In 1991 the first step was to allow commercial logos to be displayed on players jerseys, Guinness became hurling championship sponsors in 1995 and accelerated the process, Croke Park was opened up to use for Rugby and Soccer internationals. Then there was the change of rule 21, an attempt at de-politicisation. This continued to its ridiculous climax with a campaign to have the Kevin Lynch club in Derry renamed in an attempt to expunge any hint or cultural memory of an anti imperialist tradition among the membership and no doubt to make the whole project more amenable to corporate sensibilities.
Sky have had their avaricious eyes on the GAA since 2005 and various overtures were made but the GAA leadership were nervous about proceeding with any deal. This time, despite the fact that TV3 had entered a "very commercial" and comparable offer Sky got their foot in the door, mainly because the notion has long since caught hold among the Irish ruling elite that it is a very good idea indeed to sell something back to the people who already own it.
Liam O'Neill in his statement said that the reason for making the deal with Sky was to make GAA games "More widely avail-able to Irish people abroad…" in the process Liam 'forgot' to mention that this makes the games less available to Irish people in Ireland. Only 20% of Irish households have Sky at present. Its absence in the other 80% will especially effect the youth, the elderly, the working class and small farmers who, by the time they have paid off the bankers debts – which they did not incur, paid for their water – which they already own, paid a household charge on the house – which they have already paid for and taken a substantial pay cut, worked extra hours for less money or even worse, been sacked, will not perhaps have enough left to pay for a Sky package.
Liam, rather appropriately, seated beside that other great sell-out, Eamon Gilmore, also 'forgot' to mention that many people who walk the streets on a regular basis selling tickets, who volunteer at matches and events and carry out endless unpaid duties to raise revenue, will not only be excluded from access to key televised games but the revenue from the sale of those games to viewers will be transferred indirectly from their own fundraising activities into the pockets of Sky shareholders.
The class divide is laid bare within the GAA, where doctors and lawyers could rub shoulders with labourers and carpenters in parochial solidarity, especially in rural Ireland. But now we see that not all members or supporters are equal after all. Liam's drivel about obligations to the Diaspora, and competing for "audience loyalty" in the face of stiff opposition from the "hugely powerful sporting and marketing resources of international sports" is a cynical lie made obvious by the fact that not only can most emigrants see the games anyway but also one of the largest destinations for emigrants, Australia, will be screening the games free of charge. It is a feeble justification for a move towards an outright commercialisation of the largest volunteer based organisation in the country. Not for the first time, a natural resource, something unique to Ireland, is being given to a global corporation in exchange for a modest bag of silver which the elite are free to distribute as they see fit. This time it is not Whiddy Island, oil exploration or gas but the cultural accumulation of generations, a product of the nineteenth century Gaelic Revival is at last saleable on the global market.
This is just another little act of betrayal by the Gombeen ruling class, but it is highly symbolic. In the same week as McGuinness and Higgins went bowing and scraping to the royal arch-imperialists with their caps in their hands loudly protesting that this dysfunctional partitioned colony is at the table as an equal, the last symbolic semblances of cultural independence are being sold off to the most avaricious of world tycoons, Rupert Murdoch.
The leaders of bourgeois Ireland have repeatedly exposed their role as facilitators for every need of transnational capital in return for very little, corporation tax being an example. The partitionist carnival of reaction deepens at every turn as the leadership North and South prove them-selves complicit in the assault by imperialism on the working people of Ireland. The duty to resist falls to the Irish working class, who bear the brunt of imperialist control – the police state in the North and the Gombeen state in the South – and the crumbling false façade of independence must be replaced with a real resistance to imperialism.
Resistance must begin with a repudiation of these craven dirty deals, whether they consist of the sale of GAA volunteers viewing rights to Sky, effectively taking money from those volunteers pockets, or the give-away of Irish natural resources, or the promise made by Ireland's ruling class that Irish workers would pledge their own and their children's labour to pay the debts of the corrupt capitalist banking system. We must; repudiate the bankers' debts, the control of the Troika and the sectarian partition of the country. While rank and file control in the GAA can stymie Rupert Murdoch's ambitions, rank and file control across all our trade unions is required to address the attack on the working class and to begin to focus the strength of the many workers that want to fight back on the task of facing up to the soulless system that controls us.
Much of the news from the North of Ireland focuses on unionist revolt against the political settlement and the need to placate them, yet recent demands from nationalists that the process actually deliver represent a far greater threat to Sinn Fein. An example of this process was seen on April 12th when Irish language groups mobilized in Belfast in the La Dhearg 5000 strong protest for civil rights for the Irish language.
Sinn Fein followed its usual practice of attempting to put themselves at the head of protests that had arisen as a result of their political deals, turning out with many leading figures, but without any mobilization of their rank and file. It all went terribly wrong. The organizers insisted that Sinn Fein assemble behind the march and refused them speaking rights at the rally. Even worse, a number of demonstrators carried placards accusing Sinn Fein minister, Caral Ni Chuilin, of "culling" leading language organizations that were losing the majority of their funding. In the aftermath of the demonstration Sinn Fein were reduced to smearing the demonstration and claiming that it was being defamed.
It was a weak case. It is a matter of fact that Caral Ni Chuilin agreed the changes that have led to the present funding crisis. It is also a matter of fact that an Irish Language Act, which would have given no more than what was available to native speakers in Scotland and Wales, was part of the Good Friday Agreement and was dropped by Sinn Fein in the face of unionist opposition.
There was another cause for concern. The marchers, nationalist supporters of the Peace Process, tend to assume that they have the right to demonstrate, yet they were subject to sectarian abuse while a complacent police force claimed that no laws were being broken. Any wider protest movement would face sectarian hatred and state conciliation of loyalism.
15 years into the peace process there are growing civil rights complaints. Around the language, around housing rights in North Belfast and around a corporate construction process in West Belfast involving the GAA and Sinn Fein. The Sinn Fein are bending every sinew to make themselves fit for coalition in the 26 counties. As they rush forward the right wing coalition they leave in the six counties is gradually disintegrating.

