Yep, as of the October 6 nightly the Play button is working to begin movies and TV shows again.
The giant .png creation issue is still plaguing me, however. And according to the log it appears to be a PleXBMC issue, not an XBMC issue.
Quote:21:05:06 T:2957852672 DEBUG: Caching image 'http://SDF2.local.:32400/library/parts/8394/cdart.png' as '3/3a07d29e.png' full size
Last night while watching movies two massive .png files were created. One at 10.57GB in size and the other at 19.92GB!
I guess PleXBMC is trying to serve thumbnail data to XBMC, there's some kind of bug, and the file is never told to stop growing?
Hopefully, this is something Hippojay can look into… maybe he can add some debug info to check the size after it's cached?

I'm not well versed enough in python to do this myself but if someone else here is and they're also experiencing the massive .png thumbnail issue like me I believe a size check can be placed in PleXBMC's default.py. Specifically, I'd think line 2813 in the the getThumb function would be the spot.

Sorry I've been away, had quite a it on at work and then a suffer the dreaded double hdd failure which took some time (and expense) to fix.
Anyway, I'm back and can have a look.
Anyway, basically I can see that this issue is to do with the extra fan art/thumb functionality of certain skins. The cdart.png filename is nothing that lives in the plugin, nor on the plex media server. It seems like an optimistic hunt for extra art in the same location as the movie.
Unfortunately due to the way plex work, a call to the dir is also a call to the media file, and so this is being cached as a picture (hence the multi-gb files).
Not sure how to fix this, it's more an issue with plex media server and how it reacts to calls to the API. In reality the API is too open and relaxed and needs to be tightened up.
I'll drop elan an email and see what he thinks

Thanks for your response, hippojay.

I'm using your PlexAeon skin. Are you suggesting the skin is asking for the data? If so, can the skin be modified to stop asking? Would one of your other PleXBMC compatible skins not have the problem?
Quote:Unfortunately due to the way plex work, a call to the dir is also a call to the media file, and so this is being cached as a picture (hence the multi-gb files).
I understand what you mean about the contents of the video being inserted in these monster .png files. I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "a call to the [directory] is also a call to the media file." My (very basic) understanding of how PMS works is that the Plex client always streams and plays the same file and PMS just associates different media with that file. But I don't get how cdart.png is linking to the video. At any rate, is there a hack we could do to alleviate the problem? For instance, all my movies are in one folder, could I put a dummy cdart.png in that folder or in one of Plex's folders to trick PMS/PleXBMC?
Quote:I'll drop elan an email and see what he thinks
I hope you hear from Elan and can let us know if a solution is coming. Things have been pretty quite on the Plex front for a while now.

When i first setup the PleXBMC plugin it shows all library sections of my PMS.
First problem:
All the posters are shown correctly and immediately (that's not the problem ). But not the fanart. Sometimes it takes 3-5 seconds to show up the correct fanart and sometimes it doesn't show any...
Second problem:
If i change something in the PMS via PMM, like a cover or fan art, it's shown immediately with Plex. Not so in XBMC with PleXBMC plugin. Nothing changes here. No matter what i try. No "refresh listing", no "refresh library section" do anything. Even after numerous restarts of XBMC, PMS and the Mac itself... no changed art is shown.
I'm using XBMC/PleXBMC on the same Mac mini as Plex/PMS.
Any ideas? Thanks!

I'm starting to manually include some of the popular non-xbmc.org repo add-ons on the XBMC Wiki:
Feel free to do what you want (within reason) with that page. You can even make subpages by adding a slash to the url, like:
Drop me a message if anyone needs help with wiki editing. Anyone can edit, just register on the wiki and you're good to go (page creation requires an account that is a few days old and has made five edits).

Hi all,
I have installed xbmc and the plex add-on successfully. By the way, thanks for your work!
The porblem is that the plexbmc doesn't see my libraries. The reason is the following (from debug log):
19:02:04 T:140397952661248 M:2462597120 NOTICE: PleXBMC -> getURL: url = http://192.168.1.200:32400/system/library/sections
19:02:05 T:140397952661248 M:2461458432 NOTICE: PleXBMC -> getURL: ====== XML returned =======
19:02:05 T:140397952661248 M:2461458432 NOTICE: <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<MediaContainer noHistory="0" replaceParent="0" size="0" identifier="com.plexapp.system"/>
So my plex server doesn't give back any library
For the Plex Media Server I am using the binary package available for fedora/centos (there is a thread about it) which is based on the binary package for ubuntu. I have tested two versions but both of them has the same issue:
- 0.9.5.3.268
- 0.9.5.3.309
Other players (samsung smart TV, android plex) are working fine.
If I do a GET on http://192.168.1.200:32400/library/sections then I get back my libraries (this is what the plex manage website does and I guess the other players as well) but that xml is not usable for plexbmc ( I tested it ).
Do you have any idea what can be the problem and where should I start?

Approval Plan
Approval plans and blanket orders are methods of acquiring library materials whereby a vendor selects material for a library based upon profiles established by the Library. The vendor ships materials to the Library weekly and that approval material may be autoship books as noted in a profile or may be orders generated by a selector after reviewing online slips and then submitting an order. The vendor for the main domestic approval plan is YBP. They offer an interface for review and selection called GOBI http:// www.gobi3.com/Pages/Login.aspx. Selectors are responsible for reviewing the profiles and work through the Acquisitions Librarian on adjustments. The form to submit approval plan changes is named APPROVAL PROFILE UPDATE FORM and may be found at: G:\Collections Info\Approval Plan -YBP
Selectors must use templates on GOBI to enter default order details. Contact Acquisitions approval staff to either set up or update an order template as the proper subaccounts must be used.
The UIUC Library has four domestic approval profiles:
The Undergraduate and the SSH profile both have awards programs associated with them; those are autoship books and come directly.
Each plan has a publisher list associated with it that includes the major trade and all the university press publishers.
Each profile may reviewed on the vendor platform GOBI (Offer link http://www.gobi3.com/Pages/Login.aspx) under the Library tab (then pick approval profiles to view ). They are also available on the G drive under:
G:\Collections Info\Approval Plan -YBP\YBP profiles and publisher lists
To obtain a GOBI login please contact Joyce Catchings or Lynn Wiley. See instructions below on how to get a template set up.
NEW Gobi Templates & Account instructions
The approval plan is funded centrally but suballocated across all the approval funds. These allocations are based on past selections and may be changed depending on use and publishing output. Funds unspent by April may be reallocated to areas that need that extra allocation. Fund suballocation annual amounts as well as fund balances (run weekly) may be found at: G:\Collections Info\Approval plan info
A list of other approval plans, notably the European blanket order plans, is under profiles . We also have other plans for select subject areas such as the LABO plans with many vendors to cover Latin American materials and a few for African titles as well as several for Slavic. Plans are available for different formats such as scores, CDs, graphic novels and DVD series.
Approval Plan Statistics:
Approval Plan Statistics for the past few years are available by fund:
After FY2009, please see the full reports on Approval activity in the shared folder under: G:\Collections Info\Approval plan info\previous year info\FY 2008-2012 activity

