Get Involved!
Submissions of articles for GEO are always welcome. Please email us a draft and we'll review it for publication. Submissions are encouraged from writers of all skills levels, including writers with English as a second language. Our team of volunteer editors can work with you to craft your draft into a quality, final piece.
Please consider joining the Writer's Network (see below) as well.
Do you love to write? Would you like to learn more about efforts to build a democratic economy? Do you want to contribute your skills to the growing solidarity economy movement? Then join the GEO Writer's Network!
We are building a network of writers, interviewers, and researchers who are excited to use their skills to create awareness, plant seeds of inspiration, develop visions and proposals, and provide practical information and resources about the creation of a solidarity economy.
Being a member of the network is as simple as this: we'll put you on the Writer's Network email list (a one-way announce list). The GEO Collective will send out periodic calls for articles and other submissions built around specific "themes" relating to the solidarity economy movement. We'll include ideas about specific article topics, including organizations and projects we're hoping to profile, big questions, challenges or opportunities that a particular theme presents, and possible connections the theme might have to other movements and struggles. Members of the Writer's Network can choose a topic from this annoncement, or propose their own topic around the given theme and then develop an article for publication on the GEO website (and possibly in future theme-oriented print publications). Once you've got your topic, we'll pair you up with a GEO editor who will work with you to get your piece to its final form.
We also encourage members of the Writer's Network to suggest issue themes and to volunteer as issue co-coordinators (creating the issue theme overview, developing article ideas, soliciting & organizing articles) with members of the GEO Collective.
When you join the Network, you have no obligation to write for a particular issue. You choose when you'd like to write and what you'd like to write about. We'll keep in touch, sharing ideas and inspirations, and we'll provide support when you do decide to write.
To join the network, send an email. Please include a short bio (this can be informal, we just want to know a little bit about you), your experiences and/or interests in the realm of "economic democracy" or "solidarity economy" (or whatever term you prefer to use), any ideas you have for what kinds of things you'd like to write about. Also, please attach or include a sample of some writing that you've done.
A winning movement is a movement with beautiful art ! We need your graphic design, illustration, comic-drawing, and photographic skills to more effectively document, celebrate and share diverse efforts to build an economy of solidarity, justice and cooperation. Please send us your images and inspirations, or get in touch if you'd like some ideas to get started.
Interested? Email us!

Police Utilizing Private Companies, Exploits To Access Data From Suspects' Smartphones
from the brute-force-attacks-that-don't-involve-SWAT-members,-battering-rams dept
Law enforcement agencies really want to see your phone's contents. I mean, they really want to. Martin Kaste at NPR has a story on law enforcement and smartphones which contains the following quote from a Rolf Norton, a Seattle homicide detective.
"I'm thinking there's probably a wealth of information that just got tucked into your pocket," Norton says. "Something that we'd like to get our hands on."Easy for law enforcement officers to say, but today's phones have more in common with a personal computer than they do with, say, the contents of someone's pants pockets, as the state of Texas memorably argued.
The courts have offered mixed opinions as to whether a warrant is needed to view the contents of someone's phone. This lack of a "bright line" is increasingly problematic as smartphones have become a convenient, pocket-sized data center that can reveal plenty of information that wouldn't normally be accessible without a warrant.
The NPR story deals only with access granted by warrants, but it does lead off with another Detective Norton quote which points out how officers will attempt to separate the ignorant from their (possibly incriminating) evidence.
Once he's seized a phone, Norton says, he often has to return to the owner to ask for help.Refusing to hand over a password shouldn't seem to be a problem, but like the issue listed above, the courts have been unclear as to whether the Fifth Amendment's protections against self-incrimination extends to passwords. This could lead to obstruction charges or contempt of court for the phone's owner.
"Maybe you've established a rapport and you're getting along with this person," Norton says. "We'll reach out to that person and say, 'Hey, your phone's locked. We'd like to inspect it. We'll probably be getting a warrant. Would you give us your password?' "
Just getting a warrant doesn't necessarily make everything OK, either. There's a ton of non-relevant data on any given smartphone, all of which can easily be accessed once the phone is unlocked. Narrowly-written warrants that set limits on what officers can and can't look at are a partial solution, but one that few law enforcement agencies are likely to follow.
Blindly diving into the contents of someone's smartphone exposes a whole lot of information, and if officers aren't exactly sure where this incriminating data is located, they'll probe around until they can find it. Armed with just enough "belief and information" to be dangerous, they'll easily be able to make the case that all contents are "relevant" until proven otherwise. This obviously raises privacy concerns, but again, there's no specific protection in place for these contents, which some courts have argued contain no "expectation of privacy" thanks to constant "checkins" with third party providers and services.
Not that the lack of a warrant or permission will necessarily prevent the phone from being searched. (That "problem" can always be dealt with later in the courtroom…)
Companies such as Guidance Software and Cellebrite sell products to law enforcement that "image" smartphones. The products can pull data off in bulk for use as evidence. BrickHouse Security in New York sells products like this for iPhone and Android. CEO Todd Morris says the handset manufacturers don't support this, so it's a constant effort to keep the forensic software up to date.As Morris notes, cellphone companies aren't cooperating in providing back doors for law enforcement to access phones without warrants. So, like our very own NSA, these companies use exploits to crack phones for curious cops.
These phone-copying systems rely heavily on what hackers call "exploits," or vulnerabilities in the phones' operating systems that can be used to get around the password or encryption.All in all, Apple's phones are more secure than Android handsets. But either way, having to go through the warrant process can mean weeks to months of waiting (if the handset needs to be returned to the manufacturer) for the release of "rescued" data. (Courts have been more reluctant to force defendants to turn over passwords, seeing this as more of a clear Fifth Amendment violation.) Not surprisingly, this turnaround time is considered unacceptable, hence the arms race of private company vs. private company to gain (and maintain) control of a smartphone's contents.
Even considering the oft-abused Third Party Doctrine, it would seem that a warrantless search of a smartphone would be a Fourth Amendment violation. There's just too much information stored on the average smartphone to be compared to anything found on a person during a normal search. And, as a New York law student recently asked Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, isn't searching someone's computer roughly equivalent to their "effects," Fourth Amendment-wise? For all intents and purposes, a smartphone is a portable computer, loaded with a person's "effects" and creating a time/date/location "event" every time it pings a cell tower.
Considering how much info can be gathered from a single smartphone, It's little wonder law enforcement wants to peek at arrestees' smartphones, but the courts need to do a bit of catching up to today's cellphone realities. And there needs to be more attention paid to the fact that law enforcement agencies are partnering with private companies to crack phones, apparently without asking for a warrant first.

