GADSDEN, AL—The seven deadly sins—avarice, sloth, envy, lust, gluttony, pride, and wrath—were all committed Sunday during the twice-annual bake sale at St. Mary's of the Immaculate Conception Church.
In total, 347 individual acts of sin were committed at the bake sale, with nearly every attendee committing at least one of the seven deadly sins as outlined by Gregory the Great in the Fifth Century.
"My cookies, cakes, and brownies are always the highlight of our church bake sales, and everyone says so," said parishioner Connie Barrett, 49, openly committing the sin of pride. "Sometimes, even I'm amazed by how well my goodies turn out."
Fellow parishioner Betty Wicks agreed.
"Every time I go past Connie's table, I just have to buy something," said the 245-pound Wicks, who commits the sin of gluttony at every St. Mary's bake sale, as well as most Friday nights at Old Country Buffet. "I simply can't help myself—it's all so delicious."
The popularity of Barrett's mouth-watering wares elicited the sin of envy in many of her fellow vendors.
"Connie has this fantastic book of recipes her grandmother gave her, and she won't share them with anyone," church organist Georgia Brandt said. "This year, I made white-chocolate blondies and thought they'd be a big hit. But most people just went straight to Connie's table, got what they wanted, and left. All the while, Connie just stood there with this look of smug satisfaction on her face. It took every ounce of strength in my body to keep from going over there and really telling her off."
While the sins of wrath and avarice were each committed dozens of times at the event, Barrett and longtime bake-sale rival Penny Cox brought them together in full force.
"Penny said she wanted to make a bet over whose table would make the most money," said Barrett, exhibiting avarice. "Whoever lost would have to sit in the dunk tank at the St. Mary's Summer Fun Festival. I figured it's for such a good cause, a little wager couldn't hurt. Besides, I always bring the church more money anyway, so I couldn't possibly lose."
Moments after agreeing to the wager, Cox became wrathful when Barrett, the bake sale's co-chair, grabbed the best table location under the pretense of having to keep the coffee machine full. Cox attempted to exact revenge by reporting an alleged Barrett misdeed to the church's priest.
"I mentioned to Father Mark [O'Connor] that I've seen candles at Connie's house that I wouldn't be surprised one bit if she stole from the church's storage closet," said Cox, who also committed the sin of sloth by forcing her daughter to set up and man her booth while she gossiped with friends. "Perhaps if he investigates this, by this time next year, Connie won't be co-chair of the bake sale and in her place we'll have someone who's willing to rotate the choice table spots."
The sin of lust also reared its ugly head at the bake sale, largely due to the presence of Melissa Wyckoff, a shapely 20-year-old redhead whose family recently joined the church. While male attendees ogled Wyckoff, the primary object of lust for females was the personable, boyish Father Mark.
Though attendees' feelings of lust for Wyckoff and O'Connor were never acted on, they did not go unnoticed.
"There's something not right about that Melissa Wyckoff," said envious and wrathful bake-sale participant Jilly Brandon, after her husband Craig offered Wyckoff one of her Rice Krispie treats to "welcome [her] to the parish." "She might have just moved here from California, but that red dress of hers should get her kicked out of the church."
According to St. Mary's treasurer Beth Ellen Coyle, informal church-sponsored events are a notorious breeding ground for the seven deadly sins.
"Bake sales, haunted houses, pancake breakfasts… such church events are rife with potential for sin," Coyle said. "This year, we had to eliminate the 'Guess Your Weight' booth from the annual church carnival because the envy and pride had gotten so out of hand. Church events are about glorifying God, not violating His word. If you want to do that, you're no better than that cheap strumpet Melissa Wyckoff."

Wimbledon champion Andy Murray is considering hiring seven-time Grand Slam winner John McEnroe as his coach, saying the controversial American has plenty to offer his game.
World No 8 Murray, playing this week at the Madrid Masters, has been without a coach since he split from Ivan Lendl in March after a successful two-year spell during which he won two Grand Slam titles and gold at the 2012 Olympics.
"Every player would consider someone with his credentials," the 26-year-old Scot said of McEnroe in a BBC interview.
"I like listening to him commentate and he has a lot to offer as well. It's interesting but if anything comes from it, who knows?
"When you are very competitive as a player, you are likely to be the same as a coach and that's also a benefit.
"He was a great player and he's always kept an interest in the game, which is important. He has a great knowledge of the sport."
McEnroe, 55, indicated this week he would be willing to help Murray, despite having a number of media commitments and a lack of professional coaching experience.
Murray, however, is in no rush to make an appointment.
"It depends how I do in the next couple of weeks," he said.
"If I do well, I'm not going to have that much time. If I don't do so well, I'll have a little bit more time to think about it and chat with people.
"I need to have the right person in place. I don't want to have the wrong person in place by the French Open. I'd rather wait a few weeks and get the right person three weeks after Wimbledon."
The French Open begins on May 25 and Wimbledon just over a month later.

