Much Ado About Nothing
- Air Date:
- Leonato (Clark Gregg), the governor of Messina, is visited by his friend Don Pedro (Reed Diamond) who is returning from a victorious campaign against his rebellious brother Don John (Sean Maher). Accompanying Don Pedro are two of his officers: Benedick (Alexis Denisof) and Claudio (Fran Kranz). While in Messina, Claudio falls for Leonato's daughter Hero (Jillian Morgese), while Benedick verbally spars with Beatrice (Amy Acker), the governor's niece. The budding love between Claudio and Hero prompts Don Pedro to arrange with Leonato for a marriage. In the days leading up to the ceremony, Don Pedro, with the help of Leonato, Claudio and Hero, attempts to sport with Benedick and Beatrice in an effort to trick the two into falling in love. Meanwhile, the villainous Don John, with the help of his allies: Conrade (Riki Lindhome) and Borachio (Spencer Treat Clark), plots against the happy couple, using his own form of trickery to try to destroy the marriage before it begins. A series of comic and tragic events continue to keep the two couples from truly finding happiness, but then again perhaps love may prevail.

Hi ,myself abdul rahman
just now i've bought toshiba laptop-satellite c855-s5308
i want to add some additional features to my windows8...
but when i click to install them ..it's asking to enter the product key of windows.,
which is preinstalled. and i can't find it anywhere else ..
i request you to kindly please help me out .as soon as possible!
01-23-2013 12:05 PM - edited 01-23-2013 12:06 PM
There is no product key for OEM Windows 8. Your license is locked into the motherboard. If you should reinstall it, activation will be automatic.
The screen is asking for the product key for the Pro Pack. Read the instructions below for how to purchase it.
Is this true also if one has completely wiped the hard drive as I have?
Long story on why I wiped the hard drive... Since I got my Satellite S855D-S5148 in early May, I have had nothing but trouble with Windows 8. It has become unusable several times, and the last time happened while I was doing the updates that are supposed to be necessary to get ready for Windows 8.1. I hoped the Windows 8.1 update would cure my computers ills, but I never got to even try it.
In frustration, I ended up totally wiping my hard drive, then trying Linux. Didn't like it... So, I've been tossing around the idea of getting Windows 7 which I have on the desktop I'm typing to you from... Super-dependable operating system, it is...
But I decided that I should at least try the idea of downloading a whole new .iso file from Digital River, activating it, etc.
But I come to the stopping point of... "Where is my Windows 8 Product Key?"
Is the key still there on the motherboard if I have wiped my hard drive, including the Toshiba recovery partition? Or do I have to buy one?
Satellite S855D-S5148 (PSKG2U-07F004)
Downloads here
Pat it appears you are under the impression that a Windows 8 product key would activate Windows 7. That's certainly not the case. And only Windows 8 Pro comes with downgrade rights (to Windows 7 Professional). So you would need to pay for it.
The other problem you have is whether the drivers and utilities for Windows 7 exist for that model. There you appear to be in luck. Downloads for 64-bit Windows 7 are available at the European site here for the equivalent part-number family PSKG2E.
Okay, I guess windows 7 is too much trouble to get back into, unfortunately...
So, maybe it's possible there were some problems with my particular laptop's Windows 8, causing issues... So then, my best option is to do what to get Win8 working again?
As I said, I wiped the entire hard drive, so recovery disks don't work.
If I were to DL an entire new .iso file from Microsoft's Digital River site and burn that to a DVD, would that install and be able to activate without buying a new license key?
In NO way do I think that I should have to pay for a new license key when I should already have one.
It's best to restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media. All the drivers and utilities are properly preinstalled. No Windows activation is necessary.
If you failed to create recovery media, you can obtain it from Toshiba. Scroll down to Get Recovery Media here.
For instructions, see the section Restoring from recovery media, which begins on p. 57 of the User's Guide.
Satellite/Satellite Pro C800/L800/S800 Series User's Guide
You must not have read my post very closely...
I have a recovery disk, but due to the fact my HD is wiped clean, the partition that uses my recovery disk is gone, so the recovery disk doesn't work.
due to the fact my HD is wiped clean, the partition that uses my recovery disk is gone, so the recovery disk doesn't work.
Recovery discs (or thumbdrives) assume nothing about the contents of the hard drive they are restoring.
A brand new drive off the shelf can be restored to the original out-of-the-box contents of the original disk. That includes the recovery partition itself.
Okay, my bad... NOW I see what I did wrong in trying to do recovery... Hold the zero key and push the power button...
Seems I should have known that, this being at least my third time recovering this laptop...
Of course, it being the third time makes me wonder if there's something wrong with my copy of Windows 8...
Three things:
1. Maybe things will be better once I upgrade to 8.1 (sure hope so).
2. Since I saw this AFTER ordering recovery discs, I'll have a different copy to try from if I have yet another crash...
3. If I can't keep this puter alive after all this, I'll be going to Ubuntu.
Hold the zero key and push the power button....
I gave you the instructions already. See the section Restoring from recovery media, which begins on p. 57 of the User's Guide.
Satellite/Satellite Pro C800/L800/S800 Series User's Guide
Yup, I just missed the "press the zero key" part. I'm kinda amazed I didn't remember it from the previous times...
In any case, I'm up and running, all caught up with updates and ready to DL Windows 8.1 when it rolls out tomorrow.
Other than those updates, I'm leaving it completely as-is until I get the 8.1 update, not even downloading Chrome, which is normally the first thing I do with any new computer after inital setup and updates, etc.
As I said, I wiped the entire hard drive
I just missed the "press the zero key" part.
Guess I don't understand what happened. When the drive is wiped, press zero doesn't restore.
In any case, I'm happy to learn all is well.

Historical Traveler Reviews The Peninsula New York New York City
Highly disappointed in this hotel
During my last trip in New York, I reserved a Grand Luxe room at the Peninsula.
I wanted to test the only NYC 5 stars hotel I never knew
I must admit I was quite disappointed in this hotel for many reasons :
- The lobby was very small and didn't invite guests to stay in there
- My room was big but the furnishing was old fashioned
- The global decoration of this hotel is old fashioned in every place and really needs to be renovated
Service was perfect but the global impression is that Peninsula is an old institution that has not adapted its environment to customers expectations in the 21st century.
