About Deirdre
Actually the Kaley forfeiture decision bothers me more than this one.
Totally without context I think young potatoes. Maybe they could become the Washington Small Potatoes.
A lawyer can sometimes get out of hot water by voluntarily surrendering his/her license to practice law. A bit later (usually after getting out of rehab) she/he can petition to be reinstated. Its usually granted if the lawyer sounds contrite enough.
Oh Yeah! You got my vote for Funny.
All of the events in this case were spread across different courts in different parts of the country. It wasn't until defendants started to get a look at the big picture-- thank you to those who made the facts available-- that any single judge would have known what was going on. Even so it is necessary to come up with a legal theory that would allow the evidence of misbehavior to be introduced. (I'm not saying it doesn't exist, I just haven't given it much thought. A party can't just introduce evidence willy-nilly, it has to be allowed by the Rules of Evidence in the Court where the case is being heard.)
I always thought it rather creepy that a certain small town in Ohio I passed through put up road signs bragging about their participation in a child fingerprinting program. It was done to-- I don't know why it was done. Maybe to tell Mr. Stranger Danger to go down the road and leave these children to the family, friends and neighbors who are most likely to abuse children.
I'm not a one issue voter and the GOP in this paper are not addressing anything that swayed my vote this fall.
Darn, I voted early and have been tossing campaign flyers without looking at them. Saturday I had so many in my post office box that I couldn't get my mail out of the box without ripping some. Now I'll never know if my neighbors know I have a perfect score for showing up at the polls.
Oops, maybe they do know. I voted early because all of the election day poll workers are my neighbors.
Well, I'm glad to know what all this is about. The artist was even on NPR one morning several weeks ago.
The legal definition of consideration when discussing a contract or agreement does not necessarily mean hard cash or actual goods. Consideration is an item of value but it can be as vague and hard to quantify as "natural love and affection" owed from one person to another rather than explicit payment or even barter. Also it can be that one party agrees to undertake some act for the other person as consideration.
This sounds like sloppy legal drafting.
He is claiming willful and malicious trademark infringement on the bloggers which is different from innocent infringement. This suggests that the bloggers should have known about his trademark. I know I always check the US trademark on books I read in case I might want to know if it is owned by some crazy person before I post a review in which I-- oh, might mention the name of the book.
I wonder if he C&D Amazon and B&N?
The christian genre probably explains why I didn't recognize many of the names. This isn't Shawn Lamb's first rodeo though. Most of her craziness has been kept to Amazon forums. She had a fit over a two star review of one of her books and also wrote something about how some christian reviewers were "downright nasty" in their reviews. I think by this she meant that some christian reviewer did not love her book. She has a history of trying to rewrite internet history. Total waste as anyone who has been around a while could tell her.
I'm not seeing the problem. I just checked some authors-- Austen, Anne Bronte, and some more obscure works: The Pleasures of a Single Life, Or, The Miseries of Matrimony Occasionally writ upon the many divorces lately granted by Parliament. With The choice, or, ... to the beaus against the next vacation. [Kindle Edition] by John Pomfret and everything seems to be where it should be.
I just downloaded that last one, looks like an interesting historic document/pamphlet (34 pages).
The lawyer is thinking that if you sue enough people someone (and possibly more than one someone) might settle out. Yes, it is scummy and lawyers doing this make me despair for the legal profession.
I've known a few attorneys who were sanctioned and it was very unusual with a little contrition for the sanctions to not be reduced on appeal. Maybe Stone didn't know about the contrition part of appealing sanctions.
My Jack Russells loved to travel and occasionally would jump in a stranger's car if a door was open. I would have to retrieve them with apologies. I could see one wanting a train ride. Love the airplane ears in the picture with his owner. He did not want to be held right then.
Gibson reminds me of the last boss I had. The joke in the office was that he didn't pass the bar. he sneaked under it.
At least they didn't try to charge the other kids with identity theft. Shame the teen and parents had to go this far to get the page taken down. I would be as much disturbed by the imputation of racist beliefs in the Youtube video as anything. That's something that could turn around and bite the kid a few years later when she is looking for a job.
If the kids who did this are minors then parents are responsible for their actions in Georgia, at least up to $10,000 damage. That's how the parents got in there.
The faq is interesting. I liked the bit about being allowed (ney, encouraged) to share your copy of the books with your kids under the age of 18. When the kids turn 18 though they have to buy their own copy. Wha?
Why are Olympic mascots always so creepy? Considering the amount of money spent on everything you'd think they could hire some kick ass design work.

