Associated Press
Pittsburgh police say DNA taken from a 1989 rape victim has been linked in a national database to a suburban man already serving 90 to 180 years in prison for raping three girls – 3, 9, and 17 years old – from 1998 to 2005.
Forty-three-year-old Michael Lipinski, of Penn Hills, was convicted and given the de facto life sentence in 2010 after an Allegheny County prosecutor likened him to the "boogeyman" for the three prior convictions.
Online court records don't list an attorney for Lipinski, who is now charged by Pittsburgh police in the March 1989 burglary and rape of a young woman in her home.
Lipinski was previously convicted of raping the 17-year-old girl by entering her home at night in 1998, and raping the younger girls after abducting both from their homes.

News and notes on the restaurant scene from dining critic Carol Deptolla
Chameleon, a new food truck, in the works
A new food truck that will change its menu to fit the season and the event is expected to hit the streets in the coming weeks.
Dave Jurena of the Soup Market is starting Chameleon, so named because it will adapt to its surroundings.
"Our menu for Water St. at night would certainly be different from a corporate lunch," Jurena said.
One thing holding up the fully outfitted truck, which Jurena has been planning for a year: It's in Connecticut, and the aftereffects of Hurricane Irene are delaying its retrieval.
While Jurena isn't ruling out serving his signature soups come fall and winter, he's planning other dishes. "I want to stretch my creative muscles a little bit," he said. Chameleon's changing menu will offer things like food flights — a bacon theme could put an appetizer, sandwich and dessert featuring the ingredient on the menu, say.
He also wants to try desserts such as crème brûlée and is considering operating the truck year-round.

I guess truck food might have a place, but a real restaurant can do better in keeping cold foods cold and hot foods hot, though in Milwaukee, the enforcement is so lax that it is scary.

Thread: Democrat Al Franken will be declared the winner of the tight U.S. Senate contest in Minnesota
Democrat Al Franken will be declared the winner of the tight U.S. Senate contest in Minnesota
MINNEAPOLIS (Reuters) Democrat Al Franken will be declared the winner of the tight U.S. Senate contest in Minnesota, emerging from a ballot recount with a slim margin over Republican Norm Coleman, state officials said on Sunday.
But Coleman, the incumbent, has asked Minnesota's supreme court to require that a few hundred additional absentee ballots be included in the recount -- and he could then ask the court to investigate the contest all over again.
"At the moment, Franken has a 225-vote lead," after the weekend counting of what were deemed the last uncounted absentee ballots, said Minnesota Secretary of State Mark Ritchie, a Democrat who oversaw the process.
Ritchie said unless the supreme court acts on Coleman's request and orders more ballots to be counted, he will reconvene the state's Canvassing Board on Monday to certify Franken as the winner of the November 4 contest.
Even so, Coleman's campaign said it will likely challenge the result, which would require the state supreme court's chief justice to appoint three judges to investigate its claims.
Hundreds of absentee voters were "disenfranchised," other votes were double-counted, and still other ballots that went missing were counted anyway, Coleman's campaign manager Cullen Sheehan said in a statement.
"We remain convinced that this process is broken, and as a result, the numbers being reported will not be accurate or valid ... (It) clearly means that a contest is the only likely remedy to ensure a fair outcome," Sheehan said.
Franken, 57, is a well-known satirist who wrote for and starred on NBC television's long-running comedy show "Saturday Night Live," and more recently hosted a liberal radio show before running for the Senate from his home state.
Coleman, 59, just completed his first term that he won by defeating Walter Mondale, the former Democratic presidential candidate who stood in for Sen. Paul Wellstone. Wellstone died in a plane crash during his 2002 reelection campaign.
The recount of some 2.4 million votes cast for the pair has swung back and forth over several weeks. Coleman initially held the edge, but his narrow victory margin necessitated the recount under state law.
The Canvassing Board sifted through hundreds of ballots contested by the two campaigns.
"The recount has been done so precisely, and so transparently," it would be difficult to envision a challenge succeeding, Ritchie said.
Senate Republicans have pledged not to seat Franken provisionally while the race is still in doubt. Democratic Sen. Charles Schumer of New York urged that Franken be seated, which would expand the party's majority to 58 of the 100 members.
But Republican Sen. John Cronyn of Texas issued a sharply worded statement saying "Sen. Schumer's exultations are premature to say the least."
"There is the pending Supreme Court case and likely election contest that will ultimately decide, consistent with Minnesota law, who won the election," Cronyn said.
President-elect Barack Obama's vacant Senate seat in Illinois is still in limbo. The Senate's Democratic leadership is promising not to seat Gov. Rod Blagojevich's appointee, Roland Burris, due to the taint of corruption charges hanging over the governor. Among those are charges are that he tried to sell the seat for campaign cash or jobs.

By hook or by crook, Dems will get their elected positions.
Is Minnesota becoming the California of the upper midwest?
I'm still waiting for the rest of the cast of Predator to run for Governor in their home states.

