Megaupload Tells Court That DOJ Deliberately Misled Court In Getting Warrant
from the more-problems deptLawyers for Megaupload have filed a motion with the court handling the US side of the prosecution against the company, arguing that the original warrants were defective due to blatant misrepresentations by the government. As you may recall, in the case involving Kyle Goodwin, a Megaupload user who is trying to get his data back, he had to ask the court to unseal the warrant the DOJ used to seize Megaupload because the government had kept it secret. While the Justice Department went ballistic trying to prevent this unsealing, the judge allowed it to happen. And it didn't take long to figure out why the DOJ preferred to keep it private because among a bunch of problems, was the big one: a key bit of evidence that the DOJ used against Megaupload to prove that it had "knowledge" of illegal activity on its servers existed because the government -- via service provider Carpathia -- had explicitly told Megaupload to hold onto certain data since it was a part of a criminal investigation.
As Megaupload points out in this filing, it's particularly ridiculous that Megaupload was told to hold onto certain information as part of a criminal investigation -- to which it complied -- and then that very fact is being used against it, because it didn't delete the info. And, of course, the DOJ didn't explain the context in getting the warrant.
Megaupload is now arguing that the warrant and the seizure itself were defective and need to be overturned based on the fact that they were completely misleading on this bit evidence. In fact, the government specifically appears to have instructed Carpathia to tell Megaupload (1) to retain the files in question and (2) that Megaupload was not the subject of the investigation:
This Court recently ordered the unsealing of the documents previously submitted by the United States to support taking down the Megaupload cloud storage site by seizing the domain name(s) --- such unsealing lays bare a crucial omission the Government made to the Court in the secret process. Specifically, the Government's affidavits underpinning the warrants omitted critical, exculpatory information regarding whether, why and how Megaupload knew it was hosting criminally infringing files. The Government represented that, "[o]n or about June 24, 2010, members of the Mega Conspiracy were informed, pursuant to a criminal search warrant from the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, that thirty-nine infringing copies of copyrighted motion pictures were present on their leased servers at Carpathia Hosting, a hosting company headquartered in the Eastern District of Virginia," and that, "[a]s of November 18, 2011, thirty-six of the thirty-nine infringing copies of copyrighted motion pictures were still being stored on servers controlled by the Mega Conspiracy," after it was informed of the infringing content.... This snippet—which appears in each relevant affidavit and is the only direct, corroborated evidence the Government purports to offer as proof that Megaupload had requisite knowledge—suggests that Megaupload was warned of its potentially criminal complicity yet persisted in hosting the files without concern for their illegal content. The affidavits, in short, paint Megaupload as a brazen scofflaw.
The truth, as the Government well knows, is quite different. Megaupload had every reason to retain those files in good faith because the Government had sought and obtained Megaupload's cooperation in retrieving the files and warned that alerting users to the existence of the warrant and the Government's interest in the files could compromise the investigation. Carpathia informed Megaupload that the warrant was sealed, and that only Carpathia and Megaupload, not the users of the infringing files, were to know of its existence, and at the Government's request provided Megaupload a copy of the sealing order. The Government selectively parsed its account so as to exclude critical facts that negate any notion that Megaupload had criminal mens rea to retain the infringing files. The Government deliberately neglected to apprise the Court that:
- Megaupload received the June 24, 2010 warrant in the course of cooperating with a Government investigation;
- Megaupload was informed of the June 24, 2010 warrant by its vendor, Carpathia Hosting ("Carpathia"), with the Government's consent and for the express purpose of obtaining Megaupload's voluntary assistance with executing the warrant;
- The Government declined to communicate directly with Megaupload about the warrant, instead deputizing Carpathia to communicate on its behalf;
- Carpathia directed Megaupload not to open "EM7 tickets" on the infringing files—which would have alerted a larger number of people to the existence of the warrant and jeopardized the secrecy of the investigation—"[b]ecause of the Government's seal on the warrant," asking that Megaupload instead deal directly with a single person at Carpathia;
- Megaupload's preservation of the status quo, particularly by not taking down or otherwise disturbing the files identified in the June 24, 2010 warrant, was faithful to the Government's express desire, reflected by the Magistrate Judge's order sealing the warrant (provided to Megaupload by Carpathia at the Government's request) and by Carpathia's instructions on the Government's behalf, for Megaupload to ensure that evidence would remain preserved and that the target users would remain unaware of the investigation; and
- Consistent with its stated desire that the warrant and investigation remain confidential so as not to tip off the target users, the Government—neither directly nor through Carpathia—ever requested that Megaupload take down the files identified in the June 24, 2010 warrant.
Nowhere did the Government tell this Court that its June 24, 2010 warrant had been calculated to enlist good-faith cooperation with a criminal investigation, while preserving the secrecy thereof. Nowhere did the Government tell this Court that the Government had sought Megaupload's voluntary assistance in executing the warrant. Nowhere did the Government tell this Court that Carpathia had assured Megaupload, in the interests of its requested cooperation, that there was no basis to believe that Megaupload was a target. Nowhere did the Government tell this Court that Megaupload had in fact cooperated precisely as requested. Most importantly and most troublingly, nowhere did the Government tell this Court that Megaupload had been informed by Carpathia, acting on behalf of the Government and heeding the Government's insistence upon sealing, that the secrecy of the warrant and the Government's investigation must be preserved to avoid destruction of evidence and notification of the targeted users. Nor did the Government inform this Court that the sealing order it had obtained and furnished Carpathia to provide to Megaupload likewise required secrecy and expressly specified that [redacted ]. In sum, nowhere did the Government tell this Court that Megaupload had done exactly what the Government had asked it to do--execute a search warrant without alerting the ostensible targets to the existence of an investigation. The Government's contention to this Court that Megaupload's preservation of the status quo was evidence of criminal intent is false, and deliberately so.Attached is an exhibit in which Carpathia explicitly says it told the DOJ that Megaupload was happy to cooperate with the US government on such investigations.
Given its responses so far, I fully expect the government to go ballistic over this filing as well, but with each filing, their case looks weaker and weaker. As we've said in the past, it really does seem like DOJ agents were taken in by Hollywood's story about how Megaupload was pure evil and that was obvious to anyone -- and, as such, the DOJ could take various shortcuts in bringing the site and Kim Dotcom down. To be honest, what's still incredible to me about all of this is that, prior to the takedown, I probably would have agreed that Megaupload was likely a "bad player" in the space and that Dotcom had a reputation of thumbing his nose at the law. But as more and more details have become clear, it's looking more and more like the DOJ cut corners so badly that it's entire case may be at risk. If true, this will be a massive embarrassment for anyone at the DOJ associated with the case.

