After the Russian Revolution in 1917, the Soviet Union was flooded with striking posters spreading communist propaganda. Read the rest
Whilst some may look at the decay in these places as simply reflecting the destruction of the Soviet Union and the moral bankruptcy of a flawed ideological system. In reality they will cease to exist very soon and as the memories fade, these places and the communities who once gave life will be forgotten and deserve to be recorded for posterity too. This book documents the strange interval caught between modernity and antiquity.

First things first: oh, you world travelers, for pleasure or for work, never, ever fly Baltic Airlines. First they will stiff you by making you pay sixty euros to carry regular-sized hand luggage. You will note their particular eagerness to pounce on innocent non-Baltic travellers, especially haplessYankees with credit cards.
During the flight you can expect to be charged for the air you breathe, since they don't even give free water.
Finally, god forbid if something goes wrong with your flight and ticket, for Baltic Airlines will gladly maneuver you into buying a heavily-priced new one. Fleeing home via Baltic Airlines beats prison and deportation, but not by much.
The United State won the race to put a man on the Moon. But we weren't the first to land anything on the Moon. That prize went to the Soviet Union, which successfully put Luna 2 on the surface of the Moon in 1959.
Their later missions were less successful and the USSR never made it past unmanned moon landers. Even some of those failed. Last week, NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter spotted the remains of two of these Luna missions, still sitting on the Moon. At Vice, Amy Teitel talks about the Luna program and what NASA has learned about why it failed.
Luna 23 met a similar fate. Launched on October 28, 1974, it malfunctioned halfway through its mission and ended up crashing on the surface in the Mare Crisium (the Sea of Crisis in the northwest on the Earth-facing side). The spacecraft stayed in contact with Earth after its hard landing, but it couldn't get a sample. Mission scientists expected the spacecraft had tipped over as a result of its landing, but without a way to image the moon at a high resolution, they weren't able to confirm, and the mystery endured.
It turns out they were indeed right. The whole spacecraft is still on the surface, its ascent engine never fired, and high resolution image from LRO's cameras show the spacecraft lying on its side.

Editor's Note: In response to an anonymously-sourced wisecrack we published about police corruption in former Soviet states, the Georgian Ministry of Internal Affairs responded with a statement, which we published in full. A Boing Boing reader from Georgia also asked to respond to the anonymously-sourced wisecrack, with which he takes issue. Like the wisecracker, this person requests anonymity.
The police in Georgia are definitely not fat or lazy. They are not corrupt on the street level, either. But the whole system still retains elements of corruption (in enforcement, in the judiciary, and in the legislative realm). The problem lies more in the definition of corruption: the fact that you can no longer bribe the policeman in the streets or at the sovereign borders does not mean everything is crystal-clean.
The fact that citizens are still afraid of police in Georgia as if they were monsters is still an expression of the damage of corruption. The fact that you can be imprisoned for smoking pot weeks before actually being tested by cops (because you might seem suspicious to them, not because you've been caught smoking pot) is a kind of corruption, I believe.
There is a terrible feeling of vulnerability in Georgia. Police are still used as a tool to terrorize people and make money, but these days, paying bribes to individual policemen is no longer normal.

