Home Investigations How Police Unions Have Bred a Generation of Crooked Cops
How Police Unions Have Bred a Generation of Crooked Cops
Guardian analysis shows how organizations and officers in New York, Los Angeles and Chicago work against reform
Political spending is one of the two tools police unions use to influence politicians. Industry observers who spoke with the Guardian stressed they also effectively portray reformers as "soft on crime", and lawmakers have feared being branded as such.
Guardian: Police unions and officers active in America's three largest cities spend tens of millions of dollars annually to influence law enforcement policy and thwart pushes for reform, a Guardian analysis of local, county, state and federal campaign finance records found.
https://twitter.com/GrimKim/status/1274140683138469889?s=20
Reform advocates say the spending partly explains why police unions have defeated most reform measures in recent years, even as high-profile police killings of unarmed black men sparked waves of public outrage including the current national demonstrations against racism sparked by the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. From The Intercept:
AFTER THE NEAR murder of a 75-year-old man on a sidewalk in Buffalo, New York, the city's police union, the Buffalo Police Benevolent Association, responded with organized demonstrations of support for the officers who shoved the elderly man to the ground.
After the murder of George Floyd, the Minneapolis Police Officers Federation was defiant, with President Bob Kroll, who had recently defended his role in three police shootings, attacking Floyd as a criminal, and lashing out at local politicians for not allowing the police to be rougher on protesters. The Sergeants Benevolent Association in New York City, which has attracted reprobation for doxxing NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio's daughter Chiara, has also moved to a furious war footing. The Louisville Metro Police Union in Kentucky rallied around the killers of Breonna Taylor, as the officers involved haven't been fired, let alone charged.
The reactionary intransigence has brought into focus the role of police unions in creating conditions for unchecked violence. On June 8, the Writers Guild of America East, a 6,000-member AFL-CIO affiliate that represents television writers and digital journalists (including at The Intercept), passed a resolution that urged its parent body to "disaffiliate" the International Union of Police Associations, the sole police-only union in the federation. "As long as police unions continue to wield their collective bargaining power as a cudgel, preventing reforms and accountability, no one is safe," WGAE wrote in a statement.
The resolution drew broad support inside the AFL-CIO but also opposition, and it has so far been rejected. Lost in the debate, however, is that the unions who were the immediate inspiration for the resolution would be untouched. Neither the Minneapolis, New York City, Louisville, or Buffalo unions are part of the IUPA or any other AFL-CIO union. Three are independent unions and one, in Louisville, belongs to the arch-reactionary Fraternal Order of Police. And, adding more complexity to advocates of disentangling police unions from the broader organized labor movement, the IUPA, with its 100,000 members, is far from the only union within the AFL-CIO that represents cops.
Must-read: @createcraig lays out how NYPD supervisors and police unions turned the Shake Shack "poisoning" into a non-existent anti-cop conspiracy even though the officers in question never got sick. https://t.co/2jMuktP3JO
— Noah Manskar (@noahmanskar) June 22, 2020
The Guardian identified about $87m in local and state spending over the last two decades by the unions. That includes at least $64.8m in Los Angeles, $19.2m in New York City and $3.5m in Chicago. Records show that most spending occurred during the last 10 years as contributions and lobbying dramatically increased in most jurisdictions.
Keep in mind, when Geronimo Yanez murdered Philando Castille the police union CAME TO HIS DEFENSE.
When Derrick Chauvin murdered George Floyd the police union CAME TO HIS DEFENSE.
When Mohamed Noor ACCIDENTALLY killed a white woman the same police union was SILENT.

Media were duped by police unions' story about poisoned milkshakes. The officers apparently were never even sick. https://t.co/hINZb7lQ3A
— 🖕🏻Aunt Crabby calls Bullshit 🖕🏻 (@DearAuntCrabby) June 23, 2020
"The power of their money runs very deep," said Hamid Khan, director of Stop LAPD Spying, a grassroots anti-surveillance watchdog group. "[Local governments] have become rubber-stamp bodies in which police power is never challenged."

— mySA (@mySA) June 22, 2020
The totals include payments to city council members and state legislators, as well as lobbying costs. The amount that police unions have spent during these periods is probably even higher as incomplete state campaign finance data makes it nearly impossible to pin down the true figure…
"Atlanta police officers have been calling in sick, staging a protest in solidarity with the former police officer who's been charged with murdering Rayshard Brooks," @AliVelshi says. "If you don't want to do the hard work of policing, then actually quit."https://t.co/J2RgSnsmiv

Synaptics Reports Second Quarter Results
Synaptics Reports Second Quarter Results 25.4 KB
SANTA CLARA, Calif., Jan 19, 2006 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX News Network/ -- Synaptics (Nasdaq: SYNA), a leader in interface solutions for mobile computing, communications, and entertainment devices, today reported financial results for the second fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2005. The Company's GAAP results reflect the adoption of SFAS 123(R) regarding option expensing.
Net revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 was $48.6 million, a decrease of approximately 14% compared with $56.5 million of net revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2005.
Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 was $4.8 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, a decrease of approximately 51% compared with $9.7 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2005.
Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2006, which excludes non-cash share-based compensation net of tax, was $7.5 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, a decrease of approximately 24% compared with non-GAAP net income of $9.8 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2005.
"We are pleased to announce another solid quarter of execution with results within our expected guidance range," stated Francis Lee, President and Chief Executive Officer of Synaptics. "Design activity is strong across our target markets and general market trends continue to move in a direction favorable to Synaptics as we look to capitalize on the continuing shift towards mobility and multimedia applications in the PC sector, coupled with the growing adoption among consumers of digital lifestyle products, including portable audio and video devices."
Russ Knittel, Synaptics' Chief Financial Officer, added, "Based on current indicators and our backlog entering the third fiscal quarter, we anticipate revenue to be in the $42 to $45 million range. This guidance is based on expected seasonal declines following the holiday period. While our visibility beyond the March quarter is limited, we currently anticipate that revenue in the June quarter could be up sequentially from March quarter levels."

