The main difference between all the "Earth-friendly" artists that jumped on the Live Earth bandwagon (or flew to the concerts on fuel-guzzling private jets, in the case of the Beastie Boys and Red Hot Chili Peppers) and French death-metal band Gojira is that Gojira gives a crap whether it's fashionable or not. Since forming in 1996, the band that takes its moniker from the Japanese word for Godzilla has been singing songs about the environment. Its latest album, the profoundly heavy and atmospheric From Mars to Sirius, tells the story of a man who witnesses the end of the world, learns how to fly from some whales, then journeys to Sirius, where he learns how to restore life on Earth. If that sounds like some psychedelic pipe dream, so does Gojira's music. Though the band's backbone is a mixture of thrash and death metal, the songs are fleshed out with progressive timing changes, a variety of vocal styles (from screaming to growling to overdubbed harmonies), and reverberating guitars whose chords sound trapped somewhere between Meshuggah and Mastodon. Quite simply, in a genre that usually sounds crunchy and confined, Gojira sounds huge, like the conscientious monster it is.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -- Authorities say 12 students had to be decontaminated after a 10-year-old child used pepper spray at an elementary school in Memphis.
Memphis Fire Department spokesman Wayne Cooke says one child was taken to a hospital after the spraying at Whitney Elementary School early Thursday afternoon. Cooke says the child was having breathing issues but was expected to recover.
Eleven other students had their faces washed at the school to remove the burning effects of the spray.
Memphis police spokeswoman Karen Rudolph says investigators are trying to determine where the child got the pepper spray.

A stroke occurs when a blood vessel, carrying oxygen and nutrients to the brain, is either blocked by a clot or bursts. It is a life-threatening emergency as brain cells rapidly begin to die. Quick intervention is vital. Stroke can happen to anyone at any time, regardless of race, gender or age.
With Primary Stroke Centers in our community hospitals and our Stroke & Cerebrovascular Center at Baptist Jacksonville, our system of care is designed to provide adults and children throughout the region with fast access to stroke diagnosis and treatment.
Our hospitals have achieved Primary Stroke Center certification, which ensures compliance with national standards for the diagnosis and treatment of patients who, following CT scan, have a diagnosis of Ischemic Stroke, Hemorrhagic Stroke, or Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA). Baptist Jacksonville is pursuing certification as a comprehensive stroke center.
Medical leadership for the Baptist Stroke & Cerebrovascular Center is provided by world-renown neurosurgeons Ricardo Hanel, MD and Eric Sauvageau, MD, with Lyerly Neurosurgery.

Love that scroll. What a lot of beading along the bottom.
I took very early retirement thinking I would have much more time to do my textile work but I am still short of time. I don't think there will ever be enough hours in the day to do what we want to do.

Yes, Easter is finally here and so are the blossoming flowers! But if you're like most of us, you may be wondering how you're going to keep those beautiful Easter blossoms alive after the holiday ends.
Charmaine Prewitt, owner of Blossoms and Bows, explains it's not as hard as you may think.
"So with the Easter Lilly, after the blossoms have all opened and then they have expired then you cut the steam area right about 2 inches from the top of the pot and you dry the bulb out," said Prewitt, "Then, you place it into the ground in the fall and you will have an Easter Lilly in late spring early summer."
Charmaine also said can have a green thumb, it just comes down to educating yourself on each individual plant and knowing what it needs to grow and thrive.
A few other helpful tips include:
1. Watering your potted Easter flower, only when the soil feels dry to the touch.
2. Removing the decorative foil paper from around the pot a few days after receiving the plant.
3. When planting always choose a sunny location in your garden.
4. Easter Lily's in particularity love humidity.
5. Try placing the potted plant in a cool room each night, to keep it looking healthy for longer.

