Britannia kills children and civilans and is generally evil, but there are good people there too. Lloyd Cecile the student council are generally good people who aren't racist in the least. Euphie might have been naive but she was also good. Cornelia Darlton, and Gulford have done some bad things in the name of their country but they are decent people at heart and are at least honorable and learned to become less racist as Suzaku changed their view on numbers.(and remember the reason the royal family was so harsh to Japan was because Lelouch and sis were supposedly killed there) Even Villeta proved to have nice personality once she forgot her miltary training and conditioning. The only outright evil person in Britannia is the Emperor who apparantly doesn't even give a damn about his own children.
Japan seems good in the show but the backstory proves they aren't quite as holy as they think they were. The were just oppressive to forigners prior to Britannan takeover like Britannia was to them now. Suzaku's stupid father was trying to play all three sides against each other with his Sakuradite and caused the invasion himself when he taunted all three sides that no one would dare attack Japan because all three sides would have to move in to get Sakuradite for themselves and it would all be destroyed. Then when the Emperor answered his foolish challenge Genbu decided he would rather sacrifice every person in his country rather than try to negotiate and save lives.
Suzaku killing his father was a GOOD thing. Everyone on every side admits this. Because they gave in they were able to preserve lives and since they still had military strength left were able to form a resitance and later on a rebellion. The Black Knights and Lelouch's forces would not be able to exist without Suzaku. Had Japan not surrendered all of its military would have been destroyed, most of it civilians killed and all of its resources destroyed or taken over. There would be no one to give Lelouch mecha, no Japanese rebels to fight for him, and heck Lelouch himself probably would have been killled during the invasion. So thank Suzaku, without him there would be no Black Knights years later.
The Black Knights themselves had decended into mob mentality in the finale. They attacked Villeta for no real reason (not exactly helping her view of Japanese) and Tamaki was gonna kill the council against orders. They were Lelouch's friends remember. If Nunally had been there as well then Lelouch's entire plan would have been ruined by one dumbass Japanese who couldn't control his racism. Suzaku was almost a damned hero standing up for them like he did. That whole scene through everything out of perspective with the heroic Black Knights about to engage in random murder and the evil Britannia swooping in heroicly.
Not that the Black Knights actions weren't unjustifed (though shooting up school children was a bit much Dumbass needs to calm the hell down or he's gonna destory Lelouch's plans someday.) but it certainly proves the Britannia=evil villians Japan=good heroes theory is not correct.

Of course no ones perfect, that's not what this show is about, and a good thing it isn't. I choose the Black Knights based on my observations and by the results they achieve compared to the stagnate and decadent Britannia. I'm like Diethard I guess, I know when the ship is sinking and when a time for change is needed . And going by the Order of the Black Knights mantra I can find a harmonious setting were they to win while at the same time I compare how I would face constant danger under Britannia's system of rule. In this sense I'm also like Lelouch, I go with something that seems like it would achieve the best overall results.

And your comparison for Villeta is rather... strange. She is a completely different person once she loses all her training and conditioning. That is who she is. She is defined by her experiences, conditionings, and overall her own life. Chigusa was a different person, different experiences, and an overall different life. It's like saying a new born is the same thing as the child that took ten years to develop into who it is. She may have a nice personality, but it is a different person's personality.
Lloyd is not a good person, in any way shape or form. He may put on airs of being nice but he is not. He does what he does because he wants to do something, not because it might matter to someone else. Life is a game to him.

I may hate the Emperor and his way of looking at things, but I can't deny he has done a fine job taking care of his country. It's actually rather scary since you have to wonder what Lelouch plans on doing to make sure the world can still progress with different policies.

Still its seems like a good many people are too caught up in the "Coolness" of Lelouch's character, to give my opinions much thought (not here but on on other forums and boards)

I don't ususally give opinion since I am not too good at articulating my thoughts on such matters and someone always finds a better way to say it.
I'll admit that it is true that some seem to caught up with Lelouch or keep calling him a Light ripoff to look deeper. Not everyone of course.

And to be quite frank, Light is one of the most uninteresting characters in Anime. He is simply presented in a good way, but overall his character is as shallow as a puddle on a sunny day. Which is why, not surprisingly, when a certain character died that the show simply became mundane at best.

