Update Notes
Updated on: 03/31/2015
Since we last visited BarsandStripes...
One of my favorite shows from the UK is about a women's prison. One of the storylines focused on a hot lesbian affair between the prison's governess and an inmate, but it's not like the show is filled with spanking themes, which is why the site Bars and Stripes won me over with just its clever name. I mean, British chicks behind bars having their bottoms beaten? How sweet is that?
The way the site organizes its content is definitely unique, which is why we won't be docking any points for design and navigation. It's one thing to have poorly constructed sites and another to just do things your own way. Basically, there aren't any separate video and photo sections. Instead, the content is sorted by where the action takes place.
BarsAndStripes makes you feel as if you're on an adventure to uncover the secrets held inside. You can check out the cells, offices and outside its walls. The list of sections includes the governor's office, the cell block and the intake office. You can look into solitary, the sick bay and watch interview and/or visiting sessions. There's also the PT room, governor's house and prisoners at large.
Counting the movies is no easy task, as they're often broken up into parts. That said, it looks to me like there are 285 videos in all. They can all be downloaded in Windows Media files and although they vary in quality, a fair number of them offer good-quality playback. I also came across some high-quality MP4s.
Counting the picture sets isn't any easier, because they too are broken up into parts more often than not. I counted 250 photo galleries in total. There are high-res pics to be had and you can download the images in Zip files.
The content does a good job of conveying what happens when inmates interact with the prison "screws" - that's British slang for prison officers. You'll see lawbreaking babes going through the various stages of being processed into the system. Some of the ladies get into trouble with their fellow inmates and other poor lasses really get their behinds whipped, caned and/or spanked until they're covered in red welts or black and blue bruises.
The site was upating often when we last checked it out, but as I look at it now, the last video was back in December 2014, which isn't great. Also, there aren't any extras aside from a diary that stopped being updated back in 2007. However, the content is compelling enough to hold most fans' attention. In the end, Bars And Stripes give you a creative take on punishment porn.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.
Score: 60% Date: 07/09/2012
the layout of this website is awful, the quality of videos ranges from the average to the poor and supper annoyingly there is a daily bandwidth allowance (not sure how big it is though). The idea is nice, the spankings range from soft to the upper end of medium, the girls are nice and there is a good amount of content.

FERGUSON, Mo. (AP/WJLA) - Two reporters covering the shooting of an unarmed black teen by a white police officer in a St. Louis suburb say they were arrested at a McDonald's Wednesday evening in the commercial corridor where angry protests have occurred.
Wesley Lowery of The Washington Post and Ryan Reilly of The Huffington Post say they were working in the fast-food restaurant when SWAT officers came in to quickly clear the area. Both quickly tweeted about their arrests, detention and subsequent release without any charges.
Ferguson Police Chief Tom Jackson did not immediately return a cellphone message from The Associated Press seeking comment.
Earlier Wednesday, authorities urged people to confine their protests to daylight after three nights of tense confrontations, looting, tear gas and a second shooting nearby.
Lowery and Reilly's tweets detail their chaotic experience:

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Reserve Board announced that they have reached an agreement in principle with ten mortgage servicing companies that are currently subject to enforcement actions for mortgage loan servicing and foreclosure practices. The mortgage servicing companies have agreed to provide $3.3 billion in direct payments to consumers harmed by the servicers' practices and $5.2 billion in other relief (e.g., deficiency judgment forgiveness and loan modifications). The settlement is in response to complaints by both industry and consumer groups that the Independent Foreclosure Review was costly and was not providing relief to consumers.

The Smithsonian National Zoo says Mei Xiang{}gave birth to a panda cub around 5:30 p.m. Friday.{}
The National Zoo reports that Mei Xiang immediately picked up the cub and began cradling it. The cub{}immediately began "vocalizing."
Following Chinese tradition, the cub won't be named for 100 days. Its gender won't be known for several days.
Mei Xiang had a quick two-hour labor. Her water broke around 3:30 p.m.
The giant panda{}began showing behavioral changes consistent with pregnancy weeks ago. Keepers said{}she began eating less and shredding bamboo for{}a nest.
Watch Mei Xiang on the{}Giant{}Panda Cam.
A Chinese panda expert performed artificial inseminations on Mei Xiang on March 30 after she failed to breed naturally with male panda Tian Tian. The father of the new{}panda cub will be determined by a DNA test.
Mei Xiang has given birth to two cubs. Tai Shan was born in 2005; a week-old cub died last September. Mei Xiang had five failed pregnancies before giving birth.
Panda cubs are especially delicate and vulnerable to infection and other illness. The first weeks of life are critical for the cubs as mothers have to make sure they stay warm and get enough to eat.
Last year's birth had come as a surprise, and zookeepers and visitors were devastated by its death days later. A necropsy showed the cub had died from a liver problem.
Washington's pandas are treated like royalty. The zoo was given its first set of pandas in 1972 as a gift from China to commemorate President Richard Nixon's historic visit to the Asian country.{}

My family and I had a great holiday in Orlando, FL. I must say your villa is perfect and would love to come back again in the future and will be recommending friends and family to stay there.

