Panel of Experts Discusses Ways to Help Law Enforcement Tracy Kitten (FraudBlogger) • September 19, 2016 15 Minutes

How qualified is law enforcement to investigate today's cybercrimes? While many big-city police departments have all the necessary skills, those in smaller markets often do not, according to a panel of experts.
That's why companies that have been attacked must provide as much technical and forensic information as possible to authorities to help ensure that investigations lead to arrests and prosecutions.
In an audio interview with Information Security Media Group at the recent Fraud and Breach Prevention Summit in Toronto, four cybercrime experts review the skills law enforcement officers must have to effectively investigate evolving cyberattacks and offer tips on working with authorities.
"Because you're dealing in an area of technology that's changing weekly and daily almost, it's a challenge to stay ahead of the curve," says panelist Kenrick Bagnall, who works on the computer cybercrime intelligence services team at the Toronto Police Service.
Imran Ahmad, a Toronto-based attorney with the law firm Miller Thomson, says organizations conducting investigations of cyberattacks should "prepare the materials and the evidence in a way that would be helpful to law enforcement, because they may not necessarily have either the resources or the detailed technical know-how."
When it comes to investigating financial crimes, information sharing is even more critical, say panelists John Buzzard, a fraud expert at payments provider CO-OP Financial Services, and John Walp, managing director of forensics technology at consultancy KPMG.
While it's becoming more common for law enforcement officers to have some understanding of how financial transactions work, banking institutions and other financial services firms need to educate local authorities, they say.
"If you would have picked up a telephone in 2002 and called [local police] and said, 'Hi. I'd like to speak with somebody who specializes in financial crime,' you probably would have had some blank hold time on the telephone," Buzzard says. "Not quite so much now."
Buzzard says criminal investigations focused on identity theft also have helped get law enforcement up to speed about cybercrime and fraud, which often involves the compromise of personal financial data.
"Specifically around the financial-services space, there's a lot of learning about how the banking and payments systems work," Walp adds.
During this interview (see audio player below photo), the panel also discusses:
The FBI's focus on cybercrime;
How law enforcement is working with the private sector to develop relationships in advance of a breach or incident; and
Why companies should involve law enforcement in their tabletop incident response exercises.
Bagnall, detective constable at the Toronto Police Service, formerly spent 20 years working in the IT industry, primarily within financial services.
Toronto-based attorney Ahmad serves on the Canadian Advanced Technologies Alliance's cybersecurity council and is a member of the executive committee of the Ontario Bar Association's privacy and access to information law section.
At CO-OP Financial Services, the largest credit union service organization in the U.S., Buzzard provides educational and directional fraud, risk and security information to institutions in the EFT/banking industry, and works with law enforcement agencies to share information about fraud trends.
Walp of KPMG formerly was the CISO of M&T Bank, where he was responsible for IT security, data protection and privacy strategies.

A must have book on risk management.
This new edition of Risk Management: Concepts and Guidance supplies a look at risk in light of current information, yet remains grounded in the history of risk practice. Taking a holistic approach, it examines risk as a blend of environmental, programmatic, and situational concerns. Supplying comprehensive coverage of risk management tools, practices, and protocols, the book presents powerful techniques that can enhance organizational risk identification, assessment, and management—all within the project and program environments.
Updated to reflect the Project Management Institute's A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide), Fifth Edition, this edition is an ideal resource for those seeking Project Management Professional and Risk Management Professional certification.
Emphasizing greater clarity on risk practice, this edition maintains a focus on the ability to apply "planned clairvoyance" to peer into the future. The book begins by analyzing the various systems that can be used to apply risk management. It provides a fundamental introduction to the basics associated with particular techniques, clarifying the essential concepts of risk and how they apply in projects. The second part of the book presents the specific techniques necessary to successfully implement the systems described in Part I.
The text addresses project risk management from the project manager's perspective. It adopts PMI's perspective that risk is both a threat and an opportunity, and it acknowledges that any effective risk management practice must look at the potential positive events that may befall a project, as well as the negatives.
Providing coverage of the concepts that many project management texts ignore, such as the risk response matrix and risk models, the book includes appendices filled with additional reference materials and supporting details that simplifying some of the most complex aspects of risk management.

Ebola spreads to high-risk area of Congo
Democratic Republic of Congo's Ebola outbreak has spread southwards into an area with high security risks, the World Health Organisation said.
The outbreak, the country's worst, has killed 443 of the 715 people believed to have caught the disease.
The fight against Ebola depends on tracing people who may have had contact with the disease and could fall ill and spread it further.
But the outbreak in a region of Congo with frequent fighting makes it hard for health workers to move around and monitor potential sufferers and to spread messages about how to avoid becoming sick.
The rising death toll — up by more than 40 in the past ten days — emphasises the challenge of controlling the epidemic in the strife-torn east and is just one of a host of complex issues facing new President Felix Tshisekedi who began his first full day in office on Friday.
Tshisekedi was sworn in on Thursday following a long-delayed and bitterly disputed election, replacing Joseph Kabila after 18 turbulent years in charge of sub-Saharan Africa's biggest country.
In his inaugural address, Tshisekedi promised a new era of respect for human rights. He also faces entrenched poverty, corruption and fighting between militias who control parts of the east.
Most of the cases since the start of the year have been in Katwa health zone, where the WHO said Ebola workers had faced "pockets of community mistrust" and most people falling ill were not on lists of people suspected of coming into contact with Ebola.
"The outbreak has also extended southwards to Kayina health zone, a high security risk area," the WHO said in its statement late on Thursday. There have been five cases in Kayina, which lies between the main outbreak zone and the major city of Goma, which is close to the Rwandan border.
The WHO said that after running an Ebola simulation exercise in Rwanda, it was sending a team to beef up the country's preparedness and to vaccinate health workers who would be first to come into contact with Ebola if it spread across the border.
However, WHO spokeswoman Fadela Chaib said there had also been a decline in cases around the previous hotspot Beni.
"It is very premature to shout victory, it's true we had some success in Beni because all the steps we've taken have had an impact, but unfortunately we see cases turning up in other areas," she said.
"The country is not only facing Ebola but other health threats, just to name malaria, cholera, vaccine-derived polio, and also a very long humanitarian crisis and a lot of violence in several regions."
More than 60,000 people have been vaccinated in Congo, as well as 2,500 in Uganda, one of the countries at "very high" risk from the disease.
Chaib said there were 4,000 people with potential Ebola contact under surveillance and 156 patients in hospital.
DR Congo has seen 10 outbreaks of the highly contagious haemorrhagic disease since it was first identified in 1976 near the Ebola river in the northwest of the country.
The latest outbreak was declared on August 1 in the region of Beni, a major market town in North Kivu, and quickly spread to neighbouring Ituri province.
The ministry said 248 people have recovered from the Ebola virus, while "236 suspect cases" were under investigation — down one from the previous bulletin on January 15.
The Beni region and parts of Ituri regularly come under attack from local armed groups and foreign rebels, particularly the feared Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) from neighbouring Uganda.
The presidential election, held on December 30, was cancelled in Beni, officially because of the Ebola outbreak and regional insecurity.

