KNOXVILLE — A man convicted of raping a child is asking for the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation's files on the judge who sentenced him to 38 years in prison.
Knox County Criminal Court Judge Richard Baumgartner resigned from the bench in March after pleading guilty to buying prescription painkillers from a felon on probation in his court.
In a motion filed Tuesday, Jayson Bailey seeks a copy of the TBI's files on Baumgartner, according to the Knoxville News Sentinel.
Bailey's attorney, Gregory Isaacs, also asks that prosecutors not have a say in whether the files are released, claiming they are potential witnesses to the judge's misconduct.
Bailey was convicted in April 2010.
He vehemently denied the charge and is seeking a new trial.

Paying for your crimes with Bitcoin
Posted on 27 Jan 2012 at 10:04
Davey Winder examines the online equivalent of cash-in-hand payments
It's become increasingly clear over only two years that Bitcoin is now the currency of choice for the discerning cybercriminal. "Bit-what", do I hear you ask?
I wouldn't be surprised if Bitcoin has flown in below your radar, because many dismiss it as play money, a variation on World of Warcraft's Gold theme. However, there's far more to Bitcoin than gamers' virtual gold – it's a complete digital crypto-currency with no real-world regulation to interfere with its value, and no proprietary ties to hold back its spread.
Bitcoins, usually abbreviated to "BTC", are binary tokens stored in digital wallets, and the important point about them is that they're totally decentralised, with no equivalent of the Bank of England to determine what they're worth at any given time.
It's a complete digital crypto-currency with no real-world regulation to interfere with its value, and no proprietary ties to hold back its spread
There can be nothing similar to "quantitative easing", printing money, in the virtual Bitcoin economy, because there can never be more than 21 million BTCs in circulation. In fact, there are no banks at all, not even virtual ones, since BTCs are bought, sold and exchanged directly between people via a peer-to-peer network.
They're far more like real-world gold than Warcraft Gold, because they're finite in quantity, and you have to mine them in the first place. Yes, that's right – you donate your computing resources to the Bitcoin network via a mining client and are rewarded with cryptographically signed BTC blocks in return, assuming that you donate sufficient CPU power.
This may sound pretty libertarian and cool, a blow struck against the demon bankers – and perhaps it is, until you introduce an inevitable note of caution concerning cybercrime.
Paying for crime
The bad guys quickly realised that they can "mine" BTCs using botnets of malware-infected PCs, and have started creating and distributing malware for that sole purpose.
They've also understood that its lack of an audit trail makes Bitcoin the ideal currency for nefarious transactions. Dodgy geezers have traded in hard cash for years, and the bad guys who deal online now use this online equivalent of untraceable cash-in-hand payments.
However, there's currently a debate going on within the cybercrime research community as to how anonymous Bitcoin really is.
Its anonymity is what attracts money launderers and illicit traders in the first place, and if this turns out to be not quite so anonymous, then the whole edifice is built on unstable ground from the criminals' viewpoint. The main argument is that there can be no real anonymity when using an open-source project such as this, because it employs a public database of transaction data.
This database, or master registry, of confirmed transactions, is known as the "block chain" and is maintained collectively by all the computers that use the Bitcoin network.
Now I'm not a lawyer, but it would seem to me that obtaining a warrant to analyse this transactional data ought to be dead easy, given the open nature of the block chain.
Financial data investigation tools are pretty advanced these days, and both software pattern matching and expert forensic accounting could be applied to extract the kind of evidence required to identify perpetrators and take them to court.
Bitcoin mixer
This argument certainly has some force, but I'm not sure that it fully grasps the nettle of BTC anonymity, which involves something called a "Bitcoin mixer".

A factual article, but lacking in true context.
This article was decent, in that it contained honest, factual information about Bitcoin and the Bitcoin network. However, I think its journalistic value and integrity is questionable when continuous links between Bitcoin, and the illicit anonymous marketplace, Silk Road, continue to exist and draw media attention.
To the layperson, it might seem as though Bitcoin and Silk Road are parts of one system and issue. Nothing could be further from the truth.
The truth is that Silk Road is an anonymous entity operating on the distributed tor network whose purpose is to facilitate unregulated, anonymous transactions between buyers and sellers worldwide. Characterized by brazen, open sales of illicit products and services (as defined by traditional regulatory values), The Silk Road is a topic and issue all its own.
That such an anonymous service would choose to use Bitcoin as its sole method of paying for transactions can hardly be considered a surprise.
Like the tor network that protects the anonymity of all parties involved in the use of the Silk Road marketplace, Bitcoin is yet another open-source, decentralized, P2P network facilitating unregulated asset transfer, holdings, and conversion. I.E. it's merely a payment tool that has attributes that happen to coincide with the requirements of markets and transactions of a questionable nature.
As the increasingly worthless fiat currencies are the tools of an "old-school" economy that is literally on the brink of collapse, radical technology and decentralized universal currency and commodities are providing the foundation of a new economy that is beyond the corruption and economically destructive policies that have been systematically implemented the around the world.
I'd like to see more articles, blogs, and op-ed pieces that look at emerging digital currency solutions in light of how they can be of benefit now, and potential uses and ideas for their future.
In the hands of a carpenter, a hammer is an efficient and safe tool for driving nails. In the hands of someone less scrupulous, that hammer can be a murder weapon. Similarly, Bitcoins are a tool with the tremendous potential of redefining how the world economy operates. Let's not brand it a "murder weapon" just because it could conceivably used for questionable purposes.

