Face Recognition
Latest News/Events
- EPIC Obtains Final Report on "Face ePassport Air Entry Experiment": As the result of a Freedom of Information Act request, EPIC has obtained a report on the use of face recognition on travelers entering the United States at Dulles Airport. The report was obtained after EPIC filed a lawsuit against Customs and Border Protection for documents about the agency's biometric entry/exit program, expedited by Executive Order 13769. As the report was heavily redacted, EPIC's FOIA lawsuit is ongoing. In a statement to the House Homeland Security Committee earlier this year, EPIC warned that biometric identification techniques, such as facial recognition, lack proper privacy safeguards. EPIC has extensively litigated airport screening techniques, including EPIC v. TSA, concerning airport body screening. (Sep. 8, 2017)
- EPIC, Coalition Demand Congressional Oversight of FBI's Vast Biometric Database: Today EPIC and a coalition of 45 organizations urged Congress to hold a hearing on the FBI's massive biometric database and the risks of facial recognition technology. The letter follows the FBI's recent proposal to exempt the "Next Generation Identification" database from Privacy Act safeguards—including requirements for accuracy, relevancy, and transparency. The civil liberties organizations said that "the FBI is retaining vast amounts of personal information and exposing millions of people to a potential data breach." In the EPIC v. FBI FOIA case, EPIC obtained documents which revealed high error levels in the biometric database. (Jun. 23, 2016)
- EPIC, Coalition Seeks Time to Review FBI Biometric Database: EPIC and a coalition of civil rights, privacy, and transparency groups urged the Department of Justice to extend the public comment period for the FBI's Next Generation Identification database. The FBI database contains biometric data, such as fingerprint and retinal scans, on millions of Americans and raises significant privacy risks. The FBI is proposing to exempt the database from Privacy Act obligations, including legal requirements to maintain accurate records, permit individual access, and provide civil remedies. Errors plague the NGI database. In a FOIA case, EPIC v. FBI, EPIC obtained documents, which showed that the FBI accepted a 20% error rate for facial recognition matches. (Jun. 1, 2016)
- Amendment Would Overturn Model Facial Recognition Privacy Law: The Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act is one of the strongest facial recognition laws in the country. Enacted in 2008, the law prohibits the use of biometric recognition technologies without consent and provides for meaningful enforcement. But a proposed amendment would undercut legal protections, exempting facial recognition software from the law. A pending lawsuit against Facebook alleges that the company violates the law by amassing a database of users' faceprints "without even informing its users — let alone obtaining their informed written consent." EPIC has urged a moratorium for such surveillance techniques, pending the enactment of strong privacy laws such as those in Illinois. In much of the world, facial recognition software is illegal. (May. 27, 2016)
- GAO Report: Facial Recognition Technology Implicates Consumer Privacy, But Remains Unregulated: The Government Accountability Office has published a report on commercial use of facial recognition technology. The GAO compiled the report at the request of Senator Al Franken, who objected to use of the technology by Facebook and Google. The GAO surveyed companies, federal agencies, and NGOS, including EPIC. The report explains the technology's privacy risks, but also reports that no laws or guidelines currently regulate facial recognition technology. The GAO also reports that the "extent of [the technology's] current use in commercial settings is not fully known." EPIC has frequently advocated for face recognition privacy laws. (Aug. 3, 2015)
- EPIC Files FTC Comments on Revenge Porn, Facial Recognition Privacy Risks: EPIC has filed formal comments with the Federal Trade Commission regarding a proposed consent order with Craig Brittain, a "revenge porn" website operator. Revenge porn refers to the online distribution of sexual images without the consent of the image subject. Under the proposed order, Brittain "will have to destroy the intimate images and personal contact information he collected while operating the site." EPIC supported the consent order, but urged the Commission to "further investigate the growing trend of companies recontextualizing images, for profit, without the knowledge or consent of the image subject." EPIC also explained the correlation between "revenge porn" and other image privacy issues, such as facial recognition and image-based advertising. (Mar. 2, 2015)
- Patent to Block Facial Recognition Follows Sale of Google Glass: A patent for a technology that shields users from nearby video cameras has emerged. The patent describes a detector that would blur the images of people on portable camera displays, preventing video surveillance. The patent surfaced following Google's release of Google Glass for sale by the general public. Google is seeking a patent for a contact lens style for Glass that would escape public detection. Google is also seeking to trademark the word "glass," which the US Patent and Trademark Office opposes. EPIC previously submitted comments to the Federal Trade Commission recommending the suspension of facial recognition techniques pending the establishment of privacy safeguards. For more information, see EPIC: Google Glass and Privacy, EPIC: Facial Recognition and EPIC: Federal Trade Commission. (Apr. 25, 2014)
- EPIC Recommends Safeguards For Facial Recognition Technology: In a letter to the Department of Commerce, EPIC called on the agency to develop a facial recognition framework based on the Fair Information Practices ("FIPs"). The National Telecommunications and Information Administration is meeting to address the commercial use of facial recognition, which has seen a backlash. Google banned facial recognition apps and services and Europe required Facebook to discontinue the use of facial recognition for photo tagging. Today Senator Al Franken raised concerns about NameTag. Senator Franken, in a letter to the app developer, called for the delay of the apps release until best practices are established. In comments to the Federal Trade Commission, EPIC previously recommended the suspension of facial recognition technology until adequate safeguards are established. For more information, see EPIC: Face Recognition. (Feb. 5, 2014)
- EPIC FOIA - FBI Says 20% Error Rate Okay for Facial Recognition: EPIC's Freedom of Information Act lawsuit has produced new documents about "Next Generation Identification" and the FBI's plans for facial recognition. According to the document obtained by EPIC, "NGI shall return an incorrect candidate a maximum of 20% of the time." That number is much greater than expected. Earlier this year, EPIC received documents from the FBI regarding the use of facial recognition and state DMV photos. The FBI has still not updated a 2008 Privacy Impact Assessment on facial recognition technology despite telling Congress last year that a new assessment was planned. For more information, see EPIC: EPIC v. FBI - Next Generation Identification and EPIC: Face Recognition. (Oct. 4, 2013)
- EPIC FOIA - DHS Facial Recognition System Lacks Privacy Safeguards: In response to an EPIC FOIA request, the Department of Homeland Security has produced documents revealing that the agency has failed to establish privacy safeguards for "BOSS" (the Biometric Optical Surveillance System), an elaborate system for facial recognition and individual identification. The documents obtained by EPIC indicate that none of the agency's contracts or statements of work require any data privacy or security protections for BOSS' design, production, or test implementations. The New York Times reported on EPIC's acquisition of these documents, noting also high failure rates for these systems. EPIC is also pursuing a FOIA lawsuit with the FBI over the agency's development of "Next Generation ID," which, when complete, will be the largest biometric identification database program in the world. For more information, see EPIC: Face Recognition, EPIC: EPIC Opposes DHS Biometric Collection, and EPIC - Biometric Identifiers. (Aug. 22, 2013)
- International Police Organization Proposes Worldwide Facial Recognition System. Interpol, the Europe-based international law enforcement group, has proposed an automated face-recognition system for international borders. Such a system could require travelers to undergo face scans, and make the information available to numerous countries. An Interpol face-recognition database would permit Interpol member nations to search records containing travelers' personal biometric information, and could be used in conjunction with travel watch lists. The inaccuracy of facial recognition technology has repeatedly been criticized. Privacy watchdogs have questioned the efficacy and wisdom of government programs that collect ever-more personal information at border crossings. "We need to get our data to the border entry points. There will be such a large role in the future for fingerprints and facial recognition," said Mark Branchflower, head of Interpol's fingerprint unit. (Oct. 20, 2008)
- Companies Use Surveillance Cameras for Advertising Studies. Surveillance cameras have long been used as anti-crime devices. However, companies are now seeking to use surveillance cameras to watch people for advertising research. In Germany, developers are placing video cameras into street advertisements and attempting to discern people's emotional reactions to the ads. Dutch researchers are using experimental emotion-recognition software to test individuals' reactions to advertisements and marketing. (July 10, 2007)
- Federal Air Marshals to Surreptitiously Photograph Travelers. The US Department of Homeland Security is investing in face recognition technology so that federal marshals can surreptitiously photograph people in airports, bus and train stations, and elsewhere to check whether they are in terrorist databases. The Los Angeles police department already is using handheld facial recognition devices. See EPIC's Video Surveillance page. (May 10, 2007)
- British Police Look to Build National Mugshot Database. The Police Information Technology Organisation aims to create a national database of still and video facial images, tattoos, and other imagery linked to criminal biographical information. They are also looking into how they can incorporate facial recognition software into the mugshot database for the police forces of England, Scotland, and Wales. (Jan. 16, 2006)
Facial recognition systems are computer-based security systems that are able to automatically detect and identify human faces. These systems depend on a recognition algorithm, such as eigenface or the hidden Markov model. The first step for a facial recognition system is to recognize a human face and extract it fro the rest of the scene. Next, the system measures nodal points on the face, such as the distance between the eyes, the shape of the cheekbones and other distinguishable features. These nodal points are then compared to the nodal points computed from a database of pictures in order to find a match. Obviously, such a system is limited based on the angle of the face captured and the lighting conditions present. New technologies are currently in development to create three-dimensional models of a person's face based on a digital photograph in order to create more nodal points for comparison. However, such technology is inherently susceptible to error given that the computer is extrapolating a three-dimensional model from a two-dimensional photograph.
Throughout the nation and the world, the debate on the privacy implications of face recognition and other surveillance technologies is heating up. In January 2001, the city of Tampa, Florida used the technology to scan the faces of people in crowds at the Super Bowl, comparing them with images in a database of digital mug shots. Privacy International subsequently gave the 2001 Big Brother Award for "Worst Public Official" to the City of Tampa for spying on Super Bowl attendees. Tampa then installed cameras equipped with face recognition technology in their Ybor City nightlife district, where they have encountered opposition from people wearing masks and making obscene gestures at the cameras. In late August 2001, a member of the Jacksonville, Florida City Council proposed legislation to keep the technology out of Jacksonville.
The Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services gave a $150,000 grant to the city of Virginia Beach in July 2001, to help the city obtain face recognition cameras to look for criminal suspects and missing children. Although officials had initially expressed mixed feelings about the technology, the city council voted on November 13 to install the software at the oceanfront. To fully fund the system, the city must pay an additional $50,000.
In the wake of the September 2001 terrorist attacks on the U.S., privacy advocates, citizen groups, political leaders, and the manufacturers of the technology itself are debating whether these technologies should be more widely used, and if so, how they should be regulated to protect the privacy of the public. Some airports are considering installing face recognition cameras as a security measure. However, T.F. Green International Airport in Providence, Rhode Island, one of the first airports to consider it, decided in January 2002 that they would not install it after all, citing the possibility of false matches and other technological shortcomings of facial recognition systems.
Subsequently, in August of 2003, the Tampa Police Department scrapped Ybor City's facial-recognition system, citing the system's ineffectiveness as bearing heavily on their decision. Virginia Beach's system is still in place, however, it has never produced a match or arrest since its installation in 2002. Boston's Logan Airport ran two separate facial recognition system tests at its security checkpoints using volunteers posing as terrorists over a three-month period and posted disappointing results. Throughout the testing period, the systems correctly identified the volunteers 153 times and failed to identify the volunteers 96 times. As a result of the lackluster success rate of only 61.4 percent, the airport decided to explore other technologies for securing its checkpoints
Recently, the focus on facial recognition systems has shifted to its use as a way to secure borders. The United States Visitor and Immigrant Status Indicator Technology (US-VISIT) program requires visitors of the United States to provide fingerprints and a digital photograph at their port of entry. US-VISIT then interfaces with the Automated Biometric Identification System (IDENT) database to check and see if the visitor is a "person of interest." Similarly, the Real ID Act of 2005 would include an integrated computer chip in every driver's license issued after May 2008 that contains a digital photograph, which could be used for facial recognition purposes.

