Secret UK Policy On Surveillance Of All 'External' Communications Revealed By Counter Terrorism Boss
from the not-an-active-intrusion deptBack in December, we wrote about a case brought before the Investigatory Powers Tribunal (IPT) against the UK government over the spying carried out by GCHQ. We were worried that such a secretive but toothless oversight body would either simply throw out the case on some technicality, or issue a weak and useless judgment. But something remarkable has happened: as part of the official response, Charles Farr, the UK's Director General of the Office for Security and Counter Terrorism, has made a 50-page statement that reveals a wealth of information about the UK's surveillance activities for the first time (pdf). Here's the key fact that has emerged, as described by Privacy International, one of the five rights organizations that has brought the case before the IPT:
Farr's statement, published today by the rights organisations, is the first time the Government has openly commented on how it thinks it can use the UK's vague surveillance legal framework to indiscriminately intercept communications through its mass interception programme, TEMPORA.That distinction between "external" and "internal" communications is critical because of how the UK law governing surveillance, the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act (RIPA), is framed:
The secret policy outlined by Farr defines almost all communications via Facebook and other social networking sites, as well as webmail services Hotmail and Yahoo and web searches via Google, to be 'external communications' because they use web-based 'platforms' based in the US.
'Internal' communications may only be intercepted under a warrant which relates to a specific individual or address. These warrants should only be granted where there is some suspicion of unlawful activity. However, an individual's 'external communications' may be intercepted indiscriminately, even where there are no grounds to suspect any wrongdoing.In other words, pretending that even a communication between UK citizens inside the UK is "external" purely because it takes place via a service run by a US company allows GCHQ to dispense with warrants and to ignore privacy safeguards for practically everything that UK citizens engage in online. It underlines why the UK laws governing surveillance need updating to reflect how such services are being used, in order to rein in this unchecked and thus disproportionate level of spying.
By defining the use of 'platforms' such as Facebook, Twitter and Google as 'external communications', British residents are being deprived of the essential safeguards that would otherwise be applied to their communications -- simply because they are using services that are based outside the UK.
The statement from Farr is an important document, and is fascinating not least for the way it tries not to "confirm or deny" many of Snowden's revelations. In particular, it spends several pages trying to justify the UK government's continuing refusal to acknowledge the existence of GCHQ's Tempora program that is under discussion in this IPT case -- a pretty absurd position. Privacy International's summary of what Farr does admit to is as follows:
GCHQ is intercepting all communications -- emails, text messages, and communications sent via "platforms" such as Facebook and Google -- before determining whether they fall into the "internal" or "external" categoriesThe release of this document shows why it is worth undertaking legal actions against the secret services, even when doing so might appear pointless. That's because they can still force governments into making statements that reveal both new information about what is going on, as well as the extreme flimsiness of their justifications for massive surveillance of their own populations.
The Government considers almost all Facebook and other social media communications, and Google searches will always fall within the "external" category, even when such communications are between two people in the UK
Classifying communications as "external" allows the Government to search through, read, listen to and look at each of them. The only restriction on what they do with communications that they classify as "external" is that they cannot search through such communications using keywords or terms that mention a specific British person or residence.
Even though the Government is conducting mass surveillance -- intercepting and scanning through all communications in order to work out whether they are internal or external -- they consider that such interception "has less importance" than whether a person actually reads the communication, which is where the Government believes "the substantive interference with privacy arises".
The Government believes that, even when privacy violations happen, it is not an "active intrusion" because the analyst reading or listening to an individual's communication will inevitably forget about it anyway.

Chelsea v Portsmouth: Match preview
Brought to you by
Chelsea v Portsmouth
FA Cup third round
Stamford Bridge
Sunday, January 8. Kick-off: 1500
Didier Drogba and Salomon Kalou are unavailable for Chelsea as they set off for the Africa Cup of Nations with the Ivory Coast.
A decision on the fitness of captain John Terry - who has been struggling with a knee injury - will be made before kick-off.
For Portsmouth, Greg Halford and Joel Ward will return to the fold after serving respective suspensions.
Luke Varney is a doubt with a knee complaint, but Ricardo Rocha should be fit after missing the last two matches with a calf injury.
Di Matteo praises Appleton
Chelsea assistant manager Roberto Di Matteo is looking forward to locking horns with former understudy Michael Appleton at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.
Appleton was working as West Brom's reserve team boss when Di Matteo took over at the Hawthorns, and promptly promoted him into the first team set-up.
The 36-year-old remained at with the Baggies after Di Matteo's departure, until he was offered the chance to take his first senior management role with Portsmouth.
It's been a difficult baptism for Appleton at Fratton Park so far, but Di Matteo expects his former colleague to be a hit on the south coast.
"He was unfortunate with the timing because only a few weeks after he was appointed, the owners of the club had some financial problems and went into administration," said Andre Villas-Boas' No.2.
