The police review of the disappearance of Madeleine McCann has identified "a handful of people of interest" in connection with the case, Scotland Yard confirmed today.
Detective Chief Superintendent Hamish Campbell said the people could be investigated further if only to be eliminated as people of interest.
He said: "The purpose of the review was to look at the case with fresh eyes and there is always real benefit in doing so. The review has further identified both investigative and forensic opportunities to support the Portuguese.
"There is more than a handful of people of interest which could be explored further if only to be eliminated.
"The key things are to investigate the case and our work is happening to support the Portuguese."
Today he also urged the Portugese authorities to investigate new leads identified by the British review.
Speaking on the eve of his retirement, DCS Campbell said: "There are a lot of people of interest. There are people who could be properly explored further, if only to be eliminated."
He refused to give names but said there were 'more than a handful' of 'people of interest'.
Madeleine McCann was nearly four years old when she dissapeared from a holiday apartment in the Portugese resort of Praia da Luz in 2007.
He parents, Kate and Gerry McCann were dining nearby.
As they marked the sixth anniversary of her disappearance earlier this month, her parents Kate and Gerry McCann said they remained hopeful as ever as Operation Grange continued, and that police seemed "more determined than ever".
"In many ways things haven't changed and you could argue that, with the Met review two years in, we are actually in a better place because so much more information has been collated and lots of pieces of the jigsaw have been filled," said Mr McCann.
Mrs McCann, who recently returned to Portugal, said their family, including twins Sean and Amelie, now eight, had found a "new normality" since Madeleine's disappearance.
She encouraged anybody with any information to contact police, added: "'I think to encourage everybody, it's six years on, but the way the Met review is going is really positive and with that, new hope.
"The search goes on, in a major way."

Contrary to popular belief, a near perfect debut is nowhere near as hard to follow as a scattered and sluggish third album. Especially if the "more of the same + calculated risks" sophomore bow comes in between. Though Franz Ferdinand's Tonight was a fine record, it was a largely hitless one, rounding off a common career arc from which few, if any, bands make a meaningful artistic recovery. Just ask yourself whether Interpol, the Strokes, Bloc Party, Maximo Park, or the Killers made the best fourth album. The festival circuit still beckons, so you either blow things up or just keep trudging forward, but on Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action, Franz Ferdinand do a little bit of both and not enough of either.
After a four year hiatus, the mere act of sounding like Franz Ferdinand can feel like a "comeback" in both a literal and figurative sense. Perhaps for that very reason, the first half wisely tries to provide a contact buzz by establishing a subtle, but unmistakable proximity to Franz Ferdinand's better-known material. The opening title track repeats its name enough times where it becomes a hook in spite of its clunky rhythm and dull, anhedonic sentiment; better is the one-bar drum fill bearing the same EQ'ing as the 16th-note snare rip from "Take Me Out." It's damn near a sampled breakbeat. The chorus of "Evil Eye" slinks and skulks enough to recall a time when Franz Ferdinand sounded sleazier and more dancefloor-oriented than your average rock band, but it has to fight through a verse filled with bothersome vocal filters (an indulgent byproduct of their self-production) to do so.
There is something pleasant and quaint about hearing Franz Ferdinand reestablish themselves as a workmanlike, crowd-pleasing dance-rock band by going heavy on the midtempo disco thump; mind you, they arose at a time when "dance-rock" still meant guitar bands and went heavier on the right side of the hyphenate. And bringing in Bjorn Yttling and Todd Terje to help out on production and slightly nudge them out of that stasis has to constitute right thoughts and right actions, right? Yet, the biggest letdown here is how often Kapranos fails to find the right words.
Franz Ferdinand initially stood out amongst the glut of post-Strokes pretty boys for their wit and playful sexuality, qualities which aren't tied to a particular sound and tend to age well. Similar to Arctic Monkeys' Alex Turner, you'd figure Kapranos would make for a good balladeer-- as far back as Franz Ferdinand, he already sounded like an older man playing a young man's game, wearied and louche. But Franz Ferdinand have yet to prove a knack for balladry. The baroque pop flourishes of "Fresh Strawberries" and "The Universe Expands"'s bleeping electro show how crucial momentum and groove are to Franz Ferdinand's musicianship by their lack thereof; though four minutes apiece, they feel twice as long. The prevalence of insistence over finesse is confirmed by lead single "Love Illumination", which doesn't grow on you as much as twist your arm into submission; a Los Angeles nightmare of overeager-to-please Fitz & the Tantrums soul-pop and Edward Sharpe's clap-trap uplift ("sweet love illumination/ sweet, sweet love elevation"), I doubt it would be improved in the slightest if Franz Ferdinand were being sarcastic about the whole affair.
They're probably not-- if you're trying to draw blood, sarcasm's a pretty dull blade and Franz Ferdinand aren't in attack mode either musically or thematically. Still, just about anything's sharper than the diffident lyrics that Kapranos brings to Right Thoughts. If you're still holding him to the standards set by the clever repartee in "Dark of the Matinee" and "Michael", you'll drive yourself mad trying to force additional layers of meaning into the central metaphor of "Fresh Strawberries"-- "We will soon be rotten/ We will all be forgotten." Same goes for "Bullet", which sanitizes and lobotomizes the sex-as-target practice construct of "Take Me Out" ("Never get your bullet out of my head/ Never get your bullet out of my mind") and "Treason! Animals", which exists for the sole purpose of its titular pun, which is really not worth living for.
But I suppose half-assed is preferable to when Kapranos puts his whole backside and thensome into "Goodbye Lovers and Friends". Already saddled with the stale meta-textual effect of using a presumptive breakup song as an album closer, an additional coat of unfortunate irony is laid on by the self-reference that suggests it's Franz Ferdinand's breakup song. "You know I hate pop music," Kapranos sings and like a lot of Right Thoughts, he sorta kinda means it, but not really. On the other hand, the last words on Right Thoughts are "When they lie and say this is not the end/ You can laugh as if we're still together/ But this really is the end" and their sincerity is a moot point. You're just meant to applaud an obvious punchline.
Still, while Right Words achieves a baseline level of quality or at least competency with the exception of "Goodbye Friends and Lovers" and "Love Illumination", they lack the conviction to take most of their lesser ideas to the realm of being unpleasant rather than kinda boring. Maybe that's a positive; if anything on Right Words came up on satellite radio, you probably wouldn't turn it off. But by the same token, you also wouldn't hesitate to use them as a bathroom break in a live setting, lest you miss "Take Me Out" or "Do You Want To?" At the very least, while the letdown of Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action isn't all that surprising, the reasons for it are. It's got nothing to do with the currency of a template the band all but perfected over a decade ago-- if anything, Franz Ferdinand sounds even fresher in 2013, since it's not like they have to duke it out with the Rakes, the Fratellis, and the Kaiser Chiefs or their modern day equivalents. Yet you can't help but feel like the title isn't a tribute to resolve or a refreshed sense of purpose, but rather a more erudite way of telling us they're going through the motions.

