Samsung has announced a new mobile phone to add to its already massive range of Android devices, but rather than being a super-special, top-of-the-range monster, it's a very ordinary handset with a set of basic features. If you're wondering why you should care, it's because it's Samsung's response to the growing threat of a cheap Windows Phone.
The phone in question is the Samsung Galaxy Pocket, and it runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread which is displayed on a 2.8-inch touchscreen with a 320 x 240 pixel resolution. An 832Mhz processor can be found inside, while a 2-megapixel camera can be found on the rear of the phone's casing. Just 3GB of internal memory is on hand to store your pictures, music and apps.
Other features include Wi-Fi, 3G with HSDPA connectivity, a microSD card slot to increase the storage by up to 32GB, plus an FM radio too. Android is covered in Samsung's TouchWiz skin, and there's the usual array of the company's apps too, including the cross-platform messenger service called ChatON.
At 12mm thick and 97 grams in weight, the Galaxy Pocket screams "I'm very, very average" at passers-by. Which is exactly what a lot of consumers want, especially as the Pocket will be very, very cheap too.
How cheap? Samsung hasn't said yet, but as the aging S5570 Galaxy Mini — which has a slightly larger screen and a better camera — can be had for £100/$140 unlocked, there's a good chance it'll be available for double-figures in both currencies.
There are plenty of bargain Android phones already on the market, but most are branded by a network or wear less desirable brand names. Samsung has plenty of cache, a fact backed up by its status as the world's number one smartphone manufacturer.
Android too, is astonishingly popular, and although many will lust after the Galaxy S II and all its competitors, most will just be looking for a cheap phone for themselves, their family or as a second handset.
You probably know all this already, as it was revealed at Mobile World Congress that there are now 850,000 new Android activations per day, a figure which speaks for itself.
It's good, solid, cheap phones like the Galaxy Pocket which make up a fair chunk of that massive figure too, and it's this performance that Microsoft is chasing with Windows Phone .
The Nokia Lumia 610 was revealed at Mobile World Congress, and it'll sit in the cheap seats alongside the Lumia 710 and other devices such as the ZTE Orbit for Windows Phone later this year.
Windows Phone Tango will drop the minimum spec requirements needed to run the OS, and in turn the price of the hardware will drop too. But the Lumia 610 is going to cost £160/$250 unlocked, and even though it has a better camera and larger screen than the Pocket, it still represents the cheapest Windows Phone option.
Down at this end of the pricing scale, cheaper means better and at the moment, Windows Phone doesn't have an answer for phones such as the Galaxy Pocket.
Nokia has its Asha series of smart feature phones which can easily compete with the Galaxy Pocket, except they run on Nokia's Series 40. It's perfectly suited to this level, but as it isn't really a smartphone OS, it doesn't have quite the same customer pull as Android.
The Lumia 610 is cheap, but it looks like Microsoft will need to make Windows Phone even cheaper if it wants to truly compete with Android.

Man Goes To Hospital With Cut Eye... & CHOPSTICK In Brain
A man has astonished doctors by WALKING into the emergency department of a US hospital with a slightly swollen, cut eye - and a 9 cm bamboo chopstick LODGED in his brain.
The 23-year-old had, according to The Sun, gotten into a fight with his brother while they were eating out at a Chinese restaurant in Arizona; after the patient grabbed his sibling from behind, the other man thrust the sharp stick over his right shoulder.
Incredibly, the man never lost consciousness and, apart from his swollen eye, showed no other sign of injury.
Doctors stunned to find a CHOPSTICK lodged inside a man's brain https://t.co/6yQMW4tq7G pic.twitter.com/KPoCKrCPuU— The Sun (@TheSun) September 4, 2016
However, after examination, doctors discovered that the chopstick had travelled 9 cm into the man's brain, penetrating his eye socket and snapping off inside his skull.
Dr Mark Pruel, one of the neurosurgeons who treated the man, said that the outcome could have been very, very different.
"This object became directed and inserted into the patient's brainstem and into the central cerebellum," he explained.
"These are delicate parts of the brain that control automatic functions of the body."
We might stick to forks from now on...

The American Camp Association (ACA) continues to support the importance of research efforts into the business of camp operations through an annual systematic survey process focused on important business aspects. The focus for 2015 was on the collection of staff compensation, benefit, and professional development information. The salary, compensation, and benefits, including professional development, information was gathered in the late fall of 2015 in a survey of 1,350 camp owners and operators who were randomly selected based on stratified sampling to represent the almost 2,700 camps affiliated with the American Camp Association. A 32 percent response rate helps the reader understand:
- Current salaries of full-time and seasonal camp employees as stratified by
- day and resident operations
- camps sponsored by agencies and governmental units, religious organizations, independent nonprofits and independent for-profits
- camps from all regions of the U.S.A
- annual revenue sizes
- Benefits provided to year-round and seasonal staff and their cash value
- Director salaries segmented by tenure in position, education, age, race/ethnicity, and gender
- Expected salary increases for 2016
- International staff compensation considerations
- Professional development information for full-time and seasonal camp employees including
- required professional development hours
- methods used to complete professional development
- required hours for volunteers
This report contains the latest salary and professional development information for day camps and overnight camps across the U.S. and is the most comprehensive study for camp personnel available to the industry. Three sets of information are provided for both day and resident camps.
Summary Information - is provided with graphs and charts to highlight similarities and differences by region and sponsorship including director base salaries, anticipated change in salaries, and other benefits provided along with their cash value. Similar information is provided for select other year-round positions as well as paid full-time seasonal positions. In addition, summary information is provided on professional development opportunities and expectations for full-time and seasonal staff.
Tables - provide specific information organized by sponsor group (agency, religious, independent for profit and independent nonprofit), region of the country (New England, Mid-Atlantic, Mid-America, Southern, and Western), and annual revenue categories. Tables include information on camp profile, director demographics and salary, director benefits, select year-round full-time staff salaries and benefits, seasonal staff and benefits, as well as professional development expectations, methods used, and incentives.