Why the new Cisco Intelligent Automation for Cloud Starter Edition is good news for Partners
Please be aware that this product is no longer sold.
Please be aware that this product is no longer sold.
The recent release of the new Cisco Intelligent Automation for Cloud Starter Edition is good news for Cisco's Partners.
Customers will have another way to purchase and implement a Cisco cloud solution. Most customers already know that they can buy this solution from Cisco and have Cisco Advanced Services perform the installation, configuration and customization — now qualified Partners will be able to both sell and stand up cloud solutions as well. Cisco Intelligent Automation for Cloud is a sophisticated yet easy-to-use cloud solution. Customers buy a software license, but typically need a Professional Services engagement to stand up the cloud.
Partner Enablement:
The Cisco IAC Partner Enablement program is what makes this possible for a Partner to perform. Qualified Partners will be able to get pre-sales and post-sales training. By pre-sales training, I mean gaining competencies around how to identify and qualify a deal, how to present the value proposition around Cisco Intelligent Automation for Cloud, how to strategically sell it and then an understanding about how it's deployed.
Post-sales training is a combination of learning foundational issues around cloud dynamics, and seven days of hands-on labs with the technology — becoming competent in the installation, configuration, enhancement, and customization of a Cisco IAC environment.
In order to insure quality and high customer satisfaction as Cisco IAC Starter Edition is rolled out, two dozen Authorized Technology Partners (ATP) Partners have been selected worldwide who have already built a cloud practice in their Professional Services organization. They've made investments and commitments to joint sales planning sessions, training classes and mentoring engagements. They have cloud business design and implementation service competencies matched by technical implementation qualifications that enable them to do multi-system integration with advanced enterprise software systems using standard web services and custom APIs. They are familiar with Cisco UCS and VMware certified and have done advanced data storage integrations. These consultants, architects and implementation engineers will receive the conceptual as well as hands-on experience with standing up a Cisco IAC solution.
A Phased Approach:
Starting later this month and next month, the first phase of training will begin for these ATP Partners with pre-sales and post-sales service delivery training classes. As these ATP Partners complete their training, a second phase of Partners, who are motivated to obtain the training, will be able to sign up for this enablement.
Where to learn more:
- You may have heard the announcement associated with the recent Cisco Partner Summit. And there are some very helpful tweets and posts from Wayne Greene located here, or from Jason Schroedl found here.
- Visit the Cisco IAC Partner Community. Cisco Partners are participating in the online community around Cisco IAC. With your Cisco Partner credentials, drop by cisco.com/go/iacloudpartner and join in the discussion, read the Q&A, and find other information designed specifically for Partners. The website will grow and develop based on your input.

The Xperia Play, Sony Ericsson's first PlayStation-branded phone, hasn't exactly set the world on fire. Mostly because, for a PlayStation Phone, there aren't many PlayStation games on it.
That could soon be about to change, though perhaps not in a way that will make Sony very happy. Coder yifanlu is working on reverse-engineering the phone's own emulator (used to play downloaded PS1 games) so that he can make it play custom ISO files.
Which for most people will mean the ones ripped from old discs and then seeded all over the internet.
He's already got it working, showing off an Xperia Play running Crash Bandicoot 3, which isn't available for download from the phone's legal marketplace.
Those thinking they'll soon be able to play Final Fantasy VII on their phones, though, don't get your hopes up: support for multi-disc games is a pipe dream for the future at this stage.

An MP has given his support to a national campaign highlighting the power of research in the battle against cancer.
Bob Blackman MP attended Cancer Research UK's parliamentary presentation on the vital role of research in saving the lives of people with cancer.
Every year around 29,000 people in London and more than 330,000 people in the UK are diagnosed with cancer, but survival rates have doubled in the last 40 years thanks to research into treatment.
The representative for Harrow East said: "It's a real eye-opener to visualise the number of lives saved in terms of seats in the House of Commons.
"It is truly inspiring to see what research can achieve. That's why I'm backing Cancer Research UK's campaign to make every moment count in the fight against cancer and I'm encouraging everyone to join me."

Please don't think these two species are interchangeable! Lavandula stoechas can be toxic. Its very high in ketones and camphor and has a very different chemistry than L. angustifolia (syn. L. officinalis, syn. L. vera) (which is the variety that should be used therapeutically).
You can view the scanned pages from Geunther on Stoechas with the various constituents at my blog at https://sherwoodlavender.wordpress.com/. If you'd like to look at L. angustifolia let me know.
Ketones are easily absorbed by the skin and are quite irritating so we would never recommend L. stoechas for cosmetics. It is so important to distinguish the species and varietal of any botanical. I've seen some reports that lavender doesn't work as a sleep aid (because a study uses L. intermedia which is high in stimulating camphor and low in relaxing linalyl acetate) or that lavender causes irritation because a variety high in ketones or camphor is used.
Here's a case study on pubmed of someone who poisoned themselves with L. stoechas tea: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22760025 and the full text is available here: http://www.kjm.keio.ac.jp/past/61/2/66.pdf
You'll notice the title of that case study: "Anticholinergic Syndrome and Supraventricular Tachycardia Caused by Lavender Tea Toxicity" would make the average reader thing that all lavender is similarly toxic - when its likely the fact that it was L. stoechas that caused the problem.
It is a great opportunity to remind ourselves that even if plants share common names, or are even the same species, they can still have very different chemistry and therefore their appropriate uses and toxicity can vary widely. Always be sure you know what the safe varieties are to use and that you have correctly identified your plant before you use it to make tea or any other product. If you're in doubt, simply enjoy looking at it in your garden...

