"Is it safe yet?" is a good question to ask about your tax returns. The IRS normally has three years to question your taxes but the tax code says that time is doubled if you omitted 25% or more of your income. Should the IRS get double the time if you achieve the same effect by a higher basis—say by claiming you paid $2 million for a house you actually bought for $1 million?
In 2012, the U.S. Supreme Court in U.S. v. Home Concrete & Supply, LLC dramatically cut back on IRS reaches into the six year territory. The Court ruled basis claims aren't omissions from income so 3 years means 3 years. See HUGE Taxpayer Win: Supreme Court Tells IRS 3 Years To Audit Is PLENTY!
Many people are flummoxed by IRS statute of limitations questions. We all want to know when we can throw receipts away and legitimately point to the statute of limitations rather than finding receipts and making substantive tax arguments why a deduction was proper. Regarding the need for receipts, see What If A Taxpayer Doesn't Have Receipts?
Fraud? Who Me? One good question is how the statute of limitations on fraud fits into this puzzle. The IRS has no time limit if you never file a return (the three year clock never starts to run) and no time limit on fraud. See Section 6501(c)(2). The fraud rule is confusing. You might think the IRS would assert fraud to get unlimited time.
Fortunately, the IRS has a high burden to carry to show fraud. The result of the high burden of proof is that the IRS doesn't often try to use the unlimited fraud statute. The IRS handbook on fraud makes interesting reading.
Extending the Time? Another common glitch is what happens if the IRS asks you to extend the statute. The IRS may contact you (usually about two and a half years after you file), asking you to extend the statute of limitations. The IRS may want to examine an issue, but has not had time to complete its analysis to determine if you do or don't deserve a tax bill.
As a result, the IRS will send you a form asking you to sign and return it consenting to extend the statute. Some taxpayers say "no" or ignore the request. Either way, that usually leads the IRS to send a notice assessing extra taxes based on whatever information the IRS has.

Christmas in Kerala
Trip Start
Sep 03, 2006
Trip End
Jan 30, 2007
The simple answer is EVERYTHING. Did the car break down? Yes. Did the driver fall asleep at the wheel? Yes. Did we get lost? Yes, temporarily. Did we end up getting there at roughly the same time as the train? YES! But hey, you live and you learn and then you realize that when it comes to India there is no one right answer - particularly when it comes to transportation.
Varkala was amazing - and definitely one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever been to. The water was the perfect temperature, the waves were decent enough for some body boarding, and the palm trees were doing there swaying in the wind thang. The place was surprisingly calm for a tourist spot during the high season - no complaints there. All the restaurants had tasty food if you knew how to order correctly and are willing to wait triple the normal time. The stores were full of all the typical touristy tiny tops and crazy pants ... weird shoes, chunky necklaces and salespeople who were IMPOSSIBLE. Would you believe that they actually made me feel uncomfortable at being in their shops ... yikes.
We had Christmas dinner at the local Taj ... it was a nice buffet complete with outdoor seating and a live Indian dance performance. The food was not AMAZING - though Tobi seemed to enjoy the steak a bit too much - after is fourth serving I thought he would stop ... but in India you eat when you can as he says. I think he is right. Truth is, you never know when you really will get your next good meal.
We rented bikes on the first day - or the boys did actually. I just got to sit on the back and take pictures. YEA! We ended up doing a bit of discovery and found a great coastal road that went through a series of villages. The people were so friendly - our favorite was the man who randomly began to dance in the middle of the road as we passed .... or maybe the little boy wearing the santa mask who posed for a picture.
I got to see a Kathakali performance with Johannes - the newest addition to our trip. Sweet guy who let me borrow his shoes after someone STOLE MY SANDALS ON THE BEACH. I mean REALLY - whats that all about. It was great ... pics here tell it all. The skill demonstrated by the dancers is stellar ... I was truly terrified by the demon ... and somewhat embarrassed by the beautiful lady when she smiled ... the characters were so elegantly portrayed - the costumes were crazy - the makeup an art. In my opinion, this is a must see if you visit Kerala.
We are off to a house boat now as we have finally booked a boat ... thank goodness that pressure is off - it was so difficult to make the reservation - yikes! High season certainly has its low points - one of them is trying to get your plans straight without all the hassle.

