Former Anonymous member convicted in attacks against PayPal, MasterCard, Visa and more
A 22-year-old U.K. man was convicted for his involvement in a series of distributed denial-of-service attacks launched by the hacktivist group Anonymous against PayPal, MasterCard, Visa and other companies in 2010.
Christopher Weatherhead, of Northampton, U.K., was convicted Thursday at London's Southwark Crown Court on one count of conspiracy to impair the operation of computers, contrary to the U.K. Criminal Law Act of 1977, the U.K.'s Crown Prosecution Service said in a blog post.
Visa pushes for two-factor authenticated transactions
Payment technology company Visa is attempting to drive Australian uptake of its 3-D Secure offering, which adds more security to online payment transactions to reduce credit card fraud.
Last month, a joint strike force took down a counterfeit credit card manufacturing operation in Sydney, New South Wales, potentially stopping AU$5 million in fraudulent transactions. But what has Visa worried is the increase in online fraud, which is categorised as "card not present" frauds. This makes up 71 per cent of credit card fraud that is committed in Australia.
WikiLeaks back open for donations through French Carte Bleue system
After almost two years of fighting an unlawful banking blockade by US financial giants VISA and MasterCard, WikiLeaks has announced it is back open for donations using the French credit card system, Carte Bleue.
The Wau Holland Transparency Reports for WikiLeaks' finances, released today, illustrate that the blockade resulted in WikiLeaks' income falling to just 21% of its operating costs. WikiLeaks has been forced to run on its cash reserves which have diminished from EUR 800,000 at the end of December 2010, to less than EUR 100,000 at the end of June 2012.
Visa threatens banks over spammer accounts
Visa has begun threatening banks that harbour spammer accounts in a move designed to crush the spam revenue model.
The initiative, described as a "major effort", had been quietly underway since the start of the year and has already forced the closure of accounts held by major spam players.
Vodafone to roll out mobile payments with Visa
Vodafone and Visa have announced a worldwide partnership that will enable the carrier's subscribers to pay for goods and services using their mobile phones instead of coins and banknotes.
The deal will see the two companies working together to develop a Vodafone-branded proposition that will be offered to consumers across Vodafone's customer base of 398m subscribers in more than 30 countries on five continents. The service will run on Visa's payment network and will use the payments network's product suite and brand.

Lucas Prillaman Loves Everything About Patrick Henry Community College
Lucas Prillaman – Patrick Henry Community College
My name is Lucas Prillaman and I am a freshman at Patrick Henry Community College (PHCC) in Martinsville, Virginia. So far I have loved being in school here; the atmosphere, the people, everything about it. After graduation, I plan to transfer to a four-year university.
My decision to attend community college was influenced by a plethora of things. I am the middle of three children and realize that college can be expensive. With the lower cost of PHCC and the many scholarships available I knew this would not be much of a burden on my parents.
They also committed to a soccer program, making them the first National Junior College Athletic Association soccer team in the state. This definitely made me happy as I love the game.
Being in a smaller school, and being able to participate in something I love made the transition from high school to college much easier. Transitions and large changes are something that I don't always handle well, but this one has been terrific. When I decided to attend PHCC I applied for one of their prestigious awards, the Patrick Henry Patriot Scholarship. This award goes to a few of the top high school students that have made the decision to go to PHCC and provides them with full tuition as well as other opportunities.
One of these opportunities came up during my second semester as I was given the chance for a legislative visit to Richmond. On the trip I was able to meet with Delegate Charles Poindexter and Delegate Don Merricks, both of whom took interest in our lives and stories. They also were able to give us some insight into their thinking and how the legislative process is going thus far.
With their influence on us, I hope we were able to leave some influence on them, and allow them to realize how vital community college is to those who attend. I thoroughly enjoyed my trip to Richmond, as it allowed me to see many of the beautiful sights of our beautiful State and capital and a chance to expand my horizons. It was an amazing and rewarding opportunity.

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.

