PARSONS - The town of Davis received a splash of good news Monday.
Tucker County Commissioners voted unanimously in a special meeting to give the town $50,000 to help the Davis Water System Improvement Project, as requested by Mayor Joe Drenning at the last County Commission meeting.
Mike Rosenau, president of the Commission, said commissioners were pleased to be able to help with the project.
"We approved a $50,000 allotment for the town of Davis," Rosenau said. "This was discussed at our last meeting, and we had to review the budget to see where we could take those funds from. We are taking $22,000 from the coal reallocation funds and $28,000 from the general fund for capital projects."
Drenning said the $50,000 will be used to get the town's water project into the design phase.
"I have committed $35,000 from our town's emergency funds," Drenning said. "This will give us $85,000 and that will put the project into design. When we go to Charleston with the funding proposal, it will be shovel ready."
Drenning said the town of Davis has applied for funding for upgrades to its water system since 2000.
"We have 80-year-old water lines in the town," Drenning said. "I have a piece of the line which is 3/4 inch and you cannot get a pencil through it. They are swelled shut."
Drenning said the project was originally projected to cost $1.5 million.
"We have eliminated some of that cost," Drenning said. "We put in 2,700 feet of main line across the river from the water plant to the tank. We have eliminated half a million dollars. We are chunking away at it."
Drenning said the grant application will be for $1.284 million.
"This project will not cause a raise in the water bills for any of our customers," Drenning said. "We currently have 437 households we serve."
Drenning approached the Commission April 23 asking for the $50,000 for assistance in receiving a Small Cities Block Grant. During that meeting, Drenning, along with Shane Whitehair of Region VII and Brian Huffman of the Chapman Group, told commissioners the Davis Water System Improvement Project would not only be of benefit to the city of Davis, but would help improve water to Blackwater Falls State Park, the Industrial Park and the Kenneth "Honey" Rubenstein Juvenile Center. The deadline for the grant application is May 21.
The next Tucker County Commission meeting is slated for 9 a.m. May 14 at the Tucker County Courthouse Courtroom.

Most Indian Stocks Drop; DLF Declines as State Bank Advances
Most Indian stocks dropped, tracking Asian equities, before a parliamentary vote in Italy and as the nation's central bank raised concern about inflation.
DLF Ltd., the nation's largest developer, dropped for the first time in three days. Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd., the biggest drugmaker by market value, declined the most in six weeks. State Bank of India, the largest lender, climbed ahead of its earnings tomorrow.
"Markets have remained range bound for quite some time and the environment around earnings and interest rates on the back of high inflation has remained very challenging," Raamdeo Agrawal, joint managing director at Mumbai-based Motilal Oswal Financial Services Ltd., told Bloomberg UTV today.
The BSE India Sensitive Index, or Sensex, gained less than 0.1 percent to 17,569.53 in a session that saw the gauge swing between gains and losses at least 20 times. Sixteen shares fell and 13 advanced on the 30-member measure at the 3:30 p.m. close in Mumbai. The market was closed yesterday for a holiday.
The Sensex has slumped 14 percent this year on concern the record interest-rate increases may compound the effects of the European crisis on company profits. Companies in the Sensex are valued at 15 times future profits, down from 21.5 times in last March. The MSCI Emerging Markets Index trades at 10.5 times.
Inflation drivers are "still very strong," Subir Gokarn, deputy governor at the Reserve Bank of India, said today.
Asian stocks dropped for a second day ahead of a vote in Italy that will show whether Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has enough support to stay in power and implement austerity measures amid a surge in the nation's 10-year bond yield to a euro-era record 6.68 percent.
'Euro Quake'
"There's going to be more tremors and we face the risk of a euro quake," said Christopher Wood, the Hong Kong-based chief equity strategist at CLSA Asia-Pacific Markets. "We're in the process of reaching an end game in the euro zone, and Italy is just one actor in that whole drama," he said in a Bloomberg Television interview from San Francisco.
The S&P CNX Nifty Index on the National Stock Exchange of India Ltd. added 0.1 percent.
DLF dropped 2 percent to 242.75 rupees. Sun Pharmaceutical declined 2.7 percent to 499.4 rupees, its steepest loss since Sept. 22.
State Bank of India climbed 1.6 percent to 1,997.3 rupees. The lender may report tomorrow a 1 percent increase in net income to 25.2 billion rupees ($510 million), according to the median estimate of 33 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg News. The stock plunged 20.5 percent in the three months ended Sept. 30, the biggest quarterly loss in more than two years.
Oil & Natural Gas Corp., the nation's biggest state energy explorer, rose 0.4 percent to 277.8 rupees after posting record earnings. The stock earlier surged as much as 4.2 percent. Net income soared 60 percent to 86.4 billion rupees ($1.8 billion) in the September quarter because of higher prices. The profit beat the median estimate of 64.9 billion rupees in a survey of 31 analysts and was the highest since at least December 1999.
Earnings Scorecard
Five out of 17, or 29 percent, of Sensex companies that posted earnings for the September quarter have lagged behind analyst estimates, compared with 47 percent in the three months ended June, according to Bloomberg data.
"This quarter's results have been better than our expectations," said Motilal's Agrawal. "The real worry is inflation and interest rates."
Chances that the Reserve Bank will raise borrowing costs at the next review on Dec. 16 are "relatively low," it said on Oct. 25. The bank raised the repurchase rate to 8.5 percent from 8.25 percent on Oct. 25 to combat inflation that's stayed at more than 9 percent since December.
Industrial production data for September will be released Nov. 11 and wholesale-price inflation for October on Nov. 14.
Overseas funds bought a net 779 million rupees of Indian stocks on Nov. 3, raising total investment in the equities this year to 21.7 billion rupees, according to data on the website of the market regulator. They withdrew a net $2.4 billion in August, the most since October 2008.

