The Transbaal military has established a special troop composed of five girls, called the Lune Angel Troop.
The select elite Lune Angel Troop members each man a spaceship, called Emblem Frames, actively traversing through space. Then again, the five members are quite some characters.
The self-paced five girls act on a whim, causing havoc wherever they go.
The hyperactive science fiction comedy show of the season!
I will edit this post once the first episode airs in 2.5 hours.

Just finished downloading the raw, I'll probably only get 5% of the dialogue but I'll watch it anyway since I love GA. There's a paragraph in the GA II Wikipedia entry that makes me wonder if the anime is going to have an ongoing plot instead of just being random single-episode adventures that aren't really connected like the original series--did anyone who watched the first ep see any signs of that?

I weren't a big fan of the GA, but enjoyed it nonetheless.
And after watching THIS I was really shocked. It looked like some totally alien cosplayers stole several costumes from the original anime and tried to make a parody for it: none of the characters are even close to their original look-a-like;
And that flying cat-head thing was definitely stolen from Sailor Moon.

Enjoyable for the voices. Loved Hirano Aya and Nakayama Erina (Yuri in Bokura ga Ita), and Inamura Yuuna (Akao in Jinki:Extend). Not for their acting, but for their sound. Hirano Aya did a highly passable big-sister "ara." I sometimes felt I was hearing echoes of Inoue Kikuko and Gotou Yuuko in her voice.
And the space battle scenes certainly gave me flashbacks to SHnY. But this is no SHnY. Total crazed fluff, as far as I could tell, but the pace of the Japanese was too quick for me to catch everything they said. I've never seen any of the previous Galaxy Angel series, but this felt like a somewhat limp parody, at least to me. I did like the character design, though.
The official site talks about the "Rune Angel Brigade," and the site is in a folder called "runeangel," so I think it should probably be "Rune" instead of "Lune," but how to reconstruct the title, with its tilde, I'm not sure. I'm calling it "Galaxy Angel Rune" on my calendar (link in sig) but I'm far from sure what's best. "Galaxy Angerune" loses the "angel." "Lune" hints at the moon and "loony" in English. Are those connotations there in Japanese?

this would have to be the first impression of the new anime season for me: I'm watching the bar scene, and am practically made to stare at Nano-nano-pudding's crotch half the time... this show seems to have more fanservice than the whole Galaxy Angel series.... (then again, the fanservice in the series was prettymuch nill). anyway, I'm keeping watch and will post again when I'm done. definitely a different experience, seems like it's going to have a fun feeling to it XD

okay, I think I'm going to watch it a couple more times and I believe it's still won't be making any sense... well, as a galaxy angel fan I'm hooked anyway... and intro episodes are often strange.
the male cast of the show so far is absolutely creepy
the animation is bright and pretty enjoyable
and, uhm... Nano-Nano-Pudding spaces out all the time which is fun to observe XD
as for the name, since the original angel tai cast was called the moon angel tai, I guess it'd be a little redundant to call this one "lune"... so I guess it's "rune" after all. but for the japanese there's no difference between r/l anyway... I'd leave it as angelune until we get some more solid confirmation.

Watching the raw just proved I can't understand Japanese worth a damn, but the pace and general level of insanity seemed close enough to the original that I'll definitely be looking forward to more. I hope the original cast makes cameos at some point, it sounds like they appeared in the game. And yeah, the kaninrin was seriously beaten with the fugly stick.
In spite of not understanding much of what was going on, I can say without any doubt the OP is addictive as hell, I've had it stuck in my head all night now, it's probably why I'm not asleep yet

two more random notes:
1. I kept mishearing danshaku (baron) as danshoku (homosexuality, sodomy)
2. this show seems to be more imbecile than di-gi-charat, DGC Nyo, and all Galaxy angel seasons (and that imbecility is a good thing, keep it up, G.A.II!)
well, we'll see as it develops

This new series is news to me, it has been a while since the last season.
I liked the GA anime series, but while it was cute and the characters likable, I thought it tried to drag out the random comedy too far with 4 seasons.
Especially seeing that the games had a much more plotdriven dramatic storyline to it, not that they couldn't thrown in a few comedy filler eps if they did base it on the games.
It will be a fun watch nonetheless especially with the new GAII characters.

I'm saddened because when I heard that it wasn't by Madhouse I was hoping for it to stay serious like the games. I don't mind wacky but it gets old fast. The game/manga universe is so much better IMO.
It feels like a money-grab to me.
And this will help some viewers who don't play the games: I suggest against looking at this new group as "counterparts" or "copies" of the old angel team. Plain and simple they're new characters. It's Galaxy Angel 2, not Galaxy Angel: Season 5.

I'm hoping that even though they're starting with comedy filler, they're going to give us some more serious eps later based on the game storyline. I've never played the game, but towards the end of the OP credits there's a guy wearing a tie and an apron whose face is in the shadows, I'm wondering if that could be Kazuya? I've always wanted to see what would happen if they did a more serious Galaxy Angel (aside from the 1-serious-ep-per-season that they did with the original GA), so I really hope Kazuya and more of the game storyline of GA II show up later.

^ Good observation. If they are putting the male lead into the anime (a first) maybe there will be a real storyline.
If they were only doing more comedy again, I don't see the point of adding him since they did not put Tact in the GA series.
The GAII wikipedia page says "the new anime will not be random episodes" I don't know if that can be verified but it would be nice if true.

Here's The Crazy YouTube Video That Everyone's Comparing To 'Gangnam Style'
A Pakistani fishmonger working in London is the world's latest viral-video sensation, with a Warner Music record deal, a hit song on iTunes, and 16 million views on YouTube.
Muhammad Shahid Nazir is so influential now in his home country that Pakistan has lifted a block on YouTube so citizens can celebrate their musical hero, the New York Times reports.
Nazir made up a song, "One Pound Fish," which he sang to bait customers for the Upton Park market stall where he sold fish. Colin Miller, a British Web designer, filmed him nine months ago. But the video didn't start going crazy until early December.
Now there's an "o-fish-al" music video and Nazir's returned to Pakistan, where he's being celebrated for his global Internet pop-culture victory.
He's far from touching the record set in 2012 by Korean pop artist Psy, whose "Gangnam Style" beat out longtime champion Justin Bieber for the most-watched video on YouTube with 1 billion views.
But it's more confirmation of the transformative power of YouTube to disseminate mass culture globally in the blink of an eye.
Also, it's completely bonkers.
Here's the original performance and the music video, which combined have more than 16 million views.

