Microsoft announced today that it hasn't backed down from its contentious decision to enable Do Not Track by default in Internet Explorer 10. In a blog post from Chief Privacy Officer Brendon Lynch, the company said that Windows 8 will inform users of the Do Not Track preference during the first run experience. Customers using the Express (default) settings will have Do Not Track turned on, and those using the Custom settings option will have the ability to turn it off.
"Do Not Track" is a Web privacy scheme that tells online advertisers not to collect or use information specific to a user's Web requests and responses. Advertisers can still show advertisements, but they're not allowed to, for example, record that a user browsed several hotel websites to then show ads for other hotels.
The scheme uses an HTTP header sent with every request to every Web server to indicate the user's preference. The Do Not Track header, named "DNT," can either have the value 1, indicating that the user does not wish to be tracked, or 0, meaning that tracking is acceptable. The DNT header can also be missing entirely, which leaves the decision up to the advertiser.
The fundamental problem faced by Do Not Track (or any other similar privacy mechanism) is that sending a header doesn't do anything in and of itself. Advertisers need to both look for the header and honor it if it shows that the user does not want to be tracked. This is problematic, because it's not actually in advertisers' interest to not track users. Tracking Web users enables advertisers to show ads that are more relevant to the user, and hence more likely to be clicked on.
Nonetheless, advertisers were tentatively getting on board with the Do Not Track scheme, likely motivated by their fear of something worse. Governments around the world are taking a closer look at the issue of Web privacy, and voluntary support for a privacy scheme could prevent the imposition of more onerous government mandates. While Do Not Track may not be ideal from an advertiser standpoint, it certainly beats something more drastic, such as a government ban on such tracking activities.
Microsoft's June announcement threatened this tentative agreement between privacy advocates and advertisers. The company said that its browser would not only support the Do Not Track header, but that, by default, it would opt out of tracking. Internet Explorer is still the most widely used browser on the Internet. Internet Explorer 10 is likely to see significant adoption once it is released. In turn, this means that a significant number of Web users are likely to be sending the DNT header and opting out of tracking by advertisers.
Unsurprisingly, advertisers had a fit. While they were willing to give their tentative support to Do Not Track, they were only willing to do so on the basis that it was something that users had to explicitly enable. The advertisers know that most users don't bother to change the default behavior of their systems, and so were unlikely to bother enabling Do Not Track. Only a particularly privacy-conscious minority of users would opt out of tracking, and these privacy conscious customers are likely to be the kind of Web users who never click on advertisements anyway.
An explicitly enabled Do Not Track was therefore a pretty safe thing to support. An implicitly enabled Do Not Track, however, ran the risk of large-scale opting out of targeted advertising, and subsequently significant damage to the advertisers' businesses.
Within days, the group creating the Do Not Track specification released an update saying that the Do Not Track header only counted when it was explicitly chosen by the user. Browsers that sent the header by default wouldn't be compliant with the specification. This in turn would give the advertisers some latitude to ignore its stipulations. Specifically, advertisers argue that, in the face of such non-compliant implementations, they can ignore the header entirely.
Microsoft, however, argues that software should be private by default, saying that its decision "put[s] people first," and that the textual description during the Windows 8 setup process provides adequate information to let users know what's going on, and the ability to customize the setup gives users enough control. It may be a default, but it's an informed default that the user has explicitly agreed to.
Regulators have weighed in on the subject, and Microsoft's stance has some backing. In late June, the European Commission's director-general for Information Society and Media, Robert Madelin, wrote to the World Wide Web Consortium's Tracking Protection Working Group (the group of industry experts working on the Do Not Track specification) saying that in the European Commission's view, browser-specified defaults do not undermine consumer choice and should not be penalized by the specification. In the EC's view, such behavior could distort the marketplace.
Moreover, Madelin wrote that the Do Not Track specification should expect browsers to both inform users of the Do Not Track option, and to opt out of tracking by default.
The EC's stance echoed that of the Congressional Privacy Caucus. Co-chairs Edward Markey (D-MA) and Joe Barton (R-TX) wrote that "browsers that default to Do Not Track provide consumers with better control and choice with respect to their personal information." Microsoft's policy was specifically endorsed, with the congressmen asking W3C "to make the protection of consumer privacy a priority and support Microsoft's announcement by endorsing a default Do Not Track setting."
FTC Commissioner J. Thomas Rosch, meanwhile, took the contrary view, saying in a letter to W3C that "Microsoft's default [Do Not Track] setting means that Microsoft, not consumers, will be exercising choice as to what signal the browser will send."
Second-guessing the DNT header sent by browsers is fraught with difficulties. A browser could market itself as being private by default, and even enumerate in its feature list that it sends the DNT header, opting out of tracking, by default. The mere decision by a user to install this browser would be a positive step taken toward opting out of tracking. Such a thing is hardly inconceivable; there are already browsers that vaunt their privacy as their unique selling proposition.
It would be absurd for a tracking advertiser to ignore this DNT header, as it was plainly an accurate expression of user intent. However, that is what advertisers are wanting to do.
While W3C has agreed that browsers shouldn't set a default, the group has reached an impasse when it comes to saying how such a default should be handled. Yahoo has suggested that perhaps servers could respond to requests from browsers that set a default with a message informing users that their Do Not Track preference was being ignored because they might not have intended it—but this too is problematic. Servers cannot distinguish between, for example, users who accepted Internet Explorer's defaults, and those who customized their options but still opted out of tracking. They would all have their preference ignored. Continued use of the browser in spite of such a warning could also be argued to be an explicit decision to opt out.
The group intends to meet again on Wednesday. The default issue isn't on the agenda, but with Microsoft's reiteration of its plans to enable Do Not Track in Internet Explorer 10, it would be no surprise if the matter received further consideration.
If W3C stays the course, and advertisers continue to insist that Internet Explorer 10's default setting justifies ignoring the header entirely, then there's a very real prospect that the Do Not Track header will be both widely used, and widely ignored. In this situation, it would be difficult to describe it as anything other than a failure.
Microsoft's action may cause W3C to reassess its position. It might just as well derail the entire Do Not Track effort, or at least cause the advertisers to drop their already tentative support. That in turn could be the stimulus legislators need to take action of their own. Given the murmurings of legislators on both sides of the Atlantic, that could turn out to be good for privacy advocates, but it may be disastrous for advertisers.

What makes a novel "good"? Tom Wolfe once gave this answer:
"To me, it's a novel that pulls you inside the central nervous system of the characters … and makes you feel in your bones their motivations as affected by the society of which they are a part. It is folly to believe that you can bring the psychology of an individual to light without putting him very firmly in a social setting."
Tom Wolfe, author of The Bonfire of the Vanities and other novels, in an interview with George Plimpton in Writers at Work: The Paris Review Interviews: Ninth Series (Viking 1992). Edited by George Plimpton. Introduction by William Styron. Reprinted from the Spring 1991 issue of the Paris Review.