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama is pressing the Senate and the House to complete action on immigration legislation before the August summer break. He says: "Now is the time to do it."
He says he wants the strongest possible bipartisan vote in the Senate before the Republican-controlled House gets to act on the legislation.
The Senate was on the verge of a crucial test vote Monday on the bill. It would offer citizenship to millions of immigrants over time and pour billions of dollars into border security.
Obama spoke after meeting with nine business people who support changing current immigration laws.
Obama says the bill does not contain everything he wants, but says it adheres to the main principles of the type of overhaul he has sought.

2015-08-06 19:51:56
Well it's completely legit and 100% real, but these 2 cues posted here by Hybrid are missing from the sessions:
40.In The Tunnels (Alternate 2) (1:31)
41.Fort Walton, Kansas (Alternate) (1:40)
With these two cues the sessions would be complete.
Magnus Rex
2015-08-07 07:57:29
This is not entirely legitimate. For one, it's partially made from an older fan edit which crossfades some cues. The real sessions have clean openings and endings to each piece. In addition the "demos", as far as I can tell, are almost all fake (or else Hybrid would have surely added them here). They sound nothing like The Rock score. The only real demos are the I, II and III pieces, which come from an old NGS promo.
Hybrid Soldier

I never added some for some reason. But trust me they are all legitimate...

Given that a certain someone keeps leaking recording sessions that more often than not end up getting an official release (Wyatt Earp, Jennifer 8, The Ghost and the Darkness, etc.), perhaps a label is going to release this at some point in the future? Who knows; the two occurrences may not be linked at all.

OK, so a thought...
"Opening" and "SEAL Attack" are functionally identical; Hybrid says that Hans originally wrote it for the latter scene and it was then placed over the main titles of the film. However, the former is credited to Hans and NGS, the latter to Hans, HGW and Steven Stern. Presumably, since HGW/Stern aren't credited on "Opening", their contribution to "SEAL Attack" is limited to that first minute, which does indeed have a lot of HGW-ish percussion work to my ears. That leaves the rest of "SEAL Attack" as Hans' work alone, which begs the question: why the heck is NGS credited for "Opening", then, since it's basically identical? Screw it, I'm labeling that a solo Hans cue. Always bugged me that there wasn't at least one on this score. :p

I'm sorry, disregard EVERYTHING I just wrote...The credit on "SEAL Attack" is HZ/NGS/Stern, not HZ/HGW/Stern. Not sure how I missed that. *facepalm*
2019-08-20 15:57:43
I remember hearing something about NGS not wanting his name in the opening credits since it was a Hans cue playing. So yeah. I think the opening is really just Zimmer and the NGS credit is a formality since it was supposed to be Nick's score.
2019-08-20 20:41:55
Listen to the first demo at NGS demos album of "The Rock". The opening and SEAL Attack have a few notes from original NGS theme. That's why NGS is credited to it.

I was honored, back in 2006, to meet both Nick Glennie-Smith and Harry Gregson-Williams.
I talked with both about The Rock, and here's what they told.
Nick & Hans worked very closely on most of their cues. That's why it's so hard to notice any difference between their own styles (and why they share most of the credits).
Harry worked separately from Nick & Hans. He remembered working on the San Francisco Chase (though we know Don Harper helped at some point in the process), and on "a lot of the action material from the second half of the movie, once the heroes reach Alcatraz".
The credits here tend to prove they were right.
All the Opening Titles / SEAL Attack is a bit complicated. Hans might have written the theme, but it also might be arranged for pictures by Nick Glennie-Smith (plus there's a lot more going on in these tracks than the man theme alone). So, well, I guess the final result still is a collaborative effort.

I've been listening to the complete score for the past few days and I've been reading a lot of comments and articles about it...….And my conclusion is: this IS the greatest action score in film history. I honestly can't think of a better score for a straight-up action movie (though Armageddon, Eraser and Broken Arrow come close).
Most of today's action scores are, frankly, very forgettable and bland. No themes, no actual melodies, no consistency, nada. You can't even compare them to The Rock. The Rock seems to be in a league of its own. Completely untouchable.
Anyway, I would love to hear your thoughts on the matter, folks :) Is there a consensus among MV/RC fans on The Rock? Is it the best? Or I'm alone on this and I'm just an overreacting fan? lol.

