DMCA Copyright/IP Infringement & WordPress
I am in the final stages of customization and I am confronted with a DMCA /CC issue regarding the handling of the images within WordPress. (This does not just apply to the U.S.)
I will be posting licenced content, either via Subscription or via Creative Commons. The server prevents indexing, but I am adding index.php files in each of the image directories anyway. I added .htaccess commands to prevent the hotlinking of image files from the outside. Note: I was advised by one major photo source that I would be personally responsible for images made available by my site or webpages, if someone copied them. The fines were huge.
I am just faced with one final issue, that is the prevention of someone either right mouse clicking on the image and saving it off as a local file or by accessing the file directly from a browser.
1) Regarding the first issue, setting the image as a background image and then placing a transparent over as the primary image prevents one from right mouse clicking the file. Even in Firefox, you cannot select the background image unless you have access to it. When a pirate tries to copy the file, they get a transparent dummy file in its place.
The technique is described here, as method #2:
Many sections and functions of WordPress do not allow this technique to be used. Watermarking is not really a solution and can cause problems with some licensing.
2) The ability to prevent someone from directly accessing the file from a browser. If someone wants the file, they should access it from the WordPress webpage only. Some sore of restricted directory is needed and the images are accessed from WordPress alone.
One single lawsuit could decimate most every site operator on the Internet. Copyright lawsuits are now becoming a new revenue source for photographers, image sourcers and authors as a way to supplement their revenues. There are several lawfirms buying up newspaper articles and then suing sites who allow user commentors to paste their copyrighted text within them.
- All sites who allow third-party posters MUST file a DMCA Copyright "Interim Designation of Agent to Receive Notification of Claim Infringement" form to protect yourself under the DMCA 512c Safe Harbor law, else a poster pasteing someone else's text could open your site up for a lawsuit.
Is there a way to add in background/forground image support in the theme and restrict direct image access so that us website operators don't get pinched for a potential $150K copyright infringement lawsuit which compounds over the amount of infractions?
- The topic 'DMCA Copyright/IP Infringement & WordPress' is closed to new replies.

Watch: Take A Look Behind Nam Joo Hyuk And Shin Se Kyungs Kiss Scene And Water Fight In Bride Of The Water God
On August 7, tvN released a behind-the-scenes video of Nam Joo Hyuk and Shin Se Kyung in Bride of the Water God.
In the first part of the video, they engage in a water fight that starts off mildly but quickly intensifies. By the end of the fun water fight, the two actors are both soaking wet.
After this scene, the clip shows what happened behind the scenes of their latest kiss scene. Nam Joo Hyuk looks visibly nervous, and he says, Im just unfamiliar with this. Ive never done it like this.

This is the first entry in the category on the blog called "Little Bit in Love with…" It's just things that I find cool, helpful, interesting, inspirational, educational, funny, yummy or just plain fun. In other words, they're tips and recommendations and a lot of them will probably consist of books, movies, music, and websites but who knows, I could fall in love with a many a splendid thing as there are many things out there to fall in love with.
So I'm definitely a little bit in love with Gretchen Rubin and The Happiness Project. It is a great book that I picked up because I read a few reviews in my fav mags which you will realize I read and get much information and many ideas from such as Elle, Vanity Fair, Marie Claire, Entertainment Weekly, O Magazine – several of my interviews in my book come from reading articles in these magazines, oddly enough (yes, I know what you might be thinking, but they are not all fluff and fashion.) And then when I went to look at my book on Amazon when it first got put up there for pre-sales, I saw that it was recommended to me in that section that says, "if you like this book, you might like…" and The Happiness Project was the first one listed. Hmmm. Need to check this book out. Then I was in a clothing store, (Anthropologie) and saw the book sitting there so I picked it up and read the flaps and the first sentence says, "Gretchen Rubin had an epiphany one rainy afternoon in the unlikeliest of places: a city bus." Yes, that's right – an epiphany. I had to get it of course, and once I started it, I found I could hardly put it down! This was quite unexpected because it seemed to be a 'self-help' or 'how to' book and I thought it would be informative but not fun reading. WRONG! So funny. So real. So inspirational because this woman gets SO much accomplished but she's not Patty Perfect and admits the failures as well as the triumphs. Her research is thorough and excellent and everything is incredibly useful and doable. And hey, if she's doing it with 2 kids, I can do it. She did a lot of research in Positive Psychology, which I love and follow and I interviewed Barbara Fredrickson, one of the leaders in the field, for my book. Gretchen also has this amazing blog and website and you can see her in videos and she is a very faithful blogger, extremely organized and diligent, unlike, (clear my throat), yours truly. I'm getting better though, right? About once a week now!
Everyone I have referred this book to loves it. And you might be thinking, you should interview Gretchen about her epiphany! And you would be the kind of person who thinks like me. I emailed her to ask for one and she immediately emailed me back herself saying she was too swamped right now but to definitely be in touch in the future and best of luck with my book. Very sweet, very cool, just like she was/is in her book. Another more personal thing I gained from her is that she says for years she has collected passages from books, quotes, spent hours in the library doing these kinds of things for no reason – just because it brought her joy and she just had to. And she realized later that this is part of being a writer. I have never heard of anyone else doing that – I've always done that! I used to think I was a bit strange and I've had people (well, mainly one person) make fun of me for holding onto files of just random musings and quotes and passages and notebooks of these kinds of things because they were seemingly useless and a waste of my time — but I too have just always had to do it. But she said she discovered this is all part of being a writer … so I had a mini- epiphany of, "hey, maybe I really am a writer and have been all along." This is my first book and it came out of a film project I was developing so I think because I've done so many other things that maybe I wasn't really thinking of myself as a real writer yet. But a lot of the people I ended up interviewing came out of magazine articles I'd torn out over the years and just put in a file. Quotes from people led to ideas of who to interview and led me to certain questions. It's interesting. Because of reading about her realization about this, it made me realize that perhaps I really do belong in the tribe of writers. Anyway, just a little personal epiphany I had in reading this book, but there are many to be had…I recommend at least checking out her website – you can even start your own Happiness Project! She has Happiness Project Toolboxes for you to get started…Happiness Project Club, anyone?