Serving the entire Cabell County area in West Virginia
Although seeing termites, ants, rodents (such as mice or rats), or even bedbugs can be horrifying in itself, there are a few unpleasant realities that make pest control services in Huntington, WV essential when you're dealing with any type of infestation – no matter what the unwanted pest is.
For instance, did you know that failing to hire an exterminator to deal with pests can result in structural damage that can cost thousands of dollars to fix? Termites, a very common pest that many people across the country deal with, feed on cellulose-based plant materials, like the wood structure your house is built on. They'll silently eat away at the structure of your home, and if left unchecked, they'll cause very expensive structural damage to your home!
This is just one example of why it's so important to call a professional extermination team to deal with any pest issues you have prior to major (and expensive) damage is done to your home and property.
It's important to understand that pests are more prevalent than you may think. In 2015, Time Magazine wrote that the pest control industry in the United States provided services to over 10% of American homes. It also claimed that at least 2% of the homes in Huntington had reported evidence of rats present in the home. Cockroaches, ants, and termites are also all more common than you might think.
At ETAAC Pest Control, we understand the urgent need to treat your home if and when an infestation occurs. Our exterminators are qualified, certified, and experienced in removing all manner of pests from residential and commercial properties.
What The ETAAC Pest Control Exterminators Can Do For You
When you hire our pest control services, our team of professionals always use tried and trusted approaches to remove the threat permanently in a manner that's safe for everyone and environmentally friendly.
It isn't enough to just locate the pests. It's essential to understand why (and how) they are coming into your home or business. For example, carpenter ants love wet wood and if you have wet wood present in your home it's a major way to attract these pests into your home.
In the case of something bigger, like rodents, we determine the different ways they get in and devise a highly effective strategy to get them out and keep them out for good. Here are a few of the many pests we can help remove from your property:
- Termites – Termites feed on dead plants and trees. This means they'll feed on the wood structure of your home, and you'll often discover them after they've already done significant damage. These are one of the most important pests to get rid of the moment you find them.
- Ants – One of the biggest problems ants present is contaminating your food. These pests carry bacteria on their bodies, which can spread to your food if they're crawling around in your cupboard or pantry. Some ants also do damage by chewing tunnels through the wood beams in your home.
- Rodents – Rodents (both rats and mice) can cause major health problems. They can carry nasty diseases and contaminate your food and general surroundings with their waste. Plus, if cornered and threatened, rodents will attack and can cause nasty cuts from their bites.
- Bedbugs – Bedbugs multiply quickly, and when left unchecked you can have an infestation of well over 10,000 of these creatures in just a few short months. Not only are these infestations difficult to get rid of, but they can also pose a threat to your family's health. If you have an infestation, it's best to give our exterminators a call.
- Bees & Wasps – A bee and wasp infestation and completely ruin outdoor activities and make yard work difficult. Plus, someone getting stung who has an allergy to these pests can be very dangerous. Depending on the type of bee or wasp, some may chew into your house and make their nest there.
- Cockroaches – Cockroaches are very nasty little creatures that are hard to eliminate. They can also contaminate your food with serious (and potentially life threatening diseases) like E. coli and Salmonella. They often hitch a ride on bags into your house or squeeze in through little cracks in your doors.
- Spiders – There are many ways for a spider to enter your home. Though most often these creatures don't pose any threat to you or your family, there are some species that have very venomous and dangerous bites. Generally, however, these pests don't pose a big threat and are nothing to worry about.
One of the most effective methods we use to keep pests out of your home is by addressing any minor damage to key entry points. When dealing with mice, for instance, we'll find all of the gaps they use to come in and seal them or lay traps.
We'll only embark on a full extermination when we're 100% sure that it will be successful and you will be completely rid of your infestation.
Hire Our Huntington Pest Control Team
While other pest control services in Huntington are content to do the bare minimum, everyone here at ETAAC enjoys going the extra mile for our customers. Once our extermination team has done their job, the next step is to set up an external barrier to ensure that you'll never have to deal with those pests again.

Justice Department Works On New Model To Prosecute Banks
Regulators and prosecutors have been long criticized for failing to hold financial institutions accountable for their mistakes or their outright wrongdoing. This could finally be set to change, if the Justice Department has its way.
In the past, authorities have avoided being too harsh on banks, fearing that financial institutions could suffer irreparable damage as a result of punishment, which would in turn jeopardize the broader economy.
[ Regrets? Some Senators Have a Few .]
As a result, the government has largely imposed ineffective fines and regulation, without holding banks accountable for their misdeeds. A few recent examples: HSBC last year avoided charges in a massive money laundering case out of concern that an indictment could put the bank out of business, according to the New York Times.
Prosecutors also considered filing criminal charges against an arm of Barclays, the paper reports, but ultimately did not because of the bank's vital importance to the financial system.
But now, the government is adopting a new strategy to rein in wrongdoing, and pushing for guilty pleas in financial fraud cases. As a result, lawyers for several big banks are now urging banks to fire employees suspected of wrongdoing in the hope of appeasing authorities, the New York Times says.
It's a long road ahead. So far, the government's new drive has had some underwhelming results to say the least. The Justice Department to date has extracted a guilty plea only out of the remote subsidiaries of big foreign banks – namely the Japanese subsidiaries of UBS and the Royal Bank of Scotland, who were accused of manipulating interest rates to boost profits. The Japanese subsidiaries pleaded guilty to felony wire fraud, and their parent companies suffered reputational damage, but not much else. Still, the Times notes that by going after a subsidiary, prosecutors "shield the parent company from losing its license, but still send a warning to the financial industry."
In the meantime, it will remain to be seen whether opposition by regulators, who are anxious of doing anything to banks that might harm the economy, as well as lobbying by Wall Street, will thwart the govenrment's efforts.
But it is clear that banks have been getting off too easily. Hopefully, by ramping up efforts to make financial institutions accountable for their executives' wrongdoing, there will be less fraud and less market manipulation, which ultimately can only be a good thing for the capital markets and the economy at large.

