Data: When Ureddit was Featured on the Universal Front Page of Reddit
Reddit's general manager, Erik Martin, recently published a blog post about Ureddit. Here is the data from sitting on the universal front page.
For a detailed analysis of how our project host was able to quickly scale and accommodate Ureddit for the influx of traffic, view Anastas' blog post.
On Monday, August 20, the University of Reddit (Ureddit) was featured on the official reddit blog, which then resulted in the blog post sitting on the universal front page of every user that accessed the site over a 2 day period. For a bit of perspective, during the month of December 2011 reddit had almost 35 million unique visitors with the average time on site sitting at 16 minutes per user (that's a long for a website). That would mean around 1.1 million users a day come to reddit and first see the front page. Ureddit was on the front page of reddit for two days, and stood out further due to the admin tag on the submission. Needless to say we had some interesting results, and Anastas, LLC (Ureddit project host) had to quickly adjust to the influx of traffic.
The Blog, the Front Page of Reddit, and the Data
Prior to the post, Ureddit would get anywhere from 550-800 visitors to the site, but the day of the blog post we topped out at 84,996 unique visitors. Needless to say with that amount of traffic variation there was a lot of stress on our server, but Anastas was able to get everything back to working order (all while at his first week into his doctorate program mind you). The blog post submission received 2,850 upvotes and had 689 comments on it. Below are some of the results of the submission and being on the universal front page of reddit:
- Our subreddit more than doubled over 2 days. We had 24,000 subscribers and moved to more than 51,000
- There were 55,982 unique visitors to our subbredit the day of the post, and 22,363 of the subscribed to it
- We had over 200 new requests and offers for classes
- Various forums had their own discussions about starting their own classes [1], or discussing Ureddit in general [2]
- Hours of lost sleep from Anastas and I = Too many to count
Viral Side Effects
Now before we get into the data let's clarify one thing: Viral in this situation is considered to be anything that increased, but was not the subject or highlight of the blog post or Ureddit specifically.
On twitter the specific term "University of Reddit" was used more than 370 times after the blog post was shared, and the specific term "ureddit" was used another 400 times. As seen from the data chart below, there was also a noticeable jump in mentions of "uofreddit" that signifies new classes being created, teachers communicating with their students, and customer support or engagement coming from our twitter feed @uofreddit.
Two other items we were tracking for traffic also had boosts to them as well:
Our cheesy how-to teach a class on the University of Reddit YouTube video went from single digits to 320 views (listed on the subreddit sidebar)
Our class calendar page saw more than 8,800 unique visitors (listed on the subreddit sidebar)
We were also found that one of the sources of traffic to Ureddit was a podcast discussing one of our classes (around 3:16)
From the massive attention we also received a few different results from external parties that were interested in Ureddit. We received several requests for interviews from the press, businesses asking for partnerships, and even the potential to work with a few universities on building out their potential use of an online higher education platform (more on that in the future).
Not everything was a positive result though, as Ureddit is community based there were some common growing pains that occurred. Trolls; so many trolls. At the time we were pretty lax on how our social media accounts were attached to the Ureddit system, so a few trolls realized that they could produce classes with titles that insulted people and it would come out of our Twitter feed.
Anastas to the rescue again! He put in some new measures that increased the moderation of new classes, and I put in an alert system so whenever anything came out of our feed from an automated source I would instantly see it on my phone. So far it has helped us remove any offending classes within 2 minutes of being created. We also added some new community support by adding additional subreddit moderators, and are building out new plans to work more closely with teachers.
So Now What?
We grow! Anastas and I are currently looking at all the great feedback we have received from the community and will be starting to implement them. We have some other things in the works, so stay tuned. If you are interested in working with Ureddit, just let us know. Ureddit is open sourced as well, and there is always room for additional development assistance. To get in touch, email Anastas – [anastas at ureddit dot com]

Tecumseh police have two 8th graders in custody for making threats against the school and have lifted a 'soft lockdown' that was in place for the schools.
The Tecumseh school superintendent tells FOX 25 News police notified them around 9:00 a.m. to lockdown down all the schools as they search for two people.
"They told us we were going to be on lock down and so we had to just stay in our classrooms and couldn't open the doors." Said Tecumseh student Brook Johns."I was kinda shocked. I didn't think anything would happen at our school," added Katelyn Foreman. Brook and Katelynn are both students in Tecumseh schools. Wednesday morning they got quite a surprise. "At the school bus stop, I guess there was a couple of kids possibly talking about coming to school with a gun and shooting somebody," said Tecumseh Assistant Police Chief JR Kidney.
Tecumseh police announced just before 11:30 AM Wednesday they had a boy in custody for making the threat at a bus stop earlier in the day. According to police two boys were talking about shooting someone at school. Fellow students overheard the conversation and alerted teachers who then notified the school district.
Police say they found a toy gun near a drainage ditch at the school. They say students told them it was put there by one of the boys and it looks like a real gun.
"It's scary I don't care if it's a toy or if it's real if they bring it to school it's scary and the threat is there," said Kidney.
Police arrested two 8th graders; one outside the middle school. The other walking down a street a few miles away.
"He basically said he's made bad choices in comments he made," said Kidney.
The schools were kept on lockdown as officials searched for the second student. Around 3:00 PM, police said they had him in custody.
School officials sent out an alert to all parents in the district notifying them of the situation, which impacts all schools.
The school says all students are safe and not in danger.
"It's just scary because we have a little town and it's just weird to have a little town have something like that happen," said Brook.She has a message for the kids behind the threats "What are you thinking? You have your whole life ahead of you. Don't screw up now."

