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.

US - IRAQ War Coverage
Civil Liberties and National Security
By George Friedman
USA Today published a story last week stating that U.S. telephone companies
(Qwest excepted) had been handing over to the National Security Agency (NSA)
logs of phone calls made by American citizens. This has, as one might
expect, generated a fair bit of controversy -- with opinions ranging from
"It's not only legal but a great idea" to "This proves that Bush arranged
9/11 so he could create a police state." A fine time is being had by all.
Therefore, it would seem appropriate to pause and consider the matter.
Let's begin with an obvious question: How in God's name did USA Today find
out about a program that had to have been among the most closely held
secrets in the intelligence community -- not only because it would be
embarrassing if discovered, but also because the entire program could work
only if no one knew it was under way? No criticism of USA Today, but we
would assume that the newspaper wasn't running covert operations against the
NSA. Therefore, someone gave them the story, and whoever gave them the story
had to be cleared to know about it. That means that someone with a high
security clearance leaked an NSA secret.
Americans have become so numbed to leaks at this point that no one really
has discussed the implications of what we are seeing: The intelligence
community is hemorrhaging classified information. It's possible that this
leak came from one of the few congressmen or senators or staffers on
oversight committees who had been briefed on this material -- but either
way, we are seeing an extraordinary breakdown among those with access to
classified material.
The reason for this latest disclosure is obviously the nomination of Gen.
Michael Hayden to be the head of the CIA. Before his appointment as deputy
director of national intelligence, Hayden had been the head of the NSA,
where he oversaw the collection and data-mining project involving private
phone calls. Hayden's nomination to the CIA has come under heavy criticism
from Democrats and Republicans, who argue that he is an inappropriate choice
for director. The release of the data-mining story to USA Today obviously
was intended as a means of shooting down his nomination -- which it might.
But what is important here is not the fate of Hayden, but the fact that the
Bush administration clearly has lost all control of the intelligence
community -- extended to include congressional oversight processes. That is
not a trivial point.
At the heart of the argument is not the current breakdown in Washington, but
the more significant question of why the NSA was running such a collection
program and whether the program represented a serious threat to liberty. The
standard debate is divided into two schools: those who regard the threat to
liberty as trivial when compared to the security it provides, and those who
regard the security it provides as trivial when compared to the threat to
liberty. In this, each side is being dishonest. The real answer, we believe,
is that the program does substantially improve security, and that it is a
clear threat to liberty. People talk about hard choices all the time; with
this program, Americans actually are facing one.
A Problem of Governments
Let's begin with the liberty question. There is no way that a government
program designed to track phone calls made by Americans is not a threat to
liberty. We are not lawyers, and we are sure a good lawyer could make the
argument either way. But whatever the law says, liberty means "my right to
do what I want, within the law and due process, without the government
having any knowledge of it." This program violates that concept.
The core problem is that it is never clear what the government will do with
the data it collects.
Consider two examples, involving two presidential administrations.
In 1970, Congress passed legislation called the Racketeer-Influenced and
Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act that was designed explicitly to break
organized crime groups. The special legislation was needed because organized
crime groups were skilled at making more conventional prosecutions
difficult. The Clinton administration used the RICO Act against
anti-abortion activists. From a legal point of view, this was effective, but
no one had ever envisioned the law being used this way when it was drafted.
The government was taking the law to a place where its framers had never
intended it to go.
Following 9/11, Congress passed a range of anti-terrorism laws that included
the PATRIOT Act. The purpose of this was to stop al Qaeda, an organization
that had killed thousands of people and was thought to be capable of
plotting a nuclear attack. Under the same laws, the Bush administration has
been monitoring a range of American left-wing groups -- some of which well
might have committed acts of violence, but none of which come close to
posing the same level of threat as al Qaeda. In some technical sense, using
anti-terrorism laws against animal-rights activists might be legitimate, but
the framers of the law did not envision this extension.
What we are describing here is neither a Democratic nor a Republican
disease. It is a problem of governments. They are not particularly
trustworthy in the way they use laws or programs. More precisely, an
extraordinary act is passed to give the government the powers to fight an
extraordinary enemy -- in these examples, the Mafia or al Qaeda. But
governments will tend to extend this authority and apply it to ordinary
events. How long, then, before the justification for tracking telephone
calls is extended to finding child molesters, deadbeat dads and stolen car
It is not that these things shouldn't be stopped. Rather, the issue is that
Americans have decided that such crimes must be stopped within a rigorous
system of due process. The United States was founded on the premise that
governments can be as dangerous as criminals. The entire premise of the
American system is that governments are necessary evils and that their
powers must be circumscribed. Americans accept that some criminals will go
free, but they still limit the authority of the state to intrude in their
lives. There is a belief that if you give government an inch, it will take a
mile -- all in the name of the public interest.
Now flip the analysis. Americans can live with child molesters, deadbeat
dads and stolen car rings more readily than they can live with the dangers
inherent in government power. But can one live with the threat from al Qaeda
more readily than that from government power? That is the crucial question
that must be answered. Does al Qaeda pose a threat that (a) cannot be
managed within the structure of normal due process and (b) is so enormous
that it requires an extension of government power? In the long run, is
increased government power more or less dangerous than al Qaeda?
Due Process and Security Risks
We don't mean to be ironic when we say this is a tough call. If all that al
Qaeda can do was what they achieved on 9/11, we might be tempted to say that
society could live more readily with that threat than with the threat of
government oppression. But there is no reason to believe that the totality
of al Qaeda's capabilities and that of its spin-off groups was encapsulated
