Reports of corporate data leaks, lost laptops, and misplaced backup tapes are so commonplace that many no longer warrant a mention in the press. So common are corporate data leaks of one form or another that only the multimegaton events -- TJX, the Veterans Administration, or DuPont -- get covered.
But the data leak problem sure has gotten the attention of corporate boardrooms, even if the media has moved on. For proof of that, look no further than the gaggle of data leak prevention companies that has popped up in recent years. We've already heard this month about startup Provilla, as well as Varonis. Code Green Networks is another aspiring startup that hopes to bring high-end data leak prevention technology to smaller and midsize corporations.
Founded in late 2004, Code Green is the brainchild of Shreekampt and Sudhakar Ravi, both co-founders of security appliance maker Sonicwall. Started with seed money from its two founders, the company has taken in $32 million in venture funding to date and now has 65 employees, says Chip Hay, senior vice president for marketing and customer care at Code Green.
Data leaks aren't just bad publicity for companies, they're also expensive, Hay says. Citing a recent study by the Ponemon Institute, Hay says that lost customer records can cost as much as $182 each to remediate, not counting penalties and legal ramifications from the growing matrix of state and federal data protection and consumer privacy laws. Those factors have stoked enterprise interest in data protection products.
"The big change for us in the last nine months is that we've gone from talking to companies who want to get educated, and now they've decided that [they] want to put data leak prevention in place," Hay says.
Companies -- especially in fields such as high technology -- are also paying attention to protecting their core intellectual property, especially with outsourcing and complex business partner relationships exposing more and more data, he says.
Code Green's flagship product is a content inspection appliance that's installed at egress points on customer networks. The device can inspect SMTP, e-mail, FTP, and IM traffic, among others, and can run in-line to block suspicious traffic or in asynchronous mode to monitor actions and policy enforcement, Hay says.
At the heart of Code Green's technology are algorithms that were originally designed to spot plagiarism in different samples of writing, Hay says. That technology, which analyzes content bit patterns, allows Code Green to spot sensitive information without relying on fallible dictionaries of terms, and without regard to the language used to express the sensitive information. That, and the product's support for more than 400 document formats, allows Code Green to sell into markets like Japan and China, Hay says.
That's increasingly important, amid concern about rampant intellectual property theft -- some of it state sponsored. For example, one Code Green customer recently reported finding proprietary manufacturing process documents published in a Chinese language publication, Hay says.
The company also prides itself on its product's capability to parse message traffic from the sea of Web-based e-mail providers, where no standard message formats are used. Code Green has also forged strategic partnerships with vendors such as Voltage Security for e-mail encryption and with Centennial Software to reach the SMB market.
A new version of the Code Green appliance due out soon will offer enhanced data fingerprinting for reading data in relational databases, and structured and flat files -- as well as better content discovery features. The product already sports connectors to Oracle and Microsoft SQL server and EMC's Documentum content management platform.

Disposable maps : ad hoc location sharing
Seeburger, Jan & Schroeter, Ronald (2009) Disposable maps : ad hoc location sharing. In Kjeldskov, Jesper, Paay, Jeni, & Viller, Stephen (Eds.) OZCHI 2009 Proceedings, Australian Computer-Human Interaction Special Interest Group, Melbourne, pp. 370-380.
Conference Paper
(PDF 313kB)
Published Version.
The gathering of people in everyday life is intertwined with travelling to negotiated locations. As a result, mobile phones are often used to rearrange meetings when one or more participants are late or cannot make it on time. Our research is based on the hypothesis that the provision of location data can enhance the experience of people who are meeting each other in different locations. This paper presents work-in-progress on a novel approach to share one's location data in real-time which is visualised on a web-based map in a privacy conscious way. Disposable Maps allows users to select contacts from their phone's address book who then receive up-to-date location data. The utilisation of peer-to-peer notifications and the application of unique URLs for location storage and presentation enable location sharing whilst ensuring users' location privacy. In contrast to other location sharing services like Google Latitude, Disposable Maps enables ad hoc location sharing to actively selected location receivers for a fixed period of time in a specific given situation. We present first insights from an initial application user test and show future work on the approach of disposable information allocation.

