A STUDENT is behind bars after he refused to hand over his computer password – despite a judge saying it was in the interests of national security.
Computer science student Christopher Wilson came to the attention of the authorities when a university vice-chancellor received an e-mail containing gun death threats, Northumbria Police computer systems were hacked and plans to infiltrate the Serious Organised Crime Agency's secret files were uncovered.
The 22-year-old, who has Asperger's syndrome, refused police requests to hand over passwords to allow access to his computer and detectives made a special application to Crown Court judge Roger Thorn QC forcing him to do so.
But Newcastle Crown Court heard Wilson refused to give the authorities the access they demanded, and provided them with more than 50 fake passwords.
Jailing him for six months, Judge Simon Hickey told him: "Despite numerous attempts by the authorities to obtain passwords from you in order to investigate, what you did was evade giving any details. Police asked you time and again, served you with a notice and you still did not give them the password."
Wilson, of Mitford Close, Washington, had admitted failing to disclose a password in breach of Regulatory Investigatory Powers Act 2000.
The offence, under anti-terrorist legislation, carries a maximum sentence of five years behind bars.
Prosecutor Neil Pallister told the court it was in October 2012 when the vice-chancellor of Newcastle University received an e-mail saying a gunman would kill university staff. The user name of the sender was Catch-22 and led police to Northumbria University student Wilson, who denied making any such threats.
Officers seized his computer but were unable to access it due to the sophisticated password protection installed.
The court heard investigations linked the university threat to a call made to Northumbria Police, warning that their computer systems were about to be bombarded and brought down.
The police website did come under an eight-minute attack, which brought the system to a standstill for four minutes and caused hours of chaos.
The warning call made to the force came from a Skype account registered to Wilson, who was re-arrested in January last year and had his laptop and telephone seized.
He admitted making the call, using a voice-changing device but denied he was responsible for the cyber attack.
Wilson's devices contained messages boasting "nobody cares about hacking, there are real criminals to deal with" and contained plans to obtain passwords for the Serious Organised Crime Agency and university files.
One message said: "I am committing a serious organised crime".
Mr Pallister added: "Effectively, the crown's case is, the only appropriate inference to draw from the defendant's refusal to disclose the password to allow access to the computer is it would have revealed activity of the type mentioned in the messaging, namely hacking of police, Serious Organised Crime Agency and university websites."

The SN75207B is a terminal-for-terminal replacement for the SN75107B. The improved input sensitivity makes it more suitable for MOS memory sense amplifiers and can result in faster memory cycles. Improved sensitivity also makes it more useful in line-receiver applications by allowing use of longer transmission line lengths. The SN75207B features a TTL-compatible, active-pullup output.
Input protection diodes are in series with the collectors of the differential-input transistors of the SN75207B. These diodes are useful in certain party-line systems that may have multiple VCC+ power supplies and may be operated with some of the VCC+ supplies turned off. In such a system, if a supply is turned off and allowed to go to ground, the equivalent input circuit connected to that supply would be as follows:
This would be a problem in specific systems that might have the transmission lines biased to some potential greater than 1.4 V.
This device is characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C.

Picking Investments On Two Fronts
German Vote, Revaluation Of Yuan Offer Opportunities In Buy-and-Hold Stocks
PARIS -- Last Thursday, two seminal events took place: China revalued its yuan by 2.1%, and Germany's president gave the go-ahead to early national elections to be held on Sept. 18.
The Chinese announcement was a surprise, the German one was expected. One was a financial event with long-term political consequences, the other a short-term event with potential long-term economic significance. Both, in the end, are good news for stock markets, especially for buy-and-hold investors with patience....

- Ap2010
- 5 years ago
Has anyone heard about the interpersonal communications major. I took a interpersonal communication class at one of my colleges and I'm sort of considering going into interpersonal communication as a major.
Has anyone heard about the interpersonal communications major. I took a interpersonal communication class at one of my colleges and I'm sort of considering going into interpersonal communication as a major.
Unless you have a specific job in mind that will use those skills (like therapist, conflict resolution, etc) then I would take those classes as an addition to another major. I only say this because I had a lot of friends who did some sort of comm major and it didn't really help them out. None of them use their degree and we are just 5 years post graduation.
Ap2010: As the pp just said, what career goals do you have that you think these courses would lead to? There are so many graduates out there without any job skills.
It used to be that you could take all sorts of courses that interested you in university and get a job when you graduated just because you have a degree. That is no longer the case. Employers want someone who is job ready.
I thought it might be cool to maybe be a interpersonal communication teacher because I love learning about family relationship and friendships and I thought it might be cool.
I just hired a summer intern who's a conflict analysis major, which I think is in the same vein. There are drawbacks here. 1, it's a very, very new major. Older hiring managers are not going to know what to make of it. I hardly knew what to make of it when the intern approached our mediation office; I'd never heard of it! 2, if you want a job, don't major in what you like, major in what you don't hate that's in demand in the market. Talk to the people in the major at the school(s) you're eyeing; what are they doing? What do they want to do? Do they have internships? Externships? Are there recent graduates you can talk to (like within the last 2 years)? What are they doing? Are they working in a related field? Are they in grad school, and how necessary will grad school be? 3, if there are grad school requirements, know your options. That field lends itself well to law, but law school is a real raw deal right now, if you even want to pursue more school. Know your options after graduation.
I wouldn't say don't do it, but I would say think carefully about where you're going to end up with a major like that.
A couple of weeks ago you wanted to major in social media, so it sounds like you don't have a 100% clear idea of what you want to do. If you haven't started college yet, I would pick a school that offers a wide variety of majors and take some general education classes in your first year or so to figure out what you're interested in.
Ap2010: My older sister's degrees are in Communication and she works in Marketing and PR. She does very well financially. She did internships while in undergrad that were more typical for telecommunication/mass media students even though they weren't her exact interests and that opened professional doors for her.
I think if you are interested in interpersonal communication you should research programs. I see you said that you were considering teaching. Do you mean high school or college? If college look on sites like The Chronicle for Higher Education or Highered jobs to learn about what it takes to get hired in the field. Figure out what other job options are available in case you can't immediately get the teaching job you want after graduation. Figure out how much education will be required to reach your goal. Find out if funding is available or if you will have to take out loans. Be as prepared and knowledgeable as possible!
Many people come down hard on liberal arts degrees but long-term studies show that statistically job outcomes and satisfaction are similar to professional programs. There are still a lot of advantages to the solid analytical, research and communication skills required to excel in the arts. They are transferrable skills that can translate into a wide array of fields. I think developing a solid plan with your professional goals in mind, rather than haphazardly going through school with no plan beyond graduating makes a big difference.
The topic 'Interpersonal communications major' is closed to new replies.

