Washington and Israel partner in jointly planned imperial wars and related activities.
Walter Pincus reports on national security issues for the Washington Post. He's been at it many years. In late December he'll turn 80.
On November 28, he headlined "US overseeing mysterious construction project in Israel," saying:
"The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers plans to supervise construction of a five-story underground facility for an Israel Defense Forces complex…."
It's called "Site 911." It'll be built at an Israeli air force base near Tel Aviv. Construction will take two years or longer. Time frames are often extended. Cost is expected to be about $100 million. Before completion, double that amount or more wouldn't surprise.
Washington's Baghdad embassy was originally projected to cost $592 million. When completed, cost overruns spiraled the total over $2 billion some believe.
The Israeli facility will "have classrooms on Level 1, an auditorium on Level 3, a laboratory, shock-resistant doors, protection from non-ionizing radiation, and very tight security."
"Clearances will be required for all construction workers. Guards will be at the fence, and barriers will separate it from the rest of the base."
Construction bids are due by December 3. Only US firms are involved.
Under the Foreign Military Sales (FMS) program, Washington supplies weapons, munitions, and other defense related services to other nations and international organizations.
Sometimes they're sold. Other times they're given. The Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) administers FMS.
Washington was involved in many previous construction projects for Israel's IDF. They're undertaken under FMS.
About half a billion dollars in US military construction for Israel followed its 1998 Wye River Memorandum with Palestine. Another half billion went for Israeli security measures. Palestine got smaller amounts.
Both sides agreed to terms. At issue was finalizing the September 1995 Interim Agreement on the West Bank and Gaza Strip (Oslo II).
Israel reneged like it always does. Palestine was blamed. Netanyahu was prime minister at the time.
Pincus omitted those inconvenient facts. Israeli construction was done in the Negev. IDF forces got three new bases. Supposedly it was to facilitate redeploying forces from West Bank locations.
Israel's Nevatim air base was built at the time. It's one of Israel's largest. The Corps of Engineers constructed extensive facilities. Other ones were built earlier.
They included "underground hangers for Israeli fighter-bombers, facilities for handling nuclear weapons….command centers, training bases, intelligence facilities and simulators."
Washington provides Israel more aid than all other nations combined. It's very generous with US tax dollars for its imperial ally.
The Corps maintains three facilities in Israel. In the past two years, it built Nevatim hangers. They cost $30 million.
It also "supervised a $20 million project to build maintenance shops, hangers, and headquarters to support Israel's large Eitan" UAV program.
Site 911 will be built elsewhere. It appears to be one of the Corps' largest projects. Three underground floors will be roughly 41,000 feet each.
Two others below them will be smaller. They'll store equipment. Security is high. So is secrecy. Non-Israeli workers will only come from America, "Canada, Western Europe countries, Poland, Moldavia, Thailand, Philippines, Venezuela, Romania and China."
Palestinians are excluded. According to security considerations, the site "shall have one gate only for both entering and exiting the site."
"No exit or entrance to the site shall be allowed during work hours except for supply trucks."
Guards will only be Israeli citizens with air force experience. "The collection of information of any type whatsoever related to base activities is prohibited."
Israeli architectural firm Ada Karmi-Melamede is involved. Eventual site employees will be provided amenities.
Mezuzahs are parchments with inscribed Hebrew verses. Usually they're contained in decorative cases.
The facility will have special ones. They'll be "written in inerasable ink on….uncoated leather parchment." They'll be handwritten by a 'scribe' "holding a written authorization according to Jewish law."
They'll "be proof-read by a computer at an authorized institution for Mezuzah inspection, as well as manually…for the form of the letters by a proof-reader authorized by the Chief Rabbinate."
Mystery surrounds the site. Pentagon and Israeli Defense Ministry spokesmen said little. Pincus said bids for another secret Israeli project costing about $100 million for starters is scheduled to be awarded next summer.
It will involve "a complex facility with site development challenges." Services required will include "electrical, communication, mechanical/HVAC, and plumbing."
The US contractor chosen must have secret US/Israeli clearance. Two years of construction are likely. Pincus guesses it's for a "secure command center." What's planned for Site 911 "is far less clear."
What's ongoing nearer-term matters most. Iran's in focus. Washington and Israel want regime change.
Previous articles explained lawless sanctions, sabotage, subversion, cyber attacks, assassinations, saber rattling, falsified IAEA hype, Netanyahu bluster, US warmongering, spurious accusations, manipulated to fail P5+1 talks, and inflammatory headlines.
Will Obama attack in 2013? Will Israel ride shotgun? Netanyahu will likely be reelected in January. Expect him to head a new coalition government.
It may be more hardline than the current one. Prospects for peace aren't good. Washington and Israel deplore it.
Heading into the new year, look for propaganda to intensify. An Iranian threat will again make headlines. Perhaps a major false flag is planned. Put nothing behind extremists in charge in both countries.
Direct US-led NATO intervention in Syria perhaps looms. Washington won't quit until the entire country is destroyed. Libya 2.0 may be planned.
Death squad mercenaries need air power. Installing US-controlled Patriot missiles in Turkey on Syria's border ups the ante. At issue is providing no-fly zone protection. Doing so is an act of war.
Reports suggest Obama plans "deeper intervention." "Responsibility to protect (R2P)" slaughter and mass destruction may follow.
Post-election, Obama is unrestrained. Hawks want him to act. He needs little pushing. Full-scale intervention could come anytime. It won't stop until Syria is entirely ravaged.
Perhaps Pillar of Cloud was act one. Terror-bombing Syria may follow. Hezbollah may be next. Then Iran if plans to isolate the Islamic Republic succeed.
Post-holiday tidings are worrisome. The entire region may be ravaged. At stake are more monstrous crimes. No end of them loom.

