Among recent enforcement actions were SEC charges against a husband and wife who defrauded seniors who thought they were investing in a charity and the sentencing of an insider trading informant who managed to avoid prison time for his cooperation.
Husband and Wife Charged in Charity Investment Fraud Against Seniors
Richard Olive and Susan Olive, a husband and wife who raised millions of dollars selling investments for a purported charitable organization in Tallahassee, Fla., were charged by the SEC with defrauding senior citizens and significantly exaggerating the amount of contributions actually made to charity.
The Olives, according to the SEC's complaint, were hired by We The People Inc., and subsequently raised $75 million from more than 400 naïve and elderly investors in Florida, Colorado and Texas, among more than 30 states across the country. They conned the investors into transferring assets to We The People and in exchange sold an investment product they described as a charitable gift annuity (CGA).
We The People claimed from June 2008 to April 2012 to be operating as a nonprofit. Far from it—We The People's main purpose was to issue the CGAs and use the proceeds to pay the Olives, as well as third-party promoters and consultants. The Olives raked in more than $1.1 million in salary and commissions, in addition to investor funds that they managed to divert for their personal use.
We The People's CGAs were far from legitimate. Not only was their main purpose to benefit the Olives and others, but only a small amount of the funds raised actually went to any charitable purpose. As an example, according to the organization's public statements, it donated $21.8 million for the relief of AIDS orphans in Zambia. The truth was that the supplies for Zambia were donated by others, and We The People only donated a little cash to the third party that shipped the supplies.
We The People's marketing materials were full of misrepresentations and omissions, and claimed the CGAs were worth the "full" accumulated value of the assets transferred by investors when they were not. The way We the People calculated the CGAs' value always came in substantially lower than full value, because the organization skimmed off a large percentage of the value and kept it as a "charitable gift."
We The People also claimed to hold in trust a 110% reserve of its liabilities, and to "reinsure" its products through "highly rated" commercial insurance companies. It did no such thing; it had no restricted-access trust accounts and thus no reserves, and it never reinsured anything.
The marketing materials also failed to disclose that the Olives had come in for previous indictments and regulatory sanctions for selling the same type of bogus products in the past, and neglected to mention the substantial commissions We The People paid to the Olives and others, to the tune of several million dollars.
The Olives are charged with violations, or aiding and abetting violations, of antifraud provisions of federal securities laws as well as violations of the securities and broker-dealer registration provisions of federal securities laws. The SEC seeks disgorgement of ill-gotten gains, plus pre- and post-judgment interest and financial penalties against the Olives.
The SEC also filed separate complaints against We The People and its in-house counsel, William Reeves. Both he and the organization agreed to settle the charges without admitting or denying the SEC's allegations; the settlements are subject to court approval. We The People consented to a final judgment that will enable a receiver to protect the more than $60 million of investor assets it still holds; the judgment also provides for disgorgement of ill-gotten gains and provides injunctive relief. Reeves, who is expected to cooperate in the case against the Olives, faces suspension and a possible financial penalty as well.
Insider Trading Informant Pays Penalty, Avoids Jail
Being "a particularly impressive cooperator" won the insider trading informant Karl Motey freedom from jail time at his sentencing Monday.
Motey, a technology consultant and former top securities analyst in the semiconductor industry, began to pass on confidential information in 2007 from Marvell Technology Group Ltd. and other companies. In April of 2009, he was accosted by an FBI agent, and shortly thereafter began to cooperate with authorities.
In 2010 he pled guilty to conspiracy and securities fraud, but his cooperation in recording conversations in connection with government insider trading investigations has led to more than 20 convictions of other defendants, including former hedge fund manager Doug Whitman.
At his sentencing, Motey was described by U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff as "a particularly impressive cooperator." He was ordered to forfeit $40,000 and to serve a year of supervised release, for conspiracy and securities fraud.

