Get Based
My last post about Lil B (Age of Information video!) ended with promise of a mix. Well here it is. For you, your friends, even your mother: this is not only designed to get the uninitiated based in 45 minutes or less, but to properly rebuke those who think this man is all hype and no substance. Play it for them. Especially your mom.
Covering some (but not nearly all) of my favorite highlights across his releases from 6 Kiss on to Angels Exodus, my aim here is to compile the most amount of swag in the least amount of space, still showcasing some of the uncanny variety Lil B is capable of. This collection is proven to bring love and knowledge to everyone it touches, like all the best of his art.

Check it out, send it to everyone, burn it to cd and listen while you cruise… I certainly do. If you love it, and you will, relish in the fact that this is a very small proportion of the mountain of tracks he's dropped. Go to based world or check out his extensive youtube collection or join the discussion on his last.fm page – all of which will lead you to a treasure trove of incredible music to subsist on until he drops his next tape. Which may very well be this month.
Serious about sharing this with your mom. Halfway through Age of Information mine was nodding her head, saying this is the best rap I've ever heard! Now she listens all the time. THANKYOUBASEDGOD.

KALAMAZOO (WKZO) -- Kalamazoo Public Safety investigators believe a fire at Fox Ridge Apartments was caused by a man trying to kill bed bugs with a cigarette lighter.
The man responsible told officers he tried to put it out with an extinguisher, but was overcome by smoke and forced out of the apartment.
The fire and the subsequent damage was contained in the one unit.


text: Ballet - Granite begins with the aftermath of a nuclear incident, an explosion. A group of people run ashore an unexpected landscape. Everything is about to happen, but nothing seems to have changed. How might the alterations to the organic world, the world of vibrant and edible matter might affect the way we perform, when eating itself has become a productive activity? The setting: a mystical landscape, a crash site, in the wild or in the rush of a blackout. Pulling apart the "ballet" of the food system in musical scenes and absurd stories the performance deconstructs the format of a hysterical cabaret, simple actions which gradually unravel. Based on the principle of a crash choreography, the performance is driven by a concern for image, sound, gesture and speech and the staging of both contemplative or active human presences, performing cursory actions, following instructions, responding to chance, ever moving in shifting assemblages into a futuristic anthropology.

King's Quest Reboot "is not a point-and-click game" but it's still an adventure
The new King's Quest game will not be a point-and-click adventure game, but it will be an adventure game, according to Activision's MacLean Marshall. Newly announced at Gamescom last week, King's Quest will release under the Sierra mantle, which Activision last week resuscitated for its digital, indie-leaning titles. While some no doubt hoped for a revamped point-and-click adventure in the vein of older King's Quest titles, that is not what we're going to get.

Reformen auf der Suche nach Skaleneffekten: die Struktur der Verwaltungs- und Verfahrenskosten der öffentlichen Unfallkassen in Deutschland
AbstractWe analyze the cost savings potential with regard to administration and management costs by merging Public Employment Accident Insurance Funds (Öffentliche Unfallkassen) in Germany. Our data base consists of the annual reports of the public statutory accident insurance funds from 1999 to 2005. Results of a multivariate regression analysis help to identify cost drivers and the potential existence of economies of scale. The numbers of employee accidents and pupil accidents as well as expenditures to prevent accidents serve as explanatory variables for administration and management costs. The main results are as follows. First, public accident insurance funds are very heterogeneous with regard to administration and management costs. Second, these cost differences are unrelated to the size of insurance funds (the number of insured employees and pupils). There is no evidence for cost savings of larger insurance funds, i.e., economies of scale. Third, accidents of pupils entail substantially lower management and administration costs than accidents of employees. Furthermore, there is evidence that higher expenditures to prevent accidents such as accident prevention programs also involve higher administration and management costs.

