He doesnt match the one in photo:His hair colour and body build is different. The confirmed host is Alexandre DelperiérThere was also another photo on twitter which I can't seem to find right now that had the host posing with someone and it did not look like that guy.
Another sighting when they were in LA at the Disney Concert Hall:Had a cool job playing sax on a street corner for an episode of Amazing Race (France) yesterday, lol.This was on 3 July in Paris. (Is this TAR France?)This was on 6 July in Wat Pho, Bangkok.
I saw that second picture from 3 July in Paris shortly after it was posted. I recall that being somewhere else in Europe (maybe Prague) but I could be wrong. At the time, I decided it was just a decorative banner that was red and yellow and didn't post about it. If it is in Paris, the timing would be right for the beginning of the race.
I look forward to seeing what TAR France has done.

Austin from Real Thai and Marc from Mental Masala are both heading out to Penang soon so I've decided to write this follow up post to Photo Blog: Penang Hawker Food to help them eat well in Penang. Start drooling now…here comes more food pictures!
Popiah from Padang Brown Hawker Center.
Filled with jacama (yambean), diced beancurb, crab meat and wrapped in fresh spring roll skin, Padang Brown Popiah is the BEST Popiah in Penang.
Curry-flavored clams from New Lane Hawker Joint.
Char Siew or Chinese barbecued pork. Char Siew is usually served with rice and can be found at Chicken Rice stalls.
Loh Bak. These pork rolls are wrapped in beancurd skin and deep fried to perfection. Taiwan has a similar dish called Chicken Rolls.
Muar Chee or Glutinous Rice Balls coated with ground peanuts and sugar. I simply love these!
Real Roti Canai; not the frozen ones I get here in the States.
Nasi Lemak with Sambal Ikan Bilis (anchovies) and a sliced of hard-boiled egg.
Penang Sar Ho Fun. A Cantonese-style fried noodle dish.
Ju Hu Eng Chai or Cuttlefish Salad. Delicious!
Cheh Hu or Chinese-style Rojak. It's very tasty and best as an afternoon snack.
Yong Tow Food. Various kinds of fish balls / stuffed fish paste served in a savory broth. Fish balls in Malaysia are fresh, succulent, and bouncy.
And they are not all as there are a lot more to savor in Penang. In my honest opinion, not many places tops Penang when it comes to food. Penang is simply the best place for street food and Time Asia thinks so too.

The latest 1001 Inventions exhibition, and the first designed specifically for a Middle East audience, enjoyed a glamorous Royal launch in the UAE's capital on the 19th of November 2011, where it was resident for five weeks until the 24th of December 2011. During that time the exhibition attracted more than 75,000 visitors.
The free educational showcase, which was recently crowned the world's "Best Touring Exhibition", opened its doors to the public at the Abu Dhabi Corniche, where it will reside from 19th November to 24th December 2011. Large crowds flocked to the new exhibition on its opening day as it welcomed more than 2,000 visitors in the first three hours.
1001 Inventions is an anchor attraction within the Abu Dhabi Science Festival (ADSF), which is organised by the Abu Dhabi Technology Development Committee (TDC) in partnership with Abu Dhabi Education Council (ADEC). Guest of Honour at the 1001 Inventions opening event was His Highness Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research for the United Arab Emirates.
Following successful residencies in London, Istanbul, New York and Los Angeles, where it has attracted a combined audience of millions, 1001 Inventions has launched a bi-lingual Arabic-English touring exhibition in response to persistent public demand. The new exhibition was launched at a grand opening event under the patronage of His Highness General Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi.
Sheikh Mohammed Abdul Latif Jameel (ALJCI), HH Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan,
Prof. Salim Al-Hassani (1001 Inventions and FSTC) and HE Ahmed Al Calily (TDC)
Prof. Salim Al-Hassani, the chairman of 1001 Inventions and FSTC, explained the background behind this latest incarnation of the 1001 Inventions show: "Since its launch in 2006, our exhibitions have attracted record numbers of visitors at venues throughout Europe and the USA. So far more than 2 million people have walked through our doors to see the 1001 Inventions shows in person, including numerous Heads of State, Ambassadors, Government Ministers and Royalty from around the world. Interest in and support for the 1001 Inventions initiative has grown dramatically over the past 5 years and throughout this time we have received thousands of messages from our fans in the Middle East urging us to bring 1001 Inventions to the Arabic-speaking world.
Prof. Salim Al-Hassani addresses a VIP audience at the 1001 Inventions launch ceremony in Abu Dhabi
For the past two years we've been planning to produce a show specifically for the Middle-East and we're delighted that the Abu Dhabi Technology Development Committee has welcomed us to the UAE so enthusiastically. This is the first time we have brought the 1001 Inventions show to the Arab world, and we hope that our new Arabic/English exhibition will be as popular in the UAE as our original show has been in the USA and Europe.
This bi-lingual exhibition takes our initiative to a whole new level. The 1001 Inventions show we're launching in Abu Dhabi is our most technologically sophisticated production to date, featuring many new electronic games and hands-on exhibits, which utilise the latest advances in interactive entertainment. This has all been possible thanks to the generosity of numerous supporters, including our 'Strategic Partner' the Abdul Latif Jameel Community Initiatives (ALJCI)."
The Abu Dhabi Science Festival is a science popularization project which is geared towards building the Emirate's talent base in science, technology and innovation. The festival will be a world-class annual event which showcases the fun and excitement of science to young people from Abu Dhabi in a creative and new way.
ADSF is organised by The Abu Dhabi Technology Development Committee (TDC), the Abu Dhabi Government entity charged with supporting the elevation of Abu Dhabi to a world-class center for science, technology and innovation.

