[Update 3/20/12: For references, see my post on arachidonic acid provided by all types of meat, discussing the evidence that excess dietary AA promotes inflammation including skin inflammation found in typical skin disorders like eczema and psoriasis, here. Also my post discussing the evidence that heme iron found only in meat promotes inflammation, here.]
[Update 4/8/15: In May of 2014 I published on our Plant Based Solution YT channel the following video showing a reversal of an inflammatory skin issue that I developed during my paleo daze, but forgot to add it to this post. ]
[Update 3/20/12: I neglected to provide the reference: Whitney and Rolfes, Understanding Nutrition, 10th Edition, p. 91: "When fat is present, intestinal motility slows to allow time for its digestion."]

[Update 3/20/12: I guess I should have documented that excess dietary fat can impair liver and gallbladder function. Try searching PubMed with "high fat diet and NAFLD" or "high fat diet and NASH"and you will find plenty of evidence that high fat diets can induce fatty liver disease, like this, and this, or this, and fatty liver disease promotes gallbladder disease
[Update 3/20/12: This study showed that women with cystic breast disease and breast pain have abnormally elevated levels of prolactin when on a high fat diet, but when they switch to a low (20%) fat diet this abnormality disappears.]
[Update 3/20/12: So many people attack me for my supposedly stupid belief that a paleo diet is meat-based and low in carbohydrates. I don't get it. Loren Cordain has gone to great pains to provide evidence that both recent hunter-gatherer and ancient paleolithic era diets were low in carbohydrates. His books and those of Art DeVany and Robb Wolf all present paleo diet as reduced carbohydrate diets with limited starches.
The folks at the Journal of Evolution and Health recently got all excited by this 2011 paper by Ben-Dor et al which argues that man is an evolved fat hunter and includes the following claims
"modern hunter-gatherer (HG) groups, despite having access to fire and metal tools, also seem to have a strong preference for carnivorous foods over vegetal foods ([53]:682), a notion also supported by a recent study [75] that emphasizes limited consumption of carbohydrates by present day HG groups."
"an analysis of nine HG groups for which detailed dietary information exists ([76]:166) shows that five groups, located in an area abundant in vegetation, consumed only a meager amount of plant foods (17% of calories on average)."
I see no indication that scientists promoting paleo diet are endorsing high carb, low fat, low meat diets. I don't base my idea of paleo diet on what bloggers write, I base it on what the advocates of it have written in peer-reviewed science journals.]
Hence, my farewell to popularized paleo. I hope all "paleo," "primal," and "hunter-gatherer" dieters fare well in their quest for health. So long as what you do continues to work for you, keep doing it. I hope that you have the knowledge, clarity of mind, and subtlety of awareness to notice the early signs of malfunction before you succumb to something serious and beyond repair. I have a series of blogs forthcoming on this topic, outlining the Oriental medical understanding of the progression of disease from minor to major, which Chinese physicians have used for millenia to help people reverse and prevent diet-related diseases.

Transfer Window: January 2013The very best posts from KUMB over the years ...
Moderator: Gnome
Re: The January 2013 transfer window
strange you mention Bywater and tha fact you cant get excited about signing young keepers, because that is how we got Bywater in the first place, from Rochdale or someone.
he was OK -just not prem class, has had quite agood career I reckon.
This club only ever produced one top keeper in my time and that was Mervyn Day, and he lost the plot somewhere.I cant even think of many home grown keepers that acually played for the first team.
Peter Grotier. Neil Finn (just), who else?
It must be our worst position from the youth team to first team.
Re: The January 2013 transfer window
I had a feeling I might have got that confused. Think it's because we again got him young but yeah we seem to have a problem getting keepers from potential to actually decent...
How good a coach is ludo? Seriously.. Goal keeping always seems to be a problem for us!
Re: The January 2013 transfer window
The Olympiakos left back that Sullivan hinted at was probably Giannis Zaradoukas. He is a LB, was just loaned out to Aris along with Diamatakos and Tatos. He played for Greece in a qualifier against Israel. He would have been a good signing, a better defender than Holevas ( Oly & Greece LB).
Torosidis, who went to Roma, is very much a right-footed player. I recommended him earlier in this thread.
I also mentioned Stefanos Kapino, the GK for Panathinaikos. He would walk into the team straightaway. He is better than Butland IMHO. We should go for him for next season.
Re: The January 2013 transfer window
I too have heard really good things about this guy! He is really a hidden gem in many ways, really would love him here at West Ham for the future! Perhaps loaned out for a season or two to gain experience (I think he's 19 ish?) He's about the same size as our Spegiel 6 foot 5/6. I think once he gets to be Panathinaikos' first choice goalkeeper I can see him being snapped up by a 'bigger' club. Saying all that though, I have no idea what his value would be at! He's been called up to the Greece national teams as an understudy a few times.
I wouldn't say he would walk into the team though, certainly a very decent understudy to Jussi/Adrian.

ALEA has embarked on a two-part initiative to promote airborne law enforcement to Congress.
The first part is to encourage lawmakers to "support the funding efforts needed to keep aviation units active," according to the group. The second is a proposal to provide federal, state and local law enforcement agencies with opportunities to apply for federal monies that can be used to replace aging and surplus aircraft with modern aircraft and upgraded technology.
"We're not looking to take money from other police funding," said Stephen Ingley, executive director of ALEA. Instead, the association wants to identify future sources of funding and encourage Congress, through education, to help all airborne law enforcement operators gain and maintain access to sources of monies for aircraft and technical equipment acquisition.

