Bankers affected say it's no big deal
Jo David Cummins, president and CEO of Community First Bank of the Heartland in Illinois, laughs off
' mid-January "hack"
of a
U.S. Federal Reserve
database, which scooped up his record and over 4,000 others. He
, "It hasn't been much of a hassle. The information that was on the contact system was the same thing that was on my business card, so it wasn't like it was anything that could do any harm to me or the bank."
I. Adobe Flaw Likely Exploited by Hackers.
But while it may not be a big deal for most of the affected, the
U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation
and the Federal Reserve are taking the incident very seriously. Comments Federal Reserve spokesman Jim Strader, "We are in the process of a comprehensive assessment to determine what information might have been obtained in this incident. We remain confident that this incident did not affect critical operations of the Federal Reserve."
The site that the information leaked from was dubbed
Emergency Communication System
(ECS). While protected by passwords and encryption,
was able to circumvent those barriers.
It's possible that the attackers used an SQL injection (aka "
Little Bobby Tables
") style attack. Such attacks can be prevented if the requests were sanitized.
However, it's also possible that the hackers exploited well-known security flaws in Adobe Systems, Inc.'s (
) Cold Fusion suite, which the site was built upon. In mid-January -- right about the time of the attack -- Adobe patched several critical security flaws that could allow malicious users access to restricted files and even allow them to takeover servers.

In the
press release
for the patch, Adobe stated:
This hotfix addresses vulnerabilities that could permit an unauthorized user to remotely circumvent authentication controls, potentially allowing the attacker to take control of the affected server... Adobe is aware of reports that four vulnerabilities (CVE-2013-0625, CVE-2013-0629, CVE-2013-0631 and CVE-2013-0632, referenced in Security Advisory APSA13-01)
are being exploited in the wild against ColdFusion customers.
A 2012 audit at the Fed suggested that a monitoring system be put in place to review security at third-party systems. It's possible the ECS system may fall under that category.
The Federal Reserve System is the backbone of the American banking industry, established before the Great Depression. The oft-criticized institution is a strange mix of private and public parts.
On the public side, regional Fed banks are largely owned by nationally chartered commercial banks, which are required to be shareholders in their local branch. On the other hand, the federal government selects and controls the salary of many of the system's top officials; indeed the President himself personally appoints Fed's Board of Governors.
II. Hackers Still Flaming Mad About Swartz's Death
Many members of the quasi-leaderless hacktivist group
have been vocal opponents of the Fed and the U.S. commercial banking industry in general, which they label as corrupt and exploitive.
The recent attack is part of the group's
dramatically titled "OpLastResort"
. The operation is a manifestation of the explosion of anger over the death of online activist Aaron Swartz. Mr. Swartz, who designed the RSS, reportedly tragically committed suicide last month after fighting a long battle
with depression and government harassment
Federal prosecutors had investigated Mr. Swartz after he dumped 4 million papers from the JSTOR network. JSTOR hosts peer-reviewed journal papers, most of which cost money to access. Critics of Mr. Swartz's actions argue that journal fees help sustain the costly march of research in fields such as physics, biology, and genetics. But his supporters argue that academic research should be free to all, not pent up in some ivory cage.
Aaron Swartz
Even some of his critics, though, balked at how the feds allegedly harassed him for the breach.
A pair
of petitions
to fire the prosecutors involved with the criminal case -- Assistant U.S. Attorney Steve Heymann and his boss U.S. District Attorney Carmen Ortiz -- has been attracting substantial attention. The petition to remove DA Ortiz has already received 25,000 signatures, meaning that President Barack Obama must respond to it.
III. Sabu to be Sentenced
In a related reminder, former
mastermind Hector Xavier Monsegur (handles: "Sabu", "Xavier DeLeon", and "Leon") is set to be sentenced on Feb. 22. Mr. Monsegur had founded the sub-unit of
and in 2011
led it in hacking Sony
Corp. (TYO:6758)
and also
breaching government sites
Hacker "messiah" Hector Monsegur, a former member of
's upper echelon is set to be sentenced later this month. His sentence will likely be greatly reduced for his role in "snitching" on his fellow hackers. [Image Source: Fox News]
Unbeknownst to his cohorts, Mr. Monsegur was located by the FBI and offered a plea deal. The hacker accepted, and for the next few months continued to lead attacks, while
allegedly serving as a double agent
, feeding feds information that helped them
track down other top members
such as Topiary
, a 19-year-old who was
arrested in the UK's Shetland Islands
The hacker was given a sentencing reprieve due to concerns about his safety and his ongoing cooperation with federal investigations. He has plead guilty to 12 federal computer crimes, which carry a maximum theoretical sentence of 124-years. It is likely that his sentences will at a bare minimum be reduced to being served consecutively (which greatly slashes his prison time -- for example Bank Fraud, one of his charged offenses, carries a maximum 30 year sentence).