Introduction (2.0)
Howdy, Sigh! here, and welcome to The Pokémon Royal Rumble! (12th Man edition) This is a fantastic game where any Pokemon has a chance to shine on its own whether they have amazing stats or they are just a Magikarp! So are you ready to rumble!!
If you feel this opening post is too long for you to read, feel free to click here for a shorter explanation of the game.
History (3.0)
Spoiler:- The History:
The Winners Archives (3.1)
There have been many previous winners for the Pokémon Royal Rumble, thus it is important to keep a record of their victories. This list will be up to date, so whenever someone in this thread wins, it will be added to the archives. Due to the character limit, the archives are unable to be displayed in this post. However, if you wish to take a look click here.
Objective & How To Play (4.0)
The Pokémon Royal Rumble is a fantasy 10-12 way Pokémon battle with each Pokémon taking orders from a separate trainer (which are the members of SPPf). Each trainer will order attacks to the Pokémon they control to cause other Pokémon's HP to lower. There will then be a reffing to determine the outcome of everyone's commands (see sec. 16.0). When a Pokémon's HP gets down to 0, it faints. The rumble will then end once every Pokémon besides one has fainted, and the last one remaining will have won. Once they have won, the Pokémon and the trainer will be added to the winners archives (see sec 3.1), and they will be able to participate in the Ultimate Rumble.
The Ultimate Rumble (4.1)
The Ultimate Rumble is a royal rumble fought by the winners of the previous 10-12 rumbles and the Pokémon they won with. Once a winner has been determined, they will receive the title of "Ultimate Rumbler". If a member wins a round more than once between the previous Ultimate Rumble and the upcoming Ultimate Rumble, they will be able to control all the Pokémon they won with, and not just one.
When the round just before the Ultimate Rumble is coming to a close, all participants will be privately messaged asking if they are able or willing to participate. If all members respond yes, then the Ultimate Rumble will take place immediately after. However:
1.) If I notice that a participant has been inactive for awhile, the Ultimate Rumble will take place after the next round, and the next round's winner would replace them.
2.) If I notice that a participant is banned, the runner up to the round that the member has won in will take their place, with the Pokémon they controlled.
3.) I get a reply saying that a member will not be able to participate then but will in the distant future (like for example if they are going on vacation), then the Ultimate Rumble will take place after the next round. The winner of that round will not be added to the upcoming Ultimate Rumble, but the one after.
4.) If I get a reply saying they do not wish to participate, the runner up to the round that the member has won in will take their place, with the Pokémon they controlled.
Below are a list of the Ultimate Rumblers and their Pokémon:
ground tamer
ground tamer
Silent Conversation
The Meddler
Rules (5.0)
1.) Obey main forum and game section rules.
2.) If you have an issue with ANYTHING to do with how this game is ran, please do not take it up in the thread. Instead either visitor message/privately message me, or talk to me on the chatroom (see sec. 18.1).
3.) Do not complain if a reffing doesn't go your way. Politely private message or visitor message one of the referees and ask them why (insert complaint) happened.
4.) No badgering referees for an update.
5.) When a referee says "ceasefire" or "stop attacking", this means you may not command or attack anymore. Any others after this post will not be counted.
6.) When a referee announces they are going to update, they may request a member to post a "filler". "Fillers" are an unproductive post a random member may make to prevent the referee from double posting when the reffing is complete. If this scenario occurs, only ONE member may post a filler, and other posts that do not have any productivity will be considered SPAM.
7.) When claiming a reffing as a referee, you cannot say to "claim the reffing after" if someone has claimed the reffing for the current turn. It's first come first serve unless someone tries to ref twice in a row. Basically, you cannot claim in advance.
8.) Do not ask for a reservation next round. You will not get one, deal with it.
9.) NO ALTERNATE ACCOUNTS WHATSOEVER. I cannot stress this enough, if you are caught using an alt, during a rumble or not, you will be immediately removed from the rumble and reported to the mods. No warnings.
The Punishment System (5.1)
There is no determined punishment system for your actions, but you should know what you are doing wrong. I will warn you, but if you continue to disobey I will ban you for a time I see fit.
The Banned List (5.2)
Bolded Name - Date the ban will be lifted
The General Rumbling Rules (6.0)
1.) This game is adapted from animé style so attacks don't work exactly the same as in the games. You may specify what you want the attack to do but it wont always happen if the ref thinks its impossible. For an accurate description of how the move will work in the Pokémon Royal Rumble go to the Attackdex (see sec. 10.2)
2.) Do not try to join in the middle of a round.
3.) You may only attack THREE times per reffing. If you go over that amount you will get a 10 HP penalty (see sec. 10.8 for more details).
4.) You may only use moves that are in your movepool (see sec. 10.9 for more details). If you use a move that is not in your movepool, you will receive a 5 HP penalty.
5.) Never change a command once you have posted it. If the ref sees that you have edited a post that includes a command you will get a penalty depending on the ref. The minimum penalty you can get is a loss of 10 HP.
6.) You may not command in the past. This means that you may not make a command that occurs before what you have already commanded. If you do so, it will not work. This is an exception if you are attacked before your most recent command or if the power of an attack that you did not block was altered. Under these exceptions you may command in the past in order to defend.
7.) Unless there have been no other commands between the two, you may not make another post commanding your Pokémon to do something different to a previous command you made. It will not be counted. If someone is misinformed by the referee, they will be allowed to change their commands, but any other subsequent commands afterwards by other participants that are affected may also be changed.
8.) When attacking, all attacks you use must be bolded and your Pokémon's name be present. If you fail to do either of these, it will not be counted.
9.) When using an attack that targets only one other Pokémon, you must specify who you wish to target. If you do not, the attack will still be used, but it will not hit anyone. You cannot request to target randomly either.
10.) If you are inactive for 3 reffings, you will be modkilled.
11.) No alliances or truces unless otherwise stated. This means you cannot help another participant you are playing with get to the finals along with you or you cannot agree to not attack them if they do not attack you. If a referee or I discovers you are doing this, you will be modkilled.
Registration (7.0)
Due to how popular this game is, being able to sign up for an upcoming rumble will be tough. First you must state what Pokémon you would like to be and what ability (see sec. 11.2) you would like to use. If the Pokémon is not part of the theme you will not be permitted to join until you have changed your choice. In addition, if the sign-ups are full do not fret. Those who did not participate the previous round will get priority registration, so if sign-ups are full you may still join and replace a member who did play the last time. The one who will get booted is determined by whoever of them signed up for the current round the most recent. This is unless the round that someone was signing up is their third round in a row, then they will get booted first.
This is an exception to those who came in second the previous round. The person who came in second place will automatically get a reservation for the next round, and they also may not be booted off the sign-ups. If the person who came in second place does not want to join the next round, the person who came in third place may take the reservation instead. If they do not want it either, the person who came in fourth will take it and the privilege will keep on going downwards if no one wants to take it.
When the registration will close is determined by the referee who is doing the opening ref. They may call a "cease registering" which means no one may join anymore. However, if the list is already full with people who did not play the previous time, as well as whoever came in second place, this will not be necessary as sign-ups would already be closed.
If multiple people sign up as the same Pokémon, they may each choose a nickname for their Pokémon. This nickname must be a combination of their username and their Pokémons name. However, if the nickname is not distinct enough to understand what Pokémon they are using, they must choose another. The participant must command (see sec. 6.0) their Pokémon with their new nickname and not with the Pokémons name or else it will not be counted. However, if all of the other identical Pokémon faint, the one remaining may start calling their Pokémon by their real name and drop the nickname by stating so in their first command after the reffing has taken place.
Themes (8.0)
Themes are a vital part of The Pokémon Royal Rumble. They determine the selection of Pokémon you can use for that rumble. It can be anything from water type Pokémon, to Pokémon found in Kanto, to Pokémon that are in Super Smash Bros. However, some rounds do not have to have a theme and a contestant can chose whichever Pokémon they want. For a list of themes that will be used in upcoming rounds, see sec. 17.2 to plan ahead of which Pokémon you would like to use.
How Themes Are Created (8.1)
All themes are determined in advance. However, every round decided after the next three are tentative so if you guys have any theme suggestions, feel free to either PM them to me or post it on our website (see sec. 18.0). If I like it enough, it may take place before some of the themes that are already planned
Styles (9.0)
Unlike themes, styles do not affect the selection of your Pokémon. Instead, it determines how the rumble is played. If you want a better understanding of them, see sec. 9.1.
Current Types of Styles (9.1)
The Alliance Style - With this style, 12 people participate and are divided into 4 teams of 3. The Pokémon remaining in the last team remaining face off against each other and a winner is determined.
The Gangnam Style - With this style, everyone starts dancing the song this style is named afterwards, and whoever does the best performance wins the rumble.
The INSANE Style - With this style, 20-25 people will participate instead of the normal 12. Participants have 400 stamina instead of 200, while 200 becomes their new stamina maximum instead of 120.
The Tag Team Style -With this style, 12 people participate, but sign up with two Pokémon each, with 50 HP and 150 stamina. Only one Pokémon from each participant may be on the field at a time, but the participant may switch between Pokémon once per turn. The last Pokémon to not faint out of all 24 wins. Two Pokémon may win if they belong to the same participant. Signing up as two of the same Pokémon is not allowed.
The Tournament Style - With this style, 16 people participate and are randomly divided into 4 blocks of 4. Once two Pokémon are eliminated from each block, the other two go on to the next round. The proceeding contestants of Block A take part in another 4 way rumble with the proceeding contestants of Block B, while the same is for Block C and Block D. Once two Pokémon are eliminated from each, the remaining four face off against each other. Each contestant will have 50 HP and 150 stamina, with the new 75 being the new maximum when gone under instead of 120.
The Upgrade Style - With this style, there is no stamina. Instead, it is replaced with "EXP". All Pokémon will start off as un-evolved Pokémon (you may not choose your ability), and may only use attacks would consume 15 stamina or under (with the exception of Protect). By successfully doing damage to an opponent, that amount of damage done will be added to your EXP. By increasing your EXP unlocks usability of moves that would consume a higher amount of stamina, and enough will eventually allow you to evolve (there will be Everstones consistently scattered around all the stages, do you can grab them at any time if you wish to prevent yourself from evolving). To see the experience system, click here. My god this is a long description.
How Styles Are Created (9.2)
Styles are not nearly as common as themes, and there will only be 1-2 between each Ultimate Rumble. In addition, we like to repeat them. Therefore, we do not need that many styles; however if you have an idea feel free to either PM it to me or post it on our website (see sec. 19.0). If it is good enough, it will be implemented into an upcoming round.