One of the greatest action scores for sure. I love The Rock as a movie was well. The 90s had some of the greatest action movie scores ever. You got The Rock, Twister, Face/Off, Armageddon, etc.
But yeah, The Rock is awesome. The opening theme is probably Zimmer's best in the genre. Then you have "The Chase" and "Rockets Away" providing sustained entertainment.
Michael Baker
2019-05-15 19:36:42
I love this score and I don't want that called into question, but I can't help thinking scores like Crimson Tide and The Peacemaker take the same basic sound and do a better job with it. Those two are mostly Hans, obviously, and they just sound more cohesive. I have nothing against any of the composers who worked on The Rock, but to my ears, the Nick Glennie-Smith stuff sounds obviously different from the Hans Zimmer stuff, and they both sound very different from the Harry Gregson-Williams stuff. And the transitions are a tad jarring at times. I've never seen anyone else post this opinion before, though, so I may be the only one!
2019-05-16 08:32:58
The 90s had some of the greatest action movie scores ever
Without a doubt. I grew up in the 90s and I was there for all of it. Truly one of the best decades for film music (and for cinema in general). I mean, it's the decade that changed action scores forever. Exactly because of scores like The Rock, Twister, Armageddon, Crimson Tide and The Peacemaker. Granted, Harold Faltermeyer kinda started it all in the mid-80s with his work on Top Gun, Tango and Cash and Beverly Hills Cop 2, but it was Hans and his team who really got the ball rolling. By the way, I'm super happy that Hans and Faltermeyer are teaming up for Top Gun 2. At least according to IMDb....
The opening theme is probably Zimmer's best in the genre
Agreed. It's the ultimate Zimmer power anthem. I know the younger generation knows Hans mainly from his work on comicbook movies like Batman and Spider Man, but for me, 90's Zimmer will always be the best Zimmer. And my favorite Zimmer :))

That's actually very interesting. Never thought of it that way. And you're right. For those who are well aware of the overall MV/RC sound, there is indeed a difference between the Zimmer style and the Glennie-Smith style. However, I think that the two styles blend pretty well in The Rock. The movie itself allows for that. So I would argue that, while watching the actual movie, the two styles work very well together and they complement each other.
But listening to the score alone, yes, I can definitely see where you're coming from. The differences are obvious. Having said that, I still consider it to be a masterpiece of action scoring. And not only action. The emotional bits are great too. JADE is an extremely beautiful and tender track :))
P.S. The Peacemaker is on my personal TOP 5 of the greatest action scores of all time. I can't believe the score is not as popular as The Rock. Same for Eraser, by the way. Watch the movie again on a good sound system and you'll be blown away by the awesome Silvestri score. I really wish those two scores were more popular with the public......
Mr Tweedy
2019-05-18 11:04:44
Though there are differences, I think HZ & NGS styles mix together rather well.
Tracks like "Fort Walton", "Goodspeed Tracks Jade" or "Jade" are exceptions for sure. Apart from these, most tracks blend very well, imo.
It's very different from Armageddon for exemple, when team Trevor and team Harry had very different styles (big anthems & guitars VS darker material and more subtle theme developments) and also different sound equipments (I can tell immediately who did what thanks to the sound banks they used). The Rock doesn't suffer from those extreme differences imo.
We fans here listened to those scores for over 20 years and we've learnt how to spot each composer (thanks to this website and all the infos on each track we got over the years). I'm not sure I could have noticed all those details back in 1996, or even 10 years ago.
Nonetheless, The Rock is one of the greatest action scores ever. While more coherent scores like Crimson Tide or The Fan grew on me over the years, The Rock keeps a very special place in my heart.

HGW told me, back in 2006 during a chat, that Nick and Hans spent most of their time writing cues together for The Rock, while he wrote a lot of action cues from the middle of the movie.
He also remembered working on a "San Francisco Chase" with Don Harper.
The official credits found here by Hybrid confirms all this!

So where can one buy this?
Also is there an "official" complete version? Cause there are plenty of "completes" out there, all with different track listings, some with SFX, some without

As all score marked "Unofficial Release", you can't.

For the new credits here (sorry in advance for overly anal-ness, Hybrid...). Wherever Zimmer appears, is it because he actually had a hand in those cues or is it just because of his theme?

Well, I think we can definitely say he did the Opening, right...?
2014-05-04 21:02:25
Also, sorry for making two posts in a row, but I guess he also did some of the Fort Walton, Kansas cue, because his name is there, but the main theme isn't in it.

I always thought that the only two really Zimmer cues in the score are the opening and Hummel's speech. But come to think of it you must be right about Fort Walton, Kansas. :)

No he actually wrote the score... No choice... Rescue...
With Nick of course but Mason's Walk or The Mission are clearly written by Hans himself...
2014-05-04 22:01:26
That explains SO MUCH. Cues like "The Mission" always screamed that they were 100% Zimmer to me.

And Hans actually wrote the Opening Title for the SEAL Attack in the first place... It only became the Opening Title after... lol

Has someone any idea what San Francisco Montage might be ?
I know that cue is credited to Russ Landau (yeah... even he worked on that score lol...).
I always thought it was "Deadline"...

Little HZ comment regarding his involvement on The Rock :
"I ended up writing the main themes, the scene where they all get killed... I think I had a hand in most cues by the end. I can't really remember all that much. Jerry, M. Bay and Nick was just not a good combination. Yes, I seem to remember the Hummel speech, and Harry learned how to write a car chase. Maybe a hundred times :)"

Interesting timing. I was wondering about Zimmer's involvement here just a couple days ago. I imagine the album track "Hummel Gets the Rockets" has a lot of Hans in it, and I know his theme is used a lot throughout, but I didn't know he was involved with the cues, really. Thanks for the info.

Exactly. The cue I notice immediately is the love theme between Goodspeed and his wife. A slower and more romantic version of Fort Walton, Kansas. I believe would be titled "Marriage"
Played as Goodspeed and his wife talk about getting married in San Francisco just after making love.