About Student Haus
Student Haus is a Student Property (HMO) Management and Letting Agent, helping students and landlords in Salford, Manchester & Bolton with their accommodation needs. Visit our website for more student homes www.student-haus.com
How to calculate your monthly student rent?
Here`s an example. If your weekly rent is £80 per student tenant multiply this by 52 (the number of weeks in the year), and divide it by 12 (the number of months in the year). Hence 80 x 52 = 4160 ÷ 12 = £346.66 per calendar month.

It's been a long day. Sessions were generally OK. However, the most unexpected topic was the one that I really needed the most. Dr. William B Saxbe, Jr spoke at 4 pm today on "How to be a Bad Genealogist." I expected some humor. But this session had us all in laughs for the full hour. This was a great way to end the day. If you ever have a chance to hear Dr. Saxbe speak on this topic, and you need a laugh, make sure to attend this session.
I didn't go to any truly crowded sessions, but I'll order CDs for them.
While Tom Jones and Elizabeth Shown Mills had full classes in the largest room, according to some other attendees two other sessions (held in smaller rooms) also had to turn some people away. "Pursuing your Genealogical Research in the Library of Congress without traveling to Washington, D.C." by James Sweany and John T Humphrey's "German Language Skills for the Genealogist". Isn't it great to see the wide variety of choices?
Every time I walked by the 1940 indexing station, the computers were full. What a great way to get more indexers. While you index two projects, someone is right there to answer questions.
I'm making my list of sessions for tomorrow. I also need to get my CD order organized so I can turn it in during the morning. The vendor hall closes at 3 tomorrow so lunch time will be my last opportunity to make sure I haven't missed anything.
I've been talking to people who have ipads and other devices. I'm trying to decide what I want to replace my heavy laptop while I'm traveling. I definitely want a full-sized keyboard, since I touch type. I'm not sure I can deal with a keyboard on the screen. I appreciate all of the people who have shown me their "devices" and told me what they liked about then and what they might buy now, whether it is the same thing or something different.
It's time to get my two (minimum) projects indexed tonight. Then it's to bed. I think. Some music is reaching my room from street level (and I'm on the 28th floor). The front desk doesn't know where it's coming from. I'm afraid it's going to be a late night of entertainment for others, and "secondary music" for me until after 11. I hope not, but I'll deal with it.

Spotify online music service arrives in U.S
You may have not heard of Spotify, but millions of Europeans are intimately aware of the world class online music service. Now, Spotify is available in the U.S., in free, premium, and mobile versions. There has been a lot of domestic online buzz about Spotify, but many Americans are unaware of what may arguably be the largest legal online music service, with a claimed 15 million tracks of music available.
At present, users who would like to subscribe to the free version of the Spotify service must have an invite to join, and several affinity groups and consumer products are offering invites to Spotify. The general public can request an invite on the main Spotify Web page (www.spotify.com/us/hello-america), and an invite will be sent via e-mail as capacity becomes available. An invite is not necessary for those who would like to subscribe to the paid Spotify service, which starts at $4.99 per month for the "Unlimited" subscription, and $9.99 monthly for the "Premium" service. Spotify is available in PC and MAC versions for desktops, laptops, netbooks and most smart phones, making these millions of music tracks readily available whenever and wherever needed. The free desktop version is advertiser supported, with ads displayed along the right edge of the desktop display, and an occasional short audio ad after a number of selections have been played; the paid subscriptions do not display or play ads. The offline versions are only available by paid subscription.
I received an early invite to Spotify, and signed up for the free version. After registering online using the registration code provided by Spotify in the e-mail invitation, I downloaded the 5 megabyte installer for the desktop version. The installation ran smoothly, and upon completion, opened the desktop utility. On the left edge of the desktop utility are a series of choices that can locate and display any music already on the computer, import playlists from Windows Media Player, add titles to a playlist, and display any compatible devices that may be connected to the computer. The "What's New" feature opens a tabbed central window that displays new releases, the most popular tracks and albums selected by users, and "Feed" displays music shared by your friends on Facebook as well as the latest news from Spotify.
The millions of tracks available can be searched by title or album from the search box, and results can be easily selected into playlists. According to Spotify, " ... creating playlists is as easy as drag and drop. Each new playlist is saved to your account, and will be accessible from wherever you use Spotify." Being a fan of classical Gershwin, I did a search for "Rhapsody in Blue," and well over 100 versions and related titles appeared. On the left of each item is a gold star that can be selected, and this helps create the playlist. On the left side of the window is a button "+ New Playlist," which I clicked on, and aptly named Rhapsody in Blue. I clicked on the "Starred" link on the left, and the selections that I had chosen were all displayed; I painted the list, and dragged the starred list over to my newly created Rhapsody in Blue playlist, and my customized playlist was immediately created. I added some "An American in Paris" and "Porgy and Bess," and created my version of about three hours of musical bliss. As each item in the playlist is played, the image of the original album cover appears on the bottom left corner of the display.Spotify offers the opportunity to share tracks and playlists with others. I had to try it, and clicked on the playlist title in the left column, and a "Share" link appeared on the top of the page. With a single click, the playlist can be shared on Facebook, Twitter, or Microsoft Messenger. The Spotify software instantly posted my playlist on Facebook, and with the displayed link at open.spotify.com/user/iwilsker/playlist/1EYbroWYaBd72nf4hldVXR, anyone can download the free Spotify player and listen to my playlist. I downloaded the Spotify installer to my laptop using the same username and password created for my desktop computer, installed it, and the playlists I created on my desktop magically appeared on my laptop! One click, and I was listening to my favorite music.
The features of Spotify, including any prepared playlists, can be played over most mobile phones with a free or paid subscription, but a paid subscription is necessary to access the playlist offline. In order to listen to streaming Spotify over a mobile or smart phone, a paid premium subscription and a 2.5G or 3G (or faster) connection, or WiFi, is necessary. Users of iPhones or Android devices can download the Spotify app giving full access to Spotify, including synching your own music files with Spotify. According to the Spotify Web site, apps for Symbian phones (mostly from Nokia), Windows phones and Palm phones are in development and are expected to be available soon, but apps for some of these phones might have recently become available. Apps for other phone operating systems may possibly be available, which can be determined by connecting the phone browser to m.spotify.com, and following the on screen prompts. If an app is available, it will be displayed, along with installation instructions.
For those who may desire additional features, the "Unlimited $4.99" or "Premium $9.99" monthly subscriptions will provide additional benefits over the free service. The Unlimited version has all of the features of the free version but does not display or play any advertisements, and has the ability to be available for up to 14 days when traveling outside the U.S. The Premium version has all of the Unlimited features, plus increased functionality on mobile phones, offline availability of playlists on both computers and mobile phones (no Internet connection required), unlimited international access (for travelers going outside the U.S.), enhanced sound quality, and the capability to play Spotify through connected music systems (possibly without a computer). It should be noted that at present, offline content is limited to a precise maximum of 3,333 tracks, which should be adequate for most users.
For those who would like to legally access millions of tracks of online music, and play or share tracks and playlists at will, Spotify may be very entertaining. Oh, and my Rhapsody in Blue playlist is still playing on my computer.
Listen to Ira Wilsker's weekly radio show on Mondays from 6-7 p.m. on KLVI 560AM.

