"Compulsively page-turning. The true story of Jay Dobyns, all-American dad and undercover cop running and gunning with the most dangerous outlaws in the USA. A high-velocity trip into a frightening American underworld told in rapid-fire, hard-boiled prose."
—Evan Wright, author of the national bestseller Generation Kill
"No Angel pushes narrative nonfiction to new limits…If you wondered whether the bravura writing of Truman Capote and Hunter S. Thompson has a legacy, look no further. Dobyns leads us into the wacky, white world of the Hell's Angels, and with empathy and precision forces us to admit that bikers are all-too human."
—Sudhir Venkatesh, author of Gang Leader for a Day: A Rogue Sociologist Takes to the Streets
"Jay Dobyns is a hero. Out of a sense of duty, he closed his eyes and made a journey into Hell. For two years he walked through the valley of the shadow of death, but thankfully, he lived to tell this riveting story. Highly recommended!"
—William "Billy" Queen, Special Agent ATF, Ret. and New York Times bestselling author of Under and Alone
"A wild ride to the dark side. Jay Dobyns roars through the gritty underworld of organized crime that you never see in TV cop shows or read in the newspaper. He reveals the true, violent face of outlaw bikers—but also the tortured souls of the undercover cops who dare to infiltrate them."
—Julian Sher, co-author Angels of Death: Inside the Bikers' Global Crime Empire
"No Angel is an absolutely amazing account of one man's willingness to go above and beyond. Jay Dobyns, his team and those like them live life on the edge in an environment most can only imagine. This book provides a rare opportunity to share in the intensity, feel the adrenaline rush, smell the fear, and admire true courage and dedication."
—Michael Durant, author of the New York Times bestseller In the Company of Heroes
"Unprecedented and unputdownable…Most people reading this book would assume that it must be a novel since no human being could possibly be involved in so much action. However, this is the true story of a very special covert ATF agent who over decades immersed himself in the most violent and criminal culture known to law enforcement. Even as a former US Army Special Forces Operator and Police SWAT team leader, I found myself in awe of his death-defying exploits."
—Dr. Richard Carmona, 17th Surgeon General of the United States
"Ask yourself this question: would you put your life on the line for a cause? Jay Dobyns did. This book lets you experience some of the most dangerous activities of the best known biker gang in the world. Jay Dobyns brought honor to the ATF and is a true American hero."
—T.J. Leyden, author of Skinhead Confessions

Baking the tofu gives this vegan update of the classic chicken salad great flavor and chewy texture. Make it with my low-fat mayo!
It's chicken salad the way my mom used to make it–but with no chicken, mayo, or hard-boiled eggs. So maybe it's not exactly my mom's chicken salad, but it's close enough to satisfy my craving for something savory and crunchy to put between two slices of bread.
There are a lot of vegan chicken salad recipes on the internet, and while I'm sure they're great, none of them approach the 50's-style simplicity of my mother's chicken salad, seasoned mostly with sweet relish and copious amounts of mayonnaise.
I love a mouth-burning spicy meal just as much as the next Louisianian, but when it comes to my tofu "chicken" salad, I go old-school. Sure, you can spice this up with smoked paprika or chipotle pepper, but I like it mild and slightly sweet. Just like my mother makes–or would, if she were a vegan.
Old Fashioned Vegan Chicken Salad
- 1 14-ounce package extra-firm tofu
- 1/4 cup vegetable broth or "no-chicken" broth
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon dried sage
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 ribs celery , chopped
- 2 1/2 tablespoons tofu-cashew mayo or other vegan mayonnaise
- 2 1/2 tablespoons sweet relish
- 1/4 teaspoon mustard (or more to taste)
- 2 tablespoons sliced or slivered almonds (optional)
- 1 teaspoon chopped chives (optional)
- salt and black pepper , to taste
- Preheat oven to 400 F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut the tofu into about 8 equal slices, and then cut those slices in half. Place two paper towels (one on top of the other) or a clean tea towel on the counter and place the tofu slices on top. Cover with two more paper towels or tea towel. Gently press each slice of tofu until the towels are saturated with water. Replace the towels on top with another layer and press until most of the water is pressed out of the tofu. Place the tofu on the prepared baking sheet.
- Mix the broth, soy sauce or tamari, thyme, sage, and pepper. Pour half of it over each slice of tofu. Turn the tofu over and pour the remaining liquid over it. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, until tofu is beginning to brown on the edges. Remove from the oven and let it cool on the baking sheet.
- Once the tofu is cool, tear each piece into small, irregular pieces. (You can also cut it, but it looks more natural if you tear it and somehow tastes better, too.) Place it in a medium mixing bowl and add all remaining ingredients. Mix well, and add salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate until completely chilled. Serve in sandwiches, on top of salad, or rolled into lettuce leaves or tortillas.
Nutritional info is approximate.

