They kill lots of 16 year olds.
Even people younger than 16, for who their fathers are or where they come from.
No one notices.
But this guy is written about cause he had an American passport.
Saddams grandson was 15 when he was executed by American forces.
The killing of Awlaki's 16-year-old son
Thursday, 20 October 2011 18:31
By Glenn Greenwald
Two weeks after the U.S. killed American citizen Anwar Awlaki with a drone strike in Yemen — far from any battlefield and with no due process — it did the same to his 16-year-old son, Abdulrahman al-Awlaki, ending the teenager's life on Friday along with his 17-year-old cousin and seven other people. News reports, based on government sources, originally claimed that Awlaki's son was 21 years old and an Al Qaeda fighter (needless to say, as Terrorist often means: "anyone killed by the U.S."), but a birth certificate published by The Washington Post proved that he was born only 16 years ago in Denver. As The New Yorker's Amy Davidson wrote: "Looking at his birth certificate, one wonders what those assertions say either about the the quality of the government's evidence — or the honesty of its claims — and about our own capacity for self-deception." The boy's grandfather said that he and his cousin were at a barbecue and preparing to eat when the U.S. attacked them by air and ended their lives. There are two points worth making about this:
(1) It is unknown whether the U.S. targeted the teenager or whether he was merely "collateral damage." The reason that's unknown is because the Obama administration refuses to tell us. Said the Post: "The officials would not discuss the attack in any detail, including who the target was." So here we have yet again one of the most consequential acts a government can take — killing one of its own citizens, in this case a teenage boy — and the government refuses even to talk about what it did, why it did it, what its justification is, what evidence it possesses, or what principles it has embraced in general for such actions. Indeed, it refuses even to admit it did this, since it refuses even to admit that it has a drone program at all and that it is engaged in military action in Yemen. It's just all shrouded in total secrecy.
Of course, the same thing happened with the killing of Awlaki himself. The Executive Branch decided it has the authority to target U.S. citizens for death without due process, but told nobody (until it was leaked) and refuses to identify the principles that guide these decisions. It then concluded in a secret legal memo that Awlaki specifically could be killed, but refuses to disclose what it ruled or in which principles this ruling was grounded. And although the Obama administration repeatedly accused Awlaki of having an "operational role" in Terrorist plots, it has — as Davidson put it — "so far kept the evidence for that to itself."
This is all part and parcel of the Obama administration's extreme — at times unprecedented — fixation on secrecy. Even with Senators in the President's own party warning that the administration's secret interpretation of its domestic surveillance powers under the Patriot Act is so warped and radical that it would shock the public if they knew, Obama officials simply refuse even to release its legal memos setting forth how it is interpreting those powers. As EFF's Trevor Timm told The Daily Beast today: "The government classified a staggering 77 million documents last year, a 40 percent increase on the year before." And as I wrote about many times, the Obama administration even tried — and failed — to force The New York Times' James Risen to reveal his source for his story about an inept, disastrous CIA effort to infiltrate Iran's nuclear program, but as Politico's Josh Gerstein reports today, the Obama DOJ is now appealing the decision in Risen's favor. Gerstein writes:
The executive director of the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, Lucy Dalglish, said the appeal was troubling for First Amendment advocates, but not unexpected.
"I'm not surprised at all," Dalglish said "The Obama administration has made it absolutely clear they detest leakers and they are going to be very aggressive against leakers."
Since Obama took office, his administration has initiated five prosecutions of alleged leakers under the Espionage Act — a sum roughly equal to the total number of such prosecutions in all prior administrations combined. . . .
"It's really looking like they want to put Risen in prison," [the defendant's lawyer Edward] MacMahon said in a brief interview. . . . "For the journalists in the world, it's quite a significant First Amendment appeal."
You can offer the ability to citizens to choose from one of the two parties and elect their leaders as much as you want. But "democracy" is an illusion — a sham — if the most significant acts taken by those leaders are kept concealed from the citizenry. Dana Priest and William Arkin wrote a multi-part series, and followed it up with a book, describing "Top Secret America": the sprawling, secret government/private-sector apparatus accountable to nobody. Leaks and whistleblowers are the only real avenue remaining for citizens to know what their government does, and it's why the Obama administration is so obsessed with persecuting whistleblowers, crushing WikiLeaks, and now even trying to imprison one of the nation's best investigative journalists.
For many people, this type of secrecy is not bothersome because — when their party controls the White House — they trust their leader to be honest and act properly; that's what Bush followers who viewed Bush as a good, earnest Christian constantly said in response to objections over radical secrecy, and it's what many Obama followers say now (if Obama says someone is a Terrorist, I don't need to see evidence: I'm sure he is – if Obama says Iran is behind a Terrorist plot, I don't need to see evidence: I'm sure they are). But that obviously isn't a healthy mindset when forming expectations of political leaders. More so, you can't have a functioning democracy if the government refuses even to discuss its most radical and significant acts. The Obama administration is just off waging a secret war in Yemen, killing its own citizens from the sky, and refusing to account to anyone for what it's doing. If you accept that level of secrecy, what don't you accept?
(2) Every now and then it's worth pausing to reflect on how often we talk about the killing of people by the U.S. Literally, the U.S. government is just continuously killing people in multiple countries around the world. Who else does that? Nobody — certainly nowhere near on this scale. The U.S. President expressly claims the power to target anyone he wants, anywhere in the world, for death, including his own citizens; he does it in total secrecy and with no oversight; and this power is not just asserted but routinely exercised. The U.S., over and over, eradicates people's lives by the dozens from the sky, with bombs, with checkpoint shootings, with night raids — in far more places and far more frequently than any other nation or group on the planet. Those are just facts.
What's most striking about this is how little effort is needed to induce America's political and media elites to acquiesce to it. The government need do nothing more than utter empty nationalistic phrases such as "we're at war" and "Terrorist!" and this unparalleled, endless state violence all becomes instantly justified. Yesterday, Yemen expert Gregory Johnsen wrote about the Awlaki killings: "Many Yemenis can understand (if disagree) killing the father, few can understand killing the son," and pointed to this Facebook entry from a young Yemeni as illustration of what he meant; read the text:
I have no doubt that many Americans, probably most, would consider this comparison to be outrageous hyperbole, even offensive and slanderous. I have just as little doubt that many Americans, probably most, would be saying things quite similar to this if it were another country, engaging in far more violence than all others, routinely zapping innocent teeangers, children, women and men out out of existence on American soil using sky robots and cluster bombs (just look at America's ongoing reaction to a single, one-day attack on its soil a full decade ago). But the U.S. does this so often, and has for so long, that most of the citizenry has either concocted or ingested mental and intellectual strategies for pretending this doesn't happen or justifying it when they can't. So we just killed an American teenager and his teenage cousin by drone-bombing them to death? They merely join a very long list of similar recent victims — a list that, paradoxically, makes less of an impact the longer it becomes.

