Got up at 4:40 to blow the driveway for the Mrs. She's been gone for an hour and still hasn't made it to work. Mine is closed, as everything should be. I won't accomplish anything useful. Good day to dust off a couple BluRays.
I woke up at 4 with a migraine, checked email, nothing. checked just now, snow day!
I live an apartment and my car would get stuck, my workplace opens at 7 and tried calling and no answer, figures
I'm probably going in to work on a floor plan, but I might just bring it home and do it here.
Have to clear snow. The joys of being a landscaper in the winter.

I wouldn't suggest it. I have a coworker (I work in Ames) who lives in Huxley, she tried and didn't make it in.
I'm actually home because our daycare provider's son is sick. I'm trying to work from home, but that won't be very effective if my husband goes in to work later.

So... sit on CF all day?
at work. CR only got 5 inches overnight and schools still canceled. Schools should no be able to cancel that far in advance.
I'm gonna go ski in the four feet of snow that has fallen in the last 10 days.
Oh..wait...I have the day off anyway and get to ski everyday. Carry on. Though I am intrigued by the Thundersnow I've been hearing about.

How to Grow Grass in Full Shade
Growing grass in shady areas does not need to be as hard as nature might make it seem to be.

1Eradicate all weeds. Weeds growing in shade were bred to do just that. Grass was not intended to grow in shade. The weeds will win every time.
2Aerate your lawn every fall. Early fall is best.
3Overseed immediately following aeration.
4Water and wait until next spring.
5Depending upon the state of your lawn and the degree of shade you have, repeat as necessary.
- For moderate shade, one year of the above should do the trick.
- It's an annual event but one that will yield results every time.

Wildcats top NIT tourney
By LUKE MEREDITH
AP Sports Writer
This season, Kentucky is headlining another tournament.
The Wildcats, last season's national champion, will have to settle for trying to win the NIT.
The Wildcats aren't the only SEC team snubbed by the NCAA tournament selection committee.
Alabama and Tennessee also missed the cut, marking the first time in 39 years that the Wildcats, Crimson Tide and Volunteers were left out of the same NCAA tournament.
The Wildcats (21-11) and Crimson Tide (21-12) are No. 1 seeds in the NIT, along with Southern Mississippi and Virginia.
The Wildcats, who struggled to live up to lofty preseason expectations, went 4-4 in their final eight games without freshman star Nerlens Noel, who had his season ended early with a knee injury that required surgery.
Kentucky, which played in the last two Final Fours under fourth-year coach John Calipari, becomes the 20th defending national champion to be left out of the NCAA tournament field and first since North Carolina in 2010.
The Wildcats will play at eighth-seeded Robert Morris on Tuesday because Rupp Arena is unavailable to the Wildcats. The second and third round of the NCAA tournament is being played in Lexington.
Alabama was likely done in by late road losses at Florida and Ole Miss — which made a surprising run to the SEC tournament title. The Tide beat Tennessee in the conference tournament but lost a rematch with the Gators on a neutral court.
"We felt like we needed to play our way in and we weren't fortunate enough to do that. We're thankful to have a chance to participate in the postseason," Alabama coach Anthony Grant said.
Southern Miss (25-9) lost in double overtime to Memphis in the Conference USA title game with an NCAA bid on the line. The Golden Eagles will host Charleston Southern on Wednesday.
"We believe we should have been in the NCAA tournament, especially when you see some of the other teams that got in," Southern Miss coach Donnie Tyndall said. "But there's still opportunity for us and I believe we'll bounce back."
Virginia (21-11), which was blown out by North Carolina State in the ACC tournament quarterfinals, hosts Norfolk State on Tuesday.
Tennessee (20-12) is a No. 2 seed and hosts Mercer on Wednesday.
Maryland, Baylor and Massachusetts are also No. 2 seeds, with the Minutemen in line to host third-seeded Iowa if both teams advance.
"It's definitely a good thing for us to be able to continue playing. That's always an honor and a blessing," Iowa junior Devyn Marble said. "We're looking forward to it and making sure we stay focused and take care of business. We're going to come in with the same focus and mindset we'd have if they were a Big Ten team."
Florida State will face Louisiana Tech on Tuesday, and Saint Joseph's will host St. John's in an intriguing matchup in Philadelphia.

No it's not sensible of Bernie. And no Vettel did not 'race' Webber. Mark was ordered to turn his engine down and so lost his 4 sec. lead over Vettel. Webber was in fuel/tyre saving mode when Vettel attacked. Vettel knew this, so that is not racing and is underhand. The cars should not be in fuel/tyre saving mode, the regulations need to ban this and then the teams would be able to go for it, but would need to stop for an extra set of tyres, so more chance of action all round. Come on FIA show some backbone!!!

