Turnbull Stakes Day at Flemington is traditionally regarded as a crucial meeting for Cups and Cox Plate contenders, a fixture where pretenders can have their limitations exposed and genuine chances emerge from nowhere before going on to glory in the following month.
But it's not just the older gallopers who get the chance to state their case for a spot on the main carnival stage. For the emerging three-year-old colts and geldings, it's an opportunity to prove themselves as potential stayers in the 1800 metre UCI Stakes, a race which gives them a chance to show whether they can measure up in the 2500 metre Victoria Derby in four weeks' time.
And trainer Robbie Laing is now hoping that his colt Polanski, a cheaply-bought son of a stallion with ''temperamental issues", might just have enough of his deceased dad's mongrel in him to take out one of the most famous races on the Australian calendar following his success in Saturday's renewal of the race.
Polanski is a horse who has already generated headlines for the wrong reason after a disqualification following a positive swab when he won over 1600 metres at Caulfield as a late two-year-old, costing his trainer a $3000 fine.
Now Laing is hoping that in a month's time he will be front and centre for the right reason, showing that he can prepare a classic youngster just as well as he can groom a horse to win at marathon trips over hurdles and fences, for which he is probably better known.
The son of Rakti cost only $4000 as a yearling, proving that a good horse is truly within anyone's grasp if luck is on their side.
For a trainer in Laing's position, who doesn't have the expensive yearlings that so many of his rivals do and the bulk of whose winners come on the provincial circuit, losing an $80,000 race at Caulfield (which also carried a further $50,000 in bonuses) is like a kick in the guts.
Naturally, he was delighted on Saturday when Polanski was able to kick on 600 metres from home under Dean Yendall and keep going to the line in the $121,000 UCI to at least redress some of the balance.
The fact that Polanski remains a colt at all is a reflection of Laing's willingness to try something different. The Cranbourne-based handler is no stranger to thinking outside the square: after all, he prepared Sir Pentire to win the 2009 running of Australia's longest race, the 5500-metre Grand Annual Steeple at Warrnambool, first up after an absence of more than two years from the track.
Sons of Rakti have a reputation for being a bit difficult and tempramental, but Laing resisted the temptation to geld his cheaply bought horse straight away, reasoning that if those traits made the stallion such a good horse (Rakti won six times at group one level in Europe from 1600 metres to 2200 metres) then maybe they might help his progeny. He also just wanted to see what would happen if he didn't do the obvious thing.
''Rakti was a great horse but around the traps everyone said they (his progeny) were dills and hard to handle,'' he explains.
''Polanski's mother (Citrium) was the dam of two to race, both of whom had won in town. The mare is a full sister to Ballroom Babe, a champion filly in NZ. If I hadn't bid on him, someone would have got him for $2000.
''He had a lovely shoulder on him, he was a good walker, and I was always wanting to get a Rakti and experiment by leaving one of them a colt. Because of their bad manners everyone was quick to geld them and this horse has probably got the same traits as his old man. He bites and kicks a bit, but maybe that's why Rakti was good.
''I just decided we are not cutting this horse, not for breeding reasons but to see what happens if we leave him a bit headstrong.''
Laing has always been aware that the colt has had ability.
''He's always shown us. I told one of the blokes who I was trying to convince to go in him for a thousand dollars, when I parade this horse if I told you it was a quarter of a million dollar yearling by Zabeel you wouldn't doubt me. Once we tidied him up broke him in, he was a cracking type.''
Polanski is likely to meet a number of Saturday's rivals in both the 2000 metres Norman Robinson at Caulfield in 12 days time and the Derby, with connections of Saturday's runner up, Epic Saga, looking to a step up in distance to help them too.
By a Blue Diamond winner and a victor first time out as a two-year-old over 1100 metres, the Ellerton/Zahra trained Epic Saga doesn't, on paper, look as though he should be a stayer, but he is certainly racing like one.
Simon Zahra, one of the training partners, says the gelding is still learning after seven starts. ''He's still hitting a flat spot mid race and that's probably costing him at the moment. He loses his action and panics a bit, but once he's hitting momentum he's hitting the line strong. If he gets through the Robinson safe and sound and is showing no ill effects we will go to the Derby.''

Unlike other things I've seen recently, I do not want to implement shoddy half thought out specs on the fly in CouchDB. If the JSON community picked one, adding support would probably be trivial and useful. Until then I don't really see much of a point in creating some couchdb specific one.

This mixed milk cheese from the Asturias region of Spain is one of the few remaining naturally bluing blues and is as rare as it is delicious. Made from any combination of cow's, goat's, and sheep's milk, this small-production cheese is smoked gently for 10-12 days over apple wood, acquiring a sharp, smoky flavor. Aged no more than three months, this unusual cheese is more subtle than its better known cousins, Cabrales and Valdeón.

