Team GhostShell Finishes The Year With Megahack on Orgs Including NASA and Pentagon Defense Contractor
Team GhostShell published their "last project" Monday, "Project WhiteFox." The hacking crew again used their signature method of announcing the large-scale hack, hijacking numerous Twitter profiles to link to their Pastebin page and notify tech blogs and writers who have covered them in the past.
On the page linking to data taken as part of Project WhiteFox, Team GhostShell explained some of their actions over the past year or so. They also revealed that "DeadMellox" was a ploy, writing that he "was a ghost to begin with." Read More

Detailer keeps the shine on show's featured cars, trucks

Erica Cervantes polishes cars at the Chicago Auto Show. Chicago Sun-Times media photo by Maureen O'Donnell.

She may not be a Detroit designer, but Erica Cervantes has a key role in making cars look good at the Chicago Auto Show.
Armed with a clean rag, a squirt bottle of glass cleaner and a fluffy duster, she patrols the show, never stopping, polishing cars until they gleam, and ridding them of the fingerprints of the curious.
"They touch the dashboard, the radio," she said, "inside the windows, especially [in] the back."
On Sunday, Cervantes, 21, buffed out enough fingerprint whorls to make a whole season of NCIS and CSI.
Good-natured visitors asked, "My car's in the parking lot — you wanna do my car?"
Cervantes, who works for Professional Detailers, has been working the show for four years. She likes "Seeing new faces, everyday." She also enjoys driving the cars onto the show floor.
The only bad time was when someone left remnants inside a car that appeared to be from a dirty diaper, she said. "Disgusting."
Working the Auto Show has given her a glimpse of gender-based psychology, she said. "The men are always excited, and the women are always walking around, dragging their feet."

Spector Pro Stealth Internet Monitoring; with recording of all online / offline user activity
Spector Pro for Mac operating systems is the latest version of the multi award-winning computer monitoring software. Extremely easy to install and use but specifically designed to secretly monitor and record EVERY detail of computer and internet activity allowing you to view a fully detailed description including DVD quality screen shots.
Spector Pro is the ultimate stealth recording software which guarantees invisibility. Nobody but you will ever know Spector Pro is installed and nobody but you will be able to access the stored information.
We have been advertising Spector Pro along with it's sister software
for over nine (9) years and we guarantee this is a premier monitoring software.
Need peace of mind?
Who are your children talking to online?
Are your employees passing company information to a competitor?
What really goes on when you go to bed?
With Spector Pro (we only advertise the latest version) you can have total peace of mind knowing everything anybody does on a computer will be silently recorded and invisibly stored for your private viewing including:
Screen snapshots of exactly what they do and in the order they do it
Keystrokes typed including hidden character passwords
Websites visited including every website and what they do on the page
Emails sent and received including web-based emails
Chat IM activity including both sides of the conversation
Facebook / Social networks including profiles they visit and pictures they post
Online searches including what they search for on Google, Yahoo, AOL and Bing
Program activity they launch including games and iTunes
Keyword alerts notify you instantly of inappropriate language or harmful websites they visit
Website blocking allows you to deny them access to certain websites or chat conversations
Remote viewer allows you to view recordings from another PC or Mac
To access the Spector secret area simply go to the computer and hold down four (4) hot keys together (you can specify these) and then a password prompt appears on the screen. Without inputting the correct password it is impossible to gain access to Spector Pro's recorded content. Once the password is inputted correctly, you have complete access to an easy to use interface where you can view all previous activity. Nobody will ever know.
Spector Pro for Mac
With each license of Spector Pro you will also receive the Ultimate Care Package which entitles the product owner to one full year of:
software updates that ensure Spector Pro remains up-to-date and capable of recording the latest versions of supported email, chat and instant message services, web browsers, web sites like MySpace, Skype, Facebook, and more ...
technical Support via email or phone - available 24 hours a day, seven (7) days a week
online access to Spector Pro's extensive Knowledge Base with helpful tips and tricks
Please Note:
The Ultimate Care Package worth £99.00 is included with your purchase for the first full year. This gives you unlimited updates of Spector Pro, 24/7 technical support and full online knowledge base for tips and tricks to get the most out of Spector Pro. After the one (1) year period a renewal fee of the same amount is required in order to continue receiving updates, 24/7 technical support and full knowledge base.
Why Spector Pro?
Spector Pro is best suited for customers who have regular access to the target computer. This means you can access the Spector Pro hidden menu (which cannot be found by anyone else) at any time suitable to you days or weeks later and preview a fully detailed visual of all previously recorded activity.
From keystrokes through to emails - Spector Pro records EVERYTHING ready for you to view with a time / date stamp next to all recorded activity.
Unlike eBlaster, Spector Pro also provides you with ultra high-resolution screen-shots which can be played just like a DVD player with FF / RW buttons allowing you to scroll through and see exactly what the person/s using the computer was also looking at.
Once you are finished investigating the target computer, a click of the button closes the protocol window and erases all traces of its presence. Nobody will ever know ..except YOU!
If you do not have regular access to the target computer, please read about the eBlaster product which works equally as good but does not require any further physical access to the target computer once installed.
Please Note:

It is against the law to install and monitor a computer which does not belong to the user, or authorisation has not been granted by the user to install and monitor the computer.

