[ Ed. note — Another excellent article from Philip Giraldi about Jewish power in the US. The fact that the Russian news outlet RT is forced to register in America as a foreign agent–while Jewish billionaires raising money for Israeli occupiers are not–speaks for itself. Beyond this context, however, Giraldi provides some additional information that should outrage each and every American.
For one thing, the actual amount of US tax dollars funneled to Israel each each is far beyond the $3.8 billion we customarily hear about. Additional monies, described by Giraldi as "special funding for Israeli-connected projects," are also given. These include funding for the Iron Dome missile defense system, as well as a $12 million "legislative amendment" that was proposed by one congress member, ostensibly for the purpose of helping Israel settle its "Ethiopian community."
And then on top of all that we have a network of some 3,600 Jewish tax-exempt charitable foundations, with net assets of $26 billion, a number of which are funding illegal settlements. One such foundation is that operated by the family of Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner. Why isn't Kushner forced to register under the Foreign Agents Registration Act? Why is AIPAC likewise not forced to register, along with Jewish billionaires such as Sheldon Adelson of Haim Saban? But no, the Trump Justice Department seems to think RT poses a greater threat to US security.
Ironically, all this comes just as a bill has been introduced in Congress to require the Secretary of State to certify that US funds to Israel do not go to support detention, interrogation or abuse of children. The bill is called "Promoting Human Rights by Ending Israeli Military Detention of Palestinian Children Act," H.R. 439, and was introduced yesterday by Rep. Betty McCollum of Minnesota. Its chances of passage are probably slim, but certainly that such a bill has been introduced in the first place is a welcomed sign. ]
By Philip Giraldi
The stars came out in Hollywood on November 2nd, or at least some of them did. The gala event celebrated the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and raised funds to support its mission in Israel itself and on the occupied West Bank. The organization being fêted was the Friends of the Israel Defense Forces (FIDF), which has fourteen regional offices in the United States and operates under the slogan "Their job is to look after Israel. Our job is to look after them." In attendance were Arnold Schwarzenegger and actor Gerald Butler. Entertainment was provided by the singer Seal.
Hollywood Jewish royalty was thick on the ground, the grub was strictly kosher and billionaires competed to see who could give the most to such a worthy cause. The 1,200 attendees at the Beverly Hilton Hotel donated a record $53.8 million, with Oracle founder Larry Ellison leading the pack with a contribution of $16.6 million. Israeli media mogul Haim Saban, Hillary Clinton's most generous supporter, served as host of the event and donated $5 million. Two weeks ago, a similar gathering of 1,200 in New York City dubbed "A Night of Heroes," attended by GOP major donor casino magnate Sheldon Adelson, raised $35 million, $7 million coming from Adelson personally. FIDF reportedly was sitting on $190 million in contributions for the year before the Hollywood and New York events.
Donations to FIDF are tax deductible as the organization is registered with the U.S. Treasury as a 501(c)3 educational and charitable non-profit foundation. One might well ask how it is possible that the American taxpayer should subsidize a foreign military organization that is regularly accused of war crimes in its ongoing brutal and genocidal occupation of the Palestinian West Bank and East Jerusalem? One might also wonder how an organization that continues a military occupation in opposition to multiple United Nations resolutions that have been endorsed by Washington gets any kind of tax break at all? And finally, one might reasonably ask why an organization that already gets in excess of $3.8 billion annually directly from the U.S. Treasury needs more money to allegedly provide creature comforts for its soldiers?
The answer to all of the above would be that Jewish power in the United States makes it happen. But more particularly, it is Jewish money that does the trick since cash on the table provides access both to the media and to the people that matter in Washington. A tight circle of billionaire oligarchs, including Saban, Ellison and Adelson as well as Paul Singer and Bernard Marcus directly support organizations like FIDF as well as major pro-Israel groups like the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, the America Israel Public Affairs Committee, the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, the Anti-Defamation League and the Jewish Institute for National Security of America. The billionaires are not shy about where their loyalty lies, boasting as does Saban, that he is a one issue guy and that issue is Israel. Adelson has stated that he wishes that he had served in the Israeli army instead of the U.S. military and wants his son to grow up to "be a sniper for the IDF." Both have publicly advocated bombing Iran. In Adelson's case, the bomb would be nuclear.
Sometimes both the Israel agenda and the financial support is deliberately hidden, as in the case of the recently launched "Christian engagement in the Middle East" anti-Iran Philos Project, which was funded by Singer. The billionaires also directly donate to the campaigns of politicians and support projects that engage in the message management that is used to justify pro-Israel policies in Congress and the media.
Much of the current agitation to "do something" about Iran comes, for example, from these groups and media assets. In truth, American aid to Israel has become virtually untouchable and is something like a goose that keeps on laying golden eggs. The operation of "The Lobby," generally regarded as the most powerful voice on foreign policy in Washington, led Professors Stephen Walt and John Mearsheimer to ask, "Why has the U.S. been willing to set aside its own security … in order to advance the interests of another state? [No] explanation can account for the remarkable level of material and diplomatic support that the U.S. provides." They observed that "Other special interest groups have managed to skew foreign policy, but no lobby has managed to divert it as far from what the national interest would suggest, while simultaneously convincing Americans that U.S. interests and those of the other country—in this case, Israel—are essentially identical."
The money committed by the Jewish oligarchs on behalf of Israel has turned out to be a good investment, returning billions for millions spent. Since the foundation of the state of Israel in 1948, it has been "the largest cumulative recipient of U.S. foreign assistance since World War II," according to the Congressional Research Service. The United States has provided Israel with $233.7 billion in adjusted for inflation aid between 1948 through the end of 2012, reports Haaretz.
The $38 billion over ten years in military assistance that the Obama recently promised to Israel is far less than what will actually be received from the United States Treasury and from other American sources, including handouts from Congress. To cite only one recent example, in September Congressman Alcee Hastings proposed a legislative amendment that would give $12 million to help settle Israel's Ethiopian community. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), speaking in the most recent legislative discussion over Israeli aid, stated that the $38 billion should be regarded as a minimum amount, and that Congress should approve additional funds for Israeli defense as needed.
At its most recent meeting in March 2017, AIPAC announced the latest windfall from America, applauding "the U.S. House of Representatives for significantly bolstering its support of U.S.-Israel missile defense cooperation in the FY 2017 defense appropriations bill. The House appropriated $600.7 million for U.S.-Israel missile defense programs." And there is a long history of such special funding for Israeli-connected projects. The Iron Dome missile-defense system was largely funded by the United States, to the tune of more than $1 billion. In the 1980s, the Israeli Lavi jet-fighter development program was funded by Washington, costing $2 billion to the U.S. taxpayer before it was terminated over technical and other problems, part of $5.45 billion in Pentagon funding of various Israeli weapons projects through 2002.
How Israel gets money from the United States Treasury is actually quite complex and not very transparent to the American public, going well beyond the check for $3.8 billion handed over at the beginning of the fiscal year on October 1st. Even that check, uniquely given to aid recipient Israel as one lump sum on the first day of the year, is manipulated to produce extra revenue. It is normally immediately redeposited with the U.S. Treasury, which then, because it operates on a deficit, borrows the money to pay interest on it as the Israelis draw it down. That interest payment costs the American taxpayer an estimated $100 million more per year. Israel has also been adept at using "loan guarantees," an issue that may have contributed to the downfall of President George H.W. Bush. The reality is that the loans, totaling $42 billion, are never repaid by Israel, meaning that the United States Treasury picks up the tab on principle and interest, a form of additional assistance. The Bush-era loan amounted to $10 billion.

