California Online Privacy Protection Act
CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law's reach stretches well beyond California to require a person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) that operates websites collecting personally identifiable information from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals with whom it is being shared, and to comply with this policy. – See more at: http://consumercal.org/california-online-privacy-protection-act-caloppa/#sthash.0FdRbT51.dpuf

Escapist News Network: The Future of Storage Media
Pages 1 2 3 NEXT
A very interesting installment of GearGasm introduces a 300GB optical disc.
But what if you don't have great tits? Like most people mine are simply average.
Another great episode guys. Consider my sides split.
This is probably one of, if not the, best episode to date. Two smaller feature stories seems to work better. I'm hoping to see more Geargasm in the future, some of your best feature stories have been Geargasm. The Twitter spambot story was also great.
Also, wouldn't we just switch to using harddrives for everything? They're smaller than that huge disk and already hold TBs of data.
Was that a LaserDisc?
Best Episode Yet !!!! Loved the anime,PoP Lego,and Graham's tits jokes and the end bit was hilarious.
Alright loved the Logo talk at the end, as well as the Twitter Spam bot. I was really getting a Jack Black Vibe from that guy in GearGasm for some weird reason
"Clink the link to check out my great tits!"
damn those ads...
How are you people not on public access TV/Comedy Central? I get more fun out of you guys than a stoner in a fractal wallpaper factory. Also the Mafia 2 bit was very well done.
Nice!! this was funny!! I actually laughed, a few times... and who cares if she was a spam-bot she was hot!
Awesome vid - and my tits are, in fact, above average, and I'm male, so hazzah!
I had to pause at that part because I was laughing so hard I couldn't hear the video anymore. XD
The logo is stalking me too now. It was originally on my computer screen and now it's behind me...
Well done all around.
Also, click here my Lord.
lol think they left one out. last time i was checking they were using ultra violet which is a thiner light laser particles than blu rAY.
check it.
Love the "cockiness" of the spokesperson. About right these days.
GearGasm won a 10 % voting interest share in the Interwebs.
Grrrrrrrrrrreat episode. Am now following Heather on twitter.
hey isn't that the same disc that use used for Res. 5 in commodorHUSTLE?
Ash does have great tits.
Dr. Leroy Shelton was amazing. I wanted to punch his nuts into oblivion, that's how great he was.
Of course not! It was a BluRazer disk! Buy now, and get fifty gigs of my great tits!
"... thereby breaking Nintendo's monopoly on crappy motion gimmick games."
Someone had to say it. Good episode.
In other news Japans Economy is crumbling as we speak, lmao
Absolutely loved the two smaller feature stories now there are a few types Quicks picks; gear gasm; jeremy petter has more ect we may get more of it.
also the call back to uber HD made me smile
This is the second time ash has had this kind of attention though most escapies haven't seen 'The divorce'.
Haha my family used to have a Laserdisc player.
Half a movie fit on each side, and that was considered new and good technology.
We had a store near us called Laserland that sold cds, laserdiscs, and rented them too.
Graham's delivery in the credits was brilliant. I was holding back the giggles, then Kathleen started to lose it and I was gone...
Very good episode guys
and it's Ash! have not seen her in a while
At times this is nearly perfect. Well done folks.
I thought we weren't supposed to call people Ash. That's what that one guy says "Don't call me Ash".
On a side note, I vote that Tyrannosaurus Raptors become a weekly feature. Tyrannosaurus Raptors with great tits... and ENN logos over them.
Yeah, it's the T Rex that can't see individuals without movement, velociraptors can.
This was the greatest one yet!
I loved the BluRayzor disk.
They are Pulse L'cie enemies of Cocoon
They will use their L'Cie powers to summon Shiva,Odin and many others
*Graham and Kathleen use Paradigm shift*
Graham is now a sentential
Graham uses provoke while Kathleen uses Thunder to kill "FogttenProdigy*
Battle: duration 00:05:95
Ash in any video is brilliant! Especially with bonus tits-related content.
Also, my added old LG mini hi-fi stereo (which I used to use for PC/360) along with my current Logitech 2.1 bass speakers are now linked together.. This formed unlimited amounts of home theater awesome to ENN's theme song!
Gotta say, I rather liked the "Pulse l'Cie" reference..
Damn "ENN" logos stalking Graham! Mark's full of lies, Graham, he really is a T-Rex!
Haha, I read Graham is "sentimental" there...
Maybe I should stop walking through long corridors fighting not so random monsters.
Really great episode guys and gals, good work. Loved the bit at the end.
And then laser rot hit and it didn't seem as good anymore.

