Picture This: Top Dog
A dachshund representing the country of Ecuador patiently waits out the rain at the Dachshund United Nations performance in Sydney, Australia. Artist Bennett Miller put on the event outside the city's Museum of Contemporary Art, which described it as a "joyful and chaotic" exploration of the "utopian aspirations" associated with the international organization.

I get a few errors in all webkit browsers (error console). Also when I add a song to the group, it isn't updating on my wordpress page in webkit browsers. Only in IE.

You should have had like a fuckin,M-16 or something to blow those little Brady fucks away.That sucked so much!
Rated 2.5 / 5 stars
Not bad...
In fairness this was pretty fun, but it was pretty poorly made too! Can you not make a game where you have to seduce the Brady girls by getting them drunk or slipping them drugs or something? That would be fun..... you do know that by "seduce" I mean fuck, right?

Welcome to 1to1 Media — a multimedia resourcefor CRM and Customer Experience Professionals.
Children learn best when they are at play. By acting out various roles and tasks, children absorb the lessons behind their activities, all while having fun and interacting with their peers. Of course, while companies certainly don't want employees goofing off on the job, playing pretend may just be the key to successful service training, as well.
For companies across industries, simulated training exercises have become a way to engage service professionals while allowing these employees to hone their abilities, learn new skills, and adjust to the constantly changing support environment. These methods now foster learning journeys, offering professionals the opportunity to evolve alongside their businesses so they remain invested in their company's future.
"People tend to learn a lot by doing on the job," says Rommin Adl, executive vice president at BTS. However, entrusting employees to learn as they do opens these learners up to mistakes that may inevitably reduce employee engagement because they haven't done the task before.
"Simulations are a really great way of immersing people in the role and letting them practice in a risk-free environment so they can make mistakes and learn by trial and error," Adl adds that employees typically emerge from this training a lot more confident in their abilities and they have a deeper sense of ownership. "They've done it, they've been there, and they know what the consequences are from an employee satisfaction perspective, a customer perspective, and a financial perspective," he says.
While computer and electronic simulations are a step in the right direction, Lamont Exeter, executive director of Learning Solutions and Delivery, TeleTech, cautions that the true value of simulated training will be realized when employees receive immediate feedback on their performance, and the simulation is performed in the medium the task is performed. "Simply creating a simulated environment without a timely, robust, and objective feedback delivery method is like playing and having fun without a coach there to develop you," he says. "Electronic simulations are good for knowing if the employee understands the application of the information, yet it is completely different when you have a person in front of you or on the phone and you are trying to perform the simulation."
Such integrated approaches ring true, as companies are beginning to realize that employee training is no longer a one-time event. Just as customer habits evolve, so must the skill sets of service professionals in all industries. These exercises, combined with the guidance of an actively involved manager, ensure that employees have fun while learning, helping them to retain and apply the knowledge acquired, much like children learn essential lessons each day.
Simulating Support Scenarios to Spice Up the Food Services Industry
Though Sodexo has built its success upon being an onsite food services provider for schools, hospitals, and entertainment venues, the company chose to realign its focus in 2005. Sodexo sought to extend its reach by designing, managing, and delivering comprehensive solutions that would enhance the quality of life for all their customers. But, in order to engage 1,000 senior managers worldwide, Sodexo's initiative required a strategy that would show its workers how to bring this ambitious goal to life.
To inspire and engage the entire Sodexo community, senior leaders deployed e-learning curricula, virtual team assignments, and numerous other collaborative, educational technologies to teach its staff the necessary skills to ensure a successful transition. Sodexo also implemented the VirtuoSo simulation electronic platform, which allowed the company to test participants in an effort to ensure successful application of this new knowledge. Overall, 84 percent of participants ranked their learning experience as "highly effective" in regard to their personal development and understanding of the new strategy, thereby boosting employee engagement and aiding Sodexo's move to not only improve the daily lives of its clients, but its employees, as well.
Revving Up Revenue Generation in the Auto Insurance Industry
For Permanent General, successful customer service strategy starts with its representatives. The auto insurance provider—one of the largest non-standard companies in the nation—operates contact centers located in Tennessee and Arizona, employing both onsite and remote agents that often serve as the first contact many customers have with Permanent General. To ensure these agents not only represent the face of the company, but its brain as well, "The General" has embraced training simulation to guide customer service representatives (CSRs) through their learning journey at their own pace. Where traditional training approaches once reigned, Permanent General's new self-service simulation occurs right on the agent's desktop, removing the need to pull CSRs off the phone and into the classroom.
"While we had great intentions, we weren't consistently able to deliver as much training to reps as they felt they needed to do because of the limitations of doing this training in real time and being able to take large groups off the floor while coordinating with the training department," says Allison Garretson, vice president of underwriting, premium finance, and customer service at Permanent General.
Employees can now determine which classes to take based on their performance and aptitude, empowering themselves with the knowledge that they are improving upon their weaker skills using tutorials that allow them to dive into the action, not lectures. Since investing in the betterment of its agent base, Permanent General's representatives have proven their lessons successful by devoting their time to learning the advanced skills they need to provide superior service. Now, not only does the auto insurance provider continue to meet objectives and ROI goals, but customer satisfaction, first-call resolution, and employee engagement have also improved, laying the groundwork for customer loyalty and improved brand reputation.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Lowell Excelent product, but very expensive Wonderful product and dogs love taste. Suggest using smaller cans to reduce the cost for smaller dogs.