RANDOM House is close to revealing an author to write a sequel to Mario Puzo's "The Godfather."
The project, "The Godfather Returns," is being overseen by Random House Vice President and Executive Editor Jonathan Karp.
"We were deluged with serious writers and we're in the process of getting ready to announce it," said Karp. But he refused to divulge more. "I've taken a vow of omerta," he said.
He promises to reveal more next week – but won't say which writer has been named for at least a few more weeks.
The hardcover version will be published by the Random House imprint – often referred to as "little Random."
That's the unit of Bertelsmann's Random House Inc. that has been in turmoil for the past two weeks, ever since the firing of Ann Godoff as president, publisher and editor in chief.
Ballantine Publisher Gina Centrello replaced Godoff, and the two groups were merged under Centrello's control.
Godoff has since landed at Penguin as the editor in chief of a yet-unnamed new imprint that plans to publish up to 40 books a year.
Significantly, the paperback version of "The Godfather Returns" will be published by Ballantine – not by the fledgling Random House Trade Paperback line, which Godoff championed just over a year ago.
The speculation on the street is that Random House paid between $5 million to $8 million to Puzo's estate last year for the rights to a sequel.
Some observers saw the move to give paperback rights to Ballantine as a potentially bad sign for the new Random House paperback imprint.
But the company insists otherwise. "It makes perfect sense to publish it in a mass market paperback line like Ballantine," insisted Random House Inc. spokesman Stuart Applebaum. "It's one of Gina's first decisions, but it would be nuts for her to do it any other way than a mass-market paperback."
Mass-market books tend to be lower-priced and small enough to fit into racks everywhere, from airports to price clubs – unlike the larger-size trade paperbacks, sold primarily through bookstores.
The original paperback edition of "The Godfather" sold more than 13 million copies, making it one of the best-selling English-language books of the 20th century.
Karp, the "Godfather" editor, is one of the candidates for the vacant editor-in-chief job at Little Random.
But the list of candidates from within and outside the company is still said to be long, and insiders say a decision is probably months away.
Inside candidates include Tom Brokaw's editor, Kate Medina; outside candidates range from Julie Grau at Penguin's Riverhead imprint to Rick Kot at Viking.
Centrello could not be reached for comment.
Cutbacks are starting to sweep through the Time Inc. weeklies once again.
Rick Tetzeli, the new managing editor of Entertainment Weekly – and a protege of John Huey, the company's editorial director – is starting to put his stamp on the front of the book and the magazine's look.
"News & Notes" Editor Tom Geier has been bumped down to the book review section. Staff editor Jeff Gremillion is out. And in one of the biggest moves of the EW shakeup, photo editor Sarah Rosen is also out.
Tetzeli also added two new senior editors: Jason Adams, who was most recently at Blender, editing the "Burner" front of book section, and Ari Karpel, who was editing TV Guide's "Insider" front-of-book section.
The revolving-door editorship of the New York Press has a new name for the top seat.
Jeff Koyen – currently an associate editor of The Pill, an English-language alternative weekly in Prague – is joining the New York Press as its newest editor.
He becomes the third editor since Avalon Equity partners, owners of the New York Blade, bought out the paper from founder Russ Smith and family members in late December.
Longtime editor John Strausbaugh was fired immediately, and the job was handed to managing editor Lisa Kearns.
But Kearns decided she'd rather spend her time elsewhere. "I'm working on my last issue now," she said. "Monday is my last day."
Koyen, via e-mail, acknowledged that he is indeed coming back to New York. He said Alexander Zaitchik, a co-founder of The Pill, will be joining him in New York as an associate editor.