Fortnight for Freedom for All
Today begins the second Fortnight for Freedom, a two-week period of prayer and action called by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. Its purpose is to raise awareness about many current challenges to religious liberty, one of the most pressing being the August 1, 2013 deadline for religious organizations to comply with the HHS mandate.
The beginning of the Fortnight coincides with the feasts of St. Thomas More and St. John the Baptist, two men who lost their heads, literally, for the faith. The bishops are not joking around.
All people of faith in this country should tune in, because the government's demand that all institutions with little exception provide contraception, abortion-inducing drugs and sterilization puts countless employers in an impossible position: comply with the law or violate their conscience. Failure to comply can come with staggering fines from the IRS.
Rather than abide by the Religious Freedom Restoration Act which passed with overwhelming bipartisan support, was signed by Bill Clinton and offers generous exemption to conscientious objectors, the administration gave religious employers at non-profits a one-year period to get over their moral qualms against things like abortion pills. This so-called "safe-harbor" for objecting religious institutions was never very safe, but even that tenuous protection ends this August 1. Might you be an employer in the private sector? Sorry, you're plum out of luck.
There's been a lot of talk about an olive branch. The so-called accommodation was touted as a fix-all solution to those whining about faith fines. But the substance of the proposal was a mere accounting gimmick. To date there has been no acceptable solution, the most obvious evidence of which are the more than 60 lawsuits, encompassing 200 plaintiffs and counting, filed against the administration for violating First Amendment rights. People of faith continue to wait for a sign of good faith from the administration, and turn to periods like the Fortnight for spiritual fortitude and renewed action.
"In today's world, religious freedom is more often affirmed than put into practice," Pope Francis said. "It is often threatened, and not infrequently violated. The serious outrages against this fundamental right are a source of serious concern, and need to be confronted at the global level."
This is neither a partisan nor an exclusively Catholic issue because it is a basic human freedom protected by the First Amendment and written in human nature. Defending religious freedom stems from a love of country which values both the vision of our Founders, and human dignity.
The recent rash of scandals reveal just how bold this administration has been in its dismissal of constitutional rights. How arrogant this administration has been in forcing that choice between conscience and country that our forefathers sought, at the price of their lives, to avoid. And how aggressive has been this administration's push to relegate religion and those who take it seriously to the margins of society.
"Defending religious liberty and making it available for everyone," Pope Francis said, "is everyone's responsibility."
Join us during this Fortnight for Freedom, especially at the Prayer Vigil for Religious Freedom where we will pray for a last-minute reprieve from this administration's outrageous demands.

In his last regular season game as a Golden Bear, senior Wendell Hunter represented the seniors well, making the key play of the game. He scooped up a blocked extra point attempt and returned it 85 yards for a defensive conversion. His long run was aided by Harrison Smith's terrific block near the USM 17-yard-line. Instead of facing a tie game with 5:56 remaining, the Bears suddenly had a three- point advantage.
Following the ensuing kickoff, Cal stretched the margin to the final difference of ten on a pair of rushing attempts by J.J. Arrington (12 and 56) followed by a 12 yard TD run by Marshawn Lynch.
The match-up between the Golden Bears and Golden Eagles featured some of the hardest hitting Bear fans saw all year. Southern Mississippi skillfully executed the fundamentals of blocking and tackling as well as any Cal opponent. The physical nature of the game can be summed up by one play. In the first half, Matt Giordano suffered a blow to the mouth, causing a cut that required a reported 100+ stitches to close.
USM did an excellent job of protecting QB Dustin Almond. The Bears were unable to pressure him without bringing additional support from the linebackers and defensive backs. Almond took advantage of the protection by passing for a personal best of 304 yards. Also, USM's strategy of having Almond throw the ball below the knees of his receivers paid off. The Golden Eagle receivers made several outstanding diving catches.
As successful as the USM offensive were protecting Almond, they were equally unsuccessful running the ball. The Golden Eagles generated only 41yards on 17 carries.
In a game that was hauntingly reminiscent of their play against Southern California, Cal marched up and down the field, but had little to show for their efforts. Cal rolled up 546 total yards with only three touchdowns as the USM defense stiffened in the red zone. Despite this frustration, there were some shining moments. The second Cal TD, a second quarter pass from Aaron Rodgers to Garrett Cross, illustrated the offensive genius of Jeff Tedford/George Cortez as well as any play this season. On the play immediately preceding the scoring pass, the Bears lined up in a double TE formation with Cross on the left and Stevens on the right. Cross went in motion to the right and then down the field into the end zone. Stevens trailed behind him into the right flat. When the USM defenders ran to cover Cross, Rodgers threw to Stevens for a five yard gain. On the next play, the Bears lined up in the same formation. Once again Cross went into motion to the right and into the end zone after the snap, with Stevens trailing him into the flat. This time, the Golden Eagle defenders converged on Stevens, leaving Cross wide open in the end zone for an easy score.
Any summary of the game must include special mention of the efforts of seniors J.J. Arrington and Geoff McArthur. Before a huge assemblage of his extended family, Arrington ran for a career best 261 yards. (third on the all-time Cal list). This extended his Cal season rushing record total to 1845 yards, 6th all-time on the Pac-10 single season list. After the game, J.J. was surrounded by a throng of well-wishers, all proudly displaying the Number 30 somewhere on their clothing.
GMac personified courage. He was injured late in the first half on a tremendous effort to haul in a deep Rodgers pass. In the second half, he returned to make one reception, a fingertip catch of a long Rodgers pass down the left sideline. Later, McArthur broke his leg making a block. Although he will miss his second consecutive bowl game, GMac will long be remembered at Cal for the toughness he displayed on the field and the leadership he exhibited in the locker room. Of all the memories this senior class provided Bear fans, McArthur's growth as a person will be the most lasting. When it comes to the complete individual, on and off the field, GMac stands with Russell White as an example of what is right about college athletics. I look forward to the day when Geoff McArthur takes his place in the California Athletic Hall of Fame alongside other Bear greats.
Any one of the following six, Hunter, GMac, Arrington, Rodgers, DeCoud and the collective O-Line, would be appropriate selections; however, in his last game as a Golden Bear, GMac is the man. Congrats on a great career.
ROAD TRIP NOTES: The flight to New Orleans on Friday was heavily populated by Golden Bears, including a former yell leader who organized a CAL spell out as we were flying into Louis Armstrong Airport. Cal spirit is alive in the air.
On Friday night in the French Quarter, it was great to see a large number of people wearing Cal colors so far from home. Cal spirit is alive on the ground.
Speaking of Cal colors, seeing individuals with their Cal Football Family jackets is a reminder of the commitment that families make as they travel around the country to support their sons. Without a doubt, our Bears are backed by some great people. We should always remember that the players are not machines, they are young men doing their best to represent themselves, their families and our University. (and a special hello to the Malele's and Fraley's – it was nice to have a chance to chat).
Southern hospitality is thriving. By far, the USM fans are the most hospitable I have encountered on a road trip. Before the game, several tailgaters invited me to partake at their setups. After the game, at least a half-dozen USM fans stopped me and wished us well at our Bowl Game, including several who just wanted to talk about the game and our program.
Finally, I have never attended a Cal win in which the Bear fans left the stadium in such a downcast mood. It was a sign of the distance our program has come in the last three years as much as it was disappointment. We have arrived at the threshold. Next year, we will knock the door down by controlling our own destiny…