Given the astronomic room rates, Peninsula is definitely not a good value for money.
When signing the check out invoice, my wife and me had the impression we had been crooked...
Next time I travel to NYC, I'll have little choice but to stay at the Four Seasons which is with no doubt the best hotel in New York...
Well, I was expecting something more special
The location is great, the hall and restaurant is beautifull, the rooms are okay and the bathroom are unbelievable. But for a 5 starts at this rate, I was expecting something more special. Finally, I prefere to get the best suite with a view on teh Chrysler Building at the Sofitel for a lower rate. Hope to you !
Almost there
This is a beautiful hotel in a great location, but it's not quite up to the service standards of the great Peninsula hotels in Hong Kong and Bangkok.
Staff could be somewhat friendlier; when I stayed there, the person at the newstand counter, reading a magazine, didn't look up until I spoke--and I was standing right in front of her! The men's room on the main floor had overflowing trash cans and one commode was inexplicably missing its top--gross!
Most disappointing was the Pen-Top Bar. It's a pretty bar with fantastic views and a generally nice staff, but the night I went it started raining. After waiting 20 minutes for a drink, my friend and I had to retreat to the inside part of the bar. I noticed behind the bar, visible to anybody who walked by, was a mountain of trash: peanut shells, used napkins, etc. It was unappealing enough that I haven't been back since as I don't feel the hygiene standards are up to snuff. At those prices--$16 or so for a martini--the place should be close to spotless. Such slovenliness would never be acceptable at other Peninsula hotels.
Quiet/Comfortable Elegance
Lovely room overlooking fifth ave...up on the 11th floor....one side of the mattress was funky....mentioned it to the front desk...20 minutes later 2 uniformed men appered with a new king sized mattress! Amazing!
Fabulous millwork...beautiful baths...lots of waters...perfect location..a few blocks to the opera....shopping...a few blocks to the theather!
Great service, great bathrooms, great spa
My husband and I were spending the first night alone without our daughter and wanted a special, comfortable room so we decided to splurge for a deluxe hotel. We did however book the least expensive room on the internet and got a very small, very unimpressive room as a result. The front desk staff was exceptionally nice and after only slightly complaining to them upgraded us to a absolutely great room with a huge flat screen TV, and deep bath tub, and nice view. The rooftop pool and spa were very nice with exceptional views. BUT both rooms we saw were in need of freshening up, and after staying in many truly exceptional hotels, I have to say this hotel was just above average not exceptional.
Rooms to snuggle up in!
After a long trip from the UK we were more than ready to experience luxury and this hotel did not disappoint! We had upgraded to a Grand Luxe Room which had a view right down 5th Ave- fantastic! The technology in the rooms was exceptional including a tv above the bath and mood lighting throughout. The most comfortable beds and beautiful linen made this a room we didnt want to leave! Room service was incredible, always on time, food was not only delicious but hot and service generally in the hotel was of the very highest standard. If there were one critisism the public rooms were a little small and it was sometimes difficult to get a seat, however this hotel is definately on my list of 'cant wait to get back to'.
5th Avenue Elegance
This was our first weekend stay at the Peninsula and it was great!
Attentive and friendly staff throughout the hotel, restaurants, and bars made it even more pleasurable. Location is right in the heart of midtown and just a few steps away from great shopping, restaurants, and the Central Park. Have a drink at Fives and enjoy the view overlooking 5th Avenue. The spacious, well-kept room was filled with fine amenities and even a touch-screen display that controlled everything from the room lighting, temperature, TV, and even the "Do Not Disturb Sign". It was a nice "high tech" touch for this more reserved property. Glad we opted for the courtyard as we never once heard the typical NY night street noise. We stay at world-class hotels worldwide and the Peninsula in NYC measures right up to the others. I would return on our next visit in the spring and recommend this hotel to the most discerning traveler. Be sure to check their Internet package specials. One last thing, don't forget to bring your fur coat with you when visiting in the winter as you will fit right in with the rest of the clientele here.
Room Service treats
This is a very cozy hotel. The rooms are attractivly decorated and plush. The same goes for the less expensive category rooms facing the court yard. Service is wonderful. The rooms are kept very clean and always kept up. If you scratch your wall they will paint over that smudge the next time housekeeping arrives. Just a word of advice...I managed to sneek into the service elevators and much to my dismay maintainence men along with bell service, and housekeeping take these elevators along with your room service food. I don't know about you but i do not want the man who paints the rooms to be standing next to my dinner order after a day of painting. Think again if you believe everything is covered. properly.
Loved it!
We stayed at The Peninsula NY the first weekend in December 2003. We got upgraded to a larger room without asking. We faced the courtyard which did not bother us in the least. It was much quieter than facing the street. Our size of our bathroom was not affected by facing the courtyard. From the layout of each floor that was attached to the door to show the exits, each room is unique and sized differently. The beds were to die for! The staff was extremely pleasant and made an effort to call us by name. We really liked the complimentary water bar! The only thing that irked me was the prices of the mini bar items and the room service prices. You have to expect it, but come on, $7.00 for a small glass bottle of Coke? I would have gladly paid $3.00 for what probably cost them $.50. We just went to Duane Ready and stocked up on snacks and beverages and stored them in the closet. Tacky maybe, but it saved us $$$. The doormen were usually pretty busy and not overly friendly, but they were polite and did their jobs well. The hotel is in a great location (Starbucks on the next block). We did take a taxi to Tavern on the Green and to see Rent, but only because we were tired and cold. We loved this hotel and plan to come back soon!!!
Loved it!
We really enjoyed this hotel. The location on Fifth Avenue is so convenient. Once you are in your room, it is a quiet, opulent respute. Our room had a great view and the marble bathroom was simply incredible. The tubs are deep; perfect for long soaks before you slide in between your soft sheets.The spa is also a real gem. The steam room, lap pool overlooking Fifth Avenue, and complimentary tea contributed to a totally relaxing trip to the city. Room service was among some of the best meals I have had in Manhattan. Complimentary water---nice touch. If you don't like the first room you are given, try again, it paid off for us. Try to upgrade past the rooms that face the inner courtyard, you will appreciate the better view and superior bathroom. Such a great hotel even the rainy,cold November weather didn't bother us! We felt totally pampered!

