Net providers begin warning of illegal downloads

WASHINGTON (AP) ? Internet users who illegally share music, movies or television shows online could soon receive warning notices from the nation's five major Internet service providers.

The Copyright Alert System, organized by the recording and film industry, is being activated this week to target consumers using peer-to-peer software.

Under the new system, complaints will prompt an Internet service provider ? such as Verizon or AT&T ? to notify a customer whose Internet address has been detected sharing files illegally. A person will be given up to six opportunities to stop before the Internet provider will take more drastic steps, such as temporarily slowing their connection, or redirecting Internet traffic until they acknowledge they received a notice or review educational materials about copyright law.

Consumers who maintain they have been wrongly accused would be forced to pay $35 to appeal the decision. The fee would be reimbursed if they prevail.

Proponents say the focus is on deterring the average consumer rather than chronic violators. The director of the organization behind the system, Jill Lesser of the Center for Copyright Infringement, said in a blog post Monday that the program is "meant to educate rather than punish, and direct (users) to legal alternatives."

Each Internet provider is expected to implement their own system. The program gives each customer five or six "strikes" after a music or film company has detected illegal file-sharing and lodged a complaint. The first alerts are expected to be educational, while the third and fourth would require the customer to acknowledge that they have received the warnings and understand their behavior is illegal. The final warnings are expected to lead to "mitigation measures," such as slowing a person's Internet connection speeds.

Officials involved in the effort acknowledge it's unlikely to stop the biggest violators. There are ways to disguise an IP address or use a neighbor's connection that is unlocked. Public wireless connections, such as those offered at coffee shops, also won't be monitored.

Watch Live: Obama talks 'sequester' with govs.

President Barack Obama on Monday is expected to implore the nation's governors to put pressure on Congress to avoid the sequester as he speaks to the nation's governors at the White House.

Members of the Obama administration, heads of federal agencies and others have been issuing severe warnings to Congress regarding the sequester?$85 billion in across-the-board spending cuts that will go into effect March 1 absent a budget. Warnings have been released threatening fewer responders to handle wildfires, reduced food safety inspection, less help for vulnerable Americans and, on Friday, widespread flight delays and cancellations.

"Travelers should expect delays. Flights to major cities like New York, Chicago, San Francisco and others could experience delays up to 90 minutes during peak hours because we have fewer controllers on staff. Delays in these major airports will ripple across the country," Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood told reporters at Friday's White House press briefing after announcing that the Federal Aviation Administration plans massive furloughs and closing air traffic control towers if the sequester goes into effect.

The White House on Sunday night released state-by-state reports detailing what it says would be "devastating" impacts on each state as a result of the sequester, but the topic of the sequester was notably absent from Obama's speech Sunday night to the governors, who are in town for the National Governors Association's (NGA) annual winter meeting.

Instead, the president struck an appreciative tone at the White House dinner, commending the governors for steering their states through tough times.

Democratic Gov. Jack Markell of Delaware, chair of the NGA, followed Obama's address Sunday night by emphasizing the absence of politics from the night's celebration. "On this one night it?s a relief?politics doesn?t drive the conversation. We don?t speak of partisan issues or presidential aspirations," Markell said.

But Markell did note the sequester.

"One thing for sure is certain?you don?t let issues fester. You get to deal with education and health care, and even the sequester," Markell said to laughter and applause from the audience.

Republicans such as Speaker John Boehner have publicly stated their opposition to the sequester, though others have threatened they are willing to let it go into effect.

Some Republicans over the weekend continued to accuse the administration of exaggerating the sequester's impact.

"They have plenty of flexibility in terms of discretion on how they spend money. There are easy ways to cut this money that the American people will never feel," Republican Sen. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma said on Fox News Sunday.

The president is slated to address the governors at 11:05 a.m. ET from the White House State Dining Room. Vice President Joe Biden, first lady Michelle Obama and second lady Jill Biden are also scheduled to speak.

Global warming to make work miserable, study says

By John Roach, Contributing Writer, NBC News

Hot and muggy weather over the past few decades has led to about a 10 percent drop in the physiological capacity of people to do their work safely and those drops will be even greater as the climate continues to warm, a new study finds.

People may continue to work in the hot and muggy conditions, "but their misery will increase while they are productive," John Dunne, a research oceanographer with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in Princeton, N.J., told NBC News.