Warren County prosecutors announced today that former Warren County sheriff Edward G. Bullock has been indicted on charges of sexually assaulting a boy in the 1980s. It wasn't Bullock's first legal trouble. Here's a timeline of key events leading up to the indictment:
May 1982: Bullock, then 51 and an undersheriff with the Warren County Sheriff's Office, is appointed sheriff after the resignation of fellow Republican Kenneth Gaylord. Bullock won a special election later that year to continue in the post. He'd go on to win re-election several more times.
November 1991: Bullock abruptly resigns from the sheriff post, just two weeks after being re-elected to a fourth term in office. Bullock says the resignation was because of stress.
March 1992: Bullock pleads guilty to a charge of official misconduct in connection with a sex sting. New Jersey State Police ran the sting after the New Jersey Attorney General's Office received a citizen complaint. Bullock admits to trying to curry sexual favor from a state trooper posing as a 17-year-old boy. A judge the following month sentences him to three years in prison. He's paroled after nine months.
May 1993: Attorney John J. Coyle Jr. seeks a court order compelling authorities to turn over files on their investigation into Bullock. Coyle claims in court records that he had information that Bullock would sometimes take juveniles from the Warren Acres detention facility on a furlough for unspecified periods of time. A judge later denies access to those files.
January 2013: The Warren County Prosecutor's Office announces it has opened a criminal investigation into Bullock but declines to give details about the investigation.
April 2013: Attorney Brad Russo files a lawsuit against Bullock, Warren County and others on behalf of his client, a 36-year-old man who claims Bullock repeatedly molested him in the 1980s while county employees turned a blind eye. The plaintiff was between the ages of 8 and 11 at the time of the assaults, the suit alleges.
September 2013: Russo requests that the Warren County Prosecutor's Office turn its criminal investigation into Bullock over to the New Jersey Attorney General's Office, citing a conflict of interest.
March 2014: The Warren County Prosecutor's Office announces Bullock has been indicted on six counts of sexual assault dating to the late 1980s. Bullock, who now lives in Ocean County and turns 85 next week, is not yet in custody; his attorney is arranging his surrender.

Proven Defense for DUI Cases in Forsyth County
Auto accidents involving alcohol are responsible for thousands of injuries and deaths annually.

Learn More About Georgia's Drunk Driving Laws
GA DUI Laws
Drivers in Georgia are prohibited from operating a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of .08% or more. The laws addressing DUI call for serious penalties to be levied in the event of a conviction, even for first-time offenders. These penalties increase exponentially for multiple DUI convictions, or offenses that involve an "aggravating" factor, such as an injury accident.
10 Day Warning Rule
If you have been arrested for DUI in our state, and have either tested over the .08% legal limit, or refused to submit to chemical testing, you have only 10 business days to notify the Georgia Department of Driver Services that you will be appealing the planned suspension of your Georgia drivers' license or the planned suspension of your ability to drive in the state.
Multiple DUI
Multiple DUI convictions can result in a person facing increased penalties. Any person who is arrested for a fourth (or higher) offense will face felony charges that can carry penalties including $5,000 in fines, 60 days of community service, mandatory enrollment in an alcohol treatment program, and up to 5 years in jail.
DUI with Injury
If you are driving while under the influence causes an accident that results in injury, your DUI offense becomes a felony, and you can face penalties that include large fines, restitution to the victim(s), and even time in state prison. You may also be hit with personal injury lawsuits from the injured party or the injured party's loved ones.
Leaving the Scene
If you have been in an auto accident, you are required by law to stop and provide aid (if possible), as well as give your information to law enforcement and the other individuals involved in the accident. If you fail to do this, you can be charged with hit-and-run, which becomes a felony offense when the accident has resulted in death or injury.
Breath & Blood Tests
Breath and blood tests are designed to measure the amount of alcohol in a person's bloodstream. They are administered during or after DUI stops to establish whether or not an individual was driving over the legal limit, which is .08%. Refusal to take a breath or blood test can result in the suspension of one's drivers' license or one's ability to drive within state lines.
BAC stands for "blood alcohol content," which is the amount of alcohol that a person has in their bloodstream. In our state, it is illegal to operate a motor vehicle with a BAC that is higher than .08%. Currently, BAC can be measured by law enforcement in three different ways: a breath test, a blood test, or urine test.
Suspended Licenses
If you are arrested for DUI, it is possible that you will have your license suspended. License suspension can be included in your punishment if you are convicted, or it can occur if you refuse to take a breath test at your DUI stop. It is possible for you to schedule a hearing with the Georgia Department of Driver Services in order to appeal your suspension.
Less Safe
There are two types of DUI violations that you can face in our state: "Per se" and "less safe." If you are charged with a "less safe" violation, prosecutors must be able to prove that you were a less safe driver as a result of your intoxication in order to obtain a conviction.
Sobriety Checkpoints
Sobriety checkpoints are essentially "roadblocks" created by law enforcement in order to catch drivers who are driving while under the influence. These checkpoints are usually set up late at night or very early in the morning. If you have been arrested after being accused of DUI at such a checkpoint, it is recommended that you contact an attorney, as there is a chance that your rights have been violated.
BUI stands for "boating under the influence," and refers to the crime of operating a boat while possessing a BAC that is over the legal limit. As BUI is considered very similar to DUI, many of the same penalties can be applied in the event of a conviction, including fines, mandatory rehabilitation classes, and jail time.
Traffic Offenses
In addition to DUI, there are many traffic offenses that can result in the imposition of serious penalties, including reckless driving, speeding, hit and run, aggressive driving, driving without insurance, driving with a suspended license, following too closely, failure to yield, and passing a stopped school bus.
Why You Need a Cumming DUI Attorney
Unlike many other criminal offenses, the laws regarding DUI sometimes seem to be written in a way that facilitates convictions. It takes vigorous defense in a DUI case
to clear a defendant of wrongdoing. If you have been arrested for DUI, you do not want to face your charges alone, as you may not have a strong chance of success. You will want to retain an experienced attorney who can utilize effective defense tactics in court in an effort to obtain the reduction or elimination of your charges.
The range of consequences for each successive DUI charge is laid out below.
Penalties for 1st DUI:
If you are convicted of the DUI charge, and it is your first offense, then you will be subject to all of the following as part of your sentence:
- A fine of $300 - $1,000.
- Imprisonment for 10 days to 12 months. If your blood alcohol concentration was 0.08 grams or more at the time of the offense, then you'll have to serve at least 24 hours of that sentence in prison. Otherwise, judges may suspend or probate the sentence.
- Community service of 20 hours (where the BAC was less than 0.08 at the time of the offense) or 40 hours or more (for all others).
- Completion of a DUI Alcohol or Drug Use Risk Reduction Program.
- A clinical evaluation, and, if recommended, completion of a substance abuse treatment program (although the judge has some leeway to suspend this requirement).
Penalties for 2nd DUI:
The State of Georgia now looks back at your criminal record over the preceding ten years to determine how many DUI convictions you have incurred. If you have had a previous DUI in the 10-year period before your 2nd DUI arrest, your minimum punishments are greatly enhanced. Second-offense DUI convictions now carry:
- A fine between $600 and $1,000.
- Jail time - at least 90 days, not to exceed 12 months. Although the judge can order probation
- In lieu of the full sentence for up to a total of twelve months, you'll have to serve at least 72 hours of your sentence in prison.
- At least 30 days of community service.
- Completion of a DUI Alcohol or Drug Use Risk Reduction Program.
- Clinical evaluation and, if recommended, a substance abuse treatment program.
If that weren't enough, a public notice of your conviction will be printed in the newspaper, along with your booking photograph, and you have to pay $25 to cover the cost of that notice.
Penalties for 3rd DUI:
In Georgia, a 3rd DUI offense in a 10-year period is treated as a misdemeanor of a high and aggravated nature. If you are convicted of a 3rd DUI, Georgia courts are required to sentence you to a minimum of:
- A fine of $1,000 to $5,000.
- Imprisonment of at least 120 days, not to exceed 12 months. As with a second offense, the judge can order probation in lieu of a portion of this sentence, but a convicted defendant will have to serve at least fifteen days in prison.
- At least 30 days of community service.
- Completion of a DUI Alcohol or Drug Use Risk Reduction Program.
- A clinical evaluation and, if recommended by the person conducting that evaluation, completion of a substance abuse treatment program.
Additionally, the notice and booking photograph requirement of a second offense apply to third-offense convictions.
Penalties for 4th Offense: FELONY DUI
If you are charged with and convicted of a 4th DUI, in a 10-year period of time, you are now facing felony punishments under Georgia law. Those punishments are:
- A fine of $1,000 - $5,000.
- Imprisonment of one to five years; the judge may probate a portion of that sentence, but you'll have to serve at least 90 days in jail.
- At least sixty days of community service (although the judge may suspend this requirement if you are sentenced to three or more years in jail).
- Completion of a DUI Alcohol or Drug Use Risk Reduction Program.
- Clinical evaluation and, if recommended, completion of a substance abuse treatment program.
As with all DUI convictions, felony DUI means that a notice of your conviction will be published, along with your booking photograph, and that you will bear the $25 cost of that notice. This is in addition to whatever fine is assessed against you as part of the punishment.
Contact a Cumming DUI attorney if you need professional legal defense against your DUI charges.