RE: Nitpick
History didn't start at 1913. The federal reserve was created in response to several severe depressions around the start of the 20th century.
If my memory serves me right it's actually the USA's second central bank, the first one being abolished after another depression hit a few years after it's creation (around 1876 i thought?) which is why it took untill well into the 20th century before bankers could try again.
So, wether or not there is a central bank really doesn't matter if bankers are still able to manipulate the supply of money (back then it was hoarding gold to cause deflation and a depression though it). Get rid of the fed, and the bankers will simply refuse to give out loans until there is a credit crunch.
Infact if the fed wasn't pumping $85 billion a month into the market that'd already caused a full blown depression a la 1930's. So, funnily enough, the fed is for once doing their job. It's just that the beliefs it was founded on will lead to an even more destructive path, just later.
Getting rid of the fed isn't enough. You first need to split banks into one bank that's not about getting more money, but keeping the money you have, and a investment bank that can gamble all it likes with it's clients money for as high as a return they like, but the taxpayer won't be responsible for when those fail. Then you need credible people in government that uphold that rule and don't change it no matter what happens.
It's the only way. The reason the US did well before the period before the civil war is because it was run by idealists, who thought their ideals outweighed all other things, material or otherwise. No matter what system you abolish or what system you put in it's place, good government is where it starts. not big, not small, good.

About Us
Mission Statement
Ms. JD seeks to support and improve the experiences of women law students and lawyers. Obstacles to equal participation hinder not only women in the law but also their colleagues, clients, children, and communities. Ms. JD consequently strives to give voice to why it matters that women continue to overcome barriers to achieve gender parity in the profession. In doing so, Ms. JD spreads the word: women's victories are everyone's victories.
Who is Ms. JD?
Ms. JD is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to the success of women in law school and the legal profession. Ms. JD is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors comprised of law students and recent graduates and an Executive Director. Founded at Stanford Law School in 2006 by a group of female law students from Boalt Hall (UC Berkeley), Cornell, Georgetown, Harvard, NYU, Stanford, UCLA, UT Austin, the University of Chicago, the University of Michigan, the University of Virginia, and Yale, Ms. JD is a 501(c)(3) incorporated in California.
Serving as a unique nexus between the profession and the pipeline of diverse attorneys, Ms. JD's online community provides a forum for dialogue and networking among women lawyers and law students. With campus chapters throughout the nation, Ms. JD is also home to the National Women Law Students' Organization. Ms. JD celebrates women's achievements, addresses remaining challenges, and facilitates continued progress by bringing legal practitioners and law students together to share in an ongoing conversation about gender issues in law school and the profession.
Why do we need Ms. JD?
In 1872 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that women had no constitutional right to be admitted to state bars, sanctioning the exclusion of women from the practice of law. Over a century later, the first woman Justice was appointed to the Supreme Court. Twenty-five years after this historic appointment, our highest Court has only three female Justices.
Although women have comprised nearly half of the student body in law school for more than two decades, women represent only 16% of equity partners at major law firms and less than 3% of those firms' top earning partners. The statistics for women attorneys of color are even more sobering. They comprise just 3% of non-equity partners and only 1.4% of equity partners. They have the highest rate of attrition, with 86% of women attorneys of color leaving their law firms before their seventh year.
Women are only a third of tenured law professors. Women constitute 22% of the federal judiciary and hold only 26% of state court judgeships. Currently only six governors are women, and over 60% of states have never elected a woman to the executive's office. As a nation, we have had only two female U.S. Attorneys General, three female Secretaries of State, and one female Solicitor General.
For the first time in more than 50 years the enrollment of women in law school is on the decline, and many law schools are struggling even to fill 40% of their incoming 1L classes with women. Female law students constitute only a third of law review editors-in-chief in the nation's top 50 schools, and women still constitute less than a third of Supreme Court clerks. As these numbers illustrate, women lawyers have come a long way, but there is still further work to be done.

Whether you are a college student preparing for your post college career or in between jobs, a part time job is a great way to enhance your resume. Part time jobs are necessary for those who are looking for experience or income in their life. Here are part time jobs that can benefit your bank account and you're your resume:
Bartending/Wait Staff: You may think that having a job in a bar is a bad thing because of the alcohol and party association but if written the correct way, this part time gig could really prove to your potential employer your commitment to a career. Bartending requires patience, multi-tasking, people skills and above all trust. A bar/restaurant trusts that you will handle cash appropriately and truthfully; mention these important key notes.
Related industry: Getting a part time job in your industry and field will show your future employer that you are serious about your potential career. Working part time hours will mostly have you working the same duties as the full time job and future employers know that. Don't forget to offer references from that position. Also keep in mind that those part time jobs are great way to earn your way to a full time job with the same company.
Administrative: Any office position in a company that involves you taking on responsibilities and communicating in an office environment will show to your future employer that you are comfortable and capable of doing so in their office. Be sure to list out any projects and awards you may have received and carried out.
Volunteering: Some part time jobs do not pay and some people choose to volunteer in their city as a part time job. This signifies to employers that you are a hard worker and that money is not your main concern. You are technically spending your free time to better and assist an organizationwithout payment.
Treat your part time job as a real job on your resume, give it the same attention as you would with a full time and paid position. List out your title, as well as the duties and tasks that you performed while there. Be sure to include references and talk openly about your experience at that job. Sometimes your part time job can land you a great full time job. Happy resume building and good luck in your job search!

