Working People is excited to announce that, along with our ongoing partnership with In These Times magazine, we are now partnered with The Real News Network in Baltimore!
In this episode, we sit down with Justin Whittaker for the first part of an ongoing series of interviews where we'll be talking to workers on all sides of the marijuana industry — in states where that work is legal and in states where it's not. Justin is originally from the Midwest, but now he lives all the way up near Fairbanks, Alaska, where he works at an organic weed-growing operation. Alaska was the second state in the U.S. to decriminalize cannabis decades ago; in 2014, it became the third state to legalize recreational use. Justin has seen different sides of the industry, in different states, both before and after legalization. We talk about his life and work, and we talk about the ways legalization has changed things in the marijuana industry for buyers, business owners, and workers.
Maximillian Alvarez is a writer and editor based in Baltimore and the host of Working People, "a podcast by, for, and about the working class today." His work has been featured in venues like In These Times, The Nation, The Baffler, Current Affairs, and The New Republic.

This Crazy Pixar Theory Actually Makes Sense
Entertainment Editor, HuffPost
Pixar/Disney
Who's your friend who likes to play -- and makes you cry like a baby in front of everyone at the movies? It's Bing Bong! (Thanks a lot for that, bro.) But now, thanks to a major theory, it looks like you may have embarrassed yourself a little too soon.
Bing Bong was Riley Anderson's imaginary friend in "Inside Out" (spoiler alert!) who ends up sacrificing himself so Joy can make it back to Riley. Actress Kaitlyn Dias, who voices Riley, told The Huffington Post she didn't even know about her character's imaginary friend until she saw the movie for the first time, but now, she cries each time she watches it.
It's touching. It's sad. And it might be total hogwash.
The Theory: Bing Bong isn't dead. He's actually a monster from "Monsters, Inc." that Riley saw as a little girl and assumed was imaginary.
Image: BuzzFeed
"The Pixar Theory" is a pretty comprehensive timeline put together by writer and Pixar enthusiast Jon Negroni that discusses how all Pixar movies are connected. Evidence includes everything from a postcard signed by Carl and Ellie from "Up" that appears in "Toy Story 3" to Buy-n-Large, the corporation that has taken over in "WALL-E," being referred to in multiple films.
Anyway, the theory proposes that the monsters in "Monsters, Inc." rebuilt society years after humans destroyed it in "WALL-E." The doorways the monsters go through use time travel so they can travel back to when humans were around, and get their laughter to use as power.
Going by this theory, which you can also learn more about on Reddit and YouTube, it's plausible to believe that Bing Bong isn't imaginary. He's actually a real monster who made Riley laugh as a kid, much like Mike and Sully do with Boo in "Monsters, Inc." Then, as Riley got older, she remembered this interaction as her "imaginary friend," because what else could it be?
So, according to this theory, Bing Bong is alive and well, or rather will be alive and well eventually. His animal-like appearance fits in with how the monsters look in "Monsters, Inc.," and he's known for making Riley laugh, which is exactly what they do to get power.
It's a cool idea, but, still, there are some problems.
The case against:
Image: Giphy
The theory gets pretty complex, and, as shown by the idea of monsters using time travel, it makes some pretty big leaps. (Like, don't you need to be driving 88 miles per hour in a DeLorean for that to happen? Let's be realistic here, guys.)
In addition, Dias told HuffPost that she doesn't expect to see Bing Bong again in Pixar movies. "If they possibly do a sequel, I don't think he's going to make a comeback, unfortunately. But all of us who watch the movie can remember him for Riley," said the actress.
So, will we actually see Bing Bong again? It's possible. But if not, just take Riley to the moon for him, Joy.

A moment of peace: 10 million people gather worldwide to protest Bush's plans for war
Graeber, David (2003) A moment of peace: 10 million people gather worldwide to protest Bush's plans for war. In These Times (18 Feb 2003). Website.
On Saturday, February 15, anti-war rallies and marches spanned the globe. In what is being hailed as the largest single outpouring of grassroots opposition to war since Vietnam (and some say in history), diverse groups converged to flank the U.N. building in New York and crowd INS headquarters in Seattle, among other American cities. In Europe, crowds were the biggest in countries whose leaders support the American war effort—nearly 1 million protesters gathered in London, Barcelona and Madrid.

Ever since I saw that banner, the issues of cybersecurity and surveillance have weighed heavily on my mind. From alleged Russian involvement in the 2016 election to Donald Trump accusing Barack Obama of wiretapping the White House, worries about third-party surveillance of private information are ubiquitous in our modern political climate.

Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., commonly known as Lehman Brothers, was a financial services firm serving the globe. It was the fourth largest investment bank in the United States and offered various services such as investment banking, equity, fixed income sales and trading, private banking, investment management and market research. It was founded in 1850 by the Lehman brothers, Henry, Emmanuel and Mayer. The headquarters of Lehman Brothers was in New York City. The company declared bankruptcy in 2008 and made history as the largest bankruptcy filing in United States History.
When did Lehman Brothers collapse?
Lehman Brothers officially filed for bankruptcy at 1:45am on September 15, 2008. The company was unable to keep operating after the loss of most of its clientele, devastating losses in its stock value and the devaluation of its assets. Lehman Brothers was delisted from the New York Stock Exchange on September 17, 2008. After the shock announcement other financial companies agreed to take over and buy out different divisions of the company. Barclays took control of Lehman's North American investment banking and trading divisions and in the deal secured the Lehman Brothers New York headquarters building. On October 13, 2008 Nomura Holdings acquired Lehman Brothers Asia-Pacific franchises and the investment banking and equities businesses in Europe and the Middle East. On December 3, 2008, the investment management business was sold to two private firms Bain Capital Partners and Hellman & Friedman with creditors still holding stakes in the business.
The collapse of Lehman Brothers played a hand in the ensuing global financial crisis. After the company filed for bankruptcy the markets responded with the largest ever drop in the Dow. This greatly contributed to the financial unrest and a general mistrust in the global financial markets.

