NYS High Court: County Not Required To Seek Out Landowner's New Mailing Address After Move When Tax-Foreclosing On Real Estate
In Warren County, New York, the North Country Gazette reports:
- The state's highest court has ruled that Warren County officials were not constitutionally required to try and seek out a new address to give a property owner notice before seizing his property in the Town of Chester for overdue taxes and selling the property at a foreclosure sale in 1999 after he had moved and his forwarding address had expired.
In an unanimous decision, the Court of Appeals ruled that W. James and Andrea Mac Naughton of Short Hills, NJ, had not been deprived of their property without due process of law and that the county had satisfied due process requirements in its effort to notify the property owners that an in rem tax foreclosure proceeding had been been initiated against their property after documents sent to the address listed for them on the tax roll were returned by the postal service as undeliverable.
When an owner of real property moves and does not give a new address to the collector of real property taxes, he or she may fail to receive notices of overdue taxes and related legal proceedings and the property may consequently be lost in foreclosure.
The U.S. Supreme Court and NY Court of Appeals have held that, in such situations, due process requires taxing authorities to take reasonable steps to track down the missing taxpayer being seizing and selling her or her property.
This case raised the question of how much a taxing authority is required to do. The MacNaughtons had argued that, when notice mailed to them at their last known address, in New Jersey, proved undeliverable, the tax collector was required to find some means of making personal service on them, or to address a notice to "occupant" at the former address, or to search New Jersey public records for a new address.
In 1988, the MacNaughtons acquired a vacant lot in the Town of Chester in Warren County. They then lived in South Orange, NJ, and their South Orange address appeared on the deed.
The Town sent them real property tax bills at that address, and the MacNaughtons paid them.
In 1993, the MacNaughtons moved from South Orange to Millburn,NJ. They arranged with the post office to forward their mail, but they did not then inform the Town of Chester taxing authorities of their new address.
The 1994 tax bill was forwarded from South Orange to Millburn, and paid.
The MacNaughtons claim that, after receiving the forwarded bill, they gave their new address to the Town in a handwritten note and in a telephone call, but plaintiffs have no record of either communication, and neither is reflected in the Town's records.
"To accept undocumented claims of this kind would be to invite abuse", the court wrote, "and we therefore conclude that plaintiffs' 'bare allegation' is insufficient to defeat summary judgment on the issue of whether they gave notice of their change of address to the Town; we take it as established that they gave no such notice".
A year after the MacNaughtons moved, their forwarding arrangement with the post office expired. Tax bills for the next three years, mailed to them at the South Orange address, were returned to the Town.
In 1998,Warren County sent a warning letter to the South Orange address that was also returned, and then began a foreclosure proceeding. It served plaintiffs with the petition and notice of petition by certified mail addressed to the South Orange address. The mailing was returned with the notation: "Undeliverable as Addressed – Forwarding Order Expired."
The MacNaughtons defaulted in the foreclosure proceeding and title to the property passed to the County, which sold it at auction in 1999.
The MacNaughtons did not learn of these events until 2003.
After unsuccessful federal litigation, they began the state action in 2005, asserting that the attempts to give them notice of the foreclosure were constitutionally inadequate, and seeking a declaration that they still owned the property.
Supreme Court granted the County's motion for summary judgment, and the Appellate Division affirmed. The MacNaughtons then appealed to the Courty of Appeals as of right.
At the time the county began its foreclosure proceeding in 1998, the Real Property Tax Law required that notice of the proceeding be published in at least two newspapers and that it be "mailed, by ordinary first class mail" to the owners of the property. It is not disputed that the County complied with the statutes. The question is whether the State or Federal Constitution required it to do more.
The Court says no. However, it should be noted that the law has been changed and Real Property Tax Law now requires that notice be mailed by certified and first class mail. If these documents are returned, additional steps must be taken by municipal authorities to locate the property owner, including contacting the postal service to determine if other mailing addresses are available and on file.
For the ruling, see Mac Naughton v. Warren County, 2012 NY Slip Op 08442 (NY December 11, 2012).