Ruben Studdard has made a name for himself as the Velvet Teddy Bear after winning "American Idol."
But if the balladeer is going to reach his goal of becoming the best in the world he needs to drop the weight for good. And he's ready to do that on "The Biggest Loser." Just don't ask him to lose the "taco meat."
For the uninformed -- which might have been everyone watching -- "taco meat" is the term Ruben uses for his pelt. That is, the dark, tangle of body hair that blankets his back and is sprinkled across his shoulders and the middle of his chest.
It was quite a display of manhood, and although we only got the "barest" glimpse of it (seriously, if ever a closeup was needed …) it appears that Ruben's "taco meat" might need its own workout jersey.
Ruben insists that the "taco meat" is sexy. Trainer Jillian Michaels insists it is not. We will see who wins his battle.
Ruben may be the highest profile competitor this season, and at 462 pounds he is the heaviest, but as Season 15 of "The Biggest Loser" get underway this week he is just one of the many faces of obesity in America.
The one-hour premier felt a little rushed and barely underway before the giant scale was making an appearance. But what a weigh-in it was, one of the most emotional in "Biggest Loser" history.
As usual, there were some jaw-dropping numbers as the competitors give up all the salt, fast food, and processed junk in favor of a healthier diet.
Ruben, for one, lost 21 pounds and remarked, "I didn't get any Hollywood treatment in this gym." Then there was David, who showed up at the ranch at 409 pounds, further weighed down by losing his wife cancer while their two girls were still young. His chest is marked with an Asian symbol meaning warrior, and he lived up to that when he logged a stunning 38-pound weight loss. "I have the heart of a warrior, down deep, and I need to let it out."
The numbers were so impressive that Craig, who showed up at the ranch at 385 pounds and lost 13 pounds, fell below the dreaded red line.
"Thirteen pounds sounds really good when you're at home ... ," Craig said. "I was devastated .... I came in here thinking I would be the leader. But it turns out I was the weakest link."
Craig, who was the first player chosen for Jillian's team, has somehow earned a guardian angel in her.
"You're not going home tonight," Jillian said. "Not gonna happen. There's no way."
And so she used her trainer save -- a new twist introduced this season -- to keep him in the house. Expect these trainer saves to become a pivotal plot device this season, and perhaps it's good for Jillian that she got hers out of the way. It will only get harder for the trainers to decide when to user theirs, and it's one of the most powerful tools they have at their disposal. So the smart move would be to hang on to it until the very end. But that would break a lot of hearts.
What do you think about this season of "The Biggest Loser"? One random observation: Dolvett Quince is bringing it, as evidenced by the way his team destroyed the competition at the weigh-in, handily beating Bob Harper's team and leaving Jillian's team in third place.

Inside the auditorium of Red Hook's P.S. 15 on Feb. 13, residents raised numerous health concerns they had with the agency's plans to process some of the contaminated sediment from the Gownaus Canal in Red Hook, while many others simply asked, "what are the benefits to the community?"
"I think you talk too much," an upset Chris Morson of Red Hook told EPA project manager Christos Tsiamis. "Why leave it [sediment] here when you can get rid of it? I think it's all bullsh*t."
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) back in December proposed its plans to clean up the Gowanus Canal Superfund site. The plan calls for removing some of the contaminated sediment from the bottom of the canal and capping the dredged areas in a complicated, expensive project that is expected to last at least 10 years.
This was the third public meeting EPA on the Gowanus cleanup plans. The meetings are meant to inform the public, as well as solicit community input.
EPA project manager Christos Tsiamis took the brunt of the heat from the community as he struggled to defend the proposal.
"I understand I talk too much," said Tsiamis, who has worked on the Gowanus plans for three years. "I am trying to give the information so you can make an informed decision. We are here to listen, not to push anything on you."
Tsiamis added the project is completely safe because the clay and rock material used is not toxic as many believe, and all of the processing of the sediment would be done in a controlled environment that will be overseen by the EPA for the lifetime of the site.
In addition, keeping the sediment near the site would save an estimated $37 million in expenses for the project, according to officials. The project altogether costs a whopping half a billion dollars, which would be financed partly by the city and National Grid, two parties deemed responsible for the pollution.
Separately, Tsiamis mentioned the project could also bring much-needed jobs to the community, though how many jobs and who would get those jobs was not clear.
Still, the community was not satisfied and many expressed their displeasure with the plans. Residents complained they wanted more information about the project, and still felt there was no real benefit to the community.
"It seems like in Red Hook everyone wants to dump on us and we are tired of it," said Jean, who has lived in Red Hook for 42 years. "I think it should go. Keep your jobs. We don't want it."
Yet some residents defended the EPA, saying the animosity was misplaced. Many in Red Hook were still suffering from the effects of super storm Sandy back in Oct. 29.
"I think it [the plan] deserves a try," said Bette Stoltz of Prospect Heights, who has worked in Red Hook for 11 years. "This would bring blue-collar jobs here and we need them."
The EPA urged the public to keep the comments coming. The public will be allowed to voice their concerns on the proposals online or by mail through April 27. Residents may email their comments to: email@example.com.

