Skip to comments.Mother of 3 hunts terrorists at night
Posted on 07/12/2004 6:58:06 AM PDT by Dog Gone
CONRAD, MONT. - By day, shes the municipal judge of this tiny town, a wife and mother of three, but by moonlight Shannen Rossmiller is a spy.
Then, Rossmiller petite, blond and 34 assumes one of several unlikely false identities, all angry, violent, Muslim men, nurturing hatred of the United States. In that guise, she combs the Internet through the late evening and early morning and sifts through the messages and declarations on extremist Islamic Web sites.
During those hours, Rossmiller is on a quest that consumes hours of each day, days of each week. Its one that will place her on the stand Thursday as the governments primary witness against a National Guardsman accused of offering information to help Muslim extremists kill U.S. troops.
Its a quest that has already placed her in danger.
Rossmiller works with an exclusive group, a coalition of seven civilians, international "cyber spies" who chase terrorists on the Internet.
They call themselves the "7-Seas."
Until recently they were a largely unknown, almost clandestine bunch. Named for its global scope, the group consists of Rossmiller; a nuclear physicist/software designer in Canada; a corporate security consultant in Houston; a former private detective in Singapore; an Australian; and two other Americans.
They might have remained unknown. That is, if some of Rossmillers efforts hadnt paid off, if she hadnt run across Ryan Anderson, a National Guardsman accused of attempting to defect to al-Qaida and offering information on troop strength and vulnerable points on a Bradley Fighting Vehicle.
Rossmiller never planned to be a witness. But then, shed never planned to become a spy. She had grown up, married and pursued her career in the little town of 2,750.
There, Rossmiller was perfectly happy as municipal judge and might have remained so if she hadnt broken her pelvis.
"It happened on the evening of 9/11," said Rossmiller. "Wed put in a new shower, I was just stepping into it and there I went. I was incapacitated for the next six weeks and all I heard was the news.
"I couldnt avoid it, and I couldnt help but feel that I had to do something."
Her first thought was to join the National Guard, a plan her husband, emphatically opposed. Rossmiller, however, describes herself as passionate in all her pursuits, and it wasnt long before she found a new avenue.
"I began fishing around on the Internet and I found these groups," she said.
The "groups" included both the violent fringe of Islamic extremists and those who tracked them. Soon, Rossmiller was conversing with Brent Astley, the Canadian member, and others in the 7-Seas, and found herself drawn into their efforts.
"Were not a bunch of alarmists, and were not politically motivated," said Dave, the Houston member who agreed to speak if not identified. "Were probably the only group of our kind. Most of us have never met the others in person, but were all joined by the desire to stop terrorism in any form.
"I guess were like a parody of a spy novel, but were real."
Rossmillers role, however, was circumventing reality. Once she joined 7-Seas, she began creating various personae of violent, Islamic men.
"Id never be taken seriously at those Web sites as a woman," she said.
An early riser, she makes most of her communications between the hours of 4 a.m. and 7 a.m., when it is afternoon in the Middle East.
Her efforts soon paid off. Within a few months of searching, she began communicating with a person who claimed to be an arms dealer. She calls him "Rocket Man."
"This character said he had missiles and missile parts for sale," said Rossmiller. "I went about it pretty slowly, said I didnt believe him.
"I really didnt believe it when he sent me a picture of himself and his address."
Rossmiller turned the dealer in to the FBI. Shes never learned what was done with the information.
Then, last October, she came across a man who called himself "Amir Abdul Rashid, a brother fighting on the wrong side." In reality, "Rashid" allegedly was Anderson, a 26-year-old tank driver with the 81st Armor Brigade at Fort Lewis.
Rossmiller will not discuss her upcoming testimony in Andersons court-martial. Her testimony in the May hearing, however, made it clear that she had extensive communication with the guardsman.
"This is like a second job for all of us," she said. "I probably devote as much time to it as I do to being a judge."
After exchanging 27 e-mails with "Rashid," Rossmiller called the FBI. Undercover agents then met with Anderson in a secretly videotaped session, during which he designated vulnerable points on a tank and offered other information.
Rossmiller netted an arrest.
"Shannens the only member of the group who makes contact with terrorists," said Astley, the longest tenured of the 7-Seas.
"I guess we could be likened to a militia and have been. For the most part we visit terrorist Web sites. We analyze the data and we try to inform the appropriate authorities.
"But the word militia has some unpleasant connotations. We believe in what were doing and we try to bring terrorists to justice, but were not vigilantes. ... "
Often, said Astley, the group has no idea what is done with the warnings they pass on to authorities.
Within the latter group however, 7-Seas has drawn some small praise.
"We applaud their efforts, what little we know of them," said Elizabeth Bancroft, executive director of the Association of Former Intelligence Officers in Washington, D.C.
That service has a price, however. When Rossmiller was called to testify in Andersons preliminary hearing in May, her identity and her membership in 7-Seas were revealed. Days after she appeared in court, phone threats were called in to Rossmillers office in Conrad, and she has been under police protection since.
The experience was sobering for Rossmiller and other members of her group.
"I think about it, but I dont worry about it constantly. One of the good things about living in a town the size of Conrad is that it would be pretty difficult for a stranger to be here for any length of time and not be noticed."
Wow! A patriotic judge who doesn't just collect a check and play golf.Outstanding!
Courageous woman.
I'm finding myself torn--it's great to read about her, but I wish she were still anonymous....
The best thing about this technique is that it has some salutary effects even if you do it badly. If you get caught out now and again, you're still inciting paranoia and making it more difficult for the enemy to use communications tools as effectively as they would otherwise.
Someone please remind me to never tell the press anything...
If anything happens to this lady, or her family, we need to do something.
Wow. If only more Americans were like her!
How about Minutemen and Minutewomen, similar to the patriots of old. Good to see that others outside of the country see the threat as well.
If more Americans were like her, we'd have constant civilain video surveillance of every mosque in the country, 24/7.
Ditto that. Kudos to a brave American hero, and SHAME on that odious National Guardsman Anderson who swore an oath to protect and defend his country. Court-martialing is too good for his sorry butt.
It's public record since she must appear to testify against Anderson. There's no sense in censoring information already known to an enemy.
but I wish she were still anonymous....
I hope she can stay safe.
I'm glad she now has police protection. Unfortunately, she may need it.
Cut his head off.
I'm particularly annoyed that knowledge about others in the group made it into the paper.
Really annoyed.
She was "outed" some time ago. I was even able to email her some words of support.
The reason the word militia has an 'unpleasant connotation' is because emotionally loaded 'poison buzzwords' are a favorite tactic of the "Anti 2nd Ammendment" people and their media..
They promote the idea that a 'well regulated militia' is something other than what the Constitution says it is..or what American history says 'the militia' was...
The anti Constitution anti freedom commie moles.. have decided to define who the 2nd ammendment applies to....and it isnt 'we the people' btw...at least in their lexicon....
This 'terrorist' Ryan is a complete moron...he was posting quite a bit on busy gun forum for a year or so and was always sympathetic to the muslims and rabidly anti American...he was especially anti Christian and anti Israel... He is punk and so was so open I can believe he wasnt a suspect all along..he also stated that he had just joined the guards.....I dont believe he was competent enough to be a 'real terrorist'..let alone allowed to 'drive' a tank (a tank of a hand held weed sprayer maybe) He is was a wannabe muslim terrorists...a type of 'Taliban' Johnnie ...only about half as bright imo
Chances are he'll get a "tsk-tsk" from the bench, busted a rank or two, and/or dishonorably discharged. I'd prefer jail time for the traitor. I guess we'll see soon enough.
He wants an Islamic life. Give it to him.
Sounds like made for tv movie material. What a great group of patriots, wonder how they got together and if they are expanding membership?
Tells the terrorists that for every one they i8dentify, there's more hiding in the background. They have been compromised.

