Thoughts on BABY SHOWERS (and showers in general)
I would kind of like a baby shower, but more of a get together type thing. But I really enjoy buying things myself for the kids. Tons of people don't go by what you register for (I am guilty of this) and most of the time I have my mind set on what I want. (man, that sounds rude) But, I would never throw myself one. I still feel like its tacky. I'm not really sure why...
I LOVE the idea of bringing diapers to eat! Love it!.
This is my first pregnancy, although we have adopted 2 kids, have never has a shower. I didn't even have a wedding shower! But me and my friends are all massage therapist so I am thinking it might be more of a spa day type thing.
A friend of mine hosted an open house after her baby was born, Gifts weren't required but most brought a gift. I thought this was a great idea because people could come and go and each get a little bit of one on one time with the baby.
I thought I was "weird" or wrong for thinking of my baby shower already! Glad I'm not alone! I had a really nice shower for my first pregnancy...we were so blessed, with a lot of gifts...a lot of big ticket items. But I don't think we'd get as many guests this time around nor as many gifts. This time around, I would like to be part of the planning, and I intend on buying the big items ourselves and only registering for the necessities...We'll see...I'm just praying that this baby makes it to the end!!! I haven't gone to my first OB appt yet, so I feel like I'm being a little precipitated...
Grrr anyways. If somehow I find out It's a girl I'm having a really beautiful wedding decor styled theme with fresh flowers, floating candels, cute drinks, white linens and anything that makes you think of a beautiful summer event.
If It's a boy, I'm doing Breakfast at Tiffany's theme. Silver trays, Tiffany blue decor, cute little black maternity dress. This was my bridal shower theme, but it never happened. *tear*
If the gender remains a surprise... I'm doing a mix of a green, cranberry, orange, Just colors... No real theme. And I have a few games... Like everyone can wear a ribbon of the sex they think the whole shower. Collectively take a picture with my holding something blue or pink.
I LOVE guy baby shower games... I'll be sure to have more this time.
Those are my three... For now. All can be done on a small scale for home. I am not renting a venue again... Unless someone throws me a shower this time.
i had a baby shower with my 1st born son and than with our 2nd son we did a 1st bday for the oldest n welcome home for the 2nd born who was not even a month old at the time to let people meet him. than with our 3rd we did the same concept had a 1st bday 2nd bday n welcome home for the baby i had all boys but it will have been 4 years when we have this one n i dont have much so my mother in law is telling me we are having a party bc if this is a girl or even another boy she goes your gonna need the basics so theres nothing wrong n her family loves having gatherings. i told her my only thing is its gonna be coed n we will have a bbq or something so its just not a shower so men feel comfortable too.

Quote (originally posted by Dragonne):
"I know some people are caught up in what's "right" or "wrong" when it comes to registries, showers, etc., but if you can't just be happy for the exciting life event that the person is going through and have to worry about it being tacky or feeling used, you really don't need to be there anyway."
I agree that the etiquette police do not belong at baby showers because they are a celebration of life

Who got to decide what was proper etiquette & what wasn't? Why should it matter to anyone what someone a hundred years ago dictated for their friends & family? I agree totally that a shower is basically a celebration of the new life that is about to enter this world. My mom & grandma threw my 1st shower for my dd, & my mom is throwing another one in a couple of weeks for my ds. I admit, I wouldn't be comfortable having another shower if I was having another girl, but I wouldn't see a thing wrong with having a cook-out or something & everyone bringing diapers, wipes, baby wash & lotion or other essentials- after all, those items do run out! Clothing would still be an option for same gender if the new baby would be born in a different season than the 1st baby. Even if the mother doesn't need anything, she still has to carry the baby for 9 months, & I'm sure SHE could use some pampering. Take her to a movie, manicures/pedicures, a spa treat, or even dinner out will brighten her day & celebrate the miracle of life. Just because she's done it before doesn't make it 'old hat' (unless she's Michelle Dugger, of course!).
One of the games my friend did at her 2nd shower was they took a few essentials & put them in brown paper bags with a number on each bag. We passed the bags around & tried to guess what was in them. All the goodies in the bags went to the new mom, & it was quite fun. Also, try putting safety pins in a bowl of rice, blind-fold someone & give them 1 minute to see how many saftey pins they can find. It's quite fun for the people watching to see how many they put back in the bowl because their fingers can't tell the difference! As for the 'guess how big around' game: that has to be the most awful game I've ever heard about, especially in our size-conscious society.

Some people may enjoy a floating shower over a more traditional shower. To each to his own.
I personally think all shower games are very lame. I will do very quick ones just so I can give prizes, but none of the cheesey stuff.

At one baby shower, we played a really clever game everyone. The hostes passed out a tiny carton of playdough to each guest. Then we had to make a baby out of the dough. It was actually fun! The new mom-to-be chose the winner.

I'm letting you know that my chapter is published in a book here: http://www.igi-global.com/book/rethinking-machine-ethics-age-ubiquitous/125523
It's heavily influenced by Jung's work and (my understanding of) active imagination both in methodology and topics, so check it out. It's called the most difficult chapter in the Preface (available for free).

