Jeffrey Crawford "Lazlow" Jones is an American talk show host who is involved in writing and producing Grand Theft Auto games. He voices a character of the same name in many GTA games. The in-game Lazlow is an insecure, ill-mannered, and perverted radio host who has nonetheless managed to retain work across the GTA rendition of the United States for nearly 30 years as of Grand Theft Auto V.
In the GTA series
3D Universe
Lazlow's career began in the early 1980s as an intern for the V-Rock radio station based in Reddick, Florida. His profile on the Fame or Shame website claims he was a teenager when his career began. He was the sidekick of then-DJ Couzin Ed circa 1984, as heard in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories. Lazlow quickly moved up the radio hierarchy and became the head DJ of V-Rock, exhibiting a 'bad boy' attitude and a greatly inflated ego, the latter of which came back to bite him. Sometime after 1984, V-Rock moved to Vice City. He was fired from the radio station after the events of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, sometime between 1986 and 1991; On Integrity 2.0, he implies he was fired from V-Rock for having sex with a young female intern.
At one point, he became so desperate, Lazlow called the radio show I Say/You Say begging for work. Lazlow re-emerged in 1992 on the national scene as the new host of the Los Santos-based syndicated WCTR radio show Entertaining America, replacing the original host after his untimely accidental death at the hands of a roid-raging Jack Howitzer. At this point, he claimed to be "just coming down from the 80s" and implied that in between gigs he developed problems with drugs and alcohol, and that he did something to his mother that is illegal in most states. Lazlow lost his WCTR job due to alcoholism and possibly drug abuse sometime after the events of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
It is hinted by some of the comments he makes on Chatterbox FM in Grand Theft Auto III that in between his job in GTA: San Andreas and his appearance in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories circa 1998, he was working in Malaysia digging sewage ditches just outside of Kuala Lumpur.
In 1998, Lazlow lived in Liberty City and hosted Chatterbox, a talk show on Liberty City Free Radio where he took calls from random listeners and interviewed eccentric guests, as featured in GTA: Liberty City Stories. It is mentioned that he had been run out of Vice City and San Andreas, although Lazlow at one point gets nostalgic over working in Vice City back in the 1980s. At one point, Lazlow also makes a cryptic statement about himself and someone called "Donald" having big plans for LCFR.
By 2001, during the events of GTA III, Lazlow and Donald (now revealed to be Donald Love), had taken over the operation of LCFR, which was now renamed Chatterbox FM. Sometime between 1984 and 2001, Lazlow also married an unnamed woman and he would occasionally mention his wife on Chatterbox.
HD Universe
Lazlow lost his Chatterbox FM job a year later in 2002 because of a payola scandal he was involved in, and his wife divorced him shortly afterwards when he drugged a woman and brought her home requesting a three-way; On Integrity 2.0, he also implied his wife left him because she found out about the affair he had with the young female intern back in Vice City. Lazlow's ex-wife then married his former best friend, causing him to obsess over her for several years following their divorce, which he also later claims creeped out the women he dated following his divorce.
He was arrested multiple times over the next several years, including an arrest for publicly urinating at a Liberty City Swingers game in 2002, and another for exposing himself to old women on the streets in 2005. Deciding to try and make a comeback as a radio personality, he returned to Liberty City. Lazlow raised enough funds by 2008 to start up a new radio station in Algonquin, named Integrity 2.0. His program on the station involved himself exploring Algonquin and interviewing people on the streets; unfortunately, his interviewing manner was now poorer than it used to be, and it seems that his popularity had waned since he was last on the air; the people on the street whom he interviews often show disdain for him, and for radio in general (even "Radio 2.0", as Lazlow calls it).
By that time, Lazlow had become notably more unhinged and prone to violence than previous depictions, as he openly expressed a desire to rip people's heads off or bite them on the cheek for doing things that annoyed him. He ended up being incredibly rude to the few people he interviewed who do not initially show any disdain for him, even going as far as to push a hot dog vendor's face into a pot of boiling hot water for joking about Lazlow's name and appearance (calling Lazlow a "clown" and a "hippie"), and spitting in the back of a cab because the driver suggested he bring back some of his old Chatterbox FM guests, which Lazlow took as an insult. He also allowed a man implied to be a pedophile to masturbate as he talked about schools while on the air. During the show, he also made a references to his real-life show, The Lazlow Show. He always introduced Integrity 2.0 as "The Lazlow Show," he also made a comment; "...when sixteen year olds could drink and listen to metal music, you could smoke in bars, and get into high speed accidents..." which was a reference to the intro of The Lazlow Show in late 2006.
Lazlow was briefly sponsored by ZiT, a program that identified songs playing on the radio. He was the voice of the company's automated greeting messages, but the ZiT adverts still made fun of his need to be in the public eye, referring to him as "...our needy, washed up celebrity".
In the two DLCs, The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony, ZiT had dropped sponsorship for him and he took a brief hiatus to find a sponsor for his show. He apparently got sponsorship from his step-father, who runs a funeral service called "Isaac Hammerstein and Daughters Funeral Services". Lazlow apparently does not like his step-father, making fun of his profession and his daughters (which Lazlow describes as "ugly" and "obese") and he called his step-father a "cockface" on radio, while also implying he dislikes his step-sisters because they rejected his sexual advances. He also got a sidekick that he called "Georgie", who was an illegal immigrant from South America. "Georgie" often laughed in Lazlow's face when he got insulted by people, prompting Lazlow to threaten to have him deported.
He also has an LCPD record but the LCPD apparently doesn't know his surname, claiming that the mystery of his surname is still unsolved and claiming the stupidity of the LCPD officers who arrested and booked him, as they never asked Lazlow his surname. Oddly, he is still listed alphabetically under the letter J.
By 2013, he returned to Los Santos, and started working for WCTR again. He now co-hosts a show called Chattersphere, in reference to Chatterbox, with much younger female host Michelle Minx. He is also presenter of the reality show Fame or Shame, and is constantly mocked by the judges and polls made by the program. He seems to have a rivalry with Hugh Harrison, as the two constantly trade insults and are shown to have been in physical altercations in several previous episodes. It is also revealed at one point, Lazlow accepted sex from an obese Irish woman in exchange for advancing her to the finals.
In the Grand Theft Auto V mission "Fame or Shame," Tracey is trying out for the show with a sexually suggestive dancing routine. Trevor and Michael arrive at the Maze Bank Arena and see Lazlow dancing inappropriately with Tracey. Unable to watch any more, Michael loses his temper and pushes Lazlow to the ground, who calls security and runs away, causing Michael and Trevor to chase after him. Lazlow's car eventually loses battery life leaving him trapped in the Los Santos Storm Drain. Michael and Trevor catch up to him, with Trevor forcing Lazlow to remove his pants and to dance in his underwear while he video records it on his phone. As Lazlow is running away, Trevor then announces that he plans to post the video online and that "the world is gonna see your shit".
Lazlow appears later on in the mission "Reuniting the Family" at Blazing Tattoo, with Tracey trying to get back on the show Fame or Shame after Michael and Trevor ruined her first audition. He agrees to let her back on the show in exchange for a blowjob, which Tracey's father, Michael, hears and proceeds to pierce his eyebrow, nose, and ear, tattoo a penis on his chest or back and snip off his ponytail before demanding he put Tracey on his show without anything in return. Lazlow initially claims he was assaulted by a deranged fan, but later claims it's his new look.