For James Harden, there was some soul-searching this summer. Considering the debacle that last year became for the Rockets, with Harden in the middle of the mess, heavy thinking was in order.
"Last year was frustrating," Harden told reporters. "Numbers, individually, were pretty solid. But just the love and excitement wasn't there. So I had to look in the mirror this summer and realize that I've gotta change, I have got to get back to how I was. My focus level, the things I can control, I have to be a lot better at. Once I get myself figured out, I can help others. That was one of the main things that I focused on this summer. That's why I am in a good place now."
Of course, Harden was in a very good place two years ago, when he finished just behind Stephen Curry in the MVP tally, and helped the Rockets reach the Western Conference finals. He's right about his numbers last year-they were almost identical, and better in most spots, than in 2014-15. But he got just three mentions on MVP ballots last spring, a third-place, a fourth-place and a fifth-place selection. He even missed out on all three All-NBA teams, finishing 49 points behind Kyle Lowry.
Harden has work to do this year, arguably more than any player in the league. He is 27 now, but he's still a tough player to figure out. His talent is obvious, and his stats are impressive. But it's uncertain whether a team can win with Harden as its featured player.
Harden received a big portion of the blame for the Rockets' downfall last year, as they swooned from 56 wins to 41. Harden and center Dwight Howard had developed a tenuous relationship during their time together in Houston, but the pairing bottomed out last year, and the Rockets became a mess of personal dysfunction in the locker room and half-hearted effort on the floor.
Howard is gone now, and the team belongs to Harden. The Rockets have had to give up on the notion of stockpiling a superteam (they made efforts to bring in free agents like Chris Bosh and Carmelo Anthony, remember) and instead, have surrounded Harden with role players like shooters Eric Gordon and Ryan Anderson. The up-tempo offense of new coach Mike D'Antoni should ensure that Harden continues his run of impressive numbers.
But his old coach-Kevin McHale, fired 11 games into last season-said that numbers alone are not going to cut it this year for Harden.
"There are a lot of tools in the tool box to help a team win games," McHale said. "It's not just when the ball is going in the hole. Can you help the team win when the ball is not going in? Can you help your team win when everything is not going your way? And that has to be James' mantra, that he has got to find a way. Taking it full circle to the best players in the league-and I know that's who he wants to be-but LeBron can win games when his shot is not going down. There are guys who are the elite of the elite, they can help themselves in many ways."
For now, at least, Harden is preaching togetherness on and off the floor for the Rockets. That would be a good start over last year.
"I am going to make a point, an effort to make sure everybody's on the same page," Harden said. "Whether you're the coaching staff, whether it's the training staff, whether it's the players, front office as well. We all have one goal, we all have one mindset and that's to win. If you're an outcast, you're going to feel bad about yourself because everybody else is going to be on the same page."
But McHale is right. It's going to take more than pledges of unity and big numbers for Harden to reclaim his mantle as an elite player in the league. His stats did not take a hit last year, but those stats rang hollow amid the Rockets' struggles. Harden's reputation did take a hit. He's under considerable pressure-as much pressure as any star player in the league-to bury last season and re-establish himself.
"Last year was a blur," Harden said, "everything was happening so fast, and you know, we all go through that in life, we all have bad days, bad years. But it's the bounce-back that makes you stronger."


Halloween is all about the treats in my house! These are some easy, fool proof snacks to celebrate the season.
My daughter LOVES Nutter Butter's all the time, so this is of course her favorite Halloween snack to make. It is so easy and super cute. Great for Halloween parties or for snacking at home.
All you need to do is place the white chocolate in the bowl. Place it in the microwave for 4 min or until melted. Once it is melted, dip the cookies in the white chocolate. Cover 3/4 of the cookie. Place them on the wax paper until cool and hardened. Use the toothpick and the chocolate syrup to decorate the "ghost" face. Enjoy!
These little things are the perfect Halloween movie snack! They are crunchy, salty and sweet all in one. And they look like bones so it's really fun.
Fist you need to assemble the "bones". Place a mini marshmallow on each end of the pretzel stick. Make as many as you like. Set to the side. Next, microwave the white chocolate for about 4 minutes or until melted. Dip the assembled pretzels in the white chocolate and set on wax paper to cool and harden. That is all! Quick and cute way to add a spooky flare to snacking!
This is just so cute and perfect for an October evening dinner. It makes kids excited to eat their burgers and helps get everyone in the Halloween spirit! You just make the burgers as you usually would. The only thing different you do is cut out a cute pumpkin face in the cheese and magically your burger has been transformed into a pumpkin. We serve the top bun on the side of the plate when we make these. That way you can actually see the pumpkin. Easy way to spice up dinner!
This is my FAVORITE quick Halloween treat to make. It is rich and yummy. I think it looks absolutely gorgeous. You could do this anytime in the fall. Not just Halloween. Adults like this just as much as the kiddos.
Place pretzels and candy corn in the bottom of the wax covered dish. Melt chocolate and pour over the pretzels and candy corn. Pop it in the fridge to chill and harden. You are done! SO GOOD. This make cute gifts to give as well.
Hope you try some or all four of these ideas. Happy Halloween snacking!
What kind of white chocolate did you use? I used chips, and they would not melt no matter what I did.
Omg such cute goodies I am going to make the gosht nutter butter treats they look great!!!!
These Halloween treats look good. The images of these treats all look cute. These all look pretty easy to make and shouldn't take much time at all.
so cute those peanut butter cookies. Yr burgers are scary tho... Happy halloween.