Thanks for letting us know...
There are several ghost bikes that will need some TLC (or replacement) in the coming year, including Neill Townsend's bike at Oak and Wells.
I've updated the Chicago Ghost Bikes reference adding Virginia "Ginny" Murray, 2979 W Belmont Ave, SE corner at Sacramento:
TCL event poosting for Virginia Murray ghostbike installation, 7pm Thursday July 7th 2016 at Belmont and Sacramento (~2960 W):
Yes, we will both be at Tour de Fat - in matching giraffe costumes. We're volunteering.
Thank you Kathy, I really appreciate the kind words. Unfortunately, I'm not going to be able to come out on Thursday. I met you at the Bike to Work Rally and took the photo of your matching outfits with Suzy. https://www.instagram.com/p/BHA170xodgJ/?taken-by=thechainlink
I'll be at Tour de Fat this weekend. Hopefully I'll see you there?
Yasmeen - will you be there? I have never met you and would like to shake your hand. You're doing a great job!
If you would like to attend the ghost bike memorial for Virginia Murray, Kristen Green posted this:

Belmont and Sacramento
So this tragic thing happened.
A girl died.
She was not a controversial person.
She was just like you.
She woke up one morning and said to herself I am gonna ride a bike today.
Innocently she goes to a divvy ride share kiosk and boom she is riding the statistically safest form of biking to date. She reassures herself that she has got this. She can handle it, she is lived her short 25 years but if a child can do it....She knows the rules of the road quite well, she goes slow as the bike was never built for speed in the first place. Then she comes up to Belmont and Sacramento and boom !Before she knows it she is on the ground bleeding heart pounding which a truck on top of her. She tries to get up, unable to move, she eventually is picked up from an ambulance, where they rush take her to the hospital. The doctors fought hard for her. She was so young she probably fought with everything she had, but sadly it still was not enough. I wonder what her last thoughts were. Was she angry ? Was she sad? Was she just remembering her family and loved ones? I would like to think she was smiling as she was just out for a ride on a beautiful day.
Anthony Arce has been deeply moved by this and reached out to our community to get a ghost bike in her honor as he was so deeply saddened by what he witnessed that day. So we have come together with other members of the community and will be placing a memorial "ghost bike" this Thursday 7-7-16 @7 pm to honor her. If you would like to drop by a flower or a candle or note there please do!

Tips and Guidelines on How to Reinvent Oneself At 30
Everyone in their 20s always have a vision of how their life should turn out by the time they hit 30 which is a point in life when one feels the pressure to put their life together, achieve their goals and also have some sort of direction. It is very common to see that most people do not have it all figured out by then and there is thus no need to feel bad in case you are among them. The greatest mistake that most people do at this golden age that costs them heavily is starting to compare their achievements with those of their friends and in the end failing to focus their energy and attention in the right direction which compromises their quality in the long run. Reinventing yourself is not a one-day event but a process that involves various changes that one has got to make to ensure that they better their lives based on some of the tips and guidelines discussed below.
Experimenting is one of the crucial things that anyone planning for self-reinvention must do to ensure that they avoid staying too comfortable in some areas and facing challenges when the time for a big change comes. The reason why it is vital to experiment with new things is that it is great not just for the body but also one's mental wellbeing as well which brings the need for people to always look for new things to do daily. For anyone wondering what new things they should experiment are, it is vital to note that the smallest things matter a big deal at the end of the day and it is where they should start before proceeding to bigger things in the end. Hiring a resume writer, for instance, can be so helpful especially when it comes to pointing out one's successes and guiding one on their new journey with all the happiness, love and motivation. There is also no giving up at this stage but one must try as many time as possible until they finally achieve their goals.
Other things to do include asking oneself if you are ready to change, associating with the right people as they help to model one's behavior and also ensuring that one learns something new every day.

Petrolia axe thrower sharp in VegasMay 9, 2019 7:10am
A local axe thrower continues to cut down the competition on the world stage.
Petrolia native Brett Dewhirst won two world titles in axe throwing at the Blade Aces "Game of Throws II" competition in Las Vegas last month. He took top spot in the axe throwing pro category as well as the silhouette.
The 23-year-old Dewhirst said while he didn't finish as high in the knife throwing events, he was still able to set a new world record.
"In the gold cup round [of knife throwing] it's out of 90 total points in the head to head matchup, so I'm going from two metres, and then going back each metre back to seven metres every three throws. From there, the previous world record out of 90 was 85, and I scored an 87," he said.
Dewhirst said he first started axe throwing in 2016 at Sarnia's Valley Axe.
"A friend of mine asked me about three years ago if I wanted to go axe throwing before we went out drinking, and it snowballed from there. I was soon going there every weekend, I became a league member, then I started working there, and now I compete for them," said Dewhirst. "That's my home range, so I'm typically there most nights getting ready for my next throws."
Dewhirst said whether you're playing competitively or recreationally, axe throwing can be a lot of fun.
"It's still very new, but you can take it as seriously as you want to. So it's kind of like bowling — you can just have it as something fun to do, or you can take it more seriously and do competitions," he said.
Dewhirst won the pro knife and pro axe events during the International Knife Throwers Hall of Fame World Championships in Austin, Texas last fall, and won the gold cup head to head championship and conventional scoring title at last year's Canadian Nationals.
Dewhirst said his next big event is IKTHOF World Championships in Pembroke in June, followed by the IKTHOF National Championship in Sarnia later in the year

