France's lower house of parliament approved a sweeping bill on Tuesday to legalize gay marriage and allow same-sex couples to adopt children, handing a major legislative victory to President Francois Hollande's Socialists on a divisive social issue.
The measure, approved in the National Assembly in a 329-to-229 vote, puts France on track to join about a dozen mostly European nations that allow gay marriage and comes despite a string of recent demonstrations by opponents of the so-called "marriage for all" bill.
Polls indicate a narrow majority of French support legalizing gay marriage, though that support falls when questions about the adoption and conception of children come into play.
The Assembly has been debating the bill, and voting on its individual articles in recent weeks. The overall legislation now goes in the coming weeks to the Senate, which also is controlled by the governing Socialists and their allies.
With Tuesday's vote, France joins Britain in taking a major legislative step in recent weeks toward allowing gay marriage and adoption _ making them the largest European countries to do so. The Netherlands, Belgium, Norway and Spain, as well as Argentina, Canada and South Africa have authorized gay marriage, along with nine U.S. states and the District of Columbia.
The issue has exposed fault lines between a progressive-minded leftist legislative majority in officially secular France, and the country's conservative religious roots. Critics _ including many Roman Catholics _ have railed that the bill would erode the traditional family. Socialists, however, sought to depict the issue as one of equal rights, and they played off France's famed Revolution-era motto of "Liberty, Equality and Fraternity."
As with many major and controversial reforms in France, the issue drew its share of political grandstanding over weeks of debate. Conservative opponents forced a discussion of nearly 5,000 amendments, a move derided by Socialists as inconsequential stalling tactics. But by the final vote, the government rank-and-file rolled out grand, solemn statements of victory.
However, the political right hasn't given up just yet, saying the Constitutional Court _ whose 12 members include three former French presidents and several other prominent conservatives _ will determine whether the law, if finally passed, meshes with the law of the land.
The government didn't get all it wanted. The Socialists last month backed off plans to link the gay marriage measure to relaxed restrictions on fertility treatments, after catching political heat for its stance on assisted reproduction. The issue is expected to come up in a separate bill later this year.
Hollande made legalizing gay marriage one of the planks in his 60-point program on the way to winning the presidency in May over conservative incumbent Nicolas Sarkozy. But Hollande's popularity has fallen along with France's lackluster economic performance, and his foes on the right appear to sense he might be vulnerable on a high-profile social issue.
The latest polls suggest a narrow majority of French support gay marriage, but that has declined from about two-thirds support in August. In mid-January, at least 340,000 people swarmed on the Eiffel Tower to protest the plan to legalize gay marriage, according to police estimates. Two weeks later, about 125,000 proponents of the bill marched in the capital.
French civil unions, allowed since 1999, are at least as popular among heterosexuals as among gay and lesbian couples. But that law has no provisions for adoption or assisted reproduction.

