- Jameel Jaffer, Alexander Abdo: FISA Amendments Act violates Americans' privacy
- They say the act lets the government to target people without suspicion of wrongdoing
- They ask: Will this invasive program be subject to meaningful judicial review at all?
- Jaffer, Abdo: Government's efforts to shield the act from judicial review is disturbing
On Monday, the Supreme Court is hearing a challenge to a 2008 law that dramatically expanded the government's authority to wiretap Americans' phone calls and e-mails. At stake are not only the privacy protections guaranteed by the Constitution, but the ability of the courts to enforce them.
The law in question -- called the FISA Amendments Act -- endorsed and expanded the warrantless surveillance program that President George W. Bush authorized shortly after 9/11. It gives the National Security Agency a virtual blank check to intercept Americans' international phone calls and e-mails, to store them indefinitely in huge databases, and to share them with other agencies with few restrictions.
Surveillance under the law must target foreigners abroad, but the law permits the government to sweep up Americans' communications in the process. Indeed, administration officials who advocated for the law made clear that their principal interest was in collecting Americans' international communications.
Most troublingly, the FISA Amendments Act allows the government to wiretap Americans' international communications in a dragnet fashion -- potentially sweeping up thousands or millions of Americans' communications at a time -- without any suspicion of wrongdoing and without even identifying the targets of its surveillance to any court.
In the Clapper v. Amnesty case, the Supreme Court will, for the first time, hear a case concerning FISA -- the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act -- which was enacted more than 30 years ago, after the Senate's Church Committee exposed the rampant surveillance abuses of the preceding decades. And it will be the first time since 1972 that the court has considered any case concerning "intelligence surveillance" -- surveillance conducted not for law enforcement, but for investigating threats to national security.
The question before the justices is in one sense a narrow one: Can the law be challenged? The plaintiffs include an array of attorneys, human rights, labor, legal and media organizations whose work requires them to engage in sensitive and sometimes privileged phone and e-mail communications with people abroad.
In the past, we have argued that the plaintiffs have the right to challenge the law because it puts their communications at risk of surveillance, and because that risk is substantial enough to have compelled them to take costly and burdensome measures to protect their confidential communications.
For example, some of the plaintiffs have had to travel overseas to gather information in person that -- if not for this law -- they would have been able to gather by phone or e-mail.
An appeals court agreed with us last year, but the government argues that the plaintiffs may not sue because they cannot prove that their communications have actually been intercepted under the law or will be intercepted under it in the future. Of course, the government refuses to disclose whether it has -- or will in the future -- wiretap the plaintiffs' phone calls or e-mails.
The flaw in the government's logic should be obvious: If only those who can prove they were wiretapped can sue, and if the government categorically refuses to reveal whom it has wiretapped, then no one will ever be able to challenge the law. The real issue here is whether this unprecedented and invasive surveillance law will be subject to meaningful judicial review at all, ever.
If the plaintiffs cannot challenge the law, then the only judicial scrutiny the law is likely to receive will come from the FISA Court, which meets in secret, generally allows only the government to appear before it, rarely issues public decisions, and doesn't have the authority to consider several key constitutional problems with the law.
The government's argument is really about the role of the judiciary in patrolling the boundaries between the lawful measures that the executive should take in the defense of national security, and the unconstitutional and effectively unbridled discretion the government now has to acquire Americans' international communications.
Whatever one's views of the legality of the FISA Amendments Act, the government's efforts to shield the law from any meaningful judicial review should be profoundly disturbing to all Americans.

Celtic star Wilson banned for two games
KELVIN Wilson will serve a two-match ban after being found guilty of violent conduct by the Scottish Football Association's Fast Track Tribunal.
The Celtic defender was issued with a notice of complaint by SFA compliance officer Vincent Lunny for "by striking an opposing player, namely John Baird, with his elbow" during Celtic's 2-0 Boxing Day win at Dens Park.
Wilson contested the charge but it was upheld with the suspension applied with immediate effect.
The decision is sure to disappoint Wilson, who, after yesterday's 1-0 win over Motherwell at Parkhead, revealed he would be making a personal appearance at Hampden in a bid to clear his name.
The former Nottingham Forest player was confident that Baird's comments after the Dundee game would help his case.
Wilson said: "It wasn't an elbow so I don't know where the violent conduct has come from.
"To be fair the boy, he said he was grabbing my shirt and I was just trying to get away, which I was and unfortunately I caught him.
"If you go into a court of law and someone gives a statement like that then it is taken into consideration so I hope that is the case.
"But we will see. If it goes against me I will just have to get on with it but hopefully the people will see sense and it will get resolved."

