Letter to U.S Senate regarding proposed 1997 Intelligence Authorization Act (Senate Bill 1718)
29 July 1996
Dear Senator:
I have worked as a journalist for more than two decades, reporting for several major U.S. news organizations from the United States, Europe and the Far East, and I currently chair the board of directors of the Committee to Protect Journalists, a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that responds to attacks against press freedom around the world.
I am writing to express our profound concern about the proposed 1997 Intelligence Authorization Act (Senate Bill 1718), which, as reported out of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, would leave intact present U.S. policy permitting the use of journalists and journalists credentials by U.S. intelligence agencies. The members of the board of directors of CPJ strongly oppose the recruitment of journalists by the CIA and other U.S. intelligence agencies, and the fraudulent use of journalists' credentials by intelligence agents.
Such practices can and will endanger the lives of U.S. correspondents and other journalists around the world, while cutting off vital sources of information essential to the assessment and formulation of U.S. foreign policy. Further, the covert use of journalists in official intelligence-gathering operations would erode a cornerstone of our democracy: the constitutionally guaranteed status of the free press as an institution wholly independent of government.
This dispute may seem fundamentally philosophical, but I assure you that its consequences are quite real. I know. I have experienced first-hand the damage to the lives of journalists who have been unjustly charged with espionage.
In 1955, when I was a young girl in Budapest, my parents, both Hungarian citizens, and Associated Press and United Press International wire-service correspondents respectively, were tried, convicted and imprisoned on false charges of being CIA agents. They were sentenced to 25 years in prison, but were released in 1956, shortly before the Hungarian Revolution. My parents were never recruited by the CIA-- in fact, to their knowledge, they had never even met a CIA agent. For almost two years, I did not even know where my parents were. My mother and father were arrested for simply doing their jobs as good reporters: writing the truth about Communist-controlled Hungary in the 1950s. Since then, I've always felt that the safeguarding of press freedom was my special mission.
You will surely recall that Terry Anderson, another of our board members, and former Middle East bureau chief for the Associated Press, was held hostage for seven years by terrorists who accused him of working for the CIA. As Terry pointed out in his testimony at the Senate Intelligence Committee hearing, "We are talking about a real danger. This is not imaginary. Journalists are put in danger by the perception they are connected to intelligence agencies." More recently, to cite just one of scores of such cases, Pulitzer Prize-winners Roy Gutman of Newsday and John Burns of The New York Times had their lives threatened by Bosnian Serb militia leaders who asserted that Gutman and Burns were U.S. intelligence agents. Gutman sued in Yugoslavian courts to clear his name. The mere public suggestion that he was connected to U.S. intelligence services has made it impossible for him to work safely in his region of experience and expertise. For both Terry and Roy, it would have been immensely helpful if they had at least been able to accurately assert that the use of U.S. journalists by the CIA was prohibited by U.S. law.
As Ted Koppel stated in his testimony before the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence: "How often the CIA would actually use such cover is beside the point. The relevant question is how often it would be assumed, both at home and abroad, that American reporters are working with a second, secret agenda." This perception creates an extraordinarily dangerous working environment for journalists. This is especially true in countries which tend to be hostile to U.S. interests and U.S. journalists.
As you know, virtually all serious journalists and news media organizations reject the proposition that our profession should be among the various "cover" options available to U.S. intelligence operatives. The World Press Freedom Committee, the American Society of Newspaper Editors, the Radio-Television News Directors Association and the North American National Broadcasters Association are among the organizations that have stated their opposition to this amendment. Such a policy would cast a cloud of suspicion over all American correspondents overseas, making it difficult, if not impossible, for them to do their jobs. The disturbing acknowledgment that the CIA has waived restrictions on the use of journalistic credentials in intelligence-gathering operations in the past, and wishes to retain the right to do so again, may have already led some foreign leaders to believe that the CIA and leading U.S. policy-makers are actively urging an end to official constraints on the use of journalists for espionage.
In the House of Representatives, amendment 311 to the 1997 Intelligence Authorization Act (HR 3259) --passed on May 22 in a 417-6 vote-- took a positive first step by requiring a written presidential waiver for any authorization of the use of journalists in intelligence operations. However, even that amendment was not nearly strict enough.
First, it applied only to journalists accredited by a United States media organization, in effect permitting CIA recruitment of unaffiliated freelance journalists and of all journalists working for news organizations headquartered outside the United States. (It should be noted that many international news agencies, such as Reuters, are critical providers of information to the U.S. public.)
Second, it explicitly permitted the voluntary cooperation" of journalists with U.S. intelligence agencies. As involuntary cooperation is presumably never an alternative in a free society, this caveat renders meaningless any prohibition on the use of journalists by intelligence agencies.
