Syrian Activists Launch Petition to Reform Export Controls on Technology
EFF has long contended that existing export controls—maintained by the Departments of Treasury and Commerce—hinder the ability of activists in countries like Syria to communicate. Restrictions on the use of hosting services, antivirus tools, and even circumvention technology make the already-unsafe Syrian Internet even less safe for users. Meanwhile, the Syrian government has repeatedly circumvented sanctions for the purpose of surveilling citizens. These controls are not only ineffective, they're counterproductive.
Last week, our position was affirmed by an article in the Washington Post that quoted Syrian activist Dlshad Othman as saying that U.S. sanctions have made it "much harder and more time-consuming to get anti-surveillance tools installed on activists' phones and computers." (Note the article also referenced our recent joint effort to push companies to be more proactive in obtaining licenses and pushing for reform.)
And just yesterday, a new petition—authored by Othman—went live on Change.org. The petition is addressed to, among others, Senator John Kerry—who, as recently as 2010, was pushing for engagement with Syrian President Assad—and asks for two concrete actions: A new general license to clarify exemptions for personal communications and security technologies, and a streamlined process for giving clear formal and informal guidance to companies.
These actions are a step in the right direction, and will do a great deal of good in the short term. A general license could clear up questions about the current exemptions. For example, despite the fact that the existing general license states that web hosting services for personal communications are exempt, numerous hosting providers still refuse service to Syrians out of fear of falling afoul of the Commerce Department. Likewise, a better process for guidance would be of great help to companies, several of whom have privately stated frustration with the current process.
In the long term, however, we hope that the Obama administration will affirmatively make clear throughout its various agencies that providing digital communications and information tools to citizens around the world, especially those under repressive governments, is not only legal, but encouraged.

