Letter to the Editor of *The New York Times*, published 6 Nov 2013 For many years, consumer privacy organizations urged Internet companies to adopt better practices to safeguard the personal information they collected. As data services expanded, we asked the companies to minimize collection when possible and to delete data when it was no longer necessary to keep. When cloud services were first offered, we proposed routine encryption for stored user data. We recommended segregating credit files and cautioned against the consolidation of user profiles. We urged the companies to support necessary updates to privacy laws that would lead to the adoption of new privacy-enhancing techniques. And when Google and the National Security Agency entered into a secret arrangement in 2010 about Internet security, we brought an open government lawsuit to make the agreement public. Companies were often reluctant to adopt these security measures, arguing cost, convenience and trade secrets. They said that self-regulation was adequate and no new laws were necessary. Now we learn that vast amounts of user data have been unlawfully acquired by the N.S.A. and that companies are scrambling to implement new security practices to protect against our own government agencies ("Angry Over U.S. Surveillance, Tech Giants Bolster Defenses," front page, 1 Nov 2013). Perhaps it is time to rethink the cloud computing model. The risks are too high. The safeguards are too weak. And the companies are not prepared to carry the responsibility of gathering so much user data.

[Note: This item comes from reader Randall Head, DLH, via Dave Farber] * Wireless street lights can play music, video, interact with pedestrians and have 'Homeland Security' applications like video surveillance monitors. * Las Vegas residents worry that the lights are an invasion of privacy -- 'Who's protecting our rights? * Some cities in the UK and Holland have street lights that reprimand pedestrians for minor offenses like littering. *Daily Mail*, 10 Nov 2013 <http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2497624/Las-Vegas-street-lights-record-conversations.html> Las Vegas is currently installing Intellistreet lights to their well-lit city. But Intellistreets are not just any street-lighting system. The wireless, LED lighting, computer-operated lights are not only capable of illuminating streets, they can also play music, interact with pedestrians and are equipped with video screens, which can display police alerts, weather alerts and traffic information. The high tech lights can also stream live video of activity in the surrounding area. But there's one major concern. These new street lights, being rolled out with the aid of government funding, are also capable of recording video and audio. Neil Rohleder with the Public Works Department told NBC News 3 in Las Vegas that the main reason for installing the new lighting system is not to record anyone or anything. 'We want to develop more than just the street lighting component,' Rohleder said.'We want to develop an experience for the people who come downtown.' But some residents worry that the lights, which are currently being tested in and around Las Vegas City Hall, are an invasion of privacy. Civil rights activist, Daphne Lee told NBC News 3 that she is worried about her freedom as an American citizen. "This technology, you know is taking us to a place where, you know, you'll essentially be monitored from the moment you leave your home till the moment you get home.'' On the Intellistreets website, inventor Ron Harwood explains that cameras for surveillance and recording devices can be installed in the light fixtures. But Las Vegas public works director, Jorge Servantes told News 3 that recording pedestrians is not in the cards in the immediate future. "Right now our intention is not to have any cameras or recording devices, It's just to provide output out there, not to get any feed or video feed coming back.'' That said, the lights are being touted as security devices that can assist with 'Homeland Security' measures by providing applications like video surveillance and motion sensors.

