Justices Weigh Foreigners' Suits Vs. Companies
The federal government has warned about serious foreign policy concerns over the broad application of the Alien Tort Statute. Then-South African President Thabo Mbeki said a lower court ruling in the United States in the lawsuit concerning apartheid smacked of "judicial imperialism."
In this case, however, the Obama administration is on the side of the Ogonis.
In a second case being argued Tuesday, the justices will consider whether the Torture Victims Protection Act of 1992 can only be invoked against individuals, not organizations or corporations.
The sons and widow of Azzam Rahim have filed a civil lawsuit against the Palestinian Authority and the Palestine Liberation Organization. The Palestinian-born Rahim was a naturalized U.S. citizen who was beaten and died in the custody of Palestinian intelligence officers in Jericho in 1995. Three officers were jailed for their role in the case, according to a State Department report.But when Rahim's relatives sought money damages for his death, the federal appeals court in Washington said they could not use the 1992 law to go after the Palestinian organizations. The law may be applied only to "natural persons," the appeals court said. Some supporters of the lawsuits have drawn a link to the Supreme Court's 2010 ruling in the Citizens United case, which said corporations have the same rights as people to speak and spend freely to influence elections. But if the court sides with businesses in these cases, it would be saying "corporations are not persons for the purpose of enforcing human rights violations. It's really a weird paradox," said Peter Weiss, vice president of the Center for Constitutional Rights and the first lawyer to win an appeals court ruling backing the use of the Alien Tort Statute to sue over human rights violations.

There's a debate going on about whether the U.S. government—specifically, the NSA and United States Cyber Command—should stockpile Internet vulnerabilities or disclose and fix them. It's a complicated problem, and one that starkly illustrates the difficulty of separating attack and defense in cyberspace.
A software vulnerability is a programming mistake that allows an adversary access into that system. Heartbleed is a recent example, but hundreds are discovered every year.
Unpublished vulnerabilities are called "zero-day" vulnerabilities, and they're very valuable because no one is protected. Someone with one of those can attack systems world-wide with impunity.
When someone discovers one, he can either use it for defense or for offense. Defense means alerting the vendor and getting it patched. Lots of vulnerabilities are discovered by the vendors themselves and patched without any fanfare. Others are discovered by researchers and hackers. A patch doesn't make the vulnerability go away, but most users protect themselves by patch their systems regularly.
Offense means using the vulnerability to attack others. This is the quintessential zero-day, because the vendor doesn't even know the vulnerability exists until it starts being used by criminals or hackers. Eventually the affected software's vendor finds out—the timing depends on how extensively the vulnerability is used—and issues a patch to close the vulnerability.
If an offensive military cyber unit discovers the vulnerability—or a cyber-weapons arms manufacturer—it keeps that vulnerability secret for use to deliver a cyber-weapon. If it is used stealthily, it might remain secret for a long time. If unused, it'll remain secret until someone else discovers it.
Discoverers can sell vulnerabilities. There's a rich market in zero-days for attack purposes—both military/commercial and black markets. Some vendors offer bounties for vulnerabilities to incent defense, but the amounts are much lower.
The NSA can play either defense or offense. It can either alert the vendor and get a still-secret vulnerability fixed, or it can hold on to it and use it as to eavesdrop on foreign computer systems. Both are important U.S. policy goals, but the NSA has to choose which one to pursue. By fixing the vulnerability, it strengthens the security of the Internet against all attackers: other countries, criminals, hackers. By leaving the vulnerability open, it is better able to attack others on the Internet. But each use runs the risk of the target government learning of, and using for itself, the vulnerability—or of the vulnerability becoming public and criminals starting to use it.
There is no way to simultaneously defend U.S. networks while leaving foreign networks open to attack. Everyone uses the same software, so fixing us means fixing them, and leaving them vulnerable means leaving us vulnerable. As Harvard Law Professor Jack Goldsmith wrote, "every offensive weapon is a (potential) chink in our defense—and vice versa."
To make matters even more difficult, there is an arms race going on in cyberspace. The Chinese, the Russians, and many other countries are finding vulnerabilities as well. If we leave a vulnerability unpatched, we run the risk of another country independently discovering it and using it in a cyber-weapon that we will be vulnerable to. But if we patch all the vulnerabilities we find, we won't have any cyber-weapons to use against other countries.
Many people have weighed in on this debate. The president's Review Group on Intelligence and Communications Technologies, convened post-Snowden, concluded (recommendation 30), that vulnerabilities should only be hoarded in rare instances and for short times. Cory Doctorow calls it a public health problem. I have said similar things. Dan Geer recommends that the U.S. government corner the vulnerabilities market and fix them all. Both the FBI and the intelligence agencies claim that this amounts to unilateral disarmament.
It seems like an impossible puzzle, but the answer hinges on how vulnerabilities are distributed in software.
If vulnerabilities are sparse, then it's obvious that every vulnerability we find and fix improves security. We render a vulnerability unusable, even if the Chinese government already knows about it. We make it impossible for criminals to find and use it. We improve the general security of our software, because we can find and fix most of the vulnerabilities.
If vulnerabilities are plentiful—and this seems to be true—the ones the U.S. finds and the ones the Chinese find will largely be different. This means that patching the vulnerabilities we find won't make it appreciably harder for criminals to find the next one. We don't really improve general software security by disclosing and patching unknown vulnerabilities, because the percentage we find and fix is small compared to the total number that are out there.
But while vulnerabilities are plentiful, they're not uniformly distributed. There are easier-to-find ones, and harder-to-find ones. Tools that automatically find and fix entire classes of vulnerabilities, and coding practices that eliminate many easy-to-find ones, greatly improve software security. And when person finds a vulnerability, it is likely that another person soon will, or recently has, found the same vulnerability. Heartbleed, for example, remained undiscovered for two years, and then two independent researchers discovered it within two days of each other. This is why it is important for the government to err on the side of disclosing and fixing.

