In the days before the U.S. launch, stories cropped up from various locations of harsh tactics used by private security and local law enforcement as thousands of expectant consumers camped outside of local Apple stores ahead of the phone's launch on September 12.
Then, in the days following the launch, around 2,000 workers at Foxconn's Taiyuan manufacturing plant in Northern China rioted. The circumstances leading up to the incident aren't known, but it is known that the Taiyuan plant manufactures the rear casing for the iPhone, and that Apple is rushing to produce more iPhone 5s to keep up with demand, after selling around 5 million of the devices in its first weekend. More than one news source cited pressure to churn out iPhones for ratcheting up overtime – and tensions – within the facility.
All the "guns and badges" stuff means we heard less about the kind of "security" problem we usually associate with popular electronics. You know: the kind that crashes your phone or, worse, divulges your contacts, credit card numbers and booze-fueled texting sessions? Indeed: Apple's launch of the iPhone 5 contained almost no mention of device security –either good or bad.
That's no accident. As with all its product launches, Apple jealously guarded even minor details about its new phone or the launch event beforehand and, because it makes both the hardware and software that make up the iPhone, the company can keep a tight lid on almost every detail of its devices. The company knows that later, in the excitement of the launch ("Thinner! Bigger screen! Faster!") sniggling questions about buffer overflows or the vulnerable Webkit mobile browser component sound like sour grapes from the mouth of a reporter.
Now that the excitement has died down, it's worth a look under the hood to try to answer that all-important question: is the iPhone 5 more secure? The answer, of course, depends on what you're comparing it to.
One would certainly be safe in stating that security wasn't an area of intense investment for Cupertino-based Apple this time around. The most oft-rumored security feature for the phone: a biometric finger scanner, never made it into the iPhone 5. This, even after Apple bought Authentec, the company that made the top mobile device finger scanner. In most other areas, Apple's iPhone 5 and iOS 6 operating system carried over security features from earlier iPhone editions, many without substantial changes. In its press materials and technical specifications for the iPhone 5, Apple touts iOS's built-in security features including strong passwords, data encryption both at rest and in transit, as well as a myriad of features to limit hackers' access to core operating system elements, such as application sandboxing, address space layout randomization and data execution prevention. What it doesn't mention is that all of them are legacy features. Address space layout randomization (ASLR), for example, was released with iOS 4.3, for example, which came out in 2011.
Does that mean iOS and iPhone 5 are hacker-proof already? Sadly, no. In fact, The iPhone 5's design team missed an easy one: allowing anyone to use the phone's Siri voice recognition feature to send Twitter messages and Facebook posts without first unlocking the device. Oops.
More significant: two Dutch security experts from the security firm Certified Secure in the Hague demonstrated a working exploit for a zero-day vulnerability in Webkit on an iPhone running iOS 6 on the same day that Apple's CEO was unveiling his new phone in downtown San Francisco. The exploit could be used to steal sensitive information from the system. There's no way to know if it will work on an iPhone 5, but the researchers certainly seem to think that's possible; they've turned over the exploit to TippingPoint's Zero Day Initiative.
So iPhone 5 and iOS aren't perfect on security. But ask a security expert – even one who has defeated the iPhone's many layers of security features – and they'll tell you they're pretty good. In fact, The Dutch team that bested iOS6 still took time to sing the OS's praises after the fact.
"Even the BlackBerry doesn't have all the security features that the iPhone has," Joost Pol, the CEO of Certified Secure told ZDNet upon winning the $30,000 cash prize in the Pwn2Own contest. "With code signing, the sandbox, ASLR and DEP, the iPhone is much, much harder to exploit," Pol said. And Charlie Miller, famous for his own iPhone hacks, has also publicly admired the security features built into Apple's phone.
And the security of Apple devices extends beyond the code. Experts note that the company's top-down control model has advantages over the decentralized ecosystem that Google created with its open source Android platform.
Apple may not be any faster than Google to address critical vulnerabilities in its mobile operating system, but it's far more efficient in distributing those updates to its massive, global user base. Unlike Google, Apple was able to throw its weight around and wrest control for updating its devices away from carriers. The result is that iOS updates stream directly from Apple to iOS devices via its iTunes application, bypassing the carriers whose networks the phones connect to. The result: iOS devices are far more likely to be running the latest and most secure version of their operating system than Android devices.
"Apple got a lot of things right," said mobile security expert Jon Oberheide of the firm Duo Security. "They've done a much better job in the software update category – they have just a handful of hardware platforms that are all controlled by them and they control the software, too. So it's much more reasonable for them to provide updates."
In contrast, Google makes and manages the underlying Android operating system, but partners with a panoply of mobile carriers and OEM hardware makers to provide a wide range of different Android phone makes and models. As a result, any software update has to follow a torturous path from Google to the handset maker, and then out to customers via the various mobile carriers.
With little incentive to patch the mobile devices their customers use, it is no surprise that mobile carriers have a poor record of distributing software updates that repair critical security holes in mobile operating systems or applications, Oberheide said. Instead, they wait months or even years to disseminate Android updates to their customers.
Data from Duo Security found that 60% of the 20,000 Android devices running the company's X-Ray application were using a version of the Android OS, 2.3.3 that was released in February, 2011. There have been five separate updates to Google's mobile operating system since then, but they account for just over 18% of the global population of Android devices, Duo Security found. Those millions of vulnerable devices are the "biggest problem in the mobile security space" today, he said.
Apple's AppStore is also nominally more secure than Google's Android Marketplace, with Apple requiring developers to identify themselves and leave a deposit, then vetting submitted apps for quality and adherence to its security and privacy guidelines. None of those are insurmountable obstacles for a determined malware author – but they are impediments and a discouragement to all but the most motivated malware author.
Malicious code authors and cyber criminal groups have taken notice. The firm Lookout Mobile security reported detecting over 30,000 instances of unique malware in the month of July – much of it targeted at Android devices. To date, iOS malware has been mostly of the 'proof of concept' variety, with few or no instances found in the wild.
The security gulf between iOS and Android has prompted some industry watchers to declare the iPhone as the successor to The Blackberry, Research in Motion's flagship product, which dominated the enterprise mobility market for close to a decade. "iPhone now as secure as BlackBerry, say tech chiefs" reads one headline. The gist of the argument is that Apple's implementation of data encryption and password protection, coupled with stronger native and third party mobile device management features make iPhones a plausible replacement for the trusty Blackberry and Blackberry Enterprise Server (BES). RIM's financial teetering no doubt adds fuel to the fire, as enterprises worry about being left without a support life line in the event of a precipitous collapse at that company.
Of course, RIM could charge back from the brink of death with its new Blackberry OS and some savvy new devices. Or, Apple could stumble badly with the iPhone 5 and its successors. The company has a sterling track record for much of the last decade, but its Apple Maps debacle certainly has eyebrows raised. Or, Google could find religion on patching and security and woo enterprises with a lower price point and some attractive management tools. What actually happens is anyone's guess.
What is clear is that security is just one of many features that the iPhone 5 offers – and its not even close to the most desirable. Device makers that want to grab some of Apple's market share will have to be able to go toe-to-toe with the company on device and software security. More daunting: they'll have to do that while also finding a way to craft a cool, consumer-friendly device that people really want to buy and own. That last bit may be the biggest obstacle of all.

