Microsoft makes the right moves to tighten privacy policy

With so many concerns about the use of customer data, be it through what is collected by a carrier and sold, or aggregated through use of services the way Google does across its uniform policy, it is quite refreshing to see Microsoft respond to these concerns with some fairly notable action.

Congressman Edward Markey (D-Mass), co-chair of the Congressional Bipartisan Privacy Caucus sent a letter to Microsoft CEO Steven Ballmer expressing concerns about Microsoft?s recently implemented privacy policy. By recent, we mean going into effect this past Friday. Rep. Markey cited concerns in the Microsoft Services Agreement verbiage that gave the appearance that Microsoft would leverage user data gathered within services such as email, instant messaging and search to deliver targeted advertising despite previous statements by Microsoft that the company would not adopt such a practice.

These concerns were raised by the Congressman after an article was published in the New York Times on October 19th which cited the new policy going into effect with Microsoft, and contrasted the harsh reaction many had to Google?s similar privacy policy.

Obviously looking to avoid any backlash with two major media events planned in the coming days, Microsoft released a statement to ensure that its intentions were clear. It also responded to Rep. Markey?s admonition to consider an opt-in standard regarding the collection of data.

To that end, Microsoft also took the step to make the ?do not track? option in Internet Explorer the default setting in the browser, even though it was not part of the Services Agreement. Score one for Microsoft.

John Cena to face the WWE Universe?s questions on Hell in a Cell Pre-Show

Newly implicated in the ?AJ scandal? that forced Ms. Lee to resign as Raw?s General Manager Monday, John Cena will face questions asked directly by the WWE Universe during the live WWE Hell in a Cell Pre-Show Sunday. Fans will be able to submit questions via Twitter, Tout and Facebook, using the hashtag #CenaPreShow.

The Pre-Show ? which will stream live on WWE.com, Facebook.com/WWE and YouTube.com/WWE starting at 7:30 p.m. ET/4:30 p.m. PT ? will mark Cena?s first appearance before the WWE Universe since ?the AJ scandal? became public. Questions need not be limited to the embattled now-former GM, though.

AJ resigned as Raw?s GM hours after being called into an impromptu meeting with the WWE Board of Directors Monday. In resigning, AJ left a post that she held since July 23. Her temporary successor, Managing Supervisor Vickie Guerrero, later accused AJ of having an affair with a Superstar, and WWE cameras caught AJ informing Cena that he was the alleged Superstar. (READ: The AJ Scandal: Did AJ have an affair?)

Cena has outright denied claims of an affair, saying only that he and AJ had a ?business meeting? the week before. AJ has concurred with his account.

However, on Sunday, before the WWE Hell in a Cell pay-per-view, the WWE Universe will get its chance to ask the hard questions of the Cenation leader.?What will happen when the 12-time World Champion, who was already engulfed in a volatile rivalry with WWE Champion CM Punk before the ?AJ scandal? broke, faces the scrutiny of the WWE Universe?

Don?t miss out on this high-stakes event, when it streams live Sunday, beginning at 7:30 p.m. ET/4:30 p.m. PT. (HOW TO WATCH WWE HELL IN A CELL)

Grant funds new fitness equipment for Baton Rouge schools ? Our ...

By Tina Dirmann
staff writer for BCBS Louisiana Foundation

Physical education teacher Bonnie Richardson doesn?t just care about her students health.

The topic moves her to tears.

On a sunny fall day, as she gathered with her students on the Baton Rouge FLAIM school playground to break-in newly installed fitness equipment, she spoke of how the playground additions will impact kids.

??This will open up an opportunity for our students to be stronger,? said the teacher, carefully watching students struggle up a pole and wrestle with their first pull-ups.

Understanding that school PE activities are often the only time her kids get real exercise, the impassioned teacher tears-up. She knows her students are already battling issues formerly seen in only older adults, including high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity.

?But those problems have not only permeated her campus.

They are a growing epidemic on elementary school campuses serving lower-income neighborhoods. And it?s the reason the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Foundation of Louisiana (through their Challenge for a Healthier Louisiana grant program) partnered with the Mayor?s Healthy City Initiative in Baton Rouge to create Fresh Beginnings, a $2.2 million project aimed at improving health and fitness needs in the community.