Rubashkin Support Grows As Government Fights On
Debbie Maimon
New evidence in court papers tracing the egregious misconduct of federal prosecutors who sent Sholom Mordechai Rubashkin to prison for 27 years is impacting public opinion about the case.
In a sign of shifting attitudes, the Des Moines Register ran a serious of articles and op-eds, as well as a scathing editorial by its editorial board, that harshly criticizes the government's conduct in the case.
The editorial coincided with the filing of the government's response to the defense's Merits Brief, in which prosecutor Peter Deegan denied all wrongdoing, saying that defense attorneys are "trying to rewrite history." The response brief urges Judge Reade to deny Sholom Mordechai's appeal for a new trial, re-sentencing or a hearing for more discovery.
In a striking reversal of its former stance, the Des Moines Register's editorial dismissed the government's protests of innocence as "hard to swallow," and cuts to the heart of the allegations against the prosecutors with unsparing questions.
"Did prosecutors ratchet up the losses sustained by Agriprocessors' creditors and later use those losses to increase Rubashkin's sentence?" the editorial board demanded. "Did they also adopt a policy of guilt-by-association in barring any member of the Rubashkin family — including people never accused of wrongdoing — from involvement in Agriprocessor's successor?"
"The evidence indicates they did just that, which helps to explain why so many well-respected former prosecutors and judges are up in arms over their actions."
"The U.S. Attorney's Office must be forced to answer for their actions in USA vs. Rubashkin," the Des Moines Register asserted.
Holding Prosecutors' Feet To The Fire
The government's 100-page response brief is marked by long-winded excursions into matters of little relevance to the case. It devotes the first 40 pages to laws governing forfeiture, which has nothing to do with defense claims of prosecutorial misconduct.
The defense's core argument is very straightforward: The government is charged with causing First Bank to lose tens of millions of dollars by interfering with the sale of Agriprocessors through its no-Rubashkin edict, and then pinning responsibility for the loss on Sholom Mordechai Rubashkin to lengthen his prison sentence.
The defendant asked the government at his sentencing to turn over all possible evidence that could support this defense, as the law requires. The government denied they had ever imposed "no-Rubashkins" and turned over nothing.
Now, 7 years later, Sholom Mordechai's attorneys found the evidence to prove his claim. The evidence proves the government misled him and misled Judge Reade, and withheld exculpatory evidence in order to ramp up his prison sentence.
In response to these charges, the prosecutors' focus on semantics, countering in effect, "We didn't mislead you or withhold evidence; you asked to see the 'agreements' we asked bidders to sign; we didn't make them sigh any agreements. You should have asked about 'disclosures.' You weren't explicit. Your fault, not ours."
[As part of the government's intimidation tactics, prospective buyers were informed that for years after buying the meat-packing plant they would have to make "disclosures" to the government about any connections they maintained with any member of the Rubashkin family in violation of the no-Rubashkin rule – and risk government forfeiture penalty if they did not do so. The government withheld this information from the defense.]
Rationalizing Perjury
Faced with evidence that their star witness lied under oath, the prosecutors rationalize her actions in their response brief. They quibble about the words the defense attorney used in questioning her, accusing him of asking "imprecise" questions.
The witness, Paula Roby, was asked about the date of an initial meeting between prosecutors and prospective bidder Eli Soglowek. She claimed she didn't remember.
The timeframe of the meeting was important because the defense claimed government harassment continually chased off potential buyers.
After having her memory jogged under cross-examination ("Did the meeting take place in January or in April?"), Roby remembered "it was before Soglowek entered his $40 million bid" (which took place on January 25, 2009).
Roby's testimony was false. In fact, Soglowek was forced to meet with prosecutors 12 days after he made his offer, on February 12. The prosecutors' strong-arm tactics at that meeting caused him to drop his offer, according to his sworn affidavit.
Excellent lawyering by the defense produced Roby's "fee petitions" which show the dates for which she had billed the government for her services. The evidence supports defense claims. Roby lied about the meeting, altering the timeframe to make it appear that the buyer was happy with the meeting's outcome and decided to move forward with his offer.
In the face of irrefutable evidence of this false testimony, the government response brief is reduced to countering that the witness did not actually lie; she was understandably "confused" by the defense's "imprecise" line of questioning.
"Basically, what the [defense] brief shows is the defense is holding the government's feet to the fire and it's very, very uncomfortable," commented a lawyer who studied the government response.
Pro-Rubashkin Letter
Setting the stage for the sharp reversal in the Des Moines Register's pro-government stance was a powerful letter to U.S. Attorney Kevin Techau, signed by 107 high level former DOJ officials, FBI directors, U.S. Attorneys, politicians and law professors.
The letter condemned the prosecutors' misconduct and abuse of power in the Rubashkin prosecution, as detailed in the explosive Merits Brief filed by Rubashkin attorneys Gary Apfel of Los Angeles and Stephen Locher of Des Moines, Iowa.
The eye-opening, hard-hitting letter by scores of legal heavyweights to U.S. Attorney Techau, while not holding him responsible for the misconduct as he was not in office at the time, exhorted him to "remedy the injustice" by granting Sholom a new trial or re-sentencing.
A follow-up article, "New Rubashkin Claims Garner Who's Who List of Supporters" profiled ten of the most prominent signatories on the pro-Rubashkin letter, including presidential and vice presidential candidates from both parties.
Among the most respected names are also four former U.S. Attorneys General, including Michael Mukasey, who served as attorney general of the United States at the time the federal immigrant raid on Agriprocessors took place.
This article, with its "Who's Who List" of Rubashkin supporters, was followed a few days later by another pro-Rubashkin salvo in the form of a personal letter to U.S. Attorney Techau from James Reynolds, a highly respected former U.S. Attorney in Iowa's Northern District.
