Habitat For Humanity International Names Barbara T. Alexander to Board of Directors
AMERICUS, Ga., Feb. 19, 2003 — Barbara T. Alexander, a senior advisor to UBS Warburg, has been elected to Habitat for Humanity International's Board of Directors. Alexander was chosen to become a part of the 31-member board, which oversees the organization's mission of building simple, decent housing in partnership with people in need throughout the world.
"After 30 years' work in various aspects of the housing industry, I am excited about the chance to participate as a member of the board of directors of Habitat for Humanity International to further that extraordinary organization's objectives of providing all families with safe, adequate, affordable homes," said Alexander.
Since completing a bachelor's and master's degree in mathematics at the University of Arkansas, Alexander has worked for more than 30 years in investment banking and as a housing analyst. She was the first woman to serve as a managing director of Salomon Brothers, where she founded and managed Construction and Furnishings Group in the Investment Banking Division. Alexander also has been affiliated with Dillon Read, Smith Barney, Investors Diversified Services Inc. and Wachovia Bank & Trust Company, N.A. During her years as a housing analyst, Alexander was consistently ranked by Institutional Investor magazine as the No.1 housing analyst in the United States.
Alexander's years of service with nonprofit groups includes working with the Joint Center for Housing Studies at Harvard University, Covenant House, HomeAid America and the New York Advisory Board of the Enterprise Foundation. For her achievements, Alexander has received the Distinguished Alumni Award from the University of Arkansas.
Members of the HFHI board receive no compensation for their voluntary service. Board members typically serve two terms with three years in each term period.

Line6 protest
I recently upgraded my computer to Vista x64 only to realize that I can no longer use my podXT with my computer. I didn\'t think twice of it until I discovered that Line6 don\'t supply drivers for x64 operating systems. I went through Line6\'s ENTIRE community to see if there was a link anywhere that I\'d missed, where the drivers could be. Needless to say I found nothing. I then searched the forums for people who had experienced the same problem as me. There were a couple of \'em. This was 6 months ago. Nothing has happened since, except for Line6 making a statement that they are looking into the POSSIBILITY of writing x64 drivers now. Which is RIDICULOUS. The aim of this petition is to get as many of us at the same place so I can forward this to newspapers, forums and whatnot. Sign up and we\'ll see what will happen. Write down a small comment about what product you own/ed, what OS you\'re using, when you bought it and where you\'re from. You can also write down a little comment to Line6 as I will be sending them the signatures when I\'ve received enough (which hopefully\'ll be in a month or so). Regards./ Johnny G

text: Meet Roshambo, A Winery Worth Tasting by partysugar 5/08/08 8 Reactions 0 Shares Print 0 0 0 0 0 It's hard for a young, new drinker — who knows nothing about it — to get into tasting wine. There are thousands of different types of wine and a special vocabulary to discuss it, not to mention how many wineries are pretentious, snobby, and rude to uninformed tasters. Luckily there are hip, fabulous wineries like Roshambo — my new favorite winery — that cater to this once overlooked demographic. Roshambo was founded on the "simple idea that serious wines became, well, a little too serious." Recently I had the chance to check out Roshambo's tasting room in Sonoma. To learn more about the wine, the tasting room, and their fun take on the stuffy industry, click the "Start" button. What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 While the grapevines used to make the wines are located on the southern edge of the Dry Creek Valley, the Roshambo tasting room is located at the Cornerstone Place in Sonoma. It was easy to find because the Roshambus was parked out front. Here, we arrive at the tasting room which has a large area for outdoor parties. 1 / 9 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The tasting room's look is a mix of eclectic pieces, pop art, and random objects like this garden gnome who greets tasters. 2 / 9 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 A giant rock, paper, scissors gong sits atop old school lockers in primary colors. Tasters can enjoy the interesting artwork while playing a game of Pac-Man. 3 / 9 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 A fake parrot sits in an oversized birdcage. The spit bucket is a man's face. A manual pencil sharpener ties in with the lockers. Scott, our pourer, gave us all rock, paper, scissors tattoos. 4 / 9 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Their 2006 Sauvignon Blanc — the obvious — is smooth, light, and refreshing. A perfect pour for long, warm days. 6 / 9 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The 2006 Syrah Rosé — imoan — is lush, dry, and deliciously bodied. Best served chilled, I love the girly, pink label of this bottle. 6 / 9 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The 2005 Drink Me 2 Late Harvest Zinfandel is a divine dessert wine. It's smooth not syrupy, and drips of luscious berry flavors. 7 / 9 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The 2006 Scissors was my favorite of all the Roshambo wines. A blend of Roussane, Marsanne, and Muscat grapes, this sublime white is incredibly drinkable and slightly complex. 8 / 9 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Besides the wonderful wines, hip atmosphere, and relaxed staff, the best thing about Roshambo is their message: fighting for fun in a winey world. I highly recommend you give their wines a try and if you're planning a trip to wine country anytime soon, be sure to check out the Roshambo tasting room.

