Clarence Anders (Liverpool fan) says...
Charles, u think Spain is boring??? Thats the reason the ENGLISH fail. They are too direct and utterly idealess. The spanish are about technicality and movement. What service do they need for Torres?? He plays in England and he is too used to the long balls and crosses. Am sorry to say, this is Espanyol and no such services will be available to him. You either choose to come deep and get the ball, or you read the play and your movement between the lines of defences. Without a player like Alonso or Xavi is the reason the English has failed to succeed. So grace up and salute the Spanish for their absolute genius of possession football.

I Just Hope Spain play a little better tonight. The Game against Paraquay was very quiet until there was a spell of 2 penalties in 2 mins. I still feel that Spain will have the edge over Germany but Germany's counter attack is spot on so Spain will have to watch out for Bastian scwienchsteiger coz he is a very good player and he will make a difference tonight. Should be an interesting game!!! I will be cheering for Spain purely because they have world class players and they should win this!!

Stuart Luff (Barcelona fan) says...
I don't agree with the comment that Busquets has been poor. He's there solely to break up the play then give the ball to Xavi or Iniesta. He's done that quite well. He's managed to keep Toure out of the Barça team and his good performances have continued in the World Cup.

Charles Lewis (Manchester United fan) says...
I would hope that Germany win this one. Spain's style of play has been atrociously boring to watch. 4-5 central midfielders trying to walk the ball into the net for 70 minutes before David Villa gets 1 goal courtesy of a few rebounds is not something Spain should be proud off. Torres is playing badly because Spain's very good wingers are being left on the bench and so there is just no service for him. Germany will hold a deep line and play on the counter attack while the Spainish centre midfielders take turns trying to dribble the ball past the defence.

Jamie i could not have said it better myself. I am really hoping that Fernando will score at some stage, i too believe he should not start tonight, rather him come on in the second half. Spain to win

Harry Willetts (West Bromwich Albion fan) says...
the spain v.germany match is too close to call, the spanish are a solid team full of individuals who work for one another while the germans have individual players of world class about them players like ogil, schweinsteiger and podolskithere is however a weakness in the german back four with the left back boateng, he pushes to far up the pitch and keeps on getting caught out of position far too often,i think we could see extra time and penalties between these too tonight.

Manu Sanchez (Atletico Madrid fan) says...
I hope my team win tonight. We respect Germany at all, they played the best football until today in this world cup, but i hope Spain show tonight the amazing football they have played last 2 years. Torres should play, he loves this matches under pressure, sometimes he looks disconnected, but this is the main characteristic of the great players, they only need one second to show their talent. Good luck for both teams ! I guess we are going to see the best match in this world cup.

Spain 3 Germany 1

Maxime Aznar (Real Madrid fan) says...
Hello Mr. Redknapp. My opinion on this Titans' clash is as follows: 1- Germany are a very... very good Footballing Squad. But they have trashed teams that don't have a good midfield. Sure you could say it is not the case for England, as England can count on terrific midfielders. But they did not deliver nor showed any solidity throughout the competition. Against Spain, Germany will get back to earth. Serbia forced them into reality because of this midfield strength. 2- As for Spain, things are completely different. So far, they have only faced teams that have given themselves the mandate to prevent Spain from playing. Switzerland proved how anti-football it could work. Honduras could only hope to prevent Spain from scoring too much. Chile tried to block the pitch. Portugal fielded 10 defenders with Ronaldo. Paraguay? They gave temselves the mandate to replace Italy as total Cadenaccio Kings. Hence, Germany is the first test in which Spain will probably be able to play its purest game - moving the ball around. As a Spain fan, I'm more confident facing Germany than facing Paraguay...

Stephen Quinn (Liverpool fan) says...
Agree with most of that Jamie...However to claim Alonso has been poor is far wide of the mark. In a team that relies so heavily on a pass and move ethos, Alonso, along with David Villa (for more obvious reasons) has been Spain's top performer. What he does is keep the ball moving, allowing play to develop quickly in front of him, a point guard to the attacking pressure Spain apply, whilst also clever enough to know when a game can be slowed to suit Spain's defensive desires. He did it so effectively for Liverpool for so many years, dictating the tempo at which a game is played, that we struggled without that engine last season. It is no co-incidence that since his talents have been plied in his own country that he has become an ever present in the national side line-up, while the ever hyped Cesc Fabregas warms the bench. Why do you think Fabregas is so desperate to get back to his own country?
Posted 14:02 7th July 2010
Steve Cooper (West Ham United fan) says...
Spain will win. Yes Germany are brilliant on the counter attack but everything Germany are bringing forward is coming from the left starting from Schweinsteiger and then out to Podolski. If Del Bosque holds Ramos back it will stop Podolski and make Germany think of another way through the defence. On top of that Germany's midfield/attack have dominated all World Cup opponents, but they are coming up against a stronger defence and they have got by far the best central midfielders to get past too. Definately a game of Tactics but with Spains class through the side I think it will hold Germany up.
Posted 12:11 7th July 2010
Martin Jeremia (Newcastle United fan) says...
Absolutely Spain will shine.They will find their rhythm today ,Xavi and Iniesta have the brain to outdo Seb and Khadira and of course the supply to Klose and Podoski will be cut out and for the second time will see drought of goals for Low's boys.Cecs will start today hance Villa will have a lot of balls and of course goals!!

