The ars viva Prize has been awarded annually since 1953 to young artists living in Germany whose work stands out for its innovative potential and high artistic quality. The recipients of this year's prize are Jan Paul Evers, Leon Kahane, and Jumana Manna.
In the work of Jan Paul Evers, both preexisting and original motifs serve as the basis for black-and-white photographs made using a combination of digital and analog processes. The images have a visual effect that transcends the boundary between painting and photography, while reflecting on the reproducibility of the medium itself. In his videos, photographs, and installations, Leon Kahane addresses economic migration and the construction of territorial borders. The politics of his images takes in medial upheaval and global developments. In her video and sculptural work, Jumana Manna develops narratives that can be read as "possible histories." These histories, along with archaeological discoveries, interrogate the concept of national cultural heritage.

The BBC is one of several outlets carrying the bizarre story of a Brazilian doctor arrested for allegedly defrauding her employer, a hospital in the town of Ferraz de Vasconcelos, near São Paulo. At the time of her arrest, she was equipped with a total of sixteen fingers—ten of which God gave her, and six of which were crafted of silicone and given to her by coworkers. At least three of the extra fingers bore the prints of fellow doctors at the hospital.
The doctor, Thaune Nunes Ferreira, 29, claims through her attorney that she was forced to use the silicone fingers to clock in to the hospital's time card system in order to cover for absentee colleagues. "She says she was innocent because it is a condition they imposed on her to keep her job," the attorney notes.
According to the Bangkok Post and several other sources, Brazil's Globo TV International network obtained and played footage of Ferreira clocking in to the hospital with her own permanently attached digits, then touching the same fingerprint scanner with two of the silicone fakes. The scanner produced paper time card receipts for her and the two employees to whom the silicone fingers' prints belonged. In this way, notes the Post, "it looked like there were three doctors on duty when there was just one."
Five doctors at the hospital have been suspended so far for allegedly taking part in the scam, which let them pocket pay while not showing up for work. However, this is endemic of a much larger "ghost employee" problem in Ferraz de Vasconcelos. The mayor speculated that there are at least 300 more public employees in the town spread across health, education, and security who are engaged in similar time card fraud. The members of this "army of ghosts," as the mayor calls it, are all receiving pay without showing up for work.
It is not stated whether the army of ghosts employs an army of silicone fingers to clock in for them, but that would definitely be creepy.

Ripon Cathedral Choir School forced to shut
Local merger plan fails to save North Yorkshire school
After plans to merge with a local preparatory school fell through, Ripon Cathedral Choir School has been forced to close.
Founded in 1960, the North Yorkshire private school had been sold to a property developer in an attempt to rid its debts of £600,000. Despite discussions of a merger with the nearby Cundall Manor School (near Thirsk), governors of Cundall Manor abandoned the possibility of an arrangement after seeing the accounts of Ripon School (reputed to be losing £40, 000 a month).
'It is a great shame,' says Sir Thomas Ingilby, the chair of governors at Cundall Manor, 'as everybody could see the potential benefits of the merger and hoped for a positive outcome.'
The pupils at Ripon School have been offered places on their current fee levels at Queen Ethelberga's College in York, an independent school 12 miles away.
The Ripon crisis is being echoed across the country, with other choir schools facing similar issues as the recession causes problems for fee-paying families. The similarly small Tewkesbury Abbey Choir School closed in 2006, after struggling to make ends meet. Luckily, Dean Close School in Cheltenham (11 miles away) stepped in, taking over the role of the choir school and adjusting its timetables in order to cater for the needs of the choristers.
Ever since, the Abbey's boys' choir, the Tewkesbury Schola Cantorum, has thrived, with its treble Laurence Kilsby winning the BBC Chorister of the Year competition in 2009.

A lobster dinner is a much-anticipated part of the Maine experience for vacationers. When touring by automobile became popular, small roadside eateries lured travelers with lobster holding tanks, outdoor cookers, a few picnic tables, and a "lobster pound" sign. Diners could choose their lobster, watch it being cooked, learn how to pick it apart, and enjoy a finger-licking feast within sight of the sea.
The Lobster Pound Restaurant in Lincolnville Beach began in 1926 as a shanty with an outdoor cooker. Indoor dining became an option about 1940. The restaurant closed during World War II but has operated continuously since reopening in the late 1940s. At the back of the parking lot in the photo is the Lobster Trap Gift Shop, a true "tourist trap." It sold souvenirs in a disguised quonset hut until it was washed out to sea in 1985 by Hurricane Gloria. When the restaurant was rebuilt after a fire in the 1980s, the lobster tanks and cooking equipment were moved indoors. The Lobster Pound still serves lobster purchased from Lincolnville fishermen whose boats are just outside the restaurant windows.

The consensus among the righties that I follow on Twitter is that it was a push, with Romney acing his answer on the economy and underperforming when he finally took on The One on Libya. Better that than vice versa, though: As Ben Domenech said, only one of those is an issue that people will vote on.
There were several key exchanges — the staredown on energy, Romney politely distancing himself from Bush — but I'm giving you the economy and Libya answers below, via the Examiner and Daily Caller, respectively. Romney seemed unprepared for the pushback from Obama and his pal Candy on what he said about "acts of terror" in the Rose Garden on September 12; The One now wants us to believe that he was forthright about calling it a terrorist attack all along, when in fact he was so coy and evasive that Jay Carney had to clarify his view for the press more than two weeks later. Romney didn't chase him on that or on all the other nonsense in the aftermath — blaming a "spontaneous protest" when even the earliest intel suggested a terror attack, running ads in Pakistan groveling over a private citizen's insult to Mohammed, the snowballing revelations about just how indifferent State was to Chris Stevens's security, etc. O even got to play the part of the indignant C-in-C, declaring how offended he was that anyone would accuse him of playing politics with this issue when, in fact, he's been playing politics with it since day one. And of course, just as I expected, he finally took meaningless symbolic responsibility for the Benghazi security failure now that Hillary had covered his ass by taking responsibility herself last night.
The good news? Mitt gets another crack at the Libya attack in the next debate, which will focus exclusively on foreign policy. He'll be very well prepared, rest assured. And since most of the media's coverage tomorrow will focus on the Libya exchange tonight, that issue will continue to get plenty of coverage for the rest of the week. I can live with that. Exit quotation from Ben Smith: "Romney did, again, come away looking like a guy who could be president, which is probably the most important thing." Yep.
Update: Here's something else I can live with:
BREAKING: CBS NEWS INSTANT POLL Who won debate? OBAMA: 37%; ROMNEY: 30%, TIE: 33% (Margin of Error: 4 pts.) http://t.co/ir9VstBX
— CBS News (@CBSNews) October 17, 2012
RT @CharlieKayeCBS: In the @CBSNews Instant Poll, 65% say Romney won on the issue of the economy. 34% say Obama won on the economy.
— CBS News (@CBSNews) October 17, 2012
I'd much, much rather have had Romney make a strong impression on the economy than "win" overall with barely more than a one-third plurality. If you think undecideds are going to go into the booth in November and think hard about jobs, then these are the numbers you want to see.
Update: Like I said up top:
After that generic reference to "acts of terror" in the Rose Garden — which was so generic that the media forgot all about it for weeks afterward — the White House strained very hard not to call this a terror attack. They desperately wanted it to be a protest that got out of hand, all thanks to that Mohammed movie. If it's a terror attack, then the administration has to explain why they didn't see it coming and why The Man Who Got Bin Laden somehow let his ambassador's compound be overrun by an Al Qaeda affiliate. Which narrative is better if you're running a reelection campaign?
Update: I didn't see it, but the word on Twitter is that Frank Luntz's focus group tonight on Fox was simply brutal to Obama.
Update: I'm hearing now that Anderson Cooper challenged Crowley's spin on the "acts of terror" comment on CNN's post-debate show. Jay Cost is right, as usual:
Update: Note to David Axelrod: You sure you want to spend another media cycle or three on Libya?
Update: Via the Washington Free Beacon, here's O conspicuously refusing to use the T-word to describe Benghazi — on September 25.
Update: NRO's Patrick Brennan on why Obama's "acts of terror" reference in the Rose Garden on September 12 wasn't really a reference to Benghazi:
His only mention of "terror":
"No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation, alter that character, or eclipse the light of the values that we stand for. Today we mourn four more Americans who represent the very best of the United States of America."
One could take that as a reference to acts which include the tragedy in Benghazi, obviously, but there was clearly no effort made to label it an act of terrorism. One reason why this might be: According to U.S. law, acts of terrorism are premeditated. The Obama administration's line for days following Obama's Rose Garden statement suggested that the attack wasn't premeditated.
Update: Via the Examiner, now she tells us:
Upwards of 60 million people likely watched her side with Obama on Libya during the debate. How many saw this clip on CNN's post-game show? One million, maybe?

