Why isnt my ram running at 1333?
On Saturday I bought the following
XFX 790i ultra
2X2GB Corsair XMS3 DHX Dual Path Heat Xchange PC3-10666 1333mhz cas9
I have left everything bone stock in the bios, defaults are loaded, its currently in linked mode, the cpu's running 1333fsb and i noticed in the bios the rams running 1066mhz and not 1333fsb, does anyone know why?
Also, if i unlink the cpu and memory, and up the memory to 1333fsb will i get better performance?
Thanks guys
Re: Why isnt my ram running at 1333?
1066 must be on the spd so is the default but the memory is guaranteed for 1333mhz
Do you OC the CPU?
Re: Why isnt my ram running at 1333?
If you can link it to 1:1 ratio that will provide the best performance. You might also have to up the voltage for the sticks to run at their rated speed. Run CPU-Z and you should be able to see the SPD values of the chip under the memory tab. That will list the proper voltage needed to run at 1333mhz.
Re: Why isnt my ram running at 1333?
thanks guys for your help, much appriciated, it was my fault, it was set on auto in the bios, soon as i selected linked, the option below said "sync mode" and now its running @ 1333mhz for both :)
I do have another question, now that the ram is running 1333, the timings have changed to the following:
basically now after 15 mins or so im getting hard locks in crysis....is this a timing issue?
Re: Why isnt my ram running at 1333?
You may have to manually set the Timings of your RAM, unless those are the correct Timings in the pic you posted. Check your CPU and RAM voltage, as well, to make sure you're not getting VDroop on the CPU VCore.
Re: Why isnt my ram running at 1333?
Re: Why isnt my ram running at 1333?
I know im rather noobish, thats why im so glad you guys are here to help, it was a VOLTAGE issue on the ram, was ment to be set to 1.6 like Bman212121 has said.
Instead of taking the pi$$ outta me you's have helped a noob in need lmao, much appriciated.

- Spray large pan with cooking spray. Add chopped onion and bell pepper and cook over medium-high heat until softened, about 5 minutes. Add meat and thyme, cooking until done, about 5 more minutes.
- Add vegetables, beef broth, and cornstarch, stirring to combine. Cook a few minutes until sauce has thickened. Remove from heat.

Additional Tips
Cooking Tips: 1 (14.4 oz.) bag of frozen pepper stir-fry can be substituted for the fresh onion and pepper.
Keep it Healthy: Sweet potatoes are chock full of minerals and vitamins, making them a fabulous and healthy starch alternative.

Curtis Wehmeyer
The Ramsey County Attorney's Office has launched a new criminal investigation into how top officials at the Twin Cities Archdiocese handled the case of a convicted pedophile priest.
Abusive Minnesota Priest Facing New Charges In Wisconsin
An abusive Minnesota priest is facing new charges in Wisconsin.
Archbishop Nienstedt Investigated For Alleged Inappropriate Sexual Conduct
Archbishop John Nienstedt of the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis is being investigated for allegedly making unwanted sexual advances toward a former Twin Cities priest, among other allegations, according to the archbishop's former top canon lawyer.
Ramsey Co. Reopens Cases Against Archbishop Nienstedt And Fmr. Priest
Prosecutors say they want St. Paul Police to reopen a sexual abuse case against Archbishop John Nienstedt, but not because of any new evidence. The Ramsey County Attorney's office told WCCO that it doesn't want reports from the Nienstedt case being made public yet because of other elements that need to be investigated. They say those other elements don't have anything to do with the archbishop.
Teen Molested By Priest Sues Archdiocese
A teenage boy who was molested by the Rev. Curtis Wehmeyer from 2008 through 2011 sued the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis on Thursday, alleging it conspired to protect the priest from criminal prosecution and conceal his history of sexual misconduct from the public. The lawsuit comes one day after Ramsey County prosecutors said they wouldn't charge members of the archdiocese for the way they handled allegations against Wehmeyer because there was insufficient evidence to prove anyone failed to immediately report the abuse. Wehmeyer pleaded guilty in 2012 and is serving a five-year prison sentence.

Wehmeyer was the pastor of Blessed Sacrament parish in east St. Paul.

Tenacious D Festival Supreme to Pay 'Tribute' Again
Last October, Jack Black and Kyle Gass (aka the duo behind Tenacious D) set up Festival Supreme, a music-and-comedy festival held on the Santa Monica Pier in Santa Monica, CA. Who showed up to wow the crowds? Oh, just acts like Zach Galifianakis, Adam Sandler, Sarah Silverman, and Fred Armisen. Sorry to have missed it? Word has just gotten out that Festival Supreme will return for a second installment this fall, on October 25 at the Los Angeles Sports Arena and Exhibition Park in (what else) Los Angeles, CA. The lineup for the festival will be announced on Tuesday, May 27, with tickets going on sale on Friday, May 30. Stay tuned for more information as we get it!
Tenacious D was formed by Gass and Black in 1994, and the duo has released three albums: 2001's Tenacious D, 2006's The Pick of Destiny, and 2012's Rize of the Fenix. Though they're a comedy duo, they're certainly not playing around with their music: their releases have featured cameos by musicians like Dave Grohl (of the Foo Fighters and Nirvana) and Brooks Wackerman (of Bad Religion) fame. Tenacious D was given an eponymous television series in 1999, and they starred in and recorded the soundtrack for their own feature film in 2006, called Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny.