"But at the moment it seems like they might have a new owner very soon. I hope that is going to happen for him and they will have some more financial resources.
"I sent him my best regards but I haven't spoken to him. I think we will catch up at the game but it will have to be quickly because we are both going to be very busy, but I wish him all the best - after Sunday."News Now - Sport News

I've been meaning to sit down all week to construct this newsletter, but I've been in a magical dance of being present… allowing each moment to move me forward.
I've also been juice feasting and on a journey I refer to as the HOT Raw and Juicy Adventure and somewhere on day 35 or so. I've lost count.
In my latest blog post, I wrote about the challenges I faced when Sun In Bloom's head line chef was out sick for a week. I shared how I steered my challenges from self-sabotage to opportunity.
For me, everyday is a challenge. But, what I've finally come to feel deeply re-connected to is how much joy, happiness, and freedom I feel when I choose to see all the possibility and opportunity that is presented in every challenge.
I remain very committed to my juicing, but I'm also super dedicated to Sun In Bloom and my commitment to offer the most delicious experience. I guess you can say I'm an extremist. When I do something, it's ALL or NOTHING.
So, with the shift in seasons, I've been working on some new recipes and dishes. When I decided to taste a recipe, for a moment, I felt that I sabotaged the juice feast. Like I was no longer clean and would have to start all over again…
But something deep within me profoundly shifted and I started relating to myself in loving, gentle, and accepting way. It was in this shift that I decided I can continue my juice feast while tasting recipes when it's appropriate and necessary. I can continue detoxifying my body and mind, and experience all the healing from this juice feast even if I have to taste a soup recipe or new sauce. This shift from living with an extremist perspective (all or nothing) to being gently and loving with myself marks an evolution in the fabric of my being. I really feel that I am turning the page to a new and exciting chapter of my life. Thank you Sweet Lady Green Juice! (btw, I created a new recipe with green apple and lime – SO delicious!)
Today was a record breaking Saturday at Sun In Bloom. We now have to maintain a wait list for brunch!
I can't explain the depth of gratitude I feel for what I witness happening at the restaurant. I can see the vibrations of our guests rise in reflection to their experience eating our food. And the love and gratitude we feel from each guest is fueling Sun In Bloom to go higher and give it all back in the food we create and serve. Together we create this amazing synergy. Thank you for participating and sharing your energy with us. Together, we can create change in our world and support each other to live our best lives possible.
If it's been a while since you've dined at Sun In Bloom, I hope you will come soon to say hello and witness the magic that is being created.
Also, if you are interested in learning more about cleansing, my wonderful friend John Rosania of Dr. Junger's CLEAN team and I are going to lead another CLEAN cleanse. Please email me (firstname.lastname@example.com) if you'd like to join us. It's a 21-day cleansing program that includes food, shakes, and juice.
CLEAN is the cleansing program that I attribute to saving my life when I hit rock bottom. I found it to be completely accessible at a time when my attention was focused on how sick and tired I felt and there was no hope. My experience with the CLEAN cleanse gave me my health back and helped me see that if I make my health my number one priority, everything else in my life will fall into place.
Love, Aimee
p.s. If you are on Facebook, please support us by LIKING our page. You can also follow Sun In Bloom on Twitter @suninbloom.
This is where I share everyday news and pictures of our dishes. I'm having lot of fun connecting with like-minded people and meeting wonderful new friends. It would be fun to connect with you here too!

James Evans (January 18, 1801 – November 23, 1846) was a Canadian Methodist missionary and amateur linguist. He is best remembered for his creation of the "syllabic" writing system for Ojibwe and Cree, which was later adapted to other languages such as Inuktitut.
Evans was born in Kingston-upon-Hull in England, but emigrated with his parents to Lower Canada in 1820, where he worked as a teacher. He later moved to Rice Lake and continued his teaching work.
In 1833 he was ordained as a Wesleyan (Methodist) minister, and in 1840 he was given authority over the local district in Norway House in Manitoba. During this time Evans did his greatest work - the development of the Ojibwe and Cree scripts. Evans had picked up Ojibwe during his work among the people in Upper Canada. He created the Ojibwe script after first trying to apply a Roman script to their language. Later, he modified syllabics slightly and applied it to Cree, a related language. The scripts were based on Devanagari and Pitman Shorthand. They were easy to learn and led to almost universal literacy among the Canadian Ojibwe and Cree within a few years.

MEXICO BEACH � How do you say good-bye to the love of your life? How do you say good-bye to someone who has been your mate, your best friend, and even your best fishing buddy? For Bonita Thompson, her husband John had been all these things and more. When cancer took John�s life, Bonita knew how she wanted to say good-bye; she would build John a reef.
