The Merrill Settlement: What It Means -- and Doesn't Mean
There are some things that even Eliot Spitzer can't change about the way Wall Street does business.
To settle charges by the New York State Attorney General that Merrill Lynch's analysts misled investors with bullish stock ratings on shaky companies, the firm agreed on Tuesday to pay $100 million and change the way it pays its stock analysts.
Now, Spitzer, in his campaign to weed out conflicts of interest in Wall Street research, is going after other firms, including Morgan Stanley (APF) and Citigroup's (C) Salomon Smith Barney.
Hopefully, the attorney general's crusade will force the industry to correct these conflicts and restore some investor confidence in the country's financial system. At the very least, individual investors will be more aware of the conflicts that exist in this industry.But research and investment banking divisions at full service financial firms might be too intertwined to extricate. Here are some things that Merrill Lynch's settlement doesn't change. Analysts will still have some role in drumming up banking business. Although Merrill Lynch (MER)didn't admit any wrongdoing, the firm has agreed to several measures to detach research from investment banking activities. Merrill will separate how it pays analysts from its banking business, create a committee to review new research coverage and changes in stock recommendations, and appoint someone to monitor compliance with these reforms.

By Johnny Jackson
Average gas prices are steady this first week of spring, although energy and industry officials anticipate seasonal increases as the summer driving season approaches.
The national average for a gallon of regular unleaded gas was $3.54 on Wednesday, down a penny from the week before, according to AAA's Daily Fuel Gauge Report.
The report revealed that Georgia experienced a decline in average prices, from $3.47 per gallon of regular unleaded gas about a week ago, to $3.44 on Wednesday. Metro Atlantans are paying $3.44 per gallon on average.
The flat line in average gas prices reflected a similar line for crude oil prices on the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX), according to Jessica Brady, spokeswoman for AAA Auto Club South.
The price of crude oil barely moved from last week, said Brady, noting the 5-cent decrease in crude oil prices that settled at $101.07 a barrel on Friday's NYMEX.
Bloomberg.com's Stock Market & Financial Markets Overview indicated crude oil trading held around $105 per barrel Wednesday, on NYMEX.
"News that Moammar Gadhafi ordered his regime to cease fire on the rebels and would try to resolve the dispute helped keep oil prices at bay," said Brady.
Brady said concerns still linger as protests continue in middle eastern nations such as Bahrain, Iran, and Saudi Arabia, as well as Libya.
"This is the first week in more than a month that retail gas prices showed a decrease," Brady said. "It's uncertain whether prices will continue to drop this week since there is still much turmoil in the Mideast that could push oil prices higher."
Crude oil spot prices have risen about $15 per barrel since mid-February partly in response to the disruption of crude oil exports from Libya, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA).
Crude oil is projected to average $105 per barrel in 2011, according to EIA's March 2011 Short-Term Energy Outlook, which is a monthly report on projected U.S. energy costs.
EIA reported that the new projection for crude oil is about $14 higher than projected in its February report. The administration began the year -- in its January report -- forecasting crude oil prices would average about $93 for 2011. That forecast was $14-per-barrel higher than the average price in 2010.
Higher crude oil prices, energy officials anticipate, will continue to be passed along at the pump, as the summer driving season approaches.
EIA projects the average cost for a gallon of regular unleaded gas will be $3.56 in 2011, 77-cents per gallon higher than the 2010 average. The administration projects prices will rise to an average of about $3.70 per gallon for regular unleaded gas, between April and September.

As we prepare to celebrate the Jewish New Year next week – and I extend my deepest personal wishes for a Shanah Tovah to you – I have been giving some serious thought to one of its major themes: rebirth. After all, Jewish tradition teaches us that at Rosh Hashanah the world was born and in many ways we celebrate that birth year after year at this time.Read More

Esther Burson, the JDC Jewish Service Corps Fellow serving that community, brought together local teen volunteers and her JSC Fellow peers from Argentina and Israel for a unique yet traditional Pesach celebration.Read More
The fact that there are economic woes in the Baltics is hardly "news" these days. But new to the media scene is how JDC is helping battle rising rates of unemployment and poverty among Jews in those countries—especially those who had managed to work their way into the middle class over the past number of years, only to find themselves knocked back down a number of rungs amidst the global financial crisis.Read More