in the 9/11 attacks. The possibility that al Qaeda might acquire and use
weapons of mass destruction, including nuclear devices, cannot be completely
dismissed. There is no question but that the organization would use such
weapons if they could. The possibility of several American cities being
devastated by nuclear attacks is conceivable -- and if there is only one
chance in 100 of such an event, that is too much. The fact is that no one
knows what the probabilities are.
Some of those who write to Stratfor argue that the Bush administration
carried out the 9/11 attacks to justify increasing its power. But if the
administration was powerful enough to carry out 9/11 without anyone finding
out, then it hardly seems likely that it needed a justification for
oppression. It could just oppress. The fact is that al Qaeda (which claims
the attacks) carried out the attacks, and that attacks by other groups are
possible. They might be nuclear attacks -- and stopping those is a social
and moral imperative that might not be possible without a curtailment of
On both sides of the issue, it seems to us, there has developed a
fundamental dishonesty. Civil libertarians demand that due process be
respected in all instances, but without admitting openly the catastrophic
risks they are willing to incur. Patrick Henry's famous statement, "Give me
liberty or give me death," is a fundamental premise of American society.
Civil libertarians demand liberty, but they deny that by doing so they are
raising the possibility of death. They move past the tough part real fast.
The administration argues that government can be trusted with additional
power. But one of the premises of American conservatism is that power
corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Conservatives believe that
the state -- and particularly the federal government -- should never be
trusted with power. Conservatives believe in "original sin," meaning they
believe that any ruler not only is capable of corruption, but likely to be
corrupted by power. The entire purpose of the American regime is to protect
citizens from a state that is, by definition, untrustworthy. The Bush
administration moves past this tough part real fast as well.
Tough Discussions
It is important to consider what the NSA's phone call monitoring program was
intended to do. Al Qaeda's great skill has been using a very small number of
men, allowing them to blend into a targeted country, and then suddenly
bringing them together for an attack. Al Qaeda's command cell has always
been difficult to penetrate; it consists of men who are related or who have
known each other for years. They do not recruit new members into the
original structure. Penetrating the organization is difficult. Moreover, the
command cell may not know details of any particular operation in the field.
Human intelligence, in order to be effective, must be focused. As we say at
Stratfor, we need a name, a picture and an address for the person who is
likely to know the answer to an intelligence question. For al Qaeda's
operations in the United States, we do not have any of this. The purpose of
the data-mining program simply would have been to identify possible names
and addresses so that a picture could be pieced together and an intelligence
operation mounted. The program was designed to identify complex patterns of
phone calls and link the information to things already known from other
sources, in order to locate possible al Qaeda networks.
In order to avoid violating civil liberties, a warrant for monitoring phone
calls would be needed. It is impossible to get a warrant for such a project,
however, unless you want to get a warrant for every American. The purpose of
a warrant is to investigate a known suspect. In this case, the government
had no known suspect. Identifying a suspect is exactly what this was about.
The NSA was looking for 10 or 20 needles in a haystack of almost 300
million. The data-mining program would not be a particularly effective
program by itself -- it undoubtedly would have thrown out more false
positives than anyone could follow up on. But in a conflict in which there
are no good tools, this was a tool that had some utility. For all we know, a
cell might have been located, or the program might never have been more than
a waste of time.
The problem that critics of the program must address is simply this: If data
mining of phone calls is objectionable, how would they suggest identifying
al Qaeda operatives in the United States? We're open to suggestions. The
problem that defenders of the program have is that they expect to be trusted
to use the data wisely, and to discipline themselves not to use it in
pursuit of embezzlers, pornographers or people who disagree with the
president. We'd love to be convinced.
Contrary to what many people say, this is not an unprecedented situation in
American history. During the Civil War -- another war that was unique and
that was waged on American soil -- the North was torn by dissent.
Pro-Confederate sentiment ran deep in the border states that remained within
the Union, as well as in other states. The federal government, under
Lincoln, suspended many liberties. Lincoln went far beyond Bush --
suspending the writ of habeas corpus, imposing martial law and so on. His
legal basis for doing so was limited, but in his judgment, the survival of
the United States required it.
Obviously, George W. Bush is no Lincoln. Of course, it must be remembered
that during the Civil War, no one realized that Abraham Lincoln was a
Lincoln. A lot of people in the North thought he was a Bush. Indeed, had the
plans of some of his Cabinet members -- particularly his secretary of war --
gone forward after his assassination, Lincoln's suspension of civil rights
would be remembered even less than it is now.
The trade-off between liberty and security must be debated. The question of
how you judge when a national emergency has passed must be debated. The
current discussion of NSA data mining provides a perfect arena for that
discussion. We do not have a clear answer of how the debate should come out.
Indeed, our view is that the outcome of the debate is less important than
that the discussion be held and that a national consensus emerge. Americans
can live with a lot of different outcomes. They cannot live with the current
intellectual and political chaos.
Civil libertarians must not be allowed to get away with trivializing the
physical danger that they are courting by insisting that the rules of due
process be followed. Supporters of the administration must not be allowed to
get away with trivializing the threat to liberty that prosecution of the war
against al Qaeda entails. No consensus can possibly emerge when both sides
of the debate are dishonest with each other and themselves.
This is a case in which the outcome of the debate will determine the course
of the war. Leaks of information about secret projects to a newspaper is a
symptom of the disease: a complete collapse of any consensus as to what this
war is, what it means, what it risks, what it will cost and what price
Americans are not willing to pay for it. A covert war cannot be won without
disciplined covert operations. That is no longer possible in this
environment. A serious consensus on the rules is now a national security