The increasing number of power quality textbooks reflect the growth of the industry and the increasing importance of power quality in the economy. Barry Kennedy's Power Quality Primer , published by McGraw-Hill, is one example. It covers the field of power quality from the ground up.
Topics addressed in the book include the characteristics of proper power quality; power quality standards and solutions; surveys and how to perform them; and wiring and grounding.-
In addition, Power Quality Primer features three noteworthy chapters. One provides extensive coverage of power quality measurement instruments and how to use them properly.
Another chapter highlights an area rarely covered in texts — power quality economics. It discusses collecting costs, the cost-benefit ratio of power quality solutions, mitigation equipment costs, and the conditions that allow favorable economics.
Finally, a third chapter focuses on future trends. Kennedy sees the industry moving toward tighter standards, better training, guaranteed power quality verification of contracts and performance, deregulation, and power quality parks.
As for reference material, the book contains a superb glossary of power quality and reliability terms, plus one of the most extensive bibliographies of power quality literature. If you're a power or facility engineer, power quality equipment manufacturer, or an engineering or energy consultant, consider adding this book to your library.

Gartner Projects Nastiest PC Decline in History
Shipments will drop 11.9% this year to 257 million units worldwide, the steepest plunge ever
By: Maureen O'Gara
Mar. 4, 2009 04:45 AM
Gartner is currently figuring PC shipments will drop 11.9% this year to 257 million units worldwide, the steepest plunge ever. PCs' worst showing before was in 2001 when the market declined a mere 3.2%.
Gartner says sales in emerging countries will contract for the first time ever too – by 10.4%, it thinks, versus 13% in developed countries.
It figures desktop sales will be down 31.9% to 101.1 million boxes and laptops up 9% to 155.6 million units.
It thinks netbooks will be up 79% to 21 million units, representing 8% of total PC shipments but a drop in the proverbial bucket.
Gartner research director George Shiffler described how the world will come undone, "Slower GDP growth will generally weaken demand and slow new penetration," he said, "lengthening PC lifetimes will reduce replacements and supplier caution will keep inventories at historic lows."
Meanwhile, IDC cut its numbers on PC sales in Asia sans Japan by ~10%, saying that they would be flat this year at 74 million units. It's less optimistic than it was about next year, taking its Asian growth numbers down 5% to 13% and then up 21% in 2011. We just have to live that long.

