Insurers put food on the table by preparing for disasters that most people would rather not think about: fires, hurricanes, earthquakes, car accidents, collapsing buildings. Now they're increasingly writing policies for another worry — cyberattacks.
One of the many changes brought by the Internet revolution is that stealing customer data or a company's proprietary information is easier than ever. One doesn't even need to be on the same continent anymore to commit the theft. And it can be weeks or even months before the damage is even detected.
In response, insurers are selling more cyberpolicies . Coverage may include loss or corruption of business data, lost business activity, legal defense costs, the cost of posting cash rewards to catch cybercriminals, crisis communications management, identity theft and defamation via social media.
While these hazards can be difficult to underwrite, insurers have had years to refine their products.
"It's probably the fastest-growing aspect of the insurance market right now," said Bob Parisi, leader of network security and private practice for insurance broker and risk adviser Marsh USA. "We've seen nothing to indicate that acceleration is going to wane any time soon."
In May, a federal grand jury indicted five Chinese officials for allegedly committing industrial espionage by hacking into the data systems of U.S. Steel (X), Alcoa (AA), Allegheny Technologies (ATI) and others.
A Chinese businessman was arrested last month for allegedly hacking into the computer systems of Boeing (BA), Lockheed Martin (LMT) and other companies that have large defense contracts with the U.S. government.
Recently cyberattacks moved into the top 10 list of global business risks, according to the Allianz Risk Barometer Survey, which polled more than 400 corporate insurance experts from 33 nations.
"It's more prevalent now than it was and harder to detect," said Murray Jennex, a management information systems professor at San Diego State University.
Yet challenges remain to raise awareness that cyberinsurance can be an effective tool to protect against the costs of repairing and defending against cyberattacks.
With $2 billion paid in cyberinsurance premiums in 2013, the specialty still makes up a small percentage of the $1 trillion total paid in U.S. insurance premiums last year, said Marsh Management Research, a division of Marsh USA.
Average coverage limits purchased by firms with more than $1 billion in revenue rose by 10% in 2013 to $28.2 million each, says Marsh. The estimated cost varies widely. A 2014 study sponsored by the software security firm McAfee estimated that cybercrime costs businesses worldwide $445 billion annually. An old Symantec (SYMC) study put that total at $114 billion — 13 years ago in 2001.
"Many businesses may not completely understand their vulnerability at this point," said Robert Hartwig, president and chief economist at the Insurance Information Institute.
Challenges remain for underwriters and clients to know how much to insure and why. For instance, what is the value of lost privacy?
"We're a century and a half ahead when it comes to mitigation and prevention of fires," Hartwig said. "We're in the first decade when thinking of how to prevent cyberattacks."
The costs of compromised computer security are very real.
The cybersecurity breach last December at Target (TGT), in which hackers obtained tens of millions of consumers' credit and debit card information, ultimately cost Chief Executive Officer Gregg Steinhafel his job.
The attack made some customers skittish, hurt sales and contributed to a 14% decline in Target's share price over two months. The Minneapolis-based big-box retailer was hit with more than 50 lawsuits, now being coordinated before a federal judge in Minnesota.
Michaels (MIK), eBay (EBAY), JPMorgan Chase (JPM) and St. Joseph Health System all have reported cyberattacks within the last 12 months.
The number of U.S. companies with cyberinsurance varies with the research. Nearly a third of U.S. companies have a cyberinsurance security policy, according to a 2013 report sponsored by Experian and conducted by the Ponemon Institute. Zurich Insurance Group reported last year that 52% of U.S. companies surveyed were covered, but a study sponsored by Willis Group Holdings (WSH) said that a mere 6% of Fortune 500 companies carry such protection.
Whatever the number of cyberattacks inflicted or cyberinsurance policies sold, insurers will try to protect clients and cash in on this wrinkle in the Internet revolution.
"While it's hard to underwrite," said Marsh USA's Parisi, "that hasn't been a deterrent to insurance companies rushing into this market space."

The blind quite literally lead the blind at the South Bank's new installation Dialogue in the Dark. Devised by German Andreas Heinecke as a training programme to examine issues of visual awareness, it's hoped that sighted people will come to understand something of the difficulties faced by Britain's one million blind and visually impaired people as they experience, at first-hand, life immersed in total darkness. Led only by the voice of a partially-sighted guide, visitors enter a sound-proofed arena where simulations of four everyday environments provide the setting for an extraordinary sensory journey. Deprived of sight, guests are forced to rely on their heightened sense of smell, taste, touch and hearing as they negotiate the various components of this non-visual world: a tranquil park complete with trickling fountain and fragrant herbs; a bustling street with textured paving underfoot; a sitting room where an unseen television drones from one corner and a smoke-filled bar where it might be possible, we'd imagine, to get blind drunk.
`BT Dialogue in the Dark', 4 May-18 June, outside the Royal Festival Hall, South Bank centre, SE1 (0171-928 8800)

The Evergreen Line has gone off track again with another huge delay.
The project's completion date has been pushed back from the Fall of 2016, to early 2017.
Minister responsible for Translink Peter Fassbender wouldn't say how much the delays will cost, only that its not coming out of their pockets.
"It's a defined contract and so I know that any overages are going to covered by the proponent."
The delays are from problems during tunnel boring, which is now complete, and from sink holes near Clarke Street.
Fassbender announced this morning that tunnel boring for the project is now complete.
Simi Sara decided to find out if it's normal for large projects like the Evergreen Line to have delays and cost overruns. She spoke with expert Robin Lindsey, who is the CN Chair in Transportation and International Logistics and Professor of Operations and Logistics Division at UBC.

