This document is mirrored on CPAN as CPAN/modules/04pause.html.
A server dedicated to collect the work of perl authors is a [Perl programming] Authors Upload Server (PAUSE). PAUSE provides personal directories and enables their owners to upload their work into that directory themselves.
Important: make sure the filename you choose contains a version
number. For security reasons you will never be able to upload a
file with identical name again. This strict requirement does have one
exception: documentation files may be overwritten. There's a simple
regular expression that draws the line between docu and code:
/(readme|\.html|\.txt|\.[xy]ml|\.json|\.[pr]df|\.pod)(\.gz|\.bz2)?$/i. Filenames matching this
regexp can be uploaded as often as you like. By the way: it is highly
appreciated if your packages come tarred and gzipped with a
Makefile.PL (or Build.PL), so they can be installed in a standard way.
Use one of the many CPAN Mirrors to download from.
Registered developers have a unique username and a home directory in the authors/id/ tree of CPAN. The write access to that directory is password protected.
If you have written a module, script, or documentation you would like to contribute to the archive, visit pause.perl.org Registration (Non-SSL version) and fill in the form. You will be notified by email about your registration. Please allow three weeks for proceeding, which should be the maximum during vacation time. Normally we hope to register you within a week. The resulting email traffic will run through email@example.com and will be archived at http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.modules/. email@example.com isn't a mailing list, just an alias for the maintainers of the Perl 5 modules database. Please do not try to subscribe. Visit the archive instead.
As soon as you have a password (see registering) you are enabled to use some forms to interact with the PAUSE database (Non-SSL version). You can add files to your home directory, edit your name, email, and homepage address, delete your files, change your password on PAUSE, etc.
If you haven't got a password yet or have forgotten it, please visit https://pause.perl.org/pause/query?ACTION=mailpw (Non-SSL version) for further instructions.
Please, whenever you exchange email with the maintainers of PAUSE, mention either your userid or the name you used when you registered.
perlmodstyle, and
perlnewmod manpages and that you regularly check out
uploads to CPAN and that you have been watching CPAN activities for a
while to have an impression of how things fit together. It usually
boils down to (slogan shamelessly stolen and adapted from sudo(1)):
Before uploading a new module to CPAN, please carefully consider:
Choosing a good name is important if you want people to find your module on CPAN and understand (from the name alone) what it does.
Likewise, there are so many modules already on CPAN that it's a good idea to be sure that your module is doing something new or at least different (and hopefully better) than something already on CPAN. Search for similar modules on metacpan.org or search.cpan.org.
If you have never uploaded a module to CPAN before (and even if you have), you are strongly encouraged to get feedback on PrePAN.
PrePAN is a site dedicated to discussing ideas for CPAN modules with other Perl developers and is a great resource for new (and experienced) Perl developers. You can also consider discussing your ideas in other local community groups or online community sites like Perl Monks.
Also: think carefully and honestly whether your module would be better off if it were integrated into an already existing module. Sometimes it is for the best to put aside personal glory and join a collaborative effort: Perl itself is a good example of this. Contact the author of an existing module and ask whether your new features would fit into his framework. Even if you in the end decide to release the module as your very own, you really should know your 'competition', that is, know all the similar modules and the features they offer. Maybe you can learn from them, maybe you can help the users of your module better by giving them an overview about similar modules.
Authors upload new modules to PAUSE, which is responsible for inspecting,
validating and indexing uploads. PAUSE unwraps the upload and scans the source code
(namely all
*.pm files) for package declarations. In order for
a module to be indexed, the submitting author must be the owner or an authorized
maintainer for every package namespace found (unless the namespace is new, in
which case the uploading author becomes the owner of it).
After a module is uploaded to PAUSE, it propagates to www.cpan.org and dozens of other CPAN mirrors around the world. PAUSE also creates a number of index files used by CPAN clients like CPAN(.pm), CPANPLUS and cpanminus:
authors/00whois.html authors/00whois.xml authors/01mailrc.txt.gz modules/02packages.details.txt.gz modules/03modlist.data.gz modules/06perms.txt.gz
CPAN search engines like metacpan.org and search.cpan.org use these indexes and other heuristics to allow Perl developers to find modules that interest them.
If you have questions about these, be sure to send them to the right place:
So there's a module on CPAN that has a critical bug, lacks some features, or is generally under-maintained and you would like to step in?
It's great that you want to help out and we, the PAUSE admins, really don't want to create any unnecessary barrier to getting involved with an existing module (or distribution) on CPAN. There are, however, some precautions we have to take. The following paragraphs outline the reason for these precautions and the steps you have to take. Please read them carefully.
The majority of modules on CPAN has active maintainers. If the maintainer didn't answer the ticket you created in the request tracker, maybe she doesn't know about the CPAN ticketing system yet? Or she's just very busy this week and will get back to you in due time. The best way of helping out is to talk to the current maintainer about what you can do. Getting the PAUSE admins involved is only a last resort!
In some circumstances, we can grant co-maintenance permissions to you or others if the current maintainer of a module has entirely disappeared. You have to understand that is not a decision we make lightly. We are essentially giving write access to somebody else's work to third parties without explicit consent from the missing author. Since almost all code on CPAN has a free license, this is likely unproblematic from a legal point of view, but any violation of a contributor's trust in the PAUSE/CPAN mechanisms is a serious blow against the work of everybody who contributes to CPAN. For this reason, we try to tread very lightly, make the least possible use of the administrative privileges and attempt to protect voluntary contributors like yourself or the author of the module at hand from any unnecessary burden.
You have to realize that the author has probably invested a signficiant amount of time into writing the code in the first place and then gone through the additional work of making it available to others via CPAN free of charge. Therefore, it is crucial to be very polite when asking him or her for co-maintenance permissions. Politeness, however, does not suffice. Particularly when maintaining a module for which you received co-maintenance permissions from the admins (as opposed to being appointed by the author himself), you are *required* to respect the work and design of the author. A common fallacy is that people think they are much better programmers than their predecessors and that entitles them to judge others code quality and refactor everything. Whether or not your style is "better" is entirely irrelevant as it is not your code. Do not be arrogant, be respectful and tread lightly!
If you published your code to CPAN, then went on a hiking vacation (or to hospital) for a couple of weeks only to see that somebody took over, completely changed the design, and generally wreaked havoc, you would probably be rightfully upset and lose the good will that made you contribute in the first place. In order to prevent from happening, please go through the following steps and remember to be respectful all along:
Usually, after all this hassle, we are reasonably quick at assigning co-maintenance permissions, but don't hold your breath, we're only human after all. Most requests won't even get here as many authors who moved on and don't maintain their modules any more are very happy to see them taken care of and will assign (primary or) co-maintenance permissions after you've tracked them down and asked nicely.
Good luck and thanks for stepping up.
Do not upload the READMEs that are integrated in your distribution
files. PAUSE is designed to take care of unwrapping your file with tar
or zip, registering all the modules it finds in there, and placing the
readme file (i.e. a file with the name
README in
the top level directory of your package) into your directory. PAUSE
will change the name of the file to
package-name.readme. It should do so within
a few hours after your upload.
Please make sure all your
*.pm files contain a
$VERSION variable that conforms to the CPAN rules, i.e.
the complete computation of $VERSION must take place on the one first
line within the module that assigns to it. You can test if this is the
case by running
perl -MExtUtils::MakeMaker -le
'print MM->parse_version(shift)' 'file'
on the filenames in question. The CPAN indexer will run this code within a Safe compartment, so maybe even if the above command succeeds, PAUSE may fail if you're doing file IO or other potentially dangerous things within that line.
Before you decide which style of versioning you prefer, you might want to read the version manpage.
The automatic integration of your work into several indexes and directory trees is not always what you desire. Often you want to release code for testing out the next release. Code that propagates through CPAN but is not in a stable state. Something between two versions.
If you want to do that simply choose a filename that matches
/\d\.\d+_\d/ or contains
Please choose a sequence that is easy to comprehend. People have adopted
different conventions:
# 1.92 release and bug fixes 1.92 1.9201 1.9202 ... # dev releases towards 1.93 1.92_50 1.92_51 1.92_52 ...
This allows two separate development tracks between 1.92 and 1.93.
Other people do odd and even, with all odd majors always being dev releases:
0.15_01 0.15_02 0.16 0.1601 0.1602 0.17_01 0.17_02 ...
PAUSE will leave the underscore distributions alone: no readme will be extracted, no index will be updated, no symlinks will be created. Of course many users on the CPAN will take note of the developer releases. Cpan testers will test them and bug chasers will probably file bug reports in RT.
Any distribution that arrives at PAUSE is checked for package names contained in the distribution. A package name that arrives for the first time is automatically assigned either to the author who submitted it or to user perl if the distribution file is a perl distribution. A package name that has already been used before must be submitted by its author, otherwise PAUSE will trigger a warning to the administrator. That way PAUSE will prevent accidental usage of a package namespace by more than one author.
Be prepared that very soon after your upload your module will be tested on dozens of architectures by the never tired cpantesters. This helpful lot will send their findings to their mailing list and collect the results in a database. If they find problems, they try to diagnose or even solve them and inform you about their findings. So be prepared to get mail from them before you have closed the buffer in your editor.
Module::Build is an effort to overcome many deficiencies in
MakeMaker and CPAN. One idea in that context is the storage of
module-metadata in a file META.yml,
that is being integrated into the module-tarball. PAUSE is supposed
to follow this emerging standard. The current code base of the PAUSE
indexer supports META.yml by extracting it and storing it in a
separate file that is called
package-name.meta in the same directory.
The PAUSE indexer honours the contents of the no_index and
the provides fields. All other fields are currently ignored.
Two documents are available about authors. 00whois.html is a list of authors, mailing lists and mailing list archives in HTML format,
And 01mailrc.txt.gz is a smaller list intended to be used as a .mailrc file. Both files are maintained automatically.
When new files arrive on the PAUSE, an Upload Scanner program scans the new files and categorizes them according to their contents. It tries to detect namespace clashes and to keep track of version numbers.
The document 01modules.index.html lists only the most recent distribution files that contain the latest of any given module that is available on CPAN. A second version of this document is also available that is sorted by modification date. Both are maintained by the scanner automatically.
The listing 02packages.details.txt is also produced automatically. It is intended for programs but sometimes is a valuable information for humans too. It simply lists the current version number and the distribution file for all packages found on CPAN.
There are also two symlink trees of modules maintained automatically. One is based on the basenames of the packages involved: by-module and the other one divides the modules by the chapters of the Module List: by-category.
You have forgotten how you're supposed to package your software? Maybe the perlnewmod manpage can help you.
A real FAQ is about how to adopt or take over a module from somebody else? perlfaq7 has the full answer (as of rev. 393).
You wanted to ask questions about authoring? Maybe the module authors mailinglist or the Perl Monks will give you a lead.
You wanted to include proper tests in your package? A myriad of general purpose and custom tailored testing modules are discussed on the QA mailing list.
The PAUSE source code is kept in a git repository at git://github.com/andk/pause.git view it at https://github.com/andk/pause.
Thanks to all of you for your great contributions!

