Barney Frank To Chris Wallace: "You Have An Odd View Of Balance"
Following President Clinton's lead, Barney Frank criticized Chris Wallace yesterday of having an "odd view of balance" after asking questions about pressure from liberal activists, tax increases on the rich, abortion, gay rights, the "don't ask, don't tell" policy and the whole Pelosi-Hoyer-Murtha "controversy" -- issues that rank low on the Democratic agenda.
Later Rep. Dingell, who will chair the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, laid out which scandals he plans on investigating. Could Dingell be the reason Cheney is calling in the shredders ?
"I've got to say, Chris, you have an odd view of balance. [...] I am struck by the tenor of your questions. You advertise this as giving us a chance to talk about what we're going to do, but everything is aimed at trying to put us in a kind of a bad light and look at the most controversial and not very representative things that we plan to do."
Chris Wallace didn't complain---so was he admitting his bias? "Let me see if I can do better."

Journalism circle jerk: CBS obtains 94-page outline showing FBI and Chris Steele's use of media reporting
CBS News Catherine Herridge has obtained a 94-page spread sheet (pdf here) showing dates of media reports, dates of Steele reports on the same material, and the FBI effort to verify or validate the circular process. In essence this is evidence of the process we initially shared almost three years ago; only now we know the names.
(Article by sundance republished from TheConservativeTreehouse.com)
Former SSCI staffer Dan Jones, former Wall Street Journal reporter Glenn Simpson, and Simpson's crew at Fusion-GPS, pitched and planted phony Trump-Russia evidence with the media and simultaneously gave those fake points to Chris Steele to supplement the dossier. Using the same method of Ezra Klein's "JournOList" replication, Dan Jones and Fusion-GPS paid the journalists to run the stories.
…"media reports on FBI reports of media reports"…
Steele then used the same information from Jones and Fusion in his Dossier and cited the planted media reports; as evidence to substantiate. The Dossier is then provided to the FBI. The journalists then provide *indulgences* to the FBI as part of the collaboration.
The FBI, specifically Lisa Page, Peter Strzok and public information office Mike Kortan, then leak the outcomes of the FBI Dossier investigative processes to the same media that have reported on the originating material. It is all a big circle of planting and laundering the same originating false material; aka a "wrap up smear."
Here's the 94-page spread sheet:
Michael Isikoff highlighted the level of how enmeshed media is with the Fusion team in February 2018 when he admitted his reporting was being used by the DOJ and FBI to advance the political objectives of the intelligence community.
Additionally, FBI investigator Peter Strzok and FBI attorney Lisa Page were shown in their text messages to be leaking stories from the Clinton Investigation, the Trump investigation and the Mueller investigation to journalists at Politico, The Wall Street Journal and Washington Post. –SEE HERE–
FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe was busted by the Inspector General leaking stories to the media and then lying about it to INSD and IG investigators. FBI Director James Comey admitted to leaking stories to the New York Times, and even hired his friend Andrew Richman (off-the-books), gave him access to FBI and NSA databases, and then leaked information to Richman along with another friend Benjamin Wittes at Lawfare blog.
Lest we forget, the IG report on how the FBI handled the Clinton investigation revealed that dozens of FBI officials were actually taking bribes from the media for information:
IG REPORT – We identified numerous FBI employees, at all levels of the organization and with no official reason to be in contact with the media, who were nevertheless in frequent contact with reporters. Attached to this report as Attachments E and F are two link charts that reflect the volume of communications that we identified between FBI employees and media representatives in April/May and October 2016. We have profound concerns about the volume and extent of unauthorized media contacts by FBI personnel that we have uncovered during our review.
[…] We do not believe the problem is with the FBI's policy, which we found to be clear and unambiguous. Rather, we concluded that these leaks highlight the need to change what appears to be a cultural attitude among many in the organization. (link to pdf – page Xii of executive summary)
This is an IG fact-based criticism of the institution of the FBI, not simply a few rogue officials within it.
But wait…. Perspective:
Later it was revealed that Andrew Weissman, Robert Mueller's #1 special counsel prosecutor, was coordinating investigative efforts with the full support of four AP reporters who were giving Weissman tips. That's information from journalists to use in his court filings and submitted search warrants. Make sure you grasp this: The AP journalists were feeding information to their ideological allies within the special counsel.
Nuts; simply, well, nuts.
And then there's Devlin Barrett, Lisa Page and Peter Strzok:
(Source Link – pdf Page #5)
Additionally, Christopher Steele has stated in U.K. court records the person in charge of the Clinton Campaign's opposition research firm, Glenn Simpson from Fusion GPS, arranged and coordinated for Mr. Steele to talk to several journalists (CNN, The New York Times, The Washington Post, Yahoo News and Mother Jones) while Mr. Steele was also the primary source of information for the FBI investigators (including Strzok and Page):
(Source – page #8)
Make sure you read that full response from Christopher Steele above to see the scope of the media engagements he was conducting.
As more evidence surfaces the relationship between journalists, Fusion-GPS, Chris Steele and the media's DOJ/FBI sources begins blending together. The FBI was using media reports, which were based on Fusion-GPS pitches, to bolster its investigative documents to the FISA court. It is an intelligence laundry operation:
According to the U.K records, Christopher Steele reports this September 2016 meeting with Isikoff was arranged by Glenn Simpson. According to Michael Isikoff on his February podcast, he met Christopher Steele at a Washington, D.C. hotel in Sept. 2016. They were joined by his "old friend" Glenn Simpson, the founder of opposition research firm Fusion GPS, who Isikoff now defines as a "private investigator."
So Christopher Steele was meeting with journalists, the journalists were writing articles; the FBI was leaking to media and simultaneously citing those same articles as underlying evidence to support their counterintelligence investigations; and all of this was used to validate the investigative documents the FBI was receiving from Christopher Steele; who, along with the leaking FBI officials, was also the source of the media articles.
FUBAR! This is exponentially bonkers.
This is a circle of information, all coming from Dan Jones and Glenn Simpson at Fusion GPS, who was the opposition research firm being financed by Hillary Clinton, along with FBI officials who were using their own strategic leaks to validate their own investigation.
Think about the scale of the reporting, and reporting on reporting, of anonymous leaks, false leaks, lies from "people with knowledge of the matter", "government officials involved in the matter", "people familiar with the matter", "government sources" etc. all going in one unified and semi-coordinated direction – against the aggregate Trump administration.
Now, it actually gets even more convoluted.
Christopher Steele has sworn under oath that he met with multiple journalists (at least eight organizations) in September, mid-October, and late-October 2016: "at Fusion's instruction". (pdf page #7)
Overlay upon that sworn admission with what Glenn Simpson (Fusion-GPS) told the House Intelligence Committee while also under oath about his involvement in sharing information derived from Christopher Steele:
(Testimony – pdf link, page #147)
…"without my knowledge and against my wishes"?
FBI Director James Comey admits to leaking his 'memos' to the New York Times. FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe was busted for leaking and lying about it. FBI #2 Counterintelligence Agent Peter Strzok and FBI Attorney Lisa Page are caught in their text messages leaking to Politico, The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post.
…. AND the FBI is caught, in at least one FISA application, using Yahoo media reports provided by them AND their investigative source Christopher Steele to establish a basis for FISA "Title I" surveillance; the most intrusive and wide-open search and surveillance authority possible.
The Clinton Campaign is paying Fusion-GPS to conduct opposition research against Donald Trump. In addition to the collaboration between Dan Jones, Glenn Simpson pushed that opposition research into the media, and Fusion GPS is also providing that opposition research –including information from contacts with media– directly to the FBI:
(pdf link – page #4)
… In addition to using the Fusion-GPS opposition research to underpin their counterintelligence investigation, the FBI then turn around and leak the same opposition research information to the media to create secondary support for their counterintelligence investigation.
Tell me again how the media can possibly write about this now?
The problem is not just corruption with the U.S. Justice System, the DOJ and the FBI; the problem is corruption within the media.
We're talking about thousands of hours of media TV pundits, thousands more columns written, and almost every scintilla of it based on originating intelligence sources -from the larger intelligence system- that are now being exposed as duplicitous and conspiratorial in the scale of their malicious intent.
This larger story-line has traveled in one direction. The narrative has only traveled in one direction. Each thread converging on codependent trails for collective stories all going in one direction. One big engineered narrative endlessly pushed. Think about how far the collective media have traveled with this story over the past eighteen months?
Hell, twenty-something-year-old "journalists" were so committed to the resistance narrative they were even sleeping with their sources to get any little engineering angle possible.
Now, over a period of several years, it has become increasingly obvious the collective journey, using all that expended effort, was intentionally going in the wrong direction.
The media have fully invested themselves in four months of narrative distribution in only one direction. Not a single MSM entity has questioned their travel as a result of false leaks or false sources in the totality of time they have covered the DOJ and FBI story. They have even won Pulitzer prizes for writing stories about the lies and manufactured evidence.
Nothing within their collective need to will-an-outcome will change the media's proximity to facts as the truthful story behind the DOJ and FBI corruption is finally exposed. The media are so far away from the place where this story ends, they have no inherent capability to even begin to travel in the opposite direction, toward the truth.
The only way they could align with the truth is to admit that virtually every scintilla of their reportage over the past four years was inherently false or manipulated by the "sources" distributing the material for their willfully blind reporting.
There's not a single media outlet capable of doing that.
Think about a New York Times, CNN, New Yorker, Wall Street Journal, Mother Jones, Yahoo News or Washington Post journalist having to write an article deconstructing a foundation of four-years worth of lies they participated in creating.
Do we really think such a catastrophic level of corrupted journalism could reconstitute into genuine reporting of fact-based information?

