In Britain, awnings and window shutters are often categorized under blinds, which are so named because they limit observation and thus blind the observer to the view. The main types are slat blinds which can be opened in two ways, and solid blinds, which can only be raised or lowered, and are sometimes called shades.
Many window blinds are made with slats of fabric, metal, plastic, or wood that are adjusted by being rotated from an open position (in which the slats do not overlap) to a closed position (in which they do). Metal window blinds are often used outside of a home or business to protect against theft, temperature, onlookers, glare, bad weather, or fire (in fire-prone areas); often, these blinds are machine-operated, rather than hand-operated.
Window blinds can be manually drawn using a cord, or automated through motorization. Controls for motorized blinds can be from a wall switch or keypad, remote control, or computer, eliminating the need for cords and allowing control of otherwise inaccessible windows. A number of modern homes are integrating blind control with central C-Bus solutions. This control provides ease-of-use and is effective for controlling blind operation to reduce heat loss during winter or minimize heat from the sun during summer.

25 Kan. App. 2d 1
No. 77,5411
STATE OF KANSAS, Appellee, v. RICHARD J. SOLER, JR., Appellant.
1. K.S.A. 21-4716(b)(2) contains a nonexclusive list of aggravating factors to be used in determining whether substantial and compelling reasons exist for a departure sentence. Factors not specifically listed in the statute may be considered by the sentencing court when considering whether to grant a departure.
2. Acts connected with the underlying crime of conviction which could also be an element of a different offense may constitute aggravating circumstances to support a departure sentence. A district court is free to consider the real facts in determining whether to depart even if those facts would also support elements of an uncharged or dismissed offense. However, if the conviction is pursuant to a plea agreement as to the crime of conviction, a departure cannot be based on facts that would, if proven, establish a higher offense subclassification for that crime.
Appeal from Douglas District Court; JACK A. MURPHY, judge. Opinion filed January 16, 1998. Sentence vacated and case remanded for resentencing.
Thomas B. Frost, of Topeka, for appellant.
David P. Zabel, assistant district attorney, Christine K. Tonkovich, district attorney, and Carla J. Stovall, attorney general, for appellee.
Before BRAZIL, C.J., GERNON and KNUDSON, JJ.
KNUDSON, J.: This sentencing appeal is brought by Richard J. Soler, Jr., who contends the district court erred in its findings of a substantial and compelling reason to impose a durational departure sentence and in its consideration of a victim impact statement.
Soler was originally charged with aggravated assault, criminal discharge of a firearm at an occupied dwelling, and criminal possession of a firearm after a conviction of a felony within 10 years. Under a plea bargain, Soler pled guilty to an amended charge of criminal discharge of a firearm at an unoccupied dwelling, and the remaining charges were dismissed. The parties agreed Soler's presumptive sentence would be within grid block 8-D (17-16-15 months) but with presumed imprisonment because a firearm was used to commit the offense. See K.S.A. 21-4219(a); K.S.A. 21-4704(h). Soler agreed not to request an optional nonprison sentence.
The district court, on its own motion, gave notice of an intent to impose a durational departure, stating as an aggravating circumstance that "[t]he possibility for injury or loss of life attributed to the offense was significantly greater than typical for this offense because people were present and living in the dwelling." Over objection by Soler, the district court imposed a durational sentence of 24 months' imprisonment.
In finding substantial and compelling reasons to impose the durational sentence, the district court stated:
"After considering the matter, the Court finds that there [are] grounds for a durational
It's my belief and my intention here that the departure is not to be based on whether or not Mr.
Soler could
have been convicted of a greater crime such as the shooting at an occupied vehicle
[sic], but it's based on
the fact that his actions in this case resulted in conditions not normally present in this type of
offense, that
is shooting into a building where there were in fact people and that injuries could have occurred.
"There are cases that indicate the Court cannot use an element that is in the crime itself as an element for departure. For example, if Mr. Soler [pled] guilty to shooting into an occupied dwelling, the Court could not use the factor that the building was occupied as a factor for departure. But I believe here, where he has [pled] guilty -- [pled] no contest and was found guilty to a charge of shooting into an unoccupied dwelling, the fact that there were people in that dwelling is not an element of that charge and can be used as a basis for departure. In considering this, the Court has reviewed the impact statement of Barbara Harris, one of the people in the house at the time.
[Objection omitted.]
". . . That statement says that, 'My son was sleeping in his bed and the bullet went into the wall above his bed and one went through his closet. Life could have been lost and now we could be homeless.' Based on the impact statement and based on the comments the Court has just made, I am going to find that durational departure is permissible in this case."
On appeal, Soler argues that the district court improperly imposed a departure sentence based on an element of the greater offense of discharge of a firearm at an occupied dwelling, the initial charge that was reduced under the plea agreement. He contends that it is not proper under K.S.A. 21-4716 and K.S.A. 21-4719 to use an element of the greater offense as a substantial and compelling reason to impose a departure.
Whether the district court's reason for imposing a departure sentence is substantial and compelling is a question of law, and our scope of review is unlimited. State v. Keniston, 21 Kan. App. 2d 818, 820, 908 P.2d 656 (1995).
There are several recent cases that have decided somewhat analogous issues and are helpful in resolving this important issue.
In State v. Zuck, 21 Kan. App. 2d 597, 598-99, 904 P.2d 1005, rev. denied 258 Kan. 863 (1995), the defendant pled guilty to attempted rape of his 8-year-old stepdaughter. The evidence indicated that he had been molesting the child over a lengthy period of time. Prior to sentencing, the State filed a motion for an upward departure that was ultimately granted by the district court.
The district court based its departure in part upon Zuck's "continuing pattern of conduct." 21 Kan. App. 2d at 600. On appeal, Zuck cited case law from the state of Washington in support of his argument that the district court had erred. This court noted that "under Washington statutes, uncharged criminal conduct cannot be used to impose an exceptional sentence. [State v. Tunell, 51 Wash. App. 274, 279, 753 P.2d 543 (1988)]. Kansas has no such comparable statute which restricts uncharged criminal conduct from being an upward departure factor." 21 Kan. App. 2d at 605. The court then concluded:
|"Because there is no indication that our legislature considered restricting the use of a defendant's prior uncharged criminal conduct in establishing the presumptive sentence, the sentencing court here had the discretion to consider such conduct as a departure factor. Importantly, one of the purposes of the guidelines is to ensure public safety. Using a history of unpunished sexual exploitation as a factor to justify a departure is consistent with the purposes of the guidelines." 21 Kan. App. 2d at 606.
Shortly after Zuck was decided, another panel of this court decided State v. Keniston. Keniston was originally charged with aggravated battery and the brutal rape of an 80-year-old woman. 21 Kan. App. 2d at 819. The aggravated battery charge was based, in part, on the fact that the victim suffered a broken hip when Keniston threw her to the ground; that charge was subsequently dismissed in exchange for Keniston's plea of guilty to the rape charge. At sentencing, the district court departed from the presumptive sentence, finding that Keniston's actions manifested excessive brutality to the victim in a manner not normally present in the crime of conviction. 21 Kan. App. 2d at 820-21.