UK cancer sufferer to appeal in Herceptin case
LONDON (Reuters) – A British woman with early-stage breast
cancer lost a test case legal bid on Wednesday to force her
health authority to pay for the potentially life-saving drug
Herceptin, but vowed on Wednesday to continue her battle.
High Court judge Justice Bean ruled that Swindon Primary
Care Trust in Wiltshire, which had refused Ann Marie Rogers,
54, the costly drug treatment, need not pay for Herceptin, made
by Switzerland's Roche.
Summarising his decision, the judge said that while some
primary care trusts do fund Herceptin for early-stage breast
cancer sufferers, that was not Swindon's policy, other than in
exceptional cases.
"The court's task is not to say which policy is better but
to decide whether Swindon's policy is arbitrary or irrational
and thus unlawful," said Justice Bean.
"I find that Swindon's policy is not unlawful, whether in
English domestic law or under the jurisprudence of the European
Court of Human Rights.
"Accordingly, despite my sympathy with Ms Rogers' plight, I
must dismiss the claim," he said.
But Rogers, a mother of three, expressed her anger at the
ruling and said she would continue to fight to receive the drug
free of charge.
"Ann Marie Rogers is devastated at the outcome of this
judicial review but is determined to take her fight for this
drug to the Court of Appeal," her lawyer Yogi Amin told
reporters outside court.
"Ann Marie has an aggressive form of breast cancer and has
been let down by her health authority. Access to life-saving
cancer treatment depends on where you live in England and
Wales," he added.
"A clear direction of the availability of Herceptin for
early-stage breast cancer sufferers is now needed."
It was the first case over Herceptin to reach the High
Court and could set a precedent for patients seeking access to
the drug on the National Health Service.
At an earlier hearing, the judge was told that Rogers felt
as though she had been given "a death sentence" as a result of
having been initially refused the drug, which costs about
20,000 pounds ($35,000) a year.
Herceptin is one of a new generation of targeted therapies
which attack only cancer cells and are tolerated much better
than traditional chemotherapy.
The drug is only licensed for use in women with advanced
breast cancer, although doctors can use their discretion to
prescribe it in other cases.
Research has shown Herceptin can help patients in the early
stages of breast cancer but many health authorities say they
will only fund treatment in exceptional cases.
Rogers has been receiving the drug since last year when
another High Court judge held she had an "arguable case."
He gave the go-ahead for this month's challenge to the
Trust's stance and ordered that it should provide the drug for
Rogers pending the hearing.

Resort is pretty, simple, organic in a way, and fresh. When you leave, you have experienced a stress release atmosphere for your body and mind.
We had a great meal here for our family of 15 in honor of a birthday. We sat in the main dining room, which was pretty close to the grand staircase, the Christmas tree and the roaring fireplace. The food was very good (though in no way exceptional), the wine selection acceptable and the service very good as well. However,...

I was looking forward to coming to Cranwell for some time. I go to a Day Spa near by but they do not have the amenities that Cranwell has. It was a splurge for me to get a 50 minute massage and European facial. The bill was close to $300 dollars which is more than I would spend but I...
Played the 18 hole golf course. It was a challenging course with difficult greens that slope. The staff was very friendly as well as the starters. Fairways and greens were well manicured. I would definitely come back to play here.
Very small greens with lots of slope. Great conditions and friendly staff. Played it in under three hours and had fun. There are many challenging holes as well.
In viewing their website you would think that this golf course was fabulous. What a surprise I had. The course is overwatered and not mowed very often. We had difficulty finding some of the tees.Bathroom facilities very limited. They will not see me again. A big waste of money.
Great hotel.the place just beams with old world charm. Rooms are nice and many restaurants and eating areas so it's a little confusing... Most people go there for the golfing. Breakfast is great there. Elegant and nice..!
Just attended a wedding with reception at The Cranwell. Absolutely gorgeous. Food excellent, service excellent, gorgeous views of the mountains. Beautiful venue. A bit hot though. AC needed to be cranked up.

My 1st job was at the MTV Movie Awards in April. It was so fun to see all the celebrities back stage and watch the show from the audience. My pictures suck, but you get the idea. Eminem and Rihnna's performance was my favorite part.
So much has happened!
I finally took the plunge, again, and moved to LA to be a celerity makeup artist. My sister is an already established celebrity stylist. With her help, we are taking over. At the end of March she met me in AZ, we loaded up, and didn't look back. It was so scary to make this decision but a drive of mine that I no longer could ignore. So follow me on my new journey!

This look is so glamourous. The focus is the lip so keep all other makeup simple and diffused. If your wearing gold or warm colors choose a merlot or burgundy color. If your wearing silver or cool colors choose a deep violet or dark purple. Definitely rock both this fall!

Pumpkin Love
October is here!!
I'm such a sucker for the pumpkin craze. Not only because I've always loved pumpkin pie, but now it makes me feel like fall is here. I love everything about fall! The colors, the clothes, the weather, the smells, the food, the feel, and of course knowing it's closer to christmas. I'm a bit over the top but I don't care. So the other day I went to Trader Joe's and what do you know, the have lots of pumpkin stuff. I was so excited, I just started throwing them in the basket. I ended up at a pumpkin body butter display talking with an older lady about the ingredients and what we thought. I finally looked at her and said, "let's be real, I'm buying it because it has pumpkin in it." she laughed. Now if I can just get around to making all the recipes I pinned on pinterest.
|Waking up for pumpkin coffee and creamer helps my days start off sweet. I take it with me when me and the girls go for our walk.
|I had never had pumpkin soup, it was pretty good. When the weather is cool, I love all soup!
|Loving the body butter. It's like whipped butter, not to oily, and smells great.
|Add These were reccomended by a employee, and I'll be going back for more. It was sweet and salty but not to heavy. New fav!
|Told you I was a sucker! I even bought the pumpkin treats for the girls.

From the article: Alcohol and Breastfeeding
Have you been in the situation where some disagreed with how you approached drinking wine, cocktails, or beer and breastfeeding? How did you handle pressure from others or a difference of opinion? What do you when someone judges your parenting?
- This article is really helpful for me . I didn't know about the fact . I have a baby girl , age 1 1/2 months . Occasionally I like to drink . Mainly weekends . Now i will follow the rules . Thank you .