Previous Top News
- FBI Performs Massive Virtual Line-up by Searching DMV Photos: Through a Freedom of Information Act request, EPIC obtained a number of agreements between the FBI and state DMVs. The agreements allow the FBI to use facial recognition to compare subjects of FBI investigations with the millions of license and identification photos retained by participating state DMVs. EPIC also obtained the Standard Operating Procedure for the program and a Privacy Threshold Analysis that indicated that a Privacy Impact Assessment must be performed, but it is not clear whether one has been completed. EPIC is currently suing the FBI to learn more about its development of a vast biometric identification database. For more information, see EPIC: Face Recognition and EPIC: Biometric Identifiers. (Jun. 17, 2013)
- Google Bans Facial Recognition Glass Apps: Google announced that it will not approve any facial recognition apps for Google Glass, pending the development of privacy safeguards. "[W]e won't add facial recognition features to our products without having strong privacy protections in place," the company said in a blog post. In comments on facial recognition to the Federal Trade Commission last year, EPIC recommended that the Federal Trade Commission enforce Fair Information Practices against commercial actors when collecting, using, or storing facial recognition data. "In the absence of guidelines and legal standards, EPIC recommends a moratorium on the commercial deployment of facial recognition techniques," EPIC wrote to the FTC in early 2012. For more information, see EPIC: Facial Recognition and EPIC: Federal Trade Commission. (Jun. 3, 2013)
- EPIC Sues FBI to Obtain Details of Massive Biometric ID Database: EPIC has filed a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against the FBI to obtain documents about "Next Generation Identification", a massive database with biometric identifiers on millions of Americans. The EPIC lawsuit follows the FBI's failure to respond to EPIC's earlier FOIA requests for technical specifications and contracts. According to EPIC's complaint, "When completed, the NGI system will be the largest biometric database in the world." NGI aggregates fingerprints, DNA profiles, iris scans, palm prints, voice identification profiles, photographs, and other identifying information. The FBI will use facial recognition to match images in the database against facial images obtained from CCTV and elsewhere. For more information, see EPIC v. FBI - Next Generation Identification, EPIC: Biometric Identifiers and EPIC: Face Recognition. (Apr. 8, 2013)
- Federal Trade Commission Proposes "Best Practices" for Facial Recognition Technology: The Federal Trade Commission has released a report recommending practices that businesses using facial recognition technology should follow in order to protect the privacy and security of consumers. The report noted that facial recognition techniques range from simple face detection to the identification of previously anonymous individuals. The FTC recommended several practices for all businesses, such as privacy by design, data deletion, and security standards. In services involving facial recognition to identify individuals, the FTC recommended that companies obtain the affirmative express consent of consumers, and in certain sensitive locations, such as health care facilities, the FTC said that the technology should not be used at all. In earlier comments to the Commission, EPIC recommended a moratorium on the use of facial recognition until adequate privacy safeguards are developed. A similar recommendation is found in the Madrid Privacy Declaration, which is endorsed by more than 100 civil society organizations worldwide. Facebook has ended the use of facial recognition in the European Union and suspended use in the United States. For more information, see EPIC: Face Recognition and EPIC: Federal Trade Commission. (Oct. 22, 2012)
- Facebook Ceases Facial Recognition in European Union: The Irish Data Protection Commissioner issued a report finding that Facebook has implemented many of the Commissioner's recommendations, such as halting the automatic use of facial recognition through "tag suggestions." Facebook has agreed to give users the choice over the use of facial recognition, to grant users access to their facial recognition template, and to delete the facial recognition data of EU citizens by October 15. The report also found that Facebook had implemented recommendations for improving transparency, enhancing the ability for users to delete data, and allowing users to access their data. On recommendations concerning user education, data deletion, and as targeting based on sensitive terms, the report found that "full implementation has not yet been achieved but is planned to be achieved by a specific deadline." The Federal Trade Commission recently adopted a proposed settlement with Facebook that prohibits Facebook from changing privacy settings without the affirmative consent of users or misrepresenting the privacy or security of users' personal information. In November 2011, EPIC recommended that the FTC prevent Facebook from creating facial recognition profiles without users' consent. In February 2012. EPIC recommended "the suspension of facial recognition technology deployment until adequate safeguards and privacy standards are established." For more information, see EPIC: Federal Trade Commission and EPIC: Facebook and Facial Recognition. (Sep. 21, 2012)
- EPIC Recommends Protections for Use of Commercial Facial Recognition Technology: In a statement for the record, EPIC called on the Senate Subcommittee on Privacy, Technology, and the Law to protect the ability of individuals to control the disclosure of their identity. The hearing on "What Facial Recognition Technology Means for Privacy and Civil Liberties" will feature witnesses from the government, private companies, and academia. EPIC recommended that Fair Information Practices ("FIP") be enforced against companies that collect facial recognition data. These legal obligations would include limitations on collection, use, and retention of the data, informed consent, security, accessibility, and accountability. "In the absence of guidelines and legal standards, EPIC recommends a moratorium on the commercial deployment of facial recognition techniques." For more information, see EPIC: Facial Recognition. (Jul. 18, 2012)
- Facebook Acquires Facial Recognition Company Face.com: Facebook announced the acquisition of Face.com, a facial recognition technology company and long-time business partner of Facebook. Facebook uses an automatic facial recognition system, called "tag suggestions," to create a database of users' biometric information. Last year, EPIC filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission, stating that Facebook created biometric profiles of users without their explicit consent, failed to provide a clear mechanism for the deletion of these profiles, and failed to take adequate safeguards to ensure that users' biometric information would not be accessible to government agents and other third parties. In recent comments to the FTC, EPIC recommended the suspension of facial recognition technology deployment until adequate safeguards and privacy standards are established. For more information, see EPIC: Facial Recognition and EPIC: Facebook and Facial Recognition. (Jun. 20, 2012)
- EPIC Calls for Moratorium on Facial Recognition Technology: In detailed comments to the Federal Trade Commission, EPIC today recommended the suspension of facial recognition technology deployment until adequate safeguards and privacy standards are established. EPIC said that facial recognition is often used by strangers to determine a person's actual identity and that this poses a risk to privacy and personal security. EPIC also noted that some companies have adopted techniques that are more favorable to privacy as they allow users to control the image database while others undermine privacy, as the image database is centrally maintained. EPIC previously submitted a complaint to the FTC about Facebook's use of facial recognition technology to build a secret database of users' biometric data and allowing the company to automatically tag users in photos. The comments follow an FTC workshop exploring the privacy and security issues raised of facial recognition technology. For more information, see EPIC: Federal Trade Commission, EPIC: Face Recognition, and EPIC: Facebook and Face Recognition. (Feb. 1, 2012)
- FTC Publishes Performance Report: The Federal Trade Commission has issued the 2011 Performance and Accountability Report. The report summarizes the agency's accomplishments, shows how the agency has managed its resources, and explains how it plans to address future changes. According to the FTC, during 2011 the agency exceeded its privacy goals by providing 52 comments to foreign consumer protection and privacy agencies, conducting 14 technical assistance missions, and hosting one international consumer protection fellow. The agency's privacy goals for the coming year include "issu[ing] a final report on protecting consumer privacy," and "examin[ing] malware and spyware threats to mobile devices . . . and malware distributed through social networks." The FTC report made no mention of several pending complaints, including EPIC's 2009 complaint regarding the changes by Facebook to its users' privacy settings. For more information, see EPIC: Federal Trade Commission and EPIC: Facebook and Facial Recognition. (Nov. 22, 2011)
- Sen. Rockefeller Requests FTC Report on Facial Recognition Technology: Senator John D. Rockefeller (D-WV) sent a letter requesting that the Federal Trade Commission assess the use of facial recognition technology and recommend legislation to protect privacy. Facial recognition technology is being used by technology firms and also police agencies, which has raised civil liberties concerns. The letter cited mobile applications such as SceneTap, which "tracks the male/female ratio and age mix of the crowd [in bars]" and digital advertising at the Venetian Resort in Las Vegas that tailors ads to the person standing in front of the display based on recognition of that person's age and gender. The FTC will hold a workshop on facial recognition technology on December 8, 2011. EPIC's complaint regarding Facebook's facial recognition is still pending before the FTC. For more information, see EPIC: In re Facebook, and EPIC: Facial Recognition. (Oct. 20, 2011)