PSW March Top Trade Review – Navigating Choppy Markets
by phil - March 14th, 2015 8:30 am
What an exciting start to the year this has been.
It's been a difficult trading environment, to say the least and this will be the first full year featuring our new Top Trade Alerts™ (Members Only) and I look forward to doing these educational review sessions at least each quarter (our last one was January) to review both our trade ideas and our use of options to make those trade ideas as profitable as possible.
Top Trade Alerts are sent out once or twice a week via EMail and Text Message from our Basic and Premium Live Member's Chat Room. These trades are just a very small portion of what we discuss during chat each day, but hopefully a good representative sample of the dozens of trade ideas we share with our Members each week in our Live Member Chat Room as well as our Weekly Live Webinars (replays can be seen here).
Keep in mind these are just snapshots of trades as of today – it's up to you to take good trades off the table and cut the losses (or make adjustments) on ones that go bad. We're always discussing adjustments in our Live Member Chat Room – join us there for follow-ups.
Our first top trade idea for 2015 was UCO on Jan 5th and UCO did have a nice pop and we cashed them out of the $25,000 Portfolio with a nice profit on February's pop to $9.50+.
UCO has since pulled back and the July $14s fell all the way to 0.15 but now the July $8s are just 0.95 and make a nice way to go long on oil or, you can be more conservative and buy the $6 calls for $1.85 and sell the $9s for 0.70 for net $1.15 on the $3 spread.
On Jan 8th we took a poke at RIG when they fell to $16.15, selling the 2017 $8 puts for $1.70 for a net $6.30 entry, paired with the 2017 $10/15 bull call spread at $2.50 for net 0.80 on the $5 spread. RIG has fallen off considerably since, to…
Fragile Friday – Can Low-Volume Bounce Hold into the Weekend?
by phil - March 13th, 2015 8:27 am
What total BS.
The volume on the S&P to the upside has been pathetic and yesterday was no exception with just 92M shares trading on SPY. To put that into context (which we reviewed in yesterday's Live Member Chat Room) – we've had 4 up days and 5 down days in March and the SPY volume on the 5 down days has been 647M while the volume on the 4 up days has been 344M – just half of what the down volume has been.
Nonetheless, despite the massive outflow of funds, SPY is only 3 points below where it started the month, at 210. Even if we give the benefit of the doubt and pretend this isn't a blatant act of market manipulation designed to fool retail investors into buying the dips while Fund Managers and Banksters run for the exits – it's still an indication that this "rally" has a very weak base and could easily collapse in a dramatic fashion.

