In addition to the tremendous amount of good that it has created, the Internet has also created its fair share of bad, along with those only too eager to cross the line and take unethical or unlawful advantage of others.
One of the more curious examples of Internet misbehavior this year celebrated its ten-year anniversary of being officially recognized. Cybersquatting, the using of a "domain name" for a Web site that rightfully belongs to someone else, was made illegal by the 1999 Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act.
A domain name is a Web site's address expressed in an individual and memorable way, typically using words or names, such as "yourname.com." Companies and other organizations often use their trademarked name in their Web site's domain name.
Cybersquatters register domain names in hope of forcing a company or individual to buy it from them (at a huge profit), to gain online advertising revenue resulting from Web surfers mistakenly going to a fake site instead of a genuine one, and even as a "phishing" tool to trick surfers into revealing credit card and other personal financial information in order to steal from them.
Some of the findings of a new study about cybercrime in general by Symantec, maker of Internet security software, are startling:
Reports like these issued by those selling protective products tend to emphasize worst-case scenarios. Instead of being a time-sapping hassle, recovering from the theft of credit card information may simply involve getting issued a new credit card and updating your information with any online vendors and payment services you use.
Still, being a savvy consumer means being aware of the potential downside; using up-to-date Internet security software; keeping your operating system, Web browser, and other programs up to date; and knowing the security threats that are out there.
Despite being outlawed ten years ago, cybersquatting unfortunately is still alive and well. The numbers in fact can seem astronomical. The telecommunications and broadband company Verizon Communications has had to shut down thousands of sites using domain names that were related to its businesses.
Because of numbers like this, it can take a while for a brand owner to find and go after bogus sites, according to a recent study by Mark Monitor, a domain registrar that also monitors domain-name abuse for corporate clients. The study found that 80 percent of abusive sites identified in 2007 were still active more than a year later.
Along with well-known companies such as Verizon and Microsoft, another frequent target of cybersquatters are celebrities such as rock star Bruce Springsteen and actor Kevin Spacey. But anybody can become a victim.
Companies and individuals can monitor the Web themselves for instances of cybersquatting. At the simplest, use Google to search for relevant terms. DomainTools lets you do various kinds of more specialized searches related to domain names. At the high end, "
cyber intelligence" firms such as Cyveillance charge $5,000 to $10,000 per year to monitor the Web for domain-name abuse.
Various remedial actions are available as well. Least expensively, you can file a complaint with a dispute-resolution service offered by such groups as the World Intellectual Property Organization's Arbitration and Mediation Center or the National Arbitration Forum's Domain Name Disputes.
Alternately, you could hire a lawyer, with law firms such The GigaLaw Firm specializing in this and related intellectual property and technology issues.
As a Web surfer, to avoid winding up at a cybersquatting site, the most comprehensive action is to use one of the Internet security suites and to keep it up to date. Internet security suites from companies such as Symantec and McAfee do a good job of warning you when you're about to visit a site that may be out to get you.

Why I love the Small Block Chevy
I installed my first Chevy Small Block in my 40 Ford coupe in 1968, as you know their were a lot less Hot Rods than there are now . It was not a cookie cutter install as it is now , I will agree that it seems all most every new Hot Rod built has a Small Block Chevy motor, mustang II front end and a Ford 9 inch rear end . along with a 350, 400, or 700R4 Chevy Trans . This package works great and everyone knows it , sure there are other great engines packages and trans you could use, but today there are a lot of guys who have cars built that want to have what every one else has . Should they be criticized for it, I don't think so . You could say the same thing about everyone using the Ford 9" rear end, and the mustang II front end , but there again it has proven to be a great package, so I think we all need to take a deep breath and relax and not worry what every one is doing in this great hobby, and just enjoy each and every Hot Rod and be glad that we can.

Maybe missing the point....
Lets face it, we are all here to modify what we have, if we were happy with stock or restored cars this site would not exist. I think the point Centerline is trying to make is why be satisfied with just a 350/350/9 inch simply because that is what the aftermarket tools up for when making frames, mounts,kit chassis, etc.??? I could have left the stock 223 in the Kustomsledd alone and concentrated on just doing bodywork and adding air ride. I chose the big Caddy 472/400/8 inch because it's different, eye catching appeal, plenty of power for me in stock(reliable) configuration, and I don't think anyone else within 500 miles of me has one "just like it". To me the cost factor does'nt have anything to do with it. I traded some parts for others, bought some, and when I make mounts it takes the same amount of time for whatever brand engine/trans. To me the fun is in building so why would I buy pre-made mounts? If I wanted a small Chevy it takes the same time and materials cost as the Caddy mounts did. I bought my motor for $175 from a Mich buddy, and drove 100 miles roundtrip to get it. My local yards want about the same no matter what the brand.... Seems the Chevy fans are taking this as a rip on 'their' brand, I wonder if the thread would have the same impact if the subject was... "Why I hate the 9 inch Ford rearend..." |
Well said Doc. People are jumping in without ever reading the original essay and they have NO clue what this conversation is all about so they get their dander all up and have a hissy fit.
One more thing...
They are called OPINIONS, the topic of this thread is an OPINION, not a means to bash a particular brand. The only thing mentioned was the proliferation of Chevy motors in the cars at the shows or in the magazines. Sameness leads to boredom... so that is why I look for cars with ANYTHING but a small Chevy V-8... not because I hate them, just there are only so many ways to dress them up before they become common as the pattern on the wallpaper.... hey now there's an idea. I should make up computer wallpaper with a bunch of pics of small Chevys, and post it up and you all can debate about where the pattern repeats itself...
For those who missed it....GO HERE for the Original Essay by Centerline Why I have grown to hate the Small Block Chevy..... an essay I have a sbc in my hot rod and the essay did not piss me off. The essay was one mans opinion...and he is entitled to that. Its no big deal to me. I have used Y-blocks, wedge heads, flat heads, nail heads, and Olds Rockets in the past. I liked them all. I just build what I have access to or can get. My next one will probably be a sbc again as I have aquired a really nice tri-power set-up for one.

