The Honourable Irwin CotlerMinister of Justice and Attorney General of CanadaHouse of Commons, 284 Wellington StreetOttawa, Ontario K1A OA6
Dear Minister:
RE: The 2005 "Lawful Access" Consultations
Commissioner Ann Cavoukian has asked me to write you in response to the federal government's 2005 "Lawful Access" proposals. The Ontario Information and Privacy Commissioner's mandate includes commenting on developments that affect the personal privacy of Ontarians. The current proposals clearly do. Accordingly, we welcome the opportunity to join other Canadian Privacy Commissioners and Ombuds Officers in this critical public consultation.
First, please accept our thanks for having your staff and multi-department project team attend at our office. The presentations and subsequent discussions were very helpful. What follows is our response to six power point slide decks and the oral presentation provided on March 7, 2005 (Combating cyber-crime: the context, March 2005; E-mails: Considerations for Criminal Law Policy, March 2005; Lawful Access Proposals: Proposals with Respect to Compelling Interception Capability and Access to Subscriber Information, March 2005; Lawful Access: Legal Review, February-March 2005; and Lawful Access – Amendments to the Competition Act, March 2005). (More recently, we received and reviewed Transmission Data: Considerations for Criminal Law Policy, February 2005.) Should the consultations produce legislative action, we may, of course, provide further comment at that time.
It is apparent that, since Commissioner Cavoukian wrote the Minister of Justice on December 10 th, 2002, the "Lawful Access" proposals have evolved. For example, it appears that the government's intention is to limit the surveillance of live communications including in transit e-mail consistent with Part VI of the Criminal Code of Canada. This is welcome news. We also applaud the government's decision not to create databanks on subscribers or their day-to-day use of the new technologies. No such databanks should be countenanced. And we encourage you to press forward with the proposal to treat surreptitious video surveillance as a means of "last resort".
At the same time, we believe that critical elements of the current plans appear to misconceive how Canadians interact with the new communications technologies and significantly underestimate the sensitivity of the personal information involved. The concomitant risks to privacy and other fundamental rights are significant. While we continue to support the vital law enforcement interest in pursuing electronic evidence and intelligence about serious wrongdoing, we also urge the government to ensure that any search and seizure of personal communications be subject to the most rigorous oversight.
Our comments and recommendations relate to three broad themes: 1) the call for a Privacy and Security Taskforce; 2) the sensitivity of the personal information involved; and 3) the oversight necessary to counter the risks of broader surveillance and access powers.
1. The Call for a Privacy and Security Taskforce
Rapid technological changes are transforming the means, volume, and nature of our private communications and private activities. We no longer need leave our own homes to shop, study, bank, socialize, or consult. As we participate in this transformation, new information structures arise and a new economy grows. However, in participating, Canadians have not surrendered their rights to privacy. Indeed, as reactions to recent information security breaches suggest, Canadians and the companies that service our electronic relationships are becoming increasingly concerned about confidentiality and the protection of personal privacy.
Like the traditional storefront economy, the new web-based economy is dependent on establishing and maintaining trust. Routine government surveillance is as capable of undermining that trust as poor corporate security. Nor is trust enhanced by transforming companies doing online business into virtual agents of the state. And yet, since 2002, federal legislation has been passed that encourages or even requires such entities to engage in surreptitious evidence gathering.
In focusing on intrusive new powers, there is a risk that we endanger proactive innovation. By facilitating surveillance and access, we may even inadvertently make our communications systems more vulnerable to illegal access. Canadians have been leaders in developing new technologies. In our view, Canadians are possessed of untapped ingenuity and enterprise with respect to developing measures to enhance security, safety, and privacy.
Accordingly, we urge the Government of Canada to publicly commit to cooperation with universities, the private sector, non-governmental organizations, and other Canadians in investing in educational, technological, and privacy enhancing preventative measures to combat identity theft and other cyber-facilitated wrongdoing. Privacy and security would both benefit from a coordinated effort to enhance the national and international standards in foundation documents, authentication procedures, encryption technologies, user control, and software design. A Privacy and Security Taskforce dedicated to facilitating such work should be struck.
Legislative reform should not precede such an undertaking. As a founding member of the Privacy Enhancing Technologies Testing and Evaluation Project, our office would be pleased to provide whatever assistance we can.
2. The Sensitivity of the Personal Information Involved
Until recently, real-time electronic eavesdropping on private communications has arguably been the most intrusive form of surveillance. Innocent individuals who make or receive a call through a wiretapped telephone line or who enter a "bugged" room are vulnerable to being swept up in a criminal investigation or an intelligence file. A person's intimate relationships and private exchanges may be noted, recorded, and subject to further investigation. In recognizing these serious risks to privacy, Parliament's response has been to insist on both stringent judicial oversight and annual reporting on police use of this highly intrusive form of surveillance.