?And a top priority for Fresh Beginnings is to target physical education programs in North Baton Rouge schools, offering new equipment, training programs and nutritional education.
Fresh Beginnings also partnered with Project Fit America to implement the new physical fitness programs. Although Fit America is a national charity, this is the first time the group will be in Louisiana, teaching Baton Rouge school children fun, innovative fitness games and programs. Even the teachers must undergo training, said Steve Cox, national in-service director for Project Fit America, who was in town with Project Fit Trainer Kim Berg on Oct. 15-16. The pair spent time with students and teachers at four schools (BRFLAIM, Buchanan Elementary, Winbourne Elementary and Ryan Elementary).

?We are just starting to understand that kids who grow up unfit, stay unfit,? Cox said. ?Today, obese kids are developing diseases folks used to die of in their 60?s and 70?s. But the pendulum is swinging, as a society. We see this now and we?ve got to work to change it. Our kids deserve better.?

At Buchanan Elementary, Berg brought new three pound weighted hoola hoops and basketballs and ordered kids to run from workout station to workout station using the equipment to earn pieces of a skeleton puzzle. they couldn?t stop running, shooting, hoola-hooping until the puzzle was complete. And in the process, she threw out a few fitness terms, like, ?Hey, who knows what your core is??

?This is not just about exercise, but what each exercise addresses,? she said, emphasizing that their program isn?t just P.E. ? it is Physical Eduation, in the truest sense of the term.
The school visits and equipment donations are just the beginning of a three year program that will eventually go beyond school campuses and into the surrounding community. Look for Mobile Markets to crop up soon ? rotating grocery stores aimed at providing access to fresh fruits and vegetables in neighborhoods void of farmer?s markets or full service grocery stores.
Learning more about the Fresh Beginnings initiative, BR FLAIM school principal Cheryl Miller nodded in approval.

?These are all ground up initiatives, and we are the ground,? she said, nodding toward her school. ?Louisiana has been at the bottom of the obesity scale for too long. But if our kids see we think it?s important to be healthy, that we are serious about this, then it will stick. We will teach them life long skills.?

NICOSIA, Cyprus ? Cyprus champion AEL Limassol says former Porto defender and Portugal international Jorge Costa is the new coach.

The 41-year-old Costa's career success and ambitious outlook will be a boon for AEL, says club spokesman Ploutis Avraam.

Avraam says the "needed" coaching change bodes well for AEL since Costa is a known quantity to the team, in which most of the players are Portuguese.

Costa takes over from Cypriot Pambos Charalambous, who last year guided AEL to the Cypriot championship after a 44-year dry spell.

Costa doesn't have time to settle in on Wednesday, a day before AEL faces Turkey's Fenerbahce at home in a Europa League Group C match.

Fenerbahce and Marseille lead the group with four points each. AEL and Borussia Monchengladbach have one point each.

Explosion at arms factory rocks Sudan's capital

KHARTOUM, Sudan (AP) ? A powerful explosion at a military factory rocked Sudan's capital before dawn Wednesday, sending detonating ammunition flying through the air and causing panic, the official news agency and local media reports said.

Officials said there were no reports of deaths, although some residents had suffered from smoke inhalation. They did not say what caused the blast.

Thick black smoke covered the sky covered the sky over the Yarmouk Military Industrial Complex in southern Khartoum. Sudan's media reported that nearby buildings were damaged by the blast, their roofs blown off and their windows shattered.

Defense Minister Gen. Abdul Rahim Mohamed Hussein and senior officials visited the site of the explosion and held an emergency meeting with top army generals while security forces sealed off the area surrounding the complex and halted traffic.

Khartoum governor Abdul-Rahman Khedr told SUNA agency that no one died in the explosion. He said the fire was under control and an investigation into the cause is under way.

In 2009, a convoy carrying weapons in northeastern Sudan was targeted from the air, killing dozens. It was widely believed that Israel carried out the attack on weapons shipment headed for Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip. Israel never confirmed or denied that. Sudanese parliamentarians denied that weapons were transported in the area.

In 1998, the United States cruise missiles bombed a Khartoum pharmaceutical factory suspected of links to al-Qaida in the aftermath of the terror group's bombings of U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania that killed 224 people.

Sudan has been a major hub for al-Qaida militants and a transit for weapon smugglers and African migrant traffickers.

