The Isle of Wight region
Just 2 hours from London by rail or road, with good motorway links to the Midlands, the 'Garden Isle' is easily accessible and well served by ferries, yet a relaxing 'green' destination for holidays and short breaks. At 23 miles long and 13 miles wide, the sea and spectacular Heritage Coastline is never far.
An unrivalled network of footpaths gives access to unspoilt countryside – over is half designated as Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Its mild climate makes it an ideal destination outside the summer months, when it enjoys a deserved reputation for family holidays.
Sites such as Brading Roman villa, Carisbrooke Castle, royal Osborne House, historic little Yarmouth and charming villages across the Island, offer glimpses of a favoured lifestyle through the ages.
Today the Isle of Wight offers relaxation and fine food in peaceful surroundings. There are outdoor opportunities for walkers, cyclists and water sport enthusiasts - and award-winning music festivals. From the Downs which traverse the Island, views of farmland and villages, woodland and coast offer panoramas of the best of England in miniature.
Yarmouth is located on the western side of the Island at the mouth of the Yar estuary. The historic little town has grown as a result of its natural harbour, guarded by Yarmouth Castle, which was built by Henry VIII in 1547 The Harbour attracts international yachts and motor cruisers, whose crews take advantage of the moorings to enjoy the lively range of shops, and places to eat and drink in the town. Wightlink Ferries dock here from Lymington, after a crossing of just under half an hour.
The picturesque narrow streets and town square are lined by flower decked shops and pubs; restaurants range from Michelin star quality through family-friendly pubs to cafes with outside tables for celebrating fine weather late into the evening, many meals having an emphasis on local produce and freshly caught fish

Air Force Chief addresses mishandling of remains
Monday - 11/14/2011, 7:39pm EST
Air Force Chief of Staff General Norton Schwartz testified on Capitol Hill about the fact that the military had put remains of military war dead in a landfill. Schwartz told the Senate Armed Services Committee that the problem had been corrected and he defended a decision not to fire anyone who worked at the mortuary at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware. One military officer and two civilians received disciplinary action, steps that investigators at the U.S. Office of Special Counsel said in a letter to President Barack Obama did not go far enough.

A Strategy for Prioritizing Threats and Recovery Actions for At-Risk Species

Ensuring the persistence of at-risk species depends on implementing conservation actions that ameliorate threats. We developed and implemented a method to quantify the relative importance of threats and to prioritize recovery actions based on their potential to affect risk to Mojave desert tortoises (Gopherus agassizii). We used assessments of threat importance and elasticities of demographic rates from population matrix models to estimate the relative contributions of threats to overall increase in risk to the population. We found that urbanization, human access, military operations, disease, and illegal use of off highway vehicles are the most serious threats to the desert tortoise range-wide. These results suggest that, overall, recovery actions that decrease habitat loss, predation, and crushing will be most effective for recovery; specifically, we found that habitat restoration, topic-specific environmental education, and land acquisition are most likely to result in the greatest decrease in risk to the desert tortoise across its range. In addition, we have developed an application that manages the conceptual model and all supporting information and calculates threat severity and potential effectiveness of recovery actions. Our analytical approach provides an objective process for quantifying threats, prioritizing recovery actions, and developing monitoring metrics for those actions for adaptive management of any at-risk species.

Our most popular and versatile mountain bike tire, the High Roller's ramped leading edges roll fast, while the side lugs offer stability at speed and a sharp edge to hold corners. The grooved center knobs provide straight-line control. Now incorporating Maxxis Silkworm protection system, the Silkworm material helps to increase puncture and tear resistance, while at the same time increasing rotation efficiency. This helps keep you in the saddle and on the move.
About MTB Off-Road Tyres
These tyres are for mountain bikes and intended primarily for off road use, the knobbly patterns provide grip when steering and traction when applying power to the pedals. There is usually a tyre to suit the conditions in which you are riding in so the right choice is important. On dry days a narrow tyre with a smoother central tread can be used, but on a wet day a wider tyre with a deeper knobbly tread pattern is essential or you could be the one in contact with the mud.
About the Maxxis brand
At Maxxis International, nothing less than the best is enough. For over 38 years, original equipment and aftermarket customers have known that they can count on Maxxis for the highest quality tires, in categories including automobile, light truck, motorcycle, ATV, bicycle, race kart, trailer and lawn & garden. And their VIP Technology (Virtual Intelligent Prototyping), a process developed by Maxxis, ensures that their products continue to evolve, remaining the best in quality and performance.

