Man Spends $20,000 To Clean Up Vacant Lot, City Says He's A Trespasser
During the past few years, a Philadelphia developer and business owner says he's been fined for un-shoveled snow, trash and other violations for a vacant lot (pictured, left) adjoining one of his properties — a vacant lot he doesn't even own. But after he decided to spend his own money and time having 40 tons of debris removed from that same lot, the city claims he's a trespasser.
"They don't like nice things," the man tells the Philadelphia Daily News. "For a private developer to create a garden, it's a question of who gets credit. To do it without their blessing, you're basically insulting them."
But a rep for the city's Office of Housing and Community Development tells the paper, "Like any property owner, [the authority] does not permit unauthorized access to or alteration of its property. This is both on principle (no property owner knowingly allows trespassing) and to limit taxpayer liability."
In August, the developer went to the Redevelopment Authority to complain about the lot and offered to clean it up. The city told him not to, but he just couldn't stand it anymore.
"Finally out of frustration, I said, 'I'm going to clean it,' and that's when I rustled every possible feather there," he tells the News.
Since then, the city has threatened legal action against him, though it has not actually issued a citation.
"They said we need to return it to the condition we found it in immediately," he claims.
One area resident doesn't understand why the city is so upset about the lot, which has gone unsold for years.
"They liked it filled with garbage and broken glass?" she asks.
The above image is the lot as it appeared before the cleanup. Since it is is only a few blocks from Consumerist's Philadelphia office, I was able to run over there and snap a couple of pics of the results.

- Premier League
Spontaneous Suarez loving life at Liverpool
Liverpool striker Luis Suarez insists his "conscience is clear" following last season's incident with Patrice Evra where he was found guilty of racially abusing the Manchester United defender, and he has reiterated his desire to stay at Liverpool.
Suarez, 25, served an eight-match suspension after an FA hearing ruled he called Evra "negro" during the 1-1 draw with United at Anfield in October 2011.
But Suarez suggested to ESPN that United's influence over the media was a reason why he was punished.
"Everybody has a different way of dealing with it," he told ESPN. "My conscience is clear after talking it all through. Manchester United hold a lot of sway over the press here and they're always going to use it in their favour."
Suarez, who scored a hat-trick in Liverpool's 4-0 win over Wigan on Saturday to become the Premier League's top scorer, blamed Evra for confronting him and insulting him about his nationality.
"Leaving aside that I had an argument with a person, he thought he could speak Spanish but he doesn't," Suarez added. "And when someone comes up to you and calls you names about being South American, you aren't just going to burst out weeping, are you? It's part of football."
Suarez admitted to diving in October's 0-0 draw against Stoke at Anfield and has said he is sometimes surprised by his actions. He was condemned for the dive by Tony Pulis and David Moyes and insists his reputation for controversy has counted against him.
"Sometimes you have reactions on the field, then you go, 'What the heck did I do?' I was criticised when I fell over in a match against Stoke," he said. "To be honest with you, I did 'dive' on purpose. We were drawing, I was anxious to do something. But having the Stoke and Everton managers coming out like that! I realised Suarez sells."
But he insisted his contentious goal against Mansfield in the FA Cup followed an accidental, not a deliberate, handball, explaining: "The other day, a ball hit my hand and I scored. I didn't do it on purpose."
The Uruguayan believes some of his problems in England have been caused by cultural difficulties.
"When you're foreign and especially South American you are treated differently but at the end of the day, it is a different culture, a different lifestyle," Suarez said. "However, we're here to play football, which is what we know and always wanted to do. We just cannot stop and listen to nonsense after all the effort we've put into getting here."
Suarez, who said this week that he wants to stay at Liverpool, again pledged his loyalty to the club. He said: "It's an amazing club, the team and the support you get from fans is just incredible. I don't regret coming over here at all and they are treating me really well."
Suarez's comments come just after FIFA vice president Jeffrey Webb announced he will be meeting with players involved in racism incidents to discuss possible punishments.
"I will be meeting with the FA... and I would also like to have a round-table discussion to talk to the players and get their input, get some suggestions from them and learn from their experiences," Webb told reporters.
"Obviously there are a number of players who have been victimised, plus we would like to hear both sides really. We have been talking for a long time but we have not been protecting the players. It's a travesty that it has come to this.
"I don't think financial instruments are enough. Fines are not working. It's time to put proper things in place ... It's like in society, we know that if we break the law there will be consequences. Racism is unacceptable. The football family has to take a look in the mirror."

Yeah, purple is the most favourite colour this summer, and Converse sneakers is Parisian favourite. I bought this purple bermudas at the Galleries La Fayette, just a few blocks from the Place Vendome Ritz Hotel, where Princess Diana spent her last evening before she died.
This is one of my favourite flower shops. They change the deco of the shop facade everyday, and I just had to stop by this shop to take the fresh smell aaa~~~~.
Kewl, I luv the petals scattered on the ground...
... and this rustic chair set up.
One of my favourite areas... Actually, this is a small park... Now I can agreed why Paris is the most romantic city in the world!
With a few of my classmates crossing the streets of Champs Elysees... we went to book our bicycle excursion after class yesterday. We were to make a cycling trip to the grounds of Versailles!