{ Birthday: A Very Hungry Caterpillar Party }
Eric Carle's The Very Hungry Caterpillar is truly one of the most wonderful children's books every written and illustrated.
Even the Party Pugs agree.
Melissa created a wonderful first birthday party for her son, Ben, based on that fabulous little green guy.
She started with this brightly colored banner...
To which she attached a six-segmented caterpillar, with each circular piece featuring a photo of the (adorable) birthday boy.
Tables were perfectly draped in solid colored tablecloths and accented with clusters of bright balloons.
You know you want a closer look at those table signs. Here it is.
What a stroke of genius! Melissa used green and red paper Chinese lanterns to create a replica of the Very Hungry Caterpillar over the cake table. She used chenille stems (that's code for pipe cleaners) and cardstock for antennae and face details.
If you'll notice, there are some pink and purple cupcakes on that table. That's because this party served as a joint birthday for Ben's older sister. Melissa capitalized on the theme by pulling in the "beautiful butterfly" from the end of the book. Smart.
And finally, the smash cake/cupcake combo. Drumroll, please!
The head of the caterpillar is a removable, red foam board circle (with attached chenille stem antennae) on top of a simple white cake with plain frosting. The body of the caterpillar is a squiggle of green-swirled cupcakes, adorable and yummy!
And let's not forgot party attire! Melissa ordered this adorable shirts from etsy seller MakMayDesigns.
For the birthday boy:
And for his 3-year-old sister:
Melissa really managed to bring this little Caterpillar to life in a perfect party! Read more...

A Life in Economics: Janet Yellen Tapped to Lead Fed
From Yale to the San Francisco Federal Reserve and then as Ben Bernanke's deputy, Janet Yellen has spent a lifetime in economics.

Designer Portfolio: Marcel Wanders
Marcel Wanders is one of the true design celebrities of our time. His relentless energy, imagination and sense of humor define his practice, as does his philosophy that objects should not tastefully blend into the background, but should instead move us — to fantasy, to laughter, to recognition.
One of the hallmarks of Wanders' career is his insane productivity in nearly every medium. He has designed for more than a dozen companies, including Cappellini, Flos, Bisazza, Baccarat, and Puma, as well as Moooi, a company he co-founded and now art directs.
Wanders' work tends to be beautiful, often referencing historical forms or patterns in unexpected ways. His first 'hit' was his Knotted Chair for Droog, produced in 1995 (image 2), which he made by draping woven fibers over a mold and infusing them with epoxy resin to create a functional, sturdy chair out of macramé. Now in the permanent collection of MoMA, the chair perfectly represents Wanders' interest in tradition, his innovative explorations of new materials, and his playful sensibility, always toying with expectations. It also references lace, a historical Dutch material that comes up again and again in his designs (Wanders is Dutch.) But in Wanders' hands, lace is not delicate and gossamer; instead it is solid and durable, or pixellated into mosaic (image 3), always a respectful but tongue-in-cheek use of tradition.
The fertility of Wanders' imagination is staggering. His birdhouse simply places a colorful roof over a plate, providing a civilized restaurant for winged creatures (image 5). His swing, on the other hand, has cavities for soil and seeds, so that vines can climb the swing's supports, turning an already unconventional seat into an indoor image of nature's abundance (image 6).
Wanders' work often explores this tension between the primitive and the cultivated. His mosaic coffee tables, for example, use sparkling Bisazza tile to create patchwork images that might have been conceived by a child (image 7). His famous Zeppelin pendants, inspired by a design by Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, sheath a traditional-looking chandelier within a ghostly cocoon (image 8).
Wanders' intelligence and sense of humor is readily apparent in any statements he makes. Here are some thought-provoking gems from recent interviews:
"Design is way too modern. People cannot cope. Modern composers make music we can't listen to. We push the boundaries too hard, and the public loses track. The world is too focused on youth—I want to remember that I have a mother as well as a daughter. I want to make work that looks to the future, but also back to the past. I want to use new techniques, but also reintroduce that lost quality of beauty." — from Dwell
"I don't want to make furniture that's not functional. But the problem with modern design is that it defines functionality too narrowly. The more functional a chair, the less we feel it in our butts. The 'I don't know it's there, so I don't have to care' approach is fine with a pacemaker. But a good chair you feel in your heart." — from Dwell
"I work with durability in design. products worth bonding with for a lifetime. It is important to make 'aged' products, objects that feature conventional elements with modern, lasting materials … which will last time as well as concept. In the face of a throwaway culture that consumes meaningless products, I want my creations to have more quality … and more qualities." — from designboom

|Head Coach
|Previous College:
|Towson '96
Reigel enters his sixth season on the sidelines of the Green Terror men's soccer program.
In his five years at the helm, Reigel has guided McDaniel to 28 wins with 24 of his setbacks coming by one goal, including the last two seasons at perennial NCAA tournament-bound Johns Hopkins.
He joined the Green Terror staff after a successful four-year stint as the varsity boys' soccer coach at Linganore High School in Frederick. While there, he also served as the 3A West Boys' Soccer Regional Director for MPSSAA since 2004.
Prior to that, he spent three seasons as an assistant at Gettysburg during the final seasons of that program's successful run under 17-year head coach Dave Wright.
During his tenure on Wright's staff, the program amassed a 42-15-3 record, including an appearance in the 2001 NCAA Division III Tournament and a national ranking as high as No. 3 in 2002. He served as an assistant on the staff during the 2000 and 2001 seasons before being elevated to associate head coach during the 2002 season.
While on the Bullet staff, he was primarily responsible for scouting and recruiting in the Mid-Atlantic Region.
Reigel earned a bachelors of science degree with a dual major in sports studies and psychology at Towson in 1996. He earned a masters of science degree in exercise science from McDaniel in 2002 and added a second masters degree in teaching a year later.
Reigel is a physical education teacher at Linganore, a position he's held since 2003. Reigel and his wife Heidi, who was promoted to the director of admissions at the college in May 2009 and played basketball for the Green Terror from 1993-97 and still holds the program's single-season (83) and career (271) blocked shots record, live in Westminster with their one-year-old son.

