Around this time each year, thousands of UC Berkeley students move out of their accommodations and head for home. And each year they leave behind a colossal mess. Walking through the area south of campus near Piedmont Avenue, which hosts a number of fraternities, sororities and other student housing, the evidence of the exodus is everywhere. Discarded belongings line the sidewalks. Couches and mattresses are especially common, but other items included a television and a teddy bear. Also present are heaps of debris whose original form can be difficult to identify. Even when students make an effort to place everything in appropriate receptacles, the contents inevitably overflow.
Before all Cal students are labeled slobs, it should be noted that there were also numerous signs of attempts to clean up. U-Haul trucks lined the streets and students were hard at work packing belongings into car trunks and trash into dumpsters. The city and university have also taken steps to minimize the mess.
“Over the years, UC has worked closely with the city to reduce the amount of trash left after spring semester ends and the mass exodus of students begins,” said Cal spokesman for Residential and Student Service Programs Marty Takimoto. “During move-out, UC sets up large dumpsters near each of our major residence hall complexes and coordinates with UC recycling to recycle items which were previously thrown away or left on sidewalks.”
A new program this year had students lease in-room refrigerators rather than bringing their own. This addressed an issue from previous years where many fridges were left behind. Those refrigerators were often hard to recycle or throw away, but the fridges leased to students this year were Energy Star rated for efficiency, and the provider collected them at the end of the year. “I’ve found that students are very interested in recycling and being more sustainable. They just need to have information to help them do so,” Takimoto added.
This year, Takimoto said, the move-out process from the residence halls went “very smoothly.”
“We haven’t eliminated all the trash left by students but we continue to improve each year,” he said.
Unfortunately, the mess may prove to be the inevitable result of a massive and sudden annual departure of residents from the neighborhood. Berkeleyside documented the Southside scene earlier this week.

A diss on President Barack Obama has once again sparked a fight in San Francisco.
For at least a second time in less than two months, police were called to a scuffle Saturday about a man who attempted to take down an anti-Obama sign that featured a Hitler mustache drawn over the president’s face.
The suspect had been attacking political supporters of Lyndon LaRouche, a fringe political activist who opposes the president and has been setting up information stands at various locations citywide, a LaRouche official said.
Attacks on LaRouche supporters seems to happen almost weekly, not just in The City but nationwide, said Alexandra Perebikovsky, a campaign manager for LaRouche Congressional candidate Summer Shields.
"It's definitely something we have to deal with a lot," Perebikovsky said. "Generally our procedure is if anything looks like it might get violent, we'll call the cops."
The latest incident was reported to police around 11 a.m. near the intersection of West Portal Avenue and Vicente Street. The LaRouche supporters called police after a member of an angry mob tried to tear down their poster. There were no injuries or arrest.
Last month, a 29-year-old Daly City man who had set up an anti-Obama table with political literature and signs was attacked in the 1200 block of Fell Street.
Two suspects approached the victim, tore one of the signs and shook the table, causing the political literature to fall to the ground.
An employee at a RadioShack and a manager at a Starbucks on West Portal Avenue said the LaRouche supporters have set up several times in the area.
On Saturday, a mob of angry passerby apparently incited the aggressive behavior, Perebikovsky said.
"One person starts yelling, then has other people start yelling, and other people will get riled up," she said.
Perebikovsky said she knows that signs potraying the president as a fascist might anger San Franciscans.
"But we have to do it," she said. "Right now what we are facing [in terms of the national economy] is a scary situation. It might offend some people, but it's more important that we are out there educating people...then just sitting back."

Patient Elopement Tracking System
How Delonti Solution works:
- RFID bracelets are worn by patients or attached to hospital equipment, and emit a signal which is detected and accurately located by the hospital’s Wireless Network.
- Location and status data from these tags is then sent to software and integrated with interactive maps and detailed information. This allows the hospital to search for and identify at-risk patients in real-time, over any web browser.
- Active RFID system receivers can be strategically positioned throughout a facility to provide the most extensive coverage and ensure optimized signal strength for the best monitoring of wander-prone individuals.

Lacie Lowry, News On 6
TULSA, Oklahoma -- The Tulsa Gang Unit arrested three teens Monday night in connection with a gang-related shooting.
The shooting happened Monday afternoon near 2nd and Xanthus.
It was the latest in a string of gang violence between two rivals and left one man in the hospital.
Gang unit officers arrested two members of the Latin Kings gang and one member of the Florencia gang.
Abad Cuevas, 19, Alex Perez, 17, and Juan Davila, 16, were arrested on charges of shooting with intent to kill, using a vehicle to discharge a gun and malicious mischief. Cuevas is also charged with conspiracy to commit felony murder, and possession of marijauna with intent.
Neighbors aren't surprised that police say several shootings over the last few days are all gang-related.
"Generally drive-bys, generally they're shooting at the cars or the front of the house," said Chris Whitney. "They may or not have been targeting people before now but apparently today there was a pretty big escalation."
Leslie Johnson and Chris and Mary Whitney live near 2nd and Xanthus, where the most serious of those shootings happened Monday afternoon.
"We've had a stray bullet through our front door, so I'm really nervous about that," Johnson said.
Witnesses told police a vehicle drove into the intersection, a man got out, pointed a handgun at the victim, fired a couple of shots, then drove away. Police recovered six casings, possibly from a .22.
"This has not been an uncommon place for us to have some shootings. This particular home has been shot on a couple of other occasions," said Tulsa Police Sergeant Bill Goree.
Tulsa's Gang Unit says the shooting was retaliation believed to be between members of the South Land Wicked gang and the Latin Kings, who have teamed up with the Juaritos and the Florencia gang.
"A vehicle matching the same description of a light-colored SUV was involved in a shooting last night also about 11 o'clock just a few blocks from here," Sergeant Goree said.
Gang officers say two members of the Latin Kings and one Florencia sprayed gang graffiti all over this gas station and car wash near East 21st and 109th East Avenue. They wrote over South Land Wicked's graffiti, a sign of disrespect.
Police later chased down an SUV and found several cans of spray paint in the car. The three teens inside were arrested and officers say they tracked them back to Monday's Xanthus shooting as well.
Johnson and the Whitneys want city leaders to help stop the violence.
"As homeowners, we should feel safe in our homes, it doesn't matter where we are in Tulsa" Johnson said.
They believe it's detrimental to the neighborhood and every other tax payer.
"We have to call the police here again and again and again. Those are tax dollars," Mary Whitney said.
The victim in Monday's shooting was shot once in the chest and is expected to survive.