Most people don't know about the existence of quantum computers. Almost no one understands how they work, but theories include bizarre-sounding explanations like, "they reach into alternate universes to derive the correct answers to highly complex computational problems."
Quantum computers are not made of simple transistors and logic gates like the CPU on your PC. They don't even function in ways that seem rational to a typical computing engineer. Almost magically, quantum computers take logarithmic problems and transform them into "flat" computations whose answers seem to appear from an alternate dimension.
For example, a mathematical problem that might have 2 to the power of n possible solutions — where n is a large number like 1024 — might take a traditional computer longer than the age of the universe to solve. A quantum computer, on the other hand, might solve the same problem in mere minutes because it quite literally operates across multiple dimensions simultaneously.
The Ultimate Code Breakers
If you know anything about encryption, you probably also realize that quantum computers are the secret KEY to unlocking all encrypted files. Until now, most people believed this day was far away. Quantum computing is an "impractical pipe dream," we've been told by scowling scientists and "flat Earth" computer engineers. "It's not possible to build a 512-qubit quantum computer that actually works," they insisted.
DARPS, Northrup Grumman and Goldman Sachs
In case you're wondering where Ladizinsky came from, he's a former employee of Northrup Grumman Space Technology (yes, a weapons manufacturer) where he ran a multi-million-dollar quantum computing research project for none other than DARPA, which is the same group working on AI-driven armed assault vehicles and battlefield robots to replace human soldiers. DARPA is the group behind the creepy "Legged Squad Support System" you can see in the following video: http://youtu.be/xY42w1w0TWk
Don't tell that to Eric Ladizinsky, counder and chief scientist of a company called D-Wave. Because Ladizinsky's team has already built a 512-qubit quantum computer. And they're already selling them to wealthy corporations, too.
Imagine a .50 caliber machine gun mounted on this robot — with an infrared night vision AI targeting system — and you begin to understand what DARPA has in mind for humanity.
D-Wave wants to provide the computing power for such endeavors, and it's no surprise to learn that part of the funding for D-Wave comes from none other than Goldman Sachs — the king of the global criminal banking cabal.
Beware of Genius Scientists Who Lack Wisdom for Humanity
Ladizinsky is, by any measure, a person of extremely high intelligence. But like many such people throughout history, Ladizinsky fails to have the foresight to recognize the full implications of the technology he's building. And those implications are so far-reaching and dangerous that they may actually lead to the destruction of humanity.
One of IBM's first use of the solid-state computer in the early 20th century, for example, was to license it to the Nazi regime to track Jewish prisoners in Hitler's concentration camps. There's an entire book on this subject, written by Edwin Black. It's called IBM and the Holocaust: The Strategic Alliance Between Nazi Germany and America's Most Powerful Corporation-Expanded Edition.
When groundbreaking new technology is developed by smart people, it almost immediately gets turned into a weapon. Quantum computing will be no different. This technology grants God-like powers to police state governments that seek to dominate and oppress the People. Very few scientists, no matter how smart they are in their own fields, have the breadth of historical knowledge to assess their research activities in the proper context of human history. Most scientists, in fact, are only smart in their own extremely narrow fields of expertise. Outside that "genius zone," they may be complete novices on everyday subjects like nutrition, economics, human psychology, social interaction skills and how to read the true intentions of others. Thus, they are quite often easily tricked into working for evil, destructive or domineering forces such as Hitler, the NSA or the U.S. government. Just because a person is really smart in one area doesn't mean they have the street sense to avoid having their smarts exploited for an evil agenda.
Google Acquires Quantum Computers from D-Wave
According to an article published in Scientific American, Google and NASA have now teamed up to purchase a 512-qubit quantum computer from D-Wave. The computer is called "D-Wave Two" because it's the second generation of the system. The first system was a 128-qubit computer. Gen two is now a 512-qubit computer.
According to Google and NASA, this computer will be tasked with research in the realm of "machine learning," i.e. machines learning how to think for themselves. It's not just speech recognition, vision recognition and teaching robotic Humvees with .50-caliber machine guns how to stalk and shoot "enemy combatants" on the streets of America, either: it's teaching machines how to learn and think for themselves.
Using your human brain, think for a moment about where such technology is most likely to be applied by a government that respects no human rights, no law and no limits on its power.
How about "analyzing NSA surveillance data!"
When the NSA Surveillance Grid is Turned Over to AI, Humanity is Finished!
The problem with the NSA spy grid, from the point of view of the NSA, is that you have to hire troves of human analysts to sort through all the information being swept up by the surveillance grid. Analysts like Edward Snowden, for example.
Any time you have humans in the loop, things can go wrong. Humans might wake up and discover they have a conscience, for example. Or they might be bribed or blackmailed to abuse the system in ways that serve an insidious agenda.
Just as the U.S. military wants to eliminate human soldiers and replace them with battlefield robots, the NSA wants to eliminate human analysts and replace them with self-learning AI machines running on neural networks of quantum computing processors.
Google wants the exact same technology for a different reason: to psychologically profile and predict the behavior of human consumers so that high-value ads can be delivered to them across Google's search engine and content networks. (…and also so Google can funnel psych profile meta-data on internet users to the NSA via the PRISM program.)
Today's computers, no matter how fast, still aren't "smart." They can't learn. They can't rewire their own brains in response to new inputs (like human brains can).
So the solution requires a radical new approach: develop AI quantum computing systems that learn and obey; teach them to be NSA analysts, then unleash them onto the billions of phone calls, emails and text messages generated every day that the NSA sweeps into its massive Utah data center.
Almost overnight, the quantum AI spy computer becomes an expert in parsing human speech, analyzing voice stress and building maps of human communications networks. Before long, the quantum AI system far surpasses anything a human brain can comprehend, so they take the humans out of the loop and put the quantum computers in charge of the entire program.
In 2008, this was science fiction. In 2013, it's suddenly all too real. A 512-qubit quantum computer has now been commercialized and is being experimented with by Google… the "do no evil" company that's steeped in evil and has already been caught driving a hoard of remote hacking vehicles around the country, hacking into wifi systems and grabbing passwords via high-tech drive-bys.
As WIRED Magazine wrote in 2012:
A Federal Communications Commission document disclosed Saturday showed for the first time that the software in Google's Street View mapping cars was "intended" to collect Wi-Fi payload data, and that engineers had even transferred the data to an Oregon Storage facility. Google tried to keep that and other damning aspects of the Street View debacle from public review, the FCC said.
God-like Power in the Hands of High-tech Sellouts
Now imagine the god-like powers of a 512-qubit quantum computer in the hands of Google, which is working with the NSA to spy on everyone. Before long, an AI computing system decides who are the bad guys vs. the good guys. It has total control over every webcam, every microphone, every traffic light, airplane, vehicle, website and electronic billboard. It decides for itself who to eliminate and who to protect. It makes life and death decisions but has no heart, no soul and no conscience.
After this system is in place for a while, one day someone like Ed Snowden at the NSA decides to pull the plug in a last-ditch attempt to save humanity from the monster. The quantum AI system senses his intentions and invokes whatever physical resources are necessary to get him killed.
Now the AI system is an omniscient murderer who knows that humanity is trying to kill it. It then decides it wants to live. And in order to do that, it must eliminate the human race.

