In general bridges operate at the data link layer (Layer 2) of the Open System Interconnection (OSI) reference model. A bridge will filter, forward, or flood an incoming frame based on the Media Access Control (MAC) address of that frame.
Bridging is the default configuration that cable modems get when they come online.
In bridging applications, the Cisco uBR900 series cable access router acts as a transparent bridge for up to 254 devices on the ethernet port when running Cisco IOS® Software Release 12.0.5T1 and later. Earlier versions of Cisco IOS Software support a maximum of three devices on the Ethernet port of the Cisco uBR900 series router.
This configuration was tested with a uBR904 running Cisco IOS Software Release 12.0(7)T and Cisco uBR7223 running Cisco IOS Software Release 12.1(2)T.
Note: The above configuration was obtained after powering up the Cable Modem and achieving online status. There has been no configuration changes since factory defaults . Also note that in older Cisco IOS versions the Cable Interface will show an actual IP address, as opposed to "ip address negotiated."
Note: Certain show commands are supported by the Output Interpreter Tool (registered customers only) , which allows you to view an analysis of show command output.
If the state does not show "online" we need to troubleshoot this. From the Cisco uBR900, you can enter debug cable-modem mac log verbose. For more information on troubleshooting see Troubleshooting uBR Cable Modems Not Coming Online.

Online commentary on GE2020: Are some potentially in breach of the POFMA?
Home > Latest News > Online commentary on GE2020: Are some potentially in breach of the POFMA?
During the recent GE2020, one may have seen certain viral whatsapp messages or posts online with questionable content circulating. Examples of these include anecdotes about the self inking pens, or declarations that there will be a lockdown after elections end. These are all falsehoods that are transmitted through the internet which are regulated by the Protection from Online Falsehoods and Manipulation Act (POFMA).
POFMA centres on statements of fact - statements which a reasonable person seeing, hearing or otherwise perceiving them would consider as representations of fact as defined under section 2 of POFMA. POFMA regulates all statements made through or on the internet, including social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram, as well as those in Whatsapp and Short Message Service (SMS). Senior Minister of State for Law Edwin Tong also added that POFMA will also cover closed or private platforms, for example private Whatsapp chat groups and social media groups.
Pursuant to section 7(1) of POFMA, a person is liable when he/she makes a statement of fact whether in or outside of Singapore, to communicate a statement which that person knows or has reason to believe that it is a false statement of fact, and the communication of that statement in Singapore is likely to:
1. be prejudicial to Singapore's security;
2. be prejudicial to public health, public safety, public tranquillity or public finances;
3. be prejudicial to the friendly relations of Singapore with other countries;
4. influence the outcome of a presidential election, general election, by-election or referendum;
incite feelings of enmity, hatred or ill-will between different groups of persons; or
5. diminish public confidence in the government.
Upon criminal liability being established, individuals may be fined up to S$50,000 and/or a term of imprisonment up to 5 years. However, the penalty is harsher for non-individuals such as online media platforms. In the case of non-individuals, a fine of up to $S500,000 will be imposed.
In instances where a fake online account or bot is used to spread such falsehoods, offenders who are found liable may be fined up to S$100,000 and/or a term of imprisonment up to 10 years. As for non-individuals, a fine up to S$1 million may be imposed.
Ministers can also give out "stop communication directions" or "correction directions" ordering the falsehood to be removed or corrected. They may also issue directions to internet service providers and online platforms to issue corrections or halt access to the false statement.
Further, even though one may not be aware that the statement they shared is a falsehood, they may still be issued orders to correct or remove such statements. Although, they will not be criminally liable under POFMA for sharing such falsehoods, non-compliance with correction or stop communication directions will attract criminal liability as well.
Although no one was prosecuted for those viral messages, POFMA was indeed used during GE2020. In response to comments made by SDP's Prof Paul Tambyah at an NUSS forum, the Manpower and Health ministries issued POFMA correction notices to The Online Citizen Asia, New Naratif, Channel News Asia and the National University of Singapore Society.
At the forum, Prof Tambyah was quoted to have made statements to the effect that MOM sent out circulars, without consulting public health medical professionals, discouraging employers from sending their workers for COVID-19 testing. MOM and MOH clarified that these allegations were false, and that the multi-ministry taskforce in charge of the COVID-19 crisis actively consults the medical professionals in their ranks.
Thus the news outlets and entities which published Prof Tambyah's false statements online were issued correction orders to amend their posts. This is despite these entities not being the original authors of the statements (the statements being quotes).
Therefore, to avoid contravening POFMA, it is of utmost importance to self-review any statement of fact, gained personally or through third parties, before posting it on or through the internet. This is especially important during elections period, since statements may easily be seen to be potentially affecting Singapore's security, public health, safety or induce feelings of enmity, hatred or ill-will between different groups, or any other consequences stated in section 7 of the POFMA.
However, the POFMA is not intended to cover opinions, criticisms, satire or parody. Therefore, it would be good practice to state clearly if your statement contains your own opinion.

Phil Collins unveils 7 new sculptures at the Alamo
Phil Collins...just hangin out at The Alamo....UNVEILING SCULPTURES. WTF? This is cool, and random, and REALLY AWESOME.
Phil Collins has a well known affection for The Alamo, and he's even donated his own collection of artifacts to the city of Texas. He was in San Antonio on Monday unveiling 7 new sculptures at The Alamo.
Check out the full story below via ABC local KSAT
Collins' affection for the Alamo is well-known. Four years ago, Collins gave his incredible collection of Alamo artifacts to the people of Texas.The new bronze sculptures were commissioned by sculptor George Nelson and are located at the front of the Alamo. "They add visual representations of what the Alamo looked like at different periods in its history because it has changed substantially over time," said Bryan Preston, Texas General Land Office. "Second thing they do is kind of a neat side part. Visually impaired people now can come to the Alamo and for the first time they can use their tactile senses to feel what the Alamo looks like."Collins' artifact collection will be displayed in a museum planned to be built across from the Alamo. It's part of the Alamo master plan to enhance Alamo Plaza.

Hypselospinus is een plantenetend geslacht van ornithischische dinosauriërs, behorend tot de groep van de Euornithopoda, dat tijdens het vroege Krijt leefde in het gebied van het huidige Engeland. De typesoort is Hypselospinus fittoni.

In 1889 benoemde Richard Lydekker een fossiel, holotype BMNH R1635, gevonden in de Shornden Quarry bij Shornden, East Sussex, in zandsteenlagen van de Wadhurst Clay-formatie, die stammen uit het onderste Valanginien, ongeveer 140 miljoen jaar oud, als een nieuwe soort van Iguanodon: Iguanodon fittoni. De soortaanduiding eert William Henry Fitton. Het holotype bestaat uit eigenlijk uit vier aparte specimina, BMNH R 1635a-d: een linkerdarmbeen, een sacrum, staartwervels en een partij losse tanden. Of de tanden werkelijk tot dezelfde vorm behoren is onzeker. Daarna zijn ook andere fragmentarische resten aan I. fittoni toegewezen maar de identiteit kan niet bewezen worden. Hetzelfde geldt voor een aantal vondsten uit Spanje.

