Sunday 07.07.13 - 16:30 - Odeon
John Grant guested Roskilde Festival 2011 in the wake of his breakthrough album, Queen of Denmark, treating his audience with intimate piano version of his 70'es-esque ballads. On his new album Pale Green Ghosts this brutally honest bohemian has directed his gaze at the 80es and electronic music without abandoning his heartbreaking song craft. The former lead singer of long-overlooked The Czars enjoys an uplifting momentum these days, making him a likely candidate to a larger stage this time around.

Finding Which RPM Package Contains a File
To search a list of RPM files for a particular file, execute the following command:
$ ls RPMS-TO-SEARCH | \ xargs rpm --query --filesbypkg --package | \ grep FILE-TO-SEARCH-FOR
Replace RPMS-TO-SEARCH with the names of the RPM files to search, and replace FILE-TO-SEARCH-FOR with the name of the file to search for. The --filesbypkg option tells the rpm command to output the name of the package as well as the name of the file.
Correction for "Another way"
D**n... Missed the stated intent of searching uninstalled packages.
The "--whatprovides" switch naturally only searches packages already installed on the system, not the package files.
Sorry for that.
Another way to find the file.
Or You could just use RPM's database.
rpm -q --whatprovides FILES_TO_SEARCH_FOR
Other Usefull rpm commands
Same as:
rpm -qlp RPMS-TO-SEARCH | \
grep FILE-TO-SEARCH-FOR
q - query
l - list files
p - packages
Good ones are:
1. Find the rpm which FILE (path/filename) belongs to
rpm -qf FILE
2. Verify rpm files (changes, MD5, permissions, owner, ...)
rpm -qV RPM_PACKAGE_NAME
3. List packages ordered by SIZE
rpm -qa --qf "%{SIZE} %{NAME}\n" | sort -n
4. Repackage OLD files (make rollback rpm) when upgrading an rpm
rpm --repackage -Uvh NEW_RPM_PACKAGE
rpm -qlp RPMS-TO-SEARCH |
rpm -qlp RPMS-TO-SEARCH | grep FILE-TO-SEARCH-FOR will tell you the file name, the directory it will be installed on, and that there is a package containing it, but won't tell you which package is.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

First, a thousand thank yous to Carolyn who sent me this link. I have read many articles about how to support a friend in trouble, and even written a few that attempted to make good suggestions. This is the best. Susan Silk has developed a simple system for how to support your friend and how to take care of yourself. She calls it the "RIng Theory" and the basic plan is: Support In, Dump Out. That will make sense when you read it.
I think we might all do well to Xerox many copies of this article from the L A Times and be ready to distribute them to our friends--ideally before a major faux pas is delivered, but most certainly afterwards. Here is the beginning and then a link. This is a treat and a brilliant concept. Read it.
How not to say the wrong thing
When Susan had breast cancer, we heard a lot of lame remarks, but our favorite came from one of Susan's colleagues. She wanted, she needed, to visit Susan after the surgery, but Susan didn't feel like having visitors, and she said so. Her colleague's response? "This isn't just about you."
"It's not?" Susan wondered. "My breast cancer is not about me? It's about you?"
The same theme came up again when our friend Katie had a brain aneurysm. She was in intensive care for a long time and finally got out and into a step-down unit. She was no longer covered with tubes and lines and monitors, but she was still in rough shape. A friend came and saw her and then stepped into the hall with Katie's husband, Pat. "I wasn't prepared for this," she told him. "I don't know if I can handle it."
This woman loves Katie, and she said what she did because the sight of Katie in this condition moved her so deeply. But it was the wrong thing to say. And it was wrong in the same way Susan's colleague's remark was wrong.
Susan has since developed a simple technique to help people avoid this mistake. It works for all kinds of crises: medical, legal, financial, romantic, even existential. She calls it the Ring Theory.

