The Vandenreich (見えざる帝国 (ヴァンデンライヒ), Vandenraihi; Japanese for "Invisible Empire") is a hidden empire of the Quincy. They are at war with Soul Society.[1][2]
Contents |
The Vandenreich was somehow able to survive the Quincy massacre two hundred years ago and became strong enough to challenge Soul Society.[3] Sometime after the defeat of Sōsuke Aizen, the Vandenreich conquered Hueco Mundo, capturing Tier Harribel in the process.[4] In addition, they conscripted numerous Arrancar into their service and killed many Hollows.[5][6][1]
The organizational structure of the Vandenreich is not yet clear, but there is a central monarch based out of their headquarters.[7] In his service, there are a number of underlings who follow his direct orders.
Stern Ritter
A group of elite Quincy combatants known as the Stern Ritter (星十字騎士団 (シュテルンリッター), shuterunrittā; German for "Star Knights", Japanese for "Star Cross Knight Band/Order").[8]Members of the Stern Ritter and certain other individuals within the Vandenreich military are apparently each assigned a letter of the alphabet and an appropriate epithet by Yhwach in order to designate them.[9]
There is also a separate hunting unit called the Jagdarmee (狩猟部隊 (ヤークトアルメー), yākutoarumē; German for "Hunt(ing) Army", Japanese for "Hunting Corps") of Hueco Mundo which in the wake of Hueco Mundo's conquest by the Vandenreich is entrusted with capturing Arrancar to serve the empire.[10]
The Jagdarmee is separated into numbered groups with the leader of the first Jagdarmee, the Executive Hunting Captain (統括狩猟隊長, tōkatsu shuryō taichō), is Quilge Opie.[11]
The military is comprised from a large number of skilled Soldat (聖兵 (ゾルダート), zorudāto; German for "Soldier", Japanese for "Holy Soldier(s)").[12]
There also exists a communication unit, which maintains the connection between headquarters and operational units.[8] The Vandenreich have forcefully drafted many strong Arrancar into their army,[10] but they are regarded as expendable, for Yhwach killed two of them once he deemed they had outlived their usefulness.[7]
The Vandenreich is based out of a large ice encrusted building. This building consists of a thick base with a long stairway leading up the front. On top of this are a series of thick columns supporting a thicker second tier of the building. There is a third tier above this, supported by thinner columns. Surrounding the main building are a number of ice covered round or square towers and two curved structures leaning towards each other, forming an arch-like monument at the front of the building.[13] Inside the building, Yhwach has a floating throne, behind it are a series of floating steps leading to a curtained doorway where the Espada Tier Harribel is kept prisoner.[4] Housed somewhere in the place where the Vandenreich reside is a structure called the "Gate of the Sun" (太陽の門, Taiyō no Mon), which was used to invade Soul Society.[14]

The typical attire of most Vandenreich personnel consists of a long, white, double-breasted trench coat with shoulder straps and a white, button-down bib. This coat is bound at the waist with a black belt, which is further adorned with a decorative buckle, and is worn over both white trousers and trench boots. Many members also sport white hats with black peaks and a crest emblazoned on its front, which is reminiscent of the five-pointed variant of the Quincy cross. This insignia is also reflected upon the buttons of their other apparel.[19] Some higher-ranking members pair this uniform with other additional pieces of clothing, such as capes or cloaks, to distinguish themselves.[20] The Stern Ritter wear a distinctive white, ankle-length cloak over their uniform that features the Vandenreich insignia emblazoned on its back and often, a hood attached to the cloak's collar.[21] Apart from the standard uniform, a Soldat's attire consists of a military beret, black goggles with white lenses and a gas mask that obscures their entire face, as well as a short, collared cloak.[12]
In certain instances, personnel have been observed wearing a simplified version of the usual Vandenreich uniform, which lacks the normal button-down bib and belt.[22] Those who took part in the declaration of war upon Soul Society sported this specific variation, as well as a hooded cape that featured a black mask in order to obscure their face and a black band diagonally encircling their body.[23]
Vandenreich Equipment
Medallion: A number of those within the Vandenreich military, including all members of the Stern Ritter, carry on their person a round, unnamed device that is roughly the size of a person's palm and has the Vandenreich insignia etched into its surface. When activated, this device is capable of stealing a single currently released Bankai in the immediate vicinity.[24] According to Yhwach the ability to steal a Shinigami's Bankai depends on the level of the medallion wielders Reiryoku.[25]
Once stolen, the medallion's owner can then proceed to use the taken Bankai's power at will,[26] even after the original owner's death.[27] However, they appear unable to exploit this power fully, as according to what Yamamoto experienced, Driscoll Berci's use of Kōkō Gonryō Rikyū was noticeably inferior to that of its true owner, Chōjirō Sasakibe.[28]
- Daten (情報 (ダーテン), dāten; German for "Data", Japanese for "Information/(Military) Intelligence"): A word used to define the exhaustive data collected by the Vandenreich on the opposition's forces, which has been distributed to all essential personnel.[29] Parts of this intelligence include details on those considered to be "Special War Powers" and those in possession of Bankai.[30]
- Medalize (星章化 (メダライズ), medaraizu; Japanese for "Star-Emblemize"): This term is used to describe the process that the Vandenreich uses to steal Bankai.[31]
Special War Powers
In their war with Soul Society, the Vandenreich have placed particular emphasis on five so called "Special War Powers" (特記戦力, tokki senryoku), who they believe will play a pivotal role in deciding the ultimate outcome of the war itself.[14] Such is the importance of these powers that the temporary detainment of just one, prompted the Vandenreich to begin the invasion of Soul Society due simply to their guaranteed absence.[8] Sōsuke Aizen was asked to join the Vandenreich as one of the special war powers, but he turned down the offer.[32]

