K&L Staff Recommendations
91 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The basic offering from proprietor Ramon Castano Santa, who owns a whopping 1,000 acres in Yecla, is the 2012 Hecula, which is sourced from a non-irrigated, single vineyard planted with 100% Monastrell. Aged in both tank and French oak, it comes from 60-80-year-old vines planted in limestone soils at a relatively high elevation of over 1,600 feet. Its opaque purple color is followed by copious aromas of blueberries, black raspberries, camphor, licorice, white flowers and a chalky limestone/dusty character. Full-bodied, rich and well-balanced, it is an in ...Read More »

Too soon? Not for rosé from the Southern Hemisphere, and not for this perennial staff and customer favorite at K&L. This is one of our best-selling and most-raved-about rosés every year. Hand-picked from biodynamically farmed, old Mourvèdre vines in a cool coastal sub-region of Stellenbosch, it's a fresh, elegant wine that does a fantastic impression of Bandol (which is also predominantly made from Mourvèdre), but at a fraction of the cost! Waterkloof is a stunning property working with very natural, non-interventionist methods. The wines are pure, expre... Read More »

Agnes and Henri Gaussen cultivate the vineyard of Château de la Noblesse, which has been in their family for generations. The wine is a blend of 50% Mourvedre, 25% Grenache and 25% Cinsault. The Noblesse Rosé was recently featured in the Forbes Top Twenty Rosés for the 2016 summer season: "This is about as good as it gets in Provence rosé...well almost as good as it gets, and certainly as good as it gets for the money. With its intense purity, its ripe, tangy fruit - thinking melon with a tinge of grapefruit here - and mineral-layered complexity it shows... Read More »

Agnes and Henri Gaussen cultivate the vineyard of Château de la Noblesse, which has been in their family for generations. Bandol is ground zero for wines made of Mourvèdre, and the 2010 exhibits all the dark and brooding personality you could ask of the grape. With notes of blackberry and dark chocolate, plus a firm tannic core, this is begging to be eaten with a hearty lamb stew.

An excellent value from Spain. Monastrell grapes for this wine came from 45-year-old parcels on their estate vineyards. Shallow, chalky soils on a bed of limestone and rock combine with an arid climate to produce the low yields required for wine of this complexity. After harvesting, the deep purple grapes are whole-cluster macerated for 25 days and aged for 12 months in French oak barrels. The wine possesses a very dark cherry color with purple tones. In the nose it has powerful aromas of red berries and smoky tones. The palate displays excellent fruit a... Read More »

Looking for a consistently over-achieving, full-bodied red? How about this for a track record? (all scores from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate) 2003 - 96 points; 2004 - 97 points; 2005 - 95 points; 2006 - 95 points; 2007 - 94 points, 2008 - 94 points, 2009 - 90 points. The wine is a blend of 70% old vine Monastrell and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon that was barrel-aged for 22-26 months in French and American oak. It bears Clio's hallmark opulence, with bold aromas and flavors, a thick, dense palate, and a long finish. A powerful, decadent wine.

91 points Vinous: "Bright purple. An exotically perfumed bouquet displays scents of fresh black and blue fruits, licorice, vanilla and peppery spices. Juicy and incisive on the palate, offering sweet boysenberry and cassis flavors that flesh out on the back half. Sappy and concentrated, yet quite lively, finishing with smooth, shaping tannins and a strong punch. This sexy wine went through malolactic fermentation and was aged in French oak barrels for 20 months. (JR)" (1/2016) Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The best is the 2013 Tarima Hill, which is 100% Monastrell from vines planted between 1935-1970 in ...Read More »

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 2014 Monastrell Altos de la Hoya is produced from the fruit of dry-farmed, ungrafted, old Monastrell vines and some 5% Garnacha. It fermented with indigenous yeasts in 10,000-liter stainless steel tanks and matured for six to eight months in used barriques and larger oak vats. The nose is clean and textbook Mediterranean with aromas of esparto grass, tree bark, blackberries and thyme, with perfectly integrated oak. The palate feels compact and balanced, with fine tannins and good acidity. I think this shows very well for such a challenging vintage in ...Read More »

97 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "There is no 2012 Pie Franco so I tasted the 2013 Pie Franco, the leading old-vine, ungrafted Monastrell wine from Casa Castillo. This is an indigenous wine showing the character of the place, grape and vintage quite transparently. 50% full clusters were foot trodden and fermented in cement vats and aged in used 500-liter barrels. I had the chance to taste the wine a mere week before bottling and it was showing truly superb. It reminded me of a hypothetical blend of 2010 and 2006, perhaps more elegant at this stage, with subtle earth and tree bark aromas ...Read More »

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "There is also a red unoaked 2015 Monastrell kept in cement until bottling where it underwent malolactic after fermenting in stainless steel. It's a nice ruby color, not too dark, with a nose still redolent from the reductive media where it was fermented and possibly the recent bottling. With time it developed some meaty notes not that far from what you often find in northern Rhône reds. The palate is medium-bodied with some tannins to stand up to food. (LG)" (6/2016) K&L Notes: Produced from organically cultivated Monastrell in the D.O. of Valencia, this stainless st... Read More »