|Little Lady not so little these days
|Written by Sarah Minges
|Tuesday, November 27, 2012 9:35 PM
At the vet for her annual checkup, Little Lady weighed in more than her Ninja Puppy counterpart. The vet tech said, "Now that is a big girl."
I am pretty sure, regardless of the species; it is never socially acceptable to call a girl "big."
But, the truth remains, she is a big girl. And chances are she might even grow, which is a mildly frightening thought considering how much food she now consumes.
Anyway, Little Lady loves to sit outside. No matter the weather, she will just sit and watch and occasionally chew on a stray stick. And if she isn't outside, she will sit on the inside of the door and whine until she is back outside.
As the weather is getting colder, I wanted to make sure she was adequately prepared to be outside. I looked all over for a doggy jacket for her. They make very few jackets in Little Lady's size.
Of those jackets they make, even fewer are reasonably priced. I was nearly at a loss. Until the idea was presented that perhaps an old fleece coat could be modified to fit Little Lady and protect her from some of the elements.
A large male fleece jacket was chosen for the project. First the zipper was removed, then the arms were shortened. It came to be determined that Little Lady's length was the same length as the torso of a large adult male.
That was a rather humbling experience - to find out one's puppy's torso is longer than one's own.
The pockets were left in the jacket, although it is yet to be seen if Little Lady will utilize them.
Finally, Velcro was added around her sternum so the coat could fit snuggly. The collar of the jacket was left on and she "pops" the collar to protect her neck.
She seems to like the jacket a lot. She tried it for the first day in a light rain and seemed quite content sitting outside in the mist. Although, I am fairly certain she would sit in the mist anyway.
She also seems quite content wearing the jacket in general, she even tried to wear it to bed the other night. Also, as the jacket is a light grey and she is black, it also makes it easier to see her outside at night.
Ninja Puppy doesn't seem to care that Little Lady has been accessorized. He judges her new attire from the couch, where it is warm. Not only is it warm, but the misting rain would only frizz out his own fur coat. Ninja Puppy has his priorities straight like that.

Nick Saban has won a lot of games at Alabama (74, to be exact) since he arrived at the SEC school in 2007.
He's been among college football's best paid coaches in that time, too. His first contract after arriving from the NFL's Miami Dolphins was an eye-catching eight-year, $32 million deal that now just sounds insulting.
Saban, 62, was going to make $5.5 million for the upcoming season under a deal he signed two years ago that had been set to run through Jan. 31, 2020.
On Tuesday, the University of Alabama System board of trustees, unanimously approved a pay package that will reward Saban with $6.9 million dollars over the next eight seasons (that is, until he gets another extension).
Sources: Figures gathered from reports and USA Today database on coaches pay.
Winning three national championships in four seasons does have its benefits.

$7 million for Saban, SEC schools split $280 million in revenue, 20 million each in profit sharing. Nope, college athletes are amateurs and shouldn't get paid. This doesn't just border on obscene, it is.

If I were a professor at U of A, I would be very happy about this. Alabama's investment in Nick Saban has provided more dividends than perhaps any other decision that's ever been made at the University. Aside from the amount of wealth he's created for the University, which filters it's way, directly and indirectly, to the professors through higher salaries and better facilities, but it's also created a larger pool of applicants applying to the school. As crazy as it may seem, Alabama is attracting applicants (and it's not all meat heads) from all over the country, due to its football publicity under Saban. This increased competition among applicants has raised the bar for entering students.

$7,000,000 / $100,000 = 70
So, if a professor is making $100,000/yr Saban would be worth 70 of them. Talk about incentives for kids today, it's no wonder they're all playing ball in the streets.

And tuition will increase by how much this year?
June 4th, 2014
12:21 pm
Its funny when Bama was paying Shula half of what they other big SEC's schools were paying there coaches there were no issues. As far as Saban's total value. Alabama had over 30K applications for this fall and will have over 6,500 freshmen of which over 60% are out of state. I would say the professors there are very happy with the growth of their campus and the fact that Saban is a major factor in that.
June 4th, 2014
12:23 pm
Saban has zero impact on tuition in fact after Saban's arrival Bama's has the largest surplus of funding back to the campus. If anything Saban is helping reduce the cost of tuition.

As always Dawggies and AJC………we appreciate your continued interest in our program.