Subject: Diary for Comment: Yemen - The U.S.-Saleh Dilemma
*Probably need help to bring it to the diary level. Suggestions
The focus of Mondaya**s domestic and global news continued to center
on the international parcel bombing plot originating out of Yemen that
targeted the United States, first discovered on Oct. 29. Potential
suspects have been apprehended and released and current leads
regarding the possible culprits appear to have, at least in open
source news in Yemen and abroad, grown stale.
Nevertheless, all fingers point to the Yemeni al Qaeda franchise node,
al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula [AQAP], the militant Islamist group
now largely considered by U.S. federal and international intelligence
and security officials as more of a security threat than al
Qaeda-prime based in the Afghanistan-Pakistan region. Indeed, the
similar explosive material and detonators used in the bombs as well as
the choice to deploy hidden explosives aboard air transit all indicate
the group is behind the plot as does the fact the parcels originated
in Sanaa**a.
The most recent terrorist attempt demonstrates a couple of key points
about al Qaeda in Yemen. First, AQAP continues to maintain a knack for
creating innovative ways to carry out attacks against both contiguous
countries in the Arab Gulf and more distant targets. Second, it has
also proven that the group's operational ambit is by no means limited
to the scope of Yemena**s borders, and that it maintains the ability
to sow terror in the West almost as easily as it can at home, whether
it be through potential bombings or encouraging grassroots terrorism.
Naturally, both are of a tremendous concern to the United States and
the West. And, naturally, President Obama and the U.S. cannot stand
idly by while AQAP continues to threaten its domestic security.
Indeed, there is little doubt that President Obama and his national
security team are looking for ways to ratchet up pressure against
Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh to take decisive action against al
Qaeda in Yemen. This is especially true since there have yet to be any
decisive gains against the group evidenced by the fact that few, if
any, high-profile members of the group have been captured or killed
since military operations began in earnest against AQAP in December
However, Americaa**s ability to increase pressure against the
long-running president to act is undoubtedly limited by a few factors.
First, President Saleh has little room for additional domestic
backlash to his rule that may be caused by more direct military
operations against AQAP. Already operating from a position of relative
isolation and increasingly unpopular among Yemenis, a**Little
Saddama** [a familiar sobriquet given to Saleh for his similarities to
Iraqa**s erstwhile dictator] faces a domestic populace and powerful
tribal confederations fed up with increased civilian casualties and
displacement as a result of his and Americaa**s military actions
against Islamist militants. These operations have served to cripple
the Yemeni Presidenta**s legitimacy among a conservative Muslim
population with strong tribal traditions and religious undertones that
frowns on Western meddling and influence. They have also served al
Qaeda's recruiting efforts by increasing the number of disgruntled
youth and potential recruits to the organization.
Second, Saleha**s decision to directly engage the group militarily and
his collaboration with the U.S. in doing so disrupted his
long-standing tacit agreement/modus vivendi with al Qaeda in Yemen,
causing its current manifestation to declare war against Sanaa.
Nowhere have the effects of this turn of events been more evident in
the southern provinces that have witnessed a steady campaign of
systematic assassination against security and intelligence officials
as well as attacks against their southern headquarters. This new war
only compounds the level of domestic threats against his rule, with
popular secessionist unrest in the south and rumblings of another war
in the restive northern province of Saada. Saleh's military, still
reeling though working to rebuild after the latest round of conflict
with the northern Houthi rebels, is already stretched seriously thin,
thereby further limiting his military course of action against al
If President Saleh proves unwilling to take the requested level of
action against AQAP by the U.S., there is little the latter can do to
force his hand. Despite the fact that he has militarily engaged known
cells of the group directly in recent months, the domestic reality in
Yemen, and the fact that a number of these individuals are being
protected by powerful tribes in areas of the country far outside the
central governmenta**s writ, likely means that this action will be
limited. These factors also eliminate Americaa**s ability to conduct
unilateral military action, as any sort of similar further how about
unilateral U.S. activity in Yemen will likely be met by strong public
disapproval that could strengthen the potential for additional and
perhaps violent domestic backlash.
Already bedeviled with a number of security crises, including a
crippled economy and an impending water crisis on a biblical scale
(probably bad word choice when referring to a Muslim country) , the
last thing President Saleh needs is yet another domestic crisis.
Still, because of the constraints presented by the potential for
collateral damage in any military action against Islamist militants in
Yemen, Saleh will likely pursue a combined tactic of tribal mediation
and brute military force against al Qaeda that will hopefully result
in positive gains against the group. There is little doubt that these
efforts will have a much greater chance of success if the Saudis,
known for their ability to infiltrate and influence militant groups in
its southern neighbor, continue to work with the Yemenis against al
Qaeda. Also, any additional moves by Saleh will likely involve covert
U.S. assistance, though America's involvement in the conflict will
have to remain hidden from public view in the hopes of mitigating
popular resentment and fueling AQAP's violent jihadist narrative of a
war between Islam and the Arab world and the West. There is no quick
and easy solution to Saleha**s political problems or to AQAP.

Emeritus Professor of Accounting
Minnesota is raising the amount of tax for couples using the standard deduction. Now the Minnesota Department of Revenue does not refer to this increase as an increase in tax, just an expiration of conformance with an early 2000 federal law that negated part of the marriage penalty. Early in the Bush administration there was a push to eliminate some of the marriage penalties in the tax law. One such penalty was in the standard deduction, where two single individuals received a much higher combined standard deduction than a married couple.
The federal law did make the standard deduction for a married couple double that of an individual, along with a few other provisions that eliminated some of the other marriage penalties, not all. The Minnesota legislature and governor quickly adopted the standard deduction change as they do most federal changes that affect the calculation of Minnesota taxable income. Well this time they must have put in a sunset provision effective after about ten years, and the ten years are up. I assume the Minnesota legislature seeing a new source of revenue, which would take place without any action on their part, opted for inaction, or were just not aware this happened.
The result is if a married couple or qualifying widow(er) did not itemize but took the standard deduction, there is an add-back to taxable income of $1,950. Those filing as single or head of household have no adjustment. For Mary and I this means an increase of about $146 in our tax liability.
If you itemize your deductions, the adjustment mentioned above will not normally affect you. As usual, the total itemized deductions are reduced by the amount of state income or sales tax claimed as an itemized deduction. The state does not allow a deduction for taxes; income or sales, paid to Minnesota or any other state. The add-back for this state tax is normally limited to the point that the net itemized would not be lower than the standard deduction. For 2011, this limit for married taxpayers is increased by the $1,950.
Who is affected? Since couples who are renters or older with their home mortgages paid off, most likely use the standard deduction, they will be the ones paying the increase. Even though the increase is small, about $98 to about $153, it is annoying and reinstates a marriage penalty that had been eliminated.