Spector Pro for Mac

Full dedicated technical support
Works on all Mac OS® operating systems including Leopard, Snow Leopard, Lion, Mountain Lion
Supplied with electronic email which includes download link, licensed serial number and User Guide

Please Note:
Do not purchase this item using Paypal due to their restriction on computer surveillance related products.
This is a downloadable software, do I get it instantly?
Once payment is received, we will send you everything you need to get up and running by email. There is no physical product sent in the post which means within minutes you can have the software. Please remember, we can only send you the email during working office hours.
What operating system does Spector Pro Mac work on?
This software is fully compatible with all Mac operating systems including Leopard, Snow Leopard, Lion, and Mountain Lion.
Whats the difference between this Spector Pro and the other eBlaster product?
Let's assume that you are a parent who wants to monitor the Internet activity of your children and that you will be installing Spector Pro on the computer that your children use.
If you have access to the computer frequently, then Spector Pro is probably the more appropriate product because it will be able to visually show you in exact detail everything the computer user has been doing. Additionally, Spector Pro will continuously take snapshots of what is on the computer screen (much like a video recorder) and allow you to play-back the snapshots in sequence.
On the other hand, if you only have very limited access to the computer, and you want to monitor all activity including websites they are visiting and transcripts of their emails and chat sessions, then eBlaster is the more appropriate product.
That is because eBlaster records and automatically sends you an email containing a full User Activity Report as frequently as every 30 minutes. So, if you are at work whilst your children are at home using the Internet, then you can automatically be notified via email what they are doing.
Many of our customers choose to get BOTH Spector Pro and eBlaster because they want the convenience of the detailed screen snapshots that Spector Pro provides, but they ALSO want to know when at work what their children are doing online at home, and they don't want to wait until they get home to find out.
Will anybody know the software is installed?
Spector Pro prevents unauthorised users from tampering with its recording software by using Stealth Technology. When installed, Spector Pro does not show up as an icon, does not appear in the Windows system tray, does not appear in Windows Programs, does not show up in the Windows task list, cannot be uninstalled without the Spector Pro password which only you can specify, and Spector Pro does not slow down the operation of the computer it is recording. The target user is oblivious.
How do I see the user's recorded activity?
During the installation process you will be guided how to access the recorded contents hidden behind a two (2) factor authentication process. Every user activity is captured from the moment the computer is switched ON to the very last keystroke.. and everything is shown in full colour!
Can I type certain keywords I want the software to monitor closely?
Yes. Once your specified keywords are triggered, the snapshot feature automatically speeds up so that when you do return to the target computer it is not possible to miss a single thing that has been pre-recorded.
Ive found unsuitable websites that my children frequent daily - what can I do now?
Now that you know which websites they are visiting, the people they are chatting with and what they are chatting about... just click the 'block' button! The website will no longer be accessible.
Ive forgotten the administrator password - can I still install Spector Pro Mac?
No. You will need administrator privileges (password) in order to install the Spector Pro software.
Will Spector Pro record what the user does even without an internet connection?
Yes. Both online and offline user activity is recorded - nothing escapes the softwares ability to capture computer use.
Will Spector Pro record if the computer is in Private Browsing mode?
No. When private browsing the computer isn't able to store information therefore, Spector Pro (or any other monitoring software) will not work correctly.
Does the software leave any traces it was installed?
No. All installation files are completely erased after being uninstalled.
Can I install the same software to another computer I want to monitor?
No. You will need another separate and unique license code to activate the software on a different computer. If you use the same license code on two (2) or more different computers, then the software cancels itself out and becomes invalid from further working operation.
Is computer monitoring legal to use?
Yes. Providing the software is installed to a computer that belongs to you or you have been given permission by the owner of the computer to install.

The Mardi Gras parade routes are long, and you can find plenty of places to stand—some more crowded than others. Depending on your age, whether or not you have kids and your parade-watching preferences, there are various parts of the route that might be best suited for you. Here are a few of the best spots you can try on your visit.
Grandstands on St. Charles Ave
Depending on the parade, tickets to the grandstands on St. Charles Ave can be fairly cheap and absolutely worth it. When the floats pass, they are just a few feet from where you can stand. And instead of competing with huge crowds on the ground, you can have a place to sit and be more comfortable. Just bring a huge bag for all the beads and trinkets you're likely to get! Prices range from as low as $5 to $50 a pop depending on the parade, and they can be purchased at https://www.neworleansparadetickets.com/.

