UPDATED: NSA Denies Claims That It Knew About Heartbleed And Did Nothing
from the well-that's-comforting dept
Update: The NSA has denied the Bloomberg report, briefly stating that the agency "was not aware of the recently identified Heartbleed vulnerability until it was made public." We'll continue to update as more information emerges.
The internet is still reeling from the discovery of the Heartbleed bug, and yesterday we wondered if the NSA knew about it and for how long. Today, Bloomberg is reporting that the agency did indeed know about Heartbleed for at least the past two years, and made regular use of it to obtain passwords and data.
While it's not news that the NSA hunts down and utilizes vulnerabilities like this, the extreme nature of Heartbleed is going to draw more scrutiny to the practice than ever before. As others have noted, failing to reveal the bug so it could be fixed is contrary to at least part of the agency's supposed mission:
Ordinary Internet users are ill-served by the arrangement because serious flaws are not fixed, exposing their data to domestic and international spy organizations and criminals, said John Pescatore, director of emerging security trends at the SANS Institute, a Bethesda, Maryland-based cyber-security training organization.
"If you combine the two into one government agency, which mission wins?" asked Pescatore, who formerly worked in security for the NSA and the U.S. Secret Service. "Invariably when this has happened over time, the offensive mission wins."
There is, in fact, a massive hypocrisy here: the default refrain of NSA apologists is that all these questionable things they do are absolutely necessary to protect Americans from outside threats, yet they leave open a huge security hole that is just as easily exploited by foreign entities. Or consider the cybersecurity bill CISPA, which was designed to allow private companies to share network security information with the intelligence community, and vice versa, supposedly to assist in detecting and fixing security holes and cyber attacks of various kinds. But, especially after this revelation about Heartbleed, can there be any doubt that the intelligence community is far more interested in using backdoors than it is in closing them?

After a year of debate about what many viewed was an offensive name, this New Hampshire pond, pictured during winter months, has been officially renamed Carleton Pond.
Jew Pond, a small, unremarkable, yet controversial body of water in New Hampshire, has been officially renamed Carleton Pond, which many had been calling it anyway.
Residents from Mont Vernon, N.H., had pejoratively dubbed it "Jew Pond" in the 1920s after two Jewish businessmen from Boston bought a hotel there, the Los Angeles Times reported. The businessmen wanted to reopen the hotel for Jewish guests, who had been banned from the hotel – and from most hotels in New Hampshire.
(A hotel brochure, unearthed by journalist Katelyn Dobbs for a 13-minute documentary she produced, noted: "Applications from Hebrews not desired.")
The pond had been given other names – Spring Pond and Fire Pond among them – but "Jew Pond" made its way onto federal maps in the 1960s, the Nashua Telegraph reported.
It wasn't until 2010, when an algae bloom prompted the state to close off the lake that Jew Pond made headlines.
"A lot of us kind of cringed that our town would be characterized as having a pond that could be offensive to people and viewed as anti-Semitic," Rich Masters, a Mont Vernon health officer, said in Dobbs' documentary. Masters ultimately petitioned the town to change the pond's name because he found it disrespectful.
"We thought it wasn't a very good name for a pond," Masters said. "I spoke to some people with a Jewish tradition, and they were not happy about it either."
Watch the most-viewed videos on NBCNews.com
Jeff Fladen, director of the New Hampshire Jewish Federation, told Dobbs that hearing the name "Jew Pond" reminded him of offensive phrases such as "Jewing down the price," or talking about a "Jew lawyer" or a "Jew politician."
"If the name had been Jewish pond," Fladen said, "we would not be having this conversation."
Jew Pond gained national attention and even Daily Show host Jon Stewart did a bit on the pond in March, suggesting, jokingly, that it might be inhabited by a mythical and neurotic creature (Woody Allen).

But some Mont Vernon residents didn't find the pond's name offensive.
"As long as there are old people here we will always call it Jew Pond," a woman identified as Mrs. Wilkins of the Historical Society told Dobbs. "In this day and age we do not consider it an insult. It's just history."
That said, Wilkins noted, the name "probably was an insult."
After a year of debate, Mont Vernon residents overwhelmingly voted to change the pond's name to Carleton Pond after George O. Carleton who donated it to the town. The U.S. Geological Survey agreed and, on Friday, officially changed its name.

14-21 days. Delight in the freshest-of-the-fresh, cilantro microgreens with that unique flavor, unparalleled by any other herb. The intense flavor balances well with other strong-flavored ingredients, or kicks up the culinary experience when paired with mild-flavored dishes.
Cilantro microgreens can be grown indoors at any time of year and are a nutrient-packed way to get your "green fix" in the dead of winter. Move containers as needed for best light exposure and temperature. Harvest when first true leaves appear and enjoy! Detailed sowing instructions inside packet.
This packet sows up to two 10"x 20" flats
Seedling Image
Days to Emerge:
Seed Depth:
Seed Spacing:
When to sow outside: Not recommended. Microgreens are fragile, and outside soil makes them difficult to clean.
When to start inside: RECOMMENDED. Sow indoors any time of year. For a continual crop, sow every 10 to 14 days.
Special sowing instructions: Use a shallow container with 1"-2" of potting soil. Sow seeds in a single layer, and cover with 1/2" of soil.
Harvesting: When seedlings emerge, the first pair of leaves to show are the cotyledons, which can look very different from the leaves that follow, called "true" leaves. Cilantro microgreens are ready to harvest 14 to 21 days after sowing, when they have cotyledons and a true leaf, if desired. Slow growers or cool growing temperatures may require more time. Harvest by cutting just above the soil line.

Greg Pettit must enjoy talking about meta topics on my podcast as much as I do. After helping me on my shows about game themes (for grown-ups or otherwise!), he told me he'd been thinking about the value of a boardgame. Not boardgaming, the entire hobby, but an individual title. And not in a strictly dollars & cents way, but more of a holistic, personal value of an individual game. Ever read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance? It might be good background for Greg's thoughts in this episode.
We start off with the usual--but false--comparison of the cost of a boardgame compared to "dinner & a movie." If you've been in the hobby for long, no doubt you've come across this one. However, that comparison breaks down quickly, to the point where it's only importance may be as a rationalization (to your spouse?) for buying more games! No, when thinking about the value of an individual game, our thoughts quickly converged on the time we spent playing the game, and the quality of that time. It's not simply a matter of multiplying game length x number of plays to get some total number of hours. It's not as mechanical or clinical as that. From there Greg is able to point out the value a game can have regardless of the number of plays you have of it...or that game has in it.
Just as much fun as the zen-like discussions about game values are every gamer's personal stories about games that mean something special to them. That's because we came to the conclusion that a game's value is multi-dimensional, sometimes difficult to describe, and very often personal to the gamer. Maybe it relates to a particular game experience playing it with friends, a theme that resonates so strongly, or even the effort it took to acquire the game in the first place.
My only regret about this episode are some of my opening words, where I praise Greg for helping me get these podcasts out with more regularity. Since I haven't really done that, it makes it sound like Greg bears some responsibility for that. Of course that isn't true! This episode was actually recorded three months ago, and it's for my own reasons that I didn't post it until now. Why I do this to myself and my friends is a podcast for another time.

