Weird Condoleeza Rice Photo Album Found in Gadhafi's Compound
When rebels stormed Moammar Gadhafi's compound recently, they found some unusual things that revealed a lot about the Libyan leader. The most interesting item? An album containing dozens of photos of Condoleeza Rice, indicating he might have had a bit of a schoolboy crush on the former US Secretary of State.
There weren't any hearts drawn around her pictures or "Mr. Moammar Rice" scrawled in cursive, but Gadhafi did once tell al-Jazeera television, "I support my darling black African woman. I admire and am very proud of the way she leans back and gives orders to the Arab leaders … Leeza, Leeza, Leeza. … I love her very much. I admire her and I'm proud of her because she's a black woman of African origin."
Aw. Brutal dictators are so cute at that age. Check out some shots of the album on MSNBC.

My Dad tells me that when I was a baby, my parents called me "Peaches and Cream." I was born with peach fuzz on my head and my skin was creamy white. I often call my son "Sweet Pea." Thank goodness it has nothing to do with his skin or hair being a pale green – scary!
Groom 3.0 requested more cupcakes with fruit. Dutifully listening to his request, I decided to give these seasonally-inappropriate peaches and cream cupcakes a go (with canned peaches) so that they could be in the running for Bride and Groom 3.0's May wedding.
The petite slice of peach perched on the rim of these cupcakes makes me happy. It's so bright and cheery! Truly, I could skip the cupcake entirely and just eat a bowl of peaches -perhaps with some cottage cheese. But, this is a cupcake blog, so cupcakes it is – airy vanilla cupcakes with hints of peach, topped with a vanilla buttercream frosting accented with peach jam.
Peaches and Cream Cupcake Recipe
To make these peaches and cream cupcakes, I used the vanilla sour cream cupcake recipe from Seriously Simple Holidays by Diane Rossen Worthington with peach jam blended in. (View on Amazon)
Peaches and Cream Cupcakes
Cupcake Ingredients
- 1 1/4 C flour
- 1/2 t baking powder
- 1/4 t baking soda
- 1/4 t salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 C sugar
- 1/2 C unsalted butter room temperature
- 1 1/2 t vanilla extract
- 1/2 C sour cream
- 2 C peach jam
Vanilla Peach Buttercream Frosting Ingredients
- 3 C confectioners' sugar add more until it reaches your preferred consistency
- 1 C unsalted butter room temperature
- 2 t vanilla bean paste
- 4 T peach jam try to find high quality jam with lots of real peach pieces or, if the season is right, make your own peach jam
Cupcake Instructions
- Mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium-sized bowl and set aside.
- In a large bowl, with an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the eggs and sugar for about 2 minutes, or until light and creamy.
- Add the butter and vanilla and beat on low speed for about 1 minute, or until well blended.
- Beat in the dry ingredients on low speed until blended.
- Add the sour cream and beat until smooth and well blended.
- Mix in peaches and cream or peach jam.
- Divide batter evenly among 12 cupcake liners.
- Bake at 350 F for about 23 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean and the tops are firm.
Vanilla Peach Buttercream Frosting Instructions
- Mix together sugar and butter until they are blended and creamy.
- Add vanilla bean paste and continue to beat for another minute.
- Mix in peach jam until just combined.

… in moderation of course. Yoga and Wine, my two faves.
Don't believe me? Take this source from Yale-New Haven Hospital!:
A glass of red wine a day keeps the doctor away
Is red wine the fountain of youth or a potent poison? Is enjoying a glass of red wine with dinner each evening beneficial to your health? Current research suggests that a glass of red wine each day may be providing you with more than just a little relaxation.
What are the health benefits of drinking red wine?
For over 10 years, research has indicated that moderate intake of alcohol improves cardiovascular health. In fact, in 1992 Harvard researchers included moderate alcohol consumption as one of the "eight proven ways to reduce coronary heart disease risk." However, research has suggested that specifically red wine is the most beneficial to your heart health. The cardioprotective effect has been attributed to antioxidants present in the skin and seeds of red grapes.
Scientists believe the antioxidants, called flavonoids, reduce the risk of coronary heart disease in three ways:
by reducing production of low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (also know as the "bad" cholesterol)
by boosting high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (the good cholesterol)
by reducing blood clotting. Furthermore, consuming a glass of wine along with a meal may favorably influence your lipid profiles following that meal
Recently, researchers have found that moderate red wine consumption may be beneficial to more than just your heart. One study found that the antioxidant resveratrol, which is prevalent in the skin of red grapes, may inhibit tumor development in some cancers. Another study indicated that resveratrol aided in the formation of nerve cells, which experts believe may be helpful in the treatment of neurological diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
Which wines should you consume to reap the most benefits?
Researchers at the University of California, at Davis tested a variety of wines to determine which types have the highest concentrations of flavonoids. Their results concluded that the flavonoid favorite is Cabernet Sauvignon, followed closely by Petit Syrah and Pinot Noir. Both Merlots and red zinfandels have fewer flavonoids than their more potent predecessors. White wine had significantly smaller amounts than the red wine varieties. The bottom line is the sweeter the wine, the fewer the flavonoids. Dryer red wines are your best bet for a flavonoid boost.
How much red wine should I drink?
A four-ounce glass of wine is equivalent to one serving. Men will benefit from consuming one to two servings per day. Women should consume only one serving per day to reap the maximum benefits. This is not to say that you should start drinking alcohol if you presently do not. Occasional or binge drinkers have higher mortality rates than those who drink moderately on a regular basis. In those who consume three or more drinks per day, there is an increased risk for elevated serum triglycerides (fat in the bloodstream). Long-term, excessive alcohol consumption can damage nerve cells, the liver and the pancreas. Heavy drinkers are also at risk for malnutrition, as alcohol may substitute for more nutritious foods.
What if I have other health problems?
Recommendations to consume moderate amounts of wine are limited to individuals with a clean bill of health. It is clear that people with medical and social conditions worsened by alcohol should not consume any alcohol at all. Hypertryglyceridemia, pancreatitis, liver disease, uncontrolled hypertension, depression and congestive heart failure are diseases that may be worsened by alcohol. Those individuals at risk for these conditions should consult with their physician before consuming any alcohol at all.
What about grape juice and non alcoholic red wine?
In 1997, researchers at the University of Wisconsin concluded that purple grape juice also reduced blood clotting. Another study by researchers at University of California at Davis, confirmed the findings that non alcoholic red wine contains the same antioxidant profile as red wine. However in a 1998 study, Japanese researchers found that while grape juice still had antioxidative benefits, it did not significantly lower LDL cholesterol levels compared to red wine.
The debate continues on whether it is the components of the wine, the way the wine is consumed, or the lifestyle traits that is the most responsible for the long healthy lives of many wine drinkers. However, the evidence seems clear that regular, moderate consumption of red wine is beneficial to your health. So here's a toast to your health! Cheers

