Look out, Mars: Here we come with a fleet of spacecraft
Mars is about to be invaded by planet Earth — big time. Three countries — the United States, China and the United Arab Emirates — are sending unmanned spacecraft to the red planet in quick succession beginning this week, in the most sweeping effort yet to seek signs of ancient microscopic life while scouting out the place for future astronauts. The U.S., for its part, is dispatching a six-wheeled rover the size of a car, named Perseverance, to collect rock samples that will be brought back to Earth for analysis in about a decade.

Ready or not: Election costs soar in prep for virus voting
"Election officials don't have nearly the resources to make the preparations and changes they need to make to run an election in a pandemic," said Wendy Weiser, head of the democracy program at the Brennan Center for Justice. The pandemic has sent state and local officials scrambling to prepare for an election like few others, an extraordinary endeavor during a presidential contest, as virus cases continue to rise across much of the U.S. There are also costs to ensure in-person voting is safe with personal protective equipment, or PPE, for poll workers, who tend to be older and more at risk of getting sick from the virus, and training for new workers.

Activists seek to decriminalize 'magic' mushrooms in DC
The posters started blanketing light posts just a few weeks after the city entered what would be a monthslong stay-at-home order. Vividly colored and bearing a three-headed mushroom, they asked Washingtonians to "reform laws for plant and fungi medicines" by making natural psychedelics "the lowest level police enforcement priority." It was the start of an underdog campaign that just managed a truly improbable political feat: a successful grassroots petition drive conducted entirely under pandemic lockdown conditions.

Feds to execute 1st inmate in 17 years for Arkansas murders
The federal government is planning to carry out the first federal execution in nearly two decades on Monday, over the objection of the family of the victims and after a volley of legal proceedings over the coronavirus pandemic. Daniel Lewis Lee, of Yukon, Oklahoma, is scheduled to die by lethal injection at 4 p.m. on Monday at a federal prison in Indiana. The execution, the first of a federal death row inmate since 2003, comes after a federal appeals court lifted an injunction on Sunday that had been put in place last week after the victims' family argued they would be put at high risk for coronavirus if they had to travel to attend the execution.

'Let's get going': UK tells businesses to prepare for Brexit crunch
Britain is urging businesses and individuals to prepare for the Dec. 31 end of the Brexit transition period with an information campaign titled: "The UK's new start: let's get going." Britain left the European Union on Jan. 31, three and a half years after a referendum, but a transition period has delayed any major change in the relationship. Cabinet Minister Michael Gove said on Sunday progress was being made in talks but there were still divisions.

'Against the refugees': Aid groups condemn U.N. decision to limit Syrian aid crossings
The United Nations Security Council on Saturday adopted a resolution that leaves only one of two border crossings open for aid deliveries from Turkey into Syria. "The veto is against us," Mustafa Alkaser told NBC News from a refugee camp in Syria's northwestern Idlib province. "It's against the refugees, against the free Syrians who once stood up against Bashar al-Assad and demanded their freedom and dignity," he said Sunday in a telephone interview.

Appeals court: 1st federal execution in 17 years can proceed
A federal appeals court ruled Sunday that the first federal execution in nearly two decades may proceed as scheduled on Monday. The ruling from the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overturns a lower court order that had put the execution of 47-year-old Daniel Lewis Lee on hold. Lee, of Yukon, Oklahoma, had been scheduled to die by lethal injection on Monday at a federal prison in Indiana.

Britons whose passports expire in next year should apply for new one now to prepare for post-Brexit travel
Millions of Britons whose passports are due to expire in the next year are being urged to apply for a new one now, as part of a stepping up of efforts to prepare for the end of the Brexit transition period. Holidaymakers travelling to popular European destinations from Jan 1 will be required to have six months validity on their travel documents, which is likely to cause a stampede of renewals at UK passport offices. It's estimated that some five million UK citizens have passports which are valid for less than a year, meaning they should act now in order to travel in the new year. Those who do not renew in time will "not be able to travel to most EU countries" as well as Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland. It comes as the Government today (Mon) launches a new £93 million public information campaign "The UK's new start: let's get going" to help Britons prepare for life outside the EU. Adverts will be launched across television, radio and online, with key information also relayed by text message. One such change means that those planning to go abroad with pets in January will need to act by September to ensure they are able travel.

21 injured in fire aboard ship at Naval Base San Diego
Twenty-one people suffered minor injuries in an explosion and fire Sunday on board a ship at Naval Base San Diego, military officials said. The blaze was reported shortly before 9 a.m. on USS Bonhomme Richard, said Mike Raney, a spokesman for Naval Surface Force, U.S. Pacific Fleet. Rear Adm. Philip Sobeck, commander of Expeditionary Strike Group 3, told the San Diego Union-Tribune that the Navy thinks the fire began somewhere in a lower cargo hold where marine equipment and vehicles are stored.

Protests in Israel and record death toll in Iran as coronavirus cases surge across Middle East
Benjamin Netanyahu has promised to provide financial support for Israelis who lost their livelihoods due to lockdown after more 80,000 people protested his government's economic response to the coronavirus over the weekend. Tens of thousands of protesters gathered in Tel Aviv on Saturday to voice their frustration with Mr Netanyahu, who won praise for his early response to the outbreak but has come under criticism amid a severe fresh outbreak in cases. Mr Netanyahu did not acknowledge the Tel Aviv protest ahead of his weekly cabinet meeting, but promised that financial help was on the way, starting with cash handouts of up to 7,500 shekels (£1,700) to the self-employed. "This support, this grant, is not dependent on legislation and we have instructed that it be put into effect today. The button will be pressed and the money will reach accounts in the coming days," he said. Unemployment surged to a record 20 per cent in Israel after the economy was shut down to help tackle the coronavirus, while some business owners complained they did not receive enough financial support from the government and as a result could still go bankrupt. According to Israeli media reports, at least six per cent of the Israeli population has caught coronavirus but the true proportion could be much higher. The infection rate currently stands at around 1,000 cases per day, far higher than the previous peak of 700 in March. Israeli officials are said to be considering a second lockdown if the number of daily cases exceeds 2,000 this week. It came as coronavirus infections surged across the Middle East and the economic damage caused by the pandemic began to become clear. Iraq, Lebanon and Iran are also struggling with severe economic crises and record infection rates, with Iran reporting 221 deaths in just 24 hours, marking a new record death roll.