Kazmir Strikes a Blow to the Rangers
I got to the ballpark a little early today and was sitting at a small bench near the Team store when I had a upsetting story hit my screen.
Former Rays pitcher, Geremi Gonzalez had died from a lightning strike at the beach in his native Venezuela on Sunday. Gonzalez had only pitched for the Rays from 2003-2004, but had struck out 121 batters in that span and had a Rays record of 6-16 while appearing in 36 games. Mostly a starter for the team, he was in the bullpen in late 2004.
I want to send along my prayers to his family and friends in MLB. Geremi was a bit of a prankster on the team, but was well liked and respected by fans and players alike in the league. He will be truly missed by all.
Trivia Fact of the Night:
Of the 84 teams leading their divisions at Memorial Day, 46 went on to capture their division pennants at the end of the season. (The Rays are leading their division on this date).
The Good,The Bad,and The Ugly
The Good
There are a lot of great stories to be told tonight, but the best is the stellar pitching performance put in by number 19, Scott Kazmir( 4-1). Since he came off the DL, Scott has been a force to be reckoned with in the league. Tonight he pitched goose eggs until the top of the 5th inning.
How good was Kazmir tonight, he retired his first 7 of 9 batters with strikeouts, and finished with 10 strikeouts for the night. Scott pitched 7 innings of 3-hit, 1-run ball, and lowered his ERA to 1.50.
Honorable Mention "Good Guys":
*** Rays catcher Dioner Navarro would be leading the AL in average if he had more at bats this season. Navarro is currently hitting .369. The current AL leader is Twins' catcher Joe Mauer with a .338. Because his time on the DL cost him valuable at bats, Dioner might be the best hitter in the league by numbers, but not in the offical tallys.
Dioner hit a RBI double to deep center tonight to score Evan Longoria in the bottom of the 6th inning. Navarro legged it out to third on a throwing error.
** Carlos Pena is continuing to show that he is about to breakout again this season. In the bottom of the 3rd inning Carlos hit a long and high shot that lodged itself in the "B" ring over the turf. Such a shoit is proof that Pena is seeing the ball well and is warming up this year. He is currently hitting .238 after going 3-4 tonight and had another walk.
* As with the trend the last few nights, this would be the top guy, if the pitcher of record had not been amazing.
Eric Hinske knows that a decision is lurking on who might be going to make room for infielder Wily Aybar who is currently on the DL. Aybar is scheduled to come off the DL any day now, and a decison must be made on a roster cut. Hinske might have made Rays' manager Joe Maddon's mind a bit harder tonight with a 3-run shoit that sealed the vicotry for the Rays.
The homer was Hinske's 9th of the season, and in limited play, he now has 25 RBI's for the season. Hinske also went into the wall in the rightfield foulpole area hard tonight going after a foul ball.
The Bad
I am beginning to sound like a broken record on this, but I know it will spring back and bite this team soon. We left 29 guys on base tonight. Before the Rays broke this game open in the 5th inning, it was still either teams ballgame. Rangers' starter Sidney Ponson was not great, but he kept the score close until Eric Hinske hit his 3-run shot to right.
This team plays very aggressive baseball, which I do not have a single problem with, but this LOB situation will come back to haunt us on a night when we are in a pitcher's duel.
8 of those men were left in scoring position, a cardinal baseball sin.
The Ugly
I am a huge pro-Josh Hamilton fan. I am not going to hide it, and I am not going to sit there and hear boos' for a guy who did nothing wrong in this franchise's history.
He did not mouth off badly about the Rays, like a certain Baltimore guy. He did not leave alot of baggage at the clubhouse and front office doors like a guy in Washington. (By the way, the guy in Wash. is doing great iand is a model player right now).
Josh was a guy who made a mistake off the field. He did cost himnself a chance to be in this outfield years ago, but I respect the journey it took to get him back on the field. I also commend and think he is a prime example that even at the bottom of the well, you can see the light.
I read in a recent article that his Grandmother was the reckoning force to get him to the right path. Good for you Granny! At the time his grandmother saw him, Josh was a reported 185 pounds.
Now, if you look at him, you will know that he would have been mostly skin and bones at that weight. To get back to a normal life is amazing, to get back on the field and start for a team is inspiring and, to me, a godsend to sports fans everywhere. We might be seeing another true hero in the sports coming up later, better than never.
Do not "boo" this guy. He should be the guy you point to and tell your kids to remember his name. I was there the day he stepped back onto the Rays fields at the Minor League complex. I saw him in the locker room talking to Tim M., and I saw the look in his eyes that told me he was there for real this time.
I stood up and applauded when he first came to bat, and I was not the only one in the stadium to do that. I will do it again tommorrow, becuase I think he needs to see that we have not forgotten him, or want to forget what he could have been for the Rays.

At Grow Financial Federal Credit Union, Tampa, Fla., there's no understating the significance of employee feedback in creating an enviable work environment.
The $1.8 billion asset credit union entered the Tampa Bay Times' Top Workplaces competition in 2012 in large part because the newspaper bases its awards on an employee survey it facilitates. Individual responses are confidential, but companies receive an aggregate report.
Grow Financial placed 16th among mid-level employers—no small achievement in a metropolitan market—but president/CEO Bob Fisher noticed "a couple of things we felt we were really falling down on," the foremost being internal communication.
So Grow Financial hired a public relations professional from Tampa's Museum of Science & Industry to champion in-house and external messaging, and created an auditorium and video facility in an unfinished portion of its headquarters.
Now, Fisher records a monthly video for employees, often filming on location in exotic spots such as Raymond James Stadium, home of the NFL's Tampa Bay Buccaneers, or at a branch that's under construction to energize staff about the progress.
In this year's contest, Grow Financial moved up to the largest class of employers, with more than 500 staff members—and finished No. 1.
"We worked hard at addressing the comments people had, and beat all the big companies," Fisher beams.
Be an 'employer of choice'
At the credit union's long-range planning meeting last summer, Fisher took a cue from Google, Microsoft , Facebook, and other forward-looking companies.
He asked that Grow Financial Federal scrap the "legalese" in its mission statement, which was something "nobody could ever remember or repeat."
The credit union's new mantra: "Be Bold. Be Great. Have Fun."
Grow Financial Federal embodies "fun" by promoting staff activities, such as Take Your Kid to Work Day, featuring a visit by Radio Disney; outings to professional sporting events; and an annual diversity fest, where employees bring dishes inspired by their ancestry.
"Our idea was to become an employer of choice," Fisher says.
That commitment consists of more than just novel activities. Grow Financial Federal took its lumps during the recession but continued its commitment to employees with no layoffs, pay cuts, or salary freezes. The credit union also continued its merit increases—generally 2% to 3%—and its 8% match on 401(k) plans.
Longstanding perks include family leave plans, flexible work schedules, an onsite health club, and college tuition reimbursements.
"If we don't have happy employees," Fisher says, "they're not going to take good care of members."