Thanks Jeff for the reply. Our situation has worsened. On Friday the oncologist called and told us it was really bad that it was in many many lymph nodes. Lymph nodes surrounding the vena cava, the abdomen, the liver, the stomach pretty much in the lymphatic system. They are having us see another oncologist at the Markey Cancer Center here in Lexington. They basically said they can either switch to about 3 types of chemo to use together which is very strong and will probably make him really sick or we can focus on quality and pain management. We are waiting to here when we see this doctor. My stepdad is very faiothful and says he will not give up. He has an incredible attitude. I hope for the best and know that God can perform miracles. I have seen a lot of those on this site. Any help or suggestions from experiences would be greatly appreciated. God Bless

Topic: New member (3 replies, posted in Introductions!)
Hi my name is Sherri and my step father was diagnosed with CC back in October which they actually removed 60% of his liver and 2 lymph nodes and told us they removed all signs of cancer. They put him on chemo 1 time weekly for 3 weeks and then off one just for a preventative. About 5 weeks ago they did a CT scan and it showed 3 lymph nodes that were inflamed and thought it could just be inflammation from the surgery and wanted to continure with the chemo and repeat the scan in a few weeks. They have now said that his cancer has recurred and they need to change his chemo. He was suppose to have a treatment today and they didn't give him one. I don't really know what is going on and am really confused. I lost my dad, father n law, sisiter n law, and grandmother and I don't think my mom can handle losing someone again. You have to understand my step dad was very outgoing, active loves playing golf. He just got sick all at once. Lost about 40 lbs. couldn't eat and his side hurt. We went to his family doc and they said there was something definitely going on with the liver mabe an infection. They ran so many tests and then the oncologist basically said he had cancer of an unknown origin that had spread to his liver and probably only had a few months to live. He did send us to a surgeon t look at the situation adn then after more tests they found the tumor was attached to the vena cava and sent us on to another doc in Louisville, KY who had come from Sloan Kettering. He did a pet and Ct scan and said the cancer was liver cancer and was contained and he could remove it. He sent him home for a few weeks to basically get a little stonger and gain a few pounds. He had the surgery the first of Oct and it went really well up until now. We haven't seen his surgeon yet just the doc who first told us it was inoperable and only a few months to live. We don'know what stage or anything that is going on? I am just really confused and feel really helpless. If anyone has any direction or adivse it would be greatly appreciated.

In the Panthers, the Seahawks face a team that also placed its hopes on a rookie quarterback.
RENTON — The Seahawks didn't just commit to a player when coach Pete Carroll named Russell Wilson the starting quarterback.
They committed to a process that will include the peaks and valleys that come with someone learning on the job. Just ask Carolina coach Ron Rivera, who went with Cam Newton when he was a rookie a year ago.
"A lot of highs and a lot of lows, that's for doggone sure," Rivera said.

Most Read Stories
There is no formula for this process, no manual that spells out the care of a rookie quarterback. There's a lot of hope involved, some patience required, and resilience is an absolute must.
"In this league, you're going to have success, you're going to have downfalls," Newton said. "But on those downfalls, you have to treat it like a speed bump and not a roadblock."
Carolina committed itself to ride that roller coaster last year when it drafted Newton No. 1 overall. The Panthers were starting over with a new coach in Rivera, and in turning over the offense to Newton, the team essentially said it was going to go as far as the quarterback could take it.
He passed for more than 4,000 yards last season, rushed for 14 touchdowns, and one-quarter of the way through his second season, he's on pace to pretty much match his Rookie of the Year numbers.
The Panthers are 7-13 with Newton as the starter, which is progress considering the team won two games the year before he arrived.
In Carolina, the quarterback was the starting point of a rebuild. In Seattle, it is more of a finishing touch. The Seahawks are not rebuilding; they are rebuilt with a steel-toed defense and the league's leading rusher in Marshawn Lynch.
That reality has simultaneously lessened the pressure on Wilson in terms of his production and increased the public scrutiny on his performance.
Wilson doesn't need to put up numbers like Newton in order for the Seahawks to win. Seattle attempted a league-low 100 passes in the first four games, as the team tries to lessen the load on its quarterback by playing to its strength on the ground, playing stout defense and trying to hold the edge in special teams.
These Seahawks look ready to contend right now if they get even average play at quarterback, which has added some urgency to the appraisals of Wilson's performance.
"I think there's enormous pressure on our quarterback, yeah," Carroll said. "I really think there is. I think he's a great kid to handle it."
Matt Flynn is on hand as a viable alternative, and the fact that most expected him to become the starter after signing as a free agent from Green Bay has only complicated the discussion and dissection of Wilson's play.
That's the kind of scrutiny that comes with being one of 32 players starting at quarterback for an NFL team.
"That's something that you just sign up for," Newton said. "You get all the great recognition when your team is winning, and you get all the recognition when your team is losing, also. You just have to have thick skin and roll with the punches."
• Cornerback Marcus Trufant sat out Wednesday's practice with a sore back.
"We'll see how that goes and progresses during the week," Carroll said.
Trufant missed games in 2009 and 2011 because of a back injury.
• G John Moffitt has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Carolina because of a knee injury. He did not play last week in St. Louis, either.

