Bill seeking to weaken Ellis Act passes State Senate
May 30, 2014 in California Housing Market, Real Estate, Silicon Valley, Silicon Valley Association of REALTORS®, Silicon Valley Housing Market | Tags: California Association of REALTORS® (C.A.R.), Ellis Act, SB 1439 (Leno) | Leave a comment
Members of the Silicon Valley Association of REALTORS® (SILVAR) are disappointed that the State Senate passed a bill yesterday that will dramatically weaken the Ellis Act in San Francisco, and could serve as a precedent for weakening the law statewide. The California Association of REALTORS® (C.A.R.) strongly opposed SB 1439 (Leno) and SILVAR members lobbied against the measure on Legislative Day this year.
The Senate rejected SB 1439 by a slim margin on Wednesday. Leno then agreed to draft an amendment that would differentiate between small family holdings and speculators. This amendment garnered the votes necessary for the bill to pass yesterday.
C.A.R. sponsored the Ellis Act in 1985. The law allows property owners to evict tenants in order to leave the rental business. SB 1439 would require a landlord to own a building for at least five years before evicting a tenant under the Ellis Act. It would include corporate landlords and apply to all owners of the corporation. Once a property owner submits a request to Ellis Act evict, the law would prohibit them from conducting Ellis Act evictions on any property subsequently purchased.
SB 1439 only applies to the city and county of San Francisco. AB 2405, a companion bill that would have applied statewide, failed to clear the Assembly Judiciary Committee on April 29.
SILVAR members raised multiple concerns about SB 1439 with local legislators on Legislative Day. "REALTORS® explained how this bill would discourage investment in property ownership and could impact selling prices. It would also encourage owners to evict all tenants prior to putting a property up for sale because an empty property becomes more valuable. said David Tonna, president of the SILVAR. "San Francisco already has some of the most protective and expensive eviction rules in the state."
The bill is scheduled to go before the State Assembly for deliberation this summer.
REALTORS® glad Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac won't cut loan limits
May 23, 2014 in California Housing Market, Real Estate, Silicon Valley, Silicon Valley Association of REALTORS®, Silicon Valley Housing Market | Tags: California Association of REALTORS, conforming loan limit, David Tonna, Fannie Mae, Federal Housing Finance Agency, Freddie Mac, Kevin Brown, Mel Watt, Silicon Valley Association of REALTORS® | Leave a comment
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will not be reducing loan limits, the new director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) announced last week. FHFA Director Mel Watt's decision not to direct the government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) to lower the limits for home loans that they back is a major shift in direction of his predecessor, who favored winding down their role in mortgage finance.
The conforming loan limit will remain at $417,000 in most areas and at $625,500 in high-cost areas like Santa Clara and San Mateo counties. Watt also said the agency was taking steps to loosen mortgage credit by easing standards on when banks could be forced to buy back some loans sold to Fannie and Freddie.
A conforming loan limit is the maximum size for loans that can be purchased by government-sponsored enterprises Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. Mortgages purchased by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are generally less expensive than the larger jumbo loans because the government absorbs the cost of default.
Watt's announcement is good news, especially for California home buyers, said David Tonna, president of the Silicon Valley Association of REALTORS®. "If the FHFA were to lower the loan limits, it would force home buyers to pay more for their mortgages and undermine home ownership affordability. High-cost areas like Silicon Valley are already experiencing shrinking housing affordability," said Tonna.
The California Association of REALTORS® (C.A.R.) immediately commended the new FHFA director's announcement. "C.A.R. commends FHFA Director Melvin Watt for his announcement that the FHFA will not reduce loan limits on loans eligible for purchase by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac," said C.A.R. President Kevin Brown. "Lower loan limits would have had an adverse effect in many parts of the country, but especially here in California where rebounding home prices and decreasing home affordability would hamper mortgage activity and impact the housing recovery."
Silicon Valley REALTORS® among 8,000 REALTORS® in Washington, D.C.
May 16, 2014 in California Housing Market, Real Estate, Silicon Valley, Silicon Valley Association of REALTORS®, Silicon Valley Housing Market | Tags: David Barca, Mortgage Interest Deduction, NAR President Steve Brown, National Association of REALTORS, Paul Cardus, REALTOR® Party Convention, U.S. Representative Anna Eshoo, U.S. Representative Jackie Speier, U.S. Representative Mike Honda, U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein | Leave a comment
Members of the Silicon Valley Association of REALTORS® (SILVAR) were in Washington, D.C. this week attending the National Association of REALTORS®' (NAR) REALTOR® Party Convention & Trade Expo, with nearly 8,500 other REALTORS® from across the country, advocating policies that impact the residential and commercial real estate markets. REALTORS® met with legislators, congressional and regulatory staff, as well as top industry executives.
This year's convention focused on critical real estate issues such as preserving the mission and accessibility of the Federal Housing Administration's loan programs, protecting real estate-related tax policies, and reforming the secondary mortgage market.
"This week is important, not only because REALTORS® want to ensure their points-of-view on important real estate issues are heard, but also to remind our country's leaders of the vital role that real estate plays in both the long- and short-term health of this nation," said NAR President Steve Brown.
SILVAR members attended U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein's weekly constituent breakfast and met with staff of U.S. Representatives Anna Eshoo, Jackie Speier and Mike Honda. During meetings on Capitol Hill, SILVAR REALTORS® urged support for legislation to reinstate the Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act, which expired at the end of 2013; preservation of the mortgage interest deduction and the property tax deduction; and not to pass legislation that will weaken and ultimately eliminate Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and FHA.
SILVAR members also participated in a number of NAR meetings. David Barca, California Association of REALTORS® Federal Committee chair, briefed California NAR Directors on legislative issues. SILVAR Executive Officer Paul Cardus shared information on SILVAR's global program with other REALTOR® associations at the State and Local Forum on Global Business.
SILVAR REALTORS® show seniors they matter
May 9, 2014 in Silicon Valley Association of REALTORS® | Tags: Realtor Service Volunteer Program, Seniors | Leave a comment
SILVAR President David Tonna and Diane Chandler hand a senior homeowner a complimentary RSVP (REALTOR® Service Volunteer Program) bag, which includes batteries, face mask to protect them from harsh chemicals, and a vial of life, so they can have their complete medical information ready in their home for emergency personnel to reference during an emergency.
SILVAR members washed hundreds of windows, trimmed a multitude of bushes, replaced numerous smoke detectors and furnace filters and did other household tasks in over 120 senior homes this week as part of the association's annual REALTOR® Service Volunteer Program (RSVP).
Every year in May, SILVAR members visit the homes of seniors who are physically and financially challenged. Members help the elderly with simple household tasks, like replacing light bulbs, changing furnace filters, washing windows, turning over mattresses, changing smoke detector batteries and light yard work.
RSVP is a community outreach project launched by SILVAR in 2001 to assist seniors and the homebound in communities within the Association's five districts of Menlo Park/Atherton, Palo Alto, Los Altos/Mountain View, Cupertino/Sunnyvale and Los Gatos/Saratoga. The program has expanded on the Peninsula and in the South Bay, with volunteers from neighboring REALTOR® associations helping seniors in their respective communities.
While the SILVAR RSVP volunteers trimmed bushes and weeded her yard, a Los Altos senior homeowner laughingly described herself as being "94 years old and experienced," and still able to play poker. She expressed her gratitude for the assistance. With only a son living in San Diego, she has no help. She said she has been availing of the REALTOR® service program for the past two years.
"Oh, lordy, I think the program is just wonderful! It's very fantastic," she exclaimed.
In Mountain View, an 80-year-old senior resident who lives alone and has no children, said she has requested help from SILVAR REALTORS® for the past five years.
"It's wonderful that they give up their time to help us. I used to do everything, but it's the high things I can't reach," she said, as RSVP volunteers Jamie Carmichael dusted her home and cleaned her bathroom mirrors, and Stanley Ku trimmed her bushes.
One Saratoga senior homeowner who is riddled with arthritis said she was a volunteer in the community for many years. "Now I am getting it back," she smiled.
Silicon Valley REALTORS® talk to their legislators in Sacramento
May 2, 2014 in Real Estate | Leave a comment
Members of the Silicon Valley Association of REALTORS®, the trade organization representing over 4,000 REALTORS® and affiliate members engaged in the real estate business on the Peninsula and in the South Bay, joined 2,100 California REALTORS® in Sacramento on Wednesday for Legislative Day, where they discuss critical issues that impact home ownership and private property rights with Silicon Valley's legislators.
At the morning briefing, California Association of REALTORS® (C.A.R.) President Kevin Brown and the C.A.R. leadership welcomed California REALTORS® and thanked them to making the trip to Sacramento. He said, Legislative Day is an opportunity for REALTORS® "to demonstrate the size and power of organized real estate and represent our clients who are not here."
California Governor Jerry Brown, a special guest at the morning briefing, also thanked REALTORS® for coming to Sacramento. He said it's been a good year, the budget is balanced and stabilized, but the state still faces issues. Brown said diversity, which is one of California's great assets, is also its biggest challenge and complicates issues.
"We are working out issues that the whole world has to deal with, but with enough openness, with enough skill, and enough harmony our state is going in the right direction … Wherever we look, California is leading the way," said Gov. Brown.
"You're in the right business," Gov. Brown told REALTORS®. "You sell the California dream and it's very much alive. Let's keep it that way. So far, so good. Keep coming back every year."

