The Particulars

Follow From Home
GoCrimson.com will provide live statistics for this weekend's games, all home games and most road contests this season. Live audio and video will be available via a subscription for both games this weekend. Glenn Conway and Matt Sawyer will once again have the call on GoCrimson.com.
Series History
Entering Friday's game, Harvard owns a 13-3-0 lead in the series against Clarkson, dating back to the 2004-05 season. Last year, the teams split with Clarkson earning a 2-0 shutout Nov. 14. In the final game of the regular season, Harvard clinched its second straight ECAC Hockey regular-season title with a 6-1 win over the Golden Knights at Bright Hockey Center on Feb. 21. In that contest, Jenny Brine '09 and Sarah Vaillancourt '08-09 each scored two goals, while Liza Ryabkina and Kate Buesser notched a goal apiece.
The Crimson and Saints have met 42 times, with Harvard holding a 26-11-5 advantage in the all-time series. After winning all three games against St. Lawrence in 2007-08, Harvard split its two contests against the Saints a year ago. On Nov. 15, 2008, St. Lawrence held off the Crimson, 3-1, with Cori Bassett tallying the lone Harvard goal. Three months later, Harvard shut out St. Lawrence, 4-0, at Bright Hockey Center on Feb. 20, 2009, as Vaillancourt and Buesser netted two goals each, while Christina Kessler stopped 22 shots in net.
Last Time Out
Harvard earned a 2-1 victory in its season opener at Colgate Friday, as Leanna Coskren and Anna McDonald found the back of the net for Crimson goals. Christina Kessler made 29 saves, including six in the final four minutes, and Harvard finished the game a perfect 5-for-5 on the penalty kill.
On Saturday afternoon, Katharine Chute had a goal and two assists, and Kathryn Farni handed out two assists of her own, but the Crimson fell at Cornell, 4-3. McDonald scored a goal for the second straight game, and Jillian Dempsey notched her first collegiate goal, coming on the power play at 18:23 of the second period.
Milestone Watch
With its 2-1 victory at Colgate Friday, the Harvard women's hockey team now stands at 499 victories in program history. The Crimson owns a 499-288-38 record over its storied 31-year history.
Harvard Coach Katey Stone
Katey Stone is in her 16th season as the Landry Family Head Coach for Harvard Women's Ice Hockey, and she brings a 320-137-22 record into Friday's game. Stone, who ranks second all-time in Division I victories, has led Harvard to all seven of its NCAA tournament appearances. Stone is also the active leader in victories among Division I women's hockey coaches.
Stone is 17 wins shy of tying the all-time Division I record, held by Laura Halldorson (337 victories.)
It's All Over
Harvard is 95-1-4 since the start of the 2004-05 season when leading after two periods.
First Things First
The Crimson was 18-0-2 when scoring first and 1-10-1 when the opponent lit the lamp first last season. So far in 2009-10, Harvard is 1-1 when the opposition scores first.
Bright Spot
The Crimson was 9-4-2 record at Bright Hockey Center last season, while posting a 9-5-1 mark on the road. The Crimson was 1-1-0 at neutral sites in 2008-09.
Just Win, Christina!
Senior goaltender Christina Kessler is 56-14-3 in her career in net, placing her second on Harvard's all-time goalie win list. Ali Boe '06 is Harvard's all-time winningest goaltender with 63 victories.