Some of you are aware of it. Some people out there are also aware of it. Aware of what? I've been thinking for awhile about playing with this hypothesis: in order for us to be self-aware and even alive (free will, metabolism --> self-repair --> reproduction, strange loops, reversed entropy, self-awareness, teleology, ...), there seem to be moments when time is running backwards.
Here are some examples what someone (for instance me) would be able to achieve if the hypothesis was…Continue

Sooner or later, anyone interested in C.G. Jung will hear/read about synchronicity. In my case it was later, when I already agreed with him about many things psychological. How does one's (positive or negative) attitude about mysticism and paranormal phenomena influence people's opinion about other Jung's ideas and motivation to study him at all?

> How about other names for Kali? Salome from Jung's Red Book could have been as well named Kali (or so it seems to me). Also, Judith has a very bad temper because she like to behead men just like Kali and Salome. Aleister Crowley called a similar manifestation of Anima Scarlet Woman/Babalon (my older sister from dreams when I was a child was wearing red and had long dark hair). There is one more name mentioned in one of Crowley's books I shall not mention here. I'm kind of talking here about something deeply personal.
Interesting question... I've looked at quite a few of Jung's works, but not at the Red Book... Certainly the association with beheading is something the Biblical Salome and Judith have in common with Kali.
Crowley was acquainted with India's vision of Kali, and wrote quite a long poem celebrating Kali by that name. Crowley's phrase "Beast and Babalon conjoined" corresponds to "Shivah shaktya yuktah" the words at the beginning of a Sanskrit Goddess hymn, the Saundaryalahari. The Saundaryalahari does not contain the name Kali, but Kali and Shakti are arguably synonyms.
Kali has a big range of associations in her extensive India literature. Including for instance an older and prevalent association with rainclouds. I doubt that Salome, Judith and Babalon include _all_ of Kali's attributes and associations, though there is undoubtedly much common ground.
There is a tradition of describing Kali as the Mahadevi, the Great Goddess, implying that all feminine powers are her aspects...
Maureen Murdock's book isn't quite the sort of thing that interests me right now. Because I doubt that every "heroine" or "hero" has the same "journey" to make. But thanks for the link.
Best for a lovely weekend,
Good afternoon Aleksandar - finally, we can communicate, privately, without a third party connector, all that hope-a-la, that good old saying from Star Wars movie comes to mind - 'May the force be with us,' and we are in the deep, so we know the forces are present. Regards Linda

Monday's stock market moves are stunning for reasons beyond the actual gains. The moves among a number of major global indexes are also remarkably broad-based - although Canada stands out.
At the S&P 500, in late-afternoon trading, an amazing 96 per cent of stocks are up. At the Dow Jones industrial average, 97 per cent are up.
Overseas, at the U.K.'s FTSE 100, 98 per cent closed higher. And in Japan, 96 per cent of stocks in the Nikkei 225 were higher in overnight trading, even though the index rose a relatively tame 1.6 per cent.
Canada sticks out though: The S&P/TSX composite index was having a very good day on Monday afternoon, but just 86 per cent of stocks were higher.
Gold producers form only part of the explanation: With the price of gold down about $10 (U.S.) an ounce amid a new-found love of risk, some of the smaller names are down. However, Barrick Gold Corp. and Goldcorp Inc. were up slightly in afternoon trading after selling off earlier in the day.
Meanwhile, some of other down stocks come from a variety of sectors. Cable and telecom giant Rogers Communications Inc. was down 0.7 per cent, engineering and construction firm SNC-Lavalin Group Inc. was down 0.5 per cent. And TMX Group Inc., which runs the Toronto Stock Exchange, was down 0.04 per cent.

Composers don't always find fame and fortune
Composers have long been considered some of the most respected people of their day, but few have become wealthy from their musical efforts. The majority, in fact, have had to supplement their income by teaching, conducting or taking on other musical pursuits. Johann Sebastian Bach was one of music's most prolific composers, but he couldn't rely solely on income from his compositions to pay his bills. For much of his adult life, Bach served as a music teacher at St. Thomas' Church in Leipzig, Germany.
Countless others have found themselves in similar circumstances. Felix Mendelssohn established the Leipzig Conservatory in 1842. A half-century later, Vincent d'Indy founded the Schola Cantorum, a school for the study and restoration of old church music and French folk song. Many 19th century composers accepted prestigious administrative or teaching positions with the great music conservatories. In France, Gabriel Faure, Paul Dukas, Darius Milhaud and Olivier Messiaen all taught composition at the venerable Paris Conservatoire.
In Russia, Reinhold Gliere, Alexander Scriabin and Aram Khachaturian were professors of music at the Moscow Conservatory. Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov held a similar post at the conservatory in St. Petersburg. France produced a number of composers who doubled as organists. A Belgian by birth, Cesar Franck became organist at Ste. Clotilde in Paris beginning in 1858, and Olivier Messiaen was associated with Paris' La Trinite for 60 years.
If most European composers established careers in the country of their birth, a few accepted teaching positions in America. Between 1892-95, the Czech Antonin Dvorak headed New York's National Conservatory of Music. The British-born Frederick Delius enjoyed a long career in France but briefly taught music in Jacksonville, Fla. Delius had moved to Florida in 1884 in hopes of making his fortune as an orange grower. When that venture failed, he returned to Europe in 1886.
Gustav Mahler, composer of nine symphonies and numerous works for chorus and orchestra, devoted many years of his life to conducting. After holding posts with the Royal Opera in Budapest and the Vienna Opera in Austria, Mahler conducted at New York's Metropolitan Opera from 1907-09. He then spent two seasons as music director of the New York Philharmonic Society.
The outbreak of World War II forced many Western European composers to leave their homelands, and many found refuge in the United States. Germany's Paul Hindemith headed the composition department at Yale University until 1946; Hungary's Bela Bartok briefly taught at Columbia University; and Austria's Arnold Schoenberg was a member of the University of California, Los Angeles, composition faculty from 1936 to 1944.
A few composers became noted music critics. Hector Berlioz wrote for France's Journal des Debats; Robert Schumann contributed reviews to Germany's Allgemeine Musikalische Zeitung; and the American Virgil Thomson wrote for the New York Herald Tribune between 1940 and 1954. Finally, there are those who established careers outside music while continuing to compose. The Russian Alexander Borodin graduated from the Academy of Medicine in St. Petersburg and later became a chemist there.
The American iconoclast Charles Ives established a highly successful insurance business in New England, while the Greek composer Iannis Xenakis served as assistant to architect Le Corbusier from 1947 to 1959. Throughout much of the 20th century, many notable American composers became associated with one or more prestigious music schools. Howard Hanson spent 40 years as director of the Eastman School of Music; William Schuman and Peter Mennin both served as president of The Juilliard School.
Even today, few composers can make a living solely from their music. Though widely performed, Christopher Rouse, John Corigliano, Richard Danielpour and William Bolcom have all supplemented their income through teaching. Under such circumstances, you might think composers would view teaching as a necessary evil. But without the guidance and encouragement of their mentors, who's to say if their careers would have taken off? Thankfully, this practice has become a self- perpetuating cycle that should ensure the continued presence of serious music for decades to come.