The Body Covers: The 7th Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections
Session 37
Primary and Secondary Prevention of Opportunistic Diseases in the Era of HAART
January 31, 2000
CD4+ Cells are Better than Prophylaxis: Posters 241, 242"Given the choice between T-cells and prophylaxis, take T-cells, " says Bill Burman, MD. Burman's poster (see: poster 241) presented the rates of opportunistic infections in a cohort of patients with advanced HIV disease who were enrolled in CPCRA 048, a randomized placebo-controlled study of azithromycin for DMAC prophylaxis.
Patients enrolled in CPCRA 048 had a CD4+ nadir of <50 cells/µl with rebound above 100 cells/µl following HAART. For the 520 patients enrolled in this cohort, the mean CD4+ nadir was 24 cells/µl with a mean CD4+ of 261 cells/µl at study entry. After an average of 12 months, rates of opportunistic infections were extremely low, with no cases of CMV disease or DMAC, and rates of invasive fungal infections, PCP, and bacterial pneumonia of 0.6, 1.0, and 2.0 per 100 patient years, respectively.
Of significance, the rates of disease following CD4+ rebound were compared with those in trials of first-line prophylaxis in the pre-HAART era. Disease rates were higher in patients who were on prophylaxis and no HAART, than in patients in this cohort who had experienced CD4+ rises on HAART. Thus, CD4+ reconstitution appears to provide protection against opportunistic disease superior to that of first-line prophylactic regimens. This study supports the growing evidence that even patients with advanced HIV disease can experience meaningful immune reconstitution as a result of effective therapy.
In an analysis from a similar trial (ACTG 362), rates of opportunistic infections were also low: DMAC occurred at 0.252 per 100 patient years, and other infections at 4.028 per 100 patient years. This trial showed a marginally significant protective benefit of azithromycin on the development of new AIDS defining-conditions (p = 0.045), although half of the diseases that occurred in the placebo group were due to CMV disease and Kaposi's sarcoma, against which azithromycin has no apparent activity. The significance of this finding is not clear and may be an artifact of low event rates (see: poster 242). The fact that opportunistic diseases still occur -- although infrequently -- in patients with CD4+ rebound, underlines the need to better understand risk factors for opportunistic diseases for patients on HAART so that prophylaxis can be provided when appropriate.
Discontinuation of Prophylaxis or Suppressive Therapy Following CD4+ Rebound: Posters 243, 244, 247, 250Results were presented from ACTG 888 -- an observational study of patients who discontinued PCP prophylaxis following CD4+ rebound to >200 cells/µl after either a CD4+ nadir of <100 cells/µl and no prior PCP (Group I, 144 patients) or prior PCP >6 months prior to study entry (Group II, 125 patients). With a mean follow-up of over 60 weeks in group I and 38 weeks in group II, no cases of PCP have occurred. Three cases of serious bacterial infections and one death due to pancreatitis have been seen. Follow-up is continuing (see: poster 243).
These data are consistent with others that have been previously reported supporting the safety of discontinuing PCP prophylaxis in this group of patients. An additional poster in this session from the Swiss HIV Cohort (see: poster 244) reported similar findings, and additionally showed that the results were consistent among those with CD4+ nadir <100 cells/µl, detectable plasma viral load, or seropositivity for toxoplasma gondii IgG.
As previously mentioned, CPCRA 048 is a placebo-controlled study of azithromycin 1,200 mg/week for DMAC and bacterial pneumonia prophylaxis in patients with nadir CD4+ <50 cells/µl but rebound to above 100 cells/µl. These data, presented by Wafaa El-Sadr, support the discontinuation of DMAC prophylaxis in this patient population. No events of DMAC occurred in 520 patients followed for 12 months with an extremely low loss to follow-up rate of 0.6%. There was no difference between azithromycin and placebo for bacterial pneumonia, progression of HIV disease, or survival. Of note, 36% of the patients in this trial were African-American, 12% were women, and 14% were Hispanic (see: poster 247). Based on this study, one can have a high level of confidence in discontinuing DMAC prophylaxis in patients who are doing well following the initiation of potent antiretroviral therapy.
A small observational study of discontinuing maintenance fluconazole for cryptococcal disease provided a preliminary but optimistic suggestion that this illness might not require lifetime suppressive therapy. In the setting of immunologic reconstitution (CD4+ cell rebound to >150 cells/µl) following at least 16 weeks of antiretroviral therapy and 12 months of treatment with fluconazole, six patients discontinued antifungal therapy. After 8-9 months of follow-up, no recurrences were seen, although one patient maintained a persistently positive cryptococcal antigen. While anecdotal, these findings are encouraging and consistent with other anecdotal reports about discontinuation of CMV and DMAC treatment in patients who have responded well to HAART. It is unlikely that a randomized study of sufficient power will ever be done to explore this issue, although larger observational cohorts will undoubtedly be looked at. In the meanwhile, these data demonstrate that, at least for some patients, immune reconstitution may be sufficient to suppress or cure diseases that once required lifetime therapy.
Poster 249In spite of CD4+ increases of 131 cells/µl after a mean of 432 days on antiretroviral therapy, response to revaccination with Pneumovax was poor in a group of 25 patients who were revaccinated. Mean antibody titers for all subtypes were not significantly different following revaccination. Based on these data, the author continues to recommend initial vaccination with pneumococcal vaccine, but does not recommend revaccination.

Quick premise: Crank bolt snapped getting up to speed on interstate. Pulley key wasted and crank Key slot partially boogered.
here is my fix pictorial:
- New Crank Pulley - VW (049-105-263-C)
- New Crank Bolt - VW (N-903-208-02)
- All New Belts
- Loctite (Stud and Bearing mount)
- 2 STD Roller Bearings (mid '70-'s Harley Sportster Trans Mainshaft)
- Brake Cleaner
Special Tools:
- Good set of Cobalt Drill bits
- #5 Easyout (5/16) with 19/32 drill bit (if needed)
- 1/16, 5/64, 9/64, 5/32 Cobalt drills (if not in set)
- Flywheel lock (if you have one
- Torque wrench
- Center Punch
- 14mm x 1.5 Thread Tap (if needed)
1- To make it easy I removed: the timing belt cover, the Serp tensioner, right from wheel, lower timing belt cover and inner fender well.
2- Using a center Punch I made a mark in the exact center of the broken Crank Bolt. I started with an 1/8 pilot drill bit and worked my way up to 19/32 to extract.
3- I then took the new crank Pulley on the drill press with a 1/16 drill bit and drilled one hole opposite keyway and all the way through (you can use 2 dowel pins if your crank is really trashed). I drilled the pilot hole so it would be in the center of the crank between the crank bolt hole and the outer edge of the crank (SEE Hind Sight Notes at bottom).
4- using the 1/16 drill bit and the crank pulley placed on the crank as a template, I drilled the hole in the crank to a depth of 1/2 the length of the dowel pin.
5- I then used the 5/64 drill bit in the same fashion, drilled all the way through the crank pulley (using it as a template) and then into the crank to the same depth as #4.
6- using the 9/64 drill I drilled the crank hole out (not using the pulley this time) to same depth as above (1/2 the length of the dowel). Go back and forth a few times to make the hole a tad bigger. You could probably go to the 5/32 drill for the crank only so the pin slides right in, but I wanted a tighter fit.
7- using the 9/64 drill I drilled the crank pulley hole 1/16" more then 1/2 the depth of the dowel from the Backside out. This will prevent the dowel from backing out and allow and easy way to drive the dowel in to the proper depth in the crank pulley.
8- Drive dowel pin(s) into crank pulley
9- Tap crank threads (14mm x 1.5) to clean them up if necessary. I needed to because when the bolt snapped, it slightly screwed up the first 2 threads. The bolt must screw in perfectly by hand to be able to torque properly.
10- use brake cleaner to clean everything. I then used a small amount of Loctite stud and bearing mount on the crank key slot, than mate surface of the crank pulley and crank and then used regular red (271) on the bolt.
11- Torqued to proper specs (66 Ft'Lbs + 1/2 Turn) using homemade flywheel lock.
Hind Sight notes:
1 - If your crank key slot is really bad you may want to use 2 dowels on either side of the crank (away from the old crank key slot).
2- If I had to re-do, I would probably have drilled the dowel(s) closer to the outside edge of the crank (further away from the crank bolt). This is because there is less shear force the further out you go from the cranks center point. I was worried about being too close to the end of the crank, but in reality, that's where the stock keyway is...
This is just me over analyzing things as it will likely never matter anyway..
Good luck and be patient if you try to do this as well. A broken drill bit in the crank will give you a world of hurt. (light pressures to drill and straight holes)