FDA attacks 'lose pounds quick' weight-loss frauds
SILVER SPRING, Md. — The Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday outlined a new campaign attacking fraudulent weight-loss products marketed as dietary supplements, especially those companies that proffer a "magic pill" that almost immediately achieves weight loss.
"These products are not legal dietary supplements," stated Michael Levy, director of the FDA's Division of New Drugs and Labeling Compliance. "They are actually very powerful drugs masquerading as 'all-natural' or 'herbal' supplements, and they carry significant risks to unsuspecting consumers. We have seen deaths associated with these weight-loss products. … Make no mistake — they can kill you."
To help drive home that message, the FDA has pieced together a series of commercials warning consumers against the dangers associated with these products. The commercials are located here, and an up-to-date consumer Web page can be found here.
In some cases, the FDA has found weight-loss products tainted with the prescription drug ingredient sibutramine. This ingredient was in an FDA-approved drug called Meridia, which was removed from the market in October 2010 because it caused heart problems and strokes. The FDA also has found other prescription drug ingredients that have been removed from the market or never were approved at all.
"We've found other weight-loss products marketed as supplements that contain dangerous concoctions of hidden ingredients, including seizure medications, blood-pressure medications and other drugs not approved [in the United States]," Levy said.
Many of these tainted products are imported and sold through the Internet, but some also can be found on store shelves. The FDA has made it a priority to seek out these dangerous products, stop them from being imported and take legal action against firms that manufacture and distribute them, the agency stated.
NAD refers Patent Health claims to FTC
NEW YORK — The National Advertising Division of the Council of Better Business Bureaus on Monday referred advertising for the dietary supplement Trigosamine Fast Acting (Trigo FA) to the Federal Trade Commission for further review following Patent Health's failure to modify claims.
The referral follows an initial NAD decision, a ruling from the National Advertising Review Board and complaints from Nutramax Labs, which initially challenged Patent Health's claims that appear in an advertorial — specifically, the sub-headline of a new Trigosamine advertorial claim: "Clinical trial: participants began to feel noticeable results in just days."
In addition, the advertising included the claim that "81% of the participants started feeling better just days after taking the recommended dosage," and "100% reported their joints felt better just midway through the [eight]-week clinical trial."
This "fast-relief" message is compounded further by the name of the product itself, "Trigosamine Fast Acting."
In its initial decision, the NAD found that the advertiser's "speed" claims, based on a "six-minute walk test" during a single clinical study, were not supported by the results of that study. The NAD recommended that the advertiser discontinue all claims based on the results of the six-minute walk test as measured at three days, discontinue using the term "rapid relief" and discontinue all claims that compared the performance of Trigo FA with glucosamine supplementation alone.
The NAD also addressed the advertorial format of advertising for Trigo FA and recommended the advertiser take additional steps to make it clear that what consumers were seeing was advertising, not news.
Patent Health had accepted portions of the NAD decision and stated it would discontinue claims that included speed-of-action claims, direct glucosamine comparison claims and claims that the product, when combined with glucosamine, "improves absorption of nutrients and works quickly to improve mobility and flexibility." Patent Health, however, believed that its study supported a claim of results in as few as three days of beginning supplementation and sought the NARB's review of this claim, as well as the NARB's position on its advertorial, NAD reported. NARB upheld the NAD's decision in both respects.
The NAD opened two compliance reviews of advertising for the product in August 2010 and again in January 2011, following complaints from the original challenger in the case.
Although the NAD noted that the advertiser implemented some of the changes recommended by both the NAD and NARB, recently published advertising contained many of the same claims, presented in the same advertorial format.
The current advertising, the NAD noted in its compliance decision, disregards "the spirit and the letter of both the NAD and NARB decisions. Accordingly, since the advertiser has not made a bona fide attempt to bring its advertising into compliance with the recommendations in the NAD or NARB decision, NAD [has] concluded that the self-regulatory process has been exhausted and is referring the matter to the FTC for possible enforcement action."

Careers Advice
Careers Education
Careers Education begins in Year 7 and is continued throughout the years which follow, to ensure that each child is fully aware of the opportunities open to them and the ways in which to progress to achieve their chosen career path.
The College uses individual sessions as well as whole day activities to ensure students are guided with their careers choices; whether it is researching career opportunities or applying for a job vacancy, full time college course or apprenticeship. An example of whole day activities include: Year 7 My Dream Job Workshop and Year 11 Life After All Hallows Workshop. Bespoke workshops have also been run for Year 11-13 students on Applying for Apprenticeships, CV and Letter Writing. Year 8 students have also research career opportunities through the writing of blogs. Year 9 students have been given opportunities to meet real business people in workshops and visit local universities. Year 10 students have been given opportunities for work experience (see below).
The College works with closely with a highly experienced and impartial careers advisor, Mrs Jean Pilling, from Changing Education. Mrs Pilling has been with us for over 3 years now and she has seen over 1000 students in this time.
Mrs Pilling sees students for 45 minute careers interviews across Years 9 to Year 13. These students may have requested appointments themselves, or been nominated by pastoral staff. If any parents would like their son or daughter to have a careers interview then please notify the relevant Year Leader who can ensure names are added to the list. In the first instance she sees students who are unsure as to their career paths after the end of their studies as well as students who would benefit from an interview to motivate them.
Mrs Pilling is with us each Monday and Thursday and is always open to students visiting her in her office during her drop in times. These are usually lunch times. Her office is found next to the music rooms.
The college works with Cheshire East Youth Support Service (formerly Connexions) for careers support of those students with an EHCP. We also use Changing Education with our careers support for all other students. In some cases students with an EHCP may be seen by both organisations.
Mrs Garvey (Key Stage 5) and Mr Blades (Key Stages 3 and 4) are also available to help any students with careers information.
For two years the College has also worked with the Macclesfield Pledge. This organisation works through the Macclesfield Chamber of Commerce and aims to prevent students from being NEET (not in employment, education and training). Students involved in this scheme participate in a range of in house activities with real business people and external visits that will ensure they understand what employers are looking for in new recruits. This year we have extend the Macc Pledge scheme to have a separate sixth form group, a small SEN group as well as the larger Key Stage 4 group.
Key Stage 4 Students take over the workplace:
At All Hallows Catholic College we regularly provide opportunities for students to experience the workplace. Over the last 12 months more than 300 students in Year 10 and 12 have worked with employers for 4 or 5 days as part of our Takeover Days scheme – based on the national Student Takeover Day initiative. These students gain a valuable insight into employments and learn skills. The College would like to thank all employers who have helped us over the last 12 months. I am sure they have learned from the students as well as the students learn from them

