VIDEO: Papa's Got a Brand New Blush
It's Friday. You deserve a good ROFL
Beauty vlogger fayesfix invited her dad to apply her makeup, and there isn't anything sweeter (or funnier) than his earnest effort. He gives it his best shot, but its clear that he has absolutely no concept of the difference between blush and foundation, bless his heart.
Once you start watching, you'll kill at least an hour scrolling through the others on YouTube. Don't say we didn't warn you.

I purchase for a local parts store, right part everytime. I used them when I was a service manager and customers did not want to pay Chrysler parts prices. These guys have real parts, Moog, Wagner, etc and they purchase direct for the manufacture.

'Mean Girls' Nintendo game: Lindsay Lohan cropped out?
Did Nintendo decide that Lindsay Lohan's party girl ways warrant her exclusion from the "Mean Girls" Nintendo DS game? Perhaps.
The cover of the game, which is due out Oct 31, 2010, shows the Plastics -- Rachel McAdams' Regina, Amanda Seyfried's Karen and Lacey Chabert's Gretchen. But Lindsay Lohan's Cady is nowhere to be found, even though the description of the game says: "Rumors. Lies. Intrigue. It's High School. Based on the hit Paramount movie. Follow the misadventures of Cady from Jingle Bell Rock to the School Prom."
Since the game is about Cady, it's weird that she would be left off the cover. Lindsay has recently been making news as her life continues to sadly spiral out of control, so maybe the Nintendo marketing department felt it a bad image to include on their game.
On the other hand, it's not like Lindsay was photoshopped out of the picture. As you can see above, the poster doesn't show her standing with the rest of the Plastics. She is off to the side, away from the original "mean girls." Nintendo DS games aren't actually very big, only a few inches by a few inches, so maybe Nintendo just didn't want to shrink the movie poster picture down that small and instead just used the three main "mean girls." That would make sense, since Lindsay isn't a "plastic" to begin with and eventually ends up eschewing that clique at the end of the movie.
What do you guys think? Left off on purpose?

that is too funny...well, if you are bad for business, you get left behind. Lindsey is a trainwreck!!!!!!!
Cady didn't eschew (not a word I ever use in conversation) the Plastics at the end of the movie. That clique was dissolved as an unintended consequence of her actions. Please don't sound like you didn't even watch the movie.
My guess is that la Lohan wanted too much money in exchange of rights to use her image. We're talking about somebody who's suing for $2m because some character in a commercial was named Lindsay...
The studio and the game developers may have preferred to give Cady another look to prevent a large sum of cash to go to Columbia.
It's strange that the article mentions a couple times that Nintendo made the decision. The game shows in the bottom right corner it was made by publisher 505 games, Nintendo had nothing to do with the design of the cover, except for setting the size dimensions for game cases.
If it's a first person game then it might warrant her omission from the cover. At least, that's what I'd say if I was in charge of designing the thing.
i think you meant $100mil.
I guess this leaves US to be Cady, rather than one of the plastics. That way when we buy the game we are facing the plastics, and that might be the whole idea of the game, right? :)

- 'Star Trek' spaceships through the years (pictures)
USS Enterprise NCC-1701
Over the last 47 years of "Star Trek," fans have seen many captains and crews zipping around the cosmos aboard colossal Starfleet spacecraft. As "Star Trek Into Darkness" launches into U.S. theaters, we look back at the main ships seen in the 5 television series and 12 movies.
This photo shows a CGI version of the USS Enterprise NCC-1701, launched in 2245, which Captain James T. Kirk (William Shatner) and crew flew aboard in the original television series. According to the 2011 book "Star Trek: U.S.S. Enterprise: Haynes Manual," art director Matt Jefferies' Enterprise design was influenced from aviation designs and an electric stove coil. The ship used deflector shields for protection and photon torpedoes and phasers to fight back against hostile alien ships. To get around, the Enterprise (and most other Federation ships) uses a warp drive to bounce around from system to system.

Engine Cooling problem

radiator fans not working

June 21, 2009.
The ECM varies the duty cycle of the PWM signal between 3-90 percent to vary cooling fan speed. The cooling fans are off at duty cycles between 3-9 percent. When duty cycle increases above 9 percent the cooling fans come on at minimum speed. The speed increases in proportion to increase in duty cycle, up to a maximum speed at a duty cycle of 90 percent. If duty cycle is less than 3 percent or more than 90 percent, the cooling fan ECU interprets the signal as an open or short circuit and runs the cooling fans at maximum speed to ensure the engine and transmission do not overheat.
The speed of the cooling fans varies between a minimum of 750 RPM at 6 volts and a maximum of 4000 RPM at nominal battery voltage. To reduce the noise from the cooling fans they are driven at slightly different speeds, except when running at minimum or maximum speeds. Stepped speed changes occur at 1500 RPM (right cooling fan) and 1450-2600 RPM (left cooling fan) to improve refinement.
Control Inputs
While the engine is running, the ECM adjusts the speed of the cooling fans in response to inputs from:
The thermostat monitoring sensor, for engine cooling. The fans come on at minimum speed if the coolant temperature goes above 194 °F (90 °C), and progressively increase to a maximum speed at a coolant temperature of 216 °F (102 °C).
The A/C system, via the instrument pack and the CAN bus, for refrigerant system cooling.
The Electronic Automatic Transmission (EAT) ECU, via the CAN bus, for transmission cooling.
If there is a conflict between requested cooling fan speeds from the different inputs, the ECM adopts the highest requested speed.
As part of the power down routine, when the ignition is turned off, if the ambient air temperature is more than 59 °F (15 °C) the ECM samples the coolant temperature using the input from the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor. If the coolant temperature is more than 223 °F (106 °C), the ECM signals for the cooling fans to come on. The speed of the cooling fans is in proportion to the coolant temperature, from minimum speed at less than 223 °F (106 °C) to maximum speed at 239 °F (115 °C). The cooling fans are turned off after 5 minutes or when the coolant temperature decreases to 223 °F (106 °C), whichever occurs first.

