Gabriel Aubry has a welcome opening in his schedule Thursday.
Halle Berry's ex was scheduled to be arraigned tomorrow on one count of misdemeanor battery stemming from his Thanksgiving brawl with Berry's current fiance, Olivier Martinez, but his court date has been canceled, E! News has confirmed.
Instead, both he and Martinez will be summoned to an office hearing, according to Los Angeles City Attorney's Office spokesman Frank Mateljan.
U.S. & World
Halle-Gabriel-Olivier altercation drama: Everything we know
They have "decided to schedule a City Attorney's Office hearing in this matter," Mateljan says. "We are in the process of contacting the parties to set up that hearing. Mr. Aubrey's counsel has been informed that tomorrow's court date will be vacated."
So, this sounds like a good thing as far as Aubry's rap sheet is concerned, right?
"Any time you get an office hearing in lieu of charges, it is a gift," criminal defense attorney Troy Slaten, who does not represent either Aubry or Martinez, tells E! News.
Halle Berry takes Nahla Christmas shopping
The proposed meeting generally involves a hearing officer representing the city of Los Angeles attempting to mediate the dispute in order to avoid a judicial proceeding (aka a court case), explains Slaten.
"A hearing officer could then make a recommendation...on whether or not any charges should be filed against either of the parties or if the matter could be handled informally," he says.
Aubry and Martinez would almost certainly attend with attorneys in tow, Slaten adds, because "anything they say could be held against them" should prosecutors wind up pressing charges anyway.
Nahla reunited with dad Gabriel Aubry
That does seem unlikely, especially now that Berry and Aubry have seemingly resolved their differences once again and respective orders of protection--one that Aubry filed against Martinez and one put in place following the fight that kept Aubry from being near Berry and their daughter, Nahla--have been dropped.
In his petition for a temporary restraining order, Aubry had accused Martinez of threatening to kill him if he got in the way of Berry moving to Martinez's native France with Nahla. Aubry was photographed after the reported altercation with visible bruises on his face, while Martinez sported a brace on his hand.
"Usually, in a mutual combat situation, neither party is charged with a crime," Slaten says. "And the hearing officer could recommend anger management or other types of things... like a parenting class, counseling or anger-management class to prevent charges being filed. It's a pretty strong encouragement to follow the recommendation or you could face criminal charges."

Perl Update
I contacted experienced Polish golfer 0xF mentioning my article and asking if he'd like to share his original 165-stroke solution -- which led this competition for over a year in its early stages.
Instead of sharing, however, he wanted to keep on competing! Divulging nothing, he snatched the lead once again by posting a 160-stroker.
What on earth was 0xF up to? Had he shortened his original 165-stroker? Or my 161-stroker? Or found a completely new approach? I had no way of knowing yet could hardly ignore this provocation.
Exploring All Possible Variations
I'd been quite lazy with my 161-stroker in that I had neglected to explore all possible variations. Laziness may be one of the three virtues of the Perl programmer but definitely not of the Perl golfer. No, you have to work hard, exploring every possible variation, just in case one of them allows a surprising tactical trick.
So I started by reorganizing my 161-stroke solution like so:
This is nothing more than a simple rearrangement. However, on seeing it written that way I immediately noticed that the /, 99\D+/ regex was false all the time within the loop, becoming true only after loop termination ... which means that the default regex (i.e. //) is not affected within the loop because that very short // notation represents the last successful match.
Hmmm. That means if I can eliminate the annoying /s/, I can shorten s/^// by one stroke to s///. Yet if I eliminate the /s/ I must also delete the ridiculously short $&. That is like losing an old friend. And what are the chances of finding a short enough replacement? Looks impossible, but I have to try at least.
Without the /s/, all we have left to distinguish the first time through the loop from subsequent iterations is the s/// expression. What changes after this expression is executed for the first time? Well, as far as I can tell only $_ and the regex "side-effect" variables $&, $', $`, @+, @-. So we need to find a short expression using one of those six. Since $_, $&, $' and $` all look hopeless, that only leaves @+ and @-.
ySas' Device
I remember some very happy golfing moments with good ol' @-: I used it in my winning Roman to Decimal solution and fondly remember a marvellous stunt pulled by ySas where he used @- as a multiplier in s/(M)|D/4x@-x5/eg thus distinguishing a matching M from a matching D.
Can I mimic ySas here? Yes! You see, there are zero elements in @- before the first s/// and one element thereafter (corresponding to the offset of the start of the (always) successful match, there being no sub-patterns). So @-, somewhat flukily, has exactly the right values for a multiplier -- 's'x@- -- which shortens my solution by a single stroke:
160 strokes!
