SmileI like to see you smile,Just for a week or a while,You don't need to bear teeth,Pure as white winter snow,Because this heartache I know.I like to see you smile,Just for a moment or a mile,There's no reason to suffer,Weeping those turquoise tears,Because of those aches of yesteryears.
The Girl In A TeardropThere sits a shattered girl,Imprisoned in her tormented tears,Wishing she had not wasted her youthful years,Looking for her one true pearl,Who never showed his flawless face.There weeps a sad girl,Reflecting her mask in the mirror,Seeing her self becoming thinner and thinner,And now she sees the echoes of her age,Guiding her back from her heartbroken mind.There breathes a sorrowful girl,Staring out of her sweet nectar sobs,Hoping to escape from her self-infliction,But what is out there for her to find?Except a dawn of despair and dereliction.
100 Poem Feature Journal September 2014Hello Fellow Poet Meisters! So here I am again with another journal feature, which focuses on that singular entity: poetry. What you are about to read are some of the greatest talent to pick up a pen, type on a keyboard or think up a brand new original stream of conscious thought. I've tried to keep the mix of poems as eclectic and varied as possible. Well instead of me babbling on I believe I'll let the poets' work speak for themselves.Soul-Reader chromeantennae saevuswinds Shipwrecked Dreams by saevuswinds Worthless by saevuswindsTessrianeKitchen by Tessriane Warpaint by Tessriane Cirque du Masque by Tessriane Inspiration by TessrianeMez3rikaWithout Strings by Mez3rika Snowflakes by Mez3rika Wishing Well by Mez3rika Finger Tips by Mez3rikabackasswardsKSwing by backasswardsK Star Child by backasswardsK Farewell by backasswardsK Vacuum by backasswardsK:devInnerR
The Word RoseAnd from the blue and cotton clouds,Out forth I plucked for you -A single word rose.Notebook petals, blooming in the bloodOf scarlet love,Dripping sweet melodies from high aboveShowering us in an embracing flood.It was a single word roseAnd upon it was written your heartIn the form of a hundred rhymesPlaying out your song,Your beautiful songAnd nothing could let it fall apart.And from the blue and cotton clouds,Out forth I plucked for you -A single word rose.Poetic thorns, glaring through the galeOf obsidian disgust,Sneering dark voices of our innocent lustWhispering to us of that word rose pale.It was a single word roseAnd within it was hidden my heartIn the form of a thousand crimesWeeping all my sins,All my blackest sinsBut no one ever saw me fall apart.And from the blue and cotton clouds,Out forth I plucked for you -A single word rose.Word rose, oh where are you?Word rose, ah shining in the blue,You hide my secrets andCover yourself in her heart.Wor
The Lost SoldierThere's an angel crying next to meI think its crazy, butShe's weeping silently, while I drink my tea,But her lips crack like those on porcelainAnd no matter what I do:Summer blues turn silver glass into rain.Oh, lord! An angel is crying next to meAnd my heart is broken, drowning in her pain.I don't need no thrills,No urban frills,To feel her warmth decay.Oh can you not see her breath chills?Behind muslin eyes she hidesWhatever forges her diamanté tearsLike snowdrop dew of yesterday.There's an angel sobbing beside me,I think she's insane, butShe's dying inside again, while I drink my tea,Like another drop of sugar, her spirit dissolvesAnd no matter what I know:Winter moon burns the stars who revolve.Oh, lord! An angel is sobbing beside meAnd I don't know what to do, please help me!She is puzzle, a riddle, I can't solve.She does not want my pity,My masque eccentricity,To see her intelligence waver.Oh can you not feel her skin frigidity?In silken breast sh
Our WorldTonight we shall awakeAnd we'll feel better;While scars dictate out a eulogyBefore icicle stars drip a lakeOf blood and ink.And our life is scribedAnd our destiny transcribedUpon ozone highways ofA time swept letter.Tonight we shall smileAnd we'll be fine;While bones taunt us in penuryOut of sync to heart's design:Never will we blink.And our strife is mystifiedAnd our history pacifiedTowards x-ray epitaphs onA lunar forged shrine.Tonight we shall glowAnd we'll fly high;As souls sing forth in melodyTo harp string's of an angel's sigh,But joy fades in a wink.And we're aliveThere's nothing we can't surviveAnd we're a mysteryTo bandaged eyes living misery.So let's set things right!Let's burn out tonight!Set the world alightWith the unity of our cries,Never to let the flames burn lowNor to allow our nightmaresPermission to fester and grow.So let's set things right!Tonight we shall awakeAnd even if it kills us;The world. Our world.Will be alright.