Instruments aren't usually what people think of when they picture musicals. Good, bad, or otherwise, it's mostly flashy costumes, soaring lyrics, and ostentatious dance numbers (think: Grease, Mamma Mia, West Side Story, or even Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark). Once is a very different kind of musical—its costumes are muted, its cast is small, and all of the actors on stage double as the orchestra.
This novel approach to the medium works in Once's favor. It lends an intimacy to the performance—a show based on the book by Enda Walsh and the movie by John Carney—that other musicals simply can't provide. And SpeakEasy's take on the Broadway production works to its advantage. As the audience members find their seats, the secondary characters are sitting in a circle loudly playing Irish folk songs—and having a ball doing it. While clearly a gimmick, this is a great way to fill the time between the opening of the doors and the start of the show with more than a red curtain.
The show, directed by Paul Melone, begins organically. Set in a Dublin music store (hence all of the instruments laying around on set, including a grand piano), it seems the perfect place for a gathering like this. The musicians file off stage, walking past a guitarist standing alone off to one side of the stage. One of the players even stops to flip a coin into the new performer's hat as he begins to sing. This character, named Guy (Nile Scott Hawver), finishes his song.
Upset with himself, he clearly aims to throw away his guitar and give up music altogether. Standing off to the side is Girl (Mackenzie Lesser-Roy). She convinces him not to give up music just yet and instead to sing a song with her. The two leads sing "Falling Slowly," a beautiful piece that has earned its spot on the radio outside of the show. Over the course of the performance, the audience watches the development of the "will-they, won't-they" between the two characters as they become closer and work on recording an album together.
Even at this early point in the play, it's clear that the music and lyrics are spectacular. Good music shouldn't be high praise for a musical, but Once deserves it. The cast's voices are strong and clear, and the instrumentation is very engaging. The incorporation of the instruments is both seamless and eye-catching. During musical numbers, the secondary cast members grab instruments off the walls of the set and take up spots on the sides of the stage to play. The effect this produced was one as if the orchestra (an orchestra of mostly guitars, a violin, a cello, and an accordion) had donned costumes and begun playing on stage.
The high point of Once is Lesser-Roy. She is a beautiful singer with an expressive face and an engaging manner. She looks at ease on stage and in the show—as she should, considering that she played the same part in the national tour of Once. This is not to say that the other actors aren't pulling their weight. Hawver turns in a lovely performance as Guy. His character goes through a roller coaster of emotion, but Hawver doesn't look like he's forcing it. The other members of the cast lend mostly humor, but they're a refreshing addition in the slightly too-long show.
Once does have its missteps. Some of the "jokes," or at least the lines played for laughs, are too forced. It's a little jarring to feel the musical take a beat so as not to step on the laugh when no laugh comes. Once relies a bit too heavily on low-hanging fruit for its own good. And the show is well over two hours. The 15-minute intermission is welcome, but it also pads the length. Once mitigates its length a bit by frontloading the show in the first act, but this doesn't stop the fatigue from setting in.
In spite of this, it's clear why the show was so successful on Broadway, as a film, and even as a novel. For being a distinctly Irish story, it's a wonder it took so long for a run in Boston.


It depends on the strength of tablet, and the dose you were prescribed, the reason it was prescribed and you're weight/size/age. Best thing to do is to check with your doctor, and confirm on the label of your tablets what the recommended dose your doctor has said. Endone can make you drowsy, constipated, depress your respiratory system among other side effects. So I'd take care before taking too much of it. If you're pain isn't controlled with the dose you were prescribed then you need to see you're doctor to see if there are alternatives that can be taken instead or with the Endone rather then just increasing the dose of the Endone.


Sapphire 2018: Drinking the Kool-Aid (yet)?
After the biggest attendance at Sapphire to date, you can clearly see a very new era for SAP and enterprise software. Younger faces, more t-shirts, a cooler concert and lots of talk about 'Intelligent Enterprise'. Focus has certainly shifted from the 'Digital Core' to art of the possible in the new era of cloud and digital transformation. Has the message changed or is it just refined?
Let's break it down to basics. The fuel to all of this is the SAP Cloud platform. Embracing open source Cloud Foundry has transformed 'your dad's ERP' to an innovative new world where new business models come to life in real two speed IT fashion.
The rapid expansion of the Leonardo applications on top of this platform, truly enables Intelligent business processes back through the S4/HANA core via real-time API integration while the newly announced SAP C/4HANA as the 4'th Generation Customer Experience Suite leverages this platform to bring the Commerce-, Sales-, Services- and Marketing Cloud to the next level while delivering a unified digital customer experience.
So the message may have been refined (a bit), but what has not changed, is that the HANA based SAP Cloud Platform is still the secret sauce that can help transform your organization.

Men are using Botox and fillers to improve their Instagram
The number of men willing to Brotox is on the rise
Shaun Clark, 39, was looking at photos of himself on Instagram when he noticed the first signs of ageing. "I was being obsessive when looking at certain pics, like, 'Oh, fuck, there are some lines'."
So, Clark decided to get Botox around his eyes and forehead. A series of injections of botulinum toxin, Botox works by temporarily relaxing the facial muscles that cause wrinkles by blocking the nerve synapses from firing. "My women friends swore by it. I just wanted to look younger," Clark says.
(Related: What happened when I gave up Instagram for a month)
It's a ritual he's maintained ever since. Clark says he now gets Botox injections every three months, and it costs about £138 each time.
That was in 2010. Since then, there's been a 20 per cent increase in the number of men getting plastic surgery in general, with most of them getting minimally invasive procedures like injectables or fillers like Juvederm, which can reduce wrinkles as well as add volume to areas like the lips or temples. The number of men getting Botox specifically has jumped 27 per cent during that time span, leading media outlets to deem the trend "Brotox."
(Related: Can you look good without surgery)
Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Deepak Raj Dugar, MD, said that he has also seen an increase in male patients requesting Botox and fillers in recent years. He estimates that about 30 per cent of his Botox patients are male, as are 20 per cent of his filler patients, who often request fillers in their cheeks, jawlines, and temples.
So why is Brotox on the uptick? The short answer: social media.
(Related: How to look better and feel better with selfies)
Procedures designed to create the perfect selfie
While it's not exactly news that the rise of Instagram has put more pressure on us to improve our appearances, guys like Jon LeBlanc, 40, are responding to that pressure by shelling out their cash for monthly injections.
"I do think our society is way more vain [because of social media]. I'm guilty of succumbing to that," says LeBlanc, who was inspired to get Botox when he spotted his first forehead lines. "But I like good things and willing to pay for it."
(Related: Tired of wrinkles)
Psychotherapist and sex therapist David Ortmann, who has personally had Botox and fillers a number of times, says that given the relatively low cost of the procedure (it costs about £183-£366 per treatment area), it's a quick fix for guys who spot perceived flaws in their Instagram photos. He sums up the reasoning as: "Instead of putting a picture of yourself up there from five years ago, why not have [this procedure] done?"
In fact, the influence of social media is so strong that some surgeons have developed specific procedures intended to enhance your appearance in selfies. Dr. Dara Liotta, a facial plastic surgeon on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, is the creator of the LitLift, which uses a cocktail of both Botox and filler on six different areas of the face.
The LitLift is intended to recreate the effect of contouring, the makeup effect popularized by the Kardashians that aims to add definition to the face. "Essentially, the goal is to make you look like you are always well-lit, like in a Snapchat or Instagram filter," Liotta explains.
Liotta says that since she created the LitLift in 2017, about 20 per cent of her clients have been men. "Botox and filler does not discriminate on the basis of gender," she says.
(Related: How to take better selfies)
Dugar agrees: "Men do notice how they look in photos, and I think men, despite being macho or whatever, are very sensitive to comments."
But at the same time, even though more men may be choosing to go under the needle, they're not any more open to talking about it. As stigmatised as cosmetic surgery is for women, it's even more so from men. "Men are discouraged from looking in the mirror and wanting to be beautiful," says Ortmann. He notes that this is particularly true for straight men, who might consider the desire to improve their appearance "feminine."
Brotoxing is spreading
Cy*, 42, says this stigma is rapidly changing — at least in Los Angeles, where he lives. While he was initially reluctant to get Botox and fillers, he changed his mind after seeing friends on Instagram rave about the procedure. "There's now this radical acceptance," he says. "So I just went with it." Liotta agrees that it's becoming less taboo, at least for the Instagram generation: "Millennials in particular seem to view Botox and filler as part of regular maintenance," she says.
(Related: Rejuvenate your appearance)
Still, the way that Botox is marketed for men would seem to indicate that the hold of toxic masculinity is just as strong as ever. Medical spas like The Club House in Manhattan, for instance, offer events like "Poker Brotox Night" to put its male clientele more at ease, and even the existence of the cutesy term "Brotox" is arguably a sign that the procedure is still not entirely normalized for men.
It's also worth considering the impact that the rise of injectables has on health and safety — especially in cities like New York and Los Angeles, where it can seem like every nail salon on the corner offers Botox. While Botox is widely considered to be safe in small doses, Dugar advises men interested in the procedure to use "a board-certified doctor or a dermatologist, or someone who has significant experience with injectables" instead of having a nurse administer an injectable at a private spa.
(Related: A million Brits are using steroids for looks, not sport)
Liotta also cautions men who want to avoid looking like a wax dummy "to seek out an injector who has experience with men, since the exact placement of injections, and amounts of Botox and filler injected, are a little different for men and women."
Despite the risks of injectables, as well as the implications it might have for our youth and appearance-obsessed culture, guys like Shaun Clark still clearly think it's worth it. "For me, it just came down to wanting to look good," he says. "I love getting Botox, and there's nothing wrong with that."

