KANDAHAR, Afghanistan (AP) — A suicide bomber slammed a pickup truck packed with explosives into a checkpoint in a neighborhood housing U.N. and international aid group offices in the southern city of Kandahar on Monday, killing four people including the district police chief, Afghan officials said.
Immediately after the blast, three insurgents rushed into the neighborhood and seized control of at least one building, sparking a gunbattle with Afghan and NATO forces, Kandahar police chief Gen. Abdul Razzaq said. The firefight lasted more than two hours before the militants were shot dead.
The combined bombing and assault was the second major attack in three days to target foreigners or NATO troops in the country, and spotlighted the insurgents' ability to continue to carry out major attacks despite a 10-year NATO campaign against them. The U.S.-led coalition is gradually handing over security responsibilities to its Afghan counterparts and plans to withdraw its combat forces by the end of 2014.
"Despite the insurgency's failures this past year, it remains capable and, enabled by safe havens in Pakistan, continues to contest (Afghan and NATO) progress in some parts of the country," German Brig Gen. Carsten Jacobson, a coalition spokesman in Afghanistan told reporters in Kabul.
But Jacobson also said the coalition and its Afghan partners had made significant gains against the Taliban and that incidents such as the bombing in Kandahar were not indicative of the insurgents strengthening their reach.
"It is not to gain a military victory, it is to gain media" attention he said.
Immediately after the early morning blast, the gunmen seized control of an animal clinic near the office of the International Relief and Development organization, said provincial police spokesman Ghorzang, who like many Afghans goes by one name.
The blast caused extensive damage to the offices of the U.N.'s refugee agency, the UNHCR. Associated Press video footage showed large chunks of the building's outer walls blown out, as well as the windows while the interior was in shambles. The street around the building was strewn with rubble.
The insurgents then managed to enter the IRD's office through the UNHCR building, Ghorzang said.
The Taliban, for whom Kandahar is a traditional stronghold, claimed responsibility for the attack. Spokesman Qari Yousef said the insurgents were targeting what he claimed was a guest house affiliated with the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan.
The UNAMA does not operate a guest house in the area. However, the clinic and IRD offices entered by the attackers are near guest houses affiliated with both the IRD and the UNHCR. The area is also home to several other international NGO offices and guest houses.
Razzaq, the provincial police chief, said that three civilians and the district police chief, Abdul Aziz Khan, were killed and four people wounded.
UNAMA spokesman Dan McNortan said all of the agency's staff, both Afghan and foreign, was accounted for.
The attack comes two days after the Taliban launched a brazen midday suicide bombing in Kabul, striking a NATO convoy on Saturday and killing 17 people, including five NATO service members, one Canadian soldier and eight civilian contractors.
Associated Press writers Tarek El-Tablawy, Deb Riechmann and Amir Shah contributed.

European leaders may have cheered the surprise decision by Norway's Nobel committee to hand its 2012 Peace Prize to the 27-member European Union, but global sharemarkets will probably be far more sceptical.
After all, as the head of the European Commission, José Manuel Barroso, noted himself, the award was made "at the moment where the rating of Europe is not always good". In Tokyo last week, global leaders could scarcely disguise their exasperation at European leaders for failing to solve the region's ongoing debt crisis, which is threatening to engulf the global economy.
In its latest financial stability report, the International Monetary Fund pointed out that the region's economic malaise had spread from peripheral countries such as Greece and Spain and was now threatening the centre – and that even Germany was not immune.
It warned that fragile European banks could be forced to shrink their balance sheets by up to $US4.5 trillion next year – dealing another blow to the region's faltering economy – unless European leaders could quickly implement policies to stop capital fleeing the debt-laden peripheral economies. The IMF urged European policymakers to implement a common banking union with a central banking supervisor and to move towards greater fiscal integration.
But these two burning issues have been at the centre of growing European discord in recent weeks. Paris wants the European Central Bank to take on the role of supervising all euro zone banks as quickly as possible. But Berlin is wary of moving too rapidly, and is insisting that the new supervisory arrangements be sound. Besides, it only wants the ECB to supervise the region's large banks, leaving national regulators with the task of regulating the smaller banks.
The question of timing is critical, because the euro zone's bailout fund will only be able to directly recapitalise banks – thus breaking the links between banks and sovereigns – when the ECB has taken on the role as central banking supervisor.
Hopes that the ECB can take over the supervision of euro zone banks as early as the beginning of next year look set to be dashed, judging by comments from ECB boss Mario Draghi at the weekend. "We think that by January 2014 the new framework will be in place and operational," he told a press conference in Tokyo.
Meanwhile, European leaders are expected to squabble over the contentious issue of greater fiscal integration – in particular, whether the euro zone should have its own budget – at this week's summit in Brussels.
The issue is an extremely sensitive one for both Berlin and Paris. German Chancellor
On Friday, European Union President Herman Van Rompuy tried to break this impasse by releasing a report which argued that the 17-member euro zone – as opposed to the full 27-member EU which includes countries such as the United Kingdom – should take a step towards greater fiscal integration by setting up a central "budgetary capacity" as the precursor to an eventual euro zone "treasury".
But once again, Paris and Berlin have fundamentally different conceptions about this new budget – which is expected to be about €30 billion ($40 billion) a year. Paris wants to spend the money in countries that have suffered from economic shocks to help stabilise their economies. In contrast, Berlin wants to use the funds to provide financial help for euro zone countries that agree to implement reforms and boost their competitiveness.
Paris and Berlin aren't the only fractious EU members. Although British Prime Minister
Similarly, although the UK has voiced strong support for a central banking supervisor for euro zone banks, it is refusing to grant the ECB the power to supervise its own banks.

ATLANTA (Feb. 7, 2012) – Bounce TV (http://www.bouncetv.com), the nation's first and only over-the-air broadcast television network for African-American audiences, has acquired the television rights to more African American-skewing motion pictures in two individual, multi-year licensing agreements with Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution and Paramount Home Media Distribution.
Among the titles Bounce TV lands in their agreement with Warner Bros Domestic Television Distribution: The Academy Award® winning Bird, directed by Clint Eastwood; the original Shaft (1971); Richard Pryor starring in Greased Lightning and The Mack with Max Julien; Bill Cosby & Sidney Poitier in Let's Do It Again and 1997's Rosewood.
Bounce TV's agreement with Paramount includes such titles as Critical Condition starring Pryor; Diana Ross in Mahogany as well as her classic 1972 performance as Jazz great Billie Holiday in Lady Sings The Blues; two Eddie Murphy comedies Best Defense and Vampire In Brooklyn, and Denzel Washington starring in the 1990 comedy Heart Condition.
Some of the newly-licensed titles will be seen within the network's new "Brown Sugar Saturday Night" weekly primetime franchise. "Brown Sugar Saturday Night" showcases urban cinema with a '70s bent, featuring some of the most popular African American movies of all time.
Bounce TV targets African Americans primarily between the ages of 25-54 with a programming mix of theatrical motion pictures, live sporting events, documentaries, specials, inspirational faith-based programs, off-net series, original programming and more. Bounce TV airs twenty four hours a day, seven days a week on the digital signals of local television stations. Bounce TV is majority African American-owned. Toyota USA is the signature sponsor of the network.
New York and Los Angeles (FOX Television Station Group) and Washington, D.C. (Gannett Broadcasting) recently became as the newest Bounce TV affiliates. Bounce TV is available in Chicago, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Houston, Cleveland/Akron, Milwaukee, Charlotte, and Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Hartford/New Haven, Augusta, GA /Aiken SC and other markets. The pioneering network has distribution agreements with major station groups as FOX, Gannett, Raycom Media, LIN TV Corp., Nexstar Communications, Belo Corp. and Meredith Broadcasting.