by Dr Saleemul Huq, Senior fellow with the International Institute for Environment and Development. He writes about 12 December 2009 being a tipping point in the struggle for climate justice.
13 December 2009, Copenhagen. I have been working on climate change for many years, first as a researcher in my native Bangladesh and later as head of the climate change group at the International Institute for Environment and Development, and as a member of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
Dr Huq: Adaptation, now.
I have seen first-hand the threats climate change poses in places such as the drylands of Africa, the mountains of the Himalayas and the vast low-lying deltas of Asia. I have observed years of inaction at UN climate change summits that have failed to deliver the response needed because negotiators have chosen to protect narrow national and economic interests instead of rising to the challenge of protecting future generations.
I have jousted verbally with climate-change deniers who have strong links to polluting industries and who have never set foot in the vulnerable villages and urban communities where climate change is already having impacts. If they did they would realise the damage their ideology does to the people who have contributed least to this global threat.
And, now in Copenhagen in December 2009, I believe we have reached a tipping point. I truly believe that Copenhagen will be remembered in years to come, not for what happens on 18 December when world leaders meet here, but for what just happened yesterday on 12 December.
This marked the day that people from all walks of life all over the world seized the initiative from our so-called leaders. Regardless of the words these presidents and prime ministers decide in a "protocol" or "agreement" next week, it is the people of the world who have put the writing on the wall!
The leaders who choose to read those words will take us forward. Those who ignore them will be swept away by the tide of history.
Yesterday marked the point when a large part of the world rose up as one to tackle a truly global challenge. Although there may be temporary setbacks (like a less-than-ambitious deal next week) the tide has already turned. It cannot be turned back.
Regardless of how much we achieve next week -- and I remain optimistic in spite of the political maneuverings this week -- we are set on a new and inexorable path. The leaders who understand that may come from the most unexpected of quarters. Keep your eye, for instance, on President Nasheed of tiny Maldives.
In a few months I shall be moving back to Bangladesh to fight real climate change, as opposed to fighting against bad (or inadequate) climate change policies. My ambition over the coming years is to help the people of one of the poorest and most vulnerable -- and yet resilient and innovative -- countries transform themselves from being the world's iconic "vulnerable" countries to being recognised as perhaps the most "adaptive" countries.
I am going home to set up a new International Centre for Climate Change and Development (ICCCAD) where we aim to ramp up the capacity of governments, civil society organisations, researchers, academics, journalists and many others from developing countries to respond to the challenges that climate change poses.
The new centre will provide training and share knowledge on how to survive (and indeed even thrive) in a globally warmed world. It will focus primarily on adaptation to climate change in the least developed nations but will not stop there.
Indeed we are planning to provide capacity building for industrialised countries on how to face adverse climatic impacts. Ironically, unlike most of the world's poorest countries, the rich world that has caused this problem has not done detail planning on how to adapt.
I am returning to the front line of climate-change where the real fight is already underway. I go there knowing that millions of people around the world share my hopes and my optimism that humanity can unite to tackle the challenge that now defines our life on Earth.

Exceptional 9.6 From 992 reviews
This place was amazing! Transportation from the airport, brunch and upgraded room to the top floor made our one day/night in Bangkok fantastic! Everything was perfect and comfort was perfect. We loved the boat ride from the hotel. Can't say enough about brunch. It was our favorite on a 13 day trip to 6 countries. The hotel really was my favorite on our trip.
As always, can never go wrong with Peninsula, especially Peninsula Bangkok. Simply the best.
What a stunning oasis of tranquility and beauty in the heart of Bangkok. Phenomenal service and attention to details, beautifully appointed property, elegance and grace in the staff, great unexpected amenities (they have their own ferries). Normally this class of hotel is outside of what we choose as our hotel budget, but an incredible value in Bangkok.
expensive but superb hotel
Good area to enjoy some time in Bangkok with easy access to boats and subway.

In 1996, an Australian skier had a bold ambition – to feel ten years younger so he could ski all day, party all night and be ready the next morning do it all again.

His starting point was the knowledge that improved blood circulation would supply more oxygen to his muscles, helping them work harder for longer and recover faster. So he consulted with NASA and other experts to confirm he was on to something. Turns out he was.

Soon word got out that there were these things called SKINS that improved your power, speed, stamina and recovery. Pro athletes were the first to start wearing them. Before long, amateur athletes joined the party.

