A Northern Ireland bus driver was commanded by suspected IRA militants to deliver a bomb to a police station, but instead she parked her vehicle and called police, authorities who praised the driver's bravery said Thursday.
No group claimed responsibility for the failed attack in Londonderry on Wednesday night, but police and politicians blamed IRA militants, who are particularly active in the predominantly Irish Catholic city with pockets of high unemployment where the extremists are based.
The episode illustrated the relative weakness of today's IRA die-hards, who continue to mount occasional bomb and gun attacks in defiance of Northern Ireland's 1998 peace accord.
Leaders of the Catholic-Protestant government in Northern Ireland praised the unidentified driver for refusing to deliver the bomb as instructed after police said they recovered a viable bomb on board the bus. About 70 nearby homes were evacuated overnight.
Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness, the former IRA commander in Londonderry who today helps lead Northern Ireland's unity government, in a tweet praised "the courage of the bus driver who last night prevented a bomb attack on the peace process in Derry."
Translink, which operates Northern Ireland buses, says two masked men dropped a bag containing the bomb on the woman's bus and ordered her to drive it to the police headquarters in Londonderry. IRA members have repeatedly targeted the fortified building.
The driver told the militants she would, but parked the bus at a stop and called police.
The episode illustrates the limits of today's small IRA splinter groups. The dominant faction, the Provisional IRA, killed nearly 1,800 people before calling a 1997 cease-fire and renouncing violence in 2005. Breakaway factions have killed a half-dozen people, but most of their attacks fail either because bombs are badly designed or police surveillance thwarts the attack.
The Provisional IRA pioneered the use of civilian drivers to deliver bombs in 1973, adopting the tactic to avoid the risk of their own members being arrested.
The Provisionals ruthlessly enforced the threats by taking the driver's family hostage and threatening to kill them if the driver stopped short of the target. Sometimes the Provisionals also followed the victimized driver in a second car and warned they would detonate the bomb, killing the driver, if they tried to raise an alarm. In 1990 the Provisionals killed one driver, a Catholic chef, as he arrived at his British Army workplace in Londonderry.
By contrast, recent IRA attempts to force civilians to deliver bombs all have failed, with the drivers stopping short of the target and raising an alarm. ||||| Dissident republicans have been blamed for planting a bomb on a bus in Northern Ireland.
Police said a masked man ordered the viable explosive device to be transported to the main police station in Derry last night.
Superintendent Stephen Cargin said it was capable of causing death or serious injury.
The alert began at about 6.15pm yesterday when the masked man boarded the bus in the Ballymagroarty area.
The bomb, which was concealed inside a holdall and had a two-hour timer, was placed directly behind the driver's seat.
There were up to ten passengers on board at the time and they were ordered off.
The driver was able to abandon the bus in a place of safety in the Northlands area and raise the alarm.
She has been left extremely distressed by the ordeal.
Supt Cargin said she should be praised for her bravery.
He said: "To be prepared to put a bomb on a public bus, to put the lives of the driver and the passengers at risk and in the knowledge that it had to be driven through a built up area is totally mindless."
The suspect was dressed in a black jacket and used a black scarf and hood to hide his identity.
Supt Cargin said he claimed to have been from the IRA.
"We believe this was one of the dissident groups," he said.
In the past, dissidents have forced taxi drivers to transport bombs but it is understood this is the first time a public transport worker has been targeted.
Ciaran Rogan from Translink, which operates the network, insisted services would not be impacted.
Stormont Transport Minister Danny Kennedy condemned those responsible.
He said: "Attacks on public transport impact the entire community who depend on buses and trains to get to work, school, hospital and go about their daily business."
About 70 families from 40 houses were evacuated while army bomb disposal teams worked to make the device safe.
The alert ended at about 3.30am and residents were allowed to return home.
Strand Road PSNI station has been the target of a number of bomb bids including thwarted mortar attacks in March and October. ||||| A bus driver has been labelled a "selfless heroine" after risking her life to stop a bomb placed on her vehicle exploding outside Derry's main police station.
She managed to evacuate up to 10 passengers on the service, which was bound for the city centre, on Wednesday night and then drove the bus alone with a bomb on board for almost a mile to a less built-up area.
She had defied a masked man who said he was from the new IRA terror group when he boarded the bus at about 6.15pm on Wednesday. He had ordered her to drive the bus with an explosive device on board to Strand Road police station – the target of repeat bomb attacks by republican dissidents.
It emerged on Thursday that instead of taking the bomb along a three-mile journey into central Derry the driver found the nearest bus stop in a less built-up area. She then got off the bus and telephoned police.
Her actions were hailed on Thursday as the work of a "heroine" by local politicians, who condemned the republican terrorist group's actions. SDLP councillor John Boyle said: "This selfless heroine put the lives of her passengers and people living around ahead of herself."
He added: "Up to 10 passengers were traumatised by this incident and up to 40 families had to spend several hours out of their homes on a brutally cold evening. But thanks to this courageous woman there was no loss of life or injuries."
Army bomb disposal experts were called in to deal with what the Police Service of Northern Ireland later said was a "viable device".
Northern Ireland's transport minister, Danny Kennedy, said: "I want to praise the bravery of the bus driver who had to deal with this frightening situation."