Marshall Pierce and Jaeger-LeCoultre
"I've been with Marshall Pierce a long time," says Avaneesh Marwaha. "They get all of my disposable income. But I haven't had a chance to get to an event." Evan Bern, vice president of the venerable family-owned jeweler, fixed that in style this spring, with a cigar and whiskey gathering at Biggs Mansion. On view were the latest treasures from Jaeger-LeCoultre. "Selling watches is secondary on a night like this," Bern says. "This is a thank-you to the people who support you." –David Zivan

The Lack Of A Legal Or Moral Basis For The Aaron Swartz Indictment Is Quite Troubling
from the what-are-the-feds-up-to? deptThere have been a lot of interesting discussions about the Aaron Swartz indictment, but I wanted to highlight a few key points on this, starting with an analysis of the actual legal points by Max Kennerly, who points out that the actual charges don't seem to hold up:
I'm not going to take the wire fraud claim under 18 U.S.C. § 1343 seriously. They're going to have a lot of trouble proving Swartz "devised or intending to devise any scheme or artifice to defraud" by evading the IP restrictions imposed by JSTOR. As the Department of Justice's Attorney Manual (USAM) notes, most courts interpret "defraud" as meaning "a scheme to defraud another out of money." More from the USAM about the "specific intent" to defraud here.That's just a taste. He goes through the full list of claims and basically finds all of them wanting from a legal basis.
The 18 U.S.C. § 1030(a)(4) claim requires the prosecutor show Swartz "knowingly and with intent to defraud, accesse[d] a protected computer without authorization, or exceed[ed] authorized access, and by means of such conduct furthers the intended fraud and obtains anything of value." The indictment claims the papers were "things of value," but they've got the same problem: no intent to defraud. Bear in mind we're talking about a computer hacking statute; the statutes don't all just create liability for improper access, they create liability for specific "hacking" scenarios. Section (a)(4) was meant to prosecutor individuals who stole information for the purpose of fraud. Swartz, a long-time information activist, certainly didn't download millions of research papers from JSTOR with the intent of defrauding people about Group Theory. That claim is likely going to lose.
But what I thought was more interesting was the way Kennerly opened his analysis, more by highlighting the moral question in the indictment. He starts out by quoting the famous speech by former Supreme Court Justice (and Chief Nuremberg Prosecutor) Robert Jackson about the importance of discretion from prosecutors, noting how a prosecutor can effectively destroy someone's life just by investigating them, and how important it is that prosecutors use that power judiciously, and only for the benefit of society. And then Kennerly notes:
I don't see what societal interest Carmen Ortiz think he's vindicating with the Swartz indictment. According to Demand Progress, JSTOR already settled their claims with him. What more needs to be done here? The "criminal violation" here arises not from any social duty — like, you know, our society's communal prohibition on murder — but rather from Swartz "exceeding the authorization" imposed by JSTOR on its servers. Prosecuting Swartz criminally makes no more sense than prosecuting banks or telecommunications companies for violating their consumer agreements, and we all know that's not going to happen any time soon.Along those lines, there are two other discussions going on that are worth highlighting. Kevin Webb points out that pretty much anyone doing serious academic research these days almost certainly has to violate some sort of federal laws to do so, mainly because of the ridiculous setup of academic journals which basically lock up all kinds of research -- especially government-funded research, that other researchers need to build on:
I've lost count of how many hours I've spent sitting in basements of academic buildings, breaking federal laws in the pursuit of answers. And I was reminded of my colleagues who still spend their days painstakingly scraping data off the web–sometimes legally sometimes not–the name of academic inquiry.Of course, Webb's main point is in talking about copyright law and, as we've noted, the feds have carefully avoided using copyright law in its claims against Aaron, in large part because those claims are even weaker than the claims they're already using.
None of us want to break the law. It's simply that we don't have a choice.
The mechanisms for sharing academic discourse are broken. They barely even function as systems for connecting interested parties within existing disciplines. Ask just anyone who spends their career writing and consuming scholarly work and you will hear a litany of complaints about how poorly suited the academic publishing industry is to modern day collaboration.
Separately, there's a slightly different, but important view from Tim Lee, who points out that Aaron Swartz's form of activism is reckless, and tarnishes the good work of others advocating for open research.
But the more lasting cost of Aaron's actions will likely be to the reputation of the open access movement. Open access advocates have the natural high ground and are gradually winning the debate over the future of academic publishing. Change comes slowly, but things have been changing. Aaron's actions are likely to slow that progress by allowing the bad guys to lump open access advocates in with malicious clowns like LulzSec. The incident makes JSTOR look like an injured, even magnanimous, party and gives them an excuse to make their policies more restrictive.I actually think the lasting impact could be even more far reaching. Thanks to Aaron's role in founding Demand Progress, this move is unfortunately being used to tar and feather all of Demand Progress' efforts. We've already seen indications that supporters of PROTECT IP are now using the indictment to suggest that the approximately 60,000 letters sent via Demand Progress' website in opposition to PROTECT IP should be discounted. Never mind the fact (again) that Swartz isn't even being charged with copyright infringement, and the issue is totally unrelated to PROTECT IP, the lobbyists are using the whole situation to paint the entire protests against PROTECT IP as being in support of "piracy." This is unfortunate and inaccurate, but it's how politics works.
That being said, I'm not sure I completely agree with Tim on whether or not Swartz's actions were quite as "counterproductive" as he makes them out to be. I've already explained (earlier today in fact!) how counterproductive hacktivism can be in many cases, but I'm not sure I see it in Swartz's case. Now, to be clear, this is based on the belief that Swartz wasn't actually planning to release all the works he downloaded. If, however, evidence shows that he really did intend to distribute all these works, as alleged by the government, then I'm more inclined to agree with Tim. But, if as others have suggested, Swartz was using this to do additional research on open access/corruption issues, it's much more difficult to see why this is so problematic.
Activism works because it pushes boundaries. Swartz may have a natural inclination to stick his middle finger up at authority when it gets in the way of things he believes should be more open, but that's kind of how activism works sometimes. I don't agree with the DDOS attacks of Anonymous, because they don't seem to have much of a point beyond "hey, we don't like these guys/these policies." But Swartz's activism always had a direct purpose and a clear statement and basis. And I don't consider that, by itself, to be reckless. At best, in this case, I can see how there might be a (physical) trespassing charge for Swartz for sneaking into a building in which he did not belong. But that's a minor issue. All the rest of the stuff seems like a more vindictive attack by the government for not liking Swartz and the way he goes about his activism.

