In April of 1997 he attended the press and congressional briefings conducted in Washington, DC by Steven Greer and CSETI. During the July, 1997 events in Roswell, New Mexico, he assisted Stargate International in launching the "Petition for an Open Congressional Hearing on Modern UFO Evidence." This is part of an ongoing process to bring the United States Congress formally into the process of disclosure.
In October 1997 he assisted Frances Barwood, city councilwoman in Phoenix Arizona, in dealing with an aggressive attempt by her political opponents to discredit and punish her for speaking publicly and in council session on the lack of a proper investigation of the Phoenix UFO sighting in March of 1997. Ms. Barwood won her recall election by a 2 to 1 margin.
At midnight on April 30, 1998 he published the "Paradigm Clock" to the World Wide Web. This website is designed to support the researchers/activists in the field. The Clock itself is a metaphor for citizens and the media to develop a feel for the process of disclosure underway.
Then from early April of 1998 Mr. Bassett worked to develop media interest in the anomalies present in the photographic returns of the Cydonia region of Mars from the Mars Global Surveyor. Additional concerns included the fate of journalists who had done investigative pieces unfavorable to elements of the government and the secrecy reform legislation (S-712) introduced by Sen. Patrick Moynihan.
Early in 1999 Bassett began a collaboration with Robert Bletchman and Larry Bryant of MUFON who had developed a UFO State Ballot Initiative targeting the 16 states permitting direct referendum. He developed a web subsite to represent this project. Missouri became the first test effort under the guidance of MUFON state director, Bruce Widaman.
Then in July, after assisting Virginia MUFON in promoting MUFON's '99 International Symposium in DC metro area, he begun a process for a more intense approach to Congressional members. Consequently, on July 13, 1999 he founded the Extraterrestrial Phenomena Political Action Committee (X-PPAC), the first PAC in history to target the politics of extraterrestrial phenomena and the government embargo of facts confirming the presence of extraterrestrial life forms in our world now. Announced nationally on July 21 it will be promoted via its website at www.x-ppac.org and by ongoing guest media appearances.
On April 17, 2002, in a press conference held at the National Press Club in Washington, DC, "Disclosure2003: the Maryland 8th District Congressional Campaign of Stephen Bassett" was formally announced. This campaign sought to challenge the voters of the 8th District (parts of Montgomery and Prince George's Counties) as well as the other candidates to engage the politics of disclosure and the facts of an extraterrestrial presence along with a range of other controversial issues neglected by America's increasingly risk averse politicians.
On July 1, 2011 a new project to establish July 8 as World Disclosure Day was launched. Endorsements are being collected at www.worlddisclosureday.org with over 5000 signature endorsements. This project will help raise public awareness about the Disclosure process.
In September of 2011 Paradigm Research Group submitted a Disclosure Petition to the White House's "We the People" project which generated a response from the Obama administration on November 4, 2011. This response was the first time the executive branch has put a position in writing on the extraterrestrial presence issue and is a milestone. A second Disclosure Petition was submitted on February 23, 2012 designed to draw attention to the Rockefeller Initiative (1993-1996). Three more White House petitions were submitted addressing nuclear weapons tampering, the actions of CIA officer Chase Brandon and the Roswell events of July 1947.
On November 5, 2014 PRG launched a political initiative by shipping the full set of DVDs of the Citizen Hearing on Disclosure to all member of the U. S. Congress. The first day's testimony included three hours about the Rockefeller Initiative (1993-1996) and the Clinton/ET connection. The political initiative aimed to raise awareness of that connection with the political media while Secretary Hillary Clinton ran for president over the next two year. It succeeded in generating 400 mainstream news articles in just the English language press and forced the Clinton campaign team to speak to to the extraterrestrial presence issue eleven times before the election. Only the failure of the debate moderators to ask a single candidate about the content of these 400 articles during 36 debates and forums prevented the ET issue from becoming a major story in the presidential campaign.
In 2017 PRG began researching and promoting an unprecedented initiative involving between 40 and 50 high level persons inside and outside the military/intelligence complex. The project is called the To the Stars Academy of Arts and Science.
Also, in 2017 PRG began preproduction on a documentary, Disclosure.

Q: Which Service Account should I use in SSRS? I'm a newbie in SSRS, so my experiences are limited in this topic. In the SQL Server Configuration Manager, there are several options to set the Service Account. I have the option to either use a built-in account or another account. The dropdown menu gives me the following four options:

*

*Local System

*Network Service

*ReportServer$SQLEXPRESS

*Local Service

Now I'm a bit confused which entry should I use and what their purpose is. Could you point me to a resource where this "concept" is described? In which situation should I use which one? When should I use "Use another account"?

A: I use the principle of least privilege when setting up services and create a specific account for each service. If you are going to use built-in accounts, which one you should select depends if you are using Active Directory or not. If the server is in an AD Domain, you should use Network. Otherwise, I'd suggest Local System.
But my first choice would be to create a specific service account in active directory for the service.

A: My answer is Use AD account as services accounts ..you will not face any connectivity issuses etc.