New engine rebuilt breakin procedure
So. Gonna be breaking my engine in this month after new bearings and Jakes studswere installed this week. My mechanic told meto use straight sae30 oil. Then switch to synthetic after. What do I need to do. Here's my plan:
Oil and tranny fluid installed. Sae30
Crank engine for a minute to circulate oil with ignition disabled
Plug in wires. Start her up and let her idle. Avoid revving engine
Drive no more than 65 and cycle speeds for the first 3000 miles. I won't use cruise during this period of time during breakin.
Change oil after 3000 miles to 5w30 mobile 1 synthetic or valvoline synthetic
Re: New engine rebuilt breakin procedure
When your engine was born (2000+ ???) it was filled at the factory with GM 5W-30 bulk oil.
SAE30 transmission fluid ? - or DEXRON-III or -VI......dry sump transmission, so the engine must be idling in P to do a proper level check.
Re: New engine rebuilt breakin procedure
Haha. Yes. 99 sts. Dextron 4. I'll follow owners manual recommendations for the tranny I'm just validating what someonetold me to use. He said use straight 30 engine oil. If it had 5w30 straightoff the line then I'll use that. I just don't want to mess anything up.

Re: New engine rebuilt breakin procedure
Since the Northstar engine did not receive roller cam followers until the 2000 model year, your engine will benefit from the higher concentration of antiwear additives in Shell Rotella 10W-30 oil. I buy it in gallon jugs at Menards. You can also use Rotella 15W-40 oil. Mobil Delvac oil.
I wouldn't use straight 30 weight oil at all.
Vary the engine RPMs, don't redline it and don't drive at any one sustained speed for the first 500 miles. I would also change the oil and filter after 200-300 miles. Just use regular oil - synthetic is not needed or required.
Re: New engine rebuilt breakin procedure
Thanks. That's what I'll do. Never gone through a break inona car. Always bought dealer demos or whatever. Breakin was taken care of already. I wasn't planning on driving hard at all. I believe it will bevery reliable now. Ready to go home now and drop it in. :-)
Re: New engine rebuilt breakin procedure
Confused: Your login says 1999 but the mechanic says shift to a 5W-30 which is the 2000+ specified oil.
A 1999 IS NOT spec'd for 5W-30. If it is in fact a 1999, then it has flat tappet cam followers and KHE is exactly correct: your engine will run forever on a Rotella, Delo, or LongLife fleet/marine 10W-30 oil. (15W-40 is way too heavy for the tolerances in a Northstar; any Northstar.)
Re: New engine rebuilt breakin procedure
Thank u for the reply. I am not home to lookup the exact oil I. My owners manual. I will use 10w30. Sounds like a good plan. How many miles does breakin take? I plan now to change the oil after the first 500 miles. I think this is wise. I'd like this engine to last a long time and know the importance of proper breakin. Just want to ensure I do it right. Thanks for the comments!
Re: New engine rebuilt breakin procedure
IF the engine received a complete overhaul - rod and main bearings, pistons, rings, cylinder glaze-break (not really necessary), valve job, valve seals, cams, cam followers and maybe chains and slippers - then I would do a 1,000 mile oil/filter change.
On the other hand, if the engine was simply studded and reassembled then there are really NO new parts in the rotating assembly, so the engine is technically already "broken in" and you could go the the local dragway tomorrow morning with no worries.
As always, for the first 1,000 miles, keep a close eye on oil and coolant levels, belt tensions, and overall sound and performance. If the first paragraph is true, then drive the car moderately for a couple of hundred miles and then begin to load the engine progressively until you can do a foot-to-the-floor second gear standing start all the way to redline in 1 and 2. If the second paragraph applies, go out tomorrow and drive it like you stole it.
In any event, at your first oil change go to a WIX 51522 filter - more media, more filtration, less internal resistance.
EDIT: Read AJ's post - ^^^ - you don't want to idle an overhauled engine. Not good.
Re: New engine rebuilt breakin procedure
For ALL new engines
- Use the recommended oil.
- Use a Zinc additive. This is not necessary for 2000+, but still a goo idea
- Crank the engine to build oil pressure. Plug out is the best way. Don't over heat the starter
- Never shut off the engine after starting it until it reaches operating temp!
- Start the engine and run it at 2000 as the engine warms up you can lower the RPM. When the engine reaches operating temp the engine should be idling on its own. This is to break in no roller cams. On roller cam you don't need to have the RPM's so high 1200 to 1500 is fine.
- Drive the car and run it WOT 10 to 12 times through the RPM range. Say 20 to 60 mph depending on the gearing. This causes the rings to "seat" into the cylinder walls
- Do not do anymore WOT runs until you change the oil. This should be at the 500 mile mark. The oil contains break in debris and you want it in the oil pan and filter not in the oil.
Re: New engine rebuilt breakin procedure
This is true. It got a partial overhaul. Ner mains and rod bearings though it didn't really need new bearings. I swapped my old cams into the lower mileage pressure tested heads. Had them cleaned and tested by a local machine shop to be in great condition. Got all new rings because water had been in engine and it had surface rust on the piston walls. The rings were no good so I opted for new. The original engine was seized. The original owner ran it out of oil. Was in bad condition. I put the lower mileage engine in because I got it at a steal. 250 engine and tranny. Ppl selling their blown head gasket engines around here by the dozen. It seems. Engine came out beautiful. Decided to go with my original tranny bc the gear ratios were different. The powertrain was from a Deville limo. Lol. 87000 miles