Subscribe To Donald Glover And Andy Samberg Part Of Aubrey Plaza's Hand Job Updates
I've already subscribed
Hollywood may be shying away from R-rated dramas and action movies, but for some reason this formula of censorship and profit based on fear hasn't yet been applied to comedies. R-rated comedies are still just as in vogue as they were back when Judd Apatow was still directing good ones. The grosser and more offensive, the better it seems, so maybe we shouldn't be surprised that things are moving forward on The Hand Job.
The Hand Job is being made from a 2009 Black List script, and it's unlikely to contain anything as shocking as the bathtub scene in Hall Pass. However since it's a Black List script, unlike Hall Pass, it may be funny. At the least, they have a very funny cast. The Playlist caught up with Bill Hader, previously announced as being part of the film (and whose wife Maggie Carey wrote the script), and he spilled the beans on the latest additions to this comedic jerk off. Here's Hader:
"There's Alia Shawkat, Mae Whitman, Johnny Simmons, Donald Glover, Connie Britton, Andy Samberg, Me… that'll be a cool thing to do together."Aubrey Plaza, probably best known from NBC's Parks and Recreation (the show for people who don't get Community but want to seem hip and funny), or from Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (nah nobody actually saw Scott Pilgrim, sadly) is still set to star in the film as a high school bookworm who graduates a virgin and decides she'd get busy. She's she's a studious type, the girl makes an order list which starts with a hand-job and, presumably, (just guessing here) ends up on the cover of a porn video sticking something in Peter North. All of this, except the part about Peter North, sounds pretty good.

This Mother's Day is a very special one for me. I'm expecting my first child in just a few weeks. It's a time filled with anticipation and hope. But most of all, this new addition to my family and my life has given even more urgency to our effort to create an inclusive green economy.
It's pretty hard not to want to leave behind a healthier, greener, more prosperous world when it's your own child who will be living in it. Maybe that's why women have contributed so much over the decades to movements for justice and peace.
In fact, we can trace Mother's Day in America back to an early activist. In 1870, fed up with the carnage of the Civil War, feminist and abolitionist Julia Ward Howe issued a "Mother's Day Proclamation" calling for women to band together to promote disarmament and peace. Howe believed women could be an unstoppable force for social change. She was right.
From suffrage to civil rights to farmworkers justice, women have played a key role in the progress we've made over the past century. So when we celebrate Mother's Day, we're also celebrating the power of women to change the world.
That's why I could not be more proud and excited to announce the release our new music video collaboration for the song "7 Billion" by Silent C and Invest.
Their song -- which won Green For All's 2012 Dream Reborn Music Contest -- taps into the power of the planet's growing population to overcome poverty and oppression and create a better world. It also highlights the role women play in creating more peaceful and just nations and communities -- and in transforming individual lives.
Women like my own mother, who worked hard to support our family. I grew up in the shadow of oil refineries and polluting industry, where, too often, families like mine were forced to choose between their jobs and their health. But my mom showed me what people can do when they come together for a purpose. When she joined a union and began to make a fair wage, my prospects in life suddenly improved -- and so did those of all the other kids whose parents were in the union. I witnessed the way community organizing can make a difference in real people's lives -- and that may have been one of the most valuable lessons my mother taught me.
So this Mother's Day, in honor of my mom Gail Lamkins, I'm going to share this inspiring video. And I'm going to fight harder than ever for a greener and more inclusive America.
You can join me. Take a moment to share the "7 Billion" video and tell us about a woman who's inspired you. And help our movement grow.

It's time for BlizzCon 2010, Blizzard's annual fan gathering and celebration of all things Diablo, StarCraft, and Warcraft. What does Blizzard have in store for fans this year?
The show kicks off tomorrow with our live blog of the opening ceremonies at noon Pacific. From there we'll take you on a Blizzard-soaked trip all weekend long, breaking out the major World of Warcraft, Diablo III, and StarCraft II news, interviewing the creators behind the games, and roaming the crowded halls of the Anaheim Convention Center in search of the best in Blizzard cosplay.
Comedian Jay Mohr returns once again to host Friday night's costume and dance contest, and on Saturday night, Jack Black and Kyle Gass, otherwise known as Tenacious D, will bring the walls of the convention center crumbling down around them with an explosion of purest metal.
And of course, keep an eye out later tonight for our first look inside the BlizzCon 2010 swag bag. Will there be more hand sanitizer this year? I certainly hope so.
For a look at all the news leading up to and coming out of BlizzCon 2010, keep your eyes on our BlizzCon 2010 tag page. It should be getting much longer very shortly.

Newlywed Stoners Arrested for Shoplifting Food for Their Own Reception
Arthur Phillips and Brittany Lurch (ha!) were married on August 18, and set their wedding reception for 5:30pm on August 20th. That same afternoon they walked into a Pennsylvania supermarket, filled their cart with $1,000 worth of food, and walked out without paying. What a way to start a marriage!
The store called the cops, naturally, and officers arrested the pair. They then found a marijuana pipe in the couple's car. Aside from both facing misdemeanor charges of retail theft, Lurch was also charged with possession of drug paraphernalia as well as not changing her awful last name when she had the chance. God, have these two not ever heard of gift registry? I'm sure you can register at Stop and Shop these days for some beer, wine, cake, and crudite platters. Oh, and Heluva Dip. That shit is bangin'.


text: Yesterday the mods escalated an issue where some pieces of equipment and charms were not working as intended. We fixed the issue and have deployed the fix. What happened? A designer at some point didn't include a piece of data in their equipment launch. The designer then copied that data into a template creating a broken workflow which perpetuated. The designer no longer works here and we've fixed that data flow. Why did it take so long to fix? I don't know. [ata]Jean and I just rejoined this team and are doing our best to catch up on what's happening in KAW. We didn't hear about this issue until recently though. What now? While it's easy for us to see which players were affected. It would be literally impossible to come up with a way to establish a scope of affect so we are blanket comping each player that was affected. If you were affected you will get a notification with the comp. Thanks for you patience while we work on this. What next? We're working on replacing the designer and in the mean time trying to fix some things on KAW but Jean and I are stretched a bit thin until we have someone ramped up. In the mean time we'll do our best.