3.9/5 rDev +3.4%
Reviewed from notes.
Pours out a coppery reddish amber color with two fingers of cream colored craggy head that lasts for about two minutes and leaves behind interesting patterns and swirls of lacing. Light crisp texture and assertively carbonated.
Smells of musty and earthy hopping but mostly of herbal tea-like hop spectrum over the top of toasted bread slices. The flavor has these elements but also includes pine and grapefruit pith at a medium-light level, and some light toasted nut flavors join the party as the glass warms up. Its a good interplay between the nuttiness, the toasted bread, and the somewhat higher than usual hopping for an amber (It easily crosses the line into typical PA hopping strength.) Check this one out if you like the notion of mostly herbal hopping on toasted bread malts as the central focus for a sessionable ABV beer.

Poured into a standard pint a rich clear amber/bronze with a two finger sticky slightly off white crown atop that never completely settles ,a thick frothy mass is left.Sharp piney hops come out well after the pour along with underlying biscuit malt,the hop aromas did fade quite a bit after the pour but after a good swirl they come out.Pretty dry on the palate except for a small amount of brown sugar flavor,the hops are not nearly as big as in the nose but they meld with the crisp dryer slightly roasted malt base.It's got some good things going on,it's not an overly complex or a "wowing" beer but it's not bad.

12 oz bottle. Pours dark reddish amber with a medium fluffy off-white head that retains well and laces the glass.
The aroma is sweet toasty caramel/crystal malts and resiny hops.
The flavor is sweet toasted caramel and crystal malts with an earthy bitterness in the finish. The mouthfeel is medium bodied and a bit watery.
Overall, it's OK and has some decent bitterness. I personally don't care for the biscuity malts or the hop flavors though.

12oz brown bottle with a freshness date.
LOOK: Clear, tawny, epic lacing
SMELL: Toasty, bread, hop resin, orange peel, caramel, dank herb
TASTE: Smooth, light creaminess, very bready, mild caramel, treacle, herbal hop, citrus rind, peppery, dried grass, toast, drying finish
A lovely sip, uh ... I mean quaff. No doubt one of the better fall seasonals out there, a must try IMO.

12oz bottle poured into a pint glass. Enjoyed at home.
A: Deep, rich clear, red color, bordering on a burnt color/brown. Thick, long-lasting, tan head with beautiful lacing. A beautiful-looking beer.
S: Sharp, hoppy aroma, balanced with some sweeter notes of citrus (grapefruit?) and sweet malts. Definite note of bready, toasty malts.
T: Far more pleasant and balanced than the nose suggested. Sharp and toasty up front, with the sweeter malt and citrus flavors blending in for a pleasant finish.
M: A bit thin, but generally unremarkable. Carbonation seems a bit high.
O: Solid brew - definitely lives up to the "hoptober" name. I wouldn't be knocking down doors to get this again, but I'd definitely drink it again.

Serving glass: Poured from bottle into Imperial Pint.
Appearance: Mahogany with light tan head that mostly dissipates, leaving light lacing behind.
Smell: Citrus, grapefruit, caramel and light chocolate. The Cascade is pretty evident.
Taste: Malt body of caramel, toffee, chocolate and even some light coffee. Definitely more roasted than expected. Nice hop counterbalance of orange and grapefruit. Finish has some light spice and pine notes, but is just slightly bitter. Slight Fat Tire taste, which is the only issue I have.
Feel: Moderate carbonation, medium body, mostly dry finish.
Overall: Nicely balanced ale that straddles the line between a Red Ale and a Black Ale. I like this a lot better than the previous standard Hoptober.

