I enjoy the coffee very much, both at home and "on the road". Easy to use and easy to bring along on a journy, I live in Denmark and cannot buy the coffee here. Therefore I am very happy that iHerb bring the coffee directly to my doorstep for a reasonable shipping price. Best regards

Recent Tutoring Session Reviews
"This session focused on an intensive introduction to the Java Swing environment. I introduced the following details to him: Layout managers (grid, flow, and border), button use and event handling, sliders, labels, and general design for GUI programming. This was all done for a rather difficult assignment that he has. He knows what he must work on to solidify our topics from today. Following this, he will work on his assignment and bring that to our next session."
"We worked on the tic-tac-toe game. We implemented the new code from last week that allowed the computer to be "smarter" and try to win. Then we added the code to block the opponent."
"I thought this session went wonderfully! The student worked on stepping through her assignment and I elaborated on some concepts I could tell she was unsure of. I explained why we set variables to 0 in our declarations and tried to translate what was happening in x+b to swift, so that she could understand both. I explained how to obtain input from the user or how to output it to the screen, how if else if and else statements worked and how their precedence came into play, and she worked all the way through her assignment. I made sure she understood everything I was saying and we spent a bit more time on the outputting of variables. Great session! I feel like I was truly able to help her and I feel very fit for getting her through this class."

The prominent top management
CAT (Common Admission Test) is:
It is one of the prominent top management entrance tests which is administered by the Indian institutes of Management (IIMs) for admission in the tow year full time Post Graduate Programs in Management in India.
The objective of CAT:
The exam is not about testing intelligence. It aims on judging the attitude for doing well a course which one is willing to join. The test also determines one's general scholastic ability.
It is an aptitude test which aims at judging 'managerial abilities' by asking question based on Mathematics and English.
The concept of CAT:
The concept of the test is tackling questions based on the syllabus of 10th grade Mathematics and English. These subjects can be divided into varying areas namely like Quantitative Ability, Verbal Ability, Verbal Reasoning, Logical Reasoning, Date Sufficiency, Date Interpretation and Reading Comprehension.
One finds all the areas clearly demarcated into sections and with varying composition of sections each year.
Eligibility to Take the Test:
To appear for the CAT, you must be having a Bachelor's degree in any discipline generally with at least 50% in aggregate from a recognized university in India and 45% in case of SC/ST/DA (Differently Able) categories.
Candidates awaiting their final year's result are also eligible for appearing in the test. Tot count your percentage, you should enter the aggregate percentage of the semesters you have completed till the date.
Candidates with CGPA instead of percentage:
The percentage equivalent is based on the equivalence certified by the university or institute from where you have obtained your Bachelor's degree.
Candidates with less than 50% in Graduation:
If you do not have 50% in aggregate at graduation level, then you should try other exams such as XAT, MH-CET, IIFT and other regional tests. Also, look for instituted conducting specified tests according to your relative performance so far.
Age Restriction for appearing in CAT:
There is not any restriction on age limit for appearing for the test.
Minimum score required to clear the test:
In CAT, you do not come across anything like fixed minimum score to clear the test successfully. It is because the score cut-off is different every year since it is relative scoring.
Clearing each section is important:
It is mandatory to clear each section separately and cover the areas being tested well.
Minimum cut-off for each section:
Again, the cut off for each section in the test varies each year, so there is no known minimum cut-off. But considering the test for last several years, one must try to attempt at least 70% of questions given with 80% accurate to clear the test successfully.
Also, the cut-off for each section is different within a test.
Institutes other than IIMs which accept CAT scores:
There are number of institutes which accept CAT scores as a ticket to admission. Undoubtedly, one can find good and reputed institutes for taking course of their choice. There are around more than 100 institutes across India that accept CAT scores. You can find the list of these institutes on CAT bulletin.
The time of CAT:
The test is often conducted on the third Sunday of November month every year.
The time to apply for Cat:
The notification for the test is usually released after mid July every year in al the leading newspapers of the country. The time can also be known from the website of IIM after the notification is appeared in the newspapers.
What after the advertisement for CAT:
After the notification for CAT, aspiring candidate can buy a voucher from the designated bank branches and thereafter, need to register online for the test.
The purchasing of a voucher:
To buy a voucher, you need to fill pay-in-slip at the designated bank. You will find two copies of pay-in-slip. One copy will be retained by the bank and other will be returned to your after stamped.
You must retain the copy of pay-in-slip throughout the selection process. Make sure that the name on pay-in-slip is matched with the name appearing in the school-leaving certificate.
Issuing of admit card:
Just after applying for the exam online, you get an automated confirmation mail containing your Candidate Profile at the email mentioned by you.