N & P are non-metals.
As & Sb metalloids & Bi is a metal .This is due to decrease in ionization enthalpy & increase in atomic size.
Electronegativity decreases down the group.
Common oxidation states : -3, +3 & +5.
Due to inert pair effect, the stability of +5 state decreases down the group and stability of +3 state increases.
due to its small size, high electronegativity, high ionization enthalpy and absence of d-orbitals. N2 has unique ability to form pπ-pπ multiple bonds where as the heavier members of this group do not form pπ-pπ bond because their atomic orbitals are so large & diffuse that they cannot have effective overlapping. Nitrogen exists as diatomic molecule with triple bond between the two atoms where as other elements form single bonds in elemental state. N cannot form dπpπ bond due to the non-availability of d-orbitals where as other elements can.

Welcome to our Worship Page
"Worship has been misunderstood as something that arises from a feeling which "comes upon you," but it is vital that we understand that it is rooted in a conscious act of the will, to serve and obey the Lord Jesus Christ."
Graham Kendrick
"As John 4:23 says, It's time, as worshipers of God, to give him all we have. For when He is exalted, everything about me is decreased.
So many times we stand in the way of really stepping into the secret place of worship with God.
Just abandon tradition and the "expected" ways of Praise & Worship and get lost in the holy of holies
with the sole intention of blessing the Fathers heart."