Later werd de ook door Lydekker in 1889 op basis van specimina BMNH R1148, 1629, 1632 en 1632a benoemde Iguanodon hollingtoniensis uit de Hollington Quarry aan I. fittoni gelijkgesteld. Deze resten missen echter onderscheidende kenmerken. Ze omvatten wervels, een dijbeen en een zeer robuuste bovenarm. In 2012 benoemde Gregory S. Paul hiervoor het aparte geslacht Huxleysaurus.

Op het eind van de twintigste eeuw concludeerden verschillende onderzoekers dat I. fittoni niet bijzonder nauw aan Iguanodon bernissartensis verwant was. Gregory S. Paul meende dat het wegens de schamelheid van het materiaal een nomen dubium was. In 2010 benoemde David Norman echter een eigen geslacht: Hypselospinus. De naam is afgeleid van het Klassiek Griekse hypselos, "hoog" en het Latijnse spina, "doorn", een verwijzing naar de hoge doornuitsteeksels op de wervels. Eerder was door hem de naam "Hypsispinus" overwogen en in verschillende lezingen vermeld. Norman wees ook een half meter lang stuk onderkaak, BMNH R1831, aan de soort toe. Volgens Gregory S. Paul is die toewijzing echter niet correct en laat een negentiende-eeuwse lithografie, gemaakt voordat het fossiel door de omzetting van de pyrietcomponent in het bot beschadigd zou raken, zien dat het bij dit been om een heel andere en meer basale soort gaat die hij in 2012 benoemde als Darwinsaurus evolutionis. In 2014 bevestigde Norman zijn toewijzing en wees nog meer materiaal toe.

In 2010 verscheen iets later een artikel van Kenneth Carpenter en Yusuke Ishida, waarvan het publicatieproces al te ver gevorderd was ten tijde van het verschijnen van het artikel van Norman om er nog veranderingen in aan te brengen. Hierin gaven ook zij een nieuwe naam: Wadhurstia, naar de Wadhurst Clay. Deze naam is dus een ongeldig jonger objectief synoniem.

Hypselospinus is een middelgrote tweevoetige planteneter. De lengte is geschat op zo'n zes meter.

De doornuitsteeksels zijn lang, nauw en rechtopstaand. Het darmbeen is erg hoog en kort met een hol buitenoppervlak. Het voorblad is lang en spits toelopend, heeft geen middenrichel en buigt bovenaan ook niet naar buiten. De normale deuk in de bovenrand bevindt zich iets achter het heupgewricht. Het achterblad is achteraan plots afgeschuind en heeft binnenin een groot uitsteeksel als aanhechting voor een staartspier, de Musculus caudofemoralis brevis. Het aanhangsel voor het zitbeen is aan de basis zijwaarts verdikt.

De toegewezen onderkaak heeft achteraan een hoog coronoïde uitsteeksel dat door een betere hefboomwerking de bijtkracht vergroot, een afgeleid kenmerk.

Volgens Norman bevindt Hypselospinus zich op een vrij afgeleide positie in de Styracosterna, hoger in de stamboom dan de in dezelfde lagen gevonden Barilium. Het zou zelfs een basale hadrosauroïde geweest kunnen zijn. Hypselospinus is lichter gebouwd dan zijn verwant.

Retired Parsippany police captain said there was 'a vendetta' against him
Peggy Wright
Morristown Daily Record
MORRISTOWN — Retired Capt. James Carifi testified that "a vendetta" against him for reporting misconduct in the Parsippany Police Department deprived him of lucrative overtime chances and earned him harsh treatment.
Testifying before a Morris County jury on Thursday for a second day at the trial on his "whistleblower" lawsuit against the department, township and former Police Chief Michael Peckerman, Carifi said he was treated more harshly than another superior officer when they both were subjected to internal affairs probes.
He said, in his testimony, he also did not receive the salary and vehicle he anticipated a month after his appointment to acting captain because of the "vendetta."
Between September 2009 and 2011, Carifi said, he reported to superiors that 13 laptops delegated to officers were missing, and that animal control officers were trying to "double dip" by submitting requests for both overtime and comp time for the same shifts worked.
Carifi said he reported a subordinate for trying to be paid for attending a training class while on a leave of absence, and that he was especially concerned when the department tried in 2011 to hire a person convicted of larceny - a relative of a Parsippany council member - to work as a school crossing guard. Carifi told the jury that he informed then-Deputy Chief Anthony DeZenzo and then-Capt. Paul Philipps about the applicant guard's background but was met with silence, initially.
"He wanted to know what my issue was with the crossing guard," Carifi said of DeZenzo. "Basically I was told to leave it alone." He said he stressed to DeZenzo that township policy says any applicant with a conviction shall not be eligible for a crossing guard position.
"He said that some of our police officers have more in their files," Carifi said, under questioning by his attorney, Christopher Deininger.
His lawsuit charges the township violated the state's Conscientious Employee Protection Act, also known as the whistleblower law, by retaliating against him for reporting wrongdoing. Carifi, who was named an acting captain in August 2010 and officially promoted soon afterward, also is suing for being wrongfully bypassed for promotion to deputy police chief in 2011. He retired in April 2013 at a salary of about $145,000, and now receives a pension of about $108,800 annually, according to records.
He told the jury he believes Peckerman and his immediate supervisor in 2009, Capt. Ed Jasiecki, had "a vendetta" against him. On his first day of testimony, Carifi stated he repeatedly asked to take a necessary test to be considered for deputy police chief but his "request was deliberately, in my opinion, deliberately ignored."
EARLIER STORY:Retired Parsippany captain says he was 'lone voice' in reporting police force misdeeds
PARSIPPANY:Two men hurt in Route 80 crash remain hospitalized
Carifi on Wednesday had told jurors that he unexpectedly was told on Sept. 3, 2009, by Peckerman and Jasiecki that he was the subject of an internal affairs investigation because of his alleged violations of a policy on off-duty traffic control jobs for private contractors. Carifi accused both Peckerman and Philips of dragging out the investigation and making him sweat and believe he was under criminal investigation long after the Morris County Prosecutor's Office reviewed the allegation, determined it wasn't criminal, and returned it to the department for administrative handling.
Carifi said he was stripped of responsibilities - but not his lieutenant's title and pay - in 2009 until the probe ended with a "not sustained" finding in 2010. He told jurors that he was treated far differently than his superior - Capt. Jasiecki - who was discovered in 2010 to be trying to send disparaging messages to the media about Carifi.
Carifi testified that Jasiecki was never stripped of duties or transferred to another unit, and never served a 15-day suspension imposed after an internal affairs probe found that punishment was warranted for his conduct.
"I was transferred out of my unit at the onset of the investigation," Carifi said.
While Carifi said he routinely was subjected to internal affairs investigations, the township has countered his claims by saying they all were found to be not substantiated or he was outright exonerated. He also was promoted to captain in the midst of claiming he was being retaliated against, Thomas Hanrahan, the township's attorney has said.
One IA investigation into Carifi, but also referred to as an Equal Employment Opportunity Commission complaint investigation, was instituted against him in 2010 because of conflicts he had with two subordinate officers he supervised. While the outcome of the probe was favorable to him, Carifi said he was told in October 2010 that he had to attend mediation to resolve the issues.
Carifi said he was prevented from going to a lucrative overtime detail on National Night Out in the 2009-2011 time frame and that when he was assigned to be acting captain in August 2010, he wasn't given a captain's pay and a vehicle as policy called for after 30 days in the position. He said he wrote Peckerman a memo about the breach and asked whether he would be assigned a vehicle.
"No, just flat out no," Carifi said he was told. He said he ultimately received a car and the requisite captain's pay when the position became official.
The trial will continue next week before Superior Court Judge Maryann Nergaard in Morristown, with the township's attorney cross-examining Carifi on his claims.