Plenty of games based on comic-book licenses make their way onto store shelves, but most are tied to movie licenses and few offer any innovation. There are dozens of great comic-book properties worthy of an interactive experience. Sometimes it's enough to retread an old idea with a fresh license, but more often than not its innovation that drives our desire to see these games made.
Initially some 50 game ideas crowded the IGN Comics chalkboard. After much argument, several non-alcoholic beers and one pie fight, we wound up with a satisfactory list of our 10 Most Wanted Comic-Book Videogames. Should any of these games make it to reality, we'd be happy campers indeed.
Of course, everyone has a different opinion, even you. Write in and voice your displeasure and give us your suggestions for comic-book licenses that should be made into games.
|The Goon
Eric Powell's comical adventures of one man's war against the undead would not only help fill the quota or zombie games, but could prove to be a refreshing take on the genre. With AI-controlled sidekick Franky at his side, the Goon clobbers zombies and ghouls with his typical slapstick aplomb. Thanks to liberal use of humor, gamers would enjoy an open city constantly under siege by the undead. Along with story-based missions, random events based on time of day and location would make each gaming experience unique.

|Crisis on Infinite Earths RPG
DC's most memorable event would make for an earth-shattering role-playing game. Worlds will die and gamers can experience it all with unfortunate witness Pariah narrating the tale. As the story progresses, players will jump from world to world, experiencing the unique differences of DC's many universes. The only problem is that those universes keep dying. Only a valiant stand by the world's greatest heroes can possibly save the one true Earth.

The hottest magician in comics could prove to be one of the more innovative comic-book games ever. Zatanna's powers come from her fishnet stockings. Errr, that is, she casts spells by speaking words backwards. Using a mic, players unleash Zatanna's powerful magics by talking backwards themselves. As Zatanna learns greater spells, the tongue-twisting task of saying things backwards becomes more difficult. Added pressure comes from having to maneuver Zatanna while fumbling with spells. It's like Seaman, only with magic, a beautiful girl and a DC license.

|Groo the Wanderer
More high-comedy can be enjoyed with the lovable adventures of Sergio Aragones' Groo the Wanderer. A barbarian with more might than brains, Groo is constantly blundering his ways into causing destruction and mayhem. Though well-intentioned, the Conan spoof is a walking disaster. With dog Rufferto at his side, Groo travels from one mischief to the next, engaging in brilliant sword-battles against massive armies, slaughtering those on both sides.
Likelihood of Happening: 20%
|Lone Wolf & Cub
To be fair, several videogames have used Lone Wolf & Cub as a springboard for creation. However, this would be an adventure trilogy based closely on the long-running manga. As the disgraced Ogami Itto journeys with his young son through fuedel Japan, players must master realistic sword combat and explore cities to uncover the dark part of Itto. The trilogy concludes as the manga, with Itto finally gaining his revenge against the Yagyu Clan.

