Whether or not they have implemented anything yet, "addresses concerns by the likes of Microsoft and other tech giants" should read "addresses concerns of non-US populations"...about the ability of the US Government to pry into the private affairs of non-US citizens.
Not that the US Government gives a flying fuck about the views of non-US citizens. If the US Government finally starts to behave decently and respect the views of non-US citizens (even for the most bogus of corporate-funded reasons), it's a start...

Apple also announced its entry into the payments market with "Apple Pay." They're trying to replace traditional credit card payments with holding an iPhone up to a scanner instead. It uses NFC and the iPhone's TouchID fingerprint scanner. Users can take a picture of their credit cards, and Apple Pay will gather payment information, encrypt it, and store it. (Apple won't have any of the information about users' credit cards or their purchases, and users will be able to disable the payment option through Find My iPhone if they lose the device.) Apple Pay will work with Visa, Mastercard, and American Express cards to start. 220,000 stores that support contactless payment will accept Apple Pay, and many apps are building direct shopping support for it. It will launch in October as an update for iOS 8, and work only on the new phones.
Apple capped off the conference with the announcement of the long-anticipated "Apple Watch." Their approach to UI is different from most smartwatch makers: Apple has preserved the dial often found on the side of analog watches, using it as a button and an input wheel. This "digital crown" enables features like zoom without obscuring the small screen with fingers. The screen is touch-sensitive and pressure sensitive, so software can respond to a light tap differently than a hard tap. The watch runs on a new, custom-designed chip called the S1, it has sensors to detect your pulse, and it has a microphone to receive and respond to voice commands. It's powered by a connector that has no exposed contacts — it magnetically seals to watch and charges inductively. The Apple Watch requires an iPhone of the following models to work: 6, 6Plus, 5s, 5c, 5. It will be available in early 2015, and will cost $349 for a base model.