All good thanks
The site was badly signposted and very confusing to say the least.
Can't fault the caravan
The difficulty was finding our way around the caravan park site, which caused frustration on some occasions. The solution is to install a much better system of direction signposting: especially concerning 'WAY OUT' indicators. In the dark it must be a nightmare if you are not sure where you are.
I was hoping for a quiet restful holiday.It was like being on a building site,with all the comings and goings of tipper trucks.Early on thursday morning 4.45am someone had taken one of the camps buggies and collided with our van and car.by losing control.Other than all that the clubhouse and facilities were good.
Beautiful area,but for older children not much to do.
I had no problems with the caravan. The staff were all very helpful. I haven't realized the was as big as it was. I had problems with locating the caravan, even with the map provided
Although the Gold caravan was nice and clean with modern television,the one major fault inside was the tiny camping size fridge that you could hardly get enough food in for 3 people,let alone 6-8 ! Sadly the main reason that I would not return to Beauport was that it was not mentioned in the description of the parc just how steep the hills were for someone like my husband who has to use a walking stick some days and because we were so far away from the clubhouse,whenever we wanted to get a drink or a meal,we had to use the car to go from our caravan to the venue.Sadly also our caravan was really close to a family that obviously lived on the site for most of the time,having family that left really early in the mornings to go to work or school,so unfortunately we had no lovely lie-ins whilst on our holiday but were wide awake listening to all the racket going on from next door from 7am onwards.At least the weather was fantastic so that made up for a lot of things and no-one could fault the clubhouse and staff.

The poor old Kuga didn't even get a facelift. After just four years on sale, when most cars would get a refresh, it was killed and replaced with this new version. We can blame the Americans, because when the time came to replace their shoddy - but popular - Escape, they took one look at the Kuga and decided that would do nicely. But new Fords must now be global, and the Kuga was very much a Euro thing, so it was decided that an all-new one would be built.
And, sure enough, they're queueing around the blocks to buy one. But what about the rest of us? We rather liked the outgoing car, especially the way it looked and the way it drove. Like the new multinational Focus, this new Kuga has lost some of that magic in favour of clone-ish styling and less playful driving experience. But what it loses in dynamic sparkle, it gains in space and value. The boot is 200 litres roomier than before, depending on the angle of the rear seats, which now recline. There's an optional, kick-activated tailgate - just swing a leg under the rear bumper, and it motors itself open. Helpful if you have armfuls of children.
Get things wrong, and it'll help you, too. There's a full roster of safety stuff here, from lane assist to 'active nibble compensation', which counteracts little tugs and pulls through the steering column. And, sure, it's less nibbly, but nibbles let you know it's alive. We miss the nibbles. The old Haldex 4x4 system has gone, replaced by Ford's own torque-vectoring system. You'll probably notice the difference up an icy driveway, but you'd have to be driving quite heroically to feel it at high speed, where there's not enough power to give it a proper workout.
We tried two engines: a 161bhp diesel and a 180bhp petrol. The diesel feels strong and well-bred, but the petrol feels a bit out of place, especially with the torque-converter auto that kicks down if you even look at the throttle (blame the Americans again). Perhaps the lighter front-wheel-drive versions will feel a bit sweeter, though you'll have to make do with less power: 138bhp in the diesel, 148bhp in the petrol. And prices? You're looking at around £20,895 for a petrol Zetec, up to £29,795 for a diesel Titanium X (that's around a grand cheaper than the old car, spec for spec).
Fine. But here's the thing: where the first Kuga rebelled against more restrained rivals, this one has grown up and bought some proper trousers. Ford predicts it will continue to find 10,000-12,000 buyers per year in the UK, and while it's hard to argue against a safer, more affordable product, we'd have a good look at the new Mazda CX-5 before joining them...
Dan Read
The numbers
1997cc, 4cyl, 4WD, 161bhp, 250lb ft, 48.2mpg, 154g/km CO2, 0-62mph in 9.9secs, 123mph, 1692kg
The verdict
Ford's globalisation project continues, this time with a safer, roomier Kuga. We'll miss the old one, though...

PAX EAST 2014 | "Orcs Must Die!" In Glorious Online Fashion
Posted on April 18, 2014 AT 08:58am
Orcs Must Die! is probably my favorite tower-defense game series. I don't know if it's the sight of watching thousands of monstrous trolls and other disgusting creatures being impaled, shot up with arrows, and set on fire or…actually, that's exactly why I love Orcs Must Die! So when it came time to up the ante for the next game in the series Robot Entertainment had one simple answer: bring it online. The result is Orcs Must Die! Unchained, a brutally fun and challenging online experience.
Orcs Must Die! Unchained has two online teams facing off against one another, as each side sends in wave after wave of orcs, trolls, wolves, and other monsters into enemy territory. As it is in the first two games you set up traps to slow down the enemy forces, and then hope that the end result will be that only a few manage to get through so you can take them out with better ease. Normally when playing Orcs Must Die! I'm used to setting up traps and then sitting back to watch the carnage unfold before my very eyes. What I didn't count on in Unchained, though, is how much I found myself on my toes throughout the entire play through.
During my hands-on experience with the game I was given the chance to play two rounds, one for each side of the fighting forces. On the Heroes' side I played as Hogarth, who would wield his mighty axe to slay the mightiest (and even not-so-mightiest) of beasts that try to charge into your territory. Of course the brute strength compensates with how slow the character maneuvers. Fortunately if I take too much damage I have the ability to transport myself back to the home base so as to heal myself up. On my second play through I was given the character of Stinkeye, who could use his wizardly powers to attack his foes. I could also set up special beacons that, when shot at, could deal damage to creatures in all directions.
At the start of each round my team set up the traps near the entrances so as to slow down the enemy. Soon after we ran to the gate to set up our forces to send into the other side's territory. As the round progressed, and the more coins you earn, the more powerful the monsters you can send into battle. Of course, the same is said about your opponents, meaning that throughout the round's duration there's no time to rest on your laurels. As soon as one wave ends, another begins, and when more than one comes hurtling towards you then tough decisions must be made: do you spend your cash on better waves or do you use them for more traps. While the latter sounds the more reasonable I found that that it wasn't usually the case, as my bad choices wound up having me lose both rounds in the end.
Despite victory not being in my grasp Orcs Must Die! Unchained is so far tons of fun to play. While it may have been better to be able to chat with my other players so as to form a better strategy (which, at a con, is easier said than done) the cooperation that my teammates had with one another was very nicely balanced. Normally I'm not the type to play F2P games, but considering my love for Orcs Must Die! I may find myself jumping deeply into this one.
Orcs Must Die! Unchained is due for official release later this year. Those interested in signing up for the beta can do so via the official website.

