CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Venezuela's opposition on Thursday asked prosecutors to investigate a brawl on the floor of congress that injured several of its lawmakers and forced at least one of them to undergo surgery.
Congressman Julio Borges, who suffered head injuries when ruling party member Michele Reyes repeatedly struck him in the face, met with federal prosecutors to demand the probe into who was responsible for Tuesday's clash in the National Assembly.
"We were brutally attacked," Borges said, even as government officials argued that opposition lawmakers provoked the violence.
The extent of the violence is becoming clearer as opposition politician reveal the contents of videos recorded during the session.
One video unveiled by opposition lawmakers on Thursday showed Reyes, a large man, lunging toward Borges, then landing numerous punches on each side of the opposition politician's face.
At another point, a man standing among a group of ruling party members threw what appears to be a glass bottle at opposition lawmaker Eduardo Gomez Sigala as he fought off several aggressors.
The video also showed pro-government lawmaker Nancy Ascencio making a kicking movement as she stood over a person lying on the floor.
Immediately afterward, Ascencio shouted at the person below her and walked away as opposition lawmaker Maria Corina Machado was lifted off the floor.
The Prosecutor's Office did not comment on Borges' demands. Prosecutor General Luisa Ortega is widely considered to be a close ally of prominent ruling party members and prosecution of lawmakers would be nearly impossible because they enjoy immunity from most criminal charges.
Machado underwent surgery Thursday on her nose, which she said was broken when political rivals threw her to the floor and repeatedly kicked her in the face.
National Assembly president Diosdado Cabello has blamed opposition lawmakers for the violence because they blew whistles and air horns and unveiled a protest banner during Tuesday's session after Cabello refused to let them speak.
The opposition rejects the official result of the April 14 presidential election narrowly won by Nicolas Maduro, the hand-picked successor of the late President Hugo Chavez, who died earlier this year.
Gerardo Fernandez, an attorney representing Capriles, said a team of lawyers challenged the election result in court on Thursday.
But Capriles has said he does not expect the Supreme Court, which is packed with government-friendly justices, to overturn the vote results as sought by the opposition.
Cabello has argued that the challenge by opposition lawmakers means that they do not accept their own election under the same system, and has subsequently blocked some of their legislative rights.
Before Wednesday's session began, opposition politicians discovered that microphones had been removed from their desks.
"The worse crime isn't the attack, it's denying the right to speak," Borges said.
During a televised speech on Thursday, Maduro accused opposition lawmakers of provoking their ruling-party colleagues in the legislature.
The violence inside the assembly has raised concerns outside the country.
Jose Miguel Insulza, secretary-general of the Organization of American States, said in a statement that the violence unleashed inside the assembly "dramatically reflects the absence of political dialogue that could bring about tranquility."
Insulza has urged Maduro to take measures to "re-establish the inalienable right of lawmakers to freely express themselves."
Tensions remain high among Venezuelans more than two weeks after Maduro narrowly defeated opposition leader Henrique Capriles to win the presidency.
Capriles and fellow opposition politicians plan to launch an international campaign aimed at demonstrating numerous irregularities during the vote as well as the government's use of state resources that gave Maduro an edge over his rival.