- FTC Announces Workshop on Facial Recognition Technology: The Federal Trade Commission announced that it will host a workshop on December 8, 2011, on the privacy and security issues raised by the increasing use of facial recognition technology. Facial recognition technology has been used by Facebook to build a secret data base of users' biometric data and to enable Facebook to automatically tag users in photos. The Army has also used facial recognition technology to collect biometric data from Iraqi and Afghan civilians at checkpoints, workplaces, the sites of attacks, and door-to-door canvasses. EPIC, Privacy International, and Human Rights Watch wrote to the US Secretary Defense in 2007 to warn that the system could lead to reprisals and further killings. Police agencies are also using facial recognition to identity political protesters. EPIC's complaint regarding Facebook's facial recognition is still pending before the FTC. For more information, see EPIC: In re Facebook, EPIC: Face Recognition, and EPIC: Iraqi Biometric Identification System. (Sep. 20, 2011)
- New German E-Passports Thwarted by People Smiling. Germany started issuing biometric passports a week ago but problems have been caused by people smiling and visible teeth. Germany has had to issue guidelines warning that people "must have a neutral facial expression and look straight at the camera." Germany, Belgium and Sweden are the three EU countries offering biometric passports. (Nov. 10, 2005)
- Spotlight: Facial Recognition Systems Don't Picture Privacy. This month, Spotlight focuses on facial recognition systems. The Department of Homeland Security has spent millions of dollars on these "smart" cameras that attempt to identify people based on their facial images. However, several tests show the systems are not reliable. Facial recognition systems also create significant privacy risks: the cameras are often hidden and there are no laws to prevent abuse. (Nov. 4, 2005)
- UK Will Have E-passports With Facial Recognition in 2006. The United Kingdom plans to have e-passports equipped with facial biometrics and ID cards early next year. The UK government also plans to include fingerprints in both by 2009. The passports include a microchip that holds a digitised facial image, and has space to hold another biometric if needed. Bernard Herdan, chief executive of the UK Passport Service, said the passports would be phased in by February 2006 and completed by July 2006. (Oct. 25, 2005)
- Pakistan to Use Facial Recognition with Passports. The National Database and Registration Authority of Pakistan is using Viisage Technology's face recognition systems to identify passport holders. NADRA announced this week that it has scanned 34 million images for duplicates in three months. The database was expected to grow to 50 million records once enrollment is complete. (Aug. 31, 2005)
- NY Train System to Adopt New Electronic Security System. The New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority has announced that it is working with Lockheed Martin to develop a state-of-the-art electronic security system to enhance security on its trains by using "intelligent video" to monitor suspicious individuals and packages. The system will be adaptable to new technology, such as devices that detect explosives, measure signs of nervousness and recognize faces. The $212 million dollar system has recently come under criticism for its inability to determine whether an object has been left in a garbage can. (Aug. 23, 2005)
- State Department Requires Digital Photographs. The State Department has decided to implement an identification system for individuals in the Visa Waiver Program that requires those individuals to produce a passport with a digital photograph stored in an integrated circuit chip by October 26, 2006. It is still unknown whether the digital photograph will be used to as a biometric identifier, but many experts have debated the safety of including sensitive information in e-passports that include RFID chips. EPIC has previously issued comments on the related issue of RFID use in US-VISIT. (June 15, 2005)
- British National ID Plan's Biometrics Use Called Flawed. Under the UK's national ID proposal, face, iris and fingerprint scans will be used to identify people. However, studies have found that biometrics being scanned in the wrong type of light or in shadow could lead to a false identification. One problem, a Home Office minister admitted, is that people with brown eyes could experience difficulties using the national ID cards. The cost of a combined passport and ID card, is estimated at £93 each. The UK House of Commons last week passed the national ID bill; it now moves to the House of Lords. (Oct. 24)
- Report: Costly National ID Scheme An Unfunded Mandate. The National Conference of State Legislatures, a bipartisan group, today released a report documenting pending legislation that pre-empts state authority, including the national ID card created by the recently passed REAL ID Act. NCSL officials estimate the national ID scheme could cost states $13 billion as they try to restructure motor vehicle offices. "The REAL ID Act handcuffs state officials with unworkable, unproven, costly mandates that compel states to enforce federal immigration policy rather than advance the paramount objective of making state-issued identity documents more secure and verifiable, " Sen. Michael Balboni said, in announcing the report. The new ID cards will include biometrics, including digital photographs that can be linked up to facial recognition systems. (Aug. 16)
- UK Identity Card Bill Introduced in Parliament. The Labour Party introduced its Identity Cards bill in the House of Commons on Monday. The bill, which may cost £18B ($32.6B) over the next 10 years, provides for ID cards that will be tied to the National Identity Register, also established by the bill. As the bill's Explanatory Note states, in the first stage only individuals who apply for "Designated Documents" will be required to register, though the bill provides authority for the government to make registration compulsory for all UK residents. The National Identity Register may eventually include name, date of birth, residence, and immigration status, as well as biometric information and personal history of every individual in the UK. The bill was initially introduced in the House of Parliament last November, but was withdrawn in April pending the outcome of the May 6 general election. (June 2)
- Congress Passes Controversial ID Bill Without Debate. The Senate yesterday approved the supplemental military spending bill to which the REAL ID Act had been attached. The legislation mandates federal identification standards and requires states DMVs, which have become the targets of identity thieves, to collect sensitive personal information. The new ID cards will include digital photographs that can be linked up to facial recognition systems. Legislators in both parties urged debate and more than 600 organizations opposed the legislation. (May 11)
- Spotlight: Federal Grants Fund Surveillance Cameras in Nation's Cities. This month, Spotlight on Surveillance turns to the $2 billion that the Department of Homeland Security will provide to state and local governments. Some of this money will be for surveillance cameras that watch people in shopping centers and on public streets, and may even look into homes. Such cameras can be linked to facial recognition systems. Studies have found that such surveillance systems have little impact on crime, and that it is more effective to place officers on the streets and improve lighting in high-crime areas. (May 2)
- Sweeping ID Bill Faces Opposition in the Senate. A bipartisan coalition of senators is urging debate on a bill that would establish a federal mandate for identification standards across the United States. The REAL ID Act would impose technological standards and verification procedures on the states, many of which are beyond the current capacity of the federal government. The bill is opposed by the National Governors Association, the National Conference of State Legislatures, the Council of State Governments, and the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators. Sen. Richard Durbin also expressed concern this week that REAL ID would repeal earlier legislation that contained "carefully crafted language -- bipartisan language -- to establish standards for States issuing driver's licenses." (Apr. 22)
- Facial Recognition Linked to Mobile Phones. New software allows personal digital assistants, mobile phones or other handheld devices to use a built-in camera to recognize the face of their owner. The Okao Vision Face Recognition Sensor software by Omron is compatible with the Symbian, Binary Runtime Environment for Wireless, Linux and Itron operating systems. (Mar. 1, 2005)
- Homeland Security Adopts New Facial Recognition Standard. The Department of Homeland Security has adopted a standard developed by the International Committee for Information Technology Standards (INCITS). The standard (INCITS 385) will be used to as the technical criteria for designing equipment such as cameras and software for facial recognition. (Oct. 28, 2004)
- CATO Institute Holds Biometrics Event. The Cato Institute will be holding an event called "Eye in the Sky and Everywhere Else: Do Biometric Technologies Violate Our Rights?" Speakers included Frances Zelazny, Visionics; Dorothy Denning, Georgetown University; Marc Rotenberg, EPIC; and John D. Woodward, Jr., RAND. (Jan. 24, 2002)
- Watch the Watchers. An international coalition composed of artists, scientists, engineers, scholars, and others declared December 24 to be "World Subjectrights Day", or "World Sousveillance Day", a day to watch the watchers. Passengers are encouraged to photograph cab drivers, customers to photograph shopkeepers, citizens to photograph the police, etc. There is also a photo competition encouraging participants to send in pictures for inclusion in a national face recognition database. (Dec. 2001)
- EPIC Event to Explore Privacy Implications of New ID Systems. EPIC holds National Press Club event where experts Whitfield Diffie, Jeffrey Rosen, Richard Smith, Robert Ellis Smith, John Woodward, and Marc Rotenberg discuss privacy issues relating to security and surveillance technologies.