Patron Membership are corporations, associations, organisations or Societies, whether legally incorporated or not, which have, in the opinion of the SAIMC Council, objectives allied to, or of benefit to, the Society's objective and whose membership of the Society would appropriately recognise the contribution of such body to the industry, and be beneficial to the Society, in the opinion of the Council.
The management of a Patron Member organisation nominates a person who shall preferably be a Member of the Society to represent their interests at meetings of the Society and who shall act as their correspondent with the Society.
Recognition of companies who are committed to the advancement of theory and practice in the fields of automation, instrumentation, measurement and control.
Recognition of companies who have significantly invested in their personnel in the area of automation, instrumentation, measurement and control.
Encouraging recruitment to the industry. Every company making use of this technology would like to ensure that they obtain the services of the best our country has to offer. These resources need to be "mined" and the SAIMC has embarked on a program that will ensure that the younger generation will be introduced into the field of automation, instrumentation, measurement and control to the benefit of every employer.
Enhancing the stature and status of members and patrons.The SAIMC has embarked on a program in which patron members will receive annual recognition for their role within the field of automation, instrumentation, measurement and control as indicated above.
Ensuring that adequate standards of education and appropriate curricula are available at secondary and tertiary levels of education, and promoting mentorship programs. After companies have employed personnel in the field of automation, instrumentation, measurement and control it is important that these employees are educated in all the different technologies, standards and applications within this field. The SAMIC plays a major role in educating these personnel to the benefit of every patron member.
The Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA) has, together with the worldwide body of registered professionals in this area, developed a mechanism in which professionals may participate in the continuous development of their professionals. The SAIMC is one of the Voluntary Associations that evaluate and grade the material. As a Patron member of the SAIMC, your company is entitled to a 30% reduction in evaluation fees. This direct monetary benefit alone more than covers the cost of becoming and remaining a Patron member of the SAIMC.
Providing a communication forum for the regular exchange of ideas, applications and technologies between members. This platform often creates an environment for the employees of Patron members that are more productive than formal training sessions with members who share their knowledge across vendors.
Disseminating and communicating relevant information to the members and stakeholders in a controlled and co-coordinated manner. In order to ensure that the employees of Patron members are always kept up to date with the latest technology as well as up to date with current as and past technology, the SAIMC has created a couple of platforms to distribute this information including a web site, newsletters and a communication forum on LinkedIn.
To develop and improve, through effective means, the necessary terminology and standards in measurement and control theory and technology. Patron members need to ensure that their companies apply the correct technology and standard for their business. The SAIMC covers this and creates as well as participates in platforms in which these terminologies and standards are developed.

