In this tour de force of investigative reporting, Ted Koppel reveals that a major cyberattack on America's power grid is not only possible but likely, that it would be devastating, and that the United States is shockingly unprepared.
Imagine a blackout lasting not days, but weeks or months. Tens of millions of people over several states are affected. For those without access to a generator, there is no running water, no sewage, no refrigeration or light. Food and medical supplies are dwindling. Devices we rely on have gone dark. Banks no longer function, looting is widespread, and law and order are being tested as never before.
It isn't just a scenario. A well-designed attack on just one of the nation's three electric power grids could cripple much of our infrastructure - and in the age of cyberwarfare, a laptop has become the only necessary weapon. Several nations hostile to the United States could launch such an assault at any time. In fact, as a former chief scientist of the NSA reveals, China and Russia have already penetrated the grid. And a cybersecurity advisor to President Obama believes that independent actors - from "hacktivists" to terrorists - have the capability as well. "It's not a question of if," says Centcom Commander General Lloyd Austin, "it's a question of when."
And yet, as Koppel makes clear, the federal government, while well prepared for natural disasters, has no plan for the aftermath of an attack on the power grid. The current secretary of homeland security suggests keeping a battery-powered radio.
In the absence of a government plan, some individuals and communities have taken matters into their own hands. Among the nation's estimated three million "preppers", we meet one whose doomsday retreat includes a newly excavated three-acre lake, stocked with fish, and a Wyoming homesteader so self-sufficient that he crafted the thousands of adobe bricks in his house by hand. We also see the unrivaled disaster preparedness of the Mormon church, with its enormous storehouses, high-tech dairies, orchards, and proprietary trucking company - the fruits of a long tradition of anticipating the worst. But how, Koppel asks, will ordinary civilians survive?
With urgency and authority, one of our most renowned journalists examines a threat unique to our time and evaluates potential ways to prepare for a catastrophe that is all but inevitable.
"Ted Koppel's unparalleled reporting skills are on full display in
Lights Out. A fascinating and frightening look at just how vulnerable we are to a cyber attack." (Anderson Cooper)
" Lights Out is a timely warning about the vulnerability of America to a massive cyber attack that would cripple all we take for granted - electricity, communication, transportation. This is not science fiction. Hats off to Ted Koppel for putting us all on alert." (Tom Brokaw)

Release Notes: Support has been added for multiple templating engines. Java actions no longer need to be registered in jpublish.xml; they can now be executed by providing a fully qualified class name. Actions can be executed when a particular global template is rendered. Page.setProperty() methods are now public, and can be used to store page properties which are modified at request time. Session creation can now be disabled for specific paths. Logging is done through Apache Commons Logging. There are performance enhancements in both dynamic and static content.
Release Notes: The view interface was changed to include the path to the template. All template implementations now support named templates via the path parameter. FreeMarkerViewRenderer is now locale sensitive. Templates can now have actions. A content interface is now used to provide content to view engines which can be cached. InternalURI classes were added, and the FreeMarker and Velocity renderers were reworked to take advantage of FreeMarker's built-in cache for parsed templates. Numerous other bugfixes and enhancements were made.
Release Notes: A PageInstance class was added to replace the current Page class. There is only one PageInstance per page path. Changes were made to the Page class so that it wraps the PageInstance class. getLocale() and setLocale() were added to the Page class. Page property accessors now use the Page Locale. An org.jpublish.util.NumberUtilities class was added, exposed as numberUtilities in the context. The org.jpublish.util.DateUtilities class was also added, exposed as dateUtilites in the context. A custom error handler bug was added, and an upgraded to Velocity 1.3 was made.
Release Notes: Parameter actions are now disabled by default.
Release Notes: Added a virtual file system for all subsystems and replaced the StaticResourceLoader with StaticResourceManager. A FileSystemStaticResourceManager was added, along with a FileToPathIterator. getPageConfigurationWriter() has been implemented, and methods for getting, putting, and removing script actions were added. Pre-evaluation and post-evaluation actions were also added.
Release Notes: BeanShell support for actions was added. The BeanShell JAR is included with the distribution. The Template class was refactored. A bug in PathAction configuration loading was fixed. A bug in the XMLPageManager with the page definition loader was fixed. AbstractFileSystemRepository was added. FileSystemRepository and ExtendedFileSystemRepository now inherit from this abstract base class. Repository.getPaths() methods were added and implemented in all repositories.
Release Notes: This release creates a template subsystem for providing pluggable template managers, and creates a file system based TemplateManager implementation to load templates. The code in JPublishServlet was reordered. Page objects are now loaded before actions are executed. The action execution in JPublishServlet was refactored into individual protected methods. AbstractPageManager.getSiteContext() is now public. getPages() methods were added to the PageManager interface, and getPages() methods were added in all page managers. Attribute storage was added to SiteContext.
Release Notes: A reference to JPublishContext was added in JPublishError. Last minute preparations for the 1.0 release were completed.
Release Notes: The page manager class is specified using the classname attribute as opposed to specifying the class as text in the page-manager element. JavaDoc comments were completed. The page is now exposed to scripts as "page" if available. Cleanups were made to the ExtendedFileSystemRepository implementation. Configuration path can be specified. Some sections of the documentation were clarified, and part 4 was added to the tutorial.
Release Notes: Two new PageManager implementations were added. ExtendedFileSystemRepository now reports the request path instead of the full file path. Additional error logging was added to JPublishServlet. A Page.loadConfiguration() method was added. Extract methods were added to PathUtilities. A PageDefinition class was added. A PageManager implementation can now be specified in the jpublish.xml configuration file.