He is later seen interviewing a few celebrities at the premier of Michael's new film Meltdown at the Oriental Theater, where he seems to now have a job as an interviewer for Weazel News, as his mic flag has the Weazel logo on it, as well as the game showing the interview airing live on Weazel during the mission. Upon seeing Michael, he nervously and hastily retreats inside, pulling the cameraman along with him (likely because Tracey had lost Fame or Shame despite Lazlow's efforts to secure a win for her, or simply because he had already been physically assaulted by Michael twice).
In earlier games, Lazlow was depicted as one of the more "sane", stable, and seemingly decent people in the Grand Theft Auto universe, especially on the radio. He was often shocked and fed up with the various eccentrics and con-men he interviewed. Through subsequent games (and in-universe years) however, Lazlow began developing his own eccentric, deviant, and sometimes illegal behaviors. This resulted in him being fired from or forced out of a series of hosting jobs under cloudy circumstances.
By the time period depicted in the HD Universe, Lazlow has become a washed-up former radio "star" in denial of how far he has fallen. As a result, his personality flits between self-loathing, nervousness and desperation on the one hand, and excessive arrogance and self-aggrandizement on the other. In GTA V, Lazlow is written more specifically as a parody of American Idol host Ryan Seacrest, hosting vote-in talent show Fame or Shame alongside his radio gigs. By this time, Lazlow's personal life has reached its nadir. His inappropriate sexual urges have cost him several jobs, he struggles unsuccessfully to maintain a youthful appearance despite his obvious aging, and he is constantly belittled and mocked by those around him, including his much younger and already more successful radio co-host, Michele Makes. This results in a breakdown during a radio interview with Brother Adrian, the founder of the cult Children of the Mountain, causing Lazlow to rant about his decline in popularity and difficulty keeping work, the shame he's brought to himself and his family, and his ever-increasing desperation to stay on the air leading him to less-and-less dignified work.
Lazlow is also somewhat of a hypocrite when it comes to cults as during a broadcast of Chattersphere, Lazlow makes comments about creating his own cult if he ever went to mars, this is mentioned not long before Brother Adrian calls, whom Lazlow then immediately makes disparaging comments regarding cults.
LCPD Database Record
In real life
Behind the scenes, Lazlow is one of the writers of the game's script, providing political and cultural satire on the radio, and writing dialogue for street NPCs.
Grand Theft Auto III was Lazlow's first GTA game. He produced, scripted and hosted the popular Chatterbox FM radio station. He co-wrote the other radio station
dialogue with Dan Houser of Rockstar Games.
After gaining great popularity for his GTA III work, Lazlow took a larger role in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. Rockstar hired Lazlow's production company, Radio Lazlow, to co-write and produce all the radio stations in GTA Vice City, as well as minor character and pedestrian dialogue. He was also the host of Vice City radio station V-Rock, referring to a comment made offhand in GTA III', that he only worked at Chatterbox "because [he] got kicked off the rock station".
In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, he co-wrote and produced all of the in-game radio, as well as hosting Entertaining America on WCTR and being caller on I Say/You Say
He also returned as host of the Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories version of the Chatterbox radio show, although this time, his role was smaller — during the setting of the game, Chatterbox is merely a single show on a station, not an entire station on its own.
Lazlow returned in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories as an intern at V-Rock, working for his real life friend, Couzin Ed. Earlier in Lazlow's and Couzin Ed's real-life radio careers, Lazlow was the sidekick of Couzin Ed.
As Lazlow was involved in writing the radio content for all the 3D Universe games, he was able to create continuity between the games, even though they were released out of chronological order. For example, in GTA III, Lazlow and Donald Love are said to be in charge of operating Chatterbox FM, a situation established in dialogue written for LCFR radio in Liberty City Stories. And characters mentioned in passing might later appear in a later game (such as Crow, who is referenced in GTA San Andreas, and appears on the air in Liberty City Stories).
Lazlow returns as a member of the cast in Grand Theft Auto IV. He is referred to on other channels as the host of the "long-defunct" Chatterbox FM, and is raising money for a new venture. (This is one of the few direct links between the 3D and the HD Universes, as the two do not otherwise share much continuity.) This new idea, the channel Integrity 2.0 (where in Lazlow wanders Algonquin and interviews random pedestrians), goes on-air when the player gains access to Algonquin.
By Grand Theft Auto Vs setting, Lazlow has moved from Liberty City to Los Santos, and is working as a host alongside Michelle Minx on Chattersphere, a radio show on WCTR. He also hosts the television talent show Fame or Shame.
Lazlow also arranged voice cameos in the Grand Theft Auto games for several key figures from the hacker magazine 2600, including Emmanuel Goldstein, Bernie S., and Kevin Mitnick. Many of Lazlow real life friends have also appeared in GTA games such as Reed Tucker, Big Wayne Oliver, Fred Armisen, Frank Chavez, Anthony Cumia, Patrice O'Neal, Bill Burr, Wil Wheaton and Couzin Ed.
Mission Appearances
- Lazlow has appeared in the most games in the Grand Theft Auto series. He has appeared in every game in both the 3D Universe and HD Universe excluding Grand Theft Auto Advance and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars as a radio DJ.
- Lazlow is one of eleven characters in the series to exist in both the 3D Universe and the HD Universe, the others being Jock Cranley, Cris Formage, Jack Howitzer, OG Loc, Mr. Wong, Fernando Martinez, Madd Dogg, James Pedeaston, Marvin Trill, and Willy. Of these, he is the only one heard making direct references to events from the 3D continuity.
- Lazlow is the fifth real-life celebrity to physically appear in the Grand Theft Auto series, behind Phil Collins in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, Ricky Gervais and Katt Williams in Grand Theft Auto IV, and Frankie Boyle in The Lost and Damned.
- Willy, Lazlow and Cris Formage are the only three characters from the 3D Universe to appear in person in the HD Universe.
3D Universe
- On the Chatterbox FM show, one of the callers asks if he's Hungarian. "László" is a common name in Hungary.
HD Universe
- Lazlow's appearance in Grand Theft Auto V contradicts a description of him on Integrity 2.0 in Episodes from Liberty City. Lazlow has a full head of hair in GTA V, but on Integrity, a passer-by mentions that he is bald. This could possibly mean he either has a wig, managed to grow his hair back, or the passer-by wanted to anger Lazlow by saying it.
- A caricature artist also implies he is bald by drawing his head with a "helicopter landing pad" but Lazlow yells at him, saying not to focus on the bald spot.
- Lazlow sponsors the Karin Dilettante and drives one during the mission Fame or Shame.
- The way Lazlow getting chased in his Karin Dilettante might be related to the 2010 film The Other Guys, where one of the scene shows the main characters of the film, in a red Toyota Prius (the vehicle parodied by the Dilettante) also getting chased and finally stopped after the car has severely been damaged.
- On two occasions, Lazlow admits that he doesn't actually perform live radio. In Grand Theft Auto IV, he says that Integrity 2.0 doesn't have the equipment to broadcast live, and makes a point of telling Michael and Trevor that he doesn't broadcast live during their confrontation in "Fame or Shame".
- During the Vinewood Star Tours, the tour guide shows the place where Lazlow was arrested for masturbating with an eggplant and shouting at women.
- It is very likely that one or more of the protagonists could call or receive calls/texts from Lazlow in the early versions of GTA V, as there's a contact picture for him in the game files.
- It is possible that his appearance as a host on Fame or Shame is supposed to parody the appearance of Howard Stern (another controversial radio host) as a judge on America's Got Talent. Stern began appearing on America's Got Talent in 2012 however it is unknown when Lazlow began his tenure as the host of Fame or Shame. It is also possible that it is supposed to parody the appearance of chat show host Jerry Springer as the host of the same show. Springer served as the host from 2007 until 2009 when he was replaced by Nick Cannon.
- All the things that Lazlow does in the 3D Universe is also canon in the HD Universe according to the intro of the Episodes from Liberty City version of Integrity 2.0. [2]