iPhone 5C aims to replace iPhone 5, not iPhone 4S -- analyst
Apple's iPhone 5C might not be a "low end" product after all.
If the long-rumored device launches later this year, as expected, the iPhone 5C will actually be considered a midrange product and replace the iPhone 5, KGI Securities analyst and longtime Apple follower Ming-Chi Kuo wrote to investors on Monday, according to AppleInsider, which obtained a copy of the report. The iPhone 4S, which many believed would be killed off by the iPhone 5C, will live on, Kuo claims.
Apple's iPhone 5C has been rumored to be in the works for months. The device was … Read more

Ill. House Votes To Override Gov's Concealed Carry Changes
The Illinois House has rejected Gov. Pat Quinn's changes to legislation allowing the carrying of concealed guns on the deadline for action set by a federal court.
If the Senate approves it later today, Illinois would join the rest of the nation in allowing firearms to be carried in public.
The House voted 77-31 to override the Democratic governor's amendatory veto. Quinn had used his veto authority to suggest changes such as prohibiting guns in restaurants that serve alcohol and limiting gun-toting citizens to one firearm at a time.
Lawmakers sent Quinn a bill in May setting up a concealed carry system in response to a federal appeals court ruling which declared it unconstitutional for Illinois to ban the public possession of concealed weapons.

Man sentenced to life in slaying of Revere police officer
David L. Ryan/Globe Staff
Robert Iacoviello Jr. was sentenced today to life in prison for the murder of off-duty Revere police Officer Daniel Talbot, who was shot to death after a chance encounter led to an exchange of words and gunfire between a group of alleged gang members and drunken police officers in 2007.
Suffolk Superior Court Judge Patrick Brady imposed the mandatory sentence of life in prison with the possibility of parole after 15 years on Iacoviello after hearing tearful expressions of anger and sorrow from Talbot's fiancee, Constance Bethell, and his relatives.
Talbot's mother, Patty, looked directly at Iacoviello as she delivered her victim impact statement in court today.
"Because of your actions, I don't have my son any more,'' she said in a hard, clear voice. "Gangs and guns don't belong in America.''
Patty Talbot said she was with her son when he died at a Boston hospital. "I held his hand, kissed him, and told him I loved him,'' she said.
Bethell, who was with her fiancee at the high school when he was shot, said she is wracked by guilt for not having prevented Talbot from going to the high school.
Bethell said she cannot forget what she saw on the morning of Sept. 29, 2007, including the sight of Talbot "dying before my eyes and I could do nothing to save him.''
Iacoviello was convicted of second-degree murder. His co-defendant, James Heang, was convicted of being an accessory after the fact for helping to dismantle the handgun used to shoot Talbot. He was sentenced to serve up to six years in state prison.
Talbot and fellow Revere officers William Soto and Evan Franklin participated in firearms training and then spent the rest of the night and early morning drinking at restaurants before continuing to party on bleachers behind Revere High School.
Around 1 a.m., Derek Lodie, an alleged gang member, walked near the bleachers, leading Talbot to launch a taunting tirade that included language likely to incite gang members, witnesses testified. Talbot was a member of the department's gang unit.
Lodie, who admitted his role and is serving an 8- to 12-year sentence, summoned Iacoviello, who was convicted of shooting Talbot.
The two men were convicted Tuesday following two days of deliberations by a jury whose forewoman told the Globe the panel was shocked by the officers' behavior.
Iacoviello's defense attorney, Peter Krupp, read a somewhat defiant letter in court written by his client's parents, Robert and Michelle Iacoviello.
"We feel in our hearts that the jury got it wrong. We know that the son we raised could not have done such a horrific thing to another human being,'' they said in the letter. "No matter what, we will be by his side every step of the way.''
The convictions will be appealed, attorneys said.
Paul Talbot, the slain officer's brother, also gave a victim impact statement. He said the convictions have eased some of the anger and pain he has felt since his brother's slaying. And he ended by urging everyone in the courtroom to remember his brother.
"Never forget Officer Daniel Talbot, Badge Number 163, and in the words of his nephew, one of the good guys,'' he said.
Talbot's name has been added to the the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Washington, DC.

Promotional Car Organizers - Custom Auto Products
As time continues to pass, driving has become more dangerous because of all of the distractions drivers have to deal with every time they get in their cars, which by modern standards means many times. Promotional car organizers give drivers the equipment they need to keep the road ahead of them their primary focus. Many of these custom auto products serve as luxuries, ways to endorse highway safety while allowing drivers to easily handle other tasks such as replacing CDs in order to maintain heading if they feel confident enough behind the wheel to do two things at once. Any more than that generally constitutes a danger while on the road because of the need for watching other motorists as well. These promotional items will allow your company to lend such helping hands while your clients and colleagues spend travel time in their automobiles, whether for personal or professional pursuits.