I highly recommend the SoTM switch *with the clock input*, provided, of course, your DAC has a clock sync output.
On the MSB, adding the switch by itself was good, but with the clock option, it was just remarkable.
It's now part of our reference set up, and we're now resellers for SoTM as well.
Pls make sure to select the 12V dc input version. The sound is slightly better.
There is an original SOtM "Evox capacitors + silver hookup wire" upgrade too.
Also not to be missed.
Thanks for passing along all the digital discoveries that you are always finding.
Question. I tend to be annoyed by these boxes as they all use various lps that take up space and create huge rat nests of extra power cords and need for vibration control as well.
Are you aware if any top shelf LPS that takes in a single AC supply but outputs maybe 2,3 or 4 voltage outputs to power the various boxes from a single source?
Does MSB Select have clock output?
There are 2 computers in that system and can be either set up as HQPlayer HQ-NAA config or Roon Core-Endpoint config.
They are linked up by the SOtM switches.
The downstream computer outputs via usb to Uptone Audio IsoRegen then SOtM tx-USBultra before going to a Chord Blu2+DAVE combo.
There are some brands which make LPS with two dc outputs.
I particularly like the Keces P8 from Taiwan, Uptone JS2 and Clones Audio PowerStation Deluxe from Hong Kong.
In Hong Kong there is also a shop run by Kenneth Lau who makes very nice multi dc output LPS.
So with this combination of switches, USB reclockers, one do not need high end server like Extreme?
I am also using the Sotm switch... have the 12 volt version but using an external Linear supply on it. Have been tempted to go dual switch but so happy already. Really good.
So u actually A/B'd the different voltage switches and the cap & silver wire upgrade???
Hong Kong is a compact city and.my audiophile friends and I have gatherings several times per month.
Each of us will bring hardware and software to enjoy and compare.
Does it output 10 MHz?
I can't find in their website. Can you please let me know where in the website?
The above are the AES digital input module and Coaxial/toslink input module of MSB.
You can see that they have a bnc for clock signal output.
Both MSB Select Transport and Reference Transport have a bnc clock input.
Thank You! , that makes perfect sense now.
Do you still prefer the 2 server setup vs the single server, ala Evo, Extreme or Memory Player route?
Or Maybe you are a 2x extreme server setup fan ...!
become equal in cost at some point!
Again, I love that you are able to gather so much equipment for all this testing, very valuable!
and provide a simpler solution. Has anyone in the group played with this?
We did compare that aspect too.
In general if employing optical fibers directly to the server/endpoint, the sound is less musical than using a good ethernet cable auch as Vertere or Dalby Audio Meda.
However the reverse is true for the connection between the two switches.


On a warm Saturday morning, Jose Ilarraza stood by the Gowanus Canal in Brooklyn watching two yellow cranes on the other side digging into mountains of scrap metal and dumping it onto a barge.
While Mr. Ilarraza, a 40-year-old school custodian, said he likes to spend time by the canal, fishing for striped bass near its mouth in Gowanus Bay and enjoying "the nice breeze," he never eats his catch.
"There's a lot of garbage," said Mr. Ilarraza, a longtime Brooklyn resident. "You don't need to be a rocket scientist to know that." The "garbage" in and along the mile-and-a-half-long canal includes pesticides, heavy metals and carcinogens like PCBs from more than a century's worth of industrial activity. This month, the Environmental Protection Agency said that the contamination posed a public health hazard and proposed to add the Gowanus to the National Priorities List of its Superfund program, an effort to investigate and clean up the country's most hazardous waste sites.
Yet the proposal for a comprehensive cleanup, on which the agency is seeking public comment until June 6, is pitting federal and state officials against the Bloomberg administration and neighbor against neighbor.
City officials and many residents fear that the Superfund label, reserved for the worst contamination in the country and evoking health emergencies like the Love Canal debacle of the 1970s, could deter new development in Gowanus, Carroll Gardens and Red Hook.
City officials said that the listing could jeopardize more than $500 million committed to the waterfront for two private projects involving more than 1,200 housing units.
Experts on contaminated sites said that a Superfund listing typically stirs contradictory emotions. On one hand, some people who live nearby may feel demoralized or frightened by the finding of serious contamination and worry about its impact on real estate values; on the other, some are often relieved to get a firm commitment to clean up the toxic substances in their midst.
"It's very common to have the division between those who see it as terrible and those who see it as an opportunity," said Kris Wernstedt, an associate professor of urban affairs and planning at Virginia Tech's Alexandria campus who specializes in Superfund and brownfield issues.
Studies have shown that property values decline after a Superfund listing but rebound after the cleanup, sometimes to far higher levels, he said.
The proposed designation has put Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, who has championed a greener New York, in the odd position of opposing the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, which requested the Superfund listing for the canal.
City environmental officials say they would welcome a cleanup, but not the stigma of a Superfund designation, which authorizes federal officials to pursue parties responsible for the pollution, and have them pay for the removal of hazards. They object to that process because it can extend the cleanup period into decades.
They also argued that the Superfund designation would give the Environmental Protection Agency veto power over the city's own Gowanus plans, including rezoning 25 blocks of industrial land to allow for residential and commercial development and spending $175 million to diminish odors and prevent sewage discharges that have contributed to the canal's pollution.
But some officials and neighbors who favor the Superfund designation accused Mr. Bloomberg of putting development ahead of the environment in a mayoral election year.
The city countered that it was seeking faster solutions from the Environmental Protection Agency than the Superfund would provide, like voluntary cleanups by polluters.
But Environmental Protection Agency officials said that a voluntary approach could allow polluters to evade their obligations. Walter Mugdan, director of the Superfund Division for the New York region, also said that while it was too early to say how long the federal cleanup would take or how much it would cost, he did not expect it to interfere with the city's current plans.
Pete Grannis, the commissioner of the State Department of Environmental Conservation, said his agency had asked for the Superfund listing because the state lacked the resources to clean up the canal.
But at least one housing developer, Toll Brothers, has threatened to scrap its building plans if the Superfund designation goes through. Like other real estate companies, it already faces the challenge of a depressed housing market. Ethan Geto, a Toll Brothers spokesman, said a Superfund listing could torpedo its plan for a complex of 460 housing units on three acres by the canal.
"To market residential units at a Superfund site is virtually impossible," he said.
The mixed emotions about the Environmental Protection Agency's proposal were evident at the meeting organized by Ms. Velázquez last week. Many residents sided with the city and expressed concern about a drop in property values and the loss of jobs if the planned projects were scuttled.
The main concern for many other residents who were at the hearing, though, is getting rid of the contamination, not what the cleanup is called or the development it could delay.
"If there's any kind of flooding, these contaminants will be in people's backyards and homes," said Steven Miller, 47, a filmmaker who lives about 100 yards from the canal, in Carroll Gardens.

