Bill Shorten says he will judge budget on job losses
- From: The Australian
- May 12, 2014
BILL Shorten says he will judge the Abbott government's first budget "on how many people are losing their jobs" as the Coalition places more than 70 government agencies under its axe.
The Australian this morning revealed more than 70 government agencies will be scrapped or merged in the budget as four major bodies - including the Royal Australian Mint and Defence Housing Australia - will be sold to raise several billion dollars in the first step of a program that will find other targets for -privatisation.
The full restructuring plan, estimated to save $470 million over four years, will force cultural agencies such as the National Gallery and National Library to merge their back-offices while agencies such as the Australian Renewable Energy Agency and the National Water Commission are abolished.
Mr Shorten attacked government plans to introduce a Medicare co-payment for doctors' visits and raise the fuel excise.
Asked whether Labor would oppose raising income taxes on high income earners through a deficit levy, Mr Shorten said: "We haven't seen what they're going to do, but broken promises shouldn't be rewarded.
"Tony Abbott made himself, before the last election, the saint of not breaking promises. His halo has well and truly slipped it would appear since becoming Prime Minister."
Australian Council of Trade Unions president Ged Kearney defended federal public servants as providing "a very important social safety net".
"I firmly believe that this unfortunately is looking after the big business interests by handing over government agencies … to the private sector so the private sector can make a profit from them," she said.
Ms Kearney said her own sister, Honoria, relied on government services to manage her intellectual disability.
"I couldn't bear to think that somebody was seeing her purely as a means to make a profit. There are some things that government just should provide," Ms Kearney said.
Finance Minister Mathias Cormann this morning said the government had become "way too big and way too wasteful" with nearly 1000 independent government bodies.
"Yes, there will be a significant effort in this budget as a second phase in our effort to reduce the size of government, which will be followed with further efforts down the track, and really the purpose is to make sure that government administration is as efficient and cost effective as possible," Senator Cormann told ABC Radio.
"What we're looking at very carefully is the functions that are being performed, how they compare with functions being performed by other agencies, and where it makes sense to merge various bodies into one or where it makes sense to ask the private sector to perform certain functions."
The Opposition Leader said the government was "showing all the signs of being hopelessly out of touch with the real world".
"I'll be judging the budget on how many people are losing their jobs courtesy of Tony Abbott," Mr Shorten said.
"It's not the job of the Abbott government to make life harder for average Australians who get up and make Australia work every day."
Senator Cormann said the proliferation of federal agencies under the Rudd and Gillard governments meant the work of government had become "uncoordinated".
"There have been too many agencies responsible for the same area of government. This leads to blurred lines of accountability, it leads to uncoordinated action and we think that by doing what we're proposing to do that we can make government decision making and government service delivery more effective.
Opposition infrastructure spokesman Anthony Albanese told ABC Radio: "The theme of this budget is they don't like the public sector, they don't like public health, they're walking away from universality of Medicare, they don't like public transport. There's a theme here … it's that they don't like the public."

A new study from Juniper Research has found that more than 3 billion loyalty cards will operate as mobile-only or be integrated into mobile apps by 2020, up from 1.4 billion last year. The new research - "Mobile & Online Coupons: Redemption, Loyalty & Consumer Engagement 2015-2020" - found that brands and retailers are increasingly responding to consumer demand for mobile integration, with many now offering customers the opportunity to store their loyalty cards within a dedicated digital wallet.
The research also argues that the improved targeting and personalisation made possible by digital coupons leads to greater activity rates, thereby resolving a key failing of traditional mobile loyalty cards in which the lack of relevant offers results in a downturn in usage.
The research also found wide variations amongst retailers and other reward card providers with regard to the extent of digital loyalty integration. In the UK, for example, around 40% of Nectar Card holders had acquired the loyalty app by late-2015, but less than 4% of Tesco Clubcard holders utilize the Clubcard app. The research found a similar disparity between US retailers Walgreens, where 61% of card holders had linked their card to an app, and Target, which had only 27% of cardholders linked.
The Bullet Point: The convergence of mobile devices, mobile wallets, and loyalty will transform the loyalty industry in ways more profound than at any time since the industry's modern birth in the early 1980s. As illustrated in the research, disparate levels of engagement will continue to plague the marketers, but it's not a new problem�most loyalty programmes that fail do so because of poor strategy, flawed financial models and projections, and inability to use customer data to drive relationship growth. Consumers will demand convergence�but they'll also demand relevance. Marketers who fail to deliver on either count will find themselves also-rans in the battle for customer loyalty.