A roasting pan. Buttons. A kettle. Fish vertebrae. Hammering nails. The animal-bone handle of a toothbrush. All are evidence of a long-forgotten community of African Americans who, until the early 1990s, were a mere footnote in historical accounts of New York City.
Before Central Park ever existed, they lived in the area from 82nd to 89th streets, between Seventh and Eighth avenues. They had three churches, a school (Colored School No. 3) and five cemeteries. A teacher lived there, as did a grocer, a porter, a midwife, a domestic worker, a cobbler and a sailor. Some of the children went to school, while others stayed behind working the farms, or perhaps running errands down at the docks. Some residents may have been street vendors, selling fruit, pie and hot corn.
They were, in fact, New York's first significant group of African-American property owners.
"To ensure that they were worthy of suffrage, black men [unlike white men] could only vote if they owned $250 in real estate," says Leslie Harris, associate professor of history and African-American studies at Emory University. "[So] land was critical for full citizenship."
This summer, after a 13-year campaign appealing to New York City's Department of Parks and Recreation for digging rights, archaeologists and 10 student researchers from Barnard and other local colleges completed eight weeks of excavation at the site of Seneca Village, once home to hundreds of black Americans displaced by the creation of Central Park. The result: some 250 zip-close bags of artifacts and architectural evidence.
Tangible Evidence of Black Lives
"The first few days, we dug in an area and found these walls," says Nan Rothschild, an anthropology professor at Barnard College and Columbia University and one of three co-directors of the Institute for the Exploration of Seneca Village History. "At first we thought it might be part of All Angels' Church. But then we realized that these were the walls of a three-story home. That to me was very exciting."
The expedition unearthed a treasure trove of artifacts: a variety of ceramics made of porcelain, stoneware and pearl; the stem of a clay tobacco pipe; marbles.
"The marbles really touched me," says Cynthia Copeland, a co-director of the institute. "Because they reminded me that children were there … The leather shoe was another important moment," she adds, describing it as "small and narrow," found "embedded in the subterranean walls, covered in dirt, and strands of root.
"These material objects bring the community back," says Copeland, "and allow them the dignity that they probably didn't have when they left."
"With slavery," says Leslie Harris, an advisory board member for the institute, "we're so often looking at whips and chains, and so we're kind of starved for these very mundane objects [that] serve as tangible evidence of emotional ties and everyday life."
Documenting Details Once Ignored
Seneca Village, whose name suggests a Native American influence, arose when free, emancipated and escaped blacks bought property in the area from 1825-1857. It was a mere footnote in historical accounts but was brought to light in The Park and the People, by Roy Rosenzweig and Elizabeth Blackmar.
The Seneca Village find echoes other discoveries of a rich, full existence of early black American life and helps to fill in details that were often ignored as unimportant to documenting American history. In the early 1990s, remains of an African Burial Ground were discovered in lower Manhattan, evidence that as many as 20,000 bodies had been interred in a region east of Chambers Street in the early 18th century.
After much controversy surrounding construction of a federal building on the land, the remains were eventually excavated and reinterred. The site, at Broadway and Reade Street, was declared a national historic landmark in 1993. More recently, in 2010 the National Park Service conducted an archaeological dig at the site of L'Hermitage Plantation in Frederick County, Md., where foundations of slave cabins still sit under shallow ground.
Seneca Village boasted a propertied and moneyed set. One of its first known property owners was Andrew Williams, an African-American "bootblack" who, at 25, bought three lots of land for $125 in 1825, according to The Park and the People.
Elizabeth and Diana Harding, most likely a mother and daughter, respectively, also purchased land in 1825, and Elizabeth even managed to keep the property in her own name after her marriage to Obadiah McCollin, a cook who owned two lots of his own in Seneca Village.
In all, some 24 lots were sold to black families during this period, and by 1855 the community (described as "Nigger Village" in the press) had at least 264 residents. Rosenzweig and Blackmar found evidence of adoptions of children among neighboring families, and depict a tightly woven, deeply reverent group: "One of the pillars of New York's antebellum black community."
And by 1857, with the opening of Central Park (which first became available for public use in 1859), they were gone.
Part of a Pattern of Displacement
"It's part of a pattern on the island of Manhattan," says Harris, who also served as principal adviser to the Slavery in New York exhibit at the New-York Historical Society in 2005. "As property values increase, even having a deed doesn't protect African Americans from being forced [out]. So the arrival at Harlem is a great achievement. But it is also the push out of formerly integrated spaces and into segregated ones."
In order to displace black residents, there had to be a concerted effort to demonize the community, Harris says, to paint it as morally decrepit or unworthy of full citizenship. Park planners "mischaracterized" Seneca Village, she says, "in order to justify destroying it … saying it was seedy, immoral and full of impoverished people."
It should be said that most landowners were well-compensated financially for their losses, as Rosenzweig and Blackmar note, and even saw a profit. Still, residents resisted.
"They must have known it was coming," says Rothschild. "But it might have taken several years. Maybe some even thought it wouldn't happen."
"The Ebon inhabitants," read a New York Daily Times report on July 9, 1856, " … have been notified to remove by the first of August. The policemen find it difficult to persuade them out of the idea which has possessed their simple minds, that the sole object of the authorities in making the Park is to procure their expulsion from the homes which they occupy."
"People love Central Park," says Copeland. "We can't imagine the city without it. But it has a history that needs to be told. What happened before matters."
A public open house at the Seneca Village site — entering the park at Central Park West and 85th Street, near the playgrounds — will take place Aug. 24 (rain date is Aug. 25).

Women's Rights
Last updated Sunday, March 14, 2010.
Women's rights around the world is an important indicator to understand global well-being.
A major global women's rights treaty was ratified by the majority of the world's nations a few decades ago.
Yet, despite many successes in empowering women, numerous issues still exist in all areas of life, ranging from the cultural, political to the economic. For example, women often work more than men, yet are paid less; gender discrimination affects girls and women throughout their lifetime; and women and girls are often are the ones that suffer the most poverty.
Gender equality furthers the cause of child survival and development for all of society, so the importance of women's rights and gender equality should not be underestimated.

Corporations and Human Rights
Last updated Thursday, September 19, 2002.
Large, transnational corporations are becoming increasingly powerful. As profits are naturally the most important goal, damaging results can arise, such as violation of human rights, lobbying for and participating in manipulated international agreements, environmental damage, child labor, driving towards cheaper and cheaper labor, and so on. Multinational corporations claim that their involvement in foreign countries is actually a constructive engagement as it can promote human rights in non-democratic nations. However, it seems that that is more of a convenient excuse to continue exploitative practices.

Surveillance State: NSA Spying and more
Posted Monday, October 07, 2013.
At the start of June 2013, a large number of documents detailing surveillance by intelligence agencies such as the US's NSA and UK's GCHQ started to be revealed, based on information supplied by NSA whistle blower, Edward Snowden.
These leaks revealed a massive surveillance program that included interception of email and other Internet communications and phone call tapping. Some of it appears illegal, while other revelations show the US spying on friendly nations during various international summits.
Unsurprisingly, there has been a lot of furor. While some countries are no doubt using this to win some diplomatic points, there has been an increase in tension with the US and other regions around the world.
Much of the US surveillance programs came from the aftermath of the 9-11 terrorist attacks on the US in 2001. Concerns about a crackdown on civil rights in the wake of the so-called
war on terror have been expressed for a long time, and these revelations seem to be confirming some of those fears.
Given the widespread collection of information, apparently from central servers of major Internet companies and from other core servers that form part of the Internet backbone, activities of millions (if not billions) of citizens have been caught up in a dragnet style surveillance problem called PRISM, even when the communication has nothing to do with terrorism.
What impacts would such secretive mass surveillance have on democracy?

* Gore says Congress bows to polluters
* New York will not retreat from waterfront-Bloomberg
By Edith Honan and Hilary Russ
NEW YORK, Dec 6 (Reuters) - Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore on Thursday sharply criticized President Barack Obama, a fellow Democrat, for failing to make global warming a priority issue, saying action was more urgent than ever after the devastation in the Northeast from Superstorm Sandy.
"I deeply respect our president and I am grateful for the steps that he has taken, but we cannot have four more years of mentioning this occasionally and saying it's too bad that the Congress can't act," Gore told the New York League of Conservation Voters.
Gore was the surprise guest to introduce New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who spoke about the city's response to Sandy, which slammed into the city on Oct. 29, killing 43 people, destroying homes, and knocking out power, mass transit and telephone service in huge swaths of the city.
Nationally, the storm caused at least ${esc.dollar}50 billion in damage and killed at least 131 people, officials said.
Much of Lower Manhattan flooded from the storm surge, a danger many climate scientists warn will become more acute as the burning of fossil fuels contributes to higher global temperatures that speed the melting of polar ice, raising sea levels.
Bloomberg has long sounded alarm bells about climate change and the city's vulnerability to major storms. His blueprint for infrastructure needs, called PlaNYC, aims to cut the city's carbon footprint by 30 percent by 2030 and he has pushed to limit dependence on coal, a leading source of carbon emissions.
Bloomberg showed a picture of Gore and himself painting a city roof with white paint, a technique that keeps temperatures down and helps cut energy consumption.
The mayor also echoed some of Gore's sentiments about leadership in Washington, saying cities were "not waiting for national governments to act on climate change."
But Bloomberg added: "We had help from every part of the federal government. Everything we asked for we had. Now we've got to get some money out of them, but that's another issue."
The city has asked Washington for ${esc.dollar}9.8 billion to pay for costs from Sandy not covered by insurance or other federal funds.
Much of Gore's remarks centered on leaders in Washington, who he said had abdicated responsibility on carbon as humans treat the atmosphere as an "open sewer."
Gore, a long-time environmental advocate who served under President Bill Clinton, helped raise awareness on climate change by narrating the hit documentary "An Inconvenient Truth," which won two Academy Awards in 2007.
"Our democracy has been hacked," Gore said. "And when the large part of polluters and their ideological allies tell the members of Congress to jump, they do say, 'how high?' And we need leadership in the executive branch as well."
While saying New York must be more prepared for storms, Bloomberg was defiant that the city will not flee from its 520 miles (837 km) of shoreline.
"Let me be clear: We are not going to abandon the waterfront ... But we can't just rebuild what was there and hope for the best. We have to build smarter and stronger and more sustainably," Bloomberg said.
New York state Governor Andrew Cuomo has asked for ${esc.dollar}41.9 billion in federal disaster assistance, including ${esc.dollar}9.1 billion for projects to prevent and mitigate damage from future storms. (Editing by Daniel Trotta and Vicki Allen)