Once you have provided your personal information, you are supposed to continue registration by scheduling the date, time and venue of the test. After the submission of scheduling information, you will receive another automated confirmation email containing your CAT Admit Card. At this stage, your registration process is complete.
Details on Admit Card:
The CAT admit card will contain the name o the candidate, date, time and venue for the test, confirmation number, registration number and instructions for the candidate.
Different time slots for planning the test for a typical test day:
A typical test day comprises two exam sessions. You will be allowed to schedule any one of the sessions but it is subjected to availability.
Number of times one can appear for CAT:
You cannot appear for the test more than once. If it is so, it will be deemed as a fraudulent activity.
In case of committing mistake while registering for the exam:
If you have made any mistake while registering for the exam, you can make changes to your personal date and application within a specified time limit only which can be noted on the registration page.
Time you need to spend in CAT preparation:
As per IIMs, one should try to prepare for the test six months in advance. You need to follow a planned study timings rigorously. You must study at least 2 hours in a day. More is always better but put emphasis on quality over quantity.
CAT interview:
Interview is a personality test. At this stage, panel judges one's discipline, self-awareness or in other words, one's all round personality.
Group Discussion (GD):
By 'group discussion', the institutes measure one's ability to function as a team. Here, a group is given topic or situation. They are given few minute time to think over and then discuss the topic among themselves for abut 15 to 20 minutes.
Declaration of Score:
CAT scores are declared mostly after 2-3 months of the test day.

From: Php 1,093,000 – 1,515,000
Research the Peugeot 301 by viewing specs, colors, prices and comparing against other models. Once you have made your decision contact your local dealer for a quote.
Peugeot Philippines slated the 301 as their subcompact sedan contender and their way of giving car buyers a taste of what they can offer as a French carmaker. It targets those who're looking for something a bit more stylish on the road while at the same time offering value-for-money features.
The company began their journey in 1810 when their corn mill was converted to a steel mill at the height of the industrial revolution. They initially produced wood-and-metal grinders, before moving on to vehicles.

These have been some eventful weeks in the world of copyright trolling. Thousands of unnamed "John Does" in P2P file sharing lawsuits filed in California, Washington DC, Texas, and West Virginia have been severed, effectively dismissing over 40,000 defendants. The plaintiffs in these cases must now re-file against almost all of the Does individually rather than suing them en mass. These rulings may have a significant impact on the copyright trolls' business model, which relies on being able to sue thousands of Does at once with a minimum of administrative expense. The cost of filing suit against each Doe may prove prohibitively expensive to plaintiffs' attorneys who are primarily interested in extracting quick, low-hassle settlements.
However, EFF has received reports that some Does are still receiving notices from their ISP's informing them that their identities are being sought in relation to these cases. If you receive a notice from your ISP informing you that it has received a subpoena requesting your subscriber information in connection with one of the cases in the spreadsheet attached below, please contact EFF immediately by emailing email@example.com.
Riding the Fences of the "Urban Homestead": Trademark Complaints and Misinformation Lead to Improper Takedowns
A leading candidate has emerged for the next EFF Takedown Hall of Shame induction: the Dervaes Institute, which is claiming broad ownership rights over the term "urban homesteading" — a term commonly used to describe a social movement dedicated to achieving more self-sufficient, sustainable living in cities. Last year, the Institute managed to register the term as a trademark (in connection with "educational services" such as blogging) and it is now sending takedown requests and warning letters targeting individuals and organizations that have been using the term for years.
The Dervaes campaign raises two related issues.
First, as explained in more detail in a letter EFF sent today on behalf of three of the targets (Kelly Coyne and Erik Knutzen, authors of The Urban Homestead: Your Guide to Self-Sufficient Living in the Heart of the City, and their publisher, Process Media), the legal claims are baseless. Even assuming the registration is valid — there are reasons to question it — the term "urban homesteading" is commonly understood to refer to a popular movement and related set of practices. Our clients — and anyone else — are free to use it in that descriptive sense, and that is exactly what they did.
Second, this dispute highlights the increased danger of granting rights in descriptive marks such as this one. Time was, the registration of this kind of mark might have had limited impact, because sensible mark-owners would think twice before bringing legal action and, short of such action, most legal users could ignore any improper threats. In the Internet context, however, individuals and organizations rely on service providers to help them communicate with the world (YouTube, Facebook, eBay, Blogger, etc.). A trademark complaint directed to one of those providers can mean a fast and easy takedown given that those service providers usually don't have the resources and/or the inclination to investigate trademark infringement claims. Moreover, because there is no counter-notice procedure, the targets of an improper takedown have no easy way to get their content back up.