The recovery in the U.S. housing market is slowly reaching more parts of the country, but some states are experiencing a healthier recovery than others.
There were 47,000 completed foreclosures nationally in May, down from 52,000 a year ago, which is a drop of 9.4%. But if you look at the month-over-month numbers from just April to May, completed foreclosures were up by 3.8%, according to mortgage-data firm CoreLogic. This is still more than double the amount of foreclosures that typically took place before the housing market crash in 2007: Completed foreclosures averaged 21,000 per month nationwide between 2000 and 2006.
Completed foreclosures reflect the actual number of homes lost to foreclosure. Since the financial crisis began in September 2008, there have been around 5 million completed foreclosures in the U.S. In May, roughly 660,000 homes were still in some stage of foreclosure, down from 1 million in May 2013, a decline of 37%. The foreclosure inventory as of May 2014 represented 1.7% of all homes with a mortgage, compared with 2.6% in May 2013.
Foreclosures may also weigh on house prices in areas where they're more common, experts say, and there's still wide disparity between the foreclosure inventories in states. The five states with the highest foreclosure inventory in May were New Jersey (5.8% of all mortgaged homes), Florida (5.2%), New York (4.3%), Hawaii (3.1%) and Maine (2.8%). The five states with the lowest foreclosure inventory were Alaska (0.3%), Nebraska (0.4%), North Dakota (0.4%), Wyoming (0.4%) and Minnesota (0.5%).
New York — along with Florida, Hawaii, New Jersey, Maine and 17 other states — is a judicial foreclosure state, which means foreclosures must go through the court system. In non-judicial foreclosure states, the lender might only notify the owners that they are in default before putting their home up for auction. North Dakota, which has one of the lowest foreclosure rates, is also a judicial foreclosure state, but it has a much lower housing inventory than states like Florida, and its real estate market has also benefited from the oil boom.
New York is split into three different markets, says Steven Domber, broker and owner of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Hudson Valley Properties in Hopewell Junction, N.Y. "New York City is one of the better markets in the country right now," he says. "There's also job growth in upstate New York. The Hudson Valley is not gaining jobs or losing jobs. The closer to the city, the healthier the markets are." But the lengthy judicial process can make a state look unhealthier than it is, he adds.
The real estate market is working through the final foreclosures, which also provide an opportunity for investors and first-time buyers who are willing to do some extensive renovations, experts say. And although many of these bank-owned homes are in need of repair and not in the best neighborhoods, they will still help boost inventory in those markets. The five states with the highest number of completed foreclosures for the 12 months ending in May were Florida (122,000), Michigan (44,000), Texas (39,000), California (34,000) and Georgia (32,000) and accounted for almost half of all completed foreclosures nationally. The lowest were the District of Columbia (71), North Dakota (334), West Virginia (515), Wyoming (710) and Alaska (856).