#include <sched.h> int sched_setscheduler(pid_t pid, int policy,
const struct sched_param *param); int sched_getscheduler(pid_t pid); struct sched_param { ... int sched_priority; ... };
The following "real-time" policies are also supported, for special time-critical applications that need precise control over the way in which runnable processes are selected for execution:
The semantics of each of these policies are detailed below.
sched_getscheduler() queries the scheduling policy currently applied to the process identified by pid. If pid equals zero, the policy of the calling process will be retrieved.
For processes scheduled under one of the normal scheduling policies (SCHED_OTHER, SCHED_IDLE, SCHED_BATCH), sched_priority is not used in scheduling decisions (it must be specified as 0).
Processes scheduled under one of the real-time policies (SCHED_FIFO, SCHED_RR) have a sched_priority value in the range 1 (low) to 99 (high). (As the numbers imply, real-time processes always have higher priority than normal processes.) Note well: POSIX.1-2001 only requires an implementation to support a minimum 32 distinct priority levels for the real-time policies, and some systems supply just this minimum. Portable programs should use sched_get_priority_min(2) and sched_get_priority_max(2) to find the range of priorities supported for a particular policy.
Conceptually, the scheduler maintains a list of runnable processes for each possible sched_priority value. In order to determine which process runs next, the scheduler looks for the nonempty list with the highest static priority and selects the process at the head of this list.
A process's scheduling policy determines where it will be inserted into the list of processes with equal static priority and how it will move inside this list.
All scheduling is preemptive: if a process with a higher static priority becomes ready to run, the currently running process will be preempted and returned to the wait list for its static priority level. The scheduling policy only determines the ordering within the list of runnable processes with equal static priority.
No other events will move a process scheduled under the SCHED_FIFO policy in the wait list of runnable processes with equal static priority.
A SCHED_FIFO process runs until either it is blocked by an I/O request, it is preempted by a higher priority process, or it calls sched_yield(2).
This policy is useful for workloads that are noninteractive, but do not want to lower their nice value, and for workloads that want a deterministic scheduling policy without interactivity causing extra preemptions (between the workload's tasks).
This policy is intended for running jobs at extremely low priority (lower even than a +19 nice value with the SCHED_OTHER or SCHED_BATCH policies).
More precisely, if the SCHED_RESET_ON_FORK flag is specified, the following rules apply for subsequently created children:
After the SCHED_RESET_ON_FORK flag has been enabled, it can only be reset if the process has the CAP_SYS_NICE capability. This flag is disabled in child processes created by fork(2).
The SCHED_RESET_ON_FORK flag is visible in the policy value returned by sched_getscheduler()
Since Linux 2.6.12, the RLIMIT_RTPRIO resource limit defines a ceiling on an unprivileged process's static priority for the SCHED_RR and SCHED_FIFO policies. The rules for changing scheduling policy and priority are as follows:
Privileged (CAP_SYS_NICE) processes ignore the RLIMIT_RTPRIO limit; as with older kernels, they can make arbitrary changes to scheduling policy and priority. See getrlimit(2) for further information on RLIMIT_RTPRIO.
Memory locking is usually needed for real-time processes to avoid paging delays; this can be done with mlock(2) or mlockall(2).
Since a nonblocking infinite loop in a process scheduled under SCHED_FIFO or SCHED_RR will block all processes with lower priority forever, a software developer should always keep available on the console a shell scheduled under a higher static priority than the tested application. This will allow an emergency kill of tested real-time applications that do not block or terminate as expected. See also the description of the RLIMIT_RTTIME resource limit in getrlimit(2).
POSIX systems on which sched_setscheduler() and sched_getscheduler() are available define _POSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING in <unistd.h>.
Originally, Standard Linux was intended as a general-purpose operating system being able to handle background processes, interactive applications, and less demanding real-time applications (applications that need to usually meet timing deadlines). Although the Linux kernel 2.6 allowed for kernel preemption and the newly introduced O(1) scheduler ensures that the time needed to schedule is fixed and deterministic irrespective of the number of active tasks, true real-time computing was not possible up to kernel version 2.6.17.
and can be downloaded from http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/.
Without the patches and prior to their full inclusion into the mainline kernel, the kernel configuration offers only the three preemption classes CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE, CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY, and CONFIG_PREEMPT_DESKTOP which respectively provide no, some, and considerable reduction of the worst-case scheduling latency.
With the patches applied or after their full inclusion into the mainline kernel, the additional configuration item CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT becomes available. If this is selected, Linux is transformed into a regular real-time operating system. The FIFO and RR scheduling policies that can be selected using sched_setscheduler() are then used to run a process with true real-time priority and a minimum worst-case scheduling latency.

Oh, tahini monster, it's been a while. But now you're back. From outer space. With cookies in tow. And they're caramelly, somewhat fudgy cookies at that. For
British eyes tahini lovers only.
I went all out & shoved some strawberry rosewater ice cream in there. Aren't I wild?
I debated using another picture where the ice cream hadn't yet suffered from the, er, blissful heat, but I think I can deal with the melt if you can too.
Sesame Cookies:
3/4 cup (192 g) tahini (best if it's pourable, not too thick)
1/3 cup (105 g) agave nectar
1/2 cup (110 g) packed light brown sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 cup (125 g) all-purpose or whole wheat pastry flour
3 tablespoons (24 g) sesame seeds
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
Preheat oven to 325°F (170°C, or gas mark 3). Line a couple of cookie sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine tahini, agave, sugar, and vanilla. Add flour, sesame seeds, baking powder and salt on top and stir until combined. If the dough is dry considering all tahinis aren't created equal, work the dough with your hands. It should work the moisture/oils out, but if it still doesn't, consider adding a touch of any nondairy milk.
Scoop out 2 tablespoons (50 g) of dough per cookie, and flatten as these won't spread much while baking.
Place 6 cookies per sheet. Bake for 12 minutes, or until golden brown.
Let cool on the sheet for a couple of minutes before transferring onto a wire rack to cool.
Repeat baking session with second sheet.
Yield: 12 cookies