Poured from 12 oz. bottle into a New Belgium Globe glass. Best before date of 18-Nov-12.
Appearance: Pours a deep brownish amber red with a moderate amount of bubbles. A solid three fingers of off white head which fade into a thin patchy layer. Leaves a good amount of lacing on the glass.
Smell: Big hop aroma up front with grassy, earthy, and herbal hops. Strong scent of pine resin. A little bit of citrus hop with some orange peel, tangerine, and grapefruit hints. Strong malt presence with good hints of toasted caramel, biscuit, grains, toffee, toast,and a subtle hint of roast chocolate and coffee. A pretty piney a solid aroma.
Taste: A nice combination of hops and toasted caramel malts. Fresh earthy hops abound with lots of grass. Some herbal hops and a quite noticeable taste of spicy pine resin. Some citrus esters are also in the mix with some notes of orange, grapefruit, and tangerine. A nice bready sweetness follows from the malts. Notes of toasted caramel, toffee, toasted bread, grains, and biscuit. Also some roasty undertones with some mild notes of chocolate and coffee. Solid balance between bitterness and sweetness.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with a moderate amount of carbonation. Smooth, spicy, and somewhat chewy. Has a drying finish.
Overall: A pretty nice hopped up red ale. Ripe mix of hops with a good taste of caramel and subtle roast.

Reddish brown appearance, small head, beige, only 1/4" but the beer's carbonation was just fine, I happened to really like the color. Aroma, pretty mild, there's some malt huskiness to it, but nothing too aromatic, especially for having the name hoptober, the hop aroma was far from being forward.
The taste does yield more evidence of hops, but they are still playing second fiddle, but its done the right way. Immediately makes me think this is just as much winter warmer as it is an amber ale. Robust malt, but a carbonation and hop bitterness that doesn't bog down the palate into malt bomb territory. Sweet caramel leads. Definitely fits the bill as a beer for the fall and/or October.
Its actually probably best described as what you might get if you blended Fat Tire with Jubelale.

On tap at Fall for Greenville Fest.
Pours very clear, a dark red-amber color with a very good head.
Plenty of hop aroma. Both the nose and the flavor are fresh, fruity, and clean. Has a complex hop-based sensory array, with fruity, herbal and floral aspects. A hint of charred weed.
M: Crisp with medium body and carbonation. Clean finish.
Overall: a hoppy, aromatic red ale that is easy to drink.

I thought you guys might appreciate that your teams success may play a part of the decision making process in this season's draft. The following article was posted on the Cat Scratch Reader blog for the Panthers. I just wanted you to know that I have a deep appreciation for your franchise and how it is run. I admire the building through the draft mentality and spotting late round talents. I believe my Panthers do a pretty good job, other than that QB spot.
[I think we've all seen the NFL and the copy cat league it is known for. Clay Matthews has drawn a lot of credit for the Packers recent success, including their Super Bowl victory. His dominance was unmeasurable. Think about what the Packers gave up to get him in the 09' draft. An early 2nd rounder and 2 early 3rd round picks. At the time it was a lot to give up for a team that missed the playoffs. Now look at the payoff! Ted Thompson is hailed as a genius to foresee what Clay Jr. would become.
The Clay Matthews Effect- the belief that a pass rush LB can dominate a game from multiple spots on the field and have a direct effect on the overall outcome of the game.
How many teams right now are thinking that there are no franchise QB's in this draft? There could be a few. Now think about how many teams believe that if they just get that pass rusher they are set and ready for a playoff/Super Bowl run, look what it did for Green Bay. Think Clay Matthews, then consider that Von Miller is the most hyped/talented 3-4 rush LB in the draft. If the Bills are planning on taking Von Miller and some other teams behind them don't think there is a franchise QB in this draft, then a trade up scenario becomes a serious reality.
The following teams may be in the running for trading up to the #1...Bills, Cardinals, 49ers, Texans, Patriots, and the Chargers. The Patriots, Chargers, and Texans already have the franchise QB, and they also have the ammo to move up to the #1, they just need a Clay Matthews type player. The Bills and 49ers may think they can get to the playoffs with Ryan Fitzpatrick and Alex Smith, if they just had a dominating pass rusher on the opposite side of the ball.
Can you imagine the Patriots or Chargers with a dominating pass rusher?? Yikes! What about the Texans! These teams have the picks to get this deal done. I know, Belicheck doesn't trade down? Do you think he's tired of dominating the NFL without winning another Superbowl? Do you really think that he is just gonna keep playing the trade down game?
The only thing that these teams need is a dominant pass rusher, and you saw what the Clay Matthews Effect did for the Packers. I can just imagine the discussions between coaches, owners, and GM's right now, "if only we had a dominant pass rusher like Clay Matthews we could...", or in the Patriots and Chargers case, "if only we had taken Clay Matthews in the 09' draft...".
The Cardinals have a potentially dominating defensive line heading into next year with Dan Williams, Campbell and Dockett. What would their defense become if they get a Clay Matthews type pass rusher?
So why not trade up to the #2 with the Broncos? Well, the first reason would be that maybe they don't want to trade out of that spot. If you get the choice of taking Dareus or Peterson, and you already had a couple QB's on your roster, would you trade out of that pick? The other reason to trade up to the #1 is the very fact that many teams may try to target the #2 pick all the while another team may be planning on leap frogging it up to the #1. This forces even the Bills to have to investigate moving up, unless they are comfortable with taking their chances.
Call me crazy, but to me this scenario playing out is high on the probability list. Two things must happen for the Clay Matthews Effect to occur. First, a team must believe that Von Miller will be as dominating as Clay Matthews. Second, that team must believe that the Bills are ready to take him at the #3 spot.
For those of you Newton/Gabbert lovers...if the Panthers put it out there that they were going to take one of these fellas, and no one called about a trade,then maybe the Panthers believe they can get their "franchise QB" even if they trade back.
Also, if the Panthers are putting it out there that they are investigating Bowers, I would take that as they are looking at trading down to at least the #5. I would also say they are expecting to pickup a DE other than Bowers. With the Panthers recent history, pointed out by James (correct me if I'm wrong on the credit here), another DE is being targeted if they are dropping hints that they are interested in Bowers. Think Robert Quinn, Cam Jordan, Ryan Kerrigan, and Aldon Smith.
Hurney hinted that no one is calling, well what if that has changed and multiple teams are calling? If teams are sold on Von Miller being a superstar waiting to happen, then a bidding war may ensue if the Clay Matthews Effect takes hold.]

