"Cleveland Cavaliers have reached out to Phil Jackson about their head coach opening, sources told ESPN.com.
Jackson is considering other coaching options, sources said. The Brooklyn Nets and possibly the Sacramento Kings -- if they relocate to Seattle -- are two teams likely to appeal to Jackson more than the Cavaliers, according to sources close to the situation".
Brooklyn is the only team close to having star players to mesh, JJ (31), Wallace (30), Deron (28) aren't young. The core of that team IMO is basically Lopez & Deron, Can't see that team lasting very long before a possible rebuild.
"Jackson is believed to be looking for a similar situation as Pat Riley has with the Miami Heat -- oversee personnel moves and mentor a head coach. To land and keep Riley, the Heat gave him a deal that included an ownership stake in the franchise".
I think the quote I highlighted is going to play the biggest factor - part ownership. The 2 teams mentioned as preference Brooklyn, Seattle.
JayZ is selling his stock in Brooklyn
Kings are moving to a new ownership group in Seattle.

I have no idea who Chukwudiebere Maduabum is, but on his Draft Express profile, hes listed as Chu Chu. I think hes worthy of picking just for that. He immediately is in the running for best All-Time NBA name. -Tim W.

No way that BC's option is picked up at this point. Lieweke wants to make changes. He's talking championships not making the 1st round. That in itself is enough to kill any speculation. The Raps are a hamster in a wheel. It's time to let the hamster go (BC).

Bryan Coangelo's departure will be the highlight of the season for me.
I haven't read a confirmed source yet so we can all just speculate but I am also leaning towards "Colangelo will be fired". It won't matter if Stefanski stays for a "puppet" purpose. It would be only until a new GM is hired. I think that Leiweke approach is the right one - so he will definitely make an offer to Phil Jackson. It would be up to Phil if he agrees - and we may never know the exact offer. But Leiweke strikes me as a great businessman and as such he MUST make an offer to Phil. I just don't see how he wouldn't. Also he will check the "results" Colangelo accomplished here and he will notice there are none.
Great hiring. I am looking forward to the changes Leiweke will make.
Arse on the homepage noticed the very striking disconnect between Leiweke's approach to Toronto (great city, compete with any) to Colangelo's (we need to overspend, we are at a disadvantage).
I have never been a fan of the "boo hoo Toronto" excuses. Win and these things won't and don't matter.
I am tired of Colangelo. For all the talk of culture change in the last 2 years, the previous 5 years saw Colangelo in charge. I don't think he would have called himself or the team a loser in 2006-2008 when they had playoff appearances so this loser mentality has come about on his watch.
Leiweke's going to blow it up. I don't know if he's going to bring in Phil or Shaw (that would be amazing though) but he seems like a pretty intelligent guy and you don't need a high IQ to tell BC isn't ever going to make the team dominant.

well yes. Toronto may be a "small market" popularity wise among NBA players but it ain't really small market considering MLSE and that is it the 4th biggest city in North America.
What I've wondered and don't know anything about: is there big difference between the taxes for players when they play in Toronto in comparison with American cities which would make them expect a higher salary to get the same net salary?

Rudy Gay is another piece to be added if you are bringing other pieces as well because he himself is not going to make your team a whole lot better right now. If Memphis want Ed, Jose and Ross then its going to be an addition by subtracting and the Raptors will suffer as a result since their team is currently build on a balanced system of players where the two units help each other out.
This is why the deal doesn't make sense at the moment unless Colangelo has more up his sleive, otherwise I wouldn't do it right now and possibly wait untill the summer where Gay stock will likely to drop some more (if he hasn't moved by then) and the Raptors would be in a better position to assess their direction.
Im pretty sure within BCs vision of the team and Casey input Demar, Ross and JV are untouchable core pieces he wants to keep around for the next 5 years unless a legit talent allstar is being pitched our way.
When I read the Gay trade thing I could only lol, really I have no problem with how the turnaround has been continuing with the group and building chemistry and moving Bargnani is a good strategy. Save bigger trades or acquisitions come off season when guys like Milsap our free agents this way.
I'm surprised they didn't take the clippers deal. I'd take that deal and then trade bledsoe away as well. get the picks and Caron to man the 3. trade bledsoe for better picks and another backup. probably be teams lined up for a great young guard like him.
Who to believe in it all????
I believe it was Matt Moore who said the price was rising. Well, surprise, here comes another angle to the story:
As the Memphis Grizzlies continue to shop Rudy Gay, it has become clear that teams aren't exactly lining up to trade for the 26-year-old forward. The Grizzlies have talked to a number of teams and gauged their interest, but most executives aren't willing to part with significant pieces to acquire Gay. That could be why Memphis has explored other options such as waiting until the offseason to move Gay or trading Zach Randolph instead.
The Grizzlies' payroll currently sits at $74,127,785, and with the league's luxury tax threshold at just over $70 million, Memphis is in danger of having to pay the tax.
If the Grizzlies do trade Gay, don't expect them to acquire a star player or even a high-potential rookie. The more likely scenario is Gay being traded for a package that includes several role players on short, reasonable contracts and possibly a draft pick. That's why players like Jared Dudley of the Phoenix Suns and J.J. Redick of the Orlando Magic have been mentioned as realistic targets for Memphis. Bradley Beal of the Washington Wizards was briefly mentioned as a possibility, but that was quickly shot down, which lines up with the idea that teams aren't willing to move a star-in-the-making for Gay.
One of the biggest reasons that teams aren't expressing much interest in Gay is because of his contract. He's owed $16,460,532 this season and then $17,888,932 and $19,317,326 over the next two seasons. He'll be one of the highest paid players in the league for the duration of his contract and teams don't seem to think he's worth that much money.
It doesn't help that Gay is having one of the worst seasons of his career. It's hard to justify paying that much money for a player when his numbers are down across the board. This year, Gay has averaged 17.7 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.4 steals while shooting 41.7 percent from the field and 31.2 from beyond the arc. Those numbers are lower than Gay's stats over the last two years. The Grizzlies are having success – they currently sit at 24-13 and hold the fourth seed in the Western Conference – but Gay hasn't been as effective or efficient this year.
Gay's struggles are why his Player Efficiency Rating is just 14.95, which is below the league average of 15. Gay's PER hasn't been that low since his rookie year, when he came off of the bench for half of Memphis' games and played just 27 minutes per contest. Gay's PER is just the fifth-best on the Grizzlies and his PER is ranked 140th among all NBA players. In fact, Dudley and Redick both have higher PERs than Gay this season. If you don't think PER matters, keep in mind that the inventor of PER, John Hollinger, recently joined the Grizzlies' front office as the team's vice president of basketball operations.
If a team is trading away significant pieces for Gay and willing to take on his contract, it's because they believe that he can become a cornerstone of their franchise. The fact that Gay has regressed rather than improved this season is a concern for potential suitors.
The Grizzlies will likely continue to shop Gay and weigh their options over the next month, but finding a trade partner that's willing to give Memphis the deal that they want before the NBA's trade deadline on February 21 may be more difficult than expected.