Wytrysk opóźniony, wytrysk późny () – dysfunkcja seksualna polegająca na pojawieniu się ejakulacji (wytrysku nasienia) po bardzo długim czasie od rozpoczęcia spółkowania (definiowanym jako godzina i więcej).

W warunkach fizjologicznych opóźnienie wytrysku może się pojawiać po wyczerpaniu związanym z dużą liczbą stosunków lub przy działaniu bodźców hamujących wynikających z rozproszenia uwagi. Może się także wiązać z niewielką atrakcyjnością seksualną partnerki/partnera oraz może być wyrazem dysproporcji w budowie narządów płciowych.

Zaburzenie występuje najczęściej z przyczyn psychogennych, nadużywania alkoholu lub stosowania niektórych leków (np. prozac), a także u osób w podeszłym wieku i cierpiących na zaburzenia neurologiczne lub problemy z krążeniem. Opóźnienie wytrysku spotyka się także jako następstwo głębszych urazów i sytuacji konfliktowych oraz w wypadkach istnienia skłonności dewiacyjnych.

Przy różnicowaniu pochodzenia zaburzenia – na tle czynnościowym lub organicznym – może mieć znaczenie jego tempo pojawiania się, stopniowe w chorobach organicznych lub nagłe w zaburzeniach czynnościowych.

Q: Has Google Datastore Cloud queries LIKE keyword? I´m Looking for search values into my Datastore but I need information filtered by value. I know Datastore is no relational DB, but how could I get the goal?
I´m trying this:
$ds = new DatastoreClient(['keyFilePath' => 'foo.json');
$q = $ds->gqlQuery('SELECT * FROM EMPLOYEES WHERE NAME LIKE "%$'.val.'%"');
$res = $ds->runQuery($q);

The LIKE keyword is not supported, What I can use instead?

A: As Sammitch suggested, you can perform Datastore queries following the instructions described here or in this Stack Overflow post. The syntax is different, but the regular expression idea is the same.

DACA Rescission Damages Dreams for Dreamers
Tasneem Baqiron September 19, 2017 /1 comment
Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) is a program that was started during the Obama administration. The executive order gave illegal immigrants, that had entered the United States before they turned 16, a deportation reprieve. President Trump has ordered an "orderly wind down" of this program and has given Congress six months to make a legislative decision about DACA. If Congress is to go through with it and order an end of the program, this decision could affect the lives of 800,000 people that gave away their personal information to the government thinking they would be allowed to stay. These are the people that did not have an option and came with their parents; they should not have to regret the decision that their parents made for them. They have built lives for themselves in the United States, and this decision could affect not just illegal immigrants but the American economy, as well.
Currently, DACA applicants have been put on a six-month hold to give Congress the time needed to make a decision about DACA. Now the 800,000 "dreamers" (a term used to refer to undocumented immigrants affected by DACA) will have to live with uncertainty about whether they can stay in the U.S. or will be deported. President Trump has not asked for their immediate deportation but that they can stay for the two years that were granted to them by DACA, but that does not make the situation any better. In the end, they will all be deported, and this will negatively affect the American economy.
According to the Center for American Progress, ending DACA would result in the loss of an estimated 685,000 workers over the next 10 years. This would create hardships for employers who would have to find their replacements. It could also reduce the U.S. gross domestic product by about $460 billion over a decade. In addition, businesses would lose out on the customer market that the dreamers contribute to making. Governments would lose all tax revenue that the dreamers pay. Armed forces would lose out on soldiers that have been putting their lives on the line to fight for this country, where they may now not even have a future.
Colleges and universities would also lose tuition and fees from these students who are working hard to make it through college so they can get jobs and stay in this country. University of California (UC) President Janet Napolitano said that her university would be negatively affected by the end of DACA as they would lose the academic and cultural benefits that the dreamers contribute. Napolitano was an architect of the DACA program in 2012 as U.S. Homeland Security secretary and is now suing President Trump for what she considers to be an illegal action.
The dreamers are a high-achieving lot of people who have earned their right to stay in the United States. More than 90 percent of them who are above the age of 25 are employed and are creating a business at twice the rate of the public as a whole. They have families, friends, and a life built for themselves here, and they should not have to live in fear of whether they get to stay in the U.S. or be deported and have to build their lives again from scratch. In the end, we must remember that the U.S. is a nation that is built by immigrants and it will rise but higher if a productive immigrant is accepted into our society.

Key Question: Is Bundling Proper?
In both cases, bundling is either a restraint of trade or simply a wasted motion. You don't paint a house green only to paint it red if you have any sense. The right way to do IT is to make your choice and buy/acquire what you need to accomplish your goals in the most efficient manner possible. Bundling exclusively That Other OS with all PCs was only good for an illegal monopolist and its "partners" in crime. This is not about denying businesses profits. It's about competition in the market and freedom for users/buyers to have choice.

Roundcube Next: The Next Steps
The crowdfunding campaign to provide funding and greater community engagement around the refactoring of Roundcube's core to give it a secure future has just wrapped up. We managed to raise $103,531 from 870 people. This obviously surpassed our goal of $80,000, so we're pretty ecstatic. This is not the end, however: now we begin the journey to delivering a first release of Roundcube Next. This blog entry outines some of that path forward

Therefore, I thought that a closer collaboration with Linux Veda could be mutually beneficial: Getting exclusive insights directly from a core KDE contributor could give their popularity an additional boost, while my articles could get an extended audience including people who are currently interested in Linux and FOSS, but not necessarily too much interested in KDE yet.

