Souvenirs, gifts, regional products - air passengers carry a wide range of goods with them. You can find out more about what you can and cannot take out of or bring into Germany on the website of the German Customs Administration. Are there any restrictions on values or quantities? What goods can only be brought in in small quantities or are completely banned? How much duty will I have to pay if I exceed the permitted allowances? You can find answers to these and many more questions at:
Customs officers checking inbound passengers' baggage often find souvenirs made out of endangered plants or animals. The consequences for passengers are unpleasant, but the damage to nature is irreversible. The German Customs Administration and the German Federal Agency for Nature Conservation can tell you which protected animals and plants and products made from them you could be offered for sale in different holiday countries. Caution is also advised when collecting shells or plants on a stroll along the beach or a walk in the country.
Endangered plants and animals know no borders
Seltene Muscheln und Schnecken gehören zu den verbotenen Urlaubssouvenirs.

Integrating Flex and Rails with RubyAMF
Location: Pavilion 9 - 10 Level:
One of the coolest things about Rails, besides the obvious, is that you get a multi-format client almost for free. RubyAMF is a Rails plug-in that allows easy and fast integration between Flex applications and Rails using Adobe's open format for transferring typed data to and from Flash applications. In this session we'll walk through building a Flex application powered by a Rails back-end service. We'll see how to work with translation to native objects in both directions, working with hierarchical data and more advanced configuration options. We'll be expounding on some topics covered in "Flex on Rails: Building Rich Internet Applications with Adobe Flex 3 and Rails 2," a new book from Addison Wesley co-authored by the speaker.

On any given day he may be working with Flex, Java, Rails, Maven, Ant, Ruby, or shell scripts. Tony has contributed to and developed on many community projects, such as RubyAMF. He's written whitepapers, including one on Flex and Live Cycle Data Services, and is currently co-authoring a book on Flex and Rails. This year Tony has spoken at 360|Flex and Adobe MAX, as well as local user groups.
Tony is interested in all levels of usability and experience design, from the database to the server to the glass.

Comments on this page are now closed.
@Doug – thanks for the comment. That's good feedback because that would have been a different talk altogether. I didn't expect maybe people to come that hadn't used Flex at all. Maybe I'll submit a talk in that direction next year.
Given that most of the audience was from the Rails side, I would have expected the talk to focus more on why we should care about Flex and what great things it can do, and oh, by the way, RubyAMF allows you to integrate the two easily. I don't think we even saw a working Flex app other than the scaffolding. Instead we got a highly technical, and frankly quite dry configuration tutorial. The content was way over the heads of most in attendance.

EO is designed to combat imminent interruption in oil supplies
Paul Joseph Watson
Wednesday, March 21, 2012
Some analysts fear that the Obama administration's recently passed executive order represents more than just a power grab and could in fact be part of preparations for a war with Iran.
As we documented earlier this week, the "National Defense Resources Preparedness" executive order, an update to similar EO's passed under previous presidents, empowers the federal government to seize control of the farming industry, "all forms of energy," all "water resources", "all forms of civil transportation", all health resources, and "all other materials, services, and facilities, including construction materials."
However, a key addition to the language made by Obama is that all these industries and means of production can be seized "under both emergency and non-emergency conditions".
This represents an effort to lay the groundwork for the complete nationalization of the U.S. economy.
It could also mean the Obama administration is now on a war footing for an imminent conflict with Iran, according to market analysts.
The order "is either a serious power grip or another sign that inside the deep recesses of the White House, they are preparing for war," Phil Flynn, an energy analyst at PFGBest, told MarketWatch.
The executive order mandates that departments of the federal government related to defense "be prepared, in the event of a potential threat to the security of the United States, to take actions necessary to ensure the availability of adequate resources and production capability, including services and critical technology for national defense requirements."
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
- {openx:74}
Despite White House spokesman Jay Carney brushing the executive order aside as a "routine piece of business," New York Times best-selling author Edwin Black writes that its passage signals, "Obama may have quietly placed the United States on a war preparedness footing, perhaps in anticipation of an outbreak of war between Israel, the West, and Iran."
Pointing out that the executive order is clearly designed to combat an imminent interruption in oil supplies to the United States, Black writes that the move is a precursor to any potential closure of the Strait of Hormuz, "which would obstruct some 40 percent of the world's seaborne oil, some twenty percent of the global supply, and about 20 percent of America's daily needs."
With the US positioning three aircraft carriers along with numerous anti-mine ships in the Strait of Hormuz, the threat to oil markets of any potential attempt by Iran to close the key oil choke point is being tackled head on.
In addition, the recent speculation that emergency oil stocks will be released by the United States and the UK is also seen by many as a precursor to an attack on Iran.

It started out on a trip to Borneo, Malaysia where I visited family that I hadn't seen in years. Little did I know I would discover a recipe that has been in my family for over 30 years! I found that a number of my family members were vegetarians. Because of their diet, they couldn't find vegetarian snacks that not only tasted great, but also had the texture that they desired. After trying many different ingredients, they found that mushrooms were a great replacement for meat. Not only did it have great texture, but the mushrooms were natural sources of protein, fiber, and antioxidants. After a lot of testing and of course eating, Pan's Mushroom Jerky was born. After my first piece of our homemade Mushroom Jerky recipe, I knew my family had something special that had to be shared with the rest of the world.

Little bit about Berkhamsted
Berkhamsted (/ˈbɜːrkəmstɛd/ BUR-kəm-sted) is a historic market town close to the western boundary of Hertfordshire, England. It is situated in the small Bulbourne valley in the Chiltern Hills, 26 miles (42 km) northwest of London. The town is a civil parish with a town council within the borough of Dacorum, based at the much larger town of Hemel Hempstead. Berkhamsted and the adjoining village of Northchurch are surrounded by countryside, much of it classified as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).
The high street is on a pre-Roman route known by its Saxon name Akeman Street. The earliest written reference to Berkhamsted was in 970. It was recorded as a burbium (ancient borough) in the Domesday Book in 1086. The oldest known extant jettied timber-framed building in Great Britain, built between 1277 and 1297, survives as a shop on the town's high street. In the 13th and 14th centuries, the town was a wool trading town, with a thriving local market. In the 21st century, Berkhamsted has evolved into an affluent commuter town.
The most notable event in the town's history occurred in December 1066. After William the Conqueror defeated King Harold's Anglo-Saxon army at the Battle of Hastings, the Anglo-Saxon leadership surrendered to the Norman encampment at Berkhamsted. The event was recorded in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. From 1066 to 1495, Berkhamsted Castle was a favoured residence of royalty and notable historical figures, including Henry II, Edward, the Black Prince, Thomas Becket and Geoffrey Chaucer. After the castle was abandoned in 1495, the town went into decline, losing its borough status in the second half of the 17th century. Modern Berkhamsted began to expand after the canal and the railway were built in the 19th century.
Colonel Daniel Axtell, captain of the Parliamentary Guard at the trial and execution of Charles I in 1649, was among those born in Berkhamsted. The town's literary connections include the 17th century hymnist and poet William Cowper, the 18th century writer Maria Edgeworth, and the 20th century novelist Graham Greene.
The town is the location of Berkhamsted School, a co-educational boarding independent school (founded in 1541 by John Incent, Dean of St Paul's Cathedral), and Ashlyns School a state school whose history began as the Foundling Hospital established in London by Thomas Coram in 1742. It is also the home of the Rex independent cinema, and the British Film Institute's BFI National Archive at King's Hill, one of the largest film and television archives in the world, which was endowed by J. Paul Getty, Jr.