Driving advice
Follow our fuel efficient driving tips to save on fuel and reduce your emissions. Try our tips below to drive smarter.
Smart driving in any car
Switch off your engine
Many newer cars automatically turn off when stationary in neutral. If yours doesn't, turn off your engine when you've stopped for a minute or so to save fuel.
Higher gear
Driving at lower revs reduces fuel consumption so change up a gear at around 2,000 RPM.
Drive smoothly
Assess the road ahead as much as possible to avoid unnecessary braking and acceleration, which increases the amount of fuel you use.
Slow down
Your fuel costs will increase the faster you drive so keep speeds reasonable.
Windows vs air conditioning
If you are travelling at low speed opening the windows is more efficient. If travelling at 60 miles per hour or above, closing the windows and using the air con will save you more.
Tyre pressures
Under-inflated tyres increase your fuel consumption and can be dangerous on the road so check them once a month and before long journeys.
Roof racks/boxes
Having these attached to your car when they're not being used will increase drag and increase your fuel costs.
Lighten your load
Remove excess items from your car before travelling to reduce weight.
Winter driving
The cold season means extra challenges when driving so why not download our guide for extra tips to help you drive safely and more efficiently.
When buying a new vehicle
If you are thinking of replacing your car or motorbike, check out the options below for tips on how to save on motoring costs. Generally, the smaller the engine size the more efficient a vehicle will be.
New cars
Cars are now much more fuel-efficient and you have a choice of different engine types: petrol, diesel, hybrid and electric.
Company cars
In the UK, company cars are taxed both on value and emissions, so look for a low-emission model to save on costs. Tax band information is provided by the HMRC.
Used cars
Fuel efficiency in older cars varies hugely. Research data for fuel consumption and emissions in used car models is available from Directgov.
Motorcycles and scooters
As with cars, the smaller the engine size the better the fuel efficiency of a motorbike or scooter. Smaller models may obtain over 100 miles a gallon; however, these bikes may not be suitable for long journeys.

Imagine building a meal around stale bread. That's the inspiration for Tuscan panzanella salad. It uses fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, basil, olives and, yes, 2-day-old bread.
"Tuscan women don't even waste a crust of bread," Patty Sutherland told me while on a trip to this popular region of Italy. While watching one of the Tuscan housewives make this dish, she told me she adds tuna, eggs or cheese to make it into a simple supper.
This meal contains 419 calories per serving with 28 percent of calories from fat.
Helpful hints:
* Fresh tuna is used in the recipe. If pressed for time simply sprinkle a good quality canned tuna on top of the salad.
* Any type of firm, country-style bread can be used. If it is too fresh, toast if for a few minutes.
* Any type of salad dressing can be used.
* The cooking times are for rare tuna; add 2 to 3 minutes if you prefer it cooked through.
Tuscan Panzanella Salad (Tuscan Tomato and Bread Salad)
3 large slices whole grain bread (one to two days old)
4 scallions, sliced
1 medium tomato, cut into cubes (about 1 cup)
1 packed cup fresh basil leaves
1/2 medium cucumber, peeled and cut into cubes (about 1 cup)
6 pitted black olives, cut in half
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil and vinegar dressing (divided use)
3/4 pound fresh tuna
Soak the bread for a few seconds in a small bowl of water. When just soft, squeeze out all of the water and break into small pieces. Place bread in a bowl with the scallions, tomatoes, basil, cucumber and olives. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add 1 tablespoon salad dressing and mix well. Divide between two dinner plates.
Heat a nonstick skillet over high heat. Add the tuna and sear for 2 minutes, turn and sear 2 more minutes for a 1/2 to 3/4 -inch tuna steak.
Cook 2 minutes longer for a 1 to 2-inch steak. Cut tuna into 1-inch slices and place on top of the salad. Drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon dressing. Makes 2 servings.
Per serving: 419 calories (28 percent from fat), 13.2 g fat (2.4 g saturated, 4.1 g monounsaturated), 78 mg cholesterol, 47.5 g protein, 27.0 g carbohydrates, 6.2 g fiber, 352 mg sodium.

Classicism was the most fashionable style in Britain during the Regency period. Forms and motifs from ancient Greece and Rome were the basis of the style. To these were added elements taken from nature, from the arts of ancient Egypt and from French design of the mid-18th century. The combination of different patterns and colours made Regency Classicism a visually rich style.

NEW YORK - Al Gore delivered a blistering denunciation Wednesday of the Bush administration's "twisted values and atrocious policies" in Iraq and demanded the resignation of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, national security adviser Condoleezza Rice and CIA director George Tenet.
Raising his voice to a yell in a speech at New York University, Gore said: "How dare they subject us to such dishonor and disgrace! How dare they drag the good name of the United States of America through the mud of Saddam Hussein's torture prison!"
The Democratic former vice president said the situation in Iraq is spinning out of control.
"I am calling today for Republicans as well as Democrats to join me in asking for the immediate resignations of those immediately below George Bush and Dick Cheney, who are most responsible for creating the catastrophe we are facing in Iraq," Gore said, drawing strong applause from the partisan crowd.
"Donald Rumsfeld ought to resign immediately!" Gore bellowed. "Our nation is at risk every single day Rumsfeld remains as secretary of defense. We need someone with good judgment and common sense."
Rice "ought to resign immediately. She has badly mishandled the coordination of national security policy. This is a disaster for our country," he said.
"It came from twisted values and atrocious policies at the highest levels of our government," he said.
The former presidential candidate was gentler on Tenet, a Clinton administration appointee, describing him as a friend and "honorable man" who should still leave his position for intelligence failures.
The Republican National Committee shot back at Gore, pointing out that while he was vice president terrorists attacked U.S. embassies in Africa, bombed the USS Cole and carried out the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
"Al Gore's attacks on the president today demonstrate that he either does not understand the threat of global terror or he has amnesia," RNC spokesman Jim Dyke said in a statement.

