The Department of Homeland Security's Analysis, Dissemination, Visualization, Insight and Semantic Enhancement (ADVISE) program began with high hopes in 2003.
It was a comprehensive data mining system that aimed to find terrorists by sifting through information from databases, the Internet, e-mail, intelligence reports, and other sources. The system was meant to compile patterns that would then point to potential terror activity.
A report recently released to Congress by the DHS Inspector General (OIG) confirms that the ADVISE pilot programs have been discontinued as a result of privacy concerns and the Associated Press reports this week that the $42 million program is unlikely to be restarted.
The OIG report points out that ADVISE's pilots were implemented before the program's managers addressed its privacy impact. Although Privacy Impact Assessments (PIA) are required for programs that collect personally identifiable information, ADVISE's pilot programs were already mining such data before the managers even began their assessments. Another major concern with the program was that DHS intelligence offices were simply not using it.
Privacy concerns are nothing new for data mining programs; they have grounded several in the past. One well-known example is the Total Information Awareness project, which received a massive amount of negative publicity before Congress shut it down in 2003. Additionally, Secure Flight, the latest attempt at a federal airport prescreening program, was criticized by the Government Accountability Office in 2005 for not disclosing the scope of its use of private information from commercial data brokers. That program was suspended in 2006, although it is back up and will begin testing this fall.

you should really run Paradox Haze its the best card for suspend deck and +1 for the idea :)
you cant use Bant Charm , green and white aren't in your general's colors
@zkfuzzy1 thanks for the suggestion!
@wallybu49 it's one of the cards I have standing in for RtR cards, which I don't think we're up when I initially made this. The list is in the description.
i like this +1 for the name
also to keep wit hthe them of getting awesome thigns for little. Counterlash
Worldfire !!!!!!!!!
As fun as it would be, I feel like I'd be pretty hated on if I ran Worldfire with this
That's the point. Trolololololol
Worldfire banned... :( so good since you could just tap all your mana to resummon Jhoira when it hits.
Perhaps Omniscience
Is Worldfire really banned? Because you could exile a spell with a time counter, then Worldfire, then win (if it's like a Flames of the Firebrand or something...).
Do you have some good lands or planeswalkers to put in with it?
Love the title btw.
Yeah Worldfire is banned, otherwise following it up with a suspended Flames would be the most simply brilliant play in the book. I unfortunately only have Chandra, the Firebrand and Tibalt, the Fiend-Blooded for in color planeswalkers, neither of which are good enough to put in. Well, I'm considering Chandra, the Firebrand depending on how it works out currently. Also, I don't have any great lands to add in, but if you have any suggestions for great & affordable ones, I'd love to hear! Same applies to any affordable (let's say a few bucks) Planeswalkers, creatures, and spells.
Chandra, the Firebrand is a decent planeswalker. Her +1 is quite utilitarian (take out all those 1-butt utility creatures hiding over there, or just slowly plink away) and her -2 is situationally very handy. Note that you do cast the spells as they come out of suspend, which means her ability can double those.
At the same time, she's not overtly powerful or game-breaking, so you're not painting a huge target on yourself by having her out there.
In general, she won't win the game for you, but she'll probably do reasonable amounts of work before someone decides to off her. And if they blow a premium spell to do so, you've probably traded up.
As for your sideboard, which I presume is really the maybe- and acquire-board: I think Mercurial Chemister should slot in here. The card draw he potentially provides is pretty nutso, and his creature removal ability is strong too - particularly considering how many large CMC spells you have in here. Perhaps in place of Trench Gorger ? That guy has never worked for me as well as I wanted him to. Your mileage may have varied, however.
Your evaluation of Chandra, the Firebrand seems proper, so I'll work her in, likely over Past in Flames . Also, Does Trench Gorger at least do well in thinning a deck? That's really what I plan to use it for, as this deck can get by perfectly well with 6-8 lands, and many commander games for my meta last to the point of everyone having about double that, so I figure it would enable me to end up switching 6-8 draws a game from lands to nonlands. I do want Mercurial Chemister and Epic Experiment to make their way into this deck, but I have yet to figure out what to cut. If Trench Gorger doesn't work out, I'll replace it with the Chemister, and if Phyrexian Ingester doesn't work out, I'll replace it with the Experiment.
I meant card:Firemind's Foresight not Epic Experiment , since I like counter magic.
He should work well at that, yeah. I've actually never had the opportunity to use him that way; I've only tried him in two decks, and one was a mana-hungry deck (so he didn't really fit for that reason) and the other, I only ever drew him early. I'll freely admit my distaste for him isn't terribly scientific. I can see him doing good things. I just sort of like Chemister better because...I mean c'mon, he's got a SCIENCE CANNON. =p
I'm not certain about Epic Experiment . It's really flashy and potentially really fun, which is usually enough reason on its own to run it in EDH. But I think unless you're getting a bunch of spells off of it it's not all that great, and you've only got 25 things that it can hit in here. Which is a quarter of the deck, I know, but I think it wants a higher mass than that. Also it's very mana-intensive and doesn't play well with the suspend-card theme of the deck.
Ahh! Yes. card:Firemind's Foresight makes much more sense then. Yeah, that'd work well in here, since you've got a good mix of targets for all three parts (except 1 CMC I guess, but oh well), and it can fetch you your buyback spells so you can start being silly with them.
Yeah the only thing I've seen Gorger used in is Mirror Mastery, and his exiling lands doesn't really help that deck so I have yet to actually get a feel for how that works. And I figure my 1 cmcs are Ponder , Brainstorm , and Clockspinning , so at least all 3 options are always good.
+1 for Doctor Who.
Also, have you considered Utvara Hellkite ?
@Shabobi - Yes, I have, and he is brilliant, however my meta has a dragon deck around Karrthus, Tyrant of Jund so I do my best to ignore too many dragons. I keep the Nivs in this deck because they have fun abilities, and I would not hate to see them taken and used against me. Utvara Hellkite however would be taken along with any 6/6 tokens he has produced, which would cause a huge swing in favor of the already incredibly powerful Dragon deck.
Nin, the Pain Artist + Stuffy Doll = Win.
Your sideboard is only aloud to be 10 cards in EDH. also you should be running Timecrafting it is the best card in the deck. here is my version of Jhoira of the Ghitu