Open Thread: Talk About What Matters Most to You
Discuss and debate the issues that mean the most to you.
I learned about a new meme last week: "Activism Boy." According to my wise, mean co-worker, an "Activism Boy" is the kind of straight, white cis boy who has a lot of Feelings about posting photos of himself picketing on Facebook and thinks it might be kind of sexy to get arrested for resisting the patriarchy. And as of right now, one particular Activism Boy -- okay, Activism Man -- in California is trying to make being even mildly involved with sex work an offense worthy of extended prison sentences and surrendered Facebook passwords.
Note: as far as I could tell, "Activism Boy" is not a catchall term for any Privilege Jenga winner who happens to also care about a cause. I'm definitely not a fan of trying to police what folks believe in, especially when it comes to shit that might affect me personally down the road.
And with that in mind, I'm gonna go ahead and extend the term to encompass anybody (regardless of identity) who hears a 10-minute pitch about a cause and then takes it upon themselves to lead the uprising. This always sends me into fits of severe eye rolling. We're not in "Rudy," dudes. Nobody's gonna carry you home on their shoulders as Protest King when the cops bust up the party.
Though I find Activism Boys annoying as shit, I don't usually think they're particularly malevolent. It's a human impulse to get excited by things and to try to make them your own; some people just aren't great at understanding how to respect spaces. If that manifests in some overbearing behavior, usually the most you can do is make the rest of us look like jerks while you clutch at a megaphone. Supremely irritating? Natch. Lethal? Not really.
However, when Activism Boys get their hands on some capital, all that well-intentioned rage starts to really grind at me. Take Chris Kelly, a former Facebook executive and 2010 candidate for California attorney general. Flush with cash and some good old-fashioned righteousness, he's taken it upon himself to seemingly single-handedly eliminate human trafficking in California.
According to SFGate, "If passed, Proposition 35 would increase prison sentences for traffickers from five to eight years to 12 years to life, depending on the circumstances. It raises the maximum fines from $100,000 to $1.5 million and requires that the money be spent to help trafficking victims and to assist law enforcement agencies prevent trafficking and rescue victims."
So far, so good, right? Nobody likes human trafficking. And that, according to the test ballot I got in the mail this weekend, is all you'd see on polling day. Seems pretty straightforward. Sex traffickers bad; revenue raising good. It's like voting for Batman, if Batman cared even a little bit about bureaucracy. It's so good, in fact, that one wonders why Chris Kelly has sunk $1.85 million into the campaign, making up 85% of the total donations.
A more cynical person (not me, surely) might even observe that a person who's selflessly worked toward ending human trafficking in the state might be welcomed with open arms the next time he made a run at the attorney general office. They might even observe that in Kelly's last bid for the position, he'd lost to an opponent who's since raised the felony conviction rate from 52% to 67% in the last four years alone. Taking a strong stance on a seemingly cut-and-dried crime would definitely put him back in the public spotlight.
With that in mind, let's take a look at the rest of this bill -– the part that won't appear on the ballot this November.
"All traffickers would have to register as sex offenders, and all registered sex offenders in the state, whether their convictions are for trafficking or other offenses, would have to disclose their Internet providers and online identities to law enforcement agencies. The measure also mandates new training for law enforcement officers."
I realize it's hard to overcome the knee-jerk "sex offender, bad!" reaction that all discussions about trafficking seem to elicit. I am, in no way, in favor of sex offenders having unfettered access to those they would victimize, particularly in ways that would put them in positions power. But I fail to see how automatically seizing the passwords of everyone on the sex offender registry, even if their crime had nothing to do with the Internet, is not a gross violation of privacy rights. This is the part of the bill that's made the ACLU awfully uneasy; like me, they're not huge fans of the "give us all your Twitter passwords" judicial system.
For me, though, the more dangerous part of the proposition is the one that actually defines human trafficking. Right now, the proposed law defines trafficking as "substantial and sustained restriction of another's liberty accomplished through force, fear, fraud, deceit, coercion, violence, duress, menace, or threat of unlawful injury to the victim or to another person." As the Bay Guardian points out, that's an awfully complicated definition for something that could conceivably lead to 15 years in prison or exorbitant fines.
To make matters worse, it also includes the definition of pimping as a form of trafficking. Again, doesn't sound too bad, until you consider that in California, a pimp is "any person who, knowing another person is a prostitute, lives or derives support or maintenance in whole or in part from the earnings or proceeds of the person's prostitution, or from money loaned or advanced to or charged against that person." In other words, if your friend buys you dinner with the money she got giving tech-y assholes blow jobs in the backseats of their Priuses, you could conceivably be a pimp -- and, in turn, a human trafficker.
As the Guardian mentions, this also goes for any children, partners or roommates of sex workers. One minute, your roommate's appointments in the Financial District are helping pay your rent; the next, you're giving up your Tumblr password to The Man. They should just put that on the ballot summary.
In all seriousness, though, this proposition isn't about me. It's about the victims of human trafficking, many of whom decidedly oppose Prop 35. Lots think that the focus on sex crimes is too narrow or the scope of possible conviction is too broad. Victims' rights advocates fear that fewer people in need would actually seek help, for fear of somehow getting slammed with prison time.
Which is not to mention the many, many sex workers who will likely find it even harder to obtain reasonable police protection after all those new state funds get ferried toward, vaguely enough, "helping trafficking victims." Unfortunately for them, anti-Prop 35 advocates have pretty much zero financial backing -- because what politician is going to want to come forward apparently in favor of sex trafficking?
Former Facebook exec Chris Kelly, meanwhile, has remained unperturbed by even the slightest suggestion that his ticket to the attorney general's office is anything but perfect -– according to the Mercury News (linked above), he called the advocates' concerns "borderline laughable." He continued, "This is a chance for the voters of the state of California to step in and say (to victims), 'We will protect you.'" Unless you're a voter who actually works for advocacy organizations, apparently. Then you're not fit to protect anybody.
I know that to people outside of California, this whole issue might seem a bit distant. But even the federal human trafficking law is consistently being potentially revamped -- and expanding the definitions of the crimes in the way that Prop 35 does sets an awfully dangerous precedent. There's a fine fucking line between truly trying to advocate for victims and just throwing a lot of cash at the problem and hoping that someone more capable will make it go away.
At the very least, this whole thing should be a handy reminder to actually read about the issues before you skip off to your polling place. I can't help but be reminded of the whole Prop 8 fiasco from four years yore, when local news interviewed bunches of people claiming to have gotten "confused" by the whole "Yes on 8 is a No for Gays" thing.
Personally, if my housemate hadn't shouted at me at length in our kitchen about this two weeks ago, chances are I would've happily checked "Yes" in response to a blurb that essentially boils down to, "CHECK IF U H8 HUMAN TRAFFICKING AND LOVE FREEDOM." Even hypothetically, that prospect really disturbs me.
This election cycle, I want to make sure my vote counts for something I believe in. And honestly, I don't believe that millionaire post-Facebook frat guys should be the people to "bravely" take on human trafficking and sex abuse.
Kate is going to be insufferable this election season at @katchatters. Join her!

Encyclopedia of World Biography on Wilhelm Max Wundt
The German psychologist and philosopher Wilhelm Max Wundt (1832-1920) was the founder of experimental psychology. He edited the first journal of experimental psychology and established the first laboratory of experimental psychology.
Wilhelm Wundt was born on Aug. 16, 1832, in Baden, in a suburb of Mannheim called Neckarau. As a child, he was tutored by Friedrich Müller. Wundt attended the gymnasium at Bruschel and at Heidelberg, the University of Tübingen for a year, then Heidelberg for more than 3 years, receiving a medical degree in 1856. He remained at Heidelberg as a lecturer in physiology from 1857 to 1864, then was appointed assistant professor in physiology. The great physiologist, physicist, and physiological psychologist Hermann von Helmholtz came there in 1858, and Wundt for a while was his assistant.
During the period from 1857 to 1874 Wundt evolved from a physiologist to a psychologist. In these years he also wrote Grundzüge der...

In remote rural areas of Bharuch district, food and nutrition are serious issues that affect people's health, particularly child health. In 2012, GVT surveyed over 80 project villages covering a total of 5,716 children (2,887 boys and 2,829 girls) between the age groups 1 to 5 years. The survey identified 4,573 children in Green zone, 909 in Yellow zone and 234 were in Red zone. While 909 (4 per cent) children were in Yellow Zone, the combination of Yellow and Red zones, i.e. 1,143 (20 per cent) are malnourished. The children in Red zone are not able to walk more than a few steps on their feet, and remain sick for longer duration. Food and nutrition problem has been found in old age people also, particularly single old-age women. Nearly three out of five single older women are very poor, and two out of three rural elderly women are fully dependent on others due to lack of livelihood opportunities.
Therefore, this program focuses on children in Red zone as per the Government of Gujarat supported Anganwadi (child care) centres, and the old age people, especially widow women.
The objectives of GVT's Food, Nutrition and Health program are as follows:
- To improve health conditions of the children in Red zone and elderly poor people by providing nutritious food.
- To prevent malnourishment in children up to the age of 5 years.
- To generate awareness among the parents regarding nutritious food to ensure nutritious food intake by the children.
- To improve mother, child and adolescent health.
- GVT is helping elderly women and men on monthly basis with the objective to improve in their health by providing nutritious food.