Happy National Frozen Yogurt Day!
Clearly a day that needs to be celebrated, especially when the promise of free yogurt is being thrown my way. 😉
I discovered Yogurtland's National Frozen Yogurt Day freebie happy hour via Facebook (thanks Callie!) and couldn't pass up a chance to score some free frozen yogurt on my way home from the gym.
Surprisingly the place wasn't packed. There were a few families and about as many workers on hand to usher everyone in and out. I asked if there was anything special that needed to be done for the free fro-yo, but was simply instructed to fill my cup up with yogurt as normal, add the toppings, and grab a spoon.
The cups were about half the size as normal ones, which meant they were the perfect size. Why don't self-serve yogurt places carry the smaller size year around? I would be a fan. 🙂
I filled my cup with a mix of yogurts that looked good then topped it all with strawberries, blackberried, chocolate candy pieces and a frosted animal cracker.
The fro-yo made for an excellent snack, and you really can't beat the prize. Happy National Frozen Yogurt Day to me, indeed. 😉
Lunch was a fun combo this afternoon of what we randomly had on hand when we returned from our trip.
I heated up a steam-in-the-bag bag of mixed vegetables that I added to a bed of mixed greens with some canned chickpeas, walnuts, and a homemade dressing. It was a 5 minute lunch that was actually served pretty hot thanks to the steam-in-a-bag veggies.
I did some work at home before heading to the gym in the later portion of the afternoon. It was packed, but I was still able to grab one of the 'good' treadmills to get a run in. I started at 6.5 before moving up to 7.0 and 7.5 for 5-ish minutes at a time. I ended up completing 3 miles ins 26 minutes.
After my run it was time for NROLFW 6B. Today was 4 sets of 4 at a slightly higher weight. I think I've just about maxed out on weight for this stage. I was really struggling pushing and pressing 25lb weights over my head. Burn, baby, burn.
Dinner was one of my favorite post-trip meals: roasted vegetables with pasta sauce.
I roasted sweet potato, parsnip, and brussels sprouts at 415 for 30 minutes then topped the mix with marinara sauce, roasted chicken, fresh mozzarella, and basil.
When ever Derek and I are are in our 'What should we have for dinner? I don't know – what do you want' funks, this meal is always his first suggestion. It's definitely an easy favorite of ours that please both parties.
Good Night!

No crying: "Tears" exhibit is all wet
Michele Leavitt's new environmentally-themed installation, "Tears," purports to have something to do with the Virginia Film Festival's wet theme this year, though the association is peripheral at best. Oh, Leavitt includes a few watery elements here and there, but unfortunately, this thing has more in common with the blunt message-izing of a Sierra Club brochure than with the goofy art-fun of the VFF and its swimming pool screenings.
The installation space for "Tears" has been arranged to look like a living room, complete with carpets, E-Z chairs, a coffee table, and a television set. In one of the chairs, Leavitt has arranged a mannequin fashioned from what looks like newspaper. Her mannequin slouches in the chair, watches television, and snacks from a bowl of bright orange Cheeto-like packing peanuts.
On the television, a video of random clips and jerky, quick-cut images plays along to an electric rhythm track. Obviously, the installation leans pretty heavily on the pro-natural, anti-artificial eco-message. Leavitt's installation inhabitant, literally made from man-made material, seems perfectly happy staring at the television blaring unnatural images, eating unnatural snacks, and lounging in chairs marked in large letters in a classic dystopic fashion with words like "easy," "rest," and "comfort zone."
How sad that he doesn't seem to realize how his artificial his lifestyle is, and how complicit he is in making himself artificial, right?
Actually, not really that sad at all. The mannequin seems to be having a fine time, even if he's being used to convey a pretty tired and not particularly nuanced message. In fact, far from turning hoards of unassuming arts patrons into Green Party members, Leavitt's installation rather makes one feel as if they'd accidentally stepped on to the long lost set for Herbie Hancock's "Rockitt" video.
The rest of it ranges from mild irony (as in the pretty, bright, translucent woods scene and beach scene Leavitt has fashioned from grocery bags, or the translucent packing bags filled with layers of colored trash bits) to straight-up preachiness. The latter comes in works like "Soldier, 1999," which features a silhouette of a soldier overlaid with letters cut from shiny magazine stock.
The message– another empty set of statements, this time of the antiwar variety– ends with a question that, one suspects, Leavitt already has an answer for: "Will his life make a difference when all this is through?"
Leavitt leaves her viewer with two options: 1. assume that she's being serious, in which case one is left with nothing but a bucketfull of unhelpful clichés, or 2. assume that Leavitt is somehow being ironic with her catch phrases– though that is a stretch, considering Leavitt offers no greater context for any apparent irony.
It's a raw deal either way.
"Tears," an instillation by Michele Leavitt runs through December 1 at the University of Virginia Art Museum.

The ability to manipulate the complementary and opposite forces of yin and yang.
Also Called
- Duality/Dualism/Opposites Manipulation
- Yin and Yang/Yin-Yang Manipulation
- Yin-Yang Release
The user has power over yin and yang, the natural dualities of polar opposites or seemingly contrary forces that are interconnected and interdependent in the natural world and how they give rise to each other in turn in relation to each other. With many distinct natural dualities e.g., dark and light, female and male, low and high, cold and hot, water and fire, earth and air—are thought of as manifestations of yin and yang (respectively).
Though described as polar opposites they combine to form a greater whole with almighty effects such as creating anything or all things. Everything has both yin and yang aspects as light could not be understood if darkness didn't exist, and shadow cannot exist without light.
Universal Differences
In other universes electricity manipulation requires the user to be mentally stable with the complete absence of emotions and a peace of mind. But physically it requires separating the energies of yin and yang, also interpreted as positive and negative electric potential respectively. When the yin (negative energy) and yang (positive energy) collide together to become whole again then lightning is created.

