Updated from Jan. 11, 2013, 10 a.m. to include management of Beats' new music service.
He wants to control every aspect of the sound. With Beats, he can even control how it sounds after it leaves the studio, how it sounds in your ears. But those control issues are married with great business instincts. Where another artist would sell T-shirts and crap or slap his stage name on a brand of perfume, Dre has taken merchandizing to a whole new level, creating a substantial business. With Beats by Dre, the artist brand and the company brand work together as equal partners. It was a brilliant move and, in the process, he actually changed the face of the audio products market and set a new benchmark for other entrepreneurs. Dr. Dre founded Beats in 2006 with Jimmy Iovine, chairman and CEO of Interscope/Geffen/A&M, ostensibly to create a listener experience comparable to the recording studio. Small, high-quality home audio systems already existed -- Bose had pioneered the space -- but widely used products that appealed to the young popular music crowd were simply absent. Think about it: Where have you seen Bose outside of magazine ads? A coffee table or bookshelf in a well-to-do living room or bedroom. The company's products are sleek and the sound quality is remarkable but the appeal is quiet, staid and low-key. Apart from Bose, other makers of headphones just didn't seem interested in marketing an improved audio experience, particularly not for the average pop music listener. Beats saw the opening and took it, putting out a cool-looking line of high-quality audio headphones designed to rock the house anywhere, anytime. Colorful and packaged with trademark audio technology, they were branded with Dre's producer cred and marketed with a $200-to-$300 price point.

any content that aids in observing practices
A Greek translation of The AAVSO DSLR Observing Manual is now available for download.
Many thanks to Mr. Stelios Kleidis for his tremendous volunteer effort in creating this excellent translation.
Εγχειρίδιο για την οπτική παρατήρηση των μεταβλητών αστέρων (6.2 MB)
Predicted Dates of Maxima and Minima of 380 Long Period Variables for 2015
The AAVSO maintains several lists of stars for which observations are strongly encouraged. These are primarily stars for which the AAVSO already has well-covered light curves spanning several decades or longer, and for which we deem there is value in continuing observations indefinitely.
The following is a list of stars present in the VSX catalog as of 2013 March 7 that are known or suspected of being constant and have been visually observed in the past. You should not observe these stars anymore; if they are a part of your visual observing program, please remove them immediately.
The list is divided into three parts: named variables first, followed by NSV stars, and then a small number of GSC stars. In the case of the GSC stars, these are primarily previously used comparison stars suspected of being variable at some time in the past.
I am very pleased to announce that we now have TWO Chinese translations of the AAVSO Manual for Visual Observing of Variable Stars available for downloading. The newest addition to our collection of Manual translations is in "Traditional Chinese" which is used in Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and parts of southeast Asia. This beautiful translation was done by Tao Fan-Lin (陶蕃麟) who is the Director of the Taipei Association of Astronomy Now.
You can get both versions of the Chinese Manual here:
The 2013 JD Calendar is now available.
Go to the JD Calendar page and scroll down to the bottom where you will be able to view or download the new calendar.
Clear Skies!
The AAVSO is happy to provide a copy of Bob Nelson's O-C files for Eclipsing Binaries for 2012. These files can be used for observation planning, and are a valuable resource for EB observers.
Thanks once again for Bob Nelson for providing this service to the EB community.
Predicted Dates of Maxima and Minima of 381 Long Period Variables for 2012
The Manual for Visual Observing of Variable Stars is now available in Persian (Farsi).
This translation would not have been possible without the hard work and dedication of volunteers Fatemeh Bahrani and her colleagues, Ali Honarmand, Fateme Kayanikhoo, Mozhde Mohamadi, Sajad Safari, and Arezoo Saleki of the Dr. Hesabi Institute in Shiraz, Iran (http://www.dr-hesabi.org).

This article is from the archive of our partner .
Now that Tumblr is a Yahoo! property, just like the beleaguered Flickr, some are predicting the service's death already and the deal hasn't even been officially announced yet. Those people are dramatic teens who use Tumblr but that's still a pretty big deal.
It's no secret that teens are the lifeblood of newer social networks like Tumblr and Instagram. They prefer Tumblr to social networks for olds like Facebook and Twitter. They sit around after school and make an endless amount of One Direction GIFs. Despite some late rumblings to the contrary, AllThingsD's Kara Swisher confirmed Yahoo!'s board of directors approved the deal to buy Tumblr for $1.1 billion on Sunday. An official announcement is expected on Monday at a previously announced press conference. (Not so coincidentally, Swisher and her colleague Peter Kafka were denied press passes to the Yahoo! press conference.) Anyway, those teens that make up most of Tumblr's userbase are not taking news of the deal well. Yahoo! is just another relic belonging to olds on the Internet to these teens. Some chimed in on Twitter:
bye never signing into tumblr again theatlanticwire.com/technology/201…— dom (@nopelarry) May 19, 2013
theatlanticwire.com/technology/201… I CAN ACTUALLY FEEL THE TEARS IN MY EYES.— Helen (@melonbraders) May 19, 2013
NO APPARENTLY YAHOO IS SUPPOSED TO BOOST TUMBLR'S REVENUE BY ADDING ADS TO THE SITE HOLY HELL LORD HELP US ALL OMG theatlanticwire.com/technology/201…— damn straight. ∞(@making_it_shine) May 19, 2013
*imagine dragons voice* this is it the apocalypse whoooaaa theatlanticwire.com/technology/201…— Trina Saavedra ϟ (@Trina_Rowe) May 19, 2013
There were even some choice reactions in our comments section. We don't normally jump down there for reaction posts, but these ones seemed special enough to include:
This one is a personal favorite:
But everyone knows the real action has been happening on the "Yahoo" Tumblr tag all afternoon. If you've jumped in there at any point this afternoon, teens of all stripes and colors have been non stop reaction-GIFing and photoshopping their overdramatic feelings about the deal. They don't seem all that excited:
And last but certainly not least:
Can we confirm that all of these people are teens? No, not exactly. But the use of multiple o's and the GIFs and usernames like "Nineties Kid." are all pretty good signs.
The best GIF representation of the deal might be this one, though. It'll be interesting to watch for Tumblr's current users protesting the Yahoo! purchase in any meaningful way, like finding a new blogging service to fill with GIFs, or if this is just a bunch of millenials overreacting to news that won't affect them for months. Tumblr isn't going to be a soft purple tomorrow when they wake up tomorrow. Any effects from this sale won't be seen for a while.
Oh well. There are other ways Yahoo! could raise their cool factor in the mean time:
LONG overdue. RT @jamiemottram: If Yahoo! wants to be cool again it could just drop the exclamation point.— Matt Ufford (@mattufford) May 19, 2013
Until then, we'll just have to wait for the banner ads to roll in and see how the community reacts.