Today, health insurance is a necessity for most families. Health insurance helps subscribers pay for a portion of most routine and unexpected medical costs. There are many varieties of health insurance on the market and choosing the right one for an individual's personal situation can seem like a daunting task. Some plans can pay directly to the care provider while others require the subscriber to pay the provider first and then submit the receipt to be reimbursed through the insurance plan. Wirefly is available to help subscribers compare health insurance plans in Locust Dale, VA and receive free quotes online.
Most residents in Locust Dale, VA usually receive health insurance through their employer sponsored plan or through private insurance. Senior citizens may be eligible to receive their health insurance through Medicare while families falling into the low-income brackets can usually get their insurance through Medicaid programs. Medicare and Medicaid programs are often less expensive than other private health insurance plans.
It is so hard for a person to predict what he might need in the form of health care services. People can evaluate what has occurred in recent years to anticipate what might happen in the years to come. If an individual is health and does not go to the doctor very often a low-cost plan will probably be adequate. However, if a person suffers from numerous health problems and are forced to go to the doctor regularly, they will need insurance that provides excellent coverage.
Catastrophic only insurance is the cheapest type of insurance offered in Locust Dale, VA. Individuals who are healthy and do not need regular visits to the doctor might want this type of insurance coverage. If a person has an emergency, this insurance will pay some of the bill. However, people who regularly participate in high-risk activities or who might have a dangerous profession, will want insurance coverage who will pay for trips to the emergency room or visits to the doctor.
If a person wants a low deductible, he will pay higher premiums for coverage. If an individual wants full coverage health insurance, he will pay a higher price each month. However, the insurance will pay most of the bill when medical issues arise. With full coverage, the insured should be able to see a doctor for whatever is needed, or he will be able to visit the emergency room for drastic situations. Therefore, when considering an insurance plan in Locust Dale, VA, people need to look at their way of life and past health problems to determine what they need to pay for health insurance. It is important for people to have basic coverage, and then they can decide what they can afford to add.
There are many different types of health insurance plans that can be purchased in Locust Dale, VA. While most offer different levels of coverage, some will offer similar levels of coverage that make the plans appear exactly the same. However, there are key differences that everyone must look out for, even if the coverage types are the same. For one, the premium may be lower on one plan than the other. The flexibility of each plan might also vary. Some of the main health insurance plans available include an HMO, PPO, POS, HSA, HRA, MSA, and FSA. Each of these types of plans are slightly different from one another.
For instance, an HMO is a health maintenance organization plan, which means that the individual covered by this plan will need to travel to their primary care physician for all healthcare-related needs. Under this plan, the individual is usually able to select a primary care physician in Locust Dale, VA from a vast pool of options. If ever the individual needs to see an ear, nose, and throat specialist, they must first seek a referral from the primary care doctor. This applies to all specialists. These plans tend to come with lower premium amounts but with a limited network of doctors. Despite these small downsides, deductibles are eliminated and out-of-pocket costs are kept low.
A Preferred Provider Organization, or PPO, plan differs slightly from an HMO in that the individual who purchased the plan can choose from a much larger network of health care providers in Locust Dale, VA. When selecting a primary care doctor, the individual has sole choice of which one they use, while no referrals are necessary to see additional specialists. While this insurance plan offers a substantial amount of coverage for in-network costs, it's still possible to receive a limited amount of coverage when visiting a doctor or hospital that's out-of-network. These plans tend to come with copay options and deductibles as well as slightly higher premiums than an HMO.
A Point of Service, or POS, plan is crafted to be a combination of the previous two plans. The network is rather sizable and provides the individual with a choice of which primary care physician to see. There are no deductibles and very small copayments when visiting a healthcare provider in-network. However, both of these are very high when the doctor or hospital is out-of-network.
While the three previous types of insurance plans are among the most popular, there are also plenty of others to choose from, including a health reimbursement account, a health savings accounts, a medical savings account, and a health flexible spending arrangement. With any of these accounts, the individual's employer will set money into the tax-exempt account to cover any medical expenses. This money can be used for a wide range of healthcare costs, though is not always available for over-the-counter medications. If some of the money is not used during the course of the year, certain plans allow this money to be placed into the account for next year.
The amount of money you are required to pay each month to maintain your health insurance coverage in Locust Dale, VA is referred to as the premium. The premium will not be returned to you under any circumstances, even if you do not use your insurance. Any additional money you are responsible for paying prior to your insurance company covering their agreed portion is known as the deductible.
Deductibles differ from out-of-pocket expenses. The deductible describes the annual amount you are responsible for paying before your insurance start to cover costs. The term 'out-of-pocket' refers to the amount of money you need to pay before your insurance company will cover 100 percent of your bill.
With each new year, deductibles and out of pocket usually start fresh. Any expenses from the prior year can have an impact on these costs moving forward. This means that if you have a $4,000 deductible and you spent $2,500 out-of-pocket in the previous year, your out-of-pocket expenses will reset to $0 and the $2,500 will not roll over if you keep the same plan. Certain plans in Locust Dale, VA allow exceptions to this rule and allow you to transfer your paid deductible amount from the prior year towards the first portion of the new year.
Co-payments refers to your financial requirements in terms of medical visits and services. If you have a copayment of $20 to see your primary care doctor, then you will be required to pay $20 each time you visit your physician. After you cover the co-pay, the insurance pays the remaining balance as long as the services are covered under your plan. Copayments do not count towards your deductible.
You may also be offered a maximum lifetime benefit by your insurance provider. This term refers to the highest amount of money that your provider will pay in total for your medical expenses. Upon reaching the maximum limit, your insurance company will stop paying for any medical claims.
The health insurance options that are open to you in Locust Dale, VA are affected by your current employment situation. If you are employed at a larger company, it is likely that you will qualify for their group health insurance plan. Generally, this is a more affordable option than choosing individual health care. However, no one is required to participate in these specific plans.
If you are currently unemployed or are self-employed, you are eligible to purchase private health insurance. If you are an unemployed senior citizen, you are eligible to obtain financial assistance provided by the government known as Medicare. Individuals with an income that falls below average have the option to apply for a government funded program known as Medicaid.
It is crucial to double check with your physician to see which health insurance policies are covered in Locust Dale, VA. If you wish to see a particular doctor, it is important to verify that they are covered under your plan. Additionally, let your physician know if your plan is altered. Check with your health insurance provider about any questions or concerns you have in regards to your coverage.

The King of Pop still has one major performance in him, after a judge approved a big movie deal.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff approved a deal between Michael Jackson's estate, concert promoter AEG Live and Columbia Pictures on Friday and announced his ruling Monday.
Plans call for using feature footage of Jackson's final rehearsals for the London comeback concerts the star was planning to do when he died June 25. The film could also include videos prepared for display during the "This is It" shows. Beckloff had until Monday to approve the film and allowed Jackson's mother, Katherine, to review the contracts and raise any objections.
The judge ordered Katherine Jackson not to discuss publicly deals between her son's estate and AEG.