POSITION: Right Wing
SHOOTS: Right
BIRTHPLACE: Calgary, AB, CAN
DRAFTED: DET: 1983-88 overall
|Traded to NY Rangers by Detroit with Per Djoos for Kevin Miller, Jim Cummins and Dennis Vial, March 5, 1991. Traded to Vancouver by NY Rangers for Kay Whitmore, March 20, 1996. Signed as a free agent by Detroit, December 27, 1996. Missed remainder of 1998-99 and entire 1999-2000 seasons recovering from hernia injury and surgery, May, 1999. Officially announced retirement, October 10, 2000.
|Joey Kocur was a hard-nosed right-winger who was a good checker and intimidating presence on the ice. He was also better at handling the puck than most people realized and had a deceptively hard shot.
Born in Calgary, Alberta, Kocur played two years with the Saskatoon Blades of the WHL where he scored 63 goals and played a robust physical game. He was chosen 91st overall by the Detroit Red Wings in 1983 then spent some valuable time with Adirondack of the AHL. He played 17 games in 1984-85 then became a regular the next year.
Kocur emerged as a solid defensive player in 1986-87. In the Norris Division Final he shut down cousin Wendel Clark in a deft move by coach Jacques Demers. Kocur helped the Wings dominate the Norris Division in 1987-88 and 1988-89 and scored a personal best 16 goals in 1989-90.
The veteran winger was traded to the New York Rangers in March 1991 and was a solid role player on the club when it finished first in the NHL's overall standings in 1991-92. He also played 20 games in 1994 when team won its first Stanley Cup in 54 years. Kocur was traded to the Vancouver Canucks in March 1996 for goalie Kay Whitmore.
Kocur played briefly with the IHL's San Antonio Dragons before his life took an unexpected turn. Assuming his career was over, he was playing in an Industrial League in 1996-97 when Red Wings signed him to provide experience and grit. He was rejuvenated and comfortable with his limited role while helping the team win consecutive Stanley Cups in 1997 and 1998. Kocur played 39 games in 1998-99 and eclipsed 800 games played before retiring.

After 2 years attorney is removing self from case because we don't have money to fight Shaver Auto Center and Daimler Chrysler since lemon cases are hard to prove (why is that?). PT Cruiser stinks from foul air conditioning, emergency brake slips, transmission doesn't always catch, oil consumption problems, failed engine leak-down compression test by Daimler.
In our opinion, these people have no regard for customers or safety factors never mind honesty, integrity and reliability. Shaver laughed at us when we threatened to sue Daimler Chrysler because it is such a large corporation. Our personal opinion is that they are greedy, nasty and unprofessional and we hope more people catch on to their sneaky business practices.

By itself, lavender (Lavandula spp.) doesn't look like much. Its foliage is skimpy and gray, its flower stalks lanky and its growth habit unremarkable. The flowers themselves, at least on the common English varieties, are so understated that you have to watch closely to see when buds become blooms. But it doesn't get much better than brushing up against a lavender plant in the summertime and inhaling its intoxicating aroma.

Best of all, you can use this fragrant herb at home, in everything from gorgeous bouquets, body-care products and delicious foods.

It was a number that got a lot of attention but experts say it doesn't paint a complete picture.The unemployment rate in Toronto last month stood at 10.1 percent, up from 7.1 percent back in August.It was enough for Ontario PC leader Tim Hudak to say that he was "worried" about the situation in Toronto during an interview with the Motts (airing this weekend on Newstalk 1010) although those crunching the numbers say it's important to see how the unemployment trend plays out over a number of months before we can catch a true snapshot of the situation.
When asked about the jobs numbers this week, Mayor Rob Ford said Toronto was "booming." "I think it's a number we have to look at very carefully," says Manager of Research in the city's department of Strategic Growth and Research Peter Viducis. "But at this point we don't have enough monthly data to say for sure that this is not a statistically (anomaly).""Clearly we have seen a little bit of weakness in recent months," said TD economist Jonathan Bendiner on the Jerry Agar Show. "If you look on a trend overall basis we have seen strong employment growth in Toronto and the unemployment rate has come down slightly.Looking at annual averages, Toronto gained almost 35,000 jobs from 2012 to 2013 and the overall unemployment rate fell.Since 2010 Toronto has seen an increase of about 57, 000 jobs.From 2010 to 2013 the city has seen an increase of about 19,000 jobs related to goods producing and gains of about 3,000 from 2012 to 2013.There were also gains from 2012 to 2013 in construction, retail trade, transportation and warehousing, real estate, as well as health care and social assistance.Manufacturing saw job losses of 6.5 percent, but overall the sector has seen an increase of 7.5 percent since 2010.