june 15, 2007: mr. libby's "emergency" motion for stay of sentencing order
Posted on June 15, 2007 by condor | Leave a comment
or, "let's get specific, shall we?"
call me a wonk, but i woke up this
morning wondering what the d.c.
circuit court of appeals court handbook
might have to say about mr. libby's chances
of being granted an "emergency" motion of
any sort — during the regularly-planned
summer recess in that court in d.c., and
yet still before his report-date — now
perhaps only about four to six weeks off. . .
so — what the hey! — i went and actually
read some of it. . . ooh, fascinating stuff!
not.so.much. — unless, of course, one is
keenly-interested in guessing at what's
next for mr. libby, and for lawrence s. robbin's
now very-likely scrubbed
summer-vacation plans.
well — let's start on page 33 — with
sections VIII b., and c.
but allow me to note at the outset, that mr. libby's motion will not fall among the enumerated kinds of statutory emergency appeal motions in section III j. of the handbook (as he seeks a post-conviction
release, not a pre-trial release — a monumental
difference in terms of the presumptions involved),
for which there are easy, ready-made answers — no,
he and mr. robbins are relegated to the general
rules of sections VIII b., and c.:
B. MOTIONS TO EXPEDITE CONSIDERATION
OF THE APPEAL
(See 28 U.S.C. § 1657; D.C. Cir. Rules 27(f), 47.2.)
The Court accords expedited consideration to a case when required to do so by statute, or when the Court grants a motion for expedition. Circuit Rule 47.2(a) lists many of those statutory provisions that mandate expedited appellate review:
18 U.S.C. §§ 3145, 3731; 28 U.S.C. chapter 153; and 28 U.S.C. § 1826. See supra Part III.J. Whenever a party takes an appeal pursuant to one of these provisions, counsel must advise the Clerk's Office of this Court immediately both orally and by letter. The district court Clerk will transmit the notice of appeal and certified docket entries forthwith to this Court, so that the appeal can be docketed and an expedited briefing and argument schedule set. Counsel must advise the Clerk of this Court in writing of counsel's arrangements to order any necessary portions of the transcript on an expedited basis, and make arrangements with the district court Clerk to send the record promptly to this Court.
When expedition is not required by statute, counsel seeking expedited review must file a motion. Like other procedural motions, motions to expedite must be filed within 30 days of the date the case is docketed.
Because of the size of the Court's caseload, and the calendaring of cases months in advance of hearing, the Court grants expedited consideration very rarely. The movant must demonstrate that the delay will cause irreparable injury and that the decision under review is subject to substantial challenge. The Court also may expedite cases in which the public generally, or in which persons not before the Court, have an unusual interest in prompt disposition. The reasons must be strongly compelling.
When the Court disposes of a motion for stay or injunction pending appeal, it may at the same time expedite the case to minimize possible harm to the parties or the public. In moving for a stay or injunction pending appeal, counsel should address the appropriateness of expediting the appeal if a stay is entered.
An order granting expedition does not automatically shorten the briefing schedule. When time is a critical consideration, counsel may wish to propose a specific date for the hearing and to move for an abbreviated briefing schedule. . .
C. MOTIONS FOR RELEASE PENDING APPEAL
(See 18 U.S.C. § 3143; Fed. R. App. P. 9(b); D.C. Cir. Rule 9(b).)
A defendant who has filed a notice of appeal from a criminal conviction may apply for release while the appeal is pending. The defendant must apply first to the district court for release. If the district court denies the application, or imposes conditions of release, the defendant may then move this Court for release or for modification of the conditions. A new notice of appeal is not necessary. Circuit Rule 9 sets forth the required contents of this motion. The motion may not exceed 20 pages without leave of the Court, it must be prepared in conformity with Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 27(d)(1) and (2), and it must be served on opposing counsel. Staff attorneys give priority to motions for release pending appeal and send them to the special panel for disposition as soon as a recommendation is prepared.
The criteria for release are specified by statute and rule. See Fed. R. App. P. 9. The burden is on the defendant to show that he or she will not flee or pose a danger to others if released, and that the appeal is not for purposes of delay and raises a substantial question of law or fact likely to result in reversal or an order for a new trial.
If this Court denies the motion for release, the defendant may seek Supreme Court review by submitting an application for release on conditions to the Circuit Justice for the District of Columbia Circuit, who is the Chief Justice of the United States. Counsel must file the application with the Clerk of the Supreme Court and serve the opposing party pursuant to Rule 29 of the Rules of the Supreme Court. Such motions are rarely granted.
now, let's look at the timing, and
calendars, on briefs — section IX a.1.:
Normally, the Clerk's Office establishes a briefing schedule after the case has been screened and classified by the Legal Division, and after any pending motions in the case have been resolved. In most cases designated as "Regular Merits" cases, counsel receive a single order fixing the date for oral argument and setting the briefing dates back from the oral argument date, with the final brief usually due at least 50 days before the case is to be heard.
In general, the appellee's or respondent's brief is due 30 days after that of the appellant or petitioner.
A reply brief, is due 14 days later. To avoid repetition of factual statements or legal arguments made in the principal briefs, the Clerk's Office will stagger the briefing so that intervenors and amici curiae file their briefs 15 days after the brief of the party they support. . .
though mr. robbins has yet to file any appellate
papers on behalf of mr. libby — and thus, we
don't really know much, yet — the
likely upshot of all of this is that it is
almost impossible for scooter to avoid jail-time.
now to be fair, the briefing schedule,
especially the "final brief due at
least 50 days before the matter is
heard. . ." — a provision to give
the appellate panel time to reflect
carefully upon the briefs — will be
abreviated, if mr. robbins is granted
an expedited review. . . but the scant
number of business days on the calendar
between now, and mr. libby's report date
would seem to infer that even a rarely-granted
"expedited review" will occur too
late, for mr. libby to avoid some prison-time. . .
mr. robbins could surprise, by taking some
truly odd-ball path through this maze, but
it seems likely, even on the tightest of
time-frames outlined above, mr. libby's
report date will precede any order for
his release, by at least a few weeks. . .
more — as more information becomes available. . .

Douglas Coupland is a Canadian author who is credited with popularising the terms 'Generation X: Tales for an Accelerated Culture' and 'McJob' in his 1991 novel, Generation X. He grew up in a Canadian military family and went on to study science at university before finally studying art at the Emily Carr University of Art and Design, then at the Design Institute in Italy and the Hokkaido College of Art and Design in Japan.
He became a writer 'accidentally' when a skin condition forced him to leave Tokyo. A friend's husband offered him a writing position at a magazine and Coupland took up the work to pay his bills. In 1991, after two years of living in the Mojave Desert, Coupland published Generation X. The novel struck a chord and became a genuine phenomenon.
Since then he continues to write novels and even returned to his original roots in visual design. He currently lives with his partner in West Vancouver, Canada.

Comment: Rodrigo Duterte risks losing support
Comment: Duterte risks losing support if he gets too close to Trump
Writing for The Conversation, Maddy Thompson suggests president of the Philippines, Rodrigo Duterte, could alienate his supporters if he abandons his anti-American stance.
Maddy Thompson, Newcastle University
The president of the Philippines, Rodrigo Duterte, has become one of the world's most notorious politicians. He revels in being referred to by nicknames such as "Duterte Harry", "The Punisher", and "The Trump of the East". Outspoken and populist, he is best known for his unrelenting and violent war on drugs. But outsiders are confounded by his election and continuing popularity.
As an anti-establishment figure and political outsider, he is frequently compared to Donald Trump. But Duterte has not sparked the division associated with his American counterpart. Despite an undoubtedly abrasive character, his popularity stretches far and wide. Some of his most fervent supporters are middle-class, highly educated, urban Filipinos. He does not represent the views of the most dispossessed, nor the most marginalised.
Instead, Duterte represents an ever-present brand of Philippine anti-colonialism. In the years immediately preceding Duterte's election, I identified a huge growth in anti-colonial and anti-American sentiments expressed in the mainstream media.
These contemporary anti-colonial sentiments have a long and powerful history. The Spanish colonised the Philippines from 1521, and during the mid-18th century, resistance spread, leading to the first claim of independence in 1898. In the same year however, the US purchased the Philippines from the Spanish.
The US was invested in "developing" the Philippines and creating an alliance, due to its geographical position as a stepping stone to China. (Indeed, the Philippines' strategic position is the primary reason the US continues to take an interest in the country.) American forms of political, legal, and educational institutions were implemented, and English was taught.

Subsequent improvements in health care and education were evident, particularly for the middle classes – which led many to accept American control. Protection offered during the World War II occupation of Manila by the Japanese, further cemented the US's position as saviour and ally.
The Philippines was formally granted independence in 1946, yet remained closely tied to the US, which maintained a large military base there. The US is also one of the major aid donors to the Philippines and has been a primary destination for permanent Filipino migrants.