Valley Grande looks to add park lights, featuresPublished 10:23pm Tuesday, January 8, 2013
VALLEY GRANDE —In their regular council meeting, Valley Grande Mayor Wayne Labbe discussed the proposal of using grant monies and tax dollars to add lights and various other amenities to the Valley Grande baseball fields. The proposal will be voted on in the city's next meeting, scheduled for Monday, Jan. 21.
"We're going to bid this out and get lighting for our ball fields, that way we can expand the use of our ball fields," Labbe said.
Because several baseball leagues use the fields, Labbe explained that adding lights would allow for more use of the fields at night.
"After the lights we would like to add bleachers, score boards, announcing booths and concessions," he said.
Funding for the project would come from tax dollars designated for capital improvements and a portion of a $30,000 grant.
Labbe said that he aims to get the project off the ground before the grant deadline expires.
"The project will take anywhere from eight to 10 weeks," he said. "Once we get the bids up we should be good to go."
The tax money that will be used to fund the project will be from alcohol sales, Labbe explained, which are part of a special tax fund.
"It's a restricted fund," he said. "We can't pay our bills with it, we can only use it for capital improvements, like the ball field."
Once the project is completed, Labbe said the baseball fields would attract more travel baseball leagues and thus potentially bring in more revenue for the city.
"That's going to be one of our primary projects in the next few years is getting that done," he said. "The previous administration did a fabulous job of getting it started and I think we need to finish it up."

Supportive, durable, comfortable. Just watch the sizing... Scarpa isn't kidding around when they note that they offer TWO half sizes. Technically, they offer two 1/3 sizes. So between each full size (US), you'll see, say 11 1/3 and 11 2/3. I typically wear a US 11.5. I tried the 45 which says its a 11.5 US, but it was really a 11 1/3 so I returned them and ordered the 45.5 (11 2/3). Of course, many will order their climbing and approach shoes a bit smaller than normal for peformance, so it's up to you. As always, try them on and walk around in the store wearing the socks, orthotics, etc that you would normally wear to see which fit you better.

A few months ago, I noticed that my daughter's skin is not very smooth on her arms. She has very time, flesh colored bumps on the outside of both arms. They remind me very much of goosebumps, except they are rougher. I never remember to mention it to my doctor because it doesn't seem like a big deal. But it seems to be getting worse. Any ideas?

Have you heard of KP, keratosis pilaris?
KP is when you get a build up of a wax like substance, keratin, over the hair follicles, called plugs. KP usually does occur in people with other health issues or auto-immune disease. But otherwise healthy people can have it too. The key to making it better is to soften the plugs.
I would bathe in plain water only. If you really need a cleanse, like he is sticky from ice cream, I would get abottle of cerave wash or cetaphil wash, these are soap free.
You can get a soft bath 'puff' and lightly scrub the skin to help soften the plugs and then do some heavy moisturizing. I recommend CeraVe in the jar.
I would give the vaseline baths a try every night for a week and see if it helps. Then use the CeraVe each morning and afternoon.
There is no cure for KP, but it does seem to come and go for many (worse in the winter) and go away completely for some younger ones. The good news is KP is NOT harmful. It might look bad at times, but there is no health concern.
There are other treatments that a derm can prescribe, but this where I would start, especially with a baby...
KP on caucasian skin often has a pink or red appearance, the darker the skin, the more flesh color the appearance....

- Back in Denver, Nacchio's request for waiver approved
In his petition for the U.S. Supreme Court to review his illegal insider trading conviction, former Qwest chief executive Joe Nacchio will raise questions related to the wrongful exclusion of expert testimony, materiality and jury instructions, according to a court filing.
Nacchio's attorney, Maureen Mahoney, laid out the key issues in a filing late Thursday that asks a 10th Circuit Court of Appeals panel to allow Nacchio to remain free on bond while the Supreme Court considers his petition.
"Nacchio will file his petition in three weeks, and that petition will raise several 'substantial questions' for review," the filing states.
This week, a federal judge ordered Nacchio to report to a prison camp in Pennsylvania on March 23 to begin serving a six-year prison term for illegal insider trading.