I have taken down my previous post following a recent telephone conversation with a very knowledgeable local councilor. It looks like I have fallen foul of some serious misinformation, from several supposed experts at both BT and, surprisingly, Talk Talk too.
The weird thing about this, is that it turns out Talk Talk are actually under-selling the capability of their broadband service for those of us who live within close proximity to the exchange in Holt.
Talk Talk has LLU status within Holt exchange (double click on this link for a very good explanation of LLU and what it can offer the end user). Only yesterday, whilst I was discussing my grievance with BT, did a representative at BT yet again tell me more untruths about LLU, ADSL, ADSLmax and ADSL2+. Fortunately, this call has been recorded and now forms part of my pending complaint with BT.
My earlier statement is kind of true, TALK TALK cannot provide 14Mbps (1.75MBps) broadband speeds. The truth is they can actually squeeze out close to 20Mbps (2.5MBps) – if you live within 500 metres or so of the Holt exchange. However, I am not yet sure how these current speeds will be affected as more broadband users switch to Talk Talk? Although, I get the impression Talk Talk do not know this either!
I mentioned in my previous (now removed) post that Talk Talk are cheaper, yes they are, much cheaper! For the unlimited broadband and anytime calls phone package, if you pre-purchase 12 months telephone line rental with Talk Talk, you can expect to pay £244.50 for twelve months (first 6 months of broadband is half price at the moment). The much slower BT equivalent will cost you £346.50.
I am gutted. I recently agreed to extend my existing contract with BT for another 12 months. According to BT they have no immediate plans to upgrade the service they offer through Holt exchange, well not until 2013, 2104 or maybe even 2015. So I am stuck with upto 7Mbps (0.875MBps) for the next twelve months, unless I am successful in my upcoming fight with BT… I think I could put up with the dire customer service at Talk Talk in exchange for 20Mbps downloading.

