Hey everyone, my name is Nate and I'm not your average socially inept nerdy guy. Ok, I'm not totally experienced in what most people consider to be fun, but I know how to play well with others and I'm willing to try new things. =]
I'm cynical, I love humor of any kind, I believe strongly in the freedom of speech, and I am fiercely loyal. I'm a romantic at heart, and I love doing little things to show that I care.
I know what I want to do with my life, and am trying to get back on track after a few poor choices early on set me back a few years in terms of my education.
I can fix your computer, quote from movies and literature, and I know a ton of useless information that might come in handy in an epic game of Trivial Pursuit somewhere down the line.
I'm working part time at GameStop, and I'm almost licensed to sell you a house in New Jersey.
I'm competent in the kitchen, and I love cooking and hosting dinner parties, even if my apartment at the moment can comfortably seat 4... I can make really kick-ass Korean barbeque, and my Shepherd's pie is tasty, or so I've been told. The free food and booze may have biased my reviewers, but I have yet to hear any complaints.
I love playing video games, but I haven't really had time to play as much as I used to. I specialize in PC games, Starcraft II and MMORPG's in particular, but I'm not a game snob. I will find something that you like to play, and if you're not a game person, no big deal, we can find plenty of other things to do! =]
My height. I am really tall for an Asian, I've been to Taiwan and Japan and it's actually easy to pick me out in a crowd! It's like a sea of heads in Shibuya.
For movies, I'll watch anything that isn't horror. I think I went to the movies 7 times over the winter break. I love going to the actual theater to watch movies, but I will gladly snuggle up under the covers and watch Netflix at home. It's a personal dream of mine to have a home theater eventually. Not just a big TV, but like one of those old classic theaters that you just don't find anymore. Some of my favorites: Castle in the Sky, The Professional, Star Wars, Bowfinger, eXistenZ, Battle Royale, Dogma, The Abyss, James Bond films, Empire Records, The Princess Bride, Some Like it Hot, Pulp Fiction, V for Vendetta, Serenity There's really too many to list...
On television, Top Chef; Big Bang Theory; Project Runway; Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives; and Sherlock. I'll probably regret saying this, but I'm a huge brony and I love My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, the new show is really really well done, and it gives me a warm fuzzy feeling when I watch it. Don't hate till you watch it.
Anime has always been a huge part of my life, ever since I was 4-5 years old watching imported anime VHS with my cousin. Nerd alert: come September, I will be the president of the Rutgers Camden Anime and Manga Club. Favorites: Ranma 1/2, Ghost in the Shell: SAC, Toshokan Sensou (Library War), Full Metal Panic, Gurren Lagann, Macross Frontier, Gundam 0083. I watch 3-4 series each season as the episodes are released in Japan, so I've watched a lot...
Musically, I like a wide spectrum of things, from rock to j-pop to classical. Things that come to mind... Our Lady Peace, RATM, RHCP, NIN, AFI, Finch, Sevendust, Silversun Pickups, Smashing Pumpkins, T.M.Revolution, Mad Capsule Markets, Tsunami Bomb, Florence and the Machine, Daft Punk, Rammstein, Asian Kung-Fu Generation, Enya, Ellegarden, Yoko Kanno, Mumford & Sons, Joe Hisaishi, and plenty of others.
Japanese food is my favorite, followed by Italian. Blowfish sashimi in Japan is quite possibly the best thing I've ever eaten, and seafood rice with baby octopi at this tiny restaurant in Venice is something that I will never forget. Honestly I'll eat anything but mushrooms. I'm lactose intolerant, but I will eat dairy anyway. How would I live without ice cream and cheese???

FPD International Green Device 2010 trade-show in China brought a news that a few people saw coming – Samsung showed what the CNN believes is a 10-inch version of the Galaxy Tab. It was displayed alongside e-readers and small notebooks, but as everyone who has seen the Samsung Galaxy Tab knows...

The TAB will tank no matter the size. Once U.S. carriers stripped the phone function it was doomed to obscurity.

10 inches and yet it has the same screen resolution as the 7-inch Tab? That's lower than on the iPad FFS. On the 7-inch it's acceptable because the device is smaller, but on a 10-inch tablet, 1024x600 is unacceptable. Way to fail hard, Samsung.

THERE is uncertainty as to whether Torfaen council's performance will continuously improve this financial year according to the annual improvement report produced by the Welsh Audit Office.
Each year, the Auditor General for Wales reports on how well Welsh councils are planning for improvement in delivering their services.
But it is uncertain whether the council is likely to make arrangements to secure continuous improvement for 2014-15, according to the improvement report, published yesterday.
The Welsh Audit Office found that in 2012-13 Torfaen council's performance had been mixed. Some services had not delivered the required improvements at the necessary pace.
The 2014 report said whilst improvements have been made to support families and children to get through the recession, further progress is needed in delivering sustainable improvements in education attainment.
Also that the council's performance in protecting the most vulnerable adults is mixed though a majority of measures are improving.
It's performance on ensuring its resources are used wisely has been mixed with performance on reducing waste declining. The council has made mixed progress in delivering improvements on measures comparable with other councils. It is good at managing its budget and delivers essential services with less money but it needs to strengthen how it evaluates the impact of savings for services to remain sustainable in the future.
Also the council is making progress in its Welsh language provision but further improvement is needed.
The council is required by the Welsh Government to make plans to improve its functions and the services it provides and a set of improvement objectives have been set.

