A new report from security firm Internet Identity (IID) says that by 2014 cyber-criminals will be able to cause physical harm by hacking into internet-connected devices - taking a cue from the terrorists in TV drama Homeland.
IID says that pacemakers, IV drips, and internet-connected cars could soon be hacked to cause physical harm. The security firm also predicted that near-field Communication (NFC) software will be a prime target for hackers within two years.
The firm's report comes from IID's observations and research into emerging technology trends. According to the report, the world is only a couple of years away from major shifts in cyber attacks.
According to IID vice president of threat intelligence, Paul Ferguson, certain medical devices won't even have to be internet-connected to cause irreparable harm through hacking.
In [some cases] there is not necessarily an internet-connection, per se, but rather potential life-threatening vulnerabilities which can be induced by proximity wireless signals and data," Ferguson told V3.
"There have already been some proof-of-concept hacks on embedded defibrillators, pacemakers, and insulin pumps. In these cases, there needs to be a better QA and security testing regime that is done in the medical device industry."
NFC hacks also look to wreak havoc in 2014. Ferguson says the NFC issues will be caused by faulty NFC software options.
"The security issues surrounding NFC are not so much NFC itself, but rather the poor quality of apps which interface with and leverage the NFC firmware," continued Ferguson.
"We have already seen, most of the first and second-generation apps are chocked full of security vulnerabilities, even without NFC capabilities."
The forecasts for NFC technology come following reports that one in five smartphones will offer NFC by 2014. NFC technology is currently found in smartphones like the LG-built Nexus 4.

As of 12:01 a.m. Thursday morning, the clock will begin ticking on the Houston Rockets and their dreams of contending in the Western Conference.
As first reported by ESPN's Marc Stein, the Dallas Mavericks have stepped in and confirmed Houston's worst nightmare: a three-year, $46 million offer sheet for restricted free agent Chandler Parsons. The deal has a player option for the third year. Once Parsons signs Dallas' offer, the Rockets will have three days to either match or let him go. And what happens in those 72 hours will be critical for more reasons than just Parsons.
Since they're no longer being seriously considered in Carmelo Anthony's free agency decision, the Rockets set their sights on unrestricted free agent Chris Bosh and offered him a max deal. Although Bosh was seriously considering the deal, his preference has been staying with LeBron James and the Miami Heat, so Houston's been put on hold until the King makes his decision.
But now that Dallas has made their offer, Houston will have three days from the moment Parsons signs the offer sheet to sign a big-name free agent like Bosh before matching the offer and going over the salary cap. In order to make the required room, Houston will also have to trade Jeremy Lin.
Parsons not getting more than three years on his deal is helpful, but the Rockets will really have to think long and hard about matching Dallas' offer now. The $15 million per year isn't a problem. Houston chose to make Parsons a restricted free agent this year just so they could keep him, rather than paying him $1 million for this upcoming season and letting him become an unrestricted free agent next summer. But if the Rockets are serious about signing Bosh to a max deal, that decision may mean they end up missing out on Parsons, because adding Bosh just got a lot more challenging.
I think the Rockets definitely match. The challenge now becomes getting a deal done with Bosh on time…
— Brian Geltzeiler (@hoopscritic) July 9, 2014
For the Mavs, this is a great move. No offense to Vince Carter or Shawn Marion and all their veteran contributions this past year, but at age 24, Parsons has a lot more ahead of him and is coming off a season in which he averaged 16.6 points, 5.5 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game while shooting 47 percent from the floor and 37 percent from three-point range.
The Mavericks have already bolstered their frontcourt by reuniting Tyson Chandler with Dirk Nowitzki and will attempt to make a few more Western Conference playoff runs with Dirk entering his twilight years soon. The Mavs could use some depth, shooting and versatility on the wing and Dallas would be getting him at a pretty good price, especially considering what the Charlotte Hornets offered Gordon Hayward.
This move is a bit of a risky one on both sides. The Rockets are now forced to finalize things with Chris Bosh in 72 hours after Parsons signs the offer sheet or they could lose out on Parsons. For the Mavs, this would be a bargain price if Houston chooses not to match, but Dallas could be tied up for three days and miss out on other free agents in the process.

Home Remedy And Basic Skin Regimen
When it comes to home remedies for acne, there are different things that you can do. Home remedy includes the purchase of cosmetics. It is important to not be afraid to hide blemish with flesh tinted cover-ups or even foundation, as long as it is water-based. The cosmetic being water-based make it nonceomedogenic. There are different quality products available for you to use. Another home remedy is Facials. Even though it is not absolutely essential that streaming and deep-cleaning pores is useful, both on its own and by adding medical treatments.
This remedy can be found to be useful for people who have whiteheads or blackheads. However, sometimes it might be best for you to let a professional unclogged all these pores. Because, it reduces the temptation of doing it yourself. There is one remedy that is useful for treating acne, and this is pore strips. Pharmacies nowadays are currently carrying strips that you can use on your nose, forehead, and chine and so on to pull out oil from your pores. These strips are under a variety of brand names. These strips are perfect tools that take effect in a do-it-yourself facial. They are cheap, safe, and work efficiently if they are properly used.
There is one popular home remedy, and that is the usage of toothpaste. People that uses this toothpaste as a remedy use it by putting some of it on zits. There is no need for medical basis for this. There are basic skin regimens that can help with battling acne. You can easily do so, by cleansing twice a day with a 5% benzoyl peroxide wash. However, if it happens that you are allergic to benzoyl peroxide, then it is suitable to choose using 2% salicylic acid. Another good thing that you can do is applying a gel or cream that contain 5% benzoyl peroxide.
However, if for some reasons, you cannot use the benzoyl peroxide, then the alternatives are either sulfur or resorcinol. It is a good home remedy for you to spend some time of your night to apply a spot cream that have sulfur as an ingredient on the affected areas. Another good home remedy is using a light skin moisturizer and water-based makeup. All these home remedy are basic, and depends on what kind of acne you are trying to treat. It is not recommended for you to avoid going to a skin specialists when the situation calls for it.