- Boundary Manipulation
- Moral Manipulation
- Morality Manipulation
- Negativity Manipulation
- Omnicounter

- Yang Generation

- Yin & Yang Constructs

We are in the business of helping designers and design agencies succeed and grow. This is precisely the reason why we launched the LightCMS Developer Program more than a year ago. The Developer Program enables designers and resellers to focus on what they do best in creating leading-edge websites with a standards-based platform that does not require special programming languages while offloading server maintenance, hosting and upgrades to us.
Sarah Hokuf, the founder of Evolve Creative, a website design and branding agency, likes how LightCMS empowers web designers to showcase their creativtity in building websites with powerful visual impact. But Hokuf has also found that LightCMS also offers great flexibility on the technical development side of site creation. "WordPress developers might see LightCMS as simpler and want more advanced features, but I feel there's nothing you can't do in development with LightCMS," said Hokuf.
Website design trends are constantly evolving, often leaving those responsible for ecommerce either scrambling to keep up or simply resigned to the fact that they're running an outdated site. But keeping the online shopping experience fresh does not require a complex and costly tear-down every year to meet shifting preferences. Following these five design tips will help to create fresh, modern storefronts for your clients that their customers can access anytime, anywhere.
We're very pleased to kick off this week and this month with some very exciting new features. The first of these is a very highly-requested addition that will be a fantastic benefit for LightCMS customers and for our design partners and their clients. Take a look below to check out everything that's new.
We're releasing two new, fully-responsive designs today. As always, these designs are available to be used on any LightCMS website at no extra charge. They are customizable through our built in Design Editor.
Your customers are coming to your website over a myriad of devices, from smartphones to tablets to desktops, and the range will likely grow as smaller devices and different sizes of screens come onto the market. To ensure that all of these devices can get full functionality from your site and that your team isn't wasting time creating multiple versions of your main site to accommodate each device, you need to integrate responsive design techniques into your web design. Responsive web design is a...
Today, we're pleased to announce that we've added ten new, responsive designs to the LightCMS system. As always, these designs are available to be used on any LightCMS website at no extra charge. They are customizable through our built in Design Editor and advanced users can even download their source code to use them as starting points for their own designs.
We're adding another fantastic, mobile-friendly, responsive design to the LightCMS platform. Grasp is our newest addition and it's available free inside your LightCMS account. Check out images and more details below.
Collision Media is a LightCMS Professionals partner based in Nashville, Tenn. who has built its business around the LightCMS content management system to create more than 200 websites (and counting) for clients — many of them churches, ministries and non-profit organizations. Like many web design agencies, Collision Media started out working with open source platforms such as WordPress and Joomla, but quickly realized these systems were incapable of meeting its needs.
If you're like many creative professionals in a design business, you're probably not as focused as you should be on growing your company. You'd rather work on your next great design than call former customers to ask for a referral. But without those calls and referrals, the business won't last long.
We're excited to bring another fantastic, mobile-friendly, responsive design to the LightCMS platform. Origami is our newest addition and it's available at no cost inside your LightCMS account. Check out images and more details below.
Making beautiful, creative websites accessible to everyone is a primary goal of LightCMS. With built-in designs and our easy-to-use design editor, thousands of customers set up fantastic websites on their own. But sometimes our customers are looking for a little something extra, from assistance with the set up process to full-scale custom website design.
This week, we've rolled out a couple new features we'd like to tell you about. One adds functionality to the built-in LightCMS Design Editor and the other adds options for those who code their own designs. Check out the details below.
We're excited to bring another fantastic, mobile-friendly, responsive design to the LightCMS platform. Slate is our newest addition and it's available at no cost inside your LightCMS account. Check out images and more details below.