Mises Daily
What Granger Overlooked, and Mises Did Not
Two economists who have developed statistical techniques to track economic trends and to measure investment risk—Clive Granger and Robert Engle—were this year awarded the Nobel Prize in economics.
In this article I will be focusing on the contribution of Clive Granger to economics. According to the Nobel committee Granger's important contribution to economic science is his discovery of a phenomenon called cointegration. This discovery, so it is held, enables economists to accurately validate relationships among various economic data.
So what is it all about?
Making sense of economic data
Often we observe that two pieces of data, which are not supposed to have any relationship, appear to have very high visual correlation. For instance, we may discover a strong correlation between the intensity of dog barking and movements in stock prices. One is then tempted to take advantage of this discovery in order to make money in the stock market.
In reality, however, both the barking of the dog and movements of stock indexes have nothing to do with each other. What makes the apparent good correlation is that they are both influenced by an upward long-term trend. Also, fluctuations of these data don't seem to converge around the trend but just seem to move in an upward direction. These types of data statisticians label nonstationary.[1]
In contrast, data that converges around a fixed value is labelled stationary. Data that is stationary implies an unchanged structure, something that is stable and hence one can make sense of it, whereas nonstationary data is associated with irregular fluctuations, which of course makes it very difficult to make any sense of. Thus, if something drifts aimlessly it is not possible to say much about its future course.
Now, if one tries to make sense from data that is irregular obviously one will not get very far. This, however, creates a major problem for economists since it is held that most of the data that economists and financial analysts are employing are not stationary. Consequently, incorporating these types of data into economic analyses leads to misleading results.
For instance, an economist wants to establish the importance of changes in production on people's consumption. The common procedure for this is to apply statistical methods on consumption and production data in order to establish their interrelationship. In short, by means of a statistical technique, also known as regression analysis, one establishes how consumption and production are quantitatively connected to each other. Let us assume that an economist has found that the relationship between consumption and production is summarised by the following mathematical expression:
Consumption = 10 +0.5*Production
Armed with this finding the economist can now tell us the direction of consumption if there is a change in production. Thus, if production is 100 then consumption will be 60 (because 10+0.5*100=60). Economists label the numbers 10 and 0.5 parameters. Observe that the knowledge regarding the size of these parameters, i.e., whether they are 10 and 0.5 or something else is obtained by means of the regression technique.
Note that 10 and 0.5, which have been generated by regression method, are estimates of true parameters in the real world, or so it is held. It is also held that on average these estimates are very close to the true parameters. In short, it is held that any conclusions derived from the equation regarding the relationship between consumption and production are a reflection of reality.
Granger, however, contests this. He argues that no meaningful conclusions can be drawn from the above equation if the data employed in establishing this equation are nonstationary. In plain English, it is counter-productive to establish meaningful conclusions from data that drifts aimlessly. The parameters that one will get from such data will be erroneous and hence the outcome of the analysis will be meaningless. So how does one overcome the problem?
Now, if one could establish a common factor that influences both consumption and production then these two time-series are said to be connected, or cointegrated. Granger and others have shown by means of mathematical and statistical methods that the existence of the common factor makes the interrelationship between non-stationary time series stationary. Thus consumption and production can be observed separately as a non-stationary time series.
Therefore if one tries to establish economic relationships between them one will get misleading answers. However, if one were to suggest that both consumption and production have a common factor then one could infer that over time both consumption and production must move together. This common or cointegrating factor could be that people's well-being requires consumption and production. Moreover, without production there cannot be consumption and without consumption no production is possible.
Another example is an identical good which is trading in different locations. The day-to-day fluctuations in prices may appear to be random in various locations and therefore most likely will not correspond to each other.
However, the existence of arbitrage and the law of supply and demand will make sure that over time prices in various locations will move close to each other. Instead of trying to find out what the cointegrating factor is, Granger and others have produced a mechanized framework, which enables economists to establish whether data complies with cointegration, i.e., whether the relationship between the data makes sense so to speak. Once it is established that the data is cointegrated it can then be incorporated by means of a certain mathematical procedure to establish the correct parameters. [2]
Various statistical results that are produced by means of Granger's framework therefore are regarded as valid since they have been applied on cointegrated data. Granger's discovery raises serious doubts about conclusions regarding economic interrelationships which are reached by means of the old techniques. It also provides a criticism of the popular usage of correlations without attempting to make sense of the relationships.
Granger's framework can be seen as a preventative in minimizing the use of meaningless correlations. For instance, the Granger framework will indicate that movements in the stock market and the intensity of the dog barking cannot be cointegrated and therefore the use of these relationships to make money in the stock market could prove to be a very expensive exercise.
In this respect it could be regarded as bringing back the validity of fundamental analysis. This must be contrasted with the popular way of thinking that fundamental analysis is of little help since the data is of a random, i.e., nonstationary, nature. So it seems that the Granger's framework is a great tool in furthering our understanding of the economic universe.
But is it?
Are there constants in economics?
The major issue that Granger hasn't addressed is not whether the old techniques have been generating valid parameter estimates, but whether such parameters exist at all. In the natural sciences, the employment of mathematics enables scientists to formulate the essential nature of objects. Consequently, within given conditions, the same response will be obtained time and again. The same approach, however, is not valid in economics. For economics is supposed to deal with human beings and not objects. According to Mises,
The experience with which the sciences of human action have to deal is always an experience of complex phenomena. No laboratory experiments can be performed with regard to human action.[3]
In short, people have the freedom of choice to change their minds and pursue actions that are contrary to what was observed in the past. As a result of the unique nature of human beings, analyses in economics can only be qualitative. In other words, there are no parameters in the human universe. Thus Mises wrote, "There are, in the field of economics, no constant relations, and consequently no measurement is possible."[4]
The popular view that human economic activity can be captured by mathematical formulae expressed through fixed parameters implies that human beings are operating like machines. For instance, contrary to the mathematical way of thinking, individual outlays on goods are not "caused" by income as such. In his own context, every individual decides how much of a given income will be used for consumption and how much for savings.
While it is true that people respond to changes in their incomes, the response is not automatic, and it cannot be captured by a mathematical formula. For instance, an increase in an individual's income doesn't automatically imply that his consumption expenditure will follow suit. In short, every individual assesses the increase in income against the goals he wants to achieve. Thus, he might decide that it is more beneficial for him to raise his savings rather than raise his consumption.
At best, mathematical formulations can be seen as a technique to provide a snapshot at a given point in time of various economic data. In this sense it can be seen as a particular way to present historical data. These types of presentations, however, can tell us nothing about the driving causes of human economic activity. What's more, the employment of established historical relations to assess the impact of changes in government policies will produce misleading results notwithstanding Granger's framework.
After all, to assume that a change in government policy will leave the structure of the equations intact would mean that individuals in the economy ceased to be alive and were, in fact, frozen.
In this regard Mises wrote, "As a method of economic analysis econometrics is a childish play with figures that does not contribute anything to the elucidation of the problems of economic reality."[5]

