Rinnie retreats into her castle to write several articles about how Fanfiction Readers are dead and then calls them big poopy babies on twitter. #ReaderGate
Hey, so ANNOUNCEMENT TIME! Blaster Nation will be dropping down to two updates a week (Wednesday and Friday) throughout this month, possibly up to October so that Leslie can have time to:
I know that's probably a bummer for some of you guys but man, seriously, we got some work ahead of us. Mostly Leslie. The problem with being just a writer is that I can get my work done really quick in advance, while art takes time and effort. Writing, I can just poop out. Poop. Finished script, it's done. I'm pretty far along in both Rock Cocks and Blaster Nation scripts, so I'm mostly just doing flat-colors for Leslie.
So here's all the video games I've been playing in-between flat-coloring:
Akiba's Trip: I love how seriously the game treats its premise. Often the best way to do a joke is to play it completely straight. The writing is great, character designs are cute, but there's a fuckload of loading times and it doesn't play quite as smooth as I was hoping it would. At the very least, it's not a purchase I absolutely regret. Would be fun to stream, too.
Lethal League: THE HYPEST GODDAMN THING ON STEAM RIGHT NOW, GO FUCKING BUY THAT SHIT. I've been interested in it ever since I witnessed it dominate the UFGT9 Mystery Game Tournament grand finals, and boy, has it come a long way. The premise is simple: basically extreme dodgeball, but with a baseball, bats, and the ability to break the sound barrier. It's intense, it's simple, it's ridiculously fun, and the music is fucking great. If you liked Divekick, you'll love the SHIT out of this.
I've also been getting into Payday 2 again since a generous dude gifted it to me on Steam. I played a bit when it was free on PSN+. God damn, it's so much better on PC.
That's all for today! See you on Wednesday!

Man claims town ignores park
WESTWOOD — A Sand Road resident accused the council of neglecting a park on the edge of town because it's located in a "predominantly black" area, drawing a protest from the mayor.
Haydn Smith spoke Tuesday night at the council's public session, saying that Hegeman Park "has been an eyesore for years" while other borough parks, such as Westvale Park, have "been renovated in the last 20 years."
A chain link fence at Hegeman Park — located where Westwood's east border meets River Vale and Emerson — was in disrepair on Wednesday.
Smith stood before the council Tuesday and said the park had not been kept up "because it is in an area of Westwood that was predominantly black, but the culture has changed."
Mayor John Birkner Jr. cut Smith off.
"I am offended by your comment, sir," Birkner said.
"Well, I am offended by way the governing body has treated that park," Smith fired back before returning to his seat. The matter was not discussed further.
On Wednesday, Birkner said Smith's complaint was the first he has heard about the park.
"He was basically saying that we neglect that part of town because of the racial population, and nothing could be further from the truth," Birkner said.
"We converted a garbage dump into a $3 million recreation complex, so for him to say that was offensive," added Birkner, referring to the renovations to Westvale Park that were completed in 2011. The two parks are around the corner from each other and are connected by a path.
Borough records show that Smith aired a similar complaint about Hegeman Park in 2006. He said then that the park was the site of various acts of vandalism, and he asked the council to refurbish it.
Smith was part of a contingent of residents at the meeting that petitioned the council for additional traffic-calming measures along streets in the same area.
In 2010, the council approved the installation of "speed tables" on Sand Road, which is used as a cut-through for motorists bound for Emerson and River Vale.
Jennifer Deppert of Westwood Boulevard said traffic through the area has increased in recent years, and will only get worse when the HackensackUMC at Pascack Valley reopens in the spring.
"No one pays attention to stop signs or speed limits," Deppert said, adding that the speed bumps installed in 2010 are not high enough to slow speeding cars.
Birkner said the council would likely consider the matter at a future meeting before taking any action.

"This card is perfect if you have a super cute or sweet photo of babies, children, or pets. I used a closeup shot of my client's adorable bulldog puppy! The card was a big hit! I chose a semi gloss finish to give it an extra pop. I paid extra to print a return address on the envelopes to save time. My only suggestion when ordering would be to check the box for designer review. That takes a couple days to get it back so you can look at it before it is printed. I was in a hurry and opted to go straight to print but I was a little disappointed when the cards arrived. The photo was a little too dark. I am a photograher and had a quality image with good lighting but when it was printed it cane out darker than I expected. I've never had that problem before. I always choose tiny prints because the quality of paper and designs are simply the best!"
"Everyone loved this Christmas card! We used a close up shot of our children which fit within the frame perfectly. The kids really look beautiful within this magical card."
"Simplistic, Country Charm. Final product was exactly as designed with good selection of text and photo filters and tools."
"This was a great Christmas Card because it allowed me to put a large family picture without any borders and of course Merry Christmas on the bottom. The back of the card was also beautifully decorated as well."
"Card turned out even better than I anticipated. Graphic design & scale perfect for my photograph. Paper quality of the card and envelope exceptional. Excellent customer service - thank you Brian! Quick turnaround. Very pleased."

Google Pulls Access To Unsupported But Popular Weather API
Unknown Lamer posted about 2 years ago | from the we-did-it-because-we-love-you dept.168
New submitter drsmack1 writes with news of some bummed out programmers losing access to an undocumented Google API. From the article: "The curious popularity of the Google Weather API appears to be coming to a close. The search giant never officially supported the feature, but developers have used the unofficial feed available from the iGoogle homepage. With iGoogle now set for deprecation in November, developers are reporting that the once simple weather API is no longer returning data." Seems like the sort of thing you could replace with a tiny bit of XSLT.

Atlantic Sun softball boasts fourth best non-conference record nationally
For the second straight season, Atlantic Sun softball has improved its non-conference record and thanks to stellar play throughout the league, the conference owns the fourth-best non-conference win percentage among all Division I conferences.
"I tell people all the time how tough our conference is," said JU head coach Amanda Lehotak. "Whoever wins our conference tournament each year is more than ready to compete against the top teams at the NCAA Tournament and our success against non-conference teams this season proves that fact. I hope this starts bringing the respect the A-Sun deserves."
Four Atlantic Sun member institutions have posted win percentages of at least .700, led by FGCU's 30-4 mark. The Eagles own three victories against ranked competition and have become a mainstay in the Ultimate College Softball poll, ranking inside the top 25.
The two other schools to tie with FGCU for the 2008 regular-season title, USC Upstate and Lipscomb have carried its success into 2009. The Spartans own a 14-4 mark outside of the league and the Bisons have won 19 of their 25 non-league games.
ETSU has enjoyed its strongest non-conference season in four years in the conference, winning 15 of 21 and defending A-Sun Conference Champion, Campbell, owns a 14-8 record, on the heels of posting a 33-12 non-conference mark. Mercer, after a 3-5 start has won 18 of its last 23 games, putting together is best non-conference season in 20 seasons. Eight of the A-Sun's 11 schools own winning non-conference records and JU has split its 30 games. The two under .500, Belmont and Kennesaw State are only a combined six games under .500.
Only the SEC, the Pacific 10 and Big 12 have higher composite win percentages than the A-Sun's .642. The ACC ranks just behind the A-Sun as the fifth conference to boast at least a .600 win percentage. The Big Ten ranks sixth with the Ohio Valley in seventh. The Big East, the last of the six "BCS" Conferences currently sits in eighth. The top ten concludes with the Big West and the America East Conference.
The Atlantic Sun Conference is an 11-member league committed to Building Winners for Life. The A-Sun stands for achievement with integrity in both the academic and athletic arenas, with a focus on the balance between the two for our student-athletes. Headquartered in Macon, Ga., the A-Sun boasts six of the top eight media markets in the Southeast. The A-Sun includes a blend of the most prestigious and dynamic private and public institutions in the region: Belmont University, Campbell University, East Tennessee State University, Florida Gulf Coast University, Jacksonville University, Kennesaw State University, Lipscomb University, Mercer University, University of North Florida, University of South Carolina Upstate and Stetson University.

