The Silents/The Silence
The two words sound much alike. Have we been hearing voices say "Silence will fall", or "Silents will fall"? Or maybe it doesn't matter, and "the Silence" is a word akin to "Humanity". In any case, these are Moffat aliens through and through. Unlike the Weeping Angels which can only move when you're not looking at them, the Silents are edited out of our memory when we AREN'T. And in typical Moffat fashion, they affect the viewer as much as the characters themselves (well, a LITTLE less). So... HAVE we seen them before and forgotten? Fans are now going back through Series 5 to find instances of people directing comments to parts unknown, especially in The Lodger (see Black TARDIS, below). If we weren't aware of them, the same can't be said of others. The Vampires of Venice said they were running from the Silents, and Prisoner Zero knew about them. Certainly, even if they are chased off Earth after 1969, we see one at the Doctor's death in 2011. Still no clue as to their ultimate motives (though they themselves were of the opinion that humans would do well to kill them on sight), but there seems to be a link between them and the Doctor's exploding TARDIS. And does that mean there's a connection to the cracks? The cracks also had a memory editing element to them. Did the Silents come through the cracks from another universe? Are they trying to build a TARDIS so they can bring the rest of their people through? (They tell Amy she will "bring the Silents".) And how long have they been at it? And it seems to hinge on...
Schrödinger's Pregnancy
This is the truly insane bit of the story. The little girl in the spacesuit seems to be Amy's, but how can that be? Well, we meet the child in 1969, but she's been at the creepy orphanage at least since '67. Amy is pregnant in May '69 (and in 2011), but not in July '69. And the girl seems to be, what, 6 or 7? But there's no reason Amy can't have the baby later in her life, but earlier in History, at which point that picture can be taken, the Silents can grab her, etc. etc. But there's more. According to the TARDIS scanner, Amy is both pregnant and not pregnant, and the child definitely has a "time-head" (or whatever you want to call it). She regenerates! I'm sure there will be 'shippers out there who'll say Amy had this baby with the Doctor somehow. I don't believe it for a second. The Vortex/TARDIS could turn Rose in the Bad Wolf, I'm sure a child conceived aboard a flying TARDIS (the effect of one of those honeymoon trips) could indeed have been affected. Amy's vision of the eyepatch lady in the door could be a premonition of a possible future (for her) or past (relative to 1969). Her quantum baby could have her astride multiple realities (one with a child, one without), which flicked her to the eyepatch lady. Amy's pregnancy is for sure going to be the focus of a later episode. And before you ask whether the child is part Time Lord, remember that regeneration is a Time Lord GIFT, not a genetic heritage. Can the TARDIS hand these out to certain special individuals?
I should also mention the post-hypnotic suggestion the Silent gave Amy in TIA to tell the Doctor what he should and shouldn't know. This may be why Amy tells the Doctor about her pregnancy. So is it in the Silents' best interest that the Doctor KNOW about the pregnancy? Do they need the Doctor to investigate the possibility in order to make it happen? After all, THEY need the child, and I believe they need it to pilot their TARDIS. In The Lodger, it needed a Time Lord. The girl has a Time Lord's abilities. It may be that being in quantum flux makes her non-viable, and she IS dying at the end of DotM. The Silents push humanity to go to the Moon so we'll invent the perfect life-support system... FOR this girl. So they may well play a hand in making her this way. If they're always around, they may even have been the ones to put the romantic music on the TARDIS record player to make sure Rory and Amy would conceive it in the proper conditions. Who knows!
Black TARDIS
Some have started calling the TARDIS from The Lodger the "Black TARDIS", so I will too. We now know (or guess? the Silents DO steal technology rather than make it) it belonged to the Silents. It was abandoned presumably because the Silents had left Earth or been killed. We see the same set in this story, but get a little more information. River's scan reveals its tunnels go all around the surface of the Earth. What does that mean? Did they turn the entire Earth into a TARDIS? Take control, then send the planet through space and time looking to expand their empire? A bizarre idea, but they wouldn't be the first to try and turn Earth into a big, inefficient spaceship, would they? And maybe this is a coincidence, but the pilot's limited vocabulary of "Help me", sure sounds a lot like the little girl hologram used by The Lodger's Black TARDIS to attract passing souls. That's where it took its template or I'm reading too much into things?
River Song
We're getting closer to knowing the truth about her, though she now says she met the Doctor when she was a young girl (I'm reading this as naive, not as a child) and he knew everything about her. A lot of stories are alluded to, though most seem to take place during the 200 years between the present Doctor and the Doctor who dies in 2011. I'm thinking we'll need an episode at some point that hints at a whole life between the two characters, in which they have tons of adventures (perhaps played like A Christmas Carol's many Christmases).
Who she killed, what her exact relationship is with the Doctor... that's all yet to come, though I still refuse to entertain the notion that she is some past character regenerated or recast, not even Amy's daughter. It just doesn't work for me with what we're actually shown.
The Doctor's Death
Obviously, the Doctor's death needs to be undone, because River has said she needed a guide to tell the different Doctors apart. She would have met TWO if Matt Smith is the last Doctor. I think the big question here - apart from who the astronaut is, as the girl did free herself from the suit, unless she must return to it to live in a second incarnation - is WHY the Doctor called those four to witness his death. It has to be some kind of long game to prevent his death, the seeds of which were planted in 1969. It's a paradox. The dying Doctor introduces Canton III to his companions, which will lead them back to Canton in 1969. Presumably, they would have gone to 1969 anyway, except now the Doctor is leery about the whole trip. It probably doesn't happen how it did the first time around, but what's different? He still lands in the White House, still meets Nixon, is introduced to those tapes, and so on. Fighting the Silents still happens. The only really different thing is that he's suspicious (the invitation is brought up again in DotM). What unseen precautions does that make him take? We haven't seen a resolution to this yet because we don't discover at the end that the astronaut and Silent were wiped from 2011. More questions!!!
And now just stuff I liked...
"Apollo 11 is your secret weapon?" "No, that would be silly. My secret weapon is Neil Armstrong's foot!"
Canton III: Awesome character. He can take the piss out of anything. Nixon was his second choice, the Doctor gets only his maps, and he takes the Secret Service down, like, 100 pegs.
The Doctor's firsts are River's lasts. Great set-up, and so, so sad.
Amy's Choice II: Oh don't go there. Not cool. Ah, I see. All a bluff. You're a mean one, Mr. Moffat.
Next Week: Pirates!