Photo Assumption: What Karl's doll thinks of Shelfy
Also on Wetten Dass in Germany the other day, the most random collection of guests...
And for part of the program, Jessica Biel was seated next to Karl Lagerfeld. Needless to say, there's some selective photo editing happening here on my part but, you know, on the one hand you have a collection of guests were are charismatic and entertaining and then there's Shelfy, who's less interesting than Karl's doll and who's never provided a witty or clever sound-bite in her life.
Now for those of you who say that Karl is cruel - he did occasionally pretend to care about what Shelfy was saying. With the same body language he'd use if he were discarding/donating money to a panhandler.

Adam Larson / Caustic Logic
The Frustrating Fraud
November 2 2008
In the time I've been doing this blog, I haven't talked much about Pentagon attack witness Lloyd England and his damaged taxi. Citizen Investigation Team have made the counter-intuitive lack of damage to the hood one of their central proofs of "military deception" at the Pentagon, accused the likeable old guy of being "the first known Accomplice?," and indirectly anyway, a "demon." Maybe by accident, whatever... In fact, their overplaying of the issue, and the strong reactions of their multitude of critics, is one of the reasons I haven't jumped into this crowded fray. It's too obvious, and I just have to be different.
The other reason is I thought they probably had a point, in that England's own story seems problematic. He insists the long portion of the pole, as seen in front of his cab in numerous photos, is what pierced his windshield and remained sticking heavy-end out far over the hood without apparently touching it. Previously I had agreed with CIT that seemed unlikely, but sided with Pentagon attack researcher Russell Pickering, who had instead proposed a smaller piece of the pole actually doing the damage; Lloyd's story was simply wrong, for whatever reason.
I did bother to put together the below attempt at judging the pole segment's true size - many have claimed this is 30 feet long or greater, but they seem to be misunderstanding the role of perspective here. My attempt is rough, but this should be close.
Recently I also noted their paranoia-laced warning that they had a new video coming of their 'latest encounter' with the old man who "is caught and is guilty" and "the primary one who would have explaining to do." That video is now out, an hour and a half of them having stupid arguments in Lloyd's home, with his wife helping string the lads along, on the road, and Craig explaining it all later with too few buttons done on his shirt. Lloyd seems a sharp enough old kook, and the video is fascinating in its own ways, but the finer points of this sprawling epic of absurdity would derail from the main point worthy of a new post – another case of CIT accidentally (??) getting too much evidence and helping us see what really happened, despite their best efforts.
They took Lloyd up on his previous offer to inspect his taxi themselves, and they drive out into the country where he had it stored in the woods, under tarps that weren't too tight. This in itself is fascinating, like an excursion to the Titanic, a historical relic sinking into the Virginia soil, a spider web draped over the steering column, visible through the even more caved-in windshield where the massive aluminum pole *allegedly* entered years ago and nearly skewered its mow-famous driver.
They again found the damage inconsistent with Lloyd's story, and again took to re-explaining the super-scientific obeservation that the heave end of a see-saw goes down. Since the heavy end, and most of the pole's length, was outside, it would not stick up in the air on its fulcrum. Craig tells us "Science proves that this is impossible," referring to the following picture, which he selected:
Apparently he failed to notice the trick here - the little hook holding the girl's end to the earth. This simple device renders the see-saw moot. Please keep this in mind, as it's a better example than he realized. We have a fulcrum - the marked indentation just to the right of center of the dashboard frame. This is on par with a light pole diameter, and the point of entry through the windshield. True, the hood's edge shows no sign of crushing, but given the angle of rest, the might may have met it more edge-wise, and the pile of windshield may also have initially helped hold it up. It would then have to be at a fairly steep downward angle for this to work, which would in turn fit with the rest of the pole sticking up, all above the hood.
"So the dash was the main alleged fulcrum," Craig summed up, " and the other would be the back seat." This is wrong - if there were two fulcrums, they would be this "alleged dent" and the front passenger seat left shoulder, as seen below, knocked well backwards. This was almost certainly in a lower position than shown here, under the weight of the pole as it stretched back to the back seat.
The clincher is the destination, the back seat. I'll write more later, but here is one of their pictures, including the tear they acknowledge but consider too tiny for a massive 5-inch diameter light pole:
The light end of the pole would have been held by the backrest part of the back seat - not the leather, but the actual seat assembly, with its wire frame and all. You can see where something warped it back (on impact) and upwards a couple of inches, leaving a wide gap between the top and bottom sections. This is beneath, and in addition to, the tear that may have been from entry or from when they pulled it out, or a bit of each. It seems unlikely the surface leather had in any part in anchoring the see-saw, but rather metal that was designed for, at the least, supporting the weight of American passengers (light pole segment app. weight - 200-220 lbs). The pole may have forced itself in there a foot or more deep as well, and found additional counter-force in some part of the car's chassis it pierced or was wedged under. They did not look under the car or inside the trunk for any such clues.
If anyone wanted to do some calculations on how impossible Lloyd's story is, here are the variables:
- Pole length overall – my take - app. 23 ft including 18" base
- expected weight, and distribution of that along the narrowing length - erg, math...
- degree of bend, and its length and location along the pole - see my graphic above for one estimate.
- Line from bash dent to seat gouge – lateral difference is negligible – it seems to have come in almost straight back
– Vertical line - Exact dimensions of Lincoln Town car interior would need to be known for either of these. I'd guess 5-8 feet of pole was on the inside side of the dashboard fulcrum.
- depth of penetration into the back seat - I'd wager at least several inches.
- lateral rotation of the bend on entry - vertical, sideways? I'd wager sharp end down, as it seems most others have.
- effective strength of the seat frame and/or any chassis elements holding the light end down against the heavier end's pull.
You could go about defining all these as best as possible and applying the known formulae, But I tend to agree with Craig that the simple analogy presented in that priceless photo is good enough, and renders any need for calculation moot.

Why are you so intellectually dishonest?
Removing the physical evidence from the context of the required PHYSICS of the scenario for spin purposes is not honest.
Make a graphic depicting the length of the pole over the hood and consider the kinetic force of the plane and cab headed TOWARDS each other and the cab coming to a skidded sideways stop with the pole still in it.
No honest human would suggest that tiny tear held that big long pole over the hood during all that.
Be honest for once. Post the gifs and address this.