Passing ShipsIt was just like you to show up late. Honestly, it was just like you. It was the hottest day of the year so far and every green space was full of people trying to get their fix. Daylight junkies. When you live beneath grey clouds for most of your life it starts to take its toll and you take your highs where you can get them.I was a bundle of nerves, as I always was when it came to you, picking at grass and trying to pretend that the fact you were late was totally cool. Instinct told me differently and I knew as soon as you graced me with your presence that things had changed. It was written all over your face - guilt, guilt, guilt - but I was naive and thought you were just shy.I can't believe that it's been so long since you cracked me open under star spangled skies. I can't believe it's been almost a decade yet I'm still just as aware of you as I was before. They say that time heals but I still feel the wound, fresh and bleeding, beneath my skin. I still can't resist picking at it
When It RainsI think of you, when it rains.Don't you rememberThe fickle breezesSpattering droplets in our faces,How a great gust carried off your Donald Duck umbrellaAnd we chased it,Across the square, across the park,Where it finally caughtIn the rosebushes.One of the ribs was brokenBut I laughedAnd laughed because it made Donald's tail droop,Until you were laughing too.I don't know how we didn't evenNotice that my hands were bleeding from the thornsUntil we were halfway home.You asked me if it hurt—Of course it did,But it didn't matter—Besides, I just can't cry with raindrops running down my face,Running down my arms,Running free.Or, what aboutThe spangling rain of winter,Sharp—but harmless, like pins-and-needles—on our skinBut death to the lettersIn the postboxWhere their words would bleed their life away,Stabbed with rain.So for safety,You tucked the letters under your shirtThen pulled off your jacket,He
SolaceShe never slept well in the dark,not without the children of the sun and moonto guide her weary lids home.Guided by the aftermath, she was always two steps behind.What did the world look like to the girl who had been through it all?Braved the heaviest of storms,yet skipping over cracks in the pavement.They said her eyes were the wisps of clouds before the storm.To him they were reflections of pages overlooked.She said it was like she lived the life of someone she had never met.Laid out to dry, yesterdays news.He knew her as the girl who was built to never collapse.He wished he was too.He loved her more than words could say, and yet her pain was such,that at times, he feared she wouldn't make it.But on nights like these, even when it threatened to consume her,he became convinced that somehow she would.
The Man with the Gaping EyeThe dusty air of the courtyard never seemed to settle,invading the lungs of those passing by.The hot afternoon sun bakes the stone roads black,light tinged orange.The man with the gaping eye,his empty socket a crinkled web of scars.A blank face looks upon me,unseeing.His once strong jaw,now loose and misshapen from days he wishes he could forget.He still knows their names,they have long forgotten his.His leathery fingers,gnarled and twisted,appear like the roots of an ancient oak tree.Knuckles many times larger than they should be,are cracked and worn,weathered by both sun and time.His calloused feet,tucked and curled beneath him,bear the scars and broken bones of times when he forgot,crushed under foot and hoof.He has long lost count,it now hurts too much for him to walk.His only eye,it tells the story of his past,whispering tales about the years of joy he used to have,days so long gone they became legends to him,legends he no longer believes in.But legend

Seeking Your StarMarch 20, 2014Some stars burn so brightly, they burst before they see the cosmos unfold. You shared the warmth of your glow with as many as you could before you rose too high for the sky to handle and scattered sacred stardust across it. Your legacy is seen in constellations.A few days laterMom called me to the window today to show me a lone star in a cloudless sky. She said she thought of you.Mother's Day, 2014Nana told me at lunch today that she heard footsteps in the room where she keeps your urn. She went upstairs to greet Papa several times, thinking the footsteps were his, but found him sleeping. Our waitress gave each woman at our booth a carnation. Outside, sunlight adorned our skin and held us.I could have sworn I felt you holding us, too.June 21, 2014I took a plane out of Chicago to get back home. The sun set mid-flight, tie-dying the sky in orange and red. As we rose over the clouds, my jetlagged eyes rested upon a lone star pinned against

What I Lost"I lost a finger," Dolph proclaimed in a manner of startling, distant normality to his father, who had just ghosted by him into the kitchen to find something. His father paused like a clogged clock and spun suddenly on a hinge to see and confirm, and Dolph held up his hand to reveal his organic matter's metallic replacement. "It's just the pinky one." His father sluggishly pulled up a chair and printed sentences and fragments streamed from the printing compartment on his patchwork-junk face which Dolph had labored so fiercely to build and jumpstart over three years ago. Dolph reached for the receipt paper as it started to curl over and still it came in waves of questions and random echoing thoughts from his father's scattered processor. The processor was a work in progress still, and one which Dolph was hesitant to change, because unlike a brain it sometimes sputtered with the a

You Don't Have to be Wonder Woman...I think these walls are collapsing around me because I'm not smart. I don't think with my head, I think with my hands in terms of what I can make, what I can break, and how to put back together what was previously given up on.No, I don't always have a steady grip on reality and sometimes my abstract sight, the only one I can really see with, wavers and I'm blind to everything around me. So I feel my way through the thorns and the storms and put my friends in poetry so that way, when they leave, I can still say we're gonna be best friends forever.It won't really surprise any of you to know that I auditioned to be Wonder Woman. They told me I had great spirit but that cape was way too big and those boots were too tall and I just didn't have the look, you know, that superhero look. But I had great spirit! And if I just stuck around long enough, they were sure I could change the world.But even if that doesn't quite work out, even if the world is exactly the same fifty year
Ellie, chap. 1.Ellie, revisited. This is the story: a girl came and went with a train whistle, the galaxy broke, and somewhere between a decaying church and white walls, I fell in love. That is a mess. I know it's a mess, and that's really only the story, but that's not the truth. The truth of what happened is one big ball of near nothingness and half forgotten could-be-truths. I don't want to remember. I have to remember. This is not a love story. This is a story about a girl with black hair and cracked fingernails and these are words I have taken from her skin, words that haunt me and words that thrill me. But more than anything, these are words for her, the unbreakable shattered girl.* * * * It is May 25th, 5:56 a.m.; I watched sunrise with a pounding heart. The light spilled over the train ahead of me, the 6 a.m. Freight, and I felt that crack in the universe right between the sunlight and the dark, and part of m
Grandma"Is there something terribly wrong with me?"I sigh and look up from my book. In the evening light my grandmother stares back at me, utterly unaware that it's the third time she's asked in as many minutes. Complex maps of wrinkles frame her wide eyes, each crease charting the grief, joy and laughter of a lifetime she is slowly forgetting. I look at her and I remember the wit and spark that used to punctuate her speech. I remember the way she used to strike up a conversation with anyone, anywhere; how she'd find wonder in the simplicity of everyday life. Her curiosity, her sense of adventure, her love of the world and of all the people in it have been replaced by a child-like fear of the unfamiliar.I look at my grandmother and behind her old, tired eyes I see a young girl who has lost hold of her mother's hand in a world full of strangers."No, Grandma. There's nothing wrong with you at all."curtains shift –the faint glowof

