Can iptables really stop a DoS or DDos attack? I'm asking this because I've heard that there really isn't a way to stop a viscious DoS attack. If you find out the IP address of the attacker, you could add a rule such as:
iptables -I INPUT -s ipaddress -j DROP
Is it that easy to stop a "packet kiddie"? Or what about a ddos attack that comes from multiple IPs. I guess in that case you could drop an entire class b / class c IP address.
Also, I heard there is a way to re route those packets so the attacker would be essentially attacking himself. How is this done?
DoS and DDoS can be stopped, but not super easily. lets say they are DDoS'ing you just by sending you massive amounts of data. even if you drop the packets you're still getting that massive amount of data, and you're bandwidth is too small to handle it. the solution is to have someone upstream stop it, like your isp.
DoS if the ip had enough bandwidth could do the same.
sometimes DoS aren't done with bandwidth. let's say there is a bug in apache that lets a user throw the server into an infinite loop of new requests, the server is so busy processing those that other (real) users are denied.

Elvis Presley
Associated Press
For most people, Elvis Presley was rock-and-roll. And they were right. Bill Haley may have made the first massive rock hit, and people such as Chuck Berry and Little Richard may have had an equally important creative impact on this raucous new American art form. But it was Elvis who defined the style and gave it an indelible image. The songs were tough and driving in a time, 20 years ago, when American popular music was still based on Tin Pan Alley tune-smithing. And the image was of a working-class rebel, pushing sex into the nation's consciousness long before the "sexual revolution." Presley became the focus for a new kind of youth music, one that swept aside the gentilities of the adult-oriented pop of previous decades and reflected the swelling youth market of the postwar baby boom. — John RockwellRead the full appraisal

Elvis Presley: Homage to a Rock King
Elvis Presley, who was born almost 50 years ago, has long been recognized as one of America's most gifted, distinctive and influential popular singers.

Miles Maiden, the founder of Hydro-Photon, Inc. and a dedicated outdoorsman, thought that there were better ways than filters or chemicals to purify water in the wild. After years of research, he dedicated himself to the development of ultraviolet technology – the same technology used in municipal water treatment plants - for use in a personal, portable device that would provide the user with safe drinking water anywhere. Hydro-Photon received its first SteriPEN® patent in 1999, followed by patents in 2000 and 2003. In 1999, the first SteriPEN® was sold through REI, and in 2001 TIME Magazine named the SteriPEN® one of the "Best Inventions of the Year." The SteriPEN® is now known as the first and fastest portable UV water purifier available. It kills viruses, bacteria and protozoa—including Giardia and Cryptosporidium—in seconds. Its speed, effectiveness and portability have impressed end users and media alike. Backpacker Magazine, Newsweek, and the Today Show have featured SteriPEN® as a powerful, user-friendly alternative to pumps, chemicals and filters.
The products in the SteriPEN category have an average rating of 4 of 5 from 1 customer reviews.