Ever run into a crew boat skipper out of Houma - Jim Denson ???? Lives in Marathon now......
Re: New engine rebuilt breakin procedure
I'm not sure. I do ride on a lot of crewboats. Mostly do work for chevron and such. Name doesn't ring a bell. Which boat? I don't get to talk to many crewboat captains. They mostly stay in the wheelhouse while I ride in the passenger area.

I like hair butters and Miss Jessies Baby Buttercreme had been a staple but I must say aftr trying this one...I think I'm finished with Miss Jessies. This Healthy Hair Butter, gave me that curl and shine I've been wanting for a long time, and after one use, I have gotten so many compliments on my hair. I'm sold now.

According to the website, you will need to download the template, as we've already said. You must read a couple of white papers, "Creating and Porting NDK based Android* Apps for Intel(R) Architecture" and "Installing the Android* SDK for Intel® Architecture". Lastly, you need to test your Android apps on a virtual Intel-Architecture device.
how closely they adhere to the rules such as "Focus and Scope", quality, coherence, structure and how well the app works on the emulator. The goal, of course, is to get developers writing apps for Intel powered x86 Android devices that could go head to head with the ARM powered Android models.

The Real Madrid coach has admitted that the defender could have been guilty of an offensive comment but claims that actions do not always represent who you really are
The centre-back was dealt the suspension and a fine of around €275,000 by an FA commission on Thursday having been found not guilty of a racially-aggravated public order offence by Westminster Magistrates' Court in July.
Mourinho, who coached Terry during his time at Stamford Bridge, admitted that the Blues captain could have made an inappropriate comment in the heat of the moment but declared that he was not truly a racist.
"He is not a racist," Mourinho told CNN. "That's 100%. We [Chelsea] had a squad where we had 12 African players in the squad. It was a fantastic squad and he had always a great relation with every one of them.
"But in football it can happen, and I know it can happen, that during a football match because sometimes it's more than a game and sometimes you have reactions that don't represent what you are really.
"Probably, he had a racist comment or a 'racist' attitude against an opponent and, sometimes in football, we look to our opponents in the wrong way. But to pay, he has to be punished.
"But please, don't say that he is a racist because I know what I am saying... [Didier] Drogba will say, Geremi will say, [Claude] Makelele will say, all of them will say that he is not a racist."
Mourinho claims, in addition, that he has never witnessed or felt any forms of racism in the dressing rooms of any of the clubs he has managed.
"I never felt it," he added. "Never. In a dressing room, I have never felt it, and I've always had African players in every one of my teams."

You could fill a box set with fairly accurate, decent-to-great Phil Spector imitations. There are "only" 24 of them (all from 1963-1967) on the Phil's Spectre: A Wall of Soundalikes compilation, but it's certainly a good, and never less than interesting, selection of Son-of-Wall-of-Sound productions from the '60s. Only one of these (the Righteous Brothers' majestic "(You're My) Soul and Inspiration") was a big hit, and though some of the others did pretty well (Nino Tempo & April Stevens's "All Strung Out" and Sonny & Cher's "Just You"), it's likely that most of these singles will be unfamiliar to all but the upper-tier '60s collector. Which is one of the set's strengths: you'll be surprised how much Spectorish pop was made in the mid-'60s, and also be surprised how good some of it was, though some of it's only ordinary. The best of the batch include Jackie DeShannon's original 1963 version of "When You Walk in the Room," covered for a British Invasion hit by the Searchers; the Beach Boys' cover of "Why Do Fools Fall in Love," initially buried on a 1964 B-side; and the Walker Brothers' lush "Love Her," which was a fair-sized hit in Britain. Obscure, not-so-great sides by the Supremes ("Run, Run, Run") and Gene Pitney ("Tremblin'") also make the cut. But some of the finest treasures here are the songs that hardly anyone's ever heard of, like Alder Ray's "A Little Love (Will Go a Long Way)" (a dead ringer for a 1963 single by the Crystals or Darlene Love); the Four Pennies' "When the Boy's Happy (The Girl's Happy Too)" (actually the Chiffons under a different name); Dorothy Berry's David Gates-produced "You're So Fine"; Carol Connors's sexy "My Baby Looks, but He Don't Touch" (sung by the former lead vocalist of Spector's first hit, the Teddy Bears' "To Know Him Is to Love Him"); P.J. Proby's dramatic reading of Gerry Goffin and Carole King's "I Can't Make It Alone"; and the Dolls' "And That Reminds Me" (a great tune produced by rockabilly great Dale Hawkins). And there could be no more dead-on Righteous Brothers imitation than Kane & Abel's "He Will Break Your Heart." There are plenty of other fine Spector soundalikes that don't show up here, and for further research on the minigenre, it's worth digging up such little-known goodies as Cher's "Dream Baby," Ellie Greenwich's "You Don't Know," the Girlfriends' "My One and Only Jimmy Boy," Shelley Fabares's "He Don't Love Me," and Roberta Day's "Someday." But Phil's Spectre: A Wall of Soundalikes is a good start. ~ Richie Unterberger
Critic Reviews
Uncut (1/04, p.120) - 4 stars out of 5 - "This highly imaginative compilation showcases the production work of less acclaimed Spector associates like Sonny Bono, Jack Nitzsche and Bill Medley, ranging from the familiar to the forgotten."
Mojo (Publisher) (12/03, p.129) - 3 stars out of 5 - "[J]ust enjoy the sheer class of Jackie DeShannon's 'When You Walk In The Room' or 'I Just Couldn't Say' by Lorraine & The Delights - the best record The Ronettes ever made."

