Cross-Border Privacy LawsThe Recorder 2013-02-15 11:23:34.0 The sweeping effects of globalization continue to transform the economic fortunes of organizations. Companies that were previously content to limit their business operations to the United States are now branching into international markets in an effort to increase their revenues. As clients push into far-reaching markets, they frequently encounter a complex set of international data protection and privacy laws. These laws present a novel challenge to American companies, which enjoy fewer domestic restraints on collecting and storing personal data of employees and consumers. The ability to comply with these laws could be the difference between seizing business opportunities or drowning the enterprise in attorney fees, legal minutiae and lost opportunities. Data Privacy in the U.S.Data privacy laws are not alien concepts to American corporations. Contrary to popular belief, laws do exist in the U.S. to help protect certain personal and financial information from unauthorized disclosure. At the federal level, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, or GLBA, requires certain financial institutions to implement appropriate safeguards to protect consumers' confidential information. Other federal safeguards include the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, more commonly known as the Stored Communications Act. The SCA generally protects individuals from the unauthorized disclosure of their emails, social networking posts or other electronic communications by third-party providers. At the state level, California has implemented an analogue to the GLBA, which restricts financial institutions from sharing or selling "nonpublic personal information" about a consumer without first obtaining her consent. Moreover, a majority of states have enacted breach notification laws, which require organizations to notify consumers when their personal information is compromised. Data Privacy in EuropeDespite the existence of these and other laws, the approach to data privacy in the U.S. is mostly patchwork and is unmatched by the comprehensive approach taken in some other regions. For example, the data protection regime adopted by the European Union presents unique challenges to even the most sophisticated organizations. Developed to address the abuses of 20th century despotism, the EU system emphasizes the importance of securing personal information from unreasonable government and corporate intrusions. To guard against such intrusions, the EU member states have enacted laws that curtail unlimited processing, collection and storage of this data. Those laws prevent organizations from processing personal information unless it is done for a lawful purpose and it is not excessive. Furthermore, personal data may not be maintained longer than is necessary and must be properly secured. To safeguard the privacy rights of individuals, "personal information" is broadly construed to include any information that could be used to identify a person, such as the details accompanying an email. Moreover, the collection of sensitive personal data such as race, ethnicity, political beliefs and the like are generally proscribed unless consent is obtained from the data subject. Beyond these basic data protection principles, certain countries in Europe provide additional safeguards. In Germany, for instance, state governments have implemented their own data privacy provisions that are exclusive of, and in the case of Schleswig-Holstein, more exacting than the federal protection framework. Furthermore, corporate data processing in Germany and certain other European nations must satisfy company works councils, which represent the interests of employees and protect their privacy rights. Personal Information in Cross-Border LitigationAnother area of complexity facing organizations with respect to the governance of personal information concerns the treatment of that data in European and cross-border litigation. In domestic European litigation, personal data could be subject to discovery if it supports the claims of the parties or a court requires its disclosure. That could place an organization in the difficult position of having to produce personal data that may very well be protected by privacy laws. While legal exceptions do exist for these situations, the person whose data is subject to disclosure may nonetheless seek to prevent its dissemination on privacy grounds. Furthermore, company works councils and data protection officers may also object to these disclosures. Additional difficulty may arise when addressing international discovery requests that seek personal information. Enterprises whose European offices receive such requests must ensure that the country where the data will be transferred has enacted laws that meet EU data protection standards. Transfers of personal data to countries that do not meet those standards are generally proscribed, with substantial fines imposed for noncompliance. Certain countries have more stringent rules regarding proposed transfers of personal information. In Italy, for example, personal data transfers are typically prohibited unless consent is obtained from the data subject or the transfer is authorized by the Italian data protection authority, Garante per la protezione dei dati personali. In France, such transfers must satisfy the rules promulgated by the French data protection authority, the Commission nationale de l'informatique et des libertès, or CNIL. Those rules require that the CNIL and the data subjects be notified regarding the proposed data transfer. In addition, disclosures must be limited to relevant information, with appropriate redactions of data that could be used to identify the data subjects. Despite these and others restrictions imposed by European data protection authorities, organizations are often compelled by U.S. courts to produce personal information without regard to these laws. Acquiescence with a U.S. court order could invite fines and even imprisonment in Europe for violating data protection laws. Yet noncompliance with that order could result in U.S. court sanctions. This scenario presents a difficult dilemma for enterprises stuck in the middle of a cross-border tug-of-war. Best Practices for Addressing Data Privacy LawsThe first step organizations and their counsel can take to ensuring compliance with data privacy laws is to obtain a better understanding of those laws. U.S. companies operating abroad need to know what privacy laws affect their overseas operations and how to develop a comprehensive strategy to comply with litigation discovery demands that does not run afoul of such laws. This may very well require the engagement of counsel to provide relevant legal advice. With an understanding of the applicable privacy landscape, companies and their counsel should consider developing a cooperative, proactive approach to managing their information. Such an approach will typically require a corporation's legal and IT departments to work together on myriad legal and logistical issues surrounding information retention. Legal and IT should also develop a process for how the enterprise will address data preservation and production during litigation. Where applicable, works councils and data protection officers should be involved in the process to ensure that data protection laws are properly observed and employee privacy rights are safeguarded. Companies should also consider the use of enabling technologies to meet company information retention goals while observing data privacy laws. Archiving software, data loss prevention functionality and e-discovery tools are all examples of technologies that together provide the means to protect personal information processed in connection with an organization's information governance strategy. By following these steps, companies will be better prepared for the challenges of complying with cross-border data privacy laws and the legal traps that are inextricably intertwined with globalization. Philip Favro serves as discovery counsel for Symantec Corp. He is a speaker, author, blogger and consultant on the challenges that electronic data have imposed on information retention and e-discovery practices and how to address those challenges in legal matters.