J.C. Penney shelves the Big Book
Distributing a huge catalog no longer makes sense in the Internet world.
J.C. Penney's fall/winter Big Book is the last of its kind, as the once robust publication joins the Sears Roebuck & Co. catalog in the big recycling bin in the sky.
- Bing: Vintage Sears catalogs
"The Internet has made the 1,000-page shopping venue obsolete, and printing and transportation costs have been rising annually. The move also improves Penney's environmental footprint, reducing its catalog paper use by 30% next year," The Dallas Morning News reports. (These are truths that keep newspaper publishers awake at night.)
Much slimmer catalogs will still be mailed to targeted audiences, but their aim will be to direct people to Penney stores or to jcp.com, rather than pick up the phone and place an order.
Big catalogs, thicker and heavier than the phone book in most towns, have a warm and fuzzy place in many people's personal histories, the Morning News observes.
The arrival of a big book from Sears, Penney, Montgomery Ward or Spiegel were big events, especially the fall and winter books because they were studied long and hard to come up with Christmas wish lists.
The Sears catalog's glorious 106-year run came to an end in 1993. Fans of that catalog can read a detailed chronology -- electric washing machines were introduced in 1910, Craftsman tools first appeared in 1928 -- at this Sears Archives Web site.
Spiegel has changed ownership several times in recent years, and the defunct Montomery Ward catalog was revived earlier this year as a marketing gimmick of sorts.
According to The Dallas Morning News, Penney's catalog sales peaked in 1999 at $4 billion. Its formerly mighty circulation of 14 million had shrunk to 9 million when the final edition came out.

Why Beauty Matters
AbstractWe decompose the beauty premium in an experimental labor market where "employers" determine wages of "workers" who perform a maze-solving task. This task requires a true skill which we show to be unaffected by physical attractiveness. We find a sizable beauty premium and can identify three transmission channels: (a) physically attractive workers are more confident and higher confidence increases wages; (b) for a given level of confidence, physically attractive workers are (wrongly) considered more able by employers; (c) controlling for worker confidence, physically attractive workers have oral skills (such as communication and social skills) that raise their wages when they interact with employers. Our methodology can be adopted to study the sources of discriminatory pay differentials in other settings.

Hi, I'm Jaden, a professional recipe developer, food columnist and food photographer specializing in fast, fresh and easy recipes for the home cook. Most of my recipes are modern Asian! About meFast, fresh & easy recipes for the home cook.
Saturday, August 1, 2009
Hello guys! It's a gorgeous Saturday morning and I'm off to go do stuff with the family. Like go to the new, massive Ikea mega-store in town. This trip will be a fight, I know. Because last time we went, I told the kids that Ikea was an amusement park.
Which isn't too far from the truth.
Because there's a long line of cars waiting to snake into the parking lot and hoards of men, women, children and babies who are all in this amaze-daze…"wow! shiny! new! must! buy!"
I swear they pump some kind of hypnotic hoo-hoo through the vents.
But after that first time of trying to fool the kids into going shopping at Ikea (and they hated it) I don't think the same trick will work today. I'm going to have to dig deep into my bag of tricks and just bribe them to behave during our trek with hard, cold cash. Thank goodess they are still at the age where they think a dollar bill is big bucks.
Anyways, who won the 2 signed cookbooks by Martin Yan? Well according to the random goddesses that preside over at whoever runs Random.org, the two winners are:
#86 and number #155
Crazy Cake Lady said: "Just happened upon your awesome blog and stopped in my tracks when I recognized Martin Yan. I LOVED watching Yan Can Cook when I was young, especially since he was one of the very few (like three)Asian personalities on TV at the time. IMO, Martin Yan deserves the 99.9% of the credit for bringing Asian cooking into mainstream America. He should have statue somewhere "
Richard Fernandez said: "Jaden, Loved you column and was intrigued by Martin�s recipe. I was going to make a paella out on my grill Sunday afternoon, but opted to make this recipe. It was fabulous. I also enjoy two of your recipes, the Korean style pulled pork and the thai chicken lettuce cups. Can�t wait for you cook book to hit the stores. I'm also a Tampa Tribune subscriber of many years."
Congrats guys – email me ([email protected]) your address!
Does your IKEA have Sm�land? I don't remember the age requirements, and I think they only let you leave your kids for an hour, but my kids are excited to go now.
Of course, they already liked getting to go to IKEA Jr. and climbing on all the bunks and lofts. *sheepish grin*
Yippee!!!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
BTW, I love walking through Ikea, it's great inpiration.

