader of the band, also toured with Gregg Allman and Friends.
"It's a great story how he joined the band. When the Allman Brothers Band wasn't touring, Gregg Allman went into the Park Street Saloon and heard the Alameda All Stars band performing. He liked what he heard and hired those guys for his band. Then Mark auditioned on saxophone and joined the band for three years of touring," Potter said.
In September 2012, "House of Floyd" toured India. They performed in nine cities including New Delhi, Lucknow, and Bangalore.
"It was a place of incredible extremes," Potter said. "Extreme weather, extreme poverty and extreme wealth. Also, extreme warmth and friendliness from the people toward us. The audiences were fantastic. They knew every word to all the songs. We were only the fifth tribute band to visit the country. They just love classic rock. It was an experience I will never forget.
"Now we are playing some California Indian casinos like Feather Falls, Cache Creek and Jackson Rancheria at the end of September. They welcome us, too, and really treat us great," Potter said.
"House of Floyd's" first set at Yoshi's on Aug. 30 was from the "Dark Side of the Moon." They opened with the tune, "Breathe" with Potter on slide guitar and lead vocals. The song seamlessly moved into "Time," which was augmented by video clips of factories, time clocks and human workers as puppets manipulated by a mechanized society. "The Great Gig in the Sky" featured the stunning three-octave vocal range of Sherri Showalter, who is a classically trained singer. There are no recognizable words, just her searing vocals pleading and crying while video shots of the earth dissolve into images of fiery destruction brought about by natural disasters, nuclear bombs and continual warfare. This song brought the audience to tears. It was followed by Pink Floyd's classic "Money," a song even more relevant today.

Over the weekend, a bunch of ads for Oklahoma Fidelity Bank appeared on NewsOK.com. Since they are the bank that currently owns my mortgage, I decided to take a look at what they were selling. This is what I saw:
My first question is when is the spaceship going to destroy downtown. My second question is if Jeff Goldblum is working on a computer virus to stop the spaceship. My third question is if the person who had the broken down car at the 4-second mark is okay.
That commercial is a little too intense….and dark…and depressing. I couldn't tell if I was watching a bank commercial or a trailer for a shitty new J.J. Abrams film. I bet if they zoomed in a little closer you could probably see Steve Lackmeyer standing atop the Devon Tower wearing a red cape and blue tights. And yeah, I know that's the second Steve Lackmeyer reference that's appeared on this site this morning, but the guy really does like Downtown…and Midtown…and Bricktown. And he likes them all more than Wayne Coyne likes vaginas and bubbles.
Anyway, to make this commercial and campaign even dumber, check out the ad copy that accompanies the video on the Oklahoma Fidelity website:
Just like everyone, I was a bit mesmerized when I first saw video of the effervescent Sweet Brown describing a fire at her apartment complex. Not only was the video hysterical, but Sweet Brown had a unique charm and innocence that made you want to watch the video 200 times and email it to all your friends…twice. Plus, her damn name was Sweet Brown. And she liked cold pop!
Since the video has gone viral, though, that charm and innocence has quickly faded. It's seems like Sweet Brown has been exploited and over-exposed.
First, people like the dork who originally posted the video began hunting her down and giving her cold pop for their own self promotion. One person even got her to ask us if we wanted one. Then she appeared on News 4 with Linda Cavanaugh, KJRH in Tulsa and the front cover of the Gazette. It's hard to stay fresh and cool when the Gazette writes about you. Trust us.
And now this has happened:
Remember those two guys pictured above? They are the slackers who appeared in those incessant Sonic commercials during the mid to late aughts. The duo would go to Sonic, bicker about tater tots or slushies or roller skates or whatever, and…well…that was about it.
At first, their straight man and the funny guy routine was kind of humorous. But after a few years, the bit got old and Sonic replaced the guys with a sarcastic married couple and a soccer mom and her teenage son. Then that stuff quickly got old and Sonic dropped the campaign all together.
Well, have we got some exciting news for you! Those wild and wacky Sonic guys have returned. And guess what??! They want their old jobs back!!! How cute!!!
From an advertorial written by Don Mecoy in today's Oklahoman:
Regular Jim Traber is kind of fragile. During the holiday season, he was admitted to the ICU because of a clogged artery. This came about three and half years after he spent a few weeks in the hospital due to an exploded colon. He also suffers from a variety of other ailments and conditions like gout, tomfoolery and narcissistic personality disorder.
If Regular Jim were a normal person, you'd think his health problems would lead to some sort of awakening. That maybe he'd eat better, exercise more and quit smoking illegal Cuban cigars. But Regular Jim Traber is not a normal person. He's invincible! He's the ultimate! And he's the new spokesperson for Mazzio's Pizza.
Here's the commercial:
2011 was apparently a pretty good year for Oklahoma City. In fact, it was so great that The Greater Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce released an awkward two-minute long TV commercial to remind us about it:
I don't know about you, but I would bet some serious money that the everyone involved in the production of that commercial lives in Edmond. The only thing whiter than that thing is the lower level of a Thunder game. They even made the black kids look stale and boring and white.