im now 18 i have nothing to show for my life and im so depressed. im not happy about my weight and height my dad walked out on me and my mum when i was a baby so ive never known him. i hate the way i look and that ive never stuck at anything. i fucked up in school and just gave up. i then had a gap year where i just smoked weed allot to get some joy outa life. i never stuck at anything like i said i went football training for like 6 months then gave up, i did music lessons and ended up braking the guitar strings aswell as not being able to play music. i tryed skateboarding and after around 2 months the fun went.i dont have a car or moped i have nothing to show for my life.
Guitar Lessons: My Life Is Just Depressing?
Kill your self.
You control your life. If you want to make something of your life then you have to step up and do it. Don't sit here and say you have nothing to show for your life because your the one who made it that way. Your capable of doing anything you want but YOU have to put forth the effort and make things happen, it wont just be handed to you.
Right, you're 18 and this is how you feel now?
You can easily change this in a matter of bit of time.
Dont be depressed because it will only hurt you more and stress you further.
weight cane be changed by yourself. with you still being young, your body hasnt set in a position yet, you can tone yourself and make your reflection look exactly how you want it to. As for height…well, unfortunately thats inherited lol unless you go on to steroids, which i highly disagree with. My dad doesnt win the father-of-the-year award either. I hate mine too. Dont let that become your excape route in life though because if we blame our past, how can we ever perfect our future?
Why dont you look at whats important to you in life? what does your mum want from you? What does she want to see you become?
what do you want to do with your life?
dont sit there as a failure because if you do, thats your whole life gone down the drain. We dont want that. Reach for the moon. Set a goal and achieve it. The only person stopping you is yourself.
stand up, brush yourself off and become a new person. You can do this.

Wiki Double Barrel on Page 2
|Dave Barker
|Birth name
|David John Crooks
|10 October 1948 (1948-10-10) (age 69)
Franklyn Town, Kingston, Jamaica
|Associated acts
|The Techniques, Dave and Ansell Collins
Dave Barker (born David John Crooks, 10 October 1948,[1] Franklyn Town, Kingston, Jamaica)[2][3] is a reggae and rocksteady singer who has made a string of solo albums along with recordings as a member of The Techniques and as half of the duo Dave and Ansell Collins.
Crooks was born in 1948 and raised by his grandmother and three uncles from the age of 4 after his mother emigrated to England in 1952 (his father emigrated to the United States before he was born).[3][4] He developed a stammer after beatings from his uncles and teachers, but began singing as a teenager, inspired by James Brown and Otis Redding, whom he heard on American radio stations.[4]
His first group was the Two Tones, formed with friends Brenton Matthews and Fathead, who recorded unsuccessfully for Duke Reid.[4] Barker had a brief stint in Winston Riley's Techniques, singing alongside Riley and Bruce Ruffin,[2] and formed a duo with Glen Brown in the duo Glen and Dave, recording for both Harry J and Coxsone Dodd, while also working in the pressing plant at Studio One.[2][4] Brown introduced Crooks to Lee "Scratch" Perry, suggesting that Perry get Crooks to voice a track at a recording session. The resulting track was "Prisoner of Love", and led to Crooks becoming a regular vocalist for Perry, who decided Crooks should record as Dave Barker, and encouraged American-style deejay vocals in addition to Barker's usual high tenor singing.[2][3][4] Barker had hit singles with "Shocks of a Mighty" and "Spinning Wheel" (with Melanie Jonas), followed in 1970 by his debut album Prisoner of Love. Working with Perry at the same time as The Wailers, Barker toasted over the latter's "Small Axe" for 1971's "Shocks 71". March 1971 brought international fame as part of a duo with Ansell Collins. "Double Barrel" was a number 1 hit in the United Kingdom, and was also the first recording on which drummer Sly Dunbar played.[5] "Double Barrel" was followed in June of the same year with a number 7 UK hit in the form of "Monkey Spanner".[5] The duo failed to sustain success in the UK, and Collins returned to Jamaica, with Barker settling in England and embarking once again on a solo career, releasing 1976's In The Ghetto, which while credited to Dave and Ansell Collins, was a solo effort.[5] He then joined vocal group Chain Reaction along with Bruce Ruffin and Bobby Davis, targeting the soul market, but without great success. Barker has continued to record, including a live album featuring Barker playing with The Selecter.
In 2005 Dave Barker performed a couple of tracks with UK ska/ reggae band The Riffs [6] at Club Ska in London. A version of Double Barrel (recorded with The Riffs) was released on The Riffs - Live at Club Ska album the following year on Moon Ska Records.
He appeared as a guest on The Radcliffe & Maconie BBC Radio 6 Music show on 20 August 2012 talking extensively about the music he was influenced by and the music had created alongside Ansell and about Jamaica's independence.