Dunne is the lead author of the study, which addresses the impact of rising humidity associated with global warming on the capacity of people to safely do their jobs ? from toiling in agricultural fields to crunching numbers at a desk.

The federal government maintains industrial and military guidelines that call for laborers to take breaks when conditions on a widely-used heat-stress index cross certain thresholds.?

"Black flag" conditions in military parlance, for example, correspond to a reading of greater than 90 degrees on the wet bulb global temperature index. Under those conditions, all non-mission critical physical training and strenuous exercise is suspended.

Dunne and colleagues combined historical analysis of the heat-stress index and model projections of future climate with the worker safety guidelines.?

They found that environmental heat stress has reduced worker capacity over the past few decades?to 90 percent during the hottest months of the year and project a further reduction to 80 percent in peak months by 2050 and less than 40 percent by 2200.

The highest plausible warming scenario modeled will expose ?mid-latitude regions such as the US east of the Rockies to environmental heat stress experienced only by the most extremely hot regions of the present day? such as parts of India, Dunne and colleagues write in a paper published today in Nature Climate Change.?

Dunne noted the findings come with several caveats. For example, uncertainty remains over how much the climate will warm in coming decades and how people will adapt their lifestyles to accommodate warmer conditions. It?s possible that agricultural work will shift to higher latitudes, for example, and afternoon siestas could be routine in mid-latitudes.

"The thing I like about this metric," noted Dunne, "is it is something that people have adapted their life to across the globe in the present day."

Asian shares edge higher, yen falls on Bank of Japan report

TOKYO (Reuters) - Asian shares edged higher on Monday, with investors still picking up shares battered by last week's steep plunge, while the yen fell to fresh lows on news a reflationary advocate could head the Bank of Japan next month.

The news Japan's government is likely to nominate Asian Development Bank President Haruhiko Kuroda, an advocate of aggressive monetary easing, as its next central bank governor, is set to be a major factor in financial markets this week.

Markets are pondering whether Italy's weekend elections will produce a stable government, and the implications of that for euro zone cohesion, while Moody's credit downgrade on Britain will play on confidence in the pound and government bonds.

Investors also await testimony on Tuesday from Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke for further clues of when the Fed may slow or stop buying bonds. Financial markets were rattled last week after minutes of the Fed's January meeting suggested some Fed officials were mulling scaling back its strong monetary stimulus earlier than expected.

The MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan <.miapj0000pus> was up 0.1 percent, pulled higher by Australian shares <.axjo> which gained 0.6 percent on reassuring comments from U.S. Federal Reserve officials on the bank's current stimulus program, which has helped underpin risk sentiment globally.

South Korean shares <.ks11> opened up 0.2 percent, with the nation's new leader, who has shown willingness to talk down the won, being sworn in on Monday.

Tokyo's Nikkei stock average <.n225> opened 1.6 percent higher. <.t/>

Early on Monday, the yen touched its lowest since May 2010 of 94.61 yen against the dollar, while the euro rose to a high of 124.83 yen, still off its 34-month peak of 127.71 set early this month.

The Nikkei newspaper reported the Japanese government is likely to nominate Haruhiko Kuroda and Kikuo Iwata, both vocal advocates of aggressive monetary expansion, as BOJ governor and deputy governor.

The dollar fell sharply to below 93 yen last week on media reports that Toshiro Muto, a former financial bureaucrat perceived as less willing to take unconventional steps, was the frontrunner candidate for the top BOJ job.

"The dollar's move this morning is merely a rebound from disappointment on Muto last week. I don't think this topic will be enough to hoist the dollar above 95 yen," said Hiroshi Maeba, head of FX trading Japan at UBS in Tokyo. "No matter who is elected at the BOJ, it will not affect the longer-term trend of a weak yen," he said.

Speculation over the BOJ has been a key factor driving the yen lower recently due to anticipation for strong reflationary measures, but other fundamental factors such as Japan's deteriorating trade balances and signs of firmer U.S. growth also supported a weakening yen trend.

Abe told Americans on Friday "I am back and so is Japan" and vowed to get the world's third biggest economy growing again.

Investors remained cautious before the full official results of Italy's elections come out on Tuesday, worried a potential political stalemate could impede Rome's progress on fiscal reforms.

The euro was up 0.1 percent to $1.3192, off Friday's six-week low of $1.31445.