His Excellency Ahmed Al Calily, Director General of TDC, said: "The Abu Dhabi Technology Development Committee is proud to announce the Abu Dhabi Science Festival, a world-class annual event which showcases the fun and excitement of science and technology to the young people of the Emirate in a creative and new way. Abu Dhabi's vision is to build a knowledge based society and is investing heavily in technology industries to achieve this. This in turn requires a scientifically literate society and a well equipped talent base; this festival is one of the efforts that will help build this talent base."
Fady Jameel, President of ALJ Community Initiatives International (ALJCI) commented: "ALJCI is proud to partner with 1001 inventions in the new Arabic-English version of the 1001 Inventions exhibition, and we're very excited about the partnership with Abu Dhabi Science Festival, which will bring this ground-breaking touring exhibition to a new audience. ALJCI is passionate about inspiring young people to become the scientists and engineers of the future, and supporting educational initiatives like 1001 Inventions is a core activity of our international philanthropic programme."
The Abu Dhabi Science Festival will be a major annual event and its inaugural edition will run over nine days and takes place from 18th to 26th November 2011 at different prominent locations around the Emirate, including the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre and the Abu Dhabi Corniche. In organizing this city-wide festival TDC is collaborating with 1001 Inventions and the Edinburgh International Science Festival as Programming Partners.
The 1001 Inventions exhibition is open to the public, free of charge, at the Abu Dhabi Corniche from the 19th of November until the 24th of December 2011. Further information about Abu Dhabi Science Festival is available at www.abudhabisciencefestival.ae

In organizing this city-wide festival TDC is collaborating with the Abu Dhabi Education Council (ADEC), as the festival's Education Partner, as well as 1001 Inventions and the Edinburgh International Science Festival (EISF), as Programming Partners. The collaboration with ADEC, the festival's education partner, ensures alignment with Abu Dhabi's education reforms as well as the engagement of Abu Dhabi's school children and education community. The festival is also sponsored by Total and GHC.
The nine-day event aims to spark the curiosity of the Emirate's youth in science, technology and innovation (STI) and will encompass over 150 of the world's most exciting informal science learning experiences, including interactive exhibits, fun workshops and spectacular shows. The festival will cover different fields of STI including robotics, archaeology, aeronautics, physics, biology and chemistry, with the experiences designed to excite young people about the wonders and fun of science and technology whilst stimulating their inquisitive learning skills.
TDC is partnering with a number of leading Abu Dhabi universities and higher education colleges such as Emirates College of Advanced Education, Abu Dhabi University, Higher Colleges of Technology - Abu Dhabi Women's College and UAE University from which the students will be selected, giving them a unique opportunity to participate in this world-class science festival and help the visitors make the most of their experience at the event.
1001 Inventions was created by the academic Foundation for Science, Technology and Civilisation (FSTC). Based in Manchester (UK), its mission is to raise awareness of the contributions the Muslim world has made to building the foundations of modern civilisation. FSTC works very closely with academics, researchers and experts in the field, in order to raise widespread public awareness about the achievements of Muslim civilisation (and other connected civilisations). Further information is available on FSTCs popular website MuslimHeritage.com
1001 Inventions is a global educational initiative that promotes awareness of a thousand years of scientific and cultural achievements from Muslim civilisation from the 7th century onwards, and how those contributions helped build the foundations of our modern world.
Construction of the new 1001 Inventions touring exhibition was sponsored by Abdul Latif Jameel Community Initiatives (ALJCI). ALJCI is the Corporate Social Responsibility arm of the ALJ Group, which is a Toyota automobiles distributor in 13 different countries. ALJCI plans and operates numerous global programs, such as poverty-alleviation initiatives, artistic and educational projects and technology innovation grants, including a long history of scholarships for students at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

'Romneycare' didn't rein in costs
It's one of the greatest stories never told.
An ambitious Republican governor passes a revolutionary health reform plan that promises health insurance coverage for everyone but fails to reduce health costs or the growing reliance on the state's overburdened hospitals — and depends heavily on the financial support of the federal government.
Story Continued Below
But that's not the narrative you hear about Massachusetts.
The uniqueness of this 2012 presidential election — in which one candidate is the author of the plan, the other borrowed it to craft his own health law — has created a situation in which the voters aren't hearing about the warts in Massachusetts's health care law. Rather, both Democrats and Republicans talk about the successes — or don't talk about it at all.
For all the Republican derision of President Barack Obama's health law, they don't say anything critical of the Massachusetts law — the forerunner of "Obamacare" — for fear of damaging Gov. Mitt Romney. And although Democrats wouldn't miss an opportunity to tar Romney's tenure as governor, trashing the health law would do damage to Obama's closely related effort.
But some who are closely watching Massachusetts are more candid about it — and they say it has some serious problems.
"The reality is it performed very poorly," said Douglas Holtz-Eakin, a former Congressional Budget Office director and president of the American Action Forum. He's one of the most vocal critics of the plan. "A huge mark against it is it didn't control health care costs at all."
Health care costs per capita were 27 percent higher in Massachusetts than in the rest of the country in 2004, two years before the state plan was signed, Holtz-Eakin says. By 2009, it was 30 percent higher than the national average.
The law's failure to rein in health care costs is widely acknowledged by nonpartisan analysts, as well as conservative critics. But there's more material for critics to work with if either party wanted to use it. For example, emergency room use has gone up, not down — undermining the law's effort to get that problem under control by expanding coverage.
State health policy officials issued a report last month showing a 6 percent increase in emergency room use from 2006 to 2010, the first four years when the law was in effect. That figure has confounded proponents of the law, who hoped emergency room care would plummet when residents had access to insurance and primary-care doctors.
Detractors in the Bay State also say the law has done little to dent the surging demand seen by the state's largest safety-net hospitals.
It's getting harder for Massachusetts residents to see a doctor, too. A report released last month by the Massachusetts Medical Society found that only half of the state's primary-care providers are accepting new patients, down from 70 percent in 2007. And the average wait time to see a doctor in family medicine is 45 days — up from 34 days in 2007.
To Joshua Archambault, a health care expert at the right-leaning Pioneer Institute, the law's greatest failures are its "unfulfilled promises" for small businesses. Its framers, he noted, promised to "revolutionize the way small businesses purchased insurance, make it cheaper."
"That simply has not happened," he said.
Whether Massachusetts's health care reform is a success is an open question. And there are just as many points of success as failure.

Business Card Exchange system
From Openmoko
Project Title: Business card Exchange system
Project team members: 郭育廷 Contact email: m9603034 (at) stmail [DOT] isuedu [DOT]tw
University: Dept. of CSIE, I-Shou University (義守大學資工系)
Short description:
The purpose of this project is to allow the mobile user to exchange the business card via Bluetooth. We often forget to bring the card or run short of cards. With this system, the user only need to edit the card and save it as a png file. The users can then exchange their cards via bluetooth communication channel. In this way we will never run short of cards.