Research overview
Lysosomes are a subset of organelles that are crucial for cellular function, as epitomised by the 50 human diseases that are caused by mutations in the genes encoding lysosomal and associated proteins. My laboratory is interested in the function of novel uncharacterised lysosomal transmembrane proteins, their roles in normal cellular function and the events that unfold when these proteins become dysfunctional in lysosomal diseases. We are particularly interested in applying our research on lysosomal proteins to other human diseases, particularly infectious and neurodegenerative diseases. Lysosomal research is an emerging area owing to the development of new tools capable of measuring lysosomal function at the acidic pH found within these compartments. My lab utilises these tools to investigate the function of this enigmatic class of organelles.
My first degree was an undergraduate masters in Biochemistry (M.Biochem) at the University of Bath. During this degree I spent 11 months (2 successive placements) in the lab of Prof. Tony Futerman at the Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot, Israel. It was here that I gained an interest in lysosomal storage diseases, researching the role of altered endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ homeostasis in Gaucher disease. Following my degree in 2002 I moved to Oxford to do my DPhil with Prof. Fran Platt at the Glycobiology Institute. Here I researched the role of the simple sphingolipid sphingosine in the pathogenesis of Niemann-Pick type C1. Upon completion of my DPhil In 2005, I moved with Fran to the Department of Pharmacology (Oxford) where, in collaboration with Prof. Antony Galione, we developed techniques to study lysosomal Ca2+ homeostasis in the lysosomal diseases. In 2010 I was appointed as an RCUK Fellow at the School of Biosciences, Cardiff University, to continue my research into lysosomal function.
Our current interests
- Mechanisms regulating lysosomal calcium ion (Ca2+) and zinc ion (Zn2+) homeostasis in health and disease
- Use of superparamagnetic ferrofluid to purify lysosomes
- Function of the NPC1 protein as a lysosomal RND multi-substrate permease and it's role in tuberculosis
- Sterol precursor inhibition of the NPC1 protein as a therapeutic target for the sterol biosynthetic disease Smith-Lemli-Opitz Syndrome
- Role of lysosomal dysfunction in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease
- Mechanisms of pathogenesis and therapy development for soluble lysosomal protein diseases (MPS type II, NPC2, Tay-Sachs)

Buttery Crusted Peach Strawberry Galatte… A Quick & Easy Peasy Summer Dessert…!! Serve with a scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream, YUMM…
Strawberries, Apples or Peaches; be it any fruit season and that calls for a day to bake your delicious desserts! This is my first time preparing a galatte even though I have baked pies before. Yeah I know what you might be thinking; unlike other newbie bakers, I went from complex to easy! Anyways, my first galatte turned out to be awesome…
So what made me do a galatte? It all started with my friend's long time desire to go for a strawberry picking festival and every year she kept on missing it as the picking season is usually for a short span. But this time she kept on tracking the dates and finally was able to plan it out. Although my hubby is not so keen into these events, he surprisingly agreed this time to come along. We all visited Eckerts Belleville Farm, Illinois which was actually a nice drive, giving us a chance to go past St. Louis, the east of it, across Missouri all the way up to Illinois. The farm is vast & beautiful with many varieties of fruits and vegetables being cultivated, including peaches, apples, blackberries, tomatoes and many more. On the day we visited, they had a fair going on with lots of fun activities & kids rides. Also the food at their restaurant and deli were fresh & delicious. We really enjoyed our time there picking strawberries, taking pictures and left back home with bags full of strawberries. If you are in the St. Louis area, check out Eckerts Farms to spend a fun filled day!
I guess this happens to everybody and not only me; whenever I go for any picking I bring back a lot without realizing how much I really need, and then it's a struggle to finish them. But on the good side, that gears me up to explore a bunch of recipes to finish the fruit in every possible way, be it a cobbler, smoothie, pie, strudel… or even an ice cream!! But I would still end up having leftovers which I finally freeze; I don't want to see the same fruit thereafter for the next few months, Lol!!
So coming back to my recipe for the day, this galatte is so easy to prepare and is nothing when compared to other baked desserts. I have used strawberries and peaches; their sour and sweet flavours complement each other and taste great when combined together. The crust is buttery flaky and its sweet with the fruits, tastes best if served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. You can also try this recipe with other summer fruits of your choice, like Berries, Peach, Apple, Rhubarb, etc, they all make a wonderful Galatte.
Enjoy, Happy Cooking!!!

Buttery Crusted Peach Strawberry Galatte… A Quick & Easy Peasy Summer Dessert...!! Serve with a scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream, YUMM…
- 1¼ cup flour
- 1 tbsp sugar
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 stick of cold butter (cubed)
- 4 tbsp ice cold water
- 2 cups fresh strawberries (hulled and sliced into half)
- 2 peaches (peeled, pitted and sliced)
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp flour
- 1 egg (beaten)
- Granulated sugar (to sprinkle)
Combine flour, sugar and salt in a food processor. Pulse until it mixes well. Add the cubed cold butter, pulse until it looks like a coarse meal with some crumbles. Sprinkle 1-2 tbsp ice cold water at a time and pulse until the dough comes together.
Transfer it into a work surface; gently knead the dough to make a ball. Flatten it into a small disk shaped size, wrap it in a plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1-2 hrs (or up to 3 days).
Combine peaches, strawberries, sugar, vanilla extract and flour in a medium sized bowl and let it sit for 20 minutes.
Preheat oven to 400 degree F.
Place the cold dough between two parchment sheet papers. This helps to roll the dough neatly and it prevents sticking to the bottom. Roll the dough between the papers into a 12 inch circle, trim the edges if necessary to form a circular shape. Remove the top sheet and carefully transfer the dough along with its bottom sheet to a baking tray.
Spoon the fruit mix on to the center of the dough leaving a 2 inch gap around the border. Drizzle 1-2 tbsp fruit juices from the mix (do not add more as it makes the dough soggy).
Fold the edges over the fruit mix, pleating it as you fold to give a uniform circular shape. Gently press the edges to seal.
For decoration and giving the final baked galatte a golden crust, brush the beaten eggs on the outer crust and sprinkle sugar.
Bake for 30-35 minutes until the crust turns golden brown and the fruit mix starts to bubble up.
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.