Approximately 800,000 motor vehicles were stolen in the United States in 2009, the most recent year for which the FBI provides statistics. That represents a loss of $5.2 billion nationwide.
The Toyota Camry was stolen more than any other make, possibly because there were so many to be stolen. About 448,000 Camrys were manufactured in 2009, and of those, 781 were stolen, at a rate of 1.74 per thousand cars produced. Luxury cars are produced in much lower runs than standard models, so far fewer units are stolen every year. But they're attractive to thieves nonetheless.
According to Karl Brauer, CEO of the online car review aggregator TotalCarScore.com, luxury cars are normally stolen for two reasons. "Luxury and premium models, such as those in this list, are typically stolen by professional car thieves for export, where they can fetch a premium over their domestic value," he said in an e-mail. "If they're not exported, then many are parted-out for sale on the black market."
So what defines a luxury car? Three simple criteria, according to Alec Gutierrez, senior market analyst for the automotive information resource Kelley Blue Book. A luxury car is produced by a traditional luxury manufacturer, such as Audi, BMW or Mercedes-Benz; it retails for no less than $45,000; and it offers a smooth ride, even on bumpy roads.
Using data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, CNBC.com assembled a list of the most frequently stolen luxury cars in the U.S. Cars are ranked according to thefts per thousand cars produced. Also included are the insights of Brauer, who gave CNBC.com his take on why the cars on this list present irresistible opportunities for thieves, and represent painful losses to their owners.
Read ahead to see which are the most stolen luxury cars in the U.S., according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

"Furious 7" again raced to the top spot at the box office this weekend.
The latest installment from the Universal Pictures franchise dominated domestic ticket sales with $60.6 million in its second weekend—still robust despite a 59% drop from its opening weekend.
When factored in with its massive $143.6-million opening, that pushed the film's total to $252 million -- a best for the franchise.
With a whopping $190-million price tag, the film crossed the $200-million mark, on Friday, in just eight days -- surpassing the studio's previous record for that milestone, set by "Despicable Me 2" in 11 days.
The action film, directed by newcomer James Wan and serving as...

[HBDers] consider themselves the ultimate skeptics, willing to discard the noble lies of race and gender.We strive to see things as they are, and realize our ability to affect meaningful change by proposition is extremely limited. Demographics are destiny, but despite doing what we are able to do on that front, each day we cede a little more ground.
From my vantage point, the best thing for the West is for guys like me to snag the right woman and let the procreation commence. But the solipsist in me scoffs at the idea of shackling myself to all the accompanying responsibilities. Arguments that I'd be happier and more satisfied in so doing are unconvincing--I'm exceedingly pleased with all aspects of my life and the way I currently go about living it. Other than somehow finding a way to cram a few extra hours into each day, there's nothing I'd like to change. It is only out of a feeling of duty, perpetually threatened by a creeping sense that it has no foundation in concerns over my subjective well being, that I hold out plans of getting to "work" sometime in the vague future. These two aspects of my existence present quite the contrasting dichotomy, but I suspect my sentiments are not unique among readers.
There are the little things, though. One tactic I've found to be efficacious in spreading the HBDer worldview is to initially tie everything to Darwin. This observation could easily be made into a Christian Lander post about how to talk about evolutionary psychology with white people. There is scarcely a scientific figure SWPLs claim more intellectual affiliation with than The Beagle traveller. The comparison with Christians vis-a-vis Jesus is not unwarranted. An atheist who knows what books the synoptic gospels refer to, is able to name ten Old Testament prophets, and can drop lines verbatim from the Beatitudes--all with genial, if only putative, sincerity--is a long way toward planting seeds of doubt in the mind of a true but ignorant believer. In contrast, if the atheist takes the aggressive, condescending tact of a Richard Dawkins, he's probably only going to intensify the believer's faith.
Anyhow, for SWPLs, Darwinian credentials preclude one from being identified as a creationist of the 'religious right', with all the accompanying social positions that insinuates, and they won't want to be called out on what they don't know. Don't say outright that human populations are different (that's racist!); start by talking about how a hobby horse of yours is appreciating biodiversity, and how On the Origin of Species: By Means of Natural Selection or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life and Descent of Man (no need to commit the full title to memory, since most people are not even aware of Darwin's latter work) are among your favorite books. Remark how the increasing emphasis Darwin put on sexual selection as he got older really fascinates you. Parenthetically, DavidB's posts at GNXP are great refreshers if it's been awhile.
You've now hopelessly outgunned the middling SWPL, who will be apprehensive about challenging your motivations going forward out of fear of being exposed as much less familiar with Darwin's actual work than you are. Since HBD observations generally agree with personal experience, the SWPL isn't going to be fighting much cognitive dissonance, either. With Darwin providing cover, you are free to converse (relatively) honestly.