Flippin' Equus! Unfeasibly old horse bone DNA triumph
Biologists have sequenced the oldest full genome from a horse bone, in the process discovering that the ancient ancestor of the modern horse first appeared four million years ago, nearly twice as early as previously thought. What has the science world most excited, though, is the fact that they were even able to work on such old …
"..the ancient ancestor of the modern horse first appeared four million years ago..."
...and three million, nine hundred and ninety nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety five years ago, Tesco launched their value beefburger range.
I wonder if this equine-DNA-discovery could explain the pack of Tesco "Value" Bison-burgers I found recently at the back of the fridge with "Best before: End of Pleistocene epoch" on it.
Was just about to say...
It's amazing what they can tell from a pack of burgers nowadays..

Re: How

Should one subscribe to that particular mythology, there is only one logical conclusion:
There was only God before creation. Horse existed before creation. Therefore God is a horse.
Simple, yet profound.

Looking forward to "Pliocene Stable" where a crazy millionaire clones an ancient proto-equine and then heartwarmingly they win the Kentucky Derby because one teenage girl believes in them, in spite of being only 18" high at the shoulder. The perfect balance of "Jurassic Park" and "Racing Stripes."
Re: Stablised
Except that modern race horses have been selectively bred for speed over 1.5 miles. They haven't been bred for survival against the kind of predators that existed four million years ago. So while those ancient horses were probably bigger, stronger, tougher, etc, they likely weren't as fast. Nor were they likely as willing to have simians on their backs.
Re: Stablised
You have clearly never watched Racing Stripes - it wasn't a problem for that talking zebra is all I'm saying.
Also, if I'm honest, I can't imagine there are many other Reg readers who have watched Racing Stripes.
If you look at the early record for equines they were really little - eohippus fossils are little bigger than a mousedeer - the other horse species ( many of which seem to have been inferred from fairly slim evidence- as far as I can tell the existence of Equus Giganteus is inferred almost entirely from a couple of fossil teeth ) may have been bigger but they were also way more recent.
What I would be really interested to find more about would be what this can tell us about the differences between the american equine strains, which appear to have died out well before the modern era, and the European ones that survived through domestication.
Re: Stablised
"So while those ancient horses were probably bigger, stronger, tougher, etc,"
You've got that a bit wrong - they were significantly smaller than nearly all modern horses, can't remember exactly but maybe the size of a large-ish dog. They weren't any tougher either as their main form of defence was running away, and they had multi-toed feet rather than single hooves. Over time as they turned running away into an art form, they spent more & more time up on their toes and eventually the middle toe only - which evolved into the hoof as we know it today. They still have vestigal toes which stop about half way down their lower leg, and the current hoof is really an evolved toe nail.
Hyracotherium angustidens
IT will always be Eohippus to me!
Re: Stablised
Yeah, "Black Eohippus" just doesn't quite have the ring to it.
Re: Stablised
Makybe Diva would like to have a word with you about "bred for 1.5 miles".
As for simians on back: it only takes one to be willing.
Literally: it was apparently one, lone stallion in the Asiatic steppes that was willing to have somebody sit on him and from whom all our rideable horses are descendents. (source: The Horse, the Wheel, and Language" by David Anthony, who specialises in that research.)
Re: Stablised