CFP: When Species Invade: Towards a Political Invasion Ecology (at DOPE Conference).
When Species Invade: Towards a Political Invasion Ecology.
Dimensions of Political Ecology (DOPE) Conference | University of Kentucky | Lexington, KY | 26-28 February 2015
Organizers: Matthew Rosenblum (University of Kentucky), Laura Ogden (Dartmouth College)
Scholars from a range of fields loosely organized under the banner of 'political ecology' have become increasingly attentive to the lives of non-human beings. Political ecologists in geography have situated their research in sites as diverse as the laboratory and the slaughterhouse, spaces where non-human life is made and unmade, to the end of showing the relevance of non-human bodies in socio-spatial processes. The turn toward affect, experimentation, and liveliness in the ecological humanities and social sciences has produced fruitful accounts of the intimacies involved in 'when species meet' but has left much about the being 'out of place,' the radically contingent, irredeemably destructive, or invasive species, yet to be said. What has been said in the social sciences, and indeed even in the natural sciences, is often preoccupied with the existing vocabularies of invasiveness and the ways in which the rhetoric of invasion ecology is linked to rhetoric's of colonialism, nationalism (Olwig 2003, Groning & Wolschke-Bulmahn 2003), xenophobia (Subramaniam 2001), etc., with attention to how these emotive and value-laden discourses implicate the practice of conservation biology Of course the link between the discourses of the natural sciences and modes of human marginalization is important since such taxonomic strategies have facilitated "beastly behavior toward the animalized and the naturalized" (Coates 2006; 135). But beyond these anthropocentric arguments which problematize invasion ecology largely because of its effect on human communities are the violently excluded bodies of the invasive and the feral. In many ways the popular discussions of invasiveness have abounded to the detriment of exploring questions of how metaphor and discourse motivate agents to act upon the world (Bono 2003), to what end these actions endeavor towards, and whether or not those actions are commensurate with a worthwhile ethical framework. After all, "the search for a precise lexicon of terms and concepts in invasion ecology is not driven by concerns for just semantics" (Pyšek et al. 2004; 131), it is about action, and surely a process of categorization that is meant to decide which beings belong and which do not has real, felt, material, consequences. While the discursive focus takes furry, leafy, and other invasive bodies as its object, these beings are, ironically absent. Discussions about what nomenclature is best suited to categorize certain forms of nonhuman life have virtually ignored the fact that the practice of invasion ecology implicates humans as well as nonhumans in an economy of violence directed at the attainment of a certain ecological ideal (Robbins & Moore 2013) through the use of "quarantine, eradication, and control" (Elton [1958] 2000; 110). In this light, even many of the most critically aware scholars has failed to ask questions about the value of invasive lives and whether killing them is in line with a truly political ecology, one that views "ecological systems as power-laden rather than politically inert" (Robbins 2012; 13)- one that includes non-human lives as subjects of politics rather than mere objects of human fascination.
The aim of this session is to move beyond the discourse of invasiveness to explore alternative ways of both politicizing the science and practice of invasion ecology and bringing invasive entities, both alive and dead back into the discussions that implicate them. Topics might include, but should not be limited to:
-Queer critiques of ecological futurism
-Emotional geographies of ecological loss
-The 'invasavore' movement
-Non-constructivist approaches to invasiveness
-The biopolitics of invasive species management
-New directions in the discussion of the rhetoric of invasiveness
-The conflict between environmental ethics and animal ethics
-Invasiveness and landscape studies
-Animal Diaspora and non-human mobility
-Political ecologies of bordering
-Hunting power
-Invasiveness and the politics of the Anthropocene
-'Novel ecologies' and engagements with scientific concepts such as equilibrium, resilience, etc.
Anyone interested in participating in the session should send an abstract of 500 words or less to matthew.rosenblum@uky.edu by November 10th, 2014. Participants must also register at the conference website: politicalecology.org by the registration deadline of November 17th 2014.

Platform: Arcade
Developer(s): Universal Interactive
Cosmic Alien
Cosmic Alien is an arcade game that is a clone of Galaxian. Players control a gun at the bottom of the screen that shoots at aliens (which are known as "chiefs", "guards", "commanders", or "soldiers") that are in a formation overhead. Aliens begin peeling off the formation and fly towards the bottom of the screen while dropping bombs. There are two flagship-type aliens (chiefs) at the top of the screen that can fly accompanied with one or more escort (guard) aliens; shooting one or more of the guards before shooting a chief will increase the amount of the chief's score. If a player does not shoot an alien (or if it doesn't ram the player's gun) during its attack run it will return to the formation. There are a few differences with Galaxian, as sometimes aliens will return to the formation without dropping below the bottom of the screen (and then reappearing at the top). They also can shoot off a wide horizontal string of bombs, rather than individual shots like on Galaxian. If the last alien on a level (known as "screens") is left alone long enough, it will turn into a big winged creature. Also, aliens start changing form: by the third screen, they start resembling winged demons once they leave the formation, plus the player's gun is bumped up a notch, giving them less time to react to the aliens' attacks. Players start off with three guns, which can be lost by being hit by an alien or bomb and the game will end if there are no more guns in reserve. An extra gun is awarded at 5,000 points.