DARPA's New Robot Conquers Stairs
No sooner does DARPA lay down the Robotics Challenge gauntlet do they then entice would be entrants by giving them a glimpse of what they get to work with. DARPA released a video recently of their robot stomping impressively up a flight of stairs. If you're not familiar, the Robotics Challenge is a competition in which the winning robot(s) will successfully carry out a set of tasks on a disaster simulation course. DARPA's raising the bar with the course, requiring the robots to, among other things, drive a vehicle, climb a ladder, and identify and fix a leaky pipe. The winning team get $2 million and undoubtedly YouTube celebrity.
The competition is broken up into four tracks. Tracks A and D will build their own robot and develop their own software. But those who don't qualify to get DARPA funding for their work in Track A will have to supply their own funding through Track D. Tracks B and C work similarly, except teams in these tracks will only develop software and use DARPA's government funded equipment (GFE) – aka, the robot – as part of their platform.
The stairmaster was developed in collaboration with Boston Dynamics who, with their stock of rugged, can-do robots like Petman and Alpha Dog, have to be a favorite for the Challenge.
I'm really excited to see what solutions the world's robotics developers unleash on the obstacle course. DARPA's high-steppin' robot in the video isn't complete. A torso, arms, and a head will be added so entrants can climb that ladder and seal that pipe leak. The course is a seriously difficult challenge and most likely it'll be a few years before a robot raises its arms – or arachnoid appendages – in victory. But one thing is clear, DARPA is serious about making that happen as soon as possible.

Some of the most remote areas in the United States were also some of the last places to get access to electricity, with as many as nine out of ten rural homes without electricity in the mid-1930s. After President Roosevelt created the Rural Electrification Administration, things began to change. Roosevelt's New Deal era sparked the creation of today's 900 electric cooperatives (co-ops) that power the homes of more than 42 million Americans across 47 states.
Last spring, a 3D-printed replica Shelby Cobra, manufactured at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), visited the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) headquarters in Washington, DC.
American manufacturing is booming, but how do we take it to the next level? The answer could be found in the National Network for Manufacturing Innovation.
Oak Ridge National Laboratory published an article in Scientific Reports on its new method to directly convert biomass-derived ethanol to a hydrocarbon blendstock and is continuing work with Vertimass, LLC. to commercialize it.
Scroll through the photos to see some of the Energy Department-supported technologies that are lowering carbon pollution and moving America's economy forward.
The SunShot Initiative works with utilities to help generate, integrate, and distribute solar energy. EERE recently announced $18 million in funding for projects with utilities, potentially allowing hundreds of gigawatts of solar energy to be added to the grid.
As EERE hits the ground running in 2016, let's take a minute to celebrate our hard work in 2015 that advanced hydrogen and fuel cells to where they are today. From research and development, to real-world deployment, 2015 was a landmark year for the hydrogen and fuel cell industry.
ICM Inc. announced successful completion of two 1,000-hour performance runs of its patent-pending Generation 2.0 Co-Located Cellulosic Ethanol process at its cellulosic ethanol pilot plant in St. Joseph, Missouri. This is an important step toward the commercialization of cellulosic ethanol from switchgrass and energy sorghum.
America's power grid – while reliable today – needs a 21st century facelift, not only to accommodate the nation's unfolding economic and security needs, but to achieve U.S. clean energy goals for a safe, affordable, domestic supply of electricity.
The Department of Energy has recently created the Grid Modernization Initiative (GMI), an ongoing effort that reflects the Obama Administration's commitment to improve the resiliency, reliability, and security of the nation's grid, while adding growing amounts of renewable energy.
Cooper Tire recently developed concept tires that can improve fuel efficiency by 5.5%, supported by a project from the EERE Vehicle Technologies Office (VTO). In addition to exceeding VTO's goal of improving fuel efficiency by 3%, the new tires are more than 23% (5 to 6 pounds) lighter than current tires. They also reduce rolling resistance by more than 30% while still meeting performance and durability goals.
This month the Department of Energy is making a series of announcements to support its Grid Modernization Initiative. But what does grid modernization mean for you? We've broken it down.
Commercial air conditioners, often referred to as rooftop units (RTUs), are commonly used across commercial building sectors such as schools, restaurants, big box retailers, and small office buildings. These heating, ventilation and air conditioning units condition almost half of all U.S. commercial floor space. But commonly they are old and inefficient, wasting anywhere from $900 to $3,700 per unit annually.
American solar power continued its rapid growth in 2015, adding new jobs 12 times faster than the rest of the economy, while saving customers tens of millions of dollars per year on energy bills.
Here on the EERE Blog, we tell other stories related to the Energy Department's efforts to develop and deliver market solutions for energy saving-homes, buildings, and manufacturing; sustainable transportation; and renewable electricity generation. Here are our top five blog posts for 2015.
EERE Success Stories celebrate the milestones and accomplishments in which EERE has played a role. Here are the five most popular EERE Success Stories of 2015.
A new report from the Department of Energy's (DOE's) Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) and National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) finds that state renewable portfolio standard (RPS) policies reduced greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution, while also reducing water use, creating renewable energy jobs and suppressing wholesale electricity and natural gas prices.
Every year, it becomes even more affordable to "go solar." However, one thing remains consistent: the non-hardware, or "soft" costs related to permitting, installation, and maintenance account for more than half of the cost of an installed rooftop solar array. The SunShot Initiative's Rooftop Solar Challenge funding program is successfully reducing these costs and providing a framework for others to do the same.
As we start the new year, we're taking a look back at December 2015--our top blog posts and some favorites we want to share with you. Happy New Year!
EERE has developed a new Strategic Plan and Implementing Framework to advance its mission and to continue to play a global leadership role in developing and deploying clean, sustainable and affordable energy technologies.
Solar Ready Vets helped American veterans get jobs in the solar industry in 2015. 2016 is going to be even bigger.
Jasmine Ramero, a member of the Rocky Mountain Youth Corps (RMYC), functioning on behalf of the Energy Department's Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP), is a top performer in her field. In February (2015) she was honored by the National Corps Network as Corpsmember of the Year. Two years ago, Ramero did not know anything about weatherization, but now she is on the path towards making history: becoming the first female weatherization quality control inspector/auditor in the State of New Mexico.
David Friedman, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary, Office of Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy, visited the L.A. Auto Show in November 2015. He shared his thoughts about transportation's future in this video.
Make 2016 the year you to take a few simple steps to save energy, starting with our list of energy resolutions.
The Clean Energy Manufacturing Initiative (CEMI) recently kicked off its new Technologist in Residence (TIR) pilot at an event at Argonne National Laboratory convening the pilot's seven competitively selected technologist pairs, Energy Department officials, and national lab representatives. This two-year, $2.6 million pilot program is designed to strengthen U.S. clean energy manufacturing competitiveness and enhance the commercial impact of the Energy Department's national laboratories.