RYA Olympic Classes National Ranking Series flying start
by RYA on 22 Sep 2011
RYA Olympic Classes National Ranking Series 2011 .
The RYA Olympic Classes National Ranking Series 2011 got off to a flying start during the weekend of 17-18 September as the Weymouth and Portland National Academy (WPNSA) witnessed some intense racing across four of the Olympic and Paralympic classes.
The weekend was the first of the two events contested as part of the RYA National Ranking Series in Weymouth and welcomed both seasoned campaigners and new faces as the sailors battled it out in breezy conditions on the Saturday followed by much lighter winds on the Sunday.
In the men's 470 fleet, it was a two-horse race across the six race series between Skandia Team GBR's Luke Patience/Stuart Bithell and Nic Asher/Eliot Willis. With a substantial points difference to the rest of the fleet, it was Luke Patience/Stuart Bithell who managed to pip the 2008 and 2006 470 World Champions to the post as they notched up four race wins compared to that of their 470 counterparts who took two race wins to finish in second overall. Phil Sparks/David Kohler ended the event in third overall.
Hannah Mills/Saskia Clark, who were both officially selected to compete for Team GB at the London 2012 Olympic Games yesterday (20 September), continued their fine form to finish first in the 470 female fleet and eighth overall. Skandia Team GBR Development squad sailors Sophie Weguelin/Sophie Ainsworth followed up in second and 10th overall, while Amy Seabright/Eilidh Mcintyre finished third and 12th overall.
The 49er class was once again a jostle for top sport between the two top boats with Dylan Fletcher/Alain Sign taking event victory over John Pink/Rick Peacock due to count back. Dave Evans/ Ed Powys finished the weekend in third, level on points with fourth place Skandia Team GBR Transitional Squad sailors James Peters/Ed Fitzgerald.
Giles Scott was yet again dominant in the Finn class as he racked up five out of six race wins to secure regatta honours in emphatic style. Development Squad sailor Mark Andrews clinched a regatta second just one point ahead of third place Andrew Mills.
While the Finn supremos occupied the top three places by some margin, fourth fifth and sixth was an intense battle in its own right between some of the nation's promising young stars of the future. James Hadden, the top ranked Junior in the UK finished in fourth, only one point above John Greenwood. Not far behind in sixth was newcomer George Cooper who picked up an impressive bullet in the final race of the regatta.
Meanwhile in the Paralympic classes, Helena Lucas clinched two out of three race wins to take event victory ahead of Meagan Pascoe who finished one point behind in second.
Barrie Edgington, RYA Olympic Development Squad Manager, commented: 'It was a great start the to the RYA Olympic Classes National Ranking Series with big breeze and big names dominating, and also first timers making their debut in Olympic Classes. The final round in October will see the RSX and Sonar classes joining the action and the competition for overall places in all classes will no doubt be fierce.'
The final weekend for all seven Olympic and Paralympic classes will commence on the 15-16 October and will conclude what has been a highly charged season of Olympic Classes racing. As well as competing on the world class 2012 waters of Weymouth and Portland, RYA grants and qualification for key 2012 international regattas are also at stake.

Like Frank, I have a serious problem with companys that don't directly support their products. I've seen FW-1 VARs decide that they didn't want to be in the firewall business anymore, leaving sites to hunt up a new reseller. I've been told that Checkpoint will support places under these circumstances, but it still leaves quite a gap. If the VAR tanks and the administrator leaves as well, a lot of sites will be left in the dark. Vendors who don't offer direct product support don't even make my list. Being able to notify customers of problems and not doing so is a different animal than not being able to notify them. I'm just not certain that we see the same one as a larger problem.

NEVADA CITY, Cal (Nov. 3)
Nevada City's 100-year-old Jewish cemetery has been formally rededicated after months of work of restoration. Like other Jewish cemeteries in northern California, the Nevada City burial grounds contain the graves of Jewish pioneers who had a major role in the commercial and industrial development of the state.
The cemetery was restored through the work of the Commission for the Restoration of Pioneer Jewish Cemeteries. Mel Altman of Sacramento, is commission chairman. He took a leading part in the rededication ceremonies at which Rabbi Nathaniel Simkind of Richmond conducted religious services.

Securing the Border Is No Easy Feat
Securing America's borders is no easy matter. Undocumented workers do not just walk across the borders but come in legally, by car, air, and ship, and then overstay their visas. Some estimate that 40 percent of undocumented workers came to the country legally and did not leave after their visas expired.
Coping with visa overstays, as they are known, has different challenges than stopping people from crossing the border. To keep people from crossing without permission, governments can build fences, and patrol with security forces, video cameras, and drones. Countries as different as Israel and North Korea manage to do this-Israel to keep potential terrorists out, North Korea to keep its people in.
What is far harder is making sure that people who enter legally also leave. People come on business, for tourism, as students, and we want to encourage them to do so. But we also want to make sure they do not stay on expired visas.
The bipartisan Senate immigration bill, the Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act, contains provisions that would improve security as well as granting provisional work status to 11 million undocumented workers after background checks and payment of penalties. The bill funds barriers and police protection at the borders, as well as requiring biometric data on immigrants.
Knowing who is in the country is vital because America is engaged in a global war on terrorism and many want to do us harm. (See World Trade Center attacks; shoe bomber; underwear bomber; Times Square bomber; Benghazi attacks; Boston bombers; etc.)
Opponents are trying any way they can to derail the bill, and they may succeed. Last week the Heritage Foundation issued a discredited report stating that the immigration bill would cost America $6.3 trillion. Numerous other sources, including the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office and President George W. Bush's Council of Economic Advisers, concluded the opposite, that immigration would raise additional revenue. Jason Richwine, one of the authors of the Heritage report, resigned on Friday after derogatory comments about Hispanics were found in his Harvard doctoral dissertation.
The latest slur on the Senate bill is the false accusation that it requires biometric data to be collected from U.S. citizens and placed in a massive government database. The collection of biometric data from U.S. citizens by federal or state governments is not in the Senate bill.
The immigration bill attempts to make sure that those who enter legally can be checked against registers of international criminals and terrorists. Before applying for provisional legal status, and again before applying for temporary resident status, the bill requires that immigrants submit biometric data, such as fingerprints and iris scans, so that they can be identified to authorities.
These provisions are being attacked by liberal and conservative opponents of the bill, such as the American Civil Liberties Union and the Competitive Enterprise Institute. CEI analyst David Bier stated in Wired.com and on his organization's blog that the bill funds a biometric database of all Americans.
But in a thorough search of the bill, I found no reference to collection of biometric data from American citizens. In a phone conversation with me on Monday, Bier cited a provision on page 468 of the bill that provides funding for states to enable them to share drivers' license information with the Department of Homeland Security. Bier told me that a photo was defined as biometric information under 46 United States Code 70123.
The definition of mobile biometric identification under 46 USC 70123 states that "For the purposes of this section, the term "biometric identification" means use of fingerprint and digital photography images and facial and iris scan technology and any other technology considered applicable by the Department of Homeland Security."
The law's language is poorly worded and easy to misunderstand, so Bier read "fingerprint and digital photography images" as just digital photography. It is clear that a photo is not biometric information. Otherwise, any photo album would be a collection of biometric information. Biometrics refers to certain physiological traits that are unique to individuals, such as fingerprints, iris scans, or DNA.
The bill proposes funding to enable the federal government to purchase drivers' license photos from states for the E-Verify program, used by some employers to check whether job applicants are legal. But this is not the same as funding a biometric database for U.S. citizens.
Furthermore, under the bill, the federal government can only access state drivers' license photos if the state and the federal government enter into an agreement to share them. It would be unconstitutional for Congress to mandate individual states to turn this information over to the federal government.
Under the expanded E-Verify system job applicants without photos will be asked questions about their work history and places of residence. This is to prevent theft of their Social Security numbers and identities.
In 2012 there were 409,000 employers enrolled in E-Verify, and 20.2 million cases checked in E-Verify. Total nonfarm payroll employment in 2012 was 133.7 million, so a maximum of15 percent of jobs were checked by E-Verify (some positions might have been checked multiple times before being filled). However, looking at E-Verify as a percent of new hires, 52 million in 2012, shows that as many as 38 percent of new hires were checked by the system. Larger employers are more apt to use the system, looking for a safe harbor to shield themselves from liability.
E-Verify is not foolproof. In a study performed by the Maryland consulting firm Westat, based on data from September 2007 to June 2008, more than half of undocumented workers run through the E-Verify system received a false positive of work eligibility. In other words, the system picked up about half of undocumented workers. With new revelations about the role of the Internal Revenue Service in dealing with tax-exempt organizations, Americans' trust in government institutions will likely reach a new low.
A more effective way to keep track of foreigners visiting America would be to make vastly more visas available (with the collection of biometric information) and make it simpler for holders of visas to renew them when they expire-just as is the case with drivers' licenses. Practically anyone can get a driver's license, and renewing it takes a trip to the Department of Motor Vehicles and payment of a five-year fee. If the visas could be renewed online, or at any Federal Express office, compliance would be relatively high. Immigrants would not receive any government benefits, and would be charged for the renewal of the visas.
If the visas were not renewed, the government could levy a fine-just like fines for driving with an expired license. A penalty of $100 daily for the first three months and $300 per day thereafter would be a deterrent. People would know that if they were caught they would have to pay and that the fee would be a liability if they wanted to stay or reenter the country.
By broadening the availability of visas, making renewal simple, and fining those who are in the country without them, it would be easier to keep track of those who overstay their visas. Coupled with more fencing and border patrols, these measures would strengthen American security.