New Orleans, La - It is a far cry from what old public housing once looked like Uptown. " I like it, I like the sense of community the neighbors I have, the living conditions, and security," said River Gardens resident Steve Schwartz.
The old bricks are gone, and in their place, New Orleans style housing for a variety of mixed incomes. "The property is continuing to have success, we have over 700 units out here," said manager David Abbenante.
But under the surface, residents are angry. Nearly fifty residents, and non-residents marched through the streets of River Gardens, to complain about management, and it's policies.
Gilda Curtis told FOX 8, " I'm here because I was falsely accused and falsely evicted."
Housing Authority policy requires any resident with a criminal past to be evicted, but some residents say that policy has gone too far. "Any resident who's part of a low income family, they're being denied due process," said Ronald McCoy, with the group 'Safe Streets'.
But the policy denying any tenant who has a criminal past, is now being revisited.
And though protesters say management has been unfair, managers say final eviction decisions are not there's to make. Management insists the bottom line here is safety. They say judges make all eviction decisions, and they say their goal is to make sure murders, which were once commonplace, at the old St Thomas, are kept to a minimum.
Last year, there were zero murders in this 700 unit public housing complex.
Abbenante said, "About a year and a half ago, we put up 38 cameras, throughout the community. They've been a wonderful tool."
In spite of a more appealing landscape, and improvements in crime, it's clear that not everyone is enamored with River Garden policy, or those who carry it out.
Councilmember Latoya Cantrell is now involved saying, "I'm going to get an understanding of the issues, and work with the manager."
At this point, River Gardens management isn't looking to replace any managers.
However, it promises to take tenant input, as it revisits a policy strictly prohibiting anyone with a criminal background.

It's always interesting to see how different creatives design their own lives. For example, how fashion stylists dress or which art an artist hangs on their own wall. But, how amazing is it to see the homes that iconic architects designed for themselves?!
The Eames Home "Case Study House No. 8" (above) became the home and workplace of Charles Eames and his partner and wife Ray.
The Frank Gehry Home in Santa Monica, CA (above) was constructed in 1978. The Gehry Residence may appear a bit tired today, but it remains one of Gehry's more popular projects
Located in Brazil, the home above is "Casa Das Canoas" by Oscar Niemeyer. Originally built in 1953, this modern home remains a major participant in progressive design to this day.
If we could sneak in and furnish the living room of any of these three homes, this is what we imagine:
Possini Euro White Marble Base Arc Floor Lamp, Howard Miller Easton Wall Clock, Zuo Heywood Triple Natural Wood Bench, Zuo Fortress Collection Black Leather Sofa, Zuo Haxby Walnut and Glass Modern Coffee Table, Ikat Print Orange Throw Pillow, Small Glacier Glass White Vase, Smoke Velvet Square Pillow, Laine Wood and Faux Leather Dining Chairs
If you could design your own home, what would it look like? We'd love to help with your modern furniture and lighting!

