|Jaina Proudmoore from Champion Deck
Jaina Proudmoore is the founder and former Lady of Theramore Isle (as well as its only leader during its brief existence), the Alliance's major port in southern Kalimdor. After the destruction of Theramore, she took leadership of the Kirin Tor. She is the daughter of Grand Admiral Daelin Proudmoore, sister of Tandred Proudmoore and Derek Proudmoore, and the alleged half-sister of Finnall Goldensword. She is also the most powerful human sorceress on Azeroth.
Jaina was one of the most talented and trusted sorceresses of the Kirin Tor. She was dispatched by Antonidas to discover what was happening in the northlands of Lordaeron. She was escorted by her childhood friend and one-time romantic interest, Prince Arthas Menethil, to uncover if the plague had magical origins. Jaina saw the fall of Lordaeron firsthand and — guided by a mysterious prophet — rallied what survivors she could and fled across the sea to Kalimdor.
Jaina swore to defeat the Burning Legion and its sinister agents any way she could. Joining forces with the night elves and even the orcish Horde, Jaina helped defeat the demon Archimonde and banish the Legion. She then gathered the human survivors in Kalimdor and founded the port city of Theramore. She rules here over the tattered remnants of the Alliance of Lordaeron and hopes to reunite the distant human kingdoms once more.[1] (WoWMan 170) In the aftermath of Theramore's utter destruction, Jaina soon becomes Grand Magus of the Kirin Tor and now rules Dalaran with a purple glove draped over an iron fist.
Jaina is voiced by Carrie Gordon-Lowrey in Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos, Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne and World of Warcraft. She is voiced by an unknown actress in World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade and by Laura Bailey in World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King.
Early exploitsBorn prior to the First War, Jaina Proudmoore is the youngest child of Admiral Daelin Proudmoore, Lord of Kul Tiras and longtime friend and ally of Lordaeron and the Kingdom of Azeroth. At a young age, Jaina was enamored with tales of the Guardian Aegwynn. When her magical talent was discovered and she was sent to Dalaran, she badgered Antonidas into accepting her as an apprentice, eventually becoming one of the few female wizards in direct service to Dalaran. Under pressure by the expectations of her mentor, the heroic legacy she had to live up to, and the watchful eye of the citizenry of Lordaeron, Jaina struggled to keep her focus on her studies.
Because of their mutually royal heritage, it was inevitable that Jaina and Prince Arthas, the heir to the throne of Lordaeron, would meet. Over the years, they grew close as friends, and then romantically. They were very much in love with one another. But, eventually Arthas would question whether the two of them were ready to be together. Arthas would abruptly end the relationship so Jaina could focus on her magical studies in Dalaran and Arthas could focus on his commitments to Lordaeron. Jaina was very hurt by the decision, but did not fight him on it. She would soon realize and agree that it was the right thing to do at the time. Shortly after, they decided to rekindle their romance, but this was during the beginning of the Scourge invasion that would change both of their lives forever.
The Third WarThis section concerns content exclusive to Warcraft III.
Many years later, Antonidas, eager to learn more about the Plague sweeping northern Lordaeron, was met by the Prophet, who pleaded with the wizard to take his people west to Kalimdor. Antonidas dismissed the Prophet as nothing more than a madman, but Jaina, who had been watching from hiding, sensed great power in the Prophet, and thought that perhaps they should heed his warnings. Antonidas continued to disagree, and instead sent Jaina to meet with Arthas and investigate the Plague at the northern village of Brill.
As they investigated Brill, Jaina saw some very strange things, including a necromancer and a zombie made of various parts of several corpses. They faced off against several undead enemies, and came upon a granary which contained grain infested with the Plague. The crates bore the seal of Andorhal, the primary distributor of grain throughout Lordaeron.
Chasing the necromancer, who was actually Kel'Thuzad, formerly a member of the Kirin Tor, to Andorhal, they found a mass of undead warriors waiting for them, but fought their way through to Kel'Thuzad, where Arthas killed him.
Jaina and Arthas made their way back to central Lordaeron, and they stopped for rest at the small town of Hearthglen. However, when they arrived they discovered that the plague-infected grain from Andorhal had arrived and had been distributed amongst the townsfolk. They were transforming into the undead.
Jaina reluctantly, but hastily left to find Uther for reinforcements. When she returned with the Silver Hand at her back, Hearthglen was all but destroyed, and Arthas was fighting a losing battle. With Uther's help, though, they managed to push back the undead attackers. Arthas, demoralized and horrified by overwhelming forces of undead, vowed to go to Stratholme, where he hoped to fight Mal'Ganis.
Jaina and Uther followed him to Stratholme, but didn't arrive in time to stop the townspeople from eating the tainted grain. All three knew that the people of Stratholme would soon become undead and attack them. Arthas was in favor of slaughtering the people before their transformation to purge the town, but Uther could not condone murdering helpless people whose only crime was being infected, even if leaving them alive meant they would soon become a threat. When Uther refused to kill the civilians as Arthas ordered, Arthas renounced him, accusing him of treason. He demanded that any true to the king stay with him and see to the town's destruction. Jaina turned and followed Uther to Arthas' surprise.