Thursday Fake-Out – Strong Bounces or Bust
by phil - March 12th, 2015 8:29 am
The Dollar is down so the markets are up this morning.
This isn't complicated, folks, we've seen this dance before. The S&P almost hit our goaaaalllllll!!! of 2,035 at 2,039 yesterday and was saved by the bell and this morning we have a bit of a recovery – but only because the Dollar has fallen almost 1% to prop up the markets.
Whether Dollar-driven or not, our 5% Rule™ dictates we still need to see strong bounces before letting ourselves get more bullish. So far, we have just the Russell making a turn off their 50 dma line at 1,203 – if that line WASN'T bouncy, things would be very bad indeed. Keep in mind that domestic small caps are least affected by the strong Dolllar while big-cap exporters and commodity producers are most affected.
Likewise, as you can see from Dave Fry's SPY chart, we're testing the 200 dma on the S&P and that had better be bouncy or look out below. The bounces we'll be looking for are:
- Dow 18,200 to 17,600 is 600 points (3.3%) and we look for 120-point bounces to 17,720 (weak) and 17,840 (strong).
- S&P 2,120 to 2,040 is 80 points (3.7%) and we look for 16-point bounces to 2,056 (weak) and 2,071 (strong).
- Nasdaq 5,000 to 4,850 is 150 points (3%) and we look for 30-point bounces to 4,880 (weak) and 4,910 (strong)
- NYSE 11,100 to 10,650 is 450 points (4%) and we look for 90-point bounces but may as well round to 100 and call it 10,750 (weak) and 10,850 (strong).