A Yankee walks into a bar in Alabama and orders a cosmopolitan. The bartender looks at the man and says, "You're not from 'round here are ya?"
"No" replies the man, "I'm from New Hampshire." The bartender looks at him and says, "Well what do you do in New Hampshire?"
"I'm a taxidermist," says the man. The bartender looks bewildered, so the man explains, "I mount dead animals."
The bartender stands back and hollers to the whole bar, "It's OK, boys! He's one of us!"

(Series 7, Ep.27) Poor Josh. He took some illegal medications and they rather upset him mentally, so he took some prescription medications and that helped for a while, but now he's stopped taking them and he's really, really upset. What you don't want when you're feeling frgaile is to become darkly obsessed with the Plague – who knew it had had such an impact on Rochdale? – via the medium of the film you're making for A level Media studies. Making a no-budget Hammer horror film – slash – historical documentary in the school basement wasn't a good idea, either, as people generally only go there to have a breakdown. Poor Josh. It all led to him thinking he had the plague and scratching his arm to shreds during an exam. An ambulance was called, but to compound Josh's trouble he was unlucky enough to have non-speaking extras as paramedics, so they weren't much help.
Meanwhile, it was Janeece's wedding. Chalky had laid on a pink stretch limo for her, and practically the entire school (15 speaking pupils and a handful of silent extras) managed to hide behind it to spring out and surprise her. I was surprised that she didn't want Our Cheryl at the wedding. It's not like Janeece to miss an opportunity to deck her child out in something from the Katie Price Budget Bridesmaid Range. I was less surprised that the groom failed to show, because it was obvious from his very first appearance that that man was up to no good. It was doubly obvious last week when he kept telling her he wasn't bothered about money. To place that much emphasis on not being bothered about money can only mean you're really bothered about money. So while poor Janeece was at the registry office waiting for him, he was busy packing all her worldly goods into a big van. The cad. She really needs to fall for Chalky. I know he's not much to look at, but he can play the guitar, ride a bike (sort of) and he'll never pack all her worldly goods into a big van and drive them away. Quite a catch, in other words. The reception went ahead at the school, and we discovered that Janeece has no friends or relatives of her own, because there was no-one at the wedding apart from school staff and pupils.
Meanwhile, can I just say that Jack McMullen is a bloody brilliant actor? When Trudi miscarried the baby, Finn finally got to find out about the pregnancy. In times of dire need, Finn can be the most fabulous boyfriend. He was lovely with Sam and he was lovely with Trudi. And when he was on his own, he broke his heart. Bless him. In what was not Finn's happiest ever week, his new car got smashed up by Tariq and Kyle Stack, and this led Finn to a decision that he probably already regrets. He decided to join a rival gang. When we last saw him he was being beaten up in an attempt to prove his gang-worthiness. Oh, Finn. You're so much better than that.
And Jez was told he can come back to work, but he has to "Steer clear of Mercedes" (the pupil, not the cars). This will not be difficult, as she was only Guest Pupil for one week and has now vanished again.
Next time: Someone called Shelby (Guest Pupil of next week) has a problem with alcohol and Kyle Stack is in trouble for an illegal vodka scam. Thank goodness Our Josh is safely sedated in a hospital somewhere. Dodgy vodka is the last thing he needs.

|System: Xbox 360, PS3
|Dev: From Software, Namco Bandai Games
|Pub: Namco Bandai Games
|Release: TBA 2011
|Players: 1
|Screen Resolution: 480p-1080p
by Sean Engemann
Before I get ahead of myself, let me clarify one thing. Dark Souls is not a sequel, but rather a spiritual successor to the 2009 critically acclaimed Demon's Souls. Codenamed Project Dark, Dark Souls was recently announced as the official title by developers From Software and Namco Bandai Games. Aside from some gameplay upgrades, the main reason Dark Souls is not being called a sequel is that it takes place on a new world with a new storyline.
How you explore this new world will also be a new experience. In Demon's Souls, you travelled to the different locales from the "hub" world, Nexus. This is also where you would purchase new equipment. In Dark Souls, all the locations are connected and transitioning between them is seamless. Although Dark Souls is in a different "universe," the setting remains a dark medieval backdrop, with eerie forests, temples, underground areas surrounded by lava, and plenty of ruined castles to explore. Nothing is set in the world just for looks either. If you see a tower in the distance, you will be able to travel there and explore it. The game looks gorgeous, but every inch presents possible danger. If you were worried about what fiend lay in wait around the corner in Demon's Souls, you'll probably want an extra pair of underwear close by for this one. Also, because of the more open environment, expect surprise attacks from all angles and distances.
Many gamers, even über-skillful ones, would easily claim the harsh difficulty of Demon's Souls is unmatched. Well, if you hoped that developers would take that critique into consideration, prepare to be sorely disappointed. Dark Souls will be just as hard, if not harder than its predecessor. Learning from mistakes made in battle and adjusting strategy through memorization of your surroundings and how each monster attacks, will remain a strong focus. Expect to die (a lot), but take each death as a learning experience. With patience and persistence, every battle can be won, and the rewards will be well worth the time, effort, and many deaths. The ways to die are so vast and varied, you may even yearn to discover all the different methods. Deadly arrows, slicing pendulums, and gigantic beasts will send you back to try your luck time and time again.
To help, many different weapons and armor can be acquired, each with a unique combat style. With light and heavy sword, daggers, maces, axes, shields, and many other choices, there are over 100 different combat combinations to test. While you may become attached to a particular weapon set, remember that this is highly strategic combat, and certain combinations may work better against certain monsters. Spells will also bolster your combat capabilities, with many different variations to explore. Fireballs, spells that turn your skin to iron to make you tougher (but slower), and even spells that turn you into a vase to evade detection, all help round out your tactics.
The developers have taken great care to keep the online network system from Demon's Souls intact, which arguably remains one of the more clever utilizations of multiplayer in any game. You'll still be able to check out the bloodstains of other players, watch how they died and learn from it, as well as leave hint messages for others to find. There will be no dedicated servers this time, instead a more "mutual role-playing" experience can be expected. From Software hasn't revealed any specifics about new online features, but my best guess (and hope) is that co-op will not be limited to a party of three, and that it will be playable in a more concrete fashion than the soul forms from Demon's Souls. Another big hope is that voice chat will available in Dark Souls. Although the emote system worked well for Demon's Souls, being able to verbally strategize with other players before launching into a tough boss battle is something I'm crossing my fingers for.
Finally, Xbox 360 owners will not be left in the dark (no pun intended) for Dark Souls, as this one will be released for both the Xbox 360 and the PS3. While the PS3 will probably have an edge in with the visuals, I expect the gameplay to be equal on both consoles, with a quick response time for the complex controls.
No official release date is been confirmed, but developers are hinting at fall 2011. With the core gameplay intact from Demon's Souls, and upgrades in difficulty, exploration, equipment, and online features, Dark Souls aims to be a worthy successor.