What next? Well, I can't see anything more. However, if 0xF found a different improvement, and reads this node, we may finally see the magical 160-stroke barrier broken.
Update: The 160-stroke barrier was shattered down to 149 by utilising "pack u" compression, as detailed in this series of nodes.

North Carolina dominated NC State last night, which has become something of a theme. The Wolfpack haven't beaten their I-40 rivals since 2007, so for fan favorite Scott Wood, that's tantamount to never.
"How frustrating is it to have never beaten North Carolina?" a reporter asked Wood after the game. That's a close cousin to those awful "how does it feel" questions, which only deserve your scorn. But Wood fired back with "I don't know. Has your wife ever cheated on you?"
Deathly pause.
"That's probably about how frustrating it is."
And, scene.

5 indicted in $4 million jewelry store robbery
- None of the jewels has been recovered%2C officials said.
- Robbery was featured in episode of %22America%27s Most Wanted%22
- Robbers used rental vehicles with stolen license plates to make their getaway
WILMINGTON, Del. -- Federal prosecutors have charged five men with a brazen smash-and-grab robbery that netted $4.4 million worth of gold, diamonds, other precious gems and a $2 million ruby sculpture from a Wilmington jewelry story in 2011.
The five men, identified in a December indictment released Thursday after the final suspect was taken into custody, are Darrell "Blue" Williams, David "Dawoo" Story, Rufus "Alonzo Nowell" Lawson, Willie Hawkins Smith and Jackie Howard. All but Howard, who was charged in federal court in Pennsylvania, were charged in the U.S. District Court of Delaware.
No other information about the suspects, including where they live and where they are being held, was released.
The robbery occurred at Stuart Kingston Jewelers on Nov. 1, 2011. The three bandits, each of whom wore a mask and one of whom brandished a gun, tied up four employees, then used hammers to smash glass cases and take the jewels. Among the gems taken was the Liberty Bell Ruby, a rare 5-inch stone made from the largest mined ruby in the world.
Jim Stein, the store's owner, said after the heist that he was trying to broker a deal to help the California owners sell the one-of-a-kind ruby to a philanthropist who would donate it to the National Liberty Museum in Philadelphia.
None of the jewels has been recovered, officials said.
The crime had been featured on "America's Most Wanted" in February 2012. Stein later offered a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the men.
Police and employees interviewed by The News Journal offered this blow-by-blow account two months after the heist:
A man appeared at the door to be buzzed into the store and once a receptionist allowed him in he pulled out a gun and held the door open for three other men.
Once inside, they bound the employees with zip-ties and duct tape, forced them to lie on the floor, smashed the cases and scooped out hundreds of valuable pieces -- necklaces, earrings, rings and other items made of diamonds, platinum, gold, sapphires, emeralds and rubies. They didn't touch the less expensive silver, pearl or other semi-precious stones, said office manager Jamie Stein, one of the four employees who were tied up.
They forced Stein's son Edward to open the vault where the Liberty Bell and other expensive pieces were stored. The ruby was sculpted into the shape of the Liberty Bell guarded by a bald eagle and bedecked with 50 diamonds and was featured in a November 2010 story in The News Journal, which Stein said he believed may have motivated the thieves.
The ruby was created in 1976 for Kazanjian Brothers jewelry company in Beverly Hills, Calif., by sculptor Alfonso de Vivanco for the U.S. bicentennial.
One of the bound employees, gold buyer Dan McGrath, recalled that the crime "happened so fast, I didn't have time to get nervous about it."
The thieves fled in a rental truck with stolen New York license plates north on Interstate 95 toward Chester, Pa. A witness to the crime followed the truck at 100 mph in his Mercedes sedan, speaking to a 911 operator much of the way. He backed off when the suspects opened the rear door of the truck and pointed a gun at his car.

So, dear friends… on the eve of my "death," I must stop to consider a few big ideas. More than a few, really.
I know logically that on November 13, 2012, the day I turn 48, it is no more likely that I will die from Vascular Type Ehlers Danlos Syndrome complications than from getting hit by a limousine bus on its way to Dulles International Airport. There is no more likelihood of that doctor's prediction coming true than if the doctor himself had told me he had placed a voodoo curse on me that would take effect on my 48th birthday.
Still, it's easy for me to make a brave face in public and pronounce the doctor's "curse," of a shortened life to be fake. However, new, more serious health conditions have begun to show themselves so close to this infelicitous birthday: pulmonary aneurysms (with the attendant shortness of breath), and now a new aneurysm in my brain. It is easy to wonder whether that doctor was right after all, or whether I am, at age 48, about to stand on a slippery slope that drops away into nothingness.
When, in the dark of night, or on particularly grey days, I let my deepest imagination run amok, I worry that I will die soon, and that, as Hollywood has instructed me, I ought to have a Bucket List, that storied list of things to accomplish before dying.