Kate Moss Has Aged. We Still Say So What?
Today the Daily Mail reports that Kate Moss, presumably horrified by the recent unflattering photos of her looking a bit un-supermodel-like on vacay in St Tropez, is going on a health kick. "A source said: 'Kate didn't like seeing pictures of the state of her skin while she was on holiday. She knows it's down to her lifestyle, so she is deciding to try a particular health plan to help regain a fresh look.'" The idea is to take 10 years off. Perhaps she'll consult GOOP for fasting regimens?
Seriously though, here's why this kind of sucks.
We're all for drinking and smoking less — god knows we try — and hope that Kate does make some healthier choices if she truly feels she needs to alter her lifestyle. But on the other hand, there was something really refreshing about seeing such a great, famous beauty age naturally as opposed to the usual plastic-surgery road most older celebs feel pressured to travel. Personally, I think people were so "shocked" because it's quite rare to see a middle-aged celeb who isn't all shot up with Botox and fillers these days. Could it be even more "shocking" that our eyes simply aren't accustomed to seeing fine lines and creases on famous people anymore?
Sure, Moss is getting to an age where she can't party like she used to and look fresh-faced on set the next day. That's just life. I guess what really gives me pause here is that tons of male stars — namely musicians — drink and smoke and do drugs and god knows what else far into their old age and, sure, maybe they look like ass, but they still land hot young wives and get praised for their stamina and prowess. Hello, Keith Richards? Meanwhile, Moss, who clearly lives a similar rock star lifestyle, gets vilified for it and suddenly, it's her own fault she looks so "terrible." It's a pretty crappy double standard. [Daily Mail]

"The beats on this album are infectious. The most no-bullsh*t hip-hop beats I've heard on an album in years (Lil' Wayne please take note). They're produced almost exclusively by Jesse Case... an unknown producer to me, but if Jay-Z ever hears this sh*t then I can't imagine how he won't become a household name."
"Musical directors at Second City have traditionally been supporting players... but Case doesn't tinkle quietly at the piano in the time-honored tradition. He pounds his clutch of electronic instruments and turns himself into a major character in a revue that's the most layered, textured and thoroughly exciting show at e.t.c. in years."
"Jesse Case triples as musical director, composer and sound designer - and Depraved New World offers the most complex use to date at The Second City of music, sound and sampling. He truly is a seventh cast member."
Rolling Stone shows off a track Jesse wrote for Talib Kweli on Full Frontal with Samantha Bee.
"Longer! Louder! Wagner!" - featuring Jesse live at the keys as Wagner - is a hit.
"Unelectable You" - Second City's collaboration with Slate.com - gets a rave.
Second City and Lyric Opera team up again - also this photograph in Chicago Magazine is pretty cool.

"The Second City Guide to the Opera" is a hit. Again.
"The new version is equally hilarious and probably even more effective. Three of the five comedians are back for this adaptation, with new material, as is brilliant co-writer, composer/arranger, music director Jesse Case. The Guide has proven itself to be a superb idea."
Jesse's mom finally gets her due in this article about "The Second City Guide to the Opera."
"Denver" finds its way back to the Onion AV Club.
"The Second City Guide to the Opera" is a hit.
"This experiment was a resounding success. Saturday night's performance treated the audience to two hours of hilarious skits fondly spoofing every aspect of opera including the vocalists, fans, composers, and the dramatic plot lines. A chamber ensemble from Lyric's orchestra, along with Second City e.t.c.'s musical director Jesse Case provided on-the-ball musical accompaniment."
Mark Caro at the Chicago Tribune follows the writing process of "The Second City Guide to the Opera."
"We're All In This Room Together" at Second City e.t.c. takes home two 2012 Jeff Awards.
Second City's collaboration with Lyric Opera, with Jesse as Musical Director, is officially announced.
TJ Miller and the "Denver" music video are on the Huffington Post.
Jesse's interviewed about Second City on the last page of this magazine.
Jesse's on the Poor Choices Podcast this week. It'd be a great choice to listen to it.
Improv All-Stars got a killer review in the Chicago Tribune. Read it.
Jesse helps lead the band and is featured in a few of these Best-Of videos from Norton Stuff Theatre.
"Sky's the Limit (Weather Permitting)" at Second City e.t.c. won three Jeff Awards!
Jesse wrote a song about Asian Carp for the NRDC. Here's an article about it in the New York Times. Go figure.
"The Second City performers sang from the perspective of Asian Carp, proclaiming that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' underwater electric barrier, just outside Chicago, 'tickles every time we swim right through it.'"
T.J. Miller talks up the album in this interview with Laughspin.
"That is the greatest compliment, that it sounds like a real record. Jesse is an incredible musician. And we kept going back into the mix because I wanted to make sure that if you were at a stoplight and heard it in somebody's car you would think that you were listening not to a comedy album, but to a real, honest, shitty pop album."
The upcoming Extended Play E.P. gets a nice plug in this L.A. Times feature about T.J. Miller.

First, as the Economic Times reports, it is currently not possible for various corporate groups to restructure their holding companies so as to convert them into LLPs. The reasoning is as follows:
But, corporates planning to convert their holding companies into LLPs have been told by the registrar of companies (ROC) to get a no-objection certificate (NOC) from RBI; and the central bank is unwilling to give one. "There is a concern that the moment a company becomes LLP, it will be out of the RBI radar. These companies are core investment companies and under new rules they will be monitored, like non-banking finance companies (NBFCs), by the regulator," said an RBI official.Second, although FDI into LLPs is being actively considered, it has been reported that there is no momentum to permit LLPs to raise overseas debt in the form of external commercial borrowings:
Currently, the definition of NBFC under the RBI Act does not specifically cover LLPs. Only companies registered under the Companies Act can form NBFCs. "We have told RBI that the law has to be changed to enable recognition of LLPs as core investment companies under the NBFC format," said an official in the registrar of LLPs in Delhi. An RBI spokesperson confirmed that the central bank is in discussion with the ministry of corporate affairs on the subject.
The LLP structure was introduced primarily keeping in mind operating companies, and not holding and investment companies.
Although there is no restriction under the LLP Act as to the activities that an LLP can carry out, the lack of acceptance of the new business vehicle under other legislation such as the RBI Act has given rise to such ambiguities, thereby curtailing the utility of the LLP and its benefits.
The finance ministry and the Reserve Bank of India have opposed changes in the external commercial borrowings (ECB) policy to allow overseas borrowings by LLPs, while responding to a discussion paper on this form of business put out by the department of industrial policy and planning (DIPP), the policymaking body on foreign investment.
The ECB regime should be identical to the one applicable for partnerships, the finance ministry said in response to the paper. The finance ministry is of the view that while FDI can be allowed in this form of business entities, but not overseas debt, said a government official privy to the discussions.
The current policy allows companies to raise ECBs, but sole proprietorship firms and partnerships are prohibited from accessing such debt. Though, LLPs combine features of the corporate form of business and partnerships, they are closer to partnerships. …

