Metro Promised $670 Million from Feds for Regional Rail Connector
A rail project expected to link far-flung corners of Los Angeles County will get $670 million as part of a promise secured from the federal government, officials announced today.
Metro Board Chair Diane DuBois hailed the funding as a major "milestone' and a "giant step forward' that will allow the Los Angeles County regional transportation authority to begin major construction later this year on the $1.37 billion Regional Connector in downtown Los Angeles.
The 1.9-mile underground connection will give Metro riders the ability to take light-rail trips between Azusa and Long Beach, and from the San Gabriel Valley and East Los Angeles to Santa Monica, without transferring.
The $670 million is the result of a Full Funding Grant Agreement with the Federal Transit Administration, the first one to be secured for the Los Angeles area in nearly two decades, officials said.
The first $65 million of that amount has been earmarked as part of the federal spending bill approved last month, with subsequent chunks of the funding requiring approval from Congress. "On behalf of President Obama and U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx, we're proud to be contributing roughly half the cost to help build the Regional Connector,' FTA Administrator Therese McMillan said during a news conference and signing ceremony at Metro's Little Tokyo/Arts District station.
She was joined by Sen. Dianne Feinstein, Congressman Xavier Becerra, Congresswoman Lucille Roybal-Allard and Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, as well as by DuBois and other Metro officials.
"What begins here today in Little Tokyo will ripple far beyond,' to other parts of the region, including Long Beach, Azusa, East Los Angeles, the San Gabriel Valley and Santa Monica, McMillan said. The Regional Connector, slated to be completed by 2020, will link the Gold, Blue and Expo lines.
The route will traverse downtown Los Angeles along Second and Flower streets, joining the Little Tokyo/Arts District station with the 7th Street/Metro Center station.
The Regional Connector will make Metro trips "faster and more convenient,' McMillan said, saving time for "hard-working people' who "lose hours every week changing from one train to another just to keep moving in the same direction.'
Two-thirds of people in Los Angeles County do not have access to cars and 20 percent are "seniors who would like nothing more than to remain active parts of their communities,' McMillan said.
"For many, transit is that ladder of opportunity connecting them with jobs, education and the many advantages that a vibrant city like LA has to offer,' she said.
Garcetti said the project will streamline public transportation in a city "replete with half-finished transit,' including in downtown Los Angeles, "where we've had to get up from one train and get on another train in order to go east and west or north and south,'
Feinstein, who requested the initial $65 million in federal appropriations, said Los Angeles officials must "stay on the case' to continue receiving funding.
The full funding agreement "is the beginning, and generally outside of sequester, it would be a given, but because of sequester and because of some financial uncertainty — as the debt is reduced on the federal government -the money that goes to infrastructure across the country becomes more important than ever,' she said.
Feinstein also helped assisted Metro in securing a $160 million loan for the Regional Connector through the Transportation Infrastructure Finance and nnovation Act program.
In additional the the federal financial assistance, the Regional Connector will receive state and local funds, including proceeds from Measure R, a half-cent sales tax hike approved by Los Angeles County voters in 2008.
McMillan also indicated that a $1.25 billion full funding agreement for the Purple Line Westside Subway Extension -often referred to as the "Subway to the Sea' – will be finalized later this year.

Cambodian Actress Is Banned From Making New Movies Because She Is "Too Sexy"

Hey, it's the 21st century, so humanity is working on a lot of projects, including AI and how to improve the quality of life, while simultaniously fight racial and gender discrimination, and mitigate the consequence of pollution and stuff. But it is all about balance, so if you're having progress happening in one place, there will definitely be regress somewhere else.

Sunday on CBS's "Face the Nation," Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) defended the letter he wrote, which he and 46 of his Republican colleagues signed, to Iranian leaders to a "Face the Nation" host Bob Schieffer, who at one point asked, "Are you planning to contact any other of our adversaries? For example, do you plan to check with the North Koreans to make sure they know any deal has to be approved by the Congress?"
Cotton answered, "Bob, Right now I, and most every other senator, is focused on stopping Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. That's why it's so important that we communicated this message straight to Iran, because they're not hearing it from Geneva. And remember, this is not parliamentary democracy, the Islamic revolution of Iran has been killing Americans, hundreds of Americans, for 35 years in Iraq and Lebanon and Saudi Arabia. They also killed Jews around the world."
Cotton added, "The fact that President Obama doesn't see this letter as a way to get more leverage at the negotiating table just underscores that he is not negotiating for the hardest deal possible."