New deficit plan still eyes Social Security trims
WASHINGTON The co-chairmen of President Barack Obama's deficit commission are sticking with politically explosive proposals to raise the Social Security retirement age and curb benefit increases in a revised plan to wrestle the deficit under control.
The new plan by Erskine Bowles and Alan Simpson, to be publicly unveiled Wednesday, faces an uphill slog because of proposals to curb Social Security and Medicare costs, curtail a huge assortment of tax breaks like the deduction for mortgage interest and almost double the federal tax on a gallon of gas.
Though the ban appears unlikely to win enough bipartisan support from the panel to be approved, Bowles declared victory on Tuesday, saying that he and Simpson have at least succeeded in initiating an "adult conversation" about the political pain it will take to cut the deficit.
Bowles acknowledged the plan faces resistance from the 18 deficit commission members. Obama named the commission in hopes of bringing a deficit-fighting plan up for a vote in Congress this year, but it appears to be falling well short of the 14-vote bipartisan supermajority needed.
A new version of the plan, obtained by The Associated Press, makes mostly minor changes to a draft that whipped up enormous controversy when unveiled earlier this month. Some domestic spending cuts are modestly higher than previously proposed, and health care savings from overhauling the medical malpractice system would reap less than proposed earlier this month.
Unlike their original proposal, Bowles and Simpson stop short of calling for caps on medical malpractice awards. Instead they recommend changes in how awards are made.
But other proposals remain the same. Among them are a gradual increase in the Social Security retirement age to 68 by 2050 and 69 by 2075, using a less generous cost-of-living adjustment for the programs and increasing the cap on income subject to Social Security taxes.
The plan also retains a 15-cents-per-gallon increase on gasoline, a three-year freeze on federal worker pay and cutting 200,000 workers from the federal payroll through attrition.
The proposal obtained by the Associated Press was a draft that was still undergoing changes Tuesday evening.
Other recommendations:
- Eliminate congressional pet spending projects, known as "earmarks."
- Reduce the corporate income tax rate to 28 percent from 35 percent, and stop taxing the overseas profits of U.S.-based multinational corporations.
- Overhaul individual income taxes and corporate taxes. Gives Congress the choice of reducing the top rate to as low as 23 percent and no higher than 29 percent. The lower the rate, the fewer the tax credits and deductions available to taxpayers.
Under one scenario proposed by Bowles and Simpson, taxpayers would face three tax brackets of 12 percent, 21 percent and 28 percent. Taxpayers would still be able to claim an earned income tax credit and child tax credit as well as all standard deductions and exemptions. Capital gains and dividends would be taxed at ordinary income tax rates. Taxpayers could claim a mortgage interest deduction up to $500,000 and only on their primary residence.
If Congress does not undertake a comprehensive overhaul of the tax system by 2013, the plan calls for a "fail-safe" provision that would trigger across-the-board reductions in tax breaks, designed to raise revenue by $80 billion in 2015 and $180 billion in 2020.
Bowles was White House chief of staff when former President Bill Clinton negotiated a balanced budget plan in 1997; Simpson is a former GOP senator from Wyoming,
Only Bowles and Simpson are guaranteed to support the plan when the panel votes. None of the 12 House members and senators named by Obama have committed to the proposals, though Bowles and Simpson could pick up support from nonelected deficit hawks - like Democrat Alice Rivlin - who won't have to defend themselves to voters.

Canon IP4000 duplex problem (with text)
I've come across a strange problem with my IP4000:
When I print plain text using only one side of the paper it uses the text black cartridge and I get fast printing, near lazer quality.
When I print the same thing using both sides of paper (duplex option switched on), it uses the photo black and I get slow printing, pale & fuzzy quality.
I have the 1.8 drivers, plain paper and text setting selected.
Does anyone else get the same thing?
Regards, El

Re: Canon IP4000 duplex problem (with text)
I found the answer to my problem on the Canon site.
It seems that this is a 'feature' of duplex printing. Less black ink is used to prevent the ink from rubbing onto internal components.
Makes the duplex option kinda useless. Wished they had said that on the box.