Want Exposure To Mexico's Energy Reform? J.P. Morgan Picks
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
Mexico's landmark energy reform is largely priced in, says J.P. Morgan.
Here are analysts Nur Cristiani, Pedro Martins Junior, Emy Shayo Cherman and Diego Celedon:
Part of the reason why the Mexican market (at 19.3x 12m fwd P/E) didn't de-rate in light of the earnings and economic disappointment in 2013, in our opinion, had to do with expectations on reforms, thus being already priced in.
The iShares MSCI Mexico Capped ETF (EWW) lost 5.1% this year.
What the Mexico's Senate has passed is just a guideline. The secondary laws, to be passed within the next four months, will provide the details as to "whom, where, how and for how much contracts will be awarded to private investors."
In addition, any real benefit from the energy reform is not likely to manifest itself until 2015.
But for those of us who want to know which stocks will likely benefit in the long-run- that is, post, here is J.P. Morgan's list:
Mexichem (MEXCHEM.MX) – first-mover advantage over current JV with Pemex and lower input prices;
Alfa (ALFAA.MX) – subsidiaries Alpek and Newpek could see a direct impact;
Braskem (BAK) – could benefit positively from supply risk reduction and transparency upon JV with Pemex, while increasing competition in the sector could be a risk for the company;
Tenaris (TS) – could benefit from the expected increase in drilling activity;
Grupo Mexico (GMEXICOB.MX) – reform could have a positive impact on its infrastructure business as the company already has contracting relationships related to oil platform leasing with Pemex, and on its railroad business from increasing movement of O&G derivatives;
Kansas City Southern (KSU) – likely would benefit from industrial activity dynamics increasing its transportation volumes;
Cemex (CX) – likely would benefit from the cement demand associated with the expected capex in infrastructure.
To this list the broker added banks, saying new projects will require financing. They prefer Banorte (GFNORTEO.MX) on its greater exposure to industrial lending with an SME focus.

Facebook and Yahoo may remember the year differently but both have put out their annual recaps.
Tuesday Facebook shared with the world the most shared news stories of 2011 and Thursday Yahoo took its turn.
The Sunnyvale company gripped in reports of its imminent sale released the top trending stories of the year based on billions of searches on its website.
And the Bay Area was well represented on the list.
"Interestingly, the top search term of 2011 didn't go to a person or a news event, but a technological marvel," Yahoo summed up the results in a statement. "The iPhone led the 2011 search queries, bypassing a reality TV divorcee, a notorious criminal defendant, and America's most wanted terrorist."
Apple's wonder phone some how was more interesting to Yahoo searchers than earthquakes in Japan, the killing of Osama Bin Laden, Kim Kardashian's marriage troubles or even the death of the iPhone creater, Steve Jobs.
The top searches on Yahoo in 2011 were:
1. iPhone
2. Casey Anthony
3. Kim Kardashian
4. Katy Perry
5. Jennifer Lopez
6. Lindsay Lohan
7. American Idol
8. Jennifer Aniston
9. Japan Earthquake
10. Osama Bin Laden
The search company also released the top searched stories of the last 10 years for comparison.
They were:
• 2011: iPhone
• 2010: BP Oil Spill
• 2009: Michael Jackson
• 2008: Britney Spears
• 2007: Britney Spears
• 2006: Britney Spears
• 2005: Britney Spears
• 2004: American Idol
• 2003: KaZaA
• 2002: PlayStation 2

Poster Boy: Man or Movement?
The suddenly absurdly famous subway ad remix vandal Poster Boy is seriously committed to this "Poster Boy is a movement, not one guy" thing. Reality, or a way to avoid conviction? Attempted fact check time!
In his most recent interview today, with Vulture, PB says (via email):
Henry Matyjewicz was arrested Friday night at 7:30pm. Sent to central booking. Then sent to Rikers. He was bailed on Sunday night and was released Monday 2am. The police showed up to the "Friends We Love" event in Soho and arrested Henry for partaking in a Poster Boy installation. From the beginning it was stated that Poster Boy is not about one person. What the NYPD did do is arrest an individual who volunteered to legally collage some prints at the show...Arresting Henry for being Poster Boy is like plucking a strand of Medusa's hair.
Okay, sure, maybe it is a movement by now, but Poster Boy is one guy, as far as we can tell. He sent us this photo(shop) of himself in October:
Same guy photographed for the NY Mag story that month:
Same guy as in the video last month? Maybe. Looks similar:
But if being a movement rather than one guy will get him out of his charges, then we'll go with that.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — On Friday afternoons throughout the spring semester, more than 40 students fill the seats of the Penn State Smeal College of Business Rogers Family Trading Room for Wall Street Boot Camp — a rigorous program that prepares its participants for careers on Wall Street.
Wall Street Boot Camp is a program initiated several years ago by Robin Stevens, director of Alumni Career Services, and J. Randall Woolridge, professor of finance, to give Smeal students interested in pursuing Wall Street careers a better idea of the options available to them. Woolridge is also the Goldman Sachs and Co. and Frank P. Smeal Endowed University Fellow and president of the Nittany Lion Fund, LLC — a student-managed investment fund.
Each week, a different Wall Street professional talks about various career paths, job search skills and professional protocol and etiquette. Most of these visiting professionals are Smeal alumni, said Stevens.
"The program has made students more prepared and capable of competing against other schools. It also serves as another articulation of their dedicated interest in finance."
-- Ryan Newman '01, vice president, Investment Management Division, Goldman Sachs
Ryan Newman, vice president of the Investment Management Division of Goldman Sachs and a 2001 Smeal alumnus, visits the Wall Street Boot Camp program every year to talk about the importance of having big dreams and setting concrete goals to make sure you achieve them.
Newman said that the boot camp, along with the Rogers Family Trading Room, serves as a way to prepare Penn Staters for Wall Street careers in an experiential way.
Wall Street Boot Camp sets students apart and makes them more competitive in the Wall Street job market. The program itself is extremely competitive, Stevens says. More than 200 students applied for the 40 available spots in this year's boot camp.
Though the program isn't based on conventional work experience, it still bolsters students' resumes in significant ways, said Newman.
"The program has made students more prepared and capable of competing against other schools," Newman said. "It also serves as another articulation of their dedicated interest in finance."
At the end of the semester-long program, students who do well receive a networking list of more than 500 Penn State alumni who work on Wall Street, in addition to the connections they make with the professionals who visit every Friday.
"Speaking at Wall Street Boot Camp is a great way to connect with students who could be potential job candidates in the future," said Newman.