Congressional Reps Pushing CISPA Cybersecurity Bill Don't Even Know How To Secure Their Own Websites
from the don't-regulate-what-you-don't-know deptOne of the big concerns we've had over politicians trying to regulate technology, is how gleefully ignorant they often seem to be about the technology they seek to regulate. It's no different with the cybersecurity bill CISPA. We've been asking for months for some actual evidence that shows that we really need a cybersecurity bill, and all we get are fanciful stories about planes falling from the sky and hackers taking down powergrids. If either thing was possible, the real response shouldn't be to set up a cybersecurity bill, but to disconnect those key infrastructure pieces from the internet.
Either way, we're learning, once again, that the backers of CISPA don't seem to know the slightest thing about "cybersecurity." Actual cybersecurity expert, Chris Soghoian has highlighted how the key sponsors of CISPA fail at basic cybersecurity for their own websites, raising serious questions about their competence in writing a cybersecurity bill.
Congressmen Rogers and Ruppersberger are, respectively, the chairman and ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee. Although it is no secret that most members of Congress do not have technologists on staff providing them with policy advice, we can at least hope that the two most senior members of the Intelligence Committee have in-house technical advisors with specific expertise in the area of information security. After all, without such subject area expertise, it boggles the mind as to how they can at least evaluate and then put their names on the cybersecurity legislation that was almost certainly ghostwritten by other parts of the government - specifically, the National Security Agency.Take a wild guess what he found. First, he looks at whether or not they use HTTPS. As he notes, "It is now 2012. HTTPS is no longer an obscure feature used by a few websites. It is an information security best practice and increasingly becoming the default across the industry." So, what did Soghoian find? It appears that neither Reps Rogers nor Ruppersberger do a very good job securing their own sites. He finds some sites without any HTTPS at all, and the others have it configured incorrectly.
So, given that these two gentlemen feel comfortable forcing their own view of cybersecurity on the rest of the public, I thought it would be useful to look at whether or not they practice what they preach. Specifically, how is their own information security. While I am not (for legal reasons) going to perform any kind of thorough audit of the two members' websites or email systems, even the most cursory evaluation is pretty informative.
He notes that there is really no excuse for these configuration errors, because the House appears to be setup with an HTTPS server, and other Reps. have it properly configured on their site. Not much really needs to be done. However, the fact that other Reps have set up HTTPS really raises concerns about these two Reps and their staff when it comes to cybersecurity:
When I manually tried to visit the HTTPS URL for Congressman Ruppersberger's website last night, it instead redirected me to the Congressional Caucus on Intellectual Property Promotion. Soon after I called the Congressman's office this morning to question his team's cybersecurity skills, the site stopped redirecting visitors, and now instead displays a misconfiguration error.
Congressman Dutch's campaign webserver appears to support HTTPS, but returns a certificate error.
The webserver that runs all of the house.gov websites is listening on port 443 and it looks like Akamai has issued a wildcart *.house.gov certificate that can be used to secure any Congressional website. As an example, Nancy Pelosi's website supports HTTPS without any certificate errors (although it looks like there is some non-HTTPS encrypted content delivered from that page too.) This means that the Congressional IT staff can enable HTTPS encryption for Rogers, Ruppersberger and every other member without having to buy any new HTTPS certificates or setting up new webservers. The software is already all there - and the fact that these sites do not work over HTTPS connections already suggests that no one in the members' offices have asked for it.Rep. Rogers, of course, recently stated that he's so concerned with the threats of cybersecurity that he literally "can't sleep at night." Funny, then, that he never bothered to make sure his own website was secure, huh?

Congrats on the not getting knocked up early! In my family at least, that appears to be a serious achievement!
The study had controls for that, and found that about 30-50% of the variance associated with the difference was probably genetic. Now that means culture and society still play a bigger role than genetics, but the genetic difference is obvious.
This is of course assuming the study was done correctly, and I haven't had time to read it to be sure.
I don't see in the article if this is published work, but as science reporting is generally crappy that's not surprising. If it hasn't been published, then it may not have been peer-reviewed yet, so the quality of the study is currently unknown.

Step inside the #CandidlyNicole launch party
To sum it up in one word? Unfiltered.
"This is my life you guys! I am getting paid to be in a room (well I'm not paid tonight, but you know), with a cut-out of myself taking a belfie {butt selfie}. I mean, there's really nothing to complain about. Life is really good."- Nicole Richie, in a toast last night to her guests at a private dinner party she held to promote the premiere of her new reality show, #CandidlyNicole, on VH1. Seated two away from the beaming host, I dove in to her visual feast...
It's been years since I would sit in my college sorority house with six friends on my bed watching Nicole Richie steal scene after scene of The Simple Life-- the comedy, the clothes, the conundrums! This girl was pure entertainment.
It seems only natural that seven years later, she's back, starring in her own reality show on VH1, titled #CandidlyNicole {Nowadays titling a television show without a hashtag would seem backwards, right?} pulling those same dry humor "jokes" that make you wonder how many people watching are truly offended. I for one, am not.
In episode one, she forces her friend Erin to join an online dating website-- practically writing Erin's entire profile for her, fluffing the content well beyond Erin's honest capabilities. "Do you do drugs," the profile asks. Erin claims she's never tried drugs in her entire life, but Nicole chimes in and answers "YES!", coaxing Erin to believe if she tells her potential suitors that she is into various unnamed "pills", it would make her seem edgier. I laughed. Some parents might cry. But I laughed.
At her private launch party last night held at the Soho House West Hollywood, I had a chance to sit down with Nicole and ask her a few questions specifically about her wardrobe and beauty choices for the show. I mean, who could forget Nicole famously ripping fashion's red carpet from underneath Paris Hilton during their The Simple Life venture thanks to her stylist Rachel Zoe's keen eye for every vintage 1970's Emilio Pucci dress possible? We also can't forget that this is how Rachel Zoe achieved her fame. So, here's what she shared...
ELSHANE: What was your fashion influence for this season?
NICOLE RICHIE: Luckily for me it was summer so I had a lot of opportunity to play with color. I knew that I needed to feel comfortable and I needed to feel 100% me. I don't wear a lot of high heels on the show -- flats, just because I wanted freedom on the show to just be physical and just be able to drop to the floor. My focus was comfortable and feeling the most authentic to myself.
ELSHANE: Can you share some beauty tips from the show for us girls?
NICOLE RICHIE: For me, I'm 5'1, if I'm wearing a ton of hair and makeup, I start to feel a little bit like I'm drowning and don't feel like myself. I like a little bit less hair, less makeup, less weight on my face so you can feel free and confident and then I think that's when people look the brightest.
{I love this beauty advice. If I'm at a table with friends, I always feel most comfortable when I'm the one wearing less makeup. May as well take that black eyeliner and scribble high maintenance over your forehead!}
Candidly Nicole premieres on VH1 July 17th at 10/9c.

