Source: The Philadelphia InquirerSept.self storage 05--Sometimes, it hits you after you've openly posted comments about a product or a politician. Other times, it strikes you after an online transaction, such as buying an airline or concert ticket, or a Web search about a disease or a dance step. Twerking fans, you know who you are.Every day, those of us who live increasingly online are adding to a digital footprint others can access. And a study due out Thursday from the Pew Research Center suggests that many of us are increasingly wary of that prospect and are trying to regain a measure of control.The July survey, based on a sample of more than 1,000 American adults, found that more than eight in 10 said they had taken steps to remove or disguise at least some details of their digital activities.For instance, nearly two-thirds said they had cleared their Web browsers' history or cookies, the digital files companies use to track your browsing -- the source of those ads that trail you from site to site and know about your recent searches.More than a third had avoided a particular website because it required use of real names. One in four had created a temporary user name or e-mail to cover tracks. And between 10 percent and 20 percent had used fake names, encryptions, or services that enabled them to browse the Internet anonymously.Are such efforts effective? As recent disclosures about the National Security Agency suggest, there may be no sure way to foil a determined spy agency. But the Pew study shows that most Americans have more mundane concerns about privacy, yet still aren't sure they can protect themselves online.For example, 42 percent said it would be "very easy" for a company to identify them if they posted anonymous comments about its product, and 37 percent said it would be "somewhat easy."The truth? That isn't crystal-clear either, concedes study coauthor Lee Rainie, director of Pew's Internet and American Life Project."Some companies say that if they're served with a subpoena, they turn over the records. Other companies are more resistant," he said. "If it comes down to a legal showdown or it comes迷你倉down to a determined opponent, it's probably not possible."Joseph Turow of the University of Pennsylvania's Annenberg School for Communication said a 1990s law and the First Amendment protect third-party sites from legal challenges over users' comments."If you just say a product is bad, it's an opinion," he said. "Yelp has comments like that all the time."Pew's study found that 28 percent of respondents had tried to hide their activities from advertisers -- more than five times as many as those who said they had tried to shield information from the government or law enforcement.But the study also shows that Internet users, especially younger ones, are focused on controlling access to people within and outside their social circles."The research so far has emphasized the ways that people ignore privacy," said study coauthor Sara Kiesler, professor of computer science and human-computer interaction at Carnegie Mellon University. "This research suggests that people have realized there are things that can hurt them -- socially, or in getting a job -- just by having it associated with their real identities."Pew found, for instance, that 10 percent to 20 percent of Internet users had tried to hide information from people in their past, from those who might criticize or harass them, from employers or work supervisors or colleagues, or even from family members or romantic partners.Those findings were no surprise to Asta Zelenkauskaite, a Drexel University media researcher. "People want to decide who knows what about them, similar to what we have in face-to-face situations," she said.Zelenkauskaite didn't dispute Pew's finding that younger Internet users are more likely to consider controlling their online information a key concern. Quoting University of Amsterdam scholar Mark Deuze, she said, "We are no longer living with media but in media."Contact Jeff Gelles at 215-854-2776, jgelles@phillynews.com, or @jeffgelles on Twitter.