Reynolds slammed the prosecutors for their "overzealous, insidious" actions against Sholom Mordechai Rubashkin, calling on U.S. Attorney Techau to rectify the miscarriage of justice, or be "as culpable" as the perpetrators.
"Had this kind of unfair, underhanded and unnecessary misconduct occurred during my tenure, you can be absolutely certain that the perpetrators would have faced consequences, the very least of which would have been the loss of their job," Reynolds declared.
Reynolds and another signatory to the open letter, former U.S. District Court Judge and Deputy Attorney General Charles Renfrew, took their protest to the next level by publishing an op-ed the following week in the Des Moines Register, "Prosecutors, Judges Decry Rubashkin Witch Hunt."
"The criminal prosecution of Sholom Rubashkin was so overzealous it bordered on a veritable witch hunt," the legal luminaries wrote. "There is new evidence of false testimony and willful manipulation that exacted the most possible punitive sentence for Rubashkin. That makes this a shocking case of prosecutorial misconduct."
The authors demonstrate their intimate grasp of the case in a few succinct paragraphs.
"Prosecutors deliberately thwarted the prospects [of selling Agriprocessors profitably] by constructing a "No-Rubashkin" rule, which was completely illegal," the editorial declared. "That policy was "highly effective in quashing Sholom Rubashkin's chances for a fair sentence.".
"The infamous No-Rubashkin rule caused a massive drop in the company's value which made it impossible to sell it profitably so that it could repay its $27 loan to First Bank," the authors wrote.
"Prosecutors kept turning away interested parties…manipulating the bids so that the lowest one, for $8.5 million, was the only one accepted, leaving an outstanding debt of $27 million, resulting in Rubashkin's cruel and unjust sentence."
Prosecutors Needed 'A Seat At The Table'
The op-ed cited the explosive evidence in the defense brief in the form of an attorney's handwritten transcript that the key purpose of a government meeting in 2008 was to formulate the no-Rubashkin rule.
Government witness Paula Roby, who had taken part in that meeting, was later called by the prosecution at the Rubashkin Sentencing Hearing to deny the meeting ever happened. She willingly complied. The prosecutor eliciting her denial was none other than one of the Assistant U.S. Attorneys who, at the meeting in question, had laid down the no-Rubashkin rule, court papers attest.
The prosecutors' words uttered at that meeting are by now notorious: "No Rubashkins are very important to us – non-negotiable," U.S. Attorney Richard Murphy said, according to notes taken by the trustee's lawyer, James Rieland.
Asked by Paula Roby, counsel for the bankruptcy trustee, whether there were "any other non-negotiables," Murphy reiterated, "No involvement of Rubashkins from any standpoint (control, benefit)."
"The problem is we don't have a seat at the table," the prosecutor complained, meaning the government lacked the authority it was seeking over the bankruptcy/auction process.
"We're going to set that up for you," Roby assured him, according to the Rieland transcript of the meeting.
"Unconstitutional, Discriminatory"
In their response to defense claims, prosecutors contend their statements "were not threats designed to diminish the value" of Agriprocessors, but were warnings intended to alert potential buyers of the risks they'd face by associating with criminals.
Criminals? Only one member – Sholom Mordechai – had been charged with an offense.
As the Reynolds and Renfrew op-ed states, "Agriprocessors' sole owner, Aaron Rubashkin, was never deemed culpable of any crime nor slapped with a single federal count. Yet, he [and his entire family] was effectively barred by Sholom's prosecutors from stepping in and taking over the company or having any role whatsoever. So the possibility of Agriprocessors resurrecting itself and making good on its loan to First Bank was doomed."
A lawyer familiar with the case pointed out that barring a family of law-abiding citizens from ownership or management of a company through a law such as "no-Rubashkins" is "unconstitutional."
"How can you exclude a family of law-abiding citizens from employment without any grounds?" he asked rhetorically. "How is that different from kicking a family out of a neighborhood based on their race or religion? It's discrimination."
"With potential buyers being thwarted and intimidated at every turn, and a false witness being brought into the court to flagrantly lie…, the legal wrongdoing evident in the Rubashkin case constitutes an extraordinary miscarriage of justice," Reynolds and Renfrew concluded in their op-ed. "These facts are sufficient to warrant speedy action."
"As former Department of Justice officials, we call on Mr. Techau and his office to take any and all action to immediately release Sholom Rubashkin."
Interview With Former U.S. District court judge Charles Renfrew
In an exclusive interview, Yated discussed the government's response with one of the co-authors of the Rubashkin Witch Hunt editorial, Charles Renfrew.
Mr. Renfrew, whose public service included prominent posts as U.S. District Court Judge in California and later as a U.S. Deputy Attorney General, said he reviewed the government's response brief and was struck by its failure to address key defense arguments.
"Specifically, they ignored evidence of the government's use of perjured testimony in the sentencing process. Underlying their arguments seems to be the attitude, 'Well, we don't like this guy, he did a lot of bad things so we can do whatever we want to him whether the facts support the charges or not,'" the former U.S. Deputy Attorney General said.
"That brings to mind a famous line by former Senator Patrick Moynihan… 'You are entitled to your own opinion but you're not entitled to your own facts.'"
"Facts count," Mr. Renfrew went on. "The facts are that perjured testimony was admitted into the sentencing process. But the government's response doesn't address the perjury and how that affected Sholom Rubashkin's sentence. It sidesteps the whole matter as though it's of no concern. That's an outrage."
He noted "the one hundred eighty degree turn" in the position of the Des Moines Register's editorial board, commenting that it signals "increasing awareness at the grassroots level that a great miscarriage of justice was done."
"I'm not familiar with any case that has obtained anything close to the support of so many prominent figures in the Department of Justice," remarked the former U.S. Deputy Attorney General. "I have confidence that ultimately this miscarriage of justice will be righted and this man will return to his family."

