A coalition of conservation, wildlife and forestry organisations have written a letter calling on the government to keep it's promise over the future of forests in Cornwall.
The groups are calling on the Government to ensure that a draft Bill to establish a new public forest management organisation for England is prioritised within the Government's proposed legislative programme for the year ahead.
In 2011 the Government signalled an intention to sell off a significant proportion of the Public Forest Estate (PFE) and, in response, many politicians, community groups, and forestry stakeholders campaigned for the PFE to stay in public ownership.
In direct response, Government halted the sale and established the Independent Forestry Panel to advise on the future direction of forestry and woodland policy in England.
In January 2013, the Government published its Forestry and Woodlands Policy Statement, which took on board the majority of the panel's recommendations. The centrepiece was a key promise that the PFE in England would remain in public ownership, led by a strengthened new management body, established in statute, to hold the Estate in trust for the nation.
It said: "Establishing via legislation a new, operationally-independent Public Forest Estate management body to hold the Estate in trust for the nation."
The Government reaffirmed its ambition in January 2014 stating: "The Government remains committed to publishing draft legislation as soon as possible and to submitting this to full Pre-Legislative Scrutiny".
The open letter to the Government was signed by:
- Beccy Speight, Chief Executive, Woodland Trust
- Stuart Goodall, Chief Executive, Confederation of Forest Industries
- Jonathan Porritt, Co-founder, Our Forests
- Benedict Southworth, Chief Executive, Ramblers
- Hen Anderson, Co-founder, Save Our Woods
- Stephanie Hilborne, Chief Executive, The Wildlife Trusts
- Maddy Carroll, Campaigns Director, 38 Degrees
- Members of the Forest Campaigns Network
Woodland Trust chief executive Beccy Speight said: "Trees and woods are not a luxury, they are essential for our quality of life. The public forest estate provides a variety of cost-effective benefits for society, is vital in ensuring people's physical and mental health and well-being, and provides much needed wildlife habitat with 22 per cent of England's irreplaceable ancient woodland lying within the estate.
"If Government is serious about safeguarding the future of the public forest estate, moving forward with legislation is crucial. A promise was made in 2013 which must now be fulfilled – there is no need for further delay.
"Missing this opportunity could once again put the estate in jeopardy, given that we can not be certain of any new administration's future priorities. The hundreds of thousands of people who have made their views on the public forest estate so powerfully known since 2011 deserve reassurance that England's public forests will be held in trust for the nation."

This was my first book I downloaded and it was great! I enjoyed wat he said and the background he game. The autor knows how to paint a picture and get you trapped into listen to the whole book in one sitting. I am inspired to read more books by this author and download more books to see if they compare!
A masterpiece. It's a fantastic book and even better because he narrates. Will listen to it over and over and over. No one can bring about a true understanding of what it really means to be a Christian the way this brilliant man can. What a blessing to all of us.
"Good book to focus on God"
I listened to this book to learn more about John the Baptist. It gave me a glimpse of him and his ministry. It gave me a much better glimpse of God.
The description sounded so interesting. The author basically says nothing ...just alot of repetitive blah, blah, blah.
"Not my favorite"
I Love Louie Giglio but this is not his best by no means. It just seemed to drag and I lost interest. Maybe it was just me.

WASHINGTON — When Charlie Crist, Florida's popular governor, announced this week that he would run for the U.S. Senate, it was the best news the Republican Party has had in an otherwise unpleasant year.
Party insiders, fearing another difficult year in 2010, see Crist's moderate image and warm personal style as just what they need to hold a Senate seat that became vulnerable with the retirement of incumbent Mel Martinez.
But conservatives, who have long mistrusted Crist, now loathe him for committing the cardinal sin of enthusiastically endorsing President Barack Obama's stimulus plan earlier this year.
Crist even embraced the president during a Florida rally in February, and the hug really got under the skin of the wingers. On Mike Thomas' Orlando Sentinel blog, a commenter recently declared, in all capital letters: "I as a Republican, will never forget what Gov. Crist did, hugging and kissing Obama and taking all that stimulos (sic) money on TV." Ouch.
Marco Rubio, the former Florida House speaker, will be the conservatives' champion in the primary. In this age of instant communications, Rubio answered Crist's announcement with an online ad in what might be called an abstract expressionist style.
As a kaleidoscopic picture of Crist's appearance with Obama comes slowly into focus, the announcer intones against "some politicians" who "support trillions in reckless spending, borrowed money from China and the Middle East, mountains of debt for our children, and a terrible threat to a fragile economy."
Keep an eye on Rubio, a bright, handsome 37-year-old son of Cuban immigrants. He was mentored by none other than former Gov. Jeb Bush. As soon as Crist announced, Florida political junkies went into overdrive speculating whether Bush would endorse Rubio and turn the primary into a brawl. Rubio is already being touted as the orthodox right's answer to Obama, and even his adversaries respect his talents.
"Rubio will be scrappy, he'll give him a run for his money, he'll give Crist fits," said U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a South Florida Democrat who nonetheless expects Crist to prevail.
National Republican leaders certainly hope so because they went out on a limb for Crist almost as soon as he had finished his brief announcement.
Last week, John Cornyn, the chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, promised not to endorse anyone in Florida's Senate primary. But what's a promise when a Senate seat is at stake? Cornyn came out for Crist, as did Sen. Mitch McConnell, the Republican minority leader. Rubio, on top of his technology, responded on Twitter. "It appears I won't win the Washington D.C. primary," Rubio tweeted. "Lucky for me I am running in the Florida GOP primary."
Conservative blogs were quick to take Cornyn to task. "Instead of trying to beat conservatives," John J. Miller harrumphed on National Review's The Corner blog, "the NRSC should save its resources for defeating Democrats." Oh, this one will be fun.
It will also be deadly serious. With all the media attention that flows to the likes of Dick Cheney, Rush Limbaugh and Sarah Palin, it's easy to forget that there are tough-minded Republican professionals who know the party's ranks are shrinking. According to the exit polls, the proportion of Florida voters who call themselves Republicans fell from 41 percent in 2004 to 34 percent in 2008. And a Quinnipiac poll last month found that Crist's net approval was marginally higher among Democrats than among those in his own party.
David Winston, a Republican pollster, said Cornyn has learned from Sen. Charles Schumer, who led the Democrats' successful campaign to take back the Senate in 2006. Schumer was willing to battle local Democrats — his support for Bob Casey, a prolife Democrat in Pennsylvania, was emblematic — to force the nomination of the most electable candidate.
Florida will be one of the clearest tests of whether rank-and-file Republican voters are more interested in doctrinal purity, or in winning — even if it means nominating an Obama hugger.