Sempach Bird Observatory
The Sempach Bird Observatory (Vogelwarte Sempach in German) is a bird observatory and ornithological research centre, also known as the Swiss Ornithological Institute, which is based at the town of Sempach in the district of Sursee in the canton of Lucerne in Switzerland. It overlooks Lake Sempach. Founded in 1924, it is a non-profit organization and the largest private field research institute in Switzerland. It carries out a bird ringing program as well as other ornithological research, conservation biology, and public education.
Bird ringing[edit]
The Institute manages the Swiss Ringing Scheme under contract for the Swiss Agency for the Environment, Forests and Landscape, and issues bird rings inscribed "Sempach Helvetia" for use in Switzerland only. Special projects managed by the Scheme include the Alpine ringing station "Col de Bretolet" at 1923 m asl on the Swiss-French border, and the Integrated Population Monitoring Program for the common kestrel and barn owl, which studies population changes and dispersal movements.

can quench nor cease the fires
which burn, and yearn for you
within my soul.
The more I try to quench the
thoughts of passion, the more
ignited the passion of Christ
Why have the
Saints allowed this love,
and bless they do our lives
a new?
What is this passion inside
of me that only Christ
can fill?
I saw, I saw his light within
your eyes and felt his love
engulf my being and yours
with the mystery of true love,
not the flesh, not the insanity of
lust, but with the greatest
passion known to
man and woman, the
Passion of Christ.

Product Reviews
Its does what it does
Posted by Chris on 2nd Sep 2015
I wish they would let you choose a remote seperate from the one they offered from the kit, I would like to have the option to choose white vs color instead of hunting for it.... other than that im fine with the product.
Great Product
Posted by College Bro on 9th Mar 2015
The brightness of the lights is great, the range of colors to select from is great, and the controller has a great feel to it.
I rate these 4/5 stars because you have to pay a pretty penny for the quality of lights you get..
But with that said, I bought cheaper lights first and they stopped functioning within 2 weeks and I gladly will pay (more than) double for a product that works, over a product that doesn't (consistently).
Excellent Kit
Posted by Erick on 9th Jan 2015
This kit comes with everything you need, and maybe even more (in my case I didn't use all the extra included cables/connectors). Everything was very easy to install.
I did had a minor issue as there are some "missing" cut points. You are supposed to be able to cut your strip every three LEDs as the strip has a set of contacts - cut line - set of contacts, like this :|: but I had two parts where only one set of contacts existed, and no cut line. I had to use a knife to expose the copper trace and connect my strip.
No problems.
Posted by Andy on 11th Oct 2014
Everything went together without a hitch. The LED strips are self-adhesive, which I didn't notice mentioned anywhere. No need for additional mounting hardware unless you're doing something fancy. I'd love it if they made shorter connectors for turning corners; the standard five or six inch ones leave a bit of extra wire that needs to be tucked away.
Great Kit
Posted by Chris K on 5th Mar 2013
Great kit contains every thing you need to power & control the 16 feet length of lights. Flexfire upgraded my power supply without a problem so that I was able to power the extra 4 foot of lights I also purchased. Everything hooked up easily. Only issue I had was one of the strip to strip solderless connectors would not make contact with all 4 contacts at once. Luckily I ordered a couple extra just in case (at $1 a piece i figured i better be safe). Other than that minor issue it was an easy job and looks great. Controller is awesome and has many programs & love the pause feature which lets you freeze the lights on a color you like. Excellent purchase.