The Light Between Oceans left me speechless. I hadn't broken down to a good drama in days. The Light Between Oceans had me in tears and excruciating chokes. The movie saunters on the theme of love, culpability, repentance, sacrifice and forgiveness, and it aces all of it owing to its ravishing direction and extraordinary performances. And that is just the plot of it. The flick's stunning cinematography and Alexandre Desplat's heart-melting music are constantly yet peacefully uplifting its standards of beauty, playing second fiddle.
Derek Cianfrance has become one of my favourite directors. His 2010 movie Blue Valentine had me instantly arrested. Not for the fact that it capered around the concept of love, rather how he was bold enough to show both sides of the coin, that too in a rare engrossing rhythm. Also, he gave us ample time to reflect. When we consider the latter aspect, The Light Between Oceans stays no different.
Cianfrance focuses on the most phenomenal aspects whilst directing. You can feel the warmth in his frames as he successfully depicts love, zooms in on minuscule ingredient of despair, repentance by focusing in on faces of the protagonists to read their thoughts and gravity via the arduous vibes in the air. He allows characters to speak their feelings out with their acting alone and doesn't resort to theatrics. It retains the patience of time in it, which compels you to read them carefully.
To say that the cast was good would be an understatement. They were outrageously fantastic! There is nothing Michael Fassbender can't do. A war veteran who has returned from death seeks solitude to reflect on what remains of him. His Tom Sherbourne has a musing countenance, a man of few words, and he brims it up with credence. With the arrival of Isabel Graysmark played convincingly well by Alicia Vikander, life finds a new meaning for him. Together they make love very touching. Also, their chemistry has a rare blend of the extraordinaire. I can't even begin to marvel at their acting prowess. Their faces feel like they are literally living the story. I mean just look at the movie's poster; it talks!
Rachel Weisz's Hannah Roennfeldt is equally mesmerizing. She plays a very authentic grieving woman that will have you concentrate on her every syllable.
Florence Clery was a perfect fit for Lucy-Grace. If she wouldn't have been that adorable, then the audience would have failed to see what the fight was for. She is downright enchanting!
In those solitary runs to the Lighthouse, the terrific composer Alexandre Desplat underlines and hands us over a perfect backdrop imploring our reflective moods. That's one rare corner I find myself going lucky inadvertently. I have had the good hap of watching plenty of movies with Desplat in the background, and he never fails to create a magical whirlwind of toneful melody. If you close your eyes, you will feel it literally begging for ovation.
Just when you thought, "Can it go any better than that?" Well, there arrives its magnificent plot.
Amidst the harmonious notes, and alluring images of the sea, that calls for enough love, comes a situational conundrum that hangs on its thin wire of decisions. Isabel makes the wrong one, forcing a whirlpool of guilt to swallow Tom up.
A baby arrives in a dinghy which the unfortunate arid Isabel is keen on keeping. She goes so blind in love, she overlooks the fact that a dead man arrived in it too. She coaxes Tom into keeping it and burying the man without informing anybody about it. Along with the cadaver of the man they bury their secret too and the world doesn't know. Nobody knows that underneath the blinding light of the beacon slept a corrigible mistake patiently waiting for their guilt to nibble them up.
Then one day, it happens. He finds Hannah the original mother grieving for her child and husband. The constant gut-wrenching wrongdoing eats him alive.
You could see in those rare frames of Cianfrance, tears of Michael Fassbender lingering in his unsure eyes. What follows, reeks of unrivalled gravitas that will definitely rip you apart. I was shattered beyond limit; Cianfrance made sure of that.
You can purchase the movie DVD from Amazon here:
There are so many good things that I take away from The Light Between Oceans. Its powerful screenplay makes me want to revisit it to concentrate enough to remember – Exact words that were spoken. Exact amount of tears that were spent when the poor little child, who had no clue why was she being taken away from her mother cries for her mom. Hannah's endless scrimmage to get back Lucy even when she did.
The fierce abomination that lurked in Isabel's eyes for Tom, who became a murderer of dreams almost instantly. The zen in her orbs to see Lucy again. Tom's selfless colossal sacrifice. When Isabel finally reads that letter that changes her heart.
Then when finally Lucy-Grace returns in the epilogue to meet a shriveled Tom. When she understands, comprehends every bit, and thanks him for taking care of her. When she reads Isabel's letter. And then when she eventually hugs her. That look of contentment in his eyes, that little smile that had somehow gone lost in time returns.
I cannot thank M. L. Stedman enough to have thought something so unusual and exhilarating. Bravo!
Those who wish to read the book, which I am told is even better, can get it from here on Amazon:

But more bizarrely for a shopping trolley boasting the power-to-weight ratio of a Porsche 964, the narrative behind this car is actually as interesting as the finished product.
You see Audi has a strict hierarchy of fastness. Its normal cars are developed by certain teams, the hotter S models go to a group fed on slightly spicier food and the RS versions - the fastest of all - always go to the people at Quattro GmbH, who dine exclusively on Scotch Bonnets.
That's like BMW launching the 1 M Coupe and not consulting the boys at M. Ask Audi why this is the case and it says the team at Quattro have been busy on other projects (RS4, revised R8 etc) but it does seem strange that the company has circumnavigated its own, it has to be said hard-earned, performance heritage to launch one of its silliest cars for many years.
There are over 600 changes to the A1 to make this car, and herein lies another area of suspicion. Audi is making just 333 of these cars (no significance to the number, it just 'likes' it), all in left-hand drive, and yet it has made alterations to the body in white to swap the rear torsion beam from the standard car to a multi-link set-up that accommodates the rear running gear.
And do those read like modifications that members of the board of Audi would okay for use in just 333 cars? Correct: we were not born yesterday. Homologating the new fuel tank alone probably absorbed the budget Lotus spent on the entire Evora project. There will surely be other 4WD A1s, some may even wear S and RS badges. One might even be an Allroad.
Despite weighing 1,300kg, it is surprisingly fast. The gear ratios seem quite long and throttle response is pretty sharp. The exhaust makes nice parpy sounds when power is cut suddenly.
The Haldex 4WD system still feels front-biased (because it is), but on small studs and a frozen lake it'll hold great big, all-four-wheels-pointing-in-the-same-direction slides that are immense fun. But don't actually give any indication of what the car will be like on the road.
After this I met Stig Blomqvist, who was quiet and heroic, just the way you want your heroes to be, but that didn't give me any better idea of what the A1 Quattro was like to drive.
Nor did a few thoroughly enjoyable laps on the ice in a revised RS5, with a new electromechanical steering which was so light at standstill I thought the wheel had come loose, and a few detail changes. And which was fitted with the optional sport differential.
The car was just brilliant on the lake, it didn't understeer at all and actually exposed the weaknesses of the A1's Haldex system which does occasionally make the wrong call and punt all motive forces to the front wheels, right at the moment you want all drive going to the rear. Does this alter my opinion of the RS5 on the road? A little bit, but I still don't rate it as a road car.
None of this really matters. Only 20 A1 Quattros will come to the UK costing £39,930 each. 14 have already gone. One will be kept by Audi UK for its historic fleet. In the context of what else is available for the money, the car is laughable. For those who want the ultimate Waitrose chariot, it is probably the most desirable car on sale, oozing with Audi detail, style and showroom pizzazz.
And it isn't the last fast A1 we're going to see. Happy days.