I agree that "the Britannia=evil villians Japan=good heroes theory is not correct". However, I have to say that Britannia as shown are real evil villians. If invading other countries, killing and treated those colonial ppl like non-human is not evil, then I don't know what is evil But the part Japan=good heroes is incorrect then no opposition.
Besides, Cornelia, although as respectable as she is (one of my favourite char), I have to say that "they are decent people at heart" is a littlel bit funny. As much as I can see, she is generally a similar type to Lelouch, but more ruthless
In MY POV, either this or that is neither evil nor good, just they want to do that, have to do that, and are capable of doing that (or other words, cost and benefit ). But if you really need to consider the morality, then I guess we should differentiate those who offense (invaders) and those who deffense (who lost their countries, human-rights and safetiness and have to struggle to retrieve them).
Back to Lelouch n continue the Light comparison: To me what distinguish Lulu from Light is that Lulu is more "vulnerable" than Light. The only thing that can hurt Light is his defeat, but for Lulu, a lot, including his own mistakes and "crime". Lulu has so much ppl to care (especially Nunally), which is his biggest weakness. In a sense, he is also a "soft-hearted" (toward some certain ppl of course), which prevent him from gaining success (at least several times). Generally, Light is more like a mad god while Lulu is more like a genious kid playing a dangerous game.

The Traitor
Alright, I'm breaking down the Lelouch/Zero comparison which some people like to blend together as Lelouch being Heartless.
Lelouch is a Kindhearted Person, or at least he tries to be. He tends to protect people close to him, or at least tries to make life funner for people around him. Kallen is an example here, he knows her personally as her more serious alter Ego. In school he tries to get her more into funner things instead of keeping her the quiet facade she's keeping. His attempts were one where he was running a poll and infuriating her for it, having also attempted the school festival Halloween house piece. He burned Shirley's Diary to protect her from remembering him and the pain he caused her. He's also appeared as a person that Nina goes to for advice, and most of the workload is given to him by the president. He also spends time with Nunnally and wishes to make things better for her considering her disability and ability to not see.
Why does he try so hard? He knows the Truth about the World. He watched as a young boy as his mother was killed, his world of a happy life and people disappeared soon after. His father proved to be even more cruel to him than he thought, he could understand him being busy as the king and not visiting, but telling him that he was not alive nor did he care about Marianne or Nunnally was a blow to his childish mind. He renounced his title to the throne as another childish threat perhaps, but soon learned that his father was even more cruel with the prank than expected and stated he had no value to life at all. Once more he was thrown as a political tool to be used as well as his sister. He was to be taken away from his Royal Life, Euphie who he considered his first love as a kid, Clovis who was his best friend and childish Rival, Schneizel who he considered his Rival and couldn't beat in Chess. He learned the cruelty of the world, having been given away to Japan along with his sister. Even during his stay and good side with Suzaku, kids had beaten him and he learned Racism was a big deal and how his perfect life as Brittania was shattered when he heard that the country was a invading and destroyed others. His Sister was also then supposed to marry Suzaku's Father, which he couldn't believe. Nunnally was his only happiness and family left in the world, she considered him her hero. To have been given to marry Suzaku's father was something else he couldn't stomach. So he made a deal as a child with him, what the deal was nobody will know for now. Once he made the deal and prevented the marriage, he thought he could make another peaceful life. Soon shattered by Brittania's invasion. He walked in a field full of corpses holding his sister and walking with his best friend. How was he going to explain something his father did to Suzaku? It was surprising to him that Suzaku didn't blame him either. When he didn't, he considered him his best friend and that wouldn't ever change. He also promised him that he would crush this country that caused so much hard to people and everybody he knew.
Zero; 0, Nothing, Cannot be Defined, Empty. Why did Lelouch choose this name? Because it has no Value. It can't be biased and is between negative and positive. Something he wishes to be; Nothing. He wishes to have no conscience, have no heart, never flinch when making choices, and never waver. But we see that's something he can never do, before he pressed the trigger to blow the ship, he hesitated...he felt the guilt of killing so many, where he could kill people that had no hope(First Geass usage, Hotel Jackers), these people were different and may have been allies. When he puts on that mask, his facade changes. Recall Jim Carrey's Movie " The Mask " where he changes into another personality the moment he places it on. It's something Lelouch hopes he can do as well. Yet we see in his mind that he can't throw away his conscience or ignore it as he wishes he could.
Episode 25 was named 'Zero'; which had good meaning because...what happened? Lelouch lost Everything. His move as C.C. stated " Your World will be Dyed Red.", He lost his School Life. He lost his Friendship with Suzaku, He lost his attempt to Win by not getting Cornelia, He Lost Nunnally, He Abandoned everything to get Her. At the end of the Scene his mask broke, and Kallen's Loyalty was placed into Question in the scene from her shock. He Became Zero for the First Time. A Being with Nothing. And he Acted the Part, instead of Excusing himself for Euphie's incident or when Kallen asked him if he used her and the Japanese, He Coldly gave an answer and shrugged her off. He also pleaded to Suzaku to help him find Nunnally, the last bit of friendship he could hope for, where he helped with Mao and helped Suzaku in his shock of his Father, he knew he could depend on him. Yet Suzaku cut off all ties, shrugging him off as well and leaving him with nothing but Hatred and a Great Enemy.
Why did Lelouch refer to himself as Zero in R2? Because of his memories. He knows now that he cannot return anytime soon to the same School life or Life that was fake. He knows he has nothing and Lost Everything as Far as Army, Power, Chance.
But of Course, he realizes another thing by calling himself Zero. He has everything to regain, which he will in R2.