Ohio Edison and FirstEnergy have selected a contractor to begin tree and vegetation pruning or removal services under and around utility lines in Ravenna beginning Jan. 2.
Dave Mathers of Asplundh Tree Expert Co. will visit property owners within the next few weeks to notify them of the trees that will be affected, the type of pruning that will take place, how much clearance is needed under and around the lines and an approximate time frame.
If a resident is not home, a door hanger will be left for the property owner with the information.
Any wood that is 6 inches in diameter or larger will be cut into firewood size pieces and will be left on the property near the base of the tree. Property owners will be responsible for disposal or use of the wood. All stumps will be left and, in most cases, will be cut flush with the ground.
Any tree pruning or removal is mandated by federal law.
For information, visit ww.firstenergycorp.com. Select Ohio Edison as the Operating Company, then click on "safety" and look for the "maintaining trees" link.

For decades, science journalism has held a key position in conveying the ongoing endeavor of research to the public. A number of trends, some of which we've discussed here, have seriously eroded that position in recent years. Good science journalism is getting hard to find, as the Internet has allowed any news outlet to rehash a science press release, and any journalist to put their spin on the underlying data. But the Internet has also given scientists themselves the opportunity to directly convey their results and methods to the public without the need for the intervening layer of journalists. The ever-growing roster of science bloggers suggests that many find value of some sort in reaching out to the public.
Some researchers (who apparently wish to remain unidentified) want to look into the role that blogging scientists are playing in connecting the public to scientific information. To that end, they've started an online survey, which they hope to use as the basis for research on this topic and eventual publication. Leaving aside the issue of whether Nobel Intent is a blog or an exercise in journalism, it attracts an audience that's both reasonably scientifically literate, and clearly interested in science and the results it produces. Which is why I felt that you'd be a good audience to take the survey.
I'm not going to give my opinion on the topics they're examining so that I don't skew the data, but I am very interested in seeing the results of the survey.

"VT100 Emulation" Wow!! Talk about a blast from the past. I do not think I have used a VT100 emulator for 20 years and surprised and maybe a little nostalgic that they still have use in the world today. Although, with death of DEC and other mainframes I am at a loss to guess where there use is.
Not sure if this will be helpful in your search for code, but the vt-100 terminal was, itself, an emulation of the ASR-33 Teletype.

Americruise is Back!
The Americruise has taken some licks the last few years. In the past, being moved at what seemed like the last minute didn't give people enough time to plan vacations to make the event. It was even reduced to just a driving event that ended at another event for two years. Well, this year we got it off and running again with enough time to promote and plan a better event. After spending the weekend in Lincoln, it's safe to say the Americruise is off to another good start.
The Nebraska State Fairgrounds was packed with hot rods, customs, street rods, classic trucks, musclecars, and just about any other massaged pre-'72 car of which you could think. The weather held out, although it was hot just like the rest of the country, but thankfully there are plenty of shade trees on the grounds.
We set up our driving events, and after a slow start, we got a few curious rodders out on the courses. After a few passes, most of the adventurous ones were hooked and kept coming back for more. Thankfully we're not aware of any breakage, but then again we had the course set up pretty tight to help keep spends down.
The two new awards we were handing out (Rod of the Year and Custom of the Year) brought out some stunning examples that filled the special parking area and gave the staff plenty to mull over when it came time to narrow it down to just five in each class. On Saturday, the spectators were treated to the action as these 10 hot rods and customs showed that they were more than just rolling art. Some of the owners pushed their cars harder than others, but each one walked away with a little better appreciation of what their car could do.
We're already starting to plan next year's event, but we're still finalizing a date, so stay tuned. Now all the R&C staff needs to do is to try to get some time away from the office and spend some time in the garage getting a couple rides ready to make the trip.
Getting Out Of The Lawn Chairs
The driving events were new additions to the Americruise program this year. Set up mostly for fun, the Autocross sponsored by Air Ride Technologies and the Go & Whoa sponsored by ABS Power Brakes Inc. gave rodders an opportunity to really see what both their car and they could do when they didn't have to worry about getting a ticket or other motorists getting in the way when their foot decided to get a little heavy.
The contestants for the Rod & Custom Rod of the Year and Custom of the Year also competed in these competitions as part of the selection process for the big titles, and the more they ran, the more fun each of the owners had. Look for even more fun on the track at next year's event!
If you're looking to cruise in style, Jim Hatcher's '56 T-bird is about as elegant a piece of hot rod transportation as you're going to find thanks to a little trim removal, a custom grille, and lots of block sanding. A ProCharger supercharger force-feeds the small-block Ford through the stock EFI. Power is transferred through the auto overdrive trans. Lots of black cow and ostrich hide covers the bench seat, custom door panels, and dash.
Jerry Stephens marches to a different beat. When you want to go this low with a '51 Nash and stuff in an LT4 small-block, you have to build a completely custom chassis. Rolling around on some Run-Flat tires might not be a bad idea either because we don't want to be around when the tires need to be changed. The interior features bucket seats and a custom console and rear deck where the rear seat once sat.
You'd have a hard time finding a straighter '55 Chevy than this one brought out by Jesse Alba, and we dig that it's a post. The trunk and interior featured some cool elements that tied them to the exterior styling. A detailed dual-quad big-block looked right at home under the hood and provided plenty of torque when called upon.
We're starting to see a lot more big Chevys built with the kind of attention reserved for street rods just a few years ago. Richard Schanot cruised out with his '63 Impala and came ready to play with a nicely detailed airbag-equipped chassis. A Street & Performance TPI-topped small-block has been dipped in chrome and propels the large Chevy just fine. The stock console accents new buckets and lots of tan leather over custom panels.
Heinz Westphal has had his '40 Chevy sedan delivery done for a couple of years now, although it doesn't show. It even made our list of Top 100 rods a few years ago. We were thrilled to see him come out and put it through its paces to prove it was more than just a show piece. Under that painted cover resides a detailed Chevy LT4 small-block. There's a lot of work when it comes time to tackle the interior of a sedan delivery and it looks like Heinz gave his upholster plenty of time by checking out the stunning stitching.
It's not easy to fit a late-model Ford 4.6L under the hood of a '33 Ford. When Don Troyer decided he wanted some reliable motivation for his steel roadster, he wedged it in and added a couple of blisters in the hood sides. The sculptured tan interior was carried through to the rumble seat just in case Don wants to haul some human cargo.
If you're a regular reader, you know about the work Dale Renner put into his track-nosed '33 Ford from our November 2006 issue. Just in case you missed it, the short story is that he took a jalopy with the doors welded up and did a lot of bodywork, including shortening the quarters 3 inches to give the custom-nosed roadster a better profile. A Ford Top Loader four-speed with a Jeep top backs a dressed '53 Flathead with a 4-inch Merc crank.
There's nasty and then there's mean and nasty. Somehow Bob Schumacher's '30 Chevy pickup manages to be both along with being quite nicely detailed and refined. Well-refined might not be the best description once the wicked fuel-injected big-block is fired up. As radical as the engine is, the pickup made the required cruise out to Speedway with no problems and put on a show during the acceleration part of the testing. The interior has the perfect mix of race inspiration and street rod touches.