PRO FOOTBALL; The Quest and the Questions
By THOMAS GEORGE,
Published: May 12, 1993
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y.— What's the running joke in Atlanta, which fought diligently to be the host for Super Bowl XXVIII on Jan. 30, 1994? The word is that if the Buffalo Bills are in the game, Atlanta wants to toss it right back to the National Football League.
The Bills' first-round pick in the recent draft, Thomas Smith, a University of North Carolina cornerback from Gates, N.C., made his first trip to Buffalo last week for the Bills' mini-camp. "Buffalo looked pretty neat from the window of the plane," Smith said, smiling. A closer look and Smith found Bills fans still counting all of those Dallas Cowboys points in Super Bowl XXVII on Jan. 31.
What? 52-17?
The comedian Jay Leno quipped afterward: "Hey, was that a football game or Woody Allen on a date?"
How much abuse can one team take? And where do the Buffalo Bills go from here? Not Everyone Is Apologetic
They have dropped a record three straight Super Bowls -- and counting. The flip side of this is that the Bills have played in the last three Super Bowls, and four of the last five A.F.C. championship games.
You talk with the Bills, and every side is covered.
There is unrepentant reasoning:
"The question I've been asked most since the game is how can you go to three Super Bowls and lose three," said Bills linebacker Darryl Talley. "My answer is there are 1,500 players in the N.F.L., and maybe 50 a year get a Super Bowl ring. We got there three times and I ask people, 'Where were you?' In the stands? Watching the game on TV? Don't mess with us."
There is brutal honesty:
"I cannot explain it and there is no excuse for it," said Bills defensive end Bruce Smith. "Something is definitely wrong. From the standpoint of how talented we are -- and there is not a more talented team in this league -- not to win any of those three Super Bowls and to lose the last one the way we did was pathetic."
And there is change, along with questions.
Bill Polian is out as general manager and John Butler is in. Lost to other teams through free agency are linebackers Shane Conlan (Rams) and Carlton Bailey (Giants), offensive linemen Will Wolford (Colts) and Mitch Frerotte (Seahawks) and defensive back Clifford Hicks (Jets). Veteran receiver James Lofton is gone, released by the team and signed by the Los Angeles Raiders.
The Bills' chief free-agency signings were receiver Bill Brooks from the Colts and defensive lineman Oliver Barnett from the Falcons. Meanwhile, in a significant personnel shift, Cornelius Bennett will move permanently to inside linebacker this season.
More change could be a year away. Among the Bills whose contracts will expire after the 1993 season are Smith, Talley, Jim Kelly, Thurman Thomas, Andre Reed and Kent Hull. Regardless of what happens this year, is this the last season in Buffalo for these key players? Will free agency, envy over money and the sour specter of three championship losses rip the team apart? A Pep Talk From Levy
No doubt, among the biggest challenges for the 1993 Buffalo Bills is the mind game.
"I spoke to the team before camp about these things," said Marv Levy, the Bills' head coach, whose contract was extened to 1996 last month. "First, I mentioned the style and the tradition of this team. I talked about how it was that we got to three straight Super Bowls and beat Houston in the playoffs in the biggest comeback in N.F.L. history. I told them that no team in league history has endured more and been more resolute that we have. We have character. Plenty of character. Our quest goes on."
It goes on without Polian, who was dismissed by the Bills' owner, Ralph Wilson, four days after the Dallas debacle. Actually, Wilson had told Polian before the 1992 season that he would not be back for 1993.
Polian spent nine years with the Bills and helped take them from being a 2-14 team to the one that went to three Super Bowls. He said that a personality conflict with Jeffrey Littmann, Wilson's financial executive for all of the owner's businesses, ran too deep for him to stay. Others say Polian was so driven and wanted so much control that even Wilson was beginning to feel like an outsider.
"When I first came to Buffalo, the organization was adrift and there was no teamwork between the front office, administration, scouting and the coaches," said Polian, who is now an adviser for the N.F.L. management council. "We had 12,500 season-ticket holders for an 80,000-seat stadium. We had a big, tall mountain to climb and we weren't going to get it done by staying the course. I was intense. I'm proud of what we accomplished. 'The Nucleus Will Remain'
"But I had a problem with one person, and Mr. Wilson basically made the choice to go with him instead of me. It was a pretty serious rift. I have no problem with Mr. Wilson's decision. I respect that. I am grateful for the opportunity he gave me. I've turned the page."
Wilson did, too, naming Butler, the team's player-personnel director, as the new general manager.
"You always hate to gain at a friend's loss, and people have told me that's the business, but it doesn't make it any easier to swallow," Butler said. "I have a lot to prove. We all still do. And maybe once we reach that ultimate greatness, it will be all the more special. This team is paid very well, but the players whose contracts are up are part of the heart and soul of this team. That is going to be addressed before training camp.