When Educational Life became a CIC we knew we would need to include some fund-raising and so when we found out about the great initiative being run by Bunnings who had replaced Homebase at Westwood Cross we felt it was a great way to get ourselves out into the community.
We took part in our first fundraiser at the newly opened Bunnings Warehouse store in Westwood and raised £203.00 thanks to your generosity and the support of the Bunnings team!
It was a fun day, we began at 09:00 and packed up at 18:00. John and Rebecca were there all day but you saw most of the team at one point or another as we all picked up the mantle and got involved. It was a real test of self-control as the smell of the sausages was amazing!
It was a terrific opportunity to get out into the community and explain what we do, hear your feedback, and find out how we can improve our service to you. There was a lot of interest and we are grateful for your time. We also got to talk to other groups and organisations and are looking forward to finding out more about them.
What is a sausage sizzle? It's an Australian sausage sandwich – barbequed sausage and onions in a folded slice of bread. Not a hot dog – a sizzle!
Bunnings Warehouse offers local community groups, clubs and teams the opportunity to run their fundraisers free of charge and out of the kindness of their hearts. They supply the training about health & safety, food hygiene and safe use of the cooking and cleaning equipment and the club provide the ingredients and volunteers to run the fundraiser.
Educational Life CIC will certainly be taking part again and would like to say a big thank you to the Bunnings Team for their encouragement, with special thanks to Stirling and Steve.
We'd also like to give a little shout out to Bunnings resident face painter – such beautiful decorative bits we saw on people and she was just lovely!
If you're at Bunnings and see a community group doing a Sausage Sizzle, please take a minute to find out what they do and why – you may be surprised!

and I did not, therefore, know till all was over that the approach it had guarded was left undefended.
The enemy, baffled on the left, now massed in and below the town. His batteries played vigorously, and his columns advanced below, toward Howison's. Our guns upon the heights now opened upon these with fine effect, and soon caused them to disperse and lie concealed. At the same time force seemed accumulating in the town, and batteries there poured a warm fire upon Marye's Hill. Regarding this as now the weak point most likely to be assailed in a short time, I dispatched an aide to General Hays, to inform him that if he could be spared from the left he had better direct a part, at least, of his force to Marye's Hill. That position the enemy soon attempted, as in the former battle, by direct march toward the stone wall. They were handsomely repulsed, with loss, by combined fire of infantry and artillery. Thus far, at all point they had been driven back, and about the same time the troops were all encouraged by messages sent by yourself of intelligence from General Lee of a glorious victory already won over Hooker, and hoped to be made complete that day. Had the guns sent to the rear been at hand and in position, the enemy would have probably been wholly repulsed on this line. We were, however, at the critical point too weak in guns as in infantry. Another combined attack was made by columns along the streets, and by a line of battle toward the stone fence, and also another toward Howison's house. The gun to play upon one of the streets had been removed, the remainder, supporting the small force of infantry, could not repel the attack at all points, and after a brief contest we had the mortification of seeing a sudden swarming of the enemy behind and around our guns on Marye's Hill. The guns on Lee's Hill I immediately caused to be directed on the enemy, then possessing Marye's, and, this done, proceeded to get my horse, hitherto tied in the ravine behind. I then approached the Telegraph road, and caused two guns of Patterson's battery, free to be thus used, to be hastened forward, also to open upon Marye's. Just at this moment Captain Richardson, of the Washington Artillery, sent up by you from your line, arrived and reported. I immediately directed his guns in like manner to form in battery on the brow near the Telegraph road, and open on Marye's Hill. This was done under Colonel Walton's supervision. Meanwhile the enemy advanced his batteries in the plain and poured upon our lines a sever fire. His infantry also came forward in large numbers, although fired upon with considerable vigor by Patterson's guns on Howison's Hill, and by Carlton's, farther to the right. Overpowered, our gallant little infantry force had to recede. On the left of the Telegraph road, near the batteries the firing, General Barksdale formed a regiment in line of battle, but, after the infantry in front of them had been driven back, the guns on Lee's Hill and on the right had no support.
Before long the guns on the Telegraph road had to retire, because the enemy, under cover of ravines on the right and left, approached so near as to render the position untenable. Captain Richardson here lost one gun from the shooting down of its horses. Captain Fraser subsequently brought off his guns from Lee's Hill, having fired canister till the enemy was almost upon him, and at last taking with him the body of the gallant Lieutenant Habersham, who fell just as the guns were being removed, and saving one gun, who limber was blown up, by substituting, at so critical a moment, the caisson limber. As these guns passed to the rear, I proceeded slowly also along the Telegraph road, having remained some time on the hill the signal station. About