A couple of more questions:
**In TIA, River also "felt a bit sick" when she went underground. That can't be a coincidence. Is River pregant/not pregnant as well? Is it an effect the Silent have on women (or women time travellers, at least)?
**The future Doctor (let's call him Doctor 1103)...where was his TARDIS? How much of what he said is true? Heck, is he even really the Docotr? An awful lot being taken on faith...
**Re: regeneration being a gift. Ah, but what about The Doctor's Daughter? No gift there...maybe the child is, somehow, another reconbobulated clone-type thing. And an upcoming episode is entitled The Doctor's Wife, which almost seems to deliberately remind us of Jenny...

Jenny didn't regenerate though. It's the ecosystem matrix energy healing her as it did the planet. Look at the scene again. The energy she breathes out is green rather than gold.
- May 2, 2011 at 10:03 AM
- snell said...
I would say a)The Matrix conveniently didn't revive any of the other dead on the planet (although there's a corkin' good idea for a Dr. Who zombie story--a terraforming process that ends up raising the dead!). If you want to say that it was a unique interaction between her unique biology and the Matrix...I would require time and beer to formulate an adequate response.
b) The Doctor did think that it was possible she might regenerate. Yeah, it was obviously mostly wishful thinking, but it would saeem to indicate that, on some level, he doesn't think it's a gift but an inherent biological property...

It all depends on what you want to believe is current canon. It was a gift in the classic series (think of the Master being offered an extra 12 in The Five Doctors), but post-Time War, who knows. Maybe the TARDIS now imparts it. Or the Time Lords retrofitted all their genes somehow to make better soldiers. Anything's possible at this point (and the BBC has made a point of announcing the 12 regen limit is off). Who knows?

I am no Who specialist, but wondered why at the end when Amy saw the Silent again on the horizon she did not want to kill it?
- May 2, 2011 at 11:06 AM
- Siskoid said...
Good question. We don't know what the original timeline was like. Maybe the Doctor DIDN'T beat the Silents so roundly originally, and only manipulations seen here lead him to effect the Armstrong Gambit.
Or maybe Amy has never seen the moon landing footage. It's possible.

Ah, but Amy saw it live... :-)

Oh wait, you don't mean 2011 (the end that is the beginning), you mean at the end of Day of the Moon?
Because there is no scene like that after the moonlanding.

I was sure it happened again after the moon landing, but I have certainly been wrong before.

I also don't really buy into that its Amy's dauther or the Doctor's. It doesn't really mesh it seems. There is this one theorie that the Doctor gets younger with each regeneration, so the little girl is an futur regenerated version of Doctor. Regenerated and got younger physically and mentally. Would explain why Amy is holding her in that picture.
Green blast that kills the Doctor quite like his sonic screwdriver. Maybe killing his past self to fix something in the timeline. Meh. all really weird.
- May 2, 2011 at 9:50 PM
- Craig Oxbrow said...
Amy (and Rory) weren't moved to curbstomp the pre-broadcast Silents because the broadcast didn't include it in their subjective timelines until the Doctor added it.
And other people are calling it the Black TARDIS? I thought that was just me using the blindingly obvious phrase.
- May 3, 2011 at 1:54 PM
- Craig Oxbrow said...
Also, Jenny's regeneration/revival/Genesis Planet effect is just one of those deliberately-up-for-interpretation things. The Source energy looked rather regeneration-y if more green, and the Master's regeneration had a bit of green in there.
- May 3, 2011 at 1:56 PM
- Siskoid said...
For me, the most compelling evidence of Source vs. regeneration is that Jenny DIDN'T in fact regenerate. She healed/came back to life, but suffered no physical change.
- May 3, 2011 at 3:44 PM
- Craig Oxbrow said...
That could be the fifteen-hour "handy spare hand" window, or another example of the Doctor being really bad at regenerating compared to the average Time Lord.
When I statted Jenny out for DWAITAS, I kept it ambiguous, because I felt that was what the show was doing.
- May 4, 2011 at 9:24 AM
- Siskoid said...
I wonder if Jenny will ever appear again.
- May 4, 2011 at 10:02 AM
- Craig Oxbrow said...
Since she's alive because Steven Moffat said "could we not kill her after all?" and in last month's Doctor Who Magazine he talked about an idea for an episode where we catch up with various characters including Jack, River and her, I'd say it's possible.
- May 4, 2011 at 10:21 AM
- Siskoid said...
That would be fun!
- May 4, 2011 at 10:27 AM
Amy is pregnant and not pregnant. If there are two conflicting timelines being played out, and one leads to disaster, I could see the Doctor needing to put an end to one of them. That could include killing one version of himself. This could have something to do with making sure the Silents don't have a pilot, even an unwilling one.
As the owner of multiple cats, I find that Simple Solution can take the piss out of anything, even better than Canton III. His laundry technique hasn't been thoroughly explored, however.
- May 5, 2011 at 12:09 AM
... And I just remembered that Rory can sometimes keep the memories of Roman times out of his head, and sometimes not. But his Roman adventures didn't even happen in this timeline, so Rory shouldn't be able to remember any of that. Multiple incompatible timelines, I tell you.
Let me pull another pointless guess out of my butt. The Timelord race is dead and gone, we know ... but I suspect Moffat will bring it back, not after its end, but at its very beginning. With all of the Doctor's interacting with humans, I wonder if he is unintentionally planting the seeds of the Time Lords into mankind, so that the Gallifreyan race will somehow spring from the human race. Donna Noble has got a lot of Time Lord in her, Amy's hypothetical child can regenerate, the Doctor's Daughter is out and about with complete Gallifreyan DNA.