To everyone: Please don't give me suggestions, solutions or advice. I just need loving support.
- The days (weeks?) after guests leave our house after visiting
- The hours (days?) after any change in routine, including interacting with unfamiliar people either in or outside of the house
- The rest of the day (and usually, the following day) after I go out of the house before Daniel's nap (even if it doesn't interfere with naptime)
- The rest of the day (and sometimes, the day after) a long phone call or any length Skype conversation with family
And then I cry because I feel that way, and no one else seems to share my feelings or be going through what I'm going through.
And then I cry because I must be a horrible mother to not enjoy being a mother.
And then I cry because my kid deserves better than that.
There seems to be no solution to our predicament. (Though we're starting OT again in a couple of weeks, so maybe that will be the cure.) I've tried doing childcare exchange with another mother, and Daniel was destroyed for days after that child was in our house (so I've never even gotten to take my "turn" because I fear that change would have the same effect). I've tried going to playgroups, but they're at inconvenient times (for naps) and/or the children are older/bigger/more physically aggressive than Daniel, and he freaks out. I've tried having family come in from out of town to give me a break, but that never turns out to be as relaxing or as helpful as I had hoped.
When he was much younger (and all my friends were still on their maternity leaves from work) I had a couple of friends who would come over sometimes and just hold Daniel or take him out for a walk while he screamed so that I could take a nap, make a meal, take a shower. I don't get those breaks anymore, and his screams have only gotten louder as he's gotten older. Bonus: now, he can kick and hit me, too.
I feel extremely isolated. I don't know anyone else who is going through this. I don't personally know anyone who is a stay-at-home-mom to a baby who doesn't have extended family support close by. My family isn't geographically close (again, my choice) so they can't drop in to help out (not that it would be helpful, since routine changes mess everything up anyway). And every time I try to seek community outside our home (read: anyone other than Jaymz), there are consequences in the form of Daniel becoming totally dysregulated. It's as if I get punished every time I leave the house, so it's not worth it for me to try anymore.
In some ways Jaymz and I still have a newborn. And parents aren't meant to go through the newborn stage (of crying, need for a "womb-like environment," and need for all the time help regulating their nervous system) constantly for a year and a half (or more!). It's just too hard.
Not only is it hard to have him screaming most of the time, and still needing me so much, I have this guilt for hating it. I chose to become a mother. I knew that I was signing up for a sealed envelope. And wishing I could've chosen a different one makes me feel bad. Knowing that I feel that way and wanting Daniel never to know it (for fear he'll think it's his fault or that I wouldn't have chosen him) is a huge burden to bear.
Yeah, it'll probably get easier. But there's no guarantee, and furthermore, so far that hasn't been true! Up until this point, it's gotten harder and harder as time has gone on. Yes, he'll probably be a wonderful, delightful little kid, a sensitive, insightful teenager, and a perceptive, nurturing adult. But that's not happening right now. Right now, all I have are weeks full of Mondays.
And I'm ready for a break.

CNN's Drew Griffin investigates crimes at sea. He talks to a former cruise ship security guard who says women are targets, and he interviews a teen who says she was sexually assaulted on a ship.

Phil your response is interesting at best. When we expose rape is that a bad thing. You are a man. Obviously you aren't going to be the victim of a predator. What do you have against exposing predators that prey on females? Let's continue to expose all of this sort of behavior. The world is a bad place because good men fail to speak up. This is a good program to help give females the heads up. I for one am a female and I and my daughter have continuously been victimized by men. We are single by choice and attractive. Nothing is ever done to these men. I guess if we put men in jail that raped....we'd have more men in jail than out.
"When we expose rape is that a bad thing. You are a man. Obviously you aren't going to be the victim of a predator. What do you have against exposing predators that prey on females " you said? Based upon Penn St. events, Sandusky victims were not female. And it is as horrendous to males as it is to females.
"I for one am a female and I and my daughter have continuously been victimized by men. We are single by choice and attractive. Nothing is ever done to these men. I guess if we put men in jail that raped....we'd have more men in jail than out" you said.
As a fellow human you have my sympathy for what has victimized you. However, your comments tend to emphasize a hatred of men more so than a hatred of rape or injustice. I surely hope you will seek counseling to arrive at a more focused and balanced view. Rape is not a sexual crime because it is an physical assault driven by horrible mental instability. It has no gender but the victim is most often female. Nonetheless, a "Mayella (To Kill A Mockingbird) syndrome " makes it difficult to brand this crime without significant proof because it carries a horrendous penalty. To express caution on entry into any public vehicle regardless of size...to all potential victims...is a wiser choice I think.
What does CNN have against cruise ships all of a sudden? Oh, probably because Rockafeller is complaining about how much tax they pay, now the liberal controlled media is all over them. Ive been on 30+ cruises and never heard of any of these issues. Also they are talking about "Oh most cruise employees make less than $1000 a month". I would say, most cruise employees make close to $2000 a week. Room stewards get around $100/per room per week, and they have 25+ rooms to take care of.
Phil, I am glad you have been on 30 cruises without any negative experiences, I hope your luck holds out. I am a crew rape victim and former cruise ship officer. I was at the last congressional hearings concerning the lessons we learned from the grounding of the Costa Concordia. I watched Sen. Rockefeller question Ms. Duffy from CLIA, all the familiar sound bites were in her testimony...crime is low compared to the millions that cruise, the industry considers the safety of their passengers and crew their number one priority. Ms. Duffy even lied when asked if the industry had a whistle blower program. She said yes. There isn't one...if there was, I would have used it years ago. I couldn't even get a rape kit and I was a U.S. Merchant Marine serving on a U.S. flagged cruise ship. I was told to go back to work along side the man that raped me. I was one of five crew on crew rapes within 18 months. Are you telling me that since the percentages of the raped and dead are low, it is a risk your willing to take? It is our job to increase ship revenues. If we were honest about the illness outbreaks, mechanical breakdowns, fires, floods, rapes, and other crimes...would you honestly keep booking cruises?
Everything that has been reported here is true! I know, because of what I went thru myself as a passenger on the one and only cruise I've been on, that what you are saying is TRUE!! I was not raped, but I haven't the guts to tell the world my own experience. I just want to say to you, personally, Shari, that I am SO SORRY for what you experienced! I'm SO sorry!! :-(( Thank you for your post!!!! You have more guts than I!!! God Bless you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This post by Open Government collaborator Beth Beck is crossposted from her blog here. We hope you'll join us this week and follow along with the event!
It's finally here — LAUNCH: Beyond Waste! We've been working for the last six months to get to this point. We head out to Pasadena, California this week to hear from nine innovators with creative ways to create value from discarded products – plastic bottles, human and plant waste, unused fabric, and more.
LAUNCH, for those of you who haven't heard me talk about it before, is a social entrepreneurship enterprise that breaks new ground in public/private partnerships. We created the LAUNCH program three years ago to address large, sustainability-related challenges that no single government or commercial entity can solve alone. Our talented LAUNCH team searches for transformative innovations, which we connect with a collaborative group of thought leaders and experts which we call LAUNCH Council. LAUNCH Innovators are uniquely poised to accelerate their innovations for greater impact and scale by leveraging the advice, networks, and resources of the LAUNCH Council members and the global stage LAUNCH provides.
The ultimate goal of LAUNCH is a sustainable future for planet Earth and her citizens.
The LAUNCH: Beyond Waste forum is the fourth in a series of challenges, following Water, Health, and Energy. The LAUNCH team focused on waste as a challenge topic in order to address increasing strain on the planet's limited resources. Global citizens, as well as explorers who leave Earth's protection, share the need for creative solutions to the issue of waste — from designing for zero waste to revaluing existing waste from inefficient production and processes. LAUNCH: Beyond Waste addresses this global challenge.
I love the tagline from Anshu Gupta of Goonj, one of our innovators from India, who wants to transform the cash society into a trash society — meaning trash = revenue stream. Our western version: one man's trash is another man's treasure.
Here are the cool movie posters our team (Trish and Lilly) created to represent each innovation we'll feature at the forum.
Attero: Attero is India's first low cost, efficient metal extraction technology for e-waste. With an integrated recycling and refurbishing facility and proprietary metallurgical processes (patent pending), Attero is the only end-to-end e-waste recycling company in India.
Goonj: Using urban waste streams as a powerful development resource in rural India, Goonj is dedicated to saving lives, empowering people, and ensuring dignity for the underserved poor in rural India. Through its activities, Goonj helps to create a parallel economy that is not 'cash based', but 'trash based.'
Kiverdi: Kiverdi offers a proprietary bioprocess that recycles waste carbon from a number of waste streams, including syngas (from forestry residue and landfills), stranded natural gas or agricultural residue, to produce drop-in fuels, oils and custom chemicals. Kiverdi's industrial scale bioreactor allows the company to transform biomass into high value industrial products.
Pylantis: Pylantis is a bioplastics company with a proprietary process that combines organic fillers (waste) with plant plastic resins to create high waste content injection molded products capable of withstanding temperatures up to 140C. Pylantis produces a wide variety of products that provide a commercially viable alternative to environmentally unsustainable traditional petroleum-based plastic products.
re:char: re:char's technology allows farmers worldwide to convert their waste into biochar, a carbon-negative soil amendment to grow more food and fight climate change.
RecycleMatch: RecycleMatch is the first global on-line marketplace for recycling that connects waste generators, recyclers, and manufacturers. The RecycleMatch platform finds the 'highest and best use' for recyclables and 'waste' byproducts in the market.