In contrast, the 2005 "Lawful Access" proposals would allow the state to collect extensive electronic information and intelligence about individuals without comparable safeguards. At the outset of the 21 st Century, the everyday use of new digital technologies routinely generates a highly revealing record of personal information as Canadians go about their day to day lives. It is not necessary to "listen in" live to electronic communications in order to capture an in depth data-rich composite of our private and personal activities, movements, intentions, relations, and associations. Access to data stored by telecommunication companies, ISP's, banks, other businesses and institutions, and at home can reveal that personal profile at any time of the day or night.
Indeed, the private content of our live telephone communications may be dwarfed by the private content in the digital trail or traffic data created every time each of us sends an e-mail, surfs the Internet, uses a bank card or simply carries a cell phone or text messaging device. While not all of this data is currently stored for any great length of time, much of it will be increasingly subject to ready storage and instant analysis as technological capacities increase and technological costs decrease.
Accordingly, it is our view that any state access to the personal information associated with private electronic communications including communication content, traffic data, as well as location data, must be subject to rigorous independent oversight.
3. The Oversight Necessary to Counter the Risks of Broader Surveillance and Access Powers
A) The Role of Judicial Authorization and the Threshold for a Warrant
Recently enacted and newly proposed "production" orders allow the state to access corporate held databases. Because "production" orders are directed in whole or part to the capturing of private electronic communication data, they are comparably as intrusive of privacy as old style telephone wiretaps. As indicated above, a week's worth of such data may expose the interactions of families, friends, acquaintances, and associates. And because such orders are served on third parties, the people directly impacted may never learn of such violations of their privacy. Alternatively, they may be surprised to discover the consequences of someone's earlier decision to treat them as "guilty by association". Travel plans may be derailed, jobs may be denied, and persons may be detained or deported. Where the information is shared with the law enforcement and national security authorities of other countries, the person may even be subject to extra-legal rendition. While police must not be denied the power to pursue electronic evidence of serious wrongdoing, Canadians' interest in privacy must not be discarded upon a mere suspicion that someone has committed a minor offence.
In our view, it is essential that more stringent conditions precedent be enacted in relation to state access to this information. Production orders in respect of personal electronic communication should be confined to investigations in respect of the list of serious offences in section 183 of the Criminal Code. Before issuing such orders, a high court judge ought to be satisfied that:
The government also proposes to create a new set of powers that police could invoke to require data managers to locate and hold personal information in documents or databanks. The proposals argue that these "preservation" order powers are necessary to support the production order powers discussed above. In our view, any power to issue a "preservation" order, including the proposal that police officers be effectively empowered to "knock on the door" and order data managers to freeze data, should be confined to the same list of serious offences in section 183.
The 2005 proposals would also provide law enforcement with a broad power to contact Internet and telecommunication service providers and compel them to disclose personal "subscriber information", in some cases within 30 minutes of the demand. At a minimum, we urge you to ensure that any such power is confined to clear and defined statutory grounds. Moreover, in addition to requiring that peace officers document their use of this power, they should also be required to provide service providers with explicit written justification for each demand before access to the identifying layers associated with the personal "subscriber information" is granted.
Finally, all those whose personal information is obtained under a surveillance and access regime should be entitled to notification at the appropriate time. And, in accord with recommendations that follow, state use of these powers and access to this personal information should be superintended and reviewed by an independent agency.
B) The Role of an Independent Surveillance and Access Review Agency
The proposal states that the supervision provided by prior judicial authorization and complaint-driven oversight under the Charter, the Privacy Act, and the RCMP Act provide sufficient safeguards for the protection of our fundamental rights and freedoms. We are of the view that these protections, while critical, are fundamentally insufficient in this context.
The proposed warrant applications will involve complex, highly technical, and sensitive information. Moreover, warrant applications are necessarily held in camera and ex parte. Innocent individuals subject to surreptitious invasions of their privacy may never be in a position to file for let alone find redress. Any in depth public scrutiny of such matters is the exception to a general rule of secrecy.
Furthermore, under your proposal, local, provincial, and federal law enforcement agencies would be empowered to use these intrusive powers in pursuit of both domestic and international investigations. The current reporting practices of provincial and federal Attorneys General vary considerably despite longstanding wiretap reporting requirements mandated under the Criminal Code of Canada. Without a focused harmonizing and coordinating authority, inconsistent policies and practices are likely to develop among the various jurisdictions. Privacy rights and civil liberties will suffer from fragmented and inconsistent protections
