Beautiful apple tarts are not hard to make at home. I found this recipe years ago in the LA Times Magazine and pull it out on occasion.
In light of the recent news that Blue Bottle is going to open up at least four sites in LA, let’s celebrate the third wave coffee titan that has already started to take over LA, Portland’s Stumptown Coffee. The Arts District roastery and shop is situated near Bestia and Bread Lounge, forming an emerging power center in LA’s culinary landscape.
People who say they hate LA (who don’t live in LA) usually are basing their biases off two stereotypes: the idiots who are obsessed with Hollywood and the yoga-granola Westside set. Most of us actually live in regular old LA — mini-malls, traffic, apartment buildings, smog. Well, this is a story about one of those other LAs. Gwynneth’s LA. Where size 2 moms drive their Audi SUVs to yoga class and then to pick up their pressed juice for a Goop cleanse.
It’s in this LA that Jeffrey Cerciello, an acolyte of Thomas Keller, has opened FarmShop. In the Brentwood Country Mart, Cerciello has dropped from the heavens a simulacrum of the platonic ideal of the current farm to table ethos. It wasn’t enough to try to recreate the French Laundry (or at least a less fussy version of Keller’s flagship), FarmShop is also a marketplace that is almost a museum of the best providers in California.
Apologies to my ones of readers for the lack of posts lately. I have a little breathing space for a couple weeks, so you should see more douchey comments via this outlet.
I have been meaning to update with posts about some of my favorite places, rather than just places I’ve been to for the first time. Which brings us to Huckleberry, the place I wind up comparing all other pastries in LA to.

Have you ever noticed how in spy movies the secret safe is always behind a picture? This idea is neat and all, but if I am ever a villain in a spy thriller, I am checking behind the pictures first.
Have you ever wondered how else you can conceal your wall safe? Other than putting a conspicuous painting or a portrait of your Grandma Esther over it, how else can you keep your safe hidden?
The back of your closet is a fantastic place to install your safe. It has the natural concealment of clothes over it, meaning your safe will remain out of plain sight. Think about it: when was the last time you saw a burglar pushing aside blouses and brassieres to find a secret safe?
Thieves don’t spend time in the laundry room. Because they are in a rush to get out of your home undetected, they likely won’t take a single step into the messiest room in the house; the room of the dirty clothes and the smelly shoes. Depending on the size of your safe, you could put it behind a cupboard, in a fake breaker box, or possibly even on a shelf in your laundry room.
Burglars go to the rooms where they think valuables are stored. This is not a child’s room, which is why it is the ideal location to hide a wall safe. Plus, children’s rooms often have lots of decorations, thereby creating ample concealment opportunities.
Your garage is full of things. In fact, there is a good chance your garage is a mess. While this can make finding your power tools a chore, the plus side is your garage is full of hiding spots for a safe. Most garages have shelving of some kind and an abundance of places where you can cover a safe. Plus, because a garage is the last place many people think of when it comes to jewelry, documents, and other safe-worthy possessions, you will have the element of surprise on your side.
Don’t leave your valuables at the mercy of intruders and burglars. Invest in a quality safe and enjoy the sense of tranquility that comes from knowing the things that matter most to you are safe and secure. Contact Affordable Lock Services today to learn more about the merits of various safes.

Cruelty to animals is no laughing matter. Recently, students at Colony Middle School were disciplined after their actions led to the death of a moose. The students thought it was a good idea to taunt and tease the animal. The moose was so upset that the moose repeatedly threw itself against a wall until it died. Some may read this article and dismiss it as a childhood prank. The incident really does have a bigger meaning. It shows how far students will go to tease animals or other children for that matter. Children should show empathy for their peers, teachers, and animals. Many animals are defenseless and should be treated with respect and dignity. It is a shame that bullying and teasing led to the death of the Moose. Officials acted properly in disciplining the children.

text: What a difference a week makes! We spent a wonderful 8 days in Minnesota, enjoying family lake time, and came home to a jungle. I’ve been trying so far this year to take a trug out with me every time I go in the garden to just do little weeding touch ups. I didn’t realize how much the day-to-day was helping keep things at bay until I did nothing for over a week. The weeds went nuts! Thankfully, so did the fruits and veggies. I wandered around first thing in the morning collecting berries for breakfast and checking out my work for the day. And then we had an amazing harvest for our first dinner home – with the exception of the noodles and chorizo, everything in the pasta came from our garden.

To end the semester of our labor rights advocating, Little Known Help Zone sold candy grams for May Day that were delivered in people’s mailboxes. The chocolate we sold was fair trade and organic and also benefited endangered animals. We made over $50 that will be donated to ORMUSA, a women’s labor rights organization in El Salvador.
To put together the candygrams, we had an end of the year party to celebrate our accomplishments with some chinese food.
We hope to have more successful fundraisers in the following semesters to continue to contribute to human rights causes in Central America.

Description	 It is a bit more convenient in linesprint when the map is oriented horizontally, as one can generally see farther in that direction. (On console the spaces are taller than they are wide, in tiles your resolution is probably more horizontal than vertical).
Subject: [PATCH] Orient linesprint horizontally only.
On most console and many tiled displays, there is more map room horizontally, so this makes it easier to see the relevant area.
Applied in trunk (0.14-a0-1139-g9c081e9), thanks!
The sprint is now removed. The random orientation was an integral part of the map.
Wut? Removing a good sprint map over fixing an annoying detail is... weird.

If the thought of ordering custom furniture gives you a headache, you might want to reconsider. A few easy strategies can make the process stress-free, and in the end, you’re likely to have a fragment of furniture that truly reflects your style and works with ease taking into consideration the layout of your home.
We checked in taking into account Rob Royer, CEO of Interior Define, a custom furniture startup that offers affordable pieces ranging from highly developed sofas to dining sets, for his summit pointers on choosing the best fragment of furniture for you and your space.
For instance, Interior define has an enlarged truth app that allows customers to view furniture in their home. Shoppers can experiment similar to an array of furniture styles, colors, finishes, and fabrics, which makes it easier to pinpoint the best option for your needs.
Whenever there’s a unintended to order samples of an item of interest, reach so. There’s nothing quite bearing in mind seeing and moving a fragment of fabric in person. “It is important to see samples, particularly of fabric, in your space,” says Royer. He encourages customers to comprehend how they will conscious following the fabric in their home, especially if pets and kids are in the picture. Seeing how a fabric responds to lively and holds taking place to pets or even a wine spill can urge on you determine whether it’s normal for your lifestyle.
Eliminate any disappointment by living thing aware of a brand’s compensation policy and level of customer service. “The reality is things happen,” Royer says. “You might get an item and it’s not to your liking or it doesn’t fit through the admission that you thought you measured perfectly.” Having the marginal to a reward an unwanted fragment of furniture is a major convenience. Just save in mind that most companies will fighting a restocking fee for the returned item.