A self-storage expansion in Nice, Calif., progressed last week as the Lake County Planning Commission approved the project's use permit.
Pat Stansberry, owner of Nice Self Storage, would like to create storage space for up to 45 boats and RVs. The proposed expansion consists of a 140-by-160-foot area west of existing buildings, a 280-by-26-foot area south of existing storage buildings and a 100-by-30-foot area north of the current office.
The project planner told the commission the parking spaces will be one foot above the 100-year flood elevation and away from nearby seasonal wetlands. However, commissioners insisted the facility devise and implement a vehicle evacuation plan in case flood waters from nearby Clear Lake exceed the one-foot barrier. Project planners and Stansberry agreed, and Stansberry said he will include a flood provision in the contracts of all boat and RV tenants, stipulating they must move their vehicles or consent to facility employees moving their vehicles if rising water occurs.
Nice, with a population of about 2,500, is located 130 miles north of San Francisco.

Disinfection of large areas has just gotten much faster and more effective with the introduction of the ByoPlanet electromagnetic application system.
Spraying a room or irregular object or a hazmat-suited person with misted droplets from a pump sprayer soaks some items, misses others and takes a long time. Application varies with drops running off some areas, pooling in others. Learn and see how ByoPlanet has improved application and reduced complication with electrostatic disinfection.
ByoPlanet has developed an applicator that works similarly to how items are painted on assembly lines today, electrostatically. Negatively charged product - one that you choose to put in the ByoPlanet applicator - is misted from a wand that covers perfectly all surfaces.
Carpet and floor coverings have changed and require new approaches. Carpet and floor care experts need to know about the changes and the latest best practices in the industry. This course is taught by Arthur Dominguez, a well-credentialed and long-term veteran in the field.

Comments about Swingline Optima Grip Compact Stapler:
So far this stapler has been awesome, but today it jammed on me and took about 20 minutes for me to pry the staple out of the stapler. Coincidentally, as i was trying to pry the staple out, I noticed that my stapler still had the sticker on it that said JAM FREE GUARANTEED. You might want to rethink that slogan.
Comments about Swingline Optima Grip Compact Stapler:
This "Jam Free" stapler jams all the time. Using swingline staples.
Comments about Swingline Optima Grip Compact Stapler:
This is the 2nd one I've tried (brought 1st one back) and neither one will close after the staples are loaded in.
Comments about Swingline Optima Grip Compact Stapler:
I bought this stapler because it seemed to be higher quality and built better than previous staplers I have used at work. I figured that if I spent a little more money I could get a more reliable stapler. Especially since it was guaranteed jam free!* I have had nothing but problems with this stapler jamming on two to three sheets of paper, invoices I have to send out to customers that end up getting the corners torn up from jamming. Maybe one out of every five staples doesn't end up jammed. I feel very misled.
Comments about Swingline Optima Grip Compact Stapler:
I purchased this stapler quite a while ago because my only stapler was an ancient tiny thing that couldn't handle more than two sheets. I rarely use a stapler so it has been months sitting on my desk. It began to stick on the third use (using recommended staples and only stapling four sheets) and wouldn't return to stapling position without prying it back up. I used it that way for about five more uses and now it is bound so tightly I can't pry it open with a screwdriver. I'm familiar with the mechanics of a stapler and I've used several nice Swingline staplers in my life. This stapler wasn't jammed, misloaded, or used incorrectly, it just never should have made it past quality control. I noticed on one of the earlier un-stickings that the bar that pushes the staples seemed to be crooked, either bent or one side cut longer and I think it is what was binding. It's way too late to exchange at the store so I guess I'll use my tiny old reliable piece of junk and comb estate sales for an older, proven Swingline model.
Comments about Swingline Optima Grip Compact Stapler:
I love this stapler. I just purchased my 3rd one today. The first one was dropped a couple of years ago and never worked right after. The second one just stopped working today, and I will get in touch with Swingline regarding this. So, I purchased another one today. This is the best stapler I've ever used. I love the compact size, and I've never had a problem with jams. I use the Swingline SF3 half strip staples. I would most definitely recommend this stapler. Those that post bad reviews may be trying to staple too many sheets at once. I've never had an issue, and I've used it for stacks of papers up to 25-30 sheets.
Comments about Swingline Optima Grip Compact Stapler:
I purchased this stapler for our business as our previous one was cheap and kept jamming. This one advertised "Jam Free Guarantee." Now that I have it it jams more than the cheap one I bought! I would never purchase another one of these staplers and from now on will spend less on something I know will not last long.
Comments about Swingline Optima Grip Compact Stapler:
The stapler does not staple one after another anymore. It staples one time, then the top must be opened and then it will staple a second time. very tedious...
Comments about Swingline Optima Grip Compact Stapler:
stopped working during the first day of use. I was stapling no more than 2 sheets of paper together at one time. Not happy.