Konami Japan has released a photo of the custom PlayStation 3 design, dedicated to Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance.
It would look totally better without the blue
Hideous? Hideo...us? um... the MGR PS3 looks totally fine, and actually pretty good. if anything's hideous it's that new PS3 Slim and not the custom MGR colored edition.
Should've put the Blue on the sides and kept the top plain black with the Zai batsu font. Shit would have look sexy lmao.
Looks fine to me; besides, this is likely tailored to Japanese tastes, not Western tastes.
I think it looks pretty attractive personally. This is the first time and the last time I go to this "igo" website however.
WTF... I was expecting a monster of a console. Something as ugly as an Infiniti QX56. But it's just a normal PS3 with matte dark blue instead of black.
It would have looked better if it was the Slim model and not the Super Slim model. The color is not a problem, it's the Super Slim, that makes me wonder.
It does look plain Jane. Hideous? Might be a little to harsh.
Yea, especially considering that Hideo had nothing to do with it. ...I'll show myself out.
I see what you did there...
Looks good to me. I love blue.
Agreed. If I didn't already have a PS3 I'd probably try to import this 1.
Looks fine to me. Maybe a bit more detail wouldn't hurt.
Looks good...
A blood red would look better.
It's hideous much like the game itself.
Metal Gear Rising is looking to do a lot more for the MGS series than DmC is doing for the Devil May Cry series. After playing the DmC demo, nothing but a bad taste was left in my mouth. The drastic, stylistic change does not suit this series. The darker tone and piss poor writing (fuck you, fuck you, fuck you; really?) also take the series in the wrong direction. Gameplay is solid and really fun, but everything else is rather poor.
I wasn't a dmc fan before and I'm not after the demo either, it locked up my ps3 so I stopped trying to play it.
damn, you people find any stupid little reason not to like stuff...
Shame that some people don't know the difference between a spin off and main entry.
Agreed. Which is why I click 'agreed' xD
I have to disagree @League of Draven DMC def is not respecting or bettering the franchise of Devil May Cry. Actually they basically said screw the hardcore Devil May Cry fans to catering for the casual new fans. Catering for the new fans also paved way for the Ninja Theory/Heavenly Sword fanatics to come and support this piece of trash. Seriously Base stance with Triangle button, Angel Stance (L2 button Range attack, weaker weapon) and Demon (R2 Button, Powerful Axe but slowed gameplay) stances..... Hmmm sounds a eerily familiar to Heavenly Sword's gameplay mechanics of Speed stance (Normal Stance Square button) Power Stance (R1 button, Heavy Weapon but slowed gameplay) Range Stance (L1 Button speedy but weaker attacks) suffering from the same laggy response controls that Heavenly Sword suffers from with their controls. Sounds like Ninja Theory had more control over the game than they led on. Like I said this is not faithful to the Devil May Cry Series at all!
It's funny to have dislikes but have no comments based on the dislikes. Essentially, If you've played Heavenly Sword and played DMC, the button scheme/layout is essentially the same (Like I mentioned above in previous comment). Same laggy unresponsive controls, same weapon based stances and button mashing just to get through the stage. Play the HD Collection and Devil May Cry 4 and then try the DMC demo and try and tell me you can't feel/see the difference!
League_of_Draven... I have no words for you.
WTF?! DmC sucks! What are you talking about respecting a franchise? They raped everything that made Devil May Cry an awesome game!
How in the blue hell is DmC bettering a series? It's completely disregarding the old series and it's being made by a mediocre dev. The demo is crap and shows how much DmC is a huge downgrade of the originals. MGR is being made by guys who have been making amazing games since the PS2 era.
Judging from most comments, glad to see I'm not the only to disagree with the post. I think it looks really nice. And the controller as well.
Yeah it looks pretty good to me. Not sure how that could be considered "hideous".
the guy is probably an xbot fangirl dont pay attention,kojima said the ps3 version will be the best compared to the xbox
That controller definitely is sexy as hell.
The controller looks bad ass. I hope I can get the controller separately.
Looks alright to me, but the new ps3 is kinda small for any custom design, i went with the second gen model again for Black Friday
Unremarkable, yes, hideous, no.
I'm sure Yoji Shinkawa could have drawn a no-handed Raiden (sporting his trenchoat of course) with a katana in his mouth traversing a path of fallen soldiers and or Gekko in a landscape portrayal. The outlines of the sketch could be blue but left transparent to give it flair. The controller.....I maybe would have had a side view of Raiden's human face on the D-pad side and a picture of his now robotic visage on the other so it can look like a stand off with his inner demons.
I just don't like that new PS3. The slim looked nice and I even like the fat one. I think it's the top loading. That split in the middle of the top looks horrendous for real. Slot loading would've probably made this new slim much more attractive.
A better design would to have Raiden on it or like Lightning decals.
Not to piss in anyone cereal, but that is just shitty looking. Like no effort went into it, Looks last minute.
well i think it looks nice, probably because ive only been seeing black consoles and not other special ones around here
I hate black & Blue (Police)
the console colorway sucks however controller looks cool.
I like the controller!
I don't consider the current look of the console hideous, but more like it was rushed and little thought went into it. If they made the console transparent like the controller that would be a improvement. Maybe add some LED lights to make it glow or something along those lines to make it look electric. That would be something I would expect. Similar to this ps3 slim, but with a little more added to it.
I think it actually looks awesome, but hey we all have different tastes.
I'd be jealous, actually. Looks pretty sweet to me. The only ugly I see can be said about all non-phat PlayStation 3s.
It looks pretty sweet to me. I'd buy it if I didn't have a ps3 already.
Looks crappy.
I like it, not the best but i like a little splash of color
I like it!
I guess opinions on this are actually pretty split. Some love it, others hate it. I personally like it. I'd get it if it weren't for the Japanese exclusivity.
Reminds me of the original PS2 blue boxes.
I think it actually looks elegant. I like it. Not too interested in the game though, to me it looks like complete shit. It looked great back when Koji Pro was developing it, and it took place between MGS 2 & 4. It was supposed to show what happened when Raiden went to Area 51 to save Sunny, and how he became a cyborg. Then PG came in and ruined everything, and shit all over the ending to MGS4.
I honestly think it looks pretty cool. Nice shade of blue as well, but of course that is just my opinion. The controller looks like it fits with the overall theme as well. Obviously the author is trying to create a flame bait article but failed miserably considering a lot of people disagree with his opinion. Hate on the game if you want, but to create an article solely for expressing how "hideous" this MGR PS3 is clearly desperate attempt at getting traffic to the site. Just think about it, what is hideous about it? Is the blue to light or too dark?
It would look better if it wasn't done on this version of the PS3. Should of made it on the first slim...
OK WHAT.IS.WRONG with this console? Serious question. Has everyone turned into a whiny b***h all of a sudden or is this too only a PS3-hate thing? I mean it's a PS3 that has some blue on it WTF? Who the eff cares enough to go apesh*t over something like this.
I think it looks pretty good. subtly designed. This guy has no sense of style.
Looks badass to me.
looks good to me, i actually like it
I like the controller
I would totally get one, but that has to be Japan only...right?
It's actually an improvement over the all-black PS3.
eh, I think it looks fine. I actually recently around the time of Hurricane Sandy held a PS3 Slim 2.0. It's nicer than people think it is in person. Its a hell of a lot lighter too. I'm sure this bundle looks fine in person too. Its a cheap LE though, the console should be more like the controller.
I just want that bad A** controller!!!

Okanagan College's Kelowna campus is offering a new seven-week Bar, Wine and Service Industry Training Program beginning January 7, 2013.
"Tourism and hospitality is the largest primary resource industry in B.C.," said Lorrie Forde, Program Administrator for Okanagan College's Continuing Studies. "GO2, the B.C. tourism industry's human resource association, has forecast the tourism industry as a leader in provincial job growth. With such a large portion of the wine industry concentrated in the Okanagan Valley, Okanagan College can help enhance the communities it surrounds by providing trained employees for its premiere businesses."
There are no academic admission requirements for this program, however students must be 19 years of age or older at time of admission. This program will accept 12 students and will be seven weeks long. Students will take 178 hours of combined theory and hands-on training in class plus an additional two hours of personalized one-on-one mentoring outside of classroom time as well as a 25-hour supervised practicum experience and an introduction to online learning via the Serving It Right program.
Potential students must meet all Employment Skills Access eligibility criteria, including: unemployed, non-EI clients who are legally entitled to work in Canada, a resident of British Columbia, not be a student (i.e. enrolled in high school or enrolled in post-secondary training) and not currently participating in another Labour Market Access funded program.
Students will upgrade their essential skills while increasing their knowledge of the tourism and hospitality industries. They will learn the skills and knowledge to discuss the British Columbia wine industry, educate customers in their wine choices, as well as create and serve mixed drinks. The program will include face-to-face instruction, experiential learning, presentations, and coaching.
This program will also be offered at the Penticton Campus beginning April 15, 2013. Interested applicants for either campus can contact Kara Otke at email@example.com or 250-762-5445 ext. 4870. Initial screening questions will be asked, and if eligibility is indicated, a personal screening interview will be set up to ensure the potential student is eligible for the program.
Okanagan College operates one of the largest Continuing Studies divisions of all public post-secondary colleges in the province of British Columbia in terms of student registrations, sections offered, and student contact hours.