A pair of Jensen 10″ 4 ohm replacement speakers to repair a classic early ‘60s Epiphone guitar amp and a replacement reverb tank for the same amp.

When everything is in its right place there will be no poor in the world. Because the equitable distribution of wealth is that everyone can benefit from it based on merit. Not that most of the world’s wealth is in the hands of a few people, and most of the people are poor and some of them die because of hunger!
Human rights can be achieved only with justice and we can say that human justice implies respecting human rights, and honoring everybody’s rights. I hope that one day all people feel the sweet scent of justice and there is no injustice in the world anymore.

If you are installing carpet in your business premises or are replacing the current carpet in the building, you may need a little guidance to ensure that you don’t waste any of your hard-earned money. Being aware of the pointers below will mean that you will be better positioned to make the right decision when choosing the right carpet for your premises.
Being mindful of the level of foot traffic is important when choosing a commercial carpet. For example, if your business is open to the public and you expect a large amount of footfall on a daily basis, then you will need a more hard-wearing option, such as a nylon carpet, for your premises. In this instance, a good quality carpet suited to high levels of use will be a wise investment. For lower levels of foot traffic, a polypropylene carpet may be a better choice.
When it comes to choosing a carpet for your business premises, take care to choose a style and colour that works well with your office furniture and décor. There are several types of commercial carpet available such as cut pile carpet, loop carpet or carpet tiles and which style you choose should be given some careful consideration. You should remember that spending that little bit of extra time in choosing the right style of carpet for your business will reflect on your business in a positive way.
The level of maintenance that a carpet will require is another important aspect of choosing a commercial carpet for your business. To prolong its life, a carpet needs to be maintained in the right way and with the right cleaning equipment. Also, remember to ensure that the carpet you choose does not require an inordinate amount of maintenance, as this will quickly become a nuisance to you.
Make sure that you are fully clear as to what you have available in your budget for your commercial carpet purchase. While some commercial carpet can be very expensive, there is cheap carpet available if that’s what you are after. Take the time to shop around and get a price that includes underlay as well as installation.
Once you can appreciate the basics of what you need to consider before you purchase a carpet for your business premises, you are already halfway to the finish line! As with any big purchase, make sure that you deal with a carpet retailer that has a good reputation and who will stand over the quality of their products with an appropriate guarantee.
Once you have purchased a carpet in Sydney for your home, the next thing you need to consider is who is going to fit it. Your two options are to give it a go and fit it yourself or hire a professional carpet fitter. Of course the biggest factor in this decision will most likely be the cost, which is not how it should be. Why? Because there are many pitfalls to laying a carpet by yourself, which is why we recommend that you hire a professional to do the job for you.
When you hire a specialised carpet fitter, they should be qualified to do the job to a particular standard. A professional carpet fitter, especially one recommended to you by a carpet store in Sydney, will make sure that you have an end result that you are completely satisfied with. Even in the unlikely event that you are not completely happy with the service you receive, at least you will have access to a level of recourse, which you would not have if you installed the carpet yourself.
Fitting a carpet is not as simple as it sounds as there is a lot more to it than just cutting to size and laying it out. A professional carpet fitter uses a multitude of specialist tools such as a carpet cutter, knee kicker, carpet stretcher and seam roller, which you may not have access to. If you do have access to these tools, the chances are high that you will not know how to use them properly which could lead to a carpet disaster!
A reputable and reliable carpet fitter will ensure that they work cleanly and tidily. Their work will include the removal and disposal of your old carpet, which is one less thing for you to worry about. Once your new carpet is fitted, all leftover bits of carpet are cleared away and neatly disposed of, leaving you with a perfectly carpeted space that is clean and tidy.
A professional carpet fitter can have a room carpeted in a matter of hours whereas you could spend a day or two trying to get it right. Save yourself the hassle and guarantee an efficient service by hiring a carpet fitter.
Carpeting your home leads to many fantastic benefits such as warmth, comfort and style. Make the most of the impact that your carpet will make on your home by hiring a professional carpet fitter to ensure that it is fitted in the best way possible.
1. What room is the carpet for?
When choosing a carpet, take the room that it will be laid in into consideration. If the carpet is for a room or area that experiences a lot of footfall or traffic, you should opt for a more hardwearing carpet that has a higher percentage of nylon to wool. A softer carpet, with a higher wool percentage, is more suitable to a bedroom or guestroom.
2. What is the quality of the carpet?
A salesperson in a reputable carpet store in Sydney should be able to inform you quickly and easily as to the quality of the carpet that you’re interested in. Alternatively, in most instances, the quality of a carpet will be quite obvious by the texture and thickness of it.
Carpet underlay can greatly enhance the look and appearance of your carpet and can even prolong the duration that it remains functional for. A high quality, padded underlay is a great investment and should always be purchased when choosing a carpet.
4. What are the benefits of this carpet?
Ask your carpeting salesperson as many questions about your chosen carpet as possible so that you can get a good idea of whether it is the right choice for you and your lifestyle. Enquire as to how easy the carpet is to clean, is it hypoallergenic and if there is any warranty available.
5. Can I have a sample?
When choosing carpet, make sure to get a sample of the pieces that you are even slightly considering buying. In this way, you can bring your sample home to see how they fit in with the décor of the room that it’s going in. Not only that, but you can bring the sample of carpet to other carpet stores to ensure that you are getting the best price available.
By answering these questions you can significantly increase your chances of choosing high quality carpet that’s fitting for your home décor, your budget and your personal preferences.
Given the fact that there are so many different options available, choosing the right carpet fibre for your home can be a tough decision. And, if you’re sharing your home with any children or pets, that decision can be made a whole lot more difficult. In order to choose an option that will adequately cater for your own specific needs and requirements, it’s important to know exactly what you want from your new carpet.
Once you hone in on what it is that you need from your carpet, it’s only then that you can actually begin to explore the many different types of carpet materials – some of which include the following.
1. Nylon Carpet: Nylon is a very durable and stain resistant material that is extremely popular among homeowners in the United States, the UK and in Australia. If you’re looking to invest in a nylon carpet for your home it’s worth going to your nearest carpet store and getting a feel for what this type of carpet actually feels and looks like.
2. Polyester Carpets: These types of carpets hold colours very well and won’t fade over time. The fibres in the material are non-allergenic and are, in most cases, eco-friendly as they can be sometimes made from recycled materials including plastic bottles.
3. Polypropylene: What some describe as being very similar to nylon, polypropylene is a very soft fibre. As well as having a luxurious feel, it’s also stain resistant, non-shedding and mildew does not affect it making it an all-round good option for many.
4. Wool Carpets: Primarily seen as a more lavish flooring option, many companies combine this natural fibre with synthetic fibres to make it cheaper to buy and more robust in terms of longevity and performance. When looking for a wool carpet, ensure that you look around and explore your options as prices can vary quite a lot.
5. Carpet Pile: Probably the least popular option of the five that are mentioned in this article, carpet pile can be cut into a variety of different shapes and is a fibre that’s made with yarn and comes with some form of backing material.
As previously mentioned, you need to sit down and determine what it is that you need from your carpet before setting foot into the carpet store. Do you need it to be extremely durable? Will your budget play a deciding factor in your choice of fibre? These are all questions that need to be answered. Hopefully the info that’s outlined above will help you to make a more informed decision when it comes to choosing the right carpet fibre for your needs.
Most homeowners and interior designers will agree that, when it comes to flooring, there is nothing more comforting than a really nice, cushioning carpet. In fact, most would agree that stepping onto a sort luxurious carpet barefoot after being on the go all day is a feeling of utter bliss.
Regardless of if you agree with that or not, there’s no denying that carpet is one of the best flooring options that are available. Completely comforting and very attractive, a carpet that is made and fitted to a high standard can be a standout feature in even the most stylish of homes.
Given the amount of colours and styles to choose from, you’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to buying a carpet in Sydney and beyond. From the basic cost effective options to the more luxurious high-end finishes, there’s a carpet out there that caters to your own specific needs. As well as the price, the following are the top considerations to take into account when buying high quality carpet.
Carpet comes in a number of different styles and textures, some of which include plush, Berber, textured, Saxony, and frieze. As mentioned, each type has its own unique look and texture so it pays to do your research into each of the options that are available to you. When choosing a carpet in Sydney or anywhere else for that matter, consider the room in which the carpet is going. Do you need to cover a large area with carpet? What is the current design of the room? Is there a colour pattern that needs to be adhered to? In order to choose the right style for you, these are all questions that need to be answered before you even step into the carpet store.
Once you know what style of carpet that you’re interested in getting, it is important to find a reputable carpet store in Sydney that is known for their high quality carpets. As well as having a trustworthy reputation, make sure that the store you choose offers warranties on its products as well as extra services such as installation, cleaning and maintenance. Your budget is also something that must be kept in mind and the store you decide to deal with should offer a variety of different styles that are well within your price range.
Choosing good carpeting in Sydney is actually not that difficult when you take all of what has been said above into consideration. As with most big purchases, it pays to research so ensure that you do yours before you even step into the store.