Prospect Notebook: Good Pitching in the Class A Games
Prospect Notebook
Rodriguez allowed no earned runs and fanned four over four innings
The Pirates played host to the Yankees' class A teams at Pirate City today, in games dominated by the pitching. Outside of a first inning outburst by the Pirates' high A squad, there was little offense.
The low A game finished in a 1-1 tie, as Joely Rodriguez put together a strong start. He allowed just one unearned run on one hit and one walk over four innings, while fanning four. The left-hander threw his fastball in the 87-90 mph range and showed a sharp slider. Rodriguez has been up as high as 95 in the past, but he seems to be much more effective when he focuses on keeping the ball down at the expense of some velocity, as the pitch has good movement. He got swings and misses with both the fastball and slider...

Since the 1980's a lot has been said and written about the Theology of the Body. But not having read or heard any of it, I thought it would be interesting to offer a fresh perspective on John Paul II talks nearly thirty years after their conclusion. My goal is to dig deep into the purity and original intent of what our Blessed Pope meant with his Catechesis of Human Love.
Part 4 of this series reflects upon lectures 14 thru 17 of John Paul II's Catechesis of Human Love. Topics include the Theology of the Body in Response to Homosexual Marriage, The Nuptial Meaning of the Body, and The Human Body as a Gift.
14. Revelation and Discovery of the Nuptial Meaning of the Body
In his General Audience of 9 January 1980, the Holy Father explained the "nuptial meaning" of the body as first experienced by Adam and Eve. Man, both male and female, realizes his essence only in living with and for someone else. The possibility of this mutual self-gift is manifested in the bodies of male and female, which gives them their nuptial meaning.
15. The Man-Person Becomes a Gift in the Freedom of Love
In his General Audience of 16 January 1980, the Holy Father continued his series on the Theology of the Body, by examining the "nuptial meaning of the body." Through self-mastery, by which the purely physical side of sex was restrained, the first man and woman were free to give themselves totally to each other, and thereby discovered their true selves.
16. Mystery of Man's Original Innocence
In his General Audience of 30 January 1980, the Holy Father pursued his examination of the Theology of the Body by dwelling on the mystery of man's original innocence, that purity of heart which enabled Adam and Eve to give themselves to each other in love, as the effect of grace.
17. Man and Woman: A Mutual Gift for Each Other
In his General Audience of 6 February 1980, the Holy Father reexamined the nuptial meaning of the body, in the mutual gift of self by our first parents, in the context of their original innocence.

What is in this article?:
- CDC: There's Nothing 'Easy' About Falling Off a Ladder
- National Stand-Down June 2-6
Workers who are six feet or more above lower levels are at risk for serious injury or death if they should fall. To protect these workers, employers must provide fall protection and the right equipment for the job, including the right kinds of ladders, scaffolds, and safety gear.
What's the old saying? It's as easy as falling off a ladder? Judging by a recent study released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), it is easy to fall off a ladder and it often can be deadly.
The study, published in the most recent Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR), found that falls remain a leading cause of unintentional injury mortality nationwide, and 43 percent of fatal falls in the last decade have involved a ladder.
Among workers, approximately 20 percent of fall injuries involve ladders, and among construction workers, an estimated 81 percent of fall injuries treated in hospital emergency rooms involve a ladder.
To fully characterize fatal and nonfatal injuries associated with ladder falls among workers in the United States, researchers Christina M. Socias, DrPH, of CDC, and Cammie K. Chaumont Menéndez, Ph.D., James W. Collins, Ph.D., and Peter Simeonov, Ph.D., of NIOSH's Division of Safety Research, analyzed data across multiple surveillance systems: the Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI), the Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses (SOII) and the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System–occupational supplement (NEISS-Work).
In 2011, work-related ladder fall injuries (LFIs) resulted in 113 fatalities (0.09 per 100,000 full-time equivalent [FTE] workers), an estimated 15,460 nonfatal injuries reported by employers that involved more than 1 day away from work (DAFW) and an estimated 34,000 nonfatal injuries treated in emergency rooms. Rates for nonfatal, work-related, emergency room-treated LFIs were higher (2.6 per 10,000 FTE) than those for such injuries reported by employers (1.2 per 10,000 FTE).
"LFIs represent a substantial public health burden of preventable injuries for workers," noted the researchers.
According to the study:
- Men and Hispanics had higher rates of fatal and nonfatal LFIs compared with women and non-Hispanic whites and workers of other races/ethnicities.
- LFI rates increased with age, except for injuries treated in emergency rooms.
- Fatality rates were substantially higher for self-employed workers (0.30 per 100,000 FTE workers) than salary/wage workers (0.06 per 100,000 FTE workers).
- Companies with the fewest employees had the highest fatality rates.
- The construction industry had the highest LFI rates compared with all other industries.
- Across all industries, the highest fatal and nonfatal LFI rates were in the following two occupation groups: construction and extraction (e.g., mining) occupations, followed by installation, maintenance and repair occupations.
- Head injuries were implicated in about half of fatal injuries (49 percent), whereas most nonfatal injuries involved the upper and lower extremities for employer-reported and emergency room-treated nonfatal injuries.