Fully Insured Exemplary Heating and Air Conditioning Company in Burson, California.
Hours of Operation: Monday – Friday, 8:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m.
Burson CA Heating Ventalation and Air Conditioning Repair
Reasons To Choose Performance Based Heating & Air in Burson California.
Emergency & 24 Hour Service
Do you need to have an air-conditioning system put into your home? Perhaps you want to do something more than add a couple of air-conditioning units in your windows. Many people will contact an HVAC professional that will be able to install a central heating and air system that will keep you warm during the winter and cool during the summer. The following information will show you why working with Performance Based Heating & Air may be the best decision that you can make to fulfill this objective.
Hvac Burson
A HVAC company is a business that can install a wide range of equipment that is designed to modify the temperature within your home. This equipment can also be used with large businesses and corporations, designed to maintain the equilibrium of the air within the structure that it is installed. This can be very inexpensive, costing just a few thousand dollars for a single family home, and can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars for a building. You will want to compare the different companies that are out there that offer this type of service, and in doing so, find a reputable business that offers excellent pricing.
Air Conditioning Burson
One of the primary reasons that people will contact an HVAC company is to install an air-conditioning system. There are a wide variety of different types including those that are powered by electricity, gas, propane, and those that transfer thermal energy. All of them can be installed in a relatively short amount of time, but it is recommended that you move forward with the project prior to summer approaching. This will give you time to assess the different companies that are out there, get multiple bids on how much it will cost, and then make the most appropriate choice. However, you may also want to contact one of these businesses that does repairs on an existing HVAC system that you have either recently installed that is having problems, or an older one that came with the home or building that you have acquired.
Air Conditioning Repair Burson
One of the most common problems with any heating and air-conditioning system is the AC unit going out. This can happen for a number of reasons including problems with the coolant, filter issues, or it could be the motor itself. Sometimes the issue is not mechanical but related to the ducting system that transfers the cold air to the different areas. Blockages can form over time requiring them to be cleaned, but of all of the problems, it is typically something electrically related. There are a few other reasons that you should contact a company that does air-conditioning repairs. This would include not having a backup system to keep your family or workers cool.for all installations, and also repairs, you really can't go wrong with the Performance Based Heating & Air company that so many people recommend.
AC Repair Burson
The AC repair company that you call should have experience in handling all issues related to air-conditioning units, regardless of their size. If you have recently had one installed, you would simply have to call the same company that did the installation and take advantage of the warranty. Most companies will provide you with a minimum of six months of repairs and parts that you will not have to pay for, allowing you to get your brand-new system functioning once more. However, the problem in larger buildings may actually be the furnace if this is related to the heating system.
Furnace Repair Burson
A furnace can take quite a bit of time to fix if it is older. Many of the parts may not be readily available. Newer systems can be repaired quickly, particularly if they are very recent in their construction, requiring no more than a day to get things running once again. A furnace will typically last for a decade or more, pending that you actually are using one that has a significant amount of positive feedback from existing customers. You will want to choose a company to install one, if you do not have one, that is highly recommended and uses only the best systems available.
Air Conditioning Installation Burson
To install an air-conditioning unit, you will need to bring in a professional HVAC business that is operating in your area. As mentioned earlier, the timetable that you need to consider is how soon it will be until the hot summer months arrive. An example of this would be contacting businesses some time in late February in the northern hemisphere, allowing you time to receive estimates and get the company to start on the project. This will allow you to have everything installed, and ready to function, before April and May.
HVAC Repair Burson
HVAC companies can also do repairs on generate any type of heating and air-conditioning unit. It is recommended that you do have them come in for maintenance occasionally, making sure that small problems do not migrate into larger ones which could become very expensive. Most of the websites that you will find will state if they do offer repair services, allowing you to choose one very quickly. Always get estimates from each company that you find as this will typically save you hundreds of dollars.
Heating Repair Burson
When your heating system goes out, whether you are working with old-style baseboard heaters, or a central heating system, the HVAC business that you contact should know exactly how to repair everything so that it is functional. Sometimes the parts may take a few days to order if they are working with an older style unit, and they can also do simple heater repairs.
Heater Repair Burson
Unless you would prefer purchasing a new heating system, you might want to consider having one of the professionals that do HVAC repairs to come out to see what is wrong. It might be something as simple as your circuit breaker is not functioning, whereas it could also be a catastrophic failure within the system itself. You can discuss what type of heating system you have over the phone and they can give you a time when they can come out to see what is wrong. It might also be a good moment to ask about an air-conditioning unit installation if you do not have one currently at your location.
AC Installation Burson
If all you really need is an AC unit installed, you could have one done by one of these professionals. It is recommended that you use a central air unit if it is a large structure as it will cost far more to buy individual AC units. It is also recommended that you consider the possibility of installing both central heating and air. They can sometimes give you a much better deal if they are installing everything at the same time, plus they can use the equipment that will power both the heat and air-conditioning throughout your facility or home.
Central Heating And Air Burson
This is a top choice with many people that are upgrading from simple heaters and window-based air-conditioning units because it is simply much easier to use. Some people still burn wood or pellets, and by shifting everything over to a system that is controlled by thermostat, this can save you a considerable amount of time and money. You will need to contact if you contractors to get estimates, but the end result is going to be exactly what you need to keep constant temperatures within your home, as long as it is done with a competent HVAC contractor.
HVAC Contractor Burson
These companies have years or decades of experience in most cases. In fact, the combined experience of the owner of the company, as well as all of the workers could be several decades, making sure that you get the best possible service. They will be able to work up an estimate for how much it will cost to install everything, even if you also need a furnace.
Furnace Installation Burson
When you decide to go with a furnace installation, this is likely a decision that you will make for a larger facility such as a school or office building. It's simply a much more economical choice, and the reliability factor associated with a modern furnace typically motivates business owners to consider this option.
Heat Pump Installation Burson
Another popular way to heat a structure is to have a heat pump installed. It simply takes the outside air and brings it into the structure in order to create much more desirable temperatures. This is used in conjunction with the HVAC installation and can actually save you quite a bit of money. This is a choice that many people make when they are trying to install something that is as efficient as possible.
HVAC Company Burson
Once you have all of your estimates in, you can then choose the HVAC company that you believe will do the best job. This final choice is going to be the result of considering how much money they are charging, how long it will take, and the type of equipment that they will be installing in Burson CA.
AC Company Burson
If all you need is an air-conditioning unit, this is an option that you can take advantage of. Sometimes there are sales that are available from different HVAC contractors, and you can end up saving thousands of dollars. It is also possible that you may get a personal recommendation from a business owner that you know, or a friend that has recently used a top company that can help you with your air-conditioning unit. It really does pay to spend a little bit of extra time looking for the best air-conditioning company for repairs and installations.
Air Conditioning Company Burson
The AC company that you choose needs to have a good reputation in the community, one that exemplifies their ability to do good work and do so for an affordable price. Whether you are choosing one of these businesses to install a heating system, or a new central air system with ducting, you can determine which one will work the best based upon all of the estimates that you will receive.
For all of these reasons, you should consider contacting the Performance Based Heating & Air company that has a very good reputation. They are known for their low prices, excellent service, and their guarantee that what they install is going to last. They can also do repairs on your heating and air-conditioning units, and will definitely to their best to conform to your needs. Once they are done, you will certainly be glad that you contacted the Performance Based Heating & Air company, a business that you can trust in Burson California.
Excellence In HVAC Installation
Heating and air is complicated. If you need anything from reliable maintenance to repairs and installation of a new heating and air system, do not leave it up to chance. Who you hire matters a great deal more than the equipment they install. Equipment performance relies on accurate installation.
Locating a company with technicians who have a dedication to being some of the best in the business is as simple as stopping here . While there are plenty of semi-good pros out there, it can cost a pretty penny to get one who underperforms and does not know HVAC like we do.
Part And Parcel
Where parts are concerned, it is important to have a professional who can evaluate your heating and air system. Not just to lubricate and clean off parts, either.
Maintenance is a great time to catch potential issues and stretch out the life of a system. Even so, sometimes it's time to invest in a new system. We do maintenance and repairs, but also design duct systems, and perform an installation. We also perform change outs and mini splits. We perform heat load calculations, work with gas furnaces, heat pumps, and package units, and evaporative coolers too.
Why Not Repair It?
Matching up an old heat pump from 30 years ago with a mechanical fit according to the manufacturer's specifications is challenging. Even worse, it may not be worth the money and time. Why? A newer machine is significantly more efficient, and the heat pump's days are already numbered; meaning, it could die any day.
We are skilled and can put together parts for you as in the above example. Because we have that first-hand experience and ability, we will tell you when it makes more financial sense to invest in a new system.
The Installation Process
The good part is if you live in Tuolumne or Calaveras counties in California, you are in luck. We gladly serve your areas.
Even if you are not living in our area, we want to share with you how important it is to ensure the right process is in play when buying a new system. We start out by interviewing our customers to find out what they need and want. Then we check static pressure to determine whether we need to tweak the duct system to increase air flow. We do that before installing a new system.
We focus on meeting your needs by explaining how the system installation is conducted. The quality of the installation matters more than the equipment. The equipment is a machine whose manufacturers provide expected output. The installation is the variable that can make or break the quality of the machine's efforts.
We do not waste breath talking about warranties (they all come with them) or our years of experience (it means nothing). When we do an installation we focus on explaining the process to you and conduct tests to find out the home's needs. To configure the system, we check to make sure it is living up to the standards of the equipment and needs of the homeowner.
We do a manual J load calculation and then a manual D duct design. Together this will establish the right equipment to move air throughout your home. We look at refrigerant levels, perform combustion analysis to establish the unit is heating properly. And then, when we are done with the rest of the installation we leave you in peace to enjoy your new system. We have you covered for emergency hvac repairs in Burson, CA.