This week, Representative Paul D. Ryan (R-Wi.) may have made himself a leading Republican presidential contender in 2016. By proposing an end to the budget impasse that did not include one word -- Obamacare -- Ryan may have outmaneuvered Senators Rand Paul (R- Ky.) and Ted Cruz (R- Texas).
The Great Debate
2014: The Democrats' dilemma
Washington has been fascinated by Republican self-laceration since the 2012 election. Karl Rove triggered a circular firing squad by vowing to take out unwashed challengers in GOP primaries. Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal begged Republicans to stop being the "stupid party." Strategists say the party can't survive as stale, pale and male. Tea Party legislators knee-cap GOP congressional "leaders" and well-funded political PACs strafe any who dare deviate from the party's unpopular gospel. Republicans are even talking about changing "Grand Old Party" to something more fashionable.
Boehner resurrects the antebellum South
Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) is now in Williamsburg, Virginia, meeting with his House Republican conference at their annual retreat. The GOP House members have likely gotten over the initial shock of the November elections – in which President Barack Obama won more than 51 percent of the vote and the Democratic majority swelled in the Senate.
The sham of Simpson-Bowles
Erskine Bowles and former Senator Alan Simpson deserve some kind of medal for creating the widely held perception that their plan for reducing the deficit and debt is anything other than a bad proposal.
The neocons' war against Obama
The neoconservatives who rebuffed the Republican establishment's warnings about the perils of war in Iraq have now opened another front —against President Barack Obama.
Paul Ryan: a VP with a mandate
The New Yorker's Ryan Lizza rightly called Mitt Romney's bold selection of Representative Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin) as his running mate, "the most daring decision of his political career."
Paul Ryan and the rich man's burden
Mitt Romney's decision to name Representative Paul Ryan of Wisconsin as his running mate says quite a lot about what Romney thinks about America and its workers, and none of it is good. In recent years, Ryan has earned a reputation as the intellectual of the conservative movement. He's a gutsy guy who has been willing to transparently share his vision for America through a detailed budget proposal that leads inescapably to this conclusion: He believes that American workers are slackers and freeloaders.
Ryan's budget frames 2012 election around Medicare
This week, House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan released what amounts to the most substantive roadmap for fiscal policy that any Republican is likely to offer in 2012. Many political pundits and policy analysts, especially those on the left, are eager to dig into the details to alert the public about the potential (negative) impacts of a budget that slices off $5 trillion in total federal spending compared with the plan offered by President Obama in February.
Paul Ryan's weak case for a strong defense
One aspect of Paul Ryan's new budget that hasn't drawn much attention is that it is a big love letter to the Pentagon. Ryan rejects the idea that budgetary pressures should have any effect on defense spending, which he argues should be dictated purely by "strategic" calculations. Among other things, the Ryan budget would reverse $55 billion in defense cuts mandated for 2013 by the "trigger" agreed to in last year's budget ceiling deal – and cut this same amount from domestic programs instead.
Will conservatives embrace a consumption tax?
Headlines over the past couple of weeks have been dominated by reactions to President Obama's new proposal for corporate tax reform. The optimism stems from the realization that practically all the major plans by Democrats and Republicans would move the U.S. tax code in the direction of a territorial-based system (in which a corporation is taxed on domestic, not foreign, income). Moreover, these plans all accept the premise that to make the U.S. code more competitive globally, the tax base must be broadened, and that means cutting deductions and preferences in exchange for lowering the top-line rate (i.e., down to between 25 percent and 28 percent from today's 35 percent rate).

