Why Stay At Hopkins Bay Resort
The family-friendly all-villa tropical escape sits on a powdery western Belizean beach close to spectacular snorkeling sites.
The Scoop
Get away from the everyday bustle to this secluded 19 rough-luxe villa resort on Hopkins Bay. Grouped in triplex pitched-roof buildings, the villas are sleekly Caribbean in design with large picture windows, high ceilings and carefully curated artifacts. Creature comforts include air conditioning, flat-screen TVs and satellite channels, DVD players and iPod docking stations. All villas are situated close to either one or the other of the two outdoor pools. Hopkins Bay Resort keeps guests busy with a fleet of beach cruisers and kayaks. Hire one of the local Garifuna guides to take you around the area's natural wonders. Kids are thrilled to go in search of the legendary 'Dragon's Mouth'- according to lore it is the entryway to the Mayan underworld. In an emphasis of the resort's connection with the village community, chefs at the Beach Side restaurant cull locally grown produce and just-caught fresh seafood for dishes inspired by native recipes.
Insider Tips
You have always wanted to cast your net in Caribbean waters? Head out on a fishing trip (booked through the resort) and later savor your catch cooked up by your guide on a private island.

GM CEO Barra's pay package worth $14.4M this year
General Motors says new CEO Mary Barra will get a pay package worth $14.4 million this year. The company says she'll make more than Dan Akerson, who she replaced last month.
Barra is the first woman CEO of a major global automaker. She'll get $1.6 million in salary, $2.8 million in short-term incentives and long-term stock compensation worth $10 million. The long-term amount is part of a new incentive plan that has to be voted on by shareholders in June.
Chairman Tim Solso says in a statement Monday that Barra's package is line with her peer group and weighted so that most of it is based on company performance.
From 2011: Barra Is First Woman To Head GM Products
GM says it released the amounts to counter stories that said Barra would be paid less than Akerson.
Barra is a 33-year veteran of GM, but she has never served as the CEO or president of any unit there. She most recently was head of product development at the company.

TV Ratings: 'Extreme Weight Loss' Improves, 'Talent' Repeat Tops
9:41 AM PDT 6/25/2014 by Michael O'Connell
"Celebrity Wife Swap" takes a small hit in its latest episode, while "The Night Shift" sheds a little more.
The fact that it wasn't even a new episode didn't really dampen America's Got Talent. A two-hour repeat of the series topped all other broadcast outings on Tuesday night with a 1.9 rating among adults 18-49.
With the softer lead-in, The Night Shift (1.2 adults) did shed another tenth of a point.
ABC had new episodes of Extreme Weight Loss (1.0 adults) and Celebrity Wife Swap (1.3 adults). The former rebounded two-tenths of a point from last week's dip, while Wife Swap was off by the same measure from its last original.
The CW saw a steady outing for the very soft Famous in 12 (0.2 adults).

Having parental responsibility means that you both can make decisions with regards to the upbringing of the child, his/her education and general wellbeing but surely that is a good thing right? For the child I mean, not you.
Family Arbitration can rescue a mediated divorce from crumbling into a nasty expensive court battle, so should more mediators be paying attention to it as a resource for their clients?
If you believe in the importance of open dialogue with your child and want to show your support for children who have no one to talk to then upload the most awkward conversation you've ever had with your child on the hub today or click on the share buttons on the Awkward Conversations hub to take part.
Are you in your 20's or 30's and loads of your friends are getting married or planning to get married? Do you fear you will never be a bride or groom? Then fear not. Get married later in life and your chances of divorce are lowered.
Her revealing comment punctuates the most relevant part of the story. Behind the whirl of glamorous and rather chilling facts of this case that makes something as personal and emotional as divorce an easy headline, it stands out how his wife was with him from the beginning of his rise from a student at university in Perm in the forbidding Ural Mountains and married 23 years ago in Cyprus.
In a situation where a person finds themselves 'dumped' the chances are they are unlikely to be of sane enough mind to walk down the street without collapsing in a crumpled heap, much less, select a suitable aromatherapy treatment. They will feel rage, they will feel fury, they will feel a burning resentment and bitterness for every man walking the planet.
If you are in the middle of divorce, you can get pretty low. Let's face it, the whole divorce process is exhausting, there is so much new info to take on board, with advice from your lawyer, financial advisor, friends and colleagues. Plus you are carving a new pathway for yourself and your family and learning to live a new life.
I remember everything from conversations I've had, to outfits I've worn, to meals I've eaten. And I remember the things people have said to me. It's not that I harbour grudges. I don't. But like the saying goes, I never forget the way someone has made me feel.
I was chatting with a friend recently and mentioned that since I moved back to Calgary, I've started a monthly "Family Night." He said that sounded like a great idea and mentioned that his family only gets together at funerals now, and that they keep saying they should meet up in between but "it never happens. Maybe soon."
The Office of National Statistics has revealed that the number of stepfamilies in the UK dropped from 631,000 in 2001 to 544,000 in 2011, a slump of 14% in just a decade. The drop has been interpreted as a reflection of the difficulties of assimilating children from different families into a new relationship, so if you are planning on doing a Brady Bunch, here's ten things you need to know...
When an unmarried couple breaks up - no matter how long they've been together - the poorer partner has no entitlement to any financial settlement from their former other half whatsoever.
It's more than fair to say she's made some bad choices, and been pretty vocal about them... But why does this grant the Twittersphere permission to lay blame at her door? Why do we have zero compassion for a woman who: A) has been cheated on by her husband. And B) is six months pregnant?
Don't try to convince your therapist that you are the 'good one' in the relationship. There isn't a good one in most marriages and you won't make any progress if one, or both of you, refuse to take responsibility for your contribution to the crisis.
Each case and each divorce is unique. None has provoked such a uniquely vitriolic reaction as the headlines that have been spinning for the past few weeks on Gwyneth Paltrow's request on her website for privacy during her divorce.
Every relationship goes through normal highs and lows, but if you seem to be stuck in the lows more often than not, it might be time to consider if you're in a dead end relationship. Here are the top five surprising signs that you're romance isn't going anywhere, fast.
Even though it might sound like a contradiction in terms, change has been one of the few constants in British family life over the last few decades.