New Firearm and Ammunition Restrictions
In California "School Zones" Beginning 2016
For many years, in California there was some exceptions to carrying a firearm or ammunition in a school zone or on school property. And one was for those with a license to carry a concealed firearm. [Penal Code 626.9(l)]
That changed on January 1, 2016, as a result of Senate Bill 707 ("SB 707") authored by Lois Wolk (D) (who needs to be removed from office). SB 707 also changes the law regarding possession of ammunition on "school grounds." Don't think this won't impact you. If you or a loved one or family member like to shoot or hunt. Some of the fine print can get you in trouble.
New Firearm Restrictions
California's Gun-Free School Zone Act defines a school zone as "an area in, or on the grounds of, a public or private school providing instruction in kindergarten or grades 1 to 12, inclusive, or within a distance of 1,000 feet from the grounds of the public or private school." [Penal Code 626.9(e)(1)]
California does not require school zones to be marked, [Penal Code 626.9(k)] so the 1,000-foot school zone border could be difficult to determine. Although I don't see in the penal code where you start the measurement from, edge of the school property or school building's front door, center of the building. To be on the safe side I would guess from the school's perimeter and not from the center of the building. Similarly, the border of school grounds themselves may be difficult to define and you should consider any potential school property or public streets or sidewalk adjoining that property to be school grounds. I would always want to err on the side of caution and assume school zones extend from the furthest measurable point of any potential school grounds. Without a California license to carry a concealed firearm, you should not be anywhere near a potential school zone with a firearm or ammunition, unless they are in a locked case and the firearm is unloaded.
The California Gun-Free School Zone Act also generally prohibits possessing firearms, whether loaded or unloaded, at university or college campuses, as well as in any university or college building where students are housed, taught or are teaching, used for research, or for administration that is contiguous to the campus or are clearly marked as such, even if off campus. Either offense can be a felony, but possessing a loaded firearm has a potentially stiffer penalty.
A person with a valid California license to carry are still exempt from the restrictions on carrying in the school zone (the 1,000 foot, gun free zone area) of the K-12 schools, but may not carry on school grounds. Unless they meet another applicable exemption. Note that there is an exception for unloaded firearms and ammunition in locked containers in your vehicle while on K-12 school grounds but not on college or university school grounds. So don't think you are going to go visit the kids at college and take them to the range afterwards, unless you park off campus and it is a public or private parking place that isn't part of or owned by the college or university.
New Ammunition Restrictions
California law prohibits the carrying of ammunition on school grounds. [Penal Code 626.91] While the term school grounds for the purposes of this section is not defined and is vague, you should assume that it includes any K-12, college, or university property. This is where I believe an innocent person could get in to trouble. I don't know about you, but I can't guarantee there isn't a loose round in my vehicle.
Nevada revises conceal carry reciprocity.
As of June 18th, 2015, with the passage of SB 175 and SB 488. Nevada will recognize the following States' CCW permits ;
Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Delaware, Idaho, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming.
The exciting news is, Nevada will recognize a non-resident Arizona permit once again.
Remember firearm laws change frequently so before traveling with a firearm, you should verify the laws with the appropriate authorities.
Solano CCW Permit Renewal
There is a special deal for Solano County Permit Holders!
Due to the high rate of attrition of permit holders renewing. I have decided to put a real push on getting permit holders to renew.
I'm just guessing, but I think it is because of the unknown cost to renew the permit.
So here is the deal.
You can purchase the Solano County Permit holders renewal package that includes the county and state fees for a total cost of $170.00.
Remember this includes, State & County fees, range fees, targets, training fee and qualification.
The only other cost you will incur is ammunition. If you are a decent shot, the course of fire is 35 rounds.
You can purchase this deal any time for long as your Solano County Permit is valid (current). Roughly three months prior to your permit expiring, you will take our Solano County renewal training & qualification course. (I will work with you to get you a course date that will fit in with your schedule. Course cannot be giving more than 90 days before the expiration date on your current permit)
We will supply you with your targets and the Firearm Inspection and Shooting Proficiency Certification form to turn in to the Solano County Sheriff's Office.
When you are contacted to pickup your permit, remember to take along your current permit and the checks we supplied you doing the course.
I don't think this process could get any easier in California.
When you take our Solano County CCW Renewal Course, we will supply you with money orders or cashier checks for all of the State & County fees, during the course.

This past Friday, the Lords posted a trifecta sweep over their Eagle hosts.
Less than two weeks after Staunton River upset Jefferson Forest on the Cav home diamond, the Golden Eagles were upended on their own turf.
Jefferson Forest easily dispatched County rival Staunton River as the softball season got back into swing on Monday night.
You haven't forgotten to do something, have you?
She stands four feet, one inch tall.
She's all of eight and one half years old.
Staunton River Head Coach Brian Divers took a chance on Chance.
It paid off big-time.
All aboard! The bandwagon is moving out, so you'd best be a' jumping on it.
That's the way that Jefferson Forest played in topping the Staunton River softballers, 5-0.
Many springtimes ago, my older brothers played a trick on my father.
The long search is over. As a result, Staunton River has itself a new head varsity football coach. But, he is no stranger to the school.

The appartment was as cozy as described and Sergey a very nice and helpful host.We enyoed our stay next to the beach and a little away from the tourist masses.But within a 10 minutes walk one can be in the touristic areas.We would recommand a stay with Sergey as a host in one of his appartments.
A really cute apartment, that's close to the beach (only about 2 minutes away). It was really neat and clean, and although it's pretty close to the busier parts of Barceloneta, it's also calm at night.
Sergey was really helpful, friendly and flexible.
My 3 friends and I would absolutely recommend this place, and we'd love to stay there during our next visit to Barcelona.