Sterling fell to a 31-month low of $1.5073 early on Monday and a record low against the New Zealand dollar at NZ$1.8025 following Friday's one-notch downgrade of Britain's prized triple-A sovereign rating by Moody's.

Investors will also seek signs of recovery from the flash estimate of China's manufacturing PMI from HSBC/Markit due later in the session.

Wall Street ended higher on Friday, boosted strong earnings from Dow component Hewlett-Packard , but the benchmark Standard & Poor's Index <.spx> posted its first weekly decline of the year. European shares rose on Friday after data showed German business morale surged at its fastest pace in over two years in February.

Hedge funds and other big speculators cut their bullish bets on U.S. commodities by nearly $13 billion, the most in about 10 months, in the week to February 19 to $69 billion, just before oil and metals prices tumbled last week on rumors a commodities fund was dumping positions, trade data showed on Friday.

U.S. crude was up 0.1 percent to $93.26 a barrel.

Dos visit Bor?stapeter?s wallpaper factory

When I was in G?teborg I also took the time to go to Bor?s ? a town 40 minutes from G?teborg know for it?s textile and wallpaper industry. It?s als o the home of Bor?stapeter and Mr Perswall

I love visiting factories. To see how things are made. I still have a very vivid picture from a how it?s made show on Tv from when I was a kid. In one of them they showed how to make rubber boots and in another how the red color in candy comes from lice. And I have been addicted ever since.

Apparently this way of making the wallpapers is really old. Just look at these fantastic patterns!

I was a bit unlucky cause they just cleaned the printers before I came.

I guess I have to go back to see more!

I wish I had a working space like this.

bye bye

Kansas City restaurant fire rubble searched for missing woman

KANSAS CITY, Missouri (Reuters) - Firefighters on Wednesday resumed searching the rubble of a popular Kansas City, Missouri, restaurant destroyed by a natural gas blast and fire that injured up to 16 people and left a female employee missing.

Cadaver dogs explored the ruins of JJ's restaurant on the upscale Country Club Plaza shopping district overnight after the restaurant was engulfed by flames around 6 p.m. CST on Tuesday.

"At this time we are still searching for one victim and that is a female employee of the restaurant," Kansas City Fire Chief Paul Berardi said at press conference shortly before dawn.

Another employee reported missing late on Tuesday was found at an area hospital, he said.

Berardi said nine injured people were taken to hospitals and six or seven more went to hospitals on their own. Hospitals reported three people critically injured.

The restaurant and wine bar had several patrons inside at the time of the blast, Berardi said, along with employees. The explosion triggered a four-alarm fire that took 50 minutes to control.

Missouri Gas Energy said in a statement that first indications showed that a contractor doing work in the area had struck a natural gas line, but that the investigation was ongoing.

WATCH: New North Korea Internet Video Shows Obama, U.S. Troops Up in Flames

You?ve already destroyed New York City in a rocket attack that looks suspiciously like one from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.?What do you do for an encore? If you?re?North Korea?s semiofficial?Uriminzokkiri news website, you follow up with a propaganda video?that depicts President Obama and U.S. troops on fire and what may be an animation of a nuclear device launching.

(MORE:?North Korea?s Latest Video Destroys New York City, Angers Call of Duty Makers)

Titled ?Thanks to the Americans,? this video comes a week after North Korea conducted its third nuclear test on Feb. 12, and appears to blame the U.S. for the Hermit Kingdom?s pursuit of weapons of mass destruction. The New York Times sums up the text:

?It is not incorrect to say that the United States? gangster-like policy of hostility prompted us to become a most strong military power,? says the text that scrolls across the screen. ?Thus it can be said that it was ?thanks to? the Americans that we conducted a nuclear test.?

Once again, however, Pyongyang?s propaganda masters needed a little help to get their message across. While Uriminzokkiri?s earlier video was taken down after a?copyright complaint from Call of Duty gamemaker Activision,?Global Post reports the latest clip lifted its music from the soundtrack of the video game Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.

Arts & Crafts Furniture works just fine for former mill girl turned ...

Many people in Lancashire have a Victorian balloon backed dining chair or antique desk that they?ve inherited. At textile designer Susan Gaunt?s home, every stick of furniture is either a family heirloom or purchased from an antique shop, because her family history has made her passionate about preserving the past.