We've updated three of our freely-available LightCMS designs to comply with our mobile-friendly, responsive approach. Devon-Cornerway, Devon-Poster, and Devon-Verdure have been a part of our system for some time, but they have been completely re-engineered to offer a fully-responsive design experience that adjusts dynamically and looks great on any device from smartphones to tablets to high-resolution displays. Check out the designs in the screenshots below.
This week, we're adding two new mobile-friendly, responsive designs to the LightCMS platform plus a nice little feature on the LightCMS store. Check out the designs and the details below. Two New Designs Spread and Vanity are the names of two new designs now available inside your LightCMS account (see screenshots above).
As we mentioned last week, we have plans to bring several new designs to the LightCMS platform over the coming months, and our focus with all of these designs will be on responsive, mobile-friendly layouts. Today we're adding three of these new designs to the platform and making them freely available for anyone to use. They are known as Great-Air, Great-Goods, and Great-Scape.
That's right, this week is so hot we're rolling out two great updates in just a few days. Monday, we told you about the new ESC Hotkey and today we're excited to introduce you to LightCMS's new mobile-friendly default template, now with a fully responsive design optimized for display on iPad, iPhone, Android and more. The New, Responsive Haus Template Haus has been the default design for LightCMS for about six months, and today we're giving it a significant upgrade.
Another sizzling-hot week, another sizzling-hot feature. That's how we roll with the Summer of Love. This week, we've got some new goodies for those of you who like to code and tweak and tinker with your own designs on LightCMS.
As you may know, we run our own online store where we sell a selection of T-shirts we've created over the years. This store naturally runs on the LightCMS platform which gives us another great opportunity to use our own software in a real-world setting. We recently decided it was time to redesign the store website.
Yesterday, we rolled out the last major piece of the LightCMS Design Editor — background image editing. We began phasing in the Design Editor a couple of months ago and this update marks the last phase of that rollout. For a refresher on the Design Editor itself, check out our previous announcement of the Design Editor.
Another phase of our design area enhancement is rolling out this week. The Developer Role will allow LightCMS account owners to grant design-management capabilities to other users of their website. Businesses and organizations will be able to allow multiple staff members to have access to design controls.
We're continuing the roll out of design changes we began last month with a complete overhaul of the LightCMS Design Section. This release presents a stunning user interface that makes managing your designs so much easier. The update paves the way for the new Developer Role (coming soon) which will permit account owners to allow users of their choosing to access the Design Section controls.
Today, I want to take a closer look at the new LightCMS Design Editor, which we began rolling out last week. The Design Editor offers the opportunity to make changes to the design of a LightCMS website without editing any code. The Design Editor works out of the box with all of LightCMS's built-in designs.
Alongside the roll out of our new Design Editor, we've also launched a new version of the LightCMS website. We're very exited about the new site, which represents yet another big step forward for LightCMS's brand and marketing. Of course, you may be reading this post on the new LightCMS website and, if so, you've already seen this new design, but if not, you can take a look at it in the screenshot below and at www.lightcms.com. Though much of our content remains the same in this version, i...
Today, we're excited to announce a groundbreaking new addition to LightCMS — the new Design Editor. This new tool makes design customization accessible to everyone, even to web novices, with a what-you-see-is-what-you-get editing interface anyone can use. Using the new design editor, you can easily modify and customize any of our built-in website designs with simple to use tools.
LightCMS offers a huge selection of freely available designs that are ready to use and can be applied to your LightCMS website with a click. You can also download the source files for these designs to use as starting points for your own work. To see all of our freely available designs, check out our design viewer.
As we've discussed in the past, it can sometimes be advantageous to base new designs on existing designs or themes. Naturally, this is a less time intensive approach than fully custom design and, as a result, it can allow designers to offer lower-priced services to companies or organizations who may not be able to afford fully-custom options. And while most would prefer completely custom work, good results can still be achieved when talented designers customize existing, quality designs.