Hasn't done that.
Can -- down here with us from the Army Corps of Engineers and that -- working on these -- for.
Seven years and bush and before that many decades -- what's that they can.
But they with the big differences are big differences prior to Katrina -- we -- -- a system in name only we did have a system.
Since then congress two administrations have followed up with the funding given us all the -- we need -- front -- we've been able to make great strides in a short period types of systems ready to defend.
Against a hundred -- storm now this is -- hundred years -- -- so what we're really looking at this time as the number of different things and and especially fighting the rain event -- what you mentioned.
You know earlier the rain event itself you mentioned -- to -- some -- -- -- -- that we -- last time.
Different situation this time that we have and each one of our helpful canals where this city pledge -- explain it city pumps or water into the outlook canals.
Before it just naturally gravity when and the like concentrate where water could have been there.
We've put three.
Basically gates at -- of those -- -- -- how we can propagate to pump out.
So we can keep up with the city of the water out and it also stops that storm surge -- How we're talking about the possibility of 1520 inches of water over 36 hours in the -- handle that in the -- it -- after the -- stick it yeah absolutely what you'll do is we have people embedded with the city and we have people that are -- our pump stations.
Will work both of them together in Tampa make sure we have everything going.
We also the world's largest pump station down in.
-- plaque and is now.
That thing can pop some story Phillips roomful of assessment of what we're seconds so we have we -- the public Olympic size swimming pool -- for second shot.
Yes he edited -- time where I've been down -- cause plaque and it just got beat L last time and this was part of a solution for black.
Absolutely let me -- the other thing that's kind of cool about -- -- to talk to the relationships.
That we built since Katrina and everybody trying to work together we have to close 23 last night's start working on closure 23.
President and gestured at one believe any of the folks it's really none gusted at the parish president thank you for -- -- debt itself.
The idea was how we gonna get those people that want to stay -- at the last minute.
So we're able to actually close it and then right now working on -- -- in and out of there so those -- just keep coming never seen a quarter to score.
But you know I don't think I have different mindset would like an episode of Walking Dead and it kinda doesn't mean -- like he expects hobbies at any point but yet.
No I've never seen is terrific -- it came up.
Commissioner visitor bureau president here in the building and -- stand here and -- -- over Algiers which would be closer options that she has never seen anything like it's.
I really haven't either I think this is the -- hurricane covered here since the late eighties.
And most of we're category ones and don't do much and people just party right through them -- not happen -- that employees have gone home.
I think what's happened this too is the mayor people who listened to -- -- When he says the new mayor this time a note no more mayor Nagin now -- -- inland through that everybody know.
Right and he's he's had a very very aggressive campaign would get out talking to people -- not explain what what they needed you probably need to prepare.
I heard him -- is.
-- -- -- -- -- Talked about if you the other day at a press conference if -- -- in -- electricity.
This might be a good time to evacuate because you might need to be someplace where you have electricity -- dialysis or something like there might be due to leave but.
People listen over the people that that don't feel comfortable left.
But I think a lot of it would just hunker down a place.
Think there's there's there's the hurt -- partisan house this -- skins must thank you.