Whipsaw Wednesday – Europe's 180 Sets the Tone
by phil - March 11th, 2015 8:27 am
That's what Europe is doing this morning as the Euro plunges to $1.06, down just under 25% from $1.40 last May so the DAX BETTER be up 25% just to keep up with the deflating currency. DAX was 10,000 last May and is now 11,500 – oops, that's only up 15%, not 25%, more hidden deflation I suppose…
That's why, as you can see on Dave Fry's IEV chart, when priced in Dollars (as this ETF is), Europe's markets are DOWN 15% since last May – not up at all. These Dollar-adjusted Fundamentals are, unfortunately, so complex that most investors just ignore them and, therefore, if the DAX, FTSE and CAC go up – our markets follow, without taking the currency effects into account at all.
That's what's happening this morning as the Euro is down another 1% and down 4.2% since Friday, which is driving the EU markets back to new highs DESPITE the fact that everything is falling apart.
As you can see on the chart, the London FTSE 100 is still down 2.69% because they are priced in Pounds, not Euros and Spain is its own special disaster but DAX, CAC and Italy's FTSE are flying as the currency they are priced in is doing a Thelma and Louise off the economic cliff. The FREE MONEY is flowing in Europe on day 3 of their QE program and that's $3Bn per day being pumped into the economy by the ECB, so why shouldn't they be excited – we sure were when it was our turn (remember S&P 1,400 – that was only 2 years ago!).
So, priced in Euros, we have a 2% rally in Euro stocks but, priced in Dollars, IEV, the ETF that contains those same stocks, is crashing. The US indexes are priced in Dolars and, this morning, we are following Europe higher. Is that smart? Probably not and that's keeping us cautious and VERY SKEPTICAL until we see some longer-term pattens forming.
On the right is the S&P chart I published for our Members in our Live Chat…
Tumblin' Tuesday – The Sell-Off Resumes
by phil - March 10th, 2015 8:33 am
And down we go again!
Futures have already given up all of yesterday's ill-gotten, low-volume, gains and now we will be testing the 50-day moving average on the Dow at 17,800 and the S&P at 2,060 while the NYSE has already failed 10,850 but it never got back over our Must Hold line at 11,000, so we never thought it was strong in the first place.
As I noted for our Members in our Live Chat Room yesterday morning, the weak bounce for the NYSE was 10,900 and failing that kept us bearish, despite the "rally" we had for the day. The Dow finished between weak (17,950) and strong (18,050) but S&P failed weak (2,080) while the Nasdaq and Russell were both looking strong. Still, 3 of 5 fails and we stay bearish – that's sensible, right?
We stayed bearish on the Nikkei (see yesterday's post for why) and this morning we got a huge drop back to our goal at 18,500. As I said way back on Feb 26th (as well as in our Live Webinars since then) our bet on /NKD was that 19,000 would fail and it's happened several times since but this is the first day we got the full drop from 19,000 to our goal all in one session.
That's a good sign that 18,500 is not the bottom and is likely to fail eventually, which is fabulous for the EWJ puts we have in both our Short-Term Portfolio and our $25,000 Portfolio (see this weekend's Portfolio Review). Even worse for the Nikkei is that this drop is coming DESPITE the Yen weakening to 122 to the Dollar overnight – that's the lowest it's been in 13 years and USUALLY that makes the Japanese exporters very happy. Maybe they read my post yesterday and got worried it will all end in tears?
Speaking of collapsing currencies, the Euro is down to $1.0746 this morning as ECB bond-buying (see Thursday's post) runs right into hawkish commentary by the Fed's Fisher, who says the Fed should "promptly" end it's easy monetary policy and…
Monday Movement – iWatch Out for Violent Swings in the Markets
by phil - March 9th, 2015 8:15 am
Strap yourselves in folks.
It's going to be a wild ride today and probably all week as the ECB begins it's $1.2Tn QE program that is scheduled to pump roughly $70Bn a month (it keeps going lower as the Euro keeps dropping!) into the wallets of rich people across the EU. Just to illustrate how insane they can be, they began buying German Bunds this morning – giving the most to the country that needs it the least.
Greece, meanwhile, the country that needs it the most is not getting any and Greece has already burned through the last of their $260Bn bailout, driving their 3-year yeild to 15.21%, roughly 50 times higher than Germany's borrowing rate. Now, bear with me here but, in order to get the same return on their bond buying from Germany as they would from Greece, the ECB would have to lend Germany $13 TRILLION that Germany doesn't need rather than lending Greece the $260Bn it does need AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT THIER PLAN IS!
By putting more money into "safer" countries the ECB is making things worse for the riskier countries, which aren't benefitting from this misguided QE missile. But don't worry about things getting out of countrol, Draghi says the ECB will not pay more than 0.2% for the privilige of lending out money!
That's right, the ECB will PAY YOU 0.2% to borrow their money for up to 30 years. It doesn't sound like much but, if you borrow $1Bn, you get $60M in interest over 30 years for holding onto the ECB's money. Again – they won't do this for Greece or anyone else who needs it but, if you don't need money – it's nice to know more money is available if you are willing to be paid to hold it, right?
This is all, of course, completely insane and our reaction to an insane policy environment has been to remain "Cashy and Cautious" while these radical policies play themselves out. The markets got a little scare on Friday but it was a very minor sell-off and already this weekend, China claims exports rose 48.3% in a month and, whether or not you…
Weekend Reading – News You Can Use
by phil - March 8th, 2015 8:30 am
No rest for the wicked this weekend as we have big news from China.
Just a week after downgrading their GDP projections to as low as 6.5% (a 13% reduction from 7.5%), China now CLAIMS Exports in February jumped 48.3% while Imports fell 20.5%. The change isn't reflected on this chart, which shows the 3.3% fall in January exports but it looks like we're back to the days of Fake Chinese Data Reports – not that those days were ever really gone in the first place.
Amazingly, this incredible turnaroun in imports comes just one day after Commerce Minister Gao Hucheng said:
"The domestic and foreign trade environments this year have not improved markedly. To fulfill the foreign trade growth target, efforts should be made to implement existing policies. To achieve this goal will be an uphill battle and great efforts must be made.""