Editor's Note: In response to an anonymously-sourced wisecrack we published about police corruption in former Soviet states, the Georgian Ministry of Internal Affairs has responded with a statement, which we are more than happy to publish in full.
Georgian Police: Model for Successful Transformation
The article published on [Boing Boing on] January 12, 2012, about the initiative by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia to introduce new portable field computers (so called "Police Pads") ends with an anonymous quote declaring that "100% guaranteed those crooked, fat, lazy cops will be using these devices primarily for porn and Russian gambling services."
Stereotypes like this are easy to toss out—but are quite simply incorrect. This quote does not reflect the productivity, effectiveness, transparency, and reliability of the police force in Georgia today, but rather the bygone era of the 1990s, a reality that has drastically changed thanks to an ambitious and successful reform process.
The reform process in Georgia began immediately after the 2003 Rose Revolution. The new government inherited a completely corrupt and bloated law-enforcement system. The systemic corruption and the high level of crime throughout the country resulted in a very low level of public trust: fewer than 10% of Georgians had confidence in the police, according to 2003 polls. And the very low average policeman's salary (approximately $68 per month) made the soliciting of bribes routine.
Georgia has since made the creation of an efficient and modern police force a national priority, undertaking a series of reforms that sought to rebuild the national police force literally from the ground up. Read the rest
It's early morning on April 26 in Kiev, Ukraine, where the Chernobyl nuclear disaster happened exactly a quarter century ago. On this day in 1986, reactor number four at the plant exploded, setting off a catastrophe that still reverberates far beyond the 30-kilometer exclusion zone.
Demonstrations are taking place throughout Europe. In Tokyo, anti-TEPCO protests mark the occasion and its parallel to the still-unfolding disaster at Fukushima. The "liquidators" who were sent in to clean up the radioactive mess at Chernobyl back in 1986 received medals Monday from Russian president Dmitry Medvedev, but controversy still surrounds the health impact of the dangerous work they performed. The so-called "sarcophagus" surrounding the disaster site in Kiev is leaking, and world leaders have pledged "to provide $780 million for the construction of a shelter designed to house the toxic remains for another century." But even if and when that new container is finally in place, the radioactive mess will remain active—and hazardous—for many thousands of years more.
Maggie pointed to this recent report from Chernobyl for PBS NewsHour by Miles O'Brien— it's embedded above in this post, and worth another view on this day. [video link, or watch on PBS.org, photo gallery].
Selective enforcement of alleged software infringement is being used with some frequency in the former Soviet republics as cover to harass independent media. Local law enforcement officials have been given broad powers, in the name of fighting piracy, to raid premises and seize hardware. For the most part, Western companies and governments have encouraged this broadening of powers--but they have not insisted on checks to ensure such powers are not misused. As a result, abuses of power are being committed in the names of those companies.Read the rest
Stan TV employees told CPJ that police were accompanied by a technical expert, Sergey Pavlovsky, who claimed to be a representative of Microsoft's Bishkek office. According to the journalists, Pavlovsky said he had authorization papers from Microsoft but was unwilling to show them. After a cursory inspection of the computers, they said, Pavlovsky declared all of the equipment to be using pirated software.

Daddy's little girl is all grown up and wants to play like the big girls do, and that means hardcore assfucking! When I see her cute butt in those jeans, it makes me wanna slide my hard cock all the way up that super tight little pooper.
The no frills ass-fucking of five young girls by unknown dudes is on display in this average production. Although the girls are very cute and have tight little buttholes to boot, not one of the scenes stands out or is memorable.
Marcie, however, does do a rather nice job of loosening up her asshole with a plastic prick before getting it stuffed with the real thing. Cover girl Lynn gets caught up in some gritty d.p. action, while Kim Jet looks positively precious when she begs for thick cock.

Re: Huge CC Debt and still need $25K more
This got even more interesting with the CC Companies changing things, perhaps due to the new regulations.
1. The 2/12 CapOne Statement showed the interest rate changed from 5.99% to 15.9%. I called and they said they had sent me a letter. I actually believe them since they mailed it to my home address instead of my correct mailing address, which is secure mail delivery at work. With the help of an understanding landlord (business building), I diverted a large amount of business cash flow to that, paying it down to $7150 by the time the next statement closed 3/12. Paying 15.9% interest does ugly things to finances and that has to go ASAP.
2. BofA did a product change on the $56K limit business account that I was trying not to use and keep for emergencies. They state that the new account will not be active until I send them requested information and the account is approved. They quoted new key derogatory information on a credit report. There is NO derogatory info on mine, new or old. I pulled up the original application and my ex.'s SSN is on there. I am assuming it is something on hers, not mine. Since that business has been losing money for 4 years, I can't imagine I would pass any review. I just finally unloaded enough overhead for that business to break even. With the last big change of eliminating some rent as of 2/28/2010, that won't show on financial reports for a few months.
I managed to get the CapOne Bus paid to $0 by the statement for 2/13. Since that now shows on my personal reports, that would have boosted my score a bit with one less account showing a balance. Unfortunately, I was distracted with the effort of moving out of the extra commercial building and didn't PIF the BMW card before statement date, so it reported $328. My score stayed the same.
I gained some time with the last minute attempts by my ex to better her position. She lied to her own attorney in a meeting and I had the documents to prove it. At least this way I can get the accounts in their best position to report and pay with a CC that has just reported $0 to the CRAs. I should have her name off the deed to my house so can look for some private money as a third or increase the amount of the second.
The big advantage to this is that I now know I have reached the bottom of the hole. Unfortunately, it is a big hole.
It looks like Prosper, etc. wouldn't be enough money to matter and would result in inquiries and a new account on my CRs.