Apple iOS 7: The Most Exciting Features
We review products independently, but we may earn affiliate commissions from buying links on this page. Terms of use.
The big news from yesterday's Worldwide Developer Conference keynote was the introduction of iOS 7, which is "the biggest change to iOS since the iPhone," said Apple CEO Tim Cook.
The redesign architected by chief designer Jony Ive embraces a more "flat" design; say goodbye to bubbled text messages, for example. But it's still colorful, and moves with you, letting you "look" behind apps, according to Apple. The font, meanwhile, is much slimmer than in previous versions of iOS.
"Installing iOS 7 on your phone is like getting an entirely new phone, but one that you already know how to use [and that is] beautiful and more functional," said Craig Federighi, Apple's senior vice president of software engineering.
It's not all design with iOS 7. There are security updates, shortcuts for easier access to frequently used functions, more full-featured multi-tasking, and a boost to Siri, among other things. After months of rumors, Apple also took the wraps off iTunes Radio, which is more like Pandora than the on-demand listening available via Spotify.
Apple made iOS 7 available to developers yesterday, but it won't be officially released until the fall – likely around the same time Apple reveals its newest iPhone. But iOS 7 will also work on the iPhone 4, 4S, and 5, as well as the fifth-gen iPod touch, and iPad 2, fourth-gen iPad, and iPad mini.
For a closer look at what iOS 7 has to offer, check out the slideshow.

Welcome Spectators
Thank you for your support of Subaru IRONMAN Canada! We know how important you are in getting every IRONMAN athlete to the start and finish line. Below are some tips on how to have a fantastic spectator experience. Also, check out our Spectator Guide to Whistler's Subaru IRONMAN® Canada from the Whistler Insider with all the top spots to watch the action. You can also find detailed maps of Whistler to help you navigate on race day.
Best places to spectate according to the Race Director:
It is difficult to pick a "favourite" part of an IRONMAN day, but here are a few things you shouldn't miss!
Brave the early call and head out to Rainbow park first thing to watch the IRONMAN start unfold - it is an incredibly impressive sight! Walk or ride your bike there via the Valley Trail early to secure a good spot. The roads are closed, there is no parking, and the shuttle is for athletes and volunteers only on race day so this spot is for those morning go-getters willing to take on that extra mile! If you don't want to make the trek, don't worry! There is a big screen in Whistler Olympic Plaza with a live feed to the swim start for your viewing pleasure from the comfort of town.
Check out the Alpine Cafe after 1:00pm to catch cyclists heading south, and runners heading north for the first time. Whistler FM usually does a live feed from here, so it is an exciting party atmosphere and a great place to catch some of the action.
Head out to Nicklaus North and enjoy the beauty of Green Lake while watching the runners take on the looping run course. This is a great place to tip a pint and enjoy a lovely terrace view of the final leg.
Last, but certainly not least, make sure you make it down to Blackcomb Way and the finish line between 10:00pm and midnight! Help cheer on those final athletes as they hit hours 16 and 17 out on the course - it will be a moving, emotional and inspirational couple of hours with a vibe you will never forget.
At Whistler.com we've got more great local advice on the best places to watch the race and how to get around town, plus insider tips on the best things to see and do in the resort while you're here.
Things to do in Whistler:
There's plenty to do in Whistler on a summer day – check out all the activities and be sure to plan a day or two to relax and explore as well as spectate. You can also browse our suggested itineraries for more ideas, and find places to stay, dine and relax online.

It is so fun making all these tutorials based on some pretty interesting looking ponies in a MLP drawing style. I never would have thought that I would be into drawing these horses. Ever since the animated series came out I have been swamped with requests for me to make tutorials based on the ponies from the series. Today I have a special treat for all you fairy lovers out there. Here is "how to draw a fairy pony", step by step in a My Little Pony style. This pony is going to be super fun and special to recreate because she is so incredibly pretty. I chose to go with a purple color for her hyde but you guys can choose any shade you wish. The wings are one of my favorte parts of her body because they are so fairy like. The flower in this ponies ear makes her look even more sweet. If you notice I also included a cutie mark on her hip which is in the form of small mushrooms. As you know fairies love hanging around mushrooms as they are a sitting and resting spot for them. I know that a majority of you will like this lesson, and if you don't that's okay. You can tweak this fairy pony to your liking because after all that's what art is all about. Adios people and enjoy drawing a fairy pony!