Infused veneer is an amazing new collection of art wood panels from companies like B+ N Industries. There are hundreds of innovative and unique graphics that are infused on a variety of wood species, such as maple, cherry, and walnut. Each panel is 48" x 96" and is great for creating dramatic walls in restaurant or retail design, but can also be an amazing accent in your own home.
The "Shanghai" wood art above look amazing when mixed with bold red chairs and accessories. Try mixing this panel with a red chandelier and add drama into any space!
A classic "American flag" panels would work so well in many applications. Can't you just see these cladding the wall of your nearby Levi's store. Mix these panels with industrial lighting and you've got the feel of an old General Store.
We know that graffiti artist in you has always wanted to write on the walls, but we also know most of us don't have the skills that these artists do. If you want to add that modern urban edge into your space these graphic graffiti panels are the perfect way to do so. Mix the panels with modern black pendant lighting and the space is sure to be a show stopper.
The Antique Silhouette Collection in Old Frames is set off with a classic mid-century modern chaise and leather travel duffel in the image above. If you want to add a bit more glitz and glam into the space incorporate an elegant pendant light. The mixture of vintage and glam is a timeless look that could be perfect in a new intimate lounge.
I'm really looking forward to seeing more and more applications of the wood art panels. Do you want to really get your creative adrenaline flowing? Check out the entire collection of architectural panels right here!

Sidney based architecture firm Andrew Maynard Architects took this old Victorian home with tall surrounding walls and turned it into a super cool modern home. We approve.
Simple forms, minimal furnishing and mixed materials all work together to create the home's modern look. When your minimal furnishings include cool, modern accent chairs go ahead and consider yourself on-trend.
Cool appliances, simple modern lighting and dark colored furniture make this place stylish for both male and female inhabitants.

The end of summer doesn't mean the end of bold vibrant colors, especially when used in modern artwork! The stunning geometric artworks by Francesco Lo Castro can hold their own in any space.
For over a decade, Francesco Lo Castro has been South Florida's gateway to the national New Contemporary art scene, as both a respected artist and as a curator of exceptional art exhibitions. And it's pretty obvious why!
This piece titled Eulenspiege, 2012 is created with oil, acrylic, silkscreen, spray paint, layered epoxy resin and gold leaf on wood. It's these layers that have you staring for hours!
Choosing just one piece of LoCastro's work would be a challenge! I'm imagining these prints not just as artwork, but on modern decorative pillows, throws, and even bold geometric rugs. Keep your home bright and alive this winter by incorporating bold modern decor. And if you get your hands on a piece of LoCastro's work...I salute you!

Walking through the historic Schindler House in West Hollywood this past Sunday, I discovered something amazing about recessed lighting: namely that something so hidden could look so amazing.
First a little history lesson: Austrian born R.M. Schindler worked under Frank Lloyd Wright and in 1920 was sent to Los Angeles to oversee the construction of Wright's Hollyhock house. In 1922 Schindler set up his own practice with the construction of his Kings Road House in West Hollywood.
Fast forward nearly one century to this past Sunday, and I found myself strolling through the nearly empty rooms of the house (now managed by the MAK Center, "a think tank art, architecture, urbanism, design, and international discourse") listening to the sound of reel-to-reel tape recordings in a sound art performance curated and produced by the Society for the Activation of Social Space through Art and Sound (SASSAS). The layered, eerie tape recordings were mesmerizing. But so was the space itself.
What struck me most was how the furniture-less rooms hardly seemed empty. There wasn't excessive ornamentation in the rooms (Schindler's work is philosophically absolutely opposed to that), yet there was an extraordinary sense of depth. Materials like wood and cement mixed beautifully in the rooms. Daylight didn't stream in per se; in fact, the space was designed such that it feels like daylight is allowed to enter by permission only.
Looking about, I noticed that, aside from two pendant lights in the main room, visible light sources were conspicuously absent. Instead, the entire home was lit tastefully by recessed lighting, giving it a dramatic, staged look. Subtle architectural details took on a new life under these tucked away lights.
LR6 12 Watt LED 6" Recessed Light Module
Sometimes the beauty of an object lies in what you don't see, as is the case with the Schindler House's lighting design. Modern energy efficient recessed lights stow away nicely, and an LED fixture (pictured above) in particular will produce relatively little heat. For a warmer, spotlight style like I found in much of the Schindler House, you might want to consider a halogen light (pictured below).
Juno 4" Low Voltage Flush Gimbal Recessed Light Trim
Some recessed lighting fixtures are adjustable as in the above, allowing you to swivel or tilt the light, and some are fixed...and as I recently learned, in the right space, they can all be stunning.
Don't believe me? Check out the MAK Center website for upcoming events at the house. You won't be disappointed.