The Cavision 4 x 5.65" Soft Mist Black 1/8 Filter can be applied to purposely reduce sharpness and soften highlights. This can be useful for reducing the appearance of glare on a subject while creating a general soft-focus effect. When applied to digital cinematography or digital photography, the soft-focus effect provides results that emulate the appearance of recording with the grain structure and emulsion of film. Additionally, as highlights within a frame are diffused, ambient illumination is distributed to darker areas within the exposure, helping to balance the tonal range among highlights and shadows.
This filter constructed from glass, is compatible with filter holders that can accommodate 4mm-thick rectangular filters, and has a grade of 1/8. Grades of 1/4 or 1/2 are also available where this filter type's effect becomes approximately twice as strong with each grade number increase.

There are issues of critical mass for a successful list to consider. There are also alternative formats -- e.g. wiki instead of actual mailing list. Finally there are issues of sponsorship and linkage -- it is easier to get to critical mass if there is a mechanism other than google for feeding people and certain threads of discussion over to the new venue. Possibilities include crossconnecting/linking the new resource with an existing resource to get some synergy, hijacking threads on the beowulf list that are sufficiently "academic" that they are as noted slightly OT for what most of the list membership cares to here (if there is any way to note that), periodic advertisement on the beowulf list (in the form of gentle invitation to move threads vs hijacking:-). >> So if it were a democratic process, I'd vote to keep it here, but if a >> new list/site is created, I'll go wherever the information is. > > I just wanted to try and avoid throwing a lot of off-topic posts onto this > list. The list in the past has been pretty tolerant about the width of topic represented by its many many threads. It is pretty easy to ignore any given thread after all, and overall the signal to noise level on this list has remained fantastically high for roughly a decade. It's also hard to second-guess what list members ARE interested in. The commercial hardware or software folks sell to -- universities, among other places. Many many cluster owners and users and administrators on list work at/in universities. Even total corporate cluster builders/admins/users have SOME overlap with universities although their needs and funding are likely to be different in lots of places as well. I'd wait for somebody to complain, personally, before concluding that the beowulf list can't handle the traffic you describe. The bigger problem may be in the other direction. Are there individuals and groups that you think would participate in the new proposed forum who would NOT join to beowulf list to do so, for whom the bulk of beowulf traffic itself is "noise"? If you are thinking of a "list for university deans" or members of research support offices or departmental administrators -- places where they can discuss funding models that would have no interest whatsoever to cluster builders (and vice versa, where they don't care about coarse vs fine grained, only how to set up a cost-sharing mechanism that granting agencies will support and have it administerable and accountable should they get audited) -- then yeah, I think a new list or other venue would be very useful. There you WILL have to deal with the issue of keeping the interest of a stable of real cluster experts, because of course the list will not be useful unless its ultimate conclusions DO include all sorts of things derived from a detailed knowledge of interconnects, power generation by nodes, coarse vs fine grained requirements... so SOMEBODY will have to be able to do deanspeak as well as clustertalk and enjoy it enough to do it voluntarily. Or get paid. Or both. Then you still have the problem of building it and having them come, but you'd have a unique and important product and with enough feeders and some solid content online one way or another and maybe an associated consulting service you might make it go... >> (How >> many subscribers are on this list now anyways? The www.beowulf.org >> website says, "Over 3,000 researchers, engineers, students, and software >> developers have participated in these online discussions since 1996." >> but it doesn't say how many are subscribed now.) > > That would be an interesting number to know. It would indeed. I'll say from some offline experience that there are many, many more "members" than actually participate in discussion threads. I end up in offline conversations or real human conversations with folks who have lurked on the list for years, or used its valuable content via google from the archives, and are contacting me just on some specific point. Then there are digested remailings of selected list threads and more.

1 ) urgent procurement of strategic air defence assetts . this could be subject to approval at the national level given the extremely high cost
S 400 , HQ 9/ FT 2000 etc
2) more gunships. it seems the PA doesnt either like the WZ 10 or it isnt ready enough, Tiger is too expensive, ATAK comes with strings such as western engines etc, rooivak line is closed if im correct.
iran is locally producing AH 1 , a JV with them can be considered . AH 1 is a proven , reliable and given the new upgrades, a potent platform
3) overhaul of remaining armor fleet, esp the old T 59s that have not undergone Al zarrar upgrade, least of which is night fighting capability
4) dedicated comm protocol for the military, 3G speed wireless secure data nodes atleast at brigade level to be issued to formation commanders . encrypted e mailing( already under implementation ) etc to minimize spoofing which is relatively easy on commercial networks/servers which the military is getting too accustomed to use
5) over all transformation of PA into a lean, mean and mobile fighting machine. new doctrines to make it happen, ( much has been done in this area btw )