Very attractive! Kathleen Logan from Grovetown, GA– Verified Buyer Bought these for my school. They're a little smaller than my other book displays, but they're well made and an excellent buy. On the back side, rather than having a solid back, there are shallow shelves. I'm sure kids would think the nooks would be a great place for storing small toys or running model cars across. Perfect for home use. They come fully assembled and are a light birch in color. |

From Death Star to Disney, exploring the 'Star Wars' franchise (Q&A)
It's one of the biggest film franchises of all time. It's also one of the biggest merchandising franchises of all time. It's spawned dozens of novels, countless comic books, spoofs, video games, and even was responsible for the name of a controversial military defense system.

The new Apple TV user interface designs, which debuted alongside the new 1080p Apple TV, are actually 5 years old and were originally tossed out by the late Steve Jobs, who didn't like them. This according to Michael Margolis on Twitter, who claims to have "implemented much of the AppleTV 2.0 UI years ago".
The comment was made in response to Aral Balkan, who asked, "Wtf happened, Apple, did a rainbow throw up at one infinite loop while having sex with a designer from Samsung?" Margolis added, "The new home page UI makes me cry."
Thanks, though most of the product is the same. I also don't like the top-bar-navigation on the app store UI.
Fun fact - those new designs were tossed out 5 years ago because SJ didn't like them. Now there is nobody to say "no" to bad design.
Margolis closed out the exchange by saying, as far as he knew, "that whole team has left/been replaced".
Seth Weintraub from 9to5Mac checked into Margolis on LinkedIn, and found him listed as both former Senior Software Engineer at Apple, and Professional Hobbyist, AppleTV. He's currently listed as iPhone Software Connoisseur at Massive Health.
The new Apple TV user interface has been somewhat controversial, with some liking it and believing it hints at a future where apps can run on the Apple TV as they do on other iOS devices like the iPhone and iPad. Others feel the icons are inelegant and poorly organized.
However, citing the lack of Steve Jobs being there to say "no" to bad design is somewhat specious. Some of the user interface decisions made by Jobs were just as controversial, including pinstripes and brushed metal on OS X, the new iTunes icon, and the skeumorphic trend on iOS involving plush leather, green felt, and various shades of linen.
Update: It occurs to me that 5 years ago was iOS 1 (iPhone OS 1), which consisted of a Home screen interface with nothing but a collection of static, unorganized, unorganizable icons. The ability to move and organize apps on the Home screen wasn't added until iOS 1.1 in January of 2008 when Apple created Web Clips (web app icons on the Home screen). Jobs obviously okayed the iPhone UI, and later evolutions thereof. Since you can't directly interact with the Apple TV like you can the iPhone and iPad UI, however, it's not quite the same.
Personally, I'd prefer some hierarchical organization -- News, Sports, Videos, etc. instead of just all the icons (some rather less than appealing to l
If you've tried out the new Apple TV software, what do you think of it? Designed fine, or design crime?
I preferred the menus to the colorful chicklets that now adorn my screen. I hope they bring it back in the next update.
the new UI is better and easier to use, with nothing "hiding" from the user and so no annoying searching around using a remote control to find things.
the design of the icons themselves, however, is a terrible horrible noggood verybad thing. way, way, way over saturated. horrible, terrible, pitooie.
Wouldn't be so bad if we could reorganize them to have our most used ones in the first row. I have to scroll past a bunch of sports crap I don't use just to get to YouTube.
Having never used the old UI, I can't personally comment on the comparison between the new and the old.
I do find it slightly disconcerting that, now with Jobs gone, Apple went ahead and used an element he scrapped years ago...
I, too, prefer the menu UI; at least there was some semblance of organization here. This one will not scale well with added services, especially when the included remote requires so much actuation force for the buttons. They need to figure out how to reduce clicks here. It does show just how few services/features this unit has compared to its competitors - and how are individual services such as MLB and NFL getting menu parity with core functions like music and photos? As for design, yeah....it's a step back, and also inferior to its competitors, to include my 3-yr-old entry-level Sony Blu-Ray player. And those icons could stand to look a little more crisp.