Prisoner regretting his past has trouble seeing the future
Dear Abby: I'm a 50-year-old man who is serving time for robbery in West Virginia. Every day, I wake up acting as if I am in control and don't have a care in the world. The truth is, I'm scared, lonely and feel totally helpless. All my life I have lived on the dark side of the street, taking for granted the values in life and the love so many people tried to give me.
Two failed marriages and several relationships with good women are over because of my determination to follow an unhealthy dream, not to mention all the friends I have lost as well.
Now as I look around me, there's no one there. No one to love and no one to love me. I never knew until now that chasing that dream would cost me everyone I ever loved.
I know I have made bad choices in life. I deserve the time for the crime I committed. But am I also sentenced to a world of loneliness? Can I ever be loved again and be happy after all the wrong I have done? Is there someone out there who would be willing to give me a chance? Is it too late to start over?
Abby, you have so many answers for so many people, I am just hoping you have an answer for me.
— Serving Time
Dear Serving Time: It is never too late to start over. With penitence comes redemption.
If you are willing to journey down a different path, the relationships you form along the way will be rewarding, long-lasting and mutual.
Because of your criminal record, you may have to work harder to gain trust, but I promise you that if you're willing to work at it, it can be done.
Dear Abby: My ex-husband, the father of our two children, was retired from the Air Force. He passed away 18 years ago. He had a full military funeral, with draped flag and all. His wife at the time was presented with the flag, which was proper. They had no children.
When she passes on, would it be proper for her family to give the flag to his biological children? After all, they were with him — as was I — throughout his entire 22-year military career. When my daughter mentioned it to his wife, she got angry.
— C. in Texas
Dear C.: Your former husband's wife was entitled to whatever property was left after his demise. The flag is hers to bestow — or not.
I don't know how your daughter's request was phrased, but the woman may have been offended by the way the question was asked.
I can't think of any other reason she would become angry.
Dear Abby: I am writing regarding a letter you printed Jan. 26 from "Wants to Be Polite." I appreciate the person's sentiments because I, too, want to use good manners and a "You're welcome" or "Have a nice day" is a pleasing reply to hear.
What I do not like is a "No problem" reply to a "Thank you." It does not seem like a sincere response to me. In fact, it sounds like I was expected to be a problem and just happened not to be one. Any thoughts on this?
— Arkansas Lady
Dear Arkansas Lady: You may not like hearing it, but you had better get used to it. While "You're welcome" may be more gracious, saying "No problem" reflects a generational shift in the vernacular. And while it may seem jarring, it is intended to be a polite response, so accept it graciously.
Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, Calif. 90069.

Washington, DC
U.S. Sen. David Vitter (R-La.), top Republican on the Environment and Public Works Committee, made the following statement regarding President Obama's promise to "cut through the red tape, break through the bureaucratic hurdles, and make [Keystone XL pipeline] a priority, to go ahead and get it done" one year ago in Cushing, Oklahoma:
"What will it take for the President to follow through on his promise to the American people to make the Keystone XL pipeline happen?" Vitter asked. "The President has had a full year to 'cut through the red tape,' yet we're still waiting for action. We cannot keep the American people waiting for good-paying jobs and lower gas prices when it is reasonably within grasp."

The global modular construction market size is projected to grow from USD 82.3 billion in 2020 to USD 108.8 billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 5.75% from 2020 to 2025. The growth of this market is attributed to increase in concern towards work-zone safety, need for lower environmental impacts, and supportive government initiatives. Increase in population and rapid urbanization (translating to a large number of new construction projects) offer opportunities for the growth of the modular construction market. However, factors such as lack of awareness and volatility in transportation charges may inhibit the growth of the market.
To know about the assumptions considered for the study download the pdf brochure
In terms of value & volume, Permanent modular building is estimated to dominate the modular construction market in 2019.
Permanent modular buildings, by type, accounted for the largest market share in the modular construction market. Permanent modular construction saves time and labor which are required for construction, thereby reducing the construction cost significantly. It also offers high quality control in comparison to on-side construction. These factors drive the demand for this construction technique.
In terms of value and volume, steel is projected to be the fastest segment in the modular construction market
Steel, by material, is thefastest-growing segment for modular construction market from 2020 to 2025, in terms of value and volume. Steel frames are also lighter in comparison to other wall materials, which allows building structures created from them to be craned and transported into a place in a more efficient manner, resulting in less disturbance to the local area and reducing cost. It is also recyclable, and hence, buildings made from steel can be easily dismantled. It is one of the most popular materials for use in relocatable buildings used as commercial buildings, warehouses, and retail outlets.
Residential is estimated to be the largest segment in the modular construction market in 2019.
Residential, by end-use sector, accounted for the most significant demand for modular construction in 2019, in terms of value and volume. Modular construction can build residential building structures in about half the time as compared to conventional site-built construction methods. Countries are turning to the adoption of modular construction methods since it is eco-friendly and cost-effective due to the efficient in-factory processes and reduced waste.
The Europe region is projected to account for the largest share in the modular construction market
The Europe region is projected to lead the modular construction market, in terms of both value and volume from 2020 to 2025. Construction, one of the largest and most important manufacturing sectors in the region, is highly fragmented and consists of a significant number of large, medium-sized, and small construction companies. The construction players in the industry have adopted various technologies as a strategy to sustain the growing demand and competition. In Europe, high levels of cost inflation, labour shortages, numerous delays pushes the construction industry into a modern method of building and has a direct impact on the increased demand for modular construction. However, one of the main reasons for using modular technology is to speed up the delivery time compared to traditional on-site construction.
Laing O'Rourke (UK), Red Sea Housing (Saud I Arabia), Atco Ltd. (Canada), Skanska AB (Sweden), Kleusberg GmbH (Germany), and Katerra (US) are the key players operating in the modular construction market. Contract, New Projects, and Agreements are some of the significant strategies adopted by these key players to enhance their positions in the modular construction market.

In response to increasing civil unrest, the Egyptian government appears to have disabled almost all Internet connectivity with the rest of the world. The Internet's global routing table, which is used by Internet routers to determine where to send traffic, has had virtually every Egypt-bound route withdrawn, giving the Internet traffic no path either into or out of the country.
The routes were all withdrawn almost simultaneously last night, causing the country's Internet users to disappear over the space of about half an hour. The block appears to affect Egypt's four largest ISPs, responsible for most of the country's Internet connectivity: Link Egypt, Vodafone/Raya, Telecom Egypt, and Etisalat Misr.
Indications are that, at the time of writing, not every ISP has been taken offline. Noor Group, a smaller provider, still appears to have external connectivity, and limited sites including the Egyptian Stock Exchange appear to remain accessible. Whether this is by design or by accident is unknown. Connectivity through Egypt appears unaffected. A number of fiber-optic routes linking Europe to Asia go through Egypt, and they remain operational.
This move—the near-complete removal of a country's routes from routing tables and the resultant inaccessibility—seems quite unprecedented. Civil unrest in Tunisia earlier this year was met with limited censorship of certain sites, and similar unrest in Iran in 2009 resulted in substantial throttling (but not outright blocking) of Internet traffic. Egypt's response appears to be a great deal more heavy-handed.