Fourteenth Court of Appeals Muddies Waters on Policy Benefits and Extra-Contractual Benefits
July 1, 2014 E-Alerts
United Nat'l Ins. Co. v. AMJ Investments,No. 14-12-00941-CV
(Tex. App.—Houston [14th] Dist., June 26, 2014)
The Fourteenth Court of Appeals' decision in AMJ could have far-reaching consequences if its holding on the extra-contractual damages awarded against United National stands. In this case, following a trial over alleged damages arising under a commercial property policy as a result of Hurricane Ike, the court submitted questions to the jury on both policy damages for breach of contract and extra-contractual damages for violations of the Texas Insurance Code. The jury found that United had breached the policy, resulting in in a $300,000 damage award. The jury also awarded the identical amount, $300,000, for violations of the Texas Insurance Code. The jury found an additional $1,000,000 in damages based upon its finding that United had knowingly violated the Insurance Code. The jury also awarded attorneys' fees. AMJ elected to recover damages under the Insurance Code rather than under the contractual cause of action and the court entered judgment in the amount of $300,000 for violations of the Insurance Code, $178,734 in prompt payment penalties, $600,000 for knowing conduct (having been reduced pursuant to a statutory cap), and attorneys' fees and interest. United National appealed.
United National's appeal, in part, addressed the award of Insurance Code damages. United National argued that the jury assessed identical damages for failure to comply with the policy and for violations of the Insurance Code, and, therefore, the insured could not recover for the Insurance Code violations. In particular, United argued that its conduct did not cause the insured injury independent of the injury caused by the breach of contract. United National relied upon the Texas Supreme Court's opinion in Providence Am. Ins. Co. v. Castaneda, 988 S.W.2d 189 (Tex. 1998). In Castaneda, the court held that extra-contractual damages were not recoverable since "none of the actions or inactions of [the insurer] was the producing cause of any damage separate and apart from those that would have resulted from a wrongful denial of the claim"—the policy benefits.
The AMJ court distinguished Castaneda, holding that "under the circumstances presented here, the absence of an independent injury does not foreclose liability for United's violation of the Insurance Code." The court of appeals primarily relied upon Waite Hill Servs., Inc. v. World Class Metal Works, Inc., 959 S.W.2d 182, 184-85 (Tex. 1998) (per curiam) for the proposition that if a property insurer fails to pay the full amount of the claim as a result of an unfair claim settlement practice under the Insurance Code, the insured may elect to recover damages under a breach of contract or statutory violation theory.
In Waite Hill, the insured sued for policy damages and Insurance Code and DTPA violations, as well as common law bad faith. The jury was asked in a single question about damages for the breach of contract and "ostensibly . . . about tort and statutory damages" in a second question, subdivided into three parts. The second question's three parts, however, were identical to the contractual damages—reasonable cost to repair, lost profits and cost to replace lost product. The jury awarded the identical amounts for damages for both claims. The trial court entered judgment for the insured for both damage figures awarded by the jury. The insurer argued on appeal that awarding both sets of damages was an impermissible double recovery because the damages awarded were identical. Id. at 184. The Texas Supreme Court agreed. The court held:
[The insured] was injured by having to pay out-of-pocket for repair costs that the policy covered. [The insured] may have suffered some tort losses, distinct from its claims on the policy. However, [the insured] offered no evidence, nor, as evidenced by Question 6, submitted a request for distinct tort losses. Thus, the trial court erred when it refused Colony's request that the [insured] elect a remedy.
Id. at 185 (emphasis added).
Despite the court of appeals' reliance on Waite Hill, that case does not stand for the proposition that an insured can recover Insurance Code and DTPA damages or common law bad faith damages without an injury independent of the contract damages. The court overlooked the point that statutory and common law claims would not exist but for the contractual relationship between AMJ and United National. The only means for the insured to recover policy benefits was for a claim under the insurance contract and not under a statutory or tort cause of action.
This was a 2 to 1 decision with one justice dissenting on the grounds that AMJ did not prove its damages were reasonable and necessary, and for that reason would have reversed and rendered judgment in favor of United National.
United National currently plans to seek a rehearing en banc and appeal to the Texas Supreme Court, if necessary.

Sully – Happy Tails Animal Rescue Inc.
How he came to Happy Tails: From Mum Kelly: "I don't like to think of animals as broken, but Sully was absolutely as damaged a soul as I've ever encountered. I don't know that he's ever had people, he was found as a stray in Nth Qld at around a year old and ended up in a pound, on death row. He made his way to Brisbane and into our care, eventually coming to my house in October last year.
In his time with me we spent around 2 hours a day for the first 2 months, working on his trust issues. He'd obviously had such bad experiences with humans in the past, he just cowered all the time, expecting to be hurt again. He was never aggressive, just completely withdrawn and emotionally shutdown.
I read him stories so he'd get used to my voice, hand fed him so he'd learn peoples hand could be for good things. All throughout his rehabilitation we stuck by the principle that if he trusted me, then "nothing bad would happen". He learned to like playing with toys & love getting brushed, eventually adoring being patted and getting chin scratches.
He developed a nasty allergic reaction to a flea treatment that became infected. He patiently let me bathe his wound and apply his ointment multiple times a day without complaint for nearly two weeks.
After that first two months he was ready to come out of his isolation room and just become part of the household. Just before Christmas he joined the other cats and I realised how he'd survived so long on his own before rescue. He is amazing with other cats! Old cats, grumpy cats, young kittens, he made friends with them all instantly.
Since then he's continued to make progress. Learning how to be a regular house cat and be able to finally unwind. He's learnt how to cope with the noise of the tv, vacuum and even storms, like a champ".
Why he is retired as Golden Tails: Sully had an adoption application in, after almost a year of getting ready when he suddenly became ill, passing blood in his urine. He stayed at the vets for several days, where discovered he'd formed bladder crystals/stones. He had all the best care with his lovely vet team, who thankfully managed to avoid surgery. He will be prone to the issue reoccurring, and stress is a major factor, so the decision was made to retire him.
Their Happy Tale: "I'm so grateful to Happy Tails for firstly giving him a chance when everyone else said he was a lost cause and couldn't come back from living in the wild. And then of course for allowing him to be under their care in the Golden Tails program, in my home, for the rest of his life. Sully has foster brothers and sisters now who all love him. He will never be sad or scared, lost or lonely, for the rest of his days".
How your donation helps: All of Sully's vetwork is covered for life. This includes regular items such as health checks, vaccinations and prescription food; but also extra items such as blood tests and x-rays.


