Was this a state-sponsored attack against Cryptocomb?
John Young is one of my heroes. In many ways he is the prototype WikiLeaks – less showy, less flamboyant, but as honest as a summer's day in the Arctic is long. He's like an old-fashioned editor before the money-men took over: publish and be damned, so long as it is true.
Jester is a pain in the backside. Jester is a self-righteous, self-proclaimed, self-promoting hacktivist for good.
Jester doesn't seem to like the truth. He doesn't seem to like government sins made public. He seems to think that American and other allied soldiers are fighting and dying in Afghanistan and other theatres of war to protect the western politicians, regardless of how corrupt, or deceitful they may be. He seems to want to be the arbiter of what we are allowed to know. In short, he wants to defend a way of life that isn't worth defending.
Needless to say, Jester doesn't like John Young or his websites. He says that Cryptocomb leaked to Fox News the true name of the Navy SEAL who has authored a book due to be published next month on the killing of Osama bin Laden. Cryptocomb says, "The suggestion that Cryptocomb leaked a story to Fox News is simply crazy." One is an inveterate liar and self-aggrandizing distorter of the truth, and the other is Cryptocomb. The Fox News story, incidentally, is here: Fox News Outs The Navy SEAL Who Wrote An Anonymous Book On The Bin Laden Raid.
But, true to character, Jester took the law into his own self-righteous hands and launched a successful denial of service attack on Cryptocomb. He tweeted:
A quick check on Cryptocomb did indeed show problems:
I'll come back to that comment later. But then Jester tweets:
and Cryptocomb is back up. The only indication of any removed file from Cryptocomb that I can find is "th3j35t3r takes down Cryptocomb". It's gone. Can't even find it on Google cache. Lucky I took a quick, sadly partial screenshot earlier:
I cannot be certain that this is the file that Jester refers to. It looks possible, and could be used to justify his second tweet; but it's certainly not a file leaking a SEAL name to Fox News. Is this a victory for Jester? Well he'd certainly like us to think so; but it's pretty meaningless either way since Cryptocomb still links to the full Fox News expose.
Let's go back to Cryptocomb's earlier comment. State sponsored attack? Well I've often wondered. Earlier today in the UK it became known that an arrested Facebook troll is actually a serving policeman. The victim commented, "When [Olympic diver] Tom Daley was trolled, within 24 hours someone was traced and arrested." For her it took nine months and a high court judgement. On Tuesday the FBI arrested at least the ninth alleged member/associate of LulzSec. It seems self-evident that when law enforcement decides it wants or need to catch someone, it can and will. Consequently, it's impossible to avoid the conclusion that the FBI is turning a blind eye to the antics of Jester. And if that's the case, no amount of plausible deniability can change the fact that this was indeed a state sponsored attack by collusion if not direction.

GeneWatch UK today slammed the EU's new draft rules for approving genetically modified (GM) insects, fish, farm animals and pets. The organisation warned that billions of GM insect eggs and caterpillars would be left in vegetables and fruit if UK company Oxitec's GM moths and flies are approved by the EU under the new rules. Oxitec's GM insects have been genetically engineered so their caterpillars die inside olives or tomatoes or on the leaves of cabbages. The company plans to release GM pests across the EU to mate with wild pests in an attempt to reduce their numbers. Millions of GM pests must be released each week to have any effect on wild populations.

When we finally succeed, as we inevitably shall, in wiping mankind off the face of the earth, Gaia will breathe a sigh of relief.
Anonymous hacks UK MP Peter Hain
Peter Hain, the political activist who dug up the Lords cricket pitch in an attempt to intimidate the cricket authorities into not playing cricket with the apartheid South Africa, got hacked by the Anonymous political activist collective – and he doesn't like it.
It's intimidation he said, adding, "I have had these attacks for 40 years, mostly from racists and fascists." He's got a point. Firstly it is intimidation, because the collective has threatened to unleash a film (V for Vendetta) on him. And secondly he's right about fascists and racists using intimidation. Here's another recent fascist (and racist) example:
You should be aware that there is a legal basis in the UK — the Diplomatic and Consular Premises Act — which would allow us to take action to arrest Mr. Assange in the current premises of the embassy… We sincerely hope that we do not reach that point, but if you are not capable of resolving this matter of Mr Assange's presence in your premises, this is an open option for us.
That is also intimidation. It says, "if you don't do what we want, we can use force to come and get what we want."
Hypocrisy, thy name is Hain (and Hague and Cameron and Clegg – otherwise known as the UK parliamentary collective).