James Walker (Barcelona fan) says...
Spain, Spain, Spain, The world of football would be empty without Spain. The players in this national team are all masters of the game, they play in the biggest teams in the world, they won the Euro cup against Germany, they are the most expensive team in this world cup, and above all.....they are hungry!. They want it so hard that we will see a breathtaking match between these two superpowers. If Torres comes in, he will score, why? because he feels comfortable in these situations, he is a star, he is one of the best. Spain have played at 70% so far. Against Germany we will see a machine of making football playing at full power. Can you imagine Spain playing at 100%?, they will because this is the only chance they have got. Spain is not dead yet. They will fight they way they know, using first touch, moving the ball quick and with style! They are the European Champions no by chance, they deserved. Guys, I know you love Germany, but don't underestimate the best team in the world right now. How this sound to you? Barcelona, Real Madrid, Valencia, Arsenal, Liverpool...................exactly! Germany are playing against these teams all at once, look at it this way and all your questions will be answered. Will Spain win? Yes

Rod Mckenzie (Manchester United fan) says...
I really enjoyed reading this analysis(even though I hope Germany win) as it deals with all aspects of a match up worthy of being the final(in my home town!).Just one other thing Mueller,in addition to the 4 goals he scored made about half of Germany's others so that's a big pair of shoes to fill.The weather in Durban today is uncharacteristically grey, windy with rain possible - shouldn't bother these players though.Go Germany! - for a rerun of 1974!!

You Say Regulation, I Say Punishment: The Semantics and Attributes of Punitive Activity

Recent trends in crime control have given new energy to an age-old question, namely what kinds of activity qualify as punishment. In addressing this question, jurists and scholars have often employed a logic that either restricts interpretations of punishment to traditional forms (e.g., prison, probation, death penalty) and functions (e.g., deterrence and retribution), or expands them to include the broader forms and functions of social control. This paper examines these opposing logics and considers an alternative logic based in common stipulations in power theory. Within this particular framework, punishment is conceived as action that is necessarily relational, intentional, personal and coercive.

Apart from its proposed full-fledged rural format stores, it is to tap the oil companies' distribution channels for its products.
Our Bureau
Bangalore, Sept. 13
Sensing a shift in the rural market showing preference for branded products, TTK Prestige has stepped up its efforts to tap the huge potential in the sector to increase market reach.
One such effort, apart from its proposed full-fledged rural format stores, is to tap the oil companies' distribution channels for its products such as LPG stoves and even pressure cookers. Against an industry average of 8 per cent, Prestige witnessed a growth of 25-30 per cent to emerge as the largest seller of pressure cookers and cookware at 16.25 lakh last year, thanks to its innovative products and intense retail campaign through its exclusive `Smart Kitchen' stores.
Increasing awareness
Mr Chandru Kalro, Executive Vice-President (Marketing), told
Business Linethat increasing awareness about value of branded products, driven by the bourgeoning modern retail format and exposure to television would also have their impact on rural market.
He said the urban market showed a good response to the experiment of using the oil company sales forces for distribution of LPG gas stoves and accessories and cookers as well. The company was contemplating to leverage the brand equity of the oil companies and Prestige to extend the experiment to the rural market.
TTK Prestige already had a tie up with the BPCL while it was in talks with Indian Oil Corporation and HPCL for distribution of its kitchen products for both urban and rural markets.
The company has set up about 15 stores in Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh, and it plans to expand it to 50 stores by the end of this year. These stores would be vending the TTK group's entire range of products including personal and body care brand of Eva, wellness articles such as Scholl shoes and baby care products such as gripe water.

Please enter a valid mileage
Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2016 Hyundai Elantra
By KBB.com Editors
A value-packed and inexpensive alternative to the segment-leading Toyota Corolla and Honda Civic, the 2010 Hyundai Elantra makes a great first (or even second) car. The spacious and fuel-efficient Elantra can comfortably and safely pack in a family of four (five in a pinch) and its cargo. From front to rear, the Elantra's sharp styling, roomy interior and quality-conscious engineering qualifies this fourth-generation version as a fully contemporary, yet affordable, sedan.
You'll like this car if high mileage is a must and regular is your gasoline of choice; its 26/35 city/highway EPA fuel economy numbers trump the Volkswagen Rabbit's, for example. If safety is your issue, the 2010 Hyundai Elantra offers front, side-impact and side-curtain airbags, plus antilock brakes (ABS), as standard equipment.
You may not like this car (at least with the manual transmission) if your daily drive demands constant gear shifting, as the five-speed does not have the smoothest operation around. Also,the Hyundai's resale values are nowhere near those of Toyota or Honda.
A new, high-mileage Blue Edition joins the lineup touting a 35 mpg highway fuel economy figure. All models now feature iPod/USB auxiliary inputs and additional chrome accents around the grille and rear deck.
Driving Impressions Zippy little engines are no longer a surprise in economy cars, but the Elantra's 2.0-liter, 4-cylinder, 138-horsepower CVVT ULEV engine, teamed with the five-speed transmission, is particularly impressive, especially on...uphill climbs. Quieter than one might expect, engine noise is drowned out by wind and tire noise when the windows are rolled down. Ride and performance are average, with handling far more responsive than the previous version. A comfortable car to drive, the Elantra feels secure and reliable, and its owners will likely appreciate its straight-forward predictability and control.
Audio System Controls
Steering wheel-mounted audio controls are a huge convenience and are standard with the Elantra SE. Nestled neatly into the wheel's left side, the flush-mounted buttons for Volume, Seek and Mode are within easy reach.
Ample Trunk
The generously-sized trunk stretches into the car and, with the 60/40-split rear seat folded down, the space is even larger.
The interior is comfortable, functional and spacious, with well-padded seating, but not necessarily an example of modern style. The SE's somewhat dated-looking velvety seat fabric, the instrument panel with its expanses of plastic and the over-designed door panels appear a little old-fashioned. Otherwise, the roominess, headroom and rear-seat legroom are welcome in a car of this size, the trunk is exceptionally deep and large, the rear seat splits 60/40 for added convenience and an auxiliary jack and power outlet allow for plug-in accessories.Exterior
The impressive exterior styling, with its clean lines and sculpted body sides, borrows design characteristics from the larger and more expensive Hyundai Azera. Prominent among the pleasing exterior appearance features is the grille, with three horizontal bars, finely integrated headlights and a two-bar air duct with corner lamps.
In addition to the front, side-impact and side-curtain airbags, all 2010 Hyundai Elantras feature anti-lock brakes (ABS) with four-wheel discs, active front head restraints, rear window defroster, remote keyless entry, power locks and windows and heated power mirrors. The GLS' generous list of standard equipment includes air conditioning, cruise control, fog lights and a 172-watt sound system with XM Satellite Radio. Additional features for the SE include alloy wheels, Electronic Stability Control and Brake Assist, as well as a tilt/telescope leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio controls.
If carpeted floor mats are all you want to add, you'll pay just a little extra for them, but most buyers will likely want the four-speed automatic transmission with overdrive and lockup torque converter, as well. Other options on the SE include a power sunroof and heated seats. On the GLS, the only available option is the power sunroof.
A competent 2.0-liter super-clean engine powers the Elantra and scores high on the EPA's Green Vehicle Guide. The combination of Continuously Variable Valve Timing (CVVT) and dual overhead camshafts gives the engine a very broad power spread, coupled with high fuel efficiency and low emissions. The manual transmission helps get the most out of the engine.
2.0-liter in-line 4
138 horsepower @ 6000 rpm (132 horsepower PZEV)
136 lb.-ft. of torque @ 4600 rpm (133 lb-ft. of torque PZEV)
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 26/35 Blue (manual), 26/34 (automatic)