92 points Wine Enthusiast: "Light black cherry, turned black loam and dried rose petals show on the nose of this straightforward and earthy bottling. Black raspberry and dark cranberry fruit consume the tart, edgy palate, with shaved licorice, sagebrush and a touch of pine needle completing the savory picture. A good lesson in fresh Mourvèdre." (8/2016) 91 points Vinous: "Opaque ruby. Pungent aromas of dark berries, lavender pastille and succulent herbs, along with building spiciness. Supple and broad on the palate, offering fresh blackberry and bitter cherry flavors and a jolt of cracked pepper. Shows ...Read More »

91-93 points Vinous: "Savory herbs, mint, new leather, smoke and tobacco form a hugely attractive tapestry of aromas and flavors in the 2012 Mourvèdre. A dark, mysterious wine, the 2012 is also quite deep, nuanced and impeccable in its balance. There is plenty of varietal character in the glass. Once again, Tablas Creek has turned out a mind-bending number of fabulous wines, from delicious entry-level whites and reds all they way up to the top selections, which remain very reasonably priced considering the quality. General Manager Jason Haas describes 2012 as a vintage with ...Read More »

La Clarine Farm makes their wines as naturally as possible while expressing the terroir of the Sierra Foothills from their estate at 2,500 feet in elevation. They are one of leaders in the new generation of young, inspired "natural" winemakers in the US working to bring viticulture and winemaking back to its roots. This Mourvedre, from grapes grown at the well-established Cedarville Vineyard, is whole cluster fermented, and aged in neutral, large puncheons. (10ppm sulfites added prior to bottling).

In 1853 Friedrich Koch planted this Mourvèdre vineyard in the heart of the Barossa Valley in the area now known as Rowland Flat. Nurtured in deep sand over a bed of limestone the vines flourished. By the 1880s the local vignerons had already acknowledged the vineyard as the Old Garden. To the end of the 19th Century, throughout the 20th Century and now into the 21st Century subsequent generations of the Koch family have tended these vines in the traditions of the Barossa: bush vines, no irrigation, hand pruned and hand harvested. Old Garden is likely to ... Read More »

97 points Wine Spectator: "This shows some noticeable maturity at first, with black tea and mulling spice notes out front, but there's a lovely spine of briary tannins and finely beaded acidity that pulls this back to a fresher side as the core of raspberry pâte de fruit slowly wakes up, throwing off additional cherry, currant and plum nuances. By the time this all knits through the finish, you realize it's just a bit too soon to open this beauty. Best from 2020 through 2035. (JM, Web-2016)" 95 points James Suckling: "I am really loving the nose here, sweet ripe fruit, raspberries and strawberries, and flower ...Read More »

99 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "We finished the tasting with the inky-purple 2012 Châteauneuf du Pape. A cellar selection by Manfred Krankl (of Sine Qua Non) of mostly Mourvedre, yet with a splash of Grenache and even some white varieties, it was aged in two new 300-liter French oak barrels before being bottled (in magnum only) unfined and unfiltered. It's a massive, masculine and structured Chateauneuf du Pape that needs to be tasted to be believed. Cassis, creamy licorice, jammy blackberry and crushed flowers are only a few of the nuances here, and it hits the palate with full-bodied ...Read More »

Meanwhile, electrical (issues/training) remains the number one issue in maintenance shops throughout the U.S. and Canada for the second year in a row, with training and staffing each jumping into the top five as turnover rates continue to grow due to retirement.
Diesel remains the top type of vehicle propulsion for many fleets, while many continue to explore the usage of alternative propulsion, including hybrid-electric, natural gas, biodiesel and propane.
When asked what questions an agency should ask when exploring the possibility of adding alternatively-propelled vehicles, the top answers were "What are the true costs associated with implementation?" "What is the actual range of the vehicles?" and "What maintenance issues did you experience?"
Agencies varied in fleet size, with the largest maintaining 2,300 buses and the smallest 26, with the mean boasting a fleet of 285 buses. Meanwhile, respondents' salary levels ranged from a high of $170,000 to a low of $65,000, with the mean earning $93,000.
To view the full story as it appeared, click here.
The incident occurred at 2 a.m., when the driver pulled up to the last stop of his shift and asked the man to leave the bus. After a physical altercation, which ended up outside the bus, ensued, the driver was stabbed multiple times.
Twenty-eight 40-foot buses will replace existing buses in the NICE fleet that have reached the end of their useful life, while five 60-foot buses will be used on the customer's new bus rapid transit line, scheduled to start service in 2017.
The ABB DC fast charger, with the associated systems, is based on the common interface, which allows charging stations and electrified buses from different manufacturers to be used together.
Will lead the end-to-end customer lifecycle as Proterra triples production and initiates large-scale deployments across North America.
The battery-operated jack can be charged overnight and used without cables. The pneumatic jack has an attached air hose to keep it working. Previously, transmission jacks were manually hand-pumped, much like a car jack.

"The Hushabye Shell Afghan is a beautiful blanket that would be a great shower gift. The pattern is an easy shell stitch and the colts are great for a boy or girl. I am sure that it will keep baby nice and warm. It is made with a nice four ply yarn and should work up fast. This one to save for a later date."
"The wavy rainbow baby blanket is one of the cutest that I have seen. The colors are so bright that a baby will enjoy looking at it. The blanket could also be worked up in other colors that would be great for that special little one. this is not for a beginner, so if this is your first try at crocheting you may not want to try it. Looking forward to working on this."
"The Springtime Lace Afghan Pattern is so cute. It will make a great baby blanket for that special baby. This could be made in many different colors that will really be pretty. The pattern reads really easy and a beginner could do this.I am looking forward to to this project in the very near future."
"he Cape Cod Afghan is really a cute pattern. It would be a great one for beginners. The pattern only calls for two skeins of yarn. The pattern reads really easy. This could also be used as a baby blanket and would look great in one of those baby colors. This is one pattern that I will definitely save for a later project down the road."