The FSF's Trick-or-Treat Stunt at the Windows 8 Launch
Nov 5, 2012 5:00 AM PT
There's never a dull moment here in the Linux blogosphere, as Linux Girl has noted so many times before, but some weeks there's even less of a dull moment than usual.
Case in point: To "celebrate" the launch of Windows 8 just a few days before Halloween, activists from the Free Software Foundation played a little trick and handed out some treats at a launch event in New York City.
With a costume-clad "GNU" leading the effort, the FSF representatives handed out DVDs loaded with Trisquel along with FSF stickers and information about the group's new pledge, "which asks Windows users to upgrade not to Windows 8, but to GNU/Linux," the FSF explains.
Marketing genius or awkward attempt? That's what FOSS fans have been trying to decide.
'People Just Don't Care'
"Although their points are kind of redundant to techies, they do make some good ones," wrote blogger jhoegl on Slashdot, for example.
"Way to spread the word!" enthused Slashdot blogger colinrichardday.
Then again: "The word has spread. The problem is people just don't care," countered jellomizer. "It isn't like back in the 90's where people don't know about Linux and Open Source... They Do, they just don't care. They are willing to take the tradeoffs to get windows.
"The problem when you give people a choice, they will often choose something you don't like," jellomizer added.
'Seems Kind of Pointless'
Down at the blogosphere's Punchy Penguin Saloon, a similar mix of sentiments could be heard.
"Okay, exactly what did they expect to achieve by doing that?" mused Robin Lim, a lawyer and blogger on Mobile Raptor.
"Delivering a message that Windows restricts your freedom, invades your privacy and exposes personal data to a room full of journalist with Androids, iPhones and Windows Phones seems kind of pointless," Lim opined. "Most people are willing to give up some degree of access to their personal data, to companies they trust, so that they can give us better information and services."
In fact, "the Free Software Foundation seems out of touch with reality," Lim suggested. After more than a decade of Microsoft domination, and Apple and Google's rise in mobile, the world has not ended.
"People want alternatives so they can have competitive pricing," he concluded. "'Software Freedom' does not factor in. There is this thing called the Internet, you see, where people share all kinds of information about themselves; it doesn't work when everyone on it is anonymous."
'An Embarrassment'
Indeed, "sad and pathetic is what it is -- a pitiful 'LOOK AT ME!!' that frankly the whole community should look on as an embarrassment," Slashdot blogger hairyfeet asserted.
"Linus posing by the Windows sign was just cute, snarky fun, but to go to all the trouble to make a GNU costume and show up at a Windows 8 launch? It makes the whole community look like losers," hairyfeet added.
Others, however, saw it differently.
'We Have to Get Noticed'
"I've heard that many people feel that this tact was immature, and part of me even agrees with them," began Google+ blogger Linux Rants. "It probably wasn't the most mature way of getting the message across."
Still, "unfortunately our current situation is that Microsoft has billions to spend on advertising their OS and Linux doesn't, so Linux users and corporations have to get their message out in other ways," he added. "Showing up at a Microsoft OS launch and telling people about a really great OS that's free, faster, and more secure is a good way of doing it, in my mind.
"We need to let people know that there's a better solution," Linux Rants concluded. "To do that, we have to get noticed, and the FSF's Trick or Treat certainly accomplished that."
'This Hit the Right Tone'
Similarly, "I like the fact that they approached this in a more light-hearted manner than the Free Software Foundation sometimes does," offered Google+ blogger Kevin O'Brien.
"I am proud to be a FSF member, but I sometimes cringe when they get a little too much 'holier than thou,'" O'Brien explained. "I thought this hit the right tone."
And again: "It is an interesting idea, and the Linux distro they used seems like a good one," consultant and Slashdot blogger Gerhard Mack told Linux Girl. "So it may do something positive to spread the word."
'The Last Unconquered Frontier'
Last but not least, "I think folks standing in line for that other OS make a dandy target for enlightenment about Free Software," opined blogger Robert Pogson. "After all, there are few salesmen pushing GNU/Linux by comparison. Concentrating one's meagre forces where they make the biggest effect makes sense."
Consumers are "the last unconquered frontier for Free Software," Pogson added. "It's about time there was a major breakthrough."
Both 2011 and 2012 have been "a breakthrough for consumers and Free Software on Android/Linux," he concluded. "GNU/Linux needs some opportunities as well."

MedicAlert "MyVoice" Program and Giveaway
With food allergies, you can't predict where you'll be or who you'll be with should you have a reaction. However, you can take a few daily precautions to give you the peace of mind that you're prepared. Always carrying epinephrine and having a Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Emergency Care Plan are key, but you should also wear medical identification jewelry at all times. Just like you put on your watch or brush your teeth in the morning, putting on your ID becomes a part of your routine. It's a simple habit that could ultimately save your life.
Communicating the severity of a medical emergency quickly is critical, which is why we have partnered with the MedicAlert Foundation to provide the "MyVoice" program, designed to help protect individuals with food allergies with live-saving services. The MedicAlert Foundation stores an individual's medical information and links it to his or her personalized medical identifications. Additionally, a MyVoice MedicAlert membership provides family notification service in the event of an emergency, 24 hours a day.
We're giving away a free MyVoice membership! MedicAlert has provided one free medical ID bracelet and membership. Click here for a few easy ways to submit an entry into the raffle.
We encourage you to join MedicAlert to fully protect yourself or your child. Even if you don't win the giveaway, the MyVoice program through FARE provides a 10 percent discount on MedicAlert memberships for both adults and children. The Kid Smart membership comes with a free basic ID, or a $10 credit toward an upgraded medical ID product, while the adult membership comes with a $10 credit toward any medical ID product.
Please note: FARE does not review, test, sponsor, endorse or recommend any products or services that may appear on our blog.