Visualization on JURECA¶
JURECA Visualization Nodes¶
JURECA contains two login visualization nodes and a partition of ten visualization nodes integrated in the batch system. All vis nodes are dedicated to GPU-assisted remote data visualization. Ten visualization nodes with 512 GB main memory and two nodes with 1024 GB main memory for memory demanding visualization or other pre- or post-processing tasks are offered. Each vis node is equipped with two NVIDIA Tesla K40 GPUs.
Here is an overview about the configuration:
6 visualization login nodes:
- ssh access via
jurecavis[01-06].fz-juelich.dein round-robin fashion)
- 512 GB main memory, 2 NVIDIA Tesla K40 GPUs
- login nodes, that means direct access via ssh possible
- shared by all users logged in
4 visualization batch nodes with 512 GB main memory:
- 512 GB main memory, 2 NVIDIA Tesla K40 GPUs
- access via batch system, partition
- X server needs to be started for remote rendering with option
- typical arguments for sbatch or salloc:
-p vis --gres=mem512,gpu:2 --start-xserver
- at most 4 nodes can be allocated in one batch job
2 visualization batch nodes with 1024 GB main memory:
- 1024 GB main memory, 2 NVIDIA Tesla K40 GPUs
- access via batch system, partition
- X server needs to be started for remote rendering with option
- typical arguments for sbatch or salloc:
-p vis --gres=mem1024,gpu:2 --start-xserver
How to Use the Visualization Nodes¶
A graphical login simplifies the access to remote visualization and the data stored on the file system. Hence, we support and recommend the use of Virtual Network Computing (VNC) on the visualization nodes of JURECA. VNC provides a complete graphical and remote desktop by
- transmitting the keyboard and mouse events from your computer to the remote machine and
- relaying the graphical screen updates back in the other direction.
VNC is
- platform-independent (VNC viewers are available for almost any operating system)
- application-independent (no need for remote visualization support inside the application)
With the help of VirtualGL installed on JURECA vis nodes OpenGL commands of visualization software can be processed on their local GPUs.
In contrast to X-forwarding (
ssh -X) this can speed up visualization tremendously especially for large data sets.
For further details about how to use the vis nodes of JURECA for remote rendering please refer to the visualization related documentation at https://trac.version.fz-juelich.de/vis/

Wikipedia says:
A caliper is a device used to measure the distance between two opposite sides of an object.
Therefor under this definition doesn't a micrometer also count as a caliper?
As a result of numerous comments and some investigation I have rewritten my answer.
The Oxford English dictionary defines "caliper" as follows:
1 (calipers} An instrument for measuring external or internal dimensions, having two hinged legs resembling a pair of compasses and in-turned or out-turned points.
1.1 A measuring instrument having one linear component sliding along another, with two parallel jaws and a vernier scale.
Merriam Webster's dictionary has a slightly different definition for "caliper" and this is similar to the definition mentioned by @Dmckee:
Any of various measuring instruments having two usually adjustable arms, legs, or jaws used especially to measure diameter or thickness —usually used in plural a pair of calipers
"Micrometer screw" from the Oxford dictionary:
A screw of fine pitch attached to optical and other instruments for making fine adjustments of position.
Micrometer from Merriam Webster's dictionary:
1 An instrument used with a telescope or microscope for measuring minute distances
2 A caliper for making precise measurements that has a spindle moved by a finely threaded screw
The Wikipedia article "Micrometer" uses the term "micrometer-screw calipers" and notes that such devices were introduced to the mass market by the company Brown and Sharpe who were founded in Providence, Rhode Island.
The Oxford dictionary defines "micrometer" as follows:
A gauge which measures small distances or thicknesses between its two faces, one of which can be moved away from or towards the other by turning a screw with a fine thread.
It would seem to me that the term "micrometer screw gauge" is commonly used in the UK and "micrometer screw calipers" is commonly used in the US and any difference being masked by the usage of the shortened version "micrometer".
"England and America are two countries separated by the same language"
A micrometer is so named because it's for high-precision length measurements. There are several geometries:
The first of these is a type of caliper, since it grabs either side of the object you're interested in. The others, however, are for measuring interior lengths or depths, and "caliper" feels like the wrong word for those.