With several "home improvement" projects on my list, I was frustrated by the number of contractors who wouldn't even call me back. Matt called me back the same day, and even stopped by my house on his way out to dinner to take a look at my job. He was courteous, asked the right questions, and developed creative solutions to both my driveway apron and my patio to greatly improve on the concrete we were replacing.
MD Concrete started the job when they said they would, and completed it two days later. They even added a curve to my patio, making it much more inviting. I am delighted by the quality of their service and work.

Support for The Future of Cycling in BC
Cycling BC is the provincial governing body for the sport of cycling. Its mission is to "Foster quality competition from the grass roots through to high performance levels, and encourage partnerships to grow participation in the sport of cycling." Many in the cycling community believe that Cycling BC is not fulfilling this mandate, and its principal function has become to serve as a sports administrator, solely responsible for enforcing policy, rules, and regulations. A group of like-minded individuals, with a passion to see cycling grow and succeed in this province, has been organised to help return Cycling BC to its mission statement, and become an organization that prides itself on building the sport from the grassroots, fostering growth, supporting clubs, and being an active leader at all levels. My name below indicates my support for constructive change at Cycling BC:

Didi Gregorius hit his second major league home run and singled to start a two-run rally in the ninth inning that led the Arizona Diamondbacks over Colorado 5-4 Sunday and stopped the Rockies' eight-game winning streak.
Gregorius, who homered Thursday at Yankee Stadium on the first pitch he saw with the Diamondbacks, started a comeback from a 3-0 deficit when he homered against Juan Nicasio leading off the fifth.
Colorado led 4-3 when Gregorius singled leading off the ninth against Wilton Lopez (0-1). A.J. Pollock doubled over third baseman Jonathan Herrera and pinch-hitter Alfredo Marte grounded out to third, driving in the tying run. Gerardo Parra followed with a sacrifice fly to deep center.
Heath Bell (2-0) pitched a scoreless eighth. Colorado put runners at the corners in the ninth before J.J. Putz got Eric Young Jr. to hit a game-ending comebacker for his third save in five chances. Arizona improved to 6-0 in getaway games this year.

Microsoft moved to reassure business and government customers worldwide that it is committed to informing them of legal orders related to their data, and will fight in court any "gag order" that prevents it from sharing such information with customers.
The company also plans to encrypt customers' information moving between its data centers, with plans to complete the project by the end of 2014.

The Redmond, Wash., software and Internet services company is responding to concerns in the U.S. and other countries about government surveillance, particularly after revelations by former U.S. National Security Agency contractor, Edward Snowden, that the agency is engaged in dragnet surveillance of email, phone records, and mobile location data of people in the U.S and abroad.
The NSA also taps into communications links between Google and Yahoo's data centers worldwide, according to a report. Both Google and Yahoo have announced that they are strengthening encryption on their services. Yahoo said last month it will encrypt all information that moves between its data centers by the end of the first quarter of next year. It announced earlier that it would roll out SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption with a 2048-bit key across its network by Jan. 8.
In a blog post late Wednesday, Brad Smith, Microsoft's general counsel and executive vice president of legal and corporate affairs, wrote that the company shared customers' concerns about government surveillance of the Internet. "That's why we are taking steps to ensure governments use legal process rather than technological brute force to access customer data," he added.
Microsoft plans to take new steps to reinforce legal protections for its customers' data, including committing to notifying business and government customers if it receives legal orders related to their data.
"Where a gag order attempts to prohibit us from doing this, we will challenge it in court," Smith wrote. "We've done this successfully in the past, and we will continue to do so in the future to preserve our ability to alert customers when governments seek to obtain their data."
Microsoft said that except in the most limited circumstances, government agencies could approach business and government customers directly for information or data about one of their employees, just as they did before customers moved to the cloud. "And when those limited circumstances arise, courts should have the opportunity to review the question and issue a decision," it added.