I was new at the monitor business and didn't really know what to expect when Phyllis told me to meet her at a neutral site to fill in the In-Take Sheet. As soon as I met her, I knew she would be perfect for the job of monitoring my ex-wife. Phyllis is five star in every respect when it comes to caring for and monitoring children around parents who require legal monitoring. I had the opportunity to see Phyllis often, and soon realized her qualifications were exemplary. She is caring, considerate, fair, disciplined and a person you can certainly trust to watch your children. I would recommend her under any situation which involves court-ordered monitoring. She provides excellent transportation between the homes, and it is really a worry-free situation when Phyllis is in charge. It started as a business relationship and ended as a friendship. Although I must use only my first name in this testimonial, feel free to call Phyllis for a private reference from me.

The original video has been deleted and is no longer available. Alex Rodriguez suspended for 2014 seasonNEW YORK (AP) - Alex Rodriguez's drug suspension has been cut to 162 games from 211 by arbitrator Fredric Horowitz, a decision that sidelines the New York Yankees third baseman the entire 2014 season. Rodriguez also would be sidelined for any postseason games under the decision announced Saturday. The three-time AL MVP was given the 211-game penalty on Aug. 5 following Major League Baseball's investigation of the Biogenesis of America anti-aging clinic, which was accused of distributing banned performance-enhancing drugs. A-Rod was disciplined by Commissioner Bud Selig under both baseball's drug agreement and its labor contract. The Major League Baseball Players Association filed a grievance, saying the discipline was without "just cause." The 38-year-old Rodriguez could challenge the ruling in federal court, but judges rarely overturn arbitrators' decisions. Despite the ban, baseball's drug rules allow Rodriguez to participate in spring training and play in exhibition games.

Mankato, Minn. – Minnesota State University, Mankato alumna Megan Bearce will be signing copies of her book, "Super Commuter Couples: Staying Together When a Job Keeps You Apart" (Equanimity Press, 2013) from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Tuesday, April 1 at the Barnes & Noble Bookstore in Minnesota State Mankato's Centennial Student Union.
Bearce's books will be available for purchase, and she will also do a question and answer session during the book signing. Refreshments will be provided. Parking is available in the Minnesota State Mankato pay lot near Centennial Student Union or in the free lot on Stadium Road near Monks Avenue.
Earlier on Tuesday, Bearce will speak to various Minnesota State Mankato classes about her experiences after her college graduation, and at 1 p.m. she will be featured on the "Southern Minnesota Midday with Gully" show on KMSU radio (89.7 FM).
Bearce graduated from Minnesota State Mankato in 1996 with a bachelor's degree in accounting. Her complete biography is available on her website. More information about Bearce's book is available at www.SuperCommuterCouples.com, on Facebook and on Twitter.
A recent press release promoting "Super Commuter Couples: Staying Together When a Job Keeps You Apart" asks, "What happens to a family when a job takes a wife or husband away from home for days, weeks or even months at a time?"
The release goes on to discuss how in her book, Bearce addresses the three primary economic factors behind the shift toward super commuting. She provides thoughtful guidance for those couples and families navigating not only the practical aspects, but also the emotional dynamics experienced by families living within the super commuter paradigm. Bearce also provides six pragmatic and actionable guidelines for those couples navigating the often frustrating, and at times disheartening, issues involved when one half of a couple is absent for long periods of time.
For questions about Bearce's visit, please contact Jen Myers, interim director of Alumni Relations & Special Events at Minnesota State Mankato, by phone at 507-389-1794 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Oscar!
Facts about Oscar
- Breed: Dachshund
- Color: Red/Golden/Orange/Chestnut
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Oscar's Info...
I am already neutered, purebred, in need of an experienced adopter, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
**Please Note** This animal is currently in Tennessee. There is a $125 transport fee payable to the transporter upon delivery, that is not included in the adoption fee.
Oscar is a 2 year old male Mini Dachshund. He is a happy, healthy, and loving boy who is now looking for a new home! He has been neutered, micro chipped, heart worm tested, brought current on vaccinations, and will be having a dental cleaning this week! All he needs now is a home and a lap to warm! E-Mail firstname.lastname@example.com for adoption information.
Adoption fee: $400 to help cover the cost of the above vet care
Other Pets at Disney's Dog Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Oscar, a Kittery Dachshund dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Dachshund for sale in Kittery, or seeking a Dachshund dog from a breeder in Kittery.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Kittery already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Kittery breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Dachshund breeders who help with Dachshund rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Kittery paves the way for another one to be saved.