So i am on varsity this year as a sophomore. Every player i guard and that guards me is stronger than me. The only thing i have is height and speed on them until i get stronger. I need some dribbling drills for my opposite hand. I do fine when its just half-court play but in transition on a fast break i have trouble controlling the ball in my right hand and it feels soo weird. Does anyone have some drills i could use?
Also when people say, "get down in your dribble", how low do they actually want you to be? When i get down I'm my dribble i loose balance easily and I don't move as fast. How should i get?

Lee Purdy withdraws from Carson Jones fight, Barker/Hope tops bill
Despite the disappointment, I'll still be ringside. For updates, follow @dvano1 Here's my piece:
British fight fans were left disappointed this afternoon after Lee Lights Out Purdy was forced to withdraw from Saturdays Christmas ******* show with a virus. Colchesters Purdy was due to take on former Kell Brook victim Carson Jones in an IBF International title fight which would have seen the winner in line to challenge for world honours. Thanks for all the kind messages from everyone. Im absolutely gutted that I cant fight. Hopefully get it on early next year said the hard hitting Welterweight on Twitter.
This is not the first cancellation to weaken the show. Late last week, European Lightweight champion Gavin Rees was left without an opponent for the December 8th show after Manchurian John Murray failed a medical.
While Welshmen Rees has been pulled from the card completely, it remains to be seen whether Oklahomas Jones will fight a late replacement.
The card, shown live on Sky Sports, still goes ahead, with Darren Barker (23-1) vs Kerry Hope promoted to main event.
Having lost his unbeaten record at the hands of Middleweight king Sergio Martinez in October last year, Barker has suffered a frustrating 12 months. The Barnet man was forced to undergo surgery to resolve a hip problem, and was then forced to withdraw from his comeback fight against Simone Rotolo back in September having damaged tendons in his arm while sparring.
During that time, Merthyr Tydfils Kerry Hope (18-4) has fought four times. He ended 2011 with a Majority Decision win over Tony Hill, and then shocked the world by outpointing the hard hitting Grzegorz Proksa to win the European Title in March. While Proksa avenged the loss in 8 rounds just four months later, Hopes performance in the pairs first fight makes him a live underdog going in. The Welshmen will look to close the distance and outwork Barker on the inside, but Dazzling Darren should have enough class to win unanimously on the cards.
Erick Ochieng will defend his English Light Middleweight title against Birminghams Terry Carruthers. Carruthers (14-13-6) fights just a month after being stopped in the Light Middleweight Prizefighter final against Larry Ekundayo. But it was his quarterfinal war with Peter Vaughan which secured this fight. Erick The Eagle has lost just once in his twelve fight career, and captured the vacant English 154lb crown by stopping Nick Quigley in January. Since then the Kenyan born Londoner has successfully defended his title on the big stage, boxing on the Carl Froch / Lucian Bute and Bellew / Miranda undercards, and he should win again here on the judges scorecards.
Islington prospect John Ryder faces his toughest test in the professional ranks as he tackles the unbeaten Eamonn OKane in what is likely to be an eliminator for the British Middleweight title. Southpaw Ryder is six years the younger man and has impressed audiences with his hard punching body attack which has seen him win all 12 contests (7 early). But Northern Irelands OKane (8-0) represents a significant step up in class. Back in May, King Kane battled his way through the Middleweight Prizefighter line up to claim the £32,000 cheque, and followed it up by outpointing Terry Carruthers four months later. But Ryders superb body assault and fast hands should see him win comfortably on points.
There is also place on the stacked card for the talented Bantamweight Khalid Yafai, who takes on Spanish Champion Jorge Perez. Former Olympian Yafai improved to 5-0 last time out (4 KOs) and will look to end matters early once more. The fight may be a case of blink and youll miss it with Perez having been stopped on previous three occasions.
The Evangelou brothers Chris and Andreas are also in action over six and four rounds respectively, while Martin Ward (Lightweight, 3-0), Callum Smith (Super Middleweight 1-0), Dale Evans (Welterweight, 3-0) and Cruiserweight Wadi Camacho (5-0) look to build on their early success.