LOS ANGELES — Private Media Group received a green light this afternoon from a federal judge to collect $500,000 from the operators of XonDemand.com.
XonDemand.com had earlier been found liable for infringing on 30 of Private's movies, with Private seeking up to $4.5 million in damages.
But U.S. Judge John Kronstadt said that after reviewing supplemental materials, Private still hadn't provided enough evidence to support the $4.5 million demand.
Private counsel recently supplied licensing agreements, including an explanation of their terms — a 50 percent revenue-share deal — to the court in their request for the multimillion-dollar award.
"Although the new submissions show that [Private] entered licensing agreements with others and the terms of such agreements, once again no admissible evidence has been provided as to the amount of revenues generated by these agreements and how they compare to what [Private] received from [XonDemand] during the period when it was a licensee," Kronstadt said in his ruling.
"Moreover, [Private] still has not provided persuasive evidence as to what other, ancillary revenues [XonDemand] may have generated as a result of its infringing activities."
But, in the end, Kronstadt said that because XonDemand was liable for piracy of 30 titles of the more than 200 titles originally licensed, or about 15 percent of them, he would award statutory damages of $500,000, plus attorneys fees.
Kronstadt in his decision noted that he weighed the value of the infringment in terms of lost revenue as well as the societal value of the deterrent effect of a judgment in the case.
Private spokesman Jason Tucker told XBIZ that "this was not a straightforward copyright infringement case."
"This case was the byproduct of a terminated agreement so again it was not as clear cut as our other cases," he said. ""We are happy with the judgment and look forward to collecting it from XOD and personally from its president, Frank Ryan."
The case against XonDemand began in August 2010 when Barcelona-based Private said it discovered that XonDemand was "committing over 30 separate instances of copyright infringement and over 1,000 separate and distinct instances of trademark infringement" by continuing to rent Private videos by the minute or flat rate after a deal between the two companies was terminated.
XonDemand contended it never received a termination letter, all the while paying commissions to Private, and that it removed content "immediately after someone at XonDemand learned of this lawsuit."
Later, industry attorney Clyde DeWitt told the court that he had difficulties with his client, XonDemand, because the company has only paid a fraction of its attorneys fees and that he'd been having difficulty communicating with the company, specifically Ryan, XonDemand's president, who didn't return messages.
At one point, a settlement deal was in the works to transfer XonDemand.com to Private, Tucker earlier told XBIZ.
"The settlement agreement was all there, but we never got the signature," he said at the time.
XonDemand has been without representation in recent courtroom proceedings against the company, including Wednesday's hearing in Kronstadt's courtroom.
XBIZ was unable to reach Ryan by post time.

About the Blog
What is Future for America?
The eight long Bush years have not been easy on the world, not to mention the United States itself. Not satisfied with wrecking foreign relations and launching a full scale war, the Bush administration has caused countrywide disaster. George W. Bush's resume includes: bringing America further down into debt; dragging its economy to the point of recession; failing to engage in education and healthcare; as well as practically ignoring climate change, and this is just the tip of the iceberg.
As most of you will agree the 2008 presidential election is anything but ordinary, providing extraordinary candidates, from both parties, in a time when the American people is screaming for better leadership.
Because this election is so extraordinary it demands an extraordinary blog, covering events in the heat leading up to the election as well as the presidential nominee's actions in office. I chose to name this blog Future for America because this election is all about the future. Thanks to the Bush years the United States is facing a tremendous crisis and speculations if the empire is about to fall goes further than this blog. The politics of tomorrow need to be different, they have to be different, if America is to recover.
With that said the question still remains; Who is most capable of providing the so desperately needed change in Washington?
John-McCain-loyalists will tell you, without a doubt, that he will be the best Commander in Chief. I, on the other hand, join the chorus of voices who chant "Yes We Can, Yes We Can!", pointing to a full size Barack Obama poster.
However, the importance of these events does not stop with the election. The future president's actions after taking office will decide wether America will rise up and meet the challenges of the 21st century. Therefore this blog will stretch beyond the issues of the election, covering the aftermath and most importantly the future politics of America. Future for America will not be satisfied with mere promises of better politics; only when actions to enforce these changes take place will there be hope for this nation.
Who is behind Future for America?
I'm a student who, like so many others, got interested in American politics when I first saw Barack Obama on stage in November 2007. Having joined the grunts of disgust and despair during the Bush years I could do nothing but get intrigued by Barack Obama's clear message of change when he announced his candidacy for president of the United States.
Since that day my interest for American politics have grown rapidly. I have followed the first steps of the prolonged primaries, watched the fights and smears dividing the democratic party and I have seen Barack Obama and John McCain rise up and accept the nominations at the Democratic and Republican Conventions.
With the election so close I feel it is time to share my views and intrigue others to discuss the future, not only of America but of every nation. More important than the election is the actions afterwards. We need to make sure the promises made during the heat of the campaigns are sincere and will be fulfilled.

One Response to "About the Blog"
I agree that Bush is no good to the US and a change is critical for the nation. I belive that alot wil change if Obama is voted for president and I agree on the aspect where the promises has to be fulfulled to avoid deceit and trust.