As the nation tries to understand the tragic events at Newtown, NOVA correspondent Miles O'Brien separates fact from fiction, investigating new theories that the most destructive rampage killers are driven most of all, not by the urge to kill, but the wish to die. Could suicide and the desire to go out in a media-fueled blaze of glory be the main motivation? How much can science tell us about a brain at risk for violence? Most importantly, can we recognize dangerous minds in time -- and stop the next Newtown?. D

Boehringer Ingelheim optimistic about lung-disease drug
DANBURY -- Boehringer Ingelheim officials were optimistic this week about Phase III trials released on nintedanib, a drug the company has under development to combat a rare lung disease.
Tunde Otulana, the company's senior vice president of clinical development and medical affairs, said Tuesday the two studies showed a 48 to 55 percent reduction in the rate of lost lung function as a result of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, a rare and degenerative lung disease that leads to death.
Otulana said about 132,000 people in the United States have been diagnosed with the disorder and that the majority of patients die within the first five years. There is currently no approved drug on the market to treat the disease.
The results of the studies were published Sunday in the New England Journal of Medicine. Studies recently completed on pirfenidone, a drug under development by California-based InterMune for the treatment of IPF, were also released in Sunday's edition of the journal.
Officials with InterMune said their trials showed that pirfenidone, which is already approved for use in Europe, showed a near 48 percent decline in the patients who experienced a meaningful -- at least 10 percent -- decline in lung function.
InterMune officials said this week they expect to resubmit Pirfenidone for approval to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in the coming weeks. The FDA rejected the drug in 2010 after calling for more trials on the drug's effectiveness.
While at least one analyst reportedly said that the data surrounding pirfenidone was more impressive, Otulana said he cautioned people against comparing data from the studies of the two drugs, noting that different methodologies and end points were used in the trails.
"We are very pleased with our data and we stand behind it," he said. "We are very pleased that we met our goal of the study, which was to demonstrate that slow down in the rate of decline."
Otulana declined to comment on when Boehringer might seek regulatory approval for the drug.
"We have worked with the FDA on the design of the program and we will continue to do that," he said.

We explored the mixed views of black Catholics toward a pro-choice African-American candidate in a story two months ago, and some of our client newspapers did the same.
Now, Our Sunday Visitor contributes its own reporting on this double-edged question in a story by former OSV editor Gerald Korson. He found extreme pride in the black Catholic community tempered by Obama's views on the politics of abortion.

Raising Buffalo – Lowering Cholesterol
It is hard to believe that at one point in our very recent past that bison roamed the country side in vast numbers. So much so that the ground shook as they passed but in a moment of history we would rather try and forget their numbers were decimated to almost extinction. Now a rather small but dedicated number of ranchers are bringing these magnificent animals back. Peter Cole has been raising bison for about 26 years.
COLE: I was interested in raising something that was healthy. I had worked in Montana for a couple of years back in the mid-70's and saw buffalo up there and was intrigued with the and figured I would check into it so I spent about 3 years researching it and trying to find people who were raising it. There weren't s lot of people raising them then. Every day when I get up and walk outside I'm still as elated to see them as I was the first day I saw them.
Peter Cook is one of the new generation of young ranchers that has made the decision to raise bison.
COOK: You know I've always loved the animal. Growing up I was fascinated with them - I loved history and they just caught my eye. I've always been an outdoors kind of person. In college I got a degree in finance which made me perfectly qualified to raise buffalo but I decided I didn't want to be in an office all the time and I thought this might be a nice little side hobby. Like Peter Cole was saying, once you've got them, there's something about them. I mean I tell people it's like fishing. Once you get a good hook set in a fishes mouth it just keeps pulling you in. They don't let go.

Jesus, who knows her name, steps forward. He is so glad to see her. He's missed her, and He's been looking forward to this moment for a long time. He chose this road because He knew it wound near her house. Because while her body is battered and torn, it's her heart that's broken. In this moment, Jesus has already healed her body. "The fountain of her blood was already dried up." He's calling her forward because He's about to heal her heart. Then, of all the words He could have spoken, He says one singular word she needs to hear.

Dr. Ben Payne has just wrapped up a medical conference and is also eager to return home to Jacksonville, FL for a slate of surgeries he has scheduled for the following day. When the last outgoing flight is canceled due to a broken de-icer and a forthcoming storm, Ben finds a charter plane that can take him around the storm and drop him in Denver to catch a connection. And when the pilot says the single engine prop plane can fit one more, if barely, Ben offers the seat to Ashley knowing that she needs to get back just as urgently. And then the unthinkable happens. The pilot has a heart attack mid-flight and the plane crashes into the High Uintas Wilderness—one of the largest stretches of harsh and remote land in the United States.

Washington State University: Administrative Support for Heckler's Veto of Student Play
Category: Free Speech
Schools: Washington State University
Washington State University (WSU) rejected the use of a "heckler's veto" and warned students not to disrupt a controversial student-sponsored play—a reversal from its previous act of financing and organizing the disruption of a play earlier that year, when even campus security refused to remove individuals disrupting the play. In April of 2005, WSU paid for and trained students to disrupt student playwright Chris Lee's bitingly satirical Passion of the Musical, a play that Lee warned would be "offensive or inflammatory to all audiences." FIRE originally wrote WSU on two occasions after Lee enlisted its help, but WSU argued that the heckling was an exercise of students' free speech rights, despite the fact that the heckling included threats of physical violence directed at cast members. After FIRE took WSU's reactions public, WSU reversed its position and posted a new policy stating, "Please be aware that disruption to this performance, or any program will not be tolerated and will be dealt with accordingly, up to and including participants being escorted from the venue."