Fiber UI Experiments – Conclusion?
It's been one heckuva road, but I think the dust is starting to settle on the UI design for Fiber, a new web browser which I'm developing for KDE. After some back-and fourth from previous revisions, there are some exciting new ideas in this iteration! Please note that this post is about design experiments – the development status of the browser is still very low-level and won't reach the UI stage for some time. These experiments are being done now so I can better understand the structure of the browser as I program around a heavily extension-based UI, so when I do solidify the APIs it we have a rock-solid foundation.

Scientific Linux 7.1 review – More fiasco
Scientific Linux is supposed to be a serious, stable, useful operating system. So is CentOS. And they both try to be fully compatible with RedHat Enterprise, because after all, that is what they are all about. However, while the latter does manage to do this in a rather smooth, pleasant manner AND still be a great candidate for home use, Scientific Linux fails in its mission statement on oh-so-many levels, definitely not helped by using the Gnome nonsense. Oh man how have the tables turned. Gnome 2 used to be my favorite desktop environment, and Gnome 3 is my most hated one.

Ground zero for an open-source revolution
For a relatively small company, Red Hat, inc. has become a major player in open source technology.
"It is definitely more than a Linux company," said theCUBE cohost Dave Vellante, summarizing day one of Red Hat Summit 2015. "This conference is ground zero for an open-source revolution."
Red Hat Summit kicks off with PaaS focus
Miniman and Vellante also discussed Open Container platform. "I would want to have something that will work across multiple environments," said Miniman. "CoreOS and Docker are two of the main players, and they have similar missions."

Open organizations don't need to serve Kool-Aid
Prior to becoming self-employed, I'd worked at Linux New Media for several years. Back then, Linux New Media was a German-owned tech publishing company, with locations in several countries, and a small portfolio of print publications and digital products in a handful of languages. At Linux New Media, I worked with editors and writers around the world, and most closely with a small team I helped build up in our newest location, an office in Lawrence, Kansas. Most members of our Kansas team were colleagues—and friends—I'd had since starting my career in the late '90s, when I worked as an editor on Sys Admin magazine. Although we didn't call Linux New Media an "open organization" back then, it certainly was. Working at that company prepared me for the culture at Red Hat.

Paul Cormier, president of Product and Technologies for Red Hat, Inc., told theCUBE during Red Hat Summit 2015 that everything the company creates goes back to the open-source community. A newly acquired company may present the one exception.
Bootstrapping a DevOps Movement in Red Hat IT – Video
Back in late 2013 I joined what was jokingly referred to as the Red Hat IT "DevOps" team. We didn't like that name, so we changed it and there-after became officially known as Team Inception. From the time the team was formed, we all accepted that the team was to retire in 18-24 months. We were totally cool with that too! To us having a pure "DevOps" team in perpetuity just didn't make sense.

Fedora 23: Python 3 Default Approved; Netizen Spin Rejected
All self-contained changes were approved this week except for the io.js change and the proposed Netizen spin. The Fedora Netizen spin was to be about: "Fedora Netizen is an open source operating system for enabling internet citizens to engage with online services and communities…The philosophy for Netizen closely relates to Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs by establishing three primary software package levels in a hierarchical model. The first and lowest software package level addresses the need for Netizen Privacy in the areas of personal privacy, informational privacy, and communication privacy. After Netizen Privacy, the second software package level addresses the need for Netizen Security in the areas of data security, local security, and network security. After Netizen Security, the third software package level addresses the need for Netizen Engagement in the areas of publishing, education, and social engagement. Future Netizen software package levels will address analytics, awareness, design, develop, and others."
What You Need to Know About Fedora's Switch From Yum to DNF
Yeah, it's too simplistic for real-world use, but you get the idea. And, in the end, that's all end users need to know—replace the word 'yum' with 'dnf' and you're good to go.
Has the Fedora team gone in the right direction with the migration from Yum to DNF? If not, how should they have approached this transition?

DUCK challenge at DebConf15
Upgrades to Jessie, Ruby 2.2 transition, and chef update
Last month I started to track all the small Debian-related things that I do. My initial motivation was to be concious about how often I spend short periods of time working on Debian. Sometimes it's during lunch breaks, weekends, first thing in the morning before regular work, after I am done for the day with regular work, or even during regular work, since I do have the chance of doing Debian work as part of my regular work occasionally.
Now that I have this information, I need to do something with it. So this is probably the first of monthly updates I will post about my Debian work. Hopefully it won't be the last.
BQ Aquaris E5: An Ubuntu Edition Phone that severely disappoints
I can't begin to tell you how saddened I am that I've had to write this. I wanted the Ubuntu Phone to completely blow me away and pull me from the Android platform with ease and grace. Instead, it solidified my opinion that jumping into the ring with Android and Apple is a fight that most aren't really ready to take up.
Please, Canonical, go back to the drawing board and return with a UI that makes sense… or simply return all of your focus on what you do best and leave the mobile platform to Google and Apple.

Android Version History: A Timeline of New Features
It took only five years from the release of the first device running Android for the platform to become the most popular mobile operating system on the planet. That rapid adoption rate has been matched by the pace of development on the operating system itself, transforming Google's OS from an awkward, if interesting, fledgling effort into the refined and feature-packed offering we see today. As Google looks forward to "the next billion users," let's take a look back at Android's evolution.