I hope that you will give this dairy and gluten free stuffing with sausage and mushrooms a try. Of course if you don't enjoy sausage or mushrooms this stuffing would still be great as a "plain" version.
Dairy & Gluten Free Sausage & Mushroom Stuffing
1 lb dairy & gluten free bread (I used Udi's)
1 lb sage sausage (I used Jimmy Dean)
2 c onions, chopped
1 1/2 c celery, sliced
8 oz mushrooms, sliced
2 sticks dairy free "butter"
2 c chicken broth
3/4 tsp dry poultry seasoning
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp seasoned salt
1/4 tsp dry ground sage
1/4 tsp dry thyme, rubbed
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 eggs
In a 350 F oven dry the bread until completely dried and lightly toasted.
Allow to cool then cube the bread into small pieces.
Set aside the dried toasted bread in a large bowl.
In a large skillet begin to brown and crumble the sausage.
Add one stick of the "butter", onions and celery and continue to cook until the onions are almost tender.
Add the mushrooms and cook until the onions are tender.
Set the cooked sausage and vegetables aside.
In a saucepan warm the chicken broth, one stick of "butter", and seasonings.
Take the enriched broth off the heat and whisk in the eggs.
Add the sausage, vegetables, and broth to the bread.
Stir to combine.
Place the stuffing mixture into a 9x13 lightly greased glass baking dish.
Cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes.
Remove the foil and continue to bake until the top is browned and crispy - about 15 minutes.

New Year's Eve in Sausalito & SF Midnight Fireworks Views
Date: Sunday, December 31, 2017
Time: San Francisco Fireworks start at Midnight. The show usually lasts for about 15 minutes.
Place: Fireworks are set off from a barge about a hundred yards (90 meters) off the shore of the Embarcadero in San Francisco. Best viewing from southern Sausalito shore areas and from Sausalito view restaurants.
Sausalito View Restaurants & Special Music Performances on New Year's Eve
Each year in San Francisco about 200,000 people crowd the Embarcadero south of the Ferry Building to watch midnight fireworks usher in the New Year. The best viewing spots in The City are between Mission St. and Folsom St.
Fog willing, you can get a distant view of the show from Sausalito without suffering in traffic and fighting to find someplace to park, although you miss the booming soundtrack from big speakers along the Embarcadero.
The best viewing spots are along the Bridgeway Promenade and on the southern Sausalito Boardwalk in Old Town. The area at the Sausalito Ferry Pier is also a good choice.
If you want to enjoy a glass of champagne while you watch the fireworks (assuming the fog cooperates) several of the "big view" Sausalito restaurants are staying open late. Some dining rooms have special menus and seating times and many stop serving their full menu at 10:00 PM or earlier, so be sure to call ahead for reservations and more information.
We did a phone survey of the best-known Sausalito view restaurants and have a list of who's open below, but there are many more places on our Best Sausalito Restaurant Views list that you can also check out. Consider this list to be "the tip of the iceberg."
We've also listed several places that are hosting special musical performances for New Year's Eve.
Barrel House — Last call for meals is at 10:00 but the bar will remain open.
Farley Bar — Open, with restricted bar menu for food. Their front porch is a great viewing spot on a clear night.
Murray Circle — Special tasting menu dinner with two seatings, reservations required.
The No Name Bar — Not a view restaurant, but seminal Sausalito musician Joe Tate & Blue Monday Band will be playing on New Year's Eve.
Osteria Divino — Not a view restaurant, but Chuchito Valdés (son of the legendary Chucho Valdés) and Sulkary Valverde are playing a special event. Two seatings, call for reservations.
Presidio Yacht Club — Special New Years Event, call for reservations.
Sausalito Seahorse — Not a view restaurant, but Cole Tate and the Marinfidels are playing a special event.
Scomas — Normal schedule, closes before midnight.
The Spinnaker — Open till after midnight, thopugh kitchen may close earlier.
The Trident — They have a special New Year's event, and reservations are required.
Important Note: There is no free rides home program in Sausalito this year. Please call a taxi, Uber, Lyft or a friend so you get home safely and please don't risk your life or the lives of others.

Comments about American Meadows Haskap Berry Borealis - Female Plant:
Received the plant i think too early in the spring, but planted it outside as directed. never showed any signs of growth. waited a month plus, pulled them up and through them away.
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.

Saffron, the orange-yellow color of a precious spice, stands for courage, sacrifice and renunciation. White means pure thought, peace and truth, while green symbolizes fertility, faith and the Indian culture.
The Indian flag's colors are arranged in three horizontal stripes. The Ashoka chakra is found in the center of the white stripe. This chakra, or energy center, features a wheel with 24 spokes representing the 24 hours of the day, as well as righteousness and never-ending progress. The wheel is blue, symbolizing the ocean and the sky.
The flag of India was adopted on July 22, 1947 upon India's independence from Great Britain.

01:30 PM to 02:45 PM TR
Planetary Hall (formerly Science & Tech I) 224
Section Information for Fall 2017
How did "Latin America" become "Latin America"? And what is that, anyway? This class traces the stories that shaped what today we call Latin America. We will explore the encounters that determined the course of history and demographics in the region—encounters among first peoples, as well as between these peoples, Europeans, and African and Afro-descended slaves. Our exploration will focus on the issues of identity, race, gender, sexuality, faith, and social relations generated by these encounters and by the centuries of Spanish, French, and Portuguese colonial regimes. Based on readings of primary documents from the period, students will seek to answer the following questions, among others: What kinds of societies preceded European contact in the Americas? How did these societies respond to the arrival of Europeans? Who were the Europeans who arrived in the "new" world? How did they react to what they found there, and why? What were the religious, economical, ethical, and sociological forces that shaped evolving colonial societies? How should we conceive of "the Conquest" of the Americas? What did the collision of Africans, Europeans, and first peoples in the Americas mean for the gender, racial, and class identities of the individuals and groups involved? How did the "conquered" relate to their "conquerors," and vice-versa, over time? What led to the changes in colonial regimes and to various kinds of rebellion that emerged throughout the colonial period?