Coyne, Knutzen, and Process Media found themselves in just that situation. The Dervaes Institute sent a complaint to Facebook and, as a result, Facebook promptly took down the pages for Coyne and Knutzen's book. When the publisher protested, Facebook politely suggested that the publisher take the matter up with the Institute and get back to Facebook when the matter was resolved. Of course, in most instances, takedown targets will lack the resources to persuade a trademark owner to withdraw a complaint, much less take legal action if necessary. We're glad that Coyne and Knutzen thought to call EFF for help.
We are also glad to see that our clients are not alone in fighting back against the Dervaes Institute's misguided campaign. Today has been declared an Urban Homesteader's Day of Action, itself organized through Facebook, that promises "to blanket the web with the words urban homestead and urban homesteading through blog posts, web pages, and articles." The Dervaes Institute should recognize that this is one community that will not be intimidated, cease its heavy-handed tactics, and take steps to repair the damage it has caused.
There is a lot of discussion about Do Not Track at the moment. The FTC has announced support for the idea; Mozilla has added a Do Not Track header option into Firefox betas, and Congresswoman Jackie Speier has introduced a Do Not Track bill. Other proposed privacy legislation, such as Rep. Bobby Rush's bill, could also achieve similar objectives. And yesterday, EFF submitted comments urging the Federal Trade Commission to defend online privacy by supporting the header-based Do Not Track feature.
Do Not Track is important because it creates a policy mechanism to augment the privacy enhancing technologies that we currently have. There is an arms race between practical privacy tools and ubiquitous online tracking, and we fear that the trackers have powerful techniques that will almost always allow them to win the arms race against ordinary people.
Some other anti-tracking technologies have also been discussed a lot recently, including
Microsoft's IE 9 Tracking Protection Lists, and AdBlock Plus with EasyPrivacy. These are great tools, and very much complimentary to the Do Not Track header proposal. We'll be posting about them at greater length soon.
Do Not Track is a technically simple proposal: add a header1 to the messages that browsers and other HTTP clients send when they fetch web pages. The header simply requests that webservers not track the user's behavior. It could be turned on if the user enters "private browsing mode", or if they have enabled a separate configuration setting.
There is more flexibility on the policy side of Do Not Track: "what is tracking?" "what should websites do to avoid tracking users who set the DNT header?" "would any websites be required to comply with the header?
There is a spectrum of good answers to each of these questions. This post will try to set out what we think some of the good answers are.
What is Tracking?
Tracking is a very simple, general concept. A good definition would be:
Tracking is the retention of information that can be used to connect records of a person's actions or reading habits across space, cyberspace, or time.
Despite this simple answer, we believe that there are some kinds of web tracking which — while they are still tracking — may not need to be categorically prohibited when the DNT header is set. A reasonable set of exceptions might be:
- Tracking that is limited to a single "1st party"1 website (either by the website itself or by an analytics provider subject to suitable contractual and technical protections)
- Tracking that is necessary to prevent fraud or respond to security incidents, provided such data is minimized, only kept for as long as necessary, and not used for other purposes.
- Tracking of users who have agreed to a clear and non-confusing "opt back in"
- Tracking that is necessary to complete an online transaction that the user has engaged in.
The existence of such excepted kinds of tracking does not, of course, mean that websites should not consider respecting DNT where possible in these cases too. For instance, we hope that many 1st party domains will choose to adopt limited logging and retention practices for users who enable DNT. There are other definitions of tracking that have been proposed. For instance, CDT proposed a slightly different draft definition, and our approach is largely in agreement with theirs.2
What should websites do in response to the DNT header? Should they be required to comply?
For most websites, and especially 1st party websites, DNT may make more sense as a voluntary convention, like ROBOTS.TXT, rather than a mandatory rule. However, there is a subset of websites where there is a stronger case for requiring compliance with DNT. These are the websites that (1) act as 3rd party tracking domains, invisibly monitoring people's reading habits as they browse the web; and (2) monitor a large number of users' browsing. There are several approaches to incentivizing compliance by large 3rd parties — some commentators have called for pressure in the marketplace via technical means ("if a large 3rd party appears not to be complying with DNT, add it to privacy blacklists"); the Rush bill incentivizes compliance with DNT-style opt outs through a "safe harbor"mechanism, while the Speier bill is more direct. We believe that legislation granting narrow authority to the FTC to set opt-out standards could be constructive, provided it focuses on the task of incentivizing compliance with consumers' preferences and avoids mandating particular technical methods of compliance.
Will a header always be the best mechanism for DNT?
Not necessarily. Over time, we will have new platforms and protocols to which DNT should apply, and perhaps more granular controls for users to express their preferences. Whatever path we follow for getting DNT deployed by browsers and respected by servers, we should be planning to have opt-out standards that evolve and support innovation.
- 1. Standard terminology is that the website you can see in your browser's address bar is the "1st party" and other domains in the hypertext page are "3rd parties". It would have made more sense to say that you are the 1st party; the website you're looking at is the 2nd party, and embedded domains are 3rd parties.