He's back, he's pissed, and he's learned the value of human life. I hope to see Lelouch show more emotional depth in R2. He was an immature, irresponsible, too-cool-for-school little bitch in season one.

He was going to go out into the World+Brittania War. To remain in Japan with a school life would be a waste of time even with Nunnally, he most likely realized it. I'm not sure what his plan would be though >>;

He geassed her by mistake.
He saw her mass killing everybody.
It was his fault, he would take blame. If anybody would kill her, it would be him because Psychiatry couldn't stop it. She would most likely be disowned by her Father and executed.
He made use of her, having wished to at least make her dream somewhat true. Free Japan using his method.
Sidenote: We don't know how he's going to use school still. I can see him using it for a while to get back Todou and everybody, but once he hits World Issues then he'll have to abandon them all.

The word "February" comes from februum, the Latin term for purification. But before February became the universally adopted name of this month, it was known by others—such as the Anglo-Saxon Solmoneth (mud month). It seems appropriate that February is when we transition (think detoxification) from the feasting of Christmas and Epiphany to the fasting of Lent, which begins this month.
This season of transition is untidy, liturgist Peter Mazar writes: "Days grow longer … the ground thaws, and the next thing we know, everything is filthy. Our windows need washing, our temples need cleansing, the Earth itself needs a good bath." But even more than this, he notes how fragmented and fragile we are, which is symbolized and ritualized by the imposition of ashes on our foreheads. "Eden gone to ashes, the dustbin emptied of a winter's worth of soot … the dry Earth thirsty for water to make it clay of new creation," he writes.
Our tendency in the United States is to bathe ourselves in whitewash as the antidote to the messiness of life. "America" is a far cry from Eden. But like Eden's disintegration, the lives we celebrate this Black History Month remind us that human identity is like a quilt pieced together from suffering, pain, struggle, hope, and triumph.

Several nationally prominent news outlets have taken advantage of the recent release of two years worth of Mitt Romney's tax documents to take a close look at LDS tithing doctrine, policy and practice.
Rachel Zoll of the Associated Press says "Romney reports he will give a total of $4.13 million to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (during 2010 and 2011) as part of his overall charitable donations." And she indicates that some Romney supporters are concerned that releasing that number will "fuel opposition to him based on his religion."
"It can be misconstrued if the sums of money he's giving to the church struck observers as unusual or as indicating some particular loyalty that threatens his independence as a politician," said Terryl Givens, a professor at the University of Richmond and author of several books on Latter-day Saints, to the AP.
Zoll points out that according to the Romney tax documents released, "the 2010 amount is less than 10 percent, while the 2011 figure is higher than the expected tithe."
"A campaign official said the governor bases his tithes on estimated income, since he donates to the church at the end of the calendar year before his taxes are finalized," Zoll writes. "He plans to pay above the 10 percent in 2011, to make up for the underestimate the year before, the campaign official said."
Which isn't an unusual thing, according to Paul Edwards, Deseret News editor, who was contact by Zoll for comment.
"In one given calendar year, I might actually 'pre-pay' some tithing and then the next year, I'll kind of work that into my calculation," Edwards told the AP. "I think that most Latter-day Saints can recognize it looks like he's giving roughly a 10th, whether it's one calendar year or over an extended period of time."
But Kai Pertainen, writing for Forbes, isn't so sure. After taking a detailed look at Romney's tithing for the two years, he wonders if "Romney, by releasing his tax forms may have reopened a debate within the church as to how much should be given."
"It's not just a presidency that he'll represent," Pertainen writes. "If his tithing isn't up to par within the church — that could create some interesting complications within the church itself … Just because he is rich, or just because he becomes the president, it wouldn't preclude him from tithing."
That point was emphasized by Givens, who was also contacted by CNN's Dan Gilgoff about the subject.
"Mormon children are expected to begin tithing from their very first allowance," Givens told Gilgoff. "And there's never any variation on the 10 percent, whether you're on welfare or you're a millionaire."
For members of the LDS Church, Givens continued, "tithing is an article of faith, not an economic principal." He went on to call it "an important differentiator between devout Mormons and nominal Mormons."
Michael Otterson, director of Public Affairs for the LDS Church and a frequent guest contributor to the Washington Post's "On Faith" blog site, used the sudden interest in LDS tithing to talk about the history, the doctrine and the uses of tithing in the church.
"The principle is simple to understand and administer," Otterson wrote. "Each member, knowing their accountability to God, decides for themselves what 'one tenth of their increase' means, when and how to pay it. For people on regular salaries, it is usually a tenth of their income and paid weekly or monthly. It is an honor system that works very well, because each member has a sense of consecrating a portion of his or her means to God's work."
He quotes the late LDS Church President Gordon B. Hinckley, who once observed that "the Lord's plan for financing the church is captured in just 35 words of modern scripture."
"We know that these funds are sacred," President Hinckley said. "We have a compelling trust to use them carefully and wisely…. I keep on the credenza in my office this genuine widow's mite …. I keep it as a reminder of the sacrifice it represents, that we are dealing with the consecration of the widow as well as the offering of the wealthy."
Otterson outlined some of the ways in which tithing dollars are used, pointing out that simply providing for the needs of 30,000 LDS congregations worldwide — including meetinghouses and temples — required a large part of the church's tithing income.
"In addition to their tithes," Otterson said, "most faithful members make other voluntary contributions to humanitarian aid and to the monthly 'fast offering.' Fast offerings are the result of fasting for two successive meals on the first Sunday of each month and donating the cost of the meals. Local bishops then use these funds to help the poor and needy."
Otterson concludes by saying that "tithing and other financial offerings are less about finances and more about personal attitude and commitment."
"It is difficult to pay tithing and be selfish at the same time," he writes. "For the millions of people who participate, there is something in the act of voluntary giving that is innately enriching to the human soul."