How police custody is different from judicial cust...
How police custody is different from judicial custody ©Two type of custody:- 1) police custody 2) judicial custody1) police custody: police custody means that police have a physical custody of the accused while judicial custody means an accused is in the custody of the court .in the former ,the accused is lodged in lock-up of a police station Earlier accused were afraid of police custody as they were subjected to harassment and physical torture but such incident have become fewer after the SC judgements enumerated the rights of accused and brought many police officers to task for custodial torture . resourceful accused , politicians as well as others, certainly enjoy immunity from third degree " or, to use americanese, enhanced interrogation methods " After lodging of an FIR for a cognizable offence (which provides for punishment of more than 3 years ) police arrest the accused to prevent him from tampering with evidence or influencing witnesses .within 24 hours of arrest , police produce the accused before a court ( mandatory under law ) and seek his remand to police custody to enable it to complete investigations expeditiously it is for police to decide how long it is warranted to keep the accused in its custody , which expires in 15 days . 2) What is judicial custody ? In serious offences , the court may accede to police request to remand the accused in judicial custody after the expiry of police custody so that evidence or witnesses are not tempered with law mandates filling of charge sheet in criminal cases within 90 days , if the charge sheet is not filed within 90 days the court normally grants bail to the accused . but in heinous crime / offences , like murder and rape . the accused is normally kept in judicial custody (kept in jail under the court's custody ) for a longer time despite filing of the charge sheet so that the process of trial is not influenced . The judicial custody may be of 60 days for all other crimes if the court is convinced that sufficient reasons exist, following which the accused or suspect must be released on bail by adv rameshwar y dadhe

