Seattle police said during a news conference Thursday evening that one of four shooting victims on the campus of Seattle Pacific University earlier today has died. One unidentified suspected shooter dressed as "Rambo" is in police custody.
A Seattle police spokesperson said Seattle Pacific University staffers disarmed a gunman who entered a building and opened fire, injuring four people and started to reload. A Harborview Medical Center spokeswoman, Susan Gregg said one man has died and of three other people injured, one critically injured 20-year-old woman has been taken to surgery. Gregg says a 24-year-old man and a 22-year-old man are in satisfactory condition.
Seattle Police initially said a second suspect armed with a handgun remained at large, but soon after said they were no longer looking for anyone else.
In April 2010, the FBI, the U.S. Department of Education and the U.S. Secret Service released a report entitled: "Campus Attacks: Targeted Violence Affecting Institutions of Higher Education." The report's findings from a review of 272 incidents of violence that affected institutions of higher education in the U.S. from 1900 through 2008.
However, mass shootings on American university campuses and schools have dramatically increased in recent years. The federal government is partnering with state and local governments to develop prevention and enforcement programs to prevent and respond to mass shootings on "soft targets" including schools.
In 2012, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security funded a manual titled "Primer to Design Safe School Projects in Case of Terrorist Attacks and School Shootings"was distributed and intended for use by school administrators who feel they are at risk for attack and is designed to meet the needs of all schools, including those with serious security concerns. The manual provides information on how to protect schools and campus facilities from school shootings or terrorism, compiled by the National Clearinghouse for Educational Facilities.
Non government resources such as School Safe, a website that provides safety and security minded professionals with a place to discuss, train, and research new ways to improve our schools emergency response plans for active shooter, weather related issues, fire, building collapse, chemical explosions, terrorist acts, riots, kidnapping, etc.
The United States government has largely ignored proposals and plans aimed at teaching school faculty and students--beginning in Kindergarten on how to prepare for and respond to violence in American schools. Research evidences that in mass shooting incidents, simply thinking about what you would do ahead of time save lives.

Eyes speak the language of the heart, they say. Unspoken words can be seen and read in the mirror of the eyes. Your eyes can be your best feature if you pay just a little bit of attention to your eyelashes. It's true that everyone is not blessed with long eyelashes, but if you use the right techniques, you, too, can enjoy longer eyelashes without using costly eyelash extension products and treatments. Not only will these techniques, give you a fresh younger look, they will make your eyes look bigger and more noticeable.
Check out the eyelash products and techniques below and choose the ones that work for you. No matter which one you try, the result will be the same: you'll look like you have thicker, longer eyelashes!!!
1. Comb Eyelashes
Combing your eyelashes with a special eyelash comb as part of your daily routine, will actually make your eyelashes longer. By combing your eyelashes from the root up towards the tip, it separates the eyelashes so they are the longest they can be and in the right position. If you apply mascara after this, there will be no clumping of the lashes, and your eyes will look bright and beautiful.
2. Curl your Eyelashes
An eyelash curler is one of the most ingenuous eyelash products and can give your eyelashes that extra curl and bounce needed for them to look bigger, fuller and more beautiful. The curler should be used gently by clamping down at the eyelash base, working your way towards the tip, so you can get natural looking curly eyelashes.
3. Use Eyelash Accelerator
If you use an eyelash accelerator mascara (there are many to choose from), your eyelashes will become longer, shinier and thicker. It really does work.
4. Combine Primer and Mascara
If you use a clear-colored mascara called an eyelash primer that is applied on the eyelashes as an undercoat before mascara application, it will lengthen, nourish and thicken your eyelashes. And, if you apply a quality mascara on your upper eyelashes and just a touch on your bottom eyelashes, your eyelashes will look longer.
Some more mascara tips:
- If you comb through your eyelashes with an eyelash comb after putting a little mascara on the comb, you can separate them to give them a fuller, longer appearance.
- A heated mascara wand will push up your eyelashes and curl them so your eyelashes look thick and long
- Mascara will blend fake eyelashes with your real ones, so they look more natural, longer and accentuate your overall appearance.
5. Try Eyeliner
If you apply a black waterproof liquid eyeliner really close to your eyelash line, you can make your eyelashes appear longer because it seems as if there is more hair towards your eyelash roots.
Tightlining, a technique used by makeup professionals gives the illusion of longer eyelashes. Using a gel-based eyeliner alongside the eyelid water line on the eyelash underside with an angled liner brush from the outer eyelashes to the inner ones makes eyelashes appear longer. After that, a liquid eyeliner can be applied over the lashes to shape and fill them up.
Some more tips:
By extending the eyeliner line subtly at the outside corners of your eyes, your eyelashes will look longer.
If you push black eyeshadow into your eyelash roots with a small eyeliner brush, it will look like you have long eyelashes.
6. Minking Eyelashes
A technique called 'minking' is a great way to get longer eyelashes and wider, brighter looking eyes. The technique involves using two different mascara colors like black and brown. Apply black mascara on the eyelashes, then apply brown mascara on the eyelash tips, and lastly, recoat your eyelashes with black mascara to add depth and length to your eyelashes.
7. Applying Fake Eyelashes
If you want your eyelashes to look longer and more dramatic, then try fake eyelashes available as single, full-lash and partial eyelash sets that are applied with a special glue adhesive. Applying mascara on the fake lashes gives the impression that the eyelashes are longer, and make you look and feel like a celebrity.
Putting Oil
If you apply a small amount of Vaseline (petroleum jelly), olive oil, castor oil or coconut oil to your eyelashes and leave them overnight, your eyelashes will grow naturally and be conditioned. It may take a while till you see the results, but it's worth the wait.
There are a lot of commercial products and treatments available in the market which will make your eyelashes longer, but they are pricey and come with certain side effects. However, if you follow the techniques and use the eyelash products given above, you will not have to spend so much money and will also avoid the side effects. And above all, you will look like you have long eyelashes whenever you want.

When the United States v. Windsor decision—finding a key provision of the Defense of Marriage Act ("DOMA") unconstitutional—was handed down by the Supreme Court of the United States earlier this summer, we noted that the ruling would extend various federal benefits to same-sex married couples in states that allow gay marriage. Specifically with regard to the Family and Medical Leave Act ("FMLA"), we surmised that a person with a same-sex spouse will be entitled to FMLA leave if all other conditions are met.
The Wall Street Journal reported on August 9, 2013, that the U.S. Department of Labor ("DOL") Secretary Tom Perez has issued internal regulatory guidance to its employees—in light of the Windsor decision—affirming that same-sex married couples can take FMLA leave to care for an ill spouse. The guidance informed all DOL staff that previous guidance documents have been updated to remove references to DOMA, and that the DOL will continue to look for every opportunity to ensure the DOL is implementing the Windsor decision in a way that provides maximum protection to workers and their families.
A 1998 Department of Labor opinion letter actually found DOMA's definition of "spouse" to be controlling despite the language of the FMLA regulations, but the updated DOL guidance makes it clear that the state law definition of "spouse" controls. The effect of the DOL's new guidance, therefore, is that same-sex married couples residing in Washington, D.C., and the 13 states where same-sex marriage is legal are eligible to take FMLA leave to care for their spouse.
The DOL has yet to explicitly expand the eligibility to same-sex married couples who live in states that do not recognize same-sex marriage, however, the DOL is likely to move in that direction in the future. In 2010, the DOL expanded FMLA benefits to same-sex parents, making them eligible to take leave to care for a child with whom they do not have a biological or legal relationship. In July 2013, the Office of Personnel Management, responsible for managing the civil service of federal employees, stated that it is extending benefits to federal employees and retirees in same-sex marriages regardless of their state of residency.
New York employers should ensure that they are providing FMLA leave to otherwise eligible employees in a same-sex marriage to care for an ill spouse.