Re: Lee Purdy withdraws from Carson Jones fight, Barker/Hope tops bill
good article. isn't ochieng fighting maxwell? i just don't know how sky are going to build that barker fight as a main event, it would just feel wrong IMO. not a great lot they can do now i suppose. i suppose they could just hype up the kessler fight, and the british stuff just a warm up - think that's what they will do. depending on the time kessler fights, i could be tempted to watch channel 5s stuff over it

Re: Lee Purdy withdraws from Carson Jones fight, Barker/Hope tops bill
Yeah, Erick vs Maxwell now. Currurhers was original opponent. Very disappointing, but Purdy was right to withdraw. Ironic that the whole card now depends on Barker not getting injured! But Hearn is looking for a replacement for Jones

Re: Lee Purdy withdraws from Carson Jones fight, Barker/Hope tops bill
i was disappointed when i read this when i got up. too many fights have had to be called off through injury this year. it's been a ******* curse has 2012. and it's happened to all the fights that i wanted to see.

Re: Lee Purdy withdraws from Carson Jones fight, Barker/Hope tops bill
Damn, that had FOTY potential written all over it.
Barker vs. Hope...uh...doesn't. Still not a horrible main event for a Sky card, though. We've seen worse.

Re: Lee Purdy withdraws from Carson Jones fight, Barker/Hope tops bill
The card was going to have Rees/Murray as well, wasn't it? That fight, Purdy/Jones and Barker/Hope would have been excellent. Pity it's been spoiled by injuries but it shouldn't be a bad night even so.

We're going to be migrating our Exchange environment to Office 365 but I'd like to create local backups of each mailbox before doing the final migration.
If I create a .PST backup of a mailbox will that remove those emails from our Exchange server?
It has been a long time since I did anything with .PSTs and I just don't remember. However, I want to ensure that by backing up these emails to PST it will not remove them from our server.

Traditionally one of the best ways to get a competitive mortgage is to use a broker to find the best deal. But recently many banks are cutting out the middle man and handling the mortgages in-house. Are mortgage brokers a dying breed?
"Right now, nowadays I'm working twice as hard as I used to. Making less money than I used to. Really the harder part of my job nowadays is earning that client's trust."
-Gary DelGreco, Mortgage Banker
While Gary DelGrecco is still in the lending business, he's no longer a traditional mortgage broker: someone who represents lots of lenders and helps consumers find the best deal.
What's happened to the mortgage brokers? Well some lenders have slowed or entirely stopped working through them entirely. So if you want their money, you can't go to a mortgage broker you've got to deal direct with the lender.
But that's not the only thing behind the decline of the mortgage broker.
"They have to feed their family and that's the bottom line. And when you can't help people, when there's nothing to offer them, you have to switch industries. That's the bottom line."
-Gary DelGreco, Mortgage Banker
Of course, not all lenders are refusing to work with brokers and not all brokers have bitten the dust. Their numbers are down about 33%. So there's still a viable option for many people looking to buy or refinance a loan.
"I'm the good guy. I'm trying to get this done for you. I'm out there looking out for you trying to get your situation fixed and trying to get your rate lowered. Mortgage Brokers are alive, but it's just that there's less of them around."
-Gary DelGreco, Mortgage Banker
Just be aware that brokers may be a little harder to find these days and those you do find may have fewer choices on loans. So that makes it more important than ever to shop around.