#6800 enhancement new
Expand `CertificateOptions` to include a simple API for specifying what protocols to support
|Reported by:
|Owned by:
|Launchpad Bug:
Description (last modified by exarkun)
twisted.internet.ssl.CertificateOptions is used to define the connection parameters for a family of protocols. SSL versions 21 and 3 and TLS versions 1.0, 1.1, and 1.2.
The current API for choosing between these protocols is quite baroque. It's also not very expressive.
- CertificateOptions(method=SSLv2_METHOD) - this negotiates SSLv2
- CertificateOptions(method=SSLv3_METHOD) - this negotiates SSLv3
- CertificateOptions(method=TLSv1_METHOD) - this negotiates TLS v1.0.
- CertificateOptions(method=SSLv23_METHOD) - this negotiates SSLv2, SSLv3, TLSv1.0, TLSv1.1, or TLSv1.2.
- CertificateOptions(method=None) (or CertificateOptions()) - this negotiates TLSv1.0, TLSv1.1, or TLSv1.22
Given a sufficiently new version of pyOpenSSL, these are also possible:
- CertificateOptions(method=TLSv1_1_METHOD) - this negotiates TLSv1.1
- CertificateOptions(method=TLSv1_2_METHOD) - this negotiates TLSv1.2
Notice that out of 5 protocols there are only 7 possible protocol combinations supported (rather than the complete set of 31 combinations3).
I suggest that CertificateOptions(protocols=[...]) is a better API. The list can specify exactly which protocols to support in any combination. This avoids the need for more symbols than there are protocols (eg SSLv23_METHOD) and makes it extremely obvious what protocols are being selected.
It also steps away from the OpenSSL specific terminology of "methods" and it will force us to step away from the pyOpenSSL supplied method constants since will not longer be useful and not all of them (SSLv23_METHOD) will make sense with this API. These are good things since CertificateOptions is not supposed to be OpenSSL-specific.
1: Of course, SSLv2 is disabled in most real-world OpenSSL builds now so all mentions of SSLv2 in this description are for the sake of completeness. It's most likely not possible to ever negotiate this protocol anymore - nor should it be.
2: Prior to the merge of #6772 it actually negotiates only TLSv1.0.
3: Or 15 if we disregard SSLv2

The NYU Leadership Fellows is a pilot program for 15 students from across the University who are passionate about leadership and have demonstrated a commitment to making a difference on campus, in a particular field, in their communities and in the world.
We believe that leadership is more than having a formal title. Leadership requires working effectively with others to create a shared vision, build commitment and take action to produce results that make a difference.
NYU students demonstrate leadership in many different ways – moving group projects forward in class or at work; taking a stand for justice; encouraging dialogue across differences; participating in team sports; mentoring, coaching or being an ally to other students; serving as program ambassadors, Welcome Week, orientation or cohort leaders; serving in formal leadership roles or serving the greater community.

Here's a sight familiar to East Coast cruisers: the vertical lift bridge spanning the Cape Cod Canal in Bourne, Mass. It's an unusual shot of the railroad bridge in its half-raised position. Unlike most opening bridges, which only open for boat traffic, this span stays in a raised position in deference to the 20,000 vessels that pass beneath it each year.
Shipwrecks were a common occurrence during the age of sail, what with thousands of vessels plying America's inland and coastal waters. But there were shipwrecks and then there were shipwrecks. Some involved the tragic loss of life; others were merely an inconvenience to ship owners.
Four members of the Kill Devil Hills Life Saving Station take a moment to pose in their white hats and jackets, their surfboats at the ready. Theirs was not an easy job, living in a lonely outpost on the stormy North Carolina coast.
Nantucket Island, off Cape Cod, Mass., was the whaling capital of the world during the first half of the 19th century. Whaling was how many a family made a living — or a fortune — sailing distant reaches of the seven seas in hardy, no-frills ships in pursuit of some of the largest creatures in the world.
Soundings was 11 years old when Steve Haesche's photo made the cover in March 1974. Do you recall your first boat ride? This is how so many Soundings readers got their start: in a little boat, off on their own.Anchor, flotation cushions, bilge pump, paddle — he's got all the gear he needs for a little adventure. There's even the luxury of cable steering!
And what fun these first boats were — the small craft that got us out on the water and changed our lives. You couldn't drive a car, but you could run a little outboard like this one or sail a Blue Jay or Lightning, the same as a grown-up. Boats breed self-esteem, help us grow.

The Shakopee district recently pushed back plans to put iPads in the hands of every sixth-grader from next year to 2014-15. They want more data and time to evaluate multiple devices, not just iPads.