Password addendum: more on BT's attitude towards secure passwords
Well, as you know, I got in a bit of a mess over my BT password. All sorted now.
One of the reasons for choosing BT was to avail myself of the 3 million free WiFi hotspots it offers (and yes, when available in the right place, it's a very, very good service). But, oh, those passwords again. My new BT account password didn't work with BT WiFi. Nor was my BT account username recognised by BT WiFi.
So I contacted support. Let's not go into all those recorded messages advising you to check their website for a solution to your problem (which is, of course, that you cannot check their website). No matter. Persist. There is a human being at the end of the monologue. He may not be in the same country, and he is almost certainly difficult to understand – but he exists and is polite so long as you don't venture off the hymn sheet.
Turns out I needed a BT email address which I didn't have. It's OK, he said, I'll give you one now. Which he did. And your password, he said, is…
Whoa, I said. Couldn't you mail it to me? No. What about email, and I'll change it as soon as I get it? No. What about security, I asked? This is secure, he said. What about eavesdropping, I said? It's not possible, he said. This is secure.
OK. He didn't actually know he was talking to me over a VoIP phone which I had on speaker in a crowded – but quiet – room. But, well…
This, he said, is your secure password: paris123.
Umm. If you don't hear from me for a while it's because our local terrorist or his file-sharing brother sniffed the details and used my account before I changed my brand new secure password.
I'm rich! Thank you, Spanish lottery! Just need a bit of help…
HOORAY! I'm rich. I won.
But dear honoured friend, I live in the UK and have a philosophical dislike of the Euro. So, since you are a person of integrity, I believe I can trust you: and I'm offering you 50% – that's nearly €500,000 – to convert my 50% to £Sterling.
All you have to do is send me your name and phone number and we can take it from there. I'll get the full amount paid into your bank account, and you can than transfer my share to my account.
Anyone? Please? Email me…
Hague is preparing the ground for the forcible removal of Assange from the Ecuadorean embassy
Notice the subtle shift in terminology engineered by William Hague in his statement about Assange. "The UK does not accept the principle of diplomatic asylum." The implication is that Assange is not seeking asylum for political reasons, but to escape criminality. As a criminal, there is ample precedent for physical arrest; and Hague is preparing the ground for the forcible removal of Assange from the Ecuadorean embassy. He adds, "the United Kingdom is not a party to any legal instruments which require us to recognise the grant of diplomatic asylum by a foreign embassy in this country."
But there are two points. Assange has not been granted diplomatic asylum, he has been granted political asylum. Hague can play with words as much as he likes; but that's what Ecuador has offered – political asylum. The UK is most certainly bound by the Vienna Convention. Article 22 states, "The premises of the mission shall be inviolable. The agents of the receiving State may not enter them, except with the consent of the head of the mission."
Hague certainly does like to play with words. In further efforts to paint Assange as a criminal, he says, "He faces serious charges in a country with the highest standards of law and where his rights are guaranteed." This is untrue. Assange faces no charges. He has not been charged, far less convicted for anything. He is wanted for questioning. Assange himself has several times offered to answer questions, provided that the questioning is not used as a means to incarcerate and extradite him. And Ecuador offered to deny political asylum if Sweden would guarantee not to extradite Assange to the US. Sweden declined.
Furthermore, Hague's comment about 'rights' being guaranteed is meaningless. Assange is already extradited (legally, not physically) to Sweden. So UK rights are irrelevant. And for onward extradition to the United States, all that is required is for the US to say it will not execute him. So any rights he might have in Sweden are also meaningless – and we all know he will have no rights in the US. He will be classified as a terrorist and taken out of the civilian judicial system and placed into the military system. After that, all bets are off.
This whole process smells. The extent to which the UK government is dissembling in order to comply with US demands despite – and potentially in direct conflict – with its international legal obligations is demeaning. I have no words. Where is our honour? Where is truth? Where is justice? Flushed away down the sewer of British politics.
Assange and the Foreign Office; British foreign policy and Twitter
Well, first the serious bit. Kudos to Ecuador for having more balls to stand up to the bull of Cameron than Cameron has to stand up to Obama. We thought Blair was a poodle to Bush; Cameron is no different to Obama. And if you think I'm extreme, please read this analysis from a retired diplomat: America's Vassal Acts Decisively and Illegally. It's enough to make you ashamed of your own country.
The less serious bit, marginally, is the effect of Twitter on the nation's literature. Consider this official statement on the website of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
It's a bit terse. Terse comes from its short sentences. Short sentences are punchy. They get straight to the point. No frills. Now consider the Foreign Office twitter feed (@foreignoffice):
It's the same statement in four neat, self-contained chunks. British foreign policy is now clearly designed to suit the requirements of Twitter. God, please help us all. However, I'd just like to point out to Mr Hague that if the author had written "Under UK law" rather than "Under our law", he/she would have freed the 140th character for the full stop at the end of the third tweet down. Accuracy is all. I am available.
But then, it seems that the FO cares nothing about international law; so why should it bother about grammatical laws?
WikiLeaks, Antileaks, DDoS, Stratfor and TrapWire
Life is a game of cricket – sometimes you face bouncers, and sometimes beamers; but usually it's spin and swing. The internet is full of spin and swing, with business, government, law enforcement and hackers all trying to spin the news to their own advantage in order to swing public opinion behind their own position. It's called disinformation, and everyone's at it. But like cricket, you only need one ball to spin or swing, and you cannot trust anything ever again.
So with that introductory warning that I really haven't got a clue, we can ask, what's going on with WikiLeaks? This is one possibility. It's all down to TrapWire and the information about TrapWire coming out of the latest WikiLeaks Stratfor emails.
TrapWire seems to be an international surveillance system centred in and run by the US. It makes Cameron's Communications Bill look pedestrian. That's not strictly accurate, since the Communications Bill watches people's cyber movements, while TrapWire watches real world movements; that is, pedestrians (and cars and anything else that moves). It connects the nation's CCTV surveillance cameras. As an aside, we can be pretty confident that when (not if) the US gets its Cybersecurity Act, that data will be connected to the TrapWire data. What's more worrying for Brits is that when (not if) Cameron gets his Communications Bill into an Act, that data will also be connected to TrapWire.
This latter is just conjecture, but look at the parallels in UKUSA and do the math. Also consider this from one of the WikiLeaks emails (dated 22 September 2010):
This week, 500 surveillance cameras were activated on the NYC subway system to focus on pre-operational terrorist surveillance. The surveillance technology is also operational on high value targets (HVTs) in DC, Las Vegas, Los Angeles and London and is called TrapWire (www.abraxasapps.com).
So TrapWire was already operational in the UK almost a year ago.
Well, of course I checked on the Abraxas site (a company apparently populated by a high density of ex-CIA staff), but got nowhere.
It's not just me.
There's no buzz on the internet (yet at least) that Abraxas has been tangoed down by Anonymous (in retaliation for Antileaks taking out WikiLeaks). So – pure conjecture – they've taken it down themselves.
Thank goodness for Google cache (if you're quick, it might still be there…)
It wouldn't be surprising if Abraxas has disconnected itself. This TrapWire thing is big, and the Stratfor emails show it's being used much wider than published. It's bad enough that the UK government wants to spy on its own citizens (using our taxes to pay for it, of course), but that it has already opened the door to facilitate US government spying on the British people is quite simply obscene. Or, to be British, unacceptable. I can't begin to think what the American people will make of it.
So, to go back to the original question, what's going on with WikiLeaks? The obvious conclusion is that it has been taken down (well, effectively blocked) by a continuing DDoS that has been claimed by Antileaks specifically to suppress the emerging information about TrapWire (WikiLeaks is still down as I write this). This is just conjecture on my part; but, well, the dots connect. Under the guise of anti-terrorism western governments will stop at nothing in their determination to have absolute control over us.