The Ulster Unionist member added: "Attacks on public transport impact the entire community who depend on buses and trains to get to work, school, hospital and go about their daily business. The driver showed immense courage under very difficult circumstances."
Sinn Féin councillor Eric McGinley said those responsible for leaving the bomb on the bus "are going against the will of the vast majority of the people in this area who have indicated that they want to move forward without this type of disruption".
Security alerts involving improvised explosive devices have become almost a weekly occurence in Derry during the past few months as dissident republicans step up their armed actions in the city. So far, however, no one has been killed or badly injured in any of the attacks.
The use of a potential proxy to drive a bomb to a security force base will bring back memories in Derry of the 1990 murder of Catholic contractor Patsy Gillespie. He died in an explosion that also killed five British soldiers. He had been strapped into a van packed with explosives and was forced to drive the vehicle towards an army vehicle checkpoint while his family were held at gunpoint back in their Derry home.
The use of a so-called human bomb along with two other similar attacks on the same day provoked widespread condemnation throughout Ireland and beyond. |||||
Write a summary. | – A bus driver in Northern Ireland is winning a hero's praise for keeping cool and defying orders to drive a timed bomb to a police station, reports the Guardian and RTE. The scene unfolded last night, when either one or two men (accounts differ) boarded the bus, placed the bomb behind the driver's seat, and ordered her to drive to the police station in downtown Londonderry. The men didn't remain on the bus, however, so the driver evacuated her 10 or so passengers, then drove with the bomb alone for about a mile to a less populated area and called police. "The driver showed immense courage under very difficult circumstances," says the regional transportation chief, while a local politician praised her as a "selfless heroine." Police were able to deactivate the device before it exploded, describing it as small but viable, reports the BBC. Though no group has claimed responsibility, the AP says IRA splinter groups unhappy with the 1998 peace accord continue to wage occasional attacks. And it adds that the use of civilian drivers to deliver bombs is a tactic that dates back to the 1970s in the region.

This movie is a rather odd mix of musical, romance, drama and crime with a sniff of film-noir to it. It's basically one messy heap of different genres, of which none really works out like it was supposed to.
This movie is an attempt by Mickey Rooney to be taken more serious as an actor. He's a former child-star who always used to star in in happy comical- and musical productions at the start of his career. In this movie he picks a different approach (although the musical aspects are still present in the movie). But his role is actually quite laughable within the movie. I mean Mickey Rooney as a tough player? He's an extremely small boyish looking man. He actually was in his 30's already at the time of this movie but he seriously looks more like a 16 year old. Hearing him say babe to women and hearing talking tough to gangsters who are about 3 times bigger than he is just doesn't look and feel right. He simply isn't convincing in his role.
Because the movie mixes so many different genres, the story also really feels as a messy one. Somewhere in it there is a crime plot and somewhere in it is a romantic plot-line and one about living your dream but none of it works out really due to the messy approach and handling of it all. It just isn't an interesting or compelling movie to watch. László Kardos is also a director who has done only 10 movies in his lifetime, despite the fact that his career span from 1935 till 1957. He must have been a struggling director who had a hard time getting work into the industry and instead once in a while was given a lesser script to work with. His movies are all unknown ones and normally also not of too high quality.
Let's also not forget that this is a '50's movie but yet it more feels like a '40's one or perhaps even as one from the '30's. This is of course mostly due to the fact that this movie got shot in black & white. Generally speaking black & white movies from the '50's often have a cheap looking feeling over it and this movie forms no exception.
It's a rather strange sight seeing Mickey Rooney and Louis Armstrong and his band as themselves performing together in a sequence. It wasn't the only movie Armstrong appeared in though and he would often pop up in these type of movies, often simply as himself. I guess jazz lovers can still somewhat enjoy watching this movie due to its music, since there is quite an amount of it present in this movie. The movie actually received an Oscar nomination for best original song.
An awkward little movie and outing from Mickey Rooney.

When a historic document survives only in translation, the original having been lost, researchers sometimes undertake back-translation in an effort to reconstruct the original text. An example involves the novel The Saragossa Manuscript by the Polish aristocrat Jan Potocki (1761–1815), who wrote the novel in French and anonymously published fragments in 1804 and 1813–14. Portions of the original French-language manuscript were subsequently lost; however, the missing fragments survived in a Polish translation that was made by Edmund Chojecki in 1847 from a complete French copy, now lost. French-language versions of the complete Saragossa Manuscript have since been produced, based on extant French-language fragments and on French-language versions that have been back-translated from Chojecki’s Polish version.

Background: Roberto Mangabeira Unger (; born 24 March 1947) is a philosopher and politician. He has developed his views and positions across many fields, including social, political, and economic theory. In legal theory, he is best known by his work in the 1970s and 80s while at Harvard Law School as part of the Critical Legal Studies movement, which is held to have helped disrupt the methodological consensus in American law schools. His political activity helped the transition to democracy in Brazil in the aftermath of the military regime, and culminated with his appointment as Brazil's Minister of Strategic Affairs in 2007 and again in 2015.