Lily is one of the most beautiful flowers in the world and is widely used in the floral arrangements as cut flower. There is a huge variety found all over the world for lilies in different colors and shapes. Lilies basically belong to the Asia but is now found and cultivated in all parts of the world. Its regal attractiveness, rich bloom and magnificent scent have fascinated the hearts of many, making the lily flower almost as popular as the rose.
Types of Lily Flowers:
Lily flowers are found in numerous colors and each of them brings out a different meaning to the world of human emotions.
White lilies are pure flowers symbolizing virginity, as in the Christian history the white lilies are a symbol of Virgin Mary herself. White lily is the most opted flower amongst all of the brides on their wedding. White lilies symbolize purity, virginity, youth and majesty.
Red Lily:
Red lilies are graceful and striking flowers. They arouse feelings of passionate love and desire. Red lilies are special flowers to enjoy on special occasions. Red lilies stand for the best feeling in whole world; nothing else than "love". Red lilies are a symbol of warmth and desire.
Pink Lily
The most famous pink lily in the world is the Stargazer lily, because it has the strength to express every feeling you can think of from delight to admiration and compassion. Pink lilies represent wealth and prosperity, but are considered as a symbol of adolescence and acceptance, as well. The appearance of lilies may guide our thoughts to feelings of hope and aspirations.
Purple Lily
Purple lilies are a hybrid between regal trumpet lilies and Asiatic Lily; purple lilies are found in a variety called Purple Prince. Purple lilies are a symbol of royalty. As the lily symbolizes the innocence, beauty and purity so mixing it with the royal color will make it even greater presentation of royalty.
Orange Lily
Orange lilies are used for an extensive range of events like weddings, funerals, Halloween, Easter, Thanksgivings, and birthdays. Orange lilies are also called fire lilies and do not hold a loving meaning. These flowers when gifted to any one deliver the message of hatred or death of recipient. The orange lily does not stand for joy and happiness; it stands for lesser nice feelings and meanings.
Tiger Lily
Tiger lily is basically specie of orange and black lily. They are also known as leopard lilies. They are a deep shade of orange, with black spots on the blooms. Tiger lily is often used in bridal bouquets too. Tiger lilies symbolize wealth, pride and prosperity.
Black Lily
The most popular varieties of black lilies are; "Black Spider" Asiatic lily in black and white, black-red "Black Beauty" lily variety and "Black Jack" lily. Black lilies are mysterious flowers. Black Lily has a charisma in it that has all the strength to captivate the human eye. Black lilies are symbol of death. It is also considered that black lilies are a symbol of lies.

OS - Xubuntu 13.04 64-bit fresh install (up to date)
I'm trying to install the ati/amd graphics drivers for the laptops dedicated graphics card, but im having a really hard time.
I followed the Ubuntu_Raring_Installation_Guide on a fresh install (packages up to date). The installation seems to go fine. But when I reboot this happens.
Note. I followed the Ubuntu_Precise_Installation_Guide on 12.04 LTS 64 and that worked fine testing fglinfo and the gears test all worked well. So then I updated that to 12.10 that worked fine too. I should have gone on to 13.04 with the update but I pushed my luck and went a fresh install of 13.04 and then struck problems again.
*Update 1. Installed Xubuntu 12.10 64 and followed Ubuntu_Quantal_Installation_Guide it needed libqtgui4 but the driver works fine.
*Update 2. Updated Xubuntu 12.10 64 to Xubuntu 13.04 64 same problem as fresh 13.04
Only seen this error once, after second install I didn't get it just boots saying
* startingand nothing else.
Is this a bug cause by me? or Ubuntu or AMD? Where do I point the finger?
How do I construct a useful bug report for this issue?

I'm often in Geneva -- a city rich in history, culture, and natural beauty. It is also a city embraced by people from around the world as a focal point for addressing some of the world's most challenging issues. As the home to many international organizations including the World Trade Organization, the World Health Organization, and the UN Human Rights Council, Geneva is a global crossroads.
And so, when the Secretary was looking for an appropriate location to deliver a groundbreaking speech outlining U.S. views on the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered (LGBT) persons, Geneva was the obvious choice. Speaking at the Palais des Nations in the run-up to International Human Rights Day, the Secretary reminded her audience that LGBT rights are no less universal than other rights we defend. She stressed that every person, irrespective of social orientation, is imbued with human rights. Secretary Clinton said, "It is violation of human rights when people are beaten or killed because of their sexual orientation, or because they do not conform to cultural norms about how men and women should look or behave."
This most recent visit by the Secretary to Geneva only further reinforces the U.S. commitment to employing multilateral tools to advance our global human rights priorities, and reinforces a landmark LGBT resolution passed by the Council in June of this year.
These actions are further reminders that the Human Rights Council's performance has changed for the better, and that the United States has been instrumental in fostering that change. When we ran for a seat on the Council in 2009, we argued that our vocal, authoritative presence on the Council would make a difference, and that only by working with the Council could we advance effectively our human rights goals. Two years later, I believe this approach has been validated.
Just last week, the Council held a special session where it further illuminated the Syrian Government's brutal conduct and endorsed renewed efforts to expose that conduct to the light of day. The Commission of Inquiry report that framed this session is important reading for all concerned about the situation in Syria.
This special session is the latest example of the Council's improving performance, which in recent months has included attention to country situations in Yemen, Cote d'Ivoire, Iran, Sudan, Belarus, Somalia, Libya, and Kyrgyzstan. It has featured innovative action on freedom of assembly, internet freedom, freedom of religion, on discrimination against women, and more.
Nobody is suggesting that the Human Rights Council is a perfect institution. Challenges remain. I am suggesting, however, that U.S. leadership on the Council has made a crucial difference in the Council's effectiveness, and that this leadership must be sustained.

Our alleged ally, Saudi Arabia, is about to beat to death some Australian guy with 500 lashes for insulting some long-dead associate of Mohammed.
If the UN can't stop that violation of human rights, what good is it?
Saudi Arabia shouldn't even be a member of the UN if that kind of punishment is doled out for tourists who temporarily forget their manners.
Zharkov in the U.S.A. writes:
Another alleged ally, Thailand, imprisoned an American, Joe Gordon, for publishing in America a biography about the King of Thailand.
To impose Thai law on an American who exercised his right to free speech inside America is clearly a violation of Mr. Gordon's civil rights in America, for which the Thai government should be held liable for money damages.
Why are countries having "royals", mullahs, and dictators who violate human rights allowed to remain members of the U.N., a supposedly democratic institution?
Are there no standards of conduct or decency for U.N. membership? Can any murderous tyrant join the U.N. and thereby lower the standard of human rights for the rest of the membership?