Into The Vintage Emporium we went and were delighted to find Amanda of Shabby Chick fame has a section of her goodies for sale there (she is more usually found at Totnes' Friday market). I couldn't resist a few bits, Amanda!
There are attractive displays throughout the shop and a little corner with a sewing machine for a spot of nifty crafting when time and customers permit, I suspect. I was taken with this dinky toy machine.
It seems she has herself a new shopkeeper!

Truth and fiction have had quite the volatile relationship. Most people can agree that fiction is neither true nor false, but rather somewhere in between those two. Fiction is true in the world it creates (unless, of course, the narrator or characters lie to you, but such a statement is only meaningful if the literary world has its own truth values).
In a traditional linear narrative, it is typically not too difficult to decide what the truth statements of the world would be. For example, in the Disney rendition of Cinderella:
- The Stepmother is mean.
- The stepsisters are mean.
- Cinderella is good.
- Cinderella is beautiful.
- The prince is not bad.
- The coach is an altered pumpkin.
The list could go on and on. But what about a story that has multiple endings or multiple possible narrative experiences? I've been looking at Alabaster, a multi-authored piece by Emily Short and others. [Spoilers will follow, so go play it quick!]. More

The European Union slapped new sanctions on the Syrian regime on Monday, a gesture of further international pressure on President Bashar al-Assad amid widespread pessimism over UN envoy Kofi Annan's peace plan.
The United Nations Security Council on Saturday authorized the deployment of up to 300 unarmed military observers to monitor a tenuous cease-fire in Syria that formally came into effect on April 12 as part of the Annan plan. But violence has continued since then and US officials have hinted that a failure by the Assad regime to honor the six-point Annan plan could lead to UN sanctions being imposed even before the expiry of a 90-day deadline for its implementation.
Yet given international divisions over how to address the crisis in Syria, as well as doubts about the viability of the Annan plan, the question remains: If the peace plan founders, what's next?
"No one here [in Washington] thinks the Annan plan is going to work," says Andrew Tabler, a Syria expert with The Washington Institute for Near East Policy. "This plan does not deal with the disease itself. The disease is very simple. You have a minority-dominated regime that is not about to give up power, that has a 42-year record of not being able to reform, ruling over an opposition carved out of one of the youngest populations in the Middle East outside the Palestinian territories. It's just a storm."
The Obama administration, increasingly convinced that the situation is likely to deteriorate – with potentially dire consequences for regional security – is steering toward a more assertive action on Syria. That shift could encourage other countries who have been awaiting a US lead to play a more direct role in supporting the Syrian opposition.
Details of the Annan plan
Annan's plan includes calls for a cease-fire from both sides, the delivery of humanitarian aid, a Syrian-led process to address opposition demands, the release of political detainees, allowing foreign reporters into the country, and permitting peaceful demonstrations.
Although the Syrian regime accepted the Annan plan, the violence has persisted, albeit at a lower rate from before. The UN says more than 9,000 people have died in Syria since the uprising began in March 2011.
The Syrian National Council, the main opposition body, welcomed the UN observer mission, saying that more monitors must be deployed so that "their presence allows the civilian population to reassert its right to peaceful demonstration."
However, that is the outcome that the Syrian authorities fear the most. If Syrian security forces and heavy armor are withdrawn from cities, the opposition protesters emboldened by the presence of UN observers could resume anti-regime demonstrations with even greater vigor than the initial protests a year ago. If those demonstrations were to spread unchecked to the centers of Damascus and Aleppo, Syria's two largest cities, the Assad regime would face a very grave situation.
On the other hand, the Syrian opposition is uninterested in another component of Annan's plan that calls for dialogue with the Syrian authorities. As far as the opposition is concerned, negotiations with the regime are futile unless they are restricted to discussing a speedy end to Assad's rule, a condition that the Syrian leadership would reject.
"There's no point in talks with the regime. We have nothing to talk about. We want Assad gone. That's it," says Ahmad, a Syrian activist living in hiding in north Lebanon.
Potentially more complex than Iraq
Although the Annan plan is still in the early stages of implementation, the pessimism that surrounds it has left policy planners in the US and Europe mulling alternative options should it fail in the weeks ahead. The administration of President Obama has limited its actions toward Syria to rhetoric and sanctions, evidently reluctant to be drawn back into the Middle East only months after ending its military involvement with Iraq and while in the process of drawing down in Afghanistan.
Certainly, Syria, a seething cauldron of sectarian and ethnic turmoil and an emerging new regional battleground, is potentially even more complex and dangerous than Iraq.
According to Randa Slim, a Washington-based scholar at the Middle East Institute and an adjunct research fellow at the New America Foundation specializing in Syrian affairs, the conflict in Syria has three components:
- an existential struggle between the Assad regime dominated by the minority Alawite sect and a lightly-armed, mainly Sunni opposition
- a regional power struggle between Iran, an ally of the Syrian regime, and Saudi Arabia, the dominant Sunni Arab power
- an international test of wills between the US and Russia and China, both of which back the Assad regime.
"If the current state of play at any of these levels is not altered significantly, the current stalemate can endure for some time," Ms. Slim says. "In the meantime, sectarian polarization will deepen and the country will keep its descent toward what is becoming an inevitable scenario: a sectarian war pitting Alawites against Sunnis with potential spillover into neighboring countries."
Obama administration's shift
According to political and diplomatic sources in the Middle East and Washington, the Obama administration in recent weeks has come to the the conclusion that the Syria crisis is not going to fizzle out but probably worsen, with serious ramifications for regional security.
"A direct US military intervention does not seem to be there right now," says Mr. Tabler of the Washington Institute. "But ironically, Assad's actions have spurred the US into thinking along those terms."
As such, the Obama administration is reviewing its policies toward Syria. Derek Chollet, the senior director for strategic planning at the National Security Council who helped shape Libya policy last year, reportedly has been appointed head of the interagency Syria policy team. He replaces Steve Simon, the NSC senior director for the Middle East and North Africa, who will remain on the team.
Furthermore, Robert Ford, the former US ambassador to Damascus, who won praise in Washington for his outspoken criticism of the Assad regime's crackdown on protestors before his recall in October when the Obama administration closed the embassy, has been given a greater role on the Syria policy team.
Washington for now has ruled out providing weapons and ammunition to the military units comprising the rebel Free Syrian Army, but US officials say that aid is being delivered to the civilian political opposition.
"We're going to be pushing some pretty significant non-lethal assistance to the unarmed opposition," says one US official involved with Syria policy. "Things are actually starting to move."
Other countries may follow suit
If the US is seen as playing a stronger role in supporting the Syrian opposition it could encourage other countries, in particular Turkey and some Gulf states opposed to the Assad regime, to follow suit, analysts say.
Saudi Arabia and Qatar are believed to have been providing funds to some armed opposition groups and the Saudi foreign minister has openly advocated sending weapons to the ill-equipped and poorly armed FSA. But there are no indications that the FSA has received fresh supplies of armaments and it appears to be still dependent on a trickle of weapons smuggled into the country or raiding military arsenals.
Even if arms are dispatched into Syria along with non-lethal equipment such as communications and night-vision goggles, it may not prove enough to tip the balance in the opposition's favor.
"The case is not made yet whether arming the opposition by itself will be enough to alter the power imbalance between the regime and the rebels in favor of the latter," says Slim of the Middle East Institute. "It is likely that in order to redress the imbalance, a military intervention to create safe zones will be necessary in addition to arming the opposition."