"Everything Grand"
I went for a 2 week holiday with my family to Orlando. We had a wonderful time. We visited some great theme parks, beaches, national parks, ... Some we found our selfs, but the owners made a great book with allot of suggestions for activities in the area. The house is very big and comfortable. It's clean, it's got everything you need and you feel right at home. An easy and correct contact with the owners, who will not hesitate to help you, when you have questions. Over all, a great stay at a great location (so we didn't have to spend to much time in the car). Thanks

"Great Holiday"
This was our 5th visit to Florida but the first time in a Villa. I would never use hotels again, it was like home from home and not having to live out of a suitcase. The facilities were very impressive (more impressive than the pictures) and the villa was extremely spacious and clean. We looked forward to returning after a full day out either shopping, visiting a park or going to the beach. Every last detail was thought of and I would highly recommend this villa to friends and family. Its location was in a very quiet but safe area, perfectly placed to visit the beaches of Tampa or the parks in Orlando. We had 3 teenage boys (15-18) who never got bored and this villa is ideal for families with teenagers. Finally the owners were a pleasure to deal with, always responded quickly to any questions we had. We stayed for 2 weeks in October 2013 and never needed to contact the agency once, all was perfect.

"A place to spend a wonderful vacation !!"
We have rented lot's of houses in the Orlando area during the years. Marbella South is one of our favorite communities in that area. When we were looking for a nice house we came in contact with the owners of this home through www.homeaway.com.
Contact with the owners went swift and genuinely pleasant. We were well informed and had only one question during our stay: the phone number of the house so our aunts from Fort Pierce could contact us.
Due to the optimal location of the villa, beautiful decorated, high roof, all rooms appear quite spacious and have relaxing light tones. All rooms were clean and well equipped.
The pool with heating option was great for our baby girl and ourselves.
Next year we hope to rent this home again. We would definitely recommend this home to our friends and family (not to many people, because we would like to rent the house again ;-))

TAMPA, Fla. -- Compared to a year ago, the Yankees had as good a spring training camp as a team could hope for.
Not one of their starters got seriously hurt. Masahiro Tanaka, their highest-priced acquisition of the winter, looked as if he just might be worth the money. Michael Pineda, a pitcher they had high hopes for -- and paid a high price for -- two years ago showed signs he might be about to pay off.
And they may have found a wild card in Yangervis Solarte, a young infielder who opened a lot of eyes this spring with his bat and his glove.
There was enough good news coming out of the final days of Yankees camp that it was easy to overlook some lingering worries.
Like, for instance, how they are going to replace Robinson Cano, and Mariano Rivera, and yes, Alex Rodriguez.
And how they are going to keep Derek Jeter on the field all season, and Carlos Beltran, and yes, Jacoby Ellsbury.
And what they are going to do if CC Sabathia can't cook without gas, or Hiroki Kuroda once again can't go the distance, or Ivan Nova can't put together one whole solid season.
But this is not the time to focus on what the Yankees can't do, or what might go wrong.
The end of spring training and the beginning of a new season is a time to assume that all will go right, even if you wouldn't be shocked if a lot of things went wrong.
That is simply the nature of a baseball season. Players overperform and underperform. Guys stay healthy or get hurt. Production you were counting on doesn't come through. And production you had no idea was possible suddenly becomes an everyday occurrence.
Like the man says, you just can't predict it, not over the course of six months, 162 games, and who knows how many different players passing through the clubhouse.
But if things go well for the Yankees, meaning Jeter and Ellsbury and Beltran remain healthy, Sabathia pitches like an ace again, David Robertson makes us all a little less nostalgic for Mo and even Brian Roberts helps ease the sting of losing Cano, then this could be a very good Yankees team indeed.
Just look at the difference between last year's Opening Day lineup and this year's:
Robinson Cano 2B
Vernon Wells LF
Jayson Nix 3B
CC Sabathia P
2014 (projected):
Jacoby Ellsbury CF
Derek Jeter SS
Carlos Beltran RF
Brett Gardner LF
Brian Roberts 2B
CC Sabathia P
The differences are obvious, and striking. No wonder even as laconic an individual as Jeter said, "It's a long season and it takes a little while before you really get a great feel for what the team is capable of doing, but I'm pretty optimistic about this group."
So, too, is Joe Girardi, who must have gagged when he wrote in Youkilis as his cleanup hitter and Francisco as his DH last April Fool's Day.
"Last year when we left, we were missing the middle of our order, the end of our order, the top of our order," Girardi said. "This year we leave with pretty much everyone in our order that we expected to be there. I think it was a very productive spring. I thought it was a very competitive spring. I really liked what I saw from our team. I feel good about it."
And he has plenty of reason. GM Brian Cashman's offseason spending spree added, potentially, a 100-run and 50-stolen-base guy at the top of his lineup, the most offensively potent catcher the Yankees have had since the heyday of Jorge Posada, and a No. 3 starter (Tanaka) who might be an ace on other teams.
Soriano, a trade deadline pickup last year, is a vast upgrade at DH over just about anyone the Yankees used last year -- does anyone remember Travis Hafner's Yankees uniform number? -- and while Johnson and Roberts are certainly not A-Rod and Cano, the belief is the other lineup upgrades will make up the difference.
And of course, there is Jeter, apparently healthy once again and motivated no doubt by the tantalizing prospect of winning once more in his final big league season.
Jeter sets the tone for this team, and as long as he can stay on the field, the Yankees will feel like the Yankees again, something they rarely felt like last year.
Jeter did not have a good spring at the plate -- he batted .137 with no home runs and two RBIs -- but said just the fact that he was able to play back-to-back-to-back days at shortstop without pain was proof enough for him that he is recovered from the ankle and leg injuries that robbed him of nearly all of 2013.
"I feel good," he said. "That was the most important thing. Spring training is a progression, both physically and being game-ready. I feel I'm where I want to be right now."
So is Sabathia, who, in the process of adjusting to his new, lower-octane repertoire, went 3-1 with a 1.29 ERA this spring, and Tanaka, who in his first encounter with major league hitters came away the clear winner, striking out 26 in 21 innings and walking just three batters all spring.
But perhaps the two most gratifying success stories of Yankees camp were Pineda, acquired in a trade for top prospect Jesus Montero two years ago, and then nearly lost to a torn labrum, and Dellin Betances, a kid who grew up a subway ride from Yankee Stadium, grew into a 6-8 fireballer but struggled with his control and lost his chance to be a starter.
This spring, however, a healthy Pineda pitched exceptionally well and won the fifth starter's job, and Betances, his 97 mph fastball back within his control, not only won a spot in the bullpen but had people in the organization talking about him as a possible closer one day.
And then there was Solarte, who had kicked around for seven minor league seasons in two organizations before finally making it impossible for a team to part with him after an impressive spring. He and Dean Anna provide flexibility and youth on the Yankees' bench, two qualities decidedly missing last year.
"We have a lot of talent, but you have to perform on the field," said Jeter, and he is right. "Everyone tries to have predictions of where they feel each team is going to finish every year, but you have to perform on the field."
Still, he added, "I like the guys that we have."
He probably wouldn't have said that at this time last year, and neither would you.
This year you can. And starting Tuesday, the Yankees have 162 games to prove they deserve it.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Nine veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan will be part of next year's freshman class in the House of Representatives.
Their numbers give veterans' groups assurance that Congress will still have important advocates in their corner.
But the overall number of veterans in Congress has been declining. For example, Congress in 1977 and 1978 had more than 400 veterans among its 535 members. About 100 veterans will serve next year in Congress.
Tom Tarantino is chief policy officer at Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans for America. He says the freshmen vets have wide-ranging political views, but their shared experiences can help overcome differences in dealing with issues like high unemployment rates among younger vets and access to education and disability benefits.