As predicted, 802.11 is really doneFriday, September 11th, 2009
Back in July, I wrote that the IEEE Standards Board would consider 802.11n for approval on September 11. That meeting has occurred, the votes have been taken, and the standard has been approved. I received notice by e-mail this morning at 11 am Pacific. I didn't pick it up immediately, since I was in Australia for the Wireless World conference, and the e-mail came in just after 4 am.
TKIP security is not "Gone in 60 Seconds"Friday, August 28th, 2009
On the train home last night, I read the paper by Ohigashi and Morii that made the news yesterday, and resulted in a good number of electrons being spilled yesterday afternoon.
Before I get started, the key point here is:
If you have concerns about wireless security, JUST USE CCMP.
(CCMP is often referred to as WPA2, but that's a nomenclature point that I'd rather not get into here.)
I enjoyed reading the paper because the attack is clever, and nicely builds on some work from a year ago by Eric Tews and Martin Beck. Both the Ohigashi/Morii paper and the Tews/Beck paper describe attacks against the TKIP integrity check. Notably, neither attack is able to recover the keys used by TKIP to encrypt frames.
The most important thing to understand about TKIP is that it was intended to be an interim measure. When design work on TKIP started in 2001, there was a two-pronged approach to developing wireless security protocols. The first prong was updating the much-maligned WEP to improve security, but that effort was circumscribed because the design that emerged was constrained by the need to be hardware-compatible with the millions of devices which had already been sold with WEP support. (In technical terms, that restricted TKIP to be based on the RC4 cipher, and prevented development of a message integrity check with significant computational requirements.)
In essence, TKIP is a set of "seat belts" that keep the most vulnerable parts of WEP from being thrown through the windshield or impaled on the steering column. (One of my favorite papers about the weaknesses in WEP is IEEE 802.11 document 11-00/0362, titled Unsafe at Any Key Length, which is where the metaphor comes from.)
I'm not terribly surprised by the increasing number of papers written about flaws in TKIP. Given the severe design constraints, TKIP was a stopgap solution intended to buy time to give wireless LAN users the breathing space to move to the eventual AES-based protocol in development. TKIP had a "design lifetime" of five years, meaning that the intent was to resist cryptanalytic attacks for that length of time. The TKIP specification had matured by 2003, so it is not a surprise that flaws began to be identified last year.
Last year, the Tews/Beck paper exposed a subtle flaw in TKIP's integrity checking. The attack described in last year's paper required that a network have quality of service extensions enabled. Ohigashi and Morii did away with that constraint by showing that an attacker clever enough to insinuate himself into the conversation between the network and a client device can perform a similar attack.
The technical impact of this attack is small. Tews and Beck showed that a network with WMM could be subject to attacks against the TKIP integrity check. Ohigashi and Morii have generalized that work to networks in which the attacker does not need WMM to be enabled, but the trade is that the attacker must have a situation in which the victim is outside the range of the AP without relaying. Many vendors developed workarounds a year ago which continue to provide protection against this attack.
What this perceptive paper should do is heighten the disquiet regarding continued use of TKIP. Initial papers on WEP showed flaws that were not fatal, but the accretion of cryptanalytic expertise over time resulted in a complete break of the protocol which enables attackers to swiftly recover encryption keys. TKIP has not suffered this fate yet, but it is difficult to know how far off that day is. The best advice is to start using CCMP today, and make plans to move away from TKIP.
TKIP was intended for use as a stopgap, and it was optimized for use with the existing protocol features at the time of its design. It has not been extended to protect the extended headers defined by 802.11n, which is why the Wi-Fi Alliance has defined tests to prevent the use of TKIP with its 11n certification. It will never provide protection for 802.11 management frames. (To learn more about management frame protection, see the summary video for a talk I've submitted to the RSA conference next year.)
The future of wireless LAN security is CCMP. Let's bury TKIP, and move away from it before it becomes absolutely necessary.
Stick a fork in 802.11n, it's almost done!Monday, July 20th, 2009
Last week, the IEEE 802.11 working group met in San Francisco. Activity on the long-awaited 802.11n standard has been slowly moving through the process for several meetings now. On Friday, we took what is likely to be the final step as the 802.11 working group. We held our final approval vote, requesting that higher layers of the IEEE 802 group approve 11n for publication.
The vote felt somewhat anti-climactic. In a lightly discussed and debated motion to send the 802.11n draft onward, 53 members (including your correspondent) voted in favor, 1 voted against , and 6 abstained.
Following the working group's approval, the IEEE 802 executive committee voted unanimously (14 for, none against or abstaining) to send 802.11n to "RevCom," the IEEE Standards Board Review Committee. The IEEE Standards Board next meets on September 11, 2009.
In an interesting twist, September 11 is a date relevant to the history of 802.11n. Bruce Kraemer, the long-time chair of Task Group N and the current chair of the 802.11 working group, noted that the first meeting of the "High Throughput Study Group," the precursor to TGn, was September 11, 2002.
If approved, the 802.11n effort will have taken exactly seven years, at least by one measure. We are a long way from the first time 802.11n passed the 75% threshold.
The 802.11 working group is already working on the next step. Two task groups (TGac and TGad) are researching and debating methods to create gigabit-capable physical layers.
The Wi-Fi Summer 2008 meeting socialFriday, June 13th, 2008
Sven Mesecke arranged for his employer, Buffalo, to sponsor the social event. Sven showed up with his daughter Abby, proving that we start working on developing wireless engineers young!
Our even was held at Stubbs's Bar-B-Q, and featured some of the live music that Austin is famous for. I haven't gone to that many concerts, so it was a bit of an eye-opening experience to be in the room with the enthusiasm and energy of the bands. Young Abby introduced the first band of the night, The Ginn Sisters:
Following a break, Guy Forsyth took the stage. Due to the heat, I had to flee the crowded area downstairs for the relative cool of the less crowded upper floor:
Throughout the evening, people were playing pool. I'm sure that the pool table was attractive in part because it was located inside the air-conditioned area. Here's Dave Stephenson preparing to break:
It was an awesome event. My only problem was that a meeting the next morning was of interest, and 8:30 am in Austin is 6:30 am for an out-of-state Californian. I had to leave before the second set was done just to get to bed at a reasonable hour.
The difficulties in building a conference wireless network, TERENA TNC editionMonday, May 19th, 2008
It's hard to build a conference wireless network. I've built a few over the past five years, and it is always a big engineering challenge. As you build the network, you refine your plans. When users arrive and start sending traffic, you refine your plans. As loads ebb and flow, you refine your plans. I won't say it's easy, but it is a well traveled path. Every major gathering of networkers requires wireless connectivity.
I'm accustomed to the user experience on wireless LANs built for industry trade groups like the Wi-Fi Alliance, the IEEE 802.11 working group, and the IETF. The Wi-Fi Alliance uses Michael Hijdra and his team at 2Fast4Wireless, and Verilan does work for both IEEE 802.11 and the IETF. This week, I'm speaking at the TERENA NetConnect conference. It's only the first day, but I've had lots of trouble with the network.
First of all, the network uses web "authentication." All of the conference attendees have been given a unique account, but the use of accounts is enforced by a captive web portal, not WPA. The Wi-Fi Alliance, IEEE 802, and the IETF all run an 802.1X network, though they also offer an option for unauthenticated access. It seems unfortunate to avoid using 802.1X at the TERENA TNC conference because TERENA's Eduroam project has done a great deal to drive adoption of 802.1X, and many of the attendees are therefore familiar with 802.1X configuration.
When the plenary hall filled up, the performance went down very quickly. In the first eight minutes, I was disconnected four times. At eight minutes, the network connection gave up the ghost and quit working altogether. Before that point, I was seeing round-trip times that I hadn't seen since the great AT&T frame relay outage of 1998, when round trips were measured in seconds from my then-office to, well, anywhere. Round trip times were also measured in second-plus range here, and are substantially higher even than the GPRS/EDGE network I use when commuting to work:

(22.214.171.124 is one of my favorite test IP addresses. It's short, quick, easy to type, and it belongs to a highly redundant DNS server so it is almost always there.)
In the plenary, I was sitting towards the back of the room. As it became clear that the network was failing, people closed up their laptops in frustration. In the afternoon session, an attempted demonstration was aborted due to network performance problems. In all of the rooms, Windows reports low signal strength, so some of the performance problems could be due to AP placement constraints.
Last but definitely not least, there are two network names in use. A sign posted at the plenary room indicates that the split is used for load balancing, and instructs us to use the appropriate one based on user name:
I have connected to both networks, and they appear to use the same DHCP server. This is probably a misguided attempt at broadcast containment and/or load balancing. The Wi-Fi/IEEE 802/IETF networks use a single SSID and let the infrastructure figure out load balancing in a way that is transparent to the users.
A pair of funny wireless network namesMonday, May 19th, 2008
I recently had a breakfast meeting in Daly City, and my host picked the location. We met at a restaurant that is right next to a residential area. I arrived first, and when I opened my laptop to start work, I saw several wireless networks available.
I chuckled slightly when I saw the following network name:
A few days later, I was visiting the dentist's office. Upon opening up a Mac, I was greeted with the following message:
Ahem. Well, I guess it is a matter of trust…
Free Wi-Fi in airport loungesMonday, May 12th, 2008
Danny McPherson has written about Wi-Fi access in the "refugee camp" that is the SFO Red Carpet Club.
Having independently discovered last week that Red Carpet Club members could now get Internet access for free via T-Mobile, I was eager to get online in an airport without having to drop another $9.95 to T-Mobile…
Although I'm an elite flyer on United, I am a more elite flyer with American. The Admirals Club (American's counterpart to the Red Carpet Club) has promoted their Internet access much better. Members all received multiple mailings, and guests who buy a day pass get a card with a code on it.
American partnered with MobileStar for access in the Admirals Club in the late 1990s. Until this year, the network continued to operate only as a T-Mobile hotspot. Now, the T-Mobile hot spot operates in parallel with the captive portal for the Admirals Club. Like the Red Carpet Club, all you need is a magic membership number:
To login, all you need is the United Mileage Plus number of the primary Red Carpet Club account holder [Ed note: In the American Admirals Club, it's the AAdvantage number of the account holder]. Now, having long questioned the wisdom of a luggage tag that displays these numbers, be it a "hole-punched†Mileage Plus membership card, or a more obvious oval-shaped Red Carpet Club tag, I'm even more wary now…
Fortunately, the Admirals Club luggage tags don't have AAdvantage numbers on them. They do have a bar code that I assume can be translated easily into an AAdvantage number by American employees. On the other hand, if somebody is in the club, you can look for a regular luggage tag. Even on the plane, I bet you could do worse than by looking for the right color luggage tag. I would be willing to bet that most people with black elite luggage tags (Executive Platinum) are also Admirals Club members, and the likelihood only increases if you find somebody with a million miler oval.
I've yet to explore how difficult it would be to exhaustive search for valid numbers, or if multiple logins are permitted at a given time, or how far outside of the Red Carpet Club these numbers are valid, or…
As to the last point, the numbers are almost certainly valid as long as you can get to an AP. Although it is possible to build a wireless network that attempts to determine location and restrict services to a certain geographic area, the cost is quite high.
My experience is that the signal goes quite a long distance. Even before I forked over the money for an Admirals Club membership, I used their networks frequently. As a non-member, I could almost always sit in a gate area near the entrance and use the network. (I am a long-time T-Mobile hot spot subscriber through my cell phone plan.) In Chicago, I would sit in the hallway joining the H and K concourses, which was especially nice because there were usually unoccupied power plugs. At Los Angeles, I could sit at gate 41 and get a weak signal.
In the past, I tested whether T-Mobile's hot spot network would support multiple simultaneous logins, and it does not. I have not tested whether the same is true for the captive portal they run for the Admirals Club. I would be surprised if that were the case because club members are allowed to bring guests, and it is likely that travelers with the ability to pay for an airline club membership have friends and family members who also have their own devices.
My favorite 802.11n graph: draft size over timeMonday, April 21st, 2008
My reason for braving the "snowstorm" at Heathrow was to be at the JANET(UK) Networkshop conference. The organizers asked me to present an overview of current wireless standards in development. JANET(UK) is also a founding member of the OpenSEA Alliance, and has arranged for some UK universities to test the supplicant as we develop it.
I impressed (in the older sense of drafting somebody into service) Mark Tysom of JANET(UK) into taking pictures while I spoke. He captured me in front of my favorite slide in the talk, which shows the size of the 802.11n draft over time:
Several interesting vital statistics on the 802.11n draft can be found in this 802.11 working group presentation made by Bruce Kraemer, the long-time chair of TGn who has recently been elected the chair of the entire 802.11 working group.
The venue for my talk was the plenary session, which was held at The Barony Hall at the University of Strathclyde. The Barony Hall was previously a church, and is a wonderful venue for large audiences. As a speaker, it can be slightly intimidating, though!
(Thanks for taking photos, Mark!)
Wi-Fi Rail about to sign a deal with BARTWednesday, April 9th, 2008
Via Glenn Fleishman, I found this Sacramento Bee article describing a imminent deal between BART and Wi-Fi rail. (I tried the Wi-Fi Rail service, but wasn't impressed.)
The article has two points worth noting. First, the initial trial will expand from the four downtown San Francisco stations to the big underground areas:
If a deal is struck, Lee says WiFi Rail will install the system on BART's most heavily traveled underground routes – in Oakland, San Francisco and the Transbay Tube – within 120 days. Coverage for BART's entire 103-mile system would follow.
The underground core of the BART system runs from the four downtown SF stations, the Transbay Tube, and the Oakland Wye (roughly West Oakland north to 19th Street and west to Lake Merritt).
The article then quotes Wi-Fi Rail's corporate counsel as adding 45 minutes to a workday:
"Take a BART rider who gets on at Walnut Creek and spends 45 minutes going to downtown San Francisco" and back, says [Gilles] Attia [Wi-Fi Rail's corporate lawyer]. By plugging in, "he's added 1 1/2 hours to his work day."
Mr. Attia works in Sacramento, so he may not have first-hand experience with BART. Assuming that I've got the bounds of the expanded Wi-Fi Rail deployment right, it's not that big. Lake Merritt to Civic Center (on my commute) is 16 minutes. 19th Street/Oakland to Civic Center is 18 minutes. 19th Street/Oakland to Lake Merritt is only 5 minutes.
Since my initial report on the unreliability of Wi-Fi Rail a year ago, I haven't found that the service in train cars has improved. Service is faster and more robust on the platform, but I still find the service on the train spotty.

Ptarmigans revisited
Here is the developed version of the ptarmigans I talked about a couple of weeks ago. In fact there is very little white in this painting although both the birds and the snow are actually white. It is the fading mid day light that is pulling our leg. But the difficult thing was to counterchange the birds against the background without removing too much of the snow. It is still the Arctic in winter.