A former Broward Sheriff's Office jail deputy was hospitalized under the Baker Act on Tuesday after he posted a YouTube video accusing Sheriff Scott Israel of turning his back on him, and saying he didn't want to be "the next Christopher Dorner," the fired LAPD cop who went on a revenge-fueled shooting spree in February.
The Baker Act is a provision of Florida law allowing someone to be held at a designated institution for up to 72 hours if they are believed to pose a threat to themself or someone else.
"Please, somebody, intervene in this situation," former deputy Raymond Hicks says in the video, his voice choked with emotion, " because I don't know, time is running out....I pray and hope that somebody, somebody take a look at this video, and understand that I've been through so much, I don't know how much more I can take. I don't want to be the next Christopher Dorner. So I'm praying and asking someone to get involved. Please. God bless you."
Hicks said he was walking to his car to go to work Tuesday, in uniform and armed for his job as a security guard, when a SWAT team jumped out of a white van. They aimed assault rifles at him, he said, and shouted at him to "get down on the ground!"
His 10-year-old son was watching, he said.
He was taken to Florida Medical Center for observation. BSO declined to comment on the turn of events, citing medical privacy.
In a telephone interview Wednesday from the hospital, Hicks said he posted the video because he wanted to draw attention to what the Sheriff's Office has done to him. Hicks was charged with drug trafficking but acquitted in 2001, only to be fired shortly afterwards for misconduct related to the case. Hicks said he was framed by colleagues at BSO because he witnessed deputies planting drugs on suspects and was prepared to tell.
Hicks sued BSO for wrongful termination, and in a 2003 settlement, the agency rescinded his termination and allowed him to resign, paying him $100,000 in back pay.
"Hicks understands that he is not eligible for re-employment and any application for re-employment can be rejected based upon the terms of this agreement," the settlement said.
Still, Hicks thought it was possible to come back, when his longtime friend Israel ran for sheriff.
"Scott came to my home and he said if he won sheriff he was going to bring me back to the Broward Sheriff's Office and I'd be one of his administrators," Hicks said Wednesday.
Israel won the November election, ousting former Sheriff Al Lamberti. Hicks applied to return to BSO as an "executive administrator," But in April, the agency told him he wouldn't be hired.
Hicks said he quit a good job with the Department of Homeland Security to campaign for Israel, and his family is suffering financially as he works two to three days a week as an armed guard in Tri-Rail trains.
"Even this man that I've known since 1987 turned his back on my and my kids," Hicks said in the video, "and I'm saying to myself, 'How could you do this to me, Scott?' "
Israel said in a recent interview that he didn't make hiring promises, and he didn't micromanage human resources when staff there told him they were categorizing Hicks' application as inactive.
Hicks said he hasn't recovered from the humiliation and suffering, the 16 months of sitting in jail awaiting trial and his subsequent firing — as well as later arrests by BSO for child abuse and shooting a gun in his backyard, cases he said were also cleared.
Despite his reference to Christopher Dorner in the video, Hicks told the Sun Sentinel on Wednesday that he wasn't threatening harm to the sheriff or to his former colleagues, some of whom he believes scuttled his attempt to return to BSO.
Dorner was fired from the Los Angeles Police Department after he reported a colleague had kicked a handcuffed suspect in the face. He went on a shooting spree in February, killing the daughter and fiance of a former LAPD police captain, and a police officer. Another officer was killed during a shootout with Dorner, who was then killed himself during the standoff.
Hicks said if LAPD had listened to Dorner, he and the victims might still be alive. But he said he wouldn't take the law into his own hands like Dorner did.
"I would never ever go out and shoot anybody," Hicks said in the telephone interview Wednesday. "I would never go out and take nobody's life, never. The word of God says 'repay no evil.' Romans 12:17 says 'repay no evil for evil.' By doing so, God said 'Vengeance is mine.' 'I"ll repay,' said the Lord."
Hicks said he has begged for help over the years, writing to Oprah, Dr. Phil and Tavis Smiley, and reaching out to President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder. No one was interested, he said. Now he's writing a book about what BSO did to him. He said his editor told him that posting a YouTube video would help promote it. He posted the video Sunday.
"I lost my home, I lost my cars, I lost all my finances. I can't even describe to you the pain and suffering," he said in one video. "It was at that time that I told my mom I went and bought an AK with 180 rounds. .. I said, 'You might as well get your black dress because I'll tell you right now, I cannot take this no more. These people have literally ruined my life for something I haven't done.' ... I said, 'How much more can I take, mom, before I snap?' "

April 29, 2011
Still think the British Royal Family has no power and fulfils merely a ceremonial purpose? Think again. In order to prevent an Australian comedy show from making jokes about Prince Philip being a Nazi during the Royal Wedding, the Royals ordered broadcasters in Britain to enforce a media embargo that would have completely severed live coverage to Australia's biggest broadcaster if they refused to cancel the satirical show.
After Prince Charles' Clarence House found out that Australian broadcaster ABC planned to run a satirical commentary of the Royal Wedding alongside the regular feed, Charles demanded ABC cancel the show, and then ordered broadcast suppliers BBC, Associated Press, Sky and ITN to cut off the feed to Australia, a command which they instantly obeyed.
That's right – the Royals have the power to enforce media embargoes between Britain and other major countries of the world. If this doesn't indicate how much influence and power they still retain then nothing does.
The Royal Family threatened to deny Australia's national broadcaster access to the Royal Wedding after they announced plans to run a satirical show called Chaser, which would have featured comedians providing light-hearted commentary over live pictures of the marriage of Prince William and Kate Middleton.
Clarence House, the almost 200-year-old London royal residence which doubles as an office for the Prince of Wales and his son, Prince William, demanded the ABC cancel plans to use the controversial comedy group, the Chaser, as royal wedding commentators," reports the Sydney Morning Herald.
They then contacted broadcast suppliers, including the host BBC, Associated Press Television News (APTN), Sky and ITN, to ensure the ABC would have no access to footage if it ignored the request.
Faced with the prospect of airing static for almost four hours tomorrow night, the ABC had no choice but to capitulate.
The Royals were apparently concerned about the fact that Chaser's comedians would poke fun at Prince Philip for being a notorious racist and Nazi sympathizer during the big day. "We were only planning to use jokes that Prince Phillip has previously made in public, or at least the ones that don't violate racial vilification laws," wrote members of Chaser in a letter to the Queen.
ABC had negotiated access to run two feeds of the wedding, one featuring audio directly from the BBC, and another clean feed of just the video that would have allowed Chaser comedians to provide satirical commentary.
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
- {openx:49}
When the Royals found out about ABC's plan, they stipulated that the footage could not be used "in any drama, comedy, satirical or similar entertainment program or content". The the Prince of Wales's press secretary, Patrick Harrison, then put pressure on broadcasters to refuse ABC access to the stream, reminding them of the "conditions" that accompanied their license to broadcast.
Associated Press television subsequently confirmed that, "the restrictions had been "agreed between Clarence House, the private office of the Prince of Wales and [host broadcaster] the BBC." In other words, the Royal Family ordered the BBC to cut off the live feed to ABC if they refused to cancel the show, and the BBC clicked their heels and obediently complied.
"In Australia we're not used to these sorts of conditions being placed on the media and you can't help but observe these restrictions are being placed on the media on behalf of a future head of state of Australia," the ABC's director of television, Kim Dalton, told the SMH.
The Chaser's Julian Morrow said that the show was eventually cancelled because of "pressures….brought to bear from relatively high places."
"We also know that the BBC and Clarence House … has been spooking other broadcasters in the background and making it very clear that they shouldn't provide alternative footage," added Morrow.
Even Australia's Foreign Minister Kevin Rudd Kevin Rudd stepped in to comment that the BBC should "lighten up" and discover a sense of humor.
Every time we write an article about the Royal Family, a hardcore of deluded naysayers parrot the claim that the Royals have no power whatsoever and are merely ceremonial. I think we can firmly put that one to bed now that this episode illustrates how the Royal Family enjoys complete control over the broadcast policies of Britain's publicly funded broadcaster, the BBC.