Blue Water High is an Australian show targeted to teens that ran for three seasons from 2005 - 2008. Each seasons followed a different group of Australian surfers who had been chosen to take place in a year long training course at the Solar Blue Academy, at the end of the year there would be a final surf off and the best male and female would win a ticket on to the pro circuit. Season one brought us Rebecca "Bec" Sanderson, Dean "Edge" Edgely, Perri Lawe, Matthew "Matt" Leyland, Fiona "Fly" Watson, Heath Carroll and Anna Petersen. Craig "Simmo" Simmonds was head coach while Deborah "Deb" Callum took care of the management and Jilly. Season one quickly became a big hit with various related competitions were held and even live interviews which fans could watch online.Season two had Deb moved back to management buildings while Fly decided to be a coach at the academy. The new surfers were Eric Tanner, Amy Reed, Mike Kruze, Brooke Solomon, Corey Petrie and Rachel Samuels. The second season wasn't as well received as the first, with the main problem being overly dramatic. It was still popular.Season three came after almost two year of waiting and brought with it lot of changes. Solar blue had been purchased by a company that didn't really want to keep funding it, giving an in-universe version of Executive Meddling. Simmo had been fired, Jilly had left and Bec had been given the job of head coach. Gary Miller was soon chosen as trainer. The students this year were Guy Spender, Charley Prince, Adam Bridge, Bridget Sanchez, Loren Power and Cassie Cometti. The third season received mixed reviews, many anti's citing the over use of humour.Blue Water High is notable for being one of only two Australian teen shows to receive three seasons for the decade 2000-2009, the other being H2O: Just Add Water.

MS uses court order to take out Waledac botnet
Microsoft has won a court-issued take-down order against scores of domains associated with controlling the spam-spewing Waledac botnet. The software giant's order allows the temporary cut-off of traffic to 277 Internet domains that form command and control nodes for the network of compromised machines. Infected (zombie) machines …
Educating Users Would Be Better Idea
If Microsoft actually had a clue about PC security they would educate users about *not* running their PC in Administrator mode, except to install software, configure network and printers etc.
This should be both explicitly told the user at install time and it should be communicated in TV spots. Then there should be something like "safewindows.com" with a couple of educational videos for end users.
But hey, that is much tooooo complicated for the stupidos running windowze.
Educating users