Jaina and Uther returned to Stratholme's burning ruins after Arthas destroyed it. Both were appalled at what they saw. Jaina was visited by the mysterious prophet who had previously attempted to reason with both King Terenas and her mentor, Antonidas. The prophet sensed her leadership abilities and urged her to take the people she could with her to the west, fleeing Lordaeron and her home country of Kul Tiras. She realized that he had been right, and he encouraged her to gather her people and sail west for Kalimdor. Jaina decided to follow his words, and made preparations.
She left just as the invasion of Lordaeron began, saving thousands of citizens before they met their doom.
Arrival at KalimdorThis section concerns content exclusive to Warcraft III.
Upon arriving at Kalimdor, Jaina found out orcs were there. Believing the Horde to having followed them from Lordaeron, Jaina began to battle with them, and Grom Hellscream retaliated. After a disastrous battle with the Horde, Jaina set out to find somewhere where she could keep the orcs at bay. Not only was Stonetalon Peak a good defense, but also, she sensed a great power within. After being defeated while defending the mountain, Jaina led a small expedition into the mountain, with the hopes of finding some power that could help her defeat the orcs. But she sensed that they were being followed.
Upon breaching the core of the mountain, Jaina stumbled upon Thrall and Cairne. They were about to battle when they were all suddenly confronted by the Oracle, who was actually the Prophet Medivh they had met in Lordaeron. The Prophet Medivh implored them all to ally with each other, saying that they would not survive alone against the might of the Burning Legion.
Reluctantly, Jaina agreed to ally her forces with Thrall's. Jaina gave him a [Soul Gem], which he used to capture Grom's essence as the invasion of Kalimdor began. Then, she helped him purge Grom of the demonic curse that had gripped him.
Jaina and Thrall continued as allies, although their forces were not very eager about it, even after Hellscream's death. They were terrorized by the undead, but also by the night elves' deadly hit-and-run attacks. Though their alliance with one another kept them alive, they were only holding on by a thread.
Finally, Thrall received a vision. Jaina followed him to where he was instructed to go, where they found the leaders of the night elves, Malfurion Stormrage and Tyrande Whisperwind. The Prophet appeared, and revealed himself to be none other than Medivh, returned to correct his mistakes of old. He implored the humans, orcs and night elves to all join forces against the Legion, or they would all fall alone. They all agreed to defend Mount Hyjal together.
Jaina used her teleportation spells to scout out the surrounding area, and found that Archimonde and his doom guard were quickly making their way up the mountain. The defenders instituted three bases going up the mountain in an effort to halt his ascent.
Jaina's base was the first in Archimonde's path, and so it was the first to go, but before he could kill her, Jaina spirited herself out of Archimonde's clutches. The next base to go was Thrall's, and Jaina used her remaining energy to teleport Thrall from his base before Archimonde destroyed him, so that they could live to fight another day.
Founding TheramoreThis section concerns content exclusive to Warcraft III.
Following the Legion's defeat on Mount Hyjal, Jaina took her refugees to an island outpost off the eastern coast of Kalimdor, newly named Theramore.
The exact time of Theramore's founding isn't clear (sources differ as to whether it was founded before or after the Battle of Mt. Hyjal), but the role of the citadel is important in the tale of the founding of the orc nation, Durotar.
When Rexxar demanded an explanation of the humans encroaching on Durotar and the assassination attempt, Jaina denied all knowledge. When Jaina agreed to help the Mok'Nathal investigate, they discovered the accusatory outpost was under attack from naga. After an encounter with a dying marine, Jaina realized with horror that her father had decided to pay her a visit. Jaina pleaded with the Admiral to spare Rexxar, but Daelin would have none of it. Rexxar and his companions escaped, and Thrall rallied an army to push back Proudmoore's assault.
Jaina was in despair. While she felt loyalty to her father and her nation, her experience with the Scourge and the Legion convinced her that petty hatreds and vendettas such as her father's were immaterial in the grand scheme. Jaina helped the Horde gain ships from the goblins and ordered her own troops to stand down when they assaulted Theramore. Jaina's last words to her father were to ask why he didn't listen.
Cycle of Hatred
Theramore and Durotar remained at relative peace for three years, though the two former archenemies were still wary of each other. Eventually, a series of minor shipping incidents led to extreme tension between the two powers, enough so that the goblins, who controlled the region's only neutral port, complained.
Despite the tension, Thrall requested Jaina's aid in relocating a herd of thunder lizards displaced by a mysterious logging operation at Thunder Ridge. Jaina intended to relocate the lizards to a largely unpopulated region on the far side of Mulgore, but was astonished to discover that the area was magically warded to protect its single inhabitant: Aegwynn.
The former Guardian brushed off Jaina's admiration, but filled in the gaps of what had been happening amidst the tensions between Theramore and Durotar: a minor demon, Zmodlor had revived the Burning Blade clan and was playing the two powers against each other.
Jaina and Aegwynn hastily returned to Theramore, where they discovered that Jaina's own chamberlain had been corrupted by the Burning Blade. After dealing with the turncoat, they took on Zmodlor himself. Unfortunately, the demon was backed by a small cabal of warlocks. Jaina was nearly slain by the added strain, but Aegwynn was able to use her own life-force to support her, and Jaina was able to defeat the warlocks and banish Zmodlor back to the Twisting Nether. After the crisis had passed, Jaina and Thrall set about writing a permanent non-aggression pact to ensure that the mutual distrust of their peoples' never escalated into war again.
Against all odds, Aegwynn survived, and assumed the duties left by Jaina's chamberlain.

