SAPELO ISLAND, Ga. — Joshua McCloud had never put his feet in the ocean. But here he was on a hot Southern afternoon, a shy 16-year-old from Atlanta with a love of science finally experiencing the wonders of the sea.
Joshua was one of six urban teenagers visiting this remote barrier island for a few days and nights last week, boys who had barely any experience in the wilderness but on whose shoulders the future of environmental science might rest. The boys are among 100 students from 22 states chosen by the Nature Conservancy for an intensive summertime month of working outdoors.
This is not the kind of program where a poor young adult from a city goes to a farm for a week to get a glimpse of something beyond a high-rise. Nor is it simply a way to address the condition known as nature-deficit disorder that is said to afflict children of the digital age.
This is an effort to create scientists and engineers who do not look like most of those already in the field.
That both environmental science and the largest conservation organizations in the country are predominantly white is no secret. The number of minority students receiving undergraduate degrees in natural resources, agricultural management or related fields hovers around 10 percent of the total, according to the National Center for Education Statistics and Department of Agriculture reports.
Prominent nonwhite professionals in the fields are rare, too; when President Obama selected Lisa Jackson as the first black leader of the Environmental Protection Agency, it was a significant moment. Groups like the National Black Environmental Justice Network, which have argued that environmental issues disproportionately affect minorities, have long pushed for more diversity in the profession.
"There's this misperception that African-Americans and minorities aren't connected to environmentalism because we're not seen in the big conservation groups or the profession over all," said Tyson-Lord Gray, who is working toward his doctorate in environmental ethics at Vanderbilt University and was one of two adult mentors who watched over the group in Georgia.
Mr. Gray's grandfather was a farmer in Georgia, and like many people in the conservation field, he cites an early exposure to nature for his interest as an adult.
"I don't think there is a lack of concern among communities of color around environmental issues," he said. "It's just that it has always been connected to people's livelihoods and saving neighborhoods."
The idea behind the program, Leadership in Environmental Action for the Future — a name chosen in large part so the acronym spells LEAF — is to move promising minority students with a predisposition to nature into professions where conservation, the environment and natural resources are a theme. Most of the money to pay for it comes from the Toyota U.S.A. Foundation.
The students are mostly from middle-class Hispanic, black or Asian families. All live in large cities and have high GPAs at high schools whose curriculums center on the environment.
They are paid minimum wage to spend time in small groups on various projects around the country. In New Jersey, they banded osprey. The Georgia group pulled out invasive plant species, fixed trails, searched for endangered tortoises and counted oysters on an eroding shoreline.
"Basically, we're like mini-scientists," said Brandon Latorre, 16, who attends the High School for Environmental Studies in Manhattan and whose family is from the Dominican Republic.
Terry Davis, 17, who attends Arabia Mountain High School near Atlanta, came by his interest in nature because his parents made him stay outside all day. While his friends played basketball, he searched out bugs.
During his four weeks in the program, he developed an appreciation for plant life. And although he wants to become a corporate lawyer, he thinks he will find a way to weave the environment into his career.
Joshua McCloud, the young man who put his feet in the ocean for the first time, is hoping to become an industrial engineer. And, perhaps, to carry the message back to his friends.
"Teenagers our age don't really care about the environment," he said. "But we're learning that all the decisions you make now are going to hurt or help you in the future."
The boys also learned about things they may not have wanted to, like how big a banana spider can seem when it accidentally lands on your chest, how yellow an animal's eyes can look in a midnight-dark forest and how nasty a summer swarm of Georgia mosquitoes can be.
And then there were the chiggers. They chewed into Peter Chen's legs so badly he got an infection. It was a far cry from the perils of Manhattan, where Mr. Chen, 16, attends Stuyvesant High School. "I didn't even know chiggers existed before this," he said. "And I'm not happy that I do now."

By Harsha Walia
I wish I could start with the ritualistic "I love you" for the Occupy Movement. To be honest, it has been a space of turmoil for me. But also one of virulent optimism. What I outline below are not criticisms. I am inspired that the dynamic of the movement thus far has been organic, so that all those who choose to participate are collectively responsible for its evolution. To everyone – I offer my deepest respect.
I am writing today with Grace Lee Boggs in mind: "The coming struggle is a political struggle to take political power out of the hands of the few and put it into the hands of the many. But in order to get this power into the hands of the many, it will be necessary for the many not only to fight the powerful few but to fight and clash among themselves as well." This may sound counter-productive, but I find it a poignant reminder that, in our state of elation, we cannot under-estimate the difficult terrain ahead. I look forward to the processes that will further these conversations.
Occupations on Occupied Land
One of the broad principles in a working statement of unity (yet to be formally adopted) of Occupy Vancouver thus far includes an acknowledgement of unceded Coast Salish territories. There has been opposition to this as being "divisive" and "focusing on First Nations issues". I would argue that acknowledging Indigenous lands is a necessary and critical starting point for two primary reasons.
Firstly, the word Occupy has understandably ignited criticism from Indigenous people as having a deeply colonial implication. It erases the brutal history of genocide that settler societies have been built on. This is not simply a rhetorical or fringe point; it is a profound and indisputable matter of fact that this land is already occupied. The province of BC is largely still unceded land, which means that no treaties have been signed and the title holders of Vancouver are the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh, Tseilwau-tuth, and Musqueam. As my Sḵwx̱wú7mesh friend Dustin Rivers joked "Okay so the Premier and provincial government acknowledge and give thanks to the host territory, but Occupy Vancouver can't?"