Wyoming Responds: Should the Parents of Ethan Crumbley Be Held Responsible for Mass School Shooting?
Nick Perkins
Nick Perkins Published: December 9, 2021
Photo Courtesy of CNN
It's the classic question of nature vs. nurture.
When Ethan Crumbley, the teenager who allegedly shot 11 of his classmates at Oxford High School, killing 4 and wounding 7, was arrested and jailed was no longer a perceived threat to the community, the shift quickly began to focus on his parents.
James and Jennifer Crumbley were charged on December 3rd with four counts of involuntary manslaughter because, prosecutors argue, they provided their son with the gun that he used to allegedly shoot his fellow students.
According to CNN, Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald alleged that James Crumbley purchased a Sig Sauer 9mm handgun for his son, Ethan. Ethan then posted a picture of the handgun on his Instagram account and captioned it: "Just got my new beauty today. SIG SAUER 9mm," accompanied by a heart-eyes emoji.
MCDonald said that Jennifer Crumbley, Ethan's mother, posted to her own social media page, calling the gun "his new Christmas present."
McDonald said that the day before the shooting, a teacher saw Ethan Crumbley searching for ammunition on his phone and reported it to school officials.
CNN reported that, "Jennifer Crumbley did not respond to school officials when they called her about that conduct -- but later that day sent a text message to her son saying, 'LOL I'm not mad at you. You have to learn not to get caught,' McDonald said."
On the day of the shooting, November 30, another teacher alerted school authorities again after seeing a drawing from Ethan that showed a handgun pointing to the words: "The thoughts won't stop. Help Me."
James and Jennifer were called into the school on the day of the shooting and were told of the various drawings. Yet they still refused to pull their son out of school, and the school did not suspend him, McDonald said.
Later that afternoon is when Ethan began firing shots at schoolmates in the hallway and those who were hiding in a classroom.
Ethan was arrested and charged as in adult. He's been charged with 24 different counts, including four counts of first-degree murder and terrorism causing death.
Shortly after, Ethan's parents were charged with four counts of involuntary manslaughter.
After they were charged, the Crumbley parents were scheduled for an arraignment on Friday, December 3rd.
They never showed up.
CNN reported that the couple withdrew $4,000 from an ATM on Friday and that at first, authorities were tracking the couple via cell phone pings, but that the signal had dropped because the phones had been turned off.
An official manhunt began, but the couple were located the following Saturday morning on the first floor of an industrial building in Detroit.
"They appeared to be hiding in the building," said Detroit Chief of Police James White.
Both parents pled Not Guilty and are currently being held in the same county facility as their son, but all three are being kept apart from each other.
Obviously, this is a very complicated case. Opinions on the matter are inconsequential outside of a court of law. But, the court of public opinion being what it is, many Wyoming residents had a lot to say on the issue. As always, opinions were vast and varied, K2 Radio News is invested in giving the community a chance to have their voice heard. Below are some of the comments from Wyoming residents about whether James and Jennifer Crumbley should be held responsible for the actions of their son.
Wyoming residents respond to the question of whether the parents of Ethan Crumbley should be held responsible (and found guilty) for enabling their son to allegedly shoot multiple classmates, killing 4 and injuring 7.