What To Do With Your Counterclaims
General Information
Before you decide to file a counterclaim, you must have already completed your Answer. The court will not accept a counterclaim without an Answer (they can be filed at the same time, however). A counterclaim is a lawsuit brought by the defendant against a plaintiff in an existing lawsuit. These instructions and forms will help you decide whether you can or should file counterclaims against your landlord, and how to do that.
The counterclaims included in this form are listed below. If the category applies to you, read each paragraph and, on the Counterclaims form, check the boxes that apply. If the category does not apply to you, move on to the next category. The categories are as follows:
- Retaliation
- Illegal Discrimination
- Health or Safety Violations
- Illegal Eviction -Shut Off
- Illegal Eviction - Lock Out
- Destruction of Property
- Wrongful Distraint
- Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress
- Other Counterclaims
Deciding Between Affirmative Defenses and Counterclaims
The first three categories in the list above are the same as the Affirmative Defenses listed in the Answer form. You can make these claims as either a defense, a counterclaim, or both. The difference between a defense and a counterclaim is sometimes confusing. The main difference is in what you can ask for as a result of the landlord's actions. Below are some things to consider when you are deciding whether to file a counterclaim.
For both defenses and counterclaims, the amount your rent is reduced or how much money you are awarded if you win is directly related to the harm you have suffered. This is called your "damages." To be awarded damages you must be able to prove that you have been harmed. If you have strong evidence showing how your landlord has harmed you, you should consider filing a counterclaim.
If you choose to file a counterclaim, you may have to pay a filing fee, which you will lose if you do not prove your case (there is more information on filing fees below).
Filing Fees
If you choose to file a counterclaim, you will be asked to pay a $75.00 filing fee. If you receive public assistance (welfare, SSI, etc.) or you are on a fixed income or in a low paying job, you should ask the court clerk for an "Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis" (IFP) form. If the Court approves your IFP application, you will be allowed to file without paying the fee or by paying a reduced fee.
You can also get an "IFP Form" at the clerk's office when you file your Answer and Counterclaims.
The IFP Application form asks for information about your income and expenses and can be completed in a few minutes. If you fill out the form online, the Court's website will do the math for you. However, you can't save the form, so you will have to finish filling it out and then print it. You can also print the form and fill it out by hand later.
Submit the IFP Application form with your other papers, and the clerk will make his or her decision about the filing fee at that time. The filing fee is $75.00 no matter how many counterclaims you make.
Completing the Caption
Like all court papers, your counterclaims have a caption at the top so the court knows where to file them.
- Next to (a), write in the name of the County in which the Complaint was filed.
- Next to (b), write in the docket number if you know it.
- Next to (c), write in the your landlord's name as it appears on the Complaint.
- next to (d), write in your name as it appears on the Complaint.
Making the Claims
Each of the different counterclaims you can bring is identified on the counterclaim form in bold letters with a check box to the left. For each counterclaim that applies to you, check the box next to the title and check any other boxes or fill in the blanks in that section that apply.
There are additional sentences in each counterclaim section. The first sentence is a legal formality. Each counterclaim must state that there has been some harm or damage done. There is also a sentence that states a claim for Consumer Fraud violations. This is because most violations of a tenant's rights are also consumer fraud violations. The consumer fraud laws protect you against unfair or deceptive acts or practices of your landlord.
1. Retaliation
Tenants are protected against retaliation from their landlords. Specifically, there are three things that tenants have the right to do that are a defense to eviction: complain to your landlord about unhealthy or unsafe conditions in your home, complain to a government agency about these problems, participate in a tenants' union. If you believe that you are being evicted because you did any of these things, check this box on the Counterclaims form.
If you have suffered harm as a result of your landlord illegally retaliating against you, then check the box next to the type of activity in which you participated. You should be prepared to prove how the landlord's retaliation hurt you. For example, if your landlord caused you mental distress, you can prove that by testifying about how you felt and through witnesses with whom you had conversations at this time.
2. Illegal Discrimination
Not all bad treatment is discrimination, and not all discrimination is illegal. A landlord who treats all tenants badly, but treats them all equally, is not discriminating. Bad treatment is only illegal if the landlord treats you differently because of your race, color, national origin, sex (including sexual harassment), sexual orientation, religion, age, marital status, disability, family status (the fact that you have children), or receipt of public assistance (including housing, ReachUp, SSI, SSDI, Food Stamps or other programs).
Some housing is not subject to all fair housing laws. For example, there is an exception when the building is a duplex or triplex and the landlord or member of his or her immediate family lives in the building. In Burlington, owner-occupied duplexes are exempted from fair housing laws.
To prove a case of discrimination, you will need good evidence. Your word will usually not be enough. Good evidence includes witnesses who saw or heard the discrimination, people who were treated better than you, and complaint letters you wrote and responses from your landlord. Consider the following before you decide to sue your landlord for discrimination.
- Has your landlord or one of his employees treated you differently based on one of the reasons listed in bold in the first paragraph above?
- Is the landlord's or employee's action related to this eviction, your ability to get maintenance done on your apartment, or anything else having to do with your housing situation? If you answered "yes" to the questions above, will you be able to prove this?
- If you answered "yes" to all questions above, check the box in front of Illegal Discrimination, check the box or boxes that best describe the basis for the descrimination , and describe what happened in the blanks.
3. Habitability Violations (Unhealthy or Unsafe Conditions)
There are four questions to consider if you want to sue your landlord because there are bad conditions in your home.
1. Are there conditions in your home that are unsafe or that make it unfit for you to live there? Is your landlord not complying with Vermont's Rental Housing Health Code or other building regulations?