"Let's face it, we pay federal income tax as Vermonters -- It's our money!" said former Vt. State Auditor Randy Brock.Brock is fired up about how the state is spending the $171 million -- the federal government allotted Vermont to launch its health care reform law -- commonly known as Obamacare. Brock, a Republican, lost the last gubernatorial election to Governor Peter Shumlin and is an outspoken critic of how the Shumlin administration is managing Vermont Health Connect. Under the Affordable Care Act, each state must design its own online health insurance exchange or allow the feds to do it for them. Vermont chose to take its share of the federal money and go it alone. "This is a confusing transformation to the way Americans and Vermonters buy healthcare. It's why Congress gave money for education efforts and it's why we took the money and we spent it. And I think we spent it wisely," said Governor Peter Shumlin.The state hired several companies to bring the changes to life. The work didn't come cheap and in many cases WCAX discovered the costs continue to rise."Many of these contracts were no bid contracts -- they were executed without competitive bidding," Brock said.WCAX dug into the documents detailing the largest no-bid contract. It was awarded to Canadian IT giant CGI. An administrative memo shows the deal went forward after negotiations with a another vendor fell apart. Looming federal deadlines didn't give Vermont enough time to shop around. Out of time, the Shumlin administration signed an expedited contract with CGI, the same vendor building the botched federal website -- healthcare.gov. CGI's original contract with Vermont was for $42,470,347. Three revisions later, the cost doubled to $83,998,004 -- and the website still isn't working. Just last week Governor Shumlin defended CGI. "We expect to get what we paid for and I'm confident that we will," Shumlin said.Another internal note from the Vermont Health Access Department reveals the work of HES advisors was not put out to bid either, citing a need to meet the administration's tight timelines. The Connecticut company was hired last year for $605,000 to help research and plan the exchange. The cost of that project is now up to $1,993,290 -- or a 229% increase.Then there's the no-bid contract for Vermont Health Connect's Public Relations and Media Plan. Richmond, Vermont based ad agency HMC was contracted to develop the exchange's ad campaign and buy commercial time. State officials say they didn't shop around because HMC already has a long standing agreement with the state to place all of its media ads. The original cost of that contract was $90,000. Today -- the price tag is $2,290,000, or a 2,444% increase.But even in cases where there were multiple vendors competing for work, the contracts still ballooned. Wakely Consulting Group is one example. The Boston-based health care consulting firm was hired to handle the exchange's operations, finance and enrollment with a winning bid of $1,499,988. But five contract amendments later, the firm upped its price by 308% and is now charging Vermont $6,122,624 for the job.Then there's GMMB's contract. The DC-based advertising and political consulting firm was hired to train the exchange navigators and design an education and outreach campaign. An internal memo states GMMB beat out five other vendors, with a winning bid of $669,700. But after three contract revisions, the cost of this project jumped 326%, to $2,852,288.It's consistent contract increases like these that have Randy Brock concerned. He's a financial risk advisor and a certified fraud examiner.
"From the state's perspective it can then add to a contract in any way, shape or form it wishes, without additional scrutiny. It gives the state a great deal more flexibility, but whether that flexibility is proper is a real question," Brock said.Reporter Jennifer Reading: Some of these contracts have ballooned incredibly, are you concerned?Gov. Peter Shumlin: I just want to be clear. If there's a contract that has quote, unquote ballooned incredibly, it's because we've asked them to do an incredible amount more work than they originally contracted for."You would normally think when people prepare contracts, they should know what the contract value ought to be and the scope of the contract at least for the next year," Brock said.The Shumlin administration tells WCAX the federal government not only monitors how Vermont is spending its share of the health care money, but also reviews and approves every contract change.Reporter Jennifer Reading: So why not throw them out to the bidding process again once you realized the scope of work had changed so much to see if you can't get Vermonters a better deal? Gov. Peter Shumlin: I can tell you when someone is in designing a technology system and they're in there doing the work and you have an opportunity to expand the scope of that work so that agencies can talk to each other and deliver a more efficient government in the future, it very rarely makes sense to change vendors at that point.But can the governor guarantee Vermonters are getting the best bang for their taxpayer bucks?"I'm cheap. I'm tight with all money, whether it's Vermont taxpayer money or federal money, I treat it like it's my own, and I can assure you that money is not flying around -- things aren't happening haphazardly here."Governor Shumlin announced Thursday the state will seek financial penalties against CGI because of website glitches. WCAX reached out to Vermont's current auditor, Doug Hoffer. He says he intends to investigate a number of aspects of the health care rollout because it involves a great deal of money, but declined to offer specifics on when that audit may occur.

GREENFIELD, N.Y. - A two-count indictment has been handed up against 27-year-old Joshua McWain, a Greenfield man accused of murdering his mother.
Saratoga County District Attorney James Murphy says McWain, of 370 Daniels Road Lot 20, is charged with Murder 2nd-degree and Tampering with Physical Evidence.
The grand jury alleged that McWain intentionally caused the death of his mother, Carol Stanford, on October 27th. Stanford's body was discovered by the Sheriff's Department in a shed beneath the floor accessible by a trap door.
Murphy says neighbors noticed Stanford's disappearance and called the Sheriff's Department to request that officers check on the welfare of her. Since no one had heard from or seen her in some time, officers conducted the "welfare check" of Stanford, which ultimately led to the discovery of her body.
McWain will be arraigned on the charges in the next few days. He is presently in the Saratoga County Jail on no bail.

Well, this explains last week's double-barreled video release.
As is only fit for an artiste who's banked more than 70 new songs—and isn't afraid to crow about it—in recent months, Beyoncé has revealed her much-hyped new record will in fact be a double album named in part after her infamous stage persona alter ego.
I Am...Sasha Fierce is due out Nov. 18, and Beyoncé is already doing her best to provide enough recycled backstory for the album's title to satiate even the most detail-hungry fan.
"The new record is a double album and has two covers, like a magazine would have two covers," her Fierceness explained. "One of the covers is named I Am… and then the second cover is named Sasha Fierce. That is my alter ego and now she has a last name."
As promised, the format will allow Beyoncé to take a more personal and expansive approach to the music, showcasing the two sides of her personality.
"I have someone else that takes over when it's time for me to work and when I'm on stage, this alter ego that I've created that kind of protects me and who I really am. That's why half the record, I Am..., is about who I am underneath all the makeup, underneath the light, and underneath all the exciting star drama."
And as for that other "exciting star drama"-laden half...
"Sasha Fierce is the fun, more sensual, more aggressive, more outspoken side and more glamorous side that comes out when I'm working and when I'm on the stage."
The first hints of each were released to the world earlier this month, with singles from both albums simultaneously let loose into the ether—"If I Were A Boy," from I Am..., and "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)," from Sasha Fierce.
The 26-year-old Grammy winner, who earlier this month called the forthcoming opus her "musical baby," now says the twofer record will be her most revealing work to date.
"The double album allows me to take more risks and really step out of myself, or shall I say, step more into myself, and reveal a side of me that only people who know me see."

Andre Carson, Representative (D) from Indiana and member of the Congressional Black Caucus, must think that the call for less incendiary rhetoric was for ye and not for he:
[Carson] said at a CBC event in Miami that some in Congress would "love to see us as second-class citizens" and "some of them in Congress right now of this tea party movement would love to see you and me … hanging on a tree."
Note that Carson is not just accusing Tea Party members of wanting to lynch black people. He's accusing some of his (unnamed) Congressional colleagues of wanting to lynch black people.
One might think such remarks would result in a call for Congressional censure, but I wouldn't sit on a hot stove till that happened. Nor am I expecting Carson to apologize or take back his remarks in any way; so far his office says he stands by them.
An interesting background item on Carson is that he was one of the legislators who claimed in March of 2010 that he and other black members of Congress were called the n-word by some Tea Party demonstrators, an allegation that remains unsubstantiated by the many videos taken of the incident. Nevertheless, the accusation was highly effective in branding Tea Party activists as racists. But perhaps not effective enough for Carson.

You know, that one that I tried (with no success) convincing everyone was going to be a stud WR in the league, at wurst a great #2 or good #1? Yeah, he sure wouldn't come in handy right now, having a tall, big bodied WR with really good hands and excellent route running, we certainly wouldn't want someone like that starting. We have DHB! Look at Allen's 40 time if you want a chuckle. What did he run, a 4.6? Lmao, he'll never be good. And he had that injury too. You dint want someone who was injured one time.
How nice would it be to have TY and Allen on the field right now, instead of Hilton and DHB? We wouldn't be worried about who would be catching 3rd down passes with Allen running out there. He would have even worth our first. He absolutely would have been worth trading up in the 3rd after he fell.

Don't worry that the ribs will be too spicy. The long, slow cooking process mellows the spices so much that these ribs just taste sweet, not spicy at all.
You can even cook these short ribs from a frozen state without thawing. Just turn the slow cooker onto high for an hour, then turn it down to low for the rest of the cooking time. The short ribs will turn out perfectly
Serve these ribs with roasted potatoes or garlic mashed potatoes and braised asparagus.

Me… Had to read "The Hobbit" at school, hated it… Dipped briefly into "Lord of the Rings" and thought it a load of crap.
The wife likes it though.
There's something bloody odd about your comments function at the moment (or I'm finally giving way to the ravages of senility) – I could have sworn that I posted this in response to "Nazgalled".
Have we received the ransom note yet? Or maybe someone found the pictures.
Yeah, that must be it. I haven't been reading much of the WikiPiss stuff but does Nick get a mention?