Goforth unveils first TV ad in challenging Kentucky governor
By: Bruce Schreiner | Associated Press
FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — Republican lawmaker Robert Goforth plays up his Kentucky roots in the first TV ad of his campaign challenge against Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin in the spring GOP primary.
The 30-second ad that began airing Wednesday mentions Goforth's ties to southeastern Kentucky. Goforth is a state representative from East Bernstadt in Laurel County, and his family's roots in the region go back several generations.
The commercial shows Goforth and his family on their farm. Goforth started a small chain of pharmacies that he eventually sold. He raises cattle on the farm.
Without mentioning the governor by name, the ad also takes a dig at Bevin's New England roots.
The governor grew up in New Hampshire but has lived in Kentucky for about two decades.
Both Bevin and Goforth have talked about their families' financial hardships while growing up.
A Bevin spokesman declined comment Wednesday on Goforth's ad.
Goforth's campaign said the commercial is running on statewide cable markets and in the Hazard and Bowling Green regional markets.
Goforth is widely seen as a decided underdog in the May 21 primary, but his candidacy could provide a measure of Bevin's popularity among Republicans after a tumultuous time as governor.
Bevin's approval ratings dropped last year after he criticized teachers and others who opposed his efforts to overhaul the state's struggling public pension plans.
The GOP-led legislature pushed through a pension bill last year that prompted protests from thousands of teachers who closed schools in more than 30 districts statewide. The state Supreme Court struck down the law on procedural grounds. The year ended when Bevin called the legislature back in session to pass a version of the bill again, but lawmakers could not reach an agreement and adjourned.
In an interview Tuesday on WKCT radio, Bevin chastised lawmakers for not passing pension legislation in this year's session. Lawmakers will return to the state Capitol on March 28 for the final day of the session.
Other GOP candidates for governor in the May 21 primary are William Woods and Ike Lawrence.
On the Democratic side, the candidates for governor are state Attorney General Andy Beshear, House Minority Floor Leader Rocky Adkins, former state auditor Adam Edelen and frequent candidate Geoff Young.
Kentucky is one of three states that will elect governors in 2019, along with Louisiana and Mississippi.

I encountered a worrisome trend from some thermographers from some of the forums and in person. The issue is generated from the DJI XT product. So incidentally, when DJI introduced the XT it was marketed as having the ability to do thermal temperature measurement knows as Radiometrics, which is incorrect. A few months later DJI released an difference variant to the XT known as the Performance XT or aka XTR. This particular product has a Radiometric core build into the unit, thus making it possible to do absolute Radiometric measurements.
The fear is that unless it was specifically noted, current XT owners are convinced that their unit has Radiometric feature. Especially, when data values are registered from the DJI XT App.
This is troubling due to thermographers providing inaccurate data for their report. The photo above shows how easily confusing the GUI interface the DJI XT Pro App has and uninformed sUAS operators don't know any better.
So a word of caution for all DJI XT owners, be aware of the accuracy of your data you are providing in your reports and for the XTR owners, if you have clients that require accurate temperature measurements please get certified. There are a lot more into it than just reading temperatures off the screen.
striving to learn more and teaching my knowledge to others.

Music festival boost to Uist economy recognised by Comhairle Leader
By Peter Urpeth Local Democracy Reporter
Benbecula's Eilean Dorcha Festival generated more than £520k for the local economy last year, and saw attendances grow by more than 12 per cent.
Held in July at Liniclate Machair, the self-styled #friendlyfestival attracted nearly 3,400 visitors in 2018, with more than forty per cent of visitors coming from outwith the Outer Hebrides, and nearly 90 per cent of attendees in Benbecula solely for the event.
The findings were confirmed in an independent economic survey of the event, and the impact on the local economy has been welcomed by the Comhairle.
Cllr Roddie Mackay, Comhairle Leader, said: "I would like to congratulate the Eilean Dorcha Festival for their ongoing success. The event achieves a number of key objectives, including supporting the island economy, being sustainable and bringing the community together.
"The Comhairle is very pleased to support the festival which brings significant economic and cultural benefits to these islands and we look forward with anticipation to next year's event."
The Festival's benefit to the local economy grew by 24 per cent on the previous year. More than 90 per cent of those who responded to the survey rated the festival experience as being good, very good or excellent.
Last month the festival was shortlisted for The UK Small Festival of the Year award and The NOEA Scotland Tribute Award.

Public Relations | Non-Profit Marketing | DNA – Greenville – Why Groupon Really Is the "REAL" Deal!
Why Groupon Really Is the "REAL" Deal!
More than likely, you're familiar with "Groupon," a website that features a daily deal (usually up to a 50%-90% discount) on the best stuff to do, see, eat and buy in your city and local community.
Created in 2008 (with a half-price offer for pizzas sold on the first floor of its building in Chicago being its first deal), it's fair to say that Groupon has come a long way. Just at the end of 2011, over 170 million Groupons were sold to more than 33 million active customers, on behalf of more than 250,000 merchants in 48 countries around the world (Forbes).
Groupon helps people have fun in the city they live in (and save money while doing it) by using the tremendous power of collective buying. In short, Groupon promises local businesses a minimum number of customers in exchange for an unbeatable deal—once a minimum number of deals are purchased (the tipping point), the deal is available to all!
Groupon wasn't always Groupon. In fact, it grew out of a fundraising website called The Point that was created as a revolutionary way for individuals to combine their influence and "make things happen." Because when it comes down to it, in the nonprofit world and beyond, often you can't make change happen alone—you need the power of many.
On-line giving campaigns run through The Point leveraged the influence of group giving; all campaigns have a "tipping point" at which so many people pledge to give money or take action—and when the tipping point is met, success is ensured. In 2008, "The Point" evolved into Groupon operating under this same model, but refocused its purpose on consumer driven deals.
To us, Groupon really is the REAL deal.