Prosecutors in the murder case against former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez want the judge to recuse herself.
Hernandez, a Bristol, Connecticut native, was at a pretrial hearing on Wednesday for the first time in court since being arraigned.
Assistant District Attorney William McCauley said he plans to file a motion to ask Judge Susan Garsh to give up the case.
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
He hasn't explained why but referred to a 2010 case he and Garsh were both involved in. At the time, he accused Garsh of being antagonistic to prosecutors and limiting or excluding their evidence.
Hernandez's lawyers said they'll object to a recusal. Garsh didn't hear arguments on the issue.
Hernandez has been indicted in the killing of 27-year-old Odin Lloyd, a semi-professional football player who was dating the sister of Hernandez's girlfriend.
He has pleaded not guilty.
Another issue discussed on Wednesday was the defense team's request for a gag order because of a "torrent" of material that they said was leaked to the media.
"I think this is a case that requires some stronger involvement of the court in limiting extrajudicial statements because I think Mr. Hernandez's right to a fair trial has already been substantially impaired," the defense said. "I simply want to prevent future damage based on extrajudicial statements."
Prosecutors responded by saying information that they have adhered to professional rules of conduct. The judge cited some reports that mentioned "theories" from unnamed law enforcement sources.
The prosecutors said the discussions, as reported, had not happened and that information attributed to blind law enforcement sources was "blatantly" not true.
The judge asked what steps the state had taken to address where the information was coming from and they said they have repeatedly met with police and others involved in the investigation and ordered that no information be discussed outside of the investigation.
Garsh denied the order, saying that rules of professional conduct prohibit lawyers involved in the case from making "extrajudicial" statements.
Jury selection is likely months away, Garsh said, and the process will ferret out people who cannot be fair and impartial.
Another matter before the court is the defense team's request for preservation of evidence.
The judge asked prosecutors if they are aware of any evidence that has been lost or destroyed and they said no.
The defense said they are asking to made aware should any evidence be lost or destroyed, when and why.
Ultimately, Garsh decided that the state must notify the defense should that happen when it is discovered.
Hernandez took the stand after the attorneys brought up that Assistant District Attorney Patrick Bomberg's wife is a partner in Fee's law firm. Fee said steps have been taken to avoid any conflict of interest.
Hernandez took the stand to take questions and said he understood the charges filed against him and that there could appear to be a conflict of interest, but chose for Fee to continue to represent him.
Hernandez was indicted in August in the killing of Odin Lloyd, a 27-year-old semi-professional football player from Boston who was dating the sister of Hernandez's girlfriend.
He pleaded not guilty to murder and five weapons-related charges last month. His attorneys agreed then that he continue to be held without bail but reserved the right to seek it later. The defense said the state will not be able to prove its case during a jury trial.
Four others, including Hernandez's girlfriend and cousin, are facing charges in the case.

The first budget proposed by Mayor
Filner, who released the budget at 9 a.m. today, is calling for the year-round funding of an emergency homeless shelter, discounted bus passes for school-age children, new computers at branch libraries, additional funding for the arts and financial assistance for some of the city's oldest retired workers.
The mayor is also setting aside an extra $4 million for public safety spending that will expand the number of police recruits per academy, bolster lifeguard and fire dispatch staffing and acquire a $500,000 cliff rescue vehicle.
Overall, his budget would slightly increase spending over the current year.
Filner's budget plan avoids any significant cuts with one notable exception. He has proposed slashing $1.4 million, or the equivalent of 13 full-time employees, from the City Attorney's Office.
Filner, a Democrat, and City Attorney Jan Goldsmith, a Republican, have been at loggerheads over several issues since the mayor took office in December.
In an interview, Filner said he would have liked to have done more with his first budget, but he had to face economic realities.
"We wanted to move much faster," he said in an interview with U-T San Diego. "The $40 million just put a crimp in all that stuff and we have to move slower. It was unfortunate that these … meteorites have hit the budget and we couldn't do as much as we wanted to."
The budget gap of $38.4 million that Filner had to close in the $1.2 billion operating budget that begins July 1 is largely attributed to the large upfront costs of the voter-mandated switch from pensions to 401(k)s for most new hires — which is expected to save money in the long run — along with the end of redevelopment and investment losses in the pension fund.
His budget would increase general fund spending by $36.4 million, or about 3 percent. It also calls for adding 60 full-time positions, from maintenance workers to planners to lifeguards.
Outgoing Mayor
Filner is proposing to close the deficit in part by tapping one-time monies such as the nearly $22 million from a fire settlement with
Filner said he understands the criticism that comes with using one-time money for ongoing expenditures but noted that future revenue projections look good for the city and a budget surplus is expected down the road.
Some of Filner's priorities
• Financial assistance to oldest city retirees: $1.9 million
• Penny for the Arts program: $1.6 million
• Year-round homeless shelter: $1.3 million
• Increase number of police academy recruits: $1.2 million
• Purchase new police equipment: $1.1 million
• Balboa Park centennial celebration and traffic plan: $700,000
• Purchase cliff rescue vehicle for lifeguards: $500,000
• Additional hourly lifeguard hires: $400,000
• Discounted bus passes for school children: $200,000
• Citywide bike program: $100,000
Source: Mayor's Office
Asked why he targeted the city attorney, Filner said most city departments have had positions eliminated since 2009 yet the City Attorney's Office has seen its staff increase during that period. He said it's reasonable for that department to see reductions like others.
According to city budgets, the City Attorney's Office had the equivalent of 339 full-time positions in 2009 and about 346 in the current year. During that period the office budget has gone from $36.4 million to $43.6 million.
Goldsmith is an independently elected official and therefore has final say over spending in his office as long as he stays within the final budget adopted by the City Council. He could choose to reduce spending in other areas to avoid layoffs.
Filner also wants to breathe new life into a program for the city's oldest and lowest-paid retirees that is expected to run out of cash in October. The city set aside $35 million in 1999 to supplement the pension checks of workers who retired before July 1, 1982, and whose payouts had not kept up with inflation.
The mayor is proposing to spend $1.9 million to cover the program through the coming fiscal year with the goal of continuing it indefinitely for the less than 700 retirees involved. Those recipients receive an average pension of slightly more than $14,000, with nearly $4,000 of that coming from the supplement benefit that would cease without city action.
"We did some relatively small things but will have an impact on the quality of life of people whether it's the emergency shelter year-round, the bus passes, even the bike program," Filner said. "… All of those things are very good for our quality of life."
One such quality-of-life issue is the winter homeless shelter operated by Alpha Project. Typically open from November to March annually, Filner extended it by three months this year and now wants to fund it year-round at a cost of $1.3 million.
There's still a chance that Filner could fund more initiatives this year depending on how labor negotiations with the city's six employee unions turn out. He's seeking a five-year pact that he says would provide labor peace and budgetary savings by locking in salaries. It would require a freeze on pensionable pay — as called for in Proposition B which voters passed in June — but likely include, at some point, the elimination of the 6 percent compensation cuts that all workers began taking in 2009.
If a five-year deal is worked out, Filner said he could possibly avoid using the SDG&E money this year. The pension system's actuary estimates such a freeze would lower the city's annual pension payment by $25 million in the first year, freeing that money up for other priorities.
Other Filner spending preferences that aren't as high profile include $3.2 million for nine additional support staff on capital projects, $800,000 more for community plan updates, $500,000 for tree trimming work and $1 million for the Civic and Urban Initiatives Program. The latter will focus on neighborhood and cross-border issues.
Under the city charter, the mayor is required to release his budget proposal by April 15 each year. Filner will follow up with a May revise based on the latest revenue projections. Now City Council members will review it over the next few months and make additions and subtractions before they finalize it in June, subject to a mayoral veto.