Well, that was disappointing.
The Rays began as a franchise 20 years ago, making this their 21st season as a major league team. Originally, they were dubbed the "Devil Rays", their mascot a sort of large sting ray. In the last 2 decades, that has evolved into a sun ray, which looks more like a starburst or sparkle on the word "Rays", now the official name of the team.
Now, technically, there is no real thing as a "devil ray". There is a "devil fish", which is an endangered species of ray due to its low reproduction rate and sensitivity to environmental alterations (like pollution and overfishing) in its native Mediterranean. In other words, this creature the team decided to honor originally isn't part of the Florida ecosystem and is misnamed. So, transitioning to a nod to the "Sunshine State" makes a nice way to justify the name without terribly changing the name.
However, because of last season being its 20th anniversary season, the Rays rediscovered their own nostalgia for their original colors, theme, and name. So for this season, they announced that they would don a new/old "throwback" jersey and hat for 4 Saturday home games this year. Today was the third, and many Rays players are really getting into the theme by adding socks and other accessories (sweatbands, gloves, warm-ups, etc.) on those days.
It might be considered good luck as they've now won 2 of the 3 games they've played on these throwback days, the loss being a slim 1-run margin. Or maybe it's because they've been playing a weird game of relying strongly on their bullpen due to a lack of healthy starters.
Sonny Gray had a sort of mixed outing. When he was hot, he was really good and set the Rays down with relative ease. When he wasn't, they scored runs. He threw 101 pitches into the 7th inning, giving up 6 hits, a walk, and 4 runs and striking out 7 batters along the way.
In the 1st, a lead-off single scored on a 1-out double complicated by a throwing error. A lead-off double in the 2nd scored on a double. A bunt moved that runner to 3rd and a single scored him. After fending off the Rays for 15 consecutive batters, Gray gave up a 2-out solo home run just barely left of the right field foul pole.
It was time to shift to Chasen Shreve, who has been struggling lately and continued his struggles in the 7th inning. All he needed was 1 out to get out of the inning. Instead, he loaded up the bases with a walk, a single, and another walk before getting a beautiful strikeout to finally get out of the inning and his self-induced jam. Chad Green had his own issues in the 8th, giving up a couple of hits to put runners in scoring position before getting a great strikeout to end that threat.
Meanwhile, the Yankees bats were virtually silent against the Rays pitchers. Their starter threw into the 6th inning, only giving up 3 hits and a walk. Later in that inning, last night's starter (who only threw an inning) came in for 4 outs. They just kept shifting relievers to balance the rest of the game and keep the Yankees scoreless this afternoon.
Final score: 4-0 Rays
With today's loss, the Yankees are guaranteed a loss of this series. They haven't lost a series since the May 21-23 against the Rangers in Texas. They have split several series along the way, but mostly, they're riding high on generally winning most series this season so far.
Many of the talking heads are making the easy comparison to the 1998 championship team. And that makes sense to me too. At this point in the 1998 season (Game 74), the Yankees were 55-19. Currently, the 2018 Yankees are 50-24. Things evened out a bit for the 1998 Yankees after the All-Star Break, ending the season with 114 wins. If the 2018 Yankees stay on their path, they could potentially win 109 games this season. This would make them a shoo-in for the postseason, and this team deserves the same attention and chance.
But there is still so much of the season left. The season is so very long, and we're not even at the half-way point. Just shy of it, actually, at 46.25% of the season done. And really, with the combination of crazy weather this year, potential injuries, and just your run-of-the-mill bad luck and streaks, there is really nothing predictable about baseball. It's still anyone's game.
Except maybe the Orioles and Royals, who've only won 23 games this year. But never say never. Right, Cubs fans?

The Scandinavian duo of Suzann Pettersen and Maria Hjorth are among the leading contenders for spots in Team International for the Lexus Cup in December after recent tournament wins. The duo quickly erased their disappointment of playing in Europe's losing Solheim Cup team, each carding a brace of good performances in the Navistar LPGA Classic and the Longs Drugs Challenge.
Hjorth held off Stacy Prammanasudh to win the US$1.3 million Navistar LPGA Classic on the last day of September and followed up a week later with a tied-8th finish in the US$1.1 million Longs Drugs Challenge, the event which Pettersen won. Pettersen had finished tied-11th a week earlier in the Navistar and the pair could prove to be steady hands for Team International captain Annika Sorenstam.