Thats like saying if I wrote I was actually born in 1900 it would be true. Always tho Ishmael was responsible for Islam but it makes sense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chromag osx fubars black chrome
These bars are so sick, 760 mm wide ad to incredible stability and power in the corners. It doesn't hurt that they look so dam sexy either. Love um.
Love these bars
Chromag makes some really sweet gear. The finish is awesome. My previous bars were 710mm, and I'm really digging the extra width of a 760mm bar.

These bars look and feel awesome!
These bars feel really solid. They replaced my sunline bars. the sunlines feel a bit more comfortable on long rides, but the chromag geometry feels better. Better control. Oh, and they look sick.

Rootkits are not new but they have emerged as new dangerous attacks recently, particularly against computers running one of the Microsoft Windows operating systems with new technology.It is now regularly in various infections.
what are rootkits?
A rootkit is a collection of programs that enable administrator-level access to a computer or computer network.
They will simply alter the table SSDT hook to redirect system calls to either the Windows API, but to their own API to distort the result.So when you want to list the running processes .. Windows will always look at the table SSDT but the address of the API was modified by the rootkit and points now to their code, the rootkit no longer refer to the process list .
A kernel mode rootkit is always composed of at least one driver. System in general, the driver is loaded via a service.The file driver is of course hidden in the disc and the service is not present in service.msc or via the registry regedit: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ System \ CurrentControlSet \ Services.Blue Pill is the codename for a controversial rootkit based on x86 virtualization technology that targets Microsoft's Windows Vista operating system.Blue Pill would be able to trap a running instance of the operating system into a virtual machine, and would then act as a hypervisor, with complete control of the computer
Here are some examples of current rootkits:
- User Rootkit - A variant of Zlob / Trojan.DNS which is a fairly common rootkit redirects when doing searches on Google
- Kernelmode Rootkit - Haxdoor / Goldun
- Kernelmode Rootkit - Email-Worm.Win32.Zhelatin.a / Rootkit.Agent.dh / Trojan.Peacomm hidden with driver: C: \ Windows \ System32 \ wincom32.sys
- Kernel-mode Rootkit - Rootkit.Win32.Agent.ea