It's my Betsy Johnson cupcake dress and my Betsy Johnson platform shoes. Frivolous and "oh so girly".
Do you have one feature in your home you love most?
My husband, of course!
And I love our old factory floors. They are beautiful old parquetry.
Which foods and drinks most excite your taste buds?
Liqueur 43 – Spanish liqueur made from oranges and vanilla, excellent teamed with fresh lime juice and a shot of Cointreau. As for food… fresh figs, very ripe white peaches, sharp cheddar or manchego cheese, and I'm crazy about horseradish

By Dave Warner
(Reuters) - A New Jersey judge on Thursday denied a request by Republican Governor Chris Christie's administration to put off gay weddings in the state until after it had appealed the court decision that the state's law banning same-sex marriage was unconstitutional.
The decision by Superior Court Judge Mary Jacobson, who last month ruled that the state must begin allowing gay marriages on October 21, puts New Jersey on track to become the 14th U.S. state to recognize same-sex marriage, in addition to the District of Columbia.
Jacobson wrote that the Christie administration had failed to demonstrate that the state would be harmed if gay weddings went forward.
"Plaintiffs would suffer many hardships of constitutional magnitude if the stay were to be issued, but the state has not demonstrated how it would suffer in any meaningful way if the order is enforced," Jacobson wrote.
Christie's office could not be reached for immediate comment on whether the administration would appeal Jacobson's order to a higher court. Superior courts in New Jersey are at the trial court level.
Polls show the Republican governor with a strong lead heading into November, when he is up for re-election. He is also seen as a likely contender for his party's presidential nomination in 2016.
Democratic leaders in the state legislature applauded the Thursday ruling.
"I applaud this sound decision that supports equality for all New Jerseyans," said assembly speaker Sheila Oliver, a Democrat. "Governor Christie needs to finally get the message and stop doing everything he can to stand in the way of civil rights."
The battle over same-sex marriage is also being staged in the state legislature, where majority Democrats in both houses are attempting to muster the votes to override Christie's veto of a law that would allow same-sex marriage.

Vinny Guadagnino May Really Have Left Jersey Shore

2 Broke Girls (CBS) — Series premiere. I'm turned off by the premise and the way CBS always make New York City look like Los Angeles sets, but I'm turned on by Kat Dennings. I'll give it a try.
Hawaii Five-0 (CBS) — Season premiere. Terry O'Quinn joins the cast as a SEAL officer who wears woodland camouflage that the Navy stopped wearing like six years ago (here's the current edition). Wouldn't it be cool if Navy SEALs could turn into the Smoke Monster? We would have wrecked bin Laden's compound WAY sooner.
How I Met Your Mother (CBS) — Season premiere. The excellent cast and Josh Radnor begin their seventh season begins with back-to-back episodes.
Two and a Half Men (CBS) — Season premiere. Handsome hobo Ashton Kutcher replaces Hollywood's most infamous F-18.
Dancing with the Stars (ABC) — Season premiere. Hope Solo and Elisabatta Canalis good; Nancy Grace and Chaz Bono bad. Full roster of dancers here.
Castle (ABC) — Season premiere. OH MY GOD OH MY GOD IS BECKET GOING TO LIVE? Yes, of course she is.
Hell's Kitchen (Fox) — Season premiere. This is the one where Gordon Ramsay yells at people. It is somehow different than the other two reality shows with Gordon Ramsay yelling at people.
Roast of Charlie Sheen (Comedy Central) — I know I complain a lot about how Comedy Central changed roasts from being an honor to making fun of celebrity door mats, but at the end of the day, this is a night of jokes about drugs and hookers. That's just good programming. (P.S. Check out Burnsy's feature on the best Comedy Central roast jokes OF ALL TIME.)

Today, many employees are bringing their personal devices to work including their smart phones, tablets and personal laptops and are expecting to have access to the campus network and corporate applications from these devices.
This can be an opportunity to enhance employee productivity but can also add additional load to the network infrastructure. For example, with employees accessing the network through 3 devices on average it certainly adds to the total number of devices (and MAC addresses) that the network needs to be able to support.
Please share your thoughts with us on that topic

This is an outstanding article to realize the power of data visualization. However, I would also like to mention jolicharts for data driven analytics and visualization.Sometimes Story telling, is the integral part of the data and data seems to be incomplete without it. This could be relatively easy and possible through jolicharts.

MIT researchers look beyond encryption for tighter cloud data security
In the wake of the PRISM scandal, enterprise IT is looking for tighter cloud data security, and researchers at MIT are looking to Oblivious RAM.
Lack of security is often cited as a stumbling block by those businesses hesitant to move data and services to the cloud. That hasn't stopped plenty of enterprises, though.
But current methods of security -- namely encryption -- may not be cutting it. (See this summer's NSA PRISM surveillance program debacle for a prime example.) In general, software-based security isn't to be trusted, according to one MIT researcher, who's been working on designing a hardware component to better secure servers.
"Think of software security as just trusting millions of lines of code," said Srini Devadas, the Edwin Sibley Webster Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at MIT. "You don't know who wrote it, but it's really convenient to trust the code."
Cloud data security is largely based on various methods of encryption. Encryption can hide the exact data that's accessed or downloaded through websites or cloud-based software or services, but it can't hide that the access is happening, or the fact that a certain site is being accessed. That information -- those memory access patterns -- make it possible to see which sites a user is accessing, and when, regardless of whether encryption is being used. And those patterns can give away important information.
The work Devadas and some of his graduate students are doing (along with researchers from several other universities) focuses on hiding those memory access, or memory at rest, patterns.
The crux of the research project is Oblivious RAM, or O-RAM. In the past, there's been too much overhead associated with O-RAM to consider it for practical use.
"We invented a new kind of O-RAM," Devadas said. "We got the overheard down, and that is the academic contribution. To make this whole thing viable, you can't hide access patterns if every access turns into a million accesses. It would take forever to do any real work."
Cloud data security: From the lab to the data center
Current methods of security aren't enough, Devadas said. "People are not going to the level of doing encryption that they should to protect themselves." But the challenge with hardware security is that development and deployment take much longer than for software counterparts, he said.
And the road from academia to available product is paved with discarded ideas.
"The academic to commercial deployment gap is a really big gap," Devadas said. Some of his projects have simply stayed in the lab, though one started 10 years ago is just now being deployed. In the next year or so, Devadas and his team will focus on building their concept into a real silicon processor.
The MIT research announcement certainly comes at a good time -- or a bad one, from the perspective of software makers. This summer's NSA debacle shed light on the limits of encryption used for cloud security -- and sometimes, timing is everything for a concept to become reality.
"With security, things change quickly," Devadas said. "You never know. It suddenly becomes a problem."

