I believe: 1. the failure to come to grips with communicating conspirators (which in many ways ties into the distinction between "discretionary" and "mandatory" access controls that I consider meaningless) and 2. the lack of appreciation for the fact that access delegation is vital to developing secure and reliable computer systems. [Aside: Blocking delegation (or trying to have it all micro managed by system administrators or managers) makes systems less secure rather than more secure. The most secure and reliable systems are those that can delegate exactly the access that is needed through a simple modular means (objects). Nearly all the delegations that take place are done in "good faith" by programs acting as intended. What's important in developing secure and reliable computer systems is to allow the software acting in good faith to minimize the authority given to any piece of software so that when some piece of software fails to act in good faith (maliciously or unintentionally) that it does as little damage as possible to security and integrity.] and 3. generally the belief that people and programs can't and shouldn't be trusted to delegate access that they are (and presumably need to be) given. are at the root of the rejection of the capability paradigm by people like those who developed the TCSEC. What puzzles me some is that they seem to be willing to accept as a consequence the granting of ambient authority (the authority of a person) to programs acting on their behalf as a consequence. They speak in high sounding terms of "subjects" and include processes as subjects and suggest that access control can be managed on a per process basis, but: a. There are no commercial systems today (correct me if I'm wrong in this) that have mechanisms that are used to routinely manage access on a per process basis. The only means available is the pseudo user mechanism that is so awkward and impractical that in practice it's never really used (except perhaps in efforts like plash and Polaris to introduce "capability" delegation into commercial systems). Imagining that system administrators or managers would control access on a per process basis is absurd. and b. If delegation is to be done on a per process basis then of course any such delegation must be "discretionary". These are the issues that I believe we in the capability community need to come to grips with, clarify, and communicate to the IT community/industry if we are ever to get any traction with the capability paradigm. Beyond the above I believe we have some internal issues to deal with. I think the most important (but also likely the least tractable) is coming to some sort of agreement on just what symantics an object "capability" needs to have. I believe the internal arguments about this feature or that feature of implementations fragment the capability community and weaken the message. However, perhaps a more hopeful area of improvement in the capability message would be to standardize, simplify and make more efficient the revocation and membrane mechanisms. To take an extreme position for comparison, if every communicated capability acted as a membrane and was revocable (and audited), I think the concerns of a community like that represented by TCSEC would be blunted. In what I consider a "traditional" "descriptor" capability implementation (e.g. Dennis and Van Horn's "Supervisor", RATS, I think KeyKOS, EROS, etc. - I quote traditional and descriptor to distinguish them from those terms used in the P-1935 paper which seem odd to me) I believe it would be fairly easy to support revocation (even through membranes) and auditing for all capability communication. If we could make this be the standard/norm for capability systems I believe the security community (e.g. US defense agencies, etc.) would be much more interested in the capability paradigm as a tool to improve the security/integrity of computer systems. --Jed http://www.webstart.com/jed/

Number of Teleworkers Expected to Increase
2011, A forecast from TechCast at George Washington University said that: 'While a recent survey found that less than 4 % of U.S. private sector workers actually work from home, that figure could reach as high as 30 % by 2019′.
Gartner: 'this drive to mobility will become a $1 trillion market in the next four years.' And that 'within this decade, most, if not all workers will be mobile to some degree.'
40 percent of the workforce, representing 33 million Americans, has jobs that can be performed remotely either part time or full time.
TelCoa's 2008 recommendation to members was also that at least: 40% of an organization's workforce (whose jobs can be performed from home) should be full-time Work@Home™ employees.
11 Responses to "Number of Teleworkers Expected to Increase"
I would absolutely accept that deal!
Its like you read my mind! You seem to know a lot about this, like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you can do with a few pics to drive the message home a bit, but other than that, this is fantastic blog. A great read. I will certainly be back.
Regarding the 4% of private sector workers that work from home, is that full time or part time?
So I quite simply point out you actually establish a few excellent points and I will submit a variety of thoughts to add to soon
Do you have the original article from Gartner with that saying by chance?
I agree with your Number of Teleworkers Expected to Increase | The Telework Coalition, great post.
I do not know whether it's just me or if perhaps everybody else encountering issues with your website.
It appears as though some of the written text in your content are running off the screen. Can somebody else please comment and let me know if
this is happening to them too? This may be a problem with my internet browser because I've had this happen before.
Many thanks

A southwest Missouri man will be sentenced Oct. 1 for the shooting death of his landlord.
A McDonald county jury on Friday recommended that 61-year-old Danny K. Thomas of Stella serve 13 years in prison for killing 58-year-old Darrell Bone of Rocky Comfort in July 2011.
Jurors found Thomas guilty on Thursday of second-degree murder and armed criminal action.
The Joplin Globe reports (http://bit.ly/N6FkOb ) prosecutors said Bone was shot when he told Thomas he sold the property that Thomas was leasing near Stella and Thomas would have to move.
Defense attorneys argued that Thomas thought Bone was going to his truck to get a weapon and the shooting was in self-defense.
But investigators found no evidence that Bone had a weapon at the home.

Dropzone: Automating Mac Goodness
Somethings in life are simple. "Wash. Rinse. Repeat". You do them over and over again, until you don't have to pay attention.
And that can be a problem, because when you use technology to do things over and over again, you can stop looking for better ways to do those very same sets of repetitive computing tasks.
When you stop trying to improve your experience in using your computer for whatever task, you've just conceded that time may be being wasted.
Which is why I got so excited to find an app for Mac called DropZone. It excels in letting you improve the processes you already use so that time is focused on more productive tasks.
No, it isn't a productivity tool as much as it is a shortcut to save you time.
Here's the piece that matters most: the core things that Dropzone does makes it very easy to accomplish repetitive tasks.
What things can you do? Move files, copy files, install applications, upload files to FTP site, upload files to Amazon S3 site, save text, share text, upload to TwitPic, upload to ImageShack, upload to Flickr, and, finally, you can zip files and email them.
How do you do this? This is the part that makes it easy. After configuring the action and the destination of the action, you are given the choice to set some of the actions as a "Circle" which is an icon that represents where you drag your files for a given action.
So, for instance, if you need to repeatedly drop files in a given folder, you set your action to copy the file, set the destination, and then add the new action as a dropzone. Drag your file from any folder to the circle for your action, and the action is carried out.
Today I set up a repetitive action, one that I do many times in a week, and had it configured in less than 6o seconds.
It's that easy to use.