LittleBigPlanet boss reveals PSP vision
"Companion products" would link with PS3.
News by	Johnny Minkley, Contributor
Updated on 3 October 2008
Media Molecule co-founder Mark Healey has outlined his vision for a handheld LittleBigPlanet, revealing how gamers could create content on the move to add later into the PlayStation 3 version.
"There's definitely scope for a PSP version," Healey told Eurogamer TV, in an exclusive interview to be broadcast next week. "We've had discussions and talks, [but] nothing concrete at the moment."
He went on to describe how he saw the innovative title transferring onto Sony's handheld. "It'd be great to make - for the people who are really into the Create side - some kind of companion products that allow you to create things while you're on the train," he said. "One thing that I'd love to add is the ability to create you're own music, for example, that you can import into the game. That seems like an obvious one to do and it'd be quite easy really."
Healey also hinted that any spin-off products in the franchise could be handled externally, "because we're very keen to keep this very tight core of people."
"If we need to expand for extra content, for whatever reason, maybe we'd be more likely to outsource it."
Further evidence of a PSP version of LittleBigPlanet emerged this week with the discovery of a job ad for a "PSP Game Engine Lead", seeking "a senior level programmer to work on the development of exciting new LittleBigPlanet projects".
The Guildford-based developer's debut title releases on PlayStation 3 on 24th October.

Warner becomes fastest Australian to amass 5000 ODI runs
Mumbai, Jan 14 (IANS) Australia opener David Warner added another feather to his illustrious cap as he became the fastest batsman from his country to amass 5000 ODI runs.
Warner achieved the milestone as soon as he reached his individual score of 10 in the first ODI of the three-match rubber against India at the Wankhede Stadium.
Meanwhile, in the overall list of batsmen reaching the 5k ODI run-mark, Warner now stands at the fourth spot after taking 115 innings to do so.
South Africa's Hashim Amla tops the chart after amassing 5000 runs from 101 innings and is followed by West Indies great Viv Richards (114 innings).
With the feat, Warner also surpassed Joe Root and Brian Lara to become the third-fastest batsman to reach 5000 runs in ODIs. While Root achieved the feat in 116 innings, Lara took 118 innings to do so.
The previous fastest Australian to reach 5000 runs was Dean Jones, who took 128 innings.

For years, from in the late '80s cable operators have been pirating signals from the US allowing Belizeans to enjoy almost 200 channels of various television channels. The practice was a simple one, operators would purchase channel packages in the US and simply amplify and multiply the signal and sell to subscribers in Belize. Those glory days are now fast coming to an end with the strict enforcement of copyright laws.
On May 9th a letter from the Belize Cable Television Operators Association began to be circulated where they are telling subscribers that, "It has been agreed by the cable operators that the new rate for the basic cable package will be capped at BZ $60.00 inclusive of General Sales Tax. This increase will come into effect as of June 1, 2018." The basic cable package as we understand it will feature 80 channels and will not include feature channels like HBO, Showtime, Cinemax and other channels like these. The package will only include some 80 channels which are yet to be disclosed.
The letter has endorsement by Coral Cable Vision, Central TV and Internet, Centaur, Ladyville and CBC. Those are almost all the major cable television providers in the country.

Can farming save Detroit?
By David Whitford, editor at largeDecember 29, 2009: 11:37 AM ET
DETROIT (Fortune) -- John Hantz is a wealthy money manager who lives in an older enclave of Detroit where all the houses are grand and not all of them are falling apart. Once a star stockbroker at American Express, he left 13 years ago to found his own firm. Today Hantz Financial Services has 20 offices in Michigan, Ohio, and Georgia, more than 500 employees, and $1.3 billion in assets under management.
Twice divorced, Hantz, 48, lives alone in clubby, paneled splendor, surrounded by early-American landscapes on the walls, an autograph collection that veers from Detroit icons such as Ty Cobb and Henry Ford to Baron von Richthofen and Mussolini, and a set of Ayn Rand first editions.
Green acreage
Fortune asked artist Bryan Christie to imagine how Detroit's thousands of abandoned residential acres might be transformed into cutting-edge, city-style farms (see illustration above): Solar panels and windmills power vertical growing systems that are efficient, attractive, and tourist-friendly. Greenhouses allow crops to grow year-round. And new development sprouts on the periphery.
Stockbroker John Hantz is scouting empty acres in Detroit and says he'll start planting in the spring.

