Parking up for the night
Report Abuse
I found this link that has a section down the page on campers.

Thank yiu for your reply. If anyone knows of any more out of the way places, villages near to park up that would be great also
Report Abuse
basically wild camping in Spain is illegal. Some towns/cities have laws about sleeping in motorhomes too. You should find legal sites and use them.
I think you will find the same in Portugal too.
This is in Spanish but gives you areas where one can park overnight and areas where you can discharge tanks etc.
Do not to forget that some roads in Portugal are tolled by electronic "tags". Non Portuguese registered vehicles usually pay the tolls by purchasing paper tickets Read more here.
Report Abuse
Parking is difficult in Donostia and there are no camper parks in the city for overnight parking. You will probably have to park at one of the campsites. Parking in the summer is always a challenge.

The Op is asking for some ideas "more out of the way places, villages near to park up" Thank you for your helpful posting again Robert.

This work presents the architecture and implementation of an analog processor, which in a way akin to a digital microprocessor, embodies a physical model of the universal Turing machine. The analog microprocessor (AμP) executes software programs, while nevertheless operating on analog sampled data values. This enables the design of mixed-mode systems which retain the speed/area/power advantages of the analog signal processing paradigm, while being fully programmable general-purpose systems. A proof-of-concept integrated circuit has been implemented in 0.8-μm CMOS technology, using switched-current techniques. Experimental results from fabricated chips are presented and examples of the application of the AμP's in image processing are given

