The Ears of America
The Puzzle Palace: A Report on America's Most Secret Agency
"Brute force" is a phrase which turns up often in James Bamford's useful investigation of the National Security Agency, the largest but least known of American intelligence services. As used by NSA officials, "brute force" refers to the method of last resort in cracking secret codes. The best method is to obtain the key to the code by stealing it, buying it, or figuring it out, but that is often impossible. A "brute force" attack simply tries out all the possible keys to a code identified through intercepted messages.
These possibilities can be very numerous. A commercial cipher with a fifty-six-bit key devised by IBM in the mid-1970s, for example, would present an inquisitive outsider with about seventy quadrillion possibilities. Large as that number is, a computer could be built with speed and capacity enough to try out every last one of them in less than a day. This helps to explain why the NSA's headquarters at Fort Meade, Maryland, is the computer capital of the world. Lt. Gen. Marshall S. Carter, director of the NSA (DIRNSA) for just over four years between 1965 and 1969, told Bamford he was in charge of five and a half acres of computers. Another NSA official told him that computer acreage is now about double what it was in Carter's day.
It is the scale of the NSA that impresses. According to Bamford, the NSA's main building at Fort Meade contains about 1.9 million square feet of floor space, roughly equal to the CIA's headquarters in Langley, Virginia, and the Capitol building in Washington combined. It has employed as many as 95,000 people, classifies 50 million to 100 million documents a year, produces 40 tons of classified waste per day, has up to $1 billion in contracts out at any given time, and has an annual budget of perhaps $10 billion.
Making, breaking, and protecting codes is only part of the work conducted by this vast establishment, and the smaller part at that. The larger part is collecting and analysing COMINT, SIGINT, and ELINT. COMINT and SIGINT are communications and signals intelligence—messages of every conceivable type, from ordinary commercial cables to Soviet naval communications to ships at sea. When the Soviet space capsule Soyuz I ran into trouble during reentry in April 1967, technicians at an NSA listening station in Turkey taped the whole awful event, from the first discussion of problems with the parachute through the cosmonaut's final farewell to his wife and a terminal scream when the capsule burned up as it plunged into the earth's atmosphere. Also included under the general heading of SIGINT are radio transmissions of a technical nature such as radar or telemetry broadcast by Soviet missiles during test flights, the principal source of American intelligence about the performance of Soviet strategic weapons. ELINT is electronics intelligence, defined as electromagnetic radiators with a non-atomic origin. (HUMINT—human intelligence collected by traditional espionage—is the province of the CIA.)
The size of the NSA budget is partly explained by the huge technical apparatus required to collect so many radio transmissions of so many different types. Here, too, the approach is one of brute force. The NSA attempts to collect all Soviet transmissions—the full daily broadcast of every conventional radio station in all the Soviet republics, every transmission to every Soviet embassy abroad, every broadcast to a ship at sea, every transmission by military units on maneuvers in Eastern Europe, the radio traffic of every control tower at Soviet airports, the radar signature of every Soviet system. (If B-52s or a new bomber are to penetrate Soviet air space in the event of war, for example, they have got to know where Soviet air defenses are located. The NSA helps to provide the maps.)
Even when the transmissions can't be read, which is often the case, the volume of traffic itself is analysed for whatever it might reveal Shortly before the Berlin Wall was built in 1961, it is said, the sheer number of radio messages and the level of the codes in which they were encrypted should have indicated that something was up. In August 1968 Soviet military units on the periphery of Czechoslovakia were "lost" for several days. Apparently this was achieved by sophisticated jamming which disguised actual Soviet military radio traffic. Richard Helms, then the director of Central Intelligence and nominally in charge of the NSA, confessed to the President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board that he was much embarrassed by the failure, but assured them the intelligence community would have done better if the Soviets had been heading West.
Monitoring Soviet radio transmissions is only half the work. Since it's always possible that a code might be cracked in future, the unread transmissions—all the unread transmissions—are stored, more or less forever, on magnetic tape.
The National Security Agency was established by President Truman—secretly: its official charter has never been made public—in the fall of 1952, but its true origins go back to the First World War when a State Department code clerk, Herbert O. Yardley, tried his hand at a secret message addressed to Woodrow Wilson in May 1916. He solved it within a couple of hours and immediately concluded that the British, who controlled the eastern terminal of transatlantic cables to North America, were reading the US government's most secret diplomatic traffic. When the United States entered the war Yardley transferred to the military, founded a Code and Cipher Solution Subsection in the office devoted to military intelligence, and at the war's end was arranging liaison with the French Chambre noire, or "black chamber," a name Yardley borrowed when he was appointed to head a permanent code-breaking office in the War Department in 1919.
Yardley's initial budget was $100,000, with which he hired a staff of fifty at salaries ranging from $1,200 per year for clerks up to $3,000 for senior code breakers. But the end of the war presented Yardley with two major problems. The first was the end of official censorship, which meant he no longer had automatic access to international cable traffic. Indeed, it was now against federal law to intercept messages, but Yardley quietly arranged with the management of Western Union and Postal Telegraph, the two major international carriers, for the Black Chamber to temporarily "borrow" messages. The two companies agreed to this illegal arrangement in the interest of national security, a precedent that was to be enduring.
Yardley's major coup during this period was cracking the Japanese diplomatic code, which allowed the US to read Tokyo's fallback position during the negotiations in 1921 to establish a fixed ratio of capital ships among the navies of Britain, the United States, and Japan. Knowing that Japanese negotiators had been instructed to accept the 10 to 6 ratio pressed by Britain and the United States, the Western team simply sat tight until the Japanese gave in.
But this was the high point of the Black Chamber and of Yardley's career as well. His second major problem in the immediate years after World War I—indifference at high levels—was never overcome. It is war and the threat of war that turn a government's thoughts to espionage. The Black Chamber's budget was gradually reduced to $25,000 a year, most of it provided by the State Department. When Herbert Hoover's secretary of state, Henry L. Stimson, took office in March 1929, Yardley hesitated to brief him on the Black Chamber's work. When he finally did so a few months later, Stimson was appalled by the whole undertaking and ordered it to cease immediately with words about as close to immortal as any ever uttered by an American statesman: "Gentlemen do not read each other's mail."
But the end of the Black Chamber and Yardley's departure from government did not end American code-breaking efforts. The War Department established a Signal Intelligence Service in 1930 which limped along on tiny budgets (never more than $17,400) until 1937, when the obvious approach of war brought high-level interest and funds to match. By September 1939 the staff of the SIS had grown from seven to nineteen. By December 7, 1941, it had reached 331. (The SIS had even cracked the new Japanese diplomatic code, called "Purple," and had intercepted a message that indicated war was near, but a comedy of errors delayed a warning to the US commander in Hawaii until several hours after the attack on Pearl Harbor had begun.)
By the war's end the SIS staff exceeded 10,000 and its official duties had vastly expanded to include the collection and analysis of all sorts of communications and signals intelligence. In 1949 the various communications intelligence branches were combined and named the Armed Forces Security Agency; three years later—largely as the result of high-level dissatisfaction with the AFSA's performance during the Korean War, as well as weariness with the service rivalries which drove the White House half crazy during the postwar years—the entire process of reorganization was repeated. In its present form the National Security Agency not only is bigger than the postal, telephone, and telegraph services (known as PT&Ts) of most major nations, but it draws heavily on the services of the Army, the Navy, and the Air Force as well.
James Bamford has assembled all that was known, and much that was unknown, in his history of the NSA, but the result does not make for light reading. The chapter about Yardley and a handful of stories scattered throughout the rest of the text provide the only narrative. For the rest, his book reads like a study of AT&T, with methodical lists of its directors and deputy directors, the divisions and subdivisions of the NSA, and the listening stations of various kinds scattered about the world. A great many officials are identified by name and job title. Much hardware is paraded across the page, from elaborate computer retrieval systems to giant dish antennae. Much of this material is new, gleaned from 6,000 pages of NSA newsletters and Justice Department documents that Bamford obtained under the Freedom of Information Act (and which the government, a year ago, attempted to retrieve with the claim they had been released in error). Bamford has also conducted several revealing interviews, especially with General Carter and Francis Raven, formerly in charge of reading Soviet and, later, third-world communications traffic.
Bamford deserves special praise for largely avoiding the mocking, ironic, superior tone adopted by many journalists when writing about the intelligence and defense communities. These virtues add up to a considerable achievement. But that should not obscure the fact that the secrecy surrounding the NSA is still largely intact. Bamford has mapped the landscape, much as David Wise and Thomas B. Ross did in 1965 with their similar trail-breaking study of the CIA, The Invisible Government. Future researchers will owe Bamford a considerable debt, but they will also have plenty to do.