Liberalization? It's Good For Them, But Not Us
Should foreign law firms be allowed into India?
No, says Cyril Shroff, Managing Partner of Amarchand Mangaldas, one of India's largest law firms.
Amarchand and other large Indian law firms have benefited immensely from liberalization in India. However, when it comes to opening up the legal sector, here's Mr Shroff touting shibboleths like a good old protectionist from India's socialist past. Unfortunately enough, Shroff's self-serving arguments have a pedigree in India. They spring from the same well as Rahul Bajaj's Bombay Club, or its older cousin, the Bombay Plan, and to that extent are somewhat predictable.
Shroff's hypocrisy is galling. However, in my opinion, even more appalling is the mediocrity of the writing and the flimsiness of Shroff's arguments — blanket claims not backed up by any evidence, non-sequiturs galore and a lack of logical coherence. Is this really one of India's best legal minds?
For instance, take this piece of bombast, "the law ministry's proposal in its current form cannot be accepted". Ummm… this proposal cannot be accepted by whom, exactly? Not to be too snarky but the mushy, vague pabulum which characterizes the entire article would fit well here.
Or the "national interest" line that Shroff trots out several times in his essay, almost like a mantra. One wishes that Shroff took the trouble to spell out exactly why the entry of foreign law firms is inimical to India's national interest.
The tour de force might well be Shroff's claim that "the sole pressure (behind foreign law firms' interest) is that of a lucrative market and market access. Nothing else."
I'm shocked. Shocked! Those greedy, money-grubbing foreign *#$% lawyers! Of course the foreign firms in other sectors that are making a beeline for India are not really interested in market access or such like. Not as long as they keep paying big fees to Amarchand Mangaldas' and their legal brethren, I presume.
Scour the article closely and you'll notice that one constituency Shroff hardly mentions are clients, which is telling. Why doesn't Shroff bother discussing what consumers want, and whether the entry of foreign law firms is in their best interests. After all, that's the litmus test, isn't it? But nope. Shroff takes it upon himself to declare that there is no pressing need to permit the entry of foreign firms.
When it comes to his next essay, I suggest that Shroff take a page or two from Bastiat. At least, we'll have something to laugh about.
The original article isn't accessible on the Business Standard web site , thanks to linkrot. I've reproduced Shroff's article in full after the fold (emphasis mine).
The liberalisation of the legal service sector is undesirable at this point in time.
The pressure from overseas to open up the legal service sector to foreign law firms has mounted recently. Much debate and speculation now surrounds the subject with the law ministry being tentatively inclined to favour the liberalisation of the legal service sector. However, the majority of Indian law firms are strongly opposed to the proposal to open up the area. There are also issues of national interest that must be considered before proceeding to liberalise the sector.
The proposal to open up the legal service sector is premature. The extensive debate and consultation that should have preceded such a move has yet to take place. An expert body needs to examine it. This is a matter that will affect not just the legal profession but also the nation at large. The industry players must be consulted and engaged in a meaningful way. Any decision-making process should also occur within the framework of the WTO and GATS negotiations, especially since India has not included legal services in its current offer in the WTO and GATS negotiations. That is to say, the decision cannot be made in a unilateral or bilateral process but only through the designated multilateral process. Moreover, the proposals of two Joint Economic and Trade Committees are yet to be considered. The issue is also before the Bombay High Court and a decision as to whether foreign law firms are permitted to practise law in India is impending. The final outcome of this case must be awaited before proceeding in any way.
Further, in relative terms, Indian law firms are at a nascent stage of development. They are practising the "profession and cottage industry of law" in comparison with the proportions that foreign law firms have assumed in their practice of the "business of law". As matters stand today, Indian law firms have a disadvantage in matching the sheer organisational magnitude and financial means that foreign firms command because of history and because Indian firms are subject to various restrictions. Indian law firms are not permitted to organise themselves in any form other than an unlimited partnership. They cannot have more than 20 partners and cannot advertise or raise capital. Even assuming that the proposed Limited Liability Partnership Act will permit law firms to take the form of limited liability partnerships (LLPs), the migration to this form from a partnership needs to be recognised by the professional authorities and besides, such migration has enormous tax implications, thus making the option unattractive.
Foreign firms, on the other hand, are not encumbered by such limitations. Therefore, the regulatory status quo with regard to Indian firms cannot remain and the creation of a level playing field is the need of the hour. Liberalisation without first putting Indian firms on an equal footing will be unfair and will put them at a competitive disadvantage. Creating a level playing field is a precondition to moving further. No sector in India has been opened up with the regulatory framework loaded heavily against the local players. Why the legal field?
Besides being prejudicial to the interests of the Indian legal profession, liberalisation also has important implications for the nation. The legal profession is instrumental to the administration of justice. To permit foreign lawyers to encroach on this extremely important aspect of a democracy could be contrary to public interest. There is no pressing need to permit the entry of foreign firms. If better advice on foreign law is an argument in favour of liberalisation, it is important to note that whenever clients in India have required advice on foreign law, Indian firms have always found a way to liaise with foreign firms to bridge the hiatus on a reciprocal basis. A symbiotic system of co-existence that has succeeded in meeting every need of a client has always been in place. This system has worked well for decades and there is no reason why it will not work in the future. If the credentials of Indian firms in adequately servicing their clients in every area of law and every aspect of their transactions are in doubt, one can look at the fact that the offshoring of legal work to India is burgeoning, and this bears sterling testimony to the capabilities of Indian firms. There is an inconsistency in the government's argument.
If the liberalisation of the legal service sector is unavoidable, it should be done in a gradual and phased manner. Robust safeguards must be put in place to protect the interests of Indian firms at every stage and particularly during the period of transition. Foreign firms should be permitted to engage in the non-contentious practice of foreign law alone and should not be permitted to hire local lawyers. The device of surrogate firms must be carefully monitored and prevented. Foreign law firms should also be subject to the same regulatory regime as Indian law firms and the Bar Council should wield the same control on them as on Indian firms. The law ministry's proposal to regulate foreign lawyers directly rather than through the Bar Council is conceptually unsound. How can there be two systems? There can only be one.
A similar gradual process of liberalisation has been followed in Japan, which took 20 years to completely liberalise its legal service sector. China is following suit in a similar manner and so is Korea. In fact, English firms had protested loudly when the Americans entered London. Why do they sing a different tune when they go abroad themselves? Most of the states in the US permit foreign lawyers to practise only on the most stringent conditions still. In the light of this global experience, even if liberalisation is a necessary evil, there is no need to rush the process without full consideration. Only India seems to be rushing ahead without following due process. Why?
In conclusion, the liberalisation of the legal service sector is undesirable at this point in time. The law ministry's proposal in its current form cannot be accepted. Moreover, there are issues of process and national interest to be taken into consideration. There is no pressing need to liberalise the sector. Who except the foreign firms have asked for this? No matter what course adopted for liberalisation, the fact that a flourishing Indian legal profession is crucial to the economic, social and political well-being of the country should not be forgotten. The interests of Indian law firms should not be compromised. The vision of the profession must necessarily include independent Indian firms as well and the conditions to enable it must first be created. But that requires a lot more vision and empathy for the Indian bar.