Flash full screen leaving empty space on top and bottom of my screen
When I play any flash videos in full mode on my second screen, there is empty space on the bottom and top of my screen. This started happening recently and I am not sure what caused it. If I move the video over to my primary screen, I can view the video in full mode with any white borders. I am including 2 images to show the difference. On my primary screen you see that the video takes advantage of my whole screen, while on the secondary screen, there is empty space on top and bottom. This just started happening recently and I am trying to figure out what is causing it. The resolution on my primary screen is 1600 x 900 and on secondary screen is 1440 x 900.

My first guess without knowing anything else is this is simply the graphic driver/card's way of dealing with the aspect ratio difference between the two monitors. It is possible this only started after a update to the flash player or graphics driver, I don't really see it as anything to be concerned about, and more than likely a great deal more trouble to solve than it's worth.

The first release of Mark Watt's highly-anticipated small batch blend has arrived -- a twenty year old, sherry-aged marriage of Bruichladdich and Mortlach single malts with the grain whiskies of Cameronbridge and Invergordon. The rich malty notes come instantly in the nose and burnt sugar and sherry spices are decadent on the first sip. The bits of toasted marshmallow and marzipan linger long on the finish. The grain component is definitely palatable, so the overall experience isn't as supple as sherry-aged single malt would be, but the blending talent of Watt is on full display. It's a seamless blend that really highlights the strengths of each whisky. There's not much available, but we're taking everything we can get. Cadenhead's resources have yet to be fully tapped, in our opinion.

DOTS gloves let you use your iPhone even when it's cold
This is pretty brilliant in its own special way. Let's paint the scene -- you're wandering the cold streets of Chicago a few months from now, and you're wondering where the closest pizza place is. You whip out your iPhone to pull up the Google Maps application, but wait -- your hands are covered in gloves, and no matter how much you try to swipe the screen, you can't get it to register your swipes, much less hit those little keys on the keyboard. But it's too cold to take your gloves off -- what do you do?
Solution: DOTS gloves. They've got little smooth plastic "dots" built into the fingertips so you can control a touchscreen even while your hands are kept warm. Like I said, genius in its own way. However, I haven't actually used them, so I can't say for sure they work the way we'd expect. While they specifically mention them working on the iPhone, I've had trouble in the past getting the iPhone to register materials other than my finger. Still, if you want to take their word for it, $15 is cheap for a good pair of knit gloves anyway. If you're in the market for a new pair this winter and know you won't want to have to take your gloves off just to work a touchscreen, seems like a good deal to me.