The quarterback made history by rewriting the NFL record books, was named Sports Illustrated's 2013 Sportsman of the Year, and helped guide his team to a third-straight AFC West title and homefield advantage throughout the playoffs.
Now, Manning has another distinction to add to his December – AFC Offensive Player of the Month.
The quarterback earned the award on Thursday for an NFL-record eighth time in his career. It's the fourth time that Manning has been honored with the award as a Bronco, and the second time in 2013 – he also earned AFC Offensive Player of the Month honors for September earlier this season.
Manning's December included a pair of landmarks in both the quarterback's storied 16-year career and in NFL history – as Manning set NFL single-season records for touchdowns and passing yards in the final two games of the regular season.
The quarterback broke Tom Brady's NFL record of 50 touchdown passes in a single game in a 37-13 win over the Texans in Week 16, throwing his 51st touchdown pass to tight end
"It was great, to see a guy that's worked as hard as he has throughout his career and I know for a fact – the two seasons we've had him, almost two complete seasons – pretty remarkable and pretty exciting to be around," Head Coach John Fox said of Manning after the quarterback set the NFL single-season touchdowns record against the Texans. "To see a guy that goes about his business like he does get rewarded with success – very humble."
One week later, Manning broke Drew Brees' single-season passing yardage record, throwing for 266 yards in the first half of the Broncos' 34-14 win over the Raiders in their regular-season finale to bring his 2013 passing yardage total to an all-time best 5,477 yards.
"It is always rewarding when you put hard work in and you can reap those benefits with winning games, a two-minute touchdown drive, a fourth-down conversion, whatever that may be," Manning said after the Broncos' Week 17 win. "It makes you feel like it was worth putting that work and sacrifice in. I definitely feel like a lot of players feel that way through all that has occurred this season."
For the month of December, Manning completed 145-of-214 passes for 1,755 yards and 19 touchdowns against just three interceptions. He threw for four-or-more touchdowns in all but one game, leading the Broncos to a 4-1 record in that span.
After the Raiders game, Manning applauded the dedication and resilience of his teammates in battling through adversity throughout the 2013 regular season.
"We have had a number of distractions. Injuries, on-field situations, off-field situations," Manning said after the Broncos' win over the Raiders in the regular-season finale. "But I think the one constant has been the players' focus – they have remained focused on the task at-hand, on trying to improve everybody's individual play which hopefully would result in better team play."
"We have put the time in certainly with the football requirements from the Broncos and we have done things outside of the requirements – guys have done things on our own: weightlifting, throwing sessions, conditioning work, you name it," he added. "Guys have paid the price and sacrificed in order to get in this position. It is fun to play with guys like that who have that kind of work ethic and passion."
The month included a few other personal landmarks for Manning.
Manning's 25-for-28 passing performance against the Raiders was good for a completion percentage of 89.3 – the highest of the quarterback's career and the second-highest by a player with at least 28 attempts in a game.
Manning's NFL-record 55 touchdown passes also moved the quarterback's career total to 491, leaving him just 17 away from Brett Favre's NFL record of 508.

Here's my favorite quote from author Salman Rushdie:
"Those who do not have power over the story that dominates their lives -- the power to retell it, rethink it, deconstruct it, joke about it, and change it as times change -- truly are powerless, because they cannot think new thoughts."
This is so incredibly true for us as individuals, but also for groups, communities, nations, and businesses.
What stories about you and your business are you telling that bear changing -- that would allow you to think new thoughts, gain new/different desirable clients, and grow? I'm not talking about fabricated stories, but your authentic stories that could be dusted off, shined up, and retold in new ways.

What is Open Source information? The OSI foundation doesn't seem to be doing a good job of enforcing the trademark of the term Open Source. I hear and see it used in many ways in which it should not be and the term has been grossly eroded in meaning over the past decade.
Pretty standard term.
Trademarks are domain-specific, like how actual windows can still be called windows and Microsoft can't sue over Windows. The use of the term "open source" for intelligence information (OSINT) is as old as dirt and is used to differentiate between sources such as news papers/party organs/etc and information attained through clandestine means, either human intelligence (HUMINT) or signals intelligence (SIGINT). Nothing to get upset about. It's not like the article said he used "the well known, open-source hacker tool Linux..."
Ok, thanks for the explanation and wasn't aware that the term open source information had such a long history. Still, the term open source gets used in ways that it probably shouldn't be in relation to software.
I'm sure you'd still be in court for calling your new deodorant "Mountain Dew"
Yeah, there's a separate set of doctrines around "famous marks" [inta.org], which may have protection in all domains. So you can't call your new operating system Coca-Cola OS unless it's actually approved/licensed by Coke, despite that company not currently having any interest in the OS market.
It's open-source, not Open Source.
Which is a good argument to capitalize it if you want to own a piece of that phase.
What is Open Source information? The OSI foundation doesn't seem to be doing a good job of enforcing the trademark of the term Open Source
"Open source" simply means something that was openly published and available to the public. The term has been in use for at least a century. The OSI foundation has no trademark on the term.
That fact that this guy got the info from open sources doesn't make it okay. If I find your key under your doormat, that was stupid of you, but it doesn't make it okay for me to rob you. This jerk got what he deserves.
Pics or it didn't happen.
If there ever was a story where the pictures are worth more than any amount of words, this would be it. I'd go as far as to say that this would otherwise be a non-story if there are no pictures.
I thought those pic were leaked on purpose by the VIP public relations, to keep the names floating around in the media.
But maybe this is part of the game
617 [xkcd.com], frame 2.
I agree - is it still considered a "hack" when all the attacker did was guess the password from common (public domain) knowledge??
I don't think it changes the degree of wrong in his actions - but in this light we shouldn't revel in the miraculous technical innovations used to snipe some celeb p0Rn.
is it still considered a "hack" when all the attacker did was guess the password from common (public domain) knowledge??
Yes, much like a golf cart is still considered a vehicle.
It's still breaking and entering even if the door is wide open.
Yes but.... if he broke into her home, stole physical photos, and released them.... most people would easily consider it as much, if not more, of a violation.... but would he ever face nearly the jail time for that as he did for this? I doubt it strongly.
Now, that isn't condoning what he did, clearly he was wrong, hell, I even called into question whether that FBI dad who tracked down the pedophile principal had overstepped ethical bounds by reading the reports in the first place. However, the punishment, if there is to be one, should not be out of proportion with the crime....
This puts him away not just longer than someone who commited a nearly identical crime by different means, it puts him away longer than many violent criminals who actually physically harmed people.
Hell, he will likely do more time than Whitey.
Yes but.... if he broke into her home, stole physical photos, and released them.... most people would easily consider it as much, if not more, of a violation.... but would he ever face nearly the jail time for that as he did for this? I doubt it strongly.
10 years is a fucking joke. Bankers destroyed the world economy and no one, except Iceland, charged any of them. There is no justice.
Further proof celebs are fucking dumb. This guy wasn't a "real hacker".
Well, he'll be going to a real prison with real criminals -- Slashdot's whinging about what is a hacker, a cracker, or a script kiddie is irrelevant.
He's hardly a criminal mastermind, but what he did was still illegal.

