arrested in Turkey.
To quote from the Times: "The Spanish police said Friday that they had apprehended three men suspected of computer hacking in connection with recent cyberattacks on Sony's PlayStation Network as well as corporate and government Web sites around the world.
The National Police identified the three as the local leadership of the shadowy international network of computer hackers known as Anonymous, which has claimed responsibility for a wide variety of attacks.
Anonymous is made up of people from various countries organized into cells that share common goals, the police said, with activists operating anonymously but in a coordinated fashion.
One of the three "hacktivists," a 31-year-old Spaniard, was detained in the southern city of Almeria sometime after May 18, the police said. He had a computer server in his apartment in the northern port city of Gijon, from which the group attacked the Web sites of the Sony PlayStation online gaming store.
The same computer was also employed in coordinated cyberattacks against two Spanish banks, BBVA and Bankia, the Italian energy company Enel, and government sites in Spain, Egypt, Algeria, Libya, Iran, Chile, Colombia and New Zealand, the police said.
The two other men, both also Spanish and in their early 30s, were picked up in Barcelona and Valencia. The statement did not make clear the timing of those detentions, but a spokeswoman for the police said all the detentions had occurred "recently."
The spokeswoman, who did not want to be identified per department policy, said all three were subsequently released, without bail, pending formal charges.
They were expected to be charged with forming an illegal association to attack public and corporate Web sites, a charge that carries a potential sentence of up to three years in prison."
Finally, below is a translated version from Policia.es: The National Police dismantled the leadership of the organization "hacktivist" Anonymous in Spain
Arrested three makers in our country, one of which lodged in her home, a server that is coordinated and implemented computer attacks to government websites, financial or business throughout the world
On May 18 detainees launched a crackdown on the website of the Central Electoral Board and later also against the websites of the Catalan police and the UGT
The organization of hackers independent cell structure in the agreed time, generate thousands of denial of service (DDoS) web servers to collapse, sometimes via computers zombies infected worldwide
This research represents the first police operation in Spain against Anonymous and has precedents only in the U.S. and UK, due to the complex security measures to take its members to safeguard their anonymity
Technological Investigation Brigade of the National Police has been analyzed from October 2010 more than 2,000,000 lines of log chats and web pages used by the organization of hackers, to find her leadership in Spain, with capacity to make decisions and direct attacks and arrest in Barcelona, Valencia and Almeria
.- National Police agents have broken up the top of the organization "hacktivist" Anonymous in Spain. Three of its leaders in our country, decision makers and direct attacks have been arrested in Barcelona, Valencia and Almeria. One of those arrested at home protecting a server from that computer attacks were coordinated and implemented a government Web pages, financial or business throughout the world. From this apartment in Gijon attacked the websites of the Sony Playstation Store, BBVA, Bankia, ENEL and the governments of Egypt, Algeria, Libya, Iran, Chile, Colombia and New Zealand. On May 18 detainees launched a crackdown on the website of the Central Electoral Board and later also against the websites of the Catalan police and the UGT.
The organization of hackers independent cell structure, when agreed, throwing thousands of denial of service (DDoS) web servers to collapse, sometimes via computers zombies infected worldwide. This research represents the first police operation in Spain against Anonymous and has precedents only in the U.S. and UK, due to the complex security measures to take its members to safeguard their anonymity. Technological Investigation Brigade of the National Police has analyzed more than 2,000,000 lines of log chats and web pages to find the dome in Spain and arrested.
Attacks by the "Law Sinde" the Ministry of Culture and SGAE
The investigation began in October 2010 following a complaint by the Ministry of Culture after suffering its website a Denial of Service (DDoS) organized from various websites and chat networks. The attack was in protest at the passage through Congress and Senate of the Law of Sustainable Economy, one of whose sections is known as the "Sinde." In December 2010 the Ministry of Culture, on this occasion by the SGAE, again suffered another DDoS attack.
Anonymous face discovered in Spain
The investigation continued and Anonymous claimed responsibility for the attack on the Central Electoral Board of May 18, 2011, days before the municipal and regional elections. This latter action led investigators to arrest in Almeria one of the leaders of Anonymous in Spain, 31 years old, and the record of his house in Gijon. This person gave the organization infrastructure with a chat server located in your own home, from which you have coordinated and implemented major international Anonymous attacks like those launched against Sony's Playstation Store, BBVA, Bankia, ENEL or official sites the governments of Egypt, Algeria, Libya, Iran, Chile, Colombia and New Zealand.
Since the election of 22-M, is coordinated and carried out more attacks on the Congress of Deputies, the UGT and the Catalan police. Regarding these facts the agents identified two other network administrators from hackers, who have been arrested in Barcelona and Alicante.
WIFI network connections outside
The dome had broken up a vast knowledge in computer and telecommunications (logical security, vulnerabilities and intrusions), which put at the service of the organization to the success of their offensive. In one house searches has found plenty of software specifically designed for the creation of malware can infect computers of others. To try to conceal their activities, in addition to using sophisticated encryption techniques in their communications, making it virtually impossible to intercept and identification, sometimes connecting undermining the security of WiFi networks of others, since two of those arrested had no connection Internet itself.
Common vision and autonomous cells
Anonymous can be considered as a movement consists of a number of people of various nationalities which act anonymously and in a coordinated way, usually towards an agreed objective. Since its inception in 2008, attacked multinationals, financial institutions or official websites of governments around the world. Are structured in cells which share common overall goals and support each other through promotional videos, chats and other networks. This transaction represents the first "hit" police in Spain against Anonymous and has precedents in the U.S. alone and the UK, due to the complex security measures to take its members to safeguard their anonymity.
The cornerstone of this organization of "hacktivism" is the high sophistication when they are coordinated to the execution of their attacks through networks of IRC (chat), consisting of servers around the Globe. To carry out these attacks Anonymous members make use of a computer program called LOIC from which it is possible to launch denial of service (DDoS) web sites, flooding them with requests for information, until their server crashed.
Frame and computer software "zombies" in thousands of homes
Also, to facilitate and coordinate such attacks, the program LOIC remains "asleep" until it receives a command to start the attack by Anonymous managers. Then, in a coordinated manner, are released at the same time thousands of requests for information to sites that are its target. In addition to the program administrators LOIC organization can also get to take advantage of computer networks zombies (botnets), from which free up bandwidth of thousands of computers around the world
Research has been developed by the Technological Investigation Brigade (BIT), which have monitored and tracked chat networks and websites of national and international Anonymous. In total they have analyzed more than 2,000,000 lines of records that have provided information leading to the three arrests for criminal damage, discovery and disclosure of secrets and conspiracy. BIT agents have relied on the cooperation of the Judicial Police Provincial Brigades of Almeria, Gijon, Barcelona and Alicante.