For most people, making such a list is a game of pretend, like deciding how to spend the money they wish to win in the lottery the next day. But when I try to make my bucket list, it's serious business. The items are things I intend to start doing tomorrow. That's a lot of pressure, so much that the paper stays blank. What to do? Travel seems to me like the best bucket list plan, so good; I can't think of a substitute. Yet, what kind of travel makes sense for me, I ask myself, when my leg, feet, arms, elbows, knee and shoulder joints hurt so much from doing three activities in a day (like a doctor appointment, grocery shopping, and going to the tanning bed) that I am in bed the following day), so much that traveling in an airport sounds not just impossible, but awful, even to me, sworn travel lover that I am. I love travel so much that I can't think of a substitute entry for my bucket list. If I don't find out about the rest of the world on my last venture, well, what can I possibly do?
In the true twenty-first century mode, I allow an internet search to do the thinking for me. Happily, I find a Pinterest page called Kate's Bucket List. Each of her fantastic images has white text across the middle: "I want to catch the bouquet at a wedding," or "I want to visit Turkey and drink tea from a Samovar."
One reason I find Kate's Bucket list to be so wonderful is that in addition to the expected travel items like, "I want to go to NYC Fashion Week," she makes wonderful wishes, like to dance under the stars, ride on the back of a motorcycle, and witness a wedding proposal. They are unselfish wishes and communicate the simplicity and authenticity of a young girl—qualities I realize I am missing. It is this kind of idea, and this kind of openness that I cannot locate in myself, and I realize that I have been looking for it for several years now. I've tried, unsuccessfully, to explain it to my therapist as the sense of wonder and bewilderment I had in college, that gave me the unfettered ability to sit down and write, just any old time, about any old subject. I had theories about important things.
I remember that I used to analyze couples and tell them (or more likely one half of the couple) that it was my theory that the best couples, the ones that stay together, are those who have found their neurotic compliment, their match in craziness. Assuming it is true that all of us are a little (or a lot) crazy in our individual ways, we just need someone who understands and enjoys our unique sensibilities, and as much as possible keeps us from spiraling off the deep end. I didn't realize how flawed my theory was, but I believed it ardently and liked to tell people about it. I had lots of those.
So, maybe my travel for my bucket list should be more amorphous than a single week-long trip to a geographical place. Maybe my journey should be back to that place of earnestness, where I had theories, and took more delight in things. It makes me happy just writing about it. That's a bucket list item. I just don't know how to attach an image to it and a label.c
Oh, there are a couple of things. I want to wear a size 6 again. And want to see the Barnes Collection in Philadelphia. I want to see my nephews be successful, however they want to define that, in school, in life, and I want my little brother to find his path and be gloriously happy in life, and my big brother to find a new path and get the fantastic happiness he deserves. I want my parents to live as long as possible, as healthy as they can. But are those buckets?
Really, I owe Dr. Dumbass a great big thanks for his pronouncement about my diminishing years left on the planet when I was 44. Otherwise, I would have kept on living with a dimmed introspection. I would have cursed the bad days of my illness so much more than I did, because I would not have been aware. Just for example, this week, I supposedly had 9 Days left to live; it would have been easy then to give up and go back to bed when I found it hard to get out of bed because of an all encompassing pain and fatigue, and I had to wear a wrist brace to type because my wrist was too sore and weak. However, I understood the day to be special and important the same because it was Day 9. As a result, I made myself get up, get dressed, and make the day matter to me somehow. So what if I was not physically able to be jetting about the planet to the beaches of the Dominican Republic or to the Taj Mahal?
I made it as fantastic as Day 9 could be, given my circumstances. I have learned to do this as a mindfulness practice this year, on the days when I have felt good, and on the days like Day 9, that were not great.
And for all that practice, for the focus I placed on making myself aware these last 364 days, I came to understand that this birthday is momentous simply because I get to have it. So were all the others before it. I just didn't realize! All the more reason to celebrate.
What I learned this year could (and may) fill a whole book. But as I reread my rambling, disconnected entries—and their generous replies—I am struck deep in my chest that the most important thing I learned, perhaps the most important lesson I have ever learned, is how much my friends and family—and even strangers—love me.
How is that possible? Sick, boring me. I can't even go out to dinner anymore, much less make it to the theater. Most days, a litany of symptoms exhausts me; I imagine just hearing about them drives most of you to drink at lunchtime (though some of you will secretly thank me for the excuse….and you know who you are!).
Most importantly, though, I have learned that I had better listen when the likes of you people have taken the time to be so kind.

The biggest pop star of the moment isn't shying away from speaking out on the hottest political issue in the country.