FYI—These scenarios only contemplate _passive_ surveillance; even the tiniest amount of non-passive activity would greatly magnify these effects: a computer system which fails on election day, a selected number of email accounts and/or text messaging systems become inaccessible at inopportune times, mobile phones whose connections are broken during press interviews, an inconvenient "backhoe fiber cut" which cancels a TV appearance, plane flights delayed due to computer glitches, etc. There's more than enough natural "static" under which to hide considerable amounts of mischief. http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/print/2013/11/the-surveillance-state-puts-us-elections-at-risk-of-manipulation/281232/ The Surveillance State Puts U.S. Elections at Risk of Manipulation By Conor Friedersdorf Did the Obama Administration ever spy on Mitt Romney during the recent presidential contest? Alex Tabarrok, who raised the question at the popular economics blog Marginal Revolution, acknowledges that it is provocative. Until recently, he would've regarded it as a "loony" question, he writes, and he doesn't think that President Obama ordered the NSA to spy on Romney for political gain. Let's be clear: I don't think so either. In every way, I regard Obama as our legitimate head of state, full stop. But I agree with Tabarrok that today, "the only loonies are those who think the question unreasonable." * Most Americans have a strong intuition that spying and electoral manipulation of that kind could never happen here. I share that intuition, but I know it's nonsense: the Nixon Administration did spy on its opponents for political gain. Why do I worry that an unreformed surveillance state could put us in even greater jeopardy of such shenanigans? Actually, I have a particular scenario in mind, and it seems frighteningly plausible. I'll sketch it out at the end of this article. But first, let's get back to Tabarrok: Do I think Obama ordered the NSA to spy on Romney for political gain? No. Some people claim that President Obama didn't even know about the full extent of NSA spying. Indeed, I imagine that President Obama was almost as surprised as the rest of us when he first discovered that we live in a mass surveillance state in which billions of emails, phone calls, Facebook metadata and other data are being collected. The answer is yes, however, if we mean did the NSA spy on political candidates like Mitt Romney. Did Mitt Romney ever speak with Angela Merkel, whose phone the NSA bugged, or any one of the dozens of her advisers that the NSA was also bugging? Did Romney exchange emails with Mexican President Felipe Calderon? Were any of Romney's emails, photos, texts or other metadata hovered up by the NSA's break-in to the Google and Yahoo communications links? Almost certainly the answer is yes. Of course, that doesn't mean that Romney's information was improperly exploited during the election. "Did the NSA use the information they gathered on Mitt Romney and other political candidates for political purposes? Probably not," Tabarrok writes. "Will the next president or the one after that be so virtuous so as to not use this kind of power? I have grave doubts. Men are not angels." I'll tell you why I agree on both counts. Why do I doubt Romney was treated unfairly? Because I doubt Obama would have dared order it, and because the prospect of a Romney victory didn't threaten either the NSA nor a contractor like Booz Allen Hamilton nor the national-security state generally. There was reason to believe he'd have been friendlier to them than Obama! The scenario I worry about most isn't actually another Richard Nixon type in the Oval Office, though that could certainly happen. What I worry about actually more closely resembles Mark Felt, the retired FBI agent exposed 32 years after Watergate as Deep Throat—that is, I worry more about people high up inside the national-security state using their insider knowledge to help take down a politician. Is part of the deference they enjoy due to politicians worrying about that too? Imagine a very plausible 2016 presidential contest in which an anti-NSA candidate is threatening to win the nomination of one party or the other -- say that Ron Wyden is challenging Hillary Clinton, or that Rand Paul might beat Chris Christie. Does anyone doubt where Keith Alexander or his successor as NSA director would stand in that race? Or in a general election where an anti-NSA candidate might win? What would an Alexander type do if he thought the victory of one candidate would significantly rein in the NSA with catastrophic effects on national security? Would he really do nothing to prevent their victory? I don't know. But surely there is some plausible head of the NSA who'd be tempted to use his position to sink the political prospects of candidates antagonistic to the agency's interests. And we needn't imagine something so risky and unthinkable as direct blackmail. Surveillance-state defenders will want to jump in here and insist that there are already internal safeguards and congressional oversight to prevent the abuses I am imagining. But I don't buy it. It isn't just that I can't help but think Alexander could find a way to dig up dirt on politicians if he wanted to without it ever getting out to overseers or the public. Forget about Alexander. Let's think about someone much lower in the surveillance state hierarchy: Edward Snowden. As we know, Snowden broke protocol and violated his promise to keep classified information secret because his conscience demanded it: He believed that he was acting for the greater good; his critics have called him a narcissist for taking it upon himself to violate rules and laws he'd agreed to obey. It isn't hard to imagine an alternative world in which the man in Snowden's position was bent not on reforming the NSA, but on thwarting its reformers -- that he was willing to break the law in service of the surveillance state, fully believing that he was acting in the best interests of the American people. A conscience could lead a man that way too. This Bizarro Edward Snowden wouldn't have to abscond to a foreign country with thousands of highly sensitive documents. He wouldn't have to risk his freedom. Affecting a U.S. presidential election would be as easy as quietly querying Rand Paul, or Ron Wyden, or one of their close associates, finding some piece of damaging information, figuring out how someone outside the surveillance state could plausibly happen upon that information, and then passing it off anonymously or with a pseudonym to Politico, or The New York Times, or Molly Ball. Raise your hand if you think that Snowden could've pulled that off. And if you were running for president, or senator, even today, might you think twice about mentioning even an opinion as establishment friendly as, "Hey, I'm all for NSA surveillance, but I don't trust a private contractor like Booz Allen Hamilton to do it"? Maybe safeguards put in place since the first Snowden leak would prevent a Bizarro Edward Snowden with strong Booz loyalties from targeting you. Maybe. Why risk it? In yet another scenario, the NSA wouldn't go so far as to use information obtained through surveillance to affect an election. But they'd use it to their advantage to thwart the reform agenda of the candidate they didn't like if he or she won. And maybe the NSA would be as horrified by this sort of thing as I am. But maybe one of their contractors is on the payroll of a foreign government, and that person wants to affect a presidential election by exploiting the unprecedented amounts of data that the surveillance state has collected and stored on almost everyone. American democracy could be subverted in all sorts of hypothetical ways. Why worry about this one in particular? Here's the general standard I'd submit as the one that should govern our thinking: If a powerful institutional actor within government has a strong incentive to do something bad, the means to do it, and a high likelihood of being able to do it without getting caught, it will be done eventually. The NSA has the incentive. At least as recently as the Snowden leaks, an unknown number of its employees or contractors had the means. And many informed observers believe abuse undetected by overseers could be easily accomplished. If this particular abuse happened, it would be ruinous to self-government. Let's fix this before it causes a scandal even bigger than Watergate—or permits behavior more scandalous than Watergate that is never uncovered, rectified or punished. *And yes, it's just as legitimate to ask, did the Bush Administration spy on John Kerry? **How sure are we that we know why he leaked?