About Vitol:Val Vasilef is an award-winning bodybuilder and Mr. America winner. He has been honored by his home state for achieving unmatched weightlifting and bodybuilding records. In addition to his physical pursuits, Val studied nutrition and sports science, and earned a doctorate in naturopathy. This knowledge came in handy when the usually well-bulked bodybuilder lost weight and muscle. His uncharacteristic slimness occurred after starring in his own TV series left him less time to concentrate on fitness."I watched in horror as my muscular body got skinnier, and my mass and density took a hike," he says. "I tried to overcome my muscle loss by training harder. I frantically searched for info on bodybuilding products in magazines, hoping to stop my weight loss."
Val tried bodybuilding products that claimed to pack on muscle immediately - but none worked. His wife, Susan, a Miss World Physical Fitness winner and commentator on the show, says the audience was starting to notice, too. "They were asking, what happened to Val's muscles?" she says.
Down to 175 pounds from his once-muscular, 215-pound body, Val had lost more than 40 pounds of muscle. "I was fed up with worthless programs and muscle-building products that did nothing but waste my time and drain my pockets," he recalls. "But I had made worldwide contacts in musclebuilding resources." These included hi-tech Russian researchers, U.S. world champs and of course, the wisdom of his Uncle John, the "Russian Bear." Val succeeded in designing a powerful musclebuilding system for weightlifters, bodybuilders and athletes. With the Russian Bear system, Val's weight soon climbed back to 215 pounds of hard muscle mass. "I constantly had to defend myself at the gym. People couldn't believe my muscle gains were completely natural, without steroids," he says. "Everyone wanted to know what I was taking."

Unpredictable winds led to some close calls at Balloon Fiesta on Saturday morning.
Balloon pilots found themselves flying on a picture perfect day mixed with less than perfect wind patterns.
A 13-year veteran pilot told KOB Eyewitness News 4 he relied on the good graces of strangers to help him land.
"You know, like two-thirds of the people who helped here were just bystanders," pilot Rick James said.
He confirmed exactly what balloon watchers witnessed over and over again: Close calls with power lines in the middle of the North Valley and overshot landings in large open land or parking lots just north of I-40.
"We had a good line on a couple of fields, and right as we got to them, we just got swept off, you know, to one side or the other," James said.
While it wasn't exactly an easy day, pilots said it was an opportunity to prove that the beauty of a weekend experience like this is worth the sacrifice.

In a bowl, combine oats and shredded coconut with 1 1/2 cups water and refrigerate overnight.
Transfer mixture to a saucepan and add milk, cinnamon, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, until creamy, about 12 minutes. Remove from heat, stir, and cover.
Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat and saute nectarines until golden, 1 to 2 minutes, before stirring in syrup.
Divide oats between two bowls and top with nectarines and coconut flakes. Drizzle with additional syrup, if desired.
This recipe is delicious! I'm generally not fond of coconut, but it's not overwhelming in this dish. I've made it several times. It's become one of my favorite ways to start the day. Super Yummy!Reply
This recipe is awesome! I made the almond milk that is included in the magazine and iPad emag and love it. The oats and coconut is so creamy and then the nectarines caramelize and make the dish so fabulous. I can see using peaches or plums as well. I also love the maple syrup touch.Reply

50 Cent's Custom Made Nintendo DS
Posted by Oscar M. Cantu Categories: Video Games
In other related 50 Cent video game gossip - feast your eyes on the rapper's customized Nintendo DS. Apparently 50 Cent wasn't feeling the silver bling of Nintendo's portable console, and settling for a Nintendo DS skin certainly wouldn't be P.I.M.P. The result is a custom made urban camouflaged Nintendo DS that has "G-Unit" emblazoned on the front cover. Now that's gangsta!