Abstract: Abstract: The balance of payments of Greenland has special features due to an important current transfer, bloktilskud, from Denmark. The trade balance does not exhibit a deficit of this order of magnitude but comparison of the bloktilskud and the deficit is difficult as official figures are available for the merchandise trade only. Figures for services are missing. However, guesses about the size of a deficit in the services' trade do not easily discard the impression of a large surplus on the current account. Over a ten year period it is suggested that accumulated surpluses could be twice the level of Greenland's GDP. This seems unlikely, but the available data raise a puzzle that ought to be addressed as it nourishes suspicion of unobserved accumulation of wealth. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7550

Abstract: Resource rents and models for taxation of these rents. Some references to the situation for Greenland. After a general introduction to the concept of rents the risk of distortion by double taxation of the normal capital income to investment is explained. Cash flow taxation or deduction in the tax base of investment times the risk free interest rate can be used to avoid this double taxation. Among other instruments to secure a part of rents for the public sector are direct participation and selling rights to exploit the resources by auction. The greater part of the paper is about taxation of rents in fisheries. The regulation is assumed to be based on professional advising and individual transferable quotas. Duties on the quota or a general cost increasing tariff, e. g. on fuel, are administratively simple models for taxation. Cost increasing indirect taxation has the good quality of incentive compatibility, as it supports the effort reducing aim of regulation. A concrete example illustrates a possible taxation of the prawn/shrimp fishery combining a duty on the quota with a tariff levied on the catch. Some comment are given on a recent report on the shrimp fishery (2005), and it is criticised for highlighting the theoretical qualities of Greenland's fisheries policy, but neglecting the regulation and also to which extent incomes derived from quotas end up as income for Greenlandic households.

Abstract: This paper provides an assessment of Greenland's tax system and contemplates changes that may be undertaken in the future to prepare for greater economic self-reliance and for the country's participation in the wider world economy. At the outskirts of Europe, Greenland is an autonomous part of the Danish kingdom, though currently not a member of EU. However, its cooperation with European countries and its dependency on international trade renders it necessary for the tax system in Greenland to be attuned to developments in the rest of the world. Drawing on a thorough international benchmarking analysis of Greenland's tax system, the paper's special focus will be on the corporate tax system and its interplay with personal taxation, as well on as the system of import duties. In particular, we carry out computations of effective marginal and average corporate tax rates, as well as average effective tax burdens on consumption, labour income and capital income, and compare these to similar measures for EU countries. In addition, we outline how Greenland's economic policy in other areas interferes with tax policy. Especially fishery regulation, management of government-owned companies, and housing policy have major implications for the tax system.

The low-cost air carrier that had a bit of fun with a certain anatomically-named New York senator has turned its attention to Illinois' convicted former governor.
Rod Blagojevich was found guilty of attempting to sell President Barack Obama's vacated U.S. Senate seat, but Spirit Airlines says its guilty of selling "f-ing golden" airplane seats.
One-way seats to several destinations around the country are just $17 each way. That's a single buck for each guilty verdict that was returned Monday.
The fares must be booked by 11:59 p.m. Wednesday and are just for "$9 Fare Club" members, the airline said on its website.
Ironically, there are no flight to or from anywhere in Illinois.

Product Reviews
Fenwick® Elite Tech™ Bass Spinning is rated out of 5 by 80.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Creekwalker from Most comfortable handle I received a 6'9" and a 7' MH Elete Tech Bass rod as replacement for two Elete Tech Smallmouth rods I broke in Canada in an accident(my fault). I like the new rods much better; and i liked the old ones. The handle is very comfortable. This is important to me as I suffer from arthritis. The rods are very well balanced, the handles are correct length and the variety of materials make them easy to grip and comfortable in the hand. The short trigger spur is perfect. I have found Fenwick's Cust. Service the best in the industry. Fenwick for life. S.V. Dalton

Rated 5 out of 5 by Mike T from Strong but sensitive These are the best bass rods available, strong and flexible yet very sensitive. I've owned 1 rod paired with a pflueger supreme reel 3+ years now and the durability of the rod is unsurpassed. I bought a second rod 5 months ago and paired it with a Quantum smoke reel and truly enjoy catching smallies in the 3-5# range with total confidence. The rods are light weight and dependable allowing me to cast for hours. Thanks again Fenwick for your high quality product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by wnybass3114 from Very Light and Super Sensitive I purchased this rod to replace a broken dropshot rod from last year. This rod is extremely sensitive and light weight. It balances very well with a size 30 reel. This is ideal for dropshot, shakey head and other light weight finesse techniques. I have used many rods in the $100 dollar range and this is well worth the extra money. The construction of the handle and guides are much better than a cheaper rod, and translate to better feel and increased sensitivity. I look forward to buying a casting rod in the Elite Tech Bass line.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Fishin Hole Ron from Fine fishing rod I am a custom rod builder for the last 8 years. I am 76 years old. I have been a fan of Fenwick for years. I saw this model at a sports store recently. I was so taken with it i bought two. One medium and 1 medium heavy. You people at Fenwick are to be congratulated on making fine fishing rods. These new models are especially good. I have found them to be very sensitive to the bite and they are very light and beautiful. One feature I discovered by accident. They FLOAT, long enough to be retrieved when knocked overboard. I love the machined aluminum fore end lock and best of all the way the reel seat assembly and fore end encase the reel so there is no chance of the reel falling off the rod. That is a superb feature. It is especially refreshing to see good composition cork being used instead of the cheap stuff. I would love to see what one of these rods would feel like fitted with a 8 or 9 inch long rear grip on it like 1.1 inch diameter to fit a larger than normal hand. 1 inch seems to be a bit small. Workmanship, in every aspect , is excellent. My wife thinks i"m crazy, buying rods when I make them. I know quality when I see it. Keep up the excellent work.