Thinking more about Gay and I really don't see him being traded before deadline.... could be wrong but I can't see it as they have been building this for so long, they really should give it one last shot.
I still like Gay on the Raptors - but not for anything that includes JV or Ross.
Hopefully Raptors can acquire some more assets to entice Memphis draft night or in the summer. Wilson Chandler would be a good start. Any trade for Gay is not going to be equal on talent due to his contract. Chandler would be a nice starting piece for a trade package. I think he regains form and, due to increased PT, it would happen sooner in Toronto. The key, of course, is not giving up too much to get WC.
you could throw in second round pick or arron gray
handles can be improved and shot creation is just him studying his strengths and weaknesses as a player, hes a rookie only the elite guys come straight out of college and can rack up 20+ a game with just putting the ball in thier hands.
It's a bit early to predict Ross' trajectory, and I don't know how hard he works. However, I tend to think that a Ross-Gay combination works better than a DeRozan-Gay one. It is more balanced on both ends of the floor (and with the salary cap).
- Davis/Amir to Denver for Chandler (to backup Faried at PF, and they are set on the wings)
- Calderon & DeRozan & Chandler to Memphis for Gay & Selby (DD & WC effectively replace Gay & Mayo, while Calderon is $10M savings)
- Gay & Selby to Toronto
I worry that Memphis has lost interest in DeRozan because his new contract no longer represents a significant enough savings from Gay.
I fully agree with not giving up Valanciunas or Ross, but would be happy with any other Raptors being on the trade block right now, with improving overall talent level for the long-term being the goal.

Feds Slap Collective $9.3 Billion Hit on Big Banks for Deficient Mortgage Servicing
Thirteen big banks were collectively handed a $9.3 billion penalty from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Reserve Board for "deficient practices in mortgage loan servicing and foreclosure processing."
The regulators said amendments that memorialize agreements in principle announced in January will increase the previously announced penalty to $3.6 billion in cash payments and $5.7 billion in other assistance to borrowers, such as loan modifications and forgiveness of deficiency judgments.
In providing the $5.7 billion in assistance, the 13 servicers are expected to undertake well-structured loss mitigation efforts focused on foreclosure prevention, particularly those designed to keep borrowers in their homes "through affordable, sustainable, and meaningful home preservation actions," the OCC said this week in a release.
Aurora, Bank of America, Citibank, Goldman Sachs, HSBC, JPMorgan Chase, MetLife Bank, Morgan Stanley, PNC, Sovereign, SunTrust, U.S. Bank and Wells Fargo are the 13 banks that received the enforcement actions, which replace the requirements related to the Independent Foreclosure Review.
For GMAC Mortgage, Everbank and OneWest, which did not enter agreements in principle with federal regulators, the Independent Foreclosure Review process continues, the OCC said.
The OCC and Federal Reserve said their examiners will continue to monitor the banks' implementation of corrective actions.
Borrowers covered by the amendments include 4.2 million people whose homes were in any stage of the foreclosure process in 2009 or 2010 and whose mortgages were serviced by one of the companies listed above. The paying agent, the Minneapolis-based Rust Consulting Inc., will contact affected borrowers by the end of March with payment details, the agencies said.
Rust will send payments and correspondence regarding the settlement, which will range from hundreds of dollars up to $125,000. Borrowers are not required to take any additional steps to receive the payments, or execute a waiver of any legal claims they may have against their servicer as a condition for receiving payment.
Borrowers can call Rust Consulting at 1-888-952-9105 to update their contact information or to verify that they are covered by the amendments.

of the things that many people hate the most about commercials on TV
is that the volume of those commercials is often much higher than the
volume of the show being watched. That means that TV watchers end up
having to have the remote in hands to adjust the volume constantly
and depending on the show and the number of commercials that constant
adjustment can quickly get annoying.Congress has passed
a new act that is headed to Obama's desk called the CALM
Act that will force commercial makers to regulate the volume
of their commercials so that the commercials are no louder than the
accompanying programming. President Obama is expected to sign the
bill into law. CALM stands for Commercial Advertising Loudness
Mitigation. The act has been in the works for a while and was
approved by the House and Senate this week clearing the way for Obama
to sign it into law.The Wall
Street Journal quotes
Rep. Anna Eshoo, the sponsor of the House bill, saying, "Consumers
have been asking for a solution to this problem for decades, and
today they finally have it. [The bill] gives consumers peace of mind,
because it puts them in control of the sound in their homes."The
FCC has received complaints about the volume of ads for years and has
historically told users to simply mute the volume. Eshoo said,
"Consumers will no longer have to experience being blasted at.
It's a simple fix to a huge nuisance."The sponsor of
the Senate bill was Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse. Whitehouse stated,
"While this is far from the biggest issue we face, it will mean
one less daily annoyance in our lives."