Hi cats and kitties and all their people and friends. Today is the day when everyone is saying my name. Little scary people come to the door at night and my people give them treats so they go away and stop scaring me. I like this day because everyone is thinking of ME!
This is the picture I entered in the cat bloggers' Halloween costume contest. If my people tried to put clothes on me, I would not like it. Besides, since my name is Halloween I don't need much more than myself to celebrate this very important day. I am the spirit of Halloween every day. Plus, I think I am sexy with just the feather boa, don't you think? I am hoping to catch the eye of Rocky the Gutter Cat with my skimpy costume.
Have a good Halloween.

When Bennett "Bud" Sparks sent a message in a bottle in 1964 from his post at Point Retreat Lighthouse, he didn't expect a response, let alone one 50 years later.
Greg Anderson was going through his late father's papers recently when he came across a typed message on a worn piece of paper.
"Hello," the note reads. "This message is not important to you. I am in the United States Coast Guard, Stationed at Point Retreat Light Station. The station is about 18 miles out of Juneau, Alaska. If you have time to send me a letter."
It was signed by Bud Sparks, a fireman stationed at the lighthouse for the year.
Anderson said he didn't know when his father had found it. Anderson first found it in 1990, but didn't think much of it at the time. He wishes he had asked, but admits it's "a detail lost," with both his father and mother gone.
He found it again going through a memory box his mother kept. She was very sentimental, he said.
"She saved everything from locks of hair to umbilical cords in this big crate of stuff," Anderson said. "And newspaper from VJ Day, the Spanish American War and this one, 'Japan surrenders.'"
He shuffled through yellowed editions of the old Alaska Daily Empire and a publication from his mother's birthplace.
He laid the message from Sparks on the table, partially torn where it had been folded for so many years.
"I thought, 'Wouldn't it be neat to find this guy?'" he said.
In contrast to sending a message in a bottle, finding and contacting Sparks again was a feat of modern technology. Anderson took to the Internet to search for the sender.
The first he found was the obituary of Bud Sparks Sr., who died in 2009.
"Bud Sparks Sr. was huge," Anderson said — but too old to have been the lonely Coast Guardsman stationed at a lighthouse in 1964.
Anderson searched the obituary for names, then searched on Facebook for people matching the names.
He also emailed a Coast Guard historian, who couldn't help because records for that time were still sealed.
A conversation with a representative of the National Archives and Records Administration provided Anderson with a copy of the log from the lighthouse — one page from Jan. 1, 1964.
"It was very military. Very dry. I doubt he would log that he threw a bottle," Anderson speculated. "Might be littering."
In his search, Anderson reached Sparks' attorney, who helped connect the two.
Sparks called Anderson up on the phone — a more reliable mode of contact.
"I was stoked," Anderson said. "He just called me out of the blue."
They chatted about the message and Sparks' experiences out at the lighthouse.
Sparks served at Point Retreat Lighthouse for a year. He was a fireman.
"You stayed for a year and never left," Sparks said of his post in a phone interview. "We had no TV or radio."
He didn't say it outright, but the implication was there — at 20, being one of four men at a lighthouse got boring. Sparks said they kept eight-hour shifts: work, keep watch and sleep, repeat.
"That's why I wrote a note, said to somebody: 'Write me, please, write me,'" Sparks said.
He didn't expect a response, he said.
It was the year of the Good Friday Earthquake, which caused wreckage and chaos in Southcentral Alaska and beyond.
"Everything was a mess," Sparks said.
The note was his first time typing, and he said the vessel must have been a mayonnaise jar or something of that ilk, since soda and spirits were not allowed.
Occasionally they would watch films or hunt. He remembered hunting deer to donate to an orphanage in need of meat after the earthquake.
Sparks was in Southeast Alaska only one year, though he said he's always wanted to go back — he just hasn't had the opportunity.
He served in the Coast Guard a total of four years. He said his father served in the Coast Guard for 40 years, and that joining the Coast Guard was a family tradition. In the years since his service, he has been a salesman.
He had forgotten about ever sending a message in a bottle until his lawyer told him about Anderson's search.
"It's absolutely amazing that someone actually went through the whole cycle," Sparks said. "Fifty years the bottle's been out there somewhere."
• Contact reporter Melissa Griffiths at 523-2272 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Editor's note: A message was received correcting the title of Sparks to Fireman, technically Fireman Apprentice.

Two young children and two adults are recovering from injuries after a truck crashed into another car and a CTA bus shelter during a police chase.
It all started about a mile and a half west of here late last night near Homan and Roosevelt.
Police said they tried to pull over a 23-year-old driver for using an alley as a through street.
That's when he took off in his truck, eventually crashing into another car at Roosevelt and Western.
The CTA shelter that once stood here is now gone.
A 28-year-old woman, 35-year-old man, a one-year-old boy.. And 2-year-old girl were all taken to Mt. Sinai Hospital and are reportedly in good condition. They are expected to be treated and released.
The 23-year-old driver of the truck that fled from police was arrested at the scene. Police also found a gun in his car. Charges are pending.