A local hospital is suing the Oklahoma County Sheriff.
OU Medical Center officials say Sheriff John Whetsel is releasing sick inmates before they are admitted into a hospital to avoid paying for their treatment.
The hospital claims it is owed nearly $1 million and that the Whetsel is trying to side-step a state law that requires counties to pay medical costs of inmates.

- - Commentary: UFC Offers Injury Insurance / UFC fighters say low pay simply brutal... (http://www.mmaforum.com/ufc/102504-commentary-ufc-offers-injury-insurance-ufc-fighters-say-low-pay-simply-brutal.html)
Commentary: UFC Offers Injury Insurance / UFC fighters say low pay simply brutal...
So all these injuries occurring got me thinking about what's going on behind the scenes. For the most part it's pretty straight forward. Got a broken hand, can't fight, bad back can't wrestle, injured eye...no vision...so you're out for a while, etc...etc. All valid reasons. But it hasn't stopped fighters from fighting injured in the past. So I dug up this article on health insurance.
Article is dated earlier this year, but I think it's a very fascinating read especially the excerpts from "fighter X."
"Their business (UFC) practices are hardcore and cut-throat. We're paid like entertainers when we should be paid like athletes. They want us hungry. They want us to be poor so they have more control over us.
Just like in boxing, 10 to 15 years from now, just like you see a lot of old, broke boxers, you're going to see a lot of old broke MMA fighters."
My conclusion without writing an essay is that fighters are simply taking advantage of the injury insurance (rightfully so) and protecting their interests. Why fight and potentially lose everything. I am pro Zuffa as a business owner myself, but I feel the plight of the fighters for sure!
Unlike most jobs, MMA puts the health of the worker in intently harmful situations. Most jobs will compensate for this by giving hazard/danger pay, or other health benefits.
Even if the UFC paid every fighter 10 million dollars per fight, some fighters would still make poor financial decisions and end up broke. Some people are just stupid and will never learn from other people's mistakes. That's life.
There are stupid kids, right now, forcing themselves to get accustomed to smoking cigarettes. There are stupid people, RIGHT NOW, trying crack or heroin for the first time.
The higher end of the roster will never be broke, the stars of the UFC can moan about pay all they want but they have a cheek. I've seen the primetime specials of there big mansions, and there fancy car's and big lifestyles. Yeah sure the tail end arnt paid that well, but that's like that in every sport. Fire men, police officers, paramedics they all risk there life's in there jobs aswell but there not millionaires.
Its like this if the UFC only had a few events a year and paid out big for those then half of the fighters would be fighting in low venues never to be heard from or given the chance to be seen. Yes it would be nice if they could all be rich but the sport isnt in a position to make everyone rich just for participating. Taking care of health insurance is a big plus now and taking advantage of it is absolutely their choice. But remember out of sight out of mind and that could effect their next contract.
This is an article from last year comparing Boxing payouts and MMA (UFC).
If in 10-15 years we see a bunch of broke old MMA fighters it will be for the same reason we see a bunch of broke old NFL players, or NBA players, etc. People who make bad decisions with their money. If you get into MMA with the idea of making 10M a fight, you are in the wrong business. MMA is still in it's childhood and while there are millionaires being made, most won't make it to that level, and they shouldn't. The base pay will go up, but fighting two to three times a year on an undercard, going 1-2 or 2-1 in boring decision fights should not make you wealthy.
The long and short of it, you sign the contract and know what you are getting into. Plus we know from countless sources that the UFC pays a lot more money than their contract stipulates. So I don't feel bad for anyone over money woes.
Can't remember the source, was either mma show or mma hour. In an interview talking about fighter pay, the individual talked about how a boxer starting their big-time pro career can get paid as little as $500 IF they win, but (for the most part) an up and coming UFC fighter making their debut is almost guaranteed $6,000 just to fight.
If you look at the distribution of money in a UFC card compared to a boxing card, the UFC is a lot less top-heavy than the boxers. Not everyone can make Mayweather money.
The term "Boxing Money" is over-used, Boxing Money isn't the same as "Pacqiuao/Mayweather Money"
Looking at that card that was posted, Anderson likely made millions for that Vitor fight, it did a great buyrate and was a big deal in Brazil, Anderson will also make millions for the Chael fight as will Chael. If I had to imagine, Vitor got a couple million and Okami might have got a million for his fight with Anderson too.
Forrest probably got a nice check, as did Rich, Jones and Bader probably brought home the bacon too.

A squat isn't always a squat -- there are many ways that you can perform squats to target different muscle groups and accomplish various goals. Olympic squats and partial squats may both be squats but are completely different exercises. Olympic squats are used as an ancillary exercises by Olympic weightlifters, while partial squats are a common powerlifting accessory for boosting back squat and deadlift strength.
Olympic Squats
Olympic squats are usually performed by weightlifters as a way of strengthening the clean-and-jerk exercise that they perform in competition. Your stance should be fairly narrow with your feet pointed straight ahead. Descend as deep as possible while keeping your torso upright. Olympic squats should be performed quickly and explosively, according to powerlifter and corrective exercise specialist Mike Robertson. The clean-and-jerk is a rapid movement, so your squat speed should reflect this.
Partial Squats
You can perform partial squats in several ways, but the most common method is the Anderson half squat, notes Tony Gentilcore, strength coach at Cressey Performance in Massachusetts. Set the pins in a squat rack to the midpoint of your squat position, place the bar across them and squat from there. This forces you to generate more force and not bounce as you can do with a full squat. The aim of partial squats is to target the weakest point of the lift, adds Nick Nilsson, author of "Specialization Training."
Besides the fact that Olympic lifters should stick mainly with Olympic squats while powerlifters are better suited to partial squats, each exercise also offers other specific benefits. Olympic squats are much more quadriceps-dominant due to their full range of motion and are the best choice if you want to build your quads. They're also a good tool for assessing knee, hip and ankle mobility. Partial squats, on the other hand, target your posterior chain more. This is the group of muscles comprising your glutes, hamstrings and lower back and teach you to generate power from a dead stop.
If you're training for general strength and performance increases, include both exercises in your program. Run a four-week cycle using Olympic squats as your main exercise. Perform three to five sets of three to five repetitions, aiming to add weight or extra reps every workout. Once the four weeks is up, switch to partial squats for four weeks using the same set, rep and progression scheme. Take a week off, then go back to Olympic squats but using heavier weights than your first cycle.