Value Beyond Words
October 21, 2013
Writing is central to an educated life. So it comes as no surprise that employers and graduate schools place a high premium on those who convey ideas through clear, compelling language. Effective scientists, teachers, attorneys, and business professionals—people in all walks of life—are effective communicators.
And so, at Lewis & Clark, our faculty and staff have long prepared students to become agile writers. Beginning this fall and continuing into 2014, we will celebrate one of our most lauded professors and writers: William Stafford. A member of our English department for more than 30 years, Bill was consultant in poetry to the Library of Congress (a position now known as poet laureate) and poet laureate of Oregon. January 17 will mark what would have been his 100th birthday.
This issue of the Chronicle includes reflections on the enduring relevance of Stafford's work and the impact he had on members of our community. In the coming months, I hope you will join us for one or more opportunities to celebrate his legacy. (See the schedule and more at William Stafford Centennial)
At Lewis & Clark, writing is at the core of scholarship and creative expression, and is—as our alumni attest—a tool for getting things done and making a mark in the world.
Writing runs through our College of Arts and Sciences. Small classes in our English department allow students to work directly with such award-winning writers as John Callahan, Mary Szybist, and Pauls Toutonghi. Whether majoring in classics or minoring in neuroscience, students expand their critical perspective through writing. Conducting research with faculty, our students know that inquiry and analysis are only part of the equation. Their work isn't finished until findings are clearly explained to peers and the public. Over their time here, our students refine their skills as they progress from the core requirements of Exploration and Discovery to the rigors of a senior thesis.
And writing is a strength across our campuses. Our law school's Legal Analysis and Writing Program, for example, earns national recognition. The breadth of courses, says Program Director and Professor of Law Steve Johansen J.D. '87, "gives our students a rigorous preparation so they are ready to hit the ground running when they enter practice."
Our Graduate School of Education and Counseling helps aspiring writers and teachers of writing hone their skills and find their voices. Two prime initiatives are the Northwest Writing Institute— directed by Bill Stafford's son Kim, a widely acclaimed poet, writer, and teacher—and the Oregon Writing Project, headed by Linda Christensen.
Writing is learning—to write well is to think well—so it is arduous, maddening, and clarifying, sometimes all at once, and always worth the effort. At Lewis & Clark, this Stafford centennial year, we are all the better for our focus on the promise and the power of the written word.

Gal Gadot's got herself a wonder baby on the way.
The actress, who is set to star as the titular superhero in next year's "Wonder Woman" flick, is pregnant with her second child with husband Yaron Versano.
She shared the news on social media Sunday, captioning a black and white photo of the proud parents-to-be holding her growing baby bump, "So excited to share this wonder with you... #mommyforthesecondtime" Aww!
Memorable Celebrity Pregnancy Announcements
Gadot welcomed her first child, a daughter named Alma, with her leading man back in 2011.
Back in March, the Israeli-born stunner stopped by "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" to chat about how proud she is to play such a strong role model for her little girl.
"'They always fall asleep and then the prince is the one to wake them up and they do nothing,'" Gadot recalled her daughter explaining of why she prefers to play with princes as opposed to princesses.
And that's precisely why Gadot feels like "the luckiest girl in the world." Playing Wonder Woman, Gadot has the opportunity to give her daughter a female role model.
"That made me feel really good," Gadot said.

LITTLE ROCK, AR (KAIT/AP) - Governor Mike Beebe today declared Cleburne, Conway, Garland, Hot Spring, Independence, Izard, Lincoln, Montgomery, Polk, Sharp, Stone, Union, Van Buren, White, and Yell Counties state disaster areas due to damage caused by tornadoes and severe storms Wednesday afternoon and evening.
Strong storms embedded with tornadoes damaged several houses, trees, and power lines across northern Arkansas. Those storms attributed to at least five reported injuries.
Dave Emerson with the Horseshoe Bend Police Department says a woman suffered a broken leg when the storms moved through the area in north-central Arkansas. Emerson tells Mountain Home radio station KTLO that most of the damage was concentrated around the Crown Lake area of Horseshoe Bend.
Numerous homes have been damaged in Horseshoe Bend after strong winds from severe weather moved through Wednesday evening.
Police say at least three homes were destroyed, and about 20 others were damaged in some way.
Gerardo Baigelt, a 13-year resident of Horseshoe Bend, tried to salvage what he could from his lakefront home after the storm literally ripped it apart.
"I was looking outside, and all of a sudden, I see the house shake," he said. "I stepped back and said - I don't want to say what I said."
Strong winds tore away his home's roof and garage and blew them into the woods across the street.
The house is currently uninhabitable, so his next-door neighbors have agreed to let him stay with them temporarily.
Some of his neighbors were much luckier to have sustained less damage.
"I think we ought to be lucky our house is still here," Thomas Ramstack said.
He and his wife, Kathy, live a few blocks from Baigelt, but their home received almost no damage despite the wreckage now surrounding it.
"Our 30-foot fifth-wheeler [camper] is on its side," Kathy said. "Our big storage building is off the foundation. Four trees are down, big trees."
They have put their cleanup on hold for now. Like many of their neighbors, they are waiting for their insurance adjuster to arrive sometime soon.
"This is the first time we've had to ever apply for insurance coverage," Kathy said. "Hopefully, they'll take care of us."
The report from a trained storm spotter with the National Weather Service also reported a number of trees in the area were down. Several trees were also knocked down in the Evening Shade area.
Citing reports from law officers, the National Weather Service reported that a tornado hit Wednesday afternoon near Scotland, then moved northeastward near the county seat of Clinton.
Strong winds damaged a number of houses in Horseshoe Bend Wednesday afternoon according to the National Weather Service. The wind blew off the siding and caused roof damage. One building in the city is partially collapsed. Many trees are reported down in the area blocking roads.
The strong winds also knocked down trees in Evening Shade blocking several roads. Avoid traveling through the night in theses areas if you can until the damage is cleaned up.
The National Weather Service reports a tornado touched down near Clinton, Arkansas knocking down trees along Scotland - Formosa Road. A tree was also blocking Highway 95 in Van Buren County. A house was destroyed and 18 wheeler flipped over in Botkinburg in Van Buren County.
Four people suffered minor injuries in Van Buren County, where 30 homes were damaged.
The National Weather Service is surveying areas Thursday to determine whether tornadoes or strong winds caused damage.
Region 8 News has a crew headed to Horseshoe Bend to report on the damage. We will have the updates on the damage as it becomes available.

