If There's A Nuclear Arms Race In Asia, Don't Blame North Korea
In a recent interview, South Korean President Park Geun-hye said, "It would be difficult for us to prevent a nuclear domino from occurring in this area," were North Korea to conduct another test.

The Astronomer Who Wanted to Rearrange the Solar System, Using Nukes
CalTech astronomer Fritz Zwicky was the first to conceive of dark matter, supernovas and neutron stars. He also had a theory about colonizing the solar system using nuclear bombs. We could terraform other planets, he argued, by pulverizing them and then moving them closer or further from the sun. »
Obama's Efforts to Reduce U.S. Nuclear Weapons Are Kind Of Pathetic
The White House has released figures on the size of the U.S. nuclear arsenal: Our stockpile consists of 4,804 warheads. The good news, according to the State Department, is that this number "represents an 85% reduction." The bad news: That's the total reduction since 1967. The last four years tell a different story. »
The Air Force is simplifying how it grades nuclear-missile officers who are authorized to key in launch codes. The service has "made the monthly [certification] test pass-fail," Air Force Chief of Staff Gen.

BT/Yahoo Portal Now Powered By … Not Yahoo, Not Bing, Google!
Those with BT broadband in the UK have noticed that the Yahoo/BT portal at bt.yahoo.com has a new search technology provider. You would guess that if Yahoo would replace their own search technology, it would be in exchange for Bing, in light of the recent news about the Bing & Yahoo deal. You would be wrong to think that because Google is now powering the search technology Yahoo/BT portal.
Here is a screen capture of the search box that now says, "Powered by Google," taken from ConnectedInternet.co.uk, which tipped us to this:

Battle of the Blades' Amanda Evora and Scott Thornton win $100,000 for charity
Skating contest champs Evora and Thornton take home $100,000 for their charity, the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
The willingness to relentlessly push the technical envelope by figure skater Amanda Evora and her hockey-playing partner Scott Thornton allowed them to triumph in the finale of CBC's Battle of the Blades as they were crowned season four champions Sunday night.
And for Evora it was a 29th birthday truly worth celebrating as she and Thornton received $100,000 for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation.
Canadians voted in the finale for which of three couples would win in a season that was undoubtedly the most athletic yet. Evora and Thornton, after less than a week of practice, dared to showcase what would become their signature triple twist, which ultimately gave them an edge over the other couples in the eyes of voters.
Second runners-up Violetta Afanasieva and Jason Strudwick received $35,000 for their charity and third runners-up Marie-France Dubreuil and Mathieu Dandenault got $30,000. The show has raised more than $1 million for charity since it started in 2009.
Battle of the Blades viewership has been down about 12 per cent since season three. Some of that that likely due to a hiatus that the CBC had to take in 2012 because of budget cuts.
But the series is still averaging a respectable million-plus viewers per show.
Given that Canada had already voted since last Friday, the finale had more than a little padding, with all 16 skaters returning for a special number.
Not a bad thing, since the teams feature 10 Stanley Cup winners and four Olympic medals among them.
But it's not quite over yet. A special one-hour episode Dec. 1 at 8 p.m. will feature new footage and reflections from judges and participants over the seven-week season.
Meanwhile, U.S. pairs silver medalist Evora and Stanley Cup champion Thornton can add some more hardware (actually crystal) over the fireplace, joining season one champions Jamie Salé and Craig Simpson, season two Champions Ekaterina Gordeeva and Valeri Bure, and season three Champions David Pelletier and Tessa Bonhomme.