During a sold-out weekend concert in Phoenix, Lady Gaga twice voiced her opposition to Arizona's recently enacted and highly controversial immigration law, reported the Arizona Republic.
"We have to be active. We have to protest. . . . I will yell and I will scream louder," she said to sustained applause." I will hold you, and we will hold each other, and we will peaceably protest this state."
U.S. & World
She also mentioned the story of a boy she talked to shortly after arriving in the state a few days before the show. He told her that his home had been raided due to a parking ticket, and that his brother had been hauled off by authorities during the search.
"It's really unfair and it's really disgusting. I think it's important that people understand that it's a state of emergency for this place and this state," she said.
But Gaga, who performed with "Stop SB 1070" written on her left forearm, stopped short of embracing a boycott of the state that's being advocated by other artists, such as Kanye West, Rage Against the Machine and Sonic Youth.
"I got a phone call from a couple of really big rock and rollers, big pop stars, big rap artists, and they said, 'We'd like you to boycott Arizona...because of SB 1070'," which is the formal name of the law.
"I said, 'Do you really think that us dumb (expletive) pop stars are going to collapse the economy of Arizona?" she added.
A federal judge blocked some of the more controversial aspects of the law, which is designed to curtail the flow of illegal immigrants into the state, from taking effect last week. However, Jan Brewer, the governor of the state, plans to appeal that decision.

Item #3010
58 days. Remember when you were a kid how fun it was to pop open a pod and eat the peas? Relive the memories and enjoy the wonderful taste of Progress #9. Vines reach up to 18", and each 5" pod has 7-9 plump peas. A heavy producer, also called Laxton's Progress #9. (Thomas Laxton was a renowned 19th Century strawberry breeder.)
This packet sows one 10-foot row.
Seedling Image
Days to Emerge:
Seed Depth:
Seed Spacing:
Row Spacing:
When to sow outside: RECOMMENDED. 4 to 6 weeks before average last frost or as soon as soil can be worked. Soil temperatures must be above 40°F. in USDA zones 8 or warmer, sow in fall or winter for winter harvest.
When to start inside: Not recommended.
Special germination instructions: Soak seed in water for 12 to 24 hours before sowing.
Harvesting: Shelling peas should be harvested when the pods are plump, about 3 weeks after flowering. Peas that are too mature are tough and will cause the plant to stop producing; therefore, harvest regularly when pods are at their peak. Use scissors to harvest or hold vine with one hand and pick pod with the other to avoid breaking the brittle vines.

On 9/11, Remembering the Other's Others: International Law & Muslim Fundamentalism
The ninth anniversary of September 11, 2001, finds the international community still grappling with the consequences of that terrible day.
Armed conflicts which began in the wake of 9/11 continue in Afghanistan and Iraq, spilling over now into Pakistan and Yemen with often devastating consequences for civilians. Human rights abuses in the "war on terror†remain largely unpunished, but will never be forgotten around the world. Xenophobia directed against Muslims serves as a useful tool for right-wing politicians in the West. And you may have heard that an idiot in Florida has been trying to decide whether or not he will burn hundreds of Qur'ans today.
At the same time, Muslim fundamentalist armed movements akin to those that perpetrated 9/11, like the various permutations of Al Qaeda and the Taliban, or Al Shabab in Somalia or Boko Haram in Nigeria, just to name a few, continue to pose major challenges to human rights in Muslim majority societies and around the world. For a terrifying insight into the worldview of defenders of such movements, see here.
Muslim fundamentalist armed movements often kill civilians indiscriminately, as they did on 9/11, a day to which Al Qaeda chillingly refers as "Holy Tuesday.†They also target artists, writers and freethinkers for assassination, and purvey systematic discrimination against women and religious minorities and LGBT individuals. They seek to impose their version of the Sharia on all Muslims everywhere – this often means advocating practices like stoning women for adultery. (credit for logo at right of the Global Campaign to Stop Stoning) Hence, such movements pose particular threats to international law in the areas of human rights, humanitarian law and conflict prevention, inter alia.
My article "Remembering the Other's Others: Theorizing the Approach of International Law to Muslim Fundamentalism,†published this summer in the Columbia Human Rights Law Review, challenges international lawyers to develop a critical analysis of Muslim fundamentalist movements and to support the many Muslim human rights defenders battling fundamentalism.
Faced with the current polarized environment, this enterprise is unquestionably a daunting task, and I see the already constricted space for my argument narrowing further. Muslim fundamentalists – and those confused with them – have also themselves been the targets of a range of grave violations of international law by states in recent years, like torture. Racialized discourses and policies directed against people of Muslim heritage have proliferated since September 11, 2001, and are currently experiencing a particularly disturbing revival – what might be called hatredofmuslims version 20.10.