After putting the disks of the 7-stable system which exhibited stability problems into a completely different system (it is a rented root-server, not our own hardware), the system now survived more than a day (and still no trace of problems) with the UFS setup. Previously it would crash after some minutes.
The ZFS setup with the changed hardware had a problem during the night before (like always after all my ZFS related changes on this machine), but on this machine I changed all locks in ZFS from shared locks to exclusive locks (this extended the uptime from 4 – 6 hours to "until I rebooted the morning after because of hanging processes"), so this may be because of this. I do not know yet if we will test the ZFS setup with the pure 7‑stable source we use now or not (the goal was to get back a stable system, instead of playing around with unrelated stuff).
It looks like some kind of hardware problem was uncovered by updating from 7.1 to 7.2 (and 7‑stable subsequently). This new machine has a completely different chipset, a new CPU and RAM and PSU and … so I do not really know what caused this (but the fact that the previous system did not recognize the CPU after replacing it with a bigger one and the observation that only shared locks with a specific usage pattern where affected lets me point towards missing microcode updates…).

AMD has been getting a lot of press these days with its recently released Phenom II processors. We covered the Phenom II X4 940 launch six weeks ago, and we focused on the CPU for that review. This is the second half of that review; we are reviewing the 790GX chipset, the Dragon platform, and actually overclocking the Phenom II X4 940 above 4GHz. The GA-MA790GP-DS4H was one of three boards available at launch that supported and proved to be a sufficient platform for both stock and overclocked testing of Phenom II.
The GA-MA790GP-DS4H is an unusual board in that it works both as an enthusiast overclocking platform and a meek desktop platform. The board has extensive support for overclocking but includes features like an integrated HD3300 GPU and SidePort connected GPU memory to enable HD video playback. Today, we'll test the integrated GPU along with some beefier discrete GPUs and overclock Phenom II further than we have before.
Below is a the specification chart from Gigabyte illustrating all the features included within the GA-MA790GP-DS4H. The board has plenty of expansion opportunities and is quite feature-rich given its $140 price tag. The bang for buck is remarkable when comparing the GA-MA790GP-DS4H to the X58 motherboards with price tags nearly double what the GA-MA790GP-DS4H costs.

"She did not often have such strong emotions. But she suddenly felt powerless against her passion and the desire to throw herself into the arms of the cousin whom she saw at a family funeral. "It can only be because of that patch," said Marianne, a participant in a multinational trial of a testosterone patch designed to treat hypoactive sexual desire disorder, in which a woman is devoid of libido. Testosterone, a hormone ordinarily produced by the ovaries, is linked to female sexual function, and the women in this 2005 study had undergone operations to remove their ovaries.
"After 12 weeks of the trial, Marianne had felt her sexual desire return. Touching herself unleashed erotic sensations and vivid sexual fantasies. Eventually she could make love to her husband again and experienced an orgasm for the first time in almost three years. But that improvement was not because of testosterone, it turned out. Marianne was among the half of the women who had received a placebo patch—with no testosterone in it at all..." read more in SciAm

PROVIDENCE — Rhode Island should do more to retain and support its home-grown businesses and loosen regulatory restrictions as it seeks to revamp economic development efforts, an outside consultant hired to analyze the state economy said Wednesday.
In a report presented to Governor Lincoln Chafee, Fourth Economy Consulting of Pittsburgh urged the state to ''create one voice'' and set a clearer course for developing the state's struggling economy. The state has lost 4.5 percent of its jobs between 2002 and 2012, and it is tied with Nevada for having the country's highest unemployment rate, 10.2 percent.
Rich Overmoyer, chief executive officer of Fourth Economy, said in releasing the report at the State House that Rhode Island should support its existing businesses and cultivate innovative companies being launched, including through mentoring and incubator programs.
''You can grow your own,'' he said.
Overmoyer also stressed that improvement takes time.
''There are no quick solutions,'' he said. ''It takes a lot of concerted effort and planning to move forward.''
The 104-page report, one of several released on the state economy in recent months, analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of Rhode Island's existing industry clusters, including information technology and digital media, tourism, life sciences, and marine trades.
But it said state leaders should move beyond the traditional cluster model and combine areas of strength to compensate for the fact that Rhode Island's economy is so small.
The report identified several potential new opportunities, including biotextiles, advanced boat and ship building, and fitness and recreation.
The report said the state has taken steps to ease burdensome regulations — and should do more on that front — but described its tax climate as a ''challenge.''
Chafee has proposed in next year's budget to cut the corporate tax rate from 9 percent to 7 percent over three years, which would make it the lowest in New England, rather than the highest.
Chafee, an independent, said the data and analysis in the report will help guide Rhode Island's economic development efforts in a deliberate, methodical way. One thing the state must do is ''make sure we don't lose focus on the companies that are here in Rhode Island,'' he said.
''Good things are happening,'' he told reporters after being briefed on the report. ''We're building the economy the right way.''
The study was funded in part through a $1.9 million federal grant Rhode Island received as part of the White House's Sustainable Communities Initiative.
A separate report by PolicyLink, also released Wednesday, looked at Rhode Island's changing demographics and how that will affect its economy.
The study pointed out that more than a quarter of all black and Latino Rhode Islanders live below the poverty line and that, by 2040, 41 percent of the state's population will be minorities.
Chafee pointed out that the makeup of the state and the nation is changing and that Rhode Island needs to work to close racial achievement and employment gaps.
''Education is the equalizer,'' he said.

Go [url]www.slickdeals.net[/url] and search for whatever you may be looking for.
It is a forum website (just like here) where members post great deals to anything and everything you could imagine. There are a lot fitness oriented members there who quite frequently find great deals on workout supps. Here are some examples (all of which are currently dead):
5lb Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Protein Gold Standard (double rich chocolate or vanilla ice cream) $28 + Free Shipping
Usp Labs Jacked / Jack3d Lemon Lime, 250-Gram 8.8oz $19.88 shipped
VPX NO SHOTGUN MHF-1 (Watermelon) $26.54 free shipping
GNC Vitamins on sale $9.99, free ship too, +15% off orders over $75 w/code, 5/11/11 Only
Just so you know, I'm not affiliated with the website at all, other than being a member. I've been using it for years. It's a great place to search before you buy anything at all - health food, tvs, cars, clothes, whatever. I just wanted to give you guys a heads-up!
^ Awesome, Robert. I'm sure it will be as helpful to everybody else here as it has been for me.
One strategy I use is to start checking the website a couple of weeks before I will need to reorder a supp. If you create an account there, you can setup automatic keyword alerts so that anytime a thread is posted with a particular word or group of words (e.g. "protein" or "Animal Pak") you will receive an email notification - that way you won't miss out on a deal. Take my word for it, once a great deal pops up on Slickdeals, it usually does not last very long. SDers (slickdealers) call it the "SD effect".
Thank you, a useful site.
Been using slickdeals for a number of things over the years, but never considered looking for supplements on there. Great idea!
You should also check out supplementwarehouse.com they will match the price of any website and beat it by 5%, huge range of products, its where i go when I'm looking for supplements. just started the controlled labs stack of supplements and got them for between 40-50% less than regular price, great site just thought i'd throw it out there
I truly believe one should do their research before buying or trying a new product. This will both help you in saving money and finding what is best for you! Also please remember not all supplements affect people in the same ways this could be to a number of factors I.E. high tolerance to caffeine can inhibit Pre-Workout supplements with caffeine in them.
thx for the info, seriously..I usually order from BB.com but will give this a try...Thx again, Cheers!!
Here are some good deals I just found at COSTCO:
C4 by Cellucor: 2 pack of 30 servings container - Fruit Punch for $38.
Optimum Nutrition - 100 Whey Protein Isolate (0% from concentrate), 5 lb container - Vanilla for $55.
You have to have a membership to Coscto, but these prices are so good it's worth asking around to see if any friends have a membership.
im currently on hemo rage i just purchased a few days ago i had cellucore C4 and my coworkers told me to get hemo rage i didnt notice much change after taking it today.Thoughts
Thanks for sharing
I've also been using BB .com to get my stash but I will definitely check this one out.