Paul Craig Jones, a retired Southampton Town police officer who lived on Banks Court in East Hampton, died on Nov. 9 at the Northport Veterans Administration Hospital after a prolonged illness. He was 63.
Mr. Jones, who was known as Pop, was an outgoing person who loved his job and the uniform he wore, his wife, the Rev. Connie Jones, said. He was often in that uniform at Bridgehampton School sporting events, where students knew him as Pop the Cop. He also worked for Long Island University at its Southampton campus as a security sergeant before a disability forced him to retire. He spent 32 years on the police force and 24 years working for the college, some of which overlapped.
Mr. Jones was born on Nov. 21, 1947, in Southampton to William Jones and the former Gertrude Walker. He grew up in Bridgehampton and graduated from the high school there.
A devoted Christian, he joined St. David A.M.E. Zion Church in Sag Harbor as a young man.
He served in the Air Force as a clerk typist. Assignments included deployments to Korea and Vietnam, where, Ms. Jones said, he was involved in recovering the remains of service members. He was discharged in 1971.
Back home in the states, he married Ms. Jones, began a family, and became a police officer. He received a departmental commendation as a distinguished pistol expert. He was remembered as an outgoing man,
He enjoyed going to church, taking family trips, and going to drive-in movies in Bridgehampton. He liked to fish and ride a bike before various ailments slowed him down.
As his health failed, he attended programs at the Adult Day Care Center in East Hampton, where a highlight of his day was reading newspapers over coffee and discussing world events. At home he was limited to short walks in the yard and chasing away deer that attacked his shrubs.
Both of his parents and three siblings, Celestine Jones, Clarence Jones, and Howard Williams, died before him.
In addition to his wife, he is survived by a sister, Gertrude White of Kissimmee, Fla., and his children, Paul Anthony Jones of Brooklyn, Jeremy Kim Jones of East Hampton, Paul C. Jones III of East Hampton, and a stepson, Joseph Kennedy Smith of Jonesboro, Ga. Seven grandchildren, a niece, and a nephew also survive.
The family expressed their gratitude to Calvary Baptist Church and the police departments in East Hampton Town, Southampton Town, and Norwich, Conn.
A funeral was held for Mr. Jones at Calvary Baptist Church on Monday. Pastor Charles E. Hopson gave the eulogy. Burial was at Calverton National Cemetery.

The Center for Career Development maintains its websites as a service to students and alumni for their career development and job search efforts.
The Center for Career Development would like its students using the services of the office to understand and adhere to the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) position on your rights and responsibilities as a job seeker.
The Center for Career Development adheres to the ethical standards of the Principles for Professional Practice that was established by NACE. The office holds its staff as well as employers and third-party recruiting organizations recruiting Davidson students and alumni accountable to these principles to ensure that:
It is Davidson College's policy to admit qualified students and administer all educational, athletic, financial, and employment activities without discrimination based on race, color, gender, national origin, religion, age, sexual orientation, disability, or any other status protected by applicable federal, state, or local law unless allowed by law and deemed necessary to the administration of the college's educational programs or operations. This policy applies to all terms and conditions of employment as well as all academic, athletic, and other educational admissions, enrollment, participation, and programming. Davidson College expects that any employer or third-party organization representing an employer that posts a position through the Center for Career Development or uses the college's facilities for the purpose of recruiting for full-time, part-time, temporary or intern positions adheres to this policy and complies with federal and state equal employment opportunity laws in its recruiting and hiring.
The no-show policy applies when a student does not appear for a scheduled interview and/or when a student cancels an interview after the interview schedule freezes at midnight two business days before the employer's interviews begin.
First Offense

Second Offense
The student will:
Falsifying data such as your GPA, dates of graduation, major/minor, work experience, eligibility to work in the United States or other information is unethical. If you falsify documents or misrepresent yourself to any employer, whether via our recruiting program or in your independent job search, Career Development has the right to rescind your privileges to use our services. Employers have the right to withdraw an offer or terminate your employment for misrepresentation.
Once you accept a job offer, whether via our recruiting program or in your independent job search, you are expected to withdraw completely from the job search process. If you are uncertain as to whether you should accept an offer, please consult with a Career Development staff member. Reneging is unprofessional and jeopardizes Davidson's reputation in the employment community as well as your own. Should you renege on an offer, Career Development may block you from participating in any additional on-campus interviews.
The intention of the campus recruiting offer policy at Davidson is to allow students ample time to carefully consider all of their employment options and to make informed decisions about their employment after Davidson. We educate students on evaluating and negotiating job offers and discourage them from hasty decisions that may lead to reneging, which we strongly discourage. In order to better meet student and employer needs, we have created the following campus recruiter offer policy:
Employers may not offer incentives or exert undue pressure to students to accept/decline an offer before the deadlines stated below. An offer may not expire before the stated deadlines.
This fact sheet produced by the United States Department of Labor provides general information to help determine whether you must be paid the minimum wage and overtime under the Fair Labor Standards Act for the services that you provide as an intern to "for-profit" private sector employers.
The Center for Career Development adheres to the aforementioned policies and guidelines to ensure the quality of our services and reserves the right to modify these terms and conditions at any time.