'I Believe in Free Speech and All, but I Draw the Line at Comedy Musicals!'
May 17, 2010
by Greg Lukianoff The Huffington Post Back in 2005, Chris Lee, a student at Washington State University, set out make a comedy musical that, in the tradition of South Park, offended as broad a spectrum of people as possible. Unfortunately for him, he succeeded. His musical–a very loose parody of Mel Gibson's 2004 film The Passion of the Christ–earned him protests, death threats, and even an organized attempt among administrators and students to disrupt the play. Today, my organization, the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, unveils a new video about Chris' strange journey. You can see all the […]» Read More
University presidents battle for honors in spinelessness
May 1, 2006
It's time for this column to announce its Sheldon Award, given annually to the university president who does the most to look the other way when free speech is under assault on campus. As all Sheldon fans know, the prize is a statuette that looks something like the Oscar, except that the Oscar shows a man with no face looking straight ahead, whereas the Sheldon shows a man with no spine looking the other way. The award is named for Sheldon Hackney, former president of the University of Pennsylvania and a modern legend in looking the other way. College presidents, […]» Read More
WSU ends 'hecklers veto' aid but threatens conservative student's graduation
December 17, 2005
It shouldn't have taken a threatened law suit and being held up to nationwide public scorn but Washington State University officials have stopped paying student hecklers who shout down speakers with whom they disagree. Unfortunately, the stench remains strong at Washington State University of a Stalinist suppression of political views that deviate from the politically correct academic liberal orthodoxy. Regular readers of this space will recall from this July column that the controversy began when it was learned university administrators were paying students to heckle the production of a controversial play by a student author. Student playwright Chris Lee warned […]» Read More
WSU finally gets it: Heckling isn't free speech
December 16, 2005
Hey, no heckling zombie Jesus! And if you disagree with Lucifer that "Hell is So Sweet," keep it to yourself. At least until he's done singing. Otherwise, you might be asked to leave the theater. A zombie Jesus and singing Lucifer are only two of the things that offended audiences earlier this year during "The Passion of the Musical" at Washington State University. Threatening to eject hecklers represents a new attitude among WSU administrators. At first, they claimed heckling was a First Amendment right. When student playwright Chris Lee presented his satirical production last April, the crowd went wild. Literally. […]» Read More
WSU takes hit on free speech
October 22, 2005
A national higher education watchdog group says Washington State University is failing to protect the speech rights of students who have controversial or unpopular opinions. In the latest case, an education student who describes himself as a conservative Christian was threatened with dismissal and ordered into diversity training over comments that he didn't believe that whites are privileged, opposed adoption by gays, and wrote "diversity is perversity" in the margins of a book. Professors accused the man, 42-year-old Ed Swan of Othello, of being a white supremacist and anti-gay, but WSU dropped its threat of dismissal against Swan after the […]» Read More
Student plans new plays
October 22, 2005
A student playwright at Washington State University who wrote a controversial "intentionally offensive" play last year is preparing new productions. Chris Lee's "Passion of the Musical" inflamed its audience and sparked a debate about WSU's role in a protest of the play. University officials purchased tickets for protesters, and the school has taken the position that protesters were expressing their free-speech rights. Lee and the free-speech group Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) say the university has trampled his constitutional rights by supporting the "heckler's veto." Lee said protesters at his show in April made threats of violence and […]» Read More
Challenging campus free speech through theater
October 18, 2005
Chris Lee may choose to not graduate. Lee, a senior theatre major, will stay until he is 85 years old if he has to, he said. WSU has to learn students' First Amendment rights before he leaves. "I want the message of freedom and speech to go through here before I go," Lee said. "I'd rather move on and know this school is going to let freedom ring." Spring semester, "Passion of the Musical" closed on Apr. 21 with a protest. Lee wrote, directed and starred as Lucifer in the play. Protesters who disliked the message of Lee's self-acknowledged offensive […]» Read More
Race, free speech issues likely to linger
August 27, 2005
The fall semester promises to include more discussion of race and the First Amendment on the Washington State University campus as many of the main players from last school year are back in town after summer break. Last spring, a black theater major at WSU produced a deliberately provocative play at the student union that caused a stir among several groups on campus. Christopher Lee, now a senior, wrote and produced "The Passion of the Musical." The play was protested and disrupted on its last night by a number of minority students, many of whom gained admittance to the production […]» Read More
Playing Politically Correct
July 28, 2005
Protesters disrupted his play by shouting down the actors, blocking the aisles, rushing the stage and threatening the audience, and student playwright Chris Lee expected Washington State University officials to ake action. They did, but not quite in the way he expected. After an inquiry, the university's Center for Human Rights concluded that the student hecklers had engaged in an appropriate expression of free speech after being provoked by the play "Passion of the Musical." University President V. Lane Rawlins agreed, telling a faculty member in an e-mail that the protesters had "exercised their rights of free speech in a […]» Read More
Group Claims Biased Campus Officials Bankrolled Protest of Student Play
July 26, 2005
Washington State University is being accused of funding "vigilante censorship" of a controversial student play on campus. Student playwright Chris Lee's production, Passion of the Musical, had to shut down after 40 hecklers kept interrupting, shouting about its being offensive and allegedly issuing threats against cast members. And now an academic freedom advocate is charging that a university administrator used school money to pay for the hecklers' tickets. WSU's president, Lane Rawlins, has defended the disruptive behavior of the 40 protesters, calling it a responsible exercise of their free-speech rights. And Raul Sanchez, director of the Center for Human Rights […]» Read More
Why does Washington State University Pay Campus Hecklers?
July 21, 2005
Washington State University's web site calls the school "an ideal place to live and learn" and promises prospective students that instead of "smog or traffic jams," they will find "an easy-going pace and eclectic college-town atmosphere." Here's something else WSU students don't find much of on the Pullman campus – freedom of speech. Hecklers who shout down speakers at WSU sometimes do so on tax dollars. Hitler used Nazi thugs called "Brown Shirts" to silence opponents as he sought power in pre-war Germany. Today at WSU, the people paying the hecklers are called "administrators." Here are the basic facts of […]» Read More
Rawlins wrong on free speech
July 18, 2005
V. Lane Rawlins has abetted censorship. Inadvertently, perhaps, but that's what it was. In an attempt to placate protesters, the Washington State University president reiterated his support for faculty and students who shouted their objections this spring during the final performance of student Chris Lee's "intentionally offensive" play, "Passion of the Musical." In a followup letter to Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, Rawlins said the demonstrators had "exercised their rights of free speech in a very responsible manner." Except that the "speech" they were exercising was nothing but a high-decibel barrage to drown out the message coming from the […]» Read More
Everyone's a Critic
July 18, 2005
The curtain did not fall silently on the Devil. But rather to a chorus of "I am offended." In fact, the shouts by a group of Washington State University students pervaded the final performance in April of The Passion of the Musical — a show that has become the subject of a free speech dispute months after its short run. The protesters, angry at the satire depicting the last of two days of the life of Jesus, forced the show to stop several times. At the behest of campus security guards concerned about a potential riot, Chris Lee, a theater […]» Read More
It's time for FIRE to shout in a crowded theater
July 18, 2005
Jesus turns into a zombie. Lucifer sings "Hell is So Sweet." Pontius Pilate hurls racial epithets that would make Archie Bunker blush. OK, so "Passion of the Musical" will never be mistaken for "Beauty and the Beast." Does that give people the right to protest the play at Washington State University? You bet it does. But wait. Does it give them the right to protest the play by disrupting one of its performances? Definitely not. Washington State University President V. Lane Rawlins expressed support for the protesters after 40 of them descended on the play's final performance April 21. Protesters […]» Read More
Play sparks controversy at WSU
July 15, 2005
A student play that includes racial and religious slurs has created a free speech dispute at Washington State University. The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education has asked WSU President V. Lane Rawlins to renounce his support of people who disrupted a performance of "Passion of the Musical" in April. "Performing a play is constitutionally protected free speech," the group said in its letter. "However, disrupting a play is not." In a short letter sent Wednesday, Rawlins thanked FIRE for its interest and suggestions, without addressing the incident directly. Student Chris Lee wrote and staged "Passion of the Musical," a […]» Read More
WSU chief stands by protesters at biting play