Zen Pinball is now available on Apple TV Play your purchased iOS tables on tvOS! More info on our blog page here.
Zen Pinball is now available on Apple TV Play your purchased iOS tables on tvOS! More info on our blog page here.
Ok, but when I go to restore purchases, it doesn't recognize that I own any of the iOS tables and I own a good number of them. I tried re-buying one of them, and it actually charged me for it... that seems wrong. I bought this under the assumption that all previously purchased tables would be restorable...
Hi, just installed on Apple TV. Games look great, but there is a lot of lag when using the Nimbus controller.
I have the Star Wars Pinball app on iOS. Bought a few tables there. Just downloaded Zen Pinball for Apple TV 4 (tvOS), and it won't restore my purchases??? This app is a fail if I have to buy them again
I appreciate this has already been mentioned, but do you intend to support the Apple certified SteelSeries Nimbus controller for use with Apple TV? The flipper lag is dreadful and makes the game unplayable - this is not what I expect when using Apple certified products with approved third party software.
Using the Siri remote is not an option for playing pinball, there are times when both flippers need to be used simultaneously and this is not possible with the included remote.
Please address this issue.
Answers in this thread makes no sense. The Steel Series Nimbus is the Apple recommended MFi controller. You support MFi controller. Ergo you support the number one used controller with the AppleTV: The Steel Series Nimbus. Correct?The tvOS version of Zen Pinball features all the same great content and huge library of tables as the iOS version along with both Siri remote and MFi controller support.
Do you even play this game yourself before you release? Did you only play it with the Siri remote? The lag is NOT related to the TV (we know how to set it to game mode/lag free mode). The Nimbus has zero lag in all other games, this an issue with Zen Pinball. Please come back with a proper answer on how you plan to resolve this as the game is unplayable in its current state. Using the Siri remote is not an option as many have pointed out.
For the record both my Nimbus controllers are up to date with the latest firmware.
in another thread, we also saw lag with the Nimbus controller during testing, but adjusting the TV input settings helped.
The lag is NOT related to the TV (we know how to set it to game mode/lag free mode). The Nimbus has zero lag in all other games, this an issue with Zen Pinball. Please come back with a proper answer on how you plan to resolve this as the game is unplayable in its current state.
Then you shouldn't be permitted to publish games on Apple TV.
How many more times must we state:
Please for the sake of all our sanity, PLEASE support the Apple certified SteelSeries Nimbus controller
Hey guys - the team has some suggestions and questions for this issue, and if anyone is willing to test this out it could be helpful to us - please try to connect to a monitor/another TV having a response time around 14ms, and see if that works. If the game does work properly on a monitor, then this means that the TV/cable has a bad response time (which adjusting the input settings should help).
In the past we have also seen cases where the HDMI cable caused lag: if it is not good quality and it is long, it may result in this behavior. If you can, you may want to try a different (better quality/shorter) HDMI cable.
Additional questions:
Do you also see input lag with the Siri remote? Or is it just the Nimbus?
Does the issue appear right from the start or does the lag "build up" over some time?
I use the Steelseries Nimbus controller with my AppleTv and it works fine. If there is lag I do not see it. I have my AppleTV connected directly to my TV with a highspeed HDMI cable. My concern is that Not all of the games that I have purchased are on the Apple TV. Hmmm. I have on my computer and iPhone several games including Back to the Future, Jaws, Ailens, Star Wars, and a couple others. But only a few, Ailens are on the AppleTV. Why don't the other games download to AppleTV?
It says on your blog...............Additionally, any tables you've purchased on the iOS version of Zen Pinball can be played on your Apple TV, and vice versa! I have found that this is not true. I see a couple of tables that I purchased for my Mac on AppleTV but not all of them. How can I get the other ones to download?
Have you tried restoring your purchases on the Apple TV? Also, if you have more than one account on the Apple TV, make sure you're signed in with the proper account.
Oh, and I'm not sure if the MAC and iOS versions are cross-compatible. I think they're two separate products. iOS definitely goes between iPhone, iPad and Apple TV.