Back in February, the ACLU filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for a Department of Homeland Security report on laptop searches at U.S. borders. The DHS had posted the executive summary of the report on its website, but nothing else. The ACLU is still waiting for the complete report. The executive summary basically says that upholding the Fourth Amendment, protecting against unreasonable search and seizure, is a pain in the ass and that reasonable suspicion or warrants are too much to ask in the case of seizing people's electronic devices at our borders.
As someone who has had (unfortunately) extensive experience with the TSA, the DHS, and customs officials while traveling for both work and pleasure, I will share those experiences here along with some advice to protect your information.

And here begins our story. I have flown a lot in my lifetime. Between personal and professional trips, I average one or two dozen trips a year. About three years ago, I was flying from the Rochester NY airport to Grand Rapids, Michigan – going from my step-son's graduation to my grandmother's funeral. I was stopped by the TSA screeners for having "brass knuckles" in my purse — in reality a 1 1/2″ cat face cheap metal keychain that did not resemble brass knuckles in the slightest. I was pulled aside, my wallet was taken, and my bags thoroughly searched within my view. I got mouthy…probably not my best choice, but I was pissed. This was some over-zealous, bored Rochester TSA flunkie messing with me for no legitimate reason. I was live-Tweeting it as it was happening. I was asked to stop. I said no. I was asked to hand over my phone. I said no. I was asked to hand over my laptop. I said no. Eventually they let me go, confiscating the keychain that had made it through security in a couple dozen other airports, and with a warning that I was now on "THE LIST." I let fly a few F-bombs and boarded my plane for my grandmother's funeral shaking from adrenaline and anger. I wrote complaint letters to the Rochester Airport administration and to the TSA and got no reply from either (surprise, surprise).
Know Your Rights
So what did I do? I did my research like a good little librarian. I figured out what the TSA could and could not do within the U.S., and since I travel internationally I looked into what was legal at border crossings, particularly at airports. Here are documents I suggest everyone read if you travel within the U.S. or internationally. Know your rights.
Cheat Sheet of TSA Screenings and Your Rights (PDF) – This document gives good advice of what to do, what not to do, what to ask, and what your rights are.
ACLU's Know Your Rights When Traveling – This covers everything: interviews, body scanners, pat-downs, searches of bags and electronics, confiscation of items, medication, children, etc.
Defending Privacy at the U.S. Border: A Guide for Travelers Carrying Digital Devices – Written for the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), this is a good guide whether you're traveling internationally or just within the states…or if you just plain want to know how to secure the data on your devices. This covers electronics searches at the border but also provides instructions on backing up your data, minimizing the data you carry, encrypting your data, and specific tips for different types of devices. I do all of these things and more…as I'm more than a bit paranoid now.
What Can They Do to My Electronic Devices?
U.S. Customs and Border Protection say that they can not only search but also confiscate your electronic devices at the border–laptops, phones, cameras, you name it. And they can do it all without any reasonable suspicion of wrongdoing or warrants. The ACLU, EFF, and other organizations are fighting this – but it's a slow process. What you can, and should do, if you are asked to hand over your electronics is outlined in this document–but at the bare minimum ask to see the supervisor, get a receipt for your device, and have the search conducted in front of the supervisor. What tends to happen, especially to people on THE LIST, is that they take your electronics out of the room, dump a copy onto their own hard drives, and then give them back to you. They just copied all your data–files, browsing history, contact lists, everything–and you had no ability to stop it. I call bullshit, and thankfully so does the ACLU. This is why many people who know they are on THE LIST no longer carry their own devices, instead handing them off to trusted travel companions or mailing them from place to place.
So Then What Happened Now That Sarah Was On THE LIST?
After the Rochester incident I was pulled out of line for "special screening" literally every time I flew, and seven times I was taken into back rooms for additional questioning and searches. I never agree to go through the full body scanner–not enough science or privacy protection behind those to make me feel safe. I always demand the manual pat-down, which thrills them to no end I'm sure. I feel badly for them sometimes–what a crap job to have to stick your hands down people's pants and feel up their legs and armpits. Almost as unpleasant for them as it is for me, but I always make them do it in a public area and I always loudly proclaim why I won't go through the scanner–hoping to educate more people about the lack of privacy and safety testing on some of the devices.
No one ever tried a full body search on me – which is a good thing because if they'd tried to make me strip and do a cavity search at least two people would have emerged from that room bloodied and needing medical attention (and I probably would have been arrested).
So to reiterate–we're talking me being pulled out of line every time I flew anywhere, about 30-40 times in a row. I tried dressing differently (more conservatively, more casually, more dressy), being quiet, being loud, being polite, being indifferent,…it didn't matter. Don't tell me there isn't facial recognition software being used in TSA screening lines, because there is. There's no other way to explain my being pulled out every time.