EYEWITNESS LOCAL NEWSHome Water Testing Continues In Nine Affected Counties
from Eyewitness News Online
Reported: Feb. 14, 2014 11:00 AM EST
Updated: Feb. 14, 2014 1:01 PM EST
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (Leslie Rubin) -- In what's being called an unprecedented project, home water testing continues across the nine counties affected by the Jan. 9 Elk River chemical spill at Freedom Industries.
Eyewitness News spoke with one of the leaders of the independent team conducting those tests.
Dr. Andrew Whelton from the University of South Alabama said it will be several more weeks before we start to see the results of their tests.
Ten homes were chosen across the affected area. Whelton said there were about 60 samples taken in each of those homes at a cost of about $10,000 to $20,000 a home. Those samples have been shipped to California, Louisiana and Pennsylvania, and some are staying in West Virginia to be analyzed.
Whelton said that since Sunday, they have been contacting experts from around the world -- people who deal specifically with chemicals and associated health risks -- to put together a panel of experts who will review the 10 part per billion screening level for MCHM. They also have shipped samples of MCHM and Crude MCHM across the country to determine odor threshold levels.
Whelton said once testing is complete on the 10 homes, they will begin a larger scale sampling initiative that could include up to thousands of homes.

TALLAHASSEE: Flanked by family members, state lawmakers and supporters, Republican Rick Scott took the oath to officially become Florida's 45th governor. He didn't waste any time and got to work right away.
In between inaugural events, speeches and shaking hands, Scott began living up to his campaign promise, "Let's get to work."
Scott says creating new jobs remains one of his priorities.
"Job creation is an absolute mission," said Scott.
He has new ideas to fulfill that mission.
"We need to manufacture more things in Florida," said Scott.
He has a slew of challenges- inherited by previous administrations
Florida's unemployment rate hovers at 12 percent, the housing market is in shambles and the state is over budget by billions.
"Our current problems are solvable," said Scott.
Job creation continues to be Rick Scott's number one priority, but he's up against more than a million unemployed Floridians.
This is an entirely new experience for Scott who will use his business background to run state government.
Following his own motto "let's get to work" he is doing just that
After his inaugural speech, Scott signed an executive order prohibiting state agencies from making new rules without his approval.
Then he signed another requiring state agencies use the E-verify system when hiring new employees.
He knows being governor won't be easy. He says the first 100 days are crucial and it's time for him to deliver and follow-through.
"I believe in this mission," said Scott.
Only time will tell if Scott can create change.

President Shimon Peres on Wednesday urged US Secretary of State John Kerry not to allow anything to interrupt his mission for peace.
Kerry met with Peres following his meeting with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.
Peres told Kerry that he had the deepest respect and appreciation for Kerry's "unmatched energy and devotion" in his bid to resolve "such a complicated situation" which keeps changing all the time, necessitating that Kerry should move faster than the situation. Peres acknowledged that it was not simple because everyone involved has "to take cautious decisions" but with all the complications he was convinced that "none of us have a better alternative to peace."
Commending Kerry not only for his unflagging dedication in the face of difficulties, Peres said: "I can't remember such a combination of wisdom and energy."
Relating to the two most constantly discussed issues by the Israeli leadership, Peres said: "Our greatest danger is Iran. Our greatest hope is peace."
Unless Tehran changes its policy, he said, "the Iranians should know that the situation is dangerous for them too. The Palestinians know that there is no real alternative for them as there is no alternative for us."
Peres reiterated that the two-state solution is the only viable solution for peace.
Pledging that he would do all that he could to support Kerry in his mission, Peres said: "You are running the show with the expectations of the world."
Kerry responded that Peres is not only a good friend but a mentor and an inspiration. He had also found inspiration the previous day he said when he stood at the site of Yitzhak Rabin's assassination. He had been inspired because Rabin had fought for peace so many years ago, he said, "and the least we can do is follow his example. This is not a mission impossible. It can happen."
In order for it to happen, Kerry continued, it will require both leaders to make big, historic decisions, "but it is in the interests of both their countries."
With regard to Iran, Kerry said he hoped that Iran will understand "that it's a simple obligation to show the world you are pursuing a peaceful program."

Researchers found elevated levels of serum C-reactive protein (CRP) a protein associated with inflammation in cocaine abusers were associated with endothelial abnormalities and coronary artery calcification. Both are factors known to contribute to heart disease.
The Johns Hopkins University study included 53 African-American adults between ages 25 and 45 with a history of cocaine use. They were all given a variety of tests, including an echocardiographic examination, spiral computed tomography (CT) scans to look for coronary calcification, analysis of blood for serum cholesterol and CRP, and an evaluation of endothelial function.
The results of the tests showed that 45 percent of the participants had serum CRP levels above the normal range of the general population. Those with elevated CRP had greater endothelial abnormalities and more coronary calcification than those with normal CRP levels.
"The findings in this study suggest that many chronic cocaine users have elevated levels of serum CRP, which are associated with subclinical coronary atherosclerosis and cardiac abnormalities. This study provides more evidence that cocaine use may contribute to the development of coronary artery disease," according to a report by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, which funded the study.
Source: The study was published by lead investigator Dr. Shenghan Lai at Johns Hopkins University in the International Journal of Cardiology.

First of all, I'm not sure how this community looks upon soft modded wiis.
But to my question: I saw a program a while ago (wish I would have grabbed it then) that would allow you to play .wad files from your wbfs loader screen.
If I could load .wad files from my WBFS dedicated hard drive, that would be awesome.

My husband and I got into an argument the other night.
It wasn't a big deal. We didn't yell or scream or call each other names.
But we raised our voices slightly and showed irritation with each other. That happens sometimes. We're human.
Our 3-year-old daughter was sitting with us. She didn't like what she heard.
I looked at her and could see the sad look on her face. Then, she started to cry.
It broke my heart. My husband hugged her. Then I did. I asked her if we were too loud. She nodded her head. I told her I was sorry. Then I cried, too.
I explained to her that daddy and I argue sometimes, but we weren't mad at her. I told her daddy and I love each other and that it was OK. Then Jay and I kissed and made up.
It makes me feel badly to write this. Acknowledging that I made my child cry is difficult. So is acknowledging that I argue with my husband, sometimes in front of her.
But it happens sometimes. Fortunately for us, it doesn't happen often and for the most part, our arguments are civil and respectful.
My instinct is to vow that I never want to argue again, especially in front of our daughter.
But I know that's unrealistic. Everyone gets in disagreements sometimes. If you didn't, that could be a sign of bigger problems: holding everything in until resentment builds up and a wedge forms between you.
It reminds me of a fascinating story I heard on the radio years ago. It was about research on couples who stayed together versus those who didn't.
The findings were somewhat surprising to me: Couples who argued tended to stay together. Couples who didn't tended to separate.
But there was one key caveat about the couples who argued: Those who resolved their disagreements were happier and more successful than couples who argued and never got anywhere. Resolving the argument was critical.
The research also showed that it was important for children to see their parents resolve the argument. They need to know that disagreements can lead to a happy, or at least satisfactory, conclusion.
So when Jay and I argue, that's what I keep in mind. I want Julia to see that although we don't always agree, we can find common ground and kiss and make up.