Context: Unger's critique of economics begins with the identification of a key moment in economic history, when the analysis of production and exchange turned away from social theory and engaged in a quest for scientific objectivity. In Unger's analysis, classical economics focused on the causal relations among social activities, which were connected with the production and distribution of wealth. Classical economists asked questions about the true basis of value, activities that contributed to national wealth, systems of rights, or about the forms of government under which people grow rich. In the late-nineteenth century, in response to attacks from socialist ideas and debates about how society works, and as a means to escape the conundrums of value theory and to answer how values could become prices, marginalist economics arose. This movement in economics disengaged economics from prescriptive and normative commitments to withdraw the study of economies from debates about how society worked and what kind of society we wanted to live in. For Unger, this moment in the history of economics robbed it of any analytical or practical value. Unger's critique of Marginalism begins with Walras' equilibrium theory, which attempted to achieve a certainty of economic analysis by putting aside normative controversies of social organization. Unger finds three weaknesses that crippled the theory: foremost, the theory claimed that equilibrium would be spontaneously generated in a market economy. In reality, a self-adjusting equilibrium fails to occur. Second, the theory puts forth a determinate image of the market. Historically, however, the market has been shown to be indeterminate with different market arrangements. Third, the polemical use of efficiency fails to account for the differences of distribution among individuals, classes, and generations. The consequences of the marginalist movement were profound for the study of economics, Unger says. The most immediate problem is that under this generalizing tendency of economics, there is no means by which to incorporate empirical evidence and thus to re-imagine the world and develop new theories and new directions. In this way, the discipline is always self-referential and theoretical. Furthermore, the lack of a normative view of the world curtails the ability to propose anything more than a policy prescription, which by definition always assumes a given context. The discipline can only rationalize the world and support a status quo. Lastly, Unger finds that this turn in economics ended up universalizing debates in macroeconomics and leaving the discipline without any historical perspective. A consequence, for example, was that Keynes' solution to a particular historical crisis was turned into a general theory when it should only be understood as a response to a particular situation.

Pete Maravich was born to Petar "Press" Maravich (1915-1987) and Helen Gravor Maravich (1925-1974) in Aliquippa, a steel town in Beaver County in western Pennsylvania, near Pittsburgh. Maravich amazed his family and friends with his basketball abilities from an early age. He enjoyed a close but demanding father-son relationship that motivated him toward achievement and fame in the sport. Maravich's father was the son of Serbian immigrants and a former professional player-turned-coach.
The Atlanta Hawks selected Maravich with the third pick in the first round of the 1970 NBA draft, where he played for coach Richie Guerin. He was not a natural fit in Atlanta, as the Hawks already boasted a top-notch scorer at the guard position in Lou Hudson. In fact, Maravich's flamboyant style stood in stark contrast to the conservative play of Hudson and star center Walt Bellamy. And it did not help that many of the veteran players resented the $1.9 million contract that Maravich received from the team--a very large salary at that time. Maravich appeared in 81 games and averaged 23.2 points per contest--good enough to earn NBA All-Rookie Team honors. And he managed to blend his style with his teammates, so much so that Hudson set a career high by scoring 26.8 points per game. But the team stumbled to a 36-46 record--12 wins fewer than in the previous season. Still, the Hawks qualified for the playoffs, where they lost to the New York Knicks in the first round. Maravich struggled somewhat during his second season. His scoring average dipped to 19.3 points per game, and the Hawks finished with another disappointing 36-46 record. Once again they qualified for the playoffs, and once again they were eliminated in the first round. However, Atlanta fought hard against the Boston Celtics, with Maravich averaging 27.7 points in the series. Maravich erupted in his third season, averaging 26.1 points (5th in the NBA) and dishing out 6.9 assists per game (6th in the NBA). With 2,063 points, he combined with Hudson (2,029 points) to become only the second set of teammates in league history to each score over 2,000 points in a single season. The Hawks soared to a 46-36 record, but again bowed out in the first round of the playoffs. However, the season was good enough to earn Maravich his first-ever appearance in the NBA All-Star Game, and also All-NBA Second Team honors. The following season (1973-74) was his best yet--at least in terms of individual accomplishments. Maravich posted 27.7 points per game--second in the league behind Bob McAdoo--and earned his second appearance in the All-Star Game. However, Atlanta sank to a disappointing 35-47 record and missed the postseason entirely.