There's loads of PS3 homebrew, just most of it isn't centred around backups/piracy because most devs aren't bothered with it and instead are more focused on additional functionality

You think? Did you not see the scene pretty much die when sony started picking on people? People bitch out, especially those that think they're above others. They will tell on everyone, and everyone will quit doing anything that can get them in trouble.
Look at the ps3, really. there was all these homebrews, and keys, and this, that, everything you could want, because people werent afraid. Now what do you get. Multiman.
People always start fights they cant finish. Then, when it looks like they're in any danger, they flee.
They're done for. May I quote some 16bit goodness... Welcome to your DOOM!

Orlando Music News
This Little Underground: Clap Your Hands Say Yeah & Stagnant Pools @ The Social
This Little Underground is Orlando Weekly's music column providing perspective, live reviews and news on the city's music scene. Read the latest column here.
Sticking to what you do well is a virtue, especially live. It's a maxim that paid dividends for Brooklyn's Clap Your Hands Say Yeah (June 6, The Social), whose performance skewed heavily toward the more charged and remarkable side of their grand indie-pop sound.
However, it seems Indiana opener Stagnant Pools – a band that I'm very much into – has lost its way a bit. And it showed in this subpar set. But besides an inferior performance, the more worrying part is that the limitations of their design are showing. For a mere duo that's gone all in on guitar sonics, everything lives and dies by tone and song. When even one falters, it all falls down. In their set, the problem was the tone, with the guitar too often being thin and tin. In their new album, Geist, it's the sense of song, which is anemic compared to their excellent 2012 debut LP (Temporary Room). Any band with a narrow effective range – and Stagnant Pools is one of them – requires focus. And, sadly, they've lost a little bit of theirs.

DO-254 Evolution: Topics of Interest and Concern
Technology Overview
DO-254 compliance has always been a moving target. Since its finalization in 2000 and then complete re-scoping at its invocation in 2005, to the latest changes (and inconsistencies) with the FAA and EASA supplemental policy documents, keeping up with what it means to "comply" with DO-254 has been a challenge. This session provides an overview of the evolution of DO-254, and then discusses some of the interesting and pertinent topics of latest concern. These include the DO-254 working its way into the UAS market, expansion of DO-254 to the PCB level, issues and solutions for using intellectual property, the potential creeping of DO-330 (DO-187C tool qualification) into the DO-254 domain, COTS compliance, SEE concerns and more.