I have worked in the South Eastern Suburbs since 2011 where I have enjoyed working with Russian Speaking clients as I speak Russian. My Eastern European background has led me to work with many cultures in many different facilities from all different walks of life.
My Strengths include: Orthotic therapy for tendinopathy associated with sporting injuries, strapping and taping as required, utilising a great stretches and strengthening program and listening to what my patients want out of the consultation. I also do a great ingrown toe nail surgery when required!
I work in a multidisciplinary environment alongside an Osteopath, a Psychologist, as well as some fantastic General practitioners to bring about a head to toe approach to health care. I enjoys liaising and learning from different medical practitioners to take on a more holistic approach to health care.
In my spare time, I enjoy running after my two daughters who keep me well and truly on my toes!


Conflict is an inevitable part of life. People face disagreements and problems anytime and anywhere. Thankfully, not all of these disputes are harmful or serious, but when it becomes worse, going to court to settle it becomes necessary but not the end all be all answer.
A dispute resolution is the term used to address such type of court process. Court trials in our current court systems take a lot of time before arriving to a conclusion. Currently, there are two types of dispute processes that people and businesses prefer to use than going about the traditional way: the online dispute resolution and alternative dispute resolution. This article will provide you with an overview on how this dispute processes work, their advantage, as well as turnaround times, so when the time comes that you will need to settle a dispute yourself, you will know which of these processes will be the right one for you.
The alternative dispute resolution takes an average of 256 days to be resolved. To settle disputes using the ADR would not require the presence of a third party, like lawyers and such, thus, saving lawyer fees. The major reason for the wide acceptance of the ADR process is its flexibility. It enables the parties involved to choose the kind of technique that will facilitate their meeting. Court proceedings are too formal; an ADR is less complicated, less stressful, and less intimidating.
This is the online equivalent of an ADR and also is the most optimal method of all. An ODR utilizes technology to resolve disputes between parties. Online technologies and innovative techniques solve disputes through ODR faster, making your anticipation for the result less stressful. ODR is applicable to a wide range of commercial and consumer conflicts, but is traditionally used for resolution of e-commerce disputes, since the location of each party is far from each other making each of them rely on the Internet.
In conclusion, there are a lot of people who prefer the convenience and effective turnaround time that an Online Dispute Resolution has offered, and when it comes to processing your dispute, SwiftJudgment.com is the first and only company to offer ODR service nationwide using real court judges, up-to-date technology, and allows each party to meet online and be directly involved in the settlement of their case.
ODR is effective and a facility for those users who do not want their matters to be presented in any court. It is new adoption according to the advancement of technology to provide users an effective service because they want to resolve their disputes.


If you look closely, there are lessons everywhere. For example, when I'm outside with my dog for a while, she wants to come back in. When we're inside, she wants to go out! "The grass is always greener on the other side," isn't unique to humans. It's a curious trait we share with man's best friend; and it got me thinking- What else do we have in common with our K9 compadres? At its core, architecture is creating shelter and habitable space. It's a primitive need, and one of the world's oldest professions. Maybe… to create great architecture, we don't need to use words like ephemeral, parti, and symmetry. Maybe… we just need to let out a good bark and a howl! What do I mean? Take a look at the 10 Things My Dog Taught Me About Architecture.
10. Don't poop where you sleep.
Develop a program of spaces, listing the function of the spaces. Starting with an organized program leads to a healthy and efficient environment.
9. Bask in the sun.
Providing natural light improves productivity, mental health, & causes your body to produce needed Vitamin D.
8. Want to go outside?
Integrating outdoor living and getting fresh air is good for you!
7. What do you see?
Capitalize on view. That which you gaze upon, you become; so let's make sure that what you gaze upon is beautiful.
Design for your routine. Like Pavlov's dog, we are creatures of habit; and to improve your daily experience, design with your patterns in mind.
5. Give me that ball!
Create spaces to socialize, exercise, & play. While we often think of basic, necessary, functional spaces, we should remember to design spaces that aid in creating a balanced life.
Design to avoid distractions and surprises. Someone can't be hiding around that corner if that corner doesn't exist!
Design to make your space unique to you. It will give you a sense of ownership and pride, and you will take better care of it.
Design for comfort. You have enough stress already. Craft spaces that will provide relief.
1. Unconditional love makes every space better!
The spaces we create are not about the spaces themselves. Great architecture focuses on the people (and puppies) that use them!

