Singles' Day or Guanggun Jie (Chinese: 光棍节; pinyin: Guānggùn Jié; Wade–Giles: Kuang-kun chieh; literally: "bare sticks holiday") is an entertaining festival widespread among young Chinese people,[1] to celebrate the fact that they are proud of being single. The date, November 11th (11/11), is chosen because the number "1" resembles an individual that is alone. This festival has become the largest online shopping day in the world,[2] with sales in Alibaba's sites Tmall and Taobao at US$5.8 billion in 2013, US$9.3 billion in 2014, US$14.3 billion in 2015 and over US$17.8 billion in 2016.[3][4][5]
Singles' Day or Bachelors' Day, which originated from Nanjing University in 1993, was initially celebrated at various universities in Nanjing during the 1990s.[6] It got the name "Singles' Day" because the date consists of four "one"s. Upon graduating, these college students carried the university tradition into society. Singles' Day has been largely popularized in the internet era and is now observed by youth in several regions outside China as well.
Singles' Day serves as an occasion for single people to party with single friends. The holiday was initially only celebrated by young men, hence the name, "Bachelors' Day", but is now widely celebrated by both sexes.[citation needed] 'Blind date' parties are also popular during this day in an attempt to bid goodbye to their single lives. Some schools of a university put forward a special program to gather singles together for celebration. Singles may take on a bemoaning or self-deprecating attitude for remaining single as a university student, but this has helped curb that negativity.[citation needed]
2011 marked the "Singles Day of the Century" (Shiji Guanggun Jie), this date having six "ones" rather than four—an excuse to take celebrations to a higher level.[7] Shopping promotions were highlighted throughout China and activities were widespread. Although this date is meant to celebrate singlehood, the desire to find a spouse or mate is often expressed by young Chinese on this date, while other love-related issues are discussed by the Chinese media.
Guess #1: Nanjing University's dorm culture. This is the most acceptable guessing for the origin of Single's Day. In 1993 at a dorm called "Mingcaowuzhu (All single men)" at Nanjing University, the four students talked about how to find a girlfriend every night before sleeping for a long time. During their little talks, they came up with the idea of organizing some activities on the upcoming November 11. Since then, those activities organized on November 11 were widely spread to many universities in Nanjing even in many other cities. With these students graduating from universities, this university culture was brought to the whole society, and because of the large amount of single people and social media's strong power, this day has become more and more popular in the Chinese society.
Guess #2: A love story. A young man whose name was Mu Guang Kun, was born on November 11, 1970. Because of his special name in Chinese, he had been called "Guang Gun" since primary school. During his second year at Nanjing University, he began a romantic relationship with a girl. However, the girl was diagnosed cancer and died later on. The young man went to the top floor, fluting with some candles on on the night of the girl's death. He seemed to become another person after that night. On his birthday during his senior year, his roommates also went to the top floor with him again to keep him company. Afterwards, this sad story became well known in Nanjing University and his birthday was then set up to be "Guang Gun Festival".
The following symbolism has been associated with the special date:
- "1": The figure of "1" symbolizes an individual, a single person
- 2x"1": Two individuals, finding each other, and being together on one side of the special date (11.11)
- 2x(2x"1"): A celebration of 2 (and more) different and separate couples, each comprising two single individuals finding each other on the special date (11.11)
In 2011, an above-average number of marital celebrations occurred in Hong Kong and Beijing on November 11.[8] In addition to meaning "single", the four "ones" of the date can also mean "only one" as in "the only one for me". Some people will use this date and this meaning to tell their special someone that they are the only "one" in their heart.
As more people join in the celebration of this holiday, it has become a great opportunity for companies targeting younger consumers, including restaurants, Karaoke, and online shopping malls. For example, the Chinese online shopping mall Taobao sold 19 billion CNY (about 3 billion USD) of goods on November 11, 2012.[9] In November 2016, the e-commerce giant Alibaba has set its Singles Day record and generated 120.7 billion CNY (17.79 billion USD) in gross merchandise.[10]
The term "双十一" (meaning "Double 11") was trademarked in China by Alibaba Group on December 28, 2012, under registration numbers 10136470 and 10136420. In Oct 2014, Alibaba threatened legal action against media outlets that accept advertising from competitors that use this term.[11]

A new force in Business Intelligence emergesA unique force in Business Intelligence – Decision Inc. – was officially launched in Johannesburg today.
Decision Inc. is headed up by CEO Nick Bell, who started the highly successful Qlikview company, BusinessIntelligent in 2008. Together with his colleagues, Bell has already built a substantial customer base. According to Bell, there was a concerted effort in 2013 to establish a sustainable, efficient and well-organised entity to build on BusinessIntelligent' "Leadership at BusinessIntelligent embarked on a journey to identify similar-minded companies that could provide clients with a technology and business experienced partner to assist in improving decision making processes and requirements." The first deal was for Cyest Corporation to sell its division, DigiQuill Productivity, a Microsoft Partner, to Decision Inc. At the same time, BusinessIntelligent was sold to Decision Inc., with the respective leaders becoming equal partners in the new venture. A second deal was then completed with SAP partner, ASYST Intelligence, to also trade in their shares and join the new group. "The merger means that the company has 70 highly skilled staff and over 200 clients, making it one of the few companies in South Africa that can offer assistance to any business, irrespective of the level of their requirements. Not only do we have a pool of skilled business and process analysts, but we have experienced technical consultants competent in building and supporting market-leading BI platforms and tools," explains Bell. According to Bell, the service-delivery model is represented by four key pillars: Decision Architecture; Decision Architecture: Data Engineering: Insight Generation and Presentation: Enablement and Support: The best solutions, once successfully implemented, must be deeply embedded in the organisation to effect adoption and change. The same solutions must also be continually supported to ensure longevity and continual improvement. This service includes change management, classroom and workshop training, project management, remote support and call centre assistance. Significance to the market Executive leadership behind Decision Inc. believe the venture demonstrates a radical shift in the application of BI within the African market. "In addition to our unique understanding of decision-making processes and related solutions," says Bell, "our value proposition is based on the provision of both technical skills and relevant business knowledge across the BI value chain. This will help clients to realise maximum value from their investment in decision support technology and enable them to make better decisions, faster." He says Decision Inc.'s vision is to add real value to clients by providing business and process knowledge, and then leveraging the power of information through robust data and best-of-breed platform technologies. Decision Inc. represents global software vendors QlikView, SAP, Microsoft, Roambi, MicroStrategy and IsoMetrix. "Our unique combination of business and technical competence will help business leaders make better and smarter decisions, gaining critical insight from their data," he adds. "Clients are no longer focused on reporting for the sake of reporting: they see and understand the competitive advantage of being able to make better business decisions faster. They need actionable intelligence provided to them efficiently and through a platform that enables them to answer important questions about their business." Bell has already set his sights on aggressively growing the company's existing client base. The company plans to continue to grow significantly in the coming months, both from a revenue and skills perspective. End