Trailing 27-26 at 4:24 in the second period, the USA strung together 11 unanswered points to lead 37-27 at the midway point, and that momentum carried into the second half, which saw the USA improve its shooting from 39.4 percent (13-33 FGs) from the field to 56.3 percent (9-16 FGs) in the third quarter to pull away from Sweden.
Yogi Ferrell (Indiana/Indianapolis, Ind.) led the Americans with 20 points, including 4-of-7 shooting from 3-point, while Treveon Graham (VCU/Temple Hills, Md.) added 14 points and seven boards. Cory Jefferson (Baylor/ Killeen, Texas) grabbed a game-high 10 rebounds to go with his eight points, and Spencer Dinwiddie (Colorado/Woodland Hills, Calif.) dished out a game-high six assists.
"First of all, Frank Martin (USA assistant coach) did an outstanding job in terms of preparing our team," said USA head coach Bob McKillop (Davidson College). "We knew they were going to hold the ball. We knew they were going to work the clock. We knew they were going to tempt us to get a little too aggressive offensively and then become almost a half-court team, allowing them to run their sets. In the second half, we became a little bit more aggressive in terms of forcing them to run their sets a certain way. We got some stops, and some guys made terrific plays in the open court, but Frank gave us a great scouting report."
The first quarter saw three tied scores, as neither team was able to pull away. Graham, Jefferson and Adreian Payne (Michigan State/Dayton, Ohio) combined to help the USA take a 9-4 lead at 6:04, but Sweden fought back to within one point, 11-10, by the 2:45 mark, and then led 15-14 with a 3-pointer at 46.4 seconds. A made free-throw from Tyler Haws (BYU/Alpine, Utah) tied the game at 15-all before Sweden's Chris Czerapowicz, who plays for USA head coach McKillop at Davidson College, sank a 3-pointer at 19.0 seconds. Ferrell answered right back with his own three at 1.2 seconds, and the USA headed into the second stanza leading 18-17.
The second quarter saw the USA put up the first four points before the teams traded baskets until 6:10, when Czerapowicz once again gave his side a lead with a 3-pointer, 27-26. This time, Luke Hancock (Louisville/ Roanoke, Va.) answered for the USA, and his two points were the start of the 11-0 spurt that saw the red, white and blue finish the first half ahead 37-27.
"Our offense was a little sluggish," Ferrell said of the first half. "We were trying to make too many 'home runs' as coach says, shoot too many threes and we weren't really hitting but we kept shooting. I felt we finished out the half pretty well with a 10-point lead. We kind of got it inside a little more, and then we kind of opened it up in the second half."
That 10-point margin lasted through the start of the third quarter before the USA took control. A made free-throw from Payne at 7:09 was the first of nine-straight points for the USA, which led 51-33 after Dinwiddie pulled up for two points at 4:45. That nine-point cushion proved to be another difference maker, as Sweden nearly kept pace with the USA from there, matching the USA's next 13 third-quarter points with 11 of it's own to trail 64-44 headed into the final 10 minutes.
Will Sheehey (Indiana/Stuart, Fla.) scored all seven of his points in the fourth quarter as the U.S. lead reached as high as 27 points, 83-56. Sweden, however, tallied the last nine points of the game to outscore the USA 21-19 in the period and bring the score to its 83-65 final.
"Our defensive pressure and energy was off the charts," Sheehey said of the second half. "First half, we were a little sluggish on defense. We gave them open shots. Second half, we were closing on defense and got early buckets."
The USA finished with a 47-34 rebounding advantage and scored 46 of its points in the paint, compared to Sweden's 26. While the USA's shooting improved dramatically in the second half, Sweden's did not. For the game, Sweden shot 38.5 percent (25-65 FGs) from the field and just 28.0 percent from 3-point (7-25 3-pt FGs).
The USA will continue preliminary round play against Australia (2-1) at 6:30 p.m. (times listed are local; Kazan, Russia, is +8 hours from EDT) on July 11, before taking on Canada (3-0) at 1 p.m. on July 12.
Also today in the USA's Group C, Czech Republic (1-2) beat United Arab Emirates (0-3) 100-54, while Canada remained undefeated with a 92-83 win over Australia. In Group D, Brazil (3-0) beat Chile (0-3) 106-40, Finland (2-1) edged Norway (1-2) 60-55 and Lithuania (3-0) cruised past China (0-3) 129-52.
Following the preliminary round, the first and second-placed teams in each of the four pools advance to the medal quarterfinals on July 14 to compete for first through eighth places; while the remaining teams will play out for ninth to 24th places. The semifinals will be played on July 15, and the finals will be contested on July 16.
Assisting McKillop on the USA sideline are John Beilein of the University of Michigan and Frank Martin of the University of South Carolina.
The USA is looking for its first gold medal at the World University Games men's basketball competition since 2005, and currently holds a 141-9 all-time record in World University Games play.

Hundreds packed an auditorium at Central Maine Community College to voice their displeasure with Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield's insurance proposal that would force individual policy holders into a network with MaineHealth providers.
AUBURN, Maine (AP) _ Under the plan, people who bought individual policies after March 2010 could no longer see doctors at Lewiston's Central Maine Medical Center, Bridgton Hospital or Parkview Adventist Medical Center in Brunswick.
They say the plan would force them to drive farther for care, jeopardize established patient-doctor relationships and reduce choice.
Anthem officials say the plan will expand access to affordable health care.
One of the speakers Thursday was writer Stephen King's daughter. The Rev. Naomi King reminded people that local hospitals treated her father when he was critically injured when struck by a car in 1999.