Statesmen mount miraculous second half comeback in 59-53 win over No.3 Alabama-Hunstville
By Herb Brooks, DSU Athletics
Box Score
HUNTSVILLE, Ala. – A miraculous second half comeback lifted the Delta State men's basketball team to a 59-53 upset over the No.3 University of Alabama-Huntsville Chargers inside Spragins Hall on Saturday, Jan. 12. The win marks the first Gulf South Conference victory of the 2012-13 season for the Statesmen and first career GSC victory for first year head coach Jim Boone.
The last time a visiting came away victorious against the Chargers inside Spragins Hall was on November 28, 2011 at the hands of Harding University. The loss tonight ended a 20-game home winning streak for UAH.
The Statesmen jumped out to a hot start by reeling off a 12-3 run at beginning of the game against the Chargers. Matt Allbritton led the charge offensively connecting on two three-pointers, while the Green-and-White defense held UAH to just 2-14 shooting from the floor during that time.
Pre-season All-American Jaime Smith broke Alabama-Huntsville out of the slump connecting on three free-throws, bringing the score to 12-6, after being bailed out with one second left on the shot clock.
The Chargers raced out to a 27-16 lead to close the opening half of play on the 4-of-8 shooting from Wayne Dedrick. Dedrick led all scorers in the first half with 10 points.
Allbritton paced the Statesmen in the first half with eight points on 3-of-6 shooting from the floor and a pair of three pointers.
The Statesmen have struggled throughout the year plagued with slow starts and numerous untimely turnovers but tonight was not that kind of night. The Green-and-White chipped away at the Charger lead in chunks until Ryan Smith nailed a jumper at the 8:39 mark to tie the ball game at 43-43, then knocked down a pair of free-throws to take the lead 45-43 with 6:14 remaining.
Delta State did not look back converting 14-of-24 (.583) from the field and 13-of-17 (.765) from the free throw line in the second half to clinch the win.
Terry Leake, Jr. paced the offense with his sixth double-double of the season at 16 points and 11 rebounds, while Smith followed closely with 15 points and five rebounds. Allbritton tallied 10 points with freshman Jack Madgen closing out with 13 points and seven rebounds.
The Statesmen return home to Walter-Sillers Coliseum on Thursday, Jan.17 at 7 p.m. to take on the University of West Florida.