Hi Simos,
Sorry to hear you had a bad experience with us at N.SPA. I have looked into this, you had a voucher which clearly states that the purchased was for a file, buff cuticle work and shellac. You had a option to upgrade your pedicure to a full pedicure for £10 but you did not want to do this extra service when you booked. Unfortunetly as you was the last client of the evening there was not enough time for the girls to up grade your pedicure and it was almost 8pm which is closing time after a long day.
PLEASE NOTE: We at N.SPA do not tolerate abusive behaviour towards any staff, if you had a complaint you should of contacted the shop the next morning to speak the manager.

The Horse Forum
- General Off Topic Discussion
- - Can my landlord do this?
Can my landlord do this? My roommates and I have a lease that goes until the end of August. Our duplex has a garage. Our landlord has decided that he wants to convert the garage into additional living space for the renters next year. So he wants to have the remodel done while we are still living in the duplex. This is a problem: -- We use the garage for storage, including a chest freezer and several shelves... all of which would have to be moved out/around to accomodate the remodel. -- While the work is being completed, we won't be able to park our cars in the garage or on the driveway. We'll have to park on the street. -- Our washer and dryer are in the garage. We'll have to contend with the construction to do laundry -- We sometimes use the garage for working out, completing crafts, etc My question is, can our landlord legally force us to allow him to deprive us of the facilities that our lease gives us the use of? Can he force us to allow him to turn the lower half of our living area into a construction zone, and still expect us to pay full rent? Any advice or help with locating legal information that might pertain to this would be much appreciated. |
Depends on the wording of your lease. You might want legal advice. |
Call the city and see if he can legally convert a garage to an apartment. If the use of the garage is in your lease, then no, he can't just take it over. If in the lease and he starts moving it out and off property charge him with theft. |
What does your lease say? And I very much agree with Saddlebag in some states it IS required to have an approval from the local government to change something like garage into the apartment (or build an addition on property). I'd definitely give a call to the county office and check on that. |
Thanks for the tips. I've been exploring my options. I did some research and it looks like he does need a building permit from the city to do this, which I sort of doubt he actually has given that he spontaneously decided that this would be a great idea about a week or two ago. I will also be looking over the local landlord/tenant laws in more detail. If he is going to try to make my life miserable, I'm going to try to make his life miserable right back. :twisted: |
By the laws in my state, he's in the wrong every which way you can think of as nothing he's trying to do would be legal. That said, hope you are prepared to move at the end of your lease. |
If you call your jurisdiction (usually the town) and report him they can put a "stop work order" in place if he indeed starts building something that requires a permit without one. By the time he gets through that red tape-chances are your lease will be up. I would suggest looking for a new place. Soon. |
It is a duplex, though. I can't imagine a duplex where the garage isn't included in the lease. The legal description will the key, though. The only way I think a garage would not be included is if the legal description of the property being leased was a metes and bounds description that did not include the garage... |
Since it's a duplex, there are neighbors on either side. He won't get the permit because the zoning would have to be changed to commercial and that won't happen for that situation. Perhaps his plan was to not get the permits and do this on the sly. In one city the city has an inspector who checks garages. Serious fines if one looks like someone might be sleeping there. He has to have a building permit even if he makes improvements to the garage, based on how much it will be worth at the end of the year. Then his taxes will go up accordingly. |

B i o g r a p h y |
Celebrated as the European electronic music community's premier ambassador, composer Jean Michel Jarre elevated the synthesizer to new peaks of popularity during the 1970's, in the process emerging as an international superstar renowned for his dazzling concert spectacles. The son of the famed film composer Maurice Jarre, he was born August 24, 1948, in Lyon, France, and began studying piano at the age of five. Abandoning classical music as a youth, Jarre became enamored of jazz before forming a rock band called Mystere IV; in 1968, he became a pupil of the musique concrète pioneer Pierre Schaeffer, joining Groupe de Recherches Musicales. His early experiments in electroacoustic music yielded the 1971 single "La Cage"; the fulllength Deserted Palace followed a year later.
Jarre's early works were largely unsuccessful, and gave little indication of the work to follow. As he struggled to find his own voice, he wrote for a variety of singers, including Françoise Hardy, and also composed for films. Seeking to push electronic music away from its minimalist foundations as well as the formal abstractions of its most experimental practitioners, he slowly developed the orchestrated melodicism of his 1977 breakthrough effort, Oxygène, an enormous commercial hit that reached the number two spot on the U.K. pop charts. The followup, 1978's Equinoxe, was also a smash, and a year later Jarre held the first in a series of massive openair concerts at the Place de la Concorde in Paris, the estimated one million spectators on hand earning him a place in The Guinness Book of World Records.
Only in the wake of 1981's Les Chants Magnétiques (Magnetic Fields) did Jarre mount a proper tour, traveling to China with a staggering amount of stage equipment in tow; the five performances, performed backed by some 35 traditional instrumentalists, later generated the LP Concerts in China. Released in 1983, Music for Supermarkets instantly became one of the most collectible albums in history recorded for an art exhibit, only one copy was ever pressed, selling at a charity auction for close to 10,000. The master was then incinerated, guaranteeing the record's rarity. Jarre's next proper release was 1984's Zoolook, which failed to connect with audiences with the same success as its predecessors.
A twoyear hiatus followed before he resurfaced on April 5, 1986, with an extravagant live performance in Houston celebrating NASA's silver anniversary; in addition to the over one million in attendance, it was also broadcast on global television. Rendez-Vous appeared a few weeks later, and after another highly visual live date in Lyon, France, Jarre assembled the best material from the two events as the 1987 concert LP Cities in Concert: Houston/Lyon. Revolutions, featuring the legendary Shadows guitarist Hank B. Marvin, followed in 1988, and a year later a third concert LP, dubbed simply Jarre Live, hit stores. After 1990's En Attendant Cousteau (Waiting for Cousteau), Jarre mounted his biggest live experience yet, with an attendance of over two and a half million fans converging on Paris to see him perform in honor of Bastille Day.
The decade to follow proved surprisingly quiet, however, and apart from the occasional live appearance Jarre was largely removed from the limelight; finally, in 1997 he issued Oxygène 7-13, updating his concepts for a new musical era.