This is a scalable context timeline. It contains events related to the event April 7, 2006: New York Times Publishes Its First Mention of AT&T Whistleblower's Allegations. You can narrow or broaden the context of this timeline by adjusting the zoom level. The lower the scale, the more relevant the items on average will be, while the higher the scale, the less relevant the items, on average, will be.
Retired AT&T technician Mark Klein (see July 7, 2009 and May 2004) is gladdened to see the New York Times's reports on the Bush administration's warrantless wiretapping program (see December 15, 2005 and December 24, 2005). Klein has known since 2002 that the National Security Agency (NSA) has been using AT&T facilities to illegally eavesdrop on American citizens' telephone and Internet communications (see Late 2002, January 2003, October 2003, Fall 2003, Late 2003, Late 2003, and January 16, 2004). He has considered going public with his knowledge, but has so far refrained because, he will later explain, "[t]he atmosphere was still kind of scary." He will later say of the Times report, "They seemed to be talking mainly about phone calls, but anyway, it was revealed that there was an illegal spying program going on, and I thought, 'Ah, this would probably blow the whole thing,' and I thought it would all come out, and I don't need to do anything." However, Klein is horrified to see the government's response. He will say: "[W]hat came out was the government turned around and went on the offensive against anybody who would dare to criticize them.… They're issuing threats: Anyone who has a security clearance and spills any beans here is in for prosecution. That was deliberately said by them several times on TV to intimidate anybody in, say, the NSA who knew the truth, intimidate them so they would not come forward. So that silenced anybody in the intelligence community" (see December 17, 2005, December 19, 2005, December 21, 2005, December 30, 2005, and January 25-26, 2006). In his 2009 book Wiring Up the Big Brother Machine… and Fighting It, Klein will write that the Justice Department's December 2005 investigation into the leak of classified information that led to the Times reports (see December 30, 2005) "was obviously intended to silence Congress, the media, and any potential whistleblowers inside the NSA who might have been tempted to come forward. The administration was manipulating the secrecy oath which people had taken to get security clearances, turning it into a weapon to silence anyone who had knowledge of wrongdoing." Klein decides that he must come forward. He never received a security clearance, so he cannot be threatened with legal action over violating such clearance. He will explain: "All I had and still have are some company documents and some knowledge of some illicit NSA installation at AT&T's network. And if anybody—say, Congress—was willing to follow the trail, I can give them all the names they want, and they can go up the hierarchy of AT&T all the way up to Dave Dorman, who was the president back then, and they can go even higher, and they can find out who is responsible for this, and they can ask them under oath and subpoena what the heck is going on here, if they had the will to do it." Klein later admits to some hesitation and trepidation at undertaking such an effort, and will cite the "McCarthyite" atmosphere he says the government has created in which "dissidents become the target of a lynch mob searching for 'terrorists.'" But, he will write, he believes the Times stories are "a political indication of a shift at the top of government, a split of some kind which could provide an opening.… Maybe they would publish my material, I thought, and that would provide some protection." By December 31, Klein writes a preface to his memo from almost two years before (see January 16, 2004 and December 31, 2005). [PBS Frontline, 5/15/2007; Klein, 2009, pp. 52-53]

Retired AT&T technician Mark Klein (see July 7, 2009 and May 2004), angered by the Bush administration's counterattack against government and media members who have helped to expose its warrantless wiretapping operation (see December 15-31, 2005), decides to go public with a memo he wrote about his own knowledge of the collusion between AT&T and the National Security Agency (NSA) in eavesdropping on American citizens' communications (see January 16, 2004). He updates the memo with a brief preface, selects eight pages of the 121 pages of AT&T documentation he possesses which he believes gives a good overview of the NSA's surveillance equipment installation, and includes the two photographs he has taken of the NSA's "secret room" at the AT&T facility in San Francisco and the Internet research he has done on the Narus STA 6400 equipment the NSA is using to sort the communications being captured and recorded (see Late 2003). Instead of entrusting his newly refurbished memo to the Internet, he uses the PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) security protocol for anticipated dissemination, burns the data onto a CD, and begins searching online for civil liberties groups that might be interested in his work.