What am I missing?
If there's a finite (21 million) Bitcoins in circulation and you can only mine them using CPU resources, then how can you received them, if they're all in circulation? Does somebody else lose their's?

By Steve_Adey on 27 Jan 2012
The computers work out complex mathematical problems, the complexity increases, so at the beginning BitCoins were generated quickly, but the process is slowing down, now that so muc coinage is in circulation.
More Bitcoins will be generated, as and when the next iterration of the problem is solved, but this is a hard work problem, so they can't just "print" new currency, it can only come onto the market once it has been mined - like real gold, you go panning for gold, you can't just whack out a few thousand new nuggets on a printing press.

"so they can't just "print" new currency"
No wonder central bankers don't like it.
By Lacrobat on 27 Jan 2012
Mr. Winder seems to assume that because many Silk Road products are illegal, the existence of the site is "a bad thing:"
...honour among online thieves...
...Silk Road and the nefarious trading that takes place there...
Neither Silk Road buyers nor sellers are thieves. Silk Road simply provides a marketplace for mutual, voluntary trade. Scammers are flagged and honest people refuse to deal with them.
No one should be able to prevent me from trading or using drugs, as long as I'm not coercing, robbing or otherwise committing aggression against someone. In fact, it's the government that commits acts of aggresion, by locking us up because we smoke a joint, shooting the family dog during drug raids, and giving guns to violent drug gangs.
Silk Road is agorism in action, folks!
By Plato on 28 Jan 2012
I can't decide whether Plato is genuine in the points being posted, or taking the mick.
If genuine, are they really saying that locking people up for "...giving guns to violent drugs gangs" is a bad thing?
If genuine, whilst I can accept your right to hold such views, at best I find them dangerously naive. And at worst self-deceiving.
Also, discussing anti-drugs policies is a bit outside the remit of an IT magazine site. Whereas the use of IT for currently illegal activities isn't.
By Penfolduk01 on 29 Jan 2012
I see
Thanks big_D for the explanation. Does that mean when quantum computers come a long, there will be another flurry of a few million coins then?
By Steve_Adey on 30 Jan 2012
Very possibly, plus computers in general are getting faster each year.
Some people are using nVidia CUDA and Tesla arrays, for example, running 24/7, trying to earn coin.
By big_D on 1 Feb 2012
Diminishing returns
I'm guessing these people have enough money to blow away on high-end graphics cards and CPUs. That must outweigh the value of the coins.

Tim Sherwood was pleased with Tottenham's performance against Benfica in the Europa League when they so nearly pulled off a famous victory but had to settle for a draw as a late penalty presented the home side with the opportunity to equalise with the last kick of the night.
With an under-strength team in Portugal due to injuries and suspension, Tim Sherwood had words of praise for all of his players. Speaking to the club's Twitter forum, @SpursOfficial, the manager said,
The performance was magnificent. Once we scored, we created chances and had them where we wanted them. We're gutted to go out.
Reflecting on the tie over the two legs, Sherwood said,
We didn't do ourselves justice at home but we're disappointed we didn't do the ultimate and turn it around, that says everything.
Throughout the game, the 3000 travelling Tottenham fans could be heard singing in support of their team and Sherwood acknowledged the importance of their backing for the players. He told @SpursOfficial,
Tim: "We had a great following here looking for a response and they got it. They sung their hearts out. We're grateful for their support."
— Tottenham Hotspur (@SpursOfficial) March 20, 2014
Again speaking of the support in an interview on the club web-site, Sherwood said,
The following we had here tonight, they travelled a long way looking for a response and they got that.
The manager commented,
We had a game plan and even when they scored, we didn't divert from it. We stuck to it and once we scored, we had them where we wanted them. We were creating chances and we're just gutted we've come away and we're not still in the competition.
Speaking in the post-match interview referring to his critical comments directed at the players over the past weeks, BBC Sport reported Sherwood saying,
It's evident the players are on my side. My little rant has done them no harm, they have showed character and guts and they need to do that until the end of the season and I'm confident they will do that.
On the outcome of the match, the manager commented,
We came here without a recognised centre-back, kept it nice and solid, we conceded a soft goal, but we bounced back. Nothing changed, we still needed to score three goals and I think we were very unfortunate not to score three goals. We had them where we wanted them. They were running scared.
He thought that Harry Kane should have had a penalty, goal.com reporting the manager's thoughts on the incident,
Harry got touched in the back, he's entitled to go down.
@HotspurRelated tweeted the manager's philosophical view of the incident,
Sherwood (Penalty): "Sometimes you get them and sometimes you don't and at the moment we're not getting them." #THFC
— Hotspur Related (@HotspurRelated) March 20, 2014
Having sat in the stand throughout the game, Sherwood was unable to resist taking a swipe at the opposition manager, Jorge Jesus, saying,
It was good to see their manager sweating as much as he did. I didn't see a suave character, he looked really flustered. It was worth the entrance fee to see that.