Anything good to eat at the Villa Rosa in Quincy?
Some folks from work are headed there this week. Saw some mixed reviews on the archives. But most post are pretty old. Looking for reviews from folks that have been there in the past 6 months. -- Thanks!
The pizza is still good there, though the rest of the food seems to have gone downhill. I'd definitely stick with the pizza...
The pizza might be ok, but the rest of the food is just nasty. Canned veggies, ragu tomato sauce, that type of thing. I'd stick with the pizza if you must go there.
We live right down the street and ate there sometime over the winter. It was not good. We thought we'd give it another shot and ordered 2 pizzas to go a couple months ago. You can get better pizza delivered to your house from Domino's. My advice is to eat before you go and stick with a beer or two while everyone else dines.
my irish american husband was raised on this food. i'm from an italian family and i jokingly tell my husband the food at the villa is eye-talian food for irish people. after a few years of eating there with his family i finally figured out one of the reasons why the food was so awful. if you can imagine italian food completely devoid of garlic, that is what you're going to get at the villa. there are other things terribly wrong with it.....acidic tomoto sauce. mushy pasta. microwaved rolls. i dno't know what to tell you to get. everything i've ever eaten there from the iceberg salad (slightly brown) with one slice of cucumber and one ring of red onion and one wedge of styrofoam tomato to the deep fried chicken parm to the veal parm which is really something else (and by that i mean, it's not veal!) is just dreadful. eat before you go.
re: look2eat
I personally like the Chateau better.
Villa Rosa has always gotten some strongly negative views on this site, and I can't blame them since it does seem to have gone downhill (it used to be an ok place years ago). I still know people who go there all the time though and love it, so go figure. I guess the only way to judge is to give it a try and see which side of the fence you're on. Bottom line though is that there are better Italian restaurants in the area, including Tullio's in North Quincy and even nearby Alfredo's, which I don't consider to be all that great.
re: hiddenboston
The Chateau is better than Villa Rosa. However, if you REALLY are looking for GOOD Italian food in the area, go to Gennaros Italian on Quincy Avenue. The food there is excellent...everything that the Villa Rosa is not. Delicious fresh baked bread, fantastic homemade ravioli, great tortolini carbonara, and wonderful Italian-style pizza. You know how good it is from the moment you walk in, and it smells of garlic and rosemary and your mouth starts watering...
re: jjbourgeois
I went with a couple who told me how great the food was. I thought it was medicore at best and terrible service too. The Chateau is the much better choice of the two. I hadn't been there in years but recently had occasion to dine both in Waltham and in Norwood and was pleasantly surprised how how good the food was. It was actually much better than I remembered and extremely reasonable too.
Another, better option that's still in Quincy and a decent atmosphere and good (not great) food is Tullio's.
Well I did dine at the Villa Rosa and I can't think of anything good to say about it. The only thing the saved the night was the company. The rolls where hard and seemed like they where two days old. The chicken Parm seemed to be burned under neath. The atmosphere and decor is old. I will not return and I wouldn't suggest anyone else does ither.
I have eaten at the Chateau numerous times at their various locations and I have never been disapointed. Their family style take out is delicious and econimical. Favorite is the Toasted Raviolis with meatballs. They trough in a whole loaf of their delicious bread and a bottle of greated cheese so all you have to do is open the bad and enjoy.
re: look2eat
Hate to be the one to say it, but...
If you like toasted raviolis, the ones at Gennaros are excellent. You get 5 huge ones in an appetizer order.
Unfortunately the Villa has gone downhill these past few years. There isn't an item on the menu that I'd die for, but it'll do in a pinch, especially if nobody feel like driving anywhere.
However, they do make a very good prime rib special (Fri. and Sat. only) and pretty good burgers.
Love the comment re "Eye-talian food for Irishmen" because...well, it is.

An inmate will spend another three years behind bars for escaping from the Blue Ridge Regional Jail with a rope made from bed sheets.
Larry Wayne Dodson Jr. was sentenced Friday in Lynchburg Circuit Court. He had pleaded guilty in April to escape without force.
Prosecutors say Dodson climbed down from an outdoor recreational area and fled on March 10, 2009. He was captured April 5, 2009, in Port Wentworth, Ga. Dodson was serving a seven-year sentence for grand larceny and other charges at the time of the escape.
He received a seven-year sentence in Georgia last September for theft by receiving stolen property and other charges.