Ironically, Comedian Franken's biggest joke ever might just be at the expense of Minnesota voters.
Even the Wall Street Journal calls this "dubious"...
Funny Business in Minnesota
In which every dubious ruling seems to help Al Franken.
Strange things keep happening in Minnesota, where the disputed recount in the Senate race between Norm Coleman and Al Franken may be nearing a dubious outcome. Thanks to the machinations of Democratic Secretary of State Mark Ritchie and a meek state Canvassing Board, Mr. Franken may emerge as an illegitimate victor.
Mr. Franken started the recount 215 votes behind Senator Coleman, but he now claims a 225-vote lead and suddenly the man who was insisting on "counting every vote" wants to shut the process down. He's getting help from Mr. Ritchie and his four fellow Canvassing Board members, who have delivered inconsistent rulings and are ignoring glaring problems with the tallies.
Under Minnesota law, election officials are required to make a duplicate ballot if the original is damaged during Election Night counting. Officials are supposed to mark these as "duplicate" and segregate the original ballots. But it appears some officials may have failed to mark ballots as duplicates, which are now being counted in addition to the originals. This helps explain why more than 25 precincts now have more ballots than voters who signed in to vote. By some estimates this double counting has yielded Mr. Franken an additional 80 to 100 votes.
This disenfranchises Minnesotans whose vote counted only once. And one Canvassing Board member, State Supreme Court Justice G. Barry Anderson, has acknowledged that "very likely there was a double counting." Yet the board insists that it lacks the authority to question local officials and it is merely adding the inflated numbers to the totals.
In other cases, the board has been flagrantly inconsistent. Last month, Mr. Franken's campaign charged that one Hennepin County (Minneapolis) precinct had "lost" 133 votes, since the hand recount showed fewer ballots than machine votes recorded on Election Night. Though there is no proof to this missing vote charge -- officials may have accidentally run the ballots through the machine twice on Election Night -- the Canvassing Board chose to go with the Election Night total, rather than the actual number of ballots in the recount. That decision gave Mr. Franken a gain of 46 votes.
Meanwhile, a Ramsey County precinct ended up with 177 more ballots than there were recorded votes on Election Night. In that case, the board decided to go with the extra ballots, rather than the Election Night total, even though the county is now showing more ballots than voters in the precinct. This gave Mr. Franken a net gain of 37 votes, which means he's benefited both ways from the board's inconsistency.
And then there are the absentee ballots. The Franken campaign initially howled that some absentee votes had been erroneously rejected by local officials. Counties were supposed to review their absentees and create a list of those they believed were mistakenly rejected. Many Franken-leaning counties did so, submitting 1,350 ballots to include in the results. But many Coleman-leaning counties have yet to complete a re-examination. Despite this lack of uniformity, and though the state Supreme Court has yet to rule on a Coleman request to standardize this absentee review, Mr. Ritchie's office nonetheless plowed through the incomplete pile of 1,350 absentees this weekend, padding Mr. Franken's edge by a further 176 votes.
Both campaigns have also suggested that Mr. Ritchie's office made mistakes in tabulating votes that had been challenged by either of the campaigns. And the Canvassing Board appears to have applied inconsistent standards in how it decided some of these challenged votes -- in ways that, again on net, have favored Mr. Franken.
The question is how the board can certify a fair and accurate election result given these multiple recount problems. Yet that is precisely what the five members seem prepared to do when they meet today. Some members seem to have concluded that because one of the candidates will challenge the result in any event, why not get on with it and leave it to the courts? Mr. Coleman will certainly have grounds to contest the result in court, but he'll be at a disadvantage given that courts are understandably reluctant to overrule a certified outcome.
Meanwhile, Minnesota's other Senator, Amy Klobuchar, is already saying her fellow Democrats should seat Mr. Franken when the 111th Congress begins this week if the Canvassing Board certifies him as the winner. This contradicts Minnesota law, which says the state cannot award a certificate of election if one party contests the results. Ms. Klobuchar is trying to create the public perception of a fait accompli, all the better to make Mr. Coleman look like a sore loser and build pressure on him to drop his legal challenge despite the funny recount business.
Minnesotans like to think that their state isn't like New Jersey or Louisiana, and typically it isn't. But we can't recall a similar recount involving optical scanning machines that has changed so many votes, and in which nearly every crucial decision worked to the advantage of the same candidate. The Coleman campaign clearly misjudged the politics here, and the apparent willingness of a partisan like Mr. Ritchie to help his preferred candidate, Mr. Franken. If the Canvassing Board certifies Mr. Franken as the winner based on the current count, it will be anointing a tainted and undeserving Senator.

This is nearly the play-by-play we dealt with in 2004 in Washington's governor race. Repub barely in the lead at first, barely in the lead at the second recount and magically barely behind at the third recount. He ultimately took the high road and conceeded. Since that time, the Democrat governor has grossly overspent the budget and money and drained the "rainy day fund." The state is rather close to insolvency by her actions.
Minnesota is in for an unfortunate ride.