Island Paradise- Mer Makoto X reader CHP 7allyrivaille
"Makoto, what's happening?" I asked forgetting that he couldn't speak that well.
He gave me a small smile and nudged my cheek his face. He then looked up at the man who had crouched down in front of me. At least he had the brains to wear pants. Makoto slowly climbed off me but held me down. I wasn't going anywhere fast.
"So you want to be one of us?" The man asked.
I looked at Makoto and he gave me a warm smile before grabbing my hand and squeezing it. I wanted to be with Makoto but I was scared. I would be leaving what I had back home to live in the ocean with a man I only met a few days ago. I knew I wanted to be with him. He was kind and even though he couldn't speak very well I knew he loved me a lot more than any words could explain.
I looked back at the man. "I do, I don't mind giving up my life on the land
Island Paradise- Mer Makoto X reader CHP 6allyrivaille
"Hi." I said meekly.
He didn't reply. His eyes were cold and dark and he looked like he was about to kill me at any moment. The waves were splashing in my face and the salt water was burning my eyes. I tried to move away from him but he held me down on the ground.
"Please let me go." I wimped as he continued to hold me down.
"Why are you here?" He growled bringing his face closer to mine.
I could see the sharp and razor like teeth in his mouth. I started shaking under his grip. I wanted to cry, I wanted to get away from him. I wanted to Makoto to come and save me and protect me from this man.
"I asked you a question." He yelled in my face.
"I was brought here by a friend. I mean no harm, I swear just leave me alone." I pleaded looking away from him.
Shards of Glass - Pr0logue - [Makoto x Reader]bluemegane
I never had normal dreams. Dreams, themselves, are not supposed to be normal, but mines would always cross the barrier of "not normal". I feel like I'm always pushed against a world I do not belong to, and see things I'm not supposed to. I feel things I should not.
Someone tells me things I probably will never hear.
I'm seeing this dream for the fifth time. Yes, I have been counting the times I saw this scenario. There's is a certain relaxing feeling about it so I make the effort of keep in mind how many times I've been here. I thought I wouldn't see this again when I stepped on this world for the second time. I was wrong, and in too many aspects.
I stretch my hands forward. I feel as if I'm already familiar with this place and thus it doesn't make me hesitant to do whatever I want. This is an image on my brain. This is something mine, or so I thought. I thought this time I should control it and write its own end. Seeing
~Just A Taste?~ Mihael Keehl |Death Note | MelloOppaFaustusStyle
"Come on."
"Just a taste?"
"Why not?!"
[Name] sighed. This had been going on for the past several minutes. Ever since she set foot into the room, holding that delectable bar of heaven.
"I shared my chocolate with you!" Mello argued.
"Yeah, once. And that was only because the piece you gave me fell on the floor." [Name] calmly answered before taking a bite out of her candy bar.
Mello opened his mouth, but couldn't come up with a legitimate comeback. He knew [Name] was right. He didn't like sharing any type of sweets with anyone. Not because he was greedy.
Chocolate was always an outlet for Mello. It calmed him, almost like a drug.
And the fact that he was out of that delicious substance, unable to satisfy his craving, was starting to get under Mello's skin.
"I'll pay you back."
"Oh? And how do you plan on doing that?" The young girl asked, raising an eyebrow.
Mello bit his tongue. He wasn't exactly a patient man, especially in a situation such as this.

~Never Leave Me~ Alois Trancy x ReaderOppaFaustusStyle
"[Name] darling! Please try to hurry! You don't want to be late, do you?" Your mother called as you began your descent down the staircase.
"Oh, of course not, mother." You replied sarcastically.
"Don't be that way, [Name]. Earl Trancy is a fine young man." Your father stated as he took his place beside your mother.
"That doesn't mean I have to marry him." You tried to argue.
"This topic is not up for debate. You are to marry Alois Trancy upon his 18th birthday, and that's final. You know our family needs this in order to move up in the world." Your father said, his voice stern. Rolling your eyes, you made your way to the front door.
"[Name]." Your mother began. It was her way of trying to reason with you.
"We should leave now. I wouldn't want to keep my fiancé waiting." You replied, sarcasm tainting your words, before walking outside and towards an awaiting carriage.
The ride to the Trancy manor was long, boring, and monotonous. Not to mention the extreme tension that w
~These Haunting Thoughts~ Alois TrancyOppaFaustusStyle
So very dark....
Even now, it seems like darkness will forever consume my very being.
It encompasses me, delicately wrapping its' cold, invisible fingers around me. Around my heart.
"Dinner is prepared, Master."
It is amusing how a simple flick of my wrist sends them scattering away like helpless cockroaches.
No... it's disgusting. Absolutely pitiful.
"Would you care for anything else, Master?"
"No. Leave. Now."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Yes, Your Highness... Yes, Your Highness.... if only you knew how badly those three simple words pain me.
But you do know... Don't you, Claude?
Yes, of course you do.
It's obvious. Why else would you repeat that phrase over and over again?
To torment me. To drive me insane.
To inflict psychological wounds far worse than you could ever hope to understand.
They have the gall to wonder why I lash out at them.
It's because deep down....
I'm scared.
Everyone seems to fawn over that Phantomhive brat. Even Claude.

You've been waiting ages for it, the new Ninja Storm Revolutions is coming out today, a video game series you've been playing since you were a young teen. It only got better and better, now with more characters to play as, better weapons, higher quality cutscenes... You could go on to list more reasons.melonbreadish
"So, are we getting it today or what? I'm just as looking forward to it as you are, un."
Deidara stood behind you, leaning his arm against the edge of the couch. You've been best friends since middle school, first meeting him in art class where you both were assigned to be partners. You knew somewhat about him, the kid always dozing off in lectures and sometimes sitting in detention hall for pulling pranks. Some of his memorable schemes are shaking teacher's soda drinks so it would later explode in their faces. You felt uneasy if you could work
Deidara x Reader ATTEMPT part 1What boring missions you were assigned to. It's not the first time you thought about it; it's been like this ever since you became a chuunin. The two others on your team barely said anything about it, but it was obvious they thought ill of this as well. Come to think of it, your team is pretty unusual. You were assigned to Kakashi's, temporarily, since there were no other openings. You've had some fun experiences with your teammates; but there was always Sasuke… he wasn't very fun to talk to. What was it about him? His eyes just seemed.. cold.KalyxEclipse
You avoided him whenever you could; stuck with Sakura, when she wasn't obsessing over him, or telling Naruto off. In fact, you and Sakura were pretty good friends.
"Where is he today?"
You blinked, snapping out of your deep thinking. "Who?" Turning to the pink-haired kunoichi, with a more fed-up look on her face. "Sasuke. I can't find him." She juddered her head a