The industrial relations policy debate has reached a new low, business groups say, with politics trumping policy development and proposed changes to the Fair Work Act likely to weaken the economy.
Daily this week, the federal government has issued proposed changes to the act in an apparent attempt to draw the opposition into a fight over industrial relations and force it to release its policies.
Workplace Relations Minister
The changes would be implemented through amendments to the model consultation clauses in awards and agreements.
Other changes to the act flagged this week include expectant parents being able to take up to two months of unpaid parental leave, explicit provision in the act to give parents and carers the legal right to apply for flexible work, and federal legislation tackling workplace bullying.
But the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Business Council of Australia have criticised the "drip feeding" of announcements, warning they damage business confidence.
ACCI chief executive
"Playing politics is one thing but using politics to interfere in the management of private business and weakening the economy is another all together,'' he said.
"This has been a new low point in the development of public policy on workplace issues – four days of consecutive announcements with four days of failure to consult with industry on those announcement."
BCA chief executive
"There must be a more collaborative approach to reform ... the government should take a step back from reform by media release and sit down with business, unions and the community about the detail it is proposing in its second-tranche workplace reforms," she said.
"There is no substitute for comprehensive consultation on new reforms to ensure a clear understanding of the government's intention, and the possible impacts on business and workplaces."
Council of Small Business chief executive Peter Strong said the changes would impose extra costs on employers and scare them off employing more workers.
"What all this adds up to is that every small business employer in Australia could be non-compliant with some part of the Fair Work Act because it has become too complicated,'' he said.
Mr Shorten told Parliament that while Labor was being upfront about its proposed industrial relations changes, the Coalition was hiding its policies.
"Australians are interested in the workplace relations policies of the future and they deserve better than they are receiving from the opposition. They deserve to hear how each side of politics will enhanced their prospects in the workplace,'' he said.
"Now unfortunately the opposition this week have not been up front they have not been positive and they certainly not future focused."
Mr Anderson said the proposed rostering changes would go down with business like a tonne of bricks.
"The latest proposal to require businesses to consult under threat of breaching the law before changing a roster in Australia's 750,000 workplaces, governing its 10 million employees, is a dramatic over reach and one which will go down amongst employers and small business like a tonne of bricks,'' he said.

A 75-year-old Burnsville man was sentenced Monday to 20 years in prison in connection to the multimillion-dollar Ponzi scheme orchestrated by Trevor Cook.
Patrick Kiley was sentenced in U.S. District Court on 12 counts of wire and mail fraud, one count of conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud and two counts of money laundering, according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney's Office in Minnesota.
Because the federal criminal justice system has no parole, Kiley will spend virtually his entire sentence behind bars. Kiley and his co-defendants, who have been already sentenced, have been ordered to pay $155.36 million in restitution to the victims of their fraud scheme, which generated $194 million from investors.
Kiley was convicted on June 12, 2012, after a nearly two-month trial.
On January 3, Jason Bo-Alan Beckman, 43, of Plymouth, was sentenced to 30 years in federal prison on 17 counts of wire and mail fraud, two counts of conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud, four counts of money laundering, two counts of filing a false tax return and one count of tax evasion.
Gerald Joseph Durand, 62, of Faribault, was sentenced to 20 years on 12 counts of wire and mail fraud, one count of conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud, two counts of money laundering, two counts of concealing a material fact from the United States and three counts of filing a false tax return.
Christopher Pettengill, 56, of Plymouth, was sentenced to 90 months on one count of securities fraud, one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and one count of money laundering.
Evidence presented at trial proved that between 2005 and November 2009, the defendants, along with Cook, defrauded investors by soliciting them to invest money in a foreign currency trading program that they alleged would earn a double-digit rate of return, typically between 10.5 and 12 percent annually, with little or no risk. They also claimed investor assets would be held in a segregated account and could be withdrawn at any time. Those representations were false.
The defendants and Cook made the investment offers through entities known as Universal Brokerage Services or bearing the acronym UBS. The UBS entities had no legitimate affiliation to the global provider of financial services UBS, AG.
Cook operated the currency program through various foreign currency trading firms, including but not limited to one in Chicago and another in Switzerland.
To induce investors, the defendants and Cook, directly or through others, made false representations regarding the performance, safety, and liquidity of the currency program. They also omitted material information concerning their own backgrounds and qualifications as well as the backgrounds and qualifications of those working for them.
Once investments were made, some investors received UBS account statements that indicated the currency program was performing as promised, while others received checks for "returns on their investments."
Both the statements and checks, however, were actually produced by the co-conspirators, the purpose being to lull investors or encourage them to make additional investments. At the same time, most investors received nothing from the true custodians of their funds.
Although some investment funds were invested in foreign currency trading, most of that trading was high-risk, often resulting in significant losses, none of which was disclosed to investors. Moreover, the co-conspirators concealed that the currency trading firm in Switzerland was in dire financial condition and, instead, continued to solicit investor assets to be sent to the firm.