See there........I did not get pissed at Centerline..........Centerline did not get pissed at me. We respected each others opinions even though they differed. Now ...Whats wrong with the rest of you guys??? Sheeeeesh!
I read the essay, twice actually, and it didnt piss me off I saw alot of points I agree with and some I did not (that is if you read my posts as well). I presented an alternative point of view complimentary yet slightly contradictive to the threads originator. Again I saw alot of valid points in the original essay, nothing to get mad about but to incite some good ol' fashioned debate. That said to add to me and centerlines pissin' match (that has nothing to do with SBC's)
Nuff said now that thats over with..... lets talk about old crap thats worth talkin bout, in between of working on my doctorate in my "spare time" and flying helicopters for a living I gotta get some sort of release that doesnt involve heavy thinking or the responsibility of 36 million bucks in hardware and four lives.... |
Why I Love the Small Block Chevy
As you all know the only outside difference from A Chevy Small Block and A Ford is where the Distributor sets, may be some head differences . They have all the same dress up parts available so in reality they all get to look alike, unless you are running a Hemi . So if you are running a Old's , Caddy , Hemi or something else , more power to all of you if it makes you think you have used your imagination or were more inspired and not a lazy as the rest of us. I my self still know that the Chevy Small Block was right for me in my car , and to all of you that run the same welcome to the club , I still say it don't make a hoot what you run in your Hot Rod as long as it makes you happy , and we all need to enjoy the hobby, and each other rides with out being so critical . FAT40 |
I yawn as I go by the motors in most cars in any given show as most folks do, and that's exactly why I decided to break away from the pack. I dropped a SBF and driveline into my '39 Chev and I get reactions...nasty remarks from the mental hillbillies, pats on the back and handshakes from the Ford guys, good natured poking from the chevy guys, collective discussions from the technical minded as they hover over the engine, photos up the wazzoo...no yawns...

They are charging innocent, desperate people thousands of dollars and have no proof the treatment works even after about 10 years. And they say they don't need evidence.
I am getting to the point where I am not feeling so sorry about gullible adults. But we are talking about a child here who will be put through a bunch of treatments that have never been shown to work. He is going to miss some school when he gets the surgery. He probably shouldn't be wasting time with other stuff. Don't you care about this kid at all?

Is it still not okay to add any trivia yet? Because I just watched this episode, and at one point ( right after Misty states to the gym leader guy she wouldn't get involved with a kid like Ash, and Ash is standing next to Tacey, he says " she's the kid") you can see Tracey's right hand was drawn like a sort of clay-foot thing.--Spongeenthusiast 00:54, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
- First of all, no, it isn't okay to add trivia yet, and two, I don't think that really counts as trivia, more like an error or something. :--SuperAipom7 (Questions?) 00:59, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

A Dangerous Place
[tweetmeme source="anotherangle360″]
The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it.
–Albert Einstein
I hadn't heard this quote before this weekend. It happened to be on a sign carried by a lone protester outside the entrance to the Penn State football game, standing by the Joe Paterno statue. Needless to say, his presence and message wasn't appreciated by some of the PSU faithful, though he stated that he was once "one of them" but now had a different perspective as a family man in the wake of these recent events.
Another article in today's (Nov 12) NY Times also caught my eye in what I felt had a related message, titled "For Disabled Care Complaints, Vow of Anonymity Was False." (http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/12/nyregion/ombudsmen-gave-whistle-blowers-names-to-state-agency.html?src=me&ref=nyregion). A spokesman for the agency, Travis Proulx, said in an interview in August that "there is no confidentiality for any employee who is reporting abuse or neglect, even to the ombudsman." Is it any wonder that people are afraid to step forward?
Organizations, including universities, are in many ways closed systems with their own methods for defining and living values (http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/12/us/on-college-campuses-athletes-often-get-off-easy.html?ref=ncaafootball). See also the recent news story about the Texas judge who has been exposed via YouTube of his own brand of values inside his "organization,", i.e., his family (http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/13/us/ruling-against-judge-seen-beating-daughter.html?scp=1&sq=texas%20judge%20belt&st=cse). Without getting into legalities and regulation and the such, let us focus on the fact that organizations (of any kind) need some sort of internal processes, formal and/or informal, to define proper behavior and to rectify instances of wrongdoing.
Whatever the unit of analysis, the definition of "evil" is a very subjective process. In an earlier blog, I pointed to some research that suggested that some questionable practices are more acceptable in some industries than in others (https://dwbracken.wordpress.com/2011/03/15/what-is-normal/). And I do believe that organizations have the right to define their values and to hold employees accountable for behaving in ways consistent with those values. Some actions are egregious that they are universally rejected (at least within certain cultures), including those exhibited by psychopaths as described in the book, Snakes in Suits.
One of the many benefits of doing a system-wide (e.g., company, department) 360 feedback process is the opportunity it creates for miscreants to be identified through anonymous input from coworkers. If system-wide, they hopefully also detect psychopaths and the such who are also very skilled at escaping detection. Unlike other "whistle blowing," 360's rely on a consensus from feedback providers that theoretically protects both the raters and the ratees. The data generated by 360's is reported in aggregate form, usually requiring a minimum of three respondents to create a mean score. Assuming the organization has access to these scores, they can be analyzed to detect particularly low mean scores that indicate that the leader in question is being cited by multiple coworkers as being out of synch with the rest of the organization.
So what do we need to do to make our 360 processes useful for detecting misbehavior and protecting both the raters and the ratees alike? Some suggestions include:
- Be clear as to the purpose of the process
- Require participation by all organizational leaders
- Give access to results to the organization (including HR and management)
- Strictly adhere to minimum group size requirements for reporting results (e.g., minimum of 3)
- Use a well designed behavioral model to form the basis for the content.
- Include write in comments.
- Train users (managers, HR) on the proper interpretation and use of results
- Administer on a regular (annual) basis
- Immediately address instances of leaders seeking retribution against raters (real or inferred)
Any other suggestions?