Owen Smith, Dashiell Hammett's San Francisco
Contact: Judy Moran, Public Art Program, (415) 252-2586 or firstname.lastname@example.com
Dashiell Hammett Walking Tour, led by Don Herron
Date: Saturday, June 28th at 1pm
Place: SE corner of Market and Third Streets
Free of charge and no reservations required.
Artist Owen Smith pays tribute to the classic San Francisco hard-boiled detective novel, Dashiell Hammet's The Maltese Falcon, with a series of colorful and expressive characters showcased in posters commissioned by the San Francisco Arts Commission's Art on Market Street 2008 Program. The posters will be installed from Monday, June 16th, to Thursday, September 18th, on the pedestrian side of kiosks on Market Street between Van Ness and the Embarcadero.
As part of the project, on Saturday, June 28th, at 1 PM, Don Herron will lead one of his popular Dashiell Hammett Tours beginning at the southeast corner of Market and Third Streets in downtown San Francisco. The tour is free of charge. In addition to visiting Sam Spade's and Miles Archer's office and other San Francisco sites included in The Maltese Falcon, tour participants will see Owen Smith's posters and hear the artist discuss how Smith selected and developed an image for each of the character's posters.
Artist Owen Smith is known nationally for his expressive figurative painting style reminiscent of the social realist movement. His rich deeply colorful artwork has been included in many periodicals, including several recent covers of The New Yorker, as well as numerous book covers, such as Maureen Dowd's Are Men Necessary?: When Sexes Collide. Smith's artwork has been displayed in the New York subway system, at the San Francisco Opera, and he will have a permanent installation of mosaics and reliefs at the renovated Laguna Honda Hospital. Smith currently teaches at the California College of the Arts.
Don Herron has led the popular Dashiell Hammett Tour in San Francisco since 1977. The thirteenth anniversary edition of his Hammett tour book will be published this fall by Vince Emery Books.

Elaine's Attic |
The shop is located at 227 E. Rutherford St. Landrum SC 29356 next to CVS in downtown Landrum. Come by and meet Marilee, Betty, Connie, Marie K and Marie C! The hours are Mon-Fri 10-5, Sat 9-5. How I got the name Elaine's Attic: I started this business after getting hooked on quilting instigated by my mom and my Aunt Elaine. My Mom found some quilt pieces in the attic that my Grandmother had cut out but never sewn together. She found enough for both my sister and me. She gave them to my Aunt Elaine to sew together. Once my Aunt was finished, my mother presented my sister and myself with our quilt to pass down to our daughters. I used to sew as a teen and make all my stage clothes. I had given my sewing machine back to my mom a long time ago. My honey bought me a sewing machine for Christmas and the next thing I know, I am piecing and quilting two identical quilts for my twin nephews birthday. I was so enthralled with the process that I spent many nights up until 1 AM sewing to get them finished. I was hooked. Elaine's Attic started from my addiction to quilting and my honey introducing me to online selling through eBay. Now I spend plenty of time looking for fabrics at a reasonable price to pass on to my buyers. My quilting legacy: I have also perfected the stitch that I call "Drunken Sailor". It is when I try to stitch in the ditch and can't seem to sew a straight line. I guess that is why Paula Nadelstern is such an inspiration to me. People ask how I chose the name Elaine's Attic. I chose it for two reasons: 1. Quilters Anonymous was already taken and is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving the quilting heritage. 2. I was named after my aunt. (Shhhh...our secret) |

During London's Olympic summer, sport lifted a nation |
Once upon a time, the United Kingdom shone with stories of sporting greatness.
Once upon a time, Londoners flipped to the back of their newspapers knowing a story would make them smile.
Yes, a lot has changed in the six weeks since the end of London's Olympic summer. The gold of summer has turned to Autumnal dust.
Today, as I pick up a London paper off a subway seat, I flinch. I already know the back sports pages will echo the sadness found at the front.
During the games, it was different. The sports headlines in the UK were crammed full of feel good stories whether this was Uganda's Stephen Kiprotich suprise marathon win, Usain Bolt's outrageous showmanship or young Ellie Simmonds' determination in the pool.
Sport was being celebrated for what it should be – escapism, fun, exercise, competition.
However, as we waved a sad farewell to the Olympics and Paralympics, the joy of sport decided to hitch a lift to Rio and disappear with his two new friends.
Goodbye Jessica Ennis, hello John Terry! Farewell Michael Phelps, howdy Lance Armstrong! Adios golden summer, welcome back battle against racism!
Carried away?
This negativity is nothing new. This year Terry and Armstrong have simply replaced Luis Suarez and FIFA corruption.
While the media undoubtedly has a public responsibility to reflect wrong doings in sport, it is worth questioning whether sometimes journalists get a little carried away. Because rather than using sport to boost the public, the press, persists in highlighting the depressing, dark and miserable side of their world.
I'm fed up with this type of sports coverage - but guilty of it too.
Of course, as a sports journalist, I have covered many negative stories but it isn't my natural inclination to do so. There is a growing pressure to follow suit. If everyone else is obsessing over racism and doping, should I?
Perhaps not.
Because there are millions of sad tired faces on the streets of the UK's cities and I want sport to cheer them up. Because one of the few refuges we have from life's pressures should be protected and not twisted into news.
Because I want to write about sport. And fun stuff!
Surely there are still people who believe sport news should be uplifting. Filled with stories of greatness like Frankel - the wonder horse who won 14 consecutive races on the weekend. This is news too. The unbeatable stallion retired as one of the greatest horses of all time but the next morning we were already back to John Terry, a Kick it Out armband and racism. How sad.
However serious the fight against racism is, the joy of sport is worth protecting too.
At the start of the week, a number of major online sports publications led with articles on racism along with pieces on Chris Kirkland (the Sheffield Wednesday goalkeeper attacked on the pitch by a Leeds fan) and Lance Armstrong. Those on Twitter around the world will be well aware of the constant stream of negative sports commentary.
Does sports coverage really need to be so deep, so hard, so consuming?
More importantly, will positive changes be inspired by such endless negativity?
Or are we being subjected to journalists trying to prove their intellect, morality and importance? Armstrong's story will rumble on and on as commentators continue to one up the next about how disgraceful the whole thing is. He cheated, let's move on.
Let's move on to the likes of Bradley Wiggins and Serena Williams and Lionel Messi, stars that haven't been tainted by lies, cheating and conspiracy. Sport figures who open the door to great news stories.
Yes the balance is rather complex. 'Sport' or 'news'? 'Sports news' or 'news'? 'Sport' or 'sports news'? You could argue for hours over what belongs where but sports editors should ask themselves if they have space for a bit more positivity.
Editors should be producing articles with the weary commuter in mind and not to compete with the news editors on how serious sport can be.
I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news but when sport turns serious, real serious, it is news. And this gives us the freedom to enjoy it far more than we currently do.
(I extend my apologies for the negativity of this article and for ending on a depressing note... I will now go and write something uplifting)