It's horrible
- I think that it is horrible that a mother cannot control herself enough that she has to put alcohol in her young baby's body. I don't care how much it is, I do not want my baby being introduced to alcohol. I can wait: what is the big deal to go several more months without or atleast pump enough that you can let your system clean out a little. My goodness!
- —Guest Jacquie
- I wanted to breastfeed my boys for a long time, but I don't think you can do it well if you feel like you're in prison. I did real research and talked to my doctor to get the facts about what was really off limits and what was ok. I didn't drink at all during pregnancy once I found out. So, could I have gone another 14 or so months without a drink? Yes. But I find it pleasurable to sit with my husband on a Friday night and have a glass of wine. Those are our "date nights." I chose not to do it within the first 2 months of birth b/c the baby eats so often and is just so tiny. But after that, a nice Malbec while we take in a netflix show lets us all relax and bond.

Thank you
- Cheers to you for your no-nonsense facts on alcohol and breastfeeding. People, THIS is the article you should trust regarding the subject. I read a lot about this subject while pregnant, and all the reputable books written by doctors that I read concur with this article on this subject.

Chuck Aaron is the only pilot in the United States that is licensed to do areobatic stunts in a helicopter. He flies a modified MBB BO-105 CBS, and if you've never seen him you can go to YouTube and watch him do things that a helicopter isn't supposed to do....back flips, barrel rolls, etc....just search "Red Bull Helicopter"....
I've been wanting to build a model of this for some time now, but there is no kit of the CBS version of the 105....the CBS is the "lifeflight" version and has a slightly longer fuselage. I finally decided to use two 1/32 Italeri BO 105s "spliced" together to create my own 105 CBS. I added collectives and masking tape seat belts to the interior, and added steps to the runners. I also designed my own decals. Everthing else is from the kit. The hardest part was masking for paint, but I'm pleased with the way it came out.

Thanks again, and Sam, the paint was really a pain, but not just the taping....my first effort had the blue wrinkle up over the white, so I had to strip it, retape it, and shoot it all over again. Lets just say that I'm glad it's finished, lol!

Why do BMWs' cost so much to run??

ive never thought my bmw bikes were expensive to run, maybe ive been lucky, apart from tyres/pads/oil etc, in the last 10 years on three bikes, the spare parts that have been needed are very few, my R1200c had a new rear light, a battery, and a flasher unit in 50,000miles, it was 5years old when i bought it. the R1150gsa has been a fun bike to ride, but i did have to put a new battery on it. i know if the abs pump or final drive fails it can cost a lot to fix using new parts and having a dealer do the work, but there so easy to work on and theres lots of second hand parts about, it makes sense to fix it yourself. good maintainance helps, again so easy to do.even the tyres seem to last a fair few miles.