Adams, Thomas (fl.1612-1653) (DNB00)
ADAMS, THOMAS (fl. 1612–1653), a divine who was pronounced by Robert Southey to be 'the prose Shakespeare of puritan theologians . . . scarcely inferior to Fuller in wit or to Taylor in fancy,' has left only the most meagre personal memorials behind him. His many title-pages and epistles dedicatory seem to be almost the sole sources of information now available. From these we ascertain that he was in 1612 'a preacher of the Gospel at Willington' in Bedfordshire, between Bedford and St. Neots. Here he is found in 1614, and from this sequestered rural parish issued his 'Heaven and Earth Reconciled,' 'The Devil's Banquet,' and other of his quaintly titled sermons. On 21 Dec. 1614 he became vicar of Wingrave, Bucks, which he is said to have held until 1636. From 1618 to 1623 he held the preachership of St. Gregory's under St. Paul's Cathedral, and during the same period preached occasionally at St. Paul's Cross and Whitehall. He was likewise 'observant chaplain' to Sir Henrie Montague, lord chief justice of England. To Montague he dedicated, in 1618, 'The Happiness of the Church; or a description of those Spiritual Prerogatives wherewith Christ hath endowed her considered in contemplations upon part of the twelfth chapter to the Hebrews; being the sum of divers sermons preached in St. Gregorie's, London, by Thomas Adams, preacher there.' Throughout these and later years his epistles dedicatory and incidental references show that he lived on friendliest and most intimate terms ('inward' is his word) with the foremost men in state and church: William, Earl of Pembroke, Sir Thomas Egerton, Lord Ellesmere, and others are addressed as personal friends rather than mere nobles or patrons. In 1629 he collected into a massive folio his numerous occasional sermons, which, in contrast with Henry Smith's small duodecimos, had been printed in small quartos. John Bunyan was then only two years old, but it seems certain that the Bedfordshire preacher's quartos and great folio came to be known and devoured by the 'immortal dreamer.' His 'Sermons' as thus collected he dedicated to the 'parishioners of St. Bennet's, near to Paul's Wharf, London,' and to Lords Pembroke and Manchester. In 1638 appeared a vast Commentary on the 'Second Epistle of St. Peter' (folio), dedicated to Sir Henrie Marten, Knt. In 1653, in a pathetic little epistle before 'God's Anger and Man's Comfort'—two sermons first recovered by the present writer—he addresses 'the most honourable and charitable benefactors, whom God hath honoured for His almoners, and sanctified to be His dispensers of the fruits of charity and mercy, in this my necessitous and decrepit old age.' Newcourt and Walker enter him as 'sequestered,' but neither adduces authority or proof, and there is little probability in the statement. Adams's vehement and courageous denunciation of popery offended Laud, and there is to be sought the secret of his later neglect. He must have died before in the Restoration.
Thomas Adams stands in the forefront of our great English preachers. He is not so sustained as Jeremy Taylor, nor so continuously sparkling as Thomas Fuller, but he is surpassingly eloquent and brilliant, and much more thought-laden than either. He lays under contribution the spoils of an omnivorous learning and recondite reading; nor less noticeable is the vigour with which a 'character' is dashed off, in the style of Overbury or Earle, and a 'portrait' taken outmatching John Bunyan. It is impossible to overstate his convincing fervour and his resistless impressiveness of appeal, in spite of faults of sudden incongruity and lapses of taste. His works have been republished in Nichol's 'Puritan Divines' (3 vols, 8vo, 1862), edited by the Rev. Dr. Thomas Smith, and with a life by Professor Angus, and his 'Commentary on the Second Epistle of St. Peter' by Sherman.

Wife of Wis. spa shooter confirmed among dead
Last Updated 3:44 p.m. ET
MILWAUKEE, Wis. A medical examiner says the wife of the suspected gunman who was the subject of a restraining order issued last week was among three women killed in a shooting rampage at a suburban Milwaukee spa.
The Waukesha County medical examiner's office said Monday that 42-year-old Zina Haughton, of Brown Deer, was killed Sunday at the Azana Day Spa.
The other victims are 35-year-old Cary L. Robuck of Racine and 38-year-old Maelyn M. Lind of Oconomowoc.
Four more women were injured and remain hospitalized. One is in critical condition and the other three are in satisfactory condition. Their names haven't been released.
Police say the suspect, 45-year-old Radcliffe Franklin Haughton, was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound inside the spa.
According to court documents, Zina Haughton said her husband threatened to throw acid in her face and jealously terrorized her "every waking moment." In a separate police report, she said the couple was in theprocess of getting a divorce and "we are always arguing."
In a written request for a restraining order filed Oct. 8, Zina Haughton said her husband was convinced she was cheating on him and that he also vowed to burn her and her family with gas. He said he would kill her if she ever left him or called the police, according to the court papers obtained Monday by The Associated Press.
Haughton was arrested earlier this month for slashing his wife's tires. She was granted a four-year restraining order on Thursday.
Under the order, Haughton was prohibited from owning a firearm.
- Police say alleged gunman in deadly Wis. spa shooting killed himself
- At least 3 killed in Wis. day spa shooting
A .40-caliber semiautomatic handgun was used in the attack, said agent Tom Ahern of the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
CBS Affiliate WDJT reports that a just-released criminal complaint details a stand-off that Radcliffe Haughton had with police in January 2011. The complaint said his wife called police after he started throwing her clothes outside and poured tomato juice on her car.
Once police got there, the complaint said, Haughton stood against the window with an unidentified silver and black object in his hand.
When it ended no one was hurt, but he was charged with domestic violence - a charge that was eventually dropped later that year because a witness failed to appear in court.
Haughton's father, Radcliffe Haughton, Sr., spoke to The Associated Press shortly before police announced that they had found his son's body. He said he had last spoken to his son a few days ago but didn't know anything was wrong. He begged his son to turn himself in.
After learning of his son's death, he said only: "This is very sad."
The shooting prompted Democratic lawmakers in Wisconsin to reintroduce a bill designed to take guns away from perpetrators of domestic violence. Sen. Lena Taylor says there are inconsistent standards across the state for the collection of weapons. The Milwaukee County Sheriff's Department has not responded to messages left asking whether Haughton surrendered any weapons as ordered.