Michael Gove rules out compulsory masks in shops - but Downing Street says policy could still change
Face masks should not be made mandatory in shops, Michael Gove has said, despite Downing Street's insistence the policy is still under review and could be introduced. Mr Gove warned against introducing a "binary divide" by making masks obligatory in public, stressing that face masks are "significantly less important outdoors...than indoors". People should be allowed to use their own judgement to decide whether a mask is appropriate in different situations, he said, warning that some people could think they are invincible while wearing a mask. "I think people are intelligent, I think people can understand that this is a novel virus with specific challenges," he told Sky's Sophy Ridge on Sunday programme. "I think it's quite right to treat people with the respect that their intelligence and judgment deserves." "It mustn't be the case that anyone thinks that wearing a face mask would make you invulnerable." Mr Gove said the masks should be worn out of consideration for others, even if they are not made mandatory. But Downing Street said the option to make masks compulsory was still on the table, suggesting the Prime Minister may think it will soon become necessary to force people to wear them. The risk of transmission of the virus indoors is reduced between people who are wearing face coverings, evidence suggests. "It is something which is under review and if the decision to make it mandatory is taken that will be announced in due course," a No10 source said. Speaking in a Facebook video on Friday, Boris Johnson suggested the Government had plans to increase the proportion of people wearing masks in public. "We are looking at ways of making sure that people really do have face coverings in shops," he said. "The balance of scientific opinion seems to have shifted more in favour of them than it was, and we're very keen to follow that". "We need to be stricter in insisting that people wear face coverings in confined spaces where they are meeting people they don't usually meet." Face coverings have been compulsory in shops in Scotland since July 10. The masks are also compulsory on trains, buses and the London Underground, but the British Transport Police said it preferred to enforce the rules by "engaging with the public and explain the reasons why the protections are necessary and a lawful requirement". Fines have been issued to repeat offenders and some arrests have been made, a spokeswoman said. The Labour Party signalled its support for masks to become compulsory in shops, but not in bars and restaurants, which it said would be impractical. Lucy Powell, a shadow business minister, accused the Government of "showing a bit of leg" by suggesting it would enforce face mask guidelines, but not announcing any change of policy. "We do need to get a lot more confidence back in the system and if the mandatory wearing of face masks in shops will help to do that then we absolutely support it," she said. "We think the Government - instead of just showing a bit of leg occasionally on these things by briefing newspapers or saying things that are not clear guidance in press conferences as the Prime Minister did on Friday - [should] get some clarity. "That's really something that would get confidence back into the system and get people feeling that they can go to the shops, they can go to restaurants and go to bars." On Saturday, Mr Johnson was pictured wearing a mask during a visit to a pub and barber in his constituency. The Prime Minister chose to wear a light blue cloth mask that matched his party's branding. It was the first time Mr Johnson has been photographed wearing a mask, following concern that Government ministers were discouraging mask usage by not wearing them in public. Rishi Sunak, the Chancellor, was criticised for not wearing one while serving food at Wagamama in a photo opportunity following last week's budget announcement, while Sir Keir Starmer, the Labour leader, did not cover his face while being photographed at a Brewdog pub. Donald Trump, the US President, was pictured in a face mask on an official visit for the first time over the weekend, while Angela Merkel, the German chancellor, has been seen wearing a Government-branded face covering.

Maryland governor says GOP needs 'bigger tent' after Trump
A Republican governor rumored to be eyeing a run for the White House in 2024 said Sunday that the GOP needs to be a "bigger tent party" after President Donald Trump leaves office. Maryland's Larry Hogan, who has been known to break with Trump, told NBC's "Meet the Press" that he doesn't "know what the future holds in November." "But I know that the Republican Party is going to be looking at what happens after President Trump and whether that's in four months or four years," Hogan said.

Bavarian governor emerges as the front-runner to succeed Merkel as Chancellor in Germany
A German politician until recently seen as a rank outsider to replace Angela Merkel as Chancellor is suddenly the frontrunner, according to a series of opinion polls. Markus Söder, state leader in Bavaria, is seen by the public as the best candidate for the job, with 64 percent of voters saying he is suited to the role, ahead of Social Democrat Olaf Scholz on 48 percent. Meanwhile a separate poll released over the weekend found that in a head-to-head against Mr Scholz or popular Green leader Robert Habeck, Mr Söder would come out on top. The other two leading conservative contenders, Friedrich Merz and Armin Laschet, both members of Ms Merkel's CDU, would lose to left-wing opposition in next year's election, the poll found. Mr Söder, leader of the Christian Social Union (CSU), the Bavarian sister party to the CDU, has been sending out mixed messages for weeks. While sticking to an insistence that his "place is always in Bavaria", he has said that the next Chancellor "needs to have proved himself during the pandemic." Mr Merz has had no official role during the crisis, while Mr Laschet is widely regarded to have botched the pandemic response in his state, North Rhine-Westphalia. The only conservative other than Mr Söder to have come out of the crisis well, Health Minister Jens Spahn, is supporting Mr Laschet's candidacy. Despite Bavaria's prominence as the wealthiest federal state, a Bavarian has never held power in Berlin. Bavarian candidates have only run for the Chancellery twice - in 1980 and 2002 - but on both occasions young CDU leaders gave way in the belief that they faced likely defeat to a sitting Social Democrat Chancellor. In 1980 Chancellor Helmut Schmidt was able to defeat Franz Josef Strauß when Helmut Kohl sat out the race, and in 2002 Gerhard Schröder won against Edmund Stoiber, with a young Ms Merkel choosing not to run. The circumstances in 2021 would be markedly different. The next candidate would take over from a popular Chancellor, with the party on close to 40 percent approval, far ahead of the Greens on 20 percent and the Social Democrats in the doldrums on 16 percent. Reputedly fiercely ambitious, the 53-year-old Mr Söder manoeuvred himself to power in Bavaria in the wake of the refugee crisis by lambasting Berlin for failing to stem the number of refugees crossing the border. While previously a polarising figure with a low national approval rating, his handling of the corona epidemic has seemed decisive. He was the first state leader who announced a comprehensive lockdown, pushing the rest of the country to follow suit. He has also made national headlines by offering a coronavirus test to any Bavarian who wishes to have one, a break from the national policy of targeted testing. With the Chancellery there for the taking, CDU politicians have failed to impress. Mr Merz, a business friendly candidate who left frontline politics at the start of the century, has struggled for attention during the pandemic. Mr Laschet, whose state has faced repeated local outbreaks, is seen as having pushed too aggressively for an end to the lockdown. END

Iran's Khamenei urges fight against 'tragic' virus resurgence
Iran's supreme leader Sunday called the resurgence of the novel coronavirus in the country "truly tragic" and urged all citizens to help stem what has been the region's deadliest outbreak. "Let everyone play their part in the best way to break the chain of transmission in the short term and save the country," Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said in a video conference with lawmakers, according to his office. Iran has been struggling to contain the outbreak since announcing its first cases in February, and has reported more than 12,800 deaths since then.