Jamie Oliver tops UK Christmas book chart… again
Celebrity chef racks up his fourth festive number one in a decade
He may have had his Essex boy shtick stolen by the cast of TOWIE in recent years, but the punters still love Jamie Oliver's no-nonsense approach to cookery, so it seems. The TV personality formerly known as the naked chef has managed to outsell his rivals – culinary and otherwise – again this year and top the Christmas book charts for the fourth time in his career.
So, if you've ever mentioned to a loved one that you "quite like Jamie" or shown even the slightest interest in the kitchen, there's no prizes for guessing what that cookery book-shaped present is under the tree. Yep, it's Jamie's Great Britain, a book that has managed to sell 60,000 copies in the last seven days.
Jamie topped the festive bestseller list last year with Jamie's 30-Minute Meals (most take longer than that – believe me, I've tried), which spent a whopping 32 weeks in the number one slot in 2010. Other Christmas favourites from Chez Oliver over the years include Jamie's Italy and Happy Days with the Naked Chef, which both reached the pinnacle of festive bookselling in 2005 and 2001 respectively.
But the nation's literary love affair with celebrity chefs doesn't end with Mr Oliver. Both Lorraine Pascale's Home Cooking Made Easy and Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's River Cottage Veg Every Day made it into this year's Christmas bestsellers list, according to data from Nielsen BookScan.
Other titles to make it into the festive top ten include kooky ad spin-off Where's the Meerkat?, perennial family favourite The Guinness Book of Records, comedy offerings from James Corden, Lee Evans and Rob Brydon, and the biography of the Apple founder, the late Steve Jobs.