The Mountaineering Council of Scotland and Police Scotland have issued a joined plea to outdoor enthusiasts to stay safe in the Scottish mountains over Easter.
As well as being mindful to conditions - with Easter coming early this year, there is still snow in the hills - they urge walkers and climbers to always leave word of where they are heading.
There are currently six people missing in Scotland's mountains. Tim Newton and Rachel Slater, who went missing on Ben Nevis in February, and earlier this month Jim Robertson from Glasgow went missing in the Cairngorms.
Still missing from last summer are three hill walkers lost in separate incidents in the Lochaber/Glencoe area: Tom Brown, Eric Cyl and Robin Garton.
The importance of always telling someone where you are going has been underlined by the sister of Tom Brown, who has told of the heartache and nightmare of financial and administrative difficulties that followed his disappearance.
Marjorie Ballantine said: "My experience – following the disappearance of my brother – demonstrates how irresponsible it is to set off alone without indicating to anyone where you are going – and the terrible implications for your family if you do unfortunately sustain a fatal accident and your body is never recovered.
"People like to be free to roam, but they generally have a good idea of one's objective for a day. When a person goes missing the relatives are faced with awful uncertainty and grief.
"There's also a legislative process of immense complexity to deal with. While the aftermath is bad enough, the next of kin are unable to administer the financial situation of their missing relative, due to legal issues, and they suffer financial hardship while lacking information about the actions they are able to take in relation to the missing person's property."
Voluntary mountain rescue team members, Police Scotland, RAF mountain rescue and Search and Rescue helicopters commit time and effort in searches for all the missing people, even after the chances of recovering them alive have gone.
The difficulties presented when someone goes missing was outlined by Police Scotland's area commander for the South Highland area, Chief Inspector Brian Mackay, said: "We do not want to discourage anyone from participating in the great outdoor experience but do advocate the benefits of taking the time to share your intentions with another in case things go wrong.
"We work closely with the volunteer mountain rescue teams in Scotland to provide a world-class service any time and in any weather. We have experienced a number of challenging searches for missing climbers in recent months, including for people who have left minimal or no information regarding their intentions.
"When walkers are reported overdue or missing, having left no information about their intended walking route, police and mountain rescue face the potential of having to widen the search to the entire mountain range, which poses a significant challenge.
"We know that not everyone will want to leave a written route card, but we are asking the hill-going public, and even those on lower level rambles, to make sure that somebody knows where they are going, so that we have a better idea where to look for them if they are overdue."
Heather Morning, mountain safety advisor with The Mountaineering Council of Scotland, added: "No one wants to feel as though they are controlled or restrained when they head into the hills; likewise none of us would imagine that it might be ourselves that gets into difficulty.
"However, whenever I go out alone – or with a group – I always let someone know which mountain/route I am heading for. It might be as simple as texting or emailing a friend with my intended plans, or giving someone a call. Losing a family member in the mountains is bad enough, but to not have any 'closure' with no body being found must be the worst possible scenario."
In addition, Heather advises anyone heading out into the mountains this Easter to check out the current mountain weather, and the avalanche and snow conditions at the Mountain Weather Information Service and {http://www.mwis.org.uk/|the Scottish Avalanche Information Service|Click here to visit the Scottish Avalanche Information Service).
"Scotland's mountains are a beautiful, awe-inspiring and challenging environment, and a day out in the mountains, whether on foot or ski, can be a truly magical experience," she said.
"But Easter is early this year and many of the higher Scottish mountains will still be holding snow. Don't let that magical experience turn into a nightmare for you and your family this Easter.
"Planning ahead and researching your route and conditions will help you decide what kit to take with you. For example, will your intended route cross snow patches? Are these likely to be hard snow? Perhaps your route takes you up a north facing corrie which will hold snow and likely remain firm while in the shade. If that is the case, then ice axe and crampons will definitely be required."

Meet the best power-pop band in America right now: Sugar Stems.
A year and a half ago, the Milwaukee quartet knocked it out of the park on "Can't Wait," its excellent second album.
Since then, Sugar Stems have emphasized the power side of power-pop, beefing up their sound, turning up the guitars and adding keyboard player Andy Harris for "Only Come Out at Night."
The results captivate from start to finish.
Lead vocalist and chief songwriter Betsy Heibler continues to write smart, tuneful songs and sing them with passion. She also sings them with impressive forcefulness here, her voice rising above the often glorious roar created by her bandmates.
The selections range from wall-of-sound stormers such as "Baby Teeth" and the ultra-catchy "Radio Heartthrob" to the 1960s girl-group update "Some Might Say," which eerily resembles some long-lost Brill Building Goffin-King classic.
The band's ensemble guitar work repeatedly takes center stage here, most notably on the ringing, robust "We Only Come Out at Night." It's the album's best and most exciting track.
Then there's the harmony-laden "Sun Rise, Sea Change," which sets its wondrous chorus amid a bed of jangling guitars.
Heibler steps to the forefront on the closer, "Million Miles," her echo-bathed vocals accompanied chiefly by strummed acoustic guitars and Harris' keyboards. Her powerful performance brings both warmth and a sense of mystery to this minor-chord ballad. It's a stunner, as is the whole album.
Sugar Stems will appear at a free show at the Mission Tobacco Lounge, a block away from the Mission Inn in Riverside, on Tuesday and at a regular ticketed show at the Redwood Bar in Downtown Los Angeles on Wednesday.