Over the weekend, I was alerted to a fascinating story that I hadn't read about before. It relates to a piece of investigative journalism led by two Bloomberg News journalists out of Hong Kong. The report focused on the financial relationship between a Chinese billionaire and political leaders and it was being led by Michael Forsythe and Shai Oster. Forsythe and Oster were also the lead reporters on a story that Bloomberg News ran in 2012, which exposed the massive wealth of China's leadership. That story angered the Chinese elite to such an extent that they stopped buying terminals from Bloomberg LP for a period of time and also suspended new residency visas for its news employees.
Apparently, the loss of revenue was enough to convince Bloomberg to abandon real journalism, because according to the New York Times, the organization's head editor, Matthew Winkler killed the story. The journalists had apparently been working on it for a year and were understandably none too pleased to hear about it being shelved. We learn that:
BEIJING — The decision came in an early evening call to four journalists huddled in a Hong Kong conference room. On the line 12 time zones away in New York was their boss, Matthew Winkler, the longtime editor in chief of Bloomberg News. And they were frustrated by what he was telling them.
The investigative report they had been working on for the better part of a year, which detailed the hidden financial ties between one of the wealthiest men in China and the families of top Chinese leaders, would not be published.
In the call late last month, Mr. Winkler defended his decision, comparing it to the self-censorship by foreign news bureaus trying to preserve their ability to report inside Nazi-era Germany, according to Bloomberg employees familiar with the discussion.
Oh good lord, how desperate can you get to justify censorship. Somehow, the New York Times was able to report on JP Morgan's bribes in China just last week despite also having its visas pulled.
Bloomberg News infuriated the government in 2012 by publishing a series of articles on the personal wealth of the families of Chinese leaders, including the new Communist Party chief, Xi Jinping. Bloomberg's operations in China have suffered since, as new journalists have been denied residency and sales of its financial terminals to state enterprises have slowed. Chinese officials have said repeatedly that news coverage on the wealth and personal lives of Chinese leaders crosses a red line.
Of course they think that, which is why we have journalism in the first place. To write about it anyway.
The perception among some Bloomberg employees that the company is now unwilling to cross such lines has left them unsettled. More broadly, it has cast new light on the dilemma that numerous foreign news organizations confront as they navigate the pressures of doing both journalism and business in China.
Other news organizations have come under similar pressure. The websites of The New York Times, including a new Chinese-language edition, were blocked when it published an article in October 2012 on the family wealth of Wen Jiabao, then the prime minister. Like Bloomberg, The Times has also not received residency visas for new journalists.
But the investigative work has also won top prizes, most notably for the China family wealth series in 2012. Two of the main writers on that series, Michael Forsythe and Shai Oster, were the lead reporters on the recent tycoon story.
Editors at Bloomberg have long been aware of the need to tread carefully in China. A system has been in place that allows editors to add an internal prepublication code to some articles to ensure that they do not appear on terminals in China, two employees said. This has been used regularly with articles on Chinese politics, including the one on Mr. Xi's family.
That's some George Orwell type shit right there.

This has been used regularly with articles on Chinese politics, including the one on Mr. Xi's family.
Bloomberg News has already come under criticism as word of the uncertain fate of the investigative China articles has slowly leaked out in recent days. An animation arm of Next Media, a powerful Hong Kong media company critical of the Chinese Communist Party, released an online video cartoon on Friday evening mocking Bloomberg for self-censorship.
The strongest reason he presented was the possibility of Bloomberg's being evicted from China, employees said.
"He was speaking from a news perspective, not a sales perspective," an employee said. Mr. Winkler also said he had read a lot about foreign journalists working under the Third Reich and wanted to formulate a strategy for staying in China as long as possible. "He said he was looking at the example of how news organizations worked in Nazi Germany, how they were able to stay there, how they were able to write in that environment," the employee said.
Oh, but the story doesn't end there. It gets a lot better, because apparently Bloomberg News has now fired Mr. Forsythe for being the apparent leak in the New York Times piece. The New York Post reports that:
Bloomberg L.P. has put a reporter suspected of leaking news about a controversial China story on unpaid leave, The Post has learned.
Michael Forsthye was escorted from Bloomberg's Hong Kong office on Nov. 14, sources said, after he was fingered as the person who leaked embarrassing claims about how the news and data giant spiked a story that could have angered leaders in China.
Personally, I can think of more than one reason why Michael Bloomberg might want to spike a story about a billionaire oligarch's cozy relationship with political leaders, but hey I'm just a paranoid conspiracy theorist.
Now let's end the post with some laughs. The following video was created by Next Media, a Hong Kong media company critical of the Chinese Communist Party The video is two minutes and is epic. Definitely take the time.

Keith Jarrett: Autumn Leaves
Autumn Leaves
Keith Jarrett (piano)
Still Live (ECM 1360/61)
Keith Jarrett (piano), Gary Peacock (bass), Jack DeJohnette (drums).
Composed by Joseph Kosma and Jacques Prévert.
Recorded: Philharmonic Hall, Munich, July 13, 1986
Rating: 97/100 (learn more)
The Keith Jarrett Standards Trio has recorded frequently, and maintained a high level of inspiration for more than a quarter of a century. But it is hard to top this 1986 live recording in Munich for sheer inspired interaction and unbridled intensity. There is much to admire here: the disjunctive rhythms, the simmering energy, the shifts in mood, and above all the ability for each player to stand tall and assert himself without rupturing the overall union of the three voices. Jarrett, Peacock and DeJohnette take on "Autumn Leaves" with the zeal of a S.W.A.T. team knocking down your front door. This is assault jazz of the highest order, and if they can do it to "Autumn Leaves" . . . well, I guess they can do it to about anything, huh?