Get your little girl in on the fun of creating this Painted Tee Shirt Dress. Not only is this dress easy and fun to make, but little girls will love putting their own "touch" on their new dress!
- Plain white t-shirt
- Paint (in various colors)
- Fabric
- Lace
- Sewing machine and supplies
Before painting begins, put a sheet of cardboard inside the t-shirt to prevent paint from seeping through to the back of the t-shirt. Once the masterpiece is finished, allow to dry, then set as per manufacturer's directions. Basically, remove cardboard, cover with an old cloth and iron.
Decide how long you want the t-shirt to be: below the waist, on the waist or above the waist. Measure from the bottom hem, to keep the curve of the hem and cut the t-shirt. Measure from shoulder to calf. Take away the length of the cut t-shirt. This will be the finished length of the skirt.
Decide how many strips of fabric you want and how wide you want each to be. Add two seam allowances of 3/8" for each strip, except the bottom strip. Add a 2" hem allowance for the bottom strip. Your fabric should add up to the finished length, plus seam and hem allowances. The width of your skirt is one and a half times the width of the t-shirt.
With right sides facing, join the long sides of the top two strips of fabric, using 3/8" seam. Neaten edges with an overlocker (serger) or zig zag. Repeat for all strips of fabric. Press all seams towards the top of the skirt.
Set machine stitch slightly longer than normal. My topstitching is 2.8.
On the right side of the skirt, sew a row of stitching about 1/8" from the seam. This will hold the seam in place and gives a nice finish.
Attach lace with two rows of stitching. With right sides facing, sew side seams. Neaten edges.
Set your machine to the longest straight stitch (machine basting stitch) Do NOT backstitch. Leave the threads hanging. Sew a row of stitching 1/4" from the edge, going from one side seam to the second side seam. Sew a second row of stitching 3/8"- 4/8" from the edge, going from one side seam to the second side seam.
Mark the centre front and centre back of the skirt.
With right sides together, pin the skirt to the t-shirt at the side seams, the centre front and the centre back.
Pull the two bobbin threads and move the fabric towards the centre front.
Pull until the fabric is the same length as the t-shirt. Knot the basting threads. Even out the gathers and pin. Repeat three times pulling the threads from each side seam to the centre.
If sewing by hand: With needle and thread, sew the skirt to the t-shirt, with long stitches (hand basting stitch). Remove all pins.
If sewing by machine: Set machine to a very narrow zig zag stitch, so it is almost a straight stitch. I made the length 2.8 and the width .4. This just gives it a little stretch. Or you could use an overlocker if you have one.
Sew between the two lines of machine basting.
Remove both rows of machine basting (bobbin and upper threads) and the hand basting. Neaten the edges by overlocking (serging) or zig zag.
Sewing two lines of machine basting, makes it less likely for the thread to break as you pull the gathers and it also makes it easy to sew over the gathers so they remain neat.
Hem the bottom edge of the dress. Turn under 1/2" and either press or stitch. Turn under 1.5" and hand stitch or machine stitch.
- These were the hem allowances that suited me. Vary the measurements to achieve the length you want. You could easily turn 1/4", then 1/2" and machine sew.