On appeal, Keniston argued that the sentencing court could not base the upward departure on excessive brutality because those actions were encompassed by the aggravated battery charge, which had been dismissed pursuant to the plea agreement. 21 Kan. App. 2d at 822. This court disagreed and held:
|"Here, this record shows that the facts supporting the departure sentence, while possibly elements of a separate crime, were not the crimes dismissed by the prosecution. While the physical injury suffered by the victim is certainly an element that could support a charge of aggravated battery, the simple fact is that the court did not depart because defendant committed a battery, but because of the brutality of the rape, which included the considerable physical injury to the victim. There is a difference between using dismissed or uncharged crimes as a reason to depart and using acts connected with the instant offense which could be an element of a different offense. The former might be objectionable for policy reasons to prevent the imposition of a sentence more appropriate for a more serious crime when the State has only been required to prove a lesser offense. However, the latter does not violate any of the purposes of the sentencing guidelines." (Emphasis added.) 21 Kan. App. 2d at 822.
After Keniston, a panel of this court decided State v. Hawes, 22 Kan. App. 2d 837, 923 P.2d 1064 (1996). Hawes pled guilty to possession of 1/4 gram of methamphetamine and possession of 1/2 of a marijuana cigarette. The State requested an upward durational departure based, in part, on statements made by Hawes that he had purchased "eight balls" of methamphetamine in the past from several people in Oklahoma. 22 Kan. App. 2d at 838. Based on these statements, the State argued and the court found that Hawes' "involvement with methamphetamine was much more than is typically associated with mere users of the drug." 22 Kan. App. 2d at 841.
On appeal, Hawes argued that the district court erred in considering his uncharged criminal conduct in granting an upward departure. We agreed, stating:
"Departure cannot be based on prior uncharged activity; it violates the
presumption of innocence.
Even if a person admits to prior criminal activity, that admission is not equivalent to a guilty plea
or a
conviction. See State v. Bolton, 68 Wash. App. 211, 218-19, 842 P.2d 989 (1992);
see also State v.
Keniston, 21 Kan. App. 2d 818, 822, 908 P.2d 656 (1995) (sentencing court may use as
reason to depart
acts connected with the instant offense which could be an element of different offense).
. . . .
"[H]ere, defendant's admission to purchasing 'eight balls' is uncharged conduct factually unrelated and extenuated from the crime for which he was charged. Defendant's atypical involvement with the drug is not a substantial and competent reason for departure because it is a finding unsupported by substantial competent evidence connected to the current crime of conviction." (Emphasis added.) 22 Kan. App. 2d at 841-42.
K.S.A. 21-4716(b)(2) contains a nonexclusive list of aggravating factors to be used in determining whether substantial and compelling reasons exist for a departure sentence. Factors not specifically listed in the statute may be considered by the sentencing court when considering whether to grant a departure. State v. Richardson, 20 Kan. App. 2d 932, 941, 901 P.2d 1 (1995). Nevertheless, a plain reading of the statute compels the conclusion that an aggravating circumstance must be based upon conduct of an offender that is contemporaneous with and rationally related to the underlying crime of conviction.
The holding in Zuck is entirely consistent with the above statutory interpretation. In Zuck, the "continuing pattern of conduct," albeit uncharged criminal conduct, was contemporaneous with and rationally related to the defendant's crime of conviction. 21 Kan. App. 2d at 600.
In Keniston, the conduct supporting an aggravating circumstance clearly arose out of the factual circumstances underlying the defendant's crime of conviction. The issue was whether the district court relied upon the dismissed charge of aggravated battery as a substantial and compelling reason to impose a departure sentence. The Keniston court decided that was not what the trial court had done; instead, it had considered "acts connected with the instant offense which could be an element of a different offense." 21 Kan. App. 2d at 822. In dicta, the court suggests use of a dismissed or uncharged crime may be problematical.
While the above decisions are helpful, the holdings do not directly answer the question now before us. Soler entered a dispositive plea to criminal discharge of a firearm at a dwelling, contrary to K.S.A. 21-4219. If the dwelling is unoccupied, the crime is a severity level 8 person felony; if occupied, a severity level 7 person felony; and if occupied and bodily harm occurs, a severity level 5 person felony. The question is: May the district court base a departure sentence on facts that establish a higher offense subclassification for the crime to which Soler entered a dispositive plea pursuant to plea negotiations?
The most persuasive legislative history of K.S.A. 21-4716 is found in the Recommendations of the Kansas Sentencing Commission submitted to the legislature on January 15, 1991. In its report the commission gave this telling explanation of proposed aggravating factors that would support a departure sentence:
"In the guidelines system, the seriousness of criminal conduct is determined by the crime
conviction. Consequently, a departure sentence is not appropriate for elements of alleged
behavior not within the definition of the offense of conviction. If the conviction is pursuant to a
agreement as to the crime of conviction, a departure cannot be based on facts that would, if
establish a higher offense subclassification for the crime or result in a more serious crime of
"For example, if an offender is convicted of robbery, the sentence should not be aggravated beyond the upper limit of the presumptive sentence range because the offender was actually armed with a dangerous weapon at the time of the robbery. This is not an aspect of the crime of conviction since it is clearly an element of aggravated robbery and not robbery. Since this aspect of the crime was not captured in the conviction, it should not later be used to impose an aggravated sentence for the conviction of the lesser offense." Chapter 9, p. 83.
We find the commission's reasoning to be persuasive as to the narrow issue before us. We hold that "[i]f the conviction is pursuant to a plea agreement as to the crime of conviction, a departure cannot be based on facts that would, if proven, establish a higher offense subclassification for the crime." Chapter 9, p. 83.
In the case before us, Soler was charged with the discharge of a firearm at an occupied dwelling. Pursuant to a plea bargain, he was only convicted of discharge of a firearm at an unoccupied dwelling, a lower offense subclassification. See K.S.A. 21-4219. Because the district judge based the upward departure on an element of the greater offense that had been reduced under the plea agreement, we conclude Soler's sentence must be vacated and returned to the district court for resentencing.
Our decision is a narrow refinement of the holding in Keniston. A district court is free to consider the real facts in determining whether to depart even if those facts would also support elements of an uncharged or dismissed offense; however, the district court cannot use real facts that establish elements of a greater degree of the same crime that was the subject of a plea agreement. A contrary result would be tantamount to indirectly ratcheting up the crime of conviction--a result clearly not intended by the legislature and inconsistent with public policy.
Our decision renders moot Soler's contention that the district court should not have given consideration to the victim impact statement at the departure hearing.
Sentence vacated and case remanded for resentencing.