State police Col. Steven G. O�Donnell points to the Boston Marathon bombing investigation in explaining the potential benefits of technological advances such as drones.
�The technology�s great,� he said. �It would help law enforcement, as the world�s always changing, as we�ve seen.�
In his view, however, technology often gets ahead of law enforcement.
He praised a 2011 state law that he says caught police up with evolving technology as more crimes moved online. The law allows state police to get information about Internet users using an �administrative subpoena� that the state police colonel or the attorney general�s office can approve. Before its passage, police had to get a judge to sign off on multiple search warrants �� a time-consuming process.
Records show that in the five months after its passage, the Rhode Island State Police issued 112 subpoenas to Internet service providers. That information was used in 65 criminal investigations, ending in 24 arrests for crimes such as cyber-stalking and child pornography.
In 2012, the state police issued 168 such subpoenas. The information gleaned was used in 106 criminal investigations, ending in 22 arrests. Sixty-three of those investigations were closed without an arrest.
�It makes the process easier, and we�re protecting people better by doing it and doing it faster,� O�Donnell said.

The Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) publishes the results of a weekly applications survey that covers roughly 50% of all residential mortgage originations. It tracks the average interest rate for 30-year and 15-year fixed-rate mortgages as well as the volume of both purchase and refinance applications. The purchase application index has been highlighted as a particularly important data series as it very broadly captures the demand side of residential real estate for both new- and existing-home purchases.
The latest data is showing that the average rate for a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage (from FHA and conforming GSE data) declined a six basis points to 4.28% since last week, while purchase application volume declined 1% and refinance application volume increased 3% over the same period. As a result of Fed Chairman Bernanke's abrupt turnaround on the "tapering" issue, rates appear now to be pulling back notably after weeks of explosive increases that saw a rise of over 100 basis points. The following charts show the average interest rate for 30-year and 15-year fixed-rate mortgages since 2006 as well as purchase, refinance, and composite loan volumes.