But after the fall of Ferdinand Marcos in 1986, dissent towards the Americans – which had sponsored the dictator's regime and ultimately gave him protection – grew. This led to the closure of the military base in 1991. While ruling administrations of the late 1990s supported US influence due to perceived economic and political benefits, anti-American and anti-colonial sentiment did not wane among the educated middle classes – those most negatively affected by Marcos and his martial law, corruption and imprisonment of detractors.
Duterte's predecessor, Benigno Aquino III, took significant steps to rebuild the US-Philippine alliance. The Enhanced Defence Cooperation Agreement, signed in 2014, grants the US military an extended stay in the Philippines. The following year, an agreement was made allowing the US to revive a deep-water naval base in Subic Bay, in the face of increasing hostility from China.
The Aquino administration attempted to justify the move by highlighting the significance of the US's market size and the strategic threat of China. But anti-colonialists were against a renewed US military presence, believing it threatened the independence of the Philippines.
For it was actually the Aquino administration and the political elite who were perceived as more of a threat than China. Anti-colonial voices were concerned about corruption plaguing all levels of administration following revelations in late 2013 of a scam which implicated more than 100 members of the Philippine government (across party lines) over the alleged misuse of £140m of public funds.
The Philippine political elite was perceived as behaving just like the American colonisers – exploiting the populace for personal gain.
Duterte, on the other hand, despite his long career, was considered to be outside this traditional political elite. Not only was he free from accusations of corruption, he decided to make naming and shaming corrupt politicians one of his keystone policies. On top of this, he long espoused anti-colonial and anti-American ideals. His campaign promised to build a more cooperative relationship with China and neighbouring countries. He is thought by many to place the Philippines before his personal interests.
Politics is a Duterte business
Considered against the backdrop of deep anti-American and anti-colonial sentiment in the Philippines under Aquino's administration, Duterte's election was almost inevitable. His success is different to that of other populist movements and – aside from the language and machismo – comparisons with Trump do not stand. The political experience of the Philippines is not that of the West.
Despite countless human rights abuses, Duterte retains high levels of support. He remains committed to naming and shaming politicians involved in the drugs trade. But if he does not stick to his anti-colonial promises and end the American military presence, he will risk alienating a significant proportion of his support.
Since Trump entered the White House, Duterte's anti-American stance has waned significantly. He has reneged on certain promises and has openly praised Trump. For his part, Trump is one of the only Western leaders to support Duterte's war on drugs. It could be the beginning of an unexpectedly close relationship. But it would be one that risks losing the popular support that put Duterte in power in the first place.

In Furious 7, Jason Stratham plays Shaw, a black ops, covert super spy who is out for revenge after Dom's (played by Vin Diesel) crew put his little brother in the hospital on their last Fast & Furious romp through the country of England.
Shaw is hell bent on killing the entire team. He proves it by beginning with Han (Sung Kang) in Tokyo, and making plans to knock off the rest of Dom's family one by one.
The movie starts off with a bang — literally — as Shaw delivers a package to Dom's front porch in L.A. with a bomb that blows up his home and endangers everyone he cares about. So, Diesel and the entire crew saddle up to settle the score with the bad guy.
That's about the entire plot you need to know. The rest of the movie is filled with car chases, explosions and action stunts that are out of this world.
The movie will leave you breathless and on the edge of your seat. The stunts in Furious 7 easily out rank anything you've seen in any previous Fast & Furious movie.
There is also the sentimental theme of the movie that we are all aware of before the movie begins: The tragic passing of Paul Walker.
Furious 7 has a few tender moments that tear at your heart when you think about the fact that the actor died in a tragic car crash in real life. There are also some bonus scenes of Walker at the end of the movie (so, don't get up and leave too early).
Furious 7 is also shot in some exotic locations, like Abu Dhabi and Japan, and features lots of exotic fast cars, some smoking hot beautiful women and, of course, the testosterone-fueled cast is all back, also including Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Tyrese Gibson and Chris "Ludacris" Bridges.
The movie is rated PG-13 for scenes of intense violence, mayhem, and strong language. It is a non-stop, action packed thriller that keeps your attention for the entire 137 minutes of the film.
Furious 7 is a fitting final tribute to a beloved actor and it'll make even the strongest man in the audience shed a tear or two to his memory.
On my Hollywood popcorn scale, Furious 7 is a jumbo.