After receiving the Nars Glossybox and being extremely pleased with the product, I decided to treat myself to a new set of lippies.
Within my previous review I couldn't seem to quite get on with the Rikugien Satin Lip Pencil, I partially think this was due to me feeling slightly under the weather. I found that it wasn't very moisturising and didn't stay on too well, however my friend Christie seemed to absolutely love it.
I really love the idea of the lip pencils as they are an all in one beauty product. I have found that with lipsticks you generally need to buy the matching lip pencil in order to stop the lipstick from bleeding and to also achieve a better finish.
So being able to get that right shape and colour your lips all at once with one product is a fantastic idea, which I am sure has been around for a while. Whilst I am sure you can use this theory with generic lip pencils I am sure they don't feel very nice as they would probably be very dry.
I did find that with these pencils that I still found it a lot easier to use my Mac Prep & Prime lip primer, as I couldn't get the lip pencils to glide on my lips very easily.
I have to say that I am extremely impressed and happy with these purchases and am elated that I chose to treat myself, especially when I ordered them from feel unique, there was a free gift if you spend over £45. The staying power is remarkable and I love the bright bold colours.
I purchased 3 lip pencils (Mysterious Red, Dragon Girl and Luxembourg) and got one free (Dolce Vita travel sized).
The Nars Velvet Matte Lip Pencils are lipsticks combined with the convenience of a pencil in a jumbo crayon design. Lips are instantly saturated with rich pigments and a velvety matte finish. The long lasting, non-drying formula is enriched with emollients for a creamy texture, while a combination of unique silicones ensures long-lasting seamless colour for hours. Enriched with Vitamin E. (R.R.P £19).
Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Dragon Girl, a vivid siren red. I absolutely love this colour it is defiantly my favourite and I am sure to is one Taylor Swift loves too. this has such amazing staying power i was genuinely gob smacked.
Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Dragon Girl, a vivid siren red. I absolutely love this colour it is defiantly my favourite and I am sure to is one Taylor Swift loves too. this has such amazing staying power i was genuinely gob smacked.
Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Mysterious Red, a crimson red. This is a gorgeous bright red and can make any outfit pop. Again i cannot believe the staying power of this little beauty.
The Nars Satin Lip Pencil dresses up lips in a statement shade that seduce with rich, colour-bright pigments while drenching them in a decadent moisture, a modern, long-wearing, vitamin enriched formula in a jumbo pencil format to provide great wear and intense colour with a satin finish. (R.R.P £19).
Nars Satin Lip Pencil in Luxembourg, a vivid watermelon. I loved this colour and the shiny finish without it being sticky, that's why I steer clear of gloss purely because I don't like the stickiness.
This stayed on all day really well which surprised me.
I would highly recommend Nars Lip Pencils to any make-up/ lippie junkie, these are just amazing. I will certainly be purchasing more, got my eye on Cruella and Damned at the moment.
What are your thoughts? Are there any you would like or want me to review?

A few years ago myself and a girl friend where out black berry picking when I was attached by a mountain lion. our attack was so much like the Prairie Creek couples experience with one big difference neither of us went to the hospital. If it were not for my wonderful friend and her courageous dog I would not still be here.Their is not a day that passes that I do not think of just how lucky I am. To this day neither one of us has been able to go berry picking or go into the woods. The experience has left us both with very serious injuries, they just do not happen to be the kind that you see. What has made it even worst was the response we received from our local " so called protectors"( fish and game)*

WE ARE forever being told to look at the Dutch experience.
The Netherlands always does it better . . . or something like that. The people of this small north European state are now celebrated more for tolerance and pragmatism than windmills and wooden shoes. Nobody will be surprised to know the Dutch experience is very instructive in the current debate around Red Light Zones in Scotland. But not in the way you might think. Brothels were effectively legalised in Holland in 2000, and, since 1997, street prostitutes have been able to work unharrassed in the "tolerance zones" of major cities.

18/11/2009 IGF banner incident
This year topics on the agenda of the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) – in Sharm el Sheikh, Egypt – are amongst others managing critical Internet resources, security, openness, privacy, access and diversity. On Sunday in their opening talks both the Egyptian Prime Minister and the Minister of Telecommunication were stressing especially the economic opportunities internet offers. Not one word was referring to the open character of internet, technical- and content wise. "Egypt's legitimacy to host such a meeting is questionable as it has repeatedly been guilty of violations of online free expression," Reporters Without Borders said.
However minister Tarek Kamel of Communication and Information Technology welcomed explicitly the two fathers of the internet – Sir Tim Berners Lee and Bob Kahn – both very much in favour of an open and inclusive internet. Tim Berners Lee gave a summary of the past twenty years of the Internet existence as we know it. There has been lots of debate about the open structure of internet – transparency and openness versus security and safety. Berners Lee: 'But two webs will not work, it has to be one web. No matter which device you use. Not only a matter of the language and signs you use. This universality implies an international approach. As time went on, standards did not seem enough. The web had to serve humanity to its up most including the disabled, poor and illiterate.' Berners Lee than officially launched the World Wide Web Foundation. With support from the Knight Foundation the WWW Foundation will not look at connecting computers or counting webpages: 'we look at humanity and want to empower the people'. He closed with the announcement of a workshop the next day on the precise goals and tasks of the new foundation.
The IGF has had its political incident just a few hours before. The Open Net Initiative – related to the Hivos partner The Berkman Institute – had their banner removed at the start of their workshop. The banner was taken away by security officer removed because it referred to amongst others Tibet and the Great Firewall of China. After their presentation ONI announced to write a letter to officially protest to the UN/IGF organisation against this act of censorship. Robert J. Deibert: ' When we refused to remove it, their security guards bundled it up and took it away. If this is a form of internet governance than how can privacy, access and freedom of expression be seriously discussed at this congress?'

16/02/2009 You will get the media you deserve (Dutch)
Je kunt uitgaan van de vraag: hoe kunnen professionele media overleven in deze digitale tijden? Hoe moeten media – en kranten in het bijzonder – hun productiekosten en inkomstenstroom opnieuw vormgeven? Hoe kunnen bloggers en andere on line media inkomen genereren? Hoe een mediabedrijf te starten en financieren, gebaseerd op bijdragen van het publiek?
Van deze bekende vragen zijn zeker de eerste twee niet bijster nieuw zoals is te zien op de Amerikaanse nieuwsuitzending uit 1981 over de San Francisco Chronicle en Examiner en hun inspanningen hun krant online te zetten. Deze herkauwde vragen hebben vooralsnog weinig concrete antwoorden of bevredigende oplossingen opgeleverd. Deels omdat het de verkeerde vragen zijn, stellen Persephone Miel en Robert Faris van het Berkman Center for Internet & Society.

14/02/2009 PBwiki on the move
'Making a wiki is as easy as making a peanut butter sandwich', is the slogan of the company PBwiki. This week founder David Weekly visited an ICCO meeting as a keynote speaker. The Peanut Butter metaphor will not last much longer because in a few months time this name will be changed. Better integration in the desktop, use of spreadsheets and calender will be included in the new version; formerly known as PBwiki.
The meeting started with a handful development organisations – ICCO, IICD and Euforic – giving a short presentation of the way they use PBwiki in their daily work. Some organisations even integrated PBwiki in their intranet to make individual and collaborative planning, reporting, communicating, documenting and supporting easier. This was a gathering of enthusiastic wiki users. Of course the co workers who are less happy in using on line tools did not attend the meeting.
When does it work? You need:
– to focus on the need —-and deliver
– a simple structure
– manage access levels
– initiators, collaborators and audience
– timely support
We work smarter together; is David Weekly's philosophy. He chatted about the start of PBwiki – he wrote it in a few hours – about the current situation and future business plans. He shared some wiki tips and emphasized the importance of privacy: all data uploaded is encrypted and saved on servers at three locations. Some of his clients – amongst others the Royal Bank of Scotland, FedEx and the Financial Times – are dealing with highly confidential stuff. You own your data, according to David.
Wiki's will not do the work for you. One of the speakers talked of the parallel with gardening; a wiki does need attention and maintenance. Only then it will pay of, look nice and make people happy. Just like a garden does.

