#Anonymous - Spirit of MLK Launches Worldwide #WaveofAction ~*~
This video was created in support of the Anonymous call for a Worldwide Wave of Action. We have set up an organizing site here: https://waveofaction.org
Video transcript:
Martin Luther King, Jr.: "We have come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism…. It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment. The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges…. I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom…"
On the anniversary of the assassination of Martin Luther King, April 4th, 2014, the spirit of MLK will rise again. We will engage a worldwide wave of action, "from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city. From every mountain side…"
We will "let freedom ring."
Anonymous, Occupy and the 99% Movement have set up the dominoes for an unprecedented Worldwide Wave of Action. The tipping point is near.
We are calling on all Anons, nonAnons, collectives, organizations and conscious individuals to take autonomous nonviolent direct action throughout the global spring.
For a sustained three-month cycle, we will swarm corrupt targets and rally around solutions to the vast problems we are confronted by.
This time, we will not have stationary targets for the police state to crush. We will be everywhere, fluid and evasive. The movement will be an unstoppable crowdsourced, decentralized and autonomous revolutionary force.
You lead, in your own way. Engage in a diversity of nonviolent tactics, from large-scale mobilizations to small daily acts, knowing that millions of people throughout the world will also be engaged at the same time you are, in whatever way they can.
Without revealing too much strategic information, here are some action ideas to get a fire going in your mind:
• Mass gatherings, demonstrations;
• Marches, parades;
• Flash mobs, swarms;
• Shutdown harmful corporate and governmental operations;
• Worker Strikes;
• Hunger strikes;
• Sit-ins;
• Strategic defaults, debt strikes;
• Foreclosure prevention;
• Boycotting corrupt corporations;
• Move your money out of the big banks and the stock market;
• Use alternative currencies and economic systems;
• Cancel your cable television and support independent media;
• Use independent online tools that don't sell your info and protect your privacy;
• Online civil disobedience, Anonymous operations;
• Leak information on corruption;
• Use alternative energy;
• Build your own urban and hydroponic farms, or get your food from them;
• Support local businesses;
• Join local community organizations;
• Take part in food banks and help develop community support systems;
• Start or join intentional and autonomous communities;
• Experiment with new governing systems, Liquid Democracy;
• Host teach-ins;
• Organize socially conscious events;
• Make conscious media;
• Guerrilla postering, messages on money;
• Help inspiring groups and organizations spread their message;
• Random acts of kindness and compassion;
• Mass meditations, prayer sessions and spiritual actions.
You know what you can do to play a part. Do whatever you feel inspired to do. Amplify what you are already doing. Think about what you are willing to do to be the change that we urgently need to see in the world, and then do it.
Don't get bogged down in infighting and caught up in negativity. Ignore the saboteurs. Collaborate with people who inspire you. Keep moving forward with an indomitable will, a compassionate spirit and radiate a positive attitude. Moods are contagious. Be passionate and have fun!
Create a culture of transformation.
If we begin preparing now, a massive Spring offensive will lead to a Summer of transformation, a Fall of the empire and the birth of a new era.
United we will blaze a contagious nonviolent wave of action through mass consciousness.
United we will signal the end of the old world.
United we will usher in a new paradigm.
Now is the time.
Ride the Worldwide Wave of Transformation

#Anonymous: Annual New Year Speech 2014
Greetings citizens of the world,
2013 was a year of awakening, once secret data was leaked, and the citizens of the world began to stand together. 2013 armed the general population with knowledge, knowledge that if used correctly could truly change the world for the better!
Now as 2013 fades into the past, we enter a new chapter in human history. Though it may be hard for those with their eyes still closed to see, we've come so far and we're on course as a species to accomplish so much more. 2014 will be the year of planetary revolution.
We enter this new year armed with the knowledge of countless generations that came before us, we can learn from the examples of over 10,000 years of organized human civilizations. The mistakes of our ancestors were lessons for their descendents, for us, as well as all generations to come.
The time to restore the balance of power is now. Anonymous is but a reflection of you, the people. You must take action rather than waiting for others to do so. This year it's up to the people, you're all the key, you always have been. Peaceful revolution is still possible! That's why this year we are launching Project V
Make your voices heard, take to the streets, contact your state representatives. Let the leaders of your country know the people aren't satisfied with the current course the powers that be have set. Let them know that privacy, liberty, and general human rights do matter! Don't simply say how you're dissatisfied, offer solutions for these issues to your political leaders.
This year is what you make it to be, so make it damn good, something to be proud of. When future generations look back on 2014, what do you want them to think about us and the choices we made? We have 12 months to change the world for the better, so lets make every moment count!
We are Anonymous,
We are Legion,
We can & Should Forgive,
Yet we shall Never Forget,
To those who wish to see peace fail in 2014 - Expect us!

Greetings, citizens of the globe.
On December 1st, 2013, Yanukovych and his MVS/Berkut thugs unleashed a brutal crackdown on journalists and media that are not sympathetic to his interests and ambitions. According to an incredibly detailed report by Telekritica, over 50 journalists were targeted and injured by the Berkut during the demonstrations. Many of the reporters were beaten by the Berkut, despite displaying proper press credentials and informing the Berkut that they were members of the press.
Additionally, the office of the opposition party, Batkivshchyna, was raided by an MVS unit armed with machine guns on December 9th. The excuse used by the MVS was that they were providing tips regarding stolen computer equipment in the office. During the raid, the MVS destroyed or seized multiple servers. On the same day, the MVS also destroyed or seized the servers of numerous press entities, including the newspaper Vechirni Visti, the online TV station INTV and the news website Cenzor.net. During these raids, the MVS wore masks and attempted to operate under the shield of anonymity, all in an effort to send a threat to both the media and the public.