Telta felt rather than heard the quiet half-elf appproach her. A few moments passed then she felt a tap on her shoulder. The elf turned a questioning look on her face.
His slightly awkward expanation and apology was unexpected nor was there any need for him to do so. He had nothing to apologize for. She watched him as he spoke and when he complimented her on her looks she was surprised.
Telta could only imagine what she looked like after days of riding. She hadn't even taken the time to refresh herself before entering the guild house. The elf ran a hand through her pale blond hair feeling the tangles and knots the wind had created. She looked down brushing at the dirt and dust that had imbedded itself on her clothes and skin. She stopped realizing just how much the opposite she looked of what Sidhlarion had said.
She started to laugh. A quiet, warm genuine sound. He stepped back his expression one of hurt.
"Sidhlarion Valar I do ask your forgiveness. I am laughing at myself not at you. Your words are kind but there is nothing to apologize for. As for me well I know what I must look like and fair does not apply in this instance."
Her words caused him to blush. She had embarrassed him though she had not meant to. Telta laid her hand upon his arm when he turned away from her, her mood turning serious. He looked at her.
"I have not laughed in quite some time. I was beginning to think I could not." She squeezed his arm gently.
"Thank you."
Letting go she looked out at the horses once more her face a shade redder at the boldness of her action.
"I promised Shadowdancer a good grooming. Perhaps we could talk more. I would like to hear what made you decide to become a bard."
OOC-Thank you Sid I shall certainly be reading the thread and if the muse strikes who knows what may happen.

I agree, 5 years between albums is far too long - people do forget about Jamiroquai (only us fans remember. )
Taylor Swift's "Speak Now" came out on the same day as RDLS and her next album "Red" already came out in October 2012. 2 years is a respectable break between albums. And she tours worldwide in between too!
Personally, I would like the next Jamiroquai album to have less rock and more funk/soul.
Music more along the lines of "Smile".

New Canaan girls hold off Ridgefield to remain perfect
Recommended Video:
DARIEN -- For the New Canaan girls hockey team, the schedule might be getting tougher, but the result has stayed the same.
Win after win after win. Eleven in a row to start the season to be exact.
In its latest triumph, New Canaan scored the first four goals on its way to a 4-2 victory over Ridgefield at the Darien Ice Rink on Saturday afternoon. Olivia Hompe notched a hat trick and goalie Nathalie Deney stopped 27 of 29 shots for the 11-0 Rams.
"We were all feeling good and we were pumped," Denay said. "It's definitely good to prepare because once we hit the postseason in FCIACs and states, we're going to be playing really tough teams who are fired up all the time. So this is really our chance to test how far we can go and how hard we can work."
The Rams got on the board 8:49 into the first period when Hompe was sprung on a breakaway after receiving a pass from Corbett Ripley. Hompe weaved past a defender to go in one-on-one with the goalie before finishing a backhander for a 1-0 lead.
The last 1:09 of the opening period proved pivotal, as New Canaan scored twice to boost its lead to 3-0.
"It's not ideal. One of our team rules is not to give up goals in the last two minutes of any period," Ridgefield coach Lauren Gibbs said.
First, Catherine Grantio doubled her team's lead after receiving passes from Madzie Carroll and Amelia Carroll with 1:09 remaining. After winning the ensuing faceoff, the Rams set up shot in the attacking zone and Hompe scored her second goal with Granito picking up the assist.
"I think we gave the game away a little in the first period a little bit," Gibbs said. "We didn't come out our hardest and just dug ourselves in a hole we couldn't get out of, but we got better and better each period."
"(The first line) had just come off of a really nice goal, so we figured why not leave them out there and see if they can do some damage and they did," New Canaan coach Rich Bulan said. "That's a big goal."
With New Canaan on the powerplay midway through the second period, Granito again sent a pass to Hompe, who skated across the blue line on a breakaway and scored for the 4-0 lead.
After being robbed by Deney on several occasions over the first period and a half, Ridgefield's Maeve Reilly broke through 10:40 into the second. With the puck loose in front of the New Canaan net, Reilly jammed away before finally pushing the puck into the net, as Meredith Keenan and Erica Ely collected assists.
Reilly scored her second goal with 8:51 remaining in the third period, but the Tigers were unable to make up the early four-goal hole as the clock ran out on the Rams' 4-2 win.
"They're a good team. I think the difference for us tonight was Natalie having her third or fourth big game in a row, and Olivia does what Olivia does," Bulan said. "I thought the defense did some really good work. There were some gutsy plays all around."

Announcement on AD will come after school naming chancellor in July.
Illinois won't name an athletic director until after the university announces the hiring of a chancellor, which is expected sometime in July, the university confirmed Saturday.
President Michael Hogan told athletic director search committee chair Larry DeBrock that a chancellor is expected to be named in mid-to-late July, so the AD might not be known until August.
"We're going to delay the announcement of the athletic director until after the announcement of the chancellor,'' DeBrock said on WDWS radio Saturday. "That's the natural order of things. It would be out of place to name an AD on July 1, then hire his or her boss two weeks later.''
Athletic director Ron Guenther announced his retirement earlier this month and said he wouldn't work past his contract, which runs through June 30. The school may hire an interim athletic director.
The change in timeline is the latest change on the search for an athletic director. Earlier last week, the university hired Parker Executive Search. The respected search firm is billed as a leader in college athletics. The news the selection of a 10-person search committee and previous plans to not hire a firm.
"It wasn't our intention to hire a search firm,'' DeBrock said Saturday during the radio interview.
The change came after meetings with Hogan. DeBrock also said there's no rules against hiring a candidate from inside the Big Ten.
"I don't think there's any reason for that to be eliminated,'' he said.
Parker helped Bradley in landing athletic director Michael Cross and Geno Ford, hired as basketball coach this spring. Parker's list of recent engagements also included Tennessee coach Cuonzo Martin, plus hires at Oregon, Vanderbilt, Northern Illinois and the NCAA office.