Hi Bill O'Reilly thanks for watching us tonight President Obama talk and race and class in a very provocative way.
Will that be an issue in tonight's debate.
That is -- subject of this evening's talking points memo.
The conservative daily caller web site release the full tape of then Senator Obama speaking to a group of black ministers at Hampton university in Virginia back in 2007.
Playing to that crowd mr.
Obama brought up unfairness in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.
He cited the Stafford act which requires areas that receive federal assistance to pay 10% of what they use however.
When Florida was hit by hurricane Andrew in New York City by the terror attack on 9/11 the Stafford act was way.
But -- New Orleans after Katrina President Bush -- the act for just sixty days angering mr.
Obama and others.
-- 9/11 happened.
-- New York for the an -- -- They have very good group marital problems.
We can't expect new Yorker -- rebuild -- a don't -- that what that dollar you've got to put your winner column but all of the right thing to do.
And it directly to Andrew Luck and Florida.
People could look at that and everybody.
We don't expect you to come up with -- no money did yeah -- -- well no -- for you to practice together.
Regarding a part of the American man.
Not a not a normal.
-- your dollar and what does not put a modern.
Don't -- but I haven't been taken out.
That somehow the people of -- and -- Now -- mr.
Obama refers to the people down in the world and she's obviously referring to African Americans.
And taking the bullet out is racial -- Thereby mr.
Obama injected race into the debate by the way in the N New Orleans might not -- paid anything under the Stafford act this situation so model it's hard to know.
As always you decide.
The validity of mr.
Obama's comments but here's a key question tonight.
Should Mitt Romney referred to that -- take in order to demonstrate how the -- and it is being divisive.
The governor might also point to a speech mr.
Obama gave in 2002.
When he went after wealthy Americans.
What we.
-- That's speech was at the University of Chicago on Martin Luther King Day.
Obama framing his argument that day around the Enron debacle we're working Americans got -- -- corporate gangsters.
But once again the president used class warfare to make his points and he's right.
The rich don't want people to take their stuff.
Because the government has no right to do that.
Today the Obama campaign lashed out against the Katrina criticism.
Mitt Romney's.
Allies in a desperate attempt to change the subject from a video in which Mitt Romney wrote off half of the American people.
Are circulating a video that was covered.
By the campaign press corps at that time when I got to tell you the Romney campaign thinks that this is what Americans are looking for tonight.
In place -- plans for the middle class there in person.
So you're saying this speech is no big deal that.
Well I don't think anybody thinks that the government's response to Katrina was sufficient.
But it's not about Katrina and it's about how you frame your criticisms again you can decide whether president's rhetoric is acceptable or not but again.
The key question becomes would -- be Smart for Mitt Romney to bring all this up.
In the debate tonight.
You know president Obama's gonna hammer the governor over -- 47% remark his campaign just did that so you know that's gonna happen again tonight.
To talking points believes mr.
Romney should it should.
Point now the mr.
Obama has used divisive rhetoric along race and class lines that is true.
Obama has done that.
Now we'll America's respond -- that kind of stuff some well but the casual voter may chalk it up to politics as usual.
SOS same -- stop.
Both Obama and Romney were speaking to the choir when they made their controversial statements they were whipping up their crowd.
Many Romney supporters resent the fact that the nanny state is growing stronger in America many Obama supporters resent the fact that wealthy Americans have so much power.
On the race front polls show more than 90% of African Americans continued -- what the president and truth be told.
He has not use race while governing this country.
But there -- no question that in that Virginia speech he did set the black Americans in New Orleans were treated badly simply because they were black.
The problem for mr.
Obama is that's debatable it's not a fact Alicia Spike Lee.
The presidential debate this evening should be a passionate display.
Governor Romney has to call -- -- on the weak economy the model foreign situation and the class warfare campaign.
Let me repeat the governor -- to do that in very vivid terms and when that happens the president will lash back.
-- -- is a ruthless rich guy who wants to exploit working Americans.
I can't imagine round is gonna take that without a stinging comeback so this exposition tonight has a -- -- be rowdy.
And you know -- I wanna see that I want to see these guys who after each other.
Because there's so dramatically apart in their belief systems that every American should understand the huge gap.
The pressure is on Mitt Romney tonight but he he has plenty plenty of verbal ammunition.
And less than an hour we'll see if he uses it.
And us and them in a moment.

This module provides access to some variables used or maintained by the interpreter and to functions that interact strongly with the interpreter. It is always available.
The list of command line arguments passed to a Python script. argv[0] is the script name (it is operating system dependent whether this is a full pathname or not). If the command was executed using the -c command line option to the interpreter, argv[0] is set to the string '-c'. If no script name was passed to the Python interpreter, argv[0] is the empty string.
To loop over the standard input, or the list of files given on the command line, see the fileinput module.
Clear the internal type cache. The type cache is used to speed up attribute and method lookups. Use the function only to drop unnecessary references during reference leak debugging.
This function should be used for internal and specialized purposes only.
Return a dictionary mapping each thread's identifier to the topmost stack frame currently active in that thread at the time the function is called. Note that functions in the traceback module can build the call stack given such a frame.
This is most useful for debugging deadlock: this function does not require the deadlocked threads' cooperation, and such threads' call stacks are frozen for as long as they remain deadlocked. The frame returned for a non-deadlocked thread may bear no relationship to that thread's current activity by the time calling code examines the frame.
This function should be used for internal and specialized purposes only.
If value is not None, this function prints it to sys.stdout, and saves it in builtins._.
sys.displayhook is called on the result of evaluating an expression entered in an interactive Python session. The display of these values can be customized by assigning another one-argument function to sys.displayhook.
This function prints out a given traceback and exception to sys.stderr.
When an exception is raised and uncaught, the interpreter calls sys.excepthook with three arguments, the exception class, exception instance, and a traceback object. In an interactive session this happens just before control is returned to the prompt; in a Python program this happens just before the program exits. The handling of such top-level exceptions can be customized by assigning another three-argument function to sys.excepthook.
This function returns a tuple of three values that give information about the exception that is currently being handled. The information returned is specific both to the current thread and to the current stack frame. If the current stack frame is not handling an exception, the information is taken from the calling stack frame, or its caller, and so on until a stack frame is found that is handling an exception. Here, "handling an exception" is defined as "executing an except clause." For any stack frame, only information about the exception being currently handled is accessible.
If no exception is being handled anywhere on the stack, a tuple containing three None values is returned. Otherwise, the values returned are (type, value, traceback). Their meaning is: type gets the exception type of the exception being handled (a class object); value gets the exception parameter (its associated value or the second argument to raise, which is always a class instance if the exception type is a class object); traceback gets a traceback object (see the Reference Manual) which encapsulates the call stack at the point where the exception originally occurred.
Assigning the traceback return value to a local variable in a function that is handling an exception will cause a circular reference. Since most functions don't need access to the traceback, the best solution is to use something like exctype, value = sys.exc_info()[:2] to extract only the exception type and value. If you do need the traceback, make sure to delete it after use (best done with a try ... finally statement) or to call exc_info() in a function that does not itself handle an exception.
Such cycles are normally automatically reclaimed when garbage collection is enabled and they become unreachable, but it remains more efficient to avoid creating cycles.