After a month or so of hype, Samsung's newest smartphone, the Galaxy S4, has landed to some lukewarm reviews.
The consensus among critics seems to be that the Galaxy S4 is a good phone, but not as good as its chief Android rival, the HTC One.
There are two major reasons:
First, the Galaxy S4 is made from plastic, which feels cheap in comparison to the beautiful and durable metal construction on the HTC One.
Then there's the software. Samsung packed its phone with a ton of features critics found gimmicky or flawed. The HTC One keeps most of the focus on the core Android experience.
So HTC has to be feeling pretty good right now. It built what is widely considered to be the best Android phone in the world, despite being outspent by Samsung in marketing.
"It's really been a great week for us," said Mike Woodward, HTC's North America president, in an interview. "We're seeing brisk sales so far."
Woodward wouldn't go into detail on specific sales numbers, but did mention some retail partners had sold out of the HTC One since the phone launched last week.
"We look at [the Galaxy S4 reviews] through the lens of the HTC One, and it stands up positively," Woodward said. "The design seems to be attracting the most attention and we're really proud of that."
However, there is one big hangup with the HTC One. Verizon, the largest wireless carrier in the US, doesn't sell the phone and there aren't any immediate plans for it to start. That's a lot of potential One owners who are missing out. All four major US carriers will sell the Galaxy S4.
Woodward said HTC is focusing on the Droid DNA with Verizon, another nice HTC Android phone. But the DNA isn't nearly as pretty or as fully featured as the One. There are some rumors that Verizon will eventually sell the One, but nothing has been confirmed yet.

When it comes to the cloud, selecting the right cloud provider can be challenging at best and nightmarish at worst. The cloud includes a variety of ways to deliver technology services, from standalone software applications like hosted email or databases to very new and exciting uses that include disaster recovery as a service (DRaaS), storage as a service, or platform as a service (PaaS) applications. While there are obvious advantages to entering into a cloud partnership — including decreased IT costs, increased flexibility and a reduced focus on IT maintenance issues — selecting the right cloud provider is a critical first step in realizing those benefits in a way that creates a synergistic, long-term and fulfilling relationship. That's why Logicalis, an international solution provider, has put together a list of the top questions IT pros should ask when they're considering a cloud partner for the long haul.
"For a CIO or IT manager, choosing a cloud provider can feel like choosing a spouse," says Tom Roberts, solution architect for Logicalis. "Joking aside, the relationship between the client organization and the cloud provider they choose is a deep and meaningful one. The client trusts the cloud provider with what oftentimes amounts to mission-critical data and information and relies on that provider to keep that information secure and available in sometimes heavily regulated environments. Therefore, choosing the right provider is a serious decision that has to be made with the utmost care and concern."

Less than a year after suffering an ACL injury during an offseason training stint with German club Nuremberg that had him worried if he'd return to full effectiveness, Omar Gonzalez was at his very best last Saturday as he helped lead the LA Galaxy to their fourth MLS Cup title.
After a dominating performance that included a goal and saw him become the first defender to win the MLS Cup MVP award, Gonzalez and the Galaxy must now decide the center back's future as he has just one year remaining on his current contract.
During his end-of-the-season teleconference call with local reporters on Wednesday, Arena divulged that there was no timeline for any potential Gonzalez deal.
"It's based on if there is an offer there, we have to consider it. The only timeline is that the end of January is the end of the transfer window," said Arena. "Omar Gonzalez is on our team. We're not worried about anything until that changes and right now, he's a member of our team."
The Galaxy boss also stated there were no current discussions to have any players — including Gonzalez – go on any offseason loans or training stints at the moment.
"Not at the moment," said Arena. "We're certainly not going to let Omar go out on a training loan exhibition this time around."