Does anyone watch this network? Has anyone seen any ads for it? All it seems to do is recycle old movies and TV shows.
Isn't it weird that the major networks actually had successful black-starring comedies in the 70s, 80s, and 90s but absolutely none today? Sanford & Son, What's Happening?, the Jeffersons, the Cosby Show, A Different World, Family Matters and now nothing.
The future doesn't always mean that things get better or stay as good. Sometimes, things get much worse.
If this network isn't going to have original programming, it's pretty much pointless. They probably don't have the money to double down on original programming.
Let me get this straight, Whistlestop.
Bounce TV is "pointless" because they don't have original programming (at this time), but Antenna TV, RTV, THIS TV, and Me-TV aren't?
And don't you DARE say there's a difference. All of these channels are primarily powered by library programming and film libraries. Antenna TV is doing quite well, even beating some broadcast networks in some markets. ION's lineup is mostly off-net reruns as well with the occasional Canadian import, reruns that are new to us.
So, are you asking because you want to really see original fare, or are you asking because Bounce is catered primarily for a Black audience and you're pointing them out because of that?
Van, you're right. And next season it doesn't look like there will be any African American starring comedies… unless CBS picks up the Martin Lawrence pilot… SAD.
So did they actually get to licence the GOOD Eddy Murphy films such as the 48 hours and Beverly Hills Cop films?
well, if we support this majority black-owned network, then they would be able to support more black-oriented movies in the future, but one,sometimes, must start small. Be patient.
Bounce is going to be that next big thing and I totally support it. Its kind of remincent of BET's earlier days. I agree that it does need some original programing though because the Soul Train thing does get old after while, but this station is so much diffetent. It's black folks around the clock 24/7, with no annoying bs infomercials pushing overpriced junk that doesn't work. Infact, I love Bounce so much that I'm currently working on a tv ad for them. I'll solicit it to them and see where it goes…Bounce TV, salute!
Bounce has only been around a few months but doing a great job so far! So nice to have a free over the air network such as this. I love watching the movies I have not seen in a long time and movies I've never seen and enjoying Soul Train. I am hoping they do not add sitcoms period!
I love Bounce TV. I watch Soul Train everyday…in fact am watching Soul Train as am writing this. I also love the movies you show. Keep up the good work Bounce TV!
Hey. I'm a non-Black who watches Bounce quite regularly. The diginet doesn't need new original programming to make it successful. You'll see Bounce add a few off-net series now and then. IMO, the early days of BET were not that great. Again IMO, BET failed to be a Black showcase of programming.
I live in New York City and want to know when Channel 9.3 will have Bounce TV Programming on the air for me to see, they are moving like honey ! (SLOW)
Hold on everybody. Are you aware that when most Cable TV Networks launched (or launch) they start out with reruns? Furthermore, ever heard of Nick@Night? If I recall, they are an exceptionally successful network which ONLY airs re-runs….which people love. But what do I know…I've only worked in Cable for 25+ years at many of these same networks. This has absolutely nothing to do with race. There's no reason why they can't make it. Good luck, Bounce TV. Kudos.
My point exactly, thank you!
bounce tv is in nashville but weak go to fox or one of the other channels

Although on some days I feel as though I'm running a zoo, this post isn't about metaphorical zoos with legions of cats to herd.
Rather, it is about the real thing.
One of the many fortunate circumstances that go with being dean is that I get to serve with a wonderful group of people on the Board of the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle, which by the way has a new logo that I think is very cool...how many images can you conjur up from this graphic?
From them I have learned to appreciate the critical place of zoos as oases in urban environments where people can have some of the wonder of rounding a bend in the path and sighting a rarely seen animal, or hearing -- off in the distance -- a sound that begs for further exploration. Aside from the "cool" factor of seeing animals from other continents that marked my experience with zoos as a kid, I never really considered how critical zoos are for connecting people with animals and their conservation as we increasingly urbanize our populations around the world.
I am fortunate to have spent the bulk of my life in rural or near-rural settings with easy access to vast expanses of undeveloped, or at least under-developed, lands...to nature, as it were. Thus, rounding the bend to espy a bear or moose or elk or deer or coyote or fox, or whatever, has been a rather routine experience for me. Similarly, being in a place where the quiet stands out for being so silent, only to be broken now and again with cries of birds, insects, or other animals is not uncommon for me. But now with my experience on the board, when I am wandering the grounds of the zoo I am struck about how essential that place must be for the many who aren't able to experience the world in the way I am when I am out fishing...or just out.
I am prompted to say these things by this essay from the NY Times, which appeared over the weekend. Those who run the real zoos have made huge strides in how animal behavior and welfare are enhanced by modern exhibits, husbandry, and veterinary care. Even so, there are those who question whether zoos should exist at all. However, as I experience the zoo with newfound appreciation, and when I consider arguments such as those advanced by this essay, I cannot imagine a world where these magnificent artifices did not exist to connect urban and suburban dwellers to animals and their conservation.

Ferguson Police Allege Michael Brown Robbed Store Before He Was Fatally Shot (Video)
Officer Darren Wilson was named as the officer who fatally shot Michael Brown in Ferguson, MO leading to a week of violence and protests. Up until Friday, the local police had not released any information about the shooting, or the officer involved and what led to it.
While the circumstances around the shooting are still being debated, the police did offer some insight into what led to the fatal confrontation.
Officer Wilson was responding to a 911 call about a strong-arm robbery at a nearby convenience store. Police released surveillance footage from the store, which appears to show Michael Brown and another man, Dorian Johnson, taking a box of cigars and threatening the store clerk before leaving.

The city of Beijing has proposed rules that will shut factories and take cars off the road when smog reaches dangerous levels, as officials step up efforts to address pollution that has reached record levels this month.
Under the new rules, drivers face a 3000 yuan ($454) fine if their vehicles exceed emissions limits, while the construction of new cement and steel plants will be outlawed. A draft was posted on the government website on January 19 and the public will have until February 8 to comment.
The stricter anti-smog efforts appeared a week after pollution levels in the city hit a level that was almost 40 times recommended World Health Organisation limits. State-run media expressed scepticism that the new rules would have much effect, underscoring the challenges the government faces in tackling pollution.
"New regulations intended to kick in when pollution in Beijing reaches extreme levels will likely be as ineffective as the previous law," the Global Times said on Monday, citing environmental experts in the city.
Official measurements of PM2.5 – fine, airborne particulates that pose the greatest health risks – rose as high as 993 micrograms per cubic metre on January 12, a record high, according to the Institute of Public and Environmental Affairs. The WHO recommends 24 hour exposure to PM2.5 levels no higher than 25.
After pollution levels fell during the week, smog rose again over the weekend and children and the elderly were advised to stay indoors as the air became "heavily polluted," according to the Beijing Municipal Environmental Monitoring Centre.
Air quality in Beijing improved on Sunday after snowfall slowed the accumulation of pollutants, and will remain "relatively good" for the next couple of days, the city's monitoring centre said on its official Weibo microblog on Sina.com.
PM2.5 levels hit 155 at 9am near Tiananmen Square, according to government readings. The US Embassy's pollution monitor said PM2.5 levels were 198, or "unhealthy".
The draft regulation proposed that construction sites and transport operators should take measures to control the release of particulates.
Long-term exposure to fine particulates raises the risk of cardiovascular and respiratory diseases as well as lung cancer, according to the WHO. The official English-language China Daily newspaper said on January 14 that Beijing was becoming better known for "Beijing cough" than it was for Peking duck or Peking opera.
China, which the World Bank estimates has 16 of the world's 20 most-polluted cities, is the largest emitter of greenhouse gases. The burning of coal is the main source of pollution, accounting for 19 per cent, while vehicle emissions contribute 6 per cent, according to a study by Greenpeace and Peking University's School of Public Health published on December 18.