Wenger hits out at boo-boys after Stoke draw
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger hit out at Stoke's boo-boys after Gunners midfielder Aaron Ramsey was targeted for abuse during his side's 1-1 draw.sports Updated: Apr 29, 2012 09:12 IST
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger hit out at Stoke's boo-boys after Gunners midfielder Aaron Ramsey was targeted for abuse during his side's 1-1 draw.
Ramsey was jeered throughout at the Britannia Stadium on Saturday, two years after sustaining a horrific double leg fracture on the same ground following a reckless challenge by Ryan Shawcross.
Wenger, who was also taunted mercilessly by sections of the Potters support, shrugged off the personal abuse but admitted he was baffled by the vitriol directed at Ramsey.
"I don't think that you can be especially proud to boo Aaron Ramsey because I don't see what he has done wrong in his behaviour," Wenger said.
"That's a story where the fans of Stoke stand behind that player (Shawcross) but they shouldn't go as far as booing Aaron Ramsey.
"(The Stoke fans) have a relationship with me but I don't have one with them. I personally have enough experience to cope with that. It doesn't bother me too much."
Wenger however said football authorities must address the issue of abusive fans eventually.
"One day football has to face this and tackle that because it's easy to sit in the stand and insult people," Wenger said.
"My response is that I ignore what people say. I focus on what I love in my job, I love my job and I am not responsible for the way people behave in the stands. If you want to stop that it's easy to stop, because you can isolate every face, but I can't influence it.
"The only thing I think sometimes when I go off at the end of the game when people insult you, are angry or hateful, if you could get just a little picture and send it home to you to show your son or your daughter and see if you do it again, if you are proud."
Wenger also dismissed the suggestion that Morrocco international forward Marouane Chamakh will definitely be sold this summer.
Chamakh, 28, has struggled to make an impression since joining on a free transfer from Bordeaux in 2010 and has made just one start this season.
But Wenger was pleased with the striker's performance after Chamakh came off the bench at the Britannia Stadium.
"Chamakh did well, nothing is definite at the moment, at the end of the season you will have big surprises but there won't be a lot of movement in football," he said.
Robin van Persie's 35th goal of the season cancelled out Peter Crouch's early opener at the Britannia but Arsenal could not find a winner that would have taken them a long way towards confirming their Champions League place for next season.
Meanwhile Stoke's Tony Pulis agrees that abuse of managers is unacceptable but claims that it is tolerated by every manager in the Premier League.
"It is very difficult for us all. I go to grounds and get abused and you have to accept it. Should you? You should speak to authorities," Pulis said.
"I go to grounds and get a load of stick. Air Alex Ferguson will go to certain grounds and get slaughtered. Is it acceptable?"

For the last month or two I have been writing and moving a few recipes over to Closing the Gap, a little blog I started a couple years ago as a personal project for myself to "close the gap" between where I was as a photographer and where I wanted to be, creatively and technically. I didn't post much over the two years I was conscious of it. However, lately it has become more than just photographs and I think will continue to expand as I have a long road ahead of me before I become who I want to be, in so many more aspects than just photography.
Join me..
I will not be writing here anymore, and a few recipes will be moved over to the new space periodically, likely (hopefully) as new posts. I love a new clean space.

Today I'm excited to share with you a special video collaboration I recently did with Sydney from The Crepes of Wrath. Sydney and I met a few months ago at a BlogHer theater and networking event and since then, her blog has been one of my new favorites for regular reading, for both the photography and the writing. I've bookmarked so many of her recipes, including these beer braised ribs, miso kale salad, and chocolate chunk cookies. When she started posted short, fun cooking cooking videos, I became inspired to finally start making my own.
So when Sydney asked if I wanted to do a cooking video together, as a way for food bloggers in New York to support and promote each others' work, I immediately said yes. Earlier this month, I spent a fun Sunday afternoon with her and her husband Kramer making (and eating!) Sichuan wontons, one of the dishes I regularly teach in my Dumplings and Wontons classes at West Elm Market and Brooklyn Brainery.
Check out the video below, then read on for more about Sichuan wontons!
If you've never had Sichuan wontons before, and you're a big fan of spicy food, this is one dish that will surely go on regular rotation after you try it once. This is one of my favorite Sichuan dishes of all time, with a deliciously savory, tangy, and spicy sauce that is positively addictive. Unlike with Cantonese wontons, which usually goes into a soup with or without noodles, you just boil the wontons and drizzle a chili oil mixture over them.
I adore this sauce: chili oil (store-bought or homemade), dark or balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, Sichuan pepper, and garlic, just mixed together. It's spicy and numbing and tart and sweet. And you can easily make a big batch to share with family and friends, should they happen to stop by.
And the folding is pretty easy once you get the hang of it. The name for Sichuan wontons in Mandarin, chao shou, literally means "crossed hands". The wontons themselves are folded in a way in which the tips cross each other like arms.
In Sichuan, I've seen the wontons folded two ways. In the first one, you start by folding the wrapper into a triangle and then crossing the tips ("arms") over the belly of the wonton. The second method, the "boat" method is to fold the wrapper into a rectangle; then, crunching the belly a little, you overlap the bottom edges of the two sides, as shown in the photo above. The second method is trickier at first, but more impressive once you get the hang of it.
So give these a try! Just be aware: in the words of a student who recently attended one of my dumpling classes, the sauce "is so good I can drink just it straight."

Sichuan Wontons
Serves 6 o 8
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1 egg
- 6 scallions, thinly sliced
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ package wonton skins
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- ½ tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon chili oil
- 2 teaspoons Chinese black vinegar or good-quality balsamic vinegar
- ¼ teaspoon ground Sichuan pepper
- In a large bowl, combine the pork, egg, sesame oil, salt, pepper, and most of the scallions (reserving a small handful for garnish at the end.) Mix until everything is well-incorporated. The filling should be sticky and just slightly wet.
- Fill a small ramekin or bowl with water and place it by your side. This will be for sealing the wontons.
- Angle a wonton wrapper so that it faces you like a diamond. Place one heaping teaspoon of filling in the center of the wrapper. Dip your fingers in the water and wet the outside corners of the wonton wrapper. (Keep the extra wrappers covered with a barely damp towel until ready to use, to prevent them from drying out.)
- One easy way to wrap is to form a triangle by folding the bottom tip to the top tip and pinching out as much air as possible. Add a dab of water to the inside of the left tip, fold it over the right tip to overlap (as shown in the picture above) and press together
- For the "boat" version, start by folding the wrapper in half to form a rectangle. Add a dab of water to the bottom edge of the left side and and fold it over the bottom edge of the ridge side, so that one overlaps the other. The end result should resemble a boat, with two tips cradling a puff of filling in the middle.
- Place the finished wonton on a plate. Keep the finished wontons covered with a barely damp towel while you repeat the process with the remaining wontons.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the garlic, soy sauce, sugar, chili oil, black vinegar, and Sichuan pepper. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved and set aside.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Put in the wontons and boil for 4 minutes, until the wontons float to the top. Remove them with a slotted spoon and transfer to a serving dish. Drizzle the chili sauce over the wontons and sprinkle the remaining scallions on top.