Exclusive interview with Hans de Raad
In my daily life (both personal and professional) I use open source for just about anything, from LibreOffice to Drupal, Kolab, Piwik, Apache, KDE, etc.
Being part of the communities of these projects for me is a very special extra dimension that creates a lot of extra motivation and satisfaction.
For me, open source isn't so much of a choice it is simply the standard.
7 stories that make you feel good about open source in 2015 (so far)
One of the great things about open source is its reach beyond just the software we use. Open source isn't just about taking principled stands, it's about making things better for the world around us. It helps spread new ideas by letting anyone with an interest modify and replicate those ideas in their own communities.
In this collection, let's take a look back at some of the best articles we've shared this year about the ways that open source is making an impact on communities and improving the lives of people across the world.
Project Ascension: Reddit-born open source game launcher unveils user interface for 'better gaming'
Forget about having multiple game launcher clients slowing down your computer – a community born on Reddit wants to unify all the popular game launchers into one multi-platform launcher.

5 Best Enterprise Apps and Extensions for Google Chrome
We have already covered a lot of enterprise applications on our site before. However, one would never expect apps in this genre to exist on a browser like Google Chrome. But, nothing could be further from the real truth. Google's effort to outsmart even the biggest players in the enterprise market are gradually paying off. Slowly spreading its wings into the business world, Google is venturing into arenas where Microsoft once reigned supreme. While the competition doesn't concern us much, but what has happened, in effect, is that the rivalry is bringing out the best in both companies.

Q&A: Why Congress is Jumping on the Open Source Bandwagon
Members of the House, committees and staff have officially received the green light to obtain open source software for their offices, and to discuss software code and policy with developers, citizens and other legislators in communities such as GitHub, according to the Congressional Data Coalition advocacy group.
The White House joined open source code repository site GitHub in 2012. But it wasn't until this May a sitting congressman, Rep. Gerry Connolly, D-Va., first joined the site. Connolly used it to make edits to guidance on implementation of the Federal IT Acquisition Reform Act.
From the Editors: When did open-source software get so scary?
When did the use of open-source software become such a worrisome thought? Big names such as VMware, Oracle, Microsoft and Cisco, to name but a few, have been caught infringing on open-source software licenses.
Grateful Dead Open Source Business Model One of the Most Successful
The Dead was one of the first and most successful open source business models. They never felt their albums captured their true sound and musical depth. This could only come through their live performances. And yet, because they were very experimental and bold risk takers, any particular show could fall flat or even spontaneously combust. Thus, it was important to see many shows because magic would inevitably transpire and they wanted all of their fans to know what that was like and have a hunger for more once it had been experienced. A true natural high for anyone that has experienced it. As it's been said, there is nothing like a Grateful Dead show.

Oil giant BP reaches sweetheart settlement over 2010 Gulf disaster
Energy giant BP has agreed to settle outstanding state and federal claims against it relating to the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil disaster for $18.7 billion. The fines, to be paid over 18 years, are a small fraction of the damages caused by the largest offshore oil spill in US history and minor in relation to the immense profits of the transnational oil company.
Images from immediate aftermath of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill
Five years ago, the Deepwater Horizon disaster spewed out some 134 million gallons of oil, soiling 1,000 miles of Gulf of Mexico coastline. On Thursday, BP agreed to pay an $18.7 billion settlement that will help repair the damage from the televised spill that began April 20 and ended July 15, 2010.
Thousands evacuated after train carrying toxic chemicals derails in Tennessee
The train derailment occurred Wednesday at 11:50 p.m. ET, and caused toxic substances aboard the train to catch fire. As of Thursday morning, the fire was still burning.
Bernie Sanders and the Rebirth of Socialism in the US?
Yes, it may be unlikely that Sanders will win the nomination. In national polls for the primaries Hillary Clinton, the favorite, did not poll less than 50 percent since April. Bernie Sanders has not polled over 25 percent since June 2014. But recent polls seem to suggest growing support for Sanders, particularly in the Iowa caucus and the New Hampshire primary. Regardless of the results, however, Sanders' bid for the candidacy has led to a discussion around socialism.
Beware Greeks Bearing Rifts
The Euro project will continue to be extremely strong. New money will be funnelled into the pockets of bankers. It is important to recall that 100% of these bailout funds go to bankers, none of it goes to the Greek people and none of it stays in Greece. The same bankers will become the beneficiaries of servicing of new loans provided to vast corporations to buy up Greek public assets, cheap.
Europe is heading towards constitutional crisis, with or without Greece
As Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras stands off against the so-called Troika, questions abound about the future of his country.
But there should also be pressing questions about the future of the European Union. The shaky legal foundations of the EU have been laid bare by this crisis.