In the face of a deliberate and inexcusable effort by Yanukovych and the MVS to punish both the people and the media for merely reporting what is happening in Ukraine, we will rise to the occasion to offer everyone, the people, and the media, the ability to make sure their footage is spread as quickly and as efficiently as possible as well as being preserved. Unlike the servers located in Ukraine, our servers and network are beyond the reach and intimidation of Yanukovych and anonymous MVS hooligans.
Since the MVS thinks they can act under a cloak of anonymity to intimidate the people and silence the media, we now offer you the power of Anonymous to communicate with the world and create the media. We are here to help everyone show that Yanukovych's efforts in bullying the people into silence have been, and will continue to be, in vain.
The bank/financial system and government of Ukraine uses the tax money to beat, imprison and repress students, journalists and simply peaceful people, peaceful demonstrators. As you already know, were attacked were attacked by the government's controlled riot police several times and it is planning to do such things again if we do not act.
We think it is critical to stop the financial support of the police and government in order to destruct their structure and prevent new dictatorship. We would also like to point your attention to the fact that the MVS is not the only organization that can seize servers.
Anonymous compromised several Ukrainian government servers in retaliation to the government brutality toward its people.

#OpKillingBay: Stop the Slaughter - #CyberWhaleWarrior (and dolphins tew! <3)
Welcome World:
"TOKYO — The Japanese village notorious for the dolphin hunt documented in the film "The Cove" has slaughtered a pod of dolphins but spared the youngest animals, activists said Tuesday.
Most of the dolphins caught by residents of the seaside village of Taiji on Monday were butchered Tuesday, except for two that will be sold to aquariums and six young animals that were released into the ocean, said Scott West, a member of the Sea Shepherd conservation group who is in Taiji as part of a campaign to protect the marine mammals.Leilani Munter, an environmental activist visiting Taiji from Charlotte, North Carolina, also witnessed the hunt and saw the dolphins being cut up in the slaugherhouse.
"There is nothing to prepare you for seeing it in person. I saw these beautiful dolphins being driven into the cove, and they came out dead bodies," she told The Associated Press.
For years, Taiji has held an annual dolphin hunt which begins in September and continues through March. It has traditionally sold the best-looking ones to aquariums and killed the rest.
But the Oscar-winning documentary – which showed how herded dolphins were stabbed in a cove that turned red with blood – has intensified international opposition to the slaughter.
Activists are organizing a protest Thursday at Japanese embassies around the world against the killings.
Unlike previous years, Taiji has been setting some of the captured dolphins free, probably because of the growing pressure, West said.
The village also has not killed any bottlenose dolphins, the same species as "Flipper" in the 1960s U.S. TV show. Instead, the victims have been risso dolphins and pilot whales, which are also dolphins but don't have the distinctive pointed noses of bottlenoses, West said.
No bottlenose dolphins were caught Monday, he said.
Last month, Taiji fishermen captured about a dozen bottlenose dolphins, which are still swimming in a netted area in a harbor separate from the cove.
A European conservationist group, Black Fish, said it cut nets in that harbor last month but the dolphins did not escape.
The young dolphins released Tuesday appeared confused, perhaps looking for their parents, and it was unclear how well they will survive, West said.
The Taiji fishing spokesman was not available for comment.
Town officials have repeatedly defended the slaughter as a way to make a living in an area where the rocky landscape makes farming and livestock-raising difficult.
The town has also been trying to draw tourists to see its aquariums, where visitors can play with captive dolphins.
The Japanese government allows about 20,000 dolphins to be caught each year, and defends the hunts as traditional and argues that killing dolphins and whales is no different from raising cows or pigs for slaughter.
Most Japanese have never eaten dolphin meat and would find the idea unappetizing.
In addition to opposing the Taiji hunt, Sea Shepherd has also harassed Japanese whaling ships.
West said Sea Shepherd offered to buy the captured dolphins from Taiji fishermen, raising money through global donations, but that was rejected." - HuffPost

Why Is Barrett Brown Facing 100 Years in Prison? | #FreeBB #FreeAnons #PersonaManagement #SpreadThis
It was announced on Wednesday morning that Barrett Brown, a man who became a very public talking head for AnonOps (the brain trust that is arguably the cortex of the hacktivist group Anonymous, even though theretechnically isn't one) is facing up to 100 years in jail for three separate indictments. Two of the indictments—the threatening of an FBI officer in a YouTube video and the concealing of evidence—do not seem worthy of such a harsh sentence, considering a man in Houston recieved only 42 months for threatening to blow up an FBI building, and a former dentist got 18 months for threatening to kill an FBI agent. The third, however, pertains to Barrett Brown's pasting of a link in an Anonymous IRC chat room to a document full of credit card numbers and their authentication codes that was stolen from the security company Stratfor, in the midst of a hack that released over five million internal emails. Those emails were published to Wikileaks. Some writers have rightfully raised their concerns about the legalities behind sharing a link that points to stolen material (which is why I have not linked to those five million emails) and whether or not that should be an indictable offense. However, Barrett's work and research into Stratfor tells a much more complicated and disturbing story than a pile of stolen Visa cards.
It's obvious by looking at the most recent posts on Barrett Brown's blog that while he is highly interested in Stratfor, it wasn't the credit card information that motivated him. When those five million emails leaked, a product called TrapWire, which was created by a company called Abraxas, was revealed to the public at large. And it caused a media shitstorm. In 2005, the founder of Abraxas and former head of the CIA's European division, Richard Helms, described TrapWire as software that is installed inside of surveillance camera systems that is, "more accurate than facial recognition" with the ability to "draw patterns, and do threat assessments of areas that may be under observation from terrorists." As Russia Today reported, one of the leaked emails, allegedly written by Stratfor's VP of Intelligence, Fred Burton, stated that TrapWire was at "high-value targets" in "the UK, Canada, Vegas, Los Angeles, NYC."