Co-conspirators also concealed from investors their own concerns about Cook's operation of the currency program and alleged illegalities surrounding it.
In 2007, when UBS, AG filed a trademark infringement lawsuit against Cook, Durand, Kiley, and others, the defendants began operating their scheme under other names, including those identified by the terms "Oxford" and "Universal Brokerage FX." They then continued to solicit investors for the currency program, using telemarketing, media spots and seminars in which they repeated the false representations.
Kiley, a former Christian radio host who had a show called "Follow the Money," solicited investors for the scam through his radio talk show, which was carried on more than 200 stations across the country. On those programs, he regularly warned listeners to avoid financial ruin by giving their life savings to his company for investment.
Between 2005 and July 2009, the defendants, Cook, and others secured approximately $194 million in investments for the currency program. Of that amount, only about $109 million was actually sent to currency trading firms. About $52 million was paid to investors in the form of lulling payments, and approximately $30 million was diverted to fund the business and personal expenses of the defendants, Cook, and others.
In August of 2010, Cook was sentenced to 25 years in federal prison for his role in the scam. On July 18, 2011, Jon Jason Greco pleaded guilty to two counts of making false statements to federal agents, specifically lying about assets he had concealed in the scam. He was sentenced to 10 months.
Proceeds from the Cook fraud scheme are the subject of an ongoing investigation and recovery efforts led by the law firm Carlson, Caspers, Vandenburg, and Lindquist, through a previous appointment by U.S. District Court Chief Judge Michael Davis.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 1/10/2012 (1783 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Ok, hands up everybody who knows that this is Mental Illness Awareness Week in Canada.
Oh. You didn't know? Well, you're not alone.
Odds are you knew Sunday was the date of the breast cancer Run for the Cure campaign, though. Everyone knows that.
Public awareness is a vital first step in battling an illness. Breast cancer has set the gold standard for this. We are constantly urged to participate in marathons, weekend camp-outs and golf tournaments; we wear pink ribbons and cheer breast-cancer survivors paddling dragon boats. The money raised will surely someday find a cure. In the meantime, the sheer energy and enthusiasm from supporters helps everyone, especially the patients.
Mental illness is as physically and emotionally devastating as cancer, but it gets diddly squat in terms of public attention.
"I would do anything to have breast cancer over mental illness... because I would not have to put up with the stigma," said Helen. Helen is one of many patients interviewed for the 2006 Senate Report on Mental Illness titled Out of the Shadows at Last.
I know exactly what Helen is saying. Stigma is rampant.
At a dinner I attended a while back, the guest speaker used the term "dysfunctional schizophrenic" to make a point. No one batted an eyelash. If he had referred to someone with breast cancer as a "flat-chested cancerite," I suspect the audience reaction would have been different.
Many Canadians do not understand that schizophrenia is a biological illness like breast cancer.
Most people know about breast cancer, but what do we know about schizophrenia?
We've all heard the very scary statistic that one in nine women will develop breast cancer "in her lifetime." Scary, yes, but a bit misleading. The statistic is true if a woman lives into her 90s and doesn't die of something else.
One in 100 Canadians will develop schizophrenia if they reach the ripe old age of 20. Schizophrenia appears suddenly, out of nowhere, and afflicts young people -- men and women equally -- just as their adult lives are starting out.
The main symptom is bizarre behaviour. Patients may refuse to turn on the TV, citing certain "dangerous" channels. They may unplug the fridge or wear a winter jacket on a hot summer day. They often self-medicate with drugs or alcohol. They may insist that God is talking to them. Listless and reclusive, they become suspicious of everyone, especially those trying hardest to help -- their families and health-care professionals.
Misconceptions abound. Schizophrenia is not a "split personality" and is not caused by a traumatic event in childhood. Schizo-phrenia literally means a "split" from reality. Patients have a medical condition called psychosis, which causes them to perceive things differently from you and me.
Diagnosis is difficult and can take years. Meanwhile, the condition worsens, often to the point of no return. There are no screening tests for schizophrenia -- no "brainograms" or blood tests. The diagnostic method -- basically a psychiatric checklist -- has not changed for decades.
Helen could have gone further. It's more than stigma that causes problems for people with mental illness. How about neglect? An estimated 50 to 75 per cent of the dirty, shambling human beings that rant and rave along downtown streets are victims of untreated mental disorders.
About 10 to 14 per cent of patients with schizophrenia commit suicide. This is because for many, the disease is unbearable. Many more will die far younger than expected lifespans due to intolerable life conditions caused by stigma, loneliness and neglect.
No human being should have to experience what our mentally ill people encounter every day in this country.
Antipsychotic drugs offer the most successful treatment. The newer drugs are more effective and have fewer of the awful side-effects.
Costs are a major concern, and hospitalization continues to be the main cost for our beleaguered health-care system.
For my breast-cancer surgery, I was in and out of hospital in 24 hours.
My loved one with a mental illness has been hospitalized for nine of the last 12 months.
Public awareness is vital in battling an illness. I believe if Canadians knew more about mental illness, we'd all be walking, running, golfing and paddling to support our friends, family and neighbours who have mental disorders. We'd be giving money to help find a cure or to support patients in need of housing.
Maybe we'd even wear a ribbon. If it hasn't already been taken, I pick the colour red. It's my loved one's favourite colour.