Your First Experience of Hospital

Re: Your First Experience of Hospital
I'm a registered nurse and work on a medical surgical floor. I also have my fusion scheduled for October. So, I know (or will soon) both ends of this thread.
First, I have to back up myself and my fellow nurses. If you knew the bull$*&# we had to put up with, you'd know why we aren't able to answer call lights right away. Nowadays, most nurses have a cell phone with an extension. I always encourage my alert patients to call me rather than use their call light. The call lights are answered by a secretary who is doing a thousand different things in addition to answering call lights for the entire floor (30+ patients). Ask your nurse if there is a better way of reaching her directly. Have her write her number/extension on the board in your room.
Don't wait until your pain is unbearable. Ask for pain meds when your pain is a 5/10. It's easier to treat 5/10 than to wait until it's 10/10 when no amount of medication can relieve it.
Clump your needs together. If you call your nurse for pain medication, think of what else you need before you send her away to get your meds. It's really difficult to help someone when they ask for one thing, then you bring it, then they ask for another thing, and you bring it, and then they call for something else... It sounds harsh, but the reality is that while nurses do want to help, we are extremely busy. Think of it like a waiter in a restaurant... they can do their job better if you tell them you need napkins, more water, a side of sauce, etc all at once rather than asking one at a time.
Buy pizza for the nurses and attach a note on top saying "Thanks for all the care, love the patient in room XX". Promise you'll get better care. Sometimes just knowing our care is appreciated goes along way. We deal with a lot of rude and ungrateful people, so the nice ones are a breath of fresh air. Saying please and thank you go a long way... common curtousy is priceless. You'd be surprised how frequently people forget their manners.
Know who does what. Usually nurses work with an aide. Don't bother your nurse if you need to go to the bathroom (I feel mean saying it over and over, but nurses are so busy). See if your nurse's aide has a number they can be reached at directly as well (they should have work cell phones too). Your nurse will appreciate not being bogged down with doing things that someone else can do and will allow your nurse to get your pain medication (and other patient's pain medication) in a more timely manner.
Arrange for people to come visit you and encourage your family to help you. It's so nice when patient's have family that aren't afraid to help out. If your family is weary about helping you out of bed, be sure to have the physical therapist educate them on how to help the right way. Get your family involved. There's nothing worse than when a family repeatedly asks me to do things that they can really do themselves (again, this sounds harsh, but we are SO busy).
Not sure what showering is like post-op, but there are special waterless shampoo caps the nurse can order for you to wash your hair. Not many patients know about these. They aren't the greatest, but it's a nice alternative to nothing at all.
Most hospitals have you fill out a menu each morning for the next day. But, you can always call the operator and have her connect you to the "diet office" and request things that aren't on that menu. If there's something you like that's not on the menu, chances are they can bring it to you anyway. Can't promise it'll be what you imagined it to be, but do know there are more options than what's on the menu.
If you like your nurse and you've gotten great care, ask if there is a special form you can fill out on her behalf. It's the little things like this that go a long way. Again, you'll get more smiles and better care if your nurse knows her efforts are appreciated.
Hope these help.

South Bend, Ind. New charges were filed Thursday for a man who allegedly drove away from police during a traffic stop.
26-year-old Bryan Morrow has been charged with resisting law enforcement and possession of meth, both are felonies.
Prosecutors say police tried to stop Morrow near the Kroc Center, but he drove away. That's when he ditched his car in a field just east of Notre Dame, and led police, this time, on a foot chase.
When they finally caught up with him, police reportedly found a white powdery substance that tested positive for meth.