Many Pacific Islands are experiencing increasing pressures on water resources due to growing populations, infrastructure development, and climatic fluctuations. IUCN, member and partner organisations are strengthening forces to support Integrated Water Resource Management in the Oceania region.
Through 4 demonstration projects, IUCN's Water and Nature Initiative (WANI) focuses on good governance, payments for ecosystem services, and learning and leadership, with the aim to improve the quality and sustainability of water resources in the region.
From 15 to 19 February IUCN held an inception workshop for the second phase of the Water and Nature Initiative, to build upon achievements and progress from WANI-1. The initiative started in the Pacific in 2008 with the establishment and initial development of WANI projects in Kadavu and the Nadi Basin in Fiji, and the Togitogiga Watershed in Samoa. Complementing the 3 WANI projects, is the Pacific Learning and Leadership project in collaboration with SOPAC (Secretariat for the Pacific Islands Applied Geoscience Commission) Regional Pacific IWRM projects. "The WANI inception workshop was very successful in setting clear objectives with partners, sharing lessons learnt, and defining the project action plans for the next 18 months", said Dr Milika Sobey, IUCN Water Programme Coordinator for Oceania.
IUCN aims to support the management of Fiji's water resources and watershed ecosystem services, currently in decline due to land use changes, altered river flow patterns and degraded ecosystem services. These problems are compounded by the effects of climate change through altered rainfall regimes. Water management in Fiji, including tourism and forestry projects, has generally followed a "top-down" approach. WANI's Kadavu and Nadi watershed projects aim to demonstrate a watershed management model based upon participatory community approaches, sound economic valuation and ecosystem management benefitting biodiversity and the livelihoods that depend on them.
For the Nadi project, WANI helped establish the Nadi Basin Catchment Committee to provide appropriate stakeholder engagement in the development of a Flood Risk Management Plan and complements the Regional GEF Pacific IWRM's Nadi Catchment Project. Through these river catchment committees all stakeholders can be represented in the decision-making processes, strengthening the resilience of their watersheds and its services. In Kadavu, three Locally Managed Marine Area Networks (LMMA) sites provided the location for work to begin on up-scaling of the participatory model to include ridge-to-reef management. This bottom-up model will provide a cost-effective and integrated sustainable water resource management approach that will be transferable to other sites in Fiji, and elsewhere in the Pacific.
The Togitogiga Catchment is WANI's selected demonstration project in Samoa. Located on the eastern Upolu island, Tongitogiga is the main source of water supply for downstream communities and has a unique biodiversity. It is also well known for recreational purposes as part of the "Togitogiga National Park". With an increasing population and development pressures, this catchment area has become significantly degraded due to soil erosion, sedimentation, and water pollution. Over the past few years, reports that the river has run dry spurred MNRE (Ministry for Natural Resources and Environment) to find cooperation with IUCN's Water Programme to identify possible causes, and find solutions to improve the health of the Togitogiga watershed. The project also aims to develop and implement a watershed management plan using the 2008 legislative framework of the Samoan Water Resources Management Act. The plan will create a balance between anthropogenic demands on the catchment and biodiversity conservation.
Experiences and lessons learnt from Nadi, Kadavu and Samoa will influence WANI's 4th project in the region, the Pacific Learning and Leadership Programme. This project aims to address the shortfall in awareness and knowledge within Pacific Island countries, advocate the WANI principles and support SOPAC's Regional Pacific IWRM projects. Currently watershed management is often implemented with the purpose of providing water supply or to reduce the risk of floods, without adequate inter-sectoral engagement or legislative frameworks. The WANI principles; good governance, biodiversity conservation, sound economic analysis and livelihood security, need to be considered and included. The WANI toolkits will provide the basis for the WANI-2 Learning and Leadership programme in Oceania.
IUCN's Water and Nature Initiative in Oceania works in partnership with the University of the South Pacific (USP), Samoa Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MNRE), Fiji Land and Water Resources Ministry (LWRM), and the Secretariat for the Pacific Islands Applied Geoscience Commission (SOPAC).