Jaina appears in World of Warcraft: The Comic, assisting Varian Wrynn in remembering his true identity with the help of her chamberlain, Aegwynn and bringing Onyxia to justice.
In World of Warcraft
In Wrath of the Lich KingThis section concerns content exclusive to Wrath of the Lich King.
After the apparent death of Bolvar Fordragon at the Battle of Angrathar the Wrathgate, King Varian Wrynn prepared the forces of the Alliance for all-out war against the Horde. Desperate to avoid a Fourth War, Jaina teleported to Orgrimmar to uncover the truth of the recent events in Northrend. There she learned from Sylvanas Windrunner that an uprising broke out and that Varimathras had taken control over the Undercity. Thrall assured Jaina that the Horde had no official interest in a war against the Alliance and that he would take care of the traitor. Jaina agreed to try to stop Varian, but warned him that it would not be easy — the late Highlord was like a brother to the king.
Jaina's assessment proved correct as the forces of Thrall (attempting to regain control of Undercity) and King Wrynn (hoping to reclaim it as Lordaeron for the Alliance and bring Putress to justice) clashed at Undercity. Refusing to allow the Horde and the Alliance to descend into open war, Jaina stopped the Alliance army cold (literally) and teleported them back to Stormwind.
Secrets of Ulduar
When Brann Bronzebeard learned that Yogg-Saron had escaped his ancient prison in Ulduar, Rhonin and Jaina called a conference of Alliance and Horde leaders at the Violet Citadel. As Rhonin debriefed Varian Wrynn on the situation, Jaina noticed that Thrall and Garrosh Hellscream had arrived early, and attempted to halt them before another confrontation was started. She was unable to stop Varian and Garrosh from coming to blows however and King Wrynn left, refusing to work with the Horde at all after the events at the Wrathgate. Jaina wondered aloud who was left to challenge Yogg-Saron.[1]
Icecrown Citadel
The Frozen Halls
Jaina later arrived at the Frozen Halls to confront the Lich King and attempt to reason with the Dark Lord, in hopes of releasing the spirit of her lost love, Arthas. She guided a small group of Alliance heroes through the halls of Icecrown Citadel and eventually arrived at the Halls of Reflection. Within the private chambers of the Lich King, Jaina and her troupe discovered Frostmourne, the blade that stole Arthas' soul and led to the fall of Lordaeron. Jaina communed with the souls stolen from Frostmourne and much to her surprise, Uther the Lightbringer appeared and told her a terrible truth. Not only did he inform her that Arthas was nothing but a small glimmer of light that stayed the Lich King's wrath, but in order to protect Azeroth, the Lich King would have to be killed and a replacement would have to make the ultimate sacrifice.
Suddenly, the Lich King entered the chambers and Uther was sucked back into Frostmourne. The Lich King coldly acknowledged Jaina while removing Frostmourne from its pedestal. The Lich King summoned Falric and Marwyn, two captains Jaina fought alongside during the Third War. As The Lich King retreated to his private chambers and sicked the captains on her allies, Jaina remained determined to save Arthas and pursued him as the doors behind her closed. Following the defeat of the two captains, Jaina's allies rushed to her aid only to find her on the verge of defeat, with her former love viciously attacking her. Heartbroken, Jaina and her allies fled down the Hidden Passage with the Lich King in steady pursuit. As they came to a cliff, the Skybreaker flew in and rescued them at the last moment.
Fall of the Lich King
After the Deathbringer was slain by a team of Alliance adventurers, Muradin Bronzebeard, fresh from the Gunship Battle, was unwilling to allow Varok Saurfang to retrieve his son's corpse. But when King Varian and Lady Jaina teleported to the scene, Varian ordered Muradin to step side and let a grieving father pass, to which Jaina burst into tears out of respect for her King.
Should an adventurer bring Jaina's Locket to her following the Lich King's defeat, she weeps, stating that she knew there was still some part of Arthas trapped within the Lich King.