Focusing on the Solutions: Key Principles of Comprehensive Immigration Reform
Nearly everyone agrees that our immigration system is badly broken and in urgent need of reform. Under the existing system people are dying at the border, immigrants are living and working in abject conditions, families trying to reunite legally are separated for many years, employers are unable to hire the workers that they need, U.S. workers suffer from the unlevel playing field shared with exploited immigrant workers, and law‐abiding U.S. employers are in unfair competition with unscrupulous employers who increase profits by hiring cheap and vulnerable labor. Meanwhile, the United States continues to spend billions of dollars on enforcing these broken laws.
This report is a companion piece to the Immigration Policy Center's previous publication which focuses on the underlying problems within our immigration system. In "Breaking Down the Problems, What's Wrong with Our Immigration System?" the Immigration Policy Center lays out key structural problems within immigration law, as well as the inadequate, enforcement‐only responses that have given rise to our current immigration crisis. Focusing on the Solutions paper summarizes the key elements that must be included in a successful legislative package.

Well, Scappi's menus (Book 4 of the _Opera_) are organized by date, and his June-July-August meals make use of summer fruits and vegetables. There's not much talk of humors, but it's still pretty interesting. I think Castelvetro (writing slightly after SCA period, since he published his treatise on produce in 1614) also groups his fruit & veggie discussions by season. One of my very favorite summer dishes exists in both medieval and modern versions -- it's a cucumber and yogurt salad, which I think is in the 12th-c Baghdad cookbook (and which I also grew up eating, in a slightly different version, with the addition of garlic and dried mint....) Few things are so deliciously cooling in hot weather as cucumbers and yogurt. Vittoria

Saturday, October 2, 2010
Many people put on their walking shoes Saturday to take a step forward to find a cure for Alzheimers.
The Memory Walk is the biggest fundraiser for the Alzheimer's Association. Participants in the area met at the Sedgwick County Zoo. The Alzheimers Memory Walk is a national event.
Friday, October 1, 2010
More and more senior citizens are diagnosed with Alzheimers each year. The diagnosis has been showing up in both men and women at younger and younger ages.
In preparation for this weekend's Memory Walk, we meet a family who knows the devastation of the disease and the crucial role played by the local Alzheimer's Association.
This is a time when Art Klauso and his wife Peggy should be traveling and enjoying the grandkids. But seven years ago, 72-year-old Peggy was diagnosed with Alzheimers. A disease that has grabbed their life, shaken it up, and spit out a stark reality.
Of course, it wasn't always this way. Art and Peggy got married almost 53 years ago and raised two daughters. They had time to enjoy their grandchildren and incredible and fun life.
In her later years, Peggy volunteered at the church, looked after her grandkids and especially enjoyed mowing the lawn. That all changed when Peggy turned 65. The progression of the disease is excruciating.
But this incredibly courageous man has learned a lot about pure devotion and pure love.
To join the Memory Walk Saturday, October 2nd, just show up at the Sedgwick County Zoo. Registration is at 9:30 a.m. The Walk begins at 10 a.m. For more information click on the words "Related Link" below.

The Pasteur Museum
The Pasteur Museum is housed in the apartment where Louis Pasteur spent his final seven years and offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at the living and working environment of the world-renowned scientist. Visitors can gain a unique insight into his everyday life alongside his wife and can admire his rich and diverse scientific work.
Discover a charming place where science meets art and history.
At the cutting edge of biomedical research
The Institut Pasteur's scientific strategy focuses on developing original and innovative topics and promoting interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary cooperation and approaches. The Institut Pasteur teams have access to the technological resources needed to speed up and further improve the quality of their outstanding research.
Teaching students from around the world
Ever since the introduction of the world's first "Technical Microbiology" course in 1889, teaching has been a priority for the Institut Pasteur. The Institut Pasteur has an international reputation for quality teaching that attracts students from all over the world who come to further their training or top up their degree programs.
The mission of the Industrial Partnership team is to detect, promote, assist and protect the inventive activities from research (inventions, know-how and biological materials) conducted at the Institut Pasteur (and in some Institutes of its international network), and transfer there to industrial and/or institutional partners, in order to serve the patient needs and for the benefit of the society, as well as to contribute to sustainability of the Institut Pasteur's resources.
With international courses, PhD and postdoctoral traineeship, each institute of the Institut Pasteur International Network (RIIP) contributes to the transmission of knowledge with the training of young researchers all around the world. In this context, doctoral and postdoctoral programmes, study and traineeship fellowships are available to scientists. Alongside training, dynamism and attractiveness of RIIP will result in the creation of 4-year group for the young researchers.
Plasmodium, the parasite responsible for malaria, infects red blood cells. It produces proteins in the red blood cells that bind to the surface of the host cell. These are known as adhesion proteins. They prevent the red blood cells from circulating correctly in the blood capillaries, and trigger the symptoms of severe malaria. The parasite has 60 genes coding for 60 different adhesion proteins, only one of which appears on the surface of the red blood cell at any one time. In this way the various adhesion proteins are presented in turn, and the parasite keeps one step ahead of the host's immune system, which must learn to recognize and then destroy infected cells.
Scientists in the team led by Artur Scherf (Institut Pasteur, CNRS) discovered this previously unknown mechanism used by the Plasmodium parasite to outmaneuver the immune system time and time again. The scientists showed that an enzyme-type protein, known as RNase, is at the root of the process: it destroys the nascent messenger RNA of genes coding for adhesion proteins, allowing only one of the 60 types of adhesion molecule to be expressed on the surface of the infected red blood cell. Following infection in humans, the parasite will continually express different new adhesion proteins in turn, giving the antibodies of the immune system no time to learn to recognize each one. This process is known as antigenic variation. The mechanism of this newly discovered gene regulation system has never before been observed, and is highly likely to be found in other organisms.
This work was published in Nature on Sunday June 29, 2014, and contributes to a better understanding of the virulence mechanisms employed by the parasite. The next stage for the scientists will be to try to explain what influences the choice of expression of a certain gene at any given time. The team's long-term objective is to find a treatment to block this mechanism whereby the deadly pathogen evades the immune system.