A Fraying of the Public/Private Surveillance Partnership http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2013/11/a-fraying-of-the-public-private-surveillance-partnership/281289/ The public/private surveillance partnership between the NSA and corporate data collectors is starting to fray. The reason is sunlight. The publicity resulting from the Snowden documents has made companies think twice before allowing the NSA access to their users' and customers' data. Pre-Snowden, there was no downside to cooperating with the NSA. If the NSA asked you for copies of all your Internet traffic, or to put backdoors into your security software, you could assume that your cooperation would forever remain secret. To be fair, not every corporation cooperated willingly. Some fought in court. But it seems that a lot of them, telcos and backbone providers especially, were happy to give the NSA unfettered access to everything. Post-Snowden, this is changing. Now that many companies' cooperation has become public, they're facing a PR backlash from customers and users who are upset that their data is flowing to the NSA. And this is costing those companies business. How much is unclear. In July, right after the PRISM revelations, the Cloud Security Alliance reported that US cloud companies could lose $35 billion over the next three years, mostly due to losses of foreign sales. Surely that number has increased as outrage over NSA spying continues to build in Europe and elsewhere. There is no similar report for software sales, although I have attended private meetings where several large US software companies complained about the loss of foreign sales. On the hardware side, IBM is losing business in China. The US telecom companies are also suffering: AT&T is losing business worldwide. This is the new reality. The rules of secrecy are different, and companies have to assume that their responses to NSA data demands will become public. This means there is now a significant cost to cooperating, and a corresponding benefit to fighting. Over the past few months, more companies have woken up to the fact that the NSA is basically treating them as adversaries, and are responding as such. In mid-October, it became public that the NSA was collecting e-mail address books and buddy lists from Internet users logging into different service providers. Yahoo, which didn't encrypt those user connections by default, allowed the NSA to collect much more of its data than Google, which did. That same day, Yahoo announced that it would implement SSL encryption by default for all of its users. Two weeks later, when it became public that the NSA was collecting data on Google users by eavesdropping on the company's trunk connections between its data centers, Google announced that it would encrypt those connections. We recently learned that Yahoo fought a government order to turn over data. Lavabit fought its order as well. Apple is now tweaking the government. And we think better of those companies because of it. Now Lavabit, which closed down its e-mail service rather than comply with the NSA's request for the master keys that would compromise all of its customers, has teamed with Silent Circle to develop a secure e-mail standard that is resistant to these kinds of tactics. The Snowden documents made it clear how much the NSA relies on corporations to eavesdrop on the Internet. The NSA didn't build a massive Internet eavesdropping system from scratch. It noticed that the corporate world was already eavesdropping on every Internet user—surveillance is the business model of the Internet, after all—and simply got copies for itself. Now, that secret ecosystem is breaking down. Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis wrote about transparency, saying "Sunlight is said to be the best of disinfectants." In this case, it seems to be working. These developments will only help security. Remember that while Edward Snowden has given us a window into the NSA's activities, these sorts of tactics are probably also used by other intelligence services around the world. And today's secret NSA programs become tomorrow's PhD theses, and the next day's criminal hacker tools. It's impossible to build an Internet where the good guys can eavesdrop, and the bad guys cannot. We have a choice between an Internet that is vulnerable to all attackers, or an Internet that is safe from all attackers. And a safe and secure Internet is in everyone's best interests, including the US's.
Exclusive: Snowden persuaded other NSA workers to give up passwords - sources Mark Hosenball and Warren Strobel, Reuters, 07 Nov 2013 Former U.S. National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden used login credentials and passwords provided unwittingly by colleagues at a spy base in Hawaii to access some of the classified material he leaked to the media, sources said. A handful of agency employees who gave their login details to Snowden were identified, questioned and removed from their assignments, said a source close to several U.S. government investigations into the damage caused by the leaks. Snowden may have persuaded between 20 and 25 fellow workers at the NSA regional operations center in Hawaii to give him their logins and passwords by telling them they were needed for him to do his job as a computer systems administrator, a second source said. The revelation is the latest to indicate that inadequate security measures at the NSA played a significant role in the worst breach of classified data in the super-secret eavesdropping agency's 61-year history. Reuters reported last month that the NSA failed to install the most up-to-date, anti-leak software at the Hawaii site before Snowden went to work there and downloaded highly classified documents belonging to the agency and its British counterpart, Government Communication Headquarters. It is not clear what rules the employees broke by giving Snowden their passwords, which allowed the contractor access to data that he was not authorized to see. Snowden worked at the Hawaii site for about a month last spring, during which he got access to and downloaded tens of thousands of secret NSA documents. COVERING TRACKS "In the classified world, there is a sharp distinction between insiders and outsiders. If you've been cleared and especially if you've been polygraphed, you're an insider and you are presumed to be trustworthy," said Steven Aftergood, a secrecy expert with the Federation of American Scientists. "What agencies are having a hard time grappling with is the insider threat, the idea that the guy in the next cubicle may not be reliable," he added. Officials with the NSA and the Office of Director of National Intelligence declined to comment due to a criminal investigation related to Snowden, who disclosed previously secret U.S. government mass surveillance programs while in Hong Kong in June and then fled to Russia where he was granted temporary asylum. People familiar with efforts to assess the damage to U.S. intelligence caused by Snowden's leaks have said assessments are proceeding slowly because Snowden succeeded in obscuring some electronic traces of how he accessed NSA records. The sources did not know if the NSA employees who were removed from their assignments were given other duties or fired. While the U.S. government now believes it has a good idea of all the data to which Snowden could have accessed, investigators are not positive which and how much of that data Snowden actually downloaded, the sources said. Snowden and some of his interlocutors, such as former Guardian writer Glenn Greenwald, have said that Snowden provided NSA secrets only to media representatives such as Greenwald, filmmaker Laura Poitras, and a reporter with the British newspaper. They have emphatically denied that he provided any classified material to countries such as China or Russia. The revelation that Snowden got access to some of the material he leaked by using colleagues' passwords surfaced as the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee approved a bill intended in part to tighten security over U.S. intelligence data. One provision of the bill would earmark a classified sum of money - estimated as less than $100 million - to help fund efforts by intelligence agencies to install new software designed to spot and track attempts to access or download secret materials without proper authorization. The bill also requires that the Director of National Intelligence set up a system requiring intelligence contractors to quickly report to spy agencies on incidents in which data networks have been penetrated by unauthorized persons.

National Cyber Awareness System: TA13-309A: CryptoLocker Ransomware Infections https://www.us-cert.gov/ncas/alerts/TA13-309A Original release 05 Nov 2013, Last revised 13 Nov 2013 Systems Affected Microsoft Windows systems running Windows 8, Windows 7, Vista, and XP operating systems Overview US-CERT is aware of a malware campaign that surfaced in 2013 and is associated with an increasing number of ransomware infections. CryptoLocker is a new variant of ransomware that restricts access to infected computers and demands the victim provide a payment to the attackers in order to decrypt and recover their files. As of this time, the primary means of infection appears to be phishing emails containing malicious attachments. Description CryptoLocker appears to have been spreading through fake emails designed to mimic the look of legitimate businesses and through phony FedEx and UPS tracking notices. In addition, there have been reports that some victims saw the malware appear following after a previous infection from one of several botnets frequently leveraged in the cyber-criminal underground. Impact The malware has the ability to find and encrypt files located within shared network drives, USB drives, external hard drives, network file shares and even some cloud storage drives. If one computer on a network becomes infected, mapped network drives could also become infected. CryptoLocker then connects to the attackers' command and control (C2) server to deposit the asymmetric private encryption key out of the victim's reach. Victim files are encrypted using asymmetric encryption. Asymmetric encryption uses two different keys for encrypting and decrypting messages. Asymmetric encryption is a more secure form of encryption as only one party is aware of the private key, while both sides know the public key. While victims are told they have three days to pay the attacker through a third-party payment method (MoneyPak, Bitcoin), some victims have claimed online that they paid the attackers and did not receive the promised decryption key. US-CERT and DHS encourage users and administrators experiencing a ransomware infection NOT to respond to extortion attempts by attempting payment and instead to report the incident to the FBI at the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) [ http://www.ic3.gov ]. Solution *Prevention* US-CERT recommends users and administrators take the following preventative measures to protect their computer networks from a CryptoLocker infection: * Do not follow unsolicited web links in email messages or submit any information to webpages in links. * Use caution when opening email attachments. Refer to the Security Tip * Using Caution with Email Attachments [ http://www.us-cert.gov/ncas/tips/st04-010 ] for more information on safely handling email attachments. * Maintain up-to-date anti-virus software. * Perform regular backups of all systems to limit the impact of data and/or system loss. * Apply changes to your Intrusion Detection/Prevention Systems and Firewalls to detect any known malicious activity. * Secure open-share drives by only allowing connections from authorized users. * Keep your operating system and software up-to-date with the latest patches. * Refer to the Recognizing and Avoiding Email Scams http://www.us-cert.gov/sites/default/files/publications/emailscams_0905.pdf (pdf) document for more information on avoiding email scams. * Refer to the Security Tip Avoiding Social Engineering and Phishing Attacks [ http://www.us-cert.gov/ncas/tips/st04-014 ] for more information on social engineering attacks. *Mitigation* US-CERT suggests the following possible mitigation steps that users and administrators can implement, if you believe your computer has been infected with CryptoLocker malware: * Immediately disconnect the infected system from the wireless or wired network. This may prevent the malware from further encrypting any more files on the network. * Users who are infected should change all passwords AFTER removing the malware from their system. * Users who are infected with the malware should consult with a reputable security expert to assist in removing the malware, or users can retrieve encrypted files by the following methods: * Restore from backup, * Restore from a shadow copy or * Perform a system restore.