Simon Shaw drew a furious response from Wasps last night after walking out on his contract to finish his career overseas.
The England and Lions star's shock departure was confirmed within minutes of the Londoners bidding farewell to their head coach Shaun Edwards.
Wasps had no issues with the manner of Edwards' exit from a club he served for 10 years, with club director Lawrence Dallaglio hailing the "massive legacy" he left behind.
But there was anger at the way Shaw, one of the club's most-loved players, engineered his departure after 13 years.
The second row giant signed a new one-year deal only two months ago and Wasps were "depending" on his return from the World Cup giving them a significant lift.
Instead, it brought only disappointment and he is now expected to sign for Jonny Wilkinson's French club Toulon for the rest of the season.
Wasps boss Dai Young said: "Shawsy has been one of the great players of his generation, so this a massive blow for me and the club.
"If he'd told us in the summer we'd have been disappointed but at least we could have planned and got somebody else in.
"But he didn't, he signed then asked us not to announce it. Now he says he doesn't want to be here.
"It's not as though he's come back and he and I have had a punch-up around the back. It's nothing that we've done. He hasn't been here.
"I'd try to talk him out of it if his problem was he didn't like the kit or something, but it's a decision that's been made. It's disappointing but that's professional sport."
Wasps, who have been up for sale by owner Steve Hayes and who play Northampton at home on Sunday, lie fifth in the Aviva Premiership.
"If a player would rather play somewhere else there's not a lot you can do about it," Young added.
"But the contract situation needs to be respected. The club where Shawsy would obviously rather play need to be in discussions with us."
Young insists that James Haskell remains committed to rejoining Wasps next season despite securing a short-term move to New Zealand Super-15 side Otago Highlanders.
But there will be no return for Edwards, whose contract as Wales defence coach is also up. He is now available should England want him.

Obama campaign officials barred a Pennsylvania reporter from talking to people who were in line to attend an Obama rally.
The reporter, Dave Davies, wrote that "during the two-hour wait for the rally to begin, I wanted to talk to some of the supporters attending the event," but was told, "You can't be interviewing people in line," by an Obama campaign official.
"My experience Thursday at a Michelle Obama event in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania was a first," Davies wrote. "Obama campaign operatives barred me from talking to voters outside the event, to the point of interfering with my interviews and grabbing my microphone."
At one point, Davies writes his microphone was grabbed and when he again tried to speak to a different couple who were approaching the line. A different campaign official approached him and took away his microphone without identifying himself.
One attendee whom Davies tried to interview said the Obama campaign's tactics were "un-American."
Dick Polman, national political writer for the Philadelphia Inquirer, a 20-year veteran of national politics, told Davies that, "I've never had that experience, ever, and I'm talking about Republicans and Democrats, in the primaries, in the general election."

Sure, Friday was rough, but within the larger picture, the Dow is right in the middle of a trading range established early this year. Personally, I'm viewing it as the start of a buying opportunity.
Speaking of buying, let's look at 2 stocks I started acquiring the past few days. The first is bank of America (BAC: 7.74, -0.26, -3.25%). I figure as long as my ATM there works, they'll be in business. Besides, it's down pretty good so far, so I started inching in. It certainly can drop more, and in that case, I'll buy more!

The Truth About Pre-K
In the world of political correctness, much is said that isn't true, and much is unsaid that is true.
Like universal pre-k.
Across New York state, there is a debate raging on the subject of universal pre-k. Basically, the governor and people associated with the education industry want to add a grade to the public school curriculum.
Instead of sending kids to school at 5, with the start of kindergarten, they want kids to go to school at 4, with pre-kindergarten.
Much is being said about this that is untrue, and much is going unsaid about this that is true – and essential to truly understanding and addressing the issues at play.
First of all, what is untrue.
It is patently untrue that beginning school a year earlier will have any impact at all on long-term educational achievement. Neither the individual nor the society will be ultimately educationally advanced by this move.
The failings of New York schools – and they are many – do not arise from education inadequacy among 4-year-olds. It is not a failure to learn colors and shapes at age 4 that so ill prepares New York high-school graduates for vocational or educational success.
Getting a jump on standing in line and listening to "Charlotte's Web" won't enhance a student's ultimate ability to build a house or take out an appendix.
Head Start, the pre-k of an earlier age, has been shown over generations now to have no positive impact on learning whatsoever, and the most positive assessments of early-childhood education show any advantage that may accrue is lost by the third-grade.
Claims that pre-k will cure educational ills are false. It will do nothing to improve educational outcomes in the long run.
What's being said is untrue.
And what's going unsaid is true.
Including that pre-k will increase the cost of education by at least 1/13th. If there are 13 grades now, and you add another one, you will need an additional 13th as much staff and space to accommodate these additional students.
Get ready for that tax increase.
Also pre-k will essentially professionalize and unionize daycare, dramatically increasing its cost.
Now, parents and government programs pay for daycare for most 4-year-olds. The median pay for a daycare worker is $9.38 an hour – that works out to $19,510 a year.
On the other hand, when those same 4-year-olds are moved from daycare – where they are now – to pre-k – where the governor says they should be next year – the taxpayer will pay to put those children in the classroom of a certified teacher.
And in New York the average annual income of a certified teacher is $72,708.
Now society pays $19,510. With pre-k, society will pay $72,708.
And even that doesn't reflect the true disparity of costs. The daycare worker gets bare-bone benefits and no pension. The New York teacher gets Cadillac benefits and one of the most generous pensions in America.
All of which is very good news to the teachers unions, which, via the New York State United Teachers organization, are the most powerful lobbying force in Albany.
Another factor in this matter, of course, is the political popularity of a policy that will reduce by 20 percent the pre-school daycare costs of the average family. Most families use daycare, for children from birth to 5. With pre-k, that is reduced to age 4. All other considerations aside, pre-k shifts one year of that cost from individual families to taxpayers, and that is popular with individual families.
But there's one last unspoken truth that is the foundational problem.
And that is that the need for pre-k is limited in our society and is driven by the failure of the family.
Pre-k is an effort by the government to save the children of failed cultures from the savagery of their upbringings. Put another way, pre-k is a desperate attempt to limit the social pathologies that arise from out-of-wedlock birth, dysfunctional individuals in parenting rolls, and the irresponsible and narcissistic actions of failed parents.
In New York's urban cores, and in a patchwork across the rural countryside, the welfare and drug culture combined with 70-percent out-of-wedlock birth rates are producing waves of children so ill-raised and culturally neglected that by the time they get to kindergarten, they are already failed individuals. So scarred by the lack of genuine parenting, home stability and love, they are not learners when they get to school, they are feral disrupters of the educational process sadly fated to an unfolding lifetime of educational and social failure.
That is the cancerous reality pre-k seeks to change.
In that, it is a noble effort worthy of support.
The prospects of success are slim, but the stakes for society are high.
There is a metastasizing culture of failure, dependence, dysfunction and criminality exploding in our society that threatens to disrupt every aspect of American life. There are no more suburbs to flee to, no way to avoid confronting this reality.
And pre-k is an effort to stave off social collapse. The hope is that by getting children out of dysfunctional situations a year earlier, and giving them the structure and normalcy of school, they can be saved.
Pre-k isn't about more school, it's about less home.
For some children – the children of functional, traditional families – that is a bad thing. For other children – the children of broken, dysfunctional cultures – it is a godsend.
That's what we need to acknowledge.
That unspoken truth needs to be shouted from the rooftops. Not as an indictment, but as a wake-up call. Those pockets of our society which have seen the family and the parenting function fall apart must be challenged and warned, for the sake of their children, and the sake of our society.
And until we are honest enough to do that, pre-k, with all its weaknesses and likelihoods of failure, is the best thing we've got.