- 2. We think it makes slightly more sense to draw the line at the "retention" of tracking data, rather than "collection and correlation", because when trying to enforce DNT it's hard to tell the difference between data that is retained and correlated and data that is retained and not correlated.
In Part I of this post, we looked at the FCC's stated basis for its authority to regulate the Internet in its Report and Order, issued in late December 2010.
Now, we turn to the substance of the FCC's Order, and specifically how the Order stacks up against the concerns we raised in our January, 2010, comments to the FCC about the FCC's October 2009 Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM). (The Order raises other concerns for us as well, like the exclusion of wireless, that aren't addressed here; this post just tracks the issues discussed in our NPRM comments.) While we're big supporters of an open Internet and neutrality in practice, we were concerned that the proposed rules would create large loopholes for non-neutral behavior and barriers to entry for small noncommercial providers.
Unfortunately, it appears the FCC doesn't share our concernsor at least not enough to make real changes. While the new rules do take account of some of our smaller points about the NPRM, the FCC has made only a cosmetic effort to tackle the bigger problems.
Definition of "Reasonable Network Management"
Our first major substantive concern with the proposed rules had to do with the definition and use of "reasonable network management," a term used to describe certain non-neutral steps that service providers could take without violating the FCC rules. In the 2009 NPRM, "reasonable network management" included actions preventing "the unlawful transfer of content" and "the transfer of unlawful content"essentially code words for allowing your ISP to interfere with your service if it suspects you of engaging in copyright infringement. The term was included as a specific exception to each of the proposed rules.
Our comments urged the FCC not to target the content of Internet traffic in this way. "Reasonable network management" is typically understood as practices that promote the proper technical functioning of an ISP's network, and we warned about departing from that standard. The job of an ISPand what it knows bestis to carry bits, not to determine whether transferred content infringes copyrights. (As an aside, we're curious how such infringement detection would actually be effected.) Pressuring ISPs into becoming enforcers for the content industry is apt to lead to practices that will interfere with free expression of all network users, including those engaged in lawful conduct. Here's why: Trying to distinguish between authorized and unauthorized uses takes time and resources that service providers would likely prefer to spend elsewhere. Thus, service providers are likely to take the most expedient approach, such as targeting the transfer of any content that could conceivably infringe, even if that approach might affect lawful content as well.
We also noted that since the rules as drafted only implicated lawful activity, no such exceptions for unlawful activity should have been necessary in the first place. In addition, we argued that no "reasonable network management" exception was warranted for transparency (one of the NPRM's six principles). We see no justification for keeping consumers in the dark about non-neutral "reasonable network management" practices by their service providers.
In the final Rules, the FCC did limit the definition of "reasonable network management" to elements that relate directly to network management functions, such as ensuring network security and making parental controls available to end users. However, loopholes for copyright-based blocking efforts have hardly disappeared. Instead, the FCC simply gave them their own heading. In contrast to the proposed rules, moreover, the new "Other Laws and Considerations" section calls out copyright specifically, stressing that the rules do not prohibit "reasonable efforts ... to address copyright infringement." It's ironic that the FCC would work so hard to keep this provision. The excuse of "addressing copyright infringement" could have protected Comcast from FCC action in the BitTorrent blocking scheme that was so fundamental to the FCC's push for the Report and Order in the first place.
While we approve the removal of copyright enforcement blocking from its incongruous place on the "reasonable network management" list, the practical benefits to be gained from simply pasting it in somewhere else are minimal. Thus, the rules still invite overbroad enforcement behaviors affecting lawful activity. On the other hand, we were pleased to see the FCC removed the "reasonable network management" carve-out from the transparency requirement. That's a big change and a welcome one.
Exceptions for law enforcement
Our comments also challenged the proposed exceptions for law enforcement as dangerously overbroad. The original rules gave ISPs a general dispensation to engage in non-neutral behavior to address the needs of law enforcement. We urged the FCC to limit the language of the exception to permit ISPs to fulfill their legal obligations but foreclose voluntary non-neutral management practices under the pretext of complying with law enforcement needs. In specific situations where, in order to address law enforcement needs, an ISP might want to engage in non-neutral behavior, we recommended a waiver process whereby an ISP would apply to the Commission for permission in advance of adopting a non-neutral practice. The FCC acknowledged our feedback in the final Report but declined to follow our guidance.
Regulation of non-commercial providers
The NPRM specifically excluded "premise operators"establishments such as coffee shops, airports, and waiting rooms that acquire broad Internet access in order to make it available to patronsfrom compliance requirements. The Commission also suggested exempting services such as personal Wi-Fi networks that are not intended for use by others. While EFF endorsed these provisions and recommendations, we encouraged the Commission to exempt all noncommercial broadband Internet providers from the requirements of the Order, noting that the burdens of FCC regulation on small actors would discourage good faith, public-minded Internet initiatives and would also pose a bar to innovation.