As illegal as breaking and entering into someone's home and stealing photos from a bedroom safe. Good to hear that the court system sees hacking for the serious crime it really is. Someone with a talent for computing shouldn't be given free license to break into someone elses devices and steal, and then provide some lame 'War Games' "it was just some innocent hacking" defense. 10 years will give him time to wonder if maybe he shouldn't play like some kind of untouchable omnipotent God at a keyboard. I look forward to hearing of more tough sentences in the future.
As illegal as breaking and entering into someone's home and stealing photos from a bedroom safe
I don't think it's as illegal as that. If someone breaks into your home and goes into your bedroom, that's scary not just because they stole your photos or money, but they could have easily run into someone and had to decide -- do I attack this person, do I turn this burglary into a rape, do I leave witnesses, etc.
I just looked up common sentences for burglary, and found an article that discusses burglary laws in New York (http://criminal.findlaw.com/criminal-charges/burglary-penalties-and-sentencing.html ). As I suspected, the main differences between degrees of burglary are whether it was a dwelling where someone lives and whether a weapon was involved. Both combined is first degree. One or the other is second degree. Neither (breaking into a store for instance) is third degree with a maximum sentence of 7 years. Hacking a phone should be the LEAST serious of any of those, really a fourth degree.
The reality is that hacking isn't that bad.
You are correct. The article states that he could have gotten 121 years if he'd been convicted on all 26 counts he was indited for. Real world third degree burglary adds up too when you've broken into a couple dozen stores. If the information in the article is correct, it looks like the average maximum sentence for each indictment is around 4.5 years, so 2.5 years less than you say for third degree burglary. It's just that he did it lots and lots of times. Sounds like he got off pretty easy, about 3 months per count.
The reality is that hacking isn't that bad.
Hacking isn't bad. Malevolent hacking is bad. When I was growing up my grandmother, bless her saint-like soul, taught me about right and wrong. She used to take me and my sister for walks and point out the various caterpillars and other insects, show us how to tell time by the position of the sun, how to make butter, all that crap. On one walk we happened to see a beautiful custom '71 Camero with the key in the ignition, and no one else around. I said "Geeze g'ma, some one could just drive off with that bea
I have a made-up narrative for an alter ego where I know all the answers to those questions (e.g., what's your mother's maiden name?) and I use those answers instead of the real ones. So you can do all the research you want on me, and you'll get wrong answers for those questions. But I'm weird that way...
I admire your creativity, but for normal mortals:
Q: What's your mother's maiden name?
A: qU$%3HHr28k4
OK, that makes me somewhat dependant on LastPass, but that's a somewhat smaller risk than outlined in TFS.
Further proof celebs are fucking dumb. This guy wasn't a "real hacker".
On the contrary, guessing a password is a truly classic hack. What is more of a "real hack" from your perspective? Downloading and running a cracking script? To guess a person's password from information publicly available about them is a prime example of security-oriented thinking.
The best hacks are tailored precisely to the circumstances.
"Illegal wiretapping gave Mr. Chaney access to every email sent to more than four dozen victims, and allowed him to view their most personal information," said US Attorney Andre Birotte Jr.
Gosh that sounds a lot like, "Illegal wiretapping gave the federal government access to every email sent to more than forty million victims, and allowed them to view their most personal information." Nobody went down for that one, though.
Further proof celebs are fucking dumb.
Oh for real Sherlock? You mean high-social-value individuals were fucking idiots for taking nudes and racy images of themselves when they know there are literally millions of people that want them... I think they should of given the guy a slap on the wrist as a warning against being a fucking moron.

I'm not quite clear why anyone thinks that putting things online in any capacity is safe from prying eyes, particularly if they're a celebrity. I don't defend the actions of these "hackers" (pfft), but the photo owners should be smart enough to take some precautions or find someone that can help them do it.

People who aren't tech-savvy shouldn't get damaged because of it. Would you want your grandmother to have her social security money to get stolen from her, then tell her she deserves what she got? "Shoulda' been bhind a firewall Gramma! That'll learn you!" Sheesh!
Stop blaming the victim. I've heard this so often, I'm finally going to snap. (Nothing personal.)
Make up your mind whether IT administration is easy or hard.
If it's easy, then the IT profession is perpetrating a massive scam and collecting fat paychecks for what is basically an easy job. I don't believe that, and I do not think you will find many people on Slashdot who support that position.
On the other hand, if IT is hard, then it's not fair to condemn non-professionals from being unable to do it. Rather than calling people "stupid" for not knowing things that we take for granted, we could actually try to promote public awareness and give people constructive advice.
he got additional years for being stupid. He should've known that in this society (and just about every society), crimes committed against the rich and famous are punished far more severely than crimes committed against the riffraff.
Even the gangbangers know this, they prey on lowly people in their own ghettos most of the time.
10 years is a ridiculous amount of time to be in prison for something like this. Child molesters and murderers get less time.
Child molesters and murders get less time because their sentences are reduced on appeal, they get time off for good behavior, or they are released early by parole boards or to reduce overcrowding. The same will happen to this guy. It is unlikely that he will be in the slammer for more than two or three years, and likely even less than that.
This is actually a good system, because the headlines show the initial (phoney) sentence, which has a deterrent value by scaring other potential perps, but we don't act

Hmmm in theory anyway. In practice, there is evidence that harsh sentances do not actually translate into significant deterrance.
A much stronger effect is seen by increasing the percieved likelyhood of gettin caught.
An excellent book that talked of this w
121 years if he was found guilty of every count and sentenced to serve consecutively. chances are the sentence would be concurrently for all counts and it would be a lot less
U.S. almost never does concurrent sentences.
He should have burgled the houses, and raped the nannies while he was at it, to steal physical photos... He would have got less time. He could have even murdered a couple of guards and got less than 10 years.
Well, he would have had to burgle many houses and probably killed/raped many nannies to get all the celebrity photos so I think as a serial rapist/murderer he might have seen more time.
10 years is a ridiculous amount of time to be in prison for something like this.
Well, he could have been facing a lot worse.
Chaney pleaded guilty in March, in a deal with prosecutors. He could have been jailed for up to 121 years if convicted on all 26 indictments he was originally charged with.
It's a steep sentence, but I have no sympathy for him -- nor more than I would for spammers, con-artists, or crooked politicians.
It's not like he could be under any illusion what he was doing was ever legal.
I don't know about your state but here it is pretty lengthy. Second degree murder has sentences that range from 10-20 years provided it is an isolated offence. If you already have convictions of certain types, it can be 25 years, or more. First degree murder is a life sentence or the death penalty. In cases of life, sometimes parole can be allowed, but not before 25 years and then it is still discretionary.
Something else you seem to forget is that he is charged of multiple crimes. You don't get to lump cri
It looks like the multiple charges (26 specifically) totaled up to 121 years of prison time.
That would require 5x 1st degree murders in your state to bring the minimum 25 years up to that amount, or 6-12x 2nd degree murders for the same.
He plead guilty to avoid getting the entire 121 years total, in exchange for serving only 10 years for all counts combined.
So if you use the time sentenced on a per-charge basis then that comes to a little over 4.5 years of prison per charge, which is in fact less than what
Child molesters and murderers will get more time if their victims are famous or rich.
If the victims are not connected or wealthy, then Child molesters and murderers get a slap or are ignored.
OTOH its a nice way to remind other people to stay the fuck out of systems which do NOT BELONG TO THEM.
I thought so too until I read this:

Chaney also targeted two women he knew, sending nude pictures of one former co-worker to her father.
The women, who both knew Chaney, said their lives have been irreparably damaged by his actions. One has anxiety and panic attacks; the other is depressed and paranoid. Both say Chaney was calculated, cruel and creepy.
When I hear movie and modeling celebrities giving these long stories about how their lives have been destroyed by having nude photos made public on the internet, I wonder whether that's what the district attorney told them they'd have to say to get a conviction. After all, how many of those celebrities would pose nude for Playboy or Vogue at a time when it would be good for their career?
However, distributing nude pictures of co-workers, who are private persons, is somethin

Why does it seem there is one set of rules for the little people and another set for big business?
"HSBC executives brushed off complaints from other bank employees, so that the problems persisted for eight years, the report says.
In addition, some HSBC bank affiliates skirted U.S. government bans against financial transactions with Iran and other countries, according to the report. And HSBC's U.S. division provided money and banking services to some banks in Saudi Arabia and Bangladesh believed to have helped fund Al Qaeda and other terrorist groups, the report said."

"The penalty includes a five-year agreement with the US department of justice under which the bank will install an independent monitor to assess reformed internal controls. The bank's top executives will defer part of their bonuses for the whole of the five-year period, while bonuses have been clawed back from a number of former and current executives, including those in the US directly involved at the time."
Why does it seem there is one set of rules for the little people and another set for big business?
Here you go: With Liberty and Justice for Some [salon.com]. Aside from the book, Glenn Greenwald has a lot of interesting insights at Salon [salon.com], and now writes for The Guardian [guardian.co.uk].
Our justice system only works (for certain definitions of "works") because we threaten insane sentences to force less-insane plea bargains.
We can't afford to have more than a tiny number of cases go to trial, or the system would break down. Not enough money, not enough judges, not enough lawyers.
Each hack is a different crime. Each crime has a minimum sentence. The rest is math. Most countries are no different.
Seriously. The guy did deserve to go to jail, but 121 years?!!! And he pleaded guilty to get "just" 10 years? It is no surprise U.S. prisons are full and U.S. has the highest number of prisoners per capita in the World...
Maybe he shouldn't have been doing things that are clearly illegal, without much question creepy, and doing these things to "high profile" people to boot?
Perhaps society should be protected from creeps this fucking stupid?
Also, keep in mind:
The indictments against him included accessing and damaging computers, wire tapping and identify theft.
...So we're not talking about just a few celebrity nudes.
He then allegedly communicated directly with contacts found in the hacked email account's address list and searched the account for photos, information and other data.
To control the account, Chaney is alleged to have altered the email's account settings to go to a separate, unrelated e-mail address that he controlled.
After gaining complete access to the hacked account, Chaney then used the contact list to "harvest" new targets, according to the FBI.
Just a little "innocent" hacking of "rich people" who should have known better?
And, keep in mind that if he wasn't already doing credit card theft, it was probably in his "script kiddie" queue.
I consider the real sickness here is the wierdness that is the mind of apparently most Hollywood stars.
I mean why do they apparently all carry nude pictures of themselves on their phones? Especially even knowing that phones can be hacked.
I can smell the Paris Hilton effect in action.... There is no such thing as bad publicity.
"I mean why do they apparently all carry nude pictures of themselves on their phones?"
Because they hope the phone will be "hacked" and the pictures posted online, thereby generating a great deal of publicity for them.
most sites have these watermarked or censored with black bars- REDACTED
Those are not particularly embarrassing pictures for a professional model.
Is it just me, or is it somewhat strange that these celebrities would have naked photos of themselves in their e-mail in the first place? I know I don't have any naked photos of myself in my gmail account, and I'm not even someone everyone wants to see naked. If you were a young, female celebrity who knew everyone wanted to see you naked, wouldn't you think twice before a) taking a naked picture of yourself and b) e-mailing it to anyone.
Or maybe I'm just a prude who doesn't know how to put his cell phone camera to good use.
Recent investments will yield a slight profit.

A Ruscombmanor Township man was stabbed to death this past week while on a business trip to Bimini in the Bahamas.
Carl Yerger, president of the Oley Valley Youth League, was fatally stabbed in what investigators are saying was a random act of violence.
Yerger�s wife, Rebecca, received a call late Thursday night saying her husband was fatally stabbed, according to Wendy Serba, vice president of the league.
�They said it was a random act of violence and that they had the suspects in custody,� Serba said. �Other than that, we have no additional information.�
A report in the Bahamas Press says Yerger�s body was found lying on the grounds of his hotel in Bimini. It appeared to investigators that he had been fatally stabbed.
The report also said four men were in custody and were cooperating with authorities.
Yerger worked for CMC Milling Company in Fleetwood. He and his wife have two sons, 10-year-old Ty and 7-year-old Tate.
�This is a huge loss for this community and we will rally around the family,� said Susan Lackey, a friend and neighbor of the Yerger�s. �We�re absolutely shocked.�

H&R Block finds three common tax-related misconceptions when consumers go to purchase coverage
Dallas, TX. – Tax penalty calculations, amount of advanced tax credit and plan coverage options are among the top concerns H&R Block (NYSE: HRB) licensed health care advisors have clarified for clients since open enrolment began on October 1.
For the last five months H&R Block has been helping clients enroll for health care coverage and will continue to do so until the March 31 deadline. Consumers need to enroll by March 15 for coverage to begin in April 1. For those who enroll later by March 31, coverage will begin May 1.
"The six-month open enrollment period is now down to just a few weeks for consumers to enroll and avoid a potential refund-reducing tax penalty," said Mark Ciaramitaro, vice president of H&R Block health care enrollment services. "There is no one-size-fits-all approach. Consumers should talk with a licensed advisor to get answers about their individual situation."
Know the numbers
The first thing consumers have asked about is the potential tax penalty, Ciaramitaro said. Most consumers are shocked to learn that their penalty may be more than the much-reported $95 per person. For many, the penalty would amount to 1 percent of their household income, which may be a much higher number.
For example, a family of four earning $70,000 a year would face a $497 penalty –$212 more than the maximum flat rate penalty. In 2016, the penalty will be more than $2,000 for that same family.
Clients also have been surprised at the amount they can receive in the form of an advanced tax credit to help cover monthly insurance premiums. Many also were unaware that they may qualify for cost sharing reductions, which lowers out of pocket costs for deductibles, coinsurance and copayments. Clients who qualify for these reductions often find that they can purchase much better coverage with lower costs than originally thought.
"Consumers really are leaving money on the table by not being aware of the full scope of their potential tax penalty, tax credit and cost sharing reductions," Ciaramitaro said. "More than ever this isn't the year to go it alone when making decisions about health plans or tax preparation."
All H&R Block clients can learn more about the penalty potential during the tax preparation process via the company's free tax and health care review. To learn more about the tax credit and coverage options consumers can access www.helpth.com or speak to a licensed health care advisor at 1-800 HRBLOCK.
Know enrollment options
There are many avenues to access a health insurance plan, Ciaramitaro noted. However, not all come with personalized advice. Even fewer enrollment services enable a consumer to compare all plans being offered both on and off the federal marketplace.
When it comes to plan selection, Ciarmitaro said, consumers also should review several different elements besides cost, such as:
· What are the deductible and co-pay obligations?
· Does the plan include medicine someone is taking for pre-existing condition?
· What hospitals and doctors are included?
· Will dental and vision be included or is that an extra cost?
"Not all plans are created equal. Knowing the true cost of the plan and all potential out-of-pocket expenses are as important as the monthly premium," he said. "Consumers will want to make their insurance work for them instead of them working for their insurance."
H&R Block offers free, unbiased assistance in enrolling in health insurance nationwide. To speak with an H&R Block health care advisor, call 800-HRBLOCK (800-472-5625) or visit the website helpth.com. Individuals do not need to be current or past H&R Block clients, and do not need to provide tax information.H&R Block health care advisors will continue to be offer enrollment services through March 31, when the federal and state marketplaces close.

Letter to the Editor:
Thank you, Toledo Fire Department for displaying the Nativity for our Christmas Season.
Amid all the Santas, reindeer, Grinches and whatever, to see this Nativity standing year after year renders that "true meaning of Christmas" feeling for me.
Speaking of the "true" meaning of Christmas, we are frequently reminded that "giving" is the real meaning.
Truly, giving of ourselves and possessions is so important not only at Christmas, but at all times.
But to me, the REALLY true meaning of Christmas is RECEIVING-receiving God's gift of Jesus Christ as our personal Lord and Savior.
Let us all not forget to RECEIVE!

Howard is the No. 1 reason the Yanks have a chance to stone Portugal star Cristiano Ronaldo, survive the Group of Death and make noise in the World Cup.
With nothing but love for Landon Donovan, Marcelo Balboa and all the U.S. stalwarts through the years, Howard is the greatest soccer player ever to wear a red, white and blue kit.
And it's not even close. Howard has earned 101 caps for the U.S. national team. He has made nearly 350 appearances in the English Premier League for Everton and Manchester United. Even Klinsmann lauds Howard as one of the five best keepers in the world.
The fearless nature of the U.S. squad begins with Howard.
"We have always been a good team who rally around each other and who is not afraid to go toe to toe with a giant," Howard said in a recent interview with CBS News.
Although Ronaldo is suffering from knee tendinitis, if the two-time world player of the year can stay on the pitch for 90 minutes, he is fully capable of scoring all the goals Portugal needs to beat the USA by himself.
While the snub of Donovan got all the attention heading into the World Cup, he was never going to be the key to the Yanks advancing past pool play. For this U.S. team, it's all about the back line. Here's all the technical soccer knowledge you need to have about America's defense: It stinks.
That's precisely why Howard is so essential for the USA. Against Portugal, Howard can erase teammates' mistakes, be as big as "Memo" Ochoa was in goal for Mexico against Brazil and make room on the soccer bandwagon for millions of Americans.
The Group of Death was exactly what a team that plays better as an underdog needed. Nobody has less to lose and more to gain than Howard.

The Stanley Cup visited Walt Disney World on Saturday, June 12. Captain Dave Andreychuk was invited to bring his family and hockey's most cherished prize to the extraordinary theme park just seventy-five miles away from Tampa for a parade down Main Street USA in honour of the world champion Tampa Bay Lightning.
After opening Disneyland in Southern California in 1955, Walt Disney made a decision that would ultimately impact on millions of people around the world through the course of three decades he decided to construct a theme park near Orlando, Florida that would expand on the dreams he had realized with Disneyland.
The original location has since grown to 30,500 acres about forty-seven square miles and it is here that the Stanley Cup was honoured with its own special celebration. The honour was to have taken place the day before, but out of respect to the funeral of Former President Ronald Reagan, the special event was postponed a day.
Dave Andreychuk, his wife Sue and kids Taylor, Caci and Brooke, took the Stanley Cup to Downtown Disney, arriving by nine that morning. At ten, sporting Mickey Mouse ears where a hockey helmet usually sits, Andreychuk and his family were the grand marshals in the parade that began at Splash Mountain and curled around Walt Disney World.
As the vehicles were readying for the parade, Brer Rabbit was plunging down Chick-a-pin Hill with Brer Fox and Brer Bear in close pursuit on Splash Mountain. Minnie and Mickey Mouse joined the entourage along with Pluto. Just like the Cup keepers who handle the Stanley Cup, Mickey and Minnie always wear white gloves, although it's likely more cartoon coincidence than hockey etiquette. Moments later, Goofy lumbered over attired in his hockey gear and was thrilled to get his picture taken with the Stanley Cup. When the photographer shouted, 'Say cheese,' Mickey Mouse was especially excited. With that, his hockey-playing pal gave a (you'll excuse the reference) goofy chuckle.
As the Andreychuk family waved from an antique car, cannons shot streamers of Lightning blue, black and silver into the sky, making the event even more festive. A Tampa Bay Lightning Zamboni trudged along the parade route behind the celebrants. The crowd clapped and cheered and had a brilliant time.
When the parade had come to its exciting conclusion, the Lightning captain met with the Disney staff and had photos taken. Then, Andreychuk and his girls were taken through Magic Kingdom and got a chance to go on several of the amazing rides Pirates of the Caribbean, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, the Swiss Family Treehouse, Country Bear Jamboree and, of course, It's a Small World.
Saturday, June 12 was a sweltering Florida day. After decades of enduring the often bitter cold of biting Canadian winters in the earliest days of its existence, the Stanley Cup was now enjoying the opposite end of the pendulum's swing, basking in the sizzle and sunshine of Tampa. It had already been an eventful day, riding with Dave Andreychuk and his family in the Walt Disney World parade down Main Street USA.
From Downtown Disney, the Stanley Cup was driven to the North Tampa home of forward Tim Taylor at four that afternoon. Taylor, who had previously earned a Stanley Cup ring as a member of the Detroit Red Wings in 1996-97, is very much enjoying the fruits of being a Stanley Cup winner with the Tampa Bay Lightning. He and his wife Jodi and their children Brittany and Wyatt sat with the Stanley Cup in their home and marveled at its opulence. Although this wasn't Taylor's official day with the Cup, he relished the opportunity to spend a little additional time in the presence of hockey's Holy Grail.
Tampa's Tim Taylor took the terrific trophy to Hunter's Green Country Club, a private eighteen-hole golf course in Tampa. Dave Andreychuk showed up just as a local television station was airing a news item about the Stanley Cup at Walt Disney World. The golfers teased Dave no end about his Mickey Mouse lid.
Members of Hunter's Green got the opportunity to get their photos taken with the Stanley Cup. While they were at the course, Taylor glanced over and noticed an alligator in a pond on the golf course. Locals told Tim that a 'gator sighting was not unusual, but to a boy from Stratford, Ontario, an alligator on the golf course means grab your balls and run!
The Lightning players returned to Taylor's home at dinner time. While a few of the boys were playing Golden Tee golf and the rest were enjoying a casual array of sandwiches and pizza, a familiar voice cut through the clatter. 'Congratulations boys! Feels good to be a champion, doesn't it?' When they looked up, the Lightning were face to face with baseball star Wade Boggs, who was sporting the World Series championship ring he earned as a member of the 1996 New York Yankees. Although he established himself with the Boston Red Sox and won a ring with the Yankees, Boggs played two seasons in Tampa Bay, concluding his career with the Devil Rays in 1998 and 1999. 'You know what boys,' Boggs continued. 'The Lightning's Stanley Cup win has put hockey on the map in Florida!'
Some of the Lightning played golf at midnight using fluorescent balls. When Brad Richards wasn't playing lightning-fast riffs on air guitar, he was hugging the Stanley Cup. And when Brad would go back to approximating solos from guitar gods, Dave Andreychuk was hoisting the Cup over his head with a grin as wide as the Gulf of Mexico.
In casual conversation, the Lightning discussed preliminary plans for the Stanley Cup. 'Man, I am so excited to take the Cup home to Sweden,' laughed Freddie Modin. Brad Richards replied, 'I know! For me, taking the Stanley Cup to PEI will be incredible. It'll be great for the province - maybe then people will remember that PEI has produced more than just potatoes!' Tim Taylor shouted, 'Yeah Brad, they produced Anne of Green Gables, too' at which, the players broke into wild guffaws.
On Monday, sit courtside at the Detroit Pistons' game when you join the Stanley Cup Journal.