In order to safeguard our fundamental freedoms and human rights, we believe it is critical that Parliament and the public learn of the ongoing and cumulative impact of personal electronic communication surveillance and access.
Accordingly, we call for the creation of an independent, arm's-length Surveillance and Access Review Agency (SARA) mandated to supervise access to this highly sensitive personal information and report annually to Parliament on the propriety of the operations of the regime. The Commissioner of such an agency should be an independent Officer of Parliament nominated by an all-party committee of the House of Commons and appointed by the Governor-in-Council with sufficient security of tenure to ensure independence and sufficient powers and resources to carry out the mandate of the Office and ensure the desired transparency and accountability.
There is precedent for such an agency. In Switzerland, the federal agency, le Services des tâches spéciales oversees all electronic and mail surveillance and access activities at both the federal and canton level. A Canadian Surveillance and Access Review Agency (SARA) would superintend each intercept, surveillance and production warrant granted in respect of private electronic communications. Like the Swiss model, SARA could perform a screening function, ensuring all conditions precedent are fulfilled before an application for a judicial warrant is made. Where all of the conditions were not fulfilled, the omission would have to be rectified before the warrant application could be filed. SARA should be organized such that applications to be made on an exigent basis could be dealt with expeditiously.
The Agency could also screen all police preservation and subscriber information requests, as well as vet any electronic communications custodian decisions to voluntarily disclose any personal electronic communication data to the authorities. (Electronic communication custodians would include telecommunications, banking, and web-based companies, as well as any institution, organization, or corporation that routinely handles communication data.) Voluntary disclosures would first be transmitted to SARA which would then be empowered to determine whether or not they disclosed evidence warranting disclosure to law enforcement. Under exigent circumstances, police would be able to issue a preservation order or make a subscriber information request directly to a communication custodian. However, both the police and the custodian should be required to report to SARA immediately thereafter.
Bearing in mind the need to protect the integrity of any ongoing investigations, SARA would ensure the appropriate notification of any individuals whose privacy has been impacted by surveillance or production warrants, preservation or subscriber information requests, or voluntary disclosures. Contemporaneously, the authorities would be required to attest to the destruction of personal information in respect of innocent parties. Similarly, a uthorities who had received information in error or under a faulty application would report to SARA and attest to the destruction of the information.
Critically, SARA's role in superintending all warrants, requests, and disclosures would allow it to study and report on all aspects of the operation of a personal electronic communication surveillance and access regime including:
SARA might also commission studies on the privacy impact of new communications technologies and personal information handling practices. In any case, SARA would issue an annual detailed public report directly to Parliament. It would also be required to alert the relevant Attorneys General whenever it had a reasonable basis to believe that law enforcement officials or communication custodians had misapplied the surveillance and access powers so as to warrant discipline, sanction, criminal prosecution, and/or policy changes. And SARA would report annually on the government's handling of any such alerts.
In our view, neither the current law, nor the latest proposals provide sufficiently robust or dynamic privacy protections. And as new technologies appear, surveillance and access capacities tend to grow. The government must be mindful that, in the absence of adequate safeguards today, the privacy rights of Canadians may be harmed by function creep tomorrow as new tools and new powers are put to new uses. Any proposal to significantly expand surveillance powers without increasing independent oversight has not and, in our view, cannot be justified.
In light of the above-noted concerns, we urge the Government of Canada to both establish a Privacy and Security Taskforce and enhance the privacy protections in the "lawful access" proposals. We strongly urge you to ensure that any further changes to the law are subject to full public scrutiny and debate, and a careful and deliberative legislative process. Changes to the laws governing search, seizure, and surveillance must not only provide law enforcement with the tools to counter technologically sophisticated wrongdoing, they must also ensure that privacy rights in Canada enjoy necessary enduring protections. In particular, any new legislation should clearly provide that any personal information associated with private electronic communications data enjoys a strong legal expectation of privacy backed up by rigorous oversight.
In closing, we thank you for your efforts to consult stakeholders across Canada. In furtherance of advancing the public debate about these critical issues, we will be posting this letter on our website at web1.ipc.on.ca.. For your convenience, I attach a summary of our recommendations. If we can be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact our offices.
Sincerely yours,
Ken Anderson Assistant Commissioner (Privacy)