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
Synaptics discloses non-GAAP financial measures of net income and net income per share and believes that this non-GAAP information provides historical comparability of its core operating results over multiple reporting periods. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative to net income and net income per share presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP"). Further, these non-GAAP financial measures are unlikely to be comparable to non-GAAP information provided by other companies. In accordance with SEC regulations, reconciliation of the Synaptics U.S. GAAP information to the non-GAAP information is provided in the tables attached. We will also make available on the investor relations page of our web site at www.synaptics.com this press release, which includes a reconciliation of the U.S. GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures and a replay of the webcast.

Such factors include, but are not limited to, (a) demand for Synaptics' products in the PC and portable digital entertainment markets, (b) market demand for OEMs' products using Synaptics' solutions, (c) the failure of Synaptics' products and OEMs' products to deliver commercially acceptable performance, (d) changing market demand trends in the markets it serves, and consumer demand, and (e) other risks as identified from time to time in Synaptics' SEC reports, including Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K as well as the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005.

Ailanthus vilmoriniana Dode
A tree probably of the same dimensions and general aspect as A. altissima, but distinguished by the numerous soft spines which clothe the young branchlets. Leaves pinnate, as large, or probably larger, than those of the previous species and very downy; the main stalk often of a rich red, and occasionally spiny like the branchlet. The inflorescence is sometimes 12 in. or more across, and the keys 2 in. long, with the twist resembling the propellers of an aeroplane even more marked. From this description it will be seen that this species, although similar to A. altissima in many respects (it has the same glandular teeth at the base of the leaflets), is on the whole quite distinct, especially in the spiny branchlets and very downy leaflets.
Native of Szechwan, W. China, whence seeds were sent to Maurice de Vilmorin by Père Farges, the missionary, in 1897. The parent of the older trees in Europe is at Les Barres, in France, where, when I first saw it, it had the spiny character of the branches well marked, but during a later visit I noticed the young shoots were becoming less spiny. It has been propagated by grafting on A. altissima. Wilson, who saw this species during his travels in W. China, remarks that the spininess of the young growths appears to be a juvenile character which disappears as the tree gets older. There are two specimens at Kew, one, pl. 1898, 52 × 5 ft, the other, pl. 1905, 52 × 51⁄4 (1967). Another in the West Dean Arboretum, Sussex, measures 65 × 41⁄2 ft (1967).

Ailanthus altissima
branchlet
Small branch or twig usually less than a year old.
Bearing glands.
Flower-bearing part of a plant; arrangement of flowers on the floral axis.
imparipinnate
Odd-pinnate; (of a compound leaf) with a central rachis and an uneven number of leaflets due to the presence of a terminal leaflet. (Cf. paripinnate.)


Is it just me getting older or life is going faster than usual? As much as I want to be Zen and live in the present, I can't help to notice that it's almost Halloween. And then Christmas. And I meant to share with you about my workshop at Crescendoh as soon as I got back and then realized that it's been 2 weeks already since I'm home! Thankfully Jenny posted about it here.
It doesn't help either that I came back to an upside down house (Mr. Danita and the kids were here) and I had to put it back to a more livable, clean place and that my parents were here (I get to see them once in a while so while they're here I'm the daughter again and I enjoy being with them all the time, which translates in not get anything done). And that the little time I have for creating I've spent it working on commissions so I haven't done anything just for kicks.
Soooo... I gave myself time and created new Frida originals!!!!
They will be released as usual, first on the newsletter and later on My Etsy Shop. Sign up for the newsletter here if you haven't done it yet.
And... I've running around like crazy, busy busy busy with a secret project and another personal project, so big that it deserves a blog post for itself, when I'm done with it I'm going to share it with you.
Enough with the excuses. I hope you enjoy the Fridas. Since time flies I think I'm going to start making Halloween Art before it's time to make some Christmas stuff.