MEXICO BEACH � How do you say good-bye to the love of your life? How do you say good-bye to someone who has been your mate, your best friend, and even your best fishing buddy? For Bonita Thompson, her husband John had been all these things and more. When cancer took John�s life, Bonita knew how she wanted to say good-bye; she would build John a reef.
It wouldn�t be just any reef; it would be a reef in John and Bonita�s favorite fishing area, the Bell Shoals site three miles off the shores of Mexico Beach, Florida. John and Bonita spent many happy days there, following their passion to hook a cobia, one of the largest, best fighting sport fish in the area.
The Bell Shoals site had just been re-opened for reef building after a 10-year hiatus. The John Thompson Memorial Reef was the first new reef planned for this area. Bonita initially planned to put down three modules, one with a plaque to honor John�s memory. It shortly became evident that family and friends wanted to build John a larger reef. With help from the Mexico Beach Artificial Reef Association (MBARA), Bonita set up a memorial fund. Donations rolled in and the reef grew from three to 21 modules.
Building a reef this size takes time and planning. The Mexico Beach Artificial Reef Association, a non-profit organization that builds reefs off the coast of Mexico Beach, was there to give Bonita all the support she needed. MBARA does a reef deployment one or two times a year. John had passed away in December, so his reef was planned for the scheduled deployment the following April. That allowed time to build all the reef structures, make a trip to build John�s reef, and plan a fitting Life Celebration to be held after the deployment.
On a beautiful day in March, Bonita and John�s sister travelled to Reefmaker�s yard in Orange Beach, AL, where John�s reef would be built. They were joined by MBARA board members Bob and Carol Cox. The Cox�s were there to support Bonita and build a reef for Bob�s grandparents.
Everyone watched as Reefmaker�s crew set about pouring wet concrete into a triangular-shaped mold. They carefully placed the heavy granite plaque lovingly designed by Bonita. The plaque had a poignant message along with John�s portrait. In a corner was a reminder of the happy life Bonita and John had together�a photo of John piloting his boat as Bonita stood on the bow searching out their favorite quarry, cobia.
With the plaque in place, Bonita placed John�s favorite cobia jig in the wet concrete. After time to reflect, Bonita and John�s sister helped the Reefmaker crew add limestone rocks to the panel. The limestone would allow quicker growth of marine organisms on the reef. Once the concrete panel dried, it would be combined with two more panels to form a three-sided pyramid.
In April 2012, the day came for John�s reef to be deployed in the Gulf of Mexico, three miles from the Mexico Beach Canal where John and Bonita made their home. The sun shimmered on calm seas as the Reefmaker boat, escorted by a school of dolphins, approached a small buoy marking the spot for John�s memorial reef. As Bonita and a few family and friends looked on from their boats, the reef containing John�s plaque was gently lowered to its resting place in 21 feet of water. The water was clear and the reef could be seen resting on the bottom. Soon, the other structures were put in place and the boats returned to the canal.
Three days later, a flotilla of more than 30 boats made its way out to John�s reef, with Bonita in the lead. This was John�s Life Celebration service. The weather was almost unnaturally calm; the surface was glassy, and there was no current or wind. With Bonita clutching an urn to her chest, the other boats surrounded her. The engines went silent and Bonita said good-bye as she spread John�s ashes over his reef. Then, as a procession of boats made their way over John�s reef, many friends tossed flowers as they said their own good-byes. Later that day, friends and family gathered outside Bonita�s home to celebrate John�s life.
The next day, Bob and Carol Cox paid a different kind of visit to John�s reef. They dived the reef and took underwater photos and video. Although it had been on the ocean floor for only three days, signs of life where already emerging. A large school of round scad, known by fishermen as cigar minnows, were already schooling around the reef. A few tomtates happily swam around inside their new home. A striped sea star slowly crawled across the sandy bottom. As they returned to their boat and motored away, Bob and Carol were joined by two bottle-nose dolphins.
The story doesn�t end there. John�s friends and family decided to keep building the reef. In April 2013, two more modules were added to the reef. Since then, MBARA has received more donations to add to the site during their next reef deployment.
When most of the reef had been in the water for just over a year, Bob and Carol did another dive. This time they were joined on their boat by Bonita. As they approached the reef, they were able to see how large this reef actually was; the modules were clearly visible from the surface. As the two divers descended to the bottom, they were surrounded by a large school of Atlantic spadefish. In the distance were elusive gag groupers, many of legal size. Gray triggerfish boldly swam straight to the cameras. The reefs had 1 to 3 inches of marine growth on them, such as barnacles and tunicates. It made it difficult to locate the pyramid with the plaque. After much searching, Carol saw a dime-sized spot that looked like black granite. With her dive knife, she was able to scrape off some of the growth and verify the location of the plaque. She and Bob worked 10 minutes to uncover John�s dedication, while small fish picked at the tidbits released during their labors. After taking pictures and video, they returned to the boat to tell Bonita about all the wonderful life that now surrounds John�s reef. For Bonita, she said this was her therapy, to be able to come out to John�s reef and remember the happy times they had together.