The 21st century is characterized by an enhanced technological development and more so in the field of Information technology. This advancement has promoted the business arena greatly by facilitating the establishment of electronic businesses. E- Business, often referred as e-commerce, is any business activity that involves sharing of information over the internet (Beynon-Davies, 2004).
E-business uses the following three models for its operation: B2B, B2C or C2C (Timmers, (2000). The first involves any business trading that involves two business entities. The second one is when a consumer buys goods or services from a businessman/woman for consumption.
Lastly, we have C2C that occurs when various consumers are brought together to buy; for instance in an E-bay (Timmers, 2000). E-commerce has boosted businesses significantly by enabling many companies extend their operations from national levels to trade globally, thereby enhancing their performances in a great manner in terms of the profits they realize.
E-business has enhanced the efficiency of current business transactions. In some cases, buying of goods and services involves just the click of the mouse. Most of the e-businesses prefer the use of electronic payments as their mode of payment. Some of options they have as their payment preferences include; wire transfer, PayPal, Credit Card ,E gold and others (Beynon-Davies, 2004).
E-business has also led to the computerization of almost all the processes in these organizations. For example, the human resource departments of these companies are computerized so that they can comply with the high demand that accompanies such businesses. The human resource departments of these companies conduct their recruitments online.
They generally store the testimonials of their preferred applicant in a common database from where they make their choices when they require hiring some personnel (Beynon-Davies, 2004). Their task becomes very easy since they only have to sort the testimonials of their preferred candidates electronically from these databases.
The human resource department can also conduct their training online for both the newly recruited and the other employees that need to upgrade their skills. Similarly, the accounting, marketing and procurement departments employ the same concept, while conducting their day-to-day activities (Beynon-Davies, 2004). The e-commerce is very sensitive and is commonly venerable to both internal and external security threats such as hackers or malicious damage of companies files by some employees (Beynon-Davies, 2004).
Internal and external network security threats occurs in three forms which include reconnaissance attach, access attack and lastly the denial of service attack. The first attack entails the hacker's effort to determine the nature of one's network. It involves identifying the hardware and software used as well as the topology adapted.
This basic information is very important as it gives the hacker the direction on how to proceed. Reconnaissance attack occurs in various types such as scanning or Eavesdropping. Scanning attacks are executed to assist the attacker determine whether the computers in the network have IP addresses (Westfall, 2010).
An access attack is an attempt to access the files' passwords using password cracking programs. Hackers achieve this by cracking the passwords through eavesdropping whereby they are able to establish the passwords from the packets that have clear-text passwords. Similarly, a hacker can access the network by capitalizing on the weaknesses of the operating system used. Once inside the network, the hacker maximizes this opportunity to break into other networks, erase files or change the coding of some programs (Fickes, 2000).
The internal attacks are executed by those that have authorized access. Most of these are some employees that may have some hidden agenda that they are willing to accomplish. Their missions may include illegally accessing the human resource files to order their testimonials when they are planning to acquire unaccredited promotions or increase in their salaries.
Similarly, it may include accessing the records in the accounting department and altering their content maybe to reflect higher pay. This can easily happen to those networks that are not well secured. It happens when a network that hosts various departments does not have good restrictions on the files that should be accessed by all the users and those that should be accessed by only a few (Fickes, 2000).
To avoid such an attack, the network administrator should share only those files that are not sensitive to the operations of the company. Such files include the company policies, training manuals and such documents. The sharing of such files can be realized by the network administrator establishing a common folder in the server that is sharing it with all the workstations in the computer network and not those files which are very sensitive to the daily operations of the company.
Files that highlight the company's strategies and accounting performances should not be shared, but their access should be restricted to a few personnel. Their security can be enhanced by reinforcing their security further through encryption and assigning them a password (Fickes, 2000). Encryption will ensure that their contents are not hacked when these files are being relayed from one point to the other.
For instance, when the accounting department is sending the accounting performances to the head office, no one can be able to intercept these files through eavesdropping. This is because encryption encodes these files such that if unauthorized person comes across such files they cannot be able to use them unless they contain the required decoding program (Fickes, 2000).
The use of password prevents any unauthorized user who may accidentally access the server not be in a position to access the contents of such files unless that person posses the required password (Fickes, 2000). The network administrator should advice the employees to use very strong passwords to secure their sensitive information or secure their machines so that to minimize malicious attacks within the company.
They should strengthen their passwords by avoiding passwords such as their names, name of palaces. Instead they should use password that contains more than 6 characters and those that are not easy to guess. The network administrator should also assign every employee his/her own workstation which should always be secured with their password whenever not in use and that password should not be disclosed to anybody.
The external attacks occur when unauthorized access or tries to access a given network. This may be an individual with a hidden agenda or a business rival that is employing unethical techniques to compete. Some of the common external attack that exists includes denial of service attack; this is a security threat whereby attackers delay or deny legal traffic or user access a specific resource. The attacker can achieve this by overpower such a resource with a lot of ICMP packets (Westfall, 2010).
This type of attack is mostly associated with the corporate world. Some companies interfere with the performances of other organizations through this type of attack to reduce the quality of their services so that to enable them gain a competitive advantage over them (Westfall, 2010).
The attack can only affect a specific program or can make all the machines fail. To avoid such an attack, the network administrator should ensure that the network is installed with filtering solutions such as firewall like Cisco IOS routers or IPEX. Intrusion-Detection System is another strategy that can be used to avoid external attacks.
The IDS detects the reconnaissance attacks and alert the users of any looming attack. Cisco has various tools that the administrator can adapt in the network to detect such attacks so that to act accordingly in good time (Westfall, 2010).
Virus, worms and Trojan attacks; these are the most common external attack that exhibits any given network. A virus is considered as any program that is installed and runs in a computer without one's knowledge (Fickes, 2000). Most often these viruses replicate and distribute their damages to other places within the network.
Worms replicated within a network with an intension of using all the systems resource or crashing it altogether. A Trojan horse is a software that is loaded in a computer within a network and awaits the user to activate it so that to initiate its damage (Fickes, 2000). They disguise themselves as antivirus, but instead of removing them they increase them. They can be avoided through user training, proper use of antivirus programs and use of application-verification program.
The human resource department can play a pivotal role in helping to control both the internal and external attacks in any given network. The human resource department should liaise with the network administrator and come up with policies that will guide the employees when running their day-to-day activities so that to uphold the security of the network.
The human resource department while training the newly recruited workforce should educate them on safe use of information system. They should advice them not to install any program in their computers and to consult the system administrator when confronted with any technical issue. They should also be educated on how to select the password they should use to secure their systems. They should ensure that they use passwords that have both letters and numbers and avoid writing them on their desks.
The human resource department and the system administrator should advice the concerned individuals to ensure that they encrypt their sensitive information such as credit cards information, passwords and sometimes even the usernames, company trade secrets and sensitive information and individual personal details such as address, telephone number, social security numbers and so on (Fickes, 2000).
This will help the network to avoid security attacks and especially due to eavesdropping. The employees should be informed not to disclose any information that can compromise the security of the network maybe as a response to a telephone call. This will help to avoid an attack as a result of social engineering.
If the highlighted issues are taken into consideration, both the internal and external network attacks will be a resolved issue. The company will be able to better protect its strategic business information, property rights as well as trade secrets.

THE shape of housing development in Middlesbrough over the coming years is set out in a new document.
The Middlesbrough Housing Strategy 2017-2020 has now been formally adopted by Middlesbrough Council following consultation with the public.
The focus is on investment in new and existing homes and neighbourhoods, and helping to drive and support economic growth.
The Housing Strategy also forms a key strand of the Mayor's 2025 Vision of a town where people want to live, with fair access to high quality homes for all.
Key issues raised during the consultation period included welfare reform and assessment of housing needs, green field versus brown field development, infrastructure, environmental considerations and the links between poor housing quality and health.
Welcoming the Housing Strategy, Councillor Lewis Young, Middlesbrough Council's Executive Member for Economic Development and Infrastructure, said: "Our overarching aim is to ensure Middlesbrough continues to grow and prosper.
"The borough is the beating heart of the Tees Valley city region, and its success will boost the fortunes of the area as a whole.
"A key strand of our approach is a housing offer that meets the diverse needs and aspirations of all our communities, and contributes to people living healthier and happier lives.
"The current Government is building for decline, but here in Middlesbrough our ambition is to build for the future, to grow our Council Tax base and strengthen our financial position.
"That's why the biggest house-building programme in our history is at the heart of our ambitious Investment Prospectus which is already attracting the new businesses, entrepreneurs and investment needed for job creation and long-term prosperity.
A final version of the Middlesbrough Housing Strategy 2017-20 will be published on the Council's website in due course.


To help us lead, it is useful to know of the different styles of leadership available to us.
It is often said that there are six styles of leadership or six ways of leading people. Is this a leadership model that fits your business or organization and its goals?

Daughter Who Battled Breast Cancer Honors Beloved Mother
Family, Self
By Macy Daniela Martin — Written on Jun 06, 2014
In January, with her husband by her side, Avery Harrison received the shattering news that she had stage four breast cancer. She immediately called her mother, Lynne Hendrix, to deliver the news.
Lynn served as a constant support system throughout her daughter's treatment — she held her hand, asked the doctors questions that Avery says she would have never thought to ask and devoted herself to helping out around the house and tending to their two-year-old daughter, Corrine. Lynn showed her daughter endless, unconditional love.
Avery, 38, wrote an email to TODAY, which she read aloud on in a taped segment that aired this past May. "My mom became my angel, my strength," she read. "She's there without question, just handles everything — laundry, cleaning, cooking, babysitting — allowing me time to rest and recover. I don't think any words could be enough to tell my mom how great she is. Thank you Mom. I love you to the moon and back."
Little did her mom know, she was being honored as a part of TODAY's "Mom's the World" week (a week of special surprises for deserving mothers). But that wasn't the only surprise Avery had in store for her amazing mom.
"Mom I just wanted to share with you my recent test results," she said live on TODAY, "The doctor has said that my cancer is gone. My test results are normal and I did have my last chemo this week, so I'm done."
"Praise the lord," said Lynn. "We give everything to the Lord. We've had prayers going up worldwide, and everybody's been praying."
Avery told TODAY's Willie Geist that her mom's positivity helped her to heal faster. Lynn is just "very proud that I've been able to support her in this" and that Avery's loving words are "very special."
Because Avery's birthday is on Friday, her mom had a little surprise for her too: a stack of notecards recording each day since Avery's diagnosis "so you can go back and remember little bits of joy."
Are you crying yet?