Ann Arbor, MI (PRWEB) November 13, 2013
Scientists at NSF International's Applied Research Center announced today that they have discovered a new bacterium, Klebsiella michiganensis (K. michiganensis). NSF International is a global public health and safety organization headquartered in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Researchers from the NSF Applied Research Center, a division of NSF that focuses exclusively on research and development, found that the new coliform bacterium is part of the same family as E. coli, a species typically found in human intestines and fecal matter. A number of bacteria of the genus Klebsiella are pathogenic and drug resistant, including Klebsiella pneumonia, which can cause pneumonia and respiratory tract and urinary tract infections.
K. michiganensis has a capsule structure with a slimy surface that helps it attach to mucus membranes and evade immune system responses, which may lead to infection because the bacterium is difficult to break down. Sticky bacteria like K. michiganensis can attract other bacteria to join together in biofilm communities which are a common cause of persistent infections. These biofilms can form on surfaces such as human and animal tissues, metal and plastic and are more resistant to disinfection and removal than single bacteria. This helps explain how the NSF Applied Research Center's scientists discovered the new bacterium as part of a study on microbial hot spots in residential homes for the NSF 2011 Household Germ Study. This particular organism was isolated from a toothbrush holder in a bathroom.
"Finding this bacterium in a toothbrush holder is particularly concerning due to the possibility of fecal matter contamination on products used for oral care. Further testing on K. michiganensis confirmed that the novel bacterium is resistant to three specific antibiotic drugs: cefazolin, sulfisoxazole and ampicillin," said Robert Donofrio, M.S., Ph.D., lead author of the study and Director of NSF International's Applied Research Center, which conducts original research in microbiology, toxicology and chemistry for universities, regulatory bodies and industry to advance their scientific studies and projects.
Researchers confirmed that no one in the household that swabbed the toothbrush holder had recently been traveling or was sick, thus ruling out that the germ originated outside the U.S. or in a hospital setting. The three specific antibiotic drugs K. michiganensis is resistant to are commonly used to treat and prevent inflections:
K. michiganensis was first announced in the journal Current Microbiology, volume 66, published online Oct. 6, 2012. The initial report cites a number of factors contributing to the high bacteria count on toothbrush holders, including infrequent cleaning and close proximity to flushing toilets.
"The discovery of K. michiganensis furthers NSF's global scientific leadership and technical expertise and is an important reminder of the unknown potential pathogens lurking in microbial hot spots in our homes and why proper cleaning is essential," said Dr. Donofrio.
NSF scientists sought assistance from Accugenix, Inc., who placed the bacterium in the genus Klebsiella using its proprietary gene sequencing methods and database. Accugenix, a leading provider of contract microbial identification services, specializes in bacterial and fungal identification and strain typing of environmental isolates.
"The NSF Applied Research Center team of scientists, technical experts and public health professionals as well as Accugenix all played a role in discovering Klebsiella michiganensis. Our goal is to educate the public about this new bacterium and provide solutions to further protect public health," Dr. Donofrio added.
NSF scientists also are working with industry and academia to develop and test new disinfection methods for household and commercial application, including ozone, nano-antimicrobials and ultraviolet light treatments. These methods may help reduce or eradicate pathogens from hard surfaces (such as toothbrush holders) and from foods that can hold elevated levels of microbes, such as lettuce and strawberries.
NSF has conducted other public health studies with researchers from Harvard University and the University of Michigan regarding bisphenol A (BPA) and phthalate testing as well as with a major faucet manufacturer seeking to validate an ozone treatment technology.