text: WASHINGTON (AP) Americans borrowed more freely in March as an improved job climate and stronger economy made them more willing to take on debt.The Federal Reserve reported Friday that consumer credit increased at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 3.4 percent in March, or by $5.71 billion, from the previous month.That pushed total consumer credit outstanding to a record $2.02 trillion in March.The increase in borrowing in March marked a big pickup from February, when consumer credit nudged up at a 0.5 percent rate, or by just $883 million, the smallest increase since November, according to revised figures.The Feds report includes credit card debt and loans for such things as boats, cars and mobile homes. It does not, however, include real-estate loans, such as home mortgages or popular home-equity loans.Demand for revolving credit, such as credit cards, rose at a brisk 4.1 percent rate, or $2.58 billion, in March. That compared with a 0.4 percent growth rate in February, or an increase of $226.6 million.For nonrevolving credit, which includes loans for cars, vacations and education, demand went up at a 3 percent pace in March, an increase of $3.13 billion. That was up from a 0.6 percent rate of increase seen in February, or a rise of $656.6 million.Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan said that, in general, American households, which have taken on heavy debt loads, are in a good position to take care of their obligations. Short of a period of overall economic weakness, households with the exception of some highly leveraged ... borrowers, do not appear to be faced with significant financial strain, the Fed chief said in a speech on Thursday.Separately, the Fed, in a survey of senior loan officers at banks, said that U.S. banks are reporting stronger demand for business loans. That can be viewed as another sign that companies are feeling better about the economys staying power, economists say.In another encouraging sign, banks also reported loosening lending standards for some business loans.Over 20 percent of domestic banks, on net, indicated that they had eased standards for large- and middle-market firms, the largest share doing so since the beginning of the 1990s, the Fed said.

|Re: Replication Chatter / Recovery
|Thu, 24 Jun 2010 15:43:49 GMT
Hey Cory, Sounds like a really interesting project. This is the kind of creative use case couch should be well suited to. Replication makes frequent checkpoints, so there should be little in the way of duplicate data transfer. As far as overhead, there are only fixed sources, which should be close to linear in the number of documents, not bytes. The exact overhead depends on whether a push or pull replication is used. A proxy on each end that (de)compresses the http bodies should be simple. I don't think couch supports this itself for replication yet, but it's a reasonable request if you would like to file a ticket for it. If you'd like to get couch set up, I'm sure folks on this list would be happy to help you capture and measure the replication overhead if no one has already. Regards, Randall On Jun 24, 2010 9:05 AM, "Cory Zue" <email@example.com> wrote: Hi there, My team is designing a distributed health data capture system to be used in rural Africa, and we are planning to use CouchDB as a back end for it's excellent replication features. One concern I had was how the replication would perform over a very unreliable internet connection. Is replication done in pieces or does it require large amounts of data to make it through at a single time? If the connection goes down in the middle of replication is the result that you have to start over from the beginning or is it smart enough to recover what has already made it across the wire? Also, are there any numbers I can get on how chatty replication is? Our system will likely be deployed with post-paid SIM cards and GSM modems providing the internet connection in many sites, so I would like to be able to get a rough estimate of data usage. Is there any formula I could use, such as "syncing X bytes of data in couch causes K * X bytes to go over the wire (where K i some overhead amount)". Seeing how JSON probably compresses quite well, is there any way to do compressed synchronization? thanks in advance, Cory

One of the fundamental lessons of the Sept. 11, 2001 tragedy was that our government carried a share of blame for the failure to stop the attacks. Not because it was asleep at the switch or ignorant of the dangers that Al Qaeda posed, but because the agencies charged with our safety did not share what they knew, either up and down the chain of command or with each other. The attacks were preventable with shared information.

NEW YORK (Dec. 6)
There are now 268 Orthodox-oriented Jewish day schools functioning in the United States, Samuel C. Feuerstein of Malden, Mass., president of Torah Umesorah, a society for such schools, reported tonight at the organization's annual dinner. Twenty-two new Hebrew day schools, including 14 primary grade schools, were opened in September for the current academic year, he said.
Dr. Joseph Kaminetsky, national director of Torah Umesorah, reported that every city in the United States with a Jewish community of at least 10,000–with three exceptions–now has a Jewish day school. He listed the exceptions as Kansas City, Dallas and St. Paul, noting that the latter's twin city, Minneapolis, does have such a school. He also reported that there were now 15 communities in the United States with Jewish populations of 1,000 to 5,000 which also have Jewish day schools.

The Nuclear Security Summits
The nuclear security summit initiative began with an April 2009 call by U.S. President Barack Obama to hold a global summit on nuclear security in 2010 as part of an effort to "secure all vulnerable nuclear material around the world within four years." The broad goal of the summit process is to address the threat of nuclear terrorism by minimizing and securing weapons-usable nuclear materials, enhancing international cooperation to prevent the illicit acquisition of nuclear material by non-state actors such as terrorist groups and smugglers, and taking steps to strengthen the global nuclear security system.
The summit process will end in 2016 at a fourth summit in Washington, DC March 31-April 1. The three previous summits were held in Washington D.C. in 2010, Seoul, South Korea in 2012, and The Hague, Netherlands in 2014.
Each summit has produced a consensus communique that reaffirmed the broad goals of the summits and encouraged states to take actions, such as ratifying key treaties or minimizing stockpiles of weapons-usable materials. These voluntary, caveated recommendations were enhanced by individual state-specific commitments make at each summit. These pledges, known as house gifts, included actions such as repatriating weapons-usable materials, holding trainings for nuclear security personnel, updating national laws and regulations, and taking steps to combat illicit trafficking. At each subsequent summit, states reported on the progress made toward fulfilling these commitments. All 53 participating states made national pledges at at least one summit.
At the 2012 summit in Seoul, groups of countries offered multinational commitments that targeted key areas of nuclear security. These joint statements, known as "gift baskets," are responsible for some of the most innovative and forward-leaning outcomes of the summit process. In 2012, 13 joint statements were offered. That number increased to 14 in 2014, with some gift baskets building off of 2012 statements and others targeting new areas. of the 53 countries, 48 participated in at least one joint statement. Additional national and multinational commitments are expected at the 2016 summit.
Leaders are also expected at the 2016 summit to approve approve five action plans for international organizations and initiatives to continue the work of the nuclear security summits. The five groups are the UN, the International Atomic Energy Agency, Interpol, the Global Partnership Against the Spread of Weapons of Mass Destruction, and the Global Initiative to Combat Nuclear Terrorism.
The Arms Control Association, along with the Partnership for Global Security, have published six reports that tracked progress made on national commitments and joint statements since the summit progress began. For more information on the outcome of each summit see:

Washington 2010
The first Nuclear Security Summit was held in Washington, D.C., April 12-13, 2010. Forty-seven national delegations as well as the heads of the United Nations, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the European Union attended. With 38 of the 47 participating countries represented at the head of state or head of government level, the gathering was the largest of its kind hosted by a U.S. President since 1945.
In order to build upon these efforts, the summit concluded with a communiqué embracing the goal of securing the world's vulnerable weapons-useable nuclear material within four years, and a work plan, which identified existing international agreements and resources that are available to countries as they work to secure or eliminate their civilian stockpiles of this material.
Countries were also encouraged to make individual commitments to strengthen nuclear material security domestically. These actions, referred to as 'house gifts' were announced at the 2010 summit. The pledges included commitments to ratify relevant nuclear security treaties, minimize and dispose of stockpiles of HEU and plutonium, enhance physial security of materials, and conduct trainings and workshops.
The Washington Communiqué
The Washington Work Plan
The Work Plan lays out the specific steps for realizing the goals of the Communiqué, including ratification and implementation of international treaties; support for Security Council Resolution 1540; conversion of civilian facilities from HEU to non-weapons-useable materials; research on new nuclear fuels; detection methods and forensic technologies; development of corporate and institutional cultures that prioritize nuclear security; education and training; and joint exercises among law enforcement and customs officials to enhance nuclear detection opportunities.
Washington Summit Country Commitments
In addition to signing the Communiqué and Work Plan, thirty countries announced 67 specific measures they planned to implement to support the goals of the summit. Prior to the Seoul summit, approximately 80 percent of these commitments were completed. Some of the key national commitments include:
Canada: Returning a large amount of spent highly enriched uranium fuel from their medical isotope production reactor to the United States; championing the extension of the G8 Global Partnership Against the Spread of Weapons and Materials of Mass Destruction; funding highly enriched uranium removals from Mexico and Vietnam; hosting and funding a World Institute of Nuclear Security best practices workshop in Ottawa; unveiling $100 million in new bilateral security cooperation with Russia
Chile: Removed all highly enriched uranium (18kgs) in March 2010
Kazakhstan: Converting a highly enriched uranium research reactor and eliminating remaining highly enriched uranium; cooperative work on BN-350 rector shutdown and fuel security; hosting a Global Initiative Activity in June; considering a International Nuclear Security Training Center.
Mexico: Converting a highly enriched uranium research reactor and eliminating remaining highly enriched uranium working through IAEA
Republic of Korea: Hosting 2012 Nuclear Security Summit; hosting a Global Initiative activity
Russia: Signing Plutonium Disposition protocol; ending plutonium production; contributing to International Atomic Energy Agency's Nuclear Security Fund
Ukraine: Removing all highly enriched uranium by next Summit—half of it by year's end
Vietnam: Converting a highly enriched uranium research reactor; joining the Global Initiative to Combat Nuclear Terrorism

Seoul 2012
In 2012, 53 heads of state and government along with representatives from the United Nations (UN), International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), European Union (EU) and INTERPOL gathered for the second nuclear security summit in Seoul, South Korea. Participating countries included the 47 countries that attended the 2010 Nuclear Security Summit plus Azerbaijan, Denmark, Gabon, Hungary, Lithuania, and Romania. The meeting, held on March 26-27, sought to reaffirm commitments made during the 2010 Nuclear Security Summit as well as outline future goals with respect to international agreements on nuclear security, radiological material security, and nuclear safety.
One of the primary objectives of the Seoul summit was to assess the progress that countries made toward the goal of securing all nuclear material world-wide since 2010. A report released in March 2012 by the Arms Control Association and the Partnership for Global Security found that approximately 90 percent of the national commitments pledged at the 2010 summit were completed in the run up to Seoul.
While the 2012 summit remained focused on nuclear security, the scope of the agenda was expanded to include discussions on the security of radiological sources and sensitive information and the interface between nuclear security and safety. The nuclear security-safety nexus was raised in particular following the March 2011 nuclear disaster in Fukushima, Japan. The summit produced a consensus communiqué that largely reiterated the goals and commitments from 2010.

The Hague 2014
On March 24-25, 53 countries and representatives from four international organizations met for the third nuclear security summit in The Hague, Netherlands. The same 53 countries comprised the list of participants for the Seoul summit in 2012. The Netherlands laid out several goals for the summit, including; reducing stockpiles of nuclear materials, improving the security of nuclear and radioactive sources, increasing coordination with the nuclear industry, and improving international cooperation.
Similar to the past two summits, The Hague summit produced a consensus communique, new national commitments, and new multilateral commitments, known as "gift baskets" or joint statements.
Leaders also participated in a scenario-based policy exercise, during which they had the opportunity to think through responses to a radioactive device, and held a discussion on the future of the summit process. A fourth summit will be held in the United States in 2016, but it is unclear if that will be the final summit.
Ahead of the summit, nongovernmental organizations held an experts meeting in Amsterdam, as did the nuclear industry.
The Hague Summit Outcomes
Key National Commitments and Accomplishments
Japan, Italy, and Belgium made commitments to remove excess highly-enriched uranium and plutonium.
The United States, South Korea, and the Netherlands led a joint statement supported by 32 additional states that committed participants to meet the intent of IAEA recommendations for nuclear security and take further steps to provide assurance of sound nuclear security practices.
The Netherlands headed a new gift basket on nuclear forensics, including a platform for sharing best practices in the event of a nuclear or radiological incident.
Belgium, Canada, and France completed steps necessary to ratify the 2005 amendment to the Conventional on the Physical Protection of Nuclear Materials
Washington, DC 2016
The fourth and final summit will take place in Washington, DC March 31-April 1. Of the 53 states and four international organizations that attended the 2014 summit, all will attend except Russia.
A primary goal of the 2016 summit is to approve five action plans for international organizations and initiatives that will continue the work of the summit process. The five groups are the UN, the International Atomic Energy Agency, Interpol, the Global Partnership Against the Spread of Weapons of Mass Destruction, and the Global Initiative to Combat Nuclear Terrorism.
National commitments and gift baskets are also expected. A gift basket on sustainability, that would commit officials from participating countries to meet yearly to review nuclear security progress, is reported to be under consideration.