Washington State University President V. Lane Rawlins refused Wednesday to renounce the school's position on an "intentionally offensive" student play that deteriorated into a shouting match in April. A national advocacy group, the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, asked Rawlins to do so, arguing that his apparent support for about 40 protesters who disrupted a performance of "Passion of the Musical" amounts to supporting the censorship of the "heckler's veto." "Performing a play is constitutionally protected free speech," the group said in its letter. "However, disrupting a play is not."

Art purged for being "one-sided," among other excuses Censors, often not understanding the message, ban art rather than grapple with its meaning PHILADELPHIA, July 10, 2018 — Art censorship is nothing new. Spanish conquistadors smashed ceramics of ancient Peruvian cultures that portrayed gay and lesbian sex. The Roman Catholic Church of the 15th century was so intent on covering up penises that for decades even Michelangelo's David wore a garland of leaves around his waist. But a new report from the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education shows that art censorship remains alive and well, even on today's college campuses, […]» Read More
New Video: How Washington State Censored a Student Musical
February 8, 2011
In a new video from the 2010 Campus Freedom Network (CFN) Conference, former Washington State University (WSU) student Chris Lee discusses how administrators at WSU subsidized a group of protesters to disrupt his satirical play, Passion of the Musical. When he wrote, directed, and produced Passion of the Musical in 2005, Chris sought to create a show "so offensive to everyone, they would have to speak about things that are important to them." After WSU officials received a complaint, however, the school bought a block of tickets for protesters to attend the play. These protesters shouted down the action on […]» Read More

This Month in FIRE History: Washington State University Bankrolls Vigilante Censorship
July 29, 2009
Over four years have passed since our fight with Washington State University began, but it still remains one of the most astonishing cases we have ever handled. It surrounded a controversial and purposefully offensive play that aimed, according to the playwright, Chris Lee, "to show people we're not that different, we all have issues that can be made fun of." Lee was clear about these intentions and the fact that the play was not suitable for minors in the play's promotional materials. The play was entitled "Passion of the Musical" and parodied Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ," one […]» Read More