The Event Review: "To Keep Us Safe"at . Comments
My feelings for The Event did not change from its opening episode through its follow-up: I really like this new drama.
It was nice that the writers showed us within the first 45 seconds where the plane disappeared to in "To Keep Us Safe," and within the hour we found out that the prisoners at Mount Inostranka Detention Facility are not human, but instead are aliens.
Oh, how I love me some good ol' alien TV shows! I've always been a huge fan of 4400, along with the the current remake of the miniseries V, so The Event is right up my alley!
What makes this show different is the fact that half of the aliens that landed here have been trapped in the detention facility for over sixty years. Sophia stated to the President that her people can't wait any longer. They have been patient enough and want out. What do you think this could entail?I love that Agent Lee is one of them. I knew by the way he would meet with Sophia that there was more to him than his strikingly handsome good looks, but I would have never expected him to be one of them. How clever was he when the lady was taking his fake blood? Who knew you could even put a fake line of blood under the skin like that? I have to admit it was kinda gross watching him pull it out of his arm.
We also learned more about Vicky. The party girl from the cruise is not just a party girl but is working with the people that kidnapped Leila. Why do you think they chose Michael Buchanan out of anyone to fly that plane? Do you think that he has connections to these people... or, even better, is an alien?
I feel so bad for Sean! He seems like a typical guy that happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Who knows? Maybe Leila knows more about all of this than she's letting on. Something just doesn't sit well with me and this situation. Hopefully, Sean will escape before they send him to prison for a murder he did not commit!
Whoever these people are, they did not want any one to find out that we have aliens living among us. So much so that they tried to attack the President to divert attention. It worked enough for the President to not go through with the press conference once he realized that Sophia had been lying to them all about how many aliens survived the crash.
Elsewhere, Thomas is a new and very interesting character. He is an alien that lead the others into hiding and, from the looks of it, could be a potential love interest of Sophia's. Something tells me that he is up to no good and is sick and tired playing by human rules.
So the episode ended with Agent Lee being in charge of finding the rogue aliens (go figure, right!?) and going to the scene of the plane crash to find all the people dead outside the plane. Who do you think did this?
Like I said before, I am really loving this show! What did you think of last night's episode? Love it or hate is, let us know!
Until next week, here are a few of The Event quotes from last night:
Blake: Do whatever you have to, to find them. | permalink
Sophia: What I can tell you is that we mean you no harm. | permalink
Thomas: What about you?
Sophia: I can't abandon them. Unless you go there's no hope for any of us. | permalink
Martinez: Why are we holding them?
Blake: Excuse me Mr. President?
Martinez: Why are we holding them?
Blake: We're holding them because they refuse to tell us the truth about who they really are, why they are really here or what they really want. They have a hidden agenda, I know it in my bones. | permalink
Martinez: Right now I'm less concerned with who's trying to kill us than who saved us. | permalink
I KNEW it! They brought back to life!!! I wish I didn't know it, but I did. Now I am certain they are us from the future, but then again, i could be wrong LOL!
never mind that not one of the flashbacks give us more information then we know from the dialogue...tell me, was it important to place db sweeny on both the ship and where the gf are? did we even need the scene where daddy pilot discovers his daughters are hostages? i mean, he tells facial hair boy everything did we need to know how the lovebirds met? oh, and why is facial hair boy allowed to take control on the plane...no one has died...yet we only see one flight attendant and she is in a panic and im sorry, but agent lee (who we last saw screaming at a plane) being one of the aliens (or whatever) was more than obvious....what would have been cool was if the head of the cia was a whatever and facial hair boy jabbering away in the back of the fbi car...i was waiting for one of them to shoot him just to shut him up.... dear john ritter....please come back from the dead and slap your son silly for taking this gig....thank you and lol...here are some trippy aliens who are able to create a worm whole, but for 66 years havent figured out how to release their friends? this is like the professor on giligans island makeing all these great gadgets but having no clue how to build a friggin boat. my prediction...the show lost almost 20 percent of its viewership in one week....will lose more next week...canceled by month 2
this has the potential to be something great.
@Mrs. Northman, Sophia's possible love interest,Thomas, he said thaty since they (being the aliens) saved those on the plane, that they should at least "use" them. It is my belief that this guy Thomas is a bad egg.
Sure he hasn't seen his "girl" in sixty plus years, but from the way agent Lee was speaking, it doesn't seem like Sophia wanted them dead. I say it again, Thomas is a bad egg. Also, the guy who plays the dude who gave agent lee his orders...he is a bad guy on almost every show he has been on (most recently Heroes season 3) I understand that this actor can play "evil" quite well, but come on...if he is as half as predictable as he was in heroes, he is going to be a source of pain to watch. Poor Sean, for a moment, it looked to me like the female fbi agent was going to believe him about his loosing his girlfriend.
Which brings me to Leila, I have to agree with @Mrs. Northman on this, I think it would be interesting to have Leila's father been one of those who got away from Sophia's group and went into hiding (obviously) and started a family and Leila and her sister are some sort of weird "half-breed" of alien. Maybe that's why she couldn't swim, it is a part of her alien side. Or maybe she is flat human and never bothered to learn to swim. (that right there would take all the fun out of any possible twists that could happen.) I am liking the show and am very eager for Monday to come back around so I can see the next episode.
Possible Spoiler follows-Only my "possible" deductions: I really do enjoy the Ev3nt. I would hate to lose it, because tv needs at least one Fall Season Network SciFi other than Fringe. My take: I'm still not convinced the detainees are actually aliens. The writers are pushing us that way and the detainees probably are aliens, but at the same time they just maybe us from the future farther up the evolutionary ladder. I felt a "brick to the head" foreshadowing when they were discussing the difference in DNA and then compared it to our differences with chimpanzees. Then again, the plot's subjects could be exactly what the writers have already plainly explained and I could be over complicating. But isn't a show like this suppose to be over complicated? I don't know, it just seems too easy for this type of SciFi show to be just clear cut "aliens." Sophia comes off more "evolved" but also extremely compassionate to humans. Also the plane disappearing at the end of the first episode left me at least with very little doubt of where the writers were at least "trying" to take us or should I say mislead us. Also was it just me, or was that a black hole they manipulated to stop the plane? Black hole equals not only space travel but time travel. It also could mean alternate universes, but I think that that wouldn't explain the difference in genetics and would be too much like Fringe. They also killed everyone to make a point. Could be because of alien anger and invasion or the agenda could be the world's future, hence traveling back in time. Time travel seems to much more true to point due to the caginess of what the detainees are or are not allowed to share with everyone else. There's that whole problematic issue with paradoxes and changing the detainees future entirely instead of more importantly saving it. Then again, if they were worried about paradoxes they wouldn't have killed everyone on board the plane. Thus I guess it is keeping me still guessing in some important respects, which means the show can definitely grow. I must say that I am quite disappointed that I knew from the very first conversation Agent Lee had with Sophia that he was one of them and a sleeper. Plus it was also very obvious that the tourist couple who met Sean and Leila on the cruise had sinister intent from the get-go. Even the ending conversation of episode 2 Agent Lee and Clifton Collins Jr.'s character, I was hoping for some sort of a surprise but sadly the obvious foreshadowing that some of the "others" are becoming impatient led to a show of life and death force/power that although they saved the passengers they can also just as easily sadly but predictably kill them, as well. Now the question is, do they have the ability to bring them back to life? Now that would be interesting. Unfortunately, a number of the plot-lines the Ev3nt writers are creating are just way too obvious. They are jumping all over the place with flashbacks etc. at an alarming rate trying to make it complicated which is instead making The Ev3nt more confusing also at the expense of making the important stuff too obvious long before you are suppose to realize the writer's intentions. Although it is annoying when they let something play out too long, for me it is even more annoying when the actors and writers are playing the obvious to easily. There needs to be a happy medium for this show to last, which although it seems contrary to what I have written, I'd really like to see this happen. I want the Ev3nt to find a steady audience (ratings were sadly down quite a bit on the 2nd episode), last a respectable amount of time to become invested in without the network yanking it and not fizzle out before it has even begun. Let me end this with a partial high note by stating the obvious myself, The Ev3nt has a stellar and extremely likeable cast. I love Jason Ritter, Laura Innes, Blair Underwood, Ian Anthony Lee, Zeljko Ivanek, Clifton Collins Jr., and Scott Patterson (I so hope he isn't dead) are among the few. The problems seem more in the supporting actors being written poorly or sadly just miscast, because again, too obvious with the filler info on both the writers and actor's interpretations. The Ev3nt has a fun and what could be an extremely engaging concept, but it needs to stop the alarmingly jumpy flashback and have the some of the characters play their parts without giving their future actions away before they are intended. Please give the audience more obtuse character intention, a less complicated jumpny flashback formula, and more complicated character intrigue, because I would like The Ev3nt to last a lot longer than "FlashForward" that is now just a "flashback' on the cutting room floor.