Peter Facinelli has taken the next step to ending his marriage to Beverly Hills 90210 star Jennie Garth.
The Twilight actor filed for divorce in L.A. County Superior Court on Wednesday, TMZ reports.
PHOTOS: Jennie Garth and Peter Facinelli
The documents list New Year's Day as their date of separation and cites "irreconcilable differences" for the split. The actor is also seeking joint physical and legal custody of their three daughters: Luca, 14, Lola, 9, and Fiona, 5.
In an interview with People, Garth said that Facinelli, whose career was taking off from the Twilight film series and Showtime's Nurse Jackie, wanted the divorce initially. "I was very resistant," she told the magazine. "I didn't want it to happen. It took me some time to come to peace with it."
Garth has filed her own response to the divorce petition, requesting that her name legally revert back to Jennifer Garth instead of Jennifer Facinelli.
Facinelli, 38, and Garth, 39, met on the set of the 1996 TV movie An Unfinished Affair and wed in 2001. Garth was previously married to musician Daniel Clark from 1994 to 1996.

Its programme of investment has included installing dual carrier HSPA+ on more than half of mobile sites, having fast backhaul to 90% of mobile sites, and - from mid 2013 – rolling out state-of-the-art Optical Transport Network (OTN) technology to the network core or 'backbone'.
Mr Quin says, "Telecom is also continuously extending our network coverage. We're co-locating on all of the Government's rural broadband initiative (RBI) sites where we don't already have coverage, and we've completed a trial over summer of free public wifi, which involved more than 140 'hotspots' rolled out to holiday destinations across the country. We have had a very positive response, and are looking at how we can make this service available to customers more widely.
"If we are successful in the 700MHz spectrum auction, 4G LTE will also allow us to significantly improve coverage in rural areas. We intend to install 4G LTE on RBI sites that we build from early 2014."
Gen-i CEO Tim Miles says, "This investment will build on our existing network capabilities, ensuring we continue to enable New Zealand businesses to find new and better ways of engaging and serving their customers in an increasingly mobile and data-centric environment.
"Together with Gen-i mobility services and the flexibility to deliver applications and services across our Smartphone Network, the rollout of 4G LTE will support our clients in doing business anytime, anywhere in the coverage areas and via a range of devices."
Telecom also announced today that it has selected Huawei to build its network of 4G-capable mobile sites – known as the eUTRAN.
Chief Technology Officer David Havercroft says, "Huawei's selection was based on two main factors. The first is that they have extensive experience, having built 73 LTE networks in 42 countries. The second is that they are truly pushing the boundaries of LTE technology.
"Over the past 3 months we have been trialling Huawei's 4G LTE technology in Auckland and Rotorua. Our testing has encompassed some very exciting new developments like 'carrier aggregation'. Carrier aggregation allows us to use two different spectrums simultaneously, and in our trials it produced maximum peak speeds of up to 250Mbps.
"While such technology is some way from launching commercially, it is very exciting to be working with a technology partner who has this level of capability, and a massive commitment to research and development that we can bring to New Zealand." Mr Havercroft says.
Cisco Systems will build the ePC (enhanced Packet Core), which processes and transports data through the network. Cisco is a global leader in mobile IP and core technology, with best in breed technology, which offers inter-operability between different vendor technologies.
As previously announced, Ericsson will build the new HSS (Home Subscriber Service) and the replacement HLR (Home Location Register) the central 'brains' of the network, a database that holds all customer profile information.