Dr. Scott Brunger announces retirement
Nov. 20, 2012
Contact: Karen B. Eldridge, Director of Communications
865.981.8207; email@example.com
Dr. Scott Brunger, Maryville College professor of economics, has announced that he will retire at the end of the 2012-2013 academic year.
Brunger, who holds degrees from Yale University and the New School for Social Research, has taught economics and African studies at the College since 1982. His areas of expertise have included economic development in Africa and the U.S. automobile industry.
He organized and led several trips abroad for students and served as a co-leader of the 2006 and 2007 Maryville Outdoor Outreach Service Experiences (MOOSE) in Yellowstone and the Grand Teton National Parks. He also taught the College's Model United Nations Security Council course during January Term.
A former Presbyterian mission volunteer and active member of the Presbyterian Church (USA), Brunger also has been an expert on mission work and church finance, recently serving on an 11-member task force assembled by the PC(USA) to look at the recent recession and its impact on the church.
In 2006, he and fellow economist Charles Zech published Plain Talk about Presbyterian Giving, an analysis of data from the American Congregation Giving Study.
During his 30-year tenure, Brunger has submitted numerous articles and papers to various economics and African journals and presented his research at professional conferences.
In 1994, he published A Trade In Death: An Economics Murder Mystery in Africa, which he used to teach his students about economics, Christianity and the social fabric of West Africa. In 1997, he and Dr. Young-Bae Kim, a professor of political science at Maryville College, co-edited Effects of Japanese Investment in a Small American Community: A Case Study of Autoparts in East Tennessee.
Recent honors include selection as a fellow to the Salzburg Seminar for its session "The World Trade Negotiations: The Politics of Economics and Trade" in 2005.
"Dr. Brunger's support for the mission of Maryville College as a church-related liberal arts institution has been unwavering," said Dr. Barbara Wells, vice president and dean of the College. "Two important emphases at the College are church-relatedness and international education. Throughout his 30 years on the faculty, Dr. Brunger has made an especially significant contribution to the College by promoting goals in these areas."
Brunger is planning a "Last Lecture" that will be held at the end of the Spring 2013 semester. Alumni and friends from the community will be invited, as well as Maryville College students, faculty and staff. Watch the MC website for details.

Summary | Excerpt | Reviews | Beyond the book | Readalikes | Genres & Themes | Author Bio
Shan Tao Yun is an exiled Chinese national, a former Beijing investigator, on parole from the Tibetan gulag to which he had been consigned as punishment. He is ferrying a corpse on muleback over the slopes of Chomolungma - Everest - at the request of a local wisewoman who says the gods have appointed this task to him, when he encounters what looks like a traffic accident. A government bus filled with imprisoned illegal monks has overturned. Should the escaping monks be caught, the brutal Chinese knobs will punish them. Then Shan hears gunfire. Two women in an approaching sedan have been killed. One is the Chinese Minister of Tourism; the other, a blond Westerner, organizes climbing expeditions. Though she dies in his arms, Shan is later met with denials that this blond foreigner is dead.
Shan must find the murderer, for his recompense will be the life and sanity of his son, Ko, imprisoned in a Chinese "yeti factory" where men are routinely driven mad.
Chapter One
No one ever died on Mount Chomolungma, the sherpas always told Shan Tao Yun when he was sent to retrieve a body. A man might freeze so hard his fingers would snap like kindling, his bones might be shattered in a thousand-foot fall, but the mother goddess mountain - Everest to Westerners - captured their spirits, keeping them alive and within her grip for her own purpose. They werent exactly alive, but they werent dead in the traditional sense, an old sherpa had warned him, as if Shan should expect the corpse he conveyed to be summoned back up the mountain at any time. More than one of Shans new friends in the climbing camps insisted that in the winds blowing from the summit they sometimes heard the voices of those who had died years earlier. Shan glanced at the snow-capped peak as he soberly tightened the rope fastening his canvas-wrapped burden to the pack mule, lightly resting his hand for a moment on the roundness that was the dead man...
An intricate yet logical plot, deep character construction and a wonderful sense of atmosphere combine to form a truly top-notch mystery novel.
(Reviewed by Kim Kovacs).

A Short History of Tibet
Tibet, a remote region along the southwestern border of China, sits at 15,000 feet above sea level between the Himalaya and Kunlun mountain ranges. The first recorded king of the region was Srong-btsan sgam-po, who is credited with introducing Buddhism to Tibet around 640 AD. He and his descendants ruled over a unified Tibet through the 8th century, but the empire eventually collapsed into a collection of small independent kingdoms.

News Release:
Sep. 6, 2013
Candler Admissions' Enthused! blog features voices of Candler students who are living out their call while working toward their degree. The word enthused means "filled with inspiration" and comes from the Greek "en-Theos," or "God within."
Sam White, a second-year MDiv student at Candler and a member of the Student Ambassador team for 2013-14 is a preacher and worship leader who hopes to purse a PhD in sociology of social movements and race and ethnicity. His post "America's Great Default," explores the relevance of race issues in theological education and formation.
"It wasn't until my first year of theological education at Candler that I experienced, with great continuity, a small portion of beloved community; or the ability to reside in a metaphorical house whose substructure is love," he writes.
"While we are not perfect, the communities we have forged here at Candler give us hope. Perpetual fear is dispossessed by meaningful discourse and the dispensation of intentional love."