I watched the first half of the video, but then I found myself running out of patience with Ranke. Lets start with the obvious. Clearly something went through the cab window, and even the CIT boys are not disputing the damage. Now Lloyd says it was the large section of the pole. It could be, and then again it could have been the smaller section (which I suspect). There is a circular scrape on the pavement associated with the pole base in one of the Ingersol photos which leads me to believe it was not the large pole segment.
However, I think that is a moot debate. He is driving along and in the location that a pole is knocked down, something goes through his windshield. So what is the issue? A large light pole is lying in the roadway. There is a light fixture with broken glass all over the place. It does not take a rocket scientist to figure this out.
But then again, morons have trouble with such things.

My family and I just moved into what we consider our 'dream' home! Of course, there are a few minor details we would change if we could, but overall, we absolutely LOVE our new home!
My husband had been looking at homes online for years…no joke, and I have been telling him that there was no we were moving. I was extremely happy in our home. Yes, it was small and needed some work, but it had such character!
Anyway, my husband had a day off in November so he drove me by this 'house', off the beaten path, that he had seen online! It was beautiful!!!
We called the realtor of the house and she meet us there right away! I told my husband that we were just looking and that is that!
WELL…I was wrong!
Sometimes it's okay to be wrong!
We both fell in love with this 1950's cottage ranch style home! The previous owners had taken immaculate care of it and it needed NOOOO work done on it!
The grounds of the house were just amazing! The view and landscaping perfect!
Rocking chairs on the porch!!! SOLD!
After walking around the property, we stepped into the house…and, I just knew it would be ours!
Have you ever had that feeling that you 'belong' in a house? That a house was meant to be yours?
One crazy month later, we moved in and have felt like we are truly HOME!