THE EYES YOU CAN'T SEE (PART 2): How your cell phone could give hackers access to all your devices
Cyber experts say, despite your efforts to protect your devices and appliances from hackers, your phone could give them an open door.
Armstrong State Cyber Security Professor Scott Scheidt says that's because most cell phones don't have firewall protection.
He says hackers constantly search for a hole in your phone's security. To protect yourself, he recommends you:
1. Keep your phone's operating system up to date
2. Install a password or finger-swipe protected locking app
3. Close apps when you finish using them.
Scheidt says a phone connected to an unsecure, public WiFi modem is at even greater risk for a hack. He says public WiFi is fine for apps like Netflix and Hulu, but says you should never enter a password, credit card or social security card number while connected to public WiFi.
While most people secure their Home WiFi network, Scheidt says you should never let your phone connect to it. He says that could give hackers access to every other device on that network.
He recommends you either turn your phone's WiFi setting off when at home, or that you set up a separate WiFi option that only your phone connects to.

Cable TV show to feature BMW X3 factoryWed, 26 Oct 2011
The National Geographic Channel will feature the making of the BMW X3 crossover at the company's South Carolina plant as part of the Ultimate Factories series. The episode airs in November.
BMW announced a $750 million investment to expand its South Carolina operation in 2008. The factory would gain 1.5 million square feet to make way for X3 production, which began last September.
The redesigned X3 went on sale in the United States early this year and quickly became a top seller for BMW. Nearly 80,000 copies have sold around the globe so far in 2011.
A crew spent a couple weeks at the South Carolina factory this June filming content for the hour-long X3 documentary.
This marks the second time that Ultimate Factories has featured a vehicle produced at the South Carolina plant. The Z4 roadster was spotlighted in 2007, before the factory stopped production in 2008.
The plant currently manufactures the X3, X5 and X6 crossovers.

LAS VEGAS — Not so long ago, the UFC men's flyweight division was so thin and so boring that Dana White considered dropping the whole weight class.
A brilliant Brazilian champion nicknamed the "God of War" has changed everything for the smallest men on the UFC roster.
Deiveson Figueiredo stopped Alex Perez with a guillotine choke in the first round at UFC 255 on Saturday night, defending his men's 125-pound belt for the first time with another impressive stoppage.
Valentina Shevchenko defended the women's flyweight title with a surprisingly challenging unanimous decision over Jennifer Maia at the UFC Apex gym on the promotion's corporate campus in its hometown.
Figueiredo (20-1) earned his record-tying seventh stoppage victory in the 125-pound division by clamping onto Perez's neck out of a scramble at 1:57 in the opening round.
Perez (24-6) had nearly taken Figueiredo's back an instant before the champ finished the entertaining fight with the flair and skill that have made him a rising mixed martial arts star in the UFC's least popular weight class.
"I came in here with no pressure," Figueiredo said. "I know this is my belt. I know I'm going to be the champion for a long time. I came here to do what I told everybody I'm going to do. I said to everybody, 'I'm going to finish this fight in the first round.' And I finished the fight in the first round."
Figueiredo claimed his title earlier this year with his second consecutive victory over Joseph Benavidez, finally ascending to the peak of a UFC division with only two previous champions. Demetrious "Mighty Mouse" Johnson dominated the flyweight ranks for six years before Henry Cejudo dethroned him in 2018.
"I came here to knock out, to submit everybody," Figueiredo said. "I want to dominate this division. I want to give a good show for the people."
Figueiredo's exciting victory fits the plan for the UFC, which would love to spark public interest in the quiet flyweight division with a dominant title reign by Figueiredo, a former sushi chef and hairdresser's assistant from the mouth of the Amazon.
With 17 stoppages in his first 20 career victories, Figueiredo's ability to finish his fights is unusual in the flyweight division — and exactly what it needs to attract fans.
"He looked incredible tonight," White said. "He's fun to watch. He can knock you out. He can submit you. He's got that meanness to him. If you don't like this guy, stop watching fights. You need to find a new hobby if you don't like watching him."
Mindful of building a star while he's on the rise, White even said he wants Figueiredo to return to the cage next month against contender Brandon Moreno, likely at UFC 256 on Dec. 12. Figueiredo sounded open to the possibility for the right price.
"I think I'm going to destroy Brandon Moreno, but I want the boss to show the desire to see this fight," Figueiredo said.
Earlier, Shevchenko (20-3) earned her sixth consecutive victory as a UFC flyweight and her fourth title defense, but the dominant champ had to work much harder than almost everyone expected.
Maia (18-7-1), one of the biggest underdogs in UFC title fight history, stretched Shevchenko to the limit and even won the second round on all three cards against a champion who had barely been tested during her nearly three-year run at 125 pounds.
"She has a lot of natural power, but it doesn't mean that it was hard for me," said Shevchenko, who won 49-46 on all three cards. "It was just holding. There is no damage. There is no nothing. Just hold. I was like, 'OK, you want to hold? Whatever. I will strike you.'"
For most of the show's penultimate bout, Shevchenko eschewed her dominant kickboxing and counterpunching in favor of takedowns and ground fighting with Maia.
After Shevchenko dominated the first round on the ground, Maia largely controlled the second round, also on the ground — no small feat against Shevchenko, who had lost only one round on the judges' scorecards in her entire UFC career as a flyweight.
Shevchenko didn't feel she was in trouble, but she had entered the cage with extra motivation: Her older sister, Antonia, stopped Ariane Lipski with punches on the undercard.
"She did so amazing that my thought was, I have to do the same," Valentina said after they became the first sisters to compete on the same UFC card. "When I saw her victory, it was, OK, we have 1-0. Now we have to have 2-0. I didn't want to come back and feel bad because of me."
Shevchenko took down Maia twice in the third, and the champion picked apart Maia on their feet and on the ground in the fourth. Shevchenko bloodied Maia's face in the fifth round with strikes, but Maia survived to the final horn.
The 32-year-old Shevchenko has dominated the 125-pound division since December 2018, one year after the UFC created the belt. She hopes to fight four times in 2021.
Scotland's Paul Craig opened the pay-per-view portion of the show with a second-round stoppage of former light heavyweight champion Maurício "Shogun" Rua. White said afterward that he hopes Rua will retire.
Earlier, Moreno put himself in line for the next shot at the men's flyweight belt with a first-round stoppage of fellow top contender Brandon Royval.

IBM's former server chief, Robert Moffat, on Monday pleaded guilty to charges of conspiracy to commit securities fraud in a case connected to an insider-trading scandal.
Sentencing in the case has been scheduled for July 26. The conspiracy charge carries a potential penalty of five years in prison, while the insider-trading charge has a maximum of 25 years.
Moffat is the latest technology executive to plead guilty in a case involving illegal trades that generated millions of dollars in illicit profits. Ten others have already pleaded guilty in connection with the case, including Rajiv Goel, formerly Intel treasury's managing director of investments.
Moffat entered a guilty plea in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. Moffat was arrested and charged in October along with Goel and three Wall Street traders including Raj Rajaratnam, founder of Galleon Group and Danielle Chiesi, a portfolio manager at New York-based New Castle Funds.
Chiesi and Rajaratnam allegedly tapped into a network of high-ranking corporate executives and insiders, including Moffat, to obtain confidential details about quarterly earnings and takeover activity of companies like Intel, Google, Sun Microsystems, Akamai Technologies, Sprint Nextel and Advanced Micro Devices, according to a court document filed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in October. In the wake of the SEC investigation, the DOJ has taken over prosecution of the case.
Moffat last week waived his right for grand-jury indictment, and the DOJ filed a notice of intent to bring criminal charges in the case. Ten others involved in the case have already pleaded guilty for their involvement in the alleged scam.
Moffat, formerly senior vice president of IBM's Systems and Technology Group, allegedly leaked insider information about IBM considering acquiring Sun to Chiesi. Chiesi allegedly made trades on behalf of New Castle Funds based on the tips and generated about US$1 million in illegal profits.
Chiesi worked along with Rajaratnam, who raked in close to $25 million in illegal profits, according to prosecutors.
Moffat was placed on a leave of absence shortly after he was arrested in October. His leave became permanent soon after, and it wasn't clear if he resigned or was fired by IBM.

about the print
The print is produced from the digital file on an OCE Lightjet 500XL, which can print formats up to 300x180cm. The image is exposed on a piece of photographic paper directly from the digital file with a laser. In my opinion this is higher quality than any inkjet printer can produce. The print is then developed in a dark room the classic way.
Due to the high quality of the input file, it is possible to offer this image up to a format of 225x180cm (90x72in), and you will be able to approach the print very close until you start seeing the grain.
I am an urban photographer. My goal is to explore the largest and most dense cities on earth and capture their essence. I use an 8x10 large format camera which delivers exceptional image quality and allows me to print the images up to 90x72in with utmost detail. If they hang on your wall this size, mounted behind high quality plexiglass, it seems as if there is a window overlooking a metropolis.