The evolution of a European security strategy
|Onsdag, 24. September 2008 0 kommentti(a)
Raimo Väyrynen
The new European Security Strategy (A Secure Europe in a Better World) was launched in 2003 in somewhat different international circumstances. Though there were at that time frictions in EUs relations with Russia, the mood of cooperation still prevailed. In fact, in some respects, political tensions in transatlantic relations, due to the war on Iraq, were as visible as in those with Russia.
The Union could in those conditions stress its unique international role as a leading economic power which has global interests and which must develop capabilities to respond to key threats and challenges in an increasingly complex world. The concerns of the security strategy related obviously to such traditional threats as the spread of weapons of mass destruction and regional conflicts, but also addressed the problems of state failure and organized crime.
A comparative advantage of the EU is the broad range of instruments at its disposal; e.g., security and defense policy, trade policy, development assistance, enlargement, and the promotion of human rights and democracy. The preponderance of political and economic instruments in the Unions toolbox means that it is better equipped than the traditional great powers to deal with the new types of threats and challenges.
No doubt, much of this analysis of the ESS is still valid; the risks of WMDs and state failures are, in effect, even more acute than they were five years ago. Therefore, in the opinion of the European Council, a completely new security strategy for Europe is not needed, only elements to complement the old one, as the Council formulated the approach in December 2007.
However, in some critical respects, the world has changed in important ways, in particular with the reorientation of Russias policy in general and especially in North Caucasus. Power politics did not return to the international scene on August 8, 2008, as has been claimed, it has been practiced in last years by several countries, especially the United States in the Middle East. Yet, the Russian premeditated strike on Georgia to respond to its military operation in South Ossetia was a turning point, as had been U.S. attacks on Afghanistan and especially on Iraq a few years earlier.
The Russian attack on Georgia is reverberating within NATO and leading there to debates on the real meaning of the membership in the Alliance and the viability of Art. 5 in its charter. The impact of Georgia on the EU is obviously different; it is not an alliance that has explicit commitments to defend other member states. The crisis has opened up, though, the question whether the Union is able to act as a coherent actor and whether its toolbox is relevant in dealing with the serious challenges to the security of a European country (which in this case is not a member state).
Common and coherent external policies require common interests, effective institutions, and adequate capabilities. The EU is able to provide economic and humanitarian assistance and offer diplomatic good offices, but it is hardly able to pursue strong and consistent foreign policies and even less to use military means. The crisis between Russia and Georgia has shown that the 27 member states of the EU have diverging interests and they, therefore, express different preferences on policy. There are differences of interests and opinions even within individual countries (of which Germany is an example).
An obvious conclusion from the Georgian crisis is that the EU needs a new security strategy which takes the changing policy of Russia, among other things, into account. This is easier said than done, however. Different economic and strategic interests of the member states make a capable and coherent foreign and security policy very difficult to accomplish, in particular if it would aim to punish Russia materially for its policies.
That is why the new version of the European Security Strategy, now under preparation, will, in all likelihood, be content to record in a critical manner the changes in Russian policy and shore up the Unions political commitment to prevent and resolve military crises. It is, however, difficult to see how the Union could become a more consequential player in interstate military conflicts, and perhaps it even should not.

New Living Translation EXPOSED!
by Robert J. Stewart
The New Living Translation (NLT) is straight from Hell. On their official website, NLT advertises with the slogan, "Accuracy you can trust." Unfortunately, the NLT is not very accurate. The fact that the word "begotten" has been wrongfully removed from John 3:16 should be enough reason for every Christian to trash their NLT. In fact, I would rip it into shreds first to ensure that no one else is poisoned by it. To say that Jesus is God's "only son" is a lie! In fact, God has many sons according to Scriptures such as 1st John 3:1, "Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God." Biblically, God has MANY sons, but Jesus is the only BEGOTTEN Son. So you see, ANY bible which removes the word "begotten" from John 3:16 becomes heresy. This includes most modern bibles such as the perverted New International Version (NIV), The Book For Teens (TBFT), the New Living Translation (NLT), the New Believer's Bible (NBB), the Living Bible (LB), and many more. It is tragic!
Let's face it, the corrupters who are publishing demonic bibles are all out to make a fast buck, filthy lucre! In order to reach the largest market base possible, they trim and water down the Scriptures as much as tolerable. This is evil. God hates Bible corruption –Deuteronomy 4:2, "Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you." Well, the NLT butchers have diminished God's Word by subtracting "begotten" from John 3:16.
The NLT was published in 1996 by Tyndale Publishers. Few Christians realize that there have been over 200 new Bible translations published just within the last 30 years. It's blatantly obvious that this evil is the result of much greed and love for money (1st Timothy 6:10). The NLT is based upon Kenneth N. Taylor's corrupted Living Bible (1971). His perverted Living Bible sold over 40 million copies in North America alone. Taylor died in June of 2005 at age 88. It is wicked to corrupt the Word of God (2nd Peter 3:16). Now comes the damnable New Living translation. Although the NLT preface claims that 87 scholars were involved in the word of translation, I have to seriously wonder if any of them really loved Jesus Christ. 1st Peter 2:7 reads, "Unto you therefore which believe he is precious…" How could any professed Christian who loves Jesus be involved in a bible translation that perverts the Word of God. The fact that dozens of different ecumenical groups were involved in the work of translation speaks volumes as to the Devil's attempt to water down the Word of God. Increasingly, modern bible translations must be more politically correct in order to sell at high volumes. So as the world plunges further into the depths of wickedness and apostasy, new translations must follow along if they are to sell. Take a look at The Book For Teens bible, which is based upon the New Living Translation, not one mention is made of the blood of Jesus in the section on "Salvation through Jesus Christ" (Page A47). The blood of Jesus is a taboo subject nowadays amongst many pseudo-Christian groups, thanks to heretics like John MacArthur.
As further proof of corruption, Billy Graham endorses the NLT on the front cover jacket. Billy Graham is Mr. ecumenical himself, who has done more to unite apostate protestants with the Great Whore of Catholicism than anyone else. 2nd Corinthians 6:14-17 commands us to separate from the unbelieving world, NOT yoke up with them. Ephesians 5:11 tells us to reprove the works of darkness, NOT fellowship with them. Billy graham is on the Devil's side, a friend of the world, and the enemy of God (James 4:4). The Catholic Church is straight out of the pits of Hell and it's about time that ALL the preachers around the world start proclaiming it. Billions of souls are headed for destruction because of compromised and cowardly pastors and preachers who are afraid to offend anyone. Speak the Truth! Offend them! Their souls are at stake!

