Fool's Gold (2008): The Vangor Family History

The clip The Vangor family history from Fool's Gold (2008) Where every known record, official transcript and royal decree... ...relating to the fleets has been kept for centuries. At first it was for fun, but then we decided to look up the Aurelia... ...because of the cannon we'd found in Florida, and it became our pet project. Especially when we learned the captain was an 18-year-old kid named Sebastian Vangor. Who we also discovered was the illegitimate son... ...of Captain General Don Juan Ubilla of the Capitana... ...and his Mexican mistress, Francesca Vangor. We thought it was an interesting sidebar and really didn't think much more of it... ...until Tess found this very obscure Spanish book published in 1905... ...titled, The Vangors: an 18th Century Family. It was a collection of letters. So why is this important? Because the Vangors controlled the mule train that transported the Dowry... ...over the mountains from the Pacific to the Caribbean... ...and then loaded it onto Spanish galleons here in Veracruz. So I'm reading this, and all of a sudden I start hyperventilating... ...because there it is right in front of me in Ubilla's last letter to Francesca. He wrote: "My faith in the Aurelia is that she is swift and light... ...and can outrun the storms we will most certainly encounter. But it is my faith in Sebastian that knows no bounds. Our son is good and strong and wiser than this old fool... ...who leaves your bed more and more reluctantly. The glory of the Spanish Crown rests in his capable hands." So... ...Ubilla pulled a switch. Mm. With the Vangors' help. And moved the Queen's Dowry from the Capitana to the supply ship. Because? The Capitana was already way overloaded... ...so it was very heavy and very slow. It wasn't just hurricanes they had to worry about. British warships, French privateers, you name it.

I Went To Visit The Roses - James Yorkston & Big Eyes Family Players (Music Video)

James Yorkston, resident of the East Neuk of Fife, returns in the company of The Big Eyes Family Players with a new album of traditional songs from the length and breadth of the Great Britain & Ireland and one tune from Galicia in Spain. After a decade which has seen folk music morph into nu-folk, mobile phone-ad folk, mortgage-folk, smoothie-folk and so on, Yorkston has reached back into the tradition of song and place and drawn a line in the sand. I Went To Visit The Roses A second Irish one from Peter Kennedys collection. Again, I was initially drawn by the lyric so built a melody around it. There are alternative lyrics where the hero is seen as not quite so polite, but this was the first one I came across, so it made sense to stick to it. The harmonium in the middle sections was recorded on an old English instrument with Mouse Proof pedals, which I found in the street in Edinburgh. It takes a fair bit of fit-blawin mouse proof or not, its bellows are holier than thou.-I Went To Visit The Roses

Q&A: Coptic Christians on film sparking protests

(AP Photo/Nick Ut)

(AP) ? The California man who made "Innocence of Muslims," a film denigrating Islam and the Prophet Muhammad, is a Coptic Christian. The film has sparked protests in the Middle East and is implicated in an attack that killed the U.S. ambassador to Libya and other Americans. Here's a look at the religion and reaction to the film:

WHO ARE COPTIC CHRISTIANS?

Coptic Christians belong to the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria, the largest Christian church in Egypt. The church was founded by Saint Mark, who authored one of the gospels. The church belongs to the Oriental Orthodox family of churches, which has been a distinct church body since the Council of Chalcedon in 451, when it took a different position over Christological theology from that of the Eastern Orthodox Church. Coptic Christians comprise about 9 percent of Egypt's population. Many Egyptian Christians fled to the U.S. to escape what they say is religious discrimination in the majority Muslim nation. Coptic churches dot the American landscape, with large communities in California, New Jersey, the Midwest and Florida.

WHAT'S THEIR REACTION TO THE FILM?

His Grace Bishop Serapion of the Coptic Orthodox Diocese of Los Angeles, Southern California and Hawaii, said Thursday he doesn't support the views portrayed in the movie and he also condemned the murders of the U.S. ambassador and three others.