The Charles Center - Inner Harbor Corporation, officially founded in 1965, was an out-growth of the Planning Council of the Greater Baltimore Committee and the Committee for Downtown. In June 1959, Walter Sondheim, Jr., chairman of the Commission of the Baltimore Urban Renewal and Housing Agency (BURHA), announced the appointment of J. Jefferson Miller as General Manager of the Charles Center Project. The following year, Martin Millspaugh left the United States Urban Renewal Administration to become Miller's Deputy General Manager. These two men, responsible for the Charles Center Project from 1960-65, ran the office based on personal contract with the city.
In 1965, BURHA asked Miller and Millspaugh to administer the redevelopment of the two hundred forty acres adjacent to the Central Business District. To carry out this project, they formed Charles Center - Inner Harbor Management, Inc. (CC-IH) as a non-profit corporation. Miller became Chairman of the Board and Millspaugh became President. On September 1, 1965 CC-IH and the Mayor and City Council implemented a contract. Under this contract, CC-IH, constituted as a quasi-public development corporation, performed such city agency functions as purchasing property and overseeing rental properties, demolition and construction; the corporation was accountable to the Baltimore Urban Renewal and Housing Commission, since renamed Commission of Housing and Community Development.
In 1970, CC-IH assumed responsibility for the administration of Metro-Center, overseeing private and public development throughout downtown Baltimore. At that time, Walter Sondheim, General Manager of the Metro-Centro program, was appointed Vice Chairman of the Board. At Miller's death in 1975, Sondheim became Chairman.
In 1984, as a result of several administrative changes implemented by Mayor Schaefer, Martin Millspaugh became Chairman of CC-IH. Replacing him as president was Albert M. Copp. Walter Sondheim, former Chairman, left the Board to become head of the Mayor's Office of Special Projects.
CC-IH continues to function as a private corporation providing specialized services on a contractual basis. Responsible for the development of downtown Baltimore, the corporation acts in a third party role, able to represent both the city and developers in the rebirth of downtown Baltimore.
This series consists of printed materials maintained by the staff of the Charles Center - Inner Harbor Management Corporation to document the various projects proposed and implemented in the urban renewal areas of the city that they administer. Included are feasibility studies, developers' portfolios and proposals, appraisals, urban renewal plans, progress reports and environmental impact statements.
Additional urban renewal plans appear in RG48 S31B.
A separate listing of the project areas and companies represented is available.
The major portion of the series (Boxes 1-13) consists of rental records concerning properties in the Inner Harbor area owned by the city and slated for demoliton for Inner Harbor projects. Files for individual properties contain correspondence, leases, rent receipts, relocation reports, court summons, blueprints, and other miscellaneous materials pertaining to the rental. The remaining files (Boxes l4-15) contain general records dealing with the administration of the rental program. Included are monthly collections and expense reports, options on property, staff meeting minutes, acquisition reports, demolition reports, and miscellaneous correspondence.
A file folder listing is available for Boxes 14 and 15.
This series contains detailed information concerning the development of the projects undertaken by Charles Center-Inner Harbor Management: Charles Center (1958), Inner Harbor Project One (1965), Inner Harbor West (1968), and Inner Harbor East (1971). Records include: correspondence, memorandums, reports, leases and agreements, appraisals, drawings, photographs, and newspaper clippings. There is much information concerning individual properties, particularly in the Inner Harbor West and East project files.
Other information concerning these urban renewal projects can be found in Record Group 48, the records of the Department of Housing and Community Development.
A file folder listing is available for this series.