The latest bond request was made before the same three-judge panel that reversed Nacchio's conviction last year. The panel ruled 2-1 that the trial judge wrongly excluded expert testimony from a defense witness.
The full 10th Circuit appeals court disagreed and upheld the conviction in a 5-4 decision last week.
If the bond request is denied by the appeals panel, Mahoney indicates that she also will ask the Supreme Court to allow Nacchio to remain free on bond.
On Thursday, citing new evidence, Nacchio's team asked a Denver federal court for a new trial.
Nacchio argued in a late Thursday filing that former Qwest chief financial officer Robin Szeliga offered evidence in a pending civil suit that differs from her testimony in Nacchio's 2007 criminal trial.
Szeliga testified in a deposition in the civil case in February that she told Nacchio in late 2000 that Qwest would have a 2001 revenue shortfall of 1.4 percent.
Mahoney argued that the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, in its review of Nacchio's conviction, concluded Szeliga had told Nacchio that Qwest would miss its revenue target by 4.2 percent.

Ash borer might be in NHApril 06,2013CONCORD, N.H. An invasive beetle that has beleaguered 18 other states including Massachusetts and Connecticut might now be in New Hampshire.
The emerald ash borer, originally from China, has killed millions of ash trees nationwide since being discovered in Michigan in 2002. Its often spread by people transporting firewood, and much of the outreach nationally has focused on a Dont Move Firewood campaign.
State entomologist Piera Siegert said Friday that a tree in the Concord-area is showing signs of stress indicative of the beetles presence. She also discovered what she believes is ash borer larvae, but a federal specialist must confirm her findings. Siegert and others are meeting with Agriculture Commissioner Lorraine Merrill on Friday to discuss the situation.

Pigeons and Doves: A Guide to the Pigeons and Doves of the World
Yale University Press, 2001 - Nature - 615 pages
Pigeons and doves are a large family of birds occurring throughout the world. This book -- the first to be dedicated to the field identification of these birds and to be fully illustrated in color -- incorporates much recent information about them.
Many species of pigeons and doves are specialist frugivores, say the authors, while others feed on seeds. Most are arboreal, and the tropical species in particular are often brightly colored. The family includes gregarious migratory species as well as shy, ground-dwelling forms such as the exotic crowned pigeons of New Guinea. The comprehensive text is accompanied by 76 exquisite color plates that capture the essence of these varied birds and illustrate all species and subspecies.

The U.S. government will have unmanned surveillance aircraft monitoring the whole southwest border with Mexico from September 1, as it ramps up border security in this election year. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said U.S. Customs and Border Protection would begin flying a Predator B drone out of Corpus Christi, Texas, on [that date], extending the reach of the agency's unmanned surveillance aircraft across the length of the nearly 2,000 mile border with Mexico. "With the deployment of the Predator in Texas, we will now be able to cover the southwest border from the El Centro sector in California all the way to the Gulf of Mexico in Texas, providing critical aerial surveillance assistance to personnel on the ground," Napolitano said during a conference call. Earlier this month, President Barack Obama signed a $600 million bill that would fund some 1,500 new Border Patrol agents, customs inspectors and other law enforcement officials along the border, as well as paying for two more unmanned drones. The Predator B drones are made by defense contractor General Atomics. They carry equipment including sophisticated day and night vision cameras that operators use to detect drug and human smugglers, and can stay aloft for up to 30 hours at a time.
Note: How long will it be before aerial surveillance drones, now positioned over the southern border of the US, are deployed in other parts of the country?
Government agents can sneak onto your property in the middle of the night, put a GPS device on the bottom of your car and keep track of everywhere you go. This doesn't violate your Fourth Amendment rights, because you do not have any reasonable expectation of privacy in your own driveway — and no reasonable expectation that the government isn't tracking your movements. That is the bizarre — and scary — rule that now applies in California and eight other Western states. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, which covers this vast jurisdiction, recently decided the government can monitor you in this way virtually anytime it wants — with no need for a search warrant. It is a dangerous decision — one that, as the dissenting judges warned, could turn America into the sort of totalitarian state imagined by George Orwell. It is particularly offensive because the judges added insult to injury with some shocking class bias: the little personal privacy that still exists, the court suggested, should belong mainly to the rich. Plenty of liberals have objected to this kind of spying, but it is the conservative Chief Judge Kozinski who has done so most passionately. "1984 may have come a bit later than predicted, but it's here at last," he lamented in his dissent. And invoking Orwell's totalitarian dystopia where privacy is essentially nonexistent, he warned: "Some day, soon, we may wake up and find we're living in Oceania."

Mexico's sixth-largest city, Leon, is on the road to ... a future in which everyone is tracked wherever they go. Fast Company reports that U.S. biometrics firm Global Rainmakers and its Mexican partner announced yesterday that they have begun installing iris-scanning technology in the city of more than 1 million in Guanajuato state. The companies aim ... to create "the most secure city in the world." The first phase concentrates on law enforcement and security checkpoints. Then the iris scanners, which the firms say can "identify humans in motion and at a distance while ensuring liveness," will fill malls, pharmacies, mass transit, medical centers and banks, "among other public and private locations," Fast Company writes. "In the future, whether it's entering your home, opening your car, entering your workspace, getting a pharmacy prescription refilled, or having your medical records pulled up, everything will come off that unique key that is your iris," says Jeff Carter, CDO of Global Rainmakers. Before coming to GRI, Carter headed a think tank partnership between Bank of America, Harvard, and MIT. "Every person, place, and thing on this planet will be connected [to the iris system] within the next 10 years," he says.