Meet our child protection expert: Part 1
Why World Vision? In this 2-part Q&A (check back for part 2 tomorrow!), Matthew Stephens, senior specialist for child protection with World Vision, explores how our community development work and child sponsorship program help protect children from abuse, neglect, exploitation, and violence.
* * *
1. All of World Vision's work is focused on promoting child well-being; so in a way, clean water, health, food all protect children. So what does child protection mean specifically?
World Vision defines child protection as taking all measures to prevent or respond to abuse, neglect, exploitation, and other forms of violence affecting children. It's true that a family's ability to meet their children's basic health needs or to send their children to school contribute to children's protection.
However, the opposite is also true: Children who are not protected are often actively prevented from achieving their full potential. Violence or exploitation can undermine any child well-being outcome, just as a safe environment provides children with the opportunity to develop holistically.
A child forced into hazardous work may never see the inside of a classroom. A child whose innocence and childhood is stolen by being sold into exploitation is exposed to emotional, psychological, and physical harm, which dramatically alters their ability to form positive relationships. A child whose family and community see him or her as property may never have the opportunity to thrive.
An unprotected child is one who may never experience a life in all its fullness.
Our child protection efforts address the tragedies of children in hazardous labor; children trafficked for sex or labor exploitation; children affected by war and conflict; children living in institutions and on the street; children exposed to sexual, physical, and emotional abuse in the home and in schools; and children subject to harmful practices, such as female genital mutilation and early marriage.
World Vision seeks to create a protective environment around children, such that they not only survive, but thrive in their community. We work to ensure that families can provide not only materially for their children, but also emotionally and with the opportunity for learning and growth. We engage communities to address inequalities and harmful attitudes and practices, which devalue girls and the most vulnerable children in society. We work to ensure that a system of care and support exists in communities to quickly identify and respond to cases of abuse, exploitation, and violence against children.
World Vision provides immediate care and services -- such as short-term shelter, as well as medical, legal, and psychosocial support to children affected by violence -- and works with local partners to ensure that children receive long-term, community-based restorative care, access to education, and the livelihood support they need.
2. If you had to choose just one, what would you say is the greatest danger to children around the world? Why that one?
One of the largest and most often overlooked threats to children is violence and abuse found closest to home -- experienced within the family, school, and community. Sexual, psychological, and physical abuse experienced within the family has dramatic effects on children's emotional and psychological well-being; the ability to form and develop positive and long-lasting relationships; academic performance; and physiological development.
It should be noted that globally, physical and sexual violence are still most often perpetrated by people children know personally. Violence and abuse in schools have the potential to derail education efforts for children for life. Further, for children living outside of family care, the risks of physical and sexual abuse are even greater.
3. How does World Vision address abuse in the home?
World Vision's community-based approach allows us to address concerns where they occur and to protect children where they are. Through our area development programs, World Vision conducts extensive assessments of child protection risks and contextualizes its response to these communities. We work first to ensure a loving and safe family environment for children through parental training and engagement, parental support groups, and support for families with vulnerable children.
For children outside parental care, World Vision seeks to ensure that children have the opportunity to return to family-based care, either by working to reunite them with biological parents or extended family, or by supporting their reintegration into alternative family-based care.
4. What are some of the other important ways that we protect children?
The oft-quoted African proverb, "it takes a village to raise a child," is absolutely true. Protecting children is a comprehensive effort from all those around children: mothers and fathers, police officers, social workers, teachers, nurses, faith and community leaders, and even children themselves. World Vision works with all parties, training teachers and nurses to report abuse; training police officers to respond appropriately to child violence; supporting child protection committees; creating safe spaces for children to learn and play; supporting the creation of school committees to ensure a safe learning environment; and engaging faith leaders to speak out against violence and abuse.
There is much work to be done to protect children from harm, but for any of these efforts to be successful, it is an absolute requirement that the communities around children are promoting these efforts together.
Read Part 2 here.
Child sponsorship is the cornerstone of World Vision's approach to community development. Join us! Change a child's life for good. Sponsoring a child helps provide life-saving basics, as well as protection from abuse and exploitation. Consider sponsoring a child today!

This dataset is maintained and distributed by the National Archive of Criminal Justice Data (NACJD), the criminal justice archive within ICPSR. NACJD is primarily sponsored by three agencies within the U.S. Department of Justice: the Bureau of Justice Statistics, the National Institute of Justice, and the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention.
Effects of Cognitive Interviewing, Practice, and Interview Style on Children's Recall Performance in California, 1989-1990 (ICPSR 9789)
Principal Investigator(s): Geiselman, R. Edward; Saywitz, Karen J.; Bornstein, Gail K.
This data collection, designed to improve the quality of children's testimony in court, evaluates how different types of interview formats affect the completeness and accuracy of children's recall performance. Specifically, the study assesses the impact of a "practice interview" about an event on the completeness and accuracy of later reports about a second, unrelated event. Three interview conditions were employed, and each condition consisted of both a practice interview and a target interview. The three conditions were RS, RC, and CC, where "R" represents a practice session with rapport-building only, "S" represents a target interview that contained all components of the standard interview procedure, and "C" represents either a practice or target interview that contained all components of the cognitive interview procedure. In rapport-building sessions, interviewers talked about school activities, family life, and favorite games with the child. In standard and cognitive interview sessions, the rapport-building sessions were followed by a request from the interviewer for the child to verbalize a narrative account of "what happened" during an event that had been previously staged by the experimenter. This narrative account was then followed by the interviewer's request for additional information about the event. Cognitive interviews also included several additional questions that were hypothesized to improve recall performance. The number of correct items recalled and the number of incorrect items generated were used to compare the performance of children in the three interview conditions.