Pretty soon, you won't be able to "go downtown and buy a Mercury or two," even if you do still have your job intact. Last week it was reported that the economy had gained 431,000 jobs in the month of May — a decidedly shocking number any way you look at it — and the unemployment rate had dropped to 9.7 percent. Of course, naysayers are quick to point out that 411,000 of those jobs are census workers who will necessarily be let go in coming months. From my perspective, it's a good thing we are in a census year to help soften the blow of the nearly eight million jobs lost due to the current downturn, although no one believes these jobs are a long-term fix. Instead, think of them as a cushion to a very challenged job market. If you've recently lost your job and are looking for almost any kind of work, the census program can seem a godsend. From a macro perspective, these temporary jobs help the economy stabilize, essentially buying time for the true economic recovery to come through. This is how I view ramped-up government spending as well. The massive government spending that is occurring today not only helps those directly in receipt of funds, but also helps a myriad of business and individuals through the ripple effect of cash flowing through the system. These effects, of course, are only temporary, but they buy time for a true recovery in private spending and investment to occur. Unfortunately, in both cases, neither represents a structural change that should give hope for continued recovery. Only the private sector can drive growth in this or any other economy. This is why I've paid less attention to government spending (short-term effects) and more to government policy which can affect the economy in a long-term fashion. Given stock market action, it seems the markets agree with this viewpoint. On Friday, when the employment data were released, the S&P 500 dropped nearly 38 points or 3.4 percent and the 2-year Treasury rate fell 10 basis points. Key Developments Construction spending rose by 2.7 percent versus expections for no growth during the month of April. Extra spending by both federal and state governments drove the surprise increase. On a yearly basis, the declines are decreasing at a declining rate which is encouraging. Worker productivity in the first quarter was revised down to +2.8 percent from +3.4 percent. There was a modest gain in hours worked even though productivity was on the rise. This is evidence employers are squeezing productivity out of their existing workforce before hiring new workers. Nonfarm payrolls rose 431,000 in May which would typically be viewed as a home run month; however, it was also reported that 411,000 of those new jobs were census workers expected to retain their positions for only a few months. Nonetheless, this was the fifth consecutive monthly gain in payrolls. The unemployment rate edged down to 9.7 percent from 9.8 percent in April.

Roger Patterson made 5 transparencies from the original copy of the film in the late nineteen sixties. He took them to a photo shop in Yakima County Washington and had the film crew there take from the original copy of that film, 35 mm transparencies photographs. Those transparencies are large approximately 12 in by 7in. They still exist and Patricia Patterson owns them. About 12 years ago MK Davis had her agree to take these transparencies and scan at a very low resolution. Scanning them at a very high resolution would have taken 3 or 4 hours.
In 2009 David Paulides asked Patricia Patterson to spend a day with him and take very high resolution transparencies. She agreed and The North America Bigfoot Search is the only group that has them. Harvey Pratt was able to do the hairless composite sketch from those transparencies.
We as a human race are lucky to have Roger Patterson's Film along with David Paulides' amazing detective work and the DNA EVIDENCE he has provided, not to speak of Harvey Pratt's artistic abilities! To give you the answer to your questions does this really exist, and is it more human then ape? If the Bigfoot community worked together instead of having a pissing contests with each other we would be so much farther than we are.