University professors are smart enough to know that they and Saban are in different industries. They teach university level classes, and Saban runs an entertainment company associated with the University. None of the professors can demand that kind of money and expect to get it. Saban in his role raises tons of money for the Athletic fund, and he can demand the money.
Also, let's face it. Alabama like the rest of the NCAA can only spend the athletic money in just a few ways. Currently they can't pay their athletes so most SEC schools focus on providing the best atmosphere they can for their scholar athletes. When the five power conferences can start setting their own rules, expect football players to be given some of the cash. Say they expand scholarships to 100 per school, and pay players $5k per year. That's only half a million and the players will be able to afford to wash their clothes.

I think he's worth every million. The guy is great. While I'm a Dawg, and love our coach, I think Saban is great. Those dudes at espn all get all over Saban, yet they thought he should have taken big bucks to move to Texas A&M. He's great, he should stay at Bama, and he should be paid a lot more than 7 mill.

I think Nick Saban would at least win 8 Wins in an 11 Win Season or 10 in a 12 Win Season to see Happy Returns. I know I feel the College Student and Student Athlete Reform should go arm in arm, not apart, because I feel an 11 Game Season Return needs to happen. I think Alabama is married to the Contract the same way Texas is still married to Mack Brown's Services, despite him not being coach anymore and the arresting fall in marquee without Mack Brown in Texas Football.

Frankly, I'm happy for the Alabama folks, as how truly exciting it must be every fall EXPECTING to seriously compete for a national title versus hoping to like every other team in the SEC and the country, for that matter. As a Georgia native, I pull for all Georgia teams, as to be perfectly honest, if I were to criticize Saban or Alabama it would most be envy or jealousy driven from a win/loss perspective, even though I am much more proud of a Mark Richt as a man, husband and father than I would ever be of a Nick Saban.
Further, let's be even more honest. What else on earth does the state of Alabama have going for it? Absolutely nothing! Who on earth that doesn't live there has any desire to start a career or move there? Have you ever heard of anyone saying "when I retire I am moving to Alabama." So, let them have their previous mythical championships as, starting this year, from my viewpoint all of those voted on championships are now rendered toothless and henceforth a true NCAA Football Champion will be crowned for the first time in January, 2015.

Economic Growth and Social Capital in Italy
AbstractWe find strong convergence of per capita incomes among the Italian regions during the 1960s and 1970s. Convergence is faster, and equilibrium income levels higher, in regions with more social capital, using any of three measures: an index of civic community, the effectiveness of regional government, and citizen satisfaction with regional government. Our evidence also supports the idea that the post-1983 increases in regional dispersion of per capita GDP are due to the increased autonomy of regional governments being used more effectively in regions with higher levels of social capital. Both results confirm Putnam's view that social institutions matter, while also supporting a version of conditional convergence that makes catching-up a function of the size of the productivity gap between the richer and poorer regions.

Many people think they should time the purchase of their first home based on what's happening in the housing market. In reality, first time homebuyers are better off basing that decision on their personal lifestyle choices and financial situation.
Master Builder
Master Builders Association is the nation's oldest and largest local homebuilders association, serving the Greater Seattle area and all of King and Snohomish counties. If you're looking to buy, build, remodel or maintain your home, we're your source for qualified, local professionals and practical information on getting the job done right.
In the last several years there has been a significant shift towards reducing energy costs and carbon emissions by incorporating green principles into home design, building and operation. Homes that consume less energy and have a lower carbon footprint also generate lower energy and operating costs.
Short answer: If you have an attached garage, the answer could be yes. As convenient as attached garages are, there is mounting evidence that they can be responsible for negatively affecting indoor air quality.
It's rare that a garden or yard is fully engulfed in sunshine. But if you have shady areas in your yard where nothing seems to grow, you don't have to give up those dreams for color, drama and vibrant blossoms. There is a suprising variety of plants that actually thrive in the shade.
There are many compelling reasons why families today are considering building or buying a green home.
When it comes to home repairs, it's important to weigh short-term savings against long term value, because cheaper is not always better in the long run. Acting quickly when you notice problems is the smartest way to reduce home repair costs.
"Going green" isn't just a flash in the pan. For more and more Puget Sound homeowners, sustainability is an important part of planning a dream home. Here are some of the popular sustainable features currently on trend.
Ductless Heat Pumps are continuing to gain in popularity.