ANTIOCH, Tenn. – A third Islamic center is looking to move to middle Tennessee, and again, plans are met with opposition from future neighbors.
A new mosque could move into the vacant Carmike Theater on Bell Forge Lane in Antioch, but there's a petition led by school board member Karen Johnson to stop it.
Gary Middleton, who lives in Antioch, said, "It's another example of more terrorist coming close to home, and we don't need that… It's just another mosque, training kids to be terrorists."
Opponents of the mosque have launched an online petition.
Chris Cunningham said, "I don't want to be racist against Muslims or anything. I just think right now with all the problems out here in Hickory Hollow… maybe a mosque needs to find another location."
This is the third time middle Tennessee residents have opposed a Muslim mosque this year.
In Williamson County, the Islamic Center withdrew their proposal after public opposition earlier this year.
In Murfreesboro, plans for a new mosque that were approved in May have been scaled back.
The Daily News Journal reports it pulled its application for a conditional use permit, which would have established a cemetery on its property.
The Rutherford County planning commission says the center can re-apply for the permit in the future.
Some Antioch residents don't mind Muslims worshiping where they once watched movies.
Darrick Ransom said, "The have their religious freedom just like everyone else."
Ryan Lee said, "I don't have a problem with it. I don't see anything wrong with it. I don't disapprove anybody's religion."
On their Web site, Islamic Center of Tennessee expresses the need for a new center.
The Muslim population in middle Tennessee has tripled over the past twelve years.
Current mosques are full during Friday prayer, and they especially need a place big enough to hold youth events.
The Carmike Theatre will accommodate the Islamic center's plans for expansion and they are set to close on the property in early August.
The Islamic Center of Tennessee has already raised a little more than a $1 million.
Their goal is $1.5 million, which is the purchase price of the building.
The Islamic Center will be holding a fundraiser at the location on July 11 at 9 a.m.

Diatomaceous Earth near Soos / CZ

Diatomaceous Earth near Soos / CZ
The World > Europe > Czech Republic
Soos is a famous nature reserve in the western Czech Republic, mineral springs and numerous so called mofettes, carbon dioxide gas emissions to the surface due to the through volcanism and tectonic shifts in the underground .
The emerging over thousands of mineral waters left a thick layer of salts and minerals, for most plants and animals not habitable, so that this sets a very special fauna and flora. The mineralization of the water promotes the growth of diatoms. their remains in the form of diatomaceous earth deposits are powerful.
The reserve is developed with an interesting trail up on a boardwalk and really worth a visit!

The Czech Republic is a cool little landlocked country south of Germany and Poland, with a national addiction to pork and beer. Potatos, cabbage, and dumplings are close behind them, and they also have this great bar food called "utopenec." It means "a drowned man," it's pickled sausage with onions, perfect with some dark wheat bread and beer. The Czech bread is legendary, like a meal all by itself.
Czechoslovakia first became a sovereign state in 1918 when it declared independence from the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The state of Czechoslovakia lasted until the "Velvet Divorce" of 1993, which created Slovakia and the Czech Republic.
It was occupied by Germany in WWII but escaped major damage, unlike most other European cities. The nation's capital, Prague, retains some of Europe's most beautiful Baroque architecture as well as one of the largest medieval castle complexes still standing. The President of the Czech Republic has his offices in the Prague Castle even today.
There was a coup d'etat in 1948 and Czechoslovakia fell under Soviet rule. For fifty years Czechoslovakia was a Socialist state under the USSR, subject to censorship, forced atheism and even the arrest of jazz musicians!
In 1989, communist police violently squashed a pro-democracy demonstration and pissed everybody off so bad that a revolution erupted over it, finally ending the Communist rule.
The next twenty years saw rapid economic growth and westernization. Today in Prague you can eat at McDonald's or KFC, shop for snowboarding boots and go see a punk rock show.
The Czech Republic took over the presidency of the European Union in January 2009. This instantly created lots of political drama because the President of the Czech Republic, Vaclav Klaus, is a renowned Euroskeptic.
We anxiously await the outcome of "President Klaus vs. the Lisbon Treaty", a world heavywieght fight sceduled for spring 2009.