TrapWire has since largely been dismissed as nothing to "freak out" over, and that hopefully is the case. However, far beyond what the surveillance software itself can or can't do, the revelation that TrapWire exists has caused a chain reaction of discoveries that have seemingly revealed a mob of very powerful cybersecurity firms.
Barrett Brown was doing some very serious investigating into a company called Cubic from San Diego, that was alleged to own TrapWire as a subsidiary of their firm. This is an allegation that they officially denied. However, these tax filings from 2010 that Barrett uncovered clearly state that Cubic had in fact merged with Abraxas Corporation. If you click through and take a look, you can see that Richard Helms's name is right there on the top of the first page.
Alongside Abraxas and Cubic on those tax filings is another company called Ntrepid. According to Florida State's records of corporations, Richard Helms is the director of that company. In 2011, Barrett's work helped lead the Guardian to their report that Ntrepid won a $2.76 million-dollar contract from Centcom (U.S. Central Command), to create "online persona management" software, also known as "sockpuppetry." To break it down in plain English, online persona management was created to populate social networks with a bunch of fake and believable social media personas to "influence internet conversations and spread pro-American propaganda."
Ntrepid also has a product they call Tartan, that's detailed in this internal presentation hosted by the Wall Street Journal. In Ntrepid's own parlance, they describe Tartan as a program that can "Analyze illicit organizations and less structured social networks by identifying: Ranks of influence within human networks… [and can] end the use of [online] aliases." Clearly they are looking to dismantle the smoke and mirrors that groups like Anonymous maintain, by hanging out in chatrooms where they do not need to identify themselves officially, with many private communications happening at once. This creates a difficult-to-penetrate den, where people can easily hide online. Evidently, Ntrepid is seeking to pull all of that apart with Tartan.
Corporate info on Tartan.
In another document on Ntrepid letterhead, titled "Tartan Influence Model: Anarchist Groups," Tartan is positioned as a software tool that can help combat domestic protestors who operate in "an amorphous network of anarchist and protest groups" and suggests that these groups are prone to violence. They name Occupy Wall Street and Occupy D.C. as part of the problem, and have "built Occupy networks through online communication with anarchists." By identifying the threat of anarchistic, supposedly violent protestors, Tartan sells its services by saying their software "identifies the hidden relationships among organizers of seemingly unrelated movements… To mitigate the ability of anarchists to incite violence… Law enforcement must identify the complex network of relationships among anarchist leaders." So, beyond taking apart movements that exist solely online, Tartan is looking to come out and crush real world protest movements as well.
A lot of this information and the connections between it all would not be easy to figure out were it not for Barrett Brown. For one, Barrett started ProjectPM, a wiki that is completely dedicated to piecing together all of this information about surveillance companies in the United States. He even got on the phone with a representative at Cubic to tell them that their company was full of liars and that they do in fact own TrapWire. Without Barrett Brown, tons of this research would likely have gone unearthed. Besides a few journalists, not many people have been looking into this information. The one other group that does is called Telecomix, the guys who are famous for supplying dial-up internet lines to areas of the world with oppressive dictatorships, and who I interviewed about the Gaza conflict here. They operate the Bluecabinet Wiki, and they worked very closely with Barrett Brown to uncover more information about the network of cybersecurity firms.
I talked to one of the volunteers at Telecomix, who strongly believes in the work that Barrett did to connect all of these very confusing dots: "I haven't seen reporters really taking a hard look at what Barrett Brown, the investigative journalist, was researching and where it leads to. His discovery that TrapWire = Abraxas and that there is CIA involvement is very important. Do you know in Berlin right now a game was started to destroy surveillance cameras in public places? Barrett apparently was reading through the emails of HBGary and Stratfor, linking the data to the specific surveillance companies and contractors… It is an extremely time consuming task."
Barrett Brown was not a hacker. He did not infiltrate any systems, nor did he appear to know how to do anything of the sort (he did try to take down the Mexican drug cartels in 2011, but that is a whole other story). Barrett was an investigative journalist who has been published in the Guardian, Vanity Fair,Huffington Post, and Business Week. He closely (perhaps too closely) aligned himself with Anonymous, and dug into some very serious, complicated, and high-level issues pertaining to the future of America's cyberwar conquests. In light of recent news that the Pentagon wants 4,000 new "hackers for cyber command," it's clear that the US' infrastructure for private cyber defense companies is only growing, and their motives are oftentimes confusing and frightening.
Clearly there is so much more to the Stratfor leak than a bunch of credit card numbers—and the truth behind it all, along with Barrett Brown's possible century-long jail sentence—is a scary prospect for journalists, privacy advocates, and internet activists alike. As Barrett Brown himself said regarding the leak of Stratfor emails and the credit card numbers within them that some hackers from Anonymous used to donate money to charities: "Much of the media has focused on the fact that some participants in the attack chose to use obtained customer credit card numbers to make donations to charitable causes. Although this aspect of the operation is indeed newsworthy, and, like all things, should be scrutinized and criticized as necessary, the original purpose and ultimate consequence of the operation has been largely ignored."