Apple lost almost 30% from its top ($700 area) in late September 2012. Analyzing the price moves from June 2011, an impulsive 5 wave rise can be observed, with the second wave being a flat correction and the fourth one being a zig-zag, respecting though the alternative characteristic of the Elliott Wave principle.
The most recent price action points to an end of the correction, as a falling wedge is developing, this probably being the final (C) wave from the intermediate (A)-(B)-(C) corrective structure. The out come of this scenario will be the overcome of the $700 some time this year.
The alternate scenario is that a intermediate wave (1) is developing, this being a leading diagonal as the price action fits into a wedge. The first conclusion regarding this scenario is that we will probably assist to a quick zig-zag on the up-side to complete wave (2) and then a sharp sell off that will take the price at least to the $320 area.
However, both of the scenarios are indicating a near term reverse of the intermediate downtrend and the swing traders could use this to buy in weakness is the price will reach the $470-$480 zone.
The volumes are also playing an important role here so the investors should also take a good look at their evolution.

Zistos Introduces Enhanced Under-the-Door Camera
Zistos has substantially improved the video capability of their popular UDC-100 under-the-door camera used in tactical surveillance missions. Now employing frame integration, the enhanced UDC-100 captures high resolution video in extremely low light conditions to covertly ascertain the situation status into rooms that have been locked or barricaded. To ensure user safety, the UDC-100P comes with a 6-foot telescoping pole that allows the under-the-door camera to be deployed and panned from a safe distance away from the door. As with all Zistos products, the enhanced under-the-door camera is fully compatible with all existing Zistos tactical surveillance systems and other components.
Zistos' Under-the-Door camera has been improved!
Zistos' stealthy Under-the-Door Camera (UDC) has received a major upgrade that effectively increases its performance in low-light conditions by an order of magnitude. A great performer from its initial inception, the UDC now boasts an advanced frame integration feature that adds subsequent video frames together as needed to provide a high contrast image under light starved conditions. The benefit to tactical teams is that they can use the UDC to gain visual dominance in barricade situations even when the room is dark. A high resolution CCD camera chip located at the tip of the tongue ensures that the image clarity is maximized by placing the "eye" directly in the room being observed. This CCD camera technology, along with the frame integration feature, affords unparalleled video performance that tactical teams need to make critical situational assessments.
To maintain safety throughout the mission, the UDC-100P kit adds a telescoping pole to safely deploy the UDC and pan the room while keeping the operator off to the side of the door and out of harm's way. The double hinged pole offers the degree of freedom to operate the UDC over a wide range of inclination angles. A foam pad serves as a silencer and pivot point maximize covertness while allowing the UDC to horizontally pan the entire room. In keeping with the VisionFlex™ design philosophy that sets Zistos apart from alternative video tools, the UDC is field adaptable to any existing Zistos tactical system, lending enhanced capability while preserving any initial investment. It is no wonder why Zistos has become the preferred choice in portable video tool for tactical surveillance missions.

In a virtual data view, Directory Proxy Server exposes virtual data. Directory Proxy Server is therefore responsible for controlling who can access that data, and what parts of the data can be accessed. To control access to virtual data, you can define virtual ACIs. When Directory Proxy Server receives a request on a virtual data view, it uses the virtual ACIs, and any authentication information provided by the user, to allow or deny access to the information that is requested.
This section describes the syntax and architecture of virtual ACIs. For information about configuring virtual ACIs, see Defining Access Control on Virtual Data Views in Oracle Fusion Middleware Administration Guide for Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition.
Virtual ACIs are defined by using the dpsaci operational attribute. The dpsaci attribute is multi-valued. This means that several ACIs can be defined for the same portion of a directory.
Directory Proxy Server is responsible for the management of the dpsaci attribute. This attribute can be configured along with the physical data but it is not stored with the data. When the dpsaci attribute is included in a request, Directory Proxy Server extracts it from the request and manages it in a dedicated ACI repository, through its own ACI data view.
A modify request that targets a virtual data view and contains the dpsaci attribute is effectively split into two requests by Directory Proxy Server. The first request handles only the virtual data, and the second request handles the virtual ACI.
By default, write operations are forbidden on non-LDAP data views.
Global ACIs are defined in the entry cn=data-source-name,cn=virtual access controls. These ACIs are evaluated by an ACI engine to deny or allow requests from a connection handler using that ACI pool. Global ACIs are required to allow or deny application administrators to access certain data. These application administrators can then provide more finely-grained access control to users, by placing ACIs directly in the data.
Only the proxy manager can create a pool of ACIs and manage ACIs directly through the ACI data view. Application administrators cannot manage ACIs directly through the ACI data view, even if they have the right to add entries. Application managers can only manage ACIs directly through the data.
ACIs that are defined in the data itself, are evaluated by Directory Proxy Server. These ACIs are entries in the pool of ACIs defined by the proxy manager, that is they are child entries of the entry cn=data-source-name,cn=virtual access controls.
ACIs have a performance impact. Therefore, if you use ACIs within the data itself, keep to a minimum the number of rules in the global ACIs, because these ACIs are evaluated every time the subtree is accessed.
The dpsaci attribute resembles the Directory Server aci attribute in syntax and behavior. For a description of Directory Server ACI syntax, see How Directory Server Provides Access Control.
The following list describes the differences between virtual ACIs and Directory Server ACIs.
Target keywords. Only the target, targetAttr and targetscope keywords are supported.
Permission keywords. The All access write does not permit selfwrite operations.
Bind rule subject. For performance reasons, virtual ACIs do not support the ldap:///suffix??sub?(filter) as a value for the userdn keyword.
Bind rule context. Virtual ACIs do not support SASL authentication. In addition, the ip keyword does not support subnet masks.
Virtual ACIs are stored centrally, in an LDIF file or in an LDAP directory. When you create a Directory Proxy Server instance, the virtual ACIs are stored in the LDIF file instance-path /config/access_controls.ldif by default. You can change the location of the virtual ACIs, particularly if you need to share ACIs across multiple proxy servers. For information about how to change the location of virtual ACIs, see To Define a New ACI Storage Repository in Oracle Fusion Middleware Administration Guide for Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition.
The ACI repository is accessed through an LDAP or LDIF data view, depending on the type of repository. By default, the access control data view is an LDIF data view named virtual access controls. The view base exposed by the access control data view must exist in the ACI repository.
The ACI repository contains one or more pools of ACIs. An ACI pool is defined by an LDAP entry of the type aciSource, directly below the view base of the data view. The ACI pool is a subtree of entries. It can contain access controls, and can be the parent entry of other entries containing ACIs.
Virtual ACIs are applied per connection handler. The name of the ACI pool to be used is defined as the aci-source property of the connection handler. Virtual access controls are not evaluated if you bind as the Proxy Manager.