The scarcity of ghee has badly hit the 'laddu' production at Sri Durga Malleswara Swamyvarla Devasthanam here. The temple authorities could not supply sufficient 'laddus' to the devotees visiting the temple. Imposing a ration on sale, only two laddus were sold to each devotee.
The mouth-watering, delicious and yummy 'laddu' is unlikely to be available "freely" at the Kanaka Durga temple in a day or two if the ghee scarcity is not eased. The ghee stocks will be sufficient till Tuesday.
About 25 cans, each weighing 15 kg, of ghee are available now. The temple sells nearly 25,000 laddus on normal days and it touches 50,000 to 60,000 laddus on Sundays and Fridays.
The temple requires not less than 500 kg of ghee every day to prepare the laddus. The daily demand touches 600 kg if other prasadams like 'chakkera pongali' were also to be considered, sources say.
The temple authorities explain that Vijaya Dairy used to supply the ghee in bulk.
The supply has come down in the recent past. A request was made to step up the supply and it was expected that it would improve by Tuesday. The devasthanam has asked Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF) to send a tanker of ghee (KMF sells bulk ghee on tanker basis). Tanker ghee would weigh around 15,000 kg, and the KMF was asked to supply in cans. The KMF, however, has not responded saying this has to be approved by the Board.
Ghee cost
The temple is spending Rs.300 for every kg of ghee at present. The rate could be a little on the higher side as the transportation and other costs would be involved if the ghee was procured from the KMF.
The authorities feel that a tanker of ghee from the KMF would be sufficient for next 20 days. The scarcity of ghee is likely to ease thereafter, they say.

And yes, I am blatantly promoting a product that's not even paying me, but this is sheer marketing genius. I imagine the meeting went something like this:
- Ad Guy 1: Hey, let's get that hot chick from Twilight to pose naked holding our product.
- Ad Guy 2: You mean Kristen Stewart?
- Ad Guy 1: No, she's always high. The other one. Ashley something.

- Ad Guy 2: Where!? Where!? Where!?
- Ad Guy 1: I'll show 'em to ya later. Hey you think we can get this in Sports Illustrated if we cover her in sexy body paint?

Sunderland boss Roy Keane is eyeing Manchester United striker Louis Saha.
The Daily Mail says Roma and Fulham have already snubbed the chance to sign the 29-year-old. Roma were keen to sign the France forward on loan, followed by a possible free transfer, but baulked when informed they would have to pay a set fee after a certain amount of appearances.
Fulham also dropped out of the running for their former striker when told of the financial implications of signing a player currently on £70,000-a-week. That, however, has not deterred Keane as he bids to add firepower to a squad seriously weakened by the knee injury Kenwyne Jones picked up in an international friendly with England.

Dashboard break light odd behavior
I have a 1998 4 cilinder Accord EX and I have a problem with my dashboard break light.
A few seconds after I start the car the light goes on. The parking break is released, the break fluid is OK and the break lights are all working.
The light stays on while driving but when I apply the brakes the light goes off. When I release the breaks, the ligth goes on. This behavior stays all the time while the car is on.
Teh brake pedal responds OK (not too hard or too deep) and the fluid is on the max mark. There are no brake fluid drops bellow the car on the garage and breaking performance is ok. ABS working normally.
I'm lost and can't figure out what is going on.
1 Answer
First of all - Well described PROBLEM and you should be comended as 90% of posters do not post enough information to diagnose squat. The brake light and ABS light work in tandem.By your description the ABS light is working properly yet the brake light stays illuminated when the car starts and the goes out when the brake is depressed is my understanding. ( I would asume that this is not the LAMP OUT indicator - Right ?? ) If its not the lamp out indicator light and is the brake light ( The same one when the Ebrake is pulled ) then I would assume a few things. A bad brake light switch on the pedal - Disconnect it and see if the light is OUT when you start the vehicle. If its out then the switch is probably shorted internally. If its stays on then there is an external factor - possible the light sensors in each of the rear brake light assemblies. These are known to go bad with water intrusion. With brake light switch connected check to see if ALL three brake lights are working - EVEN the third brake light. If one of them lights are out then you have probably found yer culprit - the rear lighting sensors putting your light on and will have to be addressed at the light that is not working. Hope this helps and good luck