It's very fashionable to decry things we don't understand. Dowsing clearly works; my father called the local dowser in for his house in a remote part of SW Ireland. I watched him walk back and forth across the land, rods twitching, and eventually he hacked his heel down and said to "drill here" and we'd get "water for a family of five and to spare". Drill he did, we dropped down a remote-control DanFoss pump, and sucked on an aquifer that never failed, even in the drought years.
OK, they guy knew all the land thereabouts: he lived locally. Maybe he just knew the exact path of every underground watercourse in the neighborhood, but I doubt it. As a scientist, I want replicability of the observation (no problem here: he and several others do this for a living: no charge unless the water flows), and I'd like an explanation of why (none yet)...but equally I refuse to dismiss a phenomenon simply because it has no explanation yet. If we did that we'd still be living in the dark because we couldn't explain sunlight.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
My issue mostly comes from being a snob when it comes to writing and plot elements.
You really don't want to hear my rant about the majority of Young Adult Fiction.... Seriously. Among my friends, I am notorious for my rants. Once one lasted an entire hour and thirty minutes. A rage fueled lecture.
The Pirate said...
He tends to butcher the REAL lore and his books are very....amateurish? I dunno i just think Christie Golden is my fave WoW Writer. Golden is like a 3 course meal at the Savoy. Knakk is like a cheap, greasy burger from Mc Ds
I honestly think its that fine line between fanfaction and published author. A fanfiction tends to be about someone personal characters put into a universe where they are more important than existing characters and the Existing characters spend all there time talk up those characters created by the Author. The Relationship between Rhonin and Illidan in the War of the Ancients trilogy might be seen an example of this.
However I would suggest that unlike fanfiction where characters are one dimensional conduit of awesome that sunder the world. Knaaks characters are for the most part well round if ungodly powerful.
My main issue is tends to use the same ideas to often through the course of a book. Foxbloods telporting in 'Stormrage' Sky chases in Demon Soul to name a few.
All that said his books are quick reads filled with action and while might hurt your mind the more you think about them they do tend to be enjoyable from a pulp fiction level. And to read the Interview it seems it trying to find that find line between good drama and fulling the story needs of blizzard. Sometimes it works some times it doesn't
Just my two copper
I -don't- hate anything, and I certainly don't hate him.
I just dislike his writing, and it's unfortunate that he was the one chosen to write a subject that I might otherwise enjoy. That's really all it's about.
But I dislike the writing of plenty of authors, including many who are popular or well liked.
Heck, I dislike the writing of some authors I enjoy... take for example Janet Evanovich. My mom -loves- her and convinced me to read one of her books. She has a keen eye for humor (she really can write some comedy) and a pretty good one for characters, but the rest of it is too formulaic and rote for my taste.
I -can- read her books just fine (and have since), but I tend to enjoy only pieces of them, vs. the whole book when the author's style doesn't irk me.
Well... I hate him more because he turned one of the best heroes in Dragonlance (Huma) into a Mary Sue that even Med'an would bow down to and worship, as well as not even glancing at the, oh, only 10 or so minor, easy-to-accomadate details. It was like it wasn't even based in the same universe. I've been angry at him ever since.
Meh, his works in WoW were ok, but they could have been worse. >.>
Ok, this cannot pass without comment. The Legend of Huma and Kaz the Minotaur are two of the finest, if not THE finest, books in the entirely of the dragonlance chronicles. Yes, better than Weis and Hickman's work, even.
Knaak's Huma was so far from a Mary Sue character, I'm not sure you understand what the term means. In fact, his is THE only Huma, unless there's been another Huma book since I've last adventured in Krynn. A few poorly remembered legends in Chronicles does not define a character, or even bring him into any sort of focus. Huma is basically nothing more than a name before Knaak fleshes him out, so to object to him ruining the best hero in the series is ridiculous. You didn't know anything about him before!
Beyond that, the Legend of Huma is a great story. The dissimilarity between the actual story of Huma and the legends Sturm recites is a brilliant touch, intended or not. How well do you think the legends of Robin of Lockley or King Arthur correspond to the men that inspired them, if they existed? Not a whole lot. Even movies produced today have very little historical accuracy when they actually have access to records. The actual story of Huma having little to do with the 1500 year old legend passed down is one of the most realistic touches possible.
Aside from that, it's a fantastic story. The hero of legend is full of self doubt and out of sync with the rest of his order. All the little touches move away from what you expect the story of a legendary hero to be, and that's what makes it memorable. Far from a Mary Sue, Huma is an everyman hero. I don't want to delve too deeply into the story, for those who haven't read it. But it's essentially the story of a typical knight. He's chosen by destiny, and he answers the call and dies for it. His victories are not without price, neither for him or his allies. But they are his.
Now, you don't have to like day of the dragon. I'm not crazy about, it's a passable story that Rhonin detracts from. It does introduce the different flights of dragons and is an important lore story, so I do appreciate it for that and would say it's worth reading to a lore junkie. War of the ancients is a little better, and I've found most of the complaints about it to be overblown.
But if you don't like Legend of Huma, you should probably stop reading fantasy literature. The only reason you could possible have not to like it, is if you decided you were going to hate a book Knaak wrote because it was Knaak.

Metzen's Tyrande: "I am a warrior of the Night, I will do whatever it takes for my people and to preserve the land... even if it means the unthinkable! No sacrifice is too great!"
WoW's Tyrande: *bounce bounce*
Knaak's Tyrande:"Hey Malfy sweetie, Me and Ysera baked a cake for my big-strong hubby! When you come back from saving the world maybe we could snuggle!"
And he does this... for every female character. And let's not forget the amount of Gary Stues he creates... GAH!

Aplastic anemia and other marrow failure disorders are a group of conditions in which bone marrow does not produce enough blood cells. Bone marrow failure disorders are not cancers, but they are treated by physicians who specialize in malignant hematology.
Marrow failure disorders are extremely rare. Fewer than 1,000 people are diagnosed with aplastic anemia in the U.S. every year. A small percentage of marrow failure disorders are inherited. Most cases of aplastic anemia are not genetic, but result from an autoimmune disorder in which a patient's immune system attacks his or her own bone marrow.
Symptoms of aplastic anemia include many typical indications of low red blood cell counts, including fatigue, shortness of breath, dizziness and other physical problems. Low white cells can lead to frequent and recurrent infections. Low platelet counts can result in easy bruising or bleeding. Some people with aplastic anemia show no symptoms at all.
Patients with mild aplastic anemia that is not worsening may not need treatment. For patients with more severe aplastic anemia, there are two different treatment approaches. The right approach depends on the patient's age, health and other factors.