Dutch court rules that Samsung didn't infringe on Apple multi-touch patent

Once again, a decision has been made on an Apple versus Samsung patent dispute. This time, it's a Dutch court in the Hague, ruling that Samsung does not infringe on a Cupertino patent relating to certain multi-touch commands that the Korean firm implements in some of its Galaxy phones and tablets. This isn't the first time that the Netherlands-based court has found in favor of Samsung, and Apple had already lost a preliminary injunction on this same patent last year. Reuters also reports that the Hague court's decision comes in the same week that the International Trade Commission is expected to decide about further patent disputes between the two firms, which went in favor of Apple the last time around. At the very least, this long and bumpy ride isn't over yet.

Mood Mate: Great Mental Health App, Could We Get One Like It ...

Sometimes the time for an app has just come.

Launched on World Mental Health Day?on October 10, a new mental health app already has?more than 1,500 downloads and a #3 ranking among free Health & Fitness apps?and, lest we forget, a mention on Twitter by none other than Alistair Campbell, Tony Blair?s former spokesman who now campaigns on mental health.

It?s got the properly British name of Mood Mate, as the application comes out of the University of Reading, where researchers are studying whether an iOS app could, as they write, ?help people with low mood and anxiety to find and seek local treatment.?

And after all my beefs about mental health apps not being backed up by research (see ?We Know There?s an App For That?But Often Research Lags Behind Mobile Mental Health App?Claims?),?this app continues the research even as it is being utilized.

Alex Gyani, a researcher at the University of Reading Department of Psychology, devised a way for people to use an app?and for research data to be gleaned from it at the same time.

Mr Gyani said: ?Having a randomised [forgive the spelling; he's a Brit] controlled trial built into an app that is available on the iTunes store is a fantastic way to conduct research ? and the more participants we can recruit, the more we will learn.?That?s why an app is such a great way to conduct a trial like this one.?

He continues, ?We hope it will enable us to find new ways to help people suffering from mental health problems in the UK get the psychological treatments that have been shown to work.?

So users of the app become subjects when they download it. People are only eligible to be part of the study?although given the number of downloads, seems like people who are not officially part of the study find the app useful, as well?if they?re suffering from anxiety or low mood.

The study is structured so that two-thirds of those who download the app are asked to monitor their moods for 30 days and are given information about where to find local services where they can receive mental health help, without going through a GP, the equivalent of a primary care physician.

In a really cool move, the treatments recommended are part of the National Health Service?s ?Improving Access to Psychological Therapies initiative, or IAPT, on which the government has spent ?400 million since 2007,?and are therefore free. [Can you see this happening in the States? Free medical care for mental health? Seems like that could be a big part of the holdup in getting a similar app here Stateside.]

The remaining third just get the information about where to find services without monitoring mood.

The point, you might ask? Researchers are trying to determine whether monitoring mood encourages people to seek out treatment.

You can find more about the app from its Tweets (handle @MindAboveMood), from its website, and from reading the reviews on iTunes?where you can purchase it, as well?for nothing down?if you happen to be British.

Mood Mate would certainly have to be tweaked to fit into an American approach to medicine (and lose the word ?mate,? as well, I?m sure)?but it doesn?t seem all that hard, if someone takes an interest. Well, maybe if you cut out that offering free services, too.

What an utterly unAmerican idea.

Preach it, Brother Hedgehog: Ron Jeremy goes to church?

?
Porno actor Ron Jeremy spoke at a church in Hudsonville, Michigan over the weekend to hundred of people who turned up for his talk, a double bill with California pastor Craig Gross, a minister who tries to help porn addicts.

The local NBC affiliate, WoodTV reported:

Jeremy, who was raised Jewish, spoke briefly about his life in the industry; admitting he still works and has been with more than 2,000 women. Throughout the years, however, he has had several personal experiences that have brought him closer to God; one of them was surviving a car wreck with the late pastor/comedian Sam Kinison.
?
?The car didn?t hit a single tree. It was a forest?[the car] missed every tree at 60 miles an hour upside down,? Jeremy said.

But Jeremy holds the belief that pornography and religion can co-exist.

?I don?t think the Lord above has a problem with consenting adults, having consenting romance, for consenting adults to watch. Period. But again the whole sex outside marriage, The Bible has got a problem with that and that?s where me and most of the people here are never going to agree on that,? Jeremy said.

He added, ?The vast majority of porn stars believe in God.?

Jeremy also played piano and harmonica for attendees.