5 Reasons Why Small Business Websites Should Use PinterestJanuary 11th, 2013 by Guest Blogger
Pinterest is quickly becoming the latest craze in social media thanks in large part to its media-centric focus. Its focus is in giving users a way to creatively share their interests with one another quickly and easily. According to social media expert Beth Hayden, Pinterest is "Facebook without the whining."
Founded in 2009 by Ben Silbermann, Pinterest has burst onto the social media scene since beginning an open BETA test a year later. After the introduction of their iPhone application brought an unprecedented number of users to the site, it was named one of Time's '50 Websites That Make the Web Great'. It's no surprise that more and more small businesses are using this rising social media star to improve their business.
Unique Approach
Pinterest's unique approach of using images to convey messages represents a chance for companies to speak to their customers in a new way. It provides a unique avenue of advertising and allows users to identify with the brand.
Product Placement
Many businesses are seeing the benefits of finding interesting ways to share their products on Pinterest. Users can easily share the products they enjoy with their friends without it feeling commercial.
Share Your Message
Because the content on Pinterest is directly tied to other social media content and blogging, it's a great way to boost traffic to your company blog or website. Simply include this information in your image descriptions and users who enjoy your products will find their way to your message.
Mix it Up
Consumers are routinely saturated with a variety of advertising mediums, and sometimes the message can get lost in the shuffle. Pinterest is newer on the scene, making it go-to site for non-traditional advertising. Posting your informational video or clever photograph may just help you connect with a section of your audience you might have otherwise missed.
Market Yourself
If you are a small business that relies on word of mouth, what better way to show off your skills than by posting pictures of you work? Customers will get a first hand look at your experience and the end result of the projects you post. This is the kind of exposure that can lead to more clients.
One of the things you should be wary of on Pinterest is the posting of copyrighted content. To avoid any legal trouble, only post content that either you or your business has the rights to. There have been reports of users losing their accounts because of posting content that infringed another party's copyright.
Pinterest represents the next generation in advertising for many companies, particularly those with products or skills to market. By taking time to connect with your current customers and potential clients in this way, you can vastly grow the appeal and scope of your business.

Destination: Czech Republic
Morning Links: Museum of Broken Relationships, GlobalPost and More
by Michael Yessis | 01.12.09 | 8:27 AM ET
- GlobalPost begins its "bold journey to redefine international news for the digital age."
- Two Japanese restaurants split the $100,000 bill on a bluefin tuna. Yumiko Ono says it tasted "smooth, succulent and a little on the light side."
- Turns out cities impair our brains.
- More than 200 people are feared dead after a ferry sank off Indonesia's Sulawesi island.
- During the last two years an estimated 1.5 billion passengers flew on U.S. airlines. Not one of them died as a result of a crash.
- The Los Angeles Times tried out Row44, "a soon-to-debut satellite Wi-Fi system" for airlines.
- Daisann McLaine tells why she always visits supermarkets when she travels.
- Kristen Wiig and Neil Patrick Harris played long-nailed air traffic controllers on Saturday Night Live.
- Alexandr Vondra, the Czech Deputy Prime Minister, says "art is to arouse emotions." A map of European cliches and stereotypes commissioned by the Czech Republic is succeeding on that count.
- The Las Vegas Mob museum is stirring up controversy in Washington, D.C.
- The Museum of Broken Relationships—"an exhibition of the relics of failed love"—opened in Singapore last week. It's perfect for anyone who wants to see "an axe used by a woman to break up her ex-girlfriend's furniture, along with the broken furniture."
Where We're Eating: New York, Czech Republic
by David Farley | 01.07.09 | 4:46 PM ET
Why should you care? Because we don't want you to eat badly on the road. Based on recent visits, I heartily recommend:
- Seäsonal (New York, NY): The umlaut says it all: haute Austrian fare with—wait for it—seasonal ingredients. Curiously enough, for a cuisine that comes from a landlocked country, the best dishes on the menu are seafood, particularly the pumpkin seed-encrusted sea bass. Superb Austrian wine list.
- Reflections (Lake Placid, NY): Stupid name, but the meaty Adirondack-inspired dishes make up for it: poached wild salmon, tender lamb chops, steak. One of the better restaurants in a town largely devoid of good eating.
- Penzion Pod Zamkem (Jindrichuv Hradec, Czech Republic): If you find yourself in south Bohemia and starving for something other than beef goulash or 52 different kinds of pork dishes, this small hotel restaurant in the over-looked, castle town of Jindrichuv Hradec will hit the spot. Avoid the Meet (sic) Snails and go right for the steak cooked in a cognac and foie gras reduction.
The Rise and Fall and Rise of Beer in the U.S.
by David Farley | 12.22.08 | 6:52 PM ET
Hhmm…beer. It's hard to believe now, but in 1873, there were 4,000 breweries in the United States. Brooklyn alone boasted 50. But Prohibition followed by industrialization wiped out nearly all the breweries. And by 1965 there were only a couple megalithic beer factories serving watered-down suds and just one craft beer maker in the country (Anchor Steam). This info comes to us from a recently published New Yorker piece by Burkhard Bilger on Dogfish Brewery.
Coincidentally, Czech beer buff and author of The Good Beer Guide Prague & The Czech Republic, Evan Rail, recently wrote about the numerous (and long-gone) breweries in 19th-century Prague. But let's not start weeping in our pints of PBR just yet. According to Bilger there are now 1,500 breweries in the United States, and when I checked in with Evan Rail, he had this to say about brewing in the country that consumes more beer per capita than anywhere in the world: "When my book was published, there were about 102 (plus or minus) total breweries in the Czech Republic, counting brewpubs, micros and industrial brewers. Now it's 122. That's a gain of just under 20% in 18 months."
We'll most certainly toast to that.
Something's Rotten in the Kingdom of Wallachia
by Valerie Conners | 10.08.08 | 11:22 AM ET
Fictitious Wallachia Kingdom, a popular tourist venture in the Czech Republic's Wallachia region, is having a bit of a political coup crisis. Turns out the "king"—who happens to be a trained clown—is suing the "foreign minister" for rights to rule the land. The case has made its way into the actual Czech court system. Yes, this is a supremely weird story. But what do I think is the strangest part?