London: Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan received an injury boost on Thursday as tests showed he hasn't suffered serious damage to his left knee.
Gundogan limped off after an hour of City's League Cup win at West Bromwich Albion on Wednesday following a strong challenge from Claudio Yacob.
The Germany international was making his first start since last December after recovering from surgery on his right knee and it was feared he had sustained another major problem.
But Gundogan was examined by City's medical staff on Thursday and no significant damage was revealed.
The problem was diagnosed as a sprain and the 26-year-old could soon be back in action.
"It is too early at this stage to give an exact time-frame on his absence but he is expected to be back on the training field in the coming days," a statement on City's website read.
Gundogan was in good spirits after the fitness update and he tweeted: "Hi all, thank you for all your messages!
"I'm happy to tell you my injury is nothing serious and I hope to be back soon on the pitch!"

I have met many Iranian resistance fighters. I have regularly attended many of their gatherings and meetings in many different European countries, and learnt many things from them.
I believe there is a common denominator between the destiny of the peoples of all Arabic and Islamic countries, and in this path to destiny, one can not ignore the Iranian factor. Without going into too much detail, no scholar could deny that the Arabic and Islamic countries of the region have been influenced by the evolving of the mullahs in Iran in a very negative way. I am certain that the removal of this regime in Iran will reverse this process and will pave the way for democratic changes in many countries of the region.
This year I had the pleasure of participating in a large symposium organized by the Women’s Committee of the rights of women in the National Council of Resistance of Iran on the occasion of International Women’s Day in Paris on March 9. It was attended by many political and cultural figures, leading journalists from France, America, Germany, Spain, Britain and Belgium, as well as parliamentary delegations and activists from Arab and Islamic countries.
Mrs Maryam Rajavi was the main speaker at the seminar, giving a speech that integrated the understanding of the Iranian Resistance and the role of women in the Iranian Resistance.
The next day, I participated in a seminar held in the office of the National Council of Resistance in the northern Paris suburb of Auvers-sur-Oise, where I witnessed the active participation of many Arab women from different sister countries.
Although I am familiar with and support the status and role of women, especially women combatants, in the Iranian Resistance, I also realize that issue of women’s rights in the Arab and Muslim world is closely linked to the struggle of Iranian women for political, cultural and economic equality with their male counterparts.
One can not elaborate on gender equality in the countries of the region without analyzing and understanding the bitter struggle for freedom and democracy fought by the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK), men and women, in Iran for nearly five decades against the Shah and the mullahs’ dictatorships.
I found myself in agreement with senior Western women and Arab women participating in these seminars. We all seemed to agree on the fact that the religious fascism in Iran is the threat and challenge to democracy and human rights in general, and women’s rights in particular.
The reactionary religious regime that has been ruling in Iran for 35 years has had an impact on most Arab and Muslim countries in the region in recent decades. And it is clear that the way to halt this threat and contagious disease is through a movement of Iranian Muslims believing in true Islamic values, a movement that believes in democracy and freedom and is well-rooted in society. A movement that hundreds of thousands its members have been martyred for the cause.
Such a movement, despite the absolute repression it has endured for more than three decades, and continues its struggle and only become stronger, like a phoenix rising from the ashes.
I find it astonishing that we have witnessed the rise of a movement with such noble beliefs in Iran, yet in no other country. This movement possesses all the qualities of a progressive alternative, a real harbinger of the end of the era of darkness and exploitation of religion, and the future of a democratic system that will become a model for all people who suffer as the Iranian people have done for more than three decades.
It is a great regret that we do not find such a phenomenon in any other country but Iran – the movement equipped with the qualities to free our people from the dark forces of authoritarianism, and the wish to control the destiny of others in the name of Islam, while Islam and Islamic principles remain innocent.
The recent changes in Iraq, Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Yemen and what may happen in Syria only underline the importance of the existence of such movement in Iran.
Now, I refer you to the words of a female Syrian activist in one of these seminars, who said that the murder, suppression and human rights abuses being suffered by residents of Camp Liberty are connected to the struggles of people in other Arabic and Islamic countries.
I would also like to refer to the city of Ashraf, which resembles a much more developed society and embodies a model for the community the Iranian Resistance would like to build in the free Iran.
Ashraf is being developed and built to meet the all different aspects of living requirements. The most important feature of this city has been the human relationships that exist within it, which are based on equality and the respect for different faiths, religions and sects.
Women too have a special role in this society, where they have become leaders. The men willingly and voluntarily have accepted such a leadership role. How they have been able free themselves from traditional and absolute male dominance? Achieving such goals has been possible through the leadership of Mrs Maryam Rajavi.
Under her leadership, the Iranian Resistance has been able to score various momentous victories on many different fronts. Such victories include the removal of the PMOI from the Britain, Europe, US and Canada terrorist groups.
Thus we come to understand another mystery – the collaboration of Iranian regime and the Maliki government in attacking Camps Ashraf and Camp Liberty. They both know that the PMOI managed through their own self-sufficiency and humanitarian selflessness to provide a new model of civilized living and thought that could not be tolerated by velayat-e faqih, which was built on the basis of one-man rule and the hostile rejection of the rights of women, especially those seeking to escape exploitation and injustice.
Thus, all Arab and Muslim women’s activists should be able to learn from these lessons and be encouraged in their fight. From the number of women participating in such seminars, symposiums, meetings one feels that the era of the blackout on the PMOI is on the verge of collapse.
There is no doubt that the clerical regime in Iran wants to eliminate PMOI and has had this goal for more than 30 years. This peaked after Iran-Iraq war, when they killed thirty thousand PMOI members within a few weeks. It is our religious and political duty to stand behind this strength and support and not to allow the ruling regimes in Iran and Iraq continue to murder them, so this movement can remain alive and ready for action.