Laurelton Hall, Country Estate of Louis Comfort Tiffany, to be Featured in Major Fall 2006 Metropolitan Museum Exhibition
Between 1902 and 1905, on more than 600 acres overlooking Long Island Sound, the noted American artist and designer Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848-1933) built his dream home, an extraordinary country estate called Laurelton Hall. Every aspect of the project was designed by Tiffany himself, from the exotic 84-room, eight-level house surrounded by fountains, pools, and terraced gardens to the stables, tennis courts, greenhouses, chapel, studio, and art gallery also located on the property. Often cited as Tiffany's most important work, Laurelton Hall was destroyed by fire in 1957. Surviving architectural elements and windows salvaged by Hugh F. and Jeannette G. McKean are now part of the collections of the museum Mrs. McKean founded, The Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art in Winter Park, Florida. The monumental four-column loggia with its colorful glass and pottery floral capitals was saved from Laurelton Hall and has graced the American Wing's Charles Engelhard Court since 1980, a gift of Mr. and Mrs. McKean.
On Photography: A Tribute to Susan Sontag
A major force in New York intellectual life for more than 40 years, the novelist, essayist, and critic Susan Sontag (1933-2004) was renowned for her brilliant and impassioned writing on photography. From June 6 through September 3, 2006, The Metropolitan Museum of Art will present an exhibition of some 40 photographs that celebrate Sontag's contribution to the history of the medium, featuring works from the Metropolitan's collection by a wide range of artists, including Julia Margaret Cameron, Edward Steichen, Eugène Atget, Walker Evans, Edward Weston, Robert Frank, Andy Warhol, and Peter Hujar.
Rembrandt Drawings and Prints, A Selection in Honor of the Artist's 400th Birthday
The Metropolitan Museum of Art celebrates the 400th birthday of Rembrandt Harmensz van Rijn with the display of a selection of 58 drawings and prints from its extensive collection of works by the great 17th-century Dutch master and artists of his school. Forty-four of the works on view are by Rembrandt himself. The exhibition has been drawn primarily from the holdings of the Museum's Department of Drawings and Prints and the Robert Lehman Collection. One sheet, a charcoal sketch of a lioness, has been borrowed from a New York private collection.
Americans in Paris, 1860–1900
In the late 19th century, American artists by the hundreds – including such luminaries as James Abbott McNeill Whistler, John Singer Sargent, Mary Cassatt, Thomas Eakins, and Winslow Homer – were drawn irresistibly to Paris to learn to paint and to establish their reputations. The world's artistic epicenter, Paris inspired decisive changes in American painters' styles and subjects, and stimulated the creation of newly sophisticated art schools and professional standards back in the United States.
AngloMania: Tradition and Transgression in British Fashion
AngloMania: Tradition and Transgression in British Fashion, opening on May 3, 2006, will present a wide range of works by British designers in The Metropolitan Museum's English Period Rooms – The Annie Laurie Aitken Galleries. A pendant to the acclaimed 2004 Costume Institute exhibition Dangerous Liaisons: Fashion and Furniture in the 18th Century, AngloMania will examine ideals, stereotypes, and representations of Englishness by juxtaposing historical costume with late 20th- and early 21st-century fashions.
Renowned Chinese-born Artist Cai Guo-Qiang to Create 2006 Installation for Metropolitan Museum's Roof Garden
Cai Guo-Qiang, the acclaimed Chinese-born artist known internationally for his elaborate sculpture installations and gunpowder projects, has been invited to create a site-specific exhibition for the 2006 season of The Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Roof Garden at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. The four works comprising Cai Guo-Qiang on the Roof: Transparent Monument were inspired by the dramatic setting of the Roof Garden, an open-air space atop the Lila Acheson Wallace Wing that offers spectacular views of Central Park and the Manhattan skyline, and by the artist's reactions to issues of present-day concern.
Kara Walker Exhibition at Metropolitan – Inspired by Hurricane Katrina - Explores Theme of "After the Deluge" through Works by Artists through the Ages
In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, contemporary American artist Kara Walker (b. 1969) – widely recognized for her explorations of issues of race, gender, and sexuality through the 18th-century medium of cut-paper silhouettes – has selected a variety of objects from the Museum's collection and from her own work in order to explore, in her words, "the banality of everyday life, water, and its impact." The exhibition, entitled Kara Walker at the Met: After the Deluge, will be on view from March 21 through July 30.
Sight Unseen: Photographs from the Gilman Collection
The Metropolitan Museum of Art is now presenting Sight Unseen: Photographs from the Gilman Collection as part of its continuing series of installations of works from its recent landmark acquisition of 8,500 photographs spanning the first hundred years of the medium. The photographs in the exhibition have never been shown publicly at the Metropolitan and will remain on view through May 21, 2006.
Works by French Romantic Painter Displayed in Girodet: Romantic Rebel at Metropolitan Museum
Girodet: Romantic Rebel is the first retrospective in the United States devoted to this celebrated French artist, Anne-Louis Girodet-Trioson, a favored but rebellious student of Jacques-Louis David. Girodet's idiosyncratic style fuses David's Neoclassical ideal with his own prescient Romantic vision. The exhibition brings together approximately 110 paintings and works on paper that reflect the artist's originality and the diversity of his works, from mythological subjects to portraits and representations of Napoleon's military triumphs.Girodet will be on view at The Metropolitan Museum of Art from May 24 through August 27, 2006.
A Taste for Opulence: Sèvres Porcelain from the Collection
A Taste for Opulence: Sèvres Porcelain from the Collection presents a selection of objects such as vases, dinner and tea services, furniture decorated with porcelain plaques, and other luxurious wares produced in the 18th century by the Sèvres porcelain factory. Established in the Château of Vincennes just outside Paris in 1740, the factory quickly became the preeminent producer of porcelain in Europe. Supported in its early years by the patronage of Louis XV, the factory was named the manufacture du roi in 1753 and was purchased by the king in 1759. Catering in large part to the tastes of the court, the factory strove for constant innovation and originality throughout the 18th century, frequently employing the leading artists and designers of the day to provide models and inspiration for the factory's artisans. A Taste for Opulence, which focuses on the diversity of the factory's production, will include approximately 90 objects drawn entirely from the Museum's superb holdings of Sèvres porcelain and from its unparalleled collection of 18th-century French furniture decorated with Sèvres plaques. The exhibition will be on view from February 21 through August 13, 2006.