Unfortunately, the FCC did not budge on this point. The Commission does give a nod to EFF in noting that individuals' wireless networkswhether or not intentionally made available to othersare not included in the rules. In addition, the Commission agreed that blocking traffic unwanted by a premise operator constitutes a legitimate network management purpose, even though the broadband provider of the access is not exempt from the rules.
In response to a question posed in the NPRM, our comments recommended that providers be required to permit tethering using Internet-ready handsets. This recommendation is consistent with our work to try to free handsets in the DMCA Rulemaking. The Report and Order, however, omits any mention of tethering.
All told, the rules as laid out in the final Order aren't that much improved from the NPRM. That said, these rules may have little effect in the end, given the numerous legal and legislative challenges to the FCC's authority to enforce them.
EFF just received documents in response to a 2-year old FOIA request for information on the FBI's "Going Dark" program, an initiative to increase the FBI's authority in response to problems the FBI says it's having implementing wiretap and pen register/trap and trace orders on new communications technologies. The documents detail a fully-formed and well-coordinated plan to expand existing surveillance laws and develop new ones. And although they represent only a small fraction of the documents we expect to receive in response to this and a more recent FOIA request, they were released just in time to provide important background information for the House Judiciary Committee's hearing tomorrow on the Going Dark program.
We first heard about the FBI's Going Dark program in 2009, when the agency's Congressional budget request included an additional $9 million to fund the program (on top of the $233.9 million it already received). Late last year, the New York Times linked the program to a plan to expand federal surveillance laws like the Communications Assistance to Law Enforcement Act (CALEA). We issued FOIA requests to the FBI in 2009 for information on Going Dark and in 2010 for information on the agency's plans to update CALEA. These are the first documents we've received since we filed our lawsuit against the agency late last year. The documents provide rare insight into the agency's multi-year strategy to increase its power to surveil our communications.
Here's What the Documents Show:
What is the "Going Dark" Program?
The name "Going Dark" is cryptic, and the FBI's public statements about the program are even more so. Nevertheless, FBI's Operational Technology Division states that the program is one of the FBI's "top initiatives" and has "gotten attention so far from high ranking officials in other federal, state, and local agencies and from industry." (GD4, p. 110).1 The FBI has told reporters in emails that Going Dark is:
the program name given to the FBI's efforts to utilize innovative technology; foster cooperation with industry; and assist our state, local, and tribal law enforcement partners in a collaborative effort to close the growing gap between lawful interception requirements and our capabilities.
(GD2, p1). The FBI has also said that the term "Going Dark" does not refer to a specific capability,
but is a program name for the part of the FBI, Operational Technology Division's (OTD) lawful interception program which is shared with other law enforcement agencies. The term applies to the research and development of new tools, technical support and training initiatives.
(GD2, p 8). Behind this rhetoric, the documents detail a program set up to address the FBI's allegations that communications providers' technologies prevent the agency from implementing wiretap and pen register/trap and trace orders – essentially, the FBI alleges it is "'in the dark' by the loss of evidence, that [it] would be lawfully entitled to, due to advances in technology, antiquated ELSUR laws, and or lack of resources, training, [and] personnel," (GD4, p. 120), and the FBI needs new laws and new tools to bring this evidence into the light.
The FBI's "Five-Prong" Going Dark Strategy
The FBI states the Going Dark program is a "five-prong strategic approach to address the lawful 'Intercept capability gap'" (GD3, p. 10). These five prongs are:
- modernization /amendment of existing laws,
- enhancing authorities to protect industry proprietary and [law enforcement] sensitive lawful intercept information, equipment and techniques,
- enhancing [law enforcement] agencies' coordination leveraging technical expertise of FBI with other [law enforcement] entities,
- enhancing lawful intercept cooperation between the communications industry and [law enforcement agencies] with a "One Voice" approach, and
- seeking new federal funding to bolster lawful intercept capabilities.
(GD3, p. 10). Originally it seemed the FBI was focused on just updating CALEA (which could be bad enough if it included some of the things we wrote about here), but now it appears the FBI plans to seek changes to the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA) and other laws, and may also propose new laws. For example, another document we received notes under Prong 1 that "Existing lawful intercept laws (e.g., Title III of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act, Electronic Communications Privacy Act [ECPA], and the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act [CALEA]) require modernization as a result of advancements in communications services and technologies." (GD1, pp. 38-40). And another document breaks the FBI's legislative strategy down into two categories:
- modernizing the Federal ELSUR [electronic surveillance] assistance mandates and Federal ELSUR laws and
- enacting new ELSUR-enhancing statutory authorities.