In Mists of PandariaThis section concerns content exclusive to Mists of Pandaria.
It was revealed in Mists of Pandaria, Theramore will be destroyed by Horde forces led by Garrosh Hellscream. Jaina joins Kalecgos in the fight against the Horde in order to help recover a powerful artifact of the blue dragonflight, the Focusing Iris.[2] She survives the ordeal, but sees the Horde in a new light with a new antagonism towards orcs.[3]
Jaina is later revealed to be the new leader of the Kirin Tor as Rhonin's successor,[4] but she will not be leading as a neutral party.[5] Jaina became leader after Rhonin's death during the Siege of Theramore, where he was killed by the Manabomb that destroyed the city.
When it is discovered that Blood Elves within the Kirin Tor have been secretly helping the Horde despite the Kirin Tor's neutrality, a furious Jaina purges Dalaran of all Horde and allies the Kirin Tor with the Alliance. Feeling herself betrayed not once, but now twice by the Horde, Jaina adopts a far more aggressive stance towards the Horde in general and Garrosh in particular. When Garrosh is defeated after the events in Pandaria, an angry Jaina urges Varian Wrynn to disband the Horde once and for all.

PersonalityThis section concerns content exclusive to the Warcraft RPG, and thus unlikely to be canon.
Strangers often confuse Jaina's independence and strength of spirit for a rash personality and headstrong disposition. However, the truth of the matter is that she has developed an uncanny ability to read people and identify their underlying motives and intentions. She is a true champion of her people and will do anything in her power, including laying down her own life, to ensure their survival. Jaina respects life in all its forms, and will refuse to see harm come to any innocent in her presence. She prefers action over words, leading her to develop a great admiration for Thrall's success in founding Durotar and a deep resentment of the unending, fruitless debate among the members of the High Council of Lordaeron.
Life on Theramore Isle is fairly insular, but Jaina welcomes visitors with warm lodging and hearty meals in exchange for stories about the outside world. Her people are simple, with most spending their days as kelp farmers or fishermen. In exchange for information or artifacts that might improve the lives of her people, Jaina has been known to provide arcane assistance to visitors, including occasionally teleporting travelers great distances, summoning elementals to guide them on their journeys or warding them with enchantments. In the event that her people are faced with a dire threat, Jaina will voluntarily accompany or aid adventurers who share her goal of protecting Theramore Isle.[6] (S&L 48,49)
Like Thrall, Jaina is an advocate of peace and moderation between the Alliance and Horde. Before Varian's return, Jaina was arguably the de facto or informal ruler of the Alliance. Wrynn feels that the Horde cannot be trusted, and so this inevitably places him and Jaina in a position of opposition. Jaina has not confronted him about this directly, however, and when she has communicated with Thrall more recently, she has generally been seen doing so in secret.
It is also shown that Jaina is still haunted by Arthas' descending to darkness thinking it was her fault.
Against mortal foes, Jaina is merciful and tries to capture or force a surrender. Against demons and undead, Jaina is ruthless and uses her spells to their maximum potential for damage. She prefers to remain at great range.[6] (S&L 49)
After the fall of Theramore, Jaina's personality undertakes a drastic change as she sees the Horde in a new light, proclaiming them as rabid animals, and has a particular hatred for their new Warchief, Garrosh Hellscream. She is shown to be much colder and ruthless when compared to her previous warmer personality before Theramore's fall.
It would appear that Kael'thas fell in love with her during Jaina's training with Antonidas but their differences in their age (she was a teenager and he was several centuries old) filled him with guilt and self-doubt. When he eventually did approach her, she was at such a juncture that her studies came first.
Varian Wrynn
Both Jaina and Varian are war veterans and witnessed war atrocities, as a result they both are survivors and share the same vision of wisdom to lead the world of Azeroth (continent) into a better future, they share a strong bond of loyalty with each other as close friends and allies.
A few months later, rumors of her relationship with Arthas began to circulate. She and Arthas came to share a strong friendship that lead to very serious romance. But initially, their duties to Dalaran and Lordaeron forced them to put things on hold for a time. When they attempted to rekindle, the Scourge invasion got in the way. Their relationship is shown in the novel Arthas: Rise of the Lich King. It is also shown that Jaina is still haunted by Arthas' descending to darkness thinking it was her fault. In the quest Frostmourne, it is hinted that she is still in love with him.
This article or section includes speculation, observations or opinions possibly supported by lore or by Blizzard officials. It should not be taken as representing official lore.
After Jaina and Thrall's forces were forced to work together after the meeting with Medivh, the two leaders soon became good friends. Thrall stated that Jaina reminds him strongly of Taretha Foxton, but Jaina has stated no specific reason for her trust in Thrall. Their relationship is nonetheless strong, even having endured the battle of Durotar, which cost Jaina her father and Thrall many of his warriors.
After the Destruction of Theramore, Jaina became a changed woman, no longer desiring peace with the Horde. Her friendship with Thrall was severely tested when she tried to destroy Orgrimmar in order to kill Garrosh. Kalecgos barely arrived in time to stop her, reminding her of Arthas. Jaina stayed her hand, but her friendship with Thrall may have been destroyed. [citation needed]
A number of fans have speculated that Thrall and Jaina will be romantically involved at some point. As of Cataclysm Thrall has taken the Mag'har orc Aggra as his mate, which makes this unlikely. Also, the Warcraft RPG confirms that rumors of a prior relationship are false.
The [White Punch Card] that drops in Gnomeregan for the Alliance quest Data Rescue has many lines of binary code printed on it. When decoded, it reads "Thrall and Jaina sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G", an in-game joke for the fans.
The idea of a relationship between the two has been denied in lore, and also by Metzen.[7]
Jaina is currently involved in a romantic relationship with Kalecgos, the leader of the blue dragonflight and formerly blue aspect.
Jaina is easy to underestimate for a mage and lack of elite guards. Her fireballs and frostbolts only hit for between 3k and 6k, while her melee swings can hit for close to 10k. One tank won't cut it here either, she will teleport her current target to a pool of water outside of her tower every 30 seconds or so. The best recommendation here is to have at least 3 tanks and 4 healers. AoE is also in dire need as she will summon water elementals in spades, while they are weak, if you let them get too numerous they can disrupt healers. She also has an instant cast Blizzard that ticks for roughly 2k and should be moved out of promptly. Last, but rarely seen, is a Fireblast that can hit for 6k, this can be cast at any time so keeping the tank well healed is vital.
Jaina is usually undefended since she is not a part of the For The Horde! achievement, but if the tank that gets teleported is alone they can be an easy target for one or two Alliance players, and without tanks Jaina can dispatch the rest of the raid with no help at all from Alliance players.
Should the raid see success Jaina is known for carrying between 60 and 80 gold or more and will respawn very quickly making her a viable gold farm though she will not give honor when killed. This was later ruled as an exploit after many suspensions, and has since been fixed.

The Green Lounge Eco-Luxury Suite held at Loews Hotel in Santa Monica Sunday night was a chance not only to experience some great ideas to make your life a little more green while also taking in some great speakers, including Alicia Silverstone.
The Green Lounge Eco-Luxury Suite was put on by Nicole Sherwin Green Events and Wellness2Day.com. "My vision and the goal of Green Lounge is to create a platform for the thought leaders of the world in the areas of environmentalism, wellness and philanthropy to share ideas and create proactive change in an eco-luxury setting," Sherwin stated. Sherwin did a fabulous job acting as host for the evening and running the question and answer portion of the evening with the speakers.
Sherwin put together a great group of speakers, including Debbie Levin, President of the Environmental Media Association, Jason Nelson, self-empowerment coach, Christine Devine, FOX 11 new anchor, Darren Moore of Alter Eco and Silverstone.
Silverstone gave an amazing speech detailing how she changed her eating habits and the impact that it had on her life. She also touched on macrobiotics, the medical benefits that a more organic lifestyle can have on your body as well as talking about what type of affect that the production of meat has on the environment. Silverstone stated that each pound of beef that is produced in the United States equates to six months of shower water and to produce all the meat that is consumed in this country uses between 20 and 28 billion gallons of gas.
"We have to realize what is best for our bodies, what is best for animals and what is best for the planet are all the same things," Silverstone said.
Guests at the Green Lounge were treated to some tasty fish tacos that were prepared by the Loews kitchen staff and to finish off the night we were able to sample some of Alicia Silverstone's Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups. This was her own version of the dessert with all of the taste of the original while providing you with a much healthier version.

"Dinner this evening--or, rather, since it has just gone midnight, yesterday evening--with the great historian Robert Conquest and the journalist provocateur Christopher Hitchens. Christopher looked better than he has in recent photographs in Vanity Fair, and he proved utterly himself, talking about books, politics, and history for nearly three hours. I offer it as a sign of his sweet indomitability that Hitch closed the evening by reciting, from memory, this poem:

Christopher Hitchens (1949 - 2011) was an Anglo-American author and journalist. His books made him a prominent public intellectual and a staple of talk shows and lecture circuits. He was a columnist and literary critic at Vanity Fair, Slate, The Atlantic, World Affairs, The Nation, Free Inquiry and a variety of other media outlets. He was named one of the world's "Top 100 Public Intellectuals" by Foreign Policy and Britain's Prospect.

The myth: An article in The Sunday Times claimed that 'fewer than 100 mature cod are left in the North Sea'.
The truth: This is completely wrong, in fact we know there to be around 21 million mature cod in the north sea. Cod start to mature from a year old and are fully mature at age six. There are a small number of cod over the age of 12 years old which has always been the case in the North Sea even when fished at lower levels in the 1950s and 1960s. Cod older than 15 have rarely been recorded in the North Sea.
Scottish Fisheries Secretary, Richard Lochhead has also joined the
Initiatives by Scottish fishermen have meant that cod discard rates have fallen from 62 per cent in 2007 to 24 per cent in 2011. Schemes such as the use of selective fishing gear, to help avoid catching undersized and unwanted fish, help to conserve the species, he said.
The government says scientific advice from ICES (International Council for the Exploration of the Seas) shows that there are 21 million mature cod (65,000 tonnes) in the North Sea with fish reproducing at a younger age. Some 60 per cent of four-year-old cod are mature rising to 100 per cent by age six.
This blog would like to open up the discussion even further. We have now heard from the media, the government and an official organization. Any fishermen would like to add their voice?