Castles, cakes and Prince Charles' top cheese in Carmarthenshire
Travellers to Wales have become lazy in descriptions of their holidays. Often, 'we were in Wales' suffices, as though they can condense this versatile country into just one phrase.
Carmarthenshire, 'The Garden of Wales', proves the flippancy of this sort of account. The county, which sits in between Powys and Pembrokeshire, is home to some of the country's most pristine and longest beaches; the popular seven mile stretch of Pendine Sands was once used as the practice spot for the World War II D-Day landings.
And Arthurian legend suggests the wizard Merlin was born in a cave close to the city of Carmarthen. (Caerfyrddin, its Welsh name, means Merlin's Fort).
Fields of plenty: Carmarthenshire has an exciting culinary scene
Some of the United Kingdom's most ancient castles are found here, too, (Carrag Cennen Castle's vaulted underground cavern dates back to the prehistoric age), while the county also offers a magnificent section of the new 870 mile Wales Coastal Path.
And the food! From farm shops and markets to gastropubs and gourmet restaurants, when you dine in this verdant corner of Wales, you know the tangy cheeses are from local cows and the fish hasn't leaped far to reach your plate. Here's my pick of Carmarthenshire's culinary highlights:
Speciality: The Royal Connection
The Prince of Wales has certainly made his presence felt throughout recent visits to Carmarthenshire. The 25 year-old family-run Caws Cenarth cheese (www.cawscenarth.co.uk) benefited from the Royal, for he has often named former dairy farmers Gwynfor and Thelma Adams' his favourite cheese.
He isn't alone of course, the washed-rind, pungent and nutty semi-soft Golden Cenarth Cheese, their most popular product, has been acknowledged by the British Cheese Awards.
Dairy delight: Award-winning Caws Cenarth cheese is Prince Charles' favourite
But that isn't the end of the
Prince's influence. The Royal was so taken with baker Etta Richardson's
cakes during a visit to Llansteffan, that his aides called back to order
a box-full of the same cake for Christmas. But it was a year, or so,
later when Etta's fruit cake was to make another, even more important,
appearance among the Royal Family. Etta's Royal Cake, as it is now
known, was the one enjoyed by the Duchess of Cornwall and Prince Charles
on their wedding day.

Where to Eat
Affordable far: Wright's is an independent food store and cafe
Budget: Recently-opened, Wright's Food Emporium is just as magical as it sounds. An independent food store, it stocks an array of organic and fresh Welsh produce and the adjacent café serves everything from tea and toast (£3) to Wright's meat plate (marinated roast beef, gammon ham, rillettes (£9.50).
Details: www.wrightsfood.co.uk; 01267 290678
Mid-range: Ludo Ludovic Dieumegard, a semi-finalist on BBC's Masterchef: The Professionals, is the conjurer in the kitchen at Ludo's at The Coopers, a cosy gastropub-like restaurant which sits at the back of The Coopers Inn. Nestled in the quiet market town of Newcastle Emlyn, the food is unapologetically Welsh with an expert dash of French flair – Ludo is from Brittany. A three-course meal without alcohol will set you back a decent £20.
Details: Call 01239 710588
Splash-Out: Y Polyn has certainly won over the critics. Owners Sue and Mark Manson (Sue's in the kitchen, Mark's front of house) run an unfussy restaurant with food as the main star. The dishes served include Warm Lentil, Pomegranate, Walnut and Pantysgawn Goats Cheese Salad, Carbonnade of Welsh Black Beef and Otleys Ale, Y Polyn Honey and Almond Ice Cream. This vivacious country restaurant's mantra is: 'Fat equals flavour. Live with it.'
Details: www.ypolynrestaurant.co.uk; 01267 290000
Shop 'til you drop: Carmarthen Market is ideal for picking up some local specialities
Rising Star: Food Trails
There's a lot to see, do and eat in Carmarthenshire. But Discover Carmarthenshire has made getting around a lot simpler with 'Food Trails', a helpful directory to help guide you through the various agricultural produce, boutique country restaurants, breweries, local markets, farm shops, cheese makers and ham curer, among other culinary delights.
Divided into North, West and East, mapped trails and video content aid navigation. The 'East' trail, for example, takes visitors towards Llandeilo and its popular ice cream parlour Heavenly, then onto Llanelli, home to the long-standing food market (famous for its seafood) and lamb-lovers' favourite, the restaurant Sosban.
Over on the West, make your way past Taste of the Valleys, the Carmarthen Market stall now famous for its squirrel meat and, towards Laugharne, where you'll come across the recently re-opened Brown's Hotel, once upon a time Dylan Thomas's favourite watering hole.