Photography has a very good friend in Maria Martínez-Cañas, whose retrospective at Fort Lauderdale's Museum of Art last year was her first one-woman show at a South Florida museum. The Cuban-born, Puerto Rican-reared, Miami-based artist in a very real sense reinvents photography, transforming it into a hybrid medium better suited to her needs. She's smart to steer clear of digitally manipulated photography, which is still new enough to come across, in most hands, as gimmicky and contrived, but she also eschews what we usually think of as photography: no portraits, no still lifes, no landscapes, at least not in any ordinary sense. Instead, Martínez-Cañas incorporates drawing and collage into her photographs, manipulating the imagery in her own ways to make it extraordinarily expressive -- she snips photographs into fragments that she then uses as compositional elements, or she takes them apart and reassembles them in unexpected ways. At a time when the medium is just over a century old and still coming to terms with its long-fought-for status as an art form, Martínez-Cañas takes that status for granted and runs with it.

Starting Seeds is easy with a seed-sowing station.
A home vegetable garden is easy to start and doesn't require as much effort as one might think to keep it growing strong if you start off right. Following a few simple steps will ensure you're enjoying the fruits of your labor.
Many perennial plants expand by adding new growth to the edges of their clump, leaving the oldest growth in the center of the plant.
Spending time in the garden is the perfect way to relieve stress and squeeze in some physical activity. In fact, when I need a pick-me-up, I prescribe myself a healthy dose of weeding!
If you have perennial plants (those that live for several years, as opposed to annuals that live only one season) growing in containers, you may be wondering what to do with those plants during winter months.
When you live in the Midwest, it doesn't take long to just accept that the humid, sweltering weather of the summer months requires you to pay a little extra attention to your gardening duties.
Winter is perhaps the most fun time of year for a gardener.
Looking for ways to save water in your garden?
If there were only one bit of advice I'd give for creating the healthiest garden possible, it would be to put the right plant in the right place.
Do I really feel so strongly? Well, yes and no. In spite of their many faults, I try to find the good in everything, even weeds. And as difficult as it may be to imagine, they do have a place on this earth…really.
Many gardeners living in the Western part of the United States are all too familiar with sticky, globby, heavy clay soil.
Ever bought a packet of veggie or annual flower starts at an early spring plant sale, taken them home, planted them and found them dead the next morning?
Succulents are almost all low-maintenance plants.
I'm sharing this story to bring to light some myths about garden soil.
Plants that live for more than one season are generally called perennials, and all experience dormancy to some extent. Perennial plants may be herbaceous – meaning all of their top growth shrivels by winter as with Paeonia, Als...
Six ways for gardeners can survive winter with style.

Catching the Hint of Liberty in "Catching Fire" and "The Hunger Games" »

Catching Fire, the second installment in the trilogy of films based on The Hunger Games books by Suzanne Collins, is burning through the box office, raking in revenues of more than $360 million since its November release. This makes the movie the third highest grossing movie of the year. And this bodes well for...

It's not very often that we BAD HAVENER's delve into the realm of music (unless it's specifically nerd bastardly) but when Mental Deficiency guitarist Alex Kazam, Robocop aficionado and all round man of good taste recommends us something, well we tend to listen.
And he recommended this pulsing bit of electro thrash from Jilly St John + friends of the kick ass band Wyldling. Give it some ear time sweethearts. I think you'll like it:

Gas Supply:Too little, Too late?
contract into rate base, you're not going to sign a contract," says Allan Marks, a partner with the global project finance department of Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy LLP in Los Angeles. "But if you are in a jurisdiction where you have more latitude, then you will take the risk."
Indeed, some utility rate-making authorities are warming up to the idea of long-term gas contracts, whether with pipelines or LNG terminals.
"We've seen a change of heart by many commissions," says Kirk Morgan, vice president of marketing and regulatory affairs for Kern River Pipeline Co., MidAmerican Energy's pipeline arm. "Contracts can be out of the money for a period of time, and state PUCs second-guess their utilities with regard to contract positions. But we are seeing a change from short-term to longer-term thinking, to prevent what happened to us with supply imbalances and price spikes."
Considering Pre-approval
Examples, Morgan says, include the California PUC, which has adopted policies wherein utilities can get pre-approval of long-term capacity agreements so they won't be second-guessed in future rate cases. Another example is the Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC), which last year issued a policy statement saying that it would consider pre-approving gas contracts for Arizona utilities. The commission did just that in late June, when it granted pre-approval of costs related to a block of the $1 billion Silver Canyon pipeline that Southwest Gas plans to acquire from Kinder Morgan Energy Partners, if the pipeline is built.
"Pre-approval of these expenses is a new policy for the commission," says Mike Gleason, ACC commissioner. "This policy is necessary to encourage critically needed additional pipeline capacity to meet our growing natural gas needs."
Other commissions are considering the issue in policy discussions, and further action is expected later this year. "We need some technical guidance on this, and we are hoping to work on it with the DOE [Department of Energy] and NRRI [the U.S. Department of Energy and the National Regulatory Research Institute]," says W. Robert Keating, a commissioner with the Massachusetts Department of Telecommunications & Energy, and former chairman of the gas committee for the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners (NARUC). "There are pros and cons with regard to long-term contracting that we need to study. I'm hopeful that we'll have a recommendation for the NARUC November annual meeting."
NARUC's guidance will be helpful. However, pipeline companies and LNG terminals might not be able to bank on such agreements the way they once could have. "The question for sellers becomes, how creditworthy is the utility?" Marks says. "Just because the utility has permission to put a contract into rate base doesn't mean the utility is creditworthy."
LNG Science: A Moving Target
In the frantic aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks, the U.S. Coast Guard stopped all shipments of liquefied natural gas (LNG) into Boston Harbor. To reach the Everett LNG terminal, tankers had to cruise past downtown Boston, and officials weren't sure what would happen if terrorists were to attack a tanker, as they did the U.S.S. Cole in October 2000.

Buster Brown was found wandering the streets, though it was obvious that he was once someone's pet. After two weeks of endless searching, no owner was found and he has now come into our rescue. He is about 1 year old and is such a friendly guy. He is on the the thin side right now and currently weighs around 45 lbs. He is gaining more and more weight daily, as he recovers, and will most likely weight around 50-55 lbs. when he thickens back up. He loves everyone and is a very happy go lucky fellow. He is great on leash, knows 'sit' and 'catch' and loves going for walks. Buster has been fine with all dogs so far, but is much too interested in ... (Read More)cats. He is currently being kenneled, as no foster home has opened up for him, so some house work may need to be done. It is obvious though that he was once an indoor pet, so that is probably minimal. He runs for the door and wants in as soon as he gets a chance. He has been neutered and will be going for his shots, check up, and microchip within the next week. He will be ready for adoption on 8/27 and we're hoping to find him a great home for him to go to as soon as he is ready. There will be a $125 adoption fee, application, and contract.

Chow Chow Dogs can make good pets in Virginia if they match your IifestyIe. The Chow Chow is a big furry breed whose name literally means Puffy Lion Dog. Chow Chows are loyal companion animals but can sometimes be stubborn, obstinate, and overprotective against strangers. Chow chows need to be handled by a firm master. Chow chows can be aggressive with other pets but most are good with kids. Chow chows can live in an apartment and are equally good as inside or outside dogs. Daily walks help stave off behavior problems, although Chow Chows can be resistant to exercise.

Declaration to Environment
Dear Students:
You don't know me but, right now, I am deeply affecting your future.
I am the CEO of a Fortune 250 company, NRG Energy, which generates enough electricity to keep the lights on for roughly 40 million Americans. That's a lot and that's a good thing. Indeed, all of us at NRG are very proud that what we do enables the interconnected lifestyles that define the human experience in the 21st century.
But we at NRG are concerned that the predominant fuels we and the other companies in our industry are using—and have used since the time of Thomas Edison—to keep you energized are ultimately exhaustible and, of even greater and more immediate concern, are having a damaging and potentially irrevocable impact on the world that you are in the process of inheriting from us and ultimately will bequeath to your own children.
How immediate?
A remarkable consensus of the world's leading scientists and academic experts, some of which come from your own university, tell us that we need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 80 percent (from present levels) by 2050 in order to avoid potentially catastrophic harm to the Earth's environment. In a growing world, that size reduction is breathtakingly difficult to accomplish. You can be assured that it won't "just happen."
Now I am pretty sure that you don't spend much of your day worrying about the state of the environment 36 years from now and that is a good thing. If life has taught me one thing so far, it is that you should try to "live in the moment" to the fullest extent possible.
But spare one of those moments now to think about where you will be in 2050.