Christmas Loko
3:32pm Wednesday 7th December 2011 in Literature
I went along to Tesco, one Friday in July And there I saw an item – that I greeted with a sigh, For, there on a special counter, for everyone to see, 'Aunt Bessie's Christmas Pudding – buy one get one free,' 'Best before November' said the notice on the label, So that's no blooming good – to grace the Christmas table.
In August while at Blackpool, I thought I'd buy some rock.
The lady said she'd sold out, but had Christmas cards in stock.
September saw me thinking, of daffodils for next year, I know at our local garden centre – they quickly disappear.
But I was disappointed, and saddened by the sights, For the only bulbs that I could find, were those for Christmas lights.
When the nights get shorter, Father Christmas is about, It may still be October, but from school the kids are out.
They visit Santa with their parents, but don't sit on his knee, For if they do, he'll be accused of being non – PC!
I can tell it is November, when he jingles on TV Say: 'Go to Tesco's for your gifts, and have a spending spree.
Penny for the Guy, Sir, and a carol shall we sing, 'To save us coming round again – To give your bell a ring?' The cards are now arriving, December in with a burst, The post is late, hey what's the date? I see, it's just the first.
The folk across the road from us, think it's quite exciting, To deck the house, from roof to ground, with fancy electric lighting.
On Christmas Eve we needed milk, so I went into town.
Not a sight of Christmas – all the lights were down.
Not one Christmas pudding, all mince pies were gone, Just a load of bric – a – brac, and a big sign saying 'Sale now on'.
'But across in one corner – For everyone to see, Cadbury's giant Easter eggs – buy one, get one free!'.

Cleveland Metroparks Zoo is saddened to report the death of its female polar bear, "Aurora." The 30-year-old bear had been showing signs of steadily deteriorating health for the last several months. Last spring, Zoo veterinarians gave the bear a thorough exam and found evidence of liver cancer. The veterinarians determined that the cancer was at such an advanced stage that treatment was not a viable option. Since then, Aurora's keepers and the veterinary staff kept a close watch on her behavior for signs of discomfort and to monitor for quality of life issues. Over the last two days it was determined that her condition had significantly worsened and the Veterinary and Animal Care staff made the difficult decision to euthanize her on Monday. "It's never an easy decision to euthanize an animal," said the Zoo's General Curator, Andi Kornak. "Aurora enjoyed a long life and she was a favorite of both guests and staff. But her condition was beyond treatment and we made the humane choice after assessing her quality of life." Aurora was born at Cleveland Metroparks Zoo on November 13, 1982. She did some traveling before finally returning to Cleveland in 2001, spending time in the Ruhr Zoo in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, the Milwaukee County Zoo and the Henry Vilas Zoo in Madison, Wisconsin. Female polar bears have an average life expectancy of 24 years in zoos. Polar bears are the largest land predator in the world, capable of reaching up to 8 feet long and 1,600 pounds for a full-grown male. They are classified as "vulnerable" in the wild by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.

Puako Condos or Studios(12)
12 Results
Recent Puako Reviews
Excellent Rental
This Condo had everything we needed. Plenty of beach equipment for our family of 5. Kitchen well equipped. Just a couple of minute drive from our favorite beach, Hapuna. Easy to come and go for lunch. Would choose this condo again. Very quiet complex to stay in.
Quiet, Convenient Condo - great value vacation
Puako is my idea of a perfect place to stay. It's small and charming, with a quaint country store and walkable streets. Why stay in a cookie cutter resort? This condo is typical of the time it was built, unpretentious and comfortable. Although unit is on the first floor, it is very quiet and the shrubs shield the lanai so it doesn't feel exposed (just ask the gekkos). Having 2 full bathrooms is a big plus. The small galley style kitchen is well equipped (I'd love to see a liquid measuring cup,but that's just me). The condo has a closet of assorted beach gear to use and lots of towels. The washer & dryer came in handy and we used the gas grill daily. Bedrooms all have ceiling fans. (NOTE: keeping sliding doors and entry door open allows air to flow freely and condo stays cool ) The condo bldg has a great pool or you could walk a few minutes to access Puako bay for swimming and snorkeling. The building has recycling bins (yeah!! - I love to recycle - feels like home) Bonus feature: building has its own lemon, lime, and grapefruit trees and we were lucky enough to get some of the fruit. Puako is centrally located and we easily drove up and down the coast for touring , beaching (Hapuna and A' beach), and shopping. I highly recommend going to the local fish market in Kawaihae ( on Hgwy 270, about a 10 minute drive) and across the street from the fish market is Avenue Shave Ice, the BEST shave ice we found on the island. The condo owner is very nice to work with and takes time to make sure instructions and everything are in order. She even called me by phone to answer my questions directly rather than play tag with email. It's chancey to rent off the web, but Karen is trustworthy. I'm saving my pennies to go back there.

Celebrate Fall
This time of year, trips to the apple orchard or the pumpkin patch are at a premium as kids and parents scramble to squeeze in some fun before the winter weather. Penny Warner, author of Kids' Outdoor Parties (Meadowbrook Press, 1999), suggests a way to "open the doors to the great outdoors" by throwing a hayride party for kids. Warner suggests the following activities for your autumn frolic.
Hay Ride
Use the phone book to locate someone who hosts hayrides. Nearly every community has a rural area with a farm that offers this fun activity.
Harmonica Hayfest
Provide harmonicas to all the guests so they can play some tunes on the hayride. Teach the kids how to play a few simple tunes, such as "She'll Be Coming Round the Mountain," "On Top of Old Smokey (or Spaghetti)" or "Over the River and Through the Woods."
Hayride Songfest
When the kids get tired of the harmonicas, let them sing songs as they ride around the farm or ranch. Bring along an inexpensive songbook for ideas and lyrics. You can also make photocopies of the words if you prefer the kids to sing on their own. Great songs for hayrides include "Old MacDonald," "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" and "Make New Friends."
Hay Painting
Cover a picnic table with newspapers. Give each guest several sheets of white paper. Set out poster paints and sprinkle the table with hay. Have the kids paint their pictures on the paper using the hay as brushes.
Gather some old clothes, accessories (such as eyeglasses, hats, gloves, scarves and jewelry) and lots of hay. Divide the group into teams and have each team create their own scarecrow. Consider using pumpkins for the heads.
Refresh your rosy-cheeked guests with this fabulous fare:
- Have a picnic on your hayride with easy-to-eat sandwiches, chips and canned drinks.
- Make Chocolate Haystacks for dessert. Melt chocolate chips in a small pot, pour in shredded wheat cereal and cover with chocolate. Heap spoonfuls of the concoction onto waxed paper. Serve when cool.
- Give the kids trail mix for the hayride trail.
"The great outdoors is the perfect place for hosting a children's party, no matter what the season," says Warner. "There's plenty of open space, lots of natural decorations and the options for fun are limitless!"