Read an Excerpt
Cordina's Royal Family
By Nora Roberts
Harlequin Enterprises Ltd.
Chapter OneShe'd forgotten why she was running. All she knew was that she couldn't stop. If she stopped, she'd lose. It was a race where there were only two places. First and last.
Distance. Every instinct told her to keep running, keep going so that there was distance between her and ... where she'd been.
She was wet, for the rain was pounding down, but she no longer jumped at the boom of thunder. Flashes of lightning didn't make her tremble. The dark wasn't what frightened her. She was long past fear of such simple things as the spread of darkness or the violence of the storm. What she feared wasn't clear any longer, only the fear itself. Fear, the only emotion she understood, crawled inside her, settling there as if she'd known nothing else. It was enough to keep her stumbling along the side of the road when her body screamed to lie down in a warm, dry place.
She didn't know where she was. She didn't know where she'd been. There was no memory of the tall, wind-whipped trees. The crash and power of the sea close by meant nothing, nor did the scent of the rain-drenched flowers she crushed underfoot as she fled along the side of a road she didn't know.
She was weeping, but unaware of it. Sobs wracked her, clawing at the fear, doubling it so that it sprinted through her in the absence of everything else. Her mind was so clouded, her legs so unsteady. It would be easy to simply curl up under one of thosetrees and give up. Something pushed her on. Not just fear, not just confusion. Strength-though one wouldn't guess it to look at her, though she herself didn't recognize it-drove her beyond endurance. She wouldn't go back to where she'd been, so there was no place to go but on.
How long she'd been running wasn't important. She'd no idea whether it'd been one mile or ten. Rain and tears blinded her. The lights were nearly on her before she saw them.
Panicked, like a rabbit caught in the beams, she froze. They'd found her. They'd come after her. They. The horn blasted, tires squealed. Submitting at last, she crumpled onto the road, unconscious.
* * *
"She's coming out of it."
"Thank God."
"Sir, you must step back for a moment and let me examine her. She may just be drifting again."
Over the mists she was swimming in, she heard the voices. Hollow, distant. Fear scrambled through her. Even in her half-conscious state her breath began to catch. She hadn't escaped. But the fear wouldn't show. She promised herself that. As she came closer to the surface, she closed her hands into tight fists. The feel of her fingers against her palms gave her some sense of self and control.
Slowly she opened her eyes. Her vision ebbed, clouded, then gradually cleared. So, as she stared into the face bending over her, did the fear.
The face wasn't familiar. It wasn't one of them. She'd know, wouldn't she? Her confidence wavered a moment, but she remained still. This face was round and pleasant, with a trim, curling white beard that contrasted with the smooth, bald head. The eyes were shrewd, tired, but kind. When he took her hand in his, she didn't struggle.
"My dear," he said in a charming, low-key voice. Gently he ran a finger over her knuckles until her fingers relaxed. "You're quite safe."
She felt him take her pulse, but continued to stare into his eyes. Safe. Still cautious, she let her gaze wander away from his. Hospital. Though the room was almost elegant and quite large, she knew she was in a hospital. The room smelled strongly of flowers and antiseptics. Then she saw the man standing just to the side.
His bearing was militarily straight and he was impeccably dressed. His hair was flecked with gray, but it was still very dark and full. His face was lean, aristocratic, handsome. It was stern, she thought, but pale, very pale compared to the shadows under his eyes. Despite his stance and dress, he looked as though he hadn't slept in days.
"Darling." His voice shook as he reached down to take her free hand. There were tears under the words as he pressed her fingers to his lips. She thought she felt the hand, which was strong and firm, tremble lightly. "We have you back now, my love. We have you back."
She didn't pull away. Compassion forbade it. With her hand lying limply in his, she studied his face a second time. "Who are you?"
The man's head jerked up. His damp eyes stared into hers. "Who-"
"You're very weak." Gently the doctor cut him off and drew her attention away. She saw him put a hand on the man's arm, in restraint or comfort, she couldn't tell. "You've been through a great deal. Confusion's natural at first."
Lying flat on her back, she watched the doctor send signals to the other man. A raw sickness began to roll inside her stomach. She was warm and dry, she realized. Warm and dry and empty. She had a body, and it was tired. But inside the body was a void. Her voice was surprisingly strong when she spoke again. Both men responded to it.
"I don't know where I am." Beneath the doctor's hand her pulse jerked once, then settled. "I don't know who I am."
"You've been through a great deal, my dear." The doctor spoke soothingly while his brain raced ahead. Specialists, he thought. If she didn't regain her memory in twenty-four hours, he'd need the best.
"You remember nothing?" The other man had straightened at her words. Now, with his ramrod stance, his sleep-starved eyes direct, he looked down at her.
Confused and fighting back fear, she started to push herself up, and the doctor murmured and settled her back against the pillows. She remembered ... running, the storm, the dark. Lights coming up in front of her. Closing her eyes tight, she struggled for composure without knowing why it was so important to retain it. Her voice was still strong, but achingly hollow when she opened them again. "I don't know who I am. Tell me."
"After you've rested a bit more," the doctor began. The other man cut him off with no more than a look. And the look, she saw at a glance, was both arrogant and commanding.
"You're my daughter," he said. Taking her hand again, he held it firmly. Even the light trembling had stopped. "You are Her Serene Highness Gabriella de Cordina."
Nightmare or fairy tale? she wondered as she stared up at him. Her father? Her Serene Highness? Cordina ... She thought she recognized the name and clung to it, but what was this talk of royalty? Even as she began to dismiss it, she watched his face. This man wouldn't lie. His face was passive, but his eyes were so full of emotion she was drawn to them even without memory.
"If I'm a princess," she began, and the dry reserve in her voice caused a flicker of emotion to pass over his face briefly. Amusement? she wondered. "Does that make you a king?"
He nearly smiled. Perhaps the trauma had confused her memory, but she was still his Brie. "Cordina is a principality. I am Prince Armand. You're my eldest child. You have two brothers, Alexander and Bennett."
Father and brothers. Family, roots. Nothing stirred. "And my mother?"
This time she read the expression easily: pain. "She died when you were twenty. Since then you've been my official hostess, taking on her duties along with your own. Brie." His tone softened from the formal and dispassionate. "We call you `Brie.'" He turned her hand up so that the cluster of sapphires and diamonds on her right hand glimmered toward her. "I gave you this on your twenty-first birthday, nearly four years ago."