max | maximum representable finite float |
max_exp | maximum int e such that radix**(e-1) is in the range of finite representable floats |
max_10_exp | maximum int e such that 10**e is in the range of finite representable floats |
min | Minimum positive normalizer float |
min_exp | minimum int e such that radix**(e-1) is a normalized float |
min_10_exp | minimum int e such that 10**e is a normalized float |
radix | radix of exponent |
rounds | addition rounds (see float.h) |
The information in the table is simplified.
A string indicating how the repr() function behaves for floats. If the string has value 'short' then for a finite float x, repr(x) aims to produce a short string with the property that float(repr(x)) == x. This is the usual behaviour in Python 3.1 and later. Otherwise, float_repr_style has value 'legacy' and repr(x) behaves in the same way as it did in versions of Python prior to 3.1.
New in version 3.1.
Return the name of the encoding used to convert Unicode filenames into system file names, or None if the system default encoding is used. The result value depends on the operating system:
Return the size of an object in bytes. The object can be any type of object. All built-in objects will return correct results, but this does not have to hold true for third-party extensions as it is implementation specific.
The default argument allows to define a value which will be returned if the object type does not provide means to retrieve the size and would cause a TypeError.
func:getsizeof calls the object's __sizeof__ method and adds an additional garbage collector overhead if the object is managed by the garbage collector.
Return a frame object from the call stack. If optional integer depth is given, return the frame object that many calls below the top of the stack. If that is deeper than the call stack, ValueError is raised. The default for depth is zero, returning the frame at the top of the call stack.
This function should be used for internal and specialized purposes only.
Get the profiler function as set by setprofile().
Get the trace function as set by settrace().
The gettrace() function is intended only for implementing debuggers, profilers, coverage tools and the like. Its behavior is part of the implementation platform, rather than part of the language definition, and thus may not be available in all Python implementations.
Return a tuple containing five components, describing the Windows version currently running. The elements are major, minor, build, platform, and text. text contains a string while all other values are integers.
platform may be one of the following values:
Constant | Platform |
0 (VER_PLATFORM_WIN32s) | Win32s on Windows 3.1 |
1 (VER_PLATFORM_WIN32_WINDOWS) | Windows 95/98/ME |
2 (VER_PLATFORM_WIN32_NT) | Windows NT/2000/XP/x64 |
3 (VER_PLATFORM_WIN32_CE) | Windows CE |
This function wraps the Win32 GetVersionEx function; see the Microsoft documentation for more information about these fields.
Availability: Windows.
The version number encoded as a single integer. This is guaranteed to increase with each version, including proper support for non-production releases. For example, to test that the Python interpreter is at least version 1.5.2, use:
if sys.hexversion >= 0x010502F0:
# use some advanced feature
# use an alternative implementation or warn the user
This is called hexversion since it only really looks meaningful when viewed as the result of passing it to the built-in hex() function. The version_info value may be used for a more human-friendly encoding of the same information.
A struct sequence that holds information about Python's internal representation of integers. The attributes are read only.
attribute | explanation |
bits_per_digit | number of bits held in each digit. Python integers are stored internally in base 2**int_info.bits_per_digit |
sizeof_digit | size in bytes of the C type used to represent a digit |
New in version 3.1.
Enter string in the table of "interned" strings and return the interned string – which is string itself or a copy. Interning strings is useful to gain a little performance on dictionary lookup – if the keys in a dictionary are interned, and the lookup key is interned, the key comparisons (after hashing) can be done by a pointer compare instead of a string compare. Normally, the names used in Python programs are automatically interned, and the dictionaries used to hold module, class or instance attributes have interned keys.
Interned strings are not immortal; you must keep a reference to the return value of intern() around to benefit from it.
These three variables are not always defined; they are set when an exception is not handled and the interpreter prints an error message and a stack traceback. Their intended use is to allow an interactive user to import a debugger module and engage in post-mortem debugging without having to re-execute the command that caused the error. (Typical use is import pdb; pdb.pm() to enter the post-mortem debugger; see chapter pdb — The Python Debugger for more information.)
The meaning of the variables is the same as that of the return values from exc_info() above. (Since there is only one interactive thread, thread-safety is not a concern for these variables, unlike for exc_type etc.)
A list of finder objects that have their find_module() methods called to see if one of the objects can find the module to be imported. The find_module() method is called at least with the absolute name of the module being imported. If the module to be imported is contained in package then the parent package's __path__ attribute is passed in as a second argument. The method returns None if the module cannot be found, else returns a loader.
sys.meta_path is searched before any implicit default finders or sys.path.
See PEP 302 for the original specification.
A list of strings that specifies the search path for modules. Initialized from the environment variable PYTHONPATH, plus an installation-dependent default.
As initialized upon program startup, the first item of this list, path[0], is the directory containing the script that was used to invoke the Python interpreter. If the script directory is not available (e.g. if the interpreter is invoked interactively or if the script is read from standard input), path[0] is the empty string, which directs Python to search modules in the current directory first. Notice that the script directory is inserted before the entries inserted as a result of PYTHONPATH.
A program is free to modify this list for its own purposes.
A list of callables that take a path argument to try to create a finder for the path. If a finder can be created, it is to be returned by the callable, else raise ImportError.
Originally specified in PEP 302.