The song opens with a six-second audio sample from Jan. 28, 1986, of now-retired NASA public affairs officer Steve Nesbitt saying, "Flight controllers here looking very carefully at the situation. Obviously a major malfunction."
Under fire from friends and family of the astronauts for supposedly making light of the disaster, the pop star, 32, tells ABC News that the sample is actually meant to be a tribute to the dead.
"My heart goes out to the families of those lost in the Challenger disaster," she says in a statement. "The song 'XO' was recorded with the sincerest intention to help heal those who have lost loved ones and to remind us that unexpected things happen, so love and appreciate every minute that you have with those who mean the most to you."
She adds, "The songwriters included the audio in tribute to the unselfish work of the Challenger crew with hope that they will never be forgotten."
Among those who feel the sample is insensitive is June Scobee Rodgers, the widow of Challenger commander Dick Scobee.
"We were disappointed to learn that an audio clip from the day we lost our heroic Challenger crew was used in the song 'XO,' " she said in a statement to Central Florida News 13. "The moment included in this song is an emotionally difficult one for the Challenger families, colleagues and friends. We have always chosen to focus not on how our loved ones were lost, but rather on how they lived and how their legacy lives on today."
NASA also released a statement saying no one should make light of the disaster, but without mentioning Beyoncé by name.
"The Challenger accident is an important part of our history; a tragic reminder that space exploration is risky and should never be trivialized," the statement read. "NASA works every day to honor the legacy of our fallen astronauts as we carry out our mission to reach for new heights and explore the universe."
The Space Shuttle Challenger exploded 73 seconds after takeoff from Cape Canaveral, instantly killing all seven crew members on board, including 37-year-old teacher Christa McAuliffe.

Meet: Julie Anne Townsend
Who I Am
When I was 4 years old, I told my mom I was going to "go up in a
rocket" some day. Everyone forgot all about that until just before
I started highschool. That summer, I took a class about planets and orbits
and how to design model rockets. I loved it! From then on, I always wanted
to be an Astronautical Engineer.
I was in college, I spent one summer at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center.
That was the summer that the Mars Pathfinder lander and Sojourner rover
landed on Mars. Watching the Pathfinder mission, I thought that working
on Mars rovers at JPL must be just about the coolest job ever. (Now that
it's my job, I'm pretty sure that's true!)
I have a bachelor's degree in Aeronautics and Astronautics from MIT and
a Master's degree in the same subject from Stanford University.
What I Do
am an Avionics Systems Engineer, and I work on the Mars Exploration Rovers.
Avionics are the electronics and software that control everything on a
spacecraft, from the maneuvering rockets that steer it to Mars to the
robotic arm that it will use on the Mars surface to investigate rocks.
I work on fault protection, figuring out how the spacecraft can react
automatically to problems and keep itself safe.
After the Mars Exploration Rovers have finished their mission, I plan
to go back to Stanford University to study for a Ph.D in robotics. Then
I'd like to work on developing better and smarter robots, perhaps for
future exploration of Mars or other planets. I hope that someday I will
have a chance to travel in space myself.

My parents live in Birmingham, Michigan (a suburb of Detroit), which
is where my brother and sister and I grew up. I went to Quarton Elementary
School, Covington Middle School, and Seaholm High School.
I now live in Pasadena, California with my goldfish, Orion, who is named
after my favorite constellation. Sometimes I love doing quiet things,
like playing the piano or reading. My favorite books are fantasy novels
with lots of exploration and adventure and classic romances. I especially
like the novels of Jane Austen and Charles Dickens. Other times, I love
doing active things, like volleyball or karate. I've been practicing karate
for about a year, and I have a white belt with a 5th kyu ranking. I hope
to earn my brown belt soon. I also love camping and hiking and running
and anything that gives me an excuse to be outside.

For several hours Tuesday morning, raw sewage gushed from the ruptured pipe into Valley Creek at a rate of about 5,000 gallons a minute.
Then, when officials turned off the flow to the 30-inch sewer main, it caused sewage to back up at the closest pumping station, near Wilson Road in Chesterbrook, fouling even more of a prime trout stream in Valley Forge National Historical Park.
Overall, untreated waste flowed into Valley Creek for more than 30 hours, spilling several million gallons of sewage, officials estimated. A break occurred in roughly the same area six weeks ago, and in a different section of the same line two years ago.