Ham Hock Stock and Homemade Split Pea Soup. - Something Edible

Abstract:

Ok, when was the last time you had a brimming, hot bowl of split pea soup? Alright, now everyone that gets their split pea soup from a can please put your hand down. Wow, not many left huh? Well, that's a shame because homemade split pea soup is a real treat. It's not at all difficult to prepare; but cooking the right ingredients the right way swaps out "just ok" for descriptors like "hearty," satisfying," and "fantastic". The way I do split pea soup means starting with a slow cooker stock based on smoky pork hocks originating from locally-raised pork. Fresh veggies sweat in butter and herbs make for the kind of savory foundation where a half pound of dry legumes can't help but end up being tasty.

Purpose:

For me soup is a little bit like jazz. It's made a little different every time; and while a recipe, like sheet music is sufficient to carry the tune, a recipe doesn't really shine until a guy puts down his notes and starts to wing it. So while this isn't exactly the first time I've made this recipe, it is the first time I've made this recipe in this specific fashion, so you'll have to forgive me if you were looking for a bit more predictability (anyhow, we had a proper beta recipe last week, people).

Much like potato soup, a lot of what makes split pea soup work so well hinges on said soup's consistency. The best way to hose up a soup is to throw it all in the pot, turn up the burner, and cross your fingers. I know there are Crock Pot recipes for s.p.s.; and I've got nothing against slow cooker soup. However, for this here soup, I really don't dig a straight slow cooker method and that "cruise-control cooking". Dried legumes on thier own can be overwhelmingly earthy and as they begin to break down in the simmer, they have the potential to really muddy up a soup. To remedy this problem, we need to add flavors in layers and at different times to ensure that ingredients retain their identity, so that eyes and tastebuds alike can enjoy and understand what's going on in every spoonful.

Recipe: Jump to the detailed recipe. (or, keep reading for the gist of it) -

Ham Hock Stock

5 cups water

1 1/2 lbs smoked pork hocks

1 yellow onion Medium-sized; quartered.

2 carrots Cut into 2 inch chunks.

1 celery stalks Cut into 2 inch chunks (tops and all).

The Soup Proper

2 Tbsps butter

1 onion Make it a big one; minced.

2 carrots Halved and sliced 1/8 inch thick.

2 celery stalks Minced (again, I'd rock the tops too).

2 cloves garlic Minced.

1 tsp salt

1/4 tsp sage

1/4 tsp thyme

1/4 tsp black pepper

1/8 tsp cayenne

4 cups ham stock

1/2 lb dried split peas (Usually about half a bag.) Rinsed.

meat from the rendered pork hock Half inch dice

1/4 cup sour cream

2 tsps Balsamic vinegar

For the Stock-
Add the water and the hocks to an appropriately-sized slow cooker. Set the heat to low, cove, and let it go for 6 hours. Add onion, carrots, and celery and continue cooking on low for 2 more hours. At the end of the slow cook, reserve the pork hocks and strain the rest to separate the worn-out veggies (discard 'em). Cool to room temperature and refrigerate the stock until you're ready to make soup (or move directly on to the next step if you can't wait).

For the Soup-
Into a 4 quart pot over medium heat, melt the butter and add the onion, carrots, celery, garlic, salt, thyme, sage, black pepper, and cayenne. Sweat for 10 minutes stirring occassionally to prevent any burning. When the onion gets translucent, and the carrots start to get tender , add the ham stock and the dried, rinsed split peas. Still over medium heat, bring the proto-soup just to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 30-35 minutes or until peas are just tender.

Ladle out 2 cups worth of soup and blend the reserved soup until smooth. Stir the blended soup back into the pot. Dice up the pork hocks reserved from the stock-making and add that to the soup along with the sour cream and Balsamic vinegar to finish.

Observation:

?

• If the stock method seems a bit familiar here, that's cuz it's exactly the way I make slow cooker turkey stock (if it ain't broke, don't fix it).
• In most cases, my carrot eating hound gets a treat more to her liking when I make stock. Along with all that prize gelatin, Animal protein tends to give up all its flavor for the stock cause, and all that's left is better off left as dog fodder. However, in the case of smoked pork hocks, what's been stewed into oblivion has even more to give. The 8ish hour hot soak makes that impossibly tough cut of hog manageable; and what's more, the meat still tastes like something you'd wanna eat. Waste not, want not people.
• Oh you hoity-toity food folks and your fancy gadgets: Who the hell has a stick blender? Well if you consider yourself a soup person, this question is a bit rhetorical. Soup is all about texture and there's no better way to control the texture of a soup than by a bit of blending. Reserve two cups of soup and hit it with the stick until it's smooth. One caveat here: Make sure any blendage is done before you add the pork bits back to the mix (that'd be nasty).
• Besides the obvious addition of salt, soups that are "missing something" lack the brightness that comes from the addition of something acidic. A splash of vinegar will do wonders for a soup; and in this instance, we're also using sour cream for an extra bit of richness as well. The next time you're tempted to add more salt to a soup, you might wanna see what dinking with the pH a bit first before serving will get ya.