We brought you news just
over two months ago that Google was working on yet another
project: Google TV. The early reports suggested that Google TV would
be made up of a set-top box featuring Intel hardware and that Sony
would be a partner in the project.
Well, today Google TV is now official.
Like many consumer electronics platforms coming out of Google these
days, Google TV is based on the Android platform. Google TV devices
will use an Intel Atom CE4100 system-on-a-chip processor and can be
used with any cable or satellite provider (Google is partnering with
DISH Network though for the launch of Google TV).
Consumers will either be able to
purchase a separate Google TV set-top box or a brand new TV that
comes already equipped with Google TV technology.
Being that Google TV runs the Android
operating system, it will have a full Chrome internet browser to surf
the web on your 60" LED TV (naturally) along with support for
Flash 10.1. Google TV will also support Amazon Video on Demand,
YouTube, and Netflix. In addition, like smartphones running Android,
Google TV will have access to the Android Marketplace and all the
apps that come with it (specifically tailored for a large-screen
Official Google Blog has this to say about the navigation and
search features of the new platform:
Google TV uses
search to give you an easy and fast way to navigate to television
channels, websites, apps, shows and movies. For example, already know
the channel or program you want to watch? Just type in the name and
you're there. Want to check out that funny YouTube video on your
48" flat screen? It's just a quick search away. If you know what
you want to watch, but you're not sure where to find it, just type
in what you're looking for and Google TV will help you find it on
the web or on one of your many TV channels. If you'd rather browse
than search, you can use your standard program guide, your DVR or the
Google TV home screen, which provides quick access to all of your
favorite entertainment so you're always within reach of the content
you love most.
Currently, Google has Sony -- with its
"Sony Internet TV" coming this fall -- and Logitech signed
as partners on the project, but we're sure that a whole slew of other
third-parties will be lining up to lend Google a hand.
"I am delighted to announce the
unique alignment of Google's rapidly growing, open source Android
platform with Sony's unparalleled expertise in the field of TV
design and technology," said Howard Stringer, Chairman,
President and CEO, Sony Corporation. "The addition of 'Sony
Internet TV' will further bolster Sony's comprehensive TV lineup
and will fuse new levels of enjoyment and interactivity into the TV
"We committed to Google TV early on
because it aligns with our strategy to support open platforms that
enable new immersive experiences in the digital living room,"
added Gerald Quindlen, President and CEO of Logitech. "While
Google TV enables seamless discovery of all your content, Logitech
enables seamless control over how you experience that content. We
look forward to continued collaboration with Google and the developer
community to create new Google TV experiences that have yet to be

Individual rights and police information sharing focus of INTERPOL and Fair Trials International meeting
LYON, France – A meeting between Fair Trials International and INTERPOL has been held at the Organization's General Secretariat headquarters to discuss the world police body's Notices system, particularly in relation to Red Notices, or internationally wanted persons alerts.
At the invitation of INTERPOL, the delegation from Fair Trials International led by Chief Executive Jago Russell which included Head of Law Reform, Libby McVeigh and Law Reform Officer, Alex Tinsley, met with INTERPOL Secretary General Ronald K. Noble and other INTERPOL officials on Tuesday, as part of an ongoing constructive dialogue.
Fair Trials International recognized INTERPOL's central role in assisting its member countries to combat international crime and tracking fugitives. It also highlighted the importance of ensuring that the Notice system not be used inappropriately and made a number of recommendations in relation to addressing this issue.
INTERPOL recognized the central importance of respect for fundamental human rights and neutrality to its work and welcomed Fair Trials International's constructive contribution to this.
The meeting concluded with an agreement from both organizations on specific areas for further engagement.

Thanks for the tip, Camille! I think. Sniff.
P.S. I'm starting to get some comments here...please don't get me wrong; Nobody's hatin' on anything and we all think RPattz is *awesome* for taking on this daring, iconic role. I was only initially bummed because when I saw 'Rated R' I thought I was gonna see something *Smexy & Hot* when I clicked on the link.
P.P.P.S. JanetOC helped me realize that it's the *TUCK*, not the BUCK (nekkid) part that may be giving people pause. :-)
The Tuck = Confusing
(What the Buck, is up with the Tuck?)

Australian [Adelaide] Longitudinal Study of Aging, Wave 6: [1999-2000] (ICPSR 3679)
Principal Investigator(s): Andrews, Gary R., Flinders University of South Australia. Centre for Ageing Studies; Myers, George C., Flinders University of South Australia. Centre for Ageing Studies
The general purpose of the Australian [Adelaide] Longitudinal Study of Aging (ALSA) is to gain further understanding of how social, biomedical, and environmental factors are associated with age-related changes in the health and well-being of persons aged 70 years and older. Emphasis is given to the effects of social and economic factors on morbidity, disability, acute and long-term care service use, and mortality. The aim is to analyze the complex relationships between individual and social factors and changes in health status, health care needs, and service utilization dimensions. Components of Wave 6 (1999-2000) (Part 1) include a comprehensive personal interview conducted via the Computer-Assisted Personal Interview (CAPI) system, a home-based assessment of physiological functions, self-completed questionnaires, and additional clinical studies. In Part 2, Wave 6 Clinical Data, information about the health histories of the respondents was elicited, including information on medication, blood pressure, and physical and mental disabilities.

The context
About half of all Indonesians live on less than two dollars a day. Employment growth has been slower than population growth. Public services remain inadequate by middle-income standards, and health indicators are poor. The island is also one of the most disaster-prone nations in the world.
Our work
- Economic opportunity: Providing technical assistance, training and financial services to microfinance institutions throughout the country and helping spice farmers earn more income
- Health: Raising awareness and supporting mothers to practice and promote exclusive breastfeeding
- Water: Improving sanitation and hygiene in crowded urban areas with a mobile sludge removal service
- Disaster preparedness: Identifying and mapping areas at risk and helping those communities plan, train and practice how to respond when disasters occur
- Emergency response: Maintaining a response team ready to quickly deploy and provide immediate relief to survivors during the critical first months after a disaster strikes
All stories about Indonesia
Indonesia: Staff in Padang is safe
We'd mentioned in a couple of blog entries that, because of telecommunications outages in the earthquake zone, we hadn't yet heard from our staff in the devastated city of Padang.
Indonesia: Arrival in Padang
Because of many delays, my flight from Jakarta arrived at Padang's damaged airport at night, less than 30 hours after the devastating 7.6-magnitude earthquake that shook the city.
Indonesia: The Big Map
At 5:16 P.M. (Indonesian time) on September 30, a 7.6 earthquake hit off the coast of Sumatra. By 2:40 P.M. Portland time, reporter Pat Dooris from KGW-TV in Portland, Oregon had showed up to interview Paul Jeffery, our Senior Program Manager for Southeast Asia.
Indonesia: Major earthquake strikes western Sumatra
A powerful earthquake struck western Indonesia today, collapsing buildings and causing landslides in coastal areas, especially Padang — a city of 900,000 people.
Indonesia: Bringing joy back to Aceh
Lately it's been quite cold because of the marathon rain pouring down nonstop for the last two days over Banda Aceh. The clouds have been sending away the intense sunshine that usually covers the town.
Indonesia: Meeting the survivors
Last Friday afternoon, as half of Mercy Corps' Healthy Start team were preparing for the weekend, we were suddenly pulled into a rush meeting at the round table we share.
Indonesia: Ask me, and I will follow you down
How do you recognize a midwife who's already trained to be a breastfeeding counselor? And who do you ask about breastfeeding if you go to puskesmas, local health facilities around Indonesia?
Indonesia: Ibu Durti...please don't run away!
Indonesia: Opening the Taps
If water is life, then Tanah Merah was dying.
Indonesia: Shaking off the numbness
Yesterday, a colleague in Indonesia told me that one of the slum areas we had visited while I was in Jakarta had been reduced to smoldering wreckage.