Reprinted from Missouri Education Watchdog:
If you are new to the Common Core Standards battle, below is an article that explains the outcome of the standards. The basic truth of the standards is that they are unproven, untested, underfunded and proponents cannot point to "internationally benchmarked" standards to which they are purportedly aligned. They are a cash cow for those education reformers providing the infrastructure and implementation: new text, new computers, new training manuals, etc. What a great cash infusion into the economy…you've got to love those private companies taking advantage of that public money/partnership opportunity.
The method of making money (not really providing education reform for the sake of education) is in full swing. But look down the road. WHY are we experiencing this monstrous wave of centralized control? It's for the data. The linked article explains about the surveillance of Americans via the National Security Agency (NSA) capturing email information (without Americans realizing it) and the massive storage and infrastructure needed for this activity. WHY is the government keeping your information? Michael S. Rozeff writing in LewRockwell.com:
If we examine the legality of this NSA warrantless surveillance, we will quickly become mired down in abstruse issues of statutory and constitutional law. Let us not go there. That won't give us the central answer to the question of what's wrong with a wide network of government surveillance of Americans, with or without warrants.
It's the same for Common Core Standards. The grab of educational direction by the Department of Education is unconstitutional, but trying to get them out of your state legislatively promises to take several years. Look bigger picture. WHY is the government so interested in establishing common core standards? Like the NSA and the tracking of financial transactions, the tracking of student data will be able to determine your student's place in a managed workforce. Your students will be placed in a position based on his/her data set.
So what's the problem? If Americans want a nanny state, CCSS is the answer to figuring out what type of job your student will secure in the future. No hard decisions for your little one to worry about:
The mandated Longitudinal Data System (a nationwide computer system connected to states using Common Core standards) will be connected not only to other states for educational information, but also to various federal agencies, such as the Departments of Labor and Health and Human Services for information to supply the workforce:
The term workforce is defined as consisting of the workers engaged in a specific activity, business or industry or the number of workers who are available to be assigned to any purpose as in a nation's workforce.
The public workforce system is a network of federal, state, and local offices that function to support economic expansion and facilitate the development United States workforce. The system is designed to create partnership with employers, educators, and community leaders in order to foster economic development and high-growth opportunities in regional economies so that businesses find qualified workers to meet their present and future workforce needs. (Emphasis added)
Your student's data (educational and personal) is to be fed into the LDS to determine his/her strengths and weaknesses. This is surveillance most taxpayers/parents probably don't even know is occurring. Do you remember signing a permission form giving the government the right to share your child's information with a network of federal, state, and local offices that function to support economic expansion? Is this what you envision for your child as he/she sets off for school each day?
The education reformers and some nanny state parents ask: Isn't this a positive service our government is doing to/for our children? Helping our children decide what to do for a job and where to work? Whatever is the problem? The answer: What occurs if your student decides he/she doesn't want to do the job designated for him by his/her data?
What's wrong with the surveillance state? The balance of power between citizens and government in America is already lopsided and becoming increasingly so. The surveillance state opens up new opportunities and new vistas for government control of its citizens.
The biggest danger is that Americans be trained to accept the State's controls over their lives, or that they have a limited notion of what freedom means. In roughly 15 years of training, a new generation can be taught that the State's controls are PROPER and that what the State is doing is RIGHT and for the GOOD of the people. When this happens, further restrictions and controls become easier and a high degree of oppression reigns, and it even meets with a high degree of acceptance.
As you read What's Wrong with the Survelliance State, think how this applies to the intrusion and data mining in education and the real purpose of Common Core standards. If there is no common data mined and shared via state computers to other agencies, this silent surveillance on your student cannot occur…at least in school.
Do you know what the NSA is? It's the National Security Agency. The NSA has collected an estimated 15 to 20 trillion communications involving Americans.
Government spying on Americans and surveillance of Americans are rapidly increasing. The government has forced telecommunications companies to participate. This is being litigated in lawsuits.
Financial institutions must report certain cash transactions to the Department of the Treasury. This is accepted practice. This reporting includes the following and I quote the U.S. Treasury:
"Individuals transporting over $10,000 in currency or other monetary instruments into/out of the US.
"Shippers/Receivers of over $10,000 in currency or other monetary instruments into/out of the US
"For each person engaged in a trade or business who receives over $10,000 in cash in one transaction or two or more related transactions.
"For each U.S. person who has a financial interest in, or signature authority, or other authority, over any financial accounts, including bank, securities, or other types of financial accounts in a foreign country, if the aggregate value of these financial accounts exceeds $10,000 at any time during the calendar year."
Former NSA official, William Binney, says that the government is collecting and storing everyone's e-mails.
"…the FBI has access to the data collected, which is basically the emails of virtually everybody in the country. And the FBI has access to it. All the congressional members are on the surveillance too, no one is excluded. They are all included. So, yes, this can happen to anyone. If they become a target for whatever reason – they are targeted by the government, the government can go in, or the FBI, or other agencies of the government, they can go into their database, pull all that data collected on them over the years, and we analyze it all. So, we have to actively analyze everything they've done for the last 10 years at least."
Asked if this collection were only of those who could be a threat to national security, he said
"It's everybody. The Naris device, if it takes in the entire line, so it takes in all the data. In fact they advertised they can process the lines at session rates, which means 10-gigabit lines. I forgot the name of the device (it's not the Naris) – the other one does it at 10 gigabits. That's why they're building Bluffdale [database facility], because they have to have more storage, because they can't figure out what's important, so they are just storing everything there. So, emails are going to be stored there in the future, but right now stored in different places around the country. But it is being collected – and the FBI has access to it."
If we examine the legality of this NSA warrantless surveillance, we will quickly become mired down in abstruse issues of statutory and constitutional law.
Let us not go there. That won't give us the central answer to the question of what's wrong with a wide network of government surveillance of Americans, with or without warrants.
Binney gives us the beginning of the answer:
"Unfortunately, the state of our surveillance state is: all set, to be turned on for the imperial presidency to do whatever it wants to do."
What's wrong with the surveillance state is (1) that the State has far more power than each individual American has, and (2) the State can and will turn that power against Americans if it can get away with it.
The State is not some beneficent body of men and women devoted to public service who are unselfishly acting on behalf of the welfare of Americans. Barack Obama, Dianne Feinstein, John Boehner, Harry Reid, John Roberts, David Petraeus, Keith B. Alexander, Robert Mueller, and Michael Hayden are not saints. They are not even close.
We have had recent examples of the abuses of power as exercised by George Bush and his administration. Barack Obama continues those abuses and adds more of his own. The Congress continues its many abuses. The Supreme Court continues its abuses. If there is one thing we can be sure of, it is that men and women in the U.S. government have immense power to do many evil and foul deeds, and they have done them, and they will continue to do them.
It is built into human nature and into the nature of the institutions of government that such evils can and will occur, and they must be curtailed or else they annihilate civil society.
The State consists of a relatively small group of men and women with great power, and they will abuse this power if they can, that is to say, if the governed do not control their governors.
The State has organized and official power that we as individuals do not have. The State has the power to make laws and say what is legal or not legal, constitutional or not constitutional. It has the power to carry out and enforce its laws. The State's power also finds acceptance among many Americans.
When there is a contest between some Americans and the State, or when some Americans oppose the government's powers, their means of recourse are not as strong as the State's, not as well organized, not as well known, not as well focused, and not as well accepted. It is more difficult for Americans to find ways to control the State than it is for the State to devise ways to control Americans. The citizens who wish to keep the State under control do not as a routine and accepted matter have institutions that they have built up and used over time to check the State's power.
As government has grown and State power accumulated, the powers of civil society to control the State have atrophied. It is in the interest of the State to diminish those powers, and over time it is doing this. It is in the State's interest to diminish an armed citizen militia and to replace it with a nationalized, centralized and professionalized armed force. It is in the State's interest to replace common law and dispersed courts with a nationalized and centralized system of law-making, law-interpretation and law-enforcement.
It is by no means impossible to control the State, but it's a non-routine and trying task. When the State flexes its muscles and oversteps, legal and electoral mechanisms may be slow and unwieldy and they may fail. The State has staying power.
And so William Binney accurately pinpoints the risk. With a surveillance state in place and with access to information on everyone, the few at the top who run the State and particularly the imperial President, who already is attempting to rule by Executive Order, can do whatever he or she wants to do.
What I envision is creeping totalitarianism, also one can call it democratic totalitarianism. It is a totalitarianism in which a facade of democratic or republican government, call it what you will, is maintained, but the actuality is increasingly detailed and oppressive control over ordinary life. The State will know where you are and what you are doing, and it will have the means of punishing you if you do not obey its rules.
Surveillance is a key component of such totalitarianism. Imagine that the State controls currency and eliminates hand-to-hand cash altogether, replacing it by electronic transactions. These can be monitored and collected. The State can know every item that you buy or sell. The State then can pass a law, according to its whim, that outlaws a certain food or item or service, or it can do the opposite. It can pass a law requiring a certain food or medical procedure. Surveillance gives it the means of enforcing its laws by knowing who is obeying and who is not. The State can turn anyone into a criminal ex post facto by passing a law and then searching past records, communications and transactions to find evidence of their previous wrongdoing. The U.S. Constitution forbids ex post facto laws, but it also forbids fiat money and requires declarations of wars by Congress. Many other constitutional provisions are ignored.
What's wrong with the surveillance state? The balance of power between citizens and government in America is already lopsided and becoming increasingly so. The surveillance state opens up new opportunities and new vistas for government control of its citizens.
The biggest danger is that Americans be trained to accept the State's controls over their lives, or that they have a limited notion of what freedom means. In roughly 15 years of training, a new generation can be taught that the State's controls are PROPER and that what the State is doing is RIGHT and for the GOOD of the people. When this happens, further restrictions and controls become easier and a high degree of oppression reigns, and it even meets with a high degree of acceptance.
Totally free communication is absolutely essential to prevent this from occurring. There must be the capacity to speak freely and to educate all people, young and old, about freedom and the challenges to freedom emanating from the State. If surveillance is used to instill fear of speaking freely or used to control speech or used to prevent people from earning a livelihood or used to tie people up in legal proceedings or used to blackmail people into silence, the threat to freedom at that point is open and severe.
The surveillance State constantly drags its heels and seeks to keep its surveillance secret. There is no possibility of citizens controlling a government when they don't know what the government is doing. If whistle blowers, soldiers and ex-soldiers, government officials and ex-government officials, and media figures are repressed and prevented from making information public, in other words, as the surveillance state seeks to keep its activities secret, the threat to freedom amplifies.
The battle lines between citizens and the State are always drawn. They never go away. The State is always a threat to freedom. The State is always pushing for greater control unless the citizens push back, develop and use means to control the State. Growing surveillance by the State is an offensive operation of the State in this never-ending war. It is up to the citizens to resist the State's surveillance, form ongoing institutions to control the State, form a culture of citizen control, and dismantle the State's capacity for such surveillance. It is that or else surrender more of their disappearing freedom.