We were very pleased with the condo and pool, not to mention the proximity to EVERYTHING we needed. The Beach, the store, other beaches...It was a very quiet neighborhood and everyone in the area were very friendly...We visited over the 4th of July and the fireworks were very nice. We visited with 2 teenage girls, my husband and myself and it was perfect for us. There are about 14 or 15 stairs to climb.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, sightseeing, girls getaway, families with teenagers, adventure seekers.

We just loved our stay at Madeira Beach Yacht Club. The condo was well equipped and the owners were amazing to work with and so accomodating. The beds were very comfortable and this was important to us. It was also fabulous to have the pool so close for late night swims. Having the Gulf of Mexico, grocery store, drug store, dentist, walk in clinic, restaurants, hair dresser, post office, etc. within walking distance was great. The complex itself is absolutely beautiful and well looked after. The staff were friendly and helpful when needed. We enjoyed our stay so much that we have booked it for 13 weeks next winter.Recommended for: Age 55+, tourists without a car, families with young children, families with teenagers.

We stayed for a week in early January. We found the property to be reasonably clean (except the cookware which was worn out and had to be washed and scrubbed before use). We arrived late to find no toilet paper in the place (we were glad we had brought some). The refrigerator had been left set to the warmest setting which we didn't notice until the next day when the food seemed warm. The dishwasher would not work, however we made a quick call to the property manager and he was able to tell us how to fix it over the phone. Some of the towels were unraveling and needed replacing. The location is quite good. Easy access up and down the beach road and to the mainland. Parking was never an issue. Proximity to the grocery store is excellent. The small stackable washer and dryer are almost new and worked quite well for small loads. Beds were comfortable. The front screen door was coming off and needed repairs. We had a good vacation. None of the issues with the condo were serious but we have rented quite a few properties through VRBO and have found better elsewhere.Recommended for: Sightseeing, families with young children.
Owner response: After reviewing this renters constructive response here are a few follow ups: Toilet paper, soap, paper towels and consumable items are not provided as this is a condo rental and not a hotel. I'll include this in our description from now on so everyone knows. The refrigerator and A/C gets turned down when the unit is unoccupied to save energy. I was not aware of the screen door or cookware and am addressing those issues. We always encourage our renters to let us know of any concerns they may have.

Even if the weather was bad 4 days of 7 we enjoyed the stay. Close to many good beaches.Close to grocerystore, restaurants and the beach. The pool area is just around the corner of the apartment. The only thing to complain about is that it`s not able to pay the stay with credit card. Paying with bank transfer is expensive though we are not U.S Citizen. Think we have to pay a fee when we receive the deposit as well.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 2/2

We had an awesome week in Madeira Beach. The condo was exactly what we were looking for...nicely updated, well equipped, very family friendly! As a family with two young boys, it was the perfect spot for our vacation. We all enjoyed our stay, whether relaxing on the beach or by the pool, searching for shells, fishing or watching the dolphins at John's Pass. The Madeira Beach Yacht Club is very well cared for and the condo was clean, with fresh towels, bedding and even equipped with some beach toys, chairs and umbrellas!!

Everything was just as the description, photos and info said.When something did go wrong , it was taken care of immediately, without hesitation or questions. I highly recommend this place. My parents , who are 85 years old, travelled with me, and were really pleased. The area around MBYC , is great.I recommend Win Dixie, , where they are so helpful, the library across the street, where tgere is access to online service, books and newspapers and of course the beach, stretching for miles and miles. Shopping at Tyrone Mall, Target, Burlington Coats, and Elleton outlet is just there. Eating out you should taste Britt's pizza at Britt's Cafe' ,Sloppy Joe's (...the sunset is unbelievable), and The Lobster Pot. I can't wait to go back.Thankyou for being a rental in Florida.....Recommended for: Girls getaway, age 55+, tourists without a car, families with young children, people with disabilities.