To date, five separate tolling agencies in California have distributed more than 2.5 million FasTrak transponders. It's important to get a transponder from the agency that operates the road, lane or bridge you will use most. Each tolling agency has its own rules and minimum requirements.

FasTrak ® is, by far, the easiest and preferred way to pay tolls on every tolled bridge, lane and road in California -- and, in some cases, it's the only way to pay. But, sometimes, qualifying carpools and other select vehicles are eligible to use the tolled bridges, lanes and roads for free or at a discounted rate. It's important to get a transponder from the agency that operates the bridge, lane or road that you'll use most, because each tolling agency has its own rules and minimum requirements.
While The Toll Roads now only issue switchable transponders, our customers with standard transponders can still use them on our roads without worry. Standard FasTrak transponders do not have a small black switch that can be moved to indicate the number of occupants in the vehicle. Switchable FasTrak transponders (sometimes called FasTrak Flex®) do have a small black switch that can be moved to indicate the number of occupants in the vehicle. It is the driver's responsibility to indicate the number of occupants in the vehicle by moving the switch to the appropriate setting (1, 2, 3+). This should be done prior to starting each trip. Toll-free travel for qualifying carpools and other eligible vehicles is often only available to drivers who have a switchable FasTrak transponder; drivers with standard FasTrak transponders pay the full toll regardless of the number of occupants in the vehicle.