Folks, La-La Land has to release a complete edition for this score right here, right now for Christ's sake!!!!
One the best action scores ever!!!
H-GW: "I basically helped Nick Glennie Smith and Hans get through it - there was a mountain of music to be written and hardly any time (what's new), not to mention probably the most odious director alive plus the eternal task master Jerry "let's torture Harry now" Bruckheimer. The car chase was one of a few that became my responsibility. I thought Nick did a REALLY good job considering the circumstances."
Zimmer: "The main theme is mine, as are a few other bits. It's really hard to tell. I do have a huge influence in there. But I never really wanted to write any of it. It was always supposed to be Nick Glennie-Smith's score."

@Anon: Recording sessions are not necessarily complete. For example, the Blade recording sessions by Mark Isham are not complete, but are still labelled as such as they contain alternate and unused cues. The alternates and film mixes on this disc have NOT been released before and are NOT on any other version. The name of "recording sessions" is therefore more fitting, to differentiate it from the "expanded" versions out there.

Maybe it's not a shocking revelation that a wooden bench used to be a tree, but the reason this bench is such a surprising piece of furniture is precisely because it confronts that reality head on. Sometimes the hardest thing you can do is tell truth, and in this case, truth is beauty.
The Holzbank bench by German designer Thomas Schnur looks downright primitive. It looks unfinished, as if a craftsman will come back to finish the job tomorrow. Rather than obfuscate the origins of the bench with his design, Schnur leaves the wood unvarnished so that its natural color shows through. It's larch wood, which is has been the source of Siberian log cabinsAnd the legs, in case you couldn't tell, are just roughly carved logs. Each bench is hand-made and takes eight weeks for delivery from Outdoorz Gallery. Unfortunately, you can't barter your way to a Holzbank bench. Getting back to the state of nature will cost you $500.

Is it theoretically possible to have the following feature?
Each post has a country code. When a visitor comes in, the system will determine the visitor's country code. Then when the page renders, only the post with that country code is displayed. This need to also affect the widgets/site search etc.
I was asked to evaluate this. I think this would lead to if statements all over the place, in the loop, and I need to modify the widgets too. All in all I think it is doable but difficult and would make the whole code-base unmaintainable. However I want to get some insight in this, since I only have experience with themes, not plugin development.
Also I am not sure how to tag this more appropriately. Any suggestion is welcomed.
I took a look at the 'Country Filter' plugin, it's nice but does filtering in the content level not the post level. I am also looking at
add_filter(request,...) to see if this can be done at the root.

The killer tips to make your guy cum harder
Here are the four killer tips that will help you turn your guy on and make him cum fast to earn the satisfaction he deserves.
Learn how to give a perfect blow job
A blow job is the most favorite part of foreplay for most men. If you know how to handle the dick of your guy, you can master his mood of ejaculation. Start by holding the dick lightly, now rub it amidst your palms and slightly increase the pace. Once you see the wildness in his eyes, go down by kissing his chest and reach to his genitals.
Now hold his dick firmly and give him light strokes on the dick head to make him feel aroused. Now, lick around the penis before you can take it deep throat and give thrusts. The licking part will tickle your guy and prepare the cock to give the extreme fun after pushing itself inside you. Once you are done with the deep thrusts, you can carry on and go ahead with the intercourse to avoid breaking the flow.
Your guy will most likely cum in no time as you have instigated the penis to its maximum limit with a perfect blow job. Get your sexual satisfaction along with his in a simple love-making flow. Forgiving more fun, you can also make use of a vibrating cock ring to double the excitement.
Learn about his likings and disliking
There might be some things that a guy does not like while in a love-making mood. Some of such things might be interrupting phone calls, unwanted lightings, and others. So you must set the room according to his will to get him turned on instantly without much hassle. Keep your phones silent and put the AC on moderate temperature. Come closer, hug each other, and express your love.
Ask him about his fantasies in his ears and try and fulfill them right away if it is possible. If he is fond of pool sex and you have one in your backyard, go for it that night. It will turn him on amazingly, and he will go wild in the waters while pushing his penis inside you. Take him to the bedroom after a while and dry him up. Now, go for a second round but only handjob and foreplay this time. You will find him cum harder, even for the second time.
Spend a good time in foreplay
Take it slow as it is no race to come first. If you are on a mission to make your guy cum harder, then you must have patience and get him entirely on with your efforts. Please start with the foreplay and let him stay put for the night. You take the control and admire his body, his chest, his neck, his lips, and all over his body to make him feel the sensation.
Once you turn him on, he cannot resist anymore and will join you in the motion. Undress each other in the meanwhile, and you can rub your breast to his chest while hugging to add more sensation. Take your hands slightly below and grab his crotch above the underwear. Go down, kissing his chest, and remove the underwear while you go down.
Hold his penis and give him slow strokes to provide him with the utmost pleasure. Prepare the penis for wild sex in the next round. You can also use some of the sex toys to excite him. Take him to bed and ask him to push himself inside you in your desired position that triggers you the most. Seeing you excited will eventually turn him on, and he will most likely cum harder inside you in no time.
Focus on the techniques
When you start, make sure you are approaching the right away. If your guy likes massage, then give it to him using the best prostate massager. Turn him on, do what he loves, get his penis erect after which you can play with it rigorously. Prostate massager, sex toys, vibrating rings, and other sex toys can add more fun to sexual intercourse for either of you.
These are the four killer tips for which can help you get your man cum harder and faster in no time. Give him the attention he needs and fulfill his desires to attain sexual satisfaction for both of you.