I thrive in Primal gluttony
I really enjoyed the article "17 Reasons You're Not Losing Weight" but I would have named it something different: "1 + 16 Reasons You're Not . . . . "
The #1 reason people don't lose weight and fat is that they eat too many calories. Period. The other 16 reasons are important but not as.
As our host says in item #8 in his article: "Youre eating too much. Low-carb isnt magic. It reins in wild hunger and tames insulin, but calories do still matter."
Awesome. Well said. It can't be said often or loudly enough!
My wife and I went out to eat tonight with another couple at Golden Corral. I had fish, a little lettuce with oil and fresh broccoli. That was my low carb meal.
My buddy Paul had: (1) steak . . . (3) palm-sized hunks of bacon-wrapped pork . . . (several) crab stuffed sole servings . . . broccoli, salad, tomato . . . (several) big globs of sour cream . . . cheese . . . etc.
That was HIS low carb meal.
Now Paul is a big guy . . . but so am I. We weigh about the same, exercise about the same and are the same age. The difference is that I've been low carbing a long time and he's in his second week after his usual On Again/Off Again approach.
Low carb eating has become a license for GLUTTONY in America just like low fat eating did a few years ago. People who use food for other reasons besides nourishment once regularly stuffed themselves with carbs to avoid fat. Now they stuff themselves with fat in the mistaken belief that since it's "low carb" they'll still lose weight.
Different drug but still jonesin . . .
As I told my good friend and will reinforce tomorrow at the gym . . . "look dumb ass, if you think low carb = ALL YOU CAN EAT . . . try this simple experiment."
(Any of you readers who don't believe calories matter can try it too.)
Figure out your BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate). You can pay money and get tested or just apply the Harris Benedict Equation which has stood the test of time since 1919. Alternatively, if you know your Lean Body Mass, just multiply that by 16 and that will be your daily caloric requirement.
Now, once you figure out your BMR and add an "activity factor" please consume 3-4 times that number of calories per day using strictly low carb/no carb foods.
So if BMR + activity says you need 2500 cal/day . . . eat 10,000 cal of low/no carb . . . steak, fish, chicken, butter, sour cream, etc. Just that good low carb stuff.
Weigh yourself after one month and see what happens.
I've written about this before here and on other forums and will continue banging the drum as loudly as I can . . . YOU MUST CONTROL CALORIES! Low Carb doesn't mean ALL YOU CAN EAT.
Having said that . . . like most low carbers, I don't count calories. I don't because eating low carb AUTOMATICALLY regulates my appetite and I can simply look at what I consume and tell that I'm far below my daily caloric requirement.
But not needing to doesn't mean "don't have to." I counted calories while learning to eat this way and as low carb worked its magic, my insulin regulated, my appetite disappeared and today I literally have to remind myself to eat.
Unfortunately, not everyone sticks to low carb eating as a LIFESTYLE. They go on and off about as regularly as they get their hair cut. Their body never switches to fat burning mode and so they're stuck in perpetual insulin chaos.
As most of us know, when you come off low carb, the weight will come back unless you control your gluttony. And the only way to do that is to go low carb again. Only, now, you're a hungry low carber so you pig out on low carb foods. And so it goes.
There's only one way to kick a drug habit (that I know of) and that is to NEVER TOUCH IT AGAIN.
If carbs are your drug of choice (as they are for me) one potato chip or one slice of toast can derail you as quickly as one drink does an alcoholic or one toke the druggie.
Primal, low carb, whatever you want to call it, is a LIFESTYLE choice that we junkies cling to for our health and 99% of us love how we feel on it.
But if you're considering it . . . don't mistake it as a license to feed your Jones.
I thrive in Primal gluttony
Every saint has a past and every sinner has a future. -Oscar Wilde
"The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who have not got it." -George Bernard Shaw
"The trouble with jogging is that the ice falls out of your glass." -Martin Mull
I'll co-sign on this. I've had numerous clients that used to believe low carb means everything is a go as long as you stay away from carbs.
I so heartily agree! I've eaten low carb for years, but controlling calories is how I lose weight. I get so annoyed when people post on a low carb board that they're "stalled" and not losing, and the response usually is, "You're not eating enough"--and I see a menu that's about 2000 calories for a small woman!
It wasn't this way when Atkins first published, but somehow the idea that low carb means tons of cream cheese, cream, butter, etc., etc. has infiltrated the low carb world, and it's sad.
I'm not one to dispute what you're saying here-I've only been primal since December-but I just wanted to clear one thing up.
Gluttony, over-eating due to an eating disorder, and sugar/carb addictions are three different things. For a lot of people eating fewer calories is MUCH easier said than done, especially when first starting out with this lifestyle.
As you mentioned, addictions that people have to sugar/carbs are like drug addictions. Many people would benefit from talking to a therapist and/or finding another complementary therapy.
But others just need to be gentle with themselves and have patience. This lifestyle requires a MAJOR transformation. For many it takes a whole lot of will-power to avoid those carbs in the beginning. And we have to use that will power to ignore all that we've been taught about nutrition in the past as well as all the media depicting things like crispy on the outside and soft on the inside sugar-coated, chocolate-dipped cookies. So when they/we find something that is primal and tastes amazing, there is little will left to hold back on calories.
I think Mark mentioned somewhere that over time he realized he didn't need as many calories as he once thought he did. I think the key is to know that eventually one wants to decrease calorie intake but the learning process on how to do so takes time.
For me personally I've benefited almost immediately using FitDay to keep me on track. I had no idea how calorie-dense almond butter was, for example.
And I also wanted to mention what Mark did about calorie intake requirements being complex. Our bodies are dynamic and some days we need more than others.
Anyway, I think it's a good point you make about calories needing to be watched. But I'd say that success for many of us requires a gentle approach rather than more guilt.
By and large, I concur.
I think confusion often arises from the old calories-in, calories-out equation. Newbies hear low-carbers say, "It isn't as simple as CICO" and interpret it to mean "Calories don't matter!"
Well. It ISN'T as simple as taking X calories worth of food and subtracting Y calories from the treadmill read-out to get calorie deficit Z. Different foods and different forms of exercise cause hormonal events that dramatically impact the CICO equation.
Because of the hormonal impact of PB, some people may indeed be able to consume more calories than they did on CW, and still lose bodyfat...but that does NOT equate to a free license to stuff down as much low-carb food as possible. There is still a limit, even if that limit is different than it was on CW.
For some people, the limit will be lower than it is for others. Personally, I find that I can eat the same number of calories, or slightly more, on PB while getting leaner than I have ever been.
I'm a small woman with a six-pack and about 18% BF -- and I eat about 2,200 calories most days. If I bumped that up to 2,600 low-carb calories, would I gain fat? Sure! Because CICO matters, but it's not the simple equation CW would like us to belive.

blah blah .. it's all about calories .. broken record ...
It's almost physically impossible to eat 10,000 calories of fatty meat, so your 'experiment' is a load of BS.
However if you can manage half of that if is still possible to lose body fat.
So basically you are wrong. Calculated BMR is rubbish and there are a lot more factors to fat loss than calories.
Even Mark won't say it's all about calories.
We've been over this ad-nauseum, so learn to use the search function and go read some studies. There are plenty of people here who have lost more fat by increasing calories and lowering carbs.
If you want to starve yourself to lose fat then go ahead, but it's not the only way.
The "Seven Deadly Sins"
Grains (wheat/rice/oats etc) . . . . . Dairy (milk/yogurt/butter/cheese etc) . . . . . Nightshades (peppers/tomato/eggplant etc)
Tubers (potato/arrowroot etc) . . . Modernly palatable (cashews/olives etc) . . . Refined foods (salt/sugars etc )
Legumes (soy/beans/peas etc)
jwint, the problem with what your buddy eats and what you recommend for your experiment is that dairy is included. You don't take into account the problems many people have with lactose and casein that can cause weight loss stalls or even weight gain.
Like BarbeyGirl said, hormonal responses are just as important. And I agree with Tarlach. It's impossible to eat 10,000 Primal/Paleo calories in a day, especially if you eliminate dairy.
You lousy kids! Get off my savannah!
"Now Paul is a big guy . . . but so am I. We weigh about the same, exercise about the same and are the same age. The difference is that I've been low carbing a long time and he's in his second week after his usual On Again/Off Again approach"
Hmm, you have been LC for a long time, and Paul has been LC 2 weeks, BUT you are the same weight, same age and same exercises -
Seems to me Like Paul will probably be more successful. It doesn't seem like he is stressing over what he is eating and is enjoying himself. As time goes on he will probably eat less and achieve greater success.
Relax my friend, enjoy life and take it one day at a time.
TARLACH . . . OK wise guy . . . I read your "experiment" . . . not exactly Middle School laboratory conditions and controls was it?
Your own conclusions: "Calories (or amounts of dietary fat, if one does not like that evil word Roll Eyes ) do count on ZC. However, they only count in the sense of how quickly one would like to lose weight. Of course, if one has a lot to lose, their calorie requirements are already so high, they will have no problem losing quickly anyway. It's the last bits of body fat that one has to be diligent about in order to lose quickly.
BTW, I'm down another 0.1 kg body fat. That makes 1.6 kg body fat loss so far this week (since Wednesday). I'm really looking forward to dropping these cals down to 3000 on Wednesday. I'm certain I will lose even faster. The reason Kimkins works so well, is for the same reason. The more calories one drops, the quicker they lose. Of course, I would never want to drop my fat ratio down as low as they do. That is so bad on the body. When it comes to good health, animal fat is where it's at."
Yes TARLACH . . . "calories do count on ZC" and "the more calories one drops the more they will lose."
Calculated BMR is NOT "rubbish" it's actually very accurate assuming that you know your true weight and not over/under estimate. So for example, ladies best use weight before their period and not during it if they're prone to huge water bloating. The problem with BMR formula comes in when people add the "ACTIVITY FACTOR."
I can SEARCH and READ quite well. I don't know any competent low carb guru who doesn't believe calorie control is important . . . Eades, Atkins . . . no one.
Yes, 10,000 is a lot and was meant as an exaggeration to illustrate ABSURDITY . . . I will type slower next time.