Council members say they simply want to set up a means to collect the storm water assessment that was passed last year, but some residents say they think the system is really an ad valorem tax, which is a tax based on the value of real estate or personal property, something the city charter does not allow in Panama City Beach.
Jim Smith, a Panama City Beach resident, said, "We think it is a tax, call it what you want to. It's a tax levy against us."
But Panama City Beach Mayor Gayle Oberst says this is not assessing or taxing anything.
Gayle Oberst said, "This is the third year that we've passed this resolution that sets up a vehicle so if the tax collector should be used to collect that assessment, it can be put on their property tax bill."
Douglas Sale, city attorney, said, "This is not an ad valorem tax. This is not even an assessment. This is a methodology to collect an assessment if there ever is one."
City manager Richard Jackson says future assessment fees could range from transportation improvement projects to installing sidewalks, or any other assessments that citizens may want to improve in the neighborhood.
The city's recently enacted storm water fee has already been implemented and collected.
Richard Jackson said, "This fee will actually have nothing to do with your property value. The fee is set up under the guidelines of the storm water ordinance, which is added to your property tax bill."
And if there should be a future assessment?
"We will have public hearings, we will notify all of you. We will talk about that before they are levied."
Tonight the council also welcomed its newest member when Rick Russell was sworn in. Councilman Jeff Ferguson was appointed vice mayor. Tonight was the council's last meeting of the year.

Last week Garmin reminded us that it was 20 years ago that the GPS 155 was the first to receive FAA approval for IFR navigation en route, terminal and for approach. Even in the slow moving world of aviation technology 20 years is a long time. But the surprising saga of how GPS got to be what we know today goes back much further.
I've been following and writing about GPS for nearly 40 years. I started trying to describe the technology in 1975 when I was working in the communications department at Collins Radio, what we now know as Rockwell Collins. The then large conglomerate, Rockwell, had just acquired Collins and the sometimes bumpy road to integration was under way.
Collins engineers had been working on a previously secret satellite based navigation system for the Air Force called Navstar. Collins had the contract to build the first receivers and another division of Rockwell was building the satellites.
Navstar was first, foremost and at that time exclusively a weapons system. Or more precisely a weapons guidance system. It was the winning technology after years of research, trial and error to find a way to locate and direct military weapons, missiles, aircraft, ships and even individual soldiers anywhere on earth.
The Cold War was burning hot at the time and Navstar would give the U.S. a big edge in precision weapons delivery. Before Navstar inertial guidance was the best technology for directing weapons to their targets over long range, but inertial has many limitations, including accumulating errors as time and distance go by.
I don't know for sure why the Air Force decided to begin talking about Navstar. Maybe the program became too big to keep secret. Or maybe it understood that once a signal is broadcast it can't really be a secret. Or maybe it wanted some PR. Whatever the reason by 1975 we could start talking at least a little about Navstar and its fantastic capabilities. Navstar performance was still secret and we could only say accuracy was "within 10s of meters" and there were only a few test satellites overhead. But Buick signed up to be the first auto maker to eventually offer Navstar guidance. And Collins was able to show off the precision of Navstar guidance by flying its Sabreliner under the short and small reception footprint of the few test satellites.
The FAA reaction to Navstar was no, never, will the signals be used for civilian airplane navigation. Don't even think about it. The Air Force reinforced the FAA by letting everybody know that it is intentionally degrading the accuracy of Navstar by "dithering" the signal and only military receivers with "selective availability" could receive the true nav accuracy. And on top of that the Air Force said it will turn off Navstar at any time it wants and without any warning or notice.
You can imagine how this played in the rest of the world. Even our allies were never ever going to use a nav system controlled by the U.S. military. The FAA and Europeans threw millions at the microwave landing system (MLS) while all the while swearing on a stack of whatever that we civilians would never be allowed to use Navstar guidance in the national airspace system.
But, once you put a signal out there, somebody is going to figure out how to receive it and use it. And people did. Before long people were creating Navstar receivers for all sorts of uses. None of those receivers were approved for anything, but they didn't need to be, except in aviation for IFR navigation.
Soon the Navstar name was dropped in favor of the more descriptive Global Positioning System. The FAA and Air Force remained adamant that GPS couldn't be used for any approved navigation. The Air Force kept telling the public it would degrade GPS accuracy and may turn it off at any time it saw a threat. But companies kept building ever more capable navigators and GPS began to work its way into all aspects of our lives.
By the Clinton administration the politicians realized the Air Force attitude was untenable. Taxpayers understood that they had paid for the GPS technology development and for the satellites and wanted to use what they had paid for. President Clinton was the first to order the Air Force to knock off all the GPS denial talk and remove the intentional error from the system.
The FAA did a complete 180 turn and announced plans to convert to a complete satellite based nav system. There would be no more ILS approaches and the VORs would be decommissioned on a schedule that was too rapid to be believable. WAAS solved the problem of insufficient vertical accuracy and signal loss warning time so LPV approaches match the precision of ILS. The FAA remains committed to a satellite based air space system but the timetable has slipped to 2020 and beyond.
And the rest of the world jumped onboard. The Europeans have the Galileo satellite system, the Russians have GLONASS, and China and others are developing their own more or less compatible GPS systems and all will eventually be integrated into worldwide system.
The surprise wasn't that politics, both military and civilian, got in the way of all of us using GPS. The pleasant, and rare surprise, is that all of us won. Most new technology is launched with promises that can't be kept. GPS was launched with promises that the world, and particularly civilian pilots, wouldn't be able to use it. Funny how hard it is to predict where technology will lead.

The 10 Best Jobs in Louisiana
The 10 Best Jobs in Louisiana
The growing healthcare and technology fields are universal winners in Louisiana's diverse statewide job market.
The Louisiana Workforce Commission (LWC) finds that the healthcare and tech industries offer opportunities across the state despite significant geographical differences from one area to another. Such trends of favorable climates in healthcare and technology reflect the national landscape, as demonstrated in the Top 200 Jobs of 2012 Jobs Rated report.
Healthcare opportunities are expected to swell dramatically next year and beyond in the Pelican State. In fact, there are career fields that pay a higher salary in Louisiana than the national average. Physical therapist is a career the LWC projects to grow rapidly in the next decade, which also pays an average statewide salary $3,000 higher than the nation.
These factors and physical therapist's high ranking in the overall Jobs Rated 2012 list makes it No. 1 for best jobs in Louisiana. Jobs Rated weighs work environment, stress level and physical demands in gauging careers. Read the complete methodology here (link).
Market research analyst ranked No. 2 and is among the most underrated jobs in the nation. Exponential projected growth and favorable work conditions make this one of the most promising career options in Louisiana.
Tech jobs, including computer system analyst and computer programmer, are projected to grow throughout Louisiana and provide employees competitive wages. CenturyLink, a Fortune 500 company and the nation's third largest telecommunications provider, is headquartered in Monroe and continues to add jobs at a strong pace per its 2011 incentive agreement with the state.
By 2016, CenturyLink estimates it will add nearly 2,000 jobs - 800 directly and 1,170 indirectly - as a result of its new headquarters, which breaks ground in early 2013.
"This expansion project will be a catalyst for advancing our strategic growth initiatives and will promote the research of new technologies," says CenturyLink CEO and President Glen F. Post, III. "We are pleased to bring high-quality jobs to Monroe and believe our new facility will be a focal point for our technology-driven company."
A critical part of the company's expanse of tech jobs is its work with Louisiana Tech University via the Clarke M. Williams Professorship in Telecommunications. The program prepares students for careers in the state's growing tech sector.
"[T]he university will collaborate with CenturyLink to deliver courses that serve the advanced education needs of the company's workforce," reports the Louisiana Economic Development office. "A certificate program will build upon the prior education and training of the employees and provide them with skills needed for success in further professional and technical development."
Other companies in the state are expanding opportunities through other programs like Louisiana FastStart, a "workforce solutions provider that works with businesses to anticipate and address the company's workforce needs early in the startup or expansion process." This translates to training for and creation of many vital office positions.
In Houma, New Orleans, Lafayette and Lake Charles - all of which border the Gulf Coast -- the energy industry is expected to continue to create many job opportunities. And in Monroe, the former headquarters of Delta Airlines and a city where the airport is undergoing a multi-million dollar renovation, transportation-related careers are expected to expand.
Actors in New Orleans also have opportunities far surpassing state and national levels, thanks to tax credits and a burgeoning production presence in the Crescent City. The city was the No. 3 domestic filming location nationally last year behind Los Angeles and New York.