We spent fantastic days in BCN in August.Sergey was very open to us ,very nice,helpful and flexible.The apartment was perfectly clean(freshly redecorated).Everything was exactly as shown on the pages.3 minutes walk to the beach,we used to walk wearing only swimsuits.Not far to the center about 5-10 min.to Bari Gotic.It is in the old house with an old and narrow staircase but it has its charm.The kitchen was well equipped,the bathroom very small but new and shining.We'd like to return to this place while visiting BCN again.There were 5 of us and everybody felt comfortable(we're not so demanding travellers).I recommend this apartment to those who love clean places to live, lots of visiting

The Orioles have made some significant changes this offseason and the lineup on Opening Day 2012 will only slightly resemble that of 2011.
In early 2011, Brian Roberts was ready to put his injuries in the past and get a full season under his belt. Vladimir Guerrero started at DH and Derrek Lee was the first baseman. 2010 Most Valuable Oriole, Luke Scott, was patrolling left field.
Now, Roberts is trying again to stay healthy and is not guaranteed to be ready by April 6. Vlad and Derrek Lee are both looking for jobs and Luke Scott was non-tendered, only to take a job in the division as the new DH in Tampa.
Like the Orioles, the Twins don't have a true ace, so I'm going to go with history and say that Carl Pavano will start his second straight Opening Day for the Twins.
Here is a look at what Buck Showalter may write on the lineup card for April 6.

Commerce Guild - History
Official Name:
Commerce Guild
Operational Territory:
All of Trade Federation Territory
Faction Type:
IRC Channel:
(open to all)
Driven to Dust
Back in the days of the Old Republic, there existed a group made up of many thriving mining companies that had a firm grip on the galactic market. This group, the Commerce Guild, had an unprecedented amount of economical power at its disposal thanks to its public alliance with the Trade Federation.
However, this power didnt last long. Soon after, the Trade Federation, led by the greedy Neimoidian, entered the Clone Wars and the Commerce Guild, being its ally, joined alongside them and fought with the Confederacy of Independent Systems forces. The Confederacy was defeated and the Commerce Guild along with its members and mighty warships were hunted down almost to the point of extinction.
Soon after all traces of the Commerce Guild were wiped out from the known galaxy. But, the galaxy changed and with that change came the rebirth of the Trade Federation under the rule of Viceroy Corbin Esco which completely did away with the old ways of the Neimoidian leaders. The Trade Federation eventually reacquired its galactic status as a galactic superpower and moved its headquarters to the Glythe Sector. It is from here that the Commerce Guild would be reborn.
Reborn from the Ashes
As the Trade Federation continued to grow it branched off into many parts of the known business world. In a bold move the Confederacy of Independent Systems, a safe haven for all business to take place for its member groups, was reinstated.
With the reinstatement of the Confederacy of Independent Systems there came a need to establish a foothold in the mining world. To this extent, on Year 5 Day 199 Nereus Eruresto officially announced the rebirth of the Commerce Guild. Placed under the skillful leadership of former Trade Federation Secretary of Defense Dev Nul and with dedicated members like Andy Skyfighter and Kurner Dahtar on the roster, Commerce Guild was once again propelled into the galactic spotlight as the best mining faction around.
The Building of a Sand Castle
After Dev Nul stepped down as leader, the Commerce Guild went through a period of many short-term leaders. In year 8 Jetsi Seejay was appointed leader of Commerce Guild ending the stint of short-term leaders and ushered in a new age of prosperity. Under his careful supervision a defense force was established to protect the Commerce Guilds ever expanding territorial boundaries, small outposts in the Khomm and Rigneldia were converted into thriving business metropolises, and a price list was set up to ensure maximum profit while ensuring that Commerce Guild continued to sell the cheapest raw materials in the galaxy.
A Legend Departs
After serving as Commerce Guilds leader for quite some time, CEO Jetsi Seejay announced his retirement. During Jetsis time as CEO the Commerce Guild was at an all time best. Its net worth increased exponentially, more planets fell under its control, salaries were increased, and there were always young hopefuls waiting to join the Commerce Guild.
Following Jetsis retirement, Vice President Hjrool Ohr was appointed as the new CEO of the Commerce Guild. Unfortunately Hjrools time as CEO was short lived. Not too long after having assumed the role of CEO, Hjrool mysteriously vanished. After one month without any word from Hjrool, the Trade Federations Viceroy, Jacob Jansen, intervened and replaced CEO Hjrool Ohr with Vice President Glaeken Trismegestus.
The Castle Crumbles
Glaeken had grand plans of magnificence for the Commerce Guild. His first order of business was to move Commerce Guilds headquarters to the planet Varno in the Varn System. Once complete, a vast construction project was started in the Khomm and Rigneldia Systems.
Unfortunately, despite all of these grand plans, Commerce Guild was becoming a wreck. Glaeken became what many referred to as a ghost. He was rarely seen and when he was, only a few were able to catch glimpses of him. Commerce Guilds member count dropped significantly and as a result it had to close all public sales indefinitely due to the massive delays in preparing current and backlogged orders. The Commerce Guild was on the verge of collapse.
The Merge
It was at this point that the Trade Federations Viceroy Jacob Jansen and Duceroy Bub`ba Lou decided that it was time that they intervene. Rather than seeing Commerce Guild continue on its downward spiral, the two leaders proposed that the Confederate Mining Corporation, another highly successful mining company that was part of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, be merged with the Commerce Guild. After a few discussions between the Viceroy, Duceroy and the leadership of both factions it was decided that Confederate Mining Corporation would be disbanded and that all of its assets and members transferred over to the Commerce Guild.
To lead the Commerce Guild into a brighter future, Jamaal Newport, then CEO of Confederate Mining Corporation, was appointed as the new CEO. With both Glaeken and Hjrool deciding to leave the Commerce Guild, veteran Commerce Guild member Kran Chan stepped up to the position of COO. Being a person who always focuses on improving what is needed; Jamaal didn't waste a second with his plans to restructure the Commerce Guild into a well oiled machine and restore it to its rightful place as the galaxy's number one mining faction. With such an amazing and talented group of people at Commerce Guild's helm, it is without a doubt clear that it will not only reclaim the title as the number one mining faction in the galaxy, but also soar and prosper to greater heights than ever before. Commerce Guild's future looks bright and promising!

Leave Barack Alone!
Democrats play the victim. ObamaCare must really be in trouble.