The Alfa Romeo 75 (Milano in the US) was so named in celebration of the company's 75th anniversary. It was also, coincidentally the last model released before Alfa was absorbed by Fiat. Today's Nice Price or Crack Pipe Milano is only 26, but is its price still worth celebrating?
Teddy Roosevelt famously ascribed to speaking softly whilst carrying a big stick, a maxim which he claimed was originally a West African proverb. Yesterday's rare and raring to go 1943 Grizzly tank was a big enough stick that you could conceivably remain completely speechless. Fortunately, that wasn't the case in the vote, the Canadian-built WWII-era tank coming away with a solid 57% Nice Price win.
Italy's role in WWII was complicated - part of the country falling under Nazi occupation, the other part fighting alongside the Allies, and everyone complaining that you just can't get a good gelato during wartime. The city of Milan sits in the North, in the part of Italy that was at one time under Germany's thumb. Its namesake, the Alfa Romeo Milano, proves by reputation that everything from that occupation has been expunged, even the German aesthetic for bank vault-like build quality and durability.
Despite that history, this 1987 Alfa Milano Gold seems to in some ways buck the trend. Oh sure, the seller notes that not everything on the 126,000 mile car works - little things like the power steering and air con are on the fritz (see what I did there?) - but overall this Milano appears to be in remarkably good shape.
You're all aware of Jeremy Clarkson's admonition that one may not be a true automotive enthusiast until one has lived through the ownership of an Alfa. And, if you happened to catch Top Gear's Worst Car in the History of the World video, you'll know that Clarkson himself once owned a GTV6 that was such a dog it probably licked its own balljoints.
This Milano shares the same basic layout with the GTV6 - jewel-like V6 engine (here in 2.5-litre form) and a rear-mounted 5-speed transaxle ensconced within a De Dion rear end. Torsion bars spring the front, and overall the Milano maintains a reputation for handling and aural pleasures that is to be envied.
Looks on the other hand are not necessarily the Milano's strong suit, and it's good that it has a nice personality because these cars came from the era when Alfa equated styling with black plastic trim and discordant angles in the bodywork.
The overall look was never pretty, and hasn't aged all that well, IMHO. You may not concur, but one thing we can all agree upon is that the body on this one seems to perfectly serviceable with all of its trim intact and none of that rust that Italians typically love to dress their products in as a matter of course.
On the inside, things are also looking up, although if you do actually look up, you may notice the rip in the moon roof cover. Additionally, there's a crack in the dash and a tear in the center console, but the rest of the interior looks amazingly neat and tidy.
On the mechanical front there are those two looming issues with the A/C and the now Armstrong power steering that may require addressing if you don't want to spend your time with the car sweatin' to the oldies. The ad claims the car runs great, the 154-horse six and 5-speed transaxle apparently evidencing no significant issues as its promoted as a daily driver.
Sure there's probably a number of things you'd want to look at before purchase - the infamous driveshaft guibo, gearbox synchros, and valvetrain racket being notable pain points - but at least you won't have to worry about the breaks, as the seller notes those have been recently renewed.
The Milano represents a notable milestone in Alfa history, it being the last rear-driver the company released here in the States before packing their Gucci bags and bidding arrivederci amico mio. This Milano Gold may not be one of the 800 or so Verdes that came over with the 3.0, but then it's unlikely that you'd find a Verde in this condition commanding only $2,300.
Considering this particular car, what's your take on that $2,300 price? Does that make this as tasty a Milano as the ones that come from Pepperidge Farm? Or, does it just make this an Alfa dog?
You decide!

Breckenridge: Peak 6 construction to move forward this summer
summit daily news
Vail Resorts announced Tuesday that the planning and construction of the contentious 550-acre expansion on Peak 6 of Breckenridge Ski Resort will move forward this summer, with the added terrain to open for the 2013-2014 season.
"I look forward to moving forward with implementation," said Scott Fitzwilliams, the U.S. Forest Service White River National Forest supervisor who approved the expansion.
The ski resort plans to add two new lifts, a ski patrol/warming hut and a restroom facility. New terrain will encompass seven below-tree line trails – totaling roughly 68 acres – as well as about 339 acres of lift-served intermediate, advanced-intermediate and expert skiing above tree line. Approximately 143 acres of hike-to terrain will also be added.
The expansion will increase current acreage by 23 percent, adding more intermediate terrain, said Kristen Petitt-Stewart, spokeswoman for Breckenridge Ski Resort.

The Forest Service approved the project in August after completing an environmental impact study, a process which began in 2007.
The decision met with two appeals carrying endorsements by 45 individuals and environmental groups. The Forest Service, after reviewing the appeals, made the decision Nov. 30 to uphold the approval for the expansion.
"We are incredibly excited to move forward with planning the construction of the Peak 6 terrain this summer and to bring to fruition a 23 percent increase in Breckenridge's skiable acres for our guests," said Rob Katz, chairman and chief executive officer of Vail Resorts. "The expanded terrain will help significantly spread out the large crowds we see today and alleviate long lift lines. Further, our guests will be able to explore and enjoy an entirely new experience of high- alpine bowl skiing and riding at Peak 6."
Peak 6, located within Breckenridge Ski Resort's special use permit boundary, is the first ski terrain expansion on Forest Service land in Colorado since 2008. Breck expanded to offer Peak 7 terrain in 2002.
Those opposed to the expansion have argued the added terrain would have environmental impacts not justified by the need to ease overcrowding.
"Breckenridge is a brutally crowded ski resort," said Chad Zanca, a longtime Breck resident who says he regularly rides terrain off Peak 6. "To make it bigger and bring more people will only make it worse. Once this boundary is maxed out, where do they go next?"
Though Fitzwilliams said the region around Peak 6 is already unable to meet federal standards for lynx habitat, opponents of the expansion say easing overcrowding isn't a sufficient reason for further compromising the environmental quality of the area.
"Lynx habitat is going to be hurt by fragmenting the area they travel," Rocky Smith, environmentalist and former employee of Colorado Wild, said previously. "The Forest Service seems to think that since the habitat is already so bad it's OK to make it worse. It has been affected, no question, by the existing ski area. Right now it is impaired somewhat, but it's not severed. This expansion might sever it."
Fitzwilliams and researchers for the Forest Service looked at conservation efforts in the project area, but said they "found very few if any that would help lynx at all."

T-Mobile to Bake Free Malware Protection Into Many of Its Android Devices
T-Mobile plans to announce later on Wednesday a deal with Lookout to include some of that firm's mobile security features on its Android devices.
Automatic App Security, as the free product will be known, will have Lookout scan any downloaded app for potential threats and notify the user if there is anything to worry about. The product works automatically without any input from a user, though it can be uninstalled if a consumer wants to go with a different — or no — security software.
There will be a $2.99-per-month option for those who want to upgrade to Lookout's full security software, which also includes features to help find or erase a lost device, as well as additional privacy protections.
T-Mobile is slated to start including Automatic App Security on some Android phones next month, and plans to include it on most Android devices beginning in January.
The LG Optimus L9 and Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 will be the first devices to come with the new security software.