The Realist Prism: A G-Zero Washington for a G-Zero World
What a difference between Election Day 2012 and today. In the immediate aftermath of his electoral victory, U.S. President Barack Obama seemed poised to start his second term of office with renewed energy and confidence. However, the euphoria of the president's supporters has slowly but steadily eroded.
Despite his hopes that, with the election over, he could tackle the fiscal crisis that was looming over the country, Obama was unable to negotiate any lasting solution. Several months ago, I predicted that "Congress and the president may find some creative ways to postpone the scheduled sequestration" but that there would be no "grand compromise to put America's fiscal house in order." True to form, Congress passed and the president signed into law the "American Taxpayer Relief Act," which kept intact most of the tax cuts passed at the beginning of former President George W. Bush's first term, delayed the imposition of the sequester for two months and extended spending on matters such as unemployment insurance. With no spending cuts, and with only a fraction of the revenue that was anticipated had the Bush-era tax cuts expired, the deal is projected to add to the deficit and does nothing to address the growing imbalance between the revenues taken in by the federal government and its expenditures. ...

After five months and one week, my mare has come out the other side of RDC. Whew - what a nightmare! She's stopped pinning her ears and kicking out when I touch her abdomen in front of her hips. Stopped feeling like WWIII going on in there.
I've started feeding her a bit of hay 4x/day, about 1/8 flake strewn about her stall so she doesn't gobble it up at once. For those of you who've been through RDC with a horse, how fast did you start giving them regular amounts of hay flakes again? And grazing - when is it okay to let her graze for longer? I only let her graze the past 5+ months once or twice a day for 15-30mins. I am terrified to give her too much too soon, but she also has ulcers and would do better on grazing or constant hay in a slow-feed net.
How will I know if she is one of those few who can't tolerate long-stem hay from now on?

By JIM LAHDE
If youĺre looking for a local connection to mid-Michigan during the 2014 Winter Olympics youĺre in luck.
Jilleanne Rookard, who hails from Woodhaven, has some local ties to the middle of the mitten as her brother Steve and his wife Julie Rookard are Mt. Pleasant residents.
Jilleanne Rookard will compete in the womenĺs 3,000m and 1,500m speed skating events as well as the team pursuit event for the United States in the coming weeks after locking up an Olympic spot in late December at the US Speed Skating trials in Kearns, Utah.
In the trials she won the 3,000m by over four seconds to lock up a spot on the US Olympic Team. Rookard competed in the 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver and finished eighth in the 5,000m (7:07.48) and 12th in the 3,000m (4:13.05).
This year her and her family are hoping for better results as in medal-results.
Initially Steve and Julie Rookard planned on attending the 2014 Winter Olympics but ran into problems booking a room. Media reports from Sochi on Wednesday spoke to this as rooms were still being finished and many still had no heating, lighting or hot water. Additionally there have been unprecedented threats to athletes and the games themselves from terrorist organizations.
The games run from Feb. 7 through Feb. 23.
Because of all this Steve and Julie Rookard will be watching from afar with both optimism and concern.
ôShe ended up going on her own,ö said Julie Rookard, whose daughers Lauren and Isabel will definitely be rooting for aunt Jilleanne. ôMy husband and I were ready to go but we couldnĺt find a hotel room so we will follow her on social media.ö
Jilleanne Rookardĺs path to the Sochi Games is an interesting one indeed in that she started roller skating at the age of six and didnĺt start speed skating until she was in her early-20s in 2006.
Her parents, William and Claire, owned Skateland Fun Zone Skating Rink in Woodhaven when she was growing up and later bought Spinning Wheels in Mt. Pleasant. The family also owns a cottage in Farwell, thus the Rookardĺs have numerous ties in the area.
In terms of where Jilleanne has her best chance of earning a medal itĺs probably in the 3,000m.
ôWeĺre hoping she brings home a medal,ö said Julie Rookard. ôWhen she comes home we will plan something and let out a sigh of relief.ö
Her coach is former Olympic medalist Peter Mueller, who coached Bonnie Blair to two gold medals in the 1992 Olympics and Dan Jansen to gold in the 1994 game
You can follow Jilleanne Rookard on Twitter: @USSpeedskating and @jmrookard
Her schedule is as follows.
Feb. 9 ľ Womenĺs 3,000m ľ 6:30 a.m.
Feb. 16 ľ Womenĺs 1,500m ľ 9 a.m.
Feb. 21 ľ Team Pursuit Quarterfinals ľ 9:19 a.m.
Feb. 22 ľ Team Pursuit Semifinals ľ 8:30 a.m.
Feb. 23 ľ Team Pursuit Finals - 9:12 a.m.

Date of Birth
June 30, 1985
Place of Birth
Just like they have been doing for the last couple of years, a WWE 2K14 challenge was held during Wrestlemania 30 week, where various wrestlers participate in a tournament to see who is the best at the video game. This year, Xavier Woods, an avid video game player, won the entire thing. His prize was a championship belt and a Playstation 4.