The last year saw arguably one of the most important employment decisions in the last several years. In June 2011, the United States Supreme Court decided the Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. v. Dukes, 131 S. Ct. 2541, 2545, 180 L. Ed. 2d 374 (2011) case. In this case, a group of women sought certification as a class to file what would likely have been the largest employment class action suit in history for gender discrimination.
In a twenty-seven page opinion authored by Justice Antonin Scalia, the court decided that the women, approximately 1.5 million current and former employees of Wal-Mart, could not sue the employer as a class. Justice Scalia held that the inherent fact specific nature of gender discrimination claims caused the employees claims to lack the commonality required for certification under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23(a)(2). The Court also found that certification as a class action pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23(b)(2) was impermissible because the claims for back pay were not merely incidental to the claims for injunctive and/or declaratory relief.
Although the case was immediately lauded as a boon for employers and criticized as an example of judicial activism, it's too early to predict what impact the case will actually have on employment discrimination and class action cases. At least one federal court has already rejected Dukes' interpretation regarding the use of expert testimony in class action certifications, Fosmire v. Progressive Max Ins. Co., 80 Fed. R. Serv. 3d 1351 (W.D. Wash. 2011), and it remains to be seen whether state courts will interpret state class action rules in the same manner as the U.S. Supreme Court interpreted the federal rule. Here in Kentucky, the civil rules regarding class action formation are substantially similar to the federal rule, making it likely that Kentucky courts interpret the rule in line with the United States Supreme Court's. Regardless of the eventual impact of the decision, the fact remains that the Dukes case has the potential to change litigation of both individual gender discrimination claims and class action suits.
The Dukes case captured the attention of the legal community and we're carefully watching to see how the law in this area progresses. We'll continue to provide updates as the case law develops.

I'm delighted to announce that my Etsy Shop is now open for business - hooray! One of my most frequently asked questions is 'do you sell your jewellery?' the answer until today has always been a shameful 'no!'. Between working full time, writing my blog, running jewellery workshops, home renovations and being pregnant there never seemed to be a spare moment to sit down and get it off the ground. I have to admit since not returning to full time work to be a mama I've struggled with the idea of not working, I've had a job since I was fifteen so losing my financial independence has been hard to get my head around. I was thinking of work I could do around childcare and in a lightbulb moment, I finally thought 'it's time to start an Etsy shop!' and so it began...If you need a push to get your Etsy shop going in 2017 then you need to take part in the Etsy Resolution. Starting at the end of the month Etsy will be offering a four week online bootcamp offering you all the mentoring and skills to build your confidence and get your shop open. I think confidence is what holds so many of us creative types back but 2017 is the year to get going and stop worrying!
I found the most daunting part in starting was deciding what to sell, I have made so many projects over the years that pinpointing the right items to sell was tough. I looked at my most popular tutorials and then pulled the pieces that I have made for my friends and sisters, quite naturally a collection came together before my eyes. It needed some updating but I could see what I was working towards. I went supply shopping and pulled out my best jewels and then started to create.
Beginning with the materials, I pulled a moodboard together so there was a consistency with colour and styles. Using all the extra childcare available over Christmas I worked over three days to make necklaces, earrings and bracelets. Compared with writing tutorials it was brilliant to be able to work when and where I needed too. As I didn't have any reliance on daylight I could work at night once Stanley went to bed which gave me plenty of family time in the day. Once complete I laid the finished pieces out on a white board so I could see the collection coming together and fill in any gaps.
When it came to photographing the jewellery I had a definite 'this is what I should be doing moment'. The sun was shining, the window was open and I spent a day photographing everything that I had been making - it was such a good day. I used my flatlay board, some grey fabric and lots of flowers to create scenes. I had looked at lots of Etsy sellers to understand the range of shots I needed, so took a mix of wide and detailed. If photography is something that puts you off then my tip would be to shoot on a bright bright but not too sunny day, try lots of different angles to see what looks best and keep the background clear (no plug sockets or bits of paper). The less you have to edit the better.
I'm not the most technical person in the world nor the most patient so I was dreading the uploading photos. This turned out to be one of the most fun (and speedy) parts of the whole process, I loved seeing the listings grow and seeing my shop come together. The process of picking a shop name and adding products couldn't have been easier. I loved the copy feature which meant I could copy each listing and just change the images and some of the text. It took me about two hours to upload my 10 products but (I was checking my phone, getting snacks in-between!). I still have some tweaks and want to add a proper about section but I had to go and collect Stanley so ran out of time. I love that now the shop is open I can still make amends and keep improving and learning as I go.
I'm really excited about finally having a place to sell my jewellery and being able to turn my hobby into a business whilst being totally flexible to my life and childcare. I love being a mum but for me I need to feel like I'm working on something that is independent to the family to retain a sense of my own identity. If like me you are feeling a little lost - you might just be entering motherhood, having a career change or looking for an alternative from the 9 - 5 slog (been there!) then make sure you join the Etsy Resolution. For years I've been searching for a way to express myself creatively and I finally feel like I've found my path. I know that starting is the hardest but make 2017 is the year that you can, there's nothing stopping you so lets do this together and have fun! You can see my full collection here.