Pros: "Reliable, Excellent Handling, Sturdy, Affordable"

"The short: Engine= good power; Handling= steady and quick; MPG= average 28-30, even in rush hour; Interior= not cheap, though plastic/vinyl it is sturdy and appealing; Treat your car well and it will last for a long time. I expect this car to easily surpass 250,000 miles in its lifetime. The long: I bought this car about 2 years ago at 55,000 miles. It had one previous owner. Back then it was about $10,000 after negotiation. I'm very pleased with it. The car has never had any problem. I do all the servicing myself and keep the oil regular at 5,000 miles. I changed the manufacturer spark plugs after I bought it; it could have gone several thousand more miles. At 75,000 I changed the transmission fluid and timing belt. The fluid needed changed, but the transmission itself is still flawless. The timing belt was fine. The belt could have waited till 100,000. I performed all of the other maintenance in the manual. I see other vehicles that are hard to service and that fall apart, but this is not one of them. The owners usually are responsible for breaking the car. So, you'd be better off ignoring the 1 star reviews."

Talib Kweli ft. The UnderAchievers - New Leaders
Artist: Talib Kweli
Featuring: The Underachievers
Producer: Statik Selektah
Album: Gravitas
Avg Rating: 4.2 ( 6 votes )
The rap game could use a few New Leaders—and you shouldn't count Talib Kweli out of the running just because he's been in the game for a minute. On the latest single off his fifth full-length, the B.K. stalwart steps to the mic with some fresh ideas that, if enough people run with 'em, are sure to reinvigorate the hip-hop game. Over Statik Selektah's lush sample work, the Blacksmith Music general urges listeners to set aside materialism and negativity and take charge of their own destinies. NYC buzzmakers The UnderAchievers are first to grab the baton; partners-in-rhyme AK and Issa Gold lace the back with some politically-charged lyrical flames. Featuring this inspiring joint, reader-approved lead single The Wormhole and much more, Gravitas is scheduled to drop December 15, via KweliClub.com.

PGP Desktop Email - Shared / Group Mailboxes
Quick question, can PGP Desktop Email be configured to send encrypted emails from a group / shared Exchange mailbox also to be received by another Exchange group / shared mailbox ??
Thanks in advance
Comments 3 Comments • Jump to latest comment
I have a bit more information on the situation I am trying to come up with a solution for.
Example....we have 100 users who need to send PGP encrypted files to a vendor who has, say 50 users all of which potentially need to open the encrypted file. Is there a way to encrypt the file with the potential recipients keys without having to select each one ??
I suppose what I am asking is really "is there a way for multiple users keys to be added to one key that can be shared and imported into PGP Desktop thus allowing the file to be encrypted to a single key instad of 50 and vice versa ??"
I'm trying to cut down on the potential key management required.
One option would be for the recipient to use an Additional Decryption Key. This results in any encrption to any of those recipients also being encrypted to their ADK. They could distribute their ADK keypair to users needed to do such decryption.
A somewhat similiar option would be for the recipeint setting to send you one key that has all of those user's email addresses added as individual User Names. They would again each need to have that one keypair.
On your end, you can set up a PGP Messaging policy similar to this:
If Any
Recipient Domain is {their domain, such as example.com}
Encrypt To A List Of Keys
and then use the Edit List button to select the needed keys.
This would be a one time set up process, but you might at times want to add or delete a key from that list.
When you consider your issue resolved, please click Mark As Solution on the most helpful response.

Contessa Solace 15
Weight : 16 lbs 1.6 oz
Issue : Jun 2014
Editorial Review
The Solace would be an ideal companion for races or fast group rides. Although it put us in a more upright position than the other two bikes in this category, the Scott still felt stiff and efficient. "It makes you want to go a little faster and play games on the road," said one tester. "Descending was especially satisfying," noted a second member of our test team. "It took tight switchbacks with a sure line and I felt confident enough to stay off the brakes save for one or two taps." The bike transmitted more road buzz than the other two finalists, however, which could be a concern for some riders.