Salomon Men's Toundra Mid WP
The best winter boot in my life! I was looking for warm boots to walk in town, with usual winter temperatures from -20 to -30 °C (-4 to -22 °F) in my area. I've bought them last year with a huge discount on eBay, 1,5 size larger than my own feet. To counter all that free toe space, I tie them up tightly at shins. A hook on the back of this boot comes handy to put it on. Laces are very long, which is good for a boot this long, quicklace would be at a disadvantage here. To take tham off you need… Full review
Sorel Conquest
These boots are warm, waterproof, and comfortable. There's little to no breaking-in required, and they feel very light on your feet. Between the laces and Achilles strap you can get a surprising amount of ankle support for this type of boot. I love these boots! I started wearing them back in 2005 when I took a job as a skilift mechanic. They kept my feet warm, dry, and comfortable during my long hours of walking, snowmobiling, and snowshoeing around the mountain, and after spending the night on… Full review
Keen Men's Revel Boots
I now own two pairs of these boots. One to wear at work and one to wear out playing. I work as a firefighter / captain at a fire station that responds into the world famous Kenecott Copper Pit. We can respond into to muddy snowy conditions from a dry clear day. I also use my Keen boots to play in. Everything from ice fishing to snowmobiling and snowshoeing. These boots have not failed and I've put them thru the numbers. I have a very wide foot and I'm difficult to fit. So, I totally am a happy customer. Full review
Chaco Otis Nurl
These boots are an excellent everyday winter boot for those who just may go on a spontaneous adventure. You can be sure your feet will be warm and extremely comfortable in these boots. They also have great traction in any weather condition. I am a huge fan of Chaco and these boots do not disappoint. I bought these because my Chaco Z/2's are so incredibly comfortable and I can walk in them all day, I just needed something for cold weather that would be just as comfortable. These boots offer a pigskin… Full review
Baffin Men's Impact
Well insulated and completely waterproof these boots are great for bitter winter cold and times when things are less frozen too. Not for serious climbing but perfect for bushwhacking, shoveling the drive or a long sledding session with the kids. Being a boot with a thick insulated liner the Impacts felt very loose when I tried them on and I worked my way down through a few sizes before settling on a 12, which is about middle of the road as boots normally run for me. They have a two belt system… Full review
The North Face Men's Storm Mid WP
Best boot for those with Haglund's. I have a hard time finding comfortable boots because I have Haglund's deformity (pump bump). Nowadays every pair of hiking boots has a hard heel area. The NF Storms have a soft and well padded heel area. I tried on every boot I could find at multiple stores and this was the only one that was not going to irritate the bump on the back of my foot. Also, they are very comfortable right out of the box. No break-in period at all. They do run very small. I usually order… Full review

I signed up for combined billing with AT&T and just got a letter in the mail yesterday confirming it. It does clearly state that your contract is extended 12 months IF you have less than 12 months remaining on your contract.
I received the same in the mail Monday, but I still like ~20 months on my recent contract. You may want to call DirecTV back to make sure your HD credit will still take place. I called because I was curious and didn't want to miss out on the deal. Since AT&T billing was taking over, the credit had been removed. Took just a few seconds for rep to add it back.

I'm sitting here, realizing this is my second New Year's on my blog (you can see last year's here, if you are morbidly or otherwise interested), which seems completely bizarre but pretty great at the same time. Sifting through all this year's posts yesterday, I realized how much has really gone down here and I've loved every moment of it.
So, yes. Sappiness. I very much appreciate you all reading (aka, tolerating) my stuff and wish you a very happy new year and hope your tortur—I mean, team of choice does well in 2012. Provided their name is not Dodgers or Angels or Red Sox or Phillies or Cardinals. (Just kidding, guys. I will attempt- and perhaps fail, but attempt all the same- to love your team no matter who they are.)
Okay. Now that that's out of the way! Let do the whole resolution thing.
First, last year's resolutions:
1. I resolve to visit my grandparents in Los Angeles without fighting over whether Wilson or Broxton is a better closer. (DID NOT SUCCEED. ALSO, UNFORTUNATELY, STARTED LOATHING WILSON.)
2. I resolve to dissolve my life savings and go to Citi Field or Yankee Stadium. (DID NOT SUCCEED.)
3. I resolve to carry a sign to an A's vs. Rangers game and get the object of my sign to autograph it. (DO NOT SUCCEED. BUT DID GET A C.J. WILSON AUTOGRAPH, ON THE UPSIDE, THAT PROMPTLY RUBBED OFF, AS SOON AS HE WALKED AWAY.)
4. I resolve to crash the 2011 GM Meetings. (DID NOT SUCCEED.)
5. I resolve to repeat my feat of walking over every inch of AT&T Park in stilettos. (DID NOT SUCCEED.)
Huh. Apparently those didn't go so well.
No matter! I have a whole new slightly more reasonable batch now and a whole new year (well, whole assuming the world doesn't, you know, end, seeing as it's 2012) to get them done. Here we go:
1. I will follow Joey Martinez's career with eagle eyes and be his #1 cheerleader.
2. I will go to sleep 10+ times to the sound of Jon Miller and Dave Flemming's voice.
3. I will paint portraits of all the Giants. (Okay, fine. Probably not.)
4. I will finally, completely, actually finish A Band of Misfits. Yes, I got it after the 2010 season. Yes, I have not finished it. Yes, it's still sitting on top of my bookshelf. Yes, I am not exactly motivated.
5. I will covert my fish into a baseball fan. It can be done. I have faith.
See? Are those awesome or are those awesome? And kinda-sorta potentially achievable, too. I am also going to try to call Brian Sabean until his phone message quota cracks, but I'm trying to make this list mega-achievable and all that so I left that one off.
On another note, I have to warn you that I will probably post an enormous number of posts next year if I continue on my current track record, which is 71 in 2010 and 245 this year. Forewarned is forearmed.
Anyhow, Happy New Year once more! Let's all make 2012 fabulous, shall we?