One of the fastest-growing online businesses is the business of spying on Internet users by using sophisticated software to track movements through the Web, so that the information can be sold to advertisers. Julia Angwin recently led a team of reporters from The Wall Street Journal in analyzing the tracking software. They discovered that nearly all of the most commonly visited websites gather information in real time about the behavior of online users. The Journal series identified more than 100 tracking companies, data brokers and advertising networks collecting data — which are then sold on a stock market-like exchange to online advertisers. Angwin explains how consumer surveillance works, how users can disable the tracking software — and how advertisers are continually evolving to keep up with the data they receive. She notes that many Internet users are unaware that their information is being tracked and then traded. "Most people that we have heard from since writing these stories did not know what was going on," Angwin explains. "So when you go to a website, you're not thinking about the fact that they might have relationships with all different types of monitoring firms, and those firms are installing things that are invisible to you on your computer."

The growing use by the police of new technologies that make surveillance far easier and cheaper to conduct is raising difficult questions about the scope of constitutional privacy rights. The issue is whether the Fourth Amendment's protection against unreasonable searches covers a device that records a suspect's movements for weeks or months without any need for an officer to trail him. The GPS tracking dispute coincides with a burst of other technological tools that expand police monitoring abilities — including ... the widely discussed prospect of linking face-recognition computer programs to the proliferating number of surveillance cameras. Some legal scholars ... have called for a fundamental rethinking of how to apply Fourth Amendment privacy rights in the 21st century. Traditionally, courts have held that the Fourth Amendment does not cover the trailing of a suspect because people have no expectation of privacy for actions exposed to public view. On [August 12], five judges on the San Francisco appeals court dissented from a decision not to re-hear a ruling upholding the warrantless use of GPS trackers. Chief Judge Alex Kozinski characterized the tactic as "creepy and un-American" and contended that its capabilities handed "the government the power to track the movements of every one of us, every day of our lives."

It is just a technical matter, the Obama administration says: We just need to make a slight change in a law to make clear that we have the right to see the names of anyone's e-mail correspondents and their Web browsing history without the messy complication of asking a judge for permission. It is far more than a technical change. The administration's request, reported [on July 29] in The Washington Post, is an unnecessary and disappointing step backward toward more intrusive surveillance from a president who promised something very different during the 2008 campaign. To get this information, the F.B.I. simply has to ask for it in the form of a national security letter, which is an administrative request that does not require a judge's signature. The F.B.I. used these letters hundreds of thousands of times to demand records of phone calls and other communications, and the Pentagon used them to get records from banks and consumer credit agencies. Internal investigations of both agencies found widespread misuse of the power, and little oversight into how it was wielded. President Obama campaigned for office on an explicit promise to rein in these abuses. But instead of implementing reasonable civil liberties protections, like taking requests for e-mail surveillance before a judge, the administration is proposing changes to the law that would allow huge numbers of new electronic communications to be examined with no judicial oversight.

The federal government is launching an expansive program dubbed "Perfect Citizen" to detect cyber assaults on private companies and government agencies running such critical infrastructure as the electricity grid and nuclear-power plants. The surveillance by the National Security Agency, the government's chief eavesdropping agency, would rely on a set of sensors deployed in computer networks for critical infrastructure that would be triggered by unusual activity suggesting an impending cyber attack. Defense contractor Raytheon Corp. recently won a classified contract for the initial phase of the surveillance effort valued at up to $100 million. Some industry and government officials familiar with the program see Perfect Citizen as an intrusion by the NSA into domestic affairs. One internal Raytheon email, the text of which was seen by The Wall Street Journal [said,] "Perfect Citizen is Big Brother." Raytheon declined to comment on this email. The information gathered by Perfect Citizen could also have applications beyond the critical infrastructure sector, officials said, serving as a data bank that would also help companies and agencies who call upon NSA for help with investigations of cyber attacks, as Google did when it sustained a major attack late last year.

University of Reading researcher Mark Gasson has become the first human known to be infected by a computer virus. The virus, infecting a chip implanted in Gasson's hand, passed into a laboratory computer. From there, the infection could have spread into other computer chips found in building access cards. All this was intentional, in an experiment to see how simple radio-frequency identification (RFID) chips like those used for tracking animals can host and spread technological diseases. The research from the British university shows that as implantable bionic devices such as pacemakers get more sophisticated in the years ahead, their security and the safety of the patients whose lives depend on them will become increasingly important, said Gasson. "We should start to think of these devices as miniature computers," Gasson said. And just like everyday computers, they can get sick. "I don't think for us that (infectious technological agents) would be a particularly new concept, but implants in our bodies will make it a lot more real," Gasson told TechNewsDaily. "A denial-of-service attack on a pacemaker, if such a thing were possible, would of course be very detrimental."