Recent Work: Kayla Adams
Late this summer, I wrapped up a re-brand for the uber talented, Kayla Adams. Kayla took photos of my office for my new site, so we traded services, after she asked for help re-designing her logo. Sometimes it's really hard to design for yourself, but sometimes I'm hesitant designing for other designers. Knowing Kayla personally, and her work, really helped. I was able to take her style and work with her in mind the entire time. She's also in the process of updating her site to match her new brand and I can't wait to see it live!

How do you fight a chainsaw?
In one way or another, that's the question 25 communities nationwide are asking as they await with trepidation the edict of Albert Dunlap.
The corporate pruner, proudly known as "Chainsaw," has a reputation as one of America's most aggressive trimmers of organizational "fat." In July, he became the chairman of Sunbeam Corp., a Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.-based company better known for blenders and irons than gas-powered saws.
Almost immediately, Mr. Dunlap began preparations for the first rip cuts. He said the appliancemaker had too many factories and too many products. He hired a large accounting firm to prepare a report on each facility. Next week, he is expected to announce what factories he will close and how many of the company's 12,000 employees will still have jobs.
To many shareholders, Dunlap is a hero, boosting stock prices and leaving a lean corporate structure in his wake. But for many mayors and workers, his scorched-earth methods evoke apprehension.
At Scott Paper Company, now based in Boca Raton, Fla., Dunlap fired 11,200 workers, about 35 percent of the work force. At Lily-Tulip Company, a paper products firm in Toledo, Ohio, he unloaded 50 percent of the headquarters staff and 20 percent of the workers. At Crown-Zellerbach, a forest products company in San Francisco, Calif., he lopped off 30 percent of the administrative staff.
Dunlap maintains that his actions are necessary to save the company. In his recent book, "Mean Business," he says, "When I fire people, of course, I feel for them! But what I keep uppermost in my mind is that if I don't release them today, I'm going to have to cut more of them in six months or a year anyway." And, cut them, he does. He says, "My philosophy is to err on the side of too much. Too many asset sales, too many layoffs."
While he has been called Chainsaw, and the Shredder, Dunlap is most proud of the rubric "Rambo in Pinstripes." He says a rising stock price proves his case. In Sunbeam's case, the stock surged 30 percent after it was announced he was hired.
That philosophy has a lot of mayors worried.
"If we lose that factory, we'd be in pretty bad shape," says Mayor Clyde Brown of Shubuta, Miss., where the Sunbeam factory employs 350 people in a town of 577 residents. In Coushatta, La., population 2,300, Sunbeam's $10 million payroll supports 450 to 500 workers. "If it shuts down, you can imagine a town this small with a plant that hires this many people," says Mayor Archie Worsham.
Such concerns are not unusual these days. According to the Chicago-based outplacement firm of Challenger, Gray & Christmas, US corporations have laid off 362,297 workers for the first nine months, up 20 percent from the first nine months of last year. However, this is down about 50 percent from the peak lay-off year of 1993. This drop-off has led some analysts to conclude that downsizing has stopped. Not so, says John Challenger, executive vice president. "Downsizing is a permanent part of the landscape."
That's not much reassurance for a community that is about to see its main employer close. This has led some towns to try to deal directly with Dunlap, who has publicly advised, "If you want a friend, buy a dog." Hattiesburg, Miss., sent a representative to a Sunbeam stockholders' meeting to try to get some peace of mind. And, Mississippi Gov. Kirk Fordice has called Dunlap to assure him the state was pro-business.
The mayor of Paragould, Ark., has been steadily meeting with officials from the local plant, which employs about 500 workers. "If we can help, we want to look at it," says Mayor Charles Partlow. Mr. Worsham enlisted the aid of some state legislators to write the company. "I doubt he would talk to me," says Mr. Worsham.
It's uncertain if it would have made any difference. A company spokesman, John DeSimone, says Sunbeam has made no assurances to any community. "Every plant is under review," he adds.
That's not surprising given Dunlap's methods. "He's very aggressive at paring back on the cost side," says Mark Diverio, a securities analyst at UBS Securities, Inc. in New York. While most companies make lay-offs over a period of years, Mr. Challenger says the Scott Paper lay-offs "were large and very quick."
Some mayors and communities are hoping that the criteria for keeping a plant open will be profitability and productivity. "As far as I understand this plant is one of the most profitable they have anywhere," says Fred White, the director of economic development at Portland, Tenn.
Mr. White was surprised when Dunlap's new management asked him if he knew any investors interested in buying the plant and who would lease it back to Sunbeam. "I thought it was strange playing around with their best operation, but they (Sunbeam) said your best ones are the ones you can sell; you can't sell your dogs."
Many mayors and communities are confident their plant is not a dog. Jim Cole, the city manager of Neosho, Mo., population 9,254, says the manager of the Sunbeam facility has assured the town that the Sunbeam facility which makes barbecue grills will remain open. Sunbeam recently expanded the factory, which employs 1,200 workers. "They have spent millions out there," says Mr. Cole, adding, "It would be devastating to us if they closed."
It's not certain if plant expansions will make any difference. In the past 2 1/2 years, Sunbeam has spent $300 million for capital improvements. "Over that time sales have remained flat and earnings have dramatically fallen off," says Mr. DeSimone.
Bob Dodge, director of economic development for Biddeford, Maine, says he is "cautiously optimistic" that Sunbeam will keep open its two factories that employ 350 workers and produces electric blankets. Output has doubled in the past four years at the factories. "Does it make sense to shut down a plant making money for a company?" he asks.
However, Sunbeam has done that in the past, according to Jimmy Wright, mayor or Linton, Ind. In July, Sunbeam closed down its Linton plant, which employed 450-500 people. "It had made money," says mayor Wright. But the facility did not have enough warehouse capacity.
Officials in Hattiesburg, Miss., hope Dunlap will be swayed by the fact their plant opened only last year. But they would like to know now if it's going to stay or go.
"I'd rather have the guillotine than death by 1,000 cuts," says David Rumbarger, head of the Area Development Partnership.