Michelin-star samosas from the chippy: Sat Bains launches a new takeaway with his 70-year-old mother
Despite not being able to give his mother a hug for nine months, chef Sat Bains is working with her on a new venture celebrating her recipes

Ordinarily, the kitchens of Restaurant Sat Bains in Nottingham would be buzzing with the sounds and smells of 12 chefs busily preparing the components of the 10-course tasting menu that has earned the chef two Michelin stars. Today, however, it is a batch of samosas that Bains and his team are meticulously making – under the watchful eye of his 70-year-old mother, Tarsem.
The samosas are one of a number of traditional Indian dishes coming out of Bains's kitchen as part of a new project in partnership with – you guessed it – his mum.
"My heritage is Punjabi, and so although I've spent my cheffing career cooking French and British cuisine I was brought up on aloo gobi and saag," explains Bains, who is up bright and early before a day of rolling, wrapping and frying the savoury pastries. "As a kid I always hated it; I just wanted bangers and mash when I got home! But when you leave, you begin to crave those homely flavours. You never know what you have until it's gone, and I found myself really missing the taste of mum's saag."
From this Saturday, #Mommabains traditional home-made samosas, chickpea curry and imli (a sweet, tart tamarind chutney) will be available in a handful of chip shops around the UK – outlets more suited to Michelin-starred Bains's new creations than you might think.
With his restaurant closed during lockdown and Bains reluctant to offer a cook-at-home box like so many others ("I'm not sure of the practicalities of compressing a 10-course menu into a box"), he had been mulling the idea of a new venture for a while. It became tangible just before the second lockdown, discussed over a few drinks with John Molner, owner of award-winning fish and chip shop The Cod's Scallops which has four branches around Nottingham. "Samosas are perfectly suited to a fish and chip shop, when you think about it," says Bains, "They're handheld, fried and a good vegetarian option. So, Molner offered to sell some of mum's from his shops."
After visiting the temple where his mother volunteers to learn the ropes of samosa-making from the women in the community, Bains hired a test kitchen and set to work. "The difficulty is these recipes aren't usually measured – everything is done by eye. As a chef working in a professional kitchen, we have to standardise ingredients to create consistency. So, when creating the recipes, mum cooked the dishes and we weighed out everything she was using." This was all done throughout the lockdown, meaning social distancing measures had to be put in place, too.

With their recipes finalised, Bains and his team (he has been able to keep on all 12 chefs) have set to work shaping samosas and cooking curries to meet the demand of their first set of orders. "Yesterday we managed to make 1,700 samosas in an hour and 55 minutes. When I told mum she was shocked; we're faster than the women, now!"
To start with, Bains's samosas, chickpea curry and imli will be available to buy from the Nottingham and East Midlands branches of The Cod's Scallops, No.1 Cromer in Norfolk, and Rick Stein's fish and chip takeaways in Fistral and Padstow, Cornwall. "We're hoping to launch three more curries in the next few months," Bains says. "An aubergine sabzi, aloo gobi and a lentil dhal – and expand to more venues. Eventually, we want to launch a box for customers to buy online containing all the curries." Bains has been careful to select takeaway locations that offer vegetable oil fryers, making the samosas both vegetarian and vegan-friendly.

News of the project is music to the ears of other Michelin-star chefs who are already well acquainted with Tarsem's food. "Momma Bains has something of a legendary status among the other chefs," laughs Bains. "Michel Roux Jr took a takeaway of her food when he visited a few years ago, and Claude Bosi loves her samosas. Only the other month Tommy Banks was trying to find a chickpea dish to put in his at-home boxes, and she made him her samosas. I think they like her food more than mine!"
Will Bains have the time to continue with the project when his restaurant is eventually allowed to open? "We're fortunate in that we only operate four days a week, from Wednesday to Sunday. My plan is to have a team working on the #Mommabains dishes one day a week, which will hopefully fulfil the demand."
It's clear that to Bains, this is far more than a stop-gap project. "I'm always looking to do something on the side of what we do in the restaurants," he says. "We're a two-Michelin-star restaurant and I'm well aware that this means we're not accessible to everyone. Food like samosas and curry, though, it's as humble as you get. Samosas are comfort, they're about sharing – this kind of food is what I think has become especially important during lockdown.
"I haven't been able to hug my mum for nine months; she's 70 and has asthma, so we have had to be very careful. But it's great to see her involved in the business. She's a shareholder and consultant, and so will oversee everything that gets made in the kitchen. It's been such a great experience, I'm looking forward to seeing where it goes."

Laurent Giles unveils 110-metre HEMY concept
Super-slender 110-metre concept from Laurent Giles offers fuel efficiency gains
TAGS: Laurent Giles
The 110-metre HEMY (High Efficiency Motor Yacht) concept from Laurent Giles aims to deliver superior performance and fuel efficiency compared to a typical 75-metre yacht. "The concept was to start with a typical 70-75-metre yacht and lengthen the hull to offer increased interior volume and remain within a 3,000 GT limit. Not only does the HEMY offer increased accommodation volume, but with its more efficient length/beam ratio and lighter displacement/length, it offers significant improvements in performance and seakeeping," says David Lewis, managing director of Laurent Giles. "If the HEMY concept had the same power as a typical 75 metre, it would achieve speed improvements of two to three knots, and can achieve the same cruising or top speed for about 65% of the power, with corresponding savings in fuel consumption."
Laurent Giles says that a typical modern superyacht packs in as much accommodation within a given length, increasing the beam and superstructure, and producing heavy and hydrodynamically inefficient vessels operating at high speed-length ratios and requiring high power to achieve this. "Naval architects have long known that, for a given speed, the longer, leaner and lighter the vessel the better in terms of performance and efficiency, but the superyacht market largely ignores this," Laurent Giles says. The low hydrodynamic drag of the hull form of the 110-metre HEMY, which has a 12.5-metre beam, is enhanced by a low, simple superstructures to reduce windage drag and keep the centre of gravity low. The yacht will also sport a hybrid diesel-electric propulsion system.