The NYT has a report on an IG Report from May that reveals the Postal Service has been doing a lot more "mail covers" (that is, tracking the metadata from letters) than it had previously revealed.
In a rare public accounting of its mass surveillance program, the United States Postal Service reported that it approved nearly 50,000 requests last year from law enforcement agencies and its own internal inspection unit to secretly monitor the mail of Americans for use in criminal and national security investigations.
The number of requests, contained in a little-noticed 2014 audit of the surveillance program by the Postal Service's inspector general, shows that the surveillance program is more extensive than previously disclosed and that oversight protecting Americans from potential abuses is lax.
Among the most interesting revelations is that USPS previously lowballed the number of covers it does in response to a NYT FOIA by simply not counting most of the searches.
In information provided to The Times earlier this year under the Freedom of Information Act, the Postal Service said that from 2001 through 2012, local, state and federal law enforcement agencies made more than 100,000 requests to monitor the mail of Americans. That would amount to an average of some 8,000 requests a year — far fewer than the nearly 50,000 requests in 2013 that the Postal Service reported in the audit.
The difference is that the Postal Service apparently did not provide to The Times the number of surveillance requests made for national security investigations or those requested by its own investigation and law enforcement arm, the Postal Inspection Service. Typically, the inspection service works hand in hand with outside law enforcement agencies that have come to the Postal Service asking for investigations into fraud, pornography, terrorism or other potential criminal activity.
The report led Ben Wittes to engage in a thought experience, predicting the response to this revelation will be muted compared to that of the phone dragnet.
All of this raises the question: Will this program generate the sort of outrage, legal challenge, and feverish energy for legislative reform that the NSA program has? Or will it fall flat?
I have this feeling that the answer is the latter: The Postal Service's looking at the outside of letters at the request of law enforcement just won't have the same legs as does the big bad NSA looking at the routing information for telephone calls. The reason, I suspect, is not that there are profound legal differences between the two programs. Yes, one can certainly argue that the difference between a program that aspires to be totalizing and one that is notionally targeted, even if very large, is fundamental enough to justify regarding the former with great skepticism and tolerating the latter with a shrug. On the other hand, one could just as easily argue that a program that involves the active perusal of tens of thousands of people's metadata without strict controls is far more threatening than one that involves tight procedures under judicial oversight and involves initial queries of only a few hundred people's data.
The reason, I suspect, that this program will not excite the same sorts of passions as does the NSA's program is that it involves old technology—paper—and it's been going on for a long time.
I agree with Wittes that this won't generate the same kind of outrage.
The fact that few noticed when Josh Gerstein reported on this very same report (and revealed that the USPS was trying to prevent the report's release) back in June (I noticed, but did not write on it) supports Wittes' point.
All that said, Wittes' piece serves as an interesting example. Partly because he overstates the oversight of the phone dragnet program. Somehow Wittes doesn't think the watchlisting of 3,000 presumed American persons with no First Amendment review until 2009 is not an example of abuse. Nor the preservation of 3,000 files worth of phone dragnet data on a research server, mixed in with Stellar Wind data, followed by its destruction before NSA had to explain what it was doing there (which is a more recent abuse than Joe Arpaio's use of the mail dragnet to target a critic, reported in the NYT).
But also because Wittes misconstrues what a true comparison would entail.
To compare phone dragnet, generally, with the mail dragnet described by the NYT (now including both its national security and Postal Inspection searches), you'd have to compare Title III and local law enforcement phone metadata searches (which number in the hundreds of thousands and include the use of Stingrays to track phone location), Hemisphere (which must number in the 10s of thousands and not only undergo no court review, but are explicitly parallel constructed), the use of NSLs to obtain phone metadata (which number in the 10s of thousands, and which are not overseen by a court, have been subject to abuse, also miscount the most important requests, and access new kinds of data that probably aren't really covered under the law), the Section 215 dragnet, the FBI bulk PRTT program, as well as the far far bigger EO 12333 phone dragnet.
That is, Wittes wants to compare the totality of the mail dragnet with a teeny segment of even the NSA phone dragnet, all while ignoring the state, local, and other federal agency (including at least FBI, USMS, and DEA) phone dragnets entirely, and declare the former roughly equivalent to the latter (better in some ways, worse in others). If you were to compare the totality of the mail dragnet (admittedly, you'd have to add Fedex and other courier dragnets) with the totality of the phone dragnet, the latter would vastly exceed the former in every way: in abuse, in lack of oversight, and in scale.
And to measure the "passions" mobilized against the phone dragnet, you'd have to measure it all. Attention to the various parts has been fleeting: today there's more focus on Stingrays, for example, with comparatively less attention to the Section 215 phone dragnet, along with a focus on Hemisphere. There's so much phone dragnet to go around, it's like a never-ending game of whack-a-mole.
Or perhaps more appropriately, of that old fable of the 6 blind men and the elephant, where each of a series of blind men describe an elephant. These men each feel one part of the elephant and see a pillar, a rope, a tree branch, a hand fan, a wall, and a solid pipe. Together, they fail to conceive of the elephant in its entirety.
Wittes' partial view of the phone dragnet describes just one part of one part of the dragnet elephant. At both the NSA, the FBI, and local JTTFs (at a minimum) you're not conceiving the dragnet unless you understand the implications of matching your phone records and email records to your financial purchases and Internet search cookies — and, your snail mail, which is ultimately just a part of the larger dragnet. Each of those dragnets has several interlocking forms, too. More Title III orders, more NSLs, more Section 215 orders, and more EO 12333 collection. All dumped into a black box that — even for the Section 215 phone dragnet — undergoes no apparent oversight.
But Wittes is by no means alone in his partial view of the dragnet elephant. We all suffer from it. Since the very start of the Snowden leaks, I have been trying hard to track how NSA data gets shared with other agencies (see, for example, NCTC, FBI and CIA, "Team Sport," ATF). I suspect I've got as good an understanding of how this data worms its way through the government as anyone outside of some corners of government, but it still looks like an elephant trunk to me.
That, to me, is the real lesson from the focus on yet another dragnet available to yet more intelligence and law enforcement agencies. None of us yet have a good sense of the scope of the dragnet. It is, quite literally, inconceivable. And we have even less of an idea of what happens after the dragnet feeds all that data into a series of black boxes, most subject to very little oversight.
With each new elephant body part identified, we'd do well to remember, it's just one more body part.
Der Spiegel and The Intercept published collaborative reporting this weekend on another Snowden document — this one referring to a National Security Agency program named TREASURE MAP.
The most chilling part of this reporting is a network engineer's reaction (see here on video) when he realizes he is marked or targeted as a subject of observation. He's assured it's not personal, it's about the work he does – but his reaction still telegraphs stress. An intelligence agency can get to him, has gotten to him; he's touchable.
The truth is that almost any of us who follow national security, cyber warfare, or information technology are potential subjects depending on our work or play.
The metadata we generate is only part of the observation process; it provides information about our individual patterns of behavior, but may not actually disclose where we are.
TREASURE MAP goes further, by providing the layout of the network on which any of us are generating metadata. But there is some other component either within TREASURE MAP, or within a complementary tool, that provides the physical address of any networked electronic device.
The NSA has the ability to track individuals not only by Internet Protocol addresses (IP addresses), but by media access control addresses (MAC addresses), according a recent interview with Snowden by James Bamford in Wired. This little nugget was a throwaway; perhaps readers already assumed this capability has existed, or didn't understand the implications:
…But Snowden's disenchantment would only grow. It was bad enough when spies were getting bankers drunk to recruit them; now he was learning about targeted killings and mass surveillance, all piped into monitors at the NSA facilities around the world. Snowden would watch as military and CIA drones silently turned people into body parts. And he would also begin to appreciate the enormous scope of the NSA's surveillance capabilities, an ability to map the movement of everyone in a city by monitoring their MAC address, a unique identifier emitted by every cell phone, computer, and other electronic device.
[emphasis added]
In simple terms, IP addresses are like phone numbers — they are assigned. They can be static; a printer on a business network, for example, may be assigned a static address to assure it is always available to accept print orders at a stationary location. IP addresses may also be dynamic; if there's an ongoing change in users on a network, allowing them to use a temporary address works best. Think of visits to your local coffee shop where customers use WiFi as an example. When they leave the premise, their IP address will soon revert to the pool available on the WiFi router.