The Forestry Commission's origins are in the First World War, and difficulties Britain had meeting wartime demands on timber.
Britain's woodland resources had been declining since the middle ages, but reached an all time low - just 5% of land area - by the beginning of the 20th Century With the outbreak of war the country was no longer able to rely on timber imports, and in July 1916 Minister Herbert Asquith appointed the Acland Committee to look at the best ways of developing woodland resources. The Committee reported to Asquith's successor, David Lloyd George, in 1918. They recommended a state organisation as being the most effective way of co-ordinating a reafforestation plan to meet timber needs for the foreseeable future.
On 1 September 1919 the Forestry Act came into force. This set up the Forestry Commission and gave it responsibility for woods in England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland. Eight Forestry Commissioners were charged with promoting forestry, developing afforestation, the production of timber, and making grants to private landowners. They met for the first time in November under Chairman Lord Lovat.
The first Commission trees were planted on 8 December 1919 at Eggesford Forest, Devon.
The bedrock of forestry policy in the 1920s was the need to rebuild and maintain a strategic timber reserve. Stocks were so depleted by the demands of the First World War - especially trench warfare - that the new commission was given a good deal of freedom to acquire and plant land.
The country was split into ten Divisions with 29 Divisional and District Officers and 110 Foresters and Foremen. Finance and administration were concentrated in London and Edinburgh, with 59 staff.
Financial stringency was imposed from the beginning because of high post-war inflation, but agriculture was depressed and the Commission was able to buy land cheaply. By September 1929 around 600,000 acres were managed in 152 forests, and more than 138,000 acres had been planted. In the private sector 54,000 acres had been planted with Commission grants.
Public concern regarding blanket conifers led to the first amenity planting: it became standard practice to plant hardwoods alongside roads, and where possible straight edges were avoided.
The early thirties were dominated by a recession that bit worldwide: the later years by a slow but steady build-up to war.
Agriculture was still deep in depression, and with few private landowners having money to invest in forestry there was comparatively little planting. But the Commission's estates continued to increase, reaching 909,000 acres by 1934. Of these 316,000 were under plantation. The main market for timber was as pit props, with fast-developing heavy industries almost completely dependent on coal. This emphasis was to be maintained throughout the war years.
In 1937 the Commission began working with the Board of Trade to draw up detailed plans for felling in the event of war. To maintain a home timber supply, three categories were identified: woods which could be felled immediately (mature stands); woods which could be felled if necessary (slightly younger or slightly older trees); and woods to be felled only in extreme need. The Home Grown Timber Advisory Committee was established in 1939 as part of these preparations. On the day war broke out, the Commission was divided in two: the Forest Management Department, to carry on its normal activities, and the Timber Supply Department to deal with war demands. The Commission remained in charge of the home timber supply until 1941, when the responsibility was given to the Timber Production Department of the Ministry of Supply.
Research was confined almost exclusively to species selection, establishment and nursery work, with experiments in peatland research in northern Scotland.
As for so many things, the Second World War and its aftermath had a major impact on forestry in Britain.
During the War, Commission forests produced more than 51 million cubic feet of wood. Even so, 90 per cent of timber used in the war effort came from private estates, supplying pit props for mines producing the coal on which so many of the armaments and other industries depended.
Because they were the most mature the Forest of Dean and the New Forest bore the brunt of wartime felling, with almost all conifers aged 20-35 in the new Forest cut. In all, 29,530 acres of Commission forest were clearfelled between 1940 and 1946, with 53,000 acres heavily thinned. The number of people employed rose from 14,000 in August 1939 to 44,300 in February 1941 - including several thousand members of the Woman's Timber Corps, affectionately christened 'the Lumberjills'. But it wasn't all felling. Over 100,000 acres were planted during the war years, and 133,000 acres acquired for forestry. Licences for timber felling were introduced during the war and retained afterwards as a conservation measure.
Once the War was over restoring the forest estate became a priority for the Commission, and there was a marked increase in the acquisition of felled or derelict woodlands. Many of these were planted with broadleaves, especially in south east England. But forestry was repeatedly to clash with agriculture interests as the need to produce home grown food increased, and planting was gradually moved out to land which was unsuitable for other crops.
The Forties saw the beginning of the expansion of the Commissions research work, which in the next few years was to grow out of all recognition. The Engineering Branch was founded virtually from scratch, under Chief Engineer Major-General H P W Hutson, with the twin function of building forest roads and maintaining machinery.
The 50s, 60s and 70s saw dramatic surges in output and income, with the forest estate nearly doubling to 1.6 million hectares as mechanisation increased and investment in forestry soared. Timber found a ready market in Britain's new and established wood using industries.
In 1950 the Commission employed 13,220 people in total. Annual removals had reached 325,000 cubic metres and income from produce exceeded £1 million. During the decade planting averaged 24,500 acres per year and nearly 40,000 acres of broadleaves were established, particularly in south east England. These were mainly oak and beech. Sales of timber rose from less than £500,000 to well over £2 million a year. Harvesting and marketing became an important part of the Commission's work. By the end of the decade private landowners were finally warming to the Dedication Scheme, and nearly 600,000 acres had been dedicated.
Forestry gradually moved to the uplands and marginal land, with good agricultural land no longer available in any quantity.
In 1950 powered ropeway extraction tests took place at Thornthwaite in north west England. The cable of three quarter inch diameter, transported three tons an hour at heights of up to 20 feet over any gradient. It could be dismantled and re-erected in two days, and was able to extract wood uphill as well as down. In 1952 the Swiss-made 'Lasso' cableway was tested in Scotland. Timber could be hooked on and unloaded at any point without stopping the operation, and it moved up to1500 hoppus feet of timber per day.
Timber was extracted by helicopter for the first time in 1956 at Glenduror, near Fort William, in a trial arranged by Machinery Research Officer Col R G Shaw. The time taken for loading, flying, delivering and flying back was reduced to 5 minutes 37 seconds, and in his report Col Shaw points out how effective this was. But he adds 'it is certain that while helicopters are convenient they will not be an economic proposition until their operating costs are reduced far below the present figure'.
In 1954 aerial spraying was tried for the first time at Cannock Chase, near Stafford, and Culbin, on the Moray Firth, in a battle against the Pine looper moth. The operation was described as 'remarkably effective' and in 1959 the first aerial applications of fertiliser were made at Wilsey Down Forest in South West England.
The 1960s were years of consolidation and confident expansion.
A mechanical revolution took place. Technical progress allowed planting on previously unplantable land, as at Culbin. The axe and cross-cut saw disappeared, replaced by the lightweight chainsaw. Stables became workshops as the use of horses declined. Timber production rose from 20.1 million hoppus feet in 1960 to 36.5 million hoppus feet (equivalent to 1.8 million tonnes) per year by the end of the decade and increasingly forestry was regarded as a business. The private forestry sector was buoyant too: by 1969 it was carrying out 40 per cent of total planting, and close to one million acres had been dedicated. With a guaranteed timber supply massive investments took place in the timber using industries and new markets opened up. Coal mining now used only a third of the Commission's output, but growth in forestry and its related industries still created thousands of new jobs.
An awareness of public access and recreation needs grew, along with landscape and conservation considerations. Dame Sylvia Crowe was appointed as the Commission's first Landscape Consultant, and the public were given a 'right to roam' in Commission forests. A seventh National Forest Park had been established by the end of the decade.
From the 1970s, conservation and amenity issues became more central in the Commission's planning and forestry policy.
Emphasis was increasingly given to maintaining woodland character, recognising the importance of broadleaves. Following the advice of Dame Sylvia Crowe, landscaping began to be considered on a far wider scale, resulting in woods which were aesthetically pleasing as well as productive. Forests were identified as important wildlife reserves, and conservation became a special responsibility of Commission staff.
Facilities for recreation developed steadily, especially after a consultants' report highlighted the suitability of many sites for holiday accommodation. A Forest Cabins Branch was formed and new cabins built.
Changes were also taking place in training, with Faskally and Parkend schools closing. Northerwood House ceased to be used as a Training Centre in 1971. A 2 year New Entrant Training Scheme was launched in 1970 and a new Management Training Centre opened in the Forest of Dean in 1973.
In 1970 a severe outbreak of Dutch Elm Disease hit the south of England, and the disease, believed to have arrived on Rock Elm logs from Canada, ran out of control for much of the decade. Despite orders restricting wood movement some 30 per cent of the elm population in central and southern England had been affected by 1975. Much research was carried out but no cure found, and in the end the disease had to be left to run its course.
In the private sector the Dedication, Approved Woodlands and Small Woods schemes were closed and a new Dedication Scheme (Basis III) introduced which included provisions on public access.
The 1980s were years of change and challenge.
In the early 80s recession hit timber users, pulp mills at Fort William, Ellesmere Port and Bristol closed. The Commission began to develop export markets, and soon 500,000 tonnes of timber a year were being shipped - much to Scandinavia.
In Scotland, the search for new investment began with the formation of the Scottish Forest Products Development Group in 1983. This had spin-off benefits elsewhere, and within five years forest resources had attracted new investments worth over £600 million. New ventures started and in 1987 the Finnish Kymmene Corporation decided to build an integrated pulp and paper mill at Irvine with Commission forests in west Scotland meeting half its requirements. Commercial forestry strengthened: in 1979-80 the Commission sold 1.4 million cubic metres of timber earning £34 million, which rose by 1989-90 to 3.5 million cubic metres, valued at more than £77 million.
Environmental issues came to the fore, with the Commission's management policies, and particularly forestry's apparent lack of environmental awareness, receiving heavy criticism. As problems were addressed, and the Commission became adept at putting across its message, a number of critics became more supportive.
The other main feature of the decade was the steady increase in Government cutbacks, with fewer public funds available. New planting was cut and investment in recreation ceased. Gradually the Commission began to acquire a higher political profile. By the end of the decade messages from the Government were mixed: on one hand expressing support and encouragement, on the other restricting forestry operations.
The October 1987 gales led to a mammoth clean-up operation in the south of England. Some 50 million trees blew down, with more timber destroyed than in any other single storm in the 20th century. Weald and Suffolk Forest Districts both lost the equivalent of a ten years' felling programme; Bedgebury lost three times its annual cut. The vast majority of blown timber was salvaged and marketed.
The House of Commons commended the Commission for its clearance work and provided special supplements to assist restocking. An advisory Windblow Task Force answered more than 1000 queries before winding up in 1988.
By the 1990s the Commission was committed to multi-purpose forestry. The demands of commercial production, recreation and conservation were carefully balanced, and not only in Enterprise woods: Centre of Excellence awards for private owners encouraged multi-purpose management, and the Woodland Grant Scheme offered bigger grants if public access were a key objective.
Because we see the forest as an environmental resource and manage it as a whole, post-War forests are being carefully restructured as they reach maturity - particularly through the development of the Forest Design Plans. Broadleaf planting and long-term management are encouraged by grant aiding. Restoring native woodland in areas like Glen Affric and Sherwood Forest has been widely welcomed, and these initiatives will have a major impact on the countryside.
Environmental concerns are well to the fore and forest officers work closely with conservation groups. Wildlife projects underway include help for threatened species such as the red squirrel and nightjar. Now more than ever, we consult widely before decisions affecting woodlands are taken. Formally and informally specialist bodies, local groups and general public offer advice and opinions on our work, and private owners are encouraged to obtain advice and approval before making key decisions. Ventures such as the Valleys Forest Initiative in Wales have brought local people a new sense of ownership of their woods.
Our experience is in demand worldwide, and visits from forestry organisations overseas continue to increase. Our Research Division offers its services on a contract basis, and Education and Recreation Rangers meet visitors' particular needs. We manage a wide range of recreation and tourist facilities, from deer stalking to rallying, and oversee historic sites including barrows, forts and medieval villages.
In May 2011 the provisional results of analysis of high-tech aerial photography, satellite imagery and other sources were published today as part of the National Forest Inventory. They showed that there were 2,982,000 hectares of woodland across England, Scotland and Wales, representing 13 per cent of Britain's land area - a massive increase on the 5% tree cover we had when the Commission was formed some 90 years ealier.
In 2013 the Forestry Commissioners' responsibilities in Wales transferred to a new body - Natural Resources Wales, marking the end of the Commission's 94 years as a GB organisation.
If the early Commissioners saw these forests today, what would they think? They could probably still suggest plenty of improvements. But there's no doubt about our achievements. The Commission has arrested the wholesale decline of Britain's woodland, and begun to reverse it. Against a shifting social and political backgroud, we have shown ourselves a flexible and adaptable organisation. The woods being planted and managed today will show the evidence well into the 21st century.