New OOXML Scandal - A Leaked Email Surfaces in France - Updated: New Details
from Norway
,----[ Quote ]
| Le Monde Informatique and LeMagIT are reporting on a leaked email from Marc
| Meyer of the French government agency, DGME, which urges that OOXML be
| quickly added to the official list of formats that can be used by government
| entities, a document titled RGI, and then the finalized v1.0 of RGI be
| quickly published, in effect locking in OOXML, before the appeals process is
| completed. The email and the media reports indicate that the RGI was put on a
| back burner last October, when ODF was already on the list, and now,
| immediately after OOXML is approved, albeit controversially, by ISO but
| before the appeals process is complete, not to mention the format, Meyer
| urges it quickly be added to the list of acceptable formats, hence making it
| hard to remove OOXML from the list later, as a fait accompli.
| Worse, the email indicates that work on the document was brought to a crawl
| to wait for ISO approval of OOXML. ODF was already on the list when work on
| RGI was brought to a standstill last October. There were suspicions that the
| slowdown was deliberate, and the email is giving legs to those suspicions.
| It seems that politics has reared its ugly head, and just as happened in
| Masschusetts, questions are now being asked about behind-the-scenes Microsoft
| pressure.
Sarkozy intervenes in France to revert the OOXML position
,----[ Quote ]
| Confidential sources say that President Sarkozy has intervened himself in the
| French position on Microsoft OOXML, asking members of the committee to revert
| their position, and support an abstention. Our sources say he was approached
| by a lobbyist during his 3-days trip in England. The intervention has been
| made on Friday. Â* Â*
The France Shift From No to Abstain -- HP helped Microsoft France do it
,----[ Quote
| Here's the scoop from Les Echos.fr on France's sudden change from its No vote
| to Abstain. Microsoft France's President Eric Boustouller sent AFNOR a Â*
| letter [PDF] in French, of course. He tells a tale about OOXML and ODF
| progressing side by side and how if OOXML is approved, a group will be
| working hard to make the two more interoperable. Attached was a an HP
| statement of support for OOXML. HP sings the same song. And AFNOR? Â* Â*
| [...]
| Could it be any more cynical? So, now we know that HP is not supportive of
| Linux and FOSS as we thought. Knock me over with a feather. So, they got them
| to change on the basis of promises for the future. I'm sure there's more to
| the story, of course. Â*
Can AFNOR really change the OOXML vote to "abstain"?
,----[ Quote ]
| Having participated within the responsible technical committee of the Swiss
| Association for Standardization and considering the decision-making process
| that has been used to be unsatisfactory, I find it interesting to look at how
| things have been handled in other countries, in order to see what can be
| learned from that. I plan to focus my attention in this regard on countries
| where the primary language is German, English or French, so that I will be
| able to understand any relevant documents which might become available to the
| public or personally to me. Â* Â* Â*
Microsoft's ISO win may worsen its antitrust woes
,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft may have won a year-long quest to make its OOXML (Office Open XML)
| document format an ISO-recognized international standard, but claims of foul
| play in the voting process may come back to haunt the software giant when the
| European Commission concludes its latest antitrust investigation of
| Microsoft's business practices. Â* Â*
France: "Non, avec des commentaires!"
,----[ Quote ]
| Apparently, the French discussion on OOXML broke into something resembling a
| bar-fight.
| [...]
| Matters soon got out of hand: the shouting seems to have climaxed with the
| Microsoft representative insulting the management of AFNOR, members of the
| Defense Ministry, the Justice Ministry, the Interior Ministry, and two
| members from the Industrial Ministry exclaiming that they were servants of a
| banana republic!

Currently, the geometry data is serialized as wkt :

But transform() will fail, because the instantiated Geometry won't have any projection associated (wkt does not carry srid).
GEOSException at ...
Calling transform() with no SRID set is not supported
There are several possible solutions :
- Use EWKT instead of WKT
- Add srid=self.map_srid parameter to fromstr() when instantiating GEOSGeometry()
- Concatenate 'SRID=%s' % self.map_srid to the received data (this is currently being done like this in JS in openlayers widget code https://github.com/django/django/blob/1.6b2/django/contrib/gis/static/gis/js/OLMapWidget.js#L263-L273)

comment:2 Changed 3 years ago by leplatrem
Hum, unless I don't get it, it's wrong.
In your proposition, you assign the database field srid to the data coming for the widget, whereas you should be using the widget's srid !
Something like this :
if not data.srid:
data.srid = self.widget.map_srid
If you want to see another approach, for example, in django-leaflet, I did that to fix that problem:
Which is a consequence of the lack of modularity mentionned in #20998: because in this particular case, what is transmitted between the field and and the widgets is EWKT !