If you have questions about whether a specific bad condition at your home is a health or safety violation, look at our Right to Safe, Healthful Housing page. This page explains your right to safe, healthful housing and has links to Vermont State rules about health and safety and other useful housing health and safety websites. You can also read Renting in Vermont. or call Vermont Tenants at 864-0099 or 1-800-287-7971 or call Vermont Legal Aid at (800) 889-2047 for more information.
2. Have you given your landlord written or verbal notice of the problems?
3. Have the bad conditions at the home you rent seriously affected your family's health or safety?
4. If you answered "yes" to the questions above, do you have evidence, in addition to your own testimony, which will help you to prove these claims in court?
If you answered "yes" to all four numbered questions above, you can check the box next to the habitability counterclaim. You can still check this box and file a counterclaim even if you didn't answer "yes" to all of the questions, but your chances of success will be reduced.
In the space provided on the form, list bad conditions in your home, starting with the worst problem.
4. Illegal Eviction - Shut Off
Check this box if your landlord shut off any or all of your utilities without your permission or told the utility company to shut any of them off. Write a brief description of what the landlord did, which utilities were shut off, and the approximate dates that you were without the utility service.
5. Illegal Eviction - Lock Out
Check this box if the landlord acted to make it impossible for you to get into your home, such as changing locks or nailing the door shut. Write a brief description of the actions the landlord took, giving approximate dates, if you can, that you were not able to enter your home.
6. Destruction of Property
Check this box if your landlord damaged or destroyed any of your property.
7. Taking My Property (Also known as Wrongful Distraint)
Check this box if your landlord tried to prevent you from getting to some of your property, such as by holding it for back rent or by not allowing you onto the property to pick it up. Write a brief description of the property and explain what the landlord did to keep you from getting your property. Give the approximate dates that these events happened.
8. Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress
Check this box if your landlord did outrageous things that caused you distress. Examples of this include changing your locks, repeatedly confronting you in an abusive or threatening way, sexually harassing you, or not fixing serious health or safety hazards for long periods of time. This could even include a utility shut-off or lock-out if it was done in a manner which is especially mean-spirited.
List the specific things the landlord did, including approximate dates, along with a description of the effects of these actions on you and your family. For example, did you seek counseling, did you have physical symptoms because of them (trouble sleeping or eating, etc.).
9. Other Counterclaims
These instructions and the Counterclaims form include specific information on the most common counterclaims in a landlord-tenant case. It is possible that you have another counterclaim against your landlord. One example is a claim for "betterments." If you did substantial work on the rental property and this work improved the value of the property (for instance, you added a deck), you may ask the court to require your landlord to reimburse you.
Another example of an "other counterclaim" would be a claim for personal injury. You should raise this as a counterclaim if you wish to try to collect damages from your landlord as a result of your injury. If you suffered serious personal injuries you should consult with an experienced personal injury attorney.
If you wish to bring a counterclaim that falls in the category of "other," describe your claim here, including how your landlord harmed you and what you want the court to do.
Claims For Relief
This is the section of your Counterclaim form where you tell the court what you want. In deciding which boxes to check, you need to think about what kind of outcome would satisfy you.
"Compensatory damages" is what the court awards you to make up for the actual amount of money that you are owed back from the landlord because of his actions. You should be ready to prove that he owes you this amount with receipts, or other documents or testimony.
You can also ask for an amount to compensate you for "pain and suffering." It may not be easy to put a dollar value on things like "distress"; however, the more accurate you are in estimating the value of your loss, the more likely you are to recover that amount.
"Judgement for triple damages for my landlord's violation of the Consumer Fraud Act" If the court finds that the landlord violated the Consumer Fraud Act the Court may award you triple damages. If you would like the court to consider this, check the box.
"The Court does not award attorneys' fees to the Plaintiff"
You should check this box to ask the court not to order you to pay for your landlord's attorney's fees and court costs.
"Order the landlord to repair any defective conditions in my apartment and decrease past and/or future rent to reflect the true value of the premises until all repairs are made"
If your home has serious health and safety violations and you would like to ask the court to order your landlord to fix these problems and reduce your rent until the problems are fixed, check this box.
"Any other relief the Court decides is necessary and just under the circumstances"
Checking this box gives the Court the power to grant any other relief that would be just under the circumstances, not limited to the specific relief you are asking for. Check this box.
Signatures and Certification
It is very important that you sign and date your Counterclaims. If you are filing on behalf of your family, only the person filling it out needs to sign. Be sure to fill in the date you are filing your Answer, sign and print your name. Make it easy for the Court to reach you by including your mailing address and a phone number where you can be reached. If the Court cannot get in touch with you easily, you may miss important deadlines or hearings.
The certification is the proof that you have mailed or delivered a copy of your completed Answer to the person named in the summons. This is typically the landlord's lawyer or the landlord herself if she doesn't have a lawyer. Fill in that person's name and full address in the spaces provided.
What To Do With Your Counterclaims
You should follow the same filing directions for your counterclaims form as with your answer form. Make two copies of your counterclaims. File the original form (the one that you signed) with the clerk of the Superior Court for the county in which the case was brought within 20 days from the day you were served with the Summons and Complaint (although if you miss the deadline you should still file the papers as soon as possible). (Check the top of the landlord's Complaint to see in what court the papers were filed.)
The papers may be mailed or delivered in person, as long as they reach the clerk's office by the end of the day on the 20th day from the date of service. Mail or hand-deliver a copy to the landlord's lawyer, or to the landlord if he or she does not have a lawyer, within this 20-day period. You can file both the Answer and the Counterclaims with the court at the same time. You can also mail them both to the other party.