News Release
SEC, FINRA Issue New Investor Alert: Year-End Investment Considerations for Individual Investors
WASHINGTON — The SEC's Office of Investor Education and Advocacy and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) have issued a new Investor Alert called Year-End Investment Considerations for Individual Investors. This new alert provides individual investors with a few suggestions for year-end investment planning as the year draws to a close.
"The end of the year is a great time to take stock of your financial situation and make sure your investment plan is meeting your needs," said Gerri Walsh, FINRA's Vice President for Investor Education. "Taking some time to carefully manage your investment portfolio can pay dividends in the coming year."
Year-End Investment Considerations outlines five key areas investors should focus on when making investment decisions:
Asset Allocation. The end of the year is a reasonable time to review your overall investment portfolio and evaluate your existing asset allocation.
Consider Rebalancing. Some of your investments will grow faster than others. Rebalancing allows you to adjust your investment portfolio so as not to overemphasize one or more asset categories.
Tax Considerations. Investors who are interested in learning what impact tax rates, including potential changes in the tax laws, may have on their investments under different financial scenarios should consult their tax adviser or visit the IRS website (www.irs.gov) for more information.
Check Out Your Investment Professional. Many investors do not realize that they can check the background of a broker or investment adviser by using FINRA Broker Check or the Investment Adviser Public Disclosure (IAPD) website.
Locate Your Financial Records. Consider preparing a list identifying your financial records, including a list of financial accounts and all user names and passwords.
FINRA, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, is the largest independent regulator for all securities firms doing business in the United States. FINRA is dedicated to investor protection and market integrity through effective and efficient regulation and complementary compliance and technology-based services. FINRA touches virtually every aspect of the securities business – from registering and educating all industry participants to examining securities firms, writing rules, enforcing those rules and the federal securities laws, informing and educating the investing public, providing trade reporting and other industry utilities, and administering the largest dispute resolution forum for investors and firms.

The monocrystalline diamond particles have outstanding fracture resistance, and are precisely graded for size – a combination of properties that yields an abrasive that cuts at an impressive rate, yet wears slowly and produces a highly regular scratch pattern. This makes it important to work through the grits in sequence: first the 15 micron film for shaping the primary bevel, then the 3 micron for establishing a micro-bevel, and then the 0.5 micron and 0.1 micron sheets for polishing and refining the edge. The 15 micron diamond film (approximately 1000x) abrades O1, A2, and M2 steels about twice as quickly as a similar-grit silicon carbide film or water stone; successive diamond grits are comparably fast. It can take as few as four to six strokes on each grit to reach a finished edge.
The 3" x 6" PSA-backed polyester sheets are not only valuable for routine sharpening in the workshop, but are much more portable than stones, so you can readily sharpen wherever you happen to be working. Applied to a flat substrate, they can be used with water, but we have found a light oil is best for carrying away the swarf. These are excellent additions to any sharpening regimen.
Available individually or as a set of all four grits.
Made in USA.

The Hyde Amendment and Coverage for Abortion Services
This policy insight examines the Hyde Amendment, an annually approved law that bans the use of federal funds to pay for abortions unless the pregnancy is a result of rape, incest, or endangerment of the life of a woman. The Hyde Amendment has become the focus of debate in the 2016 presidential election. Hillary Clinton is the first presidential candidate to openly support lifting the Hyde bans on federal funding for abortion, while Donald Trump recently endorsed the codification of the law and established a Pro-life coalition. This perspective details the federal programs that are affected by the Hyde Amendment, provides estimates on the share of women insured by Medicaid affected by the law, the impact on their access to abortion services, and the potential effect if the law were to be repealed or codified.

Last weekend hacked photos of Christina Hendricks and Olivia Munn in various states of undress leaked onto the Internet. So the actresses' reps had to go through the motions of denying the legitimacy of the racier photos, even though the old eye test would suggest that they were all on the up-and-up.
When will our attractive young female celebrities learn that the only way to stop these callous invasions of privacy is by preempting the cyber-criminals? Yup, we mean getting all your R and X-rated photos out there yourself so the hackers won't have anything to hack.
Rihanna, who has had her own issues with stolen photos, gets this now, as evident by this shot she posted on her Twitter account. She is no stranger to sexy Twitter pics.
Yes, we could do without that feather duster-looking thing she has placed between the camera and her left breast, but getting naked in front of the world is a slow process. And one we will gladly watch.
Plus if this all takes too long, someone will hack her phone eventually.