The following is a guest post by Carla Molina of the blog, All of Me Now.
Last year, I jumped on the Facebook bandwagon for 30 days of gratitude in November. Everyday I'd post the things I was grateful for and also what my two daughters gave thanks for before bed. It provided some heartfelt and funny posts.
An old friend commented; she told me I was doing such a beautiful thing for my daughters and teaching them an important lesson. Her words really made an impact. It made me wonder why we only ever gave thanks during the month of November. And so, I ventured into creating a daily gratitude ritual.
We tried different things - giving thanks during a meal, while making dinner, during bath time, in the car - but what everyone naturally gravitated toward was giving thanks at bedtime.
Every night after the girls are snug in their pajamas, I turn out the lights and light a small candle. We each take a turn giving thanks for three things then blow out the candle. Once we've all had a turn, I light the candle one last time and we each make a wish and blow out the candle together. Most recently, my oldest has added her own little touch and, as the candle goes out, she whispers, "Let our wish come true."
There are nights when we're so past their bedtime, I want to skip it so I can get some work done while they sleep. Other nights I simply forget to pull out the candle. But my girls never forget. Every night they ask for it. I think it's a wonderful way for them to go to bed with positive feelings in their hearts.
This year I skipped the 30 days of gratitude on Facebook. It's become a yearlong tradition. And while friends can no longer share in the things we give thanks for, I know our daily practice has a much greater impact on the hearts of my daughters.
How do you encourage your kids to practice gratitude?