iPad magazine sales seem to be in a bit of a slump. Many magazine publishers have made their content available on iPad as it's an easy way to read content without having to have paper copies littering your home or office. If it's more convenient, why are magazine sales on the iPad not doing so great?
In August, 10,500 users bought issues of Vanity Fair on their iPads. In August, only 8,700 copies were purchased via the iPad. Glamour magazine was in even worse shape with only 2,775 iPad issues sold in October. We all know that paper copies of magazines are on their way out, but shouldn't that mean that virtual copies should literally be flying off digital shelves?
Part of the issue may be the fact that Apple and publishers still haven't agreed on a universal, built-in subscription service (Apple wants to handle the transactions, publishers want to know who you are so they can do marketing based on demographic data). So for now, in order to purchase these magazines, you have to buy each issue individually. That can be a hassle. Since there are often steep discounts on the paper copies but none on the digital version, it can also be much more expensive.
As far as from a magazine stand point, maybe they need to switch gears on their own. There are several sport apps available that you have to purchase yearly. What about that type of model? What if a magazine had a few different apps with different price points? For a year subscription, price the app at the cost of a year's subscription. Then issue updates for each issue. Not an ideal situation but maybe a temporary solution to keep subscribers reading.
Do you guys read magazines on your iPad? Does no subscription model keep you from buying additional issues on a weekly/monthly basis?

(Bioinspired Photonics-Optofluidics-Electronics Technology and Science)
The BioPOETS group focuses on fundamental bionanoscience, organogenesis,and preventive personalized medicine for global healthcare. In order to establish a quantum nanobiology, we have created nanosatellites and photonic gene circuits that allow molecular imaging and a remote spatiotemporal control of gene regulation in living cells. Also the BioPOETS have been developing the BASICs (Biologic Application Specific Integrated Circuits) for the digitalization of quantitative biology, organ-on-chip, and integrative molecular diagnostics.
The purpose of BioPOETS is to create Bionanoscience for Innovative Global Healthcare Research and Technology (BIGHEART) that can cultivate inspiration in discovery science, comprehend biological function and mechanism at the nanoscale level, find real-world solutions for the treatment and preventive diagnosis of diseases, and generate health and wealth for the local community and global world.
The BioPOETS will:
Encourage the convergence of life sciences, physical sciences, engineering, computational science, art, and medicine for new scientific discovery and solving healthcare problems by breaking down traditional barriers and maximizing interaction and enhanced collaborations.
Explore to obtain snapshots of what we metaphorically refer to as the cellular galaxy in living cells by creating unprecedented nanosatellites that have triple functions: targeting, imaging, and controls of optical gene regulations. The nanosatellites with the function of PRET nanospectroscopy will be applied to monitor the electron transfer dynamics of biomolecules in living cells.
Elucidate the intracellular signaling pathways in living cells; the mechanism of the intra- and extracellular signaling networks; how cells communicate, differentiate, and organize to form unique biological systems with extraordinary physiological functions; the in vitro organogenesis: organ formation, organ function, and organ diseases on chip.
Establish quantum nanobiology for photonic gene circuits and groundbreaking molecular diagnostic methods including Light-based In Vivo Evaluation of DNA ("LIVE-DNA"), which will unite customized DNA binding proteins and nanosatellites to allow in vivo imaging of DNA mutations. Developing the capability to detect DNA-based alterations in living cells would have dramatic impacts on the treatment and diagnosis of human diseases as well as on basic biomedical science to answer fundamental questions of human biology.

The Phillip Island was a high for Moto2's Ant West, as the Australian rider put his QMMF Racing bike on the second podium spot after the well-fought race. With three Australians on the podium for each of the three GP classes, the Australian GP was highlighted with Casey Stoner's last ride at Phillip Island, making the event a bittersweet moment for the local crowd.
For Ant West though, it will be his last memory for the 2012 Moto2 season, as the 31-year-old rider from Maryborough has been handed a 30-day ban from the sport, after failing a drug test at the French Grand Prix at Le Mans. Found to have Methylhexaneamine (DMMA), a mild stimulant that is found in dietary supplements, in his system at the French round, West will miss Valencia, the last round of the Moto2 season.