All of this fuels more fundamentalism.
Despite these real difficulties, offering a critical perspective on the contemporary problem of Muslim fundamentalism remains an essential project for international lawyers. As a discipline we in international law have mostly engaged critically with the (admittedly problematic) responses to Muslim fundamentalism, rather than with the phenomenon itself.
â–º Can we offer an accurate or useful commentary on the responses to Muslim fundamentalist movements if we overlook their existence and impact in the first place?
► Of what use is our critique of the "war on terror†if we are largely silent about one side of that "war†?
In fact, the failure of learned discourse in the United States – including in the field of international law – to name and thoughtfully explain the problem of Muslim fundamentalism actually risks facilitating discrimination against Muslims in general. This omission obscures the fact that contemporary terrorism and the "war on terror†actually revolve around a very specific set of politics and political actors, not around broader religious denominations or religious claims.
Ordinary Muslims or the Muslim religion as a whole must not be confused with specific fundamentalist movements and their adherents, just as most American Christians would not want to be identified with Christian fundamentalist Terry Jones. Yet, the mere critique of Muslim fundamentalist movements themselves is not per se an expression of anti-Muslim bias, just as criticism of the pyromaniacally inclined Pastor Jones is not an attack on Christianity. This, I fear, is a fact that is likely to get lost in the current cacophony.
Actually, Muslim fundamentalist armed groups' primary victims, as the 2006 U.S. National Strategy for Combating Terrorism acknowledged, are often other people of Muslim heritage. Hence, defending the human rights of Muslims means successfully defeating fundamentalism (and vice versa).
In the contemporary period, Western discourse, including in the field of international law, has sometimes seemed to offer only two choices: the openly discriminatory or flawed characterization (Islam is inherently fundamentalist, all Muslims are fundamentalists and so on), or the one that is too politically correct to even broach the topic of fundamentalism. Neither one is helpful or accurate. What we need is a principled, human rights based critique of Muslim fundamentalism, alongside a principled, human rights based critique of discrimination against Muslims. To paraphrase a brilliant Pakistani colleague, I reject the idea that my choices are limited to accepting either Glenn Beck or the Sharia, and I reserve my right to criticize both. I utterly reject both the would be suicide bombers and the would be Qur'an burners, and neither one can ever justify the actions of the other.
Returning to today's sad anniversary, I honor the memory of all the 2,976 victims of September 11. They were women, men and children who came from more than 90 countries, from many religious, racial and ethnic backgrounds, and from all walks of life. All are mourned by family and friends. In the current moment, I think about Amenia Rasool (left), a Guyanan-American Muslim woman who worked on the 95th floor of the World Trade Center. (photo credit) I first read about her in The New York Times remembrance section.
I am humbled by the thought of such a terrible death at the hands of Muslim fundamentalists, and compelled by the beautiful complexity of Amenia Rasool's existence, a life which challenged all simple narratives about what it means to be a Muslim woman in America. Though she had an arranged marriage, she and her husband reportedly shared domestic tasks. She worked as an accountant by day, but in the evening when her chores were done, she was said to enjoy watching taped soap operas and painting her fingernails. All of these things – women working outside the home, dramatic entertainment and use of cosmetics are often prohibited by fundamentalists – sometimes on penalty of death. Meanwhile, many American right-wing racists cannot conceive of a Muslim woman with such a life, nor do those who wave hateful signs in protest against the proposed Muslim community center in Lower Manhattan ("No Islamic Settlements in America†) remember her, even in death. She would have been "the other†to some of these Americans, but was also "the other†for Muslim fundamentalists. It is this complex, multidirectional dynamic that I am trying to name with the title of my article, "Remembering the Other's Others.â€
I am hoping that human rights advocates will remember Amenia Rasool when they conceive of what human rights means in relation to September 11th and its aftermath. This means taking violence by nonstate actors – as well as by states – seriously, as I underscored in my September 11, 2008, post,"Terror/Torture." This means being relentless in demanding accountability for those surviving persons involved in such terrorist atrocities and for the atrocities of response that have followed. This means that we must face up to the menace of Muslim fundamentalism, while (and as one means of) staunchly defending the human rights of Muslims in the United States and beyond. (credit for 2009 photo of protest against Sudanese prosecution of Lubna Hussein for wearing pants)
The task of human rights, it seems to me, must be to create an international community that recognizes the complexity of a life story like Rasool's, and that protects the Amenia Rasools of the world from all of the kinds of discrimination and coercion and horror and violence they can face – as women, as Muslims, as immigrants, as Americans, as civilians, as people who live these categories as overlapping and intersecting rather than opposing. Rasool left behind four children when she was murdered by Al Qaeda. Let us hope we can make that better world in their lifetime.