Today I began, yet again, to think about the fact that I haven't written anything more than a grocery list since back before Christmas. At first I chalked it up to being busy over the holidays, which we were, with the usual running from family to family and county to county. We were busy despite my vow to get organized and have all the presents wrapped and ready before Christmas so we could slow down a little. And I did achieve it. I spent the weeks before the holidays getting everything done but somehow it still seemed that Christmas blew past us with no time to really pause. Matter of fact Gabby's birthday, Valentine's day and now Tori's birthday seem to be breezing past us too.
In some way I think it might have to do with the winter weather, or lack of it. Last year the ice slowed us down even if we didn't want it to. It might not have been on Christmas day but we had at least a day or so when we just couldn't get out and we had to make do at home. I usually like winter, at least for a bit and then like everyone else I'm pining for spring. This year there was no real snow to add any contrast to the slightly faded landscape. For me a good snow can help me remember that everything around me is still beautiful and perhaps only asleep. Seems that the only contrast we've had of late is a layer of mud that's getting slung here and there.
All that grey surrounding us partnered with the politics on news and the usual holiday family stresses has had me wishing for a day warm enough to walk outside barefoot, that would let me stand with my back to the sun and let the heat work out the tension. It's enough to make me wish for a house on the beach…I suppose logically politics and family worries would follow me there. At least it would be warm though!
It's funny I never was one to follow politics. With Dennis and I both having jobs that are connected loosely to state funding and privy to being swayed by the political climate of the time I haven't been able to get away from it. However removed I am from Frankfort and Washington I can't "not" keep up with it. Changes to bills and laws and budget cuts, insurance or lack of it, party lines in the sand, may start at the top but they trickle down to not just those people over me but eventually to those I'm close to. Normally I would have tried to write the worries out of my system but I've been stuck in my head of late. And it doesn't help that I managed to kill our home computer by cleaning it. Suppose I should have known that it was running partly due to a layer of dust!
When I get worried about stuff I tend to revert into myself for awhile. I guess I'm mulling it over but nothing seems to be getting any clearer here lately. I'd like to bury my head to everything going on around me because it feels like the world at large is taking a huge chunk of my personal life. I guess that's taking the easy way out though. It can sure get tiresome trying to do what you think is right. It can get even more tiresome when you yourself aren't sure what's right anymore.
I guess you're all wondering if I have a point with this whole tangent? In all honesty I don't think so. I'm not going to attempt to offer any answers. The older I get the more I realize I don't know. I think I just needed to vent, to clear my head for a bit. I guess what I wanted to say is that I sure could do with a temp over 70 degrees or maybe I could use a little less upheaval in government, a little less subliminal campaigning and maybe a few more days when people remember that despite what party you support, when it all gets down to it, there are people involved on every side of every issue. Then again maybe I don't really even need that sun, maybe I need a day when the snow will fall quietly around all of us, stilling us, hushing our voices and making us slow down long enough to remember why we're here. Sun or snow I wish all of you a peaceful weekend.

San Francisco Giants Tickets
San Francisco Giants Tickets Tickets Rated 0.00/5 based on 0 customer reviews 100 0
Never count out those Giants. Seemingly dismissed each season as lacking offense and falling behind the Dodgers, it's San Fran at the end of the day with three titles in five seasons. Buster Posey remains at the center of the dynasty. The cast around him has changed quite a bit, though. Brandon Crawford has suddenly emerged as a major offensive threat. The rest of the lineup, including Brandon Belt, Joe Panik, and Angel Pagan somehow find a way to get it done. Madison Bumgarner, Tim Hudson, and Chris Heston lead a typically solid rotation. Santiago Casilla and the bullpen are plenty solid--make no mistake, this team's concern is offense yet again. But if the past is any indication, they should be just fine. The San Francisco Giants are one of baseball's great all time franchises. That's why it's surprising to realize 2010 was their first championship since moving from New York in the 50s. But their early 2010s dynasty will be noted in the history books. It's a great thing for the franchise to move on from the Bonds era in this way--it could be argued Bonds teams weren't more successful because they were too focused on just him, whereas these title teams couldn't be more team, not individual, focused. AT&T Park is an exciting baseball culture. Giants fans pack the stadium night in and night out better than only a couple other fan bases. Be sure to walk around the right field plaza to check out McCovey Cove, and you just might reel in a home run ball. Gold Coast Tickets has the best selection on San Francisco Giants tickets at AT&T Park!

Homemade Hummus
With so many high fat snacks on the market, eating healthy can be tricky. Help your child make a low fat snack with little more than a can of chick peas. In addition to something tasty, she will learn about measuring and mixing. She will also end up with something nutritious that she can share with family and friends.
What You Need:
- 1 15-ounce can chick peas or garbanzo beans
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/8 teaspoon chili powder
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Small bowl
- Medium bowl
What You Do:
- Open the can of chick peas and drain off the liquid, but don't pour it into the sink. Pour it into the small bowl. Your child will use some of it in Step 4.
- Have your child pour the chick peas into the blender, and help her measure the garlic powder, chili powder, the cumin, the salt, the olive oil, and add them to the blender.
- Have your child blend the ingredients.
- At this point she will have a coarse meal, when what she wants is a smooth dip. Help her add several spoonfuls of the liquid from the can, and blend again.
- Repeat Step 4 until the hummus is the desired consistency.
Canned chick peas give a smoother texture than cooked dried chick peas. If you don't have a blender, you can do this in a bowl with a hand blender. If you use a food processor, it may be difficult to get the hummus smooth enough. Serve with pita or tortilla chips, carrot or celery sticks or cucumber slices.

Aston Villa 1 Newcastle 2: Visitors survive spirited second-half fightback
Newcastle United resisted a valiant second-half fightback from Aston Villa to win 2-1 at Villa Park.
Last Updated: 30/01/13 6:51am
The visitors controlled the first half and deservedly led 2-0 at the break thanks to fine goals from Papiss Cisse and Yohan Cabaye.
Villa responded brilliantly in the second period, but although Christian Benteke pulled a goal back from the penalty spot, they were unable to force an equaliser and now drop into the bottom three.
Newcastle handed debuts to Yoan Gouffran and Moussa Sissoko and signalled their intentions with a high-tempo start in which they dominated both territory and possession.
Their energy was rewarded after 19 minutes, when Sissoko split the Villa defence with a divine threaded pass to Cisse, who took a touch before beating Brad Guzan with a low, right-footed shot.
The goal stunned Villa into life and although they remained second best, Charles N'Zogbia almost drew them level with a superb left-footed half-volley from 22 yards that cannoned back off the post.
But they soon found themselves 2-0 down after a moment of brilliance from Cabaye, who swept a brilliantly struck right-footed half-volley into the top corner from 25 yards.
Villa made two changes at the break, sending on Gabriel Agbonlahor and Andreas Weimann, and twice went close to pulling a goal back within seconds of the restart.
Weimann had the first, turning and letting a right-foot shot fly from 12 yards that Tim Krul did well to save, before Benteke drew a similarly smart stop from the Newcastle goalkeeper with a left-footer from just inside the box.
Villa's tails were suddenly up and they deservedly got on the score-sheet through Benteke's penalty after Agbonlahor went down easily in the box under a challenge from Mathieu Debuchy.
The hosts continued to push and it took another fine stop from Krul to deny Weimann's low drive after a fine cross-field pass from Benteke.
With Newcastle digging in, Villa forced one final chance, when Nathan Baker met a corner unmarked but saw his point-blank header blocked on the line.