6 Exercises to Strengthen Lower Back and Core Muscles
It does really take time and effort to exercise. For morning exercises, waking up early in the morning will take effort to really stand up from your bed especially if you are not a morning person. Exercise is like an investment to your body. When you exercise, it has a lot of benefits for you. It is also inevitable as you begin exercising to experience pain on your muscles and that is normal. Like what they say, "no pain, no gain". Halo health offers product that you can use for exercise and it is their Dr. Ho's 2-in-1 Back Decompression Belt. This will not just help with the pain but also keep the posture proper.
Benefits of Exercise
Exercise will help in boosting energy level
You will notice if you exercise, your energy level is higher than if you did not exercise. If you have never exercised, you feel low energy sometimes.
Exercise is good for weight loss
As you exercise and you sweat a lot, the body releases the toxins in the system. If you are trying to lose weight, a balanced diet and exercise is the dynamic duo.
Exercise decreases anxiety and stress level
Basically, studies show that exercise makes you feel happy. Exercise produces happy hormones called serotonin that help in relieving the feeling of depression. If you are feeling dull sometimes, something unpleasant came up, aside from taking it out to a friend, you can also jog around your neighborhood and it will help you change how you feel.
Exercise improves skin health
This is pertinent to reducing anxiety and stress level. The higher the stress level the higher the possibility that your skin will sog and you might get acne. The more you wallow with the feeling of stress, you are always frowning and your face will eventually get wrinkly. Instead of overthinking about whatever stresses you out, work out or jog around the neighborhood. Plus, it will relax you if the environment is quiet and grassy. It will give peace within you.
Exercise is good for bones and muscles
Regular exercise improves muscle and it also boosts physical performance. It also improves the endurance of the muscles and bones. The more you exercise the more the muscles and bones strengthen.
Now that you know the benefits of exercise in your body and with your health in general, you are now thinking that you should really exercise regularly. As mentioned, it is good for the muscles and bones. Here are some exercise tips that can strengthen your lower back and core muscles:
How to do this:
In your yoga mat, lie down on with your face down on the floor. Your both elbows should be pressing on to the ground while your toes are tuck into the ground also. Keep your abs and core muscles tight and body elevated off the ground. Hold on this position for 10 to 15 seconds then repeat five times once a day if you are just starting. You can do longer and more often once you get stronger.
- Side Plank
How to do this:
This routine is a bit harder than the usual plank. It is almost the same procedure with the usual plank but the pressure is on one elbow only. If you are using right elbow, your left feet should be above the right feet. Your left hand should be holding your waist. Do this at least 5 to 10 seconds. If you are just starting to do this, you can make at least 5 seconds then do the same on the other side. Repeat at least 5 to 10 times.
- Hip/Pelvic Lift
How to do this:
Lie down on your yoga mat facing the ceiling. Your upper torso should be pressed into the ground. Your palm should be on the ground too. While your knees are bent around 1 foot away from the butt, slowly lift your midsection or the abdomen. Hold for 5 to 10 seconds and then slowly relax and lower the abdomen from the starting position. Repeat 5 to 10 times.
- Knee to chest
How to do this:
Lie down on the floor with your back. Bend your right knee touching your chest but left feet kept on the ground. Use both hands to pull the right knee. Hold onto this position for 5 seconds. Do the same with the left knee. Repeat on both side for 2 to 3 times and once to twice a day.
- Partial Curl-Ups
How to do this:
Lie down on the floor with your back then bend your knee about one to two feet away from the butt. Both hands under the head while lying down. Slowly raise the head to shoulders 2 to 3 inches above the ground but keep the neck in line with the spine. Repeat 10 times and twice a day.
- Side Leg Lifts
How to do this:
Lie on one side with both legs and feet together. Slowly lift one leg. You can use your hands to keep your balance. Hold for 2 to 5 seconds. Do this 5 times on both sides once a day.

It's another Magical Monday over at Paper Cupcakes! This week over at the Paper Cupcake's Challenge Blog the challenge is brought to us by Lucy Marino. She made a sketch for us to follow and I always love sketches. At first I had a little tough time figuring out if the whole page was the sketch or just the circle part, but then I decided it didn't matter, it is how you personally interpret it. Which is what I love about challenges, mainly because we all see things differently and therefore interpret things differently. Just like how we create. So, I stopped stressing about if I was doing it correctly or not and just made a creation. I wanted to do 2 cards one each way, but I ran out of time and just got this done.
I made an easel card and colored the image "Orson; Many Thanks" by Paper Cupcakes with my Bic Mark-its. I used my cat eyes chalk to ink the edges of my image and used scrapes for my pp. The scallop is made from punched/embossed buttons that I glued around the circle. I thought the button holes would add interest and I loved how it turned out (thanks mom for the punch).
So, many thanks for stopping by and extra thanks if you left me some lovins! Have a great week!