great in principle. I have so many programs that I reject on our domain because they wont run as a normal user.
educating users would be better Idea
Except relying on the average user to not do something is bound to fail. A simpler solution that would defeat most/all malware infections is to set the Microsoft Word Viewer as the default and make normal.dot read-only per user. Oh, and lastly not using Internet Explorer, or Outlook ...
Far too many applications either won't run properly when run under a 'standard user' account or won't run at all. Many more won't install, won't update, won't do certain basic tasks. Microsoft has no control over this. I set up my father's system (WinXP) with a 'standard' account and hid away the admin account; before six months were up he was so pissed at the way things worked (or, rather, didn't work) that he insisted that I give him admin privs on what was, after all, his computer. Six months after that, he was so pissed at what were sufficiently clear to even a very non-technical 77-year-old retiree were serious security problems with Windows that he junked it and got a Mac instead... which he runs from a 'standard' account, not an admin account, 'cause that actually can be made to work properly there. This is in large part because the apps he runs on the Mac (many of them written by the same people as those he'd run on Windows) do _not_ misbehave nearly as badly when not granted admin privs at all times.
And, oh, Tuxers, go suck on an ice cube, he didn't even consider running Linux 'cause the apps he runs don't work there. Period. End of story. And no, he's not about to learn how to write replacements for 'em himself, and I'm not gonna do it either. The apps in question include certain popular word-processing, spreadsheet, and associated other productivity apps, certain personal-finance and tax-prep apps, and a whole bunch of entertainment apps, many of which later not only are both Mac and Windows compatible and are_ NOT_ available for Linux, but the Mac and Windows versions ship on the same damn disc. And which he spends literal hours playing, so he simply is not going to consider a system that doesn't support them. And, no, I can't understand why a simple game would need admin privs in Windows, either. Especially when that same game doesn't need admin privs in Mac OS X.
that's fixable
Nine times out of ten those pesky "only an admin can run it" programs WILL run if you give the user modify permissions to that specific program's Program Files Folder. No other privileges required.
Of course that really irritates the 'I was using this program as an excuse to get admin rights on my box and install what I like" crowd.............
A title?
I get sick and tired of having to work out applications which require admin rights because of bad design - it really hacks me off.
Most of these applications will work as non admin but you will possibly need to change registry permissions on branches or folder permissions but it takes time to work it all out - Process Monitor is a big help for this though.
Microsoft should make user accounts to default to user level only and make it differcult to setup administrator accounts and make warning appear like if running a standard application as admin (i.e. like Gnome and KDE applications do under Linux).
They should also make a application which will monitor an application to check for it's folder and registry usage (you can do this with Process Monitor and filtering by application but it's a real pain if you're setting up a new PC with multiple applications like this).
I don't think Microsoft are always to blame for the security of Windows; it just users are lazy and use Admin for everything.
one problem...
are said programs microsoft products?
As much as I love pointing out every mistake MS makes, they really has no control over what ISVs write (hence being an "Independnt" Software Vendor).
I suppose they could take an iphone-like approach where every bit of software has to be approved, and get a microsoft-approved cryptographic-signiture. you'd have to by everything from the microsoft store... They could even get HW vendors to include a chip (let's call it a "Trusted Platform Management" chip) so the hardware would only run signed code.
hmm... anyone else think this might get antitrust regulators on them? RMS would have a heartattack!
"And, no, I can't understand why a simple game would need admin privs in Windows, either. Especially when that same game doesn't need admin privs in Mac OS X"
Game developers are the worst cowboys in the industry.
Back in the DOS days some games would require that you boot from their disk to run - which was just asking to be infected by old school boot-sector viruses.
Points to the real problem
"he didn't even consider running Linux 'cause the apps he runs don't work there."
The real problem here, as ever, are the users. I often get the 'I don't care about the dangers just make it work' ran t from people I am trying to help. To me this is the same as crying toddlers in shops screaming 'but mummy I want the shiny things' . Users have been trained by clever marketing to think that the occasional virus infection and the cost of clean-up/re install/replacement is part of the cost of owning a computers. They don't see it as such as bad thing. I find it amazing how many people say that they have nipped out to PC world and bought a new computer because the old one was old and had slowed down so much. It's like people think computers wear out as they get older.
If you told people that in order to use a particular brand of in car entertainment system they could no longer lock their car doors they might think twice about having it installed. On the other hand they might just think 'but I want the shiny things , the man in the shop told me it would do everything I want'.
"Microsoft's enforcement action is welcome, but it treats only the symptoms - and not the root cause - of the botnet epidemic."
Yep. We all know the cause... MS themselves and their sloppy OS.
The first poster started by saying "If Microsoft actually had a clue about PC security..." which I think sums up the problem nicely.
If the IP originates in Asia, BLOCK IT.
How many times do we have to read the word "China" in these articles before network administrators get the clue and start blocking traffic based on geography? Just how many company networks really need to serve traffic from China? Heck, most could probably safely block any non-US traffic with no impact on their business.
Wouldn't help
They will get none of the email coming from their own factories. Wouldn't get much done that way. I've got two words for you, 'global' 'economy'.
Please be sure to let the general public know if you ever implement such a strategy, so that those of us who have friends, family, or business in India, the Philippines, South Korea, or Japan can avoid you.
I hate to admit it
...but AC has a point. If I put a rule on our main firewall that drops all inbound traffic NOT from the USA and ALSO drops all outbound traffic to anywhere EXCEPT the USA (and the UK for The Reg of course), my network and users would have ZERO impact. Unless of course there's a search result piping me to a bot drone "web server" punting malware. Since Google or their ilk don't provide search results from their "anywhere in the world" datacenters /directly/, shouldn't be an issue. Now, to look up the IP ranges provided to US-based carriers....
"Heck, most could probably safely block any non-US traffic with no impact on their business."
Well that's right because we're so backwards over here in Europe that we have no idea what this internet thing even is.
More tea anyone?

Block - Asia (excluding Japan, maybe South Korea), Eastern Europe, Africa, Central and South America
Then , of course, you can selectively block and unblock more specific areas.