On Monday, August 5, 2013 my world stopped. My heart skipped a beat. All of my dreams came true.
I'm beyond excited to announce that…
Not in the traditional sense, but through adoption. Days after taking yet another disappointing test, I received a call at work from a long time acquaintance. She was pregnant and had thought long and hard about the decision; she wanted us to adopt her baby.
Without a doubt in my heart, or a question in my mind, I said yes. Then I cried. And cried. And thanked God for a blessing in the making.
Our little "tater" was safe and sound in her birth mother's womb, the lone survivor of triplets. The other babies were miscarried very early and our little miracle stayed strong. [Read more...]

comment on a post Obama : $500 for single , $1000 for family tax cut, billions more for business = Krugman unhappy over 5 years ago
My concern is where all this money is coming from. We are already in debt to China up to our eyeballs, and it has reached the point where the return on a stimulus such as this does not outweigh the further debt. What will be done with the rebate? People will just spend more money buying crap from China. Maybe the tax money should be in the form of lowering the price of materials and goods made in the US so that the money stays here, or something creative. Plenty of deserving lower income people or middle class people got the last one, and it was of no real help despite what the Wall Street Journal and other "experts" say.
Hate will make your heart rot.
Why yes, a play on words I had a chance to grab. The discussion was of the O Base who I consider to be the part of the netroots who are losing their minds that Clintonites are being employed in the administration.

Those purity types who can't for the life of them understand that Clintonites are the ones with the experience and have as much right to be part of the process as any, I find revolting, and I always have.

I rarely come to this website anymore, and the comments in this diary are why. There is nothing wrong with this diary, other than it contains other than the mantra allowed. The level of ideas allowed here are narrower than ever. It is a shame that people can't just read something they disagree with and move on. At least it is exposure to something other than the regular preapproved rant.

on a comment on The New Cabinet Should Be 50% Women over 5 years ago
Of course women would not be appointed who do not share the values of the party, but there is no shortage of women who are qualified in the Democratic party. There are many, and there is an obligation in government to reflect the society which is being represented. Perhaps if you are male, you would not understand the tiresome situation to say the least, of not being represented by other women year after year, decade after decade. The tokenism is in saying well there are women in govt, and then appointing just enough to justify that statement and to shut women and others up. I am no longer willing to accept the excuse that it would be affirmative action and for that reason would be inappropriate. Concerted efforts to represent members of society proportionately is the only thing that has allowed advancement for anyone but white males in any number over the last 50 years. Disgarding equality out of fear of tokenism is just an excuse to avoid reality and responsibility to do what is right.
The Democratic party has in fact installed affirmation action and quotas within the delegate system so that all people are represented at the conventions. Compare what our conventions look like to the Republican conventions and it becomes apparent what forced quotas can do for society. We are obviously not to the point where equality is spontaneous in society.
on a comment on The New Cabinet Should Be 50% Women over 5 years ago
Did you mean to say Edwards? The thing is that I have been watching CNN and they have spent considerable time naming the positions and the names being floated, and position after position are males. Once in a while the names you mention are mentioned, but I am not that sure any of them are serious. Women are over half of this population and a huge part of Obama's election, and we are not just talking about fairness in appointing some, we are talking about his obligation to. There is no way that there is a shortage of smart, capable women who have everyright to be a part of the govt. I am getting desperately tired of looking at men in government, and there are many many like me.
comment on a post The New Cabinet Should Be 50% Women over 5 years ago
I agree. Clinton made a real effort to have his cabinet and administration "look like America". Even Bush appointed a lot of women. I have been keeping an eye on Obama's choices, and potential choices being floated. There are barely any but white men being mentioned. It is very disappointing, and I intend to be loud and demanding if things continue this way through the term. It looks ready to take a backward turn.

I love seeing Republicans wriggle and writhe on the floor from pain. In your case, this is just the way you express your irrelevancy going forward. Hillary Clinton dwarfs you in every way possible as a human being and superior intellect. Keep suffering. I like it.

I think it would be more effective for the public to see the reality of the GOP's failures and the real culprits, rather than focus on one person as being what brought it down. Shine a light on the reality of the failures of the party, the fact that McCain was all the party had to offer, and he is responsible for his own demise. We can't stop the civil war, it's already started to drive them apart, but they should be made to take responsibility full on and not weasel their way out of it by destroying a person who they used to begin with. The public shouldn't be made to ignore the reality and the pathetic failure that is the republican message, with attention diverted to some stupid shallow story based on fabricated information. The real story is very involved and runs deep. It's about time they had to own up to it in public.