The following post contains SPOILERS for "The Dark Knight Rises."
In thirty years, if people want to know what the reception of "The Dark Knight Rises" was like, I'll refer them to the film itself, and the scenes where the villainous Scarecrow (Cillian Murphy) serves as judge, jury, and executioner of Gotham City's elite in a kangaroo court. "No jury? No witnesses? What kind of justice is this?" asks Commissioner Gordon (Gary Oldman) when he's placed on trial for crimes against the sadistic government led by the evil Bane (Thomas Hardy). "This is not a trial!" Scarecrow replies, "This is merely a sentencing."
That's what it felt like to watch "The Dark Knight Rises" last summer. Before they had even seen the movie, deranged Bat-fans had already passed judgment; anyone who didn't like the movie should be put to death. After fanboy freakouts and the horrific shooting at a "Dark Knight Rises" screening in Aurora, Colorado, there seemed to be no place for serious, measured discussion of the movie. Now, a few months removed from the hype, excitement, death threats, and backlash, backlash backlash (forelash?), it finally seems appropriate to think about "The Dark Knight Rises" not as an event, or an object to pledge devotion to, but as a text to be considered and appreciated.
I saw "The Dark Knight Rises" at an IMAX press screening back in July-- so this viewing, on an awards screener on my television, was my first not only on the small screen, but in a smaller format. Almost immediately, I sensed a difference. Without the glorious IMAX images, the opening sequence, in which Bane kidnaps a nuclear scientist and stages a plane crash to cover his tracks, felt far less impressive, and a lot more confusing. Stripped of IMAX's visual overload, I found myself paying more attention to the content of the scene -- which doesn't make a whole lot of sense. A retinue of soldiers hand over a nuclear scientist (Alon Moni Aboutboul) to a CIA agent (Aidan Gillen). They also deliver two additional passengers the CIA agent wasn't expecting, both their heads covered by hoods. The agent resists at first, but the main soldier says the prisoners know the whereabouts of Bane. The CIA agent then departs on his private plane with the scientist and the two hooded men -- one of whom actually is Bane, who immediately proceeds to hijack the plane with a second plane full of armed soldiers.
It's an impressive and ominous action sequence, and it establishes one of the visual motifs that will dominate the movie -- namely men descending into or rising out of metaphorical hells. But you could fly Bane's plane through the plot holes: the CIA agent just takes these two men without questioning or searching them? Even if he'd just pulled their hoods off he would have discovered one was Bane -- with his ghoulish facial mask, he's not exactly hard to recognize.
A lot was made of "The Dark Knight Rises" plot holes last summer, with some critics and journalists nitpicking the film to death, and then others coming to the film's defense. In a sense, they were both right; small issues within a film's plot aren't worth getting hung up about, but when those small plot holes metastasize into big ones, they can be mighty hard to ignore. In the case of "The Dark Knight Rises" there are plenty of nits to pick, but there are also deliberately ambiguous elements that drew a lot of unfair criticism. Just about every "TDKR" nitpick list took issue with the fact that Bane dumps Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) in a Middle Eastern prison to watch helplessly as Gotham City falls into ruin. Inevitably, he escapes and returns to Gotham to save the day -- but how, many asked, did he get back into the United States with no money, passport, or supplies? In one scene Bruce is in the middle of nowhere; in the next, he's back in Gotham. But in a movie that's already 170 minutes, did we really need to see another sequence where Batman sneaks into the country? The movie's timeline gives him between two and three weeks to make the journey -- plenty of time for a man of Bruce Wayne's genius and resources to find a way back home.
I think many of these complaints reflect an audience that wanted a much more straight-forward movie than they got. "The Dark Knight Rises," like Nolan's last film "Inception," is a house of cards built out of dream logic. The construction is flimsy but stunning, and it's intended to be admired from a distance, rather than under a microscope. Of course a CIA agent wouldn't take a couple of suspects onto an airplane without searching them -- except, perhaps, in a nightmare. Most of "The Dark Knight Rises" works that way, as a dark vision of societal collapse as an inevitability that not even our superheroic protectors can stop. Though Bane is eventually defeated, he succeeds in plunging Gotham into chaos for months, murdering countless people, and finally detonating a nuclear bomb. "The Dark Knight Rises" is paranoid to its core: fearful our heroes might fail us and that our alternative energy sources might be used to kill us. There are spies and double agents everywhere, and before Batman "rises" in triumph, fire that is referred to in those terms, spreading through society and destroying everything it touches.
Despite its pitch black tone, there are plenty of tangible pleasures in the film, particularly in the surprisingly seductive performance of Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle, a thief torn between eagerly anticipating the "storm" coming to Gotham's 1% and dreading the violent consequences when it finally arrives. Hathaway gets some flashy action scenes, along with some of the screenplay's best zingers, but she's also got a tough part -- the villainess with the heart of gold -- and she nails it. In retrospect, Bale's work might have been underrated, too; after three films, he has Bruce Wayne down to a science, but moving beyond the hype (and the silly nitpicks about his voice), there's some beautifully poignant stuff here about a broken man trying to find his way back from the brink of despair. As usual, Nolan plays Bruce's secret identity for a few dry laughs -- as in the terrific scene where Wayne goes to the hospital for his debilitated knee, and after listing an endless series of injuries the doctor strongly urges him not to go heli-skiing. Then the doctor leaves and Bruce immediately slips on a ski mask and leaps out the window. The only truly disappointing performance is Hardy's, mostly because his face is 70% covered by a mask and his voice, recorded in post-production, sounds like a pompous cartoon walrus. As a result, he never reaches the heights of menace achieved by The Joker in "The Dark Knight" or Ra's al Ghul in "Batman Begins" (whose name, I just suddenly realized, sounds a lot like "Rise").
Ultimately, for all its sometimes dicey plot mechanics and its bloated runtime, I not only enjoy "The Dark Knight Rises," i admire it. Faced with the task of following up one of the most popular movies in history, Nolan didn't simply rehash "The Dark Knight." Instead, he crafted something brimming to capacity with action and ideas. It's messy and sometimes even a little silly, and it doesn't necessarily make any sort of coherent statement about class and wealth in our society -- but it tries to say something, which already puts it far ahead of most of its competition in the largely lifeless world of mega-scale blockbusters. Again, Nolan himself provides the best symbol for his own movie, in the form of "The Bat," Batman's new flying Batmobile. The device can maneuver around the canyons of Gotham, or hover in place -- but it doesn't, we repeatedly hear, have an autopilot. Neither does Nolan. Whatever he makes, good or bad, is always bold and audacious.

To me, the films message is simple and made clear in it's final shots:
"The hero saves the world when he learns to save himself."
In saving his own life and passing the baton, Bruce has made Batman immortal.
Forgive me if this is too simplistic for such a layered blockbuster, but personally it was the crisp expression of this idea at the film's end that was so gratifying.
cary | November 26, 2012 5:15 AM
Even in IMAX viewing, I thought that the opening hijacking sequence was horribly designed and executed. One of the most weakest parts of the movie. Most action scenes were bad. The aerial shot of the football stadium might be the only exception.
Nolan should have found a way to show Hardy's acting without handicapping him with that mask.
Tony | November 25, 2012 1:18 PM
That review was spot-on and fair. Sure it was flawed but it was glorious.
Martin | November 25, 2012 12:42 PM
Rather than "dream logic" I respond to critics of the film by saying it's "comic book logic" (this isn't to disparage the film). Each shot is almost its own scene, and like in a comic, when you cut between panels/shots the transitionary moments are left to your imagination/interpretation (which is how Nolan fits such dense story-telling into one film - it would take at least good 12 issues to tell the film). The cut from the prison to Gotham wouldn't be explained on the page, except by maybe a caption, so I didn't have a problem with it.
Jeff | November 25, 2012 12:02 PM
What exactly is confusing about the opening? It's there to set up the fake death of the scientist. Miranda even hints at it when Bruce is hesitant to activate the green device.
DG | November 24, 2012 7:04 PM
The only thing TDKR had wrong with it is the fact that it came out after The Dark Knight, which you are correct in pointing out could have meant a lazy re-hash. I thought the movie worked extremely well as a conclusion to the franchise and all the nit picking about logic was kind of ridiculous considering how illogical some of the stuff from the first two is (the Tumbler chase on rooftop springs to mind). I guess some people are going to hate no matter what but I think the majority of those people would still lose their shit if against all odds Nolan came back for a fourth movie.
Gary | November 23, 2012 6:41 PM
As I like to say; The Dark Knight Rises is a great movie... It's just not a great "Batman" movie.
Sam Fragoso | November 23, 2012 6:00 PM
Since I wasn't fortunate enough to receive a "for your consideration" screener of TDKR, I have absolutely no idea how the film will play on a normal screen.
That said, I did attend another screening of the film after its release. I enjoyed the film about the same, perhaps a bit more. You're right, Matt, in pointing out that Nolan doesn't subscribe to a type of autopilot aesthetic plaguing many working filmmakers today.
The film is bold and audacious, and it does try to say something. After two viewings, I'm still not positive it cogently conveys its messages. For many, its sweeping attempt to say something may actually be the film's undoing -- in which it ends up saying nothing at all.
On an unrelated note, I do hope the death threats and blind rage stop soon. Having dealt with the scornful folks on Rotten Tomatoes, I can attest to it being an unpleasant, though ultimately laughable experience.