Without warning you were woken with surprise as an arm shot out across the bed landing on your chest. Your (e/c), sleep deprived eyes stared at the limb that had suddenly appeared on your chest only to find the owner of it was none other than Deidara. With a low sigh you rolled over onto your side and shrugged his arm off of you, it wasn't that you hated his touch or anything of the sort, it was the fact that you knew Deidara was an insufferable bed hog and if you were to give him an inch he would simply take a mile.Evamarie111
Finally your eyes were closed again and you were just about to drift back into your slumber when a large weight was pressed down onto of you. A groan escaping your lips as it seemed that Deidara had practically rolled onto YOUR side of the bed right where you we
SebastianxReader: Maid Service13Youko
The young master of the house sat behind his desk looking at the paperwork in front of him. His eye patch covered his right eye leaving only his left deep blue eye visible. He sighed and reached for his tea cup taking a drink of the Earl Gray tea. The tall butler with raven black hair walked over to the desk.
"Is something wrong young master?" Sebastian asked looking down at his master with his red eyes. His eyes could clearly see the tension in his master's shoulders and how he gripped his tea cup too hard.
Ciel groaned releasing his tea cup. "It seems we're getting a new servant." He leaned back in his chair rubbing his forehead.
"A new servant sir?" Granted the ones they had were useless and caused Sebastian to have to do more work to keep everything running in the mansion. However, they weren't kept for their abilities to clean. A new servant may not have the same abilities that the others had.
"My aunt is insisting on it.
What the Hell is a Kiss? Sebastian X ReaderIt's been months since you were a maid of the Phantomhive Manor and you were fully used on the 'crimes' (more like the three servants' disaster) that were committed inside the Manor. As you look into your reflection, your (h/l) (h/c) hair was tied up into a loose bun with strands of hair framing around your face and matches your (e/c) eyes making you beautiful.flaminguchiha
You remembered the first day that you came into the manor:
"Young master, we have a guest." The demonic butler said. Ciel motioned him to let their guest in. Then, a young woman with (h/c) hair and (h/c) eyes entered his study. Ciel stared at the unfamiliar woman and he tugged a small smile at his lips.
"What's your name, miss?" Ciel placed his quill down as he stared at her shy face. He knew that this girl was too innocent.
"(name) (last name), my lord." She curtsied. Ciel gave a small nod.
"And what brings you here to my mansion?" Ciel laced his
Cloudy Thoughts. Sebastian X Reader OneshotVampireGodesNyx
"You should be watching over Master Ciel, not me." Your voice was weak and raspy from the endless coughing you'd done over the last few agonizing days. "It's only a little cold, I'll be just fine without you sitting over me like a worried mother hen." You smiled sweetly. "Now go, I'm sure Ciel needs you for something."
"I cannot properly serve my Master when a member of my team is ill. You are a vital piece in the mechanism that makes this home function." Sebastian lifted up a spoonful of soup and slowly moved it towards your mouth. "Now eat so you'll get well. You're greatly needed."
With the steaming spoonful now pressing against your lips, you opened your mouth and swallowed down the soothing liquid. "I really can feed myself you know. It's my throat that hurts. My arms, hands and fingers work just fine."
"Stop fighting me about this. I don't enjoy reiterating myself." He gave you a warning lo

NEW YORK (MainStreet) It's the twenty-first century, and just about everyone has a credit card that offers some kind of rewards program. Yet not all rewards plans are created equally. In fact, some cards have plans that might seem great on the surface, but just aren't worth it when you get down to it. We spoke to two of our credit card experts to help you decide which credit card rewards programs just aren't worth it -- and how to find the one that is.
One Credit Expert's Story
Erik Larson, CEO of NextAdvisor.com actually decided that one of his cards wasn't worth it when he was thinking about it before our interview. "I have this Bank of America card that I've had for ages," he explains, "But I haven't used it recently, and I realized that a lot of my points were expiring."
Larson believes that a lot of people might be in this situation with an old rewards card. However, it presents a conundrum: closing a credit card account causes your credit history to take a hit, because more established accounts create a longer credit history, which is attractive to potential lenders and other credit sources.
Same Company, Different Card, Big Rewards Gap
Eric Adamowsky of Credit Card Insider wasn't moved to rearrange his personal finances on the basis of our interview. He was far more straightforward about cards that just don't offer rewards worth having. He identified a branded card from a large big-box retailer as having pitiful rewards (1% cash back) when compared to its non-branded counterpart (5% cash back on rolling categories). "It doesn't even offer any branded perks," he says. "There are no incentives to even use it at that store."