I recently rented this condo for my husband's birthday. The location is great - I was searching for something on the beach but not too far away from home (we live approximately 45 minutes-1 hour from the condo). There are several restaurants and shops that are walking distance or just minutes away by car. In addition, my husband's friends and family were able to take him golfing and fishing only 20-25 minutes away in Clearwater. Very convenient! The condo itself was very clean, well decorated, and felt like "home". It's definitely ideal for a beach get-away...I highly recommend it!Recommended for: Romantic getaway, sightseeing, girls getaway, families with young children.

Most athletes who cheat at the Olympics at least have the good sense to do so in pursuit of victory. The smart ones also make a concerted effort to hide any wrongdoing.
Well, somebody needs to send the badminton community a few copies of "Cheating for Dummies". Four doubles teams have been sensationally thrown out of the Games after blatantly trying to lose their matches last night, in an apparent effort to manipulate the quarter-final draw.
Employing a level of dry understatement that would make even the London locals proud, the Badminton World Federation charged all eight players involved with "not using one's best efforts to win a match".

| Desktop is being "shielded" with aero glass... Hi there, I am not sure how to describe the problem I'm having... I have installed Win7Ultimate64 couple of days ago, yesterday I've installed Adobe CS5 Master Collection Trial (I don't know if that's relevant...). The problem? When I hit right-alt+a (to make Polish characters, it might work as ctrl-alt-A on US keyboards) - my desktop and all applications are getting shielded from me with something that looks like aero glass... Screen goes darker (looks the same "material" as my task-bar normally looks like), all applications are active (this "glass" is semitransparent, I can see effects of my keyboard actions, switching apps, typing in windows) but I can't "touch" them with mouse actions... I have to log-out and log back in to remove this effect - until next ctrl-alt-a .... What the hell can it be? Any help would be greatly appreciated... Wojtek |

Rain ultimately ruined our opportunity to prevail as a Drag Week winner. The Daily Driver class is the only one that determines its winner through an actual bracket race of the quickest 32 cars. With rain completely wiping out Friday's racing, and then curtailing the event's extension on Saturday after one round of Daily Driver eliminations (in which we won our race), Hot Rod officials called the remainder of Drag Week and awarded prizes in the class to the top-three qualifiers.

Here are two things that troubled me with the Mets box score from last night's 11-3 loss to the Braves.
First, of course, is the pitching lines, specifically the first two…Pat Misch and Lance Broadway didn't have good nights, did they?
Secondly, not so much from the box score, but still a troubling sight…When Daniel Murphy, who we all complain about not having enough power, is leading your team in home runs (with only 11, no less), something is seriously wrong.

Beckii is better known to her friends as Rebecca Flint. The 14-year-old has won an army of fans with her clips of dancing dressed as manga characters.
She is expected to top the Japanese charts this weekend after she released her debut album yesterday.
'It was always a dream for me. I'm so glad it's reality now!' she said on her blog yesterday. Animé characters typically have big eyes, big hair and slender limbs – and Beckii has captured the look.

China Wind Power Equipment and Parts Industry Report, 2011-2012
- Published: May 2012
- Region: China
Although Chinas general electricity generation has been increasing by more than 10% almost every year since 2000, the construction of power grids have been unable to satisfy the demand for power. The annual growth rate of Chinas investment in grid construction has often been single digit, and in some years it was only 2%. As a result, there have been frequent blackouts along Chinas coasts since 2002.
To make power grids safe and to improve the efficiency of power transmission, Beijing started paying great attention to the construction of a state grid since 2006. According to the countrys 11th "Five-Year Plan", RMB1,200bn would be invested in grid construction from 2006 through 2010, which means that the average yearly investment is more than RMB240bn, 90% more than in the 10th "Five-Year Plan" period.
One of the major problems for Chinas power industry is that the best resources for power generation are often in remote regions, far from most power consumers. Data show that more than two-thirds of the developable hydropower is in the mountainous Tibet and surrounding areas such as Sichuan and Yunnan provinces, while two-thirds of minable coal resources are in Shanxi, Shaanxi,