A - Pours a slightly deeper yellow than a pilsner, with tons of tiny champagne bubbles and a soapy head that produces some really nice lacing.
S - Smells clean, tart, mild and just a little musty.
T - Tastes clean, bright, tart and extremely dry. There's citrus peel, white grape and pine, but everything is done in a subtle fashion. It's refreshing, but could be even more so if it weren't so dry. Resinous hops emerge more as the beer warms.
M - Produces an impressively full mouthful for such a dry beer. There's a sophisticated champagne-like fizziness that coats everything.
Overall, this is an impressive low ABV IPA. "Session" IPAs usually taste watery to me, but this one, while not big in body, was definitely not watered down. It has some almost Belgian blonde/saison characteristics that, paired with the resinous hop backbone, makes for an interesting brew.

Pours into a nonic a dull lighter golden with a half finger white head that fades quickly leaving a half ring of broken lace behind.Lighter aromas with grapefruit rind standing out most with a bit of toasted cereal grain as well.A big shot of grapefruit and lemon oil hits ya on the palate and lingers for quite awhile along with sweet biscuit in the finish,quite a nice shot of hops.Maybe the best "session" IPA I have had yet.

I've now tried this beer on draft twice; no bottles yet.
Appearance: It looked yellow to me, and had no head at all by the time I walked from the bar to the beer garden.
Smell: Super strong hops! Lots of citrus, but also some more astringent herbaceous notes and some floral.
Taste: Not nearly as bitter as I was expecting from the hop-bomb scent, but not at all sweet, either. A very thin, dry flavor that disappears quickly, making it extremely drinkable and summery, although slightly drying.
Mouthfeel: I found that this beer had a very thin body that bordered on slightly watery. Not overly carbonated, although the dryness of the flavour emphasized the carbonation. All of this means it's very refreshing and extremelt sessionable, but by no means a full-bodied beer.
Overall: I am a fan of session IPAs; it's nice to get through three beers with friends and not be much affected by alcohol. I love the citrus notes, and would definitely buy this in hot weather. However, my go-to session IPA is still Founder's All Day. It's higher in alcohol, but overall a more solid beer.

12 oz bottle. Pours clear golden yellow with a big fluffy white head that retains well and leaves some lacing.
The aroma is lots of dank resiny piney hops. Some garlic comes out as it warms.
The flavor is a little bready malt and fruit with resiny, piney hops. The mouthfeel is medium bodied and slightly watery and metallic.
Overall, a solid session IPA. Lots of good piney resiny bitterness. Still has a slightly watery mouthfeel.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) -- When Lexington Catholic student Zack Haffler received an award at his graduation, he had no idea how it would inspire him.
Haffler, who has never run a race, has been training for a month to participate in Monday's Bluegrass 10,000, a 10-kilometer race in Lexington.
His mission started shortly after he received the Joe Bieschke Memorial Award, given to a graduating senior who strives for perfection in all things.
Bieschke was a member of the school's cross-country team when he died in 1986 from cancer. A few months before his death, he participated in the Bluegrass 10,000 -- and crossed the finish line.
Although he was too sick to run, he limped the length of the course.
Haffler told the Lexington Herald-Leader he wants to prove he deserves the award.
Haffler, who just turned 18, said he doesn't consider himself a runner -- just a young man on a mission. He said he didn't know much about the boy who the award was named for so he did some research.
"I found an article online about what he did, and I was kind of touched by how someone in that much pain and struggle could do something so great," Haffler said. "I just looked at him and at myself, and it seemed as though I had never done anything that great. And so I felt like I ought to do something."
A few days later, Haffler got up early, put on his running shoes and hit the streets. He's been running close to every morning since then to build up his strength and endurance so he can pay homage to Bieschke.
"I just felt like I needed to do something to prove to myself, or to Lexington Catholic, that I deserved an award like that," he said.
Haffler's father, Larry Haffler, said his son's decision was a surprise to family members.
"He actually first told my wife, Donna, that he was going to run in the Bluegrass 10,000," Larry Haffler said. "I think she was not shocked but surprised because he's absolutely never run a race before. In fact, he's never really run before for any distance."
That made his first few days of training tough, but it soon got better and now he runs 5 miles a few times a week.
After he finishes the race, Haffler said he wants to write a letter to Bieschke's parents, who now live in California. He wants them to know that he ran the race and that 25 years after their son's death, his story still inspires others.
"I think it's kind of neat that these two kids, who obviously never met, are in some sense bonded together because of this award," Larry Haffler said.

8Having Fun Yet, Andy Dick?
I just think this photo — taken at Jude Law's birthday party at LAX on Saturday — is so funny.
I bet all those chicks ran to the bathroom afterwards to snort the cocaine residue off her chest. Andy Dick's bare hands have to be good for a line or two.