Susan is a direct descendent of the Yorkshire mill tycoon William C. Gaunt. She spent her youth helping out at the looms of the family business, Sunny Bank Mills, which Gaunt purchased from Edwin Woodhouse ? who made the company famous for its worsted fabrics ? in 1917. Sunny Bank itself, however, was opened in 1829 ? with a Gaunt as one of the trustees.

The family closed the historic building for redevelopment in 2008. When it reopens, it will have a nationally important textile archive dating back to 1857, a have a home in which everything has provenance and history, and promotes past craftsmanship. Her own fabrics can be seen covering the antique chairs of her home. She said:

?I love [?] to know where items were made and who made them. We lost that with mass manufacturing but people are becoming very interested in it now.?

In Lancashire, a Victorian balloon back dining chair with its original fabric is a rare find. There are plenty of antiques dealers selling reupholstered chairs, but check the fabric is true to the period. Susan Gaunt would never dream of covering an antique dining chair in anything other than natural wool.

Jesse Jackson Jr, wife to appear Wednesday

WASHINGTON (AP) ? Former U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. and his wife, Sandra, are to appear in federal court Wednesday to answer criminal charges in an alleged scheme to spend $750,000 in campaign funds on personal items, including a $43,350 gold watch, furs and celebrity memorabilia.

Both have agreed to plead guilty in deals with federal prosecutors. Jackson is charged with conspiracy and his wife with one count of filing false joint federal income tax returns for the years 2006 through 2011 that knowingly understated the income the couple received.

The Jacksons are to appear separately before U.S. District Judge Robert L. Wilkins ? with the former congressman appearing in the morning and his wife in the afternoon.

Both Jackson and his wife face maximum penalties of several years in prison; he also faces hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines and forfeitures.

Jackson used campaign money to buy a $43,350 gold-plated, men's Rolex watch and $9,587.64 on children's furniture, according to court papers filed in the case. His wife spent $5,150 on fur capes and parkas, the document said.

When prosecutors charged the couple last Friday, the ex-congressman said he fully accepts the responsibility for the improper decisions and mistakes he has made. Tom Kirsch, an attorney for Jackson's wife, said she has signed a plea agreement with federal prosecutors and would plead guilty to one tax count.

In court papers filed against Jackson on Friday, prosecutors said that upon conviction he must forfeit $750,000, plus tens of thousands of dollars' worth of memorabilia items and furs. The memorabilia includes a football signed by U.S. presidents, a Michael Jackson and Eddie Van Halen guitar, a Michael Jackson fedora, Martin Luther King Jr. memorabilia, Malcolm X memorabilia, Jimi Hendrix memorabilia and Bruce Lee memorabilia ? all from a company called Antiquities of Nevada.

Spencer Green, File)

WASHINGTON (AP) ? Former U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. and his wife are to appear in federal court to answer criminal charges that they engaged in an alleged scheme to spend $750,000 in campaign funds on personal items.

Both the former Illinois congressman and his wife, Sandra, have agreed to plead guilty in deals with federal prosecutors. Jackson is charged with conspiracy and his wife with one count of filing false joint federal income tax returns for the years 2006 through 2011 that knowingly understated the income the couple received.

The Jacksons are appearing separately Wednesday before U.S. District Judge Robert L. Wilkins ? with the former congressman appearing in the morning and his wife in the afternoon.

Both Jackson and his wife face maximum penalties of several years in prison; he also faces hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines and forfeitures.

Jackson, 47, used campaign money to buy a $43,350 gold-plated, men's Rolex watch and spent $9,587.64 on children's furniture, according to court papers filed in the case. His wife spent $5,150 on fur capes and parkas, the document said.

The conspiracy charge against the former congressman carries a maximum statutory penalty of up to five years in prison, a fine of up to $250,000, and other penalties. The charge against Sandra Jackson carries a maximum of three years in prison. However, one of her lawyers, Tom Kirsch, says the plea agreement "does not contemplate a sentence of that length." Sandra Jackson was a Chicago alderman before she resigned last month during the federal investigation.

In court papers filed against Jackson on Friday, prosecutors said that upon conviction he must forfeit $750,000, plus tens of thousands of dollars' worth of memorabilia items and furs. The memorabilia includes a football signed by U.S. presidents, a Michael Jackson fedora, and memorabilia of Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, Jimi Hendrix and Bruce Lee ? all from a company called Antiquities of Nevada.