H.sapiens, Songhua River Mammoth, African Elephant
The largest elephant that ever lived was huge, taller than your two-story Mayfair flat and almost as tall as the average telephone pole. Evolved from smaller Siberian mammoths, the Songhua River Mammoth roamed Northern China and Inner Mongolia during the Middle Pleistocene about 280,000 years ago. It survived into the Late Pleistocene but died out well before the end of the last ice age.
Image: Institute of Geology, Chinese Academy of Geological Science
Songhua River Mammoth Skull
Fossils of the Songhua River Mammoth are rare. The largest mammals in any group are never common because several factors set limits on population numbers. An elephant of this size would have a long maturation period, and breed slowly with only one or two offspring born at one time. Daily caloric requirements – pounds of grass and other fodder – would be huge and require that these huge beasts eat continuously 24/7. Brunch with second and third portions at no extra charge would have been a requirement every day of the week.
Image: Institute of Geology, Chinese Academy of Geological Science
Songhua River Mammoth Skeleton
There is an original Songhua River Mammoth in the Inner Mongolia Museum, which was constructed from the remains of two individuals. A skeleton of a large male in a Japanese museum is 17 ft tall and 30 ft long from tip of the trunk to tip of the tail. Estimated weight is 10 tonnes and the metrics of this huge male represent maximum size for the Songhua River Mammoth. In China, there is a Songhua Mammoth skeleton on exhibit at the Daging Museum that is a 13-14 year old male from the late Upper Pleistocene with a body length of 6m and height of 3.5m. It was found in 2003 and is nearly identical to that in a museum in Shenzhen.

Today, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker has signed into law two important hunting initiatives. Assembly Bill 311, sponsored by state Representative Jim Steineke (R-5), and Senate Bill 411, sponsored by state Senator Terry Moulton (R-23), passed by large bipartisan majorities in both houses of the state legislature and will help preserve Wisconsin's rich hunting heritage.
AB 311, the Hunting Heritage Act, will encourage the recruitment and retention of hunters and trappers through a many creative initiatives set forth in the bill. For example, AB 311 will reduce hunting fees to hunt small game, deer, and wild turkeys. Also, AB 311 will reduce fees and offer prizes for experienced hunters and trappers who recruit novices to share in Wisconsin's hunting heritage.
SB 411 will authorize the state Department of Natural Resources to establish a season for the regulated hunting of wolves in response to the long-overdue federal delisting of this species from the endangered species list.
This delisting recognizes the successful recovery of the gray wolf population in the Western Great Lakes Region. Hunters have served as an essential tool for the management of wildlife throughout this country and SB 411 will create a framework for managing the state's wolf population using this time-tested method. A scientifically-regulated hunting season will help to ensure balance between predator and prey populations.
SB 411 will allow a fixed number of wolf tags to be filled in a given year with half to be chosen by a lottery system and half by "preference points" given to those applicants who applied for but who were not issued a wolf harvesting license in previous seasons.
Thank you to Governor Walker for signing these bills into law and to the state Senators and Representatives who voted for them. Also, thank you to our members who contacted their state legislators in support of this pro-hunting legislation.

To quote one of my strong belief's, death of the body is only one way to die. To lose one's self either physically or mentally is just as great a death. When a man becomes a mouse, he loses all that he was, all that made the man a man is now gone. Is that man truly alive? I think not. When a man becomes a slave, all that he was is taken from him and he is reduced to something lesser, but if can maintain his sense of self, he has not lost what is truly invaluable. A fine depiction of such a death i think.
ummm....good but how is this "death" exactly
nice animation but in my opinion it made no sense at all
"what would you do if it was you?"
Guess I'd be eatin cheese :D
Nice art style.
I loved how you presented this flash in a semi-creepy fashion. A man under strange circumstances undergoes a metamorphosis from man into a rat like hybrid, Just by sniffing some cheese? The soundtrack was top notch in my opinion to enhance the mood of this flash short. I hope we see more unique styled art in the future from you. I'm bestowing upon you a perfect score, A perfect 10/10 and a solid 5/5. You've done very well, Keep up the good work and have a grand day!