In Commuting Stone's Sentence, Trump Goes Where Nixon Was Not Willing
WASHINGTON -- President Donald Trump has said he learned lessons from President Richard Nixon's fall from grace, but in using the power of his office to keep his friend and adviser Roger Stone out of prison he has now crossed a line that even Nixon in the depths of Watergate dared not cross.For months, senior advisers warned Trump that it would be politically self-destructive if not ethically inappropriate to grant clemency to Stone, who was convicted of lying to protect the president. Even Attorney General William Barr, who had already overruled career prosecutors to reduce Stone's sentence, argued against commutation in recent weeks, officials said.But in casting aside their counsel on Friday, Trump indulged his own sense of grievance over precedent to reward an ally who kept silent. Once again, he challenged convention by intervening in the justice system undermining investigators looking into him and his associates, just days after the Supreme Court ruled that he went too far in claiming "absolute immunity" in two other inquiries.Democrats condemned the commutation of Stone's 40-month prison term and vowed to investigate. Speaker Nancy Pelosi, calling the move an act of "staggering corruption," said she would pursue legislation to prevent the president from using his power to protect those convicted of a cover-up on his own behalf, although that would face serious constitutional hurdles and never be signed into law by Trump.Still, Trump's action was too much even for some Republican critics of the president, who called it an abuse of power intended to subvert justice. "Unprecedented, historic corruption: an American president commutes the sentence of a person convicted by a jury of lying to shield that very president," Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah wrote on Twitter.Sen. Patrick Toomey of Pennsylvania objected too, noting that Stone was "duly convicted" of obstructing a Republican-led congressional inquiry. "While I understand the frustration with the badly flawed Russia-collusion investigation, in my view, commuting Roger Stone's sentence is a mistake," he said. Any objections to his prosecution, he added, "should be resolved through the appeals process."Trump defended his decision after a day at his golf club Saturday. "Roger Stone was treated horribly," he told reporters. "Roger Stone was treated very unfairly." He would not say if he would pardon other campaign advisers, but said the investigators should be prosecuted. "Those are the people that should be in trouble."Trump had long publicly floated the possibility of clemency for allies targeted by prosecutors, including Stone, his former national security adviser Michael Flynn and former campaign chairman Paul Manafort. That by itself was interpreted by critics as witness tampering, in effect promising intervention to allies if they refused to cooperate with investigators against him.By contrast, one associate who did cooperate, Michael Cohen, his former lawyer who arranged hush money for women claiming extramarital affairs with Trump, was locked up again on Thursday after federal authorities demanded that he agree not to publish a tell-all book in September, deeming it a violation of the terms of his early release.While Trump has granted clemency to political allies and others with ties to his White House, he had until now deferred to advisers urging him not to use it for Stone or others caught up in investigations of the president's campaign ties to Russia.Barr, who has assailed the Russia investigation and moved to drop the case against Flynn even though he pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI, nonetheless objected privately to a commutation for Stone, officials said. In an interview with ABC News this past week, Barr said clemency was "the president's prerogative" but called Stone's prosecution "righteous" and the final sentence "fair." Trump, who lately has styled himself as a "law and order" president, cut the Justice Department out of his decision, officials said.While Republican leaders kept quiet, some of the president's staunch supporters cheered him on, saying Trump was properly countering the excesses of overzealous prosecutors."In my view it would be justified if President @realDonaldTrump decided to commute Roger Stone's prison sentence," Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, wrote on Twitter. "Mr. Stone is in his 70s and this was a nonviolent, first-time offense." (Stone is actually 67.)Under the Constitution, the president's pardon power is expansive, explicitly limited only in that it applies to federal crimes, not to state prosecutions or impeachments. As far back as the 19th century, the Supreme Court ruled that "Congress can neither limit the effect of his pardon nor exclude from its exercise any class of offenders" and as recently as 1974 said the president had "unfettered executive discretion" in granting clemency.While House Democrats vowed to investigate Trump's decision, some lawyers said Congress had no authority to. "I understand the implications for the justice system, but just as a matter of constitutional law, I don't see how they get into this," said Stanley Brand, a former House counsel under a Democratic speaker.Still, Brand and other lawyers said Stone's commutation could theoretically be interpreted as an impeachable offense if granted out of corrupt self-interest, although it seemed unlikely that the House would impeach Trump a second time."The president's pardon power does not extend to nullifying the rule of law for his own cronies to shield from public scrutiny his own obstruction of justice," said Harold Hongju Koh, a Yale Law School professor and lawyer in President Barack Obama's administration.The history of presidential clemency is replete with disputes over the propriety of relief from the nation's highest office.Just days before the 1992 election, Lawrence E. Walsh, the independent counsel investigating the Iran-Contra affair, filed a new indictment against former Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger revealing notes contradicting President George H.W. Bush's account of his involvement. Bush considered that a dirty trick by Walsh to influence the election and indeed he was defeated days later.Bush responded the next month to what he considered an illegitimate prosecution by pardoning Weinberger and five others, prompting Walsh to complain that "the Iran-Contra cover-up, which has continued for more than six years, has now been completed."President Bill Clinton issued a raft of more than 175 pardons or commutations on his last day in office in 2001, including for his own half brother Roger Clinton and several former administration officials. Also pardoned was Susan McDougal, a former business partner from Arkansas who spent 21 months behind bars for refusing to cooperate with the independent counsel Ken Starr's investigation of the Whitewater land venture.Unlike the case with Stone, Clinton acted only after McDougal had already served her sentence and been released. With the Whitewater investigation wrapped up, Clinton faced no legal risk at that point.The bigger furor arose over his pardon of financier Marc Rich, who had fled the country to avoid charges of evading million in taxes and obtained clemency after his ex-wife, Denise Rich, a Democratic donor, contributed money to Clinton's presidential library. Democrats joined Republicans in condemning the pardon and Clinton later expressed regret because of "the terrible politics."Jack Goldsmith, a Harvard Law School professor and Justice Department official under President George W. Bush, said those cases could be seen as parallels to Stone's commutation but pointed to the larger pattern under Trump. In 31 of his 36 pardons or commutations, he noted, Trump advanced his political goals or benefited someone with a personal connection, whose case had been brought to his attention by television or was someone he admired for their celebrity."This has happened before in a way," Goldsmith said. "But there has been nothing like Trump from a systematic perspective."John Q. Barrett, a former Iran-Contra prosecutor, said Trump's action was more objectionable than Bush's. "This is much, much more brazen and almost transactionally criminal," he said in an email. "Deferred payment for toughing it out/silence."One president who dared not use his pardon power in such a way was Nixon, although he considered it. Nixon's associates paid hush money and dangled the prospect of clemency to the Watergate burglars to buy their silence but that was off the table once the Watergate story broke open.Likewise, Nixon secretly promised to pardon three lieutenants, H.R. Haldeman, John Ehrlichman and John Mitchell, the day after Senate hearings opened in 1973."I don't give a shit what comes out on you or John, even that poor, damn, dumb John Mitchell," he told Haldeman in a conversation captured on his taping system. "There is going to be a total pardon."Haldeman sensed danger. "Don't even say that," he warned."Forget you ever heard it," Nixon replied.He never followed through. Haldeman, Ehrlichman and Mitchell were indicted in 1974 and accused of making "offers of leniency, executive clemency, and other benefits" to obstruct justice. All three went to prison.Nixon resigned that August without using his pardon pen. But he received one himself a month later from President Gerald Ford, who wanted to spare the country the spectacle of a former president on trial, only to trigger a backlash that helped cost him the 1976 election."I think Nixon understood the power of the public and did his crimes in private, not in public, to avoid political consequences," said Jill Wine-Banks, a Watergate prosecutor. "He was right then. Look what happened to Ford. But Trump sees no consequences."This article originally appeared in The New York Times.(C) 2020 The New York Times Company

City mulls razing site where 1st Alaska flag flew
The fate of one of Alaska's most historic yet neglected structures could be decided Monday as city officials in Seward weigh whether to demolish a former Methodist boarding school where the Alaska territorial flag was first flown almost a century ago and where its Alaska Native designer lived. Benny Benson was among the orphans and displaced children who lived at the Jesse Lee Home, many of whom were sent there after the Spanish flu devastated Alaska Native villages.

Trump rips private Texas border wall built by his supporters
President Donald Trump on Sunday criticized a privately built border wall in South Texas that's showing signs of erosion months after going up, saying it was "only done to make me look bad," even though the wall was built after a months-long campaign by his supporters. The group that raised money online for the wall promoted itself as supporting Trump during a government shutdown that started in December 2018 because Congress wouldn't fund Trump's demands for a border wall. Former Trump chief strategist Steve Bannon joined the group's board and Trump ally Kris Kobach became its general counsel.