"Barack Obama, you just won a second term. What are you doing next?"
"I'm going to Istanbul!"
Today, Frank Ricciardone, the U.S. ambassador to Turkey, announced that Obama's first trip of his second term will be to Turkey, a country which has witnessed under its increasingly Islamist government an unprecedented roll back of basic freedoms. The Turks are looking at Obama's choice as an endorsement. They are probably right. On top of this, Ricciardone's announcement comes right after Turkey's Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan announced that he would soon travel to Gaza, in recognition and support of Hamas.
Let's take a look back on a happier time, when quarterback Phil Simms became the first to respond to the famous question after the New York Giants won Super Bowl XXI in January 1987.
UPDATE: Obama may not be going either to Istanbul or Disney World. In an email this morning, Michael Rubin notes that "it looks like Ricciardone is walking back his earlier statement–i hadn't misread [the Turkish news report linked in his post]; they changed the story." The current story reported by the Turkish news is here. (Thanks to reader David Weinstein.)

Dance at Bougival
Pierre-Auguste Renoir (French, 1841–1919)
181.9 x 98.1 cm (71 5/8 x 38 5/8 in.)
Accession Number
Medium or Technique
Oil on canvas
On View
Sidney and Esther Rabb Gallery (Gallery 255)
The open-air cafés of suburban Bougival, on the Seine outside Paris, were popular recreation spots for city dwellers, including the Impressionist painters. Renoir, who was primarily a figure painter, uses intense color and lush brushwork to heighten the sense of pleasure conveyed by the whirling couple who dominate the composition. The woman's face, framed by her red bonnet, is the focus of attention, both ours and her companion's.
Lower right: Renoir. 83.
April 16, 1883, deposited by the artist with Durand-Ruel, Paris; November 12, 1884, returned to the artist; February 19, 1886, deposited by the artist with Durand-Ruel and shipped to New York; November 22, 1886, sold by the artist to Durand-Ruel and sold the same day to Mme. Hiltbrunner; June 15, 1889, deposited by Mme. Hiltbrunner with Durand-Ruel; August 25, 1891, sold by Mme. Hiltbrunner to Durand-Ruel and, in September, 1891, transferred back to Paris [see note 1]; January 2, 1894, sold by Durand-Ruel, Paris to Félix-François Depeaux (b. 1853 - d. 1920), Rouen; May 31 - June 1, 1906, Depeaux sale, Galerie Georges Petit, Paris, lot 38, to Depeaux's brother-in-law, Edmond Décap, Paris; by descent to Maurice Barret-Décap, Biarritz, France; 1937, sold by Barret-Décap, possibly through Anthony H. Manley, Paris [see note 2] to the dealers Paul Brame (b. 1898 - d. 1971) and César de Hauke (b. 1900), Paris, for Jacques Seligmann et Fils, Paris [see note 3]; March 19, 1937, transferred from Seligmann, Paris, to Jacques Seligmann and Co., New York; April, 1937, sold by Seligmann, New York, to the MFA for $150,000. (Accession Date: May 5, 1937)
[1] The early provenance and information about Durand-Ruel's transactions is taken from Colin B. Bailey, Renoir, Impressionism, and Full-Length Painting (exh. cat. Frick Collection, New York, 2012), p. 212.
[2] Maurice Barret-Décap owned the painting until at least February 9, 1937, as his correspondence with Seligmann attests. The provenance provided by Seligmann at the time of the painting's acquisition lists the name of Anthony Manley after that of Barret-Décap. The gallery's shipping papers from March 19, 1937, note that it was purchased from Manley on February 13 (year illegible; presumably 1937); Manley also wrote to Seligmann on April 3, 1937, regarding the payment of interest on the painting. It is possible that Barret-Décap sold the work to Seligmann through Manley, that the two men owned it jointly, or that Manley owned the work for a very short period of time, around February 9-13, 1937.
[3] De Hauke was a sales representative for Jacques Seligmann and Co. While he purchased works of art that were sold by the gallery, the ownership of the objects was often officially shared by several art dealers, and the transactions became quite complicated. De Hauke and Brame worked together on several occasions.