13/12/2008 Content versus tech
The end of the year means conference time. Last week I attended two. The first about Internet Governance (IGF) and the other about media development (GFMD). What struck me most was that Hivos was the only organization attending both congresses. The world of infrastructure, technology on one hand and the world of content on the other hand still seem to be very separate worlds. The Internet exists at least twenty years and still a deep river runs between the two.
Internet is pre-eminently a medium that combines both; the best content of the world is worthless without a solid and stable communication and distribution technology behind it. To fully profit from the possibilities the Internet offers, content people have to work closely together with the technies, not only on micro level – in editorial teams – but also on governance level.

12/12/2008 Athens was burning
My first two days in Athens felt surreal. Here we are, staying in a posh hotel, attending a congress on media (Global Forum for Media Development) with 450 media people. Meanwhile a few blocks away thousands of Greeks were demonstrating and fighting with the police.
Few people wanted to involve, one of them was Sameer, hub manager at Witness.org. He went out to have a look at the riots in the old city and shoot some video. Afterwards he showed me the material and his Flip camera; magnificent in its simplicity, quality and price.
I went for a walk to the centre on my third day in Athens (Wednesday 10 Dec). First I went to the Parliament building. At 12.30 hr. the demonstration was forced to spread. For this the police mainly used tear gas. Nasty stuff. The demonstrators looked like average citizens (students but also older people, white collars ect). They could well belong to the 'Generation 700'; well educated people in their twenties and thirties with a monthly income of about 700 euro's. That might be enough ten years ago but this is definitely not the case any more.
The scene I still remember clearly – without taking a picture – was the young boy crying on the pavement, leaning against a window. Some people were helping him, to get the tear gas out of his face by blowing cigarette smoke in his eyes. The ten year old happened to be on the wrong place when the police starting firing the tear gas.
I continued walking to the Athens Polytech that was taken over by students and other youngsters. It is located about 500 metres from the Parliament. The Polytech has a history regarding uprising. Wednesday the situation at the University looked grim; many black clothes and gas masks, some hollow looking junkies at the entrance and big speakers blasting out loud punk rock music. The surrounding streets were a complete mess; everything that was inflammable – cars, trees and houses – was burned.
What always surprises me in this kind of situations; the way ordinary life continues. Also in Athens men continued doing their shopping, women kept selling cookies even when the police turned up behind their back, lots of people went for a walk in the old city centre during their lunch break. And of course, the taxi driver did not want to drive me back to the hotel (2 km) for less than 20 euro. No way buddy.
The Greek do not trust their government; corruption is said to be wide spread and the investments in the Greek society are insufficient; in health, in welfare and especially on education. Of course, the concept of democracy is never finished and needs constant maintenance. Because times, yes they are changing. But it is ironic to see the country that invented democracy in such a troubled state.

It is possible to affect what is shown on the HDMI output of a Centro-8. It can display images, short movie clips (.mp4 files) and certain types of simple website material. The commands are send via a Centro macro, which can be called by the app, or be part of a timed / conditional event.
1. Displaying Images / Web URLs:
Within a Centro macro, use the action type: 'Launch Web Page' - and specify the path to the file. For example, "http://www.demopad.com/logo.png" or, if a local file, just "logo.png". In the case of a local file, the file must have been uploaded to the Centro-8 using the 'Additional Files' option found on the Centro project upload screen.
2. Playing Movies:
To play a short movie clip (up to 1080p resolution), again with a Centro macro, use the action type 'Send Command' - choose the Centro device, and an example command would be: "PLAYMOVIE:http://www.demopad.com/balloon.mp4", or if a local file : "PLAYMOVIE:mymovie.mp4" Again if a local file is used, the file must have been uploaded via the 'Additional Files' option. For advanced users, it is possible to specify co-ordinates & video window size, eg "PLAYMOVIE:mymovie.mp4 Position:32 840 448 1067" which specifies a window with top left x=32, y=840 and bottom right x=448, y=1067 for example.
Note there is 2GB of usable storage on a Centro-8, however it is recommended to only use short clips of video, and host them externally if possible.

It's generally believed that Owney's original owner was a mail clerk because, just as Bob the Railway dog was obsessed with trains, Owney loved the scent and texture of mail bags and followed them by land, train, or boat wherever they went. When Owney's owner left for whatever reason, Owney stayed behind at the post office with his precious mailbags. After a while, Owney began to follow the bags, first in mail wagons and then on mail trains. He started to rack up miles, traveling through the county, then the state, and finally the whole United States. Mail clerks were happy to let him do this because they realized that no train Owney traveled on ever crashed, making Owney a good-luck talisman. So, they started to give him little trinkets and medals to attach to his collar to represent everywhere he'd been. When he'd traveled so much that that they no longer fit on his collar, he got a little jacket instead.
As part of a publicity stunt, he traveled around the world on a 120-day-long, Jules Verne–style trip aboard an ocean liner. In this way, he traveled across America, Europe, and Asia, and all the way back.