[Verse 01: Murs]
No chain, tattoos where you can't see
I'm the one, I'm the man that you can't be
Decade and plus in the game, I got a name
While a lot of these commercial ass rappers should be ashamed
Sold your soul for that 15 minutes
You was in, you was on, you was hot, now you finished
I represent the real hip-hop
For my homies that still sell pills and load Glocks
I told them young dudes clean your money up
There's a recession and it's the perfect time for comin up!
You can listen to these rappers if you're dumb enough
Or smile, get money, have fun, be one of us
Why you acting tough for?
Wouldn't throw a cream-puff in a cupcake war
It's not real, it's all what you make it
All you got is your word and you're fucked once you break it
[Hook: Murs]
Life is a myth and time is an illusion
I'm a light shining through the confusion
We sell frequencies designed as music
All I do is kick rhymes, have fun, and do cool shit
[Verse 02: Ab-Soul]
If it wasn't for this hip-hop ish, I'd probably lose it
The real thinker: don't confuse me with Confucius
Cut on your blinker, get it right, I'm the prototype
I spit like I mix chemicals in beakers
Way before I heard my words thumping out a speaker
I knew I was too cool to play follow the leader
Everything I do goes over the head of overachievers
We can discuss this over lunch, it's over when I dump my thesis
Fuckin' punks, bunch of bitches: y'all should wear pumps
Square up, run to Orange County for a "fair" one
I'm out your frequency, don't speak to me
Reason be I'm like a deity, I'm the elite
MURS: bow our heads, bon apetit
Let's turn Paid Dues into Coachella and have a feast!
This rap game is full of lames driving themselves insane
Looking for a lane, mayne
[Verse 03: OC]
This is grown-man talk
Head up high with pride is how I walk. Take notes from the source
It's ? analog and the 2-inch ?
You had to show and prove the skill to cop you a deal
Co-signs was void, shortcuts didn't exist
You had to go hard in the paint to score
Testing time to separate the weak from those
Who had abilities to transcend beats in other words, yo
You had rappers, and then you had emcees
? Melly Mel G Rap and O.C
Busy B, Starsky, Old Varsity
Sideways talk nowadays: larceny
Fast forward, present time, now it's something called 360 deal
Idiots ask where do I sign?
I'm shaking my head thinking you out your cotton-picking mind!

Homecoming for Barham
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The halfway point of a stretch of five road games finds the Yale field hockey team in Charlottesville, Va., this weekend to take on No. 5 Virginia. This will be the fourth time in six games that the Bulldogs take on a nationally ranked opponent. It is also a homecoming of sorts for senior midfielder/back Mary Beth Barham (Fairfax, Va.), whose hometown is about 100 miles away.
Yale (3-6, 1-2 Ivy League) is coming off a 5-0 loss to No. 1 Syracuse. Since Sept. 16 the Bulldogs have played three teams in the top four in the country right now, including the Orange along with No. 3 UConn and No. 4 Princeton.
Barham, who was a second team all-state selection at W.T. Woodson High, is second on the team in points (2-0-4) behind junior midfielder Erica Borgo (Randolph, N.J.). A four-year starter for the Bulldogs, Barham has been an All-Ivy League selection twice (second team last year, honorable mention as a freshman). This year she has transitioned from midfielder to center back to help replace 2011 Ivy League Defensive Player of the Year Erin Carter '12.
Yale has held its opponents to one goal or less in four of the last seven games, thanks in part to the work of junior Emily Cain (Laytonsville, Md.) in goal. She enters the week 15th in the country in saves per game (7.67) and 23rd in save percentage (.742). Last weekend against Syracuse, sophomore Heather Schlesier (San Diego, Calif.) came on in relief of Cain and shut the Orange out for the final 35 minutes, making four saves.
Virginia (11-2, 2-0 ACC) has won six in a row, and its only two losses this season have been one-goal losses on the road (at No. 7 Penn State and at No. 8 Northeastern). The Cavaliers are third in the country in goals per game (4.38), with forward Paige Selenski fourth individually (1.50 goals per game). Selenski, who is on pace to become Virginia's all-time leader in points and goals, redshirted last season to compete with the U.S. National Team. She played in the 2012 London Olympics with current Yale volunteer assistant Melissa Gonzalez.
Every goal Yale scores this season brings the world closer to a cure for myotonic dystrophy. Senior goalkeeper Ona McConnell (London, England) has been diagnosed with the disease, the most common form of muscular dystrophy. The Bulldogs are taking pledges for a season-long "Goal-a-thon" as part of their "Get a Grip" campaign to raise awareness and funds for the Myotonic Dystrophy Foundation.