Atlantis was my choice despite there was no room availability on one day and had to book a higher priced option for that day. Though initially they asked me to stay in the same lower priced room, they finally let me stay in the higher priced option for entire duration. ThanQ Atlantis. That being said Atlantis is a great option to stay. Superb location on Palm Islands, Aquaventure, Lost Chambers and my personal fav Ambassador Lagoon were all excellent and included with your stay. Dolphin Bay associated with the resort was expensive but a different experience all together. Beaches n pools were all neat n clean. But what I liked most was the themed concept of the hotel's interior design and ambassador lagoon. I would also like to thank the Hotels.com operator in the Ireland who patiently helped me book the Hotel and suggested various options one of which was very helpful."
Stayed here for 2 nights. The room was extremely nice and comfortable. Great layout, and the staff was very helpful in helping with everything we needed. Everything was above and beyond what I had expected."
The staff at this hotel can only be described in superlatives. The room is fantastic and we were upgraded only because it was 3 AM in the morning and i said that we have been travelling for 17 hours (true). The only problem to consider, if at all, is the location of the property. the property is approximately 40 AED (Dirhams) from the nearest large size mall. and almost everything else. So, if you are doing a lot of city or in town meetings or shopping, then it starts to become a hassle and that too an expensive one. That aside, i rate my experience very high."
my girlfriend wanted to stay here but i said it was too expensive and not worth it but i had to apologise. The staff are just amazing. Helpful courteous and speak great English. Free kayaking and camel rides and free dvd rentals delivered to the room made the price seem more reasonable. Great pool with slides. Lovely private beach. Beautiful room. Massive tv. Luxurious bathroom. Only stayed here for 1 night as that is all we could afford and we didn't have breakfast because breakfast for 2 cost more than 1 night in a different 5star hotel we stayed in. Lots of tourists visit it as an attraction and its nice to have the experience of luxury as a guest and worth it for 1 night anyway. There is lots more amazing things here especially lots of little things in the room but too many to mention. Overall, wonderful experience"
Excellent hotel overall. Very pleased with our stay. The only criticism would be that there appeared to be some confusion at reception I.e. We had late check out but when we returned to our room we could not get in as our key was void. Also there was some confusion as to what we were entitled to with club rates. But other than that we had a great stay in a great hotel. Many thanks."
Overall, my hotel stay was very nice. Only negative point was that the main road access to the hotel was under construction and there were no direction signs to the hotel, and I was forced to pass it twice as the entrance was blocked."
This is a beautiful hotel all be it off the beaten path.Enough cannot be said about the staff who went out of their way to answer every need possible.This is not a 5 Star but a very good 4 star"
Being a frequent traveller for work, I have countless hotel nights under the belt. This being my first experience with Kempinski, I was looking for a couple of quiet days on the beach to celebrate my birthday. I was simply overwhelmed by the experience. The welcoming and relaxing check-in, seated in comfortable chairs, the head-chef's handling our birthday dinner wishes and the personal interest, without being obtrusive, shown by the hotel staff in making this a good experience! Would go back any time! The staff is great, the location great and rooms are great!"
The shower did not have hot water. The breakfast was excellent and the people were nice and friendly."
We stayed in a villa (by one of the internal pools). Room was comfortable and clean. Staff are well trained and very friendly. Food was excellent in the main buffet restaurant and at the Thai restaurant. Gym had very good cardio equipment but hardly any weights. Service at the beach in relation to towels could be improved - attendant did not want to exchange our towels one day because apparently there is a "one towel per day" policy - and that's simply unacceptable for a 5 star hotel. The spa and its facilities are a bit old and outdated (not 5 star level) but the staff there are fantastic - Rizza is a great masseuse!"
Very comfortable hotel and centrally located to RAK. Has the best breakfast of the RAK hotels that I have stayed at. Unfortunately, because of the way the surrounding roads/traffic flow is set up it can take a bit of time and patience to access the hotel."
The hotel crew are rude the don't know nothing about hospitality spicily the resption crew"

Watch Hart of Dixie
She fails to get the cardiothoracic fellowship she was aiming for and is forced to take a job offer at a small medical practice in the tiny Southern town of Bluebell, Alabama. When she arrives in Bluebell, she learns that the man who gave her the job offer, Dr. Harley Wilkes, has died. Not only that, but she also discovers to her astonishment that Dr. Wilkes was her biological father and he has left her his share of the Bluebell medical practice in his will.
Zoe decides to stay in Bluebell and work at the practice, so that she can learn more about this biological father she never knew she had. The cast for this show is terrific. Bilson in the starring role is very winning and manages to light up the screen in all of her scenes. A majority of the charm of the show is watching her character struggle to understand this Southern environment with her New York City background.
The great actor Tim Matheson stars as Dr. Brick Breeland, the owner of the other half of the Bluebell practice that Zoe receives half of in her biological father's will. Dr. Breeland often gets into conflicts with Zoe on many different topics, including the ways they practice medicine and her big city manners.