As if you didn't already know: We're really into our collaboration with Lazy Oaf. It's not just because the clothes are so damn good or the inspiration so totally spot-on. Nope, it all starts with this little lady: LO's founder and the brains behind their so-zany operation, Gemma Shiel. We couldn't leave well enough alone (it's really not a major part of our repertoire), so we barged in on the Lazy Oaf workplace, took a lot of photos and asked too many questions. It was great.

- Work/Life Balance
- Senior Management
- Career Opportunities
I worked at Dealer.com
great benefits (gym, organic cafe, wellness classes, ski-resort seasons pass discounts, etc.); decent salary; lots of smart, competent, friendly people to work with. sometimes you'll get a fun project to work on.
espoused "work-life balance" is a joke: even though wellness classes are offered and the gym is easily accessible, you'll rarely have time to make use of any of these resources due to your workload. in Development, 50-60 hour weeks are commonplace.
further, since the company has grown so fast in such a short period of time, management has had to grow the bureaucratic layers of management as well, but it's all been rushed and in my opinion it hasn't gone very well. for example, middle-management has been talking for more than a year now about creating "road maps" for people to follow for career paths at Dealer, but these have yet to materialize.
- also:
I witnessed numerous occurrences (5 to be precise) of extremely poor communication between supervisors and those who worked under them, myself included. people I knew who by all accounts of those who knew them would get fired for seemingly insignificant things that reportedly were never raised during performance reviews. moral of the story here is that you can't trust performance reviews to mean anything at Dealer.com (if you should ever get one - in my 3+ years there, I never had a single one). fair warning.
learn how to communicate not only positive, but especially potentially negative information, in a timely manner with the people you manage. proactively attempt to resolve situations before they become problems instead of keeping silent like a coward until it's axe-time.
also, you've bitten off more than you can chew - it's nice to get contracts, but you're ruining the morale of the people who are trying to make it all happen.
you guys used to have a soul, and I loved you for it. but since you've gotten big, you've lost that spark that made you great. it's sad ... but I'm glad to no longer work at Dealer.com.

2012 Chardonnay, Carrick Winery(6x75cl)
Tropical fruits along with the cool climate attributes of Central Otago combine to make a truly amazing Chardonnay that could rival anything else in the world. It is a flinty elegant wine with good structure and balance. Barrel fermented in French oak.
2013 Sauvignon Blanc, Mansion House Bay(6x75cl)
Straw green. Gooseberry, redcurrant and lemon aromas, full and assertive on the nose and palate. Medium to full bodied with vibrant acidity intertwined with crisp fruits. Finishes with a zesty, long finish.
2013 Vernaccia di San Gimignano, Cecchi(6x75cl)
Vernaccia is characterised by a light straw colour which tends to become golden with ageing. Its fine persistent aroma has a fresh and harmonious balance with a light aftertaste reminiscent of bitter almonds. It is well structured with well balanced body and acidity.
2013 Chardonnay, Lanya(6x75cl)
A nose with scents of lime, lemon and hint of peach. In the mouth the wines has a dazzling acidity that leaves a refreshing aftertaste.
2013 Capitel Foscarino IGT, Anselmi(12x75cl)
Shows great depth and character, with ripe fruit reminiscent of peaches with floral elements, fresh balanced acidity and a long, persistent finish.
2013 Bianco di Custoza(6x75cl)
Pale yellow colour; subtle aromas; dry with delicate fruit notes
2011 Sancerre Blanc, Domaine du Carrou, Dominique Roger(6x75cl)
A grassy nose with hints of gooseberries; well balanced palate with a good concentration of fruit and racy acidity.
2012 Gewurztraminer, Trimbach(6x75cl)
Full, balanced and very aromatic. Depending on the vintage, the principal aromas of Gewurztraminer are lychee, rose, ginger and geranium. The Trimbach Gewurztraminer is dry and shows classic restraint, without any loss of the Gewurztraminer's exotic and spicy feature.
2013 Blanco Rueda, Marqués de Riscal(6x75cl)
Brilliant straw colour. Superb example of Verdejo varietal wine with a mixture of tropical fruit aromas and hints of fennel and fresh green grass. Refreshing mouthfeel, full bodied with a slight final bitterness which gives it complexity and the very characteristic personality of wines of this variety.
2012 Blanco Joven Chardonnay, Bodega Otto Bestué(6x75cl)
Pale lemon yellow colour. Fresh aromas of apple, white flowers and citrus fruits. Intense and rich flavours.