Serapion said in a statement that the diocese "strongly rejects dragging the respectable Copts of the Diaspora in the latest production of an inflammatory movie about the prophet of Islam. The producers of this movie should be responsible for their actions. The name of our blessed parishioners should not be associated with the efforts of individuals who have ulterior motives."

Serapion added: "Holistically blaming the Copts for the production of this movie is equivalent to holistically blaming Muslims for the actions of a few fanatics. Even though Christians often face persecution, injustice and calls for open attacks over the airwaves, we reject violence in all its forms."

The Rev. Joseph Boules, a priest at St. Mary and St. Verena Church in Anaheim, Calif., said no one in the Coptic Orthodox community knows the filmmaker and the church had nothing to do with the movie. The filmmaker could be an Egyptian Catholic or Eyptian evangelical, he said, noting that the word "Coptic" is often used in to denote Egyptian Christians from any Christian denomination.

Parishioners are worried about their security and at least one church in the nearby city of Orange on Wednesday received a visit from police officers, who advised them to keep their church locked in case of retaliation, Boules said.

Pope arrives in Lebanon with message of peace

BEIRUT (AP) ? Pope Benedict XVI arrived in Lebanon on Friday and urged peace at a time of great turmoil in the Middle East, saying the import of weapons to Syria during the country's civil war is a "grave sin."

The three-day visit comes as war rages in neighboring Syria and in the aftermath of a mob attack that killed several Americans in Libya, including the U.S. ambassador.

"I have come to Lebanon as a pilgrim of peace," the pope said upon his arrival in Beirut. "As a friend of God and as a friend of men."

Earlier, speaking to reporters aboard his plane, the pope called for an end to weapons imports to Syria and called them a sin. Syria's rebels have appealed for weapons shipments to help them fight the regime.

He also praised the Arab Spring uprisings, which have ousted four long-time dictators.

"It is the desire for more democracy, for more freedom, for more cooperation and for a renewed Arab identity," the pope said.

The pontiff was welcomed by top leaders including the Lebanese president, prime minister and parliament speaker as well as Christian and Muslim religious leaders. Cannons fired a 21-shots salute for the pope.

Lebanese authorities are enacting stringent security measures, suspending weapons permits except for politicians' bodyguards and confining the visit to central Lebanon and the northern Christian areas.

The visit brings the pope to the nation with the largest percentage of Christians in the Mideast ? nearly 40 percent of Lebanon's 4 million people, with Maronite Catholics the largest sect. Lebanon is the only Arab country with a Christian head of state.

"We are hopeful that your visit to our country will bring good to the Lebanese and the people of this region, including eastern Christians who are rooted in this land," President Michel Suleiman said in a welcoming speech. "We welcome you on a sacred land."

Army and police patrols were stationed along the airport road, which was decorated with Lebanese and Vatican flags as well as posters of the pope and "welcome" signs in different languages.

"Welcome to the land of resistance," read some Arabic banners, signed by Lebanon's militant Hezbollah group.

The pope said he never considered canceling the trip for security reasons, adding that "no one ever advised (me) to renounce this trip and personally, I have never considered this."

The pope denounced religious fundamentalism, calling it "a falsification of religion"

Benedict, the third pope to visit Lebanon after Paul VI in 1964 and John Paul II in 1997, will be addressing concerns by the region's bishops over the plight of Christians in the Middle East. War, political instability and economic hardships have driven thousands from their traditional communities, dating to early Christianity in the Holy Land, Iraq and elsewhere.

"Let me assure you that I pray especially for the many people who suffer in this region," he said upon arrival.

After a ceremony at the airport, Bendict's convoy drove through Beirut as army aircraft flew overhead for protection. The pope was on his way to the mountain town of Harisa where he will stay at the Vatican embassy.

The papal visit comes amid fears that Syria's conflict might spill over to Lebanon. Clashes in Lebanon between Syrian groups over the past months have claimed the lives of more than two dozen people and left scores wounded.