"Hi, sharing my depressing past was never easy, but I feel it becomes a moral obligation for me to spread the good word around about such miraculous product which completely changed my life. I know there are a whole lot of people like me who are spoiling their lives either not sharing their problems or spending money over useless methods or products. The impotency, which me and my partner felt was forever, made my life a living hell. It first started with weak erection and soon transformed into a completely flaccid state even in the most arousing scenarios. Then someone told me about this wonderful product and I actually tried it. At first I felt it is not going to work, but within 20 days of use I started gaining my erection back, and now it is almost as good as before, thanks to POWER MUSLI PRASH."

"I was almost on the verge of committing suicide. I was so quick on bed that before I could actually start the act, I was finishing. First my wife and I felt that it′ll take some time for me to perform as our marriage was new and we both used to be nervous. However, days passed and I was not getting any better, just was not able to hold ejaculation. Gradually my wife started commenting on it and I was almost in a state of depression with nobody to discuss and started getting suicidal ideations. Then a friend of mine shared his own story where he himself suffered the same issue, which improved hugely with the use of POWER MUSLI PRASH. I did my research and found that Museli is beneficial in premature ejaculation and decided to give it a try. After a month of use, now I am sustaining considerably well, it is like a new life altogether!! "

"Hello, I am Rupali. The stressors of being a homemaker along with a hectic professional life was taking its toll on my relationship with my husband. On top of it, rigors of a pregnancy and further a cesarean section made me completely reluctant to have sex. I used to become so drained at the end of the day that there wasn′t any will to engage in physical intimacy. I could actually see my life falling apart with my husband spending more and more time out of home and I started feeling his wandering ways leading him to reach out to other women. I tried to confront him and he said that he is looking out for what he isn′t getting at home. I was stunned but realized later that he was right in a way, and started looking for ways to regain my desire. I stumbled upon this miraculous product over internet, with time running out, I immediately decided to use it and IT WORKED!!! Within days of use, I felt my desires burning again, my hubby was almost stunned seeing me changed completely. This is nothing short of a miracle!!"
- Mumbai, INDIA
"Sex was one thing missing from my life. I had money, a great job, a great family, but I neither had the desire nor capacity to enjoy sex. Erection was not sustaining, and after starting I almost immediately used to end. My wife, being a good homely woman she is, never complained. But I started feeling guilty about it that I am not giving her something which is her right. Initially when I came to know about this product, I was not convinced. Latter when I saw many people discussing it frequently, I reluctantly decided to give it a try. I would be lying if I do not say that I was hugely surprised to see the results, my wife actually realized the difference without me even pointing it out and with she being so shy, her words were a huge compliment. I recommend all to give it a try, even if you are without any problem as age sooner or later will catch up and start showing its effect and it is better to keep self ready and enjoy life to fullest."

Superb colour just loved it...Nice light glittery pinkish shade

Loved the shade but hated the nail paint
Was so impressed when I put on the first coat of this nail paint. The color is so rich and metallic.
But the nail paint is really bad. Worse than the local nail paints I have seen. All it took was 2 hours for the nail paint to start chipping off.
24hours later most of the nail paint was gone
Not buying again.