The Sweettt Podcast – Episode 11 – Information Flow (Part II)
I haven't been very successful today trying to join the superb 24 hour online event from Corporate Learning Trends and Innovation on "Conversations about Learning in Organisations" that I blogged about yesterday. It looks like Elluminate doesn't get along well with my Mac apparently, since it keeps crashing consistently ever single time I try to access the online event (And I don't seem to be the only one either!); so I guess I will have to try again tomorrow and, if that doesn't work still, I suppose I will be catching up with the various recordings that will be made available at a later time.
Moving onwards then!
Yes, folks, it is that time again! The Sweettt Podcast moves on further along and I am happy to bring you over here our next episode (Episode 11), where both Matt Simpson, my good friend and co-host, and yours truly spent a few minutes talking some more around the topic of Information Flow (Part II). You can download or play the podcasting episode from this location. And here are some show notes of what you may expect from listening to it that Matt already mentioned in the corresponding blog post:
- "What is more important, quality or quantity?
- Who you are in your blog is very different than who you are in a microblog.
- What constitutes a valid blog? Can a blog be trivial?
- When does your Twitter become a village? – See Laura Fitton
- How do you enter a online social village and navigate its streets?
- To achieve flow in the information space, how do you sample information?
- What is the alternative to managing content within the information space?
- How do you choose which new technology to use in the information sharing space?
- What kind of people try technology first? What does a bleeding edge early adopter look like? See Chris Miller
- How do you keep track of your new technology?
- What's the ideal amount of technology for the majority of us?
- Which is the predominant future trend, increased technology fragmentation with more tools, or consolidation of technology into fewer tools?
- If services become specialized and exploited in other contexts (other web sites), what will be the incentive for the service to be provided, especially if people are not going to the homepage?"
And, of course, you will notice as well how we spent some time as well talking about living "A World Without Email" and our growing need to diversify our email inboxes; to fragment them so that it does fit a specific purpose versus all purposes, which is what is happening at the moment. Some fascinating conversations, indeed, which developed into other areas we will be exploring in future podcasting episodes.
Oh, yes, it is good to be back! Hope you enjoy the episode, just as much as we did