Printer vendor Fuji-Xerox, in conjunction with an Australian covert operator, has seized $2 million worth of counterfeit toner cartridges in Hong Kong, bound for Canada.
The seizure -- involving the Hong Kong Customs Authority and excise officials from multiple countries – resulted from the work of the operator who was employed by Fuji-Xerox Australia to seek out and expose counterfeit product suppliers in Asia.
The Hong Kong businessman that was supplying the goods faces a large monetary fine and jail time. He would also face a civil prosecution brought by Xerox Corporation in Hong Kong, the company said.
Ramsay Moodie, director of corporate affairs at Fuji-Xerox Australia, said the expert operative with 'international credentials' was hired late last year.
'He [the operator] dredges the market looking for problems,' he said.
The company also worked in conjunction with Xerox in the US and England and Fuji-Xerox's operation in Japan. Around 2800 toner units were seized, Moodie said.
The company was first alerted to the counterfeit products after earlier shipments to North America caused damage Tektronix Phaser 7800 printers. 'A large number of machines were affected,' he said.
Fuji-Xerox had also recently been involved in two other raids in Singapore on products - some which could have been bound for Australia.
'Over the last year, Fuji-Xerox and Xerox have been involved in three key raids that have seized in excess of $15 million worth of counterfeit products', said Moodie.
He said 'time will tell' whether some counterfeit products were in the Australian channel. He added that the printer market was a 'soft target' and the industry needed to crack down on these operators in a similar fashion to the music industry.
Fuji-Xerox MD Phil Chambers, said all manufacturers must be vigilant in fighting to protect the ultimate victim – the customer. 'We are telling the Australian public about this latest raid in order to alert them of the dangers.
'This particular counterfeit toner has not been found in Australia yet – however consumers should be on the alert when buying cartridges from aftermarket suppliers,' he said.

With its low-slung frame, BMX wheels, commuter-friendly disc brakes and eight-speed hub gears, the Cannondale Hooligan 1 is a lairy, Frankenstein's monster of a bike.
As such, it defies any attempt to pigeon-hole it in the usual categories. But trying to define it as a trials bike, BMX or commuter workhorse is beside the point – it's simply one of the most exciting ways to get to work short of riding a personal submarine down the Thames.
City sensible
With the seatpost up, the Hooligan rides like a folding bike that doesn't fold. Its eight-speed hub gear setup is reliable and ranges wide enough for city riding. And the solid, large tyres give you plenty of cushioning over bumps, while rolling along without dragging too badly.
The only commuting catch is whether you can get that post up enough. Pushing six foot or more? Prepare for a hunt for a longer custom-built seatpost, or some serious knee pain for more than short rides.
Hooligan time
With the seatpost dropped a bit, the bike transforms into its namesake – a proper little thug. In this form, it's a semi-BMX with plenty of chuckability and enough toughness to mess about on.
The wide bars really help, but it's the low-slung carriage and fat tyres that really let you work the angles. The whole package encourages you to sling the tie off at six, stick some too-baggy jeans on and make the ride home a lot more fun than it has any right to be.
Still, pulling tailwhips and flips down the local skate park in your suit probably won't earn you cred with the locals so it pays to remember on the Hooligan – you're not as young as you used to be, and you don't bounce anymore.

Sharp Considering 38MW Solar Power Station in Northern Japan
By Jul 1, 2013-
Sharp Corp. (6753), a Japanese solar panel maker, is considering building a 38-megawatt solar power station in northern Japan.
The plant may be built in Tomakomai city, Hokkaido, Miyuki Nakayama, a Sharp spokeswoman, said by phone today, declining to confirm details included in a June 29 story in the Nikkei newspaper. No decision has been made on the plant, she said.
The station may cost more than 10 billion yen ($100 million) and start running as early as 2015, Nikkei reported, without saying where it got the information.