Rated 5 out of 5 by samubus from 6'9" 2 Piece I was looking for a rod to replace my St. Croixs that I sold. I have tendon problems in my hand and the reel seat threads and hoods on the Premiers were causing my hand to fall asleep. I picked this Fenwick rod up at Field and Stream and what a comfortable handle. I fished it for 1.5 hours straight and no "needles" in my hand. I threw a Blue Fox #3 Vibrax and a Mann's Crankbait and every little bump on the bottom could be felt as well as the vibrations. The blank has plenty of backbone and handles lures very well with minimal flex except at the tip. The sections held in place and it fished like a one piece rod. This rod was a pleasure to use and I look forward to fishing with it for years to come due to the lifetime warranty. The Elite Tech feels every bit as good as my St. Croix Premiers did but with a superbly comfortable handle. I'm now a Fenwick man and will be getting the MH version also. Fenwick hit a home run with this one folks!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jayjayccr from 6'9" medium Moderate Fast tip LOVE IT!!! This is my go to, fish it all rod. The moderate fast tip on this rod is pretty amazing. It is fast enough to jig and soft enough to defy the most acrobatic fish. It has plenty of back one to land some big ones. I did buy an Elite tech walleye specifically for jigging but this rod can handle the jigs very well and have caught many walleye and bass using it with 1/4 - 1/2 oz jig heads

Rated 4 out of 5 by tutter2 from very sensitive rod purchased this primarily for trout fishing. it casts like a dream and is extremely sensitive, you feel everything that's going on. handles 1/32 oz lures well. i pair it with an ultralight reel and either 4 or 2 lb test mono. the only thing that takes getting used to is the elongated butt on this rod. the rod is well balanced, but if you aren't used to a rod with a longer butt section below the reel, it feels awkward at first. i don't know why the longer butt section is necessary for handling smaller fish like trout. that's just personal preference, otherwise, its a beauty !!

The challenge and promise of unstructured data
- Jun 10, 2012 6:00 am GMT
- 225 views
As utilities have waded into the data-heavy post-Smart Grid era, utility leaders from across the enterprise are seeing that there is value in all of that data beyond simply managing the volumes of data and getting it to the right people. This, of course, is where analytics is proving to be a "game changer" at many utility organizations.
We'll be discussing these and other issues at Utility Analytics Week.
Turning the volumes of data into actionable intelligence is what the analytics game is all about, and utilities are finding more ways to do score points in this game on a seemingly daily basis. The examples range from new business processes for managing assets predictively to segment and targeting customers for new programs to re-shaping the load curve, and more. These examples—and countless others—are all dependent on the ability to move the organization from using all of that data to report "what happened" to operating predictively by taking the knowledge from the historical data and changing business processes based on this knowledge. When done well, the improvements across customer, financial, operational, and regulatory requirements can be significant.
Inherent in these opportunities are a new set of challenges, including the emergence of unstructured data in utility customer and grid databases. Unstructured Data (or unstructured information) is information that either does not "fit" into a pre-defined data model and/or does not "play well" with relational tables. Unstructured data is typically characterized as being text-heavy, but may also have numeric information as well, such as dates and raw numbers. This lack of structure creates irregularities and ambiguities that make it difficult to understand using traditional computer programs that would pull data from more tabular types of databases structures.
Examples of how different unstructured data can be include text data from various social media platforms, voice data from customer service telephone calls that have been converted to text, or possibly even data from synchro-phasers out on the distribution grid. Nuggets of quantitative and qualitative information are buried in these unstructured piles of data, but they require different management, manipulation, and application tools to be effective.
Another example of unstructured data that most utilities encounter is from free text fields in systems and survey applications. Customer service representatives or customers populate these fields with valuable customer data in an un-codified format that's hard to "mine." Mari Vandewettering at Portland General Electric in (Portland, OR) tells of their challenges in working with this type of unstructured data: "A lot of the unstructured data that we see is in free text fields in our operational systems and from surveys that customers fill out directly on our website, or in our community offices. We're still learning how to work with this and are using some new text-analytics software tools to get there, but we are starting to use this data to decipher customer sentiment and digest and categorize customer feedback."
Going a bit broader and deeper to yield new insights and tangible, measurable improvements is where the use of unstructured data is heading for utility analytics professionals. Alyssa Farrell, Global Energy Product Strategy Lead at SAS (Cary, NC), provides a few more examples of how utilities can benefit from analyzing unstructured data: "We see a variety of applications for unstructured data at utilities—some of which are in use today, others which are being used in other industries that can be applied to utilities."
Alyssa points out that areas with immediate value include using call center data to improve outage root cause analysis, or even the use of technician's notes from standard maintenance or emergency replacements of field assets to build predictive models of future asset failures. Reiterating the challenges noted above, Ms. Farrell points out that "...utilities have to turn to data storage mechanisms such as Hadoop that do not impose `structure on the data," and that tools built for analyzing the sentiment in text are called for to help capture the value in this new data.
Pointing to how critical unstructured data can be for customer service, Bryan Truex, Utility Industry Director at Teradata (Dayton, OH), notes that "...up to 80 percent of how customers communicate is unstructured. Utilities need to ask if they can afford to ignore up to 80 percent of their customer contact data."
Continuing with the customer management challenges and how utilities are using unstructured data to meet these challenges, Dan Burgess, an Analyst at Avista Utilities (Spokane, WA) adds an interesting perspective: "We have historically looked at our customer interactions in two dimensions, typically based on time and cost. These are helpful, and help us build some quantitative metrics, but this neglects the third dimension, that of the customer perspective." Dan also comments that this new type of customer data has added a qualitative element to their customer service metrics.
As utilities continue to drive forward in this new era of analytics-centric management, the ways that utilities are using all of this data—be it traditional, tabular data or the more complex unstructured data—continue to evolve. Social didn't even exist until a few short years ago, nor did interval meter data or deeper, broader availability of asset data via sensors deployed across the grid. As utilities learn to move from simply managing this data to leveraging it for predictive operations, the impact will be seen and felt across the enterprise and from the executive suite to the field crews.