Traditional Knowledge Management Systems – Adapt or Die
If you have been following this blog for a while, you would know how my professional background comes from various different areas associated for quite some time now with Knowledge Management, in particular, traditional Knowledge Management: Collaboration, Community Building, Learning, etc. Yes, I am one of those folks who eventually worked for several different projects, throughout the years, dealing with deploying successfully specific KM and community building programs for various business units.
One of them, perhaps one of the most powerful and traditional ones, was IBM's Global Business Services' Learning and Knowledge. At the time with one of the most impressive KM Systems in place to date. One of those resources considered an essential KM tool for every single practitioner to work with: KnowledgeView. Then towards end of 2005 a relatively new concept came about: Web 2.0. Social Software. Social Computing. A radical change in how things were operating at the moment. Disruptive enough to pay attention to it. Essential to adapt or die in the attempt. And a couple of years later, Practitioner Portal was born.
That's a summary of how traditionally powerful Knowledge Management Systems need to be ready to adapt or die with the emergence of Enterprise 2.0 (Yes, I know it may sound a bit too drastic, but you get the idea of what I am after with that expression); how they need to come to terms with the fact they are no longer in control (They never were for that matter!) of how knowledge flows within the organisation; how they should start realising they need to make it much easier sharing knowledge and experiences across amongst knowledge workers, making it much more participative and engaging that whatever has been happening in the past; how in the end complex fixed taxonomies and processes, as well as a rather cumbersome set of KM tools to use extensively, is not going to go very far. Specially in the current business environment we are working in, where more and more social computing is taking over the corporate world by storm.
Yes, indeed, for those traditional KMS to survive it would be about time now to start figuring out how they would want to get the most out of this next next wave of interactions to improve collaboration, both inside and outside of the firewall. Thus Knowledge Sharing is born. Does it ring a bell? Probably not. But if I tell you to go and have a look into Bryant Clevenger's article at KM Edge titled "Web 2.0: Changing How Value Is Created and Measured at IBM" the story would be different,
Bryant, global leader for the IBM Global Business Services knowledge sharing strategy, used to be my manager (Then became my manager's manager) at the time when that transition into the social computing world was just getting started for that particular business unit as well as for KnowledgeView. For the rest of the story I would like to point you to Bryant's post, because it is very indicative of how things got started and where they ended up just recently. The Practitioner Portal itself.
Here is an interesting quote from Bryant's entry that I thought would be worth while mentioning over here to give you a taster of what that transformation has been like:
"[…] we undertook a massive overhaul of the technology and approach we use for knowledge management, moving from a centrally managed, linear, taxonomy- and repository-based system to one that leverages the best of Web 2.0, including social software, user participation, and key market-driven concepts like sponsored links. We see this as a shift from "knowledge management" to "knowledge sharing.""
Impressive, don't you think? Well, it gets better. Bryant will eventually be keynoting on this very same transformation, and plenty more!, at the upcoming APQC Knowledge Management conference event in Houston by mid May. But to get things going and share some further context on what you may potentially find out at the event, here is a YouTube video that he has shared that provides a lot more background on what that change management process was like:
I know that plenty of folks out there may be wondering right now whether KM is dead or not; specially traditional KM. Perhaps it is; perhaps it is not. Maybe it is morphing into something else. Something we have failed to name it yet (Knowledge Management is quite an oxymoron, don't you think?), but that's already started with the process of adapting itself to the new rules of engagement in the Enterprise 2.0 world, because I seriously doubt it would want to go away just like that after all of these years. I eventually think that it will adapt successfully and move on. And the example of IBM's GBS Practitioner Portal, as you may have been able to see, is just one of those to which you could apply quite nicely the following quote from the always insightful Charles Darwin:
"It is not the strong, nor the intelligent who survive, but those who are quickest to adapt"
So is your traditional Knowledge Management System ready for such unprecedented transition? Are you ready for such a massive transformation of your business? Is your KMS ready to adapt or die in the attempt?