Time for a change?
Isn't it time (or rather well overdue?!) for some kind of replacement for good old SMTP mail with security provisions built in to stop, or at least cut down a lot, of the spam scum??
Re: Time for a change?
> Isn't it time ... for some kind of replacement for ... SMTP ?
SMTP delivers what you tell it to deliver. So would a replacement. Having spam delivered securely would do more harm than good, because people might be that much more inclined to believe that they really, truly had won the lottery.
A different question: how long before this botnet reconfigures to use a new set of domain names? Hours, days or weeks?
The reason everyone runs their copies of windows in an admin account, I'm afraid to say, is down to the plethora of poorly designed software that still besieges the windows platform today.
It all snowballed when MS merged their corporate and home windows platforms, replacing the frankly disgusting 95/98/ME with the NT kernel in XP.
MS naively assumed that the 3rd party market would slowly come round, and start writing their software in adherance of the windows security model, but to this day Adobe, Mozilla, Apple and Google still routinely flout the model, forcing users to run as admins.
This is the reason they introduced the UAC in vista, to highlight how often even the biggest name mainstream products break these rules.
Until the rest of the software industry read a couple of technet articles start start writing their code correctly people will continue to blindly 'allow' on the UAC, because Mozilla et al have conditioned them to do so every time it tries to update itself.
Yes but
Sadly MS still provide the option to turn UAC off entirely.
"Adobe, Mozilla, Apple and Google still routinely flout the model, forcing users to run as admins"
What utter tosh. Maybe some crap force you to do it but I can at least vouch for these companies. Our XP Windows network is locked down completely and no users have admin rights. All software from Adobe, Mozilla, Apple and Google run perfectly in limited user mode where installed.
the windows security model ?
> MS naively assumed that the 3rd party market would slowly come round, and start writing their software in adherance of the windows security model, but to this day Adobe, Mozilla, Apple and Google still routinely flout the model, forcing users to run as admins.
Do you have any citation or evidence for that statement. The writers of the software use standard calls to the Windows API, it's not their fault it's as full of holes as Swiss Cheese. An unterminated string should not bring the entire 'windows security model ' to its knees ...
@Psymon: Get your facts right
You can get around most of the problems with the old "right-click and run as administrator" ploy which MS don't educate people enough about. I suppose it costs too much money to print a small booklet "Getting started with..." </sarcasm>
Not Mozilla. Once installed you don't need to be admin for it to update
I don't use Google apps. Apple requires the right-click treatment.
Out of your list, only Adobe are sinners, with that bloody awful system for updating Flash. Oh, and add Microsoft, since they require an Administrator account to run Windows Update.
Another title?
Are you sure about these?
Adobe and Firefox; never had a issue with either though (I mean running them - updating is possibly different story though).
If you want to test applications; download Process Monitor (direct link http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx), logon as admin account and watch said application (you will possibly want to filter by "process name") - you can show network/registry/file access and it's quite good but it's made by Mark Russinovich and Bryce Cogswell of System Internals fame).
We've also renamed administrator account via GP, changed password and removed all users from administrator account (but we are still working thought this).
It is possible to work around this; I'm sure businesses do or will in time but it means documenting all of said applications and making a proper process control. We were forced to by a government agency (I work in public sector; the same type of public sector which you guys/gals slag off!).
Anon again
"but to this day Adobe, Mozilla, Apple and Google still routinely flout the model, forcing users to run as admins."
What are you talking about ?? I use an non-privileged account on NT, XP and now on VISTA for more than ten years now. With all sorts of regular stuff like Firefox, IE, OpenOffice, Ultraedit, VC++, cygwin and the SW I developed on my own. Never had problems with viruses.
It *really* is an issue of education.
MS could really help the situation by making installation a bit more complex (asking for two passwords and rejecting if it is the same for admin/normal) *and* educating the user about this very issue of the dangers of root access. AFAIK Apple routinely installs a root and a normal user. They have no virus issues.
MS dumbs down the proper NT tech in XP and later to the Win95 security model.
Also, SW which, for no good reason, needs admin privileges should be labeled as a "security threat" in a dialog box every time the user starts it.
Apple - root, admin and user
Apple include a root account in Mac OS X, but this is effectively an invisible account to both administrators and users, requiring it to be activated as it doesn't run by default.
An admin account can install software, create/delete users and effectively manage a Mac day to day without impediment, but can't get down to system level stuff that requires root access. A password is required to install software or make changes that affect other users.
A user account requires an Admin user name and password to install software, and to make changes that affect other users.
Microsoft, by failing to enforce proper privilege separation in Windows, are complicit in the Botnet's existence in the first place.
The trouble is, there's so much "legitimate" software out there -- mostly developed by self-taught "programmers" using pirate copies of Visual Studio -- that relies for its normal operation on exactly the same sloppy security practices used by malware, and would be royally broken by properly-enforced security.
I thought...
My spam folder looked a bit light today.
Re : Educating Users Would Be Better Idea
I agree, educating users to use more secure operating systems is a good idea.
Except that you can't
Educating users, or anyone else, about anything, is impossible. They don't want to know and you can't make them, so there.
Well, technically, Windows is no longer insecure by design. One feature inherited from VAX/VMS is access control lists; which, if the truth be told, afford even finer-grained control over security than the world's favourite Unix-like systems.
However, a lot of existing -- and legitimate -- Windows software simply expects to get the free run of the machine, thus requiring users to disable the very security features that would prevent malware from doing its nasty stuff.
To fix it all would be highly non-trivial. A lot of it is custom software written for businesses, either under contract or by staff who are no longer with them; and nobody ever thought to ask for the Source Code. That means a total, ground-up rewrite.
And if all the software a business uses has to be rewritten from scratch, then some awkward questions will need to be asked. Such as: Why didn't the manager overseeing the firm's custom software project demand the Source Code at the time? and: Given that there is really no alternative save for the entire application layer to be rewritten, need the underlying OS really still be Microsoft Windows?