NSA Code-Cracking Puts Google Under Fire
Disclosures that the U.S. National Security Agency can crack codes protecting the online traffic of the world's largest Internet companies will inflict more damage than earlier reports of complicity in government spying, according to technology and intelligence specialists.
The agency has fulfilled a decades-long quest to break the encryption of email, online purchases, electronic medical records and other Web activities, the New York Times, the U.K.'s Guardian and ProPublica reported yesterday. The NSA also has been given access to — or found ways to enter — databases of major U.S. Internet companies operating the most popular email and social-media platforms, the news organizations reported.
The reports, based on documents from former intelligence contractor Edward Snowden, emerged amid an expanding debate over whether NSA surveillance activities undermine civil liberties. The revelations raise fresh questions about the security of data held by companies including Google, Facebook and Microsoft just as more commerce shifts online.
"This is a fundamental attack on how the Internet works," Joseph Lorenzo Hall, senior staff technologist at the Washington-based policy group Center for Democracy & Technology, said in an interview. "Secure communications technologies are the backbone of e-commerce" including the transfer of medical records and financial exchanges.
"People in business will either not engage in those activities, or find other ways," Hall said.
Snowden Revelations
The reports in the Guardian, the Times and the non-profit ProPublica news website said that the NSA spends more than $250 million a year on a program working with technology companies to "covertly influence" product designs. The reports didn't name the companies cooperating with the NSA and didn't describe the extent to which the agency was using its code-breaking capability on the Internet.
The classified documents are the latest that Snowden has exposed revealing previously secret NSA programs. The 30-year-old former employee of government contractor Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corp. faces espionage charges in the U.S. and is in Russia under temporary asylum.
President Barack Obama's administration has been coping with increasing public backlash over U.S. spying activities since top-secret documents leaked by Snowden began emerging in June. Foreign governments, including Brazil and Germany, have objected to U.S. surveillance and spying operations.
Obama Remarks
Brazilian authorities canceled a trip to Washington this week to prepare for President Dilma Rousseff's state visit in October to protest allegations the U.S. spied on communications between officials in Latin America's largest economy.
Obama told reporters at a news conference today in St. Petersburg, Russia, that "what we do is similar to what countries around the world do with their intelligence services." He said that he had met with Rousseff and Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto during the G-20 summit to "discuss the allegations made in the press about NSA."
The U.S. president also said that the nation should review the spy programs to determine if they should continue. "The nature of technology and the legitimate concerns around privacy and civil liberties means that it's important for us, on the front end, to say, all right, are we actually going to get useful information here," he said. "And if not, or how useful is it, if it's not that important, should we be more constrained in how we use certain technical capabilities."
Lost Business
U.S. companies that are "household names" gave the NSA access to all communications, said Cedric Leighton, a former Air Force intelligence officer and a former NSA training director. Companies gave easy access to NSA because their managers believed it was necessary and they trusted that the government agency wouldn't do anything wrong, Leighton said. "But this takes the cake," he said. "This has done a lot of damage to our ability to collect intelligence."
Even before the latest reports, U.S. technology companies offering network infrastructure services such as cloud computing and popular social-networking applications were facing the prospect of losing business overseas.
Industry groups sounded alarm at the revelations. "This is a tragic case of myopia on the part of the NSA, and the surveillance infrastructure throughout the government," said Ed Black, president of the Computer & Communications Industry Association, a Washington trade group, in a statement today. "By secretly embedding weaknesses into encryption systems in order to create a 'back door' for surveillance access, the NSA creates a road map for similar cyber-incursions by others with less noble intentions."
'Hugely Disappointing'
Companies offering cloud services — in which businesses pay a third party to provide databases, storage and computing power — may lose as much as $35 billion by 2016 as foreign companies avoid U.S. solutions because of the fear the NSA may have access to the data, according to a study released last month by the Information Technology & Innovation Foundation.
"This is a hugely disappointing revelation," Daniel Castro, author of the Washington-based group's study, said in an email. "This most recent news will certainly contribute to the perception that U.S. Internet companies cannot be trusted."
Michael Birmingham, a spokesman for the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, which oversees U.S. intelligence agencies, declined to comment on the reports.
"Anything that yesterday's disclosures add to the ongoing public debate is outweighed by the road map they give to our adversaries about the specific techniques we are using to try to intercept their communications in our attempts to keep America and our allies safe," according to a statement posted to the national intelligence office's website Friday.
More Legal Protection
Obama and officials from intelligence agencies have defended the NSA's surveillance programs as essential to thwarting possible terrorist attacks. U.S. officials have told lawmakers that the programs are legal and subject to oversight by a federal court and members of Congress.
Of U.S. Internet users polled, 66% believe current laws aren't good enough to protect people's privacy online, according to a survey released yesterday by the Pew Research Center. That is compared with 24% who believe current laws provide reasonable protections, Pew said. The July 11-14 telephone survey of 792 Internet users has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.8 percentage points.
Obama Measures
Amid increasing public unease over the surveillance programs, Obama said Aug. 9 he would ask Congress to change the section of the Patriot Act allowing collection of telephone records, to increase oversight and transparency.
The president also said he'll propose a legal advocate to serve as an adversary when spy agencies make requests in the secret sessions of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, which vets requests for electronic eavesdropping. Last week, he met for the first time with a panel he requested to review U.S. surveillance initiatives.
Leslie Miller, spokeswoman for Google, said in an email that the company doesn't "provide any government, including the U.S. government," access to its systems.
"As for recent reports that the U.S. government has found ways to circumvent our security systems, we have no evidence of any such thing ever occurring," Miller said. "We provide user data to governments only in accordance with the law."
'Legally Obligated'
Microsoft provides the U.S. government information when "legally obligated to comply with demands," according to a July 15 blog post by Brad Smith, general counsel for the Redmond, Washington-based company. "To be clear, we do not provide any government with the ability to break the encryption, nor do we provide the government with the encryption keys."
Smith's comments apply to yesterday's reports, said Dominic Carr, a spokesman for Microsoft.
"We are unaware of and do not participate in such an effort, and if it exists, it offers substantial potential for abuse," Suzanne Philion, spokeswoman for Sunnyvale, California-based Yahoo! Inc., said in an email Friday. "Yahoo zealously defends our users' privacy and responds to government requests for data only after considering every applicable objection and in accordance with the law."
Facebook's spokeswoman Sarah Feinberg didn't respond to requests for comment.
Google, Microsoft, Apple and 19 other technology companies sent a letter in July to Obama and congressional leaders urging that the companies be allowed to report statistics concerning requests for user data received from intelligence agencies.