Nate McLouth's two-run home run keyed Baltimore's four-run fifth inning and the Orioles held off the Texas Rangers 5-3 Tuesday night.
Chris Tillman (6-2) gave up three runs on six hits and struck out seven and walked one in 6 2-3 innings before giving way to the Orioles' bullpen, which now has a 1.57 ERA in the last 18 games. Jim Johnson worked a scoreless ninth to pick up his 38th save.
Manny Machado had a run-scoring triple and J.J. Hardy also drove in a run with a double in the fifth against Scott Feldman (6-9).
The Rangers scored two on Geovany Soto's two-run homer in the seventh inning to pull to 5-3 and then put the tying run on base, but Pedro Strop struck out Josh Hamilton on a slider to end the threat.

Approved SEO
If I can pass on just one piece of advice to anyone looking to find an approved SEO company is this.
Ask for recent evidence of their work.
You ideally want to see searches of a competitive nature and or if possible within the same industry sector as yours.
1.) Can you speak to your account manager on a daily basis?
2.) Is your account manager an SEO expert or just a salesperson?
3,)Ask for explanations in English, cut off the geek talk.

Actually there is no such thing really. Google don't promote any SEO companies but they do offer simple guidelines for SEO's to follow. Now this is where we do come in to 'Google Approved SEO'. We don't bend the rules, no grey areas as far as we are concerned. If it can't be done ethically and through whitehat SEO techniques then we aren't interested. But we've never missed a deadline or failed to hit a first page result in 8 years. You can talk all the bull you want in this industry but when the chips are down it's purely who can deliver real results.

Our closest competitor has over 100 employees in London and a huge turnover. Yet week on week we compete with their clients results. The difference with us is that we're a small SEO firm, but we're bad ass at it. No huge overheads, we're based in Newcastle where it's 1972 compared to London rates.

How I Told My Husband, "I'm Pregnant!"
By Katherine M. Tomlinson
A little more than two weeks after my daughter's second birthday my gynecologist confirmed my suspicions that I was pregnant with my second child. Elated, I wanted to think of a fun way to tell my husband. I was racking my brain for an idea on my way home from the doctor's office when I remembered that we were out of milk. So I stopped at the grocery store.
Cruising through the candy aisle on my way to the dairy section, I saw a favorite chocolate bar that sparked a plan. After grabbing a carton of cow juice I began scouring the aisles, loading a selection of items into my cart. When I got home I assembled my purchases in a basket and left it on the kitchen table.
When my husband got home from work, he asked what the stuff in the basket was for. I replied with a question: "What do all of these things have in common?" He looked them over and puzzled for a minute or two but couldn't solve the riddle.
I asked him to read the names of the products out loud. So he began: "Baby Ruth, baby carrots, baby dill pickles, baby peas, baby clams...," he paused, wide-eyed. "Are you pregnant? No, you're not pregnant…are you?" But he could see from my delighted expression that I was, and I'll never forget his look of surprise. He, too, was ecstatic, and how I told my husband, "I'm pregnant!" has become a treasured part of our family folklore.

A woman was recovering from a gunshot wound Saturday as police continued their search for three masked men who tied her and her husband up during a brutal nighttime robbery at the couple's Beverly Hills home.
- Breaking News Alerts: Download the NBCLA News App
Police said the couple was confronted by the three men at their house in the 400 block of Doheny Road after answering a knock at their front door sometime before 8:30 p.m. Friday.
U.S. & World
"The victims are elderly male and female couple who were tied up inside the location," said Lt. Lincoln Hoshino of the Beverly Hills Police Department.
The woman was shot in the leg before the robbers took off with some of the couple's belongings, Hoshino said. Her injuries were non-life threatening.
One neighbor said officers searched her backyard with their guns drawn.
"They had guns, rifles," said the neighbor. "When they left they just told me, 'Lock your door.'"
After the men left, the husband was able to untie himself and call police, Hoshino said. They were both taken to the hospital.
On Saturday, the woman was hospitalized and the husband, who suffered severe bruising, was by her side.
Police have stepped up patrols in the area.

So at inception, go simple, and then work your way up to the ideal.
On multiple distribution keys:
Many question arise on how many distribution keys to use. Keep in mind that this is as much a physical choice as a functional one. If the chosen key provides good physical distribution, then there is no reason to use more keys. More granularity in a good distribution has no value. However, a distribution key MUST be used in a join in order to achieve co-location. So if we use multiple keys, we are committing to using all of them in all joins, and this is rarely the case. I would strongly suggest that you center on a single distribution key and only move to more than one if you have high physical skew (again, a physical not functional reason). The distribution is not an index - it is a hash. In multi-key distributions, the join does not first look at one column then the next - it looks at all three at once because they are hashed together for the distribution. Joined-at-the-hip if you will.
On leaving out a distribution key:
One case had three tables joining their main keys to get a functional answer. They were all distributed on the same key, which was a higher-level of data than the keys used in the join. The developer apparently thought that because the distribution keys are declared that the machine will magically use them behind the scenes with no additional effort from us. This is not the case. If the distribution key(s) (all of them) are not mentioned in the join, the machine will not attempt co-location. In this particular case, using the higher-level key would have extended the join somewhat but would not have changed the functional answer. Simply adding this column to the join reduced that query's duration by 90 percent. So even if a particular distribution key does not "directly" participate in the functional answer, it must directly participate in the join so as to achieve co-location. And if this does not change the functional outcome, we get the performance and the right answer.
How it affects concurrency:
Many times people will ask: Why is it that the query runs fast when it's running alone, but when it's running side-by-side with another instance of itself they both slow to a crawl? This is largely due to the lack of co-location in the query. When the query cannot co-locate, it must redistribute the data across the inter-blade network fabric so that all the CPUs are privy to all the data. This quickly saturates the fabric so that when another query launches, they start fighting over fabric bandwidth not the CPU bandwidth. In fact some have noted that the box appears to be asleep because the CPUs and drives aren't doing anything during this high-crunch cycle. That's right, and it's a telltale sign that your machine's resources are bottlenecked at the fabric and not the CPU or I/O levels. By co-locating the joins, we keep the data off the fabric and down in the CPUs where it belongs, and the query will close faster and can easily co-exist with other high-intensity queries.