Fix if widget srid != field srid
comment:4 Changed 3 years ago by leplatrem
Since SRID is ignored while parsing GeoJSON ("crs" attribute), this bug prevents from using other serialization format than e/wkt.
Indeed, data coming from widget is read without assigning srid during deserialization. If the serialized format cannot carry it, the resulting geometry has no srid. Which fails at first transform() operation...
Changed 3 years ago by claudep
comment:5 Changed 3 years ago by claudep
Here's a slightly different patch. I didn't like that we had to reconstruct a Geometry object at two different places in the same file. And I prefer to test the srid after having created the object, because you never know if the client has provided a value containing a parsable srid through a clever thing. Criticism welcome!

We all talked a fair amount about how good his March and April was, and he was really great, but watching the end of 2009 stuff have been a revelation. If that footage had been more widely available I think people would have been talking him up as top 10 guy for the year. His hair matches with Rigo v. The Arliquins and vs. Gringo Loco were amazing stuff, and he had some awesome trios performances too. I think he has to be discussed with Freelance and the Traumas as one of the top younger wrestlers in all of Mexico

This is so breathtaking… but can we talk about this please?
It know it seems too early to be talking about this, but what does Blade Ranger (or Windlifter) looks like he's doing?
A few things came to my mind, my guess is that he's regretting something bad he has done; or this scene represents fear, like he's thinking about a friend/family member that died. Or maybe this just shows that it was the lightning strike that caused the fire?
Remember, these are just headcanons/guesses. So don't come correcting me when the movie comes out.

"The Gatekeepers" Shines Light on Moral Costs of West Bank Occupation

PORTSMOUTH — What happens when a group of ghost hunters investigate a possible haunting inside a New England theater? Far more than they bargained for in Interference, a late-night scare fest by local writers Jacquelyn Benson and Heather Bourbeau. Since the play's successful premiere five years ago, Bourbeau and Benson have extensively revised the script. "We wanted to make it leaner, funnier – and fit in more of the scary stuff," Benson says.
The story follows the experience of a group of four paranormal investigators looking into an alleged haunting at The Players' Ring Theater – a setting that puts the audience in the heart of the action, blurring the lines of disbelief as the show's haunting takes place around them.
Both playwrights based the story's paranormal thrills on their research into actual hauntings and ghost hunts – and some of their own spooky experiences. "We wanted to make it as authentic as we could," says Bourbeau. The pair even included a clipping of a real EVP into one of the sound files used for the show. It was recorded by Benson during her work with a Massachusetts-based ghost hunting group. "I've tried to think of every rational explanation for that voice that I can. There was just nothing else in that room that could have been responsible," she says.
Of course, Interference is more than just a spooky story. Some its characters share a troubled past, which quickly comes to the surface – and there's also plenty of laughs. "Humor and fear are a great mix," Bourbeau says. "When it comes down to it, horror is really meant to be fun." The cast includes both established Players' Ring favorites and new faces: Danica Carlson, Mark Tuomanen, Kyle Miller and Cassandra Heinrich.
Interference represents The Players' Ring's first shot at a late-night Halloween event. The show will follow several performances of Wait Until Dark – making for a great thriller double-feature. For those who aren't night owls, there are two earlier performances, including one directly following the Portsmouth Halloween Parade on Oct. 31. That performance will also feature a post-show talk with Roxie Zwicker of New England Curiosities Walking Tours, who will share some stories about the true haunted history of The Players' Ring. Advance reservations are recommended.
Interference will show at The Players' Ring Theater, 105 Marcy St., on Oct. 19, 20, 26 and 27 at 11 p.m., Oct. 25 at 7:30 p.m., Oct. 28 at 10 p.m. A special post-parade Halloween performance will take place on Oct. 31 at 8:30 p.m. Tickets $12 general admission, $10 students, seniors, and members. To book tickets, call 603-436-8123 or visit PlayersRing.org.