Back pain, headaches and aching legs are all common ailments which can become even more aggravated when you're pregnant or mum to a little baby. But many mums and mums-to-be are too scared to take anything to relieve the pain for fear of harming their baby.
But armed with the right information, you'll find there are options says Dr Debra Kennedy, Director of MotherSafe, a free NSW counselling service for NSW women and their healthcare providers who are concerned about exposure - such as medicines - during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Dr Kennedy says pregnant and breastfeeding women should not suffer pain unnecessarily. In fact, leaving pain untreated can actually do more harm than good.
"Inadequately managed persistent pain can result in depression and anxiety. These may impact on a woman's physical and psychological wellbeing and can potentially have an adverse effect on her pregnancy."
Dr Kennedy advises pregnant and breastfeeding women to talk to their health professionals about the risks of treating pain versus not treating it.
Paracetamol is the most widely used pain reliever in Australia, particularly by pregnant women. Although paracetamol readily crosses the placenta, at recommended doses it does not appear to increase the risk of birth defects or other adverse outcomes of pregnancy.
The risks: Taking more than the recommended dose of paracetamol may cause harm to the mother or baby's lives or kidneys.
Aspirin and other NSAIDs such as ibuprofen, are not expected to cause structural birth defects or malformations, or other adverse outcomes such as preterm delivery or low birth weight.
The risks: NSAIDs should not be used in the third trimester without specialist advice. They may harm the baby during this stage of pregnancy by closing one of their blood vessels too early, raising blood pressure in their lungs and delaying labour and birth. High doses of these medicines in the third trimester may also impair the function of the baby's kidneys. NSAIDs can also increase the risk of bleeding complications in the baby or mother.
Opioid pain relievers such as codeine have not been associated with an increase in birth defects or miscarriage.
The risks: The main concern is that persistent use may lead to dependence and tolerance in the mother, with resultant drug withdrawal effects in the newborn. Use of opioid pain relievers may also impair the baby's lung function.
"We recommend paracetamol to treat fever and pain during pregnancy," says Dr Kennedy. "Codeine or another opioid analgesic can be added to treat more severe pain.
"Inadvertent use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicines in the first trimester is not usually harmful but these medicines should not be used in the third trimester."
The best thing you can do is to talk to your doctor before taking any medications or drugs while pregnant or breastfeeding.
Here's a list of contact numbers you can call to get more information on the safety of medications and other exposures during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Category: Erotica/Erotic Romance/Romance Description: Just back from school abroad and on a dean's list for her prudent behavior, Zoe Weiner moves in with her dad for the summer. With the super energy of an over-achiever, she's ready to run his mega-successful restaurant before completing her last year of college. But when exotic out-of-towner Jonte Barbera tempts her with erotic pleasures hitherto unknown, Zoe is seduced by his good looks and charm, and her suppressed wild streak emerges. She soon finds herself accepting Jonte's hedonistic offerings, burning the candle at both ends between exhaustive late-night work and extreme play. When Zoe's high school sweetheart Dane Clark returns to town, however, deeper emotions seize her, and the balance between excessive carnal pleasures and artful living becomes a true contest of character. Will Zoe learn the difference between lust and love, and choose the man who is right for her, before she loses everything, including herself? NOTE: Don't miss the sequel, Trouble Times Two!

Dane's warm hand ran up and down Zoe's torso until it strayed beneath her lacey thong and stopped to play in the tiny patch of silken hair she'd had the beautician leave at her recent waxing.
Kissing on and off, their mouths melded until Zoe thought her tongue might come off if she kept it up. She broke away with ecstatic groans. She responded to Dane's fingers in her pussy by spreading her legs open, making it easier for him to slide inside her moistened folds. She loosened her grip around his neck and slid down to a supine position.
"Mm, I can tell you like that," he said. "You're getting wet."
She nodded, mesmerized, her eyes mere slits as she relaxed deeper into the bliss produced by his hand.
"Here," he suggested, "let's get rid of this thing, pretty as it is."
Off came the lacey thong, tossed toward her dress.
Dane moved down closer to her and resumed petting the top part of her mound. He looked into her half-closed eyes, then down at her pussy.
"Everything about you is beautiful, especially that. What do you call it, by the way? What name should I give it?"
Zoe opened her eyes. No one had ever asked her that before.
"I don't know. What do you like calling it?"
"I don't want to offend you, that's why I asked."
Zoe shrugged. "I honestly don't know. Do you like pussy? Cunt?"
Yes, he liked both those words, she thought; she noticed him catch his breath and felt heat surge off his skin.
"I like your pussy, your cunt," he said in a thick voice.
He was sliding down when she said, "Dane, take off your slacks, why don't you?"
"All right."
He stood and undid his top button, then unzipped his fly. Zoe felt nervous, since the whole time they'd dated in high school, she'd never seen nor touched his penis. She swallowed in anticipation when he tossed his slacks over by her dress. Without hesitation, he pushed his boxer briefs down his muscled legs. Up shot his erection, bold and more beautiful than she could ever have imagined.
"Oh, Dane, I'm impressed with your, uh, majesty."
This stopped him in his tracks. He burst out laughing.
"My 'majesty'? Oh, that's great, Zoe! That's rich." He was still laughing when he came back down to his knees. "Is it any wonder I love you?"
They were in each other's arms then, rolling and kissing and grinding hips. A moment later, Dane kissed his way down her belly to her pussy, where he held her legs apart. He reached a finger into her slick hole until she was pumping on it, almost out of control. He inserted two fingers and mumbled how he loved her pussy as he flicked his tongue tip against the nub of her clit. He eased away his fingers and licked up and down along her folds, stopping only to suckle the flesh between his lips. The more he suckled, the closer he brought Zoe to orgasm.
He stopped, "What, Zoe? What do you want me to do? Tell me."
"That," she moaned, "your finger--and lick me, too. Lick me and suck me, don't stop..."
He complied with a fervor that made her hips rotate with wild abandon, until the electricity sparked and ignited in her clit.
"Yes, yes!"
As her first orgasm set off another and another, she ran her hands along her breasts and belly. Dane held apart her thighs and kept his mouth buried between her pussy-lips, kissing and suckling until the multiple waves of joy reached their pinnacle and abated.
"Oh, she groaned, "Dane, that was incredible. You're amazing. I love you!"
He looked up at her, his chin resting against her mound.
"You just love me for my tongue."
"That, too," she joked.
She felt him move up the length of her body until he was on top, his strong, firm form dominating her. He kissed her tenderly on the lips, then her neck.
"Zoe," he whispered, "I want to be inside you."
"I want that, too."

The film 'Liz & Dick' follows the complex love affair between Elizabeth Taylor (Lindsay Lohan) and Richard Burton (Grant Bowler). Their tempestuous love affair officially began on the set of 'Cleopatra,' the main setting of Lifetime Movie 'Liz & Dick.'