The epistemological truth? You never thought that It could happen to you. You do not want to know. You think everyone is on your side until you get to know otherwise. You believe and you do not judge. You believe in building bridges.
Until your wife tells you she is filing for divorce but you have never let her down
Until your boss tells you that he is firing you after you seal that elusive big deal
Until your application for that post is turned down for an unknown and inexperienced person
After giving all your life to the organisation
Until your lover tells you that you have been treating her like …… and she must leave
Untill your workers tell you they want equal shares in the your company without contributing a cent
Untill your friend runs away with your lover
Untill your soldiers mutiny against you
Until all your people revolt and rise against you
You are surprised how much they hate you
After all you have "done" for them.
Surprised because you did not bother to know
All along you thought everything was fine and everyone was happy.
After all you had done to "uplift" them.
The painful truth; the real truth.
You think about every possibility every minute and people say you lack confidence
Guard against the "evil"
Your "enemies?"
Your "slaves"
Your "best" friends shoot at you even when your hands are up
The real epistemological truth.
The pain, the death, the starting point and the realization that you have been a fool all along
because you trusted and loved so much.
Blind faith
Loyalty: but you do not get it back
Why trust others when you do not even trust yourself
You are always changing your mind.
The real epistemological truth

12 Oct Coach to Tapestry
Sending shockwaves, Coach goes to Tapestry
It came as a huge surprise to many across the globe as the well known luxury brand name announced a name change of Coach to Tapestry.
Just as many others, we were shocked. A long-familiar name for luxury purses and accessories is deciding to change its name, but why?
We are now at a defining moment in our corporate reinvention, having evolved from a mono-brand specialty retailer to a true house of emotional, desirable brands. - Coach CEO Victor Luis
The Coach brand, which has lured customers with its luxury line of clothing and accessories for years, has announced that its joining forces with two other well known labels under the parent name Tapestry. The mono-brand purchased the shoe retailer Stuart Weitzman in 2015 for $574 million and Kate Spade for $2.4 billion this past May, making way for what Coach Inc. CEO Victor Luis touts as a new "fashion house of emotional, desirable brands."
What people around the world don't pick up at first glance is that Coach will still produce and sell its namesake brand. The parent company, Coach Inc., will make its official move to Tapestry Inc on October 31, which will house all three brands.
Stock tickers are set to change as well at the end of the month from COH to TPR, so keep a close eye on those stocks as they are sure to fluctuate.
What are your thoughts on the rebranding? Did you hear about it already and gasp while clutching your pearls? 'Cause we sure did. Coach is now becoming a true house of brand that is sure to continue in growth and tradition.

U.S. military action in Syria appears to be coming… But will it work?... Why 2013 isn't 2009… Cuccinelli's defensive TV ad… A key difference between Ted Cruz and Rand Paul: Paul is backing his home-state GOP senator up for re-election in '14, while Cruz isn't… And Nikki Haley officially announces re-election bid.
*** Military action is coming: All the action and body language over the weekend suggests that the United States is preparing for some kind of military response to the suspected chemical weapons attack in Syria. The question is: Just what kind of response will it be? On Saturday, President Obama met with his national security team, and he called British Prime Minister David Cameron. "The two leaders expressed their grave concern about the reported use of chemical weapons by the Syrian regime… The United States and UK stand united in our opposition to the use of chemical weapons," the White House said per a readout of the call. And on Sunday, the president spoke with French President Hollande. (These are the types of calls a president makes to both build support and inform of upcoming plans. Also of note, Secretary of State John Kerry spent the weekend briefing and speaking with a slew of Arab allies, particular the folks in the Gulf States, who could drive an Arab League decision that gives the U.S. the international legal justification it is currently looking for.) Indeed, as NBC's Andrea Mitchell reported on "TODAY," the United States and its allies are considering military options -- most likely, cruise missiles from Navy destroyers and submarines in the Mediterranean or U.S. fighter jets targeting Syrian airfields from where chemical attacks could be launched. "I do think action is going to occur," Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN) said on "TODAY." The question no longer seems to be "if"; rather, it's "when," "how," and "how long."
Khaled Al-Hariri / Reuters
U.N. vehicles transport a team of U.N. chemical weapons experts to the scene of a poison gas attack outside the Syrian capital last week, in Damascus August 26, 2013.
*** Will it work? And here's another question: Will some kind of U.S. response actually work? Eliot Cohen -- who worked in the George W. Bush administration -- argues that it won't in a Washington Post op-ed. "A minority regime fighting for its life, as Bashar al-Assad's is, can weather a couple of dozen big bangs." Yet writing in the Sunday New York Times, Edward Luttwak makes a different point: The U.S. should work to achieve a stalemate in the Syrian civil war. "[I]t would be disastrous if President Bashar al-Assad's regime were to emerge victorious after fully suppressing the rebellion and restoring its control over the entire country… But a rebel victory would also be extremely dangerous for the United States and for many of its allies in Europe and the Middle East. That's because extremist groups, some identified with Al Qaeda, have become the most effective fighting force in Syria." One other thing worth mentioning: The latest Edward Snowden leak -- that the NSA secretly monitored the UN's New York headquarters by hacking into the organization's video conferencing system -- might complicate things with America's allies as it tries to get the world community behind a response to Syria. And we're less than a month from what could be the most contentious gathering of the U.N. General Assembly in a long time.
*** 2013 isn't 2009: With the month of August winding down and with Congress set to return to Washington in two weeks, we can say one thing definitely: This isn't 2009. For one thing, the town halls haven't contained the anger or the drama from those of four years ago. (One reason why: Many members of Congress learned back in 2009 to simply not hold town hall meetings. Another reason: The unemployment rate is going down instead of up.) In 2009, the out-of-power Republican Party was unified in its opposition to the health-care and cap-and-trade legislation. Now? The GOP is divided on whether it should defund the health-care law or even impeach the president, regardless if he has committed high crimes or misdemeanors. And back in 2009, Republican Bob McDonnell was beginning to look like the runaway front-runner in Virginia's gubernatorial contest. This year, the Ken Cuccinelli-vs.-Terry McAuliffe race is looking like a coin flip with Bob McDonnell now a political liability, and last week's Quinnipiac poll showed the Democrat McAuliffe leading by six points among likely voters. This isn't to say that health care's implementation is going to be a breeze, or that Democrats are sitting pretty for the midterms (in fact, the opposite is true), or that Cuccinelli is going to lose. But if you were expecting 2009 -- or 2010 -- all over again in 2013 and 2014, you're probably going to be mistaken.
*** Cuccinelli's defensive TV ad: Speaking of Virginia's gubernatorial race, if you wanted confirmation that the Quinnipiac poll isn't too far off the mark -- and that the ethics cloud hovering over incumbent Bob McDonnell is hurting the GOP and Cuccinelli specifically -- look no further than the very defensive TV ad Cuccinelli released on Friday. "The truth? there's only one candidate under investigation, Terry McAuliffe," the ad goes. "A Democrat commonwealth attorney cleared Cuccinelli of any wrongdoing. Cuccinelli personally launched the investigation into Bob McDonnell, and called for immediate reform to strengthen ethics laws. Those are the facts." Note the veiled shot at McDonnell. As we've observed for most of the summer, Cuccinnelli has run a very disciplined campaign and kept McAuliffe on the defensive. But it's the issue that he can't control that has become a serious liability: McDonnell. It was just four months ago that both Cuccinelli and McAuliffe were fighting over who would be MORE like McDonnell as a governor.
*** One key difference between Ted Cruz and Rand Paul: While Ted Cruz and Rand Paul are on the same page when it comes to most issues, there is one BIG different between the two GOP senators: Paul is supporting his fellow senator up for re-election next year (Mitch McConnell), while Cruz isn't supporting his (John Cornyn). "The reason is simple," Cruz said about his decision not to endorse Cornyn or any other incumbent, per the Washington Post. "I think every elected official, including me, owes it to the people, owes it the grass roots, to go and make the case to the grass roots why he or she is representing their interests." The difference appears to be in the different goals both men may have right now. Rand Paul seems to be intent on trying to take over the GOP and win the internal argument; Ted Cruz seems to be about creating the brand of Ted Cruz and establishing ANTI-party credentials.
*** Obama's day: After Saturday's events on the National Mall and before his own speech on Wednesday to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech, President Obama meets with faith leaders at the White House at 11:30 am ET to discuss the 1963 March on Washington. He also awards the Medal of Honor to Staff Sergeant Ty Carter at 2:10 pm and meets with the 2013 Urban Debate National Tournament champions at 4:15 pm.
*** Haley announces 2014 re-election bid: Lastly, South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley (R) officially announces her re-election today in Greenville, SC at 4:00 pm ET. The Greenville News: "Haley … will be joined by Rick Perry of Texas, Bobby Jindal of Louisiana and Scott Walker of Wisconsin – all considered possible presidential candidates in 2016.U.S. Sen. Tim Scott, whom Haley appointed to replace Jim DeMint after he resigned to lead the Heritage Foundation, will be the emcee." And here's something to consider: Haley is probably the most vulnerable GOP governor up for re-election in 2014 who's not from a swing state or blue state. And it's because of that vulnerability that has us scratching our heads as to why she's surrounding herself with national GOP leaders at her re-election announcement. Is she running for re-election? Or launching a campaign to become national surrogate or a cabinet secretary for the next Republican presidency? Seems like an odd decision to send the message locally that she's focused NATIONALLY.