Tom Ford secures the new Bond. Looking forward to seeing it.
Still think A Single Man was a great film that served Tom Ford well. Very classic lines and great style.
Some people have been flaming TF suits for the collar gap. But, those 2 pictures of Daniel make the suits look pretty damn good. They fit so well!post #21424 of 5708711/15/12 at 3:57amQuote:
they don't look TF at all to me. they do, however, look brilliant. i think TF is a bit late... he's more of a Roger Moore client.
Edit: I am a major fan of TF and the work he did at gucci. i just don't think this film resembles his stylepost #21425 of 5708711/15/12 at 4:15amQuote:Originally Posted by California Dreamer
Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show) What a great post fxh. Thanks for that.
Reminds me, I've been scouring op shops and ebay lately for vintage cufflinks. Here are some finds.
Top left group L-R:
Taxco Mexico Silver with Mayan calendar design
Cartier logo links
9 ct gold with crystals
Bottom left group L-R:
Carnelian double-sided
Dumbbell links with glass inset
Sterling silver with unidentified stone (topaz, maybe?)
Right group T-B:
Gilt and enamel Art Deco
2 pairs of fabric links
Silvertone with unidentified stone
That unidentified stone may be garnet IMO. The Mayan ones are beautiful...what a score! I never miss gazing into the trinket cupboards at opshops.post #21426 of 5708711/15/12 at 4:23amQuote:
Collar gap is pretty hard to avoid with the pin collar thing he's got going in all those pics.

I just received (yet another) vintage brown window pane checked IVY tweed sport coat from USA. Postage =$18 USA.
Having shipped stuff back and forward to USA since the old days of exchanging bootleg music tapes I can say the USA postal "system" is weird and inefficient. I used to have stuff get to LA from here quicker than it would ship from LA to say Colorado.
For some reason USA post offices are hard to access, they aren't in all suburbs, and involve long times in queues and crazy paper work. Therefore many USA people prefer to ship using Fedex, DHL etc and this involves extra fees. In addition many prefer to ship with a higher insured service with tracking. (I'm not clear what real, as opposed to imagined, benefit tracking offers.) But thats the preference. Sometimes with individuals asking them to ship plain old UPS without insurance etc is the way to go.
* I think one reason / difference is that for ordinary letters etc the USA postie will also pick up mail to send from your home letter box - that s what those funny little flag arms on USA home letter boxes are for - too signal to postie to pickup mail. So a parcel post involves a lot more work than posting a "normal" letter. I think this is still the case but may have changed.
I had a priority paid article get here in like 7+ days. Amazing as most priority paid gets here same as first class international. Maybe it was the tracking that sped it up?post #21428 of 5708711/15/12 at 1:11pm

Great question and one I am not sure there is an real answer to since pocket squares are not like ties in this respect. Hopefully Put This On will to a series on this like their Neckties and Double Monks Series.
I agree white linen is the most usual (and possibly only required basic), then I would say something in silk, maybe with polka dots (possibly navy and white though that can be a bit boring and lost on a navy suit), something in cotton and then whatever. Since you are stuffing them in your breast pocket it really does not matter what the pattern is and it can be in whatever shade as long as it does not match tie to closely. Looking at my collection there is little rhyme or reason to it (I think I have about 25). Green and purple pocket squares with patterns seems to be quite useful for me (after white linen) as I do not have many ties in these colours and they match many ties nicely whilst adding a nice pop of colour.
I usually just choose things that look nice at the moment and have a interesting pattern as then depending on how you fold/stuff you get different colours and patterns showing (liking the Vanda ones especially and love my Drakes tiger one in purple).
In saying all that the next pocket square I want is white with a border in sky blue, navy, red or whatever colour so maybe one of those should be list.
My only rule with pocket squares is if there is a breast pocket on a jacket/coat - fill it!
In other news my Church's from Herring arrived today, they look great (very classical and conservative). I sized up half a size (as advised by Herring) and they fit really well (in so far as I can try then on with one foot in a moonboot and on crutches).
Will try to upload a (dodgy iPhone) photograph later on.post #21431 of 5708711/15/12 at 2:21pm