Video: Parent – Teen Interactions May Cut Teen Crash Risk In Half
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 28 /PRNewswire/ – Two new studies reveal that teen crashes and risky driving behaviors such as cell phone use, failure to wear seat belts, and drinking and driving are strongly linked with the way teens and parents communicate and approach rules about safety. The results of the studies by The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and State Farm® were published today in the journal Pediatrics.
To view the Multimedia News Release, go to: http://www.prnewswire.com/mnr/chop/39673/
The studies are based on the nationally-representative National Young Driver Survey of more than 5,500 teenagers. The first study shows that teens who said their parents set clear rules, paid attention to where they were going and whom they were with, and did so in a supportive way were:
- half as likely to crash
- twice as likely to wear seat belts
- 71 percent less likely to drive while intoxicated
- 30 percent less likely to use a cell phone while driving
These findings are compared to teens who said their parents were less involved.
A second study found that teens who reported being the main driver of a vehicle were twice as likely to be involved in a crash, compared with teens who said they shared a vehicle with other family members. Nearly 75 percent of the teens surveyed reported being the main driver of a car.
"Once they're behind the wheel, teens have ultimate responsibility for their behavior" says Kenneth Ginsburg, MD, MSEd, co-author of the study. "But kids who said their parents set rules in a supportive way were half as likely to crash compared with teens who saw their parents as less involved."
According to the researchers, there are specific things parents can do to keep teens safer around driving: set clear rules about driving; talk with kids about where they're going and who they're with; and make sure teens know the rules are in place because you care about them and their safety – not because you wish to control them. This approach may make it more likely teens will tell their parents what is going on in their lives. This in turn helps parents better follow through on the rules they set with their kids.
Approximately half of the teens surveyed reported that their parents consistently set rules, paid attention to where they were going and who they would be with in a way that was supportive.
"Our data show that one of the safest decisions families can make is for parents to control access to the keys for at least the first 6 to 12 months after a teen gets his license," says Flaura Koplin Winston, MD, PhD, study co-author and scientific director of the Center for Injury Research and Prevention at CHOP. "Our data show an alarming trend – almost three-quarters of teens say they have easy access to a car. Compared to teens who have to share a car, these teens are twice as likely to crash and more likely to speed and to use a cell phone while driving. When teens have to ask for the keys before taking the car, it naturally creates the opportunity for parents to have conversations with their teens about where they are going, who they will be with, and to review the house rules about driving with passengers, wearing seat belts, using cell phones, and which routes are safe."
Other research has found that a person's greatest lifetime chance of being in a fatal crash occurs during the first 6 to 12 months after receiving a license as a teenager. State Graduated Driver Licensing laws have been proven to reduce this risk by keeping new drivers out of the most dangerous situations during this crucial time. These findings confirm that parents who set rules are also effective in protecting their children from crashing.
"As the leader in auto safety, State Farm values these studies to help us understand the complex issue of teen driver safety," says Laurette Stiles, State Farm's vice president of Strategic Resources. "Together with The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, through our Young Driver Research Initiative, we have developed some tools to help parents keep teens safer on the road."

- Guide parents and teens in setting rules that are the most likely to protect teen drivers
- Help parents understand effective ways to protect their teens, while also allowing them to gain appropriate independence
- Help teens understand how to be safe drivers and safe passengers
About the Young Driver Research Initiative
Motor vehicle crashes remain the No. 1 cause of death among teens in the United States. Teen drivers (ages 16 to 19) have fatal crashes at four times the rate of adult drivers (ages 25 to 69). To reduce injury and death from young driver-related crashes through scientific research and outreach, The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and State Farm Insurance Companies® formed an alliance called the Young Driver Research Initiative (YDRI). These papers as well as other recent research from CHOP and State Farm are described in a just-released report called Driving Through the Eyes of Teens, A Closer Look.

Proceeds will help support Masonic charities such at the Masonic Home for Children in Oxford.
Trees on the Hippo Lot and at Reeves will be lit up in advance, but the Reeves lighting is questionable.
"The Reeves lights were somehow affected when someone drove through the building last year, so they are working on hopefully getting the lights to work in time," said Laura Gaylord, community manager for the Town of Elkin. The Reeves is under private ownership.

Spying in the Capitol
The Spy Museum was an interesting experience. At $13 it is quite expensive for a museum in this town. So I felt a sense of obligation to see it all. It became overwhelming somewhere about the 3/4 part. But still I did enjoy it. It is one of my favorites in the city. Just be aware it is not the best place for children unless they are really into the topic.

International Spy Museum
I HIGHLY recommend seeing the International Spy Museum. Unlike the free public museums, this one costs $13.00 for adults. But I found it highly entertaining.
They present a complete history of spying throughout the ages and offer several computer applications to test your wits as a spy.
Give yourself at least 3 hours to go through the museum.

Let's Go A-Spying!!!
Now, there are several ways you can approach the International Spy Museum.
1) Spy Museum - you can pay you entry fee and see the neato displays they have there complete with historical descriptions and interactive displays or you can do the following
2) Lectures, Courses, and Symposiums - you can attend their variety of lectures and classes on topics regarding espionage. They will help you to look at the world from a spy's point-of-view.
3) Kidspy Events - good for children and families. This provides and interactive way for families to learn about espionage. They can learn about code breaking, disguises, etc.
4) Workshops and Demonstrations - you can actually join them to discover and practice the art of espionage.
5) Spy City Tours - go into the depths of the city and discover the spy within the walls of Washington DC.
I personally went on one of the spying missions one night in March. It was really neat and I highly recommend it for a fun and original night out. We got a brief class in espionage and then we were sent out into the streets to uncover the conspiracy. It was a really neat experience. You have to check out the website for more information on upcoming events.