All drivers can benefit from learning about Defensive and Advanced driving techniques regardless of whether they drive a company vehicle. The daily commute can be as dangerous as a business related journey.
This is recognised by many of our clients who run periodic seminars for all office based staff with selective in vehicle driver training e.g. for people who may occasionally drive a pool car or may occasionally travel on business.
One instructor can run up to two seminars per day and the only limitation on numbers is the size of the meeting room.
Seminars typically last around two and a half hours.
Bespoke seminars can be produced to deal with specific training needs. For example a major petro-chemical company relocated 400 staff from central London to Surrey. It was recognised that many people would be commuting by car for the first time and many would be experiencing the M25 for the first time.
All staff attended a two hour seminar covering the principles of Defensive Driving and driving on the M25 using specific course material incorporating the local features of the M25 in the Leatherhead area. Over subsequent days the relocated staff then attended in vehicle sessions on local roads including the motorway network.

The Motorola RAZR has a built-in menu option for wiping the phone clean and resetting it to factory specifications, with all of the default settings it came with out of the box.
Cell phone camera technology is changing rapidly, and manufacturers are starting to bundle higher resolution cameras with their cell phones.
Sanyo’s M1 and Apple’s iPhone both include 2.0-megapixel cameras that take decent quality photos, and Blackberry phones include a built-in flash with their 2.0-megapixel cameras.
More recently the Samsung Flipshot hit the market with a high quality 3.0-megapixel camera; putting it head and shoulders above typical camera phones like the Motorola RAZR V3 with it’s low-end 1.3-megapixel camera.
In fact, most cell phones still come with low resolution 1.3 megapixel VGA cameras that take low quality pictures; just enough to capture the moment, but nothing you’d want to show off in a photography contest.
If you can get your subject to hold still, the picture will turn out sharper and more recognizable. Action shots - especially with the slight delay inherent to digital cameras - will turn out very blurry or bitmapped on a camera phone (that choppy look you get from a low-res camera).
Take your photos outside with plenty of light. Most camera phones don’t come with a flash, which means they’ll use a longer shutter time indoors to capture more light - resulting in an overall blurry picture, since subjects will be moving while the shutter remains open.
Avoid too much bright sun however, since it can create unattractive deep facial shadows if your shot is taken into the sun. A good rule of thumb is to always keep the sun behind you, which will illuminate your subject and get rid of ugly shadows.
Question: How can i transfer my Videos taken/captured on my Cell Phone Sanyo M1 and transfer them to my PC? Your input will be greatly appreciated.
Answer: The Sanyo M1 is a great phone, and you can transfer videos to your PC by using a USB Data Cable that provides a link between your phone and PC, or with Bluetooth that gives you a wireless connection.
You can transfer as many videos, photos or ring tones as you like to your cell phone for free using a USB Data Cable that connects your computer to your cell phone.
Windows XP or Windows Vista don't come with software to recognize your phone and handle the file transfer, so you'll need a copy of DataPilot, which works with all major phone types.
Fire up DataPilot, and plug one end of the usb data cable into your phone and the other end into the usb port on your computer. DataPilot will display a list of the existing photos, ring tones, and videos on your cell phone.
Choose the folder on your PC that contains the files you want to move, select the files (or folders) and click the transfer button to copy them over to your cell phone. You can also copy the other way, and use DataPilot to transfer photos or ring tones from your cell phone to your computer.
You can buy a usb data cable on the DataPilot website if you don't have one already, and their software works with all major phone types.

I’d pay to see this.
Chance the Rapper just revealed that he once witnessed Kanye West in a studio trying to make himself disappear.
Speaking to Teen Vogue for the Vol. 2 Music Issue, Chance spoke about the process of working with Kanye on music — and as you can only imagine, the experience is definitely one to remember. Once, Chance explained, Kanye apparently employed a magician, a producer from The Lego Movie, and “a bunch of coding people” to help the rapper disappear onstage (seemingly for his tour).
“I don’t know if he ever figured that sh*t out!” Chance added. No word yet on who said lucky magician was, but we can only hope Kanye has the illusionist on retainer for future needs — perhaps North and Saint’s birthday parties?
He’s very big on multitasking. We’ll have a studio rented out, and he’ll bounce between rooms working on different songs, writing for a second or adding or subtracting productions. He’ll also put a bunch of people in a room that he thinks might have good ideas and try to see what they come up with.... Twenty-five percent of it is productive ideas flowing and then 75 percent is lectures from Kanye, where he tells you exactly how he views the world — just very straight Kanye honesty that definitely gets your creativity and strong opinions out on the floor.
Kanye has recently all but disappeared from the public spotlight, canceling his tour, deleting his social media accounts, and choosing not to attend the Met Gala. According to TMZ, it might be because the rapper is currently “holed up in a Wyoming retreat” working on more music.