The S&P had one of its harshest sell-offs of the year today as worries grow about the implications of military intervention in Syria. Yesterday afternoon the market reversed to the downside after U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry accused Syrian President Assad of using chemical weapons against his people. Technically the sell-off flashed a signal to, at the very least, get out of short-term longs. The S&P finished down 1.59% today while the Nasdaq showed relative weakness, dropping 2.16%, and the Dow showed relative strength with only a 1.14% decline.
From a geo-political perspective, any type of potential military escalation can spook financial markets, but the situation in Syria is particularly complex. Russia is a staunch supporter of Syrian President Assad and is at odds with the United States' assessment that chemical weapons were used by his regime, while Iran has warned against further U.S. meddling in the region....1083 more words left in this article.

Iggy & Patricia—beautiful cakes, both. I'm going to have to try that swirl gag, Patricia! Really pretty!
I have been wanting to make this frosting
In addition to chocolate, it would probably be awesome on a banana cake or on the white velvet cake!
I want to join the "better the next day club," as I couldn't agree more. They get better and better—even the 4th day after baking is super fabulous. I never judge a cake the day of baking, becuase I know whatever it is, it will be even better!!
Re Jif: I find it very bitter with little peanut taste. I've found that Arrowhead Mills natural organic is great, and once you stir it, it won't separate again. It's very creamy and not grainy linke some naturals. Its only ingredient is roasted peanuts, so I usually add a little extra salt to the recipe.
both great tips Anne… I like the idea of the banana and the white velvet cake. I will look for this peanut butter

Hitachi is focusing its efforts and targeting emerging markets to do what IBM couldn't--make money with hard drives.
Executives from a Hitachi and IBM hard drive joint venture, Hitachi Global Storage Technologies, will announce on Monday a new business strategy and products aimed at increasing the company's market share and reaching profitability.
Hitachi Global Storage Technologies was formed at the end of 2002 and is 70 percent owned by Hitachi and 30 percent owned by IBM. The San Jose, Calif.-based company is a subsidiary of Tokyo-based Hitachi, which will pay for the remaining 30 percent over the next three years. IBM had lost more than $500 million over the last two years in the hard drive business, which is notoriously competitive and yields thin margins.
"We want to extend beyond IT and develop four separate business units, each responsible for their own results," said Dr. Jun Naruse, chief executive of Hitachi Global Storage Technologies. Those units will target the mobile, desktop and server markets. The fourth will focus on emerging markets such as consumer electronics and automobiles.

Bear markets — like beauty — are in the eye of the beholder.
I came to realize this during the stock market's late-summer swoon that culminated with an especially nasty sell-off in early October.
For a few moments on Oct. 4, the Standard & Poor's 500 Index dipped intra-day to a level that was 20 percent below its bull market high on April 29.
That's a bear market, right? Well, not exactly, because it didn't actually close that day off 20 percent. The "official" definition of a bear market is a 20 percent drop from a closing high to a closing low.
So far, the S&P 500 has not closed 20 percent below its high, though it came close — 19.4 percent — on Oct. 3. In my opinion that's just quibbling. I'm calling this a bear market, and you can too if you like.
Besides, who is the arbiter of the "official" definition of bear markets anyway? Is it Dow Jones & Co., Barron's, The Wall Street Journal or some group of smarty-pants stock analysts holed up in a back room somewhere? Heck, who knows? I don't.
When I started writing about the stock market in the early 1990s, The Wall Street Journal deemed an official bear market one in which the Dow Jones industrial average or the S&P 500 dropped at least 20 percent over two months.
At some point over the years, the Journal stopped mucking up the definition with the two-month stuff and dropped it. I guess it was the official definition until it wasn't anymore.
Anyway, if you want to say you lost 19.4 percent in the 2011 Bear Market, go ahead and say it. See, I even wrote that in italics to make it official.
Wrong indexes
But, truth be told, the Dow and S&P 500 are not the best gauges of whether we are in a bull or bear market.
The stock market is much broader than the 30 Dow stocks or the 500 stocks in the S&P. And some of the broader stock indexes have been in bear market territory for weeks, although the investing public's attention has been focused on the S&P and Dow.
For example, the MSCI World index, which includes stocks from all over the globe, was down more than 20 percent in mid-September, and the Russell 2000 index passed the threshold in mid-August. For reasons like those, the Leuthold Group, a highly respected market research and money management firm, pegged this an "official" bear market months ago.
"The Dow and S&P can be very misleading in a decline because of their heavy weighting in the big multinational stocks that do best in a market decline," said Doug Ramsey, director of research for Leuthold.
In other words, by the time the Dow and S&P hit the official bear market level of a 20 percent drop, the broader markets are already very late in the downturn.
But what about rally?
If you've read this far you may be asking yourself why I'm pontificating about a bear market while some 900 points have been added to the Dow since early October.
Perhaps you are thinking that the latest rally is the beginning of another bull market and that any talk of a bear market is yesterday's news. You may be right.
But it is just because of the October rally that I think it is important to note that rallies within bear markets are commonplace. And that could be what this is, according to Ramsey.
The typical bear market unfolds in a series of three down legs, separated by rallies of 5 percent or more.
The first down leg of the current bear market was a 7.2 percent drop from late April through June 15.
The market then rallied into July before hitting the second downdraft, which took stocks down 17.3 percent by Aug. 8. Stocks rallied again, but Ramsey believes we now are in the third down leg, which started in September.
Since 1929 the median bear market down leg has been 16.8 percent, meaning half the down legs were greater than 16.8 percent and half were less than that. If the percentage holds this time, the S&P 500 will fall from its current level of 1,224 to 1,018 — an additional 16.8 percent.
That's putting a very fine point on a market prediction, and Ramsey is quick to say that he's just highlighting historical averages, not making precise predictions. The key point is that rallies within bear markets occur frequently.
That's important to remember, as market sentiment has turned dramatically positive over the last few days as stocks have rallied.
"I am amazed at how quickly people have warmed up to this market," Ramsey said.
But it could turn out that this bear market is not over yet. In the eye of this beholder, skepticism is a beautiful thing.