by Paula M. Riley
During this week of cupids, candy hearts and red roses, some couples show their love and commitment towards each other in very touching ways.
"She is my co-pilot," says Tom Conboy, 81, as he describes Ann, 75, his wife of 54 years! After raising five sons together, they are now retired. Each Friday morning, the two of them load a dozen meals into their car and deliver these to homebound residents in the Chestnut Hill area. She gives him the directions to the five homes they visit, and he takes the meals inside.
Tom has been volunteering with Chestnut Hill Meals on Wheels (MOW) since 1994 when a friend got sick and asked him to take his route. From that day forward, Tom has been delivering meals and shared a route with a good friend, Ed Heim, for more than a decade. When Ed died in 2007, Tom asked his wife to join him on the route.
"She really enjoys it," Tom said. "We have a few laughs, and she likes to keep me company." Usually, Ann stays in the car while Tom takes the meal inside. She is in charge of directions. They both find the work very rewarding and are happy that they are well enough to get out each week.
Since Valentine's Day fell on a Monday this year, the couple wasn't delivering meals, but they still celebrated the holiday. Ann gave Tom a box of candy and a blue shirt a day early on Sunday evening. "I told her I didn't get her anything," Tom said, laughing. "I lied; I did get her a nice card and box of candy!"
Though they haven't been married for five decades like the Conboys, Kathleen, 28, and Mark Novasack, 30, also volunteer together as drivers for Meals on Wheels once a week. Kathleen experienced her first Meals on Wheels route in Dover, NJ, when she was strapped in an infant car seat. Throughout her childhood, her mother took her on the meal deliveries. "I have extremely fond memories of the people we'd see and visit with each week," she said.
When Kathleen and Mark moved to Chestnut Hill from New York City in 2007, they visited the MOW booth at a Garden Festival but were unable to volunteer at the time due to work schedules. After their daughter, Juliette, was born nine months ago and Mark returned to school full-time, they had a more flexible schedule, so they started delivering meals.
Each Friday, the young couple loads meals in the back of their SUV. They love to spend the time together as a couple and as a family. "We have enjoyed getting to know the folks on our run," said Kathleen. "Juliette always has a smile to share, which brings a little extra joy to the MOW clients!"
Kathleen always knew she wanted to volunteer with Meals on Wheels as an adult, but sharing the experience with her husband makes the volunteer service much more special. "Volunteering as a couple makes our experience so much richer. Not only do we look forward to delivering meals, but also spending time with each other. Life can get hectic, so it's nice to have a date each week to help people in our community while spending quality time together as a family."
As they are in their marriages, the Conboys and Novasacks are committed to Chestnut Hill Meals on Wheels. Like so many of the volunteers this organization relies on every day, these four individuals are touching the lives of others.
"We are so grateful to the Conboys and Novascks for their service to Chestnut Hill Meals on Wheels," said MOW board member Laurene Topping. "These couples are role models for community service as a family. Their commitment shows that community is an extension of family and that community service is a critical aspect of meaningful family life."
According to Jami Dolby, community outreach director for MOW, "Once while out on a delivery, the Novasacks had a flat tire and immediately called our office. The call was not to ask us to finish the route but to inform us that they would be late, because after AAA finished changing the tire, they still planned to finish delivering the meals to our clients. While these two couples you are highlighting are separated by generation gaps, together they share a love for each other and a passion for giving back to the community."
There are many opportunities to volunteer at Meals On Wheels. Drivers do not need to go in pairs, and children are always welcome. Routes usually involve five to six deliveries, which are spaced close together, and visits inside the homes are as long or short as volunteers would like them to be.
Volunteers are needed to pack the meals, help with mailings and plan fundraisers. "We have so many wonderful volunteers and are always looking for more!" said Topping. "Whatever your skills, time commitment or interest, we have something for you to do at Chestnut Hill Meals on Wheels." For more information, visit www.chestnuthillmow.com or call 215-233-5555.

The ASP.NET MVC Framework provides a lot of control over rendering HTML out of the box, but that comes at a cost. The HTML helpers are basic and provide only simple user-interface elements, leaving it up to you to hand-craft UIs using HTML and CSS. Although that's a great option for an experienced Web designer, most developers find third-party components a boost to productivity. They let you develop your application rather than spend lots of time on UI infrastructure.
That's what the NuGet Package Manager is all about. This article teaches you a little bit about NuGet and shows you how to use it to add functionality to a project.
About NuGet
NuGet is a Visual Studio extension that makes it easy to pull libraries, components, and, most importantly, their configuration into your Visual Studio project. This tool is installed with MVC 3 and it is used to bring in various components to make developing with MVC easier. These components are called NuGet packages, and they can include .NET assemblies, JavaScript files, HTML/Razor files, CSS files, images, and even files that can add configuration data to your project's web.config. The goal of NuGet is to make it super-easy to load or update a component.
When you create an MVC3 project in Visual Studio, some NuGet packages are automatically installed. These are jQuery, jQuery UI, Modernizr, and Entity Framework. The reason this is a big deal for you and me is this: jQuery and Modernizr are open-source projects that have frequent releases, much more frequent than the release schedule of ASP.NET or MVC. Because these libraries are included in the default project as NuGet packages, it is insanely easy to update to the latest versions: All it takes is the click of a button. Without NuGet, updating these libraries would have been a manual process of searching for each of the project's Web sites and downloading the files. While this change may seem trivial, it is not. The ability to update and move fast will allow you to begin writing code sooner and spend less time guessing and testing libraries. If you update a library and your tests fail, it is trivial to roll back to the previous version.
NuGet has both a GUI and command-line interface to work with packages in your projects. First, we will walk through updating a library from the default project template using the GUI. In the Visual Studio Solution Explorer window, right-click on the Project node and you will see a new context menu: Manage NuGet Packages (Figure 1).
Clicking on this menu will bring up the Manage NuGet Packages dialog. The dialog defaults to show packages that are installed in your project and have updates available on the office package source, as seen in Figure 2. The package source is a publicly hosted server that hosts both open-source and closed-source libraries and components.
An Update button shows up for each package that allows you to update the files in your project. Clicking Update for jQuery will make the following actions take place in your project: The old version of jQuery will be removed and the other packages that rely on jQuery will be removed. Then jQuery and the other libraries will be updated. The results of these actions show up in the Results dialog.
The real value that NuGet provides (which has not been described to this point) is how it understands how packages can have dependencies on other packages. The package dependencies could be trivial or complex, but NuGet understands how to deal with that and allows the package authors to specify dependency rules so you don't have to. This is where the real power of NuGet shines through. Before NuGet, this dependency management was communicated through release notes, blog posts, or sometimes never at all. It is these dependencies that can make it painful to use third-party libraries. NuGet replaces this complexity with rules that are implemented by the package authors. The result is a simple experience for developers who would rather write code than debug configuration and dependency issues.
While some of what NuGet does seems like magic, it is a pretty simple process to install and update packages. It is important to understand some basics about NuGet. The most important thing to know is that NuGet will create a folder under your solution file called Packages. Inside this folder, NuGet will download packages and extract some of its contents into named folders. These folders then get referenced by your projects when the package is installed. The reason this is important is that when using source control, you need to add all the files in the Packages folder into your source control system. Without those files your solution will not compile when a team member pulls down the source code to a different location or machine. Figure 3 shows a listing of the Packages folder created from the default MVC 3 project template.
NuGet brings files into your project in addition to adding them to the Packages folder. NuGet has the ability to add any kind of file to your project.
Now that you have a basic understanding of what NuGet does, we will start using it to add functionality to a project.

Go Hard
The phrase GO HARD means:To do something to the fullest without allowing yourself to abandon/surrender/quit the assignment at any point.
It is a BOLD AND BRAVE statement that someone will say to communicate that they will pour their heart, soul and mind into something and, even when it is all empty, they will find a way to pour more until the job is complete. It is a CONFIDENT/DECLARATIVE statement that one will be impenetrable, basically unyielding to pressure, to the point where no barrier you can think of (not sweat, tears, pressure, frustration, humiliation, etc) will prevent them from reaching their desired goal.
This,therefore, is a brief to design a logo that captures a bold and unique approach to pursuing ones goals, dreams, passions, and aspirations.
This statement is catching on in twitter (#gohard), extra points for thinking through how the hashtag (#) might be incorporated in the design.
There are two audiences to consider:
"I need help along the way"
Chasing your dreams is tough. Accomplishing difficult goals aren't usually even fun. They're not comfortable. They are not even easy. It's so much easier quit. Or perhaps not even try. These are the people that need motivation getting started or continuing the difficult task they set out to attain.
"This is how I am!"
And then there are those that live this as a lifestyle. Those who do everything to the fullest and leave nothing behind. They outwork everyone. They are fearless when it comes to taking risks. They don't care about being uncomfortable, they just GO HARD. A commercial that captures the heart of this target was done by Nike; two football players who GO HARD by leaving nothing left on the football field: http://bit.ly/aaj2kG What logo would you put on their chest? For them, this is just a statement about the way they live life.
We are looking for you to give us the best way to consistently communicate 'GO HARD' in a visual way
Have fun.
GO HARD on this design
Imagine it on web sites, sports bands, t-shirts, whatever is necessary to make the idea spread
Please don't use anything that would increase the cost (stock images, etc) unless you absolutely feel like it is necessary

Digital Health necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.