Interesting piece as usual.
Wanted to comment on one of your bullet points. You suggested that data of the process be available to all of the organization.
I couldn't agree more with your assertion.that the data collected needs to be evaluated and leveraged by the organization as a whole. I have run across many organizations who strongly insist multirater assessment data be only for the eyes of the assessed individual.
It seems that in our politically correct world, the desire to use 360s for development and not personnel decisions (I agree) has abetted the decision to deliver results only to the individual being assessed – not the individuals manager, nor the senior leadership of an organization. and in some cases not even HR or the arm of the organization responsible for employee training and development.
As obvious as it seems to make individual results available to the development assets w/in an organization, it's also a missed opportunity if population data is not made available to managers and senior leadership. I am sure I will get some push back here but a properly designed assessment that is aligned with organizational objectives can provide rich "directional" data on whether the assessed population is performing and raise some flags as to why not.
360s vary in their ability to "roll up the data", many do provide valuable data that illuminate population wide trends of both strengths and areas that may be affecting performance towards objectives.
I could not agree more that training on rating is crtitical. One reason people may do nothing when confronted by poor behavior let alone evil behavior is becasue of built in bias's that we all have. For instance, if you feel that the person you are observing is similar to yourself, you are less likely to be critical of that person, there are hundreds of these "bias's" and the onoy way to overcome them is through education and training.
Here is a question I would like to hear people's thoughts upon. It is well known that another reason people tend not to take action when confronted with a situation (accident, crime etc.), is if they are in a crowd they assume that someone else better qualified or more knowledgeable will act and so it removes some of the drive to act themselves. So in a 360 if there are multiple peer ratings or multiple subordinate ratings could there be a positiveness bias? In other words due to their being multiple raters, each rating may not be delivering the "bad news" assuming others better suited and more qualified will deliver the tough message? Has anyone every looked at rater bias when someone thought they were the only rater vs. one of many? Again training would seem to be the only way around this.

DT Is Devoted To Documenting Significant Initiatives That Relate To Any And All Aspects Of Digital Textbooks, Most Notably Their Use In Higher Education
Tuesday, April 10, 2012
The Puzzling State of Digital Textbook Sales
In a recent OnCampus Research study, sales data from 45 college and university campus bookstores around the U.S. showed that there was a surprising decrease in digital course material sales by 6.7%. Community college bookstores saw a drastic decline in sales by 70.4%. While 45 colleges represent a mere fraction of the overall picture, these college campuses were chosen to reflect a microcosm of higher education. [snip].
So with the recent increase of tablets and mobile phone use by students, as well as a renewed emphasis on adopting new technology on campus, why are some college stores experiencing a decline in the sale of digital course material?
Based on the research, here are 3 reasons why we might be seeing this trend.
1. Adoption is hard. [snip]/ There has to be more innovation in the digital textbook space, coupled with heavy adoption by campus administrators, before we'll see a widespread adoption of digital materials by students.
2. Custom publishing doesn't always work, either. In the OnCampus Research study, university stores saw a 9.1% decrease in custom publishing sales. [snip]
3. Students are opting for rental. [snip]. According to a research study conducted by Q&A Research in 2011, 21% of students rented their textbooks, with 45% of the respondents either not having the option to rent or not knowing about rentals at all. For future reference, 67% of the total students questioned said they would have been likely to rent textbooks if given the option.
Even though this report provides only a preliminary glance into the economics of the textbook market, the data does paint a general picture of how the textbook and digital course materials markets are changing. [snip]. As we've said before, publishers will have to get creative with digital content, and ensure that universities are adopting new technologies on campus.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) – VISIT FLORIDA and Google are giving "couch surfing" a whole new meaning.
With the new Florida Beach Finder website, visitors can now use any computer or tablet to digitally dig their toes in the sand and tour more than 740 miles of the 825 miles of the state's shoreline.
It's part of a venture between VISIT FLORIDA, the state's official marketing tourism agency, and Google's Street Trekker Loan Program.
From Miami Beach to St. George Island, visitors can now walk every inch of Florida's sandy shores.
WTXL was there in the summer of 2013 as Google trekkers were capturing images of St. George Island in Franklin County. It was part of a four-month long trek to capture Florida's beaches to create a 360 degree panoramic experience.
VIDEO (August 6, 2013)
The tours are posted on www.VisitFlorida.com/beachfinder. Here's how it works.
Visitors can "tune" their preferences based on four categories, basing results on your interest in a beach. The more "tune" your preference, the variation of results you'll get.
VIDEO (Paul Phipps with VISIT FLORIDA appeared on WTXL Sunrise on May 21, 2014 to talk about the new website and the impact it'll have on the state's tourism industry.)
PHOTOS:See more photos from Google Trekkers capturing photos from St. Georgia Island. (Courtesy: All photos by Colin Hackley for VISIT FLORIDA)
Just like Google Maps' traditional street view program, you can then digitally walk the beach of your choice. Along the way you'll be able to see some of the attractions and learn about vacation at that area.
"For potential visitors, it's an opportunity to dig their virtual toes into any of Florida's beaches – and find their dream beach before they come. For Florida, it's an opportunity to showcase that we have the greatest variety of beach experiences in the world," said Susannah Costello, VISIT FLORIDA Vice President, Global Brand.

Bruce Willis doesn't have a great track record when it comes to comedies. I am in the minority that liked Hudson Hawk, but even I'm not a fan of The Whole Nine Yards (haven't seen the sequel). This is a Bruce Willis comedy directed by Kevin Smith, with the added talent of Tracy Morgan...
Yeah... it bites. Let's not beat around the bush, this is simply a bad movie.
In this movie, two cops, trough an unlikely set of circumstances, become involved in a major drug trafficking ring and hilarity ensues. This isn't breakthrough in terms of plot, and there aren't any surprises here. The only thing that marginally saves it are the characters, with the unlikely pairing of Willis and Morgan being treated completely straight and so it works. The characters have moments of realness, in between the wacky hijinks.
But this movie isn't saved by the acting. Tracy Morgan isn't Paul Hodges as much as he's Tracy Morgan. I've seen 30 Rock, and this character isn't far removed from that one. As for Bruce Willis, I don't know what the hell he was doing in this movie. He clearly wasn't engaged on any level, and looked as bored as the audience was. (Okay, there were a few laughs, but mostly just 'yeah, I see that, that's slightly amusing that is, glad I saw that'...)
I paid money for this, so now I can judge it. And my judgment is: save your own money.

I enjoyed Hudson Hawke as well. Especially how they used songs for timing their heists.

Hi, artists,
I'm Sergio and I'm the CEO of Awoker Games and Game designer of Phoenix Force, the #1 fantasy boss shooter game: www.PhoenixForceGame.com
I need a 1 minute promotional animation to tease players about the game and the new features. This video will be part of a crowdfunding campaign and will be the new trailer of the game.
This is the proposed storyboard for the animation, where a few scenes are going to be recorded in-game, but most will be created specifically by you.