Weighing only 7.3 lbs. (3.3 kg) and measuring only 12.5"w x 13.2"d x 4.4"h (317mm x 336mm x 111mm), the LV-7275 is both lightweight and versatile, making it a preferred choice for those on the go. The LV-7275 can also operate as a front or rear screen projector, and can be mounted on the ceiling. Boasting Quick Start and Quick Cooling, the LV-7275 will start up in approximately eight seconds and cool down within only 30 seconds. No matter where you decide to use your projector, the LV-7275 will operate at a low 35dB in Normal Mode and 29dB in Quiet Mode.
The new LV-7275 has a variety of additional features that make setting up and operating the projector simple and straight-forward:
Automatic Keystone AdjustmentThe LV-7275 gives you further flexibility by adapting to the environment with the automatic keystone adjustment. Simply place your projector on a flat surface, and keystone will correct automatically. With no buttons to push, the LV-7275 setup is a breeze! Built-in sensors detect the tilt of the projector and automatically correct for keystone distortion up to +/- 30 degrees vertically. Of course, you can still adjust keystone correction manually.
New User-Friendly Control PanelDuring your presentation, you will be able to stay focused thanks to the LV-7275's new user-friendly control panel. Easily control the volume, make menu selections and switch between four different input sources with the touch of a button. With buttons resembling those of simple-to-understand printers and copy machines, the projector's control panel operations are a cinch. If you prefer, you also have the option to control the projector using the wireless IR remote control.
New Tab-Style MenuThe LV-7275's intuitive new tab-style on-screen menu makes it easier than ever to navigate through projector settings. Simple tabs of white text on a black background allow clear visibility to select the appropriate settings at a glance. All menu options are available in 21 different languages.
Closed CaptioningUnlike many projectors, the LV-7275 is now able to display closed captioning information. This new feature will clearly benefit those in your audience with hearing impairments, making it easier for them to understand difficult dialog.
User SecurityThe LV-7275 is equipped with a Key Lock function, used to disable the keys on the projector's control panel making the projector operable only from the remote control. This feature is helpful in preventing interruptions due to someone accidentally touching the control panel. In addition, the projector's built-in password protection ensures that only authorized users are able to start and operate the projector. At startup, a display will appear and prompt the user to enter a password set in advance by the projector's owner. Users cannot get past this screen until the password is correctly entered.