The bridge was rebuilt to make room for the expansion of the I-225 light rail and the widening of the highway. The Yale Avenue Bridge was estimated to be closed for six months during reconstruction, but crews worked to get it finished earlier.
"We appreciate the tireless work and dedication that our partners SEMA and CDOT put into this effort," said Tom Tobiassen, RTD Board director. "Getting the bridge opened ahead of schedule is not only an example of successful construction, but also minimizes the impact to the community."
SEMA is building the I-225 light-rail segment from Nine Mile to Iliff. The remainder of the project from Iliff to Peoria/Smith Station will be constructed by Kiewit Infrastructure Co. This summer, the RTD Board of Directors formally approved Kiewit's proposal to complete the I-225 light-rail line to Peoria by November 2015. The line is planned to open in mid-2016 after about six months of testing.
The I-225 rail line project is part of RTD's FasTracks program. It is a 10.5-mile light-rail extension that will travel through the city of Aurora and a small section of Denver.

I want to draw attention to a post on The Catholic Story by Deacon Eric Stoltz entitled "Go and do likewise": Thoughts on Health Insurance Reform. It is about health care reform and what it means to see this issue from a Christian perspective.
I have to say that I am appalled by the vitriol heaped upon Ted Kennedy by many in the wake of his death the day-before-yesterday, Eric points to this at the beginning of his post. There are two things I have thought about these past few days. One is his career-long commitment to universal health care and the second is the dignity with which he faced his cancer. In response to Deacon Eric's piece, I wrote the following:
"The thing about Sen. Kennedy is that he was pragmatic about how to achieve universal coverage- as long as it was universal, affordable, and easy to access! He is probably the missing ingredient in the Administration's current push to achieve universal coverage.
"The church clearly teaches that access to basic health care, to include preventative care, etc. is a human right. So, we are committed to this cause. Ted Kennedy, as early as his first campaign for Senate, made this his cause. He was being honest when he said last summer it was the cause of his life. It is a worthy cause."
Of course, there other worthy causes of which he was champion, including unions, inclusion of the diabled, and civil rights.
The other observation I weighed in with in response to another thoughtful reflection by my friend Kim, was how much I admired "the courage and dignity with which he endured his terminal illness." To me, this speaks volumes about a person.
None of this ignores the fact that were issues, even fundamental and crucial issues, on which I thought he was just plain wrong. Most prominently among these was his stance on abortion, which changed from pro-life to pro-choice and his views on marriage. Also, he seems to have never proposed or supported a program that was too expensive for U.S. tax payers to fund. Stated simply, subsidarity was a word with which he seemed utterly unfamiliar, although he understood solidarity quite well. I also disagreed with his request, made last week, to change Massachusetts law to allow Gov. Patrick to appoint someone to take his place in the Senate, instead of holding an election. I opposed this because the law was changed to require an election in 2004, when Mitt Romney, a Republican, was governor of the state and there was the possibility that Sen. Kerry would be elected president. The change was made to prevent Gov. Romney from appointing a Republican. This struck me as way too political in the worst sense. Of course, there is the death of Mary Jo Kopechne, for which he was undeniably culpable, at least to some extent. Who knows how this weighed on him over the years? I certainly do not.
I think the New York Times obituary summarized the life of Sen. Kennedy well: "He was a celebrity, sometimes a self-parody, a hearty friend, an implacable foe, a man of large faith and large flaws, a melancholy character who persevered, drank deeply and sang loudly." Sounds pretty Irish to me. Ted Kennedy, R.I.P.
Blogito ergo sum! Actually, as N.T. Wright averred, "'Amor, ergo sum:' I am loved, therefore I am." Among other things, I am a Roman Catholic deacon. This is a public cyberspace in which I seek to foster Christian discipleship in the late modern milieu in the diakonia of koinonia and in the recognition that "the Eucharist is the only place of resistance to annihilation of the human subject."