Zoe reluctantly agrees to allow Joel to throw her a birthday party at Lavon's, but what's supposed to be a happy occasion is tainted when her mom surprises her with a visit. Vivian wants to meet Wade's dad, but Wade is hesitant. AnnaBeth gets an interesting request from the Belles that she was not expecting but, in light of recent developments might be the perfect distraction for her.
Zoe and Joel finally purchase a home, but soon realize they don't have enough money to fix it up. Brick makes a deal with Zoe that if she can get the townspeople to lose 500 pounds collectively for Health and Wellness Month, he will help with home improvement.
Lavon focuses on preventing the merger, while the town must convince the Lt. Governor to name BlueBell a historic town. Zoe and Joel search for a place to live and Wade has his work cut out for him after he meets Vivian's son.
Brick nominates Zoe to help with the local cabaret. Feeling defeated, Lavon leans on AnnaBeth and Lemon to motivate him to put up one last fight.

Jamaica bred rapper Canibus turns 38 years old today. Canibus and his mother moved to the Bronx when he was thirteen years old where he developed a love for beatboxing and breakdancing.
In 1995, Canibus and rapper Web started making moves in Atlanta as the duo T.H.E.M. (The Heralds of Extreme Metaphor).
Canibus decided to go solo and released his debut album Can-I-Bus in September 1998. The lead single "Second Round K.O", which was produced by Wyclef Jean, featured spoken word by Mike Tyson and became Canibus's only top 40 single.
In June 2012, Canibus received criticism for pulling out a notepad as a last resort in a broadcast rap battle verse Dizaster. He released a statement apologizing for the ordeal, and said "I tried my best and stood there like the solider I am but there was nothing I can do." –Anastasia Williams

How is hepatitis A treated?
There is no specific medicine to treat or cure hepatitis A. If you have the virus, you should get plenty of rest, eat a balanced diet and avoid alcohol and acetaminophen (one brand: Tylenol). Both alcohol and medicines like acetaminophen are broken down by the liver and may increase the speed of liver damage in people who have hepatitis.
Talk with your doctor about any other over-the-counter medicines you are taking, as they may need to be changed or stopped while you have the virus.
You may need to stay in the hospital for a short time if you get dehydrated, have severe pain, suddenly become confused or develop bleeding problems.

Best Performance Upgrades?
I just bought an 04 Sierra 2500HD. I was wondering what anyone would recommend for performance upgrades. I'm not looking for power as much as I am more interested in mpg and something that may help the truck last the longest. I don't want to mess with anything that could lead to potential bigger problems down the road. Suggestions? Thanks

CAI don't do much as the stock box functions as a CAI, you might want to replace the intake tube with something that does not have those silly resonators.
I would definitely go with at least replacing the water heater sized mufflers they put on these trucks to something less restrictive. If you want to get fancy, you can replace the exhaust manifolds with some headers.
A ECM tune can give you some more noticeable HP/Tq gains, but usually at the expense of fuel economy.
One thing that will give you some better MPGs is to put on a tonneau cover. The Silverado XFE comes with a factory tonneau cover. As to which tonneau cover to buy, there are MANY to choose from.

@stchman, it's a duramax diesel. The first diesel I've had. Thanks, for all the feed back.
- - - Updated - - -
I'm new to all this stuff so it's kind of foreign. I've never really taken much of an interest in any of my vehicles. Just sort of a point A to point B thing for me. Now that I have a truck I'm proud of I want to take care of it and learn as much as I can about it. What is a tonneau cover, and an ECM tune? Sorry, like I said it's all new to me, definitely appreciate the help though. Thank you
08-07-2013, 04:11 PM #6The things said are oke .But to gain something true your exhaust you need to replace the complete system.air- intake is a bit of a scam.Only an other air-intake does next to nothing.
Doing both will make it easier to get the ECM tuned better for maximum hp/torque,for better milage stay stock,don't forget:the more air you take in,the more power but also more fuel needed,you can't drive on air alone.
ECM-tune can give big gain,but like you said,you want better mpg so you have to make that very clear when you get it tuned.(they are used to go for hp)or get a tuning-device(2-300$),a good one really does work,that way you can go for MPG or HP,whatever,whenever.
Tonneau-cover is a must,small mirrors(no,this is no yoke)do a bit.
The big gainers on fuel are your tires and most of all weight,but driving around without doors,seats,tonneau and what more isn't really comfortable;
08-07-2013, 06:25 PM #7Hypertech makes good products and you can program the ECM as needed for mpg, HP/TQ, towing, ect. Larger diameter exhaust is a good improvement as the faster the exhaust can get through the pipe, the better that turbo performes to an extend. The turbo obviously has limitations
Redo the programming after upgradesLast edited by BurbanMan; 08-07-2013 at 07:04 PM.
08-07-2013, 06:51 PM #8Forget the "Air Box" thingy, unless you want to add more fuel! Add power with the "Tuner" but you only feel it @ "Full Throttle" but there are many +'s....... A exhaust up-grade works a little bit!