So gold stars to his entire staff for completely fixing the problem within 24 hours of his speech! Gao had stressed that a multi-pronged strategy must be adopted: the country should strengthen support for businesses in the process of industrial upgrading, produce higher-value products, focus on innovation-driven competitiveness and encourage the development of new export models like e-commerce. And then they did it all in just one day!
Meanwhile, imports slumped 20.5% from a year earlier in February, surpassing the 19.9% fall in January and exceeding market expectations of a 10% decrease. The February slide was the fourth consecutive month of lower year-over-year imports. The import decline was partly due to the sharp fall in prices for key commodities such as oil and metals. Crude-oil imports fell 46% in value but were up 11% in volume. Iron-ore imports showed a similar trend, losing 39% in value but gaining 11% in volume. That's key for our CLF investment as iron-ore volume is picking up – a hopeful sign (if we can believe the numbers).
In other unbelievable number news – it turns out Japan overestimated their GDP growth…
PSW March Portfolio Reviews (Members Only)
by phil - March 7th, 2015 7:51 am
What a fantastic first quarter we had!
Despite being cautious into the end of last year (see our December Review) our paired Long-Term and Short-Term Portfolios have gained $68,000 (9%) in the last 90 days. Our Long-Term Portfolio has gone from $608,375 on 12/6 to $640,797 as of yesterday – a gain of $32,422, which is 5.3% and perfectly on track for our planned 20% annual gains.
Oddly enough, it was our usually bearish Short-Term Portfolio that made the big gains over the past Quarter, mostly because we weren't actully that bearish and made some aggressive bullish bets as oil collapsed that have already paid off. The Short-Term Portfolio was up "only" 65% for the year as of our December review at $165,136 and, because we turned bearish into the recent dip – we've popped to $201,495 on yesterday's close – up $36,359 or 22% in 3 months.
Keep in mind we are LUCKY when we happen to time a major market move correctly, like we have this quarter – you can't expect to make 10% every quarter, especially when our goal is to remain well-hedged to protect our assets over the long-term. What we are trying to do is grow our portfolios a combined 20% each year and, in fact, when we hit the 40% mark last month – I made the case for just cashing out – as we had already made our 2-year goal in 14 months.
When you make unrealistic amounts of money – CONVERT IT INTO CASH! We converted our Income Portfolio into cash last year and, what do you know, the cash has jumped another 20% in value. That's something we need to consider with our own equity positions, if we trade them in for strong Dollars, we can turn around and use those Dollars to buy equities backed by weaker currencies or commodities – something we have already begun to do in our Long-Term Portfolio.
As we've note for the past few weeks, we have been VERY SKEPTICAL of this recent market rally and we've stayed very CASHY and CAUTIOUS in our portfolios now, as the market turns down, you can really begin to appreciate the value of having…
Non-Farm Friday – Is America Working?
by phil - March 6th, 2015 8:26 am
Can we be any more bullish?
Not really, according to this Investor's Intelligence chart, which indicates that MORE than 4 out of 5 people are bullish on the market – just about 9 out of 10. That means there are less people who are bearish on the market than there are dentists who recommend gum with sugar in it over Trident!
The last time sentiment was this exreme it was 90% bearish, back in the crash of 2009. Boy were those guys idiots, right? Not like us – WE'RE SMART! We would never mindlessly follow the crowd even though valuations were out of control and not at all supported by the Macro Economic Conditions that were readily observable – that would be crazy.
No, we'd never fall for that sort of nonsense because we are savvy investors, right?
Actually, as I pointed out to our Members in our Live Chat Room, this is very much like when you go to a Beanie Baby convention (don't ask how I ended up at one, long story) and suddenly you're in a room full of idiots paying $20, $50, $100 for a little bean-bag animal because they are "rare" and you start off thinking they are all crazy but, after a couple of hours, you see a cute one and it's only $5, so it seems like a bargain and, before you know it, you have a bag full of Beanie Babies.
As I've pointed out in previous posts, you (and your money) simply have nowhere else to go but Equities – the Central Banksters have seen to that by cutting off all other avenues of investment. So we're all here at our Equity convention and you see people buying TSLA for $220 and AMZN for $390 and NFLX for $470 and suddenly XOM at $86 seems like a good deal – even though the stuff they sell (oil) has dropped 50% in price since last year while XOM's stock is down less than 15%.
This is the part where C3PO begins screaming about XOM's break-even price on crude and the…
Thursday Thrust – Draghi Fires the QE Boosters Again
by phil - March 5th, 2015 8:20 am
Mario Draghi (a Goldman employee) will discuss his $75Bn/month QE program for the ECB this morning and the BOE (another Goldman employee) has already announced they will continue their $35Bn/month QE program while Japan continues their $80Bn/month QE program and our own Fed is still at $80Bn/month with China probably around the same.
That's $350Bn PER MONTH or $4.2Tn per year being pumped into the Global Economy by Central Banksters. AND IT'S NOT REALLY HELPING!!!
Well, it is helping the Top 1% as they get richer and richer and richer. It's easy to get richer when we can borrow money at 0.25% and then lend it to poor people (and we're justified because their credit simply isn't as good as ours) for 5%. That's a 20x return on our borrowing cost – don't you just love the Central Banksters?!?
Now, I know that there are those of you in America who are confused by these numbers because you think your economy is improving – and it is – but that's because you're not thinking the math through. 300M Americans, with an average income of $55,000 per family, are already in the top 10% of the Worlds 7Bn people. So the whole top 10% of America is already in the Global Top 1%, which is what is giving our economy such a boost – but it's at the expense of Billions of others.
A study by Fernholz in Econobrowser shows the very direct correlation between the gains of wealth held by the top 0.01% and 0.01-0.1% of households are increasing by 3% and 1% per year, respectively, while the share of wealth held by the bottom 90% of households is decreasing by 1.5% per year. 1.5% PER YEAR. When you graph it, it looks like this over time:
Not only is wealth being taken from the poor and given to the rich but the process is accelerating through QE policies. One of the ways the top 0.1% is reaping these rewards is through share buybacks – $2Tn worth of them since 2009, which is 6 times more money than the amount contributed by actual investors…