Wiranto attacks Timor trials as 'unfair'
Indonesia's former military chief General Wiranto has criticised the forthcoming trials of military officials and militiamen accused of human rights abuses in East Timor.
He said his soldiers had done nothing wrong.
But the hearings, originally scheduled for last month, could well be delayed again because the judges have not yet been named. General Wiranto was armed forces commander when East Timor voted to break away from Indonesia in August 1999. The referendum result sparked a bloody rampage by the Indonesian army and Jakarta-backed militias, and the United Nations sent in international peacekeepers to end the violence. Bias accusation General Wiranto - who is not himself facing trial, after prosecutors said there was not enough evidence - denied his men had carried out human rights violations.
General Wiranto said he would present himself as a witness at the tribunal, but he said the prosecution case was biased and relied on foreign sources including the United Nations and Australia. The trials, to take place in the Indonesian capital Jakarta, are eagerly-awaited - especially by Western governments, which have made the hearings a pre-condition for the resumption of full economic and military ties with Indonesia.
The trials are due to start next Tuesday, but this week the government said it has not yet approved a list of 30 judges nominated to hear the cases. "Discussions are still in process," said Foreign Minister Hassan Wirayuda on Monday. Last month, a United Nations tribunal in East Timor sentenced 10 members of pro-Indonesian militia to jail terms of up to 33 years for human rights atrocities. Indonesia has not yet carried out any prosecutions. |

Pressure On Trinity Church To Call Off Occupy Wall Street Trespassing Charges
Jack Boyle is on a hunger strike and HIV-medication strike over Trinity Church's support of charges against Occupy Wall Street protesters. |
Trinity Church, a massive New York landowner with an estimated $1 billion in real estate holdings, is once again at odds with Occupy Wall Street, the movement that sprung up in its back yard.
The relationship between Trinity and Occupy has been fraught almost from the start, but tensions escalated last winter, after the NYPD evicted Occupy Wall Street from Zuccotti Park, when protesters asked the church for sanctuary in an unused church-owned plot in Duarte Square.
The church refused, and on December 17, the protesters, led by clergy including retired Episcopal Bishop George Packard, jumped the chain-link fence anyway, prompting dozens of arrests.
Many of those arrested that day are scheduled for trial next Monday, June 11, charged either with violation-level trespass or with criminal trespass in the third degree, a charge which can carry three months of jail time.

The Manhattan District Attorney's office, which so far has had little success in prosecuting the thousands of Occupy Wall Street arrests made by police in the last eight months, appears to be focusing its energies on securing convictions in the December 17 arrests. Defense attorneys say that prosecutors appear to be giving the December 17 cases special attention. They have rescinded offers of ACDs, Adjournments in Contemplation of Dismissal, made to some of the defendants earlier, and are preparing for trial.
Facing the possibility of a 90-day stint at Rikers, Occupiers are once more asking the church to cut them some slack.
Trinity has responded to emails on the subject with the following statement:
Trinity does not have the legal ability to drop charges. Those cases are being prosecuted by the District Attorney's office. However, Trinity has contacted the District Attorney's office and has been advised that the District Attorney has offered non-criminal dispositions without fines or incarceration to all those defendants who were arrested and charged with trespassing for simply being present at Duarte Square."
Outside Trinity Church at yesterday's demonstration. |
Gideon Oliver of the National Lawyers Guild says this statement is misleading on several counts. For one thing, while many of those arrested were offered and have declined Adjournments in Contemplation of Dismissal, not all of them have. For another, its disingenuous for Trinity to claim it has no control over the outcome in these cases. Sure, the District Attorney is in charge of the prosecution, but without the testimony of the church's lawyer, Amy Jedlicka, prosecutors would have no case.
Protesters launched a picket outside yesterday's service, carrying signs that read "Forgive us our trespasses," "Who would Jesus Prosecute?" and "Trinity Wall Street: Real Estate Company or Church?"
Also on hand was Jack Boyle, a 56-year-old New Yorker on the 11th day of a hunger strike and the 15th day of his HIV-medication strike. "I'm going to keep this going until the church stops trying to send us to jail," Boyle said.
Some in the movement have quietly questioned the wisdom of deploying such a dramatic and dangerous tactic over what ultimately amounts to a third-degree issue for Occupy: dropping charges stemming from an effort to secure space in which to organize against corporate control and economic inequality. But Boyle and his supporters counter that yesterday's demonstration was less about getting protesters off the hook for the consequences of their civil disobedience, and more about exposing the hypocrisy of a church that bears more than a passing resemblance to its corporate neighbors in the Financial District.
When a list of the church's vestry leaked last winter, it included executives of Brookfield Properties, AIG, Citigroup, and BNP Paribas. That roster was shaken up this past March, however, when 10 of the 22 vestry members quit. The walkout was only the latest round of turmoil under the leadership of Trinity's rector James Cooper.
Press accounts make Cooper sound like the modern Episcopal version of a Borgia pope. He received compensation of $1.3 million in 2010, awarded himself the supplementary title of CEO, and picked out a $5.5 million SoHo townhouse for himself, paid for by the church. And his Scroogely actions extend well beyond stiff-arming Occupy Wall Street: he shuttered Trinity's homeless drop-in center in 2009, then announced plans to borrow church money to build luxury condos on top of a palatial renovation of the church's offices.
Cooper's excesses were too much even for some of his high-flying vestry, and they asked him to resign. When he refused, many quit. They've since been replaced by members more aligned with Cooper's way of doing things.
That doesn't bode well for protesters' hopes the church will ask the District Attorney to call off the prosecutions.
"This situation exemplifies how, in a system built on profit, everything ties back to the greed of Wall Street, even Trinity Church" said Brett Goldberg, one of the organizers of yesterday's protest. "We have people who might go to Rikers for standing somewhere for a few minutes. Trinity could make that stop. We hope they do."