Very easy to build your own intake. I got the 3" kit and my only complaint is the inner diameter is about 67mm (2.6") and outer diameter is 76mm (3.0") so the walls are very thick. On the plus side if you need to thread any fittings in there should be sufficient thickness.


text: Posted February 17, 2010 We've got arguably the single best one-two punch at RB in the league, and a very effective weapon in that. And yet a significant portion of the fanbase (if you consider this board representative) really seems to want to cut the power of that weapon in half. And please don't give me that we have enough depth to keep it going even with the loss of one of the top guys. There is no way anyone can reasonably suggest that any of the other combos (Williams-Goodson, Williams-Sutton, Stewart-Goodson, Stewart-Sutton) is anywhere even close to the quality of Williams-Stewart as a rushing tandem. There are other teams that have put all their eggs in a single basket with "workhorse" backs, and it's been rough. These days, even when healthy, neither Adrian Peterson nor LaDainian Tomlinson is what they once were, and the decline has been quick (almost sudden). One of the prime reasons for that is their being used as the "workhorse" for their team rather than as part of a 'two-headed monster' like the Panthers and some other teams prefer. Knowing that it tends to shorten the shelf-life of good runners, I can't understand why on earth people want us to switch to that model. As far as using a high pick on a RB, no matter how high you go you're still trading a proven commodity for an unproven one. Exactly. Williams says he is happy here and likes sharing the duty with Stewart. In our run happy offense we need two starting quality runners. Plus we drafted him as the 27th pick in the first round in 2006. Why in the world would we develop into a pro-bowler and then trade him for a 34th pick? His value has risen not fallen. Now if they want to give us their 1st round pick in this draft then maybe we consider although I wouldn't consider it unless they gave their first and second pick. Afterall with their track record, getting a probowler, should be worth at least a first rounder given how many they have wasted over the years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It seems today like many musicians tend to fall under the blanket term "folk" without really getting to the heart of the genre. Folk music is, by definition, a story-telling genre. It has history, heart and soul and that's the type of music that Ray Lamontagne produces. Folk artist Ray Lamontagne was born in Nashua, New Hampshire to a nomadic mother and abusive musician father who eventually abandoned the family. Having associated music to that violence, LaMontagne kept his distance from the music world during his childhood. His inspiration would come in the form of a Stephen Stills (of Crosby, Stills & Nash) song "Treetop Flyer" one morning while waking up to his shoe factory job in Maine. He decided to quit his job and become a singer-songwriter right then. Ray LaMontagne tickets would go on sale for various small tours throughout the country in 1999 and LaMontagne sent a demo tape to a handfull of venues. By word of mouth the musician was eventually signed to RCA records.
Ray Lamontagne's first studio album, Trouble, was recorded in two weeks in 2004. The album, and the following Ray Lamontagne tour, increased interest in the artist and Ray Lamontagne tickets went on sale for Austin City Limits and Bonnaroo that year. His second studio album, Till The Sun Turned Black, peaked at number 28 on the Billboard 200. Songs from the album were featured on the TV shows "One Tree Hill," "Law & Order Criminal Intent," and "Bones" and the movies "Away From Her" and "27 Dresses." His third album and most popular to date, Gossip in the Grain, debuted at number 3 on Billboard charts and launched a massive Ray Lamontagne tour in 2008 with Ray Lamontagne tickets selling out for most dates.
Ray LaMontagne's most recent effort, God Willin' & The Creek Don't Rise, was released in August 2010. According to LaMontagne "We cut it in a giant old barn on my property in Massachusetts that was built in 1811," LaMontagne says. "Every morning we had breakfast at a place called Elmer's in Ashfield and then drove a mile to the barn and stated working around 11:30 a.m. The band never heard the songs until the day we cut them, but we always got two songs a day." Sometimes it takes years for artists to produce albums, others just know how to successfully churn out magic. Experience the magic yourself with some cheap Ray LaMontagne tickets today!

Bringing the party to the Galen Center in Los Angeles, Pitbull performed with Christina Aguilera at the 26th Annual Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards tonight (March 23).
She's had her fair share of career drama, so it's no surprise that Christina Aguilera has a soft spot for Justin Bieber now that he's taken a beating in the media.
The "Genie in a Bottle" babe recently told press, "You live life and it's hard to grow up in front of a camera."
It's one of the most-loved talent shows of all time, and "The Voice" held a big shindig to kick off Season 4 last night (March 20) in Hollywood.
Christina Aguilera (she's on hiatus this time around) showed up at TCL Chinese Theatre to check out all the action, sporting a much more toned-down ensemble than usual.
She's taking some time off from her judging duties on "The Voice," and Christina Aguilera is a bit concerned that in her absence the male judges may get a bit unruly.
The "Ain't No Other Man" singer took to her Twitter account to put Blake Shelton and Adam Levine on notice that she'll be keeping a close eye on their behavior.
Having already hit #3 on the US ITunes chart, a music video for Pitbull and Christina Aguilera's "Feel This Moment" was released on Friday (March 15).
Featuring a re-created melody from A-Ha's "Take on Me," the video combines a plethora of performance shots with the "Dirty" songstress sporting a leather jacket and matching pants.
Celebrating the 2013 inductees, John Mayer, Christina Aguilera, and Jennifer Hudson will perform at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction.
The "Gravity" singer will perform in honor of Albert King with Gary Clark Jr., while Jennifer and Christina will honor Donna Summer.
After rocking their stunning red carpet ensembles for the photogs, the stars headed into Los Angeles' Nokia Theatre for the 39th Annual People's Choice Awards on Wednesday night (January 9).
The adorable Kaley Cuoco provided her hosting talents for the second year in a row, while the fan's favorites were revealed throughout the exciting evening.
She's never one to miss out on an exciting event, and earlier this evening (January 9) Christina Aguilera rolled up to the 2013 People's Choice Awards.
The "Ain't No Other Man" songbird showed off her ample curves in simple black pants and a white fitted blazer as she worked her mojo for the audience at the Nokia Theatre LA Live in Los Angeles.