Summer's longer, dryer days and warmer temperatures offer perfect conditions for repairing or replacing driveways and sidewalks.
Buying your first home is both exciting and stressful but there are several basic financial steps you can take to reduce the stress and make your new home purchase go more smoothly, letting you enjoy more of the process.
There are few things we cherish more than being able to get outside and enjoy the summer season with a great barbecue. But combining explosive fuels with food, hot metals, and large groups of people can be a recipe for disaster if you ignore important safety rules.
For some potential homebuyers an older home holds charm, history and character. For others the idea of a brand new home that has never been lived in is much more appealing. The rule of thumb used to be that new homes were more expensive than older homes, but that is no longer always the case.
Brick has been a popular building material for centuries and for good reason. It is energy efficient and relatively maintenance free, but many first-time brick home owners are unfamiliar with the signs that their brick home is in need of repair or maintenance. Here are a few things to watch for.
As anyone who gardens in the Pacific Northwest knows, slugs are little thieves who slither in at night to eat off the leaves and fruit from our favorite garden plants.
Nothing says summer like a big "to-do" list. With longer days and warmer temperatures, summer is the perfect time to take stock of your home's condition and make any (hopefully minor) repairs and upgrades. But there's no need to spend your entire summer with a tool in hand.
In most cases, older homes are poorly insulated. Energy codes have gone through much iteration over the years, helping to make homes more energy efficient. A well-insulated home holds in warmth during cold weather and keeps out the heat on hot days.

hi tammy,
yes cherie is home.
she came home tuesday night.... happy me.
tamara is well. she had complications with low calcium levels, then they were too high.
all seems good now.
i read your comment to mari about your daughter.
hope things sort themselves out for her.
Hi Tammy
Sorry im just responding to your message but since my last treatment i have been feeling like crap to put it nicely and i am usually so tired i cant function. Sorry to hear about you daughter,how is she doing? Thanks for the support, i really needed it with the new syptoms ,it can get overwhelming. I need to post about the 3rd benlysta tx but that wont be till later today, when my head is clear. Hugs slim
Hey Tammy,
Luckily he had a mild stroke so his right side was only slightly harmed. It is already getting better but even today his BP was up in the 200's. None of the meds they are using seem to be working but it looks like they are going to let him go home in a couple of days. It worries me because he most likely take any meds once he leaves the hospital if he doesn't see them helping.
How is your daughter? Is she doing better? I hope so and have been thinking of each of you
Hi Mari, after my dad's stroke his kept acting up too. His was due to meds they were using to manage his stroke issues. It finally got balanced. Can he swallow, talk, walk, etc. My dad lost all of that and is now on his own at 79! Isn't that wonderful? The brain can heal to a point if therapy is started fast and intense. He would be so worn out from a little therapy that he would cry and fall asleep in his chair, but he made it through. Bless you and yours dear.
Glad you like the pics. Thanks! Yes, Karen is a gorgeous lady (a total robo-babe IMHO). We are very much in love. She is simply awesome. She has a very kind way about her, she has a twisted sense of humor, and she's not afraid to get her hands dirty. When we first met, I invited her out to my oldest sister's place to do some skeet shooting. I offered her one of my 20 gauge shotguns, it kicks less than a 12 gauge. Well, she pulls out a gun case and shows me a beautiful Ruger 12 gauge shotgun. Cool! No 20 gauge for my girl! Then, we go shooting, and she BEATS us ALL! I'm a former gunsmith and competetive shooter, and the others are all experienced shooters as well. She whooped us all, and I loved every second of it.
That's the kind of girl she is. Works for me!
Oh I am so happy! Baby steps may take longer but they still get you where you need to go! 4 bites will move to 6 then 8 and she is on her way to healing. As for my brother, he is not doing very well. BP is going back up and no one knows why. Thanks so much for being concerned. It means a lot
Speaking of pictures, I took some of a great sunset we had the other night. I added them to one of my photo albums-thought you might like to see them. Here's a link-
How's everything in your world today? Sorry I haven't talked much these past couple of days. I've been putting out some proverbial brushfires having to do with the website. Not my favorite thing to do at all.
Still planning your hike? I want pictures you know!
Oh I do hope your daughter gets better soon! There is nothing worse then when a child is ill (whether they are 4 or 40). I am glad that you are there for your grand baby. That has to wear you out but I know you wouldn't have it any other way! Please let me know what happens with your daughter. I will keep my fingers crossed for you
Hey There! I see someone is now a BEAR! Growing up aren't ya?