It was the Sunday morning following Wire's tour-ending show at Chicago's Metro the night before, which drew radiant reviews from Sun-Times and Sound Opinions critic Jim DeRogatis and from the Tribune, similar to the likes of those that Barack Obama in his bulletproof case, Grant Park, an Indian summer of a night and the clear-headed American majority got last Tuesday. The legendary English punk band, from all accounts, had been as blissfully explosive and politically fascinating as ever before in its 32-year musical career, which has been the lesson plan for countless numbers of the new breed of post-punk bands who feel that they too can be edgy and insightful and educated, just like the originators – the three old men who remain their heroes and forefathers.Colin Newman, Graham Lewis and Robert Grey are the wizened players in one of London's most influential punk bands at a time when the city's punk scene was establishing itself as something grimier and filthier – with rage and youth but no rivet gun to send the points into the floor joists, making them stick like claws and arched doorways. What Newman, Lewis, Grey and then guitarist Bruce Gilbert made was an even odder kind of punk rock that was artful and could have been leather-bound though it would have shook itself right out of those constricting books and back out onto the streets. Really, for the working lads and the toiling people, Wire were and are still more for the poly-sci and mathematical brains than for the safety pins, the mosh pits and the mohawks. It's a pronounced difference that's driven home in all of the group's various works – that this was music that deserved introspection and investigation.It wasn't just music for the sake of making a statement and it wasn't just music for the sake of making millions. It was music that was its own testament and the songs that Wire wrote in the late 70s and early 80s don't have a stale bone in their bodies. They stack up still as if we're looking into the face of modernism, taut and gritty songs that cut to the quick and get serious before anyone's had a chance to take their coats off and shag a drink. It's not glamour music and it was never music meant to inspire an epidemic of likeminded individuals, and in some ways it didn't for a long time, leaving Wire as the lions at the top of the hill, able to roar and find the effects to be how they wished them to be. The guitar sounds and trickeries are hunting and prowling, searing and silvery, like metal apocalyptically grating across concrete and making a luscious industrial forest. The bass acted as the palpitations of an urgent heart, pounding the clothes away from the chest and Grey's drums are efficient, pounding and relentlessly moody.Even as these men have moved on in years, their relevancy has not wavered and in this session they demonstrate – along with touring auxiliary guitarist Margaret Fielder McGinnis – the everlasting vibrancy of their music. It has acquired no gray hairs and its ambitious exploration of atmospherics and sonic landscapes is as flashy as it always was, reflecting the short introduction made in the left-hand corner of the band's official website, stating that the band is still active and they still get together to experiment, which still leads to "confounding expectations." Confounding decades, confounding people and still chasing that angular muse no matter how many years it lasts is what Wire is at its utter core. It's watching Grey slip off his comfortable travel/every day shoes and into the hybrid of old school basketball/prehistoric skater/military shoes as he stoically readies himself to do his work behind the kit. It's seeing Newman scream into a microphone and thrash on a guitar and make it look like as thoughtful of a series of gestures as someone articulating the birth of their child and it's seeing Lewis, who looks like he's a man who takes his pancakes and eggs in black turtlenecks, coats and dapper black shoes and slacks and still would be the best person to ever take to a pub, live through his bass to know that there is no imitation.

Recently, I blogged about a PayPal Subscriptions project I was working on. This was a website where people could subscribe via PayPal for weekly religious lessons under one of three user categories. The previous post looked at the differences between the Web Site and Web Application Project models and what this meant when attempting to implement user profiles in conjunction with the membership system. Since I had previously created a few basic E-Commerce websites with regular Buy-Now buttons, I thought this would be a breeze... wrong :-|
As part of the project requirements, there would be separate, weekly messages displayed to the subscribers. The first message of a yearly subscription that would be displayed, would be tied to the original subscription date. No matter what kind of subscription system or periodical you are publishing, at some stage you will need to offer the correct issue number to a given subscriber. Since everyone will be subscribing at different times, this means keeping count! I decided to keep a tab of the week numbers. Bear in mind, that week calculations are done differently in different cultures and there is not a bug if you see week number 53!
using System.Globalization; CultureInfo cultInfo = CultureInfo.CurrentCulture; int weekNumNow = cultInfo.Calendar.GetWeekOfYear(DateTime.Now, cultInfo.DateTimeFormat.CalendarWeekRule, cultInfo.DateTimeFormat.FirstDayOfWeek);
For the task in hand, I used ASP.NET 2.0 and C# with VS 2005 and SQL Server 2005. It was built as a Web Application Project, which meant using the Web Profile Builder wrapper class to enable access to user profiles. I've heard of several people getting errors with this but it worked for me out of the box. I'm inclined to think that some may have overlooked a particular section of the documentation which I am going to repeat here:
"When your project has reloaded, you need to generate the web profile class and manually include it in your project. Use the solution explorer to do this. In the solution explorer, choose the "Show All Files" option and press the "Refresh" button two times. The first time will generate the profile class and WebProfileBuilder.user file. The second time will actually show the files now that they exist. To include the generated profile class, right-click on the generated profile class and choose "Include In Project". Now you will be able to write code against the profile class."
The rest is pretty straightforward:
public partial class MyClass : System.Web.UI.Page { private WebProfile Profile { get { return new WebProfile(Context.Profile); } } protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { string subscriberID = Profile.subscriberID; string subscriberGroup = Profile.subscriberGroup; } ... }
Of course, the glue that holds the entire application together is the IPN class. I had previously used the freely-available IPN class from XDev Software. Note that this class is designed for regular PayPal transactions. I had to customize it to handle PayPal subscriptions. All you really have to do is pare it down to handle only the subscription-related variables you are handling on the return handshake from PayPal. The following set of return variables worked for my particular scenario; you will set these as properties of your custom IPN class:
string txn_type; string business; string item_name; string payment_gross; string payment_status; string receiver_email; string payer_email; string pending_reason; string payment_date; string subscribe_id; string first_name; string last_name; string custom;
Here's an overview of a typical subscription Web application life-cycle: 1) User subscribes on your site and is directed to the PayPal site where they pay 2) Your IPN class handshakes with PayPal and grabs the values returned by PayPal 3) Your IPN class updates your application database and generates an email to the subscriber with a return URL to register on your site 4) Your IPN class generates an email (backup) to the merchant with the subscription data 5) The subscriber creates a user account on your site and you set up any extra member info you want to store in their profile
protected void Createuserwizard1_CreatingUser(object sender, EventArgs e) { WebProfile p = WebProfile.GetProfile(CreateUserWizard1.UserName, true); p.Initialize(CreateUserWizard1.UserName, true); p.subscriberID = ViewState["SubscriberID"].ToString(); p.subscriberGroup = ViewState["Group"].ToString(); p.Save(); }
Some Gotchas: Do not use a return URL from PayPal Do not mix IPN and PDT. IPN is all you need Do not forget the Save() method when creating the profile :-S