PULLMAN, Wash., December 12, 2005—Thanks to a campaign led by the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE), Washington State University (WSU) has rejected the "heckler's veto" and warned students not to disrupt a controversial play. WSU financed and organized the disruption of a different play by the same student playwright earlier this year. "WSU has apparently been embarrassed into respecting free artistic expression," stated FIRE Director of Legal and Public Advocacy Greg Lukianoff. "It is long past time that WSU recognized that shouting down a play, like wantonly tearing down controversial artwork, is the very opposite of free speech." […]» Read More

PULLMAN, Wash., October 12, 2005—In recent months, the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) has intervened twice at Washington State University to protect students' freedom of expression. After publicly proclaiming respect for their students' rights, Washington State administrators have now made clear that, between their grading students on their politics and their paying for hecklers to disrupt student plays, liberty is still in dire straits in Pullman. "The latest developments at Washington State are quite revealing," remarked FIRE President David French. "After the administration twice refused to apologize for subsidizing disruptive hecklers and refused to guarantee that it wouldn't […]» Read More
Washington State University Bankrolls Vigilante Censorship
July 18, 2005
PULLMAN, Wash., July 18, 2005—In a shameful distortion of the First Amendment, Washington State University has morally and financially supported disruptive heckling and threats at a controversial student play. Washington State went so far as to pay for hecklers to attend student playwright Chris Lee's Passion of the Musical. It then allowed the hecklers to repeatedly disrupt the musical through shouts and threats of violence. Washington State's president later defended the hecklers' behavior as a "responsible" exercise of free speech. "Students have a right to leave a play, protest outside of the theater, and condemn a play in the newspaper. […]» Read More

GMG Releases ColorMaster 2.0 for Process-Neutral RGB Image Workflows
Friday, March 22, 2013
Press release from the issuing company
Wrentham, MA - GMG, a leading developer and supplier of high-end workflow and color management software solutions, announces the release of GMG ColorMaster 2.0, offering a process-neutral workflow and extremely flexible format for image data storage. GMG ColorMaster 2.0 supplies predefined settings and optimized profiles for most popular target color spaces. It also offers a color space that covers all common printing gamuts.
"ColorMaster helps to provide a color-accurate late-binding RGB-workflow, meaning that images are not converted from their RGB space until as late as possible. It is ideal for those who create data from a wide variety of media and printing processes, or who process printing data for production in different countries and have to consider different print and online standards," comments Michael Farkas, GMG director of marketing "It is a solution to a problem people have been talking about for twenty years. It offers the right way to work with RGB files in an effective and productive manner."
ColorMaster is a virtual color space used as a preview profile for Photoshop or softproofing applications. By viewing an image in the ColorMaster color space the content originator, typically a photographer, can detect problems in the light or tonal range early and make adjustments—for example, changing the light setting or applying color corrections—before storing the image file into the database. Once the image has been retouched within the ColorMaster color space, the 'master' RGB file can be output many times to any industry standard with confidence of its color accuracy.
ColorMaster is process-neutral and therefore an extremely flexible form of data storage. The workflow concept relies on the interlinking of GMG ColorServer for color conversions, GMG ColorProof for the output of hard proofs, and GMG ProofControl for proof verification according to print standards. GMG ColorMaster supplies predefined settings and optimized profiles, making it very easy for the user to set up an automated workflow to convert images and pages from the ColorMaster standard to any international output standard. It offers a high degree of automation, where prepress departments can experience up to 50% time savings.
Many repro houses and brand owners are still bound to CMYK workflows. There are a number of disadvantages. CMYK databases do not allow for sufficient repurposing of images, nor is multi-channel use of images (for web and print) possible. Committing early to CMYK does not provide a quick way of rebuilding an image if the printing standard or substrate changes. On press, images built from CMYK databases can produce unbalanced ink trapping throughout the press sheet, while early-applied GCR negatively influences grey balance and ink control on press.
ColorMaster offers the traditional benefits of an RGB file format workflow – consistency of separations for press, more consistent grey balance, and total ink coverage and GCR that does not create color-correction issues. However, unlike other RGB workflows, GMG ColorMaster offers viewing done on a virtual CMYK color space, which guarantees WYSIWYG for print. The file is either previewed on a monitor with help of the ColorMaster.icc profile, or a GMG ColorMaster hard proof is output by simply dropping the file into a GMG hotfolder.
"At IKEA, I was responsible for the process quality of over 200 million catalogues annually. It was imperative to match color exactly, no matter where the images were printed or what substrate was used. Unfortunately, ICC technology offered limited capabilities and a static rendering engine," explains Farkas. "The ColorMaster concept was conceived and created between GMG and IKEA to individually adjust separation profiles to a common appearance. It offers the opportunity to avoid multiple correction rounds for mixed media production. At IKEA, we not only reduced our repro effort significantly but also offered our print service providers ready-to-print images that allowed faster makereadies and more consistent output, worldwide."
Purchase of a GMG ColorMaster 2.0 annual license, available from GMG resellers, provides a customer access to a pre-configured set of updated international color profiles, pre-defined GMG ColorMaster workflows, PDF/X-3 export settings for Adobe InDesign, GMG ColorMaster ICC for screen viewing, and a GMG SwatchBook.