In other topics included in the mayor's Sunrise Rotary speech, he pointed out the new Cleveland Regional Jetport is a general aviation airport able to land corporate aircraft. He also pointed out that of the 10 metro areas in Tennessee, the Cleveland and Bradley County area is the fastest growing.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Pakistan trains 8,000 to protect nuclear arsenal
By Sebastian Abbot
Associated Press / November 7, 2011
ISLAMABADa**Pakistan is training 8,000 additional people to protect the
country's nuclear arsenal, which the U.S. fears could be vulnerable to
penetration by Islamist militants at war with the West, the Pakistani
military said.
Those fears were heightened by a recent U.S. magazine article that
quoted unnamed Pakistani and American officials as saying Pakistan
transports nuclear weapons components around the country in delivery
vans with little security to avoid detection -- a claim denied by
Pakistan insists its nuclear arsenal is well-defended, and the
widespread fear among many Pakistanis is that the main threat stems not
from al-Qaida or the Taliban, but from suspected U.S. plans to seize the
country's weapons. These fears were heightened by the covert U.S. raid
that killed Osama bin Laden in Pakistan in May.
Washington has insisted it has no plans to seize Pakistan's weapons. But
the recent article in The Atlantic magazine quoted unnamed American
military and intelligence officials as saying the U.S. has trained
extensively for potential missions in Pakistan to secure nuclear weapons
or material that fall into the wrong hands.
Pakistan rarely reveals details about its nuclear program or the
security around it. The announcement by the Pakistani military that it
is training an additional 8,000 people to protect the nuclear arsenal
could be seen as a response to the magazine article.
"This (group) comprises hand-picked officers and men, who are physically
robust, mentally sharp and equipped with modern weapons and equipment,"
said the Pakistani military in a written statement Sunday.
The statement was released in conjunction with the graduation of 700 of
these security personnel. The ceremony was attended by Maj. Gen.
Muhammad Tahir, head of security for the Strategic Plans Division -- the
arm of the Pakistani military tasked with protecting the nuclear
Tahir "reiterated that extensive resources have been made available to
train, equip, deploy and sustain an independent and potent security
force to meet any and every threat emanating from any quarter,"
according to the statement.
The Pakistani Foreign Ministry also put out a statement Sunday calling
the allegations in the article in The Atlantic "pure fiction."
Fear that the U.S. could seize Pakistan's nuclear weapons is driven by
widespread anti-Americanism in the country. Despite billions of dollars
in American aid, 69 percent of people in the country view the U.S. as an
enemy, according to a poll conducted by the U.S.-based Pew Research
Center in June. The poll had a margin of error of plus or minus 4
percentage points.
The U.S. Embassy said Monday that it has confidence that Pakistan is
aware of the range of threats to its nuclear arsenal and has given high
priority to securing its weapons and material.
It quoted President Barack Obama as saying in March that he feels
"confident about Pakistan's security around its nuclear weapons
programs. But that doesn't mean that there isn't improvement to make in
all of our nuclear security programs."
Classified American diplomatic documents released by WikiLeaks last
December indicated that the U.S. was concerned that Islamist militants
could get their hands on Pakistani nuclear material to make an illicit
Pakistan is producing nuclear weapons at a faster rate than any other
country in the world, according a memo from December 2008.
An article in the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists in July estimated
that Pakistan has a nuclear weapons stockpile of 90-110 nuclear
warheads. The country first successfully conducted a nuclear weapons
test in 1998 in response to the nuclear program of its archenemy India.
The U.S. has pushed Pakistan to increase security at its nuclear
facilities but has sometimes encountered difficulty. Islamabad agreed
"in principle" in 2007 to an operation to remove highly enriched uranium
from a Pakistani nuclear reactor, but it was never carried out because
of domestic opposition, said a May 2009 diplomatic cable.
Pakistan said in response that it refused the operation because its own
nuclear security would prevent the material from getting into the wrong
Militants have continued their attacks throughout Pakistan. A suicide
bomber detonated his explosives Monday as a former government official
greeted others outside a mosque in northwestern Pakistan on an important
Islamic holiday, killing the official and his guard, police said.
The blast after morning prayers in Swabi district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
province when the attack occurred, said Ijaz Khan, a senior local police
officer. Malik Hanif Khan Jadoon and his guard were killed and nine
others were wounded, said Khan.
Jadoon used to be a senior official in Swabi and was a member of the
Awami National Party, a Pashtun nationalist party whose members have
often been targeted by the Pakistani Taliban.