Khalid Shaikh Mohammed (also known as Ashraf Refaat Nabith Henin, Khalid Adbul Wadood, Salem Ali, Abdul Majid, Abdullah al-Fak'asi al-Ghamdior, Fahd Bin Adballah Bin Khalid and 27 other aliases. He is also known colloquially as KSM), is the military head of Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda network. Mohammed has been described by the the 9/11 Commission Report as a "terrorist entrepreneur" who "followed a rather tortuous path to his eventual membership in al Qaeda. Highly educated and equally comfortable in a government office or a terrorist safehouse, Khalid Shaikh Mohammed applied his imagination, technical aptitude, and managerial skills to hatching and planning an extraordinary array of terrorist schemes. These ideas included conventional car bombing, political assassination, aircraft bombing, hijacking, reservoir poisoning, and, ultimately, the use of aircraft as missiles guided by suicide operatives." He also reportedly conspired to create the foiled Operation Bojinka (a plot for the virtually simultaneous in-flight bombings of 12 commercial airliners flying routes between Asia and the United States), the Bali nightclub bombings, the failed bombing of American Airlines Flight 63, the murder of Daniel Pearl, and other militant attacks. Mohammed is purported to have been born in Kuwait. His date of birth has been variously reported as March 1, 1964 or April 14, 1965. Although much remains murky about Mohammed's background, it appears that his parents may have come from Baluchistan, which is composed of large tracts of land in southwestern Pakistan, southern Iran, and Afghanistan. Baluchi tribesman have a fearsome reputation and in the past were employed by local sheiks as palace guards. Mohammed's parents were religious, and his father, Shaikh Mohammed Ali Doustin Baluchi, who died decades ago, has been described as an imam, or preacher. Mohammed's mother, Halema, earned money by cleaning women's bodies for burial. Mohammed is one of at least five siblings – four boys and a girl. The brothers' names – Khalid (meaning man of eternal life); Zahed (pious); Abed (worshipper); and Aref (knowledgeable) – reflect the family's religious orientation. What little is known about the sister includes one compelling piece of information: She is thought to be the mother of Abdul Karim Basit, better known as Ramzi Ahmed Yousef, the man convicted of masterminding the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center in New York. In 1983, Mohammed began attending Chowan College, a small Baptist school in Murfreesboro, North Carolina. He later transferred to the North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University, where he earned a degree in mechanical engineering in 1986. The following year he went to Afghanistan and joined the fight against the Soviet Union during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. After three months of combat, he sought a less perilous existence and secured employment at an electronics company. Then in 1992, he fought for some time in Bosnia. His next move was to Qatar, where he worked in a government office as a project engineer for the Qatari Ministry of Electricity and Water. He stayed at this job until 1996, all the while supporting terrorism covertly. He took many long vacations to help train and organize terrorists around the world. In 1996 he fled to Pakistan to avoid capture by U.S. authorities. Despite having lived and studied in the United States (he claimed to have enjoyed his stay there), Mohammed became an anti-U.S. terrorist. He claims that this was brought about by his anger with American support for Israel. He played a small role in the 1993 World Trade Center (WTC) bombing. He became aware, in 1991 or 1992, that his nephew, Ramzi Yousef, was planning to launch a bombing attack inside the United States. Mohammed consulted with and advised Yousef by phone and received periodic progress reports from him. On November 3, 1992, he wire transferred $660 to Mohammed Salameh, Yousef's co-conspirator, to help facilitate the bombing. After the bombing, Mohammed was placed under surveillance by U.S. intelligence. Inspired by the high status Yousef achieved in Islamic terrorist circles after the WTC attack, Mohammed decided to engage in anti-U.S. terrorist activities as well. In 1994 he traveled to the Philippines to work with Yousef on the aforementioned Operation Bojinka; this appears to have been the first time that Mohammed himself took part in the actual planning of a terrorist operation. In December 1994, Mohammed and Yousef attempted a practice run for Operation Bojinka. Under a seat of Philippine Airlines Flight 434, Yousef planted an explosive device that he had assembled in the lavatory of the plane during a stopover. Yousef disembarked and the plane took off again with a Japanese national now occupying Yousef's seat. The subsequent explosion killed him and nearly brought down the aircraft. plane. The plan for Operation Bojinka was discovered on January 6, 1995. Mohammed, who seemed to have found his calling as a terrorist, was now simultaneously plotting multiple acts of murder, including the assasination of Pope John Paul II and a failed plot to assassinate President Clinton during his 1994 trip to Manilla. Yousef, however, was captured February 7 of that same year after a fire caused by his bomb-making materials raised the suspicions of Phillipine authorities. By the time the Operation Bojinka plot was discovered, Mohammed was already safe in Qatar, back at his job at the Ministry of Electricity and Water. Throughout 1995 he traveled extensively to Sudan, Yemen, Malaysia, and Brazil, making contacts with local terrorists. In Sudan he attempted, unsuccessfully, to meet with Osama bin Laden, whom he had first encountered in Afghanistan in 1987. Bin Laden was at that time a guest of Sudanese political leader Hassan al Turabi, but would soon be pressured to leave. In 1996 Mohammad was secretly indicted by the Southern District of the state of New York for his involvement in Operation Bojinka. A request was received by the Qatari Government from the United States to arrest Mohammed but he had already fled to Afghanistan. There he was able to meet with bin Laden (who had since left Sudan), and the two developed a working relationship. According to Mohammed, this was the first time the two had seen each other since 1989. Conveniently, Mohammed and bin Laden were both transferring their terrorist operations to Afghanistan at approximately the same time. Abu Hafs al-Masri (Mohammed Atef), bin Laden's chief of operations, arranged a meeting between bin Laden and Mohammed in Tora Bora sometime in mid-1996. At this meeting, Mohammed outlined a plan that would eventually become the quadruple hijackings of September 11, 2001. Bin Laden urged Mohammed to become a full-fledged member of al Qaeda, which he did in 1999. Mohammed initially resisted joining because he needed to be sure that bin Laden was really committed to terrorist attacks against the United States. But bin Laden's attacks on the U.S. embassies in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam convinced Mohammed that bin Laden was as committed to destroying the United States as he was. In 1997, Mohammed attempted without success to join mujahid leader Ibn al Khattab in Chechnya. Unable to enter that country, he returned to Afghanistan, where he became increasingly involved with al Qaeda. At bin Laden's invitation, he moved to Kandahar, where he joined al Qaeda as a full member. He became the leader of al Qaeda's media committee and worked on plans for more attacks in Asia and Israel. Other family members were also recruited, including Mohammed's cousin, Ali Abdul Aziz Ali, who was one of the major financers of the 9/11 attacks. Mohammed himself is also a suspect in the Tunisian synagogue bombing. Although he hid behind a mask of religiosity, Khaled Sheikh Mohammad lived a less than religious lifestyle. While in the Philippines he frequently attended parties where large amounts of alcohol were served, and spent enormous sums of money on women. He often went to go-go bars and karaoke clubs and hosted parties at expensive hotels where he tipped lavishly. He once flew low over a tower with a rented helicopter to impress a girlfriend, calling her from his cell phone while buzzing the tower and waving with childish delight.
Mohammed frequently wore a white tuxedo and paid for extravagant dinners with cash. He traveled all over the world on false passports, and barely escaped capture by U.S. authorities on numerous occasions. All the while, he plotted and carried out many atrocities, including the bombing of the synagogue in Tunisia; there is also evidence that he may have had a hand in the Bali, Indonesia bombing that killed over 200 people. His luck was soon to run out, however. On March 1, 2003, Pakistani authorities, acting on a tip from U.S. intelligence, arrested a disoriented and disheveled Mohammed in a surprise raid on his apartment, pulling him out of bed. In March 2007, the media reported that Mohammed had confessed to a U.S. military tribunal that he had planned 28 terrorist attacks and supported 3 others. "I was responsible for the 9/11 operation from A to Z," said Mohammed. He also detailed al Qaeda's links to the 1993 World Trade Center truck bombing. He admitted to having planned the 2002 bombing of a Kenya beach resort frequented by Israelis and the failed missile attack on an Israeli passenger jet after it took off from Mombasa, Kenya. He also said he was responsible for the deadly 2002 bombing of a nightclub in Bali, Indonesia. He confessed to the beheading of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl. Other plots (that never materialized) for which he claimed responsibility included the assassinations of Pope John Paul II, Bill Clinton, and Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf; attacks on the Sears Tower, the Empire State Building, the New York Stock Exchange, the Panama Canal, and Big Ben and Heathrow Airport in London. On November 13, 2009, Attorney General Eric Holder announced that his Justice Department would try Mohammed and four other Guantanamo Bay detainees with alleged ties to the 9/11 conspiracy, in a New York City civilian court. The other co-defendants were Ramzi Bin al-Shibh, Walid bin Attash, Ali Abdul Aziz Ali, and Mustafa Ahmed al-Hawsawi. Holder's announcement elicited great public disapproval, however. On April 4, 2011, the Attorney General announced that that Mohammed and the four others would be tried in a military tribunal in Guantanamo Bay.

After riding the High Roller we strolled down the Linq corridor in search of a light meal. We settled on Fukuburger inside F.A.M.E. We were warmly welcomed and any questions we had about the menu were answered eagerly. Sandwiches are all $7.99 with 6 main selections and a few specials. We chose the Chicken Katsu sandwich with habanero kabayaki, instead of crack sauce. The spicy sauce is usually served on the Karai burger. The chicken is pounded thin and coated with panko and fried crisp. It sits atop a soft bun and it's topped with shredded cabbage and katsu sauce. We also ordered garlic fries which come with crack sauce. They give you a silly nick name for when your order's ready. Our order was up when "Frank the Tank" was called. Frank's mom was "Lady Luck" she ordered the Fuku Burger which is your traditional cheeseburger with wasabi mayo and fuku sauce.
Our order was quickly prepared, it was fresh and tasty. We really enjoyed the Chicken Katsu with the extra kick. I've previously given flack to Fukuburger (truck) for not unleashing the heat on their spicy burger. I'm happy to see they've amped up the spice over time. The sandwich had great flavor. I was less impressed with the bite of the Fukuburger, because it was loaded with mayo. I'm not fond of mayo, hence the substitution of the habanero kabayaki. So it was just a matter of personal taste, Frank and his mom enjoyed it. They also liked the crack sauce. I didn't find it as addicting (again, the mayo) but I did like the garlic fries, even if they were light in garlic flavor.
Overall, Fukuburger serves up a moderately priced quick bite that is served fresh. Which can be a tough find center strip. They've come a long way since late nights in Chinatown parking lots.