The issue of 'Child Custody' crops up during divorce proceedings or judicial separation; it becomes an important issue to be decided by the courts. It refers to the process of controlling, caring and maintenance of the child less than 18 years of age by the custodial parent (the rights have been granted by court) under set parameters such as financial security, understanding with child, lifestyle, etc. The prime rights of nurturing the child with respect to education, development, medical, emotional, physical, etc. lies with the custodial parent while the non-custodial parent only holds the right to access and meet the child. In innumerable cases, both the parents are provided with access to the child, but the physical custody of the child is usually granted to one parent. The Family Courts while deciding on this need to keep the best interests of the child as of paramount importance.What is the Definition of Legal Custody?In a family law context, "Legal Custody" is a type of Child Custody that grants a parent the right to make important, long-term decisions regarding their child or children. This may include aspects of the child's upbringing including:EducationMedical and dental careReligious upbringingFinancial decisionsTypes of Child Custody in India:-The Judiciary in India, in a number of innumerable judgments, has held the view that the best interest of the child in Child Custody cases, needs to be given utmost importance, surpassing all the legal provisions laid down. The court grants the right to child custody either to one or both the parents under certain rules and regulations. Evaluating the sensitivity in this matter, the Indian Law allows parents to seek Child custody as per its below mentioned forms, They are:Physical Custody: In physical custody, a child lives with the custodial parent and undertakes all the day to day activities.Joint Physical Custody: In joint physical custody the child lives with both the parents for a significant time period. In such a set-up, both the parents have equal rights on their child.Sole Custody: In Sole custody, the entire right to live with the child lies in the hands of one parent only. This often happens in cases where in the other parent is abusive, instable, violent or incapable in nature.Third Party Custody: In third party custody, none of the biological parents have any right on the child. Instead, the child custody is granted to the third person by the court. What the Legislation has a say about Child Custody?As per the Hindu Minority and Guardianship Act, 1956 the Hindu child below the age of 5 years shall be kept under the custody of the mother as till this age it is only the mother who can give proper emotional, moral as well as physical support to the child.The custody of a boy or an unmarried girl below the age of 18 years and above the age of 5 years shall be given to the father of the child as he is considered to be the natural guardian and only after his death, the custody shall be given to the mother.In case the child is illegitimate then the custody shall be with the mother itself.If the parents are not willing to take the custody of the child or if the court thinks that for the welfare of the child it would be better if he is not kept under the guidance of the parents then even a third person may be allotted the custody of a Hindu child. In this case usually, the grandparents are that paternal or maternal will be preferred to get the custody of that Hindu child if they are interested.If neither the parents nor any of the close relatives of the child are initiating to take the custody of the child then the court by itself shall find an appropriate person who could take the custody of the child.Which Parent Can Be Granted Legal Custody?At the present time, most courts attempt to grant both parents equal rights with regards to legal custody. This is to help the child interact with both parents rather than just one. However, in some cases, the court may grant only one parent legal custody. This is especially true where one of the parents is deemed unfit to make decisions on behalf of the child.When determining which parent should be granted legal custody, the courts may consider many different aspects, including:The parent's mental, physical, and emotional ability to make legal decisions on behalf of another personThe relational history between the child and the parentWhether there has been any history of abuse, neglect, or other violationsThe arrangement between the parents regarding distribution of physical custodyWishes of the minor child, if he can form opinion on his own.Financial status of both the parents.As with any child custody decisions, legal custody determinations are made with the "best interests of the child" in mind. This means that the needs of the child take preference over any personal desires or intentions of either parent.Child Custody for Fathers: How can a Father Get Full Custody of His Child?When it comes to father custody rights, various questions can arise.Custody battles for fathers can sometimes be challenging. While most courts have discarded older notions that the mother is automatically the primary caregiver, many mothers and other persons in society still hold these types of notions, but there are some situation when a father can claim custody or even full custody of child by proving any of the following reasons given under. Father Gets the Custody In The Following Manner:-In India, it is believed that no one can be a better caregiver than a mother. Unfortunately, it is not true all the time.Though while giving the custody the mother is given the first priority, the father can get it by following ways:1. If the mother is willing to give up the custody of the child, then the father may get custody.2. If the mother is not mentally stable, the father is the next person to get custody of the child.3. If the child is of 13 years or more and expresses his wish to stay with the father, the Court shall grant it to the father.4. In case the mother is of an immoral character, which may affect the child as well, the father gets the custody.5. If the father can prove the financial incapacity of the mother which shall in future affect the upbringing of the child and also prove his financial capability to take good care of the child. 6. If the father can prove that the background of the mother has been in dark and that if the child will stay with the mother it will prove to be fatal to the upbringing of the child or shall affect his mental and physical growth. 7. If the mother is a convict herself, the custody of the child shall thereafter go to the father. Although the above – mentioned points are few of which are used in the court to get custody. The same is not exhaustive and can vary depending from case to case on the basis of facts and circumstances.Can a Father Fight for Child Custody If He Is Not on the Birth Certificate?Whether or not a father's name is listed on a birth certificatecan have significant impacts on their custody rights. In most cases, if the person's name is listed as the child's father on their birth certificate, courts will automatically conclude that they are the child's legal father. They will then be granted various custody rights as the legal father of the child. In many cases, even if the person is not the child's biological father, if their name is listed on the birth certificate as their father, courts may still grant them custody rights. They may also impose various duties on them, such as the duty to pay child support if this arises in the future. If the father's name is not on the child's birth certificate, they may often not be granted any custody rights over the child, whether partial or full custody. If they wish to gain legal rights, and they are the biological father of the child, they may need to undergo a paternity test to prove to the court that they are the biological father. CHILD CUSTODY LAWS:The law governing Child Custody cases in India, broadly, falls under following Act :-1. Guardian and Wards Act, 18902. Section 26 of Hindu Marriage Act,19553. Hindu Adoption & Maintenance Act,19564. Section 38 of Special Marriage Act, 19585. Hindu Minority and Guardianship Act, 19566. Custody Under Muslim Law7. Custody Under Hindu Law PLACE WHERE CHILD CUSTODY CASE IS FILED:-Child custody cases are filed in the jurisdiction of the family court/competent court where minor child ordinarily resides. For example, father is living in Mumbai. Mother is living in Delhi along with minor child. If father wants to file Child Custody, he has to file the same only in Delhi. Thus, family court or concerned competent court shall have the exclusive jurisdiction over the child custody to the exclusion of all other courts.PROCEDURE TO FILE CHILD CUSTODY CASE:-A petition for child custody or declaration regarding appointment of natural or legal guardian of minor starts child with the filing of the petition by the spouse seeking child custody application for Interim or Temporary custody as well as Visitation Rights.Custodial parent is required to give response to the petition following which evidence are led by both parents. After closure of evidence of by both parents and their respective witnesses, if any, follows with final arguments and consequent judgement.As stated above in certain situation and exigencies a writ petition under article 32 of the Constitution of India can be filed in the Supreme court or a write petition under article 226 of the Constitution of India can be filed. Key points:Child custody cases are emotionally taxing for parties, concerned counsels, as well as the Judge(s).Generally, the age of majority is eighteen years and in some cases it is twenty-one years.Nowadays courts often take the helps of experts such as counsellors, psychologist or other specialist dealing with issues of child custody.It is extremely interesting to note that all judgements that attain finality bound parties with the final outcome. However, the decision or the judgements of child custody cases are never final. It is a departure from the general law. To explain further, Custody of Child has been awarded by judgement or by mutual consent to one of the parent. However, the welfare of the child is prejudiced by the acts and omission of the custodial parent .CONCLUSION:-For a father, custody can be difficult to win, even though the courts do not discriminate against fathers. Whether you are a father going for full custody or joint custody,youshould be prepared for a difficult child custody battle,especially if the child's mother is also fighting for custody. Consider the following tips to help a father get custody.1. Pay child support payments within time.2. Build a strong relationship.3. Give respect to the child and as well the mother.4. Maintain accurate records.5. Attend important school and social gatherings.6. Make sure everything you are doing is for providing good life to your child.Children are mostly attached with their mothers, so when a father wants to have a custody or full custody he must think about his child's wish and definitely what is good for their children's life because custody battels are already traumatic and exhausting experience for a child to go through, so the first priority of a father should be to make sure that everything he is doing for their children is to provide happiness and good life.

With four players suspended after a scrum at Sneads earlier this month, the Port St. Joe Jr./Sr. High School boys� basketball team split a pair of games last weekend.
With four players suspended after a scrum at Sneads earlier this month, the Port St. Joe Jr./Sr. High School boys� basketball team split a pair of games last weekend.
The four players were suspended for leaving the bench after a loose ball in front of the Sneads bench caused some players to exchange words and pushes.
The four players were suspended, as were three from Sneads, for two games for unsportsmanlike conduct for leaving the bench onto the court by the Florida High School Athletics Association.
Port St. Joe was also levied a $500 fine and the program placed on probation for the remainder of the season.
�There really wasn�t much to it, there were no punches thrown,� said Port St. Joe coach Derek Kurnitsky. �But the rules are the rules and you are not supposed to leave the bench.�
With those four players suspended, the Tiger Sharks (5-2) lost last Friday night against South Walton 55-39.
South Walton was up 28-21 at the half and pushed the lead to 16 by the end of the third quarter.
Sergio Clemons led Port St. Joe with nine points and T.J. Williams had eight points.
Chad Quinn and Marquez Johnson scored seven points apiece, Tyrek Sims had four and Marcell Johnson three.
The following night Port St. Joe traveled to Franklin County and came away with a 46-43 win.
The game was a nail biter to the end, with the Tiger Sharks staking the final lead late in the fourth quarter.
�It was a good bounce back win for us,� Kurnitsky said. �We didn�t play that well, in fact we did not play well at all, but we found a way to win.�
Quinn led Port St. Joe with 13 points and Williams and Marquez Johnson added 10 points apiece.
Clemons had six points and Caleb Odom seven.
The suspended players were back for Tuesday�s game against Bozeman.
The Tiger Sharks play at the Marianna Christmas Tournament this weekend, playing Malone at 7 p.m. ET Friday and Cottondale at 7 p.m. ET on Saturday.