ASP.NET | PayPal
I recently posted a solution to the eternal PayPal / ASP.NET form submission problem using Jeremy Schneider's custom GhostForm class. Since then, several people have made mention of a problem that I came across myself when coding this, namely getting your project to recognize the reference to the new custom form class.
Using a Web Application Project in VS 2005, I recently came up against something similar when attempting to place the SqlHelper.cs class in the App_Code folder. At that time I offered a quick hack. Since then, I have thought better of using the App_Code folder in my Web Application Projects and just create a normal folder and put the helper class in there along with my data access class. The App-Code is more trouble than it is worth for a small project where there is practically zero compilation time to be saved anyway.
Back to the problem at hand... when attempting to compile, you may get the following error:
"The name 'mainForm' does not exist in the current context"
First, check your scopes; make sure that wherever you are using the mainForm object is in the same scope as the instantiation. Ideally, create a separate Class Library Project in your solution and add the custom form class to it. Compile your new project separately and reference that from your e-commerce project. Right-click the References folder in Solution Explorer and browse to the DLL for the custom form.
Add the following to your master page and ignore any red squigglies you get in Visual Studio:
<%@ Register TagPrefix="CF" Namespace="CustomForm" Assembly="CustomForm" %> <body> <CF:GhostForm id="mainForm" runat="server"> ... </body>
Add markup to the ASPX for the dummy PayPal button and a functioning ASP.NET button:
<img src="https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_xpressCheckout.gif"> <asp:Button ID="checkoutBtn" runat="server" OnClick="CheckButton_Click" Text="Checkout" Width="100" CausesValidation="false" />
using CustomForm; namespace MyProject { public partial class purchase : System.Web.UI.Page { protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { ... // Workaround for PayPal form problem GhostForm mainForm = new GhostForm(); mainForm.RenderFormTag = false; } ... } ... }
Although specific to my own project requirements, here's the complete handler code for the button click:
protected void CheckButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { // Live PayPal URL // const string SERVER_URL = "https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr"; // Sandbox PayPal URL const string SERVER_URL = "https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr"; // Live business parameter // const string BUSINESS = "firstname.lastname@example.com"; // Sandbox business parameter const string BUSINESS = "email@example.com"; // Return URL for IPN processing const string NOTIFY_URL = "http://www.mysite.com/PayPalReturnURL.aspx"; decimal totalAmount = 0.00M; int productID = 0; int totalUnits = 0; decimal totalShipping = 0.00M; string paypalURL = ""; string itemName = "Grace\'s Guitars"; string itemNumber = ""; if (cart.Count > 0) { BizClass biz = new BizClass(); // TransactionID will be later used to check against IPN info string transID = Guid.NewGuid().ToString(); // Create a new Order in DB orderID = biz.AddOrder(out orderID, transID, false, DateTime.Now); itemNumber = Convert.ToString(orderID); foreach (ShoppingCartItem item in cart) { totalAmount += item.Total; totalUnits += item.Units; productID += item.ProductID; // Store order details in database biz.AddOrderDetails(orderID, productID, item.Units); } // Eventually, use a SQL Server job to remove unconfirmed orders // Calculate total shipping cost for total number of units totalShipping = CalculateShipping(totalUnits); // Get back the URL-encoded URL for PayPal paypalURL = GetPayPalURL(SERVER_URL, BUSINESS, itemName, itemNumber, totalAmount, totalShipping, NOTIFY_URL); Response.Redirect(paypalURL, true); } }
You need to sign into your PayPal Developer account before submitting your test purchases. You will be able to see a history of your test transactions in the sandbox admin section.
If you want some sample code for constructing the URL, I suggest you check out the following whitepaper from Rick Strahl. This should be enough to see you up and running. Many times, people get compiler errors due to badly-formed namespace declarations and class references. Always double-check your code :-)

ASP.NET | E-Commerce | PayPal
I recently started work on my first website to integrate with PayPal. The client needed it done relatively quickly. What started out for me as a mental picture of a products Web form with a "Buy Now" button, somehow turned into a full-blown e-commerce application complete with custom shopping cart. Talk about feature creep! And most of it was my own fault because I failed to anticipate the minimal requirements for the job. I'm still in the thick of it and have just implemented an admin back-end for the merchant to add products, complete with images, to the database. Then, I had to create an HttpHandler to stream the images...
They do say it's the simple things that get you stumped. For all of you ASP.NET developers out there who have yet to integrate a site with PayPal, just wait until you finally get to add that button to your form to pass the transaction details over to PayPal... In short, it won't work! The button HTML from the PayPal site is embedded in a form tag. You can only have one form on an ASP.NET page and ASP.NET provides its own. If you have a master page, then the form tag is in there and it is applied to every page in the site when they are merged with the master at runtime.
PayPal support does not offer a practical solution. They may try to get you to download their ASP.NET SDK which is 1.1 and uses Web Services. Most people have failed to get it to work with 2.0. Then they may tell you to put the form tag "outside" the main tag or on a separate HTML page, etc. I have seen endless hacks, most of which were too stupid to even consider; IFrames anyone?!!
I trudged through the forums and saw that ASP.NET developers have been asking how to get around this for the last three years or so. PayPal refuses to acknowledge the problem and seem more inclined to offer support for the PHP community. There is something radically wrong with this mindset from a business point of view. Can PayPal not afford to pay some contractors to go in and develop an ASP.NET 2.0 SDK that will work with both NVP and Web Services? Nothing like speed to kill. Then PayPal had the temerity to invite me to complete a survey on how good I found their support service...
So I turned to Google. I spent days concocting search strings that would bring that elusive nugget I needed to solve the problem. I thought I had found it when I came across the nested master page hack - keep the outer master page stripped of any form tag and then just use it for the page with the PayPal button. It would probably work, but if you don't get a code smell from that one, you may need to get your sinuses reamed out. The search continued. You know you're desperate when you start entering your grannie's middle name in the search query string :-O
Persistence finally paid off. I found an elegant solution on Jeremy Schneider's blog that consists of a custom HtmlForm class that can have the form tag rendering toggled on and off. The class is called GhostForm and has a property, RenderFormTag. When RenderFormTag is set to false, it doesn't render the opening or closing tags, but does render all of the contents. Reference the custom GhostForm class and in the code-behind of the form on which you are placing the button, place the following in the Page_Load to disable the master page form tag:
public partial class Products : System.Web.UI.Page { protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { GhostForm mainForm = new GhostForm(); mainForm.RenderFormTag = false; ..... } // Send your data to PayPal :-) ..... }

Actor Christopher Jones Dies at 72
Actor Christopher Jones, who abruptly quit working Hollywood in the 1960s after starring in Ryan's Daughter and ABC's The Legend of Jesse James, died Friday in California of complications from cancer, his partner Paule McKenna told The Hollywood Reporter. He was 72.
Born William Frank Jones in Jackson, Tenn., Jones grew up an orphan after his mother was committed to a mental hospital. He later changed his name to Christopher and moved to New York to pursue acting, starring in The Night of the Iguana on Broadway in the early 1960s. After relocating to Hollywood, Jones was cast in the title role on ABC's The Legend of Jesse James, which aired for one season from 1965 to 1966.

Jones married Susan Strasberg, the daughter of Actors Studio founder Lee Strasberg, in 1965 and the two co-starred in 1967's Chubasco. They divorced in 1968.
Some of McKenna's more notable roles include Wild in the Streets (1968), The Looking Glass War (1969) and Ryan's Daughter (1970).
In a 2007 interview, Jones said he gave up acting in 1969 because he was having an affair with actress Sharon Tate, the wife of Roman Polanski, and was devastated when she was murdered by followers of Charles Manson, THRreports. His only film credit after that is in 1996's Mad Dog Time, though he was approached by Quentin Tarantino to star in 1994's Pulp Fiction and declined. In more recent years he focused on art and sculpting.
Jones is survived by McKenna and seven children.