Many dogs are afraid of fireworks and other loud noises. Please do not bring your dog to fireworks displays – they will not appreciate the colors, and the noise will likely scare them or at least stress them out.
If you go to see fireworks and leave your canine friend at home, make sure he is very secure. Dogs have been known to break through screens, fences, even glass windows when terrified and trying to escape the sound of fireworks. The days after the Fourth of July weekend are the busiest ones of the year for most shelters – many dogs get "lost" after running in fear from fireworks.
Plan now. Make sure your dog has tags on. Check to see that the tags are legible (sometimes the engraving gets worn off) and that your phone number is current (has your area code changed recently?). If you take your dog out of town for the weekend, get a "vacation tag". I got one for Flip that says, "I'm staying with…." and lists his host's name and phone number. Also, make sure you have current photo of your dog, and note any distinguishing marks (is that spot on his left hind foot or his right?). If you need to provide a description of your lost dog for the humane society or for posters, it's helpful to have it accurate and current.
If you're home with your dog and you hear fireworks, make sure your dog feels calm and safe. Put on music or TV to mask the noise (one student recommends watching a "war movie", since most dogs have learned to ignore the sounds from your TV and the fireworks will fit right in with the crash of the movie's bombs; another student plays mellow classical music and "reads" to her dogs instead!). Act calm or even jolly, yawn, smile, and engage your dog in some fun activity if he or she seems alarmed. Go ahead and reassure your dog by saying, "It's Okay!", and show him or her that you are not bothered.
"concerned" is OK as long as she seems to recover pretty quickly. Start by playing the sounds at a volume where Fido shows NO signs of anxiety. Play the CD while she is eating a meal, getting a relaxing massage, and also while you are practicing basic command she knows such as sit, down, and stay. Do this for several days, gradually raise the volume but turn it back down if you see any signs of anxiety.
You may wish to consider a product called "Adaptil" (formerly "Canine Comfort Zone with DAP"), which releases a chemical which is supposed to be a dog comforting hormone. It often helps to calm stressed or exited dogs down (I have been using it with my own dog since the birth of our child disrupted our routine). See petcomfortzone.com for more information. For some "anxious dogs" it seems to really help take the edge off of their anxiety or intensity. You would want to use it for a week or two before fireworks are expected. You can read about how some trainers are reporting success with it here. In the SF Bay Area, it is available at Pet Food Express.
You might also want to give your dog some melatonin. Check with your vet, but the approximate doses are 1.5 mg for a dog under 25 lbs, 3 mg for a dog 25-100 lbs, and 6 mg for a dog over 100 lbs. Read below about Helix Fairweather's experience with melatonin and fireworks.
an axiety-reliever medication. However, some veterinary behaviorists recommend that you avoid acepromazine ("Ace"), as it may make your dog worse.
For more information, see this article here. Some vets recommend Sileo for noise anxiety/sound sensitivity – for more information see sileodogus.com.
Finally, many dogs do very well with the Anxiety Wrap, a sort of "maintained pressure" vest that helps calm dogs down. It is available through SitStay. Also available, with a similar idea: ThunderShirts.
Remember that cooked bones are dangerous and can splinter! If you let your dog enjoy part of a summer barbecue, make sure he or she gets boneless meat or raw bones only!
trial, out of town – all of it a recipe for potential disaster. So I've always chosen to stay home that weekend.
Linda Aronson, a gracious Beardie owner who is also a veterinarian and behaviorist, suggested using melatonin for Maggie's noise sensitivity and kindly sent me a paper she had written for a veterinary medical journal about a case study she did re: a fearful, spayed female mixed breed and how melatonin helped her. (July 1, 1999, Journal of the AVMA) Knowing how terrified Maggie is about loud noises, I was suspicious – I just can't bear to think of her slipping out through fright and getting squashed on the highway. An agility friend offered for Maggie, Brady and I to stay in her motel room on the night of the 4th so Maggie would be indoors; we'd turn the TV and the fan on and close out the world – at least I had a Plan B! During the deliberations about entering this trial, a Beardie friend had an opportunity, quite unexpectedly, to field test the melatonin with her noise sensitive Beardie and she reported very successful results. Fully prepared to turn right around and head for home if Maggie were in trouble, I entered the trial.
I live on a rural lane where there are no kids, no teens, no neighborhood fireworks. The previous year, 1998, on July 3, I went to a movie in the afternoon and, without thinking about it being close to the 4th, I left Maggie uncrated. I came home to find the carpet ripped up in front of the back door, the molding on the door chewed, the wall paneling scarred with deep tooth marks. Yes, the damage is something, but what gripped my heart was reading the intensity of her fear in the depth of those tooth marks. I called my landlady and sure enough, there had been some fireworks down the road. So I had plenty to worry about for this agility trial!
A few poppers started going off in the distance, not much, occasional stuff. I gave Maggie a melatonin and put her in her hard crate in the tent. I quickly realized that Maggie, through her lifetime of fearful responses to even non- threatening situations, knows how to deal with things like this, curl up in a ball, facing the back of the crate and shut out the world. The noises escalated, with bigger booms, Maggie remained quiet and calm in her crate, yet facing the back, which was just fine with me. If she does only this, we're in great shape! Given Maggie's history, I am an incredible fanatic about observing every nuance of her behavior and, in this highly experimental situation, I was very vigilant.
But she was calm enough, given the circumstances, so I laid on my bed to read my science fiction novel. So far so good. What I failed to notice was Brady's (my other Beardie's) behavior!!! Brady's pretty normal, takes things in stride, doesn't get too upset. With all the thunderstorms when we lived in New Mexico, once in a while, she'd come to me with a 'Mom, can you make it stop?' kind of look but not real high anxiety – so I never expected Brady would have a problem, nor was I watching for any. When I finally tuned in, she'd been unable to settle, pacing, pawing at my shoulder, getting more and more agitated. Boy! Did I feel like a big dummy! So I gave her a melatonin. This did not seem to kick in, or the fireworks had been going too strongly by that time, as her agitation got worse and worse. (Checking later with Linda Aronson, she confirmed that Brady's fear was probably too well established by that time for the melatonin to help). I only had one hard crate with me so I put Brady in the cab of the pickup (evening and quite cold actually so that was fine). I snuck up on her after a few minutes and she was settled and fairly relaxed.
What an odd evening for me! I'm used to not having the companionship of Maggie from time to time but I'm definitely NOT used to having NO DOGS! I had no idea I could miss Brady that much. It was sure empty in my tent. After about an hour I tried to get Brady out of the truck, NO WAY! she would not budge. She also would not take treats!!! (This is a first for this girl.) So there she stayed. Later I brought her food to her and she ate in the truck but would not come out. I could have forced her out or lifted her out but I really didn't want to add to her stress. She was fairly calm in the truck and I left her there (no post-dinner potty or poop!). During the middle of the night, I got up and brought her into the tent and she came willingly from the truck.
Being of the experimental nature, I thought I'd try a few more things. Maggie's traveling mode is to not eat for the first day (some times two) when we are out of town. I will usually put her bowl in her crate with her and I'll hear her eating in the middle of the night by the second or third night. She ate the first night! but she had to wait until the middle of the night. On this, the third night, I fed her early during this huge barrage of slammers (I think there were professional fireworks in there too). I placed her bowl on the floor of the tent, released her to eat and she ATE IT!!! Maggie ate her food while the whole world outside was full of incredibly loud boomers. That scene is forever etched on my brain. No one could have ever convinced me I would ever see that happen!
Well, I just had to take this one step farther. So, with both girls on leash, we walked the whole fairgrounds. Two totally relaxed, heads-up, checking-things-out Beardie girls taking a walk in the middle of this intense barrage of popping, booming, cracking, whistling, etc. I'm sure everyone thought I was a nutcase – I stopped everyone I ran into to show off my girls – look at these dogs!! They would normally be basket cases but melatonin has done wonders. Look at this! These dogs couldn't handle this normally but look what melatonin does!! I was just bursting I was so thrilled to see this transformation. I think the biggest reason I had such incredibly good results is that I had the good fortune to have the 'horror' repeated three days in a row and that the girls had a great opportunity to habituate. Who would have ever thought that this would be such a wonderful success!! Even now as I write this, I'm so touched by how they did. Sure they had help, but with that help, they did a *great* job of learning how to cope. I'd like to offer our experiment and it's results to help any other dogs with fear-based problems.
For adult Beardies the dose is one 3mg tablet. Give it when the dog first appears agitated, or if you have to go out and there is a forecast of thunderstorms or fireworks might be expected. It also works for wind storms. The dog in the article Helix referred to was afraid of songbirds (so badly the owners had thought about putting her down as her quality of life was awful) and thunderstorms. Dogs do not seem sleepy, just relaxed, they hear the noises and they don't bother them. You can repeat up to three times a day as needed. I have used melatonin with immune compromised (autoimmune) dogs and there have been no problems. The packaging states that you shouldn't use with MAO-inhibitors, again I've not had a problem with drug interactions. To date the only side-effect has been an obedience dog who lay down between exercises in class, but he may just have been more relaxed than his usual hypercharged self – he was a cocker. So far I think all the Beardies we have used melatonin with have responded although they may not be 100% worry-free they are a lot better. There have been few failures with other breeds too and melatonin seems to work better than it does in people. I don't think puppies should need melatonin.
If you have a dog of less than 25 lbs I'd use 1/2 the dose (1.5mg). For dogs over 100 lbs, the 3mg dose is usually sufficient, but we have used 6mg safely in some of these who seemed to need a little more. Use the tablets not the capsules, dog's shorter gastro-intestinal tracts may not dissolve them quickly enough. Check the dose of each tablet on the bottle. There's been a move to lower human doses. However, this dose is very safe – the LD 50 (dose that kills 50% of a group of rats) was >700 mg/kg!! Melatonin is available over the counter in health food stores and drug stores in the US, but it is not available in Canada, continental Europe nor the UK.
Since I first shared the story of Maggie's fireworks miracle, I have been deluged with people asking me if melatonin will work with light sensitivity, crowded conditions and over-stimulus, car and motorcycle frenzy. I'm not a vet – I have no idea. Given the lack of harmful side effects as stated by Dr. Aronson, I'd say try it and see! I'm very interested in what you have tried and what results you've had (my interest is curiosity). Dr. Aronson has a more scientific interest in your results. You may write her at PetShrink1@aol.com.