text: Thursday, July 17, 2014, 2:30 a.m. – the Lord Jesus put the song in mind, "Arise and Shine." Speak, Lord, your words to my heart. I read Isaiah 66 (NIV). Who Tremble "These are the ones I look on with favor: those who are humble and contrite in spirit, and who tremble at my word." ~ Is. 66:2b God has regard for and approves of those who are humble (not prideful), submissive, obedient, repentant (who turn away from sin), and who are respectful of God; who honor him as the holy God he is, and who revere and respect his holy word (Cf. Ps. 51:17; Ac. 3:19; Ac. 9:31; Ac. 17:30; Ac. 20:21; 2 Co. 7:10; Phil. 2:12; 1 Pet. 1:17; Rev. 14:7). So, what should this look like? Well, for one, I believe we must come to the cross of Jesus, humbled at the very notion that our God would have died for our sins, and that he would love such ones as us who are so utterly sinful. We must acknowledge our own sinfulness, and realize we are no different from anyone else. We are all sinners (See Ro. 3:23). Then, in accepting God's invitation to his great salvation, we must willingly die with Christ to the sins which once enslaved us, we must allow the Spirit of God to transform our hearts and minds away from sin and to God, and we must then walk in Christ's righteousness and holiness, in the power and working of his Spirit within us, no longer conformed to the ways of this world (See Ro. 6-8; 2 Co. 5:15; Gal. 2:20; Eph. 4:17-24; Tit. 2:11-14 & 1 Jn. 1-5). Then, as we grow in our relationships with Jesus Christ, in our daily walks of faith with him, we continually, by the Spirit, put to death the misdeeds of our bodies (See Ro. 8:13; Ro. 12:1-2; Eph. 4-5; & Heb. 12). We resist Satan, flee temptation, and we draw near to God (See Jas. 4:6-8; 1 Co. 6:18; 2 Tim. 2:22). We spend time daily at Jesus' feet, listening to him speak to us through his word, and through his Spirit within us, and then we do what his word teaches us (See Jas. 1:22; Ro. 6:17; Heb. 5:9; & 1 Jn. 2:3; 3:22; 5:3). Jesus is now our Lord, i.e. he is now the one in charge of our lives. No longer is our desire to live in sin and to live for our own selfish desires, although we will still be tempted in that way, but our desire is for our Lord and to please him (See Gal. 6:8; Col. 1:10; 1 Thess. 4:1; 2 Tim. 2:4). Their Own Ways But whoever sacrifices a bull is like one who kills a person, …and whoever burns memorial incense is like one who worships an idol. They have chosen their own ways, and they delight in their abominations; so I also will choose harsh treatment for them and will bring on them what they dread. For when I called, no one answered, when I spoke, no one listened. They did evil in my sight and chose what displeases me." In contrast to those who are humble and contrite in spirit, and who respect and honor God's holy word, are those who worship the "gods" of their own making, and who choose to go their own way, instead of following God's way. Instead of delighting in the Lord, they find great enjoyment in their own disgusting and revolting acts. Instead of sitting at Jesus' feet each day, listening to him speak, and doing what he says, they don't listen to God, and they don't answer the call of God upon their lives. And, instead of their desire being for the Lord and for doing what pleases him, they do evil in God's sight and they choose what displeases him. This may be speaking only of those who make no claims to faith in Christ at all, yet the reality is that many who profess the name of Jesus as Savior of their lives live more like this than they do like the humble and contrite who live in respectful reverence of God's word. Your Own People Hear the word of the Lord, you who tremble at his word: "Your own people who hate you, and exclude you because of my name, have said, 'Let the Lord be glorified, that we may see your joy!' Yet they will be put to shame. Jesus Christ said that his followers would be hated as he was hated. Even his own people hated and rejected him. He told his brothers that the world hated him because he told them that what they did was evil. Yet, his own brothers rejected him and mocked him. His own family members thought he was crazy and they wanted to remove him from his work, probably because he was an embarrassment to them. The religious leaders of his day were jealous of him, hated him, rejected him, falsely accused him of being of Satan, and hounded him day after day, trying to discredit him. And, eventually they succeeded in falsely arresting and beating him, in giving him a mock trial, and then in hanging him on a cross to die, as though he was a common criminal, and although he had done no wrong. If we are truly following Jesus Christ with our lives, we have forsaken our lifestyles of living in sin and for self, we have chosen the way of holiness, and we are walking in Christ's righteousness and holiness, all in the power and working of His Spirit within us, we will be hated. And, it won't be just the people of "the world" who will hate us, either. In fact, they may be in the minority of those who hate and reject us. Remember with me, if you will, that Jesus' greatest opponents were from among his own family members, his own people from his own nation, and from among those who called themselves God's holy people. His strongest adversaries, though, were the religious leaders, who were threatened by his teaching and the fact that people were following him, as well as they were insulted and bothered by his honesty in how he so pointedly addressed their own sins of hypocrisy. So, don't be surprised if some of your greatest persecution arises from your own people, whether from those within your own nation, town, family or church community. The more closely you walk with the Lord, and the more you listen to his voice and you obey his word, and the more you separate yourselves from this sinful world and you are set apart to God and to his service, the more you will be hated, rejected and treated with disdain, because you stand out, and you are different from (unlike) the world. Since the institutional church of today, at least here in America, for the most part, has adopted the ways of the world in order to reach the world, if you do not join in with them, you will most likely be hated and rejected by them, and either made to feel as though you are not wanted, or you may actually be asked to leave because you don't "fit" their mold, or because they were warned against people like you who have "strong convictions," or because they were trained to "filter out" those who are not a "good fit" for what they are doing. Judgment and Hope Hear that uproar from the city, hear that noise from the temple! It is the sound of the Lord repaying his enemies all they deserve… "Rejoice with Jerusalem and be glad for her, all you who love her; rejoice greatly with her, all you who mourn over her… "I will extend peace to her like a river, and the wealth of nations like a flooding stream; … and you will be comforted over Jerusalem." When you see this, your heart will rejoice and you will flourish like grass; the hand of the Lord will be made known to his servants, but his fury will be shown to his foes… This last chapter of Isaiah pretty much says what is said throughout the book. The people of God have been warned against their idolatrous and adulterous ways. Judgment has been pronounced. Calls for repentance and obedience to God have been proclaimed. Yet, the people did not listen when God called and they did not answer. They ignored the warnings and the calls to repentance, and they continued in their evil and wicked ways. So, God must send judgment as his mercy in order to bring his wayward people back to him. Yet, there is good news! The church will be revived and she will return to her Lord. So, those of us who have mourned and wept over the adulterous church of today can be comforted and we can rejoice in knowing that God will revive his church forlorn. In judgment, the people of God will be scattered, and yet some of them who survive the judgment will be dispersed among the nations so that they may proclaim the glory of God and the gospel of salvation wherever they go (are sent). And, many people will come to faith in Jesus Christ. Amen! Jesus will return for his bride, and we will forever be with our Lord. Then there will be a new heaven and a new earth. All sin, sadness, sickness, pain, heartache, and rejection will be gone! God will wipe away every tear from our eyes. This song (below), based off Isaiah 60, is an encouragement to our hearts, that even though we may see the church in great need of revival, and we may be heartsick over seeing so many who profess the name of Jesus still walking in the ways of this world, revival will come. It will come through judgment, but still it will come. Many who now hate and reject us, and who truly reject Jesus Christ by how they live their lives each day, will turn their hearts and lives over to Jesus Christ, and they will follow Him in his ways. Amen! So, we are to be encouraged, and we are to let our lights shine before humankind. And, we are to show those who still walk in wickedness the way to life in Jesus Christ. Amen! Arise and Shine / An Original Work March 6, 2014 / Based off Isaiah 60 Arise and shine; your Lord has come. Allow His light to flow through you, For many walk in wickedness. Show them the way to life anew. Arise and shine. Your Lord loves you. Lift up your eyes, and look about. Some do believe, while others doubt. Believe in all God's promises. The many will, In Christ, find rest. Lift up your eyes, and you'll be blessed. Arise and shine; salvation comes To all who trust in Christ, God's Son. Forgiven of their sins, they'll be, When they repent on bended knee. Arise and shine, so all will see. Lift up your eyes, and see your Lord. He will revive his church, forlorn. Though humans have forsaken you, They will find Christ, and walk in truth. Lift up your eyes; God honors you. http://originalworks.info/arise-and-shine/