EES is warmly encouraging us to submit proposals for the upcoming, exciting next EES Conference that will take place from the 1st to the 5th October in Greece. I was wondering about why they are interested in us, European-ish (somehow related with Europe) evaluators, EES members, presenting roundtables, panels, posters or even pre-conference workshops.
And that made me remember all the reasons why every time I go to a conference, I submit proposals to try to contribute. Here's why I do it:

FCK and Fenerbahçe must do it the hard way
Friday 3 August 2012
Article summary
While some teams have sizeable advantages going into the third qualifying round second legs, the likes of FC København and Fenerbahçe SK have their work cut out to progress.
Article top media content
Article body
While the likes of RSC Anderlecht, Hapoel Kiryat Shmona FC, NK Maribor and Helsingborgs IF have sizeable advantages to take into their UEFA Champions League third qualifying round second legs, 2010/11 quarter-finalists FC København and Fenerbahçe SK need favourable results away from home to progress.
Belgian champions Anderlecht secured the biggest victory of the first-leg games with a 5-0 triumph at home to FK Ekranas from Lithuania. However, despite Les Mauves et Blancs having one foot in the play-offs, Tom De Sutter, who scored twice in the opener, has warned against complacency. Israeli outfit Hapoel Kiryat Shmona are involved in the competition for the first time and have a play-off berth in their sights after winning 4-0 at home to Azerbaijan's Neftçi PFK.
NK Maribor's 4-1 victory in Slovenia leaves Luxembourg's F91 Dudelange, conquerors of FC Salzburg in the previous round, with much to do if they are to continue their European adventure. Swedish champions Helsingborg, meanwhile, were 3-0 winners at Polish counterpart WKS Śląsk Wrocław and must fancy their chances of a first group stage appearance since 2000/01 if they can continue that form on home soil.
FCK did not enjoy the same success in their opener and have their work cut out in Bruges to advance after a frustrating goalless draw with Club Brugge KV in Denmark. Fenerbahçe are another side up against it going into the return fixture. The Turkish outfit salvaged a 1-1 draw at home to SC Vaslui courtesy of Bekir İrtegün's 90th-minute equaliser yet will have to score in Piatra Neamt, Romania, on Wednesday to have any hope of booking a place in the play-off draw on 10 August.
Former European champions Celtic FC will take a 2-1 lead to Finnish title holders HJK Helsinki after a second-half comeback in Glasgow. FC Dynamo Kyiv also came from behind to prevail by the same margin at home to Feyenoord. Yuri Semin's charges will travel to the Netherlands for Tuesday's decider with a slender advantage, while the night's only other encounter sees FC BATE Borisov of Belarus, who entered the group stage last term, make the trip to Hungary to face Debreceni VSC with the scores level at 1-1.
There were also narrow wins on the road for FC Basel 1893, GNK Dinamo Zagreb and Panathinaikos FC, and that trio will be looking to protect their first-leg cushions on home ground.

Interview with Mary Hoffman
on breath, spirit, clairsentience
and how she works with others.
I've done years of therapy and body work.. .and Mary's study of energy seems to take all that and Grounds it into the deepest and highest place for me. To honor the inner child and give her that FULL attention, compassion, loving ear...and have Mary be a Loving guide to parent her in a more Loving Light is unbelievable. She is truly GIFTED beyond words in her healing work and I am beyond GRATEFUL. ~Madison Christine MFT Santa Fe
Mary was right there holding the sacred space in a way I have never experienced with any other healer. My heart opened immediately and I felt safe to drop into the difficult places. Her presence alone is healing, and I wanted to cry out of joy just for finally feeling safe enough to let my heart speak. Andi Starr Singer, Songwriter, Musician
Before meeting Mary, I walked down many avenues of healing trying to find something that worked. Traditional therapy, body work, EMDR, Yoga, Pranic healing, psychic readings, angel cards, and of course books like the Law of Attraction, The Mastery of Love, and other books with messages about how to heal and live a full life. The problem was, I still felt miserable most of the time.Mary's work has taken me to the source of these triggers Thank You Mary! Your gift has changed my life. Suzanne Elizabeth Artist
Mary Elizabeth is by far the most enlightened and gifted healer I have ever met. I have worked with many different healers throughout my journey here, but Mary is in a league of her own. She works effortlessly between the worlds to help us heal our core issues. She works with the most compassion and loving light that I have ever seen or felt. She has got to be an angel sent from heaven to heal all that come into contact with her. She leads, guides, and nurtures you while helping you to find and reconnect to your true essence.

From the early days of Caney School, now Alice Lloyd College, The Purpose Road Philosophy was taught by Alice Lloyd and June Buchanan. It was originally created by George Herbert Palmer, a professor at Harvard University. Our founders' burning desire was that each student would catch a vision of his or her purpose which would eventually manifest itself in world service.
Today, the ideals of The Purpose Road Philosophy permeate the educational process at Alice Lloyd College. All students work either on campus or in community outreach positions off-campus. Good character is emphasized and supported. Even our main street is named Purpose Road; side streets, which include names such as Conscience, Duty, Courage, and Consecration, serve to remind us of the importance of ethical living. A life of service to God and humanity is the desired result of one's "walk" upon the Purpose Road.
The Purpose Road Philosophy manual includes the following passage:
By an inexorable law,
What we expect tends to come to us.
Facing life in the right way, we must have
A Purpose
A Goal
A Vision.
Then hold the thought and work toward it.
It will come as dawns the day.