?

Results:

If I was gonna pick just one soup to eat for the rest of my life, split pea soup would likely be in my top three choices. Soup is very much a textural affair for me, and because we judiciously blended we have balance; not real soupy, but not a thick, chunky mess either. Likewise, because we used stock to start, we've got plenty of body without having to go overboard with the dairy.

If you had to boil it down, I divide my soups into two camps: Stock based-soups, and everything else. Stock-based soups come together pretty quickly if you don't include that extra preliminary step of making stock. Stock-making takes the better part of a business day, but there's nothing to say that you have to do this all in one fail swoop either. Do your stock on a day where you have time to mind the crock pot for those few crucial hours near the end of the cook and you'll have the basis for a bowl of perfectly-seasoned legume and hog goodness later in the week when dinner needs to happen with relative quickness.

Gallery:

It's real easy: If the guy processing your hog asks you if you want the hocks smoked, you say "yes."

The trick to great stock is to add your veggies at the very end. On an eight hour cook, the aromatics only need to be present for the last couple of hours.

A sweat of carrots, celery, and onions. Yup; that's a mirepoix.

I'm not much for geophagia, so I make sure to rinse my split peas before adding them to the soup.

No need for extra thickeners, all your soup needs can be released by blending 2 cups of reserved soup (who knew?).

With the consistency corrected, the diced bits of ham hock are added back to the soup. Grab me a bowl.

Four Films and Composers Selected for 2012 Sundance Institute ...

Sundance Institute has announced the four documentary film projects and composers that have been paired together for the tenth Composers + Documentary Lab, October 26 through November 1 at Sundance Resort in Sundance, Utah. The Lab is a joint initiative of the Institute?s Documentary Film Program and Fund (DFP) and Film Music Program.

Built upon the Sundance Institute Lab model launched in 1981 by Robert Redford, Fellows participate in an unique residential retreat focused on the role of music and sound design in documentary film. Four composers along with four documentary projects from a pool of over 100 active DFP-supported films were selected. Each composer is paired with a filmmaker to compose and record original music for a section of the work-in-progress film. A team of award-winning filmmakers and composers participate as Advisors and work with Sundance Institute staff to guide the process and also screen and discuss their work. Advisors for the 2012 Lab are filmmakers Rob Epstein (Howl, Celluloid Closet), Vivien Hillgrove (In the Matter of Cha Jung Hee) and DFP Director Cara Mertes, as well as music editor Adam Smalley and composers Todd Boekelheide (Blessed is the Match), Miriam Cutler and Film Music Program Director Peter Golub (Wordplay, These Amazing Shadows).

Cara Mertes, Director of the DFP, said, ?This Lab is unique in the world; through it we have seen the escalation of the use of original composition in cinematic documentary. During the week, we focus on familiarizing outstanding documentary directors with the potential of original music in their films. The composers commonly have established musical careers but have not composed for film, and documentary storytelling is uniquely suited to benefit from the attributes of an inspired musical score and soundscape.?

Peter Golub, Director of the Film Music Program, said, ?Composers for documentaries face unique challenges yet there are few opportunities for them to work with documentarians and focus specifically on overcoming those obstacles. The Composers + Documentary Lab provides valuable hands-on experience composing for documentary film. More than that, we hope it creates working relationships that will have practical applications throughout these artists? careers.?

The four films and composers selected for the 2012 Sundance Institute Composers + Documentary Lab are:

Report: Super PAC, House ad spending nearly on par

WASHINGTON (AP) ? Outside political groups are spending nearly the same as congressional campaigns themselves in about two dozen competitive elections this year.

A study released Monday finds super PACs and other independent groups dropped about $24.8 million on ads affecting the 25 most-competitive House races. That's compared with about $24.9 million that the candidates' own campaigns have spent on the airwaves.

New York University's Brennan Center for Justice finds the phenomenon affects both Democrats and Republicans. It also finds Democratic candidates are more often reliant on donors who give in smaller amounts.

Super PACs are flourishing this election thanks to loosened rules that allow them to raise and spend unlimited sums of cash. Those groups and other nonprofits are driving the presidential election alone to cost about $2 billion.