- Chan: "I mean, who could have seen this coming? Seriously. A journalist that lies? Is anything sacred?"
- Huang: "Nothing."
- ―Chan Jaoming and Huang Lee
Sources is a PSP exclusive mission given to Huang Lee by Chan Jaoming in Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars. Chan wants Huang to abduct his former associate, Melanie Mallard, from a TV studio before her show goes on the air and bring her to a secure location.
Huang meets Chan at his penthouse in Middle Park. Chan, visibly upset, informs Huang that Melanie Mallard received an opportunity to broadcast her show on television. Unfortunately, she intends to reveal both Chan and Huang's involvement in drug trafficking, manufacturing and distributing. Huang suggest to simply go to the TV studio, get rid of the incriminating tapes and kill Melanie before her show goes on the air. Chan, however, seems reluctant at the mention of killing Melanie citing that her "hinted promises of tender romances" and "hours spent M.M.O.G-ing can't be for nothing". He then orders Huang to kidnap her and take her to the dock compound in Hove Beach. After infiltrating the Channel 15 studio in Hove Beach, Huang must shoot his way through an onslaught of security guards. After dealing with the guards, knocking out Melanie and questioning Chan's orders, Huang chases after Mel's cameraman and kills him by destroying his van, which is a Gumshoe like in the mission Scrambled for Wade Heston. Huang then brings Melanie at the dock compound where Chan arrives shortly thereafter. Melanie attempts to both blame Huang and try to flatter Chan to convince him to let her go. A distraught Chan feigns to let her go only to shoot her in the head with his gun. As a final image, both Chan and Huang remain silent, Chan appears to be remorseful while Huang remains silent, out of shock.
Be quick and drive to the TV studio in Hove Beach. You've got a limited amount of time to complete this mission. When you reach the target, you'll find the alley guarded by some security guards. Either kill or sneak past the guards and head towards the locked door in the middle of the alley. After hacking the door's lock, you will head inside.
Once you get inside, a flash grenade rolls in and a pair of security guards, one with a shotgun, enter. Kill them quickly, and more guards will enter, be quick to move around and gun down the enemies, picking up the health and armor drops as you need them.
When the waves of guards stop coming in, Mel leaves her small enclosure, letting you inside to grab a bat. Equip the bat and use it to hit Mel once to knock her down. Move to the marked switch at the bottom-right corner of the screen and a cutscene takes over.
You're now behind the wheel of a van and need to chase down another van that the cameraman has run away in. Catching up with him can be tough, but he's not the best driver so you'll eventually get your chance. Ram into the van and try to wedge it against a wall, then fire at him to quickly destroy it. Once the van catches fire, leave it be and it'll blow up in due time. Knock Melanie Mallard out and drive her to the dock compound to finish the mission.
Mission Objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Go to the TV Studio in about 2 hours
- Smash the door lock to enter the TV Studio
- Defend yourself against the security guards
- Knock out Mel with your melee weapon.
- Go to the roller shutter
- Blow up the cameraman's van
- Meet Chan at the dock compound
- Channel 15 Studio security guards - Killed by Huang Lee to make his way to the studio.
- Melanie's cameraman - Chased and killed by Huang Lee for trying to escape with the recordings.
- Melanie Mallard - Killed by Chan Jaoming for betraying him.
Video Walkthroughs
- The alleyway behind the TV Studio is the same alleway where the first gun shop from Grand Theft Auto IV is located.