I was wondering if anyone could help me with getting this working.
I'm using html to create a table which has at least 1 row but no max number of rows - as they can be added/removed by the user - and 4 columns, 1st contains a checkbox and the last 2 contain drop down menus.
I wish to be able to store the values of those menus in an array only if that row's checkbox has been checked. e.g if the first row has 1 and A as it's dropdown values and the second row has 2 and B. If only row 1 has been checked the array should only contain [1,A]. Instead mine holds all the values including the non-checked ones i.e [1,A,2,B].
My code for javascript function and html table are below:
Html code for table:Code:function calculate(textID){ var table = document.getElementById('course'); //id of table var rowCount = table.rows.length; var array = []; //array to hold the values var c = 0; dmenus = document.getElementByTagName("select"); //get the drop down menus for(var a = 1; a < rowCount; i++){ //a = 1 as the 1st row contains column headings var row = table.rows[a]; var check = row.cells[0].childNodes[0]; if(null != check && true == check.checked){ for(var b = 0; b < dmenus.length; b++){ val = dmenus[b].options[dmenus[b].selectedIndex].value; array[c] = val; //set index of array to equal value of dropdown box c++; } }else{ b++; } }
It works only for the first row but if there are more than 1 row it doesn't do what it's supposed to. The coding platform I'm working on does not seem to support jquery so javascript code will be most appreciated. ThanksCode:

 <input type="checkbox" name="ucheck" id="ucheck" onclick="checkAll('course')"/>	 Course Title	 Credits	 Grade

 <input type="checkbox" name="tick" id="tick"/>	 <input type="text"/>	  <select name="credits" id="credits"> <option...</select>	  <select name="grade" id="grade"> <option...

The Minnesota Department of Transportation has paid a $30,000 penalty for serious safety violations in the death of a local-area worker clearing floodwaters last spring. 39-year-old Michael Struck, of Cleveland died March 22nd when he was swept away as he used a backhoe to clear debris from culverts along Highway 169 near St. Peter. The tractor slid into a creek and the current pulled him through a culvert. His body was found the next day. The state's Occupational Safety and Health Division determined that Mn/DOT failed to ensure the backhoe was safely positioned and failed to ensure Struck was wearing a life jacket while working next to floodwaters. Mn/DOT says it has changed its practices to ensure it doesn't happen again.

Out There
Detention rock
The Donnas
Get Skintight
Lookout! Records
"Rock and Roll High School" is the Donnas' alma mater, but "Fuck School" is their anthem: The only thing these four gals ever studied was the history of three-chord punk--and most likely they skipped that class too, so they could smoke in the boys' room and drink behind the gym. Of course, you could go all the way back on the timeline--past Bikini Kill, past the Go-Go's, past the Runaways, all the way past Wanda Jackson--until you've landed in the blackboard jungle. When you get up to get down to it, theirs is a brand of juvenile-delinquent noise heard again and again ever since rock and roll wore diapers. Good for them...and so what? Get past the gimmick factor and novelty appeal--all four women go by the name Donna, and none is older than 20--and then ask yourself: Is this a retro ruse or The Real Thing? Probably a little of both, which keeps it interesting through a dozen listens, then renders it utterly disposable once you set it on the shelf.
Meaning: Every song sounds the same, more or less (except "Too Fast For Love," which somehow deepens the Mstley CrYe original's echoes). But this go-around, the gals invited Redd Kross' Jeff and Steve McDonald along for the ride (in the shag-carpeted van, no doubt, and don't come a-knockin') and ended up at a KISS concert. Meaning: The punk suddenly sounds more hair-metal, teased bigger and badder than anything found on American Teenage Rock N' Roll Machine or The Donnas. Meaning: Why aren't the Donnas opening for Great White and Ratt on their current Here Come the Dummies '99 tour? Maybe they're waiting for Gene Simmons to come calling.