Digital Health Research
We're seeking a logo for our team looking to drive technology innovation in the healthcare space.
Our brand essence is based on "serious healthcare innovation." We hope our work will improve the lives of people suffering from major illnesses such as diabetes.
A bit more about the image we'd like to portray:
* Serious but not stuffy
* Innovative but not frivolous
* Informed
* Reliable
* Approachable and human
The logo could incorporate a graphical element (e.g., the Goldman Sachs box) but we think that just stylized text might make the most sense (i.e., we prefer not to have a symbol). Delusions of grandeur aside, IBM's and Oracle's logos are good examples of what we like.
We're not designers (or we wouldn't be asking for help!) so we don't want to be too prescriptive. We did, however, come up with an idea that could be interesting: split the logo into 3 lines (so it's square'ish) and take advantage of the fact that the "D" and the "G" look like zeroes and the "I" look like ones. Maybe the word "DIGITAL" fades from zeroes and ones to letters?
We're hoping that we can start to build a relationship with a designer who can eventually do our website design and the design work for our new company or companies as we launch them.
Potential customers and partners for healthcare related services, including:
* Patients currently suffering from (or at risk of contracting) chronic illnesses
* Medical doctors
* Medical coaches and other non-physician experts
* Health insurance companies
* Journalists and industry analysts
* "Digital Health Research" in a stylized font (one or two colors). Should be clear and easy-to-read
* Our brand essence is "serious healthcare innovation" so the logo should be novel without being frivolous and color choice should be considered
* Horizontal rectangular shaped design for easy use in usual places, e.g., top right corner of website, Powerpoint docs, etc.
* Simple, minimalist, clean
* Easy to recognize/transmit
* Large,medium and small JPGs of original logo
* Large, medium and small JPGs of logo in white / negative with transparent background color for use on black / dark background PPT / website
* Vector files (layered .psd and .ai files)
* You grant us IP ownership of mark
* RGB and PMS color definitions
Please AVOID:
* Use of stock images, clip art or proprietary fonts
* Use of symbol or unnecessary design elements
* Complicated or cluttered designs
* Cartoony or child-oriented designs

Holidays in Prad am Stilfserjoch/Prato allo Stelvio
The transition from steep mountainsides to a wide valley featuring fruit and vegetable gardens make for a spectacular holidayin Prad am Stilfserjoch. The bustling village stretches from the foot of the Stilfserjoch national park at 900 m to the Lichtenberger Höfe farms at 1,500 m. Prato's location in Val Venosta/Vinschgau makes it an ideal starting point for some of the most challenging hikes throughout the Alpine region. For strolls and easy tours, try the Prader Sand biotope reserve, a unique river delta and protected bird sanctuary with its arid land and pine forest.

This study argues that Peter Heylyn's critically neglected voyage narrative compilation (1652, eight editions before 1700) reveals vastly different British perceptions of "Indian" inhabitants of the Mughal Empire and the Americas. Current scholarship about literary depictions of wealth, power, and ethnicity in works by Milton, Behn, Dryden, and Defoe will therefore be reassessed in relation to Heylyn's Cosmographie and the contemporary voyage narratives that shaped British views of "Indians."

"The rules of the game have changed," then-Prime Minister Tony Blair said after the July 7, 2005, terrorist attacks in London as he announced that the U.K. government would clamp down on terrorists "whatever it takes." Now, the limits of such bold but vague intentions are on show as the draft Communications Data Bill undergoes pre-legislative scrutiny in a joint committee of British Members of Parliament and Peers. Is gathering digital data from the general population a necessary upgrade of law enforcement capabilities, as the British Government argues, or does it dilute the liberal tenets of British democracy for the sake of security?
Critics of the bill argue that, in its current form, it translates into a "snoopers' charter." Henry Porter, a columnist at the Observer, conveyed his concerns that Britain would become a police state when he appeared before Parliament on Tuesday. "I don't believe this entire nation should subject itself to a massive surveillance campaign by a few people who appear to be unscrutinized and the methods untransparent," he said. A week earlier, before the same committee of members of the House of Commons and the House of Lords, Lord Carlile, the official reviewer of terrorism legislation between 2001 and 2011, dismissed that argument, saying "the term 'snoopers' charter' is a complete traducement of this bill."
Many offenders are "not half as clever as you imagine," Carlile, a leading criminal lawyer, argued. He echoed the government's case: "Police should be able to know who was telephoning whom and for how long and what time... Prosecutions would be brought to their knees if this was not possible." Several officials from the Home Office, the U.K.'s interior ministry, were expected to be the last ones to appear before the Joint Committee on Wednesday afternoon. They were heard mostly behind closed doors, but were likely to follow the minister of security's justification, as expressed in a recent interview with the Guardian. "Those who want to do us serious harm are waiting for the moment we take our eye off the ball," James Brokenshire said.
Information about government plans to lay out a comprehensive "spy plan," as it has been characterized by the British press, were uncovered in February. "U.K. surveillance plan must be watched carefully," warned CPJ Internet Advocacy Coordinator Danny O'Brien, in this blog post. Public outcry from digital experts, journalists, and activists was immediate. "It would be the most intrusive law in democratic countries; it would be a snoopers' charter--not could; it risks undermining anonymity, particularly whistleblowing; and it would set a terrible example for authoritarian regimes," said Kirsty Hughes, chief executive of Index for Censorship, at a panel held last week in London, attended by CPJ and organized by Index and the Global Network Initiative.
Parliament decided to cool down the social debate and the legislative process by launching a scrutiny committee in July. Dozens of experts have been heard so far (see a full list here), with some observers worried about the lack of technical and technological expertise among the parliamentarians. "At least, by now the scrutiny committee knows what it doesn't know," said Emma Ascroft, director of public policy at Yahoo, during the debate. Once the committee wraps up proceedings in coming weeks, the bill will be subject to full parliamentary debate.
The bill would extend to up to 12 months the time telecommunications firms have to store data and broaden the range of the data they need to store. It would include data they don't currently retain like details of messages sent on social media such as Facebook or Twitter, Web-based mail such as Gmail, and voice calls over the Internet such as Skype, in addition to client-based emails and phone calls. The data would not include the "content" of messages (what is being said, written, or tweeted); officers would still need a warrant to access content. As stated in the draft presented by the government in June, "Communications data falls into three categories: subscriber data; use data; and traffic data." The British Government wants all telecommunications companies to store for a year those data, which include traffic information such as the time, duration, originator, and recipient of a communication and the location of the device from which it is made.
The main criticism of the bill derives from the consideration that in the digital era, the distinction between "communications data" and "content" is far less clear than it used to be. Traffic information such as the websites visited, the use of geolocalized telephone applications, or Facebook activity provides much more "content" about our lives than the traditional number dialed in telephone calls and at what time, in the pre-digital world (known as "use data"). "Traffic information, such as our Internet browsing activity, is much more intrusive than the so-called use data," said Jamie Bartlett, director of social media at Demos, a British think-tank, and one of the experts heard by the scrutiny committee.
"The bill is so broadly drafted that it might go down to any individual," said Ian Brown during the panel held in London, expressing a widely shared concern that any person could potentially be tracked. Bartlett and Brown both advocated a minimalist approach regarding the data involved, the people targeted, and the number of government agencies benefiting from the powers allocated by the bill. Brown, associate director of Oxford University's Cyber Security Centre, flatly denies that the current bill serves its stated purpose of combating security threats: "Many in big data companies argue that if we gather enough data from everyone and we mine it constantly we can prevent the next September 11, but scientists don't agree that this would help fighting terrorism," because the most threatening plots would circumvent the data gathering, he said. Brown noted that the U.K. already hosts the largest DNA database per capita in the world, which has raised privacy issues before the European Court of Human Rights.
From the perspective of Internet service providers (ISPs), Yahoo's Ascroft expressed her concerns about the extension of British jurisdiction enshrined in the draft law. "It increases the data types and applies to a broader range of providers, not just ISPs [usually involved in the data gathering for law enforcement purposes] but any 'telecommunications system,' a definition that we don't know how far it goes," she said. In her briefing to the scrutiny committee, she said the broad nature of the bill means the U.K. would be the first country to extend its jurisdiction, creating a reserve power to "require U.K. providers to retain data that authorities could not obtain directly." Yahoo, a member of the Global Network Initiative, has also complained that the bill requires ISPs to generate data types specifically and only for law enforcement, which is "over and above what a provider would generate and retain for their commercial purposes," according to Ascroft.
During the Index on Censorship panel, Ascroft called for "respecting the jurisdiction boundaries using existing mutual legal assistance treaties (MLATs) as opposed to the aggressive assertion of U.K. jurisdiction included in the bill." "Law enforcement tends to see MLAT processes as slow and cumbersome," she noted. Many privacy and press freedom groups fear that such broad powers could encourage other countries, including those under authoritarian regimes, to similarly assert the extension of their own jurisdiction, with a potentially damaging impact on freedom of expression.
It's true that, as Blair said, the rules of the game have changed. But let's make sure new rules in democratic countries do not end up benefiting the enemies of our very own freedoms.