The Maniac in the Mansion (Book Excerpt)
There are few computer games that evoke such poignant nostalgia as the early adventure games from LucasArts--or, as it was known in the late 1980s, Lucasfilm Games. The Secret of Monkey Island, Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, Full Throttle, Day of the Tentacle, Sam & Max Hit the Road, and Grim Fandango are all masterworks that have stood the test of time. Their brilliant dialog, clever stories, zany puzzles, and unforgettable characters make them true classics: they are as enjoyable to play now as they were when they were first released. The internet is full of sites dedicated to preserving and celebrating their memory, and well-supported endeavors such as ScummVM ensure that today's gamers will continue to enjoy these revered games on modern platforms.
What is about these games that warrant such attention? The best of the Lucasfilm and LucasArts games embody the spirit and capture the magic of cult classic B-movies and popular 80s movies like Steven Spielburg's Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) and Rob Reiner's The Princess Bride (1987). They are laden with references and allusions to sci-fi, fantasy, and horror books and movies--some popular, some wonderfully obscure and often terrifically geeky. It is hard to play one of these games without coming to feel like an insider, a member of a select group who recognizes Chuck the Plant as an old friend. These games resonate with the so many people because they are so deeply rooted in 80s and 90s pop culture. They show us ourselves and make us feel good about who we are.