15.09.2017 - A selfie with a stamp
(sp) How can we transfer typical content from the digital world onto a stamp format? Students from Zurich University of the Arts and Swiss Post examined this question in a collaborative project entitled "Letter vs. e-mail". Amongst the numerous design ideas, the selfie stamp by the young designer, Nicole Jara Nizcardo, ultimately came out on top. This extraordinary A Mail stamp, issued on 7 September 2017, is coated with a silver film on which the viewer's reflection appears. The sheet of stamps with 20 selfie stamps is also presented in the shape of a tablet, creating the perfect example of the symbiosis between digital and analogue reality.

CEGUN: Campaign to End Genocide in Uganda Now
[On Rewarding Genocide]
A Questionable Choice: United Nations May Give Uganda Seat on UN
Security Council
The United Nations may soon elect a country convicted of war crimes
onto its most powerful organ, the UN Security Council.
The vote, which takes place on October 16, 2008, will likely be in
favor of granting Uganda a seat on the Council.
Rewarding a country which has violated the very same ideals of: peace,
respect for human rights and adherence to international law—all of
which the UN has pledged its responsibility to protect, puts all world
citizens in harm's way.
The world has turned a blind eye to the indictment of Uganda by the
International Court of Justice for war crimes in the Congo where an
estimated 7 million have died. Also ignored has been the forced
displacement in Northern Uganda of over 2 million mainly ethnic
Acholis for over 20 years into concentration camps called "protected
villages" by the Ugandan government.
In these "protected villages" the World Health Organization recorded
an excess rate of 1,000 deaths per week, (which is higher than both
Iraq and Darfur) and ordered the government to close them in 2005. The
camps are still open to this day, and people continue to die from
treatable diseases caused by the deadly conditions in the crowded
camps. Jan Egeland, a former UN official, described the crisis as the
"world's worst, forgotten humanitarian crisis."
A lesser-known fact is Uganda's involvement in the 1995 genocide in
Rwanda—troops invaded Rwanda in 1990, re-igniting deep-seated tensions
between the Hutus and Tutsis, eventually sparking the civil war.
The U.S. Congress passed a bill last week that criminalizes the use of
child soldiers, making it a triable offense in U.S. courts. Uganda was
one of the countries listed in the bill. Recent investigations by the
UN itself and the Coalition to Stop the Use of Child Soldiers found
the continued recruitment and use of children in the Ugandan
government's army.
In the past the human rights record of countries has not been taken
into consideration when evaluating non-permanent members of the UN
Security Council. However, in today's world where genocides and
conflicts within nations are rampant, the makeup of the Security
Council is more important than ever.
Rewarding Uganda with a seat on the UN Security Council despite its
human rights record and conviction for war crimes threatens to destroy
the authority and credibility of the United Nations as an enforcer and
protector of international law.