Jay Cutler shows up to cheer on Kristin Cavallari on "Dancing With the Stars."
Updated: January 23, 2012 3:45AM
While Bears quarterback Jay Cutler and ex-fiancee Kristin Cavallari remain quiet about the current state of their relationship, sources behind the scenes at "Dancing With the Stars" say it sure looked like the couple are in the process of reviving their romance.
"You could tell from the body language — for both of them — plus the way they looked at each other," a "DWTS" staffer close to Cavallari said about Cutler's appearance in the audience Monday to cheer on his former fiancee, who was ousted from the show Tuesday. "There's still a lot of love there."
Another source close to the actress said the duo are "working on their issues. . . . I'm betting they will get back together. . . .
"Come on. You can't tell me that Jay would fly all the way to L.A. from Chicago — in the middle of the season and the week before a big game [against Detroit] on 'Monday Night Football' — just to give moral support to a mere friend," added the source. "Plus he knew he'd be on national TV. Of course, he wanted people to see him there. It was a signal, for sure."
SPLITSVILLE: While Cutler and Cavallari appear to be working on a reconciliation, another nigh-profile couple is kaput.
After Leonardo DiCaprio's five-month fling with Blake Lively — a romance the "Inception" star's pals thought finally would get him down the aisle — the couple have confirmed they have broken up. Their publicists issued the usual "they're still friends" statement to Us Weekly, but a longtime DiCaprio buddy told me Tuesday he was "stunned to learn the news. . . . I thought Blake was the girl. . . . He never seemed happier."
LUCKY TIMING: The Lifetime network timed it right weeks ago when it timed replays of the controversial Amanda Knox film (starring Hayden Panettiere) for this week, long before it was known Knox's legal appeals would be heard in Italy. Now Lifetime has added slates to the front and back ends of the film updating the case, including her release.
ON THE RECORD: Martha Stewart had fun on her self-named TV show Tuesday, laughing off suggestions she was upset about daughter Alexis Stewart's Whateverland: Learning to Live Here book.
Holding up the book, the country's most famous domestic doyenne said the so-called "Martha bashing" in the book was misinterpreted, because it all was done as a joke. She called her daughter's effort "hilarious and enlightening. . . . It's not an autobiography, let's get that straight right now."
FASHION FLASHES: It's too bad there weren't more women like customers of Lulu's at the Belle Kay on Lincoln Avenue, or "The Playboy Club" might not have been canceled. Lulu's shoppers have been snapping up tons of '60s vintage clothes, hats and jewelry — inspired by the Chicago-made NBC series, The wardrobe designer for "The Playboy Club" regularly popped in to pick up accessories and clothing for series star Laura Benanti.
† Chicago jewelry designer Sri Lakshmi is delighted Ryan Reynolds is yet another Hollywood star to become a fan of her Silver Parkes line of cufflinks. Lakshmi says the actor, currently filming "R.I.P.D." in Boston, told her the compass cufflinks are the first he's ever owned, admitting, "I have a lot of French cuff shirts, but I usually just borrow the cufflinks. Now I don't have to do that."

How much use would you get from a 1 gigabit internet connection?
Re:Answer doesn't really matter. (224 comments)
Comcast is 250Mb in Olathe, Kansas (Kansas City suburb) right now. They are getting ready to try for 1Gb, I understand. A friend of mine is getting the full 250Mb from them now down, but only 28Mb up (if "only" is the proper term). Here in KC, the other companies are really looking at Google as a threat and starting to test their next-gen stuff here.

November 28, 2014
Denver (AP) A federal judge has denied a request to suppress some statements made by an immigration agent accused of improperly giving information to a political campaign.
The judge ruled that Cory Voorhis' remarks to his supervisors could be used in a trial, even though Voorhis had initially invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination and refused to talk.
Voorhis testified in a hearing in Denver Federal Court he relented and talked to his bosses only because he feared he would be fired if he didn't.
But Judge John Kane said Voorhis' superiors never ordered him to waive his Fifth Amendment rights when they asked follow-up questions.
Voorhis is accused of giving information from a restricted federal crime database to the campaign of Republican Gubernatorial Candidate Bob Beauprez. Mesa County Commissioner Janet Rowland ran as Beauprez' Lt. Governor.
Beauprez, a former congressman, lost the election to Governor Bill Ritter, a Democrat.