Hi.I am using a hidden field to pass to formmail empty optional fields if the users let them blank.The problem is that when a user fills out one of these optional fields the hidden values adds up to the user specified value.example:
<input type="hidden" name="foo" value="not specified" /> <input type="text" name="foo" value="" />
results in
foo: not specified
when the user leaves the field blank; if the user fills out the field with the value "Hello", the final submitted value is:
foo: not specified Hello
How to remove the "not specified" string from user specified values and leave it just for empty submissions?
Thanks in advance!
I believe you are thinking about the problem backwards. Use a server side script (perl, python, php, ruby, etc.) to determine whether the form field was left blank, then send whatever value you want to your utility.
The other option is to use javascript on the client side to intercept the form before it is sent to the server, and then use javascript to assign whatever value you want to the form field.
Though be aware that someone like me would slip through that— I don't get hit by JS validation cause I have it off. It would have to be a "nice extra" regarding form validation.
I'm already using a perl script to submit the form data and javascript to perform form validation. I'm speaking about optional fields. I would like an answer for the server side part of coding. That's why I started this thread here. I hope somebody can tell me how do that server side in perl.
Probably because since you have two 'foo' fields, the param data arriving at formmail.pl is an array.
$params{foo} = ['not specified','Hello'] #pseudo, not sure if this is the actual internal representation
When an array is printed
print "@array"
you end up with a space-separated string of items.You'd probably have to patch your formmail.pl to prevent against this. I've not looked at its internals.
Hi, Jawsoflife. Thanks for the hint.
How can I modify the code below in a way that if $name= "foo" only the second parameter is sent if this is not empty?
subroutine building main email field:
sub send_main_email_field { my ($self, $name, $value) = @_; my ($prefix, $line) = $self->build_main_email_field($name, $value); my $nl = ($self->{CFG}{double_spacing} ? "\ " : "\ "); if ($self->{CFG}{wrap_text} and length("$prefix$line") > $self->email_wrap_columns) { $self->mailer->print( $self->wrap_field_for_email($prefix, $line) . $nl ); } else { $self->mailer->print("$prefix$line$nl"); } }
where this is the subroutine returning name and value pairs:
sub build_main_email_field { my ($self, $name, $value) = @_; return ("$name: ", $value); }
Hard to see from here - I have no idea what code is handling your cgi parameter untainting and such. I would filter this at the part where you start processing the parameters sent to your backend.
Let's say your default 'undef' string is "not specified", then you could do
#pseudo! foreach my $param ( keys %cgi_params ) { $cgi_params{$param} = ref $param eq 'ARRAY' # is this an arrayref ? grep $_ != 'not specified', @$param #filter out all items that are not 'undef', should be 1 item : $param # what we expected ; }
which should make you end up with $cgi_params{foo} being 'Hello', from the previous post.
I hope this points you in the right direction. Otherwise feel free to PM me with more code so I can flesh out how your backend works.
Best of luck!

Is Barack Obama the Vladimir Lenin of American Presidents? No, Lenin was competent in an evil sort of way. Obama is more like Leonid Brezhnev: an ultra left-wing, belligerent doofus who isn't laughed at by the general population primarily because the mainstream media liberals say nice things about him out of fear that they'll end up in a gulag if they're too harsh. Of course, we don't have gulags, but reporters who criticize Obama would be snubbed by their peers at cocktail parties in Manhattan and Old Town, which seems almost as bad to liberals. This is how a narcissist who scores at "Nixon after Watergate" on the presidential likability scale can be perceived by much of the public as a long suffering, bipartisan nice guy. The real picture is less Van Gogh and is more Andy Warhol, if Andy Warhol were a five year old coloring with cow dung crayons.
1) Obama NEVER stops campaigning: Barack Obama almost seems disinterested in actually governing the country. Apparently the only thing he does passably well is campaign; so he has just decided to do that. His agenda, from Obamacare, to free birth control, to amnesty for illegals has nothing to do with the country's immediate problems and everything to do with politics. This is a big part of the reason that Washington has become even more nonfunctional than usual under Obama -- because he ALWAYS acts as if there's an election next week and winning it by trying to make the GOP look bad is his first priority.
2) What he says is completely unrelated to what he does: Barack Obama is like an alcoholic who pledges to quit drinking and then gets hammered every night. Afterwards, his doting family full of enablers (played by the part of the mainstream media) pats him on the back and talks about what a great example he is for other people because he pledged to quit drinking. This is how Barack Obama can demand a sequester and then turn around and run against it or yammer on incessantly about transparency while he stonewalls on Fast and Furious. We're talking about a man who's worth nearly 10 million dollars, who has campaign events with celebrities and millionaires on a regular basis, and who just seems to squeeze in a little bit of work in between lavish vacations and golf outings with Tiger Woods; yet he spent most of last year campaigning against rich people. This is almost like listening to Bill Maher complain about loud mouth know-nothings who regularly say incredibly stupid things just for shock value.
3) He works overtime to pit Americans against each other: Barack Obama's entire campaign strategy -- and don't forget, he's always campaigning -- is based on convincing different groups of Americans to hate each other. He tries to convince black and Hispanic Americans that Republicans hate them for their skin color, gays that Republicans hate them for their sexuality, women that the GOP is pro-rape, poor people that the rich are taking all their money, people who've had children killed that gun owners are in favor of their children dying -- it just goes on and on. There have been campaigns of genocide across the world that have featured less vitriolic rhetoric against the people who were murdered than Barack Obama and Company have engaged in since he became President. Then they turn around and wonder why Republicans in Congress have trouble working with them. Go figure.
4) His hypocrisy on bipartisanship never ends: Politics is a brass-knuckled street fight in a phone booth and if you want a friend in Washington, get a dog or alternately, if you're Robert Menendez, you hire an underage Dominican prostitute. What's so frustrating about Barack Obama is that he's as much of a diehard partisan as Rachel Maddow or Chris Matthews, but he never stops yapping about the importance of bipartisanship. This is a man who has done everything short of screaming, "Screw you, Republicans," over and over at the State of the Union and he keeps talking about putting "party before country." It would be nice if he ever did that himself. Once. Ever. In his entire presidency. But, we're still waiting.
5) He's such a liar: Calling a politician a liar is a little bit like calling the Occupy Movement lazy and violent. It just sort of goes with the territory. But, even in a profession known for lying, Obama is the lyingest liar ever to spew lies out of his lie hole because he is allowed to get away with it. Obama's coverage by the press is like that movie, The Invention Of Lying, where the main character is the first person on the planet to ever figure out how to lie and everyone simply takes whatever he says at face value. In this case, the part of "everyone" is played by the mainstream media which starts with the uncritical assumption that Obama is always right, good, and truthful, while the people who disagree with him are mean, partisan liars. Obama could sacrifice a child to Satan at a press conference tomorrow, get ripped for it by Republicans, and the headlines would read, "Republicans Accuse The President Of Child Murder. Have They No Shame?" Afterwards, Obama would blame the child sacrifice on Bush and wed have weeks of Republicans and Satan team up to wage war on children stories in the media.
It's all true. 0bama lies, lies about lying and then lies about lying about his lies.
Great in this one, is this one Farce!
Hammer meets nail, as they say.
...is that today's 5 reasons?
Don't underestimate the evil genius of Brezhnev. He created the"Brezhnev Doctrine" which is still in effect but on a smaller scale (i.e. Russian troops in Georgia; interference in the Ukraine; killing of dissidents around the world; arms shipments to allies despite NATO protests, etc).
He also kept the gulags going. Invaded Czechoslovakia in 1968, aided North Vietnam in their war with unlimited supplies (which eventually helped Hanoi to win), and used Soviet Bloc satellite secret police to carry out his subversion and assassinations both within their countries and overseas.
Obama is also evil but in a different way. He's a sociopath, a narcissist par excellance, delusional, and ignorant about functional economics, but he is a hardcore Communist, not just a Marxist. He's an Alinsky accolade, a domestic red if you will, not a Moscow toadie.
However, he believes in and lives "class warfare", and has hired the best of the Left to wage it, quite successfully if you look at what he has done to the healthcare industry, the energy industry, environmental regulations, diesel fuel vehicle pollution and mileage regulations, stopping the Trans-US Pipeline from Canada, closing coal-fired power plants through overregulation; closing nuclear power plants by the same form of harassment; and most insidiously, using the IRS as his personal Gestapo/KGB.
By hiding tons of taxes and penalties within Obamacare, and making the IRS his enforcement army re Roberts' stupid Supreme Court decision (Obamacare is a tax, not a penalty), Obama has seized total control of one of the most crucial and vulnerable segments of the American economy, and of one's personal medical lifeline industries.
He is using it to control, strangle, and if necessary, to destroy one's life.
His other actions in this same vein include the Bloomberg attempts to control what you eat, in what quantities, and where. Michele is his weapon here as is Bloomberg.
The same is happening in farming, fishing, and eventually, electronic communications (cable TV, the internet, the air waves).
Obama learned well from his Communist mentors (some from the Communist Party USA and its supporters, others from assorted marxist groups and causes). Names of these people include Frank Marshall Davis; Soviet asset David S. Canter; perhaps Canter's partner Don Rose - both of whom mentored David Axelrod; Valerie Jarrett who has some reds in the family closet; Alice Palmer and husband, both sympathetic to the CPUSA and the Soviet Union; Bernadine Dohrn and Bill Ayers, Weathermen terrorists; Rabbi Arnold Wolfe, a veteran leftist on the marxist side; Rev. Jeremiah Wright, who has swung from being a moslem, to a christian, to a marxist, and everywhere inbetween (now a key friend of Louis Farrakhan).
Obama got his Healthcare program from an old CPUSA member Dr. Quentin Young (later in the Democratic Socialists of America, along with Milton Cohen, former CPUSA). The DSA adopted the Cloward-Piven and Alinsky ideologies and tactics, taught it to Obama and his friends and organizations, and still guide Obama's thinking and tactics.
Obama is not the brightest bulb in the store, but like the curly new pieces of crap lightbulbs the environmental wackos push on us, he and it contain a poison. With the light bulb it is Mercury; with Obama it is a marxist hatred of the free enterprise system, a hatred of imperialist, colonialist America, of black extremist hatred of white people (though he is half-white and half-African, not Black-American).
He is determined to emasculate America until it is a second or third rate power, wherein his Red Chinese friends can make their move for eventually world domination. He won't even put two aircraft carriers on permanent station in the China Sea, or two in the Middle East.
Eventually you will see Red Chinese aircraft carriers and subs staking claim to the South China/China Sea, the waters around Japan, So. Korea, Malaysia, the Gulf of Tonkin, and the Philippines.
With our shipping/trading routes squeezed there and eventually choked, we will suffer tremendous economic damage and decline.
Obama knows exactly what he is doing and he has hired the best and brightest Communists/Marxists/Socialists, corrupt crony capitalists, incredibly stupid but ego-ambitious cabinet secretaries and closet fascists to run his campaigns, his offices, his regulatory agencies, DOJ, and the Cabinet.
For the military, Secy of Defense, State, Joint Chiefs of Staff, CIA, etc., he has chosen the most incompetent, leftist, and/or weak-willed clowns in American history.
All we have to say is Benghazi, Syria, Libya, Tunisia, Egypt-Moslem Brotherhood, Hezbullah, Hamas, the Taliban, etc. We have not beaten any of these extremist movements or governments while selling out the freedom-seekers of the Arab Spring (if there were any legit groups), the Chinese Spring, Honduras and Columbia, with Israel next in line.
Latin America is now RED (Venezuela, Bolivia, Ecuador, El Salvador, Nicaragua), with Costa Rica being neutered, and Argentina slowly evolving back into a marxist/Peronist dictatorship. Cuba is still Red. Haiti is still a mess.
Our borders are open to drugs, terrorists, and illegal immigrants. Nothing has changed and previous attempts to seal off the border with Mexico have been subverted to the point of rendering that program useless.
Fast and Furious. Benghazigate. Mediagate. Gun Control efforts to disarm lawful Americans.
Never underestimate the ability of a megalomaniac with Marxist training/ideologies to succeed when you think he can't. He can and he has!
6) He vacations with Reggie Love as his special guest, separately from his wife and OFF LIMITS to the press. Hint hint.