ABC Four Corners interviewed Associate Professor Teresa Davis from the Business School about marketing of fast foods to young people.
After experiencing rapid growth, we are now considered at the forefront of advancing Marketing knowledge through research and teaching, and a leading provider of undergraduate and post graduate Marketing education.
Our teaching and research benefit from strong links with business, professional associations and Government. We draw on the industry experience of our staff as well as the Discipline's Advisory Board, which is made up of some of Australia's leading marketing practitioners.
Graduates in Marketing take up numerous roles in marketing management, advertising, market research and consulting. They work across sectors - in commercial, government and not-for-profit organisations. An increasing number of graduates end up in senior management positions, such as Managing Director, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Board Director.
The breadth of Marketing provides room for all kinds of people - those who see themselves having more general people and communication skills, are highly entrepreneurial, and those who see themselves as being highly analytical and creative. Marketing is central to any organisation's success and the demand for highly skilled marketers has never been stronger.
We encourage you to find out more about the Discipline's innovative programs, activities and people. And to discover more about what marketers do and what marketing is like at The University of Sydney, we invite you to view the short film produced by the marketing discipline's film unit.

One of the big reasons Andrew was able to put together the best season in program history, finishing 26-4 and advancing to the Lincoln-Way Central Sectional championship before falling 12-10 Saturday to Sandburg, was the T-bolts' balance.
There seemingly was a new player stepping up for Andrew every game.
"You look at the scoring report to try to scout us and you see Andrew Wojdyla six goals one game, Alex Gacek five this game, Kyle Fitzgerald — a first-year player — stepping up big," Andrew coach Kris Kowal said. "The guys played together as a team. It wasn't just one or two guys doing everything for us."
In the end, Sandburg and coach Jim Caliendo had just enough to end the T-bolts' dream run.
"Coach Caliendo is a great coach," Kowal said. "He knows how to make adjustments. It's a chess match when you play him, and he's a master. Sometimes he makes people look like they're playing checkers."

Update: Laing O'Rourke confirmed as preferred bidder for £200m BSF scheme
(27 March 2008 16:23)
Laing ORourke has beaten Skanska this week in the race to become preferred bidder on Newham Councils £200m Building Schools for the Future (BSF) scheme in London.
Newham Learning Partnership (Laing O'Rourke Portfoilio Projects Ltd) and Skanska were both shortlisted in January this year on Newham's BSF scheme which will see four schools completely rebuilt and another nine remodelled and refurbished.
Laing O'Rourke will deliver the new build element of the scheme, with local firm Jerram Falkus carrying out the refurbishment work, estimated at around £50m in the first phase. Sources say Laing O'Rourke's decision to use a local builder, with a track record in school building work, swung the deal in its favour.
The newly built schools will be Little Ilford, Lister, Rokeby and Stratford schools, while Brampton Manor, Eastlea, Forest Gate, Langdon, Plashet, Royal Docks, St Angela's, St Bonaventure's and Sarah Bonnell schools will all be modernised to meet BSF standards.
If I remember correctly from the very brief meeting we had, Skanska chose Civica, and Laing O'Rourke (Newham Learning Partnership) chose RM, so it looks like the end of Vanilla Windows Server networks in Newham! Connect 4, 5 and 6, here we come! What joy! Not!
Interesting as well that I found this out from the media, and as yet, no one from management, or the borough have told us what the current situation is!

OLYMPIA — Senate Democrats apparently will have to resurrect a Republican title that they previously rejected to pass a bill that makes changes to the supermajority requirements for tax increases.
That means Democrats take an amendment that they don't like, for a title written by Republicans to a bill they don't like. Should anyone care? Only in the sense that the title of the bill, if it passes, can restrict any changes the House may try to make when it moves to the other chamber.
There's a huddle at the podium by leaders of both parties, while the remainder of the senators are milling about.