Insider Guide: Best of Santiago
Head east and in no time you'll reach the Andes; west and you hit the beaches and coastline of the Pacific Ocean.
Located in the middle of a long, narrow country, that directional review has for too long described Santiago's value to many onward-bound travelers.
But Santiago (metro area population 7.2 million) is an undervalued treasure among South American cities.
It's worth putting off Chile's other attractions a few days to get to know the best of Santiago's culture, food and pulsing nightlife.
There's a boomtown feel around Santiago these days. The national economy is buoyant, corruption is low and the city's infrastructure is solid. The last decade has seen countless bars, hotels and restaurants open.
Here's where to find the best of Santiago.
Print and go -- Our traveler-friendly one-page guide here: Best of Santiago
The Aubrey
The Aubrey is made up of two 1920s mansions. Like a family home, the heart of the hotel is a large staircase.
Wide hallways come off each landing with art deco furniture, inviting you to sit back and take advantage of the constant supply of tea, coffee and fresh baked items.
The dark wood paneling is offset with block colors, printed fabrics and crystal chandeliers.
The restaurant opens onto a cobbled patio and outside there's an outdoor swimming pool with massage jets.
The Aubrey Boutique Hotel, 317 Constitucion Bellavista, Providencia, Santiago 753 0137 Chile; +56 2 940 2800; from 114,300 Chilean pesos ($240) per night
The Ritz-Carlton, Santiago
In the center of the wealthy El Golf neighborhood, the 205-room Ritz Santiago delivers on the luxury and service of the well-known brand.
Among features are four restaurants serving top Chilean cuisine, a spa, more than 9,000-square-feet of meeting space, rooftop fitness center overlooking the Andes and many rooms with tourist-board views of the Santiago skyline.
Among numerous awards and recognition, Travel+Leisure picked it as a top 10 hotel in Latin and South America for 2012.
The Ritz-Carlton, Santiago, Calle El Alcalda No. 15, Las Condes; +56 2 2470 8500; from $280 per night
The Ritz-Carlton Santiago, Calle El Alcalde No. 15 Las Condes, Santiago Chile; +56 2 2470 8500; from $280 per night
The W
The W sits in Las Condes, the commercial part of town.
Modern and slick, rooms have full-length windows looking across the sprawling city. There's a feeling among many business travelers that this is the place to be.
A highlight is the roof terrace with infinity pool.
A heli-pad lets high rollers escape the city without thinking about things like traffic -- that means in winter being on the slopes in 90 minutes.
W Santiago, Isidora Goyenechea 3000, Santiago 3000 Chile; +56 2 2770 0000; from 74,000 Chilean pesos ($155) per person per night
Hotel Lastarria is a best of Santiago boutique hotel. New in October 2011, it sits in a restored townhouse dating to 1927.
With just 14 rooms, it's cozy. The antique furniture, thick curtains and sense of elegance recall colonial times.
There's a leafy outside area where breakfast is served in summer.
The location is great, right in the heart of the bohemian Lastarria district and surrounded by shops, cafes and art galleries.
Lastarria Boutique Hotel, Coronel Santiago Bueras 188, Santiago 8320135 Chile; +56 2 840 3700; from 58,000 Chilean pesos ($122) per night
Noi Vitacura
Opened in July 2011, Noi Vitacura is located in the upscale Alonso de Cordoba neighborhood.
Its 88 rooms are modern, with lots of bare wood, statement art pieces and large baths.
There's a spa, two restaurants and roof terrace with comfy lounge chairs and tables with very cool inbuilt fire pits.
Noi Vitacura, Nueva Costanera 3736, Santiago Chile; +56 2 941 8000; from 62,000 Chilean pesos ($130) per person per night
Departmentos Amoblados Costa Belles Artes
Not a hotel, these furnished apartments are well maintained, centrally located and come with a helpful staff, laundry facilities and room service.
Apartments have TVs, kitchens and a clean yet homey feel.
The property is within walking distance of Palacio de la Moneda, Santa Lucia Hill and other landmarks.
A great bargain in the capital for many satisfied travelers.
Departamentos Amoblados Costa Bellas Artes, Paseo Huerfanos 547, Santiago 8320150 Chile; +56 2 832 0150; from $60 per night
In his mid-30s, Mexico City native and Sukalde owner/chef Matías Palomo calls the secret to his success a "knowledge of flavor." He came to Chile at age 17 and fell in love with the local cooking traditions and ingredients, which he uses to stunning effect in his Chilean fusion cuisine.
There's lots of seafood on the menu, as well as novel creations such as organic salad with king prawn, rice paper and truffled vinaigrette.
There's a fun drink list, too, that includes papaya and calafate sours.
Reservations recommended.
Sukalde, Nueva Costanera #3451, Santiago Chile; +56 2 228 5516; moderate
Puerto Fuy
You'll find lots of seafood at this long-established best of Santiago award-winner.
What the restaurant describes as its "modern French" cuisine might take in anything from Patagonian hake with ratatouille and yellow tomato coullis to abalone served with a cilantro, parsley and olive oil sauce to superb grilled meats.
You'll find a variety of restaurants along Nuevo Costanera, so if Puerto Fuy is full or the menu doesn't appeal, you should find something nearby.
Puerto Fuy, Nueva Costanera 3969, Santiago Chile; +56 2 208 8908; expensive
El Jardín de Epicuro
This fun, fashionable place has a nice selection of tapas (ham, seafood, cheese, tortillas, tostadas), as well as heartier grilled meats and fish.
The bar serves a variety of excellent piscos.
The warm brick-and-wood interior will make you want to hang out for a while.
El Jardin de Epicuro, Orrego Luco 034, Santiago 7500000 Chile; +56 2 710 5451; moderate
Astrid y Gastón
Astrid y Gastón is the Latin American chain sensation at the forefront of the upscale Peruvian cuisine movement that's taken hold across Spain, South America and parts of North America.