11th of May 2004 in our garden!
Note how the young owl tries to make itself bigger as David climbs the tree with his camera. Apparently, owls never take flight during day time. Maybe because they would be blinded by he
light and fly right into the next tree.
Picture of a fully grown specimen.
The Long-eared Owl
(Asio otus - Waldohreule in German) was first described in 1758 by Carolus Linnaeus (1707-1778). Other Names for Long-eared Owls are American Long-eared Owl, Brush Owl, Cat Owl, Pussy Owl, Lesser Horned Owl, Ceder Owl and Coulee Owl.
Long-eared Owls are medium-sized, nocturnal, woodland Owls, with a broad distribution across North America, Eurasia and northern Africa. They appear slim and slouch forward when perched. They have prominent ear tufts that appear to sit in the middle of the head and are usually held erect. Plumage is brown and buff, with heavy mottling and barring over most of the body. Male plumage tends to be lighter than females. The eyes are golden yellow, encircled by black feathers that are set in an orange-brown facial disk. The bill is black. The forehead and lores are mottled grey and white and there is a white chin patch. The legs and feet are heavily feathered.
Juveniles are similar to adults but less heavily marked. The head tufts are shorter and less defined and facial disk darker. Body feathers are tipped with greyish white.
Long-eared Owls are buoyant fliers, appearing to glide noiselessly even when their wings are flapping. They are very manoeuvrable and can fly through fairly dense brush. They fly moth-like, often
hovering and fluttering while looking for prey. When roosting, a Long-eared Owl will stretch its body to make itself appear like a tree branch.
Size: Female average Length: 37cm (14.6") Wingspan: 100cm (39") Weight: 282gMale average Length: 34cm (13.4") Wingspan: 96cm (38") Weight: 259g
The main advertisement call of the male is a low "hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, .....", repeated 10 to 200 times, with one note every 2 to 3 seconds. The female responds with a raspy buzz call, and often duets with the male. Calling occurs almost always during nocturnal hours. When alarmed, Long-eared Owls bark "whek-WHEK-whek" or shriek like a cat. Both males and females hiss during exchange of prey or when alarmed.
Hunting & Food:
Long-eared Owls hunt mainly by ranging over open rangeland, clearings, and fallow fields. They rarely hunt in woodlands where they roost and nest. They hunt mainly from late dusk to just before dawn, flying low to the ground, (1 to 2 meters (3 to 7 feet)), with the head canted to one side listening for prey. When prey is spotted, the Owl pounces immediately, pinning the prey to the ground with its powerful talons. Smaller prey is usually swallowed immediately, or carried away in the bill. Larger prey is carried in the talons.
Long-eared Owls feed primarily on mammals. Prey includes squirrels, bats, chipmunks, gophers, shrews, moles, and cottontail rabbits. Birds are also taken, occasionally on the wing. Most bird prey are smaller
species that occur on or near the ground. Bird prey includes meadowlarks, blackbirds, juncos, Horned Larks, doves, bluebirds, and thrashers. Larger birds such as grouse and screech-Owls are occasionally taken.
Long-eared Owls sometimes eat insects, frogs, and snakes.Pellets are fairly large, about 5.1 centimetres (2 inches) long and 1.9 centimetres (0.75 inches) thick. Pellets are oval or cylindrical, greyish, and
compact with many bones, skulls, and teeth. They are regurgitated 3 to 4 hours after eating.
Males occupy nesting territories first and may begin their territorial calling in winter. Nesting occurs mainly from mid March through May in North America. During courtship, males perform display flights around nests. Display flights involve erratic gliding and flapping through the trees with occasional single wing claps. Females respond by giving their nest call. The female selects a nest by hopping around it, while the male displays above. She then performs display flights as well, and flies repeatedly to the nest. Leading up to mating, the male approaches the female after calling and performing display flights, then waves his wings as he sidles up to her. Mutual preening and courtship feeding also occur. After pairing, adults roost close together, but the female tends to roost on the nest after it has been selected.
Long-eared Owls nest almost exclusively in old stick nests of crows, magpies, ravens, hawks, or herons. They nest rarely in rock crevices, tree cavities, or on open ground. Nests are almost always located in
wooded sites, often screened by shrubbery, vines, or branches and are commonly 5 to 10 meters (16 to 33 feet) above ground.Long-eared Owls have an impressive nest defence display
- the female spreads her wings out widely facing the intruder, flares her flight feathers, and lowers her head. This display makes her appear 2 to 3 times as large as she really is. They also perform a distraction display near nests, where the Owl pretends to capture prey, or feign injury, and flop away from the nest on the ground making various noises. They will
occasionally attack viciously, aiming the talons at the face and throat of the intruder.Old nests are lined with bark strips, feathers, leaves, and moss before eggs are laid. Clutch sizes range
from 3 to 8 eggs, with an average of 4 to 5 eggs. Clutch sizes tend to increase from south to north and from east to west. Eggs are laid irregularly every 1 to 5 days and incubation begins with the first egg laid,
so that a clutch of 6 eggs may hatch over a period of 10 to 12 days. The female performs the incubation which lasts 25 to 30 days. Nestlings begin to walk out of the nest onto nearby branches at about 3 weeks, but
are not capable of flight until about 5 weeks. Young become independent from parents at about 2 months. Nesting success is strongly linked to food availability and predation. Long-eared Owls are usually
single-brooded, however double-brooding has been observed [by me!]. If a clutch of eggs is lost, a replacement clutch may be laid about three weeks later.
Mortality: Captive Long-eared Owls have been known to live for over 10 years. Many are killed by shooting and collision with vehicles. Natural enemies of adult birds include Great Horned
and Barred Owls. Raccoons are major predators of eggs and nestlings.
Long-eared Owls inhabit open woodlands, forest edges, riparian strips along rivers, hedgerows, juniper thickets, woodlots, and wooded ravines and gullies. Breeding habitat must include thickly wooded areas for nesting and roosting with nearby open spaces for hunting. During winter, they need dense conifer groves or brushy thickets to roost in. Roosting sites are usually in the heaviest forest cover available. They will also roost in hedgerows, or in caves and cracks in rock canyons.
Unlike most other Owls, during winter they may roost communally (7 to 50 Owls) in dense thickets and range over very large undefended foraging areas. Communal roost sites are often used year after year, probably
by the same birds.