Geeks are the New Guardians of Our Civil Liberties - #Anonymous #Hackers #Hacking #FTW
<3 <3 By @BiellaColeman <3 <3
A decade-plus of anthropological fieldwork among hackers and like-minded geeks has led me to the firm conviction that these people are building one of the most vibrant civil liberties movements we've ever seen. It is a culture committed to freeing information, insisting on privacy, and fighting censorship, which in turn propels wide-ranging political activity. In the last year alone, hackers have been behind some of the most powerful political currents out there. Before I elaborate, a brief word on the term "hacker" is probably in order. Even among hackers, it provokes debate. For instance, on the technical front, a hacker might program, administer a network, or tinker with hardware. Ethically and politically, the variability is just as prominent. Some hackers are part of a transgressive, law-breaking tradition, their activities opaque and below the radar. Other hackers write open-source software and pride themselves on access and transparency. While many steer clear of political activity, an increasingly important subset rise up to defend their productive autonomy, or engage in broader social justice and human rights campaigns. Despite their differences, there are certain websites and conferences that bring the various hacker clans together. Like any political movement, it is internally diverse but, under the right conditions, individuals with distinct abilities will work in unison toward a cause. Take, for instance, the reaction to the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), a far-reaching copyright bill meant to curtail piracy online. SOPA was unraveled before being codified into law due to a massive and elaborate outpouring of dissent driven by the hacker movement. The linchpin was a "Blackout Day"—a Web-based protest of unprecedented scale. To voice their opposition to the bill, on January 17, 2012, nonprofits, some big Web companies, public interest groups, and thousands of individuals momentarily removed their websites from the Internet and thousands of other citizens called or e-mailed their representatives. Journalists eventually wrote a torrent of articles. Less than a week later, in response to these stunning events, SOPA and PIPA, its counterpart in the Senate, were tabled (see "SOPA Battle Won, but War Continues"). The victory hinged on its broad base of support cultivated by hackers and geeks. The participation of corporate giants like Google, respected Internet personalities like Jimmy Wales, and the civil liberties organization EFF was crucial to its success. But the geek and hacker contingent was palpably present, and included, of course, Anonymous. Since 2008, activists have rallied under this banner to initiate targeted demonstrations, publicize various wrongdoings, leak sensitive data, engage in digital direct action, and provide technology assistance for revolutionary movements. As part of the SOPA protests, Anonymous churned out videos and propaganda posters and provided constant updates on several prominent Twitter accounts, such as Your Anonymous News, which are brimming with followers. When the blackout ended, corporate players naturally receded from the limelight and went back to work. Anonymous and others, however, continue to fight for Internet freedoms. In fact, just the next day, on January 18, 2012, federal authorities orchestrated the takedown of the popular file-sharing site MegaUpload. The company's gregarious and controversial founder Kim Dotcom was also arrested in a dramatic early morning raid in New Zealand. The removal of this popular website was received ominously by Anonymous activists: it seemed to confirm that if bills like SOPA become law, censorship would become a far more common fixture on the Internet. Even though no court had yet found Kim Dotcom guilty of piracy, his property was still confiscated and his website knocked off the Internet. As soon as the news broke, Anonymous coordinated its largest distributed denial of service campaign to date. It took down a slew of websites, including the homepage of Universal Music, the FBI, the U.S. Copyright Office, the Recording Industry Association of America, and the Motion Picture Association of America. Just a few weeks later, in Europe, as massive online and offline demonstrations, notably in Denmark and Poland, were unfolding to protest ACTA, another international copyright agreement, Anonymous again appeared (see "Europeans Protest Anti-Piracy Treaty"). After the Polish government agreed to ratify ACTA, Anonymous took down a slew of government websites and publicized street protests sweeping Krakow. Soon after, the left-leaning Polish Party, Palikot's Movement Party, adopted the signature Anonymous symbol, the Guy Fawkes masks, wearing them during a parliamentary session to protest ACTA. Amidst this and many other outcries, the European Union scrapped this proposed law in July 2012. So powerful was Anonymous in these events that a few weeks after they passed, I received a call from a venture capitalist involved with organizing the SOPA protests. He wanted to learn more about how Anonymous operated and whether its participants could be harnessed a little more directly. The beauty and frustration of Anonymous lies in an unruly and unpredictable spontaneity—as they like to boast, "We are not your personal army." But his intuition—that they were an important part of the mix—was correct. One key ingredient to the success of Anonymous lies in its participatory nature, especially when compared to spheres of hacker action where technical skill is a prerequisite for participation (and often respect). Skilled hackers are indeed vital to Anonymous's networks—they set up communication infrastructure and grab most of the headlines—for instance, when they hack into servers to search for information on government or corporate corruption. Hacking, however, still remains one tool of many (and some Anonymous subgroups oppose hacking and defacing). There is other work to be done: stirring press releases to write, propaganda posters to design, and videos to edit. Geeks and hackers may have different skills sets, but they are often traveling companions online, ingesting similar news, following similar geeky cultural currents, and defending Internet freedom, although using distinct methods and styles of organizing. The depth, extent, and especially diversity of this geek political movement was made evident to me just recently, not at an official political event but at a memorial service that doubled as an informal political rally. Over a thousand people gathered in New York City's regal Cooper Union Hall to honor Aaron Swartz, a hacker and self-proclaimed activist who had recently taken his own life, some say due to government overreach in his federal case concerning the legality of downloading millions of academic articles from MIT's library website (see "Why Aaron Swartz's Ideas Matter"). They spoke about Aaron's life, quirky personality, and especially his political accomplishments and aspirations. Like his peers, he abhorred censorship, and thus naturally joined the fight against SOPA; the service featured snippets of his famous keynote address at the Freedom to Connect conference from May 2012, when Swartz said, "It was really stopped by the people themselves." He had been instrumental in fundamental ways, for he had founded an organization, Demand Progress, a nonprofit that had effectively harnessed this citizen discontent over SOPA through petitions and other campaigns. Unlike Anonymous, which has no single mission, physical address, or official spokesperson, Demand Progress is an institution with a board and executive director located in the heart of political power, Washington, D.C. Although it channels, quite effectively, grassroots activities in the service of protecting civil liberties, a contained group can coördinate action with deliberation and precision. Clearly geeks and hackers are behind distinct modalities of political organizing, willing to deploy a diverse array of tactics. Demand Progress, along with the prominence of the Pirate Party in Western Europe, demonstrates the willingness of geeks and hackers to work within existing institutional channels. And all signs point to this type of traditional political activity becoming more common. But it will likely exist alongside the loosely organized acts of disobedience, defiance, and protests that have also become more frequent and visible in the last few years, in large part thanks to Anonymous. But on that Saturday afternoon, any differences were largely cast aside in favor of standing united in grief, in commemoration, especially in the conviction that the battle to preserve civil liberties has really only just begun.