Dungeon Hunter 2, Gameloft's follow-up RPG title, is now available from the app store. Offering much of the same great gameplay that we saw in the previous iteration, Dungeon Hunter 2 also manages to slip in some nice improvements to bring us another terrific RPG option that should appeal to hardcore fans as well as usher in a new era of players.
Dungeon Hunter 2 Pros:
- Exciting action RPG experience
- Beautiful graphics with lighting and shading effects
- Movie score quality soundtrack
- Responsive controls
- Lengthy story mode with varied environments and expansive maps
- Multiplayer co-op mode via local and online wi-fi
Dungeon Hunter 2 Cons:
- Some environmental objects (trees) tend to obscure the view
- Character menu can be a bit overwhelming for new players
- Easy to get lost, despite access to the map
As with most RPGs, you start the game at a low level, with bare bones equipment and mediocre skills. You are given the option to play as one of three class types: Warrior, Rogue, or Mage. Each can be further pigeonholed into a more specialized role under the main umbrella. This, of course, dictates the type of role you take, weapons you use, and skills you hone. You awake in a dank dungeon, locked in a giant bird cage. Sprung from your prison by a priest and fairy, you reluctantly follow them when you learn that your brother has taken control of Gothicus and is leading it down an evil path. It is up to you to put on your hero pants and lead the resistance in order to save Gothicus and defeat the evil that lies within your sibling.
The world you inhabit is bigger this time around, with a plethora of areas to explore, enemies to fight, and quests to complete. Quests are of a more pertinent variety in Dungeon Hunter 2 than in some RPGs we've played. Whereas many quests can feel like busy work that sees you collecting a number of items or creating a number of potions, these quests involve defeating certain enemies or retrieving certain items that will further your progress through the game. Treasure chests abound, offering you gold and other items that can be used to enhance your stats and provide improved abilities when equipped. You can spend a great deal of time tweaking your setup or simply tap the auto-equip button to let the game outfit your character with the best available equipment. The use of fairies for magical intervention remains intact, with each focused on the elements: fire, earth, water, air, and lightning. You can equip one at a time to aid in defeating foes. As you progress and eliminate those who mean you harm, you earn experience points and level up your character. Character points can be applied to strength, dexterity, endurance, or energy. Other points can be applied to both active and passive abilities to give you an edge in gameplay, much like the first version of the game.
The character menu offers you the easy ability to tweak and swap to your heart's content. The first section outlines your character stats and the second allows you to examine your inventory and make your equipment changes. Your skills and specializations are tweaked in the third section and the fairy selection is in the fourth section. Your quest journal allows you to see which quests you are currently attempting to fulfill, as well as select which should be your main quest. The map gives you a look at the land and pertinent info regarding your main quest. You can quickly switch between this menu and the actual game by tapping on your image in the upper left corner. Navigating the world is experienced from a top-down view, giving you a good look at the surrounding area. Attacking enemies involves button-mashing when a red circle appears at the feet of a foe, indicating that he is the target. Your health regenerates when you are not in battle, with a visual indicator in the upper left corner. There is also a mana indicator, which is important for casting spells and using special abilities. It's important to keep an eye on these when in battle to be sure that you don't lose lives. Available health potions are accessed from the upper right corner. Battles are fast and furious, so you must remain alert and nimble.
Graphically, everything about the world of Gothicus looks amazing. The environments are highly detailed, the lighting and shading effects are utilized well, and the colors really pop. There are a number of buttons on screen, but they never feel obtrusive. A virtual pad in the lower left corner offers fluid movement in all directions. Additionally, you can choose to forgo the virtual pad for tap-to-move controls, where you touch the spot on the screen where you want to go. The context-specific, button (used to attack, talk, manipulate depending on the situation), fairy button, and special ability button are on the right, offering good responsiveness when tapped. The soundtrack is impressive, providing movie score quality audio as the backdrop for this epic tale. The sound effects are plentiful and crisp, enhancing the immersive experience with clanging swordplay, squishy footsteps, whizzing arrows, and all of the other little details that you'd expect.
Replay value is terrific, as playing with any of the three classes and two specialized classes offers a different experience. The lengthy game should keep you entertained for hours, as completing all quests and maxing out your stats is not a simple undertaking. GameCenter and Gameloft Live! integration brings leaderboards and achievements to earn, which can also provide incentive to play again and again. This time around, Gameloft has even included a co-op mode for 2-4 players via local wi-fi and Bluetooth, or online wi-fi. It offers a new experience that can be both enjoyable and helpful, as enhancements achieved in co-op mode are also available in the single-player mode. In all, Dungeon Hunter 2 is an even more compelling title than its previous iteration, without losing a step. Currently on sale for $5.99, we recommend snagging this 4.5-Dimple stunner today.