The Easter holidays are here; I am fatigued after our epic holiday last week. We managed to fit in Paultons Park, Legoland and Longleat and family visiting!
It did not help that youngest did not sleep as well on holiday, staying in a teenagers room, every night he would look at all the posters on the walls of One Direction and say who is that daddy? Who is that uncle? Then he decided that there was an invisible ant infestation and would only sleep lying across me with no part of him touching the bed!!! Luckily now we are home he has settled back to a slightly better routine.
So my batteries were well and truly depleted to go straight into the Easter holidays and trying to come up with activities to keep the boys occupied (and catch up on the mountain of post holiday washing!) is somewhat of a challenge!
I thought I was quite clever and had stocked up on a great selection of cheap glitter glues, paint sticks and feathers from Tesco… well they managed to use practically all of the supplies in one sitting!!! Glitter was squeezed out of each tube into giant whirly piles on the paper…
Back to the drawing board I thought I better make head way on planting our sunflowers. So I gave the boys a tub each, some compost and a little sunflower seed.
The pots are now in our house and hopefully something will happen over the next few weeks so I can get some photographic proof! Ideally I should have planted all the seeds to up our potential success rate, but after using the three tubs that exhausted our supplies…
We have bought a watering can to assist us in our efforts too! And two shiny silver gardening tools, there names fail me… one is pointy the other not so much! Anyway am sure they will help us in our endeavours, so watch out Margot and Barbara and The Good Life Mum.

The Premier League have introduced new concussion rules ahead of the upcoming season.
In the wake of a number of high profile incidents clubs have now been told that the decision of the team doctor will now be final in the event of a head injury.
This summer's World Cup saw both Uruguay's Alvaro Pereira and Javier Mascherano of Argentina involved in clashes which saw them stay on despite concussion symptoms while Tottenham's Hugo Lloris did similar back in November after colliding with Romelu Lukaku.
But new Premier League rules state: "When a serious head injury is suffered on the pitch (in matches or training) that the ruling of the doctor/medical practitioner is final."
There is also a new requirement for all Premier League matches to include a 'tunnel doctor', who will support the team doctors in recognising the signs of concussion.
It will be mandatory for all Premier League medical staff to carry the 'concussion recognition tool'.
The new FA guidelines state: "If there has been a confirmed or suspected period of loss of consciousness, the player must be removed from the field of play, and not be allowed to return.
"If here is any doubt as to the course of events, elucidation may be sought from officials or other players. In the event that there is video replay available pitch-side or in the players' tunnel, this could be used to clarify the course of events.
"Where no loss of consciousness is apparent an on-field or touchline assessment will take place."

As the title says, is MM that far behind at all? is it a viable choice?
As the title says, is MM that far behind at all? is it a viable choice?
It is not viable. It's PvE rotation is not fun, either. I just don't see the appeal in the lack of a defined rotation. They need to define whether they want hunters to use Aimed Shot as a focus dump or Arcane Shot. They need to get rid of the several talents clogging up the rotation. It's damage right now is just not great. You'll probably put in twice the effort into achieving the proper rotation and still be behind many other specs. With BiS gear it might surpass some specs, but who knows. BM is supreme and Survival is very decent post-Serpent Sting buff, and is king of AoE.
Not hard per se but I think what he meant was if you roll your face on your keyboard as BM, you will still do good (Kripparrian showed that by afk'ing majority of an LFR fight and still being in the top of the meters). Whereas, you would do horrible as MM. MM has a higher rotation penalty than the other two.
To answer the op, yes it is viable now with the buffs it got, but it is still the lowest hunter spec. So the real question is, why would you ever want to go MM ? I don't think any raid would require low dps or that the raid leader would say 'dude you're doing way too much dmg, switch to a shittier spec'.
If the fight requires high single target damage, BM is ~5k+ dps ahead of a perfectly played MM. If the fight requires aoe, nothing even comes close to SV. If the fight requires cleaving, again SV. If the fight has a lot of target switching, SV or even BM with blink strike. MM just can't catch up to the other two specs in any situation. So why use it.
MM being more complicated makes SV and BM a lot more appealing to most. Why play the harder spec that does less damage?
inb4 "having fun"
What are you talking about ? I said he "afk'd". Does player skill seep through the keyboard and embed itself as artificial intelligence that plays for you when you're away ? Skill has nothing to do with it. Majority of your damage comes from your pet. He simply spammed all cooldowns, and let his pet simply attack and he auto shot.
But that's all besides the main point, BM is the top damage spec out of all three and is really easy to play and has very little penalty for messing up the 'rotation'. MM is the lowest damage spec, and has a high penalty.
The buff brings it to almost as good as pre buffed BM. On aimed shot vs arcane.... how is it unclear? You use aimed shot during CA, Arcane shot otherwise unless you have enough haste buffs to warrant it. Fire mages in cata would spam pyroblast during high haste moments and I never saw complaining about that....
MM is a shitty spec. It does less single target than BM and Surv and does less AOE than surv. The numbers on the spec's dps potential are kind of skewed because the CA phase props up the dps/damge of that spec. But in reality (especially if you're doing heroic content) it is inflated/fluffer dps that does not matter at all. The spec needs to be redesigned and brought up to par. I wouldn't mind it being a suitable alternative to single target that was on par with BM with subpar AOE, it still would have a niche/use. Right now MM has no niche and there is no reason to use the spec. The spec is a jack-of-no-trades and master of nothing. It has some cool and unique abilities but that doesn't mean anything when the damage is not there.
MM is not viable. Personally, I love the rotation, reminds me the golden age of MM (middle Cata). Way higher focus regen makes you constantly think how to use it properly and not waste too much. That's what rotations should look like - a bit strict, but not brainless either.
MM is just bad because of raw damage. Aimed Shot deals too small, Chimera Shot deals too small, Steady Shot doesn't deal any. Simply put. Fixing the raw dps fixes the spec, but currently we are at the bottom line of recount.
But if you're in a totally casual guild, then the difference in damage wouldn't matter.
So going back on point, @op, if you're in a casual guild, you can play MM for sure. You will do decent damage. But if you're in a progression raiding guild, it is not viable.