The selected images represent a small extract from my long term project which reflects events within my family's history around the time of the 2ndworld war. All images are taken in the Donetsk area in Ukraine with the help of a large format camera and the Tricolor Photographic technique. By turning black and white photography into color this technique allows me to reflect on the historical events within the photographic reproduction process.
Millions of people lost their lives in the Donetsk area in the beginning of the 19 century. My Grandfather died there in a Prison camp in 1945 together with several thousands other Upper-Silesians. His grave is unknown and what´s left behind is a small calendar book written in tiny script, which I have inherited from my father. Many images spring to mind when reading a document as strong as this diary. The long and inhuman train journeys, the work in the coalmines, hunger and starvation and the generally terrible living conditions. His failed escape through the woods that led to being sentenced to death by hard labour in an Iron Foundry. And maybe hardest of all – his longing to see his family again.
The selected images are trying to catch a ghost that has been buried by the immense brutality of history and is still manifested in the conflicts of today.

Independent Consulting - the setup
For a few months now I've been contemplating quitting my day job to be an independent database consultant. I finally took the plunge a few months ago, landing a large client doing some advanced data architecture work. So far I'm very happy. In fact it looks like I may be landing some additional contracts, including one with a former employer. What I found most fascinating is the process of setting myself up as an independent entity. I was given the option of working W2 for an outsourcer, 1099, or corp-to-corp. I was given this same opportunity a decade ago and went the safe and simple W2 route. I had to make the decision this time quickly and I knew from collegues that C2C was the most lucrative, if you want to be a little more proactive in your finances. I chose the C2C route this time and am learning the intricacies of how you have to set yourself up to maximize your income in this arrangement. Corp-to-Corp is by far the most complicated arrangement but you should be able to defer tax on a larger portion of your income. These notes are mostly for me to remember how I have things set up, but maybe someone else can use them. In no way am I advocating that this is the proper setup for anyone else. This is not tax or legal advice.
In these few blog posts I'm not going to cover marketing, the benefits of hanging out your own shingle, how to collect payment, etc. I'm solely going to focus on the tax ramifications of being an independent consultant. Why? It seemed very confusing to me while I read various web pages, books, magazine articles, etc, until I realized there are a few basics to understand and each reference I used assumed a certain setup that may or may not be applicable. Once you have the basics you can dive into the complex topics without confusion.
I'm not a tax-expert, lawyer, or anything like that so if you use my notes as a guide to set yourself up similarly, you're crazy. Do your own research and consult with experts. Since I have no desire to hire additional employees (other than my wife and kids, discussed later), I'm just a simple freelancer, my situation seemed to be very simple. It was important to my client that they only sign deals with an "entity" to ensure that later I'm not reclassified as an employee. The easiest thing to do is setup an LLC (limited liability company). Your clients do not need to file a 1099 if you are incorporated (or have an LLC) and your client contracts with the corporation and not you personally. Make sure your client knows that this is in his best interest since the IRS flags companies that file "excessive" 1099s as trying to misclassify employees as independent contractors.
First, it's helpful to understand [[Some Tax Basics For IT Consultants|some tax basics]]. Without a decent grounding of tax issues you won't fully understand if an LLC, S Corp, or "LLC taxed as an S Corp" is the right choice for you. To keep you from dying of anticipation the best entity for an independent IT consultant seems to be an LLC taxed as an S Corp.

Pine Nuts, also known as Pignoli, have been a delicacy in many cuisines for centuries. Perhaps best known as an ingredient in the world-famous sauce "pesto," pine nuts have been eaten since the Paleolithic period. Pine Nuts are the nut which is produced from several varieties of Pine Trees. The strong flavor of Pine Nuts mellows with cooking and is replaced with a nutty, almost sweet taste.
Suggested Use: Pine Nuts are delicious toasted and sprinkled on salads, pilaf, couscous or pasta. Pine Nuts are a main ingredient in traditional pesto sauce and a primary ingredient in Italian pignolia cookies. They're also a tasty addition to pizza, quick breads and muffins.
Ingredients: Pine nuts. (Contains tree nuts).
Basic Prep: Add Pine Nuts directly to recipe or toast for a nuttier flavor. Do not toast pine nuts when using in cookies or other baked recipes.