Asia Worries About Growth of China's Economic Power
By ERIK ECKHOLM with JOSEPH KAHN
Published: November 24, 2002
BEIJING, Nov. 23— Ever since 1949, when Mao Zedong proudly declared that ''the Chinese people have stood up,'' China's neighbors have waited warily for the day when its power would match its potential.
For many Asians, that moment is nearly here, with nightmares about economic domination more prominent these days than uncertainty about how China might brandish its future military might. The Japanese shudder as growth reports show China zooming upward at 8 percent while Japan's economy stagnates.
In middle-income Malaysia, officials and workers are chilled by the spread of ''for sale'' signs in the country's premier industrial zone, where high-tech foreign investors are pulling out for China.
''You look at the economic scales -- it's going to be an elephant on one side and a mouse on the other,'' said Lee Kuan Yew, Singapore's senior minister and an elder statesman of Asia who has spoken frankly of the need to accommodate China's rise.
Regardless of Beijing's efforts to soothe sensitivities, Asian neighbors sense that China's growing strength will cause traumatic shifts in power. A stronger China will undercut the pre-eminence of Japan, challenge America's role as regional overseer and rewrite Southeast Asia's economic and political course.
As they took stock of their country's status at the Communist Party Congress last week, China's leaders had reason to feel optimistic. But one of their trickiest challenges will be how to exert their economic and political clout without frightening their neighbors into hostile alliances.
Mr. Lee, for one, seems assured that Beijing's style has changed. ''The emphasis is on expanding their influence through the economy,'' he said. ''In the geopolitical sense, they're more concerned now with using diplomacy in their foreign policy, not force.''
Some of the worries of China's neighbors, especially in the economic arena, may indeed be overblown. Not so long ago, Japan was described as the next global superpower.
Apart from its determination to plant the flag on Taiwan, China is not behaving in an expansionist way, and it still must cope with poverty and other social problems. But its neighbors' fears are often visceral, rooted in historical rivalries as well as current threats to jobs and influence, and they are often expressed with a tinge of bitterness. ''Are we to become a vassal of the Chinese dynasty again?'' one Japanese official asked. ''The stronger China looks to the Japanese, the closer the security arrangement with America has to be. We have no other options.''
In the Malaysian industrial center of Penang last year, some 16,000 jobs disappeared from the high-paying electronics industry, including those of managers and engineers. ''Their companies ask them to go to China to help set up factories,'' Kenneth Stephen Perkins, a union leader, said of such skilled employees. ''When they come back to Penang, they are informed they no longer have jobs.''
The Chinese scoff at foreigners' fears, repeating that theirs is a peace-loving nation and that everyone can benefit from China's economic growth. ''China is integrated with the world now, and it sees that its chance to achieve development is through economic, not military, means,'' said Jia Qingguo, a foreign policy expert at Qinghua University in Beijing. Mr. Jia agrees with government officials who say fears often emanate from hostile elements who are out to keep China down.
China's new tactics were on full view this month at a summit meeting of Asian nations in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. China reached a deal with the 10 members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, or Asean, to prevent clashes in the disputed South China Sea. If carried out in spirit the agreement would ease tensions. Still, every country is aware that official Chinese maps still show its national boundaries overlapping territorial waters claimed by others.
China and Asean also signed a commitment to forge a free-trade area by 2010 with China as the core -- in effect, an offer by Beijing to help neighbors share in its growth. The agreement was reached more quickly than expected and left Japan a surprised and worried outsider.
Throughout Asia, a debate is raging over whether China's soaring growth is harming its neighbors. Foreign investment ''seems to be sucked in by China,'' Malaysia's prime minister, Mahathir Mohamad, said at a recent conference.
Despite all the cries of alarm, the Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore -- all Asean members -- have seen huge increases in exports to China in the past two years as China's factories absorb raw materials and parts from around the region. But there is increasing fear that China has become, almost overnight, a competitor for the sorts of medium- and high-tech industries that still power growth in its more developed neighbors, the so-called Asian tigers.
Competition for foreign investments is especially intense. China's entry into the World Trade Organization in 2001 prompted a surge in foreign investment -- it may reach a record $50 billion this year -- even as neighbors saw their totals shrink.