What is your political philosophy? It is an interesting question that few people really give time to think about. With apologies to George Carlin, here's how I see the three largest political parties in our country.
Republicans are like football players. This game is played in the winter, when everything is dying, and in all types of weather. It is a rough sport so all of the players wear helmets and pads, and the game played on gridirons, which often have names like Memorial Stadium or Soldier Field.
Since this game is akin to a war, the quarterbacks are seen as the field generals who try to force their team all the way through their enemy's territory to score by throwing bullet passes from shotgun formations on target to their receivers. And occasionally when the attacks stall, a specialist comes onto the field to kick. Uniquely, to be awarded more downs is a good thing.
The football game is timed, so we mostly know when it will be completed, but the teams receive a two-minute warning before the time expires. Nevertheless, there are lots of opportunities during the lulls between each play to analyze what has just happened, and everyone knows when the action will resume. Of course, only the skilled players can legally touch the ball, and normally only the strongest and fittest teams prevail.
Democrats, on the other hand, are like baseball players. This game is played in the spring and summer, when the weather is nicer and the flowers begin to bloom. In keeping with that spirit, the rules provide that if it is raining the game must be postponed. So this is more of a gentleman's game, played in a more pastoral setting, like a park.
Taking gentlemanliness to an extreme, baseball is probably the only game in which the ball is put into play by the defense, and those on offense are actually prohibited from touching the ball at all. Although there are set numbers of opportunities or innings for each team to score, the game is not timed. Furthermore, if the teams are tied after the set number of innings, the game can drag on for an unlimited number of extra innings until one team prevails.
The baseball players wear full uniforms with long pants, but they use no padding and wear caps instead of helmets. This is also probably the only game in which the manager wears the same uniform as the players, so everyone at least can appear to be equal.
The players on the teams communicate with each other by using their own special signals. And if a specialist is needed, he comes onto the field to relieve another player. Of course, the game is not as gentlemanly as it would seem, because stealing is a significant part of the contest, whether it be to steal a base or the opposing team's signals. But, instead of pursuing things like downs, the offensive players are called up to bat. Of course, like the gentlemanly sport it is designed to be, many of the players are called upon to "sacrifice," a pitcher who fakes throwing to the plate or a base is penalized, and the object of the game is to be safe at home.
Libertarians are far different from the others because they are like soccer players. This game, like life itself, is played year round and in all kinds of weather. The players wear functional uniforms with short pants, but they do not use any pads or head coverings. In fact on occasion some players, both male and female, show their individuality when victorious by publicly taking off their shirts.
The action in soccer is almost continuous, there are few time outs and the game evolves quickly from offense to defense and back again. In addition, substitutions are rare, and all players play both offense and defense, can touch the ball and can score. The games are loosely timed but, if tied at the end, there is a quick succession of penalty kicks by several players that finally decides the game.
Of course, all of these linkings of political beliefs with various sports are generalizations, but you will probably see that many of the comparisons are valid. Libertarians agree that life, like in football, can be brutal, so we need a government to protect us from other countries and also from each other — and we also need a Constitution to protect us from our government! But, unlike football and baseball players, soccer players are generally much too busy with the ongoing game to argue or lobby with the referees to try to get better calls that influence the final results. Thus Libertarians rely more upon their own performance, instead of seeking things like tax breaks, individual and corporate welfare, and other benefits from government, for their success.
Of course, Libertarians join many Republicans in being perplexed with those who say that it is greedy to try to keep your own earnings, but not greedy to use the government to take the earnings of somebody else. Yes, we all know that sometimes people need some help, but Functional Libertarians respond by believing that government should be the last resort instead of the first resort.
As is our reputation, we Libertarians take our liberties seriously because they represent our core values. But we would hasten to add a Statue of Responsibility to go along with our nation's Statue of Liberty, because we know there can be no liberty without individual, corporate and governmental responsibility. And that makes us unique in political life today.
So when it comes down to it, probably 80% of voters share the libertarian values of both financial responsibility and social acceptance. Are those your values too? Where do you fit? You can find out by going online to LP.org/quiz and taking the World's Smallest Political Quiz. I think you will find the results to be quite revealing.

Few things are worse than going to the doctor. We mean, what's the upside of shelling out cash for some creepy guy with a porno 'stache to give us a hernia test? We could trick our girlfriends into giving us a one for free. There are, however, a few exceptions where we'd have to suck it up and make a visit to the doc's. For example, if we found ourselves with an eel stuck up our butt.
Well last week, a New Zealand guy showed up at the Auckland City Hospital emergency room, because he found himself in that exact predicament. Isn't it the worst when exotic creatures find their way into your poop hole? The New Zealand Herald described the eel as being "about the size of a decent sprig of asparagus," which sounds awfully unpleasant and is swearing us off asparagus forever. Doctors successfully removed the eel from the man's butt, although we're unsure if the eel survived.
Now, we can't help but notice there are a few hazy areas to this story. For starters, what the hell was this guy doing that he was too busy to notice an animal was scoping out his butt in the first place? We've also taken notice of the newspaper's commentary that eels "prefer habitats with plenty of cover" and "they hunt by smell rather than sight." Basically, it looks like this entire fish-in-the-anus dilemma is entirely the guy's fault.
And that's the hole story.

Subscribe To Clint Eastwood Blu-ray And DVD Collections Come With Tons Of Famous Films Updates
I've already subscribed
Clint Eastwood has been headlining movies for years and has been in the motion picture business for even longer. To celebrate his illustrious career, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment is putting together one Blu-ray and one DVD set of some of Eastwood's favorites. Never shy about their hopes the company noted in the release that the Clint Eastwood 40 Film Collection DVD and the Clint Eastwood 20 Film Collection Blu-ray will be available for purchase beginning on June 4, "just in time" for Father's Day.
The sets come with some older Eastwood classics, as well as a few newer movies like Gran Torino and The Trouble with the Curve. The set should give fans a pretty comprehensive look at Eastwood's life on film, which spans decades and covers a successful acting, producing and directing career. Unfortunately, in order to get the extensive DVD set or that sweet Blu-ray set with that sleek grayscale packaging, it's going to cost a pretty penny. The Clint Eastwood 40 Film Collection will run for $279.98 and the Clint Eastwood 20 Film Collection is currently listed at $129.95. Both the DVD set and Blu-ray set are available for pre-order on Amazon, and you can catch the latter for under a hundred bucks right now through the retailer.
There are no new bonus features available with the set, but there is a brand new documentary from Richard Schickel called "Eastwood Directs: The Untold Story. The documentary sounds decent, with some of Eastwood's peers, co-workers and friends discussing his vision as a director, which sounds a little bit better than the reality show his family planned. If you don't want to shell out for one of these giant sets to see the documentary, it will be aired on TCM on May 30 at 8 p.m. ET.
You can check out the full list of flicks in the 40 Film Collection, below. Any films that are also available in the 20 Film Collection are denoted by an asterisk*.