Tiki Barber is eighth in the NFC with 601 yards from scrimmage (365 rushing and 236 receiving).
Eagles punter Sean Landeta, a former Giant, is second in the NFC with a 45.2-yard gross average.
The Giants and Denver Broncos are the only teams that have not given up a successful fourth-down conversion this season. Giants opponents have failed on all four of their fourth-down conversion attempts.
The Giants have allowed an NFL-low 91 total first downs (24 rushing, 61 passing, six via penalty). The Eagles are second with 94 first downs allowed (27 rushing, 55 passing, 12 via penalty).
Ike Hilliard is second in the NFC with 12 third-down receptions (for 176 yards and a touchdown).
Among the Giants problems on offense have been slow-starting possessions. Their average starting position after an opponent's kickoff is the 24.4-yard line, which places them last in the NFC and 31st in the league. And their average gain on first down of 4.27 yards is also last in the conference and next-to-last in the league.
Matt Bryant of the Giants (10-for-10) and David Akers of the Eagles (12-for-12) are the only kickers in the NFL that have not missed a field-goal attempt this season (except for Washington's Brett Conway, who is one-for-one).

Wash. Post attributed defeat of Bush health-care proposal to partisan politics without reporting Democrats' substantive criticisms
Research ››› ››› JEREMY HOLDEN
A Washington Post article suggested that President Bush's proposal to "replac[e] a tax break for employer-provided health coverage with a new $15,000 tax deduction for families and $7,500 for individuals, regardless of where they buy insurance" was derailed by "[c]ongressional Democrats" who "were not eager to compromise with a Republican president on a signature Democratic issue." In fact, critics of the president's plan offered substantive reasons for opposing the proposal, none of which were reported in the article.
In a January 28 article, Washington Post staff writer Christopher Lee suggested that President Bush's proposal to "replac[e] a tax break for employer-provided health coverage with a new $15,000 tax deduction for families and $7,500 for individuals, regardless of where they buy insurance" was derailed by "[c]ongressional Democrats" who "were not eager to compromise with a Republican president on a signature Democratic issue." But contrary to Lee's suggestion, congressional critics and other critics of the president's plan offered substantive reasons for rejecting it, including many that the Post has previously reported. Yet at no point did Lee note any of the criticisms of the proposal that have been voiced by Democrats and outside experts. Bush put forth the proposal in his 2007 State of the Union address.
Following Bush's 2007 State of the Union address, Washington Post staff writers Jonathan Weisman and Michael A. Fletcher reported on January 24, 2007, that congressional Democrats viewed Bush's health-care proposal "as a continuation of Republican efforts to drive workers away from employer-provided health insurance and into the free market" and doubted the proposal would benefit the "working poor" to the degree the White House pledged:
But Democrats said they did not see much movement toward them beyond the rhetoric. At particular issue is Bush's proposal to encourage the purchase of individual health insurance policies through tax deductions financed by a new tax on the value of employer-provided health insurance. Under the plan, the government would allow each family to deduct $15,000 a year from its taxable income to offset the cost of health insurance -- and those who file their tax returns as individuals would be allowed $7,500 each. To pay for this tax break, the value of employer-provided health insurance exceeding the deductions would be taxed as income.
White House officials framed the proposal as a progressive plan to help cover the uninsured by taxing those with Cadillac-style health coverage, primarily well-paid workers and executives.
But Democrats did not buy it. Instead, they said they view it as a continuation of Republican efforts to drive workers away from employer-provided health insurance and into the free market. Even some conservatives questioned how it could help the uninsured. The conservative Tax Foundation said 53 percent of Americans without health insurance pay nothing in federal income taxes and would, therefore, get nothing from a tax break on such taxes.
Low-income workers would get a reduction in their Social Security and Medicare taxes, but probably not as large as the White House suggests, Democrats said. Half of those payroll taxes are paid by workers and half by employers. To reach their generous assessment of the proposal for the working poor, White House economists assume that employers would pass on their payroll tax cut to their workers in the form of raises.
"C'mon," scoffed Rep. Pete Stark (D-Calif.), chairman of the House Ways and Means subcommittee on health.
A January 26, 2007, Post report quoted Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-MA) as saying of the proposal: "I find the plan troubling because it does nothing to help people get insurance, hurts those who already have it and provides a tax break that benefits the wealthiest Americans." Additionally, a February 22, 2007, Post article reported criticism of Bush's proposal by "health economists" and by Rep. Rahm Emanuel (D-IL), the House Democratic Caucus chair:
Many health economists say they think Bush is overstating the impact of the tax code changes, but they say he might have a bigger bang if he were to give low-income people tax credits to buy insurance, an idea the White House considered and rejected.
The president's plan has also elicited mixed reaction on Capitol Hill. In the House, the idea has been declared a non-starter, and House leaders are moving in another direction, hoping to expand funding for the federal-state children's health program much more ambitiously than the president contemplates. The president's plan is for "every individual on their own," said Rep. Rahm Emanuel (D-Ill.), the chairman of the House Democratic Caucus. "He does nothing to control costs and he does nothing to expand the number of insured. Other than that, it is incredibly helpful."
Other January 2007 news reports also noted reasons cited by congressional Democrats and outside health-policy experts for opposing the president's proposal:
- A January 21, 2007, New York Times article quoted criticism of Bush's proposal by Rep. Charles B. Rangel (D-NY): "We are trying to bring tax relief to the middle class. The president is trying to increase their tax liability. This proposal is inconsistent with what the majority is seeking in the House and the Senate."
- A January 21, 2007, article in the Los Angeles Times quoted Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA) criticizing Bush's proposal:
"To the extent that the president is now recognizing that all Americans need health coverage, that's positive," said Rep. Henry A. Waxman (D-Los Angeles). "But it clearly cannot come at the cost of undermining comprehensive health coverage for those who do have insurance."
- A January 23, 2007, Associated Press article reported that Rep. Pete Stark (D-CA) said "the tax changes ... would encourage employers to stop providing health insurance," and also noted criticism from several health policy experts:
President Bush's proposed tax deduction for health insurance appears to be shaping up as a tough sell in the Democratic Congress.
Rep. Pete Stark, D-Calif., said Monday that the tax changes, which Bush will promote in Tuesday night's State of the Union address, would encourage employers to stop providing health insurance.
"Under the guise of tax breaks, the president is pursuing a policy designed to destroy the employer-based health care system through which 160 million people receive coverage," the lawmaker said.
But Paul Fronstin, a senior research associate at the Employee Benefit Research Institute, said he has serious concerns about the president's proposal.
"I think we're giving employers the incentive to get out of the business of providing health benefits," Fronstin said.
If that happens, more people would have to get their insurance coverage through the individual market, he said. Landing such coverage can be more difficult for sicker, older workers, he said.
Diane Rowland, executive vice president of the Kaiser Family Foundation, said some of the people with health insurance premiums above $15,000 don't necessarily have "gold-plated insurance," as the Bush administration has called it. She said the cost of insurance varies depending upon the cost of health care in that state. Other factors include the size of the company and the age of its workforce.
"A single cap can mean very different things in different places of the country," she said.