Rossmiller works with an exclusive group, a coalition of seven civilians, international "cyber spies" who chase terrorists on the Internet.
Columnist Michelle Malkin has some questions on her blog about why this brave woman's cover has been blown, first by the courts, and second by the Chronicle. To be fair to the Chronicle, this is not the first time Rossmiller's story has been told.
There are also a couple of updates at the end of Malkin's blog post, including some thoughts from Andrew McCarthy, a former chief assistant US attorney. He places the blame on our "generous due process standards."
From the Michelle Malkin blog (I advise that those who are interested, read her whole article http://michellemalkin.com/archives/000179.htm )
Okay, here are my questions: This woman and her colleagues are amazing patriots. But why wasn't her identity concealed in court? And why did the Chronicle decide to endanger her even further? As much as I was glad to read the story, it seems to me that the publicity may deter other citizens from undertaking similar efforts--the opposite of what the government would want. Or maybe not...

CBS (Sun.-Mon., Nov. 6-7, 9 p.m. ET)
Internal Affairs is the almost perfect cop show. There are lots of wild mysteries to solve: about a kinky sex murder in Vietnam and an identical one in New York City a dozen years later; about a murderous former chief of detectives who's running a crime ring from prison; about a pair of crooked cop brothers who take drugs from junkies and then sell the stuff back to them. Two smart detectives-played by Richard Crenna and Cliff Gorman—wander New York inspecting crime scenes, looking for clues and talking to strange suspects. They do what any good cops should do—they solve their mysteries step by step. And that simple secret is what is perfect about Internal Affairs: It gives you puzzles worth puzzling over; it makes you care whodunit. The imperfect part is Crenna's romance with Kate Capshaw as a gallery owner. She looks at him and at New York and sighs: "It's electric. Can't you feel it?" He looks at New York and growls: "Yeah, but from where I stand, I can feel the danger." Thank goodness, Crenna doesn't spend too much time being tough yet vulnerable for his lady; he spends most of his time solving crime. That's what will bring you back for the second night. Internal Affairs is a sequel to the 1985 mini Doubletake, but this is far better than the original. It is also, by the way, better than the other mini of the week, below.

maybe i should be a little more specific. my bad the comp series in particular.
March 26, 2010, 07:15 AM
Night vision capability and water resistance (depth). If you don't plan on using NV and you aren't gonna go scuba diving with it, then a Comp ML series is an excellent choice.
Years later, I'm still sticker shocked at the Micro series. $600? That's ACOG money...
March 26, 2010, 11:56 AM
That should help straighten some stuff out.
March 27, 2010, 10:18 AM
Comp ML3 comes in 2 moa or 4 moa dots.
M3 is the same bt offers night vision ability.
ML2 ans M2 are just older versions, no ACET battery life tech.
The ML3 is my favorite. comes with a rubber cover and flip up lens covers. For an Ar a Larue lt129 is a must have mount.
March 27, 2010, 10:37 AM
M2 is cheaper.
M3 has better battery life and an available 2MOA dot.
The Micros are tiny but cost more.
M4 series is a ruggedized version of the M3 with an integral mount. Spendy but you get what you pay for.

Am I the only one that remembers when Florida was THE place for brilliant death metal? That is definitely a ghost from the past, as the major players from that era have seemingly all faded away (or, at a minimum are putting out subpar material). One of those bands that was considered a leader of that pack was Deicide, and much like your Morbid Angels and Obituarys of the Florida world, their music has become little more than tired, regurgitated crud that will draw people to the clubs based solely on their past instead of anything they are doing now. IN THE MINDS OF EVIL feels like a glass of drinking water that you know was recycled from your neighbor's toilet. It may have the feeling that it's refreshing, but you just sense that it's not truly fresh.
I will give it some credit where credit is due. The production value on IN THE MINDS OF EVIL is miles ahead of their last release, TO HELL WITH GOD. That release just sounded terrible, where IN THE MINDS OF EVIL has a big sound to it. You can give that credit to the always solid Jason Suecof. Unfortunately for the band though, the clarity just makes it far more apparent how truly dry the idea well has run. I know that death metal is never the bastion of new ideas, riffs or song structures, but every song should not sound like something you've already heard before. As someone that has enjoyed Deicide for years, songs like "Beyond Salvation" just seem to mimmick the riffs and the attempted "evil" that songs like "Fuck Your God" or "Desecration" not only produced, but produced better in the past. Vocalist Glen Benton has degraded as a vocalist to the point where he no longer offers any variation from song to song or within each song. Not that he ever was much more than an average vocalist, but his completely indistinguishable these days, and it makes listening to IN THE MINDS OF EVIL a fairly dull listen. Guitarists Jack Owen and the new guy, Kevin Quirion have seemingly listened to both Deicide and Morbid Angel's back catalog, picked out riffs, and downgraded them for use on IN THE MINDS OF EVIL. Songs like "Misery Of One", and pretty much every other song on this release sound like every other unmemorable death metal song you've ever heard. This sucks, because Deicide is generally a much better band than this.
PITRIFF RATING - 35/100 - In a word, boring. In another word, recycled. IN THE MINDS OF EVIL is a boring, unmemorable release from a band who used to have so much more edge than this. Maybe it's age or maybe it's the fact that there's just no reason to try as hard as they once did, but whatever the case, IN THE MINDS OF EVIL is just not very good.