It's a glorious thing, hearing Eddie Murphy say "fuck" again. Few people ever said it better – and down here in the basement of the stone-and-marble mansion he built on a Beverly Hills cliff, it's coming from his lips often enough to make Shrek blush. "Come on, motherfucker," Murphy shouts, over the throb of James Brown's "Hot Pants" on a formidable sound system.
The motherfucker in question is a bowling ball, which is speeding down the center of one of the two polished lanes of the alley Murphy keeps here, along with an arcade full of video games and a blue-lit "club room," inspired by a similar space in his new friend Brett Ratner's house. Hanging in a corner, above an electric keyboard, is Ernie Barnes' iconic painting Sugar Shack – as seen on the cover of Marvin Gaye's I Want You and in the opening credits of Good Times. It is, of course, the original.
Murphy's ball veers to the side, leaving a couple of pins standing. He throws his muscled arms up in exaggerated agony: "Asshole!" Cartoon versions of the pins pop up on the scorekeeping screens overhead, which he's helpfully labeled EDDIE and BRIAN. As he trounces me two rounds in a row (hitting 156 the second time), Murphy sings along loudly to the music, breaking into hip-shaking dance moves and unleashing his SNL-era impression of Brown's signature "Unh!"
It's quickly clear that even at age 50, even after a long run of roles he describes as "family stuff, guys in suits with perfect hair," Murphy's delirious, essential Eddie-ness is intact. His part as a street-smart petty thief in his latest movie, the Ratner-directed Tower Heist, is a similar affirmation – at an early screening, the audience roared when he simply said, "Shut up, bitch." "I haven't done a streety guy, working class, blue-collar character in ages," Murphy says. "So maybe it's like, 'Oh, wow, I didn't remember he was able to do that.'"
When Murphy first emerges today, meeting me on a wicker couch facing a gigantic TV on a shaded veranda behind his house, he seems reserved, cautious, his eyes shielded by black-rimmed sunglasses. Just inside, pictures of his many children are arranged on a shelf, near a bar counter that holds various awards, as well as pictures of him with Muhammad Ali and Barack Obama – the president looks even more excited to be meeting Murphy than vice versa.
This is Murphy's first extended print interview in many years, so his wariness is understandable: He half-jokes that when he posed for his last magazine cover, they printed his smiling picture underneath the headline "Eddie Ain't Shit." He's wearing a gray T-shirt with a LiveStrong logo on the front, black jeans, a diamond-studded watch and a diamond ring not much smaller than a golf ball. His shoes are polished black leather, until he switches to sparkly black running shoes to bowl. At first, we just watch TV for a while as he sips from a Dr. Brown's soda – live coverage of the Conrad Murray trial; a few minutes of Casino ("I think it's funny when Pesci hits Rickles with the phone"); a Good Times episode that Murphy instantly recognizes as the one where they think there's dog food in the old lady's meatloaf. "It was so easy back then," he sighs, as the studio audience laughs.
Murphy has his many TVs wired into an archive of his DVD collection, which he seems to have memorized – and he plays me a good chunk of it over the course of the day: a couple of Sly Stone performances, including one where he jammed with Richard Pryor on drums; a 1993 Montreux Jazz Festival show with Murphy fronting his own top-of-the-line funk band; a Soul Train appearance by Joe Tex (with Murphy mocking his "I Gotcha" as a "rape song"); a fake trailer put together by Ratner for a prospective Spinal Tap-style movie called Soul Soul Soul, starring Murphy as a veteran soul singer who's constantly complaining about being ripped off by other artists ("I didn't kill Berry Gordy's cat," he explains. "I had Berry Gordy's cat killed, and he knows why!").
After we bowl, we head toward a small sitting room for the bulk of the interview, displacing his statuesque young girlfriend, who had been watching Annie Hall on the room's inevitable television. On a coffee table is the photo book The Beatles: 365 Days, a Life magazine with John Lennon on the cover and an Elvis Presley book or two. Murphy doesn't introduce his girlfriend, but she smiles at us, asking, "Who won?"
"Who do you think?" he says, adding quickly, "He did good." (I didn't.) Murphy picks up a Paul Reed Smith electric guitar – the kind Carlos Santana plays – plugs it into a tweed Fender amp, and sings in his elastic tenor: bits of Bob Marley; Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley songs, some of Michael's "The Way You Make Me Feel" in Elvis' voice; a newly written, and quite pretty, original love song by Murphy; an improvised blues parody ("I'm a tooth chipper, a busted lipper, a badass kicker/ And I deliver the punch, fight and fuck like no other"). Then, at last, we talk, with Murphy still strumming his guitar as the sun sets over the hills outside.
You had a great line about showbiz: "You get born only once in this business, but you can die again and again."
I said that? You can die again and again. But I've been making movies for so long that now it's all just one body of work. If you have a flop movie, so what? And if you have a hit movie, it's "so what," too, it's on to the next movie. If I do something and I die in it, at least I took a chance. There's this little box that African-American actors have to work in, in the first place, and I was able to rise above that box. I could have done a bunch of movies where I stayed as the Axel Foley or Reggie Hammond persona. But I didn't want to be doing the same thing all the time. Every now and then, you crash and burn, but that's part of it.
When your career hit its first bumps at the end of the Eighties, people seemed eager to say you were washed up.
You have to remember, there was no hip-hop back then, or hip-hop was still novelty music, and for years I'm the whipping boy. Anybody that wanted to vent, I was the one. I got a lot of shit that wasn't fair. The root of it was racist. If I was rubbing you the wrong way, at the core of it was some racist shit: "Look at this arrogant nigger, two thumbs waaaay down" [laughs]. Then I wasn't helping, either. I wasn't giving no humble pie: "Fuck y'all, suck my dick, motherfucker!"
The Nutty Professor was a big turnaround in 1996. How did that come about?
I had a bunch of movies that didn't work. People were saying, "Eddie's not good," so I was like, "Not good? Let me show you what I can fucking do. I'll do something where I play all these different characters." It's a trip, it seems every five or six years, you have to do something to remind them that they like you. Then you get offered a bunch of stuff, because you were in a hit, and some of the movies might be shitty, but they throw so much paper at you that you can't say no to it. That happens a bunch in this town. The problem when you're doing those flicks for a lot of paper, though, is on TV they show your hit right next to your flop, on there forever.
Is it still possible to offer you enough money to do a lousy movie?
It would be harder – I don't whore myself out as easily as I used to. I don't think about money. But I am still from Brooklyn. So in a couple of months, you'll see me at a press conference: "Yes, we are doing Holy Man 2. I can't wait – it's a real roller coaster, about the triumph of the human spirit. Back when we were working on the first Holy, I knew we had something special" [laughs].
Right before Nutty Professor, you made Vampire in Brooklyn with Wes Craven. How did that happen?
The only way I was able to do Nutty Professor and to get out of my Paramount deal, I had to do Vampire in Brooklyn. But you know what ruined that movie? The wig. I walked out in that longhaired wig and people said, "Oh, get the fuck out of here! What the hell is this?" [Laughs] It's those little things. Like one of my youngest daughters, Bella, she was eight and she'd never seen The Golden Child, but as soon as it came on, she was like, "Wait, are you going to have that hat on the whole movie?" I said, "Yeah..." She said, "I can't watch the movie. That hat is horrible!" [Laughs]

