Both Jim W and I have had really weird stuff happening with our computers yesterday and today. Unwanted pop ups, unwanted new browser pages telling us we have an outdated version of firfox with serious security issues\u00a0 and need to download the fix without telling us what that fix is or should be- And we both coincidentally downloaded and updated those browsers to version 33 yesterday. Whattaya think? are we under attack here? Tune in later folks, maybe we’ll know in a couple hours.\u00a0 ———djo———<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

{\u00a0 This from Variety: “No amount of familiarity with whistleblower Edward Snowden <\/a>and his shocking revelations of the U.S. government\u2019s wholesale spying on its own citizens can prepare one for the impact of Laura Poitras<\/a>\u2019 extraordinary documentary \u201cCitizenfour.\u201d Far from reconstructing or analyzing a fait accompli, the film tersely records the deed in real time, as Poitras and fellow journalist Glenn Greenwald meet Snowden over an eight-day period in a Hong Kong hotel room to plot how and when they will unleash the bombshell that shook the world. Adapting the cold language of data encryption to recount a dramatic saga of abuse of power and justified paranoia, Poitras brilliantly demonstrates that information is a weapon that cuts both ways.

-Live- CDC head grilled by U.S. Congress on Dallas Ebola response<\/span> \u00a0 { * One of my favorited watchdogs told us last week that the federal government knew they would have someone with Ebola coming to the US and directly to Dallas. They basically knew the whole story from beginning to end six months before it happened and did nothing. I have no contacts on the ‘inside’ there to check on this, but, after listening to Remote Viewers and other scientific future checker out-ers like ‘half past human dot com’ — and others— I don’t need to take stuff like this on blind faith. If it isn’t true that somebody in government or close to government is ‘psychic’ enough to hone in on future events, then maybe somebody in a dark ops office is sitting there planning how and when to release ‘information’ or ‘disinformation’ with believable photos and ‘eyewitnesses’ ahead of time and have everything in place and ready to fly up and bite us when they believe the time is right? Remember the quote from the movie ‘The President’s Analyst’ – “I’m not paranoid! Somebody is really trying to get me!” —djo—\u00a0 }<\/p>\n

5 Outrageous fees consumers are being charged<\/span>\u00a0 { * – Watch Marketplace’s season premiere, Canada\u2019s Dumbest Charge, Friday Oct. 17\u00a0at 8 p.m. (8:30 p.m. in Newfoundland and Labrador). Join the discussion on Twitter by using the\u00a0hashtag\u00a0#dumbcharge – <\/strong><\/em>From paying to receive a paper bill to getting charged for checking airline luggage, if there\u2019s one thing that bothers many of us, it\u2019s beingnickel-and-dimed with add-on fees and dumb charges. – CBC Marketplace is on the hunt for the country\u2019s dumbest fee. Canadians submitted more than 700 complaints about fees from across the country, expressing outrage at a huge variety of charges big and small. – Marketplace narrowed the submissions down to five fees that affect most Canadians. The five finalists will be announced on the season premiere, Canada\u2019s Dumbest Charge, and viewers can vote for which fee takes the (dubious) top honour. (The special one-hour premiere airs on Friday, Oct. 17 at 8 p.m. \/ 8:30 p.m. in Newfoundland and Labrador. Join the discussion on Twitter using the hashtag #dumbcharge.) – While Marketplace was poring through the submissions, it came across some shocking fees that seemed especially outrageous. While these didn\u2019t make the final five, here are some of the most ridiculous fees that Canadians are paying: – The fee\u00a0you didn\u2019t expect: Charged for takeout – <\/strong>Want those leftovers? One submission pointed to a local restaurant\u2019s doggy-bag fee, charging people who want to get their uneaten food wrapped up to go. – \u201cIt’s only $2, but [the restaurant] charges that much to take leftover food (not very good food) home,\u201d the submission from Vancouver read. – The fee for doing (almost) nothing: Salad set-up fee – <\/strong>A woman \u00a0from Edmonton called out a catering company that charged a \u201csalad set-up fee\u201d of $7.50. – \u201cWhen I accompanied the catering staff to the room where we were setting up for a meeting, I watched the young man with the salad – he took the plastic wrap off the bowl, and walked away. I asked him if there was anything left to do for the salad “set-up” and he said “Nope.” That was it. $7.50 to take the plastic wrap off a bowl of salad\u2026 hmmm\u2026\u201d – The fee that feels cruel: Permission fee to watch dog euthanization – <\/strong>Many people were especially upset when they were charged fees that seemed inappropriate or insulting. One man complained that when he took his dog to the vet to be euthanized, he was charged a fee because he wanted to be in the room for his pet\u2019s last moments. That fee? $50. – The fee for absolutely every small cost: Staple and paperclip fee – <\/strong>One of the most ridiculous submissions takes nickel-and-diming to a new level. One man complained of being charged precise amounts for every office supply his lawyer used. – \u201c[I was] charged separately for staples ($0.07 each) and paperclips ($0.12 each) on my legal bill for doing up a will.\u201d – The simply unfair fee: Wheelchair taxi fee – <\/strong>One submission called out a cab company for charging extra to take his mobility equipment in the car. – \u201cTaxis that charge $5.00 extra per trip because I use a wheelchair.\u201d – (The special one-hour premiere of Marketplace, featuring Canada’s Dumbest Charge,\u00a0airs on Friday, Oct. 17 at 8 p.m. \/ 8:30 p.m. in Newfoundland and Labrador.

Canada Post court challenge launched to save home mail delivery\u00a0<\/span> { *”The union representing Canada’s postal workers is hoping the courts\u00a0will reverse Canada Post’s\u00a0decision to stop delivering mail door-to-door in urban centres. – With termination\u00a0notices rolling out across the country, the Canadian Union of Postal Workers, along with groups representing seniors and the disabled, are\u00a0launching a Federal Court challenge. – “The reaction was immediate from every part of this country,”\u00a0said\u00a0Denis\u00a0Lemelin, the union’s national president, at a press conference in Ottawa Thursday. – \u200b”Today we want to thank the people of this country, because people care about the postal service,” he said. – “Postal service is here to stay,” he said,\u00a0vowing to maintain a “public post office” as well as home\u00a0delivery. – Lemelin said the December 2013 decision<\/a>, which was supported by the Harper government, was announced without prior consultation with the public or postal workers. – Court injunction possible<\/strong> – The challenge has been finalized and could\u00a0be filed in Federal Court “within the week,”\u00a0constitutional lawyer Paul Cavalluzzo told the press conference. \u00a0Other applicants are still deciding\u00a0whether to join the case. – After the challenge has been filed, an injunction could stop service reductions until the court rules. >>—-><\/p>\n