I'm not shopping as much as I'm looking for some guidance on good idea / bad idea strategies. I'm sure I'm not in the "best practices" budget range.
Currently, I have 3 dell poweredges running xenserver in a pool.
Each node has a ubuntu file server, serving about 6TB. One is the primary, the other two are rsync targets for backup. The 6TB is stored on their respective local storage disks as an LVM of 3x2tb virtual disks. The fileserver VM disks are also stored on the node local disks.
Each node also runs a smattering of light-weight VMs for web, development, windows VMs, and stuff like that. Several of those VM's disks reside on a QNAP NAS to play with live migration. These VM's are often clients of the primary file server (like all the mail, web content, user files are stored on the file server, not on the mail, web, and samba VMs).
This all works fine, and is a major step up for us. The downside is that the QNAP is a single point of failure. And the only thing the QNAP is doing is serving migratable VM images, not client data. Someday the poweredge local arrays will be full, and we will have to reinvent ourselves again.
Is it wise to have heavywieght vms (like the fileserver, with its 6+ TB disks) on a SAN or NAS?
Would it be better to keep the VMs lightweight, have the VM images on a SAN or NAS, and use 2 or more NAS act as NFS-serving file appliances? A hybrid SAN/NAS that can serve iscsi for images and NFS for the client vms?
It seems like live-magration would be a misnomer if you have to migrate a fileserver with its entire 6+ TB disk.
I recognize there are plenty of ways to skin the cat. We've already skinned it a few ways. What makes sense?

I only noticed this new area yesterday James and I'm sure others haven't spotted it yet either ... I'm sure it'll catch on.
Why was it brought back at all?
Master of prescience
Because it can generate revenue for the site. Note it is an Ebay link forum, not discussion forum.
Let me get this straight. You take a perfectly good CD and put it in a DVD player??!!
Just noticed it, has it been here long?
So much music, so little time...
I take it the site makes a small amount if someone follows a link and actually buys something and that this is acheived via the wizardry of software. Or is it a volume thing?
can we link to anything on e bay, including non hifi?
i thought this was for posting links to your own stuff for sale on there.

Good lord. eBay links. Whodathunkit?
I still treasure the extra arsehole that Duvet ripped in me for daring to post an eBay link in the past!
LoL - yes, how times change and people backtrack when there are carrots dangled from ad revenue hehe.
If there is ad revenue involved does that mean we are limited to positive only posts about eBay et al, North Korean style?
The wide-spread ban of needle-drops from mods across all the hifi forums because of control from Google Ads was rather a shock I must admit ! Perhaps its the future of the internet.

I originally was going to do a joke thread that Conservatives should join the Democrat Party to the advantages of media and culture. But a more important subject has come up that I need to discuss.
On last night's radio show AZ Old Dog, Eagle Soars, Osprey and I discussed the technological machine that is Organizing for Action. This machine which led to Obama's re-election triumph in 2012 despite a bad economy. Yes the Democrats advantage with the popular culture and Media helped, but it was the technological advantage that really is the key to the Democrat's strength. Now OFA is setting its sight on a new target, Texas.
Some on the blog scoff at the notion at Texas turning blue, do so at your own peril. Organizing For Action's data mining techniques and manipulation of voters through slick messaging works. I saw first hand how in Florida they turned the once solidly Republican Cuban American vote, into swing vote that broke narrowly for Obama. They did through a combination of fear mongering by claiming Republicans were going to take away Dry Foot, Wet Foot and using bigoted words of people like Ann Coulter in emails. The result was Cubans got angry and scared of the Republicans and broke with a Party they have backed for nearly 50 years. It was dirty, but i worked.
Texas is currently solidly Red, but many from Blue States have move in. Although the Texas Republican Party does better with the Hispanic vote (35%-40%) than the party does nationally (27%), using the Florida blueprint of fear mongering and propaganda, OFA hopes to make them solidly Democrat. They also plan to target younger Texans who may not be as culturally Conservative as their parents. The trick OFA will use is to try to convince these younger voters that the Democrats are fiscally Conservative but Socially tolerant. They then will use Republicans like Santorum, who is OFA's greatest asset, into shaming voters from voting Republican. I met people who really believe that on fiscal and economic matters that there is no difference than Republicans and Democrats. They vote Democrat because OFA has convinced them Republicans are hateful bigots. Republicans have never refuted any of these allegations, because they are not aware of what OFA is doing.
The man who is tasked with turning Texas blue is Jeremy Bird. Using OFA's micromanagement tactics he pulled a surprise win for Obama in Florida. Now he is being given the resources to make Texas a Battleground state and then eventually a Democrat stronghold. He is the head of the OFA offshoot, Battleground Texas.
But who is capable of pulling just this scenario off? Enter: Battleground Texas and its senior adviser, Jeremy Bird.
Last month, Politico reported that Mr. Bird — President Barack Obama's 2012 campaign national field director — was in Austin, Texas to meet with local Democrats on Battleground Texas, "a large-scale independent group aimed at turning traditionally conservative Texas into a prime electoral battleground."
In his early 30s, Mr. Bird is a current and future star of the Democratic Party's awesomely effective campaign machine. As Mr. Obama's field director, he revolutionized the effectiveness of the traditional field model, registering, among a great many others, 361,000 left-leaning voters in Florida, 156,000 left-leaning voters in Colorado and 96,000 left-leaning voters in Nevada. Not bad, considering Mr. Obama's candidacy was no longer an historic first.[….]
"Bird wouldn't play in Texas on a hope," Vlytics partner Scott Tranter told TheDC. "He can pick his next job; choose his next salary. If he's moving to Texas, it's because he thinks he can win — and he's proven that he can."
Over his three presidential campaigns, Mr. Bird has been responsible for millions of door knocks and tens of millions of phone calls that didn't simply target Democrats — they targeted Republican and undecided Americans that Mr. Obama's data operation knew were likely to respond favorably.
"Our approach — using smart data, people-to-people organizing, and digital strategies and analytics — can win even the toughest of campaigns," Mr. Bird said on a Tuesday conference call with reporters, "and we know it will work in Texas too."
Indeed, Mr. Bird is at the cutting edge of the technological prowess that helped the Democrats so effectively defeat the Republicans in 2008 and 2012. The Wall Street Journal described his approach as "one part data and one part emotional connection. He keeps close track of which states are making their targets each day, but also preaches the value of relationships — between the campaign and its volunteers, and between volunteers and voters."
On Feb. 24, Mr. Bird retweeted a Huffington Post article in which Mr. Perry said that Texas going blue "is the biggest pipe dream I have ever heard."
Mr. Bird added two words: "Love this."