A Covent Garden Gilflurt's Guide to Life
Glorious Georgian dispatches from the quill of Catherine Curzon...
Catherine Curzon
Being Mr Wickham
Writing & Appearances
An Unequal Marriage – The People Behind the Fiction
Take a trip to Calke Abbey in the company of Joana Starnes, Jane Austen and some illustrious residents!
Amid the rolling countryside of South Derbyshire, there is a great house, Calke Abbey, home of the Harpurs for over 360 years. The family fortunes were founded in the middle of the 16th century by Richard Harpur, a successful lawyer who rose to be one of the judges of the Court of the Common Pleas at Westminster and the Chief Justice of the County Palatinate of Lancaster. To the considerable estate built during the course of his career, he added through an auspicious marriage that established the Harpurs as one of the most notable landowners in the area.
His descendants did not fail to make him proud and the family fortunes grew and grew. By the 18th century, in the words of the historian William Wooley, the Harpurs were 'reckoned the best landed Family of any Commoners in this or any of the neighbouring Countys'.
Enter Sir Henry Harpur-Crewe, the 7th baronet, who inherited the estate at only 25 years of age, and thus became one of the richest and most eligible landowners in Derbyshire, with an income of £10000 a year. ('Ten thousand a year, my dear, and very likely more!')
His portrait catches the visitors' eye as soon as they walk into the saloon. On a background of sun-tinted clouds and imposing columns stands the future baronet alongside his mother. He was only three when the portrait was painted so, as was the custom of the time, he was immortalised wearing long cream skirts adorned with a wide sash. The attire, along with the very delicate features and the angelic smile, could easily lead the unsuspecting to think it was the portrait of a very beautiful little girl.
His features retained their delicate beauty as he grew older and a 1784 pastel shows him as a good-looking albeit rather solemn young man.
And solemn he was indeed. His French tutor remarked during his Grand Tour that while he had an unusual amount of knowledge for a young Englishman of his age, he also had an equally unusual taste for solitude. To his relations' dismay, this did not change when he came into his inheritance, but it was not long until they had a great deal more to worry about. Sir Henry Harpur fell in love with a young lady well beneath his station – a lady's maid no less, with whom he lived in a small house in Calke Park before committing the ultimate impropriety and marrying her. There is great gentleness and outstanding beauty in Lady Harpur's likeness (Miss Nanette Hawkins as was), so the romantic might choose to believe that she was as sweet and kind as the portrait shows her and that, regardless of what society thought, she was a blessing for the very sensitive and unsociable young man. For the world at large the union was a mésalliance, but Sir Henry cared little for their disapproval and spent his life in isolation at Calke with his pheasants, his wife and their eight surviving children.
He was not the first nor the last to cross class boundaries. Some chose to cross even wider gulfs, as was the case with Sir Harry Fetherstonhaugh of Uppark who married his dairymaid in 1825, when he was over seventy and she barely twenty. Compared to the strong reaction such unequal marriages must have elicited in fashionable circles, a gentleman of ten thousand a year marrying a lady's companion, a gentlewoman fallen on hard times, would have caused far less noticeable ripples.
This is the premise I have chosen for my latest Pride & Prejudice variation, 'Miss Darcy's Companion'.
The gentlewoman fallen on hard times is of course Miss Elizabeth Bennet who, after her father's passing, felt compelled to make her own way into the world. Thus she gets to see Mr Darcy's Pemberley persona first, his best side, rather than the one he would present to strangers at a country town assembly. As for Mr Darcy, he gets to appreciate Miss Bennet's sterling qualities and her bewitching self without the millstone of her loud-mouthed and mortifying relations. But what of the burden of expectations placed on him, what of the duty to his lineage and estate? Would Mr Darcy cross boundaries to follow his heart, despite all the obstacles of which he is well aware?
"So what now?"
"What are you asking?" Darcy parried the question with another, although he knew precisely what Fitzwilliam's meaning was, just as well as his cousin knew that he was stalling. But he was indulged nevertheless and the other elaborated:
"Will you marry her?"
Darcy sighed.
"I have not had a chance to put two thoughts together. This is all… very sudden. And there is much to consider, Georgiana's prospects high up on that list. How would it look on her coming out if her former companion had become her sister? Several years ago Sir Henry Harpur of Calke married his mother's lady's maid, and still no one receives them. Harpur could not care less, but then he had always been somewhat of a recluse and kept his distance from society, fashionable or otherwise. I do not have that luxury. Still, having said that, there is a world of difference between a lady's maid and a lady's companion."
The sigh was echoed from the other side of the large desk.
"Not to some. And, needless to say, my relations would be of no assistance. Pater would be as mad as snakes and my brother's sweet wife would be spitting feathers," Fitzwilliam chortled ruefully.
"As would Lady Catherine, but that is no surprise. Even your mother, for all her understanding kindness, would say that I could have chosen a vast deal better."
"And so you could. There is no doubting that."
(Miss Darcy's Companion ~ Chapter 11)
If this premise intrigues you, dear readers, please leave a comment for a chance to win a Kindle copy of 'Miss Darcy's Companion', available internationally, and thanks for stopping by to meet Sir Henry.
Many thanks, Catherine, it was so kind of you to welcome me here today to talk about the people who, to some extent, have inspired my fiction. I say to some extent because unlike Sir Henry Harpur-Crewe, Mr Darcy would never be an eccentric recluse, nor would he set up house with a mistress, somewhere on the estate. But it is reassuring to know or at least imagine that there was a real-life Georgian gentleman of ten thousand a year who followed his heart and married someone who made him happy.

I was told Fetherstonhaugh was pronounced Fanshaw. I have your book, Joana, and I keep reading older ones on my to-read list first to make it fair, but I'm weakening! I like your other books and look forward to Miss Darcy's Companion. Enjoyable post. To Mme Gilflurt--is it two more sleeps until the big day? Exciting to say the least! Thanks to both of you1
I checked out Calke Abbey on Wikipedia. An American lumber baron was discovered to be a long lost heir. His family still has an apartment in the now-National Trust building. I wouldn't mind discovering I was heir to a pied-à-terre in Derbyshire. Anyway, Ms. Starnes' book looks quite enjoyable.

Thanks for the kind words and the tip, Suzan. Fanshaw - that's amazing, I never would have thought of that. Never would have thought he'd get away with marrying his dairy maid either ;) Best of luck and thanks for still following the blog tour!
What a discovery it must have been :) Calke can inspire mixed feelings, it was deliberately kept by the National Trust in the state it was when it was donated to them, so that it would show the decline of the country house. Part of the rooms are still splendid (I LOVE the print room covered in caricatures!) but some are in a state of heartbreaking decay (the day- and night nursery in particular, so sad!). So the lumber baron might have had mixed feelings when he saw it, but it's still a gorgeous pied-a-terre to have.
So glad you think you might enjoy Miss Darcy's Companion! Best of luck in the giveaway and I hope you'll like it.

It is indeed pronounced Fanshaw. I remember my year 10 history teacher threatening to change her name to Cholombleigh- Fetherstonehaugh (pronounced Chumley Fanshaw) and taking marks off anyone who spelled it wrongly on their exams. ;-)
Vesper said...
That is a big difference in years between Sir Harry Fetherstonhaugh and his wife, had to imagine. At least between the Darcy's it will be less.