Peshawar, Pakistan.

The Senate, by a unanimous vote of 51-0, passed House Bill No. 48, which is titled "The Mississippi Youth Concussion Law", Thursday. The bill went through the Mississippi House of Representatives two weeks ago and was passed by an overwhelming vote of 117-1.
The bill will now be presented to Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant, where he can either sign it or veto it. If Bryant signs the bill, it will go into law on July 1.
In the law, if any athlete shows signs of a concussion he must be removed from the game or practice immediately. The athlete must be evaluated by a licensed physician and can only return once he or she doesn't have any more symptoms of a concussion and is cleared by the physician. It also enables people to learn more about concussions and the risk of concussions in youth sports through a concussion education course endorsed by the State Department of Heath. Parents or guardians shall receive and sign a concussion policy before the start of the school year.
The law would apply to athletes of all sports in grades 7-12 playing in the Mississippi High School Activities Association and the Mississippi Association of Independent Schools. The MHSAA and the MAIS have already had policies in place and are currently going by guidelines set by the National Federation of High Schools, which should make the transition of the schools, schools districts and organizations abiding the law much easier.

Da Vinci Robotic Surgery Center
Palmetto Health expands upon a history of innovation and technology by offering the area's only
da Vinci® robotic-assisted surgery, the most advanced form of minimally invasive surgery. Our experienced team of surgeons has performed over 3,400 da Vinci surgeries. This advanced technique may be used for many gynecology, urology, pediatric, colorectal and gynecology/oncology surgeries.
By choosing a da Vinci® procedure, patients may experience the following benefits:
- Smaller surgical incisions (typically 1–2 cm)
- Reduced blood loss and need for transfusions
- Less post-operative pain and discomfort
- Less risk of infection
- Shorter hospital stay
- Faster recovery and return to normal daily activities
How does the da Vinci® Robotic Surgical System work?
The da Vinci® Surgical System consists of an ergonomically designed surgeon's console, a patient cart with four interactive robotic arms, a high-performance vision system and patented EndoWrist® instruments. It is designed to enhace the surgeon's capabilities with high-definition 3D vision and a greatly magnified view.
Your doctor controls the da Vinci® System, which translates his or her hand movements into smaller, more precise movements of tiny instruments inside your body. Though it is often called a "robot", the da Vinci® Surgical System cannot act on its own. Instead, the surgery is performed entirely by your doctor. Together, da Vinci® technology allows your doctor to perform complex procedures through a few tiny openings and to operate on areas of the body that are not easily accessible with usual surgical techniques.

No one wants to be the girl who cant afford concert tickets, let alone college. Sometimes the stress of seeing how fast bills add up for tuition, textbooks, and all the extras of college life is more than girls can handleand thats when get-rich-quick ideas get very tempting. My friend and I used to joke, Wouldnt it be nice to have some sugar daddy pay for everything? says Lauren*, 22, from Boston, Massachusetts. But half of me thought, 'Yeah, it would be nice.'
Girls who are paid for dates with older men are called sugar babies, and sites that make connections between the two, like seekingarrangement.com and sugardaddie.com, are gaining more popularityespecially on prestigious college campuses. In fact, 44 percent of seekingarrangement.coms users are students, and universities like Georgia State, Temple, and Columbia are among the fastest-growing schools on the site. I heard about sugaring years ago, on MTVs True Life, remembers Ava*, 20, from New York. My tuition bills were huge, and it sounded so easy on the show, so I signed up.
If youre frantic to make ends meet, big paydays offered by sugaring may sound great, but there is significant danger girls risk tremendous harm, from assault to rape. Any guy who has to pay for dates is obviously a weirdo, says Katie*, 19, from San Francisco, California, who accepted a date for payoff on Craigslist. There are a lot of skeevy guys out there.
As an out-of-state student, Ava had tuition bills that were too high for her family, even with financial aid and paychecks from her two work-study jobs. I have siblings who need to go to school, too, Ava says. So without telling anyone, she signed up on seekingarrangement.com last year.