Looks like our friends in the Republican-dominated Florida Legislature just can't help themselves.
They promised not to be distracted by divisive side issues. They said they would stick to important stuff like jobs and the budget. It was going to be all business for Florida residents.
Who are we kidding?
This week, they signed off on three abortion bills, using the typical inflammatory anti-abortion language of "killing" children.
They had a two-and-a-half hour debate, and surely it's not over.
Not only that, but they are back to talking about school prayer, with a proposed bill to authorize sectarian or proselytizing prayers.
Maybe the conservative fanatics in the Legislature should just start Tebow-ing before every session.
Better yet, they should stick to the business they were sent to Tallahassee for. Like putting people back to work.

I would first like to thank Professor Crane for writing an admittedly "uncomfortable" article for me to read regarding conservatives at Williams. That being said, I offer, in the spirit of civil and robust debate, my equally "uncomfortable" response:
I agree with Professor Crane that procedural symmetry is important. That is, funding for unofficial student groups like "Uncomfortable Learning" can and should follow certain guidelines, but the conceptual framework of his article is troubling. Just consider the context he provides: "A very small conservative group" has nefariously leveraged their privilege into dollars, bringing speakers to campus in an ideological alliance with the "right-wing media." For students who are, in fact, conservative, that's not exactly apocalyptic.
This context, whether true or not, suggests an irreparable ideological fault-line running through campus–minority conservatives and majority liberal. Sadly, Professor Crane's contention that conservatives on campus somehow don't follow the rules contributes to that division.
I think the larger intellectual challenge is to avoid these generalizations. To his credit, Crane admits ideological labels are fluid, particularly among academics, but the same is true with students. I might, for example, lean left on social issues but consider Paul Ryan something of a political hero of mine (full disclosure: he is). A "liberal" friend might believe strongly in an inclusive immigration policy but spurn environmentalism.
Thus I would challenge faculty and students at Williams to view the issue of political ideology without such rigid classifications. This might seem self-evident, but I think this recent debate serves as a useful reminder that labels, even those such as "liberal" and "conservative," can lead to misinformation and misunderstanding. Political diversity comes in many shapes and sizes.
I might also challenge the assumption that student groups such as "Uncomfortable Learning" are instruments of outside conservative moneyed interests. This approach to the problem ignores the very fact that the students themselves choose the speakers. Sure, we can criticize access to resources, but we should not criticize how they are used. These speakers represent debates some in the community (but, clearly, not all) are willing to have. In some ways, these extra resources provide an effective balancing tool against entrenched beliefs at Williams.
I can't speak for all conservatives on campus because that broad a label ignores the reality of individual experience, but I would say the idea that conservatives want some sort of "special attention or treatment" is disingenuous. Unless of course, special treatment means fair treatment. I would gladly accept that privilege.

Snow on the ground AND an upcoming trip to Calgary can only mean one thing…
It's time for spikes! This is my first pair of spiked trail shoes, and am I excited. Now if you didn't think I was a girlie girl, you should see how happy a new pair of shoes makes me. #sotypical
I also learned that if there is even a remote theoretical possibility of hitting myself in the face while performing a lift, I will invariably and reliably do so. #pushpressfail #ouch
I have not yet figured out how to hit myself in the face, while doing a deadlift, but I have no doubt that I will. Once I do, you will be the first to know.
P.S. Yes, I do realize that I probably lose readers with every hashtag I use (Krista, are you still there?), but I can't help myself.
In other news, another made-up sort of holiday is upon us. I assert that visiting a mall between December 1st and January 1st should be illegal. Either that, or it should earn a new status of an extreme sport.

We'd better sort ourselves out sharpish because with the form Clownty are currently in, they're more than likely going to end their winless hoodoo against us.
Only team to beat us so far is Accrington who lost at home to Grimsby tonight.
Does that suddenly mean Grimsby are now better than us?
Wycombe must have been seriously off it to concede 4 against County with their strike force in all honesty. Given County have played and beaten Chesterfield, Port Vale and Morecambe too, their position at the moment is probably deceiving because all three of those are cral so far.....although tonight's result against Swindon was a good one.

To explore the wide range of experiences and opinions within the digital business world, we're running a series of interviews, 'A Few Minutes With…'.
Today, we're speaking with Lookers Volvo Colchester's Franchise Manager, Miles Alvis, based in Colchester.
Could you describe your company's activity on social networks?
We are quite active with twitter and LinkedIn, we know we have a much bigger audience opportunity via social media though, Kronika is our digital magazine and it has found an audience that is not historically from our database, we are reaching far more people this way.
Are there elements of your business now that would not have been possible without social media?
Yes, the speed in which we can get a positive message into the market place would not have been possible 8-10 years ago, I think we interact with an audience today that is knowledgeable about our product and business, we have to deliver meaningful information that is superior to historical media channels.
How has your relationship with your customers/clients changed with the dawn of social media?
It's instant now, I can respond to an enquiry or follow up a customer query within seconds, customers like the reassurance that we are able to converse with them outside of normal business hours, I'm not saying we are open 24/7 yet but we are heading that way, you can live chat with one of our trained representatives any time of the day, we respond instantly to any sales, service or parts enquiry through this channel now.
Which social media campaigns or accounts have really caught your eye recently?
I really like viral advertising via the internet, I think brands can express themselves and appeal to a wider audience, YouTube is great for demonstrating what cars are capable of, people love to see a smoking tyre or a car on the limit, you can't do that on TV anymore.
What have you found to be the most positive and negative aspects of using social media for your business?
We are open for business all of the and we are open for business all of the time!
What advice would you give to businesses looking to improve their social media activity?
Put yourself out there, be brave, embrace it, if you're not confident then find yourself a partner that is, our friends at GoldSand Digital live and breathe social media, they produce and edit Kronika and make it visible to audiences I could never reach, ignore it and your business will be left behind.