A fascinating look at true love. I can't help but think it was a brave thing Henry Harpur-Crewe did when he married the maid.
A fascinating history ... and gives one pause to wonder if JA was aware of this episode (I have no doubt she was) and that it influenced her when she was drawing her portrait of Mr Darcy and her story of P&P? This book sounds intriguing, that it will be a very interesting read ...
That sounds like a history teacher with a wicked sense of humour :D Thanks for the giggle!
Yes indeed :) Much less, thank goodness. Thanks, Vesper, for visiting and commenting!
I think so too. A very brave thing indeed. Thanks for the lovely comment :)
She seems to have known so much about what was going on in the outer world, the amazing lady that she was!
Thanks for reading and commenting, so glad you liked the post and found Miss D's Companion intriguing. Best of luck in the giveaway and thanks for taking part.
Intriguing history about a very taboo subject 'back in the day'! The hormones never stop raging...! #ArchiveDay
Indeed ;) Some things never change. Thanks for stopping by to read the post, Carol, so glad you found it intriguing.

So interesting! Thanks for the bit of a history lesson. I can't wait to read and find out how you torture Elizabeth! :)

Software libre para una sociedad libre (título original: Free Software Free Society: Selected Essays of Richard M. Stallman) es un libro que recopila diversos ensayos de Richard M. Stallman, fundador de la Fundación del Software Libre. Fue publicado en 2002 bajo la GNU Free Documentation License. El manuscrito ha recibido al día de hoy dos actualizaciones. La primera data del 2010 (segunda edición) y la segunda del 2015 (tercera edición). Existe una traducción al español correspondiente a la primera edición del libro que fue publicada en el año 2004 y realizada por la editorial de Traficantes de Sueños.

Contenido
Su introducción escrita por Lawrence Lessig, profesor de derecho de la Universidad de Stanford, destaca que hoy el mundo está cada vez más definido por el código que hace funcionar los ordenadores, máquinas que definen y gobiernan cada vez más nuestras vidas. Richard M. Stallman propone que el código sea transparente, libre, para ejercer el control sobre dicho código y que no nos controle él a nosotros. Lessig realiza una analogía con las leyes que rigen nuestras sociedades también consideradas libres. Las leyes regulan nuestra sociedad, pero las leyes no son secretas. De lo contrario no tendríamos una sociedad libre. Las normas no se esconden y la libertad sólo está cuando las normas pueden ser conocidas por los gobernados o sus agentes (abogados y parlamentarios). Los procesos legales también son transparentes: todo lo que en ellos se dice o hace puede ser luego reutilizado en futuros pleitos sin permiso de sus autores originales y con compensación económica por dicho trabajo. Lessig denota este paralelismo con el código informático libre. El libro recoge los artículos y conferencias de Richard Stallman y abarcan desde el copyright (y el copyleft empleado por la licencia GPL) hasta la historia del movimiento del software libre.

Primera edición
De la edición en español:La primera edición contiene un total de 21 ensayos escritos entre 1984 y 2002 sobre ética, derecho, negocios y sus implicaciones en el software. Incluyen el manifiesto de GNU así como transcripciones de diversas charlas. Publicada en el 2002 (2004 para la edición en español). El libro se divide en tres partes, e incluye una cuarta con las licencias GNU:

Tercera edición
Publicada en el 2015. La tercera edición conserva la misma estructura de la segunda edición añadiendo nuevos ensayos referentes a, entre otros, videojuegos con DRM, E-Books y la cuestión de la vigilancia por agencias gubernamentales. Como los anteriores, realiza un análisis de las implicaciones de los nuevos elementos que afectan a nuestra sociedad.

Repercusión
Es un libro de referencia dentro del movimiento del software libre y recomendado por profesores y columnistas de distintas instituciones por ser una pieza fundamental en la comunicación de las ideas del software libre.Marco Fioretti realizó un análisis del libro para la revista Linux Journal en el cual califica al manuscrito como una lectura necesaria no sólo para programadores. En palabras de Fioretti «es crucial que todo el mundo piense acerca de estos problemas, saque sus propias conclusiones y las siga. Incluso si rechazas las ideas de Stallman, debes saber porqué, y este libro te ayudará».

Q: Need to close a q-popup-proxy with a button click from another component I have this q-popup-proxy
<q-btn label="Add Fault" class="addFaultButton" dense @click="openPopUp()">
  <q-popup-proxy position="center" v-if="openFaults">
    <FaultListPicker />
  </q-popup-proxy>
</q-btn>

with this in the setup
    let openFaults = computed(() => store.closeFaultPopup);
    function openPopUp() {
      store.closeFaultPopup = true;
      console.log('st ', store.closeFaultPopup)
    }

and this for the cancel button in the component the popup displays
    function Cancel() {
      console.log('cancel');
      store.closeFaultPopup = false;
    }

It almost works. I have to click the open button twice to get it to open. Upon the first click I see the console log and it says its true. The cancel button works - when I click cancel it goes away. How can I get this to work?
Thanks

A: I changed v-if to v-model and it works

\section{\ensuremath{B_{s}^{0}}\ Mixing}

In the $\ensuremath{B_{s}^{0}}$ system, the mass eigenstates $B^0_{sL}$ and $B^0_{sH}$
are admixtures of the flavor eigenstates $\ensuremath{B_{s}^{0}}$ and $\ensuremath{\overline{B}_{s}^{0}}$.  This
causes oscillations between the $\ensuremath{B_{s}^{0}}$ and $\ensuremath{\overline{B}_{s}^{0}}$ states with a
frequency proportional to the mass difference of the mass eigenstates,
$\Delta m_s\equiv m_H - m_L$. In the Standard Model this effect is
explained in terms of second-order weak processes involving virtual
massive particles that provide a transition amplitude between the
$\ensuremath{B_{s}^{0}}$ and $\ensuremath{\overline{B}_{s}^{0}}$ states. The magnitude of this mixing amplitude is
proportional to the oscillation frequency, while its phase,
responsible for CP~violation in $\ensuremath{\Bs \to  \Jpsi \phi}$ decays, is
$-2\beta_s^{\textit{SM}} = -2\arg\left(-{V_{ts}V_{tb}^*\over
V_{cs}V_{cb}^*}\right)$~\cite{Ref:Nierste}, where $V_{ij}$ are the
elements of the CKM quark mixing matrix.  The presence of physics
beyond the Standard Model could contribute additional processes and
modify the magnitude or the phase of the mixing amplitude.  The recent
precise measurement of the oscillation frequency from CDF
$\Delta M_s = 17.77 \pm 0.10 \stat \pm 0.07 \syst~{\rm ps^{-1}}$ ~\cite{Ref:BsMixing}
indicates that contributions of  New Physics to the magnitude, if any,
are extremely small~\cite{Ref:Ligeti}.  Global fits of experimental
data tightly constrain the CP~phase to small values in the
context of the Standard Model, $2\beta_s^{\textit{SM}}\approx
0.04$~\cite{Ref:HFAG}.  However, New Physics may contribute
significantly larger values~\cite{Ref:Ligeti,Ref:Nierste2}.  The
observed CP~phase can be expressed as $2\beta_s =
2\beta_s^{\textit{SM}} - \phi_s^{\textit{NP}}$, where
$\phi_s^{\textit{NP}}$ is due to the additional processes.  The
decay-width difference between the mass eigenstates,
$\Delta\Gamma_s\equiv\Gamma_{L}-\Gamma_{H}$, is also sensitive to the same
New Physics phase.  If $\phi_s^{\textit{NP}}\gg
2\beta_s^{\textit{SM}}$, we expect $\Delta\Gamma_s =
2|\Gamma_{12}|\cos(2\beta_s)$~\cite{Ref:Nierste2}, where
$|\Gamma_{12}|$ is the off-diagonal element of the $\ensuremath{B_{s}^{0}}$-$\ensuremath{\overline{B}_{s}^{0}}$ decay
matrix from the Schroedinger equation describing the time evolution of
$\ensuremath{B_{s}^{0}}$ mesons~\cite{Ref:Kuhr}.