Fuel Economy (city/hwy)
Review: 2007 Chevrolet Suburban
This 2007 review is representative of model years 2007 to 2014.
By Dan Jedlicka of MSN Autos
Bottom Line:
Worth a good look if you need a big sport-utility vehicle.
The first Chevrolet Suburban was introduced in 1935 and its nameplate is still with us. That shows that there long has been a need for a large people/cargo hauler, although the "SUV" designation was about 50 years in the future then.
Chevrolet began redesigning the 2007 Suburban several years ago, when it was raking in lots of money from sales of the previous Suburban, and when few suspected that gasoline prices would hit $3 per gallon, as they did last summer.
Gas prices have fallen a lot, at least as of this writing. But owners of large SUVs such as the Suburban would still need their space and towing ability, even if fuel prices had stayed at $3 per gallon. Some would just put off buying a new Suburban for awhile, that's all.
Steady Market
The new Suburban is virtually all-new, inside and out. Ford has dropped its big Excursion SUV. Thus, for now at least, the Suburban and its derivative models, such as the Cadillac Escalade, are the largest SUVs. Chevy says the Suburban can carry more people and cargo than any other full-size SUV.
More Shapely
The Suburban's 4-speed automatic transmission shifts smoothly, but some rivals have a more modern 5-speed automatic.
Steering, handling and braking are good for a big truck, although the brake pedal should have a more progressive action. The 130-inch wheelbase helps provide a smooth sedan-like ride. And a stability control system with new rollover mitigation technology is standard.
Despite the Suburban's generally car-like nature, though, you never forget that you're in a giant SUV. Its elephantine size discourages quick maneuvers and fast lane changes.
Better Steering
The Suburban delivers an estimated 15 mpg in the city and 21 on the highway with rear-wheel drive and 15 and 20 with 4-wheel drive with its standard 5.3-liter V8. That's not bad for an SUV that weighs approximately 5,800 pounds.
Fuel-Saving Feature
More towing capacity is provided by an optional 6.0-liter 366-horsepower pushrod V8, although it provides less fuel economy.
Three Trim Levels
All Suburbans have a good amount of comfort and convenience equipment, but option packages can cause prices to escalate. For instance, my test Suburban had a $4,050 package containing leather upholstery, power adjustable pedals, power heated front seats, Bose premium sound system, remote starter and head side-curtain airbags with rollover protection.
Other popular options are a $1,295 rear entertainment system with a larger (8-inch) screen and a $995 power sliding sunroof. The $350 power remote liftgate is handy if your arms are full of groceries.
Improved Roomy Interior
Seven tall adults could be swallowed by my test LT, although the Suburban can seat up to nine. Even the third-row seat area was roomy for two 6-footers, although above-average effort is needed to reach it, and getting out calls for awkward moves.
The Suburban stands tall, so running boards are needed for most to enter or leave any seating row. Buyers of the LTZ can get $1,095 power running boards, which glide out when a door is opened and move out of slight when it's closed. They're worth the money in snow-belt areas, if only because they don't allow snow and ice buildup.
Large Cargo Area
The much-improved new Suburban should be appreciated by both new and veteran Suburban owners. Its nameplate may even still be around 72 years from now.