The only way to avoid this nightmare and maintain security will be to run each individual application on top of its own private copy of Windows inside its own private VM, with only as much access to "the outside world" -- including the local filesystem -- as it absolutely needs. And that's not nearly as unfeasible as it sounds, what with processors sprouting ever more cores and more gigahertz.
It just means that code that is well-enough behaved to be allowed to run natively under a secure-by-design OS will run blisteringly fast, on hardware that is well-enough spec'ed for totally-sandboxed code to run just tolerably.
Shoot the "root cause"
"Microsoft's enforcement action is welcome, but it treats only the symptoms - and not the root cause - of the botnet epidemic."
The root cause of the epidemic is the criminal. Hunt them down, shoot them dead, and then no more "epidemic." The other epidemic is a networked PC on every desk, all running the same OS and chipset (there is no difference between AMD and Intel; there is a difference between x86, PA-RISC, Power, Alpha, SPARC, etc.), operated by people with no clue.
Were you...
...in Dubai recently by any chance?
In related news....
.... Microsoft have been given the go-ahead by a US jugde to oversee the takedown of all domains associated with a rogue application going by the name of "Open Office". Microsoft sucessfully demonstrated to the court that Open Office has now managed to somehow, despite their best efforts, replace MS Office on over 11 million US desktops despite having no commercial distribution network or support mechanism.
An MS lawyer was quoted as saying "Open Office is a malicious program that is specifically targetting users of older, more unsecure versions of MS Office. Once [Open Office] is installed these older versions are then quickly underused, and in some cases removed completely. This cannot be allowed. This software is denying the users of older versions of our software the benefits and cost savings from being able to upgrade to the latest version of MS Office at our current competitive pricing schemes".
A n email that was leaked following the hearing, from a Verisign employee to Microsoft shows that other domains might be included in future court cases: "Ubuntu.com seems to be getting quite a bit of bandwidth spikes at the moment, might be worth monitoring" it read.
How about better spam fighting tools for US?
I'd like to be a better Samaritan--if only someone would give me better tools. You'd think the email people would be glad to offload some of their burden to other people. It might not kill the spammers (slowly, please), but at least I'd feel better if I had an option to do something about it. I'm thinking of something like SpamCop, but with more iterations and better analysis, and built right into my email system for me to confirm the proposed countermeasures and hopefully to earn recognition as a 'spam fighter first class'.
I dream of being the spammers' worse nightmare.
2 fold problem
At least.
1) Development environments which don't *warn* developers what does actually *needs* admin privileges, so they can *decide* to move those insecure functions to one risky module, or replace them with higher security versions.
2)Users whose system is set up with Admin privileges, and who don't know there are higher security options.
This will continue as long as developers (especially on Windows) persist in expecting the users apps to have *full* privileges on their hardware. BTW this is not just a hacker thing. IIRC versions of at least 1 of the NHS hospital management systems would not *run* on desktops with only user privileges. This in an environment where security is *supposedly* a concern.
Although I think a name-and-shame website might be a good idea.
Thumbs up to MS for doing it. But I do wonder what proportion of the scam generating machines on the Net are running Windows.
@ Not really, Danny 14
"great in principle. I have so many programs that I reject on our domain because they wont run as a normal user."
Really? we're a college running a mix of Windows xp desktops and server 2003 Citrix boxes. We use old naff 9x era education software for some things, loads of current apps, google earth, paint.net etc and an MIS product based on .NET that uses SQL server back end. I've found VERY few apps that can't run as a basic user, a few NTFS permissions tweeks to files and reg entries here and there gets almost anything running.
You just need to learn to use Process Monitor and you'll be there in no time ;)
Focusing on the wrong thing
Hey, I like a good solid round of Microsoft thrashing as much as the next guy, and don't get me wrong, I think Microsoft's approach to security is a bit like putting a high-security Medeco lock on a glass door, but...
If I become the king of the world and start calling the shots, one of the things I'd do is to make ISPs more responsible for handling their share of the problem.
It'd go a long way if ISPs, rather than simply pulling the plug on malware sites and being done with it, were required to freeze the contents of such sites and drop an email to law enforcement. Not asking them to do any more than that--just click a few buttons--and I realize that a lot of the sites (and malcreants) are outside the range of Western law, but it'd help.
Laws making ISPs financially responsible for knowingly hosting malware, with the presence of at least one complaint email to the ISP's abuse@ address constituting prima facie evidence of knowingly hosting malware, would remove the financial incentive to host such malware. It's surprising how many ISPs, even right here in the US, will respond to "you are hosting virus downloaders" with "yeah, so?"
The C&C traffic for many botnets is well understood. ISPs can do filtering and deep packet inspection to look for P2P traffic but they can't do anything about botnet command and control traffic? You hear that sound? It's the sound of the world's smallest fiddle playing in sympathy for the poor overburdened ISPs that have plenty of time to play lap dog for the RIAA by searching for college kids downloading the latest Metallica track but can't do anything about large-scale organized crime activity on their networks.
This kind of crime is economic crime. There are a surprisingly large number of ISPs, many of them located in the US, that benefit economically in direct and indirect ways by facilitating that crime. A bit of economic liability would probably do a lot to make the problem evaporate.
User mode/Admin mode?
I will personally return as 'unfit for purpose' and claim my money back on ANY 'normal' program which requires Admin privileges to run.
I don't care what it says on the box about fitness for a specific purpose.
If that means returning half a dozen A3 Flatbed scanners, a DVD copier or any other every expensive HW because the accompanying SW sucks unleaded gasoline... So be it.
(Those are examples of stuff we've returned at the office because it can't be used with normal user accounts)
And I will DEFINITELY NOT add 'change' rights to the program files folder, or any subfolder in it.
There is even a *reason* to block C&C traffic
C&C traffic is guaranteed *not* to contribute to an ISP's revenue generating bandwidth.
Slowed machines discourage users from viewing complex (but possibly more profitable) web sites because (although they are unaware of this) their PC is spewing out crap 24/7 as they can't wait for site to load.
Just a thought.
Constitutional Violation
The legal power the judge assumed here borders on a separation of powers Constitutional violation. The judge essentially gave Microsoft the authority to declare war on these computers. There are also some striking similarities to the law enforcement process of obtaining a search warrant, except Microsoft isn't a police force!