A dictionary acting as a cache for finder objects. The keys are paths that have been passed to sys.path_hooks and the values are the finders that are found. If a path is a valid file system path but no explicit finder is found on sys.path_hooks then None is stored to represent the implicit default finder should be used. If the path is not an existing path then imp.NullImporter is set.
Originally specified in PEP 302.
This string contains a platform identifier that can be used to append platform-specific components to sys.path, for instance.
For Unix systems, this is the lowercased OS name as returned by uname -s with the first part of the version as returned by uname -r appended, e.g. 'sunos5' or 'linux2', at the time when Python was built. For other systems, the values are:
System | platform value |
Windows | 'win32' |
Windows/Cygwin | 'cygwin' |
Mac OS X | 'darwin' |
OS/2 | 'os2' |
OS/2 EMX | 'os2emx' |
AtheOS | 'atheos' |
Strings specifying the primary and secondary prompt of the interpreter. These are only defined if the interpreter is in interactive mode. Their initial values in this case are '>>> ' and '... '. If a non-string object is assigned to either variable, its str() is re-evaluated each time the interpreter prepares to read a new interactive command; this can be used to implement a dynamic prompt.
Set the system's profile function, which allows you to implement a Python source code profiler in Python. See chapter The Python Profilers for more information on the Python profiler. The system's profile function is called similarly to the system's trace function (see settrace()), but it isn't called for each executed line of code (only on call and return, but the return event is reported even when an exception has been set). The function is thread-specific, but there is no way for the profiler to know about context switches between threads, so it does not make sense to use this in the presence of multiple threads. Also, its return value is not used, so it can simply return None.
Set the maximum depth of the Python interpreter stack to limit. This limit prevents infinite recursion from causing an overflow of the C stack and crashing Python.
The highest possible limit is platform-dependent. A user may need to set the limit higher when she has a program that requires deep recursion and a platform that supports a higher limit. This should be done with care, because a too-high limit can lead to a crash.
Set the system's trace function, which allows you to implement a Python source code debugger in Python. The function is thread-specific; for a debugger to support multiple threads, it must be registered using settrace() for each thread being debugged.
Trace functions should have three arguments: frame, event, and arg. frame is the current stack frame. event is a string: 'call', 'line', 'return', 'exception', 'c_call', 'c_return', or 'c_exception'. arg depends on the event type.
The trace function is invoked (with event set to 'call') whenever a new local scope is entered; it should return a reference to a local trace function to be used that scope, or None if the scope shouldn't be traced.
The local trace function should return a reference to itself (or to another function for further tracing in that scope), or None to turn off tracing in that scope.
The events have the following meaning:
Note that as an exception is propagated down the chain of callers, an 'exception' event is generated at each level.
For more information on code and frame objects, refer to The standard type hierarchy.
The settrace() function is intended only for implementing debuggers, profilers, coverage tools and the like. Its behavior is part of the implementation platform, rather than part of the language definition, and thus may not be available in all Python implementations.
File objects corresponding to the interpreter's standard input, output and error streams. stdin is used for all interpreter input except for scripts but including calls to input(). stdout is used for the output of print() and expression statements and for the prompts of input(). The interpreter's own prompts and (almost all of) its error messages go to stderr. stdout and stderr needn't be built-in file objects: any object is acceptable as long as it has a write() method that takes a string argument. (Changing these objects doesn't affect the standard I/O streams of processes executed by os.popen(), os.system() or the exec*() family of functions in the os module.)
The standard streams are in text mode by default. To write or read binary data to these, use the underlying binary buffer. For example, to write bytes to stdout, use sys.stdout.buffer.write(b'abc'). Using io.TextIOBase.detach() streams can be made binary by default. This function sets stdin and stdout to binary:
def make_streams_binary():
sys.stdin = sys.stdin.detach()
sys.stdout = sys.stdout.detach()
Note that the streams can be replaced with objects (like io.StringIO) that do not support the buffer attribute or the detach() method and can raise AttributeError or io.UnsupportedOperation.
These objects contain the original values of stdin, stderr and stdout at the start of the program. They are used during finalization, and could be useful to print to the actual standard stream no matter if the sys.std* object has been redirected.
It can also be used to restore the actual files to known working file objects in case they have been overwritten with a broken object. However, the preferred way to do this is to explicitly save the previous stream before replacing it, and restore the saved object.
Under some conditions stdin, stdout and stderr as well as the original values __stdin__, __stdout__ and __stderr__ can be None. It is usually the case for Windows GUI apps that aren't connected to a console and Python apps started with pythonw.
A string containing the version number of the Python interpreter plus additional information on the build number and compiler used. It has a value of the form 'version (#build_number, build_date, build_time) [compiler]'. The first three characters are used to identify the version in the installation directories (where appropriate on each platform). An example:
>>> import sys
>>> sys.version
'1.5.2 (#0 Apr 13 1999, 10:51:12) [MSC 32 bit (Intel)]'
A tuple containing the five components of the version number: major, minor, micro, releaselevel, and serial. All values except releaselevel are integers; the release level is 'alpha', 'beta', 'candidate', or 'final'. The version_info value corresponding to the Python version 2.0 is (2, 0, 0, 'final', 0). The components can also be accessed by name, so sys.version_info[0] is equivalent to sys.version_info.major and so on.
Changed in version 3.1: Added named component attributes