Wes Chapman has resigned his position as artistic director of Alabama Ballet to become artistic director of American Ballet Theatre's Studio Company in New York. He replaces Kirk Peterson, who has held the position since June 2006. Peterson will remain with ABT as Master Teacher and pursue choreographic interests.
After being named ballet master with ABT a year ago, Chapman divided his time between Birmingham and New York. In April, he affirmed his position in Alabama after Ballet Master Roger Van Fleteren's resignation, but because of the demands of his new position in New York, he will no longer be able to maintain both posts.
ABT's 12-member Studio Company prepares dancers 16 to 20 years old for the demands of the main company. Two Birmingham dancers, sisters Melissa and Mary Mills Thomas, have recently advanced from the Studio Company to the main company.

County GOP, Islamic group, adoptions, debt reduction and more
Forgetful of history
In response to "South Carolina proud" (Opinion, Jan. 8): When it comes to the matters of race, it is tragically ironic to observe conservative Republicans pat themselves on the back while wrapping around the words of Martin Luther King Jr. Especially considering the obstructionist role the GOP played (sound familiar?) in the passage of the civil rights legislation of the '60s. While today taking credit for "true" diversity by showcasing the inclusion of politicians such as Marco Rubio, Tim Scott, Susan Martinez, etc., their intellectual forefathers such as William F. Buckley were arguing that African-Americans didn't deserve to vote. The Bill O'Reillys of the day were lamenting the passing of the "traditional" segregated America.
While the historian Mr. Hedgecock was dredging up the pro-slavery/racist past of the 19th-century Democratic Party, he conveniently omitted the fact that many of those "Dixiecrats" with the likes of Strom Thurmond switched party affiliation in the mid-20th century over civil rights legislation, finding a nice home in today's GOP. I know a smart man like Mr. Hedgecock must also know about Nixon's notorious "Southern strategy" which, for better or worse, still plagues the Republican Party to this day.
The GOP tries to make noise about the new window dressing of the party, but their silence on birthers, immigrant-bashers, racially charged "code words" by their operatives and general right-wing blowhards, is the most deafening sound many Americans hear. – John Payne, San Diego
Observation is the best evaluation
In response to "No 'badge of honor' for backing education status quo" (Editorial, Jan 9): From the prospective of this teacher, modern education reform is misguided.
Testing is much more harmful than beneficial. It is undermining cognitive development and creativity. The lack of understanding by policymakers is causing great schools to be falsely labeled failures. Testing does not measure quality of education. The biggest factor influencing testing results is the financial condition of the neighborhood. Another big factor is the language spoken in a student's home.
The best way to evaluate a school is by teams of professional educators spending one to three weeks studying the school, reporting and giving feedback to the school on how to improve. This is a regular practice that has been ongoing for decades but it is being ignored. Instead, the much-less-reliable testing regimes that profit corporations but hurt schools are used by bad actors to denigrate public education. Michelle Rhee is the representative of those who want to profit from the education dollar. She is a great fundraiser who knows how to promote herself, but she has no credibility as an educator. Her grades are just more political theater by someone who should be ignored. Her organization should be retitled "ProfitsFirst." – Thomas Ultican, University City
A $200 million question
David Brandt's letter (Jan. 8) recommended that the stadium in Mission Valley could be refurbished for only $200 million. My first thought was that for a city that routinely has water lines break due to old age, more potholes than you can count, sewer lines backing up, and we are supposed to spend millions to benefit a private business – the Chargers? Think how much of those sorely needed repairs could be completed for that amount of money. San Diego has enough money problems – we don't need to add the stadium to the list. – Bruce Tippie, San Diego

