OPENING KICKOFF: Today's Centennial Conference (CC) game marks the 64th meeting between McDaniel (1-3, 1-2 CC) and Gettysburg (2-2, 2-1 CC) in a series that dates back to 1891. The Bullets lead the all-time series 45-18-1. The Green Terror has won the two meetings, including 36-30 triple-overtime thriller last season. Gettysburg's last win came by a 38-6 margin in Westminster in 2008, snapping a six-year stretch where the teams alternated wins and losses with the home team winning each time since McDaniel won six straight in the series.
WHEN LAST WE MET: Woody Butler (Smithsburg, Md./Middletown) made his only catch of the game count most, catching a 10-yard touchdown from Tom Massucci (Tabernacle, N.J./Seneca) to cap a Homecoming thriller and lift McDaniel to a 36-30 three-overtime victory over Gettysburg last season. It was then-freshman Joe Rollins (Temple Hills, Md./Surrattsville) who did the lion's share of the work for the Green Terror, capping his 34-carry, 294-yard rushing day with a 15-yard carry in the third overtime to set up the Massucci-to-Butler score two plays later.
LAST TIME OUT: Ursinus found the end zone for fifth time with just 19.4 seconds left to break a 28-all deadlock and defeat McDaniel 35-28 last Saturday. Nick O'Melia (Taneytown, Md./Francis Scott Key) made made three catches for 107 yards and a touchdown to lead the Green Terror, who got another 200-yard passing day from freshman quarterback Nick Valori (Sewell, N.J./Washington Twp.), who finished 11-for-19 for 245 yards and two touchdown passes. Bryan Ellis led the Bears in the running game, rushing for 180 yards on 26 carries – part of 252 yards on the ground. Chris Curran added 45 rushing yards on seven carries with two touchdowns in addition to his 166 yards passing.
WITH HONORS: Nick O'Melia, Mike Cousar (Easton, Pa./Easton Area) and Jake Nichols (Frederick, Md./Gov. Thomas Johnson) were named to their respective CC Weekly Honor Rolls last week. O'Melia was named to the offensive list after making three catches for 107 yards with a touchdown. He also caught the two-point conversion that tied the game at 28-all. Cousar earned the defensive nod after recording nine tackles, including eight solo stops. Nichols was tabbed the special teams ledger after averaging 37.0 yards on seven punts and 65.4 yards on five kickoffs last week.
LEADING THE WAY: Sam Cox (Towson, Md./Towson), Tom Massucci, Diego Weiner (Miami, Fla./Riverside Military Academy [Ga.]) and Kevin White (Bryn Mawr, Pa./Haverford Twp.) will captain the squad in 2011. The quartet is all first-time captains for the Green Terror. Weiner and White earned the nod as juniors. It marks the first time since 2008 that McDaniel will be led by a completely new group of captains.
THREE QUARTERS OF THE WAY: All three of the Green Terror losses have come in the fourth quarter this season. In the first two of those setbacks, McDaniel held double-digit leads entering the fourth quarter and couldn't hold on for the win. On Saturday, the Green Terror rallied to tie the game at 28-all with 3:34 to play before Ursinus took its final possession 68 yards in 10 plays, consuming 3:07 for the game-winning score with 19.4 seconds on the clock. In four games this season, the Green Terror has been outscored, 56-15. In the other three quarters combined, McDaniel is outscoring its opposition 110-66, including by a 33-7 margin in the third quarter.
ALPHA AND OMEGA: Ursinus became the first team this season to score the first points of a game in which McDaniel was playing. The Green Terror won the coin toss for the third time in four games this season, including in both of its road games where the McDaniel captains made the call, but deferred to the second half. The Bears took the game's first possession 66 yards down the field in six plays for the first seven points of the game. From there, the contest turned into a seesaw affair with the teams alternating touchdowns. Ursinus had the final say, though, finding the end zone with 19.4 seconds on the clock to bookend a combined nine-touchdown afternoon.
O-ME, OH MY: Nick O'Melia recorded his second 100-yard receiving day of the season, catching three passes for a career-best 107 yards. Of his 264 yards receiving this season, 209 have come in two of the games – a 102-yard day against Moravian and Saturday's 107-yard day. The sophomore wideout is averaging a CC-best 24.0 yards per catch this season. He has caught two of the three 60-plus yard throws by Nick Valori this season, including the Green Terror's two longest pass plays of the season.
KEEPING PACE: Through four games this season, Joe Rollins has 679 yards rushing. The sophomore tailback is on pace to break Eric Frees' single-season program record of 1,594 rushing yards, turned in during his junior season (1990), by more than 100 yards. Rollins enters today's game needing just 321 yards to become the Green Terror's first 1,000-yard single-season rusher since Broderick Maybank ran for 1,200 in 2004.
200-LEVEL COURSE: Nick Valori threw for 200 yards for the second consecutive game. The rookie signal caller completed just 11 of his 19 attempts but connected for a season-best 245 yards and two touchdowns. Five of his 11 completions went for 30 or more yards, including a 65-yard play to Nick O'Melia. Those five passes accounted for 194 (79.2 percent) of his yardage on the day. In Valori's three starts, he has thrown for 583 yards.
A STRANGE NEW WORLD: Through the first three games of the season, McDaniel has been stout against the run but less than stellar against the pass. On Saturday, those roles were reversed. The Green Terror entered play at Ursinus allowing just 90.0 yards per game on the ground and 323.7 per game through the air, including 200-yard passers in each of the first three games. The Bears, however, torched the nation's 44th-ranked run defense for 252 yards – the most allowed by McDaniel in two years. Conversely, the secondary allowed just 166 yards passing – the fewest in nine games dating back to last season.