Region 'knows Japan's tsunami pain'
Survivors of recent disasters say they are united in grief with Japanese
A tsunami-hit train in Sri Lanka in 2004
March 18, 2011
Countries around Asia that have experienced the pain Japan is currently suffering have been adding their prayers and efforts to the worldwide program to provide aid to the victims of last week's devastating earthquake and tsunami. Many people in Sri Lanka sit glued to their TV screens in shock and sympathy, watching the disaster continuing to unfold. Survivors of the tsunami that devastated many coastal areas of the island on December 26, 2004 remember all too well what it's like to see a huge wave suddenly wreak havoc, killing thousands, washing away homes and destroying many livelihoods. Sri Lankans have never forgotten the aid Japan rushed to them in their hour of need following their own disaster. They are filled with grief and shock that a friend is now facing a severe test of its own. A Japanese witness in Sendai described the scene a week after the disaster. "My relatives who live Ishinomaki could avoid the Tsunami. But they are still a waiting rescue on the roof. "We have never experienced this strong a quake. The aftershocks continue. "Many people were washed away by the tsunami. The crematorium has been damaged and cannot be used now. It means that bodies can not be buried." Officials "expected 5.5m height of tsunami, but this time it was 11m. It was beyond their expectations. After the Tsunami came, 20 members were in the city hall. All members were washed away, and only 10 members were left." A 9.0-magnitude earthquake, the most powerful quake in Japan since records began, struck on March 11 setting of a deadly tsunami that devastated the north east coast of Japan. A damaged power plant has also triggered a nuclear crisis. "People have attended special prayer services and a requiem Mass for the victims of the Japanese tsunami. Caritas held a special Mass on March 16 at the chapel at the Caritas Colombo head office," said Father George Sigamoney, the national director of the Catholic Church's social arm in Sri Lanka. Caritas officials also went to the Japanese embassy to offer their condolences. "Japan as a nation helped us during our time of trouble," said Father Sigamoney. Bishop John Hsane Hgyi of Pathein Diocese, president of the Catholic Bishops Conference of Myanmar, said that "we have experienced the cyclone Nargis and we understand that how much the people of Japan will suffer. "We do really thank Japan as it helps our people to overcome financial problems and able to upgrade our people's living standard. We will continue and urge our people to pray for our friends in Japan." Thailand too suffered in the December 2004 tsunami and the Catholic Bishops Conference of Thailand (CBCT) has sent a sympathy letter to the Japanese Catholic Bishop Conference. "We are now in the process of receiving a needs assessment from the Japanese bishops. At the same time, many churches have been arranging special prayers and Masses for the tragedy," said Father Pipat Rungruangkanokkul, CBCT deputy secretary general. Bishop Banchong Chaiyara of Ubon Ratchathani , who heads the Thai bishops' commission for social development, said his commission has sent letters to all parishes and catholic organizations in the country to do fund raising to support affected persons in Japan. Following the tsunami in 2004, Japan provided much-needed financial aid to Sri Lanka for reconstruction work. Japan has also been one of Sri Lanka's biggest lenders, contributing US$295 million in 2009, according to a Bank of Sri Lanka report. According to embassy reports in Tokyo there are over 12,000 Sri Lankans in Japan, some of them students. "We are in touch with embassy officials as well as Caritas Japan, discussing what relief supplies to send and how to send them," Father Sigamoney said. The tsunami that struck Japan on March 11 has brought back terrifying memories of the tsunami of 2004. "It is right to draw an analogy between ourselves and [other] countries where disasters occur. It is to raise awareness, draw lessons and understand biblical stories," said Father Antony Parananthu Anthonippillai, parish priest of St. Peter's Church, in Mullaitivu district, one of the hardest-hit areas in Sri Lanka after the 2004 tsunami. Nearly 500 people of all faiths in the southern Indian city of Bangalore joined Archbishop Bernard Moras in a candlelit prayer for the people of Japan. Archbishop Moras also expressed concern for the survivors, some of whom are lodged in temporary shelters in freezing temperatures, and the rescue teams. Japanese citizens living in Bangalore and two officials from the Japanese consulate in the city also attended the meeting organized by the Karnataka Regional Catholic Bishops' Conference and the Sumanahalli (village of people of goodwill) Society, which is involved in disaster management. Claretian Father George Kannanthanam, director of Sumanahalli Society, said a meeting which followed the inter-religious prayer decided to set up a project named 'Bless the Japanese'. One of the main activities of the project will be to raise funds for the suffering people in Japan, Father Kannanthanam said. A committee has been formed to initiate the fund raising campaign for the project. The Sri Lankan government has provided US $1 million to go towards relief efforts in Japan. A medical team, comprising doctors, nurses, family health workers and pharmacists, was ready to leave for the disaster zone to care for displaced people. A special desk has also been set up to provide Sri Lankans with information about their loved ones in Japan. Sri Lankan Airlines meanwhile laid on a special flight on March 17 for migrants wishing to return from the country.