Nina Gordon, a co-founder of Chicago-based rock band Veruca Salt, has left to pursue other interests, according to Dennis Dennehy, the band's spokesman at Geffen Records.
"Nina has left the band and the future of Veruca Salt is uncertain at this point," Dennehy told JAMTV on Monday. Because Gordon, Veruca Salt co-founder Louise Post and the rest of the band spent most of 1997 on the road, Dennehy said the news came as a surprise to him. He also said he wasn't aware of any internal conflicts between the two songwriters.
Veruca Salt first received worldwide recognition with the release of 1994's America Thighs, which spawned the hit "Seether." The group, which also features bassist Steve Lack and former Letters To Cleo drummer Stacy Jones, released their second album, Eight Arms To Hold You, in early 1997.
Neither Dennehy nor Veruca Salt's management, Q Prime, had any more information at this time.

All over Long Island people are lighting candles in memory of the victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, and on Friday, the Town of Brookhaven will, too.
The town council will hold a candlelight vigil in memory of the 20 children and six adults who died in the tragic shooting. The inter-denominational vigil is set for 5 p.m. at Town Hall on Friday.
The town asks that those who attend the event bring candles.

I focus on disruptive trends in technology and cloud computing.
If you are thinking about tweeting about clouds, pork, exercise or even Mexico, think again. Doing so may result in a closer look by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
In a story appearing earlier today on the U.K's Daily Mail website, it was reported that the DHS has been forced to release a list of keywords and phrases it uses to monitor various social networking sites. The list provides a glimpse into what DHS describes as "signs of terrorist or other threats against the U.S."
The list was posted by the Electronic Privacy Information Center who filed a request under the Freedom of Information Act, before suing to obtain the release of the documents. The documents were part of the department's 2011 'Analyst's Desktop Binder' used by workers at their National Operations Center which instructs workers to identify 'media reports that reflect adversely on DHS and response activities'.
The information sheds new light on how government analysts are instructed to patrol the internet searching for domestic and external threats. The Daily Mail's article noted the Electronic Privacy Information Center wrote a letter to the House Homeland Security Subcommittee on Counter-terrorism and Intelligence, describing it's choice of words as 'broad, vague and ambiguous'.
What wasn't disclosed is how the agency actually gains access to the various search engines and social networks to monitor the specified keywords. My guess is the DHS has a "special arrangement" with companies like Google Google, Facebook Facebook, Microsoft Microsoft, Yahoo and Twitter to gain secure direct API access. This type of access would allow it to use distributed cloud technologies to monitor the daily flow of social media and search activity in something close to real time.
I would love to learn more about the technologies used to accomplish this type of social / web monitoring. The applications for monitoring trends and social statics are fascinating when applied to other industry sectors. Given the extent of the monitoring, I'm sure this post itself is now coming up on the DHS radar, so please feel free to leave a comment with any insights.
(Update 1: Reading through the Desktop Binder, I discovered the DHS Twitter account is @dhsnocmmc1 and DHS appears to be using tweetdeck to monitor the various keywords. See Page 38 – Also interesting to note they seem to be using a Mac Mini as a server, and no password vaults. All Passwords appear to be shared in a plain text word document.)
(Update 2: On page 37, DHS instructs analysts to accept invalid SSL certificates forever without verification. Although invalid SSL warnings often appear in benign situations, they can also signal a man-in-the-middle attack. Not a good practice for the security conscious. Thanks to @obraon twitter for the tip.)