The U.S. Air Force sent two F-16 jet fighters to intercept a civilian plane that had strayed into restricted air space over Washington, D.C., at about 8:30 p.m. Monday. The military planes, based at Andrews Air Force Base, escorted the smaller craft until the pilot landed at Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport.
The Federal Aviation Administration was unable to communicate with the pilot, the sole occupant of the Beechcraft 58 aircraft, a small, twin-engine plane. FAA alerted the North American Aerospace Defense Command, officials said.
"We had a pilot out of communication who wandered into the National Capitol Region over the D.C. area, which is continually restricted," said Lt. Cmdr. Bill Lewis, spokesman for NORAD. "When that happens, we send up the fighters."
The Department of Homeland Security monitored the situation along with other federal agencies.
"Out of an abundance of caution, the aircraft was escorted back to BWI by fighter jets and landed safely without incident," according to a Homeland Security release.
Law enforcement officials met with the pilot of the errant plane, who informed police that he had overflown BWI by mistake, Homeland Security officials said.
Although Homeland Security plans no further investigation, FAA will continue to review the incident, said Laura J. Brown, FAA spokeswoman.
"We investigate any violation into secured, restricted areas," Brown said. "We could possibly suspend the pilot's license for several months."

There are several rewards based on the tier you're in at the end of Season 3 ranked play.
Tier Rewards (Based on your Ranked Queue [solo, 3v3, or 5v5] Tier at the end of the season):
For ranked 5v5 or 3v3 team queues, you'll earn the rewards based on your team's ranked tier at the end of the season, but keep in mind that you have to have won at least 10 games with the team to qualify for rewards.
Provided you and your new team can get 10 additional wins together from the time you join, you'll qualify for Gold tier rewards as long as you stay on that team when end of season rolls out.
The short answer is no. You'll earn the icon, banner and loading screen trim for the tier you reached. They are different for each tier.
Season 3 will end on 11/11.
We will start granting rewards with the patch downtime, although it may take a few days for them to show up for every player.
The loading screen border trim you earn will display when playing in the ranked game type you earned it in. For other queues: In 5s normal or bot games the highest of your ranked 5s or solo / duo queue will be displayed. In 3s normal and bot games, borders earned from your ranked 3s will be displayed. For ARAM , custom, and dominion games, the highest of any ranked queue will be displayed. So, for example, if you earn Diamond in solo queue and Silver in Twisted Treeline, you will display a Diamond loading border in solo queue and unranked games, but you will display a Silver border in ranked Twisted Treeline.
Regardless of game mode the border trim will only be displayed to your allies, as we still want to be very careful about influencing perceptions around the fairness of the matchup before the game begins.
Yes, this hasn't changed and they will both be displayed. The honor ribbon sits on top of the border trim.
No, the profile banner trim is based on performance in the most recent season.
Your Victorious skins and summoner icons will be retained. The loading screen borders and profile borders will only show the previous season's results (so it will display season 3). The placement from previous seasons is stored, and we're working out the best way to display the results from prior seasons, but it won't be part of this release.
You'll only get the icon for your current highest tier.
Unfortunately, no. You will only get credit for teams you are on at the end of the season. We highly suggest you find trustworthy leaders and teammates! Alternatively, try forming your own ranked team!
Unfortunately, no. We will be giving out rewards based on the tier you are in at the end of the season, not the highest tier you've reached within the season.

Well, not his sainthood cause which you can read all about here, but a separate cause for the heroic U.S. Army Chaplain from Pilsen, Kansas to be awarded a posthumous Medal of Honor.
Matt Manta from Rep. Kevin Yoder's office sent me a release today on the Kansas Congressional delegation's recent letter to Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta encouraging him to recommend that Father Emil Kapaun be posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his heroism and service in the Korean War.
Along with Yoder, U.S. Senators Pat Roberts and Jerry Moran and U.S. Representatives Tim Huelskamp, Lynn Jenkins and Mike Pompeo signed the letter:
"We write to express our appreciation for your agency's ongoing support for awarding the Medal of Honor to (Captain) Chaplain Emil J. Kapaun and to encourage your official recommendation to the President as the next step in the awards process.
"We write in strong support of your recommendation to the President to award the Medal of Honor to (Captain) Chaplain Emil J. Kapaun. In previous correspondence, our delegation has expressed our resolute support for recognizing Father Kapaun's numerous acts of heroism and selflessness during his service in the Korean War. To that end, our delegation offered legislation in both the House and the Senate to waive the time limitation and award the Medal of Honor to Father Kapaun. In response to our inquiry, Dr. Jo Ann Rooney, Acting Undersecretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness, later confirmed the Department of Defense's support for the time waiver legislation for Father Kapaun. We are extremely pleased the time waiver legislation was included in the final Fiscal Year 2012 National Defense Authorization Act (P.L. 112-81).
"The next step in the process is for the Secretary of Defense to officially recommend that the President award Father Kapaun the Medal of Honor. We respectfully ask for your support and further request that you convey your recommendation to award the Medal of Honor to Father Kapaun to the President in the near future.
"During the Korean War, Father Kapaun served as a chaplain of the 8th Cavalry Regiment of the First Army Division. Amidst the devastating Battle of Unsan, Kapaun pulled wounded soldiers to safety and attended to their injuries. He was taken prisoner along with other American soldiers and carried severely injured fellow soldiers on his back, while rallying others to help in a similar fashion. While in the prison camp he served his comrades by escaping to steal food from nearby farms to bring back to the starving prisoners. He cared for sick soldiers, washed them, shared his food with them, and inspired them with his unfailing faith and acts of generosity until his death in May 1951. Fellow soldiers who benefitted from or witnessed the many examples of Father Kapaun's service shared the stories of his heroism after their release.
"It is our strong belief that these acts of selfless service on behalf of his fellow soldiers make Father Kapaun a true hero who deserves this high honor. We appreciate your time and attention to this matter and stand ready to assist in any way required."
Much thanks to the Kansas delegation!
Now you, readers, can keep helping 'Servant of God' Kapaun on his other cause:
Lord Jesus,
in the midst of the folly of war,
your servant, Chaplain Emil Kapaun
spent himself in total service to you
on the battlefields and
in the prison camps of Korea,
until his death at the hands of his captors.
We now ask you, Lord Jesus,
if it be your will,
to make known to all the world
the holiness of Chaplain Kapaun and the
glory of his complete sacrifice for you by
signs of miracles and peace.
In your name, Lord, we ask,
for you are the source of peace,
the strength of our service to others,
and our final hope.
Chaplain Kapaun, pray for us.