(GD1, p. 13). This is the first hard evidence we've seen that the FBI is pushing to update ECPA in addition to CALEA, and it is concerning to learn that the agency is trying to convince Congress that these two laws should be expanded at the same time to give the FBI even broader power to conduct "lawful" surveillance. Unfortunately, we don't know much more about the specifics of the FBI's plan because crucial information in the documents has been withheld or blocked out.
The FBI Has Been Working on "Going Dark" Since at Least 2006 and Has Lobbied Congress and the White House to Support the Program with More Money and Stronger Laws
The FBI and DOJ have been working on amendments to CALEA since at least 2006, though their efforts to lobby Congress and the White House have steadily ramped up within the last few years. (GD1, p. 34). The FBI has met with important Congressional committees and with the White House about Going Dark many times since January 2008 and has specific plans to "socialize [its] Strategy with key Congressional members and staff (e.g., Judiciary, Intelligence, Appropriations)." (GD1, pp. 38-30).
For example, in January 2008, the FBI director testified before the House and Senate at the annual threat assessment hearing and included a Q&A handout on Going Dark for the briefing book. (GD1, p.7). Although the hearings were held in both open and closed sessions (and so this handout should be available to the public), the version we received is heavily redacted. (GD1, p. 22).
In March 2008, staff from the Senate Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, and Science visited the FBI's Operational Technology Division and had a briefing on Going Dark with Kerry Haynes, the Assistant Director of the Investigative Technologies Division. Topics discussed included "unfunded requirements, level of cooperation/understanding/assistance from DNI, level of sharing and cooperation with IC/telecom and [international] partners, consolidation of tech efforts across industry, working groups/detailees [sic] to consolidate efforts, the 'data coordination center' concept." (GD1, p. 32).
The FBI focused much of its lobbying efforts on the Senate Commerce, Justice, Science (CJS) Appropriations Subcommittee, and met with met with Senator Mikulski, the committee chair, and her staffers several times over the last few years in both open and closed sessions, including in April 2008, June 2008, May 2009, and June 2009. In fact, according to the FBI, Senator Mikulski stated during the June 2008 meeting: "The FBI and the CJS have had a very productive working relationship and the FBI can count on the CJS for whatever it needs to fulfill the mission of the FBI." (GD1, p. 30).
The FBI also met or communicated with key members of the current administration and other agencies, including meeting with the Obama transition team in November 2008, (GD3, p. 8-9). The agency discussed Going Dark with the Department of Commerce in May 2009, (GD4, p. 26), and met with ODNI on Going Dark in October 2008. (GD4, p. 80) The FBI also worked directly with the DEA to try to collect information detailing agents' inability to conduct electronic surveillance, to provide support for the agency's claim that it needed new and better tools and laws. (GD4, pp. 24-25). And the agency planned to vet its 5-prong strategy with both the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and Department of Justice (DOJ). (GD1, pp. 38-30).
The FBI Has Also Worked With State and Local Law Enforcement and Private Government Contractors to Develop and Implement its Strategy
Several of the documents we received detail the FBI's holistic approach to implementing Going Dark. For example, the agency sought input from state and local law enforcement leadership such as "IACP, Major Cities Chiefs, Major County Sheriffs' Association," (GD1, pp. 38-40), and asked state and local law enforcement to provide it with examples of electronic surveillance failures. The agency also reached out to the communications industry, including "IP-based communications service providers and manufacturers" and "third-party lawful intercept solution providers." (GD1, pp. 38-40, 2-3). And the agency contracted with private government consultants at RAND Corporation and Booz, Allen & Hamilton to study the problem and help devise solutions. (GD3, p. 28; GD4, pp. 6-7; GD4, p. 112)
What Does This Mean for our FOIA Lawsuit and for the FBI's Hopes to Implement Changes to Federal Surveillance Laws?
The interesting thing about all this is that the DOJ has argued in response to our motion seeking documents that because there's no draft legislation being publicly bandied about right now, there can be no urgency to our FOIA request. For this reason, the agency won't agree to any deadline to produce its documents. We'll be arguing this point in the court hearing on our motion tomorrow and hope to convince the court that the Going Dark documents, combined with the House Judiciary Committee hearing, show that the DOJ is serious about pushing through changes to communications surveillance laws as soon as possible. We'll be urging the court to order the DOJ to produce the rest of the documents in response to our FOIA requests while there's still time to influence the debate.

When we said that Texas was no place to file suit if you want to bypass due process, we weren't kidding. Senior federal judge Royal Furgeson has "severed" thousands of Does in these and several other cases. (see below for sample order). Judge Furgeson is the same judge that ordered the plaintiffs in five cases to explain why the court should not appoint attorneys to represent the Does' interests.