Bankers who committed bank fraud deserve to be prosecuted and sent to jail. Enforcement of the law is vital to deter such behavior in the future.
Some of America's best state attorneys general are trying do just that —trying to get justice for Americans hurt by what the FBI called an "epidemic of fraud" by America's banks and mortgage lenders that contributed to widespread economic devastation in the U.S.
Amazingly, officials in the Obama Administration are encouraging a deal which could insulate bankers who broke the law from investigation or prosecution. Officials in the Justice and Treasury Departments have been urging the states to support this sweetheart deal.
- Bankers would be given a free pass for criminal behavior.
- The truth about Wall Street's crimes would remain hidden from the public forever.
- Executives could once again pass the cost of their actions onto others, while "neither admitting nor denying" that they had broken the law.
Please act now. Sign the petition to President Obama: Don't let banks off the hook for illegal practices that led to the housing crisis. Kill the deal and launch a federal investigation now.
Join us in calling on President Obama to withdraw support for this sweetheart deal and begin a nationwide criminal investigation into allegations of fraud by the country's major banks and financial institutions.
More than 11 million borrowers are currently "underwater" and owe more than their house is worth. Millions have already lost their homes, and many of these borrowers are victims of fraudulent banking malpractice— from the peddling of loans with hidden costs, to imposing punitive and unjustified fines and fees to foreclosures undertaken without establishing proper ownership of the mortgage.
Bankers should not be allowed to walk away from the economic havoc they wreaked upon the country. They should be held accountable, so that no one on Wall Street even thinks about playing roulette with people's lives again.