'Edible Landscaping' On The Rise
By editor
When the economy entered its downward spiral in 2008, most everything related to housing hit the skids, including the lawn and garden industry. But one sector escaped the pinch — food gardening. In fact, sales spiked 20 percent and stayed there. While many households started growing food to be more budget-conscious, some are deciding vegetables and fruits can be beautiful, too.

Sex Advice
Is it normal that my guy doesn't like to kiss?
Special Offer
I'm seeing this guy who doesn't like to kiss. He's into sex, but he says he's just not into
. I know it's not me, because I've been told I'm good at it. Is this normal?
Normal? Not exactly. But it doesn't make him a freak either, so don't panic. There are a few reasons why your man may be eh about smooching. First off, he may be so insecure about his kissing skills that he avoids it. Since it never hurts to compliment his techniques, boost his kissing confidence by telling him how good he is at it. Encouragement may be just what he needs to get over any doubts he has about his tongue action. Another possible explanation is that he's just not that into kissing, period. While lip-locking is often an important part of foreplay for women and men too some guys find it more of a sexual speed bump, something they put up with to get to the good stuff. Lastly, your guy might have intimacy issues. Kissing is extremely personal. Some people find it more so than sex. Maybe your guy had a bad relationship experience in the past, or perhaps he just fears getting too close. Does he also have trouble maintaining eye contact? Hugging you? If that's the case, he might be afraid to feel vulnerable. Still, that doesn't make him a bad guy. As long as he's a caring boyfriend, explain to him why kissing is so important to you and ask if he can meet you halfway. No, you don't have to make out for hours, but he could indulge you in a few minutes of kissing now and then. If not, well, is he at least good in the sack?

Electric Flannel,
I am sorry if I caused a problem , That was never my intention. I honestly thought that that you worked out a spesific agreement with Harmonix & Mtv Games, similiar to the way thier two companies have a partnership.
I would never tell anyone how to run there buisness, I know I don't like when people tell me how to run my buisness affairs, but I am allways open to suggestions and ideas when presented rite.
In fact I allways ask for suggestions from people I respect on how to better run my buisness, and hope we all can share ideas that work in the game authoring industry company to company.
Curently I am looking for a new contract/agrement to use with the musicians we work with that is simple and to the point, and in english that an average musician can understand. unlike the one I payed my lawyers to draft which seems to scare people away at the site of.
Can anyone give me some ideas ? [allready tried the web rout] nothing I could find. Anything constructive would be helpfull and appreciated.Thanks again,
Benjamin Cable

SLIME is a Emacs mode for Common Lisp development. Inspired by existing systems such Emacs Lisp and ILISP, we are working to create an environment for hacking Common Lisp in.
This frugal page is an invitation to learn more about what's going on.
.SLIME works with GNU Emacs versions 21 and later, and with XEmacs version 21 on Unix, OSX, and Win32.
The currently supported Common Lisp implementations are:
We recommend that you use the CVS version.
You can download a cvs snapshot in tarfile format.
You can check out the latest version with:
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous:firstname.lastname@example.com:/project/slime/cvsroot co slime
We have a manual (as pdf) that explains what SLIME can do and how to use it.
Various tutorials about SLIME are available on the 'net:
You can report bugs at the bugtracker.
The firstname.lastname@example.com mailing list is used for all SLIME discussions. This is where to ask questions, send patches, and generally participate in the development.
SLIME is an Extension of SLIM, which was written by Eric Marsden in mid-2003. Luke Gorrie and Helmut Eller took over development to create SLIME as a traditional "open-source project." Since then the hacking has continued at a rapid pace as many more hackers joined the fray.
A (hopefully) complete list of code contributors appears in the SLIME manual.

The Boston Globe
IN THE EARLY 1990s, in the midst of a national debate about feminism, sexual relationships, and sexual violence, the media discovered an unusual sexual conduct policy at Antioch College, a small liberal arts school in Ohio. The policy, adopted in response to complaints from a group called Womyn of Antioch about not enough being done to stop date rape on campus, mandated explicit verbal consent every step of the way in a sexual encounter -- from undoing a button to sexual intercourse. At the time, it elicited a lot of mockery. But while the debate has gone away, the mindset that inspired the Antioch policy has not.
Over the years, a number of colleges and universities have adopted less extreme versions of this policy, requiring explicit verbal consent to sex though not quite in so much detail. But now, Gettysburg College in Pennsylvania seems to have outdone Antioch: Under that school's policy, a verbally unsanctioned hug could be treated as a sexual assault.
Gettysburg's policy, publicized by the Philadelphia-based Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, defines sexual misconduct as ''a threat of a sexual nature or deliberate physical contact of a sexual nature without the other person's consent," and goes on to state that the physical contact covered by the policy includes nonconsensual ''brushing, touching, grabbing, pinching, patting, hugging, and kissing," as well as ''coerced sexual activities, including rape."
''Each individual," the policy goes on to state, ''has a responsibility to obtain consent before engaging in sexual interaction. Consent is defined as the act of willingly and verbally agreeing (for example, by stating 'yes') to engage in specific sexual conduct. If either person at any point in a sexual encounter does not give continuing and active consent, all sexual contact must cease, even if consent was given earlier."
One hopes this does not mean that both people in a sexual encounter must constantly reaffirm their willingness to continue what they're doing. But who knows? The foundation points out that because it is impossible to enforce such a policy consistently, it will inevitably be enforced in arbitrary ways. If everyone violates the rules at one time or another, anyone is a potential target for punishment.
Policies such as Gettysburg's and Antioch's stem from a noble concern with sexual violence. There has been much debate about the statistics on campus sexual assault. Some researchers claim that as many as one in four college women will be a victim of attempted or completed rape by graduation; critics charge that these figures are vastly overstated and include many instances of miscommunication, not assault. Still, whatever the scope of the problem, it is real and troubling.
Feminists have argued that the traditional romantic script of male aggression and female coyness often contributes to date rape: A man may think that he is sweeping the woman off her feet when he is actually overpowering her with force. There is some substance to this critique: It is difficult not to cringe while reading or watching some aggressive seduction/borderline rape scenes in old books and movies. ''No means no" is generally a good principle, even if sometimes it may be taken too far. (Some antirape activists argue that once the woman has said no, any attempt by the man to change her mind should be regarded as coercion.)
But the requirement of ensuring an explicit ''yes" takes the campaign against sexual assault to a new and absurd level. For one thing, it infantilizes women (while the policies may be gender-neutral on their face, they generally presume men to be the initiators in heterosexual encounters). Are women so weak that they can't even say ''no," or otherwise indicate their lack of consent, unless the man takes the initiative of asking?
Such policies also absurdly overregulate sexual relations -- particularly since they often require verbal consent to each act even in an ongoing relationship. Forget spontaneity, passion, the thrill of discovery. Forget letting go. At the time of the Antioch policy debate, one sexual assault counselor primly condemned ''the blind give-and-take of sexual negotiations," arguing that it should be replaced by clear communication. The worthy goal of rape prevention has been twisted into a utopian attempt to remake human sexuality -- in an image that is not particularly attractive.
The little-known 1987 movie ''Cherry 2000" portrayed a futuristic society in which every date was preceded by a sit-down with lawyers and a written contract about the specific activities to which both parties agreed -- and in which a lot of men sought the company of female androids programmed not only for sex but for old-fashioned romance. Is that where the Gettysburg policy is taking us?