If you have any suggestions for tools that you would like to see added to the list, please let me know by email, Twitter or Facebook.
|Premium iOS App Templates
Save weeks of design and development by starting your next iOS project with a functional Swift starter kit, containing boilerplate code & UI for features such as shopping, dating, food ordering, chatting, maps, Firebase, and more. Download one of our beautiful iOS app templates and build your MVP in minutes.
A collection of simplified and community-driven man pages for various terminal commands. TLDR pages aims to be an ever-growing collection of simplified "show me the common usages" man pages for the most common UNIX, Linux, OSX and SunOS commands. There are currently over 240 pages, each focussing on the most common usages, aimed at new or rusty command-line users. They don't explain general UNIX concepts and introduce examples gradually. But, of course, they don't cover everything; that's what man is for!
A Swift command line tool inspired by Make and Rake that helps you automate tasks in your projects. Sake centres around the Sakefile where you define your project tasks. The command line tool can generate a complete Xcode project so you can edit your Sakefile in Xcode with syntax highlighting and code autocompletion. Once you've created your Sakefile you can use Sake to list or execute any of your tasks from the command line. Sake is currently a work in progress on its way to version 1.0 and the creators are looking for help in the form of contributions.
A tool that gives you a command line interface to your Swift scripts. Beak can take a standard Swift file and then list and run any public global functions in it via a command line interface. It analyses your Swift file via SourceKit and finds all public and global functions, turning each into a runnable command while converting parameter names into command line flags. You can also use Beak to generate an Xcode project with all dependencies linked so you can edit your Swift file with full code completion.
A package manager that installs and runs Swift command line tools. Mint makes installing, running and distributing these tools much easier. It installs your tools via Swift Package Manager and globally installs and caches builds by version on demand. You can easily run the latest version or a specific version of a tool, or even use different versions of a tool side by side. Due to its use of Swift Package Manger for building tools, any tool that currently supports SPM automatically supports installing and running with Mint.
A command line tool that automates the creation and management of Xcode projects. Struct turns your Xcode project into a build artefact by letting you quickly and continuously regenerate it from a YAML or JSON spec file. You can create your first spec file by migrating an existing Xcode project ready to be customised and regenerated. Struct makes it easy to have multiple variants of a project with the ability to add additional source files and resources. Great for whitelabelling and multiple distribution channels.
A Swift based command line tool that lets you quickly try out any Swift pod or framework in a playground. Test Drive is ideal for testing a pod or framework without having to modify your project. You can also try out multiple pods and frameworks at once. You just have to run a single command with the name of a pod, or the URL to a Git repository, and Test Drive will create a playground for you. There are also options to choose a specific pod version, git branch, or platform.
A command line tool that helps find common xib and storyboard-related problems in your Xcode projects without running your app or writing unit tests. IBAnalyzer starts by parsing all .xib, .storyboard and .swift files in a folder and then uses this data to generate warnings. It can find unimplemented outlets and actions in classes, as well as @IBOutlets and @IBActions defined in code but not connected to from nibs. IBAnalyzer is open source and extensible so you can create new warnings by creating new types that conform to the Analyzer protocol.
A command line tool for converting Interface Builder files into Swift layout code. Eject aims to help when Interface Builder reaches its limits and starts getting in the way, by providing an easy path to transition to full programatic view layout. It looks through xib files and generates code based on the views and layout constraints it finds, using user labels for variable names. The output should be good quality Swift code ready to be pasted into the loadView method. You can also use Eject for free on the web as it is hosted as a Vapor application.
A simple command line tool that can help you write better, more concise Swift APIs by removing needless words from function names. needless can process text from STDIN or files specified in a list of paths and will attempt to apply the Swift API Design Guidelines by printing out function names with needless words such as repeated type information and will even suggest an alternative. You can also add it as an Xcode build phase that will generate warnings to highlight wordy functions in the source files.
A command line tool that lets you execute tests in parallel on multiple iOS simulators. pxctest is simple to install using Homebrew, and once you've compiled your project for testing, you can run a single command to execute your tests on as many simulators as you need, including different devices and iOS versions. There are a number of different options to customise how your tests are run, and you can even provide a file that is copied to the simulator's Preferences plist to change the state of the simulator settings.
A macOS command line tool that generates Swift data model code based on JSON data. json2swift generates immutable Swift struct definitions along with thread-safe initialisers to create structs from JSON data. It performs sophisticated type inference to detect data types such as URLs and dates. For example, if you add a date format hint to your JSON, it will correctly add string to date parsing. It also aims to provide the correct optionality, making properties non-optional unless 'null' is found in the JSON.
A simple Python command line tool for understanding Xcode project structures and configurations. xcute will inspect an Xcode project file and print a table detailing each of the Xcode schemes including SDK and configuration. You can also provide flags to get details about any build setting across all your schemes, which could be useful for quickly checking provisioning settings, for example. It can also export CI config files using a built-in template for Travis or any other custom template you create.
A dependency analyser tool for Swift projects. Depcheck reports dependencies per class, allowing you to easily detect classes that have too many dependencies. It can also report how many dependants a class have making it easy to spot the most over-used and under-used classes. It supports Xcode projects and workspaces so works great if you are using cocoapods.
A small command line tool that makes it quick and easy to create an Xcode project for an iOS 10 sticker pack. imsticker saves you a lot of clicks by giving your a single command to automate the entire process of creating an Xcode project, adding sticker images including animated sequences, and creating all the required icons. You just need to prepare your sticker images and large app icon in a folder, and imsticker will create the project ready for you to open, run and submit to the App Store.
A framework and command line tool for interacting with SourceKit. SourceKitten links and communicates with sourcekitd.framework to parse the Swift AST, extract comment docs for Swift or Objective-C projects, get syntax data for a Swift file and more. You can use SourceKitten to generate full code completion details, print Swift docs as JSON or Objective-C docs as XML, print Swift structure information as JSON and print Swift syntax information as JSON.
A command line tool for formatting xcodebuild output. xcpretty pretty aims to be a fast and flexible formatter that dramatically improves the readability of xcodebuild output. It is designed to be piped with xcodebuild and thus keeping 100% compatibility with it. It's even a bit faster than xcodebuild itself, since it saves your terminal some prints. There are a few different formats to choose from including simple, Spec style, and Test-Anything-Protocol compatible. You can also specify reporters to create JUnit-Style XML or simple HTML reports, or create your own custom formatters.
A set of tools to help you create command line applications in Swift. Swiftline is comprised of several tools including: Colorize, which adds colours and styles to strings before writing them to the terminal; Ask, Choose and Agree, for creating different kinds of prompts to get information from the user; Run, a quick way to run an external command and read its standard output and standard error; Env, to read and write environment variables; and Args, which parses command line arguments and return a hash of the passed flags.
A command line tool for making a better asset workflow for iOS developers. Blade will automatically build and rebuild Xcode image catalogs for app icons, universal images, and more using a Bladefile that specifies all your resources. It can automatically set up your Bladefile based on your existing Xcode project or you can use templates of asset catalogs which it will later populate. Once configured, a single command will generate all of the images needed within each image catalog.
A command line build system developed and used by the engineers at Facebook. Buck encourages the creation of small, reusable modules consisting of code and resources which are built in parallel to take advantage of multiple cores on your machine. It also reduces incremental build times by keeping track of unchanged modules so that the minimal set of modules is rebuilt. Buck integrates with Xcode and will generate all the configuration files it needs to work with your project by loading the iOS template.
A pure Swift library for creating command-line interfaces. CommandLine gives you all the features you need to simplify creating command line tools in Swift. This includes automatically generated usage/help messages, supports for all common flag styles (string, bool, counter, double, etc.), intelligent handling of negative int & float arguments, locale-aware float parsing, type-safe Enum options, and just for fun, full emoji support (although this is obviously not recommended).
A command-line tool that reorganises your Xcode project folder to match your Xcode groups. If your project folder is an unwieldy mess of sub folders or a single folder containing all project files but your Xcode project is sorted neatly into groups, you can use Synx to quickly reorganise you project folder into shape. Although the default options will probably satisfy your needs, there are also options to also remove source files and image resources that are not referenced by your Xcode project and to exclude specific groups.
An open source Mac app for Homebrew. Homebrew is a package manager for OS X which lets you install thousands of command-line applications that would require manual compilation, but it requires using the command line. Cakebrew makes using Homebrew much easier by providing a GUI for all your Homebrew tasks like installing, uninstalling, and updating formulae, and running Homebrew doctor to find problems.
A command line tool for creating and configuring iOS Xcode projects. If you run Liftoff on a directory with an existing Xcode project it will perform various actions to get your project in shape, such as changing indentation levels, turning on warnings, adding default .gitignore and .gitattributes files, and initializing a new git repo. If Liftoff can't find an Xcode project, it will create one for you. Liftoff is completely customisable (and open-source) and configurations can easily be shared.
A shell script which compiles and executes Objective-C source code files from the command line. objc-run is really useful for quickly testing a piece of code or if you have a small programming task that you want to handle in Objective-C that doesn't justify setting up a complete Xcode project. It also integrates nicely with CocoaPods. objc-run has made Objective-C my new favourite scripting language!
A collection of really useful command line utilities from Mattt Thompson. The collection consists of 5 tools, each named after a major city, covering tasks including automated administration of the Apple Dev Center, sending push notifications, generating passbook passes, verifying in app purchase receipts and distributing dev builds. The utilities are all open source on Github and are written as Ruby gems so can be run on a server as well.
A very decent alternative to the Terminal app on Mac. It adds loads of fantastic features including search, autocomplete, countless configuration options, TotalTerminal/Visor style hot-key triggered slide in windows and a lot more. The best thing is, it's free and open-source on GitHub.
The best way to manage library dependencies in Objective-C projects. You just need to add a list of dependencies to a 'PodFile' in your Xcode project, run 'pod install' and you're ready to go. The collection of libraries that CocoaPods knows about is absolutely massive and includes all the popular ones, but you can also contribute your own.
A Terminal.app plugin that provides persistent Visor Window which slides down when you press a hot-key.