The Christian community in Lebanon is divided between supporters and opponents of Syrian President Bashar Assad.

Among Assad's supporters is former Lebanese prime minister and army commander Michel Aoun, a strong ally of the militant Hezbollah group. Hezbollah's leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah welcomed the pontiff's visit, describing it as "extraordinary and historic."

"I cannot forget the sad and painful events which have affected your beautiful country along the years," Benedict XVI said, referring to Lebanon's 1975-90 civil war that left about 150,000 people dead.

"Looking at your county, I also come symbolically to all countries of the Middle East as a pilgrim of peace, as a friend of God and as a friend of all inhabitants of all the countries of the region, whatever their origins and beliefs," he said.

The turmoil stemming from the Arab Spring has deeply unsettled the Middle East's Christian population, which fears being in the cross-fire of rival Muslim groups.

The pope's visit also comes after several Arab countries, including Saudi Arabia and Qatar, have urged their citizens not to visit Lebanon because of security concerns over the recent violence.

But the pope's spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, told reporters this week that the trip has never been in question and that Benedict has made clear he expects to be warmly welcomed. The government has declared Saturday an official holiday in Benedict's honor and given the day off to tens of thousands of workers and students so they can greet him.

Lombardi said Benedict may also meet with Syrian refugees, but that has not been confirmed. The U.N. refugee agency said Tuesday the number of Syrian refugees seeking its help now tops a quarter-million, with at least 66,915 in Lebanon.

The 85-year-old Benedict is likely to get a full briefing on the region's problems when he meets with Lebanese political and religious leaders and his own bishops from the region.

Vatican spokesman Lombardi did not rule out that the pope would meet some supporters of Hezbollah, a Shiite militant group that has risen steadily over the decades from anti-Israel resistance group into Lebanon's most powerful military and political force. The U.S. considers Hezbollah a terrorist organization. Lombardi declined to say what the Vatican's position is on the group.

The Lebanese army has imposed a 10-day ban on gliding over the coastal town of Jounieh and the mountain area of Harisa and its surroundings. Harisa, famous for its giant statue of the Virgin Mary, is the site of the Vatican ambassador's residence, where Benedict will stay. The main public event of his visit is Mass on Sunday on the Beirut waterfront.

LA doctors, patients sue Health Net for denying claims

(Reuters) - The group representing Los Angeles doctors has joined with two patients to sue Health Net Inc for denying claims based on the insurer's definition of "medical necessity."

"They are denying these treatments because they are expensive," said Rocky Delgadillo, chief executive at the Los Angeles County Medical Association, which represents more than 6,500 physicians.

The lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, accuses Health Net of unfair and unlawful business practices. The managed care plan operates mostly in the western United States and has 2.3 million members in California.

"Medical care is complex, and sometimes there are differing medical opinions as to what constitutes medically necessary care," Health Net said in a statement on Thursday. "In these instances, Health Net carefully follows the guidelines established by the state of California's two regulators, the Department of Managed Health Care and the Department of Insurance."

One plaintiff in the lawsuit, Robert Mendoza, said he was forced to raise $30,000 from funds set aside for income taxes and proceeds from his wife's life insurance policy to pay for surgery for a rare type of prostate cancer after Health Net denied his request for coverage.

Kalana Penner, the other plaintiff, said she suffered from debilitating back, neck and head pain for 10 years before being treated with "occipital nerve stimulation."

The treatment was successful, but Health Net turned down the 33-year-old mother's request for a permanent device. That decision was reversed last year after the California Department of Insurance ruled that it should be covered.

"It's been life changing," said she said at a press conference in Los Angeles. "I was crippled by this disorder."

Executives from Chinese tech firms testify before Congress, deny equipment facilitates spying

WASHINGTON - Two major Chinese technology companies on Thursday denied allegations that some of their equipment is designed to facilitate spying, but they struggled to convince U.S. lawmakers that they are independent from the dictates of Beijing's communist government.