Overall System performance and Gaming
Here is where we dig out the FutureMark tests.
PCMark Vantage
Version and / or Patch Used: 184.108.40.206
Developer Homepage: http://www.futuremark.com/
Product Homepage: http://www.futuremark.com
Buy It Here
For overall system performance we use PCMark Vantage. This is run in both x86 and x64 mode to give the best indication of performance.
The numbers here are very close which brings the fact that a H57 is really not much more than a H55 with RAID on it into sharp focus. Yes, if you ran a RAID 0 set here you might see better performance numbers, but as we see very close performance across the board in terms of general computing tasks, it is hard to account for the different chipset versions.
3DMark Vantage
Version and / or Patch Used: 1.0.1
Developer Homepage: http://www.futuremark.com/
Product Homepage: http://www.futuremark.com
Buy It Here
For synthetic gaming tests we used the industry standard and overlockers bragging tool 3DMark Vantage. This is a test that strives to mimic the impact modern games have on a system. Futuremark went a long way to change from the early days of graphics driven tests to a broader approach including physics, AI and more advanced graphics simulations. 3DMark Vantage uses the DX10 API in addition to having support for PhysX. Due to the PhysX support and our use of an NVIDIA GPU, we run with PhysX enabled and disabled to give you the best indication of real system performance. For testing we use the Performance test run.
Ok, so we see some interesting numbers here that again show the Clarkdale is not meant as an enthusiast gaming GPU (bear in mind that Intel is not pushing it as one either). Still, we do see some great CPU power behind the 3.33GHz dual core CPU; which means that if you are looking to drop in a discrete GPU, then the Core i5 661 will not hinder you on this board.
Cinebench R10 x64
Version and / or Patch Used: R10
Developer Homepage: http://www.maxon.net/
Product Homepage: http://www.maxon.net
Download It Here
Cinebench is a synthetic rendering tool developed by Maxon. Maxon is the same company that developed Cinema4D, another industry leading 3D Animation application. Cinebench R10 tests your systems ability to render across a single and multiple CPU cores. It also tests your systems ability to process OpenGL information.
Again we see very similar scores between the H55 and H57 chipsets; and good ones at that.