International Spy Museum
OK, this was the COOLEST place! Don't be afraid of the line - it wrapped around the building when we were there, but were inside in about 20 minutes. When you first enter, you are given a briefing video and asked to pick a "cover" from the many posters and displays around the room. You are supposed to memorize the information on the poster (name, age, origin, line of work, etc), because once inside the museum you will be quizzed (via computer) to see if you rouse the suspicion of a virtual guard. You are given your assignment, and check that on another computer further inside.
Once inside, you get to see tricks and tools of the spy trade; all the "James Bond" stuff of fact and fictions (amazing how much of it is FACT). You learn about the history of espionage (referred to as the Second oldest profession), and famous spies. You get to test your stealth by crawling through an air duct (see the illicit photo attached). It was fascinating, and a little overwhelming. We were there for 3 hours, and the last part just flew by because at that point we had "museum brain" and were no longer absorbing information...
Gift shop has some great stuff! I really need to go back and by that Spy Garden Gnome - too cute!
Admission is $18 for adults, and worth every penny!

Museums like this supposed to be fascinating, at least funny but I was disappointed because most of the stuff seemed so dated although the fans of James Bond will be more than happy inside here. I have to admit that some interactive exhibits are interesting the $18 entrance fee creates much more expectations. Of course that's my humble opionion, some teenagers next to us were screaming out of joy while they were trying some spy techniques but we got bored quickly. Maybe we were very tired of so many museums the previous days, so we weren't really in mood to read tons of information about spy history since the medieval times.
They don't allow you to take any pics inside, they don't really care for VTers that's for sure.
The museum's store was interesting with many nice little items that are really unique and make great gifts like miniature cameras, invisible inks etc
The entrance fee is $18. It's open daily 9.00-19.00(some days till 18.00) with time tickets because they only let in a certain number of people.

Double Agents?
The Spy Museum is a fun place to visit for both kids and adults. It has a world of information, artifacts and gadgets related to what it refers to as the ?second oldest profession.? In the first room, called ?Introduction to Espionage? you are asked to create a cover with false identity, age, address, etc. and throughout the museum you may be asked about it to test your spy savvy. There are sections on ?School for Spies? with all kinds of spy equipment, bugs, cameras, etc.; ?The Secret History of History? relating to the story of spying throughout history; ?Spies Among Us? which relates espionage activity during WWII; the ?War of the Spies? deals with the Cold War; and ?The 21st Century? deals with new challenges. There are lots of hands on things so it really appeals to young people.
Hours of operation can vary but generally run from 9:00 or 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 or 8:00 p.m. You can check on their website. Prices are $15 for adults and $12 for children 5-11 years.
The first photo of the shoe reminds me of the old Don Adams show, 'Get Smart.' The image is downloaded from the museum site where they have images just for that.

Want to be a Spy for a Day?
If you are looking for a fun attraction, after all the serious stuff in the Smithsonian, I suggest visiting the International Spy Museum on 800 F street. The exhibits are interesting and interactive, you get a fictitious identity when you go in, and you're in for a few more surprises inside...

Your mission . . .
This is a great hands-on museum that gives a historical look at the spy business. They go all the way back to medieval times, renaissance times, the 1800s, etc. They have info about weapons, surveillence, and disguise stuff.
The museum is open from 10-8 during the summer. They close at 6pm in the winter.
Tickets are time and date specific. They only let a certain number of people in at a time so that it's not so crowded.

Walk in get you alter identity and proceed through the museum to learn how it was all done. Tours start on the hour and I recommed you get your ticket earlier before the hour as the line to get in is long as is the wait. We were told that in the latter part of the day there are less people so you can enjoy the exhibits more. Cost is $18.00 per person.
If you happen to have a longer wait. Try walking around the block to tenth street to see the old Ford theater. Open again Feb 2009.

Spy Museum
The Spy Museum cost $16 which may catch you by surprise because all the other museums in the city are free but this was is privately run. It is well worth the visit apparently Washington, DC has more spies than any other city in the world. Really that is probably not that hard to believe at all.
You have to buy a ticket to enter at a certain time, the place is very busy and it was sold out each of the days I visited in February the non peak season so it is popular. When you get checked through it is interactive and you are asked to assume a different identity and you are tested at the end.
After this they usher you into a briefing room and then on to a training section where you go through some spy training. The rest of your visit you get to see lots of artifacts and tools of the trade. You learn about some of the worlds most famous spies and the consequences of getting caught. As it said at the end of the tour the worlds best spies you will never know who they are.
I thought the information there about the former KGB was interesting too. I found it a little hard to navigate the museum and it was hard to really read much and be comfortable because there were so many people there. I really found the whole experience intriguing though and it would be neat to learn more about this secret world.
There is a spy café and gift shop also on site. Enjoy your visit!

A must-see for all James Bond fans
One of my colleagues said this was one of the museums not to be missed in Washington, which is why I forked over the $21.95 admission fees. If you're traveling with kids or if you're a die-hard James Bond fan, you're sure to enjoy this museum dedicated to the world of espionnage. Designed to be as interactive as possible (you are instructed to pick a fake identity as you walk in and have to undergo a thorough interrogation at the end of your visit), it features the world's largest collection of espionage artifacts. It also helps you learn about the life of a spy during key historical events such as World War II and the Cold War thanks to several documentaries featuring real-life spies. The basement features a special exhibit on James Bond vilains that includes several props from the different movies shot over the past 50 years, from 1962's "Dr. No" to the more recent "Skyfall". I can't say in all honesty that I got my money's worth at this miseum, but perhaps I just wasn't the right kind of public for it never having watched a James Bond movie. However, I did enjoy making my way through the air vent a la John MacLane!