That said, I do like the improved performance and resolution, and flipping through the panels is fun- the physics are pulled off well is pretty good, and the origami screen-saver animation is Flipboard-flawless. Still a worthy upgrade.
I haven't tried Apple TV but I thought I'd comment on the statement that Jobs is no longer there to say NO to bad design. Steve certainly had his controversial moments, which you mention. And sometimes a decision that seemed bad/crazy at the time was prescient later. Like the decision to remove the floppy drive from the iMac in 1998 because "No one uses floppy drives any more." At the time, everyone thought he was crazy. People had to buy add-on drives to use their old floppies. But 14 years later, most kids have never even heard of floppy drives and the capacity of thumb drives - which didn't exist at the time - vastly exceeds what even DVDs can hold.
I wonder if SJ said "No" to other things this FORMER employee had something to do with, and has axes to grind?
You have to wonder what other Bad Ideas are going to be revisited now that SJ is gone. This is what we have been worried about in that were they going to stay the course for awhile. Looks like we have our answer and it's not the one we wanted.
I find the comments by this person to be very inappropriate. That is not something that should be public IMHO. To me it sounds like he is some how hinting that now without Mr. Jobs Apple will start doing just anything and is putting down both Jobs and Apple because one of his ideas got tossed a few years ago.
I don't understand why MobileMe is there, isn't that going away, so why have it there now? The icons do look less polished than for other iOS devices, they just need to be tweaked to look more beautiful. Would also like to be able to customize move icons to top, bottom or delete altogether.
Given the many other tools and options available, I'm not even sure what the point of the Apple TV is in the first place...
It is bad design and SJ wouldn't stand for it. The new menu system is awful. It looks like the sort of thing i'd expect to see on a tiny sub-$100 media streamer... oh, wait...
But then, what I get from Apple should really be more than i expect. Apple - please god change it back at the next update, or move on to proper iOS TV.
Apple should actually make it possible for us to CHOOSE if we want the old or new "theme".
That way everyone would be happy.
I like the older version better !
For those of you complaining about the UI of Apple TV. Buy an Xbox with the Metro UI. Problem solved.
I preferred the old UI which was much cleaner and kept everything onscreen. This one wouldnt be half as bad if you could at least rearrange the icons.
I think it's a bit of a mess. I want to hide any unused icons for a start and reorganise the ones I do use. The main icons are way too big with a maximum of five across now. One of the main ones is settings. Who cares about settings once they're set? It all seems like a step backwards to me. Plenty of other good points thankfully though.
New interface is tacky. It looks like jelly beans. Not surprised it was vetoed. First thing i thought when i saw it was, "I wonder if Job's would have like all the gawdy colors? I think not." Not minimalist enough. Too many gawdy colors.
I like it. It's way better than the previous UI. Which was plain and text based. Of course I wish there was more apps for it.
Pleeeease bring back the prior UI back!!! Certainly more organized than the last update. They could improve the radio more Pandora like or include it.
I'm brand new to Apple TV so I have nothing to compare it to, but I am disappointed in the iPhone/iPad "Remote" app for it. Why doesn't it give me the same screen on my iPad so I can touch and go, instead of just scrolling with my finger instead of the included remote control? It would allow an easy way to move icons around, and hide or create a folder for those I don't use. I love the unit itself, but the Remote app the make for it could be so much more useful.
Have been using Apple TV for many years and it is a cornerstone of our home entertainment system. The new GUI is overwhelming in its appearance with us on a 42" plasma screen having to scroll up and down to see all the childlike icons. A scaled down version that fits all on screen or is scalable would have been very good. This eyesore is a mess and not being able to turn off the preview items at the top a travesty of design.
Remote control is awful too...
It's a horrible design and I'm not updating until the next release when hopefully they realize what they did and change it.
You've seen the new interface for ical and addressbook, right? They happened on Steve's watch and they are hideous beyond belief.