The phrase "end of an era" is often heard, but it's a rare thing to realize through the fog of day-to-day that an era really is gasping its last. The fog clears with time.
In East Hampton 20 years ago, it was nearly impossible not to see and hear that a significant part of our local heritage was going by the board — not without a fight, and not without great pain.
In October 1992, Tom Lester, a lifelong bayman and the husband of Town Councilwoman Cathy Lester, died of a heart attack. A week later, his daughter Della Lester received an anonymous letter.
It read: "Your father was punished for killing bass. Good riddance! He was a pig to slaughter. Billy Joel should join him in hell."
She received more hate mail in the weeks that followed. The letters were postmarked Nassau County and bore commemorative sportfishing stamps.
Hostility between baymen and sportfishermen had been building up for close to 10 years at that point, beginning in 1985, when striped bass were banned from the marketplace after bass spawned in the Hudson River were found to contain dangerous levels of polychlorinated biphenyls. Stripers were declared safe to eat again in 1990, but that same year the haul seine, a semi-circle of net paid off the transom of a dory launched from the ocean beaches, was banned.
To baymen, the old haul seine, which in early days was hauled back to shore by horses, was the most efficient method of catching striped bass, the "money fish." But to the ever-growing number of sportfishermen, it had become the engine of anti-conservation, although "conservation" by then was really a code word for getting a larger slice of the state's striped bass quota.
The discord between sporties and commercial fishermen. Statistics showed that sportfishermen had landed a half-million pounds of legal-size bass (over 36 inches) the year before, not including another quarter-million pounds that died after being caught and released. By contrast, commercial netters and market hook-and-line fishermen actually harvested less than their 128,000-pound quota that same year, 1989.
In 1992, the year Tom Lester died, the New York Sportfishing Federation was pushing hard for the state to make striped bass a gamefish only, with the support of Owen Johnson, a state senator from Babylon. In the Town of East Hampton, the fight over striped bass became a civil war that pitted some of Montauk's charter fishing fleet against their baymen neighbors. It was an angry time.
Against this backdrop, the East Hampton Town Baymen's Association organized a civil disobedience protest, with the enthusiastic support of the town supervisor, Tony Bullock, Councilwoman Lester, East Hampton Village Administrator Larry Cantwell, and State Assemblyman John Behan of Montauk. Billy Joel, whose 1989 hit "Downeaster Alexa" told the story of a bayman regulated out of his inshore bass fishery, raised the profile of the protest.
"This stinks out loud. This situation is a product of rank politics and corruption," Supervisor Bullock said of the '92 bass laws that continued to ban the haul seine while giving the recreational fishery the lion's share of the annual bass quota.
On July 28, 1992, supporters and reporters gathered at Indian Wells Beach in Amagansett to watch Dan King launch his red, white, and blue flag dory into the surf and return with a haul seine containing a number of striped bass. As the protesters, including the participating officials and Mr. Joel, picked bass from the net, state police arrested them.
The following day, Joe Pintauro's play "Men's Lives" opened at the Bay Street Theatre in Sag Harbor. It was the theater's very first production and a smash hit. The play was a loose adaptation of Peter Matthiessen's book of the same name, a history of East Hampton fishing families and their fight to survive. The title was plucked from Sir Walter Scott's "The Antiquary": "It's no fish ye're buyin', it's men's lives." On opening night, truer words were never spoken, and tears could not be contained.
Mr. Pintauro, whose play is being revived at Bay Street starting on Tuesday night, coinciding with the 20th anniversary of the protest, said yesterday that while the real drama and angst of 1992 is gone, the loss of self the baymen felt at the time is being experienced by many today.
"The present time has entered into the play. The economy, what's happening to people losing their jobs, their vocation, what they have to offer to the rest of the world, what gave them their sense of being, who they were. Some economic fumble has left many — carpenters, policemen, people facing global change — in an empty state."
The ban on haulseining continues to this day. While striped bass are still the money fish, they are taken nowadays in traps, gillnets, or by hook-and-line. The number of full-time baymen remaining in East Hampton Town has shrunk dramatically.

Pink+Dolphin Celebrates Black Pyramid Collaboration with Chris Brown
Chris Brown has been known for having a passion for fashion.
Pink+Dolphin clothing line announced their Black Pyramid collaboration with the "Turn Up The Music" singer, celebrating at L.A.'s Fairfax Blvd Wednesday night (Nov. 8). P+D founders Neima Khalifa and Cena Barhagi (photographed above) interviewed Brown, who met with fans, signed autographs and showed off the limited edition shirts.
The platinum-blonde artist explained that it felt right to work with Pink+Dolphin because he respected what they were doing, loved the design aesthetic and liked the fact that they are all young, fashionable guys making things happen. He noted that his designs were inspired by his art and that no one of this generation had mastered the art of making a perfect pyramid, hence the name, Black Pyramid.

This is the text of a proclamation by Massachusetts Governor James Bowdoin regarding the assembly of Regulators on August 29, 1786 to prevent the sitting of the court at Northampton. It calls for all people of the Commonwealth to aid in preventing and suppressing such acts and for the punishment of the men who participated. William Butler began publication of the Hampshire Gazette on September 6, 1786, in Northampton, Massachusetts. The mission of the newspaper was to inform the public about the issues pertaining to the ongoing conflicts. Butler was decidedly on the government side of the issues.

The winners try not to gloat and the losers try to put up a brave front. But you don't need to hear their post-election speeches to know whether these candidates were celebrating or conceding on election night. It's written all over their faces.
Here is a look at AP photos of some of the most expressive candidates:

Iowa Code section 68A.201(5) requires a committee or organization not organized as a committee in Iowa to disclose each contribution to the Board.
If a committee or organization is not registered and filing campaign disclosure reports with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) or another state's disclosure agency, the committee or organization must register and file disclosure reports with the Board as a political committee (PAC) or as a permanent organization making a one-time contribution.
If a committee or organization is registered with the FEC or another state's disclosure agency, the committee or organization may either register as an Iowa PAC and file disclosure reports or for each contribution in excess of $50 file a verified statement of registration (VSR) with the Board.
1. A VSR is required to be filed for each contribution of $50 or more to an Iowa committee. Click here to register or file.
2. VSR's are required to be received in the Board's office on or before the 15th day after the date of the contribution (date of contribution is the date of the contribution check). Reports are required to be filed electronically by mandate.
3. A VSR that is late-filed is subject to a monetary penalty. Additional criminal and civil sanctions may also be imposed.
4. The VSR requires an Iowa Resident Agent. This is an Iowa resident who agrees to be responsible for any correspondence regarding the contribution.
5. There is no need to send the Board copies of the FEC report that shows the contribution.
6. The general operating funds of corporations, financial institutions, and insurance companies may not be used for contributions to an Iowa candidate. Such funds may be used for contributions to a ballot issue committee.
7. Iowa has no contribution limits (the amount of money that may be received from any one source).
8. The fair market value purchase of an item from an Iowa committee does NOT require the filing of a VSR.