Source: Daily Press, Victorville, Calif.迷你倉出租Sept. 05--APPLE VALLEY -- The Victor Valley Wastewater Reclamation Authority will begin construction this fall to permanently replace two major sewer lines that were damaged in Dec. 2010 and caused as much as 42 million gallons of raw sewage to spill into the Mojave River.The lines were dislodged when severe storms caused the river to flow at record levels, a spokesman for the VVWRA said on Wednesday. The storms and subsequent flood damage occurred across Southern California and a federal emergency was declared, he said.Construction to replace the impacted lines will require two operating permits from the Mojave Desert Air Quality Management District for emergency sewer pumps that will emit toxic and organic pollutants from two sites.According to the MDAQMD, the emissions calculations comply with local, state and federal air pollution regulations but are considered a "high priority" on the district's prioritization score index.The pollutants include particulate matter, oxides of nitrogen, oxides of sulfur, carbon monoxide, diesel particulate matter and volatile organic compounds, according to the MDAQMD notice.The two sites are both located within 1,000 feet of the outer property boundaries of the Academy of Academic Excellence/Lewis Center, the notice states. 迷你倉ite one is located on the west side of the Mojave River, east of the railroad tracks and east of Kemper Campbell Ranch Road.Site two is on the school grounds of the Lewis Center on the 17000 block of Mana Road in Apple Valley.A parent night will be held on Monday at 6 p.m. at AAE's Mojave River Campus to discuss the MDAQMD notice. VVWRA officials will be present to answer questions."They'll be there to answer questions and make sure our kids are safe," AAE President/CEO Rick Piercy said. "That's always the main concern. So far, from what we understand I don't think that our kids are going to be in any danger. They're a long ways away from where the pumps are."To prevent any potential future damage to the sewer lines, the new main interceptor lines will be built away from the river, Orr said. Construction is expected to take between nine and 15 months and cannot begin until October because the Mojave River is a flyway for migratory birds.For more information contact Guy Smith of the MDAQMD at 760-245-1661extension 1854.Brooke Self may be reached 760-951-6232 or BSelf@VVDailyPRess.com.

Source: The Pueblo Chieftain, Colo.儲存Sept. 05--This Pueblo psychologist heard and heeded the 1960s' message of brotherhood and equality.Carlos Rodriguez says his long career in mental health has been influenced by what he learned as a teen at Boys Town near Omaha, Neb. -- and by the disparity between that knowledge and what he observed in Pueblo.Rodriguez, 68, and his late brother Nicholas attended high school at Boys Town, where, Carlos says, "boys of every race, creed and color were treated equally. I believed that was the way it was (elsewhere); that was the perception I had of society. But growing up in Bessemer and coming back to Pueblo, it was clearly evident that everyone wasn't on an equal playing field."Adding to his notion that all people were equal was what he heard at home because of his immigrant steel worker father's union activities.Rodriguez says he grew up early, selling newspapers and shining shoes on Northern Avenue, and was "street smart" when he left for Boys Town in eighth grade. Bessemer was different then, he says, more vibrant, more familycentered and filled with people who wanted to create a better life for their children.At that time, youths went to Boys Town because they were homeless, neglected or underprivileged, and the Rodriguez boys were considered the third."My parents were good parents, strong parents, but they had eight kids," Rodriguez says.Education valuedWhile at Boys Town -- Carlos graduated in 1963 and his brother graduated in 1962 -- Rodriguez learned the value of education."It was very good for academics and spirituality and sports," he says. "I didn't go out for sports, but they really prepared me for academics. Whe新蒲崗迷你倉 I left, I wanted to become a medical doctor."Instead, Rodriguez studied psychology at Southern Colorado State College and helped start a Chicano student organization. He earned a bachelor's degree right before being drafted and going to Vietnam. When he returned from the Army, he continued his education at Colorado State University and earned a doctorate.During more than 40 years in the mental health field in Pueblo, he's worked in geriatrics; with adults, teens and children; at the Parkview Family Counseling Center; and he started New Beginnings Mental Health services on Pueblo's West Side. He also worked as a family life consultant, providing care to veterans and families at area military facilities, including Fort Carson, Peterson Air Force Base and the Air Force Academy.Sibling honorsRodriguez and his late brother both were honored in the spring by Mental Health America of Pueblo; Carlos received the top honor, the Robert Hawkins Award. And they both were honored in late July with induction into the Boys Town Hall of History for community service since high school graduation.Rodriguez says he wasn't looking for prestige or to make lots of money from a career in mental health."I wanted to help other people and to make sure what needed to be done, could be, and that everybody be treated fairly and equally."Semi-retired now and trying to help indigent people access resources to which they're entitled, Rodriguez says, "I'm trying to be a helper for people who need help."maryp@chieftain.comCopyright: ___ (c)2013 The Pueblo Chieftain (Pueblo, Colo.)