Monkey Island 2 LeChuck's Revenge Special Edition to Feature Audio Commentary
Tue, 04/27/2010 - 2:36pm — Chris Kennedy
The Secret of Monkey Island is my favorite game of all time for any platform. It is a bold statement, but it is true. We've seen a lot of news and product in the world of Monkey Island over this past year, and this latest bit of news concerning MI2:SI is exciting.
When SOMI was remade and released last year, the artwork and music were updated. In addition to this, the voice actors from the later games in the series were brought in to dub the original game. What put the word "special" in "Special Edition" was the fact that you could toggle between the old graphics and the new graphics to balance a need for updated art with that of nostalgia. That said, I believe that the original artwork to SOMI and MI2 still looks great.
The second entry in the franchise is getting a remake, and this time it has in-game audio commentary from the creators. Yes. That's right. In. Game. Commentary. Ron Gilbert, Tim Schafer, and Dave Grossman have provided commentary for an update to a classic adventure game, and it will be included in this summer's MI2 release on PC, X-box 360, Playstation 3, Mac, iPhone, and iPod Touch.
Commentary? For an adventure game? What took so long? Why hasn't this been done before?
New Monkey Island Game and Other Stuff-- Ron Gilbert!!

Oh, and thanks to Bill and Catatonic for telling me about the new Monkey Island game by TellTale Games. The plan is to make it an episodic game like they did with the Sam & Max series. Check out the official website. I can't wait!


OnLive officially launched on Thursday, June 17, 2010 at 9:01 PM EDT/6:01 PM PDT, just at the end of E3 2010. Since this year's E3 is at an earlier date in June, there is still more than a week left until OnLive can officially celebrate their second birthday.
But, because it's E3 time, OnLive has already started celebrating by revealing new features and information at E3 2012, like One-Click In-Browser Cloud Gaming, OnLive MultiView, their coming to LG Smart TVs via Google TV, and showcasing multiple upcoming games like Darksiders II, Aliens: Colonial Marines, Hitman: Absolution, Metro: Last Light, Sid Meier's Civilization V: Gods and Kings and Ravaged.
It's hard to believe that just two years ago OnLive had only 19 games to their name, on just PC and Mac. Skeptics said OnLive would never work, never scale, and never work reliably over consumer broadband connections.
Well, none of the doomsday predictions proved true. In fact, just the opposite. In OnLive's first year they've hit 100 games. This year, they've reached almost 300 games from over 60 publishers. OnLive is available not only on PCs and Macs, but also on TVs, tablets and smartphones, via wired, wireless and even cellular networks. OnLive now has millions of subscribers worldwide, with international spectating, multiplayer and voice chat, and despite the immense complexity of operating such a large and intricate real-time service across continents and oceans, they're pleased to report that they've had 100% uptime 24/7 since launch. Literally, games have been in play nonstop since they flicked the on switch two years ago, as performance continues to improve and new features keep rolling in.
OnLive not only works at scale, but it works reliably across a wide range of consumer devices and broadband connections. As OnLive has become integrated into more and more devices, and its game library has grown deeper and wider, we are already seeing that the vision of OnLive has become a reality.
Epic Games Vice President and Co-Founder Mark Rein was also checking out OnLive's E3 2012 booth. Epic Games is a partner of OnLive and has brought Unreal Tournament III to OnLive. As part of the OnLive UK launch last September, OnLive has also announced that they will bring Epic's Bulletstorm to OnLive gamers, but the game still hasn't materialized, which is most likely because of the publisher of the game, EA. EA is partnered with OnLive, but still hasn't released any games on OnLive. Was Mark Rein only checking out OnLive's E3 2012 booth? Did he congratulate OnLive on their 2-year anniversary? Will Epic bring any new games to OnLive?
OnLive's roots go back much farther than the two years since launch. Today's achievements are the culmination of over a decade of work by an incredibly dedicated team of people and the greater ecosystem of their publisher and technology partners to bring OnLive from the lab and into a commercial product offering, overcoming immense technical and business obstacles. OnLive has filed what may well be one of the largest and most fundamental patent portfolios ever by a technology startup, certainly for a set of inventions met with such skepticism that at their unveiling they were declared impossible. The patents are a reflection of the depth and breadth of the OnLive vision, and the confidence OnLive and its partners held from the outset that OnLive would change everything—gaming, entertainment, computing, and communications.
OnLive Founder and CEO Steve Perlman was also in action at OnLive's E3 2012 booth to spread the word about the OnLive cloud gaming service. He is an OnLive figure long time no see, at least in the first half of the year.
Today is the last day of E3 2012. Those that are able to gain access to the E3 show floor can still drop by OnLive's booth #535 in the South Hall of the Los Angeles Convention Center today, to congratulate OnLive on their second birthday, and get a glimpse of the new features and games that OnLive is presenting.