NPR Ombud Responds on 'All-Corporate Lobbyist' Alert – Report not as one-sided as FAIR claimed, Jensen said–but opposition voice would have strengthened it
NPR ombud Elizabeth Jensen wrote a column (7/1/15) responding to a FAIR Action Alert, "NPR Celebrates Fast-Track Victory With an All-Corporate Lobbyist Segment" (6/27/15).
Jensen acknowledges that the report in question (Morning Edition, 6/25/15), which featured three executives from business lobbies talking about Congress's passage of corporate-backed Fast-Track legislation, "would have been stronger and more complete if it had included a voice representing the opponents."
National Plutocrat Radio – Corporate One-Percenters dominate NPR affiliates' boards
For a public radio service, NPR is notoriously known for its lack of diversity within its staff, audience and guests invited onto their shows—problems that NPR has itself acknowledged (6/30/14).
A new FAIR study finds that NPR's diversity problem also extends into the board of trustees of its most popular member stations: Two out of three board members are male, and nearly three out of four are non-Latino whites. Fully three out of every four trustees of the top NPR affiliates belong to the corporate elite.
James Loewen on Racism and US History
He's the author of the classic book, Lies My Teacher Told Me, which assesses the textbooks used in US classrooms, turning up falsehoods, elisions and distortions. He explains some of the reasons students say they hate history–and non-white students hate it most of all.
Reddit moderators in revolt, Reddit on lockdown
Reddit has been in the news a lot in recent months, and not for any positive reasons. Now the site is again making headlines as its moderators go on a strike and put Reddit in a virtual state of lockdown.
Reddit rebellion: huge chunks of the site have gone down following a staff member's departure
Reddit is in revolt. This week, Victoria Taylor, director of talent and coordinator of the site's popular "Ask me Anything" (r/IAmA) subreddit, left reddit, apparently against her will. In response, a group of the site's coordinators have pulled the shades on some of the site's most popular sections.
BEL MOONEY: Why does my alma mater have one rule for hate preachers and another for scientists who make daft jokes?
People may wonder why this issue has attracted so much attention. After all, a speech made by an eminent scientist — a Nobel Prize-winner, no less — to a small group of journalists in South Korea in a previous age would have received no attention at all.
But after the 72-year-old Prof's weak jokes about how 'girls' are a distraction in laboratories — which made some listeners titter and others roll their eyes — just three people tweeted shock-horror, and the storm began.
Sir Tim quickly found his career and reputation, built up over 50 years, all but ruined. Although he apologised for his error, he was still unceremoniously hounded out of honorary positions at UCL, the Royal Society and the European Research Council.
That response was, in my view, hasty and disgraceful —and out of all proportion to his alleged 'crime'.
David Cameron Promises To Do Away With 'Safe Spaces' On The Internet
Earlier this year, there were some questions raised when it appeared that UK Prime Minister David Cameron was suggesting that he wanted to undermine all encryption on the internet. Later, some suggested he was looking more at undermining end point security. However, after being re-elected, and apparently believing that this gave him the mandate to go full Orwell, Cameron is making it clear that no one should ever have any privacy from government snoops ever.
GCHQ did spy on Amnesty International, secret tribunal admits
The Investigatory Powers Tribunal (IPT), which provides oversight for UK intelligence services, admitted yesterday that its judgement made on 22 June wrongly failed to declare that Amnesty International had been subject to unlawful surveillance by GCHQ. The IPT revealed this in an e-mail sent to the ten NGO claimants involved in the earlier legal challenge to UK government surveillance. As Amnesty International explained: "Today's communication makes clear that it was actually Amnesty International Ltd, and not the Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights (EIPR) that was spied on in addition to the Legal Resources Centre in South Africa."
GCHQ did illegally spy on Amnesty International, Investigatory Powers Tribunal admits
The IPT said in its original judgement that communications by the Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights and the South African non-profit Legal Resources Centre had been illegally retained and examined.
However, the tribunal made it clear in the email sent on Wednesday that it was Amnesty International and not the Egyptian organisation that had been spied on, as well as the Legal Resources Centre in South Africa.
The IPT email made no mention of when or why Amnesty International was spied on, or what was done with the information obtained. The organisation is calling for an independent inquiry into how and why a UK intelligence agency has been spying on human rights organisations.
Harvard University admits to IT systems data breach
THE PRESTIGIOUS HARVARD UNIVERSITY has revealed that it was the victim of a security breach in June affecting eight schools and administrative organisations at the university.
The intrusion in the IT systems of Harvard's Faculty of Arts and Sciences and Central Administration was discovered on 19 June, and is thought to have exposed various log-in credentials, including for Office 365, which were stored on the compromised networks.
"At this time, we have no indication that research data or personal data managed by Harvard systems (e.g. Social Security numbers) have been exposed," said the university IT team in an advisory on its website.
A Look at the Inner Workings of NSA's XKEYSCORE
The sheer quantity of communications that XKEYSCORE processes, filters and queries is stunning. Around the world, when a person gets online to do anything — write an email, post to a social network, browse the web or play a video game — there's a decent chance that the Internet traffic her device sends and receives is getting collected and processed by one of XKEYSCORE's hundreds of servers scattered across the globe.
XKEYSCORE: NSA's Google for the World's Private Communications
One of the National Security Agency's most powerful tools of mass surveillance makes tracking someone's Internet usage as easy as entering an email address, and provides no built-in technology to prevent abuse. Today, The Intercept is publishing 48 top-secret and other classified documents about XKEYSCORE dated up to 2013, which shed new light on the breadth, depth and functionality of this critical spy system — one of the largest releases yet of documents provided by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden.
Privacy Is Personal
Linux would not be here without the Net. Nor would countless other building materials and methods that support networked life and the institutions that rely on networks, which now include approximately everything.
All these things need to be as casual and easily understood as clothing and shelter are in the physical world today. They can't work only for wizards. Privacy is for muggles too. Without agancy and scale for muggles, the Net will remain the Land of Giants, who regard us all as serfs by default.
Amnesty International Responds to U.K. Government Surveillance
A British tribunal admitted on Wednesday that the U.K. government had spied on Amnesty International and illegally retained some of its communications. Sherif Elsayed-Ali, deputy director of global issues for Amnesty International in London, responds:
Just after 4 p.m. yesterday, Amnesty International received an email from the Investigatory Powers Tribunal (IPT), which hears cases related to U.K. intelligence agencies. The message was brief: There had been a mistake in the tribunal's judgment 10 days earlier in a case brought by 10 human rights organizations against the U.K.'s mass surveillance programs. Contrary to the finding in the original ruling, our communications at Amnesty International had, in fact, been under illegal surveillance by GCHQ, the U.K.'s signals intelligence agency.
No Craig Newmark Did Not Donate To EFF; He Helped Make CFAA Worse Instead
There's been a bunch of fuss online over the "news" that Craigslist is supposedly donating $1 million to EFF when the money is not actually from Craig. It's from a startup that Craigslist has sued out of business, under a dangerous interpretation of the CFAA that harms the open internet. Obviously, EFF getting an additional $1 million in resources is really great. But it's troubling to see so many people congratulate Craigslist and Craig Newmark for "supporting EFF." Craig himself has contributed to this misleading perception with this tweet implying he's giving his own money to EFF…
And yet Craigslist sued these companies under a tortured definition of the CFAA, arguing that the mere scraping of its data to provide value on top of it (none of which took away any value from Craigslist) was "unauthorized access."
IPv4 address stock dwindles as North American database runs dry
The number of available IPv4 address spaces has fallen so low that the US organisation responsible for handing out addresses has rejected a request because there was not enough stock.
The American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) posted a note on its website confirming the move, although it did not say from where the request had come.
"ARIN activated the IPv4 Unmet Requests policy this week with the approval of an address request that was larger than the available inventory in the regional IPv4 free pool," said ARIN chief executive John Curran.