Käsmu peninsula has a rich cultural and natural heritage; here, you can go on shorter and longer hikes.
Who would not know the white houses of the famous "Captain's Village" and its naval school with a dignified history? Lucky boulders and a statue called Signe that kneels in the graveyard, as well as military heritage from the Soviet times are obligatory sights to visit.
Käsmu peninsula is also a gigantic natural Ice Age park with a unique boulder field and romantic rocks left behind by glacial drift. Lake Käsmu and Eru Bay are places that are unfortunately rarely visited; here, the peninsula that otherwise has a low rocky coastline throws in a surprise sandy beach and high embankment.
The treasure hunt is a fun adventurous outdoor game that teachesusing a map and a compass. It is a team game that tests people's ingenuity, observation and cooperation skills. When passing the trail, the participants see all the important sights in Käsmu. Participation does not require any prior knowledge about orienteering in the nature and suits any age group. It is possible to vary the length, content and time of passing the trail. Prices start at 10 euros per person. Price is valid for a group of 10–35; larger and smaller groups should negotiate the price separately.

The NCP address crunch
02011-04-01T17:31:37+00:00
[Note: This text was posted through a time warp from 1979. Special thanks to Dan Bernstein and Avery Pennarun for their technical expertise.]
Computers on the ARPAnet talk to each other using NCP, the Network Control Protocol. Each computer on the ARPAnet has its own public NCP address, similar to a street number; for example, 207. The target of each packet of data is identified by a public NCP address.
Problem: There are only 256 NCP addresses. Many of those addresses have already been allocated. What happens when we run out of public NCP addresses?
Partial solution: Do all these computers really need to be on the ARPAnet? A company with 20 computers browsing FTP sites doesn't need to put all those computers on the ARPANET. It can have a single computer on the ARPAnet (a "proxy") that retrieves data from FTP servers on behalf of the other 19 computers, forwards telephone-over-NCP calls from those computers, etc.
Most people agree, however, that proxies merely delay the inevitable.
Long term solution: IPv4, the new Internet protocol, has many more addresses.
Basic interoperability issues
Suppose someone sells you a public IPv4 address. You put your computer on that address. You find that you can't reach your company's FTP servers. How will you react?
This is an example of what's called an interoperability failure. Right now, many–in fact, most–network services can't talk to clients on public IPv4 addresses. Until this changes, using a public IPv4 address instead of an NCP address will be a disaster for servers.
The IPv4 designers made a fundamental conceptual mistake: they designed the IPv4 address space as an alternative to the NCP address space, rather than an extension to the NCP address space.
This might sound like a very small mistake: after all, once IPv4 is working, we can move everything to IPv4, so who cares about NCP? The problem is that this mistake has gigantic effects on the cost of making IPv4 work in the first place.
Each of the server admins must acquire his own public IPv4 address, announce that alongside his NCP address, and configure the server to respond to that address alongside its public NCP address, or else the client will fail.
If I run an IPv4-only server, people with NCP can't connect to it, and at least one valuable person is surely going to remain on NCP. So if I adopt IPv4, I adopt it in addition to NCP, not in exclusion. IPv4 will only start to be useful once I can turn off NCP, which will only be after all servers have IPv4 addresses. Any transition plan involves everyone having an IPv4 address, and until then we can't start dropping NCP, and IPv4 won't be useful. This is a classic chicken-and-egg problem, and it's unsolvable by brute force. *
But really, there's only one thing that makes IPv4 undesirable, but it's a doozy: the addresses are just too annoyingly long. I can easily remember that DEC is 79, Xerox PARC is 32, and BBN is 72. With the new IPv4, I'm expected to memorize 15.216.110.22 to reach HP, 13.7.8.141 to reach PARC, and 192.1.98.3 to reach BBN. Instead of three simple numbers, I now have to memorize four times as many, and make sure I get them in the right order. Madness.
So IPv4 addresses are impossible to memorize. What's more, auto-renumbering of hosts via DHCP means that anything I memorize today might be totally different tomorrow. IPv4 addresses are like GUIDs. If they were a good idea, people would use them instead of URLs. Are URLs perfect? Does anyone love Network Solutions? No, of course not. But it's 1000x better than looking at http://97.42.88.4/ and trying to guess if that's *really* my bank's web site or not.
The counterargument, of course, is that DNS is supposed to solve this problem. Give each host a GUID IPv4 address, and then just map a name to that address, and you can have the best of both worlds.
But DNS is a steaming pile of hopeless garbage. When I bring my laptop to my friend's house and join his LAN, why can't I see the other hosts on his LAN by name? Because DNS sucks. I'd rather they fixed that problem today before making me switch to something where I can't possibly remember my host address.
Basically, we need some sort of DNS protocol where new hosts on a network can exchange name information with zero configuration required. And a way for servers to multicast DNS information to allow some sort of service discovery. While they're at it, they should find a way for IP addresses to be assigned automatically without needing a DHCP server to be set up. If they did all that, it might make IP usable. Perhaps eventually they might even make printers and other devices work with this magical zero configuration DNS.
But while we wait for the impossible, there's a solution to this whole IPv4 mess right now. We just need to skip the whole boondoggle. As already mentioned, not everyone in the world needs a public NCP address. In fact, most people don't need one, because most people make only outgoing connections. Their internal network address can be mapped to the external address by their IMP router, via Network Address Translation (NAT).
OK, you say, but don't all servers need an NCP address? Not at all! HTTP/1.1, which is what everyone uses now, supports "virtual hosts". You can connect to an NCP address on port 80, and you provide a Host: header at the beginning of the connection, telling it which server name you're looking for. The NCP address can then decide to route that request anywhere it wants.
So your request for www.google.com at address 79 could be routed by IMP to a different address, say 15, on BBN's internal network. That server would look at the header and route via an internal connection to Google's IMP, which might be address 32 on the internal BBN network. So no, we are not going to run out of NCP addresses, because the web is all anyone uses any more and HTTP is infinitely proxyable.

Rich creamy brie like cheese made all the better because it is heart shaped. We have paired it with a half bottle of bubbly, Cremant de Bourgone, Sunflower Seeds, Crackers and Two Heart Shaped Shortbread. Let the romantic evening begin.