U.S. and other intelligence agencies recently broke up a plot to bomb an airliner and have seized an explosive device that is similar to ones previously used by al Qaeda, officials said Monday. The plot was discovered before it threatened any Americans, and no airliners were at risk, one U.S. counterterrorism official said. A nonmetallic explosive device like the one used in the failed attempt to bomb a Detroit-bound jet in 2009 was recovered, the official said, adding that it was meant for use by a suicide bomber. A spokesman for the Department of Homeland Security said authorities have "no specific, credible information regarding an active terrorist plot against the U.S. at this time," although they continue to monitor efforts to carry out such attacks. President Barack Obama was told about the plot in April, and the attempt "underscores the necessity of remaining vigilant against terrorism here and abroad," the White House said. The threat was foiled around the same time as the anniversary of the raid that killed Osama bin Laden, although a second U.S. counterterrorism official said the attempted attack was not timed to coincide with the death of the al Qaeda leader. "What this incident makes clear is that this country has to continue to remain vigilant against those that would seek to attack this country. And we will do everything necessary to keep America safe," Defense Secretary Leon Panetta soon after news of the plot broke. The FBI said it is conducting technical and forensic analysis on the improvised explosive device that was seized abroad. The device is similar to others previously used by al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), which Western officials describe as al Qaeda's most dangerous affiliate, the FBI said. The device was meant to be put on a U.S.-bound airline, U.S. Rep. Peter King, chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, told CNN's Anderson Cooper. The New York Republican said discovery of the bomb plot is just one part of an ongoing operation. "It's not over as far as the operation itself, which is why you're seeing very few details being given out," he said. Both King and a senior administration official said the intended user of the bomb is no longer a threat. The recovered device, which never made it near an airport or airplane, was not built to be a so-called body bomb, the official said. "AQAP is the responsible group here," said a different senior U.S. official. "While similar, a preliminary review of this device shows that it has some significant differences from the device used in the Christmas Day attack. It is clear that AQAP is revamping its bomb techniques to try to avoid the causes of the failure of the 2009 device," the official said, referring to the Detroit incident. U.S. officials believe AQAP has more than 1,000 members in Yemen and connections to al Qaeda leadership in Pakistan. The Yemen affiliate has been behind two of the most audacious attempts to target the United States in recent years: the attempted 2009 bombing and the printer bombs loaded onto cargo planes in 2010 and destined for an address in Chicago. In both cases, U.S. authorities believe the bombs were built by Ibrahim al-Asiri. Both devices contained a main charge of PETN, a white powdery explosive that conventional "single beam" X-ray machines are rarely able to detect. In 2009, al-Asiri fitted out his own brother, Abdullah al-Asiri, with a PETN-based underwear bomb to kill Prince Mohammed bin Nayef, a top Saudi security official. The device killed his brother instantly but failed to kill its target. Senior al Qaeda operative killed by airstrike in Yemen. The government of Yemen has been fighting AQAP for years, with mixed results. On Sunday, a senior AQAP operative wanted for his role in the USS Cole bombing was killed by an airstrike in Yemen, officials said. Fahd al Quso, 37, was killed while riding in a vehicle in the Rafdh district in Shabwa province. He was hit by a CIA drone strike, U.S. officials told CNN. The weekend attack plus the foiled airline plot delivered a "one-two punch" against AQAP, said the senior administration official. "This was a key victory for us. It also reminds us, though, that this war is not going to end in Afghanistan. Al Qaeda has metastasized and morphed. And they are constantly attempting to find new ways to get at us," said King. CNN's National Security Contributor Fran Townsend, Elise Labott and Jessica Yellin contributed to this report.

A sports group in Halifax also received £7,450 for young people's workshops.
The Rotherham loneliness support group, which received £484,780, is run from the Chislett Centre at Kimberworth Park Community Partnership in a deprived area of the town.
Manager Dawn Heald said the lottery money helped local groups "go from strength to strength".
"We are starting three different projects here - one for children and families, one for young people, and one for older people," she said.
"People develop relationships which they may not have done before."
St Giles Trust in Leeds was given £499,693 to expand its work in improving employability skills of ex-offenders and vulnerable people in West Yorkshire.
Halifax Hammers FC received £7,450 to deliver dance, music and healthy mind and body workshops for young people, to raise their self-esteem and awareness about sexual exploitation and the consequences of drug use.
Another 80 organisations in the region also received handouts.
The Big Lottery Fund gives out 40% of the money raised by the National Lottery to health, education, environmental and charity projects, which equates to more than £650m a year.
Lyn Cole of the Big Lottery Fund said: "The valuable work of these leading charities and community groups is helping make a difference to the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in our society."

News article:
6th Circuit Rules on Privacy of 'Pocket-Dials' (CN) - A person who "pocket-dials" a third party during a conversation does not have a reasonable expectation of privacy, the Sixth Circuit ruled.
A panel determined that widespread knowledge of accidental calling and the availability of preventative measures mean that an individual on the receiving end of such a call does not violate privacy laws by recording the conversation.
James Huff, former chairman of the Kenton County, Ky. Airport Board - which oversees the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport - sued an executive assistant after she recorded a conversation about board matters.
Huff was in Italy in October 2013 with board vice chairman Larry Savage when the two had a private conversation on a hotel balcony.
While the two discussed the possibility of replacing then-CEO Candace McGraw, Huff tried to call executive assistant Carol Spaw but dialed the wrong number. Huff put his phone back in his pocket, at which point he inadvertently dialed Spaw's correct number.
According to court documents, "Spaw answered and could hear James Huff and Savage talking, but she could not understand what they were saying. She said 'hello' several times but got no response."
Once she realized the conversation was intended to be private, Spaw said she "believed that she heard James Huff and Savage engaged in a discussion to discriminate unlawfully against McGraw and felt that it was her responsibility to record the conversation and report it through appropriate channels," the ruling states.
Spaw allegedly took notes and recorded a portion of the 91-minute conversation on her iPhone, some of which included a personal conversation between Huff and his wife, Bertha.
The audio and written summary of the conversation were shared with members of the Airport Board and the Huffs sued in December 2013.