London - She was supposed to be the gentler face of a would-be reformist regime. Now Asma Assad has become a hate figure for many.
Syria's London-born first lady, once breathlessly described as a "rose in the desert", is ensconced at the heart of the shadowy inner circle of President Bashar Assad.
As Syria slides towards civil war and foreign powers watch for cracks within the ruling clan, understanding Asma could prove vital to understanding the Assads and the future of the Syrian crisis.
A British-educated former investment banker, Asma cultivated the image of a glamorous yet serious-minded woman with strong Western-inspired values who was meant to humanise the increasingly secretive and isolated Assad family.
That image crumbled when her husband responded to an anti-government rebellion with extreme violence a year ago. Asma had clearly decided to stand by her man despite international revulsion at his actions. Assad himself says he is fighting an insurrection, involving foreign-backed "terrorists".
Asma's ancestral home is the city of Homs, now a symbol of the revolt which has been subjected to particularly fierce attack by her husband's tanks to become ground zero in the year-long conflict.
With her penchant for crystal-encrusted Christian Louboutin shoes and Chanel dresses, Asma is a puzzle for many. The opposition roundly rejects suggestions that she is effectively a prisoner of conscience in the presidential palace.
"She was very much, as we would say, left wing. She [created] a very, very good impression. She seemed to be very bright, very respectful of others," said Gaia Servadio, a writer and historian who has worked with Asma on several art projects.
"It's a very nasty regime... Thousands of people have been killed. So it's very difficult to say: poor woman. She certainly should have found a way to talk."
Very sharp
The world was smitten by her immaculate façade. In the Western media, Asma, a 36-year-old mother of three, was described as sophisticated, elegant, confident, with a "killer IQ" and an interest in opening up Syria though art and charity.
For those who pinned their hopes on Assad as a potential reformer, his photogenic wife bolstered that image, lending a touch of glamour to his awkward public appearances.
A glowing article in Vogue magazine described her as "a rose in the desert" and her household as "wildly democratic". A French newspaper said she was an "element of light in a country full of shadow zones".
People were charmed by her classy demeanour, liberal views and British accent. She received the Gold Medal of the Presidency of The Italian Republic for humanitarian work in 2008 and won an honorary archaeology doctorate from La Sapienza university in Rome.
Yet e-mails published by Britain's Guardian newspaper this month from accounts believed to belong to the family offer a different portrait, showing her as a capricious dictator's wife spending tens of thousands of pounds on jewels, fancy furniture, and a Venetian glass vase from Harrods.
"I am the real dictator, he has no choice," she apparently said in one of the e-mails in a comment about her husband.
Her London contact, a Syrian businessman, appears to send e-mails to her using an address he has nicknamed "Party party".
The story of how the London-born daughter of a Sunni Muslim Syrian doctor married into Assad's family, members of the powerful minority Alawite sect, reads like a cautionary tale.
She was born in the west London suburbs, whose sleepy streets are lined with neat houses, just like her family's. Twelve years after she married Assad, the family home appears almost abandoned, its curtains drawn. Neighbours said her father still lives there with his wife, a former diplomat.
Make a stand
"We know they are there but we don't see them," said one neighbour, a veiled Arab woman who asked not to be named. No one answered the door bell when Reuters called at the weekend.
A Syrian dissident from Aleppo, who lives nearby and asked to be identified only by his nickname, Zayed, said most Syrians in Britain despised Asma now.
Zayed, angrily comparing Asma to Marie Antoinette or the wife of Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceausescu, called on the Syrian leader's wife to "make a stand for your own sake, for your own people... She never did."
A senior member of the British Syrian Society, set up with Assad's help to promote business ties, said he has met the first couple in London and used warm words to describe them.
"They were quite impressive to talk to. He came across as someone who wanted to listen, get ideas, get advice, open to everybody, he made it plain that he wanted Syrians abroad to help building the country again. He was welcoming and warm."
Speaking on condition of anonymity in a gentlemen's club in a smart London neighbourhood, he added: "We all felt there was an opportunity that he, the president, representing the younger generation, could lead Syria to a new age of change.
"Perhaps he feels betrayed. Why are they [the West] ganging up on him? Now some people say, he is in full control, others say that he is not. Maybe he is shocked by the fact that ... in the end they all turned against them."
Asma's father, Fawaz Akhras, a cardiologist and founder of the British Syrian Society, has not responded to a Reuters request for a meeting, made through an intermediary.
Assads dislike Asma
Known as Emma to her British friends, Asma spent the first 25 years of her life in North Acton, went to a smart London girls school, Queen's College, and read computer science at King's College London.
She was a rising star at JP Morgan when she met Bashar, who had studied ophthalmology in London but was sent home to be groomed for the presidency after his elder brother, Basil, died in a car crash in 1994.
"I was always very serious at work, and suddenly I started to take weekends [off], or disappear, and people just couldn't figure it out," she told Vogue. "What do you say - 'I am dating the son of a president?'"
They married in 2000. What followed was a life full of glamour. They once dined with Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt in Syria. Bashar joked, according to Vogue: "Brad Pitt wanted to send his security guards here to come and get some training!"
One photograph from happier days depicts them playing with their children, toys scattered around on the carpet.
The Assad side of the clan, however, didn't like Asma, not least because of her Sunni Muslim origins.
"Certainly the Assad family doesn't like her, to put it mildly... She was constantly under watch, her telephone, she was very careful," Servadio, who spent time with the family in Syria before the uprising, told Reuters in London.
"She was shouted at. How odd, frankly, [that] somebody who is meant to be the wife of the president who is an autocrat, can be shouted at in this way." She added: "It was like a mediaeval power, warlords, one against the other."
Chilling glimpse
Asma's husband was elected president with 97% of the vote in 2000 after the death of his father, Hafez al-Assad, who had ruled Syria with an iron fist for decades.
Before the start of the 2011 uprising, there was hope Syria could change. Syrians saw his choice of wife as proof that things were about to change.
"When he came to power, people said, 'Okay... let's give him a chance and see what he's going to do,'" said Ghassan Ibrahim, Global Arab Network's London-based editor.
"What happened is that he made corruption even more organised, Mafia appeared, poverty grew sharply ... [But] she is standing by the criminal and she supports him."
E-mails leaked by Syria's opposition offer a chilling glimpse into the lavish lifestyle the couple enjoyed even as Assad's troops shelled opposition strongholds.
Have you ever met someone who is extremely beautiful physically yet when you get to know them, you see another quality--an internal ugliness to them?
meet Asma Assad, wife of the butcher of Damascus.
@Jaba - so you have met her then? Somehow this article doesn't read true -
we don't know what the story is until we hear from her - I hate it when there is all conjecture and almost no facts in an article.
That's sooo true, maybe she is just a sweet little thing,
La belle dame sans merci!
Unfortunately her life is going to end prematurely. How tragic. Unless she becomes the liberator.
Its hard to pull the \lavish lifestyle\ card. Look how Obama lives while he drops bombs overseas. Look at the Lavish lifestyles dictators in Yemen, Soudi Arabia Qatar etc etc. While they quell rebellions. I'm not justifying it, just pointing it out as a product of society we live in, todays leaders are only interested in their own power and greed.
I'm saying look around you, its the norm. Provide a source for that interesting fact.
Anthony I guess "bitch" is a word that rolls easily from your mouth as you are obviously a misogynist. This pathetic article is just a stupid bit of skinner and gives no verifiable information about the real state of mind of this woman. Only an idiot would rush to judgement based on this nonsense.
Concerning the emails, the really stupid thing is that despite there being no smoking gun among them, there was a real opportunity to continue to monitor them in case of obtaining some worthwhile intelligence. But the disjointed resistance could not hold back from the propaganda opportunity.
Poor strategy once again Anthony and Fred . Damn when will you guys get it?
I am flattered that you think, that I can influence the happenings in Syria.
The truth is that I can't do so by even one iota.
i am not, like some on this site, bloated with self importance.
i just want to share my believes and thoughts about certain subjects,
That's all !!!!
Coming back to Asma, it is obvious that this bitch is influentual, and through this ,carries part of the blame of 9000 opposition members being murdered, besides being corrupt!!!
9000 people have died, not all opposition members this includes civilians and security forces. It is hard to argue with someone who lies so blatantly, so regularly. it seems, you start believing your own lies the more you repeat them.
Pretty, beautiful , rose ..... she will be dragged down the damascus streets and butchered like the rest should she not heed the demands of Syrians . The Ivory tower is crumbling and the child like empress cannot see the blood stained walls .