iTools Pro 1.7.1
Managing the content of your iOS device using iTunes, the default OS X music player, is not always very intuitive. iTools is a simple Mac app that offers an alternative when you need to visualize, organize, or transfer data to and from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
iTools Pro 1.7.1 | MacOSX | 6.3 MB
Apple Cocoa technology, the new interface design, more in line with the Mac operating habits
Effortlessly browse the content of your iOS device via a well organized interface
Right off the bat, you must make sure your iOS device is connected to your Mac: iTools automatically detects the available gadgets and then displays all the available information, organized into multiple tabs. As a result, you should be able to find what you are looking for in no time.
You can use the iTools app to view all installed applications, your photo / music / movies / ringtones / books / contacts library, all the available files, but also general details about the device, such as type, iOS version, or if it has been jailbroken or not.
Manage your iPhone's or iPad's data via user friendly tools
iTools offers you the possibility to import or export items without having to deal with complex tools. At the same time, you also have the option to delete certain elements. As far as applications are concerned, iTools enables you to delete, archive, or browse the content of the user installed utilities.
Within the iTools application, you should be able to visualize the activity of the iOS device in real time: the app installs an additional plug-in to handle this task, but during our test the screen loading procedure failed. Note that iTools downloads and installs this plug-in automatically without asking for confirmation.
Streamlined iOS device management solution featuring an user friendly workflow
iTools proposes simple solutions for transferring data from your iOS device to your Mac, and vice versa, in no time, without having to deal with complex tools. iTools can archive or browse the content of any installed app, enables you to browse and preview your media library, and so on. However, the developers do not provide any kind of documentation, so you will have to learn ho to use the app on your own.

Trac XML-RPC Plugin
Note about 0.11 compatibility
You can check out the tickets that users have created, there may be a solution to your problem.
This plugin allows Trac plugins to export select parts of their interface via XML-RPC.
It also includes some exported functions for manipulating tickets, with plans to include interfaces to other parts of Trac's API.
The browsable XML-RPC URI suffix is /xmlrpc, however most XML-RPC clients should use the authenticated URL suffix /login/xmlrpc as this is correctly authenticated by Trac.
Note: if you do want to use /xmlrpc and unauthenticated access, you must grant the XML_RPC permission to the 'anonymous' user.
WikiRPC API is complete, mostly thanks to mgood.
Ticket API is also complete, with the following types exported: component, version, milestone, type, status, resolution, priority and severity.
For example, for TracHacks the URIs are http://trac-hacks.org/xmlrpc and http://trac-hacks.org/login/xmlrpc (must be authenticated).
Outstanding tasks are roadmap, timeline, user management (e.g. get a (filtered) user list to assign a task in mylyn), plugin management (?)...plus probably more.
This plugin requires at least Trac 0.10. It will not work with Trac 0.9.x or earlier.
Install in the same manner as any other Trac plugin:
# python setup.py bdist_egg # cp dist/*.egg /srv/trac/env/plugins
or if you want it to be installed for all Trac environments:
# easy_install /path/to/unpacked/xmlrpcplugin.zip/0.10
(You might want to use easy_install -Z so that it doesn't need to be unpacked when it's called.)
You will also probably need to enable the plugin in your environments trac.ini:
[components] tracrpc.* = enabled
Bugs/Feature Requests
Existing bugs and feature requests for XmlRpcPlugin are here.
If you have any issues, create a new ticket.
Problems when AccountManagerPlugin is enabled
If you have the AccountManagerPlugin enabled and you followed their advise/example to disable the standard login module with
[components] trac.web.auth.LoginModule = disabled
the /login/xmlrpc URL for authorized access will not work as expected. Every access will look like anonymous access.
You can use the HttpAuthPlugin to correct this.
Problems with Digest HTTP authentication
xmlrpclib.ServerProxy client - as demonstrated in the following examples - will not work with a Digest-based HTTP authentication: you need to set up a Basic HTTP authentication on server side to make the examples work.
If you use the standalone Trac daemon, this means that you cannot use the
tracd -a option (htdigest authentication file). Use
trac --basic-auth (htpasswd authentication file) instead.
Problems with mod_python, Apache, python 2.4
XmlRpcPlugin might not work with Apache and python 2.4 as explained in TracInstall. Use python 2.5 if you want to run Trac with mod_python.
Download the zipped source from [download:xmlrpcplugin here].
You can check out the source for XmlRpcPlugin using Subversion from here or browse the source with Trac.
Python End-User Usage
Obtain and print a list of XML-RPC exported functions available to my user:
import xmlrpclib server = xmlrpclib.ServerProxy("http://athomas:password@localhost/trac-dev/login/xmlrpc") for method in server.system.listMethods(): print method print '\n'.join([' ' + x for x in server.system.methodHelp(method).split('\n')]) print print
The same example using
system.multicall(). This reduces network and server
load by compacting all of the
system.methodHelp() calls into one HTTP POST.
import xmlrpclib server = xmlrpclib.ServerProxy("http://athomas:password@localhost/trac/devel/login/xmlrpc") multicall = xmlrpclib.MultiCall(server) for method in server.system.listMethods(): multicall.system.methodHelp(method) for help in multicall(): lines = help.splitlines() print lines[0] print '\n'.join([' ' + x for x in lines[2:]]) print
List all tickets that are owned by athomas, using the XML-RPC multicall system to issue multiple RPC calls with one HTTP request:
import xmlrpclib server = xmlrpclib.ServerProxy("http://athomas:password@localhost/trac/devel/login/xmlrpc") multicall = xmlrpclib.MultiCall(server) for ticket in server.ticket.query("owner=athomas"): multicall.ticket.get(ticket) print map(str, multicall())
Access the Wiki with WikiRPC
import xmlrpclib server = xmlrpclib.ServerProxy("http://athomas:password@localhost/trac-dev/login/xmlrpc") # print the content of WikiStart print server.wiki.getPage("WikiStart") # print WikiStart as HTML print server.wiki.getPageHTML("WikiStart") # write to the SandBox page from a text file sandbox_content = file("sandbox.txt").read() server.wiki.putPage("SandBox", sandbox_content, {"comment": "testing the WikiRPC interface"})
Add an attachment to WikiStart:
import xmlrpclib server = xmlrpclib.ServerProxy("http://athomas:password@localhost:8080/trunk/login/xmlrpc") server.wiki.putAttachment('WikiStart/t.py', xmlrpclib.Binary(open('t.py').read()))
Using from C#
See DotNet.
API Usage
If the HTTP request to this URI is not XML, the XmlRpcPlugin will list all exported functions that the current user has permission to use.