Skip to comments.LA Times prove me wrong! (Sources tell me on the tape Obama said, "Israel has no right to exist")
Posted on 10/29/2008 2:07:10 PM PDT by prolifefirst
Does anybody else have sources about what is on that tape that the LA Times might want to try and disprove?
And this is precisely what the McCain campaign should be saying!! Make the TIMES show the tape in order to disprove McCains contention. Will he do it? Don't be silly. Why miss the chance to miss another golden opportunity to win the election! Besides...it wouldn't be bipartisan!
"Why miss the chance to miss another golden opportunity to win the election! Besides...it wouldnt be bipartisan"!
...lately, I've been impressed with McCain. He's been coming out swingin' and I DON'T think it's too late!
He has found out they are scoundrels and liars.
No wonder the Times refuses to release it.
As much as I think Obama may believe that, I doubt he actually said it.
I agree. A statement like that is just too darn outrageous for any politician (not matter how stupid) to say in public.
LOL> RIGHT! Look, if Hussein says "Israel has no right to exist" on that tape, and the L.A. Slimes (or ANYONE ELSE WITH THAT TAPE) refuses to release it, Hussein—elected President or not—will be political toast.
Don't post that unless your serious, my FRiend. Who are these "sources", or are you just pulling our leg?
-Watch what you say dickless.
-Is this true?
-Yes . . . he has no dick.
That's some Twinkie.
My sources tell me the tape shows Obama praising the 9-11 hijackers. I hope that isn't true.
The LA Times really should release the tape to clear all this up.
Heck....My sources say that Obama had a love affair with those two morons in West Hollywood who hung Sarah Palin in effigy.
Release the tapes and clear this up.
I KNEW you all were talking about me on these threads!!
The ADL has recently written letter to the LA Times:
Condemning Hateful Remarks (LA Times):
Letters to the Editor
Los Angeles Times
|October 16, 2008
To the Editor:
The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) has a long history of condemning hateful remarks, or acts, against any group whether due to race, religion, ethnicity or sexual orientation...
...ADL is non-partisan and does not endorse or oppose candidates for office. However, we do speak out on issues raised by campaigns. Just this week, ADL appealed to the presidential candidates of both major parties to reject "divisive character defamation and scurrilous personal attacks." ADL's letter urged the candidates, and their campaigns, "to be sensitive to the potential impact of harsh, personal attacks including unfounded accusations designed to foment doubts about an opponent's morality or patriotism."
What is not unfounded is that Obama never asnwered the question presented in the debate:
If all available options and diplomacies failed & Iran attacked Israel, would we respond without the UN's approval?
I thought that was the ball breaker of the debate, but not one media head remarked on that.
My always correct sources tell me that he said "Israel should have been created in Europe somewhere or in America...that it never should have been carved out of appropriated Arab lands. And that the Jewish presence in the ME is something that needs to be remedied "
You can take it to the bank.
I heard it was actually Larry Sinclair dressed in drag that night with Barack and it wasn't really Michelle...and I guess it is pretty obvious when you see the video.
The tape definitely shows Larry Sinclair and white powder under Obama's nose, but I think John wants us to stick with the issues so I only thought it was fair to bring up the business about Obama saying it wouldn't be such a bad thing if Iran sent one of their new nuclear bombs to Jerusalem.
Or so my reliable sources tell me.
If Hussein really said that on tape,,,it would be DEVASTATING!!
No wonder the Times refuses to release it."
There is a fairly large Jewish population in Los Angeles, and it's surrounds.
The Times apparently isn't serving their populace very well, is it?
But then- it hasn't done that for years.
I sure don't miss Los Angeles.
My always correct sources tell me that he said Israel should have been created in Europe somewhere or in America...that it never should have been carved out of appropriated Arab lands. And that the Jewish presence in the ME is something that needs to be remedied
You can take it to the bank.""
Funny how many people whose parents were barely born when Israel was founded are such experts on what should or should not have been done in another time and place?????
Nobama is a fool. I don't care what kind of "education" he thinks he has.
The person in orange certainly doesn't have a bustline, does it???
I doubt the LAT can afford to lose any advertisers since they are probably laying off people to stay alive. This might be the only way to get them to release the tape.

Since our founding in 2009, Western PAC has been a leader in the effort to return control of America back to the people as was intended by our Founding Fathers. We saw how our liberties and freedoms were slowly being eroded by a cast system of crony politicians who campaign on conservative principles and representation of their constituents but vote the will of their masters on K Street.
We knew that the job would not be easy or happen overnight. Our funding has never come from billionaires or special interest groups, many of which have funded groups that make the appearance of protecting the "little people" but are in reality, front groups to push their own agenda or generate profits for their founders.
The America we grew up in is in grave danger of being lost as our elected officials sell us out to the highest bidder. The idea that we have our representatives passing legislation that effects our nation without even reading it should make alarm bells go of in the head of every American. It is up to us to sound the alarm for those who have stopped paying attention.
Each of us individually is limited to what we can do to fight back. Together, we are a voice that cannot be silenced. Join the fight and make freedom ring once again.