WASHINGTON — President Obama, who campaigned on raising taxes on the wealthiest Americans, has fulfilled that promise even before his next term starts.
The announcement Monday night of Senate agreement on a compromise to avert part of the "fiscal cliff" meant that for the first time in two decades, Republicans in Congress were preparing to vote in favor of a bill that raised taxes, an extraordinary concession to the nation's fiscal woes and the president's reelection.
But Obama's victory fell short of what he had campaigned for, and came at a high cost. Even if the House later Tuesday or Wednesday musters the votes to approve the bill that the Senate was to vote on in the wee hours of Tuesday morning, the terms of this compromise guarantee another pitched battle over spending and taxes within months.
Whether the agreement announced Monday evening turns out to be truly a victory for Obama or a lost opportunity, as many of his liberal critics feared, will depend heavily on how that next battle turns out.

Comcast SportsNet Bay Area is reporting that a press conference is expected Wednesday to announce the addition of Utah to the Pac-10. CSN Bay Area says it has learned of the announcement from sources close to the situation.
The addition of Utah should finalize the Pac-10's quest for expansion after getting spurned by the teams from the Big 12. It will give the conference 12 teams, which are expected to be split into two divisions. Cal would join Stanford, the Oregon schools and the Washington schools to form the Pac-10 North, while Utah and Colorado would join the Los Angeles schools and Arizona schools to make a Pac-10 South. It is believed the new format will also lead to a Pac-10 championship game for football.

Doctors are now using a new system that puts up-to-date clinical information at their fingertips.
Up till now, physicians at Archbold would have to visit their medical library to find answers to certain health questions to treat patients, extensively searching through dated resources or Internet sites.
"Some are good, some are not, you have to sit there and click through each individual paper and see where the authors are from and find the more valid ones," says Wesley Simms, Chief of Staff at Archbold.
Archbold's new system appropriately called "Up-to-Date", puts the equivalent of an entire medical library all on one website, with the latest medical reviews on every medical topic, from institutions like Harvard university.
"It gives factual information as opposed to doing a Med Life search where one receives journal article sites to answer the question. The format of Up-to-Date is in book format, and paragraph form," says Susan Leik, medical librarian at Archbold Medical.
"The time that they take to sort through the available references to come up with these, it would take me hours as opposed to just looking it up and reading it," adds Wesley Simms.
Physicians say the credibility of the authors on the website makes them confident about using "Up-to-Date", keeping in touch with the constantly changing advances in the world of medicine.
Physicians say patient education is another benefit of Up-to-Date. If a patient wants documents about certain health conditions or medications, they're available upon request.

More And More Musicians Embracing Free Music With Subscriptions For Support
from the improvisational-business-modeling dept
Wood isn't yet making a living from this effort (though, I imagine an Associated Press article won't hurt), but it's cool to see another artist build on some of the ideas we've seen from others -- like Jonathan Coulton's song-a-week project, or Olafur Arnalds song-a-day for a week project -- and then build a subscription offer on top of it, similar to what Matthew Ebel has done with his subscription offering. Basically, what we're seeing is a lot of very creative people experimenting -- not by all doing the same thing, but by trying different things, sometimes inspired by others, sometimes arrived at independently, but all doing something cool.
In many ways, all of this business model experimentation is similar to the kind of experimentation these musicians do in the music itself. That is, they take ideas they have themselves, combine it with ideas inspired from others, and come out with something wholly unique and creative, which best matches with their own community. It's improvisational business modeling.

By STEVE SZKOTAKRICHMOND, Va. (AP) â¿¿ Gov. Bob McDonnell has become the sole focus of the tug-of-war over uranium mining in Virginia now that the sponsor of a House bill that would establish mining regulations agreed to drop his legislation. Delegate Jackson Miller said he's asked the chairman of the House Commerce and Labor Committee, Delegate Terry Kilgore, to not bring forward his legislation, meaning it will likely sit in committee past crossover day on Tuesday. Legislation that has a chance of passing must move from one chamber to the other by that day. "He said if that's my wish, he's happy to do that," Miller, R-Manassas, said Friday. Sen. John Watkins, a Powhatan Republican, is the leading advocate of uranium mining in the General Assembly. He withdrew his version of the legislation on Thursday with it facing almost certain defeat in committee and on the floor of the Senate. Watkins then asked McDonnell to direct state agencies to draw up regulations for the mining The actions by Watkins and Miller shift what was expected to be a bruising battle in the General Assembly to squarely on McDonnell's shoulders. A spokesman said Friday the governor's position remained unchanged: he's still reviewing the issue. Anti-mining activists who had been targeting key legislators with emails and telephone calls are now turning their lobbying effort to McDonnell. His office received dozens of calls by noon Friday, spokesman J. Tucker Martin said. McDonnell's indecision has been curious for a Republican governor who has promoted U.S. energy independence and who has advocated an "all of the above" approach to achieve that â¿¿ from coal to offshore oil and winds. Cale Jaffe, director of the Virginia office of the Southern Environmental Law Center, briefed McDonnell in December and was "impressed by his willingness to dig into the details of the issue" and his thoughtful questions.
"At this point, the studies have been done, and those studies â¿¿ particularly the peer-review National Academy of Sciences Study â¿¿ have validated a lot of our core concerns," Jaffe wrote in an email. "The science has shed a lot of light on this issue."With the Legislature clearly not inclined to endorse uranium mining in Southside Virginia, the company that wants to tap the deposit endorsed what it called Watkins' "alternative path" to the governor's office. "The legislation presented this year was lengthy and complex, but even so, did not address every detail that would ultimately be included in fully promulgated regulations," Patrick Wales, project manager for Virginia Uranium Inc., said in a statement. The matter will still have to return to the General Assembly for approval, but not this year. Watkins, who expressed similar sentiments in spiking his bill, has questioned McDonnell's silence on the issue. Miller said he has discussed the matter with the governor. "He tells me he's evaluating it," he said. "I take him at his word. He doesn't really like to say much more than that." Miller denied that the appeal to the governor is a backdoor effort to move uranium mining forward, as opponents have said. "They do stuff like this all the time â¿¿ Republican governors, Democratic governors." Virginia Uranium is seeking an end to a state prohibition on uranium mining that dates back three decades. It requires that regulations be in place. The company wants to mine a 119-million-pound deposit of the ore in Pittsylvania County that it says will bring hundreds of jobs to a region that sorely needs them. Opponents argue that the environmental and public health risks outweigh the economic advantages. ___ Steve Szkotak can be reached on Twitter at https://twitter.com/sszkotakap.

Submission + - LuminAR Bulb Transforms Any Surface Into a Touch Screen (gizmag.com)
Zothecula writes: We've all seen gigantic touch screens on the news or in movies, but what if you could achieve the same type of interface by simply replacing the bulb in your desk lamp? That's the idea behind the LuminAR, developed by a team led by Natan Linder at the MIT Media Lab's Fluid Interfaces Group. It combines a Pico-projector, camera, and wireless computer to project interactive images onto any surface – and is small enough to screw into a standard light fixture.