GA Food Bank Day at the Capitol
Yesterday was a great (and busy!) day for food banks in Georgia. Members from our fellow food banks across Georgia, the Georgia Food Bank Association, representatives from two of our partner agencies, Midtown Assistance Center and Georgia Avenue Food Cooperative and our champion advocates swarmed the Capitol building for Georgia Food Bank Day, and in support of HB 193, a bill that would create exemptions from state and local sales or use tax for sales of food to food banks and donations of prepared food for hunger or disaster relief. Last year alone, the exemption would have allowed food banks to distribute enough food for 800,000 additional meals to hungry Georgians! We had to chance to thank Agriculture Commissioner Gary Black for his support and learn a bit more about the Georgia Grown program. At the start of the sessions, food banks were recognized by Rep. Ron Stephens in the House chamber and our executive director, Bill Bolling, gave the devotional to the Senate.
The Georgia Food Bank Association and Attorney General Sam Olens also kicked off the start of the Legal Food Frenzy--a statewide food drive with law firms and lawyers. Last year was an incredible start to the program. Participating law firms in our service area raised $107,509.43 and collected 20,738 pounds of food! We can't wait to see what they do this year.
The big news of the day revolved around HB 193 though. While we were at the Capitol, we and our champion advocates worked the ropes to chat with our representatives and senators about HB 193. The bill was up for vote in the House yesterday and passed unanimously--177 to 0--a resounding vote of confidence in the need for the kind of work that food banks do. Thank you to everyone who called and emailed their representatives about HB 193! Now on to the Senate and, due to your support, we are in a great position already with its committee members.
We want to thank everyone who emailed or called their elected officials over the last two weeks, all those who came out to the Capitol with us yesterday and all the representatives and senators who support Georgia food banks. Interested in becoming a champion advocate? You can learn more today. Yesterday is proof that advocates can make a difference!

It's Saturday night and you need something to watch. Never fear, Hidden Netflix Gems is a new weekly feature designed to help you decide just what it should be, and all without having to scroll through endless pages of crap or even leave the house. Each choice will be available for streaming on Netflix Instant, and the link below will take you to its page on the site. Look for a new suggestion here every Saturday.
This week's Hidden Netflix Gem: "Oldboy" (2003)
Here in the States, it's entirely likely you haven't seen or even heard about the 2003 film "Oldboy." If that's the case, you've been missing out on what's generally considered one of the greatest films of all time. Directed by Park Chan-wook, one of South Korea's most popular and critically acclaimed filmmakers, "Oldboy" won the Grand Prix at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival, it's been certified fresh with an 81 percent rating on the Tomatometer, and with its 8.4 rating on IMDb, the film sits at 87th on the site's Top 250 movies of all-time. As a result, Spike Lee is set to direct an American remake and subsequently ruin an awesome film which deserves all the acclaim that's been heaped upon it.
When "Oldboy" begins, its main character, Oh Dae-su (played by Choi Min-sik), is more than a bit too drunk on his daughter's birthday. Dae-su is kidnapped and locked in a hotel room for 15 years, never knowing the identity nor the motives of his captors. Fed nothing but fried dumplings, a television is his only contact with the outside world. It is through his TV screen that Dae-su learns that his wife has been murdered and he has been made to look like the culprit. As he slowly loses grip on his sanity, Dae-su spends his days honing his fighting skills, waiting to be released and obsessing over the vengeance he plans to take on those who imprisoned him. Then, one day, completely without explanation, Dae-su is released. A beggar hands him a cell phone and a wallet filled with money, the phone rings, and the voice on the other end challenges him to uncover the reasons behind his imprisonment. Dae-su embarks on a quest for vengeance, finding himself caught in a web of conspiracy and violence, and perhaps more surprisingly, he finds himself in love.

Guidance Note for Data Controllers on Purpose Limitation and Retention
The following guidance has been prepared as an aid to data controllers in the practical application of Section 2(1)(c) of the Data Protection Acts 1988 & 2003 which requires data controllers to comply with the following provisions concerning personal data kept by them:
- the data shall have been obtained for one or more specified, explicit and lawful purpose(s),
- the data shall not be further processed in a manner incompatible with that purpose or those purposes,
- the data shall be adequate, relevant and not excessive in relation to the purpose or purposes for which they were collected or are further processed, and
- the data shall not be kept for longer than is necessary for that purpose or those purposes.
Specific, explicit and lawful purposes
Data Controllers who obtain personal data from a data subject may do so for one or more specific, lawful and clearly stated purposes. It is unlawful to collect information about people routinely and indiscriminately – a data controller must have a sound, clear and legitimate purpose for collecting personal data. An individual has a right to question the purpose for which you hold his/her data and you must be able to identify that purpose.
Further processing
Data controllers who obtain personal information for one or more legitimate purposes may not use that data for any other purpose except in ways which are compatible with the original purpose(s). For example, personal images captured on CCTV cameras by a data controller where the CCTV was in operation solely for security purposes may not be used by the data controller for any other purpose such as staff monitoring.
Similarly, telephone service providers hold personal information for the purpose of providing a telephone service to subscribers (and the associated functions of telephone billing, line repairs, etc). They may be obliged by law to retain traffic and location data for three years. In the event of a subscriber terminating his/her relationship with a telephone service provider, the service provider may not, for example, process the personal data of that subscriber (which the service provider may be lawfully required to retain), to target him/her in person, by post, electronically or otherwise with direct marketing material or visits by sales agents [in an effort to win-back their business]. The only exception is where, prior to the termination of the customer relationship, the customer has clearly opted in (as opposed to not having opted-out) to such contact taking place in the event of the termination of the business relationship. This guidance note updates the previous position of the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner on that matter.
In order to meet this obligation, data controllers are advised to put in place appropriate procedures and security measures to ensure that information obtained for one purpose may not be accessed and used for another purpose within their organisation. This will include audit trails, etc. to ensure that such unauthorised access, where it might take place, can be tracked and provide a basis for appropriate measures to be taken to deal with it.
Adequate, relevant and not excessive.
The personal data sought and kept by data controllers should be sufficient to enable them to achieve their specified purpose(s) and no more. Data controllers should set down specific criteria to judge what is adequate, relevant and not excessive and they should apply those criteria to each information item and the purpose(s) for which it is held. Data controllers have no basis for collecting or keeping personal data that they do not need on the off-chance that a use might be found for it at a future date.
Data controllers must be clear about the length of time for which personal data will be kept and the reasons why the information is being retained. In determining appropriate retention periods, regard must be had for any statutory obligations imposed on a data controller. If the purpose for which the information was obtained has ceased and the personal information is no longer required, the data must be deleted or disposed of in a secure manner. It may also be anonymised to remove any personal data. In order to comply with this legal requirement, data controllers are advised to assign specific responsibility and introduce procedures for ensuring that files are regularly purged and that personal data is not retained any longer than is necessary.