Claiming kids for Federal & State taxes

According to the court i'm 70% responsible for them.
I'm not sure what this means, but payment of child support is not relevant to your question.
As the prior response notes, the right to claim a child as a dependent for purposes of federal income taxes is governed by IRS regulations, and, in a situation such as yours, the parent with whom the child resides for the majority of the year likely gets to make the claim. Under IRS regulations, the parent with the right may give that right to the other parent if he/she wishes. Additionally, a state divorce court may, if it deems it equitable to do so, may order the parent with the right to give it to the other parent. Does your divorce decree/custody order say anything at all in this regard?

According to the court i'm 70% responsible for them. Do I have the right to carry my boys being that I'm responsible for the majority of their expenses. I was rejected by the IRS b/c she claimed them on her taxes. Any advice?
Your facts and your question are a bit vague. I'll assume that you are asking about whether you may claim the dependent exemption for the children, since that is the most basic tax benefit available with respect to having kids. I'll assume you are the father of these kids and the woman who "claimed them on her taxes" is the mother. I'll assume that you and the mother combined provided over half the total support for the kids during 2012, i.e. no one else, like a grandparent or the kids themselves, for example, provided over half their total support. I'll also assume the kids were under age 19 on December 31, 2012, they are U.S. citizens or residents, and that they are not married. I'll also assume that no one other than you or the mother had physical custody of the kids last year. Finally, I assume that you are either divorced, legally separated, or lived apart from the mother for the entire last 6 months of 2012.
Assuming those assumptions are correct, the rule that applies here is the special rule for divorced or separated parents. Under that rule, the parent with whom the child lived for the greater part of the year (184+ days) is the custodial parent for federal tax purposes and thus the parent who may claim the dependent exemption for the child. Note that it doesn't matter which of the parents provided the most support for the kids. What matters is which parent the kids lived with most of the year. The reason Congress adopted this rule was to make it much easier for the IRS to determine which parent gets the exemption. Trying to sort out who provided the most support is often a difficult task because support is provided in all kinds of ways, some of which are hard to measure or track. Under the rule for divorced or separated parents, the noncustodial parent only gets the exemption if the custodial parent provides a signed written declaration to the noncustodial parent in which the custodial parent agrees not to claim the exemption and allows the noncustodial parent to claim it instead. IRS Form 8332 may be used for the declaration. This declaration must be attached to the noncustodial parent's tax return.
You can read all the rules for the dependent exemption in IRS Publication 501.
From what you said, my guess is that you electronically filed your 2012 return and that the electronic filing was rejected because the mother electronically filed first and claimed the exemption. Note that the rejection by the computer is not a determination that she is entitled to the exemption. The computer will always reject the second return that is electronically filed when two returns claim the same person as an exemption on the return. If you were actually entitled to the exemptions, then you solve this problem by filing a paper return claiming the exemptions. The IRS will accept and process the paper return. About a year later, however, both parents will get letters from the IRS asking them to prove they are entitled to the exemption. If the kids lived with their mother for the greater part of the year, you would lose the exemption and have to pay additional tax to the IRS, along with interest and perhaps a penalty, too. So make sure you get it right. If you are not entitled to the exemptions, simply remove the claim to the exemptions from the return and electronically file again. Assuming no other problems with the return, it should go through just fine.
I asked the District Attorney if I could carry my boys for taxes and he said "yes, you're 70% responsible for them".
District attorneys aren't tax lawyers and you ought not rely on what the district attorney tells you about tax law. District attorneys prosecute state crimes — that's their area of expertise. The district attorney with whom you spoke was, quite simply, wrong. He was wrong because he simply assumed something about tax law rather than actually knowing what the tax law provides.