Finally, it would leave under a pall of suspicion the many local journalists in repressive or conflict-ridden societies who cover human rights issues and national security affairs, and who are often accused of working for foreign intelligence services. In the past ten years, the Committee to Protect Journalists has documented 456 job-related deaths of journalists in 61 countries. Most of these deaths--more than 300--were deliberate political assassinations. Any policy initiative that would potentially add to this terrible toll should be vigorously opposed.
CPJ's concern transcends the very real issue of the safety of individual journalists. The covert use of journalists as government spies, and the use of fraudulently obtained journalism credentials by government spies, would fatally compromise not just the credibility of the U.S. press, but the very integrity of our democracy. As Mort Zuckerman noted in his testimony to the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, "To be the instrument of government, rather than a constitutional check on government, would undermine the good that independent journalism does for an open society."
Journalists like my parents and Terry Anderson know from their own personal experience that a policy which permits the use of journalists in intelligence operations jeopardizes the safety of all journalists working in dangerous and repressive countries. We strongly urge that the 1997 Intelligence Authorization Act (Senate Bill 1718) be amended to include a complete and unalterable ban on the use of journalists as intelligence operatives, and on the fraudulent use of journalistic credentials and agency affiliation as cover for espionage activities. I welcome your comments.

Diskless network boot NBD root
- 1 Boot from a NBD root device
- 2 Advantages/Disadvantages over NFS
- 3 Server-Side Setup
- 4 Boot Configuration
- 5 Testing
- 6 Using a Swap Partition
- 7 Updating the client system
- 8 Known Problems
Boot from a NBD root device
This article will explain how to boot an ArchLinux Installation from a Network Block Device (NBD).
Much of the work to be done is based on the article Diskless network boot NFS root, so this will be referenced several times within the article.
Advantages/Disadvantages over NFS
- updating the kernel from a client involves more work
- read/write support on multiple clients is only possible with the "copy-on-write" mode, see Configuring the NBD server for details
- resuming from suspend is currently not possible
Server-Side Setup
Create the NBD File and Boot Directory
Create a directory that will hold the boot directory and the NBD file.
mkdir -p /nbd/boot/
Next, create the actual file that will be shared via NBD. Of course you can also use an actual block device (a hard drive) instead of creating a file on your filesystem. Just replace
/nbd/root with the block device.
In this example we are going to create a file with a size of 5GB.
dd if=/dev/zero of=/nbd/root bs=1M count=5000
Now you can create a filesystem on the file.
mkfs.ext4 /nbd/root
mkfs will show you warning about the fact that the file is no actual block device. You can ignore this and simply press Template:Keypress to continue.
Alternatively, if you want to create an encrypted NBD device:
cryptsetup luksFormat -s 256 /nbd/root cryptsetup luksOpen /nbd/root nbdcrypt mkfs.ext4 /dev/mapper/nbdcrypt
/nbd/root. If your NBD file is encrypted,
replace it with
/dev/mapper/nbdcrypt, if you use an actual block device, with
Install ArchLinux on the NBD filesystem
Mount the filesystem:
mount /nbd/root /mnt
Create directories for the pacman database and a few mount points that will be needed:
mkdir -p /mnt/var/lib/pacman/ mkdir /mnt/proc/ mkdir /mnt/dev/ mkdir /mnt/sys/
sysfs and
dev. These will be neccessary to build the kernel image in the chroot environment:
mount -t proc none /mnt/proc mount -t sysfs none /mnt/sys mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dev
Install the Arch Linux base packages into the root directory:
pacman -Sy --root /mnt --dbpath /mnt/var/lib/pacman base
Build the mkinitcpio-nbdAUR package from the AUR. Then install it into the root directory as well:
pacman -U --root /mnt --dbpath /mnt/var/lib/pacman mkinitcpio-nbd-[...]-any.pkg.tar.xz
Configuring the Client system
The following configurations are neccessary for the client system to work properly, everything else can be configured later:
- set
NETWORK_PERSIST="yes"and the other client settings in
/mnt/etc/rc.conf. You will also have to remove/disable the
networkdaemon. The
nethook will set the IP on boot, so there is no point in using it. Additionally, if you would change your IP with the
networkdaemon, the connection to the root device would break. If you want a static IP, use the
ipkernel parameter (see Boot Configuration).
- set a mirror in
- enable your locales in
- set your DNS server in
/mnt/etc/resolv.conf, see
man 5 resolv.conffor details.