An investors group says the insurance industry needs to better prepare for coming shifts in the earth's climate.
The critique came in a report released Thursday by Ceres, a Boston-based coalition of institutional investors that advocate for environmentally sustainable practices.
Ceres analyzed 184 insurance companies' responses to a survey last year required by insurance regulators in California, New York and Washington. The survey asked insurers to disclose their climate-related risks.
Ceres concluded that insurers are ill prepared for climate change, and that the economy will suffer as a result.
The report is critical of what is views as insurers' reluctance to connect the increased frequency of hurricanes and other weather catastrophes to a changing climate. It targets insurers' investments in businesses that contribute greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, and it criticizes a wide range of other practices.
The criticism was of all insurers — not just the property-casualty insurers that pay billions of dollars in claims each year because of hurricanes and other catastrophes. Life insurers and health insurers also should have a climate strategy, the Ceres report said.
"While companies recognize the potential for investment losses in carbon-intensive industries under future carbon regulatory regimes, no insurers describe screening out carbon-intensive businesses," wrote the report's authors, Sharlene Leurig and Andrew Dlugolecki.
In response, a property-casualty insurance trade group said insurers are meeting their commitments to policyholders.
"The insurance industry continues to enhance their underwriting, preparedness and management of catastrophic risk, including those affected by changing climatic conditions," said David Kodama, senior director of research and policy analysis with the Property Casualty Insurers Association of America.
Latest Business
"Hurricane Sandy and the severe winter storm systems that have devastated the Northeast are recent examples of the resilience of this industry in meeting its obligations and commitments to policyholders," Kodama said..
Robert Hartwig, president of the industry-funded Insurance Information Institute, said property-casualty insurers have advocated for stronger zoning regulations and codes to reduce the likelihood that a catastrophe will damage buildings.
The Ceres report did commend Aetna, The Travelers Cos., UnitedHealth Group, ING and FM Global for making strides to reduce their emissions of greenhouse gases. It also commended The Hartford Financial Services Group as a leading insurer for its policy on climate change with respect to raising capital, business-to-business activity, retail sales, recruitment and other factors.
The Hartford's spokesman, Thomas Hambrick, said: "The Hartford has been a leading insurance company in recognizing that climate change is a very real risk, not only to insurance companies but to our policyholders, businesses and the overall economy. We are committed to understanding, managing and mitigating the risks associated with global climate change."

Alex Rogers wins mile at Alex Wilson Invitational
The Longhorns came away with a victory at the Alex Wilson Invitational on Saturday following a personal record set by Rogers in the mile run.
The sophomore distance runner won the event with a time of 4:02.54, which now ranks 11th in school history.
"Alex had a good day with a PR indoors," distance coach Brad Herbster said. "He just missed cracking the all-time top 10 list at Texas and is running well heading into the Big 12 Championships next week."
Texas sent a small distance crew to Notre Dame, Indiana, chasing fast times to qualify for nationals. Herbster elected to pull his distance medley relay team to rest them for the conference championships.
Coming off her record-breaking performance last weekend, senior Mary Beth Hamilton was unable to improve her time in the mile, but did take eighth place with a time of 4:44.15.
"The women's mile was a great race that was set up really well, but unfortunately, Mary Beth was inside the group a bit too long," Herbster said. "I think that just took its toll on her late when she tried to make her push."
The Longhorns now focus on sustaining strong times heading into next week. The Big 12 Conference Indoor Championships begin on Feb. 24 in Ames, Iowa.

Congressional negotiators looking to hammer out a bipartisan border security spending deal and prevent another government shutdown at the end of next week are reportedly closing in on their goal.
"We're 95 to 98 percent done," Senator Patrick Leahy of Vermont, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Appropriations Committee, said, according to The New York Times.
The deal being finalized could provide between $1.3 billion and about $2 billion for border security, the Times says — far less than the $5.7 billion President Trump has been seeking for construction of some 230 miles of wall on the southern border, and less than the $2.5 billion the president publicly shot down after Vice President Mike Pence floated it in December.
"Talk of a wall has given way to 'bollard fencing' and strategic placements," the Times' Emily Cochrane and Annie Karni report.
Trump has reportedly indicated he'd accept a deal around $2 billion, and members of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, which had earlier pushed the president to take a hard line on wall funding and the shutdown, "indicated that any number even slightly above $2 billion would satisfy them for now," the Cochrane and Karni say.
But Democrats are still pushing back on the number, and it's unclear how much of the money would go toward barriers. "We will not agree to $2 billion in funding for barriers," said a spokesman for House Appropriations Chairwoman Nita Lowey (D-NY).
There are other issues to be ironed out, too, according to the Times:
"[N]egotiators remain far apart on detention beds under the control of Immigration and Customs Enforcement to house families detained at the border with Mexico. Funds currently allocated are enough for 40,520 detention beds. Democrats asked to limit the number of beds to 35,520 for the remainder of the fiscal year and increase funds for other alternatives to the practice of family detention. Republicans want substantially more beds."
Whatever the details of the final deal, it's clear the president won't be getting close to the $5.7 billion he's sought. Will he sign off anyway?
Politico noted that the White House is "increasingly aware that the president is trapped," given that Republicans have no desire for another government shutdown and have cautioned Trump against declaring a national emergency to get the funding he wants. That leaves Trump with few options.
The bottom line: At this stage, at least, it appears likely that he'll accept whatever bipartisan compromise the conference committee reaches, even if it falls well short of his demands — and then potentially pursue more wall funding via executive action that stops short of declaring a national emergency.
With Trump, though, nothing is final until it's final — and even then, he may change his mind or otherwise scuttle a deal. He's scheduled to speak at his first campaign rally of the year on Monday night in El Paso, Texas. The Washington Post's Erica Werner reports that the planned appearance has raised concerns from some congressional aides that Trump "could veer back to rhetoric on the wall that could throw any deal they reach into question."
Why it matters: A compromise deal would end the months-long uncertainty over federal funding and, potentially, cool some of the conflict over Trump's border wall, even if it doesn't resolve the issue. But it also could have broader significance for the Trump presidency, The Washington Post's Jennifer Rubin suggests, marking him as a lame duck: "A week from now, [House Speaker Nancy] Pelosi most likely will be able to point to a Democratic victory on the single most important issue for Trump and his base. If he isn't getting the wall, he's not getting anything else on his wish list that requires legislative approval."