Seabrook Island Condo Rental Photos and Description
Lovely Beachfront 1BR 2BA Luxury Condo
Seabrook is an incredibly beautiful barrier island 25 miles from Charleston's historic district --- where the beaches are unspoiled and uncrowded, where deer are routinely seen at dusk and early morning and dolphins swim along side as you walk on the beach. A place where, if you like the out-of-doors, boredom is not a possibility!
A quiet, private island, it is enclosed by beautiful beaches on two sides – for walking, sunning, horseback riding, fishing, or just sitting. The remaining two sides offer tidal marsh with its meandering creeks, perfect for kayaking, crabbing or observing some of the more than 150 species of birds found on the island.
This comfortable, well appointed Pelican Watch villa, is a first floor, beach front unit. It is a desirable end unit with an extra wall of windows providing wonderful natural light.
The boardwalk that goes across the dunes to the beach is about ten feet from the villa deck, making the trip to the beach an easy one for all ages. The covered deck offers great views and a comfortable place to have a meal or watch an incredible sunset!
Options for fine golfing are close by. Just outside Seabrook's gate is Bohicket Marina where boats can be rented for leisure or serious deep sea fishing. Bikes are a must and can also be rented.
Charleston is a city of museums, historic sites, carriage rides and tours, wonderful boutiques and antique shops and an endless choice of typically Charleston restaurants. Good eating is available much closer to home with many fine restaurants within two miles from the gate, including several choices on Kiawah Island.
Amenities:Villa includes newly updated kitchen with washer, dryer, full size refrigerator, stove, microwave, cable TV, VCR and DVD in LR, cable TV in BR, telephones in kitchen, BR & LR, hairdryer, sand chairs, comfortable porch furniture for watching sunsets. Access to resources of the Seabrook Island Club -- tennis, equestrian center, fitness center, pools, golf, restaurants -- is available through the Club at an additional fee. Bicycles, kayaks and other outdoor equipment easily rented and delivered to villa. All linens, paper and cleaning products included.

Apple's iOS 7 hands-on, in pictures (gallery)
Summary: The iPhone and iPad maker on Monday announced iOS 7, its latest mobile operating system. ZDNet takes it for a test drive and shows you the new user interface and some of the new features.
9 of 64Image
Swiping between screens
Swiping between screens remains mostly the same. You can also, for the first time, put Newsstand in a folder out of sight. It's not clear whether this will make it into the final version of iOS 7, because Newsstand can add to Apple's top line.
Still can't delete default apps
But the default apps cannot be deleted, much to the displeasure of some. Also, FaceTime has its own icon for the first time. iBooks, which comes with iOS 7 preinstalled, can be deleted.
You can see some of the transitions in the video above.
Kick off your day with ZDNet's daily email newsletter. It's the freshest tech news and opinion, served hot. Get it.

► The University of Maryland's National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism reports that global terrorism was at an all-time high in 2012, reports Government Technology. The latest numbers tallied from the group's Global Terrorism Database indicates that there were more than 8,400 terrorist attacks worldwide in 2012 and more than 15,400 casualties. Incidents in Pakistan, Iraq, and Afghanistan account for 54 percent of all terrorist-related fatalities. The numbers also show that the Taliban is the deadliest terrorist group, with more than 2,500 fatalities. Boko Haram is next with more than 1,200 fatalities.
► A report issued by the law firm of Davis Polk indicates that many of the requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act remain unmet. According to the report, "as of January 2, 2014, a total of 280 Dodd-Frank rulemaking requirement deadlines have passed…of these 280 passed deadlines, 132 (47.1 percent) have been missed and 148 (52.9 percent) have been met with finalized rules. Regulators have not yet released proposals for 56 of the 132 missed rules."
► In a survey released today, military leaders cite cybersecurity as the most serious threat facing the United States. Defense News reports on its survey of 352 senior military members or civilians in the U.S. Defense Department. Of those surveyed, 45 percent indicated that cyber warfare is the greatest threat to the United States. On privacy issues, 47 percent of respondents said that the disclosures made by Edward Snowden have helped further the public debate on surveillance.

On September 30, 2014, the Governor of California signed Assembly Bill 1710, which made three small but important changes to the state's privacy laws. The bill: (1) amended California's breach notification law to require that the notifying entities offer identity theft protection services to affected individuals in certain cases; (2) required California businesses that "maintain" personal information on state residents to adopt reasonable security procedures to protect that personal information (a requirement that previously only applied to businesses that own or license such data); and (3) amended the state's Social Security Number ("SSN") protection law to prohibit the sale or advertisement for sale of such numbers, with limited exception. The bill will become effective January 1, 2015. Having been the first state to enact a breach notification law, California continues to be at the cutting edge of state efforts to deal with cybersecurity.

Kim Peretti, co-chair of the firm's Security Incident Management & Response Team, authored (with contributions from associate Lou Dennig) the Bloomberg BNA article, "Cyber Threat Intelligence: To Share or Not to Share—What Are the Real Concerns?" In the article, Peretti discusses the importance of exchanging cyberthreat information and the concerns relating to information sharing, as well as provides guidance for companies in mitigating potential risks regarding this information sharing.