The Australian radio station behind a hoax phone call to the London hospital where the pregnant Duchess of Cambridge was being treated could face criminal charges for airing the conversation, legal experts said Tuesday.
Last week's prank was widely condemned days after it aired, after the still-unexplained death of a nurse who answered the phone and helped two DJs get confidential information about the former Kate Middleton's health. But when it comes to a potential criminal case, the question is not about the death; it's whether a private conversation was broadcast without the permission of the participants.
Violators could be sentenced to prison, but it's unclear who at radio station 2DayFM or its parent company, Southern Cross Austereo, made the decision to air the call. The DJs have said executives above them made the decision, but a former 2DayFM host who orchestrated many pranks for the station said DJs were always involved in such decisions while she was there.
Southern Cross Austereo has said the station had tried five times to contact the hospital, but privacy law expert Barbara McDonald said that could prove to be an inadequate defense.
"Seems to me that saying, 'We tried to call,' shows that they knew they should, and they've made a decision to go ahead knowing that they have not got permission," said McDonald, a law professor at the University of Sydney. "I don't know whether it makes the situation better, or worse."
The New South Wales state Surveillance Devices Act prohibits the broadcast of recorded private conversations without participants' permission, with violations punishable by up to 5 years in prison and a fine of up to 55,000 Australian dollars ($58,000).
McDonald said the Commercial Radio Code of Practice has a similar ban, but she added that even if Australia's media watchdog found violations, the most extreme punishment — loss of license — is almost unheard of.
Australian authorities have said little about any possible investigation. State police have said only that they've been in contact with their London counterparts and are ready to assist them in any British investigation.
Radio hosts Mel Greig and Michael Christian called London's King Edward VII Hospital last week. Pretending to be Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Charles, they asked for word on the Duchess of Cambridge, who had been suffering from severe morning sickness. Jacintha Saldanha, the nurse who answered the phone, put them through to the ward, and the duo received confidential information on the duchess' condition that was later aired.
The radio station trumpeted the prank call until Friday, when Saldanha was found dead. Police have not disclosed the cause of Saldanha's death, but many have assumed it was related to the stress from the call. An autopsy was to be held Tuesday.
Grieg and Christian tearfully apologized for the prank in televised interviews Monday, after days of condemnation in countless Internet posts around the world.
Southern Cross Austereo also has apologized, but it has repeatedly insisted it followed the law. The company said in a statement Monday that the segment underwent an internal legal review before it was broadcast.
The company "does not consider that the broadcast of the segment has breached any relevant law, regulation or code," Austereo said, adding it would cooperate with any investigation.
On Monday, Austereo CEO Rhys Holleran said 2DayFM had tried five times, without success, to contact the London hospital to discuss the prank before it aired. The King Edward VII Hospital denied its management had been contacted by 2DayFM.
Media law expert Mark Pearson said that even if the station had tried to contact the hospital, that isn't enough under the law. He said permission must be granted by the person involved.
If the case went to court, it is possible that a judge could decide that an attempt at getting permission was sufficient, but only if the lawyers could prove that any "reasonable person" would agree that enough was done, said Pearson, a journalism professor at Bond University in Queensland state. He considered such a ruling to be a longshot.
"I think lawyers would be hard-pressed to argue that a few unprovable phone calls was enough to show that there had been a reasonable attempt to get permission," he said.
The case also could be investigated by the Australian Communications and Media Authority, the country's media watchdog. McDonald, the University of Sydney professor, said that stations found in violation generally are given warnings or told to train staff in proper procedures.
The authority has said it has received complaints about the hoax call and is looking into the case, but has not yet launched an official investigation.
Greig and Christian's comments Monday about higher-ups making the decision to air the call only raised more questions for Wendy Harmer, who hosted a morning show at 2DayFM from 1993 until resigning in late 2003.
Harmer said that when she was a DJ, she played an integral role in those decisions, and personally approved the many on-air pranks that she was responsible for.
The program producer, program manager and station manager needed to approve segments as well, Harmer said. She added that some segments were brought even higher to the group station manager for approval.
"If you're a DJ, and you're in front of the microphone, this is a very powerful medium and you should be absolutely apprised of all your responsibilities and all the rights of the audience," Harmer said. "And so to hear a couple of DJs who didn't seem to understand what those were was, I must say, alarming."
She added the company's statements that it had sought permission five times, and that the hoax call underwent legal review, are signals that the company knew "there's something big going down."
"I would say, 'If we have to bring the lawyers in, I'm not going to do it.' But I can say that with hindsight," she said.