Overdraft fees still hitting consumers when they least expect it
By STEPHANIE ZIMMERMANN firstname.lastname@example.com May 4, 2012 6:32PM
Updated: June 7, 2012 8:24AM
Dear Readers: The Fixer recently had a nice chat with Edward E., a longtime reader of this column who was in a real fix. A company he had never done business with somehow got hold of his debit card number and took $100 out of his account.
That would have been bad enough, but Edward's account was a bit low on money. When that incorrect $100 debit hit, it sent his account into the red and triggered a $40 overdraft fee from his bank.
While his bank quickly disputed the original $100 debit and put that money back into Edward's account, it balked at waiving the $40 overdraft fee. Only after Edward continued to complain did the bank finally agree to refund the fee. (Edward is giving it a couple days for the refund to appear, and if it doesn't he's calling in The Fixer.)
Though Edward was exceptionally unlucky, he is far from the only consumer still being hit with huge overdraft fees, even after a change in Federal Reserve rules in August 2010 made it harder for banks to charge these fees to consumers. A survey released last week by the Pew Charitable Trusts found that many consumers don't understand their rights and don't know how to avoid overdraft fees.
Before the change in the banking rules, banks were free to rearrange the order of pending transactions on a customer's account to cause the maximum number of "bounced" transactions and a huge number of fees. Team Fixer used to regularly hear from consumers who'd dipped into the red at the start of a long weekend and on Monday morning wound up with hundreds of dollars in overdraft penalties on relatively small transactions.
Now, banks can't charge you any overdraft fees unless you've opted in for overdraft protection. If you don't opt in, you might have an embarrassing denial of your debit card at the store, but you won't pay a fee.
The Pew report found that more than half of the people who got overdraft fees didn't believe they had opted in for overdraft coverage. And 75 percent of respondents said they'd rather have a transaction declined than pay an overdraft fee.
If you are unsure about whether you've opted in for these fees, now might be a good time to ask your bank. For the full report, go to pewtrusts.org.

COSTLY LESSON: Consumer's tale of woe
Michelle of Streamwood is not one to get ripped off while traveling, which is why she used an online "name-your-own-price" bidding service to make sure her hotel stay was within her budget.
"I thought I was getting a pretty good deal, but when I called the hotel to request a room with two double beds, they told me this was an upgrade and would cost extra," Michelle wrote The Fixer. "In addition, when I got there, I discovered an additional $15-per-day parking charge for my rental car."
Michelle says she never saw any disclosure about this when the price she offered was accepted. And when she complained to the online service, they refused to help.
They had little incentive, as her credit card was charged for the entire stay the moment she booked the room.

One of the more counterintuitive phenomena in the stock markets lately has been the monster rally amid deteriorating earnings growth expectations.
However, this trend may be turning.
According to Citi's Robert Buckland, analysts worldwide–on a net basis–have raised their earnings estimates for the first time in ten months. From Buckland's note to clients:
Positive Global EPS Revisions — Weekly global net analyst EPS revisions finally turned positive after 41 weeks of consecutive downgrades. If this trend is sustained, it will help support stock markets, in our view.
Major regions — Japan has been the strongest region WoW (+34%) followed by Continental Europe (+10%) and the UK (+3%). The US has been the weakest region last week (-13%) after being one of the strongest during the previous week. EM EPS revisions have improved, yet remain negative (-1% vs. -5% previous week).
The "Problem Child" — Earnings revisions for the companies at the epicentre of the current concerns, European Periphery and Continental European Financials, have stabilised. The European Periphery has seen positive revisions over the week (+10%) while ERI for Continental European Financials was at -14%.
If you look very carefully to the very far right, you'll see a tiny bar pointing north of zero.

Defending champions Shakey Byrne became the most winningest rider in British Championship history today, taking his 44th win after a red flag brought the race to a premature end at Thruxton.
Keith Farmer led away from the line after qualifying on the first lap, but normal service was soon resumed as Shakey Bryne soon took the lead, before former champion Ryuichi Kiyonari crashed and brought out the safety car.
The restart saw Shakey get away, chased by Loews, Ellison and Brookes. A huge moment by Farmer at the Complex saw him drop back to sixth behind Michael Rutter, making his 400th BSB start.
Byrne managed to make a break at the front while a major fight for second developed, with Loews, Ellison and Brookes scrapping hard, until the safety car was again brought out on the 8th lap of 20 when Lee Costello crashed.
The top four continued their fight, although with no major changes, until lap 13, when an accident involving Tommy Bridewell and Karl Harris brought out the red flags and prematurly ended the race.

Well done to Shakey, Ellison, Rutter, Walker etc but where are all the young winners? Good to still see the old boys doing well but we need young talent capable of winning races.

going to be boring if Shakey wins every race by a mile. dont get me wrong he`s brilliant, but needing someone else up ther with him, hope Ellison, Brookes, Lowes can keep up and make the racing interesting.

Safey Car / Crashes
I have to say, i think the organisers were over the top with the safety car being deployed, over the races. I think they could have moved the cashed bikes under yellow flags. Overall i think the racing was spoilt by this. Someone you can count on to crash however is bomber harris. Why does he still keep getting a ride? He is fast, but you'd be better on betting on what lap he will go down, rather than who will win!