Belgian police chief visit to INTERPOL looks to expand cooperation
LYON, France – Identifying further areas of cooperation in which INTERPOL's global tools and international law enforcement network can further support national and regional security was the focus of a visit to INTERPOL's General Secretariat headquarters today by Catherine De Bolle, Commissioner General of the Belgian Federal Police.
In meetings with Secretary General Ronald K. Noble and other senior INTERPOL officials, where a range of activities in which Belgium and INTERPOL work closely together was discussed, Commissioner De Bolle highlighted how cases in the areas of drug and vehicle trafficking, maritime piracy and violent crimes demonstrated the value of INTERPOL's products and services to police in the field.
"I am strongly committed to enhancing information exchange through INTERPOL's channels and the use of its global databases by the Belgian police forces," said Belgium's Federal Police Chief.
"Since crime does not stop at our borders, nor should the response to it. In this respect, the Belgian Federal Police supports efforts by INTERPOL to strengthen professional international police cooperation, including the establishment of the INTERPOL Global Complex for Innovation in Singapore and the development of the West African Police Information System," added Commissioner De Bolle.
The West African Police Information System (WAPIS), developed by INTERPOL is an EU-funded project initiated during Belgium's presidency of the Council of the European Union in 2010. The project allows West African police to access and manage in a structured way police data related to organized crime by facilitating the collection, centralization, management, sharing and analysis of police information among countries belonging to the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).
Welcoming the visit to the world police body by Belgium's Federal Police Commissioner as an opportunity to identify areas where Belgium and INTERPOL can collaborate 'even more closely', INTERPOL Secretary General Noble said: "During its long relationship with INTERPOL, the Belgian Federal Police has demonstrated its leadership in the area of international law enforcement cooperation and it is an essential partner to INTERPOL's vision for a safer world."
In this respect, the Head of INTERPOL recalled the 'exemplary collaborative actions' taken by Belgium's Federal Police in the case of a Somali man suspected of maritime piracy who was extradited from the Seychelles to Belgium in May 2012 after a cross-check of his fingerprints against INTERPOL's databases in March 2011 linked the suspect with the hijack of Belgian vessel MV Pompei in waters off the Seychelles in April 2009.
Immediately after the release of the hijacked vessel in June 2009, Belgian Federal Police conducted an extensive forensic crime scene investigation of the vessel and its results were added to INTERPOL's maritime piracy and fingerprints databases.
Later, in March 2011, following the arrest of six Somali nationals in waters off the Seychelles, its police provided INTERPOL with the fingerprints of the individuals to be cross-checked with INTERPOL's databases. The check revealed that the prints of one of the apprehended individuals matched latent marks seized by Belgian Federal Police on the hijacked Belgian vessel.
"A global collaborative approach to security involving countries sharing intelligence, connecting the dots and maximizing the use of INTERPOL's global police tools is today key to effectively protecting citizens across regions and worldwide," concluded Secretary General Noble.
Commissioner De Bolle was accompanied by Dirk Allaerts, Head of Cabinet, Peter De Buyschere, Director of International Police Cooperation, Michel Croquet, Director of Operational Police Information and Head of INTERPOL's National Central Bureau in Brussels, and Alain Barbier, Assistant Director in Brussels at the office of the Special Representative of INTERPOL to the European Union.

The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission said Monday that the federally protected raptor was found on private land on Feb. 2 near Highland in Pike County, along Arkansas Highway 26.
Wildlife officers say that since the eagle was found along a highway, it's possible that someone saw or heard something that could be helpful to investigators.
Bald eagles are protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act federal wildlife statutes.
The $2,000 reward is being offered for information leading to a conviction of the culprit.

A risk factor is something that increases your chance of getting a disease or condition.
It is possible to develop multiple sclerosis (MS) with or without the risk factors listed below. However, the more risk factors you have, the greater your likelihood of developing MS. If you have a number of risk factors, ask your doctor what you can do to reduce your risk.
Risk factors for MS include:
Medical Conditions
A viral infection may trigger MS. Researchers have been investigating a type of herpes virus, human herpes virus-6, and Epstein-Barr virus. Some medical experts believe that it is the way certain people respond to the virus that may trigger MS.
People who have an isolated attack of optic neuritis (inflammation of the optic nerve) have a high risk of developing MS.
Risk appears to be greatest between the ages of 16 and 40. This is when most people with MS are diagnosed.
At younger ages, women tend to be diagnosed with MS more frequently than men. However, the gender ratio is more equally balanced in people who develop MS later in life.
Genetic Factors
There may be a genetic component to MS, and sometimes it occurs in families. Researchers suspect more than one gene may be involved.
People with a family history of systemic lupus erythematosus are also at an increased risk.
Ethnic Background
MS is more common in people of Northern European descent, especially people who are of Scandinavian background.
Vitamin D
According to some studies, people with a low intake of vitamin D had an increased risk of MS. But researchers are still investigating vitamin D's role in the development of MS.
If you are concerned about your vitamin D level, talk to your doctor, who can test your blood. Vitamin D can be found in foods like cod liver oil, salmon, mackerel, sardines, and vitamin-D fortified milk. You can also get vitamin D by spending time in the sunshine, which triggers your body to go through a process to produce the vitamin.
Other Factors
Other factors that may increase your risk of MS include:
- Climate—Living in a colder climate early in life may increase your risk of developing MS. This could be related to getting less sun exposure.
- Smoking—Smoking is also thought to be associated with a higher risk of MS.

While Ross' natural talent is unquestionable and his All Star Slam Dunk success only further proof of his natural abilitiy, it remains to be seen exactly how good he'll be in the NBA. Be it shooting, rebounding or defence, he may not(yet) have great numbers, the potential however is obvious. While I'm hopeful and optimistic he'll become a superstar, it wouldn't surprise me if he became an above average all-star caliber player or an average role player either. The only thing that would surprise me is if he never makes it in the NBA at all.
Based on what you've seen, how good do you think he'll be?