Getting a custom tune can really boost the performance of your rig.
08-08-2013, 07:41 AM #10H&S tune FTW! My buddy has a '00 Dmax and he runs his on the "mild" tune and gets 26mpg around town and when we haul his 10k lb boat to the beach he averages 18mpg. Well worth the money. Other than the tune the truck is stock performance wise.

Jun 6, 2013John didn't seem his clumsy laugh at killing bad guys self. Almost like they subdued his character to make room for his son.
Another bad guy thrown off a roof, another copter crash, stuff we've already seen. Not the best Die Hard movie but it did have some good action parts like the chase. Just ignore the part about the SUV pushing a 30 ton armored vehicle off the road... -
Jun 4, 2013"While its barley worthy enough to call itself a "Die Hard" its still not as horrible as it could of been. It suffers from a middling plot, uninspired chemistry & a not-so intriguing premise overall. But nevertheless it was nice seeing John McClane again." C
Jun 4, 2013I watched this on premiere in Belgrade... I'm pretty big fan of Mr. Willis and Die Hard genre... But i must say that this was one of the worst movies EVER! I mean.. maybe i'm too judgemental cause i really like Die Hard and this was bad No story.. no nothing... Whole movie is created around few lines like "Oh my God" or "I'm on vacation" etc...
Anyhow.. big big disappointment -

May 22, 2013I don't know why people hate this movie it's enjoyable. It's action packed, what else do you want from a Die Hard movie. I only recommend for Die Hard fans.
May 19, 2013A Good Day to Die Hard is a colossal disappointment. Fans of the franchise would surely agree that the fifth entry in this action-packed series pissed all over its four outstanding predecessors out of it's sheer awfulness.
May 6, 2013They should just stop making die hard movies. Each one seems to be worse than the one before it. I almost fell asleep in the middle of it. Can you imagine that...bruce willis movie..die hard...and i am almost sleeping in the middle of it...just save yourself some time and stay away from it

Apr 10, 2013Action, Action, Action... fun movie nothing unexpected and sort of predictable, yet entertaining. I can truly say that John McClane is living up to the title... This series has yet to Die, hence its title DIE HARD.
Apr 9, 2013This film simply did not feel like a Die Hard movie... where was John McClain?? all I saw was Bruce Willis walking from explosions in slow motion. Hope they maybe cut down on making Die Hard movies as its killing the action legacy that the first filmleft
Apr 9, 2013This movie is not a masterpiece by any stretch of the imagination and has nothing on its predecessors, but it is one of the most fun movies I have seen in a long time, with it's combination of massive, over the top action sequences dominating the majority if the movie and McClane's dry humour weaved in-between huge explosions, results in a highly entertaining movie.
Apr 7, 2013I go to seen in the movie. I was expect borce wilton but some dumb bald in this garpage. i get up and leave. then i come back because i pay molny for tocket here is the score 2/10
Your good frons,

Apr 7, 2013Worst movie I've seen in a long time. No characterization worth mentioning, the characters' choices are non-sensical, and the action is lame. I don't recommend it. 2/10 stars.

Mar 20, 2013I wanted so hard to be able to say that I LOVE this one. However, the only thing I do love is the son. The face, the smile, the figure.^-^ What has happened, the fun is still there and the action... They just managed to make 98mins like forever. It just never stop. Die Hard? However about just stop and breath for once.
Mar 19, 2013If you dont want to catch cancer, dont watch this movie. It is like watching 2 girls 1 cup 90 minutes and paying for it. But if you you want to hear non stop John Macklane moaning that he is on vacation see "radiation neutralizator" in action ,roadtrip from Moscow to Pripyat in one evening, unnecessary 30 minutes car chase, evil protagonist and neutral antagonist go ahead and watch it.
Mar 9, 2013Director John Moore does what no man can do kill John McClane. The script is horrible, you don't care about one of these characters including McClane, and the CGI action scenes are just a waste of time.

Mar 6, 2013A Good Day to Die Hard suffers from a slew of problems. Poor pacing, poor camera work at times, a weak dynamic between the two main protagonists, a b-movie plot, and at the end of the day it just simply didn't feel like a Die Hard movie.
Mar 5, 2013I honestly don't see why its got such a low rating, after all its got such Awesome action, fair enough the story line wasn't brilliant and is a bit confusing but its still worth watching just for the gun fights and car chases.
The entire enterprise is a bewildering mess, put in place only to frustrate and alienate anyone who buys a ticket. Every action scene is telegraphed, and most of the dialogue is irrevocably stupid.
I hesitate to ask, but did anyone actually tell McClane, before he arrived, that the Cold War is over?
For anyone who remembers the "Die Hard" adventures at their vital and exciting best, this film feels like a near-death experience.