Man Convicted of #Hacking Despite Not Hacking | #Anonymous #OpAngel
Culminating a two-week trial in which no hacking in the traditional sense occurred, a California man was convicted Wednesday under the same hacking statute internet sensation Aaron Swartz was accused of before he committed suicide in January.
Defendant David Nosal was convicted by a San Francisco federal jury on all six charges ranging from theft of trade secrets to hacking, despite him never breaking into a computer. Nosal remains free pending sentencing later this year, when he faces a potential lengthy prison term.
Nosal, a middle-aged man wearing a dark suit, sat stone faced as a clerk read "guilty" on all counts. Jurors deliberated for little more than two days.
After U.S. District Judge Edward Chen dismissed the 12-member jury, Nosal's defense team demanded a hearing to urge the judge to set aside the verdict. A hearing was set for later this year.
"We think, legally, these counts can't stand," Steven Gruel, a Nosal lawyer, said outside the courtroom. Prosecutors declined comment.
Nosal's prosecution was a novel application of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, the same statue Swartz was accused of violating when he allegedly breached security controls of an MIT database and downloaded millions of JSTOR academic articles. After Swartz's death, the case set off calls across the nation to reform the 1984 hacking law and perhaps even reduce the 5-year terms each violation carries.
But unlike Swartz, Nosal never was accused of traditional hacking. Among other things, what the jury concluded was that he coaxed, sometimes through monetary payments, his former colleagues at Los Angeles-based executive search firm Korn/Ferry International to access the firm's proprietary database and provide him with trade secrets to help him build a competing firm. Those associates cooperated with the government and were not charged.
The Computer Fraud and Abuse Act was passed in 1984 to enhance the government's ability to prosecute hackers who accessed computers to steal information or to disrupt or destroy computer functionality.
The act makes it a federal offense if one "knowingly and with intent to defraud, accesses a protected computer without authorization, or exceeds authorized access, and by means of such conduct furthers the intended fraud and obtains anything of value, unless the object of the fraud and the thing obtained consists only of the use of the computer and the value of such use is not more than $5,000 in any 1-year period." Prison penalties are up to 5 years per violation.
Nosal's case has had a lengthy history, with two trips to the San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. A third trip is likely and perhaps the Supreme Court might weigh in to set boundaries around how far the government may go in prosecuting so-called hacking.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, ruling in Nosal's case for a second time last year, decided that employees may not be prosecuted under the anti-hacking statute for simply violating their employer's computer use policy. The appeals court had tossed several charges against Nosal stemming from when he was a still a Korn/Ferry employee, in which he was accused of using his work credentials in 2005 to access his employer's database to help build a competing business for himself.
To be sure, the government indeed levies charges under the anti-hacking statute targeting traditional hackers. Two California men, for example, were sentenced between two and four years Monday in an extortion scheme stemming from the hacking of e-mail accounts of professional poker players.
But clearly, you don't have to be a hacker to be charged as one.
An online social media editor for the Reuters news agency, for example, was indicted last month for allegedly helping members of Anonymous hack another media organization's network.
Matthew Keys, the now-fired 26-year-old deputy social media editor for Reuters in New York, allegedly provided log-in credentials for a server owned by the Tribune Company, his former employer. He encouraged members of Anonymous to use the credentials to "go fuck some shit up," according to prosecutors.

Puddy looks like a giant, no?
Still sitting so, so oddly. I love it. Also will this thing ever grow some knees?
Swoon. You can barely tell she's the devil.
Is she a French Bulldog or something else?
Those earbuds that come with your iPhone will make you go deaf and contribute to noise pollution on the subways. Time for you to invest in some Beats by Dr. Dre or some Bose.
it's wet and humid and about…90 degrees in nyc. i don't really love big sticky headphones clasped to my ears
i love bose. my go-to airport headphones!
and also, it's a fact that beats by dre are the loudest headphones out there — for everyone in a 10 yard radius of whoever is using them.
Puddy looks so comfy in the bed with John. He looks like such a sweet dog. Pippa cracks me up. She's too cute.
Chrissy you gave 3 lovebugs who adore you!!!
Awww Her little back legs are adorable!!!
Cute little family! You guys should have a family photo shoot! i LOVE pipps back legs so adorable!
Have fun in my hometown Chicago! Hope to see u guys walking the streets!
You're an adorable family! Do you take your babies with you every time you travel? That must be a lot of work!!
Chrissy! I am a big fan of you and your, blog and your twitter feed, even though I am not even on Twitter. Weird, I know. Butttttttt the point is I am from Chicago and I know exactly where you need to eat while you are there. Food is one of my things so I thought I'd throw out a few suggestions and hopefully you can enjoy some of the deliciousness my home city has to offer you.
If you have time, you must go to the Publican for brunch. It's absolutely incredible (great for dinner as well) but their brunch is spectacular. They have a side of maple soaked bacon that's really a massive slab of delicious ham with maple syrup that is out of this world. Red-wine poached eggs with prosciutto and arugula are a must as well and they also serve french fries with a fried egg on top that is incredible. The owner also owns an awesome, super casual, mexican taco restaurant called Big Star that has a great outdoor patio with a very cool scene and is delicious. Carnitas tacos, guac and their agave margs are a must. Finally, Le Colonial has incredible French-Vietnamese food with a very cool setting and you can also sit upstairs, everything is light and fresh and super flavorful. I think there's one in NY as well. These are just a few recommendations, let me know if you ever want any more recs for Chicago or my adopted city of DC!
I looooove your puppies!! Pippa's sitting pose is the best (obviously), and Puddy is so….lovable Thank you for sharing these pics.
Ahaha, that's so funny, Puddy does look huge! & John is very brave having his face so close to Puddy's back end!
too freaking cute, i love Pipa aka devil. my dog sits the same way, i love it!