October 29, 2013
Reports are surfacing that WWE will be throwing a last minute fatal four way match together at Summerslam 2014, where Cody Rhodes, Goldust, Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso, Luke Harper, Erick Rowan, Curtis Axel and Ryback will all be vying for the tag titles. Management does not view this division to be a priority at this time, even though fan interest has grown.
August 7, 2014
In a match that was slightly held in higher regards than a filler match, Goldust and Cody Rhodes, who worked under his Stardust gimmick again, defeated Curtis Axel, who was sporting a ridiculous looking singlet, and Ryback. The match was designed to highlight the Stardust character. Since there was a little bit of action after the match, there is a chance that WWE could be continuing this feud.
June 29, 2014
Despite creating a buzz online with fans, Cody Rhodes had his Stardust character omitted by WWE during the company's broadcast of Monday Night Raw on Hulu. Every week, management decides which segments are important enough to include on that version of their television show. Rumors have it that WWE does not deem Rhodes and Goldust as a high priority at the moment.
June 17, 2014
"It actually came from a joke. Cody Rhodes likes to tell a story that when he was a little kid he used to watch me wrestle. I'm slightly older than Cody, we're talking three years or something like that, but in his head I'm a really old man. I once walked into the locker room and he was telling the entire locker room that when he was a kid he was watching me wrestling as this character he made up named 'Bad News Barrett' who goes around giving out bad news to people. So we all laughed about it and forgot about it. Then I was invited on the JBL and Cole show and they said they wanted to use me on the show and asked if I had any ideas of what to do. So I said you know what, let's just do Bad News Barrett. I'll just turn up and give people bad news and then disappear. I got a really good response online and fans were loving the catch phrase 'I'm afraid I've got some bad news' and Vince McMahon saw it and thought it was the funniest thing he had ever seen. Next thing you know I'm on TV doing it." - Wade Barrett explaining how his new gimmick in WWE came ot be
June 16, 2014
Rumors are running rampant right now that Ted DiBiase will be making his return to WWE tonight, as Goldust has been posting several interesting updates on Twitter. He and DiBiase even had a direct interaction, where they asked one another if they would be at Monday Night Raw tonight. WWE is running a story line where Cody Rhodes has been choosing tag team partners for his older brother.
June 9, 2014
In a match designed by WWE to accelerate the split between the brothers, Curtis Axel and Ryback defeated Cody Rhodes and Goldust in the second match of Payback 2014. Ryback picked up the pin fall victory for his team after delivering the Shell Shock to Rhodes. Afterwards, Rhodes told Goldust that he needs to find a better tag team partner for himself.
June 1, 2014
Another match being penciled in for Extreme Rules 2014 is Cody Rhodes vs Goldust. WWE has been planting the seeds of dissension between the real life brothers, and you can expect the story line to heat up over the next couple of weeks, leading to a pay per view match. Depending on how well the fans react to the feud, Goldust could be leaving WWE shortly afterwards.
May 11, 2014
When Cody Rhodes and Goldust finally split up in the story line, it appears that the younger brother will be the one doing the heel turn. WWE has been testing out the audience reaction by having Rhodes walk out on Goldust during tag team matches. The belief is that fans would be more sympathetic towards Goldust because of the nostalgia factor.
May 3, 2014
For the last several weeks, there have been rumors floating around that Goldust was going to be leaving WWE in the near future, and the belief now is that he will be making his departure after working a feud against his brother Cody Rhodes. Seeds of dissension between the two have been planted by the writers over the last couple weeks of Monday Night Raw.
May 1, 2014
Despite being given a new story line where he more than likely will be splitting from his brother Goldust and possibly feuding with him, Cody Rhodes remains very low on the priority list backstage in WWE right now. The highly talented performer has not been utilized in a high profile position for quite a few months. Speculation of backstage heat still persists.
April 29, 2014
While it has yet to be officially confirmed, you can expect to see Curtis Axel and Ryback challenging Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso for the WWE tag team championship at Extreme Rules 2014. The seeds for the match was placed when the former Paul Heyman duo attacked the Usos after they defeated Cody Rhodes and Goldust on Monday Night Raw last week.
April 25, 2014
A video of how Brandi Rhodes, the wife of Cody Rhodes, spent her Easter. WWE has been trying to promote the developmental diva, who appears briefly in her underwear, through their website over the last several weeks.
April 24, 2014
Despite working a segment that is building towards a feud for the tag team championship, Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso were removed from the Hulu version of Monday Night Raw this week. The brother tandem defeated Cody Rhodes and Goldust before setting up their program with Curtis Axel and Ryback. WWE still intends to continue the story line.
April 23, 2014
Rumors have sparked about Cody Rhodes and Goldust doing a heel turn soon. However, that is just pure speculation at this point, as a lot of people are under the belief that WWE was testing things out at the live event in Saudi Arabia earlier this week. The brothers worked a match against Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso, but it was simply a matter of filling out the card.
April 22, 2014
In an interesting move, WWE had Dean Ambrose defend the United States Heavyweight Championship at a live event in Saudi Arabia this week. He successfully retained the belt in a fatal four way that consisted of Cody Rhodes, Kofi Kingston and Dolph Ziggler. Ambrose has rarely been allowed to defend the US title over the last couple of months.
April 18, 2014
"Why are folks surprised by Nancy Grace? She got dumped by a professional wrestler in the 1980s and started a life quest to be just awful. If she was remotely confident in her accusations, she would interview an active talent. Yet, she won't do that because she'd have a Mark Cuban and Skip Bayless situation, and she would come off as the ignorant sweat hog she actually is." - Cody Rhodes bashes Nancy Grace for attacking the wrestling business
April 10, 2014
In a sign that they are still in the dog house with management, Cody Rhodes and Goldust were removed from the Hulu version of Monday Night Raw this week. Their match against Damien Sandow and Fandango, two guys who normally do not team up together, was considered a throwaway segment and not deemed important enough for rebroadcast.
April 1, 2014
WWE has announced that the Andre the Giant memorial battle royal will consists of Alberto Del Rio, Big E Langston, Big Show, Brodus Clay, Christian, Cody Rhodes, Damien Sandow, Darren Young, Dolph Ziggler, Drew McIntyre, Fandango, Goldust, Great Khali, Heath Slater, Jinder Mahal, Justin Gabriel, Kofi Kingston, Mark Henry, Miz, R Truth, Rey Mysterio, Santino Marella, Sheamus, Sin Cara, Titus ONeil and Zack Ryder. There are also four spots available for last minute entrants.
March 25, 2014
On Monday Night Raw this week, Goldust and Fandango worked a singles match, where Cody Rhodes and Summer Rae were both at ringside. An accident took place in the ring, and Goldust ended up being busted open and needing a couple of stitches to close. The veteran WWE star was quite frustrated backstage about the incident.
March 21, 2014
After much speculations about their role at Wrestlemania 30, Cody Rhodes and Goldust have now been confirmed as participants for the Andre the Giant memorial battle royal. There were talks backstage in WWE of giving the brothers a higher profile match on the show, but management has been downplaying their importance over the last several weeks.