A World Without Email – Year 2, Week 9 (How to Kill E-mail, Before It Kills You)
Last week I mentioned in Twitter how during the course of the week I'd be putting together a rather compelling and thought-provoking entry where I would detail how folks could kill over 85% of the incoming e-mails they get on a daily basis. Yet, in the end, I didn't manage to publish it, more than anything else, because, at a certain point, I got carried away and added some additional materials into the mix. And thus the draft needs further editing. This week though, that post will go up and I am surely hoping it would help folks find their way to, finally, move away from corporate email.
But today I am going to go back and share with you folks further insights on the weekly progress reports from my daily living "A World Without Email", plus a couple of interesting links I have bumped into over the last few days. You would remember how last week I was a bit concerned at the prospect of seeing the highest number of incoming emails per week since the beginning of the year and I was surely hoping that things would tame themselves a bit. And they surely have. I am not certain whether it was down to the progress report related post I put together or to the upcoming long holiday break. The end result is that the numbers got substantially lower for Week 9, as can be seen from the following snapshot:
Yes, I know, not close enough to that follow up target of 20 emails a week or less, but with 26, coming from a whopping 47!, I guess we are back in track again with things, don't you think? Specially noteworthy is how Monday last week seemed to have been a rather hectic day and I supposed that was mainly due to folks preparing for a long holiday break taking place on Thursday and Friday, where the incoming count went really low. Thus I would suspect things will be different for week 10… And they are, but that'd would be the subject for another blog post at a later time.
Let's move on now into the interesting couple of links I bumped into in the last few days, which I am sure folks out there are going to find interesting and somewhat humourous, at least, one of them.
Head over to PCWorld's "What Your Webmail Choice Reveals About You" where you will be able to see for yourself how, depending on which Web mail system you may be using at the moment, you would be flagged one way or another. Rather amusing read, to be honest, specially the end of it with this precious gem shared across under No E-mail Account:
"Typical user: You are in your late teens or early 20s and you equate sending e-mails with using a fax machine, watching broadcast TV or buying CDs — lame. You text and/or IM, and that's it. TTYL"
Well, not quite just yet, but getting there …
Check though this other much more provocative and mind-boggling article published by Mike Elgan over at Computerworld under the title "How to kill e-mail (before it kills you)" where he gets to describe some of the most comprehensive and compelling reasons I have read in a long while on why e-mail is perhaps not the best of communication / collaboration tools we have at the moment. And why now is probably the perfect time to re-think how we make extensive use of it. Or not. Here are a couple of interesting and relevant quotes towards living "A World Without Email":
"E-mail has become a pandemic social disease. The more you get, the more you send. And the more you send, the more you get."
Or this other one:
"What's wrong with e-mail? In a nutshell, the medium is perfectly designed for information overload. Both message size and quantity are essentially unlimited. Unfortunately, electronic communication is like a gas: It expands to fill its container."
Or this other one, incredibly insightful and very much along the lines of what I have been saying myself all along on the power of the spoken vs. the written word:
"E-mail has always suffered from another flaw: It facilitates miscommunication. When you're typing out words, you're thinking one thing, but the receiver can perceive your intent as something else. You're being funny. They perceive hostile. The reason is that humans are designed to communicate with words, facial expressions, body language and hand gestures all together. When you send only cold, black-and-white words, the other person can easily read into your message inaccurate intent or emotional content."
You can go and read further on the article by going over here. I can surely state it would be worth while your time. Not only because Mike keeps addressing some of the main issues e-mail is suffering from for a while now, but also from the perspective that he ventures into providing some sound advice on how to diversify your Inbox and bring into the mix an alternative set of tools to help you manage your time, and your email interruptions, in a much more productive manner:
- Set up a Twitter account
- Set up a "public" e-mail account as a data repository
- Set up a "secret" e-mail account for content
- Set up a Facebook account
- Set up a Skype account and get a webcam
I know most of us have made extensive use of these tools, but throughout the commentary from that article you would be able to see how most people are skeptical that such a system could work, more than anything else because of a number of issues people have identified with applications like Facebook or Twitter. But, to me the important and relevant question would be, what happens when you implement such a system behind the firewall with real Enterprise Social Software?
That is, when you have applications like Facebook, Twitter or Skype directly available behind the firewall, with whatever other name and with the same kind of quality and service as other traditional tools you are used to. Is the skepticism still realistic? Are people's comments on Mike's article consistent enough? Does it sound like a chimera as much as initially thought? Or is it something that could be put to the test and see if it would meet your needs and, eventually, help you make your final move away from corporate email?
Well, stay tuned, because that is exactly what I am going to cover in that upcoming blog post I started this entry with; you will see how it's a lot easier than whatever you may have thought thus far …

Olivia's rattled after Cyrus shows up, and she finally lets Jake in. Over wine they have a cute "I tell you something, you tell me something" conversation and they catch each other up. For the most part it's brutally honest, right up to the point where Jake asks about the nature of her relationship with the President. Liv knows how to shut a guy up though. Kiss him and lie.
Back at the house of often ignored discontent, James is so happy about his fancy new job (and fancy new suit options) that he forgives Cyrus and invites him back into their bed. They make out. It's a pretty great scene, and one of the few where we get to see Cyrus's vulnerability and weakness around the man he loves. Unfortunately, things are only devolving at the White House. Cyrus spots the media vans outside of the Blair house and begs Fitz to make things right with Mellie.
But at the moment of truth, 22 minutes before Mellie's 36-hour warning runs out, Fitz goes to Olivia's apartment. This is him earning her. This is Fitz making a choice. Finally. It's sweet, mellow, and exactly the gesture that he needed to make to Olivia to get her to even consider being back with him. But I wonder if he really considered the possibility of Mellie going through with what she threatened. Because oh boy, does she make good on her promise, with a blind-sighted James leading the interview. And things were just starting to look up for Cyrus and James! While all this is going on, Olivia and Fitz are making up for lost time. In the shower, on the bed...anywhere with a surface. And she looks happy for the first time in a really long time!
Meanwhile, the Gladiators deduce that Cyrus is probably not the mole. He was just trying to make sure that Defiance was erased from history. But I feel like this can't be the whole story. I believe that in this week's episode, Cyrus was just trying to get Olivia alone to talk to her about leaving. He probably thought that was a valid option because she'd told him earlier in the episode in no uncertain terms that she was done with Fitz. But he did go about that in a very creepy way, didn't he? Also, Cyrus and Olivia usually talk on the phone. Why wouldn't he have just called her? And also, what was Charlie doing in the hospital? Was he just spying for Cyrus? Was it Cyrus he was talking to? So many questions, Scandal!
Finally, Jake, worried about what Cyrus knows about him, asks MPBM if he can "engage" with any threats. MPBM gives him a stern, "don't kill anyone" warning. And when watching the footage of him and Olivia making out in his apartment, Jake spots another thing on his security feed: Charlie watching that same footage. So Charlie and Cyrus do have hard proof about Olivia and Jake. Who do you think is more at danger here?
Scandalites, let's talk about this! What do you think James was feeling when Mellie started confessing? Did you think Fitz's gesture was enough? And then there's Cyrus. What is going on with him? Was he out to hurt Olivia? Are we getting the full story with him? Any more Albatross speculations? Did anyone laugh when David Rosen seemed adorably clueless about the President's affair? Who would you all vote MVP for this week? Talk to us!