Recent studies of $\ensuremath{\Bs \to  \Jpsi \phi}$ decays
without identification of the initial flavor of the $\ensuremath{B_{s}^{0}}$
meson~\cite{Ref:Kuhr,Ref:D0} have provided information on
$\Delta\Gamma_s$ and have some limited sensitivity to the
CP~phase.

Assuming CP conservation (a good approximation
for the \ensuremath{B_{s}^{0}}\ system in the Standard Model)
CDF  collaboration measured the mean lifetime, $\tau_s=2/(\Gamma_{L}+\Gamma_H)=
1.52 \pm 0.04\stat \pm 0.02\syst$~ps, and the
decay-width difference, $\Delta\Gamma_s= 0.076^{+0.059}_{-0.063}\stat
\pm 0.006\syst$~ps$^{-1}$ \cite{Ref:Kuhr}, of the light and heavy mass eigenstates,
in \ensuremath{\Bs \to  \Jpsi \phi}\ decays using $1.7$~\lumifb\ of data.
The measured value of $\Delta\Gamma_s$ agrees with the expected Standard Model value of 0.096~ps$^{-1}$
\cite{Ref:Nierste}. Assuming CP violation, $2\beta_s$ free to vary in the fit,
CDF collaboration obtained an agreement at 1.2 Gaussian standard deviations with respect to the
SM expectation ($\Delta\Gamma_s \approx 0.1$ ps$^{-1}$ and $2\beta_s \approx 0$).

With a similar analysis, using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.1 fb$^{-1}$,
D\O\ collaboration obtained a similar result. They measured
$\Delta \Gamma_s = 0.17 \pm 0.09\stat\pm 0.02\syst$~ps$^{-1}$ and
the CP-violating phase $\phi _{s} = -2\beta_{s}=-0.79 \pm 0.56\stat^{+0.14}_{-0.01}\syst$~\cite{Ref:D0}.
Under the hypothesis of  no CP violation ($\phi _{s} \equiv 0$), D\O\ obtained
$\tau_s =1.52\pm 0.08\stat ^{+0.01}_{-0.03}\syst$~ps and
$\Delta \Gamma_s =0.12 ^{+0.08} _{-0.10} \pm 0.02$ ps$^{-1}$~\cite{Ref:D0}.

CDF reported also the first determination of bounds on the
$\textit{CP}$-violation parameter $2\beta_s$ using $\ensuremath{B_{s}^{0}}$ decays in
which the flavor of the bottom meson at production is identified
(flavor tagging). Such information is necessary to separate the time evolution of mesons
produced as $\ensuremath{B_{s}^{0}}$ or $\ensuremath{\overline{B}_{s}^{0}}$.  By relating this time development with
the CP~eigenvalue of the final states, which is accessible
through the angular distributions of the $\ensuremath{J/\psi}$ and $\phi$ mesons, it is possible
to obtain direct sensitivity to the CP-violating phase.
This CDF result is based on approximately $2000$ $\ensuremath{\Bs \to  \Jpsi \phi}$ decays
reconstructed in a 1.35~fb$^{-1}$ data sample.
Assuming the Standard Model predictions of $2\beta_s$ and $\Delta\Gamma_s$, the
probability of a deviation as large as the level of the observed data
is 15\%, corresponding to 1.5 Gaussian standard deviations \cite{Ref:Kuhr_tagged}.
Treating $\Delta\Gamma_s$ as a nuisance parameter and fitting only for $2\beta_s$, CDF measured
that $2\beta_s\in[0.32,2.82]$ at the 68\% confidence level~\cite{Ref:Kuhr_tagged}.

An alternative way of accessing $\phi_s$ is through the relation
$A_{SL}^s = \frac{\Delta \Gamma_s} {\Delta M_s} \tan{\phi_s}$
where the semileptonic charge asymmetry is defined as \cite{Ref:PDG}:
$A_{SL}^s = \frac{ N(\bar B_s^0 \to \ell^+ X) - N(B_s^0 \to \ell^- X) }
 { N(\bar B_s^0 \to \ell^+ X) + N(B_s^0 \to \ell^- X) }$.
D\O\ collaboration measured   $A_{SL}^s$ directly by
 using  all events with at least one muon
that were consistent with the sequential decay
 $B_s^0 \to \mu \nu D_s$ with $D_s \to \phi \pi$  \cite{Ref:2bs_combination}:
$A_{SL}^s = +0.0245 \pm 0.0193~\stat \pm 0.0035~\syst$,
and by using the same-sign dimuon charge asymmetry \cite{Ref:acp_semiletonic}
$A_{SL}^s = -0.0064 \pm 0.0101$ \cite{Ref:2bs_combination}.
Their combination gives the best estimate of the charge asymmetry in semileptonic $B_s^0$ decays:
$A_{SL}^s = 0.0001 \pm 0.0090$.
D\O\ combined the  measurement of
the width difference between the light  and
heavy  $B_s^0$ mass eigenstates
and of the CP-violating mixing phase determined from
 the time-dependent angular
distributions in the \ensuremath{\Bs \to  \Jpsi \phi}\ decays along with the charge asymmetry in
semileptonic  decays.
With the additional constraint from the
world average of the flavor-specific $B_s^0$  lifetime, D\O\ obtained
$\Delta \Gamma_s$ = 0.13 $\pm$ 0.09  ps$^{-1}$ and
$\phi _{s} = -0.70 ^{+0.47} _{-0.39}$.

In a very recent paper, UTfit collaboration combined all the available experimental
information on \ensuremath{B_{s}^{0}}\ mixing, including these very recent results from
CDF and D\O\ collaborations \cite{Ref:Utfit_phi_s}.
The phase of the \ensuremath{B_{s}^{0}}\ mixing amplitude deviates more than $3\sigma$ from the Standard Model prediction.
While no single measurement has a $3\sigma$ significance yet, all the constraints
show a remarkable agreement with the combined result. This is a first evidence
of physics beyond the Standard Model. This result disfavours New Physics models
with Minimal Flavour Violation with the same significance.

CDF and D\O\ have analysed only a first part of data ($\approx 1.1-1.35~\lumifb$). They
have on tape already $\approx 3~\lumifb$ and
expect to collect a data sample of $\approx 6~\lumifb$ by the year 2010. The prospects
for the near future are very interesting, CDF and D\O\  will probe soon
this first evidence of New Physics measuring a more precise CP-violating phase.

\section{$D^0$ Mixing}

In 2007 the first evidence of charm mixing was presented by
the \mbox{$B$-Factories}\ \cite{Ref:babar_mixing,Ref:belle_mixing}.
CDF also reported recently an evidence of charm mixing in an analysis of 1.5~\lumifb\ of data.
Charm mixing is highly suppressed compared with that of the bottom and
strange sectors because, since the charm is an up-type quark, top cannot
participate in the mixing loop. CDF can exploit its large samples of charm mesons
($3.044\times10^6$ ``right-sign'' $D^{\star+}\to D^0\pi^+ \to [K^-\pi^+]\pi^+$ and
$12.7\times 10^3$ ``wrong-sign'' $D^{\star+}\to D^0\pi^+ \to [K^+\pi^-]\pi^+$) making an analysis of such
small mixing rate variable. The wrong-sign decays are the result of either $D^0$
mixing or doubly Cabibbo suppressed decays. The ratio of the wrong-sign to
right-sign events as a function of $D^0$ decay time probes the charm sector mixing
parameters $x^{\prime}$ and $y^{\prime}$:
$R(t)=R_{D}+y^{\prime}\sqrt{R_{D}}t+(x^{\prime 2}+ y^{\prime 2})t^2/4$.
CDF collaboration measured the time dependence of this ratio
in a range of proper decay time between 0.75 and
10 mean $D^0$ lifetimes, obtaining
the mixing parameters to be
$R_D = (3.04 \pm0.55) \times 10^{-3}$, $y' = (8.5 \pm 7.6) \times 10^{-3}$, and $x'^2 =
(-0.12 \pm 0.35) \times 10^{-3}$ \cite{Ref:cdf_mixing}.
CDF also reported Bayesian probability contours in the $x'^2-y'$ plane finding
that the data are inconsistent with the no-mixing hypothesis with
a probability equivalent to 3.8 Gaussian standard deviations \cite{Ref:cdf_mixing} in agreement
with \mbox{$B$-Factories}\ results.