- add a line for
/dev/mapper/nbdcryptinstead of
/dev/nbd0if your root device is encrypted):
/dev/nbd0 / ext4 defaults 0 0
building the kernel image
Set the following hook list in
HOOKS="base udev net nbd filesystems"
If you use an encrypted NBD device, use this:
HOOKS="base udev net nbd usbinput keymap encrypt filesystems"
Then you can chroot into
/mnt and rebuild the kernel image. Remember that you mounted
sysfs and
dev earlier. This is always neccessary if you want to rebuild the kernel image.
locale-gen is only neccessary this one time to set the locales:
chroot /mnt locale-gen mkinitcpio -p linux exit umount /mnt/dev umount /mnt/proc umount /mnt/sys
After leaving the chroot, the kernel image will be in
/mnt/boot/. We are going to need it in
cp /mnt/boot/vmlinuz-linux /nbd/boot/ cp /mnt/boot/initramfs-linux.img /nbd/boot/
Configuring the NBD server
nbd-server is configured with the config file
/etc/nbd-server/config and can be started with
rc.d start nbd. You may also want to add
nbd to your DAEMONS array.
A basic config file may look like this:
[generic] [nbdroot] exportname = /nbd/root
In this example, there is only a simple export with the name
nbdroot, which makes the file
/nbd/root available via NBD. The name of the export (
nbdroot in this case, not
/nbd/root!) is important because you will have to set it in the kernel boot parameters later.
By default, nbd-server will make the export available to clients with read/write support. If you have more than one client you want to boot from, this will break your filesystem (see Updating the Client System for details). You could enable read-only by setting
readonly = true, but this is not recommended because there are just too many things that want to write to
/etc or other directories. You could partially work around this with tmpfs, but some things might still break.
Another interesting option is NBD's "copy on write"-mode (
copyonwrite = true). From
man 5 nbd-server:
"[...] any writes to this export will not be written to the master file, but to a separate file which will be removed upon disconnect. The result of using this option is that nbd-server will be somewhat slower, and that any writes will be lost upon disconnect."
It has not been tested yet how much this really affects performance, but if you want to boot from multiple clients, this is probably your best option.
For a detailed explanation of the config file, see the aforementioned man page
man 5 nbd-server.
PXE/TFTP Setup
Install syslinux and dnsmasq on the server, then follow the instructions here. Just make sure you use
/nbd/boot/ instead of
/disklessroot/boot/ for the TFTP-Root.
Boot Configuration
Copy the
pxelinux.0 boot file from syslinux to
/nbd/boot and create the
pxelinux.cfg directory:
cp /usr/lib/syslinux/pxelinux.0 /nbd/boot/ mkdir /nbd/boot/pxelinux.cfg/
Now create and edit
/nbd/boot/pxelinux.cfg/default, which contains the boot configuration for the client. Replace the value for
nbd_host with the IP address of your NBD server and
nbd_name with the export name you have specificed in
/etc/nbd-server/config. If your nbd-server is not listening on the default port (10809), you can set it with
default linux label linux kernel vmlinuz-linux append initrd=initramfs-linux.img ip=::::::dhcp nbd_host=192.168.0.1 nbd_name=nbdroot root=/dev/nbd0
See here for details about the
ip option.
If your NBD device is encrypted, use the following
append line instead:
append initrd=initramfs-linux.img ip=::::::dhcp nbd_host=192.168.0.1 nbd_name=nbdroot cryptdevice=/dev/nbd0:nbdcrypt root=/dev/mapper/nbdcrypt
Before you boot your client, make sure you unmount everything on the server:
umount /mnt/proc /mnt/sys /mnt/dev /mnt
If your NBD device is encrypted, close the LUKS device as well:
cryptsetup luksClose nbdcrypt
Using a Swap Partition
Although this has not been tested yet, you should be able to do this by creating a LVM volume group on
/dev/nbd0 that contains the root and swap partitions and adding
lvm2 before the
filesystems hook in
Updating the client system
Quote from the NBD homepage:
"[...] if someone has mounted NBD read/write, you must assure that no one else will have it mounted."
In other words, if you want to be able to update from your client system, you have to make sure that the NBD device is not mounted on any other system, not even read-only. If your NBD device is encrypted, make sure to not just unmount it, but also close it with
cryptsetup luksClose. Otherwise, you may break your filesystem. If you keep that in mind, everything except kernel updates should work fine.
Alternatively, you can mount the NBD device on the server and then update it (again, make sure it is not mounted anywhere else!).
Note that
dev and
sys should only be necessary for kernel upgrades, but just in case, they are included here.
mount /nbd/root /mnt mount -t proc none /mnt/proc mount -t sysfs none /mnt/sys mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dev chroot /mnt pacman -Syu exit umount /mnt/proc /mnt/sys /mnt/dev /mnt
Updating the kernel
Since the kernel the client system boots from is on the server and not on the NBD device itself, you will not be able to simply update your kernel with pacman. There are several other ways to do this:
- If you update from the client system:
- if you update from the server:
- copy
/nbd/bootafter the kernel update
- copy
Known Problems
Resume from Suspend causes I/O errors
When resuming the machine from suspend, the NBD connection drops and the root device is lost, causing I/O errors.