Corticotropin-releasing factor inhibits gastric emptying in dogs: studies on its mechanism of action.
The effects of corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) on gastric emptying of a saline solution was further investigated in six dogs prepared with gastric fistulas and chronic cerebroventricular guides and in four other dogs with chronic gastric fistulas and pancreatic (Herrera) cannulas. Intravenous infusion of CRF significantly inhibited gastric emptying whereas intracerebroventricular injection of CRF had no effect. Pharmacologic blockade of beta-adrenergic system by propranolol did not modify intravenous CRF induced delay in gastric emptying. Intravenous CRF did not influence basal pancreatic secretion whereas secretin infused stimulated bicarbonate secretion. These results indicate that intravenous but not intracerebroventricular administration of CRF inhibited gastric emptying of a saline solution in dogs. The inhibitory effect of intravenous CRF on gastric emptying is not mediated by the beta-adrenergic nervous system, and not secondary to the release of other peptides that affect both pancreatic secretion and gastric emptying such as cholecystokinin and peptide YY.


Tablets, SmartPhones, Netbooks, Notebooks, Desktops-- I'll take one of each.
I have been curious about the number of notebooks, netbooks, tablets and desktops consumers are purchasing especially with the new school year upon us.
Why? I own a netbook, macbook and several desktops [including a Mac]-- and feel I cannot live without these types of computers. That said, I am a software consultant, so my need for desktops and notebooks with various built-in or peripheral drives-- is not surprising.
I have analyzed a family member's tablet [Christmas gift in 2010], and though not an iPad, have found it cannot replace the uses I have for my netbook, and certainly not my other computers. The tablet, also does not support Java or Flash. Surprisingly, neither does iPad as of February of this year [the latest report I found on the topic for the iPad platform].
Though the tablet reader can access email accounts and surf the web-- its best uses are for those applications that it came with. It is too cumbersome, in my opinion to really use as a way to surf the net.
So herein lies my issues with tablets and why I am researching these trends. I am wondering who is using what. Most tablets do not support client side Java which includes the Java applet technology I utilize quite a bit on WiredPages.
Here is a comparative chart of computer types purchased [shipped] between 2005 and 2010 by onlinemarketing-trends.com.
Tablets are replacing netbooks? I can hook anything up to a usb port on my netbook and also surf the web with relative ease via my netbook. I can also run Java and Flash applications with my netbook and have Microsoft Office Professional installed on my netbook. How are tablets replacing netbooks? How are businesses using tablets? How are students using tablets?
Do not get me wrong. I would love to have a tablet, specially an iPad. Am I going to worry about developing software tools, websites or running my business from an iPad? No. Why am I not more concerned with mobile computing? I think desktops, notebooks and even netbooks are really not going anywhere-- and though a lot of my software tools would make excellent stand alone tools for mobile devices [i.e., smartphones and tablets]- I love developing for the web page-- and think my services will remain in demand even with the ever increasing popularity of tablets and smartphones.
I am pretty excited about HTML5 video support. I have been researching and testing video examples using HTML5 video with different browsers and platforms and though most are not supported [yet]-- this new feature still looks promising.
You can test for yourself on the W3schools Tutorial site.
I have one of the best broadband services around-- Verizon FiOS. I have no plans to return to a dial-up internet service-- however last winter with the many power outages, I wished on more than one occasion that I had access to a dial-up service. The dedicated fax landline remained available throughout most of the power outages, while the mainline only remained available as long as the Verizon backup power supply lasted-- which was about 8 hours or so.
When I tested the Apple USB Fax-Modem that I have owned since getting my Macbook several years ago, I found it would not work with my Netbook. So recently, I ordered a generic USB Fax-Modem to use with the netbook in case of emergencies and it arrived today.
I had no problems installing the USB Fax-Modem software on an old Windows SE platform- [yes, it already has a Fax-Modem half card on the motherboard-- however, I wanted to test on that old system first]. The following shows the 3" CDROM with the software drivers for the old Windows 98se platform [and others] that came with the modem.
I was able to use Windows Update with the Netbook instead of the CDROM and that too, worked. I was able to fax and dial landlines with no problems.
Here is the netbook connected to the internet via NetZero using the new modem.
NetZero offers some pretty reasonable plans if you are looking for a similar solution in case of an emergency. Keep in mind-- you will need a landline that either has an independent power supply or does not require power.
Why not use the Macbook for emergencies-- since I already had the modem? Reluctant to install new software on my main software development platform. It is also where I maintain other work and ideas. I cannot work without my Macbook- though I backup the files regularly. The software installed to do my work-- is invaluable to me. These days, I rarely install any new software on that system. Not even a more recent version of the operating system that I own.
New York Times Crossword API from xwordinfo.com. Warning: The following shows the answers to the current day's puzzle.
Another one of those Freelancer.com gig research finds. Is this fair use? At this time-- this is all I am doing with this api.
Recently, while watching projects on Freelancer.com I found two great software applications that also provide source code.
When it comes to features, scalability, robustness and flexibility, jBilling places itself first in its class. It is the only open source billing system listed in the catalog of the largest consulting companies.
With over one million active users, the JW Player™ is the Internet's most popular open source video player. It supports playback of any format the Adobe Flash Player can handle (FLV, MP4, MP3, AAC, JPG, PNG and GIF) and now supports HTML5 too.
Both applications offer source code so for developers-- these are really great finds. I am considering installing JBilling on Hosting-Q to provide a more robust billing system for web hosting clients.
Currently, Hosting-Q does not have web hosting clients-- [sometime ago-- I determined it was not a good idea to host qisoftware.com with Hosting-Q-- hoping to keep others more honest where my interests are concerned], but I am hoping that many will realize the benefits of server side Java support-- even if they themselves are not Java developers.