It's a rare movie to have gathered so much raw power in its actors. I mean – it's hard to deny that Peter O'Toole and Katharine Hepburn are two of the greatest actors of the mid-20th century. Anthony Hopkins became one of the most impressive faces in cimena during the century's second half. Also, Timothy Dalton is okay, I suppose.

text: While working out some of the particulars for "The Birds", his larger and supposedly more frightening follow-up to "Psycho", at the breakfast table with his wife Alma (Imelda Staunton), Alfred Hitchcock (Toby Jones) glimpses a stunning blonde actress named Tippi Hedren (Sienna Miller) on television and immediately arranges to meet her. Soon she is offered the much coveted role and, after refusing his sexual advances, finds herself the victim of his continued cruelty which evolves into a sort of inexplicable masochism when she signs on again to star in "Marnie". Julian Jarrold's TV biopic "The Girl" features some great behind-the-scenes detail regarding the shooting of these latter Hitchcock films, and features a spot-on performance from Jones and an appropriately icy one from Miller. However, the film unnecessarily (and possibly unfairly) demythologizes the great Master of Suspense and, like its subjects, is frigid to its core, detailing a working relationship that demands more thought and introspection than is given in this tepid treatment.

FYI, Issue #010 -- Back To School Already ?
July 24, 2006
July 20, 2006
Issue #010
Presenting education discussion items - For Your Information
Build School Spirit ! After all... It's all about the kids....
| News |
Back To School Already... ? New Tax Breaks May Apply !
Actually many of us are Back To School already... Have you heard about the addition of 4 new states who provide... tax breaks for back to school shoppers ?
You may want to let parents, grandparents, PTA's etc... know about this back to school program in your next school newsletter.
There are currently only 13 states (see below) who offer tax breaks for back to school shoppers. But many of us have colleagues or family in those states who may benefit from this information...
So don't hesitate to pass along FYI. Some of the incentives start as early as this weekend
The tax information firm CCH, reports that all 13 states (identified below) and the District of Columbia offer sales-tax waivers on everything from clothing and shoes to school supplies and computers.
New York, which launched the first-ever back to school program in 1997 and has since offered a sales tax break on certain items year-round, has turned other states onto the concept.
In 2006 four new states were added - Alabama, Maryland, Tennessee and Virginia - and offer their own version of a back to school sales tax holiday.
According to a study by the National Retail Federation, back to school spending by American families is expected to reach $17.6 billion in 2006. And that's up over 30 percent from 2005.
All buyers should be careful to check to make sure their purchases are covered by the tax holiday provisions in their state.
Listed below are the different states offering back to school tax holidays, the dates of the tax break and what items qualify. As of 2006)
Speaking of back to school -
Year-round schooling continues to be controversial in almost every school district. Districts from New York to Los Angeles are experimenting with new calendars and hoping to make positive changes to improve student performance.
Long term, it's hard to know whether the idea will become more popular or less as parents and administrators try to figure out the best solution.
Supporters say year-round systems improve academic performance. They point to Japan, where student scores are higher than those in the U.S. and where students attend classes 220 days a year on average, as opposed to 180 days in America.
But there is still plenty of debate.
So, if you're already back to school... we continue to suggest school themes are a popular way to unify staff and students... And hopefully your theme team is raring to go... that's a winning combination that will help BOOST your school spirit.
Build School Spirit After all... It's all about the kids...

Garden Update!
I do plan to go pick up some more blueberries this week! I hope to get at least 2 more bushels of apples over the next couple weeks to make some more applesauce and apple pie filling. Our schedule is looking pretty busy so I will just have to try to work it all out....Lord willing!
How is your garden harvesting shaping up? What will you change next year? Is there a certain variety of veggie you LOVE to use each year?