Never invite car theft!
An unlocked car with the key in the ignition lock invites car theft.
A gong alarm is standard equipment in your Porsche. The gong alarm will sound if you open the driver's door while the key is still in the ignition lock. It is your reminder to pull the key out of the ignition lock and to lock the doors.
Unattended vehicle
Never leave your vehicle unattended with the key in the ignition lock, especially if children and/or pets are left unattended in the vehicle. They can operate power windows and other controls. If the engine is left running, they may accidentally engage the shift lever. Serious personal injury or death could result from loss of control of the vehicle.
To protect your vehicle and your possessions from theft, you should always proceed as follows when leaving your vehicle:

The Cutest Misspellings of "Happy Birthday" I Have Ever Seen
Betcha didn't know a misspelling could be cute, did you? Well, it can. Observe:
This was given to Erik's buddy over in Iraq, where the locals guards had nicknamed him Omar. Yes, it says "Hippy barth day". Tell me that doesn't make you want to squeeze its lil' icing cheeks - go on.
JB tells me this adorable little morsel came from a restaurant in Taipan:
UPDATE: Some of you are taking issue with my "Taipan" spelling. (The gall!) So just to clear this up: no, I did not misspell it, and no, I don't know where it is. All I can say is that's what was written in the e-mail. Is it possible JB meant Taiwan? Sure. Do I care? Not so much.

Attention all journalists who care about religion news coverage in the mainstream press. I have some bad news and some good news. Perhaps you saw the following story on the wires -- sadly, this kind of downsizing report is all too familiar -- and started worrying:
Newhouse News Service, which has provided Washington and national news to newspapers for nearly half a century, will close on Nov. 7, after the election.
The news service, founded in 1961, is also the Washington bureau of Advance Publications Inc. of New York, which owns 26 daily newspapers, including The Star-Ledger in Newark, N.J; The Oregonian in Portland, Ore.; The Plain Dealer in Cleveland and The Times-Picayune in New Orleans.
The key lines in the report, for the purpose of this weblog, are these:
The news service is also the parent company of Religion News Service, which will continue as an independent company, she said.
Now if you know anything about the history of religion news in the American Press, and the history of Religion News Service, you know that taking a mainstream, unbiased, interfaith, ecumenical, nondenominational approach to covering national and international religion news has never been an easy task. May have heard, but lots of news executives of all stripes just don't get religion and, thus, they have trouble getting out their checkbooks and paying for quality coverage on the beat.
Over at the Religion News Service site, you can see some of the challenges written between the lines of the wire service's history:
Louis Minsky founded RNS in 1934 under the auspices of the National Conference of Christians and Jews. ... In 1983, RNS was acquired by the Dallas-based United Methodist Reporter and continued to operate as an independent news agency. In 1991, RNS editorial was distributed to the secular press by New York Times Syndicated Features, Inc. In 1994, RNS was purchased by Newhouse News Service (NNS), and its name was changed to Religion News Service. NNS is a company of Advance Publications, a major publisher of daily newspapers, as well the Conde Nast family of magazines, and Parade. Universal Press Syndicate now distributes the service to daily and weekly newspapers in the US.
And now there will be another chapter. After the Newhouse story broke, our friends at Poynter.org quickly put up this note for concerned religion-news readers:
"We're still alive," says Kevin Eckstrom, editor of the Newhouse-owned Religion News Service. "I just wanted to make sure you're aware that we're not going anywhere. Next year marks our 75th anniversary, and we're just getting started.
So, hopefully, it is time for another chapter to open. Here's hoping that RNS finds another partner or two that are committed to a mainstream approach.
At the same time, I also -- hint, hint -- hope that there are some major religion content sites out there what can open up some pages for hard-news content (think RNS reports) as well as for feelings-based faith opinion. Facts and events matter.

BGZ Studios is a small outfit based in Atlanta that, aside from regular photography work, also does a ton of cosplay stuff. Like these Diablo III Demon Hunter pics, which are just great.
I love the costumes, sure, and the images themselves, but what I actually like most is the "behind the scenes" look at the photos being taken. Cosplay photos can sometimes be taken for granted when scrolling around on the internet all day, but there's a ton of work that goes into making them, not just on the part of the actual cosplayers and costume builders but the photographers as well.
You can see more of BGZ's cosplay work at the studio's website.

WASHINGTON — A large Israeli military exercise this month may have been aimed at showing Jerusalem's abilities to attack Iranian nuclear facilities.
In a substantial show of force, Israel sent warplanes and other aircraft on a major exercise in the eastern Mediterranean early this month, U.S. Defense Department officials said Friday.
Israel's military refused to confirm or deny that the maneuvers were practice for a strike in Iran.
Russia's foreign minister Friday warned against the use of force on Iran, saying there is no proof it is trying to build nuclear weapons with the program Tehran said is for generating power.
U.S. officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak on the sensitive matter for the record.
"They have been conducting some large scale exercises — they live in a tough neighborhood," one U.S. official said, though he offered no other recent examples.
Show of force
The big exercise the first week of June was impossible to miss and may have been meant as a show of force as well as for practice on skills needed to execute a long-range strike mission.
The New York Times quoted U.S. officials Friday saying more than 100 Israeli F-16s and F-15s staged the maneuver, flying more than 900 miles, roughly the distance from Israel to Iran's Natanz nuclear enrichment facility, and that the exercise included refueling tankers and helicopters capable of rescuing downed pilots.
"It was noticed that a significant exercise took place — dozens and dozens of aircraft participated," one of the officials said. "We watch globally everyday, and this was noted."
The second U.S. defense official said the maneuver could be taken as a demonstration to Iran and the international community that Israel is serious about the need to challenge Iran's nuclear program — and could be prepared to do so militarily.
"That's one of the assessments you could make out of the exercise. They (the Israelis), like the rest of the international community, are concerned about Iran, and Iran has told of its hostile intent with respect to the Israelis."
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Iran should be engaged in dialogue and encouraged to cooperate with the U.N. nuclear monitoring agency.
Lavrov made the statement when asked to comment on an Israeli Cabinet member's statement earlier this month that Israel could attack Iran if it does not halt its nuclear program.
"I hope the actual actions would be based on international law," Lavrov said. "And international law clearly protects Iran's and anyone else's territorial integrity."