INFOCOMM 2013, Orlando, FL, May 2013 â Powersoft will launch the ultimate paradigm shift in low frequency applications at InfoComm 2013: M-Force®. After a development cycle spanning more than four years, M-Force was publicly unveiled at the recent PL+S Show in Frankfurt, generating high levels of interest and excitement from the entire professional audio industry.
Designed specifically for loudspeaker manufacturers and powered by Powersoft proprietary Switch Mode amplification, M-Force is an innovative linear motor characterized by a moving magnet and genuine push-pull behavior. M-Force integrates perfectly with other technologies developed by Powersoft such as Differential Pressure Control (DPC®) already used in subwoofers using IPAL® technology.
âThe approach to converting a signal from electrical to acoustic has not been fundamentally changed since the beginning of acoustic designâ â comments Powersoftâs R&D Director Claudio Lastrucci. Â âWith M-Force we have created an alternative method of acoustic transduction, by combining the latest technologies in the domains of power amplification, magnetic materials and advanced real-time digital signal processing. The result is a device that considerably improves the electrical to acoustic conversion efficiency at a system level, allowing the true exploitation of the native qualities of switch mode amplification. This new approach brings many advantages â most significantly providing a flexibility and sound quality experience that will set a new standard in low frequency speaker design.â
M-Force is currently being tested in the field in collaboration with a select group of loudspeaker manufactures and live sound engineers. The goal is to offer a âsystem orientedâ package for selected loudspeaker manufacturers to produce unsurpassed low frequency performance: a true and complete paradigm shift from the traditional moving coil and cone.
With respect to conventional transducers, M-Force requires less power from the amplifier to produce higher sound pressure levels (SPL) with extremely low levels of distortion. Unlike conventional loudspeakers, M-Force is a genuine push-pull engine where the magnetic field interacts in a linear fashion to provide a controlled force to the moving elements. The transducer is completely free of moving electrical conductors, which in turn maximizes the efficiency and reliability of the whole system. The extremely high motor strength, typically one order of magnitude above conventional technologies, yields to a natural, controlled sound and negligible power compression at the highest sound levels. The extreme displacement capabilities allow an increase in SPL in relation to the size ratio of the cabinet design. By merging the unique parameters of the transducer and the amplifier output stage, the system provides unsurpassed sonic performance and efficiency.
M-Force has been designed with the environment in mind. High power efficiency, extended lifespan and with low Neodymium content, M-Force fits perfectly into Powersoftâs âGreen Audio Powerâ philosophy.
M-Force is a worldwide patented technology.

Messner, who underwent surgery for colon cancer in 1996 and was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2004, died Friday, her booking manager, Joe Spotts, told the Associated Press on Saturday night.
In a letter posted on her website in May, Messner said that doctors had stopped treating her cancer and that her weight had dropped to 65 pounds. "Now," she wrote, "it's up to God and my faith."
» The latest on traffic, delays and road construction delivered to your mobile phone. Click to sign up to receive text alerts!
She revealed that she had been diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer during a March 2004 appearance on CNN's "Larry King Live." That Messner would publicly announce her diagnosis on King's talk show underscored her status as a faded yet enduring pop culture icon.
Indeed, her radiation treatments even became part of a 2005 documentary, "Tammy Faye: Death Defying."
"During radiation," she said at the time, "I did not lose my hair, but I lost my eyelashes, which is the funniest thing in the world to me, because it's my trademark."
As Tammy Faye Bakker in the 1970s and '80s, she was known as "the first lady of televangelism," a high-profile pioneer of the "electronic church."
At 4 feet, 11 inches tall (not counting 3 1/2 -inch spike heels) and with her red hair and heavily made-up eyes, Messner was described in the media as a "human kewpie doll" and someone who seemed to "ooze kitsch."
As prone to giggling as she was to crying mascara-stained tears on camera, Tammy Faye Bakker proved to be irresistible fodder for late-night comedians.
"She was the most laughed-at woman in the Western world," Fenton Bailey, codirector of "The Eyes of Tammy Faye," a largely sympathetic documentary on Messner's life, told the Los Angeles Times in 2000.
"I don't know of any woman in our time who has been so ridiculed, put down, maligned," singer Pat Boone said in the 2000 film. "Really, I equate her with Hillary Clinton, because these two women have both suffered tremendously by the things that their husbands may have done, and yet she just keeps going."
During the heyday of the Bakkers' television ministry, "The Jim and Tammy Show" reportedly was carried on more than 1,400 stations and their PTL ministry took in millions of dollars a month.
The centerpiece of their evangelical empire — Heritage USA, a 2,300-acre Christian theme park, resort and ministry headquarters in Fort Mill, S.C. — reportedly attracted some 6 million visitors in 1986. Those who stayed at what was often described as "a Christian Disneyland" could buy eight different Tammy Faye record albums, not to mention items from the Tammy Faye line of cosmetics and pantyhose.
PTL stood for "Praise the Lord" and "People That Love," but critics insisted it stood for "Pass the Loot" and "Pay the Lady."
The downfall of Jim Bakker began in 1987 with the revelation that he had had a one-time sexual encounter with a former church secretary from New York, Jessica Hahn, in a Florida motel room in 1980 — and that $265,000 in ministry funds were later used to keep Hahn quiet.
In March 1987, the scandalized Jim Bakker resigned as president of the $129-million-a-year PTL ministry and turned it over to the Rev. Jerry Falwell.
Three months later, Falwell placed the ministry, which was more than $60 million in debt, in bankruptcy and turned financial records over to the U.S. Department of Justice.
In 1988, Bakker and former top PTL associate Richard Dortch were indicted on federal charges of fraud and conspiracy. The 24-count indictment, returned by a federal grand jury, charged that Bakker and Dortch had fraudulently oversubscribed at least $158 million worth of $1,000 "lifetime partnerships" that guaranteed contributors three nights lodging per year at Heritage USA to help maintain Bakker and Dortch's "lavish and extravagant lifestyles."
The indictment further alleged that at a time when the PTL was in poor financial shape, Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker received bonuses totaling some $3.5 million for their personal use.

CSC looking forward to good cross country season's
CHADRON The Chadron State College men's and women's cross country teams are no strangers to putting in the miles. That will certainly hold true for their 2013 schedule, which was released Monday.
The Eagles, who wrapped up their first season competing in NCAA Division II last fall, will have seven competitions in six states during the 2013 season.
"We are excited about our schedule and I feel it will give our student-athletes a great opportunity for diverse competition," men's and women's cross country head coach Ryan Baily said.
Chadron State will open its 2013 slate Sept. 6 at the South Dakota School of Mines Invitational in Rapid City, S.D.
CSC will host its invitational on Sept. 14 and will compete a week later at the University of Nebraska Woody Greeno Invitational Sept. 21 in Lincoln.
The Eagles will then close out their regular season with three trips to three different states, beginning with the Chile Pepper Festival in Fayetteville, Ark., on Oct. 5.
The Chile Pepper has become one of the largest and most prestigious cross country meets in the nation. Chadron State's president, Dr. Randy Rhine, was among the founders when he worked at the University of Arkansas in the 1980s.
Chadron State will then compete at the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference championships Oct. 26 in Silver City, N.M., and the NCAA Division II South Central Region Championship Nov. 9 in Canyon, Texas.
The men's and women's cross country season concludes Nov. 23 at the NCAA Division II National Championships in Spokane, Wash.