Google Inc. has started to remove search results in Europe under the landmark "right to be forgotten" law. Crafty Americans, meanwhile, will have to resort to other means.
Last month, the European Union's highest court gave Europeans the right to delete "inadequate, irrelevant… or excessive" data from Google's search results. While the First Amendment's protection of the right to freedom of speech makes a similar move here unlikely, experts say there are many ways American consumers can quietly manage their Google search results. It may take some time though: Each request must be assessed individually before the offending search result is made disappear.
The European Court of Justice ruling essentially gives people the right to be forgotten in (or deleted from) Google's search results. The plaintiff in the ruling was Mario Costeja González. He wanted to remove his name from Google GOOG, -0.34% search results that linked to newspaper stories from 1998 relating to a real-estate auction to recover his social security debts; although the issue was resolved, those stories still popped up in Google searches.
"This is a big deal," says Michael Fertik, CEO and founder of Reputation.com, one of many paid — and free — services to help consumers keep their Web use anonymous. "For the first time, the law is giving human dignity a similar level of protection as copyright." However, this will be a huge logistical issue for search engines like Google, Bing MSFT, +0.46% and Yahoo US:YHOO to manage, as they are likely to be inundated with requests to remove information about people, he adds.
For individuals or companies, Google's search results favor the most popular social media profiles from sites like Google+, Instagram, Facebook FB, -1.66% and Pinterest, says Don Sorensen, president of Big Blue Robot, a reputation management firm in Oren, Utah. This helps people promote the good (personal branding) over the bad (negative comments by customers, or even ex-spouses or former employees). "All social media profiles should be linked," Sorensen says. "If you have a YouTube channel, you want to link that to your Twitter TWTR, -3.67% profile and link that to your Instagram, and so on."
There is one irony in the E.U. court ruling: Mario Costeja González's name now pops up in 7,320 U.S. Google search results. But therein lies a lesson for those who wish to control their online image. "Don't wait for a problem," Fertik says. "Claim your Google real estate now. Create videos and blogs in your name and create your own URL with your first and last name. Post photos of yourself on your site and tag with your name." Fresh, mixed-media content is quick to show up in Google searches, he says.
What's more, Google already offers U.S. consumers the right of reply when it comes to egregious comments on the company's own web pages. This service gives individuals the opportunity to report a blog that impersonates them, the disclosure of private information, harassment and bullying behavior from actual pages (including blogs, Google+, Web and image search and YouTube). But this doesn't apply to he said/she said arguments online or negative reviews that are not deemed libelous.
Even leaving aside the practicalities of sifting through requests, Americans might be waiting a long time for Google to expand its generosity in deleting search results. In a 1989 case that applies to online media today, the U.S. Supreme Court held that states cannot pass laws restricting the media from disseminating truthful — if embarrassing — information, says Aaron Messing, a privacy attorney with OlenderFeldman in Summit, N.J.
Even if the search result is erased, the original item will obviously still exist. Google doesn't own the Internet, of course, it just provides a gateway and the best way to get rid of a link is to contact the website or blog directly, especially if the comments or images are offensive.
In a 2010 interview with The Wall Street Journal, Google's former CEO, Eric Schmidt, offered a more drastic solution for young Americans with an Internet footprint they can't erase: Change your name.
Some U.S. states already want to help people put their youthful indiscretions behind them. "In certain cases, one would have the right for this information to be removed," says Adam Levin, co-founder of online security company Identity Theft 911. In the first law of its kind, Governor Jerry Brown (D-Calif.) signed the "erase bill" last January. The law requires apps and websites to inform registered minors of their right to delete postings, although they may remain on their servers; the law comes into effect in 2015.
That said, deleting information that's deemed irrelevant or excessive — as stated in the E.U. court ruling — is not necessarily a good thing for everyone, especially when it comes to checking up on a potential employee, business partner or even future spouse, experts say. "That would be a great loss of information for Americans," says Floyd Abrams, a partner at Cahill Gordon & Reindel, a law firm in New York. "The United States seeks to protect privacy in a variety of ways but not by criminalizing truth-telling."

Free Beer & Hot Wings: Parking Lot Scammer Called Out [Video]
We've all been approached in a parking lot before by someone claiming that they had fallen on hard times and needed a few bucks.
Maybe they needed gas for the car or a couple bucks to catch the bus. Sometimes you cough up a few bucks.
But don't you always wonder if the person was telling the truth or not?
This guy had his doubts about a woman that he had seen panhandling a few times. So, he called her out on it.

Have You Heard About… Katie's Way
… the quilt shop that brings trouble to the community? In Katie's Way, a recent installment of the Pleasant Valley series* by Marta Perry, we meet Katie Miller who has just opened a quilt shop in Pleasant Valley. Katie was jilted by her intended when he married her best friend. Katie can't face life in her hometown, so she moves to Pleasant Valley to open a quilt shop. It's a very slow start to get her new business to make money. The Amish make quilts, so they don't need to buy them, and tourists are few and far between in this small community. Her next door business neighbor, Caleb, has his doubts about a quilt shop being next to his furniture business. Caleb has a secret past.
One of Katie's younger sisters is in her rumspringa and is causing problems at home, so she is sent to Katie to help out. Caleb has heard of this problem. He has his doubts about Katie and her sister when bad things start to happen in the community. With the Amish and Englisch businesses in the area, Katie and her new friend Lisa hatch a plan to bring more business into the community by sponsoring Pennsylvania Dutch Days. Some people don't want the hordes of tourists invading even though they want to see their businesses increase in sales. Can a friendship between Katie and Caleb develop when vandalism increases and Caleb thinks the worst of Katie and her sister? This has a somewhat surprise as to the vandalism angle but a very nice, feel good ending.
This is a standalone book with enough backstory into the characters of the previous books. It is the first book that I have read in this series, and I didn't feel as if I was missing anything, although I do plan to check out the other residents of Pleasant Valley.
* Other books in the series include Leah's Choice, Rachel's Garden, Anna's Return, Sarah's Gift and Hannah's Joy.

Kahlil GibranBeyond BordersJean Gibran and Kahlil Gibran; with a foreword by Salma Hayek-Pinault
published 2017 7" x 9" • 512 pages • b&w illustrations throughoutISBN 9781566560931 • paperback • $25.00 •
In an age of rising populism, fear and xenophobia, what better time to read a rich enlightening book on love, multiculturalism, inspiration and beauty chronicling the life and work of a man who transcends borders and generations
Kahlil Gibran: Beyond Borders is a must-read for anyone who delighted in The Prophet, contemplated The Madman, was transported by The Broken Wings, haunted by Jesus, The Son of Man, and mesmerized by a copious portfolio of art
The 21-chapter, 524-page tome published by Interlink Books is an amazing meal of mezze (nibbling dishes), main courses, and desserts served with a generous dose of requisite arak (the anise and grape drink of his native land) to wash down all the delectable ingredients
The authors Kahlil G. Gibran, Gibrans late cousin, and wife Jean, provide readers with a wealth of information, archival photos, drawings, sketches, paintings, newspaper clippings, copies of publications, notes, references to heritage and immigration, and a fulsome bibliography that would please researchers, scholars, and just plain fans who know of the mans words from books, quotations, and greeting cards
From a village atop the Qadisha Valley where Gibran was born, to his fathers arrest on embezzlement charges when he was eight, to his mothers decision to pack up her children and head for America, to the evolution of his talents and renown, its a story worthy of an epic Hollywood movie.The Huffington Post
A solid biography... exhaustive... attractive to anyone who has been touched by his writings.Booklist
The text extends an appreciation of Gibrans oeuvre far beyond his best-known work, with a close reading of art exhibitions, newspaper articles and poems. The reminiscences of family members and friends, access to archives worldwide and support from the Middle East-themed Interlink Books and its ongoing Gibran Project have helped the authors write an essential biographywhich also answers the question: How did a Lebanese boy born with the name Jubran Khalil Jubran become known to the world as Kahlil Gibran? AramcoWorld
Painter and poet, immigrant, rebel, global citizen, author of the beloved classic, The Prophet. Kahlil Gibran: Beyond Borders tells the inspiring saga of the artist's life and creative vision. Gibran's story is one of overcoming barriers faced by many immigrants at the turn of the twentieth century—and still today. From his childhood and spiritual roots in Mount Lebanon to the city wilderness of urban America; from his schooling as an impoverished young newcomer in Boston's South End to recognition of his talent by settlement house social workers; from his apprenticeships in the creative circles of Boston, Beirut, Paris, and New York to his art and activism for "Greater Syria" and the emigrant community and press; and from his friendships, loves, and partnerships to his emergence during the populist waves of the early 1900s as a people's poet—both in Arabic and English, Gibran crafted an art embracing a universal message that has become treasured in over forty languages. Exiled between the worlds and conflicts of the Middle East and the West, Gibran defied boundaries to assert a vision of an underlying humanity and faith that people share. This colorful, richly illustrated biography draws on a lifetime of dedicated, persistent research to bring Gibran's compelling story into our time. It will make obsolete all previous accounts and will become the definitive study of this extraordinary and well-loved writer.
Jean and Kahlil Gibran are unusually qualified to present this story. The younger Kahlil Gibran, a noted Boston sculptor, is the poet's cousin and namesake. Over a forty-year period, he was entrusted with a formidable body of work left by the poet. Jean Gibran is the author of Love Made Visible: Scenes from a Mostly Happy Marriage. She has worked closely with her husband in researching and writing this biography.