Florida State President Sen. Wilton Simpson (R-Trilby) has officially announced that he will seek to become the state’s next commissioner of Agriculture. The cabinet post is being vacated by Nikki Fried who announced in June that she will challenge Gov Ron DeSantis to become Florida’s next Governor.
Initially elected to the Florida Legislature in 2021, Simpson currently serves as President of the state’s senate. He will term out in 2022.
In May, former President Donald Trump announced that he would back him for the post, but Simpson declined to officially commit to his candidacy at that time.
On Sept. 4 Simpson officially filed as a candidate for the Agriculture post on the 2022 ballot according to his spokesperson Erin Isaac.
In a written statement, Isaac said that for too long politicians have long told voters to vote for them and settle for less.
“They say it’s either low taxes or great schools, either family farms or clean water, either Florida’s consumers or Florida’s businesses,” Isaac’s said in the statement. “President Simpson believes Floridians can have all of these things and remains focused on fighting for them in Tallahassee during this critical time.”
Simpson is challenged in the race by Republicans Richard Olle Jr and James Shaw and Democrat Ryan Morales.

This Italian salsa verde is a versatile sauce bright in flavor and color. It is rich in antioxidants and good served on almost anything. Poured over roasted vegetables, seafood or chicken, mixed into pasta, whole grains or legumes, as a dip for raw vegetables…
The best part is it requires no skill other than opening a can of anchovies and peeling a few cloves or garlic.
It’s best to first process the garlic, parsley, anchovies and capers in a food processor, remove them to a bowl, then add the lemon juice and olive oil. The next best option is to slowly pour the oil into the food processor with the motor running. But you want to avoid over processing the olive oil, or your sauce may turn bitter. The blades of a food processor break down the oil molecules and may release bitter compounds.
If you don’t have a food processor, you can chop everything by hand – a bit more work, but the resulting Italian salsa verde is totally worth it!
I do not recommend using a blender, as a blender requires liquid to “blend”. You would have to add the lemon juice and olive oil together with the other ingredients, potentially resulting in a bitterness created by the blades’ action.
Enjoy this delicious Italian salsa verde!
Other recipes you might like:
Italian salsa verde
- 4 cloves garlic
- 4 cups fresh parsley
- 4 anchovy fillets
- 1/4 cup capers
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- Place garlic, parsley, anchovies and capers in a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped, stopping to scrape the sides as needed.
- Remove to a bowl. Add lemon juice and pepper, then slowly whisk in the olive oil until emulsified.
- As an option, you can add lemon juice and pepper to the food processor once the parsley is finely chopped. With the motor running, slowly add oil until emulsified. Do not over process or the oil may turn bitter.

You report (news article, Nov. 16) that in the contested race in New Jersey's 12th Congressional District, Republicans accused their Democratic opponents of inappropriately gathering dozens of votes from hospitalized psychiatric patients.
You note that most New Jersey residents institutionalized with mental illness retain the right to vote. Indeed, people with mental illness can vote and should. While any manipulation of votes is unlawful and unethical, considering the voting potential of the mentally ill to be less than valid undermines one of the fundamental bases of a participatory democracy.

Know Your Enemy — Iranian and Saudi Perspectives on ISIL
In fall 2015, the EWI center in Brussels, in collaboration with the Center for Applied Research in Partnership with the Orient (CARPO), initiated cooperation to develop a format for confidential dialogues between Iran and Saudi Arabia. With the rise of ISIL in the Middle East, there is a rising urgency to set up Track 2 channels to foster and facilitate dialogue and find common ground between these two key players in the region. A brief by Adnan Tabatabai and Kawa Hassan, EWI's MENA program director, describes the conversation and highlights points that could be grounds for possible partnership.
Executive summary of the brief:
To successfully contain and defeat ISIL, the deeply fractured and war-torn Middle East needs to be stabilized. This strategic goal cannot be achieved without functional relations between Iran and Saudi Arabia. Against the backdrop of recent escalating tensions between the two countries, a newly developed emphasis on shared interests and common challenges between Tehran and Riyadh is more crucial than ever. To this end, CARPO and the East West Institute (EWI) brought together experts from both countries in the fall of 2015 to exchange respective views on the regional threat posed by ISIL. Both sides agreed that a comprehensive strategy against this terrorist group needs a focus on root causes and must entail: (1) addressing socio-political grievances that create conducive environments for the flourishing of violent extremism, (2) undermining the ideological oxygen that feeds terrorism, (3) targeting internal and external financial resources, and (4) dismantling the bureaucratic, infrastructural and -8state' capacities of ISIL. While fostering regional cooperation, Western states need to adopt a balanced approach that abstains from playing out regional actors against each other. The regional responsibilities of Iran and Saudi Arabia must be addressed and shared interests emphasized, in order to pave the way for an effective and long-term campaign against ISIL, led by the two regional powers.