New York • The question from a fan in a Sirius XM interview last year was innocent — what do you think you'd be doing if you didn't become a comedian? — and within seconds Robin Williams was impersonating physicist Stephen Hawking getting a lap dance at a strip club.
"Now don't sit on the keyboard!" Williams said, coaxing laughs from a few dozen people in a Manhattan studio.
How did he get there? Explaining it would take twice as long as it took to actually happen. Would anyone else in the world have made such a leap?
Not a chance. Williams, who died in an apparent suicide Monday, was a comic force of nature. The world got to know him as the wild alien in "Mork & Mindy," a comedian who elevated improvisation to an art form and also demonstrated a rare versatility in more serious roles. He moved seamlessly from comedy to drama to tragedy to comedy again during a Hollywood heyday in the 1980s and 1990s. His Academy Award as a supporting actor in "Good Will Hunting" came in a drama.

Franklin to Jayasuriya, OUT, cleaned 'em up! Full outside off stump, swings in enough to lure Jayasuriya forward and flick across the line, only to miss it all ends up and hear the death rattle behind him! Franklin roars out his delight! Thats a big, big wicket early
ST Jayasuriya b Franklin 1 (11m 6b 0x4 0x6) SR: 16.66
Franklin to Sangakkara, OUT, gone! Soft dismissal, comes down the track, chips it across the line and can only find Fleming, diving forward just a little, at mid-on, to end whats been a very sluggish innings
KC Sangakkara c Fleming b Franklin 18 (50m 42b 2x4 0x6) SR: 42.85
Vettori to Tharanga, OUT, Around his legs! Cleaned him up. Vettori fires it quick and flat and on middle and leg. Tharanga chooses the wrong shot, trying to sweep past short fine, and goes way across his stumps, exposing the middle and leg. The ball is too quick for him and goes around his pads to rattle middle. Huge wicket, Dan the Man strikes
WU Tharanga b Vettori 73 (112m 74b 9x4 1x6) SR: 98.64
Bond to Silva, OUT, unlucky! Bond switches to a fuller length, gets it to angle in from outside off stump, Silva gets stuck deep in the crease, jabs the bat down onto it, gets a relatively thick inside-edge back onto the pads - an awkward noise, if ever there was one - and after a couple of seconds Koertzen raises the finger. Unfortunate decision for Silva
LPC Silva lbw b Bond 21 (36m 33b 0x4 1x6) SR: 63.63
Oram to Dilshan, OUT, yet another unlucky decision, this time from Taufel. Full and drifting down the legs, Dilshan tries to paddle it past short fine but can't make contact. The ball strikes his back leg and is swinging away all the time. It might have gone on to clatter into the fifth stump (on the leg side) but Taufel raises his finger. Not again, Dilshan seems to be saying.

Naval architects working on the new shuttle ferry recommend against uncovered car decks.
Marine highway officials earlier said a partially open deck could save construction and operational costs.
But Project Engineer Will Nickum said it's not the best option.
"The general recommendation we have is that it should be closed. That that would be the better approach long-term," he said.
He said a closed deck would boost the comfort level and protect equipment. But it would increase construction costs by 1.5 percent.
Nickum, of Seattle's Elliot Bay Design Group, spoke at this month's Marine Transportation Advisory Board meeting.
Plans call for two shuttle ships sailing between Juneau, Haines and Skagway. They're the latest approach to what's called the Alaska-Class Ferry. (Read about plans for the shuttle ferry.)
Nickum said the shuttles' target length is now 280 feet. That's 20 percent longer than the small ferry LeConte.
"Comfort needs to be better than the LeConte-class vessels and approach that of the Taku. That is a serious requirement and we have to look at length to make sure we can meet that particular thing," he said.
Comfort refers to the ride, especially in high winds and seas.
Designers continue to work with some earlier assumptions.
The ferries will not have staterooms or crew cabins. Food service will be limited. And they will be easily maneuverable for quick loading and unloading.
But there will be a few amenities.
"We think it makes sense to have a family and children space. We'd have a work space or quiet room. That would be the library space. We'd also have the traditional forward observation lounge," he said.
And that space may be on a level above the main passenger deck.
Nickum said the shuttles will also have a small theater, similar to some other ferries.
A draft report on vessel plans will be out for public review on June 13th.
Marine Transportation Advisory Board member Cathie Roemmich of Juneau expects some battles.
"You have a handful of people in a couple communities that are just going to give you negativity. They don't like it and they don't want it. I hope the public process is very swift and you guys can move on with the job," she said.
Advisory board members also asked about a proposed bow-door system. And some worried whether the ships would be compatible with ramps and docks outside Lynn Canal.
Former board chairman Dave Kensinger of Petersburg urged designers to consider staffing as well as construction.
"I think the most important thing you do on whatever else you build is you make for sure it's as cheap as possible to operate," he said. "We did an exercise quite a few years ago and if you look at the life-cycle cost of one crewmember on one boat, it's astounding."
Designers are working on the assumption that the first vessel will be completed by mid-2016.
Read earlier reports:
- Preliminary shuttle ferry plan released
- New ferry a "stretch Lituya," not a "stretch LeConte"
- Commissioner sorry for ignoring advisory board
- Legislators, advisory board critique shuttle-ferry design