Rep. Mustio: Uncorking the Pros of Liquor Privatization
Rep. Mark Mustio, R-Moon, shares news with his constituents in this week's 'Updates from Harrisburg—Part 3: Public Protection … It's In There."
One of the most common myths put forth by liquor privatization opponents is the potential for reduced public safety, increased social problems and elevated crime such as rampant alcoholism, binge drinking, underage drinking, and more alcohol-related deaths and injuries across the board. This week's Headline Harrisburg report "uncorks" just some of the public protection aspects of liquor privatization that await Pennsylvanians under House Bill 790. Of course, government must concentrate on vigorously regulating the distribution of alcohol and cracking down on those who misuse it, especially minors and those who drink and drive. Contrary to the misinformed prohibitionist opinion, a number of states with completely privatized alcohol sales …

Research Guide for LSFY102: From India to China
Databases - Identifying Keywords - Citing Sources - Questions?
This page is designed to help with the research for your group project, "Reading and Writing Stories," for LSFY102 with Dr. Salgado.
Your bibliography for the group project must include at least one article you found using a library database. The databases you are familiar with from LSFY101 may not be sufficient for this project; below are some other options to get you started.
ATLA Religion Index
ATLA is Augustana's most important religion database, and it is the place you should start for this project. The interface looks the same as Academic Search Premier, but ATLA is a different, religion-focused database.
JSTOR is a full-text database that covers a wide variety of subject areas. Start by clicking on "Advanced Search." Here, you can combine terms and also narrow your search to particular subjects, including religion and Asian studies.
Academic Search Premier
Try ATLA and JSTOR first, but if you cannot find what you need there, Academic Search Premier may still be a good option.
ALiCat and I-Share
Search ALiCat for books from Augustana and I-Share for books from across Illinois. A book could be a good source for the example of a traditional Jataka story that you are encouraged to find for your research. If you have not set up your I-Share account, which lets you order books from other libraries, you can ask a librarian for help (see below).
Identifying Keywords
The Ten Perfections all have English terms, but you may find that the databases, instead, use terms that are transliterated from other languages (for example, you might need to search the term "paramita" in a database rather than "perfection.")
How can you know what the other terms are that you may need to search? If you encounter this difficulty with a particular concept, look up the term in a reference book. Reference books don't just give you background but also suggest an expanded vocabulary for thinking about your topic.
This one is especially useful:
Encyclopedia of Buddhism - Reference collection, 2nd floor - BQ128 .E62 2004
Other encyclopedias and dictionaries on Buddhism can be found in the reference collection, in the call numbers starting with BQ.
Citing Sources
On the library homepage click "Citing Sources" for online guides to citation styles. MLA is the style most commonly used in LSFY.
Please email me (email@example.com) if you have questions.
You may also speak to the librarian on duty at the research help desk (2nd floor, by the elevators) or contact her via email (email@example.com), phone (309-794-7206), or the chat box on the library homepage.
I work at the research help desk on Wednesday nights and will be happy to talk to you about your project at that time.

As a substitute teacher, I had to explain to some kids that they couldn't make LSD by mixing bleach and rat poison. Teaching kids about drugs doesn't make them want to do drugs. They want to do drugs for many other reasons already.