THE BUTLER DID IT: Woody Butler had just two catches on Saturday. However, the passes went for 30 yards apiece for a 60-yard afternoon. The 6-8 senior tight end has caught eight passes over the last two weeks for a total of 190 yards, which is nearly seven times his yard-per-game average entering the stretch. Prior to his 160-yard outing at Muhlenberg, Butler had caught a total of 31 passes for 366 yards in his first 26 collegiate games – a 14.1 yard-per-game average. Woody is part of three generations of Butlers being honored this afternoon as the McDaniel's Coin Toss Honorees.
SACKING UP: Despite not recording a sack on Saturday, the Green Terror still ranks second in the conference with 15 sacks. Sam Cox leads the way with a CC-best 7.5 sacks. His sack total also ranks fifth in all of Division III. Cox has 11.0 tackles for loss, which is tied for second in Division III. Steve Wetherhold (Catasauqua, Pa./Catasauqua) is also in the top 10 in the league, averaging 1.17 in his three games played. Mike Cousar and Bill Gerdes (Freedhold, N.J./Colts Neck) have 1.5 sacks apiece while Donny Sherman (Darlington, Md./Havre de Grace) and Morris Koffa (Bowie, Md./Archbishop Carroll) each have 1.0.
DOUBLING UP: For the first time since the start of the CFC in 1983, Gettysburg and McDaniel are playing at the same site two years in a row. In 1982, the Bullets took a 34-3 win on the Battlefield in the last meeting between the two teams as Middle Atlantic Conference foes. With the advent of the Centennial Football Conference a year later, the teams returned to Gettysburg and the Bullets took a third straight (of what would become nine straight) meeting, 27-3. This is the first time in the 65 meetings between the two long time rivals, consecutive games will be played in Westminster.
DO I HEAR 100?: Today's matchup could very well feature a lot of points. The Green Terror and Bullets are two of the top three scoring offenses in the CC. Gettysburg paces the conference at 48.8 points per game, including putting up more than 50 in each of its last two games. McDaniel ranks third in the league at 31.2 points per game. Not only are the two teams among the most prolific on the offensive side but they are also both in the bottom half of the CC in scoring defense. The Bullets rank last at 43.5 points allowed per game while the Green Terror is sixth at 30.5 points per game.
TERROR TIDBITS: All three of the Green Terror losses have come in the fourth quarter this season. In two of the three losses, the go-ahead score came in the final 1:01… Joe Rollins failed to reach 100 yards for the first time this season, finishing with 97 yards. He still leads the conference with 679 rushing yards. Rollins is third in the nation in rushing (169.75) and fifth in all-purpose yards (213.50)… The Green Terror lost the time-of-possession battle for the first time this season, running just 55 offensive plays in the 25:40 it had the ball… Donny Sherman is second in the conference, averaging 8.1 yards per punt return. He had a 77-yard punt return for a touchdown negated by penalty in the fourth quarter on Saturday.
COACHES' CORNER: Tim Keating is in his 19th season at the helm of the Green Terror. His 109 victories are the most by any McDaniel coach. Keating enters today's game with record of 109-78-3, guiding the program to seven CC championships and a pair of NCAA playoff wins. Before coming to the Hill, Keating notched a 26-23 record in five seasons at Wesley… Barry Streeter, the dean of CC coaches, is in his 33rd season guiding the Bullets. His 163-160-5 record not only ranks best amongst those to guide Gettysburg but is also the best record among active coaches in the conference. He has three CC titles to his credit and one appearance in the NCAA semifinals (1985).
THE WORD ON GETTYSBURG: The Bullets enter today's game off a 56-55 overtime loss to Susquehanna last week… Ted Delia scored on a one-yard touchdown run on Gettysburg's possession in the first overtime before Rich Palazzi hit Spenser Ercole with a 25-yard strike in the Crusaders' half. Susquehanna elected to end the game right there, going for the two-point conversation. Palazzi connected with Greg Tellish for the winning points… Saturday's seesaw game featured nine lead changes and matched the CC record for combined points in a game (111), which the two teams established a year earlier in the Bullets' 61-50 win. Delia piled up 244 rushing yards – the most by a Gettysburg player not named Paul Smith '00… Delia ranks second in the conference with 469 rushing yards. He is also second behind Joe Rollins in all-purpose yards with 652. Delia's three touchdowns on Saturday vaulted him into the CC lead with nine this season… Kody Smith, who threw for 183 on Saturday, is third in the league with 201.0 passing yards per game. He is tied for the CC lead with nine touchdown tosses. Smith leads the conference in total offense (1,041)… Aden Twer is averaging 107.5 yards per game receiving to pace the conference – one of just two receivers averaging more than 100 yards per game… The Gettysburg offense leads the CC in scoring (48.8 points per game), rushing (274.0 yards per game), total offense (521.5) and punt return average (23.8 yards per return) while ranking fourth in passing offense (247.5 yards per game)… Conversely the Bullet defense is last in the conference in scoring (43.5 points per game), eighth against the pass (256.0 yards per game), sixth against the run (155.8) and sixth in total defense (411.8)… Larry DelViscio leads the defense with 34 tackles while Joe Delaney is one shy of his team lead with 33. DelViscio has 6.0 tackles for loss and an interception. Delaney has an interception and team-best four pass breakups.