At a warehouse in New Jersey, 6,000 used copy machines sit ready to be sold. Almost every one of them holds a secret. Nearly every digital copier built since 2002 contains a hard drive ... storing an image of every document copied, scanned, or emailed by the machine. In the process, it's turned an office staple into a digital time-bomb packed with highly-personal or sensitive data. If you're in the identity theft business it seems this would be a pot of gold. "The type of information we see on these machines with the social security numbers, birth certificates, bank records, income tax forms," John Juntunen said, "that information would be very valuable." Juntunen's Sacramento-based company Digital Copier Security developed software called "INFOSWEEP" that can scrub all the data on hard drives. He's been trying to warn people about the potential risk - with no luck. All the major [digital copier] manufacturers told us they offer security or encryption packages on their products. One product from Sharp automatically erases an image from the hard drive. It costs $500. But evidence keeps piling up in warehouses that many businesses are unwilling to pay for such protection, and that the average American is completely unaware of the dangers posed by digital copiers.

President Obama has signed off on new security protocols for people flying to the United States, establishing a system that uses intelligence information and assessment of threats to identify passengers who could have links to terrorism. The system, which will be put in place this month, applies only to travelers flying into the United States. Officials said intelligence information from a variety of United States agencies would be made available to foreign airlines, whose employees and security officials would have wide latitude to stop passengers, or not. Currently, the only information typically checked before a passenger boards an airplane is the name, date of birth and nationality — information found in a passport, which is compared against the terror watch lists. But the Homeland Security Department separately already collects much more information on the travel patterns of passengers headed to the United States, including other stops made on the way to an American airport, how the passenger paid for the ticket as well as other details contained in the reservation, like what hotel a passenger might be staying in, or if he or she is traveling alone.

A federal judge ruled [on March 31] that the National Security Agency�s program of surveillance without warrants was illegal, rejecting the Obama administration�s effort to keep shrouded in secrecy one of the most disputed counterterrorism policies of former President George W. Bush. In a 45-page opinion, Judge Vaughn R. Walker ruled that the government had violated a 1978 federal statute requiring court approval for domestic surveillance when it intercepted phone calls of Al Haramain, a now-defunct Islamic charity in Oregon, and of two lawyers representing it in 2004. Declaring that the plaintiffs had been �subjected to unlawful surveillance,� the judge said the government was liable to pay them damages. The ruling by Judge Walker, the chief judge of the Federal District Court in San Francisco, rejected the Justice Department�s claim � first asserted by the Bush administration and continued under President Obama � that the charity�s lawsuit should be dismissed without a ruling on the merits because allowing it to go forward could reveal state secrets. The judge characterized that expansive use of the so-called state-secrets privilege as amounting to �unfettered executive-branch discretion� that had �obvious potential for governmental abuse and overreaching.�

A broad coalition of technology companies, including AT&T, Google and Microsoft, and advocacy groups from across the political spectrum said Tuesday that it would push Congress to strengthen online privacy laws to protect private digital information from government access. The group, calling itself the Digital Due Process coalition, said it wanted to ensure that as millions of people moved private documents from their filing cabinets and personal computers to the Web, those documents remain protected from easy access by law enforcement and other government authorities. The coalition, which includes the American Civil Liberties Union, the Electronic Frontier Foundation and the Center for Democracy and Technology, wants law enforcement agencies to use a search warrant approved by a judge or a magistrate rather than rely on a simple subpoena from a prosecutor to obtain a citizen's online data. The group also said that it wanted to safeguard location-based information collected by cellphone companies and applications providers. forcement agencies and the Obama administration.

All dogs are to be compulsorily microchipped so that their owners can be more easily traced under a crackdown on dangerous dogs. Under the scheme a microchip the size of a grain of rice is injected under the skin of the dog between its shoulder blades. The chip contains a unique code number, the dog's name, age, breed and health as well as the owner's name, address and phone number. When the chip is "read" by a handheld scanner the code number is revealed and the details can be checked on a national database. The measures will be set out by the home secretary, Alan Johnson, who will point to rising public concern that "status dogs" are being used by some irresponsible owners to intimidate communities or as a weapon by gangs. If the scheme were made compulsory owners would face a fine for failing to microchip their dogs.

From 2004 through 2009, in a policy that has gotten completely out of control, New York City police officers stopped people on the street and checked them out nearly three million times, frisking and otherwise humiliating many of them. Upward of 90 percent of the people stopped are completely innocent of any wrongdoing. And yet the New York Police Department is compounding this intolerable indignity by compiling an enormous and permanent computerized database of these encounters between innocent New Yorkers and the police. "They have been collecting the names and all sorts of other information about everybody who is stopped and frisked on the streets," said Donna Lieberman, the executive director of the New York Civil Liberties Union, which is fighting the department's stop-and-frisk policy and its compiling of data on people who are innocent. "This is a massive database of innocent, overwhelmingly black and Latino people," she said. Police Commissioner Kelly has made it clear that this monstrous database, growing by a half-million or so stops each year, is to be a permanent feature of the department's operations.

It's time to reflect on the immense powers Americans have ceded to the government and [the] potential for abuse by federal, state and local authorities. The global Internet and telecommunications infrastructure provides massive information on almost ... every person on the planet. One power truly stands out --- the all-encompassing reach and technological capabilities of the US National Security Agency. If you want to be secure, don't use a phone, a computer, credit card or any other technologically linked system because it guarantees that Big Brother will find you. Big Brother is not just the government. Most consumer "spying" comes from subpoenas and requests from non-terrorist-related federal, state, local agency requests and non-governmental private litigation and discovery. Simply put, a subpoena issued by a court in support of private litigation and discovery may have the same impact on an individual as the full force of the NSA. What information is typically requested from a company by say a plaintiff's lawyer during some discovery phase? Well, it's everything. In fact, it's generally a fishing expedition for every log file, every uploaded video, photo, chat session and anything else they can get their hands on.