I have looked for an academic planner for teens for years. Now that my kids are in high school, I think I found one that will help them manage their own time and their schedule more efficiently. I am so relieved because I was sick of being their secretary and setting up appointments for them. They can manage their own themselves.
This post will show tips on how my teens used this academic planner.
Tip 1: Hand write the class schedule in the planner. This will help you memorize the order of your classes and where they are in the school.
If you want your class schedule to stand out a little, you can use one color for each class. Instead of writing A - F day, my daughter wrote ALL. She also put P.E and health on the same line.
Tip 2: Use a black sharpie marker to write the subjects, so it helps them stand out. He also included the room numbers to remind him what room he is going to.
My daughter is into fonts, so she wanted to write each class as a different font style to make it her own. Here is what she did.
Tip 3: If you have a year at a glance section in your academic planner, color on the off days and other important dates from the school's calendar for the entire year. They usually have it available on the website.
Tip 4: Don't forget to write in your after school activities. This will help you figure out when your free to study and do homework. Block out those areas and write what you are going to do in the blocks.
Tip 5: Always have a pencil with an eraser attached to the planner. This way, you can jot down notes quickly.
Tip 6: Have some sticky notes in your pencil-case or handy so you jot down homework information. Then, place them on the front cover if you don't have time to open your planner between classes. Then, when you have time, like at lunch, put the stick notes inside the planner on that day.
ADDITIONAL TIP: If your child likes to use their smartphone instead, set up the calendar on it. Every smartphone should have a timetable and a task tracking app. They can type in their assignments in their calendar or task app to help them keep track of homework and test information. Have them start using them before school starts, then they can get used to it, and if there are any issues, you can help revise their process.
I hope these tips help you or your kids keep your planner up-to-date and organized. Click on the image below to get your copy today!
Full disclosure: If you decide to purchase this academic planner, I will receive a small commission from your purchase.

I stream music for between 10 and 16 hours a day with absolutely happy ears - not only due to the inherent qualities of the beloved phone of mine, but also how the interplay of the 5.5 Sense integrates intself most harmoniously with the KitKat version.

So I don't see your problem. Having software nav also makes it possible to have the screen and nothing but the screen in between the stereo speakers. Besides space efficiency the costumisation possibilities with software nav are endless. You can put whatever the hell you wan in it. Heck, you can put the status bar in it if that grinds your gears or make it all pink for all I care. :) Anonymoushttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3561477567278903065.post-88394369004921059392014-01-12T20:06:59.861+01:002014-01-12T20:06:59.861+01:00But...... hopefully they will do something about i...But...... hopefully they will do something about it.

Do they even think of the future? How are they going to sustain such a naming system without confusing consumers. I for one was for a M series instead of a One from the start when it was rumored the M7, such as M1 and go on from there (M1+/M2.....). With a M series, the naming system would just be easier for both HTC and consumers. Plus, it would be easier when it comes to marketing. Short, simple and easier for consumers to remember, which converts to more interest and a larger brand image. I love my current One, best phone i have owned in years. I am looking forward to the M8 and hope HTC hits the competition with a hell of a phone. Show them what quality is all about. One thing i would love for them to do is decrease on the black bezel around the screen (Like the S3/S4). This would give us larger screen real estate without affecting the size of the phone.

When the FBI wanted to access the contents of the San Bernardino terrorist's iPhone Apple flatly refused. The company said it won't compromise on the invincibility of its own encryption system by helping the FBI hack into the iPhone of the San Bernardino terrorist. A bitter fight ensued between the FBI and Apple. The matter was scheduled for a hearing when the FBI said that it has figured out how to hack into the iPhone of the terrorist and there was no need to pursue the case further with Apple. But how did the FBI exactly hack into the iPhone of the San Bernardino terrorist? Even Apple would like to know.
Although it isn't yet clear whether the FBI is going to tell Apple how it hacked into the iPhone, what is being revealed gradually, according to this Fortune link, is that the FBI purchased a tool from a private source to get the job done. The link says that the information has come from a "private source" but here's the CNNMoney link that quotes the FBI Director James Comey as saying, "Litigation between the government and Apple over the San Bernardino phone has ended, because the government has purchased, from a private party, a way to get into that phone, 5C, running iOS 9."
"The people we bought this from, I know a fair amount about them, and I have a high degree of confidence that they are very good at protecting it, and their motivations align with ours," Comey added.
Is the FBI going to tell Apple exactly how they hacked into the iPhone of the San Bernardino terrorist? They may or they may not, said the director. The government is contemplating to tell the people at Apple how they pulled it off.
He said, "We tell Apple, then they are going to fix it, then we're back where we started from. We may end up there, we just haven't decided yet."
Is it necessary for Apple to know how the FBI hacked into the iPhone? It should work the both ways… Apple didn't want to help the FBI, then how come the FBI becomes liable? Eventually it depends on how such laws are defined in the US.