Suppose, at the start of the year, you had 100 shares in Thomas Cook. At £2 each, you could have made enough for a package holiday to the Med. While there are still plenty of £199 deals, selling the shares at yesterday's price would not even buy a one-way ticket on the Gatwick Express.
Thomas Cook is the strongest brand in travel, with a tradition that stretches back 170 years. So how could it go so badly wrong? Partly misfortune, and partly mismanagement.
It is easy for fellow countrymen of Thomas Cook (the person) to imagine that Thomas Cook (the company) is composed only of high-street travel agencies selling mainstream package holidays with flights on Thomas Cook Airlines. In fact, Thomas Cook (the multinational business) is a lot more complicated – which could, ultimately, prove its salvation.
The move into Russia was, as they say, a good idea at the time. But key destinations for Russians are Egypt and Thailand. When the former overheated and the latter overflowed, bookings were hammered. Bad luck, but the one certainty in this industry of human happiness is that things will always go wrong – and holiday firms need deep pockets to respond. Mr Cook's pockets were once happily filled with earnings from the package holiday business.
Unfortunately, the internet bestowed anyone with a broadband connection the ability to assemble flights, hotels and a rental car. The past couple of years, from ash cloud to Arab Spring, have also been particularly cruel to Thomas Cook, but the firm should have moved away from commoditised two-star Mediterranean holidays much earlier.
The management failed to read its own brochure – at least the current Club 18-30 edition. It explains: "We're always changing. That's because you are always changing too. New fashions. New music. New attitudes." Arch-rival Tui realised much earlier that the future lies in differentiation, in specialist adventure and activity holidays, and in combining brand and brute force in the market place to deliver outstanding experiences at competitive prices. The collapse of the share price does not presage the biggest collapse in travel – unless fearful customers shy away from Thomas Cook in the post-Christmas sales surge. I'll be buying, knowing that my money is safe thanks to Atol protection, and confident the holiday will go ahead.
The firm remains a robust organisation and going concern, but five years from now will be a lot leaner and fitter. Which, sadly, means job losses. Thomas Cook's core strength is that it remains a trusted brand, which is just what travellers need when stepping out of the comfort zone.

Ad Age: How NOT to Conduct a Social Media Campaign
1 Comment so far
Leave a comment
The college football season is nearly over, so it must be time to start complaining about the lack of a playoff system. To get ahead of the curve, the BCS launched a social media campaign last week touting its effectiveness, but Advertising Age takes the campaign to task for simply spewing propaganda rather than engaging fans.

Not that I'm a fan of BCS, but I thought this was an interesting article about the organization's reasoning behind its social media campaign — http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/thelife/news/story?id=4694320.

On the last day of kindergarten, all the children brought presents for their teacher. The florist's son handed the teacher a gift. She shook it, held it up and said, "I bet I know what it is! It's some flowers?"
"That's right!" shouted the little boy.
Then the candy store owner's daughter handed the teacher a gift She held it up, shook it and said. "I bet I know what it is! It's a box of candy?"

The next gift was from the liquor store owner's son. The teacher held it up and saw that it was leaking. She touched a drop with her finger and tasted it. "Is it wine?" she asked.
"No," the boy answered.
The teacher touched another drop to her tongue. "Is it champagne?" she asked.
"No," the boy answered.
Finally, the teacher said, "I give up. What is it?"

Jewish World Review Feb. 28, 2008 / 22 Adar I 5768 Hit the road Jack By Cal Thomas
http://www.JewishWorldReview.com | The argument one hears most often for not enforcing illegal immigration laws is that we can't deport the estimated 12 million people already in this country. It just isn't physically, tactically or politically possible, say people who think this way.
Maybe not, but authorities can start with people who not only broke laws to get here, but are breaking more laws now that they are here.
Virginia's Republican Attorney General, Robert McDonnell, is beginning the deportation process with a class of people not even the most vehemently pro-immigrant activist should defend. They are sex offenders and McDonnell, working in cooperation with the Virginia State Police and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials, has identified 171 people who have been convicted of sex crimes. Some are illegal aliens, others have legal status, but their convictions violate the conditional terms of their residency and make them subject to deportation.
In a telephone interview from Richmond, McDonnell told me that because federal statutes have pre-empted what states can do on most immigration issues, Virginia had to look for ways to initiate deportation of criminal sex offenders while working with the federal government. Asked whether the targeting of illegal alien sex offenders is the first step toward going after other criminal aliens, McDonnell said, "We're planning to do all of them. My position is that criminal illegal aliens or criminal aliens have forfeited their right to be in the country. There is broad agreement, regardless of which side people are on in the illegal immigration debate, that the criminal alien should be detained and deported."
Every weekday NewsAndOpinion.com publishes what many in the media and Washington consider "must-reading". HUNDREDS of columnists and cartoonists regularly appear. Sign up for the daily update. It's free. Just click here. One northern Virginia jurisdiction with a high illegal alien population is the city of Manassas. In response to intense citizen complaints, the Manassas City Council has authorized local police to begin checking the immigration status of people they arrest for any crime. If they find the suspects are in the country illegally, they are now authorized to begin deportation proceedings. On March 3, neighboring Prince William County will begin implementing a similar program to crackdown on illegals. These two jurisdictions are in sync with what McDonnell is now doing statewide.
Immigrant rights leader Ricardo Juarez of Mexicans Without Borders (a name that tells you something about his goal) is quoted in The Washington Examiner newspaper as saying, "This policy will only make the situation � worse and will drive people out." Precisely. That is the intent of the program; to drive criminal illegal aliens out, preferably back to where they came from and especially if they have twice violated our laws.
Not all of the Virginia sex offenders fit the demographic stereotype. Yes, most are from Mexico, or Central and South American countries, but quite a few are from other nations, including Ethiopia, India, Iran, Thailand, even Scotland. So this is not about ethnicity. It is about breaking the law.
The issue of illegal immigration and most especially that of criminal aliens should be a major issue in the presidential campaign. It is bad enough when immigration activists countenance the breaking of our laws and defend people who do it; it is something else when they attempt to defend sex offenders and others who have broken other laws while here.
There is no right to come to America, but there is an obligation to obey the same laws everyone else has to obey or suffer the consequences. Virginia and at least two of its jurisdictions are onto something. Other states and localities might wish to consider a similar approach.
The federal government seems to be getting the message. Perhaps shamed by Virginia, immigration officials, according to the Washington Post, are now actively "scouring jails and courts nationwide" to identify immigrants who qualify for deportation. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) reports that in a 12-month period ending last Sept. 30, "it placed 164,000 criminals in deportation proceedings," an increase from the 64,000 the agency identified and placed in deportation proceedings the previous year. ICE "estimates the number will rise to 200,000 this year."
It's a start.