OMAHA–A day after UC Irvine won a College World Series game for the ages against Cal State Fullerton, the Anteaters might have outdone themselves in the encore.
The 'Eaters overcame a four-run eighth-inning deficit Tuesday night to beat Arizona State on Ollie Linton's walk-off bases-loaded single in the 10th. Irvine became the first team ever to win extra-inning CWS games on consecutive days. As intense as UCI's 13-inning win against Fullerton was on Monday, this one left the 29,034 fans in Rosenblatt Stadium breathless. And it left Anteaters coach Dave Serrano nearly speechless.
"I don't know if I have words to describe what happened tonight," Serrano said. "But I will say that the 2007 UC Irvine Anteaters don't want to take their uniforms off. We want to continue to wear the same uniforms together. Like I said from the start, it will take someone to do something special to eliminate us from this thing."
Tuesday's game started out as a brisk pitcher's duel, remaining scoreless until the fourth when Arizona State starter Brian Flores balked home a run. The teams traded runs each of the next two innings, leaving UCI on top 3-2 after Cody Cipriano's opposite-field home run in the bottom of the sixth.
But the Sun Devils, who boast the nation's highest-scoring offense this season, could only be suppressed for so long. Arizona State took the lead with two runs in the seventh and added three more in the top of the eighth, capped by Ryan Sontag's pinch-hit two-run double. That gave ASU a 7-3 lead with closer Jason Jarvis on the mound.
"It was pretty devastating when they went ahead 7-3, but I don't think there was a guy in that dugout that thought we couldn't make the comeback," Serrano said.
It started with back-to-back pinch-hit walks by Dillon Bell and Zach Robinson, followed by another walk to Taylor Holiday. With the bases loaded and no outs, Jarvis hit Ben Orloff to make it 7-4. The next batter, Cipriano, singled up the middle to cut the deficit to two runs. Then Matt Morris tied it up with a double to right-center field. The Anteaters might have taken the lead on that play, but Cipriano was held up at third base, and he grabbed third-base coach Greg Bergeron to stop himself. By rule, Cipriano was called out, and Arizona State got out of the inning with a double play.
Serrano had decided he would use ace righthander Scott Gorgen (13-3) on two days' rest if the Anteaters could get within two runs, so Gorgen trotted out to start the ninth. He worked an uneventful ninth inning but found himself in his own bases-loaded jam in the 10th. But Gorgen got Brett Wallace to ground into a 4-6-3 double play to escape the threat.
That set the stage for the bottom of the 10th, when Morris singled with one out against Arizona State ace Mike Leake (13-2) and stole second to get the rally started. Three batters later, Linton lined a 2-2 pitch past a diving Wallace at first base and into right field, driving home Morris with the winning run.
"I felt the energy coming from the crowd, but more, I felt the energy coming from the dugout. Our teammates are always behind us, and they pushed me to get that hit," Linton said.
UC Irvine has become the darling of Rosenblatt, winning the hearts of the fans much like Oregon State did a year ago. The second-largest crowd in CWS history packed the stadium for Tuesday's classic, and it's easy to see why the Anteaters are such a crowd favorite. They truly never quit–not even when the opposing team takes a four-run lead in the eighth inning.
"Even though all that happened, I knew we were going to come back and win," Cipriano said.
Good teams have confidence, but great teams simply know they're going to win. It's beyond a swagger–it's a sense of certainty. UC Irvine exudes that mentality from every pore.
"When I found out I had to go down to start warming up to get ready for the ninth inning, I knew we had it in the bag," Gorgen said. "I was going to be on with my pitches and I was going to give us the best shot to win."
After this game, even Arizona State coach Pat Murphy is starting to believe in the Anteaters.
"Give Irvine a tremendous amount of credit," Murphy said. "They play with tremendous enthusiasm, they play with a lot of energy. They reminded me of our '05 team, a team of destiny. Probably not going to win the whole thing, but a team of destiny. And they may."
UCI is trying to become just the second team in the past 25 years to win three games in its first CWS appearance, joining the 1994 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. And though the odds are stacked against the 'Eaters winning back-to-back games against a rested Oregon State club the next two days, it's hard to doubt these guys after what they've accomplished. Irvine has had to topple a host of college baseball superpowers just to get this far.
"A lot of this stuff probably won't start to hit me until it's all over, about really what we've done, what we've accomplished to this point, what we can continue to accomplish," Serrano said. "Just to think about that: University of Texas, Wichita State, Cal State Fullerton, and now Arizona State. And the next one on the docket I guess is the defending national champion Oregon State.
"It's pretty amazing, and that's what's so special about this sport. The biggest and strongest don't always win; it's the best team."

Govt won't do Dotcom raid inquiry – Key
3News NZ
Mon, 02 Jul 2012 8:34a.m.
Despite mistakes in the legal attempt to get Kim Dotcom extradited to the United States, the Government is this morning rejecting calls for an inquiry.
Search warrants used to seize evidence from Dotcom's mansion north of Auckland have been ruled illegal.
It's the third negative outcome in court for police since the FBI launched its bid for the Megaupload founder's extradition to face trial for alleged copyright piracy.
Prime Minister John Key told RadioLIVE there won't be an inquiry, and it's not this country's problem.
"It's really a matter for the United States and New Zealand is not taking a case against the guy, it's just we have extradition treaties and we work through those."
The Kim Dotcom case will be back in court in Auckland later this week.

What has happened is simply a balls-up on the part of the Police. I doubt that politicians had any influence on how the raid was conducted and what was seized. It's simply a case of poor workmanship on the part of the Police (and their legal advisers I might add)in this particular case. In other cases investigared by the Police they do a very good job, but clearly the Dotcom case is not one of them.

Why not an inquiry ? I do not see anything wrong with the enquiry. The public has the right to know why, how and who made the decision to raid the Kim Dotcom the way they did.The Greens are doing the right thing by asking for an inquiry. Do not sweep under the carpet if there is nothing to hide.Public has the right to know why did they act the way they acted towards Kim Dotcom.He is a businessman, a very wealthy one like any other businessman.He is not a terrorist or murderer. If he has breached or violated a law, he should be handled like any other businessman.He and his family has been deprived of so many things.That is not right and fair. The Greens are right in asking for a public inquiry so that in future such incident do not happen again in New Zealand. We should be always be New Zealand. We should do and act ,what is right, fair and just. Do not ever become a third world country where the government and the politicians decide the fate of basically everything. Thank you. Chelva.

Many Kiwis (especially Socialists) have a penchant for inquiries every time there is a small problem. Most inquiries do not achieve anything except for venting steam. They can also be backward looking. While looking back, we have taken our eye off the ball and lose the real game. It is like the Unions "telling the Govt to help the Manufacturing jobs". To compete with overseas markets, we need more productivity per worker. If the Union want's to retain these jobs, let them offer better productivity. All Kiwis need to move forward together, not the old idea of the Govt supplies everything. If we don't move forward, be prepared for War or Depression. There are no alternatives.