Whether you're looking for 'traditional' red poppies or something a little more unusual, we've got a wide range of poppy seeds. Choose from single, double, picotee, frilly, pom pom flowers and more to create eye-catching displays in summer borders.
Poppy 'Checkers'
Papaver orientale, Oriental PoppyMore info
Poppy 'Coral Reef'
Papaver orientale, Oriental Poppy
A chance discovery on T&M research grounds has led to the introduction of this spectacular NEW true orientale poppy. Large vibrant flowers, often 5in. across of an intense and vivid coral pink never seen before in true orientale poppies from seed and rarely matched in the entire flower kingdom. Unlike many orientale poppies available, because it has been bred from seed it has consistent vigour, with many flowers over a long flowering period. Also it is not prone to 'flopping over' a fault with many varieties of this type of poppy. It is a long lived perennial making large plants within 3 years. From a late Autumn sowing it will flower in its first summer, coming true from seed. In a mixed orientale poppy trial the bees had apparently been very active as a red flowered hybrid produced several plants of this vivid pink. T&M's breeders got busy and... Coral Reef was born!More info
Poppy (Great Scarlet)
Papaver bracteatum, Great Scarlet Poppy, Papaver orientale var. bracteatumVery imposing, sturdy plants with long, strong stems and large flower buds which break open to reveal huge 20cm (8in) flowers of startling red with black blotches. Plants require no support and ideally should be grown in groups at the back of the border. They look excellent when planted next to Red Hot Poker T&M Hybrids, T&M's Michaelmas Daisy Mixed and Rudbeckias. Flowers early summer. Height 122-152cm (4-5ft). More info

Squirrels Taunt Hawks, and Pay the Price
For the past few months, I've seen red-tailed hawks almost every day on my walks with Esau in Riverside Park or on the upper boulevard that runs parallel to Riverside Drive. The bare branches make them easy to spot, and they seem always hungry and on the look-out for prey.
They often choose to perch in spots where they can keep an eye on promising activity both inside the park and along the Drive.
Sometimes they open their great wings and soar right over your head on their way to a better look-out.
On the coldest, bitterest days of winter, the park appears almost empty of wildlife. The squirrels are hidden in their leafy nests, curled into their bushy tails for warmth. The songbirds, too, are out of sight, huddled in the warmest spots they can find.
A long walk on a cold day revealed only a couple of sparrows near the Forever Wild bird feeder, puffed up like miniature Michelin men.
Later that day, on the upper path, a juvenile hawk tried unsuccessfully to snatch a pigeon from a small flock that pecked for seeds on the snowy sidewalk.
It must be hard to be a hawk in winter.
But then, just a couple of days ago, the weather suddenly turned bizarrely mild, and the slumbering squirrels erupted into demented, spring-like bouts of foraging and carousing.
It was probably the presence of so many mad crazy squirrels that elevated yesterday to a three-hawk day.
This is how it was.
At the 108th Street staircase, a hawk kept a baleful eye on rioting squirrels, looking a bit like a beleaguered security guard at a rock concert trying not to get riled by a gang of rowdy teens.
One squirrel ran up and down the tree trunk right in front of the hawk.
Once or twice, the twitchy little mammal made its way right out toward the branch where the hawk sat, and even stretched its body toward the bird. The squirrel would then quiver with excitement for several seconds, as if it had taken a dare, and was trying to get up the courage to actually touch the big bird.
A second squirrel then joined the first, and the two of them played chase just a few feet from the hawk.
What is it with squirrels? Why provoke an animal capable of catching and devouring you?
I've seen this behavior quite often in the park, and am baffled by it. Oh, I understand that squirrels in a tree are probably quite safe, as the hawk must swoop down with force, talons first, to catch and kill. But being safe doesn't explain the behavior. What evolutionary benefit can there possibly be for squirrels to get so unnecessarily close to a powerful predator?
Take a look at what we saw just two blocks away, when we resumed our walk.
Yup, that's a second red-tail with a partly-eaten squirrel. The hawk is uneasy about being watched from above by yet another red-tail.
Just a few weeks ago, I posted a story with several close-up shots of a juvenile red-tail lunching on squirrel inside the park.
So what in the world is up with the squirrels? Why do they tempt fate? Why get close to a predator? How can this behavior possibly serve the squirrel? Why doesn't instinct keep them away? Is there such high evolutionary value to curiosity or boldness in squirrels that the trait overcomes a natural fear of being eaten?
Dear Reader, if you know the answer or have a good theory, please leave a comment.