Executives of Huawei Technologies Ltd. and ZTE Corp testified before the House Intelligence Committee in a rare appearance by Chinese business leaders before a congressional panel.

The committee is completing a yearlong investigation into whether the companies pose a risk to U.S. national security. They are among the world's largest suppliers of telecommunications gear and want to expand their operations in the U.S.

Huawei is a private company, founded by a former Chinese military engineer. ZTE Corp. is partly state-owned.

Huawei is the world's second largest supplier of telecommunications network gear, operating in 140 countries. ZTE Corp is the world's fourth largest mobile phone manufacturer, with 90,000 employees worldwide. The espionage fears, however, have hampered both companies' expansion in the U.S., particularly into the lucrative provision of network infrastructure.

The committee's top Democrat, Rep. C.A. "Dutch" Ruppersberger, said the U.S. National Counterintelligence Executive, a government agency, had issued a report detailing the volume of Chinese-enabled cyberattacks and that the actions of China's government in this regard were the biggest obstacle to the tech giants expanding in the U.S. market.

"If you want to do business in the United States," Ruppersberger said, "then you have to tell your Chinese government to stop cyberattacking our businesses."

Both companies denied being influenced by the Chinese government, receiving special treatment or posing a security threat. Company officials said it would be bad for their global business to compromise their customers' networks to any third party.

Huawei corporate senior vice-president Charles Ding said that would amount to "corporate suicide."

The companies cited Chinese state secrecy laws as the reason for failing to supply all corporate documents requested in the investigation. The committee chairman, Rep. Mike Rogers, criticized the companies for that and said their testimony failed to satisfy concerns that the companies were subject to Chinese state influence.

"Huawei and ZTE provide a wealth of opportunities for Chinese intelligence agencies to insert malicious hardware or software implants into critical telecommunications components and systems. And under Chinese law, ZTE and Huawei would likely be required to co-operate," Rogers said.

Rogers said the committee has received multiple reports that Huawei's equipment has been known to "beacon" back to China, or relay data without the consent of the user. He cited unnamed sources overseas as saying that anomalies of equipment from both Huawei and ZTE appeared designed to allow unauthorized access.

Both executives denied that. ZTE senior vice-president for North America and Europe, Zhu Jinyun, said all major high-tech firms periodically provide patches to fine-tune their software. "A bug is not a back door," he said.

"One person's bug is yet another person's back door," Rogers responded.

Rep. Adam Schiff said the companies had a large burden to show they have sufficient independence to "say no" to the Chinese government, as state security law requires them to allow access to their communication equipment if requested. Schiff criticized both executives for professing not to be familiar with that law, although they said they would not accede to such a request.

Both Chinese executives said their companies were willing to co-operate with efforts to improve cybersecurity and allow independent testing of their equipment.

They said it was unfair to single out companies based in China and exclude from scrutiny Western companies also operating and sourcing equipment from China.

The committee had requested exhaustive information from the companies, including details of meetings with government and Communist Party officials over the past five years and credit received through state institutions.

Each executive agreed to supply to the House committee a list of past and present members of their company's Communist Party committee, a body that they said is mandatory for companies operating in China. That, however, did not appear to appease committee members.

Espionage concerns have hurt the companies' before.

Huawei had to unwind its purchase of a U.S. computer company, 3Leaf Systems, last year after it failed to win approval from a government security panel. Australia in April barred Huawei from bidding to work on a planned high-speed Internet network due to concerns about cyberattacks traced to China.

ZTE has faced allegations about the sale of banned U.S.-sanctioned computer equipment to Iran, and the FBI is probing reports that the company obstructed a U.S. Commerce Department investigation into the sales.

Asked if ZTE had purposefully destroyed documents, Zhu said the company "would never do something like that." Zhu also said ZTE has communicated to the U.S. government its plans to reduce its operations in Iran.

The House committee says it will finalize its investigation and issue a public report in early October.