He's so disgusting. The type of chick that lets Andy Dick grab their tits is even more disgusting…besides the fact she has no tits to grab. I'm suprised he didn't pee on himself anywhere in this story.
Wise Sensi say; "Dick touches you.. you go pharmaceutical!"
It's all about having fun in Vegas. Ashley….you know you'd let someone grab your tits if you were there getting attention too. Beautiful picture ladies…and Andy
you are sick this is a website used at school, children see this nastiness!!!!!! EWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What is happening? We were the ones who got affected, we were the ones who lost friends, families, we were the ones who lost the life we have always known, and yet we are the ones being ridiculed by the government, by the President who, of all people, we expect to be the one to spearhead in helping us get through this. THIS. THIS means the darkest days, months, and maybe years of our f@%cking lives. And what are they doing? Instead of giving us a hand, they pushed, kicked and shoved us aside, blaming us for the deaths of the people we loved. Excuse me, you bastard, we never intended for this to happen and frankly, being hit by the super typhoon, being the center of it IS NOT OUR FUCKING FAULT. Yes, I get that your concern was that we weren't prepared enough which caused the thousands of deaths, but what do you want us to do? Build a fucking time machine, go back to that wretched day and maybe save a few more lives? Because to be honest, no matter how much we prepare, THIS WAS BOUND TO HAPPEN. Because, for pete's sake this was a freaking super typhoon that should have been labelled category 6 which is even stronger than the hurricane Katrina that killed thousands in the US. We don't get to choose if we wanted to get hit, I mean no one can, and not that I wanted it to hit other places but right now all we need is your support. Stop rubbing salt on our wounds, because they are barely healing and may not heal at all of you keep ripping it open and striking where it hurts the most. What happened to being ONE COUNTRY? Shove that up your ass 'cause you are not fooling us, not now. Not ever. Not after what you did. F@&K YOU AND MAY YOU BE DAMNED IN HELL.
You don't surround yourself with people that make you feel like shit.
I wish that I can talk to someone. Someone I could confide with all the things that had me bothered, or the things that I just need to get off my chest. With everything so pent up inside, I just want to burst out and yell and shout and curse at people. But then, I get a hold of myself and just keep it in, smile and act like it didn't faze me. That I am okay. But I am not. Because even if I know they don't mean it, it still hurts. And with the constant reminder that I am just some annoying person that isn't supposed to belong, I really don't know what to do. All of these goes crashing through my chest, making it as heavy as thousands of anvils stacked together. Those blunt replies that make you feel shit, well, they make me feel something more than shit. Even if I want to do the same, I don't have the heart to do so. *sigh This is getting dramatic, and I hate it. But words help me release all these, it helps me feel better even if just a little.
Random shit I write…
Some time in your life, you meet someone and in an instant, you see both of your lives intertwining in the future and you have this thought in your head that she will be THE one for you. And you keep that thought in your head and you stop looking at other girls because you have patterned your brain to think otherwise. You keep telling yourself that she is the one for you, that she will be your forever girl. One whom you would gladly give up a part of your life, and all of your heart, just to please. And the sad thing is, she belongs to someone else and you can't do anything but watch her give her heart away, one you think must belong to you and only you. Despite of this, you lay faithful, thinking that someday she will wake up and decide that you are the one she should be in love with.
But then, you start to realize things. You realize that you can't talk to her about your favorite books because she thinks they are lame. You realize that she cares more about the color of her nail polish than what you have to say. You realize that she doesn't like your habit of eating a lot. You realize that you can never have long conversations with her because it always turns awkward. You realize that she has never been the perfect fit for you. That she has never been the puzzle piece that completes you all along.You have wasted all those time pining for her. And you realize how blind you were all those times.
And with that, you move on. Or I guess, you never really move on when what you felt wasn't real in the first place. You see the world, your world, has a greater scope without her being its focus. You look at the sky and see that it has never really been her who you thought will take you up there. And you may even start realizing that you have been looking at the wrong person all along. That she's just right by your side, waiting for you.
MY LIFE SUCKSSSSSSSSS… I mean, at least my grades do.
Ugh. I have been working my ass off, balancing my time-consuming extra-curricular activities and my overwhelming academics, just to get a grade average enough to be a college scholar. But alas, my grade in Math11 had to be sooooooooooo low to pull my average down. Now, I am 0.03 percent short of being a college scholar which EFFING SUCKS. And I am now depressed about it. SUPER DEPRESSED. WTH. Okay, kill me now -_-

Educate-Yourself Editor's Note: This is an extremely important article that needs to be read (and re-read) by every thinking adult on this planet. The Nazis did not fade away after World War II. They merely went underground in the USA and continued their research into mind control and other advanced technologies that would eventually limit world population to a selected group (Eugenics) and robotize that portion of humanity left intact. We are now at the precipice of this technological takeover and Kafkaesque enslavement. The top echelon members of the Fourth Reich have had access to alien-derived age regression technology that has allowed people like Hitler's Army Intelligence chief (and, according to Dr. Ott, secret top lieutenant of the Gestapo under Himmler), General Reinhardt Gehlen, to remain alive and active-to this day, as verified by Otto Skorzeny in 1999. Gehlen did not die in 1979; as Josef Mengele did not die in 1979; or as Otto Skorzeny did not die in 1975. Their "deaths" were faked by the CIA. Gehlen and Mengele are still alive today.
Their offspring are also alive and active-as you will learn from this article. I've recently been contacted by a man who has been victimized by the very nano chip technology described in this article. The control over ones mind and body via these nano chips is TOTAL once implanted. Avoid any and all vaccinations-if you cherish your freedom of thought and conduct, which may soon be a thing of the past.