iOS 8.4 kills Home Sharing for music and people aren't happy about it
APPLE QUIETLY KILLED OFF Home Sharing for music in iOS 8.4, and has pissed off its customers in the process.
Home Sharing for music launched in 2011 as part of iOS 4.3, and allowed iPhone, iPad and iPod users to stream music from a computer running iTunes, as long as the devices were connected to the same WiFi network.
Kim Dotcom Appeals to Reclaim 'Mega Millions' from U.S.
In an effort to reclaim an estimated $67 million in assets, Megaupload's legal team has appealed the forfeiture the U.S. Government won earlier this year. The filing refutes the claim that Kim Dotcom and his former colleagues are fugitives, and warns of the dangerous precedent the District Court ruling will set.
The battle to reform 300-year-old copyright law for the digital age
The Internet is built on copying. That's true at a purely technical level: as packets of data move around the world, they are copied from network to network, and finally to the end-user's device. But it's also true in terms of how people use the Internet: they are constantly sending copies across the network, whether partial snippets or entire works. That's a big problem, because once a creation is in a fixed form, it is automatically subject to copyright, an intellectual monopoly that gives creators the power to prevent copies being made of their work. Quite simply, this situation ensures that almost everyone using the Internet is also breaking the law multiple times every day.


Talk about a fresh voice. Writer and Director Bo Burnham is all of 27. The star is 15. And she has all the genuine awkwardness of a true eighth grader.
Kayla (Elsie Fisher) spends every moment she can on her phone. Preferably, while wearing earplugs. If she's at home, in her room, she's got her laptop open, as well. Always plugged in. But despite the dominance of social media in her life, she's actually socially awkward. She doesn't seem to have any real friends, either male or female. She lives with her Dad, Mark (Josh Hamilton), who's awkward and dorky in his own way, but also seems to be strangely without context. We don't know anything about his work, or if he has any friends, or even dates. He mentions once that Mom "left," but we don't know if that means she died, or simply vacated the premises. Either way, her absence is never really discussed. As if she's not even missed. That, too, seems unrealistic.
But all that serves to emphasize the complete self-centeredness of Kayla. She lives in her own little world. She makes videos and posts them, usually about dealing with awkward social situations, which is ironic, but she has few "followers" anyway. But we can't help but like Kayla, because we've all felt the insecurities she has, and have had to deal with the imperfections, as she has. She gets pimples. Her teeth are crooked. She's a bit overweight, which is really evident when she makes an appearance at a neighbor's pool party, where all the other kids her age seem to have sleek, perfect, bodies, and are blissfully unaware of their own idyllic images. Kayla does, however, finally meet a boy in the pool, who's just noticeably nerdy, wearing a snorkel mask and asking her to look at his handstand, when he can't even keep his legs straight. We like Gabe (Jake Ryan) because he tries so hard to connect with her, which is so refreshing to her because seemingly everyone else is making no effort at all.
Of course Kayla doesn't recognize right away that Gabe is well-suited for her, and she winds up getting in the car with a high school boy, and her internal alarms don't go off as they should when he invites her to play "Truth or Dare" in the back seat. Thankfully, her virtue remains intact, but not necessarily her self-esteem.
We like Kayla because she's so fallible in her inconsistencies. She burns a box of memories she'd made for herself three years earlier, but then makes another box for her to open when she graduates from high school. She fusses at her Dad---a lot---for his attempts to draw her into a conversation, but at a critical moment she just impulsively hugs him, which surprises him more than us.
Kayla is self-effacing but never effusive. She's withdrawn, but will occasionally say dumb things to people to try to draw herself out of her own shell. We celebrate little moments of grace, like when the high school student she was assigned to "shadow" one day turns out to be a really caring, sweet individual who manages to help allay Kayla's natural nervousness about going to high school herself. And maybe there we will have a sequel, where the awkward honesty might again uncomfortably fascinate us with its raw emotional teenage truth.