I love Easter because its time for me to renew and strengthen my faith. But it also reminds me to celebrate life and know tomorrow can be better than today.
Easter is a wonderful time of year. Easter is a time for miracles, a time to rejoice and a time to believe that prayers can come true.
Today is a very special time for me and my family. In observance of Easter I will not be posting news or be making comments today unless it is of major significance. I hope you can appreciate my decision.
I hope you have a wonderful, blessed Easter and have the opportunity to spend time with those friends and family you love. After all that is what is truly important.
– Just Hopin

1998 Honda Civic Coupe DX 2dr Coupe
My sister bought it a few years old with very low miles and I picked it up off of her 7 years ago with 100K. Its still going strong at 201K with regular 3k oil changes. This is a northeast car where it battles large blizzards, oppressive heat and salt. Here's what has failed and replaced in the last 100k...it was pretty much flawless for the first 100k. I beat on it a bit, lol.Exhaust system (still has orig manifold), distributor cap, radiator, rear swing arm, front brakes a few times, rear brake line, drivers side power window motor, headliner issues, few sets of tires, relay issue with blinker, rear 02 sensor, clearcoat starting to peel.Otherwise it's a great car...
I bought this car in 1998. Was my first new car. I was into the fast and furious concepts of things. The only mod I still have left on the car is air intake and the exhuast tip. I have gone through 1 window mash attempt to steal the car. They didnt steal at that time. On the side nice big scrape on the passenger door which I never fixed. Then the car was stolen and took my nice after market system with sub and amps. To say the least I was bummed. They found the car 3 days later. I had my insurace restore the car to stock has I bought brand new. I can say I have repalced several things over the pass 14 years with 145,000 miles on it ans still running great.
Gas mileage is great, The seats are comfy I am 5'11/240. I never really sat in the back. But friends haev said its comfy with alot of leg room.
Great long distance car. I took this car from Los Angeles to Vancouver Canada that was a 2 week vacation. To vegas like 5 times. To Big bear 3 times to go snowboarding.
Been to TJ ( mexico) and to Az. So all in all you cant beat a car this Honda did a swell job and gotten better since then.
My way of thinking even back then 1998 was if anything breaks. Get after market parts to replace it and thats what I have done.
Honda have done me well and I will continue to support them. Next venture I am looking at ( Honda Fit 2012).
None to think of. On my part at the time in 1998 I wish I got the ex model. But then again my Dx has been truely a nice car to have own has my first car. I will always keep the car. Even when I get a new car honda of course. My girlfriend wants to learn how to drive a stick. So I am gonna teach on the civic.
The new 2012 accord coupe WOW the design
looks so nice to look at. Honda people stay strong and true. Sad to say American cars dont hold a candle to Honda. Times change so we have to see what they have for the Hondas this days.
Test drive all cars that you can afford and make the best choice. ZOOM ZOOM
I've bought my civic last year when it had 77K miles. So far I have driven 10K miles and no problems at all. Although the car is not flashy or fast, it is very reliable and can take your from point A to point B with low gas usage. The handling is very nice and this car will look very nice with some sporty rims or a spoiler. I am planning on keeping it until I finish college, and then buying a newer civic! :)
Reliable and fun to drive.
The interior is dull.
I ran my little red 98 Honda civic dx into the ground. I was hoping it would last me until I graduated college but after almost 9 years it's time had come...a piston broke in the engine which would have been twice as much as the car. She had a long run. She went through 5 break ins, 5 stolen radios, 2 mufflers and exhaust systems, 2 windshield replacements, 2 window cranks, 2 sideview mirrors, a starter, sparkplugs and 4 accidents one being with a 10-point buck at 70 mph. Although she shook when I got her to 80, she rode right along at 120. Although the interior and exterior wasn't anything fancy, she ran long and hard through thick and thin. RIP little Honda...best car ever.
Engine ran 150,000 miles + through everything and the car parts are completely inexpensive. Fantastic gas mileage!
Higher quality parts.
This is the only car I have ever owned, and until I can save up to buy a new one with cash, it will be. This car had 72 miles on it when I got it 11 years ago, and has 236,000 today. Other than replacing the exhaust manifold and the blower motor on the air conditioner,it has only required regular maintenance. It gets good gas mileage, around 350 miles a tank. It is super reliable, and I don't think that I will ever love a car as much. If it breaks down tomorrow, it has been an excellent car!
Gas mileage, reliability.
Cup Holders. Anything larger than a can drink is liable to fall out when you make a turn.