IBM is First Mover with Disruptive Flash Memory Technology on New x6 Servers
Posted by Richard Fichera on January 16, 2014
- 11 Recommendations
- 0 comments
This week, IBM announced its new line of x86 servers, and included among the usual incremental product improvements is a performance game-changer called eXFlash. eXFlash is the first commercially available implantation of the MCS architecture announced last year by Diablo Technologies. The MCS architecture, and IBM's eXFlash offering in particular, allows flash memory to be embedded on the system as close to the CPU as main memory, with latencies substantially lower than any other available flash options, offering better performance at a lower solution cost than other embedded flash solutions. Key aspects of the announcement include:
■ Flash DIMMs offer scalable high performance. Write latency (a critical metric) for IBM eXFlash will be in the 5 to 10 microsecond range, whereas best-of-breed competing mezzanine card and PCIe flash can only offer 15 to 20 microseconds (and external flash storage is slower still). Additionally, since the DIMMs are directly attached to the memory controller, flash I/O does not compete with other I/O on the system I/O hub and PCIe subsystem, improving overall system performance for heavily-loaded systems. Additional benefits include linear performance scalability as the number of DIMMs increase and optional built-in hardware mirroring of DIMM pairs.
■ eXFlash DIMMs are compatible with current software. Part of the magic of MCS flash is that it appears to the OS as a standard block-mode device, so all existing block-mode software will work, including applications, caching and tiering or general storage management software. For IBM users, compatibility with IBM's storage management and FlashCache Storage Accelerator solutions is guaranteed. Other vendors will face zero to low effort in qualifying their solutions.
■ Applications will benefit. A wide range of applications, including digital marketing, analytics, general VM and VDI hosting, seismic and image processing, and high-speed trading, essentially any that would have benefitted from an on-board PCIe card or mezzanine flash card, will benefit from eXFlash.
Initially eXFlash DIMMs will be available in 200 GB and 400 GB capacity and available on the new x3650 and x3850 systems. The 2-socket x3650 can be configured with up to 3.2 TB of flash DIMMs (8 eXFlash DIMMs out of 24 available DIMM slots), and the x3850 can be loaded with up to 12.8 TB (32 DIMMs out of 96 slots).

nothing special. I have combo oily/dry skin. did nothing to help with oil, or blackheads, or pores, or anything. if anything, it slightly dried my skin, and opened my pores way too much. even some red discoloration before my makeup application.
now I am more happy with Mac's cremewash. no drying. to control any shine/oil, I use Mac's blot powder. and my face has never looked better.
First, let me say: THIS IS BASICALLY THE SAME THING AS PROACTIVE, BUT FOR MASSIVELY CHEAPER. (This is what my derm told me, and as this woman has been the guiding savior of my skin and all my friends' skin...)
This stuff does a great job. Very few products use benzoyl peroxide instead of salicylic acid--benzoyl peroxide kills the bacteria, which means it works a lot better (and more quickly!) than salicylic acid for a lot of people.
You only need a tiny, tiny bit to wash your face with--you need more for the mask, of course, but that's just logical--and it really goes a long way. It's too harsh for my face and makes me scaly, but EVERYTHING is too harsh for my face--I can only wash with Cetaphil, and even that is quite drying for me.
This really is an incredible product--it gets rid of the acne, clears and cleans your face up, and tones your pores, too, especially when used as a mask. I think it's too strong to be used very often as a mask.
Took off points for packaging quality because the lid on mine won't close anymore, no matter what I do. I'd recommend this to anyone with moderate acne--I think it's probably too strong for anyone with clear skin or only mild acne.