Cheryl did all of the make-up for my son's wedding. She even drove to Malibu for us and was on time, professional and did a lovely job! Air brushing the face make-up makes you and your skin look flawless. Especially in the photo's. Thank you Cheryl! You made us all feel Glamorous!
Wedding Date: 4/8/2011
Cheryl is simply FABULOUS!!!! My make up and my daughters make up were absolutely flawless! Cheryl is a true artist and is highly professional. Our pictures came out beautiful and I have her to thank for it. What was really nice was the fact that she uses high quality products....our makeup stayed on all day with a very natural look!! We have used Cheryl again and again for various events and are always stunned at the outcome! Love her work!!!
Wedding Date: 5/19/2012
Cheryl is awesome! She did the make-up for my wedding 5.19.2012, as well as two other weddings I
have been in, and each time was able to give me a different look that went with each event (evening
glam to country natural). She is so sweet, truly listens to what you want, and during the trial is very open
and accommodating to making changes until you get the look you want. She also uses quality make-up
that lasts ALL night. I have oily skin and have trouble with getting my make-up to be long-lasting, but
that wasn't an issue on my wedding day. Air-brushing really does give your face a full coverage, flawless
look while appearing and feeling very light and natural. I highly recommend Cheryl for any type of event
and wouldn't hesitate to work again with her in the future!
Wedding Date: 6/2/2012
I went to a wedding that Cheryl did the make-up for the bride, mother of the bride and all the bridesmaids and was WOWed at how beautiful and natural the make-up looked on everyone! As soon as I got engaged, I knew I wanted Cheryl to do my wedding make-up as well, so I booked her immediately for our wedding at an estate in Murrieta, CA on June 2nd, 2012. Cheryl was prompt, professional, and the sweetest person! She also did my grandmother, mother and maid of honor's make-up... Everyone LOVED how their make-up turned out and she was fast, yet did superb work! The airbrush technique she uses lasts all night and you look just as beautiful at the end of the night as you did right after she finished! I would highly recommend Cheryl to all future brides and anyone looking to be beautified by a great (and affordable) make-up artist!!
Wedding Date: 11/5/2011
I used Cheryl for makeup and Kathy for hair on my wedding day. They both did a fantastic job and I couldn't of been happier! They were so much fun to work with and really listened to what you wanted and made sure it was perfect. They are very professional and down to earth which is really comforting on your big day. They were set-up and ready to go early and made the process very simple. Everyone was pleased with their services and I wouldn't recommend any one else!
Wedding Date: 1/1/0001
Cheryl did the makeup for my sisters wedding in November 2011 and needless to say she made everyone look breath taking. Her airbrush techniques left the whole bridal party looking flawless and my mother looked ten years younger! My sister's wedding began at 3 and went all night; the makeup stayed fresh throughout all of the joyful tears and laughter. Cheryl was so sweet and so much fun to have there to get us dolled up, and I wouldn't recommend anyone else to do your makeup for your wedding!
Wedding Date: 9/24/2011
I got married to my to my love on September 17, 2011 in Fallbrook Ca at Los Willows. I had met Cheryl at my friends wedding down in Carlsbad, see post below. She did an amazing job on me as a bridesmaid I booked her right away to be part of my big day. Cheryl was at my wedding venue before myself and my wedding party and she was ready to go. She did such an incredible job on the make-up of myself and my7 bridesmaids as well as the mother of the bride in less than 6 hours. Not only is she talented and professional but she has this ease about her that is the perfect match for a bride on her big day. I loved how my make-up and my girls make-up turned out I have recommended her for three of my friends weddings that are this year and all of them have booked their special day with Cheryl. I would highly recommend Cheryl and Studio Be for any brides future...
Wedding Date: 2/11/2012
Cheryl did my make up for my February 11, 2012 wedding. I came to my trial with no pictures only a description of my likes and dislikes. She was perfect! She knew exactly what to do. She called the style of make up "old Hollywood glamor" and that was exactly what I was wanting.
I felt truly amazing on my wedding day. My make up was perfect and I looked amazing in the pictures. Cheryl was a delight to work with. Very professional and in tune to my needs. I will definitely use her again in any future special occasions.
Wedding Date: 10/2/2010
I got married to my highschool sweet heart back on October 2, 2010 in Carlsbad, Ca. I found Studio Be as a recommendation through the Sheraton where my husband and I were married. I could not have been any happier with the way my makeup and my bridal party's makeup turned out. Cheryl did an amazing job and I would not have wanted anyone else to do my makeup that day. Cheryl was incredibly professional and on time the day of my wedding. She provided the makeup for my entire bridal party, mother of the bride, mother of the groom, and myself on my wedding day. Everyone looked gorgeous and was ready on time.
I also was recently a bridesmaid for my friend and had recommended her contact Cheryl at Studio Be. Cheryl did all of our makeup for my good friend's wedding and once again did an amazing job. The makeup looks very natural and feels very light on your face. The makeup lasts beautifully through the ceremony and all night long! I would highly recommend Cheryl and Studio Be for any brides future wedding!
Wedding Date: 9/10/2011
Cheryl did my makeup for my recent wedding, and I cannot say enough great things about her. At the trial, I immediately appreciated her calm, positive demeanor - definitely the kind of person you want to be around on your Big Day! After showing her a few pictures, she knew exactly the look I was going for.
On the day of the wedding, she arrived on time, did makeup for both me and my mom, and pulled it off flawlessly. The airbrush and false lashes were a must and, even though I generally don't wear much makeup, it felt very natural. I got so many compliments and was so happy with how it turned out.
I could go on and on - Cheryl is so talented and is a true professional in every sense!
Wedding Date: 8/11/2011
Cheryl at Studio Be did my makeup for my wedding day, which had the challenge of being fresh enough for sunshine on the beach while still looking beautiful in pictures later that evening. Her airbrush technique left my skin radiant, with perfect coverage while not looking like i had any foundation on. She met with me for a trial run and was so patient while I fretted over which colors to use on my big day. She had some great suggestions, which I followed, then on the wedding day she met me at my hotel with her armory of makeup bags and boxes and concentrated fully despite the flurry of friends and photos. She is very sweet and a real professional. I will book her again for an upcoming wedding of a friend!

I found this to be quite harsh on my fine, dry hair. It did not add volume or improve hair condition or growth.
Yes Yes Yes I will buy this again. I am so excited to finally use a shampoo which contains no Sodium sulfate! I was using Nioxin, Nutriox, and Joico Clinicure. I loved Joico but it got discontinued, Nioxin and Nutriox made my hair even more thinlooking and oily within first night of washing. Well Bosley Shampoo and Conditioner works the same as Joico minus the sulfates. I absolutely love washing my hair with Bosley shampoo. I am soley going to review the shampoo here: It cleanses well like a clarifying shampoo, doesnt leave a film behind, and rinses well. It makes my hair a little dry and straw like, so I recommended using a conditioner. The shampoo plumps up my hair, makes my hair look thick, and I can go 2 days without washing my hair. I have even received compliments asking me what I have been using, which is rare because i have the thinnest hair in my family. I highly recommend this shampoo until something better comes along with no sulfates.

A new type of surgery is offering hope to people with brain tumors by using heat to "cook" the cancer.
Patient Ruth Perko recently went through experimental brain surgey.
Instead of doctors removing the a tumor, they insert a tiny laser into the mass and use heat to kill the cancer cells.
"We can monitor the temperature rise in the tumor, second by second, while we're scanning the patient," Dr. Stephen Jones of the Cleveland Clinic explained. "And better than that, we can see where we are killing the tumor."
Click the player to watch the report from CBN News Medical Reporter Lorie Johnson.
Surgeons turn off the laser just before hitting normal tissue, and move to another area. It's a painstaking 12-hour procedure.
Surviving brain cancer is often dependant on where the tumor is located.
Doctors hate to see tumors located in the base of the skull, because it's very difficult to reach that area safely through conventional surgery.
However this type of brain surgery allows surgeons to get to tumors that would otherwise be deemed inoperable.
The laser probe is small enough to go where human hands cannot.
"This allows us to steer the laser in different directions, to treat larger areas of tumor and protect normal brain," said Dr. Gene Barnett.
So far only four people have undergone the surgery, but all have done well, and government regulators are expected to approve the technique later this year.