Once the subcontractor accepts the work, completing it is a snap. The sub or the sub's technician can complete the work order on any web-enabled device - even at your customer's site on a mobile device. Once the work is complete, the business rules you set up make sure that the subcontractor bills you at the right labor rate and part cost. The subcontractor can even use an API to connect the portal to their own accounting system.
Best of all, the Portal lets you see in real-time what's going on with your subcontracted jobs. For all of your subcontracted work orders, you can see the status through the portal from any web-connected device. To make it even easier, the Portal generates real-time email (or text) alerts to every work order status change the subcontractor makes.
The benefits from the subcontractor portal include:
Real-time visibility to subcontractor's work
Accountability to the end customer
Faster completion and closure of the subcontracted job
No surprises of delayed work and lost overruns faster invoicing for subcontracted work!

The health care world is constantly changing, and in Greater Orlando, it's one of the fastest growing industries as local providers seek to stay on the cutting edge of the field. That means local doctors have to stay ahead of the curve so they don't get left behind. That's good news for Central Floridians, who regularly seek out the best medical care they can find. In order to make the search a bit easier, we've partnered with the global health solutions company Best Doctors Inc. for our annual list of the medical professionals who are making a difference. In addition, we asked our readers...
Doctors provide insight into their world.
Dr. Julie Wei