An Address to the Chicago City Council
Members of the City Council, I stand before you today to offer you my congratulations for your diligent efforts in ferreting out the past support of slavery by the Wachovia Corporation, the Aetna Insurance Company, and other financial institutions. It is a grim irony that, even today, such corporate entities should still be reaping the benefits from what is without doubt the sorriest chapter of our nation's history. Not only do your efforts help in setting the historical record straight. They also offer the possibility – through the concept of joint-and-several liability and many other doctrines developed by our nation's great trial lawyers – that these institutions will at long last be made to pay monetary damages for their past acts.

Chicago Tribune
CHICAGO - The unmarried mother's story about giving birth to a child diagnosed as terminally ill in the womb hit a major nerve on the Internet.
Every night for the past two months, thousands of pro-life moms across the nation logged on to a blog run by the suburban Chicago woman who identified herself only as "B" or "April's Mom."
People said they prayed that God would save her pregnancy. They e-mailed her photos of their children dressed in pink, bought campaign T-shirts, shared tales of personal heartache and redemption, and sent letters and gifts to an Oak Lawn P.O. Box in support.
As more and more people were drawn to her compelling tale, eager advertisers were queuing up, and established pro-life parenting Web sites were promoting her blog - which included biblical quotes, anti-abortion messages and a soundtrack of inspirational Christian pop songs.
By Sunday night, when "April's Mom" claimed to have given birth to her "miracle baby" - blogging that April Rose had survived a home birth only to die hours later - her Web site had nearly a million hits.
There was only one problem with the unfolding tragedy: None of it was true.
Not the pregnancy, and not the photos posted on the blog of the supposed mother and Baby April Rose, swaddled in white blankets. The baby was actually a lifelike doll, which immediately raised the suspicion of loyal blog-followers.
"I have that exact doll in my house," said Elizabeth Russell, a doll maker from Buffalo, N.Y., who had been following the blog. "As soon as I saw that picture, I knew it was a scam."
By Monday, outraged followers on dozens of Christian parenting Web sites unmasked "April's Mom" as a hoaxer, and hundreds more vented their anger.
"She needs to be exposed and held accountable," Russell said.
Sensing people were close to establishing her identity, "April's Mom" on Monday raced in vain to delete her Web site, Twitter and Facebook accounts.
But it was too late. The online community found out her true identity: Beccah Beushausen, a 26-year-old social worker from Mokena, Ill.
When reached by the Chicago Tribune on Wednesday, Beushausen admitted to the hoax.
"I know what I did was wrong," she said. "I've been getting hate mail. I'm sorry because people were so emotionally involved."
There's no evidence that Beushausen benefited financially in any significant way, or committed any crime.
Still, Russell said she doesn't understand how anyone could create such a convincing tale that preyed on other women's emotions.
Beushausen says she really did lose a son shortly after birth in 2005. She started her blog in March to help deal with that loss and to express her strong pro-life views, she said.
She had only expected a handful of friends to read it, but when her first post got 50 comments, she was hooked.
"I've always liked writing. It was addictive to find out I had a voice that people wanted to hear," she said.
"Soon I was getting 100,000 hits a week, and it just got out of hand. I didn't know how to stop ... one lie led to another."
Though Beushausen said she used her real-life experiences and deeply held beliefs as a basis for her fictionalized account, her devoted fans didn't read it that way.
"I feel emotionally exploited," said Jennifer McKinney, a Minnesota mom who runs the widely read Christian parenting blog mycharmingkids.net and nearly lost her fourth child during pregnancy. She said Beushausen sought her out to help promote her site.
In retrospect, McKinney says, Beushausen pursued her support "more aggressively than anyone else ever has," adding that Beushausen seemed more interested in attracting viewers than in her unborn child.
"I have 11,000 Twitter followers, and I drove most of the traffic to her blog," McKinney said.
"My readers were praying for her, and I feel guilty about that," she said.
"But I have to admit her stuff was beautifully written."
Raechel Myers, a friend of Beushausen's from college, heard from someone earlier this year that Beushausen was going through a difficult pregnancy. Myers and her husband, Ryan, had a daughter who died at birth, so they did more than most to support Beushausen.
"When I heard that she was pregnant I called her and said if she needed anything, I was there for her," said Raechel Myers, now living in Nashville, Tenn. She said she spoke to Beushausen almost every day for the last few weeks.
Myers sold T-shirts online to benefit Beushausen and Pass, a Tinley Park, Ill., pro-life pregnancy clinic Beushausen asked them to donate to. The couple said they also sent her a few hundred dollars.
Even after learning of the hoax, Raechel Myers said she and her husband don't regret their involvement.
"She's someone who needed love and attention and we gave her that," Raechel Myers said.
Beushausen and her father said the stress of being exposed caused her to spend two nights recuperating in Palos Community Hospital.
"I couldn't handle it anymore," she said, adding that she plans to write one final blog post, coming clean and apologizing to her fans.
Her father said he only learned of his daughter's double-life Wednesday morning.
"She's a very talented young lady who hit some hot buttons," he said.
"She knows she made a big mistake."
In parting
Secondly Beccah is a severly damaged soul . She has suffered serious trauma in her life and is quite disturbed. The details of her life I would never post as that would only cause more damage. You can be assured that Beccah will be getting the help she needs.
The police are investigating this story. As for an actual prosecution I have no idea. I am not sure that there is enough actual evidence here to warrant legal action, but I guess we will see about that.
Raechel and Ryan will be posting soon along with angie and Jennifer. If that will shed more light on the situation I do not know. I do know that they are innocent and deserve to find peace and return to their normal lives.
I have to say also that unlike other bloggers I had no personal interest in this nor was I wronged by Beccah. My motive was purely to inform her readers and get to the truth. I cannot fathom how broken a person would have to be to have done this. Although she should be held accountable I do feel so sorry for her. I just had to do what I could to make this right. I had nor have no ill will towards Beccah.
As for the other bloggers involved and your comments toward them. I am disappointed that road was chosen. I am a mother and I can't imagine the pain and grief that is suffered when losing a child. Why question the way another person grieves or expresses themselves. As for bloggers making money. Who cares? If you don't like it then don't go there. None of us are in the position to judge.
I have been asked if I am a believer in God. Yes. I am catholic and I love my relationship with God. I have to say that I was very torn about this blog, but in the end decided it was all I could do to get the truth out. I know that I had to do this.
Beccah if you are ever out there reading this I hope you get help and I hope you can find Peace. I will be praying for you.
I already made a similar statement, but I will do so again. This will be my last. I feel continuing this would just breed negativity that I have to move on from. I hope all the followers of April Rose keep their faith. Prayer is never in vain. God knows your hearts and your intentions were good and true. There are people out there thet need prayers and need help. Do not lose sight of human kindness. There is decency in this world. Do not turn your cheek to human suffering. Do not approach everything with skeptisism. Do not let the bad in this story get the best of you. I have been in touch with so many lovely people through all of this. That is what I am going to take with me in the end. Thank you all for listening and trusting in me. I hope you are all able to move on from this. This story in my heart and soul has been put to rest.
Best wishes to you all,
Wednesday, June 10, 2009
Last post.........again.....LOL
I have little to tell you right now. But a little is better than nothing right? Please continue to have faith in Ryan and Rachel. They are hurting and are just dealing with this in their own fashion. I know most of you don't agree with Rachel's silence, but this subject is so close to her heart we must have patience. This whole thing will be over in a couple of days. I cannot say more. Just please trust me on that fact. I don't know that all of the minuscule details being mulled over will be touched on, but I guarantee you that there will be closure. If you are here with a good heart and good intentions your need for answers will be fulfilled. If you are here to knit pick small things and here to punish you will never find all the answers because there will always be new questions.
This will probably be my last post as I feel that my blog has done its' job. Please feel free to continue to comment. I will be hanging around on and off. First and foremost I want to say that I am sorry to those of you who were hurt by this scam. That being said I want you to know that the people who were hurt the most in this were Ryan and Racheal. Although, I never posted so even I had some doubt in the beginning and for that I want to apologize to them. I know that there will always be questions and feelings that somebody must take responsibility for all of this. There is only one person to blame here and that is Beccah. Please do not leave Ryan and Racheal holding the bag here. I am not saying that I agree 100% with the way they have chosen to proceed, however they have chosen what is best for them and their family. Besides, do you really think that Beccah has just willingly given them all of the details in her little (huge) game? NO. Beccah is a coward and is hiding from the truth.
Ryan has informed me that he has been in touch with the president of PASS in regards to the check that was sent. He did in fact send them a check for $50.00. He is working with PASS to make sure that they do have that check. The rest of the t shirt ( total $300) money did go to Beccah. Be assured that the posts on this blog from Ryan are in fact Ryan.
I have heard the term witch hunt being used on several occasions so I thought I would address it here. I do not wish any harm to anybody even Beccah. I hope that in all of this Beccah is able to get the help she needs to find some peace in life. I do feel that she does however need to be held accountable for her actions. Since, she did receive money from people and through the sale of the t shirts she has commited fraud. She has commited a crime. However, I am not a member of law inforcement so it is not up to me what happens with that. Beccah really does need prayers. She is a tormented and troubled soul. She is in serious need of helpand I truly hope she gets it. I ask that you do not express your anger over what she has done in a violent manner.
I have requested several times that we not post addresses or phone numbers. You are not going to reach Beccah and her family or friends do not deserve to be harassed right now. I feel in my heart that some of our questions will get answered in time and some we will never know the answers to.
In closing, for all of you that have been hurt or misled I hope that you realize that your prayers were not in vain. Eventhough April Rose does not exist God knows what was in the hearts of all of you. Only good can come of that. Do not lose faith in human goodness. Do not approach human suffering or tragedy with skeptisism. Do not turn a cheek to those in need. Keep your faith. It is your faith that keeps this world the place I want my children to grow up in. Do not give up or give in. Take a deep breath and thank God that you are here and can cantinue to do good work. Yes. Pray that Beccah finds peace in this world and stops hurting so that she can stop hurting others. Thank you for your time. Thank you for helping me get to the truth.