vSAN 6.7 delivers a new HCI experience with enhanced operational efficiencies that reduces time-to-expertise and accelerates decision making. This release provides a more consistent, resilient and secure application experience, and leverages people, technology and analytics to deliver an enhanced support experience with simpler, faster time to resolution. More businesses build their digital foundation from edge to core to cloud with VMware vSAN than any other HCI solution.
Learn about the new capabilities of vSAN 6.7
vSAN named a leader in the 2018 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Hyper-Converged Infrastructure.View the Report
The most significant new capabilities and updates of vSAN 6.7 include:
HTML5 User Interface
A completely redesigned user interface delivers a modern management experience. The new interface was built using the same framework as other VMware products, so you'll have a unified and intuitive experience managing the most complete SDDC stack. In addition, the new UI delivers optimized workflows to reduce the number of clicks to perform many functions.
vRealize Operations within vCenter
Customers get two ways to manage their vSAN environments with vRealize Operations: Global operations overview in vCenter, and advanced monitoring, troubleshooting and capacity management with vRealize Operations. Customers gain a single pane of glass to monitor and control their HCI environment through vRealize Operations insights directly within vCenter, providing an overview of vSAN and vSphere environments as well as surfacing up critical alerts and operations insights. Customers can then expand the insights and actions as well as expedite time-to-value with full vRealize Operations advanced capabilities, including full environment overview across stretched clusters, troubleshooting with metrics and logs, and capacity management including time remaining, reclamation and deduplications and compression savings.
Introducing vSAN ReadyCare
vSAN ReadyCare support highlights VMware's commitment to vSAN customers and delivers holistic support through people, analytics and technology. Through predictive modelling in vSAN Support Insight, VMware analyzes anonymous data from thousands of vSAN customers and pushes alerts to customers before issues arise. In addition, vSAN Health Services provide real-time support notifications and remediation recommendations.
FIPS 140-2 Validated Encryption
vSAN offered the first native HCI encryption solution for data-at-rest, and now with vSAN 6.7, vSAN Encryption is the first FIPS 140-2 validated software solution, meeting stringent US Federal Government requirements. vSAN Encryption delivers lower data protection costs and greater flexibility by being hardware agnostic and by offering simplified key management. This is also the first HCI solution with a DISA-approved STIG.
Increased Application Resiliency
vSAN delivers a more consistent application experience for end users with intelligent, self-healing capabilities that include adaptive resynchronization, fast failovers for air gapped networks, and replica consolidation. Adaptive Resync intelligently manages IO traffic to minimize disruptions to applications during resync operations. Replica consolidation reduces the time and effort to enter a host into maintenance mode. Finally, air gapped network failover times are eliminated due to immediate failover.
Enhanced Stretched Cluster Availability
Stretched Cluster deployments are further enhanced with intelligent witness traffic separation, primary site override, and efficient resyncs. Witness traffic separation and efficient resync optimizes the path and size of data transmitted over each link, making failovers transparent to application end users. Primary site override heightens availability of workloads by better logic in the event of site failure.
Optimized Next-Generation Applications
vSAN utilizes a new storage policy—vSAN Host Pinning—to adapt the efficiency and resiliency of vSAN for next-generation, shared-nothing applications. With this policy, vSAN maintains a single copy of the data and stores the data blocks with the ESXi host running the VM. This option is of particularly important for applications like Big Data (Hadoop), NoSQL (such as DataStax), and other applications that maintain data redundancy at the application layer.
Increased Support for Business-Critical Application Deployments
vSAN now supports more mission-critical application deployments through Windows Server Failover Clusters (WSFC) support, which reduces complexity of storage management for those workloads and helps customers accelerate their move toward a unified SDDC experience.
Proactive Support via vSAN Support Insight
Proactive support increases the reliability of vSAN through alerts before infrastructure problems arise, as well as reduced reactive support times by gathering data periodically. This feature requires enrollment in the Customer Experience Improvement Program.
Adaptive Core Dump Support
Adaptive Core Dump Support reduces vSAN support time to resolution for a greater number of deployment types by automatically configuring the direction and size of valuable data used to expedite support.
Increased Hardware Support
vSAN now supports 4Kn disk drives, future proofing vSAN deployments and creating an opportunity for you to lower your storage TCO.

Today to present to you my second Aussie artist; Miami Horror. Some of you may have noticed them in the Jukebox and you may have heard Prez expressing his disappointment in the Shoutbox when he was unable to see them live. Well sorry Prez, I have seen them live and I loved them. Miami Horror is the work of one Mr. Benjamin Plant, an electronic music producer from Melbourne. Their earlier productions can be defined as somewhat hard electro backed by soft, melodious synths that give the tracks an almost spacey and futuristic theme. Whereas their newer productions, most notably 'Sometimes' averts its focus from the hard and narrows in on the soft. Miami Horror has a new album due on 20th August, and from album previews it appears as if they are continuing on this new softer theme.
Earlier Productions (Bravado EP):
Illumination is a great example of their hard electro style. Also, the album due out on the 2th is also titled Illumination (No doubt after this track) so its surprising that what I've heard so far strays so far from this harder theme.
Miami Horror - Illumination [click to download]
Make You Mine is currently in the Jukebox, but I thought I'd draw more focus to this track and offer a download link. This track is very groovy, and quite different in contrast to Illumination or Summerfest.

Miami Horror - Dont Be On With Her [click to download]

Just for kicks, here's the Fred Falke remix of Make You Mine.
Miami Horror - Make You Mine (Fred Falke Remix) [click to download]
Newer Productions (Illumination):
Moon Theory is the first single (besides from Sometimes) from the album. Not my favourite track however.

Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro said Monday's slaying of former Miss Venezuela and popular actress Mónica Spear seemed more like a targeted killing than a random act of violence.
During a meeting Tuesday with national leaders to discuss the country's rampant crime, Maduro said he'd been talking to police investigators throughout the day.
"[Monday's] assassination seemed more like a sicariato," he said, using a word for contract killing. But he didn't provide any details about how he'd reached that conclusion.
Maduro said officials have caught one of the perpetrators and identified the rest.
"We are going to find them," he said.
On Tuesday, Venezuelan officials had suggested that Spear's murder might have been an attempted robbery. And neighbors along the stretch of road in Carabobo state, where the crime took place, told local media that thieves often seed the highway with spikes to disable cars and rob their drivers.
Spear, who has spent time in Miami, was killed Monday night along with her ex-husband while inside their car.
Their five-year-old daughter was shot in the leg but is in stable condition, Ricardo Spear, the actress' brother told NTN24 television.
"She doesn't know that her parents are dead — that they were murdered," he said. "And she doesn't know she was shot...She thinks her mother hit her."
The murder of Spear, 29, murder has revived the debate about Venezuelan violence. The country has one of the highest homicide rates in the world as illegal guns swamp the streets and killers rarely face justice. By some calculations, Venezuela had almost 25,000 murders last year.
On Wednesday, actors, musicians and artists held a vigil for Spear and presented a plea to National Assembly members to crack down on crime.
"What's happening here doesn't happen anywhere else in Latin America, and whoever says differently is simply lying," Asier Cazalis, the vocalist for the popular rock group Caramelos de Cianuro, told Televen television. "I go to Colombia to work, I go to Mexico to work and it's not even remotely like what's happening here."
In 2012, the band's manager, Libero Iaizzo, was killed in Caracas during a presumed robbery.
"Artists are like anyone else — like a lawyer or a taxi driver — but our work is in front of the public," Cazalis said. "We're not exempt from what's happening in Venezuela."
Spear won Miss Venezuela in 2004 and was the fourth runner-up in Miss Universe in 2005. She spun her fame into a successful acting career. Her last television show was Pasión Prohibida, a telenovela produced by Miami's Telemundo.
Spear isn't the only celebrity to become a victim of Venezuela's crime. In 2012, reggae singer Juan David Chacón, known as OneChot, was shot in the head, but survived the attack. In 2011, Washington Nationals Catcher Wilson Ramos was kidnapped for two days before being rescued. And actress Elaiza Gil told local media she was robbed twice in 2012, including at gunpoint.