Show Your Gratitude and Honor Your Favorite Teacher for StoryCorps' National Day of Listening
by Trent Gilliss, senior editor
If you read this blog or listen to our public radio program, you more than likely know that we're super-big fans of Dave Isay and his StoryCorps project. And, for the fourth year now on the day after Thanksgiving, they celebrate by sponsoring a National Day of Listening. This year's theme: show your gratitude and thank a teacher.
Honor your favorite teacher and share a story about her or him. You can write an essay or, even better, take your iPhone or Android set and record something for yourself and for us. We're teaming up with NPR and StoryCorps and posting some of our favorite stories — audio, video, text, or tweet — right here on this blog. Or send a "thank you" Tweet to us at @Beingtweets (#thankateacher). Don't worry about the technical details or that you say (or write) it perfectly, sometimes it's most important that you just show up and say "Thank you!"
We can't wait to hear your stories!
Rules for Discussing The Meaning of It All
by Krista Tippett, host
On my radio show, which covers issues of faith and moral imagination, I encourage my guests to follow a couple of ground rules: No abstractions about God, and speak in the first person, not on behalf of your group or tradition (or God). This makes statements of belief much more hospitable, easier to hear. A listener might disagree with your opinion on ultimate questions but can't disagree with your experience of them. There is a profound difference between hearing someone say "this is the truth" and hearing her say "this is my truth."
Since we started doing the show in 2003, this approach has worked well with a great variety of guests, from theologians and physicists to poets and police officers. Many of them do not consider themselves religious, but all of them have something to say about the animating questions behind religion, which flow beyond the boundaries of faith: Where did we come from, and where are we going? What does it mean to be human, and how do we want to live?
I try to use words that get at truth three-dimensionally, tracing its shape in the thick of human experience, knowledge, and passion. This often helps to put a whole tradition in a new light. I once asked Laurie Zoloth, a Jewish bioethicist, how her study of Talmud and Torah could speak to the issue of reproductive cloning. The ancient rabbis, she told me, discussed how to bring a golem (a human-like creature) to life using sacred Hebrew letters. Modern science works with the newly discovered letters of DNA, but it still needs tools like narrative and metaphor, she suggested, to construct a moral universe beyond the borders of our imagination.
I love radio as a medium because it lets us experience — not just understand — the need for different words and forms of knowledge in telling the whole human story, what the physicist/theologian John Polkinghorne describes as "the rich, strange and surprising way the world actually is." There are some truths that only mathematical equations can convey, and others that can be conveyed only by poetry. There is wisdom, too, that only story can capture.
"The best question to bring a lofty conversation back to earth is: 'What do you mean when you say that?'"
In my experience on the air, I have found that the best question for bringing a lofty or difficult conversation back to a usable place for the listener is: "What do you mean when you say that?" The more thoughtful answers almost always contain a story. And the most vivid personal stories have the most universal reach, elevating our sense of others and of the humanity we share.
Somewhere near the end of every conversation, I ask some version of the question: "What have you learned about what it means to be human?" That might sound simple in the abstract. But it has elicited an amazing array of answers, depending on whether my guest is the parent of a child with autism, an acoustic biologist who spends her life with elephants in the wild, or an astrophysicist who has devoted himself to unraveling the mystery of "dark matter."
The complexities of our age — ecological and political, economic and social — have redrawn a range of basic existential and religious questions. The trick for us all is to create conversational spaces in which new answers can unfold. Using words wisely is essential to this effort, especially at a time when so many ideas related to human purpose have been reduced to blunt instruments in our public discourse. Shared convictions may elude us, but by learning to speak and listen in new ways, we can begin to live together and to look to the future differently.

Listen Generously in Your Life — StoryCorps Style
Krista Tippett, host
One of the great figures in public radio, in my mind, is David Isay; and one of the best things on the radio is his project StoryCorps, whose mission is "to honor and celebrate one another's lives through listening." This year, StoryCorps has declared November 28, the day after Thanksgiving, as the first National Day of Listening — encouraging all of us to sit down with the people we know, ask them about their lives, and record those conversations.
You'll find detailed instructions on their Web site for how to do these interviews and why they are important. As David Isay puts it, "By listening closely to one another, we can help illuminate the true character of this nation, reminding us all just how precious each day can be and how truly great it is to be alive." This project is very much in the spirit of what we do here at Speaking of Faith — so if you give it a try, let us know what happens.

Google says it was cut off from USDA project bid
Google is claiming that it was not given a chance to bid on a cloud-computing project for the U.S. Department of Agriculture, for which the contract was awarded to rival Microsoft.
Announced yesterday, Microsoft's winning bid will kick off a project to move 120,000 USDA employees to the company's cloud-based Business Productivity Online Suite, a collection of applications that includes Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, and Office Communications Online.
Though Microsoft already counts more than 500 state and local agencies among its cloud-computing customers, the new project marks its first with a cabinet-level federal agency.

A study that could benefit the development of a Recovery Plan is a proposal from the Australian Alps Liaison Committee, which is under consideration by the Department of Climate Change, to identify and combat the effects of climate change and the significant impact these are likely to have on major inland water resources (12/12/2008).