President Obama tried to convince lawmakers in his own party that America's "crisis" in health-care financing would turn to catastrophe if Congress did not radically expand government power over health care by this month. He failed. Despite huge Democratic majorities, neither house of Congress passed any such legislation by the Obama deadline.
The president's insistence on action without deliberation heightened the sense that ObamaCare was dangerous. He, and friendly media outlets, asked voters to trust his assurances that his plan would not adversely affect their medical coverage. But if that was true, why the haste? If ObamaCare is as good as Obama says it is, why is he acting as if it cannot withstand scrutiny?
Was this merely a tactical error? Was an inexperienced administration overeager in attempting to sell an essentially meritorious plan? Recent events suggest not.
If the plan were good, you would expect its proponents to be staking their arguments on its merits. Instead, they are turning this into a debate about the plan's opponents. A telling video clip of Sen. Barbara Boxer (D., Calif.) on MSNBC's "Hardball" has been making the rounds:
So all of this is a diversion by the people who want to, frankly, hurt President Obama. You've heard the Republican senator Jim DeMint say it: Let's make this "Obama's Waterloo," let's break him. That's what this is about.
And by the way, I saw some of the clips of people storming these town hall meetings. The last time I saw well-dressed people doing this was when Al Gore asked me to go down to Florida when they were recounting the ballots, and I was confronted with the same type of people. They were there screaming and yelling, "Go back to California," "Get out of here," and all the rest of it--until I finally looked at them and I said, "You know what? Your hero Ronald Reagan is from California. You should show a little respect." And then they quieted down.
So this is just all organized. Just go up on the Web site, Chris. You in the media have to take a look at what's going on here. This is all planned. It's to hurt our president, and it's to change the Congress.
Most of the ensuing criticism has centered on Boxer's weird fashion commentary. This may reflect no more than a regional difference: Californians tend to be more casual in their sartorial standards than regular people. Still, it's a head-scratcher why Boxer would think it is to her opponents' discredit that they are "well-dressed"--i.e., that they look respectable.
But what caught our attention was the plaint that ObamaCare opponents want "to hurt the president." It reminds us of those hilarious "Leave Britney alone!" videos that were the rage on YouTube a couple of years back. How exactly does Boxer expect this to persuade anyone to support the legislation? Just imagine the thought process: I don't want higher taxes and government rationing of medical care. But doggone it, I'm for it anyway, because I don't want to hurt the president!
DeMint's "Waterloo" quote was ill-considered because it suggested his concern was for partisanship and personality rather than policy. The president looked statesmanlike when he replied, "This isn't about me. This isn't about politics." But pro-ObamaCare Democrats seem to have internalized DeMint's mistake. They are making their case on personality and politics while ignoring substance--because, one assumes, their position on substance is so weak.
Boxer is not alone in this. An even more bizarre video clip shows Speaker Nancy Pelosi being quizzed by a reporter:
Q: Do you think there's a legitimate grassroots movement going on here?
Pelosi: I think they're AstroTurf. You be the judge. They're carrying swastikas and symbols like that to a town meeting on health care.
"AstroTurf," also a trademark for a brand of fake grass, here is a play on "grassroots." It is a dysphemism for what is sometimes known as "community organizing"--professionally staging protests and lending them credibility via the false impression of spontaneity. As far as we know, Pelosi's claim about "swastikas" is the product of a fevered imagination. If there were swastikas, they would hardly be a sign of professionalism.
The Democratic National Committee has an ad out that strikes a similar note:
Narrator: The right-wing extremist Republican base is back.
Crackpot at town meeting: He is not an American citizen!
Narrator: They lost the election. They lost on the Recovery Act, the budget and children's health care. They've lost the confidence of the American people after eight years of failed policies that ruined our economy and cost millions of jobs.
Now, desperate Republicans and their well-funded allies are organizing angry mobs, just like they did during the election. Their goal? Destroy President Obama, and stop the change Americans voted for overwhelmingly in November.
Unidentified voice of Sen. Jim DeMint: It will break him.
Unidentified voice of Rush Limbaugh: I hope he fails.
Narrator: This mob activity is straight from the playbook of high-level Republican political operatives. They have no plan for moving our country forward, so they've called out the mob.
Same crackpot at same town meeting: And I want to know, why are you people ignoring his birth certificate?
Narrator: Call the Republican Party [phone number of GOP Washington headquarters appears on screen]. Tell them you've had enough of the mob.
The ad does not identify the congressman whose town meeting was disrupted by the birther crackpot. It was Rep. Michael Castle of Delaware, a Republican. So the DNC expects us to believe that the RNC has "called out the mob" against its own members! Oh, and in fairness to the crackpot, we should note that she holds a tiny American flag and does not appear to display any swastikas or "symbols like that."
The DNC's exhortation to phone the RNC is an obvious example of AstroTurf, to which the RNC responded rather cleverly, as the New York Times reports:
Those contacting the R.N.C. have been told by an automated system to press 1 if calling in reference to the D.N.C. ad. If they choose 1, they are then routed right on over to D.N.C. headquarters.
Politico reports that the president himself is participating in the campaign against ObamaCare opponents:
In an unusual e-mail appeal, President Barack Obama is asking millions of his campaign supporters to commit to attending at least one community event on health care this month.
Obama writes that opponents of his health care plan are "filling the airwaves and the Internet with outrageous falsehoods to scare people into opposing change."
"And some people, not surprisingly, are getting pretty nervous," he warns. "So we've got to get out there, fight lies with truth and set the record straight."
The e-mail shows up as being from "President Barack Obama," with the subject line: "This is the moment."
So, let's review the arguments:
Republicans are bad, they lost the last election, and they have partisan motives for wanting to stop ObamaCare.
People who are angry about this are crackpots who display swastikas and other invidious symbols. Also, their anger is insincere, and they are shills of the RNC. They wear nice clothes, and this is not to their credit.
Some of the arguments against ObamaCare are false, according to Obama.
If ObamaCare is defeated, Obama would be hurt.