TORONTO — Realism is a lot more palatable in April than it is in October.
When former Raptors general manager Rob Babcock declared Toronto lottery-bound before the season had even started, outrage followed. That is why general manager Bryan Colangelo, despite having an unaccomplished roster, said in the fall that this year's team had post-season aspirations. As the season winds down, however, it is easy to see those were mere wishes, not expectations.
"If this is to be judged on wins and losses, then it was a failure from the beginning," Raptors coach Jay Triano said last week. "What were we predicted to be? Fifteenth in the East. Right? I think that we're all smarter than that."
With his Raptors at 21-55, those are declarations that can now be made with no repercussions. But wins and losses are the most important statistics. If they were never important, how do you begin to assess a coach's performance?
Indeed, Triano's worth needs to be judged, and quickly. He has a team option for next season, one that must be picked up by mid-June. And there are obvious complications: a majority stake in Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment, the team's owner, is for sale; Colangelo does not have a contract beyond this season; and a lockout could begin July 1.
When contacted by the
National Post
, Colangelo expressed contentment with Triano's performance, and said his contractual status would be addressed after the season. Given his own precarious position, there is little else Colangelo can say.
Triano cannot say much more. All he knows: He does not want to leave just before things get good.
"I think the one thing about the NBA is that with draft picks and free agency, the face of a team can change drastically," Triano said. "This year, we developed players so that when the face of the franchise changes drastically, the role players will be significantly better. There are going to be exciting times around here."
Triano is selling hope, but that does not mean he is lying. DeMar DeRozan has improved dramatically this year, with his jumpshot no longer denting rims. Ed Davis has shown that spending the 13th pick on a lithe power forward, despite already having Amir Johnson, was wise. When young players develop, coaching has to get some of the credit.
Almost as importantly, the team has gotten along. Aside from a few minor issues — Julian Wright refusing to go into a game in Golden State last month stands out — the Raptors have been a cohesive unit. Given the mounting losses, that is an accomplishment.
"For the one-off incident that did happen, it is so minor to the other s— that goes on around this league," Triano said, answering in the affirmative when asked if there were at least five incidents on last year's team that would have been worse than Wright's refusal to play. There were likely more involving Hedo Turkoglu alone.
"I think that [Triano's] work ethic, his professionalism and his positive demeanour, which is the hardest thing to maintain, is what has kept us going more than anything else," assistant coach P.J. Carlesimo said.
"And the players understand that. They know that every day he's prepared.
"It's no different now than it was in game five. And [the players] see that. And that's not the way it is everywhere, to be honest with you. Some coaches aren't that way. They don't mail it in, but they don't bring that same energy."
There can be little dispute that the Raptors played for Triano this year, even though their playoff hopes were squashed early. There were wins over Boston, Oklahoma City (twice), Orlando (twice) Chicago and Dallas. Beyond that, there were few no-shows, with the game against the Warriors that Wright tarnished standing out as one of the few exceptions.
Most of the losses were of the simple we-are-overmatched variety. And as everybody on the club is fond of pointing out, there were lingering injuries to nearly every member of the rotation, with a serious foot injury keeping Reggie Evans in a suit for more than three months.
In a way, the laudatory effort in the wake of depressing results proved one theory about Triano correct.
"As we all know in this league, there's that veteran presence that can derail you as a coach, especially a young coach, if it's negative," said NBA TV Canada analyst Sherman Hamilton, who played under Triano for the Canadian national team. "I would agree with the thought of having young players around — that are eager to learn, hungry to get their start — is something that can help Jay because he's got a lot to offer in terms of basketball knowledge. Maybe with a more veteran-laden team, the willingness to accept instruction isn't there as much. That could hurt him. I would agree with that to a certain extent."
Hamilton suggested Triano could get the ears of veterans as well, but last year's team, with Chris Bosh and Turkoglu at the centre, was fleetingly cohesive at best.
Even Triano has found this year to be a more straightforward task.
"I think without us dancing around the fact that we wanted to keep a superstar here, there's been 100% more accountability in the locker room," Triano said, alluding to Bosh. "I think I probably have held a lot more people accountable for things that they're going through and things that this team has gone through."
Still, with the Raptors being one of the worst teams in the league, it has not been all sunshine and rainbows. There were high hopes that increased athleticism would help the notoriously porous Toronto defence, but that has not occurred. The Raptors enter Tuesday's game against the Knicks 26th in the league in points allowed per game (105.6), 29th in opponent's field-goal percentage (48.3%) and last in points allowed per 100 positions (110.1). Sure, most of their athleticism comes in the form of inexperienced players, but that lack of growth is an unqualified disappointment.
In his fifth year, Andrea Bargnani remains an intriguing offensive player, but he is unquestionably not a franchise talent. Bargnani has bumped up his scoring average to 21.8 points per game this year, but that comes almost entirely from his increased field-goal attempts and touches. Almost incomprehensibly, Bargnani's 5.2 rebounds per 36 minutes is the worst mark of his paint-averse career. Under Triano, Bargnani's improvement has been negligible.
"Obviously at the defensive end and rebounding-wise, I wish he would have gotten better," said Triano, who held out hope that the fifth-year centre could still improve in those areas. "That is still a work in progress."
In terms of in-game adjustments, Triano showed his chops in a March win in Oklahoma City, drawing up intricate plays — executed well — that led to the tying and winning baskets. Overall, he has thrown everything, including a healthy helping of zone defence, at the wall. Triano declined to get into specifics but said one area he did want to improve at was related to x's and o's.
"The number one thing is the players like him and respect him," Carlesimo said. "That's absolutely number one. When you have that — the confidence of your players — and they like [you] and want to play well for you, then you can push through situations like this, when there's not the carrot there."
Without the necessary talent, you cannot judge Triano on much else.