Mona Charen is a syndicated columnist and political analyst living in the Washington, D.C., area.
Mona Charen received her undergraduate degree at Barnard College, Columbia University, with honors. Mona Charen also holds a degree in law from George Washington University.
Mona Charen began her career at National Review magazine, where Mona Charen served as editorial assistant. On her first tax return at the age of 22, Mona Charen listed her occupation as "pundit," explaining later, "You have to think big."
In 1984, Mona Charen joined the White House staff, serving first as Nancy Reagan's speechwriter and later as associate director of the Office of Public Liaison. In the latter post, Mona Charen lectured widely on the administration's Central America policy. Later in Mona Charen's White House career, Mona Charen worked in the Public Affairs office helping to craft the president's overall communications strategy.
In 1986, Mona Charen left the White House to join the presidential quest of then-Congressman Jack Kemp as a speechwriter.
Mona Charen launched her syndicated column in 1987, and it has become one of the fastest-growing columns in the industry. It is featured in more than 200 papers, including the Boston Globe, Baltimore Sun, St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Atlanta Journal-Constitution, and The Washington Times. Mona Charen spent six years as a regular commentator on CNN's "Capital Gang" and "Capital Gang Sunday," and has served as a judge of the Pulitzer Prizes. Mona Charen is the author of two best sellers: "Useful Idiots: How Liberals Got it Wrong in the Cold War and Still Blame America First" (2003), and "Do-Gooders: How Liberals Harm Those They Claim to Help -- and the Rest of Us" (2005).
Mona Charen is a frequent guest on television and radio public affairs programs and is married with three children.
The median American household saw its net worth decline by 36 percent during the Great Recession. That is a hard reality.
The image of Adrian Peterson's son's legs has ignited a welcome cultural conversation. This is unusual. Most of these contrived "conversations" are efforts to take one headline and shoehorn it into a narrative that liberals want to advance, usually about race and racism. Those "conversations" are never truthful.
The long-running debacle over the Eisenhower Memorial in Washington, D.C., is a textbook case of corruption.
"Oh, it's a shame when you have a wan, diffident, professorial president with no foreign policy other than 'don't do stupid things.'" So griped President Obama to a select (and loose-lipped) group of dinner guests the other night.
NBC's Chuck Todd got a good deal of attention for warning that "(Obama's) on the precipice of doing Jimmy Carter-like damage to the Democratic brand on foreign policy."
It has been over a month since Michael Brown was shot and killed in Ferguson, Mo., and we have yet to hear the police officer's version of events. Was Officer Darren Wilson badly injured in his scuffle with Brown? Did Brown attempt to seize the officer's weapon? Did Wilson have reason to fear for his own life?
The clearest expression of a foreign policy doctrine President Obama has articulated came in 2012 when he announced that the "tide of war in Afghanistan" had "turned" and that this was lucky because it was "now time to focus on nation building here at home."
For the past half-century, and particularly since the 1983 "Nation at Risk" report, Americans have been heaving great sacks of money at schools.
The unsinkable Charles B. Rangel appeared on C-SPAN over the weekend. Why unsinkable? Well, the House of Representatives censured the New York Democrat in 2010 by a vote of 333 to 79 (when the body was still majority Democrat) for violating 11 ethics rules and "bringing discredit to the House." The New York Times called it a "staggering fall" for the senior Democrat. But fall-schmall, he's since been reelected and will retire at his leisure.
It's a theme this president sounded in his first inaugural address, warning that "those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent" are "on the wrong side of history." He returned to it in his remarks (bracketed by golf outings) about the horrific murder of James Foley.
The Ferguson, Missouri police department released convenience store surveillance tape that showed Michael Brown allegedly stealing some cigars minutes before he was shot by a police officer. Aware that the release of this footage might look like posthumous character assassination of the shooting victim, Captain Ronald Johnson of the Ferguson police explained that the tape was released pursuant to freedom of information requests.
The United Nations plays a supporting role in every war between Hamas and Israel.
"Meet the Press" featured a segment this week that illustrates the planted liberal axioms that dominate our political culture. The topic was Congress's failure to "get anything done" this term.
Last week, The Washington Post's Tehran, Iran, correspondent was arrested. The charges are unspecified, but according to the paper, Jason Rezaian, 38; his Iranian wife, Yeganeh Salehi; and two other U.S. citizens were detained. State Department spokesman Marie Harf issued a protest that didn't even rise to the level of tepid, saying "Our highest priority is the safety and welfare of U.S. citizens abroad."
In the last several weeks, I've heard people confidently declare that the 70 percent of Jewish Americans who voted for Obama are finally sorry.
Hamas, with perhaps unwitting help from President Barack Obama, is achieving its war aim: to legitimize Islamic supremacism and Jew-hatred, and take it global. Jews are no longer safe in Europe or even in some places in the U.S.
The bodies of 298 passengers and crew of Malaysia Air Flight 17, 80 of them children, lie unburied in a Ukrainian field while Vladimir Putin's men fire their weapons into the air to keep international investigators from approaching the site.
You needn't be clairvoyant to deduce what the Democratic Party wants to run on in 2016. It really doesn't matter whether their nominee is Hillary Clinton or someone else.
"The heartlessness and nativist pandering that have broken America's immigration system must give way to providing proper food, clothing, shelter and medical care to the Central American children streaming into the country," so pronounced the editors of the New York Daily News.
Two University of Miami football players have been arrested and dismissed from the university after being criminally charged with sexual battery on a 17-year-old girl. According to ESPN, the two admitted to buying drinks for the girl and then bringing her back to a dorm room where they engaged in nonconsensual sex acts with her.