Costly mistakes will haunt top drivers
RICHMOND, Va.
For many of NASCAR's top competitors, Richmond will be remembered for the race that got away.
While race winner Kyle Busch exclaimed, "What up boys, we back," as he came to the checkered flag at Richmond International Raceway on Saturday night, Jimmie Johsnon, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Tony Stewart and Carl Edwards were trying to ascertain what went wrong.
Johnson's team lost control of a tire during pit stops on Lap 311. The No. 48 car, which had led a lap and was running in the top 10 most of the race, had to battle back from 14th after a penalty for that infraction. He salvaged a sixth-place finish.
Edwards led 206 laps throughout the evening and assumed he controlled the lead coming to the green flag after the fourth caution on Lap 319. However, Stewart was scored as the leader, and as he spun his tires, NASCAR accused Edwards of jumping the start and black-flagged the No. 99 Ford. Edwards was forced to serve a drive-thru penalty on Lap 321. He lined up 15th – the last car on the lead lap.
"What was the black flag for?" Edwards asked his team at the time. "If they say (NASCAR) made a mistake, they have to rectify it ... If they can give me an explanation, I'm curious as hell."
Crew chief Bob Osborne attempted to keep Edwards focused and replied, "They will in the truck after the race."
Edwards salvaged a 10th-place finish. He told the crew over the radio at the finish, "You did a really good job on pit road. We definitely got screwed there. I don't want anybody yelling or whining too much about it, all right? We'll talk about it with NASCAR. We'll tell everybody what happened and move on. I know we're frustrated. We're all frustrated."
While Edwards and team owner Jack Roush took their concerns to the NASCAR trailer, Stewart pouted about his pit crew's miscue on the final stop. Although Stewart started 22nd, he blazed through the field. Seventy laps in, he had moved to just outside the top 10. On Lap 200, Stewart led the first of his 118 laps at the front. During a 73-lap run at the point, NASCAR called a caution for debris on Lap 387.
"We lost (the race) on a plastic bottle on the backstretch," Stewart added, citing the debris. "For a caution for a plastic bottle, so you tell me how you'd feel?
"Hard to feel good about that one. We threw it away on pit road. I don't know what their malfunction was, but I'm pretty ticked off about it."
Stewart lost the lead to Busch in the pits. Although he restarted second when the race went green on Lap 392, Earnhardt soon passed him for position. But with a set of soft brakes, Earnhardt felt fortunate just to salvage a top-five result.
"Good job, good cars, we'll just work on the brakes a little bit," Earnhardt said over the radio. Crew chief Steve Letarte, ever the optimist, was quick to remind his driver that second place "was a helluva lot better than we were here last year," when the team posted finishes of 19th in the spring and 16th in the fall. Earnhardt agreed.
"We outran a couple of guys there that were faster than us all night," Earnhardt said. "Just got lucky on that restart being on the inside. We had some brake problems all night long. Kinda tried to overcome them best we could. We were a top, maybe a fifth-place car. I'm really happy to gain a couple of spots there at the end with that caution and get some more points."
Earnhardt's second-place finish, which elevated the driver to second in the points standings (five points behind leader Greg Biffle, who finished 18th) proved more beneficial than the finishes of Stewart or Edwards, who maintained eighth and ninth, respectively, in the standings.
Although the winless streak grew to 138 races, Earnhardt remained optimistic.
"(Hendrick Motorsports) built a great race car," Earnhardt said. "Our team did a good job on pit road. We're just trying to click away some good runs. We want to win a race or two here and there. If we keep running up front, that will happen."
Honorable mentions
While it's hard to believe, Kasey Kahne earned his first top-five finish of the season at Richmond on Saturday night.
Kahne, who has endured a rash of bad luck over the first six races of the year, posted his third consecutive top 10 of the season and broke into the top 25 in the points standings with his fifth-place finish.
"We're definitely trying to run top 10, top five, do the best we can," Kahne said. "Once we get things figured out, hopefully we can get a couple of wins. Right now the guys are doing a good job. We had good pit stops tonight. It was a pretty solid race for us. We made gains throughout so it was good."
Paul Menard finished 13th after starting 35th in a backup car, having wrecked his primary during first practice on Friday. Menard maintained 14th in the points standings.
Numbers game
4: Consecutive victories for Kyle Busch in the spring Richmond race.
24: Career wins for Kyle Busch, which ties him with his brother Kurt for 26th on the all-time wins list.
5: Positions gained by Mark Martin in the points standings after finishing eighth — the most of any competitor. Despite missing two of the first nine races of the season, Martin is 19th in the standings.
Say what?
AJ Allmendinger qualified fourth and was running in the top 10 for most of the race until Juan Pablo Montoya punted the No. 22 Dodge late in the race. The incident caused Allmendinger to lose several positions before dropping to 16th. However, before Allmendinger was lapped, he asked the crew: "Is that the leader behind me?'' When the question was answered in the affirmative, he added, "That's awesome." That earned the reply from an unidentified voice on the No. 22 radio, "Why don't you focus on driving and quit (complaining)."

Like clockwork, IDC's PC shipment forecasts keep falling while its tablet forecasts keep rising. Following weak February Chinese sales, the research firm thinks global Q1 shipments could see a double-digit Y/Y drop, worse than a prior forecast for a 7.7% decline. It also thinks Q2 shipments could see a mid-single-digit drop ahead of a possible 2H recovery (made easier by favorable Y/Y comps). Two weeks ago, IDC forecast full-year shipments would drop 1.3%, which itself was worse than a prior outlook for a 2.8% increase. [View news story]