A Cheektowaga student has been arrested after threatening to blow up the Cleveland Hill High School. YNN's Katie Cummings reports.
"One of the concerns we have is only one person called us. We would have liked to have received a phone call from every one of those individuals," said Captain Jim Speyer, Cheektowaga Police Department.
Police went to the freshman's home and searched it for anything suspicious, but nothing was found. The student admitted he knew sending the tweet was wrong and that's why he deleted it three minutes later.
However, Speyer says these kind of threats will not be taken lightly, especially in the wake of the Newtown shooting.
"We will treat every one of those as if it's the real deal and investigate them fully. We, everybody is on edge since last Friday and this is very poor timing on his part," Speyer said.
Some parents were relieved to hear of the arrest.
"It just makes me worry even more but I'm really glad to hear they are taking things more serious than what they used to. Back in the days when we were growing up, we didn't deal with this stuff," said Joseph Folvarcik, parent.
"You can never be too safe, you know, too sure. So going the extra mile, checking the house, even going further than that I think it's fantastic and they need to do that more often," said Joseph Busalachi, parent.
Meanwhile, one parent claims the school never informed her and hopes they do so in the future.
"I think the principal maybe should have went out of his way to inform parents that this was placed on Twitter," said Michelle Fulks. "Hopefully, they'll, next time they'll, you know, come at it a different way."
The teen was charged as a juvenile with making a terrorist threat and falsely reporting an incident, both felonies. He was released on an appearance ticket and will return to family court.

Handing your kid a set of car keys can be a nerve-wracking experience, particularly these days with the additional dangers of distracted driving from smartphones and other mobile devices. As much as 25 percent of car crashes are caused by distracted driving, according to a recent study, with texting likely increasing the danger even more than talking on a phone. So we realized there was an opportunity to see what technologies might be used to reduce some of those road risks. What we came up with is a project called Driving Safety, a device which plugs into a car's computer and which gives parents the ability to monitor in real time how their kids are driving and even disable calls, texts and other social networking features on their mobile devices while behind the wheel.
How did the Idea Hatch?
The initial idea for Driving Safety came to the AT&T Foundry innovation center in Israel in April 2011 through a fast pitch presentation by Israeli company Traffilog. Traffilog had developed a proprietary technology that combines vehicle and driver diagnostics, providing drivers and fleet managers with personalized real-time alerts and periodic reports that ultimately improve driving behavior and vehicle mechanical maintenance. But researchers at the AT&T Foundry and sponsor Amdocs realized the technology could be adapted to the consumer market to address concerns around distracted driving. We decided to repurpose Traffilog's enterprise fleet management software, mash it up with the AT&T Network and create a real time smart car policy solution allowing parents to control and understand teen driving habits.
About the Project
Driving Safety will provide parents with real time remote monitoring tools, allowing them to track behavior while driving, map a driver's driving style based on data analysis, and determine their risk level. In addition, parents will be able to remotely control their kid's mobile device while driving and enable/disable them from receiving text messages or incoming calls, or even messages and notifications from chat services and other social networking apps. This service is part of AT&T's larger commitment to safe driving, which includes apps such as Drive Mode for Android and BlackBerry, which creates a sort of "out-of-office" message for people trying to contact you while you're driving, and our education campaign on the dangers of distracted driving.
The Future
Our goal is for AT&T to become the leading provider of smart car solutions that increase customer safety and enable the next-generation integration between consumers, cars and the environment. We see potential for the following services:
- Provide an SDK (software development kit) for external app developers to create services for drivers such as: road assistance, accident management, theft management, and car maintenance.
- Enable insurance companies to vary their policy offerings based on customer's driving behavior/risk level.
- Implement location-based services in different categories and market segments (e.g. social messaging, social gaming, geo-fencing, family safety).
About the Researcher
Raz Dar manages the business operation of the AT&T Foundry in Israel for sponsor company Amdocs. After many years in the telecommunication space with track record of leading innovative solutions to tier-1 clients across the world, joining the AT&T Foundry was a natural transition bringing all this knowledge to AT&T. Raz is a former award-winning international swimmer.

Expanding the Uses of Naval Ocean Science and Technology
Technology transfer from the federal defense sector to the domestic nonmilitary sector is a goal supported by several administrations and mandated by more than a decade of legislation (Appendix C). The use of military technology for nonmilitary needs (i.e., defense conversion), and the development of new military technologies in conjunction with industry for joint benefit (i.e., dual use) can provide cost savings and improve efficiency both in the Department of Defense (DOD) and in the private nonmilitary sector. Savings from reducing the size of the military could then be used to stimulate the U.S. economy (Naval Research Advisory Committee, 1993). The Clinton administration supports a technology policy intended to strengthen U.S. industrial competitiveness, create high-quality jobs, coordinate management of technology across all government agencies, create partnerships between the public and private sectors, and redirect the nation' s technical resources to civilian uses (Naval Research Advisory Committee, 1993).
The purpose of the DOD domestic technology transfer policy, as stated in DOD Report 3200.12-R-4, is "to achieve the maximum national benefit from DOD scientific and technical efforts" (DOD, 1988). Report 3200.12-R-4 lists several policy statements supporting this goal:
Encourage the dissemination of scientific and technical information, data and know-how developed by or for the Department of Defense to State and local governments and to the private sector, consistent with the requirements of U.S. national security.
Promote the sharing of technology that fosters the advance of science or that has commercial potential and thus should be employed to best advantage for the security and socioeconomic well-being of the United States.