Earlier Electric Motors run at one speed for heating and another speed for cooling and sometimes a third speed for two-stage systems. This speed limitation meant the motors would run at full load amp draw all the time, even during off-demand cycles for the heating/cooling systems. In addition to using more energy, the limitations on speed control meant the fan noise levels from the heating/cooling systems were higher as the motors were always running on high speed. Hvacplus.com displays the variety of ECM GE Motors which shows a great efficiency in work and it saves the inventory of the consumer. It has many characteristics shown below:• New GE Variable Speed ECM Motor Technology The new family of ECM motors offers many possibilities for integrating new capabilities into all types of air moving and air handling products. Their wide speed range, high efficiency and programmability give them a virtually unlimited range of performance characteristics. The new ECM motors by GE offer many benefits and features, some of them are: • Programmable ECM Motor Controls Programming options for the ECM 2.3 motors include; rotation direction, start/stop ramp rates, on/off blower delays and many other functions all stored in the motor's microprocessor. • Ultra-High Efficiency At full load the ECM motor is 20% more efficient than a standard induction motor. When running at lower speeds, such as airflow in off-demand mode in an air handler, the ECM motors use up to 50% less energy than induction motors. In addition, the permanent magnet, DC design allows the ECM Motors to maintain its efficiency over its wide speed range. • ECM Dual-Voltage The 1/3, 1/2, 3/4, & 1 Hp motors can be used for 120v or 230 volt applications. There is also a separate model for 277-volt applications.