Are you an attorney licensed to practice law in the United States? If you are, EFF needs your help to fight spam-igation.
The U.S. Copyright Group has quietly targeted 50,000 Bit Torrent users for legal action in federal court in Washington DC. The defendants, all Does, are accused of having downloaded independent films such as "Far Cry," "Steam Experiment," and "Uncross the Stars" without authorization. U.S. Copyright Group has recently announced that it will also be targeting unauthorized downloaders of the film "Hurt Locker." News reports suggest that the attorneys bringing these suits are not affiliated with any major entertainment companies, but are instead intent on building a lucrative business model built from collecting settlements from the largest possible set of individual defendants.
The lawsuits proceed similarly to the RIAA lawsuits against unauthorized music downloaders: US Copyright Group files a copyright infringement suit in federal court in Washington DC, against thousands of Does, identified by IP address. Then it presents ISP's with the list of IP's and dates and subpoenas the billing address of the user who had that IP at that date. The ISP's then contact then contact their customers, inform them of the subpoena, and give them an opportunity to file a motion to quash.
In the event that no motion to quash is filed, the ISP gives up the identity of the user. US Copyright Group's attorneys then contact the user and offer a settlement, usually starting at $2500.
EFF is seeking as many attorneys as possible to advise the targets of these lawsuits and, where appropriate, file motions to quash. Respondents' contact information would be added to a website that will act as a resource for the targets of these lawsuits.
If interested, please contact Rebecca Reagan at firstname.lastname@example.com with your contact information or the contact information for your firm, and the states in which you are licensed to practice law.
Social network service providers today are in a unique position. They are intermediaries and hosts to our communications, conversations and connections with loved ones, family, friends and colleagues. They have access to extremely sensitive information, including data gathered over time and from many different individuals.
Here at EFF, we've been thinking a lot recently about what specific rights a responsible social network service should provide to its users. Social network services must ensure that users have ongoing privacy and control over personal information stored with the service. Users are not just a commodity, and their rights must be respected. Innovation in social network services is important, but it must remain consistent with, rather than undermine, user privacy and control. Based on what we see today, therefore, we suggest three basic privacy-protective principles that social network users should demand:
#1: The Right to Informed Decision-Making
Users should have the right to a clear user interface that allows them to make informed choices about who sees their data and how it is used.
Users should be able to see readily who is entitled to access any particular piece of information about them, including other people, government officials, websites, applications, advertisers and advertising networks and services.
Whenever possible, a social network service should give users notice when the government or a private party uses legal or administrative processes to seek information about them, so that users have a meaningful opportunity to respond.
#2: The Right to Control
Social network services must ensure that users retain control over the use and disclosure of their data. A social network service should take only a limited license to use data for the purpose for which it was originally given to the provider. When the service wants to make a secondary use of the data, it must obtain explicit opt-in permission from the user. The right to control includes users' right to decide whether their friends may authorize the service to disclose their personal information to third-party websites and applications.
Social network services must ask their users' permission before making any change that could share new data about users, share users' data with new categories of people, or use that data in a new way. Changes like this should be "opt-in" by default, not "opt-out," meaning that users' data is not shared unless a user makes an informed decision to share it. If a social network service is adding some functionality that its users really want, then it should not have to resort to unclear or misleading interfaces to get people to use it.
#3: The Right to Leave
Users giveth, and users should have the right to taketh away.
One of the most basic ways that users can protect their privacy is by leaving a social network service that does not sufficiently protect it. Therefore, a user should have the right to delete data or her entire account from a social network service. And we mean really delete. It is not enough for a service to disable access to data while continuing to store or use it. It should be permanently eliminated from the service's servers.
Furthermore, if users decide to leave a social network service, they should be able to easily, efficiently and freely take their uploaded information away from that service and move it to a different one in a usable format. This concept, known as "data portability" or "data liberation," is fundamental to promote competition and ensure that users truly maintain control over their information, even if they sever their relationship with a particular service.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) has added thousands of never-before-seen records to its online collection of documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). The treasure trove of government records, now up to date and posted on our website in its entirety, is the result of almost 200 FOIA requests and over a dozen lawsuits.