Source: Dayton Daily News, OhioSept.迷你倉 05--VANDALIA -- VANDALIA --A local pharmaceutical manufacturer is planning a $4 million addition to its facility, according to the Vandalia's Development & Engineering Services Department.Last month, Aptalis Pharmatech sought a building permit for its center at 845 Center Drive.A representative of the company did not immediately return a phone call by the Dayton Daily News.The company's website states it "manufactures, markets and distributes a broad line of pharmaceutical products and services used in the treatment of cystic fibrosis and gastrointestinal disorders in more than 40 countries, via a combination of its own personnel and a network of global partners."The center in Vandalia is a 110,000-square foot warehouse and plant.In September of last year, Vandalia City Manager Rob Anderson told the Dayton Daily News the company added more than 100 jobs over the last six years.Aptalis is a global company headquartered in Bridgewater, N.J. with fa儲存倉tories in Montreal, Paris and two in Milan.The Vandalia location actually started as a capsular products division of NCR Corp. in the 1950s, when it helped develop carbon-less paper.The encapsulation technology led to other products such as "scratch and sniff" technology and other uses, including pharmaceuticals.By 1984, NCR began divesting itself of subsidiaries, and what became Aptalis last year was owned by several companies, including A.H. Robbins, American Home Products, Phizer, then Eurand.That coating technology used in carbonless paper was reworked as a coating for bitter-tasting pills and as a way to slow down the release of medicine in the body.Now, the company focuses on gastrointestinal diseases and cystic fibrosis, and recently released Viokace, which helps treat exocrine pancreatic insufficiency.Copyright: ___ (c)2013 the Dayton Daily News (Dayton, Ohio) Visit the Dayton Daily News (Dayton, Ohio) at .daytondailynews.com Distributed by MCT Information Services迷你倉價錢

Source: Pioneer Press, St.存倉 Paul, Minn.Sept. 04--Amid the tears and stifled sobs of a grieving family, the question loomed large in a Ramsey County courtroom: Why did such a good young man have to die?Aung Thu Bo, 19, was a Hamline University computer science student who was shot to death Aug. 10, 2012, after he responded to the killer's Craigslist ad for a cellphone.Two of Bo's three sisters and his mother took turns sitting in front of Ramsey County District Judge Margaret Marrinan. Through written statements, they described -- or tried to, before breaking down -- the man who always smiled, who volunteered at a nursing home, who turned all his paychecks over to his immigrant parents and worked hard to get through high school and into college.He never even got a speeding ticket.Marrinan took it all in and then sentenced his killer, Steven Emmanuel Lewis, 27, of Maplewood to more than 24 years in prison.Lewis apologized for his actions. "It never was supposed to go the way it did," he told the court. He has said previously that the gun went off accidentally.Lewis pleaded guilty July 10 to second-degree murder and aggravated robbery.Bo and his girlfriend, Annie Moua, drove in Bo's Mitsubishi Lancer to look at an iPhone 4S Lewis advertised on Craigslist.They met Lewis at Leo's Chow Mein on Hudson Road in St. Paul about 12:40 p.m.Lewis said he had left the phone's charger at home and wanted to go get it. Bo asked to look at the phone to see if he was interested in it. Lewis then said that the phone was at his house, too. He lived right around the corner, he said."Bo told the man that he didn't do transactions at a house," the complaint said. But Lewis persuaded them to go. Lewis got in the back seat and Bo drove about two blocks, as Lewis directed.Lew迷你倉s then pulled out a black handgun. He met no resistance from Bo and Moua, said Assistant Ramsey County Attorney Lawrence Schultz."When it became apparent that this was a robbery, they couldn't give thedefendant the articles of any value fast enough," Schultz said.Lewis reached into the front seat and searched Bo's pockets with his left hand. The gun went off. A bullet entered the right side of Bo's head, exiting through the left.Doctors determined that the wound would be fatal. His family took him off life support the next day.The prosecutor decried the killing, pointing to other recent violence in St. Paul."It's as if there's an open season on good people on the East Side," Schultz said.He asked Marrinan to give Lewis the most severe sentence she could. She did.Lewis was given credit for the 390 days he has served in custody and ordered to pay $3,574 in restitution to Bo's family, $10,299 to the Crime Victims Reparations Board (which paid the family for funeral expenses) and $218 to Moua for the loss of her two phones.At the sentencing, Bo's 15-year-old sister, Thanda Bo, said her brother taught her many things -- including the importance of respect."He was always respectful to adults and showed an amazing attitude towards them. Respect is a very important trait because it's what keeps society together."As for Lewis, she said, she asked the judge for "a reasonable sentenceso he will know not to steal from others and hurt others ever again."Lewis had seven felony convictions since 2004, Schultz said.Emily Gurnon can be reached at 651-228-5522.