Coudray points out useful applications for carrier-based positives and tells how to put them together for accurate results in screenmaking.
Even with all of the digital prepress software and equipment at your disposal, you may find it necessary to assemble multiple image elements on a carrier or strip base for imaging onto the screen. Often, this assembly of elements can become very complex, presenting the opportunity for any one of a number of different types of errors.
This month, in a departure from the normal digital emphasis of this column, I'll revisit some of the time-tested techniques that can aid you in creating better-assembled composites on carrier bases, which are typically referred to as <I>flats</I>. The techniques you'll learn about are designed to aid in progressive, accurate registration of design elements and their accurate translation to the stencil.
The need for a carrier base
You can use a carrier or strip base for any of several very good reasons. The most obvious is that the image you need to print is larger than the film you are outputting. In order to save on expensive imagesetter film, small elements are assembled on a carrier sheet. Any number of elements can be handled this way, but as you shall soon see, some limitations apply.
One situation when a carrier base could be useful is when you are using a four-color-process image as part of a poster, and the actual separations are considerably smaller than the overall poster dimensions. To save on costs, you could or-der smaller separations and assemble them on carrier sheets in the appropriate positions. The remaining design elements of the poster would then be assembled around the separations.
A variation on this theme would be if you needed to change information in a selected portion of the image based on where the graphics are going to be used. This changing information is called variable data, and it might be used to customize prints for different store locations or perhaps different pricing in different markets.

While the Comic-Con presentation for Peter Jackson's "The Hobbit" went over smashingly, there were some lingering questions in regards to the movies that didn't come up in the public forum. The assembled press however did probe Jackson and crew about some of the issues that many are still wondering about.
First up the reports of Jackson and company having so much material that they could conceivably turn these dual films into a possible trilogy. Asked about the reports, Jackson tells Hitfix that "We have certainly been talking to the studio about some of the material we can't film, and we've been asking them so we can do a bit more filming next year. I don't know what would come of that, whether it'd be extended editions or whatnot. But those discussions are ongoing."
Then of course there's the 48 frames-per-second presentation. With the reviews from CinemaCon all about the presentation rather than the actual content, the clips shown in San Diego were at 24FPS and in 2D so the focus was kept squarely on 'what' was being shown rather than 'how' it was being shown. Jackson tells The Huffington Post that "Hall H, a big convention center, that's not the way to judge it".
He goes on to say the reaction at CinemaCon had a big influence on the decision – "I think the only logical thing to do is to let people see a feature-length narrative film at 48 frames. I don't want people to write about 48 frames. Forty-eight frames can be written about in December. When people can actually watch a full length narrative film, everyone can go to town on 48 frames, because that's the form that you've got to see it in. And if you hate it, you hate it. And if you like it, you like it."

Howard Dean looks like the probable selection for Democratic National Committee chairman. Donald Lambro of the Washington Times thinks that the selection of such a fire-brand leftist will likely hurt the party. Robert Novak and Dick Morris agree. Even leftist Harold Meyerson thinks that Dean "shlepps too much baggage" but adds that it normally doesn't matter who the party chairman is.

A Threat to the "Ownership Society"
The American Enterprise magazine is one of our favorites; under Karl Zinsmeister, it has become a premier public policy publication. So we were happy when Karl asked us to contribute an article to the magazine's current issue, which focuses on the Ownership Society. The March issue is now available, and our contribution, "Broad Ownership Needs Broad Taxpaying," is here. The thesis of the article is that, while giving Americans ownership »
This Is Getting a Bit Tiresome
For the fifth time in the last six months, the Minneapolis Star Tribune and its columnists defamed us today. The miscreant this time was one "Camille J. Gage," who was a student in a class at the University of Minnesota that I gave a guest lecture to last fall. The piece accuses us of a failure to fact-check. The author refers to a news story we linked to last October »
Hillary's conciliatory noises
Suzanne Fields in the Washington Times discusses the reinvention of Hillary Clinton. I haven't had much to say about Hillary's latest act of reinvention — her expression of "respect" for people who oppose abortion under all circumstances — because it struck me as inconsequential. Given her opposition, for example, to the ban on partial birth abortion, it's difficult to see how Ms. Clinton is going to score any points by »
A badly needed book
If you have a kid who has taken American history in high school, you know that a book answering to the description of A Patriot's History of the United States is badly needed. I can't vouch for the one coauthored by Professor Larry Schwekart that has just been published, but Frontpage carries an interesting interview with him this morning. The recently published Politically Incorrect Guide to American History appears to »
Blue badge of courage

An American Ascent
Jonathan Last is the online editor of the Weekly Standard and has invited the three of us to submit columns on a rotating basis to The Daily Standard, the Standard's online site.

Yesterday, I speculated about the future of Europe in a post called "Can Europe Turn the Corner?" In doing so, I referred to a piece in the February issue of Commentary (not yet available online) by Arthur Waldron.