Since the job forums have been pretty inactive for awhile, I thought I'd start a new topic in each devoted to things you'd like or wish that Square Enix would do with each job. They can be legitimate things you'd like to see, or they could be absurd, and, while they can be, they don't have to be any serious or groundbreaking changes you think each job needs, just something you think would improve them a bit in some form. Just try to keep the topic clean and drama free (emphasis on try). Just have some fun with this and let your ideas soar.
Separate the Waltzes down a bit to make them more useful. I know this is a possibility that's already being hinted at with things like Steal/Despoil and Jumps having split recast times, and I'm not saying give all of them their own timers, but just split them based on their types. Have the Curing Waltzes on their own time, Healing Waltz on its own time, and Divine Waltzes on their own times. Keeping them on one combined recast is like forcing Cures and -na spells to be on the same recast time, and when the situation arises, you have to choose between trying to Cure yourself from taking a huge hit, or removing the super-powerful poison associated with it.

Tamia's GRAMMY nod for "Beautiful Surprise" was no surprise to songwriter Claude Kelly. While Kelly is celebrated for his work with pop stars (Ke$ha, Christina Aguilera, Whitney Houston, Backstreet Boys and others) he was sure there was magic behind the R&B notes Tamia struck on her hit single.
"It was actually the very last song we did for Beautiful Surprise," Kelly told Radio.com. The GRAMMY-winning songwriter and X Factor vocal coach explained how they enlisted producer Salaam Remy (Fugees, Nas, Amy Whinehouse).
"We're just kicking ideas around and we wanted to have a romantic song but an underlying message of what she is about," Kelly said. "Obviously, she is married to [NBA star] Grant Hill and they both have working schedules. And we said… Let's celebrate the marriage and what it's like to come off the road and surprise you. Let's do 'Beautiful Surprise.'"
Before Kelly could began cranking out the words and melody, he had to get a feel for Tamia, to speak from her perspective. For this, he went dark.
"The art of creating for someone else or imagining to be somebody, it's almost like role playing, like acting," he explained. "I go in there and I turn all the lights out. I have to be in the studio in the dark and I can almost become that person. Songs at this point have similar content. 'I love you, I miss you, I want you, let's have a good time.' But how would Tamia say I love you?"
Tamia, Kelly and Remy hunkered down in LA's Chalice studio and came out with Tamia's biggest Adult R&B hit since "Officially Missing You" charted in 2003. Kelly's mind-meld did the trick and the words flowed:
"For the first time in my life/ I just might be tongue tied/ For me to wake up with you kissing me/ Saying you've been missing me/ What a beautiful surprise"
"Once you get over yourself and your own ego," Kelly explained, "or [feeling like] I don't want to sound too girly or too silly, then you can become Tamia in her words."
As the first project released to her Plus 1 Music Group (distributed by Capitol/EMI), Beautiful Surprise represents a success on several levels for Tamia. While the album and the eponymous single garnered GRAMMY nods, the song marked a marriage between her personal experience and artistic expression.
"In about 45 minutes we had 'Beautiful Surprise,'" Kelly said. "And the last song we recorded became the single."
And the GRAMMY nomination followed, another beautiful surprise.
The 55th Annual GRAMMY Awards airs February 10th at 8:00 p.m. on CBS.