Gohar Rasheed, who is famous for his negative roles on TV, has revealed that the audience took his wicked role of Mann Mayal very seriously.
In an interview, Gohar shared that he has been judged too many times and requests fans not to associate his real-life personality with his reel-life character.
The Mann Mayal actor shared an incident in which a woman came up to him and asked if he’s Mikael from Mann Mayal. When he said yes, she responded, “You are a bad person and you should leave this place before we slap you.”
“Had I stayed there a few moments longer, I would’ve probably gotten a slap,” said Gohar.
Gohar added that his character Mikael is so relatable for people which is why his character angers the audience.
“When the drama aired, I received messages from women on my Facebook page and profile saying, ‘Thank you so much for playing your character so well, our ex-husbands used to behave exactly like that; mistreating us while we used to sit naively and thinking no, he is my husband, there was also the societal pressure. Now after watching Mann Mayal we realise we were only ill-treating ourselves. Thank you so much for playing this role and you’re a terrible person’.”
The actor has played numerous negative roles. So when asked if he does not want to be a hero? He replied, “No, in our industry we have a lot of heroes, and whoever comes to become a hero.”
He shared how he’s now being typecast into playing only negative roles. “Most of the pappu boys in our industry who don’t know how to act and are still acting. They aren’t here on merit. I dislike them immensely,” he said.
When asked about his personal life, Gohar said, ‘Akelay ain hain akelay chalay jaingay.’ (You come in this world alone, you leave alone). He further added that he believes in fidelity and has been sincere in all his relationships.
He also noted that Fawad Khan did a great job in Kapoor & Sons.
“Fawad did a commendable job in the movie,” he said, adding that he wouldn’t mind taking up the role had he been given the chance.

Casey Back at the Bat
August 31, 2009 § Leave a comment
Now reading: A Child Again, by Robert Coover.
Reading next: Dangerous Laughter, by Steven Millhauser.
Don’t we all find the postmodern retelling of the classic tale a little played out by now? Aren’t we more or less sick of old stories from new perspectives (as my wife Jaime says, books following the The [insert traditionally male occupation]’s Wife/Maid/Daughter template have truly reached the saturation/nauseatingly trite level), contemporary retellings of “timeless” legends, extensions and expansions of bare-bones myths and folktales? Or is it just me? Is this, in fact, Barth’s “literature of exhaustion,” or is it me that’s exhausted?
Actually, though, to be honest, I’m more often exhausted by the idea than I am by the stories themselves. I like this stuff — I like Barth, Barthelme, Coover, Gardner, all those scavenger-sorcerers digesting and regurgitating literary history. (Did I just admit to liking literary vomit? I guess I did.) Angela Carter’s The Bloody Chamber might be my favorite example, but there are many, many others.
Coover has seemed exhausted a few times so far in this collection — especially the first story, “Sir John Paper Returns to Honah-Lee,” a little metafiction about Puff the Magic Dragon, which dragged on and on. But other times he’s been in fine form; enough that I’ll probably have to do a little top-5 recap to cover all the stories I really liked here once I’m done. I’m surprised that I bought this a few years back, and a little surprised I still wanted to read it: it contains a retelling of Little Red Riding Hood, for chrissakes, which I really felt no need to read another version of after reading Angela Carter. Also a ribald version of Snow White. I have never said to myself, “Someone needs to write a ribald retelling of Snow White.”
And yet I’m still reading. The story that kept me reading was “Playing House,” mysterious and wonderful and sinister. The story that showed me something I didn’t know (or remember) about Coover was “The Return of the Dark Children,” which is a straight-up awesome horror story that happens to also build on the Pied Piper tale. (This story could easily be a J-Horror blockbuster at a cineplex near you.) And the story that crystallized for me why I’m still reading is “McDuff on the Mound,” which is “Casey at the Bat” from the pitcher’s point of view.
I value a story like this because it exists to make you think about why it was written, and why you are reading it. It’s a kind of literary riddle, or postmodern thriller (which there is an actual riddle-story in this collection, too): the suspense builds from all the wrong angles, as you try to guess why it was written, and what the author will do with it. Instead of absorbing you in the details of the plot, it absorbs you in the mind of the author, and in your own ideas about what literature is for, and why you value it.
In “McDuff on the Mound,” you get strangely sucked into the buildup of Mudville’s bottom of the ninth; McDuff, utterly fatalistic, feels wrapped up in a system beyond his control as two horrible hitters make it on base. He feels the inevitability of having to face mighty Casey. Astonishingly, even though you know exactly how the story has ended, you realize that you do not know that that is how Coover will choose to end it here; every retelling is an opportunity to rewrite, to find the recessive genes that were hidden within the DNA of the story. (Incidentally, this is perhaps the most incredible thing about Inglourious Basterds, which I just saw last week. Do you anticipate the audacity of rewriting history — of showing a revision of the world, in all its gory detail? I found myself flabbergasted at the scene in the theater — still do, actually.)
Or not; it may be that the story exists to more fully map the story’s DNA, but not to change its ultimate expression. And this is the true subject of these retellings: you and the author, thinking about why stories work the way they do, and what you want out of them.
Me, I suspect Coover began this story with (or perhaps wrote this story as an excuse to include) this kick-ass exegesis of the name Casey; certainly the slapstick passages earlier in the story feel like padding compared to the energy and enthusiasm in this paragraph:
And Casey: who was Casey? A Hero, to be sure. A Giant. A figure of grace and power, yes, but wasn’t he more than that? He was tall and mighty (omnipotent, some claimed, though perhaps, like all fans, they’d got a bit carried away), with a great mustache and a merry knowing twinkle in his eye. Was he, as had been suggested, the One True Thing? McDuff shook to watch him. He was ageless, older than Mudville certainly, though Mudville claimed him as their own. Some believed that “Casey” was a transliteration of the initials “K.C.” and stood for King Christ. Others, of a similar but simpler school, opted for King Corn, while another group believed it to be a barbarism for Krishna. Some, rightly observing that “case” meant “event,” pursued this meaning back to its primitive root, “to fall,” and thus saw in Casey (for a case was also a container) the whole history and condition of man, a history perhaps as yet incomplete. On the other hand, a case was also an oddity, was it not, and a medical patient, and maybe, said some, mighty Casey was the sickest of them all. Yet a case was an example, cried others, plight, the actual state of things, while a good many thought all such mystification was so much crap, and Casey was simply a good ballplayer….
So what do you think, with that setup in mind? Knowing what you know (or don’t know) about Robert Coover, what’s he do with this story? What do you want him to do?