Shipped quckly and in perfect condition. It was priced fairly compaired to some other websites I searched.
How do you review one of the best movies ever made? It is a timeless story and one that I could watch a hundred times and never tire of this magnificent work of art!
I purchased the dvd from OVERSTOCK for a birthday gift. My daughter loved it! The movie has always been a favorite of hers and when received she watched the movie immediately. The picture and sound quality of the movie was excellent! My daughter has another movie to add to her collection. I save so much time and money when ordering from OVERSTOCK! :-)
Movie came in good condition. This is one of my all time favorites.
This was a present for my wife who loves the movie and the book. We finally had a new home theater system and it was the first dvd we tried on it. Besides watching the movie for the hundredth time and being able to hear the sound effects there is a great alternate sound track that explains facts about the movie while it is playing.
I have written a previous reveiw for the book (I bought them at the same time) and the same look of wear was on the protective slipcase. The edges were already frayed! Still, it was at an excellent price so if you look past the obvious abuse, you will be satisfied.

£13m plans for faster broadband get county's vote
6:00pm Thursday 14th February 2013 in Countywide
OXFORDSHIRE business and residents have said an overwhelming 'yes' to a multi-million pound broadband scheme.
Oxfordshire County Council consulted to uncover the level of demand after announcing plans to pump £13.86m into faster and more reliable connections by 2015.
Twenty one per cent of the 6,032 residents who responed claimed to have connections of less than 1Mbps – among the slowest available.
All of them, and 99 per cent of businesses that responded, said they would upgrade to a better connection if available.
Almost half said they would be willing to double the price they currently pay to get better speeds.
Leafield, near Witney, logged the highest number of responses per village or parish with 123.
The county council said it was still looking for parish broadband champions to help rural villages become more connected.
It currently has 253 people registered covering 173 parishes, but 173 parishes still do not have a representative to push for their broadband needs.
An announcement on the project is next expected in late spring.
Infrastructure improvements are expected to be delivered by the successful provider from 2013 onwards.

Judge Edward Hogshire retired earlier this week after 16 years on the bench in Charlottesville Circuit Court. Hogshire is now reflecting on his judicial service - hoping in retirement people remember him as a fair judge who listened inside the courtroom.
Simply put, Hogshire says the job isn't easy.
"I can't play God. I can't judge them in the eyes of a higher power," said Hogshire.
Hogshire says there has to be substantial justice.
"Whatever that means. You have to define it in your own context, but if I've done that, then it's the best I can hope for," said Hogshire.
Hogshire says he has struggled through some tough cases throughout his judgeship, but adds he has to apply the law in Virginia with compassion.
"We have to look deep down and say what is the right thing to do with a capital 'R' that's consistent with the law and ethics. And then you do that and then you gotta leave it here, because if you take it home, it will drive you crazy," he said.
But one case in particular Hogshire couldn't leave here. It was an alleged sexual assault involving a teenager. The case had no DNA evidence; strictly credibility. After the fact, Hogshire called his own judgment into question and threw out his decision.
"It caused me so much angst that I sort of vowed from then on I'd never have a false like that without a jury," said Hogshire.
Over time, advances in evidence collection and technology are now forcing more guilty pleas inside the courtroom. Hogshire says access to DNA as well as computer and cellphone records make cases easier to prosecute - but if it's a case of he said/she said, Hogshire says it can be a coin toss.
"I'm fooled every day, I can tell you that," said Hogshire. "You have to make those calls and they're hard to make. They're hard to make."
Hogshire's time on the bench came to a close on Monday – but after some time off, he will return to the bench to help out as a substitute.

Tonight's Touchstone Energy Scholar of the Week is Kayla Vanden Hoek from Corsica High School. Right now, Kayla has a 3.8 grade point average and she has that as the result of a lot of hard work that involves classes that are far from easy.
Kayla Vanden Hoek told us something that you rarely hear from students in their senior year of high school. "Those math and science classes are my favorite." And she should know, because those types of classes are predominate in her class schedule as she heads towards graduation day. "Well I'm taking economics, I did take psychology...I really like psychology...but right now I'm taking economics, college English, Physics, independent PE and band."
She says she enjoys all of these classes and that is a good thing; it not only benefits her but it also benefits those around here. This is what social studies teacher Wade Gall told us about Kayla in class. "She interacts very very well...always very inquisitive....on certain topics...if she has a question she's not afraid to ask. So that's always a good thing ...it really starts conversations within the class."
And that good attitude...and a sense of duty and caring...will lead Kayla into the future. Listen to what she told us about her part-time job and the impact it has had on her. "I've been working at the Good Samaritan since I was 16 years old. I really like helping out the residents and stuff. I'm a CNA so I kinda just listen to what the nurses tell me to do and get them up in the morning. help them clean themselves and really I like doing that a lot so that's why I decided to pursue my area of ...you know....going onto school and the medical field."
For being named our Scholar of the Week, Kayla will receive a $100 scholarship from Douglas Electric Cooperative, which is a local Touchstone Energy cooperative.

Tipping the Scales?
The wait is over! The intense grand cross in cardinal signs in April's forecast is already in edge-of-your-seats play.
Here comes a spike of intensity, with the Total Lunar Eclipse (April 15th) in cardinal sign Libra. At this big event, the luminaries Sun and Moon are at 25 degrees Libra, and Mars is at 16 Libra, charging the air with big passion and wakefulness.
Great powers of creativity and destruction are doing their thing. How are you directing it? Cardinal signs (Aries - Cancer - Libra - Capricorn) are especially in the crucible. Sometimes inner and outer whammies happen at the eclipse that have a reverberating or life-altering effect.
Be curious about your expectations themselves. The Aries-Libra line is especially flashing for some Full Moon illumination. Aries is inspired action and Libra is action along with the equally charged expectation of a response. In this experiment called life, there's acting with willpower, and using our creative intelligence. And then there's the balancing act of playing off others' intent and creations.
The Libra hot spot has to do with reactions, and how we know ourselves from how others see us. Libra themes are up now, like relating, fair play, the instinct for harmony, acting on the conscience.
Thinking of a Libra eclipse, some could have explosive encounters, break-ups or make-ups, taking a stand, or taking the alternate route. The Aries-Libra line gets edgy with other cardinals Cancer-Capricorn. Cardinal energy is initiating, so think of this as a potential initiation.
Even if you don't read astrological charts, a look at the Chart for Total Lunar Eclipse shows clearly the cross (the box), also known as the Grand Square. The squares there represent tense angles, and the cross lines in the square are the oppositions.
There's initiatory stress, and some may experience this as outer events forcing change. Others may experience a lot of inner tension. The pressure of squares and oppositions seeks an outlet -- something has to give!
I keep thinking about astrologer Jessica Murray's simple tip to Live Through Your Chart during a previous cardinal cross. On the cardinal menu are times of ordeals, unexpected growth and growing pains, fresh pathways and dramatic endings and/or beginnings. And with Aries electrified by Uranus (the divine spark, there is vital energy in a return to the self and your individual path. There can be great leaps now, when you are actively living your soul's purpose.
Blood Moon
Why does the Moon sometimes turn coppery-red during a lunar eclipse?
What we're seeing is the sunlight through the Earth's atmosphere, with the green to violet spectrum filtered out. A total eclipse of the Moon means the Earth's shadow is cast there on the lunar face.
First we see a dark cookie-shaped shadow, and then when the eclipse reaches totality, that's when the Moon appears to turn a shade of red.
A Good Read
One meme of our time is waking up to the ways human evolution is controlled, directed or even stunted. And with this, an awakening to the plutocracy, also known as the oligarchy -- a centuries-old hierarchy of control that goes back to ancient times.
These turning points can mean dramatic events for the human struggle to free itself from different kinds of bondage. And yet, it all begins with the self (as stated above) and living out your calling. This can be a seminal moment, to bring energy back to the self, instead of serving it up to the existing paradigm-machine.
From Ishtar's Gate: Blood Moon: A Matter of Life and Death: "So how do we get out of their Death Spiral …
We have to dance out of it, I'm finding, into the Life Spiral – and it's just about how we re-empower ourselves, out of being helpless victims forced to watch one atrocity after another, into free-thinking individuals engaging with life-fulfilling thoughts and activities."
This backs my own thinking of late, to use the intensity of April, to reinvigorate the sense of destiny. And to make sure personally, I'm using my creative energy to serve life, not death.
I wrote about April's cardinal peaks in Facing Plutocracy, Freeing Humanity.
And yet, that begins with each one of us freeing ourselves....and being a living example of what's possible.
Jupiter & Big Love
If there's angst and high drama, there's a rare warmth of heart, with Jupiter (Cancer) in a sweet angle to Venus (Pisces), and Neptune.
Be on the lookout for serendipity in hard-to-miss vivid technicolor. There can be a revival of faith, and a sense of a role to play. And that sometimes gentle, kind, protective actions speak louder than words.