Profiles in disgrace
In Minnesota we've had the opportunity to get to know Senator Mark Dayton up close and personal. In mid-2003 we took a look at the theological musings set forth in the senator's homily ("If we're so right, why are there so few of us left?") at St. Joan of Arc Catholic Church in Minneapolis. The text Senator Dayton chose for his homily was, somewhat surprisingly given the occasion and the »
Democrats Debate Democracy
A reader pointed out this thread at Democratic Underground, where the innermost core of the Democratic Party is on display. Some of the posters, like the one who started the thread, are over the top: All the media keeps talking about is how happy the Iraqis are, how high turnout was, and how "freedom" has spread to Iraq. I had to turn off CNN because they kept focusing on the »
Voting, Not Violence, Is the Story
We knew that, of course. But it's heartening to see the New York Times report that "Voting, Not Violence, Is the Big Story on Arab TV": Sometime after the first insurgent attack in Iraq this morning, news directors at Arab satellite channels and newspaper editors found themselves facing an altogether new decision: should they report on the violence, or continue to cover the elections themselves? After close to two years »

Hail Geraldo
Intending to live blog the first few hours of the Iraqi election, I was actually sleeping in front of the television when Geraldo Rivera roused me at around 1:00 a.m., stating in effect that I was missing the equivalent of the fall of the Berlin wall and the entire civil rights voting rights movement. Thus spurred, I quickly began blogging, starting with this post. Geraldo's adrenaline kept me going for »
Keeping the faith
The process by which we succeed in Iraq (if we do) can be thought of as a series of events by which one party keeps faith with the others. First, we kept faith with the people of Iraq by remaining in force to rebuild the country after we toppled Saddam and carried out our search for WMD. Then, the Shiite majority kept faith by rejecting the radical elements when they »

15 Inch != Ultra
Personally I would put the limit at 14" for anything to be called Ultra. 15 inch starts to become difficult to put into a certains bags/briefcases, which already have papers/notepads/books in them. 15" is a large piece of equipement, 14" just passes the mark.
Even if the thickness were reduced down to 1cm for a 17" its sheer area stops it from looking portable, 17" remains in the transportable range.
15" is the same it doesn't belong in the Ultra range, it will always belong in the portable range due to its surface area
[I wont bother moving into the Ultra/Ultra range or the Ultra Netbook as I am sure that you have already caught the drift ]

I realized I've mentioned my Garlic Alfredo Sauce multiple times throughout this blog, yet I haven't devoted a post to this scrumptious sauce.
Until now, that is. This Alfredo is rich, creamy, cheesy and with just the right amount of garlic. We've used it on Fettuccine Alfredo, Broccoli and Mozzarella Stuffed Baked Potatoes and my Chicken Alfredo Pizza with Spinach and Red Onions, to name a few.
It's really a shame more people I meet don't know how to make Alfredo Sauce, since it is one of the easiest, most flavorful sauces I make.
I haven't always made my own, however. Gasp! I used to buy the canned stuff in the glass jar. Yep, it's true. Then, for the longest time, I used an Alfredo recipe that, when reheated, would randomly turn into a garlic butter sauce, as opposed to the rich and creamy Alfredo it was when first prepared. Somehow, all the white creamy goodness that makes an Alfredo an Alfredo would just up and disappear.
Not cool. This got to be so annoying that I decided to rework my recipe.
After doing so, I found the secret to making, not only a creamy Alfredo, but to having it withstand the test of reheating. Cream cheese! I know, makes you love cream cheese just a little bit more (if that's even possible), doesn't it.
To those of you who don't think it's that big of a deal to just use the canned stuff or the powdered sauce mixes for your Alfredo, try this recipe and tell me it doesn't change your mind. I dare you.
Once you learn how to make Alfredo Sauce, you'll never want to go back. Trust me.
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic finely minced
- 1/2 package cream cheese 4 oz., softened and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 1 cup milk
- 3 oz parmesan cheese grated
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- kosher salt to taste
- Melt butter in a medium, non-stick saucepan over medium heat.
- Add garlic and cook for 2 minutes.
- Add cream cheese, stirring with whisk until smooth.
- Add milk, a little at a time, whisking until smooth.
- Stir in parmesan and pepper.
- Season with kosher salt, if needed. Remove from heat when sauce reaches desired consistency. Sauce will thicken quickly.

What vegetables have similar nutritional qualities as cruciferous vegetables?
Q. I have hypothyroism and I have been using kale for juicing. I just learned that I need to not use cruciferous vegetables. What do you suggest I use that has similar nutritional qualities? thanks jean
A. Cruciferous vegetables have some unique characteristics, but plenty of other vegetables (and fruit) are great too, like beets, spinach, leafy lettuces, carrots, peppers, onions, and asparagus. Every fruit/vegetable has its own unique set of vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients so it's best to 'mix it up' so that you get a variety every day to be sure you get all of the beneficial compounds. Cruciferous vegetables do contain goitrogens, which in large amounts can suppress thyroid function, but cooking the vegetables reduces that impact.

UPDATED: What the Hell Went on Between Boston's Teamsters and the 'Top Chef' Crew?
UPDATE, Aug. 21: Teamsters Local 25 have released a statement about the Deadline Hollywood story and vehemently disagree with the details offered by the unnamed "Top Chef'' crew members. The statement reads in full:
Teamsters Local 25 for the last eight years has been a vital part in the success of the film industry in Massachusetts. We continue to support the industry and all the jobs that are created directly and indirectly. The Top Chef situation as it is written is fiction at best. As a union, we have the right to lawfully demonstrate and protest the filming of non-union non-Massachusetts workers. We have fought long and hard to protect our members, their livelihoods and will continue to do so. If the allegations were true Milton Police would have taken appropriate action. Again, Teamsters Local 25 will continue to be vigilant and hold employers accountable when it comes to making sure area standards are upheld, but more importantly to respect the workers that are responsible for their success and prosperity
Original post: Crew members for "Top Chef,'' Bravo's culinary reality show spoke with Deadline Hollywood, claiming that Boston's Teamsters Local 25 went beyond crazy while protesting the production's June shoot at Milton's Steel & Rye restaurant. One anonymous crew member claimed that a Teamster threatened host Padma Lakshmi, telling her "We're gonna bash that pretty face in, you F—ing whore!'' according to the report.
Deadline did not get a comment from the Teamsters, and all the quotes come from unnamed crew members. Milton Police told Deadline it was quite the scene while the Teamsters rallied outside of the Milton restaurant that hosted the program:
John King, Milton's Deputy Police Chief, said the Teamsters were "threatening, heckling and harassing.'' The first officer on the scene, he said, had to call for back-up after the Teamsters "gave the officer trouble.'' Reading from the police report, he said the Teamsters were "hostile, swearing, and refusing to let people come in and out. Officers repeatedly tried to de-escalate the situation.'' When more police arrived, the Teamsters went to the show's hospitality tent and "harassed the crew there.'' When the officers went there, King said, "A group of them slashed the tires on 14 different cars owned by the crew.''
According to Dateline, the Teamsters were protesting because they did not get the contract to do the driving for the cast and crew at the Milton location. Click here to read the full Deadline Hollywood story.

Here are the lyrics and my translation (click image to enlarge) to a song I've been enjoying quite a bit. From the Yuvvraaj soundtrack by A. R. Rahman, and with lyrics by Gulzar. This song has a good amount of English, although I do wish the English lyrics were a little less simple. I'm not even sure how passion and aggression wouldn't be referred to as them (in favor of it), but we can overlook that, because the music and vocals (Sonu Nigam and A. R. Rahman in fine form) more than make up for it. Have included the English lyrics verbatim in the translation column for consistency,. The song, probably more than the rest, also reveals some major bits of the plot, e.g. Anil Kapoor, Salman Khan, and Zayed Khan are playing brothers! Enjoy!