Fortunately, I came prepared. I won't go over everything I did to protect my data (a girl's gotta have some secrets), but here are some of the things I did. I had partitioned and encrypted my laptop up the yin yang. There was one partition that booted up to public stuff–my personal email account that I use for nothing serious or secret, no work-related stuff, boring web browser history, etc. Then there was my "real" laptop–a partition that only booted up with a secondary password and which would shut down on a deadman switch unless I re-entered a password every 20 minutes. I also installed Paranoid Android on my phone (one of many reasons to have an Android device instead of an iPhone). I have since performed similar security measures with my Android tablet, which I now travel with instead of a laptop. If anybody wants to know the extensive security measures I take with my data, let me know. I'm sure I still have gaps, but am happy to share what I do know with others. Email or DM me and I'll help.
Taking a cue from Jacob Appelbaum (a personal hero of mine who I knew before he became all famous and hunted by the feds), I also started carrying around a single USB stick with the text of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights on it and nothing else. Whenever the TSA or customs officials would ask me for my electronic devices, I'd give them that. The funny thing is they wouldn't ask what was on it–just walk away with it and come back, hand it to me, and make some snarky comment about socialists, hippies, communists, or liberals. And I would sweetly smile for an uncomfortably long time until they looked away. That is always my favorite part. Sarah's "gotcha" smile.
Every time they demanded to see my laptop or my phone, I said no. I said they had no reasonable suspicion of wrongdoing and therefore would be violating the Fourth Amendment were they to seize my belongings. I wrote down the names and ranks of everyone I dealt with in each encounter. I live-Tweeted if I could get a connection where they had me stashed. I always asked for a supervisor to be present, I asked why I had been pulled aside (never got an answer), and I told them they could not detain me and make me miss my flight or I would be entitled to restitution and they didn't want to explain that to their bosses, now did they? I was usually polite, though in a couple of cases I admit to getting so frustrated that some name-calling did occur. When one agent tried to swipe my phone from my pocket while I was mid-sneeze, I grabbed his wrist in a death grip and said "Over my dead body, motherfucker." The look on that guy's face was priceless–but also one of the scariest moments in my life when I thought "Oh, I'm gonna end up in Gitmo, aren't I?"
On the lighter side of things, I also bought some Fourth Amendment Wear (I got the bra and panty combo) which displays the text of the 4th Amendment in metallic ink over your private bits so if you are going through the scanner it shows up in the scan (I never go through the scan, but it's still funny).
What About International Travel?
Twice crossing the U.S. border — once coming in from Montreal and once coming in from Amsterdam — I was pulled aside, searched, and again they tried to seize my electronics. I said they were perfectly entitled to rip them out of my hands, but that it was unreasonable search and seizure, I would take them to court, and they really didn't want that. The most fun time was in Montreal when I was asked what I'd been doing in Montreal I said I'd spoken at a librarian conference and was headed straight to another one in Michigan. The guy looked me up and down (and granted I was dressed rather punky–combat boots, zipper-laden skinny jeans, fishnet shirt) and said "Yeah right–come with me." This was when I most lost my temper. I produced my ALA membership card, my staff ID card for my library, and I still had my frigging conference badge on. And yet that wasn't enough. That was the time I got the mouthiest and was likely most at risk for some serious blowback for not cooperating. When I finally convinced them that I was a librarian (stereotype much?) they let me go. But in both of these cases, I gave them the USB drive but refused to hand over anything else…and they didn't force the issue. Perhaps I was lucky. Perhaps knowing my rights made me a less easy target for them. I honestly don't know.
Aaaaaand The White House
The most fascinating thing about all of this was in January 2012 I was asked to go to the White House to live-Tweet the State of the Union address. This was *awesome* but I was convinced I wouldn't pass the background check because I was on THE LIST. But I passed. And when I left to fly to DC a couple days later, miraculously I was not pulled out of line. Not on the way back either. Or any of the times I've flown since then (except the time in Montreal, which I am convinced was based on how I looked, not who I was). So…apparently if you get cleared to go to the White House, you magically get to be off of THE LIST, or so I assume. Only time will tell.
My Advice
You could say I'm paranoid. You could say the surveillance state is real and I should just accept it. You could say nothing I do is that interesting or important to get me in trouble so why do all of this (but you don't really know me or what I do, do you?). But this is real, people. Your data is being mined, and when you're traveling with data you're at serious risk. There's no reason to make it easier for law enforcement to screw you over and violate your rights.
Read the documents I linked to. Know the risks, and know your rights. The risk of search and seizure of your data is real. You know Facebook already owns your ass, as does Amazon and Google and all the other mega-corps who we sadly willingly give our data to. But you don't have to hand that stuff over to the government just because you're traveling. Minimize the data you carry with you. Get yourself a USB drive with the Constitution and the Bill of Rights on it. And, alas, try to be more calm and polite than I ended up being during a few of my altercations. I do not respond well to arbitrary authority, and I'm sure that ended up prolonging my stay in a few airports. Be smarter than I was. Be firm, but polite. But overall–be educated. Know that the TSA and DHS can pwn you and your data if they so choose. And do you damndest to prevent them from doing it.
Power to the people.