In 2010, my friend Melissa opened The Clipper Ship Tea Company, a tea shop in our hometown of Northport, New York. Soon thereafter, we serendipitously started a collaboration of artwork and tea with the Teatime with Animals series. Each illustration I create will feature one animal famously indigenous to a tea growing country, and Melissa will blend a tea to pair with my image, based on the country and the colors/vibe of my art. Below are the first 3 (0f 8) Elephant's Teacup, Tiger's Chai and Snow Monkey Tea. More to come!
ELEPHANT'S TEACUP. A brisk Ceylon Black Tea blended with Sri Lankan cinnamon and tropical island fruits. A finely balanced tea is a perfect harmony of sweet and spiced. This tea pays homage to the peaceful and tranquil beauty of Sri Lanka.
TIGER'S CHAI. A majestic Indian Darjeeling Black Tea blended with bold Indian spices, delicate aromatic flowers and rich notes of vanilla. An elegant and aristocratic tea that celebrates India and it's majestic Bengal tigers.
SNOW MONKEY. A Delicate Japanese sencha green tea blended with soothing lavender, warm vanilla and sweet blueberries. An aromatic tea that's a spa in a cup. An ethereal tea blended in honor of Japanese hot springs and the whimsical world of snow monkeys.
We are creating custom packaging so they can be sold in tins individually and in a gift box with all 8 tins packaged together.

For Climate Change Mitigation, Don't Forget the Peatlands
Peatlands now cover 3 percent of the world's land area.
Photo by John Menard via Flickr
Protecting peatland areas can be a cost-effective way to reduce as much as 10 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions, according to a new report launched December 11 in Bali, Indonesia. "Just like a global phaseout of old, energy-guzzling light bulbs or a switch to hybrid cars, protecting and restoring peatlands is perhaps another key 'low hanging fruit'...for climate change mitigation," said Achim Steiner, United Nations Under-Secretary General and the executive director of the UN Environment Programme (UNEP).
Peatlands are wetland ecosystems that accumulate plant material over time to form layers of peat soil up to 20 meters thick. They are present in 180 countries, cover 3 percent of the world's surface, and store an average of 10 times more carbon per hectare than other ecosystems. Peatlands are also home to a large share of the world's freshwater resources and are critical in biodiversity conservation, including for species such as the orangutan and certain cranes.
But peatlands are in danger. Each year, clearing, draining, and setting fire to peatlands emits more than 3 billion tons of carbon dioxide—equivalent to 10 percent of global emissions from fossil fuels. Human activities and climate change post a particular threat to mountain and coastal peatlands as well as to permafrost, the melting of which may increase emissions of methane, another powerful greenhouse gas, in some areas, according to UNEP's Steiner.

The new report, compiled by a multidisciplinary team, is the first-ever assessment of "the relationship between peatlands, biodiversity and climate change...on a global level," said Faizal Parish, director of the Malaysia-based Global Environment Center, which coordinated the study. The authors urge the international community to integrate wetlands conservation into climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies. Investments in peatland protection and restoration can be up to 100 times more cost-effective than other carbon sequestration measures, says Ahmed Djoghlaf, executive secretary of the Convention on Biological Diversity.
Marcel Silvius of Wetlands International stresses the importance of adopting appropriate climate mitigation measures on peatlands. "Cultivation of biofuel crops such as soy, oil palm, or sugar cane on peatlands generates much more CO2 emissions than saved through fossil fuel substitution," he says. "Construction of wind farms and hydropower reservoirs on peatlands also generate significant emissions," he adds.