Dutch-Colonies-L ArchivesArchiver > Dutch-Colonies > 1999-01 > 0916927671
From: John H. Camp< >
Subject: Harris, Burger, Van Deusen (1688) - the ties that bind
Date: Thu, 21 Jan 1999 09:07:51 -0500
G'day fellow Colonials,
Just before toddling off to bed last night (which means I haven't had much
time to look into this) I came across the following:
20. Jacobus (Isaacs) VAN DEUSEN, son of Isaac Abrahamsen VAN DEUSEN; m. abt.
1688, Catharina BURGERS (BURGHARDT), dau. of Johannes Gerritsen BURGER
and Lysbeth CLAES, and their children were:
1. Jannetie, bp. 1689; sp. Lysbeth HARRIS, Jan HARRIS, Abraham ISAACS.
- from The Early Generations of the Van Deusen Family in America, by Louis
Hasbrouck Von Sahler, NYGBR, p. 154 (1899)
I was first struck by the sponsors to Jannetie's baptism. Jan HARRIS and
Lysbeth HARRIS are my ancestors (their daughter, Elisabeth, married as his
second wife Hendrick MANDEVILLE). Trouble is, I can't find where Jannetie
was baptised. A quick check of the Albany, New York, Brooklyn, Flatbush,
Kingston, Bergen, and Hackensack baptismal records yielded *nothing*. Does
anyone have anything in their notes about this child and her baptismal
And now on to Lysbeth HARRIS, the baptismal sponsor mentioned above. What do
we know about her?
a. Probably prior to the earliest date that records for the Reformed Dutch
Church of Albany exist (late 1683) she married Jean (aka Jan) HARRIS.
b. I don't have the date handy (which bothers me that I don't have it in my
notes <grumble>) but about 1699 she is thought to have married a second
time (in Albany) to Jean KERR, "bachelor, of Londonderry, Ireland, last
from Southampton."
c. Her partonymic was CLAESE.
d. She had five known children by Jan HARRIS:
(no birth or baptismal record exists for the first two children; all
others baptised at the Reformed Dutch Church of Albany)
1. Elizabeth HARRIS, married Hendrick MANDEVILLE.
2. Jan HARRIS, married Janntje NESSEPAT
3. Marie HARRIS, was bap. 22 Nov. 1685. Wit.: Robbert Sandersz, by
Gerritje Vile.
4. Willem HARRIS, was bap. 7 Apr. 1689. Wit.: Harmon Tomesz, by
Caterina Borger. He died young.
5. Willem HARRIS, was bap. 6 Sept. 1691. Wit.: Mr. Kint, Benoni Van
Corlar, and Lysbeth Van der Poel.
e. She was alive in 1705 when she acted as baptismal sponsor for one known
and one suspected grandchild (see below).
I now begin to wonder if she might not have been married first to Johannes
Gerritsen BURGER mentioned above. There is a *DEFINITE* BURGER presence in
the lives of the HARRIS children. As you can see above, Catharine BURGER
(called Caterine Borger in the baptismal record) acted as a sponsor to the
first Willem HARRIS above. But wait, there's more!
If you look at the children of Jan HARRIS and Jannetje NESSEPAT, we see:
[all baptised at the Reformed Dutch Church of New York]
Catharina HARRIS, was bap. 6 May 1705. Wit.: Leonard Leuwis and Elizabeth
Maria HARRIS, was bap. 24 Sept. 1707. Wit.: Gerret Burger and Saartje,
"s.h. vrou."
Johannes HARRIS, was bap. 12 Sept. 1708. Wit.: Pieter Burger and Catharina,
"s:huys vrou."
Johannes HARRIS, was bap. 2 Dec. 1709. Wit.: Pieter Burger and Maria Goederes.
Elizabeth HARRIS, was bap. 5 Jan. 1715. Wit.: Dirk Bensen and Catharina Van
Deurse. (I include this child on the thought that Catharina VAN DEUSEN is
really Catharina BURGER).
I also just happened to have the baptisms for Pieter BURGER and Catherina
DANIELS (HENNION) handy and saw the following:
[all baptised at the Reformed Dutch Church of New York]
Johannes BURGER, was bap. 13 May 1705. Wit.: Jan Herris Bakker and Elizabeth
Pieter BURGER, was bap. 1 Feb. 1708. Wit.: Jan Herres and Maritje Henjon,
Does anyone have any information on the family of Johannes Gerritse BURGER
and Lysbeth CLAES??? It would seem that if Lysbeth CLAES were born, say,
1650, and married Johannes BURGER in say 1670, she could have Catherina
shortly after her marriage and have her be of prime marrying age (abt. 17)
in 1688 (when she married Isaac Abrahamsen VAN DEUSEN). After a few more
children (Gerrit and Johannes seem to be the names most seen in conjunction
with each other) Johannes could have died and she could then have married
Jan HARRIS and still be in her child-bearing prime (albeit a bit passed the
peak). Her last child by this scenario would have been born when she was
about 41. All in all not a bad little bit of speculation for someone who
hasn't had time yet to really look into this. Of course I realize it is
only speculation :^)
Which is why I turn to you. Can anyone support or disprove this scenario
right off the bat? If so, you'll save me bunches of time and effort. If
not, I'll plug and chug merrily on my way and let any interested parties
know what I find in my travels.
Thanks for your time and consideration.
John H. Camp

read: Accepts User Input
A common use for user-created variables is storing information that a user enters in response to a prompt. Using
read, scripts can accept input from the user and store that input in variables. The
readbuiltin reads one line from standard input and assigns the words on the line to one or more variables:
[Five Linux predictions for 2013 and 14 of the most useful Linux websites]
$ cat read1 echo -n "Go ahead: " read firstline echo "You entered: $firstline" $ ./read1 Go ahead: This is a line. You entered: This is a line.
The first line of the read1 script uses

The probability is that both single and double reeds were at times used with the Greek aulos and the Roman tibia.
How then about makers of the flute (aulos) and players on the flute?
On a mosaic of Monnus in Trves10 is represented an aulos which also appears to have a beak-shaped mouthpiece.
The bore of the aulos was very much narrower than that of the clarinet.
This is more fully explained in the articles Clarinet and aulos.
A similar or still more rapid development took place in the flute (aulos).

I was injured in an elevator accident back in 2010. My case was both a personal injury and worker's compensation case so I dealt with both Dave Silverstein and Gabe Lependorf. I found both men to be quite professional, caring, and determined to work their hardest for your benefit. Not to give Dave less credit, however, workers comp is workers comp. However my personal injury case was a bit tricky. It seems that the State of New Jersey had come in and done an inspection on the elevator in which I was injured on just a few hours before my accident. I fractured the navicular in my left foot and after 6 months of wearing a "boot" I had to have an operation on it. The insurance company said all along it was a "no pay" because the State had done an inspection that day. Gabe Lependorf continued with my case through arbitration where I received an arbitration award. The defendant de novo'd the award so it looked lie we were going to have to go to trial. I was ready to give up on the case and Gabe told me to hold on. In the ninth hour, my case settled for the arbitration award. If it had not been for Gabe guiding me along I would have given up. I have now been injured again - I slipped on ice and fractured the humeral head and shaft of my left arm in a shopping center parking lot - and guess who my lawyers are? That's right, I went back to Gabe because of the outstanding work he did for me and his professionalism!

Hired this lawyer after seeing good reviews about him.
Before signing him as lawyer and until I sign he was acting so good and loyal..but that is not true later!..
Does not keep you informed.. Meeting happens just 10 minutes of any scheduled meetings with defendants.
Does not control his temper. Seems to be very aggressive when he does not have answers for questions I ask. Once he banged his bundle of book on table.
Was more inclined towards settling the case even though we had enough evidences.
Some how I felt he is close to defendant and was trying to make me accept.. Creates lots of negative thoughts.
He does not have guts to fight..rather tries for settlement highlighting -ve points.

Gabe represented me in a pesonal injury case back in 2008. I was injured on my job during an auto accident as I was delivering fed ex ground packages. I found Gabe to be very sincere and he gave the impression of always having my best interest, even when I got on his nerves. I had no knowledge of the personal injury world and I really had no trust for lawyers in that field from just listening to others talk. Gabe reassured my knowledge and faith with a pleasant experience and a significant settlement. Thanks again Gabe!

My oldest son did some research on line and suggested I use Gabe Lependorf to represent his younger brother, my then 19-year-old, son, who had gotten into some trouble after my husband/their dad died 2 years ago. We have not been sorry. Gabe is not only knowledgeable of the law, but is a very caring person, who does the utmost to represent his clients. He is the best!!!!!

Trustworthy, hardworking, smart and honest! What more can I say!
Posted by Sarah
What a great lawyer and a great guy! this guy is top of my list for recommendation! It couldn't have been a better experience or a better result!!!!
Posted by Denise
Mr. Lependorf is an excellent lawyer, a very good listner and has great patience. He worked tirelessly on my case until a favorable outcome was reached. I couldn't have had a better lawyer to handle my case.
Posted by A
Mr. Lependorf returned my call immediately and treated me and my son with great respect throughout our whole ordeal. He clearly had a sophisticated understanding of the laws pertaining to our case. He was helpful every step of the way and worth every penny. I would recommend Mr. Lependorf to anyone.
Posted by Stanley
Right from my very first meeting with Gabe I felt that I was in good hands and that my case would be well-handled. He really listened and understood my needs. He always returned my phone calls and, most importantly, he settled my case with a very good outcome. You can't go wrong using Gabriel Lependorf