For the second time in two days, the B.C. Conservative Party has removed a candidate over comments it considered unacceptable.
Mischa Popoff, who was running in Boundary-Similkameen, lost his position Thursday night after The Vancouver Sun revealed statements from him deriding the Missing Women Inquiry as a waste of time and criticizing single mothers for having children "without a man by their side."
"Mr. Popoff's various comments were insensitive and disrespectful, particularly to women and single mothers who are, in fact, heroes to their children and their communities in many cases," said a party news release issued late Thursday.
" We are a party that believes in a respectful airing of views. Mr. Popoff's statements were unacceptable and he has been removed as a candidate."
On Wednesday, Ian Tootill was booted as the Tory candidate in Vancouver-False Creek over comments he posted on social media. The Sun had reported earlier that on his Twitter account last October, Tootill asked: "Who's really to blame? Hitler or the people who acted on his words?"
Popoff, nominated in March for the Okanagan riding, writes newspaper opinion pieces that appear regularly in Kelowna, Osoyoos and Vernon.
In March 2012, he wrote: "No one can blame a woman who experiences divorce or abandonment after having kids. The issue is with women who enter parenthood with their eyes wide open without a man by their side, either by using a man to get pregnant or through a sperm bank."
"In either case, unless they're very well off, the kids they bestow upon this world are headed for disaster. Why applaud, let alone condone this?"
On the Missing Women Inquiry, he wrote: "No one wants prostitutes to go missing. But guess what? They do, and no inquiry is going to change that."
In February of this year, the Osoyoos Times quoted him as appearing to argue in favour of people having assault rifles.
"I hope you understand we don't want just anyone to be able to buy a military grade assault rifle, but if trained to handle that, please tell me why is a policeman or a soldier any more qualified than you or me?"
In an interview Thursday, Popoff said the assault rifle comment was taken out of context, but that he stands by everything else he has said.
"In journalism, especially if you're a columnist, you better be provocative or else you might as well write recipes or do the food column," he said. "If you're not provocative, why bother writing?"
The party identifies Popoff in his online bio as a columnist and author of the book, Is it Organic? as well as a policy adviser at The Heartland Institute, a non-profit research agency established in Chicago in 1984 that aims to develop and promote free-market solutions to social and economic problems.
He's also a research associate with The Frontier Centre for Public Policy, which describes itself as an independent Western Canada-based public policy think-tank.
On guns, Popoff said he was using an example of Switzerland — where he said every person goes through military training and is able to keep their rifle — as an example of why long guns should be acceptable in Canada.
"That was an explanation of how people in completely peaceful countries like Israel, Norway and Switzerland — you're probably guaranteed there's a military assault rifle in every home," he said.
"I was just making that point, that we're worried (in Canada) about the long guns that farmers and hunters already have in their homes," he said, adding those weapons do not have the automatic capacity of assault rifles that can unload bullets in a steady stream.
Popoff stood by his comments on single mothers, saying he thinks women should be strongly discouraged from deliberately having children on their own.
"That's proven disastrous through demographics," he said.
"Rather than frown upon this or discourage it, it's celebrated. The single mom is a hero and that gets dangerous, I think."
On the Missing Women Inquiry, he said he believes judicial inquiries in Canada are "usually a waste of time."
"Inquiries in Canada can go on for years," he said, adding they are not allowed to assign blame.
"Give me a break. If there's someone to blame then blame them."
The B.C. Conservative Party did not respond to a request for comment. In March, when Popoff was nominated, leader John Cummins said Popoff and another candidate nominated on the same day, were "vitally interested in the future of our province, and they'll be exceptional representatives for their constituents in Victoria."
Boundary-Similkameen is held by former Liberal MLA John Slater, who is not running in the current election.
Here are excerpts of comments by Mischa Popoff:
Theresa Spence would in all likelihood face charges if it weren't for the accident of her birth. She makes just under $70,000 a year, tax free, as chief of the Attawapiskat Indian reserve, she pays her boyfriend $850 a day, also tax free, to be Attawapiskat's town manager, and between the two of them they can't seem to account for the better part of a whopping $90 million that her reserve has received since 2006.
But, like a spoiled member of a public-service union to whom the rules don't apply, Spence has decided to go on a fake hunger strike to draw attention to the plight of her people who, thanks in large part to her and her boyfriend, are forced to live in homes that should be condemned.
Kelowna Daily Courier, Jan. 21, 2013
I hope you understand we don't want just anyone to be able to buy a military grade assault rifle, but if trained to handle that, please tell me why is a policeman or a soldier any more qualified than you or me?
Osoyoos Times, Feb. 14, 2013
This newspaper notwithstanding, most people in the media are reluctant to even entertain the possibility that single moms are anything less than saintly. Sure, some are. No one can blame a woman who experiences divorce or abandonment after having kids. The issue is with women who enter parenthood with their eyes wide open without a man by their side, either by using a man to get pregnant or through a sperm bank. In either case, unless they're very well off, the kids they bestow upon this world are headed for disaster. Why applaud, let alone condone this?
Kelowna Daily Courier, March 26, 2012
No one wants prostitutes to go missing. But guess what? They do, and no inquiry is going to change that. There's a lack of leadership on issues like this these days. Whether it's the top-brass at the Vancouver police, politicians or a wide swath of people in the media, no one is willing to risk offending the swarm of publicly funded activists and say what needs to be said: prostitution is, by its very nature, a serious social problem.
Kelowna Daily Courier, Oct. 24, 2011
And so, I remain skeptical of Darwin's theory. I believe it should be taught, but not as fact, and alternative theories should be taught alongside.

Kaplan Kirsch & Rockwell's airports practice is the largest dedicated airport law practice in the country. It is characterized by a comprehensive, creative, and strategic approach that comes from a deep understanding of the airport industry and from experience at more than 100 airports—from the largest fortress hubs to small general aviation airports.
Airports today face increasing pressure to address air service, congestion, security, competition, and financial challenges. Airports must also address competing needs to generate revenue while keeping their rates and charges competitive, to be sensitive neighbors, and to contribute to the economic development of their communities. These demands are challenging for any enterprise, but in a highly regulated government-operated industry, the burden on airports can seem overwhelming.
Solving the problems presented by the operation and development of airports often implicates a panoply of legal issues, including compliance with federal obligations; land use, noise, and environmental concerns; collateral commercial development; public finance; national security; and day-to-day legal issues connected with operating what are essentially large businesses serving as public utilities. We provide a wide range of creative legal services to address these problems in their larger context. We collectively have hundreds of years of experience advising more than 100 airports in a breadth of issues.