Getting ready to go on my first hammock trip next weekend in my SBPro... I'm still testing and adjusting but had a few more questions:
1) If you raise the foot up to prevent slipping - how much or is this another area for experimentation??
2) Any tips for dealing with rain? What do you do with your gear? Muddy shoes, etc?
I'll be on a motorcycle - so in addition to normal stuff - I'll have helmet, jacket, etc to deal with. I'm thinking of bringing a small ground cloth. Then if it's raining I can setup my tarp - then pop the ground cloth down - then drop my gear on that to keep it dry while I setup the hammock.
Just looking for some real-world advice instead of re-inventing the wheel!

Dianne Feinstein Is Simply Wrong In Claiming NSA Dragnet Would Have Been Helpful In Stopping 9/11
from the don't-let-her-get-away-with-it dept
The ACLU's Michael German goes through a complete and total debunking of Feinstein's claims based on the actual history of what happened. After reading this, pretty much the only conclusion you can be left with is that Senator Dianne Feinstein is either totally misinformed over publicly known information about what the intelligence community had done (which would be quite incredible given her position as the head of the Senate Intelligence Committee) or she is flat out lying to protect her friends in the intelligence community.
In other words, the intelligence community clearly had everything it needed prior to 9/11. It just failed to use it. That has nothing to do with the dragnet data collection that Feinstein is claiming would have somehow caught Mihdhar.
There are a few problems with using Mihdhar as the poster child for new domestic spying programs, however. The intelligence agencies, which normally benefit from being able to keep secret any facts that might undermine their arguments, seem to have forgotten that the 9/11 Commission, the Justice Department Inspector General and the intelligence committees in Congress published in detail what the government knew about Mihdhar before the attacks. It turns out that the NSA was intercepting calls to the al Qaeda safe house in Yemen as early as 1999, and both the FBI and CIA knew Mihdhar was an al Qaeda operative long before the 9/11 attacks.
The safe house was discovered during the FBI's investigation into the 1998 bombings of two U.S. embassies in East Africa, and had been monitored by the NSA and CIA ever since. The inspector general's report couldn't be clearer that the intercepts were being broadly shared:
"The NSA's reporting about these communications was sent, among other places, to FBI Headquarters, the FBI's Washington and New York Field Offices, and the CIA's CTC. At the FBI, this information appeared in the daily threat update to the Director on January 4, 2000."
Intercepted communications from this location allowed the CIA to follow Mihdhar to an al Qaeda meeting in Kuala Lumpur in January 2000. Though they lost him in Thailand, as Mueller suggested, the CIA knew he had a visa to enter the United States and that his travel companion and fellow hijacker, Nawaf al Hazmi, had a plane ticket to fly to Los Angeles.
The CIA, however, failed to place Mihdhar on a watch list or "notify the FBI when it learned Mihdhar possessed a valid U.S. visa," according to the 9/11 Commission report. The inspector general's report revealed that five FBI officials assigned to the CIA Counterterrrorism Center viewed CIA cables indicating Mihdhar had a U.S. visa. A week after the Kuala Lumpur meeting, Mihdhar and Hazmi flew into Los Angeles International Airport and entered the United States without a problem. After their entrance, the NSA would intercept at least six calls from the al Qaida safe house in Yemen to the United States, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Frankly, the other problem here is the Wall Street Journal allowing Feinstein to post that op-ed when it clearly includes things that are untruthful. I recognize that there's a difference between an oped and reporting, but a newspaper should still challenge an oped author when they write things that are easily proved false. Instead, the WSJ let Feinstein publish her clearly bogus article in support of the dragnet, despite the many problems with it. As German notes, these efforts to lie to the American public actually undermine Feinstein's case:
These repeated efforts to mislead Congress and the American people only make the case more strongly that the government's surveillance authorities need to be sharply curbed with strong legislation that ends the bulk collection programs, protects Americans' private communications and adds more transparency and public accountability to these activities. Americans have the right to truthful information about their government's intelligence activities, and the current oversight system, which depends on whistleblowers willing to risk jail, certainly isn't working.If they can't support their program with the truth, it seems pretty clear that there's no reason to support the surveillance program at all.

Does anybody know how to generate a clock signal on an digital pin of an Arduino Due?like a CPU clock. I am trying to communicate to a OV3640 but i have to give it a 24 MHz clock signal. I was wondering if there was a way to generate that using the CPU clock of the Due.
i tried using the PWM signal but i could not adjust the frequency. Do you know how to change it?
I don't exactly know, but you should definitely take a look at this: http://asf.atmel.com/docs/latest/sam3x/html/group__sam__drivers__pwm__group.html
The PMC controls 3 signals to be output on external pins, PCKx. Each signal can be independentlyprogrammed via the Programmable Clock Registers (PMC_PCKx).PCKx can be independently selected between the Slow Clock (SLCK), the Main Clock(MAINCK), the PLLA Clock (PLLACK), UTMI PLL Clock (UPLLCK/2) and the Master Clock(MCK) by writing the CSS field in PMC_PCKx. Each output signal can also be divided by apower of 2 between 1 and 64 by writing the PRES (Prescaler) field in PMC_PCKx.

As part of the steady march towards iOS 4.2, Apple has released Mac OS X 10.6.5. Beta versions of this OS were said by developers to be necessary to enable iOS 4.2 iPhone and iPad AirPrint support for networked printers. Now, however, there have been rumors networked AirPrint support has been postponed or cancelled.
We'll try it out with the iOS 4.2 GM but we likely won't know for sure until the release version of iOS 4.2 hits, hopefully soon.
If you've updated to 10.6.5 and have iOS 4.2 GM, let us know if it works for you!

Just back from a week spent with several of my grandchildren and, looking back, I can't believe all the fun things that were experienced in that short time. And everything but the ice cream was free. Our day at the beach was anything but boring. Two of the kids used the seagrass that washed up on shore to build a fort. Others played water football and tag in the ocean.
One afternoon was spent enjoying the outdoors, with the kids taking turns swinging from a rope knotted to a tree. What fun they had with lots of giggles and laughter. The best things in life do appear to be free.
My five year old grandson adores collecting anything he finds wherever he may be ... on a walk, at the store, in the street. He is definitely going to be an artist. Here you see him in his little "stick" store. We even painted some of the sticks one afternoon. There is so much you can do with natural materials ... sticks, stones, shells.
A favorite pasttime is fishing and if you are fortunate to live close to a lake, river or pond, this is a fun sport to teach the kids and grandkids. This granddaughter is only 4 and she is already a whiz at casting a rod.
But most of all, one of our favorite summer activities is eating ice cream. There is nothing better on a summer night than having an ice cream cone. We hope you all enjoy your summer and I can't believe I have already had the opportunity to experience all these summer activities and it has just begun.