When we breathe, air goes in and out of the lungs through airways. But people with asthma have a problem with those airways, which are also called bronchial (say: BRONG-kee-ul) tubes. These tubes are often swollen and puffy on the inside, which means they're not as good at pulling air in and pushing it out. There isn't enough room inside the airway for air to flow.
This swelling in the airways gets worse during an asthma flare-up, making it hard to breathe. During a flare-up, also called an asthma attack or episode, the lungs also may produce a lot of sticky mucus, which clogs the airways. And the muscles around the airways tighten up, making the airways really narrow. All of this can lead to some pretty serious breathing trouble.
During a flare-up, someone might have:
Flare-ups also can cause sweating or make somebody feel like his or her heart is beating faster than normal, even while sitting still.
If you have asthma, you need to know that every flare-up needs attention right away. You may need to take medicine, visit your doctor, or go to the emergency department. Your mom or dad can help you learn how to handle asthma flare-ups when they happen, so you'll know what to do.
A flare-up can last a few hours or longer if you don't take your quick-relief medicine (also called rescue or fast-acting medicine). Often, just a few puffs from an inhaler can help you feel better. Once the flare-up passes, most kids feel fine.
Flare-ups can be handled, but it's even better if you can prevent them from happening. One way to do that is to avoid triggers. Triggers are things that bring on asthma symptoms. Many kids who have asthma also have allergies, so common triggers include things that cause allergies. Some of them are pets, animal dander, dust mites (tiny bugs that live in dust), mold, or cockroaches.
Other triggers do not cause allergies, but they do irritate the airways. These include tobacco smoke, cold air, exercise, and infections, such as colds. If you try to avoid your triggers, you may sometimes be able to prevent asthma flare-ups.
Some flare-ups are serious, but others are mild. Flare-ups can happen suddenly, but also can build up over time, especially in kids who aren't taking the asthma medicine they need.
You won't be able to avoid all triggers or to stop all flare-ups. That means you should always be prepared for one. Learn how you feel when a flare-up is coming on — does your chest hurt or feel tight? Do you feel tired? Do you have a cough, even though you don't have a cold? Does your throat feel itchy? If you have a peak flow meter, this might be a good time to use it.
Get help if you feel like a flare-up is about to happen. Use your quick-relief medicine as your doctor instructed. Let people around you know what is happening. Don't ignore the attack or hope it will go away on its own. It won't and you might end up in the emergency department.
You also have the power to prevent flare-ups, at least some of the time. Here's what you can do:

And as today is the last day of June, this is going to be the last post for my Spring 2011 Kaleidoscope. I am not sure what I'm going to do next season though: whether I'm going to do a Summer Kaleidoscope and blog six full series, or blog seven full series instead: it's entirely going to depend on that seventh series. Plus, it's got two huge question marks as well in the form of Appleseed and Last Exile. They're both two series that aside from the regular line-up I really want to blog.
In any case, this episode was build up, build-up and even more build-up. The creators made sure to make it into a gripping episode though, especially when Kaiji brought in Endou of all people: the guy who was responsible for getting him into his mess in the first place. This episode was really being mysterious in the way that it refused to reveal Kaiji's plans (much like the previous arc), so a lot of this episode consisted out of cryptic hints at how supposedly awesome his plans are going to be, although the negotiations with Endou really kicked ass in how intense they were.
Now, the big pitfall for this series is going to be the the suspense of disbelief. There is one big difference between Akagi and Kaiji: Akagi was superhuman. It's not about seeing really smart plans, but about psychology. Kaiji meanwhile belongs in the category of series that specialize in plans and schemes. The biggest pitfall of those kinds of series is to take their plans a step too far and make them just ridiculously complicated, a la Death Note or Code Geass where in the end things depend on the most precise coincidences. That's also one of the reasons the first season annoyed me, in the way in which Kaiji miraculously danced across death on the beam arc.
In terms of characters though, this arc does have the most interesting side-kick for Kaiji that we've seen in this series yet. His Buddhist roots, his incredible temper: all of it works really well and it's quite a step away from the usual young guys. The villain though has yet to prove himself. He's just this posh underling, and nowhere as interesting as some of the best villains of this series.

The Stratos is one of those commercial planes that actually makes me think "this is how the future will look like". Rather than just being the same old basic design that has been with us forever now, the Stratos has a large 237-foot wingspan and two massive engines mounted on the back, giving it a way more stylised design than monsters like the Airbus A380. Its features, even compared to the A380, are impressive:
• Two Roll Royce Trent-like engines, capable of developing up to 95,000 lbf.
• 55,000 feet altitude ceiling.
• 505 knots cruise speed at 47,000 feet
• 208-foot long body (which in combination with the wings gives it that stylized look).
• 10,400 nautical miles range.
• 256 passengers in an all-sleeper, double-deck configuration (if only all inter-continental places were all-sleepers).
The Stratos is not made by Boeing or EADS. It has been designed by a group of former British aerospace engineers. According to them, this plane will be much more efficient and environmentally-savvy than the current fleet. However, it's just a design for now, even if they say it could get int into service in 2028. [Flight Global]

The stuffed rabbit is also known as Bun-bun. As you can imagine the tutorial is going to be simple to tackle because the lesson is easy to follow. You will be drawing Usa-chan in no time at all.