"I wish I could tell myself early on to not be so self-assured. Early in a physician/surgeon's practice, one is naturally focused on one's abilities and believes that we can 'fix' anything. The longer I practice and more experience I have, I am much more humbled by all the factors that influence a patient's care and outcome, which I can't control."

KIDS AT THE BUS STOP, teachers prepping lesson plans, lockers stuffed with books, athletic teams hitting the practice field. It can only mean one thing: The return of the school year is upon us.

started off a little slow and a lot of tutorial to get you started,the graphic are superb and the controls are basic.
this game is 2-dand offers a good story,it has a lot of hidden sexual thems that are somewhat hidden,but there ther unless im just reading it wrong.but i dont think so.
so you have to do some garthmelding to aquire stronger items and weapons.,not to difficult,but it kinda reminded me of another recent game.
you do dives which get u closer to your retvateil,who learns specila moves.this dive is where sexual innuendos are found.
also ther are cosmosos,in which you learn other
things and come closer to your reyvateil,
there are 3 phases to this game with multiple endings.
thers alot of work and reading and listening in this anime rpg.
ity really takes you back to some good old 2-d gaming.with great artwork and clean graphics.
more to follow......

Worldly Philosophers: The Lives, Times, and Ideas of the Great Economic Thinkers / Edition 6by Robert L. Heilbroner
View All Available Formats & Editions
Pub. Date: 02/01/1987
Publisher: Touchstone
Hailed by John Kenneth Galbraith almost a half century ago as a "brilliant achievement, The Worldly Philosophers with more than 2 million copies sold, not only enables us to see more deeply into our history, but helps us to better understand our own times. Heilbroner provides the new theme that connects thinkers as different as Adam Smith and Karl Marx: the desire to understand how a capitalist society works. It is a focus never more needed than in this age of confusing economic headlines.
In a bold new last chapter titled "The End of the Worldly Philosophy?" Heilbroner reminds us that the word "end" refers both to the purpose and the limits of economics. This chapter conveys a concern that today's increasingly "scientific" economics may overlook fundamental social and political issues that are central to economics. Thus, unlike its predecessors, this new edition provides not just an indispensable illumination of our past, but a call to action for our future.