Java class files are not open source, therefore harder to tamper with by those with access to your server. Ecommerce site owners should really start to look at non-opensource solutions wherever possible for their sites. That said, JSP which is Java server side script that is converted to servlet class files at "runtime"-- is less tamper proof than Java class files [servlets/beans].
Why would I, as a Java developer-- in this case provide the benefits of my research?  Supposedly, I have a rather small audience base,  as a Java developer I can help with custom installations of these products-- which is the reason I found them in the first place and  these are Java based tools and I like promoting this software environment. Server side Java is used by a lot of large sites and companies. It is more efficient than server script languages. Java hosting is a bit more-- but worth the faster execution and non-opensource benefits.
Like most, I am not a graphic artist, however I have learned some tricks over the years that enabled me-- to manipulate vector graphics to use in printed material-- and today, in sites.
Keep in mind, I developed software that manipulated and rendered vector [meta] graphics so I had a good understanding of the difference between bitmap and vector graphics. I am not going to bore you with those details here-- however do want to offer some tricks I use to create my own graphics.
When I was still with Rockwell, I purchased my first Corel Gallery Clipart CD along with the corresponding manual. Some of the manuals and specifications I delivered to the US Navy [along with software code and programs]-- included clipart images from that CD.
To manipulate graphics you need a gallery of clipart-- like Corel's, ensuring that the data can be copied or exported to other programs as meta or vector data.
Here are two clipart images I copied and pasted to Microsoft Power Point for further manipulation.
In Power Point- I changed the color of the moon disc in the black cat's background from white to a two color gradient. I also used the same gradient tool to change the pumpkin from gray to the color you see in the image below. The outline around the cat's tail and paws was also lost when I copied to ImageComposer so I changed the outline point size so that it could be seen when copied. Adding the drop shadow also emphasized these lines.
Here is the final image [png file] I exported from Microsoft's ImageComposer.
I added the annotation "Happy Halloween" and the drop shadow to give everything a 3D look. If you have the time to play with things like this -- it can be lots of fun.
The Thingamablog blogging platform-- in my opinion offers interesting challenges. WordPress spoils, because of the number of plugins available-- however hacks or plugins for Thingamablog are not as readily available.
You can check the code for this "hack" by reviewing source on the main page of this blog or contact me for more details.
See the "« Previous Post" link on the lower main page of this blog [just under the other posts] to see how it works.
My first programming language was Basic. When I began using C in the late eighties-- I believe, I found the most important language that I would need. I have used others since learning C-- however, I consider C to be the most important.
The internet has made it so easy to gather usage statistics for almost anything. One of my favorite tools is Google Trends. That said- ambiguity often makes it difficult to get a good read-- especially when trying to gather stats for today's programming languages, i.e., Java, Ruby on Rails.
So when I happened on tiobe.com which maintains popularity stats for programming languages-- I was quite pleased and thought I would share-- see this page.
Freelancer.com project listings another good resource for statistics on software development languages and usage.
I have found the right solution for my needs-- insofar as a new business blog platform.
To recap-- Blogger decided to discontinue FTP support and I did not want to use the "domain switching" service they offer-- which "pretends" a blog is being hosted on a private domain, when it is really hosted on blogger servers.
So, the problem? I have two applications that use MySQL databases and PHP and both heavy resource consumers on my server. I reference Q's Wire and the News, Software and Java forums.
The original QiSoftware Business Blog- consisted of static html files sitting on qisoftware.com. These were the files ftp'd to my domain each time I published a new blog post. Static html files are less resource intensive than MySQL and php [WordPress].
I also have a problem with unauthorized changes to my publications. Sitting on my domain- a lot of folks are going to be in trouble for changing my published words. Technically as related to legalities, Blogger can say-- your words belong to me-- if I publish to their servers.
So what was I left with? I needed a service that would allow me to publish to my site, static html files. I queried Google [cannot remember the exact search term now], and Thingamablog was one of the first results.
No database and you publish from a private offline source? I was sold. It was a good pick for my needs.
The only negative many will have-- [but not me]? No comments. I do not mind. I am in love with this software and this solution.
I do not want to provide too many details as to how to setup the service. I think this is a good candidate for -- yes, it can be done-- and you should figure out how. Why? This software sits on your private computer and you will need to understand the inner workings.
That said, it is not hard to setup. Really. I created a new blog template-- so that is why I spent a lot of time with it yesterday. It comes with about 10 templates that are pretty good-- and I have found one or two developers that offer free ones. I will be more than happy to setup a custom design for you-- however I am not free-- consulting@qisoftware.com.
Yes, Thingamablog is a winner.
The original QiSoftware Business Blog [started June 2004], used the Blogger platform. I used FTP to port blog posts to my private domain-- qisoftware.com. As of May 1, 2010, Blogger will discontinue support of FTP for their service. I decided to "retire" that blog.
I had not decided what I was going to do about a new blogging platform until last night. I went in search of a blog I could maintain on a local computer which did not require a database, i.e., MySQL. I found Thingamablog, so I thought I would give it a try.
I installed the software on both my MacBook and Acer Netbook. I am currently setting up the MacBook version and will provide full details once I complete my review.


If more than 80 percent of businesses claim digital is integral to their organisation's operations and performance, why is it that 65 percent also see implementing it as their number one strategic challenge?
Somewhere between the discussions in the boardroom and the developers' desks, the momentum is being lost, and the action isn't being taken to make it a reality. So, what's getting in the way?
The surprising reality is that often, it's not a technology problem. It's people.