4/5 stars
Published 12/17/2012 by Jannah (Newport Beach, CA)
This product is a very professional and unique promotional item to give to clients. We've already gotten compliments on how great of an idea it is! I wish the post-its were a little bigger and that the cover had a little more of a realistic leather feel but all in all we were happy with the finished product.

Snyder Named Head Cross Country/Track and Field Coach
By Mandy Corbin
Marketing Coordinator
MOUNT VERNON— The Brewton-Parker College Athletic Department is proud to announce the addition of a new member to its coaching staff. Caleb Snyder, former head cross country/track and field coach at Montreat College, joined BPC in February 2012 to lead the BPC Cross Country/Track and Field Program.
Brewton-Parker's Athletic Director, Sheila Simmons, is delighted with Snyder's appointment. "We are very fortunate to have Coach Snyder as a part of the BPC athletic staff. Caleb is one of the bright young stars in his profession. Caleb is well respected among his peers and does a tremendous job running his programs. He is a man with solid Christian values, which fit well with the mission of our institution. We are excited about his strong spiritual leadership, as well as his talent for building strong athletic programs."
Snyder, originally from Zaire, Africa, moved to Winnebago, Illinois in 1996 at the age of seven. He graduated from Winnebago High School in 2005; while there he participated in football, basketball, and track and field. Although talented in all three areas, his real passion was track and field. According to Snyder, "I really enjoyed the team aspects of football and basketball, but the individual part of running is something that can't be compared to any other sport. Ultimately failure and success in the sport is determined by your work ethic, and not the people around you."
After his successful high school career, Snyder continued his education at Ashford University in Clinton, Iowa, where he earned a degree in sports and recreation management in 2010. "I participated in track and field while in college. I was blessed to have had four different head coaches while competing at the college level. I can honestly say that my coaching philosophy and techniques wouldn't be the same without that, because of all the different perspectives that I learned. All of the coaches had their strengths and weaknesses, and I am able to look back and combine what I liked and try to avoid what I consider to be their weaknesses," says Snyder.
Coach Snyder comes to Brewton-Parker from Montreat College in Montreat, North Carolina where he was hired as the head cross country/track and field coach after serving as the assistant cross country/track and field coach after only five months.
"As the head cross country/track and field coach for men and women, I hope to build a program that is consistently ranked near the top of the conference and is also competitive nationally. Most importantly, I hope to build a Christ-centered program that is honoring to God and teach students how to be leaders on campus, in the community, and in the world that they live in after graduation," says Snyder.
Brewton-Parker College is the only accredited four-year Christian college in south of Macon and north of Jacksonville, FL.
The mission of Brewton-Parker College, a Georgia Baptist college, is to develop the whole student through the application of Biblically-centered truth to a liberal arts curriculum in a community of shared Christian values.

The Birth Of The Chimera Company–Not Really Public, Not Truly Private
Among the many good panels at the recent DLD conference, one of the standout sessions was the one hosted by Henry Blodget, editor in chief of Business Insider. What was interesting on this panel was the presence of Barry Silbert, CEO of SecondMarket, and what his company does to the future of the public company. SecondMarket is the marketplace for the buying and selling of private-company stock.
That the IPO market was pretty well closed off for the last few years is well known. Mr. Silbert made the point that the IPO market has been dying for at least the last 10 years. "Ten years ago you could be a company that was worth $150 million and get an IPO done and be welcome to the public market," Mr. Silbert said. "Today, it's $500 million, it's $1 billion. The only ones getting out are these very, very large companies."
What is interesting about SecondMarket is the way it shifts power back into the hands of the company. "The company gets to decide who the buyers are, the company gets to decide who the sellers are. The company gets to decide when the market is open, so it's not a 24×7 like the casino public market we have," he told the audience at the Munich-based conference which closed yesterday.
The ultimate caveat emptor market
"For a lot of companies it's a once a year, or twice a year auction. Companies also get to decide what information they disclose to investors."
It is the ultimate caveat emptor market. Not that the risk seems to be hurting. Launched five years ago, the company did $400m in trades in 40 companies last year, Mr. Silbert said. Infinitesimal when compared to the NYSE, but growing fast. In 2009 they did only $100m in five companies.
So why is this significant? With no exit via IPO for start ups, start ups are left with either organic growth, a liquidity round, or the dream for many, an acquisition.
What markets like SecondMarket does is to give another, and pretty attractive, option. Attractive for the company—they control the process; attractive to the employees of hot start ups who can get some liquidity pre-IPO; and attractive for the kind of investors who can afford to join SecondMarket and want to invest in these companies.
This sort of approach, trading in privately-held stock is not unique to SecondMarket. Russian VC firm DST acquired its holding in Facebook through purchasing stock from Facebook employees. They limited the purchase to $1m per employee—not enough for them to quit their day job, but enough for them to change their life significantly.
What must keep Mr. Silbert up at night is the paradox of success. As the recent Goldman Sachs and Facebook failed offer shows, drawing too much attention to yourself is likely to bring with it the heavy hand of the regulator. SecondMarket is a registered broker-dealer, fully regulated by the SEC and FINRA, but get too big, and the regulators may just start to poke around.
So what sort of chimera company is this? It isn't a public company, not in the traditional sense, but is it still a private one? It is sort of public-ish. Is this new at all? Is it not just a throw back to the very first companies? Does the absence of the regulator, who after all is there to protect the investor, mean this is a step backwards? Or is it, instead, the freeing up of the market place?
Once again we have seen the internet act as a very effective disruptor. We just have to work out what to do with the pieces we are left with.
The video of the session runs for about 25 minutes.