John�s story doesn�t end here. His reef will nurture marine life for many generations to enjoy. For those who knew John, going to the reef to fish for cobia is like visiting an old friend. For those not lucky enough to know John Thompson, they will admire him greatly for the living legacy he leaves behind.

Six Months After Sandy—Thank you, Fannie Mae
May 13, 2013
The skies were clear and the air still over Rockaway Park, New York, on October 30, 2012, when a disoriented seagull flew into the lobby window of Robert Burkhardt's apartment building.
An avid fisherman and surfer, he realized from the bird's behavior that slow-moving Hurricane Sandy was about to make landfall and he was right in its path. He hurried upstairs to gather wife Meng and three-year-old son Jack to head for safer ground.
Having lived in their co-op beachfront apartment since 2007, the Burkhardts had seen their share of hurricanes, including Irene earlier in 2012, but Sandy would be different. Sandy directly hit the Rockaway Park beachfront, tearing up the boardwalk, washing away train tracks, and caving in buildings. When the storm passed, the Burkhardts' building had no power or hot water and its lobby was submerged in six feet of water (and left filled with four feet of sand).
The Burkhardts returned, climbing five flights of stairs to reclaim belongings and assess the damage—their apartment, like most in the building, was uninhabitable.
A Difficult Recovery
With little cell reception or access to the Internet, communication with insurance and mortgage companies became challenging. And between paying rent for temporary housing, their mortgage and other bills, money became tight.
Explains Meng: "We kept reaching out to our mortgage company, but not getting the help we needed….We were becoming very frustrated."
Reaching Out to Fannie Mae
The Burkhardts received a letter from Fannie Mae about a local mortgage help event for homeowners affected by Hurricane Sandy. Even though they could not attend the event, the Burkhardts called the number on the letter on January 30 and were connected with Housing Advisor Bernard Francois in Fannie Mae's Mortgage Help Center in Miami.
"Bernard was amazing," Meng says, "he explained our options and helped us work with our mortgage company." The Burkhardts' case was submitted to their mortgage company on February 12 and they signed an agreement for a one-year forbearance on April 16.
A forbearance temporarily suspends or reduces monthly mortgage payments for a specific period of time. After the forbearance period has ended, the homeowner repays the amount that was reduced or suspended. This can be paid as one lump payment, or the mortgage can be modified, and the delinquent payments moved to the end of the mortgage, lengthening the term of the loan.
In the Burkhardts' case, Bernard suggested they consider pursuing a modification at the end of the forbearance period. "This arrangement helps the family stay up-to-date with their mortgage payments while the building is being rehabilitated and they can move back," explains Angelica Vasquez, the manager of the Miami Mortgage Help Center.
Today, the sand is gone, the power has been restored and the elevator is working. If repairs to their apartment stay on schedule, the Burkhardts may be back in by summer. "We're very thankful for the help we've received from Fannie Mae during this difficult time," says Meng, "we feel blessed to have found Fannie Mae and Bernard Francois."
Need Help?
As a reminder, Fannie Mae works directly with mortgage servicers to offer special options for homeowners with Fannie Mae loans who are impacted by natural disasters. Eligible homeowners with a Fannie Mae loan who are experiencing difficulty paying their mortgage may qualify for a:
- forbearance that can suspend or reduce your mortgage payments for up to 12 months if you live in a FEMA declared disaster area.
- suspension of legal actions in process (i.e., foreclosures) in federally designated disaster areas.
Also, homeowners throughout the U.S. with Fannie Mae loans who are struggling to pay their mortgage can get information and free assistance in person or over the phone at a Fannie Mae Mortgage Help Center.

Every week -- often with your help -- Food52's Senior Editor Kristen Miglore is unearthing recipes that are nothing short of genius.
Today: Cauliflower becomes centerpiece, and a stunning vegetarian main is born.
As you already know, cauliflower takes well to roasting. All those clammy, starchy crevices get nutty and sweet and come into their own -- catching oils, crisping, browning, basking.
But here's a twist: you don't even need to floret it first. Like a chicken, a cauliflower is roastable by design.
It's not quite as simple as chucking it in the oven as-is -- although you could do that. People do. But if, instead, you go with chef Alon Shaya's way -- which is nearly as easy -- you can control the seasoning all the way to the core.
"I started making the whole roasted cauliflower two years ago after returning from a trip to Israel." Shaya wrote to me. "Fried cauliflower with yogurt is a very classic dish there. I loved that dish so much that I wanted to recreate it in a way that showed off the beauty of the whole vegetable."
More: Genius, 3-ingredient cauliflower soup from Paul Bertolli.