Once upon a time, there was a cobbler whose child ran around town without any shoes.
"Look at her," one villager whispered to another. "Barefoot again! Is he such a workaholic he can't make his own daughter one pair of shoes?"
"Maybe he's lazy," continued a third. "Or greedy, and wants to keep all the merchandise for himself."
Nice work by John Owens on the "...Buttafuocoed" article (Anton Weekly, March 22). His take on what is needed to revitalize Long Island makes a great deal of sense. The problem, as I see it, is that we lack political leadership that has any sense of vision for this area. The politicians are too vested in partisan politics and patronage. They lack the intelligence, experience and commitment to develop any bold, creative solutions to Long Island's challenges.
Having lived in Nassau for over 40 years and having worked in Suffolk for 20 years, it never ceases to amaze me how dysfunctional the governmental process is in both counties. It is a half-century history of one stupid decision after another; one missed opportunity after another. For this to happen in a state as great as New York, and in close proximity to a city as vibrant as NYC, is embarrassing and destructive.
Thanks for framing the economic picture and highlighting viable initiatives so effectively.
Richard Collins
"School boards have long supported the goals of the new teacher and principal evaluation system as a way to improve student achievement," said NYSSBA Executive Director Timothy G. Kremer. "Our analysis, however, shows that the cost of this state initiative falls heavily on school districts. This seriously jeopardizes school districts' ability to meet other state and federal requirements and properly serve students."
The murder of Marcelo Lucero lingers as a scar on Long Island's conscience.
Four and a half years after the savage hate crime, we still struggle to understand how those involved in the attack could act with such horrific violence. And at the same time we struggle to understand the climate of anger towards immigrants from which this savagery emerged, a rising tide of hatred that clearly helped buoy the attackers to action. The attack was clearly a particularly brutal eruption of a very big problem and in a very real way, the angry teenagers who killed Marcelo Lucero are rightly serving prison sentences for the act, but they didn't act alone.
As a long time resident of Hicksville, I find it hard to believe that our elected officials would vote to split Hicksville up into three county legislative districts. It seems now that our elected officials are trying to destroy our town. The voice of Hicksville has now been muted by this vote.
I voted for our elected official because I thought that they would have the best interest of the people and the town of Hicksville in mind when they voted. I can only surmise that other interests where more important than Hicksville and the people who elected you.
When I was elected County Executive, in the midst of the worst economic downturn in decades, I knew I would need some creative ideas, call it a new way of thinking, to help people who had lost their jobs get back to work.
Recognizing that jobs are the key to a growing economy, I instituted job fairs to link the unemployed with businesses and corporations in need of workers. I also invested funds in job training and retraining centers with our local towns. In partnership with the County's Industrial Development Agency, I offered incentives that helped create and retain more than 3,500 private sector jobs. My administration worked hand-in-hand with businesses and corporations to ensure they–and their employees—stayed in Nassau County.
The announcement last week by Northrop Grumman Corp. (Grumman to those of us who have been on this Island awhile) that it will transfer 850 jobs from its Bethpage facility to Florida and California should come as no shock.
The company, once Long Island's largest and best-known employer, has been sending jobs South for more than two decades. At one point, in the 1980s, the company employed 25,000 people on the Island, built the Navy' premier fighter, the F-14 Tomcat, and, in the 1960s, built the Lunar Lander that took Apollo astronauts to the moon.
The Sarah Grace Foundation for Children With Cancer, Inc., based in Hicksville, is proud to announce that the Parental Bereavement Act of 2013, also known as the Sarah Grace-Farley-Kluger Act, has been formally introduced to the United States Congress.
Congressman Steve Israel (D-NY) has worked closely with The Sarah Grace Foundation to help develop this bill, an amendment to the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA), and presented it to Congress along with Senator Jon Tester (D-MT) on Feb. 5.
171,476 - 47,156. Wondering what these numbers represent? These totals are the enormous amount of vocabulary afforded to us, both full entries and obsolete, that exists in the Oxford Dictionary, 2nd edition. So, with all these choices why is it that a good amount of today's population opt to express themselves, and I am being gentle when I identify their language usage as "colorful" at best?
Since the birth of cable television non-censorship seems to have morphed into a "right." There are little to non-existent guidelines with content. Recently while tuning into a network program that is viewed at 9 p.m., appearing on the screen before the credits began to roll were warnings advising that mature content, violence, language, and sexual content would be part of this program.
The Nassau County Legislature Rules Committee voted recently to adopt a redistricting map that will break Hicksville into three separate legislative districts. At the hearing, Chairwoman Norma Gonsalves denied that the map was gerrymandered, further stating that the Supreme Court has not defined gerrymandering. The Supreme Court may not have defined it but much like their approach to pornography, I know gerrymandering when I see it and this map is a classic gerrymandering effort. For example, parts of downtown Hicksville, along with two elementary schools (East Street and Burns Avenue) would fall into the new 14th district, which will span an east-west swath of Nassau County from Garden City to Old Bethpage! North Hicksville will fall into the new 16th district that stretches from Roslyn Estates to the Suffolk border! South Hicksville will follow a north-south axis to Merrick Road in the new 17th district.
I implore Legislator Rose Walker, our current legislator and longtime resident of Hicksville, to vote against the demise of historic Hicksville as a political entity. The State Senate has already broken Hicksville into three separate districts, none of which matches the proposed county legislative boundaries. Common sense should prevail.