I love the wide variety of canned soup flavors that is available, but sometimes it's easier just to get something simple. After trying many different kinds of soup in the Campbell's Select Harvest line, I decided to go for a more classic flavor from Campbell's Select Harvest Light Vegetable and Pasta Soup.
This soup seemed to be a good fit for me because I enjoy both vegetables and pasta. The pasta pieces are made with whole grain and are quite large. The vegetable mix was pretty traditional with peas, carrots, tomatoes, etc. They tasted great but had a muted color that comes from being canned. I liked the lightness of the broth, but it is chicken stock, which may not jive with vegetarians.
A 1 cup serving of Campbell's Select Harvest Light Vegetable and Pasta Soup provides 60 calories, no fat, 20% of the daily value for sodium (which curiously is the same amount in some other brands touted as Low Sodium, like Progresso Reduced Sodium Italian Style Wedding Soup). There is also 16% of the daily value for fiber and 3 grams of protein.
Campbell's Select Harvest line of soups is made with real ingredients, and no artificial flavors or MSG. An 18.6 ounce can normally costs $2.89 at Kroger, but I bought it on sale using coupons (we mentioned here). This soup has less salt than other soups, but it's important to note that a whole can still has 40% DV sodium.
The soup was light yet filling and wonderful for a cold day. I would definitely buy it again.

Since their inception in the late 1920's, the Harlem Globetrotters have been one of the hottest sports tickets around. They are also one of the few sports teams associated with a song. As soon as you hear Brother Bones whistle "Sweet Georgia Brown" you immediately think of the athleticism and theatrics of the Harlem Globetrotters.
Some of the most renowned Globetrotters include Wilt Chamberlain, Connie Hawkins, Curly Neal, Reece Tatum, and Marques Haynes. Of course the most famous Harlem Globetrotter of them all is George "Meadowlark" Lemon. He was part of the Harlem Globetrotters roster for 22 years.
Here's some trivia for you, the Harlem Globetrotters are not from Harlem. In fact, the Globetrotters didn't play in Harlem until 1968. While their exact beginnings are murky, what is known is the team started on the South Side of Chicago, Illinois and Globetrotters tickets were sold at the famed Savoy Ball Room—the team entertained fans before dances.
Somehow, Abe Saperstein became involved with team and by 1929 he had the Harlem Globetrotters on tour in Illinois and Iowa. The name "Harlem" was adopted because at the time the Manhattan neighborhood was the center of African-American culture. Also, a team from out-of-town was mysterious and therefore sold more tickets.
The Harlem Globetrotters started as a serious basketball team but eventually developed a style that was a mix of hoop and humor. Nowadays, you want Harlem Globetrotters tickets to see their hilarious antics as much as you want to see them play an exciting brand of basketball.
The Harlem Globetrotters schedule hundreds of games a year in both the United States and around the world. For most Globetrotter tours, the team plays a squad of stooges although both parties claim the games are highly competitive.
The Globetrotters have played professional and college teams through the years with varying levels of success. Counting all their games, the Globetrotters claim to have more than 22,000 wins with around 350 losses. Due to their talents as both athletes and entertainers, as well as their family appeal, the Globetrotters have earned the honor and responsibility of being basketball's preeminent ambassadors.

I think the Dish GUI is far more informative. However, I prefer to see the logos. This is another case of having a toggle on/off option in the menu for those that don't like them.

In a shockingly good move for the post-Theo-Epstein Red Sox, they unloaded a lot of players on the Dodgers and then basically laughed all the way to the bank. They got James Loney, 'cause he's lonely and they felt badly or whatever and a nice quad of prospects as well. The Dodgers got one of the biggest busts in recent baseball memory, Carl Crawford, who also recently underwent Tommy John surgery. They got Josh Beckett, who's not really (at all) that good and Nick Punto who's probably extremely talented at many things, but baseball is not necessarily one of them. (I kid, I kid. All Major Leaguers are extremely talented, of course, Nick Punto included. But still). Last but not least, they got Adrian Gonzalez who's batting .300, compared to the .254 average that Loney was sporting. It's an upgrade, but with all the money the Dodgers are dropping – which, according the LA Times is over a quarter of a billion dollars – they could have gotten millions of tall Dark Roasts at Starbucks or hundreds of thousands of Victoria Beckham handbags or, say, some really good ballplayers. They did none of the above.
Never fear, Giants fans. The National League West did not just get significantly better. It just got significantly less coffee.
Diamond Girl
p.s. If you're not really a coffee person, a) leave this blog now or b) imagine how much of that divine Iced Lemon Pound Cake at Starbucks they could also have gotten. I can't seem to find the price of that online, but let's just say they could have gotten enough to feed the entire crowd at Dodger Stadium for a hundred years or so. Especially considering the size of an average Dodger Stadium crowd. (Low blow? Yes. True blow? Yes to that too.)