An Eastern Kentucky district court found that the Huffs lacked a reasonable expectation of privacy because Huff placed the call himself, albeit unknowingly.
Judge Danny Boggs agreed with the lower court on Tuesday, writing that "exposure need not be deliberate and instead can be the inadvertent product of neglect. Under the plain-view doctrine, if a homeowner neglects to cover a window with drapes, he would lose his reasonable expectation of privacy with respect to a viewer looking into the window from outside of his property...the doctrine applies to auditory as well as visual information."
"[A] person exposes his activities and statements, thereby failing to exhibit an expectation of privacy, if he inadvertently shares his activities and statements through neglectful use of a common telecommunication device," Boggs continued.
The three-judge panel also cited Huff's own testimony, during which he admitted not only knowing about the possibility of pocket-dialing, but that he had done it in the past.
Boggs listed numerous preventative measures available to prevent such calls, including "locking the phone, setting up a passcode, and using one of many downloadable applications that prevent pocket-dials calls," but noted that "James Huff did not employ any of these measures."
The Huffs argued that by affirming the lower court's decision, the Sixth Circuit would deprive all Americans carrying cell phones of their reasonable expectations of privacy, according to court records, but Boggs disagreed.
"Not recognizing James Huff's expectation would do no more injury to cellphone [sic] users' privacy interests than the injury that the plain-view doctrine inflicts upon homeowners with windows or webcams," the judge wrote. "James Huff retained an expectation of privacy from interception by non-pocket-dial means, such as by a hidden recording device or by someone covertly causing his cellphone [sic] to transmit his statements to an eavesdropper."
The panel reversed the portion of the district court's decision regarding Bertha Huff, however, determining that she did have a reasonable expectation of privacy during the conversation with her husband.
"The district court's holding would logically result in the loss of a reasonable expectation of privacy in face-to-face conversations where one party is aware that a participant in the conversation may have a modern cellphone [sic]," Boggs wrote. "As nearly every participant in a conversation is a potential cellphone [sic] carrier, such a conclusion would dramatically undermine the protection that Title III grants to oral communication.
"It would also mean that, had Spaw and James Huff conspired for James to deliberately turn on his phone and transmit his conversation with Bertha Huff for Spaw to hear and share with others, neither James nor Spaw would have violated Title III because no 'oral communication' was intercepted. But the law does not support this conclusion," the judge wrote.
Finally, the Sixth Circuit rejected Spaw's argument that she is not liable for the interception of the conversation because she did not interfere the phone line.
Boggs concluded that "non-interference with a phone line does not, by itself, prevent an instance of phone-based eavesdropping from qualifying as an interception if the eavesdropping occurred without the consent of at least one party to that conversation, as is the case with the Huffs." ||||| Butt dialing, a source of anxiety for anyone with a cellphone, just got more horrifying.
A federal appeals court in Cincinnati ruled yesterday that somebody who accidentally calls somebody else isn't protected by a right to privacy; whatever the person on the other end hears is fair game. Having a mobile device that everyone knows can trigger calls accidentally means you can be snooped on when the gut-wrenching mistake occurs, the panel of judges decided. Having a butt has never been more dangerous.
This is only the second time a court case has used the phrase "butt dial," as far as Eric Goldman, a law professor at Santa Clara University in California who directs the school's High Tech Law Institute, knows. The other case involved a man charged with violating a protective order by leaving a voicemail on a woman's phone that he said was inadvertent. "I can't recall other cases using these unintended calls by accidental operation of human physiology," Goldman says. The issues has also cropped up when people send faxes to the wrong number. In general, the courts have been more sympathetic to the side that accidentally transmits the information than to the person who listens in. Not this time.
Another surprise in the latest case is the crazy backstory spelled out in the court documents: Two members of the board of the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport were in Bologna, Italy, in October 2013, when one of them called Carol Spaw, the assistant to the chief executive of the airport, to ask her to book a dinner reservation for them. (Why did they need the assistant in Kentucky to book their dinner in Bologna? Crazy.) After the call, the now ex-chairman of the board, James Huff, put his cellphone in his suit pocket and somehow (we know how) dialed the assistant's office number without knowing it. She said hello several times; the directors didn't hear her. They began talking about replacing her boss.
Enterprising assistant that she is, Spaw put the phone on speaker and proceeded to take meticulous notes on everything the directors said, according to the court records. The call lasted 91 minutes. (And in 91 minutes, this guy didn't check his phone once? Crazy.) Eventually Spaw started recording what they were saying on an iPhone. Toward the end of the call, Huff returned to his hotel room and recapped the conversation about firing the CEO with his wife, Bertha Huff, just in case Spaw didn't hear it clearly the first time. Spaw got the iPhone audio file professionally enhanced, typed up her notes, and shared copies of both media with other members of the board.
The Huffs sued Spaw that year, charging that she had violated a federal wiretap act that makes it illegal to intercept electronic or oral communications intentionally. The district court ruled for Spaw. The Huffs appealed last year. In the appellate decision, Judge Danny Boggs said butt dialing was kind of like accidentally leaving your window uncovered. You aren't legally protected from people looking into your home.