images of privacy -- private images online. approximately 2.5 billion totals are uploaded to facebook each month. it is an amazing day the senate. amazing data set. i am sure you are all familiar with the ability to attack people in photographs. that came to the forefront of my mind when the president nominated me to be an ftc commissioner. i thought, what photographs are they out there of three? what do i look like in that photograph -- i thought, what photographs are out there of three -- of me?
10:10 am
facial red stick -- facial recognition technology uses data about the size of your face and your eyes. at the ftc, we like to pay attention to what new issues might be coming down the road for consumers so we might have an understanding of what some of these benefits and risks might be for consumers. we have an active policy-making function at the ftc. we did a workshop in december of 2011 on facial recognition technology. we issued a report called to be facing facts report. it recommended best practices for companies that use facial recognition technology. we had the workshop and we received a number of comments
10:11 am
and we issued this report setting up best practices. the reports is not intended to serve as a template for law enforcement or act as regulation for current law, but as a way to explore current issues. a lot of this was based on our march 2012 report protecting consumer privacy in an era of graphic change. we called upon companies to implement privacy by design and to provide consumers with simplified choices to increase transparency by providing clearer, joyner, and more standardized privacy analysis. -- shorter and more standardized privacy notices. i wanted to give you the
10:12 am
contents of a preview of what of the technology issues are and some of being thought c-f-t-c is bringing to bear in this area. i have not -- some of these thoughts the ftc is bringing to bear in this area. later, we will take audience questions. during the rest of this panel in. we have a great group. it is one of those days. some of us did have a guinness last night. and have the council with congresswoman lofgren. i want to start out talking with the -- about the ftc report.
10:13 am
there are a few lines in the report that speaks directly to what consumers do and do not know. consumers likely do not expect science to detect their age and gender and targeted to them at a certain time. they may not expect some of those photographs are stored by social networks. with that in mind, give us your perspective on facial recognition privacy. what do you see are the issues at play? >> we got a face prince of all of you coming in and we will need a dna sample on the way out. we always start out on these discussion with the quote from the minority report movie the
10:14 am
problem was not that the technology could identify the individual, but that it came in through the door. there are fourth amendment concerns that matter with respect to biometrics. face cameras remain a big debate. the private sector is capable of making new security guarantees and privacy guarantees. we have this unfortunate guarantee of being in a homeland security culture. we will talk about this as a yield on the line. there was a wall street journal piece about the federal government. in national id card comes up
10:15 am
occasionally in these debates. potentially compulsory is the cameras out in public. public them of using technology biom informationetri collectionc is taking place. the information collection against a targeted individual should always be in the database and the camera may be looking for a match. you asked about expectation. consumers do not expect they are being put in databases and track where the ago. those questions about the fourth amendment and that -- protecting us in our homes. it should also protect us in other places. the private sector can make you those security guarantees. in a homeland security culture, the horse is already out of the barn. if companies want to keep their databases private, would they be
10:16 am
required to share that with the federal government. here is the new national tourism information center. i have a lot of faith in the potential of technology to do good things. when we learn compulsorily with voluntary, we run into problems. >> there is a tendency to fall prey to moral panic. people forget that the issues are not entirely new. facial recognition is photography plus math. that is not the end of the story. what we are really talking about its identification plus
10:17 am
abuse. there are two steps. the first two steps are free speech. i believe in an open and transparent society. i think it is a good thing that people who wanted to live in and out in world for scott of the loss -- before photography lost. it is part of the understanding of facts around us. it is about how we understand the world. it is an opportunity for us to protect consumers. it is on the step that comes after that. it is on the uses of information. we have been talking about the uses by government. it is not just a national security world.
10:18 am
it is also law enforcement. national security uses can harm individual users. it does not deal issues. government should be required to get a warrant before it correlates two different databases. this happened in britain when they started to correlate the data base of driver's license photos with images taken from closed-circuit televisions. that is what the fourth amendment comes into play. there are standards of evidence. if you are in one of those riots in britain, you might have on your cell phone charts in courts because you looked like somebody who was throwing a brick through a window. maybe congress has a role. i am concerned about the other set of uses that were alluded
10:19 am
to, uses by the private sector. consumers are uncomfortable with this technology. they do not expect it is being used. it is different from saying we have to do something about this technology because it can harm people the federal trade commission rightly protect consumers against deception and unfair practices. if we stick to that basic framework, we can deal with harmful uses of facial recognition without trying to restrict the underlying photography and math that i think we should that happen freely. we should protect consumers from uses of their information to contact them for credit purposes.
10:20 am
we have a rich body of law. we also have property law. we have ways of dealing with .roblems like intrusions making sure companies do not place cameras in sensitive places. i would refer all of you to the professor at arizona state law school. she has done good work on free speech and privacy. , but also more recently on the torch of confusion. she offers arguments about why having a camera to facial recognition in a bath in is a problem. we can develop a new and exciting technology and not fall
10:21 am
prey to a moral panic that comes up in privacy. >> talk about consumer expectations going back to the report that consumers thought was being collected. >> i wanted to talk about 70% of the thick and -- facial recognition market where people are actually affirmatively identified and then matched. 70% of that is government and law enforcement. this is a worldwide said the best worldwide systems. the number of investment is approximately $6 billion. you may be able to advance that number a little bit. that is for u.s. dollars in 2012. in 2014, the number is expected
10:22 am
to rise to $9 billion. the technology is moving to private retail for shoplifting prevention purposes. this is an important starting place. the first rule is you must tailor the biometric to the place you are working in. how it is being deployed changes how you can and that technology. i will give you a couple of examples. one example would be in kenya
10:23 am
where biometric kit sans to create -- kits were sent to advance an international identity card. it was semi voluntary. he knew the to the you can and because of the protection of freedom act, they had their first surveillance commission and who came out this last fall and said, i am former police officer. absolutely no one expects this technology to be working the way it is. when we walked into wall grains
10:24 am
or cvs -- walgreen's or cvs -- if you at other nations in asia, it gets higher, especially in china. we need to be careful of the government louis. the technology developed by the government to the open market. this happens in the u.s. in an orderly way with a lot of rights. in other parts of the world, it is not moving in such a nice
10:25 am
way. this is one of our great concern with facial recognition technology. because of the way the internet works, the free-form commercial uses are the way back into the u.s. through technology that is simply worldwide at this point. that is a concern. he on the king is consumer expectation of privacy. i have come to the -- the other thing is consumer expectation of privacy. if we base things on what consumers expect, we will have won a 1 million consumer privacy laws. in the area of facial recognition, consumers cannot expect what is happening right now. i do not know it is possible to educate millions of millions of consumers as would need to be
10:26 am
educated to actually have this be meaningful. we are going to have to look hard at collection and use and all of the different things we have to talk about regarding information practices in order to see with the middle ground is here. there is a whole lot of bell curve in the area of policy making. there is the currency side with people have a thick use 9-a teacher lithosphere of the technology -- people have a diffuse, non-articulate fear of technology. we are not going to be able to stop the deployment of this technology. the question is, what is the next step. >> you worked pretty extensively
10:27 am
on facial recognition best practices, something the organization has been talking about for a while now. about that as you sketch out the perspective. >> i do not want to represent the hill perspective. i need to stress that anything i say on the panel should be considered my personal opinion and thoughts, not the congresswoman for him i work. the current technology is quite sophisticated. it is entirely possible to set up using low-cost technology a network that can identify large numbers of people and track them as they go from place to place. he can search for information including their names, shopper profiles. he same facial recognition systems using a existing technologies can use things not
10:28 am
associated with your facial geometry. . there are some more cutting edge ones that are already operational that can pick up on your emotional state that with the are anxious or happy. some can pick up on your health space and can measure the blood level on your face to determine your blood pressure, your blood oxygen levels. the privacy implications are massive and consumers will want to be notified and have a choice as to whether or not they are being included in these systems. my impression is that many of the business is currently using technologies like this are giving them this choice. it is challenging by the very nature of the technology.
10:29 am
any official recognition discussion that fails to include this is incomplete and is doomed to irrelevancy in a matter of years. renovation will need to be harmonized with our report and write -- our important rights. that is a challenging privacy issues with regard to privacy today. we worked independently onsets of regulatory -- self regulatory guidelines for businesses. they are quite consistent. our recognition of the best recommendation was that you would need an individual in more than one place. you let consumers know it is happening. it is not the best solution,, but it is the only solution that