U.S. Resident Indefinitely Detained Without Charge Secures His Day In Court
In a win for constitutional rights, a judge has ordered that Adham Hassoun at minimum be given a fair hearing, which is scheduled for April 28.
Jonathan Hafetz,
Senior Staff Attorney,
ACLU Center for Democracy
Adham Hassoun will finally have his day in court. A federal judge has rejected the government's sweeping claim that it can, on its own say-so, indefinitely imprison him without charge and without a fair trial.
Adham is a long-time U.S. resident and a father of three. As we previously explained, Adham completed his criminal sentence and was set to be released from prison almost three years ago. But the government — claiming unprecedented and unconstitutional powers — is seeking to keep him locked up indefinitely, perhaps for the rest of his life, based on executive fiat.
Adham is challenging his unconstitutional detention in court. We're representing Adham together with the New York Civil Liberties Union, the Clinical Legal Education Program of the University at Buffalo School of Law, and the Mandel Legal Aid Clinic University of Chicago Law School.
In December, the district court rejected one of the government's two justifications for detaining Adham. The government argued that, under a rarely-used administrative regulation, it could unilaterally declare Adham a danger to national security and deny him the basic rudiments of due process. The government claimed Adham had no chance to contest the accusations against him before a judge, and said he instead had to prove his innocence to the very people trying to keep him imprisoned. In its ruling, the court rightfully recognized that depriving a person of liberty through such a flimsy and one-sided process raises serious constitutional problems, and declared the regulation "a legal nullity."
The court also rejected the government's second argument — that it could detain Adham under a never-before used provision of the USA Patriot Act without first affording him a judicial hearing. Normally, even when individuals are ordered removed under immigration laws, the government can't continue detaining them unless it will actually be able to remove them in the foreseeable future. A judge has already ruled that Adham's removal isn't foreseeable because there is no country he can be sent to, but instead of releasing him — as our Constitution and values require — the government has opted to keep him locked up based on an assertion that he's dangerous. According to the government, the Patriot Act allows the executive branch to keep a supposedly "dangerous" person behind bars forever, no matter how flimsy the evidence against him, with no significant review by a judge.
As we argued to the court, the government cannot use the Patriot Act to circumvent Adham's constitutional rights. If the government has reason to detain Adham, it must charge him with a crime or at least present its evidence before a court and give Adham an opportunity to mount a defense — as the Constitution demands.
In a win for constitutional rights, the judge has ordered that Adham at minimum be given a fair hearing, which is scheduled for April 28. There, the government will be required to prove to the court that Adham's detention is justified. It will also need to convince the judge that the flimsy evidence it allegedly has against Adham meets the rigorous clear and convincing evidence standard, which properly places a significant onus on the government to strip a person of his or her liberty. The judge already expressed skepticism of any evidence relying on anonymous hearsay — that is, information a witness does not have personal knowledge of, including things they heard second- and third-hand from others.
Additionally, the court rejected the government's plea to hold the hearing at the federal detention center in Batavia, New York, where Adham is imprisoned and where public access could be restricted. Instead, the court said the hearing will be at a federal courthouse in Buffalo, New York, noting that "[o]ne of the strongest pillars of our system of justice in the United States is the presumption that all judicial proceedings are open to the public whom the judiciary serves."
Adham is getting his long-awaited day in court. We'll be there to hold the government to its burden, and to defend his — and our — right to liberty.

4 Ways to Recruit & Attract Tech Developers
The first step to hiring technical talent is understanding what's important to them in a new job, and the Stack Overflow Developer Hiring Landscape Report provides a comprehensive look at what developers want and how they work in order to help companies attract the best talent. The report's data comes from the 2018 Stack Overflow Global Developer Survey, an extensive survey of the programmer workforce, with over 100,000 responses from coders in 183 countries.
From this, we've found that hiring developers is becoming increasingly important in today's business landscape, but there's no denying it's a difficult process. The demand for top tech talent is high and developers are notoriously passive when it comes to actually looking for new job opportunities. But here are 4 ways you might just get that developer you've always wanted.
1. Show them the money
What do developers look at when considering new jobs? It differs. Compensation was top of the list for men, but globally, women, gender non-binary and transgender developers rated the office environment and company culture as more important to them than salary when considering a new job. This is especially worth noting for companies looking to boost their demographic diversity.
What do they want to know about in terms of prospective jobs? Top of the list is salary and compensation, followed by details of which technologies they'd be working with, and opportunities for professional development coming in third.
Over 94% of professional developers in the UK are employed at least part-time, making the developer employment rate much higher than those of other professions. Only 11% of developers in the UK are actively looking for a job, with 56% not actively looking, putting additional pressure on employers competing to hire tech talent.
But it's not all bad news for recruiters. UK developers change jobs quite frequently with 33% of them having changed their jobs less than one year ago, while 21% changed jobs between 1 and 2 years ago.
What we've also found, is that it's important to plan hires ahead as a third of developers think it takes new recruits at least one month to become fully productive, 45% think 1-3 months and 17% 3-6 months.
3. Give them a clear growth path
Coding is a young person profession with 30% of developers have only been working professionally for under two years, and 27% working between 3 to 5 years. What we've found is that they are hungry for change and progression as 34% of them see themselves working in a different or more specialized role in five years' time. While actually, 26% want to start up their own company in the future.
4. Embrace AI
Developers are mostly optimistic about the future possibilities offered by AI with almost 3/4 of respondents saying that they are more excited than worried about it. Automation of jobs is the least significant danger of artificial intelligence according to developers, with over 80% saying that is not their biggest worry. The concerns that developers have depended on the kind of coding work they do. Data scientists are 1.5 times more likely to consider issues around algorithmic fairness dangerous.
Developers are just like every other specialist role, and finding ways to recruit and attract them will require the same basic principles as recruiting any other type of role. But Developers are a wanted commodity and a scarce resource, so recruiting them will be no easy task.