As virus rages in US, New York guards against another rise
As coronavirus rages out of control in other parts of the U.S., New York is offering an example after taming the nation's deadliest outbreak this spring — while also trying to prepare in case another surge comes. New York's early experience is a ready-made blueprint for states now finding themselves swamped by the disease. Gov. Andrew Cuomo has offered advice, ventilators, masks, gowns and medicine to states dealing with spikes in cases and hospitalizations and, in some places, rising deaths.

Virus spread, not politics should guide schools, doctors say
"There's nothing in the data that suggests that kids being in school is in any way dangerous," she told Chris Wallace on "Fox News Sunday." Do students live with aged grandparents? Do infected children easily spread COVID-19 to each other and to adults?

'Moving target': Schools deal with new plans, Trump demands
Last week, President Donald Trump and his administration demanded schools fully reopen right away, calling for new guidance from federal health officials and slamming schools that want to bring students back for only a few days a week. Here is a look at what several school districts are planning and discussing. Like many schools, the Forth Worth Independent School District in Texas will give parents a choice between in-person and remote learning.

It's Trump's call on what the GOP convention will look like
After months of insisting that the Republican National Convention go off as scheduled despite the pandemic, President Donald Trump is slowly coming to accept that the late August event will not be the four-night infomercial for his reelection that he had anticipated. After a venue change, spiking coronavirus cases and a sharp recession, Trump aides and allies are increasingly questioning whether it's worth the trouble, and some are advocating that the convention be scrapped altogether. Already the 2020 event has seen a venue change –- to more Trump-friendly territory in Jacksonville, Florida, from Charlotte, North Carolina -- and it has been drastically reduced in scope.

As US grapples with virus, Florida hits record case increase
With the United States grappling with the worst coronavirus outbreak in the world, Florida hit a grim milestone Sunday, shattering the national record for a state's largest single-day increase in positive cases. Deaths from the virus have also been rising in the U.S., especially in the South and West, though still well below the heights hit in April, according to a recent Associated Press analysis of data from Johns Hopkins University.

Trump, Biden try to outdo each other on tough talk on China
China has fast become a top election issue as President Donald Trump and Democrat Joe Biden engage in a verbal brawl over who's better at playing the tough guy against Beijing. The Trump campaign put out ads showing Biden toasting China's Xi Jinping, even though Trump did just that with Xi in Asia and hosted the Chinese leader at his Florida club. Spots from the Biden campaign feature Trump playing down the coronavirus and praising Xi for being transparent about the pandemic, even though it's clear China hid details of the outbreak from the world.

Iran blames bad communication, alignment for jet shootdown
A misaligned missile battery, miscommunication between troops and their commanders and a decision to fire without authorization all led to Iran's Revolutionary Guard shooting down a Ukrainian jetliner in January, killing all 176 people on board, a new report says. The report released late Saturday by Iran's Civil Aviation Organization comes months after the Jan. 8 crash near Tehran. Authorities had initially denied responsibility, only changing course days later after Western nations presented extensive evidence that Iran had shot down the plane.

Iran says misaligned radar led to Ukrainian jet downing
Iran said that the misalignment of an air defence unit's radar system was the key "human error" that led to the accidental downing of a Ukrainian passenger plane in January. "A failure occurred due to a human error in following the procedure" for aligning the radar, causing a "107-degree error" in the system, the Iranian Civil Aviation Organisation (CAO) said in a report late Saturday. This error "initiated a hazard chain" that saw further errors committed in the minutes before the plane was shot down, said the CAO document, presented as a "factual report" and not as the final report on the accident investigation.

Nearly 600,000 vote in Hong Kong pro-democracy primaries
Hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong residents turned up over the weekend to vote in an unofficial primary election held by the city's pro-democracy camp as it gears up to field candidates for an upcoming legislative poll. The primaries were held two weeks after Beijing imposed a sweeping national security law on the semi-autonomous territory in a move widely seen as chipping away at the "one country, two systems" framework under which Britain handed Hong Kong over to China in 1997. It was passed in response to last year's massive protests calling for greater democracy and more police accountability.

Exit poll: Duda leads Poland's tight presidential runoff
A late exit poll in Poland's presidential runoff Sunday showed the conservative, populist incumbent, Andrzej Duda, leading against the liberal, pro-Europe mayor of Warsaw, but with the race still too close to call. It appeared to be the closest election in Poland's history, reflecting the deep divisions in this European Union nation. The late exit poll by the Ipsos institute showed Duda with 50.8% of the vote and challenger Rafal Trzaskowski with 49.2%.

To slow the spread of the coronavirus, governments issued lockdowns to keep people at home. In Brazil, where there are over 1.6 million COVID-19 infections, at least 1.1 million cases of dengue have been reported, with nearly 400 deaths, according to the Pan American Health Organization. Dengue cases are likely to rise soon with the start of seasonal rains in Latin American countries like Cuba, Chile and Costa Rica, as well as the South Asian countries of India and Pakistan.

Mueller defends Russia probe, says Stone remains a felon
Former special counsel Robert Mueller sharply defended his investigation into ties between Russia and Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign, writing in a newspaper opinion piece Saturday that the probe was of "paramount importance" and asserting that a Trump ally, Roger Stone, "remains a convicted felon, and rightly so" despite the president's decision to commute his prison sentence. The op-ed in The Washington Post marked Mueller's first public statement on his investigation since his congressional appearance last July. It represented his firmest defense of the two-year probe whose results have come under attack and even been partially undone by the Trump administration, including the president's extraordinary move Friday evening to grant clemency to Stone just days before he was due to report to prison.

Trump wears mask in public for first time during pandemic
President Donald Trump wore a mask during a visit to a military hospital on Saturday, the first time the president has been seen in public with the type of facial covering recommended by health officials as a precaution against spreading or becoming infected by the novel coronavirus. Trump flew by helicopter to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in suburban Washington to meet wounded servicemembers and health care providers caring for COVID-19 patients. As he left the White House, he told reporters: "When you're in a hospital, especially ... I think it's a great thing to wear a mask."