No outfit posts this week because I did not leave the house except to go to my Histology Lab exam and to get coffee.
The only clothes I wore on these little trips were jeans, a tee and rainboots because while I was stuck in the house, with nothing but pages and pages of courses, Coke Zero and 12 hours of studying non stop, the sky felt like it had broken and it's been raining non stop. It's like the world is trying to catch up on the water it's been owing us since a very hot and dry autumn.
So, in lack of outfits, here is a quiz post and a lot wishes for a great weekend :)
I've been tagged by Zmaga to share 10 random things about myself, so off the top of my head here are the first things that come to mind:
1 I love movies and if I like a movie I can watch it 10 times in a row and not get bored of it. I've watched The Dark Knight about 6 times this summer, 3 of those times at the cinema!
2 I have a new obsession every week. This week: Twilight, apple and kiwi smoothies, making paper planes out of my courses. And when I do I go all the way (why yes, that is a photo of Robert Pattinson on my cell phone, iPod and computer desktop, why do you ask?)
3 I am very friendly with almost everybody, but I make real, honest-to-god, lets-share-friendship-bracelets friends rarely. But if I do end up considering you my friend I consider it to be forever. So my girls (they know who they are <3) style="font-weight: bold;">4 I'm a Taurus and I relate to my sign completely: stubborn, possessive, chilled until you really step on my nerves and then it's smoke-out-of-ears fury, haha.
5 I love reading. A lot. Favorite writers: Steinbeck, Amelie Nothomb, Faulkner, Bulgakov, Pascal Bruckner, Oscar Wilde.
6 I am half Macedonian. I can understand the language perfectly but can't speak a word of it.
7 Speaking of languages, my mom always jokes that I know English better than Romanian. She might be right :))
8 I love breakfast! You can starve me all day if you want, but if you get between me and my breakfast I die. It's my favorite meal of the day and it usually consists of a bowl of whole wheat cereals with soy milk, cinnamon, ground flax seeds and different fruits. Yum!
9 I am an early bird and I'm out of bed at 6 or 7 every morning.
10 I love coffee... but I guess that's really not an unknown fact about me, is it?
Also, I've been tagged by the adorable Annah:
The rules are :
1. Go to the 4th folder in your computer where you store your pictures.
2. Pick the 4th picture in that folder.
3. Explain the picture.
4. Tag 4 people to do the same!
My 4th folder is called Music is Love and this is the photo:
This photo is Brendon Urie, who is the singer from one of my favorite bands, Panic at the Disco. The photo was taken from the photo site of Thomas Conrad who is a great photographer and who unfortunately posts too little and whom I really like! Needless to say, I think this photo is absolutely beautiful <3