Charges Were Just Dropped Against These Climate Activists in the Most Stunning Way
"Action from principle, the perception and the performance of right, changes things and relations; it is essentially revolutionary…" —Henry David Thoreau, "Civil Disobedience"
Henry's jaw would've dropped. This morning, for a moment, at least, a higher law—the law of conscience—held sway in Massachusetts.
OK, I know that sounds a bit much. But something truly remarkable, a kind of blessed unrest, took place today at the Bristol County courthouse in Fall River, Massachusetts, where climate activists Ken Ward and Jay O'Hara (Nation readers will remember them from this piece last year) were going to trial for blockading a coal freighter at Brayton Point Power Station in Somerset—using an old wooden lobster boat christened theHenry David T.—for the sole reason of addressing the climate crisis. In what looked to be an unprecedented case in the United States, they were set to be the first to use a "necessity defense" in a direct-action civil disobedience case centered on climate change, arguing that what they did was justified for the sake of public health and safety. James Hansen, one of the world's top climate scientists, and 350.org's Bill McKibben, among others, were lined up as expert witnesses.
And what happened, the truly remarkable thing, was this: the prosecutor, Bristol County District Attorney Sam Sutter, not only dropped the charges (which could have resulted in months, or even years, of jail time); he then proceeded out to the courthouse plaza where he made a statement to the media and to the hundred or more people gathered in support of Ken and Jay. Here's what he said:
The decision that Assistant District Attorney Robert Kidd and I reached today was a decision that certainly took into consideration the cost to the taxpayers in Somerset, but was also made with our concerns for their children, and the children of Bristol County and beyond in mind.
Climate change is one of the gravest crises our planet has ever faced. In my humble opinion, the political leadership on this issue has been gravely lacking. I am heartened that we were able to forge an agreement that both parties were pleased with and that appeared to satisfy the police and those here in sympathy with the individuals who were charged.
I am also extremely pleased that we were able to reach an agreement that symbolizes our commitment at the Bristol County District Attorney's Office to take a leadership role on this issue.
The crowd (myself included) went wild.
Then, if possible, it got better. When the cheering settled down, someone asked. "Will you be a model for across the country?"
"Well," Sutter said, "I certainly will be in New York in two weeks," referring to the much-anticipated People's Climate March on September 21, just ahead of the UN climate summit convened by Ban Ki-Moon. "How's that?"
The crowd thought that was pretty swell, too.
He added: "I've been carrying around Bill McKibben's article in Rolling Stone"—and brandished the magazine (Jack White and all).
OK, maybe this guy's running for office.
Still, I didn't think it could get any better, but it did. A reporter then asked if he was sending a message condoning this kind of action violating the law. He said no, that's not the message. "I'm sending a message that this was an act of civil disobedience, that we had to reach an agreement. I'm not at all disputing that the individuals were charged, but this was the right disposition, it was reduced to a civil infraction." (To be precise, there were four charges: conspiracy, disturbing the peace, failure to act to avoid a collision, and negligent operation of a motor vessel. Sutter dropped the conspiracy charges and reduced the other charges to civil infractions. Ken and Jay will also pay $2,000 each in restitution, not fines, to the Town of Somerset).
"Just to be clear," the reporter asked, "what would you say if people say in fact you're encouraging other people to blockade tankers?"
"This is one case, one incident, at a time," Sutter responded. "I think I've made my position very clear. This is one of the gravest crises the planet has ever faced. The evidence is overwhelming and it keeps getting worse. So we took a stand here today."
Please support The Nation. Donate now!
And so, sometimes we win. It's a small victory, in the scale of the climate. But it's something.
Meanwhile, as Ken and Jay are quick to point out, the Brayton Point plant burns on. The announced 2017 closure (which came a few months after their action and a wave of protests they inspired) doesn't come nearly soon enough—for the climate, or for the plant's neighbors suffering its pollution.
What's more, as Ken noted to me in an e-mail, according to data from the US Energy Information Administration, the Brayton Point plant essentially doubled its coal consumption last year, and reduced its use of natural gas, making it the first or second largest source of carbon emissions in New England, New York and New Jersey. And Ken says observed shipments of coal to the plant in recent months were increased over the previous year.
So here's my message to DA Sutter, should he ever want to run for office as true climate champion: some people may think coal is dying a "natural" (market-driven) death in the Northeast, and therefore not much needs to be done. But if we really want to put an end to coal, we're going to have to drive a stake through its heart, otherwise it will keep on rising from the grave.