Giants' Sanchez hopes to earn more playing time
Feb. 18, 2013
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Hector Sanchez looks back on the past year fondly.
After becoming the youngest member of the San Francisco Giants' World Series roster, the 23-year-old catcher wants to show improvement.
"You have to show something better every year. Nothing's assured in baseball," Sanchez said. "What is certain is that you have to work hard every day and it's their decision. I just want to make that decision easy for them and be here every day."
As Buster Posey's backup, Sanchez got 48 starts behind the plate when the All-Star was given days off or shifted to first base. Sanchez hit .280 in 227 at-bats with three homers and 34 RBIs, catching many of Barry Zito's starts.
Sanchez also struck out 52 times — nearly a quarter of his a-bats.
"I'm taking the same approach as always, to continue to work on my defense and try to take advantage of as many opportunities I'm given," Sanchez said. "It's really important for me to keep a good attitude off the field and stay in shape. If I'm given the chance to catch Barry Zito, I'd be really proud to do that."
Giants manager Bruce Bochy said Sanchez, listed at 5-foot-11 and 225 pounds, could be in better shape as spring training enters its second week.
"To be honest, he's got some work to do on the conditioning side," the manager said.
Bochy said Sanchez has the potential to gain more playing time.
"If we have a matchup that we think might be a little stronger with Hector catching, being a switch-hitter, and Buster going to first, sure. If Hector's playing well and swinging the bat well, he could force the issue," Bochy said. "He's a good RBI guy and he's a good hitter from both sides."
And Sanchez gained the confidence of the pitchers on the Giants staff.
"He seemed ahead of his years," Zito said. "A lot of us were impressed with how he called a game."
Sanchez was 0 for 4 with three strikeouts in the World Series against Detroit and 1 for 11 with no RBIs in the playoffs. No matter. The Giants won their second title in three seasons.
"It was a huge accomplishment just to spend my whole first season with the team, and we were a complete team," he said. "If I never manage to do anything else, I can say I got a championship."
Notes: Hitting coach Hensley Meulens had his Netherlands coaching staff for the World Baseball Classic at Giants camp Sunday and introduced them to players on rosters from other WBC teams. Meulens is the manager for the Dutch and leaves for Taiwan on Tuesday to prepare for the first round. Assistant hitting coach Joe Lefebvre will handle many of Meulens' responsibilities until Meulens returns. ... Bochy expects his WBC players heading to Puerto Rico to leave on Feb. 27 and those in Arizona to depart on March 2 ... RHP Ramon Ramirez arrived to join the Giants for Sunday's workout after sorting out visa issues.

"Hold any 3 ports for +2"
The wording of that sentence led me to assume that holding all 6 ports would grant +4, which isn't the case. It's not life-changing, but it might be nice to see a re-phrasing (or even just adding "bonus only applies once" underneath), or an XML tweaking, if that's what is needed.
Otherwise, fun map.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Workers at Philadelphia's two largest newspapers plan to mount a bid to buy their company from feuding owners.
The Newspaper Guild would join with an unnamed partner to bid on The Philadelphia Inquirer, Philadelphia Daily News and Philly.com.
The guild has about 550 workers at the company. Their lawyers filed papers Monday seeking to intervene in a proposed auction.
They would likely compete with powerful millionaire owners who want to dissolve their partnership and force each other out. They are George Norcross, an insurance executive and Democratic political force, and Lewis Katz, the former owner of the New Jersey Nets. Both are expected to mount competing bids if a judge agrees to an auction.
The company has changed hands repeatedly in recent years, and sold for about $55 million in 2012.

TOKYO – A battery beneath the cockpit of the Boeing 787 forced to make an emergency landing in Japan was swollen from overheating, a safety official said Thursday, as India joined the U.S. and Japan in grounding the technologically advanced aircraft because of fire risk.
U.S. officials, and a Boeing engineer, are due in Japan on Friday to assist with Japan's investigation into the All Nippon Airways 787 that landed in western Japan after a cockpit message showed battery problems and a burning smell was detected in the cockpit and cabin.
The main battery in an electrical room beneath the cockpit was swollen and had leaked electrolyte, safety inspector Hideyo Kosugi said on Japanese broadcaster NHK. Investigators found burn marks around the battery, though it was not thought to have caught fire.
The 787, known as the Dreamliner, is Boeing's newest jet, and the company is counting heavily on its success. Since its launch after delays of more than three years, the plane has been plagued by a series of problems including a battery fire and fuel leaks.
GS Yuasa Corp., the maker of the lithium ion batteries used in the 787s, said it was helping with the investigation but that the cause of the problem was unclear.
"We still don't know if the problem is with the battery, the power source or the electronics system," said Yasushi Yamamoto, a spokesman the company which is based in Kyoto, Japan. "The cause of the problem is not clear," he said. Thales, which makes the battery charging system, has not commented so far.
Air India's decision Thursday to ground its fleet of six Boeing 787, under orders from Indian aviation authorities, means that some 36 of the 50 jets in use around the world are now out of action. Japan's ANA, which has 17 of the 787s and Japan Airlines, which has seven, voluntarily halted flights Wednesday after the emergency landing but aviation authorities have now made the grounding an official directive.
In Washington, the Federal Aviation Administration also required U.S. carriers to stop flying 787s until the batteries are demonstrated to be safe. United Airlines has six of the jets and is the only U.S. carrier flying the model. Aviation authorities in other countries usually follow the lead of the country where the manufacturer is based.
Yasuo Ishii, an official with the aviation safety division of Japan's transport ministry, said Japan Airlines and ANA had been directed not to fly their 787s until questions over safety of the aircraft are resolved.
The 787 relies more than any other modern airliner on electrical signals to help power nearly everything the plane does. It's also the first Boeing plane to use rechargeable lithium ion batteries for its main electrical system. The batteries charge faster and can be molded to space-saving shapes compared to other airplane batteries, allowing the use of lightweight composite materials instead of aluminum.
Worries over potential fire risks from lithium ion batteries, with their well-known flammability, predate the launch of the 787. In a May 2011 report, the FAA outlined various improvements in containing and preventing onboard fires but also noted that electrolyte leaks could make a fire more hazardous due to the high energy density and power capacity of such batteries.
The FAA had issued special precautions for installation of such batteries on board the 787s.
Boeing said it was working around the clock with investigators.
"We are confident the 787 is safe, and we stand behind its overall integrity," Jim McNerney, company chairman, president and CEO said in a statement.
Japan's transport ministry categorized Wednesday's problem as a "serious incident" that could have led to an accident.
It was unclear how long the Dreamliners would be grounded. ANA and JAL canceled some flights or switched aircraft. Other airlines with 787s in their fleets include Qatar Airways, Ethiopian Airlines, LAN Airlines and LOT Polish Airlines.
Japan's transport ministry had already started a separate inspection Monday of a 787 operated by Japan Airlines that had leaked fuel in Tokyo and Boston, where the flight originated.
A fire ignited Jan. 7 in the battery pack of an auxiliary power unit of an empty Japan Airlines 787 on the tarmac in Boston. It took firefighters 40 minutes to put out the blaze.
A computer problem, a minor fuel leak and a cracked windscreen in a cockpit were also reported on a 787 in Japan this month.
Boeing has said that various technical problems are to be expected in the early days of any aircraft model.
Much remains uncertain about the problems being experienced by the 787, said Masaharu Hirokane, analyst at Nomura Securities Co. in Tokyo.
"You need to ensure safety 100 percent, and then you also have to get people to feel that the jet is 100 percent safe," Hirokane said.