Your correspondent Kate Brown is quite right to point out that the Youth Justice Board's 2006 report on the use of antisocial behaviour orders for young people has consistently been misused by the media (Letters, 2 August). As one of the authors of the report, I can confirm that the relevant finding from qualitative interviews with 22 parents (and 59 key professionals) of those given asbos was as follows: "Parents (and some professionals) commonly argued that asbos functioned as a 'badge of honour' rather than addressing the causes of the behaviour."
While not unimportant, this was what researchers refer to as a piece of "soft" evidence, as set against much more significant quantitative findings such as the fact that asbo measures were targeted at neighbourhoods containing highly disadvantaged groups, characterised by all those usual suspects: family breakdown and inconsistent supervision; previous abuse, bereavement and loss; educational difficulty and underachievement; and relatively few facilities catering for the needs of the 10-17 age group.
Parents and professionals who expressed concern about the "badge of honour" usually did so in the context that those on asbos needed proper support to counter these disadvantages, rather than a long list of prohibitions which some could not even remember, to help them replace their antisocial behaviour and teenage bravado with something rehabilitative, leading to stability and lawful achievement. Thankfully, for whatever reason, the present home secretary, Theresa May, has picked up this message, which was totally ignored by her Labour predecessor.
Your regular column, Bad science, points out the misleading claims of some research. Spare a thought for we researchers who strive to present our findings authentically, but frequently find them misrepresented by a media only interested in a quick soundbite.

Polls will open on Super Tuesday at 6:30 a.m. for the primary election in Guernsey County.
Perhaps most high profile among the local items confronting voters is the possible demunicipalization of Kimbolton. Registered voters in the village 112 reside there will decide if they will continue as an incorporated community, or if Liberty Township will assume control.
The issue must pass by a majority vote, as a tie will result in defeat, and issues are not subject to recounts.
Voters county-wide will decide a 1/2 mill six-year replacement levy for current expenses for the Cambridge-Guernsey County Health Department. The issue was defeated previously.
A local option for Cambridge Ward 4 precinct B for the Sunday carryout sales of wine and mixed beverages at the Exxon station and overlapping issues for the Noble Local, Ridgewood and Newcomerstown Exempted school districts will also appear on the ballots in certain precincts.
The names of several candidates for county positions will appear on the ballot. However, none are contested within either party. All will run unopposed by partisan candidates in the November general election. However, they may face challenges from independent candidates, whose filing deadline is March 1.
Voters will not, however, be using new electronic voting booths. The target date for the introduction of them here is the May 2005 primary election.
Extra training was given poll workers in preparation of the election, said Guernsey County Board of Elections Executive Director Jacqueline Malinak.
Voters will also cast their ballots for the Democratic and Republican candidates to the national presidential conventions.
Other partisan candidates to appear on the ballot include those for both United States and state Senate and House seats, Supreme Court justices, court of appeals judges and state Central Committee members.
Any voters uncertain of the precinct in which they are to vote, their polling location or with any other concern are asked to call their election boards, as follows:
Guernsey County (740) 432-2680
Noble County (740) 732-2057
Polls will close at 7:30 p.m.
Also to be decided will be county Central Committee members for both the Democratic and Republican parties. There will be only one contested race, however, between Edward Edwards and Mary E. Mallett for the Democratic seat in the Westland A precinct.
Seventeen-year-olds may vote in the election, provided they will turn 18 by the November general election. They may only vote on candidates, however, not issues.