Verizon Details How It Spied On Its Customers In 2013
While Edward Snowden's legacy has already been felt in official, government circle most recently with Obama's amusing, if completely meaningless, theatrical reformation of the NSA (so wait, the Utah's superstasi spy center is now closed, right?), it is now the private sector's turn. Moments ago, Verizon - in what is hopefully the first such action of many - provided an extensive "Transparency Report" in which it disclosed the "number of subpoenas, orders, and warrants we received from law enforcement in the United States last year. We also received emergency requests and National Security Letters. The vast majority of these various types of demands relate to our consumer customers; we receive relatively few demands regarding our enterprise customers." So regular retail customers are being actively spied on, but corporations are safe. Good to know.
And now, time for the AT&T to do the same:
* * *
The full transparency report:
U.S. Data
In 2013, Verizon received approximately 320,000 requests for customer information from federal, state or local law enforcement in the United States. We do not release customer information unless authorized by law, such as a valid law enforcement demand or an appropriate request in an emergency involving the danger of death or serious physical injury.
The table below sets out the number of subpoenas, orders, and warrants we received from law enforcement in the United States last year. We also received emergency requests and National Security Letters. The vast majority of these various types of demands relate to our consumer customers; we receive relatively few demands regarding our enterprise customers.
Overall, we saw an increase in the number of demands we received in 2013, as compared to 2012.
We received approximately 164,000 subpoenas from law enforcement in the United States last year. We are required by law to provide the information requested in a valid subpoena. The subpoenas we receive are generally used by law enforcement to obtain subscriber information or the type of information that appears on a customer's phone bill. More than half of the subpoenas we receive seek only subscriber information: that is, those subpoenas typically require us to provide the name and address of a customer assigned a given phone number or IP address. Other subpoenas also ask for certain transactional information, such as phone numbers that a customer called. The types of information we can provide in response to a subpoena are limited by law. We do not release contents of communications (such as text messages or emails) or cell site location information in response to subpoenas.
We received about 70,000 court orders last year. These court orders must be signed by a judge, indicating that the law enforcement officer has made the requisite showing required under the law to the judge. The orders compel us to provide some type of information to the government.
General Orders. Most of the orders we received last year – almost 63,000 – were "general orders." We use the term "general order" to refer to an order other than a wiretap order, warrant, or pen register or trap and trace order. Almost half of the general orders required us to release the same types of basic information that could also be released pursuant to a subpoena. We do not provide law enforcement any stored content (such as text messages or email) in response to a general order.
"Pen/Trap" Orders and Wiretap Orders. A small subset of the orders we received last year – about 7,800 – required us to provide access to data in real-time. A pen register order requires us to provide law enforcement with real-time access to phone numbers as they are dialed, while a trap and trace order compels us to provide law enforcement with real-time access to the phone numbers from incoming calls. We do not provide any content in response to pen register or trap and trace orders. We received about 6,300 court orders to assist with pen registers or trap and traces last year, although generally a single order is for both a pen register and trap and trace. Far less frequently, we are required to assist with wiretaps, where law enforcement accesses the content of a communication as it is taking place. We received about 1,500 wiretap orders last year.
We received about 36,000 warrants last year. To obtain a warrant a law enforcement officer must show a judge that there is "probable cause" to believe that the evidence sought is related to a crime. This is a higher standard than the standard for a general order. While many warrants seek the same types of information that can also be obtained through a general order or subpoena, most warrants we received in 2013 sought stored content or location information.
What showing must law enforcement make to obtain a warrant?
What is the difference between stored content and non-content?
Content and Location Information
Content. We are compelled to provide contents of communications to law enforcement relatively infrequently. Under the law, law enforcement may seek communications or other content that a customer may store through our services, such as text messages or email. Verizon only releases such stored content to law enforcement with a warrant; we do not produce stored content in response to a general order or subpoena. Last year, we received approximately 14,500 warrants for stored content.
As explained above, law enforcement may also present a wiretap order to obtain access to the content of a communication as it is taking place, which they did about 1,500 times last year. Taken together, the number of orders for stored content and to wiretap content in real-time accounted for only about five percent of the total number of demands we received in 2013.
Location Information. Verizon only produces location information in response to a warrant or order; we do not produce location information in response to a subpoena. Last year, we received about 35,000 demands for location data: about 24,000 of those were through orders and about 11,000 through warrants. In addition, we received about 3,200 warrants or court orders for "cell tower dumps" last year. In such instances, the warrant or court order compelled us to identify the phone numbers of all phones that connected to a specific cell tower during a given period of time. The number of warrants and orders for location information are increasing each year.
Emergency Requests
Law enforcement requests information from Verizon that is needed to help resolve serious emergencies. We are authorized by federal law to provide the requested information in such emergencies and we have an established process to respond to emergency requests, in accordance with the law. To request data during these emergencies, a law enforcement officer must certify in writing that there was an emergency involving the danger of death or serious physical injury to a person that required disclosure without delay. These emergency requests are made in response to active violent crimes, bomb threats, hostage situations, kidnappings and fugitive scenarios, often presenting life-threatening situations. In addition, many emergency requests are in search and rescue settings or when law enforcement is trying to locate a missing child or elderly person.
We also receive emergency requests for information from Public Safety Answering Points regarding particular 9-1-1 calls from the public. Calls for emergency services, such as police, fire or ambulance, are answered in call centers throughout the country, known as PSAPs. PSAPs receive tens of millions of calls from 9-1-1 callers each year, and certain information about the calls (name and address for wireline callers; phone numbers and available location information for wireless callers) is typically made available to the PSAP when a 9-1-1 call is made. Yet a small percentage of the time PSAP officials need to contact the telecom provider to get information that was not automatically communicated by virtue of the 9-1-1 call or by the 9-1-1 caller.
In 2013, we received 85,116 emergency requests for information from law enforcement in emergency matters involving the danger of death or serious physical injury or from PSAPs relating to particular 9-1-1 calls from the public for emergency services. While in 2013 we did not track whether an emergency request was made by law enforcement or PSAPs, we are doing so now. We estimate that at least half of these requests – approximately 50,000 – were from law enforcement pursuant to the emergency procedures discussed above and the remainder were from PSAPs after receiving 9-1-1 calls from the public.
National Security Letters
We also received between 1,000 and 2,000 National Security Letters in 2013. We are not permitted to disclose the exact number of National Security Letters that were issued to us, but the government will allow us to provide a broad range.