I had just come across the exact same thing in my yard in Northern Queens. We feed all the songbirds all winter long which is a joy but that brings the Hawks to my yard to dine. Most every time our Hawks will choose pigeon. At first the hawk was jumpy and would fly away if we even passed inside the house near a window but soon became relaxed with us at the windows. They have favorite branches and come to eat daily. But the squirrels have been doing just what the ones you described. I was shocked watching this squirrel taunt the hawk in the tree. Sitting almost right next to hawk a staring contest going on between them. The hawk was not happy bristling twitching his feathers. The squirrel then slowly scampered off up the tree to hight branches. I can only think of the famous line …do you feel lucky punk?
So unless years of evolution had them know somehow they were safe in the tree…. I don't know but it's going on around NYC boroughs. Maybe just nyc squirrels are that bad a$$ or that…crazy!
February 7, 2015 at 10:26 am
My guess , probably young squirrels who won't be around long enough to pass this idiotic behavior on to any offspring. Thanks for the info, much appreciated. I can always tell when a hawk is nearby, my bird feeders are empty, no sign of birds. The squirrels on the other hand seem unfazed.
March 30, 2015 at 9:38 pm
Same thing here the happy loud chattering the flurry of so many birds in my yard going from feeder to feeder for a bit of this a bit of that. All the birds get along very well. This year even the Blue Jays were not doing their usual bully act. If have the Jays the wood peckers the red wings and so many others all getting along and sharing. But then out of the blue you can hear a pine needle drop! Sure enough our big guy is on his branch and he will sit there as long as it takes for a poor pigeon to come late to the party all happy he has the food to himself and then ….
February 2, 2015 at 3:10 pm
Been observing a couple Red-tails in our park. We have bird feeders attached to our place between a couple windows. Earlier this season we noticed an exponential increase in the squirrel population and wondered how long it would be before one or more dared the new metal roof to gain access. Well, it was about 2 months. We'd see them in the very nearby tree, contemplating for what seemed like hours. Finally, it happened.
Anyway, 2 days ago we notice a huge Red-tail in a tree farther out in the yard. It swoops fairly close to our place and lands across the street. Since then, squirrels are nowhere to be seen except very early morning. Yesterday, a pair of the Redtails were in the park. No squirrels. AND the other birds that used to frequent the feeder before the advance of squirrel evolution….came in swarms! So interesting to watch…
Thoroughly enjoy this blog and hope to see more of your writing!!
February 3, 2015 at 2:48 pm
Oh my… This post somehow became quite disjointed. So sorry…
February 1, 2015 at 10:06 am
I spent a number of years studying squirrels and concluded that they are altruistic – they bury nuts for the community (therefore it doesn't matter if they remember where a nut is, another squirrel will find it by sense of smell), give warning calls when there is an intruder and perhaps in this case are trying to distract the bird from nesting areas (they do raise babies in the winter) or from others in the community. Did you notice if they made any noises while apparently playing with the hawk?
Altruistic behaviour traditionally was considered only human, by the way, just as other species were thought not to lie. But I noticed that Blue Jays will give an alarm signal (intruder nearby) and frighten the squirrels in order to get first to the nuts on a table. We are a very self-centred and short-sighted species and so tend to be blind to other species' fascinating characteristics, especially if it goes against some very old-fashioned ingrained ideas.
I'm glad you brought this topic up and are trying to see it in a new light.

squirrels have high adrenaline shocks and stuff this give them adrenaline shock and make them do what they do not want to or it gives them courage to do so an this also what makes them run fast when chased.
November 18, 2013 at 2:35 pm
Visiting today after googling hawk and squirrel as I watch the same scene you described right outside my kitchen window. I can't tell *what* the hawk is eating (thank goodness), but that silly squirrel keeps running close, RIGHT NEXT to this hawk, quivering the whole while. I hope the hawk isn't eating the squirrel's family member. (Do squirrels express grief or protectiveness of their dead?)
January 4, 2013 at 10:06 am
[…] Birds and squirrels can often be quite bold with a perched hawk. I've seen squirrels seem to taunt a perched hawk, and the sight of crows or jays mobbing a hawk is fairly common. In rural areas, Red-tailed hawks […]

Is play so devalued by human adults that we can't imagine an evolutionary reason for it?
December 10, 2011 at 8:05 pm
Wow! What a beautiful behavior capture! I have been racking my brain trying to explain why they would do that. I've got nothing. Unexplained, irrational behavior, maybe?
November 30, 2011 at 12:14 pm
my hypothesis is that the squirrel is trying to get his predators to waste energy chasing him when he knows he is safe. this would make evolutionary sense if he had access to more energy than his predators or didn't use as much
November 30, 2011 at 12:15 pm
…energy escaping.
April 15, 2011 at 3:31 pm
I read somewhere that squirrels are adrenaline junkies and are addicted to the rush of chemicals in their bodies from tempting fate.
February 10, 2011 at 9:49 pm
Maybe the hawk had just finished a nice squirrel lunch…? A wonderful blog and whatever the reason, you do have to admire those bushy lil thrill-seekers! Photos are terrific.
February 10, 2011 at 4:20 pm
Squirrels are not known for their great intelligence, their survival scheme, much like other rodents, is a busy breeding cycle-very prolific.
Still, this tempting fate isn't what it appears. As you point out the squirrel is relatively safe in close quarters. He can out maneuver the hawk in this environment, and may just get a kick out of annoying it. On the other hand the last laugh usually goes to the predator. When you least expect it…..
Great post and wonderful, animated, photos.
February 10, 2011 at 11:54 am
Well, if making daffy decisions were all it takes to doom a species to extinction, I can think of one particular mammal that would have been out of the picture millenia ago. Of course evolution is an ever-unfolding process. Maybe what we're seeing is the step right before the point (say, in 1,000 years) when that first squirrel actually sprouts fangs and HURLS itself at the unsuspecting hawk.
February 9, 2011 at 11:37 am
What a treat to return to your blog!
February 8, 2011 at 1:55 pm
Fantastic photos Melissa. They open the whole world of the park and its inhabitants to us. And love what Daddy-o postulates. He could be onto something.
February 8, 2011 at 11:43 am
Maybe self sacrifice is built in just a survival is It would help to maintain a diversity of species. It may explain some of the more idiotic political activities we observe.

October brings with it a trio of infamous stock market anniversaries. The 19th is the 25th anniversary of "Black Monday". Fifty eight years earlier, October 29, 1929 marks the start of the Great Depression.
October 2008 also joins the list of market meltdowns. The FTSE 100 slid 8 per cent on one day (October 6) as the financial crisis escalated and markets expressed doubts about moves to bail out the banks.
It seems that if very bad things are going to happen to investors they have an uncanny habit of happening in October. Which raises the question of whether we

Upgrades to Veterans Park
By Coastal Breeze News Staff The journey to a completed Veterans' Park has been seven years in the making so far, from the initial proposal by the local VFW Post to completion of the first phase: a series of flags, benches and paving stones.

Phase II of the Veterans' Park Memorial will include the installation of a fountain and flag plaza. The committee's goal is to dedicate these enhancements next Veteran's Day; November 11, ...

OK, it's not terrible. I'm not going to call it a complete failure. It's just not right. It's not what I had imagined in my head. Plus, I think for about the same price (and a lot less effort). I could have gotten a very similar product already made.
Am I going to go out and buy the Pottery Barn curtain? Yep.
I've come to realize that there are times that projects just don't come together the way you imagined it would. But that's ok. That's kind of the risk you take with DIY. It's doesn't always turn out right.
So in the end, I'm not saving any money on this particular project. If I had just bought the Pottery Barn curtain in the first place, I would have. And that is when it's better to DIY than to BUY.