Yet Another Hip-Hop Artist to Lecture at Stanford? By Now, It's CommonWednesday, May 19th, 2010
Chamillionaire/QD3. Immortal Technique. Matisyahu. Palo Alto has never before been a hotbed of hip-hop–which is probably why they come to lecture, not perform. Or lecture-slash-perform, better known as lectforming, or just lecturing well.
Perhaps Palo Alto's street cred as a music-lecture scene is going up, because another lecture is scheduled–this time from the rapper Common on Wednesday, May 26. Common is a widely-respected rapper who has more recently ventured into the film world–he can currently be seen in the New Jersey Nets-centered basketball romantic comedy feature Just Wright with Queen Latifah.
More importantly, though, Common does have a history of activism: he is a animal rights-supporting vegetarian (and, according to PETA, a not-to-shabby-looking one). He's also pledged to stop using anti-gay slurs in his lyrics and censored the N-word after prompting from Oprah.
This event, sponsored by ASSU speakers, promises to be "an evening of music and meaning." Sound familiar? Last month, Matisyahu was here to talk about the strangely similar topics of "music and meaning."
The details: Wednesday, May 26th, 2010. 8pm. MemAud. FREE with SUID. Doors open at 7:30pm. Get your FREE tickets Monday – Wednesday (5/24 – 5/26) in White Plaza from 12-1PM. 1 ticket per SUID and 2 SUIDs per person.