That's why media personality, Catherine McGrath tailored specialist workshops for women to build up their speaking confidence in professional forums. (Partner Content)
Catherine McGrath knows a thing or two about public speaking.
As a media professional with over 30 years experience in television and radio, she's learnt to push through confidence barriers, speak up in male dominated environments, and fight the scourge of imposter syndrome.
But during her career, she's also come to recognise how few women are afforded the opportunity to do the same. Becoming increasingly aware of the number of business conferences and events which routinely moved ahead with no female presenters left Catherine reeling and driven to shift the dial for female speaking talent.
"Women are not visible enough and their magnificent work isn't getting the attention it deserves," she tells me. "So some of these women don't get the promotions, opportunities and recognition they should be getting."
"Women are not visible enough and their magnificent work isn't getting the attention it deserves,"
Catherine believes such a critical disadvantage for female leaders is rupturing our chances of workplace gender equality.
"I think this is a key missing ingredient as we push for gender equity. We need to ensure that women have training opportunities so they can develop their presentation skills and confidence."
It was with this realisation that Catherine chose to start a unique training program, #WomenSpeaking designed to help professional women establish public speaking confidence.
"Women need the space to learn, train and practice. They need to be able to identify pathways towards further improvement. They need to understand what speaking success looks like," she tells me.
Since last year, #WomenSpeaking workshops have grown exponentially and now run in Canberra and Sydney with plans to branch to Melbourne later this year. I caught up with Catherine recently to hear about her plans for future growth and the importance of seeing more women speak up in professional forums.
Were you fearful or apprehensive to start your business and if so, how did you overcome this?
I wasn't apprehensive about starting #WomenSpeaking workshops because I could see there is a huge unmet need in this area. Women are looking for support but before #WomenSpeaking workshops started they had no solution that could address their skills gap.
Starting a business has meant that I have had to learn many new skills, but I have loved every minute of it. I am busier than I have ever been. I have a really strong belief that we need to empower women in the workplace and help them find their voice, so they can grow and develop the careers they need and deserve.
What do you think holds women back from speaking opportunities?
I think there are a number of inter-relating factors at play. Let's not forget that many business events, even these days, are heavily male dominated. The environment isn't always supportive for women who want to speak in these settings. Sometimes women feel judged by their audience or peers and so are reluctant to put themselves out there.
In my experience, when women fear speaking it is often because they lack the skills and training and don't know where to start in writing and developing a strong, strategic presentation for a specific audience. The other problem is that they have too few chances to practice and the more senior they become there can be fewer opportunities to speak in low stress environments, so the stakes are higher. Once avoidance becomes a pattern it can be hard to break.
There are structural barriers in the workplace for sure that have worked against women speaking at work for a very long time. While we address the structural barriers, it is also important to ensure women have a chance to develop the skills they need.
Do you believe women, more than men, suffer from confidence deficits?
I think a lot of professionals, both men and women can suffer from a lack of confidence. Not everyone is a natural speaker. However, I think women have a unique set of challenges to deal with that are a result of our gendered society and structures from yester-year.
Many women feel judged when they stand in front of an audience and they can lack confidence in their ability to pull it off. Strong successful confident women are often less likely to want to just 'wing it'. They want to have time to plan a presentation and often feel they want to be 110% ready before they step out there.
Professional women tend to hold themselves to very high standards and they kick themselves when they feel they are not up to scratch. Their inner critic can be their worst enemy. Many women are actually great speakers, they just don't know it yet. Men in general, are less likely to feel a crisis of confidence.
Why do you think it's important for more women to be involved in speaking opportunities?
Women need to be visible in the workplace. Speaking gives us that opportunity. It gives us a chance to promote our work, our businesses, our sector and our community involvement. It allows peers and supervisors to see the work we are doing, and it allows women to demonstrate they are ready to step up to leadership roles in their organisations and sectors.
It allows us to communicate our ideas and vision. Women are doing such great work, it is important that other people get to see that and realise what a great contribution many women are making. Publicising our professional successes doesn't always come naturally to us but in a workplace it is essential as it allows others to see and value what we are doing. It sends out the signal and demonstrates that you are a success.
What's the best advice you've ever been given?
My mother gave me the best advice ever when I returned to full time work after having my first child. It was in the 90s and I thought she may be concerned about me returning full time. She told me to 'go for it'. She said, 'if you are going to be working you may as well work at as high a level as you can.' It was the best advice ever.
What is your biggest source of inspiration?
The professional women I meet every day inspire me. They are so clever and successful. They really have the goods. I want to help them understand that they are ready to take to the stage. They are ready to share their ideas and successes. They have so much to offer and the world wants and needs to hear from them.
How do you stay motivated?
I still get excited each and every day and I absolutely love training women and seeing them grow. I get excited about the next workshop I have planned and I love hearing from women I have worked with when they tell me about their speaking and professional successes. When they get excited, I get excited! When they grow I grow too.
How would your friends and family describe you?
I think they would say I am energetic and visionary. I don't allow myself or my goals to be defined by others. There has been no specific, strategic, wholistic speaker training for professional women available in Australia and I see this as a real opportunity to develop a great business that can really support women in this key task.
What's the future for #WomenSpeaking?
I want to take #WomenSpeaking Australia wide and then into the Asia/Pacific region. I want to help women understand that have got this covered. They can do it. They do not need to hide their brilliance any more. They can shout it from the rooftops. I plan to do this by growing strategic partnerships with businesses and professional organisations.
Every client I have had has returned for repeat business and has referred me to others. I want to train up more people to help deliver this training and set up online learning support for participants as we go forward. My team and I plan to grow the entire #WomenSpeaking network so that it is a platform for professional support for women. We won't stop until we deliver a 50/50 balance in women/men speaking at conferences and events in all sectors. That would include keynote speaking as well as industry panels and business events.
What key attributes make a great leader?
I think the most important attributes for great leaders are creative vision, fresh ideas, emotional intelligence and speaking skills. A visionary leader with fresh ideas can see where change is needed and make that change happen. A leader has to be able to pick up on the emotions and goals of others.
We have to be able to see things from the perspective of others and keep ourselves focused on key goals. We have to listen then seek our own wise counsel. Then once a plan is set leaders need energy, drive and focus to ensure it is delivered. Speaking skills are crucial because we have to be able to inspire others and create interest, excitement and support for our vision. Leaders have to be able to convince people they are on the right track. We must keep a sense of humour and perspective. We must also stand up for what we believe it. In my case that is equity and fairness.
Get in quick to attend Catherine's upcoming workshops in Sydney and Canberra.