PERRY COUNTY – Sgt. Dan R. Starnes of the Morgan County, Indiana Sheriff's Department, lost his life on July 10, 2001, as a result of gunshot wounds sustained in a gun battle with a burglary suspect four weeks earlier.
To keep his memory alive, his surviving wife, Janice, organized the Sgt. Dan R. Starnes Memorial Blood Drive in Morgan County later that year, and has organized a blood drive each year since in Dan's memory. In 2007 she decided to take the blood drive statewide and renamed it the Indiana Fallen Officers Blood Drive.

Posted Wednesday, April 28, 2004, at 4:22 PM PT- How you feel about the indefinite military detentions of Yaser Esam Hamdi and Jose Padilla will turn largely on what you think life will look like when it starts. By "it," I mean the moment at which fundamental liberties are curtailed by well-meaning governments and the legal system becomes unable to offer relief. Never having seen "it" happen in my lifetime, I'm hardly an expert. German Jews who survived the Holocaust will tell you that it's hard to know at exactly which instant you've crossed the line into "it."
Fred Korematsu, a Japanese American detained during World War II, knows what "it" looks like, and he says it looks a bit like this. Professor Jennifer Martinez, Padilla's oral advocate at the Supreme Court this morning, says we are at the line separating "it" from "not it" right now, today—as the court stands poised to decide whether "the government can take citizens off the street and lock them up in jail forever."
The crucial issue for both Hamdi and Padilla is whether the courts will hand the president the power to detain alleged "enemy combatants" indefinitely, without charges or access to counsel. The president says he already has that power anyhow: The Constitution gives it to him in his role as commander in chief , and Congress gave it to him, right after Sept. 11, when it authorized him to "use all necessary and appropriate force against those nations, organizations or persons he determines planned, authorized, committed or aided the terrorist attacks." The president says this isn't the beginning of "it." This is the middle of a war.
Hamdi, as you'll recall, was captured on the battlefield in Afghanistan with an AK-47 in his hand. Transferred to Guantanamo, he was moved to a military brig when it became clear he was born in the United States. No charges have ever been filed against him, he only recently met with his attorney, and his case has been a protracted slap-fight between the district court judge and the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals , which ruled most recently that the president's powers rightfully permit him to detain Hamdi indefinitely. Padilla, a former gang member and convert to Islam, allegedly conspired with high-ranking al-Qaida members to detonate a "dirty bomb" against U.S. targets. He was picked up in a Chicago airport, held as a material witness in New York, then labeled an enemy combatant and moved to a Navy brig, where he has been confined ever since. Padilla fared better in the appellate courts than Hamdi, with the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals ruling that a criminal statute, 18 U.S.C. Sec. 4001(a) —which bars the detention of citizens without express congressional authority—means "the President does not have the power ... to detain as an enemy combatant an American citizen seized on American soil." They all appealed, and each case was given an hour this morning for argument.
Frank Dunham, on behalf of Hamdi, says that seeking a writ of habeas corpus from a court can hardly violate the notion of separation of powers since the whole purpose of habeas relief is to "challenge extrajudicial executive detentions."
Justice Sandra Day O'Connor asks Dunham for precedent involving U.S. citizens who are enemy combatants, and he offers up Ex Parte Quirin , a World War II case involving eight Nazi spies (one of whom claimed to be an American) who snuck into the United States with the intention of blowing things up. The Quirin court held that a military commission, as authorized by the president, was sufficient due process and the spies were not entitled to habeas relief.
Dunham points out that the words "enemy combatant" have no legal meaning; they are "not defined in the case law, not defined by statute." Justice Antonin Scalia breaks in to say that they are, nevertheless, "English words, meaning someone who is combating. ..." O'Connor queries whether habeas relief is available to every American citizen caught fighting for the enemy. Dunham replies that this assumes Hamdi was fighting for the enemy, which has never been proved in a court.
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg asks whether there are military regimes to determine whether someone was indeed fighting for the enemy. Dunham says such military proceedings exist but were never used for Hamdi. Chief Justice William Rehnquist asks: "What evidence are you going to get now about what happened on the battlefield?" And Scalia adds: "He wasn't even captured by our forces. You want us to run down members of the allied forces?" "You want us to send a Gulfstream over with 10 witnesses?" adds Justice Anthony Kennedy. "We are not living in World War II," says Dunham. "We have fax machines, phones, pictures."
"What if we get a deposition from an American colonel?" asks Scalia. Would that be enough? "We would not accept it without Hamdi having a right to be heard," responds Dunham. "He has never been allowed to give any kind of explanation of his side of the story."
Justice David Souter joins other justices in wondering whether a military-type trial would suffice for Hamdi. Dunham says yes. When Justice Stephen Breyer asks what the courts should do if the government refuses to hold a military-style hearing, Dunham responds that the court should undertake to do a similar inquiry itself, as District Judge Robert Doumar attempted to do in the Hamdi case before the 4th Circuit slapped him into last week.
When Dunham argues that Congress never authorized these detentions, O'Connor stops him to say Congress did pass the authorization to use military force. "It doesn't have the word 'detention' in it," says Dunham. "It's a declaration of war."
"Surely the president has the right to kill them," responds Scalia. "Is it conceivable that he has the right to kill them but not to detain them?" (Listen here to this exchange.)
Kennedy contends that subsumed within that declaration of war is authorization for the president to "use his judgment." "It was not a list of things he can do."
"If that means he can impose executive indefinite detention, he can lock people up all over the country, for as long as they might live," replies Dunham. Justice John Paul Stevens asks whether Hamdi questions any of the facts in the so-called "Mobbs Declaration"—that's the bare two-page filing by the adviser to the undersecretary of defense policy, who wasn't in Afghanistan, asserting that the government needs to detain Hamdi because he's a bad guy.
Dunham replies that he was only recently allowed to speak to his client for the first time and that the government claims Hamdi's communications are classified, so he can't tell the court anything beyond the fact that there is "substantial dispute" between Mobbs' view of the facts and Hamdi's.
Deputy Solicitor General Paul Clement represents the president today, and he points out right away that one of the reasons the government is authorized to hold Hamdi is to keep him from "rejoining the battlefield" while we still have 10,000 U.S. troops in Afghanistan.
Ginsburg asks whether the government has any justification for trying certain defendants (John Walker Lindh, Zacarias Moussaoui, James Ujaama) and locking up others. Clement replies that those terrorists had "no intelligence value," so it was fine to put them into the judicial system. (The notion that the government will learn more from interrogating Hamdi, a Taliban foot soldier, than Moussaoui, a man who ate ice cream with ranking al-Qaida members, is so preposterous that it cannot just be left on this page to die.)
Kennedy wonders if there's any literature on how long you can interrogate a guy before it stops being fruitful. And Souter asks what the court should do with Section 4001, the one that prohibits locking up Americans without congressional authorization. Clement says Congress did authorize this after Sept. 11, and Souter wonders whether that authorization, like the Wrigley's gum, just lasts an extra, extra, extra long time. Souter seems to want the court to order Congress to refine or supplement the original authorization.
Breyer points out that the authorization contains the words "necessary and appropriate," which, like the Constitution and the Magna Carta, serve to limit the president's claim that he can do absolutely anything he wants whenever he wants. (Listen here ).
Clement adds that Hamdi may not have had a full military proceeding, but he was subject to two thorough military screenings, one on the battlefield and another in Guantanamo, which would have screened him out were his claims of innocence true. He adds (I swear), "The interrogation process also provides an opportunity for him to say this has all been a mistake." When Ginsburg asks, "Doesn't he have a right to tell some tribunal, in his own words ..." Clement concedes he "does have a right to say, in his own words. ..." And Souter, drier than a dirty martini, asks: "When? During interrogation?"
O'Connor speaks, it seems, for much of the court when she points out that this "war" we are in may last forever. "We've never had a situation where this war could last for 25 years of 50 years." And Stevens asks whether the president's power to indefinitely detain includes the power to torture. Clement observes first that there are international conventions prohibiting torture (there are also international conventions prohibiting what we're doing in Guantanamo, but we just say those don't apply) and, helpfully, that torture results in unreliable information. (Presumably once we master really effective torture, the president can order that, too.)
Souter suggests he's just not very comfortable with the government's main assurance: "Don't worry about the timing question. We'll tell you when the war is over." And Frank Dunham offers a fiery rebuttal in which he claims Clement is a "worthy advocate who is able to make the unreasonable sound reasonable." He adds that the government's claim that we should trust them is exactly why the Great Writ exists: because we don't trust them. The passion seems to startle the justices, who remain silent throughout. Dunham surely knows they don't generally take to all this emotionalism. But he's not arguing to the court anyhow. This part is for you. (Listen here .)
Something odd happens to the court in the 52 seconds between Hamdi's case and Padilla's. Whether the justices have spent their outrage over the absence of any adjudicatory process in the first hour; or whether, like Breyer, they find Padilla more distasteful because he's a bona fide "ticking time bomb"; or whether the nagging jurisdictional issues in this case (Padilla may have improperly filed for habeas relief in New York courts and may have improperly named Donald Rumsfeld as his custodian) drain it of any real urgency, there's a shift in the mood. The justices spend an enormous amount of time fretting over jurisdiction and almost none worrying that this guy has had no due process of law.
Ginsburg asks Clement for some limiting principle on executive powers in wartime. "Supposing the executive says mild torture will help?" Clement responds with the only credible answer he can give: "Just because executive authority in wartime can be abused doesn't justify limiting it." (Listen here .)
Jennifer Martinez, a professor at Stanford Law School, represents Padilla. She's careful to say the president is not in peril of losing his power to seize our enemies; he just can't have unbridled discretion to hang onto them forever. She tries to distinguish Padilla, who was "not on the verge" of committing a terrorist act but merely part of some future plot. Stevens wants to know how courts can tell when someone is "about to be engaged in a plot."
Paul Clement closes by saying that the executive war power can't be limited to the battlefield. To constrain the president in that way would preclude him from apprehending men here at home, like Padilla, "a latter day-citizen version of Mohammed Atta." Clement, to paraphrase Dunham, almost makes this sound reasonable. Congress, after all, gave the president carte blanche to conduct this endless war as he sees fit. And according to the president, the courts can do nothing now but get out of his way.
Is there any role at all for the courts, beyond endorsing Congress' blank check? Most of the justices seem to crave something—whether it's crafted by them or Congress—to mediate between the president and words like "enemy combatant" and "forever." Whether they can come up with that something is the only question left to answer. The alternative is to accept the president's claim that we should just trust him. And then wait for "it" to begin.