The salt creates a seal around the fish, which preserves its moisture and pure flavors. Romesco is a classic sauce from the Catalonia region. For cooking the fish, use two 13x9x2-inch metal baking pans.
- Yield
- Makes 8 servings
- Sauce
- 3 large plum tomatoes
- 2 large red bell peppers
- 1 medium onion (unpeeled)
- 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 dried ancho chile*
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Sherry wine vinegar
- 1 slice wheat bread, toasted, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 1/2 cup)
- 1 teaspoon pimentón or other imported sweet paprika (see note below)
- Fish
- 2 2-pound whole red snappers
- 6 pounds coarse kosher salt
- 3 cups water
- For sauce:
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss tomatoes, bell peppers, and onion in small baking dish with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Roast until partially charred, turning every 15 minutes, about 45 minutes. Cover with foil; let stand 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in small skillet over medium-high heat. Add chile; fry until darkened and slightly puffed, turning once, about 30 seconds. Transfer to small bowl. Add enough hot water to cover. Let stand 30 minutes.
- Peel and seed ancho chile, tomatoes, and bell peppers; place in blender. Peel onion; coarsely chop and add to blender.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in small skillet over medium-high heat. Add almonds; sauté until lightly toasted, about 1 minute. Transfer to blender. Add 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, garlic, vinegar, bread, and paprika to blender; blend to coarse puree. Transfer to bowl; season with salt. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before serving.)
- For fish:
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Place 1 fish in each of two 13x9x2-inch metal baking pans. Cover each fish with 3 pounds salt. Drizzle 1 1/2 cups water over salt in each pan. Using hands, pack salt over fish to cover completely.
- Bake fish until thermometer inserted into center of fish registers 135°F, about 30 minutes. Gently rap salt crust with back of spoon to crack; carefully remove salt. Use pastry brush to remove any remaining salt. Carefully transfer whole fish to platter and serve with sauce.
- *Sold at Latin American markets, specialty foods stores, and some supermarkets.
Chef's note:
Chef José Andrés says that comparing pimentón, a Spanish smoked paprika, to the supermarket variety is like "comparing it to red powder." Pimentón is the sweetly smoky flavor in everything from chorizo sausage to paella. Look for dulce (sweet) and de la Vera on the label. Peppers from the La Vera region are always smoke-dried; in other regions they are sun-dried.

Disciplinary & Interdisciplinary Studies
Disciplines ranging from history and the arts to biology and mathematics embody culturally valued knowledge and modes of thinking that deepen our understanding of the world and our capacity to create products, solve problems, explain phenomena. Understanding and engaging today's most pressing societal issues: from climate change to mass migration, from global health to the digital revolution, requires that we prepare our young to integrate disciplinary perspectives and to do so with quality. What constitutes quality interdisciplinary understanding? How do we nurture it well? How can we prepare professionals to teach for interdisciplinary understanding? How can we prepare them for successful collaborations?