Goldman, the law professor, questions that reasoning. "Leaving your curtains open is a conscious choice," he says. You wake up in the morning and decide to open them or not. "Butt dialing might be in a different category of conscious decisions. But the court sees it as sloppiness."
The Huffs argued that if the court ruled against James, it would be tantamount to exposing all cellphone users to invasions of privacy. The judges weren't moved, Boggs said, since everyone with a cellphone can do really simple things to prevent butt dials, like locking their phone. He kindly provided a link to "Prevent Unwanted Butt Dialing With Smart Pocket Guard," a review of an app that James Huff might have downloaded to prevent the fiasco.
"A person who knowingly operates a device that is capable of inadvertently exposing his conversations to third-party listeners and fails to take simple precautions to prevent such exposure does not have a reasonable expectation of privacy," Boggs wrote.
The judges did say that Bertha, James's wife, had a reasonable expectation to privacy, since she was talking to her husband in their hotel room. The panel sent the case back down to the district court to decide whether Spaw, the assistant, was legally liable for intentionally intercepting Bertha's communications when she turned up the volume, took copious notes, and fetched an iPhone to record the call.
The moral of the story: Don't butt dial Carol Spaw.
(An earlier version of this story misstated the federal court's location as Kentucky.) ||||| Court: You Have No Right To Privacy When You Butt Dial Someone
Today in issues we never thought a court would weigh in on: if you accidentally pocket dial someone, pulling the move we all know as “butt dialing,” don’t expect anything you say during the call you don’t know you’re making to stay private.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit in Kentucky ruled yesterday [PDF] that a person who butt dials another party during a conversation doesn’t have a reasonable expectation of privacy.
This, because everyone knows about such accidental calls and there are a lot of ways to prevent such a thing from happening. That means anyone who happens to be listening in on the call that came in on their phone isn’t violating privacy laws by recording that conversation, the three-judge panel determined.
Why did this issue end up in court? Some quick background, via Courthouse News: James Huff, the former chairman of the Kenton County, Ky. Airport Board — which oversees the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport — had sued an executive assistant after she recorded a conversation about board matters.
While at a hotel in Bologna, Italy, he’d tried to call the executive assistant but had the wrong number. He put the phone into his suit pocket, and then accidentally called the right number. Unaware that she was on the line, he had a private conversation with the board’s vice chairman, Larry Savage, about possibly replacing then-CEO Candace McGraw.
Court documents say the assistant answered and could hear the two talking, but couldn’t make out exactly what they were saying. She said “hello” a few times, but no one heard her. At some point she realized what was going on, and said she “believed that she heard James Huff and Savage engaged in a discussion to discriminate unlawfully against McGraw and felt that it was her responsibility to record the conversation and report it through appropriate channels,” the ruling states.
She took notes and recorded a portion of the 91-minute conversation on her iPhone, which continued as Huff later spoke to his wife in their hotel room.
The assistant then took the audio and summary of the conversation to other members of the Airport Board. Huff and his wife sued the assistant in December 2013, charging that she had violated a federal wiretap act that makes it illegal to intercept electronic or oral communications intentionally.
A district court ruled in the assistant’s favor, finding that the Huffs lacked a reasonable expectation of privacy because Huff had placed the call himself. The Huffs then appealed.
In Tuesday’s decision, Judge Danny Boggs noted that butt dialing is akin to keeping your curtains wide open in your home — there’s no rule that says people can’t look inside.
“…[E]xposure need not be deliberate and instead can be the inadvertent product of neglect,” he wrote in the ruling. “Under the plain-view doctrine, if a homeowner neglects to cover a window with drapes, he would lose his reasonable expectation of privacy with respect to a viewer looking into the window from outside of his property…the doctrine applies to auditory as well as visual information.”
To rub salt in Huff’s wound, the judges cited his own testimony wherein he admitted that not only was he familiar with the idea of the butt dial, he’d done it in the past.
Boggs added that Huff could’ve locked his phone with a passcode or used “one of many downloadable applications that prevent pocket-dial calls,” and yet, he didn’t.
The panel reversed the part of the district court’s decision regarding the wife, finding that she did have a reasonable expectation of privacy while talking to her husband.
“The district court’s holding would logically result in the loss of a reasonable expectation of privacy in face-to-face conversations where one party is aware that a participant in the conversation may have a modern cellphone [sic],” Boggs wrote. “As nearly every participant in a conversation is a potential cellphone [sic] carrier, such a conclusion would dramatically undermine the protection that Title III grants to oral communication.”
Otherwise, the assistant and Huff could’ve conspired to have the phone on and send the conversation with his wife to the assistant. Neither one would’ve violated Title III wiretap act, because no “oral communication” was intercepted.
“But the law does not support this conclusion,” the judge wrote.