Electronics exports seen to rebound
popular .
Electronics exports, which have weakened in the past few years, are poised for a recovery in the second half, according to the National Economic and Development Authority (Neda).
The Neda said it remained optimistic that the country's exports would grow this year and continue to be led by electronics despite the anemic numbers in the first five months.
Citing reports from industry analysts, Economic Planning Secretary and Neda Director General Arsenio Balisacan said there was a good chance that global demand for electronics, especially semiconductors, would increase in the coming months as indicated by the gradual buildup of orders.
"International industry analysts see that the semiconductor industry will grow moderately in 2013. This may signal a recovery in the country's electronics exports in the coming months following a series of contractions since December 2012," Balisacan said in a statement.
The National Statistics Office earlier reported that the Philippines' merchandise exports fell 6 percent year on year to $21.09 billion in January to May. Imports for the same period contracted by 3.6 percent to $24.76 billion.
Since a significant portion of the country's imports are inputs used to manufacture intermediate electronics, the leading export earner for the Philippines, the contraction in imports in the previous months indicated an uncertain outlook among Filipino exporters on global demand.
The anemic global demand has been blamed on the fragile economic conditions of key export markets, led by industrialized countries.
Besides the Philippines, other Asian countries posted year-on-year contractions in imports in the first five months of this year. Japan's imports fell 8.7 percent, Singapore by 4.4 percent, South Korea by 2.8 percent, Indonesia by 1.8 percent and Taiwan by 0.9 percent.
However, Balisacan said that in the case of the Philippines, the decline in imports from January to May was partly due to a drop in the prices of the imports and not entirely because of falling volumes.
Balisacan expressed optimism that imports would rise in the months ahead to support the expansion plans of local firms. He cited results of a recent survey conducted by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas on business sentiment showing that many firms in the country intended to expand.
The country's chief economist added that consumption was seen to sustain its rising trend, giving a lift to imports of consumer goods in the second half.
Meantime, the government earlier said it would support efforts aimed at helping Filipino exporters diversify their products and reduce the heavy dependence on electronics, which accounted for about 35 percent of total export receipts.
The government is updating the Philippine Development Plan for 2010 to 2016. Balisacan said the updated version, which is expected to be completed by the end of this year, would include government programs that aimed at developing other industries besides electronics.

|Pittsburgh man gets probation in Hines Ward threat
|Written by Admin
|Friday, 26 April 2013 08:15
Joshua Van Auker pleaded guilty Tuesday in front of an Allegheny County judge.
Authorities became involved after Van Auker sent a text message to Ward's assistant and threatened to release unspecified damaging information about a woman Van Auker dated who was allegedly previously involved with Ward.
Court records show the 26-year-old Van Auker pleaded guilty to a lesser version of the original charge of attempted theft by threatening to expose a secret.
Van Auker could not immediately be reached for comment Friday. The attorney who represented Van Auker after his arrest last year says he had no part in the plea bargain.

On the second morning of the 2008 Elite Series stop at Old Hickory Lake, California pro Jared Lintner, experienced a sound thrashing courtesy of his co-angler. When his boat-mate culled for the fifth time just before noon, Lintner was still searching for his first keeper bite. Faced with less than three hours to fish, Lintner made some crucial decisions that all anglers in a similar situation can learn from. "It seemed like everything my co-angler tried, worked out,"
Lintner remembers. "He would cast off the back of the boat and catch one, then turn around and flip to the bank and land a keeper." Admittedly, the success that Lintner was witnessing just a few feet behind him had a profound effect on his fishing. "I started fishing really fast trying to make sure that I covered everything. Instead of realizing that the fish wanted a slow presentation, I tried to force feed them. It kept getting worse because the more fish he caught behind me, the faster I fished."
Lintner is quick to point out that throughout the morning, his co-angler displayed good etiquette and only cast to areas that Lintner had already fished. The thought of returning to the dock with an empty livewell began to play mind games on the Elite Series pro, who says he ultimately reached a breaking point. "It got to me so bad that I almost broke a couple rods. I wasn't mad at the co-angler at all. I just needed to collect my thoughts.
Around noon, I pulled off my area, put all my tackle away, retied all my baits, and just sat there for a few moments." While the cooling-off period cut into valuable fishing time, it proved to be exactly what Lintner needed. With a renewed attitude, he tackled the final hours of the day as if it were an entirely new tournament. "I ran across the lake to a different spot and started catching bass.
When I ran back to the area where I had spent the morning, I just kept catching them. During the last two hours of the day, I caught 26 keepers in the exact same area where I didn't have a keeper bite all morning long," Lintner recounts.
After culling through the plethora of afternoon keepers, Lintner was able to weigh in a sizable limit and take home a Top 50 finish as well as some valuable lessons. "I learned a lot from that experience," he admits. "I've had guys catch fish behind me before, but nothing like that. It's really important to pay attention to why the other angler in the boat is getting the bites.
Fish are fish, and it's not like the bass is going to swim up to the boat and look at you and think, 'I'm not going to bite his line.'" Lintner offers this final piece of advice, "The angler who is getting all the bites has to be doing something to make those fish eat, and it's usually something really basic that is easily overlooked.
At Old Hickory, I probably could have caught those fish early if I had slowed down and let my bait just sit there. Instead, I became flustered and just kept banging my head against a wall." The next time you're scrambling for crumbs while the angler next to you is enjoying a feast, you can learn from this pro's experience and, perhaps, level out a lopsided day.

Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal recently signed HB 766 into law, which amends numerous provisions regulating creditors engaging in any consumer credit or deferred presentment transaction. Under the law, a creditor may not take assignments, undertake direct collection of payments, or enforce rights against consumers arising from consumer loans without first obtaining a license. However, a creditor may collect and enforce consumer loan obligations of which he has taken assignment for three months without a license if:
Notably, in a change from current law, the amendment eliminates the exemption for creditors that do not have in-state offices. Under the new law, such creditors will be required to obtain a license regardless of whether they maintain an in-state office.
The bill makes a number of other changes to the laws governing licensees, among them, changes to record-keeping requirements; requirements regarding registration with the Louisiana Secretary of State; finance charge and fee restrictions; requirements pertaining to payment plans for consumers who are unable to repay their consumer loans; and public notice requirements mandating that licensees post certain information at their lending locations and websites.

British actor Nicholas Hoult made us swoon pretty hard last month in the zombie romantic comedy 'Warm Bodies,' and now we're going to share those warm and fuzzy feelings with you.

Oh, good -- the guy who wrote two of the worst movies last year is "polishing" the script for Josh Trank's 'Fantastic Four' reboot. Seth Grahame-Smith must have impressed someone at Fox because they've just hired him to work his, uh, magic (?) on 'Fantastic Four.'

So What's Happening in the Petraeus Scandal? An Update
Oh, just a little bit happening here.
Yesterday I reported about Jill Kelley, the social liaison to MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, a friend of David and Holly Petraeus, to whom biographer Paula Broadwell, Petraeus' mistress, sent anonymous harassing emails.
Kelley was flipped out by the emails and called the FBI, triggering the investigation.
An FBI Agent was barred from the case after becoming personally involved with Kelley and sending her shirtless photos of himself: "New details about how the Federal Bureau of Investigation handled the case suggest that even as the bureau delved into Mr. Petraeus's personal life, the agency had to address conduct by its own agent—who allegedly sent shirtless photos of himself to a woman involved in the case prior to the investigation."
Another top Gen. John R. Allen, the commander of U.S. and NATO troops in Afghanistan, is apparently obsessed with Kelley too: "According to a senior U.S. defense official, the FBI has uncovered between 20,000 and 30,000 documents — most of them e-mails — of "potentially inappropriate" communications between Allen and Jill Kelley, a 37-year-old Tampa woman, whose close relationship with Petraeus ultimately led to his downfall. Allen, a Marine, succeeded Petraeus as the top allied commander in Afghanistan in July 2011. He also served as Petraeus's deputy when both generals led the military's Tampa-based Central Command from 2008 until 2010."
Kelley and her husband hosted General Petraeus at a party at their home: "She and her husband hosted Mr Petraeus at a party on their lawn for Tampa's annual Gasparilla parade in 2010. He arrived with a 28-car motorcade. Other guests included Pam Bondi, Florida's Attorney General and a close ally of Mitt Romney, the former presidential candidate."
Kelley has "lawyered up" and hired DC superlawyer Abbe Lowell and crisis PR person Judy Smith. Smith has repped Monica Lewinsky, Larry Craig, Michael Vick and Kobe Bryant. She issued this statement for the Kelleys: "We and our family have been friends with General Petraeus and his family for over 5 years. We respect his and his family's privacy and want the same for us and our three children."
Kelley says: 'I've done nothing wrong. I am the victim here. But it still feels awful.'
Eric Cantor was notified of the investigation, and at least one outlet says it was by the agent who was sending the shirtless photos: "On Saturday, Oct. 27, Cantor spoke by phone to an FBI employee who told him about an investigation, including the details about Petraeus' affair, and said he was concerned that classified information had been compromised.
Paula Broadwell has classified documents on her computer. Her house is being investigated.
And then there's this from Broadwell's father:
But Broadwell's father said Sunday his daughter is the victim of
character assassination and implied the bombshell story is just a smoke
screen for something bigger.
"This is about something else entirely, and the truth will come out," Broadwell's dad, Paul Krantz, told the Daily News outside his home in Bismarck, N.D.
"There is a lot more that is going to come out," said Krantz, claiming he was not allowed to elaborate. "You wait and see. There's a lot more here than meets the eye."
He said he supports his daughter "100%."
I am truly disgusted by any woman who would enter into a relationship with a married man. These women are vile, disgusting creatures who break up families.