Randall Library and the Department of Creative Writing are thrilled to welcome Gwendolyn Knapp (MFA 2006) back to campus as our featured writer for Thirsty Tome 2015. Knapp will read from and discuss her debut memoir After a While You Just Get Used to It - A Tale of Family Clutter (Gotham Books 2015).
About the book:
A vibrant new voice ups the self-deprecating memoir ante with tragicomic tales of her dysfunctional life in swampland Florida and America's Big Easy.
A dive bar palm reader who calls herself the Disco Queen Taiwan; a best friend with a deformed baklava; and Betty, the middle-aged Tales of the Cocktail volunteer who soils her pants on a party bus and is dealt with in the worst possible way. These are just a few of the unforgettable characters who populate Gwendolyn Knapp's hilarious and heartbreaking—yet ultimately uplifting—memoir debut, After a While You Just Get Used to It.
Growing up in a dying breed of eccentric Florida crackers, Knapp thought she had it rough—what with her pack rat mother, Margie; her aunt Susie, who has fewer teeth than prison stays; and Margie's bipolar boyfriend, John. But not long after Knapp moves to New Orleans, Margie packs up her House of Hoarders and follows along. As if Knapp weren't struggling enough to keep herself afloat, with odd jobs and trying to find love while suffering from irritable bowel syndrome, the thirty-year-old realizes that she's never going to escape her family's unendingly dysfunctional drama. Like bestselling authors Jenny Lawson, Laurie Notaro, and Julie Klausner before her, Knapp bares her sad and twisted life for readers everywhere to enjoy.
About the author:
Gwendolyn Knapp holds an MFA in Creative Writing from the University of North Carolina Wilmington. Her fiction has appeared in Crazyhorse and Quarterly West, and her nonfiction has appeared in The Southeast Review, Hayden's Ferry Review, The Best Creative Nonfiction Vol. 2, and Narrative.ly. She also had a notable essay mention in The Best American Essays 2013. Knapp lives in New Orleans, where her mother also relocated in 2010, along with tons of her junk. www.gwendolynknapp.com
About Thirsty Tome:

This year's event will include an introduction of Gwendolyn Knapp by American author and UNCW Creative Writing Professor Clyde Edgerton; a conversation with Knapp conducted by novelist and UNCW Creative Writing Professor Robert Anthony Siegel; a book signing provided by Pomegranate Books; readings by current MFA Creative Writing students; followed by refreshments and a reception.
Join us Tuesday, August 25, 2015, 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the Sherman Hayes Gallery on Randall Library's first floor. All our welcome.*