This introductory workshop from David Powers is designed to change that by teaching you PHP through a series of clear, focused, easy-to-follow lessons. After briefly explaining what PHP is and how it integrates with HTML, David introduces the features of the language. He covers variables, conditional statements, calculations, loops, and functions, as well as server-side includes and error handing, in a series of hands-on exercises. He then moves to a larger project that involves building a script to validate and email user input from an online form. By following along, you'll come to understand the value of creating reusable code, the importance of PHP security, and how to deal with multiple-choice form fields. Topics include: * Naming variables * Storing text as strings * Doing calculations with PHP * Using conditional statements to make decisions * Creating custom functions * Deciphering error messages * Emailing the contents of an online form * Dealing with multiple-choice form fields Code: [center] [b]Download From FileBoom[/b] http://xxxxxxxx.me/file/537a56aad305c/xidau123_LcIntroducingPHP.rar [b]Download From NitroFlare[/b] http://www.nitroflare.com/view/E05EC3AC96CA2E3/xidau123_LcIntroducingPHP.rar [b]Download From xxxxxxxx[/b] http://xxxxxxxx.net/file/9af9942673e82db82d0c58ababa2f907/xidau123_LcIntroducingPHP.rar.html [/center]

Can I get Tummy Tuck / Lipo w/ low pulse/ maybe bradycardia? (photos)
Doctor Answers 8
Bradycardia (low heart rate) and surgery
While many athletes have low heart rates, you certainly don't want to take a chance that you will have a severe complication.
It would be in your best interest to see a cardiologist prior to having any surgery. Lidocaine can have toxic effects on the heart muscle, so it is important to make sure your heart is normal and able to withstand the stresses of surgery.
Slow pulse candidate for liposuction?
A pulse of 44 does sound of concern to me and might possibly warrant either medication or a pacemaker depending upon risks and symptoms. Your cardiologist will be best capable of advising you on the options and your best choices. The use of adrenaline during tumescent liposuction may be protective and increase your heart rate, on the other hand it could also stimulate ectopic beats with such a slow pulse and endanger you. Make sure that you receive a full evaluation and advice from your cardiologist before considering an elective surgical procedure even under local. Good luck and best wishes.

Bradycardia and cosmetic surgery
A 'slow' resting pulse is frequently seen in very fit and healthy individuals and is not a reason to refer a patient to cardiology for a pre-op work up. Patients with symptoms of dizziness, light headedness and low blood pressure that are associated with low resting heart rate may not be good candidates for outpatient surgery of any type without proper work up and management.

Can I get Tummy Tuck / Lipo w/ low pulse/ maybe bradycardia?
It's difficult to say whether bradycardia is an issue for you. Only a cardiologist can determine whether you have a naturally slow heart rate that is normal, or if there is some other issue going on. Assuming that the cardiologist clears you completely then you should be able to undergo a surgical procedure.
Can I get Tummy Tuck / Lipo w/ low pulse/ maybe bradycardia?
Some people have a naturally low pulse, but 44 sounds far to low. You need to find out why it is so slow by consulting with a cardiologist before it can be determined whether surgery is safe.
Tummy Tuck - Need Medical Clearance
Thank you for your question. Prior to performing any elective surgical procedure you will need to have appropriate medical clearance, most likely from a cardiologist. This is for your safety. Please have a discussion with your board certified plastic surgeon regarding your medical history. Hope this helps and good luck.

Tummy tuck candidate
You will most likely need to visit a cardiologist and get clearance by him/her before proceeding with surgery. This is for your safety. Discuss your concerns with your surgeon as he/she needs to be aware of the situation.

Can I have a tummy tuck and liposuction if I have a slow heart rate?
Thank you for this important question. Each and every one of us board certified Plastic Surgeons on this website will agree that patient safety is absolutely paramount when it comes to elective cosmetic surgery. Beautiful results mean nothing if patients have complications.
That being said, you must absolutely have this heart rate issue evaluated by your primary care doctor and possibly a cardiologist. It may be completely benign and mean nothing, especially if you are very physically fit. However, if you might need a pacemaker, that must be addressed first before it is safe to perform a tummy tuck.
Make sure you and your potential Plastic Surgeon are comfortable with performing a tummy tuck under just twilight anesthesia. Yes, it is possible but I think most doctors (myself included) do this surgery under a general anesthetic. On the other hand, liposuction alone can easily be performed under local or twilight. Be sure to choose a board certified Plastic Surgeon for your care. Best of luck!

Fresh from its merger with Kendall Freeman, US firm Edwards Angell Palmer & Dodge has launched a European patent prosecution practice in London.
The firm has hired life sciences patent attorney Candi Soames from IP firm D Young & Co, along with a team of four paralegals specializing in biotechnology.
Solicitors and patent attorneys cannot be members of the same partnership for regulatory reasons and so Soames will be a partner in a separate UK LLP called EAPD Innovations LLP.
Laurence Harris, managing partner of Edwards Angell's London office said: "This underlines our commitment to the life sciences practice in Europe. We see very significant opportunities for a practice of lawyers and patent attorneys focusing together in the life sciences area in Europe, reflecting the existing US strength of the firm."
Soames will be based in the London office but Edwards Angell has set up a representative office in Southampton to support the patent practice, housing a handful of fee earners and back office staff.
In March the firm launched its London life sciences practice with Reed Smith Richards Butler IP partner Rajita Sharma.