Mulayam signals peace
Before opening formal consultations, the government and the three Yadavs — Mulayam (SP), Lalu (RJD) and Sharad (JD-U) — opposed to the Women’s Reservation Bill began working the backchannels to look for the elusive meeting ground.delhi Updated: Mar 13, 2010 01:22 IST
Before opening formal consultations, the government and the three Yadavs — Mulayam (SP), Lalu (RJD) and Sharad (JD-U) — opposed to the Women’s Reservation Bill began working the backchannels to look for the elusive meeting ground.
On Friday, Mulayam reportedly went back on the issue of ‘quota within quota.’ Instead, he wanted it made mandatory that parties reserve 20 per cent tickets for women. Failure to do so should invite deregistration of the party.
“We are in favour of women’s reservation but we don’t want more than 20 per cent. In that also, parties should be given the right to decide on the seats to be given to women,’ he told CNN-IBN.
However, his spokesman, Mohan Singh dismissed as speculative reports that the party had given up its sub-quota demand. “There is no change in our stand that if 33 per cent seats in Lok Sabha and assemblies are to be reserved for women, then a quota should be fixed for Muslim and OBC women within this,” he said.
To add to the confusing scenario, Mulayam, Lalu and Sharad had reportedly told the prime minister on Tuesday that if the government pruned reservations to around 20 per cent, they could consider the offer.
“This offer stands, but the government appears to be adamant to pass it in the present form... Then we are left with no option but to intensify our protest,” said an OBC leader.
Reacting to reports of Mulayam’s shift, a Congressman said the SP leader could put his views across to the government whenever formal consultations are initiated. He also claimed that the Yadavs continued to insist on a sub-quota even if the percentage of reservation is reduced to 20 per cent.
“There is no question of any dilution in the one-third reservation in the Bill... But we will not say it openly as it would then render any consultation with the Yadavs redundant,’’ he said.
Sharad refused to elaborate on the talks with the government, but refuted reports of differences between the three Yadavs. “So far as the Bill is concerned, our opposition is on a common point and anything beyond that can be discussed later,” he said.
The Yadav trio — who also met Speaker Meira Kumar on Wednesday — has been emboldened by the voices of dissent within the BJP and Congress.
“At an appropriate time we will tell how many leaders of the Congress, BJP and Left told us they are opposed to the Bill,” said RJD leader R.P. Singh.