Short Answer to the OP question: No, is not that far behind as people want to believe.
Long Answer: Most of the simulations agree that is almost as good as SV or better, with both specs just a bit behind BM. (after the buff at top ilevel seems that BM and MM are almost equal with SV slightly above). http://www.noxxic.com/wow/pve/hunter/marksmanship
The answer for the bad reputation for MM can be found in several points:
1. MM is the one spec where the ilevel change does the difference. At raid entry levels the difference between BM and MM is huge (more than 10% DPS, even more), this difference gets reduced with the rise in ilevel and it seems that in some point MM will be again the spec of choice or just behind SV (but can take a while) as BM doesnt scale as good.
2. Stats on BM and MM are diametrical oposed. This can seem irrelevant but most people run the test, dummys or boss fights with the same gear for both specs and i can tell you that a MM spec with BM gear can do 20% less DPS just because low haste and high mastery.
3. The rotation in MM is really complex to master. While BM seems like a "hit the refreshed cooldown" and pet does more dps than the hunter (im not kidding, Unselect the "merge pets with owners" option on recount and the top DPS hunter alone does less dmg than some tanks and even monk healers") MM needs some planning and resources management. This can be very tricky to master and execute properly and you loose more dmg missing a shot in MM than in any other spec.
4. As Frostheim (WoW insider hunter writer) said: The best players will play the top DPS Spec. That means that top players while using BM scores DPS that a regular guy cant even dream, even with the same spec and gear. If regular players do low dmg (comparatively) using the top spec, what can you get when you try to compare the dmg that average people do with MM versus the dmg that the top players do with BM. http://wow.joystiq.com/2012/11/08/sc...nship-hunters/
5. Yes MM is viable, No MM is not the top spec. At the end people just see this, from the same mindframe that brings us "Dailies are mandatory" comes the thought that to be competitive you have to use the single best and nothing else. If you aim for the best DPS, use BM, period.
T.L. D.R. MM is not that far behind, but is behind. If you aim for the best dps there is, dont use it. If you are in a regular guild where you dont requiere to milk every drop from your dps it can be good and fun but expect to practice it a few times before you do competitive DPS.