I'd venture the guess that you'll find a close genetic relationship between Przewalski's Horses and Tarpans. In fact, some quick research on some of the "horsey" sites I frequent (so yeah, I'm a geek who rides and owns horses, what of it?), indicate that horses evolved in the Americas and only survived because they migrated westward into Asia.
Interesting link here. Well interesting for those who are into horses.
Re: Stablised
"ancient horses were probably bigger". Actually smaller.
Re: Stablised
And that one stallion was, no doubt, ridden by Mitochondrial Eve.
@breakfast, start taking your "Pliocene Stable" script round Hollywood, it's a winner!

The answer for why the dating metods are at odds with the 6k year age of the earth and the answer is found in Genesis. For the first 1000 years after creation the earth was covered by a cloud layer thick enough to affect the amount of radiation being absorbed by living mater. When you extrapolate the decay rates pre vs post flood you end up with wildly varying dates in the past as the dating methods assume uniform absorption based on today's irradiation levels. Basically bad science. The recovered DNA is probably around 5000 years old trapped in the ice in the post flood climate shifts...
Phar Lap can be sequenced then?
The last word was that the DNA was "too damaged" after less than 100 years to be properly sequenced.
The skin is in a museum in Melbourne, the skeleton is in New Zealand and the heart is in Canberra I believe.

It's been proven that an 81mg of aspirin a day helps to keep down heart attacks and strokes. It can sometimes save your life.
In some cases, it won't work. I take 325 mg of Aspirin a day, and Plavix , which is a blood thinner. I went to bed the night of Dec 29th 2008, and woke up around 4:30am having a stroke. I was never so scared in my life. I had lost the use of my right side.
If it had been my heart, I wouldn't have even questioned it, but a stroke? I'm right handed, so it was a struggle to call 911, but I got it done and they were soon there. I don't remember a whole lot of what was going on in ER, but I was flown to Swedish hospital in Denver Colorado.
Aspirin does work. Most people don't have to take as much as I do, because it's for precautionary measures. I have had three arteries in my heart opened and because of aspirin, they are all still open. The last two were opened five years ago, and I have done well. On my last cardiology check-up, the Doctor told me I could cut down to 81 mg a day now. Do you know how wonderful that sounded to me?
A friend of mine came up to me the other day in the grocery store and said he knew about my heart condition. He had just been in for a check up and at his age, the doctor wanted him to start taking 81 mg of aspirin a day. He wanted to know if this was the right thing to do. Apparently he doesn't like taking medication. I told him that it was definitely not going to hurt him, and might wind up saving his life one day.
A lot of people have to get the enteric coated aspirin because aspirin has a tendency to mess up your stomach. It can cause an ulcer to bleed because it is a blood thinner. 81 mg is not strong enough to cause you to bleed out, but it can cause some stomach distress.
Bear with me on this article. It's the first article I have written since my stroke. My mind is still off balance part of the time, and it's been a long six months.
Even if you're not on aspirin at this time, if you start having chest pain, or heaviness in your chest, radiating up into your left arm, it would be a good time to take an aspirin. When you get to the hospital, they will give you four 81 mg totaling up to 324 mg to help your heart. anyway. They also usually give you a nitroglycerin tablet .
Talk to your doctor and see if he wants you to start an aspirin regimine. Like I said, it won't hurt you but it could save your life. I would hate to think where I would be if I hadn't been on that much aspirin the night I had the stroke. Don't take chances with your life. A stroke can turn your whole life upside down, and a heart attack can kill you. A bad enough stroke just makes you wish you were dead.