Anyone still play Uncharted?
Hey, how's it going?
Well, throughout my time of playing Uncharted 3, about 85% of the time, I played solo. & I actually did enjoy playing this way. It was more of a challenge, I became a better player, etc. But, now I am actually interested in playing with people.
Problem is? Almost all of my good friends who once played Uncharted 3, (iBiZaTwist, GMRcris, Burstliment, Ind. Cajo, PatriotWarrior, & a few more I can name) have moved on to The Last of Us. I think the Last of us is cool & all, but I prefer Uncharted over it.
So basically, I'm just looking for a ton of people who still play Uncharted 3 actively, & would like to play with me sometime. I typically only play TDM & maybe free for all. Or 3TDM too. I know I'm pretty late in trying to meet new Uncharted friends, LOL. But I guess better late than never right?
Ok have a great day.
Hello to my friends MikeGloria & TheStuntDouble! You guys rock!
Re: Anyone still play Uncharted?
The only exceptions are XMB lag and SP. SP is always cool. I never ditch a good story. Ruins the flow.
Re: Anyone still play Uncharted?
Re: Anyone still play Uncharted?
Tons of people still play.
I've sorta ditched UC3 recently for TLOU though I want my Hunters MP trophy i'm week 10
but you can add me not sure if my PSN friend list is full but my PSN is: Wycliff_12
I'll be playing tomorrow sometime throughout the day.
Re: Anyone still play Uncharted?
I still play everyday, if you want to you can add me. I wouldn't mind running a few rounds.
Re: Anyone still play Uncharted?
I'm on Uncharted instead of TLOU mostly.
That said. I'm a lot more comfortable with objective based modes where I can do my thing of doing badly and contributing. My crappy ability to kill doesn't mean much there as long as I'm in the right places.
I stopped playing everything as much as I did so.. I lost skill.compared to those who are always learning.

Archaeologists working in the lower Galilee have discovered remnants of an elaborate synagogue from the Talmudic period at Khirbet Hukuk, where a Jewish city once stood.
The synagogue dates back to somewhere between the fourth and sixth centuries, during the late Roman or early Byzantine period. The site is located above the northwestern shore of the Sea of Galilee, near Kibbutz Hukuk.
The existence and location of the ancient synagogue were recorded by Rabbi Ishtori Haparchi in his Book of Bulb and Flower, the first Hebrew geography of the Land of Israel, written in the fourteenth century, and by archaeological surveys conducted in the area in the more recent past.
The surveys revealed decorative architectural elements, which were characteristic of the elaborate synagogues built in the Galilee during the period. The recent dig unearthed sections of the synagogue, including an ornate wall made of large hewn stones and a mosaic floor.
"The jewel in the crown of the discoveries this season is the colorful mosaic floor, which is of very high quality," explained Dr. David Amit of the Israel Antiquities Authority, one of the bodies supervising the dig.

Few players have experienced the recruiting ups and downs like tight end Jonathan Hannah. The 6-4, 265 pound prospect originally committed to Virginia Tech before making a signing day switch to South Carolina. After one season he decided to transfer to NC State but didn't have the required courses to immediately enroll in Raleigh.
Hannah has spent the past several months at Louisburg Junior College only to be set back by an ankle injury that held him out of play. To top it off, he then learned that the coach he planned to play for in college had been fired. Finally, there appears to be light at the end of the tunnel for the three-star player and Hannah recently told Pack Pride he's impressed with the hiring of Tom O'Brien and the veteran coach's winning resume.
"I don't know a whole lot about him," said Hannah. "But I know he has a great record and is the winningest coach ever at Boston College. I think he's going to bring exactly what State needs and wants to do. I've been doing some research and talking to coaches, and I know the tight end is a big part of the offense.
"I talked to coach Cignetti briefly last Wednesday, and he told me he thought coach O'Brien was going to be the guy and he was a good coach."
Hannah added that he's looking forward to meeting the new leader of the Pack.
"When I hear from the guys at State it would be great to be able to set up a time to go over and meet with him."
Hannah plans to enroll at State for the first session of summer school.
Rated a four-star prospect and the No. 5 tight end in the country coming out of Hope Mills (NC) South View, Hannah inked with South Carolina in 2005 over offers from NC State, North Carolina, Virginia Tech, Georgia, and Florida State among others.

Chapter SixMature
"You ok?" I said, turning to look at her over my shoulder as I opened the door and walked in. She just nodded, and I saw her eyebrows start to go higher, and her lips start to pull into her mouth. I wasn't sure if this was such a great idea after all. What was I supposed to do with some strange sobbing woman? I remembered that I didn't have anywhere for her to sit, and it felt like an even worse idea. I took in a deep breath of the frozen air as we walked into the apartment.
She was my first guest and I was suddenly a little self conscious about my housekeeping. I scooped up the cold soggy tea bags from the counter and threw them in the trash, and moved a few things around so I didn't look like a slob.
"Do you want some tea? Or hot chocolate maybe? I don't have a coffee maker." I grabbed two mugs before she could answer, refilled the pot that was on the stove, and started it to boil. She didn't say anything, and I looked behind me to see her standing in what I guess had been her living room, looking around the apartment like Dorothy when she came out of her little spinning cabin.
"I think I feel like some hot chocolate," I said, trying to break her from her daze. She stared at me as if she had forgotten where she was. "Sure," she said finally.
I attempted small talk, mostly to myself, while the water boiled. I asked her questions and got a nod here and there. Finally I had two cups of hot chocolate and I stirred at them violently trying to get the lumps out.
"I wish I had some of those tiny marshmallows. They're fun," I said, smiling awkwardly as I handed her the mug. It was from some rest stop in the Redwood Forrest, Paul Bunyan and his big blue Ox. I wished I would have noticed and given her the one with the Dalmatian instead. That would have seemed a little less awkward. My mom sent it to me because when I was little I loved Dalmatians. I tried to explain to her that, thanks to Disney, lots of little kids liked Dalmatians and that the phase was over, but she still kept sending me mugs and birthday cards with black spots.