As more Minnesota districts put tablets in the hands of every student, the Shakopee district isn't jumping on the bandwagon — or the iPad cart — anytime soon.
This month, the school board voted to move the district's first 1:1 device pilot program — meaning each student gets their own device, typically an iPad — initially planned for the Pearson Sixth Grade Center for next year, to 2014-15.
That means the soonest the entire district might implement 1:1 technology is in 2015-16, if at all.
But being cautious suits the district fine, said Board Member Mary Romansky, and it's betting it will benefit teachers and students in the long run.
"The reason we delayed it a year was we wanted to make sure we had the right instrument, the right technology, for the students, and to see how other districts are doing," said Romansky.
Though there was disappointment, the extra year will give teachers time to learn to teach with tablets, said Dave Orlowsky, principal at Pearson, because all sixth-grade teachers will get their own iPad next year.
In addition, "This year gives us a chance to really evaluate multiple devices," said Orlowsky.
Though schools are saturated with Apple products, it's valuable for students to be able to use multiple kinds of devices, said Superintendent Rod Thompson.
"We've watched a lot of our colleagues out there making $5 million-dollar-plus decisions," said Superintendent Rod Thompson. "What we've learned … is that our students have to be able to use any platform when they graduate."
Thus, Shakopee will bring in several hundred Google Chromebooks next year, in addition to 370 iPads currently in the district. Currently, only certain teachers have iPads, and there were four classroom sets district-wide last year, Orlowsky said. They also have several hundred laptops, said Thompson.
They haven't decided yet whether the 600 Pearson students will get iPads, Chromebooks, Windows 8 tablets or another device in 2014-15 — but most likely, it will be a mix, Thompson said.
Tablets for all?
Many south metro districts either have 1:1 technology already or are in the process of implementing it to a degree. The Farmington district leased iPads for each of its 6,700 students this year, and Northfield will be 1:1 next year. Other districts, like West St. Paul-Mendota Heights-Eagan, have piloted iPads at certain schools.
Lakeville has about 2,400 student iPads, some in 1:1 settings and others on portable carts.
But Shakopee wants to see data on how tablets impact learning first, said Thompson.
"Right now, everything we do has to be data-driven," he said.
That's why the district recently hired Orlowsky as its new data administrator, he said. It will be his job to "help us do the legwork behind the research," Thompson said, including determining how to measure the four technology goals the district has identified.
Some data will come from the Pearson pilot, but Shakopee's wait-and-see approach means it also can learn from other districts, said Thompson.

The fit is very tight on the head rests, but loose on the seat bottom and back. If your expecting a tight fit like neopreme your going to be disapointed. The sewing could be better. Some seams are just plain jagged. Since this is a hunting rig it will suffice. I do like the molle system on the seat backs. Lots of totes to put you binocs, range finder, rounds, ready to grab and go. I did have to special order the middle seat, what a hassel and three extra weeks. Kryptek Typhoon is a great pattern. Does not show dirt and dust. cleans with a wet towel. Going to order them for my H1 as well

Live Action Toy Story? The newest, coolest viral!Some geniuses have made a 'Live Action Toy Story' and posted it on YouTube.The whole thing.Shot for shot.That's some fanaticism!You can watch the video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5G0j_Huv2Fg - it took around 30 people 3 years to create! However, I'm sure it's worth it! Millions of people are tuning in to watch Toy Story be performed by actual toys!The whole thing is shot for shot accurate. There's accurate sets, characters, action, lighting... dogs. This level of dedication makes the rest of us fans look like disinterested bystanders... And, might I add,they cast most of the toys' characters PERFECTLY!Interesting fact, Disney's seen it, and given it their blessing! Apparently Disney gave them both permission to distribute it on YouTube, and a free trip to Pixar Animation Studios!

Tapastic PPP for Comic Artists!Hey guys! It was great meeting everyone in San Francisco last weekend!In other news, there's a great new program for comic artists that I would like to share.