Keeping busy is the lot of the freelance and for director for hire Martyn Knight this can mean juggling several projects at once. Right now, he is tinkering with no less than seven productions.
An award-winning director, actor and choreographer, Martyn gives his time and attention to each task in turn – he last whipped up a cracking Oliver! at The Watersmeet for Harrow Light Opera – but when it comes to his heart, no company is closer than the one where he started out, Cassio Operatic.
Martyn is now directing Cassio's latest show A Chorus Line at Watford Palace Theatre. "I owe so much to Cassio. This is a way of handing something back," says Martyn. "My family moved to Watford in 1968 and my mum joined Cassio and I was brought up with it. I used to watch her on the stage and later I joined. My training came from there."
Camelot was the last show Martyn directed for the amateur group in 2002 and it was also the first show he ever performed with them. Martyn went on to become a professional actor in 1977. In 1990 he went back to Cassio to help out on a production of Iolanthe and he's been helping out on and off ever since.
He would be nothing, he says, without the help of some close associates.
"For A Chorus Line my dance captain is Rob Jarman and my assistant director is Nikki Scott. Her mother, Sidonie Scott was director of Cassio when I was a teenager. One day she said to me 'do you dance?' and I said 'I don't really know' and she replied 'well, you do now'."
Martyn says he needs all the help he can get with so many shows on the horizon.
"I've got four shows on in three weeks," he points out. "I'm directing Beauty and Beast in Portsmouth and I'm in Weymouth for another Oliver!. Then I'm off to Newcastle for two weeks, then York and St Ives with different shows but with every production there are different sets, costumes and actors which is lovely as you can never get bored."
In between directing jobs, Martyn treads the boards as the Dame. He graced the pantomime stage at Potters Bar for six years and has been the resident Dame at Eastbourne for the past nine years.
"A Chorus Line is the show that started it all," he concludes. "After I saw it I knew it was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life."
The show is at Watford Palace Theatre from November 13-17 at 7.45pm with a Saturday matinee at 2.30pm. Details: 01923 225671

You have seen it in war films; soldiers with painted faces, branches attached to their helmets, tanks similarly bedecked with branches, and uniforms with undulating designs in tones of brown and green. In recent times the soldiers that we have watched so often on television have been wearing beige uniforms rather than these brown and green ones, because this time they have been fighting not in forested mountainous regions but in desert. This method of concealment used by armies is actually nothing but imitation of a technique used by animals in their struggle for survival. Underwater creatures use many defence mechanisms. Some rely on speed and agility to escape their predators. Others which move slowly have armoured shells. Some have a strange menacing appearance that scares off enemies, and others poisonous quills. Camouflage is another effective defence weapon, making the creature almost invisible or confusing predators. At the same time it allows the creature to hunt without alerting its own prey to its presence.
Combined with the ability of many animals to remain motionless for a long time, camouflage is a strategy that serves well in both defence and attack. Big fish eat little fish... if they can see them. Among the most astonishing of Mediterranean fish is the broad-nosed pipefish (Syngnathus typhle), which looks more like a reptile, with its long body and head, and pipe-shaped mouth. The pipefish changes colour to blend in with the background. It lives in rocky places amongst seaweed and sea grass, where it is virtually invisible. Since it is a slow mover and cannot escape its enemies once spotted, it lies motionless in the sea grass until the danger has passed. Its skin takes on the green colour and pattern of the sea grass, and it lifts its head and remains as still as a statue. The same technique makes the pipefish a dangerous hunter. Lacking the speed of movement to chase its prey, it lies in wait until unsuspecting smaller fish come within reach.
The greatest masters of camouflage in the Mediterranean are the members of the Scorpaenidae family of fish, particularly scorpion fish and rockfish. Rockfish mainly live on the seabed amongst rocks where sunlight does not penetrate, and are very difficult to detect. The small types are more poisonous than their larger relatives. They lie motionless on the bottom for most of the time, waiting for prey to approach, and change colour to become almost invisible. Fish are the first creatures which come to mind when we think of the sea, but there are many other kinds of marine animals which make use of camouflage. The octopus is one of the most cunning sea creatures, and an expert at camouflage. It uses three different camouflage techniques: colour, pattern and mimicry. The pigment cells known as chromatophores in the octopus' skin takes on both the colour and pattern of the background. The skin colour also reflects the octop'sun emotional state at any moment, turning white when it is afraid and red when it is angry.