I agree with what Ladern said.
But the numbers you linked ladern, are used with normal 496 ilvl gear, not bis gear. With full t14 heroic gear the gap widens considerably.
MM may seem to scale slowly but the real factor affecting MM dps is the weapon. MM is extremely weapon dependant so at low gear levels it will perform poorly compared to BM or SV with the same weapon. Just swap the weapon out for a higher ilvl one, and MM will sky rocket and close the gap. But, even considering all that, with the best weapon available and full heroic t14, in a patchwerk encounter the dps values are:
i find MM fun, the roation is good and steady, and i still top my guilds damage meters.
only conserns is the lack of burst when target switching on Elegon and similar bosses, and AoE.
Single target fights MM is 100% viable.
Viable: practicable; workable: a viable alternative.
From google.com ( dictionary.com had no results)
Optimal: Best or most favorable; optimum.
Gay and liking men are synonyms. Given the mage example I would say that frost is viable, but since arcane is higher, it is optimal. ( Given patchwerk fight). What it comes down to is what you consider high enough dps to kill any given boss. This is certainly subjective and depends on the boss but its likely clear that you can kill every single boss in this game with a properly played and geared MM hunter in your raid.
Being progression and casual is an attitude, choosing to play a spec that you like over one that does xxx number of dps ( as long as it isn't TOO much) isn't wrong. Here is a Method parse where a both a frost mage and an arcane mage dps. Clearly he should go arcane because numbers right? Wrong. Maybe he was doing a different job than the arcane mage? Maybe, but not according to their damage target breakdown. Its very similar with slightly higher add damage on the frost mage.
You throw out this term casual as if it is supposed to be an insult for people who don't play well or don't care about doing well. If everyone swapping to the "top spec" everytime it changed, you wouldn't see a single hunter in top raiding guilds as they would have rerolled mage. So you can play what class you want but not the spec? what?
And as for my pyroblast example, I was talking about alysrazor and sinestra as you mentioned. The context is everything as I was referring to the similarities of hard casting aimed shot outside of CA phase. ( You would never do that unless you had multiple haste buffs, which you won't have unless you're playing wrong to begin with.)
In your next post you say that the gap widens considerably between BM and MM, i'm not sure what you consider to be "considerably", but the number is 3%. Again I ask, if 3% is enough to justify not bringing a MM hunter, why bring any hunter at all over a mage? The difference between arcane and BM is over 12%!
A Ladern said so well, its not the top spec ( optimal) but its certainly is viable. Is it harder? I disagree with that but difficulty is entirely subjective.
I posted 496 cause its what most people will get and when i checked the data it seems like the correctly made the adjustments to gear and reforge. Using femaledwarf i get numbers similar to yours but with MM almost as equal as SV, but did the change of Haste <=> Crit after the second haste plateau. Without that i found the same numbers as Saoron.
This can show the delicate balance of a MM hunter DPS, that while not number breaking (the theorical DPS difference is less than 5%) could lower the spec just cause a technical data that not everyone know (the "clipping" of the Steady Shot rotation with Chimera, "talent" shot).
Also, our burst comes from lining Aimed Shot with Chimera but that requires planning and is not as easy as it could be with other specs. And i agree that in AoE fights we have a very bad shape, even with tailored talents and glyphs.
OT: MM is just perfetic this expac and I doubt blizz will change that anytime soon..
And lol what are you even talking about. There is this thing called raid comp. It matters.
Again, two different guilds would handle 'comp' dependant fights differently based on their category. Casual guilds don't have the luxury of multiple geared alts and a massive roster so they have to go with what they have. And yes in upto a semi-hardcore (non top 100) setting, you can play whatever class you can, but NOT the spec, that is right. If a guy like you were a mage in a top guild in Dragon Soul and you were progressing on Heroic Spine, and you insisted on playing fire or frost. You'd be gkicked so fast your head would spin.
And If i were to swap a class i'd be bringing an alt, gearing it up etc etc. To change specs I click a button. You're comparing apples and oranges here.
Garalon for example, pre nerf/fix, hunters WERE sat, completely. In almost all the top guilds. And some brought in rogue/mage alts or were replaced. You could NOT kill garalon with an 'MM hunter', that is a fact. Barring world top 10, rosters got more leniant and we saw some hunters here and there who were playing BM or SV for multi dotting. Granted MM was complete shit back then but you get my point though. Raid comp is a huge factor in progression.
And the difference between arcane and frost is NOT the same as BM vs MM. Like I said in my earlier post, MM brings nothing to the table that other specs can't do better. Frost IS better at certain things than arcane. Burst aoe, cc etc.
And lol once again, raid comp. There are certain things a hunter brings that a mage can't. If they could, there would be no hunters in top guilds for sure. But if you were in a progression guild, you'd know that raid buffs and other utilities are as important as raw class damage, generally speaking.
And yes, 3% is a make or break in the progression race where guilds consistently have 1% wipes. If an MM hunter is in a progression guild (for god knows what reason) and the guild wipes to enrage at less than 5% consistently. It's on him. He needs to go BM to squeeze out as much dmg as possible. And going from MM to BM makes no difference to hunter utility whatsoever. The ONLY change happens is both your single target and aoe dmg increases.
So, I repeat, for PROGRESSION, MM is not viable. But for casual raiding AND farm, go to town. It makes no difference. The log you were mentioning was most likely a farm log. Where enrages/dps doesn't matter since everyone outgears the content.

This is believed to be the highest proportion ever of travelling Gloucester supporters going to a major game by coach.
"We believe that the huge numbers of coach bookings received by KSM, reflects accurately our fair pricing policy" said Bob Rumble, chairman of KSM.
KSM wish to advise those travelling of the following:
That all coaches will depart the club car park, Kingsholm at 8am on Sunday (by special arrangement there is shuttle service from Stroud and Stonehouse - for those who have pre-booked this facility).
That regrettably there will be no car parking available at the ground, due to the number of coaches needing to manoeuvre and park.
That the clubhouse will be open from 7.15 am for bacon rolls, teas and coffee.
That the club shop will also be open at 7.15 am and John Hudson Sports will also have a tented selling point at The Stoop..