The KC-46A is intended to replace the Air Force's aging fleet of KC-135 Stratotankers. It was announced Wednesday that Seymour Johnson Air Force Base will not be among the first installations to receive the aircraft.
They still believe that, eventually, Seymour Johnson Air Force will host a fleet of KC-46As -- that 916th Air Refueling Wing crews are "well-positioned" to command the state-of-the-art tankers that will enhance refueling capacity and capabilities, improve efficiency and increase...

Again... I don't agree... You can set the default validFrom,
validTo of self-signed certificates to be from beginning of
time to the end of time. So it will behave exactly the same
as RSA keys.

I don't agree...
If I implement PKCS#11, I should consider how people mostly
use PKCS#11...
As generic as PKCS#11 is, it is used in X.509 environment
where it hold a private key and a certificate.
In the none-standard environments (ssh, gpg) people tend to
use only raw keys.
Part of my mission of adding support for PKCS#11 interface
to open source applications is to make them more standard,
so that they can be used in environments where it was
difficult to be used so far.

These are not two separate issues. If openssh will not
support X.509, I will still require X.509 certificate on the
PKCS#11 token. I will not support a tokens that are outside
of X.509 world.

You can use ssh-agent ssh....

OK... If all be accepted with the agent, I will patch ssh also.
Although I think current design can be improved if ssh-agent
will be implemented as a library and be used by ssh if it
cannot find running ssh-agent. There is no point in
duplicating code...

You can still use public key hash... I simply don't like
it... So it only demonstrate that ssh can be plain, simple,

True... pam_pkcs11 did a wonderful work on parsing
extensions... You can provide it as a library then it can be
used by many applications.

ssh, ssh-add find their agent by looking on environment

Not on current up-stream implementation.

1. If you don't askpin program, ssh-agent will fail and
won't prompt anything.
2. You can config your own askpass program that takes the
PIN from other place (Like environment or file)

Well... I will be glad to receive other comments regarding
this... I really don't think so...

I think that unlock should be enough...

All can be provided... But first major issues should be

A racist term for Mexicans referring to the way hop over the border. See chile shitter beaner greaser

by LaRon May 11, 2006
Trending Now
Can you define these popular missing words?
Term for attractive Mexican or Latino girls. Used especially near the US Border where illegal immigration is prevalent. Border Bunnies are viewed as 'easy to get' by their American counterparts due to the perceived notion that Americans are traditionally rich or are interested in being rich and therefore marrying into a American household is the shortcut for a better life.

Being the unimaginative sort, Shrub is making the Republican tax-reduction mantra his legislative centerpiece.
His tax proposals never got much traction during the campaign. But for someone styling himself the political heir of Ronald Reagan, it's still catnip capable of sending his rabid right into pentecostal ecstasy.
Last time Reagan's people trotted out all the supply-side hoodoo, he actually had just won an election. The Democrats rolled over, and the country got a 10-year deficit-spending binge that quadrupled the national debt.
This time we get hokum about heading off the economic downturn with a tax cut. Few economists, including none other than Alan Greenspan, believe cuts effective in accomplishing that. To the degree that they have any impact, it would have had to occur almost a year ago to affect current indicators.
Shrub's plan, despite all his photo ops with typical families and his extraordinarily fuzzy math, does little to nothing for anyone not sufficiently upscale. It's so one-sided, it leaves the door wide open for the Democrats' Lexus-and-muffler political drama staged to play up the contrast in what comparative family savings could purchase.
This isn't even a flat-tax benefit; it's redistribution upward. Those with $1 million incomes would net a tidy $50,000 while a family earning $50,000 would see about $800.
Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill opposes any reduction in the approximate $3,800 in payroll taxes paid by a family earning $25,000. Offsetting some of that tax is the only way to benefit the other end of the scale from Bush beneficiaries, since they pay relatively little income tax.
Don't worry that this former chairman of Alcoa might neglect Republican patrons, though. He supports ending the corporate income tax altogether.
Shrub's justification for tax cuts has been little more than the old Reagan "starve the government" argument: Take it away before they spend it on something we don't like.
Almost $3 trillion of projected surpluses is in Medicare and Social Security, places where it certainly will be needed as boomers begin to retire. The extra debt inherent in Shrub's plan will turn his $1.6 trillion in cuts into a $2 trillion tab.
That means most of the projected $5.6 trillion surplus is gone before the military gets any new goodies, and without paying for Junior's Star Wars bills or launching any education initiatives other than some cheap shot like a few vouchers. There would be nothing left for debt reduction even if the rosy surplus projections prove true, and these auguries depend on impossible-to-predict variables that render it all a highly inaccurate exercise.
Reagan's budget director, David Stockman, admitted in his book that they foresaw disastrous consequences for their tax cuts. Right here in Texas, the Legislature is coping with the consequences of state tax cuts championed famously by Junior. Like many states heavily dependent on sales taxes, Texas has seen its projected budget surplus quickly evaporate after the first-of-the-year downturn.
The GOP might have made itself the party of tax cuts, but it has abdicated any claim to fiscal responsibility. That's an extraordinary turn of events for a party whose national dominance is predicated as much as anything on the infusion of conservatives who abandoned what they say was the fiscally irresponsible Democrat Party of a generation ago.
The public is concerned with protecting Medicare and Social Security. Debt reduction polls a higher priority than tax reduction.
Vice President Cheney, failed to persuade the Democrats' conservative "Blue Dog" caucus last week. These folks aren't excited about endangering fiscal discipline that is so hard to come by once it's lost.
When Democrats came to power in 1993, unemployment was more than 7 percent and the deficit was standing at almost $300 billion and projected to grow to $500 billion by this year, doubling the national debt yet again.
Bringing back discipline to budget planning dissolved the elder Bush's famous "read my lips" pledge on taxes. It was the right thing to do, even though it helped cost him a second term. Bill Clinton's considerable political skills doubtlessly would have proven insufficient to unseat him were it not for our economic hangover from the Reagan binge.
The deficit-reduction program of 1993 was passed with no Republican support. That contributed to the Democrat's congressional rout in 1994, but we owe a good bit of the past 10 years' prosperity to that return to budgetary sanity.
Democrats and moderate Republicans like Sen. James Jeffords of Vermont need to save Shrub from himself and sink his irresponsible proposal. An economic downturn doesn't make recycled hoodoo any better gris-gris.