Even though the main character in these series is a stong young girl named Andrea, don't let that stop you from getting this series for your boys...I should know I have three of them. My boys LOVE this series! They hang on every word and can't stand it when the chapter ends and they have to wait till the next day to find out what happens next. The Circle C Adventures series is truly a wholesome reading for the entire family. Whether you home school and need more books in your home library, or you want a great read aloud series that you can read a chapter each night to your kids, you won't be disappointed.
I realize it is a bit early to think about Christmas, but I like to start now and buy gifts to stash away for later. You might consider buying the whole set and saving yourself some money! Just a thought! (Just for the record, I am not getting paid to say any of this! I am just simply sharing my thoughts.)
Well I have been a little sparse around here this week. Why? We are in full swing around this house...school has begun for the year! I am super happy to report that our schooling has gone so wonderful the past two days! Shhh..don't say it to loud though...I don't want to set myself up for failure on Friday!
I have been on the fence about what to do with my five year old...to start Kindergarden with him or not....that was the lurking question. I have gone back a forth about a million times. I can list pro's and con's that are about a mile long. After discussion with my hubby...again...we decided to "Just do it". He is ready, he is able, he is willing, so why am I so undecisive? The jury is still out on that one.....So I am officially schooling 3 out of the 4 kids this year. Pray for me....wish me luck...call me crazy...I don't know which one you want to do first. I can honestly tell you I am having a good time and loving it so far (ask me in December and you might get a different answer....smile....).

Ecostore USA Review
A couple of months ago I was contacted by The EcoStore to review products that are made from plant and mineral-based ingredients, and are also free of toxic chemicals. The two products I chose were the Dishwash Liquid (for hand washing dishes) and the Lemon Rinse Aid. These products are made from a concentrate which means you should be able to use less of the product each time and therefore stratching your dollar farther. With that being said, I was ready to try out these products and see if they could really deliver on their promises. I am all for products that are less harmful, more economical, and environmently friendly, but they have to be able to perform as well.
What I liked about the Dishwasher liquid is that is smelled really good, and it wash gentle on my hands (it didn't dry them out). I was dissapointed with the performance of the soap. It did not cut grease well, it did not lather up well, and I found that I needed to add more of this soap than I normally use. So from my experience, I would not recommend this product.
The second product I tested was the Lemon Rinse Aid. We have soft water at our home so we don't always use a rinse aid, but when I am washing lots of plastics I like to have a rinse aid on hand. Again, I loved the smell of this product. I can not honestly say I noticed a difference between when I used the rinse aid and when I didn't.
coconut bar of soap...as a thank you for waiting on my package to arrive since there were some hiccups in the shipping department. The lather was really great, it made our skin feel nice and soft, plus we all loved the smell of coconut! I loved pretending I was somewhere tropical!! So I do recommend the bar soap!
A BIG THANK YOU to The EcoStore for sending me their generous free samples to review, and for being very customer consious in their business details.

Boys & Their Toys!
Well the boys have been talking about it for a couple of months.....mom has been trying to convince them in another direction. The boys have been looking through craigslist and dreaming up which one they want....again mom has been trying to convince them to buy a different "toy".......
I have been considering calling the ER to introduce myself...but I thought might be a little to forward thinking. I'll tell ya what, I never knew being a mommy to three country boys was going to be so stretching to me. I am a mama who likes to be "in control" with lack of a better term. I always have a Plan A then a Plan B....I think this is just another way of learning to cut the apron strings on my boys as they grow up. (Which seem to be happening WAY TO FAST around here these days!)
I hope you all had a great weekend of FUN at you house! I am exciting about cooler temps. here in my neck of the woods...dream weather.....LOVE IT! Happy Monday....

My Field Trip to the Quilt Show
This past Saturday there was a local quilt show that was only about a half hour away from me. My wonderful Hubby said he could keep the kiddos so I was off to have some fun looking and shopping! Here are a few of the gorgeous quilts I saw. I would estimate that the show had a total of around 75 quilts...but I am just guessing.
REMINDER!!! Today at NOON (Indiana time), the layer cake giveaway from THE FAT QUARTER SHOP will end.....hurry and enter now!!
Just a curious question for you all....How many of you quilt or sew that FOLLOW The Gaertegang?

An Apple A Day....
Step ONE: Wash the apples. I just fill my sink to the brim with apples then add water and rinse them.
Step TWO: Grab a nice big pot and fill it a little more than half way with water and bring it to a boil.
Step THREE: Gently put the apples into the pot, put on the lid, and let them boil for about 5-6 minutes. I set my timer for 5 minutes then removed the lid to check on them, most often they needed just a few more seconds to finish up. Also remember the apples in the bottom of your pan will "crack" sooner.
* Depending on the size of your pot the number of apples will vary.....also depending on your stove the "cook time" may vary.
*The main thing to remember:You are shooting for the apples to cook long enough to crack the skin on the apples. This process makes it so the skin just peels right off.
Step FOUR: Remove the apples from the pot and put them into a bowl for cooling. You could use a ladle, or tongs to do this. I went with the tongs option and they worked well.
Step FIVE: This step has a couple ways you can go about it....I will give you both options and then you can decide how you would like to do it.
#1 Quarter the apples and run them through the stainer as is. (This is what I opted to do most of the time...just faster this way.)
#2 Remove the peel on the apples, then quarter them and run them through the strainer. (The peels really just slide of quickly so it really doesn't add much time to the process.) I did this option the 2nd part of the afternoon when Lance came into the kitchen begging to run the strainer for me.
Step SIX: After running the apples through the strainer you can either put them into freezer containers, this is what I chose to do for this round of apples.
You can also put them into jars and pressure can them. I think I will be choosing this option next time because I am literally out of freezer space. I have filled a chest freezer (mostly meat products), and two top freezers! I do not have a pressure cooker, but my mom does. I am sure you could water bath them also without any issues.
Out of ONE bushel of apples I was able to make 12 Quarts of apple sauce, which is so naturally sweet that you don't add any sugar to it! No preservatives, no sugar, no high fructose corn syrup (or any other junk the store bought varieties have)!!! My apples cost me $24 so that makes $2 per quart. I think it is worth the time invested to make it and know that it is good for us too. I have come to use applesauce in about all my baking....If a recipe calls for vegetable oil I substitute applesauce instead.
Next up is apple pie filling, and some more applesauce! I can almost taste that yummy pie filling...Mmmm.
Is there anything that you do differently when making apple sauce? I would love to hear from you! I bought Paula Red apples this time...it was the only apples the gal had at the time. What variety of apples do you prefer?

Not sure how much you will hear from me this week. This mama is feeling really yucky...sinus/allergy stuff going on...double yuck! We are pulling together the last details of redoing our office space, which leads to much re-organizing all of our homeschool materials. We also sold our camper, so we are cleaning that out and getting it ready for a new home this weekend. We signed the boys up for soccer...Good-bye Saturday mornings....
Does anyone else wonder if summer "break" is really a break at all? I think all I have done is complete one project after another...but it is a "break" from the normal happenings I guess. It does feel great to be so productive, but I think I am ready for a REAL "break" for a little while....nice thought in theory, hope I can make it a reality real soon.
While I am trying to feel better and finish things up around here....DON'T FORGET!!! Sign up for the super awesome giveaways I have going on right now...Tell your friends to stop in and enter as well!
Happy Monday!