Primary day: 5 things to watch
Today is the closest thing to a Super Tuesday this primary season, and the results of voting in six states will set the stage for some of November's marquee races.
The Democrats' best hopes for Senate pick-ups are in Kentucky, where Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell faces a tea party-inspired primary challenge, and Georgia, where a crowded field of Republican candidates will be narrowed to a two-way runoff.
Story Continued Below
Polls finish closing in Kentucky and Georgia at 7 p.m., in Pennsylvania at 8 p.m., in Arkansas at 8:30 p.m. and in Idaho and Oregon at 11 p.m. Here are five themes to watch for as returns come in:
( Full results: 2014 primary elections)
In Georgia, will the two most establishment-friendly candidates make it to a runoff?
David Perdue, a former Dollar General CEO, has led in the final polls of the race to succeed retiring Sen. Saxby Chambliss, and he's taken the brunt of attacks in recent days.
His No. 1 antagonist has been Rep. Jack Kingston, who is backed by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Both men are battling for a similar base of support as they seek to make the July 22 runoff, and a head-to-head matchup would most likely be very negative.
Karen Handel, a former Georgia secretary of state, has tried to present herself as the more conservative alternative to Perdue and Kingston. She's come under fire from two well-known social conservatives in the House, Phil Gingrey and Paul Broun, who have tried to stay in the hunt.
Democratic star recruit Michelle Nunn faces no real opposition in her primary.
( Also on POLITICO: GOP war revived in Georgia)
Because the open Senate seat drew three House members, there are competitive GOP primaries for their seats, each of which could also go to a runoff. Meanwhile, on the Democratic side, Atlanta-area Rep. Hank Johnson is facing a stiff challenge from a former DeKalb county sheriff.
In Oregon, how damaging is the Monica Wehby police report?
For months, Republicans have touted Portland neurosurgeon Monica Wehby as a dream recruit to take on freshman Democratic Sen. Jeff Merkley, who they think could be vulnerable because of his support for Obamacare in a state where implementation has been particularly disastrous.
Wehby faces primary opposition from the more conservative state Rep. Jason Conger but has been backed by national Republican figures such as Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich. Recent polls showed her well ahead.
( Also on POLITICO: Second harassment accusation for Wehby)
Then on Friday, POLITICO reported that Wehby's ex-boyfriend last year accused her of "stalking" him, entering his home without his permission and "harassing" his employees. Both Wehby and her ex downplayed the incident, saying they are now on good terms.
On Monday, Wehby received another blow when The Oregonian reported that her ex-husband accused her through their 2007 divorce of "ongoing harassment."
Wehby is likely to prevail because Oregon is an all-mail voting state, meaning that many of the ballots were already sent in before the news broke.
( WATCH: Some of 2014's wackiest campaign ads)
Oregon Republicans also are choosing a nominee to take on potentially vulnerable Democratic Gov. John Kitzhaber. It's a pretty deep-blue state, so Kitzhaber should probably be OK come November, despite the major problems with Oregon's health exchange.
National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Greg Walden also is poised to crush a primary challenger in the race for his House seat.

As employees and IT professionals return from the holidays, many are doing so with 2014 New Year's resolutions in mind. For IT pros, we hope that one of your resolutions is to bolster your organization's security and defenses in 2014. One of the rising threats that many IT professionals should be concerned about defending against in the new year is advanced persistent threats (APTs). According to the 2014 State of the Endpoint Report, conducted by the Ponemon Institute and sponsored by Lumension, 40 percent of organizations experienced an APT attack in the last 12 months. Paul Zimski of Lumension provides an overview of many of the key terms and themes associated with APTs to prevent you from becoming one of them.