I haven't been doing this for very long. I don't know all the players in the scene. I don't yet know all the venues or the history or the nuances of Philadelphia comedy—sketch, improv, stand-up, or otherwise. But I'm learning. One of the things I've noticed thus far is just how friendly and supportive it can be. Everyone seems to have a lot of faith in each other and want general success for the entire scene. This is what I was thinking about as Tara Demmy, experienced improvisor and lead actress in a new play by Nile Arena and Harry Watermeier Call On Mister Blue, generously stood with me after the play ended and briefed me on all the comedy credits and history of the cast in preparation for my interview with them.
Meanwhile, SHANNON HOUSE hasn't been doing this for very long. In fact, as I was to learn, this is the company's first production. SHANNON HOUSE is a collection of comedians, actors, directors and general theater-y type folks in its infancy. The thing that struck me most about SHANNON HOUSE is how they seemed to have that same faith in and enthusiasm for the Philadelphia comedy scene that I had observed elsewhere. The play itself was an example of faith rewarded, for the cast (Tara Demmy, Luke Field, Bryan Kerr, Brent Knobloch, and Craig Lamm) all delivered wonderfully.
Call On Mister Blue was set in apparently-modern Indianapolis, narrated charmingly and, at times, hilariously by a characterization of Southern Renaissance writer William Faulkner for reasons which aren't immediately (or, arguably, are only intermediately) apparent. It focuses on the evolving lives and relationship of a young couple and how their lives and relationship interact. Additionally, how these things interact with the transforming sense of self and life goals that come with early adulthood. The themes run much deeper and the dialogue is rich, being both realistic and clever simultaneously. An entertaining play from start to finish, it was very thoughtful and sincere, with moments of sadness as well as some serious laughs.
After the show, the members of the cast who were available and director Harry Watermeier sat down and let me ask them a few questions.
Matt Aukamp: So how did you all get involved in this production?
Bryan Kerr: I did the Arden Professional Apprenticeship at the Arden Theater Company in Old City. Harry, Tara, and I were in the same year two years ago and so we got to know each other. Harry first asked me about nine months ago if I wanted to direct this, and I never responded to his email. I read the play and was like, "I don't know what's going on," and then just didn't respond and didn't respond and didn't respond... And then Harry moved to Philadelphia and so I couldn't avoid him anymore. He said, "I know you're busy, Bryan, so maybe you can just be in it and be William Faulkner." So I said "sure" because I knew Harry and Tara and I support them.
Craig Lamm: I got involved because my girlfriend is now in the same apprentice program with the playwright [Nile Arena.] So I met them through my girlfriend and we got to talking about the show and they asked if I wanted to do it so I joined the team.
Tara Demmy: No auditions, just, "Hey, do you wanna be in this thing?"
MA: And Harry, you directed the show; how did you come across it?
Harry Watermeier: So Nile Arena wrote the show. We're both from Indiana—we went to Indiana University—so we've known each other for awhile. He was living in Chicago and he was kind of looking for his next thing to do. I completed the Arden apprenticeship and I [told him about it]. He applied, and he got the apprenticeship and he moved out to Philly. I knew he was a playwright, and I knew he was working on something. I had come back to Philly from Indiana to sort of capitalize on some of the weight that the APA program carries, so I was looking to get into something and I liked the script a lot. I was hoping to act in it at first. I was hoping to play Russell, the male lead. That was the idea but then I thought it was probably best for me—in order to get it on its feet— to direct it. And I offered it to Bryan and I'm so glad he acted in it. I thought Bryan was fantastic.
MA: Had you directed before?
HW: No, not really. I mean, I directed some scenes in school. This is my first full-length thing that I've directed.
MA: So, I get the connection to Arden, but there's a lot of Philadelphia sketch and improv people in the play. How did they come in?
HW: Well, Tara does a lot of improv. You know Tara is a FIXTURE of the improv community, I would say...
TD: Oh, shut up!
HW: And because of that, most people [in Philly comedy] just know me as "Tara's Boyfriend," which is WONDERFUL, and she knew Lizzie [Spellman, who opened the show] and I was lucky enough to do a show with [sketch group] The Flat Earth for the Fringe Festival, so that's how I met Brent [Knobloch] and Luke [Field], and I knew how great they were.
MA: And were you worried at all about, coming from improv and sketch comedy, that the acting would be any different? That it might be a challenge for people stepping into dramatic theater?
HW: I wasn't worried. That actually made me more confident in their abilities. You know, I hate auditioning, as an actor.
MA: That seems to be what you hear from every actor all the time.
HW: I just wish I could talk to the director and say "Look, I can do it, I promise I can do it." So you know, I didn't audition them. Luke and Brent, they're both razor sharp. Everyone involved in the show is, and I was so confident in their abilities. You know, someone coming from a comedy background and an improv background, they're very generous to their audience in ways that often dramatic or classically-trained actors are not. Improvisers are super aware of the audience and what the audience needs and how to play certain beats for the audience. That, I hoped—and I think did—bring the play into brighter lights. They really knocked it out of the park and they exceeded all my expectations.
MA: So do you have any other future productions planned with this group of people?
HW: I'd like to do more. I mean, we're working on just a small thing. Nile and I are writing something...
CL: Name-drop the title. It's great!
HW: Grime and Punishment. It's an adaptation of Crime and Punishment. But I feel like I got really lucky with this cast. Just really really talented people. So I would jump at the chance to work with them again.
TD: We're starting a thing called SHANNON HOUSE. That's sort of the company. But I'd really like that name to still be on whatever Nile does, Harry does, Bryan does, Craig does...
MA: Was SHANNON HOUSE put together to be the production company for this?
HW: [Yes, and] the idea was that Shannon House would be the name of the sort of collective thing that we're trying to work on. And we wanted Call on Mister Blue to be sort of a soft open for us.
TD: Before we're on Broadway!
HW: Just something we could put together quickly and put up and just sort of get us started. So hopefully the next project we'll take a little more time with.
TD: Goosebumps!
[Then everyone started sighing and clapping their hands together and saying "goosebumps." I have no idea why it was happening. I started to worry I'd stumbled into a murder cult.]
TD: I want to direct an adaptation of Goosebumps. But it will probably be with mostly improvisers. I really think improvisers make really great actors. And especially if they don't have a theater background, just improv and comedy. I'd like to create a show that's improvised, and then put to script. And it's about Goosebumps! I don't know where that's going to go. But hopefully [it will debut] in the spring.
HW: Yeah, hopefully in the Spring. I don't know how copyright laws work?
TD: It's satire! You can do whatever you want!
If you're a comedian interested in being part of SHANNON HOUSE's next production, contact Tara Demmy at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Allison Scott ripped one of two Harvard home runs on the day against Dartmouth (Harvard Athletic Communications).
HANOVER, N.H. – The Harvard softball team wrapped up its regular season slate Sunday, splitting a doubleheader with Dartmouth, 4-0 and 9-3, Sunday at Dartmouth Softball Park. The Crimson finishes the regular season with an overall record of 31-13 and an Ivy-best conference mark of 17-3, while Dartmouth finishes at 14-25 with a 7-13 conference record.
Rachel Brown was masterful in her final regular-season start, surrendering just one hit, a double in the bottom of the first, and striking out 12 Dartmouth batters in the complete-game effort. Kasey Lange gave her all the run support she would need in the top of the first as the sophomore launched a solo homerun to give the Crimson a quick 1-0 lead. The score stayed that way until the top of the fifth where Allison Scott followed suit, leading off the inning with a solo blast to give Harvard a 2-0 lead after five.
An RBI groundout by Shelbi Olson in the sixth brought Andrea Del Conte home with Harvard's third run and a Marika Zumbro RBI single in the seventh inning capped the scoring in Game 1. Scott finished the game as the only hitter to record multiple hits, going 2 for 3 from the plate. Brown collected her 18th win of the season with the victory.
A bases-loaded walk in the second inning of Game 2 put Dartmouth out in front, 1-0, and a five-hit, six-run third frame gave the hosts a commanding 7-0 lead after three full innings. Harvard responded in the top of the fourth, bringing home three runs of its own. Katherine Lantz knocked in Harvard first run of the game with an RBI groundout and Katherine Appelbe came across on a passed ball two batters later. Jessica Ferri's single through the middle brought home Adrienne Hume for Harvard's third run of the inning. The hosts tacked on two more runs in the bottom of the sixth and the Crimson was unable to respond in the 9-3 defeat.
Gabrielle Ruiz shouldered the loss for Harvard in the circle, scattering four hits and allowing three earned runs in 2.2 innings of work. Zumbro was effective in relief, fanning a pair of Dartmouth batters and surrendering two runs in 3.1 innings pitched.
Harvard's next action will be in the Ivy League Championship Series, but its opponent has yet to be decided. Penn and Cornell finished in a tie for first in the Ivy League South Division standings and will meet in a one game playoff to determine who will advance to the Ivy Championship Series. The playoff game will take place this weekend in Philadelphia, with the Ivy Championship Series to be played May 11-12 at Soldiers Field.