Last summer the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) issued a warning about nonoxynol-9, the spermicide commonly used in condoms and lubricants. Helene Gayle, M.D, Director of the National Center for HIV, STD, and TB Prevention at the CDC, wrote: "N-9 has now been proven ineffective against HIV transmission -- the possibility of risk, with no benefit, indicates that N-9 should not be recommended as an effective means of HIV prevention."
So how did the CDC finally reach this conclusion? Research, of course. Seems that from 1996 until May 2000, UNAIDS (United Nations Programme on AIDS) sponsored a study of the effectiveness of a gel which contained 52.5 milligrams of nonoxynol-9 compared to an inactive placebo gel. The study was conducted in several locations in Africa. Nearly 1,000 HIV-negative, female, commercial sex workers were enrolled in the trial, and all women were counseled to use condoms consistently and correctly. In addition to condom use, the women were asked to use a vaginal gel each time they had intercourse. Half of the women were provided a placebo gel and half of the women received an N-9 gel. None of the women, or the researchers, knew which product each woman received, and all of the women were informed of the possible risks, benefits, and unknowns involved in the study.
By the end of the trial, researchers found that the women who used N-9 gel had become infected with HIV at about a 50% higher rate than women who used the placebo gel. Worse, the more frequently women used only N-9 gel without a condom to protect themselves, the higher their risk of becoming infected. Nonoxynol-9 did not protect the women from HIV infection and may have caused more transmission. Women who used N-9 also had more vaginal lesions, which probably increased the chances of HIV transmission.
On the heels of that trial comes unnerving data from another study. In New York City, researchers for the Population Council recruited four volunteers (three men and a woman) for a small rectal study of nonoxynol-9. The four participants were injected rectally (yes, up the butt) with 50 to 100 milligrams of an N-9-containing lubricant, a measurement typically found in lube tubes and packets. Placebos without N-9 were also used for comparison. The discovery? Lubes containing N-9 stripped away much of the protective rectal lining in all four people -- something that took hours to heal -- but the lining remained intact with the placebos. A larger study is planned, but for now, researchers are advising against the use of N-9 when having buttsex.
Rest assured that all this scientific evidence will be reevaluated again, even though these aren't the first studies to imply that nonoxynol-9 is useless as an HIV prevention strategy. Nonoxynol-9 is one of those appalling, creepy American products masquerading as something beneficial, when in fact it is snake oil. The debate over the merits of nonoxynol-9 has raged for over a decade. This substance, a detergent-like solution developed over 30 years ago as a kind of contraceptive spermicide for women, is the product of junk science. Nonoxynol-9 is the Frankenstein monster of laboratory lubes. It has never been FDA-approved for use against HIV infection, yet it was added to condoms and lubricants at the height of AIDS hysteria back in the 1980s based on nothing more than some lame animal experiments and questionable test tube results.
Yes, nonoxynol-9 kills HIV in a test tube. Vaginas and rectums are not test tubes. Controlled, laboratory experiments have little in common with real-world, human sexual interaction. Still, various companies were able to plant the idea that nonoxynol-9 kills HIV, STDs and sperm with very little scrutiny and went on to make a lot of money off our need to alleviate fears about disease and pregnancy. While cosmetic, pharmaceutical and condom companies added nonoxynol-9 to commercial sexual products, the Food and Drug Administration looked the other way and unsuspecting consumers like you and me bought into this deceitfulness and quackery.
I haven't promoted this N-9 crap since I first became a safer sex educator in 1994. Nonoxynol-9 always gave me a rash and irritated my skin. I knew that couldn't be a good thing. My male safer sex workshop participants reported similar results. I talked to women who privately disclosed their own dissatisfaction with N-9 because of vaginal lesions and irritation. It's bad enough that we've been duped and put at risk, but worse than that is the fact that the hype surrounding nonoxynol-9 was so effective that it ultimately undermined further, better research into spermicides and microbicides that really might effectively kill HIV and other STDs. Someone ought to be held accountable for this sham, because the truth is we have every right to be angry and unforgiving towards all the companies who developed, sold and falsely marketed this fraudulent substance.
Remember when we all found out that those guys from Milli Vanilli were lip-synching their songs? Okay, that was a surprising, but harmless turn of events. Nobody ever got hurt by deceptive pop music. This nonoxynol-9 business is a real scandal with real victims. We have been grievously misled by the shameful marketing of a product so bogus and ill-conceived that it can actually increase the risk of HIV and STD transmission. How is this any less abominable than big tobacco companies secretly mixing harmful additives into cigarettes and lying about it? It's not. Big tobacco eventually got busted. Public condemnation and aggressive litigation against the manufacturers and marketers of nonoxynol-9 is long overdue. There is no evidence to date that N-9 provides protection against HIV in real-life sexual situations. Let's bust them, too, because this is not one of those situations where we can say that nonoxynol-9 is better than nothing; it's good for nothing.

I am 59 years old, a native speaker (U.S.) I have a BA in English from a U.S. university and a certification from Oxford Seminars in teaching ESL. 1. What's a better bet for finding work at my age? I have not taught ESL before. Is being a tall, thin male with blue eyes a benefit here as well? Believe me those aren't my ethical values but I can see that there are some mighty messed-up notions of things out there... 2. If the pay level is the man concern, what's a better bet on that score? Thanks.