This world was a big place. Bigger than anything that Vagus the Totodile had ever known in his life. The fields seemed to go on forever, and the sky was so plain and vast that Vagus feared he would fall into it if he gazed up at it for too long. Such was a phobia developed when one spent their lifetime under the thick canopy of a jungle. Vagus had never seen the sky so clearly and never knew it was so vast. Then there was the silence, the sort of silence one hears when out in the middle of nowhere with nothing around to create any noise. The jungle was always full of noises, those that were familiar and those that seemed strange. Silence rarely ever came, and whenever it did, it was during the horrifying nights like the one that had claimed the lives of his parents.
Vagus looked around him while he and his brother, Mycaelis, walked the rolling plains. There was no road and the sheer emptiness around them made Vagus feel exposed and anxious. If he had proper claws, he would have dug him

Torchwick sighed. "Really? Didn't you listen when I explained this before?"
The young woman shook her head.
Torchwick sighed again. "Honestly, you never talk so I thought you'd at least listen when others are talking," he told the young woman. "You see, those so-called scientists in the back told me that whatever I just injected you with is going to give the strength to beat…"
The young man stopped the moment he saw the veins of Neo's arm pop out. Neo s

Hey guys!
This is just a reminder that I'm hoping to have at least 24 members join. As it is, there are only 21 applicants. We do, however, have 26 characters submitted. This just means that, if we don't get anymore applicants, some people will get two characters into the Games!
However, we've only gotten one Sponsor signed up. Without Sponsors, the entirety of the games will be random. Without more Sponsors, then both the victor will have a disappointingly measly prize, and the people providing prizes will also only get a small amount of compensation. :C
For the sake of making sure the prize-providers aren't cheated of some reward, I won't be starting the Games until we have at least five Sponsors signed up. That's a pretty small number, so I hope we can reach that goal!

Fernpelt was gravely injured, she doubted he would survive much longer.
all according to plan . . unfortunately
The she-cat sighed as she settled into her position, watching Plumblossom appeared from the entrance to try and save the tom's life.
She did her job, she got him to the entrance without being spotted, he'll do his job and handle the rest.
And then what?
Poppy wanted to summon Cinderstar into the woods alone, so she could use that thing on her.
The leader would most likely be killed, slowly stripped of all her lives.
One. By. One.
Silentbreeze felt sick just thinking about it.
So then . . . what are we going to do Silentbreeze? We are officially traitors to the clan. If anyone ever found out about this arrangement, the prey stealing from Moonclan, the hiding of mother's group, the death of a leader . . . i think it would be safe to say we'd be at least chased out.