Say, what's this tag on my ear?
Someone needs to develop a Tor cellphone.
Straight from their main page.
"We are happy to report that we "dodged a bullet" last week when President Obama gave his January 17th speech on NSA "reforms". We were all ready to provide complete transparency about the current operating status of the Utah Data Center, but happily now it looks like we won't have to! "
That works out to around 20 orders per state per day provided by Verizon alone. If Verizon has 1/5 of all orders madeby LE, that is 100 orders per state per day.
Will you be one of the 100 in your state today? Perhaps someone in your family or a friend?
Like a knife thru butter Billy B. ! Great stuff !
Yeah, but the term 'bullshit' is too folksy for the evil that the NSA is perpetrating.
Just a show of transparency. The real critical information is being withheld. Can one expect transparency, let alone accountability, in a fascist police state?US withholding Fisa court orders on NSA bulk collection of Americans' data
Justice Department refuses to turn over 'certain other' documents in ACLU lawsuit meant to shed light on surveillance practices
US attorney Preet (of Steve A Cohen can keep his stolen billions fame) Bharara of the southern district of New York informed the ACLU in a Friday letter that the government would not turn over "certain other" records from a secret surveillance court, which are being "withheld in full" from a Freedom of Information Act suit the civil liberties group filed to shed light on bulk surveillance activities performed under the Patriot Act.
Now that we know about this shit, Verizon is going to charge us a $30 Spy Fee on each line. I hear At&T is considering unlimited government intrusion play for $95/month
How much will they charge to opt out of the spying program? $300 a month?
You can opt out by agreeing to accept a tiny square chip under your skin.
Becasue, I guess, corporations would never engage in aiding and abetting: terrorism, money laundering, propping up despots, fraud, corruption, etc.
You can trip over the ZH links documenting the reality, and tongue-in-cheek sarcasm, in the above statement.
They just tell you what you already know. Thanks Verizon.
Same old thing. Apologies after people have been railroaded by illegal information gathering followed by an investigation that backs up a warrant.
Rotten all the way up and down.
Unless of course you are one of those "If you have nothing to hide" people.
The government does whatever it wants, and then tells you only what you already know.
320,000 data requests. That's a lot of terrorists. I had no idea that terrorist penetration of the American way of life was so pervasive. Thank God we have the brave people to stir this evil caldron of terrorist soup.
<<<<penetration of the American
Well that part's right.
I for one am looking forward to my RFID chip so that our overlords can keep track of me, and we can dispense with the pretense of living in a free and private society.
They can chip my corpse. But make no mistake, after the collapse of the dollar, some form of exchange/currency will be needed for the payment of taxes. In comes a digital currency directly deposited into you. Its probably going to use Obammy care as the vehicle as NO person will be allowed the PRIVILEGE of medical care withput the chip. Think about it. Obammy care IS an operation of the federal taxing power. ALL entitlements are nothing more than extraordinary protections paid for with money from the public treasury. The very basis of the excise taxes withheld from your paycheck as Congress can tax the privileges it creates.
Its not outside the realm of rational thinking. Bypasses the chaos and allow the fed to gain absolute and direct control of everything. When you wipe your ass, the government will know which brand of ass wipe and how many (approved) sheets used. And when the fed determines that YOU have no further monetary use to them? Simple. Construct the chip from a toxic substance. Release of that substance (viral/bacterial) will be remotely triggered by a faceless government official.
Naw, they would never do that.
I think I deserve to know if I was on their list despite the fact that I broke no laws.
Are you so sure ?
With 85000 new Govt. laws and regulations just last year.
Plus all the old ones never removed.
You are doing your musketry practice every Sunday aren't you ?
We are all criminals now,just some are in high security lockup(jails).
This makes me feel better about the $200 I send them every month.
Tbis message was pre approved...thank you
<<The vast majority of these various types of demands relate to our consumer customers; we receive relatively few demands regarding our enterprise customers>>
Says them.
Sounds like someone's marketing department has been told to get those corporate clients back.
Watch for more publicity campaigns around the theme: "We spy on THEM, but not on YOU, see? Cause you's special. You's one-uh US. And as long as you STAYS one-uh US, you won't GET spied on, see?"
Everyone wants to be in the special less-spying, less oppressed group. Makes people feel safe or something, I don't know. Tried and true.
Snowden to ask Russian police for protection after US threats – lawyer
NSA whistleblower, Edward Snowden, will ask Russian law enforcers to protect him, his lawyer, Anatoly Kucherena, has said. The former NSA contractor is concerned about his safety after seeing death threats coming from the US.
Snowden, who is currently living in Moscow under Russia's temporary asylum, has been following the threats against him in various American media.
"We are concerned with the situation around Edward. We see the statements made by some US officials containing potential and implicit threats and openly calling for causing him bodily harm," Kucherena said.
One such statement published by BuzzFeed quoted a US intelligence officer describing in detail how he would have assassinated Snowden, if he "had the chance."
"We would end it very quickly... Just casually walking on the streets of Moscow, coming back from buying his groceries. Going back to his flat and he is casually poked by a passerby. He thinks nothing of it at the time starts to feel a little woozy and thinks it's a parasite from the local water. He goes home very innocently and next thing you know he dies in the shower," the chillingly detailed fantasy said.
You see some obviously intelligent person in such a situation, yet they keep their same name, same hair style and color, same scruffy beard, same glasses, same high profile, etc. In other words, they paint a target on their chest and then walk into harms way...
I'm not worried we have the president's reassurance that they are not abusing the system because they're our friends and neighbors. No I'm not worried after his I'll pass this off to holder who will do nothing speech - SCARED is more accurate.
NSA Official: 'We Are Now a Police State
A Running List of What We Know the NSA Can Do. So Far.
Because, obviously Snowden has no backup plan to shine a further blinding light into the halls of power in the event of his untimely death.
If this is the intelligence standard of the average NSA agent, I'm not sure we have a huge amount to worry about.
And they are Charging us For the Service of Spying on US.
maybe i can request line item Billing and contest that Entry
Once again, the math tells it all. Just adding up the numbers, and this is only one company, there is no way there's enough time to follow the legal procedures.
Transparency sure is the word. Make an enemy that can be anyone anywhere, make a war that does the same and you have a government and laws that have gone insane.
It's not so much that they made this, it's why they're so paranoid that makes me feel the same
This might be a stupid question, as we all already know the answer. Assuming you are a customer of one of these companies, is it within your "rights**" as a paying customer to find out what information they have on you as an individual? Has anyone gone ahead and requested such information? (I'm sure google would reveal this, but at the moment I am too lazy to look).
**- I know, this word is almost comical.
I think the gumint should be required to provide John Doe with a copy of his NSA 'profile' in the same format and with the same promptness as if Odoofus had requested Mr. Doe's profile.
But even more, I think the gubmint should be prevented from spying on citizens. If it will not stop, the elected officials must be replaced.
Translation Verizon:==>
We fucked up!... We know we fucked up and it's hurting us big time both domestic and internationally!...
So how can we fix it?...
I don't own that network...Verizon does. Same goes for AT&T. Still...http://books.google.com/books?id=lGS9Lbv0PdsC&pg=PA285&lpg=PA285&dq=does...
i'm not sure i want "swarm bots" in my Party Palace.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swarm_robotics PEACE OUT! PEACE OUT!
Stopped reading here," We do not release customer information unless authorized by law..."
No one is following any law, not the government, not the carriers, not even the secret executive branch court abomination trying to pose as constitutional, no one.
This lawless west interpretation of "laws" is the heart of the problem.
National Security has made a total joke of the rule of law.
Nice try, Verizon.
Nailed it!
And until the American people can look past the paystub as the "be-all and end-all" of their existence knowing full well that the only thing that matters are the rights and freedoms bound by law that they once held that are now gone are more valuable than any material "possessions" they hold -it will only get much worse!
They really should put a chip in my head. I'm ALWAYS up to no good.
Excelsior, to our mighty central planning overlords. Excelsior!!
I don't see anything on the report about all the Verizon husbands checking on their cheating wives and vice versa.
For all those "third party" corporations just handing over vast quanitities of our data and information, I have one word, COCKSUCKERS!