News to know
A meteor exploded in Russia's Urals region, injuring roughly 1,000 people, CNN reports. Reports indicate that about 3,000 building were also damaged. The majority of injuries caused by the meteor are not thought to be serious, but 20,000 emergency response workers had been mobilized. Scientists have stated that the meteor is not related to the asteroid that passed near Earth today, and that the meteor entering Earth's atmosphere on the same day is just a coincidence.

Michele Bachmann expands her unproven allegations that the U.S. government is being infiltrated and subverted by radical jihadists, members of the Muslim Brotherhood.
While Bachmann has received public scoldings from a number of noteworthy Republicans, she continues to point to Huma Abedin, Hillary Clinton's deputy chief of staff, as a potential threat.
Although Bachmann refused to speak with CNN's Dana Bash about her allegations, she did speak on Glenn Beck's program. "If the state department breaks American law to bring a terrorist in to the white house," she tells Beck, "it certainly is conceivable that maybe they looked the other way issuing this security clearance, that's all we're doing is asking a question."
Bachmann continues to allege that not only was Abedin's late father a part of the Muslim Brotherhood, but also that Abedin's brother and mother are affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood and Muslim Sisterhood.
"If my family members were associated with Hamas, a terrorist organization, that alone could be sufficient to disqualify me from getting a security clearance – so all we did was ask did the federal government look into her family associations?" Bachmann says to Beck.
The piece on the Bachmann group merely asking for further investigation, was a real echo chamber, AC, Dana and Mr. Esposito all pushing the same talking points. At one point Esposito says of his students if they make an assertion they have to back it up then proceeds to claim Abedin has been vetted, but that is all most Americans would like to see, along with more generally why Obama administration policy is so pro MB suddenly without open explanation. AC, if you want open dialogue on this issue why not get Frank Gaffney or someone similar? Maybe a chicken factor? The group of 5 want an investigation and rightly don't currently want to talk in media.
If we're going to start a conversation about "religious extremists" let's flip the coin to the other side...
This seems like a classic case of projection. Accuse others of what you are secretly doing.
While all of this ridiculous fervor is going on, not one person is asking about what "The Family" of C-street are doing. Religious extremists ACTUALLY infiltrating our government with their own agenda. We let it go because they're Christians, but it's that same thing! It's either Sharia Law or Christian theocracy.
We've all been well versed about Michele Bachmann and where she stands on religion. I'm sure the same can be said for the four others calling for this "investigation". (It's a witch-hunt plan and simple)
So, if we really want to bring back the spirit of Joe McCarthy, let's at least remember where this kind of rhetoric got us the first time and not make the same mistakes and be brave enough to ask ALL of the questions this time around.
Bachmann and her fellow legislators are reviving Mcarthy tactics (a dark passage in our Country's history). I would hope our citizens could learn from history and not follow the hysteria of unfounded fears and accusations.
Five congressmen raised concerns yet Bachman gets all of the heat. Call it islamophoba if you like. But the Muslim Brotherhood, considering what has come out of the "Arab Spring" has earned some scrutiny – scrutiny it likely won't get. Throw Bachman under the bus but keep some sanity in the security clearance process.
Bachmann is a modern day Joe Mc Carthy and as such should be denounced on the floor of The House. She spews
hate and lunacy. How does this woman keep getting re-elected?
On MB's next rant you might remind her that "free radicals" are Not Islamic terrorists, but you might have to explain it to her for her to understand the "Bazinga" moment.
Bachmann and others have simply raised questions that should be raised in security clearance and policy related matters. The Brotherhood clearly is no friend of the USA, and clearly is a friend of HAMAS. To not proceed carefully with such a group is foolish.
of course its McCarthyism. She represents the worst of America
Anyone who has ever gone through the process of obtaining a security clearance knows Bachmann is telling the truth. The application from the Department of Homeland Security does include a questionnaire that asks if you or any of your relatives are or have ever been affiliated with terrorists groups. It is not a discrimination issue: It is a security issue.
Bachmann and her contemporaries are not accusing Adedin of any acts of treason, attacking her religious beliefs, or claiming the Muslim Brotherhood has infiltrated our government. They have simply questioned the legitimacy of her security clearance and, hopefully, initiated a thorough investigation by the proper authorities.
Yes, the five congress people are claiming that the Muslim Brotherhood has infiltrated the American government. This was the purpose of their claim–to show how this organization had made its way into the goverment. She is NOT simply questioning security clearance procedures!
Michele Bachmann is a Citizen of Switzerland. When this fact was revealed in the press she stated that she "denounced" her Swiss Citizenship recently, but has provided no documentation to support that claim. At the same time that MItt Romney is going on his foreign tour to get closer to his Swiss, Bahama and Cayman Bank accounts, it turns out the "report" by an individual named Frank Gaffney, who Frau Bachmann cites as her "authority" with on her little project revealed that Grover Norquist is in associate and a supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood in America.
For more information, please consult Frank Gaffney's 10-part course on the Muslim Brotherhood in America.
Yes, this is the same Herr Norquist who is the "Leader" and enforcer behind the "Norquist Oath" requiring American Republican Politicians to take an Oath beyond their American Oath under the Constitution, an Oath composed by Grover Norquist and his fellow travelers. The punishment for deviation from the "Norquist Oath" is vilification and the use of funds from non-disclosed corporate and right-wing po0litical sources to defeat any who fail to keep the "Norquist Oath" and thereby keep the already compliant majority of Republican office holders in line.
This is not a tactic that originated in America. NO documentation regarding Grover Norquist's citizenship has been produced. For once, in relation to this Grover Norquist and his support and involvement in the Muslim Brotherhood, Swiss Citizen Bachmann may have accidentally done America a service. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day!
Michelle Bachman is an embarrassment to the state of Minnesota. She is known for her unsubstantiated statements and theories. I'm pleased to see Republicans actually speaking out against her, but fear that again this November she'll be reelected. Where she gathers up enough state birds to put her back in office each time is mind-boggling and at the same time disturbing.
Nothing surprises me anymore in American politics. Must just be a coincidence that Bachman is going on this witch hunt so close to the election (and Birthers are ramping up their conspiracy once again). There is no shame for some of the far right who will do ANYTHING to "win." As they say, if you tell a lie long enough and frequent enough people start to believe it especially the stupid ones.
Our country is being ripped apart by people who foment fear and distrust. Why? Because who wants to buy a book or listen to a speech that doesn't paint one group as right, just, morally superior, and another as evil, loathsome and hell bent on destroying America? It sells and these people are cashing checks because of the hatred and fear they create. I'd like to think that cooler heads will prevail but I have serious doubts. The American people are getting dumber, education has been de-emphasized and budgets slashed, and I'm afraid that once this ugly, hate filled ignorant genie has left the bottle she ain't going back. I would like to see thoughtful, rationale Republicans stand up to this intolerance, hate and ignorance but they don't want to piss off a politically well organized and ruthless segment of their party.
It comes down to doing the right thing for the country and standing up for what you know is right but may cost you an election, versus being silent or offering a weak rebuke knowing that doing so hurts the country but helps you politically.
Mrs. Bachmann know exactly what she is doing. She is trying to appeal to the anti-Muslim extremists in her base. Her constituency base consists of mostly Anglo-Saxon voters who sympathize with what she is doing. This is the worst kind of political pandering. It's simply un-American.
I think you got it right by saying if bachmenn tought for a second that what she is saying is real why go on radio and tell it like you knew about 9/11 and than going on tv and saying its going to happen, there is nothing els to say after just that if your bachmenn fear= money and thats the name of the game because money = speech
I believe that Bachman should be completely investigated to determine if she has a brain and serious emotional problems. Can you imagine that she wanted to be President..scary!
I think I speak for many republicans when I say – Bachmann get off my side.
I am ashamed to be in this crazy persons district. I cannot understand how she gets elected. It's like this wacko is totally off her meds. She needs to go (to the asylum, permanently).
"Keeping them honest." Which definition of honesty (American Judeo-Christian or Muslim) are were using to describe 'keeping them honest."? The infiltration of the Muslim Brotherhood is fairly obvious, especially that incident in Tennessee with the erection of the Mosque. When a civil servant's decision is undone by an official of a higher office, that makes it really clear that the Muslim lifestyle institutions are infiltrating in America. I really don't want to take time away from my work day to bow to the east.
Bachmann has gone off the deep end crazy....she is a danger.....and those four yahoos who are pictured with her are low level congressmen who are looking for a leg up.....notice too....like the Republican party all of the are white. most likely tea party affiliated.....just more of the same craziness that has now taken over the Republican party
The NSA needs to check if Rep. BACHMAN has a navel.
I believe that Michele Backman should be sued for deformation of charactor and be recalled from any position she holds. She is so unamerican herself. This is not what Americans are. We are a loving people who welcome all people no matter race, creed, color, etc.
Why hasn't she been charged with defamation of character? She has no facts to back up her claims. Freedom of speech has limits.
Bachmann suggestions smack of McCarthyism!!
Bachmann's comments don't "smack of McCarthyism" they are the EPITOME of the muckraking, lying, cowardly method that plunged our country into fear driven craziness when I was a kid. Been there, done that, this has got to be stopped NOW!
McCarthy lives on in this extremists Republican Party. The Party of No.( No middle class, No Health care, No to any legislative compromises)
Right on Nan!