The document collection now includes for the first time:
- documents detailing the Federal Communications Commission's claimed authority to conduct warrantless searches of private residences;
- tens of thousands of pages of records describing the FBI's misuse of its authority to issue National Security Letters;
- a summary of complaints to the Department of Homeland Security's Traveler Redress Inquiry Program (TRIP);
- a description of the Department of Homeland Security's role in the Comprehensive National Cybersecurity Initiative;
- a set of government contracts with Google and other technology firms for the digitization of government files;
- documents related to the FBI's capacity to conduct surveillance on Skype, the internet telephony protocol; and
- copies of the National Science Foundation's grant awards for wireless microelectromechanical sensor technology, so-called "smart dust."
All of these documents, along with the rest of EFF's FOIA repository, can be accessed directly or searched using EFF's FOIA document search tool.
Today we are publishing a report of the statistical results from the Panopticlick experiment on web browser fingerprintability.
The results show that the overwhelming majority of Internet users could be uniquely fingerprinted and tracked using only the configuration and version information that their browsers make available to websites. These types of system information should be regarded as identifying, in much the same way that cookies, IP addresses, and supercookies are.
In our analysis of anonymized data from around half a million distinct browsers, 84% had unique configurations. Among browsers that had Flash or Java installed, 94% were unique, and only 1% had fingerprints that were seen more than twice. However, our experiment only studied a limited number of variables, and the companies that offer specialized fingerprinting services are likely to use a wider and therefore more powerful range of measurements.
While almost all browsers are uniquely fingerprintable, there were four special categories that were comparatively resistant to fingerprinting:
- Those that use TorButton, which successfully anticipated and defended against many fingerprinting measurements.
- Mobile devices like Androids and iPhones (unfortunately, these devices tend not to have good interfaces for controlling cookies, and so may be trackable by that method)
- Corporate desktop machines that are precise clones of one another (Such systems appeared to constitute around 3-4% of the visitors to Panopticlick; unfortunately, there are some fingerprinting techniques like CPU clock skew measurement which would will work against these systems. commercial fingerprinting services employ those techniques).
Ultimately, browser developers will need to take the lead in defending their users against this particularly troublesome form of tracking. That won't be easy, but our article includes a number of recommendations about how to start.
These results will be presented at the Privacy Enhancing Technologies Symposium in July.
[Click here and here for earlier blog posts about the Gizmodo warrant.]
Today, San Mateo County Superior Court Judge Clifford Cretan ordered the release of the previously-sealed warrant affidavit that led to the search of Gizmodo editor Jason Chen's house. As expected, the affidavit confirmed that there was no legal basis for the search.
The search warrant affidavit does indeed allege that Jason Chen committed three crimes: receipt of stolen property (California Penal Code section 496(a)), theft (California Penal Code section 499c(b)(3)), and "maliciously damaging the property of another" (California Penal Code section 594(b)(1)). Whether Chen will even be charged with such crimes, let alone convicted, remains to be seen. But as we have repeatedly pointed out, the warranted search and seizure of Chen's property was still illegal.
In his recent article titled "iPhone, Gizmodo, and Moral Clarity About Crime," Rutgers law professor Stuart Green argued that the decision to seek a warrant was justified and that critics who question this decision must be confused, misguided, or "legally mistaken." Professor Green flatly misstated the law. Contrary to his assertion, there is no "specific exemption" to what Green refers to as the California reporter's shield law "when the police are looking for evidence that the journalists … themselves committed crimes." Moreover, the shield law itself, which is a testimonial privilege, however, that protects journalists who refuse to testify about sources and unpublished information, is not directly relevant to the Chen raid at all.
Instead, the applicable statute is California Penal Code section 1524(g), which categorically prohibits the issuance of warrants for "unpublished information obtained or prepared in gathering, receiving or processing of information for communication to the public." This is a limitation on the warrant process itself and does not affect the potential legal liability of a journalist-suspect. Contrary to the assertions of Professor Green, George Washington University Law School Professor Jonathan Turley, and others, it contains no exemption, specific or otherwise, that limits its reach.
The California Supreme Court has said that the reporter's testimonial privilege might give way in very limited circumstances, such as when another constitutional right (like a defendant's right to a fair trial) comes into play. No such right is implicated here. And in any event, the California Supreme Court has never second-guessed the California legislature's judgment in passing the Penal Code section at issue here. Nor is it likely to, since the protection provided by 1524(g) was specifically enacted to limit the ability of law enforcement to search journalists pursuant to a search warrant, a protection that the U.S. Supreme Court held was not found in the U.S. Constitution.
The protections afforded to Chen by the California Penal Code will likely not affect the potential prosecution of any crime here. The police already know the identity of the person who purportedly found the phone and passed it on to Gizmodo. The allegedly stolen phone was returned to Apple before the raid. Moreover, the police also have Gizmodo's detailed video analysis of the iPhone prototype, which would likely come in handy as evidence at any eventual trial. What the police will lose, if Chen's attorneys choose to press the issue, is the information that they illegally seized. The police could then try to subpoena a small subset of this information from Chen directly. (Recall that all of Chen's computers and all of the data on them were seized in the raid). The issuance of a subpoena would would allow Chen and Gizmodo to challenge the validity of the district attorney's legal position, a far different posture than the one Chen found himself in after armed police officers bashed in his door.