If you have a car, take the drive up the top to the Chateau, or if walking, try to make the effort to reach the top.
No need to visit the Chateau, because from here, there are many vantage points for views over the valley. We could see the Dordogne River and the Bridge with its reflections, more than one Castle, the Farmer's field's of wheat and barley, some small village's and great scenery.
On a lovely day like when we were there, it was fantastic viewing!

Scripted by Theodor Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss, the semi-musical cult film presented Rettig as the day-dreaming son of a single mother who so deeply resents his daily piano lesson that he escapes into a surreal world that allows him to act out his frustrations. Retting brought an admirably straight-faced sincerity to the decidedly odd goings-on. He gained fame playing another boy without a father in "Lassie", in stories that were fairly conventional but heartwarming tales of canine heroism. Jon Provost's Timmy was the first of many people who inherited the wonder dog after Retting aged out of the part.

Franco Pietropaoloa, a barber in downtown Fort Lee for 55 years, says a fellow hair clipper, now dead, often recalled that, at its opening, bridge operators promised that once its construction was paid off, crossing the George Washington would be a free trip.
"Now the bridge is $13. It's a disgrace," Pietropaoloa said.
When the bridge was under construction, local officials and developers foresaw a land boom for what was then still a town with farms and some unpaved roads. The borough took on heavy debts to pay for new streets and pipes. But the Great Depression erased those hopes and Fort Lee spent the 1950s in receivership. Development kicked in only in the 1960s, when builders began putting up apartment towers for New York commuters.
But once Fort Lee got its bridge and figured out how to leverage its location, life became governed by the incessant thrum of its traffic. That explains much about the reaction here to the allegations of political mischief.
"The tie-up was horrific," said Suzanne Miller, a retired accountant sipping her coffee in a bakery blocks from the bridge Thursday. She recalled the days in September when Christie allies ordered entry lanes to the span closed suddenly. A drive from home to the shop three blocks away that would normally take a minute took 20.
Miller noted that she voted for Christie in November because he seemed like somebody who got things done. "That's what I liked about him. He didn't take too much B.S. He told it like it was. I thought he was different."
Now, though, reading news accounts of how the traffic slowed an ambulance crew from reaching a 91-year-old woman who later died, she is doubtful, thinking about her own 96-year-old mother in town. "I'm not amused."
"It's wacko. I've never seen anything like it," said Melissa Kelly, a singer who lives in Fort Lee, recalling how a house guest was forced to walk across the nearly mile-long bridge to Manhattan because of the frozen traffic. "Who are these people? Who are they? Why do they do these crazy things?"
But others took Christie at his word Thursday when he apologized and said he had no knowledge of his aide's misdoings. They chalked it up to politics, and some pointed out that life here has long meant complaining about traffic, no matter whose fault it is. Most recently, some residents have complained mightily about a pair of 47-story glass towers going up just south of the bridge, and the traffic the new residents will add to the borough's roads.
"This is what Fort Lee is going to become more and more, and you have to get used to that," said Susan Boni, the owner of the Frames of Mine shop, within sight of the bridge, who lived in the town for 25 years.
Boni applauded Christie's apology Thursday, accepting it as a sign of leadership and responsibility, and felt ready to move on. Then she heard that he was planning to come to the borough to deliver his apology personally and started imagining the traffic that, hours later, true to her prediction, locked up borough streets.
"I heard this morning that he's coming to Fort Lee and I thought, ugh, there goes my day."