Porter Johnston Goss (born November 26, 1938) is an American politician who was the first Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (DCIA) and the last Director of Central Intelligence following the passage of the 2004 Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act, which abolished the DCI position. A CIA officer and veteran of Operation 40, he served as a Republican member of the U.S. House of Representatives from 1989 until he took up his post at the agency.[1]
Goss represented the Florida's 14th congressional district, which includes Lee County, Fort Myers, Naples, and part of Port Charlotte. He served for a time as the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee. Goss was a co-sponsor of the USA PATRIOT Act and was a co-chair of the Joint 9/11 Intelligence Inquiry.
Goss resigned as Director of the CIA on May 5, 2006 in a sit-down press conference with President George W. Bush from the Oval Office.[2] On May 8, Bush nominated U.S. Air Force General Michael Hayden to be Goss's successor.
Goss is an avid organic farmer.[3] He has a farm in Virginia and spends his summers on Fishers Island in Long Island Sound.
Education and early CIA career[edit]
Goss was born in Waterbury, Connecticut, the son of Virginia Holland (née Johnston) and Richard Wayne Goss, who was an executive of the Scovill Manufacturing Company (a corporation controlled by the Goss family).[4][5][6][7] He attended Camp Timanous in Raymond, Maine and was educated at the Fessenden School. In 1956, he graduated from the Hotchkiss School in Lakeville, Connecticut.
Goss graduated from Yale University in 1960 with a Bachelor of Arts in ancient Greek.[8] (Goss also speaks Spanish and French). At Yale, he was a member of Book and Snake, a secret society at Yale.[9] He was a member of the Psi Upsilon fraternity alongside William H.T. Bush, the uncle of President George W. Bush, and John Negroponte, who served as an ambassador for George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush, and as Goss's superior in the post of Director of National Intelligence from 2005 to 2006.[10] Negroponte solicited Goss's assistance, while Goss was Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, to get the position as US ambassador to the United Nations in the first term of the second Bush administration.
In his junior year at Yale, Goss was recruited by the Central Intelligence Agency. He spent much of the 1960s — roughly from 1960 until 1971 — working for the Directorate of Operations, the clandestine services of the CIA. There he first worked in Latin America and the Caribbean and later in Europe. The full details are not known due to the classified nature of the CIA, but Goss has said that he had worked in Haiti, Santo Domingo, and Mexico. A photograph taken in Mexico City in January 1963 shows Goss with his arm around David Sánchez Morales, at a table with Barry Seal and other CIA members of Operation 40, a U.S.-backed right-wing assassination squad.[citation needed]
Goss, who has said that he has recruited and trained foreign agents, worked in Miami for much of the time. Goss was involved in the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, telling the Washington Post in 2002 that he had done some "small-boat handling" and had "some very interesting moments in the Florida Straits."
Towards the end of his career as a CIA officer, Goss was transferred to Europe, where, in 1970, he collapsed in his London hotel room because of a blood infection in his heart and kidneys.[11][12] Fox News reported that Goss believes he was poisoned.[13]
Goss first retired from the CIA in 1971, and moved to Sanibel, Florida.[14][15][16]
After his return to CIA service as the presidentially-appointed Director (DCI/DCIA), Goss again retired from the CIA on May 5, 2006.
Government career[edit]
After his first retirement from the CIA, Goss moved to Sanibel, a resort town off the coast of Fort Myers. In 1974, he was elected to the City Council and then was elected mayor by the council. In 1983, Bob Graham, then Governor of Florida, appointed Goss to the Lee County Board of Commissioners.
In 1988 Goss ran for Congress in what was then the 13th congressional district of Florida. The seat was vacated by Connie Mack III when Mack ran successfully for the U. S. Senate. In the Republican primary — the main contest in this heavily Republican district — Goss's main opponent was Louis A. "Skip" Bafalis, who had represented the district for 10 years before making an unsuccessful bid for governor. Bafalis was initially heavily favored due to his name recognition. However, he only garnered 29% of the vote in the primary to Goss's 38%, largely due to the fact that Goss's campaign was much better financed. Goss went on to defeat Bafalis handily in the runoff election. In the general election, Goss faced the former first president of Common Cause, Jack T. Conway. Goss won in a rout, taking 71 percent of the vote. He was easily reelected seven times. The district was so heavily Republican that Goss only faced a Democrat one other time, in 1996; he won with 73 percent of the vote. He was unopposed for reelection in 1990, 1994 and 1998.
In Congress, Goss had a mostly conservative voting record. However, he tended to be much more supportive of environmental legislation than most of his fellow Republicans. For instance, he supported the Kyoto Protocol and strengthening the Environmental Protection Agency. Most of his major legislation has been intelligence authorization bills, with some local constituent-services bills.
The legislation he sponsored include: a constitutional amendment to establish term limits limiting representatives to no more than three consecutive terms of four years.[17] Major bills sponsored by Goss include a bill to limit Congressional pay raises to no more than Social Security cost-of-living adjustments[18] (unpassed), The Public Interest Declassification Act of 1999[19] (unpassed), and the USA PATRIOT Act.
He served in Congress for 16 years until his appointment by President George W. Bush to be Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). While in the House, Goss served as chair of the House Intelligence Committee from 1997 until 2005 and the vice-chairman of the House Rules Committee. He also helped establish and served on the Homeland Security Committee. As a congressman, Goss consistently and emphatically defended the CIA and supported strong budget increases for the Agency, even during a time of tight budgets and Clintonian slashes to other parts of the intelligence budgets. In mid-2004, Goss took a very strong position, during what had already been announced as his last congressional term, urging specific reforms and corrections in the way the CIA carried out its activities, lest it become "just another government bureaucracy."