IRB Women's Development Manager Su Carty talks about Impact Beyond WRWC 2014 and the projects already up and running in participating countries to capitalise on the momentum created by the tournament.
With the dust only settling on a record-breaking Women's Rugby World Cup 2014 in France, the International Rugby Board are eager to ensure that the tournament has a lasting legacy on the development of the game for women and girls in the participating unions and beyond.
A key element of that legacy will be the IRB's Impact Beyond programme, which is designed to inspire and enable more people around the world to participate and enjoy the game of Rugby and uses IRB tournaments as a catalyst for the growth of the Game.
Impact Beyond WRWC 2014 was therefore designed to drive the participation and profile of women and girls in participating unions, all 12 of whom were invited to complete the programme.
Nine projects are already up and running with others due to start projects in the months after the tournament which raised the bar to new heights in terms of record crowds, TV viewing figures and media coverage.
There were a number of initiatives ranging from Women's Rugby World Cup 2014 promotion in Paris to participation projects in South Africa and Ireland.
'Give it a Try!'
The Impact Beyond WRWC 2014 Conference was organised on the eve of the WRWC 2014 final between England and Canada, making the most of the opportunity to bring Union representatives together to discuss the development of the women's game and identify actions to ensure the momentum continues.
Our hosts, the Fédération Française de Rugby, presented their Impact Beyond project which centred around promoting the tournament in the centre of Paris at the Hotel de Ville ahead of the launch and start of WRWC 2014.
The Irish Rugby Football Union shared their project which targets increasing participation of girls under the age of 12 by developing a girls specific mini rugby programme as part of their 'Give it a Try' women's rugby programme.
New Zealand Rugby ran a tournament-based initiative engaging Pacific Islanders residing in New Zealand, which succeeded in bringing new players into the Game and highlighted benefits of a tournament approach run over four weeks to retain players, as opposed to a league over a number of months which may not be attractive to all girls wanting to play.
The stars of women's rugby are, and will continue to be, at the centre of the programme as they join events to lend a hand with coaching children, while also being ambassadors for the various projects across the Unions.
The one-day conference captured lots of activity kicking off in Unions as a result of Women's Rugby World Cup 2014 and also energised delegates to consider where further work is required.
Making the most of opportunities
Delegates discussed best practice around increasing participation and progressing participation pathways. The importance of introducing participation programmes like the IRB's Get Into Rugby as part of the Union strategy for women's rugby development was strongly emphasised.
Specifically targeting girls and introducing girls' specific programmes is proving effective in increasing participation in some Unions. Progressing participation pathways specific for girls, ensuring they can start and continue to play at levels appropriate for them regardless of age with avenues into coaching, refereeing and administration was discussed in depth and is crucial to further develop the Game.
The participating Unions were not the only ones attending the conference with the BBC's Sara Orchard, Alison Donnelly from women's rugby website scrumqueens.com, Nicolas Poncy and Julia Hutton from the FFR and RFU communications departments respectively.
They led a discussion on how to effectively promote the Women's Game. As well as sharing tips on how to share their messages and stories, they highlighted the importance of maximising the success of the World Cup.
They advised Unions to ensure they have a website in place that is kept up to date. They also emphasised the importance of utilising social media and encouraged delegates to build relationships with people who can help share their story and message.
The conference finished with a look ahead to the next Women's Rugby World Cup which will be held in 2017 with confirmation that the tender process timelines and qualification process will be advised by the end of the year.

Jacksonville ranked No. 1 city to start a business
Updated On: Mar 11 2014 12:38:01 PM EDT
Jacksonville is the best city in the country to start a business, according to WalletHub.com, a leading personal finance network online.
The website ranked the River City No. 1 out of 150 of the largest cities in the U.S.
WalletHub looked at several factors, all of which Jacksonville ranked high.
The report says Jacksonville has one of the highest business survival rates and one of the lowest corporate tax rates.
The city also has a significant disparity between the number of job openings and the number of people unemployed, which means new business owners would have a deep pool of potential employees.
Newark, N.J., ranked as the worst city on the list to start a business.
To look at the full list, go to WalletHub.com.

Zappos coughs to HUGE data breach
Online shoe and apparel outlet Zappos.com has apologised over a massive data breach that exposed the personal details of millions. Up to 24 million customers of the Amazon subsidiary may have been affected by the breach, which exposed names, email addresses, addresses, phone numbers, and password hashes. Zappos stressed that …
Clearly still much work for us to do in securing networks.
If every such organization seeds their databases with a small percentage of unique fictional but plausible customers, with credit card details also reserved for tracing, then a trail would lead back to those connected with the hacking, and the data would be much less valuable.
But of course, store the information about which are the seeds in a separate seriously encrypted database.
Re: Seeding
Prevention is much better than mitigation.
not mutually exclusive
Best is of course both prevention AND mitigation.
Why change passwords?
If it was storing password hashes - as the article says it was - why are users being advised to change those passwords on other systems?
Presumably the hashes were unsalted or the salt was also taken. Either way the attackers can create a rainbow table to determine the clear text password. A few years ago it would have been deemed impractical because of the processing power required, but not these days. You can build such a table in just a few minutes via Amazon's Web Services cluster and it will only cost a few dollars.
IF you don't reuse them then you don't have to...
Big if there, and with so many websites around most people use one or two (hopefully) strong passwords on a number of sites. If any of them are compromised and the hashes decrypted (Lets face it brute forcing passwords ALWAYS works by definition) you now have a username, email address and password (as well as other personally identifiable information) that you can use to compromise other accounts.
Random usernames, and passwords on all accounts for every web site you access are well beyond most mere mortals, but there are a number of devices and software solutions out there to do this, people just need to invest in something that works for them and start randomizing their passwords. Personally I like MyLOK from ii2p (www.mylok.com) but it's currently only available in the US due to export limitations on the technology. Just find what works for you and use it!
Good luck with that password reset
I requested a password reset over two hours ago and I'm still waiting for the confirming email.
Too late for security hire?
Amazing that this comes two weeks after Zappos posted this job offer:
Looks like they badly need one! Also, how does blocking international traffic help? It's a stupid move, any self-respecting script kiddie knows how to get around this by using proxies, while legitimate costumers from outside the US cannot get at the info, nor reset their password. Huge fail.