The ECM motor is now one of the most important types of motor for use in residential HVAC systems. You can buy ECM GE motor models for gas furnaces, oil furnaces and air handlers from many of today's leading HVAC brands.
How an ECM GE Motor is Different
The abbreviation ECM stands for electronically commutated motor, and GE has been a leader in the field of ECM motors since the very beginning. ECM motors use less energy because the amps they are consuming at any one time is adjusted to meet the performance demands of the motor. If, for example, it is a variable-speed motor running on low output capacity, it will use less energy than when running at full capacity. it might surprise some, but motors didn't always do this. For decades, furnace motors would run at full amps all the time regardless of the function they were performing at the time.
These innovative, energy-efficient motors are becoming very popular as homeowners and business owners look for practical ways to reduce both energy use and energy costs. HVAC pros buy ECM GE motor parts and assemblies for replacements, giving their customers an attractive option to energy-wasting standard blower motors.
A second advantage of GE ECM motors is that they run more quietly when not using as much energy. Running on low capacity to support the first stage of a two-stage furnace or heat pump will make significantly less noise than when running at full capacity.
Where GE ECM Motors are Used
ECM motors are now widely used in furnaces, air handlers, large AHUs and ventilators. All of the leading HVAC brands use ECM motors in their components. These brands include Trane, Carrier, Bryant, Heil, Rheem, Lennox, Amana and York.
In a furnace or air handler supporting a heat pump, a GE ECM motor will reduce energy and noise. A variable-speed blower motor will adjust speed to support a modulating or two-stage furnace, air conditioner or heat pump. The output of the motor will match that of the other component in order to maximize climate control and comfort. Multispeed and single-speed GE ECM motors are also produced.
When you want quality and performance, buy ECM GE motor assemblies and parts from HVAC Plus. We carry a complete line of replacement motors that will provide a universal fit to a vast array of HVAC components. When you buy ECM GE motor assemblies from us, you'll also enjoy some of the lowest prices found online or from local suppliers. We're here to help you succeed, so place your order today, and it will be promptly be on its way.

How to create a custom home page + login form
I have created a template page and added the buddypress login html form that can be found on sidebar.php. The template page includes some text explaining what the network is about and the login form. I have made the page full width and excluded the sidebar from that page. Everything works well with members being able to login with that form but once they are logged in, that page (I've set it as the home page on the dashboard settings) is still visible including the form when they browse to "home".
Is their anyway that the template page I have created is not visible any more once a member has logged in? In simpler terms, is their a way once a member is logged in through that page that the "home" page is the activity stream?
You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