Meet KC King, a Ph.D. student in the atmospheric sciences program. She is a part of the EPSCoR Climate Change project, on the climate modeling team, and interested in climate models' ability to correctly forecast teleconnections seen in the western U.S. in temperature and precipitation due to ENSO events.
What brought you to DRI?
I came to DRI in 2007 to start my master's in atmospheric science after working as a lawyer for three years. It was a big shift for me back into science after being immersed in the law for years. I was especially drawn in by DRI's amazing facilities and the chance to work on a wind energy project with Dr. Kaplan.
What are you studying? What research projects are you working on? And who at DRI are you working with?
I am studying climate change through the use of regional climate models. I am a part of the EPSCoR Climate Change project on the climate modeling team. I work most closely with Darko Koracin and John Mejia, but interact on a daily basis with others on the modeling team as well. My project is focusing on the uncertainty inherent in climate modeling – how do we put a number on that uncertainty, what are the sources, and how does it affect modeling for the future? I am especially interested in climate models' ability to correctly forecast the teleconnections that we see in the western U.S. in temperature and precipitation due to ENSO events.
What are your short-term and long-term goals while at DRI?
My long term goal is to get my Ph. D. in Atmospheric Science from UNR. I completed my master's at UNR in 2010. I am working through researching and writing a number of papers to publish in scientific journals at the moment. I also hope to connect with researchers in many different environmental fields like those at DRI. The earth is an incredibly complex system and I think that only through collaboration within our own field and with those from other disciplines can we begin to understand the various parts of that system.
Tell us about yourself. What do you do for fun?
I enjoy the outdoors and am known for my "farm" of animals. I love camping, road trips, and hiking. I also have been trying to get a good organic garden going in my backyard. Each year I participate in the NorCal AIDS Cycle which is a 330 mile bike ride over 4 days to raise money and awareness for HIV/AIDS in the Northern California area.
What problem in the world would you like to solve? And if given the chance and unlimited resources, how would you go about solving it?
There are too many problems to list! From what I've experienced, small, local actions tend to have much more of an effect than grand schemes. On my present list of things to conquer are getting all my friends to recycle what they can, talking to people about small steps that they can make to live in an environmentally friendly way (light bulbs, gardening, buying local, biking and taking the bus), and trying to understand problems from multiple viewpoints. If I had unlimited resources, I would put them into education across the globe because I think that a good education for all is the most important step to solving any problem.