Detection and blocking of security threats against organizations often is done through IP address-based methods and reputation services, but Juniper this week launched an effort to encourage security managers to abandon IP-based detection in favor of the "device fingerprinting" its security gear now supports to pinpoint devices used in online attacks. The idea is getting mixed reviews so far.
Juniper's device fingerprinting pinpoints attacks from specific devices and identifies them in a way that can be disseminated through its Junos Spotlight Secure global attacker database and shared among Juniper customers where this threat intelligence can be put to use in Juniper security products that guard web applications and other gateways.
Juniper customers Forbes and Revlon backed the approach in public statements made this week. "Current protections need to evolve beyond IP-based blocking to definitive attack prevention and we see Juniper's new products as a step in the right direction," said David Giambruno, senior vice president and CIO at Revlon.
[Background: Juniper security products use "device fingerprints" to way to detect, block attacks]
[NEWS: Stuxnet was attacking Iran's nuke program a year earlier than thought
The idea of pinpointing devices known to be used in attacks and automatically detecting and blocking them is so compelling, that Art Coviello, executive chair of RSA, the security division of EMC, alluded to the Juniper announcement during his keynote yesterday at the RSA Conference, saying RSA would be contacting Juniper to find out about possibly including this type of device fingerprinting in its own threat-intelligence feeds.
Device fingerprinting it's not an entirely new technology by any means appears to have appeal to security professionals though they have qualms about abandoning IP-based threat detection. And they wonder if Juniper's device fingerprinting technology might raise the same old issues about vendor lock-in.
When a panel of four chief information security officers (CISO) at the RSA Conference here this week was asked their reaction to the idea of abandoning IP-based detection in favor of what Juniper is proposing, their reaction was mixed.
Carter Lee, CSO at e-commerce company Overstock.com, said he was interested in the idea of device fingerprinting as an additional form of threat intelligence, but he was hesitant on the idea backed by Juniper that enterprises abandon IP-based detection altogether. He also expressed concern about whether device fingerprinting might be subject to vendor lock-in, as some technologies are. And he wondered about how resistant to malware attack such a device fingerprinting technology might be. "Would some malware figure out a way to defeat that?" Lee said.
Asked for its reaction to the Juniper announcement, Cisco also weighed in.
Cisco Vice President of Security Dave Frampton remarked the only way to make Juniper's device fingerprinting practical and effective would be to take feeds from multiple sources in order to have it scale on a global basis. Frampton also said Cisco disagreed with the notion that IP-based detection is somehow obsolete or ineffective, as Juniper appears to claim.
And he said Cisco does have its own kind of device fingerprinting but it's used to determine specifics about "the user device and the posture of that device, such as the application running on it, the server, the geo-location and IP address," and it's seen as part of monitoring devices on the move.
"We're not labeling something an attack device and publishing it out," said Frampton. He notes there could be possible drawbacks to labeling a device that way for the purposes of threat intelligence-sharing.

Mark 6:30-52 New International Version (NIV)
Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand
30 The apostles gathered around Jesus and reported to him all they had done and taught. 31 Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, he said to them, "Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest."
32 So they went away by themselves in a boat to a solitary place. 33 But many who saw them leaving recognized them and ran on foot from all the towns and got there ahead of them. 34 When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So he began teaching them many things.
35 By this time it was late in the day, so his disciples came to him. "This is a remote place," they said, "and it's already very late. 36 Send the people away so that they can go to the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat."
37 But he answered, "You give them something to eat."
They said to him, "That would take more than half a year's wages[a]! Are we to go and spend that much on bread and give it to them to eat?"
38 "How many loaves do you have?" he asked. "Go and see."
When they found out, they said, "Five—and two fish."
39 Then Jesus directed them to have all the people sit down in groups on the green grass. 40 So they sat down in groups of hundreds and fifties. 41 Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to his disciples to distribute to the people. He also divided the two fish among them all. 42 They all ate and were satisfied, 43 and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces of bread and fish. 44 The number of the men who had eaten was five thousand.
Jesus Walks on the Water
45 Immediately Jesus made his disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to Bethsaida, while he dismissed the crowd. 46 After leaving them, he went up on a mountainside to pray.
47 Later that night, the boat was in the middle of the lake, and he was alone on land. 48 He saw the disciples straining at the oars, because the wind was against them. Shortly before dawn he went out to them, walking on the lake. He was about to pass by them, 49 but when they saw him walking on the lake, they thought he was a ghost. They cried out, 50 because they all saw him and were terrified.
Immediately he spoke to them and said, "Take courage! It is I. Don't be afraid." 51 Then he climbed into the boat with them, and the wind died down. They were completely amazed, 52 for they had not understood about the loaves; their hearts were hardened.