It is looking more and more likely that Abdullah Abdullah will continue his boycott of the vote-counting process in Afghanistan. As I noted Friday, thousands of his supporters took to the streets to protest the expected outcome and to call for fraudulent votes to be discarded. Abdullah's camp released even more evidence Saturday, consisting of two audiotapes of conversations among officials in Paktika province regarding 20 ballot boxes which were found to be already stuffed with ballots on the night before the election. ToloNews informs us that one of the tapes was a conversation between the Paktika provincial Independent Election Commission (IEC) head and the executive assistant of Zia-ul-Haq Amarkhail (the head of the IEC, who resigned after Abdullah released the first set of tapes). The second tape purports to be yet another recording of Amarkhail himself, this time participating in a discussion (again with the provincial IEC head) of how to deflect blame for the stuffed ballot boxes found in Paktika:
Amarkhail begins by stressing his frustration about the situation with the ANA commander revealing information to the media about the ballot stuffing. The provincial IEC head told Amarkhail that a video was made of the men stuffing 20 ballot boxes with 12,000 votes and in each box exactly 600 votes were stuffed and that the ANA wants to "broadcast this through TOLO TV."
Concerned and upset about their position, the provincial IEC head suggests to Amarkhail that they hold a press conference defaming the ANA commander by stating that these frauds were conducted by the commander and his men.
After proposing the idea, the Gov. of Paktika, Muhebullah Samim, takes the phone approving the idea of holding a press conference expressing to Amarkhail that this is their only way out is by blaming the commander that he forced the "boys to do this and the boys will admit to it. The boys are willing to say that the ANA commander has forced them to stuff boxes."
Content with the idea, Amarkhail agrees to the plan and begins to tell the men what needs to be done and how.
In a followup article, ToloNews provides the most incriminating part of the discussion and notes that they had reported the discovery of the stuffed ballot boxes before the election on the day they were found by the army: Continue reading
Ken Dilanian has a very interesting article in the Los Angeles Times outlining the latest failure in Congress' attempts to exert oversight over drones. Senator Carl Levin had the reasonable idea of calling a joint closed session of the Senate Armed Services and Intelligence Committees so that the details of consolidating drone functions under the Pentagon (and helping the CIA to lose at least one of its paramilitary functions) could be smoothed out. In the end, "smooth" didn't happen:
An effort by a powerful U.S. senator to broaden congressional oversight of lethal drone strikes overseas fell apart last week after the White House refused to expand the number of lawmakers briefed on covert CIA operations, according to senior U.S. officials.
Sen. Carl Levin (D-Mich.), who chairs the Armed Services Committee, held a joint classified hearing Thursday with the Senate Intelligence Committee on CIA and military drone strikes against suspected terrorists.
But the White House did not allow CIA officials to attend, so military counter-terrorism commanders testified on their own.
But perhaps the White House was merely retaliating for an earlier slight from Congress:
In May, the White House said it would seek to gradually move armed drone operations to the Pentagon. But lawmakers added a provision to the defense spending bill in December that cut off funds for that purpose, although it allows planning to continue.
Dilanian parrots the usual framing of CIA vs JSOC on drone targeting:
Levin thought it made sense for both committees to share a briefing from generals and CIA officials, officials said. He was eager to dispel the notion, they said, that CIA drone operators were more precise and less prone to error than those in the military.
The reality is that targeting in both the CIA and JSOC drone programs is deeply flawed, and the flaws lead directly to civilian deaths. I have noted many times (for example see here and here and here) when John Brennan-directed drone strikes (either when he had control of strike targeting as Obama's assassination czar at the White House or after taking over the CIA and taking drone responsibility with him) reeked of political retaliation rather than being logically aimed at high value targets. But those examples pale in comparison to Brennan's "not a bake sale" strike that killed 40 civilians immediately after Raymond Davis' release or his personal intervention in the peace talks between Pakistan and the TTP. JSOC, on the other hand, has input from the Defense Intelligence Agency, which, as Marcy has noted, has its own style when it comes to "facts". On top of that, we have the disclosure from Jeremy Scahill and Glenn Greenwald earlier this week that JSOC will target individual mobile phone SIM cards rather than people for strikes, without confirming that the phone is in possession of the target at the time of the strike. The flaws inherent in both of these approaches lead to civilian deaths that fuel creation of even more terrorists among the survivors.
Dilanian doesn't note that the current move by the White House to consolidate drones at the Pentagon is the opposite of what took place about a year before Brennan took over the CIA, when his group at the White House took over some control of JSOC targeting decisions, at least with regard to signature strikes in Yemen.
In the end, though, it's hard to see how getting all drone functions within the Pentagon and under Senate Armed Services Committee oversight will improve anything. Admittedly, the Senate Intelligence Committee is responsible for the spectacular failure of NSA oversight and has lacked the courage to release its thorough torture investigation report, but Armed Services oversees a bloated Pentagon that can't even pass an audit (pdf). In the end, it seems to me that this entire pissing match between Congress and the White House is over which committee(s) will ultimately be blamed for failing oversight of drones.
I confess, I don't really know what Angry Birds is, except that my tweener niece was hot on the game a year ago.
But apparently it must be a key part of terrorist training (which makes me worried about my niece), because the NSA gathers up cell phone data the Angry Birds app leaks.
The National Security Agency and its UK counterpart GCHQ have been developing capabilities to take advantage of "leaky" smartphone apps, such as the wildly popular Angry Birds game, that transmit users' private information across the internet, according to top secret documents.
From some app platforms, relatively limited, but identifying, information such as exact handset model, the unique ID of the handset, software version, and similar details are all that are transmitted.
Other apps choose to transmit much more data, meaning the agency could potentially net far more. One mobile ad platform, Millennial Media, appeared to offer particularly rich information. Millennial Media's website states it has partnered with Rovio on a special edition of Angry Birds; with Farmville maker Zynga; with Call of Duty developer Activision, and many other major franchises.
Rovio, the maker of Angry Birds, said it had no knowledge of any NSA or GCHQ programs looking to extract data from its apps users.
"Rovio doesn't have any previous knowledge of this matter, and have not been aware of such activity in 3rd party advertising networks," said Saara Bergström, Rovio's VP of marketing and communications. "Nor do we have any involvement with the organizations you mentioned [NSA and GCHQ]."
Millennial Media did not respond to a request for comment.
This is all very predictable (and will undoubtedly finally launch a conversation about data spillage on mobile apps).
But seriously. How many Angry Bird players does NSA really claim it has a valid foreign intelligence purpose to target?
The last decade witnessed the rise of deep state — an entity not clearly delineated that ultimately controls the military-industrial complex, establishing its own operational policy and practice outside the view of the public in order to maintain its control.
Citizens believe that the state is what they see, the evidence of their government at work. It's the physical presence of their elected representatives, the functions of the executive office, the infrastructure that supports both the electoral process and the resulting machinery serving the public at the other end of the sausage factory of democracy. We the people put fodder in, we get altered fodder out — it looks like a democracy.
But deep state is not readily visible; it's not elected, it persists beyond any elected official's term of office. While a case could be made for other origins, it appears to be born of intelligence and security efforts organized under the Eisenhower administration in response to new global conditions after World War II. Its function may originally have been to sustain the United States of America through any threat or catastrophe, to insure the country's continued existence.
Yet the deep state and its aims may no longer be in sync with the United States as the people believe their country to be — a democratic society. The democratically elected government does not appear to have control over its security apparatus. This machinery answers instead to the unseen deep state and serves its goals.
As citizens we believe the Department of State and the Department of Defense along with all their subset functions exist to conduct peaceful relations with other nation-states while protecting our own nation-state in the process. Activities like espionage for discrete intelligence gathering are as important as diplomatic negotiations to these ends. The legitimate use of military force is in the monopolistic control of both Departments of State and Defense, defining the existence of a state according to philosopher Max Weber.
The existing security apparatus, though, does not appear to function in this fashion. It refuses to answer questions put to it by our elected representatives when it doesn't lie to them outright. It manages and manipulates the conditions under which it operates through implicit threats. The legitimacy of the military force it yields is questionable because it cannot be restrained by the country's democratic processes and may subvert control over military functions.
Further, it appears to answer to some other entity altogether. Why does the security apparatus pursue the collection of all information, in spite of such activities disrupting the ability of both State and Defense Departments to operate effectively? Why does it take both individuals' and businesses' communications while breaching their systems, in direct contravention to the Constitution's Fourth Amendment prohibition against illegal search and seizure?