April Rose
This post has been co-written by Angie, Jennifer, and Raechel in order to address a very serious issue as a united front. It isn't an easy post, but it is one that has been prayed over and we are asking you to continue to pray for all of those involved. Each of us has, to varying extents, introduced "B" (Beccah) and her daughter April Rose to you, and we feel a responsibility to our readers to address the recent allegations. Please know that this comes after many attempts to speak to Beccah directly, and as many avenues we could seek in order to believe that the naysayers were wrong. At this point, the three of us are compelled to believe that we have been mislead, and that the Beccah that we have been praying for is not who she presented herself to be. It is not our intention to bring up all of the details to be hashed out, or to begin a conversation that will further the gossip that satan so wishes would come from this. Angie and Raechel got together in person today (Yes, they live very near to each other and each lost an infant daughter last year...Audrey on April 7th and Evie on April 9th), and Jennifer has individually spent time on the phone with both Angie and Raechel in the past couple days. We have all prayed over the whole situation. It is incredible to hear what Raechel has gone through as she has sought to love Beccah well throughout this whole journey. She is as shaken as all of us are, and feels blindsided. She did what any loving Christian sister would have done and reached out to someone she had known in the past, but hadn't had contact with in years. She did her best to be a friend, as we all did. Please hear our (Jennifer and Angie's) hearts on this-Raechel was as much in the dark as all of the rest of us. She made no money, nor did she have any idea that she was being taken advantage of. She and her husband made t-shirts to benefit PASS, and they personally sent the check directly to PASS. Any speculation of their participation in this in this is purely false, and should be immediately put to rest. We are now face to face with evidence that compels us to believe that Beccah's story is fictitious. We will not go into further detail, because at this point, it will just feel like more fuel to the fire. Instead, we would like to encourage you to continue to be in prayer for Beccah as the story develops. Whatever the case, she is a woman in need of prayer, and although the sting is fresh on our cheeks, we must, as a body, continue to seek the counsel of the Lord and trust that He will use this situation for good. Every one of you has a right to be hurt and to feel robbed of your time and your investment in this story, but above all, please remember that this is a person created in the image of God. As difficult as it sounds, we would like to beseech you to be in prayer for everyone involved. We want to assure you that the time you spent in prayer was not wasted...it was a sweet communion between you and the Lord on behalf of someone who needed that intercession. There are incidences like this that occur in the blog world, and each of us has dealt with them. This should serve as a reminder that not everyone is to be trusted; there are people who can use this as a platform for emotional attention, or any number of things. After much discussion, many phone calls to others involved, and much prayer, we feel like this is the best approach. The three of us care about our readers more than we can express, and have become friends outside of the blog world. We all believed it too and we are mourning it the same way you are. It didn't feel right to not say anything at all, but we also don't feel that any further commenting or discussion would be edifying to the Lord at this point, and as a result we will be shutting off comments for this post. Please respect our hearts and our intentions as we seek the Father Who knows what we cannot understand, and allows us to come to Him with our brokenness. He is the God of mercy, and we can only hope to reflect that to the world as His followers… With much love and prayer, Angie, Jennifer, and Raechel

Litttle april Rose.....Fake
The author of this blog needs to be exposed. The pic that was posted of April Rose that is now removed was a doll!!! Given that the pic was a fake I can only assume that the whole story is a lie!! She should be ashamed for hurting and exploiting people this way! She needs to be stopped! All this talk of prayer and being a christian! She should be ashamed for this!
Doesn't this look like "April Rose?" This is a reborn doll made from a kit called Avery that is produced by Bountiful Baby!! If you don't believe me go to their website www.bountifulbaby.com and see for yourself! Please be informed that I am only trying to save people from being scammed! Just so all of the followers of her blog know the pic was taken down as soon as I commented that I knew it was a doll!