Is there any argument for ObamaCare? In all the material we reviewed for this item, only this, from the Obama email:
Every day we don't act, Americans watch their premiums rise three times faster than wages, small businesses and families are pushed towards bankruptcy, and 14,000 people lose their coverage entirely. The cost of inaction is simply too much for the people of this nation to bear.
In other words, the "crisis" is so urgent that any thoughtful deliberation would entail intolerable delay. This is the same old argument that has already failed.
If this is the best the president can do, he deserves to lose resoundingly. If that hurts him, there's always aspirin.
Obama's Culture War
The Associated Press reports on another contentious provision of ObamaCare:
Health care legislation before Congress would allow a new government-sponsored insurance plan to cover abortions, a decision that would affect millions of women and recast federal policy on the divisive issue.
Federal funds for abortions are now restricted to cases involving rape, incest or danger to the health of the mother. Abortion opponents say those restrictions should carry over to any health insurance sold through a new marketplace envisioned under the legislation, an exchange where people would choose private coverage or the public plan.
Abortion rights supporters say that would have the effect of denying coverage for abortion to millions of women who now have it through workplace insurance and are expected to join the exchange.
Advocates on both sides are preparing for a renewed battle over abortion, which could jeopardize political support for President Barack Obama's health care initiative aimed at covering nearly 50 million uninsured and restraining medical costs.
This obstacle should have been anticipated. A large number of voters--and congressmen, including some Democrats--have strong moral objections to abortion. Some may support, or at least be willing to accept, socialized insurance if it does not include subsidized abortion. So why not simply define elective abortion, for the purpose of any federally run insurance plan, as an uncovered service like cosmetic surgery or laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis?
This would be a tough pill for pro-abortion lawmakers to swallow, since by their lights abortion is morally unobjectionable and is no less appropriate a medical response to pregnancy than are prenatal and maternal care. Obama, one presumes, agrees with that position. But surely it is not so important to him to be worth sacrificing the entire project of "health-care reform" for what would be a Pyrrhic abortion victory anyway, since the status quo involves no federal money for elective abortion. Had he shown the alacrity and leadership from the start to keep abortion out of the bill, he would have spared his side at least one big and potentially fatal fight.
Bushism of the Day
"The [so-called stimulus] plan was divided into three parts. One-third of the money has gone to tax relief for families and small businesses. One-third of the money is cutting people's taxes. . . . Another third of the money in the Recovery Act has been for emergency relief that is helping folks who've borne the brunt of this recession. . . . So that's the second half. First half, tax relief. Second half, support for individuals, small businesses, and states that had fallen on hard times. The last third of the Recovery Act--and that's what we're going to talk about here today--is for investments . . ."--Barack Obama, Aug. 5
Rational Doubt Syndrome
"Psychological barriers like uncertainty, mistrust and denial keep most Americans from acting to fight climate change, a task force of the American Psychological Association said on Wednesday," Reuters reports:
While most Americans--75 percent to 80 percent in a Pew Research Center poll--said climate change is an important issue, it still ranked last in a list of 20 compelling issues such as the economy or terrorism, the task force said.
Despite warnings from scientists that humans need to make changes now if they want to avoid the worst effects of climate change, "people don't feel a sense of urgency," the association said in a statement.
Numerous psychological barriers are to blame, the task force found, including: uncertainty over climate change, mistrust of the messages about risk from scientists or government officials, denial that climate change is occurring or that it is related to human activity.
"Psychological barriers" is a loaded term, one that suggests mental malfunction if not sickness. Is the APA really describing anything more than perfectly reasonable skepticism? Is resistance to alarmist warnings a sign of mental illness--or health? Maybe we should call it rational doubt syndrome.
The Sotomayor Standard
The U.S. Senate has confirmed Judge Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court by a vote of 68-31. No Democrats dissented; nine Republicans voted "yes." (Ted Kennedy was ailing and absent.)
If this columnist were in the Senate, we would have voted to confirm. We doubt that we will like her jurisprudence, and we do like that of, to take two recent examples, Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito. But it's unrealistic to expect a Roberts or an Alito from an Obama. There is nothing, it seems to us, that renders Sotomayor unfit for the high court; an alternative nominee would as likely be worse as better; and, with 60 senators of the president's party, a vote against would be purely symbolic anyway.
Thus a "no" vote would accomplish nothing except to ratify the notion that senators ought to base their confirmation votes on "ideology"--the same notion that defeated Robert Bork and injected a degree of ugliness into every GOP nomination to the high court of the past 20 years.
Perhaps it would be futile for Republicans to resist this notion, since Democrats' rejection of it seems irrevocable. But there is something to be said for taking the moral high ground, especially when there is no practical benefit to giving it up. The next time a Republican is president, GOP senators will not even be able to argue credibly that Democrats ought to refrain from partisan or ideological confirmation votes.

All in the Family
President Obama has been taking a lot of flack for his decision to award a Presidential Medal of Freedom to Mary Robinson. She presided over the notorious Durban conference of 2001, a U.N. confab on "racism" that turned into an anti-Semitic hatefest. Commentary's Jennifer Rubin quotes the late Rep. Tom Lantos, a California Democrat and human rights champion, who wrote in 2002 that "Mary Robinson's lack of leadership was a major contributing factor to the debacle in Durban." Robinson also headed a commission "that condoned suicide bombings," Rubin notes.
How could the president award a freedom medal to such a manifest opponent of freedom? ABC News quotes Robert Gibbs, the White House press secretary: "Mary Robinson was the first female president of Ireland, and she is somebody whom we are honoring as a prominent crusader of women's rights in Ireland and throughout the world."
If you're as skeptical as we are, take a look at Obama's marriage certificate, and note his wife's maiden name: Michelle L. Robinson. Nepotism can get you in trouble.

JERUSALEM, Israel – Rolling Stones fan or not, most Israelis appreciated the group's decision to defy calls to boycott Israel and perform its first concert here.
Some 50,000 Israelis flocked to Tel Aviv Wednesday evening at the close of the Shavuot holiday to attend the Rolling Stones concert. Lead Singer Mick Jagger, described by Arutz Sheva reporter Sara Miller as "a dynamic stage presence," wooed the crowd by wishing Israel "Chag Shavuot sameach" (Happy Shavuot and introducing the group by its Hebrew name, "Ha'evanim Hamitgalgelot."