Crossbill Feeding Technique
In this video from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, learn how a Crossbill uses its unique bill it extract hidden seeds.
I first came across this wonderful video from one of the people I follow on Twitter, Dick Cannings. He said:
The particular bird featured in the video is known as the White-winged Crossbill in North America. Although in Europe, it is referred to as the Two-barred Crossbill because of the two white bars on the birds wings. Out of all the birds in the world, this is just one of only five species that have these crossed bills.
Bird Diva also posted this video to her Tumblelog and wrote:
Cornell does a great job of capturing how the bill works, slowing down the video and zooming in.
I completely agree, they did a fantastic job! You can even see the little husks from the seeds being discarded away.
Nature is amazing!

When people would ask Jillian Suarez how her dad died, she would lie. He had a heart attack, she'd say.
The truth — that her father, Ramon Suarez, a career police officer with the NYPD, died while saving others during the 9/11 attacks — was just too much to bear.
But Jillian, who lives in Glendale and is just a few days shy of her 19th birthday, has been working hard to come out of her shell and talk about her feelings.
It started when her mother Carmen saw that WNYC, the public radio station, was calling on young people affected by 9/11 to submit their stories for a special series of 10th anniversary broadcasts as part of its "Radio Rookies" program. Carmen put her daughter's name forward.
"I didn't know I was doing it," Jillian said of her being chosen as one of six young people by the radio station.
"My mom planned it without telling me."
The two women sat side by side at WNYC's office in downtown Manhattan with Sanda Htyte, a Radio Rookies associate producer who worked closely with Jillian to help tell her story through audio.
Both Htyte and Carmen talked about how difficult it has always been for Jillian to discuss her father's death. Once a medal-winning relay racer, Jillian stopped running after her father died, Carmen said. He had loved the sport.
"They were very close," Carmen said of her daughter and husband.
After producing the five-minute segment, in which Jillian interviews her mother and talks about her father — "my best friend," she calls him in the piece — Jillian said she felt better.
In fact, this girl who once hid the details of her father's death recently got a tattoo, just a few days before her audio story aired, commemorating his life. She'd been thinking about getting it for a year.
The twin towers rising above a cityscape sit perched on her left shoulder, the word "Daddy" etched underneath.
"You're one of the few people I know that have a tattoo that really means something," Jillian said her friends have told her. Now when people on the street ask her about the tattoo, she tells them about her dad.
Despite the strides forward, recovering from the loss is a long process. Both women seemed to think they might never fully "heal."
"You can't move on from something that comes up in your life 24/7," Jillian said. Whether it's been one year or 10, she added, makes no real difference.
Jillian's 19th birthday is on Sept. 9, which has made her last nine birthdays extremely hard.
The hardest part about interviewing her mother, Jillian said, was knowing she was going to cry. Her mom and dad were married in 1999 after being together for 10 years.
"I could have never asked for a better husband," Carmen said of Ramon, who is buried at St. Raymond's Cemetery in the Bronx. "He was a great father."
This coming week, both women said, would be difficult, but they would get through it.
Jillian has just begun her sophomore year as a transfer student at Queensborough Community College, where she hopes to graduate with a degree in social services.
"I want to be able to help people," she said. "I know people go through a lot."
To hear Jillian's story and those of the five other "rookies," visit wnyc.org/shows/rookies/2011. All six stories will be broadcast on Saturday, Sept. 10.

Grades have no direct impact on the overall score.
Outdoor JP is where you'll find cute and sexy Japanese girls getting down and dirty in outdoor settings. Think the same great bukkake, blowjob, solo and sex scenes, but all taking place in pools, near lakes, public restrooms, park benches, beaches and more. A specially reduced $19.95 per month gives access to the complete archive of close to 500 videos with new scenes coming in often. Bonus, Outdoor JP is a part of the All Japanese Pass Network of sites, which are included with your membership here as well.
Hardcore Sex Scenes Featuring Japanes Girls in Office Settings.
Who knows where this content comes from, but basically Outdoor JP is offering close to 500 video scenes of young Japanese girls in outdoor settings giving blowjobs, masturbating, and having sex. Most scenes stick to the theme, and when they do I assure you these are some of the kinkiest outdoor sex scenes you'll find.
Some Nice Viewing Options.
Flash streams are offered in multiple quality formats. They load quick and look nice. Downloads are available in just MP4 format but with 3 quality settings and overall look nice with 640x480 sizing 1800k-2000k.
Scenes are tagged with model name and category info for cross-linked browsing.
Other Good Stuff:
Censored Content.
I don't know about you but it's a major buzz-kill for me when the sexual anatomy is censored out during video scenes. I know this is typical of Asian content, but it's not something I find a lot of value in. When users are paying for content, I suspect they're doing so in hopes of seeing the whole shebang.
May Be Non Exclusive Content.
Such is the case with many video sites, but it is likely that the content here may be found elsewhere online. They still score points for originality here, but exclusivity is hard to be certain of.
Minor Negatives:
Hot outdoor scenes from a Japanese Network but not much personality.
Hardcore sex & masturbation scenes featuring young Japanese girls in outdoor settings is what you can expect from Outdoor JP. It's a fairly simple site offering close to 500 or so video scenes currently but new ones are added in addition to your bonus site access that comes along with your membership. The quality is holding up okay for now, but there is always room for improvement on that front. I would love to see an advanced search tool added, but getting around wasn't tough either. You really can't go too wrong with these great JAV scenes, I just wish Asian films didn't blur out the money-making organs!