Fencing: Irish earn 15 medals at home
Joe Wirth | Monday, March 7, 2011
The No. 1 Irish men's and women's fencing teams won a total 15 medals at the Midwest Fencing Conference Championships this weekend.
Winning gold in two of the six individual tournaments highlighted the performance for the Irish, who also brought home four silvers and nine bronzes.
Senior Hayley Reese captured gold in the women's foil in the morning session by going 6-0 in her pool bouts. Reese defeated Irish freshman Rachel Beck 11-9 in the semifinals and then took out Northwestern's Dayana Sarkisova to take home the gold.
Irish Freshman Adriana Camacho came in a tie for third in the foil.
Junior Courtney Hurley won her second gold in three years i
n the épée, but it was not without some difficulty. She won hard fought bouts in both the semifinals and finals, defeating Karalina Collins of Northwestern 15-8 in the semifinals, and holding off Caroline Piasecka of Ohio State by a score of 15-11 to secure the gold in the finals.
Senior Sarah Borrmann earned the silver in the women's sabre competition. Her run came to an end in the finals with a 15-10 defeat to Ohio State's Margarita Tschomakova.
The Irish had three other fencers in the quarterfinals: sophomore Lian Osier, senior Eileen Hassett and sophomore Marta Stepien, but Borrmann was the only one to earn a medal.
On the men's side, junior Enzo Castellani won the silver in the men's foil. Castellani went 6-0 in pool play and was the top seed heading into the direct elimination portion of the competition. He defeated teammate Nick Kubik in the semifinals by a score of 15-9 before losing to Ohio State's Zain Shaito in the finals.
In the men's sabre division, senior Barron Nydam earned the silver for the Irish. Like Castellani, Nydam went 6-0 in pool play and was the top seed heading into the direct elimination.
He defeated teammate Jason Choy in the semifinals, but then, like many Irish fencers this weekend, fell to a Buckeye in the finals. Ohio State's Rhys Douglas defeated Nydam 15-9 in the championship bout.
The Irish will begin their championship run next Saturday at the NCAA Regionals at Wayne State in Detroit.

Culture Shock and Adjustment
What is Culture Shock?
Leaving home and traveling to study in a new country can be a stressful experience. Even though it may be something you have planned and prepared for, the extent of the change and the effects studying abroad can have on you may take you by surprise.
"Culture shock" describes the impact of moving from a familiar culture to one which is unfamiliar. It is an experience familiar to anyone who has traveled abroad to live, work, or study. It can even affect people who are just overseas on a brief holiday. The effects result from the stresses of a new environment, meeting lots of new people, and learning the language and the ways of a different culture. Culture shock also can come from the ordeal of being separated from your friends, family, colleagues, and other people you would normally talk to in times of uncertainty. When familiar sights, sounds, taste, and smells are suddenly no longer there, you may find yourself missing them very much and feeling miserable in your new surroundings. If. This is a completely normal part of living in a new culture, and should be embraced rather than feared. After all, the fact that you are experiencing culture shock means that you are getting out of your comfort zone, learning, and growing. According to a study aconducted by the University of Minnesota, a reason that some students do NOT experience culture shock is because they surround themselves with friends and food from their home culture rather than exploring their host country. If you don't want to experience life abroad, why leave home? Although each person experiences culture shock to some degree, it is important to remember that it is a very personal experience and affects each individual differently. There are some general phases, however, that can be used to describe the cycle of cross-cultural adjustment.
Stage 1: Initial Euphoria
You arrive in your study abroad location and everything seems exciting and different. The food is exotic, the architecture is unique, and you're interested in all the new sights around you. You tend to be more in-tune to the visible aspects of your new culture, and don't see the hidden differences. This phase is one in which most tourists remain during a short visit to a new country.
Stage 2: Cultural Confrontation
Your initial excitement diminishes as the process of cultural adjustment begins. Everything seems much more difficult than it is at home, and even getting to and from class without losing your way is a major accomplishment. Communication is challenging, even if you are living in an English-speaking country! As you have more interaction with your new culture, you become frustrated with differences, particularly those you don't understand. Things you may find challenging in your host country include concepts of time, personal space, meal schedules and food, gender relations, and the need to walk or use public transportation. Homesickness emerges as you long for the food, friends, and conveniences of home. You have mood swings as you fluctuate from enthusiasm to frustration with your host culture. You may find yourself gravitating towards other foreign students, as they can relate to your challenges. While these friends can provide a great support system, you should also attempt to develop friendships with people from your host country.
Stage 3: Cultural Adjustment
You slowly develop strategies for coping with cultural differences. You learn to observe those around you, and to be open-minded. You identify a cultural informant (a friend, host family member, or program director) who can help you better understand aspects of your new culture. You regain your sense of humor, and take pride in small accomplishments. While other foreign students continue to be friends, you also make efforts to meet members of your host country. While you continue to experience challenges, you feel more comfortable and confident in your host culture.
Stage 4: Cultural Adaptation
You now feel comfortable in your host country, and have established a routine. You have integrated aspects of your host culture into your daily life, and have developed an appreciation for differences. You are able to communicate more easily, and have made friends. While you look forward to seeing friends and family at the end of your program, you know that you will miss living abroad.
Stage 5: Cultural Re-adaptation: Returning Home
Upon your return home, you may find that you pass through all of the above cycles again. At first, you're thrilled to see familiar faces and places. You don't expect to have any problems readjusting; after all, you are home. You find, however, that you miss aspects of your host culture. You see your home culture in a new light. You have changed, and so have your family and friends. You struggle to describe your study abroad experience to those who hope for a one-sentence response. You find yourself gravitating to other study abroad returnees, as they understand what you are going through. Eventually, you reconcile your new self and your old life, and identify ways in which to keep your study abroad experience alive.
Past study abroad participants have identified the following suggestions for students adapting to a new culture:
- Identify a cultural informant. This may be a member of your host family, another student, or program staff member who is willing to listen to your frustrations and help explain cultural differences.
- Get involved at your university or in your community. Many universities have clubs or extracurricular activities. Consider volunteering in your host community to gain a different perspective on life in your host country.
- Keep a journal, which can be a valuable record of your personal responses and the details of your study abroad experience, something to look back on in later years.
- Explore your host city.
- Maintain physical activity.
- Take things one step at a time; don't expect too much from yourself too soon.
- If you miss food from home, offer to cook a meal for your host family or friends.
- Maintain your sense of humor; it will be your most valuable asset!
If you or a friend experience severe symptoms of culture shock such as repeated risky behavior, depression, or personality changes, please let a staff member know immediately.