Marc Lawrence NFL Upsets December 20-22
INDY over Dallas by 3
Much of the focus in Indy is on QB Andrew Luck, and rightfully so, but the Colts defense is playing extremely well, as the MIDWEEK ALERT points out that Indy has allowed season low – or 2nd low – yards in three of their last four games since getting embarrassed by the Pats in Week 11 at home. Meanwhile, Dallas put a big one in the win column Sunday night against Philly to take control of the division, but consider this: NFC East teams are just 2-12 SU and ATS in follow-up games after battling one another this season. The Cowboys also saddle up inside this week's INCREDIBLE STAT box on page 2 as it notes the Pokes are 3-19-1 ATS as a non-division favorite from Game Thirteen out, including 1-10 SU and 0-11 ATS when playing off a win. That will certainly have us pulling back on the reins at Jerry World this week, even if DeMarco Murray returns quickly from his hand surgery (Murray would wear a special padded glove that was designed in 1995 for a similar injury suffered by Emmitt Smith). But while the Colts clinched the AFC South last week and a probable No. 3 seed, they are still anxious for more, and our NFL Quarterback League Database provides The Clincher: Colts QB Andrew Luck is 13-0 SUATS in his NFL career in games after the Colts fail to score 21 points in their previous game.
Arizona over Seattle by 3
Yikes. We can hear the groans all the way down here in South Florida. Our MIDWEEK ALERT reports the 'Legion of Doom' defense in Seattle has held eight of their last nine foes to less than 300 total yards of offense – and have held each of their last four opponents to season low – or 2nd low – total yards. Now it's the Cardinals that are stepping in front of that 100 MPH freight train, and will be doing it with a 3rd-string QB at the helm who couldn't score a single TD last Thursday night against the Rams. But hold your horses, as Arizona is featured in our AWESOME ANGLE and our regular readers know that info carries significant weight. Of course, QB Ryan Lindley, a 6th round pick out of San Diego State in 2012, has not inspired confidence thus far in his NFL career: he played in six games in 2012, starting four of them, while tossing 7 INT's and 0 TD's. He was released this season but re-signed when Carson Palmer went down. Rookie Logan Thomas is the other backup, but obviously is not quite ready for games of this importance. Arizona has fluctuated from being the team that no one believed in to one that collected a serious bandwagon, but the fact is that the Cards became the first NFC team to clinch a playoff berth this season. They've relied heavily on their defense en route to a 9-1 start, and now share the NFL's best record with New England and Denver at 11-3. In case you missed last week's TRIVIA TEASER , it's back again this week providing The Clincher: Cardinals head coach Bruce Arians is 14-2 SU and 15-1 ATS in his NFL career when his teams are facing an opponent off a SUATS win.
MINNESOTA over Miami by 8
Somehow we don't think Joe Philbin's halftime speeches will be confused with Martin Luther King's 'I Have a Dream' masterpiece as the Fish have been outscored 41-3 in the second half the past
two weeks. Sure, this is a must-win for the Dolphins but wasn't that the case late last season when they lost to the Bills and Jets by a combined score of 39-7? And while Jim Harbaugh looks to be taking the trolley out of San Fran, Miami fans would probably chip in for one of those cigarette speedboats to race Clueless Joe out of town. Thus, it appears we have another lame-duck coach laying points this time of year. No thanks. Not with Miami native Teddy Bridgewater (5-6 SU and 8-3 ATS) gaining confidence with each start as Vikings QB. As it is, the Dolphins are a 'leaking oil' favorite (0-3 'ITS' last three) that is 1-4 SUATS in their last five games against the NFC North and 1-4 ATS as non-division favorites before facing the Jets. Our MIDWEEK ALERT also informs us that they've regressed during the second-half of the season as they have been outgained by an average of 70 YPG – not a good sign against a Minny team that held the high-flying Lions to a season-low 233 yards last week and is 18-4-1 SU and 17-6 ATS before battling the Bears when facing a foe off a SUATS loss. Hence, we have a dream of our own thanks to our all-knowing database as it provides The Clincher: .500 exact home favorites in Game Fifteen of the NFL season are 2-17 ATS since 1980 when playing off a SU double-digit loss.