Earlier this morning, Ozzie said he wouldn't necessarily mind another loss if the Sox hit the ball for a change.
"I don't want to win, I want to score," Ozzie said. "I don't care if the score is 20-19 because it would show me we could hit. Every game for us, especially in our division, is a must-win game. But like I said yesterday, don't try to do too much. Just do what you're supposed to do, don't push it."
How about a win?

"I like Toronto," manager Ozzie Guillen said. "I don't like when we go on the field and they kick our butts every day."

From the cookie exchange
The best way to describe these treats are simple and delicious. They contain three ingredients and take moments to make. I saw these online Bakerella's site and thought to send the link to my friend Cat. She made them for the cookie exchange and they were a hit! To enhance the holiday theme she used mint Oreos which really made them special. I definitely recommend these to anybody who loves Oreos or Cakeballs. They really could not be any easier so they are great for a beginner cook. My one tip would be to not use white chcolate chips to coat these if you have not worked with it before; it is much easier to use chocolate bark.
Oreo Truffles
made by Catherine Feldtmose, recipe from Bakerella
1 package oreo cookies (divided… use cookie including the cream center)
1 8oz. package cream cheese, softened
white chocolate bark (milk or dark chocolate woulf also be good)
Finely crush 7 cookies in a food processor or place them in a ziploc bag and crush into a fine consistency. Reserve for later. Crush remaining cookies and stir in softened cream cheese. Use the back of a large spoon to help mash the two together. Roll the mixture into 1" balls and place on wax paper covered cookie sheet. Melt chocolate as directed on the package and then dip balls into chocolate, tap off extra and set aside on wax paper covered cookie sheet to dry. You can sprinkle the tops with the 7 crushed cookies for decoration (Cat used red and green sprinkes). Once dry, refrigerate and enjoy!

Google is supplying the software, hardware and tech support to US intelligence agencies who are in the process of creating a vast closed source database for global spy networks to share information.
Google is selling storage and data searching equipment to the CIA, the FBI, the National Security Agency, and other intelligence agencies, who have come together to build a huge internal government intranet.
Google is also providing the search features for a private Wikipedia-style site, called Intellipedia.
"We are a very small group, and even a lot of people in the federal government don't know that we exist," said Mike Bradshaw, who leads Google's federal government sales team and its 18 employees, yesterday to the San Francisco Chronicle.
The government supply arm of Google has also reportedly entered into a number of other contracts, details of which it says it cannot share.
Google's partnership with the intelligence network is not new. As we reported in late 2006, An ex-CIA agent Robert David Steele has claimed sources told him that CIA seed money helped get the company off the ground
Speaking to the Alex Jones Show, Steele elaborated on previous revelations by making it known that the CIA helped bankroll Google at its very inception. Steele named Google's CIA point man as Dr. Rick Steinheiser, of the Office of Research and Development.
"I think Google took money from the CIA when it was poor and it was starting up and unfortunately our system right now floods money into spying and other illegal and largely unethical activities, and it doesn't fund what I call the open source world," said Steele, citing "trusted individuals" as his sources for the claim.
"They've been together for quite a while," added Steele.
Late last year, new programs of internet monitoring were announced by a freshly created department branch of Homeland Security called the National Applications Office
"Mr. Chertoff also plans soon to unveil a cyber-security strategy, part of an estimated $15 billion, multiyear program designed to protect the nation's Internet infrastructure. The program has been shrouded in secrecy for months and has also prompted privacy concerns on Capitol Hill because it involves government protection of domestic computer networks." The Wall Street Journal wrote.
Essentially the program allows the DHS to regulate and control access to the internet in the name of "protecting" national security.
The news came on the back of separate revelations that another military spy agency, the NSA has increasing control over SSL, now called Transport Layer Security, the cryptographic protocol that provides secure communications on the internet for web browsing, e-mail, instant messaging, and other data transfers.
In other words the agency is capable of intercepting and reading your emails and instant messages in real time.
Earlier this year came the announcement that US National Intelligence Director Mike McConnell is drawing up plans for cyberspace spying that would make the current debate on warrantless wiretaps look like a "walk in the park".
The plan would mean giving the government the authority to examine the content of any e-mail, file transfer or Web search.
Recently, the lawyer for an AT&T engineer has alleged that "within two weeks of taking office, the Bush administration was planning a comprehensive effort of spying on Americans" That is BEFORE 9/11, before the nation was embroiled in the freedom stripping exercise commonly known as the "war on terror" had even begun.
Earlier this year, CNET reported that both Google and Microsoft refused to say if they have provided users private data to the federal government under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act — the warrantless wiretapping program.
We have also previously reported on a vast intelligence program, being overseen by the FBI, which is to establish a global biometric database known as "Server in the Sky" that will collate and provide an "International Information Consortium" with access to the biometric measurements and personal information of citizens of the US, UK, Australia, Canada and New Zealand in the name of fighting the "war on terror".
After 9/11 the work of 16 different intelligence agencies, including the CIA and the giant National Security Agency, which eavesdrops on international communications, as well as the Energy Department and the Drug Enforcement Administration was centralized under the office of the Director of National Intelligence.
Over decades we have witnessed the evolution of Government surveillance programs and information databases targeting citizens. We are now witnessing the centralization of this vast control grid Panopticon beyond our own borders.