When citizens, residents and visitors in Prince George's County need Police, Fire, EMS or Sheriff assistance, they call the professional men and women working in Prince George's County Public Safety Communications. The 9-1-1, dispatch and supervisory personnel working on the other end of the phone are the first point of contact during an emergency; responding quickly to assess the situation and determine the necessary public safety response.
As first responders, Public Safety Communications personnel are the first to offer assistance and the first to provide support, comfort, or sympathy to citizens in distress. They are highly trained, dedicated and trusted public servants that save lives every day. Public Safety Communications 9-1-1 and dispatch personnel professionally and efficiently processed more than 1,400,000 calls for service in 2014.
Public Safety Communications is an internationally accredited public safety agency staffed with 200 civilian personnel working together as 9-1-1 call takers, law enforcement and fire/EMS dispatchers, trainers, supervisors, FOIA/MPIA processors, administrators, managers, technical staff and radio communication specialists.
The Public Safety Communications 9-1-1 Center is a state of the art facility with advanced 9-1-1 dispatch training programs, sophisticated technology to receive and process emergency calls, and an interoperable radio system to communicate with first responders. Since the opening of the Primary Public Safety Communications facility in 2011, the County has hosted more than 1,000 tours from customers all over the USA as well as from over 25 different countries.In March 2012, the National Academy of Emergency Dispatch (NAED) designated Prince George's County Public Safety Communications 9-1-1 Center a Triple Accredited Center of Excellence (Tri-ACE). To achieve this, the highest distinction the Academy can bestow, this center achieved and maintained all of the Academy's standards of excellence for an Emergency Medical Dispatch, Emergency Police Dispatch and Emergency Fire Dispatch Communications center. In August 2015, Prince George's County Public Safety Communications was re-accredited for another three year period. https://www.emergencydispatch.org/AccredCurrentAces.
Upon re-accreditation in August 2015, Prince George's County was only the sixth jurisdiction in the world, and the fifth in the United States, to meet NAED's rigorous accreditation criteria and to receive this prestigious recognition. Triple accreditation tells our public safety partners and the citizens that the Public Safety Communications dispatch and 9-1-1 personnel are properly trained, effective, and efficient in providing assistance to citizens in need of Police, Fire and Emergency Medical Services.
The Accreditation process does not end after accreditation is achieved. The agency must continue to maintain and demonstrate proof that compliance with NAED standards is maintained on an on-going basis.
Through the dedication to excellence, leadership and professionalism of the personnel serving our citizens, Public Safety Communications is one of the top 9-1-1 centers in the world. Most importantly, it is able to provide the highest level of service to Prince George's County's citizens and first responders.
"Public Safety Communications is committed to Caring for Prince George's County ~ One Call at a Time."