Dears, I don't care for this winter business. The extra hours of darkness and cold weather give me seasonal depression – a condition that is worsened by the melancholy that seems to go hand and hand with the holidays. It's tough for me to make merry, is my point.
Luckily, I have found several things that I enjoy and make me giggle and so it is in the spirit of giving that I bring them to your attention as well.
- Mark Reads: The Hunger Games
A few weeks back, Mrs. Frothy lent me a series of (Young * cough * Adult) books by Suzanne Collins. The Hunger Games trilogy is a violent and bleak tale about a teenage girl who is forced by her own government to fight to the death (see FUCK, HOLY) in an outdoor area with 23 other children – all between the ages of 12-18 - until one remains. Oh yes, and the bloody event is held annually and televised. The children all hail from different districts in a dystopian country called Panem (Bread in Latin) and nearly all of them are entrenched in poverty and starving. In addition to the perks of not being murdered on live television by another child, the sole survivor receives a home for their family to live in as well as food for the remainder of their life. It's one of the most engrossing – and disturbing – things I have read in some time and I tore through the series in a week's time.
But I digress. I mention this because Mrs. Frothy had also asked me to write up a review of the third book in the series, Mockingjay, and I have failed in doing so primarily because I recently found someone who is reviewing the series and doing a far better job than I possibly could. The site, Mark Reads, reviews several literature series (both the Harry Potter and Twilight series are covered there as well) one chapter at a time with witty and biting commentary and I think it is hilarious and MAGICAL. I encourage you to check out his site!
- Drunk History
Bless the sweet baby jeebus. Have you seen Drunk History? I feel like it would be a disservice to the series to try and explain it if you haven't, it's the sort of thing that is better to just watch and let wash over you. Drunk History has been an endless source of joy for me during a particularly dark time and so I am enclosing two of my recent favorites.

Radek Stepanek of the Czech Republic was the only seeded player to fall on a rain-interrupted opening day of the Toronto Masters.
Spain's Feliciano Lopez proved to be Stepanek's conqueror on Monday, beating the 11th seed 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, on a day without the draw cards Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic in singles action. All three, who are launching their North American hard-court campaigns in Toronto, have been granted first-round byes in the tournament.
"Obviously this is the surface that suits my game most," said Djokovic, who was opening his title defence last night with a second-round match against Canada's Frank Dancevic. "It is my most preferred surface, the surface where I have my best results and biggest achievement of my career. So I think it is enough reason to expect to do well in the hard-court season. Defending this title I have a lot of responsibilities and expectations, but it is a challenge," the Australian Open champion added.
While the men's top three did not play on Monday, five other seeds advanced to the second round, with ninth-seeded Swiss Stanislas Wawrinka beating the rain that delayed play for almost two hours with a 6-4, 7-6 victory over Italy's Simone Bolelli.
Wawrinka was joined in the second round by 10th-seeded Frenchman Richard Gasquet, who disposed of his Davis Cup team-mate Michael Llodra 6-2, 4-6, 6-3. "I know him well, I played Davis Cup with him and I practise with him, so it's always difficult to play against a countryman," Gasquet said. "It was OK for me to play three sets. For sure I prefer to win in two sets, but I'm happy to get the win."

But my favorite story she's put online is the weird, gritty and unpredictable "Fulcrum," which is sort of a cyberpunk noir cowboy occult adventure story. It's the perfect thing to read right about now, to give you a jolt of insanity to help you get through the rest of your day. Advertisement I don't want to give away too much of the plot of "Fulcrum," but I will mention a few of the things that were cool about it. Its main characters, Orlando and Grace, are aliens who look just human enough that they have to keep reminding everyone that they're not human. There are also some hints that their sexuality doesn't quite work the same way as ours, including a great scene involving tea.A lot of the story's "noir" comes from two thuggish guys who hang around the Kuiper Belt station, waiting to be shot out into deep space on a probably deadly prospecting run: Jack Solo and Draco Fujima. They both have virtual-reality sex bots that follow them around, and Jack's sex-bot, Anni-mah, is a quivering masochist. She literally follows him around asking him to hurt her, and it's disturbingly creepy. But then it's only much later that Jones reveals that "A softbot sextoy (and this was why the bots had been only a passing phase on earth) inevitably reflects the owner's secret identity." Advertisement There's a lot more twisted and unsettling but fascinating stuff — including a murder mystery and a weird quasi-creature that could be the most valuable object in the universe — in "Fulcrum."