END of the Line Chapter 4 - Living Nightmare Whatever state my mind was in, it wasn't easy to perceive. All I could see was some strange, hazy cloud-like substance, encompassing my entire field of view. It swirled and morphed into various shapes, but never grew into anything tangible. At the same time, I could hear nothing but whispers. Thousands of voices, all whispering gibberish that I couldn't comprehend. Soon, the whispers turned into screams. Cries for help flooded my mind, and all I could do was listen to the agony. I wanted to scream, but I couldn't. I couldn't do anything at all. I had no control of my body, forced to observe the strange trip my mind was sending me through. Then, the haze began to take a form. Trees and grass came into existence as the haze fled from the scene. An oddly red sky became visible. But most of all, to my satisfaction, the voices finally stopped. Soon, I heard nothing but crickets, and finally felt some mental peace.END of the Line Chapter 4 - Living Nightmare2 weeks ago in Introductions & Chapters More Like This

Nora's light green eyes glanced into his, but were quickly diverted to the ground. "You know what-" She bit her lip in hesitation, "I want you to carry me. I mean if it's not too much trouble of course." A playful smile covered her face.
Oliver blinked a few times, surprised by the fact that she would even consider this. "Uh okay, are you sure? I don't want to scare you or anything." He bit his lip out of concern.
Nora gave a slight nod. "That's the point, I don't want to be afraid of you- or anyone for that matter. I just want it to be like before. That's why I need to do this." She sucked in a deep breath, "So pick me up."

Doctors had given Bridgett a clean bill of health, and life had continued on. No one had been able to explain the enormous growth spurt that had struck her just a couple of months before. She had grown a foot in a twenty-four hour period, most of that had happened inside of ten minutes at her birthday party.
Not having an explanation nagged at most of the people in her life. It did not nag or bother Bridgett in the least. She was happy, healthy and for the first time in her life she was perfectly normal. She was no longer undersized. She was still the shortest person in her class, and was far from the tallest but that didn't matter. She was more popular than before as people no longer treated her like a little baby. She was at least close to the same height as most of those around her.
As far as life was concerned for Bridgett it would be hard to imagine it being any better. She had a crush who Debbie said that Elizabeth said,

"No Worries". I took this sunset photograph in St. Lucia, Jamaica during one of my birthday weeks a few years ago. The weather was beautiful, warm and inviting. I took several photos of this sunset, at first I was anxious to capture the perfect moment and have the correct settings set. However, towards the end, when I took the photo, I knew I did my best and had a relaxing "no worries" feeling coming over me.

As a child I drew every day in class. I feared running out of places to draw and materials to create art rather than getting in trouble for not paying attention. My school notebooks became a diary of sketches, doodles and drawings. In time it turned into the building blocks of the art you see today. Art to me is visual poetry that captures an intriguing subject, captivating concept and an artists� soul. The intent of creating artwork to this day hasn�t changed for me. I eliminate distractions and solely focus on my passion generating a �in the moment� experience. This deep concentration while working is not just a way of exploring my conscious and subconscious but my creativity as well. Isolating a captured emotion and concept in my work...

Adversarial Machine Learning for Fraud Detection - How Can Organizations Benefit from the Pioneering Work of the NSA and Facebook?
Distributed-denial-of-service attacks have plagued U.S. banks since last September. But DDoS attacks pose a persistent, genuine threat to other sectors as well. Any organization with an online presence is at risk.
Successful DDoS attacks can take a website offline, damaging brand image and chipping away at consumer trust. But they also can do much more. In some cases, these attacks can be used to mask fraud by distracting security and IT departments while banking accounts or confidential files are simultaneously being taken over.
To provide insights on the latest DDoS threats - and effective mitigation strategies - Information Security Media Group has launched a DDoS Resource Center.
The resource center, sponsored by online security firms Akamai, Fortinet, Neustar, Radware and VeriSign, includes timely interviews, in-depth features, news stories and blogs that offer insights about emerging botnets and attack techniques from those who are analyzing and battling DDoS on the frontlines. The resource center also offers expert insights on practical steps for minimizing the impact of DDoS attacks.
By visiting the resource center, you'll get the latest information on the different types of DDoS attacks, such as DNS reflection and application layer attacks, as well as the attacks' possible links to fraud. You'll learn about DDoS protections and mitigation services, notification and response strategies, and DDoS detection measures.
Here's a sampling of the variety of content our resource center offers:
The DDoS Resource Center also provides research, white papers and webinars, including a session on new defense strategies for DDoS, which includes insights from Rodney Joffee of DDoS-mitigation provider Neustar and Mike Wyffels, senior vice president and chief technology officer of multibank holding company QCR Holdings Inc.
We invite you to provide feedback, including ideas for topics you'd like to see us tackle, by submitting comments below.