Faces Hi Shine Nail Enamel in Bombay lights is very pretty, soft, almost silvery gold glitter polish. I ordered it hoping for a yellower gold, but I like this.
This is the 2nd bottle of nail varnish I will be using from Faces. I was very satisfied with the longevity and chip resistance of the previous bottle of gold glitter I used and assume that this one will be just as good.

On the Verge: Herb Maze
Presenter: Costa Georgiadis, 21/04/2012
SERIES 23 Episode 04
UPDATE: Since starting on his street-side community garden four weeks ago, so much has changed on Costa's verge including:
- The no-dig vegetable garden is now booming
- Installation of a water tank for watering the verge gardens
- Planting a border of Vetiver grass (Chrysopogon zizanioides) to retain water
- Planting local natives to screen the verge from the nearby main road
This week Costa is planting a herb garden on a new section of the verge.
The site is sunny, exposed and very well drained, perfect for Mediterranean herbs.
Costa is laying it out as a maze to get the local kids interested and keep them engaged with the garden.
The chooks have been working in their tractor for a couple of weeks on the area to be planted, removing weeds and fertilising.
The garden is built using Costa's favourite method: a no-dig garden. He puts down thick layers of newspaper, manure, lucerne, compost, and finally, straw as mulch.
To enclose and protect the area, Costa is planting hedges, spacing the plants at 400mm intervals along the outside borders of the maze including:
- Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis)
- Lavender (Lavandula sp.)
- Lad's Love (Artemisia abrotanum)
The paths through the maze are formed by mini-avenues of plants that each produce a fragrance when they are brushed against including:
- Pineapple Sage (Salvia elegans)
- Wormwood (Artemisia absinthium)
- Perennial Basil (Ocimum sp.)
- Curry Plant (Helichrysum italicum)
- Passionfruit Daisy (Tagetes lemmoni).
The alleyways all lead to the centre of the maze which is planted with delicious annual and perennial culinary herbs including:
- Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare)
- Oregano (Origanum sativum)
- Continental Parsley (Petroselinum crispum cv.)
- Native Parsley (Apium prostratum)
- Curly-leafed Parsley (Petroselinum crispum cv.)
- Thyme (Thymus officinalis)
Once the plants establish they will provide an abundance of useful, fresh herbs for everyone in the street and plenty of fun getting to them.

But while Leffelman's playinthecity.blogs.com doesn't mention it, the 23-year-old waitress and aspiring journalist is getting a little help from Milwaukee's tourism office: a year's worth of high-speed Internet access, $1,700 in computer and camera equipment and free access to many of the outdoor diversions she'll be describing in her twice-weekly musings. (Related story: Top travel blogs)
Milwaukee is one of several destinations trying to harness the blogosphere, a virtual universe laced with unvarnished, off-the-cuff comments produced by an estimated 12 million diarists. And rather than simply monitoring bloggers' opinions, travel marketers are tapping them as paid evangelists.
Last month, Pennsylvania's tourism site, visitpa.com, launched six blogs written by "real people" taking road trips across the state. Accompanied by digital photos and videos, the diaries cover such diverse pursuits as antique shopping, mountain biking and attending a NASCAR event. The authors — a family of four, a history buff, and a Harley-Davidson rider among them — receive $1,000 for each of three journeys they'll write about this summer.
Minneapolis' visitor and convention bureau, meanwhile, is soliciting applications for three culturally diverse "online tour guides" — a heterosexual couple, a family with children, and a gay male couple or group of gay male friends — who will post journal entries on the bureau's Web sites at least once a week for six months. The bloggers' payback: a "package of fun" that includes hotel rooms, event tickets and gift certificates.
Though sponsored blogs may be anathema to some Web purists, they're part of an effort to bypass mainstream media in favor of "customer-driven content" that ranges from online travel communities like IgoUgo to guest-written hotel reviews on TripAdvisor.
The Milwaukee blog is "a hands-off relationship, and if Erin has a negative experience, we expect her to record that," spokesman David Fantle says.
But whether such sponsored efforts will translate to new visitors is debatable. Business Week's Blogspotting columnist, Stephen Baker, noted that some of VisitPa.com's early posts are "brochures traveling under another name. A dose of tedium, frustration, or fear would make them more believable."

Small-time actress Mink Brar, who was a participant in the recently concluded reality show Bigg Boss 6, had reportedly spotted him roaming in semi-nude condition in the suburban Andheri recently. She had first contacted Jagdish's daughter actress Antara Mali, but later called actor Salman Khan for help. However, Jagdish said he just laughed at the matter when he first heard about it.
Talking to PTI, Jagdish Mali said, "I was laughing when I heard all this. I am not angry with Mink or anyone. I am not thinking of taking any legal action or issuing notice to anyone." The ace photographer added, "I am perfectly fine mentally as well as financially. I don't suffer from any kind of psychological ailment. I am diabetic."
Jagdish Mali also said that he has been going for daily walks since the past thirty years. He said, "That day also I had gone for a walk. I walked one and half kilometres and felt my sugar level had dipped. I went to a shop to have a chocolate. I guess with chocolate smeared on my face I might have looked odd."
However, Jagdish Mali, who started his career in the 1980s, has worked with most of the big names in Bollywood. He alleged that Mink might have done this to gain publicity. "I don't know why my name was dragged. I know her (Mink). I had made her portfolio 20 years back, but had not met her after that. I think she did all this for publicity," he said.