John Donne and the Protestant Reformation
New Perspectives
Edited by Mary Arshagouni Papazian
Early Modern History and Literature, Literary Criticism and Theory, Religion
Pages: 400 Size: 6x9
This collection of essays might be seen as a landmark in Donne studies. In many respects—argument, contributors, methodology—it sums up the dominant revisionist trends in Donne scholarship over the past fifteen years.
— Modern Philology
The early transition from Catholicism to Protestantism was a complicated journey for England, as individuals sorted out their spiritual beliefs, chose their political allegiances, and confronted an array of religious differences that had sprung forth in their society since the reign of Henry VIII. Inner anxieties often translated into outward violence. Amidst this turmoil the poet and Protestant preacher John Donne (1572–1631) emerged as a central figure, one who encouraged peace among Christians. Raised a Catholic but ordained in 1615 as an Anglican clergyman, Donne publicly identified himself with Protestantism, and yet scholars have long questioned his theological orientation. Drawing upon recent scholarship in church history, the authors of this collection reconsider Donne's relationship to Protestantism and clearly demonstrate the political and theological impact of the Reformation on his life and writings.
The collection includes thirteen essays that together place Donne broadly in the context of English and European traditions and explore his divine poetry, his prose work, the Devotions Upon Emergent Occasions, and his sermons. It becomes clear that in adopting the values of the Reformation, Donne does not completely reject everything from his Catholic background. Rather, the clash of religion erupts in his work in both moving and disconcerting ways. This collection offers a fresh understanding of Donne's hard-won irenicism, which he achieved at great personal and professional risk.
This collection of essays might be seen as a landmark in Donne studies. In many respects-argument, contributors, methodology-it sums up the dominant revisionist trends in Donne scholarship over the past fifteen years."

End FGM/C Social Change Campaign: Mobilising a Global Movement
"The End FGM/C Social Change Campaign will elevate ending female genital mutilation, globally. Building on the gains made so far to end FGM/C, our goal is to encourage everybody to come together under a unified campaign, to create an even stronger and a visible movement at community, national and international levels. This will help us to address the issue in much more profound way to break the cycle of abuse of FGM."
-Efua Dorkenoo, Progamme Director, End FGM/C Social Change Campaign, Options
|Efua Dorkenoo (r.) with Lynne Featherstone, MP, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for International Development
On 6 February 2014, International Day of Zero Tolerance to Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting (FGM/C), the UK Government announced the appointment of a consortium of leading anti-FGM/C campaigners and development communications experts, coordinated by Options, including Equality Now, to deliver a global campaign to end FGM/C.
The campaign will support increasing momentum within Africa to end FGM/C and will work at international, regional, national and community levels across Africa to bring about a cultural transformation in attitudes towards FGM/C by:
Who we are
The campaign is being implemented by a consortium including:
The team will be based in Nairobi and London, and is led by Efua Dorkenoo, OBE, former Advocacy Director and current Senior Adviser of Equality Now's FGM programme, and former technical expert for the WHO, where she assisted the organisation in introducing FGM/C onto the agendas of the Ministries of Health of Member States. The programme will work closely with the United Nations Joint Programme against FGM/C, governments and civil society in focal countries.
What next?
The campaign is currently in its design phase, with a public-facing campaign due to launch in the second half of 2014. We encourage any individual, organisation or network who shares the vision of an end to the practice of FGM/C in a generation to join the global campaign.

Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Smith & Wesson: Americans are buying fewer guns
NEW YORK - Smith & Wesson posted disappointing earnings and a weak forecast for one simple reason: Americans are buying fewer guns.
Shares of the gunmaker plunged 12% in premarket trading Friday as it dawned on investors that the once high-flying gun industry is coming down to Earth.
shares dropped more than 12% before the bell
The gun industry has experienced an intense run-up in demand over the last couple years, fueled by concerns of more rigorous gun restrictions in the wake of President Obama's reelection and a series of mass shootings including the Sandy Hook massacre in Newtown, Conn.
Gun enthusiasts stockpiled the military-style semiautomatic rifles that are often referred to as assault rifles, exhausting the supply and driving up the prices. But Obama failed to get a bill through Congress that would have placed restrictions on these guns, alleviating concerns that they would be hard to come by.
But there are still signs of growth. Smith & Wesson recently reported a hefty increase in handgun sales, buoyed by growing consumer interest in self-defense and concealed carry.
"Compact guns and polymer guns are selling really well," said Brian Ruttenbur, gun analyst for CRT Capital. "They are ramping up production dramatically."
Ruttenbur said that Smith & Wesson's latest line of M&P compact pistols is so popular that supply is running thin.
"You can't find an M&P gun on the shelf," he said. "This is their competitor to Glock."
For the fourth quarter, Smith & Wesson reported a decline in net sales of more than 4% to $170 million and a 13% drop in income from continuing operations to about $25 million.

Company executives preferred to emphasize record sales of $626 million for the fiscal year, up 6% from the prior year
"We are very pleased with our record results for fiscal year 2014, which include the highest sales, gross margin and profits in the company's history," said Smith & Wesson Chief Executive Officer James Debney, in a press release. "Our successful performance was driven by robust consumer demand for our products, combined with carefully managed increases in our manufacturing capacity."
Smith & Wesson projects that net sales for fiscal year 2015 will dip to a range of $585 million to $600 million.