Playwright August Strindberg wrote, "…There are poisons that blind you, and poisons that open your eyes."
We've been blinded for decades by complacency and stupidity, as well as our trust. Most Americans still naively believe that our government acts responsibly and effectively as a whole (though not necessarily its individual parts).
By effectively, I mean Americans believed their government would not deliberately launch a military attack that could affect civilians — including Americans — as collateral damage. Such a toll would be minimized substantively. Yesterday's celebration related to the P5+1 interim agreement regarding Iran's nuclear development program will lull most Americans into deeper complacency. The existing system worked, right?
But U.S. cyber warfare to date proves otherwise. The government has chosen to deliberately poison the digital waters so that all are contaminated, far beyond the intended initial target.
There's very little chance of escaping the poison, either. The ubiquity of U.S. standards in hardware and software technology has ensured this. The entire framework — the stack of computing and communications from network to user applications — has been affected.
• Network: Communications pathways have been tapped, either to obtain specific content, or obtain a mirror copy of all content traveling through it. It matters not whether telecom network, or internal enterprise networks.
• Security Layer: Gatekeeping encryption has been undermined by backdoors and weakened standards, as well as security certificates offering handshake validation
between systems.
• Operating Systems: Backdoors have been obtained, knowingly or unknowingly on the part of OS developers, using vulnerabilities and design flaws. Not even Linux can be trusted at this point (Linux progenitor Linus Torvalds has not been smart enough to offer a dead man's switch notification.)
• User Applications: Malware has embedded itself in applications, knowingly or unknowingly on the part of app developers.
End-to-end, top-to-bottom and back again, everything digital has been touched in one layer of the framework or another, under the guise of defending us against terrorism and cyber warfare.
Further, the government watchdogs entrusted to prevent or repair damage have become part and parcel of the problem, in such a way that they cannot effectively be seen to defend the public's interests, whether those of individual citizens or corporations. The National Institute of Standards and Technology has overseen the establishment and implementation of weak encryption standards for example; it has also taken testimony [PDF] from computing and communications framework hardware and software providers, in essence hearing where the continued weak spots will be for future compromise.
The fox is watching the hen house, in other words, asking for testimony pointing out the weakest patches installed on the hen house door.
The dispersion of cyber poison was restricted only in the most cursory fashion.
• Stuxnet's key target appears to have been Iran's Natanz nuclear facility, aiming at its SCADA equipment, but it spread far beyond and into the private sector as disclosed by Chevron. The only protection against it is the specificity of its end target, rendering the rest of the malware injected but inert. It's still out there.
• Duqu, a "sibling" cyber weapon, was intended for widespread distribution, its aims two-fold. It delivered attack payload capability, but it also delivered espionage capability.
• Ditto for Flame, yet another "sibling" cyber weapon, likewise intended for widespread distribution, with attack payload and espionage capability.
There could be more than these, waiting yet to be discovered.
In the case of both Duqu and Flame, there is a command-and-control network of servers still in operation, still communicating with instances of these two malware cyber weapons. The servers' locations are global — yet another indicator of the planners'/developers' intention that these weapons be dispersed widely.
Poison everything, everywhere.