|McDowell hopes playing in his second straight final group for a major will pay off Sunday. (US Presswire)
LYTHAM ST. ANNES, England -- Graeme McDowell has a lot of big dreams, and at least one of them will come true on Sunday.
"Since I was a young boy I dreamed of coming down that last fairway on a Sunday afternoon, the last group in the Open Championship," said the Northern Irishman with a U.S. Open trophy already to his credit.
|More on British Open
|Related links
|More golf coverage
McDowell is becoming a regular feature on these major stages. Sunday will mark the third time in three years and the second straight major that he's gone out last on Sunday. He was the co-leader after 54 holes with Jim Furyk in the U.S. Open at Olympic last month, and he finished one putt short of forcing a playoff.
"I'm proud of myself to be in the last group in back-to-back major championships," said McDowell. "That's something I'll certainly be putting in the confidence bank."
McDowell may be trailing Adam Scott by four shots, but he certainly holds the experience card in the head-to-head matchup.
"I'm sure myself and Adam will be experiencing slightly different emotions tomorrow," McDowell said. "But it will all boil down to the same thing. It will boil down to pressure. It will boil down to being scared, probably of failing more than winning. I can't really relate to what Adam is feeling because he's a hell of a player, and he's been a hell of a player for a very long time. He's got the unfortunate burden of never having won a major championship. But come the first tee tomorrow, that burden will kind of be irrelevant, a little bit, because like I say, we'll both be experiencing the same kind of nerves."
McDowell's experience handling those nerves certainly came in handy on Saturday when his round was going the wrong way in the first seven holes and he seemed ready to check out early after failing to birdie the par-5 seventh hole.
That's when his caddie, Ken Comboy, had to whisper the right words to put the Ulsterman in grind mode.
"I kind of felt the tournament perhaps slipping away from me a little bit and really had to dig deep for some patience and try to sort of put things in perspective, really, that if I could pick a few up from there I would be right back there in the hunt," said McDowell.
"I've got a great man on the bag who keeps me on the straight and narrow, who keeps me thinking correctly when I need to, when I'm walking down the eighth fairway ready to throw something in the nearest bush because I'm feeling the British Open getting away from me. And he's the guy that says, be patient, a couple of birdies and we're back in this thing."
That's just what McDowell did, making birdies on 8, 13, 14 and 17 to steal the shotgun seat away from Tiger Woods.
It was not dissimilar to the performance he made on Sunday at Olympic when he shot 4-over on the front nine before settling down and making a late challenge.
"The roller coaster that I experienced at Olympic, I guess you've always got to be patient, you've always got to be accepting, and that's what I'll try and do tomorrow," he said.
McDowell walked away from his runner-up finish to Webb Simpson with confidence instead of second-guessing.
"If you compare the final rounds of myself and Jim Furyk at Olympic, I was probably able to walk away a lot more positive than perhaps Jim was," McDowell said. "Jim had it right there and just didn't get the job done the last three holes. I kind of blew mine early doors. I battled really hard on the back nine to give myself a glimmer of hope, and it was only a glimmer.
"But in a way I was able to accept my disappointment a lot quicker because by the time I got to the 10th tee I'd nearly kind of written myself off and kind of shook it all off and finished positively."
Even sitting four back of Scott doesn't seem so grim for Graeme because of how he won his U.S. Open at Pebble Beach in 2010. He started the final round three behind leader Dustin Johnson and watched that gap disappear in only two holes.
"I'm in a very similar position to what I was at Pebble," he said. "He's going to be the guy who's going to sleep on the lead tonight. He's going to be the guy with all the pressure. And what I did at Pebble was just keep my head down for 11 or 12 holes and just come up for air and see where I'm at and refocus and get the head back down again."
Scott, however, is no easy mark. While a major title still eludes the gifted Australian, he's won big events at both the Players Championship and the WGC-Bridgestone. Two years ago he surged into the lead on the back nine at the Masters only to get passed by Charl Schwartzel's four-birdie finishing kick.
But the Masters doesn't have the kind of wind that is forecasted to kick up -- finally -- on Sunday and it doesn't have the kind of rough or bunkers that can ruin a scorecard in a hurry.
McDowell is counting on a little help from Mother Nature.
"I guess in a way it will be in Adam's hands tomorrow if the conditions are as straightforward as they have been the last few days," he said. "Throw a bit of wind across this course like perhaps they are forecasting, he will have to go and work a lot harder and he will have to go win it. ... But I'm happy to be looking the guy in the eye tomorrow, and it will be a great battle. There's a lot of quality names behind us, as well, and just looking forward to the challenge."
Seeing reigning Open champion Darren Clarke tweeting pictures of his family enjoying his last days with the claret jug, McDowell sent his countryman a message last week.
"I said to him, I've got a funny feeling that we'll maybe be bringing that claret jug back to Northern Ireland next week," McDowell said. "I was talking really from the opportunities that myself and him and
If dreams play a part, McDowell may have a keener picture of what's in store. As a Northern Irishman, the Open Championship is the focus of childhood fantasies and McDowell has certainly visualized a favorable outcome.
"It may have crossed my mind from time to time," he said with a smile. "There's no doubt I think we all read books about how powerful the brain is, and if you feed the brain with good thoughts and good images, it's fairly good at delivering.
"I'm probably not the only man in this field that's thought about picking the claret jug up, and a few of these guys have had the opportunity to do it a few times. But there's no doubt I can pretty much imagine what it would feel like. I've already thought about a few various liquids that I'd like to put in there and taste what they might taste like out of the claret jug.
"But like I say, I'm not the only man that wants this thing tomorrow. And like I say, all I can do is dream big, and I certainly will be dreaming big tonight."

Man sentenced to 99 years
A Gladewater man has been sentenced to 99 years in prison for aggravated sexual assault of a child. Dennis Wayne Rogers, 33, was convicted of the Class 1 Felony last week in the Smith County 241st District Court; since the offense was shown to have been continuous sexual assault of a child, Rogers will serve without possibility of parole, said Whitehouse Detective Kevin Huckabee.

College Hockey:Team Effort: Dartmouth Takes Ledyard Title
HANOVER, N.H. — Talk is cheap, but it's also proving invaluable for Dartmouth.
Making a concerted effort to increase their communication level, the 20th-ranked Big Green claimed the championship of their own Ledyard National Bank Classic last night with a 4-2 win over Bemidji State at Thompson Arena. Four different Dartmouth skaters scored and 11 contributed a point as the Big Green (8-4-0) won their own tourney for the first time since 2004.
The Big Green never trailed and essentially clinched the game on goals a shade over a minute apart from Matt Reber late in the second stanza and Josh Gillam early in the third.
"We're trying to get that out of them," Big Green coach Bob Gaudet said. "It's such a huge part. When we don't have that during practices, where we really hone this stuff, we try to stop things and make them be vocal. … I think they're getting comfortable with each other in their communicating. We just want to try to keep things positive."
Jody O'Neill stopped 25 shots for the victory. O'Neill joined teammates Connor Shields, Connor Goggin and MVP Kyle Reeds on the all-tournament team. Reeds earned top honors for his two shorthanded goals in Sunday's 5-4 overtime defeat of Army; he also started the play that led to Reber's eventual game-winning goal against the Beavers (8-8-0).
"Obviously, right now, it's a little bit of a bitter pill, but we also lost to a better team, too," Bemidji State coach Tom Serratore said. "They're a quick team, a skilled team, they're a big team. I really like their team."
Shields got Dartmouth started by one-timing a Nick Walsh pass to cap a two-on-one at 11:34 of the first period. Goggin doubled his lead with a cannon of a slap shot that beat BSU netminder Matt Dalton (21 saves) on the power play at 8:28 of the second.
The Beavers' Matt Francis chipped home a Brandon Marino feed on the man-up just 41/2 minutes later. Reber and Gillam put the game out of reach, Reber finished a crease-edge pass from Troy Mattila at 19:21 of the second and Gillam at the tail end of a fine three-on-two counter with Scott Fleming and Joe Gaudet 22 seconds into the third period.
Bemidji pounded O'Neill with 13 shots in the final stanza, but defender Brad Hunt's extra-attacker goal with 2:56 to play was all the visitors would manage.
Massachusetts beat Army in yesterday's consolation game, 4-1. The Minutemen's Cory Quirk doing the Dartmouth quartet and BSU's Marino and Cody Bostock on the all-tournament team.

Our society's fascination with vampires has just spilled over to People magazines's hottest bachelor. According to People on June 30, this year's hottest bachelor is Joe Manganiello, better known as Alcide in the HBO series "True Blood."
Definitely hot and sexy, the 6'5" hunk works out twice a day, six days a week to keep that body that women admire so much. The intense stare and sculpted face don't hurt his appeal either.
How could Joe Manganiello still be single looking like that? He says he knows what he's looking for in a woman, but hasn't found it yet. "I am part Sicilian. I am passionate. I am a hot-blooded person. If you don't like spicy, then maybe I'm not for you."
"I think the crazy love that you fall into in the beginning turns into 'like' and 'need.' Chris Rock told me that!" says the Pittsburgh native. "He's like, 'Kid, you wanna get married? Listen, there's love, and you can feel love the first night, but that's not what it is. It's, 'I like you and I need you.' "
What does Joe like about women? Well, pretty much everything, but would you believe he likes to smell them? "I'm big into smell. It's funny I got cast as a werewolf. There's something about the smell on that part of a woman's neck where it meets the jaw, ahhhh! It's heaven." Joe says that no matter what, "I'm at my best when I have someone to wake up next to."
For those who enjoyed Joe in "Magic Mike," he's set to come back as Big Dick Richie in the "Magic Mike" sequel. He's also making his directorial debut in the same genre with a new documentary entitled "La Bare," described by IMDB as an insider's look at the history, lives and culture of the most popular male strip club in the world, La Bare Dallas.
Who were some of the others in the top 10? Numbers two through 10, in order, were Jared Leto, Sam Smith, Ian Somerhalder, Usher, Ricky Martin, Liam Hemsworth, Steven R. McQueen, Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, and Prince Harry.
You can read a lot more about Joe Manganiello in the current issue of People magazine.