More police surveillance cameras are coming to Syracuse's streets. Following approval by the Common Council earlier this week, Chief Frank Fowler detailed the proposed locations of the 19 potential new devices and the data he's using to support them. Our Kat De Maria has the story.
SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Syracuse Police Chief Frank Fowler has said it all along: If nine crime cameras installed in the city's Near Westside worked, he'd be back to ask for more. That's what happened before the common council Monday and now the devices are on the way.
"The cameras we are going to put up are going to be located throughout the city," Fowler said.
The chief is considering 19 more cameras, although the exact number would depend on the price. He's planning to put two more up on the Near Westside, dedicate ten to the Southside, lining Midland and South avenues, five in the area of South State Street and Oakwood Avenue and two along Butternut in the Northside. He and the mayor have stressed all along that the cameras' placement was driven by where guns went off.
"We're talking about shots fired, multiple shots fired into these residential neighborhoods and putting the people in these neighborhoods in harm's way," said Fowler.
The chief says more people are on board with the camera project this time around, including, he says, residents overwhelmingly. This time, the chief also has more data.
In the year since the cameras went live, compared with the year before, reported crime decreased 25 percent, including a dramatic reduction in drug calls in the Near Westside.The chief is hoping for similar results in the new target areas, which begs the question: After that, will he be done? Or back for more?
Fowler said, "As long as shots are being fired and crimes are being committed and we can identify some type of grant money to pay for these cameras, I'm going to continue to ask the public if this is something they're interested in and if their answer is yes, I'm going to continue to petition the counsel to see if we can expand this project."
Syracuse's police chief says he's hoping to start the crime camera project next month and have them installed by the end of the year.

Their invention allowed for the equipment known as the Aqualung, or self-contained underwater breathing apparatus (SCUBA), enabling safer and deeper dives. Invention Impact The Aqualung was introduced in 1946 and was available on the U.S. market in 1952. It provided safe and low-cost opportunities for scientists, engineers, and underwater enthusiasts. Inventor Bio Cousteau, born in France, was well-known as an innovator and entrepreneur in the world of underwater exploration. He came into wide recognition with the publication of The Silent World in 1953 and the movie release in 1956, and developed into a highly recognizable figure who also spent years working on marine conservation. |

Doesn't fit with KTM hard parts rad guards and probably doesn't work with any other rad guards. Different shape and bigger than OEM. The biggest hassle is that it doesn't include the washers and rubber grommets needed to mount. Chances are these parts won't be reusable from the rad you're replacing and you'll need to order OEM washers and grommets. The OEM mounting hardware is about $5.00 and should be included for convenience. Bike is an '09 KTM 450 EXC. TECH NOTE: Oversized radiators will not allow the use of radaitor braces or guards. Uses all OEM hardware.

A Way with Words and its nonprofit entity receive no money from any public radio station, nor from NPR. Instead, the 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation depends directly on listeners like you. Its mission is to promote lifelong learning and better human understanding.
We encourage you to support your local public radio station, of course, but we also ask you to support A Way with Words with a gift today.
Thanks to your donations, the show is now heard across North America and around the world by more than a quarter-million listeners each week.
When we took over the show in 2007, we knew how to make radio. We knew what people wanted to know about language. And we knew how to get the show out to stations.
But we didn't know how to pay for it. Fundraising? Donors? Sponsors? Magic?
It turned out that among our many thousands of listeners, there were many who cared about language and good radio. Ongoing annual support from listeners like them, and you, accounts for more than half of our operating budget. It is a crucial piece of our funding pie.
Thanks to you, each year we make more new episodes than the previous year. You asked us to make more brand-new one-hour shows, so that's what we're doing.
But did you know that A Way with Words is more than a weekly hour of radio? If only it were that easy!
In fact, behind each hour of radio there are at least 120 hours of other work.
For every caller we talk to on the air, we respond to hundreds off-air, when we can, with answers, help, advice, and support. In fact, we get more than 15,000 phone calls and emails a year, and dearly wish we could respond to them all.
We also give public workshops, lectures, and presentations to all sorts of groups: business people, high school and college students, church groups, teachers, writers, and more.
We also spend even more hours each week on back-office business with vendors and stations, carefully managing where money goes: studio rental, file- and site-hosting, a radio engineer, a radio editor, and satellite distribution, an expense that increased by 50% last year.
All together, this work is how we fulfill our mission of helping people think about language in a new way.
We want to thank you for everything you do for us. Your calls and emails matter a great deal. They energize, delight, and inform us. Without you, we wouldn't have a show.
Best wishes and happy listening,