Westminster city council has reported a marked slowdown in big ticket planning applications received so far this year, with major applications subject to planning performance agreements (PPAs) down by 42%.
In an update to members of the city council’s planning and city development committee this week, head of planning John Walker said a combination of factors appeared to be to blame, including developer uncertainty surrounding the UK’s departure from the European Union and the slowdown of central London’s residential market.
While Walker said the total volume of applications received by the council had only dipped by around 5% in the year to date, the biggest fall had been major applications that would be dealt with using so-called PPAs – where officers agree a bespoke timescale with developers. For the largest schemes, the PPA will also require a bespoke fee.

A.M.: I slept all night with the sound of the Indian Ocean blowing on the sea breezes. Breakfast at 8 a.m and an exploration of the beach made for a magical morning. We walked to the lagoon where we were picked up by an outrigger canoe. In the estuary, there were mangroves and mud flats filled with fiddler crabs and mudskippers. Out in the main lagoon were a lot of small fishing boats. The best was when we got out and walked to the edge of the sand flats for absolute low tide. Five little girls followed us the whole way just fooling around, dancing and singing. The pictures are fabulous! Fishermen came in with the morning catch and we got more photos of them sorting the fish. There were shells on the tidal flats and I told the group about Dad and the shelling in Tanzania. We followed sand trails that had beautiful shells at the end of each. I got a couple of keepers and it was time for fresh tuna for lunch. It’s not so bad here at the ends of the Earth.
P.M.: Avenue of the Baobabs in golden light was a sight. There was a lot of foot, ox cart, and bike traffic with the occasional vehicle mixed in, but my favorite shots might be from off the Avenue looking out on “wild” baobabs behind a lake filled with water lilies. Storm clouds blew in late and we lost most of the evenings light until at the end there was a ray of light escaping from under the clouds that turned the avenue red.
The food is so good here. Every meal has something special, but I’m going with rich chocolate ice cream floating in banana custard with slices of bananas as the base. I’m calling it a Madagscar Hot Fudge Banana Boston!

Back in 2014 we started working with a customer in Pennsylvania who had already been renovating his home for 3 years. Bill initially used InSoFast in his basement, but the next important step was the exterior. Motivated by his interest in building science, Bill planned his retrofit thinking, “build tight, ventilate right”.
The exterior retrofit project was extensive. Peeling off layers and layers of ineffective sheathing and decades old siding, the crew’s plan was to install Zip Sheathing, InSoFast EX 2.5 and Hardie Plank Siding. The house would look and feel almost brand new.
We spoke with Bill last week about his project. He gave us an insightful look into the process of renovating a home with smart, yet simple goals in mind.
What’s your professional background? What was your role for this project?
I went to design school and studied architecture and landscape architecture. I’ve worked as a carpenter for about 15 years. I was the designer for this project, but I consulted with engineers and specialists when I needed them. I can run the wiring, manage the drywall, finishing and the painting. I just repaired some flooring this week, so I wear a lot of hats.
But a job of this scale requires more bodies, so I had two different contractors and their crews come to work on the exterior. I oversaw the project, served as “quality control guy,” answered questions as they came up, and with the contractors’ help designed on-the-fly when necessary.
When we did the tear off two summers ago, I already had some experience with InSoFast, since I had used it in the basement of the house. I was already comfortable working with InSoFast and was able to answer questions from the crew during the exterior application.
Why did you choose InSoFast for the basement of the house?
The basement part of the remodel came first. I started studying building science around 7 years ago and got pretty deep into it. When we bought the house I wanted to immediately address problems I had seen in order of importance using my carpentry and remodeling skills.
We had to take care of water problems first. There wasn’t any standing water or visible water leaks, but we had lots of seepage. Our house is built on bedrock and a third of the basement is half-height crawl space. The dirt floor was exposed, so for the first 60 years of this house’s life, there was continuous seepage of moisture through the rock and into the house. Moisture was being drawn up through the house by stack effect.
I tried to address water first, then air, then vapor, then heat. When we considered vapor, InSoFast became the obvious choice for the basement. It was crucial in keeping the block walls warm, so condensation wouldn’t add to the moisture in the basement. If condensation ever forms or water penetrates the block walls, moisture will dry to the inside.
Let’s talk about the project in detail. What’s the story behind the house? Can you explain the retrofit process from start to finish?
The house has pretty much been torn up since day one. We closed on it in July of 2011 and before the end of July I was tearing out the basement remodel from the 1970’s. I had a 30 yard dumpster that was filled by early September.
In the summer of 2014 I hired the first crew to do the demolition, reframing of windows and door openings and installation of sheathing, windows and doors. We took off the aluminum siding from the 70’s and a layer of aluminized paper that was supposed to make some kind of thermal barrier. I can’t imagine that it worked very well. Behind that were cedar clapboards and homasote sheathing that were installed back in 1952. The house was stripped to the bones.
We reframed the window openings since all of the 19 windows and 3 doors were being replaced. Some were more recent double-paned vinyl windows while others were from 1952. The U-Values of windows are now much better than they used to be.
We used 4 x 8 sheets of Zip sheathing with ½ in of foam laminated to the back. Dean from InSoFast thought this step was overkill but my thinking was that it would provide a thermal break so that heat transmitted through the 2×4’s to the outside would be reduced. I also noticed that when installed, the Zip foam compressed against the framing forming a tighter air seal. There were a few awkward weeks in between crews during which we had a dark green-colored house with just the sheathing, building tape and the new windows.
Next the second crew installed the InSoFast, siding and trim. They had never worked with it before. I fabricated exterior jamb extensions and trim units to accommodate the 2 ½ inches of InSoFast depth and to receive the siding. We decided to glue and nail the InSoFast to the sheathing. The crew quickly ran a bead along the InSoFast stud and pressed the panels to the sheathing. Next they gun-nailed stainless steel ring-shanks through the InSoFast studs and completely through the sheathing. We used the same adhesive InSoFast recommends in basements between the InSoFast studs and the face of the sheathing. This seemed to be a pretty bomb-proof fastening method and we are confident it will hold up.
Did you run into any problems during the InSoFast installation?
The installation was a little tricky along the windows, corners and roof rakes where we wanted to use PVC trim (Versatex). Obviously, the PVC needed to be fastened to something. You can only screw or nail into InSoFast at the studs, which hardly ever ended at the corners, so we had to figure out a way to fasten the corners properly. Same with the windows and rakes.
On another note, the house isn’t perfectly plumb, level or square. One corner of our foundation is about 2 1/2 inches higher than the corner diagonally opposite. We ran a laser line around the house and began laying up the material from a chalked line. That meant that we had to do some creative adjusting when it came to the windows and the siding to get the lines to look how they should. But the crew was more concerned with those adjustments than they were with the InSoFast, which they didn’t have to think too much about.
You’ve said it’s important to “build tight, ventilate right.” Can you explain this mentality to our readers?
This is a common phrase used in the building science field. Building tight means ensuring that your house is as dry and airtight as possible. I learned very early on from Joseph Lstiburek (the principal at the Building Science Corporation) that you want to address water problems first, then air, then vapor and then heat. Insulating comes last in order of priority, but not always time. As I mentioned, in our basement, installing InSoFast addressed two problems, both vapor and heat.
Many of the problems I saw as a carpenter, particularly when remodeling houses built in the 70’s or 80’s were the result of inadequate water, air and vapor management. These houses typically had some kind of relatively impermeable vapor sheathing on the outside and then right behind the drywall was sheeted plastic. In between these two layers was the perfect place for moisture to get trapped. Sometimes these inadequacies would get completely out of control, leading to mold growth or severe damage to the structure.
Once the house is ‘built tight’ you have to ensure indoor air quality by “ventilating right”. When your house is drafty you don’t have to worry about this. All of the toxic gases that come out of your carpets and glues and finishes, along with odors from kitchens, bedrooms, and baths find their way to the outside. But once you ‘build tight’ all of that stuff gets locked in. Now that our house is ‘tight’ we have to ventilate mechanically. Old-timers will tell you that houses, ‘have to breathe’ but that doesn’t quite describe our situation today.
The project was completed over a year ago. Has there been a drastic difference in comfort since the retrofit?
This is the second winter with the InSoFast and the new siding. The first winter in the house was a real nail biter since I had ripped out the HVAC and there was no heating in the house at all. I bought oil-filled electric resistance heaters and placed them around the house. The house was drafty and the hardwood floors were way too cold to be comfortable with bare feet. Regardless, we could still heat the house before any improvements with just 35,000 BTU, which was a shock. Our original oil-forced air furnace was rated at 85,000 to 120,000 BTU.
My wife is very sensitive to blasts of hot and cold. Drafts are very unpleasant for her, so we chose radiant heat which builds up over time. Those first couple of winters my wife needed a blanket over her lap when we sat at the dining room table. She doesn’t need a blanket anymore and our daughter is usually barefoot, even in the winter. I can only imagine our energy bill is much lower than the previous owner’s bill.
As the house has gotten progressively tighter and better insulated we can now heat the house very easily. Right now it’s 10° outside with high winds and the wind chill is below zero. It was 68° when I woke and turned the heat up. Within an hour or so it was 72° and we’re holding that on 25,000 BTU. We’re not doing anything sophisticated or scientific, though there’s science behind the materials and techniques used in the remodel. The house is tighter and better insulated.
You’re now an experienced InSoFast-er! Do you have any advice or tips for our readers?
No basement wall is ever plumb or flat. The expanding foam adhesive is definitely the way to go for installing InSoFast in basements. In last month’s newsletter there was an article that featured a woman with uneven rubble stone foundation. The contractor suspended 2×4’s up against the InSoFast so that the expanding foam would push the InSoFast up against them. This process keeps the front line nice and plumb. This is the best way to go. I first saw this method on a This Old House Tom Silva feature. It’s a great technique, even on our block foundation.
The InSoFast insulation goes in very smoothly and quickly. A lot of people use screws to fasten for exterior projects, but glue and nails were very fast and secure. We used fiber cement siding which is extremely heavy stuff. There is no sign of the attachment giving out. The siding doesn’t even rattle. With aluminum siding you hear puckering and pattering but this stuff doesn’t make a sound.