Online Copyright Infringement and DEA consultation – my response
Ofcom sought views on a code of practice called "the Online Copyright Infringement Initial Obligations Code" as outlined in its document Online Infringement of Copyright and the Digital Economy Act 2010. The consultation page is here. The consultation document is here.
My response:
Question 3.5: Do you agree with Ofcom's approach to the application of the 2003 Act to ISPs outside the initial definition of Qualifying ISP? If you favour an alternative approach, can you provide detail and supporting evidence for that approach?
I do not think Ofcom's position is sufficiently clear to either agree or disagree. Paragraph 3.23 states:
"Where a Wi-Fi network is provided in conjunction with other goods or services to a customer, such as a coffee shop or a hotel, our presumption is that the provider is within the definition of internet service provider."
However it is not clear what is meant by provider. So for example, consider a Starbuck's coffee shop which also provides Wi-Fi. Is the provider the individual coffee shop, or is it the entire Starbuck's chain? Similar questions apply to hotels, libraries, airports and other providers of Wi-Fi access. Even with this issue clarified, it is not at all clear how such providers of Wi-Fi would be expected to count their subscribers, or even how a subscriber could be defined.
Question 3.6: Do you agree with Ofcom's approach to the application of the Act to subscribers and communications providers? If you favour alternative approaches, can you provide detail and supporting evidence for those approaches?
Paragraph 3.31 states:
"Those who wish to continue to enable others to access their service will need to consider whether take steps to protect their networks against use for infringement, to avoid the consequences that may follow."
It is entirely unreasonable to expect users to police the use of their networks. Users should not be held to account for the activities of those who use their networks without permission, whether or not that network is protected. If someone steals a tool from my garden shed and uses it to commit a crime I am not liable for that crime, whether or not my garden shed was locked.
Question 4.2: Do you agree with our proposal to use a quality assurance approach to address the accuracy and robustness of evidence gathering? If you believe that an alternative approach would be more appropriate please explain, providing supporting evidence.
The DEA states:
"124E Contents of the Initial Obligations Code
2.26 This sets out what the code underpinning the initial obligations (whether an industry code or Ofcom's own code) must contain. The code must set out the process by which the initial obligations will operate and the procedures that copyright owners and ISPs must follow in relation to them. It must set out the criteria, evidence and standards of evidence required in a CIR and the required format and content of a notification letter sent to a subscriber. It must not permit any CIR more than 12 months old to be taken into account for the purposes of a notification."
Note it states that the code "must set out the criteria, evidence and standards of evidence required in a CIR". The DEA is quite clear here.
Ofcom is not discharging its responsibility to set out the criteria, evidence and standards of evidence.
Ofcom in not even saying that it will agree an industry standard code with ISPs.
Ofcom is saying that copyright owners should provide a Quality Assurance Report detailing the "steps taken to ensure the integrity and accuracy of evidence".
Ofcom is saying that (paragraph 4.6) "it requires Copyright Owners to develop appropriate technical standards". This is incredulous: technical standards do not lay within the domain expertise of Copyright Owners. It is much more appropriate for ISPs and Ofcom to develop the technical standards.
Ofcom also says (paragraph 4.4) "we are proposing that a Copyright Owner (or an agent acting on their behalf) should, before submitting their first CIR (and from then on an annual basis), provide Ofcom with a Quality Assurance report". So not only can the Copyright Owner set their own standards, they don't have to make these standards available for scrutiny until they submit their first CIR.
Ofcom says (paragraph 4.6) "it is similar to approaches that have been effective in other areas of Ofcom's remit, e.g. ensuring the accuracy of communications providers' metering and billing; and interference standards for TV transmission;". This again is beyond belief, Ofcom is saying that the standard of evidence required for prosecution under the DEA should be similar to the standards required to avoid TV transmission interference. This position is also inconsistent with Ofcom's position on CIRs. In paragraph 4.3 (in relation to CIRs) Ofcom states: "We believe that this matches the standard of evidence required by the courts in relation to civil proceedings by Copyright Owners for copyright infringement."
So Ofcom is saying CIRs must meet "standard of evidence required by the courts in relation to civil proceedings", yet the technical standards only need to meet the level of accuracy required for metering, billing and TV interference.
Does Ofcom not realise that a chain is only as strong as its weakest link? The overall standard of evidence in a chain is only as strong as the weakest piece of evidence in that chain.
Ofcom gives the impression that it regards the setting the criteria for evidence and standards of evidence as purely a technical matter, rather than both a technical and a legal matter. Has Ofcom even taken any legal advice on this?
Question 5.2: Do you agree with our proposal to use a quality assurance approach to address the accuracy and robustness of subscriber identification? If not, please give reasons. If you believe that an alternative approach would be more appropriate please explain, providing supporting evidence.
No. My objections are similar to my objections stated in my answer to question 4.2. In short Ofcom is not meeting its obligations under the DEA. Ofcom must "set out the criteria, evidence and standards of evidence", it cannot defer this obligation to the ISP.
Question 7.1: Do you agree with Ofcom's approach to subscriber appeals in the Code? If not, please provide reasons. If you would like to propose an alternative approach, please provide supporting evidence on the benefits of that approach.
Paragraph 7.8 states: "In exceptional circumstances it may be appropriate for oral hearings to occur and the appeals body will therefore be able to order a hearing."
The subscriber should be able to request a hearing. If this request is denied the appeals body will have to justify why the hearing was denied.
In order to ascertain it there might be some systematic error in the process, subscribers must be able to request a list of all CIRs submitted by all Copyright Owners in relation to that subscriber. This would allow a subscribers to ascertain, for example, if some of the alleged infringements occurred when the subscriber was not at home.
300th anniversary of copyright
The Statute of Anne, the first copyright law, entered into force 300 years ago today, on the 10th April 1710. It established a copyright term of 14 years, which could be renewed for another 14 years if author was still alive when the first term expired (books already in print were granted a copyright term of 21 years).
The Copyright Act 1814 extended the copyright length to 28 years, and if the author was still alive when the term expired, the right of publication could be extended for the rest of the author's life.
The Copyright Act 1842 extended the copyright term to the life of the author plus 7 years, or 42 years from the first date of publication, whichever was longer. Posthumously published works were provided with a 42 year copyright term.
The Copyright Act 1911 extended the term of copyright to life and fifty years (with certain exceptions).
The Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 extended the copyright term to seventy years from the death of the author for literary, dramatic, musical or artistic works. If the author is unknown, copyright expires seventy years after the work is first made available to the public. If the work is computer-generated, copyright expires fifty years after the work is made.
In most countries around the world, copyright length is life of the author plus 50 years or life of the author plus 70 years
A Fair(y) use tale – Disney explains copyright
Eric Faden asserts fair use to cleverly and humourously explain copyright. He mashes up clips from Disney in his film A Fair(y) Use Tale:
Will Mickey Mouse ever go out of copyright?
At the State of the Net West event on the 5th of August, Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren led the discussion about Antitrust in the Internet Era.
She made some brief comments at the end of her remarks, where she took on copyright, noting that it is a government granted monopoly that deserves antitrust scrutiny. She said, "Let's face it, copyright extension these days is 'limited' to the life of Mickey Mouse." And yes, there was sarcasm in her voice over the word "limited." The guy from Disney shuffled uncomfortably at these remarks. Lofgren went on to say that copyright is being used to put up barriers to competition and innovation and is an issue that antitrust regulators really should be scrutinizing.
Tom Bell took this up on his blog and produced an amusing graph showing the astounding extensions of copyright in the United States and the way in which they track potential expiration dates of the Mickey Mouse cartoon, Steamboat Willie.
I've reproduced the graph here:
Mickey had a couple of close shaves in 1976 and 1998. But never fear, with Disney's takeover of Marvel, Mickey has enlisted the help of the likes of Captain America, Spiderman and the Fantastic Four to help him defeat the evil pirates who want to expand the public domain and free our culture. Mickey even has Jack Sparrow, who I assume must be some sort of pirate double agent, on his side.
Google Book Scanning Program
When I first heard about the Google Book Scanning Program, I thought: They can't do that, it breaks copyright law. I now know this position is too simplistic.
So why did I change my opinion? Well, I bought an ebook reader. And quite a few of the books that were free were about copyright and copyright law. I read them. To my surprise I found it a fascinating subject. These books included Free Culture by Lawrence Lessig, The Public Domain: Enclosing the Commons of the Mind by James Boyle and CONTENT: Selected Essays on Technology, Creativity, Copyright and the Future of the Future by Cory Doctorow.
As technology advances the law needs to change to keep up. And, perhaps surprisingly, the law has been remarkably good at adapting itself to the advent of new technology. I'll qualify that: when new broad laws or judgements are made they tend to understand the essence of the new technology and these laws or judgements tend to be remarkably robust, some are even almost prescient (the judgement that software should be protected by copyright law, not patent law, for example). However when new specific laws or judgements are made to address a particular problem the result tends not to be so good.
The pioneers of technology often find themselves in a grey area of the law, or even on the wrong side of the law. Lessig's and Boyle's books are full of examples:
- In the early days of aviation it was illegal to fly over private property, since the owner's property rights extended indefinitely upward.
- When radio started broadcasting recorded music the artists complained that their "creative property" was not being respected and that they should be paid. This claim was rejected (when a radio plays a recording it only has to pay the composer, not the artist)
- Cable TV. When companies first started wiring communities with cable television in 1948, most refused to pay broadcasters for the content that they echoed to their customers. Even when the cable companies started selling access to television broadcasts, they refused to pay for what they sold.