Maize, potatoes and quinoa take care of the starches. From there the cuisine might best be described as Peru-meets-the-world. Roast lamb, duck, abalone, foie gras, even shrimp-stuffed ravioli make their ways onto the menu.
Don't be put off by the "chain" description. Chef/co-founder Gastón Acurio is a celebrity chef often described along the lines of a Latin American Jamie Oliver and his upscale restaurant is a best of Santiago experience.
Astrid y Gaston, Antonio Bellet 201 Providencia, Santiago Chile; +56 2 650 9125; expensive
De La Ostia
There's high energy and generally a happy crowd at this informal neighborhood favorite that does excellent sangria and pisco sours.
Fans often describe the vibe (and sangria) as more Spanish than Chilean.
The tapas are decent (calamari, tortilla with potato and chorizo), but this is mostly a place to hang out for a few rounds.
De la Ostia, Orrego Luco 065, Santiago Chile; +56 2 335 1422
Opera Catedral
Of many excellent bars in Lastarria, Opera Catedral is a classy pick.
With wood paneling and wood ceiling, the medium-sized drinkery showcases a variety of live music, from DJs to torch singers.
There's a good restaurant on the top floor.
Opera/ Catedral, Jose Miguel de la Barra esq. Merced, Santiago Chile; +56 2 664 3048
La Piojera
This "100 percent Chileno" bar might seem rough around the edges to some, but if you're looking for an easy authentic local experience (yes, it's touristy, but locals come as well), this is a good place.
The big draw is the Chilean national cocktail, the "terremoto" (earthquake). It's intended to make you feel shaky afterward.
The terremoto is made with a sweet, fermented wine called pipeño and served with fernet alcohol and pineapple sherbet or sorbet in a large glass. You get an "aftershock" (same drink, half the amount) following the first round.
This is without doubt a best of Santiago experience and not to be missed.
La Piojera, Puente, Santiago Chile; +56 2 698 1682; budget
You love Chilean wine, so it makes sense to visit a wine bar that specializes in local product.
This chic, modern wine bar is the place to do it. The special flight of six Chilean wines are each paired with a light tapas.
Bocanariz, Jose Victorino Lastarria 276 Santiago Historico, Santiago Chile; +56 2 638 9893; moderate
Club La Feria
Santiago's nightlife doesn't get a lot of international hype, but the late-night club scene in the capital can stand toe-to-toe with any on the continent.
Club La Feria is the reigning DJ, dance and light-show champ.
It's loud and has plenty of scenery to gawk at, but the smallish club fits only 250 people. That means the dance floor is PACKED.
Show up before midnight and you'll hear crickets chirping. As at most Santiago discos, the heavy activity gets going between 2 and 3 a.m. (And ends at 5 p.m., when bars close in the city.)
Club La Feria, Constitucion 275, Santiago 7520291 Chile; +56 22 735 8433; moderate to expensive
Pueblito Los Dominicos
This cute, adobe-and-tile-roofed craft market is the place to browse and buy small gifts and souvenirs: clothes, fabrics, ceramics, paintings, furniture, carvings, glasswork, more.
A series of stalls in a small village-like setting sell crafts made by more than 150 Chilean artists.
There are relaxing outdoor cafes in the complex with coffee and empanadas.
CENTRO ARTESANAL PUEBLITO LOS DOMINICOS, Apoquindo 9085 Las Condes, Santiago 7600740 Chile; +56 2 2201 9749; Tuesday-Sunday 11 a.m.-7:30 p.m.
Plaza de Armas
As in nearly all colonial South American cities, the Plaza de Armas is at the heart of the historic center. This is the point in the capital from which all distances in Chile are measured.
Known as downtown, there's plenty to explore, lots of points of interest and steady people watching.
The neo-classical Catedral Metropolitana has a spectacular eighteenth-century Baroque interior. The Palacio de la Moneda is an eighteenth-century neoclassical building that serves as the presidential office.
A few blocks away (follow your nose) is Mercado Central, one of Chile's largest fresh seafood markets. Amid rows upon rows of stalls are restaurants, some behind smell-proof glass windows, others in the open. Either way, it's a great place for an impromptu lunch.
Plaza de Armas, Calle Compania and Calle Estado, Santiago Chile;
La Chascona (Pablo Neruda's house)
The former home of Chile's poet and Nobel Laureate, Pablo Neruda, quirky La Chascona is filled with odds and ends collected throughout his life that provide a glimpse into the poet's mind.
Located in the arty district of Bellavista, it's a 10-minute walk from the Mapocho River.
La Chascona, Fernando Marquez De la Plata 0192 Bellavista, Santiago Chile; +56 2 777 8741; opening times vary by season, closed Mondays; tour in English 3,500 Chilean pesos ($7)
Chilean National Museum of Fine Arts
The Chilean National Museum of Fine Arts houses more than 3,000 works, making it one of the finest collections in South America.
In addition to an impressive collections of works by Chilean and Spanish artists, the museum has a comprehensive collection of Asian pieces.
It's located in a fabulous Beaux-Arts building dating to 1910. The museum itself was established in 1880, making it the oldest in South America and among the continent's most important.
Chilean national Museum of Fine Arts, Parque Forestal s/n., Casilla 3209; +56 2 499 1600; closed Mondays; 600 Chilean pesos ($1.25); information site in English
San Cristobal Hill
Panoramic views of the city are worth the walk up Cerro San Cristobal Hill, 300 meters above the city.
The park area is pleasant. A white statue of the Virgin Mary overlooks the city. On a clear day the views stretch to the Andes.
The park and hill are crowded on weekends.
If you don't feel up to the walk, there's a cable car to the top or you can grab a can or minibus. However you manage, this is a best of Santiago landmark that shouldn't be missed.
Cerro San Cristobal, Parque Metropolitano, Santiago Chile; +56 2 777 6666