NEW YORK, Sept.儲存倉 5, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Kerrisdale Capital Management, a private investment management firm and beneficial owner of more than 4% of the shares of Morgans Hotel Group ("Morgans Hotel" or "Morgans") , issued the following letter on Thursday, September 5(th) to the stakeholders of Morgans Hotel Group:(Logo: photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130620/NY35162LOGO )Dear Stakeholders of Morgans Hotel Group,Kerrisdale Capital Management intends to nominate a separate set of directors to the board of Morgans Hotel Group in the 2014 board of directors election. Kerrisdale believes that the current directors of Morgans Hotel do not adequately represent the interests of the majority of shareholders. We believe that the views of OTK Associates, which owns less than a 15% economic interest, are currently over-represented on the Morgans Hotel board, and the views of the other 85% of shareholders are severely under-represented.We believe that the overwhelming consensus view of the company's ownership is that Morgans should initiate an immediate public sale process to sell the company to one or multiple strategic acquirers. Despite repeated calls for an immediate sale process by shareholders including Caerus Global Investors and ourselves, as well as significant creditor Yucaipa Companies, the new Board has yet to issue a public response.Kerrisdale will support a carefully chosen slate of financial, industry and mergers and acquisitions experts to serve as directors of Morgans. As Kerrisdale previously detailed in our letter on June 20(th), Morgans provides an attractive luxury boutique hotel platform for an international hotel company. A well-capitalized and proven global operator can effectuate the expansion of the Mondrian, Delano and Hudson brands far faster and at better economics than the currently undercapitalized Morgans. Maintaining Morgans Hotel as a standalone entity is highly undesirable because we doubt that any management team can add sufficient operational value relative to the value leakage incurred by delaying a sale process. In addition, recent litigation and notices of default from Yucaipa and迷你倉價錢Andrew Sasson will prove not only distracting to management, but will also waste shareholder capital that could be otherwise used for Morgans' operations.Based on the current board's tepid response to the very obvious solution of an immediate sale process, which we believe is widely supported by the vast majority of the Morgans shareholder base, we believe that Morgans shareholders will be best served by the slate of directors that Kerrisdale will nominate in 2014.Sincerely,Sahm AdrangiChief Investment OfficerKerrisdale Capital Management, LLCAbout Kerrisdale Capital Management, LLCKerrisdale Capital Management, LLC is a fundamentally-oriented investment manager that focuses on long-term value investments and event-driven special situations.