IAC chairman Barry Diller blasted broadcasters in an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal today, saying they threaten the future of innovation on the Internet if they win their Supreme Court case against live TV streaming startup Aereo.
Aereo is a service in a handful of U.S. cities that lets you stream broadcast networks like ABC, NBC, CBS, and Fox over the Internet for $8 per month. It also includes a virtual DVR service so you can record shows online and stream them later.
Networks are suing Aereo, alleging that it violates copyright by letting users access the networks over the Internet. The case goes to the Supreme Court on April 22.
Diller, who is invested in Aereo through IAC, went over the same case the startup has made since it was first sued by the networks. He writes that Aereo provides each customer with his or her own antenna to access broadcast signals that are free to the public and then distributes the content through the Internet.
"It's not a piracy trick, as broadcasters have alleged, but a genuine innovation that consumers should be able to choose," Diller writes, adding that if the Supreme Court sides with the networks that it could chill future innovation on the Internet.
If the broadcasters do win the case, Aereo doesn't have a plan B. The company will have to shut down.
Diller says broadcasters are only suing Aereo to protect the money they make from paid cable and satellite TV subscribers. The networks get retransmission fees from cable and satellite companies for content that is normally free over the air. They also own a lot of premium channels, so it benefits them more if people don't access their content for free over the Web or antennas, even if they do so legally.
Diller writes:
The answer is obvious: Broadcasters make more money when consumers are steered away from over-the-air program delivery and toward cable and satellite systems that pay the broadcasters retransmission fees. There's nothing wrong with that. But it seems rich for them to forget the agreement they made to provide television to the consumer in return for the spectrum that enables their business.
When broadcast TV first started, the networks made a deal with the government that they'd be able to use the wireless spectrum necessary for TV only if they provided the content for free. That's allowed millions of people access to free information and entertainment.
Some network executives like CBS CEO Leslie Moonves have threatened to take their programming to cable and satellite only if they lose the case against Aereo.
But in an interview with Business Insider in March, Aereo CEO Chet Kanojia said if the networks make good on their threats, they'd be harming low-income households that can't afford cable or satellite TV.
"Are they really going to be permitted to disenfranchise people who can't afford cable?" he asked.

Modern day printer machines have been remodeled in a radical way. They don't just offer advanced copy services, but today they come integrated with other essential features like scanning and faxing documents as well, which makes it a multi-functional device. In fact, some printer machines are heavily loaded with multiple features that figuring them out one-by-one may take ages. However, such issues won't bother you, if you are sure of your requirements, specifically in terms of type, budget, purpose, etc.
Printers come in 3 different shapes ─ analogue, color and digital.
Analogue Printer
If you are running office on tight budget, then Analogue printer is the right choice. This printer is affordably priced and is designed to offer basic photocopying services. Acedepot offers branded printer machines, which ensures that you get good quality copies.
Digital Printer
On the other hand, if you want more functionality within the limited budget, a digital printer will suit you best. The printer offer two or three features such as fax, print etc. In terms of price, it is slightly on the higher side of an analogue machine. Other features include: noiseless and higher print quality.
Color Printer
This is the best of all the printers. Why? Because it's loaded with different functionalities, such as scanning, printing, faxing and photocopying. Ideally designed for large corporations. Color printers, though highly priced, are worth their price. However, color printers offering two-or-three function are available for reasonable prices.
Other than types of printers, you also need to take into account the size of the printer machine: as in whether the selected machine fits the designated place or not. Also, compare prices of different brands. Acedepot offers printers from top-notch brands like Canon, Brother, Lexmark, Okidata, HP, Samsung and more. And, in case, if you are not a heavy user, you can also opt for refurbished printers. These printers are economically priced and won't put a strain on your pocket.

This video starts with a composite image of the Crab Nebula, a supernova remnant, that was assembled by combining data from five telescopes spanning nearly the entire breadth of the electromagnetic spectrum: the Very Large Array, the Spitzer Space Telescope, the Hubble Space Telescope, the XMM-Newton Observatory, and the Chandra X-ray Observatory.
The video dissolves to the red-colored radio-light view that shows how a neutron star's fierce "wind" of charged particles from the central neutron star energized the nebula, causing it to emit the radio waves. The yellow-colored infrared image includes the glow of dust particles absorbing ultraviolet and visible light. The green-colored Hubble visible-light image offers a very sharp view of hot filamentary structures that permeate this nebula. The blue-colored ultraviolet image and the purple-colored X-ray image shows the effect of an energetic cloud of electrons driven by a rapidly rotating neutron star at the center of the nebula.
The Crab Nebula, the result of a supernova explosion seen by Chinese and other astronomers in the year 1054, is 6,500 light-years from Earth.

Ding-Dong! The Witch Is Dead from The Wizard of Oz (Barbra Streisand and Harold Arlen version) is featured in The Purple Piano Project, the first episode of Season Three. It is sung by Kurt and Rachel.
The song is sung in preparation for their NYADA gathering, but when they go to the event, they are stunned by how many people out there have the same dreams and are exact copies of themselves.
Once there was a wicked witch in the lovely land of OZ
And a wickeder, wickeder, wickeder witch that never, ever was
She filled the folks in Munchkin Land with terror and with dread
Till one fine day from Kansas
Kurt and Rachel:
A house fell on her head
And the coroner pronounced her:
Rachel (Kurt):
And through the town the joyous news went running
The joyous news that the wicked old witch was finally done in
Ding Dong, the witch is dead (Which old witch?)
Well, uh, the wicked witch (Oh)
Ding Dong, the wicked witch is dead (Oh yeah, happy day)
Wake up you sleepy head (Rub your eyes)
And get out of that bed
Wake up, the wicked witch is dead
Kurt and Rachel:
She's gone where the goblins go below, below, below, yo ho
Let's open up and sing
And ring those bells out
Sing the news out
Hehehe, Ding Dong, the merry-oh, sing it high, sing it low
Let them know the wicked old witch is dead
Why, everyone's glad she took such a crownin'
Getting hit by a house is even worse than drownin'
Kurt and Rachel:
Let 'em know the wicked old witch is dead
- This song is the jazz version of the original song.
- There are multiple shots from behind the band at the back of the stage that show a witch hat in the middle of the stage. However, all of the shots from the front show no hat.