San Mateo prosecutors are predictably circling the wagons to defend the raid. The D.A. agreed to halt any search of Chen's computers while he evaluates the implication of California legal protections for journalists, conceding that such a post-raid analysis is "unusual." This concession speaks volumes about how much thought went into this raid before it took place. It should also give pause to commentators who have ignored the extent of the legal ramifications triggered by the search and instead rushed to the defense of the police, confusing a desire to force the police to comply with the law with an attack on the enforceability of trade secret or copyright law.
Opposition to the police raid of Jason Chen's home has nothing to do with misplaced support for a scrappy underdog or an affinity for schoolyard conceptions of right and wrong. Objections to overreaching police power are rooted in both a dedication to free speech and freedom of the press and in a fealty to the rule of law. The relevant legal question in the Chen matter is whether the police obtained a warrant for "unpublished information obtained or prepared in gathering, receiving or processing of information for communication to the public." Obviously, they did. If critics believe that police should be able to execute warrants to seize unpublished notes and other data held by journalists – and I would urge them to think through the ramifications of such a decision – then the proper course is to lobby the legislature for such a change to the very clear statute that is now in place, not to pretend that the law already supports their position.
About a year ago, Facebook suffered a tremendous consumer backlash over its changes to the Terms of Service. To quell the uproar, Facebook introduced a set of Principles. Through a "Facebook site governance" vote, users voted on whether these Principles should serve as the foundation for governing the site." At the time, the company trumpeted the success of the vote, by which about 75% of voters selected the new Facebook Principles: "We strongly believe that our proposed documents satisfied the concerns raised in February." As Facebook explains, the Principles are "the foundation of the rights and responsibilities of those within the Facebook Service." A year later, the foundation is cracking.
Now Facebook flatly contradicts its own stated Principles. The contradictions are clearly shown in Facebook's widely panned ([1][2][3][4][5]) response to New York Times readers' questions on the social network's brave new privacy practices. A reader asked Elliot Schrage, Facebook's vice president for public policy, the key question: "Why can't I control my own information anymore?"
The answer should have been easy. Facebook's Principles declare:
People should have the freedom to decide with whom they will share their information, and to set privacy controls to protect those choices.
Instead of saying "Sorry, we'll fix it," Facebook's response was dismissive. The company said that "Joining Facebook is a conscious choice" and more bluntly, "If you're not comfortable sharing, don't." It's Facebook's way or the highway. Schrage lists the information that Facebook requires to be public information, focusing on how people choose to submit this information and make connections instead of Facebook's choice to remove privacy controls.
Another reader asked "Why not simply set everything up for opt-in rather than opt-out?" Facebook's answer was a strange exercise in Newspeak - "Everything is opt-in on Facebook. Participating in the service is a choice." In Facebook's view, simply by signing up for the Facebook service, one has opted in to whatever sharing it later desires — even if you are one of the over 300 million users who joined before the switch to "public information" without privacy controls. Facebook is going to share the information it deems public, and you're supposed to Like it.
This is not the freedom of choice that Facebook's previously vaunted Principles declare. The "foundation for governing" Facebook does not speak of control as the choice whether to share information, but with whom. Facebook's promises speak of protecting users with privacy controls, not withholding the information.
Facebook's Principles also declare that "Every Person should be able to use the Facebook Service regardless of his or her level of participation or contribution." Now Facebook suggests that the users who aren't willing to play ball must leave.
Of course, as Facebook explains in response to another question, if you decide to leave by deactivating your account, information is saved in case you decide to reactivate later. Even if you delete your Facebook account, you have to wait 14 days and even then Messages and Wall posts remain. The Facebook Principles are much clearer: Users have the right to "take [their data] with them anywhere they want, including removing it from the Facebook Service." Again Facebook is not living up to its promises.
These promises are important. These are the reassurances that helped people decide whether to trust Facebook with their information. They should not be discarded lightly, with glib quips like "Please don't share if you're not comfortable." If Facebook truly believes that its users "should have the freedom to share whatever information they want," it must enable that sharing by making people comfortable.
Facebook wrote these Principles and designed them to not only reassure its users, but to give itself wiggle room for the future. It is a carefully drafted document, and Facebook has no excuse not to live up to the minimum standards it set out for itself. If Facebook wants to regain the trust of its users, following its own principles would be a good place to start.
Prolific author and blogger, tireless advocate of freedom in the networked world, Cory Doctorow's voice is needed now more than ever. His new novel "For the Win" hits the stores today, and he will be making a rare appearance here in San Francisco at EFF's Geek Reading on Wednesday May 19th.