Happy Birthday to our hardworking members this month.
Happy Birthday to one of our hardworking members this month.
Our very busy Ray Bishop.
Recently, several of the Rotaractors went to Gramedia bookstore to choose 10 ,000,000 rupiah (about US$775) worth of books for their Mobile Library project. The money was donated by the Ogopogo Rotary club of Canada through the hard work of Diane Parker. They were lucky as we withdrew the money when it arrived and thus received more rupiah than if we waited until now. Also they received a 10% discount plus "souvenirs" to pass on to the children. We arrived at the end of the process in time to pay the money. Now they will have a Mobile Library Day in Pejeng, a small villiage East of Ubud, on one of the Saturdays in March to which we are all invited and encouraged to attend. They will let us know when. In the meantime with remaining money they will buy prizes for the children as part of the reading games.
D3420's RYLA took place on April 12-14. The event was hosted by our club Bali Ubud Sunset and ably let by chair Rtn PROBO. 22 participants aged 15-24 forsook their cell phones for three days and took part in the Outward Bound-type leadership training program, climbing ropes, falling into the mud.
In Nusa Penida, an small island off Bali, the Bali Starlings being revived from near extinction have a new nesting place high in the trees thanks to the donation of $100 from our club.

Dream Ryder Cup Role for PGA Graduate
8.01am 30th September 2011	- People - This story was updated on Saturday, October 8th, 2011
Eleanor Woodall (far left) courtesy of Jamie Jones Photography
A graduate is celebrating getting the 'job of a lifetime' with Ryder Cup France 2018 – just months after finishing the PGA and Birmingham University accredited degree course in Applied Golf Management Studies.
Bilingual Eleanor Woodall has secured the all-encompassing role of Ryder Cup project supervisor, having admitted she only applied for the post speculatively.
Now the 21-year-old, who only graduated this summer, is now taking stock of the job she has secured and how it will dominate the next seven years of her life in the build up to 42nd Ryder Cup matches at Le Golf National near Paris – only the second Continental venue – following Club de Golf, Valderrama, in Spain in 1997 – to host the event.
"I applied for the job never expecting to it get as I was really young, had only just graduated and given that so many people in France have got degrees, I didn't expect much," she said. "At the interview, they were quite shocked that I was so young and with a considerable amount of experience had to ask me again just to check I was 21.
"The AGMS degree gave my application added value; not only for what I learned but also for the experience I gained on placement. Speaking fluent French and English also helped and all these factors mean I've now got a job for the next seven years!
"I start the job in October and I have to admit it's a rather great job title – Ryder Cup project supervisor. I'll be supervising the programme and overseeing the co-ordination of all of the projects linked with the entire event in France. One of them is to get 100 new golf clubs and make the sport more financially accessible for everyone. I'll have to make sure that the courses are being built.
"There will be so much going on, it's incredible to think I have this job."
Prior to landing the role, Woodall, who was born in Geneva, as her parents worked for the United Nations, and grew up in Brittany, had been working for Elite Coaching Golf Academy, in Evian-des-Bain, home of the Evian Masters.
"I did my placement with them while I was on the AGMS course and when I finished I got a job with them," she said. "It's a small company but it's got a big future. They work by Lake Geneva in the summer and then go to Australiain the winter. My boss wanted me to go and the lure of Australia and working out there was so tempting but being given the chance to work on the Ryder Cup was too good an opportunity."
Woodall was one of six women to graduate this year from the course, which was the highest number since the AGMS degree was launched nearly 10 years ago. Gary Jackson, AGMS programme manager for the PGA added: "The AGMS course is very challenging but offers all students a solid grounding for a wide range of careers in the golf industry.
"Eleanor was an exceptionally hard-working student and is the latest in a long line of graduates to secure excellent roles within the game and I am sure she will be a great success with Ryder Cup 2018."