The concert began as a record-breaking heat wave that enveloped Jerusalem and Tel Aviv on Shavuot lifted. Miller noted how extraordinarily the aging musicians, "each hovering around the 70 mark, made it look effortless."
"Yes it was hot, and yes it was crowded, but I doubt any person standing in Yarkon Park on Wednesday night regretted being there," Miller said.
"You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you can get to see the Rolling Stones," she concluded.

Objective Peckham
Saturday, 30 January 2016
A small and stocky British-Lebanese citizen with a head of thick dark hair, Berjawi had grown up much like any other young boy in the United Kingdom's capital city, attending school during the day and playing soccer with friends in his free time. But by his early 20s he was leading no ordinary life. He was suspected of having cultivated ties with senior al Qaeda militants in East Africa, his British citizenship was abruptly revoked, and he was placed on a U.S. kill list.
In January 2012, Berjawi met his sudden end, about 10 miles northwest of Mogadishu, when a missile crashed into his white car and blasted it beyond recognition.
At the time of Berjawi's death, the Associated Press reported that the missile strike targeting him had been carried out by a drone, citing an anonymous U.S. official. The Economist criticized the secrecy surrounding the attack and questioned whether it had amounted to a "very British execution."
Now, a classified U.S. document obtained by The Intercept shines new light on the circumstances surrounding Berjawi's death. It reveals that the U.S. government was monitoring him for at least five years as he traveled between London and Somalia; that he was targeted by a covert special operations unit running a fleet of more than two dozen drones, fighter jets, and other aircraft out of East Africa; and that cellphone surveillance facilitated the strike that killed him.
The document, a case study included in a secret 2013 report by the Pentagon's Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Task Force, does not mention Berjawi by name, instead referring to a target code-named "Objective Peckham." But it contains enough specific details about the target's movements and the time and place of the attack that killed him to confirm his identity beyond doubt.
The Intercept has pieced together the final years of Berjawi's life based on the Pentagon case study, public records, interviews with individuals who knew him, and a transcript of a long conversation Berjawi had in April 2009 with members of Cage, a London-based rights group, in which he discussed his encounters with security agencies in the U.K. and Kenya.
The story of Berjawi's life and death raises new questions about the British government's role in the targeted assassination of its own citizens — also providing unique insight into covert U.S. military actions in the Horn of Africa and their impact on al Qaeda and its affiliate in the region, al Shabaab.
Operation Socialist
Friday, 20 March 2015
It was in the summer of 2012 that the anomalies were initially detected by employees at Belgium's largest telecommunications provider, Belgacom. But it wasn't until a year later, in June 2013, that the company's security experts were able to figure out what was going on. The computer systems of Belgacom had been infected with a highly sophisticated malware, and it was disguising itself as legitimate Microsoft software while quietly stealing data.
Last year, documents from National Security Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden confirmed that British surveillance agency Government Communications Headquarters was behind the attack, codenamed Operation Socialist. And in November, The Intercept revealed that the malware found on Belgacom's systems was one of the most advanced spy tools ever identified by security researchers, who named it "Regin."
The full story about GCHQ's infiltration of Belgacom, however, has never been told. Key details about the attack have remained shrouded in mystery—and the scope of the attack unclear.
Now, in partnership with Dutch and Belgian newspapers NRC Handelsblad and De Standaard, The Intercept has pieced together the first full reconstruction of events that took place before, during, and after the secret GCHQ hacking operation.
Based on new documents from the Snowden archive and interviews with sources familiar with the malware investigation at Belgacom, The Intercept and its partners have established that the attack on Belgacom was more aggressive and far-reaching than previously thought. It occurred in stages between 2010 and 2011, each time penetrating deeper into Belgacom's systems, eventually compromising the very core of the company's networks.
Snowden told The Intercept that the latest revelations amounted to unprecedented "smoking-gun attribution for a governmental cyber attack against critical infrastructure."
The Belgacom hack, he said, is the "first documented example to show one EU member state mounting a cyber attack on another…a breathtaking example of the scale of the state-sponsored hacking problem."
Publicly, Belgacom has played down the extent of the compromise, insisting that only its internal systems were breached and that customers' data was never found to have been at risk. But secret GCHQ documents show the agency gained access far beyond Belgacom's internal employee computers and was able to grab encrypted and unencrypted streams of private communications handled by the company.
Belgacom invested several million dollars in its efforts to clean-up its systems and beef-up its security after the attack. However, The Intercept has learned that sources familiar with the malware investigation at the company are uncomfortable with how the clean-up operation was handled—and they believe parts of the GCHQ malware were never fully removed.
The revelations about the scope of the hacking operation will likely alarm Belgacom's customers across the world. The company operates a large number of data links internationally (see interactive map below), and it serves millions of people across Europe as well as officials from top institutions including the European Commission, the European Parliament, and the European Council. The new details will also be closely scrutinized by a federal prosecutor in Belgium, who is currently carrying out a criminal investigation into the attack on the company.
Sophia in 't Veld, a Dutch politician who chaired the European Parliament's recent inquiry into mass surveillance exposed by Snowden, told The Intercept that she believes the British government should face sanctions if the latest disclosures are proven.
"Compensating Belgacom should be the very least it should do," in 't Veld said. "But I am more concerned about accountability for breaking the law, violating fundamental rights, and eroding our democratic systems."
Other similarly sophisticated state-sponsored malware attacks believed to have been perpetrated by Western countries have involved Stuxnet, a bug used to sabotage Iranian nuclear systems, and Flame, a spy malware that was found collecting data from systems predominantly in the Middle East.
What sets the secret British infiltration of Belgacom apart is that it was perpetrated against a close ally—and is backed up by a series of top-secret documents, which The Intercept is now publishing.
GCHQ declined to comment for this story, and insisted that its actions are "necessary legal, and proportionate."
The Surveillance Engine
Thursday, 4 September 2014
The documents provide the first definitive evidence that the NSA has for years made massive amounts of surveillance data directly accessible to domestic law enforcement agencies. Planning documents for ICREACH, as the search engine is called, cite the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Drug Enforcement Administration as key participants.