Lyric concertante opera in one act by Peter I. Tschaikovsky Performed in Russian with German surtitles
In a garden paradise, Marta, Brigitta and Laura are passing the time at music and games with the King's daughter Iolanta. But Iolanta is melancholic and restless. Confused by an undefined, insatiable longing, she feels that her companions are concealing something from her. Her nurse and friends give her flowers to cheer her up and finally sing her to sleep.
Meanwhile Almerich, the new armour-bearer of the powerful King René of Provence, appears, bringing Bertram, the gatekeeper of the castle and garden, news of his master's imminent arrival. Bertram then reveals the secret of the place to the astonished Almerich: King René's daughter Iolanta, who is supposed to be living in a convent in Spain, is blind and hidden in this very castle from the outside world by her father. It is forbidden on pain of death to reveal to her that she is blind or the beauty of vision and light.
King René appears, accompanied by a Moorish doctor who is supposed to heal his daughter . Ebn-Chakia, however, refuses to operate on Iolanta while she knows nothing of her blindness and does not want to see. René is outraged and rejects this.
Shortly afterwards, two knights who have lost their bearings in the Vosges appear at the garden gate: Robert, Duke of Burgundy, and his friend Count Vaudémont. They are on their way to King René, to honour Robert's betrothal to Iolanta which was concluded when they were children. Robert, who has never seen Iolanta, is meanwhile in love with Mathilde, Countess of Lorraine, and laments his fate of having to marry a seemingly emotionally cold novice instead of his beloved. Vaudémont cannot understand his fiery passion for Mathilde and enthuses about an angelic, gentle woman. Despite being forbidden to enter, they both go into the garden and find Iolanta asleep. When Vaudémont sees her, he is immediately spellbound. Robert, who feels uneasy about the force of attraction Iolanta has over his friend, hurries away to »save« Vaudémont and his beauty with a force of armed men.
Vaudémont remains behind with Iolanta who has now awoken. She too feels herself drawn in an inexplicable way to this stranger with his gentle voice. When Vaudémont, however, asks her for a red rose as a memento and when Iolanta helplessly gives him a white rose three times, he realises that she is blind. Unsuspecting, he reveals to her what it means to see, and that without light the knowledge of God and the glory of his Creation is impossible. Iolanta rejects this emphatically. She is convinced that she can praise God even without her sight.
Both are surprised by René, Ebn-Chakia and the royal household. Horrified, the King learns that his daughter now knows everything. The doctor, however, gives hope that Yolanda will now long to be healed but she hesitates and only agrees to the operation when René threatens to kill Vaudémont, if she refuses. Prepared to endure any pain for her beloved, she allows Ebn-Chakia to lead her away.
Meanwhile Robert appears with his soldiers. Vaudémont begs him to ask René to release him from his engagement. He, Vaudémont, will love Iolanta for ever, no matter whether she can see or not. René agrees.
Then Iolanta appears, healed, confused and scared by the light and the many impressions. She recognises her father, friends and Vaudémont only when she hears their voices and feels their touch. The view of the night sky finally calms her completely. She joins all the others in a hymn of praise to Creation.

So originally I made a video reply to "how i got through darksouls" on YouTube of me spamming arrows into the zombie dragon in darksouls as a joke. I then thought. Hmm this might transition to flash?
This flash gave me a lot of room to experiment with artstyle and some techniques. such as lighting and the bounce effect.
hopefully this isn't the worst movie of the day.

Your drawing is pretty good, but I really think you need to work on your animation. Your characters have no sense of weight, and a lot of the movements here weren't smooth. For example the blacksmith at the beginning, he swings too fast and swings it as if it's made of Styrofoam.
Though the humor and plot was good.

Folks along a quiet Crookston street have been facing an unusual problem, dozens of trees have gone missing from their backyards.
The problem has been swimming out of the Red Lake River into their backyards. Overnight, just like that… another tree can disappear.
Dan Erdman: "We're talking beavers. Yep."
In fact, Dan Erdman says he and his neighbors all along the river here… have been losing trees to beaver. They were dragging the trees into their dens along the river bank.
Dan Erdman, Crookston: "I just lost a couple. Bob and Gayle Nelson here lost 8 or so and then, their neighbors lost close to twenty."
I couldn't find one to poke his furry, bucktoothed head out of the river today. But, folks say the problem has gotten better since the DNR trapped some beaver last winter. However, there are still some around.
Marietjie Roberts, Crookston: "Overnight, they would take several overnight and the next was just down here some place. They had all the stuff sitting in the water there."
Folks say they were told by the DNR that low river levels last fall likely lured the beaver here. But, now the river level is up again, high water and strong currents may convince the beaver to move on down the line.
Those beaver have been in the same Crookston neighborhood a bear was spotted last year, stealing food out of bird feeders.