The permanent offices for the center are located at California State University, Sacramento. Participating CSU campuses include: Dominguez Hills, Fresno, Fullerton, Long Beach, Los Angeles, Northridge, Pomona, San Bernardino, San Diego, San Francisco, and the Cal State TEACH program.

I like this traditionally product for wrinkles and acne. Very strong smell not desirable so I mixed with water it good so far. This works wonders in acne and in a weeks saw changes, my skin looks great. Takes times but yielded incredible results.
Alpha Keri was recommended to me by my older sister who is a Hospic nurse. In using this bath moisture rich oil, it leaves my skin soft without a greasy feeling. The fragrance is mild, as to not act up my allergies. I bath in it often, pat myself dry, and my skin is very smooth and nourished. I would recommend this product to everyone.

The reaction to California Democrat Senator Dianne Feinstein's introduction of her bill "The Assault Weapons Ban of 2013" on Thursday was almost immediate. The director of public relations for the National Rifle Association (NRA), Andrew Arulanandam, stated:
Senator Feinstein has been trying to ban guns from law-abiding citizens for decades. It's disappointing but not surprising that she is once again focused on curtailing the Constitution instead of prosecuting criminals….
The American people know gun bans do not work and we are confident Congress will reject Senator Feinstein's wrong-headed approach.
In her introduction of the bill on Thursday, Feinstein noted that she and her staff had been working on it for more than a year, waiting for the best time to offer it. The Sandy Hook shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, gave her that opportunity:
The bill introduced today is the product of more than a year of work, with input from across the country. Getting this bill signed into law will be an uphill battle, and I recognize that — but it's a battle worth waging.
We must balance the desire of a few to own military-style assaults weapons with the growing threat to lives across America. If 20 dead children in Newtown wasn't a wake-up call that these weapons of war don't belong on our streets, I don't know what is.
She outlined the principal goals for her bill: It would prohibit "the sale, manufacture, transfer and importation of 157 of the most commonly-owned military-style assault weapons." In addition, her bill would ban "large-capacity magazines … that hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition."
In addition, any transfer such assault weapons would require a background check first, even for private face-to-face sales, and such weapons would be required to be "stored safely using a secure gun storage or safety device in order to keep them away from 'prohibited' persons."