It’s worth noting that the phrase “butt dial” isn’t anywhere in the three-judge panel’s decision, except where it cites an article about how to prevent butt dials as an example of what Huff could’ve done:

What is a shorter version of the above article? | – Butt dialers, be warned: If you inadvertently place a call with your posterior, you have no legal right to privacy about anything you then say. So declares the US Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit in Kentucky, reports Courthouse News Service. The case involves an executive on a Kentucky airport board who butt-dialed an assistant, allowing her to overhear 90 minutes of conversation about firing the board's CEO. The assistant took down every word, even recorded some of it, and later presented it the board. The executive sued her, but the court ruled against him this week. "A person who knowingly operates a device that is capable of inadvertently exposing his conversations to third-party listeners and fails to take simple precautions to prevent such exposure does not have a reasonable expectation of privacy," writes Judge Danny Boggs. For the record, the ruling never once uses the phrase "butt dial," notes the Consumerist. And Bloomberg draws a lesson for all: "Having a butt has never been more dangerous."

1. While this memorial to Jackson's extraordinary talents will satisfy some, if you're looking for insight or understanding about Jackson's life and ethos, this 'documentary' is not for you.
2. Calling it a documentary is something of a misnomer. It's both more and less than that because, let's face it, the film is the official party line.
3. For those expecting something deeper than Ortega's High School Musical trilogy, this ain't it.
4. A joyous homage to Jackson's music and peerless dance moves. It's the way Jackson would have wanted to be remembered, and the way his fans will want to remember him.
5. It's Jackson's history of visual iconography that This Is It should aspire to more often.
6. Definitely not proof that Jackson was in good health and ready to go for a big show run. Quite the contrary.
7. I cannot image a visual record of any kind doing a better job of showing us what might have been, which makes it both a cause for celebration and its own unique tragedy
8. A bizarre and opportunist piece of film-making.
9. An incomplete tune.

By. Sarah Griffiths. PUBLISHED:. 15:11 EST, 25 September 2013. |. UPDATED:. 15:11 EST, 25 September 2013. Eating oily fish has long been hailed as a way to keep brains active and cut the risk of a stroke. But now U.S. scientists beileve eating the fish and nuts might not act as a brain boost after all. Contrary to previous research, the latest suggests that omega-3 fatty acids, found in fish such as salmon and in nuts, may not halt the decline in brainpower. Eating oily fish has long been hailed as a way to keep brains active and cut the risk of a stroke. But now U.S. scientists beileve eating the fish and nuts might not act as a brain boost after all. Study author Eric Ammann of the University of Iowa, said: 'There has been a lot of interest in omega-3s as a way to prevent or delay cognitive decline, but unfortunately our study did not find a protective effect in older women. 'In addition, most randomised trials of omega-3 supplements have not found an effect. 'However, we do not recommend that people change their diet based on these results. Past studies have credited oily fish with the ability to cut post-natal depression, reduce the risk of Altzheimer's disease and diabetes, stroke and arthritis as well as help children perform better in exams and even add two years' to a person's life expectancy. Contrary to previous research, the latest study suggests that omega-3 fatty acids, found in fish such as salmon and in nuts, may not halt the decline in brainpower. Oily fish such as salmon or mackerel had the most marked effect, reducing the risk by 52 per cent, a study found. Even eating just one portion of any type of fish each week for 10 years leads to a 29 per cent cut in risk of arthritis, compared with those eating less fish. Middle-aged and older women are traditionally more at risk of rheumatoid arthritis. The Swedish study, published in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases, involved 32,000 women born between 1914 and 1948. The study attributed the benefit to the long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (Pufa) content in fish. Mr Ammann said: 'Researchers continue to study the relationship between omega-3s and the health of the heart, blood vessels and brain. 'We know that fish and nuts can be healthy alternatives to red meat and full-fat dairy products, which are high in saturated fats.' The study, published in the journal Neurology, involved 2,157 women age 65 to 80 who were enrolled in the Women's Health Initiative clinical trials of hormone therapy. The women were given annual tests of thinking and memory skills for an average of six years. Blood tests were taken to measure the amount of omega-3s in the participants' blood before the start of the study. The. researchers found no difference between the women with high and low. levels of omega-3s in the blood at the time of the first memory tests. There was also no difference between the two groups in how fast their thinking skills declined over time. Study author Eric Ammann, of the University of Iowa, said: 'There has been a lot of interest in omega-3s as a way to prevent or delay cognitive decline, but our study did not find a protective effect in older women. In addition, most randomised trials of omega-3 supplements have not found an effect.

Summarize:
And if you're a Playboy model, with nearly 300,000 followers, why not quickly drop your kit and step right into that shot - butt naked.
That is what happened when Jaylene Cook climbed New Zealand's Mount Taranaki.
However local Maori say the move was culturally utterly insensitive.
The top of the volcano is sacred for Maori.
"It's like someone went into St Peter's Basilica in the Vatican and took a nude photo," Dennis Ngawhare, a spokesperson for the local Maori tribe, told the BBC.
"It's a sacred place and something like this is just very inappropriate."
The picture of Ms Cook, herself from New Zealand, was taken when she climbed the mountain a few days ago with her partner.
Posted on her popular Instagram account, the picture of her gazing into the distance from the 2,518m peak has clocked up nearly 10,000 likes.
"People might say it's just rocks and earth so how can you disrespect it?" says Mr Ngawhare.
But for the local Maori, the volcano is considered the burial ground of the tribe's ancestor and is itself seen as an ancestor.
Traditionally, even just climbing to the top of the peak is inappropriate and only very rarely done for ceremonial purpose.