Just before Christmas last year the mother of all hacks took place in the US. Target, a retailer which sells everything from kid's swings and outdoor flooring to curling irons and razor sharp HD smart TVs had its point of sales (PoS) systems hacked.
Information from up to 40 million customer's credit and debit cards was lifted by hackers. Within days, this information started appearing on underground web sites which specialize in this type of information. Some of the credit card details were going for about $20 each. So worried were the banks that some of them even dived into the deep web and bought up the credit/debit card information to protect their reputation and their customer's bank accounts.
Bad headlines, plunging profits
The Target hack made the news and continues to hit the headlines, simply because of the enormous scale of the hack. The latest chapter is an almighty 46% plunge in company's profit for the last three months of 2013. As the US's second largest retail discount chain, it's clearly taken a battering, with many customers understandably treating the company as a bit of a retail leper.
But the fact is that most PoS hacks are often way down the news agenda and are often not reported because they happen on a much smaller scale. Harried reporters, driven by new editors and the need to continually produce the goods in terms of big stories, understandably focus on cyber espionage or big denial-of-service attacks. The average PoS attack on the other hand, tends to target independent retailers, a restaurant or a local service, and as such doesn't generate much press coverage.
Would you like some hacking with your meal, sir/madam?
Hackers understand the value of these small scale attacks. Sale prices for credit and debit cards on the deep web can vary between $20 to $50, sometimes a little bit more or a little less. If a hacker can penetrate a restaurant's PoS and lift the credit card details acquired in just one weekend evening, say 100 that can lead to $2,000 profit.
There are security standards that retailers should adopt to protect credit/debit card information and many do, most notably PCI. However, there are plenty of critics who point to the widely accepted PCI standard for retail card payments as being weak and ineffective. And even it could be more than it is, other industry insiders says many smaller retailers don't comply with it.
Despite adherence to PCI standards the vulnerabilities often lie in the inner systems and software running on these systems. And this is one of the charges levelled at Target – there was a vulnerability in which data gathered by the PoS device was momentarily exposed before it was encrypted and sent over an internal network.
It's still not definitively clear how it was carried out but what is fairly certain is that the hackers used malware that instructed PoS cash registers, connected to an internal network, to send customer data back to a malware infected Target server once every hour.
From Russia… with code
These customer data files were then apparently sent to a web server and wiped from the Target server so there was no memory of it within the Target server. To avoid triggering any alerts the cyber criminals coded the malware to then send the customer data files to a server in Russia but only after a period of six days. The hack was so clever the company didn't know anything about it until the US Secret Services notified the company about its suspicions.
The investigators had been tracking the cyber criminals believed to behind the attack overseas and also monitoring suspicious credit activity spotted. They had detected a pattern: suspicious credit/debit card transactions that also featured charges and payments made at Target.
From Minneapolis to Nairobi
For example, a long time married Minneapolis man who checked his monthly American Express bill saw the usual Target purchases which were then followed by an unusual membership subscription to Match.com and the purchase of a $1,291.58 plane ticket from Lagos, Nigeria, to Johannesburg and Nairobi, Kenya.
This pattern, of a Target purchase, followed by other purchases that didn't follow previous purchasing patterns created its own pattern. The Target hack and other PoS hacks reveals a fundamental flaw in human psychology and one that is no doubt designed to act as defense mechanism – like death, its something that always happens to someone else – and never us, until it does.
Compliance with security standards often creates a false sense of security and if anything the Target hack revealed that cards which use magnetic strips to store and transfer data are outdated.
A data siphon
Magnetic strip cards are common in the US. Some industry insiders say this was the cause of the Target debacle because it's easier to siphon data from these cards which are more akin to the cassette tapes of yesteryear than the modern security practices required today.
The European Chip and Pin has been widely touted as the answer to vulnerable magnetic strip cards. Chip and PIN cards contain a computer chip with information that's read by an ATM or retail PoS machine. The user enters his or her PIN which matches the PIN on the chip to authenticate the transaction.
When a customer pays for goods, the ATM or PoS terminal accesses the chip on the card. Once the card is verified as authentic, the 4-digit PIN is entered and submitted to the chip on the card. If the two numbers match the chip tells the terminal the PIN is correct.
The chip and PIN software installed in ATM's and PoS machines is supposed to create an unpredictable number to authenticate each transaction. However, this has proven to be vulnerable to attack. If this number can be predicted hackers can clone the chip without actually cloning it.
Cambridge boffins
The flaw was revealed by researchers at Cambridge University's Computer Laboratory. It's a rare form of attack and Chip and PIN are infinitely more secure than magnetic strip cards, but the researchers got onto the flaw following contact from a UK citizen who had his Chip and PIN card compromised when travelling around Europe.
In the recent past PoS hacks have ranged from the clever to more mainstream. In one case hackers revealed how they had identified flaws in PoS Linux operating systems. They installed malware via a credit card that was fed into a PoS machine. The malware then contacted a server controlled by the hackers and malware downloaded onto the PoS terminal.
Hanging in hotels
Another PoS hack in Montreal, Canada, involved a group of thieves who actually physically removed the PoS terminals and then took them to technical people nearby waiting in cars, vans and hotel rooms. Sniffers were then installed on the terminals. When the terminals began collecting card details, the data was downloaded and used on blank cards. Almost $8 million was stolen using the cards before the gang was caught.
It's almost a case of where there's something valuable to be stolen someone will find a way of doing it. And the thing about hacking is that the perps can be thousands of miles away. The hackers behind the Target attack are understood to have operated out of Eastern Europe and Russia.
A good answer
If you've got a Chip and PIN card you can be reasonably assured of relative safety. But that said no method is ever completely foolproof. You can protect yourself with good identity theft protection. Should your details be lifted from some PoS somewhere and appear on the deep web or be used to make an online purchase, identity theft protection will ensure you find out about it before any damage is done.
It's a saving grace, in that as clever as hackers can be, the corollary is that there's equally clever technology that scans the vast electronic web that is the Internet for your details and alerts you within seconds if they are discovered.

Think about it. You've seen in our investment community and some folks in your neighborhood, collecting gold. We need gold for manufacturing, electronics, some household goods, jewelry and on-and-on. What gold our locals and persons in the investment community are collecting, is a pittance compared to what our government is selling. Foolish, stupid; you bet, while China is buying tons and Russia has bought gold weighing more than the Statue of Liberty. We are selling to support our debt and we are printing so much money, it is becoming funny money. You've seen it; nations see our dollar as being unstable.
What do we do? We cannot lower interest rates anymore, because we are at "O". This is wrecking havoc on our capital markets, depriving us of money for our productive enterprises and growth, thus yielding no new jobs. It is so bad, savings accounts in banks are getting .8 percent return and CDs 1.5 percent, with a ten-year CD now at 1.8 percent. This all punishes individuals who save via their banks and it also stymies growth in bank IRAs and pension accounts.
I listened to the State of the Union address. It was Keynesian policies all over again, i.e. tax and spend. Remember, there is never enough money when you are spending other people's money. When the government is in control, it means the central banks delegate where capital will go. Historically, this kind of thinking means subpar growth and negative returns. The scale of our government debt is historic. Our wealth is being destroyed by Washington buying up our government bonds and taking wealth away from the private sector. This policy is destroying wealth.
Our Congress has considered allowing the yen and Euro to be circulated throughout our economy? Wow! Now, the stock market is doing great. Don't count on it. In absolute terms it is still not up to where it was in 2007.
We need a gold commission, as advocated by the Republican Party. n
Where do we go from here? We have a president and others espousing horrific economic principles. It may not get better because many of our colleges are not teaching the principles of stable money. We citizens who see the writing on the wall, must be resolute and write, vote and pray for knowledgeable leaders who understand. This is a "war" folks, and China is winning it and Russia is getting back in the game. Before we have another catastrophe like the 1930s, we must try to g et back on some kind of gold standard and move forward that way.