Rated 5 out of 5 by SanDiegoCooks from Great Knife! I first bought this knife for my niece who wrote me to say how incredibly sharp it is and what a pleasure it is to use. I chose to buy her a Wusthof because that company has long been my favorite knife maker. Their knives are consistently sharp, well balanced and easy to maintain. Having been cooking for a long time and already owning enough knives to outfit a pirate ship, I probably didn't need another knive myself, but influenced by my niece's pleasure with the Nakiri, I bought one for our kitchen too. It has now become a "go to" knife in this house. It cuts as easily and well as an expensive Japanese knife that I have, but it feels so much less fragile than that knife. It glides through vegetables and feels secure in the hand. I prefer it over my Wusthof Santoku because the squared edge tip is surprisingly maneuverable to make a quick trim as you go about slicing. Enough said, it's a great tool!Date published: 2016-08-17Rated 5 out of 5 by momba from Love this knife I love this knife. It is perfect for cutting vegetables, meat, or anything you want to cut or chop. I am very happy I purchased this knife it is an asset to any kitchen.Date published: 2016-03-18Rated 5 out of 5 by ChristiSC from My other "go to" knife This knife is excellent: well-balanced and perfect for dicing/slicing. It is a toss-up between my Wusthof 6" Chef's Knife or the Wusthof Classic Nakiri Knife. Love them both. I particularly like the Nakiri for slicing/chopping celery, carrots and other dense vegetables. Excellent addition to your knife drawer.Date published: 2016-01-31Rated 5 out of 5 by Lexxx from Favorite Everyday Knife I received this knife as a gift a few months ago. I use it almost every day, to chop a ridiculous amount of produce that ranges in size and starch. As someone that eats a mostly vegetarian diet, I've gotten many hours of use out this knife. I use it on peppers, tomatoes, garlic, shallots, scallions, red onions, ginger, mushrooms, avocados, zucchini, potatoes and other root vegetables, and a variety of fruit. It's been a pleasure to use, and chops through nearly anything with ease. I also have the Shun Fuji Santoku and Chef knives, but this one sees the most use, as the price isn't nearly as intimidating to an amateur cook. I would definitely purchase again.Date published: 2015-06-19Rated 5 out of 5 by kittyb from Useful everyday knife! I added this knife to my new collection of knives! So glad I did. I use it every day. I saw it on a Food Network show "Pioneer Woman" & was curious. I have a Santuko knife that has a pointed edge whereas this Nakiri knife has a straight edge which I feel gives you better handling/control.Date published: 2014-11-27Rated 5 out of 5 by LMorales from Perfect cut High quality and super sharp knife. Ideal for thin and perfect slices, I love how easily cuts mushrooms and other vegetables. I will surely recommend it to others.Date published: 2014-10-25Rated 5 out of 5 by Shell57 from New favorite toy I have been eyeing this knife for about 6 months. I've only had it a day and it is already going to be my favorite knife. It is absolutely perfect for chopping, dicing and prepping vegetables and fruits. It has the most perfect sharp edge for thin slices and small dice. Well worth the money I paid for it. The sales clerk also gave me helpful hints for sharpening the blade after using.Date published: 2014-07-12Rated 5 out of 5 by Susiegal from Love it; use it for cutting many things! Received this 7" as Christmas gift and it is everything & more that I like. Like its length when I am cutting/chopping vegetables & fruits; allows me to put pressure on the entire knife length to cut through items. Have RA so it is such a wonderful addition to my knife block. Have not used my chef knife since I received this. It cuts directly down and slices at an angle with equal ease. Used it to mince an onion and it gave me the finest of mince without turning the onion into a paste! Highly recommend.Date published: 2014-01-12

I was little but a small child when Marathon 2: Durandal was new, and it would be a few years yet before I'd have my first computer, an ancient Commodore 64. Our third-world budget didn't really facilitate a Mac habit.
My first real taste was while singing in the chorus of a high school production of The Wizard Of Oz. I was desperately trying to think of something other than the tripe I was being asked to sing from our box seat/teacher's lounge overlooking the auditorium/lunch room, when I saw another chorister playing a familiar-looking game on his laptop.
He didn't get the blessed thing back until the performance was over. I was ravenous.
So here I am, a decade.5 later, trying my hand at making a few maps. I'm working on the geometry and textures of my own little Hello World (10 print "hello world", 20 end); later I'll probably test my skills by building 5-D Space in Marathon Infinity style. That's not for a while yet, though.
Anyway, I'm probably a couple years from anything grandiose or extremely ambitious, but I'll be studying good maps and bad, learning what to do and, more than a few times, what never to do again.
Glamdring out. See you starside.

The value of Iowa farmland rose 9.4% from September to March, according to a survey of land professionals conducted by the Iowa Chapter of the REALTORS Land Institute. Combining that 9.4% gain with the 7.7% increase from March to September found in the September survey yields an increase of 17.1% for the year-long period ending March 1.
All nine Iowa crop reporting district showed an increase. The districts varied from a 6.7% rise in west central Iowa to a 12.6% increase in northeast Iowa for the September to March period.
The survey pegs the statewide value of an acre of high-quality cropland at $11,515 an acre; the average value of an acre of medium-quality cropland at $8,693 an acre; the average value of an acre of low-quality cropland at $5,864 an acre. The northwest crop reporting district reports an average value of $13,387 an acre for high-quality cropland, the highest average in the state. The south-central district reports the lowest average price for high-quality cropland at $8,480 an acre. Of the nine state crop reporting districts, the south central is the only district with a sub-$10,000-an-acre average for high-quality cropland.