I loved this book. It was gritty and tough, not you typical sugar coated romance. I couldn't put it down.
This is definitely one of my favourites... Teresa outdid herself with the telling of this beautiful story. I immediately identified with the characters and found myself drifting away into the book and the beautiful love story that she told. Knowing that a sequel is on it's way... sends shivers up my spine.... just when you thought the story was over... Teresa has more to say.... 2 thumbs up for this book... Thanks Teresa :-)
Great Read This story was very raw and makes the reader take a hard look in to the life of a woman, who is not a drug addict herself but, whose life is ruled by it. Her boyfriend Jax and her mother delve in to the world of drugs to escape the harsh world of reality leaving Cass to deal with responsibility alone. "You promised me you wouldn't do that anymore. You promised." Tears formed in my eyes, but I struggled to keep them from falling. He ignored me and tightened the belt around his arm. Cass feels she will never be anything more then what she people perceive her as, worthless White Trash. She doesn't indulge herself with fantasy of a knight and shining armor coming in on his white steed to sweep her off her feet. The knight she thought would save her life is sitting in their trailer with a needle hanging out of his arm. My eyes, normally a sky blue, looked dull and faded. I felt as though my life was literally draining out of them. I was becoming my mother. All I needed was a drug habit and forty extra pounds. Blonde hair, blue eyed nothing. One day during her shift at the diner she works at, she meets Tucker White. His outside appearance gives off the bad boy vibe and makes Cass cringe at the thought of being attracted to him. She learned early on bad boys were nothing but trouble. For unforeseen reason she finds herself completely attracted to Tucker but because of her barriers shes mean and heartless towards him. However, Tucker doesn't give up on his advances and a relationship begins to develop between the two. I really liked this story. I do wish it had been a little longer because it was over way too soon for me.
Wow... This story wrenched my heart, even in the happy times between Cass and Tucker it was painful. It definitely kept me reading. I had to know that Cass was going to get her happy ending, that she was going to learn to love and let someone love her. I can't wait till the second book, I know that there will be a lot more recovery for Cass...This is a fave for sure.
Fasciating introduction to economic history. This book will make you want to learn more.
I really liked this book. This book is mentioned in two other excellent books (Freakonomics and A Beautiful Mind). I am not going to major in economics, and I am too young to enter the classes at my school. I plan to read this book again once I begin those classes. I know I will be ahead of the class thanks, in part, to this book. I did notice that there is a slight pull towards certain economic systems (socialism). The book could use some more editing (by outside sources). I felt certain topics could have been discussed together instead of spread out. Sadly, I don¿t think there will be another edition. (Heilbroner died earlier this year.)
Although that might be an overstatement, this book was a wonderful guide to understanding the beliefs of the great economists of lore. Amid thousands of pages of reading this semester, this stood out as the one thing I would read for pleasure. Understanding the human side of the thinkers was invaluable.
This review is of the (currently) unpublished expanded edition. I've found that the more I enjoy a book, the harder it is for me to review. I might have mentioned this once (or twice) before. White Trash Beautiful is no exception. I really liked this book. Mummert's characters really come to life. Out of all of the characters I've read about recently, Cass has to be at the top of my favorites list. I liked that even though her life wasn't all rainbows and butterflies, she wasn't willing to lie down and accept it. She was working and fighting for a better life for her and her mother. While I didn't like Jax, his character was done wonderfully. Another character that I enjoyed, though I didn't at first, was Larry. One character that I didn't connect with very much, though, was Tucker. Even though he's a main character, I didn't feel much of anything for him. While I absolutely loved that he wanted to protect and care for Cass, I didn't see how he fell in love with her. There wasn't ever a defining moment. It felt weird for me. The story was pretty good. The pacing was nice up until the last few chapters. The ending felt very rushed. Since it's the first book in the trilogy, I don't understand why the ending was so rushed. I believe it would have made more sense to keep up the initial smooth pacing and either make the book longer or just continue the story on in the second book. Other than the rushed ending, I liked the story and I cannot wait for the second book in the trilogy. * This book was received from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. * Be sure to check out my blog, KDH Reviews, to see all of my reviews.
I could barely put the book down. I wanted to know what was going to happen next.
Great story! Can not wait for the next one! :-)
omg this is def on my recd to friends list. i was immediately invested in the characters and felt everything Cass did. i love when authors get to show versatility through their different books. i read the honor series first and fell in love. glad that i fell in love with cass and tucker also & even though their sex wasn't as "nasty" as in honor....it was still hot!
Cass's life is a terrible tragedy. A young girl with a rotten life, and no where to turn is the basis of this entire story. With an addicted Mother, and an abusive addict for a boyfriend she has found herself in a white trash lifestyle. Although, this character is far from white trash. With a realistic look on life she knows that the only way to change her present is to work hard for a better life. It is easy to see over the progression of this story that this young woman just can not find a break. That is until a mysterious Tucker walks into the diner. This relationship is long and steady, but I have to admit that I was a little disappointed in the character building. The story is narrated in first person, so while it is easy to relate and understand Cass, it was a struggle to maintain a firm grasp on the other characters. With this obstacle I feel that it also hindered the relationship development, and left their intensity so what lacking. The story line was one of extreme potential. When touching on such dark aspects of life I was intrigued from the start, but I wished everything else would have meshed with the desperation of the situation. After peaking my interest I will definitely have to read anymore additions to this series, but I hope to see the potential reached more effectively in the novels to come. Beware Mummert's story is not your happy go' lucky romance. Be prepared to touch the dark and dangerous aspects of Cass's life.~BookWhisperer Reviewer JO~
Good read, strong main character. I read in one sitting and really enjoyed the book.
Loved it!

Staff were very helpful- took luggage to our room. There was a lift which was a big help when bringing luggage back down to checkout. Breakfast was included and consisted of bread and jam or bread and egg and a banana so standard breakfast for Vietnam. Location couldn't have been better for food/ drinks etc. Shower/ toilet offered before our night bus after checkout. Tip- visit The View rooftop bar and go to Level 52 bar in the Bitexoco Towers.

Overall excellent choice to stay in HCMC´s backpacker district. Very clean and neat little hotel. We stayed at the 2nd location literally around the corner. All was new and well maintained. The rooms had TV, AC, fridge, WiFi and free coffee and tea. The only downside is the en-suite bathroom with a shower curtain serving as door. Still, full recommendations!