Ready to Go
I took Harley back to the vet's today for her boarding. She started to get excited the minute she saw the vet's office. We walked in and the line was three deep so we got into it. All of a sudden all the women behind the desk started saying "There's Harley, she looks so good". When it was our turn she was paws on the counter begging for (and getting) treats. They told me that they couldn't wait until Monday when one of the vet techs who really loved Harley got back. I guess this woman was practically crawling into her cage with her to let her know she's loved. That made me feel really good. I know she's in good hands and will be back to her old self by the time we get home.
After dropping Harley off I picked up Jim and Robert and we went out to lunch and ran some errands. This afternoon was spent packing and getting the house in order. I'm happy to say it's in a nice orderly fashion so we won't be returning to a huge mess. I also sprayed the yard tonight so hopefully if there are any more disease ridden ticks crawling around out there they will be dead by the time we get back. Unfortunately I got stung by a wasp when I was putting the hose up... I'm spraying for those next!
I need to get some sleep, we're leaving when Robert wakes up in the morning and that's usually around 5. He'll wake up, we'll get him dressed, give him his bottle and he'll go back to sleep and hopefully sleep most of the way to Wichita. Once we're there... it's zoo time!

24 Hour Parole
She's home!!!! Our wonderful, beautiful Harley got to come home for a night today!!! YEAH!!! Robert and I stopped by to check on her this morning. When she came into the room Robert was waving his arms and squealing. He was so happy to see her! And she was equally as happy to see her boy. She gave his face a good cleaning.
This afternoon the vet agreed that she was doing well enough to come home for the night since she has to go back to board tomorrow. They even gave her a nice bath before I picked her up so she's be nice and clean. She's not eating the canned food that I put out for her but she did clean up Robert's dinner plate and will eat treats. She's also drinking which is super important. I managed to get her pills down her. Such a willful dog... she'll hold them in her mouth forever! Jim is fixing her some rice and egg for dinner so maybe she'll eat that.
Tomorrow we've got a lot of work to get done so we can leave Sunday. I really want to leave the house clean so we don't come home to a mess!

Roller Coaster
This is how life feels right now. I went to see Harley this morning and for the first time she actually pulled on the lead when she saw me, trotted over and laid her head in my lap. That's a good sign. The bad news is her platelet count is still low and she's still not eating. This afternoon they started her on prednisone to try to boost her appetite. I was hoping that she could come home today so that we could have a few days with her before we leave town. Unfortunately, she's not out of the woods yet. Now I'm thinking about skipping the Wichita leg of vacation. Jim would go and teach then come home Wednesday night and we'd leave for Arkansas on Thursday. It would wind up being the same amount of time in Arkansas. It's not like I can do anything for her right now, I just feel really bad thinking about leaving town while she is still sick. Maybe tomorrow will be better.
I have a grant that I have to finish up and deliver tomorrow. I have a few paragraphs left but am having a horrible case of "I hate everything I write". My goal is to sleep on it tonight, get to the office early tomorrow and pound it out while my head is still clear (or as clear as it gets right now).