Roger Stone has escaped punishment for his crimes. Trump is sending a signal
By commuting Stone's sentence, Trump is telling others who might commit crimes on his behalf that he's got their back At America's birth, when delegates in Virginia were debating whether to ratify the constitution, a politician called George Mason had an objection. Mason, who was influential over the development of the bill of rights, wondered whether the presidential pardon power was too broad. Might not the president encourage people who worked for him to commit crimes, and then pardon them? If he could, there would be essentially no check on a president's power to break the law. Given that sort of leeway, an unscrupulous president could "establish a monarchy, and destroy the republic".Mason's objection ought to concern us still today. Late on Friday, Donald Trump commuted the prison sentence of his longtime associate Roger Stone, all but guaranteeing that Stone will never face justice for crimes he committed while obstructing an investigation into the Trump campaign's links with WikiLeaks and the Russian intelligence agencies who attempted to tip the 2016 election in Trump's favor. Backlash to the decision has been swift, with Trump's fellow Republican Mitt Romney condemning the president's "unprecedented, historic corruption".It is not quite true to say that there is no precedent for Trump's act. As Mason foresaw, executive clemency has been misused by presidents throughout American history. George HW Bush pardoned six officials who had been involved in the Iran-Contra scandal – an act which may have been intended to cover up his own wrongdoing. George W Bush commuted the prison sentence of Lewis "Scooter" Libby, who obstructed a federal investigation into the illegal outing of a CIA operative who was critical of the Bush administration.This history doesn't make Trump's actions any less troubling. In fact, by revealing how little restraint there is on the use of executive clemency, it ought to make us worry how much further the president – whose disregard for political and constitutional norms truly is without precedent – might go in the future.Most presidents issue their most controversial pardons furtively, at the end of their terms in office. But Trump has reveled in his ability to toss aside the principle of the rule of law when it comes to his own allies. In 2017 he pardoned the former Arizona sheriff Joe Arpaio, who had violated the constitutional rights of countless Arizonans. During the Mueller investigation – which exposed evidence that Trump himself may have committed obstruction of justice, a crime for which he could still be charged after leaving office – the president issued a full pardon to Libby, seemingly with the sole purpose of sending the message that he would forgive those – like Stone – who committed obstruction to protect himself.A president who is willing to use executive clemency to forgive violations of constitutional rights and protect himself from the rule of law could become, as Mason foresaw, a monarch. At the Virginia ratifying convention, James Madison replied to Mason that such a president would surely face impeachment. But today's Republican party has made it clear that it will protect Trump from impeachment even in the face of overwhelming evidence of his abuses of power. Instead, by refusing to convict, they licensed Trump to double down.As America moves towards an election which Trump looks on course to lose, he is likely to become even less inhibited. The issuing of pardons and commutations for crimes already committed might pale in comparison with crimes yet to come. Trump could seek, once again, to sway the outcome of the election, promising pardons to his co-conspirators. He could order, as he did outside the White House, security forces to be used to disperse protesters who came into the streets in response, then issue pardons for any crimes tried by court martial or in Washington DC's highest court.The fact that Trump has rarely shown the focus, intelligence or competence necessary to pull off such a conspiracy is little comfort. What he lacks in these qualities he makes up for in brazenness, in loyal subordinates equally willing to subvert the rule of law, and in the possession of a compliant conservative politico-media apparatus that will rationalize any action he takes. He could do incalculable damage to confidence in American democracy and the rule of law before he is finally wrested from the White House.In this sense, Roger Stone is the canary in the coal mine. Trump's ability and willingness to commute his sentence is a reminder that for all its genius, the American founding left behind a structure which can be exploited and abused by an unscrupulous president. As we live through what are hopefully the dying days of the presidency of the most unscrupulous of them all, we have to remain on our guard. Partly because of his fears over the pardon power, George Mason ultimately became one of only three of the framers of the constitution to refuse to sign the final document, believing it created a blueprint for tyranny. Proving him wrong requires constant vigilance, now and in the future. * Andrew Gawthorpe is a historian of the United States at Leiden University

Trump's defiant help for Stone adds to tumult in Washington
President Donald Trump's intervention into a criminal case connected to his own conduct drew fierce rebukes Saturday from Democrats and a few lonely Republicans, with calls for investigations and legislation. Shortly before heading out Saturday morning for his Virginia golf club, Trump made unfounded accusations against his political foes while taking another swipe at special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation, which led to convictions for six Trump aides or advisers, including Stone, a larger-than-life political character who embraced his reputation as a dirty trickster. "Roger Stone was targeted by an illegal Witch Hunt that never should have taken place," Trump tweeted.

Israelis protest government's economic response to virus
Thousands of Israelis demonstrated in downtown Tel Aviv on Saturday, protesting what is widely seen as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's failure to address economic woes brought on by the coronavirus pandemic. With economic stress deepening in recent weeks, many Israelis think the government has not done enough to compensate hundreds of thousands of workers who lost their jobs as a result of restrictions and shutdowns. Unemployment has surged over 20%, and Netanyahu has seen his popularity plummet.

UN approves aid to Syria's rebel area through 1 crossing
Russia scored a victory for its ally Syria on Saturday by forcing the Security Council to limit humanitarian aid deliveries to the country's mainly rebel-held northwest to just one crossing point from Turkey, a move that Western nations say will cut a lifeline for 1.3 million people. Russia argues that aid should be delivered from within the country across conflict lines, and says only one crossing point is needed. U.N. officials and humanitarian groups argued unsuccessfully — along with the vast majority of the U.N. Security Council — that the two crossing points in operation until their mandate expired Friday were essential for getting help to millions of needy people in Syria's northwest, especially with the first case of COVID-19 recently reported in the region.

Iraq's PM takes step in battle against border corruption
Iraq's prime minister took a first step Saturday to combat cross-border corruption that has long plagued the country's frontiers as part of a reform plan to grapple with unprecedented financial shortfalls. Mustafa al-Kadhimi launched a campaign to recover "hundreds of millions" of Iraqi dinars in import tax revenue lost to bribery in the northern province of Diyala. In the first phase, security forces from the Interior Ministry will supervise the work of border guards to ensure proper payment of tariffs at the Mandili border crossing with Iran, he told reporters.

As news of George Zimmerman's acquittal spread through the media and cyberspace Sunday, it became clear that the trial may be over, but the hurt feelings — and the debate — linger on both sides.
In parks, church pews and diners across the country, people reflected on the decision reached by six women over 15 hours of deliberations: Zimmerman acted in self-defense when he fatally shot 17-year-old Trayvon on Feb. 26, 2012 in a Sanford gated community.
At the Orange County Convention Center, where the NAACP is in the opening weekend of its national convention, reaction to the verdict Sunday ranged from outrage and "heartbreak" to fear and acceptance.
"I'm a grandfather of 12, and I'm afraid for them," said Joseph Locust of New York City. "I would say they have to be super careful because of how people see them as a threat – even if they're just returning from the store with some Skittles. It's sad and disappointing."
Meanwhile, Zimmerman's older brother appeared in the media as the family representative and repeatedly addressed the question: What will the former Neighborhood Watch volunteer's next steps be?
In an interview on Fox News Sunday, Robert Zimmerman Jr. said it's too soon to know what life will be like for his brother now.
"I don't even know that he would really know how to answer that yet," Robert Zimmerman Jr. said. "You have to remember this is the first sunrise, in essence, of the first day of him living his life as a free and exonerated man. You know, so he's going to have to learn how to move about society, how to meaningfully engage people socially."
There were still plenty of people lamenting that freedom Sunday.
New Jersey resident Tony Phillips started his vacation early so he could be at the Seminole County courthouse for the reading of the verdict. He was so disheartened by the outcome that he connected with others on social media to find out where he could demonstrate his outrage peaceably.
So he came back to the courthouse Sunday afternoon, carrying a sign spray-painted black with a stencil of a hoodie and the now-ubiquitous refrain "Justice for Trayvon."
"I was hoping for at least manslaughter because a life was lost," 55-year-old Phillips said. He was joined by about a dozen demonstrators, brought together by the grass-roots group the Coalition for Justice for Trayvon.
A similar protest at Fort Mellon Park in Sanford continued into the evening with about 50 people present. It included a visit by Sanford police Chief Cecil Smith, who said all was quiet Sunday in the city.
"Everything has been peaceful and respectful, people are really looking out for one another," said Smith.
In Central Florida communities and online, the focus seemed to be shifting to rallies and events in the upcoming days, and an examination of both Florida law, and whether the U.S. Department of Justice should conduct a civil-rights investigation.
The Sanford Pastors Connection group has announced it will hold a public community prayer service Monday afternoon at New Life Word Church, 1311 Oak Ave., to encourage peace and unity, a city spokeswoman said. Sanford Mayor Jeff Triplett, City Manager Norton Bonaparte and Police Chief Cecil Smith are scheduled to attend.
Another group has called for a statewide day of action in Florida for Trayvon. Dream Defenders said it would demonstrate outside the Capitol building and other locations Tuesday in response to the Zimmerman verdict and other civil-rights issues.
And on NBC's Meet the Press Sunday, the Rev. Al Sharpton questioned Florida's "stand your ground" law, saying he considers it an "atrocity" that an unarmed child could be killed and the shooter successfully claim self-defense.
Sharpton, who, along with the Rev. Jesse Jackson, led thousands in marches and rallies in Sanford following Trayvon's death, said he's heading back to Sanford.
"I will convene an emergency call with preachers tonight to discuss next steps and I intend to head to Florida in the next few days," Sharpton said in a statement late Saturday.
In another show of support for Trayvon and disappointment in the verdict, nearly 450,000 people had signed an online petition by late Sunday calling for the U.S. Department of Justice to launch a civil-rights investigation. MoveOn.org partnered with the NAACP and urged people to sign on its site as well.
The petition, created by NAACP President Benjamin Todd Jealous, and addressed to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, calls for the DOJ to file "civil rights charges against Mr. Zimmerman for this egregious violation."
On Sunday afternoon, a DOJ spokesperson released statement, which read, in part:
"As the Department first acknowledged last year, we have an open investigation into the death of Trayvon Martin...Experienced federal prosecutors will determine whether the evidence reveals a prosecutable violation of any of the limited federal criminal civil rights statutes within our jurisdiction, and whether federal prosecution is appropriate in accordance with the Department's policy governing successive federal prosecution following a state trial."
In the NAACP petition, Jealous asserts: "The most fundamental of civil rights — the right to life — was violated the night George Zimmerman stalked and then took the life of Trayvon Martin..."