Two Dildos In One So You Can Share!
Made in America
Share this double glass dildo with a friend or keep it all for yourself!
• Double-ended design great for sharing with a friend
• Both ends angled for G-Spot or prostate stimulation
• Pink beads provide clitoral stimulation and double as a safety feature
• Try it warm for a realistic feeling or cold for a titillating surprise
• Each end measures 1 inch wide and 4 inches long, insertable
• Made in the U.S. from hypoallergenic and nonporous glass
• Dildo can last a lifetime with proper care
With is special double-ended design, you and a friend can use the toy at the same time banging butts, knocking vajayjays, or any combination you want. Or you can simply use the extra half as a handle for better control. Both ends are virtually identical with a tapered tip curved at a steep angle and a shaft that starts out slim and gradually grows thicker. The tips are specially designed to make it easier for you to find and tease your G-Spot or prostate for additional thrills.
The large pink beads in the center pull double duty. First, their extra width and pleasure nubs rub and massage your clit during use. Second, they act as a safety feature to limit how far you insert the dildo and keep it from going too deep.
You can even alter the temperature of your glass dildo for sensory stimulation. Just hold the toy under warm water to heat it up – giving your dildo a more realistic feeling and also providing extra relief during massages. Or you can get it nice and chilly in the freezer to give your lover goose bumps and leave their nipples rock hard.
Each end of the dildo measures 1 inch wide and 4 inches long, insertable. The entire toy measures 10 inches long from tip to tip and 1.5 inches wide at the pink beads in the center. Handcrafted in the United States, glass is non-porous so it won't pick up hairs or grime and hypoallergenic so it's safe even for people with severe allergies. The dildo is made from shatter-resistant glass and can last a lifetime with proper care.
Adam & Eve recommends the Joyful Gemini Glass Massager for G-Spot stimulation and sharing with a friend.
The glass double dildo is compatible with Adam & Eve's water-based and silicone-based sex lubes. Wash the dildo in warm, soapy water after use. You can also dip it in boiling water or run it through the dishwasher to clean it. Dry the glass dildo off before storing it in a discreet location with the rest of your sex toys.

Instituto Geofísico del Perú (IGP) reported that, during the last 12 months, seismicity at El Misti was dominated by volcano-tectonic (VT) earthquakes. Two seismic swarms (more than 100 events per day) occurred during the last three months, on 19 May and 3 June. An increase in tremor was noted in April, although the total duration did not exceed 10 minutes and was generally low-amplitude. Long-period seismicity was not significant. In the last 15 days, seismicity increased slightly and tremor was recorded daily.

05/1984 (SEAN 09:05) Increased vapor emission
12/1985 (SEAN 10:12) New summit crater fumaroles
07/2013 (BGVN 38:07) Generally quiet; 1st small seismic swarm in 5 years during August 2012
05/1984 (SEAN 09:05) Increased vapor emission
"An increase in the normal emission of vapor from the volcano has been noted since the beginning of April. At times the column rose to about 1 km above the crater and was ejected from the dome (150 m in diameter) that is about 250 m below the outer rim of the crater. A temperature of 125°C has been registered for some years in the dome's fumarolic fissures. [At the dome, blocks of andesite are covered with sulfur, gypsum, anhydrite, and ralstonite.]
"It is possible that this increase in vapor (no such increase had been noted since April 1971) is caused by the evaporation of water from the rains which have been intense this year and abundant for 3 months, January-March. As the rains ended and the clouds disappeared, the impressive and sometimes intermittent vapor column from the volcano was visible from Arequipa (1,000,000 inhabitants including the suburbs). It cannot be excluded that a notable increase in natural degassing has also been occurring, in combination with the evaporation of atmospheric water.
"Persons who intended to go to the bottom of the crater 29 April to collect samples were prevented from doing so because gases irritated noses, throats, and eyes. They said that they also observed flaring, perhaps caused by the combustion of hydrogen or other gases.
"The Observatorio de Chacarato of the Instituto Geofísico, Universidad Nacional de San Agustín de Arequipa (10 km from the city and about 20 km from the volcano's crater) equipped with seismographs and magnetometers, had not registered any changes as of 8 May that could be attributed to perturbations of volcanic origin." . . .
Information Contact: A. Parodi Isolabella, Arequipa.
12/1985 (SEAN 10:12) New summit crater fumaroles
Inside the SE rim of El Misti's [690 x 935]-m summit crater is a younger cinder cone, about [545] m wide at the top and having an inner crater [198] m deep, with a flat floor [158] m across. On 7 and 8 August geologists observed vigorous fumaroles, which had not been active a few months earlier, on the N side of the cinder cone floor. High-pressure degassing, as "noisy as a reaction motor," emitted white-gray vapor from 6 vents. There were red sulfur deposits inside the vents, yellow sulfur outside them. Fumaroles were still visible on the N rim of the crater.
The last strong eruption of El Misti occurred between 1438 and 1471 (the reign of the Inca Pachacutec); several weeks of vigorous tephra emission forced residents of the region to flee. Several smaller explosive eruptions have been reported since then, but some were probably only periods of increased fumarolic activity [such as reports from 1878, 1901, 1906, 1929, 1949, and 1971].