Electronic Frontier Foundation logo. [Source: Flickr.com]The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), a civil liberties and privacy-advocacy organization, files a lawsuit against telecommunications giant AT&T for allegedly violating the law and the privacy of its citizens by cooperating with the National Security Agency in the NSA's construction of what the EFF calls a "massive, illegal program to wiretap and data-mine Americans' communications." EFF lawyer Kevin Bankston says: "Our goal is to go after the people who are making the government's illegal surveillance possible. They could not do what they are doing without the help of companies like AT&T. We want to make it clear to AT&T that it is not in their legal or economic interests to violate the law whenever the president asks them to." Unprecedented Access to Communications System - EFF alleges that as part of the NSA's domestic spying program, AT&T has allowed the NSA direct access to the phone and Internet communications passing over its network, and has given the government "unfettered access to its over 300 terabyte 'Daytona' database of caller information—one of the largest databases in the world." One of AT&T's databases, nicknamed "Hawkeye," contains 312 terabytes of data detailing nearly every telephone communication on AT&T's domestic network since 2001, the lawsuit alleges. The suit goes on to claim that AT&T allowed the NSA to use the company's powerful Daytona database management software to quickly search this and other communication databases. AT&T, the suit claims, is in violation of the First and Fourth Amendments, federal wiretapping statutes, telecommunications laws, and the Electronic Communications Privacy Act. The suit requests fines up to $22,000 for each AT&T customer, and punitive fines—damages that could potentially reach into the billions of dollars. The EFF lawsuit is one of over 30 lawsuits filed for similar reasons (see June 26, 2006). The lawsuit will survive a number of initial legal challenges by the Justice Department and AT&T, including AT&T's contention that "whatever we did, the government told us to do" and therefore it should be immune from such lawsuits, and the Justice Department's invocation of "national security" and the possibility of the revelation of "state secrets" (see March 9, 1953). EFF retorts, "In this country we follow the law, we don't just follow orders." Bankston tells a reporter, "If state secrecy can prevent us from preserving the rights of millions upon millions of people, then there is a profound problem with the law." Suit Alleges Criminal Actions, Does Not Challenge Government's Right to Wiretap - The lawsuit does not challenge the government's right to electronically monitor legitimate terrorism suspects, nor does it challenge the judicial right to issue warrants for such surveillance. Rather, EFF writes: "Wiretaps on terrorists are allowed under the law, and this lawsuit is not challenging the wiretap laws. We have sued AT&T for breaking those laws—the telecommunications giant gave the government access to its communications switches and its huge databases of information on millions of ordinary Americans. These are AT&T customers who have not even been accused of affiliations with terrorists. Americans can be both safe and free: if the government truly believes it has cause to wiretap a suspect, it can order AT&T to provide information under FISA [the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act]—for up to 72 hours before going to the court. But AT&T has no business providing direct access to the communications of millions of ordinary Americans, without the checks and balances of Congress or the courts."

Retired AT&T technician Mark Klein (see December 15-31, 2005 and July 7, 2009), working with a civil liberties group about his knowledge of governmental illegality in eavesdropping on Americans' telephone and Internet communications (see Early January 2006), is concerned that the New York Times will not publish a story featuring his allegations and evidence against AT&T and the National Security Agency (NSA). Klein was "outed" by Los Angeles Times editor Dean Baquet to the US intelligence apparatus after Klein approached a Los Angeles Times reporter about his story, and Klein is concerned that he lacks the protection that publicity would afford him (see February 11, 2006 and After). New York Times reporters James Risen and Eric Lichtblau fail to contact Klein for weeks during this time period, leaving Klein to wonder if the New York Times, like the Los Angeles Times before it, will fail to publish his story. Klein emails Risen and Lichtblau his full set of AT&T documents proving his allegations in mid-February (see December 31, 2005). Meanwhile, he sends emails containing selected documents to a number of Congressional members. Only one, House Representative Pete Stark (D-CA), responds, promising that he will present Klein's information to the House Judiciary Committee, but, as Klein will write, "I never heard anything from the Judiciary Committee, or any other committee for that matter."

Retired AT&T technician and incipient whistleblower Mark Klein (see December 15-31, 2005 and July 7, 2009) issues his first press release, summarizing his knowledge of AT&T's complicity with the National Security Agency (NSA) in that agency's illegal domestic wiretapping program (see December 31, 2005). Klein has given documentation supporting his claims to the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) in support of that organization's lawsuit against AT&T (see January 31, 2006). Klein's press release tells of the NSA's "secret room" in AT&T's Folsom Street, San Francisco, facility (see January 2003) and reveals for the first time the NSA's use of the Narus STA 6400 to comb through the wiretapped data (see January 16, 2004). The release reads in part: "Based on my understanding of the connections and equipment at issue, it appears the NSA is capable of conducting what amounts to vacuum-cleaner surveillance of all the data crossing the Internet—whether that be people's email, Web surfing, or any other data. Given the public debate about the constitutionality of the Bush administration's spying on US citizens without obtaining a FISA warrant (see December 18, 2005, December 20, 2005, December 21, 2005, December 21, 2005, December 25, 2005, January 5, 2006, January 10, 2006, January 18, 2006, January 18, 2006, and January 31, 2006), I think it is critical that this information be brought out into the open, and that the American people be told the truth about the extent of the administration's warrantless surveillance practices, particularly as it relates to the Internet. Despite what we are hearing (see December 19, 2005, December 19, 2005, December 21-22, 2005, and January 19, 2006), and considering the public track record of this administration (see December 24, 2005, Early 2006, January 23, 2006, January 25-26, 2006, and February 2, 2006), I simply do not believe their claims that the NSA's spying program is really limited to foreign communications or otherwise consistent with the NSA's charter or with FISA. And unlike the controversy over targeted wiretaps of individuals' phone calls, this potential spying appears to be applied wholesale to all sorts of Internet communications of countless citizens." Klein issues the press release in part to give himself some publicity, and the protection from government harassment such publicity might entail (see February 11, 2006 and After).