Describing James Lavelle’s twenty-five-year career as eclectic would be an absurd understatement. Under the pseudonym UNKLE, he’s released eight studio albums in collaboration with the likes of Thom Yorke, Beck, and, most recently, folk-rock artist and poet Keaton Henson. UNKLE’s ninth venture, which is due to hit shelves on August 18th, is The Road: Part 1—a fifteen part rollercoaster of conflicting sounds. It’s a ride.
As is typical of a Lavelle venture, the album collaborates with a range of huge, and up-and-coming, names in music. The Road: Part 1 showcases the talents of Primal Scream’s Andrew Innes, Jon Theodore, Twiggy, Beck’s Justin Stanley and a handful of newer acts.
Speaking of the album, Lavelle said: “I hadn’t made a record in a long time, and the incarnation of UNKLE had changed in that now, it was me on my own. For that reason, I wanted to make a record that I hadn’t been able to before, going back to the roots of where I came from, with a foot in modern London”
But the fact Lavelle is the only member of UNKLE doesn’t touch his music. His collaborations steal the spotlight from the get-go, with the second track ‘Farewell’ merging the sounds of SÉE, ESKA, Elliott Power, Keaton Henson, Liela Moss, Mïnk, Dhani Harrison & Steven Young in a mecca six-minute gospel anthem. The track starts softly, harmonies melting into gentle piano melodies to create a serene tone.
The album quickly switches things up with ‘Looking For The Rain’, a much grittier track with subtle classical and dance undertones. The rest of the album is just as unpredictable, with ‘Cowboys or Indians’ testing the waters of alternative, and the lyrically led ‘Nowhere To Run/Bandits’ verging on the frontiers of rock.
The album’s namesake ‘The Road’ is a rollercoaster its own right. The track starts out slow, quickly building into a mesh of quick beats and staccato vocals, before breaking down again into what could almost be a ballad. It ends in a busy mess of layered vocals and drums, the chaos perfectly personifying its name.
The Road: Part 1 is a difficult album to get a grasp on. The constant flips in tone, genre, and speed are interesting from a musicology point-of-view, but the effect is much more of a mixtape than a record. The album is a crammed with talent – it might just take some convincing that it belongs together in this format.

Christopher Check continues his excellent series of audio lectures of interest and importance for Roman Catholics (see Henry VIII and the Anglican Schism, The Cristeros and the Martyrs of the Mexican Revolution, and Lepanto: The Battle that Saved the West, CDs available at www.angeluspress.org) with an installment on the Vendée, an inspiring episode during the French Revolution (1789-1799). This is the story of the heroic and brave peasants and nobles of a staunchly Catholic and royalist region of France who stood up for their faith and their king against the murdering hordes of revolutionaries who were seducing the world with the lies and cries of “Liberty, Equality, and Brotherhood!” In just over an hour, Check delivers a thorough overview of the direct cause of the rebellion, the French Revolution’s all-out assault on the Church throughout France, and introduces the listener to the major players on both sides of the conflict. This lecture would serve easily as the basis for a lively evening of conversation and education for any family or school.
The dominant theme woven throughout this lecture is the seemingly paradoxical Catholic notion of localism in temporal matters and adherence to Rome in matters of faith against the all-encompassing and all-consuming appetite of the modern state. Check cites one example in particular where the Vendée armies were improbably winning battle after battle against the government’s army and actually had Paris in their sights when they chose a different target. According to Napoleon, had the Catholic army marched on Paris, victory would have been theirs. To think how much differently (for the better) world history would have transpired had Paris been reclaimed by the Catholics!
Check’s riveting delivery draws in the listener with discussions of the unique topography of the region, stories of courageous men (and the women who prodded their men to courage!), and sadistic, genocidal reprisals by the revolutionary government, yet never gets bogged down with too many details, instead painting an impressionistic picture that will inspire even the most history-averse to learn more about this sad—and proud—time in the history of the Church. There have not been many occasions for Catholics to cheer military and political successes over the last few hundred years, and the rebellion of Catholic Vendée ends in terror and tragedy. Total war became the strategy of the revolutionary government’s army. Genocide ensued at a pace at which even the efficient guillotine could not keep up. The elderly, women, and children were not spared the fury of those who promised liberty and equality and brotherhood.
To those who think the sad history of the Vendée is ancient history, Check notes the legacy of the French Revolution’s total war strategy on General Sherman’s genocidal march through Georgia, the use of atomic bombs, and un-Christian calls for “unconditional surrender,” and warns us that, sooner or later, we may be called to “answer so sacred a call to arms.”

WR Reggie Wayne signs three-year deal to return to Colts
|03.13.12 at 9:58 pm ET|
Free agent wide receiver Reggie Wayne signed a three-year deal to stay in Indianapolis, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The 33-year-old Wayne, who has spent his entire 11-year career with the Colts, has caught 862 passes for 11,708 yards and 73 touchdowns.
His return is Indy is a curious move, given the fact that the bulk of the Colts’ offensive veterans — including quarterback Peyton Manning, running back Joseph Addai, tight end Dallas Clark and wide receiver Pierre Garcon — have already moved on from Indy, or are expected to move on sometime soon.

Alternative method for access control
Windows Server 2012 offers an alternative to current access control for files on directory or group level with a new, supplemental approach: Dynamic Access Control (DAC). DAC offers as an advancement of so called Claims Based Access Controls the possibility to rule access on files through classification more efficiently and more precisely.
One very interesting aspect of the DAC is that the classification information is saved with the file itself so that it is directly available for all applications including the operating system. This allows ruling access to all files safer and more precisely without additional effort. Up to now the protection of a file was related to the storage location, in the future this information is saved directly with the file. If the file is moved intentionally or accidentally into a less protected directory, the previous protection remains. As an additional advantage rules for the access can be defined for the first time enterprise-wide and independently from the structure of the file systems.
Examples for rules:
- Files, which are classified as „confidential level 2" are only accessible for the ADgroup „HighConfidential".
- Files, which are classified as belonging to the project „Phoenix" are only accessible for the ADgroup „project team Phoenix".
- This eliminates a great risk: When a file was saved in the wrong location all security mechanisms became ineffective. With the help of DAC and classification your files are always protected. DAC is for a good reason a euphoric welcomed trend in the field of information security.
Handling of existing files is the major obstacledg classification closes this gap: Due to the enterprise-wide, rule-based and automated classification of files – including all existing files – all files in an enterprise are immediately available for DAC. dg classification allows the enterprise-wide definition of classification rules and supports attribute-based as well as content-based classification.
- Advantages of Dynamic Access Control and classification with dg classification
- More efficiency: DAC allows for the first time ruling access rights efficiently on file level
- More security: DAC allows protecting files independently of the storage location
- More compliance: DAC allows allocating enterprise-wide access rights very precise
- Less effort: DAC allows classification of the entire existing database