Narcissism and resentment go together. The usual explanation is that narcissists are resentful because the world doesn't recognize their brilliance or meet their demands for special privleges. That's probably true in a great many cases. But it is also possible that chronic resentment leads to narcissism.
A derivative of innate anger, resentment emerges in pre adolescence when children develop a strong sense of fairness. Resentment requires a perception of unfairness. It shares the physiological characteristics of anger but is less intense and of longer duration, i.e., it reaches much lower levels of arousal but lasts much, much longer. Where anger (when directed at others) is an aggressive exertion of power to get someone to back off or submit to what you want (either in reality or in your imagination), resentment is a defensive way of mentally devaluing and retaliating against those whom you perceive to be treating you unfairly.

Dark King Ixpellia
Voiced by: Ayako Kawasumi
Back in the war-torn days of Ancient Belka, there was an empire called Galea, and the one who ruled this place was a tyrant named Ixpellia, who bore the title of Meioh, translatable as either Dark King or King of the Underworld. She loved brutality and wars and took over neighboring countries with her army of Mariage, cyborg zombies whose arms could transform into many weapons, from nigh-indestructible swords to tank-destroying cannons. Battlefields were burned into the ground and her Mariage army grew with every person killed. Worse of all, prophecies state that she will one day return to lead her Mariage army again.At least, that's what the books say. Turns out she's mostly just a little girl who was burdened with the duty to win the war for her country, and had gotten really weary of fighting since, with every country demanding the same from their personal ruler, all that happened was a war that dragged out for ages and caused needless bloodshed. Oh, and every Mariage she made had the same war-loving personality who would awaken her in every age; and they were destroy everything; and go back to sleep. Sucks to be her. She was eventually rescued by Subaru who showed her that the endless cycle of war had stopped. That humans and cyborgs were living in peace, and even the Sankt Kaiser was alive again. She even made friends with Vivio, a fellow Ancient Belka ruler. And... with the knowledge that maybe, when she awoke again in 1 year, in 10 years, in 100 or even 1000 years, that humans might be able to protect this peace; she went to sleep peacefully for the first time.As of Vivid, she's under the care of the Saint Church.