This is the best museum i've ever been to! Me and my friends found it while we were on a politics trip and didn't fancy the Smithsonian.
Its so exciting when you go in because you get giving a briefing and a fake-name. Its a very hands-on museum, great for kids and has loads of really, really interesting things in there too - even a secret tunnel that channels through the ceilings! Its the type of place i can imagine middle-aged men would love! I'd really recommend it to everybody!!
Definately check out the website aswell because it gives a taste of what its like.

The International Spy Museum
Now it can be told. Throughout all of history, espionage has played a key role in the affairs of nations. Political, military, and economic intelligence had been instrumental in maintaining our own national security. And intelligence failures have cost many countries dearly, including ours.
The Spy Museum provides the casual tourist a chance to learn about this arcane but fascinating subject. There is still a great deal that cannot yet be revealed. However, this is one of Washington's best new attractions. Sorry, but no photos are allowed inside.

The Supreme Court's intervention restraining Tamil Nadu from releasing the seven Rajiv Gandhi assassination convicts has averted a Constitutional face-off between the Centre and the state. In her tearing hurry to make political capital out of the Supreme Court's reasoned judgment commuting the death penalty against three convicts to life imprisonment on humanitarian grounds, Jayalalithaa forgot precedent and procedure. The unilateral decision on releasing the prisoners while giving three days time to the Centre to respond is not justified merely by the fact that most of the convicts have spent over 22 years in prison.
While Article 161 of the Constitution empowers the Governor acting on the advice of the state government to remit the sentences of prisoners, Section 435 of the Criminal Procedure Code specifically mandates the state to consult the Centre on cases investigated by the CBI before remitting or pardoning convicts. The rule book also mandates the setting up of an advisory board at the state level including prison and probation officials to consider remission. A recommendation from this board must be followed by a reference from the state to the Centre even though the recommendation from the Centre is not binding on the state. Such provisions ensure that justice does not become retributive or selective. Unfortunately, all this was thrown to the wind.
With elections nearing, Jayalalithaa's eagerness to release the prisoners and upstage DMK chief M Karunanidhi has been lost on no one. If this was to become an election issue, Jayalalithaa would not have wanted to be on the wrong side of the debate in Tamil Nadu. She perhaps was taking a leaf out of the Centre's book. The secret and undignified haste in executing Afzal Guru before the 2013 budget session of Parliament helped the Congress score political points. Ironically, both the AIADMK and DMK governments have opposed the parole pleas of these convicts in the past. The issue also foregrounds the partisan abuse of remission powers. In Kerala, the remission to a former Kerala Congress minister R Balakrishna Pillai, convicted in a corruption case, after 93 days in prison, and to a CPM leader convicted for the murder of a BJP leader and school teacher KT Jayakrishnan in front of his students, provoked outrage in recent years. In each of these cases, the Congress-led and the CPM-led governments favoured their respective prisoners.
The Supreme Court has repeatedly clarified that the punishment for life imprisonment is to be interpreted as life in jail for the duration of the prisoner's natural life. While Article 161 empowers the state government to consider a prisoner's claim for remission — and this is usually done after 14 years — certain crimes have to be apprised against the magnitude and gravity of the offence. The Rajiv Gandhi assassination was an act of terror and war against the State, killing the former Prime Minister and 16 others. Releasing the conspirators in this crime by pandering to parochial sentiments without following the due process has grave implications for the administration of justice. In recent times, trial courts have attempted to address the anomalies in the remission process by specifically stating in judgments that convicts in extremely heinous offences should not be considered for remission of life sentences until they have spent 20 or more years in prison. Just as it framed pathbreaking guidelines in January for death row prisoners, the Supreme Court will have to step in and frame guidelines for states to follow before granting remission.

The San Francisco SPCA Spoofs Portlandia with Catlandia
Okay, the San Francisco SPCA wins today!
They've managed to combine everything we love into one hilarious PSA: the charming humor of Portlandia, the endearing nuances and neurosis of San Francisco, and feral cat awareness. If you close your eyes and hit play on Catlandia, you might actually believe you're listening to Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein exchanging some inane banter. It's a darn good parody. An homage, even.
The best aspect of the video is that it brings attention to a very real and very serious problem: controlling urban feral populations. The San Francisco SPCA works with volunteers to help spay and neuter and vaccinate the city's community cats with its trap-and-release program. It's the most humane way to deal with community cat colonies, and we're certainly grateful for the SF SPCA's efforts.
In addition to trapping cats, we think this video also catches the heart and soul of San Francisco, poking gentle fun at a city known for its social awareness and $4 cups of coffee. Of course trapping and releasing feral cats would be the new cool thing to do!