Reports: US Cybersecurity Firewalls Built on Shaky Foundations
Mar 8, 2013 5:00 AM PT
A pair of new reports suggest that despite repeated attempts by the Obama administration to beef up U.S. cybersecurity, the nation is not ready to handle a major attack, and government agencies lag far behind deadlines for showing security improvements.
Those conclusions are reached in the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)'s Fiscal Year 2011 report to Congress on the implementation of the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA), and the Defense Science Board Task Force's study on resilient military systems and the advanced cyber threat.
"The federal government isn't just vulnerable, it's already compromised," Tim Erlin, director of IT security and risk strategy at nCircle, told TechNewsWorld. "This is the reality of today for all organizations."
The Cyberstate of the US Military
After conducting an 18-month study that ended last August, the Defense Science Board -- a federal advisory committee that provides independent advice to the U.S. Secretary of Defense -- concluded that the nation cannot be confident that its critical information technology systems will work under attack from a sophisticated opponent with good resources.
The DoD's networks are built on inherently insecure architectures, and the Department doesn't devote as much attention and resources to its IT networks as it does on its weapons and their IT capabilities, the DSB said. That has led to the DoD and its contractors suffering "staggering" losses of system design information.
The DSB task force developed a layered approach for managing cyberrisk, and criticized the DoD's approach to defend only against the inherent vulnerabilities that exist in all complex systems. The DoD did not have metrics to directly determine or predict the cybersecurity or resilience of a given system, the task force said, or to help decide how best to allocate cybersecurity spending.
"We value the contributions and recommendations of the DSB report but the department is continuously, report or no report, working to enhance its cyberposture and enhance its cybercapabilities, because those threats out there are growing in scope, sophistication and frequency," DoD spokesperson Lt. Col. Damien Pickart told TechNewsWorld.
The department is working "very closely with other interagency partners to ensure the nation has an optimal posture in cyberspace," Lt. Col. Pickart added. The DoD is also working closely with the private sector through the Defense Industrial Base (DIB).
"The Department of Defense has come to realize that, no matter how many moats or walls you have, they can be penetrated. They're sifting to protecting the data at rest, so even if an intruder comes in he won't be able to decrypt the data," said Brad Curran, a senior industry analyst at Frost & Sullivan.
The DoD is beginning to fund embedded forensic tools; when an alarm goes off, it can focus defensive resources into the area that has been penetrated.
"The problem is more of a cultural and organizational issue than a money or technology problem," Curran told TechNewsWorld. "It's so bureaucratic that it's difficult to respond quickly, contracts are long-term, and the law doesn't allow service program managers to switch money around internally very often."
Government Agencies Still Lax on Cybersecurity
When it comes to federal agencies, the OMB reported that in 2011, they detected controlled incidents only 49 percent of the time compared to 70 percent in 2010. The agencies authenticated remote access attempts only 52 percent of the time -- no change from 2010.
Only 58 percent of the agencies used email validation technology, compared to 46 percent the previous year.
The agencies did show improvement for the same period in other areas, including automated vulnerability management and in the encryption of portable devices. For all government agencies, FISMA capability implementation totaled 74 percent in 2011 as compared to 62 percent in 2010.
"The biggest issue is that the government isn't keeping up with the best practices required," Erlin remarked.

How wireless headphones work and how to connect
Wireless headphones are headphones that connect to a device, such as a smartphone, stereo speaker, television, gaming console, computer, or other electronic devices without using a wire or cable. Wireless headphones work by transmitting audio signals through either radio or IR (infrared) signals, depending on the device.
From call centers to fitness centers, wireless headphones are used by millions of people every day for work and play. For example, wireless headphones are popular with gamers, since it frees you to move around without having to worry about a cord. People doing a workout at the gym or in front of their TV in the living room love the freedom of wireless headphones. They are also perfect for people who want to watch late-night television without disturbing others.
Wireless headphones work by connecting, or pairing, with the device you want to use, through a radio or infrared signal. Many devices use Bluetooth technology to make connecting easier for the user. Devices with Bluetooth technology can connect and exchange data over very short distances using radio transmissions. Headphones with Bluetooth also let you connect to multiple devices simultaneously.
A product with Bluetooth technology has a tiny computer chip inside that contains the Bluetooth radio, and software that makes connectivity between devices possible. So when Bluetooth-enabled products, such as a cell phone and headphones, are in close proximity to each other, they connect, or pair. This enables you to talk on the phone or listen to music without wires.
Connecting a wireless headphone differs depending on the device you are using, but it's easy once you know how. Here is a list of the most popular devices that people use with wireless headphones and how to connect them.

- Plug your wireless headset into the console to install the latest headphone drivers. You will need to be connected to Xbox Live in order to do this step.
- Make sure that your headset is charged, which can be done by simply plugging it into the unit. If you charge your headset through the console, it will connect automatically most of the time. If they don't connect automatically, turn on your console first and switch the headset so that it is Bluetooth mode.
- Press the power button for two seconds until it flashes green. You should then hear a start-up sound, and when you hear that, press the connect button for two seconds.
- After you release that button, press and release the connect button on the console within 20 seconds or the connection will not be made. The green lights will flash three times to let you know the connection was a success.
Connect wireless headphones to a Playstation 4
- You will first need to register the headphones to the PS4 through the Bluetooth settings. Here's how:
- Go to the XMB home menu and select the "Settings" icon.
- From there, select the "Accessory Settings" icon, and from that menu, find the option that says "Manage Bluetooth Devices."
- If there is no current Bluetooth device registered on the PS4, there will be an option that says "The Bluetooth device has not been registered. Do you want to register?" You will need to highlight the "Yes" option and click the "X" button on your controller. If the pairing was successful, the device will show up on the screen.
- Next, you will see a screen that says "To register (pair), you will need to prepare the Bluetooth device. For information on preparing the device, refer to the instructions supplied with the Bluetooth device."
- Click on "Start Scanning" on the screen with your "X" button so that the PS4 can start to scan. Also, you need to make sure your headphones are in pair mode so that the PS4 will recognize the device. If the pairing was successful, it will show you on the screen and you just need to hit the "X" button to continue.
- You will then be asked to enter the pass code or security key that was provided with your wireless device. Use the keyboard that is provided on the screen to enter the pass code. Once everything is entered properly, a message tells you that the device has been registered.
- Next, go back to the "Accessory Settings" menu to access the "Audio Device Settings" menu. Select the "Input Device" option by clicking "X" on the controller. When the new menu opens, look for the proper microphone input that corresponds with your device. Once you find the right one, click the "X" button.
- Select the "Output Device" option to select the headphones. Once you search through the options that the system recognizes, click "X" on your wireless headphones to select them. You should now be set up and ready to use the wireless headphones and microphone.