i went to oslo on wednesday night and came home on friday night. that was a little over 48 hours away from my juicer. not good. i could feel my cells crying out for the direct hits of vitamins to which they had grown accustomed in just a few short days. on thursday afternoon, i did manage to find a juice bar where i got a fix, but even that wasn't quite the same as feeding carrots and apples and other yummy things into my own machine. i wonder if they make a portable model that would fit in my suitcase?
other than jonesing for juice, it was a good couple of days in oslo. oslo strikes me as, strangely enough, more city-like than copenhagen. it could remind a bit of glasgow (which i mean as a compliment). there seemed to be more visible diversity on the streets than there is in copenhagen. copenhagen is crawling with "foreigners" too, but they're all swedes. the danes have better shoe fashion than the norwegians tho', i have to give them that.
it's always interesting, going to a new city and learning your way around. i always have a strange feeling that i don't want to learn it too quickly. i want to retain that feeling of anticipation of something new around the next corner. i like it when the city keeps some secrets from me that i can discover later and be surprised by. but it do prefer that the public transportation is easy to figure out, that's one secret i don't want a city to keep. the things i like to discover slowly are restaurants or wonderful shops full of colorful, unusual things, or parks or tucked away cafés serving chai lattes and sandwiches stuffed with brie and peppery rocket leaves.
i always think about how the discovery can happen only once. there is only one first visit to a place. you have only the one chance for the first impression. after that, it's over and it's somewhere you've been. somewhere that you know something about.

This guide explain how to use Git from a developer point of view in order to send patches to the project and the common way to work with it. It's also explained how is the reviewers work in order to integrate patches sent by other developers and push them to the central repository.
This data is going to be used by Git in order to fill author information for each commit. Moreover, in this file each developer can define his own alias for the different Git commands.
Developers will work in a local Git repository and don't have write permissions over central git project repository. Only project reviewers are going to apply patches on central repository.
Once a developer has implemented a software functionality he should create a patch or a list of patches and sent it to project development list (libreplan-devel@lists.sourceforge.net ). In order that patches are reviewed and pushed to central repository.
This will create a local copy of repository, in order to start to work it's recommended to create a new local branch for each functionality, use case, bug, ... using as branch name something related with functionality, use case to implement or bug to fix.
Once you're in the new branch and while you're developing you will do commit for changes done. You can do as many commits you think are needed to implement a functionality or fix a bug, it's better to divide your work in small chunks in order to make easier reviewers life and isolate errors.
It's important to write good quality commit messages in order to make easier the rest of contributors understand what patch does. As general rule commit messages start with a short line which describes the change in a concise way, followed by a blank line and a detailed explanation of the change. It's recommended to use present tense to write messages. Review commit message format conventions in documentation section.
First commit line will be used as commit short description and will be the name of patch file.
In that point you could have conflicts that have to be fixed before sending the patch.
To fix conflicts you need to review conflict files, fix the issue and use add when conflicts are fixed in a file. After that you should continue the rebase with git rebase --continue, if you prefer to stop the operation you can use git rebase --abort.
You can also use --compose which will allow you to write an introduction e-mail for your list of patches.
Then someone will review the patch and if everything goes right the patch will be pushed to central repository. In that moment developer could remove the local branch as it's not needed to keep local changes anymore.
All these examples are taking as example that you work against master remote branch, this mean that you're working with last developments done by all contributors. Sometimes you would like to work with a remote branch for example a stable branch, or a branch for a new feature that is big enough to be done in a separate branch.
Then from local branch (which is the same than the remote one) you will create new branches to fix issues like here but rebasing against libreplan-1.2 instead of master.
In order to apply a patch or patches sent by developers, these patches should be downloaded to filesystem.
The preference is to have patches generated with format-patch and applied with am in order to keep identity of original author.
Once a patch o list of patches is reviewed, even if it was or not applied. Reviewer should reply to mailing list (libreplan-devel@lists.sourceforge.net ) notifying developer about current state.
In order to use this branch see instructions below.