Constantin von Tischendorf
German New Testament textual critic
Lobegott Friedrich Konstantin Von Tischendorf (1815-1874),German New Testament textual critic
Born in Lengenfeld, Tischendorf studied at Leipzig (1834-1838) under J. G. B. Winer, a noted Greek grammarian whose grammar of New Testament Greek (1822) had become a standard for many generations. For many years thereafter Tischendorf also taught in the theology department at Leipzig. Influenced by Winer, He developed an intense desire to utilize the most ancient manuscripts and thereby recover the purest and earliest form of the Greek New Testament. To that end he devoted a lifetime of labor to discovering manuscripts and producing accurate editions of the Greek New Testament. In fulfillment of his desire, he discovered Codexi Sinaiticus, deciphered the palimpsest Codex Ephraemi Rescriptus, collated countless manuscripts, and produced several editions of the Greek New Testament.
Of all Tischendorf's accomplishments, the best known is his discovery of Codex Sinaiticus at St. Catherine's Monastery (located near Mount Sinai). The manuscript, dated around AD. 360 to 375, is one of the two oldest vellum (treated animal hide) manuscripts of the Greek New Testament. The first time he visited the monastery (1844), he retrieved several leaves of an ancient Septuagint from a wastebasket. Many other leaves, he was told, had already been used to stoke fires! On another visit (1859) he was shown a copy of the Greek Scriptures (containing books of the Old Testament and all of the New Testament) by the steward of the monastery Recognizing it as the oldest extant copy of the Greek Scriptures, Tischendorf attempted to purchase the manuscript but was refused. After making a transcription of the text, he did some political maneuvering wherein the czar of Russia was given the manuscript in exchange for favors conferred upon the authorities of the monastery. Tischendorf greatly used the textual evidence of Codex Sinaiticus in preparing his critical editions of the Greek New Testament.
Works by Constantin von Tischendorf
In 19th century German biblical scholarship, many academic theologians experimented with speculative philosophical and historical accounts of Christian theology's development. Tischendorf, on the other hand, wished to return evidence-based, rather than worldview-based, historical criticism of the Bible. He saw such criticism as a "conversion of theological science into sophistry." An archaeologist as well as a New Testament scholar, Tischendorf had discovered one of the oldest New Testament manuscripts himself, the Codex Sinaiticus, on an archaeological expedition. Based on the information he gathered from his studies at home and afield, Tischendorf argues against academic theology's verdict on the origin of the Gospels, their dating, and their authorship.
Although a professor of Greek and New Testament theology, Tischendorf did not restrict himself to the office or the classroom. Instead, he traveled across Europe, Africa, and the Middle East as an archaeologist, searching for any traces of ancient manuscripts. In 1844, Tischendorf made one of his greatest discoveries in the shadow of Mount Sinai— the Codex Sinaiticus, one of the oldest New Testament manuscripts, dated around AD. 360-375. In When Were our Gospels Written? Tischendorf recounts his search and discovery of the manuscript. Based on the new information yielded by that discovery, the scholar estimates dates for the composition of the Gospels. The Codex Sinaiticus remains a celebrated historical treasure, preserved in museums and prestigious libraries for future generations.

In the aftermath of the royal wedding of Prince William to Catherine Middleton, it has become quite evident that a British monarchy wedding defies many Etiquette Hell prohibitions such as:
* A hierarchy of guests. This was evident in numerous ways. Notable guests were escorted through one set of doors into Westminister Abbey whereas the common folk were directed through the north doors.
Although over 1,000 guests were invited and attended the wedding, the afternoon reception, hosted by Queen Elizabeth, was limited to 650 of those guests who were served champagne and canapes. It would blow our Ehell circuits if someone actually had the audacity to invite people to an 11 a.m. wedding and not extend an invitation to refreshments of some sort.
The list of 650 guests was further winnowed down to 300 for the evening private, black tie reception hosted by Prince Charles. The B grade guests invited to the after wedding reception but not the private affair later that evening were primarily Middleton guests who were invited to a separate event at the Goring Hotel in Belgravia, where Miss Middleton spent her final night as a single woman. Mr and Mrs Middleton welcomed guests to the Goring before returning to Buckingham Palace for the evening reception. I suppose the Middletons really had no choice on how to respond to a royal flush of their guests so they did the best they could under the circumstances.
* Sending a 22 page etiquette "guide" to guests detailing expectations on dress, table settings, how to engage the royals, etc. I'm pretty certain this is the first time in royal wedding history that this has been done. Don't anyone get the bright idea they can do the same as the royals because we'll still refer to you as the anal retentive bridezilla insulting your guests.
* Maid of honor wearing white. Interestingly, the etiquette guide sent to guests advised them to not wear white lest they upstage the bride but that apparently does not apply to sisters/maid of honor, or royal in-laws. Camilla's champagne colored outfit nearly matched her own 2005 wedding ensemble and Sophie, Countess of Wessex's champagne dress also fell into the realm of "too freaking close to a bridal color". Pippa Middleton's stunning white dress has been referred to, by fashionistas, as Kate's "second choice wedding dress".
* The wedding invitation indicating to male guests what their acceptable attire will be. I found Diana and Charles' wedding invitation and it says the same thing as William and Kate's in the lower left corner: Dress: Uniform, morning dress or lounge suit (what we in the US call a "business suit").
* The wedding wish list asking guests to donate to one or more of over 2 dozen charities the Prince and Catherine favor in lieu of a wedding gift.
Several people have asked me privately how to reconcile a royal wedding that has so many actions we would consider to be major faux pas. Shouldn't royalty know better? Or are they above etiquette?
The answer is that there is a difference between European/Old World etiquette and New World etiquette or what Miss Manners' refers to as "Star Spangled Manners". Old World/ European etiquette is predicted on a very old system of class distinctions where etiquette was one tool by which one's breeding was measured whereas American etiquette is predicated upon the belief of an egalitarian equality and a refusal to dignify anything resembling class distinctions. Miss Manners calls it "the basic American commitment to the Etiquette of Equality" or what I see as the "etiquette rule of law", i.e. the same rules, the same dignity, the same respect for everyone regardless of station. American etiquette tries to minimize the differences between the weak and powerful.
English etiquette maven Frances Trollope published the book, "Domestic manners of the Americans", in 1832 in which she famously declared that a working class with a sense of being anyone's equal was a worse evil than slavery. When the royals have a "do as a I say, not as I do" mentality to manipulating etiquette to suit their need to divide guests into hierarchies, primarily based on who was royal and who was in trade, it's no wonder there are resentful anti-royalists seeking to abolish the monarchy.
The English upper class disdain for the "trades" is deeply and historically entrenched in cultural etiquette which may explain the sending of an insulting "guide" as if one's guests were etiquette idiots or the ease at which a large percentage of non-royal wedding guests were not invited to a reception which would have entailed blue bloods rubbing shoulders with commoners. The social isolation of the Middleton guests several miles away from the main event and sans their hosts or the guests of honor is deeply repugnant to the American mindset of equal etiquette for all. At least Will and Kate's wedding was an improvement from 30 years ago. When Charles and Diana married, there were 3500 guests in attendance followed by a family only reception for 120.
I've said many times that this is an American Etiquette web site. We uphold the values of dignity, respect, and an etiquette rule of law for everyone, regardless of power, money, age, sex, religion, breeding, or one's "connections". No one is above etiquette and all are expected to behave in a way that offers civility to everyone. Brides who think they can exalt themselves for a season to treat others disdainfully or discourteously are miserably mistaken. We will still roast you for thinking too highly of yourself at the expense of others.