Search and Rescue Efforts
Scott Baxter, who had previously worked as a volunteer firefighter and was experienced in search and rescue efforts, immediately contacted the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to offer his assistance. He was deployed to the site of the World Trade Center, or Ground Zero, where he began working the night of Wednesday, September 12.
"I was right in the heart of the matter as part of the bucket brigade—a line of workers sifting through debris by hand and loading it into buckets, which were passed up the line and dumped elsewhere," Baxter explains. "It was obviously a very traumatic event. There was an enormous amount of death and destruction."
A firefighter stands in the rubble at Ground Zero.
Shaun Parry also searched the rubble at Ground Zero. He gets emotional as he tries to describe the devastation. But at the same time, he says, "I've never felt that kind of camaraderie. There was an amazing energy of love and brotherhood. On the rare occasion when someone yelled, 'We found one!' everyone cheered. During the time I was there, we found nine people."
While Parry had no training in search and rescue, the Broadway performer utilized his dance talents in a way he could never have imagined. "In one area, there was a bunch of rebar sticking out of the concrete in such a way that you couldn't really get through it. But because I was much more limber than the firefighters, I was able to slip through, where I found this huge cavern underneath the surface."
Earning the nickname "Spider-Man," Parry searched the caverns deep below the surface with a fiber optic scope. At one point, as he was calling out for anyone who might be trapped, he heard three distinct taps. But as Parry searched for the person or people who made the sound, everyone was forced to evacuate because a nearby building had started to collapse. An hour and a half later, when rescue workers were allowed to return to the scene, he rushed back to the area he had been searching. "We never found them," he says, his voice breaking. "We knew there were people down there, but we weren't able to get to them in time. That's the hardest part for me."

The Lady of Shalott, a poem by Alfred Lord Tennyson, is about a lady of the days of Camelot. The story is of the lady, who so left her tower and discovered the price, inspired this purse.
She knows not what the curse may be,
And so she weaveth steadily,
And little other care hath she,
The Lady of Shalott.
The 3 tiers of undulating waves of lacy powder blue ruffles.. like the water the lady passed through on her boat....
The bent heart criss-cross design clasp closure and chain handle, with an antique finish, entangles the heart of the Lady of Shalott.. for when she glances for the first time at Lancelot, without using the mirror, she dies.. The bent heart, bent and broken forever.

State officials said they plan to use a boost in state appropriations to increase the number of literacy coaches they hire and expand training for teachers, as schools gear up to meet legislative mandates that all third graders read at a basic level by next year or be flunked.
Lawmakers gave the Mississippi Department of Education $15 million to spend on the program, up from $8 million this year. Officials with the department said they intend to use the money to hire 45 literacy coaches and supervisors, up from 31 this year. They said they'll also expand a training program run by Dallas-based Cambium learning to 6,500 K-3 teachers from 3,500 this year.
Using last year's test data, about 5,000 of Mississippi's 37,000 third graders would have failed.