Cisco IP Transfer Point with GTT Application Group Overflow Load Sharing Configuration Example
From DocWiki
This configuration allows the Cisco IP Transfer Point (ITP) to send a user defined amount of traffic to a primary destination. Excess traffic is then sent to a secondary destination. This distribution is more specific than those based on congestion. Overflow load sharing is especially useful for enforcing customer limitations.
Restrictions and Considerations
- Only one rate limit entry is allowed for a GTT application group.
- You configure the rate limit entry for a specific destination in the GTT application group.
- You must configure both a primary and secondary (backup).
- You can define the primary and secondary by configuring ASs, DPCs, or any combination of an AS and DPC.
- The primary AS or DPC is defined as the one with the lowest configured cost.
In the following example, the application group named SMS-peak-on-weekdays has a primary DPC with a point code of 1.1.1. It is limited to a rate of 2000 MSU per second. Any overflow traffic is sent to the backup DPC with a point code of 1.1.2. The primary DPC is defined by the lower cost of 1. The backup is defined by the higher cost of 2.

Expertinent: The Political Psychology of Race and Gender
Wednesday, March 12, 2008 5:30 PM **the day before the "Wright Controversy"**By Andrew Romano
Expertinent is a regular Stumper column featuring interviews with experts on the news of the day.
Talk about good timing. A week ago, Cornell law student Gregory S. Parks emailed me a law review article that he had just coauthored with university professor Jeffrey Rachlinski. The subject? "Unconscious race and gender bias in the 2008 election." In addition to their legal studies, both Parks and Rachlinski (whose academic efforts have focused on the influence of human psychology on decision-making by courts, administrative agencies and regulated communities) boast Ph.Ds in psychology. On Monday, I decided to call them up for a chat. The next day, of course, race and gender consumed the national conversation (yet again) when Clinton supporter and former vice presidential candidate Geraldine Ferraro told a California newspaper that "if Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position." Revisiting my conversation with Parks and Rachlinski this morning, I realized that many of the questions we covered--who's battling the more difficult biases? is the 'victim pose' politically helpful? what should we expect in the general election?--are precisely the questions that everyone is asking in the wake of the Ferraro flap. Thus, I defer to the experts:
How about Obama?
R: Obama has a tougher job. The biases against African Americans are just a raw animus in a lot of ways. What you see in the studies is that people associate black with negative imagery, just wholesale, without regard to specific content. Blacks are bad, whites are good. You see it over and over in the unconscious bias literature. So what does he have to fight? He has to fight against being black in a way. He has to have people look at him and associate him with the positive imagery that Americans tend to associate with whites. It's not surprising, then, that his campaign is about very amorphous goals like hope and aspiration. That's the message that can work, because he can't embrace black issues without activating unconscious biases in white voters. That's very difficult to begin with.
On the other hand, Obama risks raising specific concerns among his core supporters--notably, African-Americans--if he fights too hard against being black. There's a specific in-group favoritism among African-Americans--a favorable, explicit self-image that's stronger than what you see among whites. When a black leader seems to be running away from his image as a black person, that's viewed negatively. In order to keep his base, then, he can't deny that he's black. It's a thin line that he has to toe.
You said before that "credentials help white applicants a lot more than they help black applicants." Does that mean that Obama shouldn't recite specific accomplishments and resume points?
R: The data suggests that it doesn't help black job applicants, and that it wouldn't help him. According to the research, adding resume credentials helps white applicants much more than black applicants. So if his campaign starts to be about what he's done, it won't help.
What about Obama (in the general election)?
R: He faces fewer white voters who like or care about the idea of a post-racial future. Liberal Democrats like the idea that someday race won't matter; Independents and Republicans, not as much. There's good data showing that Republicans harbor stronger negative implicit biases towards African-Americans than Democrats. So he's got to fight those biases a good deal more than he does among Democratic voters, and liberals are no longer enough. The other problem for Obama in the general election is that strong link between "black" and "foreign."
P: There was a study that came out a couple of years ago titled "American Equals White." And what it showed was that at the implicit level people tend to correlate whiteness with Americanness as opposed to blackness with Americanness. What's more, studies of the 2008 election have shown that when you prime individuals with images of the American flag--at a subliminal level, so you just flash is for a millisecond--it has a tendency to make white individuals show less liking toward Barack Obama. This harkens back to question of Obama not wearing the American flag pin and the accusations that he failed to put his hand over his heart during the singing of the national anthem. This stuff is tricky for him, especially considering that some opponents are questioning his patriotism. If images of Americanness make white Americans see Obama as less American at the implicit level--while at the explicit level rivals are questioning his patriotism--then he's damned if he does and damned if he doesn't.
Is there anything to be gained by either campaign accusing their opponents of being sexist or racist? It seems to happen every day now. Does the 'victimhood pose' help in any way?
P: Obama, for one, cannot afford to address these things head on. If he gets up and says XYZ is racist and calls people on the carpet about race issues, it will only hurt him. The data supports this view. Studies suggest that when you press people on their gender-stereotypical biases, they kind of laugh it off. Because it's not such a hot issue. They're like, "Whatever. I'm not sexist." But if you press them on their racial biases, particularly in regards to blacks, one of two things happens. If they're low on explicit racial prejudice, they become contrite, apologetic, they want to know what they can do to overcome it. But if they are high on explicit racial bias, they become angry and antagonistic. When you accuse whites who harbor certain levels of racism of racist behavior, it actually makes them angry towards you. And that's why Obama can't afford to push back. He has to acknowledge and affirm that he's black so as not to alienate black voters, but he can't do it in such a way as to raise anxieties among white voters.