The secret to writing a book is to find a good metaphor. Laurel Schmidt has done that in Gardening in the Minefield: A Survival Guide for School Administrators. This is a practical guide from an experienced administrator. School principals and assistant principals, particularly new appointees, at all levels will find this to be a valuable handbook. The book is organized into three major sections � �The Minefield,� �The Toolshed,� and �The Arsenal.� �The Minefield� contains four foundational chapters on politics, vision, shedding the parenting role, and recognizing �the enemy within� (the voices in your head, the negative self-talk, that can sap your ability to lead effectively). The chapter on politics outlines all of the special interest groups and individuals that seek the school administrator�s attention. On the specific topic of school-site governance groups, Schmidt discusses the issues of diversity, trust, conflict, prioritization, and collaborative coaching. Her humorous writing style, prevalent throughout the book, comes across when she quips, �In some cases, it would be easier to start your own... (preview truncated at 150 words.)

FRPM closed out April with a vacancy rate of just over 5%. That's the highest all year. Last month I listed the reasons tenants were giving notice. This month, the top two reasons were 180 degrees opposite from one another. The #1 reason was that the tenant bought a home and #2 was that the tenant either lost a job or hours or pay were cut.
The stars are lined up just right for first-time homebuyers. Extremely low interest rates, huge tax credits, little to no money down, and fantastic buys are all making it very attractive to buy a home right now. Idaho Housing has a program where they loan the buyers the tax credit money, which is due next year plus interest when the buyer's do their taxes.
Nearly everyday, we have a tenant calling stating they lost their job, their hours were cut, or have some other financial reason causing them to move. April was our highest month for tenants skipping or bailing out without notice. We have three who actually care about their credit and informed us after they had moved that they had left to take a job elsewhere and will continue to pay rent until the unit is re-rented.
We are also getting a lot of proactive calls from tenants prior to renewal requesting rent discounts and other incentives and citing the news as the source of the information.
Interesting enough, we are also seeing a tremendous trend in tenants surrendering the property cleaner and damage free. We can only assume that a full deposit refund is now more important.
With the government doing what they can, from keeping the economy out of a depression or minimizing its duration, I can only imagine that once we get through all of this that we will see some pretty good inflation. If that is the case, I am going to predict that our rental market will improve greatly and rents will increase. Prior 9/11 and before the rates really started dropping and the government put pressure on the lenders to make home ownership easier, FRPM preleased a majority of our inventory; meaning we found tenants before the old tenants moved out. I'm looking forward to those days again.
I've been mentioning advertising quite a bit. Maybe something you're not interested in, but certainly something that I am studying and trying to improve. We've developed a new advertising tracking device which so far is clearly telling us where our signed leases are coming from. Data collection can be misleading. Perhaps one advertising campaign creates tons of leads, but if those leads aren't converting to leases, then is it really worth the time and money? In the past 3 weeks, one lease signing was contributed to classified advertising in the local paper and this advertising is the most expensive. With just a little bit more data, I think we'll be ready to reduce our advertising in the paper. The question then is, do we simply cut that cost out, which cuts the owner's advertising cost down, or do we replace it with something like radio or maybe even TV spots? Not sure.
For the safety of our leasing agents, we don't show properties when it's dark out. Now that it's staying light out, we've added a swing shift so that we can show properties after hours. We did this last spring and through the summer and we had great results.
As I travel around the nation and either teach or be taught, I always visit other companies' offices. Since most states require a real estate license to be a property manager, their property management business is run much like a real estate office. The company charges a low management fee to cover overhead and profit. They then hire agents who do not receive salaries, but receive commissions. These commissions are "leasing fees" and "renewal fees," which are both paid by the owner and go to the agent. A leasing fee is generally equal to one month's rent. A Renewal fee is generally equal to half of a full month's rent. Sounds expensive, huh? Well not really. I can't recall the date, but it was around the 1950's that real estate agents started offering co-operating commissions. Prior to that, the listing agent also found the buyer. Today, most of all listings are sold by an agent other than the listing agent. A far better approach. Imagine this same kind of system where you don't just have FRPM trying to rent your property out, but you have 100 others trying to do the same thing. I think rents would increase, days on market would decrease, and the owner's bottom line would increase. Do I have you convinced? Unfortunately, FRPM can't just take the initiative. It's something that the market as a whole would have to adopt. One of my goals is to get licensing required in Idaho. Once that comes about, then I think you could have such a program in place and an improvement in our market.
My comments on both the rental market and the sales market are always simply based on what I personally am seeing. In a whole, perhaps things are very different as I primarily support our FRPM clients so perhaps my experiences aren't quite the same as everyone else's.
Except for my buyers looking to buy apartments, in every other case most of the listings being identified are either a short-sale or a bank-owned property. My dealings with these have not been very pleasant and so far, not a single deal has closed. I'm still plugging away and still hope to get one closed as there are some really good buys.
Sounds like Fannie Mae who buys mortgages on the secondary market is looking at some new ways of slowing down the foreclosures, or at least keeping them off the sales market. Some of the ideas I've heard really sound good. The distressed sales are hurting value. Anything to slow the volume down, will surely help the lenders and the homeowners. I'll be updating this as I learn more.
In the rental market update I mentioned the great HUD loan programs. I read in an article that about 80% of all new loans are HUD guaranteed, which essentially means they are guaranteed by the taxpayers. As I have said before, I am certainly not an economist or financial wizard, but this does concern me just a tad bit. With the great buys, fixed low rates, etc., I really don't think we are going to have a problem. But with little to no down, values continuing to drop, and with the economy as it is, any lost jobs will undoubtedly cause a few homes to go under foreclosure again. I guess it really depends on the economy, so we'll just have to wait and see.
Prices are down and rates are amazing. In my mind, it's time to buy and buy as much as you can. In the last year I have bought or have been a partner in 4 investment properties. On the last one, our interest rate was 4.875%. With the prices down and the low rates, properties are cash flowing nicely. And, our return without factoring in any appreciation is far greater than the common CD. Yes, probably in all cases, these properties have lost value since the purchase, but the return is still there. We're in a cash positive position with good reserves. Additionally, as I mentioned in the rental market update, I am predicting inflation in the near future, which means rates will surely go up making cash flow much harder.
I completed all the necessary classes and took the test in April and am now a real-estate broker. I will continue to sale under Swope Investment Properties as an Association Broker. What does that mean? Not much. I've got a little more education and perhaps real estate production than others, but that's about it. If my broker, Mike Swope, were to get sick or have to leave the area for an extended time, I could cover him. Other than that, all is the same. My next real estate goal is to get my CCIM designation.