Have you seen My Neighbor Totoro? I hope so. If not, please do. It's the cutest movie EVER. Our daughter loves it, which pleases me greatly… because I've dreamed of throwing a Totoro themed birthday party since the time she was just a twinkle in our eyes.
Here are a few pictures of the simple Totoro-themed party that we threw for Cleo's 2nd birthday party. Everything came together in the end very nicely, with a lot of help from grandparents and friends. We planned a late morning party, so we just had cake and coffee. It was really nice to have coffee talk with friends in the park before the day got too warm.
Look at the great cake that my friend Vince helped me make! Actually, this one I did by myself, but he came over and helped me make a trial run cake. The vegan "buttercream" frosting recipe (see below) that he came up with looked better than this one did, but it was so very tasty. I used a Dr. Oetker's lemon cake mix, and instead of using eggs, I substituted 1 tablespoon flax meal mixed with 3 tablespoons warm water for each egg, which is turning out to be my favorite egg substitute. It came out really well! There's also a layer of organic blueberry jam in there between the cake layers serving as the filling. One of our guests wondered why I decided to make a cake that wasn't vegan. He looked pretty surprised that it actually was. And there was barely enough for all of the guests. Oops.
Vegan Buttercream Frosting
1 c Earth Balance margarine, at room temperature
3 c vegan confectioner's sugar
1-3 tbsp soy milk
1 tsp vanilla (Vince suggested flavoring it with fresh grated ginger! It was really good, but didn't play well with the cake flavors we had planned here)
food color
Using a hand mixer, beat the margarine until fluffy. Slowly add the sugar; it'll be crumbly. Add a tablespoon of soy milk and mix, adding more if necessary. Add vanilla, mix more. If you need more liquid, by all means, add more, but slowly. If desired, add food color. Now get to decorating! Makes about 3 1/2 cups.
Soot Sprites are abundant in Totoro's neighborhood.
I made about 40 of them, with fuzzy faux fur, felt for eyes affixed with embroidery thread. Very simple, too (see my instructions, below, to make your very own). Making them was a lot of fun, but seeing the looks on people's faces when presented with one was even better.
To make the Soot Sprites, trace 5″ circles (coasters work really well as a pattern here), and cut out 2 pieces for each sprite. The eyes are patterned by a quarter, and then use embroidery thread to affix them in a star pattern to one of the faux fur pieces (if you're into that. Dots would work too). After attaching the eyes, place the faux fur pieces right sides together, and tuck the furry ends in toward the middle of the sprite so that you don't see any fur sticking out. Pin the pieces together. Stitch around the edges (if you use a sewing machine for this, you will want a bigger needle and a longer stitch length. And you'll also want to dust it out really well after this project. If you've seen the movie, you know that Soot Sprites can be messy!), leaving about a half inch seam allowance. Be sure to leave a 2-inch opening! Turn the sprite right-side-out, and stuff with the stuffing of your choice. They would make really great bean bags, but I opted for stuffing. Light and fluffy! Hand stitch them up. Voila! A Soot Sprite is born!

You gotta love Washington, D.C., I suspect there isn't a greater source of amusement anywhere on the planet. Our leaders' penchant for slapstick is great, but nothing tops their phrasing for brilliance.
Where else could we find a continuation of current tax law called a "tax cut;" a minute reduction in a proposed colossal increase in future spending called a "spending cut;" families who make more than $250,000 a year "millionaires;" printing money to mask a severe recession "quantitative easing;" or the Fort Hood massacre "workplace violence"? This stuff is priceless. I should have been a political reporter, or at least a comedian (I know, what's the difference?). These guys make it too easy. I'll bet that if I covered Washington every day like AdvisorOne Washington bureau chief Melanie Waddell, I'd be chuckling all day long.
Fortunately, the financial folks often step up to provide their share of levity, especially those wacky folks at FINRA, SIFMA and the CFP Board. But wait: they're all in Washington, too. Coincidence? Hmmm. The latest "daffynition" to catch my eye comes from frequent contributor to the Occupy Seriousness cause SEC chair Mary Schapiro, who revved up an oldie but a goodie in a recent Bloomberg interview announcing that the Commission will issue a proposed fiduciary rule for brokers in the coming year, one that would be "business-model neutral, and allow brokers working with retail investors to sell proprietary products and charge commissions."
Schapiro's a pro, there's no doubt about it. While I believe that classic phrasing "business-model neutral" was actually coined by the lexicographers at SIFMA, Ms. Schapiro wields it with such grace and conviction as to make it her own. "Business-model neutral." It just sounds so fair, so reasonable, so balanced. Who could oppose such an idea, or any regulation that was based upon it? We wouldn't want to be "unfair," or "anti-business," or Earth-Mother forbid, "biased."
Here, I suppose, we've reached the point where it becomes clear why I'm not a political reporter, or even a comedian: I'm the nerd that can't keep himself from asking "But what are we really talking about here?" Is the problem that Dodd-Frank is addressing a lack of business-model neutrality? And is "business-model neutrality" the standard by which all, most, or even any of our existing laws or regulations are measured?
Perhaps I'm missing something here (this isn't the first time that notion has come up), but aren't our current drug laws patently biased toward legitimate drug companies and against sellers of heroin, crack cocaine and crystal meth? Personally, I agree with the late Nobel Laureate economist Milton Friedman that the vast majority of our drug problems would be solved by legalizing and regulating all drugs. And I've heard many good arguments in support of this position. But I've never once heard anyone suggest the our current drug laws be changed because they are aren't "business neutral."
How about our gun laws? I'm just guessing that makers of automatic weapons would sell a whole lot more of them if Americans weren't restricted from buying them, forcing many of us to buy guns from Colt and Smith & Wesson, who make non-automatic revolvers and pistols. Business-model neutral? Not on your life.
I'm sure the list could go on and on. It seems that business-model neutrality often takes a back seat when matters of public policy or safety are at stake, as it should.
Is protecting the investing public from deceptive, misleading or confusing sales practices really so different from other public policy issues that business neutrality should suddenly become the front-and-center issue?
Only in Washington—where allowing a homeowner to protect his family with the same AK-47 that apparently every bad guy from LA to Bagdad has is considered insane; but letting his retirement account be robbed blind by an "advisor" whom he thinks is his fiduciary is just business as usual. Like I said, you just can't make this stuff up.