Voiced by: Ayako Kawasumi
The Mariage (マリアージュ Mariāju) are the primary antagonists in Sound Stage X. They appear as a group of nearly identical masked women, each about 175 cm tall, who are responsible for the series of murders on Faurus, Vaizen, and Mid-Childa in 0078.It is revealed in SSX that Mariage are artificial beings devoid of personality created from control cores produced by Dark King Ixpellia's body. During the Warring Ages, they were used by Galea to combat the Sankt Kaiser's troops, however, Ixpellia was then probably robbed of her power source and fell into hibernation, only rediscovered by certain Tredia Graze in modern times. After Tredia's death, his accomplice Runessa Magnus took over the Mariage production, spawning some 18 of them and causing the Mariage Incident of 0078. All Mariage created up to that date are presumably destroyed in the end of Sound Stage X.

Yeah, I am a big Cena mark (lol). But honest to God, I just don't see anyone else being a legit threat to Taker at this point. I could be wrong though, I am not that biased.
And yeah you are probably right, there are other ways for Cena to turn.
I could be wrong again, but I think Austin's turn failed due to the fact that his run did not last as long as Hogan's or Cena's. He also did not play the same character that Hogan and Cena did as well. Superman (and maybe Captain America) turning into a villain would be bigger than Batman or Spiderman doing the same. I think I'm saying it right.
Just because the finish is predictable doesn't mean it's not enjoyable. The streak has been enjoyable despite only a handful of times were you actually believed he might lose.
While I agree with you that Cena is the most logical choice to end the streak I do think you can make the case for Punk. Punk v Austin is a huge money match and giving him the rub of ending the streak enhances his heel character. You could also have Lesnar be the guy who actually costs Taker the match and set up a proper farewell for Taker. Very unlikely Austin wrestles again with Rock hanging around, and Cena is more committed to the industry than Punk is so I concede Cena is much better, logical and more profitable choice.
I think what separates Hogan's heel turn from Austin's was the NWO. One had a successful marketing campaign behind it and the other didn't. Well that and originality. Heel turns just lost their effect.

Jun. 19, 2010
A three-alarm house fire on Speedwell Street prompted a ladder rescue, damaged two neighboring homes and displaced more than a dozen people on Saturday morning. Firefighters rescued at least one resident at 22 Speedwell using a ladder. The fire was brought under control around 11:30 a.m. Universal Hub reports that the fire caused $300,000 in damage to the three buildings and left 17 people at least temporarily homeless.