What Do You Want to Ask Overstock's CEO?
Wall Street Journal tech editor Julia Angwin will be talking to Overstock.com CEO Patrick Byrne in an upcoming interview. We're asking Digits readers to help us brainstorm the questions.
Byrne is known as much for his campaign against "naked short-selling" as his business of selling closeout merchandise online.
Byrne purchased the predecessor company to Overstock.com in 1999 and has expanded into auctions as well as liquidations. Since then, revenues have grown to $834 million in 2008. However, the company remains unprofitable. As of Dec. 31, its accumulated deficit was $265 million.
Byrne began his controversial campaign against naked short-selling in 2005. He continues to sound the drum about the practice on the blog Deep Capture, which alleges, in part, that some in the nation's media has been captured by the institutions it covers.
Previously in Talking Tech, we've interviewed Baidu.com CEO Robin Li and Microsoft executive Stephen Elop.

TULSA, Okla. (AP) - The city of Tulsa will offer an amnesty program in an effort to collect $2.2 million in overdue parking tickets.
The city will waive all late fees and additional court costs starting Monday and continuing until April 24.
Collecting the fees would also help the city as it faces a projected $3.5 million budget deficit for the fiscal year ending June 30.
Those with overdue parking tickets can pay in person at City Hall on weekdays from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. or by mail if it's postmarked during the amnesty period.
Any vehicle with two or more outstanding parking tickets is subject to towing, and those who pay will have their vehicles removed from the tow list.

I bought this helmet because per instructions it was the only one I was confident was going to fit my large 24in head. I already had a yellow kayak so I went with yellow. When I actually went out and my friends saw it and tried it on, they were all impressed how simple it was to adjust. I have used it for climbing, kayaking, and biking so my kids got the message that it is okay to wear a helmet. Fits great, it adjusts and stays, able to use for multiple activities, cannot recommend enough. AWSOME
Everthing on this helmet is ajustable and easily ajustable. It took me about 15 min to set it the way i liked it. I also took off the ear pieces (made to come off as well) for more comfort. This is a GREAT helmet for up to class three rivers. You could do some class fours and still be OK, but I would suggest a harder outer shell for those rivers. This was **** cheeper than the local Outdoor Sports store and about **** less than ****. It was at my house the day after I placed my order!
shauld have been described as EXTRA SMALL. DO NOT ORDER UNLESS YOU HAVE A TINY HEAD.
- How accurate was the sizing? not accurate in size description
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. FAIR
- Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? YES
This is a great watersport helmet with very good protections, and very good fit. Super strong and stiff but still pretty light and comfty. I had a Protec double face helmet before and this Voz is way better! the only down side of it is that the ear protections are a bit tricky to remove if you want to use this helmet without the padded ear protection. Overall, a very nice product, great for kayak but also kiteboarding!
- How accurate was the sizing? spot on
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. very high quality, super robust and stiff
- Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? yes

While unrest continues in Turkey, new demonstrations exceeding one million are sweeping Brazil. This moment compels us to reassess existing assumptions about the relative strength and ascendance of emerging nations, most of which face fundamental demographic, socio-historical, political and economic challenges.
For the African growth story to be more than the "one-trick" resources story, its leaders have to prioritize the diversification of their economies. Natural resource extraction offers immediate benefits but this growth path is unlikely to translate into tangible improvements in the lives of most Africans.

This flag is of The U.S.A (The United States of Australia) Alternate History, What if The Eureka Rebellion had been a much larger and organized revolt similar to the American Revolution

Nice flag! Is Canberra the United States of Australia?
Unlikelly though
Unlikelly though
Reminds me of the Confederate battle flag, the Norwegian flag, and more than just a bit of the British Union Jack.
Love the design!
Nicely done! It's a good proposal for an australian flag without the Union Jack.
Love that flag.
It does remind me of the confederate flag, but I think that's why I like it so much
Thanks for the love.
Its actually quite good. If i had the time i would explore the Eureka concept as well but I'm already choc full of incomplete timelines to write.
Yay! Honey you did a great job! tytytyty

Happy June, everyone! I'm excited for the first Link Party Tuesday of this month. Did you see the graduation party ideas I shared yesterday? Do you have a graduate in your family this year? Hopefully you can get some ideas to celebrate!
We're going to get right to it today! I'm sharing some fun link ups from last week's party.
School is ending for lots of kiddos and these cute "Cool Summer" classroom treats shared by Gina of East Coast Mommy are awesome for your child to share with his friends on the last day of school.
You know I love a good party and Cheryl of Moms & Munchkins shared a fun looking beach birthday party… looks like it went great.
Last but not least, Christine of I Dig Pinterest shared this copycat Cracker Barrel Coca-Cola Cake. I have to try this one!