ARM Opens Shanghai Office
Shanghai-based HuaHong and Beijing-based Watertek join ARM's global network of distributors
CAMBRIDGE, UK – July 10, 2002 – ARM [(LSE:ARM); (Nasdaq:ARMHY)], the industry's leading provider of 16/32-bit embedded RISC microprocessor solutions, today officially opened its China headquarters in Shanghai, underscoring the company's continued commitment to developing the electronics industry in the Peoples' Republic of China.
ARM China, which is a wholly owned foreign enterprise, is part of the company's vision to support China's IT development by enabling a unique and comprehensive value chain for the Chinese electronics industry. The company will license its technologies to Chinese IC design centres, foundries, OEM manufacturers and other third parties, enabling them to generate income through high-value products and solutions based on ARM® architecture.
Today's official opening ceremony was attended by industry and community leaders including Sir Robin Saxby, chairman of ARM; Warren East, CEO of ARM; Paul Sizeland, British Consulate General; Xu Xiufa, Assistant Secretary General of the Shanghai IC Association; Min Hao, general manager of Shanghai HuaHong Integrated Circuit Co Ltd.; and Chen Weiqun, president of Watertek Shanghai.
"We are committed to bringing ARM's global culture of continuous innovation to China," said Warren East, CEO, ARM. "This commitment includes supporting existing and prospective Partners, identifying local Partners and participating in local development via initiatives such as technology transfer and university programs. Before the end of this decade, China is expected to be the second largest semiconductor market in the world and ARM will be well placed to help this happen with the availability of our industry-leading technology."
"Shanghai is widely acknowledged as one of the major semiconductor centers in China," said Dr Jun Tan, president of ARM China operations. "The concentration of semiconductor expertise, including wafer fabs, in the city and adjoining regions, is unequalled and gives us access to local engineering expertise."
"From our new Shanghai headquarters, we can provide our industry-leading technology to local engineers," continued Tan. "By helping them to realize their design ideas – from concepts to complete products – we believe that we can make a valuable contribution to China's growing economy."
ARM China also announced today that it has signed two new Partners, Shanghai HuaHong Integrated Circuit Co Ltd (SHHIC) and Beijing Watertek Information Technology Co Ltd (Watertek), to reinforce the value chain which includes everything from semiconductor manufacturing and design to system integration and distribution support. (See separate press releases: SHHIC Licenses ARM Core for Smart Card Applications; Watertek Becomes Second Chinese Distributor of ARM RealView™ Development Tools – July 10, 2002)
SHHIC is the second Chinese IC design Partner to license ARM cores. Watertek becomes the latest local tools distribution Partner. Watertek, like Impact, which is already a local Partner, will provide training and support services for ARM RealView development tools.

Chacin continues rehab, makes second start at Class A
DENVER -- Rockies right-hander Jhoulys Chacin made his second Minor League rehab start with Class A Modesto on Saturday night, falling to Lake Elsinore, the Padres' Class A affiliate, 3-1. He is recovering from a right shoulder strain.
"It sounded like it went well," manager Walt Weiss said of Chacin's outing.
Chacin pitched 4 2/3 innings and allowed three runs on five hits. All his runs came on a three-run homer. He struck out two and walked one, throwing 61 pitches -- 40 for strikes -- while earning his second loss in as many rehab starts.
"At this point with Jhoulys, it's just a matter of getting his work in, building his arm up, and being ready to walk out on a big league field and make a start," Weiss said. "He's moving toward that quickly. He's on schedule."
Chacin was 14-10 with a 3.47 ERA for the Rockies in 2013.

Tebow's weak sartorial score
Poor Tim Tebow just can't catch a break this week. As if the Bronocs' defeat Sunday by the New England Patriots wasn't bad enough, now even Women's Wear Daily is weighing in on the guy's performance. In its Man of the Week segment, WWD gives Tebow a measly C- in the clothing and grooming departments.
Using a photograph of Tebow wearing a pale blue blazer over a white shirt and wrinkled white linen pants (hey, the guy's from Florida after all), the apparel industry trade publication said he "needs to repent for his fashion sins. His Oprah-Winfrey-on-the-way-to-a-Hamptons-tea/dance-party outfit is totally inappropriate for a man of his height at any red-carpet appearance." (The item doesn't say what event Tebow was attending but it looked to be something in the summer, judging from the lightness of the fabrics and colors.)
They say he should wear less gel in his hair, lose the pastels, get his jacket shortened, tuck in his shirt and wear better shoes. Wow, that's cold. Guess Tebow should stick to his No. 15 jersey and the rest of the Nike-designed Broncos uniform.
You can see the offending photo and others of WWD's men of the week at wwd.com/eye/people/man-of-the-week-5072683. Tim shouldn't feel too bad, as few guys get the thumb's up in this feature.