All the awards and special appearances aside, the biggest surprise of the night had to be the bulge under the red gown being worn by Beyonce.
It's clearly early in her pregnancy, as the bump might have gone totally unnoticed--if she hadn't framed it with her hands, as in the photo that MTV tweeted.
When Beyonce took the stage later in the night to perform "Love on Top" she was wearing a purple sequined dinner jacket with a cummerbund that almost completely obscured the bump.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Beyonce was also on hand as a nominee, with her video for "Run the World (Girls)" up for three awards, Best Female Video, Best Choreography and Best Cinematography. The father-to-be, her husband Jay-Z, was there as well, making a "secret guest performance" with Kanye West of the single "Otis," from their album "Watch the Throne."
This will be the first child for the couple, who married on April 4, 2008, at his Tribeca loft.

Pennsylvania Homeowners File Class Action Against Saxon Mortgage Services, Inc. and Ocwen Mortgage Servicing, LLC for Wrongfully Denying Mortgage Modifications
Jul 21, 2011, 01:28 ET
PHILADELPHIA, July 21, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The law firms of Berger & Montague, P.C. and Ann Miller, LLC have filed a Class Action complaint in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania on behalf of all Pennsylvania homeowners whose mortgage loans have been serviced by Saxon Mortgage Services, Inc. and/or Ocwen Loan Servicing, LLC ("Defendants"), and who, since April 13, 2009, (1) have entered into a Trial Period Plan ("TPP") contract with Defendants and made all payments as required by their TPP contract and complied with Defendants' requests for documentation, and (2) have not received or have been denied a permanent Home Affordable Modification Agreement in accord with the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Home Affordable Modification Program ("HAMP") rules.
If you believe that you have been improperly denied a permanent loan modification by Saxon Mortgage Services, Inc. or Ocwen Loan Servicing, LLC after April 13, 2009, please contact Plaintiffs' counsel, Eric Lechtzin of Berger & Montague, P.C., at 888-891-2289 or 215-875-3000, or by e-mail at [email protected]. A copy of the Complaint can be viewed on the firm's website at www.bergermontague.com or may be requested from the Court. The docket number is 2:11-cv-04586-JP.
The Complaint alleges that Saxon Mortgage Services, Inc. and Ocwen Loan Servicing, LLC agreed to participate in HAMP. They are thus obligated to modify mortgage loans they service for homeowners who qualify under HAMP, a federal program designed to abate the foreclosure crisis by providing mortgage loan modifications to eligible homeowners. The lawsuit alleges that Defendants systematically slow or thwart homeowners' requests to modify mortgages in order to collect higher fees and interest rates associated with stressed home loans.
Members of the proposed Class applied for HAMP loan modifications from Defendants, were prequalified for the program, and received TPP contracts requiring them to make three modified loan payments and, if they had not already done so, to submit certain financial documentation.. Despite fulfilling these obligations under the TPP contracts with Defendants, they did not receive permanent HAMP modifications of their loans, nor did they receive timely written notifications explaining the reasons for Defendants' denials.

In some parts of the country, spring still feels far away. The snowfall in the Rockies, Plains and Dakotas is setting records and may not end until Friday. NBC's Brian Williams reports
A late-season storm that brought bands of heavy, wet snow to the Midwest and Plains states moved slowly eastward on Thursday.
Parts of southeastern and eastern Minnesota into western Wisconsin were expected to get more snow, the National Weather Service predicted. While about five inches of snow fell in Denver, Colo., other parts of the state got more than a foot. Parts of Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Wyoming also saw upwards of fifteen inches of unseasonable snow, the weather service reported.
Weather.com reported that the storm had "dumped up to 13 inches of snow in Owatonna, Minn.,where I-35 was closed early Thursday due to snow and downed power lines. Up to 14 inches of snow has been measured in Ellsworth, Wis."
Snowfall was expected to continue through the upper Midwestern states through Thursday night before dissipating on Friday, the weather service reported.
And up to nine inches had already fallen in Dodge County, Minn., on Thursday.
The snow looked ready to melt away fast after hitting the ground even in the areas that saw the most accumulation on Wednesday.
The unwelcome powder still managed to cause disturbances in towns and cities that had thought it was safe to put away their shovels and ice salt.
"This is a record for me," Brian Wagstrom, director of public works in Minnetonka, Minn., told NBC station KARE. "This is the latest that we have ever put plows on this time of the year."
Eric Johnson / Austin Daily Herald via AP
Mike Gregg trudges through the snow Thursday morning in Austin, Minn., to walk his dog Jake. Heavy, wet snow impacted driving and all-around travel abruptly interrupting spring.
"We are anticipating maybe 2 to 3 inches of slush on the roadways," Wagstrom added. "Depending upon the heat of the roadway, it might melt off."
Residents of Des Moines, Iowa, and even Kansas City, Mo., could get a last-minute visit from winter with some accumulation before the storm's over, according to weather.com.
Jim Eulberg, director of public works in the South Dakota town of Worthington, had to tell his crews to give up spring street sweeping and ready the plows.
"When you're looking at the calendar, you're thinking this is the stuff we should be doing. Not dealing with ice storm damage and plowing," Eulberg told NBC station KDLT.
Melt and move on, other residents of South Dakota said as 3 to 4 inches fell over Sioux Falls on Wednesday.
"It's May 1. We are supposed to be out delivering May baskets," Debbie Tams of Sioux Falls told KDLT as the city saw its first May snow in nearly four decades. "Not shoveling snow."

It's electronic, it's dirty but most of all it's got some amazing grooves. Put yourself in a state of Africa Hitech meets fLako and you're not far away.
"I've been building a modular synthesizer, which plays a prominent role on this album. It growls or screams when I don't expect it to. Nudging one dial changes the sound so drastically that I'll never get the original sound back. It's like improvising with another musician, and its voice is all over this music."
Jiaolong is apparently the name of a mythical Chinese sea monster and also the name of one of China's exploratory deep sea submarines. Dan has been experimenting with these dirtier sounds for a while but this is his first full album as Daphni.
"I've been recording for several months, starting different sketches of songs and different ideas. The general process for me making an album is to record loads and loads of raw material - bits of songs, a rhythmic element - and not really work on finishing any of them; just collect loads of half-finished ideas for six months, and come back later on and see what sticks."
The Jiaolong album is out for digital release on Merge on October 9th and the physical drop is a week later.