Not sure why, but this is my favorite shot of my Colorado trip, at least my favorite birds shot:
Good to see this Kestrel today! For some reason, it makes me think of a book I read in the spring of 1971, A Wizard of Earthsea, by Ursula Le Guin. That book was light for me in a dark time.
It is a great photo — perfectly framed.

Making Your Donations Count
It can be difficult to identify a scammer when you see one, which is why organizations like the Better Business Bureau in North America exist as a resource to help you exercise caution when making donations to relief agencies and charities.
There's one thing that belly dancers can be counted on, and that's raising money for charity. We see it time and time again - dance troupes organizing oriental-themed events and performances to help raise awareness and funds for those in need.
"I've always been interested and involved in helping charities," says Kansas City-based dancer Zoria Kali. "I've worked for several organizations that are focused on helping women and children. So when I became a belly dancer it was natural for me to want to combine those worlds."
The most common fundraising events include animal rescue efforts, natural disasters, and even raising money to help belly dance brothers and sisters facing serious medical situations.
"I know that belly dancers are some of the most supporting and charitable givers when disasters or aide is needed," says dancer Dilara Sultan.
Needless to say, belly dancers have caring hearts and are always willing to help. But unfortunately, the fact remains that there are plenty of dishonest individuals who lurk around, happy to benefit off the generosity of others.
It can be difficult to identify a scammer when you see one, which is why organizations like the Better Business Bureau in North America exist as a resource to help you exercise caution when making donations to relief agencies and charities.
"Unfortunately, we've seen time and time again that scammers will try to take advantage of the generosity of the public after a disaster," says Norman Wright, president and CEO of your BBB Serving Northwest Florida. "That's why it's so important to take your time and do your research before donating to relief efforts."
Just be aware of scams, check out the Federal Trade Commission list on how to aviod charity fraud.
There are plenty of well-established organizations out there that you can help. There are also local charities that could greatly use your help. Be smart and get to know an organization before you put your name and time behind it, because there are some great ones out there. Good luck!

Whenever I hear someone dismiss LDS fiction as trite, or poorly written, I wonder if the speaker has actually read much lately. In recent years, there have been LDS books exploring a number of serious subjects, from a gospel perspective. Many of these books are written by seasoned authors who have great skill. I wonder if the people who make this assertion have checked out the website for the Whitney awards, or the new releases page of LDS Storymakers.
But let's leave that aside for a moment. Have you ever complained about the content in a book or movie? Have you ever said, "Why do they have to put that stuff in and ruin an otherwise good movie/book?"
If you have, then read on, because I have a way you can directly contribute to the creation of a positive alternative.
But first, let me bore you with some history. Pick a great artist in any field--Handel. Mozart. Shakespeare. Michelangelo.
None of these artists just emerged. Let's take music as an example. Western music began with Greek guys strumming on lyres. Over the centuries, they invented musical modes, observed mathematical rules about music, discovered scales, and so on.
Eventually, some monks started chanting sacred texts. First they improvised, then they figured out a notation system. Then someone added two parts--then three and four. French troubadours adapted the form for secular texts and a guy named Mauchet started to compose motets and Masses and love songs.
In the Renaissance, Dufay, des Prez, and Palestrina all pushed the art to new levels. Along came composers in the Baroque era. Pachelbel's Canon in D, Handel's Messiah, Vivaldi's Four Seasons, Bach's amazing, intricate masterpieces. These artists gave us sublimely beautiful music that nearly everyone recognizes today.
But this great music did not spring out, fully-created. It evolved over hundreds of years. It happened because some unknown monk somewhere got an idea. It happened because of trial-and-error and continued effort. It happened because people either improved existing forms, or rebelled against them and did something else.
The great music we love today would not have happened without what went before it. I've listened to Medieval polyphony. Unless you have a taste for it, it's not going to be something most people like. But it was the necessary step to get to music we do like. None of the later stuff would have come either. Bach, Beethoven, the Beatles, Billy Joel, and Beyonce all came about only because of what happened earlier.
The development of art takes time. It also takes a few other things.
First, it takes lots of mistakes. This is true for individuals as well as entire disciplines. Every mistake is critical because it teaches us how not to do something, and that is something artists have to learn. Understanding what doesn't work is critical to learning what does work. So, someone has to make mistakes. Maybe even big ones. But mistakes actually improve the quality of the overall form because others learn from those mistakes. Each artist builds on the successes and failures of those who came before, and those who are around them.
The second point flows from the second. You need a critical mass of people working in an art to really have that art form grow. You need people to make the mistakes, to experiment, to inspire or provoke each other, and so on. The more people working in a field, the more the cream is going to rise to the top. While there are some exceptions, if you look at periods of great artistic achievement, you will notice that there was usually a group of people involved, feeding off of each other. Very rarely did great art happen in isolation. That's not an accident.
So, to sum up: art does not happen in isolation. Art, and individual artists, need to time to grow, the chance to make mistakes, and a critical mass of people experimenting and learning.
We understand the spiritual principle of "line upon line." We understand that we cannot run faster than we have strength. Physically and spiritually, first we crawl, then we walk, then we run.
Why should it not be the same with the growth of individual artists, and entire art forms as well?
And all of this takes time. I think there are some very good books out there, and more are coming. Have we hit "masterpiece" level yet? Not in my opinion, but I've read some things that come very close. There are a lot of people writing, working and learning and growing. But for the sake of argument, I will concede that I have read work by LDS authors that is pretty weak. To be fair, I've written some stuff that was pretty weak (Note: this is partially due to the economics of small-press publishing and the expense of editing, but that's another topic).
It would be nice if the only people who ever wrote were good at it, if the first book of every author was amazing. But that's not reality. In order for us to have our geniuses emerge, there will be some stuff that's not nearly as good. You can't get the former without the latter. Moreover, even those geniuses might have some misses.
If you compare, for example, Titus Andronicus, one of Shakespeare's earliest works to The Tempest, his last, you will see a major difference. The only reason anyone does Titus anymore is because it's by Shakespeare. It's not a great play.
As authors improve with each book, the quality of LDS fiction also improves. It takes time. In historical terms, Mormon literature is not very old.
If, while that improvement is happening, you don't like the product, that is fine. Writers need to succeed on the merits of their work.
But if you have ever grimaced at the content of a contemporary book or movie, if you have ever wished for a positive alternative to what New York and Hollywood churn out, then here's a thought: that stuff won't change. The producers are making lots of money and have millions of satisfied customers. The only way to change the culture is to provide alternatives. Culture doesn't change because we want it to, and it cannot change unless there are alternatives.
It's easy to dismiss the work of LDS writers as being banal and trite. But in doing that, we might miss something. But even if some of it is on the cliche side, I think it's worth remembering that there will be some inevitable misses as LDS writers wrestle to create work that is of high quality and consistent with Gospel standards. Lots of misses. But each of those misses might be an important step in the development of both that writer, as well as the entire art form.
There will also be, also have been, and surely will be many more big wins. In the meantime, I suggest that the best thing any of us can do is try to support people who are out in the trenches trying to make a difference.