I'm using this more as a mask rather than a cleanser. I've been suffering from horrendous breakouts from Skinceuticals Retinol product (Stopped it, got way worse). I visited a Derm recently and she gave me Differin gel and Clindgel and told me to wash with a BP wash of less than 5%. Without having to buy proactive, I figured I'd give this a shot. My pores were tight, my face felt so clean and fresh afterward.
BP will irritate ees, so keep it away from your mucous membranes
Pros- Deep cleans the pores, makes them tighter, clean and fresh feeling. Nice cooling menthol. Cheaper than proactiv and easier to find.
Cons- Hard to wash off. Really hard. So I suggest doing the mask before you shower, let it sit for 3 to 5 minutes and rinse off with the aid of a washcloth. It can irritate the eyes and make you red if you use excessively. So be careful.
I am using a gentle cleanser (Neoceuticals Triclosan Antibacterial wash) first. It gets off my makeup and even sensitive skin can use it. Then I do the mask, leave on about 5 minutes, rinse in shower. My acne cleared very fast using this with Differin every other night.
BP Washes have been shown to be just as effective as leave on BP products without the irritation. It doesn't take but 5 minutes for it to penetrate your skin and give you some antibacterial protection.
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Not my favourite product out there, but i don't hate it. My skin had that new feel to it after but it hardly lasted. My acne reddened slightly and i didn't feel as if my pores were unclogged. not a great product as far as Neutrogena goes. disappointing, i won't be buying again
More reviews by angela_cheung11
Not sure whether this is the product I used because I couldnt find the one i was looking for, but i think in Australia this is called Skin Clearing cleanser/mask.
I loved the scent and menthol in this cleanser, left my skin cool and refreshed. Didn't clear up my acne though.
Good as a cleanser, good as a mask. Felt like pretty much the same thing.
I loved this product and I wish i could use it but i can't because of my acne, so i won't be buying again.
I originally bought this product for a mask and was happy that I could use it as a cleanser too. I like it better as a mask; you put it on & you start to feel it tingle & when you wash it off it feels all nice, tingly, and clean. When I used to as a facewash (I was my face 2 times a day), it seemed to make my face a little drier than usual. I think it did more for my acne when used as a mask, but overall its still a good product.
It's better than a lot of much more expensive masks out there.
I'd only recommend it to someone who rarely breaks out, doesn't use BP on a regular basis, and just uses it as an occasional mask when the skin is very oily after cleaning the house or right before their period.
Quite drying, slightly irritating cleanser, which is a bad idea if you actually have acne and are using a benzoyl peroxide gel daily (a lot more efficient than just using a cleanser containing one). You will flake from the BP and only want to use a very mild cleanser, since you can't "lift" the oil that is clogging your pores with a mask, unfortunately...
I'm also getting sick of products for oily skin that contain menthol to give the tingling, "refreshing" feeling... does menthol actually do anything for oily skin? I don't believe so.
With that said, as face masks for oily/combo skin go, this one is affordable, mattifies well and can probably help prevent the occasional break out.
Hello all! I use this product almost daily. I am a bath taker/soaker. I soak four aspirin (walmart brand) and mix it with a 1/2 teaspoon of this mask/cleanser and let it sit while I catch up on my "trash" mags. After ten or fifteen minutes I rinse. Viola, good to go! No need for any other product before bed. I read that BP even for a few minutes does the necessary job of bacteria removal. Just wash and moisturize in A.M. I do not use it to remove my makeup (purpose bar). This and mineral makeup(Everday Minerals) have cleared up my hormonal skin. YAH!
4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Been waiting a few weeks to review, and the verdict is in-- it's great! Haven't had 1 blemish the whole time I've been using this. I'm surprised, since the BP is supposedly washed off so quickly that it shouldn't have time to work, but something seems to. It is tingly, and the first time I used as a mask, my face was red and a bit "hot", but it works so well. I use every night as a cleanser and 2 to 3 times a week as mask. Hasn't really helped blackheads, but neither does my BHA product (Neutrogena 3 in 1 Stress Control), but together they've helped my face look as good as it ever has. No miracles, but I'm happy.
This is one of the few Neutrogena products I will continue to buy. I only use this in the shower, because it is quite thick and difficult to rinse off. Once a week or once every two weeks, on days that I do not use my 2% BHA gel, I put this on in the shower like a mask, and rinse after a few minutes. I like the cool, tingly sensation, and it makes my skin feel soooo smooth. I don't like using it out of the shower as a mask because it's on for a long time and tends to make my skin red. I have used this as a cleanser and it is great at removing make-up, but I prefer my Skin Balancing Cleanser.

East Central Florida VA Medical Center

(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO discussed the Department of Veterans Affairs' (VA) east central Florida site selection for a VA medical center, focusing on the potential effects of national health care financing reform and the proposed closure of the Orlando Naval Hospital on the need to construct a VA medical center in east central Florida. GAO found that: (1) no one has developed evidence to change its finding or conclusions in regard to the VA medical center site selection; (2) it has been unable to develop data on veteran populations in the counties surrounding the alternative sites; (3) a universal health insurance system may reduce the demand for VA medical care by almost 50 percent because many veterans would not use VA care if they have an alternative; (4) although the VA medical center might be delayed, VA can provide needed care through demonstration projects using community hospitals; (5) east central Florida is a good venue to test alternative health care delivery systems, since its veteran population is dispersed with three main population centers and it has considerable unused private sector hospital capacity; and (6) the proposed closure of the Orlando Naval Hospital can make it available for use as either a VA hospital or nursing home, which will make building a VA medical center in the Orlando area unnecessary.