The White House, like much of the rest of the Northeastern United States is coping with the second major snow storm to hit the region in less than a week. Even for snow-hardened people from Chicago, like President Barack Obama and his family, this is a winter for the record books.
The president has one word to describe the twin storms.
It is a play on the words snow and Armageddon - a recognition that this is a snowfall of historic proportions.
Just last year, President Obama scoffed when a few centimeters of snow prompted schools to close in the Washington D.C area. He is laughing no longer.
He ventured out in Saturday's storm only to have part of a snow-weakened tree collide with a van in his motorcade. When the second storm approached, the first family took no chances.
The president prepared to hunker down to wait out the snowfall and advised many staff members, as well as the ever-present White House press corps, to stay home.
His schedule was hastily arranged, as weather forecasters put out travel warnings and began to urge residents to stay off already snow and ice-covered streets.
A White House concert celebrating the music of the American civil rights movement planned for Wednesday was pushed back to Tuesday night as new snow began.
"Welcome to the White House everybody," said President Obama. "And thank you for braving the storm."
What originally might have been a rehearsal became a full production that will air Thursday on national television - one of a series of concerts highlighting the music that, as the president put it, tells the story of America.
For Mr. Obama - the nation's first African-American president - the music of the movement has a special meaning, as he recalled the songs that provided hope and solace to those confronting segregation.
"Above the din of hatred, amidst the deafening silence of inaction, the hymns of the civil rights movement helped carry the cause of a people and advance the ideals of a nation," said Mr. Obama.
Several of the leaders of the civil rights movement were expected to remain in Washington for a private meeting with the president at a White House that literally lived up to its name - rendered nearly invisible by the wind-driven snow.

Hello Designer,
I recently founded this new group and blog. And to start off I came up with this idea:
I'm thinking of a hunt where the designer can decide if he/she creates a black or a white item, this should be related to the topic "cats", and it should be a new release and exclusive during the time of the hunt, be creative, it doesn't have to be the traditional neko clothing. If you wish you can also present two items at once, one black and one white. I don't necessarily refer to the colors, it can also mean "naughty or nice", the interpretation is up to you. But please don't everybody do angels and devils :) The object to be found is either a black or a white kitty *Suprise ^^*
It will be a 5L hunt and the maximum amount of stores is set at 55.
If I awakened your interest, please fill out an application and send it to Kralicecik Dufaux.
Thank you for your time,
Join our group inworld to stay updated and for help from other hunters.

ATHENS, Ohio � Former St. John's High star Shadrach Abrokwah had 31 carries for 110 yards and a touchdown in his first career start, but UMass fell in its season finale to Ohio, 51-23.
Abrokwah, a walk-on freshman, rushed for a team-high 93 yards on 20 carries in a loss to Central Michigan last week for the Minutemen.
Beau Blankenship rushed for 124 yards and a 50-yard touchdown for the Bobcats, while Tyler Tettleton passed for 246 yards and two touchdowns as Ohio (7-5, 4-4 MAC) outgained UMass (1-11, 1-7), 461-290.
On the second play from scrimmage, Blankenship set the tempo by busting out for his long touchdown run.
Tettleton followed that with a 2-yard strike to Chase Cochran, and it was 14-0 before everyone settled into their seats.
The Minutemen got a 42-yard field goal from Brendon Levengood and a 3-yard TD run from Abrokwah to cut the deficit to 14-10, but the Bobcats scored two more touchdowns and a 30-yard field goal from Josiah Yazdani to lead, 31-10, at the half.
In the second half, Tettleton added a 4-yard touchdown pass to Landon Smith, and Travis Carrie returned an interception 30 yards for another score.

The Way
THE WAY is a powerful and inspirational story about family, friends and the challenges we face while navigating this ever-changing and complicated world. Martin Sheen plays Tom, an irascible American doctor who comes to France to deal with the tragic loss of his son (played by Emilio Estevez). Rather than return home, Tom decides to embark on the historical pilgrimage "The Way of St. James" to honor his son's desire to finish the journey.

The NBA kicked Dwyane Wade where it hurts, too, suspending the Heat guard for one game for "flailing his leg and making contact with the groin" of Ramon Sessions of the Bobcats on Wednesday in Charlotte.
The one game? Eh. Wade must sit out when Miami (20-6) plays Friday at Detroit (9-22). At 34, 38 and 37 minutes the last three games, the latter two in a back-to-back, the point can be made that the rest will do him good.
Except that this has become about more than the one game. Wade "getting his Rockettes on" against Sessions was so over the line and has become part of such a growing list of regrettable moments that his reputation is suffering.
Whether Wade is wounded by comments along the lines of Boston's Rajon Rondo calling him out for "dirty plays" is not known. But Wade should care. A suspension for appearing to purposely kick an opponent in the groin for no reason other than Sessions taking a foul opens the kind of file with the NBA no one should want.
The second-best player on a team with aspirations for a title repeat will be judged from now on through a different, harsher prism. There is a precedent. Wade, for all the good he has done in a career that will lead to the Hall of Fame, also has a history that will work against him if future incidents come up.
As Brian Windhorst chronicled on ESPN.com before the suspension had been announced:
- During a game in Boston in the 2011 regular season, Wade was hit with a flagrant foul for shoving Kevin Garnett after Garnett had leveled Mike Miller with a screen.
- In the 2011 playoffs, Wade got wrapped up with Rondo while going for a loose ball. After Rondo elbowed Wade, he appeared to stick his leg out and sweep Rondo to the court. It resulted in Rondo dislocating his elbow. At the time, Wade said it was inadvertent.
- Wade broke Kobe Bryant's nose, raking him from behind during an unusual physical play during the 2012 All-Star Game. Bryant had fouled Wade twice previously in the game.
- During a regular-season game last April in Miami, Wade threw a forearm at Chicago Bulls guard Rip Hamilton after Hamilton bumped him trying to create space on the perimeter. Wade was called for a flagrant foul.
- During the first round of the playoffs last season, Wade threw the shoe of New York Knicks guard Mike Bibby off the court after Bibby lost it getting a rebound.
- During the second round of the playoffs, Wade blindsided Indiana Pacers guard Darren Collison on a fast break. Wade, who seemed to be reacting to not getting a shooting foul moments earlier, was assessed a flagrant foul.
Many could fade into the background if they were single happenings. Some, like shoving Garnett in defense of a teammate or tossing Bibby's shoe in a strange attempt to gain a competitive advantage, can even be seen as exactly the chippy attitude a team should want from a star. In totality, though, that is a very long list.
Commissioner David Stern has made it clear that past incidents matter when the time comes to decide on disciplines, and Wade has several. Whether or not Wade cares about his image around the league, it is why he should absolutely be concerned with the reputation in the biggest offices at NBA HQ.