, updated October 5, 2012 at 9:57 AM
A line has been drawn in a dispute between Erie County's top prosecutor and a judge over a specialized domestic violence court.
State Supreme Court Justice Deborah A. Haendiges on Thursday set a deadline of noon today for District Attorney Frank A. Sedita III to prosecute a domestic assault charge against a man accused of breaking a woman's jaw. If the DA refuses, Haendiges said a special prosecutor will be appointed to handle the case.
The misdemeanor case is one of 11 that Sedita has refused to prosecute in Haendiges' Integrated Domestic Violence Court since Aug. 24 because he said he finds them better suited for local courts.
The deadline is the latest development in the dispute over a specialized court that judicial administrators describe as sensitive and coordinated for victims who also have custody or matrimonial cases pending but that has been criticized by Sedita as inefficient, costly and prone to dismissals and acquittals.
The District Attorney's Office has said appointing a special prosecutor would be unlawful.
In the meantime, both sides have put forth conflicting statistics about case dispositions.
Sedita has stopped prosecuting misdemeanors and violations in the integrated court, but he continues to prosecute felony domestic violence cases there and in other courts. Sedita prefers that his prosecutors handle violation- and misdemeanor-level domestic violence cases in local courts.
The dispute prompted the Erie County Coalition Against Family Violence to call on both sides "to resolve the concerns of both the DA's Office and the Supreme Court and choose an avenue of action that doesn't compromise victim safety."
"Although I am confident that the district attorney is concerned for the victims of domestic violence, unfortunately his comments in both his affidavit and press releases is sending a negative message to the community that domestic violence is not important," Michael A. Chase, community relations chairman for the coalition, said in a statement.
When the assault case against Michael Izzard was called Thursday morning, Sedita was in the courtroom.
Haendiges issued a pointed, written decision that denied Sedita's request that she recuse herself from the case and also defended the integrated court's and the prosecution's authority to handle unindicted misdemeanor cases transferred from criminal courts.
The decision also included the deadline for the district attorney to notify her in writing if he changes his mind and agrees to prosecute the case.
"I'll be waiting for that response," Haendiges said from the bench. "If there isn't one, that's OK, too."
An assistant district attorney first declined to deal with Izzard's case Sept. 20.
"Not appearing, Your Honor," the prosecutor said at the time. "The people will not prosecute a matter administratively transferred into the Integrated Domestic Violence part after Aug. 24, 2012, for the reasons set forth in the district attorney's previous correspondence. Thank you."
On Sept. 26, Donna A. Milling, chief of Sedita's Appeals Bureau, appeared before the judge and told her that the district attorney was "not failing to prosecute or failing to appear" but referred to Sedita's affidavit explaining his position that the case should not be heard in her court.
That led to Thursday's decision from Haendiges.
"They are not exercising any prosecutorial discretion in refusing to further investigate, negotiate a resolution, dismiss or proceed to trial," the judge wrote of the prosecution's stance on Izzard.
"Their abrogation of their authority at this stage of the proceedings is merely an attempt to choose a venue, and in doing so they are disregarding how their actions will affect this family," she wrote. "Prosecutorial discretion is the authority of the prosecutor to decide when, how and if to prosecute the case, not where the case is prosecuted. Clearly, this is an attempt to circumvent the intended purpose of the IDV part."
The judge said she found that the district attorney "has abrogated his authority to use his discretion as a prosecutor and he is deemed unavailable and no longer in attendance on this case."
The judge pointed out that Sedita's office already appeared on Izzard's case in a lower court and moved to reduce his original felony assault charge to a misdemeanor assault charge.
Sedita's arguments "fail to support a basis for the [district attorney's] lack of exercising any prosecutorial discretion in this case after it was transferred to the IDV part," she said in her decision.
Sedita told The Buffalo News that his prosecutor could handle the Izzard case competently in the lower court and that it did not need to be transferred to the integrated court.
Sedita said Rachel L. Newton, chief of his Domestic Violence Bureau, and Felony Trial Bureau chief Kristin A. St. Mary, the bureau's former chief, have expressed concern about the strain and workload placed on prosecutors by the number of cases involving lower-level charges in the integrated court.
Often, prosecutors in the integrated court must contend with not just the criminal-defense attorney, but the victim's matrimonial attorney, the defendant's matrimonial attorney and the child's law guardian. And prosecutors also contend with numerous noncriminal issues.
"They have both told me that IDV is a disaster," Sedita said. "It has gotten to a breaking point, and that's why I did this. This was the advice I was getting from two of my top female prosecutors in the office."
Sedita said he has taken steps to make sure that no dangerous offenders slip through the cracks during his dispute with the court.
The case against Izzard, for example, has been scheduled to be presented to the grand jury, Sedita said, citing the seriousness of the allegations against him.
"Should the grand jury return an indictment for any offense, I will prosecute the case in whatever forum I am directed to prosecute, including the IDV part," Sedita said.
He said his prosecutors will appear in whichever court the case is assigned for any defendant indicted by the grand jury, Sedita said.
Sedita said he has instructed Newton, his domestic violence bureau chief, to put any post-Aug. 24 case before a grand jury if she believes the offender should be prosecuted.
"I don't want to jeopardize domestic violence victims," Sedita said. "If there's a dangerous domestic violence offender out there whose case needs to be prosecuted, I have given her the discretion to put that case before a grand jury."
Sedita attributes the court's dismissal and acquittal rate to the fact too many of the cases are not domestic violence.
"They may be domestic discord cases," he said. "That's a real problem we're seeing."
Offenders in the integrated court should be those who have assaulted, stalked, strangled or threatened their spouse or girlfriends, he said.
"What we're seeing more of is domestic discord being labeled by somebody as domestic violence. That's why you have such a high acquittal rate."
Administrators at the integrated court have disputed Sedita's statistics.
Of 186 defendants whose cases were disposed of in the first six months of the year, 123 - or two-thirds - were found guilty by plea or trial, according to figures supplied by the court,
Twenty-six percent of the cases were dismissed, and only two cases ended in acquittal, according to the court.
Sedita, however, said the 109 dismissals and acquittals accounted for 46 percent of Haendiges' disposed cases in the past nine months.
The 84 cases resulting in a conditional discharge and the 25 cases resulting in probation equals the number of dismissals and acquittals, according to Sedita's numbers.
Twenty defendants served time in jail, he said.
Sedita said he derived his numbers from counting disposition slips that his assistant district attorney's fill out for every case.
"I don't know how [the Office of Court Administration] does their numbers but mine are accurate," he said.