text: Student Profiles Tony Thrower '09 Tony Thrower '09 Hometown: Little Rock, Arkansas Major: Economics; Minor: Theater Why did you choose to come to Bowdoin? Initially when I thought about college I approached my decision as: This is my last opportunity to go all out, explore new ventures, and still have some sort of support system before entering the "real world." I understood that in the real world everything won't go your way, conditions of all sorts will be challenging, and support won't always be easily accessible. So with that in mind I decided to get out of my comfort zone for "the best four years of your life" by coming to Brunswick, Maine (the total opposite of Little Rock, Arkansas). I came to a liberal arts college because I wanted an environment that had unlimited opportunities to indulge in campus activities and I feel like that "unlimited" part can only be found at a small college. Bowdoin is special because the faculty and staff are tremendous — they are extremely supportive and approachable. I've had professors/coaches take me to get a haircut and even let me take a nap in their office when I just needed a moment to rest. Tony and the cast of An Enemy of the People, directed by Professor Davis Robinson (Tony's first play at Bowdoin, spring 2007). Why did you choose your major? I chose to major in economics because I wanted to try something new. I didn't have economics at my high school, I knew I liked math, and I figured this would be an opportunity to fuse my passion for math with my curiosity about the domestic economy. I paired my major with a minor in theater because I have never done anything like acting before. I had always been a class clown and my friends would encourage me to try it — and with Bowdoin's inviting culture, I was welcomed into the community of acting with open arms. I went from taking an acting class to doing an advanced independent study, this semester, for the production of TopDog/UnderDog by Suzan-Lori Parks along with Cait Hylan '09 (student director) and Jamil Sylvester-John '09 (costar). What has been a course you especially enjoyed at Bowdoin? I am currently taking Leaders and Leadership with Angus King, former governor of Maine. His class is so enjoyable because he fuses the academic curriculum with all of his personal experiences, which are humorous, relevant, informative, and inspiring. We discuss the breaking news of the current economy, the policy of the current presidential administration, and most, importantly, history. The first thing we learned is "you can only see forward, as far as you can see backwards." Everything that we learn is directly applicable to our own ability to lead and will be an integral to our professional development. What professor or professors have especially inspired you during your time at Bowdoin? Angus King, whom I mentioned, has been a phenomenal inspiration and influence of mine. However, one professor who has had a profound impact on my life is Davis Robinson, my academic advisor and Acting I professor (along with other courses). The thing about Davis that inspires me is his diversity, not of ethnicity but of thought. You can talk to Davis about theater, investment banking, or even politics and I guarantee that you will learn something. He is a man who got to where he is by picking his career endeavors serendipitously. This has inspired me directly because now I never look past a current opportunity because it doesn't fit into my "future plans." The worst thing I could do is corner myself into one thing because I "think" it's what I want do, and 20 years later regret I never tried anything. Davis has studied theater internationally, been a part of the circus, and written literature, which we studied in class. How many people go to the circus and see a guy juggling and think: "He could be a professor at a prestigious liberal arts college?" He is a living testament that "following your heart" works. Tony throwing the weight for the Bowdoin Track and Field team. What extracurricular or work experiences have you had at Bowdoin? Since being at Bowdoin I have tried a little bit of everything. These extracurricular activities include the varsity football team, varsity track and field team (I participate in the weight throw and hammer throw), sophomore class vice president, Bowdoin Student Government vice president of student affairs, Big Brother/Big Sister (known as Bears and Cubs), the Student Activities Funding Committee (SAFC — we allocate nearly $200,000), Poeting, Rapping (hip-hop artist) and opening for artists Talib Kweli and Wale, and even working as a head proctor for the Office of Residential Life (meaning I live with first-years and help them transition to the college lifestyle). Did you study abroad during your time at Bowdoin? I decided not to study abroad because I fell in love with Bowdoin's atmosphere and didn't want to miss it for one semester; that is my personal honest behind "closed-doors" answer. I have friends who did study abroad, who absolutely loved it, but I don't regret my decision one bit. What have you done during your summers? While it's important to "follow your heart" when deciding upon careers, one of the most strategic things one can do is intern every summer to explore possible career paths. Since the summer before entering Bowdoin I have interned at JP Fitness (as a personal trainer), Regions Financial (as a teller and financial service representative), Goldman Sachs (private wealth management division intern), and Stephen's Inc. (as an investment research intern). Each experience was unique and has played an integral role in my personal development, especially my leadership and organizational skill sets. "The Daisy Dough Boys," aka Tony and friend Devon, biking across campus. What is your best Bowdoin memory? My favorite Bowdoin memory has to be when my friend, Devon, and I were up late at night (approximately 3 a.m.) working on midterm papers and decided to purchase $50 girl bikes...not women's bikes but "girl" bikes. They were probably knee high and we had the full package: handle bar tassels, a basket, "I love my bike" bell, and glass-covered motorcycle helmets! The campus got a kick out of it; people knew us as the Daisy Dough Boys because we would carry cookies from the dining hall in the baskets and pass them out or chuck them at people who needed a "smile" — we became icons. It was definitely one of those "only in college" moments! What are your plans for after graduation? After graduation I will be working at PriceWaterhouseCoopers accounting firm in Los Angeles, California. As part of my offer, I will be going to the USC Leventhal School of Accounting (#4 in the nation), as a full-time student starting this June, to get my master's in accounting (MAcc) and PWC is paying for it entirely. Afterwards I will work for them for three years. I decided to take this offer because I have never tried accounting before and I think this will be a chance to explore another career path, challenge myself, and adapt to a new environment. I love to travel and have never been to California before, so this should be an interesting learning experience...similarly, I had never been to Maine before Bowdoin. Tony as the opening act for the Talib Kweli/Naughty By Nature Ivies concert, spring 2008. What advice would you give to a prospective student or first-year about the Bowdoin experience? Come with an open mind, try the things that you never heard of, and remember that we are privileged (only approximately 500 of 6,000 applicants matriculate each year, which is easy to forget once you are here). People say this all the time and as a proctor I see the same thing every year — a student comes in and says "yeah whatever, I know what I want to do, so I'm going to major in ____." Concurrently, by sophomore year they realize they don't want to do ____ or be a ____ and wish they had explored more areas as a freshman when you don't have to worry about meeting major/minor requirements. This is your last time to make mistakes with limited consequences, so make mistakes learn from them, and enjoy the food! What quirky or fun thing do you wish you knew before you came to Bowdoin? I wish I had known they were going to be getting a new Fitness, Health and Wellness Center this fall. I would have waited a year to enroll!