With a net worth of more than $100 million, he's one of the richest men left in Detroit -- one of the very few in his demographic who stayed put when others were fleeing to Grosse Pointe and Bloomfield Hills. Not long ago, while commuting, he stumbled on a big idea that might help save his dying city.
Every weekday Hantz pulls his Volvo SUV out of the gated driveway of his compound and drives half an hour to his office in Southfield, a northern suburb on the far side of Eight Mile Road. His route takes him through a desolate, postindustrial cityscape -- the kind of scene that is shockingly common in Detroit.
Along the way he passes vacant buildings, abandoned homes, and a whole lot of empty land. In some stretches he sees more pheasants than people. "Every year I tell myself it's going to get better," says Hantz, bright-eyed, with smooth cheeks and a little boy's carefully combed haircut, "and every year it doesn't."
Then one day about a year and a half ago, Hantz had a revelation. "We need scarcity," he thought to himself as he drove past block after unoccupied block. "We can't create opportunities, but we can create scarcity." And that, he says one afternoon in his living room between puffs on an expensive cigar, "is how I got onto this idea of the farm."
Yes, a farm. A large-scale, for-profit agricultural enterprise, wholly contained within the city limits of Detroit. Hantz thinks farming could do his city a lot of good: restore big chunks of tax-delinquent, resource-draining urban blight to pastoral productivity; provide decent jobs with benefits; supply local markets and restaurants with fresh produce; attract tourists from all over the world; and -- most important of all -- stimulate development around the edges as the local land market tilts from stultifying abundance to something more like scarcity and investors move in. Hantz is willing to commit $30 million to the project. He'll start with a pilot program this spring involving up to 50 acres on Detroit's east side. "Out of the gates," he says, "it'll be the largest urban farm in the world."
This is possibly not as crazy as it sounds. Granted, the notion of devoting valuable city land to agriculture would be unfathomable in New York, London, or Tokyo. But Detroit is a special case. The city that was once the fourth largest in the country and served as a symbol of America's industrial might has lately assumed a new role: North American poster child for the global phenomenon of shrinking postindustrial cities.
Nearly 2 million people used to live in Detroit. Fewer than 900,000 remain. Even if, unlikely as it seems, the auto industry were to rebound dramatically and the U.S. economy were to come roaring back tomorrow, no one -- not even the proudest civic boosters -- imagines that the worst is over. "Detroit will probably be a city of 700,000 people when it's all said and done," says Doug Rothwell, CEO of Business Leaders for Michigan. "The big challenge is, What do you do with a population of 700,000 in a geography that can accommodate three times that much?"
0:00 /2:56What Detroit start-ups need
Whatever the answer is, whenever it comes, it won't be predicated on a return to past glory. "We have to be realistic," says George Jackson, CEO of the Detroit Economic Growth Corp. (DEGC). "This is not about trying to re-create something. We're not a world-class city."
If not world class, then what? A regional financial center? That's already Chicago, and to a lesser extent Minneapolis. A biotech hub? Boston and San Diego are way out in front. Some think Detroit has a future in TV and movies, but Hollywood is skeptical. ("Best incentives in the country," one producer says. "Worst crew.") How about high tech and green manufacturing? Possibly, given the engineering and manufacturing talent that remains.
But still there's the problem of what to do with the city's enormous amount of abandoned land, conservatively estimated at 40 square miles in a sprawling metropolis whose 139-square-mile footprint is easily bigger than San Francisco, Boston, and Manhattan combined. If you let it revert to nature, you abandon all hope of productive use. If you turn it over to parks and recreation, you add costs to an overburdened city government that can't afford to teach its children, police its streets, or maintain the infrastructure it already has.
Faced with those facts, a growing number of policymakers and urban planners have begun to endorse farming as a solution. Former HUD secretary Henry Cisneros, now chairman of CityView, a private equity firm that invests in urban development, is familiar with Detroit's land problem. He says he's in favor of "other uses that engage human beings in their maintenance, such as urban agriculture." After studying the city's options at the request of civic leaders, the American Institute of Architects came to this conclusion in a recent report: "Detroit is particularly well suited to become a pioneer in urban agriculture at a commercial scale."
In that sense, Detroit might actually be ahead of the curve. When Alex Krieger, chairman of the department of urban planning and design at Harvard, imagines what the settled world might look like half a century from now, he sees "a checkerboard pattern" with "more densely urbanized areas, and areas preserved for various purposes such as farming.
The notion of a walled city, a contained city -- that's an 18th-century idea." And where will the new ideas for the 21st century emerge? From older, decaying cities, Krieger believes, such as New Orleans, St. Louis, Cleveland, Newark, and especially Detroit -- cities that have become, at least in part, "kind of empty containers."
This is a lot to hang on Hantz. Most of what he knows about agriculture he's picked up over the past 18 months from the experts he's consulting at Michigan State and the Kellogg Foundation. Then there's the fact that many of his fellow citizens are openly rooting against him. Since word leaked of his scheme last spring, he has been criticized by community activists, who call the plan a land grab. Opponents have also raised questions about the run-ins he's had with regulators at Hantz Financial.
But Detroit is nothing if not desperate for new ideas, and Hantz has had no trouble getting his heard. "It all sounds very exciting," says the DEGC's Jackson, whose agency is working on assembling a package of incentives for Hantz, including free city land. "We hope it works."
Detroit's civic history is notable for repeated failed attempts to revitalize its core. Over the past three decades leaders have embraced a series of downtown redevelopment plans that promised to save the city.
The massive Renaissance Center office and retail complex, built in the 1970s, mostly served to suck tenants out of other downtown buildings. (Today 48 of those buildings stand empty.) Three new casinos (one already bankrupt) and two new sports arenas (one for the NFL's dreadful Lions, the other for MLB's Tigers) have restored, on some nights, a little spark to downtown Detroit but have inspired little in the way of peripheral development. Downtown is still eerily underpopulated, the tax base is still crumbling, and people are still leaving. The jobless rate in the city is 27%.
Nothing yet tried in Detroit even begins to address the fundamental issue of emptiness -- empty factories, empty office buildings, empty houses, and above all, empty lots. Rampant arson, culminating in the annual frenzy of Devil's Night, is partly to blame. But there has also been a lot of officially sanctioned demolition in Detroit. As white residents fled to the suburbs over the decades, houses in the decaying neighborhoods they left behind were often bulldozed.
Abandonment is an infrastructure problem, when you consider the cost of maintaining far-flung roads and sewer systems; it's a city services problem, when you think about the inefficiencies of collecting trash and fighting crime in sparsely populated neighborhoods; and it's a real estate problem. Houses in Detroit are selling for an average of $15,000.
That sounds like a buying opportunity, and in fact Detroit looks pretty good right now to a young artist or entrepreneur who can't afford anyplace else -- but not yet to an investor. The smart money sees no point in buying as long as fresh inventory keeps flooding the market. "In the target sites we have," says Hantz, "we [reevaluate] every two weeks."
As Hantz began thinking about ways to absorb some of that inventory, what he imagined, he says, was a glacier: one broad, continuous swath of farmland, growing acre by acre, year by year, until it had overrun enough territory to raise the scarcity alarm and impel other investors to act. Rick Foster, an executive at the Kellogg Foundation whom Hantz sought out for advice, nudged him gently in a different direction.
"I think you should make pods," Foster said, meaning not one farm but many. Hantz was taken right away with the concept of creating several pods -- or lakes, as he came to think of them -- each as large as 300 acres, and each surrounded by its own valuable frontage. "What if we had seven lakes in the city?" he wondered. "Would people develop around those lakes?"
To increase the odds that they will, Hantz plans on making his farms both visually stunning and technologically cutting edge. Where there are row crops, Hantz says, they'll be neatly organized, planted in "dead-straight lines -- they may even be in a design." But the plan isn't to make Detroit look like Iowa. "Don't think a farm with tractors," says Hantz. "That's old."
In fact, Hantz's operation will bear little resemblance to a traditional farm. Mike Score, who recently left Michigan State's agricultural extension program to join Hantz Farms as president, has written a business plan that calls for the deployment of the latest in farm technology, from compost-heated greenhouses to hydroponic (water only, no soil) and aeroponic (air only) growing systems designed to maximize productivity in cramped settings.
He's really excited about apples. Hantz Farms will use a trellised system that's compact, highly efficient, and tourist-friendly. It won't be like apple picking in Massachusetts, and that's the point. Score wants visitors to Hantz Farms to see that agriculture is not just something that takes place in the countryside. They will be able to "walk down the row pushing a baby stroller," he promises.
Crop selection will depend on the soil conditions of the plots that Hantz acquires. Experts insist that most of the land is not irretrievably toxic. The majority of the lots now vacant in Detroit were residential, not industrial; the biggest problem is how compacted the soil is. For the most part the farms will focus on high-margin edibles: peaches, berries, plums, nectarines, and exotic greens. Score says that the first crops are likely to be lettuce and heirloom tomatoes.
Hantz says he's willing to put up the entire $30 million investment himself -- all cash, no debt -- and immediately begin hiring locally for full-time positions. But he wants two things first from Jackson at the DEGC: free tax-delinquent land, which he'll combine with his own purchases, he says (he's aiming for an average cost of $3,000 per acre, in line with rural farmland in southern Michigan), and a zoning adjustment that would create a new, lower tax rate for agriculture. There's no deal yet, but neither request strikes Jackson as unattainable. "If we have reasonable due diligence," he says, "I think we'll give it a shot."
Detroit mayor Dave Bing is watching closely. The Pistons Hall of Fame guard turned entrepreneur has had what his spokesman describes as "productive discussions" with Hantz. In a statement to Fortune, Bing says he's "encouraged by the proposals to bring commercial farming back to Detroit. As we look to diversify our economy, commercial farming has some real potential for job growth and rebuilding our tax base."
Hantz, for his part, says he's got three or four locations all picked out ("one of them will pop") and is confident he'll have seeds in the ground "in some sort of demonstration capacity" this spring. "Some things you've got to see in order to believe," he says, waving his cigar. "This is a thing you've got to believe in order to see."
Many have a hard time making that leap. When news of Hantz's ambitious plan broke in the Detroit papers last spring, few people even knew who he was. A little digging turned up a less-than-spotless record at Hantz Financial Services. The firm has paid fines totaling more than $1 million in the past five years, including $675,000 in 2005, without admitting or denying guilt, "for fraud and misrepresentations relating to undisclosed revenue-sharing arrangements, as well as other violations," according to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. (Hantz responds, "If we find something that isn't in compliance, we take immediate steps to correct the problem.")
Hantz Farms' first hire, VP Matt Allen, did have an established reputation in Detroit, but it wasn't a good one. Two years ago, while he was press secretary for former Detroit mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, Allen pleaded guilty to domestic violence and obstructing police after his wife called 911. He was sentenced to a year's probation. Hantz says he has known Allen for many years and values his deep knowledge of the city. "He has earned a second chance, and I'm willing to give it to him," he says.
Some of Hantz's biggest skeptics, ironically, are the same people who've been working to transform Detroit into a laboratory for urban farming for years, albeit on a much smaller scale. The nonprofit Detroit Agriculture Network counts nearly 900 urban gardens within the city limits. That's a twofold increase in two years, and it places Detroit at the forefront of a vibrant national movement to grow more food locally and lessen the nation's dependence on Big Ag.
None of those gardens is very big (average size: 0.25 acre), and they don't generate a lot of cash (most don't even try), but otherwise they're great: as antidotes to urban blight; sources of healthy, affordable food in a city that, incredibly, has no chain supermarkets; providers of meaningful, if generally unpaid, work to the chronically unemployed; and beacons around which disintegrating communities can begin to regather themselves.
That actually sounds a lot like what Hantz envisions his farms to be in the for-profit arena. But he doesn't have many fans among the community gardeners, who feel that Hantz is using his money and connections to capitalize on their pioneering work. "I'm concerned about the corporate takeover of the urban agriculture movement in Detroit," says Malik Yakini, a charter school principal and founder of the Detroit Black Community Food Security Network, which operates D-Town Farm on Detroit's west side. "At this point the key players with him seem to be all white men in a city that's at least 82% black."
Hantz, meanwhile, has no patience for what he calls "fear-based" criticism. He has a hard time concealing his contempt for the nonprofit sector generally. ("Someone must pay taxes," he sniffs.) He also flatly rejects the idea that he's orchestrating some kind of underhanded land grab. In fact, Hantz says that he welcomes others who might want to start their own farms in the city. "Viability and sustainability to me are all that matters," he says.
And yet Hantz is fully aware of the potentially historic scope of what he is proposing. After all, he's talking about accumulating hundreds, perhaps even thousands, of acres inside a major American city. And it's clear that he views Hantz Farms as his legacy. Already he's told his 21-year-old daughter, Lauren, his only heir, that if she wants to own the land one day, she has to promise him she'll never sell it. "This is like buying a penthouse in New York in 1940," Hantz says. "No one should be able to afford to do this ever again."
That might seem like an overly optimistic view of Detroit's future. But allow Hantz to dream a little. Twenty years from now, when people come to the city and have a drink at the bar at the top of the Renaissance Center, what will they see? Maybe that's not the right vantage point. Maybe they'll actually be on the farm, picking apples, looking up at the RenCen. "That's the beauty of being down and out," says Hantz. "You can actually open your mind to ideas that you would never otherwise embrace." At this point, Detroit doesn't have much left to lose.