Kim Peretti, partner and co-chair of the firm's Security Incident Management and Response Team, will moderate a panel discussion during this September 11 event. The featured speakers are Tom Finan, Senior Cybersecurity Strategist and Counsel with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and Sean Hyatt, counsel in the firm's Litigation & Trial Practice Group and a member of the Insurance Litigation & Regulation Team.
Kim Peretti, co-chair of the firm's Security Incident Management & Response Team, was interviewed on by BankInfoSecurity about what boards must know about security issues and how to keep directors risk-aware.
In the interview, titled "Cybersecurity: What Boards Must Know," Peretti discusses what directors don't know about security, the pre- and post-breach responsibilities of boards, and how to educate the board - and when. "[Boards] have an awareness of the threat out there," Peretti said. "But what they're struggling with - what they don't know - is what is the risk that the [threat] has to any particular organization, how do you mitigate that risk, and how do you respond to it?"
On Friday, August 22 the Department of Homeland Security ("DHS") and U.S. Secret Service released an advisory warning that a family of malware known as "Backoff" may have infiltrated the Point of Sale ("PoS") systems of over 1,000 U.S. businesses. The malware was injected into some systems as far as back as October 2013, and DHS warns that it "has likely infected many victims who are unaware that they have been compromised." "Backoff" allows cybercriminals to remotely exfiltrate consumer credit card information by exploiting an organization's administrator accounts. The advisory strongly encourages businesses to take immediate action and contact their IT personnel, PoS and antivirus vendors as well as other service providers to assess whether their systems have been compromised by the malware.
The Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (PCI-SSC) today released recommendations for meeting the PCI Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS) when sharing cardholder data with third party service providers. PCI-DSS requires a merchant or other entity in entrusted with cardholder data to ensure that cardholder data continues to be protected when it is provided to a third party.

In remarks delivered earlier this month, U.S. Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew highlighted the dangers of "cyber intrusions" to financial institutions. Secretary Lew cited more than 250 cyber attacks against U.S. banks and credit unions since 2011, as well as recent hacks and credit card thefts against major retailers. "Cyber attacks on our financial system represent a real threat to our economic and national security," said Secretary Lew.
Kim Peretti, co-chair of the firm's Security Incident Management & Response Team, co-authored with Jessica Corley, chair of the firm's Securities Litigation Group, the Bloomberg BNA article, "Cybersecurity: What Directors Need to Know in an Era of Increased Scrutiny." In the article, Peretti and Corley discuss the cybersecurity issues that directors and officers face due to the fact that most companies' assets are stored digitally and, therefore, at risk of cyberattacks. Because of these risks, well-designed policies and procedures to ensure data security are crucial to companies of all sizes, both in the public and private sectors. Directors and officers are under increased scrutiny and expected to be fully aware and engaged in their companies' cybersecurity measures. Peretti and Corley's article addresses the risks and impacts of data breaches, as well as practical pre- and post-breach guidance.

Dominique Shelton, partner in Alston and Bird's Privacy & Data Security practice and member of the Litigation and Trial Practice group, authored an article appearing on June 19 in International Association of Privacy Professionals' (IAPP) Privacy Advisor titled, "Court Denies Class-Action in Hulu Case, But There's More." In the article, Shelton discusses the Hulu consumer class-action case that has been ongoing since July 2011. Shelton points out that any company that hosts video content on its website or mobile app and includes a "Like" button or other social networking plug-in should be following this case. The issue at-hand is whether or not the technology associated with the "Like" button constitutes a violation of the Video Privacy Protection Act (VPPA) by disclosing users' viewing habits without their consent. Because this case touches so many companies, it is an important one to follow. The case resurfaced in the news this week because the court denied the plaintiffs' putative class-action lawsuit, without prejudice.
The West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals recently issued an important – but outlier – decision in a data breach class action. In a per curiam decision, the Court held that the plaintiffs had standing to bring their claims even though discovery revealed that not a single class member – much less the named plaintiffs – had suffered any property damage or economic losses. Tabata v. Charleston Area Med. Ctr., No. 13-0766, --- S.E.2d ---, 2014 WL 2439961 (W. Va. May 28, 2014). Indeed, the court found that, although some of plaintiffs' personal information had accidentally been made available on a website, there was no evidence anyone had ever viewed that information. Despite this, the Court concluded that the plaintiffs had standing to bring two common law claims.
Data privacy practices and related class action litigation continue to be super-hot topics that require close attention from companies. Brand damage, governance shakeups and congressional inquiries because of data practices should provide sufficient motivation to stay up-to-the minute in these critical areas. This advisory examines the latest developments in the Hulu litigation involving alleged violations of the Video Privacy Protection Act. While a California federal district court has denied certification of a class of Hulu video service users, it left the door open for future class cases in this emerging area. The full Cyber Alert is available here.

In follow up to our previous blog, California AG Kamala Harris Issues Privacy Policy Guidance: Making Your Privacy Practices Public Contains Draft Tips for Website and Online Service Privacy Policies, regarding the release of the AG's report, please see our recently released client advisory providing a detailed analysis of the new privacy guidance: California Attorney General Kamala Harris Releases Long-Anticipated Guidance Regarding Privacy Policy Notices . As conceived, the Report is designed to apply to all businesses, regardless of the country or state in which they operate, based on the California AG's position that the California Online Privacy Protection Act (Cal-OPPA) applies to all companies that collect personal information about California residents through their websites, online services or mobile apps, even if the business has no other connection to California.