My Company & Personal Background
I have never hired/managed a sales person, but I would like to hire my first. From when I founded the company 3 years ago up until now, I've only received sales via SEM/SEO/WOM.
We manufacture and sell firearms related products.
For our products, the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows salaries for Sales Representatives, Wholesale and Manufacturing, Except Technical and Scientific Products (NAICS SOC: 41-4012) to be from 55k to 62k annually.
My company and I are located in Arizona.
I was recently solicited with a proposal by a customer from South Carolina, who is currently a salesman and has been his entire life. He would like to act as a sales rep for my company and represent the "South East Region" of the US, which encompasses 9 states. He plans to physically travel around selling to individuals, resellers and distributors.
His Proposal
For all sales that I generate through personal contact a 25% commission on the gross profit will be earned and 10% on all orders shipped into my region regardless of how they were attained, by Internet, phone, etc..., to include repeat sales.
My Questions
- Are his rates reasonable for a traveling salesman? If not, what would be a reasonable starting point?
- Is it reasonable for him to receive compensation on sales in his "region" that are generated from SEO/SEM/WOM without his efforts?
- Is this just a management nightmare that I should avoid?
- Are there benefits to starting with an inside sales person first?
- What are the foreseeable problems that I may encounter (i.e. financial, logistics, legal, etc.)? How can I protect my company?

I'm fully behind a cognitive remediation (cr) program because 'if you don't use it...you lose it'! I had a severe motorbike accident in my final year at secondary school (1986) that left me in a coma for 7-months. When I emerged from the coma, I had to be re-taught everything! As I learned when I went on to study Psychology "...each neuron is surrounded by a myriad of dormant neurons that can take over 80% of the original neurons function."By extension, that means a survivor can become more intelligent after their traumatic experience! Dr^56 Viktor Frankl explains why: if people can attach meaning to their situation, they can do anything. See: www.vfisa.co.,za and firstname.lastname@example.com
Cognitive Remediation for Psychiatric Patients Improving Functional Outcomes for Patients With Schizophrenia
Cognitive Remediation for Psychiatric Patients Improving Functional Outcomes for Patients With Schizophrenia

In This Special Report: |
Cognitive Difficulties Associated With Mental Disorders, by Rami Kaminski, MD Cognitive Remediation for Psychiatric Patients, by Alice Medalia, PhD |
Many people assume that it is the emotional and psychotic symptoms that make it difficult for a person with schizophrenia to function in everyday life. In fact, research indicates that cognitive impairment is a major reason why functional outcome is so poor.1 Impairments in attention, memory, processing speed, and problem-solving ability are commonly seen in patients with schizophrenia, depression, bipolar disorder, and alcohol and substance abuse disorders.2 While the severity and profile of these deficits vary depending on factors such as diagnosis, course of illness, and socioenvironmental variables, patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders typically score below 85% of the general population on cognitive tests. These cognitive deficits are persistent and are not simply related to an episode of illness. Therefore, even when the person is psychiatrically stable, cognitive impairment remains evident.
Cognition and daily functioning
Cognitive deficits make it difficult to work, study, live independently, socialize, and manage one's illness. These daily living tasks all require an ability to attend and remember, to identify goals and the steps to reach them, to prioritize and organize activities, and to integrate feedback to monitor performance. Take the example of illness management. Many patients do not take medications as prescribed because they have difficulty organizing their pills or forget their dosing schedule or whether they already took their medication.3
Some patients may be referred to psychiatric skills training programs, but it is difficult for them to process and remember the information given in groups if they have cognitive problems. In the arena of independent living, patients with cognitive deficits struggle to remember appointments and where they put their keys and other personal items. People with problem-solving deficits have trouble organizing their living space so that they can find things and may have difficulty in maintaining a budget or negotiating public transportation. Sometimes patients are labeled as unmotivated and uncooperative when, in fact, they want to remember but simply are not able to.
Patients with cognitive impairment require specific therapeutic interventions so they can achieve a good functional outcome. Careful attention should be paid to the potential cognitive toxicity of pharmacotherapeutic regimens. Psychoeducation about cognitive symptoms should be provided for the patient and his or her family so that they understand the basis of the forgetful, inattentive behaviors and can strategize ways to support improved cognitive functioning.4 There are no FDA-approved medications to improve neurocognitive functions in patients with schizophrenia and affective disorders, but patients may benefit from participation in a cognitive remediation (CR) program. These programs can strengthen impaired cognitive skills that interfere with daily functioning and teach strategies that can be used to compensate for deficits (Table).
Behavioral treatment for cognitive impairments
CR is a behavioral treatment that engages the patient in exercises intended to improve the neuropsychological skills that underlie thinking. It differs from cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) in both focus and methodology. The focus of CR is on the neuro- psychological processes that underpin thinking, while the focus of CBT is on the form and content of thought. For example, while CBT might focus on a patient's reasoning and attributional style of jumping to conclusions or being quick to self-blame, CR focuses on improving working memory capacity and ability to sustain attention. CBT might focus on a patient's belief that there is a plot to harm him, whereas CR focuses on improving attention, executive functioning, and verbal memory.