Last week, the House Ways and Means Committee finalized its subcommittee selections for the 113th Congress. U.S. Congressman Dave Reichert is serving as Chairman of the Human Resources Subcommittee and as a member of the Trade Subcommittee.
"As Chairman of Human Resources, I will be working with my colleagues from both sides of the aisle to improve those programs that are designed to help Americans who have fallen on hard times," said Reichert. "I look forward to leading efforts to ensure those who are able to work have the tools necessary to secure employment, and provide for themselves and their families. In Washington's 8th district, sustaining and creating jobs for those seeking opportunity goes hand-in-hand with international trade. International trade creates and supports hundreds of thousands of Washington State jobs. Serving on the Trade Subcommittee will help to ensure that Washington farmers, workers, businesses, and services providers, and all American businesses, have access to consumers outside of our borders and can continue to excel in the global marketplace."
"The Committee faces a very busy Congress as we work to make our economy stronger and healthier so families can find good-paying jobs and afford to save and invest for the future," said Ways and Means Chairman Dave Camp. "Establishing the membership for these subcommittees is an important step forward as we pursue an aggressive legislative agenda to make the tax code simpler and fairer; move forward on new opportunities in the global marketplace while holding our trading partners accountable; conduct rigorous oversight -- especially as the Administration struggles to implement ObamaCare; and, take action to protect, preserve and prolong the life of our entitlement programs."
The House Ways and Means Committee is the oldest committee of the U.S. Congress and is the chief tax-writing committee. It was first established as a select committee in 1789 and became a standing committee in 1802. Rep. Reichert has served on this committee since January of 2009.

Eggers vs Macca. It's on.May 18, 2012
As I stood at the Teens Living With Cancer Hole in one golf tournament I couldn't help but stare at the pictures. They were like posters on a stick with the faces and the names of the Teens. Every other one….. is dead. Sobering to say the least.
The passion for this two person organization burns still and it burns bright. I f*cking hate cancer. HATE IT. My hatred for it stirs something within me that I can't explain. Cancer is a bastard. I am so tired of it ripping people away from me and away from ….. anyone. Right now I have one way to fight back and one way to arm these teens who have had cancer… in their battle to prevent a secondary cancer.
Challenging World Champions to a kick off. Good god it happened again.
I am not sure how we got it started. My homegirl Jen Small and I were conversing on Twitter yesterday and somehow…. with a few others joining in on the conversation I found myself with another challenge on hand. This time…. two time Ironman World Champion Chris McCormack, known to those of us in triathlon world as Macca.
So it's on. Macca and I will kick off in Kona this October. I will be there coaching and well, for the underpants run. Lifelong dream folks. I know, aim high.
I will be very honest with you. Since the Armstrong kick off ended I was feeling a bit lost. We raised a lot of money but we have more to go. We have more to do, we have more teens to reach. I have this platform and I need to use it. I look at these Teens week after week and I need to keep this ball bouncing, rolling, spreading. I feel an insurmountable … feeling that I need to continue this.
Having a bigger purpose is a gift. Having something to work for that is so much more than you gives you drive like none other.Those who don't understand will think it's about you. Those who do get it….. you guys….. get that it's all about Teens Living With Cancer.
Mr. McCormack lost his mother to breast cancer and began a foundation called MaccaNow. It's amazing. It's wonderful. What a way to honor the woman who raised you. I identify with him in his experience with cancer just like I did Mr. Armstrong. Just like I do these teens. What if we keep pulling those who are at the forefront in the fight…. what if we keep pulling them together. Keep fighting. Keep challenging, keep kicking….. together you and I ….. we make a difference.
Many more details to come. We have some time. And don't worry, I ain't afraid of M. McCormack. He is an Aussie which means he is completely crazy (crazy good as we say 'round here). Hell…… he gave me the secret to getting in his head right in his book. Mr. Armstrong wasn't easy on me and I sure as hell don't expect Mr. McCormack to be either. You bring it on brother.
The beautiful thing is this….. I have read your book, I have watched you race. You know nothing about me. I have had good results, I have had bad results. I have had everything in between sir. I have you right where I want you.(insert evil laugh here)
Mr. McCormack though….. is just another example of a professional athlete who is willing to use his platform and his place in this world to make a difference in a positive way. admire that beyond belief . I am inspired by that. I am inspired to reach as someone like he does. I thank people like him in this world who do something. And for the right reason.
"You did what?" My husband asked me. "Oh my god."
It's back to the kickboard I go. Being that those of you who aren't in the world of triathlon aren't aware of who he is…. this becomes a bit more intimate, a bit more organic but trust me we have the same focus and the same drive. Details are being worked out as we speak because…. well I didn't have a plan for this. It started out as a joke between Jen and I and well,Mr. McC. never backs down from a challenge.
I chicked Mr. Armstrong (choke, laugh) …. can I chick Macca? More importantly, how much can we raise? How much awareness can we bring? Can we absolutely kick the sh*t our of Cancer AGAIN?
Maybe these things are my way of giving cancer the middle finger. I have a feeling…. Mr. McC might feel the same way.
Oh and before I forget! Next Wednesday is our final assessment night of TLC Fit…. we have a special guest coming. An Ironman Champion. Stay tuned!