Two decisions from last week have provided clarity – at least regarding which tribunal will first decide whether LabMD violated Section 5 – in the ongoing battle between the FTC and LabMD. In the first decision, the Eleventh Circuit refused to stay, pending appellate review, the FTC's administrative action against LabMD. This decision came on the heels of the district court refusing to enjoin the FTC's administrative action due to a lack of jurisdiction to do so. In the second decision, the FTC refused to grant LabMD's Motion for Summary Decision. The net result of these decisions is twofold. First, the trial of the FTC's administrative proceeding against LabMD is now in progress. Second, no federal court will likely address the merits of LabMD's arguments until after the FTC's administrative action concludes.
Today, California Attorney General Kamala Harris released her long-anticipated guidance on privacy policies for companies collecting information from California residents in a report entitled Making Your Privacy Practices Public (the "Report"). While the Report exceeds existing law in many respects, affected companies should take heed to review the report and be familiar with its contents as it sets forth a blue print for how the CA AG's office views "best practices" in connection with privacy policy drafting in the areas of "Big Data," behavioral tracking, data security, and the "readability" of privacy disclosures. Further, the CA AG takes the position that California's Online Privacy Protection Act (Cal-OPPA) applies to all companies that collect information from California residents – and as such applies to companies operating outside of California.

Their two tracks, "Sea Sick" and "Haunting", have been posted for free stream on their official Facebook page, and another song "Better View" is up on their MySpace.
The Finn Hudson depicter is going to make his first gig with his band next year. The concert will take place at the Roxy Theater in Los Angeles, on January 9. "My band! And our first show! Roxy. LA... It's like xmas; post-xmas! x-tra-mas!" Cory excitedly tweeted.
In related news, Selena Gomez revealed in an interview that she would love to make a duet with Cory Monteith. The "Wizards of Waverly Place" actress plays opposite the "Glee" actor in movie "Monte Carlo".

MSLGroup Atlanta this way comes…..
August came and went like a flash and so did our latest project. The month found us making new friends when the MSLgroup Atlanta booked our swanky lil' abode to shoot a new Comcast Xfinity spot. The Chicago production team for Comcast flew in and we had a grand old time laughing ourselves silly and getting a lot of work done in a short amount of time. Who knew there were such nice people that far north of the Mason-Dixon line? But you know you can't trust them-they think our roads are terrific! Please don't let them talk to the Pothole Posse.
It was the perfect situation–we throw up a greenscreen backdrop–longways, no wait, shortways, no wait, longways, paint the floor green and bam! Magic happened! The boys from Chicago, and Becky too, brought in the new Canon C500 camera and made some pretty pictures. Creative was handled by Troy Brown and his group from MSL. We can't wait to see the final product.
And oh yeah, it's a good thing I have Comcast cable and internet here and at home!!!! Whew!

M.I.A. & Kanye & friends (via Kanye's blog)
Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco, and N.E.R.D. are playing Madison Square Garden again on August 5th. Tickets go on sale Friday June 13 @ 10am. I didn't forget about Rihanna - her name doesn't seem to be on the bill this time around.
Kanye has a new video for "Flashing Lights". N.E.R.D. has a new video. Their last show at MSG was in May. Kanye then played another NYC show the next night and surrounded himself with half-naked girls dressed as astronauts. Video from that below....

Some photos of last night's show at MSG courtesy of ATHLETE Director Dave...
At Tuesday night's Madison Square Garden stop on his national "Glow in the Dark" tour, West rapped and roamed around an otherwise empty stage, assuring that all focus would land entirely on himself.
The vast staging mimicked a lunar landscape in a world far away, underscoring "Glow's" intergalactic theme, which served the star's ego as well. At one point in the night's "Lost in Space" scenario, West met a female space alien who, naturally, recognized him.
"You're the biggest star in the universe," she exclaimed.
[Jim Farber - Daily News]
N.E.R.D. are opening for Kanye West at MSG tonight. I hope they play a much smaller venue in NYC before their new album comes out next month. Check out their performance from Letterman last night.....

Yo, anybody that's not a fan; don't come to my show. For what?! To try and throw ya'll two cents in? Ya'll rated my album shitty and now ya'll come to the show and give it a B+. What's a B+ mean? I'm an extremist. It's either pass or fail! A+ or F-! You know what, fuck you and the whole fucking staff!!! I know I shouldn't dignify this with a comment, but the reviewer threw a jab at all the artists. I just wanna know when was the last time you enjoyed yourself. If you can't have fun and lose yourself at this tour it's a good chance you're a very miserable person. I actually feel sorry for you guys. Your job forces you to not have fun anymore. Grab a drink, holla at some nice girls, and party bitch!! You don't know shit about passion and art. You'll never gain credibility at this rate. You're fucking trash! I make art. You can't rate this. I'm a real person. I'm not a pop star. I don't care about anything but making great art. Never come 2 one of my shows ever again, you're not invited and if you see me...BOW!!