Phil Mackenzie may be out, but Canada will look to their performance vs Georgia in June for inspiration on Saturday vs Russia.
Canada vs Russia, Saturday, 5 p.m. PT (delayed), TSN
Last week against Samoa, the Canadian pack really struggled. With Friday night's defeat of Wales by those same Samoans, Canada will be looking back with different eyes than they might have used yesterday. The Samoans demolished the Welsh pack, just as they did to Canada. Last week's performance can now be seen as battle-hardening.
Look for Canada to run from the off, and test the Russians' experience. Russia have not played many games at this level, but their time at the world cup will have been a productive one. They lost to the USA last week, but they notably improved as the game went along.
1 Andrew Tiedemann. Came on in the second half and like the rest of the front row, had a tough time against a well-drilled Samoan pack. Russia won't be as sound technically, so Tiedemann's experience as a professional in France should be a difference maker.
2 Ryan Hamilton. The young Capilano hooker is all of a sudden the most experienced man Canada call upon. A powerful six footer, Hamilton played in all of Canada's world cup games and his running with the ball when he came on against Samoa showed the benefit of that experience.
3 Jason Marshall. Similar to Tiedemann, Marshall's French experience should give him an edge against the Russians. Known for his strength and mobility, learning the technical details of tight head prop is an ongoing chore for the North Shore product.
4 Jebb Sinclair. His visa issues sorted out, Sinclair should make an impact. If he's not noticeable, that's a serious problem. A season of Super and Currie Cup rugby under his belt, the big New Brunswicker should be at the top of his game.
5 Tyler Hotson. Hotson's defensive work and at the lineout were very solid last week. Having another heavy set of legs in Sinclair will no doubt help stabilize the scrum – Hotson was under a lot of pressure against the Samoans.
6 Tyler Ardron. The best Canadian forward prospect in years, Ardron is quietly growing into the blindside flanker role. A very valuable asset around the breakdown, he's got good hands and a big frame that will become more and more useful as he gains confidence.
7 Chauncey O'Toole. Despite the score line, O'Toole played one of his best games in the red and white. His ball carrying was dynamite and his defensive presence was especially notable. As a number 7, he is expected to be a ball winner, an area he still needs to improve.
8 Aaron Carpenter (c). Similar to O'Toole, his work with and without the ball was solid. A good leader for what is now a rather young team.
9 Eric Wilson. Years of hard work and dedication are behind this first-ever start for Canada. Wilson played very well when in came on in place of Sean White, and with White's withdrawal, the number 9 shirt appears to be the Meralomas veteran's for now.
10 Harry Jones. Another exciting prospect, Jones has been a regular for the sevens squad and is now making his 15-a-side debut. A dynamic distributor, he's been playing mostly as a centre for the Capilanos when he's not travelling to a IRB Sevens series event.
12 Nick Blevins. Blevins was very impressive after coming on for Phil Mackenzie, midway through the first half, with a big 'but'. Samoa flyhalf Tusi Pisi had way too much room to operate in an that's the fault of the inside backs. Blevins and Jones need to be up quickly to inhibit Russian fly half Sergey Sugrobov.
13 Ciaran Hearn. Another who played very well at times vs Samoa, making a few breaks and defending well. But like everyone last week, clearly he can be better. He looks to be settling well into outside centre and a strong performance on Saturday, especially defending on the outside, will set him up well for next week's big test from the Maoris.
11 Taylor Paris. Last week was tough for the young speedster. He spilled several high kicks and knocked-on a quickly-taken penalty. He didn't get much ball and when he did, he couldn't penetrate the Samoan outside defence.
14 Jeff Hassler. Another young flyer, Hassler played well when he subbed on for Matt Evans late in the second half. An elusive runner, the real question for both him and Paris is 'how much ball do they find for themselves and do they take all their opportunities?'
15 James Pritchard. Pritchard had a disappointing game last week, with few chances to impose himself running with the ball and only making one out of three attempts at goal. Against the more inexperienced Russians, Pritchard should be able to use his guile and keep the Bears on the back foot.
Ray Barkwill, Hubert Buydens, Doug Wooldridge. Last week's front row starters are flipped to the bench this week. They will be keen to make an impact when they get on the field, and also prove that they are worthy of their status as international-quality scrummagers. Barkwill's lineout throwing was spot-on last week too, so Ryan Hamilton will be under pressure to prove his ability there as well.
Jon Phelan, John Moonlight. Phelan struggled to make an impact last week, like most of the Canadian forwards; Moonlight was impressive in his stint late in the game, showing the running ability that has made him a fine sevens player while scoring a fine try.
Nanyak Dala, Phil Mack. Dala has played most of his rugby for Canada as a flanker, but he's been a centre for Castaway-Wanderers so far this season. His wheels have never been in doubt and his handling is worthy of his time with the sevens. His sevens teammate Mack joins the squad to replace the injured Sean White and is a wonderfully darting runner, who will push Wilson hard for the start next week vs the Maori All Blacks.