It was a great night for the Logan High School soccer team which celebrated Wednesday night's Senior Night by blanking Lincoln County 1 to nil at Logan Stadium.
Logan improved to 6-10-1 on the season ahead of next week's Class AA/A sectionals. It was the second straight win for the Wildcats, which had blanked Tug Valley 4-0 earlier in the week.
"What a night for soccer," Logan coach Jay Trump said. "It was a defensive night on both teams. Both teams played very aggressive and physical. There was nothing to lose and the Wildcats put it all out there."
Senior players Austin Thompson and Kyle Fleming were honored on the soccer pitch before the match.
"For a couple of seniors it was going to be their last time that they will be playing on their home field as Wildcats," Coach Trump said. "For Austin Thompson and Kyle Fleming stepping their home field as the first time soccer team and those steps lead to a great and hard fought win, but it would be their last steps also on their home field. With both of them being seniors they both picked up the sport and wanted to learn and play it to the best of their skill levels would allow them. And from the first game vs. Nitro to their last season game vs. LCHS you could see a big improvement."
Trump said many of his players learned soccer on the fly.
"You have to remember we had players that never played the sport and they hung in there to the end and learned a lot of the respect from coaches, players and fans," Trump said. "These two seniors were a part of a pack that decided to play and become really good players. Great job to both of them for hanging in there and completing the season when at times was a very hard learning curve for them."
Trump said his team played well against the Panthers.
"Lincoln County brought a team that plays with high levels of energy and a very physical team," he said. "The Panthers and Wildcats fought all night long. Both teams played after every loose ball. There were several shots on goal on both ends but if the defense didn't pick the shot off the goalies were at their top of their games. Walter Macamara had several great saves for the Wildcats. It was one of those games where we talked and helped one another out. We have a great team and last night showed how good we can be. I've learned trying to get the kids to believe in themselves getting them to trust one another has been a learning curve for us and them."
Dino Noe scored the only goal for Logan.
"Dino Noe had a break away in the first half around the 30-yard marker on the field," Trump said. "He was able to pull away from a defender while getting his jersey held and was able to get a shot off and with power it hit the back of the net. It was a great shot and with the rotation of the ball it curved in flight making the goalie misjudge the ball. That was the only shot from both teams that was able to find its mark. It was a great night to be a Wildcat soccer player and soccer fan. The team played hard and came out with a win."
Logan is now scheduled to play at Poca on Monday at 7:30 p.m. in the first round of the Class AA/A sectional tournament.
Logan is the No. 6 seed.
LHS tied Poca 1-1 earlier in the season at home.
The Dots stand at 8-5-5 on the season after playing Lincoln County to a draw on Monday at Hamlin.