No dates yet.
Kanye West's last show was at the Museum of Natural History.
Lupe Fiasco is also signing autographs at J&R Music World this Saturday. and then playing Nokia Theatre later that night.
N.E.R.D. is playing SXSW.
Lupe on stage w/ UNKLE @ Vegoose 2007 (CRED)
The Lupe Fiasco one-off, record-release show at Irving Plaza is this Tuesday December 18th. Then he's taking a Hawaiian vacation, and then he'll start a tour in January that will eventually bring him back to NYC on February 2nd for a show at Nokia Theatre. Tickets for that one aren't on sale yet, but they are for a lot of other dates.
Lupe (and Jill Scott) was also just nominated for a Grammy. Does he care that much?
Nah. I was thinking about this one, though, I was kind of pondering the importance of a Grammy nomination. It can really affect sales and things of that nature. We'll see if I win one. It's starting to be the little things that matter to me. Like, last night I got invited out to see The Cult, with Ian Astbury, and he shouted me out on stage. I'm a big fan of Ian Astbury. I think The Cult is a little bit before my time, but I'm a big fan of Ian Astbury's due to a lot of the stuff he's done with UNKLE. So, yeah, it's more those little things and occurrences, which are the milestones. Like, "Frank Sinatra went over to Sammy Davis Jr.'s house and they had a barbeque." It's starting to be like, "Damn, guess who I was just with yesterday?" I got a chance to perform with UNKLE, which was phenomenal. It was with a live band, we were all in Vegas. Some people might be like, "Who the hell is UNKLE?" But for me it's like, "Damn." Those are the stories I'm gonna tell my kids. [Lupe to the Village Voice]This is the part where I was going to post Lupe's entire new album for you to download for free, but then I read THIS, so you'll have to just stream it instead. All dates below....

We don't have many releases left to look forward to in 2007 (hence the appearance of so many end-of-year lists), but in the world of on-the-indie-rock-radar hip hop, there are actually two potentially (I haven't heard the leaks) awesome albums still coming out (and one of them is not the new Daft Punk). They are: Ghostface Killah's The Big Doe Rehab (out Dec 4), and Lupe Fiasco's The Cool (out Dec 18).
Vampire Weekend added a 2nd NYC show at Bowery Ballroom (Jan 30). Tickets go on sale Friday. The first one (Jan 29 - the same day their new album comes out) is almost sold out. Wu-Tang Clan (and more VW) tour dates HERE. Info on Lupe's upcoming NYC show, HERE.
Tickets go on sale Wednesday for a December 18th Lupe Fiasco "record release" show at the Fillmore New York at Irving Plaza. The new record is called "The Cool", and the first single "Superstar" is streaming at Lupe's page.
I saw Lupe Fiasco perform last week - ONE WHOLE SONG (and with a member of Fall Out Boy) at the mtvU awards at Roseland - the same show Spank Rock was drunk at. That's Lupe in the photo above. It was taken by Leia Jospe for BrooklynVegan. So were all the other pictures in this post. More photos of Lupe, Rilo Kiley (played 2 or 3 songs), Annie Lennox (accepted an award), Peter Bjorn and John (nominated, men about town), Spank Rock (played 2 songs), Tokyo Police Club (played 2 or 3 songs, then explored the basement of Roseland with us) & other characters present at the event....

Rilo Kiley have been confirmed to play the MTVu Woody Awards at Roseland Ballroom in NYC tomorrow night (Nov 8, 2007)...

The 14 Best Summer Foods for Weight Loss
'Tis the season to skimp on clothing, not flavor. These light and refreshing summer foods will tingle your tastebuds and help you shed lbs.
By Megan Cahn
Grilled Vegetables
Veggies are low in calories and high in fiber, but we're so quick to dunk them in creamy dips and dressings that they often morph into a secretly high-fat snack. To keep your vegetables low-cal, try drizzling olive oil over onions, bell peppers, zucchini, eggplant, or asparagus and throwing them on the BBQ. The grill will bring out deliciously distinct flavors that you wont want to cover up. Jackson also suggests keeping a plate of grilled veggies in the fridge to make salads, vegetable pitas, pasta, and frittatas on the go.

With the wedding behind him, Prince William is back to work in his role as a search and rescue pilot in Anglesey and has had to hit the ground running.
Involved in three rescue operations in the past week, the new Duke of Cambridge has proven that his high-profile nuptials have not distracted him from his duties.
One of those rescued was Nick Barnett a retired High Court judge from West Sussex.
After suffering a heart attack while walking in Snowdonia, the 70-year-old was flown to hospital by William.
The former judge – who is still in the hospital – thanked the Duke for his help and has praised his efforts.
Although the royal couple have quickly got back into their daily routine they do intend do take some time off at a later date to enjoy a romantic honeymoon.

The Orange County football team only came away with two wins in Keita Malloy's first season as the Hornets' head coach, but a win over Albemarle and a loss to Monticello where they led early give Malloy hope heading into a new season.
"There are signs that obviously we can play with anybody, as I tell the players all the time," Malloy said. "Our problem was not a personnel piece, we had the talent to play with anybody. But we didn't play very smart football last year, and that starts with me."
Mental mistakes were the biggest issues Malloy wanted to correct in his second season with the team, and he used the whole offseason to try and fix those mistakes.
"This year we started off with film, watched a lot of film from last year," said senior tight end and quarterback Nick Morgan. "We also just got to understand the game a lot more with him teaching us everything that we need to know to correct them this year."
Morgan is one of the Hornets who may be starting at quarterback this season. Former starter Garrett Johnson left the team before his senior season was set to begin. The change will be an adjustment for Orange County, but the Hornets are used to making changes after all the work they did in the offseason.
"The culture of the locker room has changed a lot this year, a lot more focused, a lot more disciplined," said senior kicker, wide receiver, and linebacker Kris Hooper. "We're ready for this season and ready to leave it out on the field this year, so I think that's what's different than last year."
"I think last year we probably were looked at more as a team that teams wanted to play, and I think this year that's changed a little bit," added Malloy. "I think teams aren't as eager to see us come off the bus as they were last year, and that's a good thing."
In the last three season, the Hornets have won a total of four games. For a team filled with players who have never had a winning season, that's undoubtedly a motivating factor.
"We talk about the last five seasons of Orange County and how it hasn't really been a winning team," said Morgan. "The only way that we can win is if we do what [Malloy] asks, pay attention, be here and put out everything that he wants us to do. And we'll be a good team and a winning team."