In recent years, scientists may have inadvertently given up on a key component of the scientific method: reproducibility. That's an argument that's being advanced by a number of people who have been tracking our increasing reliance on computational methods in all areas of science. An apparently simple computerized analysis may now involve a complex pipeline of software tools; reproducing it will require version control for both software and data, along with careful documentation of the precise parameters used at every step. Some researchers are now getting concerned that their peers simply aren't up to the challenge, and we need to start providing the legal and software tools to make it easier for them.
In the past, reproduction was generally a straightforward affair. Given a list of reagents, and an outline of the procedure used to generate some results, other labs should be able to see the same things. If a result couldn't be reproduced, then it could be a sign that the original result was so sensitive to the initial conditions that it probably wasn't generally relevant; more seriously, it could be viewed as a sign of serious error or fraud. In any case, the ability to reproduce a given result is key to its general acceptance and, since a successful experiment is often the foundation of further research, often essential for pushing a field forward.
Computation and the reproducibility crisis
But, when it comes to computational analysis, both the equivalent of reagents and procedures have a series of issues that act against reproducibility. The raw material of computational analysis can be a complex mix of public information and internally generated data—for example, it's not uncommon to see a paper that combines information from the public genome repositories with a gene expression analysis performed by an individual research team.
A lot of this data is in a constant state of flux; new genomes are being completed at a staggering pace, meaning that an analysis performed six months later may produce substantially different results unless careful versioning is used. In some cases, the data resides in proprietary databases. Some of this work may run up against the issues of data preservation, as older information may reside on media that's no longer supported or in file formats that are difficult to read.
And that's just the data. An analysis pipeline may involve dozens of specialized software tools chained together in series, each with a number of parameters that need to be documented for their output to be reproduced. Like the data, some of these tools are proprietary, and many of them undergo frequent revisions that add new features, change algorithms, and so on. Some of them may be developed in-house, where commenting and version control often take a back seat to simply getting software that works. Finally, even the best commercial software has bugs.
The net result is that, even in cases where all the data and tools are public, it may simply be impossible to produce the exact same results. And that has serious implications for the use of reproducibility in every sense: validating existing results by repeating them, determining their robustness by performing a distinct but overlapping analysis, and using the results as a basis for further research. Perhaps most significantly, without a way of determining precisely what was done, it's impossible to identify the differences that sometimes cause similar analyses to produce different results.
Putting the reproducibility into computational code
At this point, one might be tempted to make a misguided argument that the advent of computational tools means that it's time for a major revision of the scientific method. But reproducibility became a key component of that method precisely because it's so useful, which is why a number of people are pushing for the field to adopt standards to ensure that computational tools conform to the existing scientific method.
Victoria Stodden is currently at Yale Law School, and she gave a short talk at the recent Science Online meeting in which she discussed the legal aspects of ensuring that the code behind computational tools is accessible enough for reproducibility. The obvious answer is some sort of Creative Commons or open source license, and Stodden is exploring the legal possibilities in that regard. But she makes a forceful argument that some form of code sharing will be essential.
"You need the code to see what was done," she told Ars. "The myriad computational steps taken to achieve the results are essentially unguessable—parameter settings, function invocation sequences—so the standard for revealing it needs to be raised to that of when the science was, say, lab-based experiment." This sort of openness is also in keeping with the scientific standards for sharing of more traditional materials and results. "It adheres to the scientific norm of transparency but also to the core practice of building on each other's work in scientific research," she said. But the same worries that apply to more traditional data sharing—researchers may have a competitor use that data to publish first—also apply here. In the slides from her talk, she notes that a survey she conducted of computational scientists indicates that many are concerned about attribution and the potential loss of publications in addition to legal issues. (The biggest worry is the effort involved to clean up and document existing code.)
Still, this sort of disclosure, as with other open source software, should provide a key benefit: more interested parties able to evaluate and improve the code. "Not only will we clearly publish better science, but redesigned and updated code bases will be valuable scientific contributions," Stodden said. "Over time, we won't stagnate forever on one set of published code."
Putting the reproducibility into computational code
Even if we solve the legal and computational portions of the problem, however, we're going to run into issues with the fact that many of the people who use computational tools understand what they do, but don't feel compelled to learn the math behind them. That's where a paper in the latest edition of Science comes in. Its author, Jill Mesirov of the Broad Institute, describes how many biologists aren't well versed in computational analysis, but are increasingly reliant on tools created by those who are; she then goes on to describe one type of solution, called GenePattern, that she and her colleagues put together with the help of Microsoft Research.
The idea is that the researchers that rely on computational techniques as part of their day-to-day activities need an entire "reproducible research system" that will make it easier for them to document the sources of their data and the analyses performed on it. The system they've designed shares features with rapid application development environments, as it graphically represents modular computational tools, which can be ordered to create an analysis pipeline, and the individual settings for each can be tweaked. Once complete, the user can trigger the analysis to run; the system documents all of the relevant settings and software information.
Microsoft got involved because Mesirov was apparently inspired by the fact that it's possible to embed a spreadsheet in a word processing document and leave it accessible to all the standard tools for manipulating that data. So, the GenePattern software includes a Word plugin that can embed the output of any data created using these tools, such as a table or chart. When clicked, the full GenePattern environment makes all the information about the experiment—the software and settings used, for example—accessible to the reader. It's even possible to rerun the same analysis, a sort of point-and-click reproducibility.
There are clearly some limitations to this implementation. Although the software is cross-platform, the plug-in is not. Publishers have standardized on PDFs (not Word docs) for distributing research papers, and GenePattern is limited to those analysis tools that have been adapted to work with it. But there's no question that it's the right sort of approach, as it implicitly recognizes that just about anyone doing science is now doing some form of computation, and very few of them are likely to be fully cognizant of everything that's involved in making sure their documentation is sufficient to ensure reproducibility. Unless the tools that do the analysis are designed to do so for them, a lot of this critical information is likely to be lost to the rest of the scientific community.