401 Water Street Canon City, CO 81212
Such a festive setting to enjoy the Holiday season! Wow, did we have an awesome weekend! Not only was it a long weekend, but on Saturday we ventured south to Canon City. This feels like a trek for Denverites, but one of the great things about those who move to Colorado is their sense of adventure and being up for making the trek. We were headed to The Royal Gorge Railroad where they are hosting their Holiday themed train: the Santa Express. We have been before at night and this year we wanted to see what it was like during the day.
With cookies and hot cocoa for the kids and views for the adults, there really is something for everyone. As the train moves through the vastness of the gorge with the river next to you and sky above you, an Elf leads your car in Christmas carols, Santa Bingo, and fun Holiday jokes. In between entertainment and ordering food (there is a full menu and bar on board) you can take a walk to the open air car. From here, you can look straight up through the gorge and out along the landscape- where we were lucky enough to see deer, elk, and our first big-horned sheep! Feeling the crisp Colorado air move against you as the train runs along the river is invigorating. The ride itself is about an hour and a half long. At about the half way point the train stops under the Royal Gorge Suspension Bridge- this is great for those who want to see the bridge but may not want to walk across :) Before you pull into the station, Santa himself makes an appearance and visits with every child on the train.
Each kiddo is given a piece of paper where they can write their letter to Santa and share it with him in person. A spot for photos with Santa before disembarking. A spot for photos with Santa before disembarking.Before Santa says good-bye to each child he gives them a bell from one of his reindeer (these have become ornaments on our tree each year). After he's gone, one of the helpers on the train comes to each child and offers to listen to the bell ring to distinguish which reindeer it came from. It's super cute. Here is more detailed info: The Santa Express Train is Colorado's favorite Christmas train.
This 1.5-hour ride through Colorado's Royal Gorge to the North Pole is chock-full of holiday cheer, where children wear their pajamas, listen to Christmas stories, sing Christmas carols and enjoy homemade cookies and cocoa. Guests of all ages enjoy views of the Royal Gorge on the way to the North Pole, which is decorated like a true Christmas town, including thousands of holiday lights. Once Santa boards the train at the North Pole, children await their turn to share their holiday wish list and receive their very special Santa Express Train gift. It runs through the Royal Gorge this Nov. 18 through Dec. 24 up to three times per day. Skip the fast food on the way and eat local on the train instead for lunch or dinner. Plus, there's a fully stocked bar featuring local microbrews, libations and wine available on any class of service.
For more information or to book tickets, call 1.888.724.5748 or visit royalgorgeroute.com, and royalgorgeroute.com/special-events/santa-express-train/ to read more about the Santa Express ride. My family will continue to ride the Royal Gorge Railroad annually- our only tough choice will be whether to ride under the sun or stars. Click here for more details about the train and here for tickets and more information. My family and I received complimentary tickets for writing this piece. As always, I only share things that I think are awesome for families!

Looking at my New Year schedule I reflected on how St Benedict doesn't approve of his monks going outside the monastery. He even restricts them from eating on a trip without special permission. Nevertheless, he knows it happens, just as he knew monks would drink wine.
'It is not at all proper for monks,' he says, 'but because monks in our times cannot be persuaded of this, let us agree, at least, that we do not drink to excess.' He recommended a measure of one 'hemina' a day per monk - though no one knows just how much a hemina is – estimates vary between seven ounces and three full glasses. The hemina is perhaps an in-joke because he knew that with all exceptions to rules there must be humour.
Exceptions to the rule of stability are equally flexible. Like all sin travel contains its own punishment. At least one abbot I know travels twice as much as I do. We agreed that though this may be a source of irritation or envy for those who stay at home it is, as Irish monks of old well knew, no picnic. Actually, their open boats and barefoot pilgrimages through dangerous lands pale before the dehumanizing sordidness of modern air travel.
Benedict's principal way of maintaining the mindfulness of the travelling monk was to ensure that he continued to pray at the prescribed hours. I find this very helpful. I first realized from Fr Bede Griffiths that even a middle seat in economy can be a place of prayer. In old age he travelled the world in a supernova explosion of spiritual energy. Thinking that he must find planes terrible places I was surprised when he said he rather liked them. 'You see, no one disturbs you, the meals come on time, and you can pray or read whenever you like.'
For Benedict the monk's basic job description is reciting the Office seven times a day.
This holds life's other elements, like work and reading, in harmony. It punctuates all activity with insights into its meaning and purpose. We wouldn't need the Office, or indeed any spiritual discipline, if we didn't forget the obvious so quickly. In Western society today Muslims praying five times a day, rather than monks, are the largest witness to intertwining the secular and the sacred. These moments of God-centredness refresh the soul, deflate the stress that work can build up and can be done anywhere. You can have the Divine Offices of the day emailed to you and read them on your blackberry in between meetings in your workaday office.
Benedict however did not see the Office as the end, merely the means to deeper prayer. Many in our 'monastery without walls' say the Office to prepare for their times of meditation morning and evening. The chief counsel of the IMF is one of these daily meditators. He gave the John Main Lecture at Georgetown University recently. People listened intently as he described how his meditation affected his work. Though, he added, 'I don't meditate just for these benefits', indicating the difference between physical and psychological benefits and the spiritual fruits of prayer. When someone asked him the question on everyone's mind, 'how do you find time to meditate?' he gave the best answer possible and with more authority than any monk. He waved the question aside: 'time isn't the problem. If you want to do something, you make time for it.'
My travelling involves many retreats so it's easy for me to keep these set times. Central to them is the Eucharistic consecration of time. At a contemplative Eucharist, which is how I usually celebrate it now, we meditate after communion. The making present of the ritual frees us from the usual anxiety of looking at our watches and rushing on to the next thing before we have finished what's in hand– as TV programmes now advertise the next show before the one you're watching is over.
Consumerism is the false immediacy of what's coming next. Prayer is the immediacy of presence. The rush felt in buying something new evaporates with the packaging; the satisfaction of prayer drills deeper into a bottomless well of happiness. Like meditation, celebrating Mass with leisure defuses consumerism because it is the Christ-like art of giving oneself, of sharing not possessing. Taking time to break the word and share its multiple meanings unites mind and heart. Let's hope that the new Order for the Mass will help do this; but as Augustine said it is not the words but the communion of minds that makes the sacrament. Furthermore, you can fail at this while staying in the monastery and surprisingly – occasionally - succeed at it while crushed in economy.