Prior to beginning their love affair Richard Burton did not have a flattering view of Elizabeth Taylor. In fact he stated publicly, "All this stuff about her being the most beautiful woman in the world is absolute nonsense. She's a pretty girl, of course, and she has wonderful eyes. But she has a double chin and an overdeveloped chest and she's rather short in the leg."
Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton were both married to other people when they began filming 'Cleopatra.' Liz was married to Eddie Fisher and Richard Burton was married to Sybil Burton.
In her autobiography Elizabeth Taylor stated, "I knew what I was doing, loving Richard, was wrong. But I couldn't help loving Richard. I don't think that was without honor. I don't think that was dishonest. It was a fact I could not evade."
Lifetime TV's 'An Officer and a Murderer'
After Elizabeth and Richard had consummated their love, Richard walked into the makeup trailer and exclaimed, "Gentlemen, last night, I screwed Miss. Elizabeth Taylor in the backseat of my Cadillac." It was not out of the ordinary for Richard Burton to have sex with his leading ladies in almost every movie.
After their love affair became well known to all of the cast and crew on the set of 'Cleopatra' it became very difficult to hide it from the press.
After their love affair became public and Eddie Fisher found out about it, Elizabeth Taylor had an episode in her hotel room in which she took some sleeping pills. A maid found Elizabeth Taylor after she had taken the pills and screamed, "Miss Taylor has taken too many pills… I can't wake her."
An ambulance was called and Elizabeth Taylor had to have her stomach pumped. She survived the episode, although some reports are that she may have swallowed up to thirty pills.
Many of the people in Rome (where 'Cleopatra' was filming) wanted to give Elizabeth Taylor a piece of their mind. As Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton dined out on the town one night, people began to call her, "Homewrecker, Whore and Unfit Mother."
Liz & Dick later wed in 1964 and stayed together for ten years. They divorced and then got remarried in 1975, a marriage that ended one year later. Liz Taylor had a total of seven different husbands.
The love affair between Liz & Dick lasted a life time even though it was off and on. The last letter Richard Burton wrote, hours before his death, was to Liz. That letter stayed next to Liz's bed for the rest of her life. The love letter was buried with Liz Taylor and only tidbits of the letter were revealed by her, but most of the contents are unknown. The Liz & Dick Lifetime Movie is a "no-holds barred account of their undying, but impossible love."