Automatic Quantum Computer Programming
A Genetic Programming Approach
Not for sale in
your country

Not Available
moreThis is a book about the frontiers of computer science that have re cently been opened by work in quantum mechanics, but it is also a book about the use of recently developed automatic programming technolo gies to explore those frontiers. The automatic programming technologies themselves issue from another interdisciplinary frontier of computer sci ence — one born of the intersection of computer science with evolution ary biology. So this is a book about two frontiers of computer science, one being used primarily for the sake of exploring the other. The selection of topics in this book was made with the intention of showing how genetic programming can be usefully applied to certain problems in quantum computing. To this end, it provides a basic intro duction to quantum computing for non-physicists and it also provides a basic introduction to genetic programming for non-computer-scientists. These treatments should be comprehensible to scientifically literate read ers who have, at minimum, a passing familiarity with undergradua- level computer science (e.g. programming concepts) and mathematics (e.g. simple linear algebra). No background in physics is assumed. less

text: Summer is the time to discover! Summer Camp plays an important part in the lives of our communities' youth as they develop towards adulthood. Children realize important life lessons and make memories each day as they learn from their surroundings and peers. Whatever interest your child has, there is a Y camp for them. Led by caring, highly trained staff, you can rest assure that your child is in a safe, nurturing environment. Welcome to our NEW Parent Portal for Lynch/van Otterloo YMCA Summer Camps. Whether your child is attending Children's Island or camp at the Lynch/van Otterloo campus (or both!), we look forward to helping them make memories that will last a lifetime! Below you will find all of the pertinent information you will need as you prepare for this upcoming summer. Please note the necessary paperwork section at the top, as the Salem Board of Health requires all of this information be filled out in full before your child can attend their first week of camp. Then, feel free to navigate our informative pages beneath that will detail all of the information for camp. Our Parent Handbooks includes policies, procedures and packing lists….be sure to give that a gander! If at any point you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact us directly at the phone numbers and/or e-mail addresses included in the Parent Packet. We'll be adding to this section as the summer draws nearer, so check-in periodically for the latest updates and happenings. We are so excited to get this summer started with your camper. We appreciate your efforts as part of this parent/staff partnership and look forward to chatting with you soon. -John, Marianne and the Lynch/van Ottleroo Camp Team Important links: Emergency Contact Information Parent Packet Children's Island Parent Handbook Lynch/van Otterloo Camps Parent Handbook Gymnastics Camp Themes Camp Staff Employment Application Theatre Camp brochure>>

Luis Garcia Pulls out of David Rivera Race, and Now Dems Have No Candidate
Rep. David Rivera is one of the most vulnerable Republican congressman in the entire country. He's under numerous criminal investigations, and his seat in District 25 is quickly seeing its Republican voter advantage fade. It could be a slam dunk for Democrats, assuming, of course, they had anyone to run.
They don't at the moment because challenger Luis Garcia has pulled out of the race over bad blood with the national party. Instead he'll run for Miami-Dade County Commission. So who's going to challenge a weakened Rivera? No one really knows. Good job, Democrats!
Garcia had been recruited quite early by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee to run for the seat, but claimed he never got the support he needed and was dissed by none other than DNC Chief Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz. He was also pissed that the DCCC was apparently trying to recruit Former Miami-Dade Mayor Alex Penelas into the race behind his back.
So, ol' Norman Braman came along and convinced him instead to run against Miami-Dade Commissioner Bruno Barreiro. Now, Garcia, the former Miami-Beach Fire Chief and state representative is out. According to Naked Politcs, Garcia may just leave the Democratic party altogether after the fiasco. Miami-Dade politics aren't party affiliated anyway.

There are still rumblings that Penelas could jump into the race, but as of last Friday, when rumors of Garcia's departure emerged, he remains unsure.
"I'm enjoying my time at home, and the thought of getting on a plane and being away from home three or four times a week..." Penelas told the Herald. "Even if Luis doesn't run, I'd still have to get on that plane Monday morning."
Good job Democratic Party! Way to go guys! You had a candidate but you pissed him off so much he's leaving the party. Your backup doesn't even want to go to D.C. Political blundering at its finest. Then again, this is the same party that basically rolled over from the start of the 2010 Senate race, and somehow managed to lose the Governor's race that same year to Rick Scott.
Perhaps they'll lean back on Joe Garcia once again. He's a good guy, but a good guy who lost in the district in 2008 and 2010. Or maybe they'll find a new, exciting, innovative way to somehow continue to fuck this race up.

In my case I don't get any errors and plugin redirects accesses to member pages correctly to login. Login URL has REQUEST variable added and looks like http://site.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fsite.com%2Fmembersite%2F. But after successful login it doesn't redirect to named site but goes to front page.
So actually it doesn't seem to be an error of this plugin and looks more like a WP problem.