Should Employers Check My Credit Before Hiring?
Credit checks should be allowed, and job applicants should have the right to explain negative information.
Q: Do you think it is ethical for businesses to use a job applicant's credit report and rating in the hiring process? I have a feeling that I have been hurt by this practice.
This is a hot subject these days, and it's the basis for a number of lawsuits that challenge the growing practice and seek to ban any use of credit-report checks in hiring decisions. (Editor's note: Employers do not use credit scores for this purpose.)
There are various reasons for a spotty credit record, including limited previous use of credit, which shouldn't be held against anyone. Some people get into credit trouble because of unforeseen crises, such as a severe illness with big medical bills or a lengthy layoff with no severance.
Other people, whatever their income, simply live beyond their means on a regular basis, overspending on credit. To some employers, that would raise a warning flag about an applicant's possible lack of self-discipline -- and maybe even lack of integrity. And employers might reasonably be concerned that an employee's money woes could tempt him or her to steal or to pad an expense account.
Whatever the courts eventually decree in pending lawsuits, I think the most ethical outcome would be a middle ground -- allowing the continued use of credit checks in evaluating job applicants but giving applicants the right to explain negative information in their reports. (I also think that arrest records -- say, for disorderly conduct or DUIs -- may ethically be used in evaluating job applicants, with a similar right for applicants to explain the infractions.)
Employers could still use a credit history as one of numerous factors in evaluating someone's fitness for a job, but no one could be rejected simply on the basis of that history.
So many candidates with similar qualifications -- education, special skills and job experience -- are looking for work these days that it's understandable if employers often look for small differentiating factors (positive and negative) to help them make decisions. Credit history can be one of these.

One of the greatest events in the British sporting calendar, 2 April 2017 saw Oxford University Men's Boat Club and Cambridge University Women's Boat Club row to victory on the River Thames, London.
Sunshine prevailed and crowds cheered on the banks of the Tideway as all four crews made their way along the demanding four-mile course.
The Cambridge Women's crew, comprised of eight of the university's finest athletes, including Hunter's Everyday Pioneer Claire Lambe, made a strong start, outperforming their Oxford rivals to win with an impressive eleven length win and a time of 18 minutes 33 seconds. "It wasn't just about crossing the line; it was about getting a real victory," commented CUWBC's Ashton Brown after the gruelling race.
Oxford's oarsmen, led by Hunter's Everyday Pioneer Vassilis Ragoussis in the stroke seat, crossed the finish line with a time of 16 minutes and 59 seconds, beating Cambridge to secure their 80th victory in the men's race.
As an official partner of the Boat Races, Hunter would like to congratulate all four crews participating in this year's event.
Hunter Field is proud to provide boots for all crews that not only see them through the gruelling winter training regimes but also serve to protect them from the Tideway, the section of the River Thames in London on which the races take place.

For five films the unwavering passion and support of the "Twilight" film franchise faithful helped change the lives of the cast and creators, and as the saga's final installment "Breaking Dawn – Part 2" hits theaters, costar Nikki Reed wants them to know she noticed.
Of all the young actresses minted by the phenomenal popularity, Reed has always felt a special connection to the fans who followed every bit of minutiae from the movies. And as she prepares to open new chapters in her professional and personal lives, she reveals that for her the farewell will be bittersweet.
Will it be emotional to watch the movie?
For sure, absolutely! And I don't know when I'm going to see it, by the way, because I made a promise to all my fans that I'm not going to sit through the premiere because I'm going to go back outside for another three hours after the carpet and sign every last autograph I possibly can.
That's a generous decision you're making because those fans represent at those premieres, and it means a lot to them.
It means everything to us, too. I'm going to see my cast. I don't feel like 'boo‑hoo' I'm going to say good-bye to all these people. I'm okay leaving Rosalie behind actually. I'm sad about – the fans are the ones that have made this experience special, and for many reasons, and the interaction – I feel like the way we interact with them has been so unique, setting up these fan events where we get to just sit and talk to people who really feel so strongly about something you're a part of, to connect with people on that level. So to just sort of walk away from that and never see all these people again…I know these faces that have been sleeping at Comic‑Con for four years now. I recognize these people.
As a writer and a creative person, do you want to explore your feelings about being part of this at some point, like in a book or in some way get those down on paper?
I don't know. You know I did a lot of writing about it. I did a lot of writing as we went along. That's the way I express myself is through writing. I write almost every day. Unless it's days like this where I'm literally cooped up for 18 hours. I'm usually writing. I write my feelings out. I don't know, but I think I would have to have a lot of perspective and also a reason for it which at this point in time, a lot of the writing I do is just for myself.
Are you also amazed at the creativity in the fan base that's been sparked by, number one, what Stephenie did, and what you guys did with the films?
I'm always so impressed by it, and I'm really touched by it. That's what feels special about this. It's not people screaming and going, 'Oh my God, I love you!' And they don't know you. I mean I got handed a necklace - this woman was like, 'It took me four weeks to make this.' She didn't even know if she was going to see me at this signing, and she was like, 'I made this for you because I think you'd look nice.' I mean things like that, it's like 'Wow.'
How great to be a part of something that inspires other people to write? That was one of the things about 'Thirteen' that I always thought was so impressive. People were having in‑depth discussions and it became like a learning experience. It became an educational thing. So it was something deeper, and I feel the fans, there's been a lot of that. And one of the reasons why Paul [McDonald] and I wrote the song for the ['Breaking Dawn – Part 2'] soundtrack was for that reason, to show fans, 'Hey, this resonates with you in such a way, you feel inspired to do something because of this story. We felt inspired to do something.'
With the fans, do you feel a certain sensitivity towards them yourself because they hold it so precious? Do you worry, 'Oh, I wish I'd said something a certain way? I hope that isn't read into the wrong way?'
Yeah. But you know what? As much as the passion is appreciated – and greatly, by the way, by all of us – I also believe that people can take it too far, and if you're that worried about something…I've never said anything horrible or so controversial that it's been, like, blatantly obvious what I'm trying to say. The only things that I've ever said that have been like quote, unquote, bad have just been interpreted by people or spun to be perceived as bad because that's what they want to perceive it as.
Given that we've recently found out there's more 'Star Wars' in our future, if Stephenie in 30 years from now, is like, I have a 'Twilight' idea—
Yes, I would be there! Of course I would! Could you imagine if I was like, 'I don't want to play Rosalie when I'm 55 years old so some other blonde actress is going to step in and finish what I started.' No way. I would be there.
I am in no way planning on turning down anything 'Twilight' if it came from Stephenie. Who would I be to? – This has been such a blessing in my life, and I'm so appreciative and so happy to have been a part of it. If it came knocking at my door again, I'd be like, 'Where do I sign up?'