There is currently no fix or workaround for this. See patched nbd driver edition - https://github.com/katuma/mkinitcpio-nbd - it can suspend to remote NBD disk!

Woman Accuses Jamie Foxx Of Sexual Assault, Actor Responds Swiftly
A woman is accusing actor/recording artist Jamie Foxx of slapping her with his genitals 16 years ago, TMZ is reporting.
"The alleged assault happened in Las Vegas back in 2002," the news outlet claims. "According to law enforcement, the accuser told cops last week she and a friend were attending a party at Jamie's place when he tried to get her to perform oral sex. She claims when she refused, Jamie struck her in the face with his penis."
The accuser adds that she was hospitalized for a panic attack the very next day after the alleged incident. Vegas PD says that an investigation is open for this case. But, Nevada has 3-year statue of limitations and this case is long past due, since we previously stated that the alleged encounter took place 16 years ago.
Foxx's team has already responded to the claims. The Oscar award-winning actor vehemently denies them. Foxx's lawyer Allison Hart issued a statement to TMZ. It reads: "Jamie emphatically denies that this incident ever occurred, and he will be filing a report with the Las Vegas Police Department against the woman for filing a false police report against him. The first time [Jamie] became aware of this woman's absurd claims about an incident that supposedly occurred 16 years ago was when TMZ contacted his representatives [Tuesday] about this story."
Hart added, "The alleged incident was not reported to law enforcement in 2002, or at any other time in the last 16 years until last Friday because the incident never happened."
The accuser credits the #MeToo Movement for giving her the courage to come forward with her story.

Rugby World Cup
England have it all to do
Hugh Godwin
October 4, 2011
Can England manager Martin Johnson gets his side firing for their quarter-final showdown with France? © Getty Images
Tempting though it is to dissect the reputation England have built for themselves off the field during this World Cup, it would be beyond simple analysis or a brief bout of navel-gazing.
There is neither the time nor the space to go into what I regard as very deep questions of the nature of a professional rugby player's existence in a changing landscape; into which you can toss opinion and debate on the old amateur status, the 24-hour spotlight cast by multiple media, the mores and taste for humiliation and revenge of sections of British society, and the consequences of paying players to play a game that can be exciting, life-affirming, brutal, comic, dangerous and frivolous.
Better to stick here to what we have seen from England on the field during their successful campaign to finish top of Pool B, and to what they might and must do next to move on towards winning a second World Cup.
Having been to all of England's matches in Dunedin and Auckland, and watched them train in Queenstown and elsewhere, I find it inconceivable they have the wherewithal to defeat New Zealand at Eden Park. Added to that, I would make South Africa favourites should they face England, and rate the odds on an English win even or marginally against in any meeting with France, Australia, Ireland or Wales.
Not much hope then, eh? Okay, let's borrow the vernacular of the coaches and "concentrate on the positives". Right from when Martin Johnson had the pool draw against Argentina and Scotland land in his lap, his approach has been to find the shortest route to accumulating 20 or so points, nicking a try or two and adding the remainder with kicks.
It is unexcitingly predictable and it is frustrating that Brian Smith - who was hailed as an innovator when he coached London Irish - appears unwilling or unable to produce anything unexpected from the England backline. Perhaps Smith would argue the absence of Riki Flutey or any other playmaking successor to Mike Catt at inside centre has forced his hand. I do not condemn him or Johnson necessarily for not bringing through an Olly Barkley or a Shane Geraghty or AN Other to make merry in a white No.12 jersey. I have seen enough flakiness from Barkley and Geraghty in club matches to believe they would be exposed in Tests. Still there is the lingering anger that we will never know whether another few years of Brian Ashton coaching the backs would have opened the England midfield up to a new horizon.
In the here and now, an awful lot rests on the England fly-half. Though I recall advocating Toby Flood ahead of Jonny Wilkinson in this column at the start of 2010, there are elements of Wilkinson's game in tight matches that are better than Flood's, including an ability to scramble hard yards and compete physically with opposing back rowers in both attack and defence.
Even so, Flood's control alongside fellow replacement Richard Wigglesworth in the closing stages against Scotland last week was compelling. And Johnson's choice for this week's quarter-final with France may be forced anyway by Wilkinson's arm injury. On current form Johnson should go for the mix and match combination I referred to in a more recent column: Wigglesworth, Flood, Mike Tindall and Manu Tuilagi.
Oh no, not Tindall, I hear you sigh. Okay, what are the alternatives? Shontayne Hape, Matt Banahan or moving Tuilagi or Flood to inside centre all have their drawbacks. Thinking back, when England created loads of try-scoring chances in the pre-tournament friendly with Wales (possible semi-final opponents here) they had a midfield of Flood, Hape and Tindall, with Wigglesworth and Danny Care at scrum-half. Not that they finished any of those chances, of course.