So they monitor everybody then?
This is not the real list. These are words that have meaning to the general public in a security context mixed with terms with which you are unfamiliar so that you would *believe* that it is the real list.
I agree with you on this. It's always smoke and mirrors with government task forces, so to have publicly disclosed such information would be counter-productive to the task at hand – *secretly* detecting probable threats to national security.
You're probably right. This list is way too general to be of any use. And anybody who's spent any time on social media knows that people who woudl be stupid enough to plan a terrorist attack on the internet probably aren't smart enough to spell half of those words.
And even worse, it doesn't have any of the real terms that criminals would use.
So…they misspelled lightning?
Cops, Law Enforcement, Police, Gangs and Looting make the list. In a free society, there will be a lot of talk about law enforcement and their methods, so they can basically snoop on anyone. Looting seems a strange addition to the list, having nothing to do with terrorism.
Suspiciously absent from the list are Congress, President, Supreme Court, Agency, Bureau, Department, House of Representatives, Senate and other known terrorists institutions.
You are one of the few that can see. Our government has been taken over by a gang of criminals.
even if you are talking about "exercise" apparently
You are kidding me! In other words, darn near any word in the dictionary and they can monitor you. I'd say that certainly ranks in the Big Brother is not only watching you but ready to beat the c – - – out of you. When did our government get to be our nanny? Our mother and father? Our teacher? Our bogeyman? Well, they can monitor this old lady till the cows come home but they sure aren't going to succeed in clamping a muzzle on her!
I don't mind being monitored…in fact, I post all over the Internet and anyone can monitor anything I say. What I do object to is being monitored as a possible evil-doer by my own government just because I speak my piece. That I definitely object to!
If you don't mind being monitored then you should have no problem with the motivation for the intrusion to begin with. Think about it.
No, you misunderstand my not minding who sees what I have to say with very much minding being under fire from my very own government because of it. When the government starts to decide which words we can say or put into print – and people don't mind it – that's the day our freedom of speech has finally been kicked to the curb. It's already near extinction due to being forced into political correctness – this will merely be the final blow to total destruction of that right. Where is the fierce fight to be and remain an individual vanishing to in America? Are we all being force fed government control so gradually (some of us don't think it's so gradual) that we're swallowing it down that easy?
Please note, this is the Obama administration at work. Not Bush. (Not that I approve of what either of them has tried to perpetrate upon us with the so-called "war on terror." It's just about as inane as the "war on women.")
Must be me, whats a called out comment? Good luck to them, I don't know if my last post was posted or not , seems I was'nt logged onto Forbes. I come from a small town that 60 minutes once did a story on as radioactive waste was used for backfill all around the town guess when I was little I probably played in it. As a member of a community of friends online we often comment to each other on who died from what, usually about some type of rare cancer. Tell you what; might be an amazing issue, if this dept. is our Home Land Security, is it their job to protect us from any and all types domestic or foreign dangers? I'm" Expecting" a yes, so if this new phase of drilling for gas and oil called fracking ends up causeing an environmental catastrophe, is Home Land Security going to come to our rescue? Will they move in and seize the drilling equiptment, and arrest the company personal, the government officals who gave the permits and stop the process, or what. There was no-one back in the day to stop the companies that enriched the uranium (U235) from dumping the waste products all around my home town, it took a lot of deaths from rare cancers to bring attention to the problem. Although I really do see the need to monitor these internet social networks they need to fine tune their priorties as far as language, and words . Although so far I hav'nt used some of the words , I'm certainly not going to establish , a list of what I can or can't say to suit anyone. But in reality someone needed to do something, I was intrested in researching 9/11( this was sometime ago) and surfed around, until I found this site called rp4409 on U tube, let mer say this ; this is the same man running for president, Ron Paul, he has this site , and claimes we did 9/11, theres posts on there calling for the overthrow of our government, if they hav'nt cleaned it as yet visit the comments, its insane what his followers believe they call themselves the truthers. I was home watching the news CNN I believe when it went down, On TV they were useing a TV camera which in itself cannot record or change the image it sees at least at that point, I witnessed those planes crash into those buildings , and here I was defending what I saw to a bunch of anarchist idiots who said we blew up our own buildings.Check it out, they couldn't go far, thing is they are Americans, oh theres several from Ireland and Great Britain, I was there long enough to realize we really have a problem. Some of these people were hell bent on blameing American's for destroying other countries, only thing wrong now is they shouild never have advertised they're intentions to monitor, I don't know they do tell you where theres a chechj station being set up to catch drunks, and they catch'em there. problem is these people aren't drunks.