Gram Parsons is remembered as much for wearing sequined cowboy suits on stage and for being illegally cremated in the desert by one of his friends after dying of a drug overdose as he is for the half-dozen albums he played on in the late 1960s and early 1970s, including the Byrds' classic Sweetheart of the Rodeo. Meyer (A Girl and a Gun) covers both aspects of the legend, but he gives particular attention to the way Parsons brought together elements of country and rock music to forge a new sound. After a leisurely telling of Parsons's "rich white trash" family drama in Florida and Georgia, including his father's suicide and the barely contained contempt of his mother's family, the biography plunges into his musical career, careening from one band to the next just as Parsons himself did. Meyer is appreciative but never adulatory of Parsons, who he believes threw his talent away; while citing the influence of the Flying Burrito Brothers' debut album, for example, he repeatedly mentions the band's "unbelievably sloppy" sound. This isn't the first biography of Parsons, but Meyer's semidetached stance as a critical fan makes it a valuable one, in the vein of Peter Guralnick or Greil Marcus.

Arizona Diamondbacks (12-14)@
Houston Astros (8-17)

Minute Maid Park

Houston, TX (Sports Network) - Chris Snyder blasted a go-ahead three-run homer in the fourth to help Cesar Valdez earn the win in his major league debut, and the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the struggling Houston Astros, 9-1, to begin a four-game set at Minute Maid Park.
Snyder's home run was his fifth of the season for the Diamondbacks, who snapped a three-game losing streak. Chris Young added three hits and three RBI, while Mark Reynolds went 2-for-4 with two runs scored and an RBI in the win.
Valdez (1-0), starting in place of the injured Kris Benson (shoulder), lasted five innings and allowed only one run, five hits and three walks while fanning two.
"I was impressed with how he was able to hold it together, especially those first two innings" said Diamondbacks manager AJ Hinch. "They made him work. He threw a lot of pitches in the first. He collected himself and went out and got into trouble again, and got through it."
Carlos Lee hit an RBI double for the Astros, who have lost seven consecutive games for the second time this season, as they began the year 0-8.
Felipe Paulino (0-4) lost his fourth consecutive start, allowing four runs, five hits and four walks in six innings. He struck out eight.
"You're going to go through those struggles," said Astros manager Brad Mills. "But again, and you've heard me say before, you keep moving in the right direction, You keep doing the right things and that's what we are trying to do. You look at tonight's game and you might think: well, there wasn't too much going in the right direction. But that's what we do, is we try and pick out those right things to keep moving in that right direction."
Michael Bourn walked leading off the first, stole second and scored on Lee's one-out double. The Diamondbacks, though, tied the game in the second on Young's RBI double.
Valdez got into a bases-loaded, one-out jam in the home second, but Bourn lined out to the third baseman Reynolds, and Jeff Keppinger grounded out to end the threat.
The Diamondbacks moved in front with a three-run fourth. Adam LaRoche drew a one-out walk, and Gerardo Parra kept the inning alive with a two-out single to right. Snyder followed by blasting a homer to left, putting the visitors ahead, 4-1.
Valdez retired six of the next seven batters he faced and exited after five frames, and Esmerling Vasquez came in and threw a perfect sixth.
Tim Byrdak pitched the seventh for Houston and retired the first two hitters, but two walks and a single loaded the bases for Arizona and prompted a pitching change. The move didn't work out, as Sammy Gervacio allowed a two-run single to Young for a five-run game.
Brian Moehler allowed RBI singles to Justin Upton and Reynolds and an RBI double to LaRoche in the eighth to account for the final margin.

NBC NATIONAL NEWS — President Obama challenged women to lead the way in a resounding commencement address at Barnard College, a private women's college in New York City.
The President urged the women graduates not to believe the notion that change is impossible and to embrace and rekindle the spirit of change.
He also had a few pieces of advice for the graduates.
"Don't just get involved, fight for your seat at the table," stated Obama. "Better yet, fight for a seat at the head of the table."
While in New York City, President Obama will attend two fundraisers, one of which will be hosted by singer Ricky Martin, thanking him for his support of gay marriage.