Eric Cantor is concerned that classified information has been compromised. That's right: I wonder how he felt about Cheney & Co when they outed Valerie Plame.

Oh, this is getting good! Heterosexuals, Republicans, government security agents (shirtless!), married women, married men:
Tabloid heaven!! What's a war without a little hanky-panky!
So Broadwell was "embedded" in Afghanistan, that's what that means, and "all in" too. And not just once!

I'm curious about the agent who sent the shirtless photos. That detail sticks out.

Is this episode an example of the sanctity of marriage? As god intended?
Posted by: gary | Nov 13, 2012 8:17:33 AM
Why is the status of Petraeus' sex life anyone's business? It may show poor personal judgement, but does that really reflect on his professional abilities?
The only thing anyone should really be worried about is if this has compromised sensitive information. Nothing else.
Was it criminal? No. Was he being hypocritical, a la so many politicians who try to take away LGBT rights and are caught with 'rent boys'? No.
The state has no place is the bedroom of the people.
The people have no business in the bedrooms of its statesmen and stateswomen, either.

This seems like a really big deal, but almost nothing in this scandal makes sense so far. I especially want to see how a general in Afghanistan sent 20,000 pages of emails to this woman.
Posted by: Brian | Nov 13, 2012 8:25:44 AM
When the top brass can't control their own libidos and behavior, it's safe to say they were *projecting* when they were predicting all the *sexual chaos* and *distraction* repealing DADT would cause.

OMG men in the military chasing women! That is the second most important thing they do to amuse themselves. The first most important is killing people. I was an air man in the 1950s. I got kicked out for chasing men. They said I was a security risk. I was working in the post bakery. Was I going to give away the Air Force's top secret formula for making bread? When I went before the investigating board of officers and the chairman asked me if I had anything to say I answered, "Yes. My family knows I am gay. Now the Air Force knows I am gay. How can I be blackmailed? There is not a man on this board who does not have something in his life he is hiding. Every one of you are more susceptible to being blackmailed than I am right now." Every man on that 5 officer board hung his head. Skirt chancers, to the guard house with the lot of them.

28 car motorcade [errr, correction...caravan]? WTF? Our 'leaders' are too big for their britches. There was a time when JFK's motorcade [they called them motorcades, not 'caravans'] was TINY compared to the 'caravans' of today, and his limo [which was often not even armor-plated] went through regular traffic, stopped at lights, just like the average peon. Harry Truman used to sneak out of the white house minus his secret service detail to drink at a local bar. This sh*t is getting ridiculous.
Obviously there's much more to this story than extramarital affairs. This looks almost like a purge, American-style.
Posted by: ratbastard | Nov 13, 2012 9:50:28 AM
The sexual and romantic relationships are not a matter of public concern.
However, there are legitimate public concerns around inappropriate disclosure of national security information. Blackmail is not really the issue as that does not seem to be Mrs. Broadwell's motive. She does not seem to have set out to harm Gen. Petraeus, or harm the country.
I am amazed, though, at the 20 - 30,000 emails from Gen. Allen to Mrs. Kelley. In my entire electronic life, I doubt I've sent a total of 20,000 emails. He's supposed to be commanding a war. When did he find time for that much email time with one person?

Posted by: John | Nov 13, 2012 11:03:21 AM
That Eric Cantor knew of this on Oct. 27 pretty much blows holes in the Foxpublican theory that POTUS sat on this story until after the election. and why were they talking to EC and not, oh let's see, POTUS or Dianne Feinstein, Chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee? and how does one send 20-30,000 emails to one person? i smell a rat.

Sorry, guys, it is a matter of public concern. Depending on when it started... It is illegal under the Uniform Code of Military Justice to commit adultery. This has ramifications for pension/etc. The CIA also has (believe it or not) a specific procedure to follow if you want to commit adultery.

Sawmill Creek Resort plans to officially open an outdoor ice skating rink in few days, but for now the resort is offering a sneak preview.
Ice skating will be offered on a pond behind Mulligan's Pub by the green for the ninth hole of the golf course, said Greg Hill, Sawmill Creek's owner.
Next week, after the pond's surface has been prepared, Sawmill Creek will begin charging admission and renting skates for a reasonable price to people who need them, Hill said.
This week, anyone who wants to can bring their own skates and try the pond, which formed thick ice during this week's cold snap, Hill said.
The frozen pond will be open to skaters as of today.
No specific times have been scheduled — just show up and skate.