Over the last handful of days breathless reports may have crossed your media streams about Stuxnet infecting the International Space Station.
The reports were conflations or misinterpretations of cybersecurity expert Eugene Kaspersky's recent comments before the Australian Press Club in Canberra. Here's an excerpt from his remarks, which you can enjoy in full in the video embedded above:
[26:03] "…[government] departments which are responsible for the national security for national defense, they're scared to death. They don't know what to do. They do understand the scenarios. They do understand it is possible to shut down power plants, power grids, space stations. They don't know what to do. Uh, departments which are responsible for offense, they see it as an opportunity. They don't understand that in cyberspace, everything you do is [a] boomerang. It will get back to you.
[26:39] Stuxnet, which was, I don't know, if you believe American media, it was written, it was developed by American and Israel secret services, Stuxnet, against Iran to damage Iranian nuclear program. How many computers, how many enterprises were hit by Stuxnet in the United States, do you know? I don't know, but many.
Last year for example, Chevron, they agreed that they were badly infected by Stuxnet. A friend of mine, work in Russian nuclear power plant, once during this Stuxnet time, sent a message that their nuclear plant network, which is disconnected from the internet, in Russia there's all that this [cutting gestures, garbled], so the man sent the message that their internal network is badly infected with Stuxnet.
[27:50] Unfortunately these people who are responsible for offensive technologies, they recognize cyber weapons as an opportunity. And a third category of the politicians of the government, they don't care. So there are three types of people: scared to death, opportunity, don't care."
He didn't actually say the ISS was infected with Stuxnet; he only suggested it's possible Stuxnet could infect devices on board. Malware infection has happened before when a Russian astronaut brought an infected device used on WinXP machines with her to the station.
But the Chevron example is accurate, and we'll have to take the anecdote about a Russian nuclear power plant as fact. We don't know how many facilities here in the U.S. or abroad have been infected and negatively impacted as only Chevron to date has openly admitted exposure. It's not a stretch to assume Stuxnet could exist in every manner of facility using SCADA equipment combined with Windows PCs; even the air-gapped Russian nuclear plant, cut off from the internet as Kaspersky indicates, was infected.
The only thing that may have kept Stuxnet from inflicting damage upon infection is the specificity of the encrypted payload contained in the versions released in order to take out Iran's Natanz nuclear facility. Were the payload(s) injected with modified code to adapt to their host environs, there surely would have been more obvious enterprise disruptions.
In other words, Stuxnet remains a ticking time bomb threatening energy and manufacturing production at a minimum, and other systems like those of the ISS at worst case. Continue reading
There's a sense of security vested in the idea that the caller is outside the house and the woman is tucked safely in the bosom of her home. Phew, she's safe; nothing to see here, move along…
In reality the caller is camped directly outside the woman's window, watching every move she makes even as she assures herself that everything is fine.
After a tepid reaction to the initial reporting last week, most media and their audience took very little notice of the Washington Post's followup piece — what a pity, as it was the singular voice confirming the threat sits immediately outside the window.
Your window, as it were, if you have an account with either Yahoo or Google and use their products. The National Security Agency has access to users' content inside the corporate fenceline for each of these social media firms, greasy nose pressed to glass while peering in the users' windows.
There's more to story, one might suspect, which has yet to be reported. The disclosure that the NSA's slides reflected Remote Procedure Calls (RPCs) unique to Google and Yahoo internal systems is only part of the picture, though this should be quite frightening as it is.
Access to proprietary RPCs means — at a minimum — that the NSA has:
1) Access to content and commands moving in and out of Google's and Yahoo's servers, between their own servers — the closest thing to actually being inside these corporations' servers.
2) With these RPCs, the NSA has the ability to construct remote login access to the servers without the businesses' awareness. RPCs by their nature require remote access login permissions.
3) Construction through reverse engineering of proprietary RPCs could be performed without any other governmental bodies' awareness, assuming the committees responsible for oversight did not explicitly authorize access to and use of RPCs during engineering of the MUSCULAR/SERENDIPITY/MARINA and other related tapping/monitoring/collection applications.
4) All users' login requests are a form of RPC — every single account holder's login may have been gathered. This includes government employees and elected officials as well as journalists who may have alternate accounts in either Gmail or Yahoo mail that they use as a backup in case their primary government/business account fails, or in the case of journalists, as a backchannel for handling news tips.

This won't be a cool, calm, collected post like Marcy writes, because it's me, the angry mom. You might even have seen me Tuesday afternoon in the school parking lot waiting to pick up a kid after sports practice. I was the one gripping the steering wheel too tightly while shouting, "BULLSHIT!" at the top of my lungs at the radio.
The cause? This quote by President Obama and the subsequent interpretation by NPR's Ari Shapiro.
President Obama to ABC's new Latino channel, Fusion (1:34): It's important for us to make sure that as technology develops and expands and the capacity for intelligence gathering becomes a lot greater that we make sure that we're doing things in the right way that are reflective of our values.
Ari Shapiro (1:46): And, Audie, I think what you're hearing in that quote is a sense that is widespread in this administration that technological improvements have let the government do all kinds of things they weren't able to do before. They tapped the German Chancellor's personal cellphone and nobody really stopped to ask whether these are things they should be doing. And so that question, just because we can do something, well, does it mean we should be doing it, that's the question that seems to be the focus of this review.
Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit.
Here, let me spell this out in terms a school-aged kid can understand.
This is a doorknob with a lock; so is the second closure device on the right.
The lock technology used on the second door is very different; it's no longer simple analog but digitally enhanced. The second lock's technology might be more complicated and difficult to understand. But it's still a lock; its intrinsic purpose is to keep unauthorized persons out.
If one were to pick either lock in any way, with any tools to enter a home that is not theirs and for which they do not have permission to enter, they are breaking-and-entering.
If it's law enforcement breaching that lock, they'd better have a damned search warrant or a court order, in the absence of a clear emergency or obvious crime in progress.
The argument that information technology has advanced to the point where the NSA blindly stumbles along without asking whether they should do what they are doing, or asking whether they are acting legally is bullshit. They have actively ignored or bypassed the proverbial lock on the door. It matters not where the lock is located, inside or outside the U.S.
The Washington Post's revelation Wednesday that the NSA cracked Yahoo's and Google's SSL — secure sockets layer — is equivalent to evidence of deliberately busted door locks. So is the wholesale undermining of encryption systems on computers, cellphones, and network equipment revealed in reports last month, whether by weakened standards or by willfully placed holes integrated in hardware or software.
The NSA has quite simply broken into every consumer electronic device used for communications, and their attached networks. When the NSA was forced to do offer explanations for their actions, they fudged interpretations of the Constitution and laws in order to continue what they were doing. Their arguments defending their behavior sound a lot like a child's reasoning. Continue reading