TODAY showered both women with gifts. Geist handed them tickets to see "Mamma Mia" (fitting, don't ya think?) along with dinner in Manhattan. Natalie Morales and Al Roker gave them white, fluffy robes. Why? Because they, as they found out live on TODAY, will be flying to the Cayman Islands for a spa vacation!
"Are you serious right now?" Avery asked Geist, shocked. "I love you, Mom," she said as she hugged Lynn.

Pankhuri Awasthy's Dum laga ke haisha moment with Yukti Kapoor on the sets of Sony SAB's Maddam Sir
Pankhuri Awasthy's dhamakedar entry with Karishma Singh amidst a fire sequence has already garnered immense appreciation from the fans.
Sony SAB's Maddam Sir has amassed a tremendous fan following for its light-hearted, value-driven, and thought-provoking storyline. The viewers have poured in their love and appreciation for the four heroic female police officers - SHO Haseena Malik (Gulki Joshi), Karishma Singh (Yukti Kapoor), Santosh (Bhavika Sharma) and Pushpa (Sonali Naik) fighting the lawbreakers with their out-of-the-box solutions. Now, the Mahila Police Thana is set to become even stronger with the entry of an Artificial Intelligence Officer, Mira (Pankhuri Awasthy) who is about to shake things up with her distinctive ways. Taking the excitement notches higher, her dhamakedar entry with Karishma Singh amidst a fire sequence has already garnered immense appreciation from the fans.
Yukti Kapoor and Pankhuri Awasthy spilled the beans about their experience of shooting. Here's what they said:
Pankhuri Awasthy, essaying the role of Artificial Intelligence Officer Mira, said, "The experience of shooting my first ever scene on the sets of Maddam Sir was nothing less than an adventurous ride. I have always loved action scenes, and during my first sequence, I had to save sub-inspector Karishma Singh and a child from a building caught in fire and carry them on my shoulders which seemed like a challenge to accomplish. The plan was to use a dummy instead, but I thought why not give it a try? I did the stunt by myself, picked up a kid on one shoulder and Yukti on the other, it was like being possessed with super-strength, like a superhero moment for me, much like what my character MIRA is about. Although wouldn't have been possible without all my co actors being very very supportive and uplifting. The sequence sure gave me an adrenalin rush and was extremely exciting as I had never done something like that on television or in real life before. The audience has loved the scene, and their appreciation makes our efforts so worthwhile."
Yukti Kapoor, essaying the role of sub-inspector Karishma Singh, said, "I was thanking my stars when I was briefed about the fire scene as I was getting an opportunity to do something I haven't tried before. The show is taking an exciting turn with the entry of the AI Mira. The viewers will love the upcoming episodes, and the dynamic between Karishma and Mira will keep them hooked from the word go. My character is quite outspoken and already feels uncomfortable with the idea of a highly efficient robot joining the team as it might threaten our jobs. So, the viewers will get to witness amusing banters between Karishma and Mira, an over expressive human and a robot whose arguments will surely add newer elements to the show."

Joined the group because it seems more active in meets than 350z-uk. Had my Z just over a year and loving it. The summer just gone I won a competition for a quite a few car parts, so now it's modded I'm ready to get it on some club stands this summer. Is there anyone on here from Yorkshire? Looking forward to meeting some fellow petrolheads. Cheers!
Welcome mate. Your wheels really suit the car (what are they?) and the wing sets it all off very nicely. Got any more photos?
Yes, the club has quite a few meets, workshop days and events organised for this year. Sign up for as many as you wish. We'd love to see you and your motor. We're a friendly, welcoming bunch, with a collective Z enthusiasm/knowledge that goes back several years. Additionally, we're a bit laid-back and not too hectic. That, in a nutshell, is why I love this place. Hope you like it too.
Edit ...I see you chose the fastest colour.
Your Z looks epic in that pic! I'm a fan of the rear spoiler too.
Welcome Jbiggz, love the Zed and the pic.
As others have said, I really do like your wheels. If you were thinking of selling them my address has the Y-word in it.
Although I suspect may be a fair distance from you as I don't recognise the car park - are you North, South, East or West Yorks? I suspect from the picture North or West. I'm a weirdo from the East.
Welcome. Great looking car. Love the Wheels - is that a Nismo Wing?
Thanks everyone for the warm welcome, appreciate the feedback on the car too. The wheels are TSW Nurburgring's, TSW was the main sponsor of the competition and I had my pick of the full range.
The spoiler is a cheap fleabay one, looks like a replica of the nismo wing, just doesn't have the vertical support in the centre as the nismo does.
I'm based in Wakefield, west Yorkshire and that car park is the Askham Bar York park & ride.
You WON your wheels? ...or am I misunderstanding you? How did you do it?
I think "the competition" is an alternative club. But I could be wrong.
Sorry for not giving any details it was a competition run by LK performance a company based in Cleckheaton. It was sponsored by TSW primarily but also included bc racing coilovers, hardrace suspension upgrades, K&N induction kit, yokohama tyres, paintkillers vinyl wrappers, and Meguiar's. A fair bit haha. Got the car back this week from the wrappers, got a few wrapping details done to the car. The meguiar's part included a day at their HQ learning how to properly detail a car using their products. Am I allowed to post links? There's a few bits of promo footage for it all around the Web.
Yeah, let's see it then!
I'll watch the whole thing properly tomorrow.
That was a lucky guess on my part (from West Yorks and pictured in North Yorks). That must be the new Askham Bar car park then - I used to use the old one at Tesco many years ago, but there are a few a bit further round the A64 that are more convenient - but I did pass it the other day on my way to the Tesco filling station, although I wasn't in the Zed, but I did fill up with Momentum. I will keep my eyes and ears open for you in future though.
Welcome from me. Really nice looking car!
Wow again! What have you had wrapped? ...just started to watch the Meguiars vid.
Here are some photos of what's been wrapped now it's finally clean. All wrapped gloss black: roof, B pillars, rear diffuser and front bumper. Keeping it subtle alongside the grey.