This report reviews the coordination efforts involved in foreign counterintelligence investigations where the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act has been or may be employed. The act established (1) requirements and a process for seeking electronic surveillance and physical search authority in national security investigations seeking foreign intelligence and counterintelligence information within the United States and (2) the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, which has jurisdiction to hear applications for and grant orders approving Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act surveillance and searches. GAO found that coordination between the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Department of Justice's (DOJ) Criminal Division has been limited in those foreign counterintelligence cases in which criminal activity is indicated and surveillance and searches have been, or may be, employed. A key factor inhibiting this coordination is the concern over how the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court or another federal court might rule on the primary purpose of the surveillance or search in light of such coordination. In addition, the FBI and the Criminal Division differ on the interpretations of DOJ's 1995 procedures concerning counterintelligence investigations. In January 2000, the Attorney General issued additional procedures to address these coordination concerns. These procedures, among other things, required the FBI to submit case summaries to the Criminal Division and established a protocol for briefing Criminal Division officials about those investigations. In addition, the FBI established two mechanisms to ensure compliance with the Attorney General's 1995 procedures. These mechanisms include (1) requiring the Office of Intelligence Policy and Review to notify the FBI and the Criminal Division of investigations it believes meets the requirements of the 1995 procedures and (2) establishing a core group of high-level officials to oversee coordination issues. However, these efforts have not been institutionalized in management directives or written administrative policies or procedures.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In an August 6, 2001 memorandum, the Deputy Attorney General outlined the responsibilities of the FBI, Criminal Division, and OIPR, regarding intelligence sharing in FISA cases, and issued clarifications to the Attorney General's 1995 coordination procedures. Specifically, these clarifications included defining "significant federal crime" to mean any federal felony, and defining the term "reasonable indication" to be substantially lower than "probable cause." The memorandum also requires notification to take place without delay. In addition, on November 18, 2002, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court of Review, overturning an earlier FISA Court action, approved the Intelligence Sharing Procedures issued by the Attorney General in March of 2002. The March memorandum provides guidance regarding the type of advice that the Criminal Division (CD) may provide the FBI after the CD has been notified of a possible criminal matter. A December 24, 2002 memo addressed to the Criminal Division, OIPR, all U.S. Attorneys, all anti-terrorism task force coordinators, and all FBI special agents, was to transmit the contents of the FIS Court of Review and the Attorney General's memorandum. These actions close GAO's recommendation regarding FISA and coordination and sharing of information between the FBI and the Criminal Division on related intelligence matters.
Recommendation: To facilitate better coordination of FBI foreign counterintelligence investigations meeting the Attorney General's coordination criteria, the Attorney General should establish a policy and guidance clarifying his expectations regarding the FBI's notification of the Criminal Division and types of advice that the Division should be allowed to provide the FBI in foreign counterintelligence investigations in which the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) tools are being used or their use anticipated.
Agency Affected: Department of Justice
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In an August 6, 2001 memorandum, the Deputy Attorney General directed the FBI to explicitly devote a section in its foreign counterintelligence case summary memorandums, which it sends to OIPR in connection with an initial FISA request or renewal, identification of any possible federal criminal violations associated with the case. OIPR is to make those memorandums available to the Criminal Division. The memorandum also required that when the notification standard is met, notification should be accomplished without delay.
Recommendation: To improve coordination between the FBI and the Criminal Division by ensuring that investigations that indicate a criminal violation are clearly identified and by institutionalizing mechanisms to ensure greater coordination, the Attorney General should direct that all FBI memorandums sent to the Office of Intelligence Policy and Review (OIPR) summarizing investigations or seeking FISA renewals contain a section devoted explicitly to identifying any possible federal criminal violation meeting the Attorney General's coordination criteria, and that those memorandums of investigations meeting the criteria for Criminal Division notification be timely coordinated with the Division.
Agency Affected: Department of Justice
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In a July 18, 2001 memorandum to the Deputy Attorney General, the Assistant Director of the FBI's Inspection Division stated that the Division has established a Foreign Intelligence/Counterintelligence Audit that is to be completed during its on-site inspections at applicable FBI headquarters units and field offices. The Audit, according to the Assistant Director, will determine whether significant criminal activity was indicated during intelligence investigations and, where such activity was identified, determine whether it was properly coordinated with FBI headquarters and Justice's Criminal Division.
Recommendation: To improve coordination between the FBI and the Criminal Division by ensuring that investigations that indicate a criminal violation are clearly identified and by institutionalizing mechanisms to ensure greater coordination, the Attorney General should direct the FBI Inspection Division, during its periodic inspections of foreign counterintelligence investigations at field offices, to review compliance with the requirement for case summary memorandums sent OIPR to specifically address the identification of possible criminal violations. Moreover, where field office case summary memorandums identified reportable instances of possible federal crimes, the Inspection Division should assess whether the appropriate headquarters unit properly coordinated with the Criminal Division those foreign counterintelligence investigations.
Agency Affected: Department of Justice
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: On June 12, 2001, OIPR issued policy guidance to its staff on compliance with the Attorney General's 1995 coordination procedures. The issuance of this policy partially implements the GAO recommendation. Later on August 6, 2001, the Deputy Attorney General issued a memorandum to the Criminal Division, the FBI, and OIPR establishing the roles and responsibilities of the Core Group to resolve disputes arising from the Attorney General's 1995 guidelines.
Recommendation: To improve coordination between the FBI and the Criminal Division by ensuring that investigations that indicate a criminal violation are clearly identified and by institutionalizing mechanisms to ensure greater coordination, the Attorney General should issue written policies and procedures establishing the roles and responsibilities of OIPR and the core group as mechanisms for ensuring compliance with the Attorney General's coordination procedures.