SCHOOL NEWS: The Californian, Dec. 8, 2008
Educators nominated for honor
Three local teachers and one county education administrator were among 22 educators recognized last week for Region 10 of the California League of High Schools.
Recognized were Jeff Kingsberg, a social science teacher at Chaparral High School; Joseph Williams, a teacher at Paloma Valley High School in Menifee; Cari Strange, a teacher at Temescal Canyon High School in Lake Elsinore; and Riverside County Office of Education Superintendent Kenn Young.
Each year, Region 10 recognizes outstanding educators, one of whom will move on as a state finalist.
Cheerleaders help with holiday festival
LAKE ELSINORE -- The Temescal High School cheerleaders are helping with a holiday celebration Sunday at Lake Elsinore Marketplace on Central Avenue.
The celebration will include live music, a dance performance, photographs with Santa Claus, a toy drive for Spark of Love and free gift wrapping, courtesy of the cheerleaders, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The festivities will take place in the food court, near Cold Stone Creamery.
Murrieta district recognized by CIF
MURRIETA -- Murrieta Valley High School was recently one of seven campuses in the Southern Section of the California Interscholastic Federation to be named a 2008 Champion for Character School.
Murrieta Valley Senior Jacob Tarabilda was one of 17 athletes named a 2008 Champion for Character. Also, Vista Murrieta Athletic Director Ray Moore was one of 11 administrators bestowed with the same honor.
The federation has partnered with the Josephson Institute of Ethics to develop 16 principles of coaching, competing and teaching called Pursuing Victory with Honor.
The recognitions were given at the fifth annual Champions for Character awards ceremony, held Oct. 23 at The Rose Center in Westminster.
Transfer requests now accepted
TEMECULA -- The Temecula Valley Unified School District is now accepting intradistrict transfer requests.
Parents of students living within the district's boundaries have until Jan. 30 to apply to attend the school of their choice. Requests received after the deadline will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
Space is the main factor that influences whether a transfer request will be approved, school officials say. If the number of transfer requests exceeds the space available, a lottery will be held.
Students presently attending on an intradistrict transfer will automatically be renewed, unless space at the school is a concern. Parents of current fifth- and eighth-graders must apply for a new transfer if they want to attend a school other than the one they are assigned to based on their residence.
Parents can download a transfer request from the district's Web site, www.tvusd.k12.ca.us . Completed forms must be returned to the child welfare office.
Call (951) 506-7984.
Students collect money for hurricane victims
MURRIETA -- Calvary Christian Elementary School recently collected about $1,800 for victims of Hurricane Ike.
In a program called Bucks for Blessings, each class was given a decorated coffee can and students brought in change and dollar bills and filled several cans.
The money will be given to a nonprofit ministry called Samaritan's Purse, which is helping hurricane victims.

How The NSA Works Hard To Break Encryption Any Way It Can
from the brute-force dept
As the report notes, the NSA has the most trouble around open source programs, because it's much more difficult to insert helpful backdoors:
Experts agree it is far more difficult for intelligence agencies to manipulate open source software programs than many of the closed systems developed by companies like Apple and Microsoft. Since anyone can view free and open source software, it becomes difficult to insert secret back doors without it being noticed. Transcripts of intercepted chats using OTR encryption handed over to the intelligence agency by a partner in Prism -- an NSA program that accesses data from at least nine American internet companies such as Google, Facebook and Apple -- show that the NSA's efforts appear to have been thwarted in these cases: "No decrypt available for this OTR message." This shows that OTR at least sometimes makes communications impossible to read for the NSA.When it comes to non-open source systems, well, there the NSA has its ways in. In fact, the NSA seems rather proud of the fact that it can make "cryptographic modifications to commercial or indigenous cryptographic information security devices or systems in order to make them exploitable."
The NSA also has apparently been able to crack HTTPS connections, and does so regularly:
The NSA and its allies routinely intercept such connections -- by the millions. According to an NSA document, the agency intended to crack 10 million intercepted https connections a day by late 2012. The intelligence services are particularly interested in the moment when a user types his or her password. By the end of 2012, the system was supposed to be able to "detect the presence of at least 100 password based encryption applications" in each instance some 20,000 times a month.HTTPS is still a lot more secure against non-NSA-level hackers, but it certainly shows that it's not a perfect solution.
Another big reveal: the NSA has the ability (at least some of the time) to decrypt SSH (Secure Shell) which many of us use to access computers/servers remotely.
There's lots more in the article and in the many, many included documents (just a few of which are shown below). It's well worth reading.
However, the key point is that the NSA is working very, very hard to undermine key encryption systems used around the internet to keep people safe. And rather than sharing when those systems are cracked and helping to make them stronger, the NSA is exploiting those cracks to its own advantage. That may not be a surprise, but for years the NSA has insisted that it is helping to make encryption stronger to better protect the public. The revelations from this article suggest that isn't even remotely close to true.