Christian cadres: Alarm clocks work better when you keep the batteries up to date ...
A friend draws my attention to Christian Cadre, who writes,
I'm ashamed that as a self-proclaimed critical thinker I let myself be swayed by the emotional atheist rhetoric against ID. The truth is that I haven't really engaged with the ID writings in any depth, and at the very least I owe people like Dembski, Behe, Meyer, Denton and others the courtesy of careful consideration, more than they get from the hysterical mass media. I've always been about the quality of arguments. I couldn't care less if ID is creationism disguised as science, or whether there is a pernicious political agenda behind it. I want to know how good the arguments are. And I haven't really gone a long way towards doing that.Honestly, I wish some of these people would blow clear of the Kool-Aid for good.
Scripture, tradition, reason, and evidence all point to design in the universe. That's a lot of evidence. All the atheists have is anti-religious rhetoric and legal decisions from sympathetic judges.
Christian cadre, whoever you are and if that's what you are, which would you rather have on your side?

Jonty's probably the only guy better known for his fielding than other attributes of Cricket.
But Fielding ability is more subjective than batting or bowling ability.You have stats measuring the number of catches and runouts you've achieved, but you can't measure the number of runs you have saved in the field completely accurately.
I'm sure that for everyone who started watching cricket in the 1990s, Jonty was the prime example of world class fielding. But Cricket goes back a long way before the 1990s and the possibility of better fielders being around before him can't be discarded. Also, the game has become faster since Jonty's time with the rise of T20s and more ODI cricket, giving way to higher standards of fielding than ever before.
So,is he really the best the International game saw? Or is his ability on the field overhyped because he was the first 'fielding superstar' after TV made Cricket bigger than before?
PS. There might have been better cricket in First Class cricket who never made it to the International Scene, but for the sake of this thread, let's keep the discussion limited to fielders who played International cricket.

It does not matter much, when you are on this side of the fence, whether there will be a path to citizenship or something short of it.
The path that matters is the one up and over the canyons and ridges of "La Rumorosa," the Whisper Trail, one of the last places left along the California border where someone with no money and a little desert smarts has a decent shot of getting back in.
Which is why Lazaro Limon, 44 and recently deported for the fifth time, was back at the migrant shelter in Tecate this past week, waiting for rain. Border Patrol agents do not like to get out of their warm SUVs in a downpour, Limon figured, at least not to chase a solitary migrant.
"My family called yesterday," he said. "My daughters told me, 'Go for it, Dad.' "
Limon was one of a few here who had heard the talk in recent weeks of U.S. immigration reform, on Telemundo newscasts or secondhand, and he said it had added extra urgency to get back into the States. The finer points of the faraway debate were not particularly relevant. But if the Americans were finally going to change their laws and offer a chance to stay, no one wanted to be stuck on the wrong side of the border.
"I think President Obama is going to give preference to people like me, whose children are American, who have never taken welfare and who don't have criminal records," said Limon, who has spent the past 21 years cutting grass and clipping topiaries in the beach towns south of Los Angeles. His oldest daughter, 13, is among the top three students in her seventh-grade class, he said, repeating that part of his story twice.
Limon said his only offense over the years has been unlawful reentry, meaning he has been caught multiple times by the Border Patrol after being deported, serving months in federal prison.
How many violations?
"Thirty," he said.
He was one of nine men at the cement-block shelter last week, a place that can hold 60 guests but that is almost always empty now. Built by the Mexican government and run by the Catholic church, these shelters were once packed with people streaming up from the south who headed across the border and, more often than not, made it through.
Not anymore. Today they are halfway houses for the freshly deported and disoriented, men trying to return to wives and kids and car payments in Southern California and beyond.
A U.S. immigration overhaul bill, whatever form it takes, will have little to entice new migrants to try crossing illegally, the men here predicted. Legal U.S. residency — or a "path to citizenship" — would require evidence of prior presence in the United States, such as tax and property records, and a clean record.
What is less clear is what new immigration laws would mean for recidivist deportees who the Border Patrol picks up again and again.
"I've got no DUIs, nothing. My son is in the Army. My daughter is in the Navy. But I'm here," said Arturo Zuarez, a 45-year-old mechanic and five-time deportee trying to get back to Los Angeles.
For years, the stretch of border here and in Tijuana was a big, illegal boulevard into the United States. In the 1970s and '80s, you could walk over for a soccer game or a shopping trip, locals say. There were holes under the fence and holes right through it, well-tread walking trails through the mountains and cheap rides waiting on the other side.
That's when many of these men crossed over for the first time, in their late teens or early 20s.
Today the area is perhaps the toughest part of one of the most heavily guarded and closely watched international boundaries in the world. The Department of Homeland Security has doubled border security and immigration enforcement spending since 2006 to $18 billion a year, deploying sensors, cameras, fencing, surveillance drones and federal agents.
The immigration overhaul proposals from Congress and the White House promise to harden the border even more.
The Department of Homeland Security does not estimate how many illegal migrants make it across, but researchers and the migrants themselves say the odds of getting caught are greater than ever.
Since 2005, the United States has doubled the number of Border Patrol agents deployed along the Mexico boundary to 18,516, an all-time high.
Once overwhelmed, the average agent now makes fewer than 20 arrests a year, with apprehensions of illegal migrants along the southwest border at their lowest levels in four decades. Immigration experts point to tougher enforcement and widespread fears of criminal gangs on the Mexican side, as well as a tighter U.S. job market and better opportunities in Mexico.
Along the Border Patrol's San Diego sector, extending 60 miles through desert and mountains down to the Tijuana beach, where the fence extends into the surf, the number of illegal migrants arrested each year has plunged from a peak of more than 628,000 in 1986 to 42,447 during fiscal 2011, the most recent period for which figures are available. Arrests in the San Diego sector have dropped 75 percent since 2008.
"Barely anyone tries to cross here anymore," said Pablo Morales, a state human rights official who works with deportees in this small border city, shadowed by the giant fermentation vats at the eponymous beer brewery.
Tecate is known as a difficult place to cross because of the terrain and tight security, but it's considered far safer than the Texas border, where kidnappings are routine and the fearsome drug cartel known as Los Zetas has carried out horrific massacres against migrants.
The Arizona desert east of Nogales remains the most popular place to attempt a crossing, and there migrants say the Sinaloa cartel charges a $150 "toll" to cross but enforces its own security — no robberies, no kidnappings allowed — with lethal efficiency.
If you can't pay that, Tecate is one place to cross.
But it's not a good place to get caught. Often, migrants who are picked up in California are released thousands of miles away in Mexican cities such as Nuevo Laredo — Zeta country — along the Texas border.
Church shelters there often lock deportees inside all day to protect them from abductions, the men here said. Charities will pay bus fare for the trip back to Tecate.
Having enough bed space used to be the main worry of the nuns who run Tecate's only migrant shelter, Our Lady of Guadalupe. Now their biggest concern is sorting the migrants and deportees from the addicts and homeless who pretend they're preparing to cross but really have nowhere else to go.
When the shelter opens at 5:30 p.m., Reina Ines Bahena, the mother superior, takes photos of new arrivals with a digital camera and records their documents. No one is allowed to stay longer than four nights in a row. Only the clean and sober are welcome.
"This is a dangerous place," Bahena said. "Some of the men who come here are rapists, killers, thieves. We've had extortion threats and armed men with AK-47s trying to break in."
She and three sisters serve dinner, then barricade themselves behind a locked gate for the night while a male custodian supervises the men.
Some openly admitted to drug addiction. One said he was a former meth user and gang member in Los Angeles who fled to Guadalajara two years ago to lay low. He wants to return, he said, because those who were trying to kill him are in prison.
"I came to the States when I was 9 and had never been back to Mexico," said Manuel Marquez, 33, in unaccented English. Now drug-free and newly devout, he said, he has two kids and a welding job waiting for him in Reseda.
"Mexico was beautiful," he said, "but man, it sucks to be poor."
Bahena, the mother superior, said she tries to dissuade the men from risking their lives over terrain such as the Whisper Trail, where hundreds have perished over the years from heat stroke and exposure. Nighttime temperatures drop below freezing, and the men may need to walk for days to skirt Border Patrol highway checkpoints.
"The problem is that they have their mind set on dollars and the comfortable life," said Bahena, who tends a cactus garden behind the shelter under the watch of Big Head, her pit bull. "I tell them they should stay here in Mexico, but they don't listen."