Beck's Mormon Faith Raising Alarms Among The Religious Right
Recently, Glenn Beck seems to have started undergoing a transformation from a Tea Party leader to a Religious Right leader as he increasingly sells his brand of right-wing conspiracy-theorizing in religious terms.
What started with his partnership with David Barton as rapidly expanded to include all sorts of Religious Right activists and now Beck has started claiming that his upcoming "Restoring Honor" rally is literally being orchestrated by God and that "the Spirit of the Lord is going to be unleashed like you've never felt it before" and miracles will take place at the event.
Beck's move to establish himself as a religious leader among conservatives is being met with alarm from some evangelical activists due to the fact that Beck is Mormon, forcing people like Barton to defend his associations with Beck by claiming that Beck shouldn't be judged by the label he wears but by the fruits that he produces.
But it doesn't look like activists are buying that excuse, as Brannon Howse, president and founder of Worldview Weekend, dedicated his program on Friday to raising alarms about this new development:
Please remember Brannon started the website keepglennbeck.com to support Glenn when the radicals wanted his advertisers to stop advertising in his program. With that said, Brannon believes Glenn has now moved into an area where we must draw a clear line theologically and doctrinally. While Christians can join Glenn in opposing tyranny, socialism, cultural Marxism, and the like but we cannot join him spiritually. Glenn's website describes the event at the Kennedy Center as "Glenn Beck's Divine Destiny" and states that the event will include "uplifting music, nationally-known religious figures from all faith will unite…" Glenn's website also promotes Glenn's "Daily Spiritual Thought" and "join Glenn Beck live each weekday morning at 7:05a ET for prayer." Why must we respectfully and lovingly tell Glenn we cannot agree with him nor find common ground in the area of Biblical doctrine and theology?
Is Glenn now using his TV program to push his Mormon faith? Glenn has the right to push his Mormon faith on TV but Glenn needs to be upfront about it ... The point of today's program is that Christians need to be wise and not fall into the trap of compromising on the Gospel of Jesus Christ in an effort to be politically correct, tolerant and find religious unity with anti-Biblical beliefs and religions. We appreciate the strong and courageous stands that Glenn has taken but Christians understand that Glenn is now, by his own choice, promoting something that is not compatible with Biblical Christian doctrines. We can be co-belligerents on many moral issues with non-Christians but we cannot find common ground theologically and doctrinally. Christians must understand that the Jesus of the cults is not the Jesus of the Bible.
You may recall that, a few months back, Howse severed ties with Janet Porter due to her associations with the "kind of whacked out folks" who preach Dominionism.
Similarly, Howse's Worldview Weekend has had a long relationship with David Barton, so it'll be interesting to see how Howse handles Barton's increasing involvement with, and defense of, Beck's Mormon faith.

Bryan Singer will direct a big-screen 'Battlestar Galactica' movie, Christopher McQuarrie hired to pen the 'Wolverine' sequel, ABC greenlights a 'St. Elmo's Fire' TV series, and more of today's top movie headlines. img hspace="8" border="0" align="left" vspace="8" src="http://www.aolcdn.com/aolmovies/bryan-singer-news-186.jpg" alt="" />'X-Men' director Bryan Singer has signed on to pilot a 'Battlestar Galactica' movie to the big screen for Universal. 'Galactica' originated as an ABC series in 1978 and most recently finished up a critically acclaimed run from 2004-09 on the Sci Fi Channel, but Uni insists that the film will be a "complete reimagination." [Variety]
'The Usual Suspects' and 'Valkyrie' scribe Christopher McQuarrie has been hired to write the sequel to 'X-Men Origins: Wolverine.' Based on the Chris Claremont-Frank Miller comics series 'The Samurai,' the sequel will be set in Japan and focus on Logan's (Hugh Jackman) evolution into a samurai. [Variety]
'St. Elmo's Fire' is set to burn its way to a TV screen near you. ABC is developing a dramedy series based on the 1985 movie that starred Demi Moore, Rob Lowe, Andrew McCarthy, Emilio Estevez, Judd Nelson, Ally Sheedy and Mare Winningham. Now set in contemporary times, the series will retain the Georgetown setting and premise of the film, introducing six new pals -- three boys and three girls -- adjusting to life after college. Hmm ... sounds a bit like 'Friends.' [The Hollywood Reporter]
Gordon Gekko has got himself a daughter. Carey Mulligan is set to play the spawn of Michael Douglas' iconic character, as well as the love interest to Shia LaBeouf, in 'Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps,' Oliver Stone's sequel to the 1987 film. Frank Langella also stars, and Josh Brolin is in talks to join. [The Hollywood Reporter]
The Toronto Film Festival has added 19 more titles to its Gala and Special Presentations lineups for 2009.