"My Pseudo Lover" by Esmond Ng 30/08/12 © Copyright
We met, the unlikeliest of places in,
Over periwinkles and happily ever-afters.
You laughed initially, at the girl of dreams my,
But soon you saw, what really meant I.
We coupled, our fixations shared,
Remote and absurd but our inhibitions bared.
You suggested we chat and did we,
A bee to flower it soon daily be.
We dreamt of each other funny,
For never met had we.
And we heard each other's soul acutely,
Though our voices, too had not we.
I became your morning addiction,
And you, I didn't make known, became mine.
I wrote you poems and messages sweet,
Some that made you tingled, multiply.
We made Love, cuddled and caressed,
Through our thoughts and words unclad.
We made Love on our minds' ends,
The longings we couldn't repress.
I had thought we should have next stepped,
I had thought we both were ready.
But guesses me over Sunday no not maybe,
That sure, my Pseudo Lover isn't yet she.
Now she distanced seems,
My fault, I keep blaming me.
Why the haste so,
Why stupidly did I do, what did me.
She dilemmas over us,
And rightly so should she.
As in her mind reruns our memories,
So I too, her pinky promises to me.
Rereading our writings umpteenly,
Unknowingly attached have become me.
And all this while I tried to steal pieces of your heart,
You had already taken mine completely.

CES did great job of laying out specific "Tech Zone" sectors for all the companies innovating with technology in emerging areas of consumer lifestyle to be grouped together so one could visit and see many products and products all together. This helped me with discovery of many types of eye-opening tech, but also showed how crowded some product categories were as well as helping to find gaps in what is available, or that the pieces are in place but for example, the ecosystem or end user value propositions are not.
So everyone reported on Wearables as the feature of CES 2014, but I just couldn't believe how little variety there was in the functionality and also noted how ugly they all were! this picture is of the showcase of an Asian manufacturer who manufactures a large number of the step counters and Smart Watches for brands that I saw and tried on their booths too. How many companies can survive, all marketing a single sensor device? Especially since Fitbit and Nike seem to have captured 2/3 of the sales so far. i was personally wearing four different step countersa CES and all of them were telling me that the eight miles a day I was averaging cruising the exhibition halls was making me healthy. Not taking into account other factors like what my body was actually telling me, not to mention what I was eating and drinking. The user experience, ease of use, and interpretation of what it all means is still lacking for the average consumer to get interested IMHO. So I am not going to list and review a lot of wearable devices. But a few did stand out as being innovative and better equipped to serve mankind…
As I said lots of devices - over a hundred that can be considered to be called products and almost all are step counters of some description (accelerometers). The focus on lifestyle, fitness and medical is important to note as these are the areas which have potential to have real value to consumers.
Well what about watches?I didn't have time to see all the watches! They are all trying to jam too much Tech into a package that looks ugly and is too big. Not to mention the problem of battery life. it took 15 years to see enough utility in the mobile phone to learn that it should be religiously charged every night. Watch batteries last four or five years. How can people get their hands around charging a watch every three to six days. when I see so much technology and features jam packed into something called a watch, it gives me nightmares of the past working with tech companies just putting in everything because they could. And they didn't exactly know what people would find useful, so didn't want to take chances! Seeing big companies like Qualcomm in the game though, and producing software platforms rather than science projects tells me that this is going to start coming good this year. I have been wearing a Pebble watch for about three months and found it large, difficult to keep charged and buggy (e.g. Notifications seem to go in and out of operation). But lately now that there are third party…
There was a well produced and very entertaining fashion show at CES this year focused on wearable technology. Many things caught my eye, but the emphasis was much more on fashion than than utility and consumer technology for my liking. Of course all the clothing that sparkled and garments with screens built in so that they could be whatever they wanted to be fit the occasion very well and was entertaining. Next year I would like to see business and lifestyle enhancing technology blending in or invisibly being worn on the catwalk with descriptions of super powers and augmentations that happen without it being glaringly obvious. And where were all the Smart Glasses? Well, I just don't think Smart Glasses are ready for the catwalk yet. Maybe next year? This is the year of industrial and professional applications for these. Small enough to wear, but still a bit too big to wear out.

Originally released under the moniker Round the Bend, this was a tie-in with the children's television series of the same name. Quite why Zeppelin have decided to change the name is beyond me. The only reason I can think of is that it sounds more trendy, but then again the word outrageous isn't really that amazing. Maybe it's not on telly anymore. (That's it! Jon)
Doc Croc is the editor of a comic and his video printing press has blown up, scattering the pieces and the pages of the comic all around the sewer. Oh yes, all this takes place in the sewers. Lou Brush sets off to look for the pieces of machinery whilst Doc Croc, Jemima Wellington-Green and Vaudeville Vince Vermin (ahem!) search out their pages and punchlines. The idea is to get each character to collect his or her own pages, enter them, find the punchline and return them to the office. All this has to be done within a certain time limit so, with four characters to control, there's no time to lose. In practice, this is all a lot more difficult than it sounds. All the characters and tunnels make it very confusing, but the main flaw of the game is that it doesn't really pull you in at all. You make a character tumble into the sewer, shrug your shoulders and go and see about another character.
This isn't right! When you lose your croc you should despair and wring your hands. But in Doc Croc's Outrageous Adventure, you simply don't care. It's not a bad game at all, it just doesn't have that something that really draws you into a game. The graphics are clear enough and the gameplay's pretty standard jump-onto-the platforms-and-avoid-the-nasties stuff but quite enjoyable. It's not that there's anything really wrong with the game, Doc Croc's Outrageous Adventures is just, like, okay.