Sex films and comedies are two of the toughest chores for a film critic to discuss. Sexual arousal and laughter are involuntary responses, and it`s pretty tough to convince someone that what he just laughed at isn`t funny.
Still, anyone who laughs at ``Pee-Wee`s Big Adventure`` ought to be put through an airport metal detector.
There have been carefully planted reports by Warner Bros. that audiences in the Far West actually have enjoyed ``Pee-Wee`s Big Adventure,`` which was released there last week because Pee-Wee is very popular in heavily cabled cities. But that`s just another reason not to visit California anytime soon.

In both the Grade 10 and Grade 11 classes, we've been working pretty hard!
Since we are coming to the end of our third science unit – the periodic table and the atom – I decided to do a a circle game with our whiteboards for quick review. I didn't realize it's been at least three weeks we'd gone without a little powwow, because the students were so excited and cheered when I told them about my plan!
I threw up a periodic table onto the Smartboard. We then practiced, as a group, on how to draw the Bohr* diagram, Lewis dot diagram and how to draw ions. The students who had remembered last week's lesson was quick to refer to the group number for their "Lazy Lewis" diagrams, while the ones who didn't remember were given an opportunity, in a supportive setting, to relearn the concept.
We worked on approximately 3-4 examples before I asked to collect a mark. I assigned students a variety of elements and they had to hand in their whiteboard as an "exit ticket". I knew that whiteboards erase pretty quickly (and are also hard to carry around for marking) so I snapped pics of all the boards, making sure that they had written their name.
Overall, a pretty success lesson!

Sigma-Aldrich Launches High-Fidelity CRISPRs to Enable Precise Gene Editing for Academic and Industrial Applications
Innovative paired-nickase design provides breakthrough that minimizes off-target effects to accelerate genetic research
May 06, 2014, 07:00 ET from Sigma-Aldrich Corporation
ST. LOUIS, May 6, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Sigma-Aldrich Corporation (Nasdaq: SIAL) today announced the availability of high-fidelity Sigma® CRISPR paired nickases, a novel patent-pending gene editing tool that can be easily and inexpensively employed in academic, agricultural, pharmaceutical, human health and other applications. The high-fidelity CRISPR technology has been designed to reduce unintended off-target gene modifications, providing the research community with a robust, reliable and precise tool to interrogate and modify plant, animal, and human biology.
Sigma-Aldrich has engineered and developed high-fidelity CRISPRs to reduce unwanted DNA modifications by employing a paired nickase approach. Single unmodified CRISPRs can cause specific double stranded breaks in DNA but they are also prone to cause off-target gene modifications1-5. In contrast, a pair of Sigma-Aldrich high-fidelity CRISPR nickases may be used to make nicks in close proximity and on opposite DNA strands in order to generate a double stranded break. This design dramatically reduces the likelihood of generating off-target gene changes, while maintaining the ability to yield highly efficient and specific gene modifications.
"Sigma-Aldrich is a leader in developing and supplying genetic manipulation technologies. Our siRNA and shRNAs are widely used for gene knockdown studies and our CompoZr® Zinc Finger Nucleases for precise genomic editing. Now, our high-fidelity CRISPRs are making precise genetic manipulation available for a wider range of applications," said Shaf Yousaf, Vice President, Technology and Business Development at Sigma-Aldrich.
"Just as Sigma-Aldrich improved and reduced the cost of zinc finger nucleases with CompoZr® zinc finger technology nucleases to provide the research community access to this gold-standard method for genome editing, our laboratories have worked to advance CRISPR engineering to attenuate its chief disadvantage - off-target activity - to offer scientists the fastest, most economical source for quality CRISPR designs," said Greg Davis, Ph.D., Principal Investigator, R&D at Sigma-Aldrich.
Genome editing with CRISPR RNA-guided nucleases has quickly gained popularity due to the relatively simplistic design process and their ability to efficiently modify or add genes in multiple species. To accelerate gene editing research, Sigma-Aldrich's exclusive online bioinformatics tool is available to quickly generate high-fidelity CRISPRs against desired targets in human, rat, and mouse exomes. For other organisms or for more sophisticated applications, Sigma-Aldrich's expert genome editing bioinformatics team, which has developed advanced design toolsets based on cutting-edge public and proprietary CRISPR guidelines, can be consulted at no charge. Visit www.sigma.com/crisprs for additional information and to access these tools.
Sigma-Aldrich conveniently supplies its CRISPRs in plasmid and RNA-only formats to meet a wide variety of delivery needs for cell culture and embryo microinjection in health and industrial applications.
When investigators require greater specificity than existing CRISPR applications can provide, Sigma-Aldrich's CompoZr zinc finger nucleases provide a high-fidelity option with a well-published track record of preserving genomic integrity and well-defined intellectual property.