If you need to find some Cat Beds in the East Rand, we can help you.
This is an alternate area that you need to give thought to when selecting your cat’s bed. It is plain to see that the size of the bedding will need to match your four-legged friend correctly, or they may be staring at you with the strangest looks you can think of.
Normally, the 3 main different sizes covered will almost always be small medium and large. Should you have an extremely unusual sized pet animal, you need to feel free to communicate with us to decide if perhaps the bed you are looking at will certainly accommodate the dog. In some instances, we may possibly undertake a tailor-made order for your needs. We are going to have to check that with the manufacturers.
Comfort and ease of the cat bedding.
This is exactly what the family cat beds are all about right? Just in case all these beds were uncomfortable you then definitely might as well have simply just chucked down a carpet for your furry friend.
We understand that all these dog beds (the kinds we carry in stock) are entirely cosy. We would like your canine, kitty or vervet monkey to be very comfortable that they will be very pleased with you – for buying the bed for them – knowing that they may be the owner of the coolest looking, most comfortable bed in the region.

“What are you going to do with your degree?” This one question, asked by well-meaning family members at Thanksgiving dinner and smug strangers over the Internet alike, embodies one of the biggest obstacles to the study of the humanities today: the notion that a college degree’s main purpose should be to serve as a stepping stone to a related career. This question effectively cheapens the bachelor’s degree to a four-year job training program and ignores the power of the academy and its students to act for the public good. Dr. Standish Meacham, who served as a professor of history, department chairman, and dean of the College of Liberal Arts at The University of Texas at Austin in the second half of the 20th century, can be seen as an example of this power as he used his position to advocate for social equality and consciousness in a contentious time of American history.
Meacham came to The University of Texas in 1966, lured by the idea of an “academic frontierland,” a landscape free from the restrictions of the Ivy League. In this frontier, aided by the financial support of University of Texas Chancellor Harry Ransom, Meacham was instrumental in creating an exhibition of the photography of Paul Martin, leading to an enduring interest in the history of the British working class and leftist politics. His academic interest in marginalized people is reflected in his commitment to equity and fairness as an administrator.
Dr. Meacham wanted the academy to look like the community it served. Dr. Meacham was named chair of the History Department in 1970 and he developed the department in the face of challenges from the university administration. He resigned in 1972 in protest of restrictions on faculty influence in university decision making. Returning to the chair in 1984, Meacham oversaw growth in the department once again, including the hiring of three female professors. Satisfied with his work, he stepped down following the 1987-88 academic year. At the urging of several colleagues, Meacham allowed his name to be put in the running for the new Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and assumed the office in 1989. Stepping in to the office of the deanship would open Dr. Meacham to what was the greatest moment of controversy of his already tumultuous academic career.
The university, like many other state schools at the time, was consumed by a battle over the role of higher education in Reagan’s America. Meacham advocated for a more inclusive university. In a set of undated notes, he approached the issue from a practical perspective: one day Anglo-Americans will no longer be the majority demographic in Texas and that “successful society cannot exist… without willingness to welcome change and celebrate human spirit in all its diversity.” He believed that universities had an obligation to make all students feel secure to have true freedom of thought in academia. Taking the argument further, Meacham wrote that the United States had benefited from a multicultural population since its founding. He believed that even though universities had not been multicultural from the beginning, it would be worth the effort to make them so. Meacham believed that universities had an obligation to maintain a community that facilitates “mutual respect” and “guarantees psychic security.” Meacham practiced what he preached and he oversaw the hiring of nine people of color to the College of Liberal Arts faculty. However, not all of Meacham’s efforts met with success.
In 1990, a proposed class in the English department – “E 306: Writing About Difference” – became a political battleground. The course was a writing composition course focusing on matters of racism and sexism, and would have been required for all students. Meacham supported the idea, and allowed the English Department to create a syllabus. Soon, however, news of the proposed change reached the press, and “Writing About Difference” attracted national news coverage. Conservative faculty members claimed that the new syllabus was unnecessary and politicized a required course. Their argument gathered momentum, both on and off campus, as professors and columnists alike attacked the course as propaganda. At the behest of University President William Cunningham, Meacham postponed the implementation of the course for a year. In the end, the course was never taught and Meacham resigned from the deanship soon after, returning to the History Department to teach.
Although “Writing About Difference” was never taught, Dr. Standish Meacham’s support of E 306 was emblematic of his dedication to inclusivity in the university and his commitment to using the university a tool for the public welfare. He wanted a university education to reflect the complex reality of American history, not just an idealized memory. His research on English working class history went hand in hand with his actions as an administrator. In both facets of his academic life, Dr. Meacham was devoted to the building up of marginalized groups. An academic background in the humanities – in History – shaped Dr. Meacham’s view in a way that drove him to make a positive impact at the University of Texas.