Pera Pera CornerBy Pauline Kitamura
Backcountry Snowboarding in Japan's Powder Heaven
こういう時はどう言うの? 教えてポーリン先生!質問とリクエストはmost welcome。ドシドシ送って下さい!
Pera Pera = to speak fluently; to blab; to blabber; Blabber Blabber
Okay. I'll admit it. Being Canadian, I was a bit of a "powder snob," haughtily believing the best powder in the world was to be found in Canada. But after a few ski trips up to Hokkaido and northern Japan, I have to say I could be wrong. Some of the best can be found right here in Japan.
Backcountry Gear - The Basics
Snowboarding or skiing on fresh powder is heaven, as long as you're well prepared. So before we head off to the backcountry (bakku kantoree バックカントリー) here's a list of gear you'll need. Many of the words will sound familiar, since they originally come from English but, to sound truly Japanese, attempt pronouncing them in Japanese.
snowboard - sunohbohdo (スノーボード)
boots - bootsu (ブーツ)
goggles - goggu (ゴッグル)
helmet - herumetto (ヘルメット)
snowshoes - sunohshoozu (スノーシューズ)
backpack- bakkupakku (バックパック)
snowboard jacket & pants - sunohbohdo jakketto & pantsu (スノーボードジャケット & パンツ)
You also might want a pair of retractable ski or snowboard poles. In Japanese they are not called "poru," but rather referred to as suttokku (ストック).
Avalanche Essentials
While backcountry snowboarding is extremely rewarding, it also involves some risks, the biggest being nadare (雪崩) or avalanche. Listen carefully to the snow and weather reports before heading out and make sure you always carry the following avalanche essentials:
beacon / avalanche transceiver - beekon (ビーコン)
shovel - sukoppu (スコップ)
probe - purobu (プローブ)
A walkie-talkie, called a toransheebah (トランシーバー;) in Japanese, may also be useful, since you most likely won't get cell phone reception out there.
Guided Tours & Renting Gear
When venturing into unfamiliar territory, signing up for a guided tour is highly recommended. You'll also be able to rent gear you might need.
"Sunohshoozu to sutokku wo karitai desu." (スノーシューズとストックを借りたいです)"I'd like to borrow a pair of snowshoes and poles."
"Beekon wo rentaru shitai desu." (ビーコンをレンタルしたいです)"I would like to rent an avalanche beacon."
Useful Phrases in the Backcountry
Here are several easy but useful phrases when powder boarding. If someone falls, check to see if they're okay:
Daijoubu? (大丈夫?) Are you okay? You alright?
Kegawa? (怪我は?) Are you hurt?
Un, daijoubu (大丈夫) Yes, I'm okay.
Daijoubu janai (大丈夫じゃない) I'm not okay.
If they're "daijoubu," then go ahead and say: Hadeni korondane! (派手に転んだね!) Great wipeout! Then, if you feel generous, you may want to offer some help: Tachi agareru? (立ち上がれる?) Can you get up? Can you stand up?
When asking for assistance, you can say: Tasukete! (助けて!) Help me! Or Chotto teo kashite kudasai (ちょっと手を貸してください) Please lend me a hand.
Backcountry Tips
Here are a few words of wisdom that may spare you some discomfort.
The longer the better. When riding on powder, longer boards will more easily uku (浮く; float) on top of the powder, while a shorter board will frustratingly shizumu (沈む;sink) into the deep snow.
Protect your digits. Wear a warm pair of innah gurobu (インナーグロブ;inner gloves) beneath your waterproof autah gurobu (アウターグロブ;outer gloves). Without the inners, your fingers can numb in seconds when exposed to the freezing cold while fiddling with your gear.
Fall not! If at all humanly possible, don't fall because recovering from a tumble will cost you a lot of extra energy. Trying to stand up in powder is like doing push-ups where the floor keeps dropping out beneath you. If your recovery efforts seem futile, the best course of action is to give up. Detach the snowboard and trudge through the deep snow until you can find a slope to re-start your ride.
Backcountry Gear
ストック (suttoku) Poles
雪崩 (nadare) Avalanche
ビーコン (beekon) Beacon, avalanche transceiver
スコップ (sukoppu) Shovel
プローブ (purobu) Probe, avalanche probe
トランシーバー (toransheebah) Walkie-talkie
スノーシューズとストックを借りたいです。(Sunohshoozu to sutokku wo karitai desu.) I'd like to borrow a pair of snowshoes and poles.
ビーコンをレンタルしたいです。Beekon wo rentaru shitai desu. I would like to rent an avalanche beacon.
Useful Backcountry Phrases
大丈夫? (Daijoubu?) Are you okay? You alright?
怪我は? (Kegawa?) Are you hurt?
大丈夫 (Un, daijoubu)大丈夫じゃない (Daijoubu janai) Yes, I'm okay.I'm not okay.
派手に転んだね!(Hadeni korondane!) Great wipeout!Crash, tumble, fall
立ち上がれる?(Tachi agareru?) Can you get up? Can you stand up?
助けて! (Tasukete!) Help me!
ちょっと手を貸してください (Chotto teo kashite kudasai) Please lend me a hand

- Description
- Halcyon is a post-geometric typeface made up of 16 fonts across 8 weights. Each weight contains an upright with a corresponding true italic. Halcyon's design builds on the foundations of classic typefaces such as Futura, Gill Sans and ITC Avant Garde Gothic, by mixing their geometric structure with more modern humanist qualities and attributes. The result is a friendly and approachable personality with a sophisticated and serious edge. Halcyon feels familiar, but unique, playful but not asinine. The versatility of its character makes Halcyon a reliable choice for any design decision. With a large variety of weights, and a whole host of Opentype features, Halcyon can adapt to fit the tone of your communications. The lighter weights present a more refined and formal voice, while the heavier, oversized weights grow more exuberant. It's large x-height and open apertures increase it's legibility, making it perfect for setting large display headlines or small sized, long form text. Halcyon is a multilingual family with hundreds of accented characters, and allows for customizable characters through diacritic combinations. All European languages are already covered, alongside many more within the Latin alphabet.