Support coordination between the industrial, academic, and Government R&D (research and development) activities of the United States by cooperating in the sharing of plans for future research efforts and the sharing of facilities as appropriate.
Support cooperative efforts to stimulate industrial innovation, especially in small businesses.
Support and encourage the exchange of scientific and technical personnel among academic, industry, and the DOD laboratories.
Support the domestic technology transfer process as an integral part of the R&D effort and incorporate domestic technology transfer objectives into the mission of each appropriate R&D activity.
Encourage domestic technology transfer in the work place through its recognition in position descriptions, in promotion policies, in monetary awards, and in performance evaluations for appropriate scientific and engineering personnel.
Ensure that R&D activities have at least one full-time equivalent position responsible for performing the functions of an Office of Research and Technology Applications (ORTA) at any activity having over 200 full-time equivalent professional scientific, engineering and related technical personnel. A full-time position for any activity with less that 200 professional scientific and engineering personnel is optional.
Ensure that domestic technology transfer functions do not compete substantially with similar services available in the private sector.
Ensure that the Domestic Technology Transfer Program does not conflict with export control regulations, policies governing militarily critical technology, policy requirements of recouping DOD nonrecurring costs, or any of the responsibilities and procedures for technology transfer control in DOD Directives, Instructions, and publications . . . .
Identify and encourage persons to act as conduits between and among Federal laboratories, universities, and the private sector for the transfer of technology developed from federally funded R&D efforts.
Ensure that State and local governments, universities and the private sector are provided with information on the technology, expertise, and facilities available in Federal laboratories.
Source: Department of Defense (1988).
To ensure that these 12 policies are carried out and to comply with Public Law 96-480, DOD 3200.12-R-4 required that 0.5 percent of the total research and development (R&D) budget for each DOD budget component be used to promote domestic technology transfer (DOD, 1988). DOD 3200.12-R-4 also stated that a waiver could be obtained from Congress at the time of budget submission if alternative methods of conducting technology transfer were provided. Subsequent changes to this provision were affected by enactment of Public Law 101-189, which substituted language referring to any specific level of funding expressed as a percentage of the R&D budget with "each Federal agency which

operates or directs one or more Federal Laboratories shall make available sufficient funding . . . to support" technology transfer. The level of funding actually committed to facilitating technology transfer is therefore variable and is one indicator of the Navy's commitment to accomplish this important goal on a year-to-year basis.
Despite enactment of legislation and programs to encourage and even mandate technology transfer, the defense industry as a whole has not had a high success rate in defense conversion (Naval Research Advisory Committee, 1993). The most successful technology transfer efforts have involved aerostructures, as the needs of the commercial aerospace market are similar to those of the defense market. In areas without such a clear link to defense, there has been less success in transferring technology (Naval Research Advisory Committee, 1993). Most marine industries fall into the latter group. Information about the needs of the private marine sector does not commonly reach the Navy's primary producer and sponsor of marine R&D, the Office of Naval Research (ONR). Likewise, information about marine technologies currently available and under development at ONR is not adequately conveyed to nonmilitary interests. This lack of two-way communication, matching the "solutions" that potentially exist at ONR with the "problems" of the marine industry in the nonmilitary sector, forms a major impediment to effective technology transfer.
In response to a request from the Office of Naval Research (Appendix A), the Ocean Studies Board (OSB) of the National Research Council (NRC) formed the Committee on Alternative Uses of Naval Technology. The committee was requested to produce a report detailing (1) how ONR now interacts with industry, (2) how those avenues of interaction may be improved, and (3) future areas of technology research that may be appropriate for ONR to pursue, which might have applications to interests outside the Navy. The committee did not discuss specific areas of future basic research for ONR to pursue because the OSB has provided such advice in more than 12 recent reports to ONR (e.g., NRC, 1991, 1992a,b, 1993a,b,c,d,e, 1994). The committee focused its efforts on establishing the future technology needs of a major segment of the nonmilitary, industrial sector. The phrase "ocean science and technology development" is used throughout this report to denote hardware, software, patents (in process and issued), as well as scientific research and resultant knowledge.
Members of the committee have considerable knowledge of marine science and technology issues (Appendix B). The committee invited several ONR researchers, as well as representatives of key marine industries, to present their perspectives on the status of marine research and technology transfer. Three meetings were held to provide a forum for this exchange of information. The first meeting included presentations by ONR personnel regarding marine technologies currently available and under development. The second meeting assembled representatives of several marine industries and agencies to give their views on technology needs in the near future and the current status of ONR technology

Expanding the Uses of Naval Ocean Science and Technology
transfer efforts. The final meeting focused on information exchange by means of electronic databases. From these discussions the committee formulated four findings with corresponding recommendations.
Chapter 2 presents an overview of areas of marine technology development within ONR. Chapter 3 examines existing technology transfer programs in ONR and elsewhere in the federal government. Chapter 4 discusses present and future needs of several marine industries and evaluates the potential for ONR programs, outlined in Chapter 2, to address those needs. Processes and approaches to improve technology transfer within ONR are discussed in Chapter 5. Chapter 6 presents the committee's findings and recommendations.