Graphite base products
Graphite base products are a very traditional product of KOH-I-NOOR HARDTMUTH a.s., with history dating back to 1790.
The combination of basic raw materials – low-sintering soft clays and pure, modified ground graphite powder and its complex homogenisation creates a mixture for the production of 20 gradations of graphite leads, with the scope of 8B to 10H. Soft gradations are marked with the letter B taken from the word "Black" and hard gradations are marked with the letter H, which comes from the word "Hard". There are two gradations between these two groups marked HB (HardBlack) and F (Fine).
The method of production is the same for all lengths, diameters and shapes of graphite leads. Under moist conditions, the pre-prepared mixture for the required gradation is formed into leads by stretching, which are then dried. The dried leads are burnt at a temperature of almost 1000°C and then impregnated with a mixture of fat, oil and paraffin. Special modifications to some types of lead have the possibility of achieving the aquarelle effect by washing the drawing with water. The final stage of the operation is cutting, sanding, pointing, painting and in some cases leads are marked according to the specific type of product.
The produced leads are either used independently or inserted into the appropriate type of versatile holder. The most common form is inserting the leads into wood in the form of pencils with varying types of profiles and shapes.
The mutual denominator and characteristic of these products is the high quality application of the lead on the selected type of paper, with its typical metal sparkle, caused by the basic raw material – graphite. The mineralogical essence of graphite, i.e its lamellar shape, brings an easy way of creating a soft, flowing application, which is most notable with soft gradations B to 8B.

Florida grabs a $33.4 million chunk of foreclosure settlement money for state budget
Out of $334 million in cash payments sent to Florida in a multi-billion dollar mortgage settlement with major banks, about $33.4 million will go to help bolster the state's budget.
Florida is one of several states taking a portion of the $2.5 billion in cash payments from big banks and using it for programs not directly related to the foreclosure crisis, ProPublica reports.
A spokeswoman for Attorney General Pam Bondi—who negotiated the settlement on Florida's behalf--confirmed that 10 percent of the cash has been sent to the general fund.
"Ten percent went to the state of Florida as a penalty," she said. "That money goes to GR (general revenue)."
Florida's total take in the overall $25 billion settlement—which includes principle writedowns and mortgage modifications--is worth about $8.4 billion.
About $334 million of that came in the form of a cash payment to the state, and the attorney general's office has maintained that most of the money will be used to directly help homeowners.
Settlement documents indicate that Bondi negotiated for the 10-percent civil penalty, resulting in a $33.4 million cash payment to the general fund.
Florida is, as of now, only using about 10 percent of the settlement's cash payment to bolster its general budget. Some other states are using all or the vast majority of their funds to plug large budget holes, according to a chart created by Propublica. A few states have clauses similar to Florida's, directing 10-percent of the money to general revenue as a penalty.
Still, some states have decided to use all of the funds for homeowners, citing that they were the main victims in the robo-signing scandal.
The remaining $300 million in Florida's settlement cash has not yet been allocated. Bondi asked members of the public for suggestions on how to spend the money this month, and has stated that it would be used to provide direct relief help homeowners. Housing groups have advocated that the money be used for legal aid for homeowners and low-income housing programs.
Georgia directed all of its $99 million to programs designed to attract new businesses.
A spokesman for Georgia's governor told ProPublica: "He believes that the best way to prevent foreclosures amongst honest homeowners who have experienced hard times is to create jobs here in our state."
It's not clear how Florida's $33.4 million will be spent, although the state has been increasing its incentives for business under the administration of Gov. Rick Scott, who has echoed the prevent-foreclosures-by-creating-jobs mantra.