Olivia Pope is opening doors for Black actresses left and right. Octavia Spencer who won an Oscar for "The Help," has snagged the lead role in a pilot of "Murder, She Wrote," for NBC. According to Deadline, Spencer will star in the reboot that is only a pilot as of right now. Spencer's knack for crime-solving led her straight to the role.


The plate was placed in front of me and immediately I started to analyze the contents of this burger. Everything between the bun looked perfectly cooked and my mouth was instantly watering. I was a little disappointed with the burger, mostly because I've been more so accustomed to a more massively sized burger, but I was hoping that this would be a "good things come in small packages" kind of situation. I finally stopped admiring the meaty contents of the burger and it was time to take my first bite.
I wasn't completely sure what to expect with this burger as up until now, every burger in my journey had consisted of a beef patty. In the Big Bad Wolf, the main piece of meat was the roast pork belly. After my first bite, I knew that I was not going to have any complaints with the lack of beef. The pork belly was so juicy and delicious, that I had to stop myself from just devouring it within minutes. The fried egg, as always, gave the burger such a great flavor, and it really put this burger on another level. As I was eating, there was a taste that kept returning to my mouth, and I wasn't able to figure out what it was until a little over halfway through the burger. I finally figured out that it was the bacon marmalade. This was something that I had never had before, but it was honestly my favorite part of the meal. It added a sweet bacon flavor to the burger, and it was really nice paired up with the pork belly. On a side note (no pun intended), I upgraded my fries to the poutine, which was a great decision. Our waitress said it best when she said "they do poutine right, here". The gravy was unlike any I've had before, and I would definitely recommend it.
Bearly's is a place that I have only ever been to at night, and I will admit that it was kind of weird being in there during daylight. That being said, it is a really cool place no matter what time of day, and I was glad to see that it didn't look horrible with the lights turned on (which is the case with some places). We were one of only a few groups in there (it wasn't a peak meal time), and there was a very laid back vibe throughout our visit. The waitress was great, and she made small talk and answered any questions that we had. She also really seemed to enjoy the atmosphere of Bearly's, which in turn allowed me to enjoy it that much more.
This burger rings in at $9, or $12 if you get the platter (plus another $3 if you upgrade to poutine). For the size of the burger, $9 is very fair. When you take into consideration the beautifully cooked pieces of meat within the burger, plus the fact that it's mostly comprised of local cuts, the Big Bad Wolf is a great deal.
I was pretty impressed with Bearly's and Ace Burger Company. A lot of people have suggested it to me, and I started to feel like it wouldn't live up to the hype. It wasn't the best burger that I've ever had, but it definitely holds it's own, and it was a very delicious meal. I will be going back to try out the other burger options that they have, and I can see this place becoming a personal favorite of mine.


Abstract : In this paper we present a novel source separation method aiming to overcome the difficulty of modelling non-stationary signals. The method can be applied to mixtures of musical instruments with frequency and/or amplitude modulation, e.g. typically caused by vi-brato. It is based on a signal representation that divides the complex spectrogram into a grid of patches of arbitrary size. These complex patches are then processed by a two-dimensional discrete Fourier transform, forming a tensor representation which reveals spectral and temporal modulation textures. Our representation can be seen as an alternative to modulation transforms computed on magnitude spectrograms. An adapted factorization model allows to decompose different time-varying harmonic sources based on their particular common modulation profile: hence the name Common Fate Model. The method is evaluated on musical instrument mixtures playing the same fundamental frequency (unison), showing improvement over other state-of-the-art methods.

Getting married in the Greater Los Angeles area? Orange County, Santa Barbara, San Diego and Palm Springs brides know how expensive it can be to rent a venue, provde a great meal and an open bar for your guests, arrange for lovely flowers, a great wedding photographer, fabulous wedding dress – and a king's ransom of other gooda ans servces – out here in the Wild West.
The costs just keep mounting until planning a California wedding becomes painful – and you haven't even been hit with the valet parking service's fees yet!
Savvy brides also want to have live music for their weddings.
Live music totally makes a wedding…but only if it's done right (that means it's about YOU, not about US).
Live music, you say – fairly tearing your hair out.
Before you decide to take most of the fun out of your wedding by plugging in an iPod, you may want to know why those party bands are so expensive.
First of all, they're top-heavy. They need to have lots of people onstage in order to do a variety of music. They have backup singers who sing one or two songs each, and often the hardest working person up there is the guy with the computer – who is cue-ing up pre-recorded "backup tracks." Somebody had to spend the time recording those, and if you have a list of songs these guys don't know, they have to learn them. That means they take some of your money and put it toward rehearsals.
We're different: we know 4,000 songs!
Some of our musicians are Grammy winners; all are top virtuoso players.
Our small ensembles are much more entertaining – and definitely more versatile – than all of the "party bands," cover bands" and "tribute bands" put together.
We're the exact opposite of what most wedding bands can offer clients.
As I mentioned, most bands need to to have a lot of people in them: backup singers, dancing girls…groupies to pass out sunglasses…in order to offer musical versatility.
It borders on the ridiculous – and guess who's paying for all this fun. You are!
With us, your guests provide the fun – spurred on by us, as we play great tunes and interact with each other, you, your guests…it's crazy and fabulous!
You also get some really smooth first dance orchestrations, seamless pacing and announcing…pretty much everything you need to royally entertain your guests and have the most magical, memorable wedding anyone you know has ever attended.
We think it's important to have the wedding of your dreams – at a price you can afford!