The information in this article applies to:
I have a gap between my deck beam and the gable roof above it. There is no ceiling in the Deck room, so no gable roof generates above this area. How can I fill in the gap with a manual attic wall?
It's easy to manually create attic walls to fill in gaps, such as in gables where the program can't determine where one is needed, or if you have turned off the automatic generation of Attic Walls.

The city's spending panel approved an $18 million loan agreement on Wednesday to turn hundreds of vacant houses and lots in North and East Baltimore into new and rehabbed homes.
Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake said the development will breathe new life into the neighborhoods of Barclay, Midway and Old Goucher "after years of neglect."
City housing officials chose Telesis Corp. in 2006 to build about 325 rental units and owner-occupied homes in neighborhoods between Charles Village and Station North. The $85 million plan, which could take a decade to complete, targets city-owned vacant and rundown rowhouses and lots for redevelopment. The funding approved Wednesday will help build the second phase of the project, officials said.
The company has completed 80 homes in the area.
"The goal is to try to bring in fresh blood and place them in good houses," said Brad Schlegel, who handles public relations for the Barclay-Midway-Old Goucher Coalition. "These houses are very well built, and the rehabs are even nicer. People who drive through will see good things happening."
Much of the $18 million deal — $13 million — comes in the form of tax incentives from a federal low-income housing program. PNC Bank is contributing $1.2 million and the state and city about $2 million each in loans.
In other action, the Board of Estimates approved a more than $11 million, 10-year lease for new offices for the Baltimore City state's attorney's office in downtown Baltimore.
The city will pay landlord FSP East Baltimore LLC to rent 65,000 square feet on five floors of 2 N. Calvert Street to house the city's prosecutors. The annual rent on the property will begin at $1 million and rise over time to $1.4 million, according to the agreement.
Baltimore State's Attorney Gregg L. Bernstein, who took office in January 2011, has pushed to get new offices for his approximately 200 employees, who are now housed in the downtown courthouses. Prosecutors complain the offices are cramped and in disrepair.
Bernstein pitched the idea of a move to lawmakers at a February meeting, saying it was "an issue of public safety and being efficient in our operations."
Both items passed by unanimous vote without discussion.

Stayed at Fireside Lodge in Sun Peaks 10 nights late Jan / early Feb 2014.
Great accommodation and easy access to lifts and return run to room.
Terrain is fantastic with lots of runs available - but not all are groomed every day. Best feature was the Host volunteers who provided a 2 hour free tour of the slopes at 9:15am or 1:00pm each day.
That time of year turned very cold - not sure if that is why there was hardly anyone on the mountain but from what I hear it is pretty normal - non-existent lines!!!
Let Travelplan ski organise your Sun Peaks ski trip.

LulzSec Arrests Take a Few Heads Off the Hydra
Mar 6, 2012 12:34 PM PT
Authorities in the United States, as well as in the United Kingdom and in Ireland, have arrested five suspected hackers affiliated with Lulz Security, more commonly known as "LulzSec," a group of so-called hacktivists. Among those arrested is Hector Xavier Monsegur, the suspected leader of the group.
Monsegur, who went by the nickname "Sabu," actually cooperated with the FBI to help track and arrest the other LulzSec members, according to press reports. In this way, the FBI is reusing an old, but effective, method from its own playbook.
"This is how the FBI eventually took down the Mafia," Rob Rachwald, director of strategy for Imperva, told the E-Commerce Times. "It comes down to finding one informant and milking it for all it's worth."
Those involved were identified in media reports as Ryan Ackroyd, known as "Kayla," and Jake Davis, or "Topiary," both of London; Darren Martyn, known as "Pwnsauce," and Donncha O'Cearrbhail, known as "Palladium," both of Ireland; and Jeremy Hammond, or "Anarchaos," of Chicago.
International Crime and International Police
What is notable about these arrests, said Rachwald, is how well coordinated the efforts were, with police agencies in Great Britain, Ireland and the United States working hand in hand.
"One of the facts that made this successful is that the global coordination is really improving," Rachwald added. "This shows that law enforcement agencies around the world are talking. They are taking this seriously. We saw efforts between Western Europe and the United States."
The danger still persists however, as more effort does need to be made with law enforcement in China and notably Russia, he said.
This has been a learning curve, noted Rachwald. "This is showing that [law enforcement] is getting it. We've seen law enforcement caught off guard, and this often happens with new methods of crime. They are behind the curve, but they figure it out. Past the prologue, this is the evolution we should expect."
Anonymous Threat Remains
LulzSec is only a small piece of the greater hacktivist threat, and in itself is an offshoot of the larger group known as "Anonymous." These hackers have been responsible for numerous attacks, including one on PayPal and even the Federal Trade Commission. While the arrest of Monsegur could potentially spell the end of LulzSec, Anonymous will likely remain unaffected.
"LulzSec is just a spinoff of Anonymous," Steve Fox, chief executive officer of Security Pursuit, told the E-Commerce Times.
This isn't going to signal the end of hacktivism or Anonymous, he said -- "absolutely not."
Anonymous and these affiliated groups are akin to al-Qaeda, Fox observed. The groups are so decentralized that members operate apart from one antoher.
"We could see more attacks in the coming weeks," he added. "Generally speaking, they will likely try to make a mockery of the arrests. They may go after the agencies involved and try to make their point that they cannot be stopped."
The arrests, while symbolic, have not really hurt the leadership significantly, in Fox's view, and even could be used as a recruiting tool.
"There is not one point of leadership, so arresting five members is symbolic more than anything," he said. "It could send a new message to some people who might think twice if they see being people being arrested. But that won't be enough to shut down Anonymous. And there will be individuals that could be motivated, and some will jump on board."
Legion of Geniuses
On the other hand, these arrests could have a greater impact and could signal a major break, suggested Rachwald, just as the FBI and other law enforcement agencies seriously weakened organized crime.
"I think this takedown is significant, and to go to the al-Qaeda comparison, a bin Laden-less al-Qaeda is less powerful than with bin Laden," he said. "What this has also done is damage the myth of the hacktivists."
One point that needs to be emphasized, said Rachwald, is that LulzSec -- and even Anonymous -- are small groups, with a so-called legion of geniuses following an idiot.
"I think a few will people will get cold feet," he concluded, "especially the ones who are more skillful -- and these arrests are going to scare that legion of geniuses."