LISTEN AKA, I DON'T THINK YOU'VE HEARD A WORD I'VE SAID!
Most of us consider listening a fundamental tool in healthy relationships, meaningful communication and civil discourse. And not listening leads to much of the misunderstanding and conflict we have in our lives and in our world.
At its finest, listening is about understanding in a way that the other person feels heard. We listen to understand.
Given that listening is such a universal and basic communication tool, why do so many of us blow it, either by our own admission or by the way others respond to us.
For starters, listening is a learned skill, and effective listening is sometimes counterintuitive. For example, it is normal and healthy to be assertive about getting our own needs met, but it is a death knell for effective listening when we chronically interrupt others in order to focus on ourselves and our own needs.
Sometimes interrupting others is nothing more than misplaced enthusiasm, but other times, it represents a power grab, competitiveness, and a need to exert control. Either way, the message is that you are more interested in listening to yourself than to the other person.
Do you want to master the art of listening? Begin by making an active decision to make listening your goal. Make a conscious effort to listen with no other intention than listening.
Create an environment that is conducive to listening. Sit down. Eliminate distractions by turning off your phone, your computer, your TV. Ensure privacy. Find a space where you will not be interrupted by others.
Stop talking. Learn to embrace silence, your own and the speaker's. Do not rush to fill a silence. Catch yourself when you interrupt; apologize.
Stay focused, avoiding the temptation to prepare mentally for your immediate reply, such as a brilliant pearl of wisdom, a fix, or advice.
Notice body language and tone of voice, yours and the speaker's. Nonverbal communication, both ways, is just as important as words.
Check for understanding when it feels appropriate, by repeating back to the person what you hear him saying. You want to be sure that you what you hear matches what he means to say.
When listening evolves into two-way communication, be careful about making judgments or giving advice. There is no need to rush to agree or disagree. Use open-ended questions rather than drawing conclusions.
Helping the speaker achieve a higher level of clarity for himself is the goal of questions.
Not every verbal exchange requires the same level of listening concentration. But every act of listening deserves the expression of your best self.