Should Czech Travelers (and Everyone Else) Leave Their Food at Home?
by Eva Holland | 06.11.08 | 12:10 PM ET
Nearly 10 percent of Czechs take their summer holidays in Croatia, and most of them fill their cars with groceries from home before they cross the border. So when Croatia banned the import of meat and dairy products last week, self-catering Czech travelers were incensed. But, says Guardian blogger Kevin Rushby, tourists who travel with BYO groceries are missing half the fun.

Prague Latest Magnet for Misbehaving Brits
by Julia Ross | 08.06.07 | 12:30 PM ET
Is Eastern Europe under siege by badly behaving Brits? We've heard about kilt-wearing, buttocks-baring Scots in Poland and sex tourists in Latvia. Now Prague is attracting attention for out-of-control "stag and hen parties" thrown by UK weekenders. A report released last week by the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office says the Czech Republic sees a higher proportion of traveling Brits requiring consular assistance than any other country, citing stag night revellers for much of the mischief.
Happy Birthday, Prague's Charles Bridge
by Jim Benning | 07.13.07 | 1:17 PM ET
Prague's landmark Charles Bridge, one of Europe's most arresting sights, turned 650 years old this week. The Prague Post covered the city's elaborate festivities and recounted a little bridge history: "According to legend, King Charles IV, later to become Holy Roman Emperor, laid the foundation at 5:31 a.m. July 9, 1357, after consulting astrologers to come up with the palindromic time and date sequence of 1357-9-7-531." A Charles Bridge webcam shows plenty of people out enjoying the bridge today. I dialed up World Hum contributor David Farley, who lived in Prague for three years and edited Travelers' Tales Prague and ask him about his memories of the bridge.
Caught in a Czech Funk
by David Farley | 02.21.07 | 5:57 AM ET
All David Farley wanted from the tourist information office in the tiny town of Nove Hrady was directions to the train station. Then he asked the young clerk a seemingly innocuous question: Was that funk booming from the speakers?
Paulina Porizkova: A Model Traveler

Chodová Planá, Czech Republic
by Ben Keene | 04.14.06 | 9:45 AM ET
Coordinates: 49 50N 12 44E
Annual beer production: 2,378,000 gallons (90,000 hectoliters)
Clever advertisers may have come up with the slogan "Heineken refreshes the parts other beers cannot reach" for the Dutch brewer, but it took Czech ingenuity to turn a tagline into reality. Perhaps in an effort to cater to a local population that leads the world in per capita beer consumption, the Chodovar Family Brewery in Western Bohemia recently began offering a unique type of therapy in the form of real beer baths. Bizarre as the notion of soaking in a hot tub of yeast and herbs may sound to some, the owners certainly chose their location well—the geothermal activity beneath this forested region of the country has drawn people to its salubrious spas and mineral springs for centuries.
David Farley and Jessie Sholl: A Passion for Prague
by Jim Benning | 03.06.06 | 1:02 AM ET
They met seven years ago in Prague. Now, they've edited a new Travelers' Tales Prague collection. Jim Benning asks the pair about the city's unique appeal.