The city of Ventura has a new leading man.
Call him Watkins. Mark Watkins.
On Monday, Feb. 11, the Ventura City Council voted unanimously to appoint Watkins, 51, as the new city manager. He will replace interim City Manager Johnny Johnston, who took over after eight-year City Manager Rick Cole resigned in September at the request of the City Council.
Watkins, who resides in Ventura, has been the assistant city manager of Thousand Oaks since July 2011. Prior to that position, Watkins served for six years as Thousand Oaks' director of public works director, which is the city's largest department, with more than 200 employees and annual general
fund moneys of close to $12 million. He also worked for the city of Ventura from 1987 to 2001 as a civil engineer and a maintenance services manager.
A field of 38 candidates for the city manager position had been narrowed down to three during the past month of interviews. Watkins rose to the top because of his ties to the city of Ventura and his background in city management, said Mayor Mike Tracy.
"He is really exposed to different aspects of city government and that, combined with his love of Ventura, puts him in a great position to lead the city forward," Tracy said.
Watkins' contract with Ventura is expected to be approved Feb. 25, and he is expected to join the city mid-March.
The Ventura city manager position pays $160,000 to $214,000, according to the city's salary schedule.

Gay teen mag closure sparks privacy fears
Whose data is it anyway?
The closure of a US website and magazine for gay teens has sparked privacy fears over what will happen to sensitive personal information held by the now defunct publication.
US consumer watchdog the FTC warned owners of XY Magazine and XY.com against the sale or transfer of private user data during bankruptcy proceedings involving the magazine. The FTC added that relaunching the magazine or website using personal information of former subscribers and users would also be problematic, IDG reports.
User-submitted data is listed in the debtor's estate in the New Jersey bankruptcy proceeding against Peter Ian Cummings, editor and founder of the magazine. Back issues of the magazine and XY's user data are among Cummings few assets, the BBC reports.
The XY database is especially sensitive because the magazine and site offered its services to gay teenagers and young adults, many of whom still lived at home and many more who had yet to come out to their friends and family. The magazine held details of 100,000 subscribers and more than 3,000 contributors. It also maintained the addresses and other details on more than 500,000 users who created personal profiles online. As well as names and addresses the site also had the banking details of subscribers.
XY Magazine was a gay male youth-oriented magazine that ran for 11 years up until its closure in 2007, and a further two years as a web-only operation before its eventual demise. The magazine published articles on politics and culture, readers submitted material on subjects such as drug abuse prevention, as well as items on parent-child relations, university applications, among other subjects of interest to its target audience. The average age of its readers was 18.
Two investors in XY - Peter Larson and Martin Shmagin - have asserted ownership of the customer data as part of a possible plan to resurrect the business. The FTC's letter to the duo warning against the sale or re-use of personal data of former XY subscribers can be found here. It says a sale of the personal information, against promises made while XY was up and running, might constitute "unfair or deceptive acts or practices", violations of the FTC Act.
XY privacy policy is simple, explicit, and clear. Subscribers and members were told that their personal information would not be sold, shared, or given away to "anybody." This includes the names, addresses, profile information, and credit card information submitted by subscribers. It also includes unpublished articles that were submitted, for which permission to publish had not yet been secured. Therefore, any sale or transfer of the data to a new company, new owner, or other third party would directly contravene the privacy representations and could constitute a deceptive practice by the original company or its principals.
The FTC argues that continued use of XY users' personal information, even by the existing owner, would not necessarily be consistent with the original purpose for which the data was provided. The watchdog wants the data to be destroyed unless a compelling justification for its retention emerges.
The case raises wider questions of what happens to user-submitted data once a website goes titsup. There are some precedents in this area and more can be expected, especially given the perilous state of the global economy and vague business plans of some Web 2.0 businesses. ®