Alleged motivation, think about it.
And if you don't mind having your home searched, why would you have a problem with the motivation for that intrusion? Think about what you are saying. "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized." It's called the Fourth Amendment to the United States constitution.
And yet.. if a terrorist used those terms, I'd want the Government to label them a potential terrorist, and take a real look at them to determine if further action is warranted… Not that it's any guarantee that it'll happen effectively,
I see nothing wrong with the government looking at what folks are saying in public to aid them in profiling potential "evil doers"…
If you dont want folks seeing something you say in public.. don't say it in public.
When did our government get to be our nanny? Our mother and father? Our teacher? Our bogeyman? – Patricia….while you were SLEEPING….glad to have you join the ranks of the aware! Welcome…there's work to be done…you can start by sharing this article
Zimmy…. Yeah. If you also don't mind excepting the loss of the 4th 5th and 6th amendment. YOU and your sheep are the problem
I do mind being monitored. Facebook is private and consists of only people I know who I discuss anything and everything with. What I post on Forbes is a good representation of who I am, but it's my more professional and reasonable side. Yes, I have emotions. Yes, those get posted on Facebook, not Forbes.
George isn't the oil and power supply considered to be our national defense backbone? Tanks still run on Diesel??Nuke subs run on radioactive minerals?? Just because of some mistakes you really want to give up and turn off the juice. Or should we just buy the defense products and fuel from around the world, so it is not in your back yard? Outta sight outta mind?
When they ship you off to Gitmo they'll muzzle you…literally.
I think it's so cute when the average American with no knowledge of history thinks that there was some mythical time when the government was looking out for their best interests.
Diane, FB is the OPPOSITE of private. Do you ever wonder why the ads on the site seem tailored to you personally? It's because all your info is categorized and stored to create a profile of you, to be used to sell ad space. All the photos you have uploaded are the private property of FB. Take a minute and read their user agreement and you may change your impression of FB being a private venue.
True. But don't forgot Bush's Stellar Wind, the forebear to Prism.
The Department of Homeland Security is absolutely paranoid, chasing ghosts, and far too busy protecting themselves in the media from looking bad to protect any of us. Stripe search airport machines, keyword searches, give me a break, what a complete joke – the DHS wears no clothes, it's just another big waste of taxpayers money, paying $50,000 full benefit salaries to Wal-Mart security guard competency levels, and now these folks have unionized – this is government's answer to protect the American People? Please, we need to think about protecting ourselves. These yahoos couldn't even guard a box of Pop Tarts they stole out of someone's luggage, seriously, think about it. Email me if you wish to challenge anything I've said here today.
'Forbes' is using, and refering to, 'The Daily Mail' as a source of information now?! Seriously?
I do not like government in my privet life.But it is necessary.By posting the key words the groups they are watching will change there language.
I don't agree with that. If words have the ability to put you in jail–or get you killed, it's wrong. And it's also infringing on my first amendment to speak my mind! Why should we change our language for this corrupt, over-stepping government?? If how the gov't treats us is the measure of the words we use, we are DONE as a country!
Kenneth, the so-called "Rule of Necessity" doesn't trump the principles of our nations charter. We don't abandon who we are just because we're afraid of something and especially not because we're emotionally hurt by something like Sandy Hook. Our stubborn adherence to the rule of immutable principle is the greatest necessity. We can change how we engage those principles if there is consensus. But if we let the winds of popular notion or the strength of one overbearing sect of opinion overrule our founding principles then liberty will be lost for our children. History leaves no opposing argument against this reality. Governments must be restrained by the chains of principle, call it dogma if you must, or they will naturally enlarge their jurisdiction and power to our inevitable harm.
Hey Ken, Go sign up for the gov to spy on you and go F yourself.
"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, will have neither"
- Ben Franklin
You like Big Brother so much move to England, Ken. The rest of us want government out of life where ever possible. And we damn sure don't want them spying on us using the boogeyman as an excuse. Obviously you're not a true American.