Color Glossary
Absorb/Absorption: Dissipation of the energy of electromagnetic waves into other forms as a result of its interaction with matter, a decrease in directional transmittance of incident radiation, resulting in a modification or conversion of the absorbed energy.
Additive Primaries: Red, green and blue light.
When all three additive primaries are combined at 100% intensity, white light is produced. When these three are combined at varying intensities, a gamut of different colors is produced. Combining two primaries at 100% produces a subtractive primary, either cyan, magenta, or yellow.
100% red + 100% green = yellow; 100% red + 100% blue = magenta; 100% green + 100% blue = cyan
See subtractive primaries.
Appearance: Manifestation of the nature of objects and materials through visual attributes such as size, shape, color, texture, glossiness, transparency, opacity, etc.
Attribute: Distinguishing characteristic of a sensation, perception or mode of appearance. Colors are often described by their attributes of hue, saturation or chroma, and lightness.
Black: The absence of all reflected light; the color that is produced when an object absorbs all wavelengths from the light source.
When 100% cyan, magenta, and yellow colorants are combined, the resulting color, theoretically, is black. In real world applications, this combination produces a muddy gray or brown. In four color process printing, black is one of the inks.
The letter "K" is used to represent black in the CMYK acronym to avoid confusion with blue's "B" in RGB.
Brightness: The attribute of visual perception in accordance with which an area appears to emit or reflect more or less light (this attribute of color is used in the color model HSB - Hue, Saturation, Brightness). See Lightness.
Chroma: The attribute of visual perception in accordance with which an area appears saturated with a particular color or hue. Example: a red apple is high in chroma; pastel colors are low in chroma; black, white and gray have no chroma (this attribute of color is used in the color model L*C*H - Lightness, Chroma, Hue); also referred to as Saturation.
Chromaticity, Chromaticity Coordinates: Dimensions of a color stimulus expressed in terms of hue and saturation, or redness-greenness and yellowness-blueness, excluding the luminous intensity. Generally expressed as a point in a plane of constant luminance. See CIE xy Chromaticity Diagram.
CIE (Commission International de L'Eclairage): A French name that translates to International Commission on Illumination, the main international organization concerned with color and color measurement.
CIELAB (OR CIE L*a*b*, CIE Lab): Color space in which values L*, a* and b* are plotted at right angles to one another to form a three dimensional coordinate system. Equal distances in the space approximately represent equal color differences. Value l* represents Lightness; value a* represents the Redness/Greenness axis; and value B.Arch. represents the yellowness/blueness axis. CIELAB is a popular color space for use in measuring reflective and transmissive objects.
CIE Standard Illuminants: Known spectral data established by the CIE for four different types of light sources. When using tristimulus data to describe a color, the illuminant must also be defined. These standard illuminants are used in place of actual measurements of the light source.
CIE Standard Observer: A hypothetical observer having the tristimulus color mixture data recommended in 1931 by the CIE for a 2° viewing angle. A supplementary observer for a larger angle of 10° was adopted in 1964. If not specified, the 2° Standard Observer should be assumed. If the field of view is larger than 4°, the 10° Standard Observer should be used.
CIE Xy Chromaticity Diagram: A two-dimensional graph of the chromaticity coordinates, x as the abscissa and as the ordinate, which shows the spectrum locus (chromaticity coordinates of monachromatic light, 380-770nm). It has many useful properties for comparing colors of both luminous and nonluminous materials.
CIE Tristimulus Values: Amounts (in percentages)O of the three components necessary in a three-color additive mixture required for matching a color: in the CIE System, they are designated as X, Y and Z. The illuminant and standard observer color matching functions used must be designated; if they are not the assumption is made that the values are for the 1931 CIE 2° Standard Observer and Illuminant C.
CIE xyz Chromaticity Coordinates: Plotted to for the xyY chromaticity diagram which visually represents the gamut of vision for the 1931 CIE 2° Standard Observer. Calculated from the CIE XYZ Tristimulus Values.
CMC (Color Measurement Committee): Of the Society of Dyes and Colorists in Great Britain. Developed a more logical, ellipse-based equation for computing (E values as an alternative to the rectangular coordinates of the CIELAB color space.)
CMY: The subtractive primaries cyan, magenta, and yellow. See Subtractive Primaries.
Color Matching Functions: Relative amounts of three additive primaries required to match each wavelength of light. The term is generally used to refer to the CIE Standard Observer color matching functions designated. See CIE Standard Observer.
Color Model: A color measurement scale or system that numerically specifies the perceived attributes of color. Used in computer graphics applications and by color measurement instruments.
Color Separation: The conversion of the red green, and blue color information used in a computer into cyan, magenta, yellow, and black channels that are used to make printing plates.
Color Space: A three-dimensional geometric representation of the colors that can be seen and/or generated using a certain color model.
Color Specification: Tristimulus values, chromaticity coordinates and luminance value, or other color-scale values, used to designate a color numerically in a specified color system.
Color Temperature: A measurement of the color of light radiated by an object while it is being heated. This measurement is expressed in terms of absolute scale, or degrees Kelvin. Lower Kelvin temperatures such as 2400°K are red; higher temperatures such as 9300°K are blue. Neutral temperature is gray, at 6504°K.
Color Wheel: The visible spectrum's continuum of colors arranged into a circle, where complementary colors such as red and green are located directly across from each other.
Colorants: Materials used to create colors, dyes, pigments, toners, phosphors.
ColorSync: Building color management architecture for Apple Macintosh computers. Third party vendors utilize the ColorSync framework to provide device calibration, device characterization, and device profile building methods.
Colorimeter: An optical measurement instrument that responds to color in a manner similar to the human eye, by filtering reflected light into its dominant regions of red, green and blue.
Colorimetric: Of or relating to values giving the amounts of three colored lights or receptors, red, green and blue.
Contrast: The level of variation between light and dark areas in an image.
Control Limits: The amount of acceptable variation in press capabilities over the course of a press run.
Cyan: One of the process ink colors for printing. Pure cyan is the "redless" color; it absorbs all red wavelengths of light and reflects all blue and green wavelengths.
D65: The CIE Standard Illumination that represents a color temperature of 6504°K. This is the color temperature that is most widely used in graphic arts industry viewing booths. See Kelvin (K).
Delta: A symbol used to indicate deviation or difference.
Delta Error(E): In color tolerencing, the symbol (E is used to express Delta Error, the total color difference computed using a color difference equation.
The color difference is generally calculated as the square root of the combined squares of the chromaticity differences, (a* and (b*, and the Lightness difference, L.
Densitometer: A sensitive, photoelectric instrument that measures the density of images or colors.
Density: The ability of a material to absorb light; the darker it is, the higher the density.
Device Dependent: Describes a color space that can re defined only by using information on the color rendering capabilities of a specific device. For example, the RGB color space must be generated by a monitor, a device which has specific capabilities and limitations for achieving its gamut of colors. In additional, all monitors have different capabilities and limitations, as do different scanners, printers and printing presses.
Device Independent: Describes a color space that can be defined using the full gamut of human vision, as defined by a standard observer, independent of the color rendering capabilities of any specific device.
Device Profiler: Device specific color information that is a characterization of a device's color rendering and reproduction capabilities. Monitor profiles, scanner profiles, and printer profiles are utilized in a color management system such as Apple ColorSync to help the devices communicate color information with each other. Profiles are created by calibration and/or characterization method.
Dye: A soluble colorant; as opposed to pigment, which is insoluble.
Dynamic Range: An instruments range of measurable values, from the lowest amount it can detect to the highest amount it can handle.
Electromagnetic Spectrum: The massive band of electromagnetic waves that pass through the air in different sizes, as measured by wavelength. Different wavelengths have different properties, but most are invisible, and some completely undetectable, to human beings. Only wavelengths that are between 380 and 720 nanometers in size are visible, producing light. Invisible waves outside the visible spectrum include gamma rays, x-rays, microwaves and radio waves.
Emissive Object: An object that emits light Usually some sort of chemical reaction, such as the burning gasses of the sun or the heated filament of a light bulb.
Fluorescent Lamp: A lass tube filled with mercury gas and coated on its inner surface with phosphors. When the gas is charged with an electrical current, radiation is produced which in turn energizes the phosphors, causing the phosphors to glow.
Four Color Process: Depositing combinations of the subtractive primaries cyan, magenta, yellow, and black on paper to achieve. These colorants are deposited as dots of different sizes, shapes, and angles to create the illusion of different colors. See CMY, Subtractive Primaries.
Gamut: The range of different colors that can be interpreted by a color model or generated by a specific device.
Gamut Compression: Or tonal range compression. The color space coordinates of a color space with a larger gamut are reduced to accommodate the smaller gamut of a destination color space. For example, the gamut of photographic film is compressed for representation in the smaller CMYK gamut used for four color processing printing. See Gamut.
Gamut Mapping: Converting the coordinates of two or more color spaces into a common color space. Often results in tonal range compression. See Gamut Compression.
HiFi Printing: Process printing that expands the conventional four color process gamut using additional, special ink colors.
Hue: The basic color of an object, such as "red," "green," etc. Defined by its angular position in a cylindrical color space, or on a Color Wheel.
Illuminant: Incident luminous energy specified by its spectral distribution.
Illuminant A (CIE): CIE Standard Illuminant for incandescent illumination, yellow-orange in color, with a correlated color temperature of 2856°K.
Illuminant C (CIE): CIE Standard Illuminant for tungsten illumination that simulates average daylight, bluish in color, with a correlated color temperature of 6774°K.
Illuminants D (CIE): CIE Standard Illuminants for daylight, based on actual spectral measurements of daylight. D65 with a correlated color temperature of 6504(K is most commonly used. Others include D50, D55, and D75.
Intensity: Saturation or reflective energy as related to visible wavelengths of flight. Reflect range of wavelengths at high intensity generates high saturation or chroma.
IT8: Series of test targets and tools for colorcharacterization established by ANSI (American National Standards Institute) Committee IT8 for Digital Data Exchange Standards. Different IT8 targets are used to characterize different devices such as scanners and printers.
Kelvin (K): Unit of measurement for color temperature. The Kelvin scale starts from absolute zero, which is -273° Celsius.
L*C*H°: A color space that is similar to CIELAB, except uses cylindrical coordinates of lightness, chroma and hue angle instead of rectangular coordinates.
Light: Electromagnetic radiation in the spectral range detectable by the human eye (approx. 380 to 720nm).
Lightness: The attribute of visual perception in accordance with which an area appears to emit or reflect more or less light. Also refers to the perception by which white objects are distinguished from gray objects, and light from dark colored objects.
Magenta: One of the process ink colors for printing. Pure magenta is the "greenless" color; it absorbs all wavelengths of green from light and reflects all red and blue wavelengths.
Metamerism, Metameric Pair: The phenomenon where two colors appear to match under one light source, yet do not match under a different light source. Two such colors are called a metameric pair.
Monitor RGB: Same as RGB; monitor RGB simply refers specifically to the color space that can be achieved by a particular monitor using combinations of red, green, and blue light.
Munsell Color Charts: A three dimensional color system developed by Albert Munsell that is based on the attributes Munsell Hue, Munsell Value, and Munsell Chroma.
Nanometer (nm): Unit of length equal to a 10-9 meter, or one millionth of a millimeter. Wavelengths are measured in nanometers.
Overprint: On a press sheet color bar, overprints are color patches were two process inks have been printed, one atop the other. Checking the density of these patches allows press operators determine trap value. The term Overprint also applies to any object printed on top of other colors.
Phosphors: Materials that emit light when irradiated by cathode rays, or when placed in an electric field. The quantity of visible light is proportional to the amount of excitation energy present.
Photoelectric: Pertaining to the electrical effects of light or other radiation; for example, emissions of electrons.
Photoreceptor: The cone and rod shaped neurons that cover the retina of the eye. photoreceptors are excited by visible wavelengths, then send signals to the brain where the sensation of color is perceived.
Pigment: An insoluble colorant; as opposed to a dye which is soluble.
Pixel: A tiny picture element that contains red, green and blue information for color rendering on a monitor or a scanner. When generating colors, pixels are similar to dots of ink on paper. A monitor resolution description in terms of pixels per inch (ppi.) is similar to a printer resolution description in terms of dots per inch (dpi).
Primary Colors: The dominant regions of the visible spectrum--red, green, and blue--and their opposite colors cyan, magenta, and yellow. See Additive Primaries. Subtractive Primaries.
Prism: Triangular shaped glass or other transparent material. When light is passed through a prism, its wavelengths refract into a rainbow of colors. This demonstrates that light is composed of color and indicates the arrangement of colors in the visible spectrum. See Visible Spectrum.
Process Control: Using densitometric and colorimetric measurement data from press sheet color bars to monitor press performance throughout the press run. Data is analyzed in relation to established control limits. See Control Limits.
Reflective Object: A solid object that returns some or all of the wavelengths of emitted light that strike its surface. A reflective object that returns 100% of all light is called a perfect diffuser--a perfectly white surface.
Reflectance: The percentage of light that is reflected from an object. Spectrophotometers measure an object's reflectance at various intervals along the visible spectrum to determine the object color's spectral curve. See Spectral Curve, Spectral Data.
RGB: The additive primaries red, green and blue. See Additive Primaries.
Saturation: The attribute of color perception that expresses the amount of departure from the neutral gray of the same lightness. Also referred to as chroma.
Sequence: The order in which inks are deposited on paper by a printing press.
Spectral Curve: A color's "fingerprint" (a visual representation of a color's spectral data. A spectral curve is plotted on a grid comprised of a vertical axis); and a horizontal axis (the visible spectrum of wavelengths. The percentage of reflected light is plotted at each interval, resulting in points that form a curve.
Spectral Data: The most precise description of the color of an object. An object's color appearance results from light being changed by an object and reflected to a viewer. Spectral data is a description of how the reflected light was changed. The percentage of reflected light is measured at several intervals across its spectrum of wavelengths. This information can be visually represented as a spectral curve.
Spectrophotometer: An instrument that measures the characteristics of light reflected from our transmitted through an object, which is interpreted as spectral data.
Spectrum: Spatial arrangement of electromagnetic energy in order of wavelength size. See Electromagnetic Spectrum, Visible Spectrum.
Standard: An established, approved reference against which instrument measurements of samples are evaluated.
Subtractive Primaries: Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow. When all three subtractive primaries are combined at 100% on white paper, black is produced. When these three are combined at varying intensities, a gamut of different colors is produced. Combining two primaries at 100% produces an additive primary, either red, green, or blue.
100% cyan + 100% magenta = blue; 100% cyan + 100% yellow = green; 100% magenta + 100% yellow = red.
Tolerance: The amount of acceptable difference between a known correct standard (usually the customer's specifications) and a set of measured samples. See delta error.
Tranmissive Object: An object that allows light to pass through from one side to the other. The color of a transmissive object results from the manipulation of wavelengths of light as they pass through.
Tri-stimulus: A method for communicating or generating a color using three stimuli; either additive or subtractive colorants (such as RGB or CMY), or three attributes (such as lightness, chroma, and hue.)
Tri-stimulus Data: The three tri-stimulus values that combine to define or generate a specific color, such as R255/G255, B 0. Tri-stimulus data does not completely describe a color, the illuminant must also be defined. Also, in device dependent color models such as RGB, the capabilities of the viewer or color rendering device must also be defined. See Device Dependent.
Viewing Booth: An enclosed area with controlled lighting that is used in graphic arts studios, service bureaus, and printing companies as a stable environment for evaluating proofs and press sheets. Viewing booths are generally illuminated using graphic arts industry-standard 65 lighting, and are surfaced in neutral gray colors.
Visible Spectrum: The region of the electromagnetic spectrum between 380 and 720 nanometers. Wavelengths inside this span create the sensation of color when they are viewed by the human eye. The shorter wavelengths create the sensation of violets, purples, and blues; the longer wavelengths create the sensation of oranges and reds.
Wave: A physical activity that rises and then falls periodically as it travels through a medium
Wavelength: Light is made up of electromagnetic waves; wavelength is the crest (peak)-to-crest distance between two adjacent waves.
White Light: Theoretically, light that emits all wavelengths of the visible spectrum at uniform intensity. In reality, most light sources cannot achieve such perfection.
Yellow: One of the process ink colors or printing. Pure yellow is the "blueless" color; it absorbs all wavelengths of blue from light and reflects all red and green wavelengths.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 21/2/2014 (1248 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The headline in the Feb. 14 New York Times read: "Volkswagen Vote is Defeat for Labor in South."
Let's face it, in North America, as in the rest of the western world, labour is on the ropes and in the last round of the fight in representing employees. Western governments introducing traditional economic models believe the way to go about this is to increase the inequity within our society.
Point the labour laws in the direction of the employer and cut as much as possible on the big money items at the bargaining table like benefits and pensions.
This headline is a great example of workers in the U.S., and to a lesser degree in Canada, of expressing the concept of false conciseness — citizens not knowing what is in their best interest.
It's a political-economy theory that people are unable to understand who in our institutions represent their values and interests.
For example: a person on social welfare voting to lower taxes for those who are already wealthy.
On an individual level they either start to feel helpless in their despair, or move in the direction of believing in radicalization. That the country is not motivated to move in the direction that will assist less powerful groups, citizens feel they do not have a stake in society.
Should there be a wide gap between those in need and government indifference, citizens' expectation and real needs — particularly for young people? In Canada the youth unemployment rate is 14 per cent.
The employer has more authority worldwide based on the balance of power in or out of the workplaces. I am a moderate on these matters, but labour has failed in Canada to step up to the plate with fresh strategies to fight the right-wing agenda.
For the past 20 years in Canada and the U.S., the percentage of organized workers has dropped sharply in the private sector.
They could disappear like a 20th-century dinosaur, unless new creative strategies are developed as to why a strong labour relations system is a measure of how democratic the country really is.
Unions must and will play an important role in Canadian society.
Now in our tech age, unions have to rethink how best labour should proceed. They must understand changing needs of workers, who are very different from factory or public sector unionism.
Union leaders have lost their class awareness and application of relational tactics to manage their loss of members and authority in the greater society. The class conscience is gone since now we are discussing becoming middle class, which has hurt labour.
Unemployment could be attacked by government since in our society much is needed in public works — the billions of dollars needed for infrastructure such as roads, bridges, schools and hospitals.
Labour needs to develop new methods for a different era of employees who are highly independent and well educated. Young people full of expectations for successful careers and rightly so. We owe it to them!
We need to move toward collaborative models. We just cannot afford dysfunctional conflicts.
Employers, labour and government need to work jointly on the best direction to move forward — not either side pinning one another to the cross.
This is a major principle of the labour relations model in Canada, what is known as the tripartite model, where the key three stakeholders work to the mutual benefit of all parties through mutual gains.