A few nights ago, I walked along the Hudson River, transfixed by the beams of the Tribute in Light, streaming upward where the Twin Towers used to stand, in commemoration of the approaching anniversary. (credit for 2009 photo, top left) The powerful illumination filled the sky where the most extreme Muslim fundamentalists had blown a terrible empty hole nine years ago. Despite that grave international crime, and all that has followed, for me these beams of light still reflect the simple promise that we human beings can do better in how we treat one another.

Why Did Congress Abdicate Its Power To Make Copyright Policy?
from the this-is-broken deptEarlier today, we wrote about today's Congressional hearings about legalizing the unlocking of mobile phones. That post fretted about the unwillingness of Congress to take on the actual issue. The only reason that mobile phone unlocking is illegal today is because of a broken copyright law, specifically section 1201 of the DMCA, which isn't about copyright per se, but rather a bizarre, indirect way that entertainment industry lawyers think protects copyright by making technology illegal, and effectively gives those legacy industries veto power over technologies they don't like. So when Congress realizes how this is abused for reasons that have nothing to do with protecting copyrights, they should respond by fixing section 1201. But that's not what they're doing.
What I hadn't seen when I wrote the earlier post is the way in which the IP subcommittee of the House Judiciary Committee framed the hearing today. However, the official memo from the committee outlining the hearing is actually an incredible statement, in which the committee basically claims (falsely!) that Congress does not have the power to fix section 1201! How could that be? They claim that our "international obligations" forbid this. Specifically, they point to the WIPO Copyright Treaty and the WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty as binding their hands in fixing 1201.
The WIPO Copyright Treaty and the WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty require countries that have acceded to the Treaties to "provide adequate legal protection and effective legal remedies against the circumvention of effective technological measures."1 Enacted in 1998 as part of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, Section 1201 (a)(1) of Title 17 implements these treaty obligations in the U.S. by prohibiting circumvention of a technological protection measure (TPM) that effectively controls access to a copyrighted work subject to one key exception. Every three years, the Register of Copyrights is directed by statute to conduct a rulemaking in which advocates for specific exemptions may petition for exemptions to the anticircumvention provisions for noninfringing uses subject to five factors.If you're even remotely aware of the history of the DMCA and the WIPO Copyright Treaty, you would know that this is first, an incredible rewriting of history, and second, a ridiculous and false direct claim from Congress that it has abdicated its sole authority in establishing copyright policy to the administration.
Since the enactment of this provision into U.S. law, the U.S. has entered into several Free Trade Agreements that require signatories (the U.S. and the particular country or region) to enact anti-circumvention provisions and set requirements on how exceptions to them can be created. Most such FTAs limit the duration of such exemptions to a three or four year period and require that they be administratively or legislatively created based upon a record of evidence.
First, a bit of history: In the early/mid 90s, the entertainment industry, fearing new internet technology, sought to pass the DMCA, with a specific focus on anti-circumvention rules, in the mistaken belief that strong DRM would protect their increasingly obsolete business models. However, Congress wouldn't pass such a law. So what did they do? They went to Geneva, and used the "international trade" venue to create a treaty that would then require the US to pass the DMCA if it wanted to sign onto the treaty. The key architect of the DMCA and this entire plan, Bruce Lehman, has admitted outright that he went to Geneva as a direct "end run around Congress" because they wouldn't pass the law the entertainment industry interests wanted. Just a few months ago, at a 15-year anniversary conference for the DMCA, Lehman had no problem directly admitting that he absolutely went to Geneva to deal with Congress' failure to pass the law.
Now, we've pointed out that really fixing phone unlocking would likely violate international agreements. But, the point should really be that Congress should re-assess its sole authority over copyright policy. The Constitution gives Congress the power to set copyright policy, not the administration, which negotiates treaties. So it's not even clear if the USTR (a part of the administration) has the power to negotiate international copyright policy. But it's crazy to then think that this stops Congress from fixing a broken system.
To have Congress itself say that it can't fix a clearly broken system, because of trade agreements that it did not negotiate or set is an incredible admission. It's fundamentally incorrect. Congress alone has the power to set copyright policy, and if that "violates" international agreements, that's a problem for the administration, not Congress.
However, the fact that Congress is now claiming that it has given up its power, and clearly admits that it feels its hands are tied in actually fixing a very real problem that so many people are concerned about, because a few representatives of the Clinton administration, who have admitted directly that they were creating policy by routing around Congress to support their friends in the entertainment industry, should give everyone -- especially in Congress -- serious pause about supporting things like "intellectual property chapters" in new international agreements like the TPP and TAFTA.