Vilnius Mayor: Tanks Will Roll On Our Streets Again
And he's serious. Sort of.
The Eastern European mayor who made himself an Internet video sensation by crushing a parked car with a tank says he's doubling down on the stunt from earlier this month. More armor is soon to hit the streets of Vilnius, Lithuania's capital city, as part of his comical but earnest campaign against illegal parking.
The bit has earned over 3 million hits on YouTube so far. "I'm impressed even myself!" Arturas Zuokas exclaims from across the table in a spacious 19th-floor office suite overlooking the ancient city. Now he's trying to capitalize on all the attention by letting the tanks roll once again. Zuokas says he's about to rent at least one more armed personnel carrier and station it near places notorious for illegal parking.
The point? Intimidation. And also a laugh. Zuokas' video got the residents of this town of 550,000 talking. It's more worldwide attention than Vilnius has gotten since -- well, possibly ever. Now Zuokas wants to increase pressure on illegal parking. Scofflaws earn a warning sticker on their first offense. Second offense brings a fine, and the fines are about to go way up.
The third offense? The tank, Zuokas says, will be moved around the city to remind drivers--particularly the wealthy--that it may be too terrible to imagine for this status-obsessed town.
"We hope it will not be needed to crush your car," Zuokas says with a laugh.
He's not going to crush your car. Zuokas is having fun playing the populist, but as far as Benz- and Beemer- bashing is concerned, that's about as far as it goes. Internet viewers worldwide hailed Zuokas for sticking it to the rich by flattening the rich guy's Mercedes in the video. In fact, Zuokas says, he bought the 12-year-old sedan himself and staged the stunt for about $4,000 USD. The army provided the armor via a local military museum. And the hapless "rich dude" seen in the video emerging, stunned, from a Benetton store on the city's swankiest shopping drag is a friend who, Zuokas says, was a decent visual archetype of luxury car drivers in Vilnius.
Staged as the video was, the message was clear. "I hate it when rich guys with very expensive cars, they park where they want," Zuokas says. "My idea was to show to them there exists limits. It doesn't mean if you have a big, expensive, car you have more space in the town."
"I want this guy"
Zuokas' media savvy stems, at least in part, from his former career as a television reporter and war correspondent. To many, the Benz-crushing was a symbol of working-class revenge. Bicycle enthusiasts saw it as a blow against car culture (the Mercedes sits parked in a bike lane when its destroyed.) Bike-lane supporters in cities like Washington, DC, and New York were particularly gleeful at the stunt.
Others saw it a symbol of effective government. "I want this guy to be mayor of my town!" one commenter wrote on YouTube. "Let's do it in London!" wrote another.
The former television reporter is, of course, now a politician. Zuokas is happy to let people see the video as they please. He admits to driving "good cars" himself and says he counts the city's wealthy luxury car drivers as his friends and political supporters. "They know me and I know them," he says, when pressed on whether he's going to crush any cars really owned by real rich guys.
But he's quick to turn the discussion of his media fame to transportation policy in this increasingly-congested city.
Vilnius is preparing to roll out city-wide bike sharing next year -- similar, Zuokas says, to fledgling programs in Washington and New York. It's the second try for bike sharing in Vilnius. The city deployed 1,000 orange-colored shared bikes a decade ago but had to abandon the program. "The citizens, they destroyed them or they stole them in two months," Zuokas says.
Vilnius also has a pilot program of electric scooters parked at charging stations in a few spots around the city center. There are 20 "e-bikes" deployed now, with 25 more soon to follow. The bikes look like souped-up, battery-powered Razor scooters once popular with kids. Over four days in Vilnius several people were seen gazing at the bikes at their stations but none was seen riding one.
Zuokas also says he wants to bring back a program that outfitted several city buses and electric "trolley buses" as homages to famous composers. A portrait of a composer would be on the outside, while his or her music plays over high-quality speakers on the inside. Zuokas says this time he's willing to be flexible about the lineup, since some bus drivers complained before a similar program was dropped by the previous administration in 2008.
"Some of them all day, they don't want to listen to Wagner," he says.
Parking and Populism
Zuokas says he's serious about transportation policy -- and indeed, kept talking about it long after an aide told him he was late for other appointments. He says the tank stunt brought a new focus to parking and other transportation issues that don't have much sex appeal on their own.
Not all the attention has been positive. Last week the Associated Press retracted a photo of the event released by Zuokas'' office because it had been digitally altered, one of the riders on top of the tank removed. Zuokas says the photo was an innocent mistake by a hired photographer who was unaware he was committing an ethical breach, but the city issued an apology.
The AP flap notwithstanding, it's perhaps no surprise that Zuokas is continuing his Internet-fueled tank gambit by deploying more armor on the city to nudge (if not crush) drivers into compliance with parking laws. The Lithuanian army is no longer interested in playing along, so the next heavy vehicles will be rented from private collectors, the mayor says.
It's a recipe for possible parking improvements and almost certainly for more media attention, both of which seem absolutely fine with Zuokas.
In the interview, New York's Michael Bloomberg and several lesser-known transportation technocrats rounded out a list of policy makers who've publicly cheered the video on. Earlier, Zuokas and an aide began the list in near unison: "Ashton Kutcher!"

The Ottawa Senators needed a late rally in Game 2 to tie up their Eastern Conference quarterfinal matchup with the Boston Bruins.
In Game 3, they had to stave off a furious charge by the Bruins to regain the series lead.
Bobby Ryan scored on a tip-in on a power play 5:43 into overtime, and Ottawa recovered after giving up a three-goal lead to beat Boston 4-3 Monday night and take a 2-1 edge in the first-round series.
Just over a minute after Bruins center Riley Nash received a two-minute penalty for roughing Ryan, Ryan got free in the zone, tapping the puck in on assists by Kyle Turris and Erik Karlsson. Mike Hoffman added two goals for Ottawa, with Derick Brassard...

Chapter 4: Snake on a hot tin... guy?Mature
They had walked long enough that the sun was past the highest point of the sky. Kara's eye battered open. Stretching a bit. "Good--now I can stop carrying you... you weigh.. odd" Click stated easing her off of his back.
Kara stands on the spot, getting her bearings and what not. Stretching and yawning more. "Does she do anything other than sleep?" Charles snorts roughly.
Kara turns kind of in her mid morning daze, "oh--what... huh... I heal stuff. Team Cleric, oath to protect life."
Click checks his armour plates and grumbles, "why--why do we never consider getting her a wheel barrow?"
Kara hugs into Click, "I dunno--resting on top of your armour is like the warmest rock I've ever been on."
Charles laughs a bit. Then just walks forward a few steps, "so--the Lamia is attached... I was not entirely certain."
Click frowns, "why... why does everybody keep saying that." Then jumps over to Lynn arm around her shoulder gripping her tightly, "everybody knows Click loves the really saucy elf women." Then quickly lets her go, to which she shoes him off barely noticing a world outside the book she was intently studying.
Kara stretches an' starts slithering a bit. "Sorry--just a bit of meal hasn't fully digested properly." Kara burps up what looks like a guards' shirt button. Click caught notice--and did realise that a fair amount of the guards were 100% dead... she did have that policy on not wasting dead creatures' bodies. Click just looked at the bag where Kara stuffed the button. Kara did not leave anything on the path--if she could help it.
Kara rolls her shoulders back, smiling, "do not worry--I should be fine to walk/guard what not tonight."
Click scanned around the area. Fujitsu was forcing himself awake--because he was very tired. Some other insanity mixed in there. Charles would likely also stay awake for the night. Karkid seemed to only sleep at nap time--Click could not figure out if Karkid actually needed that sleep or not.
Click looks over to Kara, hand behind his head, "hey, we are wanting to make some decent time. Perhaps if a few of the ones okay to travel at night carried a few of the ones that travel by day, sort of thing? Take shifts travelling."
Kara turns to Click, giving an odd smile, "yes."
Charles laughs, "ooh--that is.. snort!" then with his face turning a bit angry, "Wait--when did I get volunteered as a pack mule. I ain't no horse!"
Fujitsu out of nowhere seems to somehow jump onto Charles back--giving him a surprised face, "no! You are a doggy! Riding the doggy!" before jumping off Charles back.
Charles turns to give Fujitsu the look of death... but he appears to be chasing a squirrel in the bushes. Even though there were no squirrels for about five miles from here. Charles giving a tell tale sniff in the air. To check. For Squirrels.
Click turns, "I have a reason for my urgency. I intend to save the day--before it happens. I am the greatest hero... and it requires me getting to Laimson before something very grave happens."
Charles still having issues reading Click--despite a fair amount of fear scents were likely coming off him at all times, "right--and mister big shot, what in Xeronards' basement do we expect to see?" Aria stifled a laugh at the Xeronards slip.
Lynn still reading her book, "oh--Liamson looks like it was the major port of this empire. Which we have no information on that--we do know it clears out. By something. We do not know what."
Charles looks around, "it is not just Fujitsu is it? You are all not well in the head, aren't you? Well--sure... why not.. if I die at Liamson at least I will die how I lived."
Fujitsu looks up, "with that wet dog smell?"
Charles still in human mode, indignitely yells, "surrounded by morons!"--not having the energy to wolf out, screams and chases after Fujitsu who started treating it like it was some odd game.