James Lowes has been given the task for reviving the fortunes of his old club after being appointed as Bradford's new head coach.
The 44-year-old former Bradford and Great Britain hooker has left his role as head coach of Leeds Carnegie rugby union team to succeed Francis Cummins, who was sacked just over a week ago by the relegation-threatened Super League club.
The former Warrington head coach, who ended a successful eight-year stay at Odsal on a high by helping them complete the league and Cup double in 2003, spoke of his delight at returning to the 13-man code after being unveiled at a press conference at the Provident Stadium.
"I'm a rugby league man," said Lowes. "I've thoroughly enjoyed my time with Leeds Carnegie but, when this opportunity arose, there is no way I couldn't go for it.
"With my history at this club, I just felt it would be wrong not to apply
"I always aspired to come back, I didn't reckon it would happen this quickly."
Lowes, who was named man of the match in Bradford's 2002 World Club Challenge triumph over Newcastle Knights and scored 84 tries in 205 appearances for the club, has been given a two-and-a-half year contract that runs to the end of 2016.
At least one of those years is expected to be in the Championship, with Bradford almost certain to be one of two clubs relegated this year.
They are currently nine points from safety with just 10 games left of the regular season, although chairman Marc Green revealed at the press conference that the club are still considering going to the High Court to try to win back the six points the club were docked for going into administration.
The Bulls lost their appeal against the Rugby Football League's board of directors' decision but Green said the club have received positive legal advice and will decide in the next 24 hours whether to continue their fight.
"We've had conversations with barristers and we are 100 per cent convinced High Court action will result in success," Green said. "If we believe getting the points back will benefit the club, then we'll do it.
"There is a great expense to doing it. It's not a five hundred quid fee to go into court. It's going to cost many tens of thousands of pounds and, if we don't believe getting the points back would materially benefit the club, then the money is better off spent elsewhere.
"That decision will be made in the next 24 hours, by close of play tomorrow, once we've had chance to sit down and digest the barrister's comments and Jimmy's had a chance to meet the players."
Lowes, who will hold his first training session on Wednesday ahead of his first game at Warrington on Sunday, said: "I'll leave that to them.
"I can't concern myself too much with the off-field stuff. Whatever happens there happens, we've got to get things right on the field.
"It we get them back, it's a big bonus. But if we get them and we're still not playing well, then it's irrelevant.
"All we can do is fight and fight and fight. Even if it comes to the point when relegation does happen, you've got to keep fighting to that last game.
"We have to show the fans that, even if we go down, we'll come back."
Lowes, who was an unsuccessful applicant for the job when Bradford appointed Mick Potter as the successor to Steve McNamara ahead of the 2011 season, says he has a plan B in the event of relegation and admits that will almost inevitably mean the departure of some players.
England Knights scrum-half Luke Gale, who turned down a move to Hull earlier this year, is expected to join Castleford.
"If players get opportunities to move, then they've got to make a decision," Lowes said. "That's part of the game, you've just got to deal with it and move on.
"Hopefully the core of this team will stay with us no matter what. It's inevitable if we get relegated that players will want to stay in Super League.
"We'll try our best to get quality players to come in. We've got to get ready for both with a plan A and a plan B."
Lowes, who was right-hand man to England boss McNamara up to 12 months ago, says he has an assistant in mind but will not be in a position to make an appointment before Sunday's game.