This is interesting, but who believes it? And what possessed the CIA several months ago to reveal to the public that it monitors Tweets? Could be the media hog David Petraeus at work. It's probably hard for him to be out of the spotlight, but still … The big story should be what the hell is up with Homeland Security and its hooker-chasing Secret Service (nothing new, but again, now out in the open), and its ability to gain massive power with an unknown budget and little accountability. Forget the hell about social media. Some sharp-minded journalist should be on the butts of the good old Homeland security folks. They're into taxpayers' pocketbooks big time – as well as into our privacy.
I suppose DHS has some GS-13 special agent pulling down somewhere in the neighborhood of 80K to 120K a year monitoring the responses to this article.
Our tax dollars at work.
BTW, I have tried several times to post this article to Facebook, and it won't download. Hmmmmm…..
That's conservative, even on the high end of that range. I have a friend who has worked for HS for about five years. He does well, and as much as I respect him, he had adopted a know-all/be-all attitude about his work. He does some relatively dangerous work, but he will tell you that about half of it is make work.

He does very well salary-wise, and as much as I respect him, he had adopted a know-all/be-all attitude about his work. He does some relatively dangerous work, but he will tell you that about half of it is make work.
I am suspicious. DHS, get a frickin' life and do some real work.
Nice work if you can get it!
By my count there is 85 words on that list that are completely innocent and very likely to come up in the average fb post. Why is there even a weather section? thats everyone who trys making small talk, i could understand some of these words being used to identify a terrorist, but i doubt even with 40 of these words being used they couldnt get a warrent to do anything
My only question is: What are they thinking with this list? Most of these words and phrases seem to me to be what someone would use who is working to protect us from these very things. I would expect that if one were planning attacks and using social network sites as information transfer points, then euphemisms and code words would be the order of the day. I cannot imagine that using any of these words as key search words would yield anything. But what do I know? I am just a bystander.
But I must say that it's my observation that almost everything that our government does to prevent anything is like closing the barn door after all the cows and horses are gone.
Hundreds of billions of dollars a year goes to this vampire? Not one terrorist attack since 911 and the only attempts were related to FBI sting operations?
Kill the military industrial prison nuclear complex. They are the problem.
One of the favourite things that hackers love to do to swagger before corporations and government is to tell them that their passwords aren't protected by being hashed or whatever and that they are in plain text, blah blah. Maybe the passwords are routinely changed so that it doesn't matter? Maybe there's more to the security than you can see? Maybe their geeks are stupider than you and your geeks, but it can be fixed? It's a non-issue and not proof of anything.
As for keywords, let's start with this. Do you or do you not accept the proposition that US intelligence agencies can scan public social media in order to gather information about potential terrorist attacks? Yes or no.
If yes, then what's your justification for demanding that the government release its key word list?
If you believe that the reason is that, say, some innocent farmer will be harmed by having his Facebook perused on a search of "fertilizer", then what's the alternative? Key word searches of public data are key word searches of public data. Google and many other entities are making searches, too with no ability to file a FOIA on *them*. Again, what's your solution to the problem of terrorism and the means to deter it?
Patricia Murphy is a very good example of the obvious contradictions from some civil libertarians on this score. She doesn't mind if Google and God knows what else scrapes her public data for unknown purposes. But if the government scrapes this same public data to deter terrorists, she perceives it as a default of the government to view her as an evil-doer.
But her own motivation and the nature of her public data didn't change to evil-doer just because the government and not Google is doing the perusing. Nothing about her ability to express herself has been harmed. So her proposition — and Reuven's — is that Google should get a pass, and terrorists should get a pass, so that the government can be crippled in its ability to filter communications for terrorism. That's the take-home I'm getting.
So are you happy to live in a world where terrorists get to violate all our rights for the sake of the posturing of civil libertarian defiance? I'm not. I want facts and data about your civil rights violations. I don't think they stand up to a court of law. If a false search and seizure or false arrest was made on the basis of the government's viewing of your public Facebook data, then you might make your case. But you don't have cases like that.
Well put
Fuck you troll!
If you hate freedom and America so much leave!
hey government monitoring, i will say whatever the heck i want to say
for me or anyone else. my warning for extreme illimination is
any government telling me what i can say do or hear…..
you want a piece of me come get it, bring your body bags you will need them
Kinda makes you wonder who is watching the old fashioned printing presses, leaflets, and coconut wireless!
Folks, anyone can get access to the entire Twitter feed, and a surprisingly large number of people have their Facebook accounts set to "Public" without realizing it. If you put it out in the SM-world, anyone with enough time/bandwidth/computing power/money can read it.
Companies like Radian6 and Crimson Hexagon exist solely to help corporations — and yes, government agencies — sift through the massive streams of data flowing through SM platforms every day. They do this to discover how their communication campaigns are being received, or to monitor chatter during a PR crisis, or to find out about a looming PR crisis before it blows up.
DHS is not coming to knock down your door because you Tweeted about your online Mafia Assassins game. They're looking for two things: indication that some sort of incident is imminent or underway, or public reaction to their public statements. If you read the entire Binder, you'll see that they are specifically prohibited from collecting PII, Privately Identifiable Information, unless it appears that an actual attack in imminent.
This is not a bad thing. Imagine the type of information they could gather in a terrorist incident were to unfold in downtown NYC, with thousands of people Tweeting and posting photos of what they are witnessing. The response team might be able to build a much more complete picture of ground truth by gathering all that public information in one place and sifting through it rapidly. That's the essence of intelligence. And it's not evil.
This is very disturbing. At least porn sites aren't on the list.

If she were alive, it would be the 100th birthday of comedian Lucille Ball. For that anniversary, Google's done a special logo, in the shape of a television and which plays several clips from classic "I Love Lucy" episodes.
By default, Google's own name appears in the familiar "I Love Lucy" opening heart and script.
To tune in, just click on the "channel" knob on the TV. To change channels, click again, and a different clip will play.
Yesterday, I was hoping that Google would do something for her anniversary, even wishing they'd feature the chocolate conveyor belt episode. I really had no idea that would come true, but it did!
Be sure to check out the logo and see Lucy, as well as Desi, Ethel and Fred in action. Google blogs a bit more about the special logo here.