Starting slowly has been a problem for England here, though if we stay with the positive thinking, it has not stopped them winning. I had the feeling after 25 minutes of the Scotland win that England felt they had the measure of their opponents. That did not mean they ran away with the match; just that in incidents such as Ben Foden imperiously swivelling out of a Scottish tackle as he tidied up a dangerous counter-attack, they knew they had it in them to win. That kind of belief is priceless, and though Chris Ashton is a weak link defensively - Scotland started well by exploiting his poor positioning with kicks but they could not keep it up - he has great self-confidence in attack.
So England can prosper if Flood and the improving Tuilagi combine to bring Foden and Ashton into the game more. Again, what England will look for against France is a try here or there, not hat-tricks all over the place as against the woeful Romanian second team.
They have half a chance of doing it if the scrummage starts as well against the French as it finished against the Scots, and if the line-out goes well with Tom Croft an invaluable target on the English throw. Defensively, there is an argument to give Tom Palmer the nod to disrupt France, and for Courtney Lawes to be withdrawn to the bench to be an impact player. And though I feel for the big-hearted Lewis Moody as he carries half a ton of sticking plaster around on that knee of his, I think he should be dropped and let Tom Wood start alongside Croft and, at a pinch, James Haskell over Nick Easter.
We have to trust Johnson not to be dumb enough to think "it's a World Cup, it's France, so England are bound to win". He knows intimately from his playing days how to get under the French skin. As manager at Twickenham in 2009 and 2011 his England defeated 'Les Bleus'. In Paris in 2010 the French had the edge, just. The teams look remarkably well matched, in their weaknesses as much as in the "positives". To expect the winners to go on to win the World Cup appears ludicrous but we can at least hope for some sort of a classic on Saturday, and then to see where the momentum of victory takes them.

About the Studio: Sharon Art Studio is jointly operated by the San Francisco Recreation & Parks Department (SFRPD) and the Friends of Sharon Art Studio (FOSAS), a non-profit public benefit organization dedicated to advancing the Studio's goal to promote art as way of exploring our selves and our place within the community. FOSAS believes that art education is an essential component to a healthy community and strives to ensure that quality, non-competitive art programs are affordable and accessible to all. While the facility is managed and maintained with city funds, FOSAS works in cooperation with SFRPD by augmenting and adding breadth to the Studio's program, and through raising funds for equipment, supplies and free after school and mentoring programs for youth. Sharon Art Studio could not offer the variety of classes and free community programs without the support of our donors.
Contributions support our free programs, including quarterly scheduled free art days, community events, and our youth mentorship program.

Error on debian lenny when updating Virtualbox 1.x to 3.x
I'm running debian lenny that was setup from minimal netinst. I had installed virtualbox from lenny repos (http://packages.debian.org/lenny/virtualbox-ose). But then I thought of upgrading to newer version of virtualbox because virtualbox 1.x refused to capture my mouse pointer inside guest OS. So, I added lenny-backports repos (http://packages.debian.org/lenny-backports/) to my /etc/apt/sources.list and did 'sudo apt-get install -t lenny-backports virtualbox). Then when I started virtualbox 3.x, and tried starting (/booting) any guest OS, I got this error:
When I was installing Virtuabox from lenny-backports, the 'apt-get install' output was:
Lines number 90,91,92 and 108, 109, 110, 111, 112 are worth noting in that paste.
(Note: If you want to check out log of output from 'apt-get install' on debian, goto /var/log/apt/ and open term.log in your text editor as root)
I then tried finding some help on #debian at irc.freenode.net.
User 'qq-' there suggested that I try rebooting. When I rebooted, I got this message in debian boot messages scrollback:
Starting Virtualbox kernel modules. No suitable vboxnetflt module for running kernel found. Failed
After some discussion, users 'qq-' and 'jpinx-eeepc' suggested that I try installing linux-image-2.6.32-bpo.5-686 (you can see mentions of this linux kernel version in the paste linked above). So, I did 'sudo apt-get install -t lenny-backports linux-image-2.6.32-bpo.5-686'.
When I started Virtualbox this time……wooohooo NO ERRORS THIS TIME 😀
So, in short, install the latest/stable/recommended linux kernel version if you get a similar error.

Earthwatch partner Royal Dutch Shell is a global group of energy and petrochemical companies, involved in environmental initiatives tied to employee learning, scientific research, and more.
Shell and Earthwatch have worked together since 1999 and became strategic environmental partners in 2008.
Taking part in hands-on research projects around the world which have been selected for their relevance to Shell as a company.