My NEW TOY!!!
So far I have discovered the Bump app....which enable Justin and I to sync up our calendar stuff....super cool I am still baffeled how that all works!
I think it's super cool that I could download the Textfree app (used to be $5.99, but it's free now) and now text anyone and receive text anywhere that I have a wifi connection.
Okay so this one is kinda nerdy, but I really love The Weather Channel app......I love being able to see the weather hour by hour, 36 hour, or the ten day forcast whenever I want. I never know what the weather is suppose to be since I never watch the news.
My favorite music thing in the whole world is the Pandora app. Internet radio with basically no commericals and a random mix of the artists you like. I love that you can hear all this music for FREE!! (We already have this on our home PC so I knew I would love it.)
The Funny thing is I really like the stuff that is already loaded on my IPod Touch...I love the list maker....FB at my fingertips, my email, Calendar..oh ya.... no more paper calendar! Of course having my music/podcasts with me is so priceless.....no more contact tunes of my husband's pickings and my kids liking....unless I want to listen (insert angelic singing...)
Okay, all this to say I want to hear from you about the "Must Have apps" I have mostly Free apps loaded on my toy at this point. What apps do you have that you would highly recommend?
I would love to hear any and all feedback you have to offer.....or if you have any questions about the Touch...because maybe you have had your eye on one as well!

Pilgram, M. (1999) SLE-Services, a step to standardization in cross support? The Third International Symposium on Reducing the Cost of Spacecraft Ground Systems and Operations, Kung University, Tainan, Taiwan, Republic of China, 22-24 March 1999.
Full text not available from this repository.
Overall costs of a spacecraft mission have to take into account not only satellite costs but also costs of the ground segment. Within the ground segment infrastructure or the operations using this infrastructure. From a ground system view satellite operations that use only one ground station, in the most simple case the user's ground station, will be a cost effective solution. But today more or less all small space agencies need cross support for their satellites, at least in the LEOP phases of their missions. One way of reducing cost in using cross support is to standardize those interfaces. Therefore the space agencies asked their standardization organization (CCSDS) to define services that give the owner of a spacecraft the ability to operate his spacecraft througt different ground stations in a standardized way. This paper summarizes the status of these definitions and the future steps. It shows how the users can benefit from these definitions and demonstrates the cost savings of such an implementation.

Reopening Nottinghamshire Libraries and Archives safely
24th June 2020
We're always looking to improve your experience. Please send us your feedback.
Published 7th September 2016
Inspire's commitment to creating innovative and modern spaces continues with the planned £1m refurbishment of Beeston Library.
Work starts when the library closes at 4pm on Saturday, 1 October and will last for up to nine months. The project will deliver a series of improvements to the building's infrastructure, including:
New roof, windows, ceiling, lights, flooring and heating system.
New shelving and a re-design of public spaces for modern library use.
Reopening of the original main entrance on Foster Avenue.
The creation of a new arts and learning room.
A new IT innovation suite.
Improvements to the meeting areas and exhibition spaces.
Inspire's Chief Executive Officer, Peter Gaw, commented: "At Inspire, we're excited about the development of Beeston Library and the opportunity it gives us to create an inventive, modern space for the people of Beeston – and indeed Nottinghamshire."
During its closure, a temporary library will be set up in the Beeston Youth and Community Centre, West End which will open on Monday 24 October. This will provide a selection of stock, some computer access and the continuation of some events such as the popular Rattle, Rhyme, Roll for children.
The opening hours will be:
9am – 5pm
9am – 7pm
9am – 5pm
9am – 1pm
9am – 5pm
9am – 1pm
Stapleford and Toton Libraries will also benefit from additional opening hours during the closure.
Councillor John Knight – Chairman of Nottinghamshire County Council Culture Committee said 'This is part of our commitment to modernise our libraries across the County to ensure they are fit for purpose and continue to be inspiring centres for reading, learning, culture and community activity for many years to come."
The extensive plans are currently on display in Beeston Library, and residents are invited to offer feedback on the proposed works. Inspire will provide regular updates on the progress of the refurbishment and on the planned reopening date during the refurbishment period.
We'd love you to join us! By becoming a member of Inspire you will be able to have your say on how the society works and develops.

but I ended up only having a enough cream yarn to join this set and...
this set of motifs before I ran out. I had about 10" of cream yarn leftover which was obviously not enough for me to finish my project. Argh. The whole idea behind this project was to use my yarn stash... not to have me dashing out to buy more!
My plan for making a scrappy yarn pillow, edged in cream, may have to wait until I make more of a dent in my yarn stash. Otherwise, I won't have space to store the leftovers I will have from this project. ;o)
Which reminds me... I've got lots of homemade salsa, can anyone bring the chips? I promise I'll share.