What the appeals court ruling means for O'Bannon's ongoing NCAA lawsuit
In Ed O'Bannon's lawsuit against the NCAA, an appeals court upheld much of an earlier ruling that the NCAA is violating antitrust laws.
Amateurism in college sports may be on life support, but it's not dead yet.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit on Wednesday affirmed Ed O'Bannon's central thesis that certain NCAA amateurism rules violate federal antitrust law. The court, however, limited the scope of O'Bannon's victory by holding that member schools only need to provide up to the cost of attendance to their student athletes. Consequently, an injunction devised by U.S. District Court Judge Claudia Wilken in 2014 that would have required member schools to pay Division I football and men's basketball players up to $5,000 a year for name, image and likeness rights ("NIL rights") has been scrapped.
Writing for a three-judge panel, Judge Jay Bybee expressed concern that "offering [student-athletes] cash sums untethered to educational expenses"—such as $5,000 a year for NIL rights—would transform NCAA sports into 'minor league status.'" Advocates for college sports reform who contend that student-athletes should receive greater compensation will likely greet Judge Bybee's worry with hostility. They have insisted that a system where student-athletes do not receive compensation for NIL rights is exploitative, particularly in an era where the NCAA and top conferences negotiate billion-dollar TV contracts and where college coaches earn millions of dollars a year to coach student-athletes. For these advocates, the cost of attendance—which is already in the process of being provided to student-athletes—is much less than what ought to be paid.
Is the era of abusive college coaches finally coming to an end?
The $5,000 figure was vulnerable on appeal likely because Judge Wilken never fully explained why the NCAA and its members colluding to cap NIL rights at $0 is unlawful, but their colluding to cap NIL rights at $5,000—or any fixed amount not determined by a competitive market—would be lawful. The three-judge panel on the Ninth Circuit appeared perplexed by this and, as noted above, the panel was uncomfortable with the idea of linking "cash sums" that are unrelated to education to compensation for student-athletes.
While the NCAA and its members are pleased that they will not need to fund trusts for student-athletes' NIL rights, they are equally displeased by other parts of Judge Bybee's opinion. Most significantly, he affirmed the core of Judge Wilken's reasoning that the NCAA has been violating Section 1 of the Sherman Act for years. Indeed, Judge Bybee agreed with Judge Wilken that NCAA amateurism rules unlawfully prevent member schools and conferences from competing to compensate Division I men's basketball and football players. He also rejected the NCAA's use of a 1984 Supreme Court decision (NCAA v. Board of Regents) to assert that challenges to amateurism rules must fail as a matter of law. As Judge Bybee stressed, NCAA rules are clearly subject to the same antitrust scrutiny as are rules adopted in other industries. This language is a setback for the NCAA since it makes the NCAA more vulnerable to antitrust lawsuits, including those brought by other student-athletes.
At various points in his 63-page opinion, Judge Bybee also identified how NCAA rules have injured student-athletes. For instance, in regards to players appearing in video games, he wrote, "the plaintiffs have shown that they are injured in fact as a result of the NCAA's rules having foreclosed the market for their NILs in video games." Further, in a separate 15-page partial concurrence and partial dissent, Judge Sidney Thomas opined that, given the NCAA's problematic application of amateurism rules, Judge Wilken's $5,000 plan would have been an appropriate remedy.
AP file
Next steps: the appeal
The process for O'Bannon's lawsuit is far from over. A final and conclusive outcome might be over a year away, leaving college athletes and college administrators in a continued state of uncertainty.
As explained above, both the NCAA and O'Bannon have reasons to dislike today's ruling. Both can appeal it. The first type of appeal would likely be for an en banc review by 11 of the 29 judges who serve on the Ninth Circuit. En banc hearings are rare and courts almost always reject petitions by for them. One study, in fact, finds that in the Ninth Circuit less than 1/7th of one percent (.14%) of the court's docket consists of en banc appeals.
If an en banc appeal doesn't prove successful, the NCAA and/or O'Bannon could then petition the U.S. Supreme Court. The odds are extremely low that the Supreme Court would take the case. The Supreme Court only grants cert to approximately one percent of petitions and routinely declines to review cases that attract national media attention and seem important. The methodology typically used by the Supreme Court in selecting cases also disfavors the O'Bannon case getting to that level. The Supreme Court regularly declines to hear a legal controversy until there is a so-called "split" between federal circuits on a matter of federal law. Put another way, if the Ninth Circuit had ruled for the NCAA but a different federal appeals circuit in a similar case had ruled against the NCAA, that would have created a split. Only the Supreme Court (or perhaps Congress through a new law) could resolve such a split. Issues raised in the O'Bannon case are relatively novel, however, and not directly addressed by courts in other federal circuits. No circuit split therefore exists.

Other factors, however, suggest there is a real possibility the Supreme Court reviews O'Bannon v. NCAA. While the Supreme Court rarely reviews a case, when that case is from the Ninth Circuit it has higher odds of being picked by the Court and higher odds of a reversal than do cases from other federal appeals circuits. Last year, Attorney Stephen Wermiel of SCOTUSblogrevealed the key data:
[Supreme Court] Justices have long had a seemingly contentious relationship with the Ninth Circuit, which covers most of the western United States and Hawaii and Alaska. Far more cases come to the Court from the Ninth Circuit than any other court, and—not surprisingly—Ninth Circuit rulings make up a sizeable portion of the docket of argued and decided cases—75 cases, or 25.7% for the last four Terms including the current session. During that period, the Court has reversed or vacated and sent back 79.5% of the Ninth Circuit decisions it has reviewed.
Another appellate factor in favor of the NCAA is that Supreme Court Justices may be moved to hear the dispute given that it impacts thousands of colleges and students. The O'Bannon case may be from California, but its practical impact is national. This factor could help to persuade the Justices to hear the case.
Lastly, both the NCAA and O'Bannon can stress that the O'Bannon case raises unique applications of antitrust law that deserve attention from the national's highest court. Should antitrust law—an area of law designed to promote competition in the economy—be used to reshape sports played by college students? Clearly many, including federal judges at the district court and appellate levels, believe it should, but a more conservative Supreme Court could view it otherwise.
Don't forget the Jenkins case
The NCAA's legal challenges are not limited to the O'Bannon case. Shawne Alston, Martin Jenkins and several other current and former players have sued the NCAA, arguing that the cap on athletic scholarships to tuition, room, board, books and fees is a violation of antitrust law. Without a cap, universities would purportedly be pressured to pay student-athletes market value scholarships. Star recruits might then command scholarships that approach or exceed seven figures. This potential game-changing litigation, which will be heard in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California (the same federal district court that heard O'Bannon v. NCAA), will be worth following closely.
It should also be noted that Jeffrey Kessler and David Greenspan—the lead attorneys for Tom Brady in his recent victory over the NFL—are representing Jenkins and several other players. Other leading sports attorneys, including Jon King and Steve Berman, have represented Alston, among others. These attorneys are now poised to use Judge Bybee's opinion to assert more persuasively that NCAA amateurism rules related to athletic scholarships violate antitrust law.