'Joking judge' resigns in wake of court ruling
NEWARK, N.J. - Vince Sicari can tell all the lawyer jokes he wants - he just can't play a judge in real life.
The New Jersey municipal judge, who is also an established stand-up comedian and actor, resigned Thursday after the state Supreme Court ruled he can't moonlight as an entertainer.
Sicari told The Associated Press he tendered his resignation after the high court released a unanimous opinion that said his acting and comedy career is "incompatible" with judicial conduct codes and essentially gave him the choice of doing one or the other.
"I'm not surprised by the result, but I'm very disappointed," Sicari said. "I take great pride in being a judge and to give that up is disappointing."
The 44-year-old lawyer, whose stage name is Vince August, has carved out a career as a comic and actor, appearing on network television, in New York City comedy clubs and as a warm-up for Comedy Central audiences. He was also a part-time municipal judge in South Hackensack, where he handled things like traffic ticket cases and disorderly persons offenses.
Several justices had questioned whether the public could separate Sicari's position as a judge from roles he has played on the ABC hidden camera show "What Would You Do?" in which he has portrayed homophobic and racist characters. That dilemma played a central role in Thursday's ruling, as the justices noted that someone tuning into the show might not know that actors were used in the sketches. They applied the same standard for Sicari's stand-up performances.
"In the course of his routines, Sicari has demeaned certain people based on national origin and religion and has revealed his political leanings," according to the court's opinion. "The court cannot ignore the distinct possibility that a person who has heard a routine founded on humor disparaging certain ethnic groups and religions will not be able to readily accept that the judge before whom he or she appears can maintain the objectivity and impartiality that must govern all municipal court proceedings."
A state ethics board recommended in 2008 that Sicari quit his comedy work, expressing concern over his character depictions on the ABC reality show and the potential content of his sketches.
Sicari appealed the ruling to the state's highest court, which heard arguments in February.
Sicari's attorney, E. Drew Britcher, insisted at the time that his client never cracked wise on the bench and never let on that he moonlighted as a comic. In his comedy routine, Britcher added, Sicari refrained from jokes about the legal profession and never divulged his judicial job.
An attorney for the state attorney general's office, Kim D. Ringler, argued against Sicari being allowed to hold both jobs, saying municipal judges represent the most frequent contact the public has with the justice system. Some of the characters Sicari has depicted could confuse the public and reflect badly on the judiciary, she argued.
Sicari, who is a member of the Screen Actors Guild and other professional performers' unions, has said his entertainment work entitles him to health benefits and earns him more than his $13,000-a-year part-time judge salary. He said during the Supreme Court arguments in February that he was equally passionate about both his jobs and reiterated that Thursday.

Niles West was able to fend off Plainfield North down the stretch to advance to the semifinal round of the consolation bracket with a 67-63 win.
The Wolves had led 18-13 after one quarter and 39-30 at the intermission. But Plainfield North started chipping away at the deficit in the second half. The Tigers outscored Niles West by eight points over the first 6 1/2 minutes to trail 50-49 with 1:21 left in the quarter.
That's when Niles West head coach Bob Williams got a timeout.
"When they got back into the game, we were turning the ball over," Williams said. "When we took care of the basketball, good things happened. Being fundamental with the ball was more important than anything."
The Wolves regained their composure and rattled off seven straight points to close out the period with a 57-49 lead.
The Tigers still clawed at the deficit, finally getting it back to one with 2:18 to go in the game when Trevor Stumpe went drove baseline to make it 62-61.
Niles West got a timeout with 1:55 to go and went into ball-control mode. The Wolves were sent to the line and put the game away with three free throws and solid defense.
"I thought we played a much more fundamental, energetic game than yesterday," Williams said. "I thought we got on them a little early, but there's no quit in (Plainfield North). We expected this kind of battle."
Mohammed Qureshi led the Wolves with 18 points and 13 rebounds. Joe Younan added 14 points and Ahmad Gibson chipped in 10 points and dished out 7 assists.
Stumpe paced the Tigers with 21 points and 9 rebounds. Corey Evak checked in with 11 points and 17 boards and Joe Nowak had 10 points.