Difference between revisions of "Subic"
Revision as of 13:21, 3 January 2013
Get in
Get around
Scuba Diving
The tourism office for the area calls Subic Bay the "Pearl of the Orient" and much like a pearl inside an oyster, its true value is hidden unless you know where to look.
Scuba diving is incredibly popular throughout the Philippines and more international divers are arriving each year. The growth of diving in Subic Bay, whilst increasing, is doing so at a slower rate - so this area still remains a hidden gem, with unspoilt sites and lack of crowding.
Subic Bay offers some of the world's best shipwrecks, all within recreational diving depths, as well as tranquil coral and artificial reefs that explode with marine life. Unlike Coron, and other international wreck diving locations, where you ride for hours to get to a wreck site, the majority of Subic Bay dive sites are a quick 15 minutes boat trip from the dive centres.
The bay is a unique 'wreck heaven' because its sheltered waters allow calm year-round diving (except in the strongest Typhoons), with short duration transits to the dive sites and a fantastic collection of exceptionally well-preserved historical wrecks.
Just how many wrecks are there in Subic Bay and around its entrance? That is a very difficult question. Unlike Coron or Truk, whose wrecks occurred over a relatively short period, Subic's WWII wrecks covered almost the entire war period. No less than 25 Japanese ships were reported sunk during the war years. Some of these may have been removed in the late fifties as salvage operations were done to open up the bay for shipping Additional ships were sunk after the war either as targets or victims of mother nature. It is widely believed that an additional ten large ships may lie within the Bay. The area is not limited to WWII wrecks, at the entrance to the bay alongside Grande Island, is the remains of the Spanish American war wreck San Quintin. Outside the bay in deep water lie the remains of a Spanish Galleon as well as a 16th century Chinese Junk (beyond diving range).
The eruption of Mount Pinatubo in 1991 did an enormous amount of damage to Luzon and the Zambales/Subic Bay area was very hard hit. A meter of ash covered the area including homes and business. Within days, a typhoon entered the area turning the ash into mud. Many homes and business collapse under the weight. One resident stated that the river looked just like the cement coming out of a cement mixer. A large percentage of the coral was killed lying under the ash.
When the Navy occupied the naval base at Subic, many of the wrecks were closed to diving. Divers however had the advantage of diving in water that was crystal clear with 40 or more meters of visibility on the wrecks that were open. The bay was the home of different varieties of sharks, dolphins, and turtles. While a few turtles still nest on the beaches the visibility, sharks and dolphins are no longer here. The visibility is returning slowly and the coral is recovering. Hopefully the turtles, sharks and dolphins will return in abundance also. More turtles and rays have been seen this year than last and the number of sharks just outside the bay also seems to be on the rise
In recent years, there have been increasingly more common spottings of Bull Sharks around the deeper wreck sites, along with Eagle Ray around the USS New York, LST and El Capitan... and Black Tip Reef Sharks around the outside of Grande Island.
Underwater Photographers have been reporting success with Macro critters, such as Harlequin Ghost Pipefish and many species of Nudibranch
The last few years have seen a dramatic growth in the number of dive operators in the Bay area. In 1998 there was only one fledgling full time operator at Subic - today there are more than 10. These dive operators serve a variety of scuba training agencies, including; PADI, SSI, ANDI, PSAI, BSAC and DSAT. They provide a collection of entry-level and specialist scuba training courses, including (of course!) basic and advanced/technical wreck diver training.

After such a harrowing week, there's a strong case to be made that the Knicks shouldn't even be playing tonight, what with the devastation still unfolding in so many parts of the Tri-State area. There's something distasteful about caring about basketball when folks are literally struggling to find food.
But there's that other part for Knicks fans, the part that certainly wants to understand all that and does, but that can't fight the fact they've waited an awful long time for this, and you know the two teams are already here, and there's the arena right over there, so maybe they should just play and some of us could watch?
And so while putting this mere sporting contest in its proper perspective, we can also take stock of the fact that this is actually a pretty big game for the Knicks, especially for its star player Carmelo Anthony.
I think it's fair to say that Anthony's time so far in New York has to qualify as something of a disappointment. Considering that the highlight of his run here has been a two-week stretch in which Jeremy Lin made everyone's heads explode, a stretch in which he wasn't actually playing, it's fair to say we're still waiting for this trade to bear fruit. In fairness, during his time here, neither the Knicks nor Anthony have been bad, they just haven't been that great either.
Which is why there is such an uncertainty that surrounds the whole team this year. There's no doubt it's improved, little argument it's not the best Knicks team in years -- the competition, you will note, is slim -- but also a gnawing sense that it's still not really a threat to beat the other top teams in the league, a sense they could begin to dispel with a big opening night.
Which isn't to say the Knicks have to come out and win this game or everything is hopeless and futile, though I'm sure it will feel that way for at least a few minutes. I'd certainly be content to just see them play well, to look like they belonged on something of an elite level.
But there also exists an opportunity to turn this opener into one of those special sports moments that come along only so often. That opportunity goes especially for Anthony, who hasn't quite yet ingrained himself in the city he worked so hard to play in.
But we're here tonight. We're cold, we're wet, probably huddled around the one TV in the neighborhood that actually works and ready to wrap our arms around our own franchise player.
Tonight's game is certainly not the defining moment of Anthony's career, a loss won't signify anything greater than the team going 0-1, but it's an opportunity for Anthony to receive a full New York embrace. A big performance against the defending champion Heat would go a long way in lifting the mood surrounding the Knicks and the city they play in.
It would have been easy for the Knicks not to play tonight, but if the game must go on, hey, might as well make the most of it, right?