JetBlue is planning a total restyling of its Airbus A320 cabins, the company said this week.
The new cabins will include what the carrier is calling a "fully connected in-seat experience."
That will include free gate-to-gate Fly-Fi high-speed Internet, a new Internet-enabled in-flight tnertainment system, high-definition seatback televisions and in-seat power outlets with USB ports.
"We launched JetBlue with a customer-focused experience that no one expected from an airline," said Jamie Perry, vice president brand and product development. "Travel preferences have changed in the last 15 years, and we're investing in what customers want today. Our new cabin, combined with our award-winning customer service, is a powerful way for us to once again challenge the status quo."
The changes will mean the first inflight entertainment system that connects the seatback television to the aircraft's Wi-Fi connection.
JetBlue will also be expanding its DirecTV television offering from 36 channels to more than 100.
The A320 cabin will closely follow JetBlue's Airbus A321 cabin design.
"Our customers don't want to switch off when they take off, so we are continuing to build on our investment in Fly-Fi," Perry said. "Flying JetBlue is more and more like being in your own home – with access to live television and high-speed Internet across multiple screens while relaxing in a comfortable seat with lots of space and all the snacks and soft drinks you want. What you can't get at home is the award-winning service from our friendly crewmembers."

Fort Hood Herald
The 4th Infantry Division's 1st Brigade Combat Team was supposed to deploy in November and December, but word came down from the Department of the Army in late October that the brigade wouldn't leave until after the new year. Now those soldiers and families are preparing for a March leave time.
"I'm really happy that we got that time," said Col. Ted Martin, Raider Brigade commander.
The change was likely based on the then-current situation in Iraq, and with troop drawdowns and re-alignments, the Army didn't need 1st Brigade until March, Col. Steven Stover, a division spokesman, said in late October. It was the success of the troop surge that pushed the deployment back, Martin said.
That delay gave the soldiers of the brigade's six battalions — the 1st Battalion, 22nd Infantry Regiment; 1st Battalion, 66th Armor Regiment; 7th Squadron, 10th Cavalry Regiment; 4th Battalion, 42nd Field Artillery Regiment; 4th Support Battalion; and 1st Brigade Special Troops Battalion — more time to train and conduct the last-minute preparation necessary before deploying.
The brigade spent a month at the National Training Center at Fort Irwin, Calif., in August and September, and leaders were able to take the lessons learned during that rotation and apply them to training once they got back to Fort Hood. Instead of the few months they had before, soldiers had about six months to sharpen their skills. It also provided time to work on what Martin called a "wish list" of training that included focusing on the Arabic language. As of last week, more than 60 of the brigade's soldiers were taking a three-week course of "high-quality language training," Martin said. At the end of this month, some will also take a trip to the University of Texas, where they will get courses on culture, infrastructure and rebuilding.
The extra time also allowed for another block leave and platoon mounted and dismounted training the soldiers would not have time to do otherwise.
Soldiers of the 4th Battalion, 42nd Field Artillery completed some of that last week with a dismounted live-fire exercise. Dismounted means the soldiers were out of their vehicles and conducting operations on foot. Mounted means they are in vehicles. This type of exercise allowed soldiers to practice approaching targets at individual, team, section and squad levels, said Lt. Col. Doug Kirby, the battalion's commander.
These are skills every soldier needs to have in case they come in contact with the enemy, he added. The soldiers were given a mission, moved down a road, reacted to "enemy fire" and simulated roadside bombs, performed casualty evacuations and medical treatments, took out a target then secured an objective.
The point was to get these solders used to firing their weapons as their buddies moved alongside them, said Command Sgt. Maj. Michael Williams, the battalion's senior noncommissioned officer. These field artillery soldiers don't get to do that a lot, he added, and it takes some getting used to and the live fire just builds their confidence in that task.
This training was nothing new and perhaps even a bit mundane to Staff Sgt. Mark Thomas, a soldier in the battalion who is getting ready for his third deployment. But, he said, there can never be enough training for the "new guys." When the training gets to be monotonous to the unit's veterans, he just thinks about the new guys and how this sort of thing is preparing them for Iraq.
About half of the battalion's soldiers have deployed before, Kirby said, a few of them to Afghanistan, but mostly to Iraq. Before the end of 2007, the battalion got a new batch of soldiers — most of them straight from Basic and Advanced Individual Training.
The brigade continues to receive new soldiers, said Maj. Philip Secrist, the rear detachment commander. He estimated that 45-60 arrive a month.
Those soldiers will continue to arrive six months into the deployment. Those who don't leave with the brigade next month will deploy as individual replacement troops. One of the rear detachment's responsibilities is preparing these soldiers for their units downrange.
Other duties of the brigade's rear detachment, which was put in place Summer 2007 and operated when the soldiers deployed to the National Training Center, include taking care of family members and wounded soldiers and making arrangements for soldiers killed in action.
The brigade hosted an open house for its family readiness center on Jan. 31. The center has computer equipment, including Web cameras and free Internet access, a conference room and kitchenette for families and soldiers to use during the deployment. The center is located in building 293 in the modular buildings adjacent to 761st Tank Battalion Avenue and 37th Street, across from the Phantom Warrior Center, according to information from the brigade's Public Affairs Office.
A team of 60 soldiers will assist Secrist, and that includes five from the 4th Battalion, 42nd Field Artillery, said Capt. Derrick Shannonhouse, a battalion officer.
Brigade leaders met with their counterparts in the 1st Cavalry Division's 1st Brigade Combat Team in October to exchange information. They also have Army handbooks and manuals that were developed within the last few years to help commanders lead rear detachments.
Secrist said the most challenging part of his job in the next year will be casualty operations.
"It's just a hard experience," he said. "When you're deployed, it was a buddy, comrade in arms. You didn't see how it affected folks back home.
"It's going to be tough."
For the deploying brigade, most of the hard work is done, Martin said. The goal now is to stay safe and focused since transitions are the most dangerous time for a unit, he said.
He recently returned from a trip to Iraq where he and other brigade leaders met with division officials, including Maj. Gen. Jeffery W. Hammond, 4th Infantry commander. Martin also met with the brigade he and his soldiers are set to replace: the 1st Infantry Division's 4th Brigade Combat Team.
Fourth Infantry units already in Iraq include the Headquarters, Special Troops Battalion and Fort Carson, Colo.-based 3rd Brigade Combat Team. The 4th Brigade Combat Team and Combat Aviation Brigade are set to deploy this summer. The 2nd Brigade Combat Team, which relocated to Fort Carson, Colo., in June 2007, has orders to deploy in 2009.
The division took over Multinational Division-Baghdad from the 1st Cavalry in November 2006, its third deployment to the war in Iraq. Its soldiers returned to Fort Hood from the last deployment in late 2006.

Bridesmaids In Hats
March 27, 2012 by staff
Bridesmaids In Hats, Here's an easy way to turn your dream wedding into a fashion nightmare: Choose matching bridesmaid dresses in three electric, but conflicting, colors, and then make your bridesmaids wear floppy little head scarves that wouldn't look good on anyone.
Confessions of a Shopaholic:
A Manhattan shopaholic (Isla Fisher) whose buying sprees have buried her in immense debt lands a columnist gig dishing out financial advice in this Touchstone comedy based on Sophie Kinsella's series of books. P.J. Hogan (My Best Friend's Wedding) directs, with producing duties being handled by Jerry Bruckheimer. Rebecca Bloomwood (Fisher) can't seem to break her habit for making impulsive purchases, and while she's always decked out in the latest styles, her credit card bills are as thick as a telephone book.
If Rebecca could somehow manage to land her dream job at a high-profile fashion magazine, perhaps she could transform what is now a simple addiction into something that could really benefit her professionally. When Rebecca becomes an advice columnist at a financial magazine published by the same company as her favorite fashion magazine, her fresh approach strikes a chord with readers and she quickly becomes the toast of the town. Meanwhile, her bank account is still bone dry, wreaking havoc on her love life and placing her career in jeopardy.
As Rebecca teeters on the brink of bankruptcy, she gradually begins to reassess her priorities in life. Joan Cusack, John Goodman, Hugh Dancy, and Krysten Ritter co-star in the Touchstone Pictures production.