The parties sentenced include real estate attorney Lilia Casal-Diaz, 42; Andres Mendez Sr., 47; Andy Mendez Jr., 26; Josephine Santana, 57; Jose Rafael Martinez, 36; and Basilio Gomez, 52.
The U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida Wilfredo Ferrer said the defendants were sentenced for their roles in a scheme where the parties used straw buyers to acquire apartments at the complex while preparing multiple sets of loan documents, including fraudulent documents that allowed them to eventually collect millions in fraudulently obtained loan proceeds.
Apparently, HUD-1 documents submitted to lenders contained false information, while a second version of the same forms were submitted to borrowers with the real sales prices. The defendants each received jail time, with the average sentence well over a year.
The maximum conforming loan limits will remain the same for mortgages acquired by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the firms' conservator said Thursday.
The Federal Housing Finance Agency said the maximum loan limit for one-unit properties will remain at $417,000, but can still run as high as $625,500 when the property resides in one of the designated high-cost areas.
Note: the maximum for FHA loans through the end of 2013 is $729,750 in the nation's most expensive neighborhoods.

Why Piracy Happens: Because No One In Mexico Thinks Tron Legacy Is Worth Paying $136
from the economics deptEarlier this year, we wrote about the absolutely wonderful, detailed and insightful SSRC Report on "Media Piracy," which made it clear (through actual research and data) that "piracy" is almost never a legal or enforcement problem, as many industry folks insist, but rather a business model problem. To drive this point home, Joe Karaganis, who put the report together, has written up a short article for the Huffington Post, putting the economic realities into clear and easy to understand terms:
This may seem like an obvious conclusion but it is strikingly absent from policy conversations about intellectual property, which focus almost exclusively on strengthening enforcement. Nowhere in the industry literature or in major policy statements like the US Trade Representative's annual Special 301 reports will you find an acknowledgement of piracy's underlying causes: the fact that, in most parts of the world, digital media technologies have become much much cheaper without any corresponding increase in access to legal, affordable media goods. DVDs, CDs, and software in Brazil, Russia, Mexico, or South Africa, for example, are still priced at US and European levels, resulting in tiny legal markets accessible to only fractions of the population. Would you pay $136 for a Tron Legacy DVD (the relative price in Mexico, adjusted for local incomes)? How about a $7300 copy of Adobe's Creative Suite? I didn't think so.Karaganis explains why these firms may have incentive to do this, but notes that this completely goes against the official policy positions of those pushing for laws like PROTECT IP. What becomes clear is that PROTECT IP isn't at all about protecting content. It's about protecting and propping up the legacy business models of a few companies who don't want to adapt.

Pens try to bounce back in Game 3 at Boston
After getting thoroughly outplayed in the first two games of the Eastern Conference finals on home ice, the top-seeded Pittsburgh Penguins will try to rebound on the road as they visit the Boston Bruins for Wednesday's Game 3 at TD Garden.
Boston has picked the Penguins apart so far in this series, winning a 3-0 decision in the opener on Saturday before slamming Pittsburgh in Monday's 6-1 rout at CONSOL Energy Center.
Of course, the task of getting back into this series becomes more difficult for Pittsburgh with the best-of-seven set shifting to Boston for Games 3 and 4. The Penguins had identical 18-6-0 records at home and on the road during the regular season and is 3-2 as the guest in these playoffs.
Meanwhile, the fourth-seeded Bruins are 5-2 in Beantown in this postseason after posting a 16-5-3 mark at TD Garden during the 2013 campaign.
Boston grabbed the lead just 28 seconds into Game 2, as Brad Marchand turned a Sidney Crosby turnover into a breakaway goal. Crosby tried to whack a bouncing puck at the right point and missed it shortly after the opening faceoff. The disc was picked up by Marchand in the neutral zone and he went in on a clear break, snapping the puck into the left corner for a 1-0 lead.
The Bruins soon would push their lead to 3-0 before heading into the first intermission with a 4-1 advantage.
Marchand wound up with two goals and his linemate Jaromir Jagr added two assists. Nathan Horton, Patrice Bergeron and Johnny Boychuk each contributed a goal and an assist to the blowout.
David Krejci also added a goal for the Bruins and leads all skaters in the playoffs with 20 points (8G, 12A). Horton is second in the NHL with 17 points on seven goals and 10 assists.
The Bruins also received another strong outing from goaltender Tuukka Rask, who turned aside 26 shots.
"We had all of our guys making some great plays out there tonight," said Boston head coach Claude Julien. "Tuukka has been in the zone for a while and he's got a lot of confidence right now. That puck looks huge to him."
Rask has turned aside 55-of-56 shots in two games against the Penguins, who were averaging an NHL-best 4.27 goals per game heading into this series. Pittsburgh is still leading all playoff teams in goals per game, but has seen that number slip to 3.69 after the first two tilts of this series.
Brandon Sutter had the lone goal on Monday for the Penguins, who lost consecutive home games for the first time since dropping their first two home tilts of the season.
Tomas Vokoun, who made his ninth straight start in goal for Pittsburgh, was pulled less than 15 minutes in after giving up three goals on 12 shots. Marc- Andre Fleury, who was replaced by Vokoun in the quarterfinals and playing for the first time since May 7, gave up three goals on 17 shots in relief.
"We're going to Boston and we have to win Game 3," said Pittsburgh head coach Dan Bylsma. "This team has won a lot of hockey games and it's a good team. We certainly didn't play anywhere near what we're capable of and that's got to be our focus."
Bylsma had been quiet regarding which goaltender will get the start tonight, but following Wednesday's morning skate it was revealed Vokoun would be starting Game 3.
This is the first series between Boston and Pittsburgh since 1992, and the Bruins are aiming to eliminate the Pens from the postseason for the first time since 1980. The Pens and Bruins have split four all-time series in the postseason.
Game 4 of this series is scheduled for Friday in Boston.