ESA finds that Venus has an ozone layer too
ESA's Venus Express spacecraft has discovered an ozone layer high in the atmosphere of Venus. Comparing its properties with those of the equivalent layers on Earth and Mars will help astronomers refine their searches for life on other planets.
Venus Express made the discovery while watching stars seen right at the edge of the planet set through its atmosphere. Its SPICAV instrument analysed the starlight, looking for the characteristic fingerprints of gases in the atmosphere as they absorbed light at specific wavelengths.
The ozone was detectable because it absorbed some of the ultraviolet from the starlight.
Ozone is a molecule containing three oxygen atoms. According to computer models, the ozone on Venus is formed when sunlight breaks up carbon dioxide molecules, releasing oxygen atoms.
These atoms are then swept around to the nightside of the planet by winds in the atmosphere: they can then combine to form two-atom oxygen molecules, but also sometimes three-atom ozone molecules.
"This detection gives us an important constraint on understanding the chemistry of Venus' atmosphere," says Franck Montmessin, who led the research.
It may also offer a useful comparison for searching for life on other worlds.
Ozone has only previously been detected in the atmospheres of Earth and Mars. On Earth, it is of fundamental importance to life because it absorbs much of the Sun's harmful ultraviolet rays. Not only that, it is thought to have been generated by life itself in the first place.
The build-up of oxygen, and consequently ozone, in Earth's atmosphere began 2.4 billion years ago. Although the exact reasons for it are not entirely understood, microbes excreting oxygen as a waste gas must have played an important role.
Along with plant life, they continue to do so, constantly replenishing Earth's oxygen and ozone.
As a result, some astrobiologists have suggested that the simultaneous presence of carbon dioxide, oxygen and ozone in an atmosphere could be used to tell whether there could be life on the planet.
This would allow future telescopes to target planets around other stars and assess their habitability. However, as these new results highlight, the amount of ozone is crucial.
The small amount of ozone in Mars' atmosphere has not been generated by life. There, it is the result of sunlight breaking up carbon dioxide molecules.
Venus too, now supports this view of a modest ozone build-up by non-biological means. Its ozone layer sits at an altitude of 100 km, about four times higher in the atmosphere than Earth's and is a hundred to a thousand times less dense.
Theoretical work by astrobiologists suggests that a planet's ozone concentration must be 20% of Earth's value before life should be considered as a cause.
These new results support that conclusion because Venus clearly remains below this threshold.
"We can use these new observations to test and refine the scenarios for the detection of life on other worlds," says Dr Montmessin.
Yet, even if there is no life on Venus, the detection of ozone there brings Venus a step closer to Earth and Mars. All three planets have an ozone layer.
"This ozone detection tells us a lot about the circulation and the chemistry of Venus' atmosphere," says Håkan Svedhem, ESA Project Scientist for the Venus Express mission.
"Beyond that, it is yet more evidence of the fundamental similarity between the rocky planets, and shows the importance of studying Venus to understand them all."

1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Alcman
ALCMAN, or Alcmaeon (the former being the Doric form of the name), the founder of Doric lyric poetry, to whom was assigned the first place among the nine lyric poets of Greece in the Alexandrian canon, flourished in the latter half of the 7th century B.C. He was a Lydian of Sardis, who came as a slave to Sparta, where he lived in the family of Agesidas, by whom he was emancipated. His mastery of Greek shows that he must have come very early to Sparta, where, after the close of the Messenian wars, the people were able to bestow their attention upon the arts of peace. Alcman composed various kinds of poems in various metres; Parthenia (maidens' songs), hymns, paeans, prosodia (processionals), and love-songs, of which he was considered the inventor. He was evidently fond of good living, and traces of Asiatic sensuousness seem out of place amidst Spartan simplicity. The fragments are scanty, the most considerable being part of a Parthenion found in 1855 on an Egyptian papyrus; some recently discovered hexameters are attributed to Alcman or Erinna (Oxyrhynchus papyri, i. 1898).
For general authorities see Alcaeus.

European governments are being forced to face up to the significance of a Greek default. This is perhaps the underlying message from International Monetary Fund Managing Director Christine Lagarde's warning that Europe's banks "need urgent recapitalization." She may have been warning about the costly alternative to a solution to the Greek sovereign crisis. But it could well be too late.

A pensioner has suffered a stroke and a bleed to his brain after he was robbed and assaulted in his own home.
The 87-year-old man was attacked after being woken from his sleep early yesterday morning by the sound of a window being broken at his house in Bolton, Greater Manchester.
The man, who has not been named, found the intruder standing at the foot of his bed and was told to hand over his money before being hit in the face.
The burglar stole his wallet, bank book and cheque book before he left.
Detective Inspector Denise Pye of Greater Manchester Police said: "This man was awoken, only to find an intruder standing over him making threats.
"Before he knew what was happening, he was savagely attacked and as a result of this ferocious assault, he sustained a stroke and has been diagnosed with a bleed to his brain.
"He is currently in a serious condition in hospital and is being treated for his injuries. Our thoughts are with him and we hope he makes a recovery."