- VCR. When Sony produced the VCR the film studios claimed that, because the device had a record button, Sony was benefiting from the copyright infringement of its customers. Then MPAA president Jack Valenti warned, "When there are 20, 30, 40 million of these VCRs in the land, we will be invaded by millions of 'tapeworms,' eating away at the very heart and essence of the most precious asset the copyright owner has, his copyright. One does not have to be trained in sophisticated marketing and creative judgment, to understand the devastation on the after-theater marketplace caused by the hundreds of millions of tapings that will adversely impact on the future of the creative community in this country. It is simply a question of basic economics and plain common sense."
Progress often requires technology pioneers to test the law. If Sony had just acquiesced and said "OK, VCRs are illegal, we won't do those" it would have been to the detriment of everybody: the general public and the movie and television industries.
As technology evolves, the law adjusts. In the case of copyright sometimes this means more rights for creators, sometimes less. As Lawrence Lessig says in Free Culture:
In each case throughout our history, a new technology changed the way content was distributed. In each case, throughout our history, that change meant that someone got a "free ride" on someone else's work. In none of these cases did either the courts or Congress eliminate all free riding. In none of these cases did the courts or Congress insist that the law should assure that the copyright holder get all the value that his copyright created. In every case, the copyright owners complained of "piracy." In every case, Congress acted to recognize some of the legitimacy in the behavior of the "pirates." In each case, Congress allowed some new technology to benefit from content made before. It balanced the interests at stake. In our tradition, as the Supreme Court has stated, copyright "has never accorded the copyright owner complete control over all possible uses of his work." Instead, the particular uses that the law regulates have been defined by balancing the good that comes from granting an exclusive right against the burdens such an exclusive right creates.
The Google Book Scanning Program is just another case where the law must balance the interests at stake. It is certainly in the public interest that our cultural heritage is digitised and made searchable. It's also in the interests of authors. It's in the public and authors interest that out of print works are made available.
It's not, however, in anyone's interest that Google has a monopoly. But the way to avoid a monopoly is not to stop Google digitising books, but to get more people to do so. Amazon. Microsoft (which only recently stopped its digitization project). Government funded Legal Deposit Libraries (such as the British Library). The EU free access library Europeana.
It seems that after initial knee-jerk reactions people are coming to their senses. In July, Viviane Reding, EU Commissioner for Telecoms and Media, stated:
We should create a modern set of European rules that encourage the digitisation of books. More than 90% of books in Europe's national libraries are no longer commercially available, because they are either out of print or orphan works (which means that nobody can be identified to give permission to use the work digitally). The creation of a Europe-wide public registry for such works could stimulate private investment in digitisation, while ensuring that authors get fair remuneration also in the digital world… Let us be very clear: if we do not reform our European copyright rules on orphan works and libraries swiftly, digitisation and the development of attractive content offers will not take place in Europe, but on the other side of the Atlantic . Only a modern set of consumer-friendly rules will enable Europe's content to play a strong part in the digitisation efforts that has already started all around the globe.
On the 7th of September EU Commissioners Reding and McCreevy issued a joint statement: It is time for Europe to turn over a new e-leaf on digital books and copyright. In it they said:
…we also need to take a hard look at the copyright system we have today in Europe. Is the present framework still fit for the digital age? Will the current set of rules give consumers across Europe access to digitised books? Will it guarantee fair remuneration for authors? Will it ensure a level playing field for digitisation across Europe, or is there still too much fragmentation following national borders? What could be the contribution of Europeana, Europe's digital library, when it comes to working on a European response to digitisation efforts in other continents? Is Europe's copyright framework modern enough when it comes to digitising orphan works and out-of print works? These books represent the vast majority of European libraries' collections (around 90%) . In our view, these books must be recovered and given a new lease of life.
Once again the law is adjusting itself to technology.
I'm a technologist. I love technology. But now I'm starting to love the law as well. I certainly understand why some people have a passion for the law.
Digital Britain Report and Orphan Works
On 16 June the Government published The Digital Britain Report, its strategic vision for ensuring that the UK is at the leading edge of the global digital economy. This report received a lot of coverage in the press because it:
- included proposals to throttle the internet speed of those caught illegally file sharing and allow Ofcom to force ISPs to collect data about those sharing files.
- recommended that every household have access to a connection of 2Mbps or more by 2012.
- proposed that households and businesses will have to pay a £6-a-year tax per landline telephone to extend internet access across the country.
I want to talk about something else: the report also contained proposals about the use of orphan works.
Orphan Works
So what are orphan works? An orphan work is a work that is in copyright and where, even after an extensive search, the copyright owner cannot be identified or found.
Orphan works form a large part of our culture and heritage that is virtually inaccessible. These works include books, photographs, movies and television programmes.
These works cannot be used without risk of civil and even criminal prosecution. They cannot even legally be digitized so that they can be searched. The quantity of orphan works is vast: the British Library estimates that 40% of its archive consists of orphan works and the BBC estimates that about one million hours of orphaned programmes are contained in its archives. All this material is effectively lost to humanity. The consequence for film is much more dire: old film deteriorates and will be lost forever unless it is preserved and restored. But no one is going to pay to restore film that cannot be shown.
The problems surrounding orphan works include:
- Some works are physically deteriorating and may be lost entirely before they can be preserved or restored
- Some works are effectively inaccessible to the public. They are only available to those who can access copyright libraries.
- Some works are effectively inaccessible to anyone. They are not indexed, searchable or discoverable so their content cannot be found even by a dedicated searcher such as a historian, filmmaker or publisher with a keen interest in their content.
- Orphan works do not generate income for their copyright holders
- Orphan works cannot be republished, even by someone willing to pay the copyright holder, since the copyright holder cannot be found
You may recall the Mitchell & Kenyon Collection of films that was screened on the BBC a few years ago. The films were rediscovered in the 1990s, after languishing for many decades in the basement of a shop in Blackburn. The films were expensively restored by the BFI (British Film Institute). These films give a fascinating view of Edwardian England and form the largest collection of early non-fiction films in the world. These films date from about 1900 and are out of copyright – this means they can be restored, copied and shown to the public.
Suppose someone found a collection of old films about the Second World War, or the Korean War, or perhaps showing some interesting aspect of our industrial heritage in the 1950s. Could the BFI legally restore and distribute them? Could the BBC show them as part of an educational or cultural programme? The answer is no, not without obtaining permission from the copyright owner(s). But how can the copyright owner(s) be found?
Suppose you found an old photo of your parents' wedding, taken by a professional photographer. Could you have it professionally retouched? The answer is no, not without obtaining permission from the copyright owner.
When a copyright owner cannot be found projects which might benefit our national heritage are abandoned. Scholars cannot make use of letters, images, books and manuscripts. Publishers cannot republish old works that have been forgotten. Museums are frustrated in the creation of exhibitions, books and websites. Archives cannot make rare footage available to wider audiences. Documentary filmmakers must exclude important source material from their films.
Digital Britain Report and Orphan Works
To its credit the Digital Britain Report looks at the problems associated with orphan works.
The Executive Summary, paragraph 47 states:
we will also make some changes to the legislative framework around copyright licensing, to tackle problems such as those surrounding the use of so-called orphan works and thus help digital markets in those works to develop.
paragraphs 43 and onward in Chapter 4, Creative Industries in the Digital World state:
43. …In order to pave the way for a more effective framework to deal with orphan works, the Government proposes to introduce legislation to enable commercial schemes for dealing with orphan works to be set up on a regulated basis.
…However, the expectation is that anybody wishing to use orphan works will be expected to secure an appropriate permission from the Government first…
Where the Digital Britain Report falls down
The report fails to understand a fundamental point: there is the public interest case for making orphan works more easily accessible and there is the copyright holder's interest in being reunited with their works, and those two interests are rarely in conflict.
We are currently in the lose-lose situation where works are inaccessible to the public, and where copyright holders are not getting credit or payment for their works. We need to find solutions that work in the public and copyright holders' interests. Works need to be un-orphaned.
There are two main solutions being proposed, I'll call these ask permission and ask forgiveness.
Ask permission
This is the approach currently favoured by Britain and the EU. It means anyone proposing to use an orphaned work must as a Government approved body for permission to use the work (after doing a due diligence search for the author).
The trouble with this approach is that it simply does not address the problem. It doesn't help identify copyright owners. It doesn't allow mass digitization for indexing purposes. It prejudices the legitimate rights of the copyright holder. It doesn't address the fact that there are vast quantities of orphaned works.
The latter point is particularly damning. This approach has been adopted in Canada. Since 1990 the Copyright Board of Canada has granted permission for the use of 237 works, these include "the reproduction of Châtelaine magazine covers in a promotional calendar", "the reproduction of two nursery rhymes in an educational textbook" and "the reproduction of six images of aliens (source unknown)". This is hardly unlocking the lost works of Canadian culture. (See http://www.cb-cda.gc.ca/unlocatable-introuvables/licences-e.html )
Ask forgiveness
This is the approach being pursued in the US. There, provided a user makes a documented, good faith, diligent but unsuccessful search for the copyright holder, the user is free to use the work. (Of course the terms 'diligent' etc need to be defined, but that is a matter of legal detail.) The user is indemnified against prosecution. If the copyright holder resurfaces then they are entitled to a reasonable compensation for use of their work (again the precise legal meaning of 'reasonable compensation' needs to be defined – the US report goes into this in some detail).
Everyone wins. Our cultural heritage is unlocked, and copyright holders can get compensation for their works.
We need a digital archive of our culture that is available to historians, researchers and people who are simply curious. We need a means of republishing orphan works. We need to unlock our lost culture. Let's not enact legislation that prevents all that.