Skip to comments.NSA director: Edward Snowden has caused irreversible damage to US
Posted on 06/23/2013 1:16:22 PM PDT by redreno
click here to read article
Not really. The ones who really control America and thus use frauds like little barry bastard boy will just let the noise subside then go right on with their plans for global governance and control. The We The People Constitutional Republic is a figment of memory, not a running reality now.
This guy Keith Alexander maybe a decent, honorable man. the problem is, he works for a regime that is dishonorable, and lawless. The majority in the country do not trust this Chi-Town thug government.
When first you set out to deceive,
don't be surprised that folks disbelieve.
These guys have themselves tied in knots. Ludicrous.
General Alexander told ABC's This Week: "This is an individual who is not acting, in my opinion, with noble intent ...
Is the General talking about his boss?
I estimate his weight to be around 800 lbs.
>> Edward Snowden has caused irreversible damage to US
That makes two. Possible Beer Summit ahead?
Now that there is the truth. This is what it all about ... preventing dissent.
Well said.
The types you described are not conservative, they are Trotskyites, Statist and not worthy of freedom.
"I'll take my chances with the terrorists"
yup, I'm with you. The terrorist boogieman has nothing on Big Brother whose tentacles go from DC into every tiny little enclave in our Country. Rural America; its everywhere and nowhere is safe.
Has your local or County Law Enforcement taken any govt money via federal programs? Guess what little town, you've been compromised by the enemy.
The irony is that far too many of FreeRepublic are up in arms over our enemy getting secrets. Who is more dangerous to me and my family this very moment - China, Russia or my own Govt and it's propaganda machine the MSM?
ANY damage that has been caused was caused by NSA, Obama, his democrats, all others that have violated our Constitution and their oaths.
No doubt, but I still say what Snowden did was very foolish. First off it isn't going to change anything, and second he basically destroyed his life. He would have been a lot more effective and more of a "hero" if he collected evidence pointing all the way to the top: For example our twice unconstitutionally elected admitted foreign born POTUS giving the order to harass conservatives groups such as the Tea party.
They want to keep the focus on Snowden and avoid what he revealed.
I do not disagree. But FR is full of them. Just read ANY thread on this issue and you'll see many.
National Security Agency director Keith Alexander wants to keep his cushy, lazy ass job.
That is it in a nutshell.
Night of the Hawks
No, they expect the masses to roar in approval when an American non-muslim is executed by Dear Leader without any due process using a drone, sniper, or SPECOPS team.
Danmation Alley/Your Secrets Safe with Me
Keith Alexander , FU! , YOU have caused irreversible damage with your wanton disregard for the constitution.
They couldnt prevent Boston....they are more concerned with going after Tea Partiers than Muslim terrorists.
Tea Partiers use their real names , don't encrypt communications and don't use "burn" phones ,,, they're the easy target ... The muslim terrorists are the protected class ... stopping terrorisn is EASY if we just stop protecting the perps ... hell the White Hut with bath-house Barry won't even allow the bad guys to be named...
for the NSA : detonator RDX detonator RDX pressure cooker
Better Cleaner Version
However, somebody just tied Clapper together with Snowden in a koinkydink ~ they both worked for the same company!
Regarding any of their public statements these guys are not authorized to declassify anything, and just about everything about NSA is classified. That means if they say anything of substance they are either in violation of the classification rules or they are lying.
Since we have no independent way of knowing we have to assume they lie!
NSA is just another Federal jobs program
You could spy and collect on the people (terrorist and foreign enemies) that you really need to for one tenth the billions being spent. But Senators are idiots and will fund NSA based on the hi tech mumbo jumbo run by them for appropriations. But in order to build a bureaucratic empire and funnel billions to their contractor buddies (for kickbacks) NSA has to get bigger and bigger and expand its mission to collect information on everyone living in the USA
Snowden is not the hero you think he is due to his actions and his choices. That charge would have come from any administration, not just 0's.
Going through hostile territory does not help Snowden's case. The kind of damage that he caused is not something attributable to any particular administration. He has made it that much easier for the next attack on the US to happen by his actions and his travels through hostile countries.
He can't hide forever and he will be caught by the United States. If there are people helping him, they will end up with the same fate as Snowden's.
..."If Trailblazer was a massive corporate boondoggle, ThinThread was the embodiment of the skunk team approach that had made the NSA the crown jewel of US intelligence. It cost less than $3 million, was small enough to be loaded onto a laptop, and included anonymization software that protected the privacy rights of US persons guaranteed in the 1978 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).
And while Trailblazer employed hundreds of contractors, ThinThread was the work of less than a dozen NSA employees and a handful of contractors."
Read more: Obama's Crackdown on Whistleblowers | The Nation http://www.thenation.com/article/173521/obamas-crackdown-whistleblowers#ixzz2X4rwGOcj
This NSA probem didn't happen overnight. It began when Gen Michael Hayden chose outside contractors and their spy project the TrailBlazer over the inside NSA project ThinThread. TrailBlazer cost billions and invaded our privacy. ThinThread was a project done by scientists inside the NSA, cost 3 million and didn't invade our privacy. This is the time when the outside contractors not only entered the NSA zone but also started hiring outside people willy nilly - how many did they hire that were/are spies? The original inside NSA whistleblowers (one of which was involved in creating ThinThread), who were persecuted for years, were right.
He's right, of course. Because of Snowden's actions, 300,000,000 terrorists now know about the NSA's program.
Snowden saved us from Alexanders gestapo!
I didn't call him a hero. I said he did what many of us begged for and some of us turned on him will all the grace of a liberal.
The bottom line is that anyone here saying at this moment, that he is a traitor, stand up proudly and tell the world that YOU would trust your life/future/family to the creatures now running the GOP for protection.
If you can't or won't, you might want to ask yourself again why he did what he did.
"Allies" being most of the governments and government-linked corporations against their private sector enemies, we presume.
Why should we trust anybody in a government that ignores and subverts the will of the people?
The problem with that it doesnt serve Snowden's agenda, much less the agendas of the people helping him. In a strange sense, he has helped the very adminisration that he appears to oppose.
So not only has he gone against the US, he inadvertently has helped the very people he criticized.
What about the others who've leaked details about the illegal surveillance?
He didn't release anything. All this is a smokescreen.
Snowden is the new Emmanuel Goldstein.
Just wait to see if a Republican gets the office of POTUS. Every damn RAT will be
squealing like stuck pigs about over-reach! The Same damn Over-reach the RATs are guilty of,
the same damn laws they pushed and used over-reachingly (sp) politically.
Those lining up with Obama and the anti-Constitution (damm their rights and freedoms) crowd are the one who are causing irreversible damage to US, not Snowden who has exposed the illegal activity of this govt.
Just think, Adam and Eve only got to taste the fruit.
If what we read about the Snowden affair is truthful, then
isn't it wonderful we have the technology to know everything about good and evil? /s
I was on the fence before. Now I'm sure Snowden is the good guy.
Yep. I stated that I'd hold my peace until I could find out exactly what it was that Snowden revealed that was genuinely damaging. So far, nada. And the "well, it was horrible but we can't tell you what it was because it's classified" argument stinks like a three-day-dead fish. If he revealed it and it's damaging, there isn't much use to keep it classified, is there?
From http://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/article/1260306/edward-snowden-classified-us-data-shows-hong-kong-hacking-targets
Snowden, the man behind explosive leaks of information on the US government's Prism programme that collected phone and web data from its citizens, has pledged to stay in Hong Kong to fight any attempts by his government to have him extradited.
The detailed records - which cannot be independently verified - show specific dates and the IP addresses of computers in Hong Kong and on the mainland hacked by the National Security Agency over a four-year period.
They also include information indicating whether an attack on a computer was ongoing or had been completed, along with an amount of additional operational information.
The small sample data suggests secret and illegal NSA attacks on Hong Kong computers had a success rate of more than 75 per cent, according to the documents. The information only pertains to attacks on civilian computers with no reference to Chinese military operations, Snowden said.
IMHO, this is a criminal exposure of classified techniques.
Considering both China and the US have been constructing Zettabyte Data Centers, they both are operating along similar lines and haven for a decade.
clintonh8r: Baraq Hussein 0bama has done irreversible damage to the United States
Ok, fair enough. I would agree that calling him a traitor would be overdoing it.
That said, he has done things that make uncomfortable questions in uncomfortable places, especially given that national defense/security has not been questioned much until now. That is where I have an issue, since this cuts into any legitimate work that the NSA may do to prevent harm from groups that oppose anyone from the United States.
For what I see of it, he couldn't handle doing the job, knowing that it put too much stress against his personal values. It's not something that isn't exactly unheard of in that line of work, but it is exceptionally rare for someone to go as far as Snowden.
Comfort is going to be something foreign to him for the rest of his life. I hope he understands that, since he will eventually have only one companion that he can trust.
Oh he will have a bitch of a life, no doubt. The thing is, to me, there is all this feigned outrage on the right over him when not a day goes by that Obama and co do not fund terrorism, sending BILLIONS to the people trying to kill us. I do not see the level of sustained outrage directed at Snowden ever. It happens and people ignore the FACT the GOP could stop it, defund it, shut govt down if needed EVERY TIME.
And what does the GOP do? Take advantage of the convenient scapegoat to pile on. What do many Freepers do? Pile on.
He may well turn out to be a full blown traitor. But that does nothing to obscure the reality that our Govt considers us the enemy while funding AQ or the MB.
Yeh, now the American public has wised up. That is definitely not what the NSA was looking for.