NLT perverts the Godhead!
1st John 5:7 is a vital Scripture that EVERY Christian should know. This Scripture clearly proclaims that God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost are ONE. But, the NLT says otherwise…
KJB – "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one."
NLT – "So we have these three witnesses."
What blasphemy! Many Christians have bought into the lie that 1st John 5:7 wasn't in the originals –IT WAS! It depends on which originals you're talking about. The Textus Receptus (or received text) from which our reliable King James Bible comes DOES contain 1st John 5:7.
1st John 5:7 in the NLT greatly contradicts John 10:30…
"I and my Father are one." -John 10:30 KJB
It also contradicts Luke 3:22…
"And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased."
The NLT Bible-corrupters even removed the Godhead from Romans 1:20…
KJB – "For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:"
NLT – "From the time the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky and all that God made. They can clearly see his invisible qualities–his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse whatsoever for not knowing God.
One of the most popular attacks that unbelievers launch against Christians is to say that the word "trinity" is not even found in the Bible. The best defense is to show them the multiple Scriptures in the Word of God which teach about the GODHEAD. Tragically, the word "Godhead" isn't even mentioned in the NLT. What? Yes, that is correct…some "accurate" translation huh? This is why I confidently say that the New Living Translation is straight from Hell. Here's Acts 17:29 compared…
KJB – "Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device."
NLT – "And since this is true, we shouldn't think of God as an idol designed by craftsmen from gold or silver or stone."
Many cults (such as Islamic Muslims and Jehovah Witnesses) acknowledge the existence of a god, but deny the Godhead. It is tragic that so many believers are supporting these modern versions that maliciously attack the Godhead and Jesus' deity. Look what they've done to Colossians 2:9…
KJB – "For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
NLT – "For in Christ the fullness of God lives in a human body."
I noticed a tiny asterisk mark (*) next to Colossians 2:9 in the NLT. I looked to the bottom to see what the footnote said… "Greek in him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily." Do you see what is happening here? To make everybody happy, the NLT Bible-corrupters completely removed "Godhead" to appease the liberals, but then they've also placed the truth in a little footnote in an attempt to appease conservative protestants. Why in the world would they not place the literal Greek translation in Colossians 2:9, why would they put the correct Greek translation in a tiny footnote at the bottom of the page? Do you know what happens in the making of a new bible? It's kind of like the bargaining table at contract time between the union and company management. All the different religious denominations are invited to the bargaining table and a meeting is held to decide what COMPROMISES must be made to make the "new" bible acceptable to their particular denomination. This is all done in an attempt to reach the largest market base possible. By the time the new corrupted bible is finished, without fail, the Godhead (trinity) and the deity of Jesus Christ are greatly diminished. This is why I love the old King James Bible, it proudly proclaims the Godhead and the deity of our Precious Lord Jesus Christ.
NLT perverts Christ's Deity!
One of the most important verses in the Bible is John 3:16. As mentioned earlier, the NLT perverts this verse by removing the word "begotten," thus saying that God only has one son. But 1st John 3:1 in the KJB reads, "Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not." Clearly, God has many sons, but Jesus is the only BEGOTTEN Son of God, which makes Jesus God.
KJB – " "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." -John 3:16
NLT – "For God so loved the world that he gave he gave his only son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life." -John 3:16
The NLT teaches heresy!
"For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus." -Galatians 3:26 KJB
The NLT also corrupts 1st Timothy 3:16…
KJB – "…God was manifest in the flesh…"
TBFT – "…Christ appeared in the flesh…"
Jesus claimed to be Almighty God in Revelation 1:8. For anyone to diminish 1st Timothy 3:16 to a mere "Christ appeared in the flesh" is ridiculous. Any idiot knows that Jesus appeared in the flesh! But the KJB declares that GOD was manifest (or revealed) in the fleshly body of Jesus Christ. It angers many people when you promote the deity of Christ, thus the reason why ALL modern bibles attack Jesus' deity.
Again, the NLT perverts Philippians 2:5, 6…
KJB – "Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God."
NLT – "Though he was God, he did not demand and cling to his rights as God."
The NLT cleverly corrupted Philippians 2:6 by removing the word "equal." In so doing, they have lowered Jesus to the God of the Jehovah Witnesses. JW's teach that Jesus is "a god," but not Almighty God, which is a lie of the Devil. By saying that Jesus is "equal" with God, the KJB is clearly declaring Christ as Almighty God.
As further proof of the NLT attack on Jesus' deity, look at Colossians 1:16…
KJB – "For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth…"
NLT – "Christ is the one through whom God created everything in heaven and earth."
Blasphemy! The KJB declares that Jesus created all things, but the NLT wrongfully teaches that God created all things through Jesus. This is exactly what the Jehovah Witnesses cult teaches. JW's deny Christ's deity (as do most cults). JW's teach that God created everything THROUGH Jesus. On the contrary, the KJB proclaims in Colossians 1:16 that Jesus Christ created all things Himself. It is wicked heresy to say that Jesus did not create the universe by His own Word. John 1:10 reads, "He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not." Sadly, the NLT perverts this Scripture also, claiming that God created the universe "through" Jesus instead of "by" Jesus as the Word of God teaches in the KJB. The JW's would be proud of the NLT. Oh listen friend, you need to burn your NLT because it dishonors and dethrones the Lord Jesus Christ.
NLT perverts Acts 12:4!
The NLT perverts Acts 12:4 by changing "Easter" to "Passover." Numbers 28:16,17 clearly teaches that the seven days of unleavened bread FOLLOWED the day of Passover. Acts 12:2 in the KJB tells us that the days of unleavened bread were already being observed, which means that the day of Passover was OVER! So when the NIV and the NLT say that Herod was waiting for the Passover in Acts 12:5, they are lying! The KJB wisely uses the proper word "Easter" because the Passover had already occurred.
NLT completely removes the word "sodomite" from the Bible
God describes homosexuals with the word "sodomite" for a reason. Jude 1:7 reads, "Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire." The word "sodomite" comes from the city of Sodom, a city so vile and wicked that God decided to utterly destroy it by reigning down fire and brimstone from Heaven. To call homosexuality, "sodomy," implies the judgment of God upon the wicked sin of homosexuality. The modern definition of sodomy is NOT the Biblical definition. Sodomy in the Bible is defined as sex between two men, or two women (homosexuality and lesbianism). We read of the woeful homosexuality problem in Sodom in Genesis 19:4, 5. American society has plunged horribly into wickedness and apostasy, even to the extent of corrupting the Bible for the sake of being politically correct to make money. Now there's even a homosexual bible.
Get a King James Bible!
The 1611 King James Bible is trustworthy. We don't rewrite Shakespeare because we can't understand the archaic English; rather, we study it in the beauty in which it was written. To retranslate Shakespeare into modern English would be a literary tragedy. This it is a woeful tragedy what modern Bible corrupters have done to God's Word. In the King James Bible we have the preserved and inspired Word of God. The Bible is to be studied, not read like a comic book or magazine. Too many believers have bought into the lie that we need a new Bible, and another, and another…where will it end? –The Satanic Bible?