10:30 am
is out there right now it is privacy by walking away. there are offline retail settings. there is not that much data out there we urge businesses to respect the privacy of individuals.
10:31 am
i have seen no literature doesn't just a good way to do that. >> i want to make sure we have time. give us your perspective and a little bit about what you do. we are one of the leaders in facial recognition. the technology has really improved over the last 15 years. our customers are primarily government. we do have commercial customers. it is largely forensic. these days, it is where all of the investment is going to. identify the bank robber from the photograph. for the forensic context, just as there is in the automated fingerprint systems that we see on tv, the with actually were is that you often get a selection
10:32 am
of possibilities and then there is a human element to arrive at a decision. he him and feel better at recognizing these patterns. there is a process in the law enforcement area that i am uncomfortable. i would like to add another technology to this panel. iris and face go together. cameras are getting better and better. you can film movies on an slr.
10:33 am
there may be a message here that the company said the lawyers. we are keen on having the rules because it is in our interest not to have this technology become anathema to our customers. we want to continue to profit. the rules in place can work. one example is something we are all aware of, wiretapping. here is the fourth amendment and here is the process that the d.o.j. where i once worked that restrict that activity here it is also restricted by private citizens. if you not follow the rules, you can find yourself in a situation like news corp.. anyone can learn how to wire tap
10:34 am
someone else's phone with a short tutorial. you have to have the rules to govern contact. >> we expect a wide capability. thus the ftc have the legal tools needed in this space. the larger question does ryan. does the ftc have the tools it needs and how does it use those tools. >> the basic tools we have allows us to read the section and on fairness. the deception is clear. if you make a promise, we are going to take this data of human and use it for these
10:35 am
purposes. that is a pretty clear deception. we have brought a lot of cases for failure to secure data sufficiently and take reasonable precautions. if a company collects a whole database of people's faces and does not secure that well and it gets access and abuse, we can say, there is consumer harm. you did not meet a promise. we define carefully what types of firms are unfair. they have to be substantial. it cannot be spent to the test. they particularly involve financial health, safety, medical information about
10:36 am
children and intrusions into the home. when you start to think abbas a lot of these issues that provides a pretty good framework. we brought a case last fall against a company called designer wear. they worked which led to a own computers that had its programs -- had a program that could turn on the camera and take pictures of what was happening around them and send it back to the rent to own store. we challenge that under the section and unfairness. some of the screen shot was financial data and some of and was people's private activity in the bedrooms being captured and sent back. we thought that already met our standard of what is unfair. i like to be sure we is using
10:37 am
it the way we need it. it gives us a lot of flexibility to address some of these. >> that is a question i want to pose to you. is section 5 authority enough or are there holes? does their need to be something that takes it a step further to get a lot that we see in the states like illinois that spelled out what you can and cannot do with facial recognition technology. >> i have no doubt that the commissioner thinks carefully about these things and is prudent about how far it can properly be stretched. i cannot say the same for the majority on the commission. the ftc before she got there has clearly been changing its fundamental role. is chairman and the folks running the bureau of consumer protection think of the
10:38 am
commission as the nation's largest public interest law firm. they have been pushing the boundaries of the law in two ways. stretching the boundaries of unfairness and putting out a series of reports and otherwise using what was called agency threats. they have continued to pressure companies to do things that are normally voluntary. i am deeply concerned about where the agency is going with their authority. unfair this is the right standard in dealing with these basic problems. it will be stressed too fire and the agency is making non-law law in the process of putting out these reports and issuing these recent decrees and settling cases that never go before the courts. i will close by saying we finally have pending litigation
10:39 am
that may actually resolve some of these questions. it was referred to the commission a series of data security cases. that is clearly the heart of the facial recognition courts. hotels have challenge to that argument that the commission has failed to establish that those practices are unfair. if it comes out in the way that it might, that could shake the foundations of the f.t.c. law in this area. i am and not against legislation. it may be that we do not want to stretch section 5 too 5. >> i want to change the question a little bit. we are talking about what happens when companies screw up entirely.
10:40 am
what happens when companies are collecting the information or when they store that information is the notice and consent regime efficient enough is that where congress needs to get involved >> -- involved? >> facial recognition technology where you are actually can be a person and identify them and using that for some purpose with the law starts to come in is forced notice. this is in adequate at this point in this country. discrimination is a better tool.
10:41 am
the equal opportunity act is for this sort of thing. if someone is being offered a higher price or a less favorable terms on the basis of special recognition in a commercial setting, that is a problem. there are also law-enforcement government issues. there is one competition factor here is the new released regulations. copa now includes photographs of children. we do not know how children are being captured and identified in this country. in japan, is already being done.
10:42 am
i do not think it is being done here yet. if that ever happens, there will be a real problem that would be clear a kid walks into a store and the tax -- it is detected that this is a kid and changes on ghana and our marketing because there is a child under the age of 13 there. this is a case challenging -- this is a challenging proposition on many levels. i think it has become a real issue. where are the real harm is here. the real harm has to be marketed. we need to find out what is really improper use of this data and with the real risk is so we do not put our attention on places where the real harm is not. we need a lot more work to a
10:43 am
identify the substance of firms. >> your original question. i do not think the ftc act is sufficient. i would like to see baseline consumer privacy legislation. this is not just about the harms that facial recognition can cause. harm at the ftc -- nor is it was a the spiders are coming in under your door. i tried to sketch out the capability of the technology went into the train when we can identify people and pick up on their emotional states and the health information consumers will want to have a choice on whether they participate in this. it wants to know whether or not they participate in this. their participation may not result in a harm. the privacy impact is massive. this can completely change the
10:44 am
dynamic of privacy in public. unless there are rules and look beyond the home, consumers will have no choice. this system can be out there and customers will be in it and they cannot get out. the dynamic of privacy in public will be completely different. there is a rule for government in setting some limits and articulating some of the boundaries for the use of technology like that. >> just briefly, i appreciate where he is coming from. keep in mind that privacy is a competitive features. that is one of the reasons why you mentioned you do not see a lot of abuses yet. there is not self regulation. nobody has that luxury. if you are operating in the technology space, you are not operating alone. you have upstream customers and downstream customers. there are a lot of sources
10:45 am
against any company in the economy. i am not at the point where i think marketing cows as a harm except with respect to children -- counts as a harm except with respect to children. do not look at the chicken when there is a key reps coming up. i am concerned about the collection -- when there is a tyrannosaurus rex coming up. how do we wall it off? we have to build up those claims. >> i want to talk about self regulation. we have about five minutes. >> the answer is targeted legislation focusing on usage. conceptually, we are talking about competition. what if stores and places u.n. in the business world simply use structured data -- what if stores and places you went in
10:46 am
the world used simply structured data? that is the kind of technological change that would enable the kind of competition on privacy we need to talk about. focusing on usage in focusing on proving -- improving transparency. >> let's talk about self regulation. facial recognition with respect to digital is one of those things. do we think self regulatory efforts have worked? having fallen by the wayside. we have the little code of conduct. we have the little blue icon. when we are talking about facial recognition and digital science, is that form of notice effective temple what needs to be done to strengthen that sex -- self-regulatory regime.
10:47 am
>> we mentioned several self- regulatory programs. if a company says we adhere to these guidelines and they do not, that is a cut and dried case. the ftc can provide backup in that area. as to whether the companies are complying and whether there is a big problem, a lot of this is in the early stages. >> i am it really proud of the work we did on our self- regulatory regime. we were just talking. in 2010 we read in las vegas announcing those. we were on the same panel in the same -- in 2010, we were in las
10:48 am
vegas announcing those. sulfur realization -- self regulation has an an important piece. one of the big issues i have right now with the with the digital signs have been put into effect is said we are having trouble on the notice front. notice is a measure of fairness in the privacy. it is kind of koo koo. who cares about notice. i care about not just a lot. is it not like the walkout or out cows. i watched it on a regular basis.
10:49 am
the-i did not like to walk out or the out out. -- i do not like he walked out or the opt out. it is going to be employed and how we noticed the ubiquitous census. we are not doing well on the notice front. >> there is not a lot of data on whether or not the self regulatory guidelines are being followed in full. at least the digital sign federation have issued a seal of compliance that some companies are using. some companies have a stress that they are in full compliance of the privacy guidelines. it is extremely encourages -- encouraging that companies want to get on board with the