Catalytic converter thefts plague I-95 corridor
All along the Interstate 95 corridor, specialized criminals are crawling under cars, firing up electric saws and, within 30 seconds, making off with car parts containing precious metals to sell for scrap.
Since April, Darien police have been fielding complaints from commuters that the catalytic converter was stolen from their vehicles. Nine converters have been reported stolen since the end of April.
"It really hadn't been a problem in our area for the last two years," Darien Sgt. Jeremiah Marron said. "But I would say our area -- Fairfield County -- is getting hit every day in one town or another."
According to Lt. Kraig Gray, of the Greenwich Police Department, an increase in converter thefts possibly can be linked to the price of precious metals and that the frequency of the thefts "waxes and wanes."
"As salvage prices go up, so do these thefts," Gray said.
Catalytic converters have been required in all vehicles since 1975. Without the converters, vehicle engines often do not perform as well, are noticeably louder and release more polluted air into the atmosphere.
More InformationTo prevent catalytic converter theft, use common sense
and follow these tips from Nationwide Insurance:
Always park in well-lighted areas.
At shopping centers and other similar parking lots, park close to the entrance of the building or near the access road where there's a lot of traffic.
If you own or work at a business or factory, park within a fenced area that's busy during the day and secured at night.
Engrave your license plate number on the converter to make it traceable.
Purchase a vehicle security system and make sure it's set to trigger with just the slightest motion.
Visit a local muffler shop and have the converter secured to the vehicle's frame with a couple of pieces of hardened steel welded to the frame.
Check out the different types of catalytic converter theft deterrent systems at your local auto parts store or online.
A converter is an emissions-control device that has precious metals -- platinum, palladium, rhodium -- that act as catalysts. Platinum often is used as the catalyst for the converter, which reduces nitrogen oxides to nitrogen and oxygen, and oxidizes carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide and unburned hydrocarbons to carbon dioxide and water.
Since 2004, the price of an ounce of platinum has increased from an average of $845 to $1,437, according to the website of Kitco Metals, an international metal retailer. It reached its highest price in 2010 at $1,721 per ounce.
Palladium has increased from an average of $229 per ounce in 2004 to $778 per ounce in 2014, the highest price. Rhodium was priced at an average of $903 in 2004 and has since increased to $1,062 in 2014, with a peak in 2008 at an average price of $6,457.
There are only a few grams of precious metals in the converters.
The converters, Marron said, "go from $40 to $200 at scrap yards, depending on how new it is and how much of the precious metals are present."
Gray added, "This kind of theft is a very specialized type of theft."
It's not an opportunistic type of crime like stealing a purse from an unlocked car, Gray said. "These criminals specialize in these types of activity."
Wesport is experiencing similar thefts, according to Lt. Jillian Cabana.
"We happen to be having a burst right now," Cabana said. "There will be a crew out there and they'll target lots for a period of time, and either they'll get caught or they move on."
Thieves target vehicles that are higher off the ground that they can easily crawl under, such as trucks and SUVs. A majority of the converters stolen in Darien were from SUVs.
Catalytic converters range in price. One stolen in Darien was valued at $4,000, while another was only valued at $150.
A majority of the thefts in Darien have taken place in train station parking lots where criminals are able to "scout out" the cars, Gray said.
Metro-North Railroad does not investigate thefts of catalytic converters on the Connecticut side of the line because parking lots are owned by either the state or the towns or a private entity. Metro-North police officers will report damaged vehicles to local law enforcement and did for at least one Darien theft in 2014.
However, in New York, Metro-North owns a "healthy percentage" of the lots along the Metro-North line, according to Aaron Donovan, a Metro-North spokesman.
Metro-North does provide information to Connecticut police departments "to help support investigation they may be conducting," Donovan said.

" If you're looking for a outstanding dealership to buy a vehicle from this is the place. Was just on the Internet browsing their website and came across a few trucks that I like and I sent them a email within 30 seconds I received a phone call. I set up a test drive with the salesman when I got there I was greeted and he had the vehicles that I was looking at already pulled up to the front for me to take a look at. I fell in love with one of the trucks that I drove so by saying that I was ready to purchase it. There was no back-and-forth with them at all they were straight to the point they help me out in every way they could very easy and fast process on financing. I will be back in a few months to purchase my next vehicle from them because of how they treat it me. I will recommend this place to all of my friends and family. Thank you LSM for your service! "

Excellent customer service from Greg!
" Excellent customer service from Greg! No pressure to purchase. Perfect first car bought here for my daughter. We will definitely look here again when buying our next used car or truck! "
This is the dealership you need to see
" I went buy there yesterday Saturday) the 18th of August, to be greeted with their amazing staff. Greg was just the guy I needed to see. I asked him to show me truck options, mainly lifted. So he takes me to his lifted truck section where I almost fainted when I arrived there b'cause they have what other dealerships do not have. I felt like I was a little kid at a candy store looking at all these awesome variety of lifted trucks. I picked out a couple that I wanted to test drive, he immediately grabbed the keys, then we are on our way for an extended test drive. Both vehicles drove like a dream. Picked out the one I wanted to take home. We go to the business office where I was greeted with Mrs. Barbara, whom treated me family. Had my deal approved with the bank in minutes, at a very low interest rate and many term options. Over all, my payment was under what I was expecting it to be. I am extremely happy with lifted truck choice. I would very much refer my friends and family to Loan Star Motors. Quite frankly, I have never been treated like this before at any car or truck dealership. These guys here care who their customers are, they treat them integrity and respect. This is the dealership you need to see when considering a pre-owned or like new vehicles. "

They are amazing
" I want to start off and say this is a great place to purchase a vehicle. I came in looking for a pick up truck from me and my family to take on long trip and when the salesman Greg came out to greet me I told him what I was looking for and he showed me what they had and we where walking around and talking and he asked me what about a van and I told him I didn't think about that. So he showed me what they had in stock and showed me how much more room is in it when you hid the seats under the van I fell in love with it. So I told him I wanted it, he took me inside and in less than 10 minutes he had me approved for it.