Blogging the Wolfe Book, a Moment of Silence
Posted on February 17, 2006 by lmharnisch
Wednesday was the 61st anniversary of the kidnapping of 6-year-old Rochelle Gluskoter from the frontyard of a home around the corner from where her parents, Abe and Miriam, were preparing to open their market at 8464 S. Central Ave. Rochelle's skeletal remains were found in a remote part of Orange County on Nov. 9. 1947. The case was never solved.
Now back to all Wolfe's stuff about "Uncle Vern," who is presented as a disgraced former prosecutor but really wasn't. This is terrible research and worse writing. Just an out-and-out lie.
"… resigning in 1938 under a cloud of scandal, along with Mayor Frank Shaw and District Attorney Buron Fitts."
These comments, along with remarks about Dist. Atty. Steve Cooley assembling an archive of city and county documents on old cases, show a distressing unfamiliarity with local government. The district attorney is a Los Angeles County post, an entirely separate jurisdiction from the city of Los Angeles.
Wolfe is also wrong when he says Frank Shaw resigned—he was defeated in the Sept. 16, 1938, recall election and on Sept. 26, 1938, greeted his successor, Fletcher Bowron, and turned over the keys to his office.
But wait. Buron Fitts not only didn't resign as district attorney in 1938, he held office for two more years until he was defeated in the 1940 election by attorney John Dockweiler, who had the endorsement of—Mr. Corruption himself, Joe Shaw, Mayor Shaw's brother. (For the record, The Times endorsed Fitts).
What's this? Fitts got an indictment against Joe Shaw? Fitts won a conviction against Joe Shaw and William Cormack on 63 counts of selling answers to Civil Service exams for the police and fire departments? Shaw and Cormack were sentenced to five to 70 years in prison?
My goodness. It's certainly a challenge to say Fitts and Mayor Shaw were in a corrupt conspiracy when Fitts sent the main offender, his brother Joe Shaw, to prison.
Oh boy. We're heading quickly into vintage malfeasance: Paul Bern and Thelma Todd. I consider myself a specialist rather than a generalist and stick to the Black Dahlia case so I may take a rain check on some of this material unless it turns out to be somehow connected to the murder of Elizabeth Short.
Wolfe dispenses with Bern's suicide in one line:
"Before the days of tabloid scandal sheets, Buron Fitts had covered up enough crimes and scandals to decimate forests of tabloid pulp. One of the notorious scandals had involved the alleged suicide of Jean Harlow's husband, Paul Bern, who many believed had been murdered by mobster Longy Zwillman."
"Many believed?" Like who?
For the record, Bern's nude body was found Sept. 5, 1932, in the closet off his bedroom, a bullet in his temple and a .38 revolver clutched in his hand in what was apparently a death grip. A suicide note on the table:
"Dearest Dear: Unfortunately, this is the only way to make good the frightful wrong I have done you and to wipe out my abject humiliation. Paul." He added the postscript: "You understand that last night was only a comedy."
In 1933, the Los Angeles County Grand Jury opened an investigation of Bern's death. Fitts said: "If information should be disclosed warranting a reopening of the Bern case, such action will be taken." The grand jury interviewed more than 50 witnesses and issued a long statement concluding: "We are definitely of the opinion at this time that Paul Bern died as a suicide.
"After a thorough and exhaustive examination, we are of the opinion that the facts as disclosed do not warrant the expenditure of public moneys for further proceedings in this case." I invite anyone who cares to read the entire statement to peruse the March 1, 1933, Los Angeles Times, first page of Part II.
Not exactly a cover-up, is it?
Suggested further reading: "The Lid Off Los Angeles," a series of weekly articles in Liberty magazine, Nov. 11-Dec. 16, 1939, which prompted a libel suit by former Mayor Shaw. It's available on microfilm at the downtown Los Angeles Public Library.
A day's posting on one sentence doesn't bode well, does it? Especially when Wolfe says exactly the opposite of what actually occurred.

Q: Solving a quadratic expression I have an equation of the form: $$x'Ax - B$$ where $A$ is a positive definite matrix. I want to solve this equation for $x$. Could anyone provide me with some suggestions on how to solve this kind of quadratic expression?

A: Making a guess about what you might mean by the word solve. First, find a Cholesky decomposition
$$ C^T C = A.  $$
Find
$$ W = C^{-1}. $$
Take any real column vector  $y$ such that
$$ |y|^2 = y \cdot y = B.  $$
Then
$$ x = W y  $$
gives
$$ x^T A x = B. $$

Q: Boundary value advection equation Given the signalling problem from the exercises of Chapter 2.1 in the Introduction to Non-Linear PDE's by Logan we have
\begin{equation}
\partial_t u - x^2 \cdot \partial_x u= 0 \\
u(0,t) = g(t)
\end{equation}
Using the method of characteristics we get
$$
\frac{\text{d} u}{\text{d} t} = 0 \text{ along } x = \frac{1}{t+\eta} = C(t, \eta)
$$
for some $\eta \in \mathbb{R}$. However I'm not sure how to proceed to get a general solution for $u$. I'd assume we have to separate the characteristics with different solutions for $x > C(t, \eta)$ and $x < C(t, \eta)$.

Changing climates
World rulers think their inaction at Copenhagen will save their position of privilege, but the people aren't rolling over.
by Bruce Wark
My favourite media moment at the Copenhagen climate conference came last Thursday when Evo Morales declared: "Capitalism is the worst enemy of humanity." Bolivia's president was being interviewed by Amy Goodman, host of Democracy Now, heard at noon weekdays on CKDU.
Morales, speaking through a translator, described the irrational and unlimited industrialization that destroys the environment. He added that capitalism could only be overcome by ending luxury and consumerism. "So that's why we're trying to think about other ways of living [our] lives and living well, not living better," he said. "Living better is always at someone else's expense."
I chuckled knowing that capitalism's main defenders, Barack Obama and his little pal Harper, couldn't do a goddamn thing to squelch Morales or the leaders of other poor nations who questioned a rampaging economic system based on fraud, ignorance and greed. All Obama and Harper could do---and they did it---was to do nothing about climate change. Both have earned the undying curses of future generations. The US Environmental Protection Agency warns, for example, of far-reaching climate change effects---everything from coastal erosion and flooding, to drought and wild fires. The Natural Resources Canada website carries similar warnings including an ominous one about the threat of serious flooding in downtown Halifax. A recent provincial report on the state of Nova Scotia's coasts predicts an accelerating rise in sea levels over the next century of between 70 and 140 centimetres. Yes, we'll all feel the impact of climate change. No wonder there's such strong public support in both Canada and the US for serious climate change measures, yet Obama and Harper diddle while the world burns.
My second-favourite media moment came last Wednesday as a United Nations security guard escorted the chair of Friends of the Earth International out of the climate change conference centre. Nnimmo Bassey, sporting a well-tailored suit jacket and burgundy scarf, calmly told Amy Goodman that the UN had suddenly revoked all of his organization's security passes. Bassey, a prominent Nigerian environmental activist, said Friends of the Earth had representatives accredited from all over the world. "And today we expected to have about 90 delegates in here, but not one has been allowed in," he said as the security guard kept urging him to leave. "And we are here as ordinary people, grassroots mobilizers, just to speak the mind of the people that want a real climate deal in Copenhagen. But apparently our leaders want to be cocooned away, to listen only to themselves."
As Bassey was led away, he barely had time to describe the "horrendous" effects of climate change in Nigeria. "We have ocean surges. We have desertification for the north, drought, all the evils---the oil corporations burning gas relentlessly." The next day, Canadian journalist Naomi Klein commented that Bassey has been imprisoned because of his activism in fighting the oil companies devastating the Niger Delta. "And he has physically been kept out of this centre, even though he's accredited," Klein added. "And meanwhile, the oil executives are walking free in the hallways. It's the world upside down."
Or, maybe, it's just the upside-down world of capitalism. Leaders of the rich, capitalist countries may wish to cocoon themselves away to discuss climate change. But that's becoming increasingly impossible in our wired global village where most of the villagers have figured out that climate change is about a lot more than rising temperatures. It's also about the stark divisions between rich and poor, haves and have-nots, the 1.1 billion who live on less than a dollar a day. It's also about trade, aid and Third World debt; famine, hunger and untreated disease. It's about violence, prisons, occupation and war; economic exploitation and profits; the heedless destruction of wildlife and forests; the loss of indigenous cultures. But most of all, climate change is about the struggle for justice.