XBMC (formerly "Xbox Media Center") is a free, open source (GPL) multimedia player that originally ran on the first-generation XBox, (not the newer Xbox 360), and now runs on computers running Linux, Mac OS X, Windows, and iOS. XBMC can be used to play/view the most popular video, audio, and picture formats, and many more lesser-known formats, including:
- Video - DVD-Video, VCD/SVCD, MPEG-1/2/4, DivX, XviD, Matroska
- Audio - MP3, AAC.
- Picture - JPG, GIF, PNG.
These can all be played directly from a CD/DVD, or from the hard-drive. XBMC can also play multimedia from a computer over a local network (LAN), or play media streams directly from the Internet. For more information, see the XBMC FAQ.
The stable version of XBMC is available in the community repo:
# pacman -Syu xbmc
The SVN (testing) version of XBMC can be downloaded from the AUR (XBMC-git), e.g. using yaourt:
$ yaourt -Syua xbmc-git
Starting XBMC
First install D-Bus and add it to your DAEMONS Array if you have not already:
(... dbus ...)
Next, you'll probably want to get ConsoleKit up and running, if you have not already, and add the following line to your
exec ck-launch-session xbmc-standalone
Make sure you add your user (or whatever user will run xmbc on your system) to at least groups audio, video, and storage.
$ for x in audio video storage; do sudo gpasswd -a $USER $x; done
Autostarting at Boot
Using the above method, xbmc should run every time you start your X server, so auto-starting at boot can be configured just like a Display Manager, with one important difference. If you choose to use the
/etc/inittab method, you can skip loading a display manager altogether and autologin XBMC by default. To do this, change your default runlevel to 5 in
/etc/inittab as usual:
## Only one of the following two lines can be uncommented! # Boot to console #id:3:initdefault: # Boot to X11 id:5:initdefault:
Note the comment (#) in front of
id:3:initdefault: and not
id:5:initdefault. Then, comment out all the default display manager lines at the end of the file:
# Example lines for starting a login manager #x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/xdm -nodaemon #x:5:respawn:/usr/sbin/gdm -nodaemon #x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/kdm -nodaemon #x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/slim >/dev/null 2>&1
Finally, add this line (toward the end of the file, near where the lines you just commented are):
x:5:wait:login -f <YOUR_XBMC_USERNAME> </dev/tty7 &>/dev/tty7
If you use systemd you can try this:
[Unit] Description=Direct login to X After=systemd-user-sessions.service [Service] Restart=always ExecStart=/sbin/mingetty --autologin <username> tty7 linux [Install] WantedBy=graphical.target
Also you need install mingetty package.
Save your
/etc/inittab changes and add the following to your
[[ $(tty) = "/dev/tty7" ]] && exec startx </dev/null &>/dev/null
You may also add a
.hushlogin to your home directory to further suppress login messages:
touch ~/.hushlogin
ConsoleKit Issues with Automatic Login via /etc/inittab
ConsoleKit is known to have problems registering a session as both local and active when logging in directly via the
/etc/inittab method described above. If you would like to be able to shutdown and reboot your machine directly from XBMC while logging in via
/etc/inittab, perform the autologin via mingetty (note: this method requires mingetty and upower to be installed). There are two steps involved:
- 1. Comment out the line
x:5:wait:login -f <YOUR_XBMC_USERNAME> </dev/tty7 &>/dev/tty7from above and, in the consoles section of
/etc/inittab, append the following:
c7:2345:wait:/sbin/mingetty --autologin <YOUR_XBMC_USERNAME> tty7 linux
- 2. Then, in your XBMC user's
~/.bash_profile, include the following (in place of the
.bash_profileline indicated above) (source: Arch forums):
[[ $(tty) = "/dev/tty7" ]] && exec xinit ~/.xinitrc -- /usr/bin/X -nolisten tcp vt08 &>/dev/null
Using a Remote
As XBMC is geared toward being a remote-controlled media center, if your computer has an IR receiver, you will probably want to set up a remote using LIRC. Once you are sure your remote is working properly (tested with
$ irw), add lircd to your DAEMONS Array and you'll be ready to create an Lircmap.xml file for it.
Using your favorite text editor, you'll need to go in and create an XML file at
~/.xbmc/userdata/Lircmap.xml (note the capital 'L'). Lircmap.xml format is as follows:
<lircmap> <remote device="devicename"> <XBMC_button>LIRC_button</XBMC_button> ... </remote> </lircmap>
- Device Name is whatever LIRC calls your remote. This is set using the Name directive in lircd.conf and can be viewed by running
$ irwand pressing a few buttons on the remote. IRW will report the name of the button pressed and the name of the remote will appear on the end of the line.
- XBMC_button is the name of the button as defined in keymap.xml.
- LIRC_button is the name as defined in
lircd.conf. If you automatically generated your lircd.conf using
# irrecord, these are the names you selected for your button then. Refer back to LIRC for more information.
- You may want to check out the very thorough Lircmap.xml page over at the XBMC Wiki for more help and information on this subject.
Fullscreen mode stretches XBMC accross multiple displays
If you have got a multi-monitor setup and don't want XBMC to stretch accross all screens, you can restrict the fullscreen mode to one display, by setting the environment variable SDL_VIDEO_FULLSCREEN_HEAD to the number of the desired target display. For example if you want XBMC to show up on display 0 you can add the following line to your Bashrc:
If you have problems with shutdown, suspend or hibernate within XBMC make sure your user is in the wheel group and also that the upower package is installed.
In case XBMC was configured to be started outside any session, you need to explicitely give the appropriate rights by creating a polkit rule. Create /var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/xbmc.pkla with the following contents (assuming xbmc as user running xbmc):
[Actions for xbmc user] Identity=unix-user:xbmc Action=org.freedesktop.upower.*;org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.* ResultAny=yes ResultInactive=yes ResultActive=yes
- XBMC Wiki: An excellent resource with much information about Arch Linux specifically (upon which the original version of this article was largely based).