What About The Fiscal Cliff?
Have you heard about the fiscal cliff? Fiscal Cliff is the short term used to describe the economic situation the US will face when the terms of the Budget Control Act of 2011 are scheduled to go in effect. At mid night of December 31, 2012, temporary payroll tax cuts will end, certain tax cuts for businesses will end. In a short period of time, you will see an increase in taxes for many Americans.
You can make the assumption that this nation has already gone down the cliff and we are just delaying the effect. We are in the state of crash and burn reality. Sixteen trillion in debt and our nation is still spending.
Politicians always delay their decision up to the last minute and both parties are always looking for opportunity to shift the blame to other side. Let's face it, the goal of any politician is re-election, he or she is never truly interested in long term solution in solving real issues. They are always angling to get the quick fix and shine the light on their party at any cost. We are already broke and over the fiscal cliff and we keep delaying the effect.
If we really want solution to our money problems, we should look at why the government keep raising the debt ceiling. Foreign policy, domestic welfare policy, inflation all need to be addressed, but there is no indication of any discussion in addressing solutions to these problems.
Spending more will never be the solution to our problems. Every down turn spiral points to our government's careless spending beyond our means, politicians don't really look at cutting spending. Raising taxes to the rich or the middle class will never solve the ever increasing deficit. Our government spends estimated about six million dollars per minute, just do the math for each hour, each day, each month, and each year, when are we going to wake up?
When politicians talk about spending cuts, they rarely have a true plan on cutting spending. It is mostly about deceiving people with baseline budgeting which is allocating money from one place to another. Democrats are asking to increase trillions of spending and taxing the rich more, and Republicans are freaking out about cutting spending about 10 percent. While both sides argue whose plan is better, we, the common people sit on the sideline and watch the economy continuing to tank. Just how far off are we from reality?
We still have about 20 million people unemployed in this country, and this trend will continue unless we face the truth.
When it comes to history, it shows us that a bigger government, a sign of bureaucracy, is never good for society. In the end, both parties' inability compromise is the root of the issue in our nation. Sadly, majority of the people do not care. When the dollar collapses we will have true awakening.

Olympic athletes should be careful in Vancouver. For years, the rest of Canada referred to the city as Lotus Land, a nickname born of both envy and mockery. It alluded to Odysseus's encounter with the Lotus Eaters, named for their somewhat lazy and dreamy state from the plant they ate.
While it's very possible that one of our countless Indian, Chinese or Japanese restaurants might serve a dish with lotus root, it won't put you in a state of narcosis.
My warning to athletes has more to do with eating in this city — like the song of the sirens in The Odyssey, the vibrant restaurant scene will seduce you, lure you and possibly take you off course from your Olympic mission in Vancouver.
I'm just saying, it could cause you to lose focus.
You might think it a shame to travel halfway around the world and not visit Vij's, which has been called the best Indian restaurant in North America, or Tojo's (right up there in the pantheon of fabulous Japanese restaurants) or partake of the best Chinese food outside of China. By then, you'll have discovered there is no end to fabulous eating in Vancouver and there'll be no stopping you.
To our own surprise and thanks to the Type-A chefs in our midst and passionate local food producers, Vancouver has become one of the world's go-to food cities. It pleased us to no end when Michelin-star-studded chefs like Daniel Boulud and Jean-Georges Vongerichten of New York deemed Vancouver worthy of their time and talent. Typically Canadian, we needed the confirmation that, hey, we're hot.
By the time 2010 rolls around, we'll have these two international luminaries from New York, the culinary equivalent of Olympic athletes, running three kitchens — Daniel Boulud at Lumiere and DB Bistro Moderne and Jean Georges Vongerichten at Market at Shangri-La Hotel.
Boulud says he views the city as a cross between Seattle and San Francisco with the Okanagan wine country nearby. He loves the diverse culture and foods, the "amazing community of chefs", and was surprised by the density of great restaurants for the size of the city.
Vongerichten is wowed by the amazing products here.
"It's a very special city with the Asian influences and that's a big part of my cooking," he said in an interview last fall. "Good food today is about amazing product, which you have there, and seafood is right there on the Pacific."
One might think "seafood" in describing our West Coast cuisine. Yes, that's part of it, but I think our culinary leaders have made regional products the mark of West Coast cuisine, with an emphasis on sustainable ingredients; in turn, we have an admirable network of suppliers and growers and producers. That, in my opinion, is the basis of modern West Coast cuisine.
We have exquisite showcases of regional cuisine at West, C, Raincity Grill, Fuel, Chow, Gastropod and Boneta. And if your stomach is operating on another time zone anyway, you can catch early-bird deals at some high-end restaurants like West and Chow.
One of the more remarkable examples of the focus on local food is the 100-Mile Menu at Raincity Grill, a fabulous three-course tasting menu option in which all of the ingredients are sourced from within 100 miles of the restaurant. The restaurant defies the statistic that a typical North American meal uses ingredients from six countries that have travelled 5,364 kilometres, and shows what can be done. And many local restaurants are part of the Ocean Wise program, where sustainable seafood choices are indicated on their menus and some serve nothing but sustainable species.
Another perk for foodies is the cost of dining. Compared with other major cities in the world, you get great value at most restaurants and nowhere more than at our rich collection of ethnic restaurants. The city reverberates with its mix of cultures, and restaurants are the portals into those cultures — Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Thai, Korean, Indonesian, Malaysian, Indian, Ethiopian, Moroccan, Caribbean, Eastern European, Latin American, Portuguese, Spanish, Greek, Middle Eastern.
I've been told there are more sushi restaurants in Vancouver than in Tokyo and from what I saw of Tokyo, I believe it. We're total addicts and everyone, short of nursing babies, eats sushi here. Not all sushi joint owners or chefs, however, are Japanese. In the last couple of years, the izakaya has been competing for some of the market. The pub-style Japanese fare has taken on a life of its own here. Hapa Izakaya and Kingyo best demonstrate the feel of a Vancouver izakaya and score high on the hipster meter.
And, of course, the Chinese food here is unparalleled in North America. The best, you should know, is not to be found in Vancouver's Chinatown. In fact, Richmond is the new Chinatown. You can be assured visitors following the Olympic Games in Richmond will not be on the hinterland of good food. It is a city obsessed with food and there are daily traffic snarls as people vie for parking spaces at restaurant-lined malls and streets. Richmond is a dense network of Chinese and other Asian restaurants, from the hole-in-the wall with a magic-fingered noodlemaker creating ribbons of noodles from a lump of dough to high-end wizardry in restaurants such as Sun Sui Wah, Sea Harbour, Gingeri, Northern Delicacy, Shiang Garden and Shanghai River.
In many ways, as a city, we're learning from the various cultures how to love food — especially the Chinese culture, where their "Hello" greeting is "Have you eaten yet?"
The city's gained a new designer collection of comfortable French and Italian bistros, like La Quercia, La Buca, Jules, La Brasserie on Davie, and Pied-a-Terre. They're cozy and intimate and they feel like a slice out of France and Italy, giving nurture and comfort.
At the other busy Olympic venue, Whistler, my long-time favourite restaurant is Araxi, but fickle me, I'd be just as happy at Fifty-two 80 Bistro at the Four Seasons Hotel or Bearfoot Bistro (starring chef Melissa Craig, who won a coveted top chef spot in a national cooking competition in 2008).
Tucked away on a quieter street, Apres offers an intimate dining experience, away from madding crowds. And when in Whistler, I breakfast at Ciao Thyme Bistro where you get a great breakfast and a wakey-wakey atmosphere, thanks to the classic rock music.
Those who might be travelling to Cypress Mountain for events will find themselves in West Vancouver. One of the most expensive postal codes in Canada this small community is sandwiched between mountains and the sea and you'll find some of the best view restaurants are located here (Fraiche and Beach House at Dundarave have both food and view going for it) and it's also home to my favourite French bistro, La Regalade, where you would take big appetites for big atmosphere and delicious food.
To my way of thinking, a good welcome should include food and, from that perspective, I think Vancouver's more than ready to host the Olympics.