Guest Post: Steven C. Harms – THE COUNSEL OF THE CUNNING
The Counsel of the Cunning
by Steven C. Harms
November 8 – December 3, 2021 Virtual Book Tour
Good day, book people. For those of you in the US, Happy Thanksgiving! One of the many things I'm grateful for are the amazing characters developed by authors. Where would a good story be without good characters (and an amazing talent for crafting readable and believable storylines)? Like many of you, I have beloved characters from classic literature as well as contemporary fiction. However, I never really gave any thought to an author having a favorite character in anything they craft. I'm incredibly pleased that Steven C. Harms, author of The Counsel of the Cunning is willing to stop by and discuss just that, his favorite character in his writings. Sit back, grab your favorite beverage, and let's learn which character Mr. Harms likes best. I hope you'll stick around to follow the blog tour and learn more about this book and author. Thank you, Mr. Harms for joining us today. I'll now be turning the blog over to you.
My Favorite Character in the Viceroy series
When I created detective Roger Viceroy, one of my major influences was Jack Reacher from Lee Child's amazing series. I fashioned Viceroy's character somewhat in that mold, but I wanted and needed him to be different. I landed on the back story and the environment in which Viceroy operates the differentiator.
Whereas Jack Reacher embodies a free-wheeling vigilante, random happenstance plot involvements, and a homeless vagabond to a degree, Viceroy by comparison was placed into a structured environment as head of a special detective unit. But the differences didn't end there. The most obvious one you'll find as you read the series, is the support team. While Reacher was a loner who primarily worked solo, Viceroy has a team of two behind him as they work the crime investigations as a three-part team. I believed a series where the reader not only falls for the protagonist (in my case Roger Viceroy), but also bonds with two other support members was appealing.
I came up with two characters – Regina Cortez and Trevor "Silk" Moreland. I drew Regina's physical appearance and demeanor from a former assistant I had in a previous job. She was someone I had the utmost respect for as she brought professionalism to work every day during our eight years together. It was that loyalty and dedication that resonated with me and ended up being Regina's style as well.
But it's the second character that I want to focus on – Silk, a former high school athletic star who went onto a decade's work as a top-flight detective for the Milwaukee PD. Silk is part of Viceroy's detective unit by the time the first book, Give Place to Wrath, opens. He grew up on Milwaukee's streets, standing 6'5″ with a wit and a well-timed irreverent attitude that seem to work well. Silk is, by far, the character that gets the most response from readers. They love him and want to see more of him in future books.
As I developed the character, it was Silk's irreverential trait that opened a door, allowing me to write his dialogue with some humor and flare, and his interactions and reactions with a much wider berth, while also providing me the freedom to use him for plot moments that worked better than Viceroy or Regina.
Silk seems to resonate with readers in a way that I wasn't expecting. I think it's his dry, yet pinpoint humor he invokes at just the right moments combined with his dedication to being "a monster for details," as Viceroy describes him. He's completely sold out to being a detective and is passionate about finding clues or angles that others may have missed. Silk knows that being a detective is his life's calling and the chapters he's in just seem to have a more energetic bounce to them.
I'm confident Viceroy and Regina provide plenty of likability as well, but Silk stealthily beats them to being the reader's favorite of the three. Who am I to argue? ♦
Roger Viceroy faces a return to the FBI and a life he vacated long ago, until a knock on his front door announces the presence of billionaire and former U.S. Senator, Jürgen Sandt.
The past has come back to rear its ugly head. Sandt stands on his threshold for a reason: a decade prior the senator's only son disappeared into the jungles of Guatemala, and Sandt has come to convince Viceroy that further investigation is now necessary. A package left mysteriously outside the family estate, opens the door to the possibility that his son is still very much alive.
Viceroy and his team agree to take on the hunt. Their search steers them from the back streets of Milwaukee to the stealthy corridors of Washington, D.C.—an eerie trek that will ultimately lead to an ancient site that supposedly doesn't exist.
As Viceroy closes in on the truth, a parallel plot emerges. Not only could it point to the reason behind the cryptic disappearance of Bertram Sandt, but it could also launch a deadly battle that will put millions of lives at stake. On pure instinct, Viceroy knows nothing is adding up. Somehow, somewhere they missed a clue, and if it's not discovered soon…it may be too late.

Summary: The FMCSA proposes disqualification regulations for drivers subject to the Commercial Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1986 (CMVSA). Sections 201(b) and 202(h) of the Motor Carrier Safety Improvement Act of 1999 (MCSIA) amended the CMVSA by adding disqualification requirements for a commercial driver's license (CDL) holder convicted of committing violations while operating a noncommercial motor vehicle (non-CMV). Each State would be required to disqualify the CDL upon conviction by revoking, suspending, or canceling it. Each employer would be required to stop using a driver from driving a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) upon the State's disqualification. The purpose of this proposal is to enhance the safety of CMV operations on our nation's highways.