Press releases went out Sunday night. There are multiple parts, and they fit together in a new kind of way. Whether you use PDF and documents or not, there's something here which is worth paying attention to.
One part is the new version of the local, native-code authoring tool, Adobe Acrobat, and the free client and browser plugin, Adobe Reader. But viewing documents in web browsers is only one small part of what Acrobat does. The desktop software is the realworld standard when people use documents together. It's installed. It's part of daily life.
Another part is Buzzword and in-browser, in-the-cloud applications. This field is newer, but Buzzword is already best-of-class. Some people say the web will replace the desktop. I don't know about that. But Buzzword, Connect and the rest are already there.
A third part is web services. There's no reason you should have to view your data through an Adobe interface. You should be able to extract your data independent of its presentation, and do with it as you see fit. Custom interfaces are a necessity these days.
Put them together and we have an in-the-browser set of document services… a native-code set of high-level document services… document servers *and* document services, all with strong collaboration, lifecycle administrative control, archiving, open-format.
Desktop authoring tools. Browser-based authoring tools. Custom-made authoring tools. Local data. Remote data. All of them working together. First time ever. A new way.
That's what strikes me most about this news. Pundits will probably go into "Buzzword vs Google Docs" or "Reader vs Preview" comparisons, but zooming in on the parts hides the outline of the whole.
Any group of people now have access to modern document publishing. There's the desktop, in-the-browser, and beyond-the-browser… there's local storage, local network storage, or cloud-based storage. All the scales work together.
If you have a computer and a connection, it costs no additional money to participate. You can manage and protect your own data, or let someone else do it. The platform supports various workflows, and does not dictate what your workflow should be.
Pundits argue "desktop vs browser" and "cloud vs local" and "own-your-data vs free-your-data", but I think needs are diverse enough that technology needs to support _all_ these choices.
This is the first version of Acrobat built after the Macromedia acquisition. It's dramatically expands what has gone before. When you look at it, look at how the various architectural sections fit together, and at PDF's existing space in the overall document ecology. I think we'll see more structures like this soon. But, the entire wider Adobe Acrobat initiative is breaking significant new ground here.
Applications aren't just on the desktop, and aren't just in the browser. They're not just stored behind the firewall, not just stored in the cloud. It's all-of-the-above. This Acrobat initiative is a new thing.