At Shaya's New Orleans restaurant Domenica, this means sous-vide, then an 800° F pizza oven. At home, it's a big pot and whatever oven came in your wall. No matter.
First, you'll make a quick winey, punchy broth.
Once it's hot, lower in your cauliflower to poach for about 15 minutes.
Then you'll dredge it up and set it in a roasting pan. Save that broth too! It could be considered a boozy first course (the vegetarian version of pot-au-feu), or the base to tomorrow's risotto or pasta sauce, or a means for cooking more vegetables or fish.
You might think the thing would have a hard time browning after such a thorough soak, but don't get out the hair dryer yet. The small amounts of olive oil and butter in the poaching liquid are enough to cling to all of the cauliflower's folds and curves, which don't hesitate to brown and crackle up in a hot oven.
Your pale, plain cauliflower is about to come alive. The best part: any spots that are lying flat against the pan go as crisp and bronze as a roast suckling pig. (So make sure you hack the stem down enough to get some of those.)
Meanwhile you'll fluff up a creamy, funky sauce -- it's goat cheese on feta on cream cheese, with a little cream and olive oil to loosen them all up. Shaya explains, "It reminds me of one of my true loves, Israeli labneh."
Now you'll tip over more olive oil and scatter on some hunky salt, then carve it into wedges or break it off limb by limb, dragging each through tides of cheese -- dark crust against clean white, the only reminder of the wallflower it used to be.

Instructor: Shalisa Pouw, of Denver, who co-owns the Boulder franchise with Mish Metz, of Golden. Both women have a background in dance and met dancing for the Denver Nuggets.
Pouw, who taught my class, started teaching Pure Barre October 2009 in Cherry Creek and decided shortly thereafter that she wanted to open a Boulder branch.
What is the workout? Pure Barre is a specific, full-body muscle-toning technique that combines ballet, Pilates and yoga principles, driven by music. Students use the ballet barre to perform small isometric moves that lift your seat (glutes), tone your thighs and burn fat. The moves are no-impact and easy on the joints. Each strength portion of class is following by stretching to lengthen muscles.
"It's the safest, most effective and fastest way to change your body," Pouw says.
In fact, Pure Barre claims that students will see results in 10 classes.
What's different: Pure Barre uses its own technique, distinguishing it from other ballet-barre classes. It was created by a dancer, so the classes have a strong emphasis on music. The instructor carries a remote control and changes the songs to complement each exercise, increasing volume when participants need to push harder. The music is key to getting you through such a challenging hour.
Pure Barre's moves are totally different than standard moves in other toning classes, and seem to have more cardio than a standard Pilates class. The energizing music makes the classes different than yoga or ballet classes.
Inspiration for class: Pouw and Metz decided to open a Boulder branch after they saw so much change in their own bodies after doing Pure Barre.
"It changed both of our lives," Metz says. "And to see people change in front of you is rewarding. We're extremely passionate about it."
Who does it? Class is capped at 25 students. My class had 17, all women, although men are welcome. Participants have ranged from age 18-65, although my class seemed like a lot of women in their 20s and 30s (or else they use great face cream; I didn't check birth certificates).
Level: Any fitness level, from beginner to advanced, because moves can be modified. But this class is challenging. I thought it was a nine on a 10-point scale. During some exercises my thighs were shaking so hard that I almost fell over. For reals.
Format: Every class uses different exercises, but the general format is as follows: warm-up, three thigh exercises, stretch, right seat work, stretch, left seat work, stretch, wall series (against the wall with a round and then flat back, working the abs), abs away from the wall, stretching and a little more seat and back work at the end.
Equipment: All provided. Tubing, ball, mat (my mat actually smelled good — never experienced that before), 2– to 3-pound hand weights (expect to do a lot of reps). Bring a water bottle.
What to wear: Long pants, a shirt that covers your stomach and socks. This is to keep the muscles warm when you're stretching in between working. Also, you burn more calories if you keep the heat in, Pouw says.
Muscles worked: Full body with an emphasis on the areas that women struggle with: abs, hips, seat and arms.
How I felt after the class: Is it possible to already feel stronger after just one class? Even if it's not, that's how I feel.
How I felt later: I feel sore exactly where they said I would be: triceps, abs, hamstrings, glutes. I loathe the stairs. I'm not sure my abs have ever been more sore after a single workout. I want to do another class.

"Spinning Plates" is a foodie phantasmagoria and something more. On one level a series of mini-docs on a trio of wildly different eating establishments, it becomes a group portrait of the restaurant business as well as an involving look at personal dramas that go well beyond the kitchen.
This is the first documentary feature for writer-director Joseph Levy (who previously produced the Food Network series "Into the Fire"), and he has been shrewd in the three restaurants he profiles — places that have passionate, articulate key personnel who would all agree that, as one of them puts it, "This is not just our job; this is our life."