I really shouldn't be writing a How-To Guide on dating, seeing as the man I'm dating I met on Twitter, and our first 30 days together in person have been 30 days on a road-trip to nowhere.
I don't recommend this for everyone. Unless you want your first child to be a carplant that you name Howard and like waking up with no idea what city you'll be sleeping (or showering) in that night. I happen to want this a lot, but I understand that I'm "special."
But seriously. I believe that truths come over time, and they are to be learned in all places in all things.
And I've realized in the last 24 hours that I can tell you exactly how to land yourself a good man and a good relationship:
You let God do it.
You can't follow steps 1-10 and waltz through a neat little structure of dating rules, and find yourself in love. But you can cling whole heartedly to truth and fight for what you desire most.
My inbox is yet again full of girls and women who are asking me for relationship advice, and wrestling through some of the most both painful and apathy-ridden scenarios I could stage for you. And every single time I feel under-equipped and hypocritical in all of my answers.
But, in my mind, the years of confusion, frustration, high highs and low lows that I went through happened in order to put truth and empathy in my heart and hands. And I'll be damned if I waste all that pain and exasperation.
So, here goes.
1. Stop telling me that there are no good men left. What you're really saying is, "I know he's out there, but I can't find him, and I'm tired of being lonely." And about half of you are using that as a free pass to being less of the woman you could be, because you don't have a good man in your life. I know you're doing this because I've done it too. Stop saying this, and you'll find him. There are exceptions to everything, but it's much easier to find a good man when you're not swearing against them all.
2. You don't have to choose between What You Want and What You Need. If you are dating who you want but not who you need, you've either bought into the no-strings-attached ticking time bomb, or you've traded what you're worth for immediate satisfaction. And if you are dating who you need but not what you want, chances are you don't actually know what you need. Because what you need is a man who is everything you need AND want.
3. Give it back to God. I've always hated when people told me this. For me, giving a relationship to God always meant breaking up with a guy. Usually, this is an easy way for someone in the church to guilt you into singleness solely to get you to put a stop to the "ultimate sin": having sex. Or it's an easy way for someone to pat a desperate single woman on the head and say, "Well, God just has to fix a few things first in your life before he can bring you the perfect man." No. What I mean is that your future marriage will fail and fail hard if you don't put it in God's hands, so you're much better off learning how to keep your heart and someone else's in God's hand while you're still dating. Or still single. This isn't about changing things, it's about deciding to want what God wants and believing with your body, mind and soul that what he wants is good. The exact kind of good that you want more than anything else in the world. Your God is pro-relationship. He wants that for you.
5. Everyone is allowed a no-strings-attached period of time. No. This is a lie. And it will wreck you. I would have given a limb for someone to walk up to me on the street at a very specific point in my life and just say, "no strings attached is a lie." Sex can either build or destroy - and it will do one or the other, not both. If you are sleeping with a man who is everything you want but not everything you need - or the other way around - get out. You're destroying yourself from the inside out. No more justification, logic, thought, giving-it-more time, excuses, or trying-to-work-it-out. Close your eyes and rip off the band-aid. Today.
6. You're single because God is still fixing you. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that you're single because the timing just isn't right. For him, or for you, or for one of any 238520 possible life variables. I dislike this statement because it implies that you are more broken than you should be. And if you're on year three, seven, or ten of being single, this is devastating to believe. I've noticed that it begins to create brokenness that isn't actually there, "because it must be." The truth is that everyone is broken. And you don't need "fixing." You just need God, and the life he's already got planned for you. And God has a life-altering, fireworks-on-display, crazy-love plan for you -- which will come precisely when he wants it to.
7. I can save him. (Or I can fix him. Or he'll change.) Thanks to Max, I can end this entire discussion with his words on the subject: "You must run at the same pace. Otherwise, you will either slow the other down, or be slowed down." Life is too short. Date someone who is running at the same pace as you, or it will end up being very detrimental to someone's life. Also, don't pardon stuff like this. Yes, people can change, but you don't want to be the one responsible for making it happen. Plus, I'm a woman, and I really just don't feel like training a man. Not my job.
8. If he's not crazy about you, it's not going to work. I'm not married, and you could probably find some sub-par, dispassionate men that will get you 30 years of commitment and a wedding band, but after reading dozens and dozens of submissions to the Good Women Project, and investing some serious time speaking with married women this year, I'm pretty confident in my statement. My previous relationships back this up statement up too. Besides, when it comes down to it, do you really have what you want right now? Date a man who is crazy about you. Puh-lease.

Fourteen-year-old Monroeville, Ala., teenager Christian Quarles is the first state resident to receive the Boston Scientific S-ICD® System, the world's first and only commercially available subcutaneous implantable defibrillator for the treatment of patients at risk for sudden cardiac arrest.
The device was successfully implanted at the University of Alabama at Birmingham Hospital Dec. 23, 2013, by Takumi Yamada, M.D., an electrophysiologist in UAB's School of Medicine.
Sudden cardiac arrest is an abrupt loss of heart function often resulting in death. Most episodes are caused by the rapid and/or chaotic activity of the heart known as ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation. Christian was not known to be at increased risk of sudden cardiac arrest but experienced it in December. He was taken to the emergency room at a Florida hospital and underwent resuscitation. Physicians in the emergency department thought the teenager had died, but he was revived.
Quarles was transferred to UAB Hospital, where pediatric electrophysiology cardiologist Yung Lau, M.D., determined that he needed an implantable defibrillator to provide immediate treatment.
UAB is the first hospital in Alabama to implant the Boston Scientific S-ICDSystem, which is designed to provide the same protection from sudden cardiac arrest as traditional implantable defibrillators. However, the entirety of the S-ICD System sits just below the skin without the need for thin, insulated wires — known as leads — to be placed through blood vessels into the heart itself. This leaves the heart and blood vessels untouched, providing an exciting new solution for physicians and patients.
"The S-ICD is unique because cardiologists don't have to pass wires into the heart to deliver treatment," said Yung Lau, M.D., UAB pediatric electrophysiologist. "Those leads are often the weak link in defibrillator therapy. They have been known to fracture, dislodge from the heart, and experience other problems that can result in a loss of therapy or to unnecessary shocks. Lead failure can be a particularly important problem in our pediatric population."
Approximately 6,000 of these S-ICD systems have been implanted in the United States, with 5 percent of those going to pediatric patients.
"This S-ICD System's lead runs from the device, just under the skin, to an area near the breast bone," Yamada said. "It delivers a life-saving jolt, similar to that of an external defibrillator, if the heart goes into a dangerous rhythm."
Christian has reported no problems with the implant and returned to school in January. His parents, Kenya and Christopher Quarles, are proud to point out that he made the A-B honor roll.
Most importantly, Christian is alive.
"What happened to Christian in December — that was the scariest moment of my life," said Kenya Quarles, a certified nursing assistant. "I see it in the field I work in, but to go through it personally at home was rough. I'm just so thankful for the physicians and staff at UAB. They explained everything to us so well and provided Christian the best care you could imagine. His heart is pumping right, and Christian is alive. My baby is a miracle."