Great stuff! Spot on, as they say. I was going to link it to my FB page for my liberal friends to rant about, but when I went to the original Townhall site, there was an enormous splash ad across the screen ... with no visible way to get rid of it. Talk about a turn off! I guess I won't be linking it to FB anyway. (No matter how much my lib friends need to hear this!!!)
Try clicking on the "X" in the upper right corner of the splash.
Pinging a few who I hope will read your comment.
Actually, we have our own little Robert Mugabe ensconced in the White House. Look how their policies are similar in confiscating from those who produce to give to those who don't.
Maybe he will get around to evicting producers from their high paying jobs so his coterie can go in and give it a try. We can see how well that worked in Zimbabwe. And we can see the same destiny emerging here.

Great analysis, MadMax.
Your point about South America is good. WE don;t hear too much about it what is happening there, other than that Barack is in league with the Commie who runs Brazil.
But I think, concerning the original article, we are past "creep".
We are well into "traitor".
BIZARRE: White House releases statement on breakup of Barack Obama and his boyfriend Reggie Love
The White House today issued a historic and unprecedented press release where a male President of the United States has announced his breakup with a male staffer and longtime lover.
In the press release, the term body man is used instead of boyfriend, lover, paramour, special friend, f***buddy, or all sorts of other appropriate vocabulary. But, if youre someone who hasnt been in a coma for the last couple of years, you know the real deal.
Barack Obama is more like Elton John than the White House admits in the press release.
Elton John was married to a woman for a while a long time ago. The first time he sang Dont Go Breaking My Heart, it was with Kiki Dee. He hid who he really was, and how many guys hed date, for a very long time; that was for the purposes of his career, no doubt.
And then, finally, when he accomplished everything he wanted to do musically, he came out of the closet and started throwing huge, fabulous parties all over the world with lots of hunks in speedos and sparkle, sparkle, SPARKLE everywhere. You just gotta love that.
I agree with your opinions and they should be distributed further than Free Republic.
Everyone reading this post (and the article itself) should email the link and the original article to all on their mailing list................I did.
Thanks for your "right on the nail" post.
If this marxist punk isn't a closet fag then the sun doesn' come up in the east
Do I need to say more?
All to bring about utopia, as was attempted in the bloodbath that was the 20th century.
This isn't stupidity. It's evil.
Reagan had it right.
Obama is more like Leonid Brezhnev: an ultra left-wing, belligerent doofus who isn't laughed at by the general population primarily because the mainstream media liberals say nice things about him out of fear that they'll end up in a gulag if they're too harsh.
A reminder: much of what was going on during Brezhnev's time was really being run behind the scenes by Andropov, a true diabolical genius.
Which raises the question—who is really pulling the strings in Comrade Obamsky's kremlin?
I'm voting comrades Billy and Bernadine, who interned under Andropov.
See my blog post "100+ Disgusting Revelations from Barack Obama":
Thanks, I bookmarked it
If so, should we credit Dr. Ben Carson and his speech at the National Prayer Breakfast? Was that the pebble that starting rolling down the mountain hitting other pebbles? If we end up with an avanlanche, was that the start?
Excellent analysis, MadMax, the Grinning Reaper....
If so, should we credit Dr. Ben Carson and his speech at the National Prayer Breakfast?
We need more Ben Carsons who aren't afraid to stand up in front of the Holy Oreo and speak truth.
God, I miss Breitbart.