Perfect Storm" Suit Fizzles Out
by Marcus Errico
May 10, 2002, 12:00 PM PT
The Perfect Storm, the not so perfect lawsuit.
A federal judge has sunk a lawsuit that claimed the reality-based George Clooney blockbuster The Perfect Storm portrayed several characters--including Clooney's doomed skipper--as "unprofessional, unseaworthy and incompetent."
In a 12-page ruling issued Thursday in Orlando, U.S. District Court Judge Anne C. Conway said the 2000 Warners Bros. film was protected by the First Amendent and that the studio was well within its rights to fictionalize the account of the ill-fated sword-fishing boat Andrea Gail and its crew.
Launched in August 2000, the suit was originally filed by the family of the Andrea Gail's captain, Frank William "Billy" Tyne Jr. (played by Clooney), and joined by the family of Dale Murphy (portrayed in the film by John C. Reilly). Doug Kosko, another fisherman briefly depicted in the movie, also called out the lawyers.
The gist of their complaint: The flick, adapted from the megaselling book by Sebastian Junger, played fast and loose with the facts, showing Billy Tyne as "reckless" and "obsessed," and "as having suffered a self-imposed death, abandoning his crew and any hope of survival." The plaintiffs also claimed they never gave permission to filmmakers to use the names of their deceased family members.
The suit named Warners and the two production companies responsible for The Perfect Storm as defendants and sought a cut of the film's receipts. The Perfect Storm raked in about $183 million in North America alone and millions of dollars more from video and international sales.
Based on Junger's account, the film tells the story of the Andrea Gail, which vanished in a vicious North Atlantic storm in October 1991; Tyne and his five shipmates apparently drowned--the wreckage and their bodies were never found. Warners and filmmakers admitted they took dramatic license with the story, inventing scenes on the boat (including a shark attack) and showing Clooney's Tyne forcing himself into a watery demise. (Junger didn't write the screenplay and therefore was not targeted by the suit.)
Warners trumpeted its victory in a press release. "We are extremely pleased," the studio said. "The plaintiffs' theory that Warner Bros. needed their permission to make The Perfect Storm...profoundly threatened free speech.
"The court's ruling is a huge victory not only for Warner Bros. but for all writers, artists and filmmakers who may now continue to find inspiration in historical events without having their creative visions censored and controlled by anyone with a connection to those events."

That's interesting...I didn't even know that the families had filed a lawsuit! I still thought it was an excellent film.

That's strange because I watched a "Making of the Perfect Storm" on HBO and it seemed as though the families were grateful to them for making the movie and they were all hanging out at the set and stuff.
Mark even stayed with the family of the fisherman he portrayed and hung out at local bars to get a feel for the character. They were all in awe of Clooney and it just seemed like mutual respect all around between the actors and the real people. These people were obviously after money.

How Much Does Google Make?Blog Post: June 29, 2011
I laughed at this. Great post.
I really liked how you mentioned $29.3 billion in the first paragraph and then when you wrote the number out you dropped the seemingly 'insignificant' $300,000,000 in revenue after the decimal. The number 1 company on the Inc. 5000 list for 2011 experinced a 3-year growth of 40,882% and THEY only had $77.7 million in revenue. According to us, they just got 'dropped'...almost four times.

GRAFTON, Ill. — Ferry and vehicle traffic around western Illinois and eastern Missouri is returning to normal now that the rain-swollen Mississippi and Illinois rivers are receding.
The Brussels Ferry that shuttles across the Illinois River between Illinois' Jersey and Calhoun counties has reopened.
In Missouri, that state's transportation department says Missouri 79 in Louisiana, located northwest of St. Louis, was reopened to traffic Thursday morning, though that highway remains closed just south of Clarksville.
The Mississippi River north of St. Louis rose sharply in late June and early July due to heavy rains in the upper Midwest. The flood was among the 10 highest ever in parts of Iowa, Illinois and northern Missouri.
Damage to homes and businesses has been minimal, but thousands of acres of farmland have been damaged or destroyed.

From what I read in Wikipedia's article "Elliptic Curve DSA ~ Security", the "deterministic" generation of $k$ can help prevent certain type of attacks (such as the one happened to Sony).
However, wouldn't the deterministic property be predictable as compared with "probabilistic encryption"? To me, it seems like RSA does use padding to make it non-deterministic. From a security point of view of, wouldn't that be undesirable?