Tea houses are places of relaxation and fun while chatting with friends and having a bite to eat in China.迷你倉 The traditional ones in China’s mainland feature Chinese architectural characteristics such as up-turned eaves, carved beams and painted rafters, and serve Chinese dim sum, including dumplings, steamed stuffed buns, porridge and mellow tea.But the tea houses in Hong Kong differ from traditional mainland tea houses. They are a combination of Chinese tea house and Western cafe. People often call them Hong Kong-style cafes or tea restaurants.In recent years, with the spread of popular Hong Kong TV series, mainland residents have gotten to know the tea restaurant culture of this special administrative region. Hong Kongers gather there at lunchtime or at teatime, having a satisfying meal and chatting with friends.The delicacies offered by Hong Kong tea restaurants generally are comprised of two parts — Chinese snacks such as Cantonese dim sum and traditional noodles and desserts, and Western cuisine, such as sandwiches, salad, coffee and macaroni.  Tea restaurants always have set meals. The breakfast set meal usually is made up of tea, an omelet, buns and a sandwich. The lunch and dinner set meals are similar but add perhaps some roast pork and fruit.As a kind of grassroots eatery, the Hong Kong-style cafe is noted for its convenience and low cost. A set meal including beverage, staple and fruit is only around 30 to 40 yuan (US$4.90-6.50). Service usually is fast.This type of tea restaurant is seen more and more in the Chinese mainland, including Hangzhou. Shanghai Daily has picked some classical dishes from Hong Kong-style cafes that you can enjoy in Hangzhou’s tea restaurants.Pineapple bunsPineapple buns, also known as rocky buns with butter, are a common food in Hong Kong tea restaurants. The name comes from its checkered top, resembling the outside of a pineapple. The bun consists of sugar, eggs, flour and lard and its top is crunchy and sweet.The bread dough underneath is soft and fragrant. The bun is brought hot from the oven to the diner’s table, and served halved with a large slab of chilled butter between the halves.The butter quickly melts into the hot bread. Bit文件倉ng into the bun fills a diner’s mouth with rich flavors and aroma.Where to get:• Charme RestaurantAddress: 2/F, D Pavilion, Hangzhou Tower, No. 1, Wulin SquareTel: (0571) 8789-9245 • Ling Long TownAddress: 198 Nanshan RdTel: (0571) 8702-5558Hong Kong-style milk teaMilk tea is a must-have in Hong Kongers’ daily lives, typically served as part of the afternoon tea. It enjoys nearly the same ubiquitous status that coffee holds in the West.Hong Kong-style milk tea is made of a blend of Ceylon tea, milk and sugar, with the last ingredient added by the customers themselves except in the case of take-out. Sometimes vendors use evaporated milk instead of milk and sugar to give the tea a richer mouthfeel.Hong Kong-style milk tea became a habit during British colonial rule over Hong Kong (1841-1997). Though the British learned to drink tea from the Chinese, they altered the plain tea by adding milk and sugar. This way to drink tea quickly became popular around the city.During the brewing of Hong Kong-style milk tea, a cloth bag is used to filter the tea leaves. It is considered to make the tea smoother. The shape of the bag resembles a silk stocking, giving the Hong Kong-style milk tea a nickname of “silk stocking” milk tea. Where to get:• Xi Wang Tea RestaurantAddress: 6 Hubin RdTel: (0571) 8791-1798 • Jia Le Tea RestaurantAddress: 18 Wantang RdTel: (0571) 8720-9188Cha shaoCha shao, meaning “pork skewered with long forks” in Chinese, is a kind of barbecued pork in Cantonese cuisine.The pork is seasoned with a mixture of honey, five-spice powder (a Chinese seasoning mix), red fermented bean curd (preserved tofu), dark soy sauce, hoisin sauce (a dipping sauce and glaze used in Chinese cooking) and rice wine.After roasting over a fire, the exterior layer of the meat turns dark red. Sometimes the chef uses malt sugar to give cha shao an aromatic taste.In Hong Kong tea restaurants, cha shao is consumed with rice, buns or noodles.