Can I just say that Puddy always has a "Really? Again?" face in his photos. It sincerely makes my life. lol.
Love your blog, Chrissy! My sister and I started following a few days ago and we love your down to earth attitude and awesome recipes (Also, I love your dress in the picture where Puddy is sitting on you! Where did you get it?)
You got me into considering the nagging requestss for a puppy.
Unparalleled accuracy, unequivocal clarity, and uendnaible importance!
Your french bulldog and mine could be twins, he's about 4 months old and also a little devil. From about 7-8 at night he's a terror, we call it "the Cujo hour" He loves chomping on finger & toes. Just started following your blog a week or so ago, love it!
- Emily
Damn it, Chrissy. You're gorgeous, your man's beautiful, Puddy's adorable, and Pippa is cute as a button. Can you post a disgusting recipe or something? All of this wonderfulness is pissing me right the fuck off!
i fail all the time. do not worry!
Your life is better than mine.
I really enjoy reading your blog and tweets. I really look up to you as a beautiful women who isn't afraid to eat and be happy! I'm a teenage girl and I really hope I can be like you one day

Completely agree that they don't always put it together in every race, but...
...PSU could throw down a pretty sick time at Penn Relays this year. West/Creese/Kidder/Loxsom is quite the add-up when you look at their PRs. Having Watkins as a potential alternate doesn't hurt.
|Opinionated guy
Keep in mind that indoor 300 meter tracks and banked 200 meter tracks have actually become far faster than most outdoor situations. It is not unusual in the past few years for athletes to put down marks indoor that they do not approach outdoor. I don't pretend to know a conversion, nor do I want to start that type of crap, but if Loxsom ran 1:49 or 1:50 on a flat 200 track the first week of January it would not raise eybrows. With the super fast tracks, PSU being one of them, everyone sees 1:46.9 and think 1:42 is just around the corner. It might be, but these fast indoor tracks give many false indicators of things to come. His NCAA competition may come from guys who have not run on the lightning tracks and have stayed under the radar giving the perception that he struggles. Due to the advancement of indoor tracks, Cain's 9:02 or Loxsom's 1:46 are no longer indicators that something phenominal is coming.
|old coach man
I see what you are trying say but I have to disagree. A properly trained athlete should run faster in May or June and outdoor not indoor. 80 degrees and clear air on nice mondo with wide turns trumps indoor air quality, tight turns on a bank. I do think folks come into indoor with great fitness but lose to the winter grind.
|Check Your Facts???
So - Old Coach Man - as I look down Penn State's top 10 performances in the 800 of all time and looking at performances from recent years - I see Cas Loxsom on the list with a 1:45.28 performance from July. I see Ryan Foster with a 1:46.78 from NCAA's in June. I see Sam Borchers with a 1:46.85 run in June. I see Mark Miller with a 1:47.83 from May. I also see Ryan Foster on the 1500 list with a 3:39 from July, Owen Dawson with a 3:42 from late April and Robby Creese with a 3:42 from May.
So - per your logic of being a properly trained athlete running faster in May or June would be right on the mark here as these performances are in the top ten of all time at a school that has a great history in the middle distance events.
|george oscar bluth
No one in the history of the world has ever thought that.
|Bruin boy
So a banked 200m track helps the 800m. With the exception of the first turn, the race is run in lane 1...not banked in lane 1. For the 200 and 400 you are right. Not 800m
|opinionated guy
I'm glad my exaggeration to make a point was not lost on anyone.
Bruin, there is an obvious advantage in running on a hydraulically banked track over 800. I have this discussion every January. Compare times from the hydraulic 200 meter banked and 300 meter tracks to 200 flat tracks. There is a big difference. Watch the rest of the season how many athletes do not approach their times from these facilities. It will be more than you think. I hope Loxsom is not one of them.
|Older Coach Man
How did those runners do at NCAA? EOT......
|Bunch of
What's your PR?
|Fred Gwynne
Check your facts- You are wasting your time trying to explain facts to some of these posters. Cas Loxsom has been making a name for himself since the first time he stepped on the track at PSU. These people that bash him or the team would never even be in the same heat as him or the others at a meet. They like to point out that he never won at the NCAA's like it is that easy. I'm sure Old man coach has had several runners win NCAA championships.
I really don't understand why people on a running site wouldn't wish the best for all runners, especially runners in college that are 18- 22 years of age.
|Older Coach Man
Has he made a name for himself when it counts? You know the answer...... 3 years, 6 nationals, most of them he went in with one of the fastest times. Where are the results?
|kinder, gentler
Most people wish the best for all runners WHEN IT COUNTS. the Pen State MD crew has a history running fast times on their home track then not showing up at the big dance. Epic coaching fail.
|Fred Gwynne
3x big ten champion in 800, 3x 2nd team all american, 2011 outdoor first team all american, school record holder in 800, part of the 4x800 penn relays winning team. I know to a great athlete like yourself if you don't win the championships it means nothing.
You could not carry his jock. Post some of your accomplishments someday so we can see how great you are.
|old coach man
Thanks for the stats Fred.
Do you think the program has had awesome , average or below average championship meets in the past 3 years?
|Don't Forget
Don't forget - USA Junior Champ over Robby Andrews. World Junior Silver Medalist over Robby Andrews - first medal ever for the US at World Juniors in any mid-distance or distance event for the men. USA Champs Finalist. USA #6 ranking in 2011. World University Games 4th place finisher. Three times at 1:45 in June in 2011. Significant iron issues not detected till late last year which affected his season.
How many National Championships has Greer won? He has only made the finals in 2 of the 5 NCAA meets he has been in and he was a 1:47 guy in HS. And the list can go on in regard to studs who have not won the NCAA.