Bob Marley & the Wailers - Legend - The Best Of
Label: Island
Format: LP Vinyl Record 180 Gram
Country: US Issue
Track List:
Side One:
1. Is This Love
2. No Woman No Cry
3. Could You be Loved
4. Three Little Birds
5. Buffalo Soldier
6. Get Up Stand Up
7. Stir it Up
Side Two:
1. One Love / People Get Ready
2. I Shot the Sheriff
3. Waiting in Vain
4. Redemption Song
5. Satisfy My Soul
6. Exodus
7. Jamming
"Legend" features some of the very greatest hits of Bob Marley and the Wailers--and what a compilation it is! As always, one could have hoped that other items be included (for example, only one cut from "Natty Dread"?). Nonetheless, this is a dazzling collection.
Some of the hits are compelling to include, such as "No Woman No Cry," "Buffalo Soldier," "Get Up Stand Up," "Stir it Up," "I Shot the Sheriff," "Redemption Song," "Jamming,"
." One thought: Quite a few of these songs appear to be love songs or whatever, but--in fact--have political content to them.
Let's consider a few of the pieces in more detail:
"No Woman No Cry":
"In this great future
You can't forget your past
So dry your tears, I say."
This song has a softer sound to it. The band plays well and Marley is in peak form. Since this is a live version (over seven minutes long), it is fun to hear the audience's responses throughout. The upbeat line, repeated several times, "Everything's gonna be alright," sets a tone for the song.
"Stir It Up": This song was a hit for Johnny Nash, representing one of the first reggae songs to break out to a wider audience (but not the first). Marley's version is great! The I-Threes provide strong backing vocals; the band plays well. This is an infectious version of the song and genuinely rates as one of Bob Marley and the Wailers' greatest hits.
Bob Marley & The Wailers - I Shot The Sheriff (live)
I Shot the Sheriff": This was a worldwide hit for Eric Clapton (it seems weird that others had great hits with Marley's work, without him having the same success). Marley's version is very different from Clapton's (although both work). As liner notes point out, there is more of a political edge to Marley's version. Band, backing vocals, and Marley are all in fine form on this work.
Bob Marley & The Wailers - I Shot The Sheriff
Bob Marley - No Woman No Cry
Bob Marley & The Wailers with No Woman, No Cry. No. 37 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time
The song first became world-famous in 1974 through the studio album Natty Dread. The live version from the 1975 album Live! is perhaps best known it was this version which was released on the greatest hits compilation Legend. Though Bob Marley likely wrote the song himself, songwriter credits were given to "V. Ford". Vincent Ford was a friend of Marley's who ran a soup kitchen in Trenchtown, the ghetto of Kingston, Jamaica where Marley grew up. The royalty cheques received by Ford ensured the survival and continual running of his soup kitchen.

In papers filed this week, Walker's mother, Cheryl, asked to be made guardian of Meadow and of the estate that her father left her in his will, valued at up to $25 million. In her petition, Cheryl Walker claims that she would be a better guardian and that Soteros has a drinking problem. Court papers show Soteros has two DUIs – one in 2003 in Orange County, Calif., and one in 2013 in Hawaii. Walker had stipulated in his will that his mother become Meadow's guardian.
So far, Soteros has not filed any response in court, nor has she responded to requests for comment. But according to E! News, a source says Soteros was surprised by Cheryl Walker's guardianship petition and that she "will fight this, I'm sure, until her last breath to be [Meadow's] mom. All she wants is to have her child."
A judge would have to see a lot more evidence that Soteros is an unfit mother before displacing her as the legal guardian, experts say.
"There need to be issues of abuse and neglect," says L.A. probate attorney Jeffrey Cohen.
A hearing in the guardianship case has been set for April 30 in Los Angeles. Attorneys anticipate that a judge will appoint an investigator to explore these issues and make a confidential report to the court. The judge also will likely, at some point, appoint an attorney who would represent Meadow's preferences and best interests.
This clause in the will does not compel the family court to award Meadow's guardianship to Cheryl Walker – but it helps, says probate attorney Andrew Katzenstein, because it lets the judge know the feelings of the person who, until recently, was Meadow's custodial parent.
"The will is only a nomination," Katzenstein explains. "The court has to appoint that person."
As for the money involved, a guardian wouldn't have access to Meadow's trust fund, but could benefit from the fund's allowance for living expenses and payments for caring for the teen.
A trial, which would scrutinize Meadow's lifestyle and the fitness of each woman to act as her parent, "can be very traumatic," says Katzenstein. "But she's a teenager. It's very important she end up with the right person."

Don Imus's Dinner Shtick Brings Travail to the Chief
As it turned out, Imus, 54, was only partly right: his wife was still speaking to him at the end of the evening. Before an audience dense with Washington heavies, Imus launched into a scathing, 25-minute monologue that poured invective over everyone from George Will ("Anyone that buttoned up...is spending part of his weekend wearing clothes that make him feel pretty") to Elizabeth Taylor ("How do you get that fat that fast and not live in a trailer?").
But what really had the crowd nervously chuckling and quietly cringing were the swipes he took at the Clintons, seated just a few feet away. In a clear reference to allegations of the President's womanizing, Imus recalled hearing Clinton use the phrase "Go, baby!" when Cal Ripken Jr. broke Lou Gehrig's record and then wondered about other times Clinton might have uttered those words. His followup: a leering reference to AstroTurf in the back of Clinton's pickup years ago. As for Hillary and her involvement in Whitewater, Imus remarked, "If we were to have speculated on which member of the First Family would be the first to be indicted...everybody in this room would have picked [the President's brother] Roger." On the dais, the Clintons reacted at first with game, good-natured smiles, then with leaden stares. "I've seen that look before," says CNN White House correspondent Wolf Blitzer. "If you could kill, that's the look you would give."
There the matter might have rested had not indignant White House Press Secretary Mike McCurry disclosed the next day that he had asked C-SPAN, the cable public-affairs channel that had aired the proceedings live, to think twice about its scheduled plans to rebroadcast the speech. (It did so anyway.) ABC correspondent Cokie-Roberts, a frequent guest on Imus's syndicated radio show, said he "went way, way, way over the line." Suddenly the buzz inside the Beltway was all about l'affaire Imus.
Why that was so probably had as much to do with the mores of the capital village as anything else. For the truth is that aside from a couple of tasteless remarks about ABC News anchor Peter Jennings and his marital woes of a few years back, Imus's material seemed mostly within the bounds of roasting etiquette, which is to say by turns raunchy, lame and obnoxious—but hardly scandalous. "They didn't want any penis jokes," Imus says. "They didn't want any swear words, which was fine."
To some journalists present, the criticism of Imus seemed to ring hypocritical. They argued that when dinner organizers invited the often off-color radio personality, who is heard on 68 stations in the U.S. five days a week, they should have known what they were getting. "Let's say I buy a pet alligator, put it in my swimming pool, invite you over for a swim, and it bites off your leg," says ABC's Sam Donaldson, whose toupee was the butt of one Imus crack ("Something Strom Thurmond threw out"). "The alligator is doing what alligators do. Don Imus did what Don Imus does."
And, in fact, shattering the decorum of Washington functions is a time-honored tradition. At a 1985 Washington Press Club dinner, an extremely relaxed John Riggins, then the star running back of the Washington Redskins, told Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, "Come on, Sandy baby, loosen up. You're too tight." More recently, the comedian Sinbad poked fun at Barbara Bush, seated on the dais near him at a 1991 black-tie affair, for her grandmotherly appearance. And last year, at another capital affair, comic Bill Maher delivered an obscenity-laced monologue.
It's probably fair to say that many of the attendees would have been disappointed if Imus had not roughed up the crowd. That was probably why the "I-Man," as he calls himself, had no regrets about his performance and certainly no plans to mend any fences with the President, who has appeared on his show several times. Asked if he would apologize to the First Couple, Imus yelped, "I don't think so! I let 'em off the hook! What the President needs to do is get a sense of humor, and so does she."