The prospects for the future are very promising, CDF will collect
$\approx 6~\lumifb$ by the year 2010 and could observe for the first time the $D^0$ oscillations.

\section{Search for the rare \ensuremath{\Bn \rightarrow \mu^{+}\mu^{-}}\ decays}

Processes involving flavor-changing neutral currents (FCNCs) provide excellent
signatures with which to search for evidence of New Physics since they have small branching fractions in the
Standard Model (SM), while New Physics contributions can provide a significant enhancement.
The FCNC decays $\ensuremath{B_{s}^{0}} (\ensuremath{B^{0}}) \rightarrow \mu^+\mu^-$ occur in the SM only through higher order diagrams and are
further suppressed by the helicity factor, $(m_\mu/m_B)^2$.
The $\ensuremath{B^{0}}$ decay is also suppressed with respect to the $\ensuremath{B_{s}^{0}}$ decay
by the ratio of CKM elements, $\left|V_{td}/V_{ts}\right|^2$.
The SM expectations for these branching fractions are
$\ensuremath{\mathcal{B}}(\ensuremath{\Bs \rightarrow \mu^{+}\mu^{-}}) = (3.42\pm0.54)\times10^{-9}$ and $\ensuremath{\mathcal{B}}(\ensuremath{\Bd \rightarrow \mu^{+}\mu^{-}}) = (1.00\pm0.14)\times10^{-10}$~\cite{smbr}.

Enhancements to \ensuremath{\Bs \rightarrow \mu^{+}\mu^{-}}\ and \ensuremath{\Bd \rightarrow \mu^{+}\mu^{-}}\ occur in many New Physics models.
In general, the search for these rare
decays is central to exploring a large class of New Physics models \cite{tanb,rparity,dark,chi2,nmfv}.

Both CDF and D\O\ collaborations have performed a search for \ensuremath{\Bs \rightarrow \mu^{+}\mu^{-}}\ and \ensuremath{\Bd \rightarrow \mu^{+}\mu^{-}}\ decays in $p\bar{p}$ collisions
at $\sqrt{s} = 1.96$~TeV using 2~\lumifb\ of integrated luminosity.
The observed number of \ensuremath{B_{s}^{0}}\ and \ensuremath{B^{0}}\ candidates is consistent with background expectations in both
experiments.   The resulting upper limits on the branching fractions are
$\ensuremath{\mathcal{B}}(\ensuremath{\Bs \rightarrow \mu^{+}\mu^{-}}) < 5.8\times10^{-8}$ and $\ensuremath{\mathcal{B}}(\ensuremath{\Bd \rightarrow \mu^{+}\mu^{-}}) < 1.8\times10^{-8}$ at $95\%$ C.L. for CDF
\cite{Ref:cdf_Bmumu} and $\ensuremath{\mathcal{B}}(\ensuremath{\Bs \rightarrow \mu^{+}\mu^{-}}) < 9.3\times10^{-8}$ at $95\%$ C.L. for D\O\ \cite{Ref:D0_Bmumu}.

Tevatron experiments observe no evidence for New Physics and set limits that are the most stringent
to date.
These limits place further constraints on
new-physics models~\cite{tanb,rparity,dark,chi2,nmfv}, and complement direct searches for New Physics.
We expect the analysis sensitivity to continue to improve as we include larger data sets.

\section{Measurements of \ensuremath{\Bn \rightarrow h^{+}h^{'-}}\  decays}

CDF experiment analysed an integrated luminosity of 1~\lumifb\ sample of pairs of oppositely-charged particles
and reconstructed a sample of 14500 \ensuremath{\Bn \rightarrow h^{+}h^{'-}}\ decay modes (where $h= K~{\rm or}~ \pi$) after the off-line confirmation
of trigger requirements.
In the off-line analysis, the selection cuts was aimed to  minimize the expected uncertainty of the physics
observables to be measured (through several ``pseudo-experiments'').
Two different sets of cuts have been used, respectively optimized
to measure the \CP\ asymmetry \ensuremath{A_{\mathsf{CP}}(\bdkpi)}\
and to improve the sensitivity for discovery and limit setting~\cite{gp0308063} of the not yet observed \ensuremath{\Bs \rightarrow K^- \pi^+}\ mode.
The resolution in invariant mass and in particle identification (\ensuremath{\mathit{dE/dx}}) is not
sufficient for separating the individual \ensuremath{\Bn \rightarrow h^{+}h^{'-}}\ decay modes on an event-by-event basis,
therefore a maximum likelihood fit was performed. This combines kinematic and particle identification information
to statistically determine both the contribution of each mode,
and the relative contributions to the CP asymmetries.
Significant signals are seen for \ensuremath{\Bd \rightarrow \pi^+ \pi^-}, \ensuremath{\Bd \rightarrow K^{+} \pi^-}, and \ensuremath{\Bs \rightarrow  K^+ K^-}\ previously observed by CDF~\cite{paper_bhh}.
Three new rare modes were observed for the first time \ensuremath{\Bs \rightarrow K^- \pi^+}, \ensuremath{\Lambda_{b}^{0} \rightarrow p\pi^{-}}\ and \ensuremath{\Lambda_{b}^{0} \rightarrow pK^{-}},
with a significance respectively of $8.2 \sigma$, $6.0 \sigma$ and $11.5 \sigma$.
No evidence was obtained for \ensuremath{\Bs \rightarrow  \pi^+ \pi^-} or  \ensuremath{\Bd \rightarrow  K^+ K^-}\ mode.