Young one
I followed the bloodied foot prince and spotted a group of humans trying to carry a man away. I sighed then froze as I felt a blade point into the back of my neck.
"Don't try to get away" the human hissed. "This won't kill you straight away but it is poisoned"
I walk toward the group of humans. "We have a spy" The human behind me with the knife shouts.
"Kill it" a women shouts.
"Wait" A young girl forces herself to the front. She's probably 14 maybe older.
"Mia" I gasp.
"She knows your name" the women says shocked.
"Yes, she's the black haired one" she says pointing at me and looking at her fellow humans. "Remove the knife Traynor"
I feel the blade being removed and the man walks round to stand with his friends.
"Are you sure we can trust her?" Traynor whispers.
"Of coarse" Mia says smiling. "I never got your name"
"Katie" I say. "Katie Etelope"

She arrived early to find places for good photos and lightening. She was very calm and patient trying to coordinate 20 people for family photos. Everyone at the party was very complimentary of her overall presence and ease in working with her. I would highly recommend Kimberly to others and would ask her to photograph another event! She sent one photo to me as an early preview, which was a beautiful black and white shot with a tree as the background. I look forward to seeing the rest of her work!

Much Obliged-Jan. 19
■ Thank you from Mid-Minnesota Women's Center
The staff and board of the Women's Center would like to say thank you to all the caring and generous people, businesses, schools, churches and service organizations that made cash and gift donations to fill our Christmas wish lists. The amazing outpouring of support that we received from you all is so very much appreciated and we extend our gratitude to all of you.
This year we provided clothing, toys, household appliances and other gifts to women and children who received services from our organization. Without your generosity, we would not have been able to spread holiday cheer for these families in our community who escaped from violent homes this past year.
Thank you again for your continued support and acknowledgment of our goal to end violence against women and children. We hope 2014 is filled with peace, love and joy for you all.
The staff and board of directors of Mid-Minnesota Women's Center, Inc.
■ Thankful for community that meets needs of others
The staff and families at New Pathways, Inc. would like to extend a heartfelt thank you for the generous response from the community and local businesses to the article that ran in the Brainerd Dispatch about our single dads on Dec. 8, 2013. All of our families were sponsored and received gifts that made the Christmas season extra special. Our local site at 714 South Sixth St., Brainerd, also received donations of personal items that will help our families with basic needs both now and in the future. The two dads featured in the program went on to housing at the end of the year and are doing well. We currently have 14 people/four families in the program. We are so encouraged to live in a community that looks to meet the needs of those who are experiencing homelessness. If you would like information on the program or would like to make a tax-free donation, contact Kathy at 454-0460, ext. 3.

Supreme Court rules on 'straw purchaser' law
The Supreme Court says federal law does not allow a "straw" purchaser to buy a gun for someone else, even if both are legally eligible to own firearms.
The justices ruled Monday that the federal background check law applied to Bruce James Abramski, Jr. when he bought a Glock 19 handgun in Collinsville, Virginia, in 2009 and later transferred it to his uncle in Easton, Pennsylvania.
Federal officials brought charges against Abramski because he assured the Virginia dealer he was the actual buyer of the weapon, even though he had already agreed to buy the gun for his uncle.
The high court rejected Abramski's argument that since both he and his uncle were legally allowed to own guns, the law shouldn't have applied to him.

Bryony Gordon ITC honeymoon with baby
We were delighted to hear that the Telegraph's Bryony Gordon had a very enjoyable honeymoon in the Maldives – with baby – through ITC Luxury Travel…and on the same flight as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge!
Read all of Bryony's article here.
In the article Bryony describes how she was warned not to take her baby to the region for a holiday, but was delighted at how well-suited the resort was for those travelling with tots.
"Our daughter didn't get bored, which was a worry given that friends had warned us there would be nothing to do but sit and read," she writes.
"There was a beach cinema where she cackled at Despicable Me while eating tomato pasta, and she spent hours floating in our villa's pool with her armbands on. Though there was a team of childminders available to look after her while we went snorkelling, after a few days we just wanted to stay with her, watching her delighted face as she sampled this strange new world – a school of fish swimming next to her, or dolphins swimming past while on an early evening cruise."
Keen to head for a family break and/or honeymoon to the Maldives? We're currently offering a seven-night stay at Soneva Fushi for the price of five nights, plus complimentary half board. Prices start at £2,789 per person based on two adults sharing a Crusoe Villa for seven nights on a half-board basis, including return economy-class flight with British Airways from London Gatwick and transfers. This represents a saving of up to £1,525 per person. The offer is valid for travel completed between May 12 and July 31, 2014 or September 1 and October 19.