A doctor who signed fake medical certificates for
students has avoided jail time.
Daniel Lawrence Quistorff was sentenced today at Auckland
District Court to 300 hours' community work after being found
guilty of forgery at a trial in April.
The 33-year-old doctor signed 37 fake medical certificates
for international students who could then miss classes
without prejudicing their required attendance rate.
His lawyer Arlan Arman said Quistorff hasn't practised
medicine in three years.
"He is no doubt a good doctor but it's questionable whether
he was the wisest doctor."
Judge Nicola Mathers told Quistorff that his financial reward
was "trivial" for his offending.
"You accept entirely your stupidity."
Judge Mathers said she hoped Quistorff would be able to work
as a doctor again and continue to serve the community.
After sentencing, Quistorff said he was thankful Judge
Mathers took a compassionate view of the case.
"I regret my lapse in judgement."
"I have paid a high price for what happened and I am glad I
finally have the opportunity to move on."
He said he hoped to spend his hours of community work
treating children in South Auckland.
Quistorff was arrested at Auckland International Airport in
December 2011 as he tried to board a plane to California.
Quistorff, who moved to New Zealand from the United States 10
years ago, referred to himself as "Mr McLovin" in an old
social network profile, earned bachelor of medicine and
bachelor of surgery degrees in 2009.
He later worked as a locum at Auckland City Hospital and an
inner-city men's clinic.
The Medical Council said Quistorff's practising certificate
ended in December 2011 and he had not held a certificate

I am 11 weeks, and was told at my 9 week ultrasound that I have at least one fibroid, maybe more, and it is 7cm. I have been able to feel it since before the u/s, but a couple of days ago pain developed and was noticeable. Now its hard to miss and causes me to move slower when I get up, walk, or turn in bed. It is also tender to the touch. I have not seen my dr yet, but I am calling her today to set up an appointment. Tylenol is all I have taken, and it really does nothing for the pain. The fibroid is on my right side abdomen and the pain is just in the area where it is. I feel a little better when I lie on my right side as opposed to my left, because it feels like the fibroid is being tugged on or something when I lay on the left. It helps some when I elevate my legs also. I am wondering if the fibroid could be degenerating, or if it has grown. I did not realize they could cause sooooo much pain. I have read about some people being prescribed pain meds that help, so Im hoping I get some. Im also scared because Im not sure how long the pain will last. I have seen days and weeks from reading these posts. This is my first baby, so Im not sure what pain is normal and whats not, and all these body changes arent helping.
11 weeks, fibroids, causing sharp pain. started 2 days ago.

Hang in there! I know how painful they can be, it definitely sounds like its degenerating. I had one that degenerated with my last pregnancy and it hurt like a SOB for a couple weeks. You're doing the right thing seeing your dr! There really isn't much to worry about but unfortunately you just have to kinda ride it out :( Stay strong!
Posted 01/05/2013
Hi, I had the same feeling around week 8. I have a massive fibroid as well. For a week I was in constant pain and I couldn't move. Then after a week the pain went away. However, the fibroid did not shrink. At week 15 it had grown to twice the size and is now giving me lots of back pain. Can't do much about it other than wait and hope the pain with subside...
Hang in there!
Hang in there!

Thanks guys I ended up going to the Er because the pain was horrible. My fibroid has grown to 9 cm. Im sort of amazed that drs can tell you, just take tylenol and a hot bath. That crap does not help. The Er gave me Hydrocodone prn, and w/o I would be unable to continue working or functioning normally. They said my heart rate got up to 113 maybe due to pain, and I had a fever. This fibroid has definately decreased my stomach volume too. Making eating a task. My prayers go out to all dealing with fibroids, past and present. Because they are terrible. At my first appt my dr casually mentioned that some people have pain from them, but my goodness the pain I felt, she could have warned me about. I was scared something was wrong with baby.