07/2013 (BGVN 38:07) Generally quiet; 1st small seismic swarm in 5 years during August 2012
An HTML version of this report is not available, please read this report as a PDF file.
El Misti, Peru's most well-known volcano, is a symmetrical andesitic stratovolcano with nested summit craters that towers above the city of Arequipa. The modern symmetrical cone, constructed within a small 1.5 x 2 km wide summit caldera that formed between about 13,700 and 11,300 years ago, caps older Pleistocene volcanoes that underwent caldera collapse about 50,000 years ago. A large scoria cone has grown with the 830-m-wide outer summit crater of El Misti. At least 20 tephra-fall deposits and numerous pyroclastic-flow deposits have been documented during the past 50,000 years, including a pyroclastic flow that traveled 12 km to the south about 2000 years ago. El Misti's most recent activity has been dominantly pyroclastic, and strong winds have formed a parabolic dune field of volcanic ash extending up to 20 km downwind. An eruption in the 15th century affected Inca inhabitants living near the volcano. Some reports of historical eruptions may represent increased fumarolic activity.

|El Misti, Perú's best known volcano, is a symmetrical stratovolcano that towers above the city of Arequipa. It is seen here from the west at the margin of Arequipa's airport. The modern symmetrical cone has a small, 1.5-km-wide summit caldera containing nested craters. It caps an older Pleistocene volcano that collapsed, producing debris avalanches to the west and SW. El Misti's most recent activity has been dominantly pyroclastic. Historical eruptions date back to the 15th century.

|The Río Chillos on the NW side of El Misti volcano has excavated a steep-walled canyon that cuts the lower flanks of the volcano. The NW flank of El Misti is somewhat dissected, in contrast to smoother slopes on other sides. Prevailing winds have distributed a thick ashfall blanket to the NE that mantles the distal margins of youthful lava flows.

Pacific Military Take Over
An alert friend spotted this on a local blog… glad someone is talking.
Long time member Bob Duerr, not seen by us in a while, attended the Annual(Press Club) Dinner with his wife Adriana. Editor Rod asked him what he's been up to recently, and Bob submitted this brief version of a longer article he wrote for Hawaii Fishing News, going way beyond fish.
The Northwestern Hawaiian Islands and the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas have nearly four million square miles of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs). This may seem eco-friendly but diving deeper reveals murky waters.
Last year, former Australian defense minister Kim Beazley said U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates had set a "subtle new direction" in security policy.
Gates claims "there is sovereign American territory in the western Pacific from the Aleutian Islands all the way down to Guam." Over the complaining of Marianas, the Marianas National Monument further cements U.S. "sovereign territory."
Why the need for ocean territory? Honolulu journalist Richard Halloran says senior Chinese naval officers have told Honolulu's Admiral Timothy Keating they plan immediately to build aircraft carriers. The Chinese want the U.S. to stop to patrolling the western Pacific.
The military's latest Hawaii Range Complex environmental impact statement shows the testing zone for the complex completely enveloping the northwest islands. U.S. military action is provided in MPA legal clauses, and the U.S. Supreme Court's latest ruling exempting the Navy's high-powered sonar from harming marine mammals sets the precedent for an environmental open door policy.
news junkie Says:
February 24th, 2009 at 11:22 am
Big Mahalo to Bob Duerr for explaining the whole "Pacific Sanctuary" trick. Its a bait and switch… most think these "sanctuaries" are to protect, nuh-uh, Bush set 'em up for the military to use to pollute beyond prying eyes, to freak-out China, and to further sales of the defense industry. The Marianas are the only ones who tried to fight back.
Since we are getting kicked out of Okinawa for being bad neighbors in addition to contaminating their land -Hawai'i Island and Guam are IT; the tip of the spear pointed at China. Lucky us. Thank your congressmen.