Welcome from the Ohio University Student Senate! The Ohio University Student Senate is the unicameral student government of Ohio University, made up of senators and delegates from campus-wide organizations and communities. For a complete roster of voting and non-voting members, please click the "Members" button in the navigation bar.
President Meg Marzec
Vice President Caitlyn McDaniel
Treasurer Zainab Kandeh
"On Wednesday, November 12, 2014 I got a copy of The Post, flipped to the inside pages and saw a picture of Student Senate Vice President Cailtlyn McDaniel, President Megan Marzec and Academic Affairs Commissioner Jolana Watson, however, The Post had labeled Watson as Zainab Kandeh.
For the last week I have been racking my brain and reflecting on why and how such an egregious mistake could have happened. To give you all some background knowledge I too am a journalist like my peers at The Post. When I was looking for colleges at the age of 17, Ohio University was on the top of my list. The information I received made me feel like this was the place that was going to turn me into the journalist that I wanted to be and throughout my time on campus, my professional experiences as a writer and activities outside of the classroom I believe that's happened.
With all that being said, as a trained journalist, as a woman of color, as someone who cares about the well being of all students it did not feel right to let last Wednesday's incident slide. Though Post editor, Jim Ryan explained how the issue happened and the steps The Post will take, "to continually uphold the high standards expected of us," (quote Ryan directly in Friday, November 14, 2014's editorial) what I would like to address tonight is why the root of what happened is more than what The Post cited as a "photo accuracy error" and what we can do together to correct an error that is symptomatic of a problem that predates all of us in this room but together we can remedy because while I am not the first person this has happened to, as The Post admitted, I certainly hope with your help to be the last.
On November 12, 2014, The Post ran a story about Student Senate titled; Resolution up for vote will reduce meetings, on the third page that featured a photo of Caitlyn McDaniel, Megan Marzec and Jolana Watson, respectively, the photo labeled Watson, an African American female, as me. The cutline below the picture read, "Student Senate Vice President Caitlyn McDaniel, President Megan Marzec and Treasurer Zainab Kandeh pose for a portrait."
The picture that The Post ran was taken during the spring of the 2013-2014 academic school year when Caitlyn McDaniel, Megan Marzec and Jolana Watson ran on a Student Senate election ticket together. During that time I happened to be running on an opposing ticket and also had my photo taken and published by The Post during this same calendar year. Despite having been awarded the Top Undergraduate of 2014 during the Spring Leadership Gala, featured in the "It's Y [] U campaign where my face hung in Baker for a year, this semester's Homecoming Queen and most recently Scripps Next Top, all things I believe serve as a testament to the dedication from my parents, mentors, motivation from all my peers and the caliber of students OU cultivates, there is no excuse I can possibly imagine as to why that photo was approved by several people, sent to the printer and then published online. Why didn't anyone check? The basic cardinal rule in writing, in journalism, when giving information is to check.
Though The Post had corrected the identification error on the website they initially changed the cutline to read, "Student Senate Vice President Caitlyn McDaniel, President Megan Marzec and candidate for Treasurer Jolana Watson pose for a portrait." On the surface this is bad journalism. In it's flesh it may have been oversight but at its root the new cutline was still disrespectful in that it marginalized and erased my identity as the actual treasurer in that there is no candidate but I exist.
Later that evening around 10:00 p.m., when I checked The Post website, the second cutline had been removed but the picture still remained. Though at the very bottom of the online story, The Post listed a correction saying that they had incorrectly labeled Jolana Watson as Zainab Kandeh, the innuendo from the face of the story still leads audiences to believe that Jolana is actually me. For first year students, transfer students and the readers of The Post who do no know me or what I look like, the picture still remaining on the website gives the belief before you read to the bottom of the page that Jolana is me.
Now what can be said about not correcting the online version is that it changes what happened or erases that it occurred, however, in instances like these at other papers, an editor's note has sat higher on the page explaining the issues and adds that there is an addition to the story but I am not telling The Post how to run their paper.
[READ THE CORRECTION from Thursday November 13]
A correction clearly explains and sheds light on what occurred, this did not.
On Friday, November 14 in the editorial that Jim Ryan did tell me he was going to write after two initial meetings, he admitted to the photo being an error. Ryan said the mistake was "cringe-inducing" and "idiotic." He did admit that this was not the first time, even this semester, that The Post had mislabeled people of varying gender and skin color. He did state the fact that they had mislabeled a picture involving two black women and finally he said, "the mistake was one that stemmed from a lack of thoroughness from our editorial staff. It is an isolated incident that is not indicative of systemic racial insensitivity."
I will say that I do not believe in any way that The Post is racist. I do not believe that the error came from a place of malice or was intentional but I believe that it simply comes from a place of ignorance and not the kind of ignorance in which one is not open to learning but simply doesn't know.
I understand a glitch in the system. I understand late night editing, I understand mistakes and errors because no one is infallible and I've made them myself. As students at an institution for learning that is the purpose of education to learn from your mistakes, however, throughout the week I have gone back and forth, even from my thinking as a journalist to how an error so egregious happened in the first place, was not caught and in my opinion not properly dealt with.
I asked myself if Carter Phillips, my predecessor, who is a white male was still in office would they have mislabeled Jolana as him in the photo with Caitlyn and Megan because I shutter to think that it was so easily assumed that another African-American-Ohio University-female student standing with Caitlyn and Megan, without a thought or a care was passed through the hands of many and marked as me.
Learning from the past and looking to the future the question is how do we get better? The Post is taking it upon themselves to improve their order of operations but I believe and my experiences have taught me that it take so much more than that.
By diversifying our newsrooms, our friend groups, the literature we read we stomp out the room for ignorance to continue to fester.
As writers, readers, peers, students, leaders, faculty, staff, administration, community and global citizens I challenge us all, myself included to pay closer attention. I hope moving forward, not only for The Post but for others that ethics and integrity will always ask, "is this correct and have I checked." And I hope the answer is always yes. Furthermore in times when mistakes are made I hope empathy motivates us to be vulnerable enough to try to understand and simply write and or say I'm sorry. Publically, myself or Jolana did not receive that but moving forward together as Bobcats I hope gestures and responsibilities like these are not too much to only ask and require but to also expect."