And to think, the pre-release hype had it this was the record where the Donnas grow up, move out of the house, and start payin' taxes. Whatever, dude. "Skintight" finds the gals hangin' out at the 7-Eleven, trying to pick up some fine young stud standing by the Slurpee machine; "Hook it Up" documents what happens to dopers when the can of air freshener runs out; "Party Action" is what the girls crave when they catch some of yer fine-ass foosball moves; and in their bedrooms, they got "Cinderella on my TV / Video games killin' me / Posters of Ratt and Miami Vice / Doin' time with Ginger Spice." At its best, theirs is temper-tantrum rock, especially when boys they like won't like them back ("B-O-R-ing/Too bad you're not the boy for me," they sing in nyah-nyah unison). Somewhere, there's an eighth-grade girl writing the lyrics to "I Don't Like You Anyway" on the back of her Trapper Keeper, over and over. At its worst, this is the Runaways--but, like, with better songs. Seriously.

Ex still attached to wedding plans
DEAR MISS MANNERS – My ex and I parted ways last year, and he began seeing another woman shortly after. They are now engaged. While I wish him every happiness, I was surprised, to say the least, when I learned of some of their wedding plans.
While we were together, we had discussed possible wedding ideas, down to flowers, music and attire. After a recent chat with a mutual friend involved in the wedding, I learned that he has essentially applied one of our wedding plans to them! His attire was my idea, her dress is similar to my choice, she will walk down the aisle to our (former) song, and even her wedding bouquet is nearly identical, down to an unusual floral combination and ribbon inserts in my favorite color (a color she doesn't even like!)
As my invitation has been rescinded (at her request), I am unsure how to proceed. Am I allowed to ask them to change some of the wedding details? Or should I let him and the situation go?
GENTLE READER – He is going anyway. What possible satisfaction could you have from hanging onto the bouquet design?
Don't tell Miss Manners that you planned to use it in case you marry someone else; you have already made it clear that you consider the plans to be symbolic of your broken romance.
Her guess is that the bridegroom was asked for wedding ideas and came up with these, ignoring or forgetting that he had developed them with you. Do you really want to show him that you have more emotional attachment to your joint plans, now canceled, than he does?
But as you do feel that, Miss Manners would think that you would take satisfaction from knowing that the bride is wearing a color she dislikes under the impression that it is her bridegroom's favorite, when it is really yours.
DEAR MISS MANNERS – I have been playing in a weekly mahjong game (similar to cards) for several years. Of the six regular players, three of them repeatedly take cell phone calls from their teenage children during the game. None of these calls could be considered even close to an emergency and are of a trivial nature (e.g. their latest test score, they need more contact lenses, etc).
The offending players make all of us hold up play and listen to discussions lasting one or two minutes. One woman takes at least three phone calls an afternoon. The game only lasts for three hours.
I have tried modeling the correct etiquette when I have received an occasional call by quickly telling the caller that I was busy at the moment but would call them back later. I have tried to make a joke about how I've trained my family to not disturb the sacred time of mahjong. Nobody seems to get the hint. Is there anything I can say that will encourage my friends to keep their cell phone conversations to a minimum?
GENTLE READER – As a player of games, and a member of a group that meets regularly, you know about rules. Miss Manners suggests that you pick a time when you have not been so interrupted to make the general proposal that outside distractions, whether online shopping or telephone calls, not be allowed during the game.

Prince of Peace - In this crisis, turn to Jesus
To the editor:
The monstrous attacks on New York City and Washington are an astounding example of mankind's fall into sin and the forces of evil at work in this world.
The fall was not a one-time event. It continues to happen. It is an ongoing process, a downward trajectory, that shapes every moment of our lives.
To deal with such sin and evil in the civil world, God has given us civil authorities -- President Bush and our government -- to promote peace and order and to provide protection for the American people. Along with our prayers for the thousands of victims of these attacks and their loved ones, we pray for our leaders that they may learn who is responsible and take the appropriate action.
In times of crisis, we encourage all to turn their eyes to Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace, who works peace in men's hearts and among the people of the earth who trust in him.