A Message from Helen Ambrosen, Inventor of Toothy Tabs
Dear All,
It's lovely to say Hello! I just wanted to give you confidence in our latest new invention - Toothy Tabs.
People don't think or know what's in toothpaste, or question it even! We're taught to use toothpaste when we're about 2, our Mums teach us to use it and it stays as a part of our routine. Then along come the Toothy Tabs, which challenge our habits and traditions.
Peppermint toothpaste is the perfect cosmetic product and it was invented in the 1800s. Most people in the world these days use peppermint toothpaste every single day. We take it for granted! So that's what we're up against.
We all know and love sodium bicarbonate. My task was to create a really good sodium bicarbonate toothpaste, as it cleans and whitens the teeth. It wasn't too difficult to turn it into a solid product. Therefore, the product didn't need to be packaged in the same way as 'normal' toothpaste. I used sodium bicarbonate with cream of tartar and together they are actually baking powder. This is used in cakes and pastries to make a light, fluffy texture -- so we've all eaten loads of it! After working on the Toner Tabs, the name Toothy Tabs seemed to evolve naturally.
Toothy Tabs also contain a gentle abrasive -- dicalcium phosphate dihydrate. A little bit of glycerine to make sure the tongue and gums are softened. Sodium lauroyl sarcosine is a surfactant, which gives the foam that everyone likes. This is used in many major brands of toothpaste. A surfactant is needed to dissolve residue that builds up on the teeth. This comes from breakdown of food in the saliva.
Sodium saccharin is in the recipe, as without it, the sodium bicarbonate tastes very bitter. It is the most widely used, non-sugar based sweetener, which is why I chose to use it.
We use beautiful ingredients, such as essentials oils and fine spices, which is unique in the world of toothpastes. All the materials are acceptable for use as flavours in foods. We want to talk about these beautiful ingredients, as they are lovely and also very effective.
A toothbrush is always needed to clean the teeth properly -- Toothy Tabs, and all toothpastes, make the brush go round. Simply chewing a Toothy Tab won't work. You do need your toothbrush.
We haven't added any fluoride. Some people don't like to use products containing fluoride -- it's already in tap water in many areas around the UK. Perhaps, if people are worried, they can alternate between Toothy Tabs and their regular toothpaste.
I do hope you enjoy using Toothy Tabs yourself. Because by doing so, we are saving billions of tubes and boxes from going to landfill. Toothy Tabs are a great product and they work really well. They clean the teeth effectively, and once you've given up your tubes of toothpaste, you won't look back!
With lots of love from
Helen Ambrosen
LUSH inventor and co-founder