The White House
President Barack Obama joins a toast with Technology Business Leaders at a dinner in Woodside, Calif., Feb. 17, 2011.
Google has become part of President Barack Obama's Consumer Privacy Bill of Rights, but so far it's the only big tech company in Silicon Valley that has signed on. Yahoo, Microsoft and AOL have also partnered with the president for a Do Not Track button to be placed on their Web browsers.
The Obama administration views the privacy bill of rights as a necessity for Americans so they can control how their personal information is used on the Internet. "American consumers can't wait any longer for clear rules of the road that ensure their personal information is safe online," Obama said in a statement. "As the Internet evolves, consumer trust is essential for the continued growth of the digital economy. That's why an online privacy Bill of Rights is so important."
The privacy bill of rights is part of the White House report, "Consumer Data Privacy in a Networked World: A Framework for Protecting Privacy and Promoting Innovation in the Global Digital Economy."
What we find interesting is that only Google is part of the team. Apple, Facebook or Twitter are not even mentioned. We all know that Obama has a cordial relationship with Eric Schmidt, so perhaps that explains some of it, because we would like to think other tech companies care about consumer privacy.
While some critics said Obama's move was a good start, the lack of details could just mean more political grandstanding. "The principles are genuinely good," Marc Rotenberg, executive director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center told CNET. "The problem is that there is no plan for implementation or enforcement."

President Obama and Congressional Republicans staged a preview of a looming end-of-year battle on Wednesday, as the president warned Republicans that he would not allow Congress to hold the economy "hostage" to another fight over whether to raise the country's debt ceiling without accompanying cuts in spending.

Boehner: No Debt Ceiling Increase Without Cuts
Essential Reads
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, will not allow an increase in the debt ceiling to move through the House unless the amount of the increase includes an equal or greater amount of spending cuts. His pledge once again sets Congress on a collision course with Senate Democrats and the White House over what was once a routine vote to raise the federal debt ceiling, which allows the U.S. government to continue to pay its bills without the risk of default.
Washington's Year of Drama Leaves Little Done Regarding Debt
On The Radar
Reid Ribble, a Wisconsin roofing contractor-turned-Republican lawmaker, has helped change the way Washington talks about the national debt. That's not to say he has done much about the debt itself. Nearly a year ago, Ribble and other newly elected House Republicans came to Capitol Hill on a single-minded mission to shove the federal debt to the top of the congressional agenda. They succeeded.

A Lee County father is facing federal charges for possessing child pornography after his estranged wife said she found pornography on a hard drive and turned him in.
Investigators say the tip led them to more than 7,000 graphic pictures and videos of child porn belonging to Kevin Kaszynski.
In August, Laura Kaszynski alerted authorities she'd discovered a hard drive belonging to her estranged husband in a Lehigh Acres storage unit.
According to a criminal complaint, she became suspicious and accessed the drive, uncovering the child porn.
Detectives said they later recovered thousands of disturbing, illegal pictures and movies of children dating back four years.
Kaszynski's wife said he asked to end their 20 year marriage in June and moved out of the Latimer Avenue home where they lived with their two adopted kids.
According to the complaint, his wife said he became "more of a recluse and spent his time at home on his password protected" computer in the garage.
"It's very disturbing. It's a scary thing to know there are people like that this close," said David Selby, a neighbor and father of a toddler.
Though Kaszynski is not charged with producing pornography, Selby and his wife said they worry Kaszynski could have targeted their child, or others in the area.
"Hopefully he stays locked up for a long time and away from my neighborhood and my family," Shari Selby said.
Kaszynski has been in the Lee County Jail since September for violating a restraining order filed by his wife after he attempted suicide.