Dark energy is real, say astronomers

ScienceDaily (Sep. 11, 2012) ? Dark energy, a mysterious substance thought to be speeding up the expansion of the Universe is really there, according to a team of astronomers at the University of Portsmouth and LMU University Munich.

After a two-year study led by Tommaso Giannantonio and Robert Crittenden, scientists conclude that the likelihood of its existence stands at 99.996 per cent. Their findings are published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.

Professor Bob Nichol, a member of the Portsmouth team, said: "Dark energy is one of the great scientific mysteries of our time, so it isn't surprising that so many researchers question its existence.

"But with our new work we're more confident than ever that this exotic component of the Universe is real -- even if we still have no idea what it consists of."

Over a decade ago, astronomers observing the brightness of distant supernovae realised that the expansion of the Universe appeared to be accelerating. The acceleration is attributed to the repulsive force associated with dark energy now thought to make up 73 per cent of the content of the cosmos. The researchers who made this discovery received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 2011, but the existence of dark energy remains a topic of hot debate.

Many other techniques have been used to confirm the reality of dark energy but they are either indirect probes of the accelerating Universe or susceptible to their own uncertainties. Clear evidence for dark energy comes from the Integrated Sachs Wolfe effect named after Rainer Sachs and Arthur Wolfe.

The Cosmic Microwave Background, the radiation of the residual heat of the Big Bang, is seen all over the sky. In 1967 Sachs and Wolfe proposed that light from this radiation would become slightly bluer as it passed through the gravitational fields of lumps of matter, an effect known as gravitational redshift.

In 1996, Robert Crittenden and Neil Turok, now at the Perimeter Institute in Canada, took this idea to the next level, suggesting that astronomers could look for these small changes in the energy of the light, or photons, by comparing the temperature of the radiation with maps of galaxies in the local Universe.

In the absence of dark energy, or a large curvature in the Universe, there would be no correspondence between these two maps (the distant cosmic microwave background and relatively closer distribution of galaxies), but the existence of dark energy would lead to the strange, counter-intuitive effect where the cosmic microwave background photons would gain energy as they travelled through large lumps of mass.

The Integrated Sachs Wolfe effect was first detected in 2003 and was immediately seen as corroborative evidence for dark energy, featuring in the 'Discovery of the year' in Science magazine. But the signal is weak as the expected correlation between maps is small and so some scientists suggested it was caused by other sources such as the dust in our galaxy. Since the first Integrated Sachs Wolfe papers, several astronomers have questioned the original detections of the effect and thus called some of the strongest evidence yet for dark energy into question.

In the new paper, the product of nearly two years of work, the team have re-examined all the arguments against the Integrated Sachs Wolfe detection as well as improving the maps used in the original work. In their painstaking analysis, they conclude that there is a 99.996 per cent chance that dark energy is responsible for the hotter parts of the cosmic microwave background maps (or the same level of significance as the recent discovery of the Higgs boson).

"This work also tells us about possible modifications to Einstein's theory of General Relativity," notes Tommaso Giannantonio, lead author of the present study.

"The next generation of cosmic microwave background and galaxy surveys should provide the definitive measurement, either confirming general relativity, including dark energy, or even more intriguingly, demanding a completely new understanding of how gravity works."

Verizon intros Mobile Security app for Android, wants to keep you safe

McAfee's been offering mobile protection services on Android for a while now, but Verizon's taking it a step further and bringing an application tailored specifically for its own customers with help from the Intel-owned outfit. The Mobile Security app -- which is also powered by Asurion -- aims to assist the Big Red crowd by protecting their devices from many "digital and physical threats," giving Android (2.1 or later) users the ability to lock, set up alarms, wipe data and locate handsets remotely. As it stands, Verizon's splitting the Mobile Security utility into three different setups, including a free-of-charge Basic, the Premium for $2 per month and, for those who want to be extra careful, a Premium with Total Equipment Coverage that adds a $1 monthly charge to the current TEC fees. We'll let your levels of paranoia decide whether or not you actually need any of these -- but alas, the link is down below for folks interested in checking out the shielding app.