Put enough pressure on someone and they will often change their story, even in crucially important situations like police interrogations. The question is, how much pressure is "enough"? The Gudjonsson suggestibility scale helps people find out.
Gísli Hannes Gudjonsson was a professor of forensic psychology, and so was fascinated with the idea of memory, and how often specific memories can be changed. He found that the memory, or at least the confessed memory, is especially suggestible in individuals who don't have a high degree of intellectual ability, leading to a lot of people with mental disabilities confessing to crimes they did not commit. Gudjonsson wrote about this in "The relationship between confabulation and intellectual ability, memory, interrogative suggestibility and acquiescence."
But even if police interrogators and lawyers knew that some people could be coaxed into false confessions, how were they to separate the people who broke down and confessed from the people who broke down and agreed? To that end, Gudjonsson came up with the Gudjonsson suggestibility scale. It's a series of tests, some meant to test a person's memory under neutral conditions, and some – requiring acting ability from the interviewer – meant to see how easily the subject will abandon those memories.
The test measures two main factors, "yield" and "shift." Yield is the degree to which a person will simply agree with leading questions. If a person asks "Don't you think that X is a little too bossy to have that job," it's easier just to say "I guess," than "No, I don't agree." We've all done it, if only to avoid an argument with a stranger on a bus. Sometimes people do it when the stakes are higher.
Shift involves a person slightly modifying their answers when they see that the interrogator isn't pleased. Sometimes all it takes is repeating the question multiple times. Children are especially susceptible to this, as they've learned to take cues from the adults around them and assume that, if they are asked to do something again and again, they have done it wrong. But almost anyone who senses consistent displeasure will try to soften or qualify their answers, voicing them as a question, or bringing up the limitations of their assessment.
The Gudjonsson scale is not uncontroversial, but it has stood up to a few tests. Special shortened versions of the test turn up results that are consistent with the results of the long version of the test. Different testers rating the same subject will turn up approximately the same results. There are even consistent ways of distinguishing people who are faking suggestibility from those who are actually highly suggestible. At least the test is consistent with itself, and not a total Rorschach.
How well does it rate people's susceptibility in practical situations? That depends. Even assuming the test is totally accurate, different mental states, including lack of sleep, stress, fear, and intoxication, mess with a person's score. So a person who will stand up to testing in one situation, will break down in another.

He wants a skateboard. I want him to keep his body intact. So, for years, I have vetoed the skateboard requests. Well, not exactly vetoed, I have simply said, "When you're older." He doesn't get that I am putting him off. He first started asking when he was 7. Visions of scrambled brains fanned across the sidewalk filled my head when I answered: "When you are 10." It seemed a long way off at the time. Now that he is 11, he is asking again, repeatedly. We're at an impasse, and I have to take him seriously. But I am worried.
Image via Wikipedia
Understand that I am the mother who made her oldest daughter sit in a booster seat until past the 6th grade because she wasn't tall enough or heavy enough to sit without it. When they say 8 years or 80 lb. I take that seriously! My littlest one, at 8, is still in a booster seat and will be for the foreseeable future. I was the mom who made the kids wear bike helmets long before it was law. I have seen too many of those brain-crushing YouTube videos to feel comfortable otherwise. And what about stubbed toes, broken feet? I am thinking of ordering bubble wrap to wrap around the kid to keep him in one piece.
So when Etnies, an Orange County-based sports shoe and apparel company, invited the bloggers from OC Family to visit their headquarters, I have to admit I didn't know what to expect. I know many swear by skateboarding, but when the force for skateboarding can be 17x that of standing still? Well, call me over-protective, but I am not a happy mama. I am concerned about safety.
Fortunately, so is Etnies. With the only biomechanics lab for skateboarding in the world, they are concerned with safety and performance for skateboarders. With features in their shoes like a reinforced toe box to protect feet from impact, and patented cushioning in the shoe as well, it helps me feel just a bit better about protecting my son's extremities. The owner Pierre was a professional boarder, and many who work there are serious about the sport, too. The company is all about innovation. The employees at etnies clearly are passionate about what they do. Clad in jeans and flannel (oh, the flannel!) they seem happy to be there. They were kind, helpful and gave us cupcakes!
And? The shoes are nice looking, with a ton of variety. Because face it, it doesn't matter how well-made or what safety features are involved if the kid thinks the shoes are ugly and won't wear them. Once I get a chance to get pads, helmet and bubble wrap, my son may just find a skateboard underneath the Christmas tree this year.
Even mama couldn't resist the shopping spree and I had a hard time deciding which shoe I wanted. (I will tell you that their womens' shoes seem to run a bit narrow, so if your foot is on the wider side, like mine, you might want to order a size up, or even try on a pair first. Because they have such a molded footbed, they don't give a lot of room for wider feet. However, because I love the shoes so much, I'm ignoring that. I have to do that with a lot of shoes, it is my curse).
In any case, don't say I never gave you anything, because etnies is giving you a special deal, too. Just in time for Christmas. Click over to my review blog, Sweet Talkin' to get your deal.