What started out as a small employee engagement initiative has developed into a program of work that supports Earthwatch's environmental research and learning programs and has direct business benefits to Shell. The multifaceted strategic collaboration includes the following key elements:
Each year, 49 Shell employees volunteer on Earthwatch projects. So far, more than 500 Shell staff have taken part in the program, returning with a greater awareness and understanding of environmental issues. As a key partner in Shell's Project Better World (PBW) initiative, Earthwatch provides Shell employees with a unique experiential learning opportunity to take part in hands-on research. The research projects around the world have been selected for their relevance to Shell as a company with a worldwide environmental footprint. On the Climate Change at the Arctic's Edge project, Shell employees conduct vegetation surveys, measure pH, moisture, and other features of the soil, take permafrost cores, set live traps for small mammals (in summer), and classify ice crystals and take snowpack measurements (in winter). This personal and professional development experience increases their understanding of sustainable development issues in the context of Shell's operations and inspires employees to promote environmental initiatives at work. At the same time, it provides a valuable resource to Earthwatch's conservation agenda, employing the skills and time of Shell employees on important environmental research initiatives worldwide.
Shell is a major long-term supporter of Earthwatch research, both directly and through the contribution that Shell employees make each year as volunteers on Earthwatch projects.
For example, Shell supports Earthwatch's research and learning project Climate and Landscape Change in Borneo's Rainforest. The research aims at maintaining rainforest ecosystem functions in the face of changes in land use and climate. This goal is important for the global community and is also of business relevance for a global energy company with an extensive biofuels portfolio. The collaboration also helps Shell deliver on its biodiversity standard to "work with others to maintain ecosystems, respect the basic concept of protected areas, and seek partnerships to enable the Group to make a positive contribution towards the conservation of global biodiversity."
The core funding employs a number of research and support staff and is used to engage Earthwatch teams on the project each year. The relationship also supports three local Ph.D. candidates who work alongside Earthwatch scientists on their own independent projects.
The program engages local stakeholders and emerging scientists from the region in the research, enabling them to build their field research skills and regional networks through participation in the program.
The Business Skills for World Heritage program was developed by Shell and the Shell Foundation with funding from Shell and is implemented by Earthwatch and run in collaboration with the UNESCO World Heritage Centre. This capacity-development program trains staff of agencies responsible for managing the natural World Heritage Sites, to date in Southeast Asia and Africa. Experts from Shell visit the project sites, where they share their experience and provide hands-on mentoring, sharing their knowledge and instilling preferred practice.
In 2012, with support from the Shell Foundation, Earthwatch began to expand this program and reach out to a wider range of corporate organizations and other natural protected areas through the establishment of the Earth Skills Network to continue to provide invaluable business planning skills training.
Since 2012, Earthwatch has been working with Shell's Social Investment team and the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) to develop and pilot guidelines for Shell Social Investment managers on how to appraise, design, and support biodiversity and ecosystem services projects that will deliver lasting benefits for society and the environment, in alignment with Shell priorities. This project aims to build capacity and understanding of conservation within the Shell Social Investment community and improve its ability to monitor and report on conservation projects at the country and group levels.
Shell values the continuing dialogue between Earthwatch and the company over their approach to key issues such as climate change, non-conventional oil and gas, and Arctic exploration. Earthwatch provides annual feedback on Shell's Sustainability Reports, and there are increasing opportunities for dialogue between senior Shell staff and Earthwatch scientists.
Every year, 49 Shell employees volunteer on Earthwatch projects. To date, more than 500 Shell staff have taken part in the program, they return with a greater awareness and understanding of environmental issues.
Shell receive annual feedback from Earthwatch on Shell's Sustainability Reports.
"Shell's work with Earthwatch is centred on employees providing practical experience and support to important environmental projects. With this approach, we find that employees return to Shell after their experience working with Earthwatch with a greater understanding of environmental issues, some of the broader environmental challenges faced by Shell in and around its operations, and a greater motivation to find ways to make a difference back in their daily jobs. This can only help to strengthen our business."

TIGERVILLE, S.C. – The King University women's soccer continued their road trip with a Conference Carolinas matchup at North Greenville University. The Crusaders tallied a goal in each half, and held off a late Tornado rally to take the contest 2-1 as both teams battle for a Conference Carolinas Tournament spot.
The Crusaders (6-8, 3-4 CC) got the first scoring chance of the game in the third minute as King goalkeeper Nicole Dagher turned away Franki Jumper's shot. North Greenville continued to pressure the Tornado (4-8-2, 1-3-2 CC) as Dagher came up with another save in the seventh minute.
The pressure finally paid off in the 33rd minute as Lindsay Tuten had her first shot saved, but collected the rebound and slid the ball into the net to give North Greenville a 1-0 lead. The Crusaders ripped four more shots the rest of the half, one being on net, but it was stopped by Dagher as North Greenville took a 1-0 lead into halftime.
The Crusaders started the second half with more scoring opportunities, and extended their lead in the 68th minute as Jumper netted her first golf of the season with an assist to Courtney Etheridge.