A four-alarm fire damaged an historic church in the East Oak Lane section of the city Sunday.
The fire broke out at the Saint Mary the Protectress Ukrainian Orthodox Church on 6629 N 12th Street around 1 p.m. A large portion of the church's roof collapsed in the blaze. The head of the church says that the fire destroyed millions of dollars in furniture, religious art and icons.
"It's a tragedy, but by the grace of God, we'll make it through," said Antony Scharba.
Breaking news and the stories that matter to your neighborhood.
Longtime member Peter Kluk told NBC10's George Spencer that he was just leaving the church when the fire broke out.
"It's painful…but what can I do? I have to accept it," said Kluk.
About 125 firefighters were able to get the fire under control around 3:19 p.m. Crews cut off power to 150 surrounding homes moments after the blaze. Power was restored around 8 p.m., according to officials. Sources tell NBC10 that fire appears to be electrical, starting in the rafters.
"When we went in our firefighters made the attack. When they saw the fire, the fire was high," said Philadelphia Fire Commissioner Lloyd Ayers.
Commissioner Ayers says he called his crews out of the church just moments before the roof collapsed.
Oksana Piliptchouk was married at the church and rushed to the scene after hearing the news.
"It's disaster. It's hard to explain. When we saw the roof collapse and everything, it's hard. It's hard to explain and it's going to take a while," said Piliptchouk.
Saint Mary is one of several Orthodox parishes in Philadelphia. The first Orthodox cathedral was established in Philadelphia in 1897 by a group of Russian immigrants. The 100-member Saint Mary congregation consists mostly of Greek and Ukrainian immigrants, according to a member of the church who spoke with NBC10.
"I was really sorry that this was the church because this is like an icon…it's been here for years," said neighbor Diane McDonald.
Firefighters also battled an earlier fire in the Frankford section of the city that injured two teenagers. The kitchen grease fire broke out around 12:30 p.m. at a home on the 1600 block of Haworth Street. Firefighters were able to quickly control the flames.
A 14-year-old and a 17-year-old suffered burns. Officials have not yet revealed their conditions.

In the universe of serious, meaningful photography, the chance to honor the lives and careers of peers, colleagues and, occasionally, heroes in an end-of-year "those we lost" tribute comes with a grim, one-time-only satisfaction: namely, the opportunity to see, in one place, the work of photographers who would otherwise never, ever be shown together.
Like politics, death can sometimes make for strange bedfellows.
Where else would, say, Cornel Lucas' glamorous Hollywood portraits feel so right alongside LIFE staffer Lee Balterman's edgy depictions of Sixties' unrest? In what other context would a black-and-white image of Nehru by India's first woman photojournalist, Homai Vyarawalla (a.k.a, "Dalda 13"), not seem out of place beside Jim McCrary's famous 1971 Tapestry portrait of Carole King?
Of course, it's hardly just the variety of photographers we lost in 2012 that's so striking, but the cumulative power and excellence of their work.
Dody Weston Thompson, for example, who died in October at 89, not only worked as an assistant with titans like Edward Weston and Ansel Adams, but collaborated for years with her husband, Brett Weston. Over a five-plus-decade career, from the 1940s into the early 2000s, she forged friendships with many of the signature artists of the century (Minor White, Imogen Cunningham, Georgia O'Keeffe and others) while always doggedly — and joyfully — pursuing her own creative vision.
Another formidable woman, Eve Arnold, died early in 2012 at the age of 99. The Philadelphia native joined Magnum in 1957 and for decades produced indelible portraits of celebrities (Marlene Dietrich, Marilyn Monroe), political and cultural figures (Malcolm X, Jackie Kennedy, James Cagney) and the disenfranchised (migrant workers, prostitutes). Named a "Master of Photography" by ICP in 1995, Arnold lived in England until her death in January.
On staff at LIFE for 24 years, Michael Rougier was, according to magazine lore, the only unknown photographer who ever walked into the LIFE offices and was hired then and there. (He had smuggled pictures of a then-camera shy Eva Peron out of Argentina.) Rougier — who has a peak in Antarctica named after him; he tumbled down its side while on assignment for LIFE in the 1960s — died in January at the age of 86. Another LIFE photographer, Lee Balterman, whose work chronicled some of the signature events of the roiling Sixties (the '68 Chicago convention, the Detroit riots) as well as the beauty and rigor of the arts, died in January at age 91. Ken Regan, who died in late November (nobody seems to have known his real age), made striking portraits of most of the biggest names of the 1960s and '70s, including Dylan, the Stones, Hendrix and Muhammad Ali.
Prize-winning combat photographer Horst Faas, whose work across almost a half-century with the Associated Press helped redefine what war photography could (and perhaps should) look like, died in May. He was 79. In February, another award-winning war photographer, Rémi Ochlik, was killed by Syrian artillery fire while covering the siege of Homs in that country's civil war. Ochlik, a World Press Photo honoree in 2012, was just 28.
The man who won both the Pulitzer Prize and the World Press Photo of the Year in 1963 for his image of a self-immolating monk in Saigon, Malcolm Browne, died in May at 81.
( Read Patrick Witty's interview with Browne, "Behind the Burning Monk." )
More than a few fine-art photographers passed away in 2012. Among them: New Jersey native Jan Groover, whose work has been shown at MoMa in New York, the Cleveland Museum of Art, ICP, the Corcoran Gallery and many other places; the self-taught, Kolkata-born Prabuddha Dasgupta, whose fashion work spanned more than three decades; and Arnaud Maggs, whose conceptual work — and especially his portraits of famous subjects, presented in grid-like formats — earned him acclaim in his native Canada and internationally.
Martine Franck, who died of cancer in Paris at 74, was a Magnum photographer for more than three decades who began her career in the early 1960s, assisting the great LIFE photographers Eliot Elisofon and Gjon Mili. Magnum's president, Alex Majoli, eulogized his friend and colleague with the simple and moving observation that the agency had "lost a point of reference, a lighthouse, and one of our most influential and beloved members."
In September, Pedro Guerrero died in Arizona at the age of 95. For five decades in the middle part of the 20th century, Guerrero (an art school dropout) worked closely with Frank Lloyd Wright, chronicling the architect's projects in photographs.
French-born Michelle Vignes, who co-founded the International Fund for Photography and Fotovision, worked as a photo editor in the early days at Magnum and was among the most important chroniclers of the pivotal social movements of the 1960s and '70s (the American Indian Movement's occupation of Wounded Knee; the Black Panthers; Vietnam War protests), died in October at 86.
Richard Gordon, whose pictures are in the permanent collections of the Library of Congress, SFMOMA, the Getty Museum, the Corcoran Gallery and other major institutions, died in October in Berkley, Calif., at 67.
Chilean street-photographer Sergio Larrain, who was invited by Cartier-Bresson to join Magnum in the late '50s, but abandoned his camera in the early 1970s in order to pursue what became an increasingly solitary spiritual quest, died in February at the age of 80. Another Latin American photographer, the Argentine Horacio Coppola, who was documenting his native Buenos Aires as early as the 1930s, died in June at 105.
Walt Zeboski, who covered four California governors and other political power players in the state, as well as Ronald Reagan's 1980 presidential campaign for the Associated Press, died on November 12. He was 83.
Yasuhiro Ishimoto, a Japanese-American who first learned photography while interned at Colorado's Amache Internment Camp during World War II, died in February at 90. A key figure in the post-war movement (across all of the arts) that saw Eastern and Western sensibilities melding and, occasionally, clashing to such vivid effect, Ishimoto won numerous awards -- including the Moholy-Nagy twice.
A photographer whose fashion work was published primarily in Harper's Bazaar in the 1950s and '60s and who was still working into her 90s — using contemporary digital technologies to manipulate her images — Lillian Bassman died in February at the age of 94.
Known primarily for an iconic image of Beat-era legends Michael McClure, Allen Ginsberg and others outside City Lights bookstore in San Francisco in December 1965 — made when he was just 22 — Bay Area native Larry Keenan worked as a photographer for the next four decades. He was an accomplished commercial photographer, but also made a point of continuing to shoot the counterculture as it evolved from the '60s into the 21st century.
Wilhelm Brasse, a Pole and a prisoner at Auschwitz during the Second World War, was a professional photographer forced by the SS to document everything from the work performed by fellow inmates to the horrific medical experiments conducted by Nazi doctors at the notorious concentration camp.
Paula Lerner was just 52 years old when she died in March from cancer. Lerner, who often worked on commercial assignments to help finance the photojournalism projects that were her passion, was the principal photographer for Behind the Veil, about the lives of women and girls in contemporary Afghanistan.
In a career spanning 50 years, South Africa's Alf Kumalo tirelessly (and artfully) chronicled the abuses of apartheid. He died in October at 82.
Known primarily for her pictures documenting the women's movement of the 1970s and its high-profile leaders (Steinem, Friedan, Abzug), Bettye Lane also covered other people and events of the fraught era, including antiwar rallies and the stirrings of the modern environmental movement. She died in Manhattan in September at 82.
Architectural photographer Susan Carr died in early September in Chicago. A leader of the education programs at the American Society of Media Photographers, Carr was 49.
Robert McElroy died on February 22 in White Plains, New York. A photographer for Newsweek for almost 20 years, he was best-known for his pictures of the vibrant art "happenings" of the 1950s and early '60s.
Stan Stearns — whose portrait of 3-year-old John F. Kennedy Jr. saluting his father's coffin in 1963 poignantly distilled a nation's grief — died of lung cancer in March. He was 76.
Juan Antonio Serrano, a documentary photographer and brother of the Ecuadorian Interior Minister, Jose Serrano, was stabbed to death in the city of Cuenca in southern Ecuador. The murder was, evidently, not associated with his photography work. Serrano was 34.