As a composer, I often have musical ideas that need to be captured immediately. So rather than crank up the entire studio, or even the portable laptop studio, the best and quickest way to make sure ideas don't dissipate into the ether is to use my Android cellphone. Because I save the bulk of money for pro equipment that I won't accidentally lose when I'm spending the remainder of my money in bars, I don't have an iPhone (nothing against Apple; I use a pair of Macs for professional music use).
But a combination of factors—mostly driven by the lack of funds remaining after purchasing recording equipment and alcohol—has kept me using a Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 GT-I8160L still running Android Gingerbread. The phone works, but its recording software leaves something to be desired.
Armed with a budget of zero, I visited the Google Play store and downloaded the top five free voice recording apps, and set up in front of my phone with an acoustic guitar and played the first verse and chorus of Imperial State Electric's "I'll Let You Down," hoping all five apps wouldn't let me down. They didn't.
One unique feature worth mentioning is the microphone adjustment feature, which allows users to calibrate their phone's mic. Mine was set to a gain factor of 1.1x. There's also a mic level tester equipped with a graphic horizontal bar, but it shows no dBs, so it's not all that helpful.
With the encoding set to "high quality (PCM)" as opposed to "balanced size/quality (AAC)" or the frightful "small files (AMR)" setting, I left the PCM at the second-highest sample rate of 44 kHz—which they call "CD quality," as opposed to the pointlessly large file size of the top-notch "film quality" of 48 kHz.
The nice retro cassette graphic interface leaves a space along the tape's label to type a file name and the rest of the settings are as simple as they come: a choice of either .amr (Adaptive Multi-rate) or .3gpp file types, and a box for enabling high quality audio files. Having once used another voice recorder that had only .amr files (which use low bit rates that are painfully reflected in their sound), I opted for the compact and cellphone-ready.3gpp file with the high quality kicked on.
Beneath the hood, you don't find too much to this app beyond a changeable skin (black, grey or the appealing wood default setting) and a seven-option switch that goes from "lowest" to "highest" quality without much indication of what those or any choices in between actually amount to. But throwing caution to the wind and seeing just how much I could still cram on to my 32GB memory card, I opted for the best.
With a running clock and a record button, this app is almost too simple in its design. It looks more like you're about to set a time bomb than sing a bass line idea. The app offers a timer (though I don't know what for) and absolutely nothing else worth mentioning.
Conclusion: If you've got space on your phone, Smartmob's Smart Voice Recorder is the way to go; if you don't, Lovekara's Super Voice Recorder is an acceptable understudy.

"Southern Charm" Launch Party at Neiman's | Events
"Southern Charm" Launch Party at Neiman's
Submitted by Tamara Franklin, Freelance Writer
Thursday, May 17th, 2012, 12:14pm
Topics: Events, People, Shopping & Services, Style
Atlanta's in-crowd gathered at the Neiman Marcus store inside Lenox Mall to celebrate the launch of Manhattan socialite, Tinsley Mortimer's debut novel "Southern Charm". The event was hosted by Emily Amy, the owner of Emily Amy Gallery and a founder of the Westside Arts District, along with luxury interior designer Courtney Giles. Guests enjoyed complimentary HPNOTIQ Harmonie signature cocktails and a few sweet treats.
The book follows Minty Davenport from her home in South Carolina to New York where she is the victim of vicious rumors, a marriage gone awry and naturally, the story is filled with fabulous fashions. "Southern Charm" gives readers access into the glamorous world of New York through the eyes of an outsider from the south.
While the book is fiction, it is inspired by Mortimer's own life. She, like her character grew up in the south (Virginia) and made her way to the glittery streets of NYC. Mortimer quickly shot to stardom, becoming the latest "it girl", fashion muse and subject of tabloid fodder. She has a line of handbags and clothing in Japan for Samantha Thavasa and she's a former reality show star (of the CW's "High Society").
After a messy divorce and a few missteps in the press, Mortimer is now looking to expand her brand, her new novel, "Southern Charm" is only the beginning.

Overwatch's Jeff Kaplan reveals potential hero pool rework
by Michael Gwilliam
Jeff Kaplan
Hero pools are entering their third week of Overwatch's competitive ranked mode and while Game Director Jeff Kaplan views them as a success, there could still be some major changes in the works.
As it stands, every week, four heroes are out of rotation and cannot be picked by anyone on either team. Thus far, each week has been different and no two heroes have been banned two weeks in a row.
The end result is causing players needing to think outside the box with how they approach forming their team compositions. That said, the pools could have a negative effect on players who choose to one-trick only one character – something Kaplan discussed in an interview with PCGamesN.
Hero pools can enable characters who are normally countered.
"We're in total wait and see mode on hero pools. So far the early feedback has been overwhelmingly positive for Overwatch League – the fans love it," the Vice President of Blizzard said.