New heat pump needs new blower motor-worried?
posted by: route502 on 02.05.2012 at 03:12 am in Heating & Air Conditioning Forum Hello- we just had a new heat pump installed in September - right away I noticed a loud/ low metallic sound at shutdown.
Living a Arizona we did not use it long before the heat subsided and it was off for quite awhile - once it cooled down and we turned it back on - noise was still there. Original installer came out and said the blower motor needed replaced. Should I be worried? It seems like a lot of money to put down on a new item only to find out that this part was seemingly bad from the start. is this a sign of things to come? Any insight is appreciated. NOTES: <none>

Then, more on the background and "reasons for" the merger. Funny, none of the bullet points include reference to a better bargaining position with retailers....
Chiquita Background to and Reasons for the Merger
The Combination will create a leading global produce company with approximately $4.65 billion in combined annual revenues and a presence in key markets around the world. The Combination is consistent with Chiquita's strategic goal of focusing on core products and delivering greater operating efficiency. The combined company will more efficiently serve customers and better meet their demands. It will also, in the Chiquita Board's judgment, have a stronger foundation and be better able to deliver enhanced shareholder value, by:
- Having an enhanced scale, scope and portfolio diversity;
- Delivering a wider scope of produce more efficiently to key markets around the world;
- Optimizing the combined company's capital structure and cash flow for debt repayment;
- Combining the best of both companies, including their respective management talent; and
- Benefitting from operational efficiencies and cost savings, generating at least $40 million in annualized recurring before tax overhead and operational synergies by the end of 2016.6 In addition to reducing administrative costs and other overhead expenses, these recurring annual synergies are anticipated to comprise of efficiencies in the areas of fruit utilization, shipping, port operations, packaging and procurement.
- In addition to the benefits for customers, the Combination is expected to be accretive to shareholders of both companies on a net income basis no later than the first full calendar year after consummation, having regard to the anticipated synergies (please see paragraph 9 (Merger Benefit Statement) of this announcement).
Then, from Fyfees:
Fyffes Background to and Reasons for Recommending the Scheme Transaction
The Fyffes Board believes the Combination, if successfully completed, will create a major global banana and other fresh produce company. It is the opinion of the Fyffes Board that Fyffes and Chiquita are a natural fit, given their complementary activities, respective geographic reach and their industry understanding. The combined Fyffes and Chiquita knowledge of farming, procurement, shipping, ripening and distribution ensures that ChiquitaFyffes will be well placed to build an organisation that can operate smoothly and efficiently, encourage growth in its industry, create synergies, satisfy customers' expectations and generate returns for shareholders. Additionally, the combined company will retain its leading position in the U.S. retail and packaged salads market.

John Hogan on Fiduciary Responsibility
Disability Attorney John Hogan has gone above and beyond in his efforts to help the retired disabled players. John has recently helped several players with their re-applications under this year's disability plan. (You can read more about John by visiting his website by clicking HERE.) In case anyone doesn't understand fiduciary responsibility and the legal and moral responsibility it carries with it:
The jury in the retired players' class action lawsuit found that the NFLPA and Players, Inc. violated their duty of loyalty and care to the retired players with regard to licensing and marketing their GLAs. Judge Alsup repeatedly reminded the attorneys out of the presence of the jury, that the class action did not involve other areas of contention between the parties such as disability and pension benefits. Have the NFLPA and the NFL violated similar fiduciary duties to retired players seeking benefits under the Bell/Rozelle Retirement Plan?
Section 8.8 of the Plan provides "The Retirement Board and the Disability Initial Claims Committee will discharge their duties with respect to the Plan and Trust solely and exclusively in the interest of the Players and their beneficiaries, and with the care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing that a prudent man acting in a like capacity and familiar with such matter would use in the conduct of an enterprise of like character and with like aims. …" While the late Gene Upshaw and the NFLPA have taken most of the heat for the failings of the disability system under the Plan, it should be noted that the Bell/Rozelle Retirement Plan is a joint venture with the NFL Management Council, and the ex-officio Chair of the Retirement Board is the NFL Commissioner. (Plan section 8.1 (c)) Furthermore, it appears that it may well be the NFL Management Council-appointed members of the DICC and Retirement Board who routinely vote to deny claims, often without any substantive justification. Last year Congress heard many stories of players' claims which were denied even after several favorable opinions from the Plan's own neutral physicians. If this is in fact the case, it would seem apparent that those deciding disability claims are violating their duty of loyalty and care – not to the NFL – but to the Players and their beneficiaries.
Furthermore, their fiduciary responsibilities charge them with the duty of skill, care and prudence to act like others operating a similar enterprise (i.e. – adjudicating disability claims). Here there is a significant failing, as the Plan asks examining physicians to determine whether players meet their definition of disability, which in a nutshell, is whether "…he is substantially prevented from or substantially unable to engage in any occupation or employment for remuneration or profit…" (Plan section 5.2). I have been specializing in disability law for well over 25 years, handling claims in many forums, including Social Security, the VA, the Railroad Retirement Board and with most major insurance carriers. In each of those forums, a physician cannot make the determination of whether someone can work. Rather, they set forth the physical and mental restrictions which a claimant possesses, and then a qualified vocational specialist considers such factors as age, education, work experience, past earnings, etc,. (depending upon the specific requirements) to determine whether a person with the claimant's medical limitations is in fact capable of working. The vocational factors of whether a retired player meets the Plan's definition of disability are completely missing from their disability determinations and thus, the Plan is failing in their fiduciary duty to act with the skill, care, prudence and diligence they are required to exercise.
Only a complete audit of the Plan will be able to properly uncover all of its shortcomings.
John Hogan