Scott Denno guilty, both counts- Convicted of first-degree manslaughter, gang assault
Thu, May 16, 2013 5:05 AM
ELIZABETHTOWN undefined Jurors found Scott E. Denno guilty on Wednesday of first-degree manslaughter and gang assault in the beating death of Robert M. Rennie.
Rennie, a father of two young girls, was found dead by the closed iron bridge in Keeseville on the morning of Aug. 26, 2012.
Denno admitted in court that he was one of three men who kicked Rennie during an attack late the previous night, but he claimed he had used the least force he could.
The medical examiner had ruled Rennie's manner of death a homicide, finding the Keeseville man had been beaten and died of internal injuries caused by blunt-force trauma.
When Essex County Judge Richard Meyer gave instructions to the jury Wednesday morning, he told the jurors they could also consider second- and third-degree assault if the first-degree gang-assault charge did not hold up against the evidence.
But the 12-person jury did not need to consider further than charges brought by Essex County District Attorney Kristy Sprague.
Denno was the first in the courtroom to stand up as jurors readied to enter the courtroom.
He stood quietly as Meyer invited their decision.
The moment was tense, a culmination of six full days of testimony in a trial that took more than a week.
Denno stared ahead, his hands clasped in front of him. He didn't flinch as the guilty verdicts were read aloud.
He looked toward the bench as individual jurors were polled, each standing and answering "yes" that he or she agreed with the verdict on both counts.
Rennie's family, including his father, Robert J. Rennie, a sister and a brother, also stood steadfast but seemed visibly relieved with the decision.
The family attended every hour of each day of this trial.
As he left the courtroom, Mr. Rennie, the family's spokesman, said they were grateful.
Speaking softly, he thanked the prosecutors and the jurors for their decision.
"We're very glad for the decision rendered," he said.
The days of testimony brought the family back through the painful time last summer when Robert was found beaten to death.
"It is reliving it all over again," Mr. Rennie said.
The family will attend the trials of two other men charged in Robert's death.
Sprague hugged members of the victim's family after Denno was taken from the courtroom and the jury had been excused.
"I'm just glad the jury listened to the instructions and applied them to the evidence presented," the DA said.
"I'm really pleased with the verdict.
The jury was sent to deliberate at about 10:17 a.m. and took just over two hours to reach a decision.
The verdict was read aloud at 1:12 p.m. when court reconvened from lunch.
Denno faces a 25-year determinate sentence on the top count, Sprague said. Meyer set the sentencing for 2:15 p.m. June 27.
The 20-year-old was returned to Essex County Jail without bail pending sentencing.
He has been held there since his arrest last October along with Michael Rivers and Paul J. Taylor, whose trials in connection with the Rennie case are scheduled later this month and in June, respectively.
Tuesday, Denno's attorney, Joe Brennan, had asked the judge to dismiss all the charges; Meyer dropped the weapon charge relating to the footwear Denno was wearing during the kicking attack on Rennie.
Taylor faces a second-degree murder charge and others for first-degree gang assault and possession of a weapon.
Chief Public Defender Brandon E. Boutelle said separate attorneys were assigned to defend Denno, Rivers and Taylor due to the potential conflict in individual cases.
"The (attorneys) were assigned by the Elizabethtown Court when they (defendants) were arraigned," he explained Wednesday.
Lake Placid attorney Greg Laduke will defend Rivers.
And Boutelle is defending Taylor.
The difference between first-degree manslaughter and a murder charge, he said, hinges on the degree of intent, according to the law.
First-degree manslaughter reflects an intention to injure someone that results in death.
Murder is a charge brought against someone who intended to cause a person's death.
Meyer explained the first-degree manslaughter, gang assault and lesser assault charges to the jury with instructions that lasted nearly an hour early Wednesday.
First-degree manslaughter, he said, has occurred when a person acts "with intent to cause serious physical injury to another person … and causes the death" of that person.
Intent, Meyer explained, does not require premeditation and can be "formed at the very moment a person acts" to cause the result, which in this case, was Rennie's death.
Gang assault, Meyer said, is when a person undefined aided by two or more people undefined causes "serious physical injury" that may or may not result in death.
The jury verdict on each charge must be unanimous.