Sometimes, it's better to do partial repairs than to do complete ones, but only temporarily. For example, production needs to finish a run to fill a critical order. Sometimes, partial repairs are the best you can do for now. For example, you don't have the necessary expertise or replacement parts for a complete repair.
With proper administrative controls and procedures in place, temporary repairs don't become forgotten repairs. And you can use physical controls. For example, you set the PLC to alarm every two hours until a permanent repair is made.
Among other things, a temporary repair management system should include:
- Specific hang tags that denote the equipment is operating under temporary repair.
- A written sign-off from the production manager that the repairs are good for only a specific time (e.g., end of shift, until part X arrives, etc.).
- Summary communication to all affected parties.
What about temporary repairs to safety systems, such as light curtains, interlocks, and E-stop buttons? Regardless of the technical merits, such repairs present a moral hazard. Instead of asking "Could someone lose a finger with this switch jumpered?" thinking shifts to "How much money might we lose without this switch jumpered?"

Mac OS X glitch: Renaming a file
Since I switched to Mac OS X my machine is giving me lot of opportunities to demystify the it just works Apple motto.
I already talked about that in my previous post, but few minutes ago I experienced another glitch: something as simple as renaming a file is causing trouble to the Finder that get confused on where place the textfield where to enter the new filename.
A similar glitch happens also with Xcode, it has sometimes troubles matching the cursor position on the screen with the actual cursor position in the file.
Please Cupertino, fix it!

"testing on animals" is obviously a very emotional topic. so let us assure you right now: we have never conducted any testing on animals – neither for essence products nor for any of our ingredients. we could just sit back and relax now. but unfortunately, the issue isn't quite that simple nor black and white. so we'd like to openly answer your questions and provide you with more information on this complex topic that is very close to our hearts.
here are the most frequent questions and our answers.
in the european union, the sale of cosmetics products that have been tested on animals has been prohibited since 2004. the cosmetic industries of various countries of the european union have voluntarily refrained from doing so since1989. and since 2009, products with ingredients that have been tested on animals, especially for cosmetic purposes, are also forbidden. the transitional period ended in 2013. this means that by law, any cosmetics product marketed in the european union is free of animal testing. this applies also to all products marketed by essence globally.
but there's another important fact you need to know: the so-called REACH regulation (registration, evaluation & authorization of chemicals) came into force in 2009. this regulation covers chemical policy requirements, which say that all ingredients must be proven to be safe – no matter whether they are well-known or brand new, synthetic or natural. in this case, "safe" means that the ingredients in the finished product will not lead to any negative health effects upon application. nowadays, the cosmetics industry implements alternative testing methods instead of testing on animals. alternative tests are in-vitro-tests – i.e. tests without live organisms! by the way, "in vitro" is latin and means "in a glass".
but – and this is a big "but": many cosmetic ingredients are also used for other purposes. almond oil, for example, is often used in cosmetics but it is also used for manufacturing other products such as pharmaceuticals. by law, medical ingredients can and must still be tested on animals to prove that they are safe for use. at least if no authorized alternative test is available.
such ingredients may later also be used in cosmetics. the important thing is: ingredients are not allowed to be tested on animals especially for cosmetics purposes.
if your head isn't spinning yet, you can read more about it here:
in german: http://www.ikw.org/schoenheitspflege/themen/fragen-antworten/tierversuche-und-alternativmethoden/
in english: https://www.cosmeticseurope.eu/
testing on animals is a no-go for essence. we do not conduct animal testing and do not commission anyone else to do so either. not in the european union or anywhere else in the world. we never have and we never will. the contracts with our clients state that they must manufacture products in compliance with european union law, which strictly prohibits testing on animals. to us, this is a matter of course – and always has been on a voluntary basis - because we know that we can manufacture good and safe products without torturing animals. in the cosmetics industry, alternative tests have been used for many years instead of testing on animals.
however, it is practically impossible to prove that a cosmetics product is totally free of animal testing. this applies without exception. this is because the ingredients may, for example (as already mentioned in question 1), have already been tested on animals for medical purposes. if there is no alternative method available, the pharmaceuticals industry still has to test on animals by law. also, other laws apply for suppliers in countries outside of the european union. so it could happen that an ingredient has been tested on animals somewhere in the world – but since 2013, not for a cosmetics company that markets its products in europe.
then there are the raw materials that have been tested on animals in the past. some even decades ago when animal testing was still legal. although we are in no way responsible for these tests, they cannot be undone.
many of these raw materials are still used in cosmetics – including for brands that have never conducted or commissioned testing on animals themselves.
because we are strictly against testing on animals, it is extremely important to us to explain these details! luckily, work is underway to stop animal testing in all industries and countries as soon as possible and replace it with alternative testing methods. however, these methods have to be legally approved before they can replace animal testing. this is a real scientific challenge, which many companies are already facing with great commitment.
no. this has been prohibited in europe since 2009, but we didn't conduct animal testing before that, either. not for our products and not for our raw materials either. we believe that beauty is no reason to torture animals. there are very good ingredients available to us even without animal testing.
we try to use ingredients that have been used safely in cosmetics for a long time. almond oil, for example. it has been used in lipsticks, creams, foundation and nail care for years and is proven to be harmless as well as extremely effective. but even in the case of such a natural ingredient, we cannot guarantee that it has never been tested on animals by another company within keeping of the chemical policy regulations mentioned in question 1. for example, this may have occurred in accordance with the legal requirements valid at that time (when animal testing was still allowed in europe), for medical purposes or for a company outside of the european union. we can, however, guarantee that we have never conducted testing on animals ourselves and have never commissioned anyone else to do so.
no. we never have and never will test on animals. please take a look at point 2, where we explain what essence thinks about testing on animals!
there's nothing to worry about! first of all, there are the chemical policy requirements, which require proof of safety for all ingredients.for every product marketed in the european union, the safety of each product is confirmed by trained specialists.
furthermore, we make use of alternative testing methods and commission laboratories to carry out in-vitro tests – this kind of testing is conducted in test tubes without live organisms. so you can enjoy your essence products without worrying about your safety!
essence has always had innovative, trendy products and we have never carried out any tests on animals! and this isn't going to change in the future. with the help of alternative testing methods, we, like the rest of the cosmetics industry, are continuously working on assessing whether new raw materials really are safe for use. so you can always look forward to plenty of new and improved products by essence!
first of all, the ban on animal testing doesn't just apply to finished cosmetics products, but also to the raw materials used – if they are exclusively used for cosmetics! as the safety of all ingredients has to be ensured in accordance with the chemical policy regulations, the cosmetics industry uses alternative testing methods instead of animal tests. if these alternative methods cannot prove that an ingredient is safe, it will not be used.
but you should know that many raw materials are also used in pharmaceuticals, for example. as medicine is particularly important, the legislation is totally different here. in this case, ingredients are tested on animals if no other approved alternative methods are available. although these tests are not conducted for the cosmetics industry, they do sometimes apply to ingredients that may later be used in the production of cosmetics.
no. according to european union regulations, this is prohibited since 2009. but here at essence, we have always refrained from testing on animals for our products and their ingredients. we love beauty, but we love animals, too! and for us, this goes hand in hand.
we test new ingredients with alternative methods to ensure their safety in accordance with the european cosmetics regulation. however, we sadly cannot guarantee that an ingredient that may be new to us has not been tested on animals previously by the pharma industry or by a company outside of europe that does not have to comply with european union regulations if it doesn't want to sell its products here. but we promise that essence never conducts any testing on animals, nor asks others to do it!
of course! our innovation team is responsible for this. they scan all new ingredients available on the market that are safe for use in essence cosmetics. after all, we always want to be ahead of the trends and ensure that our products can offer that little bit extra!
no, we do not conduct testing on animals for these products either! firstly, because we don't want to, and secondly, because we would not be allowed to sell these products in europe for legal reasons!
although animal testing was even mandatory for products sold in china until 2014, this doesn't apply to essence because we do not sell our products in china. our suppliers have to comply with the rules of the country where the products will be sold. and the european union law clearly states that testing on animals for cosmetics products and their ingredients is forbidden.
yes, we can. and we are even legally obliged to do so: our suppliers must comply with our strict criteria as well as the law – this means that they have to manufacture our products in accordance with european union legislation, which says that testing on animals is forbidden. we promise that there are no loopholes or tricks!
because for european cosmetics companies, it goes without saying that no animal tests have been conducted – after all, animal testing has been forbidden by the european union regulation since 2009! and if something is self-explanatory, we do not write it on our products.
the bunny symbol only makes sense in countries where testing on animals for cosmetics purposes is still allowed. in the usa, for example, brands can use this symbol to inform the public or for advertising purposes since not everyone manufactures their products without testing on animals. in european countries, on the other hand, this would only lead to confusion since it is forbidden to test on animals for cosmetics products anyway.
according to the organization "cruelty free", the european union countries and india are pioneers in the ban on animal testing for cosmetics. although this is great, it would be even better if we weren't so lonely at the top and other countries would join us soon – for a world free of animal testing!