Intelligence inquiry: September 11, 2001[edit]
In August 2001 Goss, Senator Bob Graham (D-FL), and Senator Jon Kyl (R-AZ) visited Islamabad, Pakistan. Meetings were held with President Pervez Musharraf and with Pakistan's military and intelligence officials including the head of Pakistan's Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) General Mahmud Ahmed, as well as with the Afghan ambassador to Pakistan, Abdul Salam Zaeef. On the morning 11 September 2001, Goss and Graham were having breakfast with General Ahmad.[20][21][dead link] Ahmad's network had ties to Osama bin Laden and directly funded, supported, and trained the Taliban.[22] They met with Musharraf and Zaeef on the 27th. As reported by Agence France Presse on August 28, 2001, Zaeef assured the US delegation that the Taliban would never allow bin Laden to use Afghanistan to launch attacks on the US or any other country. Goss fully defended the CIA and the Bush administration. With the White House and Sen. Graham, his counterpart in the Senate Intelligence Committee, Goss rebuffed calls for an inquiry in the weeks immediately following September 11.
After growing pressure, Congress established the Joint Inquiry into Intelligence Community Activities before and after the Terrorist Attacks of September 11, 2001, a joint inquiry of the two intelligence committees, led by Graham and Goss. Goss and Graham made it clear that their goal was not to identify specific wrongdoing: Graham said the inquiry would not play "the blame game about what went wrong from an intelligence perspective,", and Goss said, "This is not a who-shall-we-hang type of investigation. It is about where are the gaps in America's defense and what do we do about it type of investigation."[23]
The Washington Post reported statements made by Goss on May 17, 2002. Goss said he was looking for "solutions, not scapegoats." He called the uproar over the President's Daily Brief of August 6, 2001, Bin Ladin Determined To Strike in US, "a lot of nonsense." He also said, "None of this is news, but it's all part of the finger-pointing. It's foolishness." The Post also reported that Goss refused to blame an "intelligence failure" for September 11, preferring to praise the agency's "fine work."(Washington Post, May 18, 2002, "A Cloak But No Dagger; An Ex-Spy Says He Seeks Solutions, Not Scapegoats for 9/11")
The inquiry's final report was released in December 2002 and focused entirely on the CIA and FBI's activities, including no information on the White House's activities. Ray McGovern, a 27-year veteran of the CIA turned Democratic political activist and a frequent commentator on intelligence issues, believed the report showed that Goss gave "clear priority to providing political protection for the president" when conducting the inquiry.
Goss publicly declared his opposition to the creation of an independent 9-11 Commission. A year later, he declined to open committee hearings into the Plame affair, saying: "Somebody sends me a blue dress and some DNA, I'll have an investigation."[24]
Goss chiefly blames President Bill Clinton for the recent CIA failures. He confided in a reporter: "The one thing I lose sleep about is thinking what could I have done better, how could I have gotten more attention on this problem sooner." When asked whether he ever brought up his concerns with the administration, Goss claimed he had met three times with President Clinton to discuss "certain problems." The upshot? "He was patient and we had an interesting conversation but it was quite clear he didn't value the intelligence community to the degree President Bush does."
As Newsweek[25] and CNN[26] reported, in June 2004, while Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, in the face of withering attacks by the Democrats against the Bush Administration in a very tightly contested presidential and congressional election year, Goss defended the intelligence community and the Administration in decidedly partisan terms. During floor debate, fending off efforts by the Democrats in the House to cut the intelligence budget, Goss argued that Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.), the Democratic presidential nominee, did not appreciate the critical need for robust and sustained support for the CIA and the Intelligence Community. Goss noted a 1977 quote of Kerry's arguing for intelligence budget cuts and calling Kerry's proposals on nuclear security "dangerously naive."
Director of CIA[edit]
Following the June 3, 2004 resignation of CIA director George Tenet, Goss was nominated to become the new director on August 10 by President George W. Bush. The appointment was challenged by some prominent Democrats, including former Vice President Al Gore, Sen. Robert Byrd (D-WV). Sen. John D. Rockefeller IV (D-WV), vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, expressed concerns that Goss was too politically partisan, given his public remarks against Democrats while serving as chairman of the House Intelligence Committee. Another Democratic member of the committee, Ron Wyden (D-OR), expressed concerns that given Goss's history within and ties to the CIA, he would be too disinclined to push for institutional change. In an interview carried out by Michael Moore's production company on March 3, 2004, Goss described himself as "probably not qualified" for a job within the CIA, because the language skills the Agency now seeks are not languages he speaks and because the people applying today for positions within the CIA's four directorates have such keen technical and analytic skills, which he did not have when he applied to the Agency in the early 1960s. (See below)
The U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee endorsed his nomination by a 12-4 vote on September 20, 2004, and on September 22 he was confirmed by the Senate in a 77-17 vote. Republican senators unanimously backed him, along with many prominent Democrats, including the two Democratic senators from Florida, Bob Graham and Bill Nelson, and Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle.
While at the CIA, Goss reportedly began to reverse the acts of the previous Directors. Goss and others noted in numerous reports and writings their opposition to risk aversion "which is the last thing you want in an intelligence agency."[27]
Early change under Goss[edit]
This section of a biographical article needs additional citations for verification. (July 2008) |
Goss arrived as CIA Director on September 24, 2004. He had promised the US Senate that he would bring change and reform to the CIA.