“So…” The foundation of That Awkward Moment’s title could just as easily be the beginning of our review. It refers to the moment when the question “so… where is this going?”, or some variation therein, is asked. For Jason (Zac Efron), that’s the moment to bail out, lest he become emotionally attached to any of the women he keeps on his horny speed dial. For us, it’s answered in the first five seconds of the film, as Jason sits freezing in a park and whisks us back in time via voiceover. That Awkward Moment isn’t designed to surprise – although in a way it does, because the promising, youthful cast should really have had more sense than to sign on to a script this dry and uncomfortable. Our “So…” question is more why is this going.
Jason’s best friends – and, it seems, only friends, a peculiar situation the film only addresses when it needs something to wound Jason – are Daniel (Miles Teller), his partner at the publishing firm where they design book covers, and Mikey (Michael B. Jordan), a doctor who married out of college and is given the crushing news that his wife Vera (Jessica Lucas) has been having an affair and wants a divorce. In an act of bro solidarity, Jason and Daniel vow to join their devastated friend in a year of being single.
Within days, of course, Daniel’s platonic friendship with his wing woman Chelsea (Mackenzie Davis) turns sexual, and Jason meets Ellie (Imogen Poots), a bright, effervescent writer who he has an instant rapport with. When he lets her into the “den of testosterone” to hang with his friends, they know it’s not Jason’s usual fling, but he holds steadfast to his vow – not knowing that Daniel and Chelsea are getting serious, and that Vera and Mikey might be on the road to recovering their relationship.
The dynamic between Daniel and Chelsea might be the film’s most disappointing, if only for the vague promise squandered. Vain hopes that a platonic friendship between two young adults might be maintained as such, but after a few brief scenes establishing that connection, the script forces them into a relationship shift so awkward that Daniel literally has no answer to Chelsea’s question about why he’s turned up at her apartment in the middle of the night. Davis, a smart, sharp comedienne who impressed in recent indies Smashed and Breathe In, thankfully keeps her character alert and caustic throughout, and Teller is a jovial presence himself, but their relationship never really makes emotional sense.
It becomes apparent why when Daniel’s big moment is crashed – quite literally – because Jason needs his to stand alone as the grand climax of the film. Efron, Teller and Jordan have been promoting the film as a trio, but the emotional bond between them, which sparks well enough on screen, is negated by the pay checks shoving Efron front and centre. Jason is a lothario, but Efron seems confident that his handsome face negates any potential smarm; his meeting with Ellie comes as he ‘rescues’ her from an insistent admirer with some spontaneous role play.
They’re perfect for each other, we’re meant to instantly sigh, and for a while, their easy rapport works well, but the illogical commitment to his bro code means Jason soon ends up a heartless idiot, because writer-director Tom Gormican uses a wholly inappropriate plot point to separate the couple. Poots, like Davis, does her best to keep her character bright and engaging, but is weighed down by tiresome moments like angrily confronting Jason through a veiled conversation in a business meeting, and ultimately doesn’t have much of a character to play.
That Awkward Moment isn’t a character comedy, even though it seems that it’s being sold that way. Even Daniel and Mikey are reduced to rather sketchy supporting characters, sidelined in what should be a third their story. Once the film gives up trying to make the audience laugh – which happens about half way through – and becomes mired in overdramatic dilemmas that don’t exist for realistic people, it becomes worthless, because there isn’t any drama to sell, and even proven actors like Jordan and Poots can’t make much out of it. It’s more a series of awkward moments when such a talented cast end up in such dull filmmaking.