Cullen Law
We have a real understanding of the importance of relationships between employers and unions in New Zealand. There are strict laws prescribing employers' responsibilities in relation to collective bargaining. In particular it is important for employers to operate in accordance with the principles of good faith which underpin the Employment Relations Act 2000. For example, employers and unions must conclude a collective agreement unless there is a genuine reason based on reasonable grounds not to do so. We provide: Advice about the correct procedures for collective bargaining Advice about single party and multi-party bargaining Advice about what must be in a collective agreement Mediation services during the negotiation process Advice about the requirements to be fulfilled by the employer after an agreement has been ratified

We offer support with regard to determining what types of legal employment arrangements might apply to certain employees based upon their hours of work and responsibilities.
How to apply the law in particular around casual employment can sometimes be difficult.
An HR Audit by Cullen involves us partnering with you to bring policy and practice into alignment with current employment legislation and with the overall direction your business or agency is taking.
We are able to conduct an HR audit for your business or agency to ensure that effective, legally sound practices and procedures are in place for you as an employer to run at optimum efficiency.
In this situation we are able to assist and still ensure that the employer is fulfilling their duties as the party ultimately responsible for the investigation.
Often the need for an independent investigation arises when an employer does not have the time or expertise to devote to an investigation themselves.
We can conduct independent investigations into issues ranging from harassment allegations to other types of employment disputes.
We have a wealth of experience in addressing situations involving misconduct and serious misconduct and will sit down with you to work out the most effective and legally sound way of dealing with disciplinary matters, including how to commence proceedings and how to resolve them.
Consultation is of particular importance and it is important to note that some employees may have different employment protections in restructuring/redundancy situations than others.
We have the expertise to assist in management of change processes, advise on the law pertaining to them, and provide support for any problems which might arise.