Full Color Printing
Catch their eyes. Never underestimate the power of color. It's bright, attractive and eye-catching. In fact, research shows color makes it easier to capture a reader's interest. It aslo enhances readability and improves message retention. And aren't those exactly the things you want your print pieces to do? We suggest you give color a good look. Use it whenever you can. We can help with color printing capabilities-from offset to digital and even high-speed copying-that will give you a rainbow of choices. Call us. We can talk a blue streak about color.
Digital Color Printing
A smart solution for the short run. You've probably faced this familiar challenge: you need to print something in color, but the quantity is too small to make offset printing a smart move. May we suggest something smarter-and more economical? digital color printing is a remarkable way to ensure high-quality output (yes,better than your office laser) for low quantity needs. We can print digital files directly from a computer to our digital printer without having to make film or plates. Not only does that give you real dollar savings (because you order only the quantities needed: 5,10 or 25), it also means full color with no compromise; color you've got to see to believe. That's not just smart, that's brilliant.

In my creative past (in the craft and hobby industry), I attended several tradeshows for businesses in the creative industry. Often I shared a room with Lisa, Vicki, Phyllis – sometimes Jill, Marie and others. Never was there a trip where craft materials and tools weren't part of the suitcase contents!
Since I was attending BlogHer (an event with smart, savvy women – see the Girlfriendology blog for more updates) this week and I want every woman to know about Girlfriendology, I made the above pendant to wear. And, like at the craft tradeshows (and usually accompanied by my creative roomies), I made it in the hotel room – the night before the event. Actually, this project took a little prep – I had to print off the words (Girlfriendology logo, Podcasts, Contests, etc.) on Shrinky Dink (white) and heat/shrink them before I left for the trip. Then I packed a clasp, yarn, beads and wire in my suitcase and off to NYC I went! In the hotel room, I put it all together for this pendant.
I think it created some buzz for Girlfriendology. I know it generated some conversations and the opportunity to spread the word about what Girlfriendology is and what I am doing to building a global girlfriend revolution! (Watch out world!)
In addition to Girlfriendology clothing and carrying my Girlfriendology "Stand by your man, but sit by your girlfriends" bag, I need to make some more creative jewelry to start the conversation with women on why they need to appreciate and celebrate their female friendships. You're creative – any ideas?! Thanks Girlfriends!
p.s. I just wish some of my creative girlfriends had been there with me! (Even if you snore – Vicki and Jill!)

Exactly nine days after Dave Wannstedt abruptly resigned (winkwink nudgenudge), Pittsburgh has officially announced the hiring of their next head coach.
The school announced the hiring of Michael Haywood Thursday afternoon, more than 24 hours after word first surfaced that the ex-Miami of Ohio head coach had emerged as the leading contender for the job. The 46-year-old Haywood becomes the 35th head coach in the school's history and, as noted in the press release, the first who is of the African-American persuasion.
"From my very first meeting with Michael Haywood, it was obvious that the qualities he exhibited were in line with the values of this great University," athletic director Steve Pederson said in a statement. "Michael has tremendous pedigree, having been mentored by some of the very best coaches in the game. His history at outstanding programs with outstanding coaches gave him a rare combination of experiences and background. Most importantly, Michael is a man of character and integrity and will be an inspirational leader for our football program."
"I would like to sincerely thank Chancellor Nordenberg and Steve Pederson for the opportunity to become the head football coach at the University of Pittsburgh," said Haywood. "It is an honor and privilege to join such an accomplished academic institution and historic football program. I'm looking forward to the challenges and opportunities we will have as we work to achieve our goal of a Big East championship."
Haywood spent the past two seasons as the head coach of the RedHawks, and also served time on staffs at Notre Dame, Texas and LSU. In a statement released by the school, and perhaps in an attempt to stem the massive tide of a fan backlash, Alabama head coach Nick Saban praised the hiring of his former assistant.
"Mike Haywood is one of the brightest young coaches in college football and he did an outstanding job for us at LSU. He certainly did a fantastic job at Miami in turning that program around. None of this news surprises me because of what he brings to the table in terms of his energy, his enthusiasm, his knowledge of the game, and his ability to recruit. I think he will do a great job at the University of Pittsburgh."
While it was all rainbows and puppies coming out of the school and those connected to Haywood, there was one person who didn't seem the least bit thrilled by the hiring. In fact, he seemed downright bitter. And whiny, quite frankly.
Even a former Miami player, Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, didn't seem all that excited about the news. The Steelers and Pitt share a practice complex on Pittsburgh's South Side.
"He (Haywood) never reached out to me," Roethlisberger said Wednesday. "I don't really know him. I know what helped Miami, Ohio win this year, in my opinion, more than anything, is Brad Bates, the athletic director. What an awesome guy."
Bravo, Big Ben. Bravo. How dare Haywood not reach out to someone of your stature. Why, that's downright criminal of him.
For some reason, the words "Summer's" and "Eve" are running through my mind right about now, and I can't quite figure out why…

you have an 8 peice and you have just started learning?!?
I think it is more likely you aren't counting right, remember when reffering to peices of a kit you do not count your cymbals!
as for songs, metallica is good when you get a little more advanced, drum tutors are worth their weight in gold, and bands and jamming really helps you with things like timming and being creative.

Hazelnut Meringues
For a chocolate-hazelnut version of these meringue cookies, sift in 2 tablespoons cocoa powder when adding the nuts.
Get MoreSubscribe to Martha Stewart Living
- 1 1/4 cups blanched hazelnuts (6 ounces), toasted
- 2 large egg whites, room temperature
- 1 cup confectioners' sugar
- Coarse salt
Cook's Note
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds. In a food processor, pulse hazelnuts until finely ground. In a medium heatproof bowl, combine egg whites, sugar, and pinch of salt. Set bowl over (not in) a pot with 2 inches simmering water and cook, whisking constantly, until warm to the touch, about 3 minutes. Remove bowl from heat and, using an electric mixer, beat mixture on high until thick and glossy, 3 minutes. With a rubber spatula, fold in hazelnuts.
Step 2
Drop batter by heaping tablespoonfuls, 2 inches apart, onto two parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake until cracked on top, about 18 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through. Let meringues cool to room temperature.