Rap mogul Jay-Z continues his trend of opting out of appearing on new albums as his new Magna Carta Holy Grail LP shows a Jigga-less cover.
Rather than go with an introspective design, Jay's new LP cover simply bears the title's initials.
Jay Z's highly anticipated 12th studio album, Magna Carta Holy Grail, is days away from dropping and the cover art has been released. It's a simple design. His labelmate and friend Kanye West recently released an album with simple cover art as well. Thought West's cover looks like an intricate design when compared to Jay Z's album cover. (Fansided)

Leading to its release later this week, Mr. Carter has released a series of mini-clips decoding tracks like "Heaven."
"This song is like, toying with the idea of being on heaven or hell on Earth. No matter what religion you are, accept other people's idea because have 'you' ever been to heaven? Have you ever seen, you know what I'm saying? My idea is heaven is in your daughter's laughter. Hell could be if your child is missing for three minutes, you're in three minutes of hell. It's just not my beliefs that a just God will make you burn to eternity for free will that he gave you." (YouTube)
Contributing producer Swizz Beatz recently gave fans an idea of what to expect from the mystery project.
He continues: "[Fans] always want to go back to the classics. You always have that hunger of 'Man, why didn't he didn't he just… Man, he's supposed to…' It's always going to be that. For the first time in a long time I think someone solved that problem. He did that with this album." (VIBE)

Enterprise CIO Forum editorial director Bill Laberis moderates a series of videos on the critical enterprise topic of security.
It's Halloween, and the end of National Cyber Security Awareness Month (NCSAM). And we here at IDG and the Enterprise CIO Forum would like to end October leaving you with six 'spooky' cyber security statistics.
Take a look below.
I whip out my device to make a payment at the checkout counter of our local hardware store. And I pause. Should I let the point-of-sale system extract all my data?
On a recent flight, as we began our descent, the flight shuddered with some ups and downs from turbulence -- giving me that insecure feeling. I looked out the window and saw dense cloud formations. This aircraft (symbolic of an enterprise) was in the Cloud. Hence the turbulence and that insecure feeling. As the aircraft descended further, I could clearly see the beautiful Florida landscape. Clear skies. But then turbulence occurred again -- even
Recently, I encrypted my device based upon a recommended precautionary procedure. However, I later learned that this was only meant for a select set of devices. Of course, my device was not one of them!
"If you're been secretly watering your lawn at night during a drought emergency, then even the data on the sprinkler controller can land you in hot water if it ends up in the wrong hands," says Maria Bledsoe, Senior Manager of HP Fortify, in this Information Week article.
The rapid evolution of technology, in combination with global economic upheaval over the past few years, has caused a massive shift in the information security landscape. As a result, businesses are finding that they have even more limited resources than ever before which must be prioritized to areas of greatest need or return. The task of determining priorities is difficult in itself; the imperative is delivering more for less, both in terms of new investment and existing resources.
Well over a decade ago, Gary McGraw and co-author John Viega penned a book with a simple premise: build software that includes security from the get-go, rather than stove-piping it on after the fact. Now, a dozen years "Building Secure Software: How to Avoid Security Problems the Right Way" was released, McGraw notes there's been notable progress made—yet not enough.
CIO's are Chief Officers for Information. This means end-to-end responsibility and accountability for the collection, analysis and dissemination of the most valuable asset in the enterprise — information. While accuracy and timely delivery of the information is important, securing the information that matters is vital.
One of the biggest opportunities for enterprise companies to improve security is by integrating security more closely with the greater organization. For instance, knowing that a computer that's actively connecting to application resources is owned by someone on vacation may signal a potential security breach. Instead of pretending that security is impenetrable, organizations need to accept that a breach is possible and create an environment designed to result in the longest response time reasonable.

Zaha reveals radical changes to Olympic Aquatic Centre - images
The Olympic Delivery Agency (ODA) has revealed the latest images of Zaha Hadid and S&P Architects' plans for the Aquatic Centre for the 2012 Games.The scheme has been radically overhauled and will now feature a roof almost three times smaller than the original proposals ( bottom) - the new structure will cover 14,000m 2compared to the 35,000m 2envisaged in the competition-winning design. Another loss is the unusual wave-like dip in the roof form which was a key characteristic of the first design. According to the ODA's chief executive David Higgins, the rationale behind the redesign has been to 'reduce the risk' associated with building the complex pool structure. Higgins, speaking at a press conference earlier today (27 November), said: 'The reasons for the design changes are legacy and risk. 'We have to ensure buildability is tied in with the design and we are confident that the development of the design makes it so.' Despite growing media speculation that the project's budget was ballooning out of control, both Hadid and Higgins denied that the anticipated costs had driven the recent shake up. Hadid added: 'This was never about cost savings - it was about making the building work. It was not a cost issue.' However, Higgins did admit that, because the roof was smaller, costs would be reduced. He also mentioned that the latest proposals would rely on significantly less steel. Once the 2012 Games are over the building will be reduced in size from a 20,000-seat, twin-pool stadium to a 3,500-seat public facility. Part of the latest design will be temporary, removable seating, which will sit under short-term, curved roof extensions. At the press conference, Hadid sidestepped questions about the energy-efficiency of the new scheme - an element of the project which the Green Party in particular has been concerned about. Higgins said the building would be powered by a central biomass source, which will help power the whole Games. by Richard Waite