On the Mend???
I am so ready for this puppy dog to be home! I think she is too. I stopped by to check on her this morning. She had a bit more pep than yesterday. She's gotten her catheter out but was still on IV fluids. She had been on the medicine for less than 24 hours so even minimal improvement was a good sign for me. The vet tech said she also thought that Harley was perking up a bit. I certainly don't expect her to be fully bouncing off the walls for a bit since it's been two weeks since she's eaten. The original vet will be back tomorrow so hopefully we know then. I can't say enough for the vet and his staff. They have been so accommodating and you can tell they love my baby girl too. I'm really hoping tomorrow she can come home. Of course, she has to go back Saturday to be boarded for the week we're out of town.
Jim is in Chicago tonight. Robert finally went down a little after 8. I haven't eaten. I have a small head ache and I know it's tension from worrying about the dog. It's too quiet here. The cat thinks it's perfect.. just he and I stretched out on the bed. I'm really hoping that Robert has a good night so that I get some sleep. There is so much to do before we leave town Sunday and I have a full plate at work too. It will all get done, it always does. These back to back trips are a killer.
Lately I feel like I just don't have enough time to give 100% to everyone. If there are dishes in the sink I feel guilty about playing with Robert. But if he goes to sleep and I realize we haven't had any quality time together I feel guilty about that. I know I should be up cleaning and doing laundry right now but I'm just too tired.... and it's the season finale of Deadliest Catch followed by Flipping Out... yeah, I've got my priorities straight.

Our St. Louis Weekend
Pictures from our St. Louis trip! Robert is an excellent little traveler. He did great in the car and never did get fussy... so nice!
There were 16 of us this weekend. Jim, Robert & I stayed at a hotel because I knew Robert would never go to sleep with that many people around to entertain. We had such a nice relaxing time. Dawn & Mark's house is in the country and has a lake and such a beautiful view. I could have sat outside and just stared at the lake and pasture for hours. I also had a great time getting to know Jim's family better.
Next week we will be in Arkansas at the end of the week with Gary and Sherry and will probably also see Scott and Nici there.
The bad news is Harley took a turn for the worse this weekend. The really freaky thing is I had a dream last night that I got to the vet's to pick her up and they told me something was wrong. Then I woke up. They called me before I got there this morning. She wasn't eating or drinking, was dehydrated and had diahrreah. Not good. They wanted to do some blood work and x-rays and would call me back. I got some things done at the office and then headed to the vet's. My baby was sick, she needed to know that I was still here for her. The tests didn't show anything really significant but her platelet count was down. She looked horrible. SHe did wag her tail a bit for me but she has lost a bunch of weight, was drooling and her coat looked horrible. While we were waiting for the vet she stood by the door with her tail between her legs looking at me like "take me home mama". While talking to the vet I remembered she had a tick on her a few weeks ago. All the symptoms point to Ehrliclia. A totally treatable disease. And if that's
what it is we've caught it in the acute stages. We started her on the dyocylene and hopefully when I go by tomorrow she will be showing some signs of improvement. They say it takes 24-48 hours to start working. For now she's still at the vet's. Further blood work showed that her liver and kidney function were fine so that's good. She is getting IV fluids to rehydrate her. I'm so worried. I absolutely broke down in the vet's office. I'm sure they think they're dealing with a total nut case. I was so afraid they were going to tell me that it was fatal. We're still not out of the woods but my gut is telling me it was the tick. Time will tell.

When Versace sent male models down the runway last January wearing highly stylized lingerie outfits, some observers figured it was just a Milan Fashion Week stunt, and that the famed Italian brand would never bring such products to market. Well, so much for that theory.
The latest offerings in Versace's Infinity Loop men's underwear collection include black fishnet briefs, lace boxers and, best of all, a sheer mesh bodysuit. We're still waiting for those patterned tulle tops, and when they arrive it'll throw the men's undershirt market into a tizzy.
I suppose we could grumble that Versace is simply filching the kind of eroticized stylings that Body Aware has been selling to fashion-forward guys for over 25 years, but let's face it, this is Versace we're talking about. And when one of the world's biggest fashion trendsetters moves into new territory, people take notice.
And other fashion designers are paying attention too. For instance, DSquared, the young hipster fashion brand out of Canada, jumped in this year with new men's styles in lace and tulle (below).
Is all of this just a trend, or are we looking at the first stages of a new fashion revolution?
And let's be clear about what these runway brands are up to. These aren't costumes or fetish gear or an attempt to enter the trashy erotic apparel market, although to say this is highly eroticized would be an understatement. It's a deliberate attempt by some provocative brands to expand the men's underwear market – and expand people's attitudes about it at the same time.
For so long, there's been a conspicuous double standard in the way the two sexes view their undies. For men, underwear has been dominated by rigid stylistic conformity and all-business functionality. For women, lingerie and underwear certainly have a functional purpose, but that's just the beginning: women today have embraced the concept of high-quality, fashion-centric undergarments that express their individuality, their personality and their erotic selves.
Women get an enormous amount of pleasure from wearing sexy, fashionable underwear that only they (or their lucky partners) ever see. Isn't it about time men wised up and recognized what they've been missing?
Of course, the move toward more fashionable undies only seems dramatic here in North America; in many European countries the men's market has been much broader, much less conservative, and much more accepting of flashy, even feminine, styling. And in many ways, that's what Versace and others are trying to do: export a European laissez faire sensibility that will persuade guys to lighten up about their underwear choices.
Will lacey bikini briefs and see-through mesh cup-holders ever become part of mainstream style? Will all American men finally pick up on what Body Aware customers have known for a long time, that the brightest peacock gets all the attention?
Stay tuned, this should be fun. And in the meantime, be sure to check out some of Body Aware's newest cutting-edge styles.