A three-judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit has ruled that War on Terra prisoner Belkacem Bensayah cannot be considered a "part" of Al Qaeda, based on the "evidence" the government presented against him.
The 17-page opinion, written by Judge Douglas H. Ginsburg, was declassified on July 1. Like the recent order from Judge Henry Kennedy commanding the release of War on Terra prisoner Mohamed Mohamed Hassan Odaini (see here and here), significant portions of Ginsburg's opinion have been "redacted." And also like Kennedy's order, those redacted portions reference information provided by Abu Zubaydah.
Zubaydah is the Original Sin of the War on Terra. Zubaydah is a grievously mentally ill man who, shortly after he was taken into custody in March of 2002, was dubbed by the FBI's premier expert on Al Qaeda as "insane, certifiable, split personality."
Acknowledged by top officials at both the FBI and the CIA as a mentally damaged nobody, Zubaydah was nonetheless waterboarded and otherwise tortured on hundreds of occasions. During which, in his agony, he would "speak of plots of every variety—against shopping malls, banks, supermarkets, water systems, nuclear plants, apartment buildings, the Brooklyn Bridge, the Statue of Liberty," causing "thousands of uniformed men and women [to] race in a panic to each target," and ensuring the continued incarceration of untold innocents like Bensayah and Odaini.
Ginsburg's opinion, like Kennedy's, indicates that men and women of the law (before whom this nation's War on Terra cases have at last landed), once they are confronted with Zubaydah, his treatment, and his "testimony," will lend his words little or no weight whatsoever.
Ginsburg is no wild-eyed "liberal activist" judge. In 1987 he was selected by President Ronald Reagan to sit on the United States Supreme Court. His nomination was withdrawn only after the Puritans recoiled at the news that he had occasionally smoked marijuana with his students at Harvard.
That judges from all over the political spectrum are refusing to credit tales torn from Zubaydah by torture leads inevitably to that day when the US government must admit that with Zubaydah it mortally erred.
Until, as Sinead O'Connor recently said of the Holy Father and his hierophants, it will be required that, in some secular and metaphorical manner, they "get on their knees and confess the full truth in the same language they make us use in Mass. They need to get on their knees, open everything up, be transparent, tell the truth, ask the people for forgiveness and prayers. That confession is their only hope of survival into the 21st century. It's a rickety bridge, but it is a bridge. And personally, I would be willing to bring them across that little bridge into the 21st century, and help them."
Bensayah is an Algerian man who was arrested in Bosnia in 2001 and eventually accused of helping people who wished to travel to Afghanistan and there join Al Qaeda.
Along the way there were also occasional nutter allegations that Bensayah and company were contemplating crimes like attacking the US Embassy in Sarajevo. But it is doubtful that even the "dark side" ops who came up with such stuff ever really believed it. The Supreme Court of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzogovinia certainly didn't believe it, because after a three-month investigation it found there was no reason to hold Bensayah and his five fellows. It was at that point, in January of 2002, that BushCo transported the men to the Guantanamo gulag . . . because that is how things were done in those days.
Fast forward seven years. In late 2008 District Judge Richard Leon released the five other men arrested with Bensayah, but ruled that Bensayah himself could be held indefinitely as an "unlawful combatant" because he provided "direct support" to Al Qaeda by "facilitating travel."
When Bensayah appealed, the Obama administration—to its credit—narrowed the argument previously presented by the factotums of George II. Whereas George II's people had asserted that Bensayah acted "in support" of Al Qaeda, the Obama administration argued that he was functionally "part" of Al Qaeda. The current prevailing opinion among the Obama people—who are, every day, behind the scenes, slugging it on out on these matters—is that indefinitely detaining someone who merely "supports" Bad People violates the Geneva Conventions.
In the event, the Ginsburg opinion seems to indicate that he and his two fellow judges wouldn't have given two figs if the government had argued Bensayah was a "supporter," a "part," or "a guy who looked once at an Al Qaeda dude on the street."
"The government presented no direct evidence of actual communication between Bensayah and any Al Qaeda member, much less evidence suggesting Bensayah communicated with" anyone else to facilitate travel by an Al Qaeda member, Ginsburg wrote.
In trying to tease out what is in and around the redacted portions of Ginsburg's opinion, it appears that the Obama administration—again to its credit—not only dropped the "support" argument, but also withdrew its reliance on statements from Zubaydah, with which George II's minions had secured Judge Leon's permission to hold Bensayah indefinitely. The Obama people apparently steered around the ravings of Zubaydah obtained via torture—which included a hallucination that Zubaydah and Bensayah had chatted on the phone about passports—and instead meekly offered some "raw intelligence reports" . . . which Judge Ginsburg swept aside as "evidence, viewed in isolation or together, [that] is insufficiently corroborative" of the claim that Bensayah was a "part" of Al Qaeda. What these reports were intended to "corroborate," it is clear from reading around the redactions, was info from Zubaydah, referenced in such maddening passages as: "contained in a classified document [REDACTED] from an unnamed source."
After years of lies from senior BushCo officials that Zubaydah was, among other things, "a senior Al Qaeda facilitator," Ginsburg's opinion discloses that the Obama administration is no longer willing to make that argument:
[T]he Government has eschewed reliance upon a portion of the evidence that the "senior al-Qaida facilitator" with whom Bensayah allegedly had contact was in fact a senior al Qaeda facilitator.
On remand, Judge Ginsburg's opinion instructs, Judge Leon is to abandon his nonsense that "[REDACTED] contains some inherent indicia of reliability[.]" Addressing Bensayah's discovery requests regarding the torture and other treatment of Zubaydah, Ginsburg wrote: "It is not necessary to address Bensayah's specific discovery requests relating to [REDACTED] because, as explained below, we hold this exhibit may not be relied upon by the district court on remand in the absence of additional corroborative evidence."
Summing up, Judge Ginsburg wrote:
On appeal the Government has eschewed reliance upon certain evidence the district court had considered and has abandoned its position that Bensayah's detention is lawful because of the support he rendered to al Qaeda; instead it argues only that his detention is lawful because he was "part of that organization—a contention the district court did not reach.
We agree with the Government that its authority under the AUMF extends to the detention of individuals who are functionally part of al Qaeda. The evidence upon which the district court relied in concluding Bensayah supported al Qaeda is insufficient, however, to show he was part of that organization. We therefore remand this case for the district court to determine whether, considering all reliable evidence, Bensayah was functionally part of al Qaeda.
The Obama administration—not to its credit—did not promptly heed the words of Bensayah's attorney, Mark Fleming, who asked that rather than drag Bensayah back to Judge Leon on remand, he be returned forthwith to his wife and his daughters: "We hope the United States will now do the right thing and release Mr. Bensayah so he can begin to rebuild his life after his long captivity."
Instead, the Justice Department is "reviewing" the ruling, to determine how it shall "respond." No doubt civil war has again broken out in that place, with the deadenders pushing for a return to the "support" argument. But at some point Attorney General Eric Holder and/or his deputies are going to have to put duncecaps on those people and tell them to go sit in the corner and keep quiet. As I argued at length here, more than two hundreds years of constitutional law commands that the job of a federal prosecutor is not to secure convictions, but to secure justice. And justice commands that Belkacem Bensayah be returned to his home and his family.

I've had a major struggle the past few days adding an HD Box to my new HD TV. I first went to the store and picked up one of the small, black models and a new dark gray remote. It does not show any lights when plugged in and my remote would not turn it on. I assumed it was a bad box so it went back to the store the next day.
The store is out of the small, black ones so I get a bigger gray one. I take it home and the remote can't turn it on though I can do it manually. Since the dark gray remote turns my TV on and off, I had assumed it was the box up to this point but, just to test, grab my light gray remote from another unit and find it works perfectly.
So I know something it wrong with this dark gray remote. I go back today and get a second dark gray remote. I get home and it too won't turn on or off the box though works perfectly with my TV.
What is going on here? Is Comcast giving me the wrong remote or am I supposed to do something in order for the unit to recognize the remote? Thanks.
Solved! Go to solution
The gray remotes should work, but will need the Cable device code changed, probably to 01376. I think they default to another code.
The DCT and DCH silver boxes need the older silver remote, the darker platnium remotes only work on a DCX or RNG box.
Does Comcast not tell their stores what remote goes with what? For a company which seems to be wanting to promote their customer service, this is the kind of avoidable issue they could remedy easily.
The gray remotes should work, but will need the Cable device code changed, probably to 01376. I think they default to another code.
Are you referring to doing something to the box or remote? Is there a way I can do this?
I found a solution and I'm posting it in hope that others may benefit.
If your remote does not work with your cable box, find the manufacturer and model number of your box (mine was on the bottom of the box).
Visit this site and pick your remote:
My new remote was the top left. You can go in there, enter the manufacturer and model number and it gives you a code. In my case, it was 01376 as suggested earlier in this thread. I believe that is the most common code.
Codes are also included on the little instruction sheet which comes from Comcast.
Here's how to re-program the cable button:
Turn on your box.
Press the "cable" button.
Press and hold the "setup" button until the cable button light blinks twice.
Enter "01376"
You should see two blinks on the cable button.
When I did this originally, it still did not work so I had to de-program the remote first. So, if the above does not get it done, try this:
Turn on your box.
Press the "cable" button.
Press and hold the "setup" button until the cable button light blinks twice.
Enter "982"
You should see the cable button blink four times.
Press and hold the "setup" button until the cable button light blinks twice.
Enter "01376"
You should see two blinks on the cable button.
TitanJeff wrote: ... You will see a single, longer blink on the cable button. Something wrong here. The programming instructions say:
If you perform this procedure correctly, the selected mode key will blink twice.
If you enter an invalid code, the selected mode key will display one long blink and exit the programming mode.
Thanks to Jeff for posting the solution - it worked for my new HD cable box and new remote (Comcast telephone help is pitiful).
Problem I have now is that "exit" used to get me out of guide mode but doesn't work now - I have to switch channels and return to the one I want to exit guide mode.
I and still waiting for channel 97 (assume CBS HD) " to be avaible shortly"
All in all, this service is way behind DirecTV.
I believe you are correct and I got mixed up with an earlier attempt. I'll see if I can edit my post.
IF you didnt do the 982 then 01376(sometimes you need to do this process twice in a row) I would recommend trying that. If you did that then Im not sure why the exit button isnt working. As far as one moment pls you either have a loose fitting or a signal issue. Check the connection behind the box and at the wall and everything in between. Also if you are running your coax cable through a surge protector you may want to try to go directly to the box because sometimes those will cause issues with the signal.
thank you thank you "titanjeff" its works!!! all the info you posted should be suggested by comcast customer service first before making a customer drive to a comcast store and ask for another remote control!!
How do I turn on the RNG 110 to try this? There seems to be no power switch anywhere on it.
When I plug the box in, should lights blink to show the power is connected? I'm getting nothing, suspect I have a dud box.
There is no power switch on a RNG110. If it doesn't power up with the Power adapter connected, then check the power adapter that is is 5 volts. It will not operate properly if the office gave you a 12 volt power adapter.
Thanks. It's a 5V. Sound like a dud box?
this fixed my remote!! thanks!!!!!!