(VATICAN CITY) Today's Vatican Dispatch has a unique start to it. As I hinted in my Green Room post earlier, the Vatican press office decided to allow more journalists than previously considered to tour the nearly-complete additions to the Sistine Chapel for the papal conclave, including the stove system that will send out either black smoke for a vote that fails to select a Pope, or the white smoke that the pilgrims from around the world are already gathering to see. I got in with one of the last groups to be allowed into the Sistine Chapel, and even worked in the start of the show before being asked (nicely) to stop. Afterward, I picked up again outside of St. Peter's Basilica:
More than one in our group had attached microphones and started narrating into video cameras, but all of us were asked to stop and just shoot the video. No one had mentioned that prohibition beforehand, but as I say in the video, it's a reasonable request made nicely, so I'm happy to get what I got. The noise in the background came from the conversations taking place among the media as well as from workers trying to finish off the last of the work before Tuesday.
By the way, the abrupt end of this video was due to a technical error on my part while I was shooting it, not any kind of issue with officials.
In other news, the press conference gave some interesting tidbits about the ongoing congregation of cardinals. This is more or less verbatim from my notes:
- 145 cardinals were present today; 15 spoke "gave their interventions" last night (gave a speech), and 17 this morning. Overall, 133 interventions have taken place (some have spoken twice) on topics including "improving the performance of the Curia," the Church in the world, and expectations of the new Pope.
- The hours of smoke — Smoke does not appear after each ballot. Should be one around noon, and the other in the evening around 7 pm. If it's white, it will be between 10:3-11:30 or 5-6 pm. The bells of St Peter's Square will ring when a new Pope has been elected. The new Pope will appear in about 45 minutes after the smoke and the bells. "This is not like a Swiss watch. A little suspense is good for all of us."
- The procession of cardinals into the conclave begins at 4:30 in the afternoon of the 12th, from the Pauline Chapel to the Sistine Chapel. The rest is in a handout in the media center. It will last for one hour; when the doors close, the camera will be cut off, and the shot will probably track to St. Peter's Square.
A couple of days ago, the media was told that cardinals would not be available for public comment, which caused quite a stir. Today, the press office said that the cardinals had not been silenced, and they may use their time tomorrow to address the peoples of their nations in conjunction with the celebration of Mass in their titular churches. Each cardinal has an assigned church in Rome, and when they visit the city, they often celebrate Mass in these churches.
Not much activity will take place tomorrow, so I will not have a dispatch. Instead, I'll bring you interviews with George Weigel and Chris Ferrara, and break other news if it happens.
Update: I don't want anyone to miss out on the beauty of the Sistine Chapel. I've uploaded them to Flickr and have them arranged in a slide show:
The stairs are works of art in themselves. The entire place is simply breathtaking.