Giove Toppi started his career illustrating novel series, published by Nerbini. When this publisher started publishing comics in 1932, Toppi turned to sequential art as well. He teamed up with Gaetano Vitelli and cooperated on the first issues of Topolino with some unlicensed frontpage stories starring 'Mickey Mouse'. To avoid offense by Disney, the publisher turned to a different-looking mouse called 'Topo Lino' that Toppi drew until 1934, when an official license from Disney was acquired.
Topo Lino (19 August 1933)
At the same time, he was present in Il Piccolo Avventuroso and Il Giornale de Cino e Franco. He was the creator of the first Italian police series, 'Renato Gallo', that appeared in 'La Sfida del Bandito' ('The Challenge of the Bandit') in the 1930s.

Wherever you read about the Kovalchuk contract signing/rejection ("Me? Lou Lamoriello? Employing dubious cap management practices to wriggle through loopholes in the CBA that I had a hand in creating? Never!"), there are references abound to some of the other heavily front-loaded, long-term deals handed out in recent years to other players, that tested the NHL's patience before it finally decided to crack down.
Expanding slightly on the analysis at Behind The Net, the table below (click to expand) summarises the salary progression and resulting cap hit for each of the contracts in perhaps the seven most contentious deals. [Source: capgeek.com]
- The "real" part of each contract is highlighted in yellow, the "dead" money/years in orange. I've slightly arbitrarily chosen salaries under $2m to be the "dead" money, though there's clearly some argument as to where to draw that line in some cases - and the numbers would accordingly look somewhat different.
- Adjusted cap hit (1) represents the total contract value divided by the number of "real" years
- Adjusted cap hit (2) represents only the contract value within the "real" years divided by the same number of years
- In both cases, I've shown the annual cap saving made from structuring the contract how it was compared to either paying the same total value within the shorter "real" term (1) or eliminating the "dead" years entirely (2)
- It's fairly evident that the Kovalchuk deal is pushing the envelope more than its comparables by a number of measures, though clearly $1m of cap savings for one team may well be of more value in a sense than $3m to another team
- Interesting that the Savard deal could be considered as the next most contentious, while acknowledging that the term is shorter than most and whether you regard the $1.5m in Year 5 as "real" or "dead" makes quite a difference in this case
- Of course, the Pronger deal is distinguished from the others by it being classed as an "over-35" contract, meaning
Pronger will be suspended for over 35 games during the lifetime of the contractthe Flyers will be stuck with the cap hit (barring trade) even if Pronger retires before the "dead" years are reached - just as Paul Holmgren intended (ahem)

Many yogis in New York City are grappling with the aftereffects
of another upheaval in their yoga universe. Earlier this month Pure yoga studio
fired popular teacher Marco Rojas in a manner he believes reflects their lack
of adherence to yogic ethics. Pure has dismissed the act as not even very
interesting, but it brings up some valid questions: is teaching yoga just
a job like any other, and should studios be held to the same principles we
expect teachers to exemplify?
Rojas claims that the rift with Pure management began as a
result of his urging them to run their retreats, schedule, and business in a
manner more in alignment with yogic values. "Management thought I was difficult,"
says. "Managers are not yoga practioners." Pure claims that the departure
was mutual and that "what
led us to this moment is much less interesting than where we go from here."

The day he was let go Rojas was called into the office 45
minutes before his class to discuss "communication" issues. There, he was unceremoniously
fired and escorted out the back door. This abrupt departure suggests that it
wasn't exactly a mutual decision. It's also the most upsetting part of the
situation for Rojas who had no time to speak with his students or say good-bye.
Rojas since been able to reach out to his students via Facebook stating, "I did
not agree to leave you. I did not make that decision." He is also
encouraging students to let compassion guide them and is reminding them that
they still have yoga and should continue evolving rather than getting caught up
in petty details.
This situation brings up many questions for us as
practitioners of yoga. As students we can choose not to support studios that
seem concerned with profit above all else. Teachers could also make this
choice, but taking such a strong stand against a studio may mean the difference
between supporting yourself as a yoga teacher and having at least one other
In an ideal world, every yoga studio would exemplify the
values and ethics of yoga. The current reality is that most studios are run
like any other business, and at some point they must consider the bottom line. While
it is admirable and understandable that a yoga teacher would prefer to teach at
a studio that exemplified yogic principles, most people don't expect to keep
their job if they constantly clash with management at their place of work.
So we have another thin, grey line to traverse. At what point do we decide we cannot support
a studio anymore, either as a teacher or a student? As yoga teachers, how can
we stand up for what we believe in without losing our jobs? There are no easy
answers when a practice meant to speed the road to enlightenment is blossoming
in a capitalist culture.
What is an appropriate way for teachers to handle a situation where they disagree with their studio's business practices?