Source: The Gazette, Cedar Rapids, IowaSept.self storage 04--A judicial panel has recommended that Iowa City attorney Jeff McGinness, who is a member of the Iowa City school board, lose his law license for six months because of professional misconduct.The Iowa Supreme Court Grievance Commission last month found that McGinness, who also is a former star wrestler at Iowa City High School and the University of Iowa, falsified documents in a civil case in 2012 and, when confronted, lied about it to the opposing attorney and a judge.McGinness eventually admitted to three violations of the Iowa Rules of Professional Conduct, which detail lawyers' professional and ethical responsibilities. Violating the rules can result in discipline.The case will be submitted to the Iowa Supreme Court, which can impose a sanction different from what has been recommended, said Steve Davis, spokesman for the Iowa Judicial branch. The matter has not yet been scheduled.McGinness also could appeal the commission's report, he said.The situation may not affect McGinness' position on the school board. There does not appear to be any provision in state law or school district policies that would prevent him from continuing to serve on the board. He is about to finish his second year of a four-year term.McGinness did not immediately return phone and email messages Tuesday and Wednesday.According to a complaint filed with the Grievance Commission in January and the commission's report filed in August, McGinness falsified a document as part of the discovery process in a civil case last year. He worked at the Simmons Perrine Moyer Bergman law firm at the time but has since started his own practice.Shortly before a deposition in June 2012, the opposing attorney, David Nelmark, said he had not received answers to a request he'd made that March. McGinness said he had served the documents in March and provided copies that included a certificate of service signed by his assistant.In looking at the electronic data imbedded in the documents, Nelmark discovered they were created in June. He also hired a handwriting expert who determined the certificate of service emailed by McGinness in June was a copy of one from earlier in March.McGinness denied they were fake to Nelmark and to a judge in an August 2012 hearing. District Court Judge Douglas Staskal, however, found beyond a reasonable doubt that the allegations were true.In September, McGinness sent a letter to the Attorney Disciplinary Board saying Staskal's findings were correct, writing that he did so "with extreme disappointment in myself as an attorney, person and father."A complaint was filed this past January alleging three violations of the Iowa Rul迷你倉s of Professional Conduct. As the process played out this year, McGinness again admitted to falsifying and misrepresenting the documents and lying about doing so, according to the Grievance Commission.The commission determined he did so to delay his client's deposition "to gain a litigation advantage." In recommending the six-month suspension of McGinness' law license, the commission's Jessica Bear called the violations "very serious.""Violations of this nature reflect poorly on the Respondent (McGinness), as well as on the legal profession as a whole," she wrote in the report on the matter.Paul Gowder, a University of Iowa law professor who does research on ethics, said the courts depend on lawyers telling the truth to ensure a fair process. But, he said, it's not unheard for a lawyer to miss a filing deadline and instead of going to court to fix it, the person tries to cover it up."It's serious," he said of McGinness' actions. "And it's not particularly rare and it's not particularly malicious. We're not talking about stealing money from a client."One of the mitigating circumstances the Grievance Commission considered was McGinness' service to the community, which includes being on the school board and other civic organizations and coaching youth sports.While the commission commended him for that work, it also suggested it played a role in his misconduct. Bear wrote that all the commitments created a situation in which McGinness was overextended.Representatives from multiple state agencies and the Iowa Association of School Boards said Wednesday they knew of no laws or ethics guidelines that would prevent McGinness from continuing to serve on the school board.The Iowa City school board has a code of conduct that says board members are to act ethically, businesslike and lawfully, "including proper use of authority and appropriate decorum when acting as Board members." It does not mention conduct when they are not acting as board members.The oath of office school board members take, which is set by state statute, also would not preclude McGinness from continuing to serve, said Mary Gannon, attorney for the Iowa Association of School Boards.Craig Hansel, the school board secretary and the district's chief financial officer, said the district leadership team is aware of McGinness' situation, but they have not had any conversation about what the implications might be for his service to the board.Iowa City school board President Marla Swesey did not immediately return a phone call seeking comment.Copyright: ___ (c)2013 The Gazette (Cedar Rapids, Iowa) Visit The Gazette (Cedar Rapids, Iowa) at thegazette.com Distributed by MCT Information Services文件倉