Earlier this month, the council appeared ready to stop the project to modernize the city's graphic design standards. But after being told the contract could not be canceled, council members settled on a minor upgrade to the existing logo — a new font and fresh topography — and agreed to purchase a style guide.
Ms. Carlton had asked for the reconsideration because new information had come to light, "which I believe is the definition of when we bring things back," she said.
But while originally uncomfortable with the cost when the council voted to proceed with the project two weeks ago, she said, her recent research turned up two local cities that paid $65,000 and $56,000 for logos and style guides, suggesting that Menlo Park "got a great deal" on its $49,000 contract.
The councilwoman later told the Almanac that the cities were San Carlos and Palo Alto.
Fellow council member Peter Ohtaki opted to leave the reconsideration on the agenda, however, and moved to approve it. Mayor Ray Mueller seconded, saying he was doing so only to support a fellow council member; but the motion failed to garner a majority vote when Kirsten Keith and Ms. Carlton dissented. Councilman Rich Cline was absent.
Mr. Ohtaki explained that he still had questions regarding what exactly Menlo Park will get — will the work include presentation templates, for example? — and whether the contract has a provision for termination, contrary to what the council had been told on Jan. 14.
"I would like to see a statement of work," he said.
Ms. Carlton noted that after the council approved the redesign two weeks ago, the contractor — 2 Sisters Design, based in Redwood Shores — had begun the second phase of the project and "now we'd have to pay to stop," since the city would be billed for completed work to date.
The discussion shed some light on who decided to redesign the city's logo, a move that caught council members by surprise when they were asked to evaluate alternative emblems, developed for $25,000 during the first phase of the project; their comments at the time indicated they didn't know their support of a "rebranding" effort would include changing the logo. Contracts under $50,000 are not subject to council approval under the city's policy.
Ms. Carlton said Jan. 28 that the idea appeared to have originated within the Community Services Department. How the project evolved "was not egregious enough" to warrant reconsideration.
During an interview with the Almanac, she said the idea had initially started as a rebranding of recreation services, which eventually expanded to encompass the entire city.
She agreed with the need to develop a professional, consistent style for city documents and graphics, but "just wanted to make sure in my own mind that I was comfortable with that much money" and would have preferred more community outreach by staff for a project as large as changing Menlo Park's brand.

Leafs 5 Thrashers 1
I missed the entire game so I have no comment other than a four game win streak sure looks good right now.
Also seems that the Leafs have finally figured out how to play defense in the new NHL. Much less time in the penalty box and fewer goals against as well.
Anyone who has watched this team closely over the past few years has seen similar patterns. The team seams to look a little shaky in the early going and then rounds into form.
Lets hope this is happening this time.
BTW : McCabe is on pace for a 113 point season at this juncture.

How much of the Leafs' current win streak can be explained away by weak opposition?
Lighting up Atlanta is hardly a monumental task, the Bruins are stinking out the joint, and the Rangers are cooling off.
Montreal is an excellent team this year, so the win against them cannot be chalked up to weak opposition - however I think Leaf fans remember how that game was tied up.... a fluke goal late in the game. Hardly a deserved win.
Build a streak against some talented cubs and then get back to me.- Five-011/21/2005 9:26 AM
And the Sens have lost all their games against the other division leaders.
Philly and Carolina.
Both of whom Toronto has beat. Actually, I was pretty impressed with the way that the Leafs dominated the Thrashers.
Admittedly, Atlanta is not a great team, but with guys like Kovalchuk, Hossa, and Bondra being held to 1 goal, that says something.
Personally, my favourite part was seeing Lindros being interviewed by Ron McLean. Lindros wanted to talk about the win, but Ron only asked him about Larmer's letter about the NHLPA. Deer in headlights ensued.....
Tuesday (Sens) and Friday's (Leafs) games against Carolina should provide some good stuff for us to chew on.
Still think Allison is trade bait?Let's not forget Toronto hasn't even beaten the number one team in the eastern conference. The fact that Ottawa has lost only three games this season so far is much more impressive than the wins the Leafs have been managing to squeeze out. And I'm pretty sure that the teams Ottawa has beaten, have beaten the Leafs as well. Hmm, yup, I'm betting on it. Weak!
ReplyDeleteBig Freaking deal people. The quality of the teams doesn't mean that they always play shitty? Atlanta stunk it up at the beginning of the season and now they've started to get things together. Toronto did a good job of containing them.
You have to think that Ottawa has the same team it did for the last few years minus a few boobs. An you add a couple of amazing talents who don't try and steal the show.
Toronto is dealing with a few losses of good players and the addition of some more so it takes time to gel.
Also I think that not playing teams from the West has kept Ottawa at the top. The west teams would walk all over the East teams if they played them on a regular basis.- Five-011/21/2005 1:29 PM
"And that has anything to do with the Toronto streak how? Can't beat the logic, so you bob and weave instead?"...
Meatriarchy made a comment on how a four game win streak was nice, regardless of who they beat.
Get "Don" to write a Sens article so you can discuss how fantastic and amazing the sens are instead of commenting negatively on every Leaf article...
The real logic here is, the Leafs have won four games in a row... so who's bobbing and weaving? five-0,
You really need to learn to read - or else take off those blue-tinted glasses for at least 5 seconds.
Meatriarchy wrote an article, and I criticized it.... that's what happens on blogs. Amazing concept, I know. The point is not to mindlessly worship every word the author says, but to critically assess, and bring up faults in logic. I did that.
You're free to disagree with what I write, but try to actually pick apart my comment instead of beating up non-existant strawmen the next time around.
(For an example of how to effectively respond to a comment, look to yoda's last effort - he makes good ponts.)Yoda,
I'd be interested to hear why you think the West is superior to the East, especially this year. Certainly in the past your comment would be valid, but I don't see a lot of frightening talent in the West.... in fact most of the teams look to be sub-standard, with few exceptions (Vancouver and Nashville to name a pair).