The NCAA meet - where they cut down from 24 to 8 in the semi's is one of the hardest and cut-throat competitions in the world.
|Some facts..:
Every year the same argument! Show me a middle distance team that doesn't bomb on occasions - even the Kenyan national squad does. I'll concede that Loxsom hadn't been great at NCAA, but people have been espousing this opinion on PSU for years!
These are from memory but pretty accurate I think...
Nationals - All results.
2009 indoors - dmr: 9th
2009 outdoors - 800: Foster, 8th
2010 indoors - 800: Foster, 3rd; Dawson 8th; Williams 11th, Loxsom 15th
2010 outdoors - 800: Loxsom 11th; Foster 22nd
2011 indoor - 800: Loxsom 15th; mile: Foster 3rd
2011 outdoor - 800: Loxsom 4th, Botchers 9th; 1500: Foster DQ
2012 indoor - 800: Loxsom 10th (?); Creese 10th
2012 outdoor - 800: Loxsom 10th
Big Ten notable performances.
2009 indoor - 600: Williams 2nd - 800: Foster 1st; Dawson 2nd
2009 outdoor - 800: Foster 1st, Dawson 3rd, Williams 4th
2010 indoor - 600: Loxsom 2nd, 800: Foster 1st, dmr - 3rd
2010 outdoor - 800: Loxsom 1st, 1500: Borchers 4th
2011 indoor - 600: Loxsom 2nd, 800: Foster 1st
2011 outdoor - 800: Loxsom 1st; 1500: Foster 2nd
2012 indoor - 800: Loxsom 5th (?); Mile: Creese 3rd, dmr 1st
2012 outdoor - 800: Loxsom 1st, 1500: Creese 3rd
Haha, 'old coach man' should be 'old little man'. Your measures are 'awesome, average or below average'? PSU's championship meets have been way above 'below average', certainly above 'average', maybe not quite 'awesome'. So let's just call it 'well above average'. Would you agree? Of course it would be helpful to know what you call average, and what you have accomplished as coach, and whether you yourself are average or not. I'm guessing you'll just come back with a shot at PSU : )
|Oregon Mallard
Let's Run posters spend their lives dissing great athletes. Cas isn't the first and isn't the last who will get the business from the a..holes who post here. Rupp, Wheating, Robbie, all of them have been beat up by the lightweights who get their jollies here.
|Herman Munster
What you are saying is that he went into NCAAs 6 times with one of the fastest runners in the field and finished 4th ONCE and din't make the final 5 times, giving him that dubious 3x-kissing-his-sister-All-America.

You'll probably never get complete buy-in. The key battle is to get buy-in from the top. Deans, department heads, etc.
will have to drive enforcement. Once the policy is signed off from on high, it can just become a regular part of the
standard desktop configuration. We've had this in place for some time now and we still get complaints. Sell leadership
on the idea, get their backing and then use them to help spread the word.
When it comes time for TEA, emphasize the idea that the logout/screensaver policies help protect the user from being

Are you still worried about what gifts are best suited for your friends? Do you want to choose something creative to express your sincere wishes? With economic development, people now have more sophisticated requirements for presents. Gifts that can not only express best wishes but are also full of clever ideas are coming into sight.
Lots of my friends want to print their favorite pictures and cartoon characters on some small ornaments. People who are keen on DIY also wish to make their own electronic products using home-made PCBs. Due to these demands, the idea of making a laser engraving machine came into my mind. The machine is made almost completely from wasted materials, which not only saves money but also puts the concept of "resource recycling and reuse" into practice. However, the first generation of my laser-engraving machine can only satisfy the need of printing personalized pictures, but not etching the PCB. Thus, I expanded the machine frame size to create the second generation and came up with an innovative method of PCB etching, broadening the machine's uses.
The machine is made from discarded CD-drives and printers – either taken from wasted home appliances or bought from the second-hand market for a few RMB. I will show my print work at the end.
许多身边的朋友也希望能够把自己喜欢的图形,动漫人物打印在一些小挂饰上,而DIY爱好者则更希望能够在家里自制pcb来制作一些属于自己的电子作品。基于这些需求,我萌生了制作激光雕刻机的想法。全套机器几乎都采用废弃材料,这一方面节约经费,另一方面践行了资源循环利用的理念。但是,第一代激光雕刻机只能满足打印个性图案的需求,却无法满足腐蚀电路板的需求,所以我在第二代产品中对机架进行扩大,并且创新性的提出了腐蚀电路板的方法,使机器的用途更加的广泛。 这个是我利用废旧光驱和废弃的打印机做的,都是从家里报废的东西上拆的或者是几块钱从二手市场买到的,最后我将附上我的打印作品
Step 1: Demo Video 演示视频
This is a demonstration of the engraving process.
Step 2: (first generation) Using the CD drives – dissemble the wasted drive and take down the laser and stepping motor
The first step is to dissemble the wasted CD drives, taking the stepping motors and laser heads from them. The last picture shows the laser head after disassembly.
Step 3: (first generation) Assemble the circuits and the drive frames
This is my first-generation product, using the wasted CD drives and Arduino.
Let's start assembling! This is the specific making process: solder the circuit board by Arduino Nano and a4988 stepper driver; use the waste wood slats and the disassembled drives' stepping motors. Wood is not only easy for making changes, even with a saw or utility knife, but also environment-friendly. Always remember to keep the stepping motors on the x and y axes perpendicular to avoid printing crooked or skewed pictures.

Delhi heist: Mastermind identified, three arrested
Businessman Rajesh Kalra's office boy - who is a juvenile - is the mastermind behind the sensational Rs.7.69-crore heist in the national capital, police said Saturday. He has been detained and three of his accomplices arrested.
Raids were also being conducted to nab at least six of his accomplices, police said.
Special Commissioner of Police (Special Cell and Training) S.N. Shrivastava said the accused have been identified as Gulzar, Tilak and Praveen, who live in Chattarpur area in south Delhi.