Selling an idea or a product entails studying the mind of your target market. This may seem intimidating at first, but it actually is quite easy to do, even for busy entrepreneurs like you. You don't even need a degree in psychology to understand the workings of a consumer's mind, and to use such knowledge to your advantage.
Post that Photo!
There had been many studies made that validate the importance of pleasing photos in influencing positive consumer decisions. One such study pertains to consumers being influenced in their choice of beverage. The research made by Winkielman, Berridge, and Wilbarger (2005) exposed the respondents to two groups of pictures, one being positive while the other being negative, before presenting them the beverage choices available and their corresponding prices. Results showed that consumers who have been exposed to pleasing, positive images purchased and drank more beverage compared to the other group.
This particular research proved and implicated so many truths about consumer behaviour. However, there is one thing that must be noted by Internet marketers like you: positive, pleasing images do influence consumers to spend more. For this reason, it's only wise to include photos or images in every article you feature on your site. A gallery of images relevant to your product is also quite necessary to make your website attractive.
Getting the right photos is never a problem with the abundance of royalty free images on the web. If you don't already know, royalty free images are photos or other forms of graphic representation that are being sold with a one-time fee for an unlimited number of uses. Royalty free images are affordable, costing as low as a dollar per photo. Some photographers or artists even offer a gallery or folder of photos for a very affordable price.
Sites like iStockphoto.com and photodune.com offer high-resolution images that come at an affordable cost. The best thing about purchasing images online is the fact that it's easy to edit the images. And if you don't know how to retouch a photo, all you have to do is download free Photoshop retouching videos and you'll be an expert in no time.
Apart from purchasing royalty free images online, Internet entrepreneurs may also buy royalty free images from artists who sell the photos in hard copy or printout forms.
What's Your Color?
Another strategy to use in improving the overall appearance of your web page or website is the use of colors. This method is also founded on psychology, as certain colors are believed to influence consumer decisions. Since shoppers or consumers regard the visual appearance and color as their primary gauge in purchasing a product, it's only logical for you to value the importance of colors, too.
These five (5) colors and their corresponding meanings will surely make you do some changes on your choice of hues in designing your web page or website:
- Yellow. This color is used to grab the attention of busy shoppers, those who just browse and skim over the web. This color implies optimism and youthfulness.
- Red. This color is used to depict a sense of urgency in consumers. Most often used when advertising bargain or clearance sales, this color is said to increase the heart rate as well as the energy of people.
- Pink. This color is often used to market products for women. A romantic color, pink implies the sweet innocence and beauty of women, especially the young.
- Orange. This color is used to influence consumers to immediate action. Known as an aggressive hue, orange creates the sense of immediate resolve to buy a product or subscribe to a particular service.
- Blue. This color is used by advertisers to create the sense of trust. Often seen on banks and businesses, blue represents financial stability and security.
Using pleasing images and using the right colors to enhance your webpage, website or web article is necessary for you to be able to deepen the interest of your target market, as well as to influence them in making a positive action such as to make a purchase or to sign up for a subscription.

By Jenifer Fenton, reporting for CNN from Abu Dhabi, UAE
In the summer of 2001, Fayiz Mohammed Ahmed Al Kandari, the eldest son of a large family, left Kuwait to travel to Afghanistan. His stated purpose was to do charitable work, assisting with the reconstruction of two wells and the repair of a mosque.
His trip was for the sake of his mother who had cancer so there would be "more blessings from God on her behalf," according to a member of the Al Kandari family. He had traveled to Afghanistan before on charitable work in 1997 - and to Bosnia in 1994.
But this visit would end up with a much longer and unintended journey - to Guantanamo Bay in Cuba. Nearly 10 years later, Al Kandari remains incarcerated at the U.S. detention facility. And his case illustrates the difficulties of establishing who may have had links with al Qaeda and similar groups in the chaotic aftermath of 9/11, the strength of evidence against them, and whether they might remain or become a threat today if freed from detention.
Kuwait is an important U.S. ally in the Gulf: During the first Gulf War in the early 1990s, the U.S. led the counteroffensive that pushed Saddam Hussein's invading Iraqi forces out of Kuwait, and Kuwait allowed U.S. troops to enter Iraq from its territory during the 2003 invasion.
According to his passport Al Kandari left Kuwait at the end of June 2001. He traveled to Pakistan, where he stayed for two months and then he traveled on to Afghanistan, according to legal transcripts.
Lt. Col. Barry Wingard is defending Al Kandari before the military commission that is hearing his case at Guantanamo Bay. He says that after the 9/11 attacks, Al Kandari remembers leaflets falling all around him. On the leaflet there was a picture of an Afghan man, who was holding a bag of money. The leaflet read, "You turn in your Arabs and we will give you money."
Local Afghan officials advised Al Kandari to leave, according to Wingard. But in October 2001, he was captured by the Northern Alliance - along with many other Arabs - and "sold" to U.S. forces in Afghanistan, Wingard said.
Prosecutors say the story about Al Kandari's charitable work is not true. Al Kandari is accused of giving material support to terrorism and conspiracy to materially support terrorism.
A September 2004 Combatant Status Review Board said: "The detainee (Al Kandari) recruited personnel to participate in jihad in Afghanistan ... traveled into Afghanistan and received weapons training at the Khaldan training camp. Osama bin Laden personally provided religious instruction and trainee (sic) at this camp." The Board concluded Al Kandari was a member of al Qaeda and "the detainee was in the Tora Bora mountain region in October or November 2001."
Al Kandari, now 36, has always denied the accusations. According to legal transcripts, he said: "I looked at all the unclassified accusations; I was laughing so hard."
He said he'd been accused of fighting with the Taliban and al Qaeda and that he'd spent most of his time in Afghanistan alongside Osama bin Laden.
"All this happened in a period of three months ... I ask, 'Are these accusations against Faiz or against Superman?' It seems to me that whoever wrote these accusations he must (have) been drinking and he must have been drunk when he wrote it."
Moazzam Begg, a British Muslim who was also held at Guantanamo, says Al Kandari was taken to an American detention center in Kandahar. Begg told CNN he remembered Al Kandari from Kandahar because the Americans would bring him from cell to cell to collect trash.
Begg says others in the detention center told him Al Kandari was knowledgeable about Islamic issues. Begg was transferred to Bagram Air Force Base and then to Guantanamo and says he never saw Al Kandari again. But he says he never heard another detainee say anything about Al Kandari being associated with known terrorists or terrorists activities.
Al Kandari's friends and relatives also insist he never had any affiliation with terrorist organizations, according to legal documents. Despite years of interrogations, Al Kandari has maintained his innocence, Wingard said.
Al Kandari is only allowed a phone call to his family every several months. His mother, Fatima Yusuf, is still alive, 10 years after Al Kandari left for Afghanistan.
"I have lost my son for years and I am longing for him," she wrote in testimony for her son. Al Kandari "used to divide his daily pocket expenses into two halves, one for him and he used to distribute the other half to the poor. Sometimes, he spent his whole pocket expenses to the needy, without withholding anything for him."
Presently, Al Kandari is not making the calls to his family because he has been locked in solitary confinement for going on a hunger strike after his personal belongings, including his mail, was taken, according to his Wingard, his lawyer.
Al Kandari is one of two remaining Kuwaiti detainees. Ten Kuwaiti detainees have been released from Guantanamo.
At its peak, Guantanamo held at least 779 men. But over the years some 600 men have been sent to their country of origin or to a country willing to take them. There are now fewer than 200 held at the facility. Some are likely to be released, but in March, U.S. President Barack Obama signed an executive order that allows for "indefinite detention" with periodic reviews for dozens of detainees. The Obama administration also announced that military commission trials against other detainees will resume. President Obama had previously signed an executive order in 2009 promising to close the detention facility within a year.
Al Kandari, his lawyers believe, is likely to be indefinitely detained. "Forty-eight unfortunate souls in Guantanamo Bay will never get a trial, will be presumed guilty and will die in Guantanamo without ever having stepped into a courtroom," Wingard said. Al Kandari has an appeal before the Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, but David Cynamon, the lead attorney for the Kuwaiti detainees at Guantanamo Bay Prison, believes that the court is a "black hole" for the detainees.
Earlier this year, the U.S. Supreme Court rejected an appeal from another Kuwaiti - Fawzi Al Odah - challenging his indefinite detention. Al Odah, who Cynamon represents, also claims he was traveling to the Pakistan-Afghanistan region in 2001 to teach and for charity work.
According to Al Odah's combatant status review board in 2004, Al Odah was associated with al Qaeda and the Taliban. Additionally, "The detainee admits carrying an AK-47 through the Tora Bora mountains for 10 to 11 days during the U.S. air campaign in that region."
Al Odah, now 34, has maintained his innocence throughout his detention. His father Khalid Al Odah told CNN that he was carrying a weapon when he was detained, but only for for self defense.
The difficulty with the Guantanamo cases is the government relies on hearsay, Cynamon said. There is no way of "testing the truthfulness of the people making the allegations."
According to diplomatic cables from the U.S. Embassy in 2009, published by WikiLeaks, the U.S. Ambassador in Kuwait dismissed the Kuwaiti detainees "as nasty, unrepentant individuals" and added: "Kuwait's record had been tarnished by the example of former GTMO detainee al-Ajmi, who'd allegedly (blew) himself up in Mosul following his release to the Kuwaiti authorities."
Kuwait's Minister of Interior Sheikh Jaber al-Khalid Al Sabah noted according to the same cable: "We are not Saudi Arabia; we cannot isolate these people in desert camps or somewhere on an island. We cannot compel them to stay. If they are rotten, they are rotten and the best thing to do is get rid of them. You picked them up in Afghanistan; you should drop them off in Afghanistan, in the middle of the war zone."
Adel Abdul Hadi, one of Al Kandari's defense lawyers, said of Sheikh al Sabah's comments: "Those charged with having Fayiz (Al Kandari) and Fawzi (Al Odah) returned were actually suggesting they be murdered instead (of) being returned to Kuwait."
The nine other Kuwaiti detainees who have been repatriated to Kuwait between 2005 and 2009 have reintegrated well said Khalid Al Odah, who works with the Kuwait Family Committee, which lobbies on behalf of the remaining Kuwaiti prisoners in Guantanamo. "They are productive. Some have children, they are working and we are in contact with them all the time," Khalid Al Odah said.
Fouad Mahmoud Al Rabiah was the last Kuwaiti detainee released from Guantanamo in December 2009. In his case a U.S. District Court concluded at the time that Al Rabiah's uncorroborated confessions, which his counsel attributed to abuse and coercion, were "not credible or reliable, and that the Government has failed to provide the Court with sufficiently credible and reliable evidence to meet its burden of persuasion. If there exists a basis for Al Rabiah's indefinite detention, it most certainly has not been presented to this Court." His petition for habeas corpus was granted.
Al Rabiah was repatriated to Kuwait where he was supposed to live in a rehabilitation center, according to Cynamon, his lawyer. But after a few days of interrogation, the Kuwaiti authorities decided there was no case against Al Rabiah and they allowed him to go free.
If Al Kandari and Al Odah were released they would be sent to a rehabilitation center in Kuwait's central prison, Khalid Al Odah said. They would not be allowed to leave the country and they would be under surveillance, Khalid Al Odah said.
Khalid Al Odah said his son may have lost his legal battle, but "Kuwait has other cards to play with."
On May 18, Kuwait's parliament descended into a brawl during a debate about the fate of Al Kandari and Al Odah. According to press reports, a Shiite MP referred to the Kuwait detainees as "al Qaeda" militants. That provoked an argument with a Muslim Brotherhood MP - and blows were exchanged - leading Assembly Speaker Jassem Al-Kharafi to suspend the session.
The majority of Kuwaiti MPs and thousands of others have signed a petition asking the U.S. to give the Kuwaiti detainees a fair trial or release them.
Kuwaiti MP Rola Al-Dashti said it was impossible to know if Al Kandari was guilty or innocent: "I don't see a fair trial ... nobody knows why the U.S. is keeping them," she said, referring to Al Kandari and Al Odah. It is very important to the people of Kuwait and to the families of the detainees that the U.S. abide by democratic principles, she said. "It doesn't look good to look into the U.S. and see this kind of practice."
Al Odah's father Khalid said "Ten years is long enough to keep them without a trial."
The recently departed U.S. Ambassador to Kuwait Deborah Jones, who was serving in her post when the WikiLeaks cables were allegedly sent, said the remaining two Kuwaiti detainees in Guantanamo represent a threat to both the U.S. and Kuwait, according to Kuwaiti press reports. (The U.S. embassy in Kuwait declined to comment on the remarks or provide a transcript of the ambassador's press event in which the comments were reportedly made).
Al Kandari has maintained that after finishing the repairs on the mosque back in 2001, he placed a plaque there. His defense team are still trying to trace that mosque. Adel Abdul Hadi, his lawyer, says that "if found, it will be yet more proof that U.S. intelligence is again wrong."
Having read this I thought it was extremely informative. I appreciate you spending some time and effort to put this information together. I once again find myself spending way too much time both reading and posting comments. But so what, it was still worth it!