Grandparents Fumbling With Computer Become Internet Sensations Thanks To GrandkidMonica Bielanko
Cutest grandparents ever. Seemingly best marriage ever. Seriously. It's hard to figure you haven't seen the couple from Oregon who everyone with an internet connection is talking about.
Just in case you were without power the last few hours, here's the gist. 86-year-old Bruce Huffman and his wife, Esther, 79, recently bought their very first laptop computer with a built-in webcam.
Last month they sat down to try and make heads or tails out of the thing. They were attempting to make a video with the webcam, something their granddaughter had tried to show them a few days before. But if you've ever tried to teach a parent how to Skype or, hell, even just connect to the internet, you know how that little lesson probably ended. So Esther's trying to figure out how to work the newfangled contraption while Bruce is amusing himself by looking at himself in the image on the computer.
As David Lohr at the Huffington Post writes, "The nearly three minute video captures Bruce making funny faces, singing, burping and at one point, during a moment of levity, he got a little flirtatious with his wife. "See how pretty your hair is?" he said. "Just drop your dress a little bit and see your boobies."
"I was trying to figure out how to do the videos and didn't know the thing was actually running," Esther told The Huffington Post. "All the while, Bruce was kind of amusing himself because he was bored. He was being quite an actor."
When the couple's granddaughter later saw the video, she titled it "Web Cam 101 for Seniors" and uploaded it on YouTube. The rest is history.
Oh boy do I love this couple. You know Esther's a firecracker what with the dangly earings and all the gum-chewing, which, incidentally, she's embarrassed about.
"I did not know anything about YouTube, but apparently, it is spreading like wildfire," Esther said.
"I wouldn't have looked that way," she said. "I guess I have to quit chewing gum. I look like a cow chewing gum so quickly."
While they still haven't made a video, they haven't given up trying just yet.
"We're still trying to figure out how to work it," Bruce said. "But we're having fun trying."
While their candid video is endearing the modest couple to the World Wide Web, they have no immediate plans of making another video.

Human-Looking Ultra Real Robot
Developed by Hanson Robotics, Jules is their latest humanoid creation, which made its official debut at NextFest 2006.
"Jules is something of a complete package with a combination of interesting features. By integrating natural language processing with ASR, TTS, computer vision, artistry, and narrative, you can have a natural, interactive conversation with Jules.
The software allowing Jules such advanced capacity for interaction was developed in collaboration with Personality Forge, Benji Adams, and Heather McKeen. Jules combines the work of writers who author the robots dialogue using chat-bot tools, with natural-language AI (such as LSA statistical search techniques) and word.net to simulate an human conversational intelligence.
Jules also uses computer vision, including face tracking and face recognition, to simulate complete verbal and nonverbal interaction, such as maintaining eye contact and turning to follow fellow conversationalists. Jules now resides at the University of West England in Bristol."