As I pointed out the other day, the CIA IG Report on spying on the Senate Intelligence Committee appears to say the egregious spying happened after John Brennan told Dianne Feinstein and Saxby Chambliss on January 15 CIA had been spying on SSCI.
Agency Access to Files on the SSCI RDINet:
Five Agency employees, two attorneys and three information technology (IT) staff members, improperly accessed or caused access to the SSCI Majority staff shared drives on the RDINet.
Agency Crimes Report on Alleged Misconduct by SSCI Staff:
The Agency filed a crimes report with the DOJ, as required by Executive Order 12333 and the 1995 Crimes Reporting Memorandum between the DOJ and the Intelligence Community, reporting that SSCI staff members may have improperly accessed Agency information on the RDINet. However, the factual basis for the referral was not supported, as the author of the referral had been provided inaccurate information on which the letter was based. After review, the DOJ declined to open a criminal investigation of the matter alleged in the crimes report.
Office of Security Review of SSCI Staff Activity:
Subsequent to directive by the D/CIA to halt the Agency review of SSCI staff access to the RDINet, and unaware of the D/CIA's direction, the Office of Security conducted a limited investigation of SSCI activities on the RDINet. That effort included a keyword search of all and a review of some of the emails of SSCI Majority staff members on the RDINet system.
With that in mind, consider this passage of James Clapper's July 25, 2014 response to Chuck Grassley and Ron Wyden's concerns about Clapper's new ongoing spying on clearance holders.
With respect to your second question about monitoring of Members of Congress and Legislative Branch employees, in general those individuals will not be subject to [User Activity Monitoring] because their classified networks are not included in the definition of national security systems (NSS) for which monitoring is required.
Because no internally owned or operated Legislative branch network qualifies as a national security system, UAM by the Executive Branch is accordingly neither required nor conducted. To be clear, however, when Legislative Branch personnel access a national security system used or operated by the Executive Branch, they are of course subject to UAM on that particular system.
CIA's spying on SSCI took place on CIA's RDI network, not on the SSCI one. SSCI had originally demanded they be given the documents pertaining to the torture program, but ultimately Leon Panetta required them to work on a CIA network, as Dianne Feinstein explained earlier this year.
The committee's preference was for the CIA to turn over all responsive documents to the committee's office, as had been done in previous committee investigations.
Director Panetta proposed an alternative arrangement: to provide literally millions of pages of operational cables, internal emails, memos, and other documents pursuant to the committee's document requests at a secure location in Northern Virginia. We agreed, but insisted on several conditions and protections to ensure the integrity of this congressional investigation.
Per an exchange of letters in 2009, then-Vice Chairman Bond, then-Director Panetta, and I agreed in an exchange of letters that the CIA was to provide a "stand-alone computer system" with a "network drive" "segregated from CIA networks" for the committee that would only be accessed by information technology personnel at the CIA—who would "not be permitted to" "share information from the system with other [CIA] personnel, except as otherwise authorized by the committee."
It was this computer network that, notwithstanding our agreement with Director Panetta, was searched by the CIA this past January,
Presumably, those limits on access should have prevented CIA's IT guys from sharing information about what SSCI was doing on the network. But it's not clear they would override Clapper's UAM.
Remember, too, when Brennan first explained how this spying didn't qualify as a violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, he said CIA could conduct "lawfully authorized … protective … activity" in the US. Presumably like UAM.
I have no idea whether this explains why CIA's IG retracted what Feinstein said had been his own criminal referral or not. But I do wonder whether the CIA has self-excused some of its spying on SSCI in the interest of continuous user monitoring?
If so, it would be the height of irony, as UAM did not discover either Chelsea Manning's or Edward Snowden's leaks. Imagine if the only leakers the Intelligence Community ever found were their own overseers?
When Ron Wyden first asked John Brennan whether CIA had to comply with the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, Brennan suggested they didn't have to if they were conducting investigations.
The statute does apply. The Act, however, expressly "does not prohibit any lawfully authorized investigative, protective, or intelligence activity … of an intelligence agency of the United States." 18 U.S.C. § 1030(f).
Then in March, after Senator Feinstein accused the CIA of improperly spying on her committee, Brennan claimed it was outside the realm of possibility.
As far as the allegations of, you know, CIA hacking into, you know, Senate computers, nothing could be further from the truth. I mean, we wouldn't do that. I mean, that's — that's just beyond the — you know, the scope of reason in terms of what we would do.
Now that DOJ has decided not to investigate CIA's illegal domestic spying, we learn it was well within the realm of possibility.
CIA employees improperly accessed computers used by the Senate Intelligence Committee to compile a report on the agency's now defunct detention and interrogation program, an internal CIA investigation has determined.
Findings of the investigation by the CIA Inspector General's Office "include a judgment that some CIA employees acted in a manner inconsistent with the common understanding reached between SSCI (Senate Select Committee on Intelligence) and the CIA in 2009," CIA spokesman Dean Boyd said in a statement.
Brennan's solution is to have corrupt hack Evan Bayh conduct an accountability review of the spying.
Mark Udall and Ron Wyden are furious. DiFi is less so. The Republicans on the Committee have been silent; apparently they're okay with CIA breaching separation of powers.
And yet again, the CIA proves it refuses to subsist within democratic structures.
As I said in my post last night, Pat Leahy's version of USA Freedom Act is a significant improvement over USA Freedumber, the watered down House version. But it includes language that no one I've met has been able to explain. I believe it may permit the NSA to have its immunized telecom providers contact chain on (at least) location, and possibly worse. Thus, it may well be everyone applauding the bill — including privacy NGOs — are applauding increased use of techniques like location spying even as judges around the country are deeming such spying unconstitutional. I strongly believe this bill may expand the universe of US persons who will be thrown into the corporate store indefinitely, to be subjected to the full brunt of NSA's analytical might.
But that's not the part of the bill that disturbs me the most. It's this language:
Subparagraphs (B)(iv), (B)(v), (D)(iii), (E)(iii), and (E)(iv) of paragraph (1) of subsection (b) shall not apply to information or records held by, or queries conducted by, the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
The language refers, in part, to requirements that the government report to Congress:
(B) the total number of orders issued pursuant to section 702 and a good faith estimate of—
(iv) the number of search terms that included information concerning a United States person that were used to query any database of the contents of electronic communications or wire communications obtained through the use of an order issued pursuant to section 702; and
(v) the number of search queries initiated by an officer, employee, or agent of the United States whose search terms included information concerning a United States person in any database of noncontents information relating to electronic communications or wire communications that were obtained through the use of an order issued pursuant to section 702;
These are back door searches on US person identifiers of Section 702 collected data — both content (iv) and metadata (v).
In other words, after having required the government to report how many back door searches of US person data it conducts, the bill then exempts the FBI.
The FBI — the one agency whose use of such data can actually result in a prosecution of the US person in question.
We already know the government has not provided all defendants caught using 702 data notice. And yet, having recognized the need to start counting how many Americans get caught in back door searches, Patrick Leahy has decided to exempt the agency that uses back door searches the most.
And if they're not giving defendants notice (and they're not), then this is an illegal use of Section 702.
There is no reason to exempt the FBI for this. On the contrary, if we're going to count back door searches on US persons, the first place we should start counting is at FBI, where it likely matters most. But the Chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee has decided it's a good idea to exempt precisely those back door searches from reporting requirements.
Yesterday, we learned:
Back in November, when Dianne Feinstein was trying to codify these unwarranted back door searches explicitly into law, here's what anonymous sources described as Senate Intelligence Committee aides told the WaPo:
They say that there have been only a "small number" of such queries each year. Such searches are useful, for instance, if a tip arises that a terrorist group is plotting to kill or kidnap an American, officials have said.
"Only a small number."
Over 2,000 counted searches between the CIA and NSA. Uncounted, but substantial, number of searches by FBI. "Only a small number."
Were these anonymous sources ignorant — relying on false information from the Agencies? The actual number of unwarranted back door searches doesn't appear in the unredacted portions of the one Semiannual Section 702 Compliance report we've seen (see page 13); there doesn't appear to be a redacted section where they would end up.
So have the Agencies (CIA and NSA in this case; FBI's back door searches get audited in a different way) simply hidden from their Congressional overseers how frequently they were doing these searches?
Or were these aides trying, once again, to pass legislation permitting the nation's spy agencies to conduct intrusive searches on Americans by lying?
One way or another, it's a damn good thing Ron Wyden asked for and insisted on getting an answer to his question of how common these back door searches are (even if the FBI still refuses to count them). Because the key people who are supposed to oversee them are either ignorant or lying about them.
For a long time, I've been noting that the October 3, 2011 John Bates Opinion and last August's Semiannual Report on FISA make it clear that the FBI, like the CIA and NSA, conducts back door searches off Section 702 collected data.
ODNI's response to Ron Wyden's request for actual numbers of how many back door searches the government conducts makes it clear that I was correct.
The report is even worse than I imagined. It shows the following:
FBI does back door searches for both foreign intelligence and criminal purposes. This means NSA's language about keeping data for evidence of a crime is fairly meaningless, because they're handing chunks of data off to FBI that it can troll for evidence of crime.
And the FBI doesn't count these queries. In fact, FBI doesn't even distinguish between when it is searching foreign and US person identifiers.They say only that "the number of queries is substantial."
I expected all that from the FBI. What amazes me is that the CIA — an Agency that is not supposed to conduct domestic intelligence collection — does not count how many metadata-only queries of US person data it does. So all those fears of NSA identifying whether you're visiting an AIDS clinic or a pregnancy counseling center? The NSA may not do that kind of analysis, but the CIA might be checking what foreigners you're talking to.
The CIA also conducts a bunch of content queries — "fewer than 1900″ — of which 40% are counterterrorism-related queries for other agencies. (Which leads me to wonder why neither NSA nor FBI are doing these queries, which would make more sense.) But that leaves 60% of 1900 — or around 1,100 queries a year of US person content that are for CIA's own purposes and may not even be terrorism related.
The NSA conducts the fewest. It conducts 198 US person content queries (that is, not all that much fewer than the 248 US persons queried in the phone dragnet or collected on using another Section 215 order). It conducts 9,500 queries of metadata only queries, of which some are duplicative.
Compared to CIA's uncountable number, that may not sound like a lot. But compare that to the phone dragnet, which also queried on fewer than 248 US person identifiers last year. That is, it is doing an order of magnitude more Internet metadata queries than it is phone queries.
One more thing: Last year's FAA report revealed that CIA and NSA also sometimes accidentally query US person data. So the numbers of Americans sucked in via FAA may be significantly larger.
One more note about this report. PCLOB is due to release their Section 702 report on Wednesday. That is sure to have recommendations about how to protect US person privacy; Patricia Wald was quite clear in the most recent PCLOB hearing she believes the government should use a warrant to access this data. So Ron Wyden finally got a response, but it almost certain is only because PCLOB was about to make much of this public on their own.
(KS linked to this version of the Doors, thanks!)
As I noted on Friday, the Administration got a new phone dragnet order on the same day that Senators Wyden, Udall, and Heinrich pointed out that — so long as the Administration only wants to do what it claims to want to do — it could stop holding phone records right away, just as it implemented Obama's 2-hop mandate and court review in February right away.
From ODNI's announcement they got a new dragnet order Friday (which they congratulate themselves as a great show of transparency), it's clear they have no intention of doing so. On the contrary, they're going to hold out HR 3361 — and their unconvincing claim it ends bulk collection as normal people understand the term — with each new dragnet order.
After carefully considering the available options, the President announced in March that the best path forward is that the government should not collect or hold this data in bulk, and that it remain at the telephone companies with a legal mechanism in place which would allow the government to obtain data pursuant to individual orders from the FISC approving the use of specific numbers for such queries. The President also noted that legislation would be required to implement this option and called on Congress to enact this important change to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).