Pop group Fifth Harmony's latest single "Bo$$" debuted on Billboard's Hot 100 chart this week. The empowering track entered the chart at no. 43, Billboard reported on Thursday (July 17). This marks Fifth Harmony's highest charting track on Billboard since last year's "Miss Movin' On."
"Bo$$" is the lead single from Fifth Harmony's forthcoming debut album. The ladies of 5H - Ally Brooke, Normani Kordei, Lauren Jauregui, Camila Cabello, and Dinah Jane Hansen - sidestepped the pure pop of their debut EP "Better Together" for booming hip-hop beats on "Bo$$." They make their declaration of independence as women who can make a living for themselves. "Working for my money 'cause that's what my momma taught me / So yo a** better show me some respect," the members sing in solidarity.
Fifth Harmony finished in third place during season two of FOX's now-defunct series "The X Factor" U.S. The group made history among the alumni on the show when it nabbed the highest charting single on Billboard's Hot 100 last year with "Miss Movin' On." The single peaked at no. 76, which at the time was the furthest any contestant from "The X Factor" U.S. reached on the weekly singles chart.
"Bo$$" easily outpaced "Miss Movin' On" on Billboard's Hot 100 this week when the former debuted at no. 43. This marks Fifth Harmony's second entry on the chart as well as the group's highest charting track. The ladies broke their own "The X Factor" U.S. record with "Bo$$" now claiming the highest peak on the Hot 100 chart among show alumni. Fifth Harmony continues its streak as the most successful act to emerge from former FOX singing competition.
Fifth Harmony's "Bo$$" single is now available on iTunes. The group's debut album is expected to be released later this year.

Feeling but not seeing...
Friday, February 08, 2013
It's been a good week. I'm finishing up my 7th since I started trying to behave, my 3rd truly active week. The water workouts are awesome. I found my stroke faster than I thought I would. I still choke on the water from time to time but considering I was never a great lap swimmer, I'm happy with my progress. Water aerobics and the current loop are great additions to the laps. I'm loving it so much I'm going to try to get there 3 times per week instead of the 2 I swore I'd do if I signed up.
I've hit the track to walk at the gym a couple times too but overdid it Tuesday. It may still be too much to work all day and get any sort of impact workout in the evening. My abs are cramping regularly. Between the swimming, the exercise ball and standing at my computer they aren't getting much rest. I'm coping though and will keep searching for a level that works for my current abilities. At least it's been over a week since I came home and fell asleep. That bodes well for my increasing energy level.
I'm starting to feel strong and capable. I still have a lot of weight to lose before I look the part, though. The thing I find about being really obese is that I can put on 30-40 pounds and it isn't terribly obvious so people don't stare or comment much. On the down side, when you lose 30-40 lbs, people don't notice either. Even I have trouble seeing it.
I know that it WILL happen if I stick with this plan. I'm coming to terms with the possibility that I might miss my big goal but still have an argument for skipping surgery. If I lose 80 lbs in 18 months instead of 100, and if that loss is fairly consistent from week to week, then I'm not really a surgical candidate. Especially if I build muscle. I've never gone 18 months straight not gaining weight so that would truly be winning a big battle. I can see that when I make myself think about it rationally and not dream about what could be if the stars align and everything goes perfectly. I may be better off focusing on consistency than a weight loss goal.
One of the things I CAN see is that I'm a nicer person when I eat well and exercise. Even on my low energy days I can find a smile faster. I am getting more done around the house. I am seeing higher numbers on my trackers. I am seeing signs of success when I look in the right places. I need to hang onto those.

Missing Chicago student Pravin Varughese was found dead Tuesday, according to CBS Chicago on Feb. 18. The Southern Illinois University student had gone missing last Wednesday, and after an intense search authorities indicate he was found not far from SIU.
The last anyone saw of missing Chicago student Pravin Varughese, he had been at a party, then accepted a ride from someone. The two apparently got into an altercation and Varughese is said to have run off into the woods. At this point, authorities believe he likely got lost and froze to death. Foul play is not suspected.
Varughese's last tweet indicated that he had bloody knuckles and had gotten into a fight. The person who had given him a ride, and is believed to be the last person who had seen him alive, did not come forward to authorities about the incident until days after Varughese went missing. Autopsy results are pending, and the investigation into the formerly missing Chicago student Pravin Varughese continues.

Lad slashed with blade during Notting Hill Carnival family day fun
10:23 27 August 2012
A teenager was slashed with a blade in the most serious incident during day one of the Notting Hill Carnival.
Metropolitan Police said the incident happened in Golbourne Gardens in Kensington at around 5.15pm yesterday (Saturday).
Officers made 96 arrests during the course of family day at Europe's biggest street carnival - mainly for drug and public order offences as well as robbery and assault.
London ambulance crews treated 67 people during the day for a variety of complaints.
Today (Sunday) sees an extra 2,000 police officers deployed. Around 7,000 will patrol the carnival with stop and search powers.
Commander Christine Jones warned revellers to look after their valuables: "Mobile phones, especially expensive ones, are a glittering prize for thieves," she said.
"Don't give them a head start by displaying them openly and only use them if it's absolutely necessary. Pick up one of our maps instead and pre arrange meeting points with family and friends."

The Dangerous Life Cycle of Bed Bugs
ThermalRid knows that you can't live with bed bugs; our method for killing bed bugs in Tennessee and Alabama is effective and stops the dangerous cycle of bed bug infestation.
Did you know that bedbugs hatch and grow to be reproductive adults in as little as 21 days?
It's important to get the situation under control and kill bed bugs quickly.
After hatching, bed bugs mature through five nymph stages. Each nymph must feed on blood to mature to the next stage. While bedbugs can feed on other animals, they much prefer humans as their host.
Bedbugs can inhabit not only beds but also virtually any crack or crevice in any room. They are especially adept at hiding in the floor under wood moldings at the unseen edges of carpet, making it hard to kill bed bugs using traditional methods.
Don't waste your money on store bought products, ThermalRid's professional treatment kills bed bugs in the Nashville area effectively and is affordable.
All stages of bed bug nymphs and adults feed on human blood.
Bed bugs are very good at being mobile; they can travel in luggage, clothes, shoes, purses, laptop computers, briefcases, virtually anything a bed bug can crawl into, it will.
It is almost impossible to stay in an infested hotel room or home and not carry adult bed bugs or nymphs home with you to Tennessee or Alabama. You would never know you are carrying the unwanted bed bug home to your family. This is exactly the way the bed bug epidemic has spread.
Call ThermalRid today for effective treatment of bed bugs in Nashville, Alabama and the rest of Tennessee, and stop the epidemic before it overtakes your home and your life.
Do you have bed bugs? Learn more about the bed bug epidemic with the History of Bed Bug Management and the ICPMR Bed Bugs Fact Sheet.