When I finished graduate school in 2000, earning a Ph.D., I really felt that this would help to solidify job security and begin the journey to greater economic stability and growth. I knew that this shiny new tool would not be a one size fits all solution but it would certainly help a great deal. What I also had working for me was that my sense of self-empowerment had really gotten a boost from the challenges associated with pursuing and completing a doctoral program, from the financial burdens to significant levels of social isolation, which are often experienced when writing the dissertation. Even with this new sack of knowledge, I made the commitment to be a life-long learner and forged my way back into the world of work.
I knew that full-time academia was not for me, which is the route that many with terminal degrees pursue. I also knew that I wanted to be more autonomous than just working a nine to five. But, I was raised to go to school, get good grades, so that I could get a good job, which would increase my chances of gaining access to the American Dream, which is reliable job security, a home and a decent life, right?
What happened in the ensuing years were several jobs that came and went but no real momentum. Most of the work that I found did not require a Ph.D. with the exception of the adjunct positions that I have held. The truth was I was not getting a real return on the investment of an advanced degree. This was compounded by several layoffs during this period which broke my economic momentum. Given a choice of making a six-figure salary sporadically, compared to making $45,000 consistently, one quickly sees that economic growth is not possible without a steady paycheck. What began to happen was being in a position of feast or famine. On recovery from a layoff in 2003, I found work in the spring of 2004 and I remained in and advanced in the position until the end of 2006. During that time, I purchased my first home. This was supposed to be the culmination of the American Dream, or was it? In hindsight, the timing of my purchase was during the height of a real estate bubble that was absolutely in favor of sellers.
From 2003 to 2007, escalation clauses were a common feature of bids to purchase homes. So, if a home cost $250,000, a potential buyer might offer $269,000. It was also a time of interest only loans, with adjustable rate mortgages (ARMs), meaning that a buyer only had to pay interest and not principle. This typically lasted for five years which was followed by a sonic boom when principle and interest merged into one big and often unmanageable mortgage payment. As horrible as this has been for millions of homeowners around the country, another, more ominous storm has settled over the American landscape. Job security has become a thing of the past. It doesn't matter what you do, how competent you are, how long you've done it, or your level of education. These attributes are being dwarfed by increasing numbers of layoffs, cutbacks, downsizings, mergers and outsourcing to other countries. My decision to buy a home was driven, principally, to get greater economic footing, or so I thought…
I closed on my first home on September 30, 2005. I remember the day vividly. About two or three days before closing, I had a constant headache… the stress of it all, I suppose. Once all of the documents were signed, I remember going to my new home, walking up to my new master bedroom and falling asleep on the carpet. It was a triumphant moment. Now, it was time to start paying for it!
My days would begin at 3:30 a.m. I lived an hour from Washington, DC by car, with no traffic, which is where I worked. I took a commuter train to the city, started the work day at 7:00 a.m., finished it at 3:30 p.m., and got back home around 6:30 p.m. That left three to four hours to eat, try to relax and prepare for the next day. It's amazing how quickly your personal time flies during the week. By the end of the week, I was exhausted. And on weekends, I attempted to catch up on all of the things that I could not do during the week because I was, of course, going to work, at work, or coming home from work. I was making a decent salary but my quality of living was beginning to suffer. I had little time for anything else but work. On a particularly cold morning in February 2006, I recall the following:
The temperature was about 20 degrees with a 10 degree wind chill. I was up and functioning at my usual 3:30 a.m. to prepare for another work day. I would typically catch the bus to the MARC commuter train station but the previous week had been especially cold, not atypical for the second month of the year. As I looked at the news and weather, it was clear that I was not going to walk to the bus stop so I got in my car and drove the 10 minutes to the train station. Fortunately, the traffic was fairly light. But, in the age of greater traffic unpredictability and congestion, you never know what you might encounter.
On this day, I was early enough to ward off that creeping feeling of stress of another day of work by just being able to be still, if just for a few moments. I sat in my car wondering what the day would bring as I listened to music that was turned down low. As I wondered, I began to notice people hurriedly walking to the train platform. It was rather cold but what struck me was that each person seemed to be walking the same. It was as if they were not in full control of their bodies but were being compelled, by some force, to walk to the same place. Even more curious was that each person, men and women, seemed to walk with the gait of the emperor penguin, a rather large species of this bird that moves from left to right as it steps forward. I found the moment to be rather humorous and then I returned to my thoughts about the day. A minute or so later I heard the train whistle and prepared to bundle up. I got out of my car, locked it and quickly walked to the exact spot on the train platform to ensure that I got my favorite seat. I sat down, opened my book to the last page that I had read, the train slowly pulled out of the station and then, it hit me… I, too, was one of the people that looked like an emperor penguin!! That's when it stopped being funny.
As the train made the hour and forty-five minute journey to the Nation's Capital, a heaviness settled on me that I fully understood but I did not want to accept. After working since I was 16, the only thing I really had to show for this length of time was that I had worked nearly thirty years. I went to school, I got good grades so that I could get a good education, so that I could get a good job and have access to the "American Dream." I was firmly entrenched in the nine to five world of work, which was getting me nowhere. The sobering irony was that with the highest degree that can be earned, I was experiencing the worst job instability of my entire life…
The lack of consistent work is a major source of economic stress for millions of Americans which is compounded by long commutes, increased work demands, toxic work environments, reduced pay and benefits and perhaps worst of all, no options for other employment opportunities. This kind of instability does several things. First, it disrupts the flow of income and/or any momentum that a person or family needs to live, not merely survive. Second, it could cause one to second guess their abilities and competence in the work place because fear and doubt may have intruded. Third is the revelation that a requisite for economic stability in the 21st century is generating multiple streams of income rather than just one, which is what baby boomers i.e., those born between 1946 and 1964, especially, have come to know. Fourth is understanding that your training, education and what you do for a living represent some of the tools in your toolbox but not all of them. What is your passion? What grand idea have you put off because you created the "story" that it is unrealistic or there is no time in your day to pursue it? What would you do for free to help others? What brings you joy? These are the kinds of questions that experiencing economic stress can force you to answer, which is a great thing.
You may have always known that your true calling is beyond the confines of a cubicle, an office or one location. It could be that your passions take you to a variety of settings, interacting with a variety of people, from different walks of life, cultures, experiences and professions. What you may need to consider is whether the life that you have prepared for is the life that you believe, deep in your soul, you should be living. If the two don't match, you have the power to make a change but the choice, as always, remains yours. Choose well and stay tuned for more on economic stress.
Dr. Robert Brown