Dear Lifehacker,
I've racked up a good bit of credit card debt, and while I'm slowly paying it down, it's a pain wrangling multiple bills with different interest rates. My credit union is offering debt consolidation loans with a lower rate than any of my cards—should I take that, use it to pay off all of my cards, and only have one, low-interest bill to pay every month?
Trying to Dig Out
Dear Trying to Dig Out,
It's tempting, isn't it? Getting rid of all of your credit card bills, no more annoying multiple payment to multiple creditors, just one, automatic loan payment every month that comes out of your account automatically and you're back on the road to being debt free, right? Well sure—but it comes with a couple of pretty big caveats that might sour the milk for you. Let's explain, and then you can decide whether it's a good idea in your case.
When Debt Consolidation Loans Don't Make Sense
In more cases than not, debt consolidation loans don't make sense. They're certainly attractive: the lure of being able to pay off all of your credit cards is a strong one, especially in exchange for a single monthly payment to your bank or credit union at a lower interest rate. It's definitely a tantalizing opportunity, but it's not perfect. Remember, debt consolidation loans are financial products, which means financial institutions wouldn't offer them to you if they didn't make money from them. Here are a few tips to make sure you're not falling into a trap:
- Do the math on your credit cards and their interest rates, and figure out how long it would take you to pay them all off at your current payment rate. Compare that to the length of the consolidation loan you're looking at taking out. Your average 5 year (60 mo) debt consolidation loan, even at a lower interest rate than your credit card, may cost more over the long haul than if you just paid your cards down faster. Photo by 401(k) 2012.
- Check what your monthly payment on a debt consolidation loan would be. Are you at least paying that much towards your credit cards now? If the loan payment is more than you pay towards your debts (and it fits into your budget), it might be time to up the ante and just put more money to your credit cards. If the loan payment is less than you pay to your cards, you'll likely wind up paying way more interest over time, since your loan term will probably be long.
- Once your cards and debts are paid off, will you cancel the credit cards? Sure, you get credit cards with zero balances and no bills out of the loan, but one of the biggest problems with debt consolidation loans is that they do nothing to change the behaviors that got you into debt in the first place. Instead, they add another creditor to your pile, and fan the flames of going into debt to pay off more debt. If you even think you might be tempted to use those cards again after paying them off, or if you're using debt consolidation as an easy out or way to avoid really looking at your budget, it's not right for you. The last thing you want is to take out a loan, pay off your cards, and then charge up your cards again—now you've done nothing but dig your hole twice as deep.
When Debt Consolidation Loans Make Sense
If you're hopelessly drowning in debt, know that you can't negotiate any lower interest rates with your credit card companies or creditors, or if the math works out, a debt consolidation loan may be a good decision for you. Similarly, if you're in serious trouble with high interest rates, high monthly payments (that you're having trouble with already), and too many bills, a debt consolidation loan might help. Combined with a debt repayment plan or credit counseling, it can be used to pay off all of your debt at a fraction of their original cost. If it may be a good time to strike, pay it all off, and walk away debt-free. Photo by erules123.
Of course, those situations aren't the norm, and most of us with credit card bills looking to get rid of them aren't in that position. That's not to say there aren't situations where debt consolidation loans can offer people who really need them the breathing room to get out of debt and organize their finances. ReadyForZero has a great post on this topic, and showcases some examples of when debt consolidation can be a good choice—and even save you money on interest while getting you out of debt faster.
It All Comes Down to Mathematics and Behavior
It may seem attractive to just take out a nice big loan, pay everyone off, and only deal with that one monthly loan payment—one you can even have automatically taken from your checking account every month—but all you're really doing is paying a financial institution to do something for you that you can do on your own. It feels great not to get a bunch of bills in the mail or fret over who you pay when and how much, but you can do the same thing on your own:
- Start by creating a realistic budget.
- Then decide whether you want to pay highest interest cards first or lowest balance cards first.
- Set up auto-pay so you're paying more than the minimum payments every month, paperless billing so you don't get the bills in the mail (although you should still review them every month), and let your money manage itself.
Still, even if the math of a debt consolidation loan works out in your favor, your behavior may be the real problem. Paying off all of your credit cards and debts with a loan only shuffles the deck chairs around—you still owe money you have to pay, and if you go charging up those freshly paid-off credit cards again, those deck chairs may as well be on the Titanic.
Make no mistake: if you want help with your debt, you should get it. Don't let social stigma or ego get in the way—there are plenty of ways to get on the right track that go further than blog posts and stop short of putting you back in debt to someone else. Debt repayment and credit counseling programs can negotiate lower interest rates on your behalf, or help you do it yourself. They can help you with your budget, and help you plan a route out of debt that turns your credit into a tool you control, as opposed to a monster than controls you. If you need the help, get it—and definitely do that before you take out a loan. Photo by Media Bakery13 (Shutterstock).