University of Cantabria,
Keywords: microextraction, facilitated transport, two-phase liquid-liquid microfluidic systems, CFD modeling, hexavalent chromium separation
Summary:In recent years, there has been a proliferation of applications of microfluidic devices in multiple fields of knowledge, including medicine, biology and chemistry due to the several advantages that this technology offers, i.e. high surface area to volume ratio, enhanced mass and heat transfer rates, etc. Microfluidics is emerging state-of-the-art technology that handles small volumes of liquids, being able to integrate different fluid and solid phases and supports. In this context, microprocesses modeling may contribute to take a step forward from theoretical training to achieve an application-oriented expertise. This work reports the mathematical modeling of microextraction processes based on the contact of two immiscible phases in Y-Y shaped microchannels. A microdevice of 2 mm long and 150 µm width has been used for the extraction of hexavalent chromium species from an aqueous to an organic phase composed of Shellsol D-70 as solvent and Alamine 336 as the selective extractant agent. Despite conventional solvent extraction has been thoroughly reviewed, this work studies the hydrodynamics, mass transfer and chemical reactions in multiphase microsystems providing valuable knowledge for the optimal design of microseparation processes based on facilitated transport. The detailed model herein presented takes into account the pH speciation dependence in the aqueous phase, mass transfer phenomena and the reaction mechanisms of the species present in the solution. Rheological fluids properties have been also considered to describe the system hydrodynamics as well as the interface formation (Fig 1 a)). For each species present in both phases, the model implements mass and momentum conservation equations and the equilibrium model approach describes the mass transfer across the interface between chromium species in both phases. The two phases in contact are separated by an interface and the unidirectional species mass transfer that only occurs from the aqueous to the organic phase, has been included in the Eulerian model. The model, which was solved with ANSYS FLUENT CFD software, combines the description of the fluids flow and accurately quantifies the species concentration in both phases as well as the extraction performance. The predictive model calculations have been compared to the results obtained in a set of experimental runs (Fig. 1 b)) depicting a satisfactory fitting with an error lower than 10% that evidences the accuracy of the model making it an ideal tool for the design of two-phase microextraction systems.

Cherry Heering is a popular cherry-flavored liqueur that is vital for many classic and modern cocktails such as the Singapore Sling and Blood and Sand. This royal red liqueur is one of the best tasting cherry spirits on the market and is often used in drink recipes that call for cherry brandy.
What Is Cherry Heering?
Cherry Heering was created by Peter Heering in 1818. Founded in Denmark, this liqueur quickly gained global recognition and was noted as a favorite among many of the world's royal courts of that century.
Cherry Heering is unique among the modern offerings of cherry liqueurs. It is naturally flavored, made by lightly crushing Danish cherries and soaking those with a spice blend in neutral grain spirits. The mixture ages naturally in casks for five years during which sugar is added.
Why Is Cherry Heering Better?
If you have tasted any number of cherry-flavored distilled spirits you will know that they often take on a medicinal aspect. The liqueurs, brandies, even the infused vodkas and whiskeys, end up tasting more like cough syrup than cherries. Cherry is a tricky flavor when it comes to alcohol and unless it is handled properly, the results can be (and often are) disastrous.
Many of these failures come from artificial ingredients. It is in natural cherry spirits like Cherry Heering and quality maraschino liqueurs where the tiny fruits are handled properly that a good cherry liquor is produced.
If you can enjoy it on its own without a flashback to your mother stuffing cough medicine down your throat as a kid, then you have a good cherry liqueur.
Cherry Heering vs Maraschino and Kirsch
Cherry Heering is among the preferred cherry liqueurs for mixing cocktails and it is best to know the difference between it and the other two popular choices, maraschino and kirsch.
- Cherry Heering is sweeter than the other two and has a deeper red color. It also has a very distinct cherry taste.
- Kirsch (or kirsschwasser - German for "cherry water") is a common cherry brandy that is clear in color and has a bitter cherry aspect that is primarily due to the inclusion of pits in production. It is has a drier profile than that of the other two.
- Maraschino is also clear and has a bitter aspect though this is described as more of an almond flavor. There are more herbal notes in maraschino and the cherry flavor is very light. It is sweeter than kirsch, but not as sweet as Cherry Heering.
Can the three liqueurs be interchanged? The answer to this really depends on the cocktail you are mixing up. Many recipes will specifically call for one of the three if that liqueur's flavor profile is crucial to finding balance in the drink.
In those cocktail recipes that call for cherry brandy, choose either kirsch or Cherry Heering and note the sweetness of the rest of the drink to determine whether a drier or sweeter liqueur should be used.
For those drinks that call for cherry liqueur, the same thought process should be applied. Ask yourself, "What can the cherry liqueur bring to this drink and how do I want it to play against the other ingredients?"

A jury in Cook County convicted a suburban Chicago man of robbing and murdering an elderly Bridgeport woman in order to take her set of wedding rings to propose to his girlfriend.
On November 5, the jury convicted Raymond Harris, 40, of killing 73-year-old Virginia Perillo in the garage of her Chicago Bridgeport neighborhood home in October of 2011.
During the trial, it was revealed that one of the reasons for his robbery was to steal the woman's wedding rings. It was reported that Harris took the rings to his girlfriend and asked her to marry him.
"We think it's a little demented, creepy," Virginia Perillo's eldest son John said. "Mr. Harris has no morals… All he cares about is himself."
John Perillo said the verdict brought "legal closure," but he also said, "there's never really closure to the whole event. I mean, we're still feeling the effects of what happened to our mom. There will always remain a gap in our life, and her life was taken away way too soon."
Another of the victim's sons, Mark Perillo said that the guilty verdict was "an early birthday present," as he is to turn 39 on Friday.
The crime was one of opportunity, as Harris just happened to be in the area when he saw the elderly woman arriving home after grocery shopping.
"He was there, and he was on her," Assistant State's Attorney Amy Watroba said during her closing arguments. "He pummeled her face. He beat her. He pounded her… until she was laying lifeless on the ground."
After he murdered the woman, Harris went to a party and asked friends which of the stolen rings he should use to propose. Several days later, he did propose. It was reported his girlfriend said, "yes," and weeks later, police discovered Harris's girlfriend wearing the stolen rings.
This isn't the first violent crime Harris committed. In 1997, the now convicted murderer broke into another woman's home and raped her. Worse, he then tied her up and lit her on fire. The woman suffered third-degree burns and suffered in a Chicago burn unit for some six weeks.
Harris was sentenced to 30 years in prison for that crime but served less than 15. This latest crime could earn him a life sentence.