The New York Times publishes its first report on the allegations by former AT&T technician Mark Klein (see December 15-31, 2005 and July 7, 2009), who is providing evidence and documentation to the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) for that organization's lawsuit against AT&T (see December 31, 2005 and January 31, 2006). The three-paragraph squib, buried deep in the pages of the "A" section, says that AT&T "cooperated with the National Security Agency in 2003 to install equipment capable of 'vacuum-cleaner surveillance' of email messages and other Internet traffic." The report is based in part on a recent press release issued by Klein (see April 6, 2006), and notes the EFF lawsuit in passing. It admits that Klein has provided some of the documentation to the press, if not to the Times itself (see Mid-February - Late March, 2006), but simply writes that Klein's documents "describe a room at the AT&T Internet and telephone hub in San Francisco that contained a piece of equipment that could sift through large volumes of Internet traffic." Klein later calls the brevity and incompleteness of the report "puzzling," and will say, "Their only purpose seemed to be to signal the government that I had 'provided' the New York Times with the documents, while minimizing the story for everyone else." Klein will speculate, "It looked like some kind of backroom brawl was going on, but the public could not know the details." [New York Times, 4/7/2006; Klein, 2009, pp. 70] A week later, the Times will publish a more in-depth article (see April 12, 2006).

The New York Times does a more in-depth report on the allegations advanced by former AT&T technician Mark Klein (see December 15-31, 2005 and July 7, 2009), who is providing evidence and documentation to the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) for that organization's lawsuit against AT&T (see December 31, 2005 and January 31, 2006). The Times published a far briefer report five days earlier (see April 7, 2006). The article provides a brief synopsis of Klein's allegations—that AT&T worked with the National Security Agency (NSA) to illegally monitor and record millions of Americans' telephone and Internet communications and thus illegally invaded its customers' privacy. It also notes, as did the first article, that Klein had provided some of his documentation "to reporters," though neither article admits that the Times received the documents months beforehand (see Mid-February - Late March, 2006). The new information in the article is the conclusion of "four independent telecommunications and computer security experts" who examined Klein's documents "at the request of The New York Times." According to the four experts, the documents "describe equipment capable of monitoring a large quantity of email messages, Internet phone calls, and other Internet traffic. The equipment… was able to select messages that could be identified by keywords, Internet or email addresses, or country of origin and divert copies to another location for further analysis." All four experts agreed that the documents proved "AT&T had an agreement with the federal government to systematically gather information flowing on the Internet through the company's network. The gathering of such information, known as data mining, involves the use of sophisticated computer programs to detect patterns or glean useful intelligence from masses of information." Brian Reid, the director of engineering at the Internet Systems Consortium, says of the AT&T/NSA project: "This took expert planning and hundreds of millions of dollars to build. This is the correct way to do high volume Internet snooping." An expert who refuses to be named says the documents are "consistent" with Bush administration claims that the NSA only monitored foreign communications and communications between foreign and US locations, in part because of the location of the monitoring sites. (An expert witness, former AT&T and FCC employee J. Scott Marcus, has given testimony for EFF that flatly contradicts this expert's assertions—see March 29, 2006). The article notes the Justice Department's objections to Klein's documents being filed with the court in the EFF lawsuit, and notes that the department withdrew its objections (see Late March - April 4, 2006). It also notes AT&T's request for the court to order the EFF to return the documents because they are, the firm claimed, "proprietary" (see April 6-8, 2006). AT&T spokesman Walt Sharp says of Klein and the EFF lawsuit: "AT&T does follow all laws with respect to assistance offered to government agencies. However, we are not in a position to comment on matters of national security." NSA spokesman Don Weber makes a similar statement: "It would be irresponsible of us to discuss actual or alleged operational issues as it would give those wishing to do harm to the United States the ability to adjust and potentially inflict harm." [New York Times, 4/12/2006] Klein will write of the story, "Finally it was out there in a major newspaper, though I noticed that the New York Times did not show any images of the actual documents, and never called me back for an in-depth followup story."