He brought with him five personal staff that were to implement changes that became unpopular with CIA professionals. Goss's chief of staff, Patrick Murray, is a former federal prosecutor who served as the House Intelligence Committee Chief Counsel for about 6 years, and as its staff director for the final year before coming to the CIA. Murray also was appointed by President George W. Bush to the position of Associate Deputy Attorney General at the Department of Justice from 2001 to 2003. He served on the Bush-Cheney Transition Team for the Intelligence Community in 2000 and until the Inauguration. Goss's other staff included Dr. J. Jakub, who formerly served as a CIA DI analyst and was trained as an operations officer before leaving the Agency to attend Oxford University, where he obtained his D.Phil. He served on the House Intelligence Committee and for Senator Saxby Chambliss doing oversight work of the CIA and the Intelligence Community since 1998 before rejoining the CIA with Goss in October 2004. Merrell Moorhead worked for Goss for 10 years, seven of them on the House Intelligence Committee, including as the Committee's Deputy Staff Director, doing oversight and budgetary/programmatic work regarding the CIA.
Almost immediately upon Director Goss's and his former Congressional staffers arrival, Steve Kappes — the Director of Operations — and his subordinates including Michael Sulick, Kappes' then-deputy began a series of confrontations with Goss and his personal staff immediately upon their arrival at the CIA.[citation needed] Kappes was rumored to have personally told DO officers that if they were seen or heard to be subservient to the new DCI and his staff their careers would be over. Kappes, Sulick, and Deputy Director John McLaughlin were reported to believe that ultimately Goss would back down .
Since Kappes' reemergence at the CIA it has been reported that he quit the Agency rather than carry out a request by Goss to reassign Michael Sulick. It is also reported that this incident occurred because the chief of staff, Murray, heatedly admonished Sulick about the then assistant deputy director for counterintelligence, Mary Margaret Graham, about leaked classified information regarding another CIA officer.
Sulick reportedly left the Director's office, leaving Kappes standing there stony-faced. Murray then made the point that if that was the way Sulick was going to act with the DCI's chief of staff, Kappes needed to think about reassigning him to New York, because that sort of relationship just could not be good for the CIA or the DCI.[citation needed]
A week later, Kappes and Sulick, recognizing that Goss was going to protect his former Hill staff, announced that they were retiring, John McLaughlin, the then Deputy Director, who Goss reportedly believed had started the whole series of events by appointing Kappes to the DDO position without consulting Goss, announced his departure just two days later.
Following Goss's departure, both Kappes and Sulick have returned to positions of higher authority in the U.S. Intelligence Community. Kappas is the Deputy Director of the CIA and Sulick was appointed Director of the National Clandestine Service on September 14, 2007.
On May 5, 2006 Goss' resignation from the CIA directorship was announced at a joint press briefing with President Bush at the White House. There was speculation in the press concerning the reasons of the sudden announcement.
The Los Angeles Times reported "Goss was pushed out by Negroponte after clashes between them over Goss' management style, as well as his reluctance to surrender CIA personnel and resources to new organizations set up to combat terrorism and weapons proliferation."[28] Negroponte for his part had been an ambassador, and a consumer of intelligence. Goss made the point with Negroponte that pursuing changes Negroponte reportedly desired, in the manner upon which Negroponte reportedly insisted, contradicted the intent of the intelligence reform legislation; this was to add to the capabilities of the existing agencies in the intelligence community, not to detract and diminish those existing capabilities. The Weekly Standard also noted that Goss wanted intelligence analysts to get more exposure to intelligence gathering and Negroponte planned to move them from the CIA over to DNI, farther from intelligence gathering. While the editors of The Weekly Standard sided with Goss in this dispute, they believe Goss was forced out for other reasons:
- [W]e are concerned that Goss left, or was eased out, for reasons of greater policy significance. And if this is the case, Goss's leaving is not a good sign. Goss is a political conservative and an institutional reformer. He is pro-Bush Doctrine and pro-shaking-up-the-CIA.
- John Negroponte, so far as we can tell, shares none of these sympathies. Negroponte is therefore more in tune with large swaths of the intelligence community and the State Department. If Negroponte forced Goss out and is allowed to pick Goss's successor — if Goss isn't replaced with a reformer committed to fighting and winning the war on terror, broadly and rightly understood — then Goss's departure will prove to have been a weakening moment in an administration increasingly susceptible to moments of weakness.[29]
Goss was replaced by Negroponte's Principal Deputy Director for National Intelligence, four-star Air Force General Michael Hayden.
Excerpt from the History of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence[30]
- "The idea of a Director of National Intelligence (DNI) dates to 1955 when a blue-ribbon study commissioned by Congress recommended that the Director of Central Intelligence should employ a deputy to run the CIA so that the director could focus on coordinating the overall intelligence effort."
Robert Novak's May 11 column claimed "Goss faced a disintegrating CIA. The major analytic functions were passed to the DNI. Special operations were going over to the Pentagon. Negroponte was no help to Goss. Although bizarre reasons for Goss's resignation have been floated on the Internet, sources say Negroponte simply suggested his time was up."
Goss is an active speaker on the lecture circuit.[31]
About Iran's nuclear program[edit]
On 15 December 2005, Goss warned Ankara to be ready for a possible U.S. aerial operation against Iran and Syria.
As people in the U.S. readied themselves for Christmas, few were aware that CIA Director Porter Goss was in Ankara, Turkey on Monday, engaged in a meeting that lasted over four hours with Turkish Intelligence officials. Goss, accompanied by a large delegation, brought secret data about Iran as he met with officials of the Milli Istihbarat Teskilati, or MIT. Goss allegedly asked for Turkish support for the Bush administration's policies on Iran's nuclear activities, telling Turkish officials that Iran has nuclear weapons, a situation that created a huge threat to Turkey and other countries in the region.
Goss said that Iran sees Turkey as an enemy and will "export its regime," warning Ankara to be ready for a possible U.S. aerial operation against Iran and Syria.
On Tuesday Goss was driven in his armored BMW to a meeting with Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Additional dialogue reportedly focused on the intelligence data, with Goss warning Ankara to be ready for a possible U.S. aerial operation against Iran and Syria.[32][33][34]