The Law Firm of Sean F. Leslie, Attorney at Law, provides aggressive criminal defense representation by an experienced criminal lawyer for those clients charged with juvenile delinquency offenses. Juveniles, persons under the age of 18, can be charged with same the crimes as adults; however, the goal of the juvenile justice system, procedures, and consequences differ dramatically!
The goal of the criminal adult system is to punish defendants, while the goal of the juvenile justice system is to rehabilitate youthful offenders. Therefore, several alternatives may be available to rehabilitate juveniles without being formally "convicted" of crime.
If a juvenile petition is filed against the minor, he or she may be eligible for informal supervision pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section, 654 depending on the charge Informal supervision can result in the charges being DISMISSED after the probationary period if the juvenile complies with a probation officer's plan of supervision.
At my Firm we have been successful in obtaining 654 dismissals for juvenile clients charged with driving under the influence with Blood Alcohol Concentration over .20% and other crimes.
Likewise, a minor charged with more serious crimes may also be eligible for a similar, but more intense, program called Deferred Entry of Judgment under Welfare and Institutions Code section 790. The minors' petition will be DISMISSED if successfully completed.
Again, my firm has successfully handled many juvenile clients' cases resulting in 790 dismissals even with charges of assault with a deadly weapon and other crimes. A minor who is charged with the commission of a felony offense, may also be eligible for Deferred Entry of Judgment if they meet certain requirements.
Court procedures also differ in juvenile from adult cases. Unlike adult criminal cases that go to jury trial, juveniles are not entitled to a jury trial except in rare cases. A judge will hear the evidence and decide the fate of the minor!
It is important to have an attorney experienced in the Juvenile Court system who can navigate through the complex juvenile delinquency process. Simple steps such as challenging a particular judge who may be biased against the minor can have a big impact on the ultimate outcome of the case.
The consequences in a juvenile delinquency matter also differ from an adult criminal case. For example, a child may be deemed a ward of the court, removed from his or her parents home, placed in juvenile hall, or even be committed to the California Youth Authority (CYA) now called the Division of Juvenile Justice.
Call my Law Firm to speak with a juvenile delinquency attorney not a paralegal or case manager.
At my firm we have competent criminal lawyers with vast experience in juvenile delinquency criminal defense cases. A knowledgeable and experienced juvenile criminal lawyer can make the difference your child's future.
I take personal responsibility in my firm's "commitment to excellence" in obtaining a favorable result on you or your child's case whether it's in San Diego County or elsewhere. I look forward to hearing from and meeting you soon. Once again, thank you for consulting with a criminal lawyer in my law firm for your legal representation.

Tracy McGrady is unsure about Rockets chances of reaching West Finals
Kevin Austria
In a recent interview with Chinese media, former Houston Rockets' star and retired player Tracy McGrady stated he was unsure the Rockets would make a return trip to the Western Conference Finals.
Chris Paul joined MVP James Harden last season and helped push the Golden State Warriors to seven games last season but lost key contributors Trevor Ariza and Luc Mbah a Moute while the rest of the conference continues to close the gap.
The Los Angeles Lakers notably added LeBron James over the summer while the Oklahoma City Thunder retained Paul George for another run with Russell Westbrook. The Portland Trailblazers look to build on their top three finish in the West last season. The Utah Jazz are primed to make another deep playoff push after being the surprise team of last year. The Denver Nuggets, with the addition of two-time All-star Isaiah Thomas, look to be a dark horse team.
The Rockets themselves made a move of their own by signing 10-time All-star and three-time Olympic gold medal winner Carmelo Anthony.
Anthony played for the Thunder last season, where he struggled to fit in his style of play with the rest of his teammates. This was made worse by his poor performance during the playoffs on both ends of the floor as they ended their season with an underwhelming first round exit in the hands of the Jazz.
If Carmelo again fails to live up to the expectations, Harden and Paul might not be enough to earn them a date with the Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference Finals.
The post Tracy McGrady is unsure about Rockets chances of reaching West Finals appeared first on ClutchPoints.