The future of cloud computing is all about lowering costs and getting the ability to easily move between service providers. At the Cloud Power Panel on Friday at the 1st International Cloud Expo in San Jose, CA, the power panelists - Songnian Zhou, CEO of Platform Computing; Thorsten von Eicken, CTO of RightScale; Peter Nickolov, President & CTO of 3tera; Erik Carlin, Sr. Cloud Architect, Mosso/Rackspace; and Steve Herrod, CTO, VMware - examined the risks and rewards of Cloud Computing for the enterprise.
From left, Jeremy Geelan, Conference Chair; Songnian Zhou, CEO of Platform Computing; Thorsten von Eicken, CTO of RightScale; Peter Nickolov, President & CTO of 3tera; Erik Carlin, Sr. Cloud Architect, Mosso/Rackspace; and Steve Herrod, CTO, VMware
Songnian Zhou compared the idea of clients moving to the cloud by comparing it to someone moving from a home to a hotel room.
Erick Carlin also pointed out the importance of being able to distinguish between this "cloud dream" and the actual reality of the cloud...what can actually be done with a single set of technology.
Then moderator Jeremy Geelan asked, "Where should customers start?"
"We don't want to be held hostage; we want to be able to have choices," responded Zhou. He described someone starting out on the cloud as starting out on a 10 year evolutionary period. To go step by step and in the end you will probably have your own hybrid experience.
Thorsten von Eicken believes we should jump right in. "Launch the application in the cloud today. Join the successful companies in the cloud today." According to Peter Nickolov, your journey into the cloud really depends on where you want to go, what you want to do. "If you want to build your own cloud, get the platform installed on your own service and get started that way."
"Just try it, said Carlin. "The thing about the cloud is its lightweight entry and exit. It is easy to try in terms of practical application." For the enterprise: there is a great deal of importance in the support, having someone there to help you, enabling customers to use the cloud.
Stephen Herrod thinks the customer should use the cloud on their own terms.
Geelan then asked the panelists, "In the next five months between this conference and the next one - the 2nd International Cloud Computing Conference 2009 East - what do you see happening in the cloud?"
Having a larger breadth in vendors, having high-profile applications - global access to the cloud, having more cloud options, more discussions of open standards, and in general having a greater adoption of the cloud.

Docker offers a new, lightweight approach to application portability. Applications are shipped using a common container format and managed with a high-level API. Their processes run within isolated namespaces that abstract the operating environment independently of the distribution, versions, network setup, and other details of this environment. This "containerization" has often been nicknamed "the new virtualization." But containers are more than lightweight virtual machines. Beyond their small...

The move in recent years to cloud computing services and architectures has added significant pace to the application development and deployment environment. When enterprise IT can spin up large computing instances in just minutes, developers can also design and deploy in small time frames that were unimaginable a few years ago. The consequent move toward lean, agile, and fast development leads to the need for the development and operations sides to work very closely together. Thus, DevOps become...