State lawmakers aim to cut payday lenders' interest rates
Washington's payday lenders say they help people in need of quick cash, but some state lawmakers say the industry's huge interest rates...
Seattle Times staff reporter
OLYMPIA — Washington's payday lenders say they help people in need of quick cash, but some state lawmakers say the industry's huge interest rates lead to even worse money problems.
Now a legislative push to slash small-loan interest rates could put the payday lenders in their own financial jam. State House leaders say there's widespread support to crack down on the industry.
Two House bills, one for those in the military and another for everyone, would cap interest rates at 36 percent annually. The lenders currently can charge up to 390 percent annual rates.
"If it does pass, we are done," said Kevin McCarthy, owner of 22 payday lending stores called Check Masters. Lenders say they must charge rates higher than more traditional lenders such as banks because their loans are so small.
The sponsor of the bills, Rep. Sherry Appleton, D-Poulsbo, says the industry's concerns are overblown. "They will survive," she said. "Credit-card companies survive on much lower interest rates."
But she added, "If the end result was to get rid of payday lending, that would not be such a bad thing."
The legislation is intended to protect people like Patricia Davis, who was one of the industry's best customers 10 years ago.
Payday loans
House Bill 1020
Caps annual interest rates at 36 percent, gives borrowers 90 days before checks are cashed, expands payment-plan availability and instructs the Department of Financial Institutions to explore using a statewide database to track and limit loans.
House Bill 1021
Expands on HB 1020 to delay interest and payments when borrowers who are in the military are deployed, restrict misleading marketing and forbid payday lenders from harassing military borrowers.
The Seattle woman turned to the high-interest, short-term payday loans when her husband left her, a utility bill arrived and she ran out of cash.
"I had a house and a child in school and a car and the whole car-payment thing," said Davis, a Microsoft employee at the time.
She told herself "just this once" but ended up going back every two weeks for two years. Davis could not pay off one loan without taking out another to cover the next couple of weeks.
"That one $500 loan ended up costing me about $3,600 in fees over two years," she said.
Legislators authorized payday lending in 1995, and borrowers have flocked to the businesses ever since. With 740 locations in Washington today, the number of storefront lenders has nearly doubled since 2000.
Lenders currently offer loans of up to $700 with a term of 45 days or less. Borrowers write a postdated personal check for the loan amount, plus the interest charge. The lender either cashes the check or collects cash from the customer when the loan is due.
Typically, a $700 loan over a two-week loan term has a fee of $95. Under the proposed laws, the cost would be about $60 over the new 90-day minimum loan term.
If payday lenders leave the state, Appleton foresees credit unions filling the small-loan void. But Ann Flannigan, of the Washington State Employees Credit Union, says that is a major miscalculation.
"All players will leave the market, not just the ones you want to leave the market," said Flannigan, the credit union's vice president of public relations.
The bill would require her credit union to slash its comparatively consumer-friendly 45-day small-loan rates by more than half, squeezing down their annual percentage rate of more than 80 percent.
"It's not a charity loan. It is a loan that is made by a business," Flannigan said.
Both the credit union and payday lenders say that without the high interest rates, such small loans would not be worth their while. Flannigan says her credit union breaks about even on the loans, and storefront lenders say they're current rates are needed to cover overhead costs.
McCarthy, owner of the Check Masters lending chain, said critics cannot ignore the huge market for his service.
"That demand doesn't go away if you regulate the product, it just goes elsewhere," he warned. "They would move to an unregulated Internet lender."
McCarthy says the short-term loans are a cost-effective solution for people who need cash to pay their bills.
"The satisfaction of our industry is very high," he said.
Dennis Bassford, who leads the lending chain Moneytree, said thousands of borrowers have already sent postcards to their legislators asking them to preserve payday lending.
The state Department of Financial Institutions logged 163 consumer complaints about payday lenders between 2000 and 2005, and fined two companies a total of more than $1 million this month for exceeding lending limits.
Davis said the industry generates a dangerous spiral of borrowing.
Finally out of her payday-debt cycle, Davis made a personal promise never to go back, but she said it is still "a little frightening that when I drive down my street there are five payday lenders within a five-mile radius."
"I kept my loan file so I could remember that that is not a place that I ever want to go again."
Flannigan said the Washington State Employees Credit Union tries to wean borrowers off the cycle of debt by offering financial counseling and payment plans.
Even without Appleton's bills, payday-loan rates will drop for the military in October. Congress already passed legislation that caps the interest rate for service members at 36 percent, but Appleton's military measure would lower interest rates even sooner.