Australia Day 18
Manly Beach
It's Saturday and the heat-wave continues. We're going to do what all the sensible locals are doing and head for the beach. Manly Beach can be reached easily by ferry from Circular Quay. Our Travel Passes, courtesy of our Canadian friends, cover the journey. This trip through the bay is recommended as one of the 'must-dos' of a visit to Sydney. We travel in one of the iconic, old, double-fronted, green and yellow ferries. The skipper is impatient with any motor boats or yachts that cut too closely across his bows and expresses this by sounding an enormous horn designed to get the attention of the miscreants. Once again we photograph the Bridge and Opera House, this time from a seaborne perspective. You can't have too much of a good thing. The Harbour Bay is an enormous playground filled with all sorts of craft: sailing boats and dinghies, motor cruisers, kayaks, even people paddling surfboards. This is in an area criss-crossed by ferries and cruise ships.
We reach the Manly Wharf and walk through The Corso to get to the beach. This pedestrianised thoroughfare, like everywhere today, is populated with covered stalls, selling Christmas crafts and trinkets - here, supporting good causes like Amnesty International, Green Peace, and Fair Trade. En route, there are small pavement fountains for the toddlers to play in. These spurt water unexpectedly and can catch the unwary by suprise. I speak as one.
We eat in a Hemingway-themed restaurant opposite the beach (he visited Sydney once). We've spent a lot of time lately eating Thai, Japanese and Italian. This is an uncompromising Australian eating place serving good 'Aussie tucker'. We choose a local version of Tapas. The recommendation is two dishes each. We elect for one each: the spicy chicken nuggets and thick hand-cut chips in onion gravy. This is wrong on so many levels but delicious - just the kind of heavy meal you need before a swim. Hemingway would have approved; another fat bearded guy in a big hat who liked his food. A tall thin blond passes by. "I'll bet she doesn't eat hand-cut chips", says Monica, "But then she probably doesn't go bushwalking in the Blue Mountains either", recalling the exploits of the last couple of days.
Manly is a surfers' beach.The main part of the beach is reserved for them. At either end there are small stretches marked by flags and policed by "Surf Guards" which are set aside for swimmers. Anyone straying out of these into the domain of the surfers is whistled at by the guards and ushered back into the safe area. There appear to be life guards everywhere, dressed in their yellow and red outfits.
At the North end of the beach there is a Surf Boat competition. This has been going on since eight this morning, I'm told. There are different heats for men and women, under 23's, and under 19's. Five or six boats race at a time, steered into the surf, then rowed to a bouy and back again. It's a colourful spectacle. Each team wears matching swimsuits and caps.
After a digestive interval, I take to the surf with the host of other swimmers compressed into a small area. The surf is breath-taking. It doesn't look too strong from the shore but once you're in, you are swept along by the sheer force of the Pacific Ocean. It's great fun. Nearby, a group of children is being coached in competitive surf boarding. In the Alps children aspire to be skiers, in Canada, ice hockey players, in India, cricketers; here, they all want to be surfers. I'm amazed at how far out the small ones will go (watched closely by their coaches, also on boards). Maybe it's not too late for me to learn.
We catch the ferry back to Circular Quay and immediately get on another one. This is headed to Neutral Bay fifteen minutes across the Harbour Bay. The idea is to walk from this landing to the wharf at Cremorne Point. Diane recommended this, though she went in the opposite direction. It's now after five o'clock and still very hot. The route is not marked and the first challange is to navigate a path through the suburb, until we find the shoreside path on the other side of the Kurraba peninsula. This involves a heated hill climb and navigating (by instinct) through a few streets of expensive mansions. In the heat Monica loses faith in my instinct and asks directions of a solitary local - everyone else is in watching "Neighbours". The main part of our subsequent journey takes us through a pleasant waterside park peopled with dog walkers and picknickers, with excellent views of Sydney in the distance.
The ferries from Cremorne Point run every hour but we've timed our arrival beautifully and have only a five-minute wait, time spent looking across the harbour to the Opera House and Bridge. We're back in Circular Quay by 18:30. After our evening meal, we revisit a piece of street sculpture commemorating the early inhabitants of The Rocks. It comprises a triangular set of sandstone blocks, carved into which are respectiverly the shapes of a soldier, a convict, and a family of settlers. It's a work designed to viewed at night, the shadows creating the illusion of form.

CD Release/Review:
A Single Noon
music composed and performed by
Gregg Kallor
• Available from Single Noon Records
It's a tribute to the evocative quality of Gregg Kallor's compositions that I felt a definite big city vibe from the music before I'd even looked at the notes to discover that the 9 movements that make up A Single Noon were in fact written as (in his words) "a love letter to this incredible city" - New York City that is.
Co-produced by five-time Grammy nominee Fred Hersch, the music consists of both composed and improvised sections and covers an impressive emotional range from the reflective Found (the Central Park of the suite) to the kinetic (naturally) Espresso Nirvana and (my favourite) Straphanger's Lurch. Straphanger's Lurch has flashes of pop music and an extended improv section. The tracks are of varied lengths and offer an enjoyable range of moods from start to finish.
Gregg Kallor's music is contemporary while giving a nod to the past. It sparkles with a kind of melodic dissonance that is aided by technically impressive playing with a nice sense of dramatic flair. There is a definite narrative and evocative sensibility. I could see the city's many moods as I listened.
Gregg first album, There's a Rhythm, was recorded with his jazz trio and released in 2001. He had his New York concert debut at Carnegie Hall in 2007 and his previous compositions include the acclaimed song cycles Exhilaration and Yeats Songs. A Single Noon got its world premiere in 2011 also at Carnegie Hall. He received the Aaron Copland Award for composition and composed a three-movement concerto for piano and orchestra during his 2012 residency at the composer's home.

THOUSANDS of motor enthusiasts are expected to turn out for the Birkenhead Festival of Transport, which starts today.
The event, organised by Birkenhead Lions, ends on Sunday.
Organisers are looking forward to what promises to be a fantastic display with a full-sized replica of a Spitfire among the exhibits.
Other attractions include military vehicles, a steam-powered boat on the lake, vintage fairground rides and classic cars.
There will also be a re-enactment of the Cheshire Regiment's First World War Field Hospital.
Ken Fretwell, chairman of the organising committee, said: "Our sixth anniversary show went well despite what the weather threw at us.
"On behalf of myself and the committee and the volunteers who put on the show through some very trying times, would like to thank everyone for turning out in such great numbers to enjoy and support our show despite the weatherman's dire warnings which thankfully did not happen.
"Up until last year, funding came from the council, but this has now stopped. Fortunately we made enough from last year's event to ensure this year's event can go ahead.
"We hope as many people as possible can come along to enjoy the show."

LARAMIE, Wyo. - A heavy offensive attack in the opening half led the Cowgirl soccer team to a 4-1 victory over Eastern Washington Sunday afternoon at the Louis S. Madrid Sports Complex.
Wyoming jumped to an early 3-0 lead in the first half as the Cowgirls outshot the Eagles, 5-4, and pushed the ball consistently into EWU territory.
"I liked our energy both in today's game and Friday's game with Nebraska-Omaha," said Wyoming coach Pete Cuadrado. "We're really pushing that as coaches and I think the girls are responding well. We're getting goals and pushing the ball upfield, so we are pleased with the effort."
Senior Carmen Blume scored first for the Cowgirls as she put in a header off a Sara Paul corner kick for a 1-0 lead at the 9:50 mark.
After an Eagle penalty, Paul took the free kick and tapped the ball a few feet to Sydney Jones, who wound up and shot it from 20 yards out above the outstretched hands of EWU keeper Jamie Walker for another score at the 28:22 mark.
With three minutes before the half, freshman Jennifer Paul got a hold of a loose ball following a pass from teammate Cassie Sheffield and increased the Cowgirl lead to 3-0 with a goal into the lower right corner of the net, the first goal of her Cowgirl career.
EWU's Kasey McNeill scored early in the second half off an assist from Alisha Stott, but Wyoming responded at the 56:25 mark when Olivia Mohtadi scored her third goal of the year off a Lucie McDowell shot attempt that was blocked and recovered by Mohtadi, who tapped it in for the final 4-1 score.
The Cowgirls outshot the Eagles, 12-7, including an 8-6 shot on goal ratio. UW goalie Carmen McDermott earned her third straight win as she had five saves during the game.
Wyoming travels to Greeley, Colo., to face Northern Colorado on Thursday with the kickoff slated for 7 p.m. The Cowgirls then host Pac-12 opponent Washington State on Sunday at 1 p.m. at the Louis S. Madrid Sports Complex.