Lake Nosbonsing is a scenic and popular fishing spot that is located near Lake Nipissing. It's situated south of North Bay in Ontario, and it is the result of the glacial outflow from the Great Lakes. Lake Nosbonsing is an angler's paradise, and it offers so many fishing opportunities without the challenges of the big water. Here you will find Morgan Cottage, a lovely two bedroom cottage set among the pine trees, a perfect spot for an adventurous family vacation.
The open living space provides a warm and inviting change of pace from all the outdoors activities you will be enjoying. There is a fully equipped galley kitchen and the dining area seats four. The lovely deck faces the lake, and you can relax here in the morning with coffee or in the evening after dinner.
Two bedrooms are located off the living room. The first has a set of single bunk beds, and the second bedroom has a double bed. Between the two bedrooms there is a four-piece bathroom. Closer to the waterfront there is a bunkie to sleep an extra two people.
The yard is large and sloping to the waterfront with several places for setting up lawn chairs and relaxing while enjoying the view of the lake. The lake is quiet and there are not a lot of motorboats constantly whizzing by, giving a sense of peacefulness. There is approximately 200 feet of shoreline. The water at the end of the 20' dock is about four feet deep The dock has sun nearly all day. There is a paddleboat, canoe and kayak for you to explore the lake or fish. If you are bringing your own motor boat, there is a boat house where you can keep it when not in use.

I'm overdue as predicted! Baby is taking her sweet time making her way into this world. She hasn't even fully dropped (which she might not do prior to labor) and I'm only dilated at a 1 (according to my 39 week appointment) with my cervix still being pretty thick. I could just tell from the beginning this baby was going to be late. I was hoping I was wrong, as I did also think she was a boy, but unfortunately I was correct. Babies come in their own sweet time and yes I knew pregnancy was at least 40 weeks prior to becoming pregnant…but the last few weeks really are an endless torture. Alas, she's Brian and I's child, and we are both the lords of being stubborn. I want to hold her now please. My stomach does not want to hold her anymore, it's begging for mercy. My midwives don't induce labor unless requested or absolutely necessary (which I like) so I'm in it for as long as baby and I are still safe.
How far along? 39 & 40 Weeks.
Trimester? 3rd!!! Wooo final phase. I'm actually 40 weeks and 2 days today, so no days left, but she's still cooking anyway!
Total weight gain/loss: So far I've gained 34 lbs. Belly measured 44 inches at the beginning of this week.
Baby size: Watermelon, 20.16 inches from head to toe, 7.5 – 7.72 lbs.
Maternity clothes? The maternity leggings from Motherhood and Target are heavenly. I just bought a few Pink Blush tops to wear during my transition back to a human body, I don't need to be wearing tight tanks with a floppy shrinking uterus belly. They're so cute. I love Pink Blush.
Stretch marks? Unfortunately genetics have won, I have developed stretchies and they have grown. I was really hoping to escape this fate and religiously greased myself up (and continue to grease) at least 4 times a day with many products, but alas, as I had previously read creams are nonsense. Genetics determine all. There's no secret preventative tool, if you escape stretchie hell, you're just genetically blessed (and I hate you lol).
Sleep: Sleep is the worst. There's a giant baby in my belly and I'm supposed to sleep on my left side. When I go from sitting to laying on my left side, I feel her slide around and it feels really gross and uncomfortable. It's hard to ever be comfortable, but I continue sleeping inclined surrounded by enormous pillows. I can't wait to lie flat on my back and stomach again.
Best moment this week: Spending time with Brian, even when we don't do anything. I like just absorbing his essence and enjoying the last few days of our life just revolving around us (we will still always make us priority number 1, babies are an amazing gift but we are each other's forever).
Have you told family and friends: Yes! We announced on Christmas with a surprise reveal which was really fun.
Movement: Baby is very active for how large she has to be at this point. My midwife even commented on her activity at my 39 week appointment.
Food cravings: No cravings really. Food is just food. I haven't liked it much since being pregnant.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Just smells as usual, mostly Cashew's fish whispers and the smell of human breath which I swear I can smell from a mile away.
Have you started to show yet: Hahahahahahaha. My belly is 44 inches around. That's insanely huge.
Leakage: Yep pretty much every day a couple times, but only a little.
Gender prediction: We are having a lady, confirmed via anatomy scan at 18 weeks. We also did a Sneak Peek blood test at 10 weeks that said girl.
Labor Signs: Not really, just Braxton Hicks all the time. Still have my plug and all that good stuff. It's really annoying at this point. Come out baby!
Belly Button in or out? I have a full flatty. My inny wasn't super deep so it's as "out" as it's going to get.
Wedding rings on or off? Off, at the end of 34 weeks swelling started. It's mild but enough that when combined with the humidity here, I just don't like the feel of my ring anymore. I got an Amazon silicone ring, I don't like wearing nothing.
Happy or Moody most of the time: I'm so happy but I do have weepy spells every few days.
Weekly Wisdom: Whatever happens just roll with it. You can't control what goes on in your womb-sack so just be happy, calm, and hope for the best! If you go over your due date like I have, I'm sorry. It's the worst.
Milestones: Passing baby's due date. I knew we would! My guess is she'll come the 16th, but it could be later (please don't be later). My midwife told me women tend to go 10 days over with their first baby. I would prefer not to do that.