AUSTIN, Texas — Capital Metropolitan Transportation Authority board members voted unanimously to outsource all bus routes to a private company, statesman.com reported. A Texas Transportation Institute analysis found that the agency could save $71 million by 2020 and almost $230 million by 2032 by outsourcing all of its service, a study that assumed lower pay by private contractors.The decision will affect about 810 union workers and could spark official complaints to federal regulators that could threaten $50 million in federal grants. For the full story, click here.
The incident occurred at 2 a.m., when the driver pulled up to the last stop of his shift and asked the man to leave the bus. After a physical altercation, which ended up outside the bus, ensued, the driver was stabbed multiple times.
Twenty-eight 40-foot buses will replace existing buses in the NICE fleet that have reached the end of their useful life, while five 60-foot buses will be used on the customer's new bus rapid transit line, scheduled to start service in 2017.
The ABB DC fast charger, with the associated systems, is based on the common interface, which allows charging stations and electrified buses from different manufacturers to be used together.
Will lead the end-to-end customer lifecycle as Proterra triples production and initiates large-scale deployments across North America.

A man of his word, "Last Week Tonight" host John Oliver made good on his promise to drink a Bud Light Lime if Budweiser and other brands withdrew their support to pressure Sepp Blatter into quitting as FIFA president.
And while it wasn't clear if sponsors had anything to do with the embattled Blatter announcing his resignation on Tuesday, the comedian wasn't about to let details get in the way. He downed one of the drinks anyway during Sunday's show.
Given his opinion of the summery brew, it must have taken some effort to actually imbibe and call it "delicious," as it was also part of the pledge he made on his May 31 show. (He also vowed to eat every item on the McDonald's Dollar Menu and wear an "ugly" pair of Adidas shoes.)
But before putting the beer bottle to his lips, Oliver clarified that it tastes like "Jolly Green Giant's ejaculate" and "a lime Jolly Rancher fished out of Mickey Rourke's mouth." Bottoms up?

First thing's first, I do have a British accent, and yes I love watching Arsenal football. I'm excited to be a senior this year at Cathedral, and I'm over the moon to be part of the El Cid team. I transferred here from England last year, you know the place where they eat a lot of fish and chips. If you've heard me speak before, I'm pretty sure that you'll know who the 'English girl' is. I love to write and have multiple work published, ranging from short stories to poetry. Aside from writing you'll find me anywhere from a soccer field to a tennis court. I look forward to writing as a journalist for the first time and working with my fellow classmates. Let's have a great year full of reading and writing– I promise it will be interesting.

Great hike but a little isolated no one on the trail but me.

Wayde and I took Bear Canyon Trail and crossed over to Sabino Canyon parking lot - a 17 mile trek. Stunning but very difficult.
This is a wonderful trail. The first part is very popular with 7 falls as the destination. Up to the falls (about 4mi in) is fairly flat and easy, though it is a little tricky to find the trail when it crosses the (usually dry) stream. If you are going in the summer monsoon season this trail and the falls can be deadly! There have been several deaths and last summer some folks had to spend the night until the water receded the next morning. Don't do it.
If you keep going past the falls (detour the side trail to the falls) the elevation increases rapidly to get around the falls into the upper canyon. The second photo of mine (with the straw colored grass) is looking down at the falls and the trail up to the upper canyon. The other photo I posted is looking up the upper canyon. This is lightly traveled and beautiful!

Toulon, 1793 by Robert Forczyk
Book DescriptionIn August 1793, revolutionary France was in a precarious position, surrounded by enemies. In Toulon, a coup had handed over the entire French fleet to the British navy. For France to survive, Toulon had to be retaken, and France's saviour materialised in the shape of Napoleon Bonaparte. He organised guns and batteries to bombard the Allied fleet and on 17 December 1793, when the French attacked, he was able to take one of the key Allied positions. This book describes the eventual French victory at Toulon which saved the Revolution and promoted the young Napoleon Bonaparte, beginning his meteoric rise to power and catalysing the effect on Europe during the rest of the nineteenth century.