Low Or High Intesity Cardio For Weight Loss
|walking as low cardio workout
Have you ever wondered which cardio workout routines are finest for burning off additional physique fats? Is walking (low intensity) better or operating (high intensity) higher for burning body fat?
Nicely, each high and low intensity workouts will assist you to burn off body fat. The question is which is more effective and burn extra physique fat. What's your fats burning zone?
When scientists first reported that during intensive workouts, your physique burn glycogen, which is a type of saved carbohydrates stored in your liver and muscles for power and during low intensive workout routines, your body burn physique fats, everybody immediately change their exercise routines to perform low depth workouts to burn body fat.
Does it work? Clearly it doesn't work because there are nonetheless so many fat individuals around though they're figuring out with low depth exercises isn't it? Why is that so?
Effectively, the scientists had been right when they mentioned that our our bodies burn more physique fat throughout low depth exercises like strolling or a leisurely swim. However during a excessive depth exercise like operating, our our bodies burn a lot more calories. Even if among the energy burnt are from glycogen, we'll nonetheless burn many fat energy as well.
To add icing to the cake, when your store of glycogen is low, the carbs from your meal you eat later will get transformed into glycogen to fill up the store and won't be converted to physique fat when left unused for energy.
Moreover, high intensity cardio workouts crank up your metabolism even after your workout is done. Which means that you physique will continue to burn body fats hours after you may have left the gym. This impact is sort of non existent in low intensity cardio or cardio workout. Accumulatively, your body burns up many many extra energy throughout and after excessive intensity cardio workouts than lower intensive ones.
You'll be able to inject high depth exercises to your cardio workout by introducing some interval training. You possibly can walk briskly for five minutes, then breaking into a jog for one more 5 minutes. Then strolling briskly once more till you caught your breath and then dash for a minute earlier than strolling once more for an additional minute. From this level, alternate between a sprint and a walk, a minute each and do this for the following quarter-hour and you might be done.
Do that for five days per week and before long, you will be steadily dropping undesirable body fat and weight healthily and naturally.

It's the next best thing to sneaking into Cuba. Practice your Spanish, drink café con leche, buy Santeria candles and view quirky architecture painted tropical colors. It's a lively urban scene, by day or night. Little Havana awaits, in downtown Miami.
Unless you want to melt to the sidewalk, visit when the sun is low on the horizon -- November through April -- when it's generally sunny, in the 70's or 80's. This allows you to avoid the rainy hurricane season.
Fly into Miami airport. Rent a car, or take a cab. Little Havana basically runs down SW 8th Street ("Calle Ocho") between 12th and 17th Avenues, south and west of downtown.
The more adventurous can get the number 5 bus from Miami center, or take the Metro Rail to the Brickell Station and catch a connecting bus. Helpful hint: avenues run north to south, streets from east to west.
Little Havana is becoming a magnet for the young, the hip, the artistic. The last Friday evening of every month is "Viernes Culturales," with three venues of open artist studios, and a shuttle bus between the sites. The restaurants along Calle Ocho are all hopping, with music spilling onto the street. An outdoor, live music stage can be found next to the recently renovated, local landmark, Tower Theater (where first run films have Spanish subtitles).
The first Saturday of every month is "Surreal Saturday" at the experimental performance arena, Space 742 (Tel: 305-643-6611). From seven till midnight there are four featured performances of music, dance, theater and poetry inside, and a DJ artist scratching tunes outside. Just short of bliss when the moon is full.

The NSA story keeps breaking, with the latest revelation that the NSA paid RSA, a subsidiary of EMC, with a deep history in computer and internet security to implement and sell faulty encryption technology to its own clients. The December 2013 Reuters story has sent companies here and abroad scrambling to distance themselves from RSA and has seriously undermined consumer confidence in U.S.-based data encryption software providers at-large.
In September 2013, The New York Times released a statement from the NSA which confirmed that the agency was working to, "break widely used Internet encryption technologies." That admission wasn't the kicker, but rather that the agency had resorted to buying the complicity of a company dedicated to protecting customer data security. Moreover, the story of RSA's involvement has a bright patina of irony to it in that in the 1990s the company successfully prevented NSA from embedding a sophisticated "spying chip" in all computing hardware.
The software used, Bsafe, was a landmark in data encryption, in that it was the first to successfully implement two-key encryption. In a secret deal with the NSA, RSA was paid $10 million to inculcate an algorithm - called Dual Eliptic Curve - that generates flawed, random numbers in its Bsafe technology, and, get this, call it the "preferred" option. This gave NSA a backdoor into the company's tokens.
The Cost of Giving It UP
The company denies direct complicity, alleging that they were "duped", and advised its customers to stop using the corrupt algorithm (after the story leaked), but the damage is, as they say, done. The RSA sponsored cyber security-conference to be held in San Francisco this February continues to lose keynote speakers. Boeing lost a multi-billion dollar contract with Brazil, as a result of the NSA's spying. And across the cyber-sphere, analysts predict a tsunami backlash from European businesses with customers that expect their data to adhere to the EU's considerably greater regard for individual privacy.
A Firefox executive recently encouraged security researchers to regularly audit Firefox's source code, which is open source, in the hopes that the global community will help catch and arrest attempts to insert surveillance code into its browser. If this sounds paranoid, it's worth noting that a small email company named Lavabit recently revealed that the U.S. government had requested information on its customers and then silenced them with a gag order.
Blocking the Backdoor
Most data encryption providers work with the National Institute of Science and Technology (NIST), an agency which provides industry-leading guidance on data encryption security, to ensure their cryptographic engines are safe to the highest industry standards (i.e., FIPS validated), but recent revelations are putting a spotlight on the nature of the relationship between NIST and data encryption providers, in no small part because another revelation from former NSA contractor, Edward Snowden, suggest that random number generators used in a 2006 NIST standard — contains a back door for the N.S.A.
Winmagic (a private Canadian company), looked into the implicated NIST standard (Dual EC DRBG) and determined it had not, which was a welcome relief to the company and its customers. That notwithstanding, speculation about the NSA's ability to hack into the data encryption industry's toughest fortresses, such as 256-bit AES encryption, run rampant. Fortunately, the degree of layered encryption this provides would require the kind of effort that could take years to complete. And now that data encryption companies are on to the NSA's latest backdoor trick, they are focusing their efforts on staying one step ahead of the curve.