When the song title "One In A Million" is uttered, Aaliyah's 1996 crossover hit is thought of, and for good reason. It still ranks as one of her definitive songs and is about as timeless as a modern day R&B record will get. Yet, I remember thinking a few months ago Ne-Yo's song of the same title wasn't half bad either. Beyond Libra Scale's disappointing first week numbers, there were some noteworthy tracks on the album from what I remember.
Call this Def Jam promoting co-worker unity, but at a recent company Holiday Happy Hour, Ne-Yo and Fire Marshall Fab decided it would be appropriate to give some spark to the record. Jadakiss, who also attended the on Loso's invite, tagged along for the ride and what we have here is the "official remix." Did it really go down like that? No, but the result is all the same.[audio:http://www.archive.org/download/Ne-yoFeat.FabolousJadakiss-oneInAMillionremix/NeyofeatJadakissFabolous-OneInAMillionrmx.mp3%5D

The south beach of Shadow Cliffs Lake closed Wednesday afternoon due to an extremely high E. coli bacteria measurement, according to the East Bay Regional Park District website.
Alameda County Environmental Health Department recommended the closure, stated the website.
According to EBRPD water management Supervisor Hal MacLean, the district sampled water Thursday afternoon and results should be ready by noon Friday.
Water samples will be taken daily until it is safe to reopen, which the district says should be in the next several days.
"Shadow Cliffs' water usually gets higher (E. coli) readings in the summer," said MacLean. "But the south beach's level spiked really high."
MacLean added that some of the contributions to the high readings could be the low water level, as well as not watering the lawn.
"We haven't been watering the lawn to conserve water," he said. "So instead of the geese congregating on the lawn, they're congregating on the beach."
The EBRPD website has provided the public with a rating system of the water quality.
The north beach, left of the lifeguard chair, is currently open with a "Yellow Light" water quality rating -- which means there is an increased health risk for swimming and wading, and bacteria results do not meet State Health Standards.
Sheryl Chance wasn't aware of the high readings of E. coli Thursday afternoon when she took her grandchildren to swim at the north beach. With no hesitation, she quickly told her grandchildren they couldn't swim.
"It's bacteria," she said. "I don't want them swimming in it. I wouldn't swim in it."
The daily maximum of the State's water quality bacteria level is 235. As of Tuesday, south beach's bacteria level was 24000 and north beach 680.

Lynne Cox on open water swimming; and Meghan Wren on swimming across the Delaware Bay
September 13, 2013
[REBROADCAST] Lynne Cox has swum across the Cook Strait, the Strait of Magellan, Lake Titicaca, even the frozen Bering Strait. She's considered one of the world's greatest open water swimmers. But why and how does she swim in these treacherous waters facing sharks, jellyfish, even hypothermia? She spoke to Marty last month about her swimming feats, her drive, and her unique body which allows her to go where no one else has gone before. Cox has written a new book for open water swimmers called, Open Water Swimming Manual: An Expert's Survival Guide for Triathletes and Open Water Swimmers. Marty also talked to Meghan Wren, Founder and Executive Director of Bayshore Center at Bivalve, who had just completed a 13.1 mile swim across the Delaware Bay from Port Mahon, Delaware to Fortescue, New Jersey.

So, I sit here at Shainghai airport and I realise just how little I have been ding with anyroad.net since I've arrived in China. Sure, I have't been getting into as much mischief as I usually do (though I assure I'm still getting into enough!) Though I feel a little guilty of not pushing out some articles. In truth I've just been really enjoying myself and not been completely focused…
As mentioned I sit here at the airport waiting for my connecting flight to Hong Kong. My three month tourist visa (Yes, that's right I've been working here illegally) is due to expire in a few days so I have to leave the country to pick up my working visa. Inshallah everything will go smoothly… That being said I have no place organised to stay, very little money and a few documents which supposedly will be enough to grant me permission to head back and continue working in China.
A quick recap on the last few weeks. Well, our work Christmas party was quite memorable (I won't go into detail 😉 Christmas dinner was had with some fellow foreign teachers that I hadn't met before, and New Year's was spent on my lonesome… I've already paid 6 months rent on my place so have effectively been pretty broke since I've arrived. Though in reality I need no excuse to be on my lonesome None the less all is well and I should hopefully now be able to start getting back on my feet.
I will be in Hong Kong for a week. Mixing business with pleasure. With no plan I am bound to get into some adventures. You will of course be hearing all about them! Stay tuned!

Although I am not glad others are having these symptoms, at least I don't feel so alone. I'm frustrated with the doctors, of course, the gyn says "All it shows is inflammation." No answers. The rheumatologist says, "Your gynecologist is taking care of the vaginal issues." HUH? In the meantime, I just keep itching and scratching.
The rheumatologist hasn't officially diagnosed me yet, but said "in the future we may treat your skin problems but for now, if you have lupus, you're just going to continue to get worse." Fun! I've given up for now. I just stay out of the sun and try to take care of myself. It's all too frustrating.