Christie Traffic Investigation a Media Diversion?
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's administration has begun turning over documents in the investigation of a recent plot to block traffic near the George Washington Bridge. The deadline for the subpoenaed information is Monday.
Critics say the plan was designed to punish Fort Lee Mayor Mark Sokolich for refusing to support Christie's reelection bid.
The governor has apologized for the scandal but claimed he didn't know about it.
"I had no knowledge of this -- of the planning, the execution, or anything about it -- and that I first found out about it after it was over," Christie said in a January press conference.
CBN News Sr. Political Correspondent David Brody shared his insight on the potential political fallout for Gov. Chris Christie on CBN Newswatch, Feb. 3.
But David Wildstein, a former Christie loyalist, has suggested that's not true. Now a Democrat-led investigating committee is demanding more information.
"We have subpoenas out to 20 individuals and organizations, and those documents could range potentially from a couple of papers to thousands of papers," Democratic New Jersey Assemblyman John Wisneiwski said.
Some of Christie's supporters believe coverage of the scandal is being overblown, fueled in part by a national media that wants little or nothing to do with a handful of more serious scandals in the Obama administration.
Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani told CBS News he believes Christie, who is a leading potential GOP nominee for the 2016 presidential race, should keep his post as head of the Republican governor's conference while the investigation is underway.
"Maybe I suffer from this, having been a Republican office holder in a Democratic city with lots of newspapers coming after you, some that have real biases," Giuliani told CBS's "Face the Nation," Sunday.
"If we have our guys step down any time they do this -- let's get a Republican, let's get the Democrats to have a special committee with a guy running the special committee who announces that he believes the governor is lying before he begins the investigation -- they're going to harass us this entire campaign," he said.
As the documents make their way to the committee, establishment Republicans are urging caution.
"There's nothing wrong with saying the following: until and unless there's evidence to prove he did something wrong, we'll take the governor at his word and let him do his job," Giuliani said. "I believe it will come out all right. If it doesn't, there's always time to take action then."

Vladimir Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Welcome to Clear Guides
Vladimir Pro/Cons
Now, as you see, my masteries are very ability power-based. 21-0-9 can be slightly tweaked for your liking, but this is what I would recommend, for it gives needed ability power and magic penetration.
Greater Mark of Magic Penetration
Greater Glyph of Cooldown Reduction
Greater Seal of Health Regeneration
Greater Quintessence of Spell Vamp
Now, here are my clear runes.
Greater Mark of Magic Penetration
Insight will add much needed magic penetration,
Greater Glyph of Cooldown Reduction
Focus helps with cooldown,
Greater Seal of Vigor
Vigor adds amounts of health regen,
Greater Quintessence of Spell Vamp
and finally, spell vamp is always good.
Summoner Spells
Now, the two spells I use for Vladimir are Ignite and Ghost. Ignite allows you to get the last shot on an enemy, and Ghost allows you to get away quickly and get to ganks faster.
If you don't like any of these spells, try some of these spells.
Flash is, although more popular, not as good as ghost for Vladimir. It does have less cooldown time, but if not as effective. It teleports you to a nearby area.
Cleanse is more of a situational spell. If you're not good with getting away from stuns or slows, and don't want to get Quicksilver Sash. It takes off a stun/slow, and reduces future stuns/slows for 2 seconds.
Not the most self-serving spell, but can help your team take out a jungler or spot mia's. Really not very good, but still viable.
Kinda explains itself >_<

I went on a short afternoon hike today to see if I could find some diamondbacks, or at least work on my new boots a bit before my big trip to PA in 3 weeks. Within 15 minutes I found a skinny, female diamondback out sniffing through some brush, and was far enough away so that she hadn't noticed me. Rather than get a photo and move on looking for more, I thought I'd just spend the sunset time following her to see what she does.
Here she is as found.
She nosed around the bush for awhile, and eventually decided to move to the other side.
… and after looking in and out of a few holes along the opposite side, she coiled up against the warm dirt wall, which is how I left her a few minutes later without so much as a tongue flick in my direction.

|© UNICEF Pakistan/2007/Paradela
|Najma, 14, and her brother Ishaq, 6, lost their home when floods ravaged their village in Sindh Province, Pakistan.
By Antonia Paradela
SINDH PROVINCE, Pakistan, 10 July 2007 – The first thing that Najma remembers from the night of the floods was a voice shouting in panic: "Water, water!" It was midnight when the 14-year-old and her five siblings stumbled through the darkness and finally managed to reach the main road.
"I was terrified," she says. "My father was sick and we had to drag him into safety. We have lost everything."
Najma's life had been peaceful and secure up to that moment. But everything changed late last month, when the floodwaters ravaged her village in the Kamber District of Sindh Province, bordering Balochistan, another province hit hard by the disaster.
|© UNICEF Pakistan/2007/Paradela
|Najma carries water from a pump back to her family's shelter, but for many displaced by flooding in Sindh Province, access to safe water is a luxury.
Homes and belongings lost
In Najma's village, almost every family was affected by the recent cyclone floods – the first in the area in 30 years. Many villagers lost their homes and belongings, and are now seeking refuge in basic shelters on the high ground.
Najma's family saw their cattle drowned and their rice crops ruined. They sleep on the road under a neighbour's tractor.
Across the floodwaters, which have yet to recede, Najma can still see her village. But the mud walls of her home are slowly collapsing before her eyes.
Vulnerable children and women
According to the latest government estimates, some 160,000 people have lost their homes and a total of more than 2 million have been affected since Cyclone Yemyin struck southwest Pakistan on 23 June. Balochistan and Sindh, where child mortality and malnutrition rates were high even before the disaster, are the worst-affected provinces.

|After the floods, Khan Zadi sent three of her four children to a nearby town to live with relatives; in her arms is her ailing 10-month-old baby, Amis.
UNICEF and its partners are working to ensure that children, who account for half of the total affected population, have access to food, water and protection from abuse or exploitation.
Najma and her family still have access to the village well. She fetches water every day and carries the heavy container on her head, back to their shelter. For hundreds of other displaced families, however, access to safe water is limited and cases of diarrhoea are on the rise among children.
Emergency relief and immunization
Khan Zadi, 40, a mother of four in the flood zone, had been struggling since her husband abandoned the family. Now the floods have inflicted yet more hardship.
Although they all survived the floods, Ms. Zadi had to send three of her children – the eldest 12 years of age and the youngest only 4 – to a nearby town to stay with relatives. She has had no contact with them since they were separated. Her 10-month-old baby Amis, who remains with her, is suffering from diarrhoea and skin disease.