Dude Wins $30 Million Dollars Right After Girlfriend Dumps Him
Let's face it, if you are a 22-year-old fellow who's just scored a multimillion dollar lottery win, you probably going to be reevaluating your relationship with your current girlfriend.
Massachusetts man Sandeep Singh didn't have to enter into this cruel calculus after his numbers came up to the tune of $30.5 million. That's because his girlfriend dumped him right before his big payday.
"She broke up with me, but right now, I'm not really worried about it," Singh said as he accepted his giant ceremonial check. "I was heartbroken at first, but now I'm getting over it."
He added that he hopes his former flame doesn't try to contact him now that he's set for life.
Singh, who's been working two jobs to support his mother and sister since his father passed away, says he's going to use some of the money to pay off his mom's mortgage and donate some more. He's also going to quit his jobs at a Best Buy and at a bank.
As for the ex-girlfriend with the world's worst timing? We pity the next guy she dates. That poor soul is going to have a lot to make up for.

Freak injury shows Baylor's toughness
Angels players and coaches stunned by Opening Day accident
ANAHEIM -- Don Baylor, "Groove" to those inside the game, always has embodied the rare blend of immense physical power and personal grace. Nobody in Major League Baseball is more respected.
Angels players were just beginning to really get to know their new hitting coach when he went down in a stunning fashion on Monday night, fracturing his right femur and requiring surgery that will keep him out of uniform indefinitely.
Because he's such a formidable figure even as his 65th birthday nears, Baylor's collapse behind home plate as he tried to handle Vladimir Guerrero's ceremonial first pitch on Opening Night was shocking to his latest class of students.
In the voice and wide eyes of superstar Mike Trout before Tuesday night's game against the Mariners was pure, unmasked awe.
"He didn't even flinch," Trout said. "He had a broken leg, and he wanted to get up and walk to the dugout. When he came in here [to the home clubhouse], they told me he acted like almost nothing happened."
Baylor was on one knee, crouching, when the leg gave on him as he reached for Guerrero's delivery. He was assisted to the clubhouse and taken to the UC Irvine Medical Center for the diagnosis. Surgery was performed at about 1 p.m. PT Tuesday.
Angels players and staff were still trying to absorb the aftereffects.
"Awesome, a real stand-up guy," Josh Hamilton said. "He's somebody with a lot of experience as a player, manager, hitting coach. He's been around the game a long time. You can't replace that kind of experience."
Dave Hansen, Paul Sorrento and Rick Eckstein will work with the hitters in Baylor's absence.
The fraternity of players who competed with or against the man from Austin, Texas, across 19 seasons in the Majors with six clubs will vouch for Baylor's legendary toughness. It defined him, along with a winning attitude that enriched three World Series teams (1986 Red Sox, 1987 champion Twins, 1988 Athletics) in consecutive seasons.
"When he was on first base and I was playing shortstop," Angels coach Alfredo Griffin said, "I prayed to God, 'Don't let this guy hit me.' He came in really hard, like Frank Robinson. That's how he played the game. He was as tough as anybody."
Baylor played more games (824) with the Angels than any other team and was the franchise's first American League Most Valuable Player Award winner. Along with Nolan Ryan and manager Jim Fregosi, "Groove" led the 1979 outfit to the first postseason experienced by original club owner Gene Autry.
An outfielder who could fly in his youth, Baylor had career highs in homers (39), runs batted in (AL-high 139) and runs scored (league-leading 120) in his MVP campaign, dividing time between left field and designated hitter.
"I worked with him a lot in Spring Training," catcher Hank Conger said. "As the spring went on, we were really working with that 'short to it, long through it' approach -- staying really short and driving the ball up the middle with your swing pattern. I felt really confident with it.
"In the dugout during games, his presence, his demeanor, is really powerful. He stands up for us. He's not afraid to bark at umpires if he thinks you're not getting treated right. It's going to be a tough loss, a tough one to swallow."
Conger said he wasn't aware until after the game of Baylor's 2003 diagnosis of multiple myeloma, a cancer that attacks plasma cells in the bone marrow.
"He's such a big, strong guy," Conger said. "I was kind of in shock. It really hasn't set in yet."
Angels manager Mike Scioscia is confident Baylor will continue to exert an influence on his hitters "even if right now he isn't able to physically get to the ballpark," by watching video and making social media connections. Baylor, on the phone Monday night from the hospital, asked how his hitters had fared in a 10-3 loss to the Mariners.
"He wants to get back and help us get this thing done," Scioscia said. "One thing you can't replace is Donnie's presence."
Trout, who unloaded a two-run homer against Felix Hernandez and lashed a wicked single literally off reliever Charlie Furbush in the opener, took an immediate liking to Baylor during the spring.
"He's real hands-on," Trout said. "I like that. He tells you everything has a purpose. If you roll over, he's on you, telling you what you have to do to get it right. A guy like that, you know he knows what he's talking about."
Asked about Baylor's advice, Hamilton said: "Keep it simple -- and if you see something you like, go after it."
Baylor was a power hitter (338 homers) who made contact, striking out more than 100 times only once in a season. He had a career line of .260/.342/.436 in a pitching-dominated era. Baylor stole 52 bases in 1976 with the A's after leaving the Orioles, his original club, and only three players in history were hit by more pitches than his 267, leading the AL eight times.
"He'd stand right up on the plate," Grififin said, "and nobody could make him move. It didn't matter how hard you threw. He'd never complain, never feel any pain. Amazing."
Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon tried to connect with Baylor on Tuesday.
"I didn't have a chance to visit with him a lot today, but I went over to the hospital," McClendon said. "He was on his way in to surgery, but it was nice to see him. It seemed like he was in good spirits.
"That was tough to see. He's always been an idol of mine. I think he's going to be OK."