WASHINGTON — Congress sought cooperation from one Justice Department official and prepared to put the agency's former White House liaison under oath in a widening investigation into the politics of Justice Department decision-making.
Other political news of note
Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
House Speaker John Boehner became animated Tuesday over the proposed Keystone Pipeline, castigating the Obama administration for not having approved the project yet.
- Budget deficits shrinking but set to grow after 2015
- Senate readies another volley on unemployment aid
- Obama faces Syria standstill
- Fluke files to run in California
Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
The Senate Judiciary Committee asked Bradley Schlozman, a former senior civil rights attorney and U.S. attorney, to speak with investigators. The Justice Department, meanwhile, said it wouldn't try to prevent Congress from granting immunity to White House liaison Monica Goodling if she testifies before a committee.
Lawmakers want to talk to Schlozman and Goodling as part of an inquiry into whether the department played politics with the hiring and firing of department officials. The inquiry began as a question about whether U.S. attorneys - presidential appointees who serve as the top federal law enforcement officials in their state districts - were fired for political reasons.
It has grown, however, into an investigation of whether the agency let politics affect criminal investigations and whether officials made employment decisions for political reasons.
Political interference questioned
Lawmakers want to question Schlozman, who now works for the Executive Office for United States Attorneys, about a voter fraud lawsuit he filed against Missouri in November 2005.
Committee members said they wanted to know whether U.S. Attorney Todd Graves of Kansas City, Mo., was forced out for not endorsing that lawsuit, which was ultimately dismissed. Graves resigned from his post in March 2006 and Schlozman replaced him as interim U.S. attorney.
Five days before the November 2006 election, Schlozman filed another lawsuit, this time accusing members of a liberal activist group of voter registration fraud. Justice Department policy discourages such lawsuits so close to the election.
"The committee would benefit from hearing directly from you in order to gain a better understanding of the role voter fraud may have played in the administration's decisions to retain or remove certain U.S. attorneys," Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., wrote in a letter co-signed by the committee's top Republican, Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania.
The letter asked Schlozman to voluntarily submit to interviews and testimony and provide documents to the committee.
Dean Boyd, a Justice Department spokesman, said politics do not influence decisions about whether to bring a case.
"The Justice Department brings its civil actions and criminal prosecutions based on evidence, not on politics," Boyd said. "We expect U.S. Attorneys to bring election and voter fraud cases where evidence of such fraud exists."
Immunity offer
The Justice Department is conducting an internal review of the firings of U.S. attorneys and other decisions. As part of that investigation, the agency is reviewing whether Goodling sought to place Republicans as front-line prosecutors in state U.S. attorney districts.
Lawmakers want to question Goodling but, without a promise of immunity, she has refused. In a letter to House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers, D-Mich., the department said it would prefer not to see an immunity deal.
"However, we understand the committee's interest in obtaining Ms. Goodling's testimony," the letter said. "Therefore, after balancing the significant public interest against the impact of the committee's actions on our ongoing investigation, we will not raise an objection or seek a deferral."
The letter was signed by Inspector General Glenn Fine and H. Marshall Jarrett, counsel to the Office of Professional Responsibility.
Committee lawyers must now send an immunity request to a federal judge for approval. Once that deal is approved, Goodling would face a contempt order if she refused to testify. Her lawyer, John M. Dowd, said Monday she would testify under such a deal.
"She'll be honest and clear and she'll work very hard to answer all questions," Dowd said.
Conyers said he would move quickly to ask a judge to approve the immunity deal and schedule a hearing.
A congressional aide, who spoke on condition of anonymity because no agreement on testimony had been reached, said lawmakers were planning to hold a hearing as early as next week and hoped to secure testimony from Schlozman.

Hi Carol, Oh these are so pretty and you are a girl after my own heart. I have these same vintage labels and been using them for awhile on lots of treasures including bottles. I found many great vintage bottles to redesign here at one of my favorite antique malls. Love your pretties!!
Also, I passed on your home tour post to my friend who is going to move to the Orlando area. She went crazy for your lovely home and was interested in the paint colors on your walls. Especially the green shade. She asked me to find out from you if possible the color name you used. If you can share that, she would be so thankful.
Have a happy creative day.

Rite Window 160 Reviews
I had been putting offI had been putting off replacing my windows for 3 years dreading the high pitch sales, misleading quotes and now knowing who would do the actual install. When I decided I couldn't wait any longer I did my research again and what impressed me about Rite Window was the reviews. With only a few negatives what pleasantly surprised me was that everyone of those were answered by the owner even if it included an apology. From the salesperson coming out to the final install everything went perfectly. Each window looks and works great with not a drop of air coming in. Only the wait to get the install ( 8 weeks) was a negative which isn't even that because they are busy doing something right. ...

He came on a Saturday out to Winthrop, took a look at the issues with the window. he fixed one within minutes. The other took a bit of work in his truck, but he was able to get it functional for the first time in the years I had owned the condo!