Fort Lawton
Fort Lawton originally occupied much of Seattle's Magnolia Bluff, which offers a commanding view of the entrance to Elliott Bay and Puget Sound.
Fort Lawton originally occupied much of Seattle's Magnolia Bluff, which offers a commanding view of the entrance to Elliott Bay and Puget Sound. The bluff itself was named by Lt. George Davidson in 1857 during a U.S. Coastal Survey on the mistaken identification of its red-barked madrona trees as magnolias.
In 1896, the Secretary of War selected the site for construction of an artillery battery intended to defend Seattle and the south Sound from naval attack. The following year, local citizens and governments donated 703 acres land to the United States Army for the installation.
The Army officially named Fort Lawton in 1900 to honor Major General Henry Ware Lawton, a veteran of Civil War, Indian, and Spanish-American campaigns who had died in the Philippines the previous year. The base was converted to infantry use in 1902, and landscape architect John C. Olmsted prepared a new master plan in 1910 for housing officers and enlisted men.
The fort saw active duty as a staging center and prisoner of war camp during World War II, and was equipped with anti-aircraft missiles and radar in the 1950s. After rejecting the site for a proposed anti-ballistic missile defense system in 1968, the Army decided to surplus most of the base and offered 534 acres to the City of Seattle for park use under a new law sponsored by U.S. Senator Henry M. Jackson.
Native American tribes asserted treaty rights to the original land but settled with the city for a portion as the site for Daybreak Star Center (completed in 1977). In 1973, Senator Jackson dedicated the tract as Discovery Park in honor of the British sloop HMS Discovery commanded by Captain George Vancouver during the first European exploration of Puget Sound in 1792.
The city decided to preserve most of the park as open space and nature reserves in 1974, and the appropriate intensity of public use remains a subject of debate. The best preserved collection of early Fort Lawton buildings was declared a landmark district in 1988.

Although this has been an active week in Auburn, Logan County and Kentucky, this will be a short column.
Following yet another trip to the doctor and long drives to and from, I did make it home in time to vote on Tuesday, and was even able to wait up for results. Congratulations to all the local winners and thanks to all those candidates willing to put their lives on hold and campaign for the honor of serving their communities. Some of you I know personally, some only through your campaign efforts when asking for my vote.
Special thanks to those elections officials and pole workers who gave of their time.
Voting is one of the most important of our freedoms. The primary is over, but the next election is most important. Take time to know the candidates. Decide which of these will best represent you and your interest, as well as the county and state.
Thanks to those who prayed for little Ella Allen. Her injury proved to be less serious than anticipated. Keep those neighbors and friends who are dealing with health problems in you thoughts and prayers.
Wishing you a safe, enjoyable Memorial Day holiday and have a blessed day.

Held over seven days in Wanaka and Queenstown, the festival
of films, speakers and seminars with an alpine recreation
theme came to a close at the resort on Friday.
Director Mark Sedon, of Lake Hawea, said the festival had two
''huge nights'' at the Queenstown Memorial Hall, with
Friday's drawing the biggest turnout of all.
''We squeezed as many in as we could - there wasn't a spare
His target of 4000 patrons throughout the seven days had been
comfortably exceeded, helped by a 20% increased turnout in
The festival's profile and reputation continued to grow, he
''We put on a really good programme last year, and I think
people responded to that.''
Having three films by Queenstown and Wanaka filmmakers
included among the dozen New Zealand-made films screened
helped locals feel a connection to the event.
This year's speakers were also a drawcard, with United States
climber Kitty Calhoun especially ''striking a chord'' with
her ''last ascents'' talks about the effects of climate
change on climbing.
A record number of 74 films were also screened, selected from
the more than 120 films submitted.
Technology such as small digital cameras, editing software
for home computers and even the use of drones meant
filmmaking was easier and cheaper, he said.
A selection of films from the festival will screen at 15
venues during a two-month tour of the country beginning in
Twizel on August 2.
Queenstown residents will have another chance to see the
films at a screening on August 17 as part of the Remarkables
Ice and Mixed Festival.

Recommended Route Keyhole Route—use of this route will help to reduce impacts to this Fourteener's fragile alpine environment. For detailed route information including pictures, maps, and elevation profiles, click here.
Route Information and Additional Resources The trailhead is approximately ten miles south of Estes Park, CO. The keyhole route runs from the Longs Peak Ranger Station to the summit of Longs Peak, via the "Boulderfield" and the "Keyhole". To reduce impact to the environment, stay on the trail the entire ascent and descent. This route is in the Rocky Mountain National Park where all backcountry camping requires a permit. The backcountry office phone number is 970-586-1242. Contact Rocky Mountain National Park for current route and weather conditions.
The above information does not replace the need to consult additional maps and Colorado Fourteener Guidebooks for more detailed route descriptions. We suggest checking multiple resources before departing on any hike. Keep in mind that not all guidebooks list this recommended route and that each guidebook's description or route name may vary slightly.
Peak Specific Environmental and Safety Concerns Planning ahead and being prepared for your climb is the best thing you can do to ensure a safe and enjoyable climb. Conditions on the peak vary greatly throughout the year. The Keyhole route is very long, and can be extremely technical in poor weather and during winter, spring, and fall. Generally, the keyhole route is "non-technical" most of July and August. Daily summer afternoon storms build quickly. Lightning is a major hazard as much of the route is highly exposed. Be in the best physical and mental state possible.
Longs is a highly popular peak with a short climbing season in the summer when 95% of people climb. Climb in small groups, keep noise to a minimum and yield to faster hikers or those climbing up hill, by stepping off the trail and letting them pass. Walking off the trail kills the surrounding vegetation and creates multiple trails where only one is needed. Respect wildlife along the route . Keep your distance, do not feed them anything, and remember…you are visiting their home.