The self-begetting novel is a major sub-genre of this century. Its paradigm is Marcel Proust's A la recherche du temps perdu, at the same time an account of its own birth and of the rebirth of its principal protagonist as novelist…. Notable examples of self-begetting novels since Proust's have been Jean-Paul Sartre's La Nausée, Michel Butor's La Modification, and Claude Mauriac's La Marquise sortit à cinq heures. Iris Murdoch's Under the Net (1954) is a remarkable instance of this French tradition transposed to British soil. (p. 43)
On the very first page of Murdoch's very first novel [Under the Net], published soon after her study of Sartre [Sartre: Romantic Rationalist], the narrator [Jake Donaghue] presents himself as, perhaps like his creator, arriving in England 'with the smell of France still fresh in my nostrils'…. His suitcases are heavy with French books.
Jake Donaghue never relinquishes the center of attention in...

Community Portal
Orçamento $30-5000 USD
I need a community portal with following elements:
- News aggregated from few sources
- Multiuser blog
- Forum
- Whitepapers
All sections are pretty self-explanatory. Whitepapers will be a simple download of articles placed there by an admin - nothing more complex than that.
Front Page will have to have few sections like latest blogs, latest news, latest forum posts, hot forum topics, latest whitepapers and similar - all coming from the other sections.
Of course, it will have to have single sign-on for all those sections.
Design will have to be clean and simple (e.g. [url removed, login to view]).
I'm not sure about the technical solution. I saw great sites done by Drupal, Joomla or Wordpress+Vbulletin integration.
Joomla so far seems to be the best choice. iJoomla news and magazine, Community Builder and Fireboard components seem to provide all the features and widgets I need and it doesn't integrate. I'm just concerned about performance if I set up all those components.
There are great sites done with Drupal but it seems that it will need a bit more customization.
I will need some help with deciding on the technical solution, you will then have to implement it and finally I will need about 1000 Wordpress posts migrated to the new solution.
You will ideally already have experience with similar sites. Please include some links in your bid.

Police custody for Lt Col in arms licence case
November 26, 2008 17:22 IST
Purohit, who was arrested by the Nashik crime branch on Tuesday, was produced before Joint Civil Judge V V Joshi where police custody was sought.
The case against Purohit had been registered by Pune resident Shirish Date in the Sarkarwada police station in Nashik on November 16.
Date, a family friend of Purohit, stated in his complaint that a license for a gun had been obtained for him by the army officer.
The Pune resident claimed fake documents showing him as a resident of the military camp in Devlali were used to obtain the arms license for him.
The Nashik police took custody of Purohit on Monday after moving an application before the special MCOCA court conducting the trial in the Malegaon blast case.
Earlier, the Pune ATS had taken custody of Purohit for providing an arms license using fake documents to Date's relative.
Another accused in the Malegaon blast, Sudhakar Chaturvedi, is also alleged to have obtained a country-made revolver from Purohit.
Eleven persons, including Purohit, have been arrested so far for their alleged involvement in carrying out the September 29 blast in Malegaon which left six dead and over 80 injured.

Profile photo/Cindy Boykin dominance and control, the incidence of violence, shootings, and tension-related diseases decrease, adding years to men's lives. in the concluding few minutes, Steinem opened the forum to questions. Taking a wide array of in- quiries, one summed up Steinem's message best. a young female college student noted that given the women's movement accomplishments in the workplace and at home, "What do you see our role to be in the future?" Steinem replied, "anything you want it to be! There is no role."

REACH, Resource Centers on Independent Something in the way she moves… Women's movement icon Gloria Steinem spoke to a crowd of about a thousand people, both men and women, at the UT Dallas activity Center auditorium in april. in what may sound like a departure from previous calls to action, Steinem's lecture was titled "Women and Men: a Partnership for the 21st Century." She stressed issues for which she is best known, want- ing equal rights for women and minorities, but she also expressed understanding of the unique pressures and stereotypes men confront. in a David letterman-style "Top Ten" list, she addressed stereo- types that must be abandoned in order to have healthier personal lives and ultimately a stronger society. With humor, she recalled the days when typing was considered an exclusively feminine skill. But with the advent of personal computers, men discovered almost overnight that they could type, too! Stereotypical roles of parenting were also challenged. She re- minded everyone that women aren't the only ones who are capable of being compassionate and nurturing caregivers. Men also have these abilities. She joked with the guys that the women's movement can actually extend their lives by four or more years.

It really seems like show wanted Ed in the end. They prob panicked when she was really taking Reid so seriously and then they got CH involved so their plan didn't backfire.Originally Posted by jojo325;3619225;
It's puke time.
So, let's see....a week ago, if Reid had just said 3 little words, there would have been a different result (at least that's how I interpreted what she was saying - am I crazy?). And now, Ed better not f*&^ing disappoint her and not pop the question? Is this girl serious? Is she really ready to get engaged to guy B when she was ready to commit to guy A a week ago? There is some messed up thinking going on....honestly...