Trelleborg to close Canadian plant
GUELPH, Ontario (June 10, 2008) — Trelleborg Sealing Solutions will close its Guelph, Ontario, plant as part of the restructuring of its Global Elastomers Business Unit.
The factory produces elastomer products for the automotive, agriculture and appliance industries. It will cease operations with the next 12 months, leaving its 100 employees' status uncertain, the company said.
Some product lines will be relocated to other Trelleborg plants, while the Guelph operation fulfills previous commitments until relocation details are completed. The company has owned the plant since 2003.
No decision has been made on whether any employees will be relocated, Trelleborg said.

Mexico's New Drug Policy Worries U.S. Police
by Ben Morris
The Obama administration's official position on the movement to decriminalize drug use in Latin America is to take a "wait-and-see attitude." However, San Diego Police Chief William Lansdowne was willing to share his thoughts with the Associated Press:
"Now they will go [to Mexico] because they can get drugs. For a country that has experienced thousands of deaths from warring drug cartels for many years, it defies logic why they would pass a law that will clearly encourage drug use."
His quote illustrates one of the most baffling positions held by drug prohibitionists … that sending people to treatment instead of jail encourages drug use.
The logic Lansdowne can't see is that drug use is not a criminal justice problem; it's a public health problem. And when viewed in that light, it's understandable why he got it wrong — Lansdowne isn't a doctor; he's a cop.
The impetus behind Mexico, Argentina, Switzerland, and Portugal (likely to be joined soon by Brazil and Ecuador) changing their drug laws is a decision to focus on treating addiction rather than punishing it. In doing so, they hope to free up law enforcement resources that are better spent fighting violent criminals (like the drug cartels in Mexico). Portugal, which changed its policy in 2001, has had great success — and without becoming a destination for drug tourism.

Here's further documentation that beef, a top source of dietary iron, is a brain food. New research published in the June issue of the journal Pediatrics indicates that even a mild iron deficiency can reduce youngsters' math capability. The difference was most striking, researchers found, in adolescent girls, a group that had the highest prevalence of iron deficiency.
The University of Rochester study involved nationally representative data on 5,398 children, ages 6-16. Overall, iron deficiency was found in 3% of the children, and 8.7% of the girls aged 12-16.
The average math scores of iron-deficient kids were six points lower than kids with normal levels. That difference was more than eight points for adolescent girls.
Study leader Jill Halterman says girls traditionally are superior to boys in math achievement in elementary and middle school years. That trend reverses, however, in high school and college. She says iron deficiency may explain the discrepancy for girls, a gender prone to iron deficiency due to menstruation and low-iron diets.
The Death Tax is dying, thanks to the 10-year, phase-out passed by Congress in late May. Passage represents the success of a 15-year effort by the National Cattlemen's Beef Association to repeal the tax, which often forced heirs to sell assets to cover the estate tax obligation.
In addition, President Bush signed the Mad Cow and Related Disease Prevention Act. It creates a massive interagency task force to coordinate government efforts to prevent outbreaks of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) and foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) in the U.S.
Beef continues its upward demand growth. Preliminary data from the first quarter 2001 indicates a 2% increase over the previous year's first quarter. Beef demand figures have increased nine out of the past 11 quarters, compared to the same quarters the previous year.
In addition, surveys indicate that beef's nutritional benefits continue to earn consumer recognition. A consumer attitudes study of 1,300 adults found 54% agreeing beef is an important part of a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle, compared to 51% in 1999.

Ranch to Retail™ is the new name of PM Beef Group's source-verified production system. The program promises retail grocers, wholesalers and consumers "tender, tasty and consistent beef cuts with safety in mind." It's the first gate-to-plate program following the USDA Process-Verified System.
Every steer in the system is tracked from birth at PM Beef cow/calf operations by producers using a "ranch portfolio" and carries a "health passport" with all health information. Cattle in the program are marketed through retained ownership and sold on a value-based grid. The cattle are fed vitamin E to lengthen product shelf life, and they must be less than 24 months of age at harvest.
The product is currently available only in the East and in Cleveland, but Western expansion is expected this year.
The U.S. lost 20,000 farms and ranches and 4.4 million acres of farmland in 2000. It's the largest loss since the 1991 total of 29,000 farms. The National Agricultural Statistics Service estimates there were 2.17 million farms and ranches in the U.S. in 2000, down almost 1% from 1999. The decline, occurring mostly in operations of less than $10,000 in sales, was attributed to the impacts of adverse weather, lower commodity prices and competition for land.

Anthropologists think humans are meat eaters by nature. The TCFA Newsletter reports that experts believe humans spent 2 million years as hunters and scavengers, eating meat-oriented diets that were 65% livestock calories and 35% plant calories. That contrasts to today's animal/plant balance of 38% livestock calories and 62% plant calories.
After humans began growing crops 10,000 years ago, the plant-only diets produced poorer health, says Arthur de Vany of California State University, an expert on Stone Age diets. Adds Colorado State University's Loren Cordain, early people who ate mainly plants lacked key vitamins, minerals and amino acids. This led to higher infant mortality, shorter life spans, more infectious diseases, widespread iron deficiency and bone mineral disorders.