Now it appears that this lesson still hasn't soaked into the consciousness of some top officials. A serious flaw in a computer that guides the landing of Russia's spaceships — only the latest in a series of such flaws over the years — has been cavalierly dismissed as unimportant because it didn't result in any deaths.
Such a brushoff of legitimate warning signs should alarm anyone who has followed the investigation of the Columbia disaster — and particularly the new manager for the space shuttle program, William Parsons, whose selection was announced Friday by NASA.
Parsons, a former Marine and a NASA shuttle executive since 1990, is faced with the daunting task of fixing broken space-shuttle hardware and a broken space culture, a combination that led to the Feb. 1 Columbia disaster.
NASA had received repeated warnings about the potential for foam insulation to fall off the shuttle's external fuel tank, hit the fragile heat-protection tiles on the shuttle's belly and cause damage. Decision-makers, however, just wouldn't allow themselves to get worried enough about the shuttle's fragile heat protection system. NASA officials didn't like what had happened during the Columbia's launch, but given that it had survived so many previous incidents, they also didn't think it was dangerous enough to demand immediate fixing.
As a result, one more recurrence of the same old problem — perhaps combined with independent contributing factors — led to a mortal wound to the Columbia's heat shield during the launch on Jan. 16. When it tried to return to Earth 16 days later, the space shuttle disintegrated.
Now another malfunction has occurred during the first re-entry to Earth of a manned spacecraft since the Columbia catastrophe. The errant, scary May 4 landing by the Russian Soyuz TMA-1 spacecraft also should set off alarm bells. Instead, space officials put on a happy face about the fact that no one was hurt.
The guidance system of the Soyuz spacecraft, which was carrying a Russian and two Americans back from a five-month stint aboard the International Space Station, was confused. Instead of a shallow descent, the Soyuz dived steeply into the atmosphere. The craft and its occupants were subjected to more than eight times the force of the Earth's gravity. The heat shield had to endure higher temperatures, and the landing was almost 300 miles short of the target. It took rescue forces about two hours to find them and another two hours to reach them.
The errant landing happened on the first flight of a modified version of a spacecraft that has served the Russians well for decades. Russian engineers assured the U.S. space agency that the new computers, software and navigational equipment had been thoroughly checked. The crew was supposed to have been thoroughly trained in the new systems. But something still went wrong.
Officials did not express alarm at that shocking breakdown (as well as independent failures in the spacecraft's parachute system and radio communication systems). Nor did they indicate concern about what these failures might be trying to tell us about the condition of the spacecraft's sister ship, which now is linked to the space station. Instead, space officials seemed eager to minimize the significance of the breakdown.
"The main thing in our work is a happy ending," said Yuri Koptev, the head of the Russian Space Agency. Because it had happened before, noted William Gerstenmaier, NASA's space station manager, "I don't think we have any real immediate concerns with our crew on orbit."
"The mission was a complete success," said NASA's Moscow representative, astronaut James Newman. "Hey, they're alive."
One NASA spokesman defended the partnership with Russia and downplayed the significance of any malfunctions by bragging that the Soyuz "is among the most reliable spacecraft in the history of human spacecraft." That boast is seriously at odds with the historical record. In its percentage of fatal missions, the Soyuz is in fact the worst of the eight different designs of spacecraft people have launched and landed.
Such opinions have no business being uttered — or even conceived — by those responsible for safe spaceflight until there have been several weeks of intense analysis of the flight. Yet such comments are dismaying echoes of ones made by NASA officials during the doomed Columbia mission, when experts who had reviewed films of the foam insulation hitting the shuttle's wing during launch were not worried enough to examine the problem more closely.
Many disasters are preceded by clues. It's the job of space-safety officials to study these warning signs, not dismiss them.
The Soyuz, for instance, is rugged, and it's hard to imagine any guidance failure that could kill its crew. But the recent malfunction had precedents, and they were indeed life threatening. Fifteen years ago, the computer guidance system mistakenly almost jettisoned the Soyuz rocket section before the command module had safely steered into the atmosphere. Only quick manual action by a cosmonaut saved the crew's lives. Then in 1997, according to a new history book from the Russian factory that built the vehicle, a faulty computer guidance system lined the Soyuz spacecraft up backward in preparation for re-entry and landing, pointing its protective underbelly heat shield uselessly in the wrong direction. Cosmonaut intervention again was required.
This time, the Soyuz crew members, presumably still running on adrenaline after the exciting landing, can be forgiven for their own exuberant comments about the thrill of their "test flight" and its unexpected stresses. They deserve the right to elated exaggerations, but their top managers don't.
NASA officials knew plenty about the Columbia's problems before the Feb. 1 disaster, but appear to have failed to act cautiously enough. Now some people seem to have forgotten that already. They may well know better — and detailed investigations are indeed underway — but their words are disturbing. Instead of expressing relief after each flight, it's time space officials acted when they hear warning bells.
James Oberg, who spent 22 years at NASA Mission Control in Houston, is writing a book on the national-security uses of space.