If you're not a comic artist, you can still check out all the cool webcomics on Tapastic.com and help support the artists that way Take care!
Studio GhibliA Tokyo based animation studio that needs no introduction! Studio Ghibli is best known for their traditionally animated anime films. It was originally founded by the legendary pair, Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata, back in 1985. Ghibli is named after an Italian war plane that was used for scouting, this reflected Miyazaki's love for not only airplanes but also Italy. The name itself means "hot wind blowing through the Sahara Desert".Takahata and Miyazaki It was formed after the great success of Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, which both Takahata and Miyazaki worked on. Their first feature film hit was Laputa, or some of you may know it as Castle in the Sky. Most of the films that Studio Ghibli produces is by Miyazaki, followed by Takahata, although they have worked with other film producers and directors as well.Family favourite, My Neighbour TotoroWalt Disney later acqui
The 'Free' Artist's Toolbox for Digital Artists Welcome to projecteducate 's topic: The Free Digital Arts Toolbox!Not all artists can or want to pay for expensive programs like Photoshop or PaintTool SAI, expensive hardware like Wacom Tablets, or premium stock for poses, brushes, patterns, backgrounds, etc. How is an artist wanting to work in digital media supposed to operate while keeping their finances under control? THAT is exactly what we will be discussing - and until 2014 when my own family bought me tools and programs I had wanted for a long time, I worked my digital media magic using mostly free programs, methods and resources. ProgramsPhotoshop and PaintTool SAI are amazing - no doubt. But they are not the only programs available that can edit pho
A Thank-You Journal FeatureHey, guys!Today I would like to assault your inboxes with a massive feature journal. Why? Well.This incredible thing happens to me sometimes. It's called gift art. It gets me right in the chest every time. I am stunned anew each time an artist takes an interest in my characters- who I love so much more than myself- enough to devote the time and trouble to recreate them. It's the most amazing thing, to see them interpreted, it gives me an invaluable new perspective on them, inspires me to try new things, makes me grin and laugh and sometimes cringe with guilt at what I've put them through. It makes them alive outside my head, and for that I can't thank anyone enough.But in an attempt at payback, I've picked a few of my favorite things from the galleries of these folks to show along with what they've made of my cast. I hope you pay them a visit, every one of them is wonderful!And THANK YOU guys for the artwork! I'm completely serious that receiving gift art is one of the happi

Been Away From The OfficeBeen effectively offline for the last month, sorry about that.Many things have been going on. School had a good honest go at me over the semester, but I am now officially graduated with my BFA in Graphic Design. I was 100% expecting to pack up and move home for a summer of freelance and loafing, but was picked up by a company in town not three days after our class show, and things have been crazy since.And you'll never guess what I've been hired to do. *griiiin* After years of repeating that kid me first got into art because I wanted to be an animator but that I've long since chickened out, I've come full circle and have been and will be assisting with animating Flash-style games and web cartoons for a company that does work for Random House, PBS, and Disney itself.

Is your piece a vector, vexel or mixed media?First of all; don't create art to make it go in a certain category - if you feel the need to reach outside the rules, do so - but please don't try to sneak it in. This is a group for vector and vexels, if your piece isn't one, we won't upload it to the gallery - it isn't because your piece isn't "worthy" or "good enough" or because we want to punish you Some of you might have gotten a message on your submissions where one of us asks you to explain a certain part of your piece or what program(s) you used. We hope to stop doing that - we would rather be able to accept all the submissions and count on you guys to know what your piece is.So here it is - the steps to figuring out where your piece goes (in our gallery, but also when you upload it to dA and need to choose a category)What program did you use?If you are using a program capable of making vector-layers and resizing these infinit, your work is a vector so far.

I'm getting my food ready for the upcoming week so that I can have fun tomorrow!
I'm making soup- roasted butternut squash soup with apples, red curry, red lentils and light coconut milk. About 300 calories per serving.
While the soup cooked I also roasted cauliflower so I can have three more servings of the whole-wheat penne I was eating last week. At the same time I roasted a red pepper, because I'm going to make hummus.
I'll eat the hummus on whole-wheat pita bread with Greek salad and Gardein "chicken".
And I'll probably make a batch of pancakes too. I think I have some pumpkin puree in the freezer that I'll add to the batter!
And then I won't have to think about cooking again until next weekend! Voila!
Hmmmm... soda or juice or a cocktail... or herbal tea?
Herbal tea sounds like a good choice!
I'll just run some water through the coffee maker to heat it up!
Five minutes later I go to fill my teacup and realize I forgot to put the carafe under the drain, and all the water went all over the counter and the floor.
Let's just call it extra cleaning!
Through my job, I get a certain amount of discretionary health spending that I can use each year. It can cover the deductible on prescription medication, or paramedical services like physiotherapy, naturopathy or chiropractic medicine. Or... my favourite... MASSAGE THERAPY! This money runs out every year, so it's use it or lose it! I've calculated that eleven weeks remain this year, and I've got $650 to spend before then, or it's gone forever. I'll be rewarding myself with a massage in October, November and December. I'm going to try out three different spas (I think) that are known for their posh change rooms. My first appointment- next week- is at a place that has infrared saunas and ergonomically-correct heated limestone relaxation chairs. I'll be lounging with a book before my appointment (and after, maybe!).
If you've got discretionary health spending, don't let it go to waste! Treat yourself!
Yes, I will give you a snarky face if you're five minutes late for a group fitness class and then you ask me to move all my equipment because you don't like any of the available positions in the room. Can you not see I'm already in the middle of exercising? Can you not see the large, unoccupied areas of floor to your left and right? And then, after I stop my cardio and move all my stuff, you only stay for five minutes? Good riddance!
I really do support anyone beginning a new fitness regime (I'm definitely no expert myself!) BUT I also think that when you're in a new situation- ANY new situation, it's best to err on the side of common courtesy, rather than self-absorption. I hope this post, and my last post, help people who are new to shared workout spaces get off on a better foot! Working out is more fun when you're not annoying everyone around you (not that I'd know...).
I can hear you!
I might have my headphones in, but my music isn't THAT loud.
Girl 1: "How fast is she walking?"
Girl 2: (Looks at my treadmill screen.) "3.5"
Girl 1: "Oh. What's her incline?"
Girl 2: (Looks AGAIN.) "15%"
Girl 1: "Oh."
The two of them then kept tabs on my changing speeds and inclines. And, I think, my playlist!
I almost wanted to stop and say, "Can I help you with something?" But I was in the middle of an awesome workout and I wasn't going to lose my momentum.
These girls seem like newcomers to the gym, so I understand that they might have questions and not be sure about the etiquette. So let this serve as a lesson, Gym Newcomers: If you have a question, ask the trainer or even ask someone who looks like they know what they're doing. DON'T try to get info by (in)discreetly scoping out someone else's weights, resistance, speed, etc. And for goodness sake, don't loudly ask someone else to look at a third person's machines on your behalf!

Help Us With Our Software Compliance Audits Survey!
Posted by Sean Galvin on November 23, 2009
- 317 Recommendations
- 0 comments
Just like a fruitcake is the holiday gift that no one wants, a license compliance audit is sure to be at the bottom of everyone's wish list this holiday season (except for maybe the vendors). What do you do if you find this lump of coal in your stocking? How do you resolve the issue as quickly as possible? And no, re-gifting is not an option!
License compliance audits are a growing problem for sourcing and vendor management professionals. Not only do Forrester clients report increased audit activity, as software publishers try to ensure they get every dollar of revenue to which they are entitled, but they also raise an ever widening list of reasons for alleged non-compliance.
If you have had a software license audit in the last two years that found an alleged non-compliant or under-licensed situation, we want to hear from you. We're interested in the issues companies face around compliance-related audits and the methods employed to resolve the noncompliance, and plan to publish a report on our findings. Please click on the link below to access our survey. Your responses will be confidential, and you will receive a copy of our research findings if you provide your name and email address at the end of the survey. Please complete the survey in full once you click on the link, as you can only take the survey once.

Elysium is this summer's Sci-Fi blockbuster from Neill Blomkamp, director of the much loved District 9. Blomkamp had a significantly larger budget to play with this time, along with the star power of Matt Damon and Jodie Foster.
It is the year 2154 and the world has become an overcrowded, polluted hell. Los Angeles is no more than sprawling shanty town of epic proportions. Meanwhile, the super rich live on Elysium, a ring world in a post … More

Social Intelligence M&A: Visible Technologies Acquires Cymfony
Posted by Zach Hofer-Shall on April 6, 2012
- 623 Recommendations
- 0 comments
Big news in the social intelligence world: Two of the larger listening platforms become one as Visible Technologies acquires Cymfony. You can read more about the acquisition here.
From my perspective, this is a smart move for both Visible Technologies and Cymfony. Although they have overlapping backers, the real benefit comes from their complementing offerings. Visible Technologies has its Visible Intelligence platform — one that receives consistent praise from end users for its usability, functionality, and data quality. But while Visible Technologies provides a strong tool set, the vendor has had some trouble growing internationally — both within its technology offering and in research and consulting services.
In an almost-exact contrast, Cymfony has one of the stronger international offerings — through its services and data sourcing — but its dashboard and technologies lagged behind the market's evolution. Combining Visible Technologies' dashboard with the support of Cymfony's services and international strength should create a powerful union.
Congratulations to both parties. I am — and I know both vendors' many clients are — eager to see what comes of this acquisition.

Never thought about doing something to my breast. Have three different PS. Piazza charges $50 for consultation. Dr. Kerr and Thompson are free. I decided doing this cosmetic procedure with Dr Troy Thompson. A friend recommended him. He doesn't advertise on the media. He is a character, but he knows what you want. He was willing to spend a lot of time to figure out what I want. My procedure is... more
I used to have a very nice 34C but did not take care of my breast before and during pregnancy and after breastfeeding my son for a year, I am now a saggy 32D. My son is now 7 years old and I am so ready to feel normal about my breast again. I have been reading a lot of stories on this site and I now feel more comfortable. Hubby was not on board earlier but is now ok with it, I guess?? The... more
"Skeptic No More - Austin, TX"
I underwent a breast lift this week after putting off for a year from the time I went in for my initial consultation. I simply did not believe that the results could be worth the discomfort, down time and potentially disappointing result. It is now three days since the surgery. My breasts are covered in unsightly stitches and still quite swollen and yet I can already and without a... more
"Wonderful experience! - Austin, TX"
I am writing this review with the hope of reaching someone who is currently considering plastic surgery but is unsure or confused in their choices. Before selecting my doctor, I researched more than a few cosmetic surgeons in the Austin area and my strong recommendation would be to do yourself a favor and schedule a consultation with Dr. R. Earlier this year, I had a breast lift /... more

Maine tow truck driver swarmed by honeybees
What started as a routine response for a Maine tow truck driver ended with a trip to the hospital after he was swarmed by thousands of honeybees.
Jason Small, a driver for Don's No Preference Towing, got a call Wednesday to tow a truck from the Wayne fire station parking lot.
He wasn't told the truck was hauling bees.
As he hooked up the vehicle, the bees swarmed. He was stung on the arm and jumped in his truck's cab. He tells the Kennebec Journal his arm went numb, he momentarily lost vision, and began to "sweat like crazy."
He was treated at the hospital but returned to work later Wednesday.
Fire Chief Bruce Mercier says most of the bees had been removed from the truck, but some were left behind.

This country is seriously going beyond insane. A group of gunmen stormed into Tripoli's Islamic Hospital last night and released a detainee called Mohamad Youssef, who was arrested for opening fire on minister Faisal Karami's convoy a while ago, after beating up the police men who were guarding him.
This photo by Marwan Tahtah was taken in Roumieh prison and made it to the cove page of Al-khbar's issue for today. If only these muscles were put to good use to stop the chaos in Roumieh!
Check this article on how the prison is currently more like a command centers for some criminals on the run due to the lack of control over the Islamist prisoners.
According to this Facebook page, some unknown lady driving a black BMW with tinted windows in Hamra today afternoon, refused to stop for the police who apparently wanted to check the tint license, and decided to block the whole street when he insisted!
No matter how important this lady is, it would be a real shame if the ISF let her get away with what she did. She cannot cause people to get stuck in a traffic jam for no reason except that she thinks she's above the law, especially in a business center area like Hamra. I hope no one was being rushed to a nearby hospital and ended up getting stuck there!
Thanks to @ghazayel
The below photo appeared in Assafir newspaper yesterday for an all women Lebanese police patrol on duty for the first time in Mar Elias street in Beirut.
Who knows, If our policemen can't secure our streets from douchebags and their burning tires, maybe these ladies can do a better job!
For the first time in its history, 610 young girls made their way into the Internal Security Forces after announcing its will to recruit female volunteers earlier.
The video below shows the result of a 2 months training that 200 girls have received, and as you can see many of them are quite good looking! Getting arrested now seems like a pretty cool idea eh?!
On a serious note, I totally respect these women and believe that they're much needed in our country.
I actually found this news a bit surprising because it's the first time for me to read about people getting arrested for hacking e-mail and Facebook accounts in Lebanon.
The department of Public Relations at the ISF General Directorate announced that investigations were carried out by the Cyber Crime and Intellectual Property Rights Bureau Unit based on more than 70 complaints filed by citizens regarding stolen and hacked electronic accounts (e-mail and Facebook among others). The hackers blackmail the account owners and steal their identity to get large sums of money.
During inquiries, the first man admitted to having carried out acts of piracy and stolen around 600 emails, blackmailing their owners and stealing their identity to get large sums of money by transferring recharge card dollars to cellphones and selling them. These amounts reached around $200.000 and all the electronic equipment used was seized. Source
Still, the police might have chased these two because they went so far with the blackmailing they did.
Anyway, I personally know some people who do such things just for the fun of it. They go to some cafe offering wireless internet for the purpose of "stealing" Facebook session. Some tools to use in the process are widely available and are pretty easy to use if you have enough IT knowledge.
These people better know that things can turn really bad now that the Cyber Crime unit out and about. So unless you know how to really cover your tracks, just keep away from these stuff!
The below photos were taken in Tallet El-Khayyat showing a police car running a red light. Definitely not a shocking scene as we're all used to the reckless driving by the police in Beirut, but it's cool to have their actions documented by Cheyef 7alak now!
And I know, they can always justify that by saying it was an emergency!
Nice catch by Salim Al Lawzi.
Salim spotted two members from the ISF washing the Mercedes of some Lebanese official in Achrafiyeh. Think of it, if for the simplest things, in this case a car wash, this official is abusing his power, can you imagine what he does when dealing with other more important issues?
On the other hand, that most probably explains why ISF members act like douchebags with people, they get abused by their supperiors and they eventually have to let it out at others, us! (Although they do have some fun sometimes)
I was listening to the radio on my way to work today when I heard that the internal security forces issued a total of 5,000 tickets after 24 hours of activating the speeding radars.
Given that each ticket costs 50,000 L.L, a quick calculation shows that we now owe the Lebanese government a total of 250,000,000 L.L (~$166,000) in just one day! And at this rate, the government will be generating $5,000,000 a month from these radars!
Assuming that the cost of the radars + installing them is $10,000,000, it will take 2 months to cover this amount and start generating profit! Now that's a business I wish I can invest in!
Still, I have some question marks about collecting these fines from violators. In a country like Lebanon where people can drive a car with defected number plates on their cars and still get away with it when going through the yearly car inspection, how will the police identify the car number in such case? And what about all these foreign cars with Khaliji number plates? Is there some mechanism to force their owners to pay the fines before leaving Lebanon?

The discussion over the best ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and remove existing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere often includes measures that entail planting trees. But this discussion overlooks an important factor: trees are not the only plants that take up carbon dioxide. In fact, microscopic marine phytoplankton already play a critical role in regulating today's carbon cycles.
These tiny organisms consume carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and move it to marine sediments in the deep ocean in a process called "the biological pump". Currently, more than 99 per cent of the Earth's carbon is bound up in these sediments, locked away in the depths of the ocean.
A new EU-funded project called "OCEAN-CERTAIN" has been created to improve our understanding of the biological pump, so that its significance in shaping future climate change is clearer. The project will be led by researchers from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim, and will examine and compare the situations in different ocean areas on the planet.
"The marine ecosystem, from microorganisms up to fish, mitigates the accumulation of CO2 in the atmosphere through its activity, but there are major uncertainties about the importance of these processes and how they are affected by human activities," says Yngvar Olsen, a professor in NTNU's Department of Biology, and the project's coordinator. "We are a broad group of scientists from Europe, Chile and Australia, which is important in seeing the challenge from a global perspective. We are both natural scientists who will work with the ecosystem and the biological pump and social scientists who will study possible consequences for society, or people in general."
The biological pump as a process is well known to marine scientists, but there remains great uncertainty about how much carbon is bound up in ocean sediments annually, and how the process will be affected by changing clim

Rich Harrington: Hi, My name's Rich Harrington. Robbie Carman: And I'm Robby Carman. Rich Harrington: And Rob, we've recently explored the exposure triangle in-depth. We've managed our aperture to control the amount of light. We've adjusted the shutter speed to really see how much light comes through and the sensitivity of the sensor. And sometimes it still doesn't work. Robbie Carman: Yeah, that, that happens, and it's just really funny. I had a client the other day say to me well, I'm like, these cameras are so good these days. Why do I need lights? And I just kind of looked at him, kind of dumb expression on my face.
Rich Harrington: Photography. Robbie Carman: Right. Rich Harrington: Means capturing light. Robbie Carman: Yeah. And there are, there are going to be situations that you're going to find yourself a lot of times where you have to go above and beyond just these simple controls of the exposure triangle like exposure speed, aperture, and ISO. And you're going to have to think about doing things like lighting in the scene and adding some filtration perhaps if you're getting too over-exposed, pop in an ND filter or something like that. Rich Harrington: Well, too that end I'm just going to give you a really simple illustration here. I've got a light and I'm going to hit the backdrop.
The backdrop's fine, the cameras are exposed. But if it's not bright enough, if we were to tweak the cameras, it wouldn't give us the results. But if I needed more light on the backdrop, I can get more light on the backdrop. Let's just crank that up. And you see there it is. And I can dial that in to what we need. However, if I had too much light and I needed to knock it down Well, here I've got an ND filter. Look. It's essentially gone. All that light is basically removed that easily. And that's the simplest of the illustrations.
Robbie Carman: Mm-hm. Rich Harrington: Sometimes, you just can't get it in camera. It's not going to work. Robbie Carman: And there are a lot of situations that you know, also come up besides just lighting, besides just filtration. And some things to think about is you might have to bounce light or shape a light in a scene to get more light on the subject. We've explored that in previous episodes. You might have to do other techniques, like using silk or some sort of blocking device on set to sort of block out or cancel out light. So, there's a lot of ways that you can shape and do things when it comes to light in terms of exposure and that kind of stuff.
But I think the point really is, Rich, that a lot of people get frustrated with I got this awesome camera. Rich Harrington: Mm-hm. Robbie Carman: I got a great lens. And the footage still doesn't look the way that I want it to look. And in those situations, you have to think about going a little further with the ability to light a scene and be able to shape light a little bit. But also be able to use things like filters and other techniques to be able to cut down light when necessary. Rich Harrington: Yeah, so it's all about control. And with that in mind let's go out into the field where I work with the director of photography. And make some adjustments. We're going to explore situations when the camera settings just won't cut it.
And give you some ideas for both big budget and low budget, and how to still get great results.

Hey guys, last month I was in NYC to meet one of my favourite photographers, Rick Day. I contacted him, thinking he would never reply, asking if he would like to take nice pictures of me. He answered me within 5 minutes " Are you free tomorrow at 6:30pm? "
I jumped in a plane and the next day, I was shooting almost naked in his East Village studio. I was very stressed at first, even had to go to the bathroom, to concentrate and pinch myself, telling myself I was here, shooting with Rick Day. When I came in his studio, I was like "maybe he didn't see properly the photo of me that I sent him" or "he probably regrets inviting me" etc.
We were suppose to shoot for 45 minutes, and ended up shooting for 3 hours. We had a blast! I wanted to show you our work and of course to know your opinion about it. I won't put the photos that are tooooo suggestive (frontal nudity) but I don't mind showing a bit of butt. I think that Rick (and I) made something beautiful! So click "more" to see the photo I selected.
Thanks guys!

The most talked-about act before the competition, Austria's Conchita Wurst has won the Eurovision Song Contest in Copenhagen with "Rise Like a Phoenix", a very "007" power ballad.
The drag performer, whose real name is Tom Neuwirth, developed a consistent lead as voting progressed, and ended up with 290 points. The "bearded lady", as the 25-year-old is known, had stirred controversy especially in some eastern European countries like Russia, just to name one of them.
"This night is dedicated to everyone who believes in a future of peace and freedom. You know who you are. We are unity and we are unstoppable," the winner said as she was presented with the trophy.
Congratulations to Conchita Wurst, whose triumph gives Austria its first Eurovision victory since 1966.

Matthew McConaughey speech at yesterday's Oscars got different opinions from all over the world. Us Weekly called it a "touching" speech (really?) while Time called it "confounding" and "semi-bizarre".
I'll personally say that I'm a bit disappointed that McConaughey didn't mention HIV/AIDS once in his speech. Given that he won for the "Best Actor" award in his role playing a person with AIDS in "Dallas Buyers Club," you'd think maybe he could have paused his self-indulgent, self-congratulatory, self-obessed speech to mention — as did Jared Leto, who also won an Oscar playing a person with AIDS in "Dallas Buyers Club" — the "36 million people who have lost the battle to AIDS."
What do you guys think?
Check out both speech after the jump!

Valassis Hosts 'Dynamic Differences In The Haves And Have Nots' Webcast On June 18
LIVONIA, Mich., June 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Valassis (NYSE: VCI), a leader in intelligent media delivery, announced today that it will host a free webcast from 2 to 3 p.m. ET Tuesday, June 18 focused on the Haves and the Have Nots, two very different consumers groups–who they are and how their media usage and their shopping habits differ.
Therese Mulvey, Valassis Vice President of Marketing Intelligence, will present solutions on how to connect, influence and activate these consumers wherever they plan, shop, buy and share. This is the fourth year Mulvey has shared her expertise of the evolution of the consumer landscape in this popular Valassis Webcast on the media and consumer landscape.
"The new consumer landscape is one of 'Have' and 'Have Nots' with a shrinking middle class," Mulvey said. "These diverse groups have created a challenge for those who want to advertise to them as they are very different."
The Have and Have Nots are based on the current phenomenon that 40% of U.S. households account for 75% of the income and 60% of the households 25% of the income. Based on the mean household income, households that make $62,000 and above are considered Haves and under $62,000 are Have Nots. The webcast will explore the media habits and usage for both income-based audiences, what channels they're shopping, what quick service restaurants (QSRs) they frequent and which brands they prefer, and what ultimately motivates each group to buy.Highlights of the webcast include:
- The Have Nots might not have the money, but they do have the numbers. Find out in which categories they outspend the Haves;
- These groups have different buying styles and tend to respond to different offer types; and
- On the surface, the Have Nots and Haves have similar media habits, but a closer look at each groups' composition shows us just how different they really are.