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 149815
squid doesn't start when spool is in a non selinux supported partition
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:11:00 EST
/mnt/cache1 is reiserfs partition. squid.conf:
cache_dir ufs /mnt/cache1 4000 16 256
# ls -Zd /mnt/cache1
drwxr-xr-x squid squid system_u:object_r:squid_cache_t /mnt/cache1
# ls -Zd /mnt/cache1/00
drwxr-xr-x squid squid /mnt/cache1/00
Squid cannot start. /var/log/squid/cache.log:

exe=/usr/sbin/squid path=/mnt/cache1 dev=hda6 ino=2
scontext=user_u:system_r:squid_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:nfs_t tclass=dir
Where is nfs_t coming from? Could it be that all files in /mnt/cache1 get it by
System is fully updated as of today.
Not sure, but I know that reiserfs is not supported with SELinux at the current
time. There are many bugs in its handling of Extended Attributes.
You probably misunderstood. Yes, I know that reiserfs is not supported with
SELinux. But I showed that reiserfs partition doesn't have EAs at all:
# ls -Zd /mnt/cache1/00
drwxr-xr-x squid squid /mnt/cache1/00
Directory 00 in reiserfs partition does not have any SELinux attributes. And I
showed that I changed type to squid_cache_t for /mnt/cache1, i.e. a mountpoint.
So the question is - why squid doesn't work on a filesystem, which does not have
ANY SELinux attributes?
Do you have nfs running on this machine? Or is the kernel/reiserfs getting
James do you have any ideas?
No nfs running.
Which tells me the kernel/reiser is very confused. So this is not a policy
(In reply to comment #3)
> James do you have any ideas?
Does the policy contain a line like this:
genfscon reiserfs / system_u:object_r:nfs_t
Excellent catch. Yes that is whats causing the nfs. Sorry I missed it but if
he is mounting with a context why is nfs_t still showing up?
(In reply to comment #7)
> Excellent catch. Yes that is whats causing the nfs. Sorry I missed it but if
> he is mounting with a context why is nfs_t still showing up?
I don't think it's a context mount, it was just the first idea thing I came up
with to check.
Could you try to mount the /mnt/cache1 directory with
mount -t reiserfs -o fscontext=system_u:object_r:squid_cache_t /dev/ABC /mnt/cache1
I don't mount with a context, I just changed SELinux attribute for a mount point
(as otherwise squid was not able to access /mnt/cache1; btw, I had to change
type to squid_cache_t for /mnt also). /etc/fstab:
/dev/hda6 /mnt/cache1 reiserfs defaults 0 0
Any ideas how to use reiserfs for squid cache? Changing nfs_t to squid_cache_t in
genfscon reiserfs / system_u:object_r:nfs_t
should help?
/dev/hda6 on /mnt/cache1 type reiserfs
Still no go:
kernel: audit(1109609802.473:0): avc: denied { associate } for pid=4340
exe=/usr/sbin/squid name=00 scontext=root:object_r:squid_cache_t
tcontext=system_u:object_r:squid_cache_t tclass=filesystem
squid: Failed to make swap directory /mnt/cache1/00: (13) Permission denied
BTW, I even cannot create file as root:
# touch /mnt/cache1/aa
touch: cannot touch `/mnt/cache1/aa': Permission denied
kernel: audit(1109610143.996:0): avc: denied { associate } for pid=4436
exe=/bin/touch name=aa scontext=root:object_r:squid_cache_t
tcontext=system_u:object_r:squid_cache_t tclass=filesystem
Ok you are going to need a rule
allow squid_cache_t self:filesystem associate;
I added to domains/misc/local.te
allow squid_cache_t self:filesystem { associate };
and ran make reload. Squid starts, but I see in cache.log:
Rebuilding storage in /mnt/cache1 (DIRTY)
/mnt/cache1: (13) Permission denied
Done scanning /mnt/cache1 swaplog (0 entries)
kernel: audit(1109611258.279:0): avc: denied { getattr } for pid=4871

You should use context= instead of fscontext=

CNS Men's Shelter Dinner Report
The Men's Shelter Dinner Report
Men's Shelter Dinner, Sunday, January 1, 2017
When the deep purple falls over sleepy garden walls
And the stars begin to twinkle in the sky.....
It must have been about 5:30 PM. We'd been working in the kitchen of the Berkeley Veterans' Memorial Building on Center Street since about 4:30. I grabbed the full compost container and took it outside to the west parking lot in order to empty it into the large green bin. Luckily I looked up. The clear sky was in that liminal space between twilight and night: deep purple, three-day old crescent moon, and the evening star shining so brightly it brought tears to my eyes. I urged the other volunteers to drop everything, come outside and look up! Josh and a few others came out. Helen called out that she saw the same view from her apartment window every night so she was just going to keep on chopping. Everybody simmered down. Back to work.
Because it was New Year's Day, we had planned to make a festive space in the dining room for the men who were residents. Rabbi Dorothy Richman, Michael Steinman, Shai, Levi and Yael set about transforming the day room. They put brightly colored round tablecloths on each of the tables at which the men would sit, wrapped eating utensils into holiday napkins and tied them with brightly colored ribbon. The men noticed it right away and several made of point of thanking us for making a special effort.
Weeks prior, Dani had suggested making turkey sliders for the dinner. It sounded like a lot of work: 45 men, 3 sliders per man: 135 sliders. I set about locating and pricing the ingredients. We lucked into a sale of ground turkey that really "saved our bacon". Dani knew that Trader Joe's sold slider buns with sesame seeds. They were quite inexpensive and TJ's told me I could return any of the unopened packages for a refund if we over-bought (we did and they did). The sliders were a combination of turkey meat, pinto beans, brown rice (successfully pre-cooked in the oven a la Vicky Kelman), and spices. Served alongside the sliders was roasted broccoli, roasted potatoes with garlic and rosemary, green salad, iced tea. This was all put together expeditiously and with good cheer by Dani Levy-Wolins, Yonit Levy, CJ Kingsley, President Josh Gressel, Helen Schneider, and Joan Alexander.
Ruth Konoff prepared the dessert in her home and brought it to the Shelter. There was an audible gasp (!) when the boxes of dessert were opened. Ruth made Cranberry-Citrus Cream Trifle placed in individual compostable cups. The layers were lemon pound cake, sweetened whipped cream, cranberry/orange syrup, lemon curd spread, blueberries and raspberries arranged on top. Ruth prepared enough for every resident, the resident manager, and our volunteers, too. Some of us marked the start of 2017 with tell-tale marks of whipped cream and lemon curd on our lips.
Dani has already begun to think about the menu for the next Shelter Dinner on
Sunday, February 5.
The electronic sign-up can be found at
...And as long as my heart will beat,
lover, we'll always meet
here in my deep purple dreams.