I was nine years old when my Mom started the agency. That was 1992, twenty years ago.
She really had no money, and everyone had to pitch in. I remember she used to drive me to parking lots outside of expensive grocery stores and let me put brochures under the windshield wipers of good looking cars. That's how we got our first clients.
"Plyometrics means jump training, we're talking lateral movement, forward movement, back and forward, up and down, all around, burning calories... this is x city." Where?
"Get your bucket ready..." What? What's the bucket for?
"Tip of the day, think like a cat. I want you to land softly." Mmm, okay yes, like a cat. Oh yea, I'm feeling this. I leap gently off my right foot and land softly on my left. And he said I'd need a bucket.
5 minutes later: Wait, where'd this sweat come from?
My name is Tracey Crosby. Let me tell you about this disease and how it has affected me. My grandma was my world from the time I was 2 until this disease took her from me. I was her 3 grandchild ( 4 in total). All the other kids where my grandpa's buddies, but where ever grandma was found I was with her. We spent many summers going to garage sales, fishing, cooking the fish, mowing the yard, watching Wheel of Fortune, doing cross-word puzzles and attending church every Wed. night, Sunday morning and Sunday night.

9/11's losses and lessons
The tragedy unleashed on September 11, 2001 was of staggering proportions. Some 3,000 people lost their lives at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon alone. These disasters have presented Americans with a new grim reality: We are not invincible. Even before the attacks, this message was being telegraphed by a slumping economy brought down by the collapse of an unsustainable "irrational exuberance."
Adapting to this reality has been a humbling experience. It has led to the institution of procedures that have raised costs and produced inconveniences as intrusive as intensive airline security checks or as annoying as the need to walk farther because a formerly accessible entrance is now locked. While 9/11 prompted a re-evaluation of physical security, perhaps its greatest underlying lesson was a demonstration of how the power of individuals working together can be harnessed to address a compelling need.
Marking the one-year anniversary of 9/11/01, a special 12-page section starting on p. 40 views the terrorist events and their aftermath from the perspective of individuals who have been connected with them. One message that comes across clearly is the dedication shown by members of the construction community.
Fredric Bell, executive director of the New York City Chapter of American Institute of Architects, notes that the WTC site was cleared not only quickly, but also with no further injury or loss of life. The work was performed with respect not only for the victims, but also for families of individuals whose remains were not found. Contractors working on the site were mindful that they were not adequately covered by liability or Good Samaritan laws. Members of the design community, particularly structural engineers, gave unstintingly of their time and talent.
Within two weeks of the attacks, 21 groups representing New York architects, engineers, planners and community organizations — despite their differences — had joined forces under the banner of "New York New Visions."
The aftermath of 9/11 demonstrated the impact that such coalitions can exert on public officials. It changed the balance of power by moving the planning process for rebuilding from orchestration by a single design firm to an open competition in which five firms will be selected to present their proposals for the redevelopment of lower Manhattan.