We used the word "claim" in the headline instead of words like "think" or "believe" because, frankly, it's really hard to find anyone not being compensated by the oil and gas industry who honestly believes that delaying fracking in populated areas while more research and testing on its health and environmental impacts is done is a bad idea. The exception is those nut jobs who think that questioning any action of a corporation makes you a Marxist.
Let's recap just a little of what we Commies have learned about fracking and oil and gas shale production while the drilling rigs have been paused by our local bans and moratoriums.
We now have a study out of the University of Colorado that found that if you live within a half-mile of a production platform your chances of getting cancer increase significantly. Our own government researchers here in Boulder (the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) have found that oil and gas wells and production facilities are responsible for much of the ground level ozone in the area, ozone that is bad for everyone but poses a severe health risk for asthmatics and others with respiratory illnesses.
We have research that shows that gas from as deep as 12,000 feet can find its way into our shallow groundwater after a 50- to 100-year upward migration. That means that the 20 percent to 40 percent of fracking fluid that is unrecoverable after each well is fracked likely has the same chance to make it into our water supplies at approximately the same pace. Sucks to be you, future generations.
And most recently, a new study out of the University of Missouri found that it's likely that fracking and other oil and gas activity, like spills, are putting hormone-disrupting chemicals into our surface and groundwater supplies, including the Colorado River that serves as a drinking water supply to tens of millions of Americans.
No wonder the industry wants to drill everything now before the rest of the research comes in. Just imagine what other dreadful discoveries we will be making regarding fracking and oil and gas shale development in the next few years.
We're afraid it's just going to get harder and harder for all those industry PR hacks to sleep at night. Perhaps someone should research that.
This holiday season, when you're lying around the house, engorged from your feasting and drinking, looking for something to do, why not hop online and sign the petition challenging the constitutionality of the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission?
Yes, this is that state board that is charged with simultaneously policing and promoting the oil and gas industry. Too often, it neglects the former.
So Carl L. McWilliams has launched a petition that reads: "The Colorado Oil & Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC) statutes illegally altered the Colorado Constitution @ ART. V, Sec. 35, ART. XX, Sec. 6 without the 'consent of the governed.' Therefore, Gov. Hickenlooper and the Colorado General Assembly have violated their constitutional oaths and must convene a special Constitutional Convention to remedy the unconstitutional Colorado Oil & Gas Conservation Commission statutes."
The petition, which has garnered more than 400 signatures, is available at http://bit.ly/1c1C4lE.
In his invitation to sign the petition, McWilliams cites the fact that Gov. John Hickenlooper has sued the city of Longmont over its fracking ban and has threatened to sue other municipalities that follow Longmont's path.
"Gov. Hickenlooper is guilty of the acts and omissions of 'Constitutional Torts' and must be made to answer to We the People of Colorado, (the Sovereign), in Federal District Court in Denver," McWilliams writes.
A bit Tea Party-ish, don't you think? Maybe the two ends of the political spectrum have more in common than they think. After all, the Occupy movement originally counted Tea Partiers among its supporters.
On the fracking issue, as with so many others, we have to agree that local control by the citizenry is better than a heavy-handed, big-government approach.
Respond: firstname.lastname@example.com
For every study that suggests some issue or another, especially in CO there are ten others that repute. If well site proximity and fracking escalated cancer and other illnesses then those in West Texas would have very clear trends of illnesses. Fracking and close well site proximity has been a way of life since the late 60's in the Permian Basin. There is no higher rate of cancer or other issues. Common sense in practice shows over and over that there is no evidence of issues, just those that wish to be disruptive or that are misinformed but passionate. If you are going to preach on cons, realistic or otherwise, then also talk to the pros...balance in perspective is always valued in the long run.
If the writers had read the University of Colorado Report mentioned in the article, they would know that the "increased" risk of cancer amounted to 80 cases per one million population. This is within EPA acceptable risk levels and is only slightly larger (60 additional cancer cases per milloion population) than earlier risk assessments done using the same data in Garfield County. The difference came from some additional data gathered for this study and the half-mile distance was somewhat arbitrary as it was established from a nearby odor complaint smelled up to a half mile away. It was not based on some established chemical concentration or specific risk factor. The writer also does not mention the various assumptions used to develop the risk assessment that may not represent a realistic exposure scenario. In any case, this is another example where a writer has taken numerous statements out of context and made them bigger than they really are.
Misinformation and bias by the writer of this article, by the way who's name is no where to be found. the comment "We now have a study out of the University of Colorado that found that if you live within a half-mile of a production platform your chances of getting cancer increase significantly". Incorrect. CU said "Study shows air emmisions near fracking sites MAY pose health risks".
Where are all of the dead oil field workers working on top of these oil and gas wells over the last 90 years?
Also, of the millions of gas stations in the US, 20% create levels of benzene exceed EPA clean air standards within 1/2 a block of the station. Why don't we condemn those stations, or homes first? Two-way street-pretty convenient.
Hydraulic fracturing has been underway in the U.S. for more than 60 years, and in Colorado for decades. Throughout this long history, the EPA confirms, there has never been a single incident of groundwater contamination related to hydraulic fracturing. What's more, C02 emissions are at near 20-year lows. This is a time-tested practice that has proven to be safe throughout more than one million well projects. Bans add unnecessary hurdles that impede the progress of our economy and our energy future. Bottom line: Responsible energy development is absolutely possible, all the while protecting our environment.

Purpose: To make the forums more attractive
Other Information: New wide screen monitors are making the forums harder to read. The current format is set such that the forums occupy 100% of the screen width. A smaller width, such as 1000 pixels, would make the forums uniformly easy to read.

I've tried setting the width in the control panel, but it doesn't adjust. I'll research it some more.
I must admit I like the dynamic width settings. Nothing worse then having a massive monitor and a puny site to look at.

Shu Uemura's The Little Prince Makeup Line
Tsumori Chisato Designs a Princely Collection For Shu Uemura
Fast-forward to the present day, and I'm captivated by The Little Prince once again, as Japanese designer Tsumori Chisato is set to launch her own adaptation of the classic novella in collaboration with Shu Uemura.
See more pictures, and get additional information about the collection after the jump.
Following her own whimsical style sense, the designer drew inspiration for the from the book for her Fall/Winter clothing, which translates nicely into this forthcoming line for Shu. Look for the the collection, which includes glittery touches, stars, and playful images of cats, in September. It includes: a mini brush set in a gold bag ($72); two palettes of blush and eyeliner ($75 each); a highlighter compact ($53); three shades of lipstick ($36); a quilted makeup bag ($88); and studded fake eyelashes ($72). So it looks like while you could get a royal thrill from these cute items, they'll definitely cost a princely sum.