Pelosi eyeing immigration plan
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is spearheading a plan to advance comprehensive immigration reform in the chamber.
The California Democrat's strategy includes introducing legislation combining the comprehensive bill that passed the Senate Judiciary Committee in May with a bipartisan border-security bill from the House Homeland Security Committee, according to sources familiar with the plans.
Story Continued Below
The strategy was detailed at a meeting hosted by Pelosi last week with top House Democrats and several immigration-rights advocates, the sources said. The plan would be to publicly release the bill timed to the Oct. 5 National Day of Action that is meant to mobilize grass-roots support and pressure the House Republican leadership to take up immigration reform that includes a pathway to citizenship.
( PHOTOS: 10 wild immigration quotes)
The thinking, according to an aide familiar with the strategy, is that combining those two measures would create a bill that could rally support from as many lawmakers in the House as possible.
"This should be a very easy thing for Republicans, as well," the aide said.
Immigration legislation has been stalled since the Senate passed a comprehensive bill in June. The GOP-controlled House hasn't taken any action, and many House Republicans are skeptical of doing anything short of approving a series of piecemeal bills with a primary focus on enhancing border security.
Other Democratic sources familiar with the Pelosi discussions caution that no final decisions have been made. For instance, the date to release the legislation could change. Or House Democrats could settle on another immigration reform bill, though no others have emerged as a potential option.
( CARTOONS: Matt Wuerker on immigration)
"Dems agree that they need to lean into the issue more" and that may include releasing a bill "sooner rather than later," one advocate briefed on the discussions said Monday.
Attendees at Pelosi's immigration meeting included House Democratic Caucus Chairman Xavier Becerra of California and Democratic Reps. George Miller and Zoe Lofgren of California, John Yarmuth of Kentucky, Luis Gutierrez of Illinois and Chris Van Hollen of Maryland. Among the pro-reform advocates were representatives from the AFL-CIO, the Service Employees International Union, the National Council of La Raza, America's Voice and CASA de Maryland, who was there on behalf of the Fair Immigration Reform Movement.
The Thursday huddle followed a slew of immigration-focused meetings led by Pelosi last week, including ones with former AOL executive Steve Case and Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg.
( PHOTOS: Nancy Pelosi's career)
House lawmakers will return to Washington on Wednesday, and the House Democratic Caucus is slated to huddle later Wednesday evening for its weekly party meeting. One of the items on the agenda is "next steps on immigration reform," according to an aide.
Going with the version of the Senate Gang of Eight bill that passed the Senate Judiciary Committee, rather than the full Senate in June, is meant to strip out controversial border-security provisions that were inserted into the legislation in the final days of floor debate in order to gain Republican support.

As part of their review of what ails the Republican Party and how it might be fixed, Michael Gerson and Pete Wehner give very brief attention to foreign policy:
Another factor lies in the realm of foreign policy. For four decades, our adversarial relationship with the Soviet Union was a major issue in presidential elections. Over that period, and particularly from the early 1970s to the late 1980s, Republicans were widely considered the stronger and more trustworthy party when it came to national defense and to keeping America safe. In every presidential election since the Nixon–Humphrey contest in 1968, Republicans began with a significant lead in this respect. With the end of the Cold War in 1989, this potent issue was largely taken off the table. Nor has the decidedly mixed legacy of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan over the last decade worked to bolster the Republicans' electoral advantage in the conduct of foreign policy; if anything, the opposite is the case [bold mine-DL].
As I said elsewhere, this is probably the closest that Bush administration loyalists can get to acknowledging that Bush's conduct of these wars was poor. This is also one of the few admissions I have seen from prominent, conventional Republicans that Bush-era foreign policy might just have possibly been a drag on Republican political fortunes. It's worth noting for those reasons, but there isn't much here. The legacy of these wars hasn't been "decidedly mixed." Especially in the case of Iraq, it has been calamitous. A party that can't come to terms with that is one that has no business controlling the White House, and it likely won't be trusted with that power until its leaders demonstrate that they have some clue how disastrous their last president was. When we compare this to the essay's treatment of domestic policy, it is very weak.
At most, Gerson and Wehner acknowledge that the GOP's advantage on foreign policy and national security has vanished, but they still rely on the assumption that Republicans should normally have an advantage that the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have not bolstered. A proper reckoning of the state of the party's reputation on these issues would admit up front that it has suffered enormous damage, and the party's new disadvantage on these issues has existed since 2006. Republicans need to recognize that the Iraq war was a debacle, but they also need to understand why it was and then learn to avoid making similar errors in the future.
There would need to be an end to constant threat-hyping and threat inflation, which contributed greatly to the paranoia and fear that warped the debate over Iraq in 2002-03. There should also be a repudiation of preventive war. Ideally, it would be rejected because it is illegal and wrong, but it would be good enough if Republicans rejected it because it is an imprudent, reckless abuse of U.S. power. No less important, Republicans need to learn to be much warier of executive power when one of their own is in power. That is probably the hardest thing to learn, since many partisans tend to tolerate awful behavior from "their" presidents that they would otherwise condemn, but it would be essential to Republicans' resistance to new wars in the future.
Reforming Republican foreign policy goes beyond correcting the excesses of a militarized approach to the rest of the world and the frequent resort to military action that goes with it. For starters, Republicans might stop defining U.S. interests in a given region as more or less identical to what the most nationalist and hard-line members of a client government believe their interests to be. They could take their cues from the Nixon Doctrine and stop encouraging allies to free-ride on the U.S. military, which they encourage when they insist that military spending should never be reduced. Positively, they could provide the State Department with the resources that it needs to promote U.S. interests and secure their facilities instead of targeting its relatively small amount of funding in their budget proposals. Ideally, their national leaders and spokesmen on these issues would also be far less obsessed with democracy promotion than they are, but that isn't as important as fixing these other problems. These are just a few suggestions to remedy the GOP's most glaring deficiencies and weaknesses on these issues. It isn't an exhaustive list of what needs to be done, but it would get Republicans going in the right direction.