A Milestone on the Road to Becoming a Third-World Economy
Northrop Grumman Corp started California's New Year by announcing it is moving its headquarters to the Washington D.C. area. Unfortunately, they are neither the first nor the last major corporation to leave Southern California. It is a trend, one that may not last much longer, though since aren't that many major corporations still headquartered in greater Los Angeles.
For decades, Southern California was the center of the aerospace world, a basic part of the Southern California's DNA. Now, once Northrop leaves, there will be no major aerospace companies still headquartered in Southern California.
Aerospace is not the only industry abandoning Southern California. The region was once host to financial giants, like Bank of America, Security Pacific Bank, Countrywide, and First Interstate. Today, there are none. California was once a major automobile manufacturing state, with a dozen plants. Even the entertainment industry is slowly shifting away from its Hollywood roots.
When you lose corporate headquarters, you lose more than jobs. You lose the tax base, the leadership, the philanthropic giving, and the intangibles. Corporate headquarters are usually very good citizens.
Many local political leaders ignore this business' exodus, or make excuses. The decline of the U.S. defense spending, aerospace spending in particular, is often given as a reason for the decline. But the last decade was not a bad one for defense; the industry thrived, just not in Southern California.
The reasons for this exodus are both simpler and less flattering than those usually given. One big reason is selfishness. California's decline chose to consume, and not to produce. Wealthy, aging, Baby Boomers control the state. In the cause of "quality of life," or "the environment," they have succeeded in limiting opportunity for everyone else.
The other big reason for decline lies with governments, state and local, that now exist to serve themselves and not their citizens. The level of government goods and services, even infrastructure and basics, has declined, but state spending, adjusted for inflation and population, has continued to soar. The difference has been going into public employee's pockets, through higher salaries, benefits, and generous retirement programs.
Remarkably, no Southern California economic sector is in ascendancy. Unemployment remains well above the national average, particularly in the middle class Inland Empire. The growth in bankruptcies has been about twice that of the United States. The state is becoming less equitable, the divide between those who have and those who do not have constantly growing, the middle class declining.
Southern California is starting to look a lot like a third-world economy, service based, inequitable, serving a wealthy, mostly aging few, with little opportunity for younger workers and a large underclass. Changing the region's prospects will be very difficult. Nothing short of a major generational change in leadership is likely to change the current sad trajectory.

Breaking Bad: California vs. the Other States
Submitted by Richard Rider - Chairman - San Dieg... on Thu, 01/07/2010 - 01:12.

Version 1.52 Revised 20 December, 2009
Here's a depressing comparison of California taxes and economic climate with the rest of the states. The news is breaking bad, and getting worse (I keep updating this article):
California has the 2nd worst state income tax in the nation. 9.55% tax bracket at $47,055. 10.55% at $1,000,000
http://www.taxfoundation.org/files/bp59_es.pdf
By far the highest state sales tax rate in the nation. 8.25%. 7% is next highest (does not include local sales taxes)
http://www.taxfoundation.org/files/bp59.pdf Table #15
California corporate income tax rate is the highest in the West (our economic competitors). 8.84%
http://www.taxfoundation.org/files/bp59.pdf Table #8
2010 Business Tax Climate ranks 48th in the nation.
www.taxfoundation.org/files/bp59_es.pdf
Fourth highest capital gains tax 9.55%
www.thereibrain.com/realestate-blog/capital-gains-tax-rates-state-by-sta...
Highest gasoline tax (averaging 65.8 cents/gallon) in the nation (October, 2009). When gas hits $3.00/gallon, we are numero uno – because unlike many states, we charge sales tax on gasoline purchases (built into the price).
www.api.org/statistics/fueltaxes/
Third highest unemployment rate in the nation. (November, 2009) 12.3%. National rate 10.0%.
www.bls.gov/news.release/laus.nr0.htm
One of the highest state vehicle license car taxes. 1.15% per year on value of vehicle, up from 0.65% in 2008.
http://tinyurl.com/lrvmtd
California's 2009 "Tax Freedom Day" (the day the average taxpayer stops working for government and start working for oneself) is again the 4th worst date in the nation – up from 28th worst in 1994.
www.taxfoundation.org/research/show/387.html
To offset lower state revenues, 29 states are proposing 2009 state tax and fee increases totaling $24 billion. California, with 12% of the nation's population, is proposing 47% of that increase (6/5/09).

California has 12% of the nation's population, but 36% of the country's TANF ("Temporary" Assistance for Needy Families) welfare recipients – more than the next 7 states combined. Unlike other states, this "temporary" assistance becomes much more permanent in CA.

California teachers easily the highest paid in the nation.

California now has the lowest bond ratings of any state, edging out Louisiana.
www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2009/03/19/BA7F16JLKH.DTL
California ranks 44th worst in "2008 lawsuit climate."
www.instituteforlegalreform.com/component/ilr_featured_tools/29/item/LAI...
In 2005 (latest figures), for every dollar Californians sent to D.C. in taxes, we got back 78 cents – 43rd worst.
www.taxfoundation.org/taxdata/show/22685.html
America's top CEO's rank California "the worst place in which to do business" for the fourth straight year (3/2009). But here's the interesting part – they think California is a great state to live (primarily for the great climate) – they just won't bring their businesses here because of the oppressive tax and regulatory climate.
Consider this quote from the survey (a conclusion reflected in the rankings of the characteristics of the state): "California has huge advantages with its size, quality of work force, particularly in high tech, as well as the quality of life and climate advantages of the state. However, it is an absolute regulatory and tax disaster."