Here's how his publisher describes the story:
At any hour of the day or night, millions of people around the globe are engrossed in multiplayer online games, questing and battling to win virtual "gold," jewels, and precious artifacts. Meanwhile, others seek to exploit this vast shadow economy, running electronic sweatshops in the world's poorest countries, where countless "gold farmers," bound to their work by abusive contracts and physical threats, harvest virtual treasure for their employers to sell to First World gamers who are willing to spend real money to skip straight to higher-level gameplay.
Mala is a brilliant 15-year-old from rural India whose leadership skills in virtual combat have earned her the title of "General Robotwalla." In Shenzen, heart of China's industrial boom, Matthew is defying his former bosses to build his own successful gold-farming team. Leonard, who calls himself Wei-Dong, lives in Southern California, but spends his nights fighting virtual battles alongside his buddies in Asia, a world away. All of these young people, and more, will become entangled with the mysterious young woman called Big Sister Nor, who will use her experience, her knowledge of history, and her connections with real-world organizers to build them into a movement that can challenge the status quo.
If you're in San Francisco, come support EFF and hear a great contemporary science fiction author read from his latest work!

Should US and European law enforcement agencies be given unrestricted access to commercial and travel transactions from individuals around the world without judicial oversight? That was the question on the table in a heated debate in the European Parliament this week.
In the early years of the so-called "War On Terror", the US government created a number of secret programs that granted it and its agents sweeping new global surveillance powers. In particular, the US Treasury Department has sought and been given access to financial information held by the SWIFT network to find and track down individuals suspected of terrorism as part of its Terrorism Finance Tracking Program. Another agreement requires all airlines flying to the US to provide the Department of Homeland Security with full electronic access to detailed personal information on all passengers, in the form of Passenger Name Records (PNRs).
Europeans have long been arguing that handing over this information to US law enforcement agencies violates privacy rights protected by European legislation. But when the Lisbon Treaty and the European Charter of Fundamental Rights entered into force at the end of 2009, personal data protection was greatly strengthened in Europe. In addition, the European Parliament now has a crucial right to give or withhold consent to these international data-sharing agreements. This year, the European Parliament has used its new powers to demand that the European Commission and European Council address serious data protection, privacy and due process concerns.
Read on to hear more about the debate in European Parliament.
No Financial Data Sharing Agreement
On the financial data transfer agreements, yesterday the Parliament adopted a resolution stating that indiscriminate bulk data transfers bypass EU legislation. Members of Parliament also demanded that any possible future agreement guarantee European citizens the same rights as US citizens in the event of an abuse of the data; currently only US citizens and permanent residents can claim rights under the US Privacy Act - EU citizens have no redress. The Parliament has also demanded access to any documents that demonstrate the actual need for these agreements.
SWIFT is a banking network, headquartered in Brussels, that routes financial data between 8,300 financial institutions in over 208 countries. There have been several previous SWIFT interim agreements, all of which have ignored existing legal safeguards against government abuse of citizens' data. This was the primary reason why the European Parliament rejected the latest interim-agreement last February. These accords allow US law enforcement agencies to access citizens' financial data held by the SWIFT network with complete immunity, bypassing court-approved warrants or subpoenas required to examine specific transactions. As Dutch MEP Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert said, "with the proposed [rejected] interim-agreement we, instead, rely on broad administrative subpoenas for millions of records of European citizens".
No Travelers' Passenger Records Agreement
On the Passenger Name Records (PNR) accord, the European Parliament yesterday decided to postpone its vote to approve or reject the agreement until a standard Passenger Name Record file model is devised that meets Parliament's demands regarding data protection. The Parliament Resolution calls for any future PNR agreement to be created as a binding international treaty. The Resolution further demanded an appropriate mechanisms for independent review, judicial oversight and democratic control. The interim PNR agreement requires all airlines flying to the US to provide the Department of Homeland Security with full electronic access to detailed personal information on all passengers.
Between 2004 and 2007, three consecutive agreements between the US Department of Homeland Security and the Council of the European Union were negotiated, over the objections of the European Parliament. In 2004, the European Court of Justice annulled the 2004 agreement on the basis of a complaint made by the European Parliament. The 2007 PNR agreement required 19 categories of data to be collected, stored and disclosed to US law enforcement authorities. As European lawmakers said, "PNR data, which was originally collected for commercial purposes, is increasingly being used to combat crime."
What's next?
While the European Parliament is now playing an important role in calling for information on the need for these agreements, and plans to scrutinize the agreements to see whether they're limited to law enforcement purposes (and not for instance, for copyright enforcement), by comparison, the US Congress currently plays no role in oversight of their negotiation.