King then brought the play to the other end as Rachel Thorpe got the Tornado on the board with her eighth goal of the season. Just two minutes later, Kaitlin Robinson had a chance to net the equalizer, but her shot was turned away to keep the Crusaders in the lead. In the 79th minute, Devon Shanklin tried to even the score at 2-2, but her shot was also stopped.
King didn't give up as they had a corner king with 25 seconds remaining, but they couldn't find the back of the net as North Greenville took the 2-1 victory.
North Greenville outshot the Tornado 12-5 while both teams had six corner kicks apiece.
King will be in action again on Saturday when they travel to Barton College. Kickoff from Wilson, N.C. is scheduled for 1:00 p.m.

Worst MET Eyebrows: Ginnifer Goodwin
It's not the makeup that's the problem. Click here. You see the difference it makes when the makeup is worn with something complementary? The makeup works there, doesn't it?
It does NOT however work when it's on top of a Tory Burch dress. And while we're at it, let's sh-t on Alba too. She's also in Tory Burch. And I'd also slag it if it were the Golden Globes or any other red carpet event because it sucks. And it especially sucks at the Punk MET Gala, though maybe not entirely surprising when The Hollywood Reporter calls you a "mocktress".

The wife of Northern Ireland champion boxer Carl Frampton has turned the tables on a social media troll who said her family would be murdered by the UVF.
On Wednesday night Christine Frampton posted a message on Twitter with an image of a message sent to her by someone via Facebook.
The message said: "You and your kids and Carl are getting murdered by the UVF so F***ing watch!"
However Mrs Frampton showed that her husband is not the only fighter in the family and instead of cowering in fear, quickly reposted the message for her 12,000 followers to see.
Not surprisingly they responded in their droves with messages of support for her - and angry condemnation for the person behind the message.
Christine told them regarding the message: "Lovely message I got on Facebook. How do I find out who this person is because the profile seems to have disappeared."
Her plea for help was liked and reposted by hundreds of supporters.

CPU Coolers Roundup June 2008
1. Akasa AK-965BL
June is the perfect month to present another roundup with various cpu coolers. Today we will have in our hands the latest offering from from Akasa, Evercool, Nexus, Scythe an Titan. All products will be tested with exactly the same environmental conditions and of course same testing methodology.
In the first pages of this article you can read information about each cooler, as well as an evaluation of their design, quality of structure and retail package. Comparison and benchmark results follow in the last pages.
But first, let's meet the coolers.
- Akasa AK-965BL
Entry Level
We have already tested the Akasa AK-965BL that won a Best Buy Award. The new Akasa AK-965BL is essentially the same cpu cooler with different color (blue) for the rotating fan.
The AK-965BL utilizes the "U-shape heatpipe technology" for rapid and even heat transfer. A copper base is used for maximum heat absorption, three embedded copper heatpipes ensure fast heat transfer and 45 aluminum fins contribute to better heat dissipation.
An Intel approved power management (PWM) 92mm round frame fan is available for efficient and quiet cooling. Intel's reference push-pin retention is used for safe and easy attachment. The specific fan positioning enhances the VRM cooling (VRM - CPU Voltage Regulator Modules located on the motherboard).
Thermal compound is pre-applied.
The AK-965BL can be assembled horizontally or vertically as the heatpipes work independently of installation direction.
- Features
- 92mm blue-LED fan with crystal clear fan frame and opaque blue fan blades
- PWM controls fan RPM in line with CPU usage ensuring lo-noise cooling
- Three U-shape heatpipes give rapid heat dissipation
- Copper base for maximum heat absorption

I found the GED course to be very helpful on-line and am glad that it was offered. With my busy schedule, working and activities for the children it has taken me a long time to pursue this goal for myself. I am grateful for having the opportunity to do the GED on-line and thank you for offering it.
I have always had trouble with fractions and decimals and things of that sort. I have not been able to find anything that would just explain simple ways to do this math. This course hit the nail right on the head! The instructor was clear in her writing and teaching and explained things in simple detail so I could understand. Thank You!
I have tried many other methods of learning and this one actually got me to do fractions, something I thought I would never learn . Thank you.
Thank you very much. I feel like I am completely prepared to obtain my G.E.D. I started to work when I was very young, and always felt not finishing High School was something I had missed out on, and regretted. With your help, I will now right that wrong. You were very, very helpful. You simplified things that at the start seemed a bit more complicated. You made learning, and or, relearning in some cases, very easy. I would highly recommend your class to anyone. Thanks so very much.
Before this course I had no clue of what the GED exam would be. Now I feel more confident, and I know in which areas I have to work. I really enjoyed the course and the way it was presented. Thank you very much!