Winning Mega Millions Ticket Sold in Tinton Falls
As the Powerball jackpot grows to record levels, a winning ticket for Friday night's Mega Millions jackpot with an annuity value of $190 million was sold in Tinton Falls. The other was sold in Virginia.
The winning numbers were: 11-15-35-43-49, Mega Ball: 41. Each winning ticket is worth $95 milllion.
New Jersey Lottery officials say the winning ticket was sold at the Kwik Farms store in Tinton Falls, which will receive a $30,000 bonus for selling the winning jackpot ticket. But they said the person holding the winning ticket had not claimed their $95 million prize as of early Saturday night.
The Virginia Lottery, meanwhile, says their state's winning ticket was sold in the Farmville area which is located between Lynchburg and Richmond.
The game, run by the same company that runs Powerball, has not had a jackpot winner since March 12 when one ticket was sold with an annuity value of $41 million.
Angel Guallpa-Mayancela of Orange won a Mega Millions jackpot worth $89 million on January 25.
Powerball Keeps Growing
Meanwhile, Powerball's jackpot rose by $50 million during the day on Friday to become the largest jackpot in the game's history and the world's second largest jackpot at $600 million with a cash value of $376.9 million.
More than 80% of the possible combinations of numbers have been selected according to Powerball increasing the chances of a winner tonight.
It stands as the third largest lottery jackpot in U.S. history. The largest jackpot ever offered was last March's Mega Millions $656 million which was won by 3 ticket holders.
Jackpot On The Grow
There has been no Powerball winner since March 23 when a ticket worth $338 million was sold in Passaic to Pedro Quezada.
Many are playing their numbers at Eagle Liquor in hopes of being the store's second winner. "He's a lucky guy," George Bruno told The Record of Pravin Mankodia, the store's owner. "It's a lucky store. But do you think it could happen twice in the same store?"
The drawing can be watched on WABC TV and WPVI TV.
The odds of a single $2 ticket hitting the correct combination are about 1 in 175.2 million. That's slightly less likely than randomly drawing the name of one specific female in the United States: 1 in 157 million, according to the last census.
The multi-state lottery is played in 42 states including New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York and Delaware.

This group was collected September 4th from Medfield MA, but many such groups were found throughout August and the first part of September wherever Greenbrier was present. These caterpillars rest quietly on the underside of larger leaves during the day, but when they are disturbed they will first undulate their bodies in unison and then, given further prodding, leap of the leaf and hang in mid air. A group of over 150 early instars diving off a leaf together is quite a sight!

Irish Open 1st round, Jeev Milkha Singh Leads the way at Portrush G.C. June 28 2012
Jeev Milkha Singh (Getty Images)
Jeev Milkha Singh leads the first round of the first Irish Open in Northern Ireland since 1953, shooting a marvelous round of -7 under par, 65 at a wet and windy Royal Portrush golf course. The weather did not stop eager fans turning out in huge numbers to see their home town hero's, but they were treated to a special round of golf from the Indian player. Jeev was certainly not complaining about the number following him as he set the pace. Before he teed off Daren Clark had presented him with a bottle of Bushmills single malt whiskey. Jeev was not used to links golf, but it did not show during hiss opening round;
"Growing up, I never played a links golf course. The first time I played a links golf course was when I came for the Open Qualifying, it must have been about 20 years ago, and I enjoyed every bit of it,even though it was really tough. I thought, how can you play courses like this, in these conditions? It's so tough! but now I just love it. I love links golf, you have to hit a lot of low shots and you have to have a lot of imagination. I think a lot of feel and imagination is required, and that's what I love about links golf. The atmosphere and the feel to the golf course is just fantastic. It looks and feels just great."
Jeev was really appreciative of Darren's gift to him;
"Darren presented me with a 21 year old Bushmills single malt, which was very gracious of him. I like to have some whiskey once in a while, especially with my father on Sunday nights. He likes it as well. So I'll sit down with him after the tournament, have a nice chat and have a drink with him. I really enjoy doing that."
There are fout players tied in second place at -6 under par, they are; Gregory Bourdy, Mark Foster, Mathew Zions and Andrew Marshall.
The best Irish player on the day was Padraig Harrington whose good round of -5 under par, 67, got him into tied for 7th place. Rory McIlroy had a quieter day finishing with a -2 under par, 70 for his first round. Graeme McDowell and Darren Clark both had -1 under par 71 opening efforts.
Last weeks winner Danny Willett could only manage a +1 over par round of 73, and will hope to improve his position tomorrow to get above the cut line. If the weather continues to be wet and windy the conditions will only get tougher and only the best will survive.
I have read other reports from the Irish Open, where the reporters do not know the difference between Scotch Whisky, and Irish Whiskey, when writing about Darren Clark's gift to Jeev of a bottle of Bushmills Whiskey.

The app learns your typing style and offers word suggestions by just tapping a couple of letters. The folks over at SwiftKey keep bringing' the heat with their latest Beta that lets users type entire sentences without touching the spacebar.
To do a little housekeeping first, SwiftKey 3 gets a refreshed UI and adds more themes to personalize your virtual keyboard. Now that's out the way, the best feature in this new release is "Smart Space" that will automagically add spaces from long strings of text. Pulled from the SwiftKey blog, you can type something like "Lleasexqllme" and SwiftKey 3 will know you mean "Please call me". You can already skip spaces by tapping the word suggestions that appear at the top of the keyboard when you start tapping letters. With Smart Space, you won't even have to stop typing to choose the word suggestions, just type out your whole phrase/sentence, and SwiftKey will do the rest.
If you just can't wait to try out the Smart Space feature once it's released to the public, you can join the VIP Community and download the SwiftKey 3 Beta now.
You're welcome

Documents: Drug agents plumb vast AT&T database of call records to track down traffickers
SEATTLE – Newly released documents show that for at least six years, drug agents have had near-immediate access to billions of phone call records dating back decades in a collaboration with AT&T that officials have taken pains to keep secret.
The program, first reported Monday by The New York Times, is called the Hemisphere Project. It's paid for by the federal government, and it allows investigators armed with subpoenas to mine the company's vast database to help track down drug traffickers who frequently switch cellphones to avoid detection.
That's a different approach from that of the National Security Agency, which has come under fire for maintaining its own collections of call records.
The Associated Press independently obtained a series of slides detailing the Hemisphere program. They show the database includes not just records of AT&T customers, but of any call that passes through an AT&T switch. Investigators who request searches of the database are instructed to "never refer to Hemisphere in any official document."
Sullivan reported from Washington, D.C.