DynCorp, The NSA, & Nano Technology Conspire to Robotize Humanity by Dr A. True Ott (Feb. 27, 2010)
Original Title: NanoTech, DynCorp, and NSA Goes B.A.N.G.
The Unholy Trinity and the Implosion of Freedom
"Nano" is defined basically as "one-billionth of a meter" and "Nanotech" is easily the hottest new science on the planet. A 2003 report advises:
- "In the USA, senior science policy makers and industry players are devising a new-style 'Manhattan' or 'Apollo' project to merge strategic technologies at the nano-scale (one billionth of a meter). Their aim is to combine biotechnology, information technology and cognitive (neural) science with atomtechnology at the nano scale. The operative unit in information science is the Bit; nanotechnology manipulates Atoms; cognitive science deals with Neurons and biotech exploits the Gene. Together they make B.A.N.G. Merging these technologies into one, proponents say, will drive a huge industrial revolution and a societal "renaissance" that will guarantee American dominance - military and economic - through the 21st century."
This paper will identify the major players in this field, and expose the hidden agendas of those whose desire is to erode personal freedom in the quest for unlimited earthly power and wealth. This paper will show how the NSA, (which today controls the world's BITS or information-retrieving technology) has partnered with an extremely dangerous paramilitary, mercenary, private corporation named DynCorp International to drastically curtail human population levels on the Earth, while placing the survivors under complete and total, super-computer-driven mind control. Sound incredible? Of course it does, but please, read on before judging!
I know how incredibly bizarre and radical that last paragraph sounds.
I will grant you that it may seem to you as if this author has been reading too many science fiction novels – but I humbly submit, that truth is often stranger than fiction – especially in the nano-tech world. Dear reader, you can choose to take the blue pill and read no further. You have the choice to keep your blindfold on tight. Or, you can choose to take the red pill and read on and see just how deep the rabbit hole goes. Remember the immortal words of Thomas Jefferson: "The Price of Freedom is ETERNAL VIGILANCE." In today's world, "eternal vigilance" is even more vitally important – as the tools and practices of the enemies of personal freedom have become increasingly sophisticated and devious. Each month there are new and incredible breakthroughs in this exploding NANOTECH field. This is all the more reason to be alert and vigilant about what is happening on this front. America MUST make some important and monumental decisions NOW – or face the dire consequences in just a few very short years.
- BIOTECH + INFOTECH (I.T.) + NEURON SCIENCE = BIRTH OF New World Order
This paper will show strong evidence that DynCorp International is the driving force behind the manufacturing of weaponized viruses such as the "Novel H1N1", and will also expose the true agenda behind their desire to vaccinate the world. The evidence shows that DynCorp is responsible for the creation of these viruses at Ft. Detrick Maryland, the placing of nano-RFID chips into the virus' vaccine needles, and finally, the expansion of multiple new and immensely powerful TRACKING COMPUTERS for the NSA to implement the "final solution" and quite literally, to control and subjugate the entire world. It literally follows this "B.A.N.G." formula --- Bits (super-computers) control Atoms (nano-chips) which control Neurons (human mind control) which control Genes (Nazi Eugenics (4)). Make no mistake, the TECHNOLOGY TO COMPLETELY PROGRAM AND EVEN BUILD HUMANS IN THE LAB EXISTS AND IS BEING UTILIZED TODAY.
The NSA's super-computers on-line at Fort. Meade literally scan the entire world's telecommunications and record "suspicious" conversations. Likewise, the same super-computers have combined with biological nano-tech to literally resurrect and re-create various versions of the 1918 Killer Virus that killed millions of people worldwide (5). The next phase is to use the same nano-tech to control the NEURONS of the human brain in massive, world-wide computerized mind control – with the ultimate goal to eventually control the human GENE POOL – ala the Nazi agenda of 1938. Let's explore the evidence behind each of these fact-based allegations. Consider the evidence trail, and draw your own conclusions.
Founded in 1946 at the conclusion of WWII by associates of the CIA/NSA founder and O.S.S. director William "Wild Bill" Donovan (Dyncorp was then doing business as Eastern Air Freight Co.), Dyncorp Intl. was a continuous target of FBI surveillance and investigation during the 1950's. In fact, following a recent FOI request, the FBI has released a whopping 747 pages of documents on the clearly questionable activities of "Wild Bill" Donovan and his cronies (5). The reason for such an investigation appears to be due to the early connections of Donovan, and CIA director Allen Dulles with the Nazi intelligence chief, General Reinhardt Gehlen and Gehlen's entourage of "scientists", thugs, and spies that became a major part of the United States' "intelligence" community following "Operation Paper Clip". This was all formally agreed to by treaty, and the CIA/NSA was formed following the signing of the "secret" "Treaty of Ft. Hunt." (6) General Gehlen became the de-facto head of the CIA's German office, after he and his family (he reportedly had a son born in 1941) allegedly assumed the surname of Woolsey and received U.S. citizenship papers listing a residence in Oklahoma. Reinhardt's alleged son, R. James Woolsey (born in 1941), appears to have followed in his father's proud footsteps, and became the Director of DynCorp Intl., and headed up the CIA during the Clinton administration. (While I was not able to fully corroborate Woolsey's father actually being Nazi intelligence chief Gehlen, (certain PaperClip details are still unavailable) I must say only that the family resemblance is quite remarkable)
Father & Son?
- - - - Reinhardt Gehlen - - - - - - R. James Woolsey
The truth is, DynCorp International is much more than that. According to CorpWatch (7), and even Wikepedia (8), DynCorp International provides training for police forces worldwide. It is the primary "private security force" in Iraq and provides top security for the CIA's extensive poppy fields in Afghanistan. It also provided the security for New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina. It is responsible for patrolling the entire U.S./Mexican Border, performs "essential services" in Colombia to known drug cartels, and of course – is deeply involved in the international "sex slave" trade so vividly portrayed in the recent movie "Taken" starring Liam Neeson. It would appear that DynCorp is just as sleazy as its predecessor, the Nazi Gestapo. Could this have anything to do with its most powerful directors being related to Gestapo officers?
I was shocked to discover that DynCorp has dozens of U.S. and international patents relating to the process of MANUFACTURING VIRUSES from African green monkey kidney cells. US Patent 6025182 – "Method for producing a virus from an African green monkey kidney cell line" was issued to DynCorp Intl. on February 15, 2000 (9) This patent clearly describes the process of creating a "novel" virus from monkey cell material. Moreover, we find that the "inventors" of the patented process, also are "employed" by Ft. Detrick – where we know that the 1918 killer flu virus was replicated and weaponized using monkey cell material as the construction material.
Why would a para-military company like Dyncorp want to possess and patent dangerous, killer, man-made viruses? Once again, the answer lies in the writings and world model of Adolf Hitler's Reich – the genocidal destruction of the "unfit" at a future date. It has been well established that thousands of Hitler's key henchmen came to America and were given new names and identities under the CIA's "Operation PaperClip". Should anyone be surprised that their children and grandchildren would not continue in seeing the vision of Hitler's utopia (The New Order of the Ages) become a reality?
The website "Patent Storm" lists a total of 31 patents related to DynCorp (10). In addition to a patent that allows them to glean information and create detailed information files on targeted individuals from "peer to peer" websites such as Facebook and Twitter, Dyncorp holds exclusive patents on "influenza vaccines" made once again from African Green Monkey cells (11). A careful search and review of exactly how the "novel H1N1" vaccine antigens are produced will show that the antigen is cultured in African Green Monkey cells. Considering the fact that many of Reinhardt Gehlen's Nazi scientists were placed in large pharmaceutical positions once again during "Operation PaperClip" would explain how and why DynCorp Intl. would be positioned so strategically to reap windfall profits from the worldwide "pandemic influenza" vaccine market.