Skip to comments.Orrin Hatch vs. the Heritage Foundation (In case you were in any doubt)
Posted on 10/19/2013 6:29:00 PM PDT by Viennacon
After calling Obamacare a dog bill and insisting that some good did come out of the shutdown showdown, Hatch was blunt when asked about the influence of outside conservative groups and the Heritage Foundation in particular.
Heritage used to be the conservative organization helping Republicans and helping conservatives and helping us to be able to have the best intellectual conservative ideas, Hatch said. Theres some real question in the minds of many Republicans now is Heritage going to go so political that it really doesnt amount to anything anymore . Right now I think its in danger of losing its clout and its power around Washington, D.C.
Hatchs willingness to so publicly bash Heritage an organization now headed by his one-time colleague Jim DeMint is evidence of the growing frustrations within the party about the clout that organizations such as Heritage Action, the political arm of the think tank, as well as the Senate Conservatives Fund and the Club for Growth, now wield over Republican members of Congress. (Hatch has some personal experience with those groups, as he was painted by some of them as insufficiently conservative in his 2012 reelection race.) That fight will continue to play itself out in 2014 as the Club and SCF both endorsed a primary challenger to Sen. Thad Cochran (R-Miss.) on Wednesday, and many of the most influential conservative outside groups have also been publicly critical of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), who faces a primary challenge next year.
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtonpost.com ...
Quite the contrast to the giant that is Mike Lee. Hatch was once reasonably reliable. Now he's more RINO than Mike Enzi of Wyoming. He's thrown his lot with the establishment. Not only did he give anti-free speech protections for homosexuals his stamp of approval, he also is an amnesty advocate. Oh, and in case you were wondering where Hatch was during the Obamacare shutdown... he abstained like a coward, probably playing connect four with Jeff Flake.
It's unfortunate for us that this loser is retiring before 2018, just after he's really screwed us over no doubt. Good riddance to Boring Hatch.
Way past time to put that old fool out to pasture.
Boy, talk about coming to a match of wits unarmed.
So did Mark Levin, who said he deeply regretted it later. Hatch played a clever game, making people think he was Utah's Jim Inhofe. Total joke.
Heritage didn't leave Conservatism...RINO's like Hatch, McShame, 2BDam$McConnell, Linda, Cornpone, etc left Conservatism.
Also good to remember Hatch funded Dick Lugar and Bob Corker. The Cork! He actually funded that SOB.
I don't think McShame was ever a conservative, so he never left anything. He's just been the same buffoonish clown since day 1.
Birds of a feather.
Corny's doing that now, in Texas...running ads about how dang Conservative he is....NOT.
Wasn't Hatch's opponent a big Romney-ite? At the time, I thought it seemed an open question as to how much better he'd be than Hatch. Usually better to ditch the incumbant in these scenarios, but you never really know for sure. The new guy could have been another worthless Jeff Flake RINO.
Apparently, the majority of people in Utah are morons because they continue to send this RINO POS to represent their moron selves to the US Senate.
People in Salt Lake City think he is a SAINT!
Look at who mormons support (in general) not a conservative in the bunch.
Time to put Orrin and Juan out on the ice flow. :-)
If Heritage believes that things are so bad that they can no longer afford to stay on the sidelines issuing policy statements, but must instead support specific candidates, then things are truly going downhill fast.
Is AEI endorsing specific candidates?
Orrin was Teddy's BF.
Republican Pat Roberts thought he was chairing a "bipartisan" select committee on Intelligence, until Republican aide Manuel Miranda found a memo by co-chair Jay Rockefeller that detailed how the Democrats were secretly "pullng Republicans along" until they could "pull the trigger" on investigations.
From 2003, Transcript of a memo to the Democrat members of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, found on a shared server by Republican aide Manual Miranda:
We have carefully reviewed our options under the rules and believe we have identified the best approach. Our plan is as follows:
1) Pull the majority along as far as we can on issues that may lead to major new disclosures regarding improper or questionable conduct by administration officials. We are having some success in that regard. For example, in addition to the president's State of the Union speech, the chairman has agreed to look at the activities of the Office of the Secretary of Defense as well as Secretary Bolton's office at the State Department. The fact that the chairman supports our investigations into these offices and co-signs our requests for information is helpful and potentially crucial. We don't know what we will find but our prospects for getting the access we seek is far greater when we have the backing of the majority. (Note: we can verbally mention some of the intriguing leads we are pursuing.)
2) Assiduously prepare Democratic "additional views" to attach to any interim or final reports the committee may release. Committee rules provide this opportunity and we intend to take full advantage of it. In that regard, we have already compiled all the public statements on Iraq made by senior administration officials. We will identify the most exaggerated claims and contrast them with the intelligence estimates that have since been declassified. Our additional views will also, among other things, castigate the majority for seeking to limit the scope of the inquiry. The Democrats will then be in a strong position to reopen the question of establishing an independent commission (i.e. the Corzine amendment).
3) Prepare to launch an independent investigation when it becomes clear we have exhausted the opportunity to usefully collaborate with the majority. We can pull the trigger on an independent investigation at any time-- but we can only do so once. The best time to do so will probably be next year either:
A) After we have already released our additional views on an interim report -- thereby providing as many as three opportunities to make our case to the public: 1) additional views on the interim report; 2) announcement of our independent investigation; and 3) additional views on the final investigation; or
B) Once we identify solid leads the majority does not want to pursue. We could attract more coverage and have greater credibility in that context than one in which we simply launch an independent investigation based on principled but vague notions regarding the "use" of intelligence.
In the meantime, even without a specifically authorized independent investigation, we continue to act independently when we encounter foot-dragging on the part of the majority. For example, the FBI Niger investigation was done solely at the request of the vice chairman; we have independently submitted written questions to DoD; and we are preparing further independent requests for information.
Intelligence issues are clearly secondary to the public's concern regarding the insurgency in Iraq. Yet, we have an important role to play in the revealing the misleading -- if not flagrantly dishonest methods and motives -- of the senior administration officials who made the case for a unilateral, preemptive war. The approach outline above seems to offer the best prospect for exposing the administration's dubious motives and methods.
Once this memo was discovered, the MSM circled the wagons around Jay Rockefeller, who was being accused of manipulating the Intelligence Committee for partisan purposes.
Orrin Hatch, who fell back on his habit of capitulating under pressure when given a strong hand, supported the firing of Miranda after Democrats claimed that Miranda had "hacked" into the computer to find the memo, instead of fighting the Democrat duplicity that the memo suggested.
The truth is that it was an open server, available to all committee members. The Democrats on the committee erroneously thought that it was a secure server.
hatch is the one who's changed, not heritage.
his i ability to know this and blame heritage is classic liberalism.
Hatch, just another Collaborator!
RINO's are Democrats
It is time people understood that
He can always write another love song for Ted Kennedy
He can always write another love song for Ted Kennedy
("Souls Along the Way")
Both Hatch and Romney are Mormons.
Let's send Orrin to the Booby Hatch, and that ain't his cousin Billy Bob or Downthe.
And Reid.
Mike Lee is a Mormon... and IIRC Clinton finished third twice in Utah.