With the NFL Draft coming up this week, Go Joe Bruin will be breaking down some of UCLA's potential picks. Today we look at wide receiver, Shaquelle Evans.
Vital Stats
Height: 6'1", Weight: 213 lbs., Arm Length: 32", Hands: 9 3/8"
His Time At UCLA
Evans started his college career in 2009 at Notre Dame. He transferred to UCLA and sat out the next year. In his final three years of eligibility as a Bruin, Evans played in thirteen or more games each season.
Last year at UCLA, Evans led the Bruins in most receiving categories. He had a team-high, 47 receptions and totaled 709 receiving yards (over 200 more than Devin Fuller who was second in receiving yards). He averaged the most yards per catch with 15.1, along with 54.5 yards per game.
Combine Statistics
Grade: 5.29
The 40: 4.51 sec
Bench: 13 reps
Vertical: 34.5 inches
Broad: 122.0 inches
3-Cone Drill: 7.07 sec
20-Yard Shuttle: 4.21 sec
60-Yard Shuttle: 11.51 sec
Why Evans Will Be An Asset
Shaquelle Evans has long arms, big hands and good reach. He is a reliable pass catcher, especially in short-yardage situations. He often makes tough catches and can get solid yards after a reception.
What Evans Has To Improve On
Evans, on occasion, will drop a pass that seems "on the money". He does not have break away speed, which does not make him a big down field threat. He is better in zone than he is man-to-man defenses.
He was one of the go-to guys in UCLA's offense, which often utilized up to ten receivers in games. Evans does not quit on plays and goes for everything thrown his way. That and his size should be favorable to some NFL teams who need more length in their receiving corps. He needs to get stronger and work on his speed, but should develop nicely into a first or second string flanker. CBSSports.com has him projected to go in Round 3 or 4.

Model Lisa Dean was the 'legs' in the video 'Dirty Diana'. She had the 'best legs in Hollywood' and this is what got her the part, as evidenced in this letter of authenticity accompanying the 3-piece leather outfit she wore in the video. The outfit is up for auction at Nate Sanders Auction House where you can see it, and also find this letter:

Water Quality
- Published in Sound Off
There are local groups working hard to improve the quality of our lake and river waters. I am surprised so many people are unaware of the consequences of water degradation. There are three kinds of water. Free water, cheap water, and costly water. When that is gone and municipal plants have to upgrade we will be on costly water. Are you ready for the day when your water bill will equal your car payment?