National team competitions
27-14, 9-20, 14-19, 20-14
Sergey Schepotkin, Dynamo Moscow Coach:
"It was a very important game, because the Spanish team is a very good team, they played well at home. Only due to the strong character of our players we could win in Spain. The game was tough.. The girls worked hard. They could show their character and win tonight."
Shannon Johnson, Ibiza Sport:
"It was a good game. Dynamo played very good. In the first quarter they scored 27 points. It's very hard to let the team score so many points. We had a good game, but it was not enough. Dynamo played very well today."
Alex Perez, Ibiza Sport Coach:
"We started the game very bad, 17 points down early. Then we started to play, put inside and in fourth quarter we were three points up but couldn't control the game. Dynamo has very good players. Both games in Ibiza and in Moscow were very hard."

Other books don't. The 20-volume Oxford English Dictionary, say, or Bockus's hefty four-volume medical text Gastroenterology. Enter Versaware Technologies, a text-conversion company that partnered with Lycos last week to provide users access to a multimedia version of the Funk & Wagnall's Encyclopedia (all 29 volumes). Unlike previous companies that have tried to woo book publishers into digitizing their titles, Versaware is specifically targeting the reference book market, and has signed deals with Random House, Oxford, Merriam-Webster and others.
What Versaware wants most, however, is to become an e-bookstore, selling downloadable, multimedia versions of textbooks and reference materials through its Web site. The current selection is a little sparse at around 200 titles, but Sol Rosenberg, Versaware executive vice-president, promises several thousand more by the end of the summer. "Textbooks and reference books lend themselves to a multimedia approach," he says. "We see the day when students will buy their required texts in an e-book format. It'll be cheaper and easier to use. There's a revolution going on in how people obtain information, and we want to be on the cutting edge of that."
Rosenberg says his Versabooks will cost slightly less than the list price, and there's little doubt an electronic encyclopedia is handier than its hardcover cousin. Multimedia versions of reference books have so many benefits they threaten to wipe out the market for the print versions altogether. Encyclopaedia Brittanica will run you $1250 and take up a whole wall in your home, but the CD-ROM version costs $120 and only occupies a slip in your CD carrier. For $5 a month you can simply access the encyclopedist's encyclopedia online. Likewise, Microsoft's Encarta Online Library, arguably the first successful multimedia encyclopedia, also runs $10 a month. It's enough to drive even the most technophobic of librarians to euphoria.
"This is the most fantastic thing that has happened in many, many years," says Dr. Thomas Supernant, a professor in library science at Queens College. "People can tailor their learning styles to the new media, so it provides much more variability in the way information is used. If a kid looks up 'Whales' in an online encyclopedia, he can actually watch the whale jump. That gives children a much stronger visual orientation on realities that used to only exist on paper."

POMEROY — A first step toward turning over ownership of the old Middleport school building from the Village of Middleport to the Meigs County Council on Aging for the development of a new Senior Center has now been taken.
In late December, Middleport Village Council voted to begin the property transfer process, and the Board of Trustees of the Meigs County Council on Aging voted to proceed. The goal of the project is to add space for expanded services.
What this means is that once the building is transferred and funding grants are secured, renovation will begin on the vacated school building in preparation for moving the Senior Citizens Center there from its current location on Mulberry Heights in Pomeroy.
Beth Shaver, Council on Aging executive director, said that conversations about the possibility of securing the building as a location for a new center have been ongoing with Middleport officials for several years.
"We've outgrown where we are now. There's no space to expand, and we need to make a move," said Shaver. "We have been planning for this future for over ten years, and the future begins now."
Mayor Michael Gerlach described the proposed move as not only good for providing expansion opportunities for the Council on Aging but an excellent development opportunity for the Village of Middleport.
Shaver envisions the Council on Aging once the move occurs as "much bigger" than a senior center. She sees it as a "mixing of generations within one building, a place offering services and programs for all ages, and as an ever-expanding community center."
Since there is an auditorium with seating for several hundred, she views it as a place for performing arts of all kinds. She said plans call for a renovated cafeteria where not only can seniors enjoy lunch, but full-scale banquets and receptions can be held. As for the Wellness Center, the plan is to expand the entire exercise program, to have showers available, and to use the surrounding open space for a variety of activities for everyone from youth to elders.
Youth activities will be encouraged, she said, and the size of the building will mean that programs like Yesteryear where senior volunteers work with students from schools on enrichment activities can be held on site.
"As times change, we have to change," said Shaver, noting that the building will provide space for all kinds of activities, like game rooms, craft areas, education space and social activities.
She also noted that there will be plenty of parking on a flat lot, that in time adult day care will be offered, and that volunteer opportunities will grow and provide meaningful occupation for many older adults with talents to share.
She listed as added bonuses to the project — "It will bring a landmark building back to life, it will bring construction jobs during the renovation and add a few permanent jobs upon completion."
There will be very little change to the physical structure, and the renovations will stay true to the original architectural design, she added. The emphasis now is on securing sources of funding, a project that the Meigs County Council on Aging is spearheading.
This is just the beginning of plans we have put in place," Shaver concluded, acknowledging that things won't happen overnight, that "everything will take time."