Designers can come up with bizzare ideas and designs. One such design is the NapTV. As the name suggests, you can take a nap while watching this special TV. What is special? Well, this one is a chair cum TV. Don't raise your eyes in amazement yet. Let me enlighten you about its features. This one is a chair, a normal tool kind of structure, sit on it, read a book, watch TV, do anything you do sitting on a normal chair. But this one isn't normal. The added feature is that this chair has a TV attached to it underneath. You can watch the TV by tilting it sideways or can simply slide under this chair and watch the TV while you are taking rest. There are built-in speakers in this chair cum TV to give you crystal clear sound quality. There is a remote as well which comes with this innovative invention.
Well products like these surely change our lifestyle and while we are left thinking that how can someone be so creative, they seep into our lifestyles quite smoothly. I am sure this amazing NapTV will take the consumers liking instantly on its side and would be noticed in quite a lot of households. This one is particularly good for students, bachelors and young lots. Designed by Sung-kyu Nam, the NapTV is surely a wonder product.

Letters to Redmond
Readers weigh in on Linux and Windows Mobile.
Being from the Graphical Workstation camp, I've always found Windows on Intel
to be hard to use, not friendly and extremely counterproductive.
It demanded too much repetitive user input, had no "cron" daemon
for automating tasks, was incredibly slow, the standard database was difficult
to set up and one couldn't add any user extras without learning a formal programming
Yet the application programs were all clones of those found on high-end workstations
of the '80s.
The GUI interface was not zoomable, no virtual viewport and only one desktop.
Application windows were designed for the small-screen Apple Mac with drop-down
menus, a long way to move the mouse with today's 19-inch-plus screens.
Add to all that the long-term lack of multi-tasking and multi-user ability,
and you've got a system only a system seller and a time-wasting user would love.
Luckily Linux came along to save the day on Intel, PPC and M68K: A virtual
clone of a professional workstation on cheap hardware, yet fully customizable
to the CPU.
These days one can get the latency down to under 3ms, perfect for real-time
music and video mixing, and one can choose a low-memory window manager for maximizing
application performance.
Compared with Linux, Vista sounds like a real donkey. I'm glad that my work
demands I be very productive so I'll never have to use it.

Friendly Mobility
Congratulations to the author on what appears to be a very well researched article
Mobile Dogged by Reliability Issues," July 2007]. I agree wholeheartedly
with the comments contained in that story. Windows Mobile 5.0 (which I currently
use on my Treo 750) is user-friendly and there are tons of commercial and free
apps for devices running this OS. The Office Mobile and integration with Exchange
are also real productivity boosters.
On the downside, however, check any forum for users of this phone and you would
find a ton of complaints about the reliability, battery life, etc. The phone
basically has to be re-booted every other day.
Although I'm not joining the BlackBerry crowd, I'm really hoping that Microsoft
addresses most -- or at least some -- of the issues referred to in this article,
because they are truly representative of the problems WM5 users have to deal
with. I'm awaiting the announcement of an update to WM6 from either Vodaphone
(I bought an unlocked Vodaphone Treo 750) or Palm.

Microsoft on Monday gave notice that it will be ending support this year for the "workflows" component of SharePoint 2010 Online, as well as deprecating that component for SharePoint 2013 Online.
Don't call it a comeback (because that's not likely). But as Brien explains, there are three ways that today's smartphone market leaves the door open for Microsoft to bring Windows back to smartphones.
Microsoft last week described the confusion it is attempting to avoid by removing the client graphical user interface (GUI)-based controls to defer Windows 10 feature updates, starting with version 2004.

Active Duty Military
Armed Forces Tuition Assistance is a benefit paid to eligible members of the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, and Coast Guard. Congress has given each service the ability to pay up to 100% for the tuition expenses of its members.
Each service has its own criteria for eligibility, obligated service, application process and restrictions. This money is usually paid directly to the institution by the individual services.
Additionally active duty members may elect to use the MGIB "top-up" in addition to their service provided Tuition Assistance to cover high cost courses.
Tuition Assistance is not a loan; it should be viewed as money you have earned just like your base pay.
At Neumann University you can transfer up to 90 credits toward your bachelor's degree. Make sure you request your transcript from the branch of the service in which you served. From the Links below you can learn more about the tuition assistance you are eligible for, and how to request your transcripts.
For assistance and questions, please contact the Office of Graduate & Adult Admissions by calling 610-361-5208 or (800) 9-NEUMANN or feel free to e-mail us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The media industry, both globally and nationally, is in turmoil. Since the turn of the century new technology has disrupted the sector, changed business models, removed the its former position in society and as a result, the meaning and value of news is now being analysed by the Leveson Inquiry.
Under such circumstances you'd expect the CIO of a major newspaper publisher to be anything but positive, confident about the future and giving the impression of security.
Yet that is exactly what you find as you enter the office of David Henderson, CIO of A&N Media, part of the Daily Mail & General Trust (DMGT) that publish the Metro free newspaper, Mail tabloid titles and an impressive estate of online products.
"We are going global, so talent and cloud computing are very important," Henderson says. In the modern media that seems to change shape with every financial quarter the two are intrinsically linked.
Web based tools have replaced the printing presses as the essential infrastructure of publishing.
Henderson explains that Salesforce Chatter and Facebook are now the primary tools of DMGT. Journalists tell the CIO that they get the many of their stories from Facebook.
"Journalists claim it is an essential business tool," he says.
CIO Event:
The CIO Big Conversation
Consumerisation: How to manage the new era of mobility
Date: Thursday 25th October 2012
Time: 6:30pm
Location: The Mandarin Oriental Hotel, London
To register for your place, email firstname.lastname@example.com
Event Overview:
The Big Conversation is a business technology leadership forum that brings IT leaders together to listen, share & shape opinions on the key issues the CIO community faces. The evening will include a keynote from a top CIO 100 speaker sharing his experiences on this topic, as well as the opportunity to share your views with fellow CIOs over networking drinks and canapés.
That has meant a change of attitude by all senior management at DMGT to accept social media tools as both business and personal web pattern and a complete attitude change to technology has pervaded the publisher which Henderson clearly relishes.
The mantra for this CIO and his team now is to make IT as easy as possible for everyone in the organisation.
That entails embracing consumerisationwith a discount scheme that has seen widespread take up of the Apple iPad.
"Journalists have to sign on to different systems all day," he says of the multi-platform digital distribution world of the media.
A single sign on methodology across the technology infrastructure not only makes things easier for the employee, it ensures the organisations content is delivered on all online platforms.
Henderson has had the full backing of the board with the adoption of consumerisation and his information management strategies.
He says the chief exec understands the need for simplicity and the importance of being device agnostic.
"The chairman is thinking of the big picture; and in the round you want people to be tech savvy as it is a good investment."
The strategy is already seeing email usage decline and allowing Henderson to put his efforts into innovation for the organisation.
"The Metro came to us last year asking how we could track replenishing of their deliveries.
After a trial Henderson's team now ensure every bundle of Metro papers has an RFID tag on them, which feeds valuable data back to the organisation.
Salesforce and Chatter are just some of the cloud computing adoptions Henderson has driven through the media company.
He is putting the organisational infrastructure onto Amazon and moving finance, HR and advertising systems into the cloud with SaaS providers.
Henderson never avoids admitting that a bold embracement of cloud and consumerisation is helped by the media being in an unregulated sector.
Although DMGT is the holder of large amounts of personal customer data that is regulated.
Henderson joins up security and modernisation with a focus on data security rather than device lock down.
"There are a lot of iPads here and between 500 and 1000 people connecting via Wifi, so rather than tightly manage those devices we track all data.
My department doesn't just track the data as a police force, we share how the data is used, which provides management insights," he says.
Symantec technology controls data security, but as Henderson and others find, technology can only do so much.
"The technology is quite simple, it's getting the people and process right that is the challenge," he says.
Henderson's office is adorned with information security posters as testament to the culture change agenda the organisation is taking information security.
"Getting people to realise that pin codes are important and that there are no opt outs allowed."