Since the country was colonised by the British, the local tribe often had very little say regarding the mountain - which was named Mount Egmont by Captain Cook - and today accept that tourists want to climb the beautiful volcano.
"It's only recently that we can have some input on what goes on at the mountain," the local Maori spokesman explains.
"We simply ask people to please be respectful. This latest case is just another really annoying example where someone obviously didn't know how to behave here."
Mayor of the local Stratford district, Neil Volzke, agrees the move was culturally insensitive.
"I don't think the picture itself is offensive or obscene - it is just inappropriate to take on top of Mount Taranaki because it is a place with great deal of importance for the Maori community," he told the BBC.
When Ms Cook's nude photo began to draw criticism, she defended herself - saying she did research before and thought taking the picture was not offensive.
But local Maori were left somewhat puzzled.
"It's a clash between Western assumptions and indigenous values and beliefs," Mr Ngaware says.
Previous incidents on Taranaki have also outraged the local Maori community, including a group of hikers taking a barbecue to the peak for a summit grilling session, and people leaving graffiti on the mountain.
"It's a place that should be treated with the utmost respect at all times," insists Mr Volzke.
This is not the first time that a nude picture on a mountain has drawn condemnation from local communities.
In June 2015, a group of Western tourists climbing Mount Kinabalu in Malaysia caused massive outrage and a subsequent deadly earthquake was blamed on their disrespect towards the sacred mountain.
It was only after court proceedings, a few days in prison and a financial penalty, that the tourists were allowed to leave Malaysia.

On Friday, Madonna posted a photo to her Instagram account of her teenage son, Rocco, throwing a punch in a boxing ring with the caption: "Nobody messes with Dirty Soap! Mama said knock you out!" she wrote below the picture, adding the hashtag "#disni—a." Yes, of course. When the inevitable public outcry began of her use of the n-word, the photo was deleted and reposted, its caption replaced with, in true Madonna fashion, "#get off my d—k haters!" None of this furor is accidental. The pop icon is no stranger to controversy, but now it may be time to examine the consequences of her latest cultural tourism in the name of reinvention. In each of her many visual incarnations and cultural flings, Madonna has been predictably parasitic. She shamelessly moves on to the next character, having usurped all the cool or controversial parts of the previous one. Now, there is her use of the n-word. This lack of concern for the impact of her words is especially troubling because of her rainbow coalition of children, adopted and biological. But this is Madonna we're talking about. As rumors of a possible performance with Beyoncé at the Grammys next month swirl, it make sense that she's crept back into the news. This is the woman who embraced her title as the Queen of Obscene decades ago. This is the woman who bared all for her widely banned coffee table book "Sex," released alongside the "Erotica" album in 1992. She has performed hanging from a cross, criticized the Iraq War and masturbated both on stage and in movies. Lady Gaga may live for the applause, but Madge no doubt lives for the uproar. She is as adept at generating headlines as she is at churning out chart-topping albums. And she's more likely to respond with a middle finger than a heartfelt apology. She stands firm in her decisions and historically doesn't back down from her statements. I previously valued that very quality in her. Madonna: 'N-word' hashtag was 'term of endearment' to son. As a dancer and former aspiring choreographer, I appreciate the bold spectacle in Madonna's live shows. Her wildly successful Confessions Tour, for example, demonstrated the penchant for pushing creative boundaries that has kept me on board even when critics abandoned her. But even that fandom comes with reservations. It's expected that influences change as musical trends and interests shift. But Madonna? She has put in overtime to earn her status as cultural tourist-in-chief, cherry-picking the most catchy, marketable aspects of her current host culture for commercial benefit with little regard for integrity or respect of the reception to her behavior. When she offended Hindus by wearing a bindi, which is symbolic of chastity and purity, while wearing a see-through top at a VMA performance, a spokesperson told MTV that Madonna did not "understand why [they] are upset." She defended her use of Nazi imagery during her MDNA Tour as being used to highlight "the intolerance humans have for one another." Madonna has repeatedly demonstrated that she views cultural iconography, from dance styles to religious symbols, as artistic statements and sets them aside when no longer convenient. In her early days, she mimicked Marilyn Monroe. Then came her Spanish fixation in the late 1980s with "La Isla Bonita." In 1990, she introduced voguing to the world, a dance style made popular by gay black and Latino creators. Then came bindis, saris, funky henna tattoos and ambiguous prayer-chanting magic on her "Ray of Light" album. She was a butt-kicking female Che Guevera type on the artwork of "American Life." Each image immaculately styled, each revamp merely enduring the life cycle of her current fascination. Using the n-word on Instagram is just Madge being Madge. And her "I'm sorry if you were offended"-style nonapology doesn't indicate that she's learned anything from the backlash. Would she defiantly brush off the same "term of endearment" were it directed to her black children adopted from Malawi, David Banda and Mercy James? Has she become overly comfortable, having black friends, peers and black children? This incident is less about Madonna being a racist and more about her continued lack of tact. This would make a great teachable moment for her children about mistakes and consequences, in her latest reinvention as a humanitarian and mother. But it should first be a lesson for Madonna herself. The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Alexander Hardy.
What are the important parts of this article? | Madonna's recent controversy should not be a surprise, the author says.