The "Very Funny" cable network burned off the whopping nine-episode season of its sly charmer about Chicago sportswriter PJ (Jordana Spiro) and her pals on Sundays opposite such sky-high-profile cable competition as Keeping Up with the Kardashians and Mad Men — whose costar Joel Murray, aka rehabbed alky Freddy Rumsen, guested on Boys as the owner who sold the gang's hangout, Crowley's, to Brando (Reid Scott) in the season finale.

TBS, well-known for keeping the bawdy memory of Carrie Bradshaw & Co. alive via frequent reruns, now has a twist on Sex and the City to call its own: My Boys, premiering tonight (at 10 pm/ET) and starring Jordana Spiro as PJ Franklin, a Chicago Cubs beat reporter whose circle of friends is primarily fellas.

Hey, readers. Thanks for showing up at my very first My Boys blog! So the first bit of business: Who am I? My name is Jordana Spiro, and I play PJ on TBS' new comedy series My Boys. I don't really know anything about blogging, except that it's apparently the wave of the future, and it's a fun word to say. That being said, I will do my best to make this interesting, and feel free to let me know if there is anything specifically you want to know about. I'm sure some of you ladies will soon develop crushes on several of the boys in my cast and will want to know details about them. Well, I pride myself on my honesty, so I will only charge a small fee for anything they have told me in private. Second bit of business: What is My Boys? And here it goes... My Boys: The Prologue (because it hasn't started airing yet which it will on Nov. 28 at 10 pm/ET on TBS, shameless time-slot reminder). My Boys is about this girl, PJ, and all of her guy friends.

Chris Collier Stripped of Insurance License
Posted 10/1/2012 12:00 am
Updated 2 years ago
Here's another unfortunate development for Chris Collier, the former financial adviser for defunct Stanford Financial Group in Little Rock: He's lost his insurance license.
Collier's license as a broker-dealer and investment adviser was revoked in July, and he was fined $10,000 by the Arkansas Securities Department for selling $300,000 worth of Stanford's worthless CDs to a retiree whose total portfolio was less than $700,000.
But Collier, who was then working for Bean Hamilton Corporate Benefits in Little Rock, failed to notify the Arkansas Insurance Department within 30 days that he'd been disciplined for fraudulent and dishonest business practices, as required by state law.
Collier waived his right to counsel and to an administrative hearing and consented to the revocation, which was signed by Insurance Commissioner Jay Bradford on Sept. 6.
Collier is no longer employed by Bean Hamilton, and his cellphone wasn't accepting calls last week.
Collier, you may recall, filed for bankruptcy in July 2010, about a year and a half after the Securities & Exchange Commission declared CDs issued by "Sir" Allen Stanford's bank in Antigua to be a multibillion-dollar Ponzi scheme. In his bankruptcy schedules, Collier listed nearly 30 clients who might have a claim because he sold them the bogus CDs.
Two of those clients - Nancy McGraw of Little Rock and Pfeifer Sutter Family LLC of Benton, led by attorney Luther Sutter - are still contesting discharge of their claims. A trial on their challenge was held in July, but U.S. Bankruptcy Judge John Mixon had not entered a decision last week.

New Products
Virtualizers, rejoice! VMware has released version 5.5 of their popular VMware Workstation product. The new 64-bit guest support means that you can run either 32-bit or 64-bit versions of Linux, FreeBSD or Windows on a 64-bit host system, and additional import support lets developers load Symantec Ghost images as VMware virtual machines. The cost is $189 US for electronic download.
Novell has taken the wraps off the latest version of SUSE Linux. Version 10 is the first release to take advantage of Novell's new OpenSUSE initiative. OpenSUSE is Novell's answer to Fedora, letting community members contribute features and fixes to the SUSE Linux offering. Version 10 includes the latest versions of Firefox, OpenOffice.org and improved Windows integration, as well as new features such as Xen virtualization and iFolder. Available for $59 US.
WinSystems' new EPX-GX single-board computer offers a diversity of interface options for developers working on machine-to-machine applications. Based on an AMD GX500@1W processor, it draws a miserly 1.8 A at five volts, but still manages to sport a cornucopia of options, including 10/100 Ethernet, 802.11 support via a miniPCI connector, two USB ports, four comm ports, 24 digital I/O lines, audio, 4x AGP video, keyboard and mouse. Intended for use in applications such as robotics, transportation and other uses requiring a lower-power embedded device, it is compatible with the EPIC standard and is available for $499 US in OEM quantities.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Bond lowered for Otero County murder suspect
Bond was reduced Friday for a former Florence funeral home director and scoutmaster arrested in the October death of a Fowler funeral home owner.
Anthony Wright, 42, appeared in Otero County District Court Friday for his first court appearance after being arrested Thursday.
Wright's bond was reduced from $1 million to $500,000, according to 16th Judicial District Attorney Jim Bullock.
Wright was arrested on suspicion of first-degree murder, second-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder in connection with the Oct. 12 shooting of Byron Griffy, 77.