Although technology can sometimes be an evil vice that dominates our lives, it can also be a means to capturing (and sharing) beautiful moments, we never would have seen other wise.
Today, I had the pleasure of viewing this awesome clip of a mama whale and her calf, swimming happily and freely in their home—the ocean. The following words formed in mind after I watched the video:
Is this not the way things should be?
Families united, together at sea
Frolicking happily, fluking with glee.
Mama and baby, side by side
Siblings and cousins, swimming in stride
Families together, freely may roam
Deep in the ocean, the place they call home.
A peaceful existence, while swimming free
Is this not the way things should be?
The aerial footage was captured by a camera mounted on a drone, and it is incredible. Please take two minutes to witness this beautiful scene.

In October of 1962, during the buildup to the Cuban Missile Crisis, a debate between Adlai Stevenson and Valerian Alexandrovich Zorin at the United Nations Security Council, revealed how far the U.S. was willing to go to produce evidence that the Soviet Union was indeed stockpiling tactical nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles in North America. The Soviets, reluctance to be truthful "in the court of world opinion", forced the hand of the U.S. to produce the very intelligence that the Soviets' claimed the U.S. did not have. Once the overhead photos of the missiles were shared publicly, the Soviets immediately countered that the imagery was fake. We knew the truth then and we know it today, the Soviets had been caught in their lie.
What we saw this week was very similar to what we saw in 1962. What is most interesting in this case is that the bombshell was not dropped in a stuffy chamber full of wrinkly policy makers, nor was it used by the administration to draw a hard line under Executive Order 13636 that President Obama signed last week. No, the story was brought to light by a single, private sector entity using unclassified information that was publicly available for anyone to put together. By doing so, a precedent has been set. Finally, the veil has been lifted. Now, the public was able take a glimpse at an unseen threat that many within the security industry have been following closely for nearly a decade. A complex, intangible idea has a face, or rather a building, attached to it.
So what does this mean? Is this good, bad or somewhere in the middle?
Operational Caveat:
Since 13 February, Cyber Squared's ThreatConnect.com has detected an unknown security research group, (believed to be Mandiant) sink-holing known "Comment Group" command and control infrastructure to a variety of named Virtual Private Servers (VPS) ahead of their 19 February report release. All "Comment Group" infrastructure has been freely available to vetted ThreatConnect users since November 2012.
The Pros:
Unfortunately, there are no lanes in the road that point out clear-cut standards by which organizations can measure if they are responsibly or irresponsibly disclosing cyber threat information. While not everyone supports public disclosures of this nature, we can look at both sides of what has occurred and find the benefits and cost of this massive disclosure.
PRO1: Finally an organization has developed a public attribution picture, publicly naming and shaming China for behavior that many have observed internationally for over a decade.
PRO2: A precedent has now been set for the entire security community; there are many others who have chosen to hold off on disclosing details of attacks or operationalizing infrastructure take downs out of concerns with tipping the threat actors and forcing them to change their TTPs and operational security. Now a green-light has been given to disclose similar details and to unilaterally act to take down large chunks of malicious infrastructure associated with APT's.
PRO3: The United States Government (USG) appears to have handed over the issue of Chinese cyber espionage to commercial industry. Some may argue that this level of disclosure should only be part of an official USG response. However, allowing industries to self-regulate and establish norms of internet behavior may serve as a more efficient way to manage threats of this nature.
PRO4: This now gives the security industry something to measure against. Not only can the industry observe and measure how "Comment Group" will respond to the disclosure, but also their reactions to sweeping sinkhole operations in addition to target reacquisition efforts. The industry can also pay attention to general responses from other Chinese APT groups.
PRO5: A disclosure at this level raises the issue of nation state sponsored or sanctioned cyber espionage to a larger audience, keeping the issue in the spotlight and increasing overall global awareness of the threat posed by Chinese cyber espionage.
The Cons:
On the flipside, despite the new opportunities that this may present the industry, there are untold numbers of secondary effects that could come to light because of this disclosure.
CON1: The USG appears to be sidestepping a strategic national policy issue by allowing a commercial entity to assume all of the risk by acting as the mouthpiece that may influence U.S.-China relations. If the USG is to send a message, it needs to send it unequivocally with no appearance of a puppet.
CON2: This may increase the precedent for foreign governments or non-U.S. companies that wish to embarrass the U.S. or western allies by attributing details of other sophisticated threats to western powers.
CON3: "Comment Group", while quite effective, could be considered "low hanging fruit". There were many "eyes on" from across the global security community which were actively monitoring the threat. Many organizations that had adequate visibility of "Comment Group" infrastructure, capabilities and operations now find themselves exposed to the unknown. Assuming a Chinese military intelligence unit isn't just going to give up and go home, everyone is now equally vulnerable to whatever they use next.
CON4: A single Chinese APT group out of an average of approximately 20 APT groups would only address 5% of the overall problem. By disclosing details of just one threat group, the effect to Chinese cyber espionage operations would be minimal.
CON5: A detailed disclosure at this level reveals a laundry list of specific items that the Chinese can now use as lessons learned to improve upon overall tradecraft. This increases the probability of Chinese counter intelligence operations, operations security, oversight and an overall process improvement which will diminish the security industries ability to effectively combat the threat of Chinese APT's in the future.
Only time will tell if the gains outweigh any losses associated with the disclosure. Despite growing evidence that this is the work of the Chinese, the official response has been no different than what we have seen before. A poor embassy spokesperson, followed by spokespeople for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Defense, are forced to respond with the standard canned and reflexive denial stating that accusing China without evidence is "irresponsible" and "unprofessional" or that China is ultimately the victim and would never do such a thing. What this spokespersons probably doesn't understand, through the layers of party bureaucracy, is how "irresponsible" and "unprofessional" the Chinese Computer Network Exploitation (CNE) machine actually is. If this is the case, it highlights how intentionally deceptive the PRC is or that the left hand has no idea what the right hand is doing in the shadows.
Ultimately, what is truly "irresponsible" and "unprofessional" is targeting the same individual four times a day through emails written in broken English with an attached implant embedded in a self extracting archive. For those who bear the scars of APT attacks or organizations who specialize in protecting customers from such threats, it becomes quite clear, the Chinese, in their hunger to support their modernization and economic rise, have compromised themselves before a global economy.