The world of modern eavesdropping, or signals intelligence ... for many years ... operated in the shadows. The Puzzle Palace, the 1983 best seller by James Bamford that remains the benchmark study of the N.S.A., first pulled back the curtain to provide a glint of unwanted sunlight on the place. As each operation has come to light, an anxious public has wanted to know whether this powerful new surveillance model was undermining traditional notions of privacy and civil liberties. Just whom is the government watching? And who is watching the watchers? It has been left to outsiders — journalists, authors, civil rights advocates and privacy groups — to keep tabs on the watchers and to bring public scrutiny to once-secret programs. For the spymasters, this spotlight was decidedly unwelcome. Mike McConnell, a director of intelligence in the Bush administration, ... is one of the recurring characters in The Watchers: The Rise of America's Surveillance State by Shane Harris. Mr. Harris, with some success, does what Mr. McConnell and others in the intelligence world have found so objectionable: he watches the watchers. At its best The Watchers provides an insightful glimpse into how Washington works and how ideas are marketed and sold in the back rooms of power, whether the product being peddled is widgets or a radical model for intelligence gathering.

Law enforcement is tracking Americans' cell phones in real time—without the benefit of a warrant. Amid all the furor over the Bush administration's warrantless wiretapping program a few years ago, a mini-revolt was brewing over another type of federal snooping that was getting no public attention at all. Federal prosecutors were seeking what seemed to be unusually sensitive records: internal data from telecommunications companies that showed the locations of their customers' cell phones—sometimes in real time, sometimes after the fact. Prosecutors "were using the cell phone as a surreptitious tracking device," said Stephen W. Smith, a federal magistrate in Houston. "And I started asking the U.S. Attorney's Office, 'What is the legal authority for this? What is the legal standard for getting this information?'" Those questions are now at the core of a constitutional clash between President Obama's Justice Department and civil libertarians alarmed by what they see as the government's relentless intrusion into the private lives of citizens. There are numerous other fronts in the privacy wars—about the content of e-mails, for instance, and access to bank records and credit-card transactions. The Feds now can quietly get all that information. But cell-phone tracking is among the more unsettling forms of government surveillance, conjuring up Orwellian images of Big Brother secretly following your movements through the small device in your pocket.

When Annie Brown's daughter, Isabel, was a month old, her pediatrician asked Brown and her husband to sit down because he had some bad news to tell them: Isabel carried a gene that put her at risk for cystic fibrosis. While grateful to have the information -- Isabel received further testing and she doesn't have the disease -- the Mankato, Minnesota, couple wondered how the doctor knew about Isabel's genes in the first place. After all, they'd never consented to genetic testing. It's simple, the pediatrician answered: Newborn babies in the United States are routinely screened for a panel of genetic diseases. Since the testing is mandated by the government, it's often done without the parents' consent, according to Brad Therrell, director of the National Newborn Screening & Genetics Resource Center. In many states, such as Florida, where Isabel was born, babies' DNA is stored indefinitely, according to the resource center. Many parents don't realize their baby's DNA is being stored in a government lab, but sometimes when they find out, as the Browns did, they take action. Parents in Texas, and Minnesota have filed lawsuits, and these parents' concerns are sparking a new debate about whether it's appropriate for a baby's genetic blueprint to be in the government's possession.

The FBI illegally collected more than 2,000 U.S. telephone call records between 2002 and 2006 by invoking terrorism emergencies that did not exist or simply persuading phone companies to provide records, according to internal bureau memos and interviews. FBI officials issued approvals after the fact to justify their actions. E-mails obtained by The Washington Post detail how counterterrorism officials inside FBI headquarters did not follow their own procedures that were put in place to protect civil liberties. A Justice Department inspector general's report due out this month is expected to conclude that the FBI frequently violated the law with its emergency requests. FBI officials said they thought that nearly all of the requests involved terrorism investigations. FBI general counsel Valerie Caproni said ... that the FBI technically violated the Electronic Communications Privacy Act when agents invoked nonexistent emergencies to collect records.
Note: The FBI, by admitting that "nearly all" of the phone records they obtained were related to "terrorism investigations," make it clear that some were not. But they used claims of "terrorism emergency" to obtain them. These they then assert were merely "technical" violations.

The Transportation Security Administration ... has on its web site a "mythbuster" that tries to reassure the public. Myth: The No-Fly list includes an 8-year-old boy. Buster: No 8-year-old is on a T.S.A. watch list. "Meet Mikey Hicks," said Najlah Feanny Hicks, introducing her 8-year-old son, a New Jersey Cub Scout and frequent traveler who has seldom boarded a plane without a hassle because he shares the name of a suspicious person. "It's not a myth." Hicks's mother initially sensed trouble when he was a baby and she could not get a seat for him on their flight to Florida at an airport kiosk; airline officials explained that his name "was on the list," she recalled. The first time he was patted down, at Newark Liberty International Airport, Mikey was 2. He cried. After years of long delays and waits for supervisors at every airport ticket counter, this year's vacation to the Bahamas badly shook up the family. Mikey was frisked on the way there, then more aggressively on the way home. "Up your arms, down your arms, up your crotch — someone is patting your 8-year-old down like he's a criminal," Mrs. Hicks recounted. It is true that Mikey is not on the federal government's "no-fly" list, which includes about 2,500 people, less than 10 percent of them from the United States. But his name appears to be among some 13,500 on the larger "selectee" list, which sets off a high level of security screening.