Would it be possible to add an option to "Watch" Other Directories such as the upload directory?
Would it be possible to add an option to "Watch" Other Directories such as the upload directory?
It would be possible, but the upload directory has the potential to be huge. Plus you would trigger an alert every single time an image was uploaded.
Probably not a practical direction.
I agree that it's probably not practical for uploads, but how about for other directories that might be outside the areas normally scanned now?
Example: I maintain a 'downloads' directory of files for visitors to my site to download. Nobody but an administrator should have access to those files (which are never changed and only infrequently added to), but if somebody did get access and messed with the files, my visitors would assume any malware was my fault. It sure would be nice to be able to have WordPress Sentinel watch these for me also. :)
Please consider adding ability to include specific directories. Thanks!
BTW, great plugin! Wish I had it installed before some @#$% found a flaw in a plugin that allowed them to add their spam crap to my theme file. I now use WordPress Sentinel on all of the WP-based sites that I run.

The 21-year-old was undoubtedly one of the brightest lights from a golden Team GB at the London 2012 Olympics last summer, winning team pursuit and omnium gold on her Games bow.
Despite such achievements, there was no time to rest as Trott turned her attentions to Minsk in February and defending her team pursuit and omnium World Championship titles from the previous year.
While Trott roared to gold in the team pursuit, alongside Dani King and Elinor Barker, she had to settle for silver in the omnium behind American Sarah Hammer, the first time she had failed to top the podium at a major championship.
Since, Trott has been strutting her stuff for the new Wiggle Honda road team, owning the white jersey for the best young rider after stage one of the Energiewacht Tour earlier this month.
And, despite clearly showing prowess on the road, Trott admits it is only a short sabbatical before the serious business of the track returns, although it is a much needed one to ensure she doesn't have to settle for second best ever again.
"I am not going to lie, being on the road is hard and I am not going to pretend it is not," she said. "But I have enjoyed it and to be honest it has been nice to have something new and exciting to work towards.
"After the Olympics and heading to the World Championships motivation was starting to wane because I had worked so hard and put everything into London 2012.
"So going to the road was something fresh and new and I think I needed that and it has been good fun to be with the new team that includes some new faces in it.
"The one thing that is probably obvious but really hit me was just how long cycling on the road is. It was a bit of a shock to the system to be honest.
"For the first couple of days I felt fine and finished fourth in the one-day race so I think that showed that I was doing OK. But I was just not used to it and it got tougher and tougher and I just fell away.
"I am never going to ride on the road at a Games or anything like that but I think that it can help me with my track cycling."
It isn't just the road that Trott has had to get used to in recent months, with her London 2012 adventure propelling her into the nation's conscious.
But, much like her stint away from the track, Trott is taking her new-found role-model status in her stride as well.
"I know that because of what happened at London 2012 I am now having to be a bit more of a mentor or role model than I was before but to be honest I am not really thinking about it. I am just myself and I don't really know any other way to be," she added.
"I think that is the best way to approach it really, by just being your normal self and taking it in your stride so to speak.
"When I was growing up I had Sir Bradley Wiggins and Sir Chris Hoy and it is a bit mad to think that I now have a similar role but I don't think it has changed me."