To read the history of this problem, see the 2nd post of this thread (scroll down).
A number of new firmwares for the Samsung Galaxy Tab come with "signed / protected" bootloaders. These new bootloaders prevent you from flashing custom or otherwise unsigned kernels on the device. Trying to do so anyway will result in errors and usually requires you to reflash your ROM completely.
I hope everybody here has learned the lesson not to just flash anything that SamFirmware releases
The patch
After a great many hours of researching, testing and coding, myself (Chainfire) and Rotohammer have come up with a patch that works on most devices (currently all known GSM Tab variants), and flashes back unprotected JJ4 (T-Mobile ?) bootloaders, or the original P1000N bootloaders for the Latin models. The app only patches when it finds protected bootloaders, and you have to press a button for that, so the app can also be used to look at your current status.
The patch has been tested repeatedly and with success on (0 bricks so far):
- GT-P1000 Euro/International/Unbranded Galaxy Tab
- SGH-I987 AT&T Galaxy Tab
- SGH-I987 Rogers Galaxy Tab
- SGH-T849 T-Mobile Galaxy Tab
- GT-P1000L Latin Galaxy Tab (use LATIN version!)
- GT-P1000N Latin Galaxy Tab (use LATIN version!)
Additional thanks to: koush, neldar, richardtrip, AColwill, farahbolsey, deezid, wgery, tmaurice, rmanaudio, crisvillani, alterbridge86, ivannw, themartinohana, luisfer691 (in no particular order!)
Please note that even though there have not been any bricks so far, replacing bootloaders is a very dangerous operation that may BRICK your device, and you should think twice before using the patch. Using the patch is completely AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Download the attached APK, install it on your device, and run it. It will show you a status screen, and if your device is compatible and you have protected bootloaders, the bottom entry "Patch bootloaders" will become available. Tapping it will start the patch procedure.
Note that the patch requires root !
--- After the fix, my "zImage" still shows signed ! Is this a problem ?
No, this is perfectly fine! What matters is that "PBL", "SBL" and "SBL_Backup" are not signed. If "zImage" is signed, it means this ROM can be flashed onto a device that has signed bootloaders. UNsigned "zImage"s can NOT be flashed on signed bootloaders. This is the origin of the problem, because custom kernels are always UNsigned "zImage"s !
--- Can I now flash any ROM and just use this application to fix the bootloaders ?
Technically yes. But it would be stupid to do so. Flashing bootloaders (what this app does) is VERY dangerous, it is the only way to really brick a Tab. If you want to flash a new ROM, make sure it DOES NOT contain bootloaders. Remove them yourself, or wait for somebody else (like Rotohammer) to remove the bootloaders and post the "safe" ROM. Even though this patch is available, if at all possible, you should always try to avoid having to use it.
CDMA tabs
There is currently no support for CDMA Galaxy Tabs, nor do we know if support is needed at this time.
You are expressly forbidden to repost the APK elsewhere. If you post about this, post a link to this thread, not to the download (or a repost of the download).
Don't forget to donate and/or press the thanks button!

Exec Fight: Ben Silverman vs. Steve McPherson
This seems like a beef that can only be settled one way: with a sunset knife fight on the Malibu cliffs.
You may remember way back to mid-July, when NBC wunderkind Ben Silverman announced that Isaiah Washington, recently axed from ABC hit Grey's Anatomy, was being added to the cast of NBC's Bionic Woman. A gleeful Silverman described a conversation he had with Washington during which Washington told him he would be available in the fall. "Wait, I don't understand," Silverman claimed he said. "What do you mean? You're a huge star on a star television show!"
Well, ABC president of Entertainment Steve McPherson took umbrage yesterday at Silverman's faux naivety. "He's either clueless or stupid," McPherson said. McPherson then criticized Silverman for disavowing himself of responsibility in the departure of former NBC exec Kevin Reilly. "Be a man," McPherson said. "He didn't know what went on? Was he living in a cave? … When someone stabs your best friend in the back, you don't buy it."
Of course, this being Hollywood, there's a tangled web of allegiances to keep track of. For one thing, McPherson and Reilly are longtime friends. For another, Silverman is responsible for one of ABC's biggest hits, Ugly Betty, which is produced by Silverman's old shingle Reveille. One nameless NBC exec told Variety, "Ben's producing a show for (McPherson) that just received eleven Emmy nominations. Now he's pissing on him?"
This seems like a beef that can only be settled one way: with a sunset knife fight on the Malibu cliffs. Our money's on Silverman — McPherson seems tough, but you just know Silverman will fight dirty to protect his beautiful, tanned face.

Carney added that he did not "think it's possible" to set a timetable for the evaluation of the alleged Syrian chemical attack, noting that "it is not easy business."
Last week, administration officials said initial intelligence indicated it was likely that the nerve gas sarin had been used by the Assad regime. But the White House emphasized again Monday that that assessment, while grounded in "tangible" evidence, was held with "varying degrees of confidence." Carney repeatedly insisted that investigators needed to do more work before the U.S. responded, calling the intelligence reports "not sufficient."
"There is much more to be done to verify conclusively that the red line the president has talked about has been crossed," Carney said.