A website is often the first way a potential client encounters your company. In the past, they may have turned to the Yellow Pages, but now the fastest way to get the products and services you need is by doing a web search. But what happens after they land on your web page? Do they take a risk and give you a call, or do they click away and move on to the next site?
The decision they make relies heavily on how effective your web copy is. That's why it's so important to put your best foot forward with professionally written copy — yet many companies make the mistake of trying to take the task on themselves. After all, you did well in high school English, right? Or maybe Jane in HR really enjoys writing. But if you want copy that will get potential clients to pick up the phone and order, you want to hire a professional for the job. The money you invest will be well worth it.
A good web writer…
…provides objectivity. You know your business inside and out. You understand the state of the industry, and you know exactly what your customers want. So why shouldn't you just write the copy yourself? Often being too close to a topic makes it harder for you to explain. Things that may seem obvious to you aren't for a layman. You may inadvertently forget to get basic information across because you're too busy focusing on what makes you unique. A good copywriter will take the expertise and information you share and incorporate that into the copy, but he or she will also provide an outside prospective. What might be missing? What might be unclear?
…will take the time to do it right. If you take the task on yourself, it's unlikely you'll be able to simply drop all your other responsibilities to focus on the project. The same is true if you give the project to someone else at the company. A professional writer has the time to thoroughly research and think through each word and idea that will appear on your site.
…is a grammar nerd. One of the surefire ways to lose a potential customer is to come across as unprofessional, and spelling and grammar errors on your site will do just that. Even if you decide to tackle a first draft of the copy yourself, it's a good idea to hire a professional editor to clean it up for you.
…can help you organize your ideas. You've got a lot you want to say, but you're not sure where to start. Or maybe you don't have any clue what your website should cover. No problem! Professional writers deal with this all the time, helping their clients to develop their ideas and turn them into polished copy.
…will get to the point. Good web copy is short. People often don't read every word on a page; instead, they skim. That's why it's important to make every word count, something a good copywriter is adept at doing.
…is reasonably priced. You don't have to pay an arm and a leg to get professionally written copy. Most writers have low overhead costs. After all, they usually just need a laptop, an internet connection, and a desk to get their job done. But beware of writers that charge very low prices. They may spend very little time on your project, and that's not what you want. Your goal is to find a professional who has the experience and knowledge needed to make your company look good.
Before hiring a professional, ask to see writing samples. Do they have specific experience in your field? This can be an advantage, but it isn't always a necessary requirement. A good web writer is a quick study and able to write about many fields. When evaluating their portfolio, look for someone who has a lot of experience in your field or who has a wide breadth of experience writing about many topics effectively. Evaluate their style. Are they able to adapt it to each client's needs, or is it consistent and exactly what you are looking for?

(CNSNews.com) - Leaders in the pro-life and pro-family movement gave President George W. Bush's final State of the Union speech an "A" when it comes to causes championed by these groups.
Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, told Cybercast News Service that Bush's last year in office could include some "very promising initiatives."
Perkins said he was pleased to hear Bush express his continued support for faith-based charitable choice, as well as the promise of adult stem cell research.
"Embryonic research is not only not viable, but unnecessary," Perkins said.
Janice Crouse, director and senior fellow at Concerned Women for America's Beverly LaHaye Institute, told Cyberspace News Service that over the next year Bush will continue his support for pro-life and pro-family issues.
"There are two areas where Bush has been a strong social conservative," said Crouse, who also is a former speech writer for former President George H.W. Bush. "One is judicial appointments. For that alone we owe him a debt of gratitude. (Samuel) Alito and (John) Roberts will really change the direction of the court."
She said Bush has also been consistent in his opposition to embryonic stem cell research.
"He said, 'I will not cross the moral line to use embryonic stem cell research,' and he was proven right," Crouse said, referring to recent scientific successes with adult stem cell research. "That was a big victory for the pro-life community."
Both Perkins and Crouse agreed that Bush's speech was shaped with history in mind.
"It was very clear the president was gearing his comments to his legacy as a compassionate conservative," Crouse said.
"Bush zeroed-in on the items that will be a part of his legacy," Perkins told Cybercast News Service, adding those items include almost seven years as commander-in-chief of a nation at war, efforts to make his 2002 tax cuts permanent, and his unwavering pro-life stance.
"He is steadfastly pro-life and in defending the unborn," Perkins said.
Perkins said in a statement issued by the Family Research Council about the speech that Bush's final year in office won't be a wash.
"President Bush, as would be expected, reflected on the last seven years," said Perkins. "However, he also let it be known that he was not accepting the lame duck status that the Democratic Leadership would unjustly paint him with."