With the clock ticking to avoid a government shutdown on Saturday, House Republicans are pushing a stopgap measure that would keep the lights on for four more weeks and buy time for contentious negotiations on immigration and federal funding to continue.
The bill would continue federal funding at current levels through February 16, extend the Children's Health Insurance Program for six years, delay the implementation of a few Obamacare taxes for a year or two and allow the Defense Department to fund missile defense enhancements.
But as lawmakers look to maximize their leverage in the two days before the shutdown deadline, it's not clear yet whether the new plan will have enough support from Republicans or Democrats to clear the House and Senate. House Republicans were looking to line up backing on Wednesday before a possible vote on Thursday, but House Speaker Paul Ryan finds himself in a spot that would look familiar to former Speaker John Boehner: stuck deciding whether to find the votes he needs from the right flank of his own party or Democrats pursuing their own agenda.
The CHIP Bargaining Chip
Some Democrats have vowed to oppose any spending bill that doesn't include protection for immigrants who came to the United States illegally as children. But it could be difficult — and politically perilous — them to vote against funding health care for nearly 9 million children. Democrats have been pushing for CHIP funding for months, though many would prefer a 10-year extension, especially in light of a recent CBO report that says a 10-year term would actually save the government money. Republicans are betting that Democrats will see CHIP funding as attractive enough to vote for another short-term deal. And they're daring Democrats to vote no.
"I find it difficult to believe that my Democratic colleagues would want to shut down the government for American citizens and vote down a six-year reauthorization of health insurance for American children all over illegal immigration," Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said.
Squeezed from the Right
But as they look to exert some pressure on Democrats, Republicans leaders are once again being squeezed by the far right wing of their own party.
Members of the House Freedom Caucus are pushing for a floor vote on a conservative immigration bill in exchange for backing the short-term funding measure, according to The Hill. "If some Freedom Caucus members band together with enough defense hawks, they could tank GOP leadership's strategy to avert a government shutdown, though it's unclear whether there are enough of them willing to do so," The Hill's Melanie Zanona writes.
Adding to the uncertainty, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said Wednesday that he won't support another short-term spending bill, meaning that Republicans will need at least 10 Democratic votes for the funding bill to pass in the Senate. Eighteen Senate Democrats voted for a current continuing resolution last month, and 10 Senate Democrats are up for re-election this year in states that President Trump won in 2016.
The bottom line: We're still closer to a shutdown than we have been at any point since 2013, but if Ryan can round up 218 votes in the House, it's probably safe to mark February 16 on your calendar as the next big deadline. We'll likely find out Thursday.

Today's Xbox One reveal brought with it our first look at Call Of Duty Ghosts. As a long time fan of the series I must admit I'm intrigued by the shooter's arrival on next generation consoles. While only a small glimpse was given, it appears as if the campaign will attempt to do something COD hasn't done in years, offer up a touching story complete with characters we will care about. To help pull off this feat, Infinity Ward hired Oscar-winning screenplay writer Stephen Gaghan to pen the Call Of Duty Ghosts script.
Infinity Ward designed a new engine for COD Ghosts which will be a launch title for Xbox One and much to my dismay will continue the timed exclusive tradition of DLC first on Microsoft's consoles. I guess we'll have to wait for E3 to find out what role COD Ghosts will play on Sony's rival console, the PS4.
There's a new A.I. system that will show up in everything from enemies to the fish that swim by you during underwater scenes. Dogs will take on a new role in Ghosts and act as a an integral part of your team and were modeled after real life dogs. I seriously hope Infinity Ward and Stephen Gaghan do not use the dogs for emotional leverage. I have built up enough guilt through the years having to kill several dogs called in from enemy killstreaks. I do not need my virtual pet and brother in arms to die for the sole purpose of pulling my heart-strings.
Multiplayer was not today's main focus but we did learn that COD Ghosts maps will be "dynamic" including earthquakes, floods and player-triggered traps which will offer unique multiplayer experiences.
Far too little information was given today for me to form any kind of solid opinion on COD Ghosts. I'm excited to see what the new generation brings to a franchise I've been playing for nearly 10 years. Yet I'm also pessimistic that the COD franchise has what it takes to lead the FPS genre onto bigger and better things.
Here's the official trailer released today and be sure to stay tuned to Don't Hate The Geek for all things Call Of Duty.