What the Tabloids Taught Us While Waiting In Line This Week
We had some time to read the tabs while we were waiting in line to buy gum and Red Bull this week and here's what we learned from the National Enquirer, In Touch, the Star, the Globe and OK!
Once again, avoiding the express line definitely has its privileges.
National Enquirer
- Janet Jackson is hiding a secret Muslim life from her fans. So secret, in fact, she doesn't even know about it.
- One of the celebrities on 'Dancing With the Stars' says the show is rigged. Rigged to somehow keep us watching even though the shine wore off at least three seasons ago.
- Honey Boo Boo's mom June has been telling lies. Like the one about how her ill-mannered, redneck daughter should be in beauty pageants.
- Taylor Swift and Conor Kennedy eloped in Vegas. Kids, kids. One step at a time. Prom first, wedding later.
In Touch
- New Jersey's sixth favorite 'Real Housewife' Teresa Giudice revealed why she had a meltdown. She stood too close to something hot and now all the king's horses and all the king's men have to put her plastic parts back together again.
- Khloe Kardashian and husband Lamar Odom are fighting over a baby. Nobody is sure where they found it, but everyone assumes it must smell like money.
- JWoww Farley, another favorite New Jersey resident, is engaged. She hasn't decided if she'll take his name when they marry, but she does intend to take his money when they divorce.
- New documentation proves Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore were legally married. Divorce lawyers everywhere begin salivating anew.
- Tom Cruise is leaving Scientology. But since he did it in a UFO, no one's really buying it.
- There is a secret truth behind Tori Spelling's "emergency surgery." Due to a terrible mix-up, she went in to have her gall bladder removed and they took out a baby instead.
- Kristen Stewart humiliated Robert Pattinson by saying he's lousy in bed. Said Pattinson, "Considering that I'm not usually the person she's in bed with, how would she know?"
- There's a secret behind Lady Gaga's weight gain. Of course, now that she's gained the weight, her behind is pretty much out there and not a secret at all anymore.

Answer to Workshop 6's Going Further
Can You Find All the Forces?
1. We see the pan balance in equilibrium right before
the force is broken. The forces are balanced. The right pan has
the weight of the washers and cup and the left pan has both the
weight of the magnet and cap plus the force due to the attraction
of the two magnets. Did you remember that the fulcrum has to push
up with a force equal to the sum of the left and right hand pans?
You may even have thought of other forces like the base of the balance
pushing on the table and the table pushing on the base of the balance!
2. Regardless of the mass of the two people, regardless
of how hard they pull, the two forces will be equal. The effects
of the forces may be different but the magnitudes will be the same.
3. Were you fooled by the table? Since the forces
are equal and opposite the two weights will be in equilibrium. The
pulley only changes the direction of the forces. In fact the two
weights will be stable at any position until one of them touches
the pulley or the floor. This principle of using a counterweight
to balance a force is used in elevators and some draw bridges. Moving
the system only requires a small force, to overcome friction.
4. This system is in equilibrium, too. Some people
think that the scale reading should be either 0 or 20 Newtons, but
remember that forces come in pairs. For the spring to stretch and
move the pointer to a 10 Newton reading the other end of the spring
attached to the tube must also be pulled with a force of 10 Newtons
in the opposite direction. Think about simply hanging the 10 Newton
weight on a scale attached to the ceiling.

Deputy Mayor Stephen Greenhalgh announced that the Metropolitan Police are in "very early discussions" to set up the pilot, which will be established in six months' time.
The force plans to sell 200 buildings including the landmark New Scotland Yard as it faces making cuts of £500 million to its £3.6 billion annual budget. In total 65 front counters are facing closure - the force says that fewer people are visiting police stations in person and these are the least used facilities in the capital.
Mr Greenhalgh said: "Typically they (post offices) are staffed by people who are security cleared, are used to taking cash, used to transactions. Some post offices also have secure rooms as well. What we propose to do at this stage, and we are in very early discussions with the Post Office, is to pilot something, to test something out, and to only expand that if it works.
"But in theory post offices could provided a fixed point on the high street, with some branding with the Metropolitan Police Service, where you could potentially bring your lost property, if you need to produce identification, if there's a licence that you need to go to a police station for, you could maybe do that in a post office. And even very simple crime reporting potentially could be done."
A public consultation is to begin on how Met bosses should deal with the heavy cutbacks. Proposals include the movement of 800 detectives from specialist squads out to neighbourhood teams.
Assistant Commissioner Simon Byrne said: "Some of the people in squads, if you're using how we train and accredit, aren't actually detectives, they're just constables who wear jeans and a T-shirt. So their level of training is different to someone who has gone on a course."
There would be more constables under the plans - up from 24,630 now to 25,909 in 2015, but a reduction in senior ranks. These would go from 37 senior managers and 7,160 supervisors now, down to 26 senior managers and 6,022 supervisors in two years' time.
Deputy Commissioner Craig Mackey said dealing with fewer chances for promotion for the remaining officers was "challenging".
He said: "That's one of the most challenging things internally. In fairness that is part of the whole programme of change. There will be fewer opportunities for promotion in the short term, but in 2015/2016 that will open up again."