Push for 'Personhood' Amendment Represents New Tack in Abortion Fight

SophosLabs' trends to watch in 2014
Major technology developments over the last year—and a series of revelations about the National Security Agency that shook the international security community—made 2013 an interesting year.

The 'Uncertainty Index'

Threats lurk within networks, endpoints or devices, often hidden in poorly configured settings or permissions, ineffective data governance, access management and usage policies. These unseen threats come from all perimeters of the organisation and major trends such as BYOD, big data, cloud, and mobile apps have increased the challenge faced by IT leaders.
Dell jumps into enterprise mobility management
Dell Software yesterday introduced a suite of software and services for enterprise mobility management, including a 'secure workspace' for mobile devices that lets enterprise IT managers separate work from data apps.

Baby faces ridiculous charge
A 9-month-old Pakistani boy has been swept up in an attempted murder investigation that highlights the country's dysfunctional criminal justice system where even children are not immune from questionable legal decisions.
The toddler was brought to court last Friday as part of an investigation relating to an incident where residents in his neighbourhood clashed with police. He was granted bail by a judge.
The incident began in late January and touches on many of the challenges Pakistan faces such as electricity shortages and faulty police investigations.
Police and energy officials went to the neighbourhood on Jan. 31 to disconnect customers who they said were stealing electricity and gas. Such pilferage is common in Pakistan, and attempts to disconnect customers are sometimes met with violence.
Police said they were pelted with stones by angry residents, while the toddler's grandfather says some neighbourhood women attacked the police with batons. That altercation sparked police to open an attempted murder investigation into 30 people in the neighbourhood, including the father of the toddler and his unnamed son, said police officer Atif Zulfiqar, who is in charge of the area.
The grandfather, Malik Muhammed Yaseen, said the police came to the house multiple times looking for the son, and when they were told that he was less than a year old they told the family to take him to the court to get bail.
A lawyer for the family, Irfan Tarar, said police appeared to have no idea that the son was so young. He said after the boy was brought to the court on April 3 to get bail, the family spirited him away to the city of Faisalabad to protect him.
The lawyer said the police "blindly" registered the attempted murder case against a baby and said the entire episode was really related to a property dispute between the landlord and the tenants, which included the baby's family.
But Zulfiqar from the police contends the family isn't being truthful. He said the police hadn't deliberately targeted the infant but were looking for a more grown-up son that they believe the family is still protecting. He said the family produced the infant as a way to deflect attention. The grandfather denied this.
Wherever the truth lies, legal analysts say the case shows the deficiencies in a Pakistani criminal justice system where police often lack investigation skills and the legal system can be abused for personal gain.
Legal expert Babar Awan said the judge should have thrown out the case against the baby the day he was produced in court and faulted the police for a shoddy investigation.
"There is also a flaw in the legal system, and it needs to be reformed," he said.
The next hearing the case is April 12 although the family's lawyer says they have been told by the police that they are dropping any investigation of the infant.