The Hunt For Red October easter eggDuring the intro sequence for the mission where you are about to land on Rannoch, Commander Shepard is standing in the Normandy's bridge speaking to Joker about the tons of enemies. Joker laughs it off and says that with the Normandy's stealth drive engaged, the only way for the Geth to notice you is if you all start singing the Russian national anthem, a direct reference to the 1990 film. |

Before the part where you see Husks climbing up the wall (the first time you shoot at something), you can see the boy looking below, looking over the railing. When the Husks arrive and Anderson coaxes you to shoot them, watch the boy run into the building and lock the door. The building is blown up seconds later, but he apparently survives in the vent. |

Speak with her and you`ll automatically receive a +2 reputation. After that, pause the game and then save your data. Load it once again and you will notice that you`ll be in the same moment before you saved, and Dr. Brown is in the exact same position. Speak to her again and gain another +2 reputation. Do this as much as you want until you fill your reputation meter. |

Thanks, Marie, I'd forgotten about their annual seed sale. I've never used GA-3. A search on these forums might bring up past discussions on the stuff as I recall a number of years ago some people trying it. Gardens North, and some seed germination sites, will stipulate where GA-3 is beneficial or necessary. I've not yet found the need for anything I've attempted to start from seed. |

The Canadiens played a flat first period and didn't get going until the third – by which point New Jersey had a 3-1 lead.
Against Martin Brodeur, that's insurmountable.
The loss left the Canadiens mired in 13th place … and running out of games.
• Carter was special to Brodeur
• Dave Stubbs talks to Hal Gill
• Jack Todd on Pierre Gauthier

In "Love Will Guide Us," a Tapestry of Faith program
Gather participants in a sitting circle and say in your own words:
Love is a central force in Unitarian Universalism. It is what guides us like the North Star. It's pretty amazing to think that love was part of the universe right in the very beginning. We are going to make pictures by drawing what love looks like unfolding in the universe with a pencil and then gluing seeds on the drawing.
Move to the work area and instruct participants to draw their image of love unfolding in the universe on their oak tag paper and then glue seeds onto it. Allow children to interpret the question however they wish. Some might want to draw spirals; others might draw hearts or pictures of loving relationships. There is no right answer or image. If children are finding it difficult to create an image, you might ask:

Citing a leaked roadmap which apparently details Dell's tablet plans, Hungarian website Tech2.hu reports that the XPS 10 successor will have a 10.8-inch Full HD display and will come to market in Q4. It is not known if the model will run Windows RT, as with the original model, or the Intel-powered Windows 8.
The same roadmap also seems to indicate that Dell could unveil a newer Latitude 10 tablet, also with a 10.8-inch display, in the first quarter of next year, news which would come as some surprise given the Texas firm has already launched two Latitude 10 tablets in seven months.
It has been suggested that Dell might be preparing a newer version of the XPS 10 because the original model failed to attract significant sales, something which may have also influenced the company's decision to discount the XPS 10 to just $299 earlier this month.
The prospect of new Dell tablets in the near future doesn't seem so far off. After all, a senior Dell executive recently hinted at an incoming Windows RT tablet and Kindle Fire rival.

What? No fitness apps? How about Endomondo, MyFitnessPal, Noom, etc? Also, Rdio is better than Spotify, more affordable too. What about a browser, or RSS reader? What about Feedly? No weather apps? No task apps? No cloud storage apps? No folder browsing apps? Grocery list apps? I mean, these are all things that make a smartphone more useful. Am I wrong? I could go on, but I feel I've made my point. Thanks for the effort though. Cheers!
I'd add Memability to the list. It's a fantastic app to take note and create lists. You can organize all that hierarchically, which I don't believe Evernote can do. Plus the design is really neat and clean and it's simple to use.
Best app missing for this list is the cure for boredom 'Funny photos and jokes' https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.funny.photosjokes
3ds rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
viva la Nintendo!
As was mentioned previously there are a lot of very useful types of apps not even touched upon here, while the list does contain a lot of apps that appear quite similar, the list is far too geared toward social networking.
There are approximately 40 million apps in Android market called "Simple Note" – which one is it!?!

Flipboard. one app.
WTF??? Where are the other 24?
Did you just crap out on your webpage design?
What idiot designed your pages?
Oh, I see. I'm supposed to magically figure out that mixed in with the freaking **advertising** thumbnails is the page thumbnails.
What cretinous Bauhaus loving minimalist pinhead webpage designer forgot the simple and exceptionally brilliant concept of a "next" button?
Beware of Dots. It has the heartbleed bug. The developer thinks it is not a big deal.
Not worth 25 mouse clicks.. See ya later.
IGotBupkis: There is a "Next" button you moron…. it's the yellow arrows right beside the title of each app.
Don't blame the developers of the website for your own stupidity.
Good apps.
I think you need to add Mailwise, it's a free email app that very convenient for businesses, you can easily setup multiple email accounts like hotmail and outlook.
why buy #12 (parallels) for $10 when team viewer is free?