In danger of losing freedomApril 09,2014Did anyone really believe that the state would stop at controlling only school transportation? Does anyone really believe that the federal government will stop at only controlling our health care? When will freedom-loving, independent-thinking Vermonters take back their power to say no? One of the greatest gifts our forefathers gave us was the right to free speech and self-governance. If we continue to allow the erosion of our God-given rights, then we are doomed to failure. Ultimately, we, the people, control our destiny, and state and federal elected officials are only there because we allow them to be. If youre OK with being led in the direction we are going, then continue to sit back and enjoy. If you disagree, then get off your butt and say or do something to change it because this train is headed for a cliff and we are all in peril.

Managed to stay within limits again, I think I'm getting the hang of this.
Went out to feed the animals yesterday to find out that raccoons had dug under the wire enclosure for my chickens and had made off with two of them overnight. Stopped by the store on the way to work and grabbed a nice shed with windows and a skylight. Got home around 7:30 and spent the next five hours or so assembling the thing with my dad. Good thing we did too, about halfway through I heard a commotion coming from the chickens' pen and ran over to it. Didn't see what had them freaked out but I stuck the chickens in a carrier and kept them close to us until it was done. They seem content with their new shelter.
Finally got inside exhausted, hungry, and my computer wasn't working so I got some of the beef, with accompanying broth, that I'd had in the slow cooker all day, added some butter and grabbed some brie and called it dinner.
Computer is up now, the UPS just overloaded so it was a simple fix.

Bomber pilots knew him as Widow Six Seven, never suspecting the voice on the radio belonged to the soldier formerly known as Prince. For 10 weeks, Harry, 23, third in line to Britain's throne, fought in Afghanistan's war-torn Helmand Province, where he commanded a Spartan tank and fired a .50 caliber machine gun at Taliban-led insurgents. Back home March 1, he shrugged off praise: "There were two injured guys on the plane with us. One had lost two limbs ... those are the heroes."
Media outlets (including PEOPLE) had embargoed news of his deployment, until the Drudge Report leaked the story Feb. 28. Whisked back to England, Harry soon reunited with his Zimbabwe-bred girlfriend Chelsy Davy, 22. His hope: to get back on the front lines and fight again. "I would like to still be out there with the guys," he says. "This is about as normal as I'm ever going to get."

"Tom just got married," I told her.
"At 22? That'll never last," she scoffed. "He's way too young."
My own excellent manners prevented me from telling her just how rude this remark was. Apparently, she took my silence for encouragement.
"Fifty percent of marriages end in divorce," she said, almost gleefully.
"Actually, the odds are even worse than that," I told her. "I read that just 15 percent of marriages entered into by people under the age of 25 endure. But Tom and Amy can beat those odds. They're both remarkable people."
She snickered. "If you say so."
"So what's your daughter up to? I asked.
Turns out that she was living with her parents, baking cookies, watching reality TV, and trying to figure out what to do with her life.
And this mom was disparaging my kid's life choices? Tom is independent, happy, and in love. He and his wife have good jobs, even in this crazy economy. Had they asked, I probably would have advised them to wait a few years before getting hitched. But my son didn't ask me. He told me, expecting me to whoop with joy and wish them the best. And I did.
You get a wide range of responses when you tell folks that your 22-year-old son is getting hitched. Not all of them are welcome.
"Is she pregnant?" more than one person asked.
Again, having been raised to be polite, I refrained from responding, "And exactly what makes you think that's any of your bleeping business?"
My favorite responses, of course, were from all the folks who told me they'd married young and enjoy wonderful, long-lasting unions. Happily, there are more of them than I'd have thought.
"They'll grow together," one woman assured me.
"As long as neither of them expects the other one to stay exactly the same," a woman approaching her own 50th wedding anniversary told me, "they'll be just fine."
Then there are the clowns.
"Married already?" one of Tom's old teachers said. "That kid always was an overachiever."
"They'll have plenty of time to get married a couple more times," joked one old codger.
Here's a tip: If you can't bring yourself to be supportive, a simple "I wish them the best!" will do. If you have doubts, please keep them to yourself. I don't need to hear that getting married at 22 was the biggest mistake you ever made. Even if it's true. (Especially if it's true.)
I waited until I was 34 to get married, and I still married Mr. Wrong. Had I married the guy I was crazy about when I was 22, would we still be together? Would we be happy? Who knows?
Am I sorry I waited to marry? How could I be? If I'd done anything else, I wouldn't have my son.
There's no way to know for certain how anyone's marriage will turn out. I raised my son to make good choices, and so far he has. The kids are in love. Why not get married? Somebody has to live happily ever after. Why not my son and his bride?

Women love to have an attractive figure and bigger bust size is definitely an asset that can fetch attention towards them. Besides surgical methods or the one in which you apply loads of serums and creams to increase bust, doing some exercises can increase bust too.
So if you wish to increase the breast naturally, without any side effect, you must do several exercises. Flat chest press is an exercise which helps you gain bust mass. To do this, you require taking dumbbell in each hand. Make sure that your wrists are neutral while you do this and palms face in forward direction.
Now bend the elbows at 90 degrees parallel to shoulder. You have to exhale when you extend the arms upwards with the knuckles facing upwards. Inhale to return to the position squeezing your chest muscles.Push ups are another form of exercise that helps you to gain a good bust size.
Besides giving good body shape, it helps to enhance the breasts. So to do this, lie on the ground on stomach and keep the palms over floor. Keep your feet apart from each other and keep the neck and hand in line with the spine.

Try to pull yourself up and let the body weight rest on the hands and toes. Exhale all through the process and get back to normal position when you return back inhaling. This exercise is really popular amongst women because of its multi benefits.
Incline chest press is another form of exercise that helps women get bigger breasts. This exercise is quite similar to flat chest press but in this one, the inclination of elbows is just about 45 degrees. This new position stress over different body muscles and has better effect on the body.
Lie down with your face up with dumbbell in each hand and keep the palm facing forward. Try to incline elbows at 45 degrees and then exhale as your arms are stretched upwards. Inhale while you squeeze the pectoral muscles to return to normal position. So do these exercises to experience a much better bust size.