Kerry to Meet With Ukraine Opposition in Munich
Scott Stearns
German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier (R) and US Secretary of State John Kerry (L) address a press conference, Jan. 31, 2014 in Berlin, Germany.
BERLIN — U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said Friday that Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych has not yet made sufficient concessions to end his nation's political crisis.
Kerry spoke from Germany where he will meet with Ukrainian opposition leaders on the sidelines of an international security conference.
Yanukovych says his political opponents are escalating the crisis, unlike his own government, which he says has fulfilled its obligations to end the standoff by replacing the prime minister and granting a conditional amnesty for arrested protestors.
But Kerry said the Yanukovych government still has work to do.
"The offers of President Yanukovich have not yet reached an adequate level of reform and an adequate level of sharing of the future so that the opposition can in fact feel that it could legitimately come to the table and form some kind of unity government," he said.
Kerry spoke to reporters in Berlin alongside German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeir.
Speaking through a translator, Steinmeir said it is still unclear whether the Ukrainian president is willing to accept real change.
"My impression is that Yanukovych up until now still has not fully understood how serious the situation is as can clearly be seen by the nature of the offers that have been made," he said. "They have been made contingent on a number of conditions."
Ukrainian opposition leaders including politician Arseny Yatsenyuk and former boxing champion-turned-activist Vitali Klitschko will meet with foreign ministers in Munich Saturday
Kerry said he will reinforce the need for them to continue to be unified as they press for a reform agenda.
"But we will also say to them: 'If you get that reform agenda, if you are able to secure genuine participation and a genuine ability to bring the country together then we would urge them to engage in that because further standoff and further violence that becomes uncontrollable is not in anybody's interest,' " he said.
Kerry said he has discussed events in Ukraine with his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov and has stressed the importance of events there not getting "trapped in some kind of larger ambition for Russia or the United States."
"That's not what this is about," he said. "This is about the freedom of choice for the people of Ukraine and their ability to be able to define their future without coercion from outside forces."
Protests in Kyiv
Ukrainians took to the streets in November when Yanukovych backed out of a trade deal with the European Union in favor of closer ties to Russia.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said this week that he wants to wait for a new government in Ukraine before proceeding with a promised $15 billion loan and substantial natural gas discounts.
The United Nations human rights office is calling on Yanukovych to investigate recent reports of deaths, kidnappings and torture during the political unrest. The president announced Thursday that he is going on sick leave for an acute respiratory infection and fever.

BREEZE was saved from Garland Animal Services on 7th March 2015.
BREEZE s a very happy girl, who is very affectionate, she is very high energy and you can see her mind ticking just wanting to be challenged and so an active family is a must for this beauty. BREEZE is very attentive and I believe would do great in any kind of training or activity. BREEZE does jump up and so if small children are in the family this must be addressed straight away, she is very intelligent and responsive so I do not see this being a difficult task with the correct approach and guidance.
BREEZE gets on great with other dogs of all ages and sizes, we currently have German Shepherds, mixes and lots of medium / small terrier dogs and she has shown no aggression or prey drive towards any of them. We do not have cats in rescue and so we cannot say how she will act around cats.
BREEZE needs a family that understands both the mental and physical needs of the German Shepherd Dog and are able to provide her with lots of exercise, which is a lot more than just throwing a ball in the back-yard, she needs lots of stimulation, and going to different places and letting her take in the sights, sounds and smells the world has is a great way to do this, along training! BREEZE does need a family that is able to spend time and work with her on basic and advanced training. This not only helps form a stronger bond, but also allows boundaries and expectations to be set and for both human and dog to learn each others body language and personalities.
BREEZE is available for adoption through Give a Dog a Home, German Shepherd Dog Rescue for an adoption fee of $450.
If you are interested in adopting this beautiful girl, please go to the APPLICATION tab and complete and submit the form.


ASTANA, June 5 (Reuters) - Russia's second largest oil company Lukoil plans to invest $270 million in exploration at the Zhenis licence area in the Kazakh part of the Caspian Sea, Lukoil's president Vagit Alekperov said in Astana on Tuesday.
Lukoil and Kazakh state oil company KMG signed an agreement in principle on Tuesday for possible work on the Zhenis licence area which lies at a depth of 75 to 100 metres and is located 180 kilometres from Kazakhstan's Aktau port.
The two companies will establish a consortium after completing procedures needed for the agreement to enter force, Lukoil said. They will then negotiate with Kazakhstan to be approved to explore and produce at the block.
"The first stage (of prospecting) envisages investments of around $60 million - this is for drilling a well and for seismic work .... The second stage of prospecting is $210 million," Alekperov said.