In the final day of the U.S. Open, Tiger Woods has the chance to climb back to the top of the athletic world.
In the not so distant past, Tiger Woods was a juggernaut. In 2008, playing on a ragged knee that needed surgical reconstruction, he won his third U.S. Open Championship. He sat on over $100 million in endorsement money. He had started family with his Swedish starlet wife.
And then came the fall.
U.S. & World
Tiger left the sport he had dominated for a decade while his once pristine profile was battered and besmirched. He weathered a daily storm of lewd media accounts documenting his nationwide safari through call girls and strippers. Sponsors like Gatorade and AT&T turned their backs.
In the past two months of his return, Woods' play has been erratic. He withdrew from the Players Championship in May because of an injury a Golf Channel reporter mistakenly called a "bulging d-ck." The gaffe crystallized the new reality in Tiger's public perception: he was a man whose sexual adventuring had eclipsed his formidable athletic achievement.
The opening days of the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach, the scene of early triumphs in Tiger's storied career, did not start well for the fallen pro. On Thursday, a spectator heckled him, shouting, "Its our business, Tiger, because you made it our business." Although other fans booed the heckler in Tiger's defense, it took Woods three putts to finish the hole. He admitted later to having heard the taunts.
The same day he drew the ire of the U.S. Golf Association ground's crew, whose honor he impugned by dismissing the greens as "just awful."
USGA executive director David Fay said, "As far as the greens are concerned, he's wrong."
On home turf in California, on one of the most challenging courses in the country, Tiger Woods is on the way to changing that. On the blustery Monterey Peninsula, Woods put together the best round of golf he has played since scandal scrambled his form.
Now, Tiger has leapt ahead of early leader Phil Mickelson and sits third on the board, a mere 5 strokes behind the current leader Dustin Johnson.
Tiger has never come from behind to win a major. During his stellar outing on Saturday he pumped his fist in the air in a performance reminiscent of his former greatness.
"It was just a great atmosphere," Woods said afterwards. "It felt good to put it together. Today I hit I shots the way I know I can hit shots."
Tarnished, heckled, and humbled, we'll find out today whether Tiger can win championships like he used to as well.

Move Over, Farmer's Almanac: Data Predicts Crop Growth
One of the US Department of Agriculture's jobs is to predict crop yields. To do so, they survey a sample of farmers, a method that doesn't appear to be the most effective.
It's no surprise that agricultural consultancy company Lanworth is beating them at their own game. Wired reports that Lanworth, a small Illinois-based company, gets its information from satellite images, digital soil maps, and weather forecasts, allowing them to estimate harvests on an individual field scale. So far, these projections are proving to be spot-on.
Last October, agricultural consultancy Lanworth not only correctly projected that the US Department of Agriculture had overestimated the nation's corn crop, it nailed the margin: roughly 200 million bushels. That's just 1.5 percent fewer kernels but still a significant shortfall for tight markets, causing a 13 percent price hike and jitters in the emerging ethanol industry.
Lanworth got their start back in 2000, mapping forests for land managers and timber interests. These days, the firm makes sense of 100 gigabytes of information each day and aims to grow globally—they already have their eye on wheat fields in Kazakhstan and soy crops in Argentina.

| 14.3°C Dublin
Holland coach Louis van Gaal has reaffirmed his interest in working in the Premier League next season - but will not restrict his options to Tottenham.
The 62-year-old was heavily linked with the White Hart Lane post, which eventually went to Tim Sherwood, after the departure of Andre Villas-Boas earlier this season.
The former Ajax, Barcelona and Bayern Munich coach is out of contract with the Oranje after this summer's World Cup and is keen to add a Premier League job to his impressive CV.
Van Gaal, in Brazil for a FIFA workshop for World Cup managers, told the Daily Mail: "I am mostly interested in England because I have been a coach in Spain, Germany, in the Netherlands so I think England is the next step in my career.
"It could be another club [other than Spurs], it depends on the vacancies because Spurs were already [in touch] with me.
"I prefer to be focused on this World Cup and now there's another coach [Sherwood] so as coach, you cannot say 'I go to that club or that club', it depends on circumstances."
Van Gaal is expecting big things from Manchester United striker Robin van Persie this summer and feels international duty suits him better than his role at Old Trafford.
"I think he should be great in the tournament because he loves to play in the Dutch squad," he said.
"The football from Man United now is, for him, maybe difficult but then he wishes to show his technique. Technique [levels] in the Dutch team [are] higher."

The Market would have played a part in many of our lives without us realising when we where young. Tower Bridge Road, The Blue and the Fruit & Veg shops would have all got the supply's from there. I can remember my uncle Stan,who had a stall in the Tower Bridge Road pushing his barrow all the way to there, load up with Fruit & Veg and walk all the way back, that's before he worked all day on the stall.
When I was driving I would deliver to the market, like most markets then, utter chaos, get there early or you could find that you are parked halfway to the Elephant. It was hard but I can still smile at the memories,the atmosphere the comments going back and forth and yes the swearing, all part of the market. The pictures of the market I have posted are mainly black & white, simply because that is how I remember it.
Then & now it is far from that, its vibrant with plenty of colour, the Cafes & Pubs I used way back are still there,good times?
The present market is located on Southwark Street and Borough High Street and In 2014, it celebrated its 1,000th birthday.
With its roots in Roman times, Borough Market can lay claim to being Britain's oldest food Market, mentioned by name in 1276 documents and granted its first royal charter in 1406.The Market moved from its nearby original location (on a long-since vanished bridge built By King Canute) to the current site in 1756, where it thrives.

Re: BOROUGH MARKET
Borough Market 1938 In 1933, it is estimated that 1,750,000 bushels of fruit and vegetables were sold here. In the mid-1930s, 188 pitching stands were let to 81 different wholesale companies, with a further 203 stands in the uncovered periphery manned by farmers from the Home Counties. Hundreds of porters were employed directly by the trustees to carry produce to and from the stalls, with trading taking place all through the night, and continuing long into the following day.
Re: BOROUGH MARKET
Borough Market Junction 1928, it continued in continuous use for 48 years until its operation was taken over by the London Bridge Signalling scheme in 1976. In the 1940's and 50's, the box was double manned on early and late turns, single at night. One man worked the Up service, one the Down.