However, windfall profits is only a small part of the bigger picture. The pandemic influenza vaccine needles deliver dozens of small, nano-sized computer chips into the blood of each individual being vaccinated (12). These "nano-chips" are designed to pass the human blood-brain barrier and eventually lodge in the brain's neurons. After reaching their intended final destination in the human brain neurons, these incredible nano-chips then are designed to communicate via satellite with a covert master computer, and the unsuspecting victim becomes an unwilling spy tool. The victim's eyes become the NSA's remote camera, and their ears become their listening device. This of course, is very ingenious, to say the least – but very, very dangerous to human freedom and privacy. The new RFID chips have a whopping 128-bit ROM capacity (13) (as much as many laptop computers) for storing a unique 38 digit number, which is then placed into the master computer's data base along with the chip's reading of the victim's unique DNA structure. Every human thought, reaction, hearing, and visual observation causes a certain neurological potential, spikes, and patterns in the brain and its electromagnetic fields, which can now be decoded into thoughts, pictures, and voices at the master computer. Electromagnetic stimulation via implanted microchips can therefore change a person's brainwaves and affect muscular activity, causing painful muscular cramps experienced as torture, or on the other extreme, can stimulate the brain with euphoria and feelings of extreme peace when the individual follows the master computer's instructions.
The NSA's electronic surveillance system housed underground at Ft.Meade, can today simultaneously follow and handle millions of people. Each of us has a unique bioelectrical resonance frequency in the brain, just as each human has unique fingerprints. With electromagnetic frequency (EMF) brain stimulation fully coded by these 128-bit ROM nano-chips, specific pulsating electromagnetic signals can be sent to the brain, causing the desired voice and visual effects to be experienced by the target. In addition to having the eyes and ears of the victim sending signals to the master mainframe computer, the computer can also manipulate the very thoughts and physical behavior of the victim as well! This is a very real form of electronic warfare. U.S. astronauts were implanted before they were sent into space so their thoughts could be followed and all their emotions could be registered 24 hours a day by NASA computers in Houston.
A terrific website that explains all of this in great detail is:
I would also HIGHLY RECOMMEND that everyone reading this paper also take the time to view the 5 part presentation entitled "One Mainframe to Rule them All" on Youtube at this address:
This is exactly why Obama wants to restrict and curtail the internet – because so much TRUTH is given there – and the "mainstream" media cannot yet control its content! Watch and learn why you are still able!!
Nano-chips removed from a "powder" reported to be coating the inside of "H1N1" vaccine in comparison to a human hair.
On or about October 20, 2009, DynCorp Intl. completed its acquisition of Alexandria Virginia-based Phoenix Consulting Group. Earlier in September, Phoenix Consulting Groups website, www.intellpros.com outlined in rather graphic detail that it provided training for ALL intelligence officers in ALL branches of the intelligence community – from the CIA, the NSA, Navy Intelligence, Army Intelligence, etc. Now that Dyncorp owns Phoenix Consulting, the website is very vague about exactly what "intelligence courses" it provides – and of course, to exactly whom the "training" is offered.
Commenting on the merger, DynCorp CEO Bill Ballhaus declared: "This acquisition is consistent with our goal of accelerating growth, expanding service offerings and penetrating new segments." "Phoenix's talent complements DynCorp International's business and extends our ability to deliver compelling services to the intelligence community and national security clients. This acquisition will continue to strengthen DynCorp International as a leading provider of specialized mission-critical services to civilian and military government agencies worldwide."(14)
What is amazing is that such a large merger would go virtually unreported in the media. DynCorp business must be very profitable in order to justify such a large, cash acquisition.
Now, the DynCorp/Phoenix website seems to be promoting Private Sector/Fortune 500 spy-training classes. An excerpt from their website promoting their corporate courses reads:
I SPY: Your competitor is snooping on you. So what's
wrong with that? By William Green
A DOZEN STUDENTS descend on Disney's Paradise Island in
Orlando, Fla. It's a balmy night in February and they are up
to no good. They have been assigned to accost strangers
and extract secrets from them.
Ava Youngblood targets a Philadelphia landscaper. Within
minutes she's discovered that he makes $1,500 a week,
has lost his savings in a wrenching divorce and owns a
$150,000 house.
Another student collars an Arkansas businessman, quickly
learning that he keeps at least $1,000 in his checking
account. The student considers jotting down the number of
the businessman's American Express card.
A school for blackmailers and scam artists? Nope. These
are corporate employees taking a course paid for by their
bosses. Their teachers are William DeGenaro, who used to
work in counterintelligence for the U.S. government,
and John Nolan, who spent part of a 22-year military
intelligence career recruiting and training spies in Germany,
Cambodia and Vietnam.
The best corporate spooks appear innocent and friendly -
and know when to play dumb.
The adjunct faculty at the Centre for Operational
Business Intelligence includes John Quinn, who worked for
the CIA as a Tokyo-based spy, and Lieutenant General
(retired) James Williams, former director of the U.S.
Defense Intelligence Agency [DIA].
The students are here to learn how to help their employers
gather "competitive intelligence." That intelligence might
concern the design and price of a competitor's upcoming
product, the benefits of acquiring a rival business or the
dangers of entering a new market.
If business is war, companies need intelligence about the
other side. That's the premise on which the school is run.
The course notes reinforce this warrior mentality with
quotations from John Le Carre, and from Sun Tzu's The Art
of War: "Spies are a most important element in war
because upon them depends an army's ability to move
What is morally questionable about the "corporate training" outline above, is that by reviewing information on DynCorp's public website one can find that DynCorp, a global, private, "for-profit" corporation is clearly in bed with the "public" company, the National Security Agency which operates on the taxpayer's ledger.
For instance, DynCorp is currently advertising for a Senior Director, Intelligence Community Capture Management position with a SCI/NSA "Top Secret" Security Clearance. How exactly can a "private" corporation offer NSA Top Secret Security? This is insane!
Furthermore, the job advertisement declares:
- "EXPERIENCE: Must have demonstrated Intelligence Community (IC) business development and capture skills and possess a minimum of 10 years of relevant recent experience with IC/DoD [Department of Defence], specifically working with the National Security Agency (NSA), National Reconnaissance Agency (NRO) and/or National Geospatial Agency (NGA), with preference to experience at the NSA. Candidate must have a proven record of captures for large opportunities ($100+M) with high win rate in a Government contracting environment. The candidate must have demonstrated history of positioning, defining strategy, and building proposal story for both large and small opportunities" (16).
Let's be sure we fully understand this scenario. DynCorp partners up with SuperSpy Network NSA and its taxpayer-funded telecommunication spy satellites in order to give favorable treatment to its "bidding partners" in massive U.S. government contracts. It seems to me that the taxpayers are really getting shafted with this one! Never fear, however, if you are a small, private company competitively bidding on a large government contract and fear that your telecommunications may have been hacked, you can always hire a NSA-trained "Certified Ethical Hacker" such as Mr. Haywood McDowell (18) to run a simulated "hack" on your network! What a racket! The scary thing is, this is clearly a new "growth industry" – Certified Ethical Hacking (CEH) certification and training. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised that DynCorp/Phoenix provide the "certification" either.
In conclusion, this paper has shown that the NSA is not only supplying satellite spying for the U.S. Government and the Pentagon, but is also clearly working with "business clients" such as DynCorp International, IBM, and other Fortune 500 companies to give them a competitive advantage in the "global" marketplace. It should be clear that this "public" bureaucracy is making fistfuls of profits from taxpayer funded infrastructure. Incredibly, they want even more power and more control at the taxpayer's expense.
In a place called "Camp Williams", 30 miles south of Salt Lake City, Utah – the American taxpayer is being asked to spend at least $2 billion dollars for a new, state-of-the-art National Security Agency "data collection center". This "data center" will be spread over 200 acres and have 1 million square feet of building to house a "new generation" of supercomputer that will consume at least 36 Megawatts of electricity – currently more than the entire City of Salt Lake consumes! What type of new computer, given the advances in NANOTECHNOLOGY outlined in this paper, would need to consume this much electricity and span this large of a secure facility? What exactly is this "data center" intended to do? The current NSA facility already is extremely effective in utilizing its satellite spying and hacking --- what exactly is the "next level" they wish to access? Unfortunately, all requests for even the most basic disclosures have been ignored by all levels of the "intelligence" community (19).
I submit that until full disclosure is given to the taxpayer, the "data center" has no business being built. There is simply too much at risk to allow complete "blind trust" to rule the day. Could this well be the "One Mainframe to Rule Them All, And in the Darkness Bind Them?"
Common sense and past history leads us to no other logical conclusion.