New 'cool blue' compound to keep buildings cool sans air-conditioning
Washington, June 2 (ANI): A new study by scientists including one of Indian-origin, has revealed a durable and environmentally benign blue pigment, which also possesses the unusual characteristics of reflecting heat, which can be potentially helpful for saving energy in buildings.
The "cool blue" coloured pigment, which has now received patent approval, was discovered about three years ago almost by chance, as Oregon State University scientists were studying some materials for their electrical properties.
This might be potentially useful to help reduce heat absorption on the roofs and walls of buildings, which is an evolving field of considerable interest in warm regions where cooling is a major expense.
"This pigment has infrared heat reflectivity of about 40 percent, which is significantly higher than most blue pigments now being used," said Mas Subramanian, an OSU professor of chemistry who discovered the compound.
"The more we discover about the pigment, the more interesting it gets," Subramanian said. "We already knew it had advantages of being more durable, safe and fairly easy to produce. Now it also appears to be a new candidate for energy efficiency.
"Cool roofing," in which paints are used to reflect significant portions of the sun's heat and thereby reduce cooling costs, is an important new trend in "green" construction and energy efficiency, experts say. Such reflective coatings also are more aesthetically pleasing, have less thermal degradation, reduce the "heat island" effect in cities, lower peak energy demand, and reduce air pollution due to lower energy use and power plant emissions," he said.
"We're seeking licensing partners for this invention right now," said Mary Phillips, associate director of the Office for Commercialization and Corporate Development at OSU.
"We believe it can contribute to new energy efficiency solutions around the world," she said.
Generally, any darker colour of the type often used for roofs, houses, automobiles or other applications will tend to absorb more heat.
But some compounds, like the one discovered at OSU, have dark tones, yet possess the ability to reflect heat in the infrared spectrum, which is responsible for most of the heat energy absorbed from sunlight.
The researchers claimed that this is probably the best blue pigment humans have produced since ancient times - going back to efforts by the Egyptians, the Han dynasty in China and Mayan cultures.
The pigment was accidentally discovered when some manganese compounds came out of a 2,000 degree Fahrenheit oven transformed into a beautiful blue, which researchers later determined was due to an unusual "trigonal bipyramidal coordination" of their molecules that changed when exposed to extreme heat.

WHITPAIN Good doggy. Have a slice of pizza.
To celebrate its grand opening, Pet Supplies Plus is inviting Fido and Fifi and their human counterparts to a Pets n People Party at its new Blue Bell location on Saturday and Sunday, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The store where customers are called neighbors is treating folks to pizza furnished by its own neighbor in the Shops at Blue Bell shopping center, Franks Pizza.
But the chow hounds in attendance will chow down on special snacks nutritionally formulated just for them.
The mini pizzas may be gourmet doggy biscuits in reality, but they look uncannily like the real thing and heavy on the oregano, please.
We wanted to have pizza for the people and little pizzas that are biscuit treats for the dogs, noted Mark Grunwald, store manager. We want this store to be a place that people look forward to coming to. So when they come in we greet the pet first, like oh, you brought your owner with you. Since our brand is Americas favorite neighborhood pet store, our customers are our neighbors. But even if you live outside of the neighborhood, youre still welcome here.
The Michigan-based chain that is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year was hanging out a welcome sign for pets long before many of its competitors in the pet store wars.
A lot of people like to bring their pets with them to shop, Grunwald noted. Most of them bring dogs, but some have well-trained birds that they bring along.
Free nail trimmings for dogs and plenty of giveaways will add to the weekend festivities as the chain spreads the word about its second Montgomery County location.
The Blue Bell store which is corporately owned, amid many franchised locations across the country opened its doors in a former Blockbuster Dec. 1, in conjunction with a store in Warrington, Bucks County.
Pet Supplies Plus established itself in Phoenixville about a dozen years ago.
In addition to birds, fish, a wide range of foods, pet toys and enough varieties of rawhide to guarantee that Sparky never gets bored again, PSP features a self-service dog wash.
Its kind of like a self-serve car wash, Grunwald said, opening the door to the self-contained wash room. You do the soap, the rinse and then the blow dryer. People love it because the mess is here and not in their bathroom. Everybody gets an apron to wear and the kids like to get in with their dog and its fun for families.
For $8, you get 20 minutes of rub-a-dub-dub time in the tub with your furry friend. Two bucks will lather up an additional 10 minutes, if needed.
Most people are able to get it done in 20 minutes, Grunwald pointed out.
If only the best for mans best friend and feline will do, PSP carries an impressive array of premium, all-natural and organic brands, besides the mainstream staples.
By phone from company headquarters in Michigan, CEO Dave Bolen noted that becoming part of the community was integral to the chains philosophy from the get-go.
Were the third largest pet specialty operator in the country, but were much, much smaller than PetSmart or Petco. We like to go into smaller shopping centers that are more convenient for local shoppers, so we consider ourselves the neighborhood pet store. We look forward to becoming a part of the Blue Bell community and getting to know all the neighborhood pets and their people by name.
About 15 people were hired for the Blue Bell store, he noted.
We hired some good people there. Theyre extensively trained and are qualified to answer a broad range of questions, whether the issue is with a dog or a cat or an exotic bird or fish. Theyre also experts in natural, organic and holistic foods. We understand the special bond between owners and their pets, Bolen added, and at the end of the day, we believe that pets own people, not the other way around.