"They're seeing all this hero diversity they've never seen before so that's been great. For players, they're experiencing it for the first time right now so I don't think any of us have lived with it long enough to know."
In the Overwatch League, the bans are different, with the top played heroes each week having the chance to be placed into the pool based on a draw. Additionally, unlike in ladder play, the league always has two DPS heroes out of rotation and never more than one tank or support.
Hero pools can radically change the gameplay experience.
Due to how the meta can stagnate, pools are designed to keep things fresh and prevent one super-powerful team composition from dominating week after week. But what about in ladder?

"So what we're really talking about would be the Mercy main who only plays competitive Overwatch and is not willing to do anything else for a week," he said. "It's easy to blow that off and go, 'you can't go play mystery heroes? Or can you just play Moira or Baptiste for a week?' It's easy to dismiss it but I think that the feedback is valid and real."
According to Jeff, the team is still going full-steam ahead with hero pools, but they're considering several changes that would completely change how they function.
With main tanks out of rotation, the game opens up.
"I'll give you an example of some tweaks and changes we've explored. We're not necessarily pulling the trigger on these, these are just like brainstorm ideas but if that Mercy main issue is real, and I think it is, maybe hero pools should be daily," he revealed.

Daily hero pools would keep the meta in an even stranger position with players having only 24 hours to figure out what the best team is. That said, Kaplan admitted that such a radical change would have its own set of challenges.
"That causes other problems, it really makes it hard for any meta to solidify but is that Mercy main okay, that for a couple hours at night, they can't play Mercy? Another idea is maybe hero pools only apply to a certain skill rating, like Masters and above, because the reality is, the meta only really, truly exists at around that level."
Hero pools could be a negative experience for one-tricks.
It would certainly be interesting if hero pools only started emerging in the higher ELOs of play, but as Jeff concluded, it's still too early to say for sure about what direction the team should go.

Only time will tell what exactly the future holds for Overwatch's newest core competitive element, but it's clear developers will be working on it for some time to come.

Why visit the Canigou mountain range? ?
A Top Occitania Site that's also approved as a Great French Site.
An icon of the Pyrenean landscape and Catalan culture..
UVibrant heritage: myths and legends, Roman art, Vauban fortifications, mining legacy, nature sites.
A natural haven for mountain sports and holidays.
You will see its outline from far away! It's a perfect mountain peaking at 2784m whose pyramid shape commands the world around it. The Canigou crowns the Vallespir and Conflent. It brings you incredible views from the Mediterranean coast to the Pyrénées-Orientales' peaks.
How to get there? Getting up to the summit involves real mountaineering and you need to be a hardened hiker. But the breadth of the site means you can go rambling, horse riding, donkey trekking, electric cycling and more.
3 GR trails and 750km of signposted footpaths, canyons and cavities, paragliding launch areas: the Canigou mountain range is a hotspot for outdoor activities with no fewer than 6 Catalan nature reserves nearby. Explore the mountain on the Canigou's network of routes and loops. Follow the scents of scrublands and forests through heaths, pastures and villages.
What to see around the Canigou mountain range Serrabone Priory surrounded by mountains with its pink marble stand that's worth the trip in itself. What's next? Saint-Michel de Cuxa Abbey and its cloister with surprisingly stylish capitals. It's a 45 min walk from Casteil to reach the eagle's nest of Saint-Martin du Canigou Abbey.
The Lombard belltower, vaulted crypt...what treasures and what a view! Go back down to the Sainte-Marie Priory in Corneilla-de-Conflent to gaze at its sculpted tympanum among others.
Visit Prades, the capital of Conflent, Arles-sur-Tech famous for the mysterious tomb in its abbey and Prats de Mollo, a royal town fortified by Vauban with the Gorges de la Carança and Orgues d'Ille-sur-Têt rock formation.
Wander around Villefranche-de-Conflent, one of the most beautiful villages in France. It was fortified by Vauban in the 17th century and is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The village is overlooked by the Libéria Fort and linked to it by an amazing subway with 1000 steps. If you do it then do it downhill!
You should also visit the Canalettes Caves, "underground Versailles". Take the Yellow Train up to Cerdagne's high plateaus. Stroll along the lanes in hilltop villages such as Evol, Arboussols, Palalda and Eus, one of the most beautiful villages in France.
Spa treatment or a bit of me-time: the rejuvenating waters are yours for the taking in Molitg-les-Bains, Vernet-les-bains and the outdoor hot springs in Saint-Thomas.
Dance the sardana to the sound of the coblas. Sing "Montanyas Regaladas", a hymn to the glory of Canigou. Take part in secular or sacred rites: Saint John's Eve (la Flamme du Canigó), castells (human towers), La Rodella procession. Try local specialities from boles de picolat (Catalan meatballs) to AOC Côtes du Roussillon wine.
And experience Catalan traditions! They're unique like the Fêtes de l'Ours in February or the amazing Canigou Championship in August.
Go shopping at the artisans in Eus and Villefranche-de-Conflent. Buy garnets at the Manufacture du Grenat in Prades and fabric from Toiles du Soleil in Saint-Laurent de Cerdans.
Marie-Laure and Carole went up the Canigou (Canigó in Catalan) for Saint John's Eve, a festival dear to Catalans. A real ode to nature and the sacred mountain! Video 3:27 © Blog-Trotteuses – Blog & Vidéos de voyage.
The Canigou mountain range is in south-west Occitania in the Pyrénées-Orientales department in the middle of the Toulouse-Montpellier-Barcelona triangle.
- By car: exit at Le Boulou on the A9.
- By plane: from Perpignan-Rivesaltes (50km), Toulouse-Blagnac (250km) or Montpellier-Méditerranée Airports (210km).