POLL: Should USOC still bid for 2024?
Luffy replied to baron-pierreIV's topic in 2024 Olympic Games Bids
Well the equation is quite simple, isn't it ? They either get into the 2024 fight. Spend a lot of money and time with possibly very little success OR they sit out. Let Rome win and have a 90% chance of securing 2028. IOC will have overdose on Asia, Europe won't be eligible. Only Africa or Toronto could be a decent threat but then it will be almost three decades without games for the IOC's main partner. There is no reason to think a good US bid won't be as good as a Canadian one. Honestly, why spend 50 millions when you have a 20% chance of sucess when you can have 90 ?

France May Still Bid For 2024 Summer Games
Luffy replied to GBModerator's topic in GB Newswire
Yes but you have to be honest and fair and recognize the extreme limitations in good choices to host WOG. Especially before 1990. Only Austria, Switzerland, France, Canada, Japan, USA, Norway and Italy were viable host. They throw a bone at Yugoslavia and could have gone to Sweden but that's about it. So to be it seems strange to hold this against those countries for them not hosting a SOG. I can understand people denying Paris on the basis they hosted twice but hardly on the base they hosted WOG too
Nathalie was born in Paris... And she is supposed to be a counselor, she is supposed to advice the president directly and represent him at sports events so basically I don't really understand the attacks. If there is a field where France is doing well at the moment, it's in obtaining major sports events so the critics are a bit harsh. And saying Valls should be sent to Spain just because he wasn't born in France or calling Sarkozy an Hungarian jew like some people do is an atrocious thing to do. Disagreeing politically with someone can done without racism.
Luffy replied to baron-pierreIV's topic in Paris 2024 Summer Games
And stade of France also host a lot of rugby matches, concerts etc. Is it really that strange to other countries that people and politics in France like the idea of having 20 teams in 20 rather big cities instead of having 7 clubs in Paris just because it's the capital ? Paris has a good football, handball, more than decent Basket and two Rugby teams, does it really need more than this ? I think that's cooler to have a first league team in almost in every big city but that's just my opinion
Yes but that's denying two simple truth about olympics bids. Firstly that there is others countries able to do one as good as you and Secondly there will be one great bid for at least one of those countries. No one is denying that the US can win an olympic bid for example, but there is no chance a SOG race end up in a 2022 situation where LA is left only with Baku. Sure the US can 2024 but like Tokyo in 2020, they will have at least to defeat one of the likes of Rome, Berlin and Durban etc
There will always be another viable candidate against them and Paris like any other cities has to accept that. We are used to the: "We won't make a bid if we don't think we can win" blabla from everyone. And it's pretty stupid to be honest. The only way Paris or any major European city, or the USA cannot be contenders is when their continents isn't favored by the IOC geopolitics. Apart from that there is always hope but also there is always going to be at least one or two major contenders in the mix, a Rome, Madrid, Berlin, LA, Cape Town, and Shanghai to fight against them. What Paris shoul

Future Hosts
Luffy replied to woohooitsme83's topic in Future Bids Discussion
Well of course it has everything to do with the emergence of the US as the world first nation and not so much with England. I think the US prefers, for logistic purposes, for easier travel for its fans and maybe for just having more cultural aspects in comon, to see the game awarded to Australia or England and that helped them get the few votes more they needed to win the games. Thinking that isn't taking away the greatness of London 2012 and Sydney 2000 off, nor diminishing the extreme quality of the bids.

What both speakers deliberately ignored is the reality that this "paradise" has become an apartheid state that occupies and oppresses millions of Palestinians whose rights are denied, lands are confiscated, and daily lives have become a hell on earth.
Not only that, but as Israel's government moves further to the right it is mired in corruption, violates religious freedom, and embraces Donald Trump. It is at best, a stretch to call them "progressive." The word means something and it doesn't mean Israel.
I was also struck by Ambassador Nicki Haley's description of the United Nations as "bullying Israel" because the world body repeatedly passes resolutions condemning Israeli practices in the occupied territories. Once again, the reality is being turned on its head.
It's not the UN that bullies Israel, it's Israel that is bullying the Palestinians by repeatedly violating international law and conventions. Because the UN is the body that established Israel and set the terms for "a just and lasting peace," it remains the address for complaints with Israeli behavior. Palestinian recourse to the world body then isn't bullying, it's appropriate.
Then there's the Orwellian talk about "peace, two states and negotiations," none of which bears any relationship with reality. Israel's governing coalition no longer supports a two-state solution. For years, they pretended to endorse this outcome but did so with terms that made it impossible to achieve.
Israeli leaders claimed to want "negotiations without preconditions leading to two states," but then proceeded to lay out conditions like: settlement remain, no consideration of refugees' right to return, no compromise on Jerusalem, and continued Israeli control over the Jordan Valley and access and egress on all borders. Meanwhile, in the two decades, since Netanyahu was first elected, the settler population has quadrupled as they continued to expand their settlement enterprise in the occupied territories. In the end, it appeared that Israel's embrace of two states was more a stalling tactic or a fig leaf to mask their aggressive conquest of the entire land and their permanent subjugation of the Palestinian people.
In the face of this reality, it was a bit of a farcical "too little, too late" for the new AIPAC president to declare his organization's support for two states and then lament that this goal was probably unattainable due—he, of course, added—to Palestinian failures. That Fridman was quickly rebuked by members of the Israeli governing coalition was a clear indication that Israelis have become so emboldened they no longer feel the need for a fig leaf to cover for their ill intent.
The topsy-turvy world of AIPAC's use of language was writ large in the juxtaposition of two signs advertising an event on "freedom of the press." Outside the room was a screen that announced the session "Free Speech and Freedom of the Press in Israel." Above it was another sign stating that "This session is off the record and closed to press." No further comment is necessary.
If this weren't enough to set sane minds reeling in confusion or consternation, there were the bizarre claims about "Israel's moral army" or the need to confront "Palestinian fake news" about the occupation army's mistreatment of Palestinian children or how Israel is on the verge of peace with its Arab neighbors, if it were not for the pesky Palestinians who keep getting in the way.
Thankfully, the story doesn't end here. Polls are showing that there is some promising movement in public opinion on issues involving Israel and the Palestinians. Republican opinion, driven by right-wing evangelical Christians and neo-Conservatives, remain under Israel's sway. Democrats, on the other hand, are divided in their support for Israel, with young and minority voters no longer buying the AIPAC-created narrative and increasingly more supportive of Palestinians. This deadly contest between reality and illusion will continue.