Crown Princess Luncheon & Photos

Hello Paul,
Glad you enjoyed the photos of the Crown. She really is a beauty. Larger than I usually like to cruise with 3150 pax onboard.
Let me try to answer some of your questions.
I am not a travel agent. Just someone who loves to cruise. I have cruised only with Princess sinec 1996 & LOVE Princess Cruises.
Over the years I have made some great friends with crew & often go to visit them.
I was invited to the Crown Princess to attend a VIP Captain's Circle Luncheon. We got to spend 4 hours onboard. Let me tell you it was a wonderful 4 hrs. and VERY tough to leave indeed.
There is a very good chance I will book the Crown before they leave NYC this fall.
While onboard we were allowed to explore on our own. We saw many cabins. Sorry I did not take photos of the other cabins. I am so used to them did not think of taking photos really.
Have never had a suite yet. I usually cruise alone, and it would be a small fortune to book a suite. Balcony cabins are great. I always say for certain cruises a balcony is a must. But, again, if I can book 2 cruises with inside cabins for the price of one balcony I'll take the opportunity to cruise more.
On the Crown there are many dining options.
I always would go for traditional late seating. But lately have done more of the Anytime Dining option. This allows me the flexibility to spend time with my crew friends.
One of my favorite spots on the Crown is the new Sanctuary. WOW. I do look forward to trying this out.
I also liked their Sabatinis.
Hope I have replied to your questions. Let me know if I can be of any more help.
When are you going on the Crown???

When historians write the story of America's cultural revolution on gay marriage, March of 2013 may well get its own chapter — the month when the political balance on this issue shifted unmistakably from risky to safe. But historians will surely also note that this was a movement in which the politicians, for the most part, were mere passengers along for the ride. With very few exceptions, elected officials remain profiles in caution and calculation, while activists and courts are the real engines of change.
This from Politico this morning, leaving me to wonder what this means for the U.S. political scene -- and for the Catholic church?

Sarah Arendt, '12, Selected for Peggy Browning Fellowship
University of Chicago Law School student Sarah Arendt, '12, has been selected for the competitive Peggy Browning Fellowship.
Arendt will spend the 10-week summer fellowship working in the legal department of Communications Workers of America in Washington, D.C. The fellowship is provided by the Peggy Browning Fund, a nonprofit organization established in memory of Margaret A. Browning, a prominent union-side attorney who was a member of the National Labor Relations Board from 1994 to 1997.
The fund encourages law students to follow in her footsteps by pursuing careers in public interest labor law. Sixty Peggy Brown Fellows were chosen from more than 460 applicants based on their commitment to workers' rights through previous educational, work, volunteer, and personal experiences.
A native of Green Bay, Wisconsin, Arendt is active in the Law School's chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union and proudly supported her family and friends in Wisconsin as they protested recent anti-union legislation. She graduated from the University of Minnesota in 2009 with a bachelor's degree in journalism.

A rapper from Chicago claims the Grammy-winning rap star stole his song through a producer named Kajun.
It's been years since Ludacris released the song "Sex Room" featuring Trey Songz back in 2010, but that did not stop a Chicago rapper named Marvo from filing a lawsuit against the Grammy Award-winning rapper and actor for allegedly stealing his original concept. Marvo is suing for a yet unspecified amount which most likely will include unpaid royalties.
In the lawsuit, Marvo claims that he worked on the original composition back in 2009 with producer Kajun, who supposedly sold his song to Ludacris without his knowledge. Apart from changing some parts of the original, Ludacris was said to have kept most of the original lyrics, particularly some written by Marvo such as "welcome to my sex room" and "it's a private party."
"Sex Room" was recorded by Ludacris for his seventh studio album "Battle of the Sexes" and was released as the album's third single. Although Kajun is officially credited as the track's producer, Christopher Bridges and Tremaine Neverson are listed as its writers.
Prior to this latest legal hitch, Ludacris has had his share of controversies over song lyrics, most recent of which was over his 2008 "The Preview" mixtape track "Politics As Usual", where he criticized more than a few prominent political figures like Jesse Jackson, John McCain, George W. Bush and Hillary Clinton. A few more years back in 2002, his lyrics compelled political commentator Bill O'Reilly to call for a boycott of Pepsi products for having Ludacris as an endorser.

Dennis Hopper, Nathan Lane, Kelsey Grammer, Stanley Tucci, George Lopez, and Madeline Carroll have all been picked up to join Kevin Costner in the actor-financed "Swing Vote."
Gathering together to accompany Kevin Costner in the cast list, Dennis Hopper, Nathan Lane, Kelsey Grammer, Stanley Tucci, George Lopez, and newcomer Madeline Carroll have all landed deals to take part in populist comedy "Swing Vote."
While Costner has been confirmed to play an apathetic working-class single dad thrust on the world stage when the presidential election comes down to his vote, Hopper and Grammer are reported to become the Democratic candidate and Republican incumbent with Lane and Tucci potraying their respective campaign managers. Lopez, in the meantime, is billed as the local TV station manager whose town is descended upon by the political machinery of both parties.
Filming is due to begin on July 23 in Albuquerque, New Mexico under the direction of Joshua Michael Stern who is set to perform the task from a script he wrote alongside Jason Richman. Apart from starring, Costner is also financing the flick as well as producing with his longtime partner at Tig Productions, Jim Wilson.

Movie Preview: Shrek the Third
The Moviefone website describes the newest Shrek movie, coming out May 18, like this:
Shrek, Donkey, Puss In Boots and Fiona are back for another fun-and-pun-filled adventure, and this time they're joined by Captain Hook, Sir Lancelot and ... Justin Timberlake as King Arthur?! Long story short: Get ready for some 'Sexyback,' medieval-style.
I'm sorry, but it just seems wrong to merge an animated children's character with the words "Sexyback" and "medieval-style." Regardless, the Shrek the Third trailer was just released today, so check it out.

The 'Voice' host, who first met Siri when she worked as a writer's assistant on Carson's show, reportedly has proposed to his girlfriend after six years of dating.
Carson Daly and his girlfriend Siri Pinter apparently are engaged. A source tells Us Weekly that the host of "The Voice" has proposed to his food blogger girlfriend. The couple sparked engagement report after Siri was spotted wearing a huge diamond ring on her ring finger during an outing in Los Angeles on Saturday, October 5.
Carson and Siri met for the first time when she worked as a writer's assistant on Carson's show "Last Call". The pair, who have been dating for six years, have two children together, 3-year-old son Jack and a 13-month-old daughter Etta Jones.
When asked if he felt pressure to get married after welcoming a child, Carson told Elle in 2012, "Not at all. I think long-lasting, healthy relationships are more important than the idea of marriage. At the root of every successful marriage is a strong partnership. And that's what we have."
The former MTV VJ recently became the face of "Today" show's Orange Room. "I grew up watching all of these guys [on the TODAY show]. Being a guest on the show was fun and then filling in was surreal. [This is] the real pinch me stuff," Carson said.