Magoffin County Jury Tampering Investigation
Date of News Release: 08/12/2009
(Magoffin County, Ky.) -- KSP in Pikeville received notification of a complaint in which three jurors reported that they had been intimidated by a family member of a defendant, Chester Dean Allen, while they were leaving the Magoffin County Courthouse. There was a trial that had been underway for Mr. Allen regarding sexual abuse and sodomy. Judge Kimberly Childers locked down the courthouse and law enforcement was notified. One of the suspects identified was the 18 year old son of the defendant, Jarred Allen, of Puncheon Creek in Magoffin County. He is being charged with three counts of jury tampering. Through further investigation, 63 year old Gladys Allen of Puncheon Creek made a threat toward Commonwealth Attorney Graham Marcum. During the investigation, arrest warrants were issued for both suspects and they were arrested without incident at the Magoffin County Courthouse. The case remains under investigation by Trooper Brian Lee.

Mother wants her daughter back
Senior willing to accept teen home, no questions asked
THE mother of a teenaged girl, who left home over three years ago, continues to appeal to her daughter to return home.
According to Ann Marie Nevers, there is nothing that her daughter could have done over the last three years that would prevent her from accepting her back into her home.
The mother is even pledging not to ask any questions of the child, should she return home after her three-year absence.
Kerrian Nevers of Morgan's Forest, near Boroughbridge on the border of St Ann and Clarendon, reportedly left home on February 5, 2011 and has not been seen by her family since. She was 13 years old at the time.
According to her mother, she called a year after leaving to say that she was "all right"; however, no one has heard from her, or seen her since.
With the fourth of her five children missing, Nevers said that life has not been the same because she loves her daughter.
"I love her. I have five children and the love I have for her is the same as the others. Even now I have 100 per cent love for her," Nevers said.
The mother said that she would give anything to have her child home and is very anxious to know if she is alive.
The senior Nevers, who now suffers from high blood pressure, recalled the day that her daughter left.
"I was waiting on her in the evening to come home but she didn't come," she said of the Friday afternoon that the minor took off for territory unknown to her family.
However, she came back home the following day, but before her mother could talk to her, she left again and the family has not seen her since.
"A year after, she call on private number and tell me that she is OK. Two years now she don't call," Nevers lamented.
Nevers said that her daughter was going through "troubled times", and as she appealed to her to come home, the mother said that she understood her reason for leaving.
"If she no want to come home, just let me know she is alive. I would like to even meet her again before mi dead," the downcast mother stated with tear-filled eyes.
"I don't know if she is alive or dead," she went on.
Nevers said that someone in her community said that he had seen her daughter in downtown Kingston -- the last time that anyone said that they had seen her.
"Her family really miss her," the mother said, explaining that even an older brother who often chastised Kerrian for her behaviour wants her to return home.
"Her brothers say she should be at home," the mother said.
While the mother tries to be there for her other children, she spoke of the existence of a vacuum in her life.
"Each time when it come on to Christmas, I go out with the children but her space is always missing," she said.
Breaking down in tears, the mother added: "I want my little girl. I am willing to take her back no matter what state she is in."
The eldest sister of the missing teen said that she, too, would love for her sister to be back in the fold.
"I want her to know I still love her. I miss her a lot," Visha Nevers told the Sunday Observer.
Nevers explained that her youngest child, who is 12 years old, is also devastated by the disappearance of her sister from her life, so traumatised by the events that at age 12, all she wants are dolls.
"Annakaye is lonely at home. She don't have any other girls to play with at home," the mother stated.
Nevers said that her daughter loved singing and dancing and often sang
at church.
The mother said that one of her favourite activities in which she was involved with her daughter was catching crayfish. She said that since she left the house she has not had any.
"From she leave I don't get any crayfish. We use to go to the river often and catch crayfish," she said.
Nevers said that she is appealing to her child to return home despite the challenges that she faced while she lived at the house.
"It wasn't easy for her; she was having problems," the mother said.

Beginning Monday Sep. 30, Hillsborough County shifts to the use of the new automated trash collection system.
Residents who've received their new trash and recycle bins can begin using those bins on their collection days.
For people who are concerned the roll carts are too large, the county urges you try them out until Jan. 15, 2014, which covers the holiday season. After that time period, you can exchange the roll cart, a one-time size change, at no charge.
That can be arranged by contacting your Franchise Collector from Jan. 15, 2014 – March 15, 2014 Roll cart size changes after the Jan. 15, 2014 - March 15, 2014 "swap out" period will incur a $30 charge each. Related story: 07/23/2013 Hillsborough County rolls out new trash cans
If you're wondering what to do with your old cans, the county suggests keeping it for yard waste. If you don't want it, place them curbside for collection the week of Sep. 23 with a note directing your service provider to take the cans.
After the new automated program starts, old trash cans can be placed in your gray roll cart to be thrown away, or taken to a Community Collection Center. For more information visit www.hillsboroughcounty.org