ICREACH contains information on the private communications of foreigners and, it appears, millions of records on American citizens who have not been accused of any wrongdoing. Details about its existence are contained in the archive of materials provided to The Intercept by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden.
Earlier revelations sourced to the Snowden documents have exposed a multitude of NSA programs for collecting large volumes of communications. The NSA has acknowledged that it shares some of its collected data with domestic agencies like the FBI, but details about the method and scope of its sharing have remained shrouded in secrecy.
ICREACH has been accessible to more than 1,000 analysts at 23 U.S. government agencies that perform intelligence work, according to a 2010 memo. A planning document from 2007 lists the DEA, FBI, Central Intelligence Agency, and the Defense Intelligence Agency as core members. Information shared through ICREACH can be used to track people's movements, map out their networks of associates, help predict future actions, and potentially reveal religious affiliations or political beliefs.
The creation of ICREACH represented a landmark moment in the history of classified U.S. government surveillance, according to the NSA documents.
"The ICREACH team delivered the first-ever wholesale sharing of communications metadata within the U.S. Intelligence Community," noted a top-secret memo dated December 2007. "This team began over two years ago with a basic concept compelled by the IC's increasing need for communications metadata and NSA's ability to collect, process and store vast amounts of communications metadata related to worldwide intelligence targets."
The search tool was designed to be the largest system for internally sharing secret surveillance records in the United States, capable of handling two to five billion new records every day, including more than 30 different kinds of metadata on emails, phone calls, faxes, internet chats, and text messages, as well as location information collected from cellphones. Metadata reveals information about a communication—such as the "to" and "from" parts of an email, and the time and date it was sent, or the phone numbers someone called and when they called—but not the content of the message or audio of the call.
ICREACH does not appear to have a direct relationship to the large NSA database, previously reported by The Guardian, that stores information on millions of ordinary Americans' phone calls under Section 215 of the Patriot Act. Unlike the 215 database, which is accessible to a small number of NSA employees and can be searched only in terrorism-related investigations, ICREACH grants access to a vast pool of data that can be mined by analysts from across the intelligence community for "foreign intelligence"—a vague term that is far broader than counterterrorism.
Data available through ICREACH appears to be primarily derived from surveillance of foreigners' communications, and planning documents show that it draws on a variety of different sources of data maintained by the NSA. Though one 2010 internal paper clearly calls it "the ICREACH database," a U.S. official familiar with the system disputed that, telling The Intercept that while "it enables the sharing of certain foreign intelligence metadata," ICREACH is "not a repository [and] does not store events or records." Instead, it appears to provide analysts with the ability to perform a one-stop search of information from a wide variety of separate databases.
In a statement to The Intercept, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence confirmed that the system shares data that is swept up by programs authorized under Executive Order 12333, a controversial Reagan-era presidential directive that underpins several NSA bulk surveillance operations that monitor communications overseas. The 12333 surveillance takes place with no court oversight and has received minimal Congressional scrutiny because it is targeted at foreign, not domestic, communication networks. But the broad scale of 12333 surveillance means that some Americans' communications get caught in the dragnet as they transit international cables or satellites—and documents contained in the Snowden archive indicate that ICREACH taps into some of that data.
Legal experts told The Intercept they were shocked to learn about the scale of the ICREACH system and are concerned that law enforcement authorities might use it for domestic investigations that are not related to terrorism.
"To me, this is extremely troublesome," said Elizabeth Goitein, co-director of the Liberty and National Security Program at the New York University School of Law's Brennan Center for Justice. "The myth that metadata is just a bunch of numbers and is not as revealing as actual communications content was exploded long ago—this is a trove of incredibly sensitive information." Brian Owsley, a federal magistrate judge between 2005 and 2013, said he was alarmed that traditional law enforcement agencies such as the FBI and the DEA were among those with access to the NSA's surveillance troves. "This is not something that I think the government should be doing," said Owsley, an assistant professor of law at Indiana Tech Law School. "Perhaps if information is useful in a specific case, they can get judicial authority to provide it to another agency. But there shouldn't be this buddy-buddy system back-and-forth."
Jeffrey Anchukaitis, an ODNI spokesman, declined to comment on a series of questions from The Intercept about the size and scope of ICREACH, but said that sharing information had become "a pillar of the post-9/11 intelligence community" as part of an effort to prevent valuable intelligence from being "stove-piped in any single office or agency."
Using ICREACH to query the surveillance data, "analysts can develop vital intelligence leads without requiring access to raw intelligence collected by other IC [Intelligence Community] agencies," Anchukaitis said. "In the case of NSA, access to raw signals intelligence is strictly limited to those with the training and authority to handle it appropriately. The highest priority of the intelligence community is to work within the constraints of law to collect, analyze and understand information related to potential threats to our national security."

Three men were killed after a boat carrying seven passengers capsized off the Catalina Island coast Saturday morning, officials said.
"It's upsetting because it could happen to anyone," said Spike Ivens, who helped rescue the fisherman. "There were some freak waves. The wave that grabbed them -- it picked them up and tossed them."
The men killed in the accident were identified by the Los Angeles County Coroner's office as Kyung Kim, 47, of Los Angeles; Jason Noh, 62, of Buena Park; and Young Park, 64, of Los Angeles.
The overturned boat was reported at 9:30 a.m. near Salta Verde Point on the backside of Catalina, according to the Los Angeles County Fire Department and the U.S. Coast Guard.
Officials said a good Samaritan, later identified as Ivens, rescued two of the boaters and reported seeing another person on the rocks. The Coast Guard launched a helicopter crew and rescued the missing boater.
"They were floating on the surface of the water," Ivens said. "They were out sorts."
Ivens helped flag down fisherman, and pulled some of the men aboard the Pacific Quest where crew members treated them with first aid.
The Coast Guard and LA County Lifeguards arrived and rescued one fisherman stuck on a rock and another who swam to shore.
Four men total aboard the 22-foot skiff were rescued and taken to area hospitals. Two were in critical condition. Crews recovered three bodies from the water.
"It wasn't their fault, but maybe they were at the wrong place at the wrong time," Ivens said.
Waves in the area were reported to be between 4 and 6 feet.