Solving drainage issues now part of Derry subdivision plan
By ADAM SWIFT
Union Leader Correspondent
— The subdivision of a 4.7-acre parcel on Lane Road looked like a cut-and-dried issue until one of the abutters brought up a drainage issue.
The current owner of the property at 23 Lane Road, Richard Murdock, is looking to separate his parcel into two buildable lots, both of which meet town acreage and frontage regulations.
"This particular lot of record used to be two lots," said Tim Peloquin of Promised Land Survey, representing Murdock. "We saw this as a relatively straightforward until we got a call from (code enforcement officer Bob) Mackey alerting me to a problem with an abutter."
Peloquin said as soon as he was made aware of the drainage issue onto the property at 19 Lane Road, he met with the abutters and began the process of addressing the issue.
Patricia Norton, whose mother owns the home at 19 Lane Road, said she and her mother are not opposed to the subdivision, but would like to see the drainage issue addressed before the plans move forward.
Norton said the person who formerly owned 23 Lane Road did some channeling work on his property to address issues he was having with excessive water. Unfortunately, Norton said, that channeling increased the water flow onto her mother's property.
Before the owner of 23 Lane Road could fully address the drainage issue, he died.
With the subdivision, Norton said the concern is that there will be even greater drainage onto her mother's property.
"We want (the water) to be diminished as much as it can and back to the way it was," said Norton.
She said she has spoken to Peloquin and expects she will be working with the engineer to address the problem.
Peloquin said he is prepared to present some solutions and bring them before the Planning Board at its Aug. 21 meeting.
He said those solutions will likely cause the 23 Lane Road property to be slightly damper and might lead to the new building on the property being constructed farther back from the road.
Planning Board member Jim MacEachern praised Norton and Peloquin for working together to solve the issue.

Q: My sister just went through chemotherapy, and although it seemed to beat her cancer, the treatment almost killed her. Will there ever be a better way to fight cancer?
Q: My sister just went through chemotherapy, and although it seemed to beat her cancer, the treatment almost killed her. Will there ever be a better way to fight cancer?
— Katie J., Gainesville
A: Chemotherapy is increasingly refined, and yet it still puts every patient through rough times. The good news is that often it's extremely effective. Stage 1 breast cancer, for example, now has a five-year survival rate of almost 90 percent. But a new wave of treatments, called molecular targeted therapy, are around the corner, and for certain cancers some are here already. What they do, or try to do, is destroy only cancerous cells without harming any surrounding, healthy tissue.
Herceptin — a monoclonal antibody used to fight HER-2-positive breast cancer — has been used for many years and is very effective (it cuts recurrence of breast cancer in half, compared with use of chemo alone), but it's useful only against 20 percent of breast cancers. Imatinib, another monoclonal antibody, works on certain types of leukemia by shutting down pathways that cancer cells rely on to function. The latest effective targeted therapy, ibrutinib, is an oral "smart bomb" that works against chronic lymphocytic leukemia and mantle cell lymphoma by blocking a protein (kinase) that cancer cells need to thrive. Every year, there are more-sophisticated, individualized treatments available, and hopefully cancer treatment won't always be so tough to go through.
But we're not just learning how to treat cancers more effectively. Using medications like aspirin, nutrients like DHA omega-3 fatty acid, foods like broccoli and vaccines like the one against HPV, we're learning to prevent some cancers! Glad your sister's OK.

Help & Advice
Buying guides
Drill buying guide
A power drill is an essential home improvement tool. They can bore holes, loosen or tighten screws and even chisel away materials. Combine this with the ability to use on a variety of materials, and you'll find that the right drill allows you to easily undertake multiple DIY tasks.
Our handy guide will explain everything you need to know about drills and will help you decide on the best one for you.
Before you begin
What will you be using the drill for?
Do you need a drill for everyday household tasks like putting up shelves or hanging pictures? Or will it be used as part of a bigger renovation, and need to drill larger holes through bricks or masonry? Most drills have multiple functions, so even if you need a tool that could be used for both scenarios, we have one that could suit you – but knowing a bit about your plans will help narrow down the search.
Another consideration is the length of a particular task. The size and weight of a drill can affect how long you can spend working on your project – if the tool is heavy and bulky you'll quickly tire of holding it. Make sure you pick a drill that is comfortable for you to handle and you'll be able to keep working for longer.
Will you need to move freely?
Some of our drill options will need to be plugged into the mains, and can therefore limit your movement. If you are going to use your drill all over your house, and even outside, you may wish to consider another option for your convenience.

Colorado controlled a majority of the possession, and seemed to have taken the lead towards the end of the game, but Nathan Braaten's goal was called off-side.
The Rapids U-16s have yet to be scored on this year. The tie brings their record 3-0-2 as they also remain undefeated in the Frontier Division of the Central Conference.
They next face the Texas Rush on Oct. 20 at Dick's Sporting Goods Park.