This course has helped me tremendously. I am preparing for the GED very late in life (about 27 years late). The prospect of going over these subjects was very unnerving to me. Much to my surprise, I now feel much more at ease and eager to sharpen up on my weak points so that I can pass all parts of the GED with flying colors! Thank you a million times over for making this course available.
Barb, as I look back over this course, I am so impressed with the scope, the explanations, and the lessons! They are definitely user-friendly and are very instructional. Most of all though, your responses were very supportive and helpful! I will be sure to recommend this course to anyone who needs it in the future! It is a wonderful teacher's course, too. Thank you again!
This course was absolutely perfect to help me assess what I need to do going forward to be ready for the GED. I know where my strengths and weaknesses are, and I'm excited to move forward. The lesson content was very helpful.
Thank you so much for offering this course. The isntructor was amazing and I am proud to say that I took the GED exam and passed!
Very helpful information, I felt like I was able to understand everything pretty clear and it helped a lot having to go lesson by lesson on each subject that was provided. I feel confident taking my GED test and believe I will probably pass. Thank you.

The Town of West Seneca Police Department operates a Family Offense Unit as a function of its Detective Division. Lieutenant William Leitzel is in charge of the office and three detectives are assigned to the office on a permanent basis. Lt. Leitzel follows up on all offenses that need investigation and have been committed by persons under the age of 16 years old. These officers also follow up on all offenses committed within the West Seneca School System. Child Abuse and Child Neglect cases are an important area that our Family Offense Unit works on. Detectives from this office follow up on all reports of child abuse and child neglect. They work closely with New York State Child Protection and Erie County Family Court in this area. In addition to these investigations most Missing Person cases are investigated by this office and most matters that need petitioning to Erie County Family Court also are handled by the unit.
Lt. Leitzel is in charge of the West Seneca Youth Court which is utilized for many minor offenses that cannot be sent to the family court system. In order for a case to be sent to the New York State Family Court System the incident must constitute a crime. Many times incidents that consist of only harassment or disorderly behavior need to be addressed. Under New York State Law these cases are not of a criminal level. Our youth court is a venue that can be used to addressed these issues. For more information on our youth court and how it is structured and operated contact us via email at Detective Lt. William Leitzel
Detective Lt. Leitzel in addition to his regular duties in the office is responsible for the supervision of of school programs. Our school programs include DARE and a number of other classroom presentations that are age appropriate for the students to whom they are presented.
Detective Duane Wisniewski, Detective James Kocieniewski, and Detective Anthony Serafini follow up on calls that our department handles that are designated as domestic violence as defined by New York State law. Detectives follow up on these cases to make sure that the victim or victims in these cases receive the services that they need. Detectives will work with the Erie County District Attorney's Office to make sure that cases that need criminal prosecution are documented properly. They also coordinates with Erie County Family Court on cases that the victim wishes to be handled in this venue. Detectives also deal with social issues reported to this department that involve the elderly. Detectives work to make sure that any cases of possible elderly abuse or neglect are addressed and the proper government organizations become involved in the matters.

Before 2007, the Nissan Skyline was an incredibly rare sight on these shores. Getting one would cost you thousands more than the list price and one of your children. And after all that you'd still be sitting on the wrong side of the car. And then your car would get taken by the government.
That's why it's so tragic when one of these cars bites the dust in an accident. Especially when the person who hits it flees the scene like a cowardly girl.
The crash, which occurred in Oregon, involved an older Ford Mustang directly t-boning a glorious, and we mean glorious, R32 Skyline GT-R. It was plowed from the right, which in the GT-R is the driver's side.
Thankfully, the car was in a parking lot and the driver wasn't in it at the time. The driver of the red Mustang got out of the car and took off on foot.
A skinny man between 6'4" and 6'7" was seen running from the crash. It is unclear if the man was hairy enough to be considered a Sasquatch.
Investigators are looking to ID the suspect today, if you see him call the police.

The Red Bulls U-18s, U-16s, U-14s and U-13s all faced MLS Academy rival Philadelphia Union, while the U-12s took on Albertson. New York Red Bulls U-18 (1) vs. Philadelphia Union U-18 (2) CHESTER, PA (May 21, 2016) – The New York Red Bulls U-18s fell 2-1 in a top of the table clash with the Philadelphia Union U-18s. The Union scored a goal first in each half to give themselves a two-goal cushion. The Red Bulls responded well after the second goal to create their two best chances of the game through Samad Bouthong and then Brian Saramago. The Red Bulls continued to push and would get on the score sheet in the 87th minute when Saramago was fouled on the halfway line. Saramago was quick to play the free kick and played a ball behind the Philadelphia defense for Barry Sharifi. Sharifi still had a lot to do and scored to give the Red Bulls a chance in the closing stages of the game. The goal however came too late as the Philadelphia defensive held firm to give them the win.