ICBA Encourages Small Businesses to 'Go Local'
The Independent Community Bankers of America is encouraging small business owners and consumers to link up with a community bank as the trade group kicks off its Community Banking Month.
Throughout April, the ICBA will celebrate the role of community banks as well as educate consumers and small business owners on the benefits of banking locally, said Bill Loving, ICBA chairman and president/CEO of Pendleton Community Bank in Franklin, W.Va.
"Community banks are relationship lenders that thrive when their customers and communities do the same. Taking care of customers and looking out for the best interest of local communities is the community banking business model," Loving said.
The ICBA said it has nearly 5,000 members holding $1.3 trillion in assets, $1.1 trillion in deposits, and $800 billion in loans to consumers, small businesses and the agricultural community.
Meanwhile, CUNA said everything that credit unions do, regardless of charter, is "local" in terms of serving their membership, regardless of where they live or work, according to Pat Keefe, CUNA vice president of communications and community outreach.
"We've always taken the view that the MBL legislation is really about helping small business, which is still in need of more credit, "Keefe said. "If the legislation pending in the House today were passed into law, $13 billion would be lent to small businesses, helping them create over 146,000 new jobs in the first year after enactment. That's our focus."

This study is provided by ICPSR. ICPSR provides leadership and training in data access, curation, and methods of analysis for a diverse and expanding social science research community.
Social Composition of Detroit, 1880-1900 (ICPSR 8200)
Principal Investigator(s): Zunz, Olivier
This data collection consists of detailed examinations of various facets of life in Detroit in the years from 1880 through 1900. Data from 13 different primary sources (such as the manuscript censuses) were collected to analyze the effect that technological innovation and the environmental change that went with it had on the American social structure. Detroit is seen as a city that experienced all the problems of industrialization, as well as the advantages. It had a diverse ethnic population and grew rapidly in the years from 1880-1900. In addition to 1880 and 1900 census information, the study variables elicit information pertaining to the lifestyles, work experiences, and nationalities of people employed in various trades, including furniture making, railroad work, and vehicle manufacturing. The files on land use in 1880 and 1900 contain information on the number, type, and use of buildings in a given block. The files entitled, Charities and Women, contain information on nationality of respondents, their health and the health of their children, their current and previous residences, income, and property owned.

December 16, Third Sunday of Advent.
Cycle C. Readings:
1) Zephaniah 3:14-18a
Psalm) Isaiah 12:2-6
2) Philippians 4:4-7
Gospel) Luke 3:10-18
This week's Gospel of Luke continues John the Baptist'sAdvent message. Those who have heard his admonition to prepare the way of the Lord ask the prophet to specify, "What should we do?"
He offers instruction that basically tells them to clean up their lives by personally aiding those in need and getting rid of habits and practices that are selfish or hurtful to other people. He reiterates the need to sweep out these negative influences when he suggests that Christ will come with a "winnowing fan" to clear away the chaff, meaning the obstacles to his reign.
Freshly graduated from college, my friend Michele landed an enviable first job in the marketing section of a large national corporation. Her abilities quickly impressed her bosses, so they put her on a fast track to move up in the business.
But after only a couple of years, she felt a deep calling to serve God and thought it might be a vocation to religious life.
To the amazement of her young professional friends and doting supervisors, she began preparing herself to be more open to Christ's presence in her life. She had a lot of "chaff" to dispose of: She loved dating and socializing,
shopping for clothes, and then there was the whole competitive, profit-pushing attitude of the business world she occupied.
Although it was hard to explain to the people around her, Michele knew she had to clear those things out in order for Christ to enter, unencumbered, into her life and work his will.
After also giving away all her material possessions, Michele spent more than a year in a convent discerning her vocation. It turned out not to be as a religious sister.
Now, years later, she is a wife and mother of three children in a young family filled with the love of Jesus. Effortlessly, it seems, she shines Christ's light in her community: her children's school, her church, and, yes, in the corporate world where she works.
The rich fulfillment of Michele's call to Christ began with her first following the call to clear his way into her life.
The Advent Gospel calls us to look at what surrounds us and determine to clear away the obstacles to Christ's presence.
What possessions, attitudes, habits, or activities get in the way of your relationship and dialogue with Christ? Which ones will you try to clear away this Advent season?

President Barack Obama certainly isn't setting modest goals when it
comes to electric vehicles. The President is taking a
gamble, pouring
over $2.4B USD into the budding industry. A 100-mile
range battery EV today costs around $33,000 USD to make, but Obama
hopes to drop that cost to $16,000 by 2013 and $10,000 by
2015.President Obama was visiting
Michigan this week to check in on many pending battery
projects that are receiving a piece of that $2.4B USD pie.Among
the events he attended was the groundbreaking ceremony in Holland,
Michigan of a Compact
Power Inc. plant that will be used to provide batteries for
the Chevy Volt. Compact Power, owned by South Korea's LG,
announced news more big news at the ceremony -- Ford picked it to
produce batteries for the plug-in Ford Focus. The
plant will cost $303M USD to build, but the government will be
chipping in $151M USD. The plant is expected to employ 450
workers by 2013 according to the Obama administration. The jobs
are expected to pay $14, providing a decent standard of living to
workers.Obama also checked out Johnson Controls-Saft's new
$220M lithium-ion battery plant, also in Holland, Michigan.
That plant may prove to be a key competitor to Compact Power in the
near future, and is also receiving federal stimulus funding.On
Friday, Energy Secretary Steven Chu will visit Delphi Automotive
in Kokomo, Indiana. Delphi is one of the auto industry's
top suppliers. The U.S. government is offering it $89M USD in
grants to develop new components for electric
vehicles.Meanwhile, Ed Montgomery, executive director of
the White House Council on Automotive Communities and Workers, will
be visiting General Motor's new plant in in White Marsh, Maryland.
While GM will buy battery cells from suppliers like Compact Power, it
will assemble
its own battery packs and supporting systems in house at
this new plant. GM is receiving $241M USD in federal funding
for its EV efforts in total, including $106M USD towards this new
plant.Charlotte, North Carolina-based Celgard will be
receiving a visit from Labor Secretary Hilda Solis. Celgard
will receive $49M USD in stimulus money, which will allow it hire 100
employees, open a plant, and reach production.While grants to
promote the actual manufacturing of electric vehicles and their
battery systems are one key aspect of Obama's efforts, another major
component is the creation
of electrical vehicle charging stations. By spreading EV
chargers out like gas stations, the range of EVs can effectively be
extended.Companies like Coulomb Technologies will be
deploying the stations across the country later this year and next
year. New York-based Coulomb is receiving a $15M USD stimulus
grant to spread 4,600 such stations in nine cities by September
2011. That's a big chunk of the 20,000 station Obama hopes to
deploy by 2012 (there are currently 500 such stations in the
U.S.).The goals are lofty -- Obama is shooting for over
20,000 electric vehicle stations, 1 million EVs on the road, and
bargain EV prices of $10,000 per vehicle by 2015. In short,
he's trying to completely reinvent the American auto industry, much
of which essentially
collapsed during the recent recession.