Boys Will Be Boys: An Interview with Author/Columnist Jeff Pearlman
Pearlman's previous releases include HHR favorite The Bad Guys Won, as well as Love Me, Hate Me, an examination of the life and career of Barry Bonds.
Like Bad Guys, Boys Will Be Boys is a fascinating read about one of the most successful, memorable and morally-flawed teams in recent sports history. If you haven't already done so, pick it up.
From the Cowboys of the 90's to the '86 Mets to Barry Lamar Bonds, you seem to have a penchant for controversial topics, but you present them in equally detailed and entertaining light. While it may seem obvious, what is your attraction to subjects like these?
Well, to be honest—and I haven't consulted my therapist on this—I think it has to do with a certain sense of longing and jealousy. I'm 36-years old, I have two kids and I live in suburbia. My chances to live wildly—drugs and booze and hookers and strip clubs—have come and gone. I never lived it, and probably never will. And while I'm glad about that, I'm also curious. It's sorta like shrooming. I've always been curious what it'd be like to shroom, but I never had the guts to try. So whenever I talk to anyone who has shroomed, I ask for every possible detail. How'd it feel? What'd you see? Etc. Same with high-flying athletes. I want to know what it was like.
Do you find teams like these, while flawed, have an attitude that is an essential element for on-field success?
I don't. You can win thumping bibles and you can win drinking large quantities of alcohol. What matters most is the unity. Are the players united? Are they on the same page? Do they have similar ideals? Etc. That's what matters when it comes to winning vs. losing. At least that's what I believe.
You noted in this one that you spoke with over 146 members of the Cowboys organization. What issues do you run into researching subjects who may be wary of how they may be portrayed?
Well, there's a lot of skepticism over the media in general, so you have to convince people that it's not your goal to kill or rip anyone. And it truly wasn't my goal, and never is. I like discovering who people are; what makes them tick; etc. I feel like if you're honest and open, people generally will talk. Generally.
With Jimmy Johnson, Emmitt Smith, Michael Irvin, Troy Aikman and Moose Johnston all reinventing themselves post-playing (and coaching) career, do you ever look at these guys on TV and shake your head in a sense of "Where do they get off being so critical?"
Never. It's their job. And, if we're going to be 100% honest, they have much more of a right to say what they say than I do as an ESPN.com columnist. Look, last year I called for Joe Torre to be fired by the Yankees. How many pitches have I thrown since Babe Ruth League? How many games have I managed? I certainly study sports and love sports, but these guys have been there, and they've succeeded. They have every right to criticize.
How shortsighted was Cowboy fan memory over the dismissal of legendary coach Tom Landry once the winning began? How do fans view his legacy with that of the dynasty you covered? Are they mutually exclusive?
I don't think Cowboy fans were shortsighted, RE: Landry—I just think they moved on. Which made sense. You can only stay bitter for so long. As for his legacy, I'd say he's still the all-time king of the Dallas Cowboys. Fans may admire Jerry Jones and/or Jimmy Johnson, but nobody can touch what Landry did for Dallas. And, yes, they're exclusive.
Today we see many college coaches struggle in their transition to the pros. How was Johnson able to portray the demeanor of fierce disciplinarian in his first camp in light of his teams' reputations coming from Miami? He openly dismissed a negative attitude among the players, while in the same breath perpetuating negative behavior.
Well, when you're screaming at players and threatening to cut them, they're not exactly in a position to debate your collegiate legacy. So, really, once Jimmy set the tone at that first camp, his Miami rep was insignificant. Also, you have to remember that coaches and players are entitled to a completely divergent set of behavioral rules. Jimmy dismissed a negative attitude among his players because he saw that as a cancer for the young guys coming in. But that didn't mean he couldn't scream and yell and threaten to kill you. Players don't look at coaches and say, "If he can be that way, so can I."
Throughout the book, we see Jerry Jones as an ego-trip hell bent on doing things his way, yet it seems Johnson got a lot of leniency in hiring/firing players and personnel. What gave him so much faith in Johnson, and subsequently, after Johnson left the Cowboys, for what reason has Jones steered away from Johnson-like coaches that have allowed for him more a hands-on role in football operations?
Well, Jerry didn't know what the heck he was doing at first, so Jimmy was a security blanket-and Jerry knew it. He probably wouldn't have admitted it, but he knew it. Jimmy could analyze talent, grade drafts, consider trades, and Jerry wanted to feel involved. That's really his only desire. He trusted Jimmy; just wanted him as a partner. The problem is, with the Super Bowls Jerry got cocky. He took credit for decisions he didn't make; began to watch Jimmy operate and thought, "I can do that, too." That's one of the reasons he's never—with the brief exception of Bill Parcells—hired another Jimmy. He thinks he knows best.
How much was and continues to be the players' attitudes and behavior an extension of the owners and coaches?
Well, I can't speak for the modern Cowboys, but back in the 90s the swagger of Jimmy Johnson was the swagger of the Cowboys. Players saw Jimmy guaranteeing wins and talking shit about opposing teams, and they felt it appropriate to speak and think similarly. When you have, say, a Dan Reeves or Art Shell as coach, you sort of whisper through the league. Those Cowboys, under Jimmy, roared.
Something that struck me as an Eagles fan...When speaking of the Philadelphia faithful, right after mention of Santa Claus always comes a piece about cheering as Michael Irvin is being carted off the field (which was eventually portrayed in the book). In Chapter 11, you write mention in a meeting against the Skins, Michael Irvin explicitly threatening to go after Darrell Green's broken right forearm. While Irvin walked the walk after talking the talk and it's hard not to appreciate his work ethic, can we finally give Eagles fans a pass at simply acknowledging a creep getting his due?
Uh, no. I don't care if it's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad—you don't cheer for paralysis.
Fair enough.
Johnson had a penchant for embarrassing and cutting mediocre players in front of as big an audience as he could find. Robert Jones had an interesting quote when he said: "He never messed with his bread-and-butter guys, because he was a bully. Bullies only pick on the guys they can mess with." Was Johnson as physically and emotionally intimidated by his abrasive stars like Irvin and Hailey, as much as he knew they were indispensable?
Nooooo—he wasn't intimidated by stars. He simply knew he needed them, and to cut them/humiliate them/fine them/etc served no real purpose. As long as he had the John Ropers and Curvin Richards to beat on, why mess with Troy and Emmitt? As my dad, an executive search professional, said to me recently, "That Jimmy Johnson would make one hell of a CEO, because he knows which buttons to press." I agree.
Do you feel that the charges of racism were warranted in the Emmitt Smith contract talks?
I don't.
Speaking of racism, why does Troy Aikman hate his black teammates?
Because they stole his cheese.
Much is made in the book about the near misses with dismissing different key elements to the team - for example: Shula wanting to cut Irvin, Johnson's infatuation with Steve Walsh, etc. How much would team's success have been affected by one of these potential omissions from the squad? Was each piece of the puzzle an absolute necessity in your opinion?
H-u-g-e-l-y. Let's say Steve Walsh quarterbacks the Cowboys into the 1990s. Well, suddenly those deep bombs to Alvin Harper and those 20-yard outs to Michael Irvin never exist, because Walsh had Chad Pennington's arm. Let's say the Cowboys don't draft Emmitt Smith—does Curvin Richards or Derrick Lassic pick up the load? Sure, there are receivers who put up Irvin's numbers. But the toughness and determination were hallmarks of those teams. So, in terms of the stars, each piece was needed.
Who wins in a sword fight - Charles Haley or Rafael Santana?
Id' say Raffy Santana, because Ed Heard did describe his penis as "cock as big as a bat." But I imagine Charles Haley wouldn't hesitate to literally rip it off.
At the time the Boys were running rampant in Dallas and in Super Bowl cities across the country, much of their antics were swept under the carpet and/or kept under wraps. With the explosion of the internet and blogs, their behavior would have been daily fodder for online armchair pundits. Was the free-for-all attitude portrayed by the 1990's Cowboys unique to that them and have team's since cracked down on the debauchery, or are players and executives just better at this point at hiding it from the public?
I don't think teams have cracked down, but I believe players have. Nowadays, every boob with a camera on his cell phone or Blackberry is an internet reporter. So I'd say players are aware of the jeopardy/likelihood of being caught should anything go wrong. They really limit themselves much more than long ago.
Where can I get copies of and make fun of Skip Bayless' old "newsletters?"
I don't know Skip, but I'm guessing they serve as wallpaper in his Skip Bayless-themed living room.
What can we look for next from Jeff Pearlman?
I'm working on a biography about John Milton Hay, the 12th U.S. assistant secretary of state.