Remember, remember the Fifth of November,
The Gunpowder Treason and Plot,
I know of no reason
Why Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot.
Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, t'was his intent
To blow up King and Parliament.
Three-score barrels of powder below
To prove old England's overthrow;
By God's providence he was catch'd
With a dark lantern and burning match.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, let the bells ring.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, God save the King!
November 5th is Guy Fawkes Night, the now 401 year old celebration of Guy Fawkes failure to destroy the British Parliament, King, and Aristocracy in a maelstrom of fire and stone. Immortalized in rhyme, idealized in film, and set down for the ages in countless works on the British regency, Fawkes and his Gunpowder Plot occupy a curious place in literature, politics, and history. In remembrance of what almost happened in November 5, 1605, thousands of Englishmen, New Zealanders , Canadians, and other former colonials around the world will celebrate the Gunpowder plot's failure amid bonfires and fireworks this evening - and while the political spark has gone out of the Plot Night celebrations, Guy Fawkes and his stash of powder in the cellar of Parliament still resonate throughout the scattered remnants of the British Empire.
Fawkes was a Catholic sympathizer in England at a time in British history when such allegiances could prove dangerous. James the First sat on the throne, and while some had hoped that his rule would see more tolerance towards Catholics, such was not to be the case. The 1605 plot sought to change this and place a Catholic - the nine year old Princess Elizabeth - on the throne. Though historical records are unclear, the Gunpowder plot's genesis likely lay with Robert Catesby and other Catholic dissenters. The now famous Guy Fawkes brought his knowledge of explosives and gunpowder to the plot and as it was he who was apprehended "burning match" in hand, the lore and literature surrounding the event centers upon the estranged bomb-maker.
Four hundred years changes a great deal and Fawkes has taken on a sort of folk-hero status in recent times. Even aside comic-books-turned-films like V For Vendetta, many see Fawkes as a sympathetic figure who lashed out at a government and monarch that lacked both credibility and legitimacy. James, after all, succeeded Elizabeth the First and brought an end to the Tudor dynasty. By comparison the Scottish upstart - famously termed "the wisest fool in Christendom" - did not fair well and his anti-Catholic policies, taste for political absolutism, financial largess, and other faults are widely regarded as the foundation for the English Civil War. In the intervening four centuries since the failure of the Gunpowder Plot the vilification of James has become the elevation of Fawkes; in and of itself this might be of interest only to historians, but in the wider context of the War on Terror, the long-view of the Gunpowder Plot reveals the impermanence of public opinion.
When Guy Fawkes died on January 31 of 1606 he was a British Bin Laden - reviled, hated, and condemned enthusiastically throughout the British Empire by those loyal to the crown, and justly so. Fawkes had struck at London, Parliament , the Monarchy, James the First, and everything that it was to be English. His attack came within a generation of the sailing of the Spanish Armada, on the heels of unthinkable brutality and horror wielded by the Church itself against Protestants on the continent . Fawkes's foiled plot showed that the British Channel could no longer insulate England from the troubles of mainland Europe and that the religious turmoil that engulfed the Continent could ignite in Britain as well.
Almost 400 years later, Osama Bin Laden would do the same to another global power, though his attack met with considerably more success. Nonetheless, the parallels are striking indeed and to a historian they raise an introspective question: what will our ancestors, 400 years hence, think of the events of 9-11, the "War on Terror," and the broader religious conflict in which the world is now embroiled?
It is in the immediacy of our grief and outrage that we have demonized Bin Laden; quite logically and rightfully so: the threat he and his ilk pose to American power, American wealth, and American lives can not be ignored. But with time the enormous value that we, as contemporaries, place upon those things will fade as will the importance of the self-proclaimed ideals for which the United States and Al Queda fight. It is difficult to imagine viewing the events of September 11 and the US reaction to it with such historical distance and absent the contemporary context: the personal immediacy, the rhetoric, and the politics that have consumed these past six years. Yet future historians, writers, and generations will do exactly that, and we should concern ourselves with the conclusions they will draw.
Fawkes was a traitor to his country, a terrorist (by any sensible definition), and a man who was willing to kill for political and religious ends. Yet the fog of four hundred years obscures much of that, and through that fog it is the images of Fawkes' torture, his botched execution, and the religious repression he suffered that endure. Another four hundred years will change the story of Guy Fawkes and it will change the story of Osama Bin Laden as well. While some might contest our means, we fight a war against terrorism for all of the right reasons. Yet it is our means and not our motives which will most reliably survive the test of time and it is those means by which future generations will judge our decisions and write our history. We must therefore ask: what sort of world are we building in which our actions cast America as "villain" and Bin Laden, Al Queda, and all that we fight against as a modern-day Guy Fawkes? What will it be to live in that world, four hundred years hence, on the Eleventh of September?

Tamar visits dropped after bug alert
Three groups of visitors called off trips to the new Tamar government headquarters this month, despite official pledges that the complex has been thoroughly disinfected after the discovery of potentially fatal bacteria.
The groups dropped their plans to see the new Legislative Council building in Admiralty after the contamination was made known.
They were among 12 tours scheduled for the seven days from Thursday, according to Legco. The cancellations came despite an assurance from the Secretary for Food and Health, Dr York Chow Yat-ngok, that all disinfection work was completed on Thursday and the headquarters were safe to work in.
Legionella pneumophila, the bacteria that causes legionnaires' disease, was found at 12 locations in the HK$5.5 billion complex, which opened in August.
The shock discovery has puzzled health experts. 'It is quite abnormal to find the bacteria in a new building, as it is usually found in old buildings and water pipes,' said a spokesman for Majestic Engineering, the pipe installation contractor for Tamar.
He said the design of the pipes was 'very common and normal', in response to Chow's comments that health experts would examine the design of the pipes.
Yesterday, a team of experts including University of Hong Kong microbiology professors Yuen Kwok-Yung and Samson Wong Sai-yin arrived at the complex to take more test samples from taps.
The Tamar administration wing is demanding that visitors wear masks and maintain personal hygiene.
One test sample from the toilet of the chief executive's office, six from the toilets of bureau chiefs, two from a cafe or canteen and two from the Legco building have returned positive results for legionella bacteria.
The latest location found to be contaminated was the office of Financial Secretary John Tsang Chun-wah, the Centre for Health Protection said, based on preliminary test results. The office is located on the 25th floor of the Central Government Offices' West Wing.
Chief Executive Donald Tsang Yum-kuen, who was on an official visit to Shanghai, dismissed fears that the new complex was not healthy and his own health might be affected.
The government has appointed Ruttonjee Hospital in Wan Chai to conduct checks for legionella on Tamar staff who feel unwell.