So Parkour is a new "sport" that involves jumping off of things and busting backflips in urban areas. Unless you suck at Parkour, cuz than it involves a whole bunch of falling and getting hurt.
Parallel parking can be a bitch sometime. Personally, I don't have a problem with it but there are RC cars bigger than mine. However, this is a much better parking job that Maggie Meadows could ever pull off. If you ever have to chance to ride with Maggie, here's a bit of advice...DON'T! Especially if you have heart problems, motion sickness or a reason to live!
I'm willing to bet booze plays a factor in at least 85 percent in these fails. Check out all of these people sucking at life.
We have all seen fork lifting accidents and errors. This one though is such a shame! Even though I knew what was going to happen I couldn't help but cringe and think to myself "please don't fall, please don't fall, please don't fall!" Either way the fork lift operator needs to be fired and sentenced to death for such negligence!
If little kids weren't so durable this wouldn't be funny. But, you put the little guys out on the playground...they are going to get hurt. AND it's going to be hilarious! Swings provide parents of hours of relief and entertainment!
So we all know that Tony has been working out everyday this year. We finally got some footage of him to see how he is actually doing. Remind me not to get into a bar brawl with him...we wouldn't win!
It still amazes me that idiots all over the world are still trying to be like someone from Jackass. Seems like it's just one stupid video after the other but every once in awhile you get a good one like this! Definitely a great backfire!
FIRE THE CAMERA GUY! This could have been the best video ever but some idiot in the control both ruined all the fun! Sure there are kids in the audience BUT you are at a hockey game. Let them get the full adult experience...Hockey, Beer, Fights and hot chicks making out!
I was a dumb ass kid. But this dumb ass kid takes being oblivious to a new level of stupidity. Check out his face versus a glass door.
Since we have a strip club on every corner in this town I figured this was pretty appropriate. Now granted, most of the ladies in this area are pro's at working the pole...the ones in this video are not! But, we all have to start somewhere. With a little practice and some hard work, these girls will raise their kids and work their way through college in no time!
This is why you shouldn't showoff! I don't know how he didn't break his neck after this dunk. The video itself hurts to begin with but the slow motion makes me cringe! See for yourself.

( Fact Sheets available at Town Hall )
Chenango County - Tax Assessment Rolls
2013-2014 Basic STAR Exemption Registration Program
(For school tax calculations and bills that will be sent in Fall 2014)
Located along Chenango County's eastern edge, the Town of New Berlin encompasses the Village of New Berlin as well as the hamlet of South New Berlin. The rural community about 55 miles from Binghamton offers recreational opportunities as well as historical attractions.
New Berlin was formed from Norwich in 1807. It is highly likely the town was named "New" because one of its earliest settlers originated in Berlin, NY or Berlin, Connecticut. Today, the community still values its rich history. The village's historic district includes 122 properties in both residential and commercial areas. Preferred Manor, built in 1831, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The large home, which was a stop on the Underground Railroad, features one of two indoor weather vanes in existence. The building is now owned by Preferred Mutual Insurance Co. and is used as a bed-and-breakfast.
Hunts Pond State Park, on Hunts Pond Road off State Route 8, offers a boat launch, fishing and a picnic area. The park, which is open year-round, does not have established trails but adjacent state land is available for hiking, snowmobiling and cross-country skiing.
The community is served by the New Berlin Library, at 15 S. Main St. in New Berlin, as well as the South New Berlin Free Library, at 8 Main St., South New Berlin. Area children attend the Unadilla Valley Central School District.
The town is home to 2,803 residents, according to Census 2000, which showed the population fell by almost 8 percent during the last decade. The village population numbers 1,129, a 7 percent drop from its 1990 census figure.
There will be a Rabies clinic in New Berlin at the Fire house from 5:30-6:30pm on Thursday 6/19

Clarion Project:
Video clips of the Islamist group Islamic State flag flying freely in Jordan – as well as clips of the organization operating openly against Jordanian security forces – have been circulating widely on social media. The phenomena has infuriated the group's detractors who accuse security forces of being lax regarding the growing support for the extremist group in Jordan.
The extremist group (formerly ISIS, the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria) has taken over large swaths of territory in Iraq and Syria – beheading, kidnapping and imposing sharia (Islamic) law in its wake.
One clip (see below) is particularly chilling. It shows Jordanian followers of the Islamic State carrying AK-47s and pistols stopping a convoy of Jordanian security personnel and private vehicles on a highway. When the motorcade approaches, the Islamic State men, waving the flag of the Islamic caliphate of the Islamic State, block the road and begin shooting in the air, while continually shouting "Allah Akbar! (God is the greatest)." The security forces, including police, remain in their cars rather than confronting the Islamic State supporters.
It is unclear from the video as to why the police did not confront the Islamic State supporters. In an Arabic news report, it was written that the Islamic State supporters were celebrating the release from jail of one of their followers. A careful viewing of the video shows dozens of Islamic State supporters moving forward through the convoy while shooting their guns. At one point, it appears that they meet someone and stop to greet him with hugs. It is possible that the released prisoner was being transported in the convoy and was released at that moment.
Regardless of the story behind the video, what is telling is the show of force against the Jordanian security officials. Moreover, the clips are also concerning because they show a sophisticated level of organization of the extremist group in Jordan. It is obvious that the group has a working "media department," as shown by the films.