Q: Bernoulli parameter estimation after every sample received I have a pretty simply-looking question on the parameter estimation. hope you can help me.
I have a biased coin and I want to decide if the probability of head $p$ is bigger or smaller than  known probability $p_0$ (and this I want to guess correctly with high probability, say  99%).
If I draw say $100$ samples, it is easy to compute the confidence intervals and decide or abstain. However, I don't want to decide on the number of samples beforhand, but rather want to draw just enough samples to be able to decide if $p > p_0$ or not. I can compute the confidence intervals after every sample, however it is not correct because the "prefixes" of sampled sequence are not independednt, thus, my predetermined confidence level is "poisoned".
The motivation is quite natural. If I toss the coin $100$ times and receive $100$ heads, then I can guarantee that $p > 0.5$ (with failure probability 1%) and it makes no sense to draw further. On the other hand, if $p \approx p_0$, I may need a lot more samples.
Unfortunatelly, I don't think there is a perfect universal answer, so I'm happy for any partial thougths.

A: Can't you approach this in a Bayesian way?
Place a beta prior on $p$, and then toss the coin repeatedly. After each toss, the posterior is updated and you check the amount of posterior probability for values above $p_0$.
Here is some rough code. I am assuming that p > p0, and using p0 = 0.5.
# reference value
p0 <- 0.5

# biased prob of head
p <- runif(n = 1L, min = p0, max = 1)

# threshold on posterior prob that p > p0
prob_threshold <- 0.99

heads <- 1L
tails <- 1L

for(i in 1:100){
  # new coin toss
  x <- rbinom(n = 1L, size = 1L, prob = p)

  # update counts
  if(x == 0L){
    tails <- tails + 1L
  }else{
    heads <- heads + 1L
  }

  # quantify the posterior prob above the reference value
  z <- pbeta(p0, shape1 = heads, shape2 = tails, lower.tail = FALSE)

  if(z >= prob_threshold){
    break
  }
}

As @whuber points out, you probably want some additional termination criterion. Here, I run at most 100 trials for example.

Disbelief as Chechens held for Russian editor's murder
The Independent, 29 September 2004, Andrew Osborn in Moscow
RUSSIAN POLICE claimed yesterday that one of the country"s most brutal and enigmatic contract killings - the drive-by shooting of the American journalist Paul Klebnikov in July - had all but been solved and two suspects arrested. Mr Klebnikov, the editor of the Russian edition of Forbes magazine, ruffled feathers in May by publishing the country"s first rich list, "outing" Russia"s 100 wealthiest people. On 9 July he was shot nine times from a passing car by more than one gunman as he left his office in north central Moscow. He died in hospital.

Sep. 29--MOSCOW -- Moscow police are holding two Chechen men suspected in the slaying of American journalist Paul Klebnikov , whose murder shook the journalism community here and stirred memories of the kind of gangland mayhem that characterized Russia's turbulent 1990s. Klebnikov, 41, was shot four times July 9 as he left the Moscow offices of the Russian edition of Forbes magazine, where he was editor-in-chief. The murder was widely thought to be the first of a Western journalist. Since 2000, at least 11 journalists in Russia have been slain in contract killings.

Police Arrest Suspects for Murder of Forbes' Russia Editor
WMRC Daily Analysis, 29 September 2004, Ben Wetherall
Police in Moscow confirmed yesterday that they had arrested two Chechen men in connection with the murder of Paul Klebnikov , the Russia editor of Forbes business magazine who was killed in July (see Russia: 12 July 2004: US Journalist Shot Dead in Moscow). While the investigation from the Prosecutor General's office continues, the two men were believed to be part of a larger criminal gang involved in kidnapping and ransoming wealthy victims. One of the suspects was in possession of the pistol that the authorities say was used to kill Klebnikov. A Chechen connection to Klebnikov's death was widely predicted following Klebnikov's extensive investigations into alleged links between suspected Chechen rebel financier Khozh-Akhmed Nukhayev and the beleaguered oil giant Yukos. Nukhayev is currently in hiding in Azerbaijan, indicted by the Russian government on terror charges.