Oswego Animal Shelter
Our Pet List
. We are a small shelter with a small staff. Our facility is a quick holding place, but not meant for long term living. Animals are not in a home environment, but cages day in and day out. All of our animals deserve better lives than we can give in a shelter situation. "
Who We Are
We are a municipal Shelter and Animal Control office. We serve the City of Oswego and contract sheltering for surrounding townships. We work aggressively to place as many adoptable animals as possible in good, caring, and permanent homes. We are often times mistaken for other animals groups, but we are not affiliated with the Oswego County Humane Society, or the Animal Welfare League. We are law enforcement for the City of Oswego.
Adopting a Friend
To adopt a pet you must fill out an adoption application to be approved by staff. There is a 24 hour wait on all adoptions to give us a chance to review your application and give you a chance to think about the commitment of owning a pet. Adopted pets may not be given as gifts, out side of the household.The adoption fees vary dependent upon licensing fees and spay/neuter refunds.
Donations and volunteers are greatly appreciated! We are always happy to have gently used toys, blankets, towels, and of course food (canned and dry for dogs and cats)! Our volunteers are the greatest! The animals so enjoy having new faces to walk with, play with, and snuggle with! Experience with animals is preferred but not entirely necessary. Sorry, but all volunteers must be 18 years or older, please.
Come Visit Us!
Our office is open Monday through Friday from 7am,-3pm for animal/nuisance complaints, with animal viewing hours from 11am-3pm. Dogs are brought out to view individually, only staff is allowed in the kennel for your safety and the safety of our animals. Cats may be viewed guided by a staff member. We are closed on weekends and holidays. After hour appointments may be made with an APPROVED application only. Any interest in adopting from persons outside the local area or out of state, please contact the office by e-mail at email@example.com or by calling (315) 343-1803.
Directions from XX east or west:
We are located in the Port City of Oswego, on the shore of Lake Ontario. We are 45 minutes north of Syracuse. The shelter is one block north of State Route 104 on the east end of town.

This article describes the formula syntax and usage of the GROWTH function (function: A prewritten formula that takes a value or values, performs an operation, and returns a value or values. Use functions to simplify and shorten formulas on a worksheet, especially those that perform lengthy or complex calculations.) in Microsoft Excel.
Calculates predicted exponential growth by using existing data. GROWTH returns the y-values for a series of new x-values that you specify by using existing x-values and y-values. You can also use the GROWTH worksheet function to fit an exponential curve to existing x-values and y-values.
GROWTH(known_y's, [known_x's], [new_x's], [const])
The GROWTH function syntax has the following arguments (argument: A value that provides information to an action, an event, a method, a property, a function, or a procedure.):
The example may be easier to understand if you copy it to a blank worksheet.
How do I copy an example?
Selecting an example from Help
After you copy the example to a blank worksheet, you can adapt it to suit your needs.
This example uses the same data as the LOGEST example. The first formula shows corresponding values to the known values. The second formula predicts the next months values, if the exponential trend continues.
Note The formula in the example must be entered as an array formula. After copying the example to a blank worksheet, select the range C2:C7 or B9:B10 starting with the formula cell. Press F2, and then press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER. If the formula is not entered as an array formula, the single results are 32618.20377 and 320196.7184.

Tuesday, January 24th, 2006
Photographer Mati Kerpen and I were picked up by Staff Sergeant Joseph Moneymaker at 3:00 a.m. to go to the Richmond International Airport to be taken to Marine Corps Recruiting Depot on Parris Island, South Carolina.
SSgt Moneymaker actually arrived around 2:15 a.m., but waited patiently as Mati checked, and re-checked all the equipment from his self-made checklist needed for the shoot on Parris Island. We finally left around 3:30 a.m. Tuesday morning to go pick up Richard Lilly, a teacher at Charlottesville High School, also going on the trip to Parris Island.
We arrived at RIC around 5:00 a.m., and drove around -- in a marked government sports utility vehicle -- aimlessly looking for the proper parking at the airport. We finally pull up to the correct terminal, but to find most of the airport under construction. This caused a problem for parking, so we improvised. SSgt Moneymaker parked near the entrance to the terminal, but kindly mentioned to security he was on official business of the United States Marine Corps, and asked he not be towed because he would be returning shortly.
We all walk inside the airport to be greeted by U.S.M.C. representatives, and others taking part in the Educator's Workshop. We got our badges, and checked baggage to go on with the flight (Mati was a bit disappointed for an outrageous charge/fee for the case used to protect our equipment on the trip).
We board our flight from Richmond, and land at the Dulles International Airport, for our connecting flight to Savannah, Georgia. Time passes, and then we board the flight, and land in Savannah, GA. Once we land in Savannah, GA-- we (along with 81 educators from the Richmond, VA and Louisville, KY Marine Corps districts) pile onto a bus to be taken to a nice country club near the airport. I lost sense of time at this point, but we eventually get onto a schedule later.
We leave the country club, and make it to the hotel to check in. One problem though, somehow there were not enough rooms for us to have separate rooms as requested. Nonetheless, the awesome photographer did not settle, and we were granted separate rooms at a hotel across the street from where everyone else was staying. No problem for us since we had our own separate rooms.
Once we were checked in, we got onto the bus, and made our way to dinner at an Officer's Club on Parris Island.
Following dinner, Mati and I went to the yellow footprints, which is just outside of the doors at the building for receiving recruits. EVERY civilian east of the Mississippi River (with the exception of all females) hoping to earn the title of United States Marine, get off teh bus and onto teh footprints. We watched them come off the bus and take their first steps on the yellow footprints of Parris Island.
Wednesday, January 25th, 2006
We watched the educator's version of "Recieving" around 7:00a.m. It was really funny to see the teachers (including Richard Lilly from Charlottesville High School) get off the bus, and treated like real recruits. Some were nervous, scared, and jusy confused. If you could have seen their eyes-- would ould have thought they were really signed up for the U.S. Marine Corps Boot Camp.
Later that morning, we got to observe 'Grass Week' with real recruits. Grass week is the week prior to firing the M16-A2 service rifle, where recruits are taught the fundamentals of firing the weapon, and the correct firing positions.
We were able to see swim qualifications around 9:00a.m. on Wednesday, too. This was the part when recruits are taught the basics of combat water survival. Recruits who prove to be better swimmers can advance to a higher level of combat water survival.
We were also able to see the 'Known Distance Firing Course' around 10:00a.m. on Wednesday. This is the week after Grass Week when recruits apply what they where taught. All recruits MUST qualify on the rifle range because EVERY Marine is a rifleman no matter what their job is while in the Corps.
We were able to have lunch around 11:30a.m. Lunch ended at 12:00p.m.
Around 12:10p.m., we observed the 'Crucible' with recruits who were just days from graduation, and earning the title of United States Marine. Only female recruits were coming throug the woods at the time, and not much was going on since they were basically too tired, and just going through the motions of warfare. The 'Crucible' is the 54-hour culmination to the transformation of recxruit training. It is a physically and mentally challenging event that involves food abd sleep deprivation and the completion of various obstacles for the potential Marine to negotiate.
Around 2:00p.m., Mati and me got the opportunity to fire the M16-A2 service rifle. It was a blast for me to shoot it. Mati says he really enjoyed it. I believe we have video of him shooting it. He is left-handed, so the video may not him too well.