The Best In The West: Ranking the Top 20 Teams West Of The RockiesPosted by AMurawa on December 16th, 2013
Roughly a quarter of the way through the year, we're going to unveil something a little new here, something we'll check back in on once a month or so. We're going to take all the schools west of the Rockies (and we're going to be a bit generous with our geography – basically we're looking at schools from the Pac-12, Mountain West, West Coast, and Big West and then some of the schools from the Big Sky and Western Athletic Conferences) and give you the top 20 teams. But, rather than just ranking schools 1 though 20, we're going to divide all these teams up into tiers, in part because calling Arizona #1 and then naming another school #2 just seems wrong, because the Wildcats are just so far ahead of everyone else. Below, you'll see our Top 20 teams in the West (their overall rank will be in parentheses), with descriptions of what we think the teams in each tier have in common, plus brief comments on the teams in our list.
The Best of the Best – In a league of their own.
Arizona (#1 overall, Pac-12 #1) – The Wildcats are in a class by themselves out West. Even when putting together my national top 25, I wanted to put Arizona at #1, leave spots 2-5 empty, and then have a four-way tie at #6. What they've accomplished thus far is unassailable, especially considering how young this team is. Expect somebody (maybe multiple somebodies) in the Pac-12 to put up a serious challenge, but at this point in the season, Sean Miller's squad is not only the best in the West, but they're the best by a long shot.
Contenders to the Throne – And all top 25 teams.
Oregon (#2 overall, Pac-12 #2) – The Ducks are the team closest to joining the Wildcats up top, but while they've got an undefeated record and some quality scalps, they're missing the quality of wins that the Wildcats have. But, as good as Dana Altman's squad has been, they're not even at full strength yet – Dominic Artis and Ben Carter are due back this week.

In 2010, Republicans took over both houses of the North Carolina legislature for the first time since 1870, due in no small part to the spending of a single, very wealthy Republican. As Jane Mayer reported in 2011, "three-quarters of the spending by independent groups in North Carolina's 2010 state races came from accounts linked to" wholesale baron Art Pope. Of the 22 state legislative races targeted by Pope's family and his organizations, 18 fell to Republicans. Yet Pope's bought-and-paid-for legislature had limited reach until very recently thanks to the state's Democratic Governor Beverly Perdue. That all changed last January, when Perdue was succeeded by Republican Gov. Pat McCrory.
With no remaining checks to Republican rule in North Carolina, the state has now become a haven for some of the most ideological — and ill-considered — tea party fantasies dressed up as legislation. Here are just a few of the bills being pushed in the house (and the senate) that Art Pope built:
- Voter Suppression : It's a sad commentary on the state of American politics that once Republicans take over a state, they almost immediately begin enacting laws to make it harder for Democratic-leaning groups to cast a ballot. North Carolina Republicans, however, have embraced voter suppression with unusual enthusiasm. They've introduced voter ID, a common GOP method of reducing turnout among minorities, low-income voters and students. They've introduced Florida-like restrictions on early voting, cutting early voting hours and eliminating voting the Sunday before election day in order to thwart voting drives at African-American churches. And they want to punish parents whose children vote from their college addresses.
- Reverse Robin Hood: A GOP bill in the North Carolina Senate would eliminate all individual and corporate income taxes, and largely replace it with higher sales taxes. Sales taxes disproportionately burden lower-income taxpayers, because they spend a larger percentage of their income on basic needs. It is also far more difficult to create a progressive sales tax than to enact a progressive income tax code that places a lesser tax burden on those who can least afford it. As a result, a similar tax plan in Louisiana would raise taxes on 80 percent of residents, while giving Louisianans in the top 1 percent of income earners an average tax cut of $25,423.
- Shutting Down Abortion Clinics: Another bill in the state senate would add new restrictions to abortion clinics in an attempt to force them to close their doors. Among other things, the bill requires doctors to have admitting privileges in a hospital located within 30 miles of the clinic, an unnecessary restriction that serves little purpose other than to limit the pool of doctors available to clinics.
- Anti-Worker Constitutional Amendment: A so-called "right-to-work" law, which depresses worker wages by cutting back unions' ability to collectively bargain for wages and benefits, is already the law in North Carolina, effectively cutting both union and non-union wages by $1,500 a year. Nevertheless, 34 Republican lawmakers (and one Democrat) sponsored a state constitutional amendment that would lock this anti-worker policy into the state Constitution. The same amendment would strip public sector workers of their right to collectively bargain, and lock in policies making it easier for companies to pressure their workers against unionizing to boot.
- Subsidizing Home Schooling: Eight Republican lawmakers sponsored a bill giving families a $1,250 per semester tax subsidy if they home school their children.
- Judges For Sale: A pair of bills in the state senate would eliminate the state's successful public financing system for judicial elections. Prior to this system's enactment in 2004, "73 percent of campaign funds for judicial candidates came from attorneys and special interest groups," according to the Brennan Center for Justice's Alicia Bannon. Now, it's 14 percent. So public financing was successful in rolling back moneyed interest groups' ability to buy and sell judges through campaign donations, and these GOP bills would throw judicial elections back to the old ways.
- State Sponsored Religion: Eleven Republicans, including the state's House Majority Leader, backed a resolution proclaiming that the Constitution "does not grant the federal government and does not grant the federal courts the power to determine what is or is not constitutional," and then decreeing that North Carolina could establish its own state religion. On the bright side, state house Speaker Thom Tillis announced that he would not advance this resolution after it was widely panned.
The defeat of North Carolina's religious endorsement resolution is a hopeful sign that these bills can be stopped. But it's important to remember that the religious establishment bill was simply a non-binding resolution that amounted to little more than an ideological yawp. The real test is whether efforts to restrict the franchise, target women's freedom, cut wages and enrich people like Art Pope are ultimately successful.