Commercial Truck Financing and Leasing Tips - Great read with helpful information.
Truck Finance and Lease Companies - What company to choose?
Getting a semi truck loan - Scoring a loan and getting to work
You'll usually have the option to finance your semi truck and trailer right at the place of purchase. In doing so, you're able to pick out your truck and drive it home the same day. However, you're not obligated to get financing on-site. And you may end up paying for this convenience because on-site financing companies won't always offer you the best financing arrangement. Even if it is the best the company can offer, it may not be the best you're able to get. If you've got an established banking relationship, discuss your plans beforehand and see what type of financing deal you can get right from your bank. That relationship might get you a lower interest rate and an easier approval process.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — I felt better about Uncle Sam's fiscal situation when I read Rex Nutting's report that "spending is already coming down." But then I checked the numbers and it was déjà vu all over again. America's budget problems are as real as ever.
Read Nutting's column: "It's time to stop whining about spending cuts."
What's worse, President Obama in his inaugural address appeared oblivious to fiscal problems. He listed new spending programs, but no cuts. Yet America's major problem is unlimited spending and a Congress that sees no need to trim federal outlays.
The peak year for federal spending was 2009, when total outlays accounted for 25.2% of GDP. In 2010, as the economy began its first full year of recovery, outlays declined to 24.1% of GDP. They remained at 24.1% in 2011, and increased to an estimated level of 24.3% in 2012. The White House will release final numbers in its new budget in February.
True, discretionary spending — defined as spending that is not required by law — declined from 9.4% of GDP in 2010 to an estimated 8.5% of GDP in 2012. Congress is managing to cut something, mostly defense spending. But over the same period, entitlement spending — or mandatory spending — rose from 14.7% of GDP to 15.9%.
Spending is spending, and it harms the economy equally if it is discretionary spending or mandatory spending.
Obama laid out a clear philosophical case for more spending over less spending. That bodes ill for budget reform, especially entitlement reform.
On entitlements, Obama said Americans "reject the belief that America must choose between caring for the generation that built this country and investing in that generation that will build its future."
But the costs of Social Security and Medicare are growing rapidly. The Congressional Budget Office projects the cost of Medicare to rise from 3.7% of GDP in 2013 to 4.3% in 2022, and then to 14% in 2085.
Last fall CBO raised projected Medicare spending by $136 billion over the next decade due to lower-than-expected productivity and higher-than-expected costs for goods and services.
This is being paid by the young, who have higher unemployment rates and lower levels of savings.
Breakfast With Paul Ryan
Rep. Paul Ryan sat down with WSJ's Jerry Seib, David Wessel and a roundtable of the nation's top reporters to discuss the post-election political landscape. In this exclusive hour-long discussion, Rep. Ryan speaks about losing the election, his feelings about this week's inauguration and what we can expect from Obama's second term.
Since 2002 the labor force participation rate of workers 55 and over has increased by 6 percentage points, whereas the labor force participation rate of workers aged 16 to 24 and workers aged 25 to 54 has been declining. The biggest decline in labor force participation rates can be observed for workers aged 16 to 24.

Built for Skiers. The Atomic Skiwear Lookbook 14/15.
Sumann's sixth World Cup victory in numbers: 12.5 km and four perfect scores in the shooting meant he crossed the line using a complete Atomic package (WC Skate Featherlight skis, WC Skate boots and SNS Pilot Race Skate bindings) with a 35.7-second advantage. "I've already thought once or twice about quitting this season, because after third place in Östersund I didn't get anything else. That was a tough time for me," he said. But the 37-year-old Styrian, who moved to Seefeld in Tirol with his family last summer because of better training conditions, is now looking forward to his farewell tour in the Olympic season 2013/14: "Now I know why I'll be training at full throttle for another year," he says.
Atomic colleague Dominik Landertinger was also going at full throttle. In the deep snow of the last race of the season, the former World Champion of 2009 struck a path to second place on his Atomic WC Skate Featherlight skis. The 25-year-old thus thrust his way into third place in the overall World Cup standings - his best finish since sixth place in the World Championships 2009.
Before the final race of the season on 23 March in Årefjällsloppet (Sweden) the dominant Anders Aukland has already sealed his defense of the overall Ski Classics ranking title with 760 points. Only his brother and Atomic teammate Jørgen Aukland (660 points) can theoretically draw level with a victory in the final event. Using Atomic WC Classic Featherlight skis, WC Classic boots and SNS Pilot Race Classic bindings, Anders Aukland conquered the 54 kilometers of hills between Tingstadjordet and Lillehammer in 2:42:38 hours, winning for the second consecutive year and for the fourth time in total.