Colorado Rapids lineup – Tucker Schneider, Elias Helbig (William Herzl 60'), Ernesto Rangel (Elijah Mwenebitu 51'), Christopher Reichmann, Blake Moncur, Nicholas Porter (Greer Solarte 68'), Anthony Rosales (JT Grover 55'), Samuel Raben, Kyle Ericson, Nathan Braaten, Miles Chow

LRSC basketball will enrtain yet another quartet of home games this weekend at the Devils Lake Sports Center with games scheduled to be played Saturday and Sunday evening.
The men, who sustained their first loss of the season against No. 8 Iowa Western last Friday, have rebounded nicely with two consecutive wins since that game, and they'll be hoping to make it four after this weekend.
The Lady Royals, who have yet to lose a game this year, also expect to come out the other side of this weekend still undefeated as they prepare to take on Jamestown JV and Fort Berthold, teams that LRSC has already handily beaten this season.
It should be an entertaining weekend for Lake Region basketball fans as both teams attempt to continue the strong starts they've enjoyed so far in 2013-14.
LRSC men's head coach Joe Kittell believes his team is ready to take the next step in their season, again alluding to "the process" that his players are expected to adjust to.
According to Kittell, so far, so good, but he knows that the team's upcoming schedule will only become more challenging.
"I think we're right on pace," Kittell said. "This weekend will be a good test for us, two home games, and we'll do what we have to do to survive.
"We're moving into phase-two of our season. The games start getting harder, and then we move into the conference season, and the games start to matter just a little bit more. So, we're getting close to that second stage, but right now, we're gonna try and finish off stage one as well as we can."
The Royals will take on Minot Air Force Base at 7 p.m. Saturday night at the Sports Center, and they'll back that up with another game the following evening, another home tilt against Cankdeska Cikana Community College.
Cankdeska Cikana is currently riding a three-game winning streak and can seemingly score with any team. They've scored more than 100 points in a majority of their contests this season.
The LRSC men have one injury concern in the form of freshman post Malik Durant-Haines, who sustained a sprained ankle in practice this week. Durant-Haines is expected to miss out on this weekend's games, but according to Kittell, should be back at practice on Monday. Durant-Haines is currently averaging 10.2 points per game along with averages of 5.3 rebounds and 1.5 blocks.
On the women's side, the Lady Royals know that they have a great opportunity to come out the other end 8-0. They play Jamestown JV and Fort Berthold, teams that LRSC has already defeated this season by a combined 51 points.
Head coach Duane Schwab knows that he'll have the more talented team for this weekend's action, but he knows that hard work will be required as well if they're to sweep their games.
"If we play like we're capable of, we'll still be undefeated," Schwab said. "In every game, we have to improve in one facet. I think we've started OK, and it's gonna get tougher for us."
Though the Lady Royals haven't lost yet this season, that isn't to say that the team has coasted in each of their games.
Last weekend, against Northern State JV on Nov. 8, LRSC found themselves down by 11 with fewer than eight minutes to play. The Lady Royals rallied back in that game to win by 11, 68-57, which goes to show how good the team can be when firing on all cylinders, but the fact that they were down by so many is just as indicative of LRSC's need to stay focused throughout an entire 40 minute game, not just for the last eight.
The team's 68 point output in that game was their lowest of the season so far, and Schwab knows that there will always be nights when shots don't fall for a team. However, according to him, good defending can always make up for a lack in offensive production.
"Defense is what wins games," Schwab said. "There are nights that you're not going to be good offensively, but if you're hustling on defense and making things happen, you can make up for that."

Semi-suckalicious semiconductor sales
Numbers are bad, but they've been a lot worse
Chip sales took it on the chin in November, according to a new report by the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA), with sales dipping 9.9 per cent worldwide when compared to November of 2007.
The news is worse if you're in the Europe or the US - European sales were down 13.9 percent while the US absorbed a hefty 19.5 per cent blow.
Japan and the Asia/Pacific region did noticeably better, with drops of 7.3 and 6.2 per cent, respectively.
SIA president George Scalise exhibited an impressive grasp of the obvious when he issued a statement saying that "The worldwide economic crisis is having an impact on demand for semiconductors." Scalise then daubed a bit of lipstick on that fiscal piggy by adding, "but to a lesser degree than some other major industry sectors."
True enough - when other industries are coughing up blood, mere arterial bleeding can be seen as not so bad.
But the chip-market news is not all gloom and doom - take the book-to-bill ratio, for example. This metric is an indicator of the market's stability - the higher the number, the more chips are being ordered (book) in relation to those having been shipped and invoiced (bill). A ratio of above 1.0 indicates growth; below 1.0 indicates shrinkage.
According to the Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International (SEMI), the North American semiconductor book-to-bill ratio is improving. As recently as September it was a craptastic 0.70. However, it moved up to 0.96 in October, and in November it was exactly flat: 1.0.
While no-growth flatness is no reason to put a down payment on that yacht you've been eyeing, it does mean that either the market is stabilizing or that it's pausing before it slides fully into the dumpster. Your call.
Absolute numbers matter, as well - of course. For example, according to SEMI, the North American semiconductor industry billed for $1,159.8m worth of chip equipment in June 2008, a figure that fell to $807.3m in November's preliminary figures.
Two sides of the same coin, eh? The market appears to be stabilizing - good - but at a lower level than a few months ago - bad.
Sure, times are tough - but they've been tougher
In this morass of uncertainty, however, there's one thing that's indisputable: We've been through this before, and it was worse for the semiconductor industry last time. In mid-2001, during the depths of the carnage caused by the bursting of the dot-com bubble, the worldwide semiconductor industry saw a year-on-year drop of over 40 per cent.
Compared to that death spiral, the 9.9 per cent drop outlined in the SIA report is a mere bout of the flu. We may be living through the financial equivalent of Drillbit Taylor, but for the semiconductor industry, 2001 was a full-on Battlefield Earth.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney is airing campaign ads in Wisconsin, making a play to win the state last carried by a Republican in 1984.
Romney hopes the ads, blaming Barack Obama for the federal deficit, can give him an edge in the state which is home to his running mate Paul Ryan and where recent polls have shown him even with the Democrat incumbent.
The former Massachusetts governor is also hoping to force Obama to defend Wisconsin by spending additional campaign money there. Obama carried Wisconsin by 14 percentage points in 2008 and has not aired ads there.
Independent groups backing Romney and Obama are running ads in the state.
Romney, a native of Michigan, also hopes to compete there, which Democratic presidential candidates have carried since 1988.