Friday new music with Zan Rowe
February 14, 2014 , 5:19 PM by Courtney Carthy
First one of the year with Zan Rowe. A lot of very new music in here finishing with a solid pop writer and performer. You'll know her.
Yuko Nishiyama – Heart of Daisies
Zan says - "This is the first single from new Melbourne singer Yuko, and it's a pretty impressive first effort! With beautiful production and wonderful percussion, the song's heart lies with Yuko's stunning voice. One to watch."
Zan says - "A new single from the Melbourne bluesy rock band. There's a soulful, gospel, 70's feel to this song and I love the call and response between the two lead singers."
Francois & the Atlas Mountains – La Verite
Zan says - "New music from this French band headed up by, yes, a fella named Francois. After spending some time in the UK he's back in France but has brought with him some of that sensibility – this new song sounds a bit like something Belle & Sebastian or Camera Obscura would make. And it's wonderful!"
Sally Seltmann – Catch of the Day
Zan says - "Local singer Sally is back with a new album "Hey Daydreamer" very soon, and once again it's full of sweetness and whimsy. This new single builds and builds in a beautiful way and showcases once again her exceptional pop songwriting."

Live from Mardi Gras
Listening to the good counsel of my friend Becky, a New Orleans resident and reporter for the Times-Picayune, I cancelled my rental car and opted to fly in with one rolling carry-on and a folding bike as my one piece of checked baggage. It was a good choice: parade routes and holiday traffic would have rendered GPS useless in a tangle of parades.
We attended three private parties and two parades. The daytime Thoth parade was a family event, with young kids on ladder seats — boxes on top of ladders that put them above the crowds, a great target for gentle bead throwers. The second parade, Bacchus, was a zoolike frenzy exacerbated by the rescheduling of Endymion right after it. One local described Endymion as "the SUV of parades," with a super-size me mentality that extends to its fan base, which makes a habit of setting up tends in the neutral ground (that's the Nola word or the grassy median) several days befor the parade. The land-grabbing mentality is looked down upon by those who are not Endymion fans. The crowds were ten or twelve deep, and people brought port-a-potties strapped in the back of pickup trucks. In order to see anything, I had to climb a bead-encrusted tree.
The private parties were all unique, from a 1,200 square foot house with a pretty patio to a stately home serving red beans and rice, crawfish etouffe, and Emeril's greens. The last was at the home of Muses foundress Virginia, who showed us the stroller parking lot in her yard and her impressive collection of hand-decorated shoes, which are second only to the Zulu coconut as the rarest and most coveted throws of Mardi Gras. The shoes included a pump covered with gold-painted macaroni — "Mac n shoes" — as well as the "sad crab" shoe covered with BP oil. The shoes, like the Muses floats themselves, are full ripe with clever political satire. If you step back and read the floats, it's like a Colbertesque year in review.
Getting back to the hotel took hours. I had Gary, the photographer, let me out in the middle of the gridlocked street. I unfolded the bike, put my rolling carry-on on my back (the first time I have ever used the backpack straps, which I had nearly cut off for lack of use) and rode through the barricades and glittered streets. When I got to my hotel on Canal, the crowds were thick as molasses. I had to fight my way through with the bike, but eventually got in past a skeptical doorman. Gary didn't make it through the traffic to his own hotel until hours later.
Right now I am blogging from my phone, dressed in a purple and yellow satin-and-sequin costume with a red mask, preparing to board Float number 18 in the Orpheus parade. It rolls at 6, but they will drive us uptown to the start, and so the madness begins now.
Bon temps are rollin'

I'm positive agonizing D2 receptors produces visuals.
Ketamine, Salvinorin A, PCP, LSD, several phenethylamines (mescaline, PEA itself, and possibly all phenethylamines and amphetamines) bind to D2. The psychedelics also bind to 5-HT2A.
However, the effects of Ketamine, Salvinorin A, and PCP include visual effects, not just euphoria. D2 is a psychedelic receptor. That's how THC causes visuals, and how Phenethylamine causes small visuals, because PEA binds to D2.
Kappa Opioid activation causes D2 upregulation. Salvinorin A activates both, which means it potentiates itself.
When both Cannabinoid receptors are activated PEA is released and D2 is upregulated. I haven't found out which one does which yet, but THC activates both.
Even more interesting is the fact that 5-HT2A agonization upregulates the production of the precursor for anandamide (which activates both cannabinoid receptors and upregulates and activates D2 receptors).
From wikipedia (the source of all correct knowledge, lol jk):
The 5-HT2A receptor is known primarily to couple to the Gαq signal transduction pathway. Upon receptor stimulation with agonist, Gαq and β-γ subunits dissociate to initiate downstream effector pathways. Gαq stimulates phospholipase C (PLC) activity, which subsequently promotes the release of diacylglycerol (DAG) and inositol triphosphate (IP3), which in turn stimulate protein kinase C (PKC) activity and Ca2+ release.[20]
There are many additional signal cascade components that include the formation of arachidonic acid through PLA2 activity, activation of phospholipase D, Rho/Rho kinase, and ERK pathway activation initiated by agonist stimulation of the receptor.
I'm not certain yet, but it's possible that 5-HT2A activation causes visuals by activating D2 receptors and enhancing their effect through many other mechanisms.
If that's not true, then at the very least D2 is another hallucinogenic receptor.
The main difference between 5-HT2A and D2 receptors is that D2 causes NMDA antagonism (or a similar effect but without blocking the receptor itself) in the same cell it's on. This causes dissociative effects, which are why THC and Phenethylamine both produce a slightly dissociated state.
According to that scientific article, Kappa Opioid receptors block the effects of the glutamatergic system in the NAc (the dopamine system), and also upregulate D2 receptors. This shows its role as an anti-addiction receptor because it downregulates the AMPA receptors on the dopamine cells while upregulating the dopamine receptors on the cell. This reduces the strength of the connection, which is what cures the compulsive part of addiction. It also resensitizes you to dopamine.