Starbucks, Staples, Three Others Join Better Buildings Challenge
Starbucks Coffee, Staples, and The J.R. Simplot Company are among five companies that have this week joined the White House's Better Buildings Challenge.
Starbucks, Staples and Simplot have pledged to upgrade more than 50 million square feet of combined commercial building space, including 15 manufacturing facilities, as they strive to meet the Better Buildings goal of cutting building energy use at least 20 percent by 2020.
Samas Capital and Greenwood Energy have joined the program as "financial allies." The companies have pledged $200 million in financing, which will be available for energy efficiency upgrades through the program.
Last week, new utility partner Pacific Gas and Electric committed to offering expanded energy-efficiency programs for its commercial customers, who are responsible for 30 million square feet of commercial building space.
Launched in 2011, the Better Buildings Challenge is part of the Obama Administration's strategy aimed at reducing energy waste in commercial and industrial buildings. Under the challenge, private sector CEOs, university presidents, and state and local leaders commit to taking aggressive steps to reduce the energy used in their facilities, and pledge to share data and best practices with others around the country.
With the addition of this month's new partners and allies, nearly 70 organizations have now joined the Better Buildings Challenge. Together, these organizations account for more than 1.7 billion square feet of building space, including more than 300 manufacturing plants, and have committed almost $2 billion to support energy efficiency improvements nationwide.
In December, 3M, Alcoa, GE, Kohl's, Nissan, Supervalu, Walgreens and dozens of other organizations joined President Obama and former president Bill Clinton in announcing almost $4 billion in federal and private sector energy upgrades to buildings over the next two years, as part of the challenge.
The 60 CEOs, mayors, university presidents, and labor leaders committed to invest nearly $2 billion of private capital to upgrade energy performance by at least 20 percent by 2020 in 1.6 billion square feet of office, industrial, municipal, hospital, college and school buildings. At the same time, Obama issued a presidential memorandum committing the federal government to spend $2 billion on energy upgrades to its own buildings.