This is our monthly recap of recent NYC news you might have missed during the last few weeks. As usual, our list is heavy on real estate and gentrification, food, shopping, plus other tidbits. We identify our sources, too. No spins, no leaks, no lies, no fake news here.
How Low Can You Go – The NYPD reports major crime in NYC is the lowest since the 1950s. The number of murders in New York City this year is still on track to land below 300, along with substantial drops in felony assaults, burglaries, robberies and car thefts. According to the NYPD, there have been 284 homicides in the five boroughs this year through Christmas Eve, compared with 329 for the same period in 2016. That’s a 13.7 percent decrease, and a far cry from the early ’90s, when the city suffered through more than 2,000 murders a year. (New York Post)
Goodbye, Trump – Say hello to The Dominick, the independent hotel formerly known as the Trump SoHo New York, under new management not named Trump. As the only Five-Diamond property in New York City’s SoHo neighborhood, the 46-story, 391-room hotel offers both luxury accommodations and sweeping views of Manhattan and the Hudson River, along with a world-class spa, outdoor pool, three food and beverage venues, and banquet and event space, The Dominick, at 246 Spring St., joins only two other premier hotels in New York City that have been accepted into membership of Preferred Hotels & Resorts’ prestigious Legend Collection.
Just Do It – Niketown has decided to run away from its lease with the Trump-owned building on 57th St. between Fifth and Madison and do a marathon sprint to a new location a few blocks downtown on Fifth Avenue. The decision to bail, with five years left on the lease, may or may not have anyting to do with politics, but it does have everything to do with foot traffic,, which has been hampered by Niketown’s proximity to Trump Tower. (Crain’s)
- The Niketown location used to be the location of Bonwit Teller, the high-end department store Trump tore down in 1980, during construction of Trump Tower, which adjoins the site. It was a controversial tear-down, since Trump destroyed the widely-regarded Art Deco facade. Read the New York Times “obituary” of Bonwit Teller.
Artless – The Lincoln Plaza Cinemas, a temple of the art house movie scene in New York for 30 years, is at the end of its lease and is scheduled to close in January. It’s just the latest death in the art house movie theater family. Boo to the landlord, Milstein Properties, which is now free to turn this basement space in a high-rise residential building into a gym or speakeasy, or something more suitable to the neighborhood. But what’s more suitable in Lincoln Center than an art house movie theater? (Deadline Hollywood)
No More Charity – Donald J. Trump’s charitable foundation is shutting down, in the wake of a lawsuit by the NYState Attorney-General. The Charities Division watchdog division accuses the foundation of violating a rule against “self-dealing”, which bars nonprofit leaders from funneling their charity’s money to themselves, their businesses or their families. However, the foundation cannot legally dissolve until the A-G finishes the investigation (NBC News)
No More Food Carts -As one of her last gasps before leaving office, City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito was unable to push through legislation to increase the number of permits for sidewalk cooking carts by 600 over the next seven years. Despite being an excellent job source for immigrants, and a launch pad for budding entrepeneurs, sources said a lobbying campaign by Mayor Bill de Blasio’s office, the restaurant industry, the Real Estate Board of New York and numerous business improvement districts persuaded a majority of the Committee on Consumer Affairs to oppose the legislation. (Crain’s)
Sun Power – NYC has signed a contract with Progress Solar Solutions to replace 530 diesel-powered light towers with solar-electric ones. The mobile equipment is used to illuminate events and aid law enforcement. The newer towers are supposed to have zero emissions, as well as be easier to use and quieter. (NY Daily News)

Welcome to Fort Morgan, where Alabama summers are relaxing, fun, and adventurous! The peacefulness of Fort Morgan comes from being a local beach town that doesn’t operate with the same bustling nature you’d find in a larger, more commercial city. The pace is what you set for yourself, the options of things to do plentiful and diverse. It’s the perfect place for a holiday getaway, especially with one of our Fort Morgan vacation homes. Fort Morgan is a small beach town that packs all the punch of other, much larger historical coastal cities. With excellent local history, incredible views of the peninsula, wonderful sunsets, and plush white sands, Fort Morgan is the peaceful vacation spot you’ve been looking for.
Adventures in Fort Morgan isn’t just sandy beaches. The Fort Morgan Trail stretches eleven miles on flat, walkable land. The trail is also great for bikers. The woods that line the path are a coastal blend of roots and forest with sand and the scent of salt on the breeze coming from the ocean nearby. It’s a relaxing way to spend the day away from the sweltering beach. Take cover from the Alabama sun under the canopy of trees that hang over the stretch of the trail, granting just enough sunshine to feel the day, but enough shade to escape it.
Fort Morgan is often voted one of the best places in the Gulf Shores to watch a sunset. The brilliance of the setting oranges and pinks, fusing with the various shades of the sun’s many colors as it sinks into the horizon, is a spectacular sight to behold. The sunset casts gleaming light over the once emerald waters of the Fort Morgan beaches. It shines completely and for all to see, painting the serene town with the most incredible colors as the day comes to its end. It’s a perfect way to round out a day in Fort Morgan. There’s no better way to experience all this town in Alabama has to offer than when viewing it at both ends–daylight and its end.
July is the peak of the summer season, especially here in Alabama, and what’s great about the Poole and Associates rentals is that they are on the water. Equipped with accessible access to the beach, the rentals are not far from the water. There’s nothing more inconvenient than walking a distance under the hot sun and carrying all of your beach belongings, especially after the beach day is done. Wet, sandy, and tired, when you rent with Poole and Associates, you’ll just be a small distance from your rental. For your convenience, there is also a pool if the salt of the ocean becomes too much.
Poole and Associates rentals are spacious and open. With plenty of room for the whole party, no one will feel cramped. Each rental is equipped with a fully functioning kitchen so you can make your favorite meals or try some new recipes while you’re on vacation. The floorplans are open, so while someone’s at the stove, they won’t feel left out of any living room conversation or whatever is on the television.
Historical Fort Morgan
What better way to celebrate the Fourth of July–a holiday dedicated to the history of the United States’ freedom–than to spend time with the past? Fort Morgan Historic Site, located at 110 AI-180, is a 19th-century military fort. This incredible remnant was active in four wars: the Civil War, the Spanish-American War, and both World Wars. Fort Morgan has local significance, too. The Fort played a pivotal role in the Battle of Mobile Bay in 1864. When you visit Fort Morgan, you’ll see the brilliance of the Fort’s strategic seacoast defenses. If walls could talk, imagine the stories the walls of Fort Morgan could tell. Now, that doesn’t have to be a hard thing to imagine. So come down to Fort Morgan and let this site tell you for itself its story. After seeing the Fort, head to the museum for more history, then the gift shop to take some of it home with you.
The best part of visiting Fort Morgan? Everything you visit at the historic site will be covered under the cost of admission! Adults enter for $8 a person; senior citizens and children enter for $5.
Come Enjoy Adventures in Fort Morgan
Fort Morgan can’t wait to welcome you for the Fourth of July holiday and the others after that. This hidden gem of a town roars with teeming excitement and history that speaks so loudly it seeps into the spaces around it and imbues itself into the culture of the town. There’s nothing quite like visiting a small town with a big heart and an even bigger role of importance to the United States. Fort Morgan is the place to be this Fourth of July.