Prudential: Study Shows Decline in Employee Optimism
Nearly four years after the financial crisis began, fewer employers and employees are reporting severe negative economic effects. However, both groups exhibit declining optimism about how they will be doing financially a year from now.
That's according to Prudential Insurance Company of America's new study, "Sharpening the Focus on Benefits Strategy."
Fourteen percent of both employers and employees cited severe negative economic effects, down significantly from 2010 results of 27% for employers and 22% for employees.
Conversely, employers who said their financial position will be better or improving in one year dropped from 70% in 2010 to 54% this year; employees reported a drop from 44% to 38%.
On the credit union front, 79% of employees said they see their employers as a trustworthy source to help them grow and protect their money, second only to credit unions (81%), according to the study.
Employers reported a 17% increase over 2010 results in making benefits strategies a main focus. With shifting ownership and cost of benefits to employees, employers' top strategies are, in priority order expanding wellness, preventive and work/life balance initiatives, improving the effectiveness of benefits communications, cost-sharing with employees, giving more financial responsibility to employees and increasing employee benefits education and financial advice.
The perceived value of employee benefits has also been trending upward, from 43% in 2010 to 59% today. Fifty-one percent of employees believe they are being offered a wide array of benefits, up from 38% two years ago.
Employees also said they are reading their benefit enrollment material in large numbers – 82% this year, up seven points from last year. Most agree they prefer benefits communications they can read on their own time, the research showed.
Prudential said the research was conducted via the Internet during July 2012, and consisted of three distinct surveys of plan sponsors, plan participants, and broker/consultant audiences.

Patelco Hires New Chief Information Officer, Says DDoS Attacks Not Involved
The $3.9 billion, 274,000-member Patelco Credit Union in Pleasanton, Calif., has hired a new chief information officer and senior vice president.
Kevin Landel takes the top tech job at a credit union that was recently hit twice by much-publicized Distributed Denial of Service attacks that took down its website, followed by the resignation of CEO Ken Burns earlier this month. Burns said the split was amicable.
Anthony Vitale had been the credit union's vice president of information technology. Vitale left Patelco to pursue other opportunities and his departure also was not related to the DDoS attacks, said Alison Jones, Patelco's vice president of marketing.
"Mr. Landel was recruited prior to the DDoS situation and his start date was delayed due to his desire to fulfill commitments with his previous employer," Jones told Credit Union Times on Thursday night. "We continue to work with a leading DDoS mitigation firm and have successfully taken steps to ensure the security of our systems and safety of our members' accounts and information.
Landel is a 30-year media technology veteran who most recently was senior vice president of information services at the $1.7 billion, 120,800-member California Coast Credit Union in San Diego.
"I am delighted to be starting with Patelco and returning to the Bay Area," Landel said in the credit union's announcement earlier Thursday. "The credit union is a good fit for me and I am looking forward to meeting the challenges and expanding the opportunities that will help Patelco meet our members' needs"
Landel has a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering and computer science from UC-Berkeley and a master's degree from the Media Lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, his new employer said.
His career has included work at the San Diego Supercomputer Center and executive roles at technology startups, as well as helping California Coast CU complete a series of mergers and enhancements to its online banking and mobile services, Patelco said.
He also is an avid surfer and Landel said he will miss the warm waters of San Diego, but "I'm excited about revisiting my roots, and the waves, in Santa Cruz" where he has family, Patelco said in its announcement.

Serbian determination results in arrest of Goran Hadzic, the last Balkans war fugitive
LYON, France – Today's arrest by Serbian authorities of Goran Hadzic, wanted by a United Nations war crimes tribunal on crimes against humanity and war crimes charges, and who was the subject of an INTERPOL Red Notice, or internationally wanted persons alert, has been praised by the world police body as an important step in international justice.
Hadzic, who faces a number of charges brought by the UN's International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) including the murder of hundreds of civilians, was the last remaining fugitive of the 161persons indicted by the Tribunal.
INTERPOL Secretary General Ronald K. Noble said that Hadzic's arrest, which comes less than two months after the capture of former Bosnian Serb military commander Ratko Mladic, 'marked a milestone for justice, not only in Europe, but across the globe.'
"It is thanks to the Serbian police, who should be commended for their continued efforts that Goran Hadzic is now in custody after more than seven years on the run.
"Today's arrest is also significant in recognition of the work of the ICTY and what they so far achieved in the 18 years since its creation, and INTERPOL is pleased to have supported the Tribunal in bringing those accused to justice," concluded the head of INTERPOL.
INTERPOL's Fugitive Investigative Support Unit at the General Secretariat headquarters in Lyon, France has been supporting investigations by member countries and International Criminal Tribunals and Courts into war crimes, genocide and crimes against humanity since 1994, liaising closely with its network of specialist investigators and National Central Bureaus in the exchange of information and leads.
In addition to its ongoing co-operation with the ICTY, officers continue to work closely with the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (UN-ICTR) as well as with the International Criminal Court and the Special Court for Sierra Leone, which has already led to a number of arrests worldwide