Boston Celtics: 2013PreseasonGame5
Postgame notes: King of the Hill
October, 16, 2012
By Chris Forsberg | ESPNBoston.com
BOSTON -- Before the start of Tuesday's exhibition tilt against the Brooklyn Nets, Boston Celtics coach Doc Rivers told reporters to leave early in order to watch the presidential debate, and he'd consider doing the same. It seemed like he was joking, but maybe he wasn't.
Rivers tossed the keys to the coaching car to assistant Armond Hill at halftime and remained in the locker room for the second half. If Rivers had the debate on, he had a second TV with the game nearby as Hill said he knew every detail.
And even though the Celtics' third-teamers coughed up a double-digit lead in the final minutes as the Nets emerged with a 97-96 triumph at TD Garden, it was a good learning experience for Hill.
"[Rivers] just came to me and said, 'Armond, you're coaching the second half,'" explained Hill. "He's always said that as much as players are in training camp, so are the coaches. And so what would happen if he gets thrown out? We have to be prepared."
The Celtics were up two coming out of halftime, but soon stretched their lead as high as 12 in the second half. That lead was still at nine with less than three minutes to go before the Nets rallied against a Boston lineup that featured Kris Joseph, Fab Melo, Rob Kurz, Micah Downs and Jason Collins.
Rivers told Hill that he should have kept a ball-handler on the floor with that unit as Boston rushed shots with a chance to take the clock down. But Courtney Lee was cramping and Hill let the younger players work through their struggles.
Boston still had a couple of chances to win the game and unofficial assistant coach Rajon Rondo grabbed the clipboard to draw up a final play. An inbounds lob gave Downs a chance to convert an alley-oop at the rim, but he couldn't get the shot off in traffic.
"We got what we were looking for," Rondo said. "I just can't really comment on it. I think you get fined for saying certain things as a coach, so I think the guys did a great job executing out of the timeout, and it just didn't come up."
Hill, who smoothly handled Rivers' postgame duties with the media, liked being thrown into the fire.
"I can only thank Doc for giving me the opportunity to coach," Hill said. "That's what we're all here for. He's taught me; I've been with him and he'll continue to teach me and he's given me another opportunity."
And what about Rondo? Does he have a future in coaching?
"He always says, 'I'll never be a coach,' but he has that instinct," Hill said. "He has a great basketball IQ, so I hope he does it."
Rapid Reaction: Nets 97, Celtics 96
October, 16, 2012
By Chris Forsberg | ESPNBoston.com
Greg M. Cooper/US PresswireJeff Green drives hard to the basket during Tuesday's exhibition game against Brooklyn.BOSTON -- Rapid reaction after the Brooklyn Nets defeated the Boston Celtics 97-96 during exhibition play Tuesday night at TD Garden:
Celtics captain Paul Pierce put together his finest outing of the postseason, erupting for 29 points on 10-of-17 shooting, while adding five rebounds and a pair of blocks over 26:46. Courtney Lee, running with the starters, chipped in 13 points, 4 assists, 2 rebounds and a steal. The Nets didn't play any of their top six players -- starters Deron Williams, Joe Johnson, Gerald Wallace, Kris Humphries and Brook Lopez were held out, while MarShon Brooks is battling right foot tendinitis. Andray Blatche seized the opportunity as the Wizards amnesty castoff finished with 23 points on 8-of-12 shooting with nine rebounds over 24:57.
Celtics coach Doc Rivers elected to watch the
The Celtics started Lee and Jared Sullinger alongside their Big Three. Sullinger got a taste of a physical game matching up early with Reggie Evans ... Darko Milicic (mild right wrist sprain) did not play and received a cortisone shot after the game. He is not expected to play Thursday in Brooklyn, but Rivers hoped to have him back on the floor against the Knicks on Saturday in Albany, N.Y. ... Jeff Green hit the floor hard midway through the second quarter, but was no worse for the wear. Green didn't have a great night shooting the ball (some layups wouldn't fall), but got to the line consistently (7-of-8 overall).
The Celtics (1-4) won't fret another exhibition loss, even if it was against the Nets' junior varsity squad. And given the dud that Boston delivered in Philadelphia on Monday, this was a preseason step in the right direction. Rivers' assistants (Armond Hill, Kevin Eastman and Mike Longabardi ran the bench) got some valuable experience, the core players got some solid run and most of the crowd headed to the exits before the youngsters gave up the lead.
Pregame: Health updates, cut reactions
October, 16, 2012
By Chris Forsberg and Greg Payne | ESPNBoston.com
BOSTON -- A handful of pregame notes before the Boston Celtics host the Brooklyn Nets in exhibition play at TD Garden:
* Celtics coach Doc Rivers chalked up the decision to cut Dionte Christmas and Jamar Smith to not enough spots on the 15-man roster. "Two good kids, both played hard," Rivers said. "Just really came down to numbers, and we just didn't have enough room."