Visible success and invisible failure in post-crisis reform in the Republic of Korea : interplay of the global standards, agents, and local specificity
The reform package in post-crisis Korea was one of the most comprehensively designed and decisively implemented. Though impressed by the quick recovery, many are now raising doubts about real changes in the economy, as the result of a cost-benefits analysis: While the business climate is more stable and supportive, the economy is suffering from weak investment and rising unemployment. This study views the Korean story as one of"visible success and invisible failure,"based on the following findings: First, while some new laws were enacted and several quantifiable targets met, little real progress was made in changing institutional conventions, habits, and beliefs, such as enhancing transparency in management or trust in labor relations. Second, the reform process involved tension between global standards and local specificity, which accounts for the mixed results. Third, special interest politics at the implementation stage, plus the complexities caused by increasing democratization and globalization, have undermined the authorities'implementation capacity, which accounts for uneven outcomes of the reform. While globalization necessitates increasing flexibility, Korean managers are now facing much stronger labor unions. The outcome is not a fully flexible but segmented labor market, divided between the core, unionized workers and unorganized peripheral workers, and between the one overprotected and the other underprotected. Fourth, it is important to have an effective system of legislative bargaining to help resolve disputes. Only with this institutional vehicle will special interest groups reach some consensus. Korea tried to overhaul its financial system and achieve substantial financial liberalization in the early 1990s but those attempts were partly aborted and partly distorted, which paved the way for the financial crisis in 1997. This was due to the lack of clear consensus, without which reforms are more likely to be aborted or be unsuccessful. Fifth, implementation problems stem from institutional complementarities and inappropriate sequencing. One logical sequence might be banking reform, corporate governance, labor relations, and then finally business restructuring. Now, an emerging question is whether the reform blueprint was right. Post-crisis Korea just tried to be more market- or Anglo-Saxon model-oriented without paying attention to growth potential. While firms have now lowered their debt ratios, they are not borrowing to fund investments. The issue of right or wrong blueprint underscores the need to define the reform goal correctly. The goals of reform should not just be a move toward a market-oriented economy but toward a growth-oriented one or a pro-growth market-oriented one.

Toshiba Backs Hardware Standard24 Apr, 2002 By: Hive News
Toshiba Corp. came out in support of cooperative efforts to create hardware-based digital copy protection standards today, saying such standards "assure the integrity of digital entertainment content while bringing it to the widest possible audience."
"Toshiba Corporation applauds the recent AOL Time Warner-Intel Corporation `Joint Statement of Principles,' and wishes to express its support for multi-industry cooperation in addressing the issues surrounding the distribution, protection and consumption of digital entertainment content," said the statement from Hisashi Yamada, chief fellow of technology and technology executive of Toshiba's Digital Media Network Company and leader of Toshiba's copy protection project. "Toshiba has a long history of actively cooperating with AOL Time Warner and Intel Corp., as well as other companies, in the development and introduction of technologies for the protection of digital entertainment content, while simultaneously promoting rules for the use of these technologies that respect the rights and expectations of consumers."
The comments came as representatives from a variety of hardware makers convened in Tokyo to discuss video technology standards.
Citing protection systems including Content Scramble System (CSS), Content Protection for Prerecorded Media (CPPM), Digital Transmission Content Protection (DTCP) and Content Protection for Recordable Media (CPRM), Yamada noted that Toshiba and other hardware makers are accustomed to incorporating copy protection technology in their products.
"Because challenges in the field of copy protection often involve the various interests of a wide spectrum of entities in different industries, Toshiba considers multi-industry discussions to be the most effective means by which feasible models for copy protection will be achieved, together with some degree of participation and support by appropriate public authorities for enforcing such models," said the statement. "Toshiba looks forward to continuing to participate in these discussions, and to the opportunities for success for many companies in a wide variety of business models, as well as the enjoyment by consumers of exciting digital entertainment content and consumer-friendly devices."

MYD file name will give you the name of the table
the folder where you find the file will give you the name of the database
.frm file will give you the table schema
But it's always better to use backup and restaur themOlivier Miossec

As we get set for the Bulls season, let's take a closer look at each player on the projected roster.
Richard Hamilton
Salary: $5,000,000
Role for Bulls in 2011-'12: Hamilton gives the Bulls a legitimate scoring option with a championship pedigree at the two guard position. He is expected to take some pressure off Derrick Rose on the offensive end and provide a veteran presence in the locker room. The Bulls, who have had interest in Hamilton for a while, believe that he is a missing piece that will help them push past Miami.
What happened this summer?: Hamilton has noted several times since his arrival in Chicago that he prides himself on staying in great shape. It's obvious he continued to train hard over the past few months.
"My things is conditioning," Hamilton said with a laugh after Tuesday's shootaround. "I pride myself on running around with head chopped off a lot. Running around crazy and things like that. That's one of the things I pride myself on."
Best-case scenario: Hamilton stays healthy all year, hits shots alongside Rose and helps the Bulls push past Miami. This is the exact scenario that Bulls' front office is expecting. They believe there won't be much of a transition for Hamilton this season.
"The good thing about me is I don't dominate the ball," Hamilton said recently. "I'm not the type of player that wants to dribble the ball 10, 11, 12 times and the offense got to get stagnant and things like that. [Rose] can still do whatever he wants to do. He can control the team and I'll just help out. I'm running, catch and shoot, make quick passes, quick decisions. and it just keeps everybody in a nice little rhythm."
Worst-case scenario: Hamilton gets off to a tough start, gets injured, and upsets the chemistry the Bulls had in the locker room. This seems like a stretch given how openly he's already talked about fitting in, but it has to at least be a possibility given how much of an issue he had with the Pistons' coaching staff last season.
Bottom line: Hamilton is an upgrade over Keith Bogans. If he hits his shots, stays healthy and contributes on the defensive end, he could be everything the Bulls are hoping.