Anna Nicole's Lover, Psychiatrist Convicted in Drug Conspiracy Case
NEW YORK, Oct. 28 /PRNewswire/ — The following was released today by legal expert and media commentator Matt Semino:
Today, a Los Angeles jury reached a verdict on the Anna Nicole Smith Drug trial. After two weeks of deliberations, the jury found Howard K. Stern guilty on two of nine criminal charges. The jury convicted Stern on two felony conspiracy charges and may now face jail time pending sentencing from Judge Robert Perry. The jury also convicted psychiatrist Dr. Kristine Eroshevich on four charges related to conspiracy and "supplying and furnishing" Anna Nicole with illegal prescriptions. The jury was deadlocked on charges of "providing controlled substances to a known addict" and "conspiracy to provide illegal prescriptions" to Anna Nicole in regards to "non-lethal" drugs. Dr. Sandeep Kapoor was acquitted of all six charges.
In his recent Examiner Column, legal expert and media commentator Matt Semino described Howard K. Stern as a "master puppeteer who not only manipulated Smith's drug addiction but also countless areas of the U.S. legal system."
In addition to his criminal convictions, Stern still faces other court battles which stem from his relationship with the late model and reality-tv star. Stern serves as the executor of Smith's estate which has been tied up in a 15 year legal battle. The case will be heard by the Supreme Court early next year.
Master Manipulator of Anna Nicole Must Account for His Actions
After weeks of testimony from prosecution, a surprising decision by the defense to call no witnesses and extensive speeches and instruction from Judge Robert Perry, twelve jurors are now deliberating behind closed doors, deciding the fate of Anna Nicole Smith's lawyer, lover, companion, and one-time alleged father of Smith's daughter, Dannielynn Birkhead. Howard K. Stern, along with Drs. Sandeep Kapoor and Khristine Eroshevich, stands accused of criminal charges for drug facilitation for providing Smith with powerful prescription medications, enabling an addiction that eventually led to her overdose and death in 2007.
From the very beginning of his relationship with the former Playboy model, Stern took advantage of his role in Smith's life to manipulate her weaknesses and enjoy both her money and her fame. As testimony given in his criminal trial described in detail, Stern allegedly facilitated Smith's drug addiction by not only handing her hundreds of pills but also by obtaining prescriptions for her under false names. Now, the master manipulator faces nine charges and the prosecution strongly contends that Smith's downfall and eventual death never would have happened without Stern's involvement and influence.
These criminal charges, however, aren't the only things weighing on Howard K. Stern's mind. In the court of public opinion, Stern is accused of much, much more. Many believe he is a master puppeteer who not only manipulated Smith's drug addiction but also countless areas of the U.S. legal system, including a Texas probate court, bankruptcy court and now the Supreme Court of the United States.

Some meetings aren't being held this year that were held last year even though they were strictly business-related, but these decisions were made last year. I do think that meetings won't be the only thing that comes under attack. Granted, the AIG example is huge, but I've seen it sticking in people's minds when it comes to internal business planning. As people become more nervous, more fingers are being pointed along with the question, "Should we be doing that in this environment?". And the fingers are pointed at even the littlest items that are critical to the business.
Canceling Meetings a PR Ploy?
I just saw this on the Face2Face blog regarding a recent online survey by Special Events. This paragraph caught my eye:
Some 68 percent of respondents to an online poll from Special Events last week say that recent moves by corporations to cancel incentives and other meetings are PR ploys to avoid the "AIG effect." Twenty-eight percent say the cancellations are a business decision; 2 percent of respondents say they do not know why the events are being canceled.