* Rivers said the team still plans to keep 15 players and is open to someone from the outside if a cheap veteran can help this team at any position, not just a backup ball-handler. "Maybe the Heat will cut LeBron [James] or whoever," he said. "We're always looking. Every team is always looking. If nothing comes, does that bother us? No. It'd be great to get another guy at any position. Obviously, at [point guard] it would help, but we can't also forget that Avery [Bradley] is coming back too. We don't want to overdo the point guard thing." Rivers did caution that the moves are in no way a reflection that Bradley is moving closer to a return.
* Center Darko Milicic will sit out Tuesday's game -- and likely Thursday's trip to Brooklyn as well -- due to what the team dubbed a mild right wrist sprain. Milicic said he will get a cortisone shot to alleviate the pain after Tuesday's game and Rivers said he hoped to have him back on the floor for Saturday night's game against the Knicks in Albany, N.Y.
* Forward/center Chris Wilcox said his back is feeling better, but he will not rush back with a focus on conditioning and strength. "I'm just not ready," Wilcox said. "I'm not comfortable right now. When my strength and my conditioning get where they need to be, then I'm going to get back out there. I don't want to go back out there too early and sit out again. I want to make sure this time when I come back, I'm right."
* Rookie second-round draft pick Kris Joseph talks about on the difficulty of seeing Christmas and Smith get cut Tuesday. "It's tough because you build relationships with those guys," Joseph said. "Especially Jamar and I. We really built a good relationship, camaraderie, on and off the court. And just to know that they put in just as much work as me, and they've been working just as hard, and to see them go, it's tough. But that's just the nature of the business." Rivers said the long-term potential of Joseph separated him from the others at this point.
W2W4: C's vs. Nets (Preseason Game 5)
October, 16, 2012
By Greg Payne | ESPNBoston.com
Nathaniel S. Butler/NBAE/Getty ImagesThe new-look Nets invade Boston on Tuesday night for a preseason battle.Fresh off a 32-point beatdown at the hands of the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday night, the Celtics return to Boston for their first preseason game at TD Garden and a first glance at the new-look Brooklyn Nets. With All-Star shooting guard Joe Johnson joining the likes of Deron Williams, Brook Lopez, and Gerald Wallace, the Nets should emerge as a viable threat to Boston's Atlantic Division dominance. Here's what we'll be watching for on Tuesday night:
* BOUNCE-BACK EFFORT: Sure, it's still the preseason, and head coach Doc Rivers isn't going to overreact to a loss, but he still wasn't pleased with Monday's lackluster effort. The Celtics backed up sloppy play with a pedestrian effort against the 76ers, doing very little to halt Philly once it got rolling. A more competitive mindset needs to be embraced on Tuesday, with Brooklyn making its first appearance. Being on their home floor for the first time should help matters, as should Boston having enough pride to not absorb back-to-back blowout losses, even during exhibition season.
* RONDO VS. WILLIAMS: It won't boast the intensity of the regular season or (potentially) postseason meetings between two of the league's top point guards, but Rajon Rondo and Deron Williams should each be good for a handful of highlights Tuesday night. Both have a history of stepping up when another of the league's top quarterbacks lines up in front of them, so it'll be interesting to see if those mindsets can be tamed with very little on the line on Tuesday. If nothing else, it's a free preview of what could be a blossoming rivalry with both players leading playoff contenders.
* TURNOVERS: Boston's Achilles heel from the last few seasons struck again Monday night, as the Celtics coughed up the ball 21 times (good for 20 Philadelphia points). Too many of Boston's giveaways came on unforced errors and lazy passes, which circles back to the initial effort issue. Some turnovers Rivers will be able to live with, if they come in the flow of Boston trying to do the right things. But when they're nothing more than an ugly blemish, they become far more difficult to forgive. The C's should look to clean up this part of their act on Tuesday.
* ROSTER OPENINGS: As the preseason rolls along at a fairly blistering pace, the pressure continues to mount for the fringe players fighting to secure one of Boston's final roster spots. While Dionte Christmas looks to be leading that charge right now, Jamar Smith is a handful of made jump shots away from re-entering the conversation (nothing will fall for him so far this preseason), and Kris Joseph could still be making progress on the practice floor. But with only half the exhibition schedule remaining, the time is now for these players to put forth their best auditions.