Judicial Response to Terrorism: National Venues
By Cándido Conde-Pumpido Tourón
1. Terrorism is unfortunately one of the most overwhelming problems in Spain and compromises the peace and stability of the democratic state in an intolerable manner.
Its clearest manifestation is ETA, an armed organisation, nationalist in the extreme, which aims to impose the independence of the Basque country through violence and terror. Alongside its totally indiscriminate attacks on the civilian population or law enforcement officers, ETA also selects victims from amongst the ranks of the judiciary, journalists, politicians or peaceful citizens, on grounds of their non-nationalist ideas, using terror to forcibly dissuade society and individual citizens from opposing its methods and objectives. Over the last 25 years, ETA's terrorism has taken the lives of more than 800 people, including 24 children.
Terrorism does not constitute a form of war in the strictest sense, but rather a form of crime, whilst possessing specific characteristics which set it apart from ordinary crime. As political insurrections or coups d'etats, it is a threat to society: its intention is to change the existing political situation through violence. It is the terrorists who present their crimes as methods of war, whilst directing their attacks against civilian victims. It is the role of democratic governments, in their fight against terrorism, to decide whether they can accept this claim or whether they prefer to treat terrorists as perpetrators of a specific kind of crime.
In Spain, the fight against terrorism is not undertaken in a bellicose way, but as a specific chapter in the fight against crime, independent of the political problems it poses and which cannot be left to one side. This is why criminal law and the courts are essential instruments in the fight against terrorism.
2. In our country, an indictment on terrorist offences comes under the jurisdiction of the Assize Court, called the Audiencia Nacional, a specialised body of jurisdiction, based in Madrid, whose jurisdiction covers all offences committed throughout the whole of the national territory. It is an ordinary court, a civil tribunal made up of professional judges, members of the judiciary, appointed by the Judicial Service Commission in compliance with predetermined legal criteria, who are irremovable and answerable only to the law. The tribunal is independent from the executive and, hence, the government exerts no influence upon it whatsoever. In no circumstances are such prosecutions left to ordinary juries, given the risks involved.
There are fundamentally three advantages of this specific jurisdiction: 1) centralisation, the criteria can thus be unified and some distance be taken from the place of the conflict; 2) specialisation, enabling a more in-depth knowledge of the problems surrounding the prosecution of terrorist acts and improving efficacy and 3) security, which can be stepped up as protection is concentrated around one single site and a limited number of judges.
The judicial investigation of terrorist trials is carried out by the central investigative tribunals which are also specialised bodies based in Madrid with jurisdiction over the whole of Spain. They are responsible for directing and supervising the police investigation, gathering evidence in preparation for the judgment and authorising methods to counter terrorism which may restrict fundamental freedoms such as, for example, searches of places of residence and telephone tapping.
The judicial investigation also enjoys a clear advantage compared to other regimes: depositions, made with every guarantee of confidentiality before the judge and in the presence of the defence lawyers, can be used as evidence for the judgment in cases where the witnesses are unable to appear in court as they have died, are abroad or in an unknown location, as quite frequently happens in complex trials dealing with terrorism or organised crime.
The decision handed down by the tribunal of the Audencia Nacional is subject to appeal in the Supreme Court in the same conditions as any other ruling, whereas appeals on points of law come under the criminal chamber, of which I am a member, with no specialisation.
3. The procedural rules are basically the same as in ordinary prosecutions, respecting the guarantee of the right to a defence and the principle of the presumption off innocence. The rules of evidence are identical.
Until 1988, there was special legislation in place but since then (LO 4/1988 of 25 May), matters linked to terrorism are dealt with by the Penal Code and the ordinary Criminal Procedural Code. This does not imply that we are no longer according terrorism the special treatment it deserves, as the law is the most precious tool of a state based on the rule of law in facing up to the manifestations of crime; as terrorist behaviour is a very specific form of crime, it is necessary to apply the law in order to establish specific investigative means or ways in which to preserve evidence.
The respect of constitutional guarantees is not incompatible with efficacy and this is possible if the penal and procedural instruments are adapted in the best way possible to the challenges thrown up by the fight against terrorism.
The Spanish Constitution expressly provides for the possibility of restricting detention on remand, the right to the inviolability of private residences and to the confidentiality of communications in terrorist cases. In developing this prevention, the legislation permits an extension of 48 hours in addition to the 72 hours generally established, with a court order. The police forces are also authorised to listen to communications and proceed to search private residences without a court order, but within 72 hours these extraordinary measures must be confirmed or rejected by the investigating judge.
These specific measures have been envisaged for investigations which apply to other forms of organised crime as well; the use of masked agents (LO 5/1999 of 13 January) or the granting of lighter sentences to so called "grasses", in other words to members of the organisation who collaborate with the police and judicial authorities.
4. Terrorist offences are established as such in a specific section of the 1995 Penal Code. Following a period of legal amendments and changes, it was felt that the offence of terrorism should be punished as such, under this specific heading and not simply as an aggravated form of a classic crime.
Those persons who may be sanctioned as terrorists are those who belong to, work for or collaborate with armed groups or groups or organisations whose objective is to subvert the constitutional order or severely destabilise public law and order, and also those who commit the offences of: destruction; arson; attacks against individuals, arms and munitions depots; possession or storage of explosive, inflammatory, incendiary or asphyxiating substances, devices or their components; the fabrication of, trafficking in, transport, supply or installation of such materials or devices.
In reality, the definition of terrorism is very similar to that adopted by the European Union in the Council's Common Position of 27 December 2001, on the application of specific measures to combat terrorism.
It should be stressed that collaboration with terrorism by persons who, without becoming integrated into the organisation, provide assistance in whatever form, is punished in a specific way (Art. 576 Penal Code 95). The Spanish Supreme Court, in its ruling of 10 October 1997, which I have been asked to present, established the essence of the offence of collaboration with an armed group as making available to an organisation of which the methods are known, resources of any kind that the organisation would have more difficulty in obtaining without this assistance. Collaboration exists from the point in time that any of the organisations activities are facilitated (infrastructure, internal communication, organisation, economic resources, transport, propaganda, etc.) even if the assistance provided does not directly contribute to acts of violence. It is not membership nor ideological support which is sanctioned, but the resources made available to any violent organisation for it to pursue its objectives through engendering terror and death, whilst there exist in a state based on a constitution and the rule of law peaceful and democratic ways in which to promote any political message.
Explicit sanctions also exist for economic cooperation and money laundering, following the line of Council Regulation (EC) n° 2580/2001 of 27 December 2001, on imposing certain specific restrictive measures directed against certain persons and entities to fight against terrorism, or United Nations Security Council Resolution 1373 (2001) of 28 September, which adopted a certain number of strategies to combat terrorism, in particular, the financing of terrorism.
Sentences for terrorist offences may be up to 30 years imprisonment. The death penalty does not exist, it was abolished by the Constitution in 1978 and we do not have life imprisonment.
5. Spain currently holds the presidency of the European Union for six months. For the Spanish Presidency, the fight against terrorism represents a fundamental priority, given that Europe cannot allow the presence of intolerant groups within its territory, groups which only know to combat pluralism through terror, weapons and death.
The last half of 2001 saw important progress made, such as the European arrest warrant, a uniform definition of the offence of terrorism, the regulation on the financing of terrorism and the elaboration of a list of all organisations which work through and for terrorism. These six months, the Spanish Presidency is working to establish joint investigative teams and to draft a strategic document on the threat posed by terrorism to the European Union. The objective of these activities is to encourage police and judicial cooperation between Member States. Stepping up the material and human resources of Europol and the consolidation of the information services are priorities.
It is clear that, from the judicial point of view, we must permanently seek to modify criminal and procedural provisions on terrorism and update them to deal with the new political and social situations which have emerged over recent years. Terrorist behaviour is evolving and seeking to elude the application of these rules, benefiting from all flaws or complications in interpretation, so laws and court practice must also adapt, in order to provide an effective response to these new demands emanating form legal order, equipped with precise and appropriate instruments.
These legal instruments must, all the same, be bound by the limits which characterise a democratic society and constitute our great moral superiority over terrorism: the respect of Human Rights, guarantees as to the right to a defence and the principles of a fair, legal trial. We must not succumb to the temptation to take short cuts, that is to use methods which recognise neither law nor states based on the rule of law. If terrorists seek to destroy our system of freedoms, we cannot accept that they indirectly achieve their goal by flouting our system of guarantees.
In the fight against terrorism, the courts are bound to deploy a maximum of energy and efficacy in investigating and prosecuting these criminal activities. And to do so by always using the law and justice as weapons, guaranteeing the respect of Human Rights which characterise our system of freedoms.

Murphy, suffering from a chest infection, was not at his best but neither was his opponent who made numerous mistakes during the match.
Wattana, 6-3 down after the first session, won the 10th thanks to a 63 break, but a mistake in the next cost him dear, having made a 55.
Murphy wrapped up the next three to book his place in the second round.
The victorious player said his illness was causing him trouble against Wattana, but warned there was more to come from him.
"I got half an hour sleep the night before. My head is hurting, my throat is sore and I can't get my breath." said Murphy.
"That's a good win without making a 60 break. On Thursday, if I feel a lot better I could cause some damage.
"My tactical game is better. If I get my potting boots on then look out."

Young nigga move that dope
Aye move that dope, aye move that dope
Young nigga move that dope
Young nigga, y'all nigga move that dope
Young nigga move that dope
Aye move that dope, Aye move that dope
Young nigga move that dope

Big body black Benz hogging two lanes
Big, lack heat hot as two blue flames
Young nigga move that dope
Nigga, move that hard, nigga, move that soft
Nigga, move that raw, nigga, get that off
Pushers be pushing, dealers be slanging
Banana clip on the bottom of the stick hanging
And I'm riding with that thing too, show you what my name do
Took a rough left quicker than I came through
Living legend in the kitchen chefing
While the sunlight bouncing off my wrist and Chevy
Thug nigga, drug dealer, none realer, they just rebels
I'm the entrée, main course, they just samples
Two dice, three dice, major gambles
Woodgrain in the whip like it came with campers
[Verse 2: Pharrell]
Me, I try to leave the best for later
But Pusha tried to put me on the respirator
The old Skateboard P, that's your favorite
Me and twenty girls doin' yoga naked
Frequency high, like a spaceship
She say that she like it and she's been exposed
The Gandalf hat and the weird ass clothes
That's Comme des Garçons and the Buffalo
Young nigga move that dope [?] move that ho
When I move that rope I can move your ho
When she hit a motherfucking note from her throat
When I sing la, la, la on Ferrari
Red on red light, the imperial army
Mami, I am sorry, that was just my ego on me
Women's my army, surrounded, they always be on me
Just want that peace like they Ghandi
Close my eyes, pray to the omnificent
Just to wake up the insomniacs
Let me help you lift your shit
Hit it right and ignite your shit
See it, build it, sell it, IPO, but don't swipe your shit