Anderson Cooper reports from a refugee camp on the Syria-Turkey border where residents want their stories told. The Syrians refuse to return to their homes unless Bashar al-Assad is no longer in power.
Post by: Anderson Cooper
Filed under: Syria
Thank you Mr. Anderson on Behalf of all humanty. It seems the world is busy enough to ignore all these people dying.. whats going is a crime.. its a crime against humanity its no longer a political issue.. where are the international law to protect civilians ? are these laws just to be kept on papers and used for political reasons only?
Dear Mr. Anderson Cooper:
We all hold a job some time in our life, but very few would turn this job in to an opportunity to do a heroic act. Truly what you have done in covering the Arab spring has been a history making work. I cant thank you enough for your work and for risking your life to do this work spicily all the coverage you are doing on Syria and uncovering what the Syrian government is doing to its people for all to see.
Thank you
Anderson is the only major TV journalist who has consistently kept us aware of the horrors going on in Syria. Why is our government not doing something to help the Syrian people? The U.S. , Britain, and France rushed into Libya to rightly get rid of a dictator who killed far fewer people than what Assad has killed. Why is the world sitting on its hands? Are we afraid of Russia and Iran? The reason couldn't be that Libya has OIL and Syria doesn't, could it???
We commend Anderson for keeping us informed on what is happening in Syria and for having the guts to go there in person. Keep up the good work Anderson.
What is happening in Syrian is truly sad and yes I believe the world should step in and bring an end to this Crime. My question is; Where are the countries in the Middle East in all this and isn't it there time to step up and help bring an end to it all. But all I hear is where is the USA, if the USA would, USA should do that. If our President does anything he will be wrong with the far Right (wrong ) or it will be here we are trying to recover from the other Wars we have been put into by not the President, but by the very people screaming for more action is needed it comes from the Party that has are working to continue to protect their friends and that would be the 1% .Haven't we all seen enough death over protecting the 1% er's get richier and the rest of us are used as they feel we deserve. Does anyone else want to go back to a War and lose more of our troop's who are left to defend theirselves as well as the rest of us.
Isn't there one person who is willing to say; NO MORE STOP IT NOW , MAKE the Very Countries who gain the most be told to stop this and we will support you efforts, but that doesn't mean any more US Citzen lose their life to protect Wall Street, and a congress that is more worried about stealing from all of us and those poor folks in Syria !!!!!!
thanks alot
I hope people realize that Just like Hitler could not be appeased by giving him Austria and the check, Assad and histerror gangs cannot be allowed to believe, he can scare the civilized world away
Thank you so much for continuously covering Syria in your program.
Anderson Cooper goes beyond the headlines to tell stories from many points of view, so you can make up your own mind about the news. Tune in weeknights at 8 and 10 ET on CNN.

Hackers from Lulz Security ("LulzSec") broke into Sony Pictures servers, grabbed one million user accounts and plaintext passwords, then released a large sample of this data online yesterday. The data set seen by Ars Technica included names, home addresses, passwords, and e-mail addresses—perfect for malicious exploitation, since many people reuse passwords on multiple accounts. To make matters worse, the sample that LulzSec released contained data almost exclusively on (allegedly) elderly users born in the 1920s, '30s, and '40s.
According to LulzSec, hacks using the data have already begun—but don't blame them! Releasing all these e-mail addresses and passwords was Sony's fault.
"I hear there's been some funny scamming with jacked Sony accounts. That's what you get for using the same password everywhere," the group wrote this morning on its Twitter account. "Hey innocent people whose data we leaked: blame @Sony."
At least some of the leaked data does appear to be accurate. We cross-checked multiple addresses in the data release with US government property records and phone records; they match the listed surnames and phone numbers, and the leaked e-mail address in turn tend to mirror the names (often including sections of the name in question, for instance). The Associated Press called around and also confirmed the accuracy of some of the leaked data. But other entries in the database are quite clearly bogus—perhaps reflecting Sony contest entrants who didn't want to provide too much personal detail or were under the legal age to enter.
This angered some people, like Twitter user H0lyPuma. "Alright @LulzSec there was no reason to publish the user accounts. hack all you want, but why punish the user? what did they do wrong?" he asked. "There is no way to justify distributing user accounts. This could fuck these people up for a long time."
Not that LulzSec cares. Its mascot wears a monocle and hoists a glass of wine in a rakish manner; its Twitter feed tells people, "You sir are sorely deluded if you think we're whitehat" and describes the group as "a team of entertainment and security experts that specialise in the production of malicious comedic cybermaterials."
In the group's IRC chatroom, the same lulz-loving, responsibility-free attitude prevails. When reporter Nick Deleon showed up to request an interview this morning, he got this:
[Reporter]: hi folks. so this is going to sound silly, but i'm a reporter (the daily, the new ipad newspaper-thing) in new york and i'm wondering if anyone here would like to talk about the sony situation [LulzSec member]: sure. in which hole of yours would you prefer i stick my penis? [Reporter]: if i have a choice in the matter, no hole would be preferable
The group even has a jolly pirate song, familiar to those who grew up watching Loveboat.
Lulz, exciting and new, come aboard, we're expecting you. Lulz, life's sweetest reward, let it flow, it floats back to you. The Lulz Boat soon will be making another run The Lulz Boat promises something for everyone. Set a course for adventure, your mind on a new romance. Lulz won't hurt anymore, it's an open smile on a friendly shore. Yes LULZ! Welcome aboard: it's LULZ!
And so the Lulz Boat sails on. In its chat room, group members probe various government websites looking for common security flaws (the Sony Pictures hack used a basic SQL injection), joke about being Aaron Barr, and compare notes on obfuscating IP addresses. Apart from Twitter, however, the group has far less interest in chatting with reporters.
"Pl0x dont post all teh sploits [exploits] on your report k?" one LulzSec user told Deleon. "And we won't use your DNS against you ;)"
"Lol. A reporter," added a third. "The twitter is all you're getting."

Do it Yourself: Fight pests with low dose of chemical
Summer has arrived, and so have home pests.
For more than 30 years, the basic philosophy of pest control was to use a high-dose chemical that would serve as an all-purpose insecticide. Now pest control is all about high-tech, low-dose products.
Perhaps the best embodiment of this philosophy is Enforcer's Bug Max 365. Bug Max has only a. 03 percent formulation, making it a low-dose product.
Years ago, gardeners spread chrysanthemums around the perimeters of their gardens. The chrysanthemums were an effective, naturally occurring insecticide. Researchers developed synthetic alternatives for the chrysanthemums called pyrethroids. Pyrethroids are among the safest classes of pesticides. The most effective pyrethroid is deltamethrin. Enforcer Bug Max 365 uses a low dose of deltamethrin.
Bug Max is a one-year home pest control that is odorless, nonstaining and has a water-based formula. It controls box elder bugs, Asian lady bugs, termites, ants, spiders, roaches and more. It kills on contact and it also kills residually.