Who Will Turn Werewolf on The Vampire Diaries?by Matt Richenthal at . Comments
There are clearly vampires in Mystic Falls.
After last week's episode, we also know there have been witches in the town for centuries.
TV Guide, meanwhile, reports that another creature will soon make an appearance on The Vampire Diaries.
On an upcoming episode, a major male character will turn out to be a werewolf. This storyline was not part of the L.J. Smith book series; and the magazine state that the individual in question won't even know he's a werewolf at first.
Interesting. There are only a couple candidates, really: Tyler and Matt. Our money is on the latter. Debate this issue now in our Vampire Diaries forum!
Matt Richenthal is the Editor in Chief of TV Fanatic. Follow him on Twitter and on Google+.Tags: The Vampire Diaries, Spoilers
I think. That. Matt is somehow related to klaus that makes him a werewolf. You know because klaus hare a different dad than elighia but had the same mom and in anger elighas dad kill klaus's other family on his dads side of the family maybe some of them escaped and you know the rest soo there for I think Matt is going to be a werewolf ....
I think Matts mother will become a werewolf. remember the kissing thing n then being hurled over the table with Tyler? I think Tyler accidentally infected her when they were bleeding after Matt attacked Tyler for kissing his Mum. Lots of the significance of that I think was lost in everyone being so focused on Stefans bloodlust, but thats what I think. Tyler is already a werewolf, and so is his dad the Mayor, and I think Matt is going to become the glorified "Xander" character of this series, you know the normal but heroic Human in a supernatural world? Will make for some weak romance story line between him and Elena when she goes to him for advice on her crazy vamp love problems, and it would be an ideal way for him to become involved in the supernatural world around him if its something as personal as having to help his mother.
Its Tyler!!!
Read the books!!!!!!!!!!
tyler no doubt mat just wont fit the part as a werewolf and in the latest episode the founders party it was tyler and his dad who also heard the noise that only the vampires can hear and blood was coming out of his dads ears and of course there not vampires so duh its TYLER!(plus hes beautiful!)
Its quite clearly Tyler
Actually, in the books there were werewolvs. Tyler was one.
in the books tyler is a werewolf.
Yea dat moon shot def gave it away i knew he was a wolf.
I say Tyler because in that one episode his dad was pushing him to fight jeremy but then Alaric came and saved the day, but afterwards Matt was a little mad at Tyler and said"Whats the matter with you?" and Tyler said "i dont know" and then the camera moves to the full moon.. thats just my theory though

A special catheter will be placed into the bladder over the wire. The catheter will be sutured in place. A balloon may be inflated to keep the catheter in place.

On Wednesday, EADS Socata CEO
Jean-Michel Léonard ceremonially placed the first stone for
the industrial center of EADS Socata's Moroccan subsidiary,
Situated in the new industrial park at the Casablanca-Mohammed V
International Airport, the 54,000 sq.ft facility will work on
subassemblies for Socata and its aerostructures customers -- mainly
elements for the Airbus A320 and A340, Eurocopter's AS
350/355 helicopters, the Dassault Aviation Falcon 7X business jet,
and Socata's own TBM 850 business aircraft.
Socaero began operations in 2007 in the Aeropôle zone near
Casablanca airport. The company currently employs 90 people.
"This ceremony demonstrates our will to develop Socata's
investments and facilities in coherence with the growth strategy
for our activities," Léonard said. "We chose Morocco because
of its geographical and cultural proximity with our other sites, as
well as for the local competencies – particularly in the
aeronautical sector, along with the hosting conditions we were
looking for."
EADS Socata has built more than 17,000 aircraft built since its
creation as Morane-Saulnier in 1911. Current products include the
TBM family of high-speed turboprops, aerostructures for Airbus
civil airliners, the A400M military transporter, Dassault Falcon
jets, Eurocopter helicopters and Embraer regional jets.
French aerospace supplier Daher Group recently acquired a 70
percent stake in the company,
as ANN reported.