A resent study created by BMC Geriatrics was looking for the correlation between Excessive Daytime Sleepiness (EDS) and the amount of falls an elderly person has. EDS is a change in quality and quantity of nocturnal sleep or other underlying conditions, such as obstructive sleep apnea. Falls were defined as an instance ‘when you suddenly find yourself on the ground, without intending to get there, after you were either in a lying, sitting or standing position. 451 men and 367 women ranging from age 60-90 participated in the study.
The Epworth Sleepiness Scale was used to determine if a person had EDS. It is also worth noting that the Epworth scale is a tool used to diagnose sleep apnea sufferers. 13% of the women were diagnosed with EDS and 32% reported at least one fall throughout the testing period. 16% of the men were diagnosed with EDS and 20% reported falls within the testing period. 67% of the participants who reported falls sustained injury. 68.8 % of the injured reported having a bruise, sprain or soft tissue injury while 31.2 reported injury resulting in a fracture.
Once the data had been tabulated, it was evident that over a tenth of the elderly population suffered from EDS and other sleep disorders. Those with EDS were twice as likely to have a fall and 3 times as likely to have a fall resulting in injury. The study also noted men were less likely to report their falls and that the occurrence of falls was much higher than reported.
As we age, so does our risk of developing EDS or other sleep related conditions such as sleep apnea. Sleep apnea heightens risk for falls and many other serious health conditions such as high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke and diabetes.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a sleep disorder defined as the unconscious stoppage of breathing for short periods of time throughout a night’s sleep. With OSA, there is a soft tissue obstruction of the upper airway, which negatively impacts the flow of air.
Pauses in breathing can be just a few seconds to minutes, and occur as little as five to as many as 30 times per hour. OSA is further characterized as a partial reduction (hypopnea) to complete pauses (apnea) in breathing that can last longer than 10 seconds. Depending upon the number of times per hour these episodes are experienced during the course of a night, the severity is classified as mild, moderate or severe.

Does it bother people outside the US that I use a period as a decimal mark? I will accommodate whoever speaks up.
More corner braces were purchased. All braces were the same size to avoid confusion and to standardize parts. The new braces were bought with the intention of mounting a circuit board however the braces were much larger than necessary since they will have a minimal load. Brace size: 1 1/2" x 5/8" (38mm x 16mm).
Do you like how I used light glare to block the brand name?
The cross-members were marked 3" (75mm) from each end on both sides to act as centering lines for the corner braces. This was a mistake since the distance between braces will be used on the circuit board for mounting holes and an accurate distance is important. Instead, the holes should be 6.75" (171.45mm) apart and centered on the midpoint of the cross-member. The hole distance is more important than centering accurately. Corner braces were propped on a thin [3/8" (9.5mm)] piece of plywood so the circuit board would not rest on the back when mounted. The hole locations of the braces were traced and piloted. Each cross-member had four braces installed. The cross-members which had already been screwed into an enclosure were temporarily removed for the brace installation.

Sharing with us more on the above topic is Dr Jeffrey Kasher, Vice President, Eli Lilly and Company, United States. He will be presenting at Pharma Trials World Asia 2012, part of a series of conferences at the 5th Annual BioPharma Asia Convention 2012.
Dr Kasher, Ph.D., was named vice president and chief operating officer, global clinical development for Eli Lilly and Company in February 2007. He received a bachelor of science degree in chemistry from Franklin & Marshall College (Lancaster, Pa), a doctorate in pharmacology from the State University of New York (Syracuse) and a postdoctoral fellowship in physiology at Yale University School of Medicine.
Kasher joined Lilly in 1986 as a senior pharmacologist in the department of drug metabolism and disposition where he made numerous contributions to the discovery and development of projects in the infectious disease therapeutic area. In 1992, he was named manager of pharmaceutical project management. Dr Kasher had operational responsibility for the Zyprexa (olanzapine) heavyweight team from 1995 to 1998, successfully leading the late phase development, global submissions, and launches of the product. In 1998, he was named director of pharmaceutical products, where he helped establish Lilly's product team organization. Dr Kasher moved to Belgium in 2000 as the managing director for the research and development site in Mont Saint-Guibert. Upon his return to Indianapolis in 2003, he served as operations director and then executive director for discovery biology in Lilly Research Labs, leading the transformation of the division into therapeutically-focused drug hunting teams. Most recently, Dr Kasher served as the executive director of the osteoarthritis/rheumatoid arthritis platform team, leading the development of an integrated strategy for a portfolio of novel drug candidates.

Recent "hacks" against Pentagon, Senate and FBI World Wide Web sites have highlighted the importance of protecting computer systems against cyberattacks. Indeed, the digital equivalent of spraying graffiti on agency home pages (and denying citizens access to those sites) is the least of the problems. Critical infrastructures central to our economy and government - including telecommunications, transportation, and banking and finance - depend on networked information systems that are vulnerable to attack.
While there is no doubt that the problem of critical infrastructure protection is real, there is cause for concern that the hype surrounding the issue may lead to infringements on civil liberties. The President's Commission on Critical Infrastructure Protection, which studied the issue in 1997, recommended the establishment of an "early warning and response capability" to protect telecommunications networks against cyberattacks, raising the specter of general monitoring of Internet traffic. Lately, it has been suggested that this software should be shared with the private sector, which would be encouraged to use it to monitor communications systems to detect attacks.
The commission also recommended the adoption of key-recovery encryption, a clear example of how the issue can serve as the vehicle for other agendas because key recovery not only has no value for infrastructure protection but would introduce a new set of vulnerabilities into computer networks. And recently we have seen legislative proposals to keep off the Internet information about the environmental dangers of chemical plants in the name of protecting those facilities against terrorist attacks.
Instead of complaining about the openness of the Internet, the focus of government infrastructure protection efforts should be on building more robust systems in ways that do not erode civil liberties. Perhaps the government and businesses need to rethink their reliance on networked systems for internal operations. And designers of programs need to be sensitive to security implications.
* First, the government should not impose security measures on private systems or compel sharing of information by the private sector. The owners of private-sector infrastructures are in the best position to understand and prioritize this range of threats and what is necessary to mitigate them.
It remains unclear what information flow from industry to the government would be beneficial to promote industry's protection of its own infrastructures.
* Second, neither the government nor the private sector needs any greater authority to monitor communications or the Internet. The Electronic Communications Privacy Act already gives operators of private and government systems wide latitude in monitoring and intercepting communications on their own systems to protect their rights or property.
Perhaps one of the most questionable elements of the government's evolving infrastructure protection program concerns the lead role assigned to the FBI as home of the National Infrastructure Protection Center. Much of the defined purpose of the center is "protective." Yet the FBI is an investigative and counterintelligence agency with potent powers that do not mesh well with the voluntary cooperation of businesses on which the government claims the FBI will rely on to perform its infrastructure protection responsibilities. It would be better, on the grounds of effectiveness and civil liberties, to place elsewhere the infrastructure protection mission and the role of liaison with industry.
We must resist the logic that falsely promises an increase in security in return for a surrender of privacy and other civil liberties. In terms of the private sector, the government's role should be limited and largely advisory. Proposals for increased monitoring of information systems or for more intrusive background investigations of private-sector employees are not required and should be rejected.