Is the calculus different with Clinton? Her campaign has been pretty explicit about pushing back in a way that's centered on her gender, as in the incident with David Shuster at MSNBC.
R: Of course, there are more women then there are black voters, right? It doesn't make blacks angry to point out that blacks are disadvantaged by bias. It makes whites angry. The same is true of gender. In the Democratic primaries she's dealing with a more sympathetic audience among women and to some degree among men. I don't think you'll see that in the general election at all, because she'll be fighting the implicit associations between women and nurturing domestic roles rather than leadership roles. At that point, any effort to play the gender card, if you will, is going to alienate some of the voters she needs--the voters who think it's a good idea for women to stay home.
There's a real split here about implicit associations and explicit ones. The efforts to articulate concerns about racism in the way you described are explicit efforts. Look at yourself, think about it, examine the data--that's a deliberative process meant to get people to reason through the problem and confront themselves in a different way. But you can't fight implicit biases with reasoned argument. It's not how they work. They work on an intuitive, affective, emotional level. Pushing back just makes people angry. You don't see that working very well in the research. And it wouldn't work in this campaign either. Instead, the candidates should combat implicit bias implicitly--Hillary has to look like a leader all the time; Obama looks inspirational. You fight fire with fire.
Do you expect the race- and gender-baiting to get worse in the general election?What about the "Hussein" issue? McCain himself has already said that his allies should not use Obama's middle name as a political jab.
P: Even though the RNC has indicated that they are kind of scared about how to attack Hillary Clinton without charges of sexism being leveled against them, and Barack Obama without allegations of racism, you'll still have ancillary individuals and groups who will make these attacks--that, for example, Obama used drugs at one time. There's ample evidence that, at least with regards to juries, they tend to view defendants more harshly when they've committed a crime that seems racially congruent, like a black person committing a more blue-collar crime--robbery, drug dealing and so forth. If they play that up, it could be problematic for him. If they question his patriotism, again, that could be problematic for him, because it raises these implicit biases about whether he's American enough. Republicans will probably play on these things, and perhaps his relationship with his pastor Jeremiah Wright, who openly espouses a black value system, to raise implicit biases in the electorate. And I think that poses some significant challenges for Obama.
R: But it doesn't cost McCain anything to disassociate himself from it. The unconscious bias works automatically, quickly and deductively. So you hear the name three times and the context afterwards where McCain carefully explains that this is not something he endorsed is sort of irrelevant. To the extent that saying Hussein over and over again is at all effective on voters, McCain disassociating himself doesn't undo that effect. Because it's that first system, that affective, intuitive one, that's at play.
P: It's the benefit without the burden. He can distance himself after the fact. The RNC has said that they're not going to officially make attacks on race and gender, but you can have other groups raise these concerns and it works to McCain's advantage. The other question here is how Obama and Clinton may tear themselves apart heading into the convention and the general election by raising all these questions about each other. They're provoking these implicit biases among the general electorate as we speak--and the Republican Party may not have to do much next fall.
Let's Discuss.........

Item Description
A rapid and thought provoking piece. This piece emulates the feeling one gets when one is inspired and all the ideas are whizzing through their head elaborating and getting bigger.
The style is in imitation with lots of the modern classicists but with drums to give it more of an edge.

A buyer has finally been found for major London landmark Battersea Power Station. The highly recognisable power station last closed its doors in 1983 and has since stood derelict on the River Thames. Over the years, various architects have leant their talents to the project, the latest being Rafael Vinoly's New York office whose concepts will be used as a base for the agreed redevelopment. The estimated Gross Development Value of the 15-year project is approximately £8bn.
Battersea Power Station has been purchased for £400m by a Malaysian consortium consisting of SP Setia, Sime Darby and Employees Provident Fund (EPF) with SP Setia and Sime Darby taking 40% of a new holding company and EPF taking a 20% share. Tan Sri Liew Kee Sin, President and CEO of S P Setia explained: "The Battersea Power Station site is undoubtedly London's most important and central urban regeneration site. This is truly a golden opportunity for the partners to make our mark as global property players."
The consortium's plans - which have beaten out proposals from Chelsea Football Club to transform the power station into a football stadium - suggest incorporating the renovation and conservation of this listed landmark into the redevelopment of the Vauxhall, Nine Elms and Battersea areas of England's capital. The new complex will include residential and commercial units located around the main power station building with its iconic white chimneys and brick base.
Sharing the Malaysian parties' development vision for the project, Liew continued: "The Opportunity Area is expected to create 25,000 new jobs and the Power Station building will be at the heart of it all, so it is important that this iconic and renowned Grade II*-listed structure is properly restored and brought back to its old grandeur. We also believe that the construction of the Northern Line extension is fundamental to the success of this regeneration project. As such we intend to actively support Transport for London and Wandsworth Council in their efforts to implement and make this essential infrastructure a reality."