The branching fraction of the newly observed mode
$\ensuremath{\mathcal{B}}(\ensuremath{\Bs \rightarrow K^- \pi^+})=(5.0 \pm 0.75 \pm 1.0)\times 10^{-6}$~\cite{morello_beauty} is in agreement with the latest
theoretical expectation \cita{zupan}, which is lower than  the previous predictions \cite{B-N,Yu-Li-Cai}.
For the first time CDF measured in the \ensuremath{B_{s}^{0}}\ meson system
the direct \CP\ asymmetry $\ensuremath{\acp(\BsKpi)}=0.39 \pm 0.15 \pm 0.08$~\cite{morello_beauty}.
This value favors a large \CP\ violation in  \ensuremath{B_{s}^{0}}\ meson decays,
although it is also compatible with zero.
In Refs.~\cite{Gronau-BsKpi,Lipkin-BsKpi}  a robust test of the Standard Model or a probe of New Physics is suggested by
comparison of the direct \CP\ asymmetries in  \ensuremath{\Bs \rightarrow K^- \pi^+}\ and \ensuremath{\Bd \rightarrow K^{+} \pi^-}\ decays.
Using HFAG input~\cite{hfag07} CDF collaboration measured for the first time
  $\frac{\Gamma(\ensuremath{\aBd \rightarrow K^- \pi^+})-\Gamma(\ensuremath{\Bd \rightarrow K^{+} \pi^-})}{\Gamma(\ensuremath{\Bs \rightarrow K^- \pi^+})-\Gamma(\ensuremath{\aBs\rightarrow K^+ \pi^-})}
= 0.84 \pm 0.42 \pm 0.15$~\cite{morello_beauty}, in agreement with the Standard Model expectation of unity.
The branching fraction $\ensuremath{\mathcal{B}}(\ensuremath{\Bs \rightarrow  K^+ K^-})= (24.4 \pm 1.4 \pm 4.6) \times 10^{-6}$ \cite{morello_beauty}
is in agreement with the latest theoretical expectation~\cite{matiasBsKK,matiasBsKK2}
and with the previous CDF measurement \cite{paper_bhh}.
The results for the \ensuremath{B^{0}}\ are in agreement with world--average values~\cite{hfag07}.
$\ensuremath{A_{\mathsf{CP}}(\bdkpi)} =-0.086 \pm 0.023 \pm 0.009$ is competitive with the current \mbox{$B$-Factories}\ measurements.\\
CDF collaboration also quoted for the first time
$\ensuremath{\mathcal{B}}(\ensuremath{\Lambda_{b}^{0} \rightarrow p\pi^{-}})= (3.1 \pm 0.6 \pm 0.7) \times 10^{-6}$ and
$\ensuremath{\mathcal{B}}(\ensuremath{\Lambda_{b}^{0} \rightarrow pK^{-}}) = (5.0 \pm 0.7 \pm 1.0) \times 10^{-6}$ \cite{volpi_note}  in agreement with
theoretical  prediction in \cite{th:BR_lambdab}.

With full Run II samples (6~\lumifb\ by year 2010) CDF expects  a measurement of \ensuremath{{\cal A}_{\CP}}\ in \ensuremath{\Bd \rightarrow K^{+} \pi^-}\
with a statistical plus systematic uncertainty at 1\% level; 5-sigma observation
of direct \ensuremath{{\cal A}_{\CP}}\ in \ensuremath{\Bs \rightarrow K^- \pi^+}\ (or alternatively the possible indication of non-SM sources of CP violation);
more precise measurement of  \ensuremath{{\cal A}_{\CP}}\ in \ensuremath{\Lambda_{b}^{0}}\ charmless decays; and
improved limits, or even observation, of annihilation modes \ensuremath{\Bs \rightarrow  \pi^+ \pi^-}\ and \ensuremath{\Bd \rightarrow  K^+ K^-}.
In addition to the above, time-dependent measurements will be performed for \ensuremath{\Bd \rightarrow \pi^+ \pi^-}\ and \ensuremath{\Bs \rightarrow  K^+ K^-}\ decay \cita{CKM06_punzi}.

\section{$\gamma$ from $B\to D K$ decays}

The partial widths of $B^{-} \rightarrow D^0 K^{-}$ modes allow a
theoretically-clean extraction of the CKM  angle $\gamma = {\rm arg}(-V_{ud}V^*_{ub}/V_{cd}V^*_{cb})$ by a variety of
methods, depending on the specific $D^0$ decay channel involved
\cite{glw1,glw2,ads1,ads2,dalitz}.
The precision of current experimental data \cite{hfag07} is still far from theoretical
uncertainties and is statistics--limited, so the current limited
knowledge of $\gamma$ can be significantly improved by the addition of further data.
All mentioned methods for extracting $\gamma$ from $B^{-}
\rightarrow D^0 K^{-}$ modes require no tagging or time-dependent
measurements, and many of them only involve charged particles in
the final state. They are therefore particularly well--suited to analysis in a hadronic
collider environment, where the large production can be well exploited.

CDF collaboration reconstructed modes where the $D^0$ decays in
either $K^- \pi^+$ (flavor eigenstate) or $K^- K^+, \pi^- \pi^+$
(CP-even eigenstate), in a sample of about 1~\lumifb\ of CDF data.
With a similar analysis of \ensuremath{\Bn \rightarrow h^{+}h^{'-}}\ decays CDF measured the direct CP asymmetry \cite{paola_note}:
$A_{CP+}=0.37\pm 0.14(stat.)\pm 0.04(syst.)$ and the double ratio of the branching fractions:
$R_{CP+} = \frac{R_{+}}{R} = 1.57\pm 0.24(stat.)\pm 0.12(syst.)$ \footnote{For definition
of $A_{CP+}$ and $R_{CP+}$ see \cite{paola_note}.}
in agreement with previous measurements from other experiments \cite{hfag07}.
This is the first measurement of these quantities to be performed at a hadron collider.

For the search of \ensuremath{\Bs \rightarrow D^{\mp}_{s} K^{\pm}}\ mode CDF collaboration used an unbinned maximum likelihood fit which combines
the kinematic and  particle identification information
With a data sample of  integrated luminosity  of $1.2$~\lumifb\
CDF observed for the first time \ensuremath{\Bs \rightarrow D^{\mp}_{s} K^{\pm}}\ decays,
with a yield of $109\pm19$ events corresponding to a statistical significance of $7.9\sigma$,
and measured its branching fraction normalized to \ensuremath{\Bs \rightarrow D^{-}_{s} \pi^+}\ mode
$\frac{\ensuremath{\mathcal{B}}(\ensuremath{\Bs \rightarrow D^{\mp}_{s} K^{\pm}})}{\ensuremath{\mathcal{B}}(\ensuremath{\Bs \rightarrow D^{-}_{s} \pi^+})}=0.107 \pm 0.019\stat\ \pm 0.007\syst$ \cite{bsdsk_public_note}.
This is the initial step for a possible time-dependent asymmetry measurement
with full Run II statistics.

\section{New states}

The latest of several observations of new $b$ bound states (after \ensuremath{\Lambda_{b}^{0}}, \ensuremath{B_c}, \ensuremath{\Sigma_b^\pm}, \ensuremath{B^*}, \ensuremath{B^{**0}}) is that
of the \ensuremath{\Xi_b^-}\ baryon in its decay to $\ensuremath{J/\psi}\Xi^-$ (with $\ensuremath{J/\psi} \to \mu^+\mu^-$ and $\Xi^- \to \Lambda^0 \pi^{-}$)
from the D\O\ and CDF collaborations \cite{Ref:D0_Xib,Ref:CDF_Xib}. With a data sample of 1.3~\lumifb\
D\O\ observed for the first time $15 \pm 4.4\stat\ ^{+1.9}_{-0.4}\syst$ \ensuremath{\Xi_b^-}\ candidates at a mass of
$5.774 \pm 0.011\stat \pm 0.015~\massgev$ with a significance of 5.5$\sigma$. By normalizing
to the decay $\ensuremath{\Lambda_{b}^{0}} \to \ensuremath{J/\psi} \Lambda^0$, D\O\ measured the relative rate
$ \frac{\sigma(\ensuremath{\Xi_b^-})\times \ensuremath{\mathcal{B}}(\ensuremath{\Xib\rightarrow\Jpsi\Xi^-})}{\sigma(\ensuremath{\Lambda_{b}^{0}}) \times \ensuremath{\mathcal{B}}(\ensuremath{\Lambda_{b}^{0}} \to \ensuremath{J/\psi}\Lambda^0) }
= 0.28 \pm 0.09\stat ^{+0.09}_{-0.08} \syst$.
CDF collaboration, with 1.9~\lumifb\  of data collected,  observed
$17.5 \pm 4.3$ \ensuremath{\Xi_b^-}\ candidates at a mass of
$5792.9 \pm 2.5\stat \pm 1.7~\massmev$ with a significance of 7.7$\sigma$.