Complete Story
On Testing Consumption Based Pricing Models
By: Kyle McSlarrow, Cable Tech Talk
So, my friends at Free Press recently announced a petition to gather signatures to call on Congress to "investigate" plans by Time Warner Cable to conduct trials in four U.S. cities to test customer response to "consumption based" billing for its high-speed Internet access service.
Great. Hundreds of billions of dollars have been and continue to be invested by our industry in the deployment of broadband and now the deployment of next generation broadband; speeds have doubled or tripled in just the last few years; new and spectacular applications keep getting launched; no anti-competitive conduct has remotely occurred; and, in fact, compared to many other industries, the Internet ecosystem seems to be one of the few really healthy, growing, and creative parts of our economy with continued investment and innovation taking place every day. At a time of economic and financial challenges for our country, I for one would rather Congress spend its time on real problems, not fictional ones.
Despite Free Press's hyperbole, the facts are these: Time Warner Cable has merely suggested that they are interested in conducting a limited set of trials of a new pricing model – in a careful and transparent manner – that may serve the vast majority of their customers better by reflecting the growing reality that some consumers utilize far more high speed bandwidth than others. They have engaged in an open conversation with their customers and other interested parties about how they are thinking through their plans, and I would expect that only after gathering input would they announce more specific plans for what, where and how such tests would be conducted.
While it is certainly appropriate for all of us and anyone interested in the deployment and use of broadband technology to monitor the results of these and similar experiments, we should recognize the Free Press petition drive as the publicity stunt it so obviously is.
Let's not forget that Free Press previously suggested that consumption-based billing could be an appropriate pricing model for network providers in a filing on network management at the FCC:
[T]hey could also charge by usage (emphasis mine), provide more bandwidth to all users, or actually offer high symmetric broadband speeds.
As well as to the media:
"I don't quite see [metering] as an outrage, and in fact is probably the fairest system going — though of course the psychology of knowing that you're paying for bandwidth may change behavior," said Tim Wu, a law professor at Columbia University and chairman of the board of public advocacy group Free Press.
And, while they have every right to change their minds, what hasn't changed is that it is entirely appropriate for any actor in the Internet eco-system to test and examine new ideas and approaches that promote consumer choice and enhance the Internet experience for broadband users before making any permanent decisions. The right approach, as Time Warner Cable has done, is to conduct such tests in a transparent way, with full notice and explanation to their customers.
I don't hold a brief for or against any particular pricing model. I simply do not have all the data to make an informed judgment about consumption based billing; nor, with all due respect, does anyone else. The whole point of tests, it seems to me, is to learn what works and what doesn't, and the details matter a lot.
But the "shoot, ready, aim" mentality seems all too prevalent these days. For example, it is somewhat tiresome to have Free Press repeatedly assert that every effort by network providers to examine any new approach or idea in our or related industries is somehow designed to protect against the supposed "threat" of "Internet video." This is so stale, and so at odds with the facts, that it really should not be necessary to point out the obvious:
- Over the last few years, the use of broadband connections to view Internet video has grown at a faster rate than any other application. According to one estimate, traffic generated by YouTube video in 2008 alone was more than the sum of traffic crossing the Internet backbone in 2000.
- Far from fearing online video, our industry is courting and exploring partnerships to bring Internet video to the television screen;
- Our industry has worked — and continues to work — cooperatively with consumer electronics manufacturers to ensure TVs can receive Internet video by building in the necessary ports;
- Our industry is the largest provider of broadband in America, and we view the health and growth of the Internet ecosystem as fundamental to our success, which means the applications and services on the Internet must thrive too;
- Our industry is aggressively deploying next generation broadband across America in order to enable, not restrict, new applications.
Any one of these basic facts would have been evident simply by touring the Cable Show in Washington, D.C., earlier this month.
I would respectfully suggest that this is precisely the time in which we can and should test new ideas, especially when the evidence demonstrates that such tests are being planned with care and transparency.

Liv Tyler's Lips: See My Top Five Red Lip Moments And Tips For The Perfect Red Lip!
Liv takes after her father, Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler, in the lips department. If you aren't blessed with the trait, you can still accentuate your pout with lipstick!
Liv Tyler wore almost no makeup to the NYC screening of The Ledge June 21, letting her lips do all the talking! Liv definitely makes it into my red lip hall of fame. See five more ladies that made a big splash with their bold red lips and learn how to perfectly craft the best red lip look from celebrity makeup artist Piper Cline of The Angelo David Salon!
1. Wearing the color can be a big step for some. It was top news when Hailee Steinfeld stepped out onto the red carpet with her first red lip.
2. As Cameron Diaz showed us, wearing red lipstick can dress up a casual outfit.
3. Huma Abedin is the perfect example of the confidence that come with a red lip look.
4. Kristen Wiig's red pout sent me on a mission to find five incredible red lipsticks.
5. Taylor Swift's always-red kisser inspired me to try a week of lipstick shades that I would never normally try.
To get the perfect red lip, Piper says:
- First step is to remove all color from your lips.
- Before you apply your lipstick use the Laurier Mercier Lip Balm. It will clear up any dryness.
- When you apply your Laura Mercier Ruby lip liner, keep your mouth closed and relaxed. Use short strokes, as they are easier than a continuous line.
- Apply your Laura Mercier Sunrise Lipstick starting from the center to the corners.
- Blot to remove any excess color and to even out the texture.
Piper's Top 3 Tips:
1. Don't rub your lips together once lipstick is applied, it will smear.
2. After you apply your lipstick, take your index finger and pop it in your mouth, then pull it out. The excess lipstick will come off on your finger rather than your teeth.
3. Color isn't for everyone. When in doubt use a nude.

They were moved for multiple assets. The only such d man on the roster is 58. He made some sense. They may not be able to double his salary next year and a canadian team wouldn't mind overpaying for him. He theorized that you could get a stay at home d, of lesser value of course and a rugged wing/grinder and a prospect for 58. History does not lie, what he stated about the past was true, but if shero does it he has huge balls. I like 58, he is a physical marvel, but he's either not getting guidance here, or he's not that smart. His play is not what i'd call cerebral. Still tough to trade that much raw ability.

If you can get Crosby's wing (Yakupov/Eberle/Ryan/etc.) and a nice defensive d-man, it would be difficult to say no. He is a Norris guy, but our strength is on our defensive depth. Comparatively, Letang brings in a better return relative to his value than any of our defensive prospects right now.