Consistent with the President's March proposal, in May, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 3361, the USA FREEDOM Act, which would, if enacted, create a new mechanism for the government to obtain this telephony metadata pursuant to individual orders from the FISC, rather than in bulk. The bill also prohibits bulk collection through the use of Section 215, FISA pen registers and trap and trace devices, and National Security Letters.
Overall, the bill's significant reforms would provide the public greater confidence in our programs and the checks and balances in the system, while ensuring our intelligence and law enforcement professionals have the authorities they need to protect the Nation. The Administration strongly supports the USA FREEDOM Act. We urge the Senate to swiftly consider it, and remain ready to work with Congress to clarify that the bill prohibits bulk collection as noted above, as necessary.
Given that legislation has not yet been enacted, and given the importance of maintaining the capabilities of the Section 215 telephony metadata program, the government has sought a 90-day reauthorization of the existing program, as modified by the changes the President announced earlier this year.
But here's the bit I'm most struck by, particularly given that the government has not yet released the March 28, 2014 dragnet order which should be a slam dunk declassification process, given that its content has presumably all been released in the past.
In addition to a new primary order last Friday, FISC also wrote a memorandum opinion.
The Administration is undertaking a declassification review of this most recent court order and an accompanying memorandum opinion for publication.
I can think of two things that would explain a memorandum opinion: the program has changed in some way (perhaps they've changed how they interpret "selection term" or implement the automated process which they had previously never gotten running?), or the FISC considered some new legal issue before approving the dragnet.
As I noted last week, both US v. Quartavious Davis, in which the 11th Circuit ruled stored cell location data required a warrant), and US v Stavros Ganias, in which the 2nd Circuit ruled the government can't use data it seized under an old warrant years later, might affect both the current and future dragnets, as well as other programs the NSA engages in.
Thing is, whatever the subject of the opinion, then it'd sure be nice to know what it says before we pass this legislation, as the legislation may have to correct the wacky secret decisions of the FISC (most members of Congress are still not getting unredacted dragnet orders). But if the last order is any indication, we won't get this new order until months from now, long after the bill is expected to be rushed through the Senate.
Which is probably all by design.
The three surveillance critics from the Senate Intelligence Committee — Ron Wyden, Mark Udall, and Martin Heinrich — wrote a letter to Obama on the developments in the NSA reform. Generally, they repeat exhortations that Wyden and Udall have already made in hearings to end the dragnet right now, as Obama has already claimed he wants to do.
I'm not entirely sure what to make of it, but I find some of the details in it to be of particular interest.
The Senators point out, for example, that several bills accomplish the goals Obama has publicly stated he'd support. Those bills include the original USA Freedom Act, and separate proposals advanced by both Udall and Wyden.
But they also include the original PATRIOT Reauthorization from 2005, which Dianne Feinstein once supported, as did a young Senator named Barack Obama (though the Senators don't mention either of those details). Wyden has long pointed obliquely to when the Executive first started using PATRIOT to conduct dragnets, and the record shows the Executive withheld information about how it was using the PRTT authority from even the Intelligence Committees during the 2005 reauthorization. So the Senators may be nodding towards Executive refusal to respect the will of Congress with this mention.
The Senators then both question claims from Administration officials that "in the absence of new legislation, there is no plan to suspend the bulk collection of Americans' phone records," and express their doubts "that the version of the USA Freedom Act that recently passed the House of Representatives would actually ban the bulk collection of Americans' records."
While they repeatedly reiterate their support for legislative reform, they also lay out a plan by which the President can immediately end the dragnet. Here's the part I find particularly interesting.
First, they say it is "highly likely" FISC would let them get 2-degrees of phone records, unless FISC has already prohibited that.
Unless the FISC has already rejected such a request from the government, it does not seem necessary for the executive branch to wait for Congress before taking action.
Isn't this already included in current orders? Shouldn't the Senators know if FISC has rejected such a request (especially Wyden, who has been on the committee through all this period)? Is Wyden saying it's possible there's something else limiting the dragnet? Is he pointing to a ruling he knows about?
Just as interesting, the Senators argue the Pen Register Authority — not Section 215 — could serve to carry out the prospective collection the bill claims to want to do.
FISC would likely approve the defined and limited prospective searches for records envisioned under your proposal pursuant to current USA PATRIOT Act Section 214 pen register authorities, given how broadly it has previous interpreted these authorities.
Finally, although we have seen no evidence that the government has needed the bulk phone records collection program to attain any time-sensitive objectives, we agree that new legislation should provide clear emergency authorities to allow the government to obtain court approval of individual queries after the fact under specific circumstances. The law currently allows prospective emergency acquisitions of call records under Section 403 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), and the acquisition of past records without judicial review under national security letter authorities.
Of course, the PRTT authority (cited twice here) should always have been the appropriate authority for this collection; we've just never learned why the government didn't use that.
Basically, the Senators are laying out how the Executive could do precisely what it says it wants to do with existing authorities (indeed, with the PRTT authority that are actually targeted to the kind of record in question).
The Executive has all the authorities it needs, the Senators lay out, so why doesn't it end the dragnet — achieve the reform it claims it wants — immediately?
We believe the way to restore Americans' constitutional rights and their trust in our intelligence community is to immediately end the practice of vacuuming up the phone records of huge numbers of innocent Americans every day and permit the government to obtain only the phone records of people actually connected to terrorism or other nefarious activity. We support your March 27, 2014, proposal to achieve these goals, but we also view ending bulk collection as an imperative that cannot wait.
Damn! That's a very good question! Obama moved immediately to implement his first reform proposal — advance FISC approval and limits to two hops — back in February. So why isn't he moving immediately to implement the plan he says he wants now, as the Senators lay out he could well do under existing authorities?
It may be the Senators are just pressuring Obama to implement changes now, and nothing here is meant to point to some underlying issue.
But I wildarseguess that they're trying to point out the differences between what they could do — under the PRTT orders they should have been using from the start — and what they want to do.
There's one difference we can point to right away, after all: immunity. If all the government wanted to do was to obtain call detail records, then they wouldn't need to give the telecoms immunity. That's something they do every day. But there's something they will do that has led the telecoms to demand immunity. That's the stuff that goes beyond traditional PRTT activity.
Then there's the stuff we don't know about: the "connections" based chaining. As I've said, I don't know what that entails. But it is an obvious explanation for why the telecoms need immunity — and for why a simple PRTT order won't suffice.
One way or another, the Senators are calling Obama's bluff. Obama says he wants nothing more than to obtain specific phone records going forward. If that's true, he could make the change today. Yet the Executive is clear they can't do that.
Update: One more detail. As Wyden's release on this makes clear, today's the day the March 28, 2014 phone dragnet order expires, so presumably the government got another one today. We've never seen that March 28 order, by the way.
As a number of outlets are reporting, ACLU liberated some emails catching Florida cops agreeing to lie about the Stingray devices used to capture suspects.
As you are aware for some time now, the US Marshalls and I believe FDLE have had equipment which enables law enforcement to ping a suspects cell phone and pin point his/her exact location in an effort to apprehend suspects involved in serious crimes. In the past, and at the request of the U.S. Marshalls, the investigative means utilized to locate the suspect have not been revealed so that we may continue to utilize this technology without the knowledge of the criminal element. In reports or depositions we simply refer to the assistance as "received information from a confidential source regarding the location of the suspect." To date this has not been challenged, since it is not an integral part of the actual crime that occurred.
The email goes on to instruct that "it is unnecessary to provide investigative means to anyone outside of law enforcement."
But i'm most interested in the subject line for this email: "Trap and Trace Confidentiality."
That seems to confirm what ACLU and WSJ have reported earlier this month. Law enforcement are obtaining location data under Pen Register or Trap and Trace orders, meaning they're claiming that location data are simply metadata.
That (and the arrogant parallel construction) is problematic for a lot of reasons, but given two developments on the national dragnet, I think we should be newly concerned there, too.
As I have noted, several months after NSA's Pen Register/Trap and Trace authority was shut down, FBI still had an active PRTT program from which NSA was obtaining data.
And not only does it seem that the government plans to resume some kind of PRTT dragnet, but there's reason to believe they're still hiding one.
The thing is, I have perhaps mistakenly always assumed these PRTT programs involved the collection of Internet metadata off telecom backbones. While I'm sure they collect large amounts of Internet metadata somehow, I realize now that they might also be operating (or planning to operate) large scale PRTT location programs. Remember, too, that Ron Wyden was asking provocative questions about the intelligence community's use of cell location data just days before this classification guide.
Mind you, the Quartavious decision might make that impossible now.
But given the USM apparently concerted effort to hide the fact that PRTT equates to cell location orders, we should at least consider whether the government operates more systematic location programs.
As per usual, there was a tidbit of news in Ron Wyden's questions at yesterday's hearing on the USA Freedumber.
He revealed that the back door loophole was closed during the Bush Administration.
Let me start by talking about the fact that the House bill does not ban warrantless searches for Americans' emails. And here, particularly, I want to get into this with you, Mr. Ledgett if I might. We're talking of course about the backdoor search loophole, section 702 of the FISA statute. This allows NSA in effect to look through this giant pile of communications that are collected under 702 and deliberately conduct warrantless searches for the communications of individual Americans. This loophole was closed during the Bush Administration, but it was reopened in 2011, and a few months ago the Director of National Intelligence acknowledged in a letter to me that the searches are ongoing today. [my emphasis]
I'm not sure precisely what he's talking about, though I assume either the transition from the illegal program to Protect America Act, or the transition from PAA to FISA Amendments Act, removed NSA's ability to conduct back door searches. Reading between the redactions in John Bates' October 3, 2011 opinion, FBI apparently has had the authority to do back door searches on both traditional FISA and warrantless collection from 2008, so from the beginning of FAA.
But from what Wyden said, the NSA had the ability to do back door searches, lost it, and now has it again.
I'd sure like to know more about what happened to lead people to believe NSA should have that authority taken away from it.
Jason Leopold has a new article at the Guardian based off a FOIA of NSA's FOIA process. Perhaps the funniest part of the documents he received, however, is the number of times the NSA claimed its own discussion of FOIA process — including praise for the FOIA responders! — was Top Secret, suggesting revealing details would cause exceptionally grave harm to national security.
That said, I think there's a missing piece to this puzzle (and hope Leopold pursues it when he makes his inevitable appeal of some of these redaction decisions).
On June 11, NSA's Chief of FOIA Office Pamela Phillips raised the possibility of having "a paper or sheet of unclassified facts that could be provided to the public." (See PDF 1) She repeated that request on June 17. (See PDF 3) I believe that is separate from the efforts to come up with a standard Glomar letter (that discussion, incidentally, is redacted in some enormously interesting ways).
But I'm particularly interested in a redaction in an email from Deputy Chief of Staff Trumbull Soule to Associate Director for Policy and Records David Sherman and then Media Leaks Task Force head and now Deputy Director of NSA Richard Ledgett, and cc'ed to Phillips and (among at least 12 others) NSA General Counsel Raj De on June 26.
That's because that email got sent on the day after the NSA had to pull what I believe was that unclassified fact sheet, which NSA first posted on June 18, after Ron Wyden and Mark Udall wrote a letter, on June 24, to Keith Alexander noting two problems with the letter, in that it misleadingly suggested,
In addition, the letter had a classified attachment that, I suspect, noted that John Bates' response to the upstream problems did not require the destruction of entirely domestic communications.
NSA withdrew the fact sheet from its website sometime before 1 PM on June 25.
Now, it may just be a coinkydink that the highest level of discussion among these emails come on that particular day (though I assume NSA withheld a bunch of emails). But I do find the timing rather interesting.