Schneier on SecurityA blog covering security and security technology. « Smuggling Beer into Stadiums | Main | Mobile Phones Disabled When President Bush Visits Sydney » May 16, 2007 Teaching Computers How to ForgetI've written about the death of ephemeral conversation, the rise of wholesale surveillance, and the electronic audit trail that now follows us through life. Viktor Mayer-Schönberger, a professor in Harvard's JFK School of Government, has noticed this too, and believes that computers need to forget. Why would we want our machines to "forget"? Mayer-Schönberger suggests that we are creating a Benthamist panopticon by archiving so many bits of knowledge for so long. The accumulated weight of stored Google searches, thousands of family photographs, millions of books, credit bureau information, air travel reservations, massive government databases, archived e-mail, etc., can actually be a detriment to speech and action, he argues. Frank Pasquale also comments on the legal implications implicit in this issue. And Paul Ohm wrote a note titled "The Fourth Amendment Right to Delete": For years the police have entered homes and offices, hauled away filing cabinets full of records, and searched them back at the police station for evidence. In Fourth Amendment terms, these actions are entry, seizure, and search, respectively, and usually require the police to obtain a warrant. Modern-day police can avoid some of these messy steps with the help of technology: They have tools that duplicate stored records and collect evidence of behavior, all from a distance and without the need for physical entry. These tools generate huge amounts of data that may be searched immediately or stored indefinitely for later analysis. Meanwhile, it is unclear whether the Fourth Amendment's restrictions apply to these technologies: Are the acts of duplication and collection themselves seizure? Before the data are analyzed, has a search occurred? EDITED TO ADD (6/14): Interesting presentation earlier this year by Dr. Radia Perlman that represents some work toward this problem. And a counterpoint. Posted on May 16, 2007 at 6:19 AM • 33 Comments To receive these entries once a month by e-mail, sign up for the Crypto-Gram Newsletter. CommentsPersonal data should belong to the individual that it's about, not to whatever organisation has compiled it. People want to be able to store everything about themselves, but it should be theirs to determine what parts of it get shared with who. This is one reason OpenId is good, it lets the user take complete control of authentication, and share that appropriately. Dwango • May 16, 2007 7:15 AM If copyright law can stipulate that I may not copy information even though doing so does not actually deprive the copyright owner of anything tangible (i.e., even though it's not theft), then certainly, copying or acquisition of data by the police should be treated as a seizure as well: either copying is a significant act, or it is not. That being said, I'm not convinced that this is *always* a good idea. In the example of cameras, for example, would the author also say that "traditional" photos taken on film should be required to self-destruct after a year or two? Of course not. I can understand and agree that when someone uploads digital photos to a service such as Flickr, they should get an expiry date unless the user says otherwise, but the camera itself should not enforce this. Toby Stevens • May 16, 2007 7:18 AM "If whatever we do can be held against us years later... the lack of forgetting may prompt us to speak less freely and openly." This is possibly the most persuasive argument I've yet heard against that old lie "if you have nothing to hide, then you have nothing to fear". After all, who wants to end up as a politician? wiredog • May 16, 2007 7:45 AM A counterpoint from the Washington Post: clive Robinson • May 16, 2007 7:47 AM Once upon a time the law required you to keep certain information for atleast seven years. Why must we keep anything longer than the law requires? The answer these days appears to be, "because we can" Am I the only person who finds this a strange reason for doing something that entails a great deal of expense? Victor Wagner • May 16, 2007 7:55 AM This idea have one huge implication - future historicans and archeologists would be unable to tell anything about our times. It would lead to some Orwellian society where history can be easily rewritten according current political needs. Nobody would be able to disapprove some mass-media or goverment inspired legends about past, because every bit of evidence would be expired and forgotten. merkelcellcancer • May 16, 2007 8:05 AM I am hoping, like in AI (the movie), that when we are a cold and frozen world that some future explores will discover all this data and wonder what all the fuss was about. Secure • May 16, 2007 8:36 AM Wouldn't this require a system much more invasive than TCPA? It must even forbid to load backups from a burned DVD after expiration... Some Guy • May 16, 2007 8:43 AM Can we get this to work for wives as well? My point is, old actions and remarks can already be held against you for quite a long time. I could see the same arguments being used against writing or the printing press. Perhaps all we need is a way to drop off the record when we're doing something unflattering. Joshua • May 16, 2007 10:08 AM So, basically, what we need to do is replace computers with artificial intelligences based on Alberto Gonzales? I agree in principle with this when applied to the massive data brokers, but cameras? Don't be ridiculous. Eli • May 16, 2007 10:22 AM "Personal data should belong to the individual that it's about, not to whatever organisation has compiled it." At what point do we wind up talking about the ownership of facts? If Alice can't tell Bob anything about Charlie, even though it's true, are we really better off? Andy Masters • May 16, 2007 10:31 AM An interesting way of doing this would be to encrypt each file with it's own key. The computer would keep a hold of the key but as time passes, parts of the key could be deliberately dropped/forgotten. paul • May 16, 2007 10:41 AM It's not just the data, it's the search technology. When everything that was nominally in the public record took days, weeks or even years to track down, people mostly didn't have to worry about it getting bruited about. Now you can find every stupid thing I said in 1993 at the touch of a few buttons. (And plenty of people, even back then, stopped participating in public online discussions out of concern for immediate or future consequences.) On the other hand, it would be sad to lose all of this stuff entirely. Maybe the digital world should be rethought to be subject to the same kinds of random deletions and obscurations as the physical one. It might be nice for the historians if data started going away after a few years and then came back 30 or 50 or 100 years later, when it could be useful without damaging individuals too badly. (Of course, nothing would be able to read it then, but that's another problem.) I wonder if some of the distributed crypto schemes where you need m out of n keys to recover a piece of data could be adapted for something like this, perhaps in an archive where the "keys" simply wouldn't be available until certain dates. Herman • May 16, 2007 11:09 AM ??Off-topic??? (Not so sure) http://news.search.yahoo.com/search/news/?... Baby Issued Firearm Owner's ID Card Chicago, Absurdistan: Bubba Ludwig can't walk, talk or open the refrigerator door -- but he has his very own Illinois gun permit. The 10-month-old, whose given name is Howard David Ludwig, was issued a firearm owner's identification card after his father, Howard Ludwig, paid the US$5 fee and filled out the application, not expecting to actually receive one. Benny • May 16, 2007 11:24 AM @ Andy I don't think that proposal will work, because as technology advances, it becomes easier to recover previously encrypted data without the key. Craig Hughes • May 16, 2007 11:25 AM Wouldn't the same law mean that your iPod had to "forget" your music after some time period, forcing you to buy it all over again? And if you can have a "Do not forget this" setting on your iPod where the user can over-ride forgetfulness in favor of usefulness, then why would every database out there not have an EULA on it where the user waived forgetfulness in favor of usefulness? Retaining data is undeniably useful, even if some of the side effects are potentially dangerous. Even when the dangers are explained, the benefits on balance will likely almost always outweigh the dangers (especially ante-facto), so people will get used to clicking the "do not forget" button and do it all the time. MikeA • May 16, 2007 11:29 AM @Victor Wagner This is already starting to happen. Try reading a Pagemaker 3 file some time, or older PDF, Word, etc. You not only need the exact application that created it, you need the OS it ran on, the hardware the OS ran on, etc. And you need the _actual_ stuff, because the specs are false, when they aren't just missing. Between undocumented formats, DRM, and the Disney "perpetual copyright", the period from 1921 to whenever we come to our senses is going to be a black hole for future historians. Canticle • May 16, 2007 11:46 AM This isn't a new problem nor is it a technology problem... I don't even think its a security problem. shimmershade • May 16, 2007 11:57 AM Congress and state legislatures have treated classes of personal data differently, thus we have laws specific to medical data, tax return data, banking data, debt collection data, and so on. The use of data-forgetting technology could be required by law in those areas where potential for harm is greatest. Pass A BroadLaw!™ • May 16, 2007 11:58 AM "...Mayer-Schönberger proposes a combination of law..." Well, if it has to do with technology and privacy, then legislation MUST be the only answer, right?! Somebody proposes a law? Well then I'm all for it! Let's get behind it! Brian Carnell • May 16, 2007 1:21 PM "Even data created by users--digital pictures, for example--would be tagged by the cameras that create them to expire in a year or two; pictures that people want to keep could simply be given a date 10,000 years in the future." LOL...I can just imagine all of the wonderful tech support calls camera makers would get 24 months after this sort of requirement went into effect. This is an absurd solution to a very real problem (and to some extent, this is where someone like David Brin is right in that we'll just have to get used to this to a very large extent given how futile existing technological efforts to prevent the maintaining of unauthorized data have been). panopticon • May 16, 2007 4:31 PM I heard an interesting presentation earlier this year by Dr. Radia Perlman that represents some work toward this 'problem'. Kee Hinckley • May 16, 2007 6:17 PM The problem of persistence-of-conversation has been with us from the early days of Usenet, but most people have ignored it. What we have now is basically privacy by obscurity, and the obscurity is rapidly going away. Unfortunately or not, the solution is not to make computers forget. There will always be someone who hangs on to the data. And of course the data trails can be as damning (usually more-so :-^ ) than the data itself. The solution is not technical, it's social. As speakers, we need to relearn how to apologize. As listeners, we need to accept that people say dumb things, that context is not always there, and that most of all, it's okay for people to change their minds. (One of the the things I find particularly frightening about today's political discourse is the number of politicians who are unwilling to change their minds in the face of changed facts. That's not just a personal trait, it's a political one, because a large number of voters seem to view change as weakness.) I think largely because my name is a unique identifier, I've never believed that anything I've posted online (and I've been doing so for twenty-five years) was either anonymous or transient. Yes, it makes me think more carefully about what I write--but that's not a bad thing. More importantly, it has ensured that I'm prepared to promptly issue public retractions when I say something stupid--which has certainly happened on occasion. I think our energy would be better spent on encouraging people to take responsibility for what they do say (and have said) than on making computers forget it. Slowly but surely we are working on this problem, we create patches for common unix-level tools that enables you to not log by default: Jay Carlson • May 16, 2007 9:45 PM This is actually a collision of two different technologies. USENET was published on many CD volumes for a while; that was a little troublesome back then. Now that we all live on Gibson's West Coast from Count Zero: ==== MySpace indeed. The classic SF extension of this is perfect remote viewing some distance into the past. The mess only happens when combined with search that doesn't suck, which is relatively novel. This allows for *industrialization*, and we all know the standard crypto narrative of what that did. The next couple election cycles in the US are going to be the preview of, well, unrestricted warfare in this domain. If there will be any kind of regulation, it will be similar to that passed to protect video rental records after politicians were embarrassed. Bob W. • May 17, 2007 12:32 PM @Clive Robinson: Going through stored records and purging those no longer required by law is also a significant expense. I've known some consultants who specialized in this area, developing expertise in classes and types of records and the relevant statutes mandating sometimes quite different retention times. In the old way of doing business, an individual could go through the boxes of records that businesses kept more or less classified by area of application (hand-written ledgers vs. invoices vs. sales orders vs. payment records, etc.) verifying that the contents of the boxes matched the labels, and making retention decisions based on (mostly) tax-related retention mandates. With increasing amounts of information being stored in digital formats and subject to increasing numbers of government mandates for storage, the task of selecting what to purge and what to retain has probably grown beyond levels individual consultants could handle with that manual approach. If nothing else, the fact that backup media are typically written with a mix of multiple record types and classes makes purging the most fundamental of storage media practically very difficult, if not impossible. There's an OASIS standardization group working on XML DTDs for business documents, and some government agencies are participating in the process to try to ensure that there's provision for appropriate taxation-related data objects being correctly tagged. Maybe some of the OASIS output will be useful in the area or record retention and purging, but I doubt that there's any digital record standardization activity in this particular area. Purging digital records without purpose-specific tags which can relate them to retention mandates is going to be an approximate process at best. The security trade-off may be between exposure to litigation due to failing to retain records as mandated and failing to expunge records as required to avoid exposure to civil suits. A simple sunsetting of records based on an arbitrary decision by individual operators is likely to cause exposure to both. False Data • May 17, 2007 1:56 PM Data retention's impact on free speech is a real concern, but I wonder if implementing Professor Mayer-Schönberger's solution might be more complicated than he gives it credit for being. For example, he writes "Even data created by users--digital pictures, for example--would be tagged by the cameras that create them to expire in a year or two; pictures that people want to keep could simply be given a date 10,000 years in the future." He also writes about keychain devices you could wear that could tell surveillance cameras to expire pictures of you in the near term. So, what happens if I use my personal digital camera, take a picture of you, you're wearing a keychain device, and I set the expiration to 10,000 years then post the picture on the web? Lots of cell phone cameras, some photo blogs, and decent image search technology can do what surveillance cameras do, so whose rights win out--yours or mine? It gets a bit worse. Suppose we say you win because it promotes the policy of communication via forgetfulness, which we decide is more valuable than my property right in the picture. How do you enforce that right if I decide to break the deletion protection? Do you sue me directly? If you have to resort to doing that, after marching in, say, an anti-war demonstration, you could quickly find yourself overwhelmed trying to enforce your rights against every image of you that all those camera wielding people have taken. Do we criminalize holding the data too long? Do we use a DMCA-style approach where you can make a demand on the ISP to remove the picture? Or do we use a technological fix, where we require the camera to encrypt any picture of me using my private key and a unique session key (which might make stadium shots from the Goodyear Blimp an interesting computational problem)? Stephan Engberg • May 18, 2007 1:08 AM Revokability of data The article is on the spot, but obviously not helping in suggesting how to achieve this. Data as such have eternal life and gravity - they pull together because of asymmetry of interests and risk assessments. Data do not get deleted as the cost of storage is close to zero and the risk of deleting something you MIGHT need is bigger than this cost. And data gets used because they can be used - existence creates possibility and possibility creates purpose.
Intuitive thinking seems to point towards DRM -encrypting data itself. I think this is a blind alley that will never lead to solutions but only to "un"trusted computing where controls are elsewhere than with the citizen. Instead we need to focus on Revocability of the associated identity and all relevant keys and identifiers. Data themselves are perhaps permanent, but the associated risk to the person is controllable and can be changed AFTER data have been disclosed. This require identity to be purpose-specific and in principled created bottom-up for every purpose. The wrong way to make this happen is the "trusted" gatekeeper - MS Passport Style as this build power and control over people. But often we also need accountability and emergency to work even if citizens have revokability and control. This is the essense of what I call National Id 2.0 - where identity turns into something securing citizens by empowering them with means to control their Identities instead of only building controls over people with single id and upfront identification. Simone De Bouvier • May 18, 2007 2:44 AM Data volume in itself has advantages that would be negated by the addition of expiry or retension date. mike • May 20, 2007 6:09 PM on photos of people; i have always thought that photos of you should be your property. this would happily eliminate papparazi :) it does cause a problem when photographing multiple people but the answer is simple; if someone doesn't want to be in the photo then the entire photo is scrapped. tough, but fair, i believe. after all, if YOU were holding a photo of yourself, and someone stole it, you could request it back. what's the practical difference between that and someone taking the shot themselves? none. I think the complete deletion of data is a huge problem these days. With some many thief's out to scour every little piece of info away from you, a solution to having your computer forget is required. I am also not liking how liberal other companies are about collecting data on me. Like google collecting my search history, and god knows what else. Google is going to have access to your email soon.