'Ghostbusters 3' Update: Bill Murray Still Hasn't Read the Script; Studio Won't Make It Without Him
Excuse us for sounding like a broken record, but we unfortunately have no choice when it comes to Ghostbusters 3. What we know is that a script is done and most of the original cast are behind the sequel. Dan Aykroyd has already started championing certain actors and actresses to come onboard as "the new Ghostbusters-in-training" and Sony Pictures is ready to make this sucker next year. Problem is ... Bill Murray is being a stubborn 10-year-old when it comes to this film, or at least that's how he's portrayed in the press.
According to the latest update via Deadline -- who report that Ghostbusters 3 (and Bad Teacher) writers Gene Stupnitsky and Lee Eisenberg have teamed up with their Bad Teacher director Jake Kasdan on a new comedy -- Bill Murray still hasn't read the script, and if he has the actor has not initiated any sort of dealmaking yet. The site also claims Sony will not make the sequel without Murray, so we're either getting the whole gang or we're getting nothing. Kind of amusing that the guy who took paychecks to star in two Garfield movies is giving them such a hard time about this one, but what can you do -- Murray has become a bit difficult in his old age.
Meanwhile, this new untitled comedy from the Bad Teacher gang will return to that successful love triangle formula for a story about a Supercuts manager who falls for his employee's fiancee after he advises him to break it off with her.
Do you want to see a Ghostbusters 3 at this point? Or should the whole lot just forget about it?

CHICAGO – Jan Edmiston, co-moderator of the 2016 General Assembly, encouraged of the Way Forward Commission to focus on mission and to do the work of transformation, as the commission opened its meeting in Chicago May 16.
Edmiston said the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) "exists to transform the world for God in the name of Jesus Christ" – that was the motto of the last congregation she served in northern Virginia.
Edmiston said that as Presbyterians, "we've got to be humble, and we've got to focus on mission above everything else. That is what inspires people. … We have an enormous capacity for good, a capacity for transformation. … We could change this country if we used all the resources we have" – money, smart people and faith.
"You've been charged with being bold and being brave, and that's what I hope you'll do," Edmiston told the commission.
The commission is holding its third face-to-face meeting May 16-17 at McCormick Theological Seminary in Chicago, although the commission members also meet monthly by conference call. The Chicago meeting comes at a time when the commission is trying to formulate a clearer sense of direction, its 12 members well aware that they face a deadline of Feb. 16, 2018 for completing their report to the 2018 General Assembly – but not wanting to rush into specifics of recommendations before having a chance to dream about a better way for the PC(USA) to be a church.
The commission will spend part of its time May 16 in discernment – with commission members reporting back the results of informal conversations they've had when they've asked Presbyterians to describe what sort of structure for they would envision for the denomination of the future if nothing existed today, and with commission members offering their own ideas for what they might potentially create from the ground up.
Mark Hostetter, a teaching elder from New York and the commission's moderator, described that discernment process as a time of brainstorming and thinking out loud about possibilities for a future structure of PC(USA) – but not for making specific proposals on which the commission will vote.
"This is an unusual meeting," Hostetter said – more about exploring ideas rather than refining a proposal for an up-or-down vote. "This is a time for free association, free thinking, dreaming if you will, imagining a world that is very different."
Edmiston spoke of some of the current realities as well – of the importance of Presbyterians relating to a diverse, multi-faith world and a desire that the national structure be less regulatory and more relational.
"I think there is fear in our denomination," Edmiston said. For example, she said that everywhere she goes, people ask her what the commission is up to, wanting to know what it might recommend. And as a denomination that's about 91 percent white, "we are missing out on our richness that is more expansive" in a diverse world.
With the denomination's six agencies, "I see overlap," she said. Among the national staff, "I think people are very removed," with a sense that "we are in the know. … There's anxiety there, but there's anxiety everywhere in the world."
Commission members asked the co-moderator what guidance she would give them in their work considering a possible structure for the denomination. "We are the PC(USA) – we have the capacity to change everything," she said. "So your job is to figure out what structure gives permission for people to do that and make it as easy as possible for people to do that and have the tools they need."
Edmiston was asked what kind of witness the PC(USA) can have in a politically divided world – with a president of the United States, Donald Trump, who calls himself a Presbyterian.
Presbyterians have always had a range of political views, and "we have a lot of Presbyterians who voted for Mr. Trump," Edmiston said. The PC(USA) has an active office in Washington and a new stated clerk, J. Herbert Nelson, with a prophetic voice, but no direct access to the president.
"It's a tricky thing," as "we can't assume that everyone agrees" politically with the denomination's public positions, Edmiston said.
Hostetter spoke the commission's attempts to coordinate its work with the 2020 Vision Team and the All Agency Review Committee, which met May 1-2 in Denver and is attempting to draft a "mission directive" including a statement describing the ethos or vision of the PC(USA). Hostetter said the three groups are trying to "model the vision we both have of acting as one body in Christ."

This week, a food pantry that's trying to offer healthier food to low-income families. Plus, an MU researcher tells us how quitting smoking may make you a happier person.
Hosted by Kyle Deas.
The Shelby County Food Pantry distributes about 37 thousand pounds of food every month to food-insecure families. But the organization's recent efforts have been focused not just on feeding people, but on trying to get healthy food to those families who are least able to afford it. Scarlett Robertson has this story.
Plus, Andrew Littlefield is a doctoral student at the University of Missouri whose work focuses on the relationship between substance abuse and personality. He was recently charged with analyzing a mountain of data going back almost twenty-five years.
Littlefield found was that individuals who quit smoking showed a significant decline in negative personality traits like impulsivity and neuroticism. What remains to be seen, though, is whether this link is causal. Did quitting smoking improve the mental health of the study participants? Or did they quit smoking because they became happier people? The answer to that question, says Littlefield, requires more research.