Tax Compromise Being Considered
KSCB News - May 16, 2013 8:12 am
Republicans in the Kansas Senate are preparing to review a new, compromise plan for cutting income taxes and canceling part of a scheduled decline in the state sales tax.
Senate GOP leaders scheduled Thursday morning's meeting as lawmakers hoped to resolve their differences on taxes and wrap up their work for the year.
House Republicans outlined the new plan during negotiations Wednesday with senators on tax issues.
The proposal would cut personal income tax rates over four years, although not as deeply as senators wanted. The 6.3 percent state sales tax would drop to 6 percent in July.
House GOP leaders wanted to let the sales tax drop to 5.7 percent, in keeping with existing law. Senators wanted to keep the rate at 6.3 percent.

The department is poised to finish the final component of a long-range plan to address giant salvinia on Lake Bistineau once the lake's water level reaches seven feet below pool stage. To date, fall and winter rain events have kept the water level from dropping much below three feet.
The number and placement of trees in the lake is contributing to the proliferation of this plant. The trees offer cover from freeze damage, slow water velocity which encourages silt depositing and the establishment of nursery areas, prevents plant movement and inhibits spraying. Strategic tree removal in relation to nursery areas and the spillway will be one control method considered when the water is down.
After aerial inspection in November, we observed a significant reduction in plant coverage due to heavy rainfall throughout October. While some plants passed through the control structure, stranding of the plants within the lake was the main contributor for the reduction. This proves that utilizing water level fluctuations to strand plants is a successful control method and why much of our attention has been focused on using this method going forward. The immense watershed provides us with more capacity to fluctuate water levels year round.
I have participated in several productive meetings in recent weeks and more are planned. I anticipate meeting with the Louisiana State Land Office, Louisiana National Guard, Department of Environmental Quality, Bossier Police Jury and state legislators in the near future. Most of the meetings are follow-up meetings to address particular issues.

Skill Tubing is a challenging experience and not just another towable that you simply hang on to. The Slalom Solo is a Doable; a controllable towable that you can maneuver, slalom, jump, veer, and do a combination of moves through the boat wake or crest in a straight-line boat pattern. Doables are patent pending new shapes that have less drag with smaller footprints for reduced gas consumption. A patent pending bottom "veer" tow system, combined with strategically located extra large patent pending Tiger Tooth Fins enable the rider to control the Slalom Solo in various shoe-lace type moves. Skill is acquired via multiple riding attempts. You will learn that slaloming is achieved by leaning left or right away from the boat. As you gain balance and the ability to maneuver, you will have plenty of spills and chills. All riders, boat drivers and spotters are novices. Start slowly at reduced speeds until you gain confidence, then create your own thrilling ride.Features