In essence, these rulings mean that the plaintiff in each case must re-file against each Doe defendant individually, rather than attempting to sue hundreds (or thousands) of Does at once, something that may make these cases less lucrative for the lawyers hoping to turn copyright trolling into a business model.
This is the latest court to accept the joinder argument EFF -- along with the ACLU and Public Citizen in some cases -- pioneered in multiple cases across the country (D.C.,West Virginia Illinois, and Texas).
The argument is that the fact that hundreds of defendants happened to allegedly download the same movie with the same software is no basis for lumping them together in the same lawsuit. Citing one of recent decisions by a West Virginia federal court, Judge Furgeson affirmed that "merely committing the same type of violation in the same way does not link defendants together for purposes of joinder." Quite right.
Kudos to Judge Furgeson for refusing to allow the plaintiffs to bypass basic due process rights and helping to ensure the judicial process is fair for everyone involved.
Since it began publishing a trove of classified United States Embassy cables on November 28, 2010, Wikileaks has faced an onslaught of censorship that demonstrated how online speech is vulnerable when intermediaries refuse to host contentious or unpopular speech. When payment providers, service providers and even visualization software services cut off services, Wikileaks struggled to keep their site online, going down for periods of time and reducing the content they carry. But while the availability of Wikileaks content was restricted, the demand from readers and media organizations to access that information stayed strong. Now a new generation of Wikileaks-inspired websites is populating the Internet — decentralizing the concept of whistleblowing and making it harder to shut down speech merely by cutting off services to one site.
There are numerous other online whistleblower sites cropping up; here is a sampling of some of the newcomers:
- OpenLeaks is the most well-known of the new online whistleblowing sites. Founded by several former members of Wikileaks, including former Wikileaks spokesperson Daniel Domscheit-Berg, OpenLeaks aims to avoid some of the controversy around Wikileaks by passing all material directly to news organizations, rather than publishing material themselves. The source submitting the documents will have the ability to choose how and to whom information is leaked.
- LocalLeaks provides an online service that will send information to 1,400 newspapers across the United States. Sources can choose which news outlets will receive their information.
- Rospil, created by journalist Alexei Navlny, is an online portal for whistleblowers to share information about corruption in Russia. They're currently seeking experts who can provide analysis of the documents they receive and say with some authority whether or not they point to fraud and corruption within the government.
- RuLeaks is another Russian whistleblower site. A project of the Russian Pirate Party, RuLeaks is promoting itself as a "Russian Wikileaks." It gained international attention after publishing a series of photos showing Putin's lavish estate on the Black Sea.
- GreenLeaks.org (apparent trademark owners of "GreenLeaks") is a nonprofit organization that provides an online platform for leaking information about nature, the climate and the environment. It should not be confused with similarly-named
- GreenLeaks.com is a media organization that also publishes information about the environment.
Specific to a single news outlet:
- Al Jazeera's Transparency Unit is an online portal for securely uploading documents, photos, audio, video and story tips. It's goal is to "shine light on notable and newsworthy government and corporate activities which might otherwise go unreported."
- The New York Times, which has been deeply involved with publishing recent materials from Wikileaks, is now rumored to be considering its own online leak submission system.
- There are also reports that the Washington Post is investigating a similar online document submission service.
As these sites multiply, they will still need to deal with the challenges that Wikileaks and Cryptome have faced. They will need to find ways to effectively protect the identities of their sources, provide an adequate media platform, earn the trust of whistleblowers, weed out fabricated leaks, and avoid the wrath of corporations and governments. However, one thing is clear: the strong demand by readers and the media will make anonymous whistleblowing websites a permanent fixture in the future of investigative journalism. Cutting off services to one popular whistleblowing website will never be enough to keep truthful political information off the Internet.
UPDATE (2/17/11): We are informed that there is some dispute as to trademark rights in the term "GreenLeaks."
EFF is extremely pleased to announce a new addition to our Board of Directors: Harvard Law and Computer Science Professor Jonathan Zittrain.

This pretty pie is so simple to make the kids can help decorate it with the marshmallows and crushed peppermint!
Marshmallows will melt slightly on hot pudding but shouldn't sink.
It's important the foil not touch the marshmallows as the pie cools; they will stick to it.