Mark Buehrle's family won't join him in Toronto because they can't take the dog
Feb 7, 2013, 11:33 AM EDT
Back in November we learned of the dog dilemma faced by Mark Buehrle's family. They have a pit bull, but Ontario has outlawed pit bull ownership. This meant either getting rid of the dog or Buehrle's family not joining him in Toronto when the Blue Jays' season starts.
Jerry Crasnick reports that the family is going to leave Mark on his own:
Mark will spend his 14th big league season in Canada while Jamie lives more than 800 miles away with 5-year-old son Braden, 3-year-old daughter Brooklyn, Slater and the family's three vizslas, Drake, Diesel and Duke. As the family settles in for spring training in Dunedin, Fla., Buehrle is struggling to accept the idea that togetherness is short-lived and he will be coming home to an empty house in April.
Everyone has to make their own decision, but man. I think I'd find a new home for the dog before I'd willingly spend six months away from my family.

text: I was unable to locate a discussion of this problem in the list archives (http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_id=9830), so I would like to pose it to the list. Recently I installed HTML::Template on my iBook (Mac OS X 10.3 Darwin). In my first attempt, I elected *not* to install the shared cache feature. The package installed and tested properly, with 2 tests which called the shared cache feature being properly skipped. I then tried to reinstall *with* the shared cache feature by answering 'yes' at every prompt called by 'make'. Here I ran into considerable problems, as the shared cache feature has dependencies which are *not* listed in Makefile.PL. These dependencies are 'require'-ed rather than 'use'-d and the module puts these requires in 'eval' blocks. The modules required on the fly which gave me problems were: Gtop: required for the memory_debug feature; documented at line 670; code begins at line 1038. Gtop (http://search.cpan.org/~stas/GTop-0.14/) is described as Perl interface to libgtop. libgtop is a library not found on all OSes. I tried to understand its relationship to HTML::Template but noted these further problems: (1) The POD is all screwed up (e.g., http://search.cpan.org/~stas/GTop-0.14/Makefile.PL). The maintainer has responded and written a patch, but it will only get up to CPAN when the next version of the module is released. (2) The current version of GTop has not been extensively tested by testers.cpan -- only two testers have run it -- and it has failed all those tests. This suggests that the foundations of HTML::Template's memory_debug feature are shaky. IPC::SharedCache: required for the shared_cache feature; documented at line 524, 665; code begins at line 1060, 1067. IPC::SharedCache (http://search.cpan.org/~samtregar/IPC-SharedCache-1.3/) was also written by Sam Tregar, author of HTML::Template. IPC::SharedCache in turn has dependencies listed in its Makefile.PL. One is IPC::SysV, a module with which I was previously not acquainted, has been core since perl 5.005. But the other is IPC::ShareLite (v0.06 or later) (http://search.cpan.org/~maurice/IPC-ShareLite-0.09/). This module has XS code (there be goblins). My attempt to install it on Darwin failed. I can't say why, but perhaps this quotation from the IPC::ShareLite README is relevant: "Your operating system must support SysV IPC (shared memory and semaphores) in order to use this module." I tried to install the full-featured version of HTML::Template first via the CPAN.pm automated process, then by manually installing each dependency. I never succeeded in installing either Gtop or IPC::ShareLite. Consequently, I have only the non-shared cache version of HTML::Template to work with. Has anyone else encountered these problems and developed a workaround? Thanks for reading this far! Jim Keenan

Selective thinking is your belief system — that area of the conscious mind that filters our everyday information. Hypnosis allows for communication directly with the subconscious, and allows for positive changes because the subconscious does not judge or analyze. This is why positive changes can take place rapidly and effectively.
Scientific studies show that the average person uses only a small fraction of their mind, as little as 5% – 10%. Just think of what you could accomplish in your life if you could use more than 5% of your mind! Mind-Power is about using the power of thought … your thoughts and beliefs …to manifest your reality! Gaining the full potential of your mind involves using the power of your conscious and subconscious mind to manifest your reality … to make your dream a reality.

The plot revolves around a married couple's visit to an aging choreographer's apartment in New York. There's a mystery, which falls flat. Ray Liotta (Goodfellas), in his Broadway debut, is Wooden as the husband; Jane Adams turns in a thin performance as his wife. But there is one reason this show should be seen: Frank Langella. As the scurrilous, obsessive (he saves his trimmed fingernails), and fragile choreographer, Langella's rich, physically nuanced, and often hilarious portrayal will stay with you long after the details of this play's ham-handed plot fade.