Quick Pointers For Bell Sphon Functionality
For those building a bell siphon
A few quick points
1) make sure the inflow is at least 1% percent more water volume than the outflow of the standpipe (when the outflow is not siphoning). This ensures that the standpipe will be covered, one of the key requirements for the mechanism to work.
The goal here is to create negative pressure inside of the 'bell'. this can only happen when the standpipe is completely covered and the water vortexes downward. When the vortex is created, the water takes a gulp of air with it, which creates the negative pressure required.
2) make sure that there is an unimpeded drop with the standpipe, this will make sure the standpipe can maintain a steady outflow. ie don't have any curves or bends as the outflow can be impeded.
3) Make sure all components are completely sealed
Generally if you meet these three criteria your siphon should run continuously.

I picked this up after hearing that it was a dupe for mac's snob. It is a very beautiful light lilac color and applies well after applying chapstick. The packaging is nice and the price is just right . I will be repurchasing.. that is if i ever get to the bottom since i have so many lippy's;)
This lipstick is very sheer, pink, mauve color. Not very matte though.
I was a little weary to try this because I generally don't like the look of super pale pink lips but I was pleasantly surprised with this shade. It's a cute, feminine pink on my lips. I adore the packaging! Very sleek and elegant.
Nice pinky colour with some lilac in it. A lot of people compare it to MAC's Snob lipstick but snob is a lot lighter almost more pastel. It has also been compared to MAC's Pink Plaid lipstick but I find Revlon Pink Pout is more pinky and lighter then MAC's Pink plaid. Overall it's a nice colour the formula isn't the greatest I find it's a little waxy, but I would buy again cause I like the colour. Looks nice on my NC35 skintone.