I miss ordering a Smothered beef burrito, but stuffing myself on the corn chips and salsa so that I can take the burrito for lunch the next day... just sayin'!
I miss my sour stomach! Haven't felt that one in a very long time. Vile mood, also - that was great stuff.
Seriously - deluxe steak nachos would be nice, as would peanut butter cookies. Peanut butter cookie / ice cream sandwiches. A great, meaty sandwich with real bread would be nice once in a while.
Would I ever go back? nu-uh. Nope.
If you are new to the PB - please ignore ALL of this stuff, until you've read the book, or at least http://www.marksdailyapple.com/primal-blueprint-101/ and this (personal fave): http://www.archevore.com/get-started/
I miss ordering a Smothered beef burrito, but stuffing myself on the corn chips and salsa so that I can take the burrito for lunch the next day... just sayin'!
Self-realization. I was thinking of the immortal words of Socrates, who said, "... I drank what?"
I had a Reese's Peanut Butter cup for an Easter treat. It tasted like skata and I did not enjoy it like I thought I would. I do miss Greek pastries with filo dough though.
French fries and fried chicken I love fried food... I guess I could primalize it at home with some tallow but that's more trouble than it's worth. On sunny days, my best friend and I used to meet up for beer and fries at a bar after work. She's moved away so it's not something we do any more anyway, but having a chicken salad in that setting is just not the same.
Other than that though, I don't miss much. Whenever the french fry craving strikes, which isn't more than once a week, I oven roast some sweet potatoes. Served with some mayo, that takes care of the craving. I thought I would crave sweet things but I really don't, because I still allow myself a piece of chocolate a day.
there are times I miss the old stuff...
Last night I kicked back and celebrated 99 pounds off with a couple of ounces of rum... Grok laughed at me from the corner of the room.
With the rum came some clouded judgement and some corn chips and potato chips...
well... back on the Primal Wagon today...
Convenience. I miss not having to think too much about food. Sometimes at the end of the day I just don't feel like cooking, but if I want to eat I have to. I was never all that bad about junk food, the occasional pig-out, but being able to open a can of soup and eat that with some bread or crackers. Yeah, I miss that.
Sushi. Sashimi is good, but every now and then you want one of those fun rolls with all the rice and stuff in them.
Every now and then I get a whiff of someone else's french fries and start drooling, but I remember how crappy they make me feel and don't indulge.
Peanut butter and indian takeaways
I find I don't "miss" much because if I have a really solid craving for something, I just set aside a time and eat it. I don't go nuts, but at easter I had some chocolate. A few months ago we went to a really nice Italian place out of town and I ate pasta. Not primal or paleo at all, but I did it because it was delicious. Bad food (grains, sugars, etc) should not be seen as nutritional items, but as indulgences, like alcohol. If you get drunk every night, no big surprise when that doesn't make you healthy. if you eat pasta 4 days a week, the diabetes shouldn't surprise you either.

Camping is key at Alpine Valley, promoter says
Mark Campana, co-president of North America concerts for Live Nation, may believe the BMO Harris Bradley Center is operating "way below the midline," but that's also the case in recent years for Live Nation-operated Alpine Valley Music Theatre in East Troy. It is hosting just three concerts this summer, all in August: an annual appearance by Jimmy Buffett, a KISS and Def Leppard double header and a hip-hop tour headlined by Wiz Khalifa.
What could help Alpine Valley? One word: camping. »Read Full Article

Judges 'not always best placed' to decide public interest
Topics: Courts business,Government & politics
Politicians are sometimes better placed than judges to decide what is in the public interest in disputes over freedom of information, the government's most senior lawyer has said.
Attorney general Jeremy Wright QC MP (pictured) said there were 'constitutional' and 'practical' reasons why courts were not necessarily best placed to take decisions involving matters of public interest.
Rather, the attorney general 'is better placed than the courts, or indeed other ministers, to decide what the public interest is'.
In a speech circulated by the government today, Wright told University College London's law faculty yesterday that when it came to matters of public interest, 'there is a tone to the debate sometimes that government is partisan, making decisions for its own benefit. It is sometimes said that only judges are sufficiently detached to be able to take decisions which truly balance competing interests.
'In my view there are circumstances where it is clearly right that decisions on matters of public interest should be taken by an elected, accountable politician, rather than by a court.'
Such circumstances currently include those relating to conducting foreign relations and national security strategy, Wright said. He suggested these circumstances could be extended to include decisions in relation to requests made under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.
In 2015, the Supreme Court dismissed an appeal by the attorney general in relation to the disclosure of letters between government departments and the Prince of Wales.
The attorney general had issued a certificate under section 53 of the Freedom of Information Act stating that he had, on 'reasonable grounds', formed the opinion that the departments had been entitled to refuse disclosure of the letters.
Wright said that parliament had intended that the exercise of the government veto 'should be an executive function with democratic accountability for its use through parliament.
'It constitutes a rare, but as I have set out far from unprecedented, recognition that the courts cannot constitutionally be the sole guardians of the public interest, and that there are more important exceptions to the principle that courts' views are final.'
Wright said the veto would always be subject to the 'checks and balances' of judicial review, 'but a proposition that complex balances of the public interest - which are after all the daily business of modern government - can only be done by courts is plainly wrong'.
A forthcoming bill to regulate interception of communications however, was a good example where 'ministers and the court can have different but complementary roles', he said.
The draft investigatory powers bill, published last year, includes an authorisation model requiring a judicial commissioner to approve a warrant authorised by a secretary of state, almost always in advance.

@Anonymous9 February 2016 02:20 pm:
As there is no real Legal Profession anymore, and no way of charging for uncovering corruption (Central Funds having gone and Legal Aid), it was coming.
In fact I am surprised this sort of statement has taken so long to come to the fore......
I offer a very hackneyed, " Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? ".
Not Mr Putin yet, I think.
At least he hasn't tried to hit the Chief Justice as James I did Coke CJ for telling he ruled "under God and the common law". Or locked him in the Tower.
Her Majesty's Judges will continue to do what Her Majesty's Judges have to do - to paraphrase Coke again. So long as we accept that they do their best, are not corrupt, and are not always right.
I hope that the senior judges won't take this lying down.
I thought they were trying to control the judiciary by giving them budgetary responsibility and then controlling the purse strings?
But I guess they have to keep other cards up their sleeves - just in case? Even though it is the minority who elect our ministers?!
I would say that judges cannot be trusted to decide what is in the public interest. You only have to look at all of their ridiculous HRA rulings to see that they are out-of-touch with reality. They should defer to the MPs in Parliament, who can be changed every five years if enough people don't like what they have done.
Regrettably there have been a couple of recent cases that do indeed raise the spectre that the judge or jury must have been nobbled, but even so the corruptibility of the judicial system is manifestly far less than the parliamentary and civil service system (particularly once Jack Straw finishes exempting the civil service from transparency).
I must contradict anon of 04.44. The present government is doing its best financially to cripple the Labour party, is planning a huge gerrymander with constituency boundaries, and has already started filleting the voting rolls to remove the young and transient (who are far more likely to vote Labour). In the real world the change of getting rid of the con-servatives via the ballot box is slim and getting less, not for proper (policy related) political reasons but because of antidemocratic manoeuvring.
One general has already hinted at a coup to remove a Labour government (if ever) led by Corbyn.
The press and media, in the hands of a few very rich barons, provide a relentless bombardment of highly right-wing propaganda, and outright lies in government (Hammond, Hunt, to name but two) go unremedied.
The progression is obvious. They came for the sick. They came for the poor. They came for the workers. They came for the foreigners. They came for the unions. They came for the lawyers. Now they are coming for the judges.
Oh - and, incidentally, you know the long list of things said to have been provided in the name of human rights, starting with hard-core porn in prisons, proceeding the KFC on prison roofs, deportation blocked for a pet cat, etc - they are all lies. Look it up - as any competent lawyer ought to be able to do.

There are things we can know, and control, and things that we cannot. And I am constantly learning the difference. There are always crops which keep me humble, which raise questions of timing, fertilization, and care, which do not come out as I intended. One year it was beans, another year, winter squash. My 'Russian Banana' fingerling potatoes were the crop this year. 'Taters Gone Wild: 2 Bushels and Counting 8/1/2016 12:13:00 PM The harvest begins.

Turn Unreturnable Bulk Bags into Potato Planters 7/14/2016 11:19:00 AM When I first started building my garden and raised beds, I ordered several bulk bags of garden loam and bark mulch.

I decided to recycle the bulk bags into flexible raised beds in which I could grow potatoes and carrots. What this gave me were three extra raised beds with very little effort. 'Taters Gone Wild: Troubleshooting Cold Weather and Potato Pests 6/7/2016 8:57:00 AM You may remember back in April when I found some of last year's potato crop dying to get out into the ground.