Verizon Cameraphone Comparison Q2 2009
We compared the four cameraphones indoors under a wide variety of artificial lighting conditions, which reveals how their Automatic White Balance performs. We also took images of different color charts to see how each camera reproduces them.
The Omnia comes in 1st place as it has the best White Balance, color matching and most in-focus images of the four phones. The enV Touch is at 2nd, since images are sharp and have good detail, but some are a bit warm (red hue) when fluorescent lighting is used. The enV3 gets 3rd place, as images are warm with incandescent lighting and have a green hue with fluorescent lighting, but are sharper and less blurry the Exilim, which gets 4th place. This is because almost every picture taken inside by the Exilim came out blurry, which almost makes them look out-of-focus.

- EnV Touch: The enV Touch has good detail, but images taken under fluorescent lighting come out a bit warm.
- enV3: Not only does the enV3 have warm images with incandescent lighting, but fluorescent lighting produces a green hue, which mutes color.
- Exilim: The Exilim produces better colors indoors than the enV3 with different forms of lighting, but almost every image is blurry and looks out-of-focus.
Test 3b: Flash images taken indoors

Hmm..clearly the enVTouch has a much better camera than the enV3. Camera quality is important to me alot and actually most of my pictures are taken indoors.. But battery life is also very important and I'm deciding between the env3 and enVTouch so idk!! Help please! I'm a heavy texter but if the enVTouch's battery is THAT bad, maybe I should just get the env3 and deal with a lousy camera!? (I'm coming from a Motorla ZINE ZN5)

the env3 does definitely not have a lousy camera its great. i use it all the time it is really good. you should get the env3 because ts more durable and is really nice looking with great features

great comparisions...nice job phonearena.
6. PapaJay224 (Posts: 866; Member since: 08 Feb 2009)
Agreed it really puts it into perspective, It looked like the Env Touch shows up warm and pink (no vaj jokes) in most pictures. I have the omnia and I love it for pictures (not so much as a phone) and it takes great shots, Im glad to see I made the right choice with camera though...Im pretty dissapointed the Exilim didnt take the cake, it looks the most lagitamately like a camera from the back and its a 5.1 just a little better than the others...Its a good thing the egyptions didnt rush the pyramids.
4. enemyisyou (Posts: 44; Member since: 04 Jul 2009)
I agree with the comment about shooting some pictures of people. I primarily use my phone camera for taking pictures of my active 2-year-old. It'd be nice to see how these phones handle portraits and action shots....
8. behold--me (Posts: 650; Member since: 22 Jun 2009)
it doesnt matter about the mp capability of a camera phone it depends on the quality of the pics it takes phonearena proves that good job :)
12. Phone Geek (unregistered)
It is my understanding that the Lg enV Touch has the best video recording quality as well with 640X480 @ 30 fps. Is this correct? What phone that Verizon offers has the best video recoriding quality?
13. DJKuulA (Posts: 2; Member since: 20 Jul 2009)
Many of those indoor shots with the Touch are really red. Did using the Fluorescent white balance setting help that? Was that not tested at all?
14. PhoneArena Team (Posts: 258; Member since: 27 Jun 2006)
All the tested phones were used in Auto mode, since that is the default and will be what most consumers use. The red hue produced by the enV Touch when used indoors (under fluorescent lighting) can be reduced some by manually change the White Balance setting. You can also adjust it better using an image-editing program on your PC and lower the Red Gamma value slightly.

Hard to believe that the Casio photos were the most blurry. Sure that you didn't mistakenly have the image stabilizer off?