Don't Fall For Misleading Story Being Spread By NSA Suggesting Tech Companies Lied About PRISM
from the bogus dept
This article was amended on 20 March 2014 to remove statements in the original that the testimony by Rajesh De contradicted denials by technology companies about their knowledge of NSA data collection. It was also updated to clarify that the companies challenged the secrecy surrounding Section 702 orders.I wonder how many people who have been repeating the initial misleading claims will go back and see that change? Original story below:
I'm seeing a bunch of folks passing around a story by Spencer Ackerman at The Guardian, claiming that tech companies lied about their "denials" of PRISM. The story is incredibly misleading. Ackerman is one of the best reporters out there on the intelligence community, and I can't recall ever seeing a story that I think he got wrong, but this is one. But the storyline is so juicy, lots of folks, including the usual suspects are quick to pile on without bothering to actually look at the details, insisting that this is somehow evidence of the tech companies lying.
So, let's look at what actually happened. The report is based on statements by Rajesh De, the NSA general counsel, who was testifying before the US's Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board (PCLOB). Here's the part that's catching everyone's attention:
Everything stated above is technically true, but misleading. The problem is that what the companies denied is not what De is talking about. What they denied is what both the Washington Post and the Guardian initially implied: that the NSA had "direct access" to the servers of the nine companies named under PRISM, with the clear implication of the stories being that direct access was to basically all servers. All of the companies denied that level of access (which was and remains true). They also (as Ackerman does mention) denied knowing what PRISM was. Within a day or so, it became quite clear that "PRISM" was merely orders under Section 702 of the FISA Amendments Act -- which is what eventually lead a bunch of those same companies to sue the government, saying they wanted to reveal the details of the Section 702 orders that they got, including how many orders they received and how many user accounts were impacted by those orders. The very reason they filed that lawsuit was in an attempt to prove that PRISM/Section 702 orders were never about full access to everything, but rather more targeted requests approved of by the FISA court (it's fair to point out that the NSA's definition of "targeted" is more broad than you and I would like, but that's a separate issue).
Asked during at a Wednesday hearing of the US government's institutional privacy watchdog if collection under the law, known as Section 702 or the Fisa Amendments Act, occurred with the "full knowledge and assistance of any company from which information is obtained," De replied: "Yes."
When the Guardian and the Washington Post broke the Prism story in June, thanks to documents leaked by whistleblower Edward Snowden, nearly all the companies listed as participating in the program – Yahoo, Apple, Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Paltalk, AOL – claimed they did not know about a surveillance practice described as giving NSA vast access to their customers' data. Some, like Apple, said they had "never heard" the term Prism.
In January, that lawsuit was settled, with the DOJ giving companies (for the first time) the ability to reveal (in quite a limited way) how many FISA orders they received and how many "customer selectors targeted." And, in fact, a bunch of companies have done so. Here, for example, we wrote about Yahoo and Google's reporting of those requests. For example, from January to June of 2013, Google received between 0 and 999 FISA orders, including 9000-9999 user accounts targeted. During the same period, Yahoo received between 0 and 999 such orders, targeting between 30,000 and 30,999 accounts. Much of that is PRISM -- and no one has ever denied that. It's unfortunately obfuscated, because the "FISA orders" lump together the Section 702 "PRISM" orders with separate Section 107 orders, and (worse) because the companies can't really reveal users impacted, just customer selectors targeted. That obfuscation is a big problem, but is entirely unrelated from the original reporting on PRISM and the companies' response.
So, yes, of course companies were aware of the Section 702 orders they get. That's the only possible way they can comply with Section 702 orders. And, certainly, the only way they could report on how many such orders they got. What they denied was the original reporting which suggested, incorrectly, that PRISM was a much broader program, that involved direct access to these companies systems, allowing them to suck out just about anything. That was never true, and that was what they were denying. The lawsuit and the transparency reports were all about (attempting to) clear up that confusion, showing that these companies simply comply with Section 702 orders, rather than grant broad access to all accounts, as the original reports implied. And, in fact, the release of those transparency reports provided at least a little transparency (tragically muddied by the DOJ's requirements). There are separate issues about other ways that the NSA got access to these companies information, such as hacking into datacenters connections, but that's unrelated to PRISM.
Ackerman has been following all of this, so I'm both confused and surprised for why he'd fall for De's attempt to suggest that the companies were lying. Even more bizarre is his claim that De's comments were "contradicting the tech companies about the firms' knowledge of Prism." But that's not true. De is saying the companies knew about Section 702 orders, which of course they did. Otherwise, why would they have been fighting to reveal the details -- and why else would they have posted the details to their transparency reports? I find it hard to believe that Ackerman doesn't know about the very transparency reports from the companies that show that the companies were (of course) aware of the Section 702 orders he says in the article they denied. They never denied such orders.
If anything, this feels a lot more like the NSA (as the NSA does) using careful language choices to attack-by-false-implication the tech companies who have recently been fighting hard to encrypt more data to make it harder for the NSA to crack into their systems (not under PRISM, but under Executive Order 12333). In the end, De's claim is a non-story, turned into a misleading story.

Jay-Z's relationship with his personal chef has ended on a sour note. The hip-hop star's famed Manhattan 40/40 Club yesterday served up a $1.5 million federal lawsuit against Mike Shand, who was tapped to run the nightspot's kitchen after cooking on tour for both Jay-Z and wife Beyoncé. But court papers charge that Shand "failed to perform on significant aspects" of a deal to beef up the menu for the luxury sports bar's $10 million reopening earlier this year. As a result, Jay-Z and partner Juan Perez were unable to deliver promised offerings, "costing the club lost profits, loss of good will [and] alienation of clientele," the suit says. The Manhattan court filing adds, "The club has not been able to adequately replace the items and services defendant was paid to provide." The 40/40 Club's online menu currently features souped-up, sports-bar fare such as "40/40 Nachos" for $11, "Herb Crusted Mac 'n' Cheese" for $12 and "Flame Grilled Tequila Chicken Breast" for $24. Shand, who court papers say now lives in California, didn't return an e-mail. His lawyer, Vik Pawar, said, "Mike's a great chef, and it is unclear why 40/40 would contemplate a lawsuit against him. Nevertheless, we will respond accordingly when he gets served with the complaint." Meanwhile, Jay-Z and Beyoncé have been keeping a low profile in the Hamptons since taking residence out east in a $400,000-a-month Bridgehampton rental, Sandcastle. Sources say the couple have been hosting intimate dinners with friends, and on Saturday, Jay and Bey hosted dinner for 20 friends including their best buddies Gwyneth Paltrow and Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin.

Top Reasons to Visit DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Dallas-Farmers Branch
- The hotel is less than 15 miles north of downtown Dallas, close to the Farmers Branch DART station, so you'll be able to hop on and head downtown. The hotel is close to the championship Indian Creek Golf Club and a short drive from Cowboys Stadium in Arlington.
- A complimentary hotel shuttle will take you to surrounding area attractions, such as the posh shops of Galleria Dallas, less than 5 miles away.
- This DoubleTree is set right on Las Colinas Crossings Lake, and there are 27 miles of lakeside trails to walk or bike around.
- The hotel's onsite dining options include the American-style Club Café, which has an attached Club Room with brews on tap and free billiards. You can relax with a cocktail in front of panoramic windows that look out over the lake.
- Each of the spacious rooms is decorated in calming earth tones. Choose a king balcony room for a sweeping view of either Las Colinas Crossings Lake or the city.
Dallas: Historical Parks and Rejuvenated Urban Districts in North Texas
Though some know Dallas only for the massive Cowboys Stadium (which is actually in Arlington), the city is also an enclave of arts and nature, overflowing with botanical gardens, art galleries, and live theater. Historic Main Street connects many of the city's recently rejuvenated urban districts, as well as the popular Main Street Garden, a block-long public park surrounded by architecturally significant buildings. Locals come here to picnic on the expansive lawn or watch a movie under the moonlight in the summer and fall.
A short walk from downtown Dallas, you'll find horse-drawn carriages clopping along brick streets in the city's historic West End district, which dates back to the 19th century. This part of the city also contains Dealey Plaza, where President Kennedy was assassinated in November 1963. At The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza housed in the former Texas School Book Depository, you can visit the spot where Lee Harvey Oswald is believed to have shot at Kennedy's presidential motorcade.
Joggers and bikers can zip through the fashionable Turtle Creek neighborhood, located about 4 miles west of downtown, via the Katy Trail, which follows an old interstate railroad. Back near downtown Dallas, the 277-acre Fair Park is the location of North America's largest Ferris wheel and seven museums and four performing-arts centers, many of which are inside art-deco buildings built for the 1936 Texas Centennial Exposition.