This is a discussion on Google Chrome FAQ within the Chrome Talk section, part of the Google Chrome category: This is designed to be a place where our most common questions get answered without the need to retype everything ...
This is designed to be a place where our most common questions get answered without the need to retype everything out. It will be updated accordingly when new topics are available.
Q: Everyone keeps mentioning this "Dev" version. What is that and how do I get it?
A: The majority of this site is solely focused around a Development version of Google Chrome which enables us to utilize the newest features far before they are released openly to the public. Because of these features it is likely that a lot of what is posted will NOT work on the Stable (regularly released version) or the Beta (slightly less stable) versions. Because of this it is important that you understand how critical being on the latest Dev version is when asking for help. We've solved a lot of issues just by telling someone to switch to Dev. Don't let this be you!
Read how to get on the Dev channel here: http://dev.chromium.org/getting-involved/dev-channel
Q: How do I enable extensions/user scripts? Where do they go?
A: These instructions should work for Xp, Vista and Windows 7. Right-click on your Chrome shortcut and select "Properties". On the "Shortcut" tab you should see a box labeled "Target" with a path pointing to the chrome executable next to it. Look below for examples of what will currently be in the box:
"C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe"
Vista/Win 7
Please note that if your user name in Vista or Windows 7 has a space (ie. Chrome Rocks) then the entire path may have quotations around it. These are important, do not remove them!
Place your mouse cursos to the right of .exe (or the quotation if present) and hit the spacebar once. Then type: --enable-extensions **Note the double hyphen** Go ahead and hit OK and open Chrome using that shortcut. It should now properly enable extensions. To verify extensions are working you can navigate to chrome://extensions in the omnibar and view all installed extensions (note you can also uninstall them from here). You can do the same thing to enable user scripts if you like by using: --enable-user-scrips
If you wish to use BOTH at the same time, add both of them to the target path:
C:\Path\to\chrome.exe --enable-extensions --enable-user-scripts
Once you have enabled user scripts and open up Chrome, a new folder will be automatically created for you. You can find it here:
C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\User Scripts
C:\Users\Dean\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\User Scripts
Just place the scripts you wish to use in this folder and you're all set.
Q: When I open Chrome from links in chat windows or e-mail, extensions aren't working. Why?
A: This has been covered in the following post: Enable Extensions - Start Menu and Hyperlinks
Q: How do I backup my data in Chrome? Is it possible to move this data to a Chrome installation on another computer?
A: All of your data for Chrome is stored in your "User Data\Default" folder:
C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default
Virtually every file you see here contains some part of Chrome's personal data. While you can backup this entire "Default" folder you may NOT want to backup the "Cache" folder as it can get quite large depending on your use. Also note that if you are moving this data to another installation make sure it's the same version because the "Extensions" and "User Scripts" folders may contain addons that will not work properly in another version. While all the files in this folder are pretty self explainatory, the one question we get a lot is "Where are my passwords and form data saved?" Well they are saved in your "Web Data" file.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A look at key moments this past week in the wrongful death trial in Los Angeles between Michael Jackson's mother, Katherine Jackson, and concert giant AEG Live, and what is expected at court in the week ahead:
Jackson's mother wants a jury to determine that the promoter of Jackson's planned comeback concerts didn't properly investigate Dr. Conrad Murray, who a criminal jury convicted of involuntary manslaughter for Jackson's June 2009 death. AEG's attorney says the case is about personal choice, namely Jackson's decision to have Murray serve as his doctor and give him doses of a powerful anesthetic as a sleep aid. Millions, possibly billions, of dollars are at stake.
— Jurors heard about Jackson in life and death from a pair of women who knew him and from coroner's officials who pieced together how he died. Jackson's mother skipped morbid testimony about Jackson's autopsy, but listened as her son's friend and makeup artist told jurors about watching him perform, and gradually become more dependent on prescription drugs.
— Jackson's longtime makeup artist Karen Faye testified that she overheard AEG co-CEO Paul Gongaware tell the singer's assistant to do "whatever it takes" to get the superstar out of a locked bathroom and to a rehearsal. Faye said Gongaware and another AEG official pushed Jackson to perform despite his emaciated appearance and signs of paranoia.
— A black-and-white photo of Jackson's lifeless body lying on a table before his autopsy. The image was shown in open court for less than a minute.
— Faye repeatedly break down in tears as she described how Jackson trusted his doctors but became more dependent on prescription medications in the early 1990s when he was on his "Dangerous" tour and facing his first bout of child molestation allegations.
— "Michael would do five songs to the dancers' one. I never saw anything like it." (Makeup artist and hair stylist Karen Faye, describing Jackson's stamina and ability to put all pain aside while he was performing.)
— "When I hugged him, he just felt like marble. But when I hugged, when I saw him briefly in 2006, he didn't feel like that anymore. He felt thin." (Dancer and choreographer Alif Sankey, who contrasted Jackson's appearance and build when she met him while shooting the "Smooth Criminal" video with the final years of his life.)
— Wade Robson, a choreographer who testified in Jackson's defense at his child molestation
trial, filed court paperwork stating that he was abused by Jackson over a seven-year period, according to his attorney. He has not stated how much he is seeking from Jackson's estate.
— A 20-minute preview of the Cirque du Soleil show "Immortal" based on Jackson's career and music was previewed at Las Vegas' Mandalay Bay hotel-casino. The show is scheduled to open June 29.
— Jurors will hear from AEG Live's first witnesses, a pair of choreographers who worked with Jackson and who will be called out of order to accommodate their touring schedule.
— Deputy Medical Examiner Christopher Rogers is expected to resume testifying and may offer an estimate of how long Jackson would have lived if he hadn't received an overdose of the anesthetic propofol.

Chinese reverse mergers, in which Chinese companies were able to come to market on American exchanges, experienced a boom over the past decade, but that appears to be coming to an end, at least partly because of weak regulatory oversight. And the bust appears to have cost American investors at least $18 billion.
Of the selection from among 122 reverse mergers with Chinese companies that Reuters examined, it found that $18 billion of their market capitalization had disappeared between the time of the companies' peak stock prices and July 10, 2011. Accounting irregularities and other problems have resulted in share prices plummeting, and since March some 25 Chinese companies have been delisted while auditors at 30 have resigned.
According to a Reuters report, reverse mergers work is this way: A private company that wants to be listed on a U.S. exchange buys a shell company, one that has no meaningful operations or assets, that is already listed on the exchange in question. Usually this is done through a shell broker, who has acquired the shell company and then seeks a buyer for it.
Shell companies are often based in corporation-friendly states like Delaware, Nevada or Utah. When the shell broker finds a buyer, it puts the deal together and the acquiring firm becomes a publicly traded company without having to go through the scrutiny it would endure if seeking listing on its own.
Since companies are incorporated under state laws, not federal, they are not subject to the oversight of the SEC, which doesn't usually examine reverse mergers until after the process has been completed.
The distinguishing factor for most Chinese deals is that the company doing the acquiring of the shell company is generally a holding company based somewhere like Delaware, the British Virgin Islands, or some other tax haven. That holding company controls the operations of the mainland China business operations, and that extra layer makes it even tougher for regulators to wade through the company's accounts.
And accounting is where the process breaks down. While reverse mergers are legitimate business processes, a company that wants to hide its balance sheets can find it easy to do so by using a shell corporation and then hiring an auditor who is unable to provide an accurate account of its books; or one who is willing not to.
An acquiring company must have an auditor registered with the watchdog Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB). (In March the PCAOB put out a report about possible problems with audits of Chinese companies engaged in reverse mergers; the SEC has set up a working group on Chinese reverse merger companies, and the FBI has opened an investigation.)
Auditors for many of these Chinese reverse merger companies are small companies, usually with no ties to China and perhaps even without a familiarity with the language. They are responsible for reviewing and signing off on documents for a company on the other side of the globe, which creates a situation ripe for corruption and deception. Another factor is that the PCAOB only reviews small companies in the U.S. once every three years.
Large auditors are not immune to problems with such companies, either. ShengdaTech, a chemicals manufacturer, was audited by KPMG—until April, when the auditor resigned, citing "serious discrepancies" in its bank statements and representations of customers.
Problems have included misrepresentation of assets, clients, and funding; cash balances; management integrity; idle factories; nonexistent suppliers; and other irregularities. Lack of transparency means that extra caution should be taken when considering investments in such companies.