Washington, D.C. (Aug. 27, 2014) — Hundreds of occupational therapy clinicians, educators, and students from across the U.S. will meet with elected officials on Capitol Hill on Sept. 15, to discuss key legislative issues affecting the profession and the state of health care.
Organized by the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA), Hill Day is an opportunity for health care professionals to bring their concerns straight to their state's lawmakers, offer solutions, ask questions, and listen to guest speakers on the topics that affect their work. Last year, a record-breaking 750 occupational therapy practitioners and students from across the U.S. visited Capitol Hill to make their voices heard. To date, more than 450 have registered for the 2014 event.
"This Hill Day comes at an important time for the profession. With the help of occupational therapy practitioners' grassroots advocacy, momentum has gained throughout Congress in favor of repealing the Medicare Outpatient Therapy Cap and we are close to reaching our goal of 218 House co-sponsors by Sept. 18 (218 by 9/18)," said Heather Parsons, AOTA's Director of Legislative Advocacy. "Additionally, Hill Day attendees will focus on creating new policies to provide quality mental health and substance abuse care that should include occupational therapy services. We are excited to have hundreds of occupational therapy practitioners, educators, and students come to Capitol Hill to talk to lawmakers about occupational therapy."
Nationwide, more than 140,000 occupational therapy practitioners help people across the lifespan participate in the things they want and need to do through the therapeutic use of everyday activities (occupations). Legislation supporting access to occupational therapy can reduce overall health care costs by facilitating independence among patients.

Hello, in the newer SF's, we can link internal pages as a link using the 'Insert a link' function from the radEditor. The thing missing is the ability to add an anchor (or even a query) to a link.
The work around is to pick 'web address' and type in the url manually and add the anchor. Problem with that is the link will break if the page changes or moved.
Is there a way to provide an anchor to an internal link?
Hello Richard,
Thank you for contacting us.
In response to your concern - the scenario where the page is changed or moved won't break the link. The links are generated by Page's unique Id, and not by its name and the link will remain relevant, no matter if you move or rename the page. Only in the scenario where the page is deleted will lead to breaking the link.
Please explain to us further how you are planning to use the anchor links with internal links and what is the scenario that you are in right now - in order to provide you with better solution?
Hope this will help you.
The scenario is
1) edit page
2) insert link
3) select a page from the site
4) (desired but non-existent functionality) enter an anchor for the URL. Could be a textbox with a label 'anchor' or could even be a textbox with a label 'url suffix' so we can add any sort of url info.
The only way I can put an anchor on a url (in a link) is to manually enter in the whole url. Which is ok...ish. But I'd like to be able to put in anchors on the page selector and not just the page url (better for the users)
Yes please!!
Or QueryString, e.g.,:
Pick an internal page, and it records by GUID so URL/Name change doesn't matter BUT also you can put a querystring e.g., ?filterBy=Puppies
And SF will build this all up for you and render
I can't speak for Richard, but I was just wanting a modification to the Page Selector. When you choose "Page from this site", there should also be a free text field there where you can manually type any anchor link or query string.

After 5 Weeks Post Face and Neck Lift, I Have a Bunch of Skin Under my Ear Which Forms a Crease in my Neck. Feels Very Lumpy?

Lumpy Skin Bunch After Facelift
Firmness and some lumpiness are normal 5 weeks after facelift surgery; . Bunching of skin may or may not be within normal limits - a photograph would be helpful for better judgement. Of course, your facelift surgeon will know best.

Lump of skin by ear after facelift
Depending upon what type of facelift you had will determine why this is occurring. Sometimes with short scar facelifts the skin is not redraped behind the ear. This can lead to bunching. Photos would be helpful.

It is too early to say. You should wait about 8 to 12 weeks and know that some skin bunching during this time is normal.

Some degree of lumpiness, creasing, and minor contour irregularities are not unusual 5 weeks after a Facelift. I would expect these concerns to improve over the next few weeks. Sometimes lymphatic massage is helpful, in addition to time and patience.

Creases after facelift
Thank you for your question. It is possible to have some excess skin behind the ears after certain types of facelifts. This is especially true in short scar techniques. Most commonly, these soften and flatten over time. If not, they can be revised relatively easily.
Given that you are only 5 weeks post op, I would suggest giving the creases more time to resolve on their own. If there are any concerns, I would have your plastic surgeon take a look.
Best of luck with your continued recovery.
Jeff Rockmore
Creases behind the ears after facelift will soften with time
With the generalized facial swelling that patients experience after a facelift, its common to have some creasing and pleating in the wound closure behind the ear. I see them in my own patients and they soften and 'flatten' with time. Talk with your PS about your concerns.

5 Weeks Post Face and Neck Lift, Skin Bunching Under Ear
Skin bunching and wrinkling will likely improve over a period of months. Sometimes, the bunching or wrinkling needs to be revised. Without any pictures or an exam though, it is difficult to give any more information. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Lumpiness after facelift
Lumps and bumps are sometimes part of the healing process and you will need to give it some time before determining whether revision will be required. Continue to followup regularly with your plastic surgeon and to ask questions, if need be. Best wishes.
Lumpiness after facelift surgery
Lumpiness is normal. Full healing takes one year. You will be much better in on month and happy after 4 to 6 to12 months. These procedures take patient participation and patience. The patient's part of the deal is cooperation and patience in healing. Anxiety does not help. Mild massage, facials, and sleeping with head elevated helps. A mild heating pad treatment also can speed this along. My Best Dr C.

Leaflets inviting people to a "Bible-burning festival have stirred outrage in Malaysia. This coincided with a nationalist group leader urging to "seize and burn Malay-language Bibles, prompting calls for his prosecution.

Stanford's Lauren Kim shot a 3-under 67 to open the NCAA women's golf championship at the Tulsa (Oklahoma) Country Club on Tuesday. Kim's score placed the Stanford sophomore in a three-way for first heading into the second round of the 72-hole national finale.
Kim had little difficulty playing through the constant wind gusts reaching nearly 30 mph, and was one of just seven players to finish under par. Kim led Stanford to an opening-round 20-over 300, third-best score among the 12 teams in the morning wave. The Cardinal is one stroke behind Ohio State and Washington. First-place Oklahoma is 12 strokes ahead of the 10th-place Cardinal at 8-under. Cal is in sixth place.
The tournament continues Wednesday at the par-70 Tulsa Country Club.
Stanford's Mariah Stackhouse finished with a 5-over 75, her highest score to par in over a month.
The Stockton Ports (23-23) scored a run in the seventh inning to break a 3-3 tie and went on to beat the host San Jose Giants (20-26) 5-3.