Mobile phones are becoming the chosen platforms for web access, with a forecast that over the coming decade more users will connect to the internet through mobile than conventional desktop computers. Internet search is likely going to remain one of the major ways to find information and services on the web. In order to provide satisfactory usability, mobile searches will have to take into consideration the nature of handsets. Being both pervasive and person-centric they continuously capture information about users and their context. Context awareness can enhance the mobile search experience by augmenting user queries with context information captured through the handset's sensors. In this paper we propose a unified architecture supporting context-awareness in mobility and show how it can be applied to mobile searches. Based on real life contextual data captured from handsets we discuss design approaches and end-user benefits of making mobile searches more context-aware.

At the November 21 regular meeting of the Bryan City Council, Bruce Siders, the Chief of the Bryan Fire Department, used a historical narrative and a fact-filled PowerPoint presentation to request of Council the addition of two new firefighters to his staff.
"Since 1857, the City of Bryan Fire Department has relied on a combination of career and volunteer firefighters in keeping the residents and visitors safe from the ravages of fire," Chief Siders said in his presentation. "Throughout the 159 years of the Department's existence, we have seen a rise and fall of volunteer firefighters. However, today like never before, we see a dramatic decline on the availability of people willing to commit to the volunteer fire service. This reduction in available volunteers puts the department in a position where we are not able to respond with the appropriate resources and manpower. This inability to respond with the appropriate resources and manpower places our citizens and our firefighters at a great risk."
Breaking down the historical personnel perspective from the last twenty years, Chief Siders continued, "In 1997, Chief Robinson penned a letter to then Mayor Runkle and the members of city council describing a decline of available volunteers. In that letter, Chief Robinson stated that the daytime availability of volunteers was severely hampered during the week, Monday through Friday. In 2004 Chief Manon performed a manpower study, and showed that the department continued in its decline of available volunteers. This time however, we started to see a decline not only in weekday response, but we also started to see a decline in weekend availability. In 2014, Council authorized the hiring of two additional career firefighters to help with the daytime call volume. While this assisted with the Monday through Friday calls, we are still seeing a decline in weekend availability."
As it currently stands, there are four firefighters on duty from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday, with no weekends and no holidays. Chief Siders proposed a plan with two firefighters on duty from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. seven days per week, with two additional firefighters on duty Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. The breakdown of the cost to the city per firefighter is an annual gross wage of $27,300, plus $18,648.24 for insurance, $6,552 for a retirement plan, $395.85 for Medicare, and $546 for workers compensation, bringing the total annual cost incurred by the City of Bryan, per firefighter, to $53,442.09.
Council agreed with the assessment, and agreed to look into the matter. The main issue will be funding, to which Council President Tommy Morr said, "We've got to find a fix, but we've got to find the money."
In other actions undertaken by Council on the evening, Ordinance 47-2016 was approved under suspended rules of reading, authorizing a change order for the 2016 Pavement Marking Program that will reduce the overall costs by $12,477.21.
Under suspended rules of reading, Council approved the passages of Resolution 29-2016, and Resolution 30-2016, both of which are measures designed to take control of long inactive, leftover funds. The first measure sought to return funds totaling $65,937.42 to the One Percent Income Tax Fund from the Don North Municipal Building Debt Retirement Fund, which has had all outstanding obligations retired since 2013. The second measure sought to transfer funds totaling $11,212.57 to the 1/2 Percent Income Tax fund from the Special Assessment Bond Fund. That money remains from the issuance of bonds in 1990 for a street light, as well as an East End Sewer Project that was completed in 1994, and all obligations cleared in 2009.
In keeping with the May 18, 2016, revision of the overtime exemption rule of the Fair Labor Standards Act, Council agreed to proposed wage increases for three city employees: Assistant Street Commissioner Tim Sands, Assistant Parks and Recreation Director Bruce Wheeler, and Fire Department Captain Gary Merschdorf.
Council approved two building permit requests on this evening, the first being petitioned by Jack's Sew and Vac of 122 North Main Street.
The business has acquired the adjacent storefront, and sought permission for a proposed $17,500 project to combine the two storefronts.
The second permit was granted to Community Health Professionals, who are planning on the construction of a new $2.16 million, 8,200 square foot facility at 1215 South Portland Street.

How refreshing: a big-budget, F/X-happy action flick that actually appears to be intentionally stupid.
It proves capable of doing something that many more artistically ambitious films fail at: entertaining an audience for nearly two hours.
After slogging through the predictability of countless would-be action thrillers, I admired the sheer professionalism of this one, which doesn't transcend its genre, but at least honors it.

Rocky's been with us now for about 7 months and in that time she's become one of my kids. She is the one that is always sitting at my feet when I work late into the night, or she will be the one that drives around with me as we do all the drops offs in the morning and afternoon. She is the one that is always there, sometimes "too" there if you know what I mean, because there are those times I just can't take her with me and she cries. That's right, after 41 years of never having had a dog of my own, I now have a doggie who cries when I leave without her. Her coming into our lives was definitely not something I planned, but it's worked out and Rocky is now as much as part of the family as the rest of us. And as a good pet mommy I have been learning how to care for her and part of that is finding good treats for her. Just like any child, I want Rocky to be able to snack and have something other than her regular dog food all of the time, I found some new snacks for her at Walmart that I brought home hoping she would enjoy them. I grabbed the Nudges Grillers® in the Chicken flavor, because I thought she would like those best.
Now Rocky is a little, bitty thing, but believe me she can eat, and she's always sniffing around after the kids hoping to get some leftovers. But I want her to be healthy and I am pretty careful about what I give her. I also worry about her gaining too much weight, she is an older dog and that means being more careful with her well being.
In trying to be a good mom I try to meet the four dimensions for complete care and health for her.
- Physical needs - we are what we eat…dogs too! Highlight key benefits of Nudges® treats:
- Made in the USA with only USA-sourced protein
- Real Meat as #1 ingredient
- "Real food-inspired"
- No artificial flavors or fillers (natural ingredients)
- Real meaty texture, appearance & smell
- Nutrition
- Grooming
- Exercise
- High-quality treats
- Emotional needs - socialization to other animals
- Mental needs – dogs get bored too… things to stop boredom for dogs
- Social needs - Dog friendships
The two Nudges® new products are:
- Grillers – Chicken (18oz) & Steak (3oz & 18oz)
- Sizzlers –Chicken Bacon (3oz & 18oz) & Beef & Cheese (3oz & 18oz)
Find them at Walmart and flow Nudges on Facebook and nudgesdogtreats.com for more info.
I'd say Nudges® Grillers and Sizzlers are Rocky approved!