To embed, copy and paste the code into your website or blog:
On one day recently, the U.S. Supreme Court issued employer-friendly opinions in two separate and long-awaited cases interpreting Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (known simply as "Title VII"), the primary federal employment discrimination statute. While both cases change little about what employers should be doing day-to-day to prevent unlawful discrimination in the workplace, both may have profound effects on the ability of employers to successfully defend against Title VII claims. In fact, this was such a big day at the Supreme Court for labor and employment law that we're going to blog about it twice! Today, we blog about one of those cases, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center v. Nassar, in which the Court increased the burden of plaintiff's asserting retaliation claims under Title VII by requiring that they show their protected conduct was the "but for" cause of the adverse employment action.
Later in the week, we'll blog about the other case, Vance v. Ball State University, in which the Court narrowed the definition of "supervisor" to only those with actual authority to hire and fire employees, limiting the situations where employers can be liable for the discriminatory acts of lower-level employees.
Nassar Requires "But For" Causation In Title VII Retaliation Cases Based On That Statute's Structure
Title VII, as any reader of this blog probably knows, is the granddaddy of all federal anti-discrimination statutes. First enacted in 1964, its primary provision, 42 USC § 2000e-2, prohibits employers from taking employment action against employees "because of such individual's race, color, religion, sex, or national origin." In 1991, Congress amended Title VII to, among other things, lessen the burden of proof on causation; plaintiffs bringing discrimination claims under Title VII need only show that a discriminatory motive was "a motivating factor...even though other factors also motivated the practice." 42 USC § 2000e-2(m). In other words, plaintiffs need not show that a discriminatory animus on the part of a manager was the only or even primary motive behind the employment action—if the employee's race, gender, etc. was considered at all, the company could be liable for discrimination. (Section 2(m) did create affirmative defenses that allow the employer to avoid money damages in these so called "mixed motive" cases if it can show that it would have taken the adverse action anyway regardless of the discriminatory motivation).
In Nassar, the Court addressed plaintiff's causation burden under a different part of Title VII, Section 2000e-3, which prohibits retaliation, or taking employment action against employees "because" they oppose or complain about unlawful discrimination. 42 U.S.C. 2000e-3(a). Unlike the primary anti-discrimination provision in Section 2000e-2 and its "motivating factor" subsection (m), Section 2000e-3 does not contain any specific guidance on the burden required to show causation in a retaliation case. Relying on traditional judicial principles for interpreting statutes, and in the process rejecting as unpersuasive contrary guidance issued by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ("EEOC"), the Court reasoned that the difference in the two provisions showed Congress must have intended there be a different, higher causation standard in retaliation cases. Since the "because of" causation language in 2000e-3 was not modified further, the Court reasoned that Congress must have intended to apply to require the more traditional "but for" causation standard to retaliation applicable to most intentional tort causes of action (the common law analogue to statutory discrimination claims). Plaintiffs in Title VII retaliation cases therefore must show that the employer would not have taken the adverse action "but for" the fact the employee had engaged in protected conduct; in other words, that the retaliatory motive was the primary cause, not merely "a motivating factor." The Court also based its reasoning on an earlier case, Gross v. FBL Financial Services, Inc., 557 U.S. 167 (2009), in which it used a similar analysis to find that "but for" causation should be applied to age discrimination claims under a similarly-worded statute, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act ("ADEA"), which prohibits taking employment action "because of" age.
Possibly even more encouraging than this holding, the Nassar opinion goes on to note that the heightened causation burden applicable to Title VII retaliation claims would also help to serve an important public policy, namely helping courts winnow out dubious retaliation claims (in the Court's parlance, facilitating "the fair and responsible allocation of resources in the judicial and litigation systems"). The Court noted the explosion of retaliation lawsuits in recent years, and specifically described the situation—unfortunately likely all too familiar to some employers—of the troubled employee facing discipline or termination who tries to manufacture a retaliation claim by invoking unrelated complaints of discrimination. If the Court were to apply the lesser "a motivating factor" causation standard, it noted that it would be too easy for employees to file meritless retaliation claims and too hard for employers to get them dismissed before trial. It is refreshing and welcome to see the U.S. Supreme Court showing such an appreciation and concern for the practical effects its legal interpretations can have.
Reach of Nassar Beyond Title VII Retaliation Claims Is Unclear
Alas, Nassar does not address or alter the more permissive "motivating factor" causation standard that is still applicable to regular discrimination claims under Section 2000e-2 of Title VII. Also, because its analysis turns so heavily on the specific statutory structure of Title VII, it is not clear how applicable the reasoning will be with respect to other anti-retaliation statutes, such as, for example, Oregon's state law provisions equivalent to Title VII: ORS 659A.030(1)(a) (relating to discrimination) and (1)(f) (relating to retaliation). On the one hand, Supreme Court decisions on basic legal principles applicable to discrimination cases are often persuasive. Also, those Oregon statutes use similar "because of" causation language as Title VII and have no express "motivating factor" language similar to 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-2(m), suggesting that the higher "but for" causation standard might apply. Federal courts in Oregon may be particularly likely to analyze Oregon retaliation claims under the higher "but for" causation standard in Nassar, since Oregon District Courts typically apply the same legal standards to parallel discrimination claims under state and federal law. On the other hand, some Oregon state courts have interpreted Oregon's state anti-discrimination and anti-retaliation statutes to require that plaintiffs only show "substantial factor" causation, which is somewhere in between the permissive "motivating factor" and heightened "but for" causation.
At any rate, the Nassar decision at least will likely provide much-needed help to employers facing retaliation claims under Title VII, and possibly under other statutes as well. Stay tuned later in the week when we turn our attention to the Supreme Court's other big recent Title VII decision, Vance v. Ball State University.

Show exif data directly from photos in your blog. This plugin examines the jpg or tiff photo for exif data and lets you display the interesting ones.
While other plugins gets the exif data from the WordPress database, KLEX get the data directly from the image file. This means that KLEX works on all photos that contains exif data, and not only photos uploaded to your blog using WordPress upload functionality. The photo does not even have to be stored locally. KLEX can examine any jpg or tiff photo, if you provide the url.
Insert the KLEX tag (format: [KLEX pic="http://www.example.com/image.jpg"]) and it will be replaced by something like this in your WordPress post: Canon EOS 5D Mark II Lens: EF24-105mm f/4L IS USM f/4.0 Shutter: 1/125 sec Focal Length: 70 mm ISO: 3200
Be aware not all camera makes provides the exif data that shows which lens was used. As an example exif from Nikon will look something like this: NIKON D5000 f/11.0 Shutter: 1/125 sec Focal Length: 125 mm ISO: 100
Exif data describes the make, model and settings of the camera at the time the photo was taken and is of great interest to most photo enthusiasts. KLEX shows only the most relevant exif data (Camera model, lens (when available), aperture, shutter speed, focal length and ISO) for two reasons. We don't want to drown the most interesting exif information in less relevant data and to avoid exif data taking up more space than the image itself.