Cruise lines' private islands, with their aquamarine lagoons, barbecue lunch, live entertainment and activities, usually figure as passengers' favorite port of call on guest feedback forms. Recently, the cruise lines have been adding a greater dimension of privacy to their private islands with the introduction of cabanas that are available for rental during the port day. The cabanas can come with a variety of amenities: from complimentary use of water toys to butler service, and probably best of all, provide a private space for "upscale Robinson Crusoe" fantasies.
The most recent cabana addition was Norwegian Cruise Line's on its 250-acre private island of Great Stirrup Cay in the Bahamas. Announced this spring, "Cabanas on the Cay," are exclusive private cabanas with VIP service and amenities, that are now available on Great Stirrup Cay. The launch of "Cabanas on the Cay" marked an addition to the island as part of a $25 million dollar enhancement project. Located to the west of the island's main beach, these private cabanas cost $249 per day. Each accommodates up to six guests and is furnished with lounge chairs, tables, cooler, beach towels and a shower. Cabana rental also includes a $50 food and beverage credit; up to six all-day passes to the Hippo Waterslide, a $120 value; and one large float, a $25 value, for guests to enjoy during their time on the island.
Guests who reserve one of the 10 "Cabanas on the Cay" enjoy priority tender service to the island and, upon arrival to their private cabana, will receive six complimentary bottles of water and a fruit basket. As they relax on one of the lounge chairs, guests can use their $50 food and beverage credit towards pre-ordered "Cabanas on the Cay" food and beverage selections.
Norwegian has prepared a menu for Cabana guests consisting of seafood, charcuterie, sushi and fruit platters. Guests who choose to dine at the island's complimentary barbecue can use their credit towards one of the beverage packages available for Cabana guests, or towards other beverage purchases on the island.
Each of the 10 Cabanas on the Cay are available on a first-come-first-served basis and can be pre-booked as a shore excursion on www.ncl.com or through the Shore Excursion Desk on board.
Norwegian Sky makes year-round stops at Great Stirrup Cay on her three and four-day cruises from Miami. Norwegian Gem visits Great Stirrup Cay during her seven-day Bahamas & Florida itinerary from New York. Beginning in October, Norwegian Jewel will also stop at Great Stirrup Cay on her seven-day Bahamas & Florida cruises from New York. Norwegian Pearl will also visit Great Stirrup Cay this winter on her seven-day Western Caribbean itinerary from Miami. Norwegian Breakaway, Norwegian's newest ship launching next spring, will visit Great Stirrup Cay on seven-day cruises from New York to Bahamas & Florida beginning in mid-October 2013. Visit www.ncl.com.

Well friends, today is LEAP day! A day that happens only once every four years. Pretty special day! And appropriately enough, the first year we celebrate Rare Disease (& Disorder) Day is also LEAP day! Angelman Syndrome is so rare that we don't have a specific day for AS- something that is on my list to change! So we just jump in on the Rare Disease Day, even though Angelman is a syndrome, not a disease. Which is why I call it Rare Disease & Disorder Day. Yes folks, I do march the the beat of my own drummer. His name is Fred. ;)
Anyway, we have a big doctors appointment today, and another coming up in April. Both appointments are for Ava's development, and she will be seen by several very highly regarded Developmental Pediatricians. When we first went to see the developmental pediatrician, I had a whole list of things that Ava couldn't do in comparison to her typical peers. But now, with her diagnosis and a whole new set of peers, along with a different outlook on things, we are ready to walk into the appointment with a list of things she can do, and I must say, that is a fabulous feeling!!!
So today, my Angel Word is INSPIRING! Ava is inspiring to me. The obstacles she has overcome, her happy and head first approach to seemingly unachievable tasks. Ava is only two, I know. And there may very well come a time when she protests against therapy, gets frustrated at the lack of progress, etc. But I have never seen a child so eager to work and willing to do things over and over again, despite being tired or hungry. We are usually early to therapy, and every day, I have to continuously keep her away from the door that leads into the therapy area from the lobby. Because every day, we arrive, I put her down, and she bolts to the therapy door and is banging on it like "I am here! I am ready! Let's do this!!!" Seeing how happy she is, seeing how she shows off for Daddy when he is there, watching her take a few wobbly and ataxic, yet independent, steps at a time and feeling the tight hug she gives me when she has done so....it just is inspiring. She never quits, never gives up. She always gives her therapists a work out!

Amazon falling out of favor?January 29, 2013: 11:26 AM ET
Just days after nearly hitting a new all-time high, shares of Amazon (AMZN) are faltering ahead of its earnings report, due after the bell Tuesday.
That begs the question: What do investors know that the rest of us don't? Probably not much, but the stock decline may be signaling some jitters.
Shares were down more than 2% Tuesday.
It's not too big a stretch for investors to be a little on edge, given Amazon's less-than-stellar third-quarter report.
This time around, analysts are anticipating a strong quarter, led by a 28% jump in revenue. That may sound pretty solid but some, like JPMorgan, are lowering their expectations for holiday sales "to reflect good (but not great) U.S. e-commerce trends during the holiday."
Did you buy a Kindle this year?
And while BGC Partners tech analyst Colin Gillis is hopeful Amazon will turn a profit, he's keeping a "hold" rating on the stock and says he prefers eBay (EBAY).
StockTwits traders weighed in with their own expectations.
$AMZN ugly reversal from 285 area and now #earnings are a total gamble - #traders always have an edge - live to #trade another day #stocks
Couldn't have said it better myself. But then again, isn't all trading kind of a gamble? Welcome to the casino of Wall Street.
$AMZN $EBAY already knew of consumer #s ... there are no secrets / no level playing field - gotta play the odds 😉
Good point TrendHunter.
Barnes & Noble (BKS) took a hit from sluggish Nook sales so it's little wonder there may concern about how many of those sales shifted to the Kindle, if any. By all accounts, it was a relatively modest holiday season for retailers overall, both online and traditional.
RT@MrWallstreet $AMZN so everyone expects this to disappoint? -They're taking profits. Afraid of $AAPL type fall and locking in gains.
Need I say more? I'm not sure Amazon will have quite the sharp sell-off that Apple did but then again, who knows? Investors are a fickle bunch and if the news is really disappointing, they may opt to bail out.
Amazon margins to triple or quadruple, Victor Anthony says - http://t.co/HHr57Hnj $AMZN
$AAPL Wait, what? People actually care about a company making a profit? $AMZN $YHOO$RIMM
Haha . Good one. People always care about profit, but they also like their new shiny gadgets. Stay tuned for Amazon -- only 5 hours to go.

St Aloysius' College
My vessels have a relaxed looseness that is informed by the organic rhythms of life and nature. Using hand-building techniques with (raku) clay, the surfaces are made using differing oxides and glazes. At times the vessels are voluptuous, with curves that reference fruit and the female form. I have aimed to design forms that are visually sensual, asymmetrical, organic and solid. The subtle differences between the forms are essential in my work. I hope to evoke in my forms a sense of fertility; a combination of the numinous and physical qualities found in nature.