Spring is a welcome season for New Englanders, but it's also a favorite for realtors. Southington's Putnam Agency Real Estate office, is not only anticipating the spring market, but they are celebrating 50 years of serving the real estate needs of Connecticut.
Owner and Broker Sherry Davenport spoke about how the industry has changed, over the years, but how the basics, buyer and seller representation, is still a vital service that cannot be underestimated. Putman Agency Real Estate was voted in the top two real estate service providers in Southington in 2012.
Davenport expressed thanks to all customers and clients saying that while buyers and sellers have embraced web technologies, "Realtors help navigate through a complicated process. Buying or selling a home requires a professional who will assist in avoiding costly mistakes and delays. Experience is key – the real estate industry is ever changing, and is so important to work with a Realtor who is knowledgeable."
Many homeowners are familiar with fluctuations in the market value of a property. Davenport said that the northeast experienced a housing boom with prevalent building, but noted that the market began to slow down in 2005-2007, and the volume of home sales decreased along with prices.
"There was continued movement in the market but not at the level in earlier years," she said. "We are currently seeing the market begin to recover, as well as a slight increase in home values."
Communications today are done primarily using email and text, unlike days of past where landline phone communication were critical for making timely offer and counter offer decisions. While the internet gives buyers access to information like municipalities, school information, and mortgage information, it is the job of the realtor to put those resources into context. Access and understanding a property purchase are two different things.
"Our office embraces both technology and personal services. Technology has become integrated into our industry but we strongly believe in working closely with buyers and sellers throughout the buying and selling process." Davenport said.
When asked why a buyer or seller should work with a Realtor, Davenport elaborated, "Realtors help navigate through a complicated process. Buying or selling a home requires a professional who will assist in avoiding costly mistakes and delays. Experience is key – the real estate industry is ever changing, and is so important to work with a realtor who is knowledgeable."
Davenport went on to explain that how important communication is in representing buyers and sellers. "We strive that all parties fully understand each and every stage of the process," she said. "A real estate transaction can be very stressful. We strongly believe honesty, professionalism, clear communication and a sincere dedication to help clients and customers are key components."
Davenport feels that the internet has played a large roll in educating the consumer, but Realtors have also contributed to educating buyers. In the last 15 years The State of Connecticut mandated all Real Estate agents must fully explain to all buyers how a real estate agent can represent buyers in a real estate transaction. This has contributed to buyers being fully informed and has been a positive change to the industry.
If someone were thinking of selling their own home, commonly known as For Sale By Owner (FSBO), Davenport said that choice can ultimately cost the seller more in the log run. Pricing a property correctly is critical to a successful sale as the market is extremely price driven.
"Additionally, the qualification of a buyer, lack of exposure and home showing accessibility are also major concerns to sellers of FSBO properties. As we see the market recover a knowledgeable Realtor is vital," said Davenport.
The Putnam Agency is not part of a nationally franchised organization. It is an independent company providing professional and personalized service.
Putnam Agency serves all of Connecticut in Residential and Commercial real estate. In addition to representing buyers and sellers, D & J Corporation Custom Home Builders (A Putnam Co.), has built hundreds of homes over the years.

Versatile Snyder brings catcher's glove to camp
SURPRISE, Ariz. -- Brandon Snyder arrived in camp carrying a catcher's glove on Sunday. Snyder wants to be prepared in case the Rangers ask him to catch.
"You never know, just in case," Snyder said. "I caught some [pitchers'] bullpens the other day. I'll wait for them to decide, but I'm prepared for anything."
Snyder played in 40 games for the Rangers last season and was used at first, third and both corner outfield spots. But he also learned to catch and caught one inning in a 21-8 loss to the Mariners on May 30. The Rangers only carry two catchers, but also like to have one utility player who can go behind the plate in an emergency.

text: Share: February 26, 2013 Fog Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation In north-central Chile, in the middle of a desert, there is a mountain forest dense with trees, ferns, and mosses. Its lush greenery is fed by fog blowing off the nearby Pacific Ocean. Unlike rain, fog can move horizontally through the landscape, delivering water and essential plant nutrients. But fog can also be a source of pollution, from undesirable microbes to acidic chemicals. In an effort to better understand the role that fog plays in ecosystems, Cary Institute biogeochemist Kathleen Weathers will be leading the first-ever gathering of scientists who study fog. The event has been made possible by a $157,000 grant from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation. The workshop will be held this June at the Moore Foundation's headquarters on the northern coast of California. More than 30 scientists from diverse fields will attend, including oceanographers, atmospheric scientists, botanists, and philosophers. Together they will explore what we know, don't know, and need to know about how fog shapes the environment. Findings will be communicated in a paper that addresses knowledge gaps, such as how fog delivers chemicals, microbes, and water to the land. An equally important outcome of the workshop will be new collaborations forged among researchers. New Publications Two books by Cary Institute scientists were released this winter. Fundamentals of Ecosystem Science (Academic Press, December 2012), edited by Kathleen Weathers, David Strayer, and Gene Likens, offers a comprehensive introduction to the field. William Schlesinger and Emily Bernhardt of Duke University produced a thoroughly revised and updated third edition of the textbook, Biochemistry: An Analysis of Global Change (Academic Press, January 2013). Katherine Larsen Writer in Residence Katherine Larsen This May, poet and author Katherine Larson will join the Cary Institute community as the newest writer-in-residence. In addition to having won a number of awards and fellowships for her writing, Larson, who lives in Arizona, is also a research scientist in molecular biology. Her poems connect the empirical world to the imaginative, exploring creative and destructive moments in micro- and macro-environments. Staff Distinctions Gary Lovett has been elected as Fellow to the American Association for the Advancement of Science in recognition of his seminal work in dry deposition to forest canopies and his studies of the impacts of acid deposition, excess nitrogen, pests, and pathogens on forests.Alan Berkowitz and William Schlesinger have been elected as Fellows to the Ecological Society of America in recognition of their distinguished contributions to the advancement and application of ecological knowledge.Emma Rosi-Marshall will be the next Director of the Baltimore Ecosystem Study Long-Term Ecological Research project, a role that is targeted to begin in 2016. William Schlesinger has been tapped as Chair-Elect of the Section on Geology and Geography for the American Association of the Advancement of Science. The three-year commitment includes successive years as Chair and Retiring Chair.Charles Canham has been elected to a second three-year term as secretary and member of the governing board of the Ecological Society of America.