I think about developing my new mobile and web app against NuoDB. I believe in their technology. The thing that I care the most is backup and restore in case of data corruption and read / write speed scalability.
From what I've read, you can use NuoDB with Amazon S3 as the archive node for storing the data. That looks very useful because you aren't limited on how much data you can store on a single bucket. Furthermore, It's easy to backup the data because you can detach the archive node and you get to have a backup of the data which you can restore back by attaching the archive node back and let the other node sync with it.
Because I expect a lot of data (terabytes), it seems like a good solution, because I will not need to export the data, compress it and store it on EBS volume(s).
1) How efficient is S3 as archive node with NuoDB for high read/write scenerios?
2) Is this is a good backup option to use with NuoDB (the one that I described above)?
3) Should I be better to use MySQL Load balancers? I've read that their are many solutions that you can use on Amazon RDS to scale the DB horizontally and without any code and DB modification (ScaleBase?).

This month on the 19th of September we mark the day in 1893 when women were finally given the vote in New Zealand. This came only after an enormous struggle by some very brave women. The importance of that struggle was captured in the words of The White Ribbon editor, Nelly Perryman, 25 years later;
"We, the mothers of the present, need to impress upon our children's minds how women of the past wrestled and fought, suffered and wept, prayed and believed, agonised and won for them the freedom they enjoy today."
"We, the mothers of the present, need to impress upon our children's minds how women of the past wrestled and fought, suffered and wept, prayed and believed, agonised and won for them the freedom they enjoy today."
Those women fought for a principle and won something fundamental that many now seem to take for granted.
This month another principle is at stake. We're in the Court of Appeal challenging the decision to decline Greenpeace charitable status under the 'new' Charities law passed in 2005. Central to this is free speech, or a so-called 'political exception' which stops charities from engaging in what the government may think is political advocacy, or challenging the status quo.
Whether we are successful or not in gaining charitable status, Greenpeace will continue to work in the same manner as we always have. Backed by nearly 60,000 kiwis, we will remain strictly non-party political, staunchly independent and we will continue fighting non-violently for good environmental outcomes and peace with every means at our disposal.
So what's the big deal then?
The problem, as we see it, is that the definition of charity being used is too rigid and it's outdated, dating back to 17th Century English law. We're questioning whether that's really good enough for charitable groups working in this day and age.
In the eyes of the law Greenpeace's environmental purposes are judged to be charitable as they benefit the community, as does our promotion of peace, but promoting disarmament is not. It is deemed to be too political.
Watch what you say!
Under the new charity law you can do some political 'advocacy' work in the form of promoting or challenging environmental policies or laws. However, too much advocacy, will be risky, particularly if it is critical of the status quo. But how much is too much is not clear. This creates a dilemma for some charities because if they overstep this indistinct line, they risk losing government funding linked to their charitable status.
Greenpeace does not seek or accept money from the Government (or business) so nothing will change for us in that respect, but the potential effect on debate for those that do, is a real and chilling possibility.
We want to see New Zealand more in line with Australia which allows charities freedom of expression in political debate as long as it is consistent with their charitable purposes. We reckon that the Aussies are right; engaging in political debate is an essential part of advocacy work, it's very much in the public interest and an essential part of a modern democracy.
Ambulances at the bottom of the hill
As it stands right now in New Zealand, to be absolutely safe and to keep your charitable status, you can tell people about what is happening to the environment, you can help clean up the mess that is made, or try to fix what has been broken. But you will be taking a big risk if you try to prevent a wrong from occurring in the first place.
Under this interpretation a charity is relegated to being the ambulance at the bottom of the hill. If you go to the top of the hill and try to prevent the accident from happening, you may risk losing your charitable status.
Not over yet
We see confining charity to a rigid 17th century definition and applying a political exception that is likely to reduce political participation in important social issues would be a backwards step, a missed opportunity and one that I am sure our suffragettes would see as most uncharitable. New Zealand and our Parliament are robust enough to withstand a bit of real debate. We hope the Court of Appeal agrees.
NOTE: GREENPEACE has not lost its donee status which allows our supporters to make tax deductable donations. The IRD determines if organisations meet the test for donee status while the Department of Internal Affairs determines which organisations meet the criteria for charitable status.
Bunny is a long-time Greenpeacer who started off as a deckhand on board the original Rainbow Warrior, then became campaign leader for the Pacific, then Executive Director of Greenpeace NZ, and is now executive director of Greenpeace International.