Montee Ball drafted by Denver Broncos
The Denver Broncos got the big running back the team's been looking for, selecting Montee Ball of Wisconsin in the second round of the NFL draft Friday.
The 5-foot-10, 217-pound back holds the NCAA Division I record with 83 touchdowns.
With Willis McGahee coming back from a knee injury and Knowshon Moreno still trying to live up to his first-round-draft status, the Broncos were looking for a big, every-down back.
When the 58th pick rolled around, they had two primary choices and went with Ball over Alabama's Eddie Lacy, who was still available.
In Ball, they got the Division I record holder in carries (924), rushing yards (5,140) and points scored (500), who said he wanted to pattern his game after Broncos great Terrell Davis.

BBC AMERICA's Dramaville presents US premiere of White Heat, starring ensemble cast including Sam Claflin, Claire Foy and MyAnna Buring
White Heat, the next instalment of BBC AMERICA's Dramaville, charts the lives of seven friends from 1965 through to present day. The stylish and suspenseful drama, straddling almost five decades, follows lives, loves and destinies shaped by the political events of each era, connecting the dots of their relationships born, bound and broken over time and ultimately reunited after the death of one of them. White Heat premieres Wednesday, May 9, 10:00pm ET/PT as part of Dramaville.
Their relationships – complex, volatile, life affirming and life changing – are first formed when they come together as flatmates in London's Tufnell Park. The diverse group of young students includes rebel with a cause Jack (Sam Claflin, Snow White and the Huntsman), ambitious feminist Charlotte (Claire Foy, Upstairs Downstairs), fragile beauty Lilly (MyAnna Buring, The Twilight Saga), compassionate medical student Jay (Reece Ritchie, The Lovely Bones), love-struck geek Alan (Lee Ingleby, Luther), Jamaican-born-and-bred law student Victor (David Gyasi, Law and Order: UK) and kind-hearted Orla (Jessica Gunning, Law & Order: UK).
Their interwoven personal lives play out against the backdrop of defining points of the developing eras – the death of Churchill, the union strife of the Seventies, the ascendancy of Thatcher, the Falklands, AIDS, the end of the Cold War – crucial events which shaped history and made these seven individuals the people they are today.
White Heat follows the critically acclaimed crime thriller, Whitechapel, continuing BBC AMERICA's Dramaville, which features groundbreaking British drama and is also the home to the Golden Globe®-winning mini-series Luther, Golden Globe®-nominated mini-series The Hour and the upcoming drama series Ripper Street. Following White Heat, Dramaville presents the four-part drama, Inside Men, premiering Wednesday, June 20, 10:00pm ET/PT.

Today's Washington Examiner reports that Eric Holder spoke at a rally held by Al Sharpton for Trayvon Martin.
The article reports:
"If we find evidence of a potential federal criminal civil rights crime, we will take appropriate action," Holder added. "And, at every step, the facts and the law will guide us forward," he added.
Al Sharpton, Holder's host, has called for an "escalation" in civil disobedience if George Zimmerman — the shooter in the Trayvon Martin case who said he acted in self-defense — is not arrested.
Why is the Attorney General taking part in a rally that has determined the verdict of a case that has not even been tried and encouraging civil disobedience? Isn't it the Attorney General's job to uphold the law? The law says that George Zimmerman is innocent until proven guilty. If the people closest to the crime have chosen not to arrest Mr. Zimmerman, why is the Attorney General attending a rally to encourage civil disobedience to change that?

Full-bodied spirit: Finally, a tasteful family film
The Odd Life of Timothy Green is a warm and lovely fantasy, the kind of full-bodied family film that is being pushed aside in favor of franchises and slam-bang confusion. On a picture-postcard farm in the middle of endlessly rolling hills where it is always Indian summer, a lovable boy comes into the life of a childless couple and brings along great joy and wisdom.
Timothy isn't born and he isn't adopted. He seems to have grown in the garden. The movie very wisely makes no attempt to explain how this happened. His new parents have tried everything to conceive a child of their own, and one desperate night they open a bottle of red wine and start making a list of the things their perfect child should have. This they put in a box and bury in their garden, and after a torrential downpour and a lightning storm– why, there's Timothy (CJ Adams), covered with wet earth and with leaves growing from his legs. Makes perfect sense to me. How about you?
"You can call us Cindy and Jim," say the bewildered Greens (Jennifer Garner and Joel Edgerton). Timothy says he'll just call them Mom and Dad. Awww. This clear-eyed, beautiful little boy has a knack for saying tactful things, but a tendency to lack information you might think he'd know– for example, the difference between the two goals in a soccer game.