Has America Been Defeated Without a Shot Being Fired?
My Nightmare | Sept. 26, 2008 | RetSignman
Posted on Sunday, September 28, 2008 12:26:02 PM by RetSignman
Benjamin Franklin said we have given you a Republic if you can hold on to it. In the midst of the financial ruin, the corruption of our leaders, the endemic voter fraud and the worldwide destruction of the faith in America, we are done. The open abuse of the press has violated the very foundation of Freedom of the Press and is nothing more than a propaganda machine geared towards abject (socialism) for this country.
President Reagan's policy destroyed the Soviet Union by crippling their economy and bringing them to their knees, is it unrealistic, to see this is exactly what we are now seeing in America? The only factor missing is who is behind our destruction. Is it the reemergence of the Soviet Union or a combination of many exterior forces including the useful idiots of members of our own Congress? The face behind our destruction and defeat is a shadowy figure that will never be seen until our country is on its knees. The useful idiots will be brushed aside and the face will be revealed for all to see.
I have always been a person who has looked at the glass as being half full, I have taken heart in our small victory's of revealing political malfeasance in office only to see them remain in power. I have seen the people we have elected and believed in, go to Washington and become nothing more than washed out shell of why we elected them.. I have been naive in believing that our country would always be on the side of right and our that our Constitution would never be abridged. I, naively, believed that if we were on the edge of destruction, true patriots would emerge and fight back and save our nation. I have seen none, they are not there, all we have are politicians with their main goal is self, clutching to their power as a child would of his security blanket.
The final nail has been driven into the heart of our Republic when the our Congress, the protectors of our Constitution, the only fire wall we have to protect this Republic, bowed down on it's knees to the alter of (socialism). They have ripped apart the very essence of the Constitution and rendered it just ancient paper with words of Patriots with hopes and dreams for our Republic. We have betrayed their trust, we have stood by silently and watched the incremental destruction of our country and put our future in the hands of the spineless, the power hungry, the undeserving and the corrupt.
Now that we are at our most vulnerable with our economy in shambles, the faith in our government shattered, the shadowy figures that harbor hatred towards our way of life can strangle the final breath out of this Republic.

Since I posted the above in 2008, events have escalated to the point, that the words socialism can now be replaced with communism. Obama is the long awaited 'candidate' of the communist 40+ years plan to destroy our Republic.
Nah. Just distraction so the Red Coats can continue their assault on our freedoms and libery.
To watch Obama's body language during that 27 minutes was to understand everything. VERY uncomfortable. At the end, he had his Sh*t Eating grin on his face. . . the one reserved for when he is really p*ssed.
SOUND FAMILIAR The Perons bankrupted Argentina, took savage, total power by taking money from the rich-----and letting Evita give the money to the poor, in numerous publicized "acts of charity."
Evita traveled around in luxurious designer fashions, furs and lavish jewels. Movie star Lana Turner saw Evita adopt her look and hair styles---and was alarmed when her jewelry confiscated so that Evita could get it copied.
Mrs O At Oscars--a "Creepy South American totalitarian-lite vibe." Did she really belong there?
NYPost quotes Walter Kirn of the liberal journal, The New Republic: seeing Obama lavishly gowned, replete with jewels, and, of all things, military guards, was a "Creepy South American totalitarian-lite vibe...."
NY Post opined: "Even President Ronald Reagan never busted in live on the Oscars, and Reagan was an actual movie star, academy member, and former president of the Screen Actors Guild. (Reagan taped a non-self-aggrandizing enjoy the show welcome for the March 30, 1981, Oscars which had to be delayed because he was shot that very day.)" (EXCERPT--NYP Oscar Review 2/26)
PARA-MILITARY OBAMA DEMOCRATS ON THE MARCH Obama campaigned on the "need" for a strong tax-funded civilian para-military force......b/c he needs military strongmen to advance his secret anti-American agenda.
Dr Carson is a professional physician
Barack Obama is a professional Negro
FN - thanks for the ping to MadMax's comments.
I can disagree with nothing.
I would add a couple of things, though.
1. His promotion of homosexual "rights" including in the military; this is extremely destructive in every way.
2. The fact that he is not eligible for various reasons and his real parentage and identity is actually "unknown" as every bit of documentation (and precious scarce it is) is forged.
I would like to see the utter, contemptible and tragic failure of any Republicans or anyone - hello, ANYONE??? - to seriously oppose him, addressed. Are they ALL blackmailed/threatened/terrified into acquiencense?
Yeah, but not even Baghdad Bob Beckel the Buffalo-Breath Bloviating Bolshevik lies as much as 0bama. No one lies as much or as stupidly as 0bamugabe.
Very well said.
If it's good for me, I'll go along with it. If it's not, I'll just keep my mouth shut.

The next act in the battle between Amazon Web Services and IBM for the opportunity to develop a cloud computing infrastructure for the CIA, the NSA and the rest of intelligence community opens Oct. 7, and the stakes could hardly be higher.
The U.S. Court of Federal Claims will decide whether the Government Accountability Office was right in June when it sustained IBM's bid protest against AWS's $600 million contract award from the CIA in early 2013. Following GAO's ruling, which directed the CIA to reopen negotiations and rebid the contract, AWS filed a complaint essentially asking the court to overturn the decision.
Oral arguments begin Monday – assuming the government shutdown does not affect the court docket – and Judge Thomas Wheeler will preside over a case that may have repercussions across the technology space. A decision is expected in mid-October.
Amazon files court complaint over CIA cloud deal
Amazon rips GAO, IBM in lawsuit over CIA cloud deal
Inside the IBM/Amazon protest
Amazon and CIA ink cloud deal
Of course, money is on the line. A half-billion dollars and change is a lot of money in cloud revenue, and it's a particularly significant sum in the federal sector, where most agencies have yet to utilize cloud for more than the most rudimentary IT services.
Yet far more than money is at stake between these two tech behemoths.
Reputations matter, especially in Washington, where they play an immeasurable but important role in deal-making. IBM has a well-established track record as a contractor to civilian, defense and intelligence agencies, but AWS's aggressive foray into the federal cloud computing market suggests the landscape may be shifting.
Whichever company receives the award gets instant fed-cred. If IBM snatches the first-of-its-kind deal with the CIA away from AWS, Big Blue proves its staying power in an ever-changing tech arena; if AWS lands the contract, it will have proven itself a player, forcing its way into a market ripe with opportunities.
This is not lost on the leaders of both companies' federal efforts.
"It's always good to have people who are perceived as competition, it pushes all of us to do better things," AWS Vice President of Worldwide Public Sector Teresa Carlson told FCW in an interview. "We are moving the cheese. We're trying to look at IT differently."
Carlson said "new-school" approaches to IT such as pay-as-you-use service can lower costs and drive mission success. AWS attacked the cloud computing market early on and hasn't let up since.
IBM's Anne Altman, meanwhile, told FCW that the company has six years of experience in cloud computing and isn't the cloud newbie it's sometimes made out to be. IBM also has decades of experience working for the government, which Altman said helps separate it from challengers in the federal cloud market, especially in the high-stakes game of intelligence data.
"Experience is something to think of, and we have served some of the most mission critical environments for a long time," said Altman, who is general manager of IBM's U.S. federal business. She added that IBM would not have to "learn on the job."
The CIA accepted new bids from both companies in August, but the agency is waiting until the Claims Court ruling to disclose a decision. The new bids from AWs and IBM likely differ significantly from the bids they put forth in 2012 when the CIA first announced it was seeking a cloud solution.
Since FCW first reported the CIA's award to AWS in March and IBM's subsequent bid protest in May, both companies' bid figures and technical specs were put in the public spotlight -- not to mention each other's.
AWS has since added more than 150 new services to its repertoire, including Glacier storage, for rarely accessed data, and Redshift, its petabyte-scale cloud-based data warehouse. And in May it received certification under Federal Risk Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) certification, the government's rigorous cloud computing security standards.
IBM hasn't been idle, either.
Big Blue made a huge $2 billion move to purchase SoftLayer Technologies, the world's largest privately held cloud computing infrastructure. IBM's federal team expects SoftLayer's acquisition to mitigate the apparent gap between IBM's and AWS's technical solutions as noted by GAO's formal bid protest ruling. In its ruling, GAO said the CIA chose AWS over IBM – despite IBM offering a cheaper solution – because AWS offered a "superior technical solution."
And the two companies have plenty of other competition in the federal cloud space as well. There are now nine FedRAMP-certified providers, with more in the pipeline. And Verizon, which provides a wide range of agencies with enterprise cloud services, on Oct. 3 announced new computing and storage offerings that promise faster deployment and better pricing. Verizon Terremark Public Sector's Chief Operation Officer Norm Laudermilch, speaking with FCW prior to the announcement, said that both services are already in the FedRAMP approval process.
For the CIA cloud deal, however, it's a two-horse race. And all eyes are on Oct. 7.