JLES love the professional business environment, blended with the friendly and personable manner shown by all the team. We definitely made the right move.
One month into getting an office at Pure Warwick, and the only concern I have is… why we didn't do it sooner? Fantastic office space, great facilities on the premises and locally, and perfect location for us. Getting set up was easy and transparent – it took only a few days to gain access and we were up and running within an hour of moving in. Can't speak highly enough of the overall experience to date.
Moving to Pure Offices really was as easy as described, the communications package was switched on immediately giving us super fast broadband and a telephone before we even moved. We have literally been able to plug our PC's in and carry on working, which has saved us hundreds of pounds. The facility is very clean, modern and it creates the correct image for us. I wish we'd done this ages ago!
We were looking for a modern, contemporary premise to suit our start up technology business. Pure Offices exceeded our requirements with easy access, modern facilities and great internet packages. Getting our office up and running took no time at all with help from the exceptional staff on location.
Augustus Martin were looking for a satellite office in close proximity to one of our major clients. Serena and Christine at Pure offices Welwyn have been excellent since I initially enquired about available office space. They made the moving in process extremely quick, easy and hassle free. The location, premises is exactly what we were looking for.

|editNingame [1]
|忍亀 Ningame
|Volume #5, Naruto Chapter #37
|Naruto Episode #22
|Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 2
|Appears in
|Anime, Manga, Game
|Voice Actors
Ningame (忍亀, Ningame, Literally meaning: Ninja Tortoise) is Might Guy's personal summon.
Ningame is often-time a very stern and serious tortoise seen from his scolding of Lee when the latter tried to use the Front Lotus on Sasuke. Like his summoner Might Guy, Ningame is also easily moved to tears; this is shown when Lee hugged Guy and apologised for what he had attempted to do to Sasuke.
He is a very large tortoise. His shell is red with a yellow underside and swirls on the top with markings around his eyes which are also yellow. He wears a standard Konoha forehead protector around his neck, and an orange bandage on his right front leg. He has seemingly got larger between his Part I and Part II appearances.
Part I
Chūnin Exams
He was summoned when Lee challenged Sasuke Uchiha prior to the Chūnin Exams, and prevented the former from using the Front Lotus. He then scolded Lee for what he was going to do as Lee apologised emphatically. Guy appeared on top of his shell shortly after. He then proceeded to cry along with Might Guy and Lee as the two men embraced.
Part II
Paradise Life on a Boat
Main article: Paradise Life on a Boat
Fourth Shinobi World War: Countdown
Guy summons him while chasing after Kisame Hoshigaki while losing momentum after being thrown by Killer B. He complains that this is the first time he has summoned him in years, and the fact he did so in mid-air. Guy uses his shell as a platform and jumps again causing him to fall to the ground; he ricochets off a giant tortoise's shell before hitting the ground. Ningame has a conversation with the giant tortoise, and marvels at his size. However, the tortoise claimed that he was basically still a hatchling, which shocked him as he had never seen or even heard of a tortoise that big.
Video Games
Although not playable, Ningame appears in Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 2. He pops up on some maps and spins while gliding across the area hitting and damaging anyone he comes in contact with.
- (To Lee) "You think you can get away with an excuse like that! You already know what it means for shinobi to reveal his special techniques…!!!"[2]
- (To Guy) "It's been a long time, but what are we doing in mid-air?!"[3]
- (To the giant tortoise) "Wha… I've never seen or even heard of a tortoise as big as you…"[4]

Western civilisation, in its best sense, was born with the promenade. Walking is a sensitive, spiritual act. Jogging is management of the body. The jogger says I am in control. It has nothing to do with meditation.
MORE: From the WaPo:
The British press is having a wonderful time with all this.
"The Sarkozy jog, say his critics, is a sad imitation of the habits of American presidents, and a capitulation to 'le défi Américain' (a phrase that was the title of a book published here as 'The American Challenge') as bad as the influx of Hollywood movies," writes Boris Johnson, a British member of Parliament and confirmed jogger, in the Telegraph.
"I am not deterred . . . by the accusation that jogging is right-wing," he says. "Of course it is right-wing, in the sense that the facts of life are generally right-wing. The very act of forcing yourself to go for a run, every morning, is a highly conservative business. There is the mental effort needed to overcome your laziness.
"Charles de Gaulle . . . moved with the stately undulation of a giraffe, and never broke into so much as a trot."

Storage biz Xyratex is polishing its high-performance computing credentials by acquiring the Lustre trademark, logo, website and associated intellectual property from Oracle. Xyratex said it will support Lustre's community-oriented development.
Lustre is an open-source cluster file system popular in supercomputer land. Once upon a time it was developed and supported by Whamcloud, which Intel bought last July.
Lustre came about through work by Carnegie Mellon University researcher Peter Braam who devised a cluster-ready file system. Sun bought it in 2007. Oracle bought Sun in 2010 and this is where Lustre ended up.
Six of the top-10 high-performance computing clusters in the world use Lustre as do more than 60 of the 100 largest HPC installations.
Xyratex came on the Lustre scene by developing a clustered supercomputer-grade storage array called ClusterStor as away to grow the business in the face of declining revenues from its business of building arrays for IBM, NetApp and others. ClusterStor runs Lustre, hence Xyratex's interest.
The company said it "will assume responsibility for providing support to Lustre customers going forward", but it looks as though it is now in competition with Intel's Whamcloud.
Xyratex CEO Steve Barber said his company "strongly believes that all members of the Lustre community need to continue to play a part in the evolution of the code and the benefits it delivers over the long term".
Can nimble Xyratex thrust a Lustre knuckle-duster at Intel? The world is waiting. ®

The Details:
• Based on the race-inspired Gallardo Super Trofeo
• Equipped with a V10 engine capable of 570hp @ 8000rpm
• Accelerates from 0-60mph in 3.4sec, 124mph in 10.4sec
• Weighs 2954 lb due to carbon fiber and aluminum design
• To debut at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show
Lamborghini announced a new and most extreme addition to the Gallardo lineup, the 2013 LP 570-Squadra Corse. This all-wheel drive exotic is based on the race-inspired Gallardo Super Trofeo, the world's fastest one-make series. The Squadra Corse will be presented at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show priced at € 191.100 ($253380 est. US)
For those who wish to inject race track intensity into the road, the Gallardo Squadra Corse is a worthy street-legal option. The vehicle shares many of the components that are found in the Super Trofeo competition version. For example: both share the same powerful V10 engine capable of generating 570hp @ 8000rpm along with the same carbon fiber rear wing for improved stability. The Squadra Corse is also equipped with an e-gear six-speed transmission operated by steering wheel paddles.
Due to weight-saving materials such as aluminum and carbon fiber, the new Squadra Corse weighs in at 2954 lb. Acceleration from 0-60mph can be reached in 3.4-sec and 124mph can be attained in a claimed 10.4 sec. A carbon ceramic brake system hauls this exotic down when stopping power is required.
If you're a fan of carbon fiber, the interior has it – a lot of it. The door panels, racing seats and the center console cover are all made of carbon fiber. That's not all - the handbrake frame, the middle of the center console, the lower rim of the steering wheel, the trim around the main and secondary instrument panels, the door handles, and the handle for opening the glove box are also constructed from the same material. Racing bucket seats are the standard, however, comfort seats can be ordered in their place.
It is available for purchase in Giallo Midas (yellow), Bianco Monocerus (white), Grigio Thalasso (grey) and in Rosso Mars (red), with an exterior that features 19in forged wheels, and brake calipers available in red, black or yellow.
Interested in a test drive? Squadra Corse offers driving events that go by the name of "Esperienza."