Illicit P2P File-Sharing and the law
Much of the discussion around the UK government's Consultation on Legislation to Address Illicit P2P File-Sharing has been about whether the penalty of internet disconnection is too severe, or about what is or is not legal, or about what should be legal.
I'd like to talk about something else: what happens when someone is accused of doing something illegal. What happens is that we go through the criminal justice system. People who break the law are sentenced by a judge after due legal process. The sentence passed takes into account previous convictions, so repeat offenders are properly dealt with.
The "creative industries" think the law is too slow and want to be able to directly punish people, bypassing the legal process.
The government is proposing that, in the interests of expediency, Ofcom or a government minister can act as judge and jury. There is nothing special about the crime of illegal file sharing that means extrajudicial powers of punishment should be granted either to Ofcom or to ministers.
Once a minister has this power, who's to say their judgement won't be biased by, say, the fact that the accused has a blog that is critical of the government.
Mandelson seems to want to create a Judge Dredd for the internet. And the most frightening thing is that, with the current cabinet, he would be Judge Dredd.

conversation with one of our developers today:
developer: An exception was encountered during the get latest operation. Exception: 2100 : FailExistingDownload
Nick: did you retry it?
developer: yep, happened again
developer: when I GLV <project X>
Nick: be specific what you are GLV'ing so that I can test it ?
developer: narrowing it down
developer: <$/specific path to a .CPP file>
Nick: works fine for me, so something in the client side is wrong; odds are that it's something in the mechanism which tracks the local state of the file; you could try restarting the vault client; is there anything particular/specific you are doing with this local folder that could confuse the state tracking in teh client?
developer: nope. I'll try restarting, and if that doesn't work I'll blow away my Vault cache
Nick: k
developer: restarting the client fixed it. Dunno. Dunwannano.
any ideas?

Hard to say without more troubleshooting. Most likely some sort of network glitch or something else preventing the download. If it's reproducible with a specific set of steps or if it happens often, we'd like to see the server and client logs.
Let me know if you want to go beyond "dunno."

Did you ever figure out what the problem with this was? I've got two PCs that throw this error when we try to get the latest version of a folder. What info can we give you to help troubleshoot it?
This error can be caused by a number of things.
Is it reproducible? If so, what steps/folders/files reproduce it?
Is there anything in the Vault server log that corresponds to the error (it's sgvault.log in %windir%\temp\sgvault.)

I'm working on getting the server log. In the meantime, I have one more piece of info: the problem only happens when Visual Studio is open. If they close Visual Studio, Vault gets the file correctly.
Send the log file to support at sourcegear.com, ATTN Linda. Be sure to include a link to this forum post.

I wanted to add to this thread based on troubleshooting a different user so that this information could be found by future users. The issue involved having a developer who is actively developing on the same machine as where the builds happened. The developer was logged into the GUI client and working and a script was logging in with the same name on the command-line client. Both were sending commands at the same time. There were two possible ways to resolve this. One was to have the script use a different username. The other was to have the script run under a different Windows username so that it would have a cache in a different location.

The Goose Girl at Gruchy
MILLET, Jean-François (1814 - 1875)
Date: 1854-6
Media: oil on canvas
Size: 33.0 x 24.8 cm
Acquired: 1952; Bequest; Gwendoline Davies
Accession Number: NMW A 2479
Collection: The Davies Sisters Collection
The goose girl's wistful gaze contrasts against the lively geese honking behind her and swimming in the water. In the background are the houses of Gruchy, the hamlet in Normandy where Millet was born. This work was painted after his first visit to the area in nearly ten years. There is a sense of personal nostlagia, less common to his works from Barbizon.