A full session at Stockholm World Water Week yesterday saw the official unveiling of plans and communication tools to help promote 2013 as the UN's International Year of Water Cooperation.
The objective of the International Year is to raise awareness on the potential for improved water cooperation, and on the challenges facing water management with increasing demands for water access, allocation and services.
For IUCN, this focus on Water Cooperation comes at a time when the first phase of its BRIDGE – Building River Dialogue and Governance, project is showing practical results in improving transboundary cooperation and dialogue in 9 river basins across the world.
"Working together with our partners, Members, and the Swiss Development Cooperation (SDC) through the BRIDGE project, IUCN is building water governance capacities through learning, demonstration, leadership, and consensus-building. In the Sixaola River Basin on the Costa Rica-Panama border, new strategic partnerships have already been established and transboundary river committees empowered to support water cooperation", says Mark Smith, Director IUCN Global Water Programme.
During the UNESCO organized workshop at Stockholm Water Week, Alejandro Iza, Director IUCN Environmental Law Centre stated a clear 16 word message, "Cooperation, peace, justice, human rights, social inclusion, development, and certainty. Law is a serious matter, take it seriously."
Concurrently, a video on the BRIDGE transboundary governance project in Sixaola was released and made available on YouTube. The 5- minute video, presented by SDC's François Munger, focuses on solutions put forward for water dialogue and governance on the Costa Rica-Panama border. It puts donor and community members in front of the camera who share their views on water cooperation and environmental challenges the region faces, such as climate change impacts and frequent flash flooding.
This video, along with a range of upcoming new products and events, will highlight water cooperation initiatives and education tools towards and during the 2013 International Year of Water Cooperation.

Obama prepares for annual correspondents' dinner
WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama was set to join journalists, government officials, politicians and media personalities Saturday night at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner for an evening of humor and celebrity gazing that has become an annual tradition in the nation's capital.
Ahead of the dinner, Obama was spending the afternoon golfing at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, with three White House aides. First Lady Michelle Obama was to accompany him to the black tie event.
Joel McHale, star of the NBC series "Community," was signed to be the dinner's featured entertainer.
The dinner has often come at key moments of Obama's presidency. In 2011, Obama showed up the day before special operations troops killed Osama bin Laden. Last year's dinner came nearly two weeks after the deadly Boston Marathon.
This time, the U.S. and Europe are anxiously watching Ukraine and Russia's role in the turbulence in the eastern region of the former Soviet state.
The correspondent's association, which represents the White House press corps, is celebrating its 100th anniversary.
Several journalists were to be awarded prizes for their coverage of the presidency and national issues.
Glenn Thrush of Politico and Brianna Keilar of CNN won the Aldo Beckman Award, which recognizes excellence in the coverage of the presidency.
Peter Baker of The New York Times and Peter Maer of CBS News won the Merriman Smith Award for deadline coverage.
Megan Twohey of Reuters and a partnership between The Center for Public Integrity's Chris Hamby and ABC News' Matthew Mosk and Brian Ross won the Edgar A. Poe Award for coverage of issues of national significance.

Come One, Come All!
Skrebneski exhibit at my Buckingham Interiors + Design Showroom
…to the exhibit I am hosting at my Chicago showroom of world renowned fashion and celebrity photographer Victor Skrebneski The exhibit, Homage Magritte, featuring never before seen works, will run through May 13, so I'd love to see ya'll stop by to check out this iconic artist's incredible work.
Skrebneski exhibit at my Buckingham Interiors + Design Showroom
Skrebneski's love of photography began at an early age, and at the age of 70 the prolific artist is still actively practicing his craft. His broad body of work includes portraiture, fashion shots and beauty photography, all imbued with a non-traditional twist. Some of the most famous names in fashion, film and art have been immortalized in his portraiture, and celebrated brands and magazine publications have employed Skrebneski to create works of art through editorial and advertisement photography. As a student at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, the artist began his career as a painter and sculptor, yet a chance encounter with a friend's discarded dark room equipment would forever change the course of his life and career.
Although Skrebneski's early career objectives included a relocation to New York, an assignment for Marshall Field's in Chicago called him back to the Windy City, eventually influencing him to settle permanent in the city where it all began.
Skrebneski's work has been featured in countless museums, periodicals and books, most recently including an exhibit at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago and in the publication of Skrebneski: The First Fifty Years. With no plans to slow down any time soon, the artist has embarked on a new project to create 33 portraits of Steppenwolf actors to commemorate the theater's 25th anniversary. The lively artist is a true inspiration both in his artistic practices and his life experience whose work is both captivating and revolutionary. I am truly honored to have the opportunity to collaborate with Victor and delighted to call both him and Dennis friends of mine. What gentlemen and a whole lot of fun! What's next you two? Count me in!