Chasewater Railway Museum received full accreditation in 2011 by the Museums, Libraries & Archives Council (the MLA). This award is in recognition of our volunteer's efforts to achieve the high standards of care and of good practice expected of accredited Museums throughout the UK, and to provide a quality experience for those visitors, of all ages and interests, who come to see what the Museum has to offer.
Admission to the Museum is free and also accessible to visitors with mobility difficulties.
Visitors can view a vast array of railway items, some from as early as the 1800s. Although we try to focus on artefacts associated with the local area, with its strong links with the coal mining industry, our collections include items from much further afield. You don't have to be an expert on railways to appreciate the inspirational displays prepared by our Museum Curator and the team of volunteer helpers

Patient awoke to doctors mistakenly preparing to remove her organs
Not everyone looks forward to a visit to the doctor. And some people even have an irrational fear of hospitals.
But sometimes things do, in fact, go horribly wrong, as in the case of a Syracuse, New York, resident who awoke during a trip to the emergency room to find that doctors were mistakenly preparing to remove her organs.
The Post-Standard reports that in October 2009, Colleen S. Burns was taken to the emergency room at St. Joseph's Hospital Center, suffering from a drug overdose. Although a nurse told doctors that Burns was recovering from her overdose, those same doctors pronounced her dead.
A call was placed to her family informing them that Burns had passed away, and the family subsequently agreed to have her removed from life support and gave the hospital clearance to harvest her organs.
But Burns was not dead. In fact, a number of signs clearly pointed to her being alive. When a nurse performed a mandatory reflex test on Burns, her toes curled downward. She appeared to be breathing independently of a hospital respirator, and her lips and tongue were said to have moved moments before doctors prepared to remove her organs.
Nonetheless, the nurse then followed instructions to give Burns a powerful sedative, a seemingly unnecessary move if the patient were actually dead.
Thankfully, Burns awoke moments before doctors were going to cut her open to remove the organs from her presumed-dead body.
"Despite this sequence of events," said a federal report from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, "intensive objective peer review and root cause analysis of the case was not done by the hospital's quality assurance program until prompted by the Department of Health."
"They were just kind of shocked themselves," Burns' mother, Lucille Kuss, told the paper when asked how doctors responded to the morbid mistake. "It came as a surprise to them as well."
It's unlikely that Burns' case was entirely isolated. A report from the American Association for Justice claims that preventable medical errors are the sixth largest cause of death in the U.S.
The hospital was sanctioned for its actions and cited for a number of mistakes that placed the patient's health in jeopardy. But in a development that is nearly as shocking as the mistakes themselves, the hospital was only fined a total of $22,000. Burns herself declined to sue the hospital after the incident even though the hospital, whose motto is "A Higher Level of Care," never even explained to her why the mistake had occurred.
Although the fines were levied in September 2012, they were first made public in a reported obtained by The Post-Standard on Sunday.
Burns, who fully recovered from her injuries at the time, committed suicide in 2011 at the age of 41. But her mother says Burns was already suffering from a number of issues and that the hospital incident did not play a role in her eventual suicide.
"She was so depressed that it really didn't make any difference to her," Kuss told the paper.
For its part, St. Joseph's has stood by its medical staff.
"St. Joseph's goal is to provide the highest quality of care to every patient, every time," Howell said in an email to The Post-Standard. "These policies were followed in this case, which was complicated in terms of care and diagnosis," Howell said. "We've learned from this experience and have modified our policies to include the type of unusual circumstance presented in this case."
And as if all of that is not unsettling enough, one consumer advocate told The Post-Standard that there's currently no way of accounting for how often these cases happen, because there is no centralized system for collecting information on hospital errors.
"These sorts of things do happen," Lisa McGiffert, director of Consumers Union Safe Patient Project, told the paper. "It's pretty disturbing."