- Thanks John.Carmelo----- Original Message -----From: Dunning, JohnSent: Friday, February 01, 2002 3:11 PMSubject: RE: [XSL-FO] Keep with next and previousHere are a couple of real-life examples that I'm familiar with (mostly supported by XEP, not so much by FOP):keep-together.within-page="always" : I use this to force tables to not break pages. We create output that uses tables for individuals name, address, contact info, etc., and each individual's information is in a separate table (there can be many). The format that our customers have been using for years (RTF) was formatted as such, and our customers fees were determined by the number of printed pages, so it is imperitive that the presentation not change (if tables spanned pages, we could be short-changing ourselves).keep-with-next="always": kind of the same. Attempted use as a work-around in table-rows for FOP because of the above limitation. Also used in sections of the document where there is one header-type element followed by one paragraph-type element.HTH,John-----Original Message-----

Newbie trying to write a simple backup script to backup a single folder Nd for school
I am trying to create a backup script that will back up a single folder for a class i am in. I was wandering if I could get some help. If possible I would also like to know how to write a script that can encrypt that same file . I will be putting the back up in my /home/usr/Backup directory. I am not trying to back up my whole system just a single folder. I am using Fedora 11
Thanks alot I am new to linux and am running fedora 11.
$ tar -cjf backup.tar.bz2 /folder/path
This command encrypts an existing file:
$ openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -e -in /file/to/encrypt -out /file/to/save
I will leave to you the task of combining these into a useful script.

Central Banks, Fiat Money, and Barter
by Paul-Martin Foss •
There have been many monetary cranks over the course of the centuries who have thought that creating more money would benefit society, and have sought to do so by creating money backed by assets. John Law's Mississippi Bubble and its creation of money backed by land is one prominent example, and despite his failures such movements towards asset-backed money backed by real estate, copyrights, and other tangible or intangible assets still exist today. While the faults with such schemes are readily apparent to Austrians, they stem from a well-meaning desire that money should be backed by something of value.
Gold and silver coins used to be used as the currency of everyday transactions but they were replaced by banknotes, those being easier to handle and exchange. Banknotes were promised to be exchangeable for gold and silver, but banks and later central banks started to create more notes than they had gold or silver backing. Eventually the promise of exchange for gold and silver went by the boards and we were left with what we have today, a system of unbacked paper fiat money that can be printed ad infinitum. The only reason this fiat paper money has any value is because enough people trust that the government will not erode its value too much and because they believe that enough other people will accept it in exchange for goods that they will be able to use it to make purchases with it. If that trust ever erodes, however, all bets are off.
Patrick Byrne and the Blockchain
by Paul-Martin Foss •
The Cato Institute yesterday held a cryptocurrency conference whose keynote speaker was Patrick Byrne, the CEO of Overstock.com. His speech came in the wake of his announcement that he is stepping down as CEO for an indefinite leave of absence due to health reasons. Byrne looked a little disheveled, had a noticeable cough at times, and mentioned that this speech marked the end of his professional career. It would be a shame, because his talk focused on settlement systems, an important aspect of any sort of trading. It isn't the sexiest topic, but it has relevance to money and banking.
Sound Money and Fiscal Policy
by Paul-Martin Foss •
The week before last marked my first time attending the Austrian Economics Research Conference, an annual meeting of economists of the Austrian School hosted by the Ludwig von Mises Institute in Auburn, AL. While many of the presentations were interesting, one that I found particularly helpful was that by Patrick Barron of the University of Iowa. What was especially useful was how he tied together monetary and fiscal policy. The connection between the two might seem self-evident to many Austrians, but it wouldn't seem self-evident to the man on the street. Yet by tying the two together it should be possible to bring more people to support sound money.
India's Gold Monetization Scheme Continues to Falter
by Paul-Martin Foss •
It all comes down to whether or not the temples trust the government to do what it claims it will do. It would be hard to trust a government that views private gold holdings as a barrier to its monetary policy operations to return deposited gold. Once that gold is out of private hands and in government coffers, there is no way to get it back if the government reneges on its promise. Only three tonnes of gold have been turned over to the government so far, so it is hard to see how this latest change to the scheme will result in any increase in trust or any huge boost in gold deposits. It is probably time for the Indian government to scrap this failed scheme, stop trying to set monetary policy, and allow the Indian people to decide for themselves what they use as money.
Today in History: April 5, 1933
by Paul-Martin Foss •
On April 5, 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued Executive Order 6102, requiring all gold coin, gold bullion, and gold certificates to be surrendered to the Federal Reserve Banks or to banks that were members of the Federal Reserve System. With very limited exceptions, it was now illegal for Americans to own gold. This state of affairs lasted until 1975. It was the movement to legalize gold ownership in the United States that influenced a young doctor in Texas to make his first forays into politics. That young doctor is known and beloved by millions today: Dr. Ron Paul. Even out of something as evil as outright gold confiscation, something good came about.
Full text of the Executive Order is below.
German Response to Negative Interest Rates: Safe Deposit Boxes
by Paul-Martin Foss •
The European Central Bank Has Gone Full Retard
by Paul-Martin Foss •
Just when you thought central banks couldn't get any nuttier, the European Central Bank (ECB) has gone and done it. One of the ECB's new programs may actually pay banks to borrow from it. Take away all the accounting sleights of hands and the net result would be an outright payment to those banks. It's a direct subsidy, so why all the subterfuge? Just set up a direct pay-for-loan system, the more the banks loan the more the ECB pays them. That's what most likely will happen eventually. It would be much simpler and much more honest, which is probably why they're not doing it right now.
A Brief Monetary History Of The United States: Part VIII
by Paul-Martin Foss •
Today we bring you Part VIII of "A Brief Monetary History of the United States" from the Ron Paul Monetary Policy Anthology. The full series can be found at the following links:
The 1980s to the Great Recession
Economic conditions became so bad by the late 1970s that calls to return to the gold standard increased. Congress established a Gold Commission in 1980 to examine the possibility of a return to gold. Although President Reagan was publicly sympathetic to the gold standard, he did not restrain the anti-gold members of his administration. As a result, the Gold Commission was packed with supporters of the existing unbacked fiat monetary system. Despite the Commission's ultimate endorsement of the fiat paper money system, the Commission's work did provide some impetus towards the eventual adoption of legislation to authorize the minting of Gold Eagle coins by the U.S. Mint—the first gold coins minted by the United States since 1933.
Quote of the Day: Ludwig von Mises
by Paul-Martin Foss •
The role played by ingots in the gold reserves of the banks is proof that the monetary standard consists in the precious metal, and not in the proclamation of the authorities.
-Ludwig von Mises, Theory of Money and Credit
This still holds true today, as governments, central banks, and the IMF continue to hold onto thousands of tons of gold. They know that once the experiment with irredeemable fiat money ends, it will end badly. And when that happens, they will still be sitting pretty with their vaults full of real money, loath as they are to admit it publicly.