I love you guys. <3 Been waiting to play in FBB for a while.
surely pistons gotta go too, and I know the circumstances are bad for the Hawks GM but even if he sayd he is here for the future we can't be 100% certain about it, I'm sure he can get a team later on, I've been trying to get Zaza for ages now and his inbox is always full...
Those GM's gotta go, sorry if this comes off as harsh but it's only fair
Do any of the commishes got AIM?
My friend just signed up for an account on HR, he's waiting for the moderator. He really wants in, but can't post yet. Can I mark him down? He registered as chadanthony2001. He also isn't me or my brother.
So.....It only took a few years to get confirmed on Hornets Report but ALAS I am here! I'm the friend TheJNR was speaking about. I've been wanting to get in this sim league for a while now, and will be a pretty active member. How do I proceed from here?
Finally a new active GM
Didn't Balls say his friend just got confirmed as well?
Blazers, Clippers and Mavs are available, I think
He told me about that fiasco. Some people eh...
What teams are available? Do I get to choose?
EDIT: I see above...will have to do a bit of research :ezlawrnce
Mavs would certainly be the most challenging.
I don't know man. Whodatman was suppose to take over clips but he hasn't posted yet or anything.
It's got just about every answer to the basics and more. Any other questions, just feel free to ask someone will have an answer. Welcome
Welcome, Chad. Just be active and pay attention to the forums often and you'll make some friends.
By the way, don't hate him too bad for it, but he's a Lakers fan...
After a glance...Clips are nice, an immediate contender. Mavs def need lots of TLC. I guess it depends on how much of a challenge I want. Since I'm new I def need to read thru all of this info and get a better grasp of things before I decide.
Ok so I'm going to go with the Mavs. I wish Bob Sura would magically disappear of course, but the Mavs are my pick!

Honeywell Turbochargers To Help Spur Increase In Diesel Passenger Vehicle Sales In United States
PLYMOUTH, Mich., March 27, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Honeywell (NYSE:HON) Turbo Technologies is helping provide consumers with an ever-growing list of turbocharged diesel powered vehicles, as manufacturers look to offer U.S. customers the same fuel economy and performance benefits that European consumers already enjoy.
Honeywell turbochargers are vital components of the new 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V-6 that will be available for the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee and the 2014 Ram 1500 pickup as well as in the 2.0-liter diesel engine in the Chevrolet Cruze and the 2.2-liter SKYACTIV-D engine in the Mazda 6.
"The increase in turbodiesel applications in the U.S. makes perfect sense in light of the more stringent CAFE regulations requiring more miles per gallon from manufacturers in a relatively short period of time," said Tony Schultz, Honeywell Turbo Technologies vice president of the Americas. "The performance benefits of turbodiesel engines simply cannot be ignored from an industry perspective in their ability to help reach these new fuel economy targets. Furthermore, I think customers experiencing the torque and power of a more fuel efficient turbodiesel engine will really be impressed with the vehicle's drivability."In the United States, recent industry projections anticipate that sales of passenger cars with turbocharged diesel engines will grow 22 percent in the next five years, with annual sales of more than a million cars per year expected by 2017. Sales of clean diesel passenger cars in North America have increased in 26 of the last 27 months, and were up more than 25 percent in 2012. Honeywell also projects turbodiesel penetration growth of 3 to 4 percent by 2018 following a relatively flat overall penetration rate during the past few years. "Our experience in Europe and our unique advantage in working with Honeywell's Aerospace team allow us to bring both innovation and value to our U.S. customers and their end consumers," said Schultz. "Even as manufacturers look to differentiate their technology in the showroom today, the ability to combine and pair technologies like turbocharging with engine downsizing, cylinder deactivation and even hybrid powertrains suggests that turbo technology will continue to play a key role for the next decade and beyond." With downsized and turbocharged gasoline engines and turbodiesel engines accounting for more than 75 percent of the vehicles in Europe, Honeywell continues to use its unique position as the global turbo leader to deliver new performance innovations with 100 new turbo launches annually and some 500 applications in its production pipeline. Collaboration with Honeywell Aerospace engineering is driving even greater turbo performance through ball bearing and air bearing development, high temperature material selection for more gasoline turbo applications and even projects combining turbos with fuel cell applications. About Honeywell Turbo TechnologiesHoneywell Turbo Technologies ( http://turbo.honeywell.com/) is the leading automotive turbocharger supplying technology solutions to nearly every major automaker and truck manufacturer in the world. The Turbo Technologies business is part of Honeywell Transportation Systems, which also comprises Honeywell Friction Materials, a leading global automotive supplier of brake friction materials.

Republicans to Sideline Hispanics and Other Minorities by Piecemeal Immigration Legislation? - (2014)
Alan Lee. Immigration Daily, 1/6/14, explores the question of what Hispanics and other minorities should do now and in the event that the Republican House of Representatives is only prepared to offer limited immigration legislation in the early part of 2014. The article looks at the escalating stakes of the 2014 midterm elections brought on by the November 2013 Democratic Senate action of exercising the "nuclear option" to cut off debate at 51 votes instead of 60 on judicial and executive appointments; how it changed the balance of power in Congress; how the GOP is planning to retake the Senate in 2014; and how Hispanics and other minorities should leverage the situation now and be prepared to turn out en masse in terms of effort/ votes to oppose the plan as the end result of Republican success would be their perception that comprehensive immigration reform is unnecessary for the GOP to retain power.