California, a destitute state, still gives away college education at fire sale prices. Our community college tuition is by far the lowest in the nation. How low? Nationwide, the average community college tuition is 4.5 times higher than California CC's. This ridiculously low tuition devalues education to students – resulting in a 30+% drop rate for class completion. In addition, 2/3 of California CC students pay no tuition at all – filling out a simple unverified "hardship" form that exempts them from any tuition payment, or receiving grants and tax credits for their full tuition.

On top of that, California offers thousands of absolutely free adult continuing education classes – a sop to the upper middle class. In San Diego, over 1,400 classes for everything from baking pastries to ballroom dancing are offered totally at taxpayer expense.

California residential electricity costs an average of 35.4% more than the national average. For industrial use, CA electricity is 56.2% higher than the national average (2007).

www.eia.doe.gov/cneaf/electricity/epm/table5_6_a.html
It costs 38% more to build solar panels in California than in Tennessee – which is why European corporations have invested $2.3 billion in two Tennessee manufacturing plants to build solar panels for our state.

Consider California's net domestic migration (migration between states). From April, 2000 through June, 2008 (8 years, 2 months) California has lost a NET 1.4 million people. The departures slowed in 2008 only because people couldn't sell their homes.
www.mdp.state.md.us/msdc/Pop_estimate/Estimate_08/table5.pdf
These are not welfare kings and queens departing. They are the young, the educated, the productive, the ambitious, the wealthy (such as Tiger Woods), and retirees seeking to make their pensions provide more bang for the buck. The irony is that a disproportionate number of these seniors are retired state and local government employees fleeing the state that provides them with their opulent pensions – in order to avoid the high taxes that these same employees pushed so hard through their unions.
As taxes rise and jobs disappear, we lose our tax base, continuing California's state and local fiscal death spiral. This spiral must stop NOW.

you're only counting the bad news

Everyone complains that their state has the worst taxes. In terms of total average tax burden, Calif. is above average but not overwhelmingly so. You're forgetting that California also has among the lowest average property tax rates of any state, because of Prop 13; low personal income tax for the lower tax brackets; low local sales taxes (an average of <1% compared to an average of over 4% in some states).
http://www.ccsce.com/pdf/Numbers-oct07-HighTaxState.pdf
California also has one of the highest state per capita GDPs and highest per capita incomes, and grew by 3 million in population over the last decade, so however lousy a place you say it is, the facts seem to suggest otherwise.

Your numbers here are from 2007! A lot has changed in the last 2 years here in California. Dramatic increases ($12B) in sales and income taxes were just passed by Sacramento last year - matching the numbers in the original post.
Here's a link to 2008 state tax burdens - http://www.taxfoundation.org/taxdata/show/443.html - where we rank 6th. Obviously this does not include the 2009 increases, nor does it include the high corporate and cap gain taxes that are also cited in the original post.

Is this push or pull? I might suggest that latter. It seems to fit well with Joel's writing on the increasing centralization of economic decision making in Washington. I saw someone tweet that "This completes Northrup Grumman's transition from a defense contractor to a lobbying firm." There is a certain logic in being close to your customer.

15 winners have been selected by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC), a division of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) following its blockchain research challenge.
Announced last month, the HHS sought whitepapers as a part of the "Use of Blockchain in Health IT and Health-related Research Challenge", a competition to look into the potential utilization of blockchain technology in healthcare.
The ONC said that it received over 70 submissions in total. The participants included individuals, organizations and companies, pitching and probing ways in which blockchain technology could be used in healthcare IT, to manage, exchange and protect electronic health information.
From the overall pool, 15 submissions were chosen as the final winners.
We are thrilled by the incredible amount of interest in this challenge. While many know about Blockchain technology's uses for digital currency purposes, the challenge submissions show its exciting potential for new, innovative uses in healthcare.
The winning whitepapers were chosen due to several factors. The papers' creativity, ability to information and foster transformative changes in the industry and their proposed solutions or recommendations for market viability were all considered. So too, were parameters including the underlying potential to support different national health and health information objectives that includes progressing the flow of health information to a destination where it is most required.
The most notable endeavor by a private enterprise to research and explore blockchain usability and potential in healthcare is the case of Dutch giant Phillips. While the electronics maker is prominently known for its household appliances, the company's largest business is its healthcare arm. Philips competes with the likes of General Electric and Siemens AG to gain a slice of the lucrative hospital scanner market. The first sign of the company's foray into blockchain-based research for the healthcare industry was revealed late last year.
Our aim is to learn if blockchain technology could potentially add value to the process of data exchange in the healthcare industry.
The very notion of archiving and securely accessing patient records by an authorized doctor at the required time could prove to be life-saving. Even from a security standpoint, hospitals are resigned to depending on offline records predominantly in locally installed computers, a practice frequently exploited by ransomware extortionists in recent times. The increasing number of cyberattacks targeting healthcare organizations and hospitals prompted security agencies in the U.S. and Canada to issue alerts to the healthcare industry in both countries. Blockchain technology could help immunize patient records and information from cyberattacks, while safeguarding the data from breaches.
The complete list of winners of the blockchain competition can be found here. Contestants who submitted the winning entries are also flown to Washington D.C. to formally present the papers to the HHS.