The highest-end place, not just in the film but according to fans throughout the country, is Alinea in Chicago, whose chef, Grant Achatz, is a charismatic and volatile culinary visionary.
PHOTOS: Fall movie sneaks 2013
A veteran of four years at the French Laundry, Achatz is a kind of scientist/chef, a leader in a trend called molecular gastronomy who puts hours of experimentation into dishes so complex the man himself looks on them as absurd. Among the culinary challenges on his mind is the first visit to Chicago by Michelin Guide judges and his determination to get the maximum three stars.
It's not Michelin stars but Mother's Day that concerns Mike and Cindy Breitbach, owners of Breitbach's Country Dining in the hamlet of Balltown, Iowa. The town may have only 70 inhabitants, but the restaurant can serve more than 2,000 people on a major holiday.
The oldest restaurant and bar in the state, the place has had Breitbachs owning and operating it for six generations. More than that, it serves as a community center — half a dozen customers have keys of their own and can be counted on to open the place themselves if the owners are running late.
Humbler still is a Mexican restaurant in Tucson called La Cocina de Gabby. Open only eight months as the film begins, with no employees outside of family, it is the culmination of a lifetime dream for Francisco Martinez, who thinks his wife, Gabby, "cooks like an angel." Gabby was so passionate about wanting to open a restaurant featuring her mother's and grandmother's recipes that she sold her jewelry to help get it off the ground.
PHOTOS: Hollywood backlot moments
Given the widely varied cuisines and customer bases of these three places, it comes as a fascinating surprise when interviews reveal how much the spirit and energy behind these establishments have in common.
Not only do all the chefs and owners share the desire and the dream of expressing themselves through food, no matter how humble or exalted, they also understand that each and every restaurant experience has to be a treat of some kind for the customer.
"Every restaurant exists to entertain people," says Nick Kokonas, Alinea's owner. "No one needs to eat out."
"Spinning Plates" offers enough tantalizing footage of food being prepared to turn this into one of those features that should not be seen on an empty stomach. But what raises this film to a more interesting level is that in addition to the food, each segment presents a personal drama that extends beyond the table.
For Alinea, the crisis involves chef Achatz's health, for Breitbach's it's what could be called acts of god, and for La Cocina de Gabby the problem is financial. In each case, what French Laundry owner Thomas Keller calls the "total dedication and total commitment" that restaurants demand is very much put to the test.

Without picking favorite, Tracy compares Trout, Harper
TEMPE, Ariz. -- Chad Tracy is that rare player who has shared a clubhouse with both Bryce Harper and Mike Trout, albeit briefly with the latter.
And no, he isn't picking any favorites.
TEMPE, Ariz. -- Chad Tracy is that rare player who has shared a clubhouse with both Bryce Harper and Mike Trout, albeit briefly with the latter.
And no, he isn't picking any favorites.
"Can't do that," the 33-year-old corner infielder said, laughing. "They're both good."
There's no question Trout, the Angels' 22-year-old center fielder, has had the better career thus far, finishing second to Miguel Cabrera for the American League's Most Valuable Player Award in back-to-back seasons and gaining widely-held recognition as the best all-around player in baseball.
But Harper, the Nationals' 21-year-old corner outfielder, has posted a .272/.353/.481 slash line with 42 homers the last two years and continues to get better.
The pair -- both Rookie of the Year Award winners in 2012 -- have constantly been compared, from the time they came up through the system to their stint on the Arizona Fall League's Scottsdale Scorpions in 2011 to the 2012 All-Star Game they both played in the following July.
But they couldn't be any more different, from their demeanor to their style of play to their overall success.
The biggest difference, Tracy says, lies in their swings.
"I think Harp's swing provides the higher, longer-type home run when he makes contact," Tracy said. "Trout, he hits the hard line drives that either knock the infield down or if he just misses it then he knocks it out of the park. It just seems like the long, majestic home runs in BP are not his deal. He tends to use less energy and work on a nice, short, smooth stroke during batting practice, and then in the games the same swing provides line-drive home runs.
"They're both really mature for their age. I haven't really interacted with Trout off the field yet; it's all been in here. But I know for a fact that Harp's a really good kid, and it seems the same with Mike, too. He's very energetic. He seems like he gets along with everybody."

The Journal of Ethology features reviews and original papers relating to all aspects of animal behavior, including traditional ethology. Papers on field, laboratory, or theoretical studies are welcomed. In contrast to many other ethological journals that prefer studies testing explicit hypotheses, the Journal of Ethology is interested both in observational studies and in experimental studies. However, the authors of observational studies are always requested to provide background information about behaviors in their study and an appropriate context to establish the scientific importance of their observation, which in turn produces fascinating hypotheses to explain the behaviors.