Heavy quark states provide an interesting laboratory for
testing various approaches to the non-perturbative regime of
QCD.  The Tevatron experiments have made large effort to
improve our knowledge of the $b$-hadrons.

Nice read, I just passed this onto a colleague who was doing a little research on that. And he just bought me lunch as I found it for him smile Thus let me rephrase that: Thanks for lunch! “The capacity to care is what gives life its most deepest <a href="http://smyjose.com">si#2fiicance.&g8n21; </a> by Pablo Casals.
This website on-line can be a stroll-by means of for the entire data you wanted about this and did not know who to ask. Glimpse here, and you will potlviseiy uncover it.


At a restaurant not far from the Capitol on Monday night, Gov. Jerry Brown held a private reception with campaign donors who spend heavily on lobbying to influence him and the Legislature.
A key organizer of the event was Capitol Advocacy, a lobbying firm whose clients include PepsiCo, Corrections Corporation of America, T-Mobile USA Inc., WellCare Health Plans and the Fox Entertainment Group.
The invitation, obtained by The Times, suggested a $5,000 contribution to Brown's reelection account from those attending the reception at Mulvaney's B&L. It promised a "private reception and sit-down conversation" with Brown and instructed guests to send checks to his Oakland campaign office.
Sarah Swanbeck, a representative of California Common Cause, said the event illustrates how special interests in Sacramento parlay campaign contributions into special access to politicians.
"Obviously someone who wrote a $100 check [to the Brown campaign] is not being afforded the same access,'' Swanbeck said.
John Latimer, founder of Capitol Advocacy, declined to comment on the event.
Many of his firm's clients made contributions to Brown before the election, according to campaign reports filed with the state. The Pacific Compensation Insurance Co., which provides workers' compensation insurance coverage, gave $5,000 in September. SolarCity, a renewable energy company, pitched in $10,000 the next month.
Candidates are not allowed to continue raising money for their reelection accounts after the election except to settle debt incurred during the campaign, according to a spokesman for the state Fair Political Practices Commission. Dan Newman, a spokesman for Brown's campaign, said Brown has not been raising money since Nov. 4.
Newman said the invitation was sent in early October, but the reception was scheduled for Monday night, two weeks after the election, "to accommodate busy schedules."
As of Oct. 18, the governor still had nearly $21 million in his reelection account, according to his most recent campaign filings. The next reports, covering spending in the final weeks of the campaign, are due Feb. 2.
Brown's prolific fundraising helped give him an insurmountable edge over his Republican opponent, Neel Kashkari, in the election. Barely campaigning for his fourth term in office, Brown beat Kashkari nearly 60% to 40%.
Before the election, Brown said he might use leftover money for ballot-measure campaigns over the next four years, to "overcome whatever infirmities lame-duck governors might ordinarily suffer from."
Times staff writers Michael Finnegan in Los Angeles and Phil Willon in Sacramento contributed to this report.


No one likes to talk about money, but when hiring a prospective business attorney, a business owner should not hesitate to ask how legal fees are handled.
Richardson says at RichardsonClement PC, the firm works on a "satisfaction guarantee" with respect to legal fees. "If our client does not believe our fee is justified for the work we performed, we always want to discuss the fee and why they believe it is unfair," Richardson says. "We want our clients to be completely satisfied with the legal services we provide and our charges for those services, so we strive to ensure that they are completely satisfied." He says all good attorneys should work on this same principle.
Richardson advises business owners to meet with their attorney regularly to maintain the relationship. This helps the attorney have a good understanding of the needs of the business. "You will be amazed at how often the right attorney can help you with difficult business issues, and help you keep your legal costs down over the long run through regular consultation," he says. A good attorney should identify potential legal problems in advance, and save the company time and money over the long run.

Cultivating the High Street: Artists and Town Centres
Post author By Katie Anderson
From Andrew Gordon
High streets across Britain are fundamentally changing, and Dumfries is no exception. The combined impact of the economic downturn, out of town complexes and online shopping is leading to more and more town centre closures. The effect on Dumfries is unmistakable, from the closure of national chains stores, to long established family-owned businesses, each leaving behind empty husks in what once were regarded prime locations. With their empty displays these unwanted buildings contribute to a worrying sense that the town is in perpetual decline.
However there have also been signs of different life; the Electric Theatre Workshop has turned a disused shop into a space for practicing and performing theatre, as well as the central hub for winter festival, Big Burns Supper. Although shops have struggled, cafes and restaurants are continuing to generate business, prompting a number of new openings and refurbishments. These changes remind us that high streets have historically been places to "debate and meet", as retail-consultant Mary Portas stated in her 2011 report for the UK Government. It is her opinion that high streets must return to this role as "multifunctional, social spaces" if they are to serve any purpose in the future, commerce forming just a part of their civic service rather than dictating it.
The Stove Network shares this vision – it aims to demonstrate that rethinking the way we use the vacant buildings on the high street can have a profound and beneficial impact on the local community. By opening it's new accessible public arts space at 100 High Street, it will be placing creativity and risk taking right at the centre of local efforts to re-imagine Dumfries as a contemporary regional capital.
The retail chains that previously occupied these spaces were concerned with telling us what we want. The Stove will instead respond to what we need, a collaborative effort between artists and others in the town to cultivate a place that will serve us as citizens rather than consumers. This means including the public in the operation of the Stove itself and the Tuesday Drop-In sessions are one example. These weekly meetings will invite one and all to discuss the Stove's operation, and to voice their own ideas about what it should be doing more of to contribute towards the regeneration of Dumfries town centre. The Charter14 event held during last year's Guid Nychburris festival, asked Doonhamers to put forward their own ambitions for the town's future as part of a new "People's Charter", and is another example of The Stove Network's approach.
By offering ready access to art and the tools of its creation in the very centre of the town, the Stove stands to thoroughly involve the people of Dumfries in bringing about constructive change to the place we call hame, turning an otherwise forlorn relic of times gone by into a symbol for a new future for Dumfries – one conducted on our own terms. "High streets will thrive if we re-imagine them", Mary Portas suggests, and what better way could there be to inspire new ways of thinking about the high street than through art?

After having had a successful accounting career, I decided to follow my passion and start a life coaching practice. I was always the go to person for advice and it was only fitting that I continue what I already loved doing. My passion for helping people was always at the forefront of everything. I could also continue to use my analytical skills that I developed over my accounting career.
I am currently the CEO of multiple businesses. I am a proud mother of a daughter who is in her second year of college. I am also living a full life of adventure, with the love of my life. I am a visionary at heart. My belief system is that we can be, do, and have whatever we want! So, I did just that. I wanted to run multiple businesses of industries that interested me. I wanted to spend my life helping people. I got the best of "all" worlds. I would love to see my clients have the same joyful, and fulfilled life!
I help my clients achieve their dreams and goals. I help them find their self esteem to find new relationships, new careers, and new passions. I also help them to change their energy so that they are attracting what they do want for their lives versus what they don't want.
My coaching style is based on the law of attraction. I am a Certified Advanced Law of Attraction Practitioner.

Online coaching includes a combination of online coaching and email/and or text coaching.
I haven't always had an easy life but then again most of us haven't. For those that succeed in life they have learned how to turn things around in spite of all of the challenges they have gone through. I for one, did just that. I was always the go to person when my friends had any issues or needed someone to just listen to. After spending 20 years doing accounting, I realized that I was missing out on my other passions. One of my passions is helping people. I realized for me there is no greater joy than seeing others succeed and excel in their potential. So I decided to train and learn more about life coaching. For the past year, I have been coaching clients and helping them turn their lives around. I like to help and guide my clients. I never tell them what to do. I give them the proper tools, and help them remove the obstacles so that they can make the changes to their lives that they desire. Only then will the changes become a part of who they are.