|Drug: p-menthane-3,8-diol oil
|Phase 2 Phase 3
The extract of lemon eucalyptus, a common plant, has since the 1970s been used in commercial insect repellent products. Recently, it has been shown that lemon eucalyptus has potent anti-bacterial and anti-fungal effects that should assist in the treatment of inflammatory conditions such as impetigo. Our aim is to investigate this further by investigating the safety and efficacy of this product in the treatment of Impetigo.
A randomised, double-blinded, three-armed pilot study, involving a total of 30 patients will be recruited from the dermatology outpatient department clinic at Royal North Shore hospital for this study. These patients will be between the ages of 12 months and 12 years with a clinical diagnosis of Impetigo.
The three treatment groups will include a 2% or 5% topical p-menthane-3,8-diol (extracted from lemon eucalyptus) and a topical Mupirocin arm, which will be applied topically twice a day till resolution of symptoms. Follow-up will occur weekly until resolution of symptoms, which is expected within 2 weeks. Photographs, disease severity assessment and lesional swabs for culture will be taken at recruitment and as progress.

Now that my daughter's wedding is complete, my next major point of focus will be the final preparations for my Total Solar Eclipse tour of China, only 23 days away.
I should mention here that the wedding was a complete success, a good time was had by all and everything went like clockwork, boils down to good organization and the tons of work my wife put into it, even picking out my suit and tie. Even the weather co-operated, if my trip to China goes the same way I'll be a happy camper.
The major contributing factor to a good trip will of course be the weather, if cloudy skies, no see eclipse, having said that even with no Solar Eclipse I will still be in China, what a remarkable place to visit, so rich in history and tons of cool things to do and see.
I have bought lots of books on China since first deciding on doing the tour and have learned a lot about this fascinating place, such as;
-China's climate ranges from sub-arctic in the north to tropical in the south.
-China straddles 5 time zones but has adopted UTC, (Coordinated Universal Time), which is Greenwich Mean Time + 8 hours.
-China has the world's oldest continuous civilization dating back 8,000 years.
-China has the longest continuously used written language system in the world.
-Chinese astronomers were the first to record a meteor shower in 2133 BC. and a Solar Eclipse in 1217 BC.
-Over a million prisoners, peasants and soldiers were used to build the Great Wall of China. It took over 1700 years to build and stretches 1500 miles, and I'll be seeing it live and in person.
-Many religions are practiced in China; Buddhism, Taoism, Islam, Hinduism, Judaism, Heaven worship, Chinese folk religion, Christianity, and several other new religions and sects.
-The Chinese language has over 20,000 characters.
- Chinese invented the first ice cream in the 7th century.
- The Chinese actually invented a lot of cool things, gunpowder, rockets and fireworks, printing, books, papermaking and paper money, the abacus, stirrups, wheelbarrows, seismometers, porcelain, silk, the compass and kites. The kite was used for military purposes, spying or carrying messages.
-China's name came from the Qin Dynasty, (pronounced chin).
Somehow this whole going to China seems so surreal to me still, me...... who is so afraid of flying and an introvert.........is going off to China by myself, what am I thinking? It is kind of liberating to be able to tackle so many of my fears at one time, like I'm taking control of my life and doing what I want and not letting the phobias take control of me.
I'm going to leave you now with a You Tube video of the Terra-Cotta Warriors, one of my stops on my surreal tour.

I am sooo jealous! You better take plenty of pictures and not just of the eclipse. :) The terra cotta figures have fascinated me since I first heard of them. So much history, so little time.

Somehow I think the planet is going to cooperate with you, and you will have clear skies. I didn't realize you are going alone! That's fantastic (I don't mean anything against your wife!) - because there is something so cool about traveling alone once in a while, and on such a momentous journey, you will be doing just what you please all the time. But if you're like I was in Paris alone, you'll be chatting with someone at some point during the day to share it, because you'll be busting to.
I was thinking about you all weekend and the wedding. I hope ours turns out so well.

Hey Bob :D!
I see that you joined SB: welcome!!! :D I am so happy that you are a part of our community!!
Now, I wish you all the luck and excellent weather for you China trip *crossing my fingers*! I will be going on vacations, myself, in 15 days...so, I wish you all the best: have loads of fun and take a lot of photos :D!
Aww, your daughter was such a beautiful bride: did you drool with pride? lol ;)
I am glad it all went well *phew*...I know how stressing it can be to organise a wedding...I am glad your wife survived it :)!
So, Chinese language didn't evolve much, eh? I am not sure that is a good thing...but oh well...
" Chinese invented the first ice cream in the 7th century." - the Arab world claims this as well...but either way, I am grateful to both nations :D! I love ice cream!!!
Everything will be fine, Bob: consider it a spiritual trip (where you will find yourself) :)! God will be with you!
Wonderful post :D!
Have a blessed week!

Congratulations on a fine wedding. The pictures look like something you can be proud of. One of our daughters was married just two years ago, so I can relate to your experience.
I know your excited about the upcoming trip. I don't blame you. One of our daughters went there for a few weeks several years ago. She said the experience was very enlightening. It's definitely not like the USA or Canada. It ought to be interesting.
Great video. I love that display. Such a task of putting all of those soldiers together.
Happy stargazing.

Congrats on the wedding! It's great that it went so well--not always the case!
You, an introvert? Honestly, I never would have guessed, in spite of your solitary sky pursuits. :)
You will have a great time! I would love to see that wall, and look forward to your photos.
I think most of us have some qualms about flying. One would not be sane to completely LOVE being in the sky in a lone, moving object, lol. I always psych myself into believing that the clouds are like a safety net that would catch the plane in an emergency. I can (sort of) make myself believe it long enough to get through the trip.
But statistically, you have a real good chance of having a totally uneventful flight!
I hope you have a wonderful time.