How do you know Super Rugby is about to start? Lavish launches? Feelgood stories about budding stars and exciting teams? A spike in the sale of herringbone jackets?
No, you know Super Rugby is about to start because there are screaming headlines proclaiming the game is broke accompanied, oddly, by pictures of the very well paid Israel Folau.
This is rugby union's narrative. We have no money, we are struggling to compete in a ferocious sporting market but, well, if Izzy fires the 'Tahs will be good, the Wallabies might surprise them at the World Cup and everything will be OK.
Beneath the surface the game is not so glib. ARU chief executive Bill Pulver would not have flashed the game's empty wallet to the cameras if efforts were not being made to improve the bottom line.
And, as incredible as Folau's first season was, Wallabies' coach Ewen McKenzie and the Waratah's Michael Cheika will obviously not hang their hats solely on Folau. Even if their marketing departments do.
Still, as the season kicked-off, you wanted to know why Super Rugby should tempt you away from the NRL, the AFL, the A-League the cricket or, this week, even the curling.
So you ring a bloke who's been in and around the rugby since David Campese was goose-stepping, not making a goose of himself. Someone who has the game's best interests at heart, but won't sugar coat its problems. His advice is blunt.
''I wouldn't be saying this is the season where it all turns around,'' says this insider. ''But it should be the one where the game puts itself in a much better position to do that.''
How? Well, notionally, there is the redistribution of ARU resources. An improved marketing strategy. A more meaningful presence on free-to-air television. The basics a sometimes smug game has botched, or simply ignored.
But still you want to know. Even if the shop window is now more like The Salvos than David Jones, surely Super Rugby has some good stories to tell?
Well, my insider concedes, there is a Waratahs' backline that is so good it might need a nickname. The Seattle Seahawks Super Bowl winning defence was called the Legion of Boom. What do you call Nick Phipps, Bernard Foley, Kurtley Beale, Adam Ashley-Cooper, Folau, Peter Beetham if they fire? Sadly the Waratahs' PR department is so notoriously tight-lipped they probably wouldn't tell you.
Chemistry is the key. Is Beale the magic ingredient? Or, given his sad afflictions, the destabilising influence that means the 'Tahs are, yet again, far less than the sum of their impressive parts?
Everyone knows what they think in Melbourne from where Beale and James O'Connor were expelled. A brave move from a nascent franchise yet to achieve on-field success or attract significant interest outside the rugby community.
So the Rebels are worth watching. If only because they are a social laboratory for a game confronting the behavioural problems that once only afflicted the despised Mungoes. New coach Tony McGahan is so old school he insists his players leave the field together and even clap the opposition.
Yet, at the same time, the Rebels are showing a bit of cheek. They published a Valentine's Day message to Buddy Franklin, mocking his criticism of the club for their treatment of his mate O'Connor. The head-in-the-sand Waratahs could learn a thing or two.
Saint David of Pocock is in Canberra, but not yet Prime Minister. Otherwise winning is what makes the Brumbies interesting – if only marginally profitable. They must overachieve simply to exist which seems to inspire a success rate that shames larger franchises.
My scout says the Brumbies won't do as well as last year. Which is what everyone says, before they do even better.
The Force? They have picked up every uncontracted South African except Kevin Pietersen under the development player rule. ''They'll be the only Australian team singing the national anthem in Afrikaans,'' says my man.
But the Force might also boast the most exciting young player in Australia. Twenty-one year fly-half Kyle Godwin is James O'Connor with table manners. And, according to his fellow Zimbabwean immigrant Pocock, ''one of the humblest guys you could meet''.
Which is not the customary segue to Quade Cooper whose excellent form on the Wallabies's summer tour only intensifies interest in how he performs with the Reds. It is a fascination that disturbs those who fret about Cooper's maverick image; and which encourages those who believe he can still be the attention grabbing media superstar the game needs.
Is this enough to make your remote control finger itchy? As ever interest in Sydney will depend on whether the Waratahs are winning.
The ARU will pray for that. They need a good news season to buy time while they stuff that empty wallet.

Why? How did this president impact the United States in terms of social and economy policy? How was this country worse because of this president?
I have to go with BigJules on this one, Harding was probably the worse for the reasons that he so well stated.
However I believe that we had a run of relatively weak presidents from 1845-1861, their weakness helped to stoke the flames for the upcoming Civil War.
US Grant was a great general but a weak president, having a corrupt administration because so many of his appointed staffers took advantage of him.
Weak presidents encouraged a strident congress, 'radical republicans' determined to punish the South for its rebellion, to come to the forefront. The relative weakness of latter 19th century Presidents made Reconstruction less effective and allowed the South to recreate slavery in every sense outside of the written law.
Interesting thread, thanks.
http://www.siena.edu/uploadedfiles/home … _final.pdf
The Siena Institute surveys scholars each year. They found that Warren G. Harding, Buchanan, and Andrew Johnson were the most popular picks for worst president ever. Harding was notoriously corrupt and completely inept policy wise, with a presidency that was basically run by Hoover.
Andrew Johnson, though, has to take the cake. He spent most of his presidency fighting any measures that granted newly freed blacks any actual freedom, and was drunk more often than not. He also feigned support for bills, then went back on his word regularly as part of his practice. He really was a deplorable human being.
He also was impeached, and it took a massive bribery effort to keep him in the presidency.
Let's not forget Herbert Hoover, who responded to veterans asking for their benefits by having the army shoot at them and tear-gas them.

Biologists from the Prince William Sound Science Center and Massachusetts Institute of Technology are working to better understand how the distribution of glaucous-winged gulls changes in response to salmon processing activities in Cordova during the fishing season. Gulls are captured near the city dock using a net launcher and marked with colorful leg bands to evaluate connectivity with a breeding colony located at a nearby barrier island and larger-scale migration patterns. Swabs and blood samples are collected and tested for avian influenza (aka "bird flu") which can spike in the population as gulls congregate in large numbers at the city docks after fledging from the colony. This study provides a unique opportunity to understand how human activities may alter the behavior of animal hosts, determine which factors are important in the evolution of new viral strains, and potentially enable us to predict when and how outbreaks of zoonotic pathogens will occur.
If you spot a banded gull, please send your report to Nichola Hill (firstname.lastname@example.com) or Mary Anne Bishop (email@example.com). For more information and for project updates, visit http://gullwatch.mit.edu/.