By Jason Helms
Kevin Hartman - I know I am probably far from what many of you think on this one, but I am going to start being a little harder on Hartman now that I feel confident that this team is close to where it needs to be defensively. He did not have to do a lot in this one, with the post having almost as many saves as he did. Also, his poor clearance was just as much to blame for Portland's goal than anything else. Game Grade: 5.5
Zach Loyd - Another solid performance from him, especially having to play with a couple of new partners on the right side, in Bryan Leyva and Jair Benitez. Defensively, the right back played well, always challenging, but I will say he had his hands full with Eric Alexander. Loyd also had a few good runs down his touch line in the match, mostly in the first half, that helped FCD force the issue offensively, but none of them really led to anything. Game Grade: 7
Keep reading
Ugo Ihemelu - The captain's performance was good enough to deserve a clean sheet. As we should all know, Kris Boyd is a tough customer, and Ihemelu silenced him in this one. He was strong in the air and had a handful of important tackles. However, he lost possession more than he should have, with several errant passes and dispossessions. Game Grade: 7
George John - I was hoping George was going to lock things down when he came on in the awkward time of the match that he did, but he just did not, to the effect that I wanted at least. After watching him closely, he seemed to drift too wide on occasion leaving Ihemelu all by himself. He did win a lot of headers, but to only play 45+ minutes, he still managed to get outworked by Ihemelu. Game Grade: 6.5
Hernan Pertuz - The new defender logged another good 90 minutes, with few mistakes. The Columbian was marking well and supplying silky smooth passes out of the back like he did against NYRB before being pushed out wide when John came on. However, he looked a little out of place at left back, probably because he was as unprepared for the surprise move as I was. Game Grade: 7
Jair Benitez - He was another victim of Hyndman's decision, and to me, he did a decent job after being transplanted to right mid. Benitez was having a well above average game at left back, defending well, getting forward and serving up a few decent balls in the area. But, like Pertuz, he just never looked comfortable after the move, despite some cross attempts. I would have liked to have seen Andrew Wiedeman replace him toward the end, but who really knows how that would have turned out. Game Grade: 6.5
Daniel Hernandez - The ex-captain had a fairly good outing apart from the sloppy touch on Hartman's nasty clearance that led to Portland's equalizer. He does appear to have lost a step over his time with the club, which makes me question how many more miles he has left. He still offered some much-needed pressure as the first line of defense. Another negative I saw from him was the lack of effectiveness from his set piece deliveries. They have got to be better or teams will continue to punish FCD on the pitch, which can lead to a serious injury down the line. Game Grade: 6
Andrew Jacobson - In contrast to his opening day performance, the midfielder did not get too much right in this one. He looked a lot more like the Jacobson I remember from last season. It seemed every time he had the ball at his feet, Dallas would lose possession. He lost several 50/50's and I did not see a single dangerous linking pass from him the entire match. He also managed to severely mishit a shot on one of Dallas' most threatening attacks, with many other options to choose from. Game Grade: 4.5
Ricardo Villar - After a very impactful first half, the Brazilian seemed to have disappeared offensively after the break. He was often farther forward than Blas Perez was in the second half when his team was losing the midfield battle. Not all bad stuff from him though, as I do not know how any of his well-placed corner kicks were not finished. Game Grade: 6
Bryan Leyva - It was good to see the youngster step up the way he did. Apparently, his start was a game-day decision, which is a lot to throw at a guy. He was one of the main staples in FC Dallas' attack during his –almost- half of play. He did not drop back in defense as much as Hyndman obviously wanted him to, but to me he balanced that out by his offensive effort. He definitely kept Rodney Wallace stretched out wide to free up some space in the middle for Perez to roam, and his ample shot on goal was as good as an assist. Game Grade: 6.5
Carlos Rodriguez - The Panamanian filled Brek Shea's role somewhat sufficiently. He still showed shades of his less-than-amazing attacking ability, but at least he can hold and distribute the ball well. He also proved, once again that he can lend a helping hand on the defensive side. He just let a few attacking opportunities get away from him, but there is great comfort in knowing that this guy will be coming off the bench in the future. Game Grade: 6.5
Blas Perez - The big guy had a great game considering his makeshift supporting staff. He worked very hard to fill the gap created by the team's absences and it paid off for him with his first MLS goal. Even after Hyndman had his squad go defensive, Super Raton continued to push hard up top. I would have liked to see him on the end of one of the few and far between crosses in the second half, but I am just glad he successfully finished Leyva's deflected shot. I can just see Maicon Santos finding a way to mess that up last season. Game Grade: 8 (Man of the Match)

this so that everyone can have access to their farm fresh produce and
other items - CSA member or not!
Tom and Sarah were only too happy to honor this request,
since they already visit us to drop off the current week's portion of
the garden goodies for their CSA members on Wednesdays anyway.

organically grown veggies, they will also bring some of their farm fresh
chicken, and just laid eggs.
Visit their web site and place an order,
just in case they sell out before you get there. Anything that's been
ordered in advance is held aside for you.
Also, let me clarify the "organic" part. They're not yet

Allow me to take a little trip into the not-so-distant future and give you a glimpse of what IT in the home might look like in five years. It all revolves around the concept of the digital furnace.
Many years ago, my good friend Desmond Fuller needed a central file server for his house. He got a small-spec Qube system with a reasonably large hard drive, put it in his basement near the furnace, and named it "furnace." It became the center of his home network, handling storage, DNS, DHCP, and a variety of other tasks that at the time weren't readily available in production consumer-NAS boxes. Now, of course, you can go to Best Buy and pick up a home NAS with large disks for a good price that performs the same functions. But that's the way these things work -- the early adopters build it for themselves, and at some point, it becomes a product for the masses. His concept of the digital furnace, however, is key.
Make no mistake: IT concepts and technologies are already entrenched in many homes, in the form of routers, firewalls, NAS units, desktops, etc., but home IT will soon take on a whole new approach, and the digital furnace will be the center point.
Imagine a box mounted to the wall in your basement. It has a few terabytes of storage, either SSD or hot-swap hard drives in a RAID array. It has no monitor, only a Web-management interface and a serial console. It probably runs Linux using an ARM processor and has a gigabit NIC, optional cable/satellite tuners, and maybe a gigabyte of RAM.
This box is responsible for all the digital I/O in your house -- TVs, movies, music, even the phones. It interfaces with your ISP/phone company and runs a small PBX that controls the IP phones located throughout the house and handles the voice-mail system. Your cell phone is also a SIP client and uses your home network to make and receive calls when you're there, using cell service only when you're out of the house. There are no analog phone lines necessary for the home -- the phone lines are just a SIP trunk. It also interfaces with your ISP to handle all TV and movie selections.

HONG KONG, June 23, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Ribose, a start-up redefining the way people collaborate, has joined the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) to help promote security in cloud computing.

Working together with the CSA, we can drive cloud service providers to strengthen their cloud security and promote greater responsibility and accountability in the cloud service industry."
Aloysius Cheang, Standards Secretariat and Managing Director APAC of CSA, said, "The CSA leads a lot of cloud research and continuously extends the possibilities of cloud computing through enhanced security. We are very glad that Ribose, a pioneer in cloud computing security in Asia, is joining the CSA. We also welcome Ronald, who brings his extensive technical experience to CSA's International Standardization Council, which has been pivotal in the activities leading to the development of cloud security related international standards since 2011."
Jim Reavis, Co-founder of the CSA, added, "As a pioneer in cloud security controls, Ribose is the very first provider worldwide to achieve STAR Certification with the latest CSA cloud standard, CCM3. We are delighted to welcome Ribose to the CSA, and we are certain that Ribose will contribute positively in protecting users' data in the cloud."

Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake: High-Def Screening of Breathtaking Ballet
- Full Price:
- $20.00
- Our Price:
- $10.00
Winner of more than 30 international theatre awards, including three Tonys and a Laurence Olivier Award, Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake is a triumphant and thrilling reinterpretation of Tchaikovsky's original, Russian folk tale-inspired ballet. Bourne's iconic and breathtaking production -- which revolves around a young crown prince, his distant mother and the swan that represents the prince's desire for freedom -- took the dance world by storm when it premiered in 1995, and is perhaps best known for its replacement of the traditional female corps de ballet with a menacing male ensemble. The performance featured in this stunning, high-definition screening was filmed at London's Sadler's Wells Theatre in 2011 with a cast that includes Richard Windsor, Dominic North and Nina Goldman.