Dwell Development
More often than not, uber-green houses are vanity projects of the super-rich. They hire some architect to design a home with solar panels, geothermal heating systems and all the rest, and pay upwards of a million dollars (or two or three) to show the rest of us how it should be done. That's why it's interesting that some developers are coming along saying they can build affordable green homes.
Dwell Development
Perhaps even more interesting are several dozen other homes also being built at Rainier Vista by one of the contractors working on the "future" house. Anthony Maschmedt, who runs a Columbia City firm called Dwell Development, is building what he claims are unusually green homes--completely unsubsidized--that are selling in the $400,000 to $500,000 range.
He says he uses an approach that adds only an extra two to five percent in construction costs, say $125 per square foot instead of $120. He doesn't attempt all the green bells and whistles, like costly solar panels and drilling down into the earth for geothermal heating. Instead, he concentrates on one thing: "the envelope, making the house airtight," he says.
In addition to putting in energy-efficient windows, he sprays the house with what he calls a "breathable membrane," a rubber-and-asphalt-based substance that fills in all the nooks and crannies and keeps air from escaping. He also splurges on one major product, a ventilation system that uses the warm air inside a house to heat the cool air coming in from outside. He says the system dramatically reduces ongoing heating costs.
But he says he wants to do more. So, next door to where the "future" house will sit, he's building something called a "passive house"--a super energy-efficient house that originated in Europe. (See design of Rainier Vista passive house above.) In the average house, Maschmedt explains, air leaks out of a house nine times and is replaced by fresh air. In a passive house, air leaks out less than once an hour. (See how Maschmedt tests for air leaks in King 5's recent coverage.)
To reach that level of efficiency, he says, "every screw and every nail is analyzed." Every time a builder penetrates the outside of a house, creating a possible leak, the area is "caulked and sealed." For the Rainier Vista project, he's hired consultants who specialize in passive houses, Seattle's Brute Force Collaborative.
The house will cost a little more to build and thus will sell for a little more, likely in the low 500,000s. But Maschmedt maintains that's still not vanity-house territory, a point underscored by the fact that it is being built on spec rather than customized for "some rich guy trying to make a statement."
"I'm all for it," says Clark Williams-Derry, research director of the environmental non-profit Sightline Institute, upon hearing about Dwell's project. He sees passive homes as a big step up in energy efficiency. And he says, "they're not that hard to do. They should be catching on." He also notes that it costs less to build green houses than it used to, thanks to the increasing availability of things like super-efficient windows.
Still, there are those that are bound to want more green bells and whistles. Maschmedt's solution to that is to build a house so that those features can be added later. For instance, he'll put in meters to be used with a solar power system. But he envisions that most homeowners will contemplate putting in solar panels when they're no longer so expensive.

Reply coutura May 29, 2013 fitch got fitched Reply Joe Dog May 29, 2013 OK. Now we know. Reply INANEBIGNATE May 29, 2013 One reason It would be awesome to be a heavyweight (or fight at your natural weight class) imagine how much cutting weight would suck Reply Tear May 29, 2013 Now we know why he can't finish fights. He goes so easy in the gym. Reply dragoman May 29, 2013 I'd like to know what he eats/drinks during this process. Like does he not drink anything for the entire thurs night and friday, or does he allow himself a small snack. If anyone knows let me know. Reply Dave-O May 29, 2013 From the cover photo it looks he takes part in a gay orgy to cut weight. Reply shocktime May 29, 2013 Damn cutting weight looks horrible. All fighters should fight one class heavier. I walk around between 175-180, so that means I'd have to cut to 155 or I'd be a small welter weight. I can't imagine how skinny I'd look and week I'd feel at 155. Doesn't look fun, but guess fighters gotta do it because everyone else does. Reply Tear May 29, 2013 Helwani Nose Reply KungFuLowKick May 29, 2013 @dragoman There's many different ways but the guy I helped at my gym cut weight(more like watch him and catch him if he passes out the helping) only ate a handfull of rice and some water for almost a week before the fight.He's fighting at 135 and he's about 165.But he only eats clean and doesn't really take breaks after fights so he doesn't get out of shape between fights.He cuts around 15-20 pounds by starving for a week and the rest he cuts it in the last 2-3 days with water weight. Reply KungFuLowKick May 29, 2013 @Tear That's because he's cutting weight dummy. Reply c hill May 29, 2013 John Fitch. The scrapper that gave all the supposed "new superstars" a bad time. The grinder that no one wanted to deal with. The man in your face all the time grinding out your last bit of will, courage and confidence. An excellent fighter. That the ufc cut cause he wasn't all about the "glam." Grow that beard fitch, and kick some ass. Reply pangea12 May 29, 2013 What's with slagging this guy? It's a weight cut video. He's a beast…but yeah, not exactly a finisher to say the least. Why make homophobic comments, i's a f%@$ing sauna room. Sorry, I guess I forget that teens have internet access at all times.