On Nov. 9 and 10, the South Carolina Wildlife Federation (SCWF) will hold a class in bird biology, identification and habitat conservation at the Santee National Wildlife Refuge.
This class is open to the public and will feature woodland, open field and water birds as you walk through the transitioning habitat on the Bluff Unit of the refuge. You will learn about late-migrating and wintering warblers and vireos around the boardwalk trail; buntings and early arriving sparrows in the fields; coots, moorhens, early arriving ducks and wading birds in the impoundments; and, as always, birds of prey hunting the fields and open waters.
Located along the shores of Lake Marion, just outside of Summerton, Santee National Wildlife Refuge has become a haven for birds and birders, alike. From open waters to open fields and hardwood canopies to pine wood edges, the variety of habitats found at Santee NWR lends to an amazing diversity of birds, with nearly 300 species observed on the refuge. This two-day class will draw on the diversity found here to offer participants an unparalleled chance to learn about the birds of Santee NWR.
By the end of the day, participants will be able to:
• Comprehend and explain the reason for the wide variety of species found at Santee NWR.
• Better understand identification techniques used to discern difficult species of birds.
• Identify by sight and/or sound a number of bird species observed at Santee NWR.
This class will be taught by naturalist Josh Arrants who has worked with birds throughout South Carolina for over 10 years. Specializing in the management of the endangered Red-cockaded Woodpecker, as well as songbirds and birds of prey, Arrants operates MAPS (Monitoring Avian Productivity and Survivorship) stations for the Wildlife Branch at Fort Jackson, as well as the Natural and Cultural Resources Branch at Shaw Air Force Base.
Along with assisting SCWF with Midlands Master Naturalist classes and Women's Outdoor Retreats, he has banded birds and led nature walks from Virginia to Florida and is a certified Master Naturalist in the state of Montana.
This class is offered through the SCWF as part of the Palmetto Pro Birder program to introduce the basics of bird identification.
Classes are open to the public, and no prior knowledge is required. You may attend any individual class, or attend four modules and become a certified Pro Birder.
Space is limited.

A woman choked her son and slapped around a man she was drinking with in her home, officials said.
Lauren Ruppert grabbed her 5-year-old son by the neck and also attacked Dustin M. Flyte in the kitchen and at the front door of her home at 336 East Walnut St., Nazareth, Northampton Co., at about 2:15 p.m. Sunday, officials said.
When police arrived, the boy had bruises on several parts of his neck and Flyte had a large red mark on his right cheek and scratches on his neck, officials said.
The boy told police his mom "choked me and hit daddy in the kitchen and threw things at him," officials noted.
Both Ruppert and Flyte admitted they had been drinking, officials said.
Ruppert, 29, was arraigned on charges of assault, reckless endangerment and harassment and released on $7,500 unsecured bail, according to court documents.
A preliminary hearing is set for 9 a.m. Sept. 27.

My Problem
I have a dog and a cat and one day they were playing and my cat jumped on the counter to get away and used my iPad 2 and a jumping off point throwing it on the ground face down shattering the front digital screen!!!!
My Fix
It was VERY hard and time consuming. But overall with some patients and just being very careful fixable without breaking your bank.
My Advice
Make sure you have prying tools, guitar picks, Phillips 00 screwdriver and adhesive for new screen that you can order off this site and tools around your house that you will need include: hair dryer, tweezers, scotch tape (for any small slivers of glass) and an exacto knife. If your screen is cracked like mine also make sure you have protected eye gear just t be safe.
My Problem
Well I bought a 32 gb wifi iPad 2 which had been dropped and busted the glass screen for 160 dollars. Only thing wrong was the glass display and a small dent by the volume button.
My Fix
Terrible, anyone that says repairing an iPad with an already busted screen is high on life or something else. Broken shards everywhere! Had the glass been whole it would have just popped off in one fell swoop, but instead I had to keep reheating the glass and just scraping little pieces of glass and glue. After you get the glass off and the body cleaned up it's pretty straight forward....somewhat. When you transfer the home button there's no alignment marks to show you where you position the "bridge" that rests over the back...also adhesive for it wasn't included (but I did buy the front glass from another site so...), same goes for the camera plate that rests on top of the front facing camera, because I didn't put any new adhesive on it I believe it is the source of the small click that emanates from the top of the iPad. Some other little hassles but nothing an ounce of common sense doesn't overcome.
My Advice
Don't drink caffeine before doing this because the wifi ant. screws are really tiny, actually all the screws are really tiny and they love to get lost in carpeting. The little plastic lifter tools are not good for really "wrenching" on the glass because then they lose their sharp edge and then it becomes difficult later on to pop the lock tabs that hold the circuit ribbon in. Don't waste your time trying to tetris your way through the adhesive strips, they don't fit like they're cut right (maybe they are, I'm not good at tetris) I do know that the section for around the home button doesn't fit and around the camera one end is too short and doesn't make it to the corner. I just ended up cutting additional "helper" pieces for the gaps. The suction cup doesn't work if your screen has cracks...obviously. Don't freak out about the plastic trim piece around the outside of the glass, I forgot to order it. It doesn't ever come off the body when you remove the glass. Also the iPad body doesn't "un-dent" it just breaks off....so now I have a brand new looking iPad with a knick in it now.

Stop the Injunctions CoalitionWe are a diverse group of concerned community members fighting the proposed gang injunction(s) in Oakland. Contact us at stoptheinjunction [at] gmail [dot] com.
We oppose gang injunctions because:
1. Gang injunctions do not work because they do not address the root causes of violence, such as poverty and unemployment. We need to support our youth by fully investing in education, health care, community centers, affordable housing and providing meaningful jobs.
2. The City of Oakland is proposing spending $430,000 on this gang injunction while education and other vital services are being dramatically cut. We can choose to spend half a million dollars on this gang injunction, or we can choose to put more money into education, youth and community centers, job creation, and affordable housing, all of which will prevent violence. How can this be a priority while people are losing their homes and jobs, and schools are closing right and left?
3. Gang injunctions rely on racial profiling, and strip people of their civil rights. If granted, it would give the Oakland Police Department wide discretion to label people gang members without having to present any evidence to a judge or even charge them with a crime. The individuals impacted would not be provided with an attorney or given the opportunity to defend themselves.
4. We believe this gang injunction is being used to push poor and working class people of color out of North Oakland. We need to ask, why this neighborhood, why more police, and why now? North Oakland is being targeted for gentrification, and this measure will contribute to rapidly rising real estate prices and upscale development that will make housing unaffordable for people who have been living in North Oakland for decades.