The question of whether cell phone usage may increase the risk of getting brain cancer remains unanswered, but a new study is adding another dimension to the debate. The Journal of the American Medical Association published new research on Wednesday that shows a link between glucose metabolism in the human brain and cell phone exposure. Although the study didn't look at brain cancer incidence specifically, the findings suggest to me that brain function appears to change with wireless phone usage, and that the possible health implications warrant more investigation.
The study was the first to look at if and how cell phone use may affect brain glucose metabolism in human subjects. (Brain glucose metabolism is an indicator of the brain's level of activity.) In the study, 47 participants were outfitted with cell phones on both ears. Their brain glucose metabolism was measured twice, once with the right cell phone turned on and active (but with sound muted), and once with both phones completely turned off. Researchers found that when the right cell phone was on and active for 50 minutes, participants' metabolic rate in the brain regions closest to the antenna increased, compared with no cell phone exposure.
Because there is no definitive link between an increased rate of glucose metabolism and cancer likelihood, this latest research does not prove that cell phones are associated with a higher risk for brain cancer. And although unregulated blood glucose metabolism can lead to health conditions such as diabetes, we don't know the health implications of increased brain glucose metabolism. This study adds to the concern about possible long-term health effects caused by absorbing radio frequency radiation from wireless devices. The suggestion that the increase in brain activity seems to correlate to where the device is placed against the head – and hence, where the radiation energy is focused – is also of concern and needs to be more fully researched.
Until the full health impact of wireless phone usage is known, I believe it is wise to err on the side of caution and keep such devices away from the head if possible. I use either my phone's speaker function or a wired headset when making calls on my cell phone, and recommend others to do the same. A wired or corded headset is better than a wireless one because a wireless earpiece still emits some radio frequency waves, although much less than a cell phone.
For more of my thoughts on the potential connection between brain tumor risk and cell phones, read "Study Fails to Answer Questions About Cell Phones and Cancer Risk" and "Brain Tumor Risk and Cell Phones."
Mind your health,

These antibiotics are often given to animals that aren't even sick, and are given without a duration limit. This overuse breeds antibiotic-resistant superbugs that infect millions of people with illnesses that today's medicines can't cure.

South Tyneside's dominatrix, Irene Lucas has cause to celebrate today after husband John Hays picked up a top travel award on behalf of his company Hays Travel. CLICK HERE.
Mr Hays who doubles as Quinny's side kick at the Stadium of Shite (some daft twat has to be vice chairman), seems to be following in his wife's footsteps when it comes to giving yourself a pat on the back and picking up worthless awards.
I bet the pillow talk in Irene and John's boudoir must have been fucking interesting this week – imagine "my gong is bigger than your gong".
Mr Monkey reckons it was only a matter of time before John got his own back on Irene after she picked up that meaningless piece of glass in London for being the Best Council of The Year.
Remember all the hype shite that followed an award that was given by a fucking magazine of all things?
Sorry Irene and John but your joy is about to come to an abrupt end and you know why – yes you and all your Mackem trash are gonna get fucked by the Toon tomorrow.

Does anyone know who Marcy the Monkey is? Well if you are viewing this tutorial you do now! She is another addition to the Skelanimal family and she is also one of the cutest as well. She is a floppy monkey that loves hanging out in the trees as she swings and sways all day long. Even though she has so much fun playing in the tree all day, she would much rather have an even better time if she had a person to love. Just by looking at Marcy it's kind of hard to imagine how such an amazing little primate could die and become a bony lifeless being. I do have the scoop to that though and it here's how it goes; Marcy would swing and hang, each morning out of bed she sprang. Her tail was sleek and strong, she hung for hours long. She bragged about the strength of her tail, if all the monkeys pulled, it would stick like a nail. The challenge was met the very next morning, only the tail was left, the monkeys now mourning. Awe, how sad was that story huh? Anyway I think you will enjoy this tutorial that is going to show you "how to draw Marcy", step by step. She is one Skelanimal that you will love drawing because she is truly an amazing monkey. I hope you have fun, and remember to rate, comment, and submit your drawings and tutorials for others to see.

I think I have said all I could about wolves and the species. Drawing these forest animals is always fun, but the more I draw a repeated animal, dragon, person, or character, the more I run out of things to talk about. I just wanted to do a sketch on "how to draw a realistic wolf, step by step" that was easy, colorful, and fun. Sketching animals is almost always complicated because of the contours in their faces, bodies, and even their fur. I wanted this drawing to be very simple for everybody to tackle, and because of that, I drew the side view of a wolf's head. There are many different species of wolves that are in existence, so choosing the kind you want to sketch out can be a bit frustrating. My advice, choose a wolf that is less fluffy then others, and even a bit more thicker. The coloring that I did for the wolf came out looking pretty sweet too. I think it should be easy for you guys to use colored pencils, oil paint, and even a good set of quality markers to shade in your animal with. In the end you will get results that you should be pleased with. Try out this lesson, and you will see just how easy it is to learn "how to draw a realistic wolf, step by step". Today is Saturday, so maybe you can stick around a bit longer to see what else I upload before the night is done. Peace out, and happy drawing!

Let $M$ denote a finite von Neumann algebra with trace $\tau$, and $L^{2}(M)$ denote the standard (trivial) M-M correspondence (binormal bimodule). The coarse correspondence is $L^{2}(M) \overline{\otimes} L^{2}(M)$ with commuting left and right actions of $M$ given by $x(\xi \otimes \eta)y=(x \xi) \otimes (\eta y)$ for any $x,y \in M$, where $x \xi$ and $\eta y$ refer, of course, to the standard left and right actions on $L^{2}(M)$.
Intuitively, this bimodule is regarded as "coarse" since there is no "connection" between the two copies of $L^{2}(M)$ making it up. If this is the case, what if we consider $L^{2}(M) \overline{\otimes} L^{2}(M) \overline{\otimes} L^{2}(M)$ with elements of $M$ acting only on the left on the left copy and the right on the right copy of $L^{2}(M)$? There still should be no "connection".
Question: As correspondences, is $L^{2}(M) \overline{\otimes} L^{2}(M) \overline{\otimes} L^{2}(M)$ always isomorphic to the coarse correspondence $L^{2}(M) \overline{\otimes} L^{2}(M)$? If so, what is an isomorphism?
As far as I can see, the former is isomorphic to a direct sum of the latter. The intuition suggests that more may be true. (I imagine an answer to this question can be seen by viewing the bimodules as morphisms of M into amplifications of M, but I haven't worked it out.)
EDIT/ADDENDUM: Since this is already pretty silly, why not make it sillier? Is it possible for $M$ to be nonamenable and yet have $L^{2}(M)$ weakly contained in $L^{2}(M) \overline{\otimes} L^{2}(M) \overline{\otimes} L^{2}(M)$?