Intel Ivy Bridge-E Core i7 High-End Desktop Processors Now Available For Sale
Last week, Intel announced their latest Ivy Bridge-E platform featuring the new Core i7 Extreme Edition CPUs for the HEDT enthusiasts. The Ivy Bridge-E processors are now officially available for sale and can be bought from any major retailer.
Intel Ivy Bridge-E Core i7 High-End Desktop Processors Now Available
The Ivy Bridge-E processors have a die size of 257mm2 with 1.86 billion transistors. The flagship Core i7-4960X has 15 MB of L3 cache shared across all cores. With Ivy bridge-E, the TDP has gone down and the performance has went up which is a good thing but we will have to wait to see how much performance has gone up since we have not received our review kit yet from Intel. As for compatibility, the entire Ivy Bridge-E lineup is compatible with the old and new X79/LGA 2011 socket based motherboards.
Model | Core i7-4960X | Core i7-4930K | Core i7-4820K |
Cores | 6 | 6 | 4 |
Threads | 12 | 12 | 8 |
Base Clock (GHz) | 3.6 GHz | 3.4 GHz | 3.7 GHz |
Turbo Clock (GHz) | 4.0 GHz | 3.9 GHz | 3.9 GHz |
L3 Cache | 15 MB | 12 MB | 10 MB |
Memory | DDR3-1866 | DDR-1866 | DDR3-1866 |
Price | $990 ($1049.99 @Newegg) | $555 ($579.99 @Newegg) | $310 ($329.99 @Newegg) |
The flagship Intel Ivy Bridge-E CPU would be the Core i7-4960X packed with 6 cores and 12 threads and would feature a core clock of 3.6 GHz base and 4.0 GHz Turbo boost with 15 MB of L3 cache. The Extreme Edition CPU would cost $990 which is $60 less compared to Sandy Bridge-E based Core i7-3970X. Newegg is retailing the CPU for $1049.99 US.
The performance minded users would look forward to the Core i7-4930K with the same 6 core and 12 threads configuration however shipped with a lower core clock of 3.40 GHz base and 3.90 GHz with Turbo boost 2.0. The Core i7-4930K would feature 12 MB of L3 cache. The Core i7-4930K would cost $555 which is also cheaper than the $594 i7-3930K. Newegg is selling the model for $579.99 US.
Last of all is the entry level Core i7-4820K which will retail at $310 which is $5 higher than its predecessor but should be noted that it comes with an Unlocked multiplier. As you may note, this time Intel thought it was better off to ship their entry level HEDT CPU with an unlocked multiplier while the Sandy Bridge-E based Core i7-3820 didn't had an "K" unlocked design. Specifications wise, the Core i7-4820K ships with 4 Cores and 8 threads, 10 MB of L3 cache and 3.70 GHz base and 3.90 GHz Turbo frequency. Newegg is selling out the Core i7-4820K for $329.99 US.

I got the blood yesterday. It flows in one drop at a time at a rate of 125 drops a minute. Basically, that shot the day. I wonder where the blood goes? I'm surprised that people don't pop. I didn't feel a whole lot better yesterday, mostly because I was running a fever, but today I felt pretty good and strong enough to plant a lot of bulbs with Susie. There are still so many more to go! Susie did a lot of visiting with Grandma, and we went to dinner at Pat's. Uncle Carroll and Rodney Love were down (they came to visit Grandma), and we had a very nice visit with them, Pat and Alan, and Don.

This is your resource to discuss support topics with your peers, and learn from each other.
For me the dock did not remain empty. What was back in the dock were the original message,contacts,calendar and Browser Icons. I dragged all but the browser off to a folder I created elsewhere and moved my Bridge Icons back in to the dock, then spent about 10 minutes arranging everything back to the way I had it. It is working flawlessly now. In any event, I cannot see that anybody has lost anything as a result of implementating this "fix". The alternative is to reinstall from scratch, and in that case I believe you will lose everything.
This procedure of moving everything to the dock area doesn't fix the bug that caused the problem in the first place, hopefully RIM will be able to track it down and rectify it. In the meantime however, it does seem to reverse the resulting damage that occured as a result of the bug.
As I mentioned before, backup everything with Blackberry Desktop Manager before attempting any kind of fix.
Good luck!
By the way, you must copy every app and every folder to the dock before restarting the Playbook. I suspect the person who did not have success with the procedure (as you identified on Crackberry) may have only dragged the Icons from the main page. Empty the main or first page ten scrill to the right and get rid of those too. Keep on doing untill all pages are empty!
cos i'd only had the book less than a day i just did a security wipe and started again. thanks for your help today :-)

You did right. That problem was reported as a rare bug in the beta 2.1. I wouldn't want it to become a fix-all for lost icons til someone explains how it works.

motor wiring question on maytag washer
Model Number: LAT9334AAE Brand: Maytag Age: More than 10 years
Motor burned out on our maytag, so I purchased a new one here (part No. 12002351). Question is the wiring seems a bit different. Instructions and wiring on new motor are different than existing motor. there is a plug connector wiring harness that connects to the new motor. The problem is on the photos in the instructions it shows four wires coming down from the top of the red, yellow, black, white. My washer has 5 a black, red, yellow, white, and blue. so I have now idea where the blue wire is connected on this. I did recheck to make sure I ordered the right motor I did get the right motor. Also the plug connector harness has two additional wires coming out a brown and another white but says these are used only in a two speed motor which is not what I have and should be disregarded. any help would be appreciated.

Maytag is notorious for changing this stuff and not providing the technical information necessary to do the repair. Even worse, they now have eliminated access to their tech site.
I can only suggest you try to contact Maytag and see if they will send you a tech bulletin on how to hook it up.

A little more information on this from thoran
I have tracked down another picture of a plug connector harness which I am posting as picture one, picture two shows the plug harness that comes with this unit note the wiring color differences and positons as far as I can tell the motors are the same. could I wire it according to the 5 wire plug the wires would work I would just have to change the colors that match up. My main harness coming down from the top of the machine has wht, blk, red, yellow, and blue.

I cannot get the pic to come up (something about protection built into the site) but unless you can follow the wiring with a circuit diagram and are absolutely sure of what you are doing I would go back to my earlier advice.