UPDATE: This is a warm pink! No wonder it looked so awful with all my cool pink blushes. I don't know how this grayish mauve in the tube lipstick comes off so warm Barbie pink on me but it does. I used it with a yellow pink blush & it looks light years better on me. I am bumping this up to a solid 3 lippie because even though this discovery has made it look so much better...it isn't the easiest to wear still (at least with my deep winter coloring). If this has looked awful on you, try a warmer pink blush.
ORIGINAL POST: NW20 with rosey brown pigmented lips. This looked atrocious on me. It was a Barbie pinky color. I looked like a clown. This would probably do better on darker and more yellow skin tones. But on me it looked ridiculous. I was hoping for the soft pretty lips in the pictures here, but it was Barbie pinkish and looked awful.

The color is gorgeous! its great for spring :) i heard its a dup for mac snob, i LOVE THIS!! one of my fav lipsticks!
I like this lipstick. Packaging is super sleek and elegant. Color is nice. Texture/consistancy is nice. Looks nothing like the color on the end of the tube. At least not to me, or on me. Its a bit darker than the sticker.. But the cool thing about that is since the top is clear you can just look at that instead of the sticker and see what the true color is.

This looks just like my MAC's Gaga lipstick, which is why I bought it. This is beautiful with a light pink or clear gloss on top. A beautiful color.

Nice pink/lilac colour that looks really nice on :) Looks best with Revlon Lilac Pastelle gloss over top to really pull out the lilac tones!
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I really like this colour! It's a bright matte pink. As previous reviews have mentioned, it is a pretty close match to MAC's Snob. Staying power isn't too bad. I find that I can freshen up any fading colour with a bit of pink or clear gloss, or even lipbalm/chapstick. Hopefully Revlon doesn't stop making this one!

Fast forward two years. Through the magic of Google, my blog post on StickK is now the fourth hit on any search for "Stickk." And even though there's a comment at the end from StickK noting that it had changed its policies post facto, the company wanted to add a disclaimer to the top of the piece.
So Computerworld added a disclaimer. No big.
But along the way I revisited StickK's privacy policy and found more things that disturbed and confused me. That lead to another email conversation with StickK General Counsel Scott Goldberg.
Here's one example: StickK's Terms of Use still give it the right to use members' photographs and other information in advertisements, provided the use doesn't violate the site's privacy policy. StickK's Privacy Policy says nothing about any of that. So does StickK have the right to use my photos in ads or not?
Per Goldberg:
The rule for privacy policy interpretation is that unlisted methods of sharing are not permitted because a user cannot give consent to our sharing their information via a particular method when that user has not been asked or told about sharing via that method. Our privacy sets forth a specific, limited, list of ways that the information can be shared and advertising is not listed. Since advertising is not listed, use of PII in advertising is not permitted.
He went on for a bit after that, but that's the simplest, clearest explanation he provided to any of my questions.
Privacy policies like this are fine, if you happen to have a lawyer in your pocket at all times -- and then maybe another lawyer to translate what the first lawyer said.
Otherwise they're not so fine. They're effectively useless. So here's what I propose. Keep the legalese for the lawyers, if you must, but boil it down to the essentials for the rest of us mere mortals.
The first time you visit a site or log into it, the site should display a pop up window with four bullet points listing:
* The personal identifiable information the site gathers. Name and address? Credit card? IP and location? A simple list would suffice.
* What the site does with your PII. Will third parties have access to your data? Will advertisers?
* The ability to opt out on the spot. Don't like what the site is doing with your info? Click this link to remove your data or limit sharing.
* Want to dig into the minutiae? Here's a link to the longer legalese.
Simple, easy, effective, and no migraines. Is that really so difficult? I don't think so. What do you think?
UPDATE: After I first posted this, StickK's general counsel sent me an official response. Here it is:
