11:20 A.M. FRIDAY UPDATE: It's official, and it's what we suspected: Courtney Rachelle Flege, 16, of Walton is no longer on "American Idol." She was eliminated in the Hollywood round, and won't be in the small group competition airing next Wednesday.
Here's what was posted on her Facebook page:
"I can not thank you all enough for your support and love during this journey, you may have noticed that Courtney was not included in Idol footage…. She did get 3 excited judges to give her a Yes, She did go Hollywood, She did not advance…
"Her spirits have not been dampered, quite the opposite, she is excited and determined to continue to pursue her dreams….I mean, 3 of the industries top icons confirmed that she was Born to Sing!!!
"So please stay tuned for upcoming events and appearances…this is only the beginning and we hope that you will continue on this ride with us!! Next stop City Hall..Monday Feb. 13th 7pm!!! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!!"
Flege will be honored Monday at the Walton City Council meeting.
ORIGINAL POST 9:57 P.M. THURSDAY: At least we know for sure that Eben Christian Franckewitz is still in the "American Idol" competition. The fate of Courtney Rachelle Flege from Walton isn't so clear.
The 15-year-old Milford High School freshman was shown five times tonight, after barely being seen on Wednesday's elimination episode.
Flege, 16, wasn't seen at all tonight. We finally saw her for the first time on the Wednesday episode — just briefly – arriving at the Los Angeles airport with Franckewitz.
Basically, Fox producers have decided to ignore her and her talented R&B voice which got her on "Showtime at the Apollo" six years ago. (Remember, Fox is casting a reality TV show, and needing different/interesting characters, in addition to someone's vocal ability. Eben surely will appeal to the young girls who watch "Idol.")
The Walton-Verona High School junior quite possibly was among the 124 singers cut by judges on Wednesday's show. Fox's "Idol" publicists would not provide Flege's status as of late tonight.
"Idol" also didn't make clear Franckewitz's fate after solos Wednesday, so his appearances tonight confirmed he was still in the competition.
All of tonight's drama was about the remaining 185 singers forming four- or five-member groups to perform for judges in the next episode…. and Eben apparently didn't have any drama. Host Ryan Seacrest noted that Franckewitz, of Clermont County's Miami Township, had harmoniously assembled some friends and started rehearsing.
The Hollywood Round group performances air 8-10 p.m. next Wednesday-Thursday, Feb. 15-16.
Both Franckewitz and Flege auditioned last July in Pittsburgh, but only Franckewitz was featured on the show. And after tonight, it's clear he's still one of the story lines "Idol" will follow this month.

The void is upon me…I can't escape anymore…oh well.
My Cecil "only" have 2 eyes but I don't think he's noticed his headphones' eyes yet…the only tattoo he got is a funky tentacle spider on his neck because we always have a spider on us, somewhere, right? Especially now. He may also be 1/3 native american which gives him altogether a great hate for the Apache tracker, a great desert skin tone and a great profile.
Perfect Carlos is, well, perfect and basically a giant puppy with luxurious hair everywhere, honey eyes, dimples and an adorable crooked smile~
I'm a fan of these designs.

Bash Compactor: Wu Tsang's Clan
"It's like color therapy," observed one woman. "Only the opposite."
About 10 of us were packed into a neon green elevator with fluorescent lighting, heading up to the seventh floor of the New Museum where Wu Tsang, a young performer and filmmaker, was presenting his latest project: The Table. Four DJs were going to face each other at one table and spin music for five straight hours. A rising talent in the art world, Wu is currently in residency at the museum, showcasing different parts of his latest film, Full Body Quotation. The Table was one of his first projects as part of his new gig—and I had no idea what to expect from the elusive, experimental artist.
Even though it was at a museum, and The Table was meant to be a performance, I couldn't help feeling like I was about to enter a club. As we rose from the ground floor, the music grew louder—a throbbing techno beat that, combined with the blindingly bright walls, created a surreal effect. Anticipation filled the elevator until the doors finally opened and the music swarmed all around us.
It wasn't a club. It was an exhibition of music: a crowd of people stood inside an all-white room, facing a center table where the four DJs stood. Some listeners danced subtly by themselves, but there was no grinding, no spinning, no ass-shaking.
Hoping to find out what brought partygoers to the space, I ventured out onto the crowded balcony to smoke. A girl wearing knee-high socks and a wooden xylophone as a necklace asked to bum a cigarette. I asked her what she thought of the whole thing.
"More dancing would be nice," she said. "But I guess it's OK because people are just appreciating the music."
She introduced herself as Rachel. She and her friend, Ellen, had come to see Kingdom, aka Ezra Rubin, one of the DJs at the table.
Like the rest of the crowd, they looked like ravers who were waiting for the party to start, who wanted to dance but just weren't sure if they were supposed to.
"I wish there was more of a dance scene in New York," sighed Rachel. She was from L.A.
Back inside, I spotted Wu. I knew it was him because of his shoes, a pair of multi-colored striped booty heels that he had posted a picture of on his blog just 10 days earlier. He was wearing an orange top and black leggings and was bouncing around from the DJ table to the crowd, hugging people he recognized, dancing by himself. When I tried to talk to him, he got distracted by one person, then another and then another.
Wu may be one of the most important young artists in New York right now, so it's no surprise that he was hard to pin down. Since 2010, his projects have been presented all over the world—from L.A. to Germany to Mexico City—and his newest film, combined with his residency at the New Museum, is likely to launch him even higher up on that art world ladder that mere mortals may never understand. He walked around the pulsating room like a perfect host, glowing in the eyes of friends, fans and total strangers.
At around 9, when the performance was scheduled to end, the room got tense. Everyone stood up or came in from the balcony and watched the DJs with intensity. Wu stood in a close embrace with a young boy, staring at the DJs as if in a trance. The music got more and more dissonant, the beat disappeared, a girl singing R&B took over, the beat came back. Finally, after 10 minutes of drawnout musical anxiety, it ended. Everyone clapped, and then it was quiet. Some tried to talk to Wu and the DJs, but they didn't seem especially talkative—they had, after all, been standing for more than five hours. Most people began heading out, pushed by the unhappy silence that follows a night of great music.
Just as the music had pursued us on the elevator ride up, the silence pursued us on the ride down.
One kid, who had been dancing by himself for the past hour or so, broke the silence.
"This is awkward," he said.

"The most beautiful phone you can buy. It is 'The ONE'!"Technology is the fastest changing variable in today's world. A rich man would buy a Porche or a Ferrari, but he will always have a 1967 Ford Mustang in his garage which defines the term 'Classic', 'Tech that created history'. Well, HTC here, has made something of that sort. The HTC One is the phone that you would like to keep for years as a part of your gadget collection. It is by far the most beautiful phone ever made available to a general consumer (Vertus not being taken into consideration)
Built: Made up of one block of Aluminium with zero gaps, it gives you a premium feel in hand everytime you pick up the phone. Trust me, you wouldn't want to buy a case for it. It definitely puts Apple to shame when it comes to build quality, and Samsung looks like a handmade plastic toy.
Display:It has a gorgeous 4.7inch full HD 1080pixel screen with amazing colors. Media on this phone is an absolute delight.
Processor:No lag whatsoever, thanks to the 1.7Ghz Quadcore snapdragon 600 CPU. Everything is blazing fast. One major complaint, the phone gets really hot while playing games or using heavy apps.
Sense5: Although I don't find blinkfeed very useful, it still complements the amazing screen with its beautiful tiles and upward flow. The interface is easy to use.
Camera: Controversial 4ultrapixel camera would not dissapoint you at all. It has a wideframe and captures beautiful photos and videos. HTC Zoe is the feature to look out for. It can really make your gallery come to life. It automatically creates highlight movies of photos taken at an event.
Sound: HTC BoomSound with stereo speakers coupled with Beats Audio can make you phone sound like a home theatre system. Its loud, crisp and clear. The front facing speakers also help during loudspeaker calls.
Battery-Average battery life. Hardly makes it through a day. It takes a long time to charge.
It still is the most desired phone today especially after Mr.Tony Stark started advertising the brand. If you like Apple/Samsung, its time to #HTChange!

Letter to the Editor: Throwing money at gun problem
ROCKPORT - RE: "Obama calls for $500M to curb gun violence"
For $500 million he could probably buy nearly every military-style assault weapon and high-capacity magazine in the entire U.S.!
Simply put, all President Obama has to do is sign a piece of paper to eliminate these sales. But not our government, nooo we have to throw a few hundred million dollars at the problem for good measure.

Tata Takes Over S-92 Cabin
In a three-way deal that first came to light as a memorandum of understanding (MOU) last year, Sikorsky announced on Friday that it completed an agreement for India's Tata Advanced Systems Ltd. (TASL) to build the cabins of its S-92 Helibus in India. The cabins will be manufactured at a new TASL facility in Hyderabad in the state of Andhra Pradesh. Deliveries will begin next year. TASL is part of India's Tata Group of diversified companies, a wide-ranging global conglomerate with annual sales of $62 billion. The cabin was manufactured by Japan's Mitsubishi, one of the original global risk-sharing partners in the S-92 program. The deal spotlights Sikorsky's continuing efforts to wring costs from the S-92 program, Tata's stepped up presence as an emerging global aerospace player and the increasing amount of collaboration between Mitsubishi and Tata in recent years. The two companies are partners in a variety of automotive, aerospace, real estate development and financial ventures.

The Congressman Who Broke All the Rules
Posted By Patrick Kiger On December 30, 2013 @ 2:12 pm In Legacy | Comments Disabled
These days we're rarely shocked when we learn that a politician has enjoyed lavish benefits at public expense or found some way to exploit public office for personal gain. That makes all the more remarkable the story of former U.S. Rep. Andrew "Andy" Jacobs Jr. [1] (D-Ind.), who during his three decades in Congress declined to accept the monthly disability payments to which he was entitled for his injuries in combat as a Marine during the Korean War.
[2]"He didn't think it was right to take that money, since he had a job with a good wage," Gary Taylor, his former campaign manager, told the Associated Press. [3] "He was frugal, and that's something I think the public really seemed to take to about him."
Jacobs, who died on Dec. 28 at age 81 in Indianapolis [4], was an idealistic Capitol Hill iconoclast. In contrast to many in Congress, he fought to protect Medicare and Social Security while practicing personal austerity, and tweaked his colleagues by attempting to whittle away at elected officials' perquisites. Jacobs also wasn't above championing a few eccentric causes, such as his repeated efforts to replace "The Star Spangled Banner" with "America the Beautiful" [5] as the national anthem.

Here are a dozen interesting facts about Jacobs:
After retiring from Congress in 1997, Jacobs resurfaced as a opponent of the Iraq war, which he charged was financed by foreign borrowing. [16]

This is what the Bracket looks like so far
Hottest teams coming into post season play.
Wake forest, Creighton, Akron and St John (N.Y) came in as #1 in thier part of the bracket. Maryland has one 11 striaght coming into the tourne and The Michigan State Spartans have won 12 of 13 after going 2 and 5 to start the season. State has also won 9 straight abd the Big Ten season Title and Confrence Title. Akron is probaly one of the hottest teams in the nation, they have one 16 striaght games coming into the tourne. Creighton has gone undefeated its past 13 games and won 11 of them.
Teams struggling coming in.
San Francisco and Denver locked up the west coast confrence and Mountain Pacific Sports Federation bids, but they dont have much momentum coming in. USF lost thier final game of the season 5-4 to Loyola Marymount, but the Gonzaga loss locked up an automatic bid. Denver locked up the MPSF title but seeing thier 10 game win streak snapped coming into the tourne doesnt help with some of the teams that have alot of momentum. In the Big Ten Northwestern won its first 16 games but then lost thier last 4 of 6 games of the season. If Northwestern can get back on track they can go very far in the tourne.
Buffalo and Brown got the bubble bursted. Buffalo had the highest RPI that didnt make the tourne at 32nd. They didnt have any major wins against nonconference oppent or MAC. Overall they did finish 3rd in thier Division. They did'nt have the strengh of schedule to make it. On the another hand Brown was ranked for the first half of the season but ended up lossing 5 of thier 6 last games.
Ohio State was last years runner up they come into the post season with not alot of momentum. They finished the season 9-8-2
Michigan did'nt make it to the tourne last year this year they came in with a 12-5-3 record.
Its not a NCAA tourne without upsets

So, two cool things are happening today. Number one is another conversation with yours truly that just went up on the Nymphoto blog. I like this conversation/interview a lot. It's honest and an accurate take on my feelings on photography, both commercial and personal. Thanks to the ladies at Nymphoto for always being so supportive of my work.
Number two (these are not in order of importance) cool thing is that today is my four year anniversary. Today marks 1,460 days of marriage to my best friend. I will be the first to say that I did not marry a simple or uncomplicated person, and nor did he. I will also say that being married to him has made me feel so happy, so grateful, so supported, and so loved. For now, I will end on that note because as much as I want to shout it from the rooftops, the blog is not always the most appropriate forum for super personal and sincere stuff.
I chose the above picture to illustrate this post because a.) it's featured in the Nymphoto conversation, but more importantly b.) it was taken on our honeymoon. I love you, husband.

My latest post is bashing the video games industry for their shameless attempts to keep us connected to their servers while we try and play the games we paid for. Seriously, fuck those guys. :)
The domain is bought, and the first post is made. I will still use Tumblr from time to time, but I need to try and reach a larger audience and have a more business-like place for my writings. Please support my blog by sharing this link and having a good read of my first post, a review of Canadian environment policy
Alright, so here we are, 21st century, and equality is still out of reach. Women get paid less, and are under siege in places like India, but another problem exists: women are getting extra special treatment that throws the needle away from equality. The article describes a woman who sexually molested young boys, pleaded not-guilty in the face of overwhelming evidence, and was let off the hook. Why is that? Well, one has to assume it is because she is a woman, since a man in that situation would be spending the foreseeable future behind bars. She leaves court with a smirk on her face, and gets a slap on the wrist.
Link: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2271218/Allowing-woman-31-walk-free-groping-12-year-old-boy-criminal-sign-outdated-chivalry-says-Peter-Lloyd.html#axzz2JsChlaNo
Now, this is one example, but the article presents many others. Anyone without their head up their ass knows that there is a gender bias towards women in many regards. No one is debating that, but there are other issues besides letting women catch up to men, like taking them down off this pedistal of outdated chivalry that exists in the UK courts today. Quoting:
"In 2010, judges were formally advised to go softer on female criminals, thanks to the (ironically titled) Equal Treatment Bench Book - published by the Judicial Studies Board.
Where is the equality in that?"
Where indeed. Apparently holding women to the same standard, from a justice point of view, as men is the cruelest form of oppression. /end rant
ok like i respect the screamo community even though i don't listen to that kind of music but this is downright HILARIOUS
I would watch American Idol more if this was the kind of thing they accepted. That she was mocked is sort of sad, since she was pretty decent.
Quoting from 4:25 -
"People fortunate enough to have been randomly born white in the First World are the most privileged mother-fuckers on this unequal fucking planet, and modern warfare games are basically those people complaining about how tough life can be when everyone's jealous of you. It's like when white dudes complain about being victims of racism cause all the people they used to enslave are making fun of them, or when Christians cry about being persecuted because the government wants to recognize that men can be into the cock.
Just to underline it, the villain is behind an organization of the world's underclasses, so you can add the poor to the growing list of peoples the audience of Black Ops 2 feels threatened by.
But perhaps I shouldn't dwell on the politics. The occasionally sympathetic portrayal of the villain and that whole chapter where you're called upon to defend a repulsively decadent future city for rich people does show a degree of self-awareness on Bl-Ops 2's part. I honestly can't be asked to speculate what degree of irony we may or may not be operating on… ."
—> I find this pretty hilarious, really. Video games have been shifting our perspectives lately and tugging on our heart strings to make us feel bad for things, but to feel bad for the peoples of the First World because the rest of the world is sick of us bombing them back to the stone age via remote control from a trailer in Massachusetts is not something I am capable of. I feel bad for the peoples of Afghanistan, Haiti and Pakistan, where the NATO powers are constantly flexing their muscles and testing their new hardware. I do not feel bad for the drone pilot from New Mexico with Carpel Tunnel Syndrome because he's spent too many hours using a joystick attached to a Reaper Drone, killing civilians.
"You don't want to mess with Mary Jo."
That's what President Obama said about his pick to run the Securities and Exchange Commission, Mary Jo White. The nomination of Ms. White, a former prosecutor who took on the terrorists behind the bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993 and the Mafia boss John Gotti, was meant to signal that the S.E.C. would be getting tough on Wall Street. CBS called her "Wall Street's new sheriff." The Wall Street Journal said she would be "putting a tougher face on an agency still tainted by embarrassing enforcement missteps in the run-up to the financial crisis." The New York Times said her appointment represented a "renewed resolve to hold Wall Street accountable."
Hold on.
While Ms. White is a decorated prosecutor, she has spent the last decade vigorously defending — and billing by the hour — Wall Street's biggest banks, as a rainmaking partner at the white-shoe law firm Debevoise & Plimpton. The average partner at the firm was paid $2.1 million a year, according to American Lawyer; but she was no average partner, very likely being paid at least double that. Her husband, John W. White, is a corporate partner at Cravath, Swaine & Moore. He counts JPMorgan Chase, Credit Suisse and UBS as clients. The average partner at Cravath makes $3.1 million. He, too, was a former official at the S.E.C. — he left Cravath to run the corporate division of the S.E.C. starting in 2006 just in time for the run-up to the financial crisis. He left in November 2008, a month after the bank bailouts, to return to Cravath.
It seems Mr. and Ms. White have made a fine art of the revolving door between government and private practice.
So how conflicted is Ms. White? Let's count the ways.
They are well documented: she was JPMorgan Chase's go-to lawyer for many of the cases brought against it relating to the financial crisis. She was arm-in-arm with Kenneth D. Lewis, Bank of America's former chief executive, keeping him out of trouble when the New York attorney general accused Mr. Lewis of defrauding investors by not disclosing the losses at Merrill Lynch before completing Bank of America's acquisition of the firm. (And empirically, Mr. Lewis did keep crucial information about the deal from investors.)
This is what she had to say about Mr. Lewis, in a court filing submitted on his behalf: "Some have looked to assign blame for every aspect of the financial crisis, even where there is no evidence of misconduct. This case is a product of that dynamic and does not withstand either legal or factual scrutiny." It was a refrain she often made about her clients related to the financial crisis.
And then there was Senator Bill Frist, the Republican from Tennessee, whom she successfully represented when the S.E.C. and the Justice Department started an investigation into whether he was involved in insider trading in shares of HCA, the hospital chain. She persuaded them to shut down the investigation.
She also worked with Siemens, the German industrial giant, when it pleaded guilty to charges of bribery, paying a record $1.6 billion penalty.
And then, of course, there was John Mack. She worked for the board of Morgan Stanley during a now well-publicized 2005 investigation into insider trading that ended soon after she made a phone call to the S.E.C. Using her connections at the top of the agency, she dialed up Linda Thomsen, then the commission's head of enforcement, to find out whether Mr. Mack, who was being considered for Morgan Stanley's chief executive position, was being implicated. He ultimately wasn't. As the Huffington Post pointed out in a recent article about Ms. White, Robert Hanson, an S.E.C. supervisor, later testified, "It is a little out of the ordinary for Mary Jo White to contact Linda Thomsen directly, but that White is very prestigious and it isn't uncommon for someone prominent to have someone intervene on their behalf."
All of Ms. White's previous engagements create not only an "optics" problem, but a practical, on-the-job problem. She will most likely need to recuse herself from just about anything related to her previous work.
"I will not for a period of two years from the date of my appointment participate in any particular matter involving specific parties that is directly and substantially related to my former employer or former clients, including regulations and contracts," is the language in an ethics pledge that she will have to agree to follow.
Some appointees, including Mary L. Schapiro, the former chairwoman of the S.E.C., recused themselves from any involvement in work that was related to a previous employer even after the two-year moratorium. Gary Gensler, the chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, recused himself from the investigation into MF Global because of his previous employment at Goldman Sachs, where Jon Corzine was the firm's head, even though it had been years since the two had worked together.
And then there is the issue of Mr. White's husband, who will have a continuing role at Cravath, one of the most pre-eminent firms in the country, whose clients include some of the nation's largest corporations.
"This president has adopted the toughest ethics rules of any administration in history," said Amy Brundage, a White House spokeswoman, "and this nominee is no exception. As S.E.C. chair, Mary Jo White will be in complete compliance with all ethics rules."
None of these conflicts gets at another potential problem for Ms. White. The job of chairwoman of S.E.C. isn't simply about enforcement; she has a deputy for that. The biggest challenge anyone who takes the job will have to confront over the next several years will be executing and enforcing provisions of Dodd-Frank and working to regulate electronic trading — something that even the most sophisticated financial professionals, let alone a lawyer, often have a tough time understanding. She has zero experience in this area.
—> This is one of the biggest conflict of interests I have ever seen. It would make more sense to appoint Bill Maher as Pope. America is in the midst of a change that is going to hurt them very badly in the long term and the short term, but a lot of people on the left are blind to it because it's their guy in charge, and he was supposed to clean this mess up. Since that isn't happening, we have drone strikes targeting people all around the world for murder with no trial, invasions of sovereign nations to murder people with, again, no trials, and big banks are making sure they get to stay in the business of gambling with people's futures by making sure the people who are in charge of investigating them are good friends from the past.
"Prosecutors destroy a life." That could be a headline in every newspaper every day in a land where the answer to every problem (and many nonproblems) is police and prisons. When 26-year-old Internet prodigy and freedom of information activist Aaron Swartz committed suicide on January 11, the tragedy was the direct result of US attorneys deciding to throw criminal charges at him for violating a website's "terms of services" while accessing publicly subsidized academic research. Swartz entered the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's open campus, accessed its open network and downloaded a few million academic articles owned by the digital library JSTOR, whose database contains content belonging to hundreds of publishers. JSTOR and MIT now insist they would have been only too happy to drop the matter, but prosecutors pushed forward, throwing four felony charges at Swartz, who then faced a maximum sentence of thirty-five years in prison, along with fines of up to $1 million. Prosecutors shoveled on nine more felony counts in September, bringing the total to thirteen.
The Justice Department's legal assault on Swartz is of a vindictive piece with the prosecution of others who have carried important information into the public realm. Front and center is 25-year-old Bradley Manning, the Iraq War enlistee accused of being WikiLeaks's source in the military. The restricted foreign policy documents that Manning allegedly released don't amount to even 1 percent of the 92 million items the government classified last year, but the young private faces life in prison at his court-martial in June for the charge, among twenty-one others, of "aiding the enemy." Then there's Jeremy Hammond, age 28, who in his freshman year at the University of Illinois hacked the computer science department's home page, then told them how they could fix its problem. He got thrown out of school for that; now he's in a federal prison facing thirty-nine years to life, charged with various hacks and leaks (all apparently led by an FBI informant) including the 5 million internal e-mails of Stratfor, a private security firm hired by corporations to surveil private citizens, among other activities.
Barack Obama once campaigned as a friend to whistleblowers. Yet his Justice Department has launched twice as many Espionage Act prosecutions against domestic leakers as all previous administrations combined. One defendant, former National Security Agency official Thomas Drake, resembles an older version of Swartz: a former math and chess prodigy, Drake saw wanton illegality in the NSA's post-9/11 surveillance program. When his internal complaints went nowhere, he went to The Baltimore Sun. The case against Drake crumpled on contact with a courtroom, but it was enough to ruin his career and financial well-being. Drake pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor and now works at an Apple Store when he isn't attending Bradley Manning's court hearings.
Too often the cause of open information is dismissed as a geek fetish, a tedious hobby for the IT crowd. This is a grave error, as the high barriers around information are literally killing us. Larry Korb, former assistant secretary of defense, has told me he doesn't think the Iraq War—endpoint of a debate starved of meaningful information, which has slaughtered hundreds of thousands—would have happened had unredacted intelligence reports been made more public.
Circulation of knowledge is a social justice issue, too. Dean Baker estimates that reforming the patent law regime for pharmaceuticals—currently a system that guarantees Big Pharma's monopolies—would shrink annual spending on prescription drugs from $300 billion to $30 billion, a savings some five times the annual cost of Bush's tax cut for the richest 2 percent. Meanwhile, grotesquely prolonged copyrights for literary and artistic properties are fencing off the cultural commons, a boot on the throat of a generation's creative voice.
Prosecutors have cast activists like Swartz as cyber-terrorist Bond villains. In reality, they are more like earnest variations on Lisa Simpson. Swartz's account of how he got involved with the fight to stop the SOPA/PIPA intellectual property bill in Congress reads like a Capra-esque rhapsody to American democracy. Manning, neck-deep in the worst foreign-policy disaster since Vietnam, hoped his leaks would lead to "worldwide discussion, debates, and reforms" because "without information, you cannot make informed decisions as a public." Jeremy Hammond's rhetoric admittedly tends to the extra-spicy, but many of his alleged misdeeds—revealing corporate spying on ordinary citizens—are a public service. Is getting the truth out really such a bad thing?
To be sure, the truth alone has never been enough to set anyone free. And truth, whether about foreign civilians killed or domestic surveillance programs, is very often the last thing people want. District attorneys know this. Perhaps the greatest tribute to the power of knowledge is the prosecutorial state's panicked attempts to suppress it.
The notion that information should be easy to come by was not cooked up at the annual DefCon hacker conference. It was James Madison who wrote, "Popular Government, without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy; or, perhaps both." In the year 2013, such an Enlightenment cliché should not be sounding radical. (It is only since the summer of 2011 that Washington finished declassifying material from the Madison administration—a lag measured in centuries.)
The death of Aaron Swartz has rallied a small counterattack against the know-nothing state: mild law professors are spitting nails about bullying prosecutors, and the US attorney overseeing the case, Carmen Ortiz, no longer has a bright future in Massachusetts politics. "Aaron's Law," a bill proposed by Representative Zoe Lofgren, would prune the overreaching Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and even right-wing Senator John Cornyn is asking whether the case against Swartz was retaliation for the activist's assertive use of Freedom of Information Act requests.
These are good developments, but they are overshadowed by runaway overclassification, toothless whistleblower-protection laws and an intellectual property regime driven by greed alone. Ignorance enforced by police and prosecutors will not bring us security, wealth or justice.
William F. Baker writes that the FTC's investigation of Google has skirted the issue of the search-engine giant's ability to restrict readers' access to news.

How much more does a spanking hurt if your bottom is bare....if you keep your panties up can you ultimately get the same feeling if the spanking just lasts longer??
There is something intimate about the bare bottom spanking and using an open hand. Once in a while there will be a slight wiff of a pleasant odor. The bare hand and the bare bottom just seem to go together.
Nothing cones close to a bare raised bottom spanking with a hand or a whip. I prefer to be restrained with my bare ass in the air waiting for it. The restraining forces me to submit and not squirm so the lashes are more effective, it brings me to tears whivlcj then get earn me more old fashioned spankings. It's a very effective way of discipline and sometimes a reminder spanking is needed just to make sure I stay in line. The spanking should be swift and merciless preferably followed by a good deep cleansing enema.
I don't think it's a matter of how MUCH more a bare bottom spanking hurts. It's a different quality feeling. There's a certain element of the "sting" which is lost through the material, no matter how thin it is.
Plus, a large part of the erotic component is the hand directly against the skin. Imagine if a guy were to caress a woman wearing a thin cotton glove.
My girlfriend loves spanking. We always do it bare bottomed. I hit her really hard and she just moans with pleasure. I never gave it much thought if it hurts differently while clothed.
We prefer bare bottom. You could use the undies as part of the play or punishment. When the spankee looses them under the knees, the spanking increases in severity ...
wet the seat of the panties and use a otk spanking.
Bare is the way to go. I'm always made to wait in the corner, naked, for about 10 minutes while an implement is fetched. I take it bent over the knee for a paddling and bent over a bed for a caning. After ~50 swats of the paddle and ~20 of the cane, I'm made to wait another several minutes while a 4 qt. crushed ice enema is prepared, which I take in the knee-chest position and hold for 10 minutes. If I expel at all before the 10 minute mark, I receive an additional 20 swats on the bare bottom with the paddle (while holding the enema).
Bare definitely hurts more and it's more embarrassing.
I wouldn't know I've never been allowed to wear panties during a spanking, its always bare bottom..
A little time in the corner first, then a bare bottom spanking (50 strokes) then a 2 qt. enema and back to the corner to hold it. She can have her top on but completely bare from the waist down.
i love a good hard SPANKING Being over MRS L lap expesicially while getting a nice warm
4 qt soapy enema
Bare definitely hurts more and it's more embarrassing. It's the only way I'm spanked these days and I wouldn't have it any other way!
Gotta go bare. Just no comparison. And, of course, it's safer (only very experienced spankers should attempt to spank blind, and, very experienced spankers know better).
Bare bottom is the only way to go. I also prefer a harder spanking rather than a stinging one. It's hard for me to take him seriously or not get aroused if he doesn't do it as it was done to me as a kid. Or if he doesn't pull out his stern voice. I need a bit of humiliation whether it be through his voice, or position, or through him making me cry. Being over his lap, feeling his excitement only makes me excited. However, if he could bend me over his lap and not be excited, then that would probably be a perfect spanking for me, as long as he kept it serious.
Bare always hurts more, as it should. After all, that's the idea, right? Sometimes it depends on the instrument. A heavier one hurts a lot even when clothed, but light ones sting much better on bare flesh.
start with panties on and then to bare bottom spanking with hand than paddle
The process of spanking through clothes, then having layers removed, more spanking, anticipating the sting when it will be bare...pretty hot. I imagine what he sees at each stage, my increased reaction. Love the feel of a hand against the small of my back to keep me still. Slowly increasing the endorphin rush until bare and then well spanked is my preference. ;)
A bare bottom spanking is the only way to go. I'm not really interested in it otherwise.
The little boy in me was acting up big time this morning. I fianlly had enough of his nonsence, I bared his bottom and took the oak paddle to it giving him 150 swats. He was crying and very red, and when I told him he was getting 4 bublbs full of soapy warm water in his tush he cried even more. Every time the nozzel slid into his pink hole, he instinctively pushed back till it went all the way in and its contence shot up his rectum. After a full evacuation he finally calmed down and so far has behaved.
bare definitely hurts more
My mother and her female relatives considered that the most important tools for use in raising boys were the enema bag and the wooden cooking spoon. Even when I hadn't misbehaved, my mother would admonish, "You haven't had a whippin' lately" or "You haven't had a whippin' in a long time" and soon after one would be bestowed on my tender little butt. Enemas were given to the naked little boy, but he retained his pants for the 'whippins'. Later in life, the enema bag and the wooden spoon or paddle became very important tools for controlling the little boy in the grown man who was frequently taken to naughty boys school where he was paddled, then given and enema, the paddled again and finally brought to orgasm to clear his mind.
Was recently spanked over the knee with my bottom bare.. it hurt! But then I was told it was supposed to lol
Standing in a corner with knickers lowered, feeling a cool breeze against your bottom cheeks, knowing very soon that bottom will be on fire. Certainly heightens my senses!
Bare bottomed cornertime followed by a bare bottom spanking otk is definitely a turn on for me!
I love over the knee, bare bottom
I want my punishment spankings to happen after I've been thoroughly restrained. It' such a turn-on just thinking about it. : ) And most definitely on a BARE bottom. Throw a blindfold in there too.... not knowing what's coming is the best part.
Bare hurts more. Old-style nylon briefs are a nice start with her bent over, taking the oak paddle. For the finish, it must be bare bottom. Spraying a mist of water on the target definitely adds to the sting.
I agree, over the knee, bare bottom is the best!
From my own perspective (receiving), a bare bottom is an absolute must. Not only is the effect more intense for a given implement and force, but Mistress gets immediate feedback as well. There are those who advise something between the bottom and a cane, but especially with a cane the effect of each stroke must be visible and duly monitored. Each cane stroke should be offset from the previous one by a half-inch or so; how can you tell with underpants on? An expert Mistress (or Master, if you prefer), can lay down a dozen cane strokes and never hit the exact same spot twice. A caning that serves a serious disciplinary purpose (that is, hard enough to mean business) could easily break the skin if two strokes were one right on top of the other. Get naked... it's best!
Hard to feel like an adult when your bottom is bared and you are over a knee
A bare hand on a bare butt is my favorate way of giving and receiving a spanking.It feels more loving to give flesh on flesh contact.You both share in how it good feels.Like her soft warm hand gently rubbing me on my smarting bottom afterward.Bare bottom hurts more but the pleasure is greater than the pain.

Miami Valley Hospital Among Top Five Percent in Nation for Women's Health
HealthGrades Report: Women's Mortality Risk Forty Percent Lower at Top-Performing Hospitals
(DAYTON, OH) May 3, 2011 – A study released today by HealthGrades, the nation's leading, independent source of physician information and hospital quality ratings, named Miami Valley among the top five percent in the nation for women's health.
Earlier this year, Miami Valley Hospital was named a HealthGrades' Distinguished Hospital for Clinical Excellence for the fifth consecutive year. This prestigious distinction places Miami Valley Hospital among the top five percent of hospitals nationwide for clinical performance. Miami Valley was also ranked number one in Ohio for cardiac surgery by HealthGrades and was among the top five percent in the nation for cardiac services, cardiac surgery, pulmonary and critical care.
The Women's Health study findings are based on an analysis of more than five million Medicare patient records from 2007 to 2009 and focused on 16 procedures and diagnoses. HealthGrades Women's Health in American Hospitals report identified the top-performing hospitals in the nation for women's health and compared women's health outcomes to those of men in two primary areas: cardiac care and bone and joint health. Significant differences in women's treatment and outcomes were found.
"It's quite an honor to be named among the top five percent of hospitals in the nation for women's health," says Bobbie Gerhart, MVH president and CEO. "This study affirms that women in the Dayton region can depend on Miami Valley Hospital for outstanding medical and surgical care." Gerhart adds, "I am extremely proud of our staff and physicians for their continuous commitment to providing excellent care to all our patients and helping to make us the region's leader in healthcare."

How to make a Fall basket with supplies from the Dollar Tree
Recently I headed into my local craft store looking for fun supplies to decorate for Fall. I just love Fall. It's my favorite time of year: the decorating, crisp air, Fall festivals, the baking….it's all just fabulousness.
But when I saw the prices for baskets and decorations at the craft store, I paused. That was a lot for something I was only going to have out for a few months during the year.
So I headed into Dollar Tree next and picked up $10 in supplies to make my own basket. Here's how to do it:
- 1 basket
- 1 round floral arranger (two come in the pack)
- 1 roll of ribbon or you can choose the fake decorative grass
- 7 Fall flowers/leaves
1. Place the round floral arranger inside the basket and begin placing your floral and leaf items into the arranger.
2. Mix and move and arrange them randomly so that you have a nice mixture and there aren't any single big bunches of the same type of flowers and leaves.
3. Next take your ribbon or fake grass, and use it to hide the floral arranger inside the basket.
And voila! You have a beautiful Fall basket arrangement that only cost you a whopping total of $10 from the Dollar Tree. Similar baskets go for $30-$60 at the craft store.
What do you think of this idea? Do you make your own Fall decor items with supplies from Dollar Tree? Tell me about it!

Heaven is a fairy tale, says British physicist Stephen Hawking
Heaven is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark, the eminent British theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking said in an interview published on Monday. Hawking, 69, was expected to die within a few years of being diagnosed with degenerative motor neurone disease at the age of 21, but became one of the world's most famous scientists with the publication of his 1988 book "A Brief History of Time".
"I have lived with the prospect of an early death for the last 49 years. I'm not afraid of death, but I'm in no hurry to die. I have so much I want to do first," he told the Guardian newspaper. "I regard the brain as a computer which will stop working when its components fail. There is no heaven or afterlife for broken down computers; that is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark."
Hawking gave the interview ahead of the Google Zeitgeist meeting in London where he will join speakers including British finance minister George Osborne and Nobel prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz. Addressing the question "Why are we here?" he will argue tiny quantum fluctuations in the very early universe sowed the seeds of human life.

UK Catholics urged to shun meat on Fridays
Britain's Catholics have been urged to make more effort to follow religious custom and abstain from eating meat on Fridays, potentially boosting sales of fish.
Church law required Catholics over the centuries to comply with this abstinence as part of Friday penance, the day set aside for special prayer and fasting to mark the day Jesus died. Traditionally Catholics have opted to eat fish instead, though a combination of new church guidance and changing eating habits has eroded this habit.

Archbishop of Canterbury voices unease over bin Laden killing
The Archbishop of Canterbury, the spiritual head of the 80-million strong Anglican Communion, has said the killing of an unarmed Osama bin Laden left a "very uncomfortable feeling." Rowan Williams said the different versions of events coming out of the White House "have not done a great deal to help here."
Ignore the data, Royal Wedding and sunshine give Britain Plc a Q2 kickstart
A lot of the economic data in recent days has made for pretty grim reading, reinforcing expectations that interest rates will remain at record lows for some months yet.
But a string of bullish updates from British retailers and manufacturers suggest that the second quarter could have got off to a flying start, with fine weather, the Easter holiday and the Royal Wedding all improving the national mood.
from FaithWorld:
Archbishop of Canterbury praises "unpretentious" Kate and William
The Archbishop of Canterbury, who will marry Prince William and Kate Middleton next week, said on Thursday he had been struck by their wedding preparations, describing the couple as courageous and unpretentious. Rowan Williams, spiritual head of the Church of England, praised the couple's "simplicity" and the way they had dealt with the build-up to next Friday's wedding, which is set to be watched by an estimated two billion people worldwide.

U.K. academic says Easter date can now be fixed
The Last Supper took place on a Wednesday -- a day earlier than thought -- and a date for Easter can now be fixed, according to a Cambridge University scientist aiming to solve one of the Bible's most enduring contradictions.
Christians have marked Jesus' final meal on Maundy Thursday for centuries but thanks to the rediscovery of an ancient Jewish calendar, Professor Colin Humphreys suggests another interpretation.
from FaithWorld:
Kate Middleton confirmed ahead of royal wedding
Royal bride-to-be Kate Middleton has been confirmed into the Church of England ahead of her wedding to Prince William this month, his office said on Wednesday. The ceremony, carried out by the Bishop of London Richard Chartres who will give the address at the April 29th wedding, took place on March 10 with Middleton, 29, accompanied by her future husband, a spokeswoman for St James's Palace said.
Libya crisis could scupper British aircraft carriers once and for all
So the world has unfurled a no-fly zone over Libya, apparently undeterred by the lack of Royal Navy aircraft carriers. Judging by the uniforms gracing the steps of 10 Downing Street on Friday and the attacks launched over the weekend, Britain's military top brass haven't been put off either.
The Libya crisis has, until now, provided a platform for the "Save our Aircraft Carriers Campaign" to champion its cause but in the process they've thrown down some whopping red herrings.

Broadbent's BoE appointment keeps hawks in health
Ben Broadbent's appointment to the Monetary Policy Committee ought to dispel any notions that the Bank of England would be left short of hawks after the departure of Andrew Sentance.
A brief look at the history of Reuters polls shows that Goldman Sachs' UK economists – led by Broadbent – were uber-hawkish in their outlook for British interest rates early last year.

British Christian couple loses foster ruling over gays stance
A British Christian couple opposed to homosexuality because of their faith lost a court battle in London on Monday over the right to become foster carers. The couple, who are Pentecostal Christians, had gone to court after a social worker expressed concerns about them becoming respite carers after they said they could not tell a child that a "homosexual lifestyle" was acceptable.
Eunice and Owen Johns, both in their 60s and from Derbyshire in the English midlands, asked judges to rule that their faith should not be a bar to them becoming carers, and that the law should protect their Christian values.

Olfa ~ 35th Anniversary
Did you know the Olfa Rotary Cutter turns 35 this year? Which means I'm actually older than the rotary cutter. I think this gives me some sort of quilter street cred, right? Except that I never actually quilted without using one. I honestly can't imagine creating a quilt without these handy little cutters and I'm guessing most of you feel the same way.
At Quilt Market last Spring I was lucky enough to attend a breakfast with the Olfa team – and we were able to see that original invention. The first one was yellow and everything!
In celebration, Olfa asked me to participate in a project and make a 6-1/2″ quilt block for a big birthday quilt. They sent this very fun box of goodies to use – a mini rotary cutter (I'm told these are great for cutting curves!), a 6-1/2″ frosted quilting ruler, and a spinning cutting mat. I was most excited to try out the cutting mat. I've been eyeing these for quite some time.
These mats are fun because you can place your fabric/block once – trim.
Then spin the mat – trim again. You don't need to pick up your fabric and reposition.
I decided to make my block using 3.5″ flying geese blocks. (Get it – 35th anniversary…3.5″ blocks?) For the background I used some scrappy patchwork which reminds me of the 1970's.
The flying geese are yellow because – well Olfa = Yellow!
Happy 35th Birthday Olfa!

Olfa Splash Rotary Cutter
Last month, Olfa contacted me and asked if I was interested in trying out their new rotary cutter, the Splash. I'm already a huge Olfa fan. Honestly, I didn't even know other companies made rotary cutters until I went to a few conferences and used some in various classes. That just reinforced my love for my Olfa cutter.
I was curious to try this new cutter, not because of the new aqua color (although it is very pretty in my sewing room), but because it has a quick change way to switch out the blade. No screws!
I knew as soon as I saw the cutter though, I was probably going to be a bit challenged using it. I am a creature of habit, and I use the ergonomic cutter. It's the style I've used for the last 4 years.
So…it was hard for me to try a different design. But I know a lot of people do use this style of cutter from Olfa. If you do, you will have no trouble at all.
I did want to try out the blade switch. It was just as easy as they advertised. You just slide down the little yellow latch on the back and magic! The blade removes and can be easily replaced.
My overall thoughts are same great cutter, super pretty color, and now easier blade changing which is a good thing. I'd love to see this feature on the ergonomic cutter too!

Big cities will not be able to control. Mayhem will surface and rule. Hail people like me that will not comply. The politicians will learn that the laws they make will not comply to the people of their country. My country will not comply and will rule again as free men.

Born: April 22, 1919 | Died: July 3, 1989
Bull Moose Jackson's hit records in the 40's and '50's were such lively, good-natured, toe-tappin' tunes that today, over 60 years later, they still draw new fans to the field of Rhythm & Blues. An originator of the Honkers and Shouters era, he was lucky enough to have benefited from a triumphant comeback in his career and enjoy first hand the effect of his music on a new generation of aficionados.
Born in Cleveland in 1919, Benjamin Clarence Jackson took up the saxophone instead of the violin that his parents wanted him to play. He started his first band, The Harlem Hotshots, while he was still in high school, with his friend Freddie Webster. Returning to Cleveland in 1943 after a brief stint in Buffalo, Jackson caught the eye of bandleader Lucky Millinder. It was the musicians in Millinder's band that gave him the unforgettable name Bull Moose. One night while on tour in Texas, the scheduled singer Wynonie Harris didn't show up to sing. Jackson was pulled out of the sax section to croon the song Hurry, Hurry, and a new career was born....

If you haven't heard of this show, the premise is that people get asked seriously personal questions in exchange for some nice coin, hosted by Mark "not marky mark" Walberg. To make sure it's all truthful, they are strapped to a lie detector, and if they lie, they lose all their money. This is the first edition of the show that never got aired.
Mark Walberg: So Joe, you have your mother, your sister, your best friend-
Steve: Word up, Joey!
MW: Shut up. And your girlfriend is here as well
Misty: I love you baby!
MW: You shut up too. This is my show. Ok, on to the first question.
Joe: I'm ready, bring it on.
MW: First question: did you lie about doing your household chores when growing up?
Joe: um yeah
(the crowd erupts as a loud voice says "True")
Joe: Who didn't? I know leslie did it all the time
Leslie: Shut up you jerkwad!
Joe's Mom: I'm so dissappointed in you.
Joe: ok then. Next question please?
MW: Alright, next question: at the last party your fraternity had, did you suspect you best friend of stealing your alcohol?
Steve: C'mon Joey, you know me. I would never do that without asking you man.
Joe: um .. yeah, but I seriously don't mind-
Steve: How could you do this to me. I thought we we're friends man.
(the crowd erupts as the loud voice says "true")
Joe: Dude, I really don't care. What's my casa is your casa as well or something.
Misty: Baby, I never knew you were like this. I'm so shocked you can be this cold.
Joe: What?!
MW: Last question Joe. This one makes the other questions look like childsplay. Do you want to continue?
Joe: The last two were childsplay, so yeah.
MW: Here it is: do you often confuse your girlfriend with that one character fron the Pokemon cartoon series?
Joe: Woah wasn't expecting this one
Leslie: Dude, I haven't thought about that show since I stopped watching it in middle school.
Misty: Who are we taling about now? A character from a cartoon? That's embarassing, honey.
Joe: um yes
Steve: Dude. So nerdy.
(the crowd erupts as the loud voice says "true")
Misty: I'm breaking up with you.
Joe: Please don't baby. I'm so sorry.
Joe's Mom: I'm so dissappointed in you.

OOP and Java may not be for everyone.
-Thinking in Java, 3rd ed, by Bruce Eckel, President, MindView, Inc.
Had to post that because, lately, it seems that everything we Americans (at least) argue about is framed into a debate about right or wrong, black or white, all or nothing. Guns? No restrictions, or ban them all. Gay rights? Live and let live, or eternal damnation. Abortion? My body/my choice, or from conception it's murder.
Anyone in the computer world knows this kind of thinking. The "Mac vs. PC" discussion is never about when to use one, and when to use the other. It is exclusively about which one is best, all the time.
A little deeper into the caverns of the software hermits you can hear debates about object-oriented programming (called, "OOP") versus procedural programming. Never mind what they are (if you don't know). The point is that they are alternatives to one another and, therefore, they have supporters and detractors. And, as with most American debate, each side argues in favor of its own choice, not as better for what it's better at, but as better than the other choice, no exceptions.
The most popular OOP language of our day is Java. Good old C is still the most popular procedural language, with C++ being an OOP language that supports all of C's procedural mechanisms (meaning, I suppose, that you can be rejected by either half of the OOP-vs-procedural debate if you use C++ carefully, and possibly even both, if you try hard). Eckel's book is about OOP and Java, with a slant in favor of communicating with those who might already know procedural techniques. The line above is from the first chapter of his book. It's a mild assertion, at best, allowing for its own truth to be in question ("may" not be for everyone, as opposed to, "is" not for everyone).
In a few quiet words, Mr. Eckel simply acknowledges that he has something to say, not something to sell. He's not an advocate so much as an educator. Learn what you can, do what you will. You just don't see that much today, from anyone who claims they know something you might gain from knowing too. Most of us seem to think that knowledge is also some kind of truth, and that truth compels a sort of mandate. You don't just get to know truth: you must obey truth. Mr. Eckel allows for you to make what use of truth (or, maybe just knowledge, if there's still a difference left) you wish.
With everyone around me trying to shine the light of their own brilliance directly into my ignorant eyes, this bit of illuminated wisdom put them all into the shadows.
Thanks, Bruce. I needed that.

Terras Gauda O Rosal
Sku: 1791574
3 day lead-time required to confirm availability Why?
The flagship wine of the winery, it is a clear demonstration of the benefits of a wise mixture of grape varieties. This wine is elaborated starting from the free-run juices of the native quality varieties from the O Rosal Valley, located on the Galician riverbanks of the Miño River, under the Designation of Origin from Rías Baixas. Its prominent personality is the result of a combination of grape musts from the legendary Albariño variety (approximately 70%) with those of the singular Loureira and Caiño Blanco in the most adequate proportions. The result is a wine with an interesting complex mix of aromas, combining white fruits, orange pips and peel with fresh balsamic notes, supported by subtle floral and mineral hints. It enters the mouth smoothly, progressing toward a pleasant, sticky sweetness, accompanied by fresh, bright acidity, concluding with a fleshy finish in the mouth, long and creamy.

Two years ago, we first caught wind of "Skateistan," a project started by Australian skateboarding enthusiast Oliver Percovich with the aim of giving kids in Kabul, Afghanistan, a new outlet for fun and camaraderie, instead of war-stoked fear.
Now, Percovich's vision has been realized and captured on film in the aptly named documentary "Skateistan: To Live and Skate Kabul," which figures into the lineup for the 2011 Sundance Film Festival. Check out the extended teaser below. —KA

MONTGOMERY – There are three things you can rely on in Montgomery after the November elections: death, taxes and, barring a successful write-in campaign, no changes on city council.
Three seats on Montgomery City Council are up for election Nov. 8, and all the council members who hold them now – and no challengers – have filed to run for the four-year terms that begin in December.
Expected to be re-elected are:
• Gerri Harbison of Pfeiffer Road, currently mayor. She is a licensed Realtor and was first elected to city council in 1999.
• Craig Margolis of Mellon Drive. He is in commercial sales and project management with a carpet and flooring store and was appointed to city council in June 2010.
• Todd Steinbrink of Huntersknoll Court. He provides financial and investment services to clients and has served on city council since 2003.
Terms of the other Montgomery City Council incumbents – Vice Mayor Ken Suer and members Christopher Dobrozsi, Barry Joffe and Lynda Roesch – end in 2013.
City council members decide who serves as mayor and vice mayor.