This is a worldwide appeal to save one of the most beautiful and magical bays of the Aegean Sea, Tris Klissies, located right at its heart.
The Greek Government has allocated a grant of € 6.996.500,00 to the Company "Ios Marina SA", owned and headed by Angelos Michalopoulos, a Greek businessman, in order to study the creation of a marina for 175 yachts to be built in the bay on public land. In fact, the coastline belongs to the Greek State for a broadness of 20 meters, I. E. from the sea towards the land. This means the total and permanent destruction of the bay with the construction, on the rocks, of a wharf. (See annex 1).
In order to achieve this goal, Mr Michalopoulos acquired in 2007 from Mr Fraguli Bouzalakos, through the Company "Sharivan Limited", a plot of land of 248.000 square meters, which includes the peninsula called Louka and reaches the next bay called Papas, on which Mr Michalopoulos is at present completing the resort "Calilo". In fact this plot of land does not splay for 248.000 square meters, but it exceeds 1.100.000 square meters, as it is shown in the enclosed copy of the original contract and the topographic map. This is a fraud which has been already denounced to the public authorities. The reason of this falsity in public act derives from the fact that in Greece it was not possible – at the time of signing of the contract- to buy a plot of land exceeding 250.000 square meters without a prior permission from the Government. This permission could not be granted because the original title of possession of the land owned by Mr Fraguli Bouzalakos amounted to 50.000 square meters. This matter is at present under investigation at the Court of Naxos. (See annex 2).
Moreover, in order to complete the acquisition of the necessary land to build the marina, Mr Michalopoulos proceeded in the purchase of 50% of the land—18,000 square meters—belonging to the white house that you can see in the photo above. Being co-owned by four different titleholders, Mr Michalopoulos failed to get full control of the property, and started a court case against the two owners – who firmly decided to resist him – and forced through the trial which in the space of a few years will lead to the public auction of the land and the house.

Pictured, from left, are business owners Andrea and Dale Camp, MRH Foundation Executive Director Eva Peroulis, MRH CEO Andy Daniels and MRH Foundation Vice Chair and Treasurer Ashley Kawcak.
CRAIG — The effort to consolidate clinical and hospital health care into a single location is something Andrea and Dale Camp support. They were at The Memorial Hospital on Monday, June 18, to present a $5,000 contribution from their business — Great Divide Cleaning Service — toward construction of a medical office building.
"I think it's so important we have great health care options in our community," Andrea Camp said.
Their donation is part of the yearlong effort by the Memorial Regional Health Foundation to raise $1 million locally to leverage outside support for the project. The foundation has now raised $810,000.
"The continued support from the community is outstanding. We wouldn't be able to do what we do for the hospital without the community support," said Foundation Vice Chair and Treasurer Ashely Kawcak.
To donate to MRH Foundation or inquire about purchasing a leaf on the donor tree, call 970-826-2424 or email eva.peroulis@tmhcraig.org.

"It was back in 1938 that the brothers Erik and August and their friend Viktor migrated south. They left the small village in the northern forests where they grew up for the big city and the university, to study the science of harvesting the earth. On the fields beside the burial mounds in old Uppsala they met Tommie, a Soviet refugee. He showed them his sole possession, a blues vinyl from 5300 BC, suspecting that it would fit their melancholy northern souls. The four sat down in a barn and played a blues jam which lasted until 1945, when the war ended and the post-apocalyptic nuclear winter began…"
So begins the extraordinary tale of Swedish 'bad luck boogie' combo THE TOWER, whose cryptic, swinging timewarp of a debut LP is now released via London's Bad Omen Records. The offbeat freakbeat and phantasmagorical psych-blues of Hic Abundant Leones exude an ageless charm and resounding singularity, striking eerie, dreamlike atmospheres that seemingly confirm THE TOWER's eccentric parallel-universe narrative.

Mettlach/VB Ges Gesch 1905 14" Spectacular Mint Vase!
Very rare, large 14" tall, and wonderful Mettlach/Villeroy and Boch Etched Matte Vase! There are four panels in four colors encircling this stunning Art Nouveau classic vase. Purchased directly from Germany some years ago, this could be the showpiece of your collection. Marked on the bottom is the castle, and the word METTLACH on a sign. Under those markings are the VB (Villeroy and Boch) lettering, GES.GESCH, and the number 2913. Also, there is a number 1 on the lower left, and 05 on the lower right. I believe this vase was made in 1905. It is in factory perfect condition. We have an entire collection of this pattern both utilitarian and decorative. Please inquire for any piece or group of pieces that meets your interest. All of our fragile items are double boxed and include USPO priority insured shipping. The flat rate for this piece is $45. I will consider shipping internationally after determining costs.

L'USS Shad (SS-235) est un sous-marin de la classe Gato construit pour l'United States Navy pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale.

Sa quille est posée le  au chantier naval Portsmouth Naval Shipyard de Kittery, dans le Maine. Il est lancé le , parrainé par  Priscilla Alden Dudley et mis en service le , sous le commandement du lieutenant commander Edgar J. MacGregor III.

Historique
Après sa mise en condition au large des côtes de la Nouvelle-Angleterre, le Shad mène ses premières patrouilles dans l'Atlantique Nord, naviguant de l'Afrique de l'Ouest au nord de la Norvège. Il coule durant cette période un dragueur de mines auxiliaire allemand, un forceur de blocus italien et endommage également un marchand allemand transportant des minerais.

En , il est transféré dans le Pacifique au cours duquel il effectue six patrouilles de guerre. Il opère notamment au large des îles japonaises et de Taïwan vers la fin de la guerre, endommageant un certain nombre de cargos (plusieurs d'entre eux seront coulés, notamment le Kaibokan Ioshima) et perturbant la logistique japonaise.

Retiré du service en 1947, il est employé en tant que navire-école de la réserve navale dans le premier district naval jusqu'au , date à laquelle il est vendu pour démolition la même année à la société Luria Brothers de Kearny, dans le New Jersey.

Décorations
Le Shad  a reçu six battle stars pour son service pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale.