Antony Lerman's End of Liberal ZionismAugust 23, 2014 at 9:59 pm
In the category of vile anti-Israel articles, Antony Lerman's "The End of Liberal Zionism" deserves some kind of award. He writes:
No. It wasn't Mr. Netanyahu's decision — which in any event was a decision not made only by Mr. Netanyahu, but by Israel's security cabinet — to launch a military campaign that cost the Israeli lives. It was Hamas's decision to attack Israel from tunnels and with rockets.
He writes:
The following paragraph appeared on the front page of Saturday's Times, in an article headlined, "Blood Industry Shrinks as Transfusions Decline":
It's not clear, to this reader, at least, what the sentence means. Is the Times trying to tell us that blood bank revenue has declined to $1.5 billion this year from $5 billion in 2008? Or is the Times trying to tell us that blood bank revenue declined $5 billion in 2008 from 2007, and will decline $1.5 billion this year from the year before? Or is the Times trying to tell us that blood bank revenue this year will be $3.5 billion, down from $5 billion in 2008?
A dispatch from Illinois about the Olmsted Locks and Dam on the Ohio River reports that it was "first authorized by Congress in 1988 at a cost of $775 million" and is "now scheduled to be completed in 2020 at a cost approaching $3 billion."
The U.S. government's consumer price index inflation calculator indicates that $775 million in 1988 dollars are about $1.56 billion in 2014 dollars. The calculator doesn't run to 2020, but by then even more of the story won't be typically scandalous government cost overruns, but the erosion of the value of the dollar.
A front-page news article in today's New York Times appears under the headline "Cities Rocked by Past Unrest Offer Lessons." It offers lessons for Ferguson, Mo. from "other cities that endured similar violence." It names "Cincinnati, Oakland, Los Angeles" and Miami and talks about responding to riots and restoring calm. Strangely — bizarrely, actually, the Times omits any mention of New York.
There was a race riot — a pogrom, actually — in Crown Heights, Brooklyn in 1991, which you'd think a newspaper based in New York City might, you know, think about maybe mentioning in a news article about how to respond to an urban riot. The efforts since then to improve relations between the black and Jewish communities in Crown Heights might actually have some lessons for Ferguson.
Times Sells Marilyn Monroe Nude PhotosAugust 15, 2014 at 3:15 pm
The "New York Times Store" is featuring "rarely seen" and "truly historic" photographs of a naked Marilyn Monroe for $3,000 and $1,500 (more if you want it framed). It's not clear how this fits with the Times Company's stated core mission of "creating, collecting, and distributing high-quality news and information." A front-of-the business section Times news article — "Risque Promotion Prompts Outcry From Land's End Customers" — this week went after Land's End for a marketing deal with GQ, which was featuring photographs of scantily clad women, but Land's End wasn't trying to sell the pictures for $3,000 or billing them as "truly historic."
Maureen Dowd's column today refers to Hillary Clinton's interview with "Jeffrey Goldberg, a hawk, of The Atlantic."
I guess by Ms. Dowd's standards a "hawk" is someone like Jeff, who wants to dismantle many of Israel's West Bank settlements and to ease U.S. sanctions on Castro's Cuba.
Reader-participant-watchdog-community member-content co-creator Colin G. writes:
In the midst of the front-page New York Times news article about the death of actor and comedian Robin Williams comes this:
From the you-can't-make-it-up department: A post in the Fashion and Style section reports:
I guess the Times figures that if it's losing Jewish readers over its Middle East coverage it might as well pick up some Muslims to make up for them. We're waiting for the equivalent feature on yarmulkes.
Dave Barry on Pamela DruckermanAugust 11, 2014 at 12:02 pm
Dave Barry has a deft takedown of a New York Times essay about Miami.
From today's New York Times editorial, the latest in a series calling for the legalization of marijuana:
No wonder the Times favors marijuana legalization. It creates the opportunity to raise taxes, an opportunity that for the Times editorial writers trumps any other policy objective. To the sixteen other tax increases previously supported by the Times editorial column (one of the services we provide here is keeping track of them), now add a seventeenth: an inflation-indexed tax on marijuana potency.
Inheritance and Climate ChangeAugust 3, 2014 at 10:16 pm
In the business section of Saturday's Times was a "wealth matters" column on the topic of parents talking (or not talking) to children about an inheritance. It included this passage:
It's the second time in less than a month that a Times business section columnist, reporter, or editor has injected a global warming reference into a story that has nothing to do with the topic.
Religious Conservatives and PollutionJuly 31, 2014 at 1:06 pm
Obama for America 2012 campaign speechwriter turned New York Times Washington bureau reporting intern Theodore Schleifer has an article in the Times that runs under the headline "Religious Conservatives Embrace Pollution Fight." It includes this sentence:
A Times dispatch from Kansas City, Mo., about an appearance there by President Obama reports:
A full-column length Times editorial by Philip Boffey presses the case the Times has been making in favor of legalizing marijuana. It includes this passage:
Click through the link to the CDC data provided by the Times, and you will see the following disclaimer, which the Times doesn't pass along to its print readers: "Due to survey design modifications, comparison of results from before 1999 to 1999–2001 and 2002–2011 need to be made with caution."