One of the advantages enjoyed by incumbents for the Jacksonville City Council during this past municipal election campaign was being able to point to the performance of their man in the city manager�s office. That man, Richard Woodruff, has proven to be a major asset.
One of the advantages enjoyed by incumbents for the Jacksonville City Council during this past municipal election campaign was being able to point to the performance of their man in the city manager�s office. That man, Richard Woodruff, has proven to be a major asset.
Coming off the stormy term of former City Manager Kristoff Bauer, who rubbed some people the wrong way, the city council needed a quality hire to calm the seas back in the spring of 2010. They found the right person in Woodruff, who came from Florida after holding positions in both government and private industry during his career.
Assertive but approachable, Woodruff settled in quickly at City Hall and began to put his stamp on the workings of city government. He set out to discover the lay of the land and to close the gap between city government and the citizenry, particularly the business community. He also embraced the city�s connections to the military.
His professional competence hasn�t been his only asset, however; the example he has set for civic involvement also has made a notable impression. Woodruff wears his passion for Jacksonville on his sleeve. He is more than an administrator; he is a motivator.
Visible evidence of his influence can be seen at the entry to downtown, where the Freedom Fountain has brought new aesthetics and tangible patriotism to the cityscape. Woodruff has been, and continues to be, the biggest champion of the fountain.
Woodruff recently was honored with the Sarah Humphries Civic Action Award during an observance there. At the ceremony, City Councilman Jerry Bittner, himself a former Jacksonville city manager, noted that Woodruff has �exceeded any expectations of the job description.�
His work for the Freedom Fountain � both in the public eye and behind the scenes ���� provides a great example of the depth of the city manager�s commitment. �Dr. Richard Woodruff oversaw every detail of this fountain,� Bittner said.
Woodruff�s work on behalf of the Freedom Fountain shows no signs of dropping off. He is leading the charge for Phase 2 of the project: installation of five military medallions in the wall at the fountain; the landscaping of a nearby highway median; and the installation of five flag poles for the colors of the military services.
The Freedom Fountain and the nearby memorial gardens are becoming the centerpiece of civic pride that Jacksonville long has lacked. Credit the city manager �� as well as a number of other dedicated individuals in the public and private sectors � for making that a reality.
Woodruff gets paid well for the work he does for the city; however, it�s the intrinsic motivation he has demonstrated that separates him from many other government officials.

Over 6,000 cars cover the Gulf Coast
Few events can compare with Cruisin' the Coast. The event involves three counties, six cities, 300 volunteers from 13 car clubs to ensure that the 6,169 registered cruisers all have a great time during the weeklong Cruisin' the Coast event. The big show has been going on for 16 years now and it continues to become bigger and better each year.
While the explanation that the event "has something for everyone" may be a bit of a cliché, it truly has it all. First the concept is perfect: take a 30-mile stretch of beautiful Gulf Coast, find six perfect venues for cruising, and then organize it in such a manner that thousands of street rods, muscle cars, customs, and trucks are cruising up and down route 90 to enjoy each scenic cruise point. The coast is alive with hot rods of every description and the concept of actually cruising rather than just parking gives the event a special energy. And that energy carries over into the evening hours as well with the cruising going on well into the night as showgoers enjoy some of the entertainment attractions at the casinos and local night spots. Entertainment this year ranged from Jay Leno to the Beach Boys.
From Ocean Springs to Bay St. Louis, the cruise locations all had shops, restaurants, and live music to entertain the folks. The casino night life provides great eats, entertainment, and for those so inclined, the gambling never stops, and of course walking the white sandy beaches is a great way to pass the time.
For the first several years this was a three-day event, but today Cruisin' the Coast has morphed into a weeklong happening and the October weather makes it the perfect time to enjoy the Gulf Coast. This year it was 100 percent pure roadster weather for the entire week and top down cruising was the order of the day. While the event began on Sunday, October 7, it builds in intensity until the following weekend when the coast is literally overrun with cars. Friday October 12 through Sunday the 14 were the big days, but there is so much to see and do in the area that many hot rodders are opting to spend the entire week there. The more casual first two days make cruising easier and allow time later in the week to take in the swap meet, the car corral, a big auto auction, and to watch the Mississippi Heritage Aviation Museum do their fly-by salute in vintage aircrafts. Then you can cruise to the Biloxi block party, Gulfport Cruise Central, and park at the Edgewater Mall for a while before heading to D'Iberville and scenic Bay St. Louis.
Yes, there truly is something for everyone at this event. It has become a true hot rod vacation destination and we noticed a lot more families and wives along to enjoy the area. The complete absence of a fairgrounds and the ability to eat at local restaurants and enjoy the gulf seafood only adds to the fun. Yes, Cruisin' the Coast is all of that and more, we've put this one down on our list of best events and plan on returning to enjoy it again. The 17th Annual Cruisin' the Coast will take place October 6-13, 2013. Early registration and information is available at www.cruisinthecoast.com.

text: Wins in a row by a now surprising Houston Rockets team. They have 10 straight wins since Yao Ming got injured. It was a delight watching this team close out the Lakers especially since my alternative was the Big Ten tournament. Shane Battier played some stifling defense on Kobe throughout the game and especially during the last five minutes. Rafer Alston had a huge game with a career-high 31 points. Bobby Jackson only missed two shots all game. Although Tracy McGrady's line doesn't look great, he did play well to close out the Lakers. These guys are playing with so much confidence right now. They're so high that Dikembe Mutombo was as giddy as a 4-year-old on the sidelines.