I highly recommend anyone searching for a quality car and even more, somewhere that will treat you with respect and honesty!!!
" Over the past couple of years, we have had to replace a couple of vehicles for different reasons. Being new to TX, it was overwhelming due to the sheer number of choices. Thanks to the internet, preliminary searches were very easy. It was showing to to various places that was the deciding factor. After looking at Loan Star Motors online and looking at the vehicle, we decided to make the trip up from South Houston. From the time we arrived to the time we closed on the car, it was a first class experience. I highly recommend anyone searching for a quality car and even more, somewhere that will treat you with respect and honesty, Loan Star Motors is the place. Kudos to John for making this experience a pleasure and professional! Many Thanks. Houston, "
Loan Star Motors is the truly the place to go!!! This is where excellent customer service was born.
" Loan Star Motors is the truly the place to go!!! This is where excellent customer service was born. It is one of the best dealerships I've been to and trust me, I have dealt with all types of dealerships from Austin, Dallas, Houston, Port Arthur, etc. John, Josh and Nick are the real deal. They are friendly, professional guys willing to go the extra mile to ensure you get the car you deserve. Two weeks ago, I purchased a 2005 Black Acura RL from these guys and I have fallen in love with it. The car is beautiful and runs smoothly. From the moment I walked through the door to test drive the car until the moment I drove away in my car, they were there for me. Answering their cell phones immediately if I had a question even after I purchased the car. Let me tell you how good of hands you will be in if you go to Loan Star Motors. Literally 10 minutes after I had signed the paperwork and I was getting in my car to drive off for good, my back windows would not roll down, I was like "OMG, I can't believe this is happening! Immediately, I jump out the car, let John know, which at this point was no longer his responsibility, but he takes a look at it anyway and makes a promise to me that he will get his technician to fix it. Needless to say, it turns out that the back windows were not broke; it was just a setting within the car that needed to be reset, but before John even knew that, he was already on the phone ordering a part to get it fixed. Stand-up guys, right! What was also pleasant about this place is they specialize in loans so they can help you get really great APR's without you doing any of the work. Let me tell you America, don't let the size of Loan Star Motors fool ya, they are a small dealership, but they beat out a big-time dealership any day. The point to all of this is get out to Loan Star Motors, talk with these guys, look at the inventory, tell them your expectations and let 'em do the rest. You're in great hands. Period-end of story. Thanks John, Josh and Nick for everything! Cheers to the continued success of Loan Star Motors : ) Amazing USED CAR DEALER in Humble, "
A++ Service both before and after the sale. We'll definately be returning for our next vehicle.
" When I first called about a truck advertised online John wanted to check to see if he still had that vehicle. He told me it had already sold. Other places would say "We have it come on down" and later tell you it just sold after you arrived. John told us he had other similar vehicles and would love for us to stop by and take a look at those to see if that might fit our budget and needs.After arriving and looking at the inventory we found something that would work but, we didn't want to stop there.We later came back and took a second look and fell in love with the vehicle. The service you receive after the sale is top notch. This is the first dealership that I have used that will actually install your plates for you when they come in. Not just hand them to you and say "See ya!". The wiper blades messed up a week after we purchased the vehicle and John said don't worry about it, I'll find out what's wrong order the part and have that fixed for you. Again, after the sale was complete. A++ Service both before and after the sale. We'll definately be returning for our next vehicle. Thanks John, Josh and Nick for your help and assistance both before and after the sale, one of the best CAR DEALERSHIPS in Houston, TX. "

D-backs pull off stunner with ninth-inning comeback
Hill goes 4-for-5, highlights five-run frame with go-ahead triple
CHICAGO -- When Martin Prado's ninth-inning grounder up the middle hit the second base bag and kicked into shallow right to score a pair of runs, the D-backs players had the same reaction.
"Holy cow, we got a break. Wow," starting pitcher Wade Miley said of what went through his mind. "Everybody was like, in shock."
The break helped the D-backs rally for five runs in the ninth to beat the Cubs, 7-5, on Wednesday afternoon at Wrigley Field.
"That was a weird inning," Cubs manager Rick Renteria said. "I've never seen a ball hit the corner of the bag on the ground ball. That's a first for me."
The beleaguered D-backs have struggled through a miserable start to their season. They entered Wednesday with a Major League-worst 5-18 record and a four-game losing streak. When the ninth inning rolled around, they were trailing, 5-2, and faced the prospect of their 11th loss in 12 games.
Cubs reliever Pedro Strop, though, could not find the strike zone, walking a pair of hitters, and shortstop Starlin Castro committed an error between walks to load the bases with one out.
It looked like the Cubs might get out of the jam when Gerardo Parra struck out after a 10-pitch at-bat that saw him foul off five two-strike pitches.
"GP, unbelievable at-bat," Miley said.
But in a season that's been filled with the breaks going against them, fortune finally smiled on the D-backs.
Prado's grounder up the middle eluded Strop's glove, and before one of the middle infielders could nab it, it hit second base and kicked into right field, allowing two runs to score and it cut the Chicago lead to 5-4.
"I think [second baseman Darwin] Barney would have got it," D-backs manager Kirk Gibson said. "We probably would have got one run out of it. Instead, it lets the guys advance another base and [Miguel Montero] gets the big hit."
"Baseball is a tricky game," Prado said. "That's the beauty about not losing the faith that something good might happen at any time in the game."
After Strop struck out Paul Goldschmidt, Renteria brought the left-handed James Russell on to face lefty Montero.
Montero took a huge cut at a first-pitch fastball from Russell and missed badly. But the catcher recovered and on the seventh pitch of the at-bat, he lined a single to right to score pinch-runner A.J. Pollock and tie the game.
"I was looking for a fastball and he gave me a fastball, and I took a little bit of a big swing -- probably a little too big," Montero said. "After that, I just tried to shorten up my swing a little bit and hit it the other way actually.
"Finally, we got something to go our way. We finally got something that gave us a little bit of a sign and hope and we took advantage. It was a great comeback and we battled. The ninth inning, we battled every at-bat, everybody put good at-bats together and we capitalized."
Aaron Hill followed Montero's hit with a blooper down the right-field line that barely stayed fair and landed out of the reach of Justin Ruggiano. The hit, Hill's fourth of the day, scored a pair of runs to put the D-backs up, 7-5.
"Give them credit for battling back," Gibson said. "Miggy had a huge at-bat when they brought the lefty in against him. The win feels very good."
When you've struggled like the D-backs have this year, you look for and hang on tightly to any manner of hope. Now that they got a couple of breaks in the ninth and cashed them in, they want to keep it going.
"For us to get them, it's great," Miley said. "Anything can happen now."
With the historic ballpark celebrating the 100th anniversary of the first game ever played there, the two teams wore throwback uniforms, with the Cubs wearing Chicago Federals jerseys and the D-backs wearing Kansas City Packers attire.
The D-backs may not want to go back to their old threads after this one.
Miley did not pitch particularly well, as his lack of command caused his pitch count to rise quickly, and he was removed from the game with two runs in and no outs in the sixth with the Cubs up, 5-2.
"I'm at 90 pitches in the fifth inning again," Miley said. "That really can't happen, and as a group, we've got to get past that. But the offense did an unbelievable job. Miggy told me when I was coming out, he said, 'We're going to take care of this, we're going to pick you up,' and they did. It's a good feeling."
Those kinds of feelings have been few and far between for the D-backs this year.
"I'm just hoping from this point on, good things start happening for us," Prado said. "I know it's disappointing the way that we started the season, but we might turn it around from now on."