@Davidmcboyles Sadly there is a lot of truth in what you say sir, but there is some good stuff out there, and once in a while some of it finds its way not Speedhunters.
Stunning work all round. Thank you Mr Garrett. Are we going to see any features out of this shop visit?
Also: Mr Young, we are not worthy.
Favourite Speedhunters Volvo to date.
Love the wheels ("unique" or otherwise). Don't love the headlamps. My 10pence...
@Nate @MilesHayler Yeah, the '32 body shape when fenderless is just begging to be given fat front tyres and double wishbone suspension.
"Long hair" is all right with me!
I love the backdrops in these photographs Mr Chen... making almost every single image undateable. Brilliant. Especially the river swimming shots.
Yup! Finally :)
You killed it, sir. A great companion to Mr Garrett's piece on the Kanjo racers, too.
Brilliant article and... MINDBLOWING contents. Although i do agree with some of the reservations expressed below. For example, that Simon Cowell point is a strong one.
My own reservation: while i really admire the custom wheels ICON employ, my own ICON Thriftmaster '50 Chevy pickup would definitely be riding on Supremes :)
Picture 11, such a great image!
I really enjoyed this piece Mr Charvonia, thank you. Because I'm an ignorant Brit, please could you tell me what are the whorl-spoked wheels that seem to be on a lot of these cars?
Second-to-last car, the blue Plymouth, was my favourite.
'Course, for a true abundance of project cars the place to go is anywhere in Latin America. But not if you need 'em to be straight ;)
@TURISMO District 9 as well? Wow.
Love the car, maximum respect. Personally i'd agree with the fellow who said thru-the-bonnet gauges not necessary, but whatever…
Curious why he didn't go for a full welded-in cage while the car was on a rotisserie?
I agree with the sentiment that the world needs a healthy Jaguar, and for sure they have made great leaps recently. But still much too tame in my opinion. Compare this with the mind-blowing qualities of their fifties and sixties cars, race cars, sports cars, even saloons. Not the same league. It's as though they are trying to win over a new audience… but without losing their "retirement treat" market… Sorry chaps, you can't have it both ways.
Having said that, not bad, not bad at all. But those wheels tho! OEMs and their awful wheel designs, gawd love 'em :(
Definite improvement over stock. Although that's not saying a whole lot IMO.
@JMax Paint Garage LLC Well put.
@Jake Laird @neffgordon ha ha ha?
@midgeman @D1RGE EXE @fcdsNA Sad but somewhat true. Nice wheels, outstanding photos, infomercial.
Also (I wasn't going to mention it if these comments hadn't struck a chord) but the Goldrush Rally thing is just whack. Voyeuring a bunch of superannuated trustfund party boys "rallying" their nouveaux-rice lambos complete with trophy-model girlfriends… so wack :(
Sorry guys, i hate to hate, but i had to say something.
Is it me, or is rake back? I hope so. And crikey, that XJ6 coupe.
@Diego They seem to have been given out to the winners, gold, sliver & bronze. Nice!
Raked e21, so gangster.
Almost enough to make me like Audis. Almost.
@Jonathan Moore @whitehatchback @milkplus @Purplehatchback Agreed. I'd like to hear these comments delivered as a battle rap using the tune from the vid as a backing track. "Two of a kind, man and machine, together what a team..." Can that be arranged?
…and i still haven't fully assimilated that fact that they design and build their own engines from scratch!
now where can i get me a set of in-wheel electric motors to convert my e36 touring to AWD EV spec?
Anybody know why the owner of that cool "japanese" Porsche would have blocked up the air intakes front and rear?
e36, natch.
@Kirk_B @Jonathan Moore @milkplus Durrr
I've always had a secret liking for this platform… so yes please.
I LOVE THIS KIT. It takes the FD from one of my least-favourite Japanese icon cars to one of my most favourite. Spot on.
Mr Whiddett, sir, i know you won't... but please don't apply your livery and leave your car in natural black FRP and carbon fibre.
Ok… here i go.
It's not my cup of tea, but i have ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEM with this car. What i have a problem with is all this BMW hate going down on Speedhunters :(
First we have the editor-in-chief describing two drop dead gorgeous e36 coupes as "jokes" (and quoting the cars' own creators as saying they were "shitty BMWs"). Ok so they were not fully built up mechanically, but they were only started a few weeks ago... give 'em a chance!
Now we have the esteemed Mr D C trumpeting a car because it "looks like an e46, drives like a Silvia" as though that were a really good thing. While i repeat i have no problem with this particular car, personally i'd rather have an e46 that drove like an e46.
Amongst mainstream manufacturers, dollar for dollar, car type for car type, spec level for spec level, BMW make the best-handling cars out there and have done for GENERATIONS.
Take a look at Formula D. Ok so drifting isn't necessarily the be all and end all of driving, and Formula D isn't necessarily the be all and end all of drifting… but it makes for a useful comparison. The reigning champion's car is an e46 (with the same base engine model it came from the factory with - how many other competitive Formula Drift cars could you say that about?)... and there are currently zero s15 entered in the series. As for s-chassis generally: for all the tens if not hundreds of s-chassis cars that have been campaigned in the series over the years, an s-chassis has only ever won it once.
Ok… rant over. At the end of the day, although i am a "BMW guy" (well, duh) i like any and all cool cars, including s-chassis. But why bash on the Bavarians, Speedhunters?
I know looks aren't really the point with a Caterham (or any other 7-based car) and i get that. But i wish they would do something about the rear 'guards so they didn't look so tractorish. 'Cos it's potentially a really cool-looking car on top of being a driving phenomenon.
"Cut and shredded – just like the hearts of commenters all across the internet" ha ha ha! Also "bitchin' Citroen" ha ha ha. Excellent work, sir.
Oh, and thanks to those couple of photos, i now finally 'get' the 458 (be it the LB Works version or not). Thanks.
Picture 3, wow.
Errr… if you're in Hawaii, Japan is to the west :)
don't think i ever voted for a honda before…
@InnerToxicity Not sure if you're being entirely serious or not sir, but either way… i like it :)
All this talk about engine diversity, let's not forget about chassis diversity.
Hang on a sec - he designed and built the engine himself from scratch??????????????????????
Nuts… in every sense.
@KeithCharvonia @tenpennyjimmy Thank you but i'm not a paper clip fan. If you have any black powder coated size m56 staples knocking around i'd take 'em off your hands tho.
As long as they are up to your normal amazing standards of craftsmanship & detail, naturally :)
I dig the base car - it may be the only current Audi i could say that about - and i dig the simple approach. But i'm sorry, Speedhunters, you're just not taking me with you on this Vossen trip of yours. Hate to be a negative nancy... but there it is :(
Okay, real mature, Mr Garrett!
Another killer selection, sir. OVERFENDERS ON EVERYTHING!!! I ain't complainin'. Also: Priuses (Prii?) rock. But i've got to go with the Supra as my favourite - those wheels. And is that a colour change to black on the rear end? Clever.
What're you gonna do with all those black paperclips?
@alex jonson @RinaldiGulinao I've watched it a load of times now - i think he's actually made an error-then-recoverry in that last corner?
@alex jonson @RinaldiGulinao I've not had the pleasure of driving one, but it would surprise me if the NSX-R was set up for understeer? Definite blipping followed by sideways at 2:00 tho...