Kovacevic: Pirates aim to be … Hells Angels?
Even as these Pirates keep muddling through Epic Collapse II, their minor league prospects spent the past weekend in Florida inexplicably, indefensibly performing military drills under the direction of former Navy SEALS. No bats, no balls, no gloves.
Yeah, this again.
Here's the deal: Since I brought this topic to light in a column last Friday, many, many more people have come forward to express their disdain for Neal Huntington and his assistant, Kyle Stark, for adding three days of soldier-level training to their Instructional League regimen. And in every case, those people have contacted me, not the other way around.
A few readers asked if I would have written last week's column in June or July, when the Pirates were flying high. The answer is almost certainly no. But that's only because a) the event just happened and b) the mood wasn't the same for these people to talk.
So let's start with the SEALS activity list I was texted. And bear in mind, these are baseball players:
• Wake up at 5 a.m.
• Organize room/locker
• Pushups and sit-ups
• Serpentine on the grass
• Crab walk
• Running along the beach with a telephone-type pole, carried by five or six players
• Pushing a truck tire through the outfield for 90 feet, then flipping it
• Being sprayed by a hose
• Diving into a sand pile
All with a drill sergeant barking orders throughout.
When the Penguins had a team-building session at West Point in 2007, their most grueling exercise, according to most players, was an extended round of jumping jacks.
I'll repeat: These aren't soldiers. They're baseball players. Their training varies from position to position. They're also teenagers for the most part. Most have never heard of these types of exercises, much less prepared mentally or physically to endure them. Ask anyone in the military, and they'll attest there's no comparison between what they do and even the highest level of athletics.
Most of the people who called have used fierce language to denounce this, none more so than those within the Pirates who obviously can't speak on the record for fear of their jobs.
That's OK. I'll say it for them: It's a joke.
And it's doubly so in the context of an organization that's seen prospect after prospect arrive in Pittsburgh lacking in the most basic fundamentals.
But don't take my word. Have a laugh yourself at how goofy the Pirates' development approach has become and why they are, as one American League scout put it, "the laughingstock of the industry."
On June 28 at 5:22 p.m., Stark sent an email to his minor league managers and coaches, copies of which were forwarded to me from within the organization. Huntington, who promoted Stark to assistant GM last winter, was copied on the email. I confirmed Thursday that neither Bob Nutting nor Frank Coonelly was.
"So what do we need to get done in the second half?" Stark opens the email.
He then stresses developing "boys into men" for the purpose of reaching the majors, listing three points: "Dream and be creative like a Hippie. Have the discipline and perseverance of a Boy Scout. Be crazy and take risks like the Hells Angels."
Yeah, those Hells Angels.
The famous motorcycle club that is listed as an organized crime syndicate by the U.S. Department of Justice. The one that poses "a criminal threat" in 27 nations because of drug trafficking, theft, money laundering, extortion, assault and homicide.
Here's guessing "Play ball!" isn't their motto.
More Stark: "The biggest impact we can have is developing more Hells Angels. We are really good at working before games. We excel at developing Boy Scouts. However, men play in the Big Leagues and that requires the reckless abandon of a Hells Angel. They're not consumed or swayed by what others think. They sell out to their purpose and live life fully and in-the-moment ('this pitch')."
The nonsense goes on for several paragraphs, including this cultish creepiness: "At the end of the day, the Hells Angels are fiercely loyal to each other. … They love each other. Are our players bound by brotherhood? Are we bound by brotherhood?"
And this: "We must get out of our comfort zones and flex our own Hells Angel muscle. We must be extreme in our commitment to these ideas. This is ultimately about developing a mentality and a culture where this becomes our identity. A culture of risk and less control is unsettling for us control freaks!"
Unsettling, indeed.
Stark, 34, has zero military background. Truth be told, he didn't come to the Pirates with much of a baseball background, either. He played volleyball in school, spent two years as pitching coach at St. Bonaventure and worked in the Indians' system for four years.
And yet Stark has been running a baseball system in a military way — including cleaning house of established baseball men to hire like-minded coaches — for five years here.
His email ends with this: "HOKA HEY — It's a good day to die!!!"
This was the battle cry of the Native American hero Crazy Horse.
Crazy, indeed.
Or power hungry.
Or just plain incompetent.

It is now eight years since I returned to Sri Lanka, after 33 years living overseas, 18 in the United Kingdom, and 15 in the United States.
There are so many who consider a return to their roots at some point in their lives, but cannot summon the courage to do so. It is the security of finances, an opening to return in case things don't work out, and a better quality of life that they look for as compared with what they currently have.
Very few return to Sri Lanka on account of their children, because they wish to educate them on a value system that is different to that in the host country they currently live in. What does that say about their confidence in the system they left behind? Simply that they are concerned that the standards, morals, and way of life is deteriorating, and not better than their host country.