Thanks Lynda, clouds as safety nets, I'll have to give that a try, I'll try anything once,lol.\m/\m/

Hey Bob now you are China expert, and you have not made it there yet, lol. I have special connection with Chinese culture too, I am a big fan of Bruce Lee, lol.
BTW bride looked beautiful! And your wife is amazing, too bad that she is not going to China with you lol, but may be it is time to learn of Independence, like you said. Hopefully I will break that fear one day too, I always need a guard with me......otherwise I usually end get lost somewhere [not funny, I really did couple of times, lol]
Excellent post, and thanks for sharing stuff about China. Anna :)

Bob, as you describe the preparation, I am excited as well! Especially since Indian and Chinese cultures are so linked. The Chinese say that India dominated China for 2 millenniums without sending a single soldier across. You will have such a fun time there! Please take tons of pictures for us. :)

Lol Anna, I liked Bruce Lee as well. I'm hoping I won't get lost too soon, I like to wander off, we shall see what happens,lol.

Silent Screaming
Scream if you have to.
Scream and prove you are still alive.
Your silence stifles me,
leaves me hanging,
grasping old photographs,
bitter and mute.
Looking like
the angry one to your unaffected eyes.
Smiling your deception at me
cause you're just fine.
It's either fable or truth
and that's based on your perception.
You who is
so happy to live your happy
little lie.
silently I feel us die.
I am figthing for love
but you can't be bothered to
if you even
have a thing left to say.
You move through this play
we are now pretending is
Our Good Life
like the man you think you should be.
Some picture you saw once in a magazine.
Stiff upper lip, tense manly pride.
Does that leave you satisfied?
It leaves me lacking,
after years apart from you
while you were standing right here
two feet away in our cozy kitchen
cooking up
heart hardening lies.
Words unspoken still sting.
I've heard everything you never said to me.
I'd rather that you would just open your mouth and
My work process for the poem posted above. It is a creation born from Patchwork Poetry.
First I found a line at Words that Sing. That inspired the whole poem. I then looked through the other poems donated and found more lines I could fit it. i was very tempted to change one word in one line but that is against the rules. Can you guess which word.
Anyway,the picture of this battle weary, stony couple formed in my mind as I wrote out the wife's inner duel between anger and anguish.
Thanks to lirone, scott, jillypoet, mariacristina and paisley for donating lines.

I love your poem. So many different types of relationships between women and men could apply here. A father and daughter or a couple.
You seal the poem in a wonderful way with these lines:
two feet away in our cozy kitchen
cooking up
heart hardening lies.
I haven't read the donated poems yet. I'll probably work on it tomorrow.
Thanks for your comments about Song of Knitting. I fel honored to have a line from that poem included in your new original.

I love how you make use of every line count. her emotions are so evident by your words. great poem. I might even try out this patchwork thing.

Nice one again. Great pulse.

Very strong piece. One could feel the frustration flying off the screen.
"I've heard everything you never said to me.

I love that close!!!

- M. Morris Gaman said...
I enjoyed this very much. Every line was worth it for the last four.
I think I must try my hand at Patchwork Poetry.
- February 27, 2008
A very telling poem that I'm honoured to have contributed a line to!
It's really interesting for me to see how the stifling silence is different in your poem.
The silence I wrote about was something I was very passive about at the time. Whereas what I really like about your poem is that there is so much more action and a sort of positive angry energy.
I feel your protagonist is either speaking those words and expressing her frustration, or at any rate will do something about her frustration soon! And more power to her too!
That's where the "fighting for love" line fits in so well - it's is a very powerful line, and one I've based my own patchwork poem around.

I like that part

"I've heard everything you never said to me" is the killer line in this poem for me, Sarah. Brill!

Teams will fan out across the Sierra Nevada on Thursday to perform their final snow survey of the season, a closely watched rite of spring that helps determine how much water will flow to farms and cities in coming months.
But 18,000 feet above the Sierra slopes, an airborne experiment is underway that could revolutionize that ritual.
Starting in early April, researchers have made weekly flights over the upper Tuolumne River basin, taking sophisticated instrument readings of the snow depth and reflected sunlight. The information, coupled with data from the ground measurements, promises to paint the most comprehensive snowpack picture that water managers have ever had.
"This is the first time that we've actually known how much water there is," said Tom Painter, a scientist with NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in La Cañada Flintridge who is overseeing the aerial project with the California Department of Water Resources.
The West's mountain snowpack forms a crucial natural reservoir, melting into runoff that rules dam operations and water allocations from California to the Rocky Mountains.


text: If we were to choose one man who's got everything going for him, then Lazar Perkov would be an excellent choice. He's young, good-looking, has a beautiful wife, lovely little boy, great house and a good job as a hospital physician. In fact, everyone calls him "Lucky." Nothing's missing--except maybe Lucky himself, who's always trying to live up to the expectations of others. Like his bored wife and roguish colleagues. And, above all, his famous physician mother, a driven woman who rose from obscurity to renown with an iron will that crushed all resistance, whether from the living or the dead. When Lucky is involved in a disastrous car crash and mysteriously saved from a sure death, his life begins to change. He meets strange people: an old man with a baby, an ancient lady speaking a forgotten dialect, a beautiful young woman with a sad secret. Their only message is: "Return what's not yours. Have respect." He gradually becomes aware that it is a message from the afterlife, from tormented souls who seem to die over and over again. But why have they chosen him? To answer this question, Lucky must finally grow up and become the man he wants to be.