Former Los Angeles Times editor Dean Baquet says his newspaper did not bow to government pressure in choosing not to run a story about allegations by AT&T whistleblower Mark Klein (see July 7, 2009, December 15-31, 2005, and February 11, 2006 and After). In an ABC News report on Klein's allegations of AT&T's complicity with the National Security Agency (NSA) to illegally conduct warrantless electronic surveillance against American citizens, Klein says that the Times bowed to government pressure from the then-Director of National Intelligence John Negroponte and the then-Director of the NSA Michael Hayden. Baquet, now the Washington bureau chief of the New York Times, says that while he spoke to both Negroponte and Hayden about the story, "government pressure played no role in my decision not to run the story." Instead, Baquet says he and managing editor Doug Frantz decided "we did not have a story, that we could not figure out what was going on" based on Klein's highly technical documents. Baquet says Times reporter Joseph Menn disagreed with his decision, "and was very disappointed." Klein's story was published in the New York Times in April 2006 (see April 7, 2006 and April 12, 2006). [ABC News, 3/26/2007] Klein will later write that Baquet's explanation is an "absurd and flimsy excuse," and will say it is obvious that the Los Angeles Times "capitulated to government pressure."

The cover of Mark Klein's 'Wiring Up the Big Brother Machine… and Fighting It.' [Source: BookSurge / aLibris (.com)]Former AT&T technician Mark Klein self-publishes his book, Wiring Up the Big Brother Machine… and Fighting It. In his acknowledgements, Klein writes that he chose to self-publish (through BookSurge, a pay-to-publish venue) because "[t]he big publishers never called me," and the single small publishing house that offered to publish his book added "an unacceptable requirement to cut core material." Klein based his book on his experiences as an AT&T engineer at the telecom giant's San Francisco facility, where he primarily worked with AT&T's Internet service. In 2002 and 2003, Klein witnessed the construction of of a "secret room," a facility within the facility that was used by the National Security Agency (NSA) to gather billions of email, telephone, VoIP (voice over Internet Protocol), and text messages, most of which were sent by ordinary Americans. The NSA did its electronic surveillance, Klein writes, secretly and without court warrants. Klein describes himself as "wiring up the Big Brother machine," and was so concerned about the potential illegality and constitutional violations of the NSA's actions (with AT&T's active complicity) that he retained a number of non-classified documents proving the extent of the communications "vacuuming" being done. Klein later used those documents to warn a number of reporters, Congressional members, and judges of what he considered a horrific breach of Americans' right to privacy. [Klein, 2009, pp. 9-11, 21-24, 33, 35, 38, 40] In 2007, Klein described his job with the firm as "basically to keep the systems going. I worked at AT&T for 22 and a half years. My job was basically to keep the systems going. They were computer systems, network communication systems, Internet equipment, Voice over Internet [Protocol (VoIP)] equipment. I tested circuits long distance across the country. That was my job: to keep the network up." He explained why he chose to become a "whistleblower:" "Because I remember the last time this happened.… I did my share of anti-war marches when that was an active thing back in the '60s, and I remember the violations and traffic transgressions that the government pulled back then for a war that turned out to be wrong, and a lot of innocent people got killed over it. And I'm seeing all this happening again, only worse. When the [NSA] got caught in the '70s doing domestic spying, it was a big scandal, and that's why Congress passed the FISA [Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act] law, as you know, to supposedly take care of that (see 1978). So I remember all that. And the only way any law is worth anything is if there's a memory so that people can say: 'Wait a minute. This happened before.' And you've got to step forward and say: 'I remember this. This is the same bad thing happening again, and there should be a halt to it.' And I'm a little bit of that institutional memory in the country; that's all." [PBS Frontline, 5/15/2007]