WASHINGTON – Top U.S. banks agreed Monday to pay out $20 billion in fines and compensation as regulators, borrowers and investors extract more payback over the housing and financial crisis.
Bank of America endured the harshest punishment, mainly due to its 2008 takeover of home lender Countrywide Financial, when it agreed to pay mortgage finance giant Fannie Mae $11.6 billion to settle claims that it sold Fannie hundreds of billions of dollars' worth of dud home loans.
Many of those loans, packed into securities, plunged into default after 2006's housing bubble crash, destroying the value of Fannie's investments and forcing it into a government bailout.
Meanwhile, 10 banks, including Bank of America, agreed Monday with regulators to shell out $8.5 billion in cash and assistance to homeowners to settle accusations that they had forced millions into foreclosure while ignoring borrowers' attempts to make good on their mortgages.
The two settlements were just the latest in the ongoing shakeout from the financial crisis, rooted in housing market implosion and the subsequent tanking of the multitrillion-dollar mortgage-backed securities market.
The shakeout has left the banks in the sights of regulators, of powerful state-controlled Fannie Mae, equities investors, troubled homeowners and their fellow banks.
Tens of billions in fines and compensation have been assessed, with much more to come.
In the largest so far, in February 2012, five leading banks were ordered to pay more than $25 billion over foreclosure abuse in a settlement with 49 states.
Four other banks that were investigated, including giants Ally Financial and HSBC, did not sign on to the $8.5 billion deal with federal regulators. Several other banks being probed were also not part of last year's 49-state deal, meaning they still face potential liability.

Mixed media (likely, I believe, some type of oil pastel stick), on heavy paper, 22 1/2" by 17", signed in pencil at lower right "WOLF POGZEBA" (1936-1982), showing a small herd of deer or young elk grazing quietly in a snowy forest clearing. The paper is evenly rumpled, for want of a better word; it doesn't lay flat, as if possibly exposed to moisture at one time. However, there are NOT any water stains. The extreme lower right corner is ripped off. THE ARTIST is well known in western American art circles, his work having appeared in the past at such important and prestigious auctions as Drummond (Coeur d'Alene/Reno). He is listed in Samuels, which states that he was born in Germany and was living in Denver in the mid 1970's. His subject matter runs the gamut of western Americana but animals often are prominently featured. See the askArt site which shows other images of his work, which bear a strong family resemblance to this one. The Museum of New Mexico, the Eiteljorg in Indianapolis, and other museums include the artist's work in their permanent collections. Pogzeba was personally known to a number of dealers in fine western art in places like Scottsdale and Santa Fe. The art is framed in simple wood and is behind 1/8" plexiglas for easy and safe shipping. SEE HUNDREDS OF OTHER PAINTINGS/PRINTS NOW IN MY SHOP.

Justin Bieber Thanks His Fans By Going Shirtless (VIDEO)
Justin Bieber ditched his shirt on stage while performing in Venezuela this week causing a female frenzy in the audience! Justin came back one last time to thank his fans and to say the ladies were excited is definitely an understatement.
Justin has been on tour for a few weeks in South America where girlfriend Selena Gomez joined him for a bit.
So what is this bazaar story about Bieber kissing a model in Argentina?
In an attempt to translate a ridiculous Argentinean report, some news outlets are claiming that Justin kissed model Macarena Lemos. However this is totally false, as reps for Justin laughed off the rumor earlier today.

Little Neck's MS 67 won one of four top prizes at a citywide Lego robotics competition during which it faced off against a total of 80 schools from across the five boroughs.
Eight students, ages 9 to 14 in the school's seventh- and eighth-grades, took part in the "Smart Move" event held by the First Lego League at Manhattan's Jacob Javitz Convention Center Sunday. The group took first place in the research presentation category.
"They were so happy," said Ruta Dave, the mathematics and robotics teacher at MS 67 who led the students to victory. "We worked very hard. They gave up their lunch period every day to work on this."
The students presented a detailed research project on transportation.
"They described traffic patterns," Dave said. "They showed how to reduce traffic and studied computers and satellites. They devised a model and presented it to the MTA."
The other top three categories at the competition included robot performance, teamwork and robot design. The event drew 80 teams from schools across the city.
MS 67, at 51-60 Marathon Pkwy. in Little Neck, competed for its third year in the program. In January, the students won all four top awards at a Queens qualifying tournament at Long Island City's Aviation High School.
The school is currently displaying the trophy won by its team at the Lego competition. Students on the team were Bryan Tan, Harrison Lu, Taranwir Waraich, Jung Hur, Robert Ruzic, Justin Goevara, Brandon Lei and Thomas Leung.