Life will break your heart. So will Jonathan Kozol's Fire in the Ashes. It is full of life—messy, disorganized, broken and tragic, and yes, sometimes still full of joy and mercy and grace at unexpected moments. This latest account of the lives of the other Americans who peopled Kozol's previous explorations of poverty and personal and institutional dysfunction brings his readers up to date on the children chronicled in Rachel and Her Children and Amazing Grace. We root for all of these kids to somehow escape the rotten so-called childhoods they experienced, enduring some of the worst sociological chapters in American history: homelessness in the '80s, followed quickly by the crack cocaine epidemic and then further dislocation as welfare "reformed" around them.
So much was stacked against these kids maturing into successful, even happy adults, and so much promise was evident among them even in the suffering they experienced. But Kozol's book is not a fairy tale; there are some happy endings here that depict the luck or the indomitable will of a few, but the biographies of casualties among Kozol's kids are also included here, of course.
It is a temptation to read these stories of ruin or resurrection and ascribe these outcomes to the personal character of the children themselves, but Kozol will not let anyone off that easily. Just as no success story here remains the sole claim of an individual—all were touched at some point by the compassionate reach of social worker, teacher, stranger, even a dread poverty bureaucrat—none of the groaning failures can be exclusively assigned to Kozol's subjects. The seeds of their destruction, he argues, were sown long ago when they were children and the adult society around them persisted in its indifference to their homelessness, the soul-grinding poverty and criminality of their surroundings and the abject failure of their public schools.
Despite the often heroic efforts of those who loved them or those who hoped to help them and finally by these children of poverty and want themselves, Kozol recounts with evident personal sadness the stories of those kids who did not make it, whose brokenness was too complete, who could not be saved or who could not figure out how to save themselves or let people save them. He captures, too, the sorrow and the frustration these losses create for everyone whose lives they touched, from family members to social workers and families who lent a helping hand to battle-weary journalists. You will need heart and a handkerchief to get through Fire in the Ashes. Bring them both.

Get unbeatable with that powerful song! Perfect to push your product, ad or video in a higher sphere! Of course also suitable for movies.
In the long version the intro starts with a nice piano arpeggio, it evolves with a shaker and soon with a powerful drum part supported by a electric bass. Additional there are staccato strings for a positive-dramatic feeling. A distorted electric guitar brings in even more power, before it gets to the reflective part with makes it very exciting before it comes to the absolute climax. It ends finally with the piano arpeggio like it started.
The short version starts with the piano and comes soon to the climax where it ends.
Included is one short and two long versions:
Lifting Motivational Piano long full version 2:30
- Lifting Motivational Piano short version 0:30 in preview after 2:30

Benedetto Gialongo Wins 2009 Primo Cup In Audi Melges 20
12 February 2009
The all brand new Audi Melges 20 experienced yet another amazing milestone this past weekend. Nine super hot, very cool 20-ft sportboats by Melges took to the gorgeous waters where the 2009 Credit Suisse Primo Cup Regatta on February 7-8, hosted by Yacht Club de Monaco took place. Congratulations are in order for Benedetto Gialongo and his ITA-112 Value Team consisting of Giulio Desiderato, Enrico Fonda and Alessandro Saettone are the 2009 Melges 20 Primo Cup Champions!
Benedetto was one of the very first individuals to purchase an Audi Melges 20. "When I took delivery of my new boat, Giorgio Tortarolo and Federico Michetti were on hand overseeing every detail. They are all-around professionals, at your disposal with the objective of making sure that I was happy and would have fun." said Gialongo prior to sailing the Primo Cup. Needless to say he was very excited to race in full fleet conditions. Two other pioneers of the Audi Melges 20 in Europe also competed at the Primo Cup — Nicolo Saidelli on ITA-99 Bloody Melges 20 and Riccardo Pontremoli on ITA-111 Trikia.
In second overall and another key pioneer of this very young fleet, Filippo Pacinotti and his ITA-105 Brontolo. Aboard this determined team was crew members Matteo Ivaldi calling tactics, Marco Laurino and Camilla Bert. In third was 2008 Melges 32 Audi Sailing Series Champion Claudio Recchi on ITA-93 Team 93 that included the talents of tactician Andrea Felci and Melges Europe's Federico Michetti.
Of the nine teams in attendance, four of Water Tribe's five (ITA-106-110) Audi Melges 20s competed. Water Tribe is a organization that operates a sailing school and specifically dedicates its efforts to strengthening crews match racing and team building skills.

Miguel Barahona Arquitecture is an office specialised in customized projects for distinct clients. A creative analysis of the needs and wishes of their client is the origin of their design philosophy. The client is personally involved in the process so the identification with the final product is complete. The opportunities derived from the study of the site are the second input in the process. Research of spatial possibilities is the third one. This methodology results in a different and personal project, far from anonymous and repetitive architecture.
The House on the Hill is organised around three courtyards. The two smaller ones define an axis that runs along the path from the street to the garden. The larger courtyard is occupied almost entirely by the indoor pool, around which all the elements of the house are arranged. The living room occupies an intermediate situation, surrounded by water on three of its sides, with large windows facing the courtyard and looking into the garden. This apparently simple and strict scheme is transformed by the almost total internal transparency and the slope of the roof. The different environments of the house are all visually connected enhancing and augmenting the spatial experience. The project seeks to build a complex medium capable of encompassing and generating the multiplicity and variety of activities inherent to the domestic sphere. Three levels of relationships are posed: internal, with respect to the patios, pool and other premises; close, with respect to the garden; far, with respect to the landscape.
Sea, plastic, desert, mountains: In such an overpowering environment, the reference of La Envia Health Center could be no other than landscape itself. A landscape that is the result not only of unique natural conditions, but of the extraordinary action of man. The Health Center lies on the plot as an object without any compositional or iconographic references. This object is then subjected to a process of complexification through the use of colour, randomness, reflection and superposition, so as to make the building space- and place-sensitive. Transparencies, reflections, oblique views, and exterior perspectives shape a conceptual space that in spite of its simplicity, fluctuates between clarity and indetermination, contemplation and introversion.

US futures riding higher on recent economic data
NEW YORK (AP) — Stock futures are moving higher again following surprisingly robust government readings on U.S. economic growth and employment last week.
Investors this week will be looking for any evidence consumers are ready to start spending again before the holiday shopping season, with quarterly earnings reports from Macy's, Wal-Mart, Nordstrom and Kohl's on deck.
Dow Jones industrial futures are up 23 points to 15,723. S&P futures have gained 2.4 points to 1,768.50. Nasdaq futures are up 2 points to 3,362.50.
Bond markets are closed Monday for the Veterans Day holiday.
Macy's Inc. on Wednesday will be the first major retailer to put up quarterly numbers, followed by the others on Thursday. All of those reporting this week have cut their outlooks with consumers still dodgy about the economy.