So where does all of this leave citizens who are concerned about this massive government effort to collect, use, and disclose their personal data, without judicial oversight? There is growing recognition that legally enforceable data protection standards and legal safeguards against intrusive warrantless electronic surveillance of private information are needed.
These privacy protection concepts are embodied in Article 17 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the most important international treaty that protects the right to privacy. In analyzing Article 17, the UN Special Rapporteur has highlighted the erosion of the right to privacy in the fight against terrorism. In its 2009 annual report, he emphasized "the need for a comprehensive data protection and privacy law that creates limits on the use, storage, and disclosure of the information, and that they have a right to access and redress, regardless of nationality and jurisdiction."

HostGator and HostMonster both offers 24/7/365 US based technical support via free phone call, e-mail, and live chat. Besides, both companies support online discussion board and hundreds of video tutorials. However, we still feel that HostMonster has done a better job than HostGator.
The support staffs of HostMonster are all very patient and professional. With holding times that average less than 30 seconds, they can assure the customers' problems to be resolved as soon as possible. Compared with HostMonster, HostGator customer service is a little bit worse than it used to be. The customers need to wait for a couple of minutes for response – perhaps because of the larger number of customers HostGator is serving for now.
Conclusion > Which Shall You Go?
HostGator and HostMonster are both trusted shared we hosting companies. However, it is clearly demonstrated that HostMonster offers the better web hosting service for personal website usage, including the cheap price, rich features, excellent performance, and outstanding customer service.

This post was originally published on Mashable.
Yo is about to expand its functionality and its vocabulary.
The app, which gained a tremendous amount of attention in June when news broke that it had raised a seven-figure funding round just to let users say "yo" to one another, is attempting to offer a new set of features with its biggest update to date.
With the latest version of Yo, users can attach links to their messages and express support for topics by sending a quick hashtag message. In a hint of how it may work with marketers down the road, Yo also notes that brands, TV shows and websites can now see a running tally of how many times their hashtag has been shared in the app.
The more promising feature is the Yo Index, which shows a running list of websites and services that are taking advantage of Yo's API to send notifications to users. In the US users can have have FedEx send a "yo" when a package is ready, or receive a "yo" from YouTube when a new video is uploaded by an specific artist, or get a "yo" when there is an earthquake greater than a certain magnitude.
Yo received plenty of criticism early on for being little more than a silly app. "People don't get it. They think that it's just an app that says 'Yo,'" Or Arbel, the app's creator, told Mashable in an interview at the time. "What we see is a whole new way to get notifications — life notifications — from friends, family..."
With the new updates, the start-up hopes it can finally demonstrate its full potential without doing away with the simplicity that made it stand out to begin with.
"This version shows the real power of the Yo platform which is, at its most basic, a two-way communication platform between people, websites, brands, businesses and virtually anything that can connect to the internet," the company said in a blog post announcing the updates. "The app core functionality and simple interface hasn't changed. We work hard to keep it simple."
Yo announced last month that it had raised $US1.5 million from investors including Betaworks and Mashable founder Pete Cashmore.
Editor's note: Mashable CEO Pete Cashmore's personal investment in Yo in no way influences the decisions of editorial coverage or analysis.

Club for Growth vice president Andy Roth said that at this point, his organization is
talking about the upcoming House vote, not an eventual vote on whatever
comes back from the Senate.
The House Appropriations Committee was scrambling Thursday to come up with additional cuts after freshmen balked at a committee bill only cutting $58 billion in non-security discretionary spending compared to the Obama 2011 budget proposal.
That bill would have cut $74 billion overall, with $16 billion coming from security spending.
Like the Republican Study Committee, the Club is seeking the cut compared to the Obama 2011 budget, not the current level of spending, which remains roughly at 2010 levels.
Roth said that $16 billion should not be counted toward the total, but it appeared Thursday that appropriations is seeking to count the $16 billion to reach the magic $100 billion number.
The Heritage Foundation also wants the cut total to be made without pulling from security funding.
"We will make $100 billion in discretionary cuts while making common sense exceptions for our troops and veterans – just as the Pledge promises," House Appropriations Committee spokeswoman Jennifer Hing said Thursday.
The Pledge to America did not use the term "non-security discretionary spending," although GOP officials later used the term.

How are your efforts to align with the business and migrate to the cloud going? What role is security playing?
Many security leaders are struggling to find the path to a more secure cloud. That's why it was the first topic in the Leading Security Change series.
Consumed with addressing the concerns, have you overlooked a key element of your success? Your team.
An insight courtesy of Timothy De Block (LinkedIn, Twitter), co-founder of ColaSec. "We focus on getting executive buy-in. But what about the security team? Without buy-in from them cloud implementation becomes a much more difficult process."