Pearson 26 Rigging - Bent Forestay Turnbuckle
Came in from a sail this past Sunday and noticed that the lower end around the forestay turnbuckle is pretty well bent. Doesnt look like the upper is bent but the lower obviously is. Pictures here:
https://picasaweb.google.com/1165138...J7S65TT8__YBQ# You'll note that I included a picture from last fall (after scouring iPhoto) that also seems to show the bend. No idea how this has gone unnoticed before. We've been out sailing in some Gusty-ish winds (20-25+) on the bay before and fortunately haven't had the mast come down I suppose. Anyone ever seen such a thing before? The stem head fitting on Dan Pfeiffer's site is not curved (like mine is), but after also scouring google images I noticed some other P26s with curved stem head fittings. Anyway the objective now is to fix it. According to Dan Pfeiffer the forestay is 7/32 diameter wire and Navtec open body style turnbuckles. His site has the following listed: 1 TURNBUCKLE, s/s, 7/16" pin x 3/8" screw Are these the correct parts I need? The 7/16 pin and 3/8 screw he has listed is throwing me off. Turnbuckle: Navtec Open Body Turnbuckles - Swage Terminal / Toggle Screw: Navtec Turnbuckle Screw Will the stainless screw cause galvic corrosion when in contact with the chromed bronze turnbuckle? Ive read chromed bronze is better than S/S so wanted to get the best if replacing. I sail in the Upper Chesapeake. Thanks in advice for all the help! |
Re: Pearson 26 Rigging - Bent Forestay Turnbuckle
I agree that chromed bronze turnbuckle is better than stainless steel. After some time stainless steel is very hard to operate. Bronze ones work much better and I didnot notice any galvanic action.
Re: Pearson 26 Rigging - Bent Forestay Turnbuckle
Unscrew the damaged parts and take to the West Marine store. Ask clerk "Can you fix this bent part?"
Re: Pearson 26 Rigging - Bent Forestay Turnbuckle
Defender carries a good selection of turnbuckles and turnbuckle parts, including chromed bronze ones.
Defender.com Search Results: turnbuckles As long as the swaged threaded section on the headstay is fine, get one that matches the thread and change everthing else. |
Re: Pearson 26 Rigging - Bent Forestay Turnbuckle
I naturally think...WTF? Looks like either your boat has run into a dock or another boat or another boat (or dock) has run into you. Do you every tie off in your slip backed in? Anyway...besides how it happened, it should be easy to fix. Use your jib halyard to act as a forestay while you have the bent part off. Should be a quick fix.
Re: Pearson 26 Rigging - Bent Forestay Turnbuckle
A bit of a delay but thank you for all of the responses everyone. I've finally found the correct turn buckle and screw and will have everything fixed this weekend.

Escape from Planet Earth 3D(2013)Astronaut Scorch Supernova finds himself caught in a trap when he responds to an SOS from a notoriously dangerous alien planet. For more about Escape from Planet Earth 3D and the Escape from Planet Earth 3D Blu-ray release, see Escape from Planet Earth 3D Blu-ray Review published by Martin Liebman on May 28, 2013 where this Blu-ray release scored 4.0 out of 5. Director: Cal Brunker Writers: Bob Barlen, Cal Brunker Starring: Brendan Fraser, Sarah Jessica Parker, Jessica Alba, Jane Lynch, Rob Corddry, Craig Robinson » See full cast & crew Escape from Planet Earth 3D Blu-ray, Video QualityEscape from Planet Earth ships with both its 2D and 3D version on separate discs in the same box; at this time there are no individual releases, so those wanting only 2D will be stuck buying a 3D copy along with it. The good news is that the movie looks fantastic. The 2D image yields an unbelievably bright color palette. It's vibrant and satisfying in every shot, very even and well defined, no matter the place, time, lighting, or any other factors. From the most brilliant shades of blue and red to the most subtle, underscored earthen tones seen in the desert exteriors, the film's colors dazzle from start to finish. Details are just as impressive. The image is texturally refined, handling all extremes -- the very smooth glossy Baab surfaces and several heavily textured uniforms both -- with no issues at all. The finest little alien skin details, the graphics on displays and little touches on advanced machinery, even tiny pebbles and the sand seen in the desert exteriors look amazing. Image clarity is second-to-none and there's a nice sense of space and depth even in the 2D version. Black levels are stunning throughout, and there are no signs of any banding, blocky backgrounds, or other unattractive eyesores. In short, this is an animated 2D image to dream about. The included 3D transfer is itself no slouch. Anchor Bay's extra-dimensional presentation generally yields very good results, though to be sure there's an occasional absence of tremendous depth, including some scenes that don't look too far removed from their 2D counterpart. The occasionally bland 3D effect is offset by some tremendous visuals. The film opens with a particularly cool and novel effect of snow falling through the screen and even beyond the bottom "black bar," creating an effect that seems to blur the boundary between visual and screen. The same effect may be seen a bit later in a shot of shattering glass. Some scenes yield positively tremendous 3D effect. An early exterior space shot of Planet Baab shows faultless spacing; outer space seems to stretch to infinity, while the planet and the rings around it are perfectly realized. The transfer also retains the same striking qualities found on the 2D-only image. Colors are vibrant in every scene; whether the glossy whites, the glowing 7-Eleven signage, background computer readouts and buttons, or colorful monsters, the diverse palette never misses a beat. Details, too, are excellent, again whether handling shiny-glossy Planet Baab instrument clusters, textured alien skin, or complex uniform details. Blacks are perfect, not at all darker than the 2D version. All around, this is a very high quality 3D effort from Anchor Bay. Escape from Planet Earth 3D Blu-ray, Audio QualityEscape from Planet Earth features an exemplary DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 lossless soundtrack. From the outset, listeners are treated to a deep, big-stage sound that finds excellent balance and soundstage distribution. Main elements are of course handled by the front, but the surrounds carry a healthy amount of content, too, all in good working balance and order. Clarity is commendable even through the moments that play with the widest soundstage in the most challenging elements, including big music or swooping action effects. The former, the music, enjoys that big stage range while the latter features the same with plenty of discrete information to go along with an abundance of wide, spacious, in-motion sound elements that find a realistic precision in every scene. As it pumps out the big effects so well, so too do the little ambient effects shine through. Anchor Bay's track handles buzzing neon lights, the business end of electrified prodders, and nighttime insects with a natural, pinpoint effect that helps balance the track and bring to life the most critically nuanced elements. Dialogue plays evenly and accurately from the center. In short, a perfect soundtrack.