There's nothing wrong with a little nip here and a little tuck there, but some celebs out there need to know when enough is enough. I mean, when your face is so tight that it looks like it would be difficult to blink, that's probably a good stopping point. And bad plastic surgery isn't just for the over-40 set; nowadays, even the young stars in their 20s are getting Botoxed into oblivion. We prefer that women of all ages stay the natural course and age gracefully, but more and more that seems completely unrealistic.
Take these five women in Hollywood, for example. They've gotten so much cosmetic surgery that they're almost unrecognizable.
That's Jada Pinkett-Smith right there, in case you couldn't tell. The actress and mom attended the premiere of Madagascar 3 and people were a little taken aback by her new, tighter visage.
More from The Stir: The Worst Celebrity Beauty FAILS!
And that's JWoww, there. The 26-year-old Jersey Shore star has been open about going under the knife, but we sort of hope she's done with the surgeries for a while.
Julia Allison, the newest Bravolebrity who stars in the reality show Miss Advised, is only 30, but her injectables have accidentally aged her.
Courteney Cox must be best friends with her plastic surgeon because she seems to be in his office almost every week. The 48-year-old mother of one keeps messing with her gorgeous face and we're a little worried for her.
Heather Dubrow of Real Housewives of Orange County fame is married to a high-profile plastic surgeon, but really, that's no excuse for her Robert Palmer backup-dancer-look.
Addicted to beauty and style? Make sure you follow us on Pinterest, the virtual pin board that is seriously addicting! Check out some of our favorite boards, including Spring Style 2012, Celebrity Style, and our hilarious I'll Take That Dare style videos, and you'll see what we mean.

EW. i can honestly say every one of these ladies looked better before surgery. just wow.
and thank you for not making it a slide show!!! :)
Holy crap! I must be living under a rock because I only recognized ONE of these women....But yea...those injectables make women look WAAAAAY older and just ridiculous.
Jada???? She looks the same but skinnier...how about Meg Ryan, god she was so cuuuuute and her lips are freakishly baaaad!!!
i think courtney cox is beautiful.

July 31, 2013, 3:00 AM — Warrants are not required by the U.S. government to access historical cell site information, an appeals court ruled in an order.
The Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution protects only reasonable expectations of privacy, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit wrote in a 2-1 ruling on Tuesday. The Fourth Amendment protects against unreasonable searches and seizures.
"Because a cell phone user makes a choice to get a phone, to select a particular service provider, and to make a call, and because he knows that the call conveys cell site information, the provider retains this information, and the provider will turn it over to the police if they have a court order, he voluntarily conveys his cell site data each time he makes a call," the court added.
Cell site information is clearly a business record, collected by the service provider for its own business purposes, and without being asked to so by the government, the court said in the order.
The dispute hinged around whether law enforcement agents can access cell site data with a relatively easy-to-obtain order under section 2703 (d) of the Stored Communications Act, which is based on a showing of "specific and articulable facts," instead of using a search warrant after showing probable cause.
Rights groups American Civil Liberties Union and Electronic Frontier Foundation and others have argued that the government should be required to seek a warrant to access the location information, because it is sensitive and can reveal a great deal about a person. The groups argued in court that SCA grants courts the discretion to require the government to obtain a warrant based upon probable cause before accessing historical cell phone location data.
Ruling that compelled warrantless disclosure of cell site data violates the Fourth Amendment, a magistrate judge earlier denied a government request for the historical cell site data in three applications filed in October, 2010 under the SCA for seeking evidence relevant to three separate criminal investigations. The judge, however, allowed for providing subscriber information.
Following an appeal by the government, a district court held that data "disclosing the location of the telephone at the time of particular calls may be acquired only by a warrant issued on probable cause," as the records would show the date, time called, number, and location of the telephone when the call was made, which is constitutionally protected.
The Fifth Circuit court clarified that its ruling only covered section 2703(d) orders to obtain historical cell site information, and did not address, for example, orders requesting data from all phones that use a tower during a particular interval or "situations where the Government surreptitiously installs spyware on a target's phone or otherwise hijacks the phone's GPS, with or without the service provider's help."