Apple has removed applications, from its China specific iTunes store, that are even remotely related to or are about the exiled Buddhist leader Dalai Lama.
Some of the apps removed from the iTunes store were Dalai Quotes, Dalai Lama Quotes and Dalai Lama Prayerwheel that display inspirational quotes and teachings of the great Buddhist monk.
Another app, called Paging Dalai Lama, which showed the place where the Lama was currently preaching and the Nobel Laureates app which showed information on Nobel Prize winners along with that of Dalai Lama, have been removed.
The removal of the apps indicates the extent to which global companies are willing modify their services in order to do business with China. The Chinese authorities incidentally have labeled Dalai Lama as a "dangerous splittist" who wants to split Tibet from China and have also referred to him as a "devil with a human face".
Apple has now joined the ranks of Yahoo and Google who have complied to the whims and wishes of the Chinese government regarding sensitive political issues.
Yahoo had also faced severe criticism when it had provided the Chinese government with journalist Shi Tao’s private email records which had resulted in a 10 year prison term for the journalist.
Is it surprising? Certainly not. Western businesses have learnt how to do business with the leaders of the world's most populous country even if that means ignoring basic human rights. That said it is quite sad that this is happening to Apple. Steve Jobs is a Zen Buddhist and a vegetarian.

Title of the project: PR Support for Chekhoff Hotel Moscow Curio Collection by Hilton
Date for the implementation of the project: 2019 – present
Provided services: Package "Continuous PR Support"
Description of the project:
Elegant design, aristocratic atmosphere and rich cultural heritage – all this is reflected in Russia's first representative of the unique collection of hotels Curio Collection by Hilton, the new five-star Chekhoff Hotel Moscow.
Located in the heart of the business and cultural life of the capital, on Malaya Dmitrovka street, the Chekhoff Hotel Moscow will appeal to even the most pretentious travelers. The concept of the new hotel reflects the main features of the Russian character – sincerity and hospitality. Opening panoramic windows along the entire lobby, the hotel seems to merge with the city and invites to the atmosphere of home comfort.
The first Curio Collection by Hilton in Russia became a client of SEA Company just a few months before the official opening. During this period, a PR strategy was formed, a marketing platform was prepared, along with marketing tools and a budget for the first calendar year. The opening of the hotel from its first days was widely covered in the media. The authoritative glossy magazine in the field of architecture and design held a business breakfast for its Italian partners, dubbing the hotel «Theatrical». The hotel is being regularly visited by journalists from all over the world, by representatives of travel and lifestyle media, as well as gastronomic critics. Thus, in first 4 months after opening, the hotel entered the list of favorites recommended by Louis Vuitton City Guide. Work on increasing awareness of the hotel is carried out on a daily basis, what has a positive impact on the hotel occupancy from the first weeks after opening.


The coronavirus has highlighted the need to bridge the advice gap in Australia, according to the head of one of Australia’s largest wealth managers.
The coronavirus outbreak has led to an increase in sequencing risk – when an investor experiences poor performance at “precisely the wrong time in (their) investment time frame”, leading to a massive impact on their ability to retire, according to AMP chief executive Francesco De Ferrari.
“At this point, if I am 60, I’m facing some pretty difficult individual options,” Mr De Ferrari told business and media.
“I either need to work for many more years to bridge the gap, or on average I need to consider a quality of life that’s 25 per cent lower than I had planned. When we plan for retirement, we need to take control of our investments and we need to make some tough, rational decisions. And it is precisely in these moments that we need to have access to professional advice.”
According to Mr De Ferrari, the advice gap is bad and getting worse. One in two adults – around 10 million people – have unmet advice needs, while last year only 12 per cent of Australians received financial advice. And the number of people seeking advice is increasing as the outbreak continues to wreak havoc in financial markets.
“Inquiries in our call centres and to our financial advisers are the highest they’ve ever been as clients in this difficult situation look for advice and direction,” Mr De Ferrari said.
Societies that want “to be fair and care for all people” must ensure that financial advice is available to everybody, he says.
“When we come through the worst, we must use this crisis as a catalyst to address the critical issues, such as the big advice gap we have in this country,” Mr De Ferrari said.
“It’s an issue we must get right for everybody, and not just for the wealthy.”
Managed accounts are key to ensuring the sustainability of an advice practice, experts have said.
Insignia believes advisers should be issued a practicing certificate by a centralised body.
The corporate regulator has put out a call, advising any person who is concerned they have received financial services from, or invested with, Ashley ...