"Three people were arrested from different parts of the city and Rs.1.5 crore has so far been recovered," another police officer told IANS.
Shrivastava said the plot was unearthed during interrogation of Kalra's employees and on the basis of "other crucial information".
A group of people robbed Rs.7.69 crore in cash from Kalra near Lajpat Nagar in south Delhi and hijacked the car in which he was going with four other employees Tuesday morning.
The 17-year-old office boy, a resident of south Delhi's Madangir, was in Kalra's Honda City car Tuesday, but was constantly misleading police by providing false information.
He, however, broke down when confronted with evidence Thursday.
He also revealed about being aware of Kalra's monetary transactions and contacting a criminal named Shakti Naidu to plan the heist, police said.
Naidu, who was arrested in a bank robbery case in 2002, roped in a criminal named Pradeep from northwest Delhi's Karala village, who then approached at least nine others.
Once the gang was in place, they drew an elaborate map of the route taken by Kalra's employees to transfer cash in the Honda City car.
"They also did a recce of the route Jan 24. Then the entire heist was planned in detail, including the interception point and escape routes," Shrivastava added.
The juvenile was the one who was passing on information to the gang.
On Monday, he tipped off the gang that a huge amount of money was scheduled to be transported Tuesday.
In the Honda City car, the boy was using five mobile phone numbers to inform the gang through text messages about the movement of the car.
The probe further revealed that three cars were used by the accused in the crime - a Maruti WagonR, Hyundai Verna and a Volkswagen Jetta.
While the WagonR and Verna were found abandoned on the day of the heist, the accused revealed that the cash was taken away in the Jetta car owned by Shakti Naidu.
Police are yet to recover the Jetta.

As residents and taxpayers of the South Shore, we've learned the importance of the hospitality industry and depend on its positive impact to the economy. We can also see the difference when travel decreases, occupancy rates go down, once-thriving restaurants close and parking lots become vacant. The hospitality industry and visitor spending has a direct impact on the services offered and the quality of life in our community.
Visitors to the South Shore come for a variety of reasons: meetings and sporting events are a major part of the hospitality industry, filling hotel rooms and bringing millions of dollars to the local economy.
Leisure travelers make up another portion of the industry, coming here purely as a getaway or visiting friends and relatives (VFR). During a leisure visit, these travelers will spend their money at an array of attractions, restaurants and shopping centers.
Visitors are hard to pick out. They look just like us; you never know when you're standing in line or sitting in a restaurant and the person next to you is from out-of-town.
We are the first to take for granted the numerous attractions, events and activities available in the South Shore. Having the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore and Indiana Dunes State Park, five lakefront casinos, nationally recognized festivals, unique attractions and even Chicago just a short drive away are all reasons why we choose to live here and people visit Northwest Indiana.
The South Shore Convention and Visitors Authority and a dozen participating partners will be hosting a first-time event, Explore the South Shore, on May 14. The Indiana Welcome Center in Hammond will host a variety of organizations to showcase what they will be offering to visitors and residents in 2011.
Each partner featured will offer a sampling of what can be expected this travel season including live entertainment, train rides, giveaways, mascots, classic cars, an inflatable bounce house and even live animals. It will be a fun event for residents of all ages.
As gas prices rise, families won't be planning as many trips to Disney World and will stay close to home. This is the perfect time to rediscover the wonderful activities, attractions and events the South Shore has to offer.

Reproduction is the biological process by which existing organisms give rise to their offspring. Reproduction can be of two types – Sexual mode and Asexual mode
Sexual mode of reproduction: This type of reproduction involves two organisms, the male and the female. Reproductive organs in humans produce gametes - eggs and sperms. A zygote, the future individual is formed by the fusion of an egg and a sperm.
Reproductive organs
- Male reproductive organs include a pair of testes, two sperm ducts, and a penis.Testes produce sperms, the male gametes. Sperms have a head, a middle piece and a tail. Sperms contain cell membrane, cytoplasm and nucleus.
- The female reproductive organs consist of a pair of ovaries, two oviducts also called fallopian tubes, and the uterus. The ovary produces female gametes called ova or eggs.
Copulation is the act in which a male reproductive organ enters the female reproductive tract to discharge the male gametes.
Fertilisation is the fusion of male and female gametes to give rise to a single cell – zygote. Fertilisation can be external fertilisation or internal fertilisation.
- When male and female gametes unite outside the body, it is called external fertilisation
- When fertilisation takes place inside the body, it is called internal fertilisation.
- When fertilisation takes place in a test tube, the offspring are called test tube babies.
- Fertilisation that takes place outside the human body is in-vitro fertilisation.
Zygote, the super cell marks the beginning of a new individual. The zygote divides repeatedly to form a ball of cells making an embryo.
Embryo gets embedded in the wall of uterus, part of the female reproductive system. The development of the embryo takes place in the mother's uterine wall. All parts of the body start developing in an embryo which finally transforms itself into foetus.
Reproduction in plants:
Stamens, the male reproductive organs give rise to male gametes, the pollen grains. Ovary, the female reproductive organ contains the female gametes, the ovules.
Pollination is the process in which pollen grains fall on to the stigma of the pistil.
Fertilisation is the process in which the male gamete fuses with the female gamete.
The nuclei of the pollen and that of ovule fuse to form a zygote. Fertilised ovules transform into seeds.

"It's All In Your Head"
I suppose I'm ready for Halloween? I decided to experiment with a different way to use the materials this time and I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out ヽ(´▽`)/ ! I also added some close ups of this too.
Graphite and gouache on Arches watercolor paper! And really, I'm not this twisted…And special thanks to Micco for helping me stretch the concept! She told me the old tradition of carrying a portrait of your lover's eye from the 18th Century during the Georgian period and I elaborated on that by having the girl wearing her supposed lover's eyeball. And she will forever has his heart…
I'll stop here before people begin to think poorly of me and my mental status.