Man, This Halloween sucks.
I have to work. From 11pm to 7am. Which means I'll be catching the 3am bar rush because everybody in the part of town knows where my work is (Burger King if you're wondering) and that the drive thru is open 24 hours.
A local pub (The Blarney Stone) annually has a HUGE Halloween party. So does the Keg, So does Moxies, so does The Shark Club, and pretty much any bar with in a 20 block radius.
And there's only one other fast food restaurant that is 24 hours, a McDonald's, but they're on the other side of town that doesn't have any bars, and isn't located near a large area of town with houses (So they won't be catching people going home). That and the only other BK in town closes at 3am.
On the bright side (Depending on how you look at it, a double edged sword really), both the Restaurant Manager and Assistant Manager are going to be there tonight (They're doing end of month inventory), so if we get our asses handed to us on a silver platter (Which we will, of that I have no doubt), we have some back up, since its just going to be me, A shift manager, and guy who's only going to be on his second shift ever.
This on its own is going to suck, mainly because the RM is a wonderful guy to work for, just not to work with. And the ASM, well, if you looked up sadistic bitch on google images (Hypotheticly speaking) you'd find her picture.
I need to find a different vocation...

Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-
On January 10, 2014, American Tower Corporation (the "Company") completed a registered public offering of $250 million aggregate principal amount of its 3.40% senior unsecured notes due 2019 (the "Reopened 2019 Notes") and $500 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.00% senior unsecured notes due 2024 (the "Reopened 2024 Notes" and, collectively with the Reopened 2019 Notes, the "Reopened Notes"). The Reopened 2019 Notes and the Reopened 2024 Notes were issued at an initial offering price of 102.940% and 102.458% per note, respectively and resulted in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $763.8 million (plus $13,120,833.34 of accrued interest), after deducting commissions and estimated expenses. The Company intends to use the net proceeds to repay existing indebtedness incurred under its $1.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility entered into in January 2012, as amended, and its $2.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility entered into in June 2013, as amended, which was used to fund acquisitions. The remainder of the proceeds, if any, will be used for general corporate purposes, including to repay other existing indebtedness.
The Company issued the Reopened Notes under an indenture dated as of May 23, 2013 (the "Base Indenture"), as supplemented by a supplemental indenture dated as of August 19, 2013 ("Supplemental Indenture No. 1" and, together with the Base Indenture, the "Indenture"), each between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee"). The following description of the Indenture is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the detailed provisions of the Indenture.
The Reopened 2019 Notes will have identical terms, be fungible with and be part of a single series of senior debt securities with the $750 million principal amount of the 2019 notes issued on August 19, 2013, which will mature on February 15, 2019 and bear interest at a rate of 3.40% per annum. The Reopened 2024 Notes will have identical terms, be fungible with and be part of a single series of senior debt securities with the $500 million principal amount of the 2024 notes issued on August 19, 2013, which will mature on February 15, 2024 and bear interest at a rate of 5.00% per annum. Accrued and unpaid interest on the Reopened Notes will be payable in U.S. Dollars semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, beginning on February 15, 2014. Interest on the Reopened Notes will accrue from August 19, 2013 and will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. The terms of the Indenture, among other things, limit the Company's ability to merge, consolidate or sell assets and the Company's and its subsidiaries' abilities to incur liens. These covenants are subject to a number of exceptions, including that the Company and its subsidiaries may incur liens on assets, mortgages or other liens securing indebtedness, provided the aggregate amount of such liens shall not exceed 3.5x Adjusted EBITDA as defined in the Indenture.
The Company may redeem the Reopened Notes at any time at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus a make-whole premium, together with accrued interest to the redemption date. In addition, if the Company undergoes a Change of Control and Ratings Decline, each as defined in the Indenture, the Company may be required to repurchase all of the Reopened Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Reopened Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest (including additional interest, if any), up to but not including the repurchase date.
The Indenture provides that each of the following is an event of default ("Event
of Default"): (i) default for 30 days in payment of any interest due with
respect to the Reopened Notes; (ii) default in payment of principal or premium,
if any, on the Reopened Notes when due, at maturity, upon any redemption, by
declaration or otherwise; (iii) failure by the Company to comply with covenants
in the Indenture or Reopened Notes for 90 days after receiving notice; and
(iv) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Company or
any of its Significant Subsidiaries. If any Event of Default arising under
clause (iv) above occurs, the principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest
on all the outstanding Reopened Notes will become due and payable immediately
without further action or notice.
The foregoing is only a summary of certain provisions and is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Base Indenture, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on May 23, 2013 as an exhibit to the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-188812) and Supplemental Indenture No. 1 by and between the Company and the Trustee, as filed with the SEC on August 19, 2013 as an exhibit to the Company's Form 8-K.
On January 10, 2014, the Company issued a press release announcing that it had completed the issuance of the Reopened Notes. A copy of the press release is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
A copy of the opinion of Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP relating to the legality of the issuance by the Company of the Reopened Notes is attached as Exhibit 5.1 hereto.
(d) Exhibits
Exhibit No. Description 5.1 Opinion of Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP. 23.1 Consent of Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP (included in Exhibit 5.1 hereto). 99.1 Press Release, dated January 10, 2014. |