simscan was written for people who need a fast and efficent way to do virus scanning or spamassassin processing or attachment blocking
If you need more features than this you should consider using qmail-scanner. It is a perl program with many excellent features. However it places a higher load on the system. This is mostly due to using perl. The system has to envoke the perl process which is fairly large. simscan is less than 100K and uses the standard system libraries so it loads and runs much faster.
ClamAntiVirus Processing
ClamAV processing is one of the simplist parts of simscan. The simscan configure script defaults to doing just clamav processing. If you are testing simscan for the first time you might want to start with just clamav processing. In the source code directory run just: ./configure ; make ; make install-strip. That should be enough to just enable clamav processing.
It is probably worth while to understand the steps simscan will go through at this point. After qmail-smtpd receives the email and starts handing it to simscan, the following will happen.
- A temporary working directory is created and simscan changes it's working directory there.
- The envelope (to and from addresses) are written to a file
- The email is written to another file
Under default settings simscan then calls ripmime to break up mime encoded parts of the email. This step might not be needed but you should check your clamav settings. Clamav can scan email messages. Check your clamav.conf (pre 0.80 version) or your clamd.conf file. Look for the following section:
# Enable internal e-mail scanner. # Default: enabled #ScanMail
This is from a 0.80 installation. As you can see, email scanning is enabled by default. If you have disabled email scanning you will need ripmime processing. However, if email scanning is enabled, you can save alittle processing time by telling simscan to NOT run ripmime. Reconfigure your simscan with the --disable-ripmime option. Go back into your simscan source directory and run these commands:
- make distclean
- ./configure --disable-ripmime
- make
- make install-strip
If everything goes well, you will now have disabled ripmime processing and saved yourself some system load.
In any case, after the email files are written and ripmime is called or not called, simscan forks a copy of clamdscan. Using pipes, simscan will read clamdscan's output. clamdscan will run, passing the file information to your clamd daemon. Make sure your clamd process is running. clamd will scan the files in the temporary working directory and report back to clamdscan. clamdscan will then report the results which simscan reads. simscan parses the results and looks for reports of a virus.
If a virus is found then simscan removes the temporary working directory and all the files and reports a permenent failure back to qmail-smtpd. qmail-smtpd will then report the pemement error back to the sender and clean up all of the data that came in for that email. The result is the data with the virus is removed from the machine before it can cause any problems.
Optional smtp reject message
If you patch your qmail source with the smtp reject message patch from the simscan/contrib directory, and you re-configure simscan with the --enable-custom-smtp-reject option then the smtp reject message returned by qmail-smtpd will contain the name of the virus that was found.
How does this work? If simscan detects a virus it exits with a special error number: 82. simscan will also write a special reject message to file descriptor 4. If qmail-smtpd receives that return code then it will attempt to read the reject message from file descriptor 4 and report that message back to the sender. This is a pretty nifty feature. What I like about it is, if the email is being sent by a real user, as opposed to a zombie pc sending out viruses, then the real user should receive back a bounce message telling them which virus they have on their machine. I know I would like to know if my machine had a virus that was going out in my email. But then again I do not use Microsoft products..
SpamAssassin Processing
SpamAssassin section
There are four ways to use spamassassin with simscan.
Do not run spamassassin
The simplist way to use spamassassin and simscan is not to use it at all. Some sites prefer to have spamassassin run on local email delivery. vpopmail has an --enable-spamassassin option that tells vdelivermail, the local vpopmail delivery agent, to send the email through spamassassin with vpopmail user options so individual users can set their own perferences. maildrop can do this as well (I think).
By having your local delivery agent run spamc you avoid the multiple reciepient problem.
Multiple Recipient Problem with Per User simscan option
You can enable the use of spamassassin's per user option with this option:
If there is a single recipient in the email then simscan adds the -u user@domain option to spamc. This tells spamassassin to look up the users preferences to over ride the system wide spamassassin preferences.
But if there is more than one recipient then which user perference should simscan set? The solution simscan uses is if there is more than one recipient and the --enable-spamc-user option is set, then it skips adding the -u user@domain option to spamc.
This problem is avoided by having your local delivery agent do the spamassassin processing.
Scan and pass through to users
You can also set simscan to pass the email through spamassassin and send the result on to qmail. This is done with two options:
--enable-spam --enable-spam-passthru
Do not use this option:
The --enable-spam-passthru option is ignored if you use:
Reject anything marked as spam
Another option is to have simscan reject email (smtp failure 500 response) when spamassassin detects anything marked as spam. Use this option
and do not use these options
--enable-spam-hits --enable-spam-passthru
With this setup, any email designated as spam with the X-Spam flag set to Yes, will be rejected at the smtp level.
Reject really bad spam and pass through anything else
Perhaps the most popular method is a mix of the others. Which is to reject email that scores very high and to pass through other email to the user even if it is marked as spam. This seems to help with the "false positive" issue; email marked as spam but not really spam. Use these options:
--enable-spam --enable-spam-hits=number where number is the spamassassin score at which you want to reject the email
Do not use this option:
Attachment Processing
To enable attachment processing in simscan use the following configure option
Place your list of attachments in the /var/qmail/control/ssattach file. The list should look something like this:
.jpg .gif .exe
Each time an email comes in and simscan is started by qmail-smtpd, this file is read into an arrary. After simscan calls ripmime to break the email MIME parts into separate files, simscan then checks the list of attachments against the list of file names in the email.
In order to make file names and attachment names case insensitive, simscan forces everything to lower case. Then it does a reverse string comparision for each file name against each attachment name. If there is a match then the email is rejected and control passes back up to qmail-smtpd for the final email rejection.
Simscan will then report to the smtp log a message similar to:
simscan: IP-of-sender pid pid-of-simscan: invalid attachment: FileName from: FromAddress to: ToAddress
If custom rejection messages are enabled then qmail-smtpd will report a failure message similar to:
Your email was rejected because it contains a bad attachment: FileName
Per domain processing
The per domain processing feature allows you to fine-tune scanning parameters on a per domain or per account (email address) base.
Enable this using --enable-per-domain when compiling simscan.
Drop Message option
Some sites have security policies in place which require them to accept every email. For these sites there is an option to do all the normal simscan processing, but if a virus or spam is detected the message is not handed to qmail-queue for local delivery. Instead it is silently dropped.
Use this option when configuring simscan
Custom Reject Option
This option has to be used with the custom reject message patch to qmail-smtpd. The patch is available in the simscan tar ball contrib directory.