6 Hated Stocks to Stay Away From
As of the most recently reported quarter, Sprint was one of Greenlight Capital's holdings.
Bank of America
There continues to be a great deal of unease around large banks in general and Bank of America (BAC) in particular: 255 million shares of this stock are held in short accounts. On a macro level, there are continuing concerns that the European economic crisis will eventually spiral out of control, which would wreak havoc on the global banking system.
>>5 Financial Stocks Ready for Bigger Dividends
BofA and other large U.S. banks have noted that they don't have a tremendous amount of direct exposure to Europe, thanks to hedges, but memories of Lehman Bros. and Bear Stearns and of how they suffered in a period of chaos remain fresh for many investors -- especially short-sellers. BofA is also being targeted because it's "the worst house in a bad neighborhood." This bank made so many bad moves in the past five years that investors are now convinced that the next blunder is right around the corner. Bank stocks are clearly inexpensive, as many of them -- including BofA -- trade for well below book value. But short-sellers think the tenuous global economy will push down shares before a more stabilized operating environment brings back the buyers. For another take on Bank of America, it also shows up on a list of 8 Post-Downgrade Bank Stock Bargains. Nokia It's awfully tempting to go long with beaten-down smartphone provider Nokia (NOK). Shares have fallen from $40 in 2007 to under $2, and many are paying attention to the company's ambitious turnaround strategy that hitches the company's fortunes to Microsoft's (MSFT) new mobile phone software. But signs of a turnaround should have begun by now, and it's increasingly clear that Nokia won't be able to crack the hegemony of the Apple (AAPL)/Google (GOOG) smartphone duopoly. Management continues to radically cut costs to preserve cash, which is in stark contrast to the aggressive forward-thinking moves that Apple, Google, Samsung and others are taking. Short-sellers, who now control 170 million shares, are guessing that Nokia's financial pressures deepen, and a few have begun to speak of a possible bankruptcy in a year or two. Chesapeake Energy Energy producer Chesapeake Energy (CHK) has amassed a very impressive set of assets, especially in the gas producing shale regions found across North America. Trouble is, the company borrowed way too much to buy up all that acreage, mistakenly assuming that robust cash flow from high gas prices would cover the debt.Select the service that is right for you!