Illinois Rep. Barbara Flynn Currie (D-Chicago) | Seth Perlman~AP
Updated: July 1, 2012 12:09PM
Limits on campaign donations in Illinois have been around just 17 months. Nevertheless, a change that could seriously undermine the very notion of campaign limits is on the table in Springfield.
We join several good-government groups who say a proposal to lift donation limits in some campaigns is hasty and premature and should be tabled for now. Under an amendment pushed by House Majority Leader Rep. Barbara Flynn Currie, if an independent expenditure committee — those notorious SuperPACs — raises a significant amount in an election, that would trigger the lifting of all limits on political contributions. The trigger would be $250,000 in a statewide race; $100,000 for state legislator and other non-statewide races.
Opponents of the amendment, including the Illinois Campaign for Political Reform and Change Illinois, recognize the very real problems created by the rise of SuperPACs, problems that emerged after Illinois reformed its campaign laws in 2009.
With the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision and a companion decision in Illinois in March, the threat of SuperPACs spending hijacking an election is very real.
"You can't leave a candidate running with his or her arm tied behind his or her back when you have an expenditure in that amount," Currie said. The limit change would go into effect July 1, before the fall election.
Currie may be right — but there also may be less harmful solutions to the SuperPAC problem. Those should be explored first, by a task force set up by the legislature for that purpose, before a bill is passed. Currie, to her credit, has agreed to change the amendment slightly to help better identify and stop SuperPACs that aren't truly independent of the candidates they support.
But Currie's changes aren't enough. She told us, and we agree, that time is too short to carefully define what constitutes an independent committee before the legislative session ends May 31. She's open to continuing that work this summer but wants to get started by passing her amendment now.
We think her timetable is backward. The legislature should do the hard work upfront.

Living Dolls: The Return of Sexism
Virago, 2011 - Psychology - 273 pages
I once believed that we only had to put in place the conditions for equality for the remnants of old-fashioned sexism in our culture to wither away. I am ready to admit that I was wrong.'
Empowerment, liberation, choice. Once the watchwords of feminism, these terms have now been co-opted by a society that sells women an airbrushed, highly sexualised and increasingly narrow vision of femininity. Drawing on a wealth of research and personal interviews, LIVING DOLLS is a straight-talking, passionate and important book that makes us look afresh at women and girls, at sexism and femininity - today.

Writing Killer Ad Copy…and not getting arrested
Elizabeth Marsten Jun 5 2009
As promised, my presentation from the SMX Advanced session Writing Killer Ad Copy. You'll laugh. You'll cry. And you'll completely re-think how you write ads.
Keep in mind that this presentation was created for advanced paid search specialists. The purpose of the session was to get people thinking "outside the box." My job was to go so far outside the box that it would be almost uncomfortable and to also bring humor to what can be a very tedious job, managing paid search campaigns.
Read the warnings and disclaimers slide thoroughly. Use common sense and remember that the content network is a GREAT place to try stuff like this. Content network ads have to be attention getting in order to get that person to leave the content they're currently viewing. These tactics are a fantastic way to do that. And yes, they really work.

There are conversations between a man and his wife, a patient and his doctor, a client and his attorney… But this is about as intrusive as it gets.
After Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, left a written prayer in the cracks of the Western Wall in Jerusalem, a Jewish seminary student dug it out and the newspaper Ma'ariv published it (assuming of course that the note is the correct one).
The note Ma'ariv published — written on stationery from the King David Hotel, where Obama stayed — states: "Lord – Protect my family and me. Forgive me my sins, and help me guard against pride and despair. Give me the wisdom to do what is right and just. And make me an instrument of your will."
Rabbi Shmuel Rabinovitz, the rabbi of the Wall who accompanied Obama on his visit there told Israeli Army Radio, per the AP, that "the notes placed between the stones of the Western Wall are between a person and his maker. It is forbidden to read them or make any use of them." Ma'ariv's decision to publish the note "damages the Western Wall and damages the personal, deep part of every one of us that we keep to ourselves," he said.
On his plane Thursday morning Obama declined to tell reporters what he had asked of the Lord in his note.

Daniel Gruner - Biodiversity and Community Ecology
I am a community ecologist with empirical projects on tropical islands, and coastal wetlands, montane grasslands, and local agricultural systems, and I use a variety of analytical tools for synthetic reviews and statistical modeling. Generally, our lab investigates species interactions in food webs, the maintenance of biodiversity in ecological communities, and community feedbacks with ecosystem function. I research these topics primarily using arthropods in terrestrial ecosystems, but I work in soils and in treetops, with organisms from nematodes to birds to herbaceous plants, and in both temperate and tropical regions. I believe it is important to apply basic science to address environmental challenges, particularly with biodiversity conservation, biological invasions, and climate change.