Jan.colombini necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 59 diseños de 6 diseñadores freelance.
Little Crackers
I am a fun loving and outgoing person. I love people of all ages and am currently living in the vibrant Spanish city of Barcelona. I have a Spanish Girlfriend and a new baby girl (2 months) therefore get very little sleep at the moment!!
My target audience is parents. Although I am targeting both mother and fathers I think 75% of my customers are going to be female.
My project is a Baby and toddler online store providing mostly clothing. Although some other items are available.
I want a colorful (although not over the top) website design that expresses the energy and innocence of babies and toddlers.
Please try to blend the site in with the logo and characters I would like everything in the same style but want to make sure it blends nicely too.
I want to reflect a professional look but nothing really formal as I want to reflect a happy and fun and a "not taking life too seriously" look but still looking efficient and professional, Is that possible?? I want to say we can take a joke and love fun but if you order something from us you will have the best possible care and service.
What I do not want is any products displayed on the front page.
I hope these details help, I will give as much feedback as I can throughout, please feel free to guide me in what works best for you as I want to make sure you have everything you need
…Oh and the most important thing is for you to have fun!!! Go mad – do something different. If I don't like it I will tell you but I love new and original ideas.
Homepage –
I need a shopping basket icon and a checkout icon.
A link for "contact us", one for "gift certificates" and a "help" link
A customer login box with Email and Password fields
A currency change box with a drop down to change currency that the items are displayed in.
The links that I need somewhere are:
Girls clothing
Boys clothing
Baby Hats
Outer Wear
Leg Warmers
Socks & Tights
Depending on your design the links for the more detailed list (the second list) may be better but that is your choice.
I will also need three flags for language selection, English, Spanish and Catalan. I have attached pictures of the flags but please do not use the actual picture as I do not have permission. They are just for guidance.
I would also like the following introduction somewhere:
We sell high quality baby clothing for all ages between new born to toddlers. We are a modern and stylish company that is focused on providing the best products using the best service for the best people in the world – KIDS!!
Product page –
This needs to follow a similar style to the front page and a lot of the things I need in the
A link for "contact us", one for "gift certificates" and a "help" link (preferably with images).
A currency change box with a drop down to change currency that the items are displayed in.
I need the following links somewhere as well
Baby Hats
Outer Wear
Leg Warmers
Socks & Tights
The same flags as before for language selection.
And a display of the products. I am not sure of how many I would like on each page but am open to suggestions, It is important to me that it does not look cluttered but also has enough on a page so that a customer doesn't have to constantly load the next page up to see more items.

Story highlights
- Bob Greene: America may end up with only two dominant occupations
- Greene: One is carrying stuff to people's homes, the other is protecting them
- He says with the rise of online shopping, more people need delivery services
- Greene: The other growth field is private security; we employ more guards now
If the trajectory of American daily life keeps heading in its current direction, the country may end up with only two dominant occupations:
-- Carrying stuff in boxes to people's houses.
-- And keeping a watchful eye on those same people so they don't hurt each other or steal things when they do leave their homes.
For all the talk about how e-commerce is outpacing the performance of traditional retail sales in brick-and-mortar stores, the men and women who could gain the most from the boom in online merchandising are not Web designers or those who come up with clever new shopping apps, but workers who perform one of the oldest jobs in the world:
Lugging packages from the curb to someone's front door.
It's one task that can't be accomplished in cyberspace. During the 2013 holiday season, according to the Wall Street Journal, retail stores drew only about half of the foot traffic that they did three years earlier. And during the peak holiday shopping period, online sales increased by more than double the rate of sales at traditional stores.
For every shopper who doesn't leave a store carrying a bag full of merchandise, but instead places orders online, there's someone who has to bring those items to the residence. And in the long run, the major beneficiaries of this shift in habits could very well turn out to be the people who undertake a decidedly low-technology endeavor: grabbing a box from the back of a truck and walking with it to a house.
You can already see the effects of this in statistics kept by the United States Postal Service. It's no secret that, in our era of e-mails and texts, the number of first-class letters delivered by the post office has plummeted. As recently as 2008, the Postal Service reported that it was delivering 90.7 billion letters annually. By last year, that number was down to 65.8 billion.
But the Postal Service's numbers for delivering packages, as opposed to letters, have actually gone up. In 2008, it delivered 3.3. billion packages; that had grown to 3.7 billion packages by last year. United Parcel Service says it delivers 16.3 million packages and documents worldwide every day -- 4.1 billion a year.
Some time-honored, pre-digital-era manufacturing firms have figured out a way to make the lug-the-package-to-the-house business model work for them, too. International Paper Co., according to the Journal, "is among the companies profiting from new digital habits. It bought several makers of corrugated cardboard boxes, which now fill with goods shipped by online retailers like Amazon. The Memphis-based paper company said it has a 35 percent market share."
But if carrying boxes is one line of work that has legs, another -- just as old-line -- may become even more in demand as the years go by. We can tell ourselves that our worlds are full of social media friends and amiable followers, yet the growth in industries devoted to protecting us from each other, both on the streets and in the electronic ether, betrays a certain distrust in the purportedly benign intentions of our fellow citizens.
It's not just the checkpoints at airports, and surveillance cameras on street corners, and cybercrime-fighting software offered by manufacturers; Samuel Bowles and Arjun Jayadev, writing in the New York Times, noted, "another dubious first for America: We now employ as many private security guards as high school teachers -- over one million of them, or nearly double their number in 1980. ... What is happening in America today is both unprecedented in our history, and virtually unique among Western democratic nations. The share of our labor force devoted to guard labor has risen fivefold since 1890."
This caution on the part of both citizens and industry may be warranted, but Bowles and Jayadev, reflecting on the melancholy underlying message of this, point out what philosopher John Stuart Mill wrote in 1848: "It is lamentable to think how a great proportion of all efforts and talents in the world are employed in merely neutralizing one another."
Neutralizing one another or, more cheerily, showing up bearing boxes. The Postal Service reports that its letter carriers and package-deliverers drive 4 million miles every day. UPS operates a delivery fleet consisting of 96,028 cars, vans, tractors and motorcycles, as well as 237 aircraft. As the inexorable shift to e-commerce becomes the standard way of shopping, those numbers can only be expected to increase.
And the private-security industry? That other growth field? There is an outside chance that it could eventually dwindle: if we should someday decide to put our faith in the sweet intentions and endless goodwill of our fellow citizens, both the ones we can see and the ones who invisibly make their way into our computers.
Until then, though, there is a multitude of home-security and break-in-alarm products for sale online.
And a multitude of men and women hired to carry them to the double-locked front door.