The Vikings were a Germanic tribe, members of the Norse peoples who were famous as warriors, explorers, and merchants. They raided and colonized wide areas of Europe from the late 8th to the early 11th century. These Norsemen used their famed longships to travel as far east as Constantinople and the Volga River in Russia, and as far west as Iceland, Greenland, and Newfoundland. This period of Viking expansion is known as the Viking Age.
Viking Expansion
On June 8, 793 the monks on the island of Lindisfarne, off the northeast coast of England, were viciously attacked by Norsemen raiders from the sea. Their misfortune is the first clearly dated event in the saga of the Vikings. The resident monks were killed, thrown into the sea to drown or carried away as slaves along with some of the church treasures. After repeated Viking raids, the monks fled Lindisfarne in AD 875, carrying the relics of Saint Cuthbert with them.
In 840 and 841, Norwegians raided during the winter months instead of summer, as was their usual tactic. They waited on an island off Ireland. In 865 a large army of Danish Vikings, supposedly led by Ivar, Halfdan and Guthrum, arrived in East Anglia. They proceeded to cross England into Northumbria and captured York, where some settled as farmers. Most of the English kingdoms, being in turmoil, could not stand against the Vikings, but Alfred of Wessex managed to keep the Vikings out of his county. Alfred and his successors were able to drive back the Viking frontier and retake York.
A new wave of Vikings appeared in England in 947 when Erik Bloodaxe captured York. The Viking presence continued through the reign of Canute the Great (1016-1035), after which a series of inheritance arguments weakened the family reign. It is important to bear in mind that not all the Norse arriving in the British Isles came as raiders. Many arrived with families and livestock, often in the wake of the capture of territory by their forces. DNA analysis has shown that a major part of the ancestry of English people in northern East Anglia, eastern Yorkshire and in the Lake District is Scandinavian in origin, presumably from colonists around this time. The populations then merged over time by intermarriage into the Anglo-Saxon population of these areas. Many words in the English language are from old Scandinavian languages, showing the importance of this contact.
Scandinavian presence in Scotland increased in the 830s. In 836, a large Viking force believed to be Norwegian invaded the Earn valley and Tay valley which were central to the Pictish kingdom. They killed Eoganan, king of the Picts, and his brother, the vassal king of the Scots. They also killed many members of the Pictish aristocracy. The sophisticated kingdom that had been built fell apart, as did the Pictish leadership. The foundation of Scotland under Kenneth MacAlpin is traditionally attributed to the aftermath of this event. The isles to the north and west of Scotland were heavily colonized by Norwegian Vikings. Shetland, Orkney, the Western Isles, Caithness and Sutherland were under Norse control, sometimes as fiefs under the King of Norway.
The Vikings carried out extensive raids on Ireland, too, founding many towns such as Dublin, Limerick, Wexford, Waterford and Leixlip. The Vikings pillaged monasteries on Ireland's west coast in 795, and then spread out to cover the rest of the coastline. The north and east of the island were most affected. During the first 40 years, the raids were conducted by small, mobile Viking groups. From 830 on, the groups consisted of large fleets of Viking ships. From 840, the Vikings began establishing permanent bases at the coasts. Dublin was the most significant settlement in the long term. The Irish became accustomed to the Viking presence and culture. In some cases they became allies and also intermarried throughout all of Ireland.
France suffered severely the Viking raids of the ninth century, too. The reign of Charles the Bald coincided with some of the worst of these raids, though he did take action by the Edict of Pistres of 864 to secure a standing army of cavalry under royal control to be called upon at all times when necessary to fend off the invaders. He also ordered the building of fortified bridges to prevent inland raids. In the 9th and 10th centuries the Vikings raided the largely defenceless Frisian and Frankish towns laying on the coast and along the rivers of the Low Countries. Although Vikings never settled in large numbers in these areas, they did set up long-term bases and were even acknowledged as lords in a few cases.
By the mid 9th century the Viking attacked on the coastal Kingdom of Asturias in northwest of Spain. During the reign of Alfonso III Vikings were stifling the already weak threads of sea communications that tied Galicia to the rest of Europe. Raiding continued for the next two centuries. In 968 Bishop Sisnando of Compostela was killed, the monastery of Curtis was sacked, and measures were ordered for the defence of the inland town of Lugo. In the Islamic south, the first navy of the Emirate was built after the humiliating Viking ascent of the Guadalquivir in 844 when they sacked Seville. Nevertheless, in 859, Danish pirates sailed through Gibraltar and raided the little Moroccan state of Nakur and Sicily.
In 1060 the Norman leader Robert Guiscard with his brother Roger d'Hauteville opened their invasion of Sicily. The Normans first stormed and captured Messina, that traditional stepping stone from the Italian mainland into Sicily. In subsequent years, aided by dissension among the Saracens and supported by elements of the indigenous Greek population, the Norman invaders fought their way across northern Sicily. They captured the Saracen capital of Palermo ten years later, in 1071. The tide of war in eastern Sicily seesawed back and forth, with major cities taken and then retaken by the contending forces. Finally, in 1090 the last Saracen stronghold fell, and the Normans were left in complete control of the entire island.
The Battle of Stamford Bridge: In England the last battle with a Viking army took place at Stamford Bridge on 25th September, 1066, when Tostig, the enbittered brother of the Saxon king, Harold II, bent on revenge, allied himself with Harold Hardrada, King of Norway, and invaded England with a formidable Norwegian fleet which landed at Riccall, near York. On hearing of the news, King Harold gathered an army and marched to meet them at Stamford Bridge in Yorkshire. Battle commenced when the Saxons attacked the Norwegian shield wall, which despite repeated attempts, they failed to penetrate. The Saxons fell back and the Norwegians, believing them to be in retreat, broke ranks and pursued them, at which the Saxons wheeled round and attacked. Harold Hardrada was killed by an arrow in his neck, his fallen banner, Land-Ravager was seized by Tostig, who assumed command of the Norwegian army. He fell in the frantic conflict shortly after, the Norwegians fought with determination and courage until dusk but victory went to the Saxons. The following day, Olav, the son of Hardrada gave himself up to the English, along with the Earl of Orkney. In a merciful gesture, Harold allowed him to return home, with all the survivors, on a promise they would never invade England again.