Maxmara has long been one of Italy's leading ready-to-wear companies, known for classic office and evening wear - its trademark is the camel coat.
These are clothes to be worn, rather than fashion for fashion's sake, in a palette of caramel, navy and burgundy, occasionally splashed with pink. There were crisp day dresses, silky tops to be worn under jackets, flattering kick-pleated skirts and safari style trouser suits.
There were daring touches - backless shirt dresses, pieces in pink faux snakeskin - but the classic, put-together look remains this label's strong suit.
Anna Molinari, on the other hand, once famously said: "When something is out of place, you think maybe this woman has been in bed with someone. And that's good."
Like many Italian fashion houses, Anna Molinari is a family business and the collection is now designed by Molinari's daughter, Rosselli Tarabini, 32. But like mother, like daughter - these clothes are seriously flirtatious.
"I Love You" was printed all over pieces ranging from slithery slip dresses to off-the-shoulder Brigitte Bardot tops, while floaty handkerchief hem dresses in lilac and pink were smothered with sequined flowers and worn with Grace Kelly silk scarves.
Such pieces look set to appeal to Molinari's fans in Hollywood, who include Demi Moore, Nicole Kidman and Winona Ryder.
There were low points as well, however - an outsize polka dot print outfit with puffed sleeves made even the 6ft-plus supermodel Erin O'Connor look dumpy.

Tin is a chemical element using the symbol Sn (Latin: stannum) and atomic number 50. It's a primary group metal in group 14 from the periodic table. Tin shows chemical resemblance of both neighboring group 14 elements, germanium and lead.
This silvery, malleable poor metal isn't easily oxidized in air and it is accustomed to coat metals to avoid corrosion. The very first alloy, utilized in massive since 3000 BC, was bronze, an alloy of Tin and copper. After 600 BC pure metallic Tin was created. Pewter, that is an alloy of 85% to 90% Tin along with the rest generally composed of copper, antimony and lead, was adopted for flatware in the Bronze Age before twentieth century. In modern occasions container can be used in several alloys, most particularly container/lead soft solders, typically that contains 60% or even more of Tin. Another large application for Tin is corrosion-resistant container plating of steel. Due to its low toxicity, container-plated metal can also be employed for food packaging, giving the title to Tin cans, that are made mostly of steel.
As for 2011 Tin is traded at the London Metal Exchange.

We've always admired the way the Pavilions management has been willing to stick its neck out by offering space to such indie enterprises as Cali & Mo, which launched its first store there five or so years ago. That practice, paired with a strong commitment to a core group of appealing national retailers, from the Gap to Forever 21, has kept the large holes left by the departing Virgin and Nike stores from bringing the whole place down. And in the last year or two, the Pavilions seems to be solidifying, rocking it on the strength of its Forever 21 superstore and the entry of H&M (which just added a new in-store Marni shoe shop) into the game. The Pavilions knows its place. It's not overwhelmingly large, and it has something for everyone, including a movie theater, a book store and a bowling alley. The mall also plays host to the annual Downtown Denver Arts Festival over Memorial Day weekend, as well as a number of offbeat events, such as last fall's Project Runway-style Cut 'n Sew: Yves Saint Laurent Challenge for local designers. Lastly, we simply love that the Denver Pavilions is downtown, adding its urban flavor to the 16th Street Mall experience.

An icon of Colorado's medical marijuana scene, Twirling Hippy Confections owner Jessica LeRoux was baking and selling her special cheesecakes and developing a following years before the medical marijuana industry took hold. But even with the transition to a commercial kitchen, her recipes are still some of the most delicious around. Her seasonal cheesecakes — like pumpkin pie around Halloween and Palisade Peach in August — have become fan favorites, but we love the simplicity of her traditional chocolate-and-caramel turtles, dubbed "Terrapins."
Clothing designer Tina Joliffe and artist Vincent "Cheap" Fasano needed a place where they could combine their eclectic interests under one roof. They found it in Fast Geek Boutique, where Joliffe's cute frocks and Fasano's outsider art are both part of the decor, along with a mélange of accessories and sewing supplies. That alone would seem enough to fill the boutique's close quarters, but there's more: books and zines from Fast Geek Press (including poetry by Vincent's twin brother, Charly), cassette tapes by Analog Empire, artwork by found-object assemblage artist Heretik and local-music recordings from Suburban Home Records. And if that's not enough for you, Fast Geek also now houses 2011 Best of Denver winner eyeLAB, an eyeglass service offering trendy prescription eyewear on a sliding-scale basis. Now, swallow your shrinking pill like a good little Alice and walk in the door.
No matter where you rank psychics on the bullshit scale, local spirit-charmer Lawrence Woodson is good for an afternoon of personal reflection. With a family history in the business and sixteen years of experience on his own, Woodson moves past the crystal-ball shtick and into therapy territory by using his clients' personalities and histories to reinterpret them in the animal kingdom. Incense, deep conversation and lots of shut-eyed imagination all feature in his $45 attempts to match people with their animals. Woodson himself is a coyote, while members of the military, he says, are often chimpanzees. In rare cases, it's possible to have two animal spirits, but don't worry: Woodson doesn't charge extra.

What are Jonas's rules in "The Giver"?
- print Print
- list Cite
1 Answer
Jonas' rules are found in Chapter 9. His first rule tells him to report to the Annex entrance behind the house of the old each day.
His second rule tells him to go home after training each day.
His third tells him that he is exempt from rudeness, and that he may ask questions and get answers from anyone. This rule is shocking because no one in the community is free to ask rude questions.
His fourth rule instructs him not to discuss his training.
His fifth rule prohibits him from dream-telling, which is also a surprise, because telling and analyzing dreams is a routine that every family in the community does together.
The sixth rule tells him not to ever apply for medication unless it is unrelated to his job. This is a heads-up that his job might be painful, and he will not be allowed to take medicine for it.
The seventh rule says that he is not allowed to apply for release. This does not bother Jonas, as he cannot fathom ever wanting to apply for release anyway.
The last rule is the most unnerving though: "You may lie". No one in the community was EVER allowed to lie. This makes Jonas wonder, however, how many other people received this same rule, and how many people did actually lie.
Many of these rules shatter some allusions Jonas has about the community, and it is clear that his job will not be anything he might expect.