An Invitation to Share Your Heart — and get something in return.
February is an ideal time to reflect upon the love in your heart for your family, friends and others you appreciate. Now, CaringBridge gives you the chance to remind these people that you're always thinking of them, rooting for them, and inspired by them.
This February, our Share Your Heart Campaign invites you to submit fun, unique and interesting ways you show support for family and friends. Your entry gives you a chance to win an Apple iPad or gift certificates from Pear Tree Greetings — to help keep participants connected with family and friends at all times.
How can You Share Your Heart?
However you want! Perhaps you'll write a note to your mom, send a video hug to your best friend or take a photo of you giving flowers to a neighbor. Or maybe you'll really catch the spirit and put some from-the-heart messages, written on sticky-notes, onto someone's door to let them know you're keeping them in your heart and thoughts.
No matter how you Share Your Heart, we want to see it!
It's Easy to Participate
Watch for the Share Your Heart launch in mid-February (just in time for Valentine's Day). Then simply upload a photo or video and a description (50 words or less) that shows how you Share Your Heart with those you love and support.
Just ask yourself, "How can I share my heart?" and keep an eye out for our official announcement in February.

This may be the last column on earth to praise the television series Breaking Bad, but hey, The Secret History of Art lives in the wilds of Europe, so things reach us a bit more slowly. That may not be a bad thing. I had not even heard of Breaking Bad before I received the first three seasons on DVD as a gift, so I felt none of the peer pressure to love the series, which as one magazine put it, has been "critically fellated." To say that the show has been critically-acclaimed is the understatement of the century, but you know what? It is 100% deserved. This is the best show that has ever run on television.
I was struck with how great the series is from the opening moments of the first episode, which really has to grab you by the throat in this era of quantity over quality television. Having worked for years with TV production companies on documentary and drama projects, I know just how much effort goes into developing a new show. Literally thousands are developed every year for just a handful of slots. Networks tend to prefer reality shows because they are so much cheaper to make than any other type of programming. You just need cameras, editors, and real people, who are paid a tiny fraction of what professionals would be paid, if they are paid at all. You can see just how uncomplicated reality series are by scanning the credits. Even top-drawer shows with marketable presenters, like Ultimate Survival and No Reservations feature about four or five crew members and a presenter, plus the folks who edit and produce from back home. Reality shows like The Real World and its offspring offer a large cast of characters, none of whom are professional actors. This trend makes it that much more special when a series like Breaking Bad takes the time to create high-quality, intelligent, absorbing, novelistic, filmic television. It strikes us all the more because it is so well-done, well-written, and detailed. It is such a sharp contrast to the majority of inexpensive space-filler that is contemporary television that we welcome it with a ravenous hunger.
The era of high-end television in the United States is relatively new. We learned it from Britain, where top-drawer drama series have been the norm for decades. Go back to BBC series like Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy (starring Alec Guinness) and you'll find character-driven drama which, it must be said, feels very slow and ponderous now, compared to the quick-edit thrillers we're used to, but which is highly intelligent, assumes an intelligent, thoughtful audience, and provides truly three-dimensional characters whom we feel we come to know. In the US The Sopranos seemed to start the trend, providing a New Jersey Mafia drama with darkly comic elements, fully-developed characters, a world into which viewers are carried, and a Greek tragedy superstructure. Twin Peaks came far earlier, but that intrigued without having laid out a definite end point, a solution to the gripping mysteries presented in it—that worked for the first season and into the second, but then it grew dizzying and somewhat frustrating, with the sense that David Lynch didn't know exactly what he wanted to do, how he wanted to end it, and so it just got weirder. The Wire (which I've not seen but is high on my list) is said to have provided the same level of literary entertainment as The Sopranos, but in a grittier, darker, less operatic manner. There are others, but they are relatively few and precious. Networks need to be convinced of the reward, in viewers and critical acclaim, in investing considerable expense in a well-done drama series. And it seems that they have seen the value, which bodes well for the future of television.
Breaking Bad is the story of Walter White, a meek, middle-aged chemistry teacher who is diagnosed with lung cancer. To add some spice to his life, he takes up a long-standing offer from his DEA agent brother-in-law, Hank, to come for a ride-along. The DEA busts a small local Albuquerque crystal meth "cooking" operation, during which Walt sees a former high school student of his, Jesse Pinkman, escape the scene. Looking for an escape from his mid-life crisis, and a way to pay for his cancer treatment, Walt convinces Jesse to teach him about the meth trade. Walt, being a formerly renowned chemist, makes a crystal meth that is purer and far better than anything available on the street, usually made by junkies or untrained "cooks." His product becomes vaunted and much-desired, by addicts, dealers, and by the DEA, with an investigation led by brother-in-law Hank. And so we are swept into the world of Walter White as he tries to balance his home life, cancer treatment, and secret new career as a drug producer—a sideline that brings empowerment to Walt and also a nasty side that had been bottled up for decades. By Season Three Walt's cancer has gone, at least temporarily, into remission and his all-or-nothing plan to raise money to support his family after his impending death is suddenly shifted—he now may have to live with his crimes, which by this time include murder.