On Death and Dying
Elisabeth Kübler-Ross
This book is the classic work dealing with the psychology of death. The five stages of grief were first outlined here, though they are focused more on those dying then the people grieving after they are gone. Kübler-Ross interviewed terminally ill patients as part of an interdisciplinary seminar on death, as a means of understanding what happens when people have a lot of time to face their own deaths.
It would have been good for me to have read this book in 2003 when my mother was very sick and spent eight months in a hospital before dying, but it was only recommended to me recently. It would have felt inappropriate to have read it then in many ways, which...more

City and Landscapes
Henri Cartier-Bresson
This book includes one of my favorite photographs ever:
The Complete Untitled Film Stills
Cindy Sherman
It's probably time that I returned these photo books I took out from the library months ago. (There were a few others, but I didn't spend too much time with them before I returned them.)
I've been admiring this full edition of the Cindy Sherman's Untitled Film Stills for a while. Even if you are familiar with her work, this book is worth a browsing for her essay "The Making of Untitled," which goes into the background of how she got into character building and her self-portrait techniques, as well as various anecdotes about the making of certain photos.
This collection of photos strikes me with...more
Bill Peet: an Autobiography
Bill Peet
One of my favorite books as a kid was Jennifer and Josephine, and though I never read any other of Peet's many children's books, I considered him a favorite writer. I spotted this book at the library — an illustrated autobiography! His insight into the early years of the Disney animated features and Walt Disney's personality are some of the best parts of the book. It is also inspiring how long he strived towards writing books for children until finally, slowly, figuring it out. He obviously was a pretty down-to-earth guy with an ironic sense of humor and sentimentality, so it's no wonder his books are still relevant today....more
The Mind's Eye: Writings on Photography and Photographers
Henri Cartier-Bresson
This compilation of writings by Cartier-Bresson is pretty random and obviously written over a long period of time. But its brevity makes up for the lack of flow. His opinions of photographic technique are interesting, sometimes useful and sometimes not. He was not a fan of color photography: As opposed to black, which has the most complex range, color, on the contrary, offers only a fragmentary range. Though that was largely because of the state of color film processing at the time of that writing, 1985. His philosophy of "The Camera as a Sketchbook" is certainly well received by the photobloggers of today, though who knows what he thought of digital photography. The writings on particular places his visited...more
In the Next Galaxy
Ruth Stone

The same fat man with the fluorescent vest

The Stones of Summer
Dow Mossman
I'm giving up on this book. I've been reading it since I finished A Wild Sheep Chase and going on a month, only halfway through—I just don't see the point of forcing myself through it any longer.
This coming-of-age epic inspired a documentary film by Mark Moskowitz, which I read about a few years ago. Since then I've been very intrigued, and when I first saw the republished version in a bookstore several months ago, I've been wanting to delve into it. I watched (most of) the documentary this fall and got the book from the library shortly thereafter.
The novel is divided in three sections, representing distinct moments in Dawes Oldham Williams's life—a not so subtle representation of "Dow"—who...more
Hôtel Splendid
Marie Redonnet
The unnamed narrator is the youngest of three sisters. She has lived her entire life in the Hôtel Splendid . Her grandmother built it next to a swamp. Her sisters traveled the world with their mother. When the mother died, the sisters returned.
Groups of speculators, geographers, contractors, and eventually workers come through under a plan to build a railroad through the swamp. Up against the decaying hotel, the swamp that threatens to engulf it, and the sisters who don't give her any help, the youngest perseveres through the ups and downs. There's something enigmatic about her accounts though they are largely banal: the state of the plumbing and the health of her sisters are most common. Maybe it's the short,...more
Timoleon Vieta Come Home
Dan Rhodes
I was in the middle of the epic Stones of Summer when I went away last week — not about to bring a nearly 600 page hardcover tome with me, I instead started in on some of the books that have been calmly waiting for me to get through the Mossman book. I bought this one used several weeks ago because I liked the design (will try to get an image up later).
While looking for some information on Dan Rhodes, I found this long review, which is much more than I could write about this morning in my current jetlagged state. Also I can be lazy and refer to it, like saying that the parts I liked best were the Calvinoesque...more

Dear Colleague:
The National Science Board draft discussion paper, "The Scientific Allocation of Scientific Resources," is being released for comment. This paper was prepared for the National Science Board by its Committee on Strategic Science and Engineering Policy Issues. It contains the preliminary recommendations from the committee's study on how priorities might best be set across fields and disciplines in the Federal budget for research.
Our study has addressed priority setting practices for publicly funded research, both in the U.S. and in other countries. We have commissioned two literature reviews, one by the RAND Science and Technology Policy Institute on the Federal system for funding research, existing tools to support research budget allocation decisions, and current mechanisms for input on those decisions. The second study, by SRI International, examined the literature on international models of S&T budget coordination and priority setting, focusing on eight governments, with presentations by top-ranking science officials for each in a public Symposium in November 1999. We also heard presentations from experts on specific methodologies proposed or in use to assist priority setting in research budgets.
The committee has met with representatives of OSTP, OMB, the National Academies, Congressional staff, and Federal departments and agencies who expressed considerable interest in improving the process by which funding decisions are made for federally supported research. We have arrived at some preliminary conclusions from these sources. Our draft recommendations focus on several areas for improved data, evaluation, and expert advice to achieve more effective priority setting for Federal S&T investments, including:
We invite you as stakeholders in federally funded research to offer your comments on our preliminary findings and recommendations. You may submit your comments to the NSB Office by email to email@example.com, by mail to Jean Pomeroy, Room 1220, National Science Foundation, 4201 Wilson Blvd., Arlington, VA 22230; or by fax: 703-292-9008.

I had somehow missed your lovely advent post below, but have just read it. What lovely memories you have of advent growing up. Do you have no family nearby now? We are not in a high church, as we call them, so Mennonites have not celebrated advent. But we have been starting to in the last two years, and I am really enjoying it! It is a good way to remember that the season is not about shopping.

Beautiful Christmas decorations! I'm doing my deep cleaning this week in preparation for the holidays. Right now I'm waiting on the carpet to dry after steam cleaning it, then I'll have to mop after I put all the furniture back. And then, and then and then... Lots to be done yet but it'll feel good to have it done and then I can decorate!