Excellent cookies, I'll make these again. Easy, too. I added half-cup of dark chocolate chips in the food processor when chopping the hazelnuts. Also 1 T of cocoa powder.

Homecoming 2013 a roaring success
October 16, 2013
Homecoming 2013 proved to be a roaring success as more than 500 Bryan alumni and their families flooded onto the campus from Friday through Sunday, bringing their memories and traditions with them.
Bryan students enjoying a vivid afternoon
after the Run of Many Colors
During the much-loved annual tailgate lunch, alumni had the chance to greet one another and catch up over a plate of fried chicken. The "Lion Cubs" were invited to get their faces painted and play on giant inflatables and a bounce house manned by the baseball team.
Former Bryan Lions got back into their game during the numerous alumni athletic events, culminating in the presentation of the "All Z Team," a collection of 18 top athletes who played soccer under Dr. Sandy Zensen and who returned to their alma mater to honor him during halftime at the alumni soccer game.
The weekend featured several impressive recognitions and awards announced at Saturday night's Alumni Awards Dinner, opened with special music by the Bryan College Chamber Singers and '03 alumnus Josh Bales. Dr. Gary Phillips spoke on the importance of a biblical worldview, reminding listeners that living intentionally as salt and light in the world takes commitment to seeing oneself and others with God's eyes.
Honored alumni include Alumni of the Year Dr. Donald and Rachel (Paulson) Reed '63, Young Alumni of the Year Josh Bales '03, and Honorary Alumni of the Year Dr. Robert and Nan Coddington. Inducted into the Sports Hall of Fame this year were John Gosse Jr. '99 (soccer) and Ibrahim "Abe" Hadzic '99 (soccer).
Alumni Awards Dinner attendees also celebrated the 100th birthday of James Morring '38, watching a video especially created for him showing photographs of Bryan College in the 1930s set to the popular music of the era; applause echoed through the dining hall when Morring's hundred-candled birthday cake was rolled out to him as everyone sang "Happy Birthday" to him.
Homecoming 2013 ended Sunday night with a free concert by popular Christian rock band Audio Adrenaline. Nearly 800 people from the Bryan College community and surrounding areas packed Rudd Auditorium and belted out the lyrics to favorite tunes such as "Big House" (1994), "Get Down" (1999), "Ocean Floor" (2003), and the band's latest hit "Kings & Queens" (2012). This year's homecoming was indeed one to remember.

Even social media giant and verified celebrity Lady Gaga tangles with occasional social media and index bans?
[Jul. 15]
Going green by using social networking as your primary from of branding and marketing in lieu of killing trees with print advertising ain't always easy. At least that is the moral of the green news story that Lady Gaga and her recent ban from YouTube is teaching. The famously LGBT friendly humanitarian Mother Monster was likely surprised to see her video account was suspended on Thursday July 14. The suspension notice read that the ban on her account was allegedly over "multiple or severe violations of YouTube's copyright policy." Um, in what universe is it that an originator of content gets banned from a social media site or even a search engine for producing original content that people love to copy regularly?
By late in the day on Thursday, the Gaga video account had been restored on the social network, much to the overwhelming delight and cheers from Gaga's Little Monsters fan following.
So why the mixup? In a standard move, YouTube staffers declined to comment. According to the website, one that is owned and controlled by Google, it is standard YouTube policy to remove user accounts entirely after 3 (yes, only three) copyright infringement violations [intentional, unintentional, or internet troll reported verifiable claims or not]. There is just one problem… Lady Gaga writes her own music, sings her own songs, stars in her own videos, and unless there is some unknown celebrity secret behind the scenes stories about her video producers or music company backers not wanting her to self promote, she IS the copyright owner of the content.
Now, regarding that claim, there are some very real ways a company could claim they own the right to her videos. Industry rumor reports are intimating that so-called last straw" infringing video that got her account popped by the bots video clip of Gaga's live perfromance on the Asian company Fuji TV. Her publicist and record label Interscope have neither confirmed or denied the celeb gossip reports that the star is mixed up in a mess involved with the social media promotion of her appearance there — but Gaga, as the wise Mother Monster she is, has been very cautions to keep control of her approved photo released and press. As such, it is likely if the other company was trying to claim rights to share her content exclusively, her lawyers will snuff the claim in such a way that is expedient. Moreover, Google's YouTube company was right to reactivate her account — both because she is the subject and because without her there would BE NO ORIGINAL CONTENT. It is the symbiosis between website or user accounts that provide content to the sites to crawl and the sites being there to index content and the ads placed in between that make the Internet work well.
If you want to follow the verified YouTube account, "ladygagaofficial," is one of two for Lady Gaga. However, despite it's growing popularity, the social media platfrom itself — unlike Gaga, is not the only game in town. The Hollywood star celeb singer also has a Vevo account, which has more than 1.6 billion views. Nothing to scoff at in terms of popularity. What's more, she generally debuts her music videos on that platfrom. It is co-owned by the company Universal Music Group and industry giant Sony Entertainment, and while Vevo is a stand alone music video platfrom, it also distributes videos on YouTube.
That is part of the new weakness in the Google and social media search findings. Because the computers are not yet able to tie together who original content providers are and if multiple websites are sharing similar infromation but in a variety of ways that all appeal to specific niche audiences or visual learners affected by the aesthetic layout of platfroms, the spiders and bots are struggling to identify which sites or site accounts stay on top, who sinks in results findings, and what companies or individuals find themselves banned from the search ranks entirely. Like Lady Gaga.
To resolve the issue, Google could easily implement an automated reconsideration request that allowed banned users to quickly appeal if they found themselves penalized by having the automated feature include a laundry list of items that triggered the ban or penalty. Obviously, if and account was suspended and left uncorrected for X amount of time without contact from a webmaster, banning the site entirely and forcing it to begin from scratch would be prudent. However, no such notification that includes a checklist for a user or webmaster like Gaga's team has been created by the minds of Google or YouTube (or Twitter and Facebook for that matter) yet. Hopefully, such a re-inclusion request process that directly points to where users can improve is coming soon to the Internet giants, one that can constantly be tweaked as the net grows to help keep daily business and a paperless economy flowing.
[Internet advertising on websites that produce intellectual property helps keep people from turning to the promotion of junk mail, newsprint papers, or toxic glossy hand-out literature and hard copy magazines. Such paper based products not only kill trees, their production grossly pollutes the environment, so their use should be avoided as much as possible in the 21st century if one believes in green tech advocacy.]
As such, applause goes to the Gaga little monsters for causing the powers that be to reconsider the inclusion of Lady Gaga's video channel in a matter of hours rather than forcing her off grid for an extended period of time. Applause also goes to the team for fixing the likely spambot error with a manual override quickly. By fixing the celebrity oops, they also kept their own opportunity open to continue to derive adsense revenue from the user-generated content while providing quality search results to those interested in the music mogul's niche.