NWAR: Trench Warfare
Detective Nwar gets his hands dirty for a political campaign.
4.41 / 5.00 2,829 ViewsAn another episode of a Pencilmation History of the World taking place in ancient Egypt where we encounter a finicky pharaoh!
it's funny, because I said, "Now its just his tomb", and the pencil writes, "His tomb.", as if he knew people were thinking that.
"The only thing that I don't find so funny is that the pyramid became his tomb. And the faraos grave isn't in the same place as the pyramid. It's in the valley of the kings or something."
Yes it is. :)
That's how i see Egypt...almost...
creepologist,you just don't understand that it's ANCIENT EGYPT,you stupid son of a bitch and hater.
this was one of his worst in my perspective becuase the drawing was not mad at the pencil and the pencil was just interacting with the paper >:C

I hate my feet, they're HUGE!!! You know, my fat feet are bigger than my mom's and I'm in seventh grade. One time our math teacher made us take off our shoes.and the girl next to me had feet that were smaller than my hand, seriously, she wore a six.

Beware the software "safety zone": 4 ways most churches select ChMS — for better or for worse
FACILITIES, LEADERSHIP, Operations, Software, TECHNOLOGY Friday, February 6th, 2015If you're involved with the administration, IT or some aspect of the support / business side of a church, you most likely have had some experience with what's affectionately called "ChMS," or church management software. How do you choose? How do you make the right choice? Is it too confusing? Do you throw your arms in the air or throw a dart at a list on your wall?
As I've interviewed many administrators, IT directors, event coordinators and the like, it's clear that most church leaders make their decisions in one of four ways.

Each Pokémon region has it's own famous boat, responsible for transporting trainers and Pokémon around the region. In Unova this boat is called the Royal Unova.
As soon as you defeat the Pokémon League and subsequently receive the National Dex then the Royal Unova will become accessible from its port in Castelia City. It costs 1,000 to sail on the Royal Unova and sails once per day, only departing within a certain block which varies between seasons:
Season | Time |
Winter | 4pm-7pm |
Spring | 5pm-8pm |
Summer | 7pm-9pm |
Autumn | 5pm-8pm |
The boat travels along the Castelia City seafront, under the Skyarrow Bridge, up towards Marvelous Bridge and then back towards Castelia City. As soon as this journey is complete your boat journey will end, so you will only have a limited time to explore the ship per journey. Alternatively, you can climb onto the top deck and watch the journey. It's a rather nice, 3D animation actually.
But the main reason you will want to come here are the trainers. They will rebattle you every day and will sometimes give you items for beating them. The items they will give you vary randomly between Berry Juice, Lava Cookie, Old Gateau, Ragecandybar and a Rare Candy.
Only 9 different trainers can be found on the Royal Unova. And here they are!