ScholarChip launches NFC platform for school admins
ScholarChip, a provider of smart ID solutions for schools, has announced the release of its new School Safety and Operations (SSOS) platform for NFC-enabled mobile phones.
The SSOS platform includes Android applications for taking attendance in classrooms and on school buses, monitoring hall traffic, paying for public transportation, making mobile payments and ticketing for extracurricular events.
With SSOS, a student is issued a secure contactless token that consolidates a wallet, keys and ID cards into one card, which can now be read using an NFC-enabled mobile phone.
For example, a student traveling to school in the morning can pay for a transit fare by tapping the token against an NFC phone on the school bus, or a contactless reader on the public bus or at the subway turnstile. When the student gets to school, they can tap the token to check in at an entry kiosk, enabling teachers and administrators to know that the student has arrived safely….
Google debuts GetMo, an m-commerce resource for UK retailers
Google Inc. is shipping its mobile commerce resource site across the Atlantic to help retailers in the United Kingdom find ways to deploy m-commerce sites. Along the way it receives a name change to Get Mobile. Dubbed GetMo for short, the initiative is similar to the Go Mobile site launched in November in the United States.
Located at HowToGetMo.com, GetMo presents data Google uses to make the argument that businesses need to go mobile. It offers a tool that shows how a retailer's site currently looks on a smartphone and provides tips on areas for improvement. It showcases exemplary mobile web sites and highlights case studies of businesses on the mobile web. And it includes a list of 16 vendors that Google says can help a business craft a mobile web site.….
UK Mobile adspend increases 157%
According to annual figures from the Internet Advertising Bureau (IAB) and PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), UK adspend on mobile media – including search, display and video – surged 157% year on year to a total of £203.2m in 2011.
The IAB claims this growth has been fuelled by the rapid uptake of apps and social media, the availability of cheaper data packages, and more consumers using their mobile devices to access the web while watching TV.
For the first time, retail is among the top-spending mobile sectors, accounting for a 12.3% share of total spend, compared with 5.5% the previous year….
Canada's payment systems need mobile boost, according to Canadian government report
Canada's economy could get an annual $32 billion boost with a more determined shift to digital payments products and services, according to the final report of a federal review of the nation's payment systems.
But change won't come without government leadership, according to final submissions from the Task Force for the Payments System Review. The task force spent 18 months examining the opportunities and challenges involved in decisively moving Canada away from paper-based payments, and blamed a lack of innovation by key financial institutions including Canada's major banks.
"We still rely largely on old-fashioned methods of payment such as paper-based processing, and cash and checks," the review said. "In addition, Canada is falling behind in the international push to generate a secure mobile ecosystem, the revolutionary agent that will deliver extraordinary new commercial and public services to consumers via their smart phones." .…

Where does your Tumblr name come from?
Yeah, long story. Morgenstern is just german for morning star. The morning star is the last bright star that shows up before dawn. It's referred also as the light-bringer, because it literally shows up just before dawn. In latin that's spelled Lucifer, and it means exactly that, light bringer, star of the morning. Even in the bible. But give it a few centuries and it's become a fallen angel with horns, pitchfork and tail. Talk about lost in translation.

The other day someone was complaining about being bored with the tumblrs they normally read. Below is a list of tumblrs I can't go a day without checking:
- 52Books - Laura has made it her mission to read a book a week for all of 2008. I love keeping up with her list and have garnered many ideas from it. (Note: I am also a member of the Tumblr Bookclub, which I recommend if you are looking to read good books but don't have time for one a week.)
- lfarm - Lauren's content is always amusing and often teaches me something. I love her carefree, optimistic outlook on life. She doesn't have an ounce of New York snobbery, which is a rarity around here, and her posts always put me in a good mood.
- Squashed - this blog helps me tap into my political side. To be honest, some of his stuff is a little over my head, but it gets me thinking.
- en quotations - this tumblr is a collection of quotes. And who doesn't love quotes?
- blahblahblahg - Sabine is just a damn cool girl. She hails from Canada and thus posts a lot of content us Americans wouldn't share.
- Seriously though - I'm going to dub Erin the queen of reblogging. She finds the coolest content on tumblr and keeps nicely organized for me.
- la.petite.figue - I get my fix of cool artsy stuff here.
This is by no means a comprehensive list. Everyone I follow is interesting and contributes cool stuff, but these folks are some of my favorites.
Have a tumblr you can't live without? Share it with me. I'd love to check them out.

Reformers Unanimous, a national Christ-centered addictions program headquartered in Rockford, Ill., has started a chapter in Cincinnati.
Friendship Baptist Church hosts the program every Friday night from 7 to 9:30 p.m. at the church, 8580 Cheviot Road. The program is open to all adults who struggle with an addiction or a "stubborn habit."
Reformers Unanimous founder and National Director Steve Curington, after a 10-year addiction to drugs and alcohol, was able to put aside his addictions through his faith in Jesus Christ, the support of his church, and his understanding of God's principles of life from the Bible. Curington founded Reformers Unanimous in April 1996 to share the truth and principles that helped him overcome his addictions. The program claims that success rate is very high for the student who applies the curriculum and the principles taught and is faithful to the meetings.
There is also a teen program, Kidz Club, and nursery.
For more information, call Friendship Baptist Church at 741-7017, or Eric Anderson, director, at 513 -741-7017 or 513-476-4013.

Watch Captain America Online - Free Streaming 1990 Full Movie on Putlocker. the actor who plays Steve Rogers/Capt. America is Matt Salinger, son of the aforementioned author of "Catcher in the Rye". Regarding the movie even though. I wouldn't price this as a horrible movie, however it positive wasn't good.