The first episode begins with an RV hurdling through the bleak, arid New Mexico desert while Walt, in his undies, drives frantically, as if being chased, with two corpses in the back of the van, which is in fact a rolling meth lab. An ingenious feature of the whole series is that prior to the credits we see a small slice of what will happen later in the episode. Other shows, films, and novels have provides some sort of chase or action sequence as a hook pre-credits: every James Bond film begins with a 3-5 minute action sequence before the credits roll. It is not uncommon to begin with a preview of the very end, a la The Usual Suspects. But Breaking Bad disorients as it gives us a random slice from somewhere in the middle of the episode (or in a few cases, a preview of an upcoming episode), and so it simultaneously intrigues us and disorients.
When the episode proper begins, we are drawn into an unearthly world: suburban Albuquerque, which is a bleak set of strip malls abruptly shifting into brutal, flat desert. We come back to each episode to learn what will happen to the characters, characters we grow to feel a strong connection to, even if they are not necessarily likeable. Because the storylines arc over entire seasons, or to be precise after a series like this is optioned for a second season, the writers can prepare for numerous seasons ahead, we are pulled through and impelled to watch more than one episode. Series usually take one of two formats. There is the CSI format, in which characters remain little changed over the course of episodes and seasons, and plotlines fit precisely into the confines of each episode. A crime is committed and solved in each episode, and the consistency of characters is more for the sake of calling the show a series than in creating a meaningful arc of character development. We watch for the plot, not for the characters, and we do not need to watch a season in order. Then there is the character-driven, long-form plot series, like Breaking Bad, where character development, the mark that separates literature from books, is paramount. The fact that the plots are also gripping, with danger, dread, chases, fights, murders, and brilliantly crafted moments of tension are like a drug that keeps us watching while our hearts are with the characters. Breaking Bad is also unafraid to kill off central characters, which makes its viewers uneasy—we always knew that Perry Mason was going to win his legal battle, and we always knew that Hercule Poirot would not die in his investigation. In Breaking Bad we are given no assurances, and so our cheering for lead characters is weighted with the knowledge that things might not end happily because real life does not always end happily. The drama and thrills, for the series is certainly a thriller, are nicely balanced with black comedy. The nearest film example in tone and pace to Breaking Bad is Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction. But Pulp Fiction had to fit everything into one feature film, and so did not have the space to grow characters into a series. The characters were superficially deep, rather than truly deep—we had to be told of their dimensions, rather than shown them over time. But the violence and tension cut by humor is shared in both series, as are the multiple criss-crossing storylines. Though I can't be certain, it seemed that a pair of characters in Breaking Bad Season Three, Mexican brothers who cross the border to take revenge on their cousin, Tuco, who was killed in Season Two, are a shout-out to Tarantino. They are one-dimensional, badass killing machines. They say exactly two lines in the whole series, while buying bullet-proof vests ("Vests?" and "Do they work?"), and otherwise go on an axe-murdering rampage as they determine to kill Walt. They wear boots with little metal skulls on the toes, and they worship a sort of cultic angel of death surrounded by votive candles. They are caricatures, however badass they may be, two-dimensional characters in a world of three-dimensionalists. They stand out because they are what most TV offers, even the good stuff—without ambiguity, but with a good dose of style, they are mindless killers. But the world into which they step, shiny axe in hand, is one of lush, deep characters.
They seem to me to be an analogy for quality television. When they are vanquished by their three-dimensional counterparts, we see a microcosm of what Breaking Bad is doing to lesser television shows. Now I've just got to wait for the Season Four DVD to come out…

I'm not sure if Liam Fox has done his homework with this story, that the Tories may privatise the Met Office. From memory, I think that the Met office makes a surplus. It's a Trading Fund with the MoD being the lead department in government. Sure, they could privatise it and make some money but it wouldn't cut costs at the MoD. It might arguably increase spending given that our Defence personnel consume a lot of weather information. To purchase the stuff from a commercially focussed, privatised Met Office may cost them more than they currently pay. I'm sure his colleague General Dannatt would tell him that.
5 thoughts on "Tories may privatise the Met office"
A one-of-burst of income (in exchange for annual fees in many cases) is going to do nothing to solve the year-on-year deficit, and much of the time will worsen it.
The numbers, much as with PFI, simply don't add up—provided you're actually in possession of them, which every Chancellor (Labour and Tory alike) for the last 15 years or so has gone to lengths to ensure people aren't.
This privatisation lark is starting to get tiresome, to say the least.
You're right Tom – privatising the Met Office is a stupid idea. It's also an idea that the Treasury under both Gordon Brown and Alistair Darling have frequently demanded be put on the table in spite of opposition from the Civil Service, Meteorologists, and the Unions (see below).
Will the Labour Government commit not to privatise the Met Office if re-elected?
Tom I love your idea to house the Staffordshir hoard at THE PUBLIC. Just the kind of out of the box thinking we need.
They privatise the houses of Parliament. Doesn't mean they necessarily will. Labour privatised education, now they want to privatise the debt cused by that, and the Post Office and we here today health services. Let's face at least with the Tores you know what you are getting the others just bring it in when they get into power havingdenied they would do it in the first place.
Perhaps they think the weather would be better managed by the private sector.

Most budget accommodation options are clustered around the medina and close to the port gate. They're cheap but only occasionally cheerful, so it pays to hunt around. In addition to those listed here, you can find plenty of choice in the streets around Ave Mokhtar Ahardan and the Rue Magellan. Low-season travellers might get a reduced rate. Before accepting your room, however, make sure that it has not grown musty from the sea.