Both of those agreements will be setting significant aspects of copyright (and patent and trademark) policy -- without any input from the public, because they're being negotiated entirely in secret. However, the entertainment industry has full access to the documents. And here we have Congress saying -- incorrectly -- that whatever comes out of that process will bind their hands.
That's crazy.
Whether or not you think Congress should be taking on mobile phone unlocking or copyright reform or anything along those lines, I would hope that most people can agree that there's something wrong about a process in which corporate interests get to drive US policy in international agreements without any transparency or feedback from the public, and then Congress claims it can't fix the problems that those agreements create.

Launched in response to needs that arose from Hurricane Sandy's impact on the city, Code Corps will likely develop new Web and mobile applications and emergency-related information maps using city data.
During his State of the City address on Feb. 14, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced Code Corps -- a new initiative that enlists volunteer techies to help city government with its emergency and disaster recovery needs, TechPresident reported.
Touted as the country's first municipal program of its kind, Code Corps was launched by NYC Digital and the Mayor's Office of Policy and Strategic Planning in response to needs that arose from Hurricane Sandy's impact on the city.
The program engages vetted volunteer technologists -- data scientists, developers and designers -- from nonprofit and private-sector organizations who partner with city agency representatives to develop strategic projects that serve civic needs, according to the NYC Digital website.
These volunteer technologists will coordinate with a newly formed advisory committee called the Data Advisory and Research Taskforce (DART), which consists of data scientists, developers and experts from across city government.
According to NYC Digital, potential projects include developing new databases, Web and mobile applications, emergency-related information maps using city data, analysis of impacted populations, and data sharing with other governments or utilities.

OAKLAND — The A's called up four minor-leaguers Sunday, including outfielder Michael Choice and infielder Jemile Weeks as major league rosters expand to 40 for the final month of the season.
Choice, 23, is rated one of the A's top prospects, and Weeks was a rookie of the year contender in 2011 who has seemed to fall out of favor with the club.
"It's a nice reward for a guy that's had a good year and is a prominent player in our organization," A's manager Bob Melvin said of Choice. "There are times you reward people, there are times you bring them in to be a piece (of the equation), and he's both."
The A's selected Choice with the 10th pick of the 2010 Major League draft. Choice played in 132 games for Triple-A Sacramento this season, where he batted .302, with 14 home runs and 89 RBI.
"I felt like I had a pretty good year, so I definitely thought there was a possibility that it would happen," Choice said.
Melvin said Choice, Weeks, shortstop Andy Parrino and left-handed pitcher Pedro Figueroa were called up to help out the final month-plus of the season and not just to get a taste of the majors.
"All these guys are here for a reason," Melvin said. "How much playing time they get, I'm not sure at this point."
Choice played all three outfield spots during spring training. Melvin said he likely will use Choice at one of the corner outfield spots against left-handers.
Choice said he became a more consistent player this season, which enabled him to "just go out there and play and be comfortable."
His parents, wife and son are scheduled to be at the A's game Monday. It's unclear whether Choice will be in the lineup that day.
Weeks once was one of the A's top prospects. However, his batting average dipped from .303 in 2011 to .221 in 2012, when he got demoted.
He spent all season with Sacramento this year and batted .271. He also stole 17 bases in 19 attempts, walked 80 times for a .376 on-base percentage. Overall, he focused on honing his all-around game.
"It's refreshing," Weeks said of his return. "I've been gone awhile. I put a lot of work in down there. … I'm just trying to affect the game in any type of way I can."
Weeks and Parrino are versatile enough to play infield and outfield, though Weeks is a natural second baseman and Parrino a shortstop.
Figueroa likely will be used against certain left-handers and, at times, for as long as an inning, Melvin said.
"Figueroa has a 97 mph fastball that can make some lefties uncomfortable," Melvin said.
Minor-league catcher Luke Montz was designated for assignment to make room on the 40-man roster for Choice.

If you want a house with a steam shower
When you think about it, every home is equipped with a stress-reducing device -- it's called the shower, and it's not just for daily cleansing. For many, a leisurely hot shower simply melts away tension and soothes the soul.
Some homeowners have upped their game by having a steam shower installed. It doesn't stop there. Enhancements such as lighting, music systems and aromatherapy can be added. It's no wonder so many steam showers are equipped with a waterproof bench for two.
While not all house hunters actively seek out this amenity, they often go berserk when they see it, says Judith King of The Corcoran Group, noting that's the reaction she gets when showing one of her listings, the Quogue beach house featured below. "It's a fabulous feeling to be able to take a steam shower in your own home," King adds.