Bug Reporting
1. How do I report a bug?
You can report a bug by clicking here.
When filling out the Bug Report form, please make sure you provide as much detail as you can. This will help us find the bug and fix it as soon as possible. Once we receive the form, a member of the Jagex staff will investigate it. Please note that Jagex does not give rewards to players that report bugs and we cannot guarantee we will reply to every bug report.
You should only report a bug if you have witnessed it yourself, not if you have been told about it by a friend or read about it on the forums.
A report should include as much detailed information as possible to help us reproduce the bug. A simple fact such as what game and level you were playing or what keys you were pressing can be the difference between a bug appearing or not.
An example on an unhelpful report would be as follows: 'I can't complete level two.'
A better report would elaborate on this: 'I can't complete level two of Crazy Crystals because the four boulders stacked on top of each other won't move, even when I push them, so I can't reach the last few crystals.'
The only things that you should use the Bug Report form for are bugs within the games or on the website. Any billing issues, technical support or feedback on advertisements should be dealt with through these respective links: Billing, Technical, Advertising.
If you cannot find a solution to your problem at this stage, then please contact the corresponding department for further help. We will disregard any bug reports that are not strictly bug related. For more information on what a bug is, please read question 3, below.
2. What do I do if I see someone using a bug to gain an unfair advantage?
If you witness someone using a bug to gain an unfair advantage, please report the bug to us by clicking here. We can then investigate and take appropriate action on the bug and any players abusing it. Please note that Jagex cannot guarantee a reply to every bug report.
3. What is a bug?
A bug is an error in the coding of a game that affects the way it runs. We consider a bug to be any piece of broken code that stops a game working as it should, e.g. your character not being able to jump in a platform game.
If you think you have found a bug you can report it by clicking here. If you find you can gain an unfair advantage by replicating the bug, please do not abuse it. Bug abuse is against the rules and players caught abusing bugs will be banned.
4. What is bug abuse?
Bug abuse is when a player has found a bug in one of our games and is exploiting it for personal gain. When a bug has been found and can be reproduced to gain an unfair advantage, please send in report by clicking here.
Please note that bug abuse is against FunOrb rules. Please see theRules of Conduct for more information. Appropriate action will be taken against any player caught abusing bugs to gain an unfair advantage.
5. When should I report a bug?
Do not submit a bug report if you simply need to contact Jagex.
Also, do not send in bug reports if you are simply stuck in a FunOrb game. Try taking a break from the game and coming back to it later. Alternatively, try asking for advice and hints from other players on the forums.
Only submit a bug report if you are sure you have tried all other options.
Jagex will take action against any player found abusing the bug reporting system.

According to an article in the Army Times, the
so-called 'ethical robots' would follow international laws.
Ronald Arkin, from the Mobile Robot Laboratory at the Georgia

the determined level of guilt, and the mission being carried out, the

robots could also be used to monitor soldiers to ensure international

Well, it looks like it's the end of the
road for any hopes of Adobe Flash on Apple's iPhone OS-based devices
(iPhone, iPod touch, iPad). Although Steve Jobs has long since put
his foot down regarding the matter, Adobe still held out hope that
Jobs would change his mind.
However, those hopes were dashed
earlier this month when Apple's iPhone OS 4.0 SDK banned
the use of unapproved programming languages (including Adobe
Flash). The move by Apple prompted
some rather colorful language from Adobe Platform Evangelist Lee
Steve Jobs poured
more salt on the wounds yesterday with an open letter that
basically said that Adobe Flash's time has come and gone. "Flash
is a successful business for Adobe, and we can understand why they
want to push it beyond PCs," said Jobs "But the mobile era
is about low power devices, touch interfaces and open web standards –
all areas where Flash falls short."
It appears that Adobe has gotten the
hint, and is now officially dropping its plans to push Flash Player
onto the iPhone OS platform. Adobe CTO Kevin Lynch posted
a response to Steve Jobs' rant -- Adobe's President and CEO made
comments as well -- and still feels that Adobe could provide a
"terrific experience" on the iPhone and iPad. However, the
writing is on the wall and Lynch says that Adobe is shifting its
energies to other mobile platforms.
"We have already decided to shift our
focus away from Apple devices for both Flash Player and AIR,"
said Lynch. "We are working to bring Flash Player and AIR to all
the other major participants in the mobile ecosystem, including
Google, RIM, Palm (soon to be HP), Microsoft, Nokia and others."
Lynch also said that there will be a
public preview of Flash Player 10.1 for Android devices in May and
that a full release will come the following month.

Much of that changed when AMD acquired ATI last year. Not only did ATI miss the Radeon HD 2900 launch window by almost six months, but NVIDIA's high-end GeForce 8800 became the undisputed ultra-high-end GPU as well.
The one thing that didn't change on G92 is the process node. NVIDIA's foundry partner, TSMC, forwarded a second memo to DailyTech confirming G92 is in mass production at the company's Fab 12 with samples available now on 65nm process node. NVIDIA's GeForce 8500 and GeForce 8600 are manufactured on TSMC's 80nm node; GeForce 8800 GT will be the company's first 65nm graphics processor.
NVIDIA guidance suggests G92 will be here next month, followed by AMD's marketing blitz for RV670, RD790 and Phenom. All three AMD offerings are expected to launch on the same day, which AMD distributors have penciled in for late November. Intel is expected to launch its 45nm Penryn processors on November 12, and any NVIDIA launch will likely coincide with that announcement.
Late last week, Maximum PC reported that NVIDIA senior vice president Dan Vivoli commented that NVIDIA would be releasing new hardware to go
along with the upcoming title Crysis. The confirmed launch date by Electronic Arts for Crysis is November 15, 2007.
However, G92 fans might get a quick preview of the new GPU on October 29, 2007, when the company officially lifts the embargo on 8800 GT.
Neither AMD nor NVIDIA have released "firm" pricing for the products, though we can reasonably infer several key points regarding the price. Since RV670 is effectively a smaller R600, performance will be very similar to existing R600-based cards on the market today. However, since the card only utilizes a single-slot cooler and a considerably smaller die, the cost of these cards should be lower than existing R600s.
G92, which was originally called GeForce 8700 until just last week, has a soft suggested retail price of $250, according to NVIDIA board partners. Since the GeForce 8800 GT will be launching first, it's fairly likely that AMD will adjust the suggested price of RV670 depending on the outcome of initial GeForce 8800 GT feedback.