While the Tour celebrated its 100th anniversary back in 2003, the 100th edition of the world's most famous bike race gets under way in just over a week with the Tour's first ever visit to Corsica.
Three stages on the beautiful Mediterranean island will be followed by an intriguing route which features a team time trial in Nice, an individual time trial to the famous tourist site of Mont-Saint-Michel, a Bastille Day battle with Mont Ventoux, two ascents of the legendary Alpe d'Huez on one day, and a night-time finish on the Champs Elysees which will loop around the Arc du Triomphe for yet another Tour first.
With a nod to the host nation and its 100th race, the 2013 Tour will be the first Tour in a decade to be competed entirely on French soil – compare that to 1992 when, in honour of the Maastricht Treaty which created the European Union, the Tour visited a record seven countries: France, Spain, Belgium, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Luxembourg.
There are seven flat stages, five hilly stages, six mountain stages (including four summit finishes), two individual time trials and one team time trial stage covering a total of 3,404 kilometres – some 93km shorter than last year's race.
Along with the 19 World Tour teams there will be three wildcard teams – that's one less than usual because of Katusha's 11th hour readmission into cycling's top flight following an appeal with the Court of Arbitration for Sport – with French second tier teams Europcar, Sojasun and Cofidis getting the nod.
Corse-du-Sud and Haute-Corse are the only two Metropolitan departments of France which have yet to be graced by the annual sporting soap opera that is the Tour – and the Corsican cities of Porto-Vecchio, Bastia, Ajaccio and Calvi are four of 10 first-time host cities in the 2013 race.
Before the undulating second stage of the Tour, the race's opening 212km stage – only the third road stage opening to a Tour since the now traditional Prologue was introduced in 1967 – is almost completely flat. The only previous non-Prologue openers in the same time frame – in 2008 and 2011 – featured hilly routes favouring punchy riders in the mould of Alejandro Valverde and Philippe Gilbert.
With no categorised climbs on the agenda, stage one along the east coast of Corsica from Porto-Vecchio to Bastia will be the first time since 1966 that a pure sprinter is likely to take the opening stage – meaning Britain's Mark Cavendish will be the stand-out favourite to don the race's first yellow jersey.
Once on mainland France, the race continues with a 25km team time trial around Nice – a discipline not seen on the Tour since 2011. Where last year's route included over one hundred time trial kilometres – playing into the hand of the eventual winner, Bradley Wiggins, the Olympic time trial gold medallist – the 2013 route features just 55km of individual time trials.
Stage 11, the first of two ITTs, is 33km and flat, finishing in the shadow of rocky tidal island of Mont-Saint-Michel in Normandy, while the second more undulating race against the clock includes two second category climbs over 32km between Embrun and Chorges for stage 17.
This reduction in time trial kilometres will mean the race is likely to be decided in the mountains – and ASO, the race organisers, have come up trumps with a nod to some of the Tour's most iconic climbs. As ASO said in a statement following the announcement of the route: "The route will constantly favour the brave and, amongst them, the climbers will have opportunities spread all along their journey to Paris."
There are four major summit finishes – one more than last year – at Alpe d'Huez, Ax 3 Domaines, Mont Ventoux and, making its Tour debut, Annecy-Semnoz. But that only tells half the story – quite literally in the case of the race's visit to Alpe d'Huez, whose famous 21 hairpins will be climbed twice in succession on the 168km stage eighteen.
It's the first time the Tour features a double climb of this scale – with the previous double ascents of the Col du Tourmalet (in 2010 to mark the centenary of the Pyrenees in the Tour) and the Col du Galibier (one year later to mark the 100th anniversary of the first Alpine stage) taking place on consecutive stages and tackled from different sides of the mountains.
For this year's Alpe d'Huez double, the riders will veer off just ahead of the summit on the first ascent to take on the second category Col de Sarenne and a long, treacherous descent back to the valley ahead of the second attempt at the climb known as 'Dutch Mountain' (in spite of no Dutchman winning here since 1989).
If it's Alpe d'Huez that will attract anything up to a million spectators from all around the world on its precipitous slopes, it is stage 15 to Mont Ventoux that every French fan will have circled in their diary.
Taking place on 14th July – the French national holiday of Bastille Day, which this year happens to fall on a Sunday – this is the longest stage of the 2013 Tour, with the peloton having to ride more than 220km through the heat of day before the final 20km ascent up the lunar Ventoux, known both as the 'Giant of Provence' and the 'Bald Mountain'. The cachet of winning on Bastille Day may prove too much of an enticement for many home riders so fans can expect multiple attacks from the peloton's French contingent.
The Tour's novel grand finale at dusk on the cobblestones of the Champs Elysees – plus the added loop around the Arc du Triomphe – ensures that the innovations continue right until the end of 2013 Tour. Starting in the historic grounds of the Palace of Versailles, the final stage will conclude as the sun sets over the City of Lights with Cavendish – the winner of the previous four stages on the Champs Elysees – targeting a record fifth consecutive win in Paris.
Should Cavendish win in Paris three weeks after opening the race with victory in Bastia, the Omega Pharma-Quick Step sprinter would be the first cyclist since Thor Hushovd in 2006 to bookend the Tour with wins. It would also be a rare double for Cavendish, who won the opening and closing stages of May's Giro d'Italia.
Once again, the 2013 route follows the race organiser's mantra of wishing to innovate while remaining faithful to the race's history and legendary status. As race director Christian Prudhomme once famously said, "We cannot apply the same recipe each year. We can't hit copy and paste."