The CPCM, CFCM, and CCCM are certifications awarded to candidates who meet rigorous standards, including experience, education, training, and knowledge. They are professional designations of distinction, and carry the respect of their peers in the profession. The NCMA professional certification program is designed to elevate professional standards, enhance individual performance, and distinguish those who demonstrate knowledge essential to the practice of contract management. Click here to view the PDF version of NCMA's certification program brochure.
The CPCM exam is based on the competencies found in the Contract Management Body of Knowledge (CMBOK). The CFCM and CCCM exams are based on knowledge of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), respectively. All exams are designed to be legally defensible and psychometrically sound.
The ICCM–D and ICCM–F are certifications awarded by NCMA based on meeting the same prerequisites and completing all the same courses required for the DAWIA or FAC-C certifications in contracting. These two certifications afford industry contracting professionals the opportunity to be certified at levels I, II, and III in the same manner as their public sector counterparts.

The UK Government's benefits reforms will "backfire" in Wales with serious consequences for the country's most vulnerable people, Wales' newest MP has warned.
Labour Cardiff South & Penarth by-election winner Stephen Doughty secured a Westminster Hall debate to raise concerns about the flagship plans to simply the benefits system and boost incentives to work.
He said: "[We] estimate that a staggering 140,000 people across Wales might lose £1,600 a year."
Stating that he was "deeply fearful" about the consequences, he said: "First, 800,000 more people across the UK face lower entitlements. The original assessment, which was published in 2011, said that two million people would face lower entitlements under universal credit, but that number has now risen to 2.8 million, with an average loss of entitlement of £137 a month...
"Of those losers, 400,000 will be concentrated in the two lowest income groups. We expect 600,000 more parents to lose out under universal credit.
"Households will also lose more: the original impact assessment said that only 200,000 families would lose more than £75 a month, but the latest one states that 1.3 million households will lose more than £100 a month and that an incredible 300,000 families will lose more than £300 a month, which amounts to £3,600 a year."
Arguing that the UK Government's goal of ensuring that "work pays" would not be delivered by the plans, he said: "I am afraid to say that the widespread consensus is now that it might be fine in theory, but that it will seriously backfire in practice, with serious consequences for some of my most vulnerable constituents and those of my honourable friends throughout Wales."
However, Conservative Work & Pensions minister Mark Hoban said that while Mr Doughty had raised some "important issues" he urged "caution".
He said: "It is easy to create uncertainty among constituents by mentioning such stories in a way that is not balanced and does not reflect the support that will be in place."
Defending the changes, he said: "In Wales, we estimate that once universal credit is fully up and running some 200,000 households will be eligible for higher payments under it, typically seeing an increase of almost £160 per month, and we also estimate that the proportion of people in Wales who would stand to lose more than 70% of their increased earnings by moving into work for 10 hours a week will reduce under universal credit from 32%—as it is under the system we have inherited from the previous Government – to 3%. That is why delivering this reform is important for the people of Wales.
"It will make people better off in work, it will make work pay and it will reduce the risks involved in taking up work or doing more work."
Insisting that the reforms would be good for Wales, he said: "The system is here to ensure that people understand that it is better to work than not to work, and better to earn more than to earn less. There will not be the situation that many people are in now, of having to turn down bonuses from their employers because it does not work with the benefit system.
"We need to tackle some of the problems of the past, to give our people hope for the future."

Anti-doping Expert to Review ORICA-GreenEDGE Cycling PoliciesThu 1 Nov 2012
Australia's only professional road cycling team Orica-GreenEDGE (OGE) today announced a range of initiatives to reaffirm its hard-line stance against doping, including a full external expert review of its policies and procedures and a pro-active review of all riders and team members in light of recent disclosures regarding past practices in the sport.
Separately, OGE today announced that team sport director Matt White would be leaving OGE, effective immediately.
"Orica-GreenEDGE is a clean team and our commitment to being clean has been a foundation principle of the team since the day of its inception," team owner Gerry Ryan said.
"To maintain public confidence in our strict adherence to this principle OGE has appointed an eminent and independent external expert to audit the rigour and effectiveness of the team's anti-doping policies and procedures."
The team has appointed Nicki Vance to lead this review. Vance established the testing and international programs for the Australian Sports Drug Agency (ASDA) , headed up the Anti-Doping Program for the Sydney Organising Committee for the Olympic Games and was a start up Director for the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). She has been an independent anti-doping consultant since 2002.
The objectives of the Vance Review are specific and straightforward:
1. Confirm that Orica-GreenEDGE's anti-doping policies, protocols and recruitment procedures are world's best practice and are being implemented without exception; and
2. Recommend and oversee the implementation of any necessary enhancements.
All riders and team members recruited to OGE at its inception were accepted after approval from the UCI. The team accepts that recent events may have diminished public confidence in this process.
OGE owner Gerry Ryan said: "Professional cycling is at a cross roads. The future of the sport is being determined by what we do today. OGE will not step back from taking any necessary decision to protect the integrity of the sport and the team and to restore the confidence of cycling fans around the world."
"It's time to put our values to work," Ryan said. "OGE believes a hard-line approach is an essential pre-requisite to continue in the sport with credibility."
In order to send the clearest possible signal of OGE's commitment to a clean team, OGE is proactively reviewing all riders and team members. This is being undertaken in consultation with all relevant agencies and will take into account any new evidence.
Separately to this process, OGE has been awaiting the outcome of the ASADA process into Matthew White's involvement in doping in the US Postal team.
OGE had indicated that it would await the outcomes of this process before determining its next steps. However, following discussions with Matt it has been determined that he will leave OGE effective immediately.
OGE, General Manager Shayne Bannan said the team would continue to have a strong voice in the AIGCP (the professional team's association) in order to seek unity and a common path on these crucial issues.
"Cycling must take the opportunity now to make the right decisions for the future of the sport as a whole. We want to contribute to this process and we want to involve both the teams and the UCI. The teams will meet with the UCI in the beginning of the December and we are fully committed to participate actively in real and long-term solutions for the sport. We're a new team in the sport and it's important to us to show initiative for something so fundamental for cycling", Bannan said.
Naming rights sponsor Orica supported the initiatives announced today.
"We support the initiatives being taken by team management to ensure that it is clear Orica-GreenEDGE rejects doping in the past, today and in the future. The sport of professional cycling is going through a crucial period and we support the proactive and hard-line stance being taken against doping", said Gavin Jackman, Global Head of Corporate Affairs and Social Responsibility.