We were delighted to find ourselves among the winners at this year's Mayfair Times 'Mayfair & St James's Community Awards', designed to celebrate the area by "recognising the efforts of people and organisations who have made a positive contribution to local life".
The awards ceremony was held at Claridges Hotel on 22nd January 2018 and was hosted by actor and TV host Alexander Armstrong. It followed an awards selection made by a judging panel comprising Dylan Jones, editor-in-chief of GQ magazine; Ewan Venters, CEO of Fortnum & Mason; Lydia Forte, restaurant development manager at Rocco Forte Hotels; Jeremy King, joint owner of the Corbin & King restaurants group; and David Gandy, the internationally famous model.
The London Library was awarded the 'Only in St James's' Award - granted to independent retailers and business in the area engaging with the local community - and received a handsome silverware pitcher designed by Mayfair-based Danish design house, Georg Jensen. Inez Lynn - who retired recently as the Library's Librarian and Chief Executive - also featured during the ceremony as one of the three shortlisted finalists in the Lifetime Achievement Award.
To coincide with the 500th anniversary of the birth of the Reformation - commemorating the date on 31st October 1517 when Martin Luther is supposed to have nailed his 95 theses to a church door in Wittenborg - we've been displaying a very rare treasure in our Reading Room.
It's an original 1517 copy of one of the three print editions that were produced within weeks of the theses first appearing.Their effect was immediate and lasting, rapidly spreading debate and dissension across Germany.
Each print edition has its own fascinating characteristics, indicating that they were all produced in haste. Our Petri edition, for example, bears the signs of having been over-inked, while others have very obvious typographical mistakes.
Read our fascinating blog for more on the background behind three documents that changed the world!
We received the sad news this week that Lewis Golden died on Friday 27th October, aged 94.
The Library owes an immense amount to him. He served as Treasurer for 19 years (between 1972-1991), Chairman for 4 years (1991-1994) and as Vice President for the last 13 years.
He was also an incredibly generous donor to the Library, giving extensively towards the Library's Endowment Campaign in 2012 to form the Jacqueline Golden Endowment in memory of his late wife.
A true friend of The London Library, he will be sorely missed.
The London Library is delighted to welcome Philip Marshall who takes up his position this week as the new Director of The London Library following the recent retirement of Librarian and Chief Executive, Inez Lynn.
Philip has held senior commercial and business development roles in a number of high profile UK cultural organisations, including the British Museum, Sadler's Wells and the Royal Albert Hall. His experience in revenue and membership development fits directly with a key area of strategic focus for The London Library as it looks to strengthen its position as the world's largest independent lending library while enhancing its collection and the services it provides to its members.
Philip commented: "The London Library has been supporting, inspiring and delighting readers and writers for nearly two centuries. I am thrilled to be joining this wonderful organisation."
Sir Howard Davies, Chairman of The London Library concluded, "We are delighted at the appointment of Philip Marshall who will help ensure that the Library enhances its position as one of the country's great cultural institutions and centres for learning."

GUNTERSVILLE, AL (WAFF) - The Guntersville City Council has voted unanimously to raise the sale tax.
The sales tax will go from 8 percent to 9 percent. This goes into effect on July 1.
The funds will be split evenly between Guntersville City and its school system.
Mayor Leigh Dollar said the city will be spending its portion on its park and recreation infrastructure needs immediately.
"We need a new recycling center, we need a new Fire Station 3 north of the river and also roads are never ending."
Brett Stanton, superintendent for Guntersville City Schools, sent the following message:
"I would like to express my appreciation to the City Council for tonight's vote in approving a 1% sales tax increase. This is a move in a very positive direction for our schools and the entire community. Therefore, on behalf of our students, as well as the faculty and staff, we are thankful for the financial support this decision will have on facility improvements within our school system.
Unfortunately, this sales tax increase will not be enough to fund a new high school. So, we will have to look at ad valorem tax in the future to address this need. Again, we are grateful for this additional funding."
Guntersville parent Leamon Yarbrough called for the sales tax to be raised to 9.5 percent, in order to fund the construction of a new high school. He said the community will need to look at other options.
"Get funding from somewhere, be it something like a tag fee or a property tax increase, which I'm not crazy about. I'm in the real estate business, but if that's what it takes to get a new high school at this point I'll certainly support it."

Next to the building's front door, there is also now the entrance to the scaffolding. It's narrow and partially hidden.
Here is the new year's decoration (shimekazari) I created at Shiho studio for our front door. Although there's a common look to commercial ones, including these at Muji, there's a lot of variety in terms of shape and materials.
Below is Kuge sensei's lovely arrangement at the entrance to her studio. The tiny black ball with three colorful petals is a traditional toy played with a badminton-like shuttlecock. Longtime Shiho studio student Hagiwara-san led the workshop and provided these amazing materials, including red berries, pine, paper, and seed pods.
With the recent warm weather, these giant pink peonies went quickly from bud to giant pink balls. On one of the lanes I take from my apartment to the JR, I pass this humble apartment whose front garden spills in pots from the tiny patio onto the small street.
I often see an older woman and sometimes her daughter working in the garden they have created from recycled styrofoam containers and assorted plastic pots. Cymbidium orchids, tulips, geraniums, peonies, and soon roses create a wonderful distraction for passers-by. The owner is at once extremely humble and pleased to get some attention.
To get a sense of the background of the flowers, here's a photo from further away. You can see the patio flowers share space with the laundry machine and a simple structure for hanging the clothes to dry. The flowers provide a small buffer between street and front door, and soften the hard edges of concrete, asphalt and tile.