Georgia Administrative License Suspension Form (Form 1205)
In the State of Georgia, 100% of the people who are given a DUI ticket are usually given an administrative license suspension form. This document is a piece of paper that the officer hands you that tells you that your privilege to drive is going to be suspended unless you do certain things to protect your right to drive. This form has to be responded to within 10 business days after your arrest. We can assist you with that form because it is a fairly complicated procedure and you have to make sure that you have proof that you delivered the notice to the Department of Driver Services. This used to be called the Department of Motor Vehicle Safety. This form is very critical to your case and we'll tell you more about how your hearing on that matter can help win your DUI case.

North Augusta's Scott Brown's first experience competing in a major championship wasn't quite realized last week. The North Augusta resident and former USC Aiken star missed the cut in the British Open after struggling for a second day at Muirfield in Gullane, Scotland.
Following an opening-round 79, Brown's 81 on Friday left him at 18-over par, 10 strokes off the cut line. His round included five bogeys, three doubles and one birdie. His two-day total of 160 included 13 bogeys, four doubles and three birdies.
Brown got off to a bad start, making double bogey on No. 1. Although he followed with four consecutive pars, he never got those strokes back. His toughest stretch of the day came midway through the back nine, when he made another double on No. 13 before making bogey on the next three holes. Brown still carded a better score than one of his playing partners, as Satoshi Kodaira finished a stroke behind (80-81-161). Gareth Maybin, the third member of the group, shot 76 but still finished outside of the cut.
Brown can take some solace in knowing that he wasn't alone in struggling. Past major-championship winners such as Rory McIlroy (79-75–154), Justin Rose (75-77–152), Vijay Singh (77-77–154), Lucas Glover (80-76–156) and Nick Faldo (79-78–157) all failed to make the cut.
Although Brown failed to qualify for the weekend, he's assured of playing in another major this year. When Brown won the Puerto Rico Open, he not only regained his PGA Tour card through 2015, but also automatically qualified for the PGA Championship, which will be held Aug. 8-11 at Oak Hill Country Club in Rochester, N.Y.

During 1966 and 1967, 29 of the 39 hospitals conducting internships approved by the American Medical Association in New Jersey and representing more than 80% of the interns in the state joined in an internship evaluation by means of a preinternship and postinternship National Board Part III Examination. Through the cooperation of the hospitals' directors of medical education, there was almost 100% enrollment in the program by interns in participating hospitals. Improvement between the preinternship and postinternship examination was roughly the same for foreign as for American graduates, although foreign graduates obtained lower scores. Performance by American graduates was similar to performance of American graduates in other large groups. There was a large conversion from fail to pass among foreign graduates.

Anybody who watched the Falcons last season saw that Steven Jackson was cooked -- or at least appeared to be. Not only did he fail to crack 100 total yards in all but one of the 12 games he played, but he only averaged 3.5 yards per carry in 2013, the lowest mark of his career. Add in the fact that he turned 31 in July, and the days of relying on Jackson as a solid fantasy contributor are likely done.
Enter rookie runner Devonta Freeman, a fourth-round pick out of Florida State.
For the time being, Freeman will battle it out with Jacquizz Rodgers for No. 2 duties. However, considering Rodgers has only managed to chew off 3.6 yards per carry over his career, the "competition" really shouldn't last long.

There have been positive and negative bits of news coming out of camp regarding Freeman. Following the Falcons' three-day rookie minicamp, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution called Freeman a "keeper". He's reportedly shown burst and nice hands, but head coach Mike Smith has said that he needs to improve in pass protection -- and if you can't protect the QB, you won't play. The good news is Freeman showed the ability to pass block in college, so it may just be a matter of him adjusting to the higher level of play.
Assuming he gets up to speed in pass protection and blitz pickup, Freeman should be given plenty of opportunity to unseat Rodgers as the clear No. 2, putting him in a position to start siphoning touches from Jackson.
While he may not completely overtake Jackson as the starter, Freeman should emerge as a solid contributor as both a runner and receiver out of the backfield in his first season and could do some damage even if he only receives 45-50 percent of the running back snaps.
CWi Last Word: Jackson is 31-years-old, and Rodgers has done little to suggest he deserves a more significant role. Freeman is the only Falcon back worth investing in this season. Draft him late and hope he supplies value as a flex.

_04/05/11_ Twenty Eight My wife's birthday is tomorrow, and then she will no longer be this age. I'm a tad older and will be turning the dreaded 30 this year... any ideas for that photo of the day? For this photo, I used an old typewriter that I keep lying around to type the numbers on construction paper. I lit it with my flash directly above and right next to the paper to really bring out the details. I got as close as my macro lens would let me - it took several tries to get one with proper focus across the entire image. [last year]

People wandering through Ron Galati's South Philadelphia auto-body shop could be forgiven for thinking they'd stumbled upon an urban hunting lodge.
There were deer heads mounted on the walls and carcasses, fur, and blood stored in the back.
In reality, says Philadelphia District Attorney Seth Williams, the shop was an elaborate staging area for a $5 million scheme that defrauded auto insurance companies and involved a police officer and city worker.
Galati - an alleged mob associate awaiting trial for paying to kill three people - was in the business, according to a grand jury, of "fictitious deer accidents."
He is accused of having workers pull weeds from the river bands at Penrose Avenue to create what Galati called "Hollywood photos" of bogus crashes.