Seasoned government managers are hopeful about an innovation effort backed by the president, but they see pitfalls and the possibility of duplication.
Early self-reporting suggests that 81 percent of agencies are on track to electronically manage email records.
The head of the Defense Innovation Unit Experimental says his goal is to drive culture change in the DOD's acquisition and innovation processes rather than make DIUx the acquisition arm of the DOD.
A plan to reorganize DHS' cybersecurity directorate that stalled in Congress last year is still on the agency's agenda.
Without confirmed subcabinet officials, President Donald Trump's executive order calling for a federal government reorganization will be managed by agency chiefs and career executives.
As promised, a budget blueprint from the Trump administration prioritizes military and homeland security spending, and pays for increases with dramatic cuts to civilian agencies.

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Rajasekhara Reddy on Saturday promised good governance, indicated on experimenting with 'collective farming' and reiterated that the state capital would be converted into an international city by giving a boost to infrastructure development.
Addressing a colourful parade after unfurling the National Flag and taking salute on the occasion of 62nd Independence Day celebrations at the Parade Grounds in Secunderabad, the Chief Minister said the government would continue to give topmost priority to the flagship Jalayagnam programme and 84 irrigation projects would be constructed at a cost of over Rs 1.46 lakh crore.
'The irrigation projects will drive the state on the path of all-round progress with the agriculture sector getting a major boost,' he said, adding that the government would introduce collective farming by involving small farmers.
'We plan to take up collective farming on an experimental basis in 50 villages across the state. This scheme is totally voluntary,'' he said.
As elections to the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation are due shortly, the Chief Minister renewed his promise of converting the state capital into an international city by spending Rs 20,000 crore on infrastructure development.

What is particularly fascinating about Tsotsi for the student of Fugard's drama is the discovery of so many scenes, ideas and conversations that Fugard was later to use expanded and elaborated in his plays….
Tsotsi is evidence that had Fugard chosen a career as a novelist instead of being a playwright, he would have done important work. Here he develops at least three major characters and even more secondary ones. Tsotsi himself is a disturbing, haunting creation who remains in the reader's consciousness long after the book has been put down. The narrative strands … are cleverly interwoven…. The reader is moved by the depth of emotion with which Fugard constructs, piece by piece, the memories of childhood that return gradually to Tsotsi…. Tsotsi's unsuspected humanity and instinctive protectiveness have no tinge of that sudden, unconvincing character reversal dear to the pen of the amateur, and these scenes never...

How Do You Build A Tourism Co-Op In Boquillas, Mexico?
Tuesday, October 8, 2013
In April, we reported on a formal border crossing re-opening in West Texas. For years, thousands of tourists flocked to the tiny village of Boquillas Mexico, propping up their local economy.
Then, Sept. 11, 2001 happened. The border was unmanned, and in the name of national security it was sealed. The closed border was a crippling blow to Boquillas' economy.
But the re-opening is bringing the villagers hope.
Reporter Lorne Matalon, who has been following the story for Fronteras Desk, once again returned to Boquillas. He brought along Ernesto Hernandez, the representative for Solimar International who was featured in one of his stories.
Solimar International was awarded a $100,000 contract last year to help Boquillas, Mexico prepare for the border reopening. They have since drafted a business plan for a community-owned co-op to offer guides for backcountry trips.
In a live-to-tape interview, Hernandez discusses the challenge and hopes with Matalon on Marfa Public Radio. Take a listen:
Hernandez discusses the challenge faced by outsiders who are trying to establish a community-owned tourism cooperative.
Hear the effect outsiders coming is having on Boquillas and learn how Solimar views the villagers it is trying to help.

I did't know, but according to the posts the correct is sawed...
I did confusion with the irregular verb "To see"
Student or Learner
Sawed but that's not for sure.
I did't know, but according to the posts the correct is sawed...
I did confusion with the irregular verb "To see"
"From ghouls and ghosts and long-legged beasts and things that go bump in the night, Good Lord deliver us!"
Old Scottish Invocation
I always used "sawn", maybe it's because I'm a Britisher, but sawn always feels more natural to me than sawed, I always the "-N" ending on past participles when applicable, because, as I said, they feel more natural to me.
Also the answers are a bit strange, they start with "See", then go to "Saw" (which is OK), but then goes to "Sawn"/"Sawed", the Saw that's the past tense version of "See" is different from the "Saw" that "Sawn" and "Sawed" come from.
The two are possible ''Sawed'' or ''sawn''
I tried out the past participle options and decided that the only way I'd say this is I have cut the board. Sawed and especially sawn feel unnatural to me.
I am not a teacher.
The ngrams support my intuition that AmE uses the present perfect of to saw very rarely. It's an order of magnitude more common in BrE.
I am not a teacher.

Somali Islamists extend control
Somalias Islamists have begun consolidating their control over Mogadishu by collecting weapons from fighters loyal to the city's defeated warlords. The Islamic Courts Union now controls almost all of the country's capital and much of southern Somalia after seizing Mogadishu's main port on Wednesday. Since the capture of the port, many Somali militiamen who formerly supported the warlords have offered to surrender their weapons and work with the Islamists. We have been working with the warlords for a long time, so now it is time to give the chance (to the Islamic group), said militia commander Yusuf Iyow on Thursday. We are committed to forget the past hostilities and to work with them. The only power in Mogadishu is the Islamic Courts Union, so there is no other option open for us but to surrender. Defiance only kills people and does not create opportunities for peace, Iyow said. Interim government Separate from the Islamic Courts Union is an interim government that was formed under United Nations supervision in late 2004. The interim government has almost no influence outside the town of Baidoa, 250km (155 miles) northwest of the capital.