A recent letter to the editor relished the convenience of being able to buy liquor, wine and beer at Wal-Mart. I have shopped at an out-of-state Wal-Mart for liquor, wine and beer and observed that the selection was in line with Wal-Mart's marketing strategy, stocking only fast-moving, lower-priced brands. If you want a better brand of liquor, wine or beer, the "convenience" factor is non-existent. You'll be searching for a store with a better selection.
Recently I stopped at two liquor/wine/beer stores in Maryland. I found that Pennsylvania State Stores have a much better selection, as well as being a more attractive store.
The shelf prices of liquor in Pennsylvania, Maryland, and even "duty-free" shops in international airports are all about the same. The difference in the total price is almost entirely the Pennsylvania taxes on liquor and wine, primarily the 18% "emergency" liquor tax. Unless the Legislature reduces our liquor taxes, we will still pay about the same for liquor and wine.
No one, not the governor nor the Legislature, knows how much revenue would be realized from "privatization." The oft-mentioned "$2 billion" from the sale of licenses is the minimum Pennsylvania needs to not lose money on "privatization." If the "$2 billion" guess is not realized, then Pennsylvania taxpayers will lose and state programs will be cut In order to balance the state budget.
The likely result of "privatization" is paying the same (if not higher) prices for more limited selections.

Castle in the Bronx
For many New Yorkers, home security doesn't go far beyond a deadbolt and a chain. But the owners of this castle in the Bronx sleep behind walls of fortified stone.
Owners Alec Diacou and Suzi Arensberg have put their Norman revival-style home on the market for $2.995 million. The property, located in the landmarked Fieldston area inside the Riverdale neighborhood, is said to be modeled on a castle in Croatia. It was designed by architect Frank Forster and built in 1926 for Giuseppe Cosulich, a prominent shipbuilder, according to a Landmarks Preservation Commission report.
The couple purchased the property in 2004 for $1.8 million, according to property records. Mr. Diacou was drawn to its fieldstone exterior, castle-like features and landscape. But Ms. Arensberg wasn't as impressed—not at first, anyway.
"I was leery because it looked dark to me," said Ms. Arensberg. "But once we lived in it, I adored the 1920s cross-hatching windows, which were beautifully maintained."
Mr. Diacou, a former banker who has restored several properties, decided to renovate the castle a few years after purchase. During the renovation, the couple updated the heating, plumbing and electricity, and revamped the interior rooms. The changes took about 2½ years to complete and cost roughly $1.5 million.
"It looks like no stone was unturned but every stone was restored," Mr. Diacou said.
The castle has five bedrooms and 4½ bathrooms. The breakfast room is set in a turret, just off a large chef's kitchen, which has wide-planked oak floors and ergonomic countertops made of reclaimed marble from the former International Toy Center in Manhattan.
The living room has beamed ceilings and holds a fireplace and a library. Other details include the castle's original oak trimmings throughout and stone tiles in the foyer and bathrooms.
Outside, the castle features a walled courtyard patio, terraced gardens and lots of foliage.
The couple, who also own a Tudor nearby and a co-op in Manhattan, use the castle as a summer home. When not occupied, the castle is used as the headquarters of Yes the Bronx, Mr. Diacou's nonprofit organization aimed at rebranding the Bronx.
The castle was listed in March with both Prudential Douglas Elliman and Stribling Private Brokerage. The couple also have their Tudor on the market. They plan to keep the property that doesn't sell first.
"I would rather sell the Tudor and live here," Ms. Arensberg said, a sentiment echoed by Mr. Diacou. "This is my favorite," he said.

Please Wait - Updating Your Shopping Cart
I am a corner worker for SCCA. We run races day and night, rain or shine. My first race in these boots was a 14 hour endurance race, and we had about 2 inches of rain in the afternoon. Feet were comfy for all 14 hours and totally dry!
Great boot! Fits like a glove, easy to spit shine, durable and feels great on all sufaces. I bought 2 pairs because I was afraid that the boots couldn't handle the wear and tear. After 2 knee surgeries, no knee pain, no swelling and no aches. I have Hi-tec Magnums and in 2 weeks they were horrible.I had to throw them out because they were NOT WORTH THE MONEY! These boots are 4 months old and not a rip, sole separation or leather tearing. Great athletically tactical boot!!!
boot looks good but not enough pics to look at

Dr. Hasan Alam, a trauma surgeon at the Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), believes that he is ready to take the next step in his research on suspended animation: human trials. His team has already demonstrated the technique in close to 200 pigs with a 90% success rate.
Many patients with severe blood loss from gunshot wounds or car accidents die before they are able to reach the operating room. The heart can only survive for about 20 minutes without blood, and without blood the brain dies in 5 minutes. Dr. Alam believes he can extend the survival time through suspended animation, or "asanguineous hypothermic metabolic arrest." This
process involves stopping the heart and cooling the body using an
infusion of a chilled artificial solution originally developed to
protect organs being transported for use in transplant surgery. The patient's core temperature reaches 10 degrees C. At this point, the patient has no detectable pulse or electrical activity in the brain. To
revive the patient, the potassium level is restored to normal, warm
blood is transfused, and if necessary, an electrical shock is
applied to the heart to restore its normal rhythm.
In the pig studies
that have been performed, the researchers induced severe blood loss by
cutting a major vein and artery in the abdomen. The animal was then allowed to bleed for 30 minutes to simulate the transit time needed to get to a hospital. Then, a lethal cut is made in the aorta. The animal is allowed to bleed for another 5 minutes before the cooling process begins. In
total, about 50% of the total blood volume is lost (scaled to humans,
this is equivalent to 2.5 liters). The animal is kept at 10 degrees C
for 60 minutes while its injuries are repaired, and the animal is then
revived. Despite having no pulse for one hour, the animals show no signs of any neurological damage afterwards.
According to SMH,
Dr. Alam is requesting that his suspending animation protocol
automatically be used on all patients arriving at MGH who have lost so
much blood before coming to the hospital that they would likely die
with conventional care. The review process for such a proposal typically takes several months.
quote:As much as I dislike PETA, I would hope even they would understand the the medical need for such testing. And the pigs are restored to their original state or as close to it as possible. It's not like they're testing cosmetics or making fur coats. This is a potentially life saving procedure.