It's been a rough few weeks for bitcoin. Last week, Tokyo-based Bitcoin exchange Mt. Gox suddenly imploded due to hackers, taking $460 million with it. Their troubles are not over, as their U.S.-based customers have filed a class action against the bankrupt company and its CEO Mark Karpeles to freeze its U.S.-based assets. An then there's
FlexCoin, the bitcoin bank who yesterday simply shut down after hackers made off with $600,000 worth of Bitcoin. "As Flexcoin does not have the resources, assets, or otherwise to come back from this loss, we are closing our doors immediately," the company said in a statement.
It's daunting to enter the crytocurrency business--on one hand, you have to repel hackers looking to put you out of business on the one hand and a squadron of government regulators threatening lawsuits, fines, and jail time on the other. While I can't help you with the former issue, I thought I'd give a brief primer on the latter. Cryptocurrency occupies an unenviable amorphous legal and regulatory space. I argue that if those laws and regulations can be clarified, however, it will bring the industry a predictability that can stabilize the market and unlock more investment capital.
U.S. Regulations
First, it's helpful to understand that the relevant laws applicable to cryptocurrency are intended to prevent money laundering, terrorism, crime, and tax evasion. Indeed, that's why the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs held a hearing on the issue in November 2013. All this political attention on cryptocurrency, though, is a good thing. The overall tone of those hearings were positive and focused on the need to allow innovation, meaning this could give the cryptocurrency industry the political will to fast-track development and clarification of applicable laws and regulations. (The UAV, or commercial drone industry was not so lucky. Although government acknowledged the innovation aspect, that industry has been largely grounded for the next few years, no excuses. They won't even let you UAV your friend a beer).
In the U.S., cryptocurrency companies have to deal with both state and federal regulators. The laws that apply are a bit of an alphabet soup. Ready? AML, BSA, KYC, MSB, OFAC, SAR. If you have a cryptocurrency startup and none of those sound familiar, I fear for you. And if they do, just keep doing what you're doing. Here are those acronyms decoded:
AML: U.S. Treasury Anti-Money Laundering guidelines
BSA: Bank Secrecy Act
KYC: Know Your Customer (info for AML and sanctions-checking)
MSB: Money Service Business
OFAC: U.S. Treasury Office of Foreign Asset Control
SAR: Suspicious Activity Reporting
The Debate
There are two major camps over the debate on cryptocurrency regulation. On one hand, some believe that government regulation to be in direct conflict with the very principles that cryptocurrency standards for. On the other, those favoring regulation--including venture capital investors--support the development and clarification of the regulatory frameworks surrounding cryptocurrency companies. Overly strict regulations could hamper innovation. However, as in every industry, regulatory clarity allows predictability and transparency. Companies are better able to assess risk, invest in compliance, and make better business decisions.
Some Recent Clarification
On March 18, 2013, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), part of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, issued guidance on virtual currencies to clarify the applicability of the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) to persons (individual, corporation, partnership, etc.), "creating, obtaining, distributing, exchanging, accepting, or transmitting virtual currencies."
The interpretive guidance essentially classified both administrators and exchangers as MSBs, similar to companies such as Western Union. "Administrators" are defined as persons engaged as a business in issuing (putting into circulation) a virtual currency, and who have the authority to redeem (to withdraw from circulation) such virtual currency (e.g. "miners"). "Exchangers" are those engaged as a business in the exchange of virtual currency for real currency, funds, or other virtual currency (e.g. exchange and some wallet companies). IndentityMind does a good job of summarizing the requirements of MSBs:
- Each business that meets the definition of an MSB must register with FinCEN (www.msb.gov).
- MSBs are required to file Suspicious Activity Report (SAR), if knows, suspects, or has reason to suspect that any transaction or activity is suspicious and it involves or aggregates funds or other assets of $2,000 or more ($5,000 or more if identified by issuers from a review of clearance records).
- All MSBs are required to develop and implement a BSA Compliance Program that includes the 4 Pillars of AML: (1) Internal Controls, (2) Training, (3) Compliance Officer, and (4) Independent Testing. Strict customer identification verification and transaction monitoring policies and procedures can be the most effective weapon against money laundering.
- If an MSB provides either cash-in or cash-out transactions of more than $10,000 with the same customer in a day, it must file a Currency Transaction Report (CTR).
Additional, and more detailed information can be found through the following links:
- Bank Secrecy Act Requirements. A Quick Reference Guide for Money Services Businesses.
- Money Laundering Prevention. A Money Services Business Guide.
In addition to federal regulations, 47 states require such businesses to get money-transmitter licenses. The exceptions are Montana, New Mexico, and South Carolina. Cryptocurrency businesses can't simply move to those states or abroad though — they must be registered in every state in which they do business. Unfortunately, the cost of obtaining these licenses in the whole country, excluding bonding requirements, is approximately $7 million to $10 million a year.
Let's Be Realistic Here...
The Verge reports that as of December 2013, only 35 Bitcoin businesses have registered with FinCEN. The U.S. Treasury Department has reportedly reached out to companies it believes needs to register, and state authorities have received numerous inquiries but few registrations. Meanwhile, California and New York are still duking it out as to who will set the regulations that other states will follow. New York has proposed a "bitlicense" regime that may make the money-transmitter license moot in the first place, and California is embroiled in its own internal war over payments innovation. All this is to say that many cryptocurrency companies are in a "wait and see" mode to see how regulations will shake out before they invest too much in actual compliance.
It's clear now from the FinCen guidance that existing regulations governing money laundering and terrorism concerns apply to virtual currency operators. What isn't clear is how much compliance will still allow a derivative startup to feel things out without getting in trouble. Is being somewhat compliant better than zero compliance? There are stories out there in the blogosphere that some cryptocurrency startups that registered with FinCen then ended up hearing from their state regulators. Rather than apply for the expensive money-transmission license, they shuttered their doors.
The reality is that most startups I've worked will avoid having to deal with legal stuff until they absolutely have to--and for good reason. Ninety-something percent of these startups won't make it through the year, so why invest heavily in compliance anyway? Most startups won't even file incorporation papers until an investor asks them to, and the time and effort required for corporate formation is nil as compared with that of financial regulatory compliance. Given the latest news over Mt. Gox and Flexcoin, companies have to decide whether to allocate their limited resources towards security to ward off hackers, or compliance to ward off the government. It's a tough position I don't envy.
Regardless, the amount of investment for compliance is as much a business decision as it is a legal one. Companies may decide to simply wait until they get a warning from the U.S. Treasury Department.
International Approaches to Cryptocurrency
Before yesterday, experts cited three main approaches to regulating cryptocurrencies. First, the outlaw approach, taken by Russia and China, is a complete ban on cryptocurrency, and the innovations that surround it. The friendly approach has been adopted by the U.S. and EU, in which cryptocurrency is encouraged so long as companies follow the rules. The EU is especially cited as Bitcoin-friendly, and Bitcoin businesses have an advantage in the EU, which has a uniform licensing program for money transmitters governed by the Payment Service Directive. It allows a payment provider regulated in one country to expand into another country under its existing regulations and supervision. The South American countries have also tended to lean towards a friendlier approach due to the volatility in their domestic currencies.
Lastly, there's the hands-off approach, as was taken by Japan... until yesterday. In reaction to the Mt. Gox fiasco, Japan announced the taxation and regulation of Bitcoin. Notably, it classifies cryptocurrency as a commodity like gold or silver, and not a currency. Capital gains from trading activities and purchases will be subject to Japan's 8% tax beginning April 1, as are all purchases made in Japanese Yen. Banks will prohibited from dealing with bitcoins, and securities brokers are also not allowed to facilitate bitcoin trades.
For more information, this Coindesk article does a great job of breaking down each country's approach to Bitcoin.
If you have questions about the legal/regulatory angles of Bitcoin/cryptocurrency, I'd love to hear them. You can tweet me at @amyywan.