|query support in fuseki
|Fri, 04 Feb 2011 23:04:13 GMT
I noticed some code in Fuseki that will throw error if a query contains FROM/FROM NAMED clauses. I think it makes sense given it is Sparql 1.1 SOH protocol and since you specify the dataset in your call you can't do it in the FROM/FROM NAMED clauses too. But, does that mean that Fuseki will never deprecate Joseki since in order to query multiple data sets you would need FROM/FROM NAMED clauses in the query and only Joseki would support that? Or will/does Fuseki support standard Sparql endpoint semantics as well? Tim

When my cab driver couldn't find my hotel late at night, he asked if a "family Indian hotel" would be ok. I agreed and here we are. It's clean and friendly. When I asked the front desk for toilet paper, the clerk gave me an exasperated look and answered, "We use water here." Right! Of course. Bring it if you want it. The hotel has air-con, which is great if you can breathe in it. If you have trouble breathing at all, don't go to Delhi. The hotel is affiliated with a restaurant that provides affordable room service. Don't count on the wi-fi. The bustling neighborhood is the best attribute. Just walk out the front door and go straight, into a maze of busy streets. There is a sweet shop nearby and a very nice vegetarian restaurant.

I have recently stayed in this hotel,really saying if you want to feel like you r in hell plz book the hotel immediately.Staff including manager don't even know how to speak with customers.Dont even dare to give an order for food becoz the food you will order will be something that you won't even prefer to serve to your dog.Rooms are so maintained as if you r in a trouble zone with taps not working,lights are all broken and ohh! My God,guys plz lock the door all times it could be any time housekeeping could visit without knocking.I had just waited for the night to get the hotel changed as they had already kept Rs-3000/- as security.Uff what a horrible experience. I wish hotel Richmond Inn should not get a single customer,as you people deserve pigs not peoples.

People, reading this review is a lot help to you guys. Please provide an option for ZERO STARS, I don't even like to see a star for this motel. Trust me, dorms are far better than this ridiculous worst rooms with no proper locks(you have to struggle for at least 15-20mins). My experience starts from entrance, they charged 3500INR for the only reason early check in. Can you imagine that was the discounted price for using their source of travel to Taj Mahal, which we weren't aware off. After 10mins of check in, boy knocks the door and informs the bus is about to leave. I was wondering, Why the heck was he informing us. Within couple of mins there were 5 phone calls and the boy (himself behaves like a owner) knocked the door for another 5 times. Finally I went to front desk to talk about the issue(motel team was all around the front desk). Reception guy cooking it to be heated conversation and they doesn't even know how to treat the customer. Now enters the team, arguing that I have to choose their source as if I have no option. This experience was like threatening to earn money. I finally decided to call cops to sort out the issue and then they stepped down to obey my words. I also noticed that the rowdy team was onto other customer for asking his deposit(however it was charged as tax that they inform about it at the check out). Time 11.30pm - we just returned from Taj Mahal, It was the rowdy team again threatening the couple to get into their ill treated hotel. This motel made auto drivers as marketing leads with high commissions. However I was into this motel due to an auto guy. Do not trust the hotels preferred by auto drivers in Delhi. If you guys want to get threatened, ill treated and get sick, please go ahead and reserve a room.

I Stayed in the hotel with my family, found the location quite easily since the hotel is situated on the main road. The receptionist was quite helpful and of great help, though we checked in early but they were cooperative beyond expectations. The room was well ventilated, airy and arguably large compared to most of the hotels in the vicinity. Food is good rather fresh and available round the clock. Staff is very cooperative. Mr Amit is a wonderful person, he was helpful in all I needed, from hiring a rickshaw to finding good restaurants as well as in getting any amenity in the room which were needed. Special Thanks to Mr Vijay who went beyond the limits in anything asked for. I'm leaving with very good memories from Richmond Inn

Fraudulent hotel, they will ask for caution deposit while checking in and while returning deduct atleast 50% of that as some tax. As usual cheating trend of Delhi hotels. And they will not provide you proper bills.

Yemen army toll from Qaeda assault rises to 78
A surprise attack by Al-Qaeda extremists on troops in Yemen's restive south has killed at least 78 soldiers and 25 militants, medics and military officials said on Monday.
"The toll from the battles between the army and Qaeda militants ... has risen to at least 78" soldiers, a military official said on condition of anonymity.
Global Homeland Security & Public Safety Industry, Technologies & Markets – 2017-2022
He added that "dozens more were wounded ... in the surprise attack" Sunday on army posts on the outskirts of Zinjibar, Abyan's provincial capital.
"It was a massacre," he said.
A medic at a military hospital in the neighbouring port city of Aden confirmed the death toll and said staff were overwhelmed by the number of casualties.
"We were forced to use administrative offices and waiting rooms to treat the wounded," the medic told AFP, also speaking on condition of anonymity.
Military officials had reported fierce clashes Sunday when militants linked to Al-Qaeda tried to overrun an army post in Kud, just south of Zinjibar. The violence then spread to other military positions on the outskirts of the city.
The militants, known as the Partisans of Sharia (Islamic law), took control of Zinjibar and several other towns in Yemen's mostly lawless south last May as former President Ali Abdullah Saleh was facing mass protests demanding his ouster.