Durable pair
January 24, 2012
I bought the gloves recently to snowboard in Killington, VT. They have a great design, love the hand warmer pocket in the inside. Yet, they run somewhat small. I am a 5'5", 125lbs gal; my hands fit usually comfortably in small, yet I can't wear the fleece glove and the outer shell one at the same time, it is way too tight.

Back to the Roots: Examining Maryknoll's Heroic Beginnings
The Evangelical Vision of Father Thomas Fredrick Price
The saintly co-founder of Maryknoll, Father Thomas Fredrick Price, was an apostolic priest, faithful to Catholic orthodoxy, totally consecrated to the Immaculate Virgin, and zealous for the conversion of America and the pagan Orient to the true Church.
News of leftist-communist political activism and open dissent from binding Church teaching among Maryknoll missionaries has overshadowed the great beginnings of the first foreign missionary institute in the U.S. But if we look not too far back - through the "smoke of Satan" that Pope Paul VI said had entered the sanctuary of God - we will see Maryknoll's early history as one of great heroism, beginning with its two venerable founders.
Known as "Walsh and Price" - people said they sounded like a business firm - Fathers James A. Walsh and Thomas F. Price were a wonderfully complementary pair. They were two very distinctively American types: Father (later Bishop) Walsh was a city slicker from Boston with a head for organizing things on a grand scale; Father Price, a "Tar Heel" from North Carolina, was a country boy, homespun and personable - and very saintly. It is the latter half of this diverse duo that I would like to feature.
We begin with a brief sketch: Thomas Fredrick Price (August 19, 1860 - September 12, 1919) was the son of two converts of Wilmington, North Carolina. Learning to serve Mass as a young man, he occasionally accompanied Bishop (later Cardinal) Gibbons on his rounds among the few Catholics of the region. The tender piety of the boy's mother and his close relationship to his parish priests awoke in young "Freddie" the idea of a priestly vocation. He went to Saint Charles Seminary in Catonsville, Maryland, followed by Saint Mary's in Baltimore.
In 1886, he became the first North Carolinian ordained to the priesthood. Initially a parish priest, he became a missionary to non-Catholics in his home state. Included in his apostolic undertakings were the foundation of a boys' orphanage and, later, of a seminary to train young men to be priests in the North Carolina mission. In 1910, he became acquainted with Father James Walsh at a Eucharistic Congress in Montreal. The two nurtured the same zealous aspirations, and, eventually, founded the first foreign missionary institute in the U.S.: The Catholic Foreign Mission Society of America. Commonly known as Maryknoll, the institution was approved by the U.S. hierarchy and blessed by Pope Saint Pius X, who personally encouraged the founders.
Father Price performed many functions in the Society's early days: He was their advocate among the bishops, a fund raiser, recruiter, seminary instructor, and spiritual director of seminarians and brothers - a position which allowed him to put the stamp of his deep piety on the fledgling institution. When the new Society's first three priests were ready to depart for China on September 7, 1918, Father Price went with them. Just over a year later, on the Feast of the Holy Name of Mary, September 12, 1919, he died in Hong Kong of a burst appendix.
Father Price was considered a saint by many who knew him, but of all this testimony, we will give only one instance: At the end of his life, the Chinese faithful of the Yeungkong mission called him simply, "The Holy Priest."
The secret of his sanctity lay in living the Marian Consecration promoted by Saint Louis de Montfort. He wore chains on his arms and legs - padlocked ones! - symbolizing his slavery to the Blessed Virgin. He first consecrated himself in Lourdes, France, where he became deeply impressed with the message of Our Lady and the virtues of Saint Bernadette. He became a pioneer in promoting the apparition in this country, translating one volume on the little visionary, and authoring another.
The Mother Superior at Nevers, France, gave him the unique privilege of saying Mass at the tomb of Bernadette, who had not yet been declared "venerable." More strikingly, the sisters allowed his heart to be buried near Saint Bernadette's remains. A plaque on the wall marks the spot of its repose. The message of Lourdes - "I am the Immaculate Conception" - was something he thought particularly relevant to the U.S., given the fact that our nation was consecrated to Our Lady under that title.
But if this Marian missionary was so desirous of the conversion of his homeland - as a lad of seven, he said he wanted "Every Tar Heel a Catholic!" - why is he the cofounder of a foreign missionary society? The answer to this question only confirms the Tar Heel's supernatural wisdom. Back when Cardinal Manning began the English congregation known as the Mill Hill Fathers, critics asked why English Catholics would go abroad as missionaries when Albion was not yet reclaimed from Henry VIII's treachery. The Cardinal's reply was that God would reward the generous spirit of England's Catholics in evangelizing the heathen: "If we desire to find the surest way to multiply immensely our own material means for works at home, it is by not limiting the expansion of charity and by not paralyzing the zeal of self-denial."
Manning's ideas had impressed Father Walsh, and he, in turn, convinced Father Price of their merit. Father Price's beloved "North Carolina Apostolate" - he had built a seminary for it, and another when the first burned down - was turned over to another priest. Just as Mother Cabrini, Father Kino, and others were supposed to go to China and ended up here in America, our American apostle ended up in China.
To Father Price, the home and foreign missions were of a piece, and he was indignant that neither was sufficiently supported by American Catholics. Accusing them of "apathy" and "indifference," he thundered: "If the Catholics in this country but did their duty to both home and foreign missions a mighty change would take place both in ourselves and in the whole foreign-mission world. The matter of missions will not down. It lies in the very essence of Catholicity, and it is shameful that at present we do so little."
But what did the Church think of Maryknoll's roundabout way of converting America?
In the person of Pope Saint Pius X, she heartily approved! Father Price related the saint's reaction: "He said, when he read the schema prepared for him of the work - and he read every word of it - that he granted it, and us, all benedictions. As he was reading, he said twice that we had in America enough outside the Church - millions - who needed to be converted, but he thought this work would stimulate that, besides bringing about its own good." [Emphasis mine.]
If today's Maryknoll has abandoned the founders' vision, it is no doubt due to the fact that, unlike Saint Pius X, they do not believe that those "outside the Church. needed to be converted." And would they say, as Father Price did, "Pray and work for the conversion of countless millions now perishing"? Their interest having shifted from the supernatural to the natural, from Christian salvation to Marxist "liberation," it seems that prominent Maryknollers would have other interests.
Through the intercession of the Immaculate One of Lourdes, of Saint Bernadette and - I shall include him "privately" - of Father Thomas Price, may there arise many true sons and daughters of "Walsh and Price" to make America what they wanted it to become, the world's great missionary superpower.