Blurred lines: How people's lives have become an online and offline experience
She said it's impossible to be completely in the digital space, since a person's physical body will remain in the lived reality. Conversely, a person can live mostly in the "lived reality," like if they "lived in a cabin the woods," Juhasz said.
"Mostly we're in the blended experience," she said.
An example of the blended experience is seen when people quickly check their smartphone when they need quick information or directions, Juhasz said. A 2012 Google study showed 90 percent of people use multiple screens and devices at once to accomplish different tasks. For example, when watching TV, 75 percent of people are accessing media through another device, like a smartphone, the study said.
But living in a blended reality has its downsides, Juhasz said. The moments "when we can contemplate, think and deal with nature are less and less common," she said. "We're in a new form of human experience."
Rutledge said learning how to use the Internet is comparable to learning to drive a car. "Once you're on the Internet, it's a public space," she said. People should be cautious about what they put online and who they share their online worlds with, Rutledge said. Understanding what can happen in the digital world will help you better in the lived reality, she said.
"We need to make sure people understand what it means to be a good digital citizen," Rutledge said.
Many youngsters are learning how to be "digital citizens," Rutledge said. She said parents try to teach their kids about the Internet and allow them to use it because many of the tools available online are for creating things. "And kids love to make things," Rutledge said.
Most teens and young people are using the Internet for social media, according to Pew, which reported in a 2011 survey that 80 percent of those ages 12 to 17 use the Internet for social media.
But the heavy amount of social media use brings about another problem, Hains said.
"I think where I have the greatest concern about the blurring between online and offline is bullying in schools," she said.
She said if a student was bullied in school, "the bullying stayed at school and the home was a haven." But now bullying has migrated into the digital world, and it's something few teachers and educators can do anything about, Hains said.
"We haven't, as a society, caught up to that yet," she said.
Technology evolving now
Hains said dealing with the long-term effects of technology's growth is the next step for society. She said people will eventually have to understand that the talks, arguments and moments they have online will have an impact on their everyday life. Your offline and online lives affect each other simultaneously, she said.
"We reached the next stage in our communications evolution," Hains said.
And there's no going back, Juhasz said. Products we buy — like coats, cars and comestibles — will soon have digital information, she said. This is already happening by Google developing cars that drive themselves, as the computers inside the vehicle can speak to each other and don't need human help, Juhasz said.
"That's not even the future," she said. "That's now."
But not everyone will be accepting of these changes.
"You might see a backlash from people looking to completely unplug," Juhasz said. She said that many of these "changes in our culture [are] changes about what it means to be human. We shouldn't just accept these changes: we need to think critically about them."

To the editor:
I have read with interest recent articles that state that Franklin will take over the maintenance of State Road 44 from U.S. 31 to Interstate 65 from the State of Indiana and how unfriendly streets are to pedestrians.
Who will be responsible for redesigning Jefferson Street when Franklin takes over the maintenance of the roadway? I hope that the same people who created the Main Street debacle will have no input in the project. The way that the wide beautiful boulevard entrance into our downtown was changed into an alley-like maze where a driver has to constantly watch for shifting lanes, narrowing lanes and odd places is dangerous to smooth flowing traffic.
Main Street south of the square has the same problem, especially during the Youngs Creek bridge. Will the final phase of North Main Street be the same disgrace to our growing city and the need for streets to be automobile friendly? Streets are for cars, not pedestrians. By the way, danger to pedestrians is heightened when automobiles are constantly changing direction to avoid traffic.
After the State Road 44 takeover, will the curb intrusion at the corner of Jackson and Jefferson be removed for driver safety? Will the existing lanes be aligned along the roadway so that the current narrowings at the railroad crossing, the bridges, etc., be eliminated. One look at Edinburgh's downtown shows the wisdom of their street planners in designing wide roadways.
Will the takeover of State Road 44 through Franklin allow the possibility of making King Street and Jefferson Street one-way routes through downtown. This could be a way to allow traffic to have an easier way to traverse our growing city. Truck commerce is more financially valuable to all taxpayers than having some cute storefronts, which benefits only the special interests of the owners of the business. This is a form of public welfare.
By the way, money spent on fixing the facades of downtown buildings should be used for taxpayer purposes, such as roads, etc., not to reward the owners of historic treasures who neglected them. They should be fined, not rewarded.