If one lives in Sri Lanka one is exposed to a high degree of finger pointing to the big bad West intent on exploiting our people. However the reality is that people line up to get away from Sri Lanka for innumerable reasons, and are willing to pay exorbitant sums, selling everything they got, as well as borrow as much as they can to do so to any one of those big bad Western Countries.
When I look back on my decision to return, my main desire was for a new life, which I could start afresh, not an extension of a previous life, not a better life or any form of retirement. That I have experienced all this in huge amounts is an understatement. I believe I have documented numerous instances in this blog, and the related blogs about my new experiences and frustrations, but they are all new to me. That is the distinct difference in my outlook, experience and looking back on the very serious and risky decision I took.
The first shock was the Tsunami which struck within 4 weeks of returning and the attendant horrors, post tsunami clean up and scramble to share the spoils, a very unseemly process that both Western and Local people engaged in.
I did not come back with money, I had even closed all my bank accounts. I did not plan for a quick exit if things did not turn my way, I came back and that's final. There was no looking back just forward, and I really did not know what to expect. As I just noted, I was not returning to familiar territory, it was to completely strange surroundings that I turned to, to new acquaintances, and to call them friends I would have to be sure I could rely on them in times of need.
That latter was shattered when I had my accident and people I thought I could trust, took what was left after the floods in Hingurakgoda, had washed away part of my belongings two weeks previously. So much for good neighborliness!
A lesson one learns is in a society where people expect something free, they all think that they are the most deserving, and taking something from someone they think has more, is not considered bad! You pick your friends from those who never expect, and are grateful for what they have or are given.
I am asked what I consider myself to be. After all when I returned, I had lived more in England than I had in Sri Lanka. I lived independently and so I was not exposed to a Sri Lankan home or culture there. So I lived as one of the Host Country and appreciated everything that country had to offer, and did not harbor a prejudice against the people living in either the UK or USA.
Therefore I am a product of these three countries, not particularly purely of one. It is an advantage to be this way, as one can appreciate the best of three cultures as each has good and bad traits that one can measure using one's own experience of immersion. In that I feel fortunate, as it is a privilege not open to all.
I don't have a great desire to return to either of the countries I left, mainly because of my economic circumstances, and would not be able to make the most of a trip to do what I like. After all there are a few things I would do and buy if I was there, and if one is unable so to do, there is no point in making the journey just for old time's sake. That said all my ambitions, goals and desires have turned inward to Sri Lanka, and in that respect it is a manageable route to keep focus of.
The new life post accident has been traumatic, with the loss of much of the independence I took for granted, and I have still to recover completely from its effects, and disabilities, not an easy process, but one I try to forget with the work I am currently engaged in.
I have not intentionally forgotten many of the friendships I made in those years, but have realized that keeping them going with just email exchange does nothing for mutual fulfillment. I always tell people check on my blogs, but lately I have not been good at keeping up with my activities here, and only adding to my thoughts in my related blog www.kalpanakaranna.blogspot.com
Hopefully in 2013 I will try to document interesting events during the year.

Activation Lock is a feature of Find My. It's designed to keep information safe and prevent reactivation of lost or stolen devices. Lost Mode is used to lock a missing device, display a message on its screen, and find its location.
Learn how to use MDM tools to manage Activation Lock and Lost Mode on supervised devices.
Activation Lock on supervised devices
You can use a compatible MDM solution to enable Activation Lock during setup or when the user turns on Find My. Then you can clear Activation Lock to erase the device and deploy it to a new user. Learn how to manage Activation Lock with Profile Manager. Or refer to your MDM solution documentation for details.
Lost Mode and Managed Lost Mode
If Find My is turned on, the user can activate Lost Mode when they sign in to iCloud. They can use Lost Mode to lock a missing device and track its location.
With iOS 9.3 or later, you can use MDM to put a supervised device into Managed Lost Mode. Managed Lost Mode is a dedicated mode that you must disable before anyone can use the device again. You can send messages to the device while the device is in Managed Lost Mode. But only the MDM server can access device location information when the device is in Managed Lost Mode. The user can't unlock the device until you turn off Managed Lost Mode. The user is notified if anyone accessed location information during that time.
Refer to your MDM solution documentation for additional details.
Activation Lock on unsupervised devices
MDM can't control Activation Lock on unsupervised devices. On an unsupervised device, Activation Lock is enabled when the user signs in to iCloud and turns on Find My.
If you deploy unsupervised devices, the previous user must turn off Find My before you deploy the device to a new user. Follow these steps:
- If the user has access to the iOS or iPadOS device, they can turn it off in Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Find My [device].
- If the user doesn't have access to the iOS or iPadOS device, they can sign in to iCloud.com or the Find My app on another iOS or iPadOS device. Then erase the device and remove it from the device list.