|Official Title ICMJE
|A Multi-Center Biologic Assignment Trial Comparing Reduced Intensity Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplant to Hypomethylating Therapy or Best Supportive Care in Patients Aged 50-75 w/Intermediate-2 & High Risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome Blood and Marrow Transplant Clinical Trials Network #1102)
|Brief Summary
This study is designed as a multicenter trial, with biological assignment to one of two study arms; Arm 1: Reduced intensity conditioning allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (RIC-alloHCT), Arm 2: Non-Transplant Therapy/Best Supportive Care.
|Detailed Description
Background: MDS is a clonal disorder of hematopoietic precursors and stem cells, which may evolve to a terminal phase resembling acute leukemia. A subject of clinical urgency for researchers, clinicians, patients, and health care underwriters such as Medicare, is the role of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT) in the treatment of older patients with higher risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). The use of reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) regimens has extended HCT to the care of older patients with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) and lymphoma and a number of retrospective and phase II trials for patients with MDS now show the curative potential of RIC alloHCT in selected patients.
This protocol is designed evaluate the relative benefits of RIC alloHCT compared to non-transplant therapies focusing on overall survival. This will be done by having patients biologically assigned to the alloHCT arm or the hypomethylating therapy/best supportive care arm and following them for survival at 3 years.
|Study Type ICMJE
|Study Design ICMJE
|Observational Model: Cohort
Time Perspective: Prospective

|Retention: Samples With DNA
Patient peripheral blood and buccal swab samples will be collected at enrollment. Peripheral blood (and bone marrow samples if available) will also be collected from patients assigned to the HCT arm who experience relapse at the time of relapse and stored to support future research studies. If available, bone marrow will be collected pre-transplant for the patients assigned to the HCT arm.
|Sampling Method