|Application Specific
|Application / Business Specific
|Consider anyone who can trick your users into submitting a request to your website. Any website or other HTML feed that your users access could do this.
|Attacker creates forged HTTP requests and tricks a victim into submitting them via image tags, XSS, or numerous other techniques. If the user is authenticated, the attack succeeds.
|CSRF takes advantage of web applications that allow attackers to predict all the details of a particular action.
Since browsers send credentials like session cookies automatically, attackers can create malicious web pages which generate forged requests that are indistinguishable from legitimate ones.
Detection of CSRF flaws is fairly easy via penetration testing or code analysis.
|Attackers can cause victims to change any data the victim is allowed to change or perform any function the victim is authorized to use
|Consider the business value of the affected data or application functions. Imagine not being sure if users intended to take these actions.
Consider the impact to your reputation.
Am I Vulnerable To 'Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)'?
The easiest way to check whether an application is vulnerable is to see if each link and form contains an unpredictable token for each user. Without such an unpredictable token, attackers can forge malicious requests. Focus on the links and forms that invoke state-changing functions, since those are the most important CSRF targets.
You should check multi-step transactions, as they are not inherently immune. Attackers can easily forge a series of requests by using multiple tags or possibly JavaScript.
Note that session cookies, source IP addresses, and other information that is automatically sent by the browser doesn't count since this information is also included in forged requests.
OWASP's CSRF Tester tool can help generate test cases to demonstrate the dangers of CSRF flaws.
How Do I Prevent 'Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)'?
Preventing CSRF requires the inclusion of an unpredictable token in the body or URL of each HTTP request. Such tokens should at a minimum be unique per user session, but can also be unique per request.
OWASP's CSRF Guard can be used to automatically include such tokens in your Java EE, .NET, or PHP application. OWASP's ESAPI includes token generators and validators that developers can use to protect their transactions.
Example Attack Scenarios
The application allows a user to submit a state changing request that does not include anything secret. Like so:
So, the attacker constructs a request that will transfer money from the victim's account to their account, and then embeds this attack in an image request or iframe stored on various sites under the attacker's control.
<img src="http://example.com/app/transferFunds?amount=1500&destinationAccount=attackersAcct#" width="0" height="0" />
If the victim visits any of these sites while already authenticated to example.com, any forged requests will include the user's session info, inadvertently authorizing the request.

Identity Authentication at the Border
In order to facilitate interoperability across countries, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) set global standards for ePassports. Since the ePassport contains sensitive personal information, the security and integrity of the ePassport are critical.
Interoperable, scalable and validated by third-party testing, Entrust ePassport solutions provide the necessary capabilities — whether via a hosted or in-house model — for the proper issuance and inspection of today's advanced ePassports.
Based on trusted public key infrastructure (PKI) technology, Entrust provides solutions for first- and second-generation ePassports. In fact, ePassport technology is based on two current standards: Basic Access Control (BAC) and Extended Access Control (EAC).
Entrust has two specific ePassport security solutions: Country Signing Solution (also known as BAC) and Country Verifying Solution (also known as EAC).
By managing the full lifecycles of certificate-based digital identities, Entrust Authority PKI serves as the core of Entrust's ePassport solution. Entrust's proven PKI enables encryption, digital signature and authentication capabilities to be consistently and transparently applied across a broad range of applications and platforms.
Read the Data Sheet Read about nPKD
Whether for simple BAC ePassports or a more advanced EAC framework, Entrust provides the proven solutions to properly and securely issue ePassports for multimillion-user populations.
Entrust is a pioneer of PKI technology, which serves as the backbone for securing sensitive information on today's ePassports. And Entrust is one of the few vendors capable of handling the scale, complexity and reliability demanded by the EAC framework.
Advanced ePassport travel documents aren't effective unless properly inspected. Entrust provides the necessary components for proper document inspection — from a single, proven vendor — and can include integration with both the ICAO PKD as well as domestic no-fly lists.
By leveraging proven hosted or in-house public key infrastructure (PKI) technology, Entrust provides border control agencies the ability to properly read and verify first- and second-generation eMRTDs. For organizations who opt for the hosted service, this approach simplifies deployment by removing the need for dedicated hardware, facilities and expertise.
In development by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), Master List Signing is a simple method to reduce expensive, time-consuming duplication that exists in the current ePassport verification process.
To help reduce costs and streamline electronic machine-readable travel document (eMRTD) inspection procedures, Entrust provides unique capabilities that enable countries to efficiently manage the Master List Signing process.