Cameron: "I do agree that there's a consumer backlash and I actually think it's a good thing, because what they're lashing back against is some pretty crappy stuff." [Translation: 'Avatar' is the best and imitators can suck it. Except for Justin Bieber.]
Cameron: "But the thing that everybody has got to remember here is that all of the films that have come out after 'Avatar' were made before 'Avatar' came out. Or at least were mostly through their production cycle before 'Avatar' came out. So any lessons learned about how to do it, in terms of how to use the cameras, how to use the stereo spaces and so on, that might be learned by other live action film makers from 'Avatar'' we haven't seen those films yet. It takes a year to make a decent film." [Translation: But, since 'Avatar' took four and a half years to make, it is, by the transitive property, the best film ever.] Cameron: "They think that these movies just get whistled up out of nowhere. Avatar took four and half years to make and they've been working on 'Tron: Legacy' for a couple of years. They used our cameras for that so I'm hopeful. It looks great so far from what I've seen." [Translation: Even though James Cameron didn't make 'Tron,' the film will be good because 'Tron' uses things James Cameron invented.]
Cameron: "The funny thing about 'Avatar' is that [people were saying] you had to see it in 3-D... and so everybody kind of concluded from that that the movie was going to be a complete bust in the home video market, and it wasn't. It was one of the highest home video sellers of all time because, frankly, the story, the characters, and the emotions all worked even on the small screen." [Translation: James Cameron doesn't read the DVD reviews.]
Cameron: "[We're] doing 'Titanic' as a 3-D conversion, but instead of spending six weeks on it, we're spending a year on it and the right amount of money and the right amount of creative input to make sure that it's done properly." [Translation: We're spending somewhere around the GDP of Mali to do it.]
Cameron: "So it should look gorgeous." [Translation: I'm gonna make sooooo much money!]