The British-Israel World Federation (BIWF) has called a fast for this Saturday for the peoples of "the Covenant Nations."
The British-Israelites formed their federation in 1919, but their beliefs can be traced back to the previous century. As the British Empire expanded during Queen Victoria's reign and America was spreading westward fulfilling its "manifest destiny," so the number of believers grew. Their belief is based on God's promises to Israel in Genesis 48, that the two sons of his son Joseph would grow into a "company of nations" and "a great nation" – the British Empire and the United States of America.
It was a widely-held belief in the trenches of World War I, when men from all over the British Empire fought against Imperial Germany. The losses were so great that people became disillusioned with both religion and the empire.
As Britons turned increasingly away from their Christian heritage, so BIWF lost some support. The organization was supported by some prominent members of the British establishment, the most famous of which was Princess Alice, one of Queen Victoria's granddaughters. In the 1930's, as the Countess of Athlone, she was married to the Governor-General of South Africa; from 1940, following the sudden death of John Buchan, the popular Governor-General of Canada, she and her husband moved to Canada in war time, so that he could serve there, replacing John Buchan. They remained in Canada until 1946. On two occasions, they hosted President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Winston Churchill at Rideau Hall, the official residence of the Governor-General. King George VI, father of Queen Elizabeth II, also made supportive statements reflecting a belief in BI. A former prime minister of New Zealand was also a member. They have branches in a number of countries, including all the "covenant nations".
The idea still persists, in spite of Wikipedia's claim that the theory has been disproved, for which they give no evidence. Yair Davidy's Brit-Am organization in Israel supports the theory with archaeological evidence. An American organization called "Truth in History" publishes a magazine, which also upholds the teaching. Additionally, the Churches of God that came out of Herbert W Armstrong's Worldwide Church of God, continue to believe – their interpretation of prophecy is heavily influenced by British-Israelism.
Some are dogmatic in their support of BI, while others are equally dogmatic in their dismissal of the belief. There are those who believe the evidence supporting BI is overwhelming, but there are others who don't consider it conclusive and reject the teaching.
Whether you believe the theory or not is largely irrelevant. The fact Is that the "covenant nations" are in deep trouble, hence the call for a fast. Coincidentally, the date chosen for the fast is also the Jewish Day of Atonement, the holiest day of the year for Jews. On this day, believers are expected to fast completely, abstaining from all food and drink. The idea is for everybody to humble themselves before God, to be "at-one" with God, through prayer and Bible Study, as well as worshipping Him with others of like mind.
It's also a day for repentance. Repentance means to change, to overcome sin and return to God with great fervor. It's unlikely that the peoples of the "covenant nations" will go that far.
Followers of BI believe that Ephraim is the ancestor of the British peoples and nations that became dominions after independence (Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa). Note what God said to Ephraim in Hosea 7:8-10:
"Ephraim has mixed himself among the peoples; Ephraim is a cake unturned. Aliens have devoured his strength, but he does not know it, yes, gray hairs are here and there on him, yet he does not know it. And the pride of Israel testifies to his face, but they do not return to the LORD their God, nor seek Him for all this."
A little over seventy years ago, the descendants of Joseph, the peoples of the covenant nations, the Anglo-Saxon-Celtic peoples, dominated the globe. The British Empire and the United States had emerged victorious after World War II and it seemed as if God had given them supremacy all over the globe. But things started to go wrong immediately. The British lost their empire in the twenty years after the war; and the United States and Britain now seem unable to win any conflicts.
The Commonwealth has largely unraveled and may not survive the death of the Queen and ascension of her son, Prince Charles.
Certainly, Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand are not as close as they once were. They no longer form an effective military force and no longer see themselves as fulfilling a common destiny. They have also taken in millions of people from other cultures who do not share the same values inherited from Britain. ("Ephraim has mixed himself among the peoples"; "aliens have devoured his strength.")
At the present time, the greatest threat comes from Brexit and this is why BIWF has called for a fast. Brexit negotiations are not going well. The United Kingdom seems to be intimidated by the European Union, lacking in self-confidence, its stance somewhat reminiscent of Neville Chamberlain prior to World War II. ("Grey hairs are here and there upon him, yet he knows it not.")
BIWF's call for a fast and a day of prayer has this to say about Brexit: "On 29th March 2017, Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty was triggered for the United Kingdom to leave the European Union. We need to pray that the LORD will deliver the United Kingdom completely from the Babylonish EU as the difficult negotiations proceed."
BIWF publishes a book called "We Have a Guardian" recording historical evidence that shows God's intervention to help Britain in times of trouble. "Dunkirk" was one example in 1940. They are calling for God to intervene again, to save Britain through Brexit and to restore the country to its former self, when many of the people were devout Christians. They are mindful of the Queen's Coronation Oath, to maintain the laws of God and the true religion, two promises that all the queen's governments in each of her dominions have conveniently forgotten.
They are also mindful of the threat to the United States and the rest of the world posed by North Korea, calling upon their members to pray about the situation so that a devastating war can be avoided. Such a war would finish off North Korea, but may also set back the United States, allowing other nations to fill the vacuum.
Remember to pray for your country on this fast day.

Facebook has a new photo storage system that means deleted user photos really are gone -- even off of the social network's servers.
An experiment in 2009 showed that photos deleted on social media sometimes took months and even years to disappear from the Internet, according to Ars Technica. Facebook was by far the longest, with some of the photos not disappearing for three years.
But in February of this year, the company finally admitted . . . that not all photos were deleted within a reasonable amount of time. . . . "The systems we used for photo storage a few years ago did not always delete images from content delivery networks in a reasonable period of time even though they were immediately removed from the site," Facebook spokesperson Frederic Wolens told Ars in February. "We have been working hard to move our photo storage to newer systems which do ensure photos are fully deleted."
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Now Facebook's deleting seems to occur within a few days, and Wolens gave an almost-guarantee that the social network will take them down within 30 days. So no drunken college escapades will now ruin your chances for that job with the FBI.
Previously, Facebook was a private company and could have a more "take it or leave it" attitude, but now that it's public it has to please shareholders and users alike. We're not sure we're cynical enough to believe that may be the reason for Facebook's sudden quick turnaround of users' deleted photographs, but it sure is helpful now that the company's every move is being watched.