Tampa Bay reality show competitors: Here's your game plan
Three of the biggest reality shows on TV right now each have Tampa Bay contestants, and I just happen to have way too many many opinions on how to succeed on Survivor, The Amazing Race and even a little bit about The Voice.
Survivor, the reality show that started it all and continues to draw rabid fans, is currently beset by Monica and Brad Culpepper, the ex-Buccaneer and his Survivor-alum wife on a neat twist called Survivor: Blood vs. Water in which loved ones are cast together on the island. But they don't play together on the same team, at least for now. This week, math-challenged Brad got one of his closest allies and a strong player voted off, which seemed kind of dumb when your team is losing challenges. But Monica tweeted this week the reason John was a smart pick: "John has no Galang connection! Won't hurt me." The twist this season is when you send someone out, you make an enemy of their loved one in the other camp. Since John's wife Candice was already on Redemption Island, no harm to Monica. Brad is getting cast as the team leader and that puts a target on his muscled back. And that can also put a target on Monica's in this twist that turns the game into 3D chess.
The Amazing Race, winner of 13 Emmy awards for its incredible footage taken on the road around the world, includes in its 23rd season airing Sunday a comely team of "Baseball wives" Kim (wife of Tampa Bay Rays' David DeJesus) and Nicky (wife of Royals player Chris Getz). Last Sunday, Kim called on the power of her son "Spidey" to find the guts to soar 2,000 feet above sea level on a paraglider. Her Spidey sense finally kicked in because she seemed to have a genuine freakout, but she came off as endearing. The winning teams on Amazing Race tend to be a team of two fit guys who don't bicker. Nicky and Kim are certainly two fit women and they don't seem to bicker much, so there may be hope for them.
The Voice overthrew usual Emmy favorite The Amazing Race this year and it is surging in the ratings once again, making us forget all about American Idol. On Tuesday night, gospel singer R. Anthony (real name Renard Edwards) from Tampa made it onto Team Cee Lo and former Tampa Bay Buccaneers cheerleader Donna Allen, who grew up in Tampa, got two judges to turn around with her version of You Are So Beautiful. She chose Adam to be her coach. The best strategy for winning on The Voice the last two seasons has been to get on Blake Shelton's team. The country hunk seems to have secured the home audience vote. The show, however, has yet to secure a genuine music star like Kelly Clarkson or Carrie Underwood. So even if you win, it doesn't seem to be the magic ticket to stardom that people thought American Idol once was.

text: I am a little confused in terms of the use of "wa". From what I understand, "wa" is a particle marking the subject of the sentence. I really have 2 questions: 1. In one of the referenced websites in this forum, it says: Onamae wa nan desu ka - means What is your name but to me it seems like it means "What is the name" so I think the right way is: Anato no namae wa nan desu ka - this makes sense to me because if I break it down, I know "Anato no namae" means "your name", and "nan desu ka means "what is it". So my first question is: Is my opinion correct? And is it possible/ acceptable to say "Anato no onamae wa nan desu ka"? I feel like I am missing/ overlooking something. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Moderator note: The second question is now a separate thread.

Dell partners with DataMotion to offer email encryption
When Dell acquired SonicWALL in 2012 it was heralded as a significant step in providing greater security to the company's enterprise customers.
It's now announced a partnership with email encryption specialist DataMotion to allow users of SonicWALL email security to encrypt their sensitive emails and attachments.
The alliance will provide compliance-grade encryption capabilities for all emails and file attachments with just a simple mouse-click from within the Outlook client. The combined DataMotion-Dell SonicWALL solution helps prevent confidential data leaks and regulatory violations thanks to advanced compliance scanning, management and email encryption thus ensuring the secure exchange of email containing sensitive customer data or confidential information.
"We were very focused on partnering with a cloud-based email encryption solution that offered the best end-user experience on both desktop and mobile platforms. After evaluating the leading email encryption providers, it was clear that the DataMotion solution was the best choice for us," says Patrick Sweeney, executive director of product management at Dell. "Their encryption technology complements our existing email security portfolio very well, and the DataMotion team was really easy to work with and willing to accommodate our specific needs and requirements".
Encrypted email is now a legal requirement for some organizations in order to comply with privacy regulations like HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act). The DataMotion platform allows Dell to offer its customers a powerful but easy to use, cloud-hosted service that can guard emails and attachments against data theft or accidental exposure.
"It is extremely satisfying to have our cloud-based email encryption technology recognized and adopted by a world leader in email security appliance solutions," says Bob Bales, CEO of DataMotion. "I am particularly pleased that Dell recognized not only our technical prowess, but also our agility and strength as an organization to support their offer worldwide. We are thrilled to be a part of the Dell Software partner family".
You can find out more about SonicWALL security products on the Dell website.

Sir David Attenborough
For 50 years Sir David Attenborough has brought the far reaches of the natural world into the comfort of our own homes.
He's produced 10 major series for the BBC the most recent being Planet Earth.
At the launch of his friend Tim Flannery's new book, The Weather Makers, Sir David shared his thoughts on climate change.
If my grandchildren thought of me when they looked at the desolation that has overcome great patches of the earth and thought, 'He knew what was happening but he did nothing about it', I would feel deeply, deeply ashamed of myself.
Sir David on the futurePopulation growth and climate change
The fact that over twice as many people inhabit the Earth as when I was born draws you short. The planet cannot sustain an infinitely growing population.
I saw some graphs that plotted CO2 in the atmosphere over the past thousand years. Plotted against that was human population over time.
Superimposed over one another, they were almost identical. Humanity has changed the climate.
A colleague of mine back from the Antarctic reported that grass is now growing on the Antarctic continent.
Sir David AttenboroughHow else do humans affect nature?
My job is to film nature in the wild, where it flourishes. Remote places have become more and more difficult to find.
I find myself going back to places and being horrified by what I see. I remember the richest rainforest in Borneo - it had been cut down to make a plantation of oil palm.
The plantation was abandoned because the soil on which that forest flourished was poor and could not support oil palm trees. There was eroded clay, a wasteland, a sterile, empty wasteland.Waste not, want not?
During World War II there was a morality about waste - it was sinful to be wasteful. So this is a moral question.
It shapes how we conduct our lives, how we look at energy and how we look at waste.
We can have no doubt the world is warming. Our job is to protect the marvellous world which we are part of, right now.
Sir David on climate changeIs wind part of the solution?
All power has a price. Science has an obligation to generate power which has the minimum price.
We know that wind has less of a price to pay. To dismiss wind generation simply on the grounds that it spoils the view, does not appreciate the scale of the problem.What can we do?
Small things might seem trivial: Turn off that light. Don't book that expensive aircraft seat when you could go by rail. Switch off the standby on your television set.
The most powerful changes of human behaviour come from change in the attitudes of what we think is moral.
It's about people not saying 'What a wonderful, powerful car' but instead thinking - 'That car's squandering precious resources .and that's something I wouldn't do'.