However, the idea is not entirely new. Some years ago the Festival Hall presented the audience with a free live recording at the end of a special concert of solo piano music to celebrate the birthday of Pierre Boulez. I went straight home to relive the experience on a disc. The great achievement of this initiative entering the mainstream concert would be that proper live recording at performances would enable the great live performances by the musicians of today to be as much a part of our recorded musical heritage as those fantastic live recordings of 50 and more years ago - without which so many seminal moments would be lost.

My colleagues at the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra would be surprised at Professor Christopher Fox's suggestion (Letters, February 7) in response to my article on the role of the composer in the orchestra that, unlike a cast of actors, orchestra musicians were not also handpicked. The process for becoming part of a major orchestra requires auditioning, an extended trial period and peer review. As for under-rehearsal, here in Poole we have devoted almost 50% of past two weeks to preparing new music for various concerts. The commitment shown by BSO players and its principal conductor, Marin Alsop, is reflected in performances, and my experience here is that given the opportunity, the orchestra approaches new work with enthusiasm and energy. It is simply not true to say that they "would mostly rather be playing something else".

Perhaps Professor Fox has been away from the bright lights too long. Orchestral musicians really aren't like that any more. If he were to turn the two pages of the Guardian following his letter, he could have read Andrew Clements' review of the premiere of Tuur's Concerto featuring "consistently superb playing by the Philharmonia". There is plenty of inspiring contemporary orchestral music. Can it be that Fox is unfamiliar with the works of Lindberg, Turnage, Saariaho and Macmillan?

Are American Jews Waking Up? (FrontPageMagazine.com) By Ben Shapiro 06/15/12)

This week, a Gallup poll showed that President Obamas support level among American Jews had dropped from 74 percent in 2008 to 64 percent. That drop is twice as large as the drop for any other racial or ethnic group. It still leaves two-thirds of Jews standing in support of a President who will not stand by the Jewish State. But it does mean that a growing population of Jewish voters understand the threat that Obama poses even if they had supported his socialistic domestic agenda.
The Obama administration proved again last week just why Jewish voters should be troubled. On Friday, June 7, the Obama administration blocked an Israeli request to join the Global Counterterrorism Forum (GCTF) in Istanbul, Turkey. Now, for the past several years, Turkish sentiment has been turning against Israel. Once the two countries had a vibrant defense relationship, but Israel now has to fight off flotillas of armed terror-supporters launched from Turkey. Turkeys Head of state, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, is living proof of what happens to a heretofore secular state falls to the scourge of Islamism.
Instead of seeing Turkey as a threat, however, the Obama administration sees it as a model for the Middle East. Egypt has been allowed to go Islamist; so has Iraq (which now has Shariah law as its default under its constitution); so have Libya and Tunisia. All, like Turkey, went Islamist by popular demand. And all, like Turkey, have become radically anti-Israel.
When faced with the intransigence of Islamism, the West has two choices: they can call upon the Islamists to drop the nonsense and begin dealing reasonably with the Jewish State. Or they can cave.
The Obama administration caved.
The GCTF, a crowning achievement of the Obama administrations foreign policy, was opened in September 2011; it was the United States that chose Turkey as the site of this months conference. So when Israel asked to join, America could have told the Turks to deal with it.
Instead, they told Israel to get out, even as they invited Algeria, Egypt, Indonesia, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia. Non-Middle Eastern nations like China, Russia, and countries of West Europe showed up, too.
Not Israel, however. The GCTF sought from the outset to bridge old and deep divides in the international community between Western donor nations and Muslim majority nations, said one U.S. official. And it has, I think, done that quite effectively.
Not that effectively. Israel remains a bridge too far for the Arab and Muslim world, which seeks its destruction above all else. And yet the Obama administration acts as though the international scene is one big happy family, anti-terror to the core.
The truth is far more sinister. Holding an antiterrorism conference in Turkey is like holding a womens conference in Sudan or a gay and lesbian conference in Saudi Arabia. Its an oxymoron. And the fact that the Turkish wont let the Jews in shows just what a mockery the entire spectacle is in the first place.
This isnt the first time the United States has created a coalition of the willing that included a fair number of bad apples. During the First Gulf War, George H.W. Bush could have included Israel in the alliance against Saddam Hussein. He chose not to do so, fearful that he would alienate the rest of the Arab world. It was a tragic mistake, since for the first time, the Arab states would have been forced to work with Israel, or watch Iraq become the regional powerhouse.
But at least in that case, there was a larger goal: the freeing of an oil-rich state. In this case, the larger goal fighting terrorism is inseparable from the need to bring Israel into the fold. Any attempt to fight Islamic terror that forces Israel out is not truly fighting Islamic terror its kicking the can down the road. In the short term, terrorists may be stopped. In the long term, theyll be emboldened.
American Jews instinctively know this. Banning Israel from an antiterrorism conference to cater to the sensitivities of Muslims treads on anti-Semitic ground. But thats familiar ground for the Obama administration, which has routinely leaked crucial national security information to the press that would undercut Israels ability to defend itself. Its no wonder Jews in the United States at least the ones who care about Israel are beginning to see the light about President Obama. All they have to do is read the papers.