He's right.
Often we overlook our team in the pursuit of business alignment. We just expect they'll come along for the ride. We expect them to just follow our lead.
We need their buy-in. It is the key to championing a more secure cloud across the organization. It leads to better solutions that improve how we protect systems and information.
The evolving relationship between security and the cloud
As De Block explains, "ask someone in security about the cloud and note the hesitation. Some are starting to see the benefits of cloud, but most remain skeptical. A lot of that has to do with trusting another entity to do the job. Job security and handing over responsibilities is another concern. A diminished role has the perception of the eventual elimination of that role."
Security leaders are under pressure. As executives signal a move to the cloud, they can lead, react, or get cut out of the process. That pressure and decision impacts the team, too.
The downside of a disengaged team
What happens when the team doesn't see the benefit of the cloud?
According to De Block, it starts a cascade of events. "A security team without buy in has no motivation to see adoption succeed. That's not to say that a team member would sabotage a project, but mistakes are more likely."
It's natural.
Most security teams have more work than time. When they aren't supportive of the cloud migration, it becomes a secondary focus. The attitude reflects in their discussions and the meetings they attend. Requests for reviews get delayed in favor of more interesting, more pressing efforts.
The friction created by the security team is often expected. And handled in a predictable way. Labeled a roadblock preventing process, the security team gets cut out of the process. No more invites to meetings. Decisions made without security input.
Security leaders no longer get judged based on their individual efforts. The experience others have with the team impacts how others perceive the security leader.
This isn't what security wants.
The security team actually wants what everyone else wants
De Block is quick to point out "the security team wants what everyone in the organization wants. They seek inclusion in the decision making process. To make valuable contributions to the organization, and to enjoy those contributions."
Most security practitioners are passionate, clever, and curious. How are you tapping into that opportunity?
A benefit of the cloud is the "forcing function" -- improving security for everyone. Is your team encouraged to explore those options? Are they experiencing the upside of the cloud? Do they get to experiment and test as part of their responsibilities?
As De Block explains, "the result of that freedom is how they explore cloud technology on their own. This leads to a better understanding of the technology. The benefits, weaknesses, and even creative solutions to difficult problems."
Unleash your team to learn and solve problems. Learn from their experience. Let them bring that positive attitude and experience to meetings. Earn the recognition as problem solvers and accelerators of the process.
Instead of shunning security, people start inviting them to more meetings.
Enable the business by enabling your team first
The cloud is changing the way we do business. It's challenging the way we secure our systems and information. How are you serving the needs of your team on this journey?
Let people voice their concerns. Celebrate solutions. Figure out how to use the power of cloud solutions to benefit the team. Maybe it's a way to outsource important functions. Or automate important tasks. Show how it frees up time and energy. Focus on higher value efforts as a result.
De Block sees some extra benefits to empowering the team, too. "Let them see that the cloud not only benefits the business, but also benefits them. We are all aware of the information security and skills shortage. The cloud is a good solution for overcoming some of those challenges."
Check out the roadmap and insights shared in Leading Security Change: The Way to a Secure Cloud. Use it as a conversation starter with your team. Then bring the conversation to others. Work together to get them what they want -- with better protections.
Your team is the key to better business alignment. As they interface with other teams, they make better security possible. Feed their needs and everyone wins.

text: Homeopathy is one form of complementary/alternative medicine which is promoted as being a safe and effective form of treatment for children and adults. Within the UK homeopathy use is estimated at 1.9% of the adult population (Thomas 2004), and around 11% for children under 16 years (Simpson 2001). There has been increased interest in homeopathy's potential as a non-pharmacological intervention for attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder as an alternative to the use of stimulant medications such as Ritalin. Homeopathy is a system of medicine based on the principle of treating "like with like" using various dilutions of natural or man-made substances.

Its gonna be a long summer of speculation, and after a boring weds night I wanted to get peoples thoughts about this interesting scene....
In the final shot of The Incident Pt. 2 after Juliet "detonates" the bomb and the flash occurs there is a quick shot of a green eye and a gasp. I have heard a lot of people assuming this is Jacks eye and, if so, is eerily reminiscent of the Pilot scene in which Jack wakes up in the woods after the crash of flight 815. Now Im not sure chicken or the egg in LOST but could it possibly be that Jack/losties flash to the present and that scene is played out again except they were already on the Island and not on the plane. They may be able to play out everything that already happened and get a second chance to make things right A.C. (after original 815 crash). Love, life, death....etc
It also could just be that its a recurring scene and he wakes up in the woods a third time (815, 316, After Incident) and it could be 07/08 in the shadow preparing for the "war" and meeting with Sun, Locke 2.0, Ben etc.
All wild speculation at this point but I was wondering if anyone else had anything to add?