What if I told you there is technology coming available today that can increase customer engagement, revenue and customer LTV by an order of magnitude? Pretty interesting? Read on.
Have you heard of Google Glass? It's a type of augmented reality/vision application that I believe can do just that.
We all know that web analytics has given us the power to optimize web pages and sites around behaviors leading to conversion events, either small or large. One page to the next; one form field to the following, and then on to purchase and checkout. We know how social and mobile analytics has allowed us to gamify social and mobile and to encourage user engagement based conversion events like shares, Likes, leaderboard scores, purchases and points. We know about the success of game companies like Zynga, in analyzing behavior to monetize games.
Today, with a new generation of AR apps, we can capture what the user is seeing and subsequently their behaviors, through the lenses of Google Glass or your smartphone camera. We can then optimize their engagement, as we do in games.
Like Alice Through The Looking Glass, we become visitors navigating through the real AR world, which is not unlike charting visitor conversion paths in a website from the home page to the checkout confirmation page. The basic idea of augmented reality is to superimpose graphics, audio and other sensory enhancements over a real-world environment in real-time.
Since we can capture so much AR data from the cameras in our phones, I've begun to think about how we view the real world through our mobile device screens. From an analytics perspective, I believe it's similar to the way we view a web page as a visitor on a computer screen. The biggest difference is that since the viewer is in a mobile app (assuming they opt in) they are giving us significantly more information.
I've concentrated on understanding how vision actions/metrics and behaviors captured by the lenses can be coupled with conversion metrics from the app to increase engagement. Ultimately, we need to understand how it affects customer LTV, another form of convergence analytics we've been writing about.
We need to be able to optimize the experience like we optimize a website experience.
Retailers are beginning to ask customers (through a physical sign or display) to look at and engage with this product, display or sign, then capture and share a picture of the item on your social media.
We tell them that if they share the picture at checkout, they'll get 10 percent discount. Do it again at another time and get 20 percent off. More Facebook Likes, bigger discounts and more badges. We may ask them if they want to visit the website for more information, buy it now or perhaps watch the new episode featuring the product on their favorite Hulu show.
Today, big data driven analytics, coupled with augmented reality applications and key metrics, gives us the ability to create "analytics for the real world." There are many companies besides Google leading the charge in AR and vision applications.
But AR is not just for the biggest technology companies, as other small companies, like Metaio and ARPA Solutions, are entering the fray and producing stunning products and software that can recognize objects, people, and colors.
Combine those capabilities with user profile information and the many other phone signals (like GPS) and you have built a very powerful solution for effective marketing.

Over at the New Humanist, Tom Rees has posted a nice article asking "Who Needs God?" and "Why is religion on the rise in so many countries?" The frame for Rees' commentary is modernization theory, which claimed that as countries developed and became more "modern," religion would decline and people would become more secular.
As Rees notes and as the sociologist Rodney Stark demonstrated in his classic article, "Secularization, R.I.P.," this has not happened. Indeed, it appears that modernization has had the opposite effect and made people more religious.
This certainly appears to be the case in the United States, where belief in God is thriving. Yesterday's USA Today reported that a Gallup poll of 1,000 Americans (margin of error +/- 4%) found that an astonishing 92% of Americans believe in God and 83% believe that this God answers prayers.
The United States has always been a religious outlier compared to other developed countries, and history partially explains the intense spiritualism of Americans. An open and competitive religious marketplace also contributes to high levels of belief in the US. Another factor contributing to such high rates of belief is that the US is the leading consumer-capitalist society in the world. Constant work and consumption can lead to an inner emptiness which drives spiritualism. Finally, America's infatuation with individualism leads to social isolation which further contributes to religiosity.
In Rees' article, however, he notes there are additional factors — intrinsic to the human mind — which drive religiosity:
A new field, the "cognitive science of religion," has brought together a broad group of scientists in an attempt to identify the psychological, neural, and even evolutionary roots of religious belief. There have already been some remarkable discoveries. For example, it turns out that although irrational beliefs are part of human nature, whether or not people succumb to them depends on how threatened they feel. If you remind people of death, then they react by rejecting other cultures and clinging to their own conservative beliefs. If you make people feel lonely, then they start thinking that household gadgets have got personalities. And if you threaten their sense of control, then they start seeing things that aren't there.
Supernatural thinking, in other words, is deeply rooted in normal operations of the mind. These operations are always embedded in affects or emotions, which further drive supernatural thinking.
Rees thus notes that fear — one of the most powerful human emotions that is highly adaptive in an evolutionary sense — plays a major role in religiosity. This is an old idea — going back to Sigmund Freud and Paul Radin last century and philosophers such as Hume and Nietzsche in earlier centuries. Surely fear — and its opposite, consolation — plays a role in promoting and sustaining religion.
A nice example of this can be found in a recent article by the scientist Karl Giberson, who admits that "[b]elief in eternal life, though, is hard for me. My mind has been largely taken over by science and has trouble getting itself around ideas so far outside the normal course of events. But I still believe." Why does Giberson still believe?
Giberson's mother recently died, and he simply cannot endure the idea that she is not in heaven and he will not see her again: "My belief in God grounds a hope that I might one day see the wonderful woman in that coffin again. This hope does seem magical to me, but it's not superstitious. Standing at my mother's graveside with that hope seems so much richer than standing there without it."
While Freud was wrong about many things, and psychoanalysis is largely non-empirical, there seems little doubt that fear and wish fulfillment play major roles in sustaining religious beliefs.

Jul 22, 2014 Miri Mandel rated it it was amazing · review of another edition
I like this book because I looooooove horses and ponies, they're my favorite animal. It even says in the book that the white patch by it's hoof is called a sock.
It teaches you how to ride and what to wear when you're riding, to be safe and I also really wanted to ride a pony or a horse and I saw a lot of horses and I hear some by the stable near our house.