11 Dune Rd.
The master suite in this 3,600-square-foot beach house offers ocean views from the bedroom and bay views from the bathroom. The master is one of five bedrooms and has a fireplace with private balcony, while the bathroom is set up with a double steam shower with benches and a spa tub. It also features his and hers sinks and a water closet. There are another 5.5 bathrooms in the house. As for common spaces, the living room with fireplace and dining room each have tray ceilings and sliding-glass doors that open to a double-tiered mahogany deck with bay views. The manicured 1.1-acre parcel is landscaped with hydrangeas as well as with a heated in-ground pool, hot tub and pool house. Amenities include a deeded right of way to the ocean beach. Judith King, Corcoran Group, Westhampton Beach, 631-723-4421.
3172 Sound Ave.
When this 5,500-square-foot Mediterranean-style house was custom-built on one acre overlooking Long Island Sound, the spa area with its indoor pool and steam shower was incorporated into the design. The spa -- as well as any area in the house with tile floors -- has radiant heat. This includes the master bathroom, which has a walk-in shower, tub overlooking the water and dual vanity. Other features include wood floors, oversized windows, sliding-glass doors, two fireplaces and a three-level mahogany elevator. The chef's kitchen is outfitted with white cabinets, high-end stainless- steel appliances and a center island. There are four bedrooms and five bathrooms. Since the house is set high, the water views are year round, says the listing agent, noting flooding is not an issue. Exterior features include Brazilian wood wraparound decks and retractable awnings. CeeCee Flanigan, Shawn Elliott Luxury Homes & Estates, Woodbury, 631-252-4126.
East Rockaway
29 Wesley Dr.
Originally a ranch, this eight-room house was renovated and expanded about 10 years ago. It has four bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, including the master suite. The tiled master bathroom features a steam shower with Starfire Glass. It also has a Jacuzzi tub, a double sink and radiant heat floor. Wood and radiant heat floors are found throughout the house.
The main level includes a two-story entrance foyer, den with a fireplace, living room, dining room and eat-in kitchen. The kitchen has wood cabinets, granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances. The deck, overlooking the yard and a basketball half-court, is accessible from the eating area. The lot is 171 by 150 feet. Ronnie Gerber, Douglas Elliman Real Estate, Merrick, 516-238-4299.
West Hempstead
733 Harrison St.
The owner of this seven-room Colonial completely remodeled the home in 2009 and had a Royal SSWW steam shower installed in the master bathroom. With multiple jets, settings include rainfall. The shower has two folding seats and a control panel to operate mood lighting, radio and more. The bathroom also boasts a Jacuzzi tub and Toto Neorest toilet with functions that include lid operation, and seat heating and cooling. There are another 2.5 bathrooms in the house, as well as three bedrooms. The kitchen has granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances, including a Viking stove and wine refrigerator. Surround Sound, a fireplace and central air-conditioning are among the amenities. The lot size is 57 by 100 feet. Phyllis Beitler and Claire Sidi, Douglas Elliman Real Estate, Syosset, 516-921-2262.

We're pretty sure no one saw this coming.
The outspoken and abrasive Simon Cowell was asked his thoughts on the new incarnation of "American Idol" - which replaced the infamous judge with musical A-listers Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler - and the man known for being brutally honest was...actually kind?
"I personally think it is a better show than last year," he tells TV host Piers Morgan, in an interview set to air next week.
U.S. & World
"It feels to me they've got their energy back," says Cowell, adding that the show now feels "confident" and "competitive."
Cowell is currently working on bringing his hit UK reality series "The X Factor" to the U.S. next year.
The complete interview will air on "Piers Morgan Tonight" on March 14th.

Personalized wedding seed packets with rustic wildflower wreath design. Seed packaging made from partly recycled Brown kraft paper. Enter your personalized details below including bride and grooms name, wedding date, quote/saying and seed name (optional). You can also choose custom fonts.
Allow up to 2mm variation in packets. This is a normal part of the production process for small packets and happens because the metal in machines heats up during production runs and varies the cutting locations slightly from packet to packet. Seed packets are a brown kraft color (varies slightly lighter or darker from on screen color). Please also allow for some slight color variances/shades between packets due to their recycled content.

Exhaust muffler silencer ARROW PRO-RACE TITANIUM with mid pipe TITANIUM no kat included racing with db-killer
Pro-Race silencers design comes from the first prototypes made for MotoGP. Pro-Race silencers are built putting together a conical-shaped part (the main body of the silencer) with a cylindrical ending section (ø98mm) and these are available in titanium or nichrom (a stainless steel alloy). The silencers are secured to the bike by means of mounts welded to the main body, their cone-shaped design provides a reduction of dimensions and weight, but it also reduces the overall volume of the exhaust, thus limitating noise damping capabilities and the application on bigger or demanding engines. Pro-Race silencers are available both in a street legal and racing version, with removable baffle.