About BS Simon
My brother in law is a NYC Puerto Rican and his family Christmas meal is a slow cooked pulled pork roast, with rice, salad, empanadas, and baked ziti. most of those I don't think are weird but the baked ziti through me.
My understanding is that Netflix doesn't have a Canadian office or employes. They also don't have servers in Canada.
They do have a .ca website that contains the content they have Canadian licences for. However, claiming because they have a .ca website the CRTC has jurisdiction over them is like claiming Tuvalu has jurisdiction over Twitch.tv.
I was visiting some family and we were watching Jeopardy. In the credits they gave kleargear.com a photo credit. I just about fell off the couch.

Do you even know the meaning of "public domain" or its relationship to works created by US federal employees or officers?
As to paying a fee to receive a copy of the work in the public domain. It is a regular practice to charge a nominal fee to make copies of public records. I don't think anyone would mind paying for high quality images or videos.
Personally I think the company should not both get paid to digitize and make the works available while charging for access to the works.
Channels that actually pay for a license to use music are being hit by this. Here is an explination from Docm77 http://youtu.be/dNaLY_2_Uzc
This reminds me of when the Curiosity rover landed on Mars and NASA's videos got flagged because a news network put one of their broadcasts into the Content ID system.
As a permanent price $.99 for a novel is unsustainable. However, as a limited time promotional the price it is still a good idea.
As to the library issue, if the publishers can't find a way to allow Libraries to lend ebooks they will lose a valuable marketing resource.
If this policy is for retired veterans then it is Bad. If the policy is for personnel on active duty then the policy is not unreasonable. (It's not right. Just legal.) Even the US military has a similar policy. The reason being that being critical of ones chain of command can have a detrimental effect.
Would this exchange have any effect on a suit to follow up the FOIA request?

The second rule about Secret Spy Court is, Don't talk about Secret Spy Court.
So, there is a gag order and the company has issued a statement and ceased operations. Am I just paranoid or does this end with the government having the argument that the company violated the gag order? Granted, that would take a special level of cluelessness in regards to keeping a secret, but with the way they have been acting recently it might sound reasonable to them.
A 100 page C&D may seem like overkill but remember what happened with Billy the Goat. It has been 68 years since The Curse started, and they don't want to add another.

Yes, it was a sarcasm based joke.

Einhorn's Apple Victory Seen as Legal Precedent in Corporate Governance
A judge's decision Friday favoring David Einhorn over Apple held that even seemingly shareholder friendly initiatives aren't kosher if they're presented in the wrong way.
The judge ruled that Apple's "bundling" of three motions into one vote, even if they are all positive in some shareholders' eyes, presented shareholders with a "dilemma" they shouldn't have to face.
In doing so, the judge rejected the arguments of Apple and noted shareholder advocate Calpers, and also issued a ruling on a little-discussed corporate governance issue.
Einhorn took issue with Apple's "Proposal No. 2" because he didn't like one of the three provisions. That item would have removed the board's authority to issue preferred shares without shareholder approval, known as "blank-check authority."
What is tricky here is that many shareholder rights activists believe eliminating the blank check authority is indeed shareholder friendly. (Votes on it in the past have been overwhelmingly supported by shareholders.)
Apple and Calpers argued that all three motions in Proposal No. 2 were indeed shareholder friendly, and that trait superseded any concerns with bundling.
Todd Mattley, Calpers' head of global proxy voting, told WSJ earlier this week that "We are getting lost in the mechanics of the vote." He added that "approval would definitely benefit shareholder rights."
Calpers also attempted to join the court case and file a so-called "friend of the court" briefing, but was rejected by the judge, who ruled Apple "is perfectly capable of representing its interests."
Calpers said Friday it wants Apple to reintroduce the matters "as soon as practical."
Charles Elson, director of the John L. Weinberg Center for Corporate Governance at the University of Delaware, said he wasn't surprised by the judge's ruling. "Bundling … could be viewed as a form of disenfranchisement," he said.
Meanwhile, the ruling itself comes in an area of corporate governance rarely discussed. The judge's opinion notes there has been "scant attention" to what can be bundled in votes and what cannot.
Stephen Diamond, a professor at Santa Clara University School of Law, said the victory was notable because of its rarity since few such cases have been brought. He said the issue will "instantly turn into significant levels of scrutiny" for other proxy filings.
He also said the ruling could help Einhorn gain leverage in his fight for Apple's cash.
More In Apple's Cash
And Jon Lukomnik, executive director at the Investor Responsibility Research Center Institute, said the ruling will offer new historical importance to a very narrow section of corporate governance.
"One of the interesting implications here is, after everyone settles down over the specifics of the Apple situation, the court ruling is going to be really interesting going forward as corporations try to change charters," he said. "The level of granularity that is now precedent is not what has been normal."

Fans line streets of Boston to toast Red Sox
It wasn't quite a sellout at Fenway Park on Saturday morning, as fans crowded the lower areas of the ballpark for a prime view of the stage where the Red Sox players appeared one by one. Outside the ballpark, though, an estimated 2 million people were waiting. They lined the streets of Boston in waves 10 rows deep. They held signs, wore fake beards, sported painted faces, cheered at unprompted moments and produced MVP chants whenever David Ortiz made a gesture. More >

Now a free agent, Beltran's future with Cards uncertain
Despite falling short of winning his first World Series ring, Carlos Beltran spoke on Wednesday as a man nevertheless fulfilled by the deepest October run of his 16-year career. He's not done seeking that championship, either, insistent that, at 36 years old, he still has a few more baseball years remaining. What's unknown, though, is what uniform Beltran will be wearing when he gives it his next try. More >
Lackey's turnaround mirrors that of Red Sox
In John Farrell's estimation, John Lackey is the poster child for this year's team. Everything went wrong for Lackey in 2011. Surgery robbed him of his entire 2012 season.

About Capex
Capital expenditures are a line item from a company's statement of cash flows (click "Learn More" below for details).
Capex (short for capital expenditures) are incurred when a business spends money to purchase fixed assets or to add value to an existing fixed asset. In accounting, a capital expenditures are added to an asset account, thus increasing the value of the asset.
Examples of capital expenditures include the purchase of a new manufacturing plant, investment in server farms for tech companies, or other purchases of assets expected to help the company earn profits in the future.
Unlike other investments like research and development and marketing spending, capital expenditures are not immediately expensed. Rather, property, plant and equipment acquired using capital expenditures are usually expensed over time through the use of depreciation.