Filibuster Ending a Shot across the Bow for Republicans When Considering Comprehensive Immigration Reform - (2013)
Alan Lee, Immigration Daily, 7/22/13, examines consequences of modifying Senate rules to simple majority to stop debate and end filibusters if Republicans fail to support comprehensive immigration reform and concludes that because of the groundswell of Hispanic/Asian-American anger and their population in critical states, the Senate would remain Democrat for at least 6 years during which time rule modification beyond the presently targeted executive appointments could allow extensive passage of Democrat favored legislation and judicial appointments.

The Bush Temporary Worker Proposal and Comparative Pending Legislation: an Analysis - (2004)
Alan Lee, Interpreter Releases, Vol. 81, No.15, 4/12/2004, analyzed the ultimately unsuccessful Bush attempt at Comprehensive Immigration Reform (CIR), the need for CIR, competing legislation, & the pros & cons of the different paths.
Industry Group(s): Immigration, Politics
Examination of EB-2 Visa Demand Vis-a-Vis H.R. 3012, Alan Lee, Interpreter Releases, Vol. 89, No. 10, 3/5/12, studies and estimates future EB-2 (employment based second preference permanent visas for those with advanced degrees) use to help determine the necessity of H.R. 3012, legislation which has the principal appeal of increasing the percentage of EB-2 permanent visas available to natives of China and India, but is the subject of a proposed anti-immigrant amendment for dropping Republican Senate opposition. The study attempts through conversations with the State Department Visa Office and by an independent observation of numbers related to labor certifications and visa petitions along with estimated percentages of each grouping as belonging to China and India natives, estimated attrition rates, and added family members, etc., to give a clearer perspective of what future demand will look like and whether the current rapid movement forward in this category on monthly visa bulletins of the State Department will continue regardless of the legislation's fate

RPA Issues 'Slow Citations' for Honda
To generate excitement for Honda's upcoming "Fastest Seat in Sports" sweepstakes offering entrants a chance to ride along with Mario Andretti, RPA Andretti went around annoying people going about their everyday business with "slow citations" for doing things too slowly.
RPA and Honda just released footage of the stunt (featured above), which follows the "Honda Speed Control" as they issue these citations to unsuspecting civilians. Three additional "slow citation" videos will be released preceding the end of the sweepstakes on August 6th. Additionally, RPA will be issuing "slow citations" to unsuspecting brands or products that are too slow on Twitter.
"Honda is leveraging one of the most exciting opportunities in all of sports fandom—the opportunity to win a ride in the Honda two-seat Indy Car driven by Andretti—to broaden awareness of this incredible sweepstakes," said Susie Rossick, senior manager at American Honda Motor Co., Inc. "This humorous video and social effort give us the opportunity to bring attention to Honda's racing spirit and the advanced technology and performance found in all of our Honda vehicles."

Health & Safety
A Southeast Texas tank trailer company is facing 32 federal citations and $160,000 in fines in the death of a worker at the facility's tank wash operation.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration has cited Freeport-based Enterprise Products Transportation Co. for 29 serious and three other-than-serious violations in the fatal accident Feb. 9.
OSHA's Houston South Area Office initiated its inspection at the company's facility on South Gulf Boulevard after receiving a report that a worker had been found, unresponsive, inside a tank trailer that was being prepared to be washed. The employee was removed from the tank trailer by a coworker, but later died. Neither the worker's name nor cause of death were released, and OSHA would not say which of the violations issued were related to the fatality.
Company Response
"Enterprise is committed to the responsible operation of its facilities and the safety of its employees and contractors," said company spokesman Rick Rainey. "In support of that ongoing mission, the company is cooperating with OSHA and will take the appropriate steps to address the issues."
Rainey declined to say whether the company would contest the citations.
Violations Detailed
The serious violations allege failure to:
• Install and maintain fall protection equipment;
• Provide safe access to work platforms;
• Develop energy control procedures and use them during maintenance activities;
• Provide required respiratory protection for employees performing tank wash work;
• Provide training on the use of powered industrial trucks; and
• Ensure that chemicals were safely stored.
• Install and maintain fall protection equipment;
• Provide safe access to work platforms;
• Develop energy control procedures and use them during maintenance activities;
• Provide required respiratory protection for employees performing tank wash work;
• Provide training on the use of powered industrial trucks; and
• Ensure that chemicals were safely stored.
A serious violation indicates a "substantial probability" of death or serious injury from a hazard about which the employer knew or should have known.
Other-than-serious violations allege failure to inspect breathing air cylinders and have them tested, and for failing to determine an appropriate respirator change schedule. An other-than-serious violation is one that has a direct relationship to job safety and health, but probably would not cause death or serious physical harm.
'Tragedy Could Have Been Avoided'
"Tank washing operations can involve hazardous procedures," said Mark Briggs, director of OSHA's Houston South Area Office. "If OSHA's safety standards had been followed, it is possible this tragedy could have been avoided."
Enterprise Transportation operates a fleet of about 800-tractor-trailer tank trucks, which are mainly used to transport NGL, petrochemical and refined products and is supported by 26 terminals owned and operated throughout the United States.
One of the nation's largest full-service tank truck companies, Enterprise Transportation has been in the tank truck business for more than 40 years. In September 2010, the company was acquired by Enterprise Products Partners LP
The company has 15 business days from receipt of the citations to comply, request an informal conference with OSHA's area director or contest the citations before the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission.