Critical death ship recordings deleted, court told
AUDIO recordings on board the so-called "death ship" where three crew members died or disappeared within six weeks were most likely deliberately deleted, a coronial inquest has been told.
And the shipping company's executive director failed to tell Japanese authorities there could be a link between the fatalities.
The Sydney inquest into chief cook Cesar Llanto's disappearance and the death of chief engineer Hector Collado on one of the world's largest coal ships, Sage Sagittarius, has heard it was "very likely" crucial audio recordings from the ship's voyage data recorder had been tampered with or deleted.
Mr Llanto, 42, disappeared overboard off Cairns on August 30, 2012.
Mr Collado, 55, died a fortnight later after plummeting 12 storeys down an engineering shaft when the ship was moored at the Port of Newcastle.
Superintendent Kosaku Monji, whose death is not being investigated, was sent to the ship to calm down the terrified crew.
But all the crew except one flew back to their respective homes before Australian Federal Police and NSW Police officers could learn much through interviews.
Mr Monji began his own internal audit of the deaths, but it was cut short when his body was found crushed and mangled in a conveyor belt on October 6 when the ship was in Japan - outside the NSW Coroner's jurisdiction.
The three men died or disappeared within a 37-day period.
Despite the possible links, Japanese Coast Guard and Japanese Transport Safety Board investigating Mr Monji's death were not told of the other two men.
The shipping company's executive director Shigeto Yoshimura appeared before the Coroner via video link from Japan, with a court-appointed interpreter translating from the courtroom.
"I don't think there is any sort of relationship amongst these three deaths," Mr Yoshimura said.
Counsel assisting the Coroner Phillip Strickland asked if it was up to the investigating bodies to decide whether possible links were relevant, not Mr Yoshimura.
"Is it the case that you didn't want the Japanese Coast Guard or the Japanese Transport Safety Board to know about the disappearance of the chief cook and the death of the chief engineer?" Mr Strickland asked.
Mr Yoshimura conceded he did not report the other deaths "probably because I did not want to delay the operation of the ship".
The inquest, which has been running since 2014, had already heard the ship's captain, Venancio Salas, had been accused of bullying and physically assaulting the crew and illegally selling guns.
Mark Sanders, who spent 23 years in the navy and specialises in voyage data recorders, testified he believed audio recordings from the days Mr Collado and Mr Llanto died had been deliberately deleted.

Ancient Greeks and Circus Freaks
This album entered a new world for the IML. By opting for two themes at once we stood the chance of getting completely mixed up but oddly there turned out to be lots of consistency. We knitted the tracks together with a short story for the first time (though there was a beautiful spoken word track on Superheroes of the Sea). This album contains some of the heaviest and some of the most sensitive moments from the group yet.

Revision as of 05:03, 20 April 2011
This document describes the coding conventions used by the RAP project.
Note: These conventions affect only code created by the RAP project. RAP reuses a lot of code from RCP (currently by copying that code) - this code is not re-formatted.
We follow the Sun conventions for the Java language: http://java.sun.com/docs/codeconv/html/CodeConvTOC.doc.html (Note that this includes braces around if, while and for constructs even if their 'then'-clause or body has only one line; see section 7.4 of the conventions.) Apart from that, the following rules are mandatory:
- 1 General rules for text files
- 2 Java code
- 3 Formatter and Code Template Settings
General rules for text files
Unix newlines
Text files must use only Unix line delimiters (
If files contain non-ASCII characters, they have to be UTF-8 encoded.
No TABs
We use spaces only to indent. TAB characters are forbidden in RAP source files.
100 chars per line
We just decided to extend the line length from 80 to 100 characters. This is a hard limit.
Java code
Spaces inside braces
Insert a space after opening braces and before closing braces. Examples:
if( value == array[ i ] ) { someMethod( arg1, arg2 ); }
while( count <= maxNumber ) { ...
Linebreak before operators
If lines are broken at an operator, the operator must be on the next line, and the next line is indented once. There must be no naked operators at the end of a line. Example:
String message = "Long text that does not fit on a " + "single line...";
Speaking names
Use speaking names for variables, methods and classes. One letter names are only allowed as loop variables in loops.
No parameter assignments
Method parameters must never be overwritten by an assignment.
No multiple returns
A method must not have more than one return statement. For example, instead of:
public boolean isReady() { if( processor != null ) { return processor.isInitialized(); // BAD } return false; }
write this:
public boolean isReady() { boolean result = false; if( processor != null ) { result = processor.isInitialized(); } return result; }
No dirty exit
It is not allowed to exit a loop using
break or
return statements.
For example, this code:
for( int i = 0; i < values.length; i++ ) { if( values[ i ] == wanted ) { found = true; break; // BAD } }
can also be written without the
for( int i = 0; i < values.length && !found; i++ ) { if( values[ i ] == wanted ) { found = true; } }
Initialize in constructor
Fields should be initialized in the constructor, not in the declaration statement.
One thing per line
In general, do one thing in one line. For example, don't write
int count = 0, line = 1; // BAD
but instead:
int count = 0; int line = 1;
No misused
for loops
for loops only if there is a known number of iterations in the loop, otherwise use
while loops.
Particularly, don't use
for loops to iterate over a list iterator.
@since Tags
All public API must be marked with a
@since tag at the class/interface level. Only methods, fields etc. that are added in a later release cycle must carry their own
@since tag. The version number denotes the release version in which the element was/will be published the first time.
No empty lines
In general, empty lines in methods are not permitted. The desire to separate blocks with empty lines is often a sign for too long methods. Extract them into methods of their own.
One exception are test methods. To visually emphasize the set up - execute - assert structure it is permitted to separate these with empty lines like in the example below:
public void testFoo() { Foo foo = new Foo() boolean actual = foo.bar(); assertTrue( actual ); }
Formatter and Code Template Settings
All relevant projects are configured with project-specific settings to use the formatter and code templates that are used by the RAP team.
Note: This formatter isn't able to cover all style conventions we use, but it helps to get started. We recommend not to run the formatter on the entire file, but to select a region of code to format. When you press Ctrl-Shift-F in the Java Editor while a section (e.g. a method) is selected, only this section will be formatted.