Stop Letting NSA's Defenders Lie; There Have Been Many Significant Abuses
from the don't-let-them-get-away-with-it deptWe've been hearing regularly from the NSA's biggest defenders -- including former NSA boss Michael Hayden, current head of the House Intelligence Committee Rep. Mike Rogers and President Obama -- that despite all of the revelations about the NSA, there hasn't been any evidence of abuses. We've discussed over and over and over again why that's clearly untrue. Over at the Guardian, Trevor Timm has done an excellent job laying out in detail how President Obama and others are simply lying when they say there's been no evidence of abuses by the NSA. He details example after example of abuses that have come to light. Here's just one which shows not just abuses, but a pattern of regular abuse:
For years, as new data came into the NSA's database containing virtually every phone call record in the United States, analysts would search over 17,000 phone numbers in it every day. It turns out only about 1,800 of those numbers – 11% – met the legal requirement that the NSA have "reasonable articulable suspicion" that the number was involved in terrorism.Part of the issue, of course, is that the NSA's defenders, including the President, seem to be trying to redefine the word "abuse" just as they've tried to redefine lots of other common English words concerning their surveillance efforts.
What were the other 89% of the numbers being searched for? We're not exactly sure. But we do know that five years after the metadata program was brought under a legal framework, the Fisa court concluded it had been "so frequently and systematically violated that it can fairly be said that this critical element of the overall … regime has never functioned effectively".
One reason might be that, like many other words, the NSA has a different definition of "abuse" than most people. After LOVEINT was brought up to Director of National Intelligence general counsel Robert Litt on a conference call with reporters, he replied:Even worse, as Timm points out (and as we've discussed in the past), the LOVEINT disclosures revealed that many of those very willful abuses were only "discovered" years later when they were self-reported, meaning that there's a very good chance that there are many more abuses that were never discovered or reported.I'm using abuse in a slightly more limited term. I'm not talking about the LOVEINT kind of thing, but people using surveillance for political purposes or to spy on Americans more generally or anything like that, as opposed to individual people screwing up.Apparently to qualify as "abuse", the surveillance has to be on a massive scale, wilful, in bad faith, hidden from the Fisa court, and it has to about political views. Spying on loved ones or unauthorized spying on criminal behavior does not count.
But, of course, there's an even larger issue. Abusing the programs (no matter how you define that) presupposes the programs themselves are legitimate. That's highly questionable.
With all that said, it's unclear why we're quibbling over whether or not the government truly abused the data it has. The programs themselves are an abuse. A primary reason the founding fathers declared independence from the British was in protest of "general warrants" – the idea that the police could seize everything in a given neighborhood, only to go through it afterwards and find the criminal.As Timm says, we don't allow police to search our homes or listen to phone calls without individual warrants and then say it's okay so long as they "don't abuse" what they discover. We say that those searches themselves are an abuse and unconstitutional. The same should be true of the NSA's efforts. They're all an abuse. An abuse of the Constitution and basic rights.
The Fourth Amendment requires particularized, individual court orders, and as long as the NSA is collecting such a vast database on every innocent person in the United States, and then searching it at their own discretion, they are abusing our constitution.

My letter posted to FBI the day after I called them and than yelled Bloomberg down on CityTime and ECTP Aug. 20!
Asked FBI please help us John Liu asked for a criminal investigation where is it!
I warned the FBI the system would fail.
"Many have long feared that this project could be CityTime 2, and unfortunately that fear has become a nightmare," City Comptroller John Liu said Wednesday.
Liu, who will release his second major audit of the project next week, confirmed that he has asked for a criminal probe .
"Findings from our 15-month audit compelled us to refer the matter to the DA," Liu said.
note from Suzannah B. Troy --- Friday, May 25, 2012 article refers to Liu handing over audit and request -- so we don't have the actual date that John Liu handed in request!!!!!!!
Now politicians speaking up! Now -- why not them?
Why not stop all the mega over-rides? But they didn't -- it was a revolving door of corruption and rewarding a culture of failure. If Mike did that in his private empire he would be poverty level but he and Christine Quinn some how grew richer and their pals!
Aug. 20th. NYC Gov NYPD tried to remove this youtube? Google sided with me kept it up.
14 million we just handed to NASA and we do not have the phone system on 911 working.
Are we going to have the NYPD answer 911 calls on the moon?
Don't forget the real estate deal with a family alleged to have Mafia ties that made a 40 million dollar profit selling NYC gov property in the Bronx for one of the 911 command center--we were robbed on that deal too.
Doitt and OPA as well as Bloomberg mark page his deputy mayors including puppet Quinn and City council could not do simple 4th grade math. We went over budget 1 billion 14 million tax payer dollars trying doing that in Mike's private empire. He would be poverty level homeless."

Comment: My question on this forum about Areas in Ultimate Power, here, never got a response. Since it's down at the bottom of page 2 now, I thought I'd mention it so it isn't overlooked.
For Healing in Ultimate Power, your answer to me here clarifies that Healing should be read as "If you use Healing on yourself, you don't have to make a separate recovery action—your own recovery action is considered to be part of the action required to use Healing"
A) I presume that this ruling in no way affects the bolded sentence below, which limits you to using Healing once a round, regardless of the action required to use Healing. Correct?
B) Assuming the answer in A is "correct", for Absorption in Ultimate Power that lets you use absorbed damage for Healing, can you use Healing twice in a round if you are hit by two attacks that you can absorb?UP wrote:Action: This extra reduces the action required for you to use Healing, but does not affect the recovery action required of the subject. You cannot use Healing more than once per round regard-less. To heal multiple subjects at once, apply the Area modifier.
Essentially, should the limitation from the Healing power be carried over to Absorption (though this isn't explicitly stated in the text for Absorption), or is it specifically intended that Absorption should not have this limitation (because this limitation wouldn't necessarily fit with the flavor of Absorption powers).