I despise the fact that Maryknoll has gotten so much negative coverage. It's not about leftism at all. Read a couple of Maryknoll magazines - they're very short. No where is politics mentioned. Only helping the poor and marginalized physically and spiritually.

There is a cause for the canonization of Father Price. It appears still to be in its earliest beginnings:
There is also a facebook group for the cause:

My diocese is full of ultraliberal Maryknoll's. In classes offered for spirituality, we may pray for the church to allow women priests and that anyone who wants can celebrate the mass. They need a true renewal. The founding was good. What has come from it is a group of synchratic worshippers that teach a foul stench with some truth. In classes offered for Scripture study we will here that Jesus really did not perform the miracles stated or they may have not been quite as grand as stated. They teach heresy after heresy. They teach New Age and other modern pagan thoughts. They are a problem. May God have mercy on them but clean them up in the mean time.

Born in St. Mary's County, Maryland in 1894, Dashiell Hammett published hard-boiled short stories and novelettes before writing his first novel, Red Harvest (1929), which TIME magazine called one of the top 100 novels written from 1923 to 2005. The Maltese Falcon introduced the character Sam Spade, Hammett's fictional detective, and both the book and its film became classics of the genre. Hammett also wrote The Glass Key (1931) and The Thin Man (1934),
and his life's work has led many readers to call him the world's finest detective-fiction writer.
Early Years
Dashiell Hammett was born in St. Mary's County, Maryland, on May 27, 1894, and went on to drop out of school around age 13. Growing up in Baltimore and Philadelphia, he worked a string of odd jobs to help support his family before joining the renowned Pinkerton Detective Agency in 1915, when he was 20. Hammett continued his detective work when he moved to San Francisco, California, before enlisting in the U.S. Army during World War I.
When Hammett returned from his tour of duty, the tuberculosis he had contracted in the Army had caused his health to be affected to the point that returning to his detective work was impossible. Hammett's ill health would remain with him for the rest of his life, but two good subplots would come out of it: He married a nurse he met through his tuberculosis treatment and later had two daughters with her, changing the course of his life and, in turn, the entire face of crime fiction.
The Writing Life
Dashiell Hammett was forced to quit the Pinkertons, and what he did next is the stuff of literary legend, so true to life that it seems fabricated. He turned his experience with the Pinkerton Agency into short detective stories, with his first being published in 1922 by the society magazine The Smart Set. His take on the detective story was new, though, and its gritty realism forced his writing to migrate to the pulp/crime publications of the time, including Black Mask, which published his story "Arson Plus" in 1923 (under the pseudonym Peter Collinson).
The stories (more than 80 in total over his life) featured detectives such as Sam Spade and the Continental Op, two characters that would go down as classics of the Hammett-created "hard-boiled" genre. His heroes are no-nonsense, hard-drinking men who move through life unencumbered by anything but their personal sense of morality and code of honor. Sam Spade was Hammett's central character after 1929, becoming the symbol of the American private eye, with special thanks to Humphrey Bogart and his portrayal of Spade in the 1941 filmed version of The Maltese Falcon (1941).
The Maltese Falcon was Hammett's second novel (and was hugely popular, going into seven printings its first year), and he only wrote four others: Red Harvest (1929), The Dain Curse (1929), The Glass Key (1931) and The Thin Man (1934; featuring the married, boozy sleuths Nick and Nora Charles).
By around 1930, Hammett's marriage had deteriorated, and he thusly moved to Hollywood to look for work writing for the movies, which never quite worked out.

Many prominent individuals suspected of sympathizing with liberal or humanitarian causes were branded a communist threat, and even accused of espionage. Hollywood was a major focus of the accusations, and after 10 actors refused to testify in front of the House Committee on Un-American Activities, the blacklist was created.

Oscar-Winning Portrayals
Truth is often more fascinating than fiction. Since the beginning of movies, actors have been portraying figures from history and bringing them to life on screen. Mastering the well-known mannerisms and characteristics of real world figures can be more challenging than portraying a fictional character. Enormous amounts of research and drastic physical transformations are not uncommon for actors wanting to properly inhabit their role on film. Whether playing a scheming Queen, a country singer, a temperamental boxer, or a pioneering writer, those performers who can accurately play the part often find Oscar gold as their reward. Here are the Academy Award-winning actors, and the larger-than-life people they portrayed.