RAIL users are being urged to get behind a line connecting Swindon and West Wiltshire in response to a Government consultation which suggests the service might be reduced.
The TransWilts line, which links Swindon, Chippenham, Melksham and Westbury, is among a number of topics debated in the Department for Transport (DfT) specification for the Great Western franchise.
It is overseen by First Great Western with the new franchise running between 2015 and 2020.
In December, extra services were introduced along the TransWilts line with the DfT document suggesting these could be scaled back in the future despite a substantial growth in train users since then.
The improved service saw twice daily return services increase to eight, Monday to Saturday, between Swindon and Westbury.
There is also a Sunday service on which Swindon passengers can travel to Weymouth, with a change at Westbury.
Graham Ellis, TransWilts Community Rail Partnership press and publicity officer, who campaigned for improved services, said: "They're working out who will run the line from the end of next year and how many trains they will need.
"The wording in the document is a little ambiguous but my feeling is we need users to write and say how essential this service is.
"It is a huge benefit to the people coming in and out of the town for work and I know many Swindon Town fans have been using it to get to the matches."
The public consultation finishes at 9.30am on June 26.
Since the improved services were introduced, the partnership has surveyed passenger numbers and on an average weekday found that usage has increased from 50 people to 400.
Graham said: "It has been a huge success and it would be a great shame to lose something that we have fought hard for. I'd urge as many people as possible to answer the consultation and support our service."
Swindon's MPs have backed the service.
South Swindon MP Robert Buckland said: "I share the concerns about the TransWilts line and this is an opportunity for us to raise the issue through the consultation and say we are happy with this service."
North Swindon MP Justin Tomlinson said: "I'm very happy to support the work being done by the TransWilts Community Rail Partnership as we are always looking to maintain and improve rail services for the people of Swindon."

The Mars looks good: it's small and discreet, has its fan fitted internally, which serves to both appear tidier and muffle some of the noise.
It unquestionably looks great, though the sacrifice is fairly average, but entirely acceptable, heat management. It's not an ideal path for overclockers to go down, but modders and anyone desiring a spanky-looking, quiet system will do well by it.

Hurtigruten is a Norwgian passenger line daily navigating along the splendid West Norwgian coast. The round trip is 11 ldays long and it's been described by many people as "the most beautiful cruise in the world".
The Hurtigruten fleet
The Hurtigruten Company's fleet sail all year round to different destinations of the Norwegian coastal areas. Among the various options, you can choose a 6-night northbound cruise, a 5-night southbound cruise or a 12-night round trip cruise with stopover in 34 different ports. Other cruise ships of this company will allow you to discover the Antarctic and Chilean fjord itineraries, or make excursions to Spitsbergen, an island halfway between Norway and the North Pole. In any case, mother nature is the main player in this show which is absolutely not to be missed in the course of one's life. If the idea of a cruise in the Arctic Sea fascinates you, you must know that thanks to the Hurtigruten company, you can fulfill your desire to travel to some of the most beautiful destinations in the world, including remote places like Antarctica and Greenland. Among the valid reasons that should convince you to choose the Hurtigruten Cruise Company, in addition to the itinerary, which is unique and suggestive in itself, there is also the excellent cuisine offered on board the ships. You will find in fact, two types of three-course dinners, including appetizers and dessert.
While the cruise line do their best to meet particular dietary needs, any request for special meals, must however be made well in advance of departure. On the Hurtigruten cruise ships you will find, among other things, a 24-hour coffee shop where you can enjoy liquor, wine, beer and various types of cocktails. For your free time during the cruise of your choice, you can use the swimming pools, the Jacuzzis, present on the most recent ships, or simply just look outside and appreciate the tranquility and beauty of those unique places.
A cruise to disconnect from the digital world
If you prefer to disconnect from the digital world that you usually live in and wish to look at a unique scenario in real time, the outdoor solariums or the internal lounges, with their extra-large windows, are the best places where you can choose to stay. If in summer or winter it does not matter, because staying up late has alsways its advantages. Thanks to the inclination of the earth between the seasons, Norway is able to offer some rather captivating phenomena. If in summer you stay, for example, awake until the early hours of dawn, especially around the solstice time, you will enjoy the pastel shades of the midnight sun, while in winter, you will have the opportunity to see from a very close distance, the explosions of the colorful Aurora Borealis (northern lights) that illuminate the absolute oscurity of the night. Therefore if you want your dream to come true, do not hesitate any longer and plan now a holiday with the Hurtigruten cruise company, which will remain indelibly impressed in your mind.

Over on the Kontradictions blog, a self-described leftist wrote a very cogent piece on why we should not reinstate the Clinton-era Assault Weapons Ban.
It's not easy being a leftist who loves guns. It's like being a Republican who listens to NPR or supports single payer health care. But being a leftist, I get exposed to all the liberal publications and media that invariably call for gun control every time someone does something stupid with one. Being a gun enthusiast, I also get exposed to the political Right's oversimplification of those liberals as somehow lacking moral fiber or true appreciation of freedom. Rather than agreeing with both, I tend to end up arguing with both. It's exhausting to always feel like I'm apologizing for the other "side".
This article takes a point of view, but aims to do so in a way that members of both sides of the political spectrum can understand. I'll try to give some idea as to why we on the political left roll our eyes at the rhetoric of the NRA, and how we in the "gun culture" can possibly defend something called "assault weapons".
We all know the cycle by now: Tragic incident occurs, both sides attempt to use it for their political gain, both sides act shocked that the other would attempt to use it for political gain, insults are flung, statistics are cherry-picked, rinse, repeat.
I began writing this some time after the Aurora massacre, but it was just this morning that news started coming in of the mass shooting at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin. I knew the wave of cries for a renewal of the "assault weapon" and "high capacity" magazine bans hadn't yet faded from Aurora, and that they would be reinforced by this next event, regardless of how relevant either of the topics were to the incident.
So in order to get around to why the assault weapons ban was an utter and absolute failure in its attempt to deter violent crime, I have to start with mass shootings.
Kontra's post is outstanding and I highly recommend reading the whole thing.

Also, look out for Toy Machine's 3 set DVD. The first will have never before released and much anticipated Live, plus Heavy Metal together. Then the second will have Welcome to Hell, the third Jump off a Building. All with never before seen special features. Keep your ears tuned to this for sure!
Austin Stephens has just broken into the unwieldy world of mobile communications with his new cell phone. Austin also just got the cover of skateboarder, to be out in…. right now! Plus! He has taken up residency with Ed Templeton in OC. These two cats living together is a double threat!
Speaking of OC, VH-1 has been tracking Ed Templeton down for an interview about living in OC. I'm assuming this interest in OC has been stirred up by the movie Orange County. As soon as I here anything about an airdate, I'll be sure to let you' all know.
For 2 weeks in March Diego and Austin Stephens are cruzing down to Argentina to skate and shoot for Diego's upcoming Skateboarder interview. Good Stuff!