RV Park and Campground Discussions
RV Park Discussions
Aug 16 2004, 09:42 PM
Did a search on this CG. Can't find much. It's really called Wolfie's Family Kamping (I think). It's in Zanesville, Ohio. Looking for something, with full hook-up's, as close to the Longaberger Homestead as I can get. Anyone stayed at Wolfie's? Know of anything better, or closer, to Longaberger? I can't even find a web site for them. Thanks...
Aug 16 2004, 10:08 PM
The Lazy R Campground in Granville is a good place to stay. Very close to Newark and the "Big Basket" office building. The folks at Lazy R are very nice and they are really working hard to make it a nice place to stay.
Aug 17 2004, 09:08 AM
- I am not familiar with the area at all. How close is the CG you mentioned to the Longaberger Homestead?
P.S. I found their web site, and it says they are now called Lazy River at Granville (formerly Lazy R)!

SOrry to be a bit late with this but I was at the beach for a week and had not internet....We have stayed at Wolfies in Zanesville when we visit longaberger basket and the village of Dresden. It is a nice CG and has nice sites but not much in the way of amenities. We had full hookups and were on the top loop and have stayed in the lower pullthrus as well. If you are going for a CG this os not it if you are looking for a nice friendly place to stay tis will do nicely. There are a number of seasonals there but they are not rundown for the most part and the CG hosts and new owners are great.

Yes, we have stayed at Wolfie's Campground in Zanesville, Ohio. In fact, we stay there frequently, as I was born and raised in Zanesville. I just posted a review of Wolfie's, as I think it is an excellent campground. It's way up on a hill overlooking the Muskingum River and is neat as a pin. New owners took over in November of 2003, and they are really trying hard to bring the park up to snuff. They keep it nicely mowed and landscaped. Now, there are quite a few people who live here for long periods, highway workers and the like, so there aren't a ton of sites available, especially on summer weekends. But it's still very nice and we recommend it highly.

windows 7 home premium 32 bit
re a problem with unpluging and pluging in the headphones
I have a Gateway model MD2614U laptop os Windows 7 home 32bit. When I unplug the headphones to use the internal speakers sometimes the laptop will switch over and sometimes it won't. When it won't switch over. I open the volumes control window and I can see the green bar going up and down with the audio source but there is no sound coming out. I have to end up closing down the program that is producing the sound then the switch over will complete and I restart the program. I also have the same problem when I plug the headphones back in, again no sound from the headphones even though I see the green bar moving. Also some programs that send and receive audio over the internet will lock up when I unplug or plug in ether the headphones and or the microphone. Does anyone have any ideas on this problem?

right click the speaker icon on the taskbar and select playback devices,
when you see the headphones with the green bar, try setting them as default .
(click on them to highlight them and then click set default then click apply then OK)
hopefully when you unplug them your sound will revert back.

Day One Hundred and One
(via vortex-xx)
So I skipped a few posts. I fell behind a bit, in more ways than one. This summer I set out to grow as an actress and as an adult, choosing to live alone in the city. Scroll through the archive of this blog and you'll find a picture of my thigh and my palms covered in very severe road rash. On the third day after I moved back to the city I crashed on my rollerblades while heading to the grocery store. It may sound like a few light scratches, but it was two weeks of constant pain that I learned to live and sleep with. I couldn't job hunt in the city let alone work, so I went back home. And a month later I was fine, but still had no job and a lot of rent money to pay, so I went back to my old job here in my small town.
And between you and I I feel like a huge failure. No one else even sees it that way, but I've got big plans for my life. I can't get stuck here in this small town. I need to be in the city where I actually have opportunities to fulfill my dreams.
But I'm trying to learn how to make the best of all this. I know I will eventually have my chance for greatness. I'm still heading into school this September for my second year in the acting and voice program at seneca, and I'm stoked. I was just hoping to do so much more with my summer. Get some acting jobs on my resume, because I'm not allowed to do work outside school from September to April.
But I just need to slow down. Work with what I've got where I am, and keep dreaming.
Day Seventy Seven: This Is 40.
For one, I love both the main characters. I would watch anything Paul Rudd is in.
Leslie Mann will always be Erica from George of the Jungle for me. Anyways.. that's for another movie review. Although it probably didn't have to be as long as it is, but it's so funny. I wish they had incorporated Seth Rogen and Katherine Heigl because it's supposed to be a 'brother film' to Knocked Up.
Day Seventy Six : Haven't done Yoga in a while and I have no idea why.
Just a quick 15 minute routine and I'm feeling so refreshed and so ready for my day. I need to make this a daily occurrence again.
Day Seventy Five: This movie was on my list of must-sees. And after finally watching it, of course I can see why.
Hilary Swank is so brilliant in this. This role would be so difficult and crazy to prepare for as an actor.
Perhaps knowing how gorgeous she is and knowing that she can be very feminine in different roles, it took me awhile to buy that she was playing a boy. But getting deeper into the movie I totally believed she was a boy trapped in a girl's body. Her and Chloe create really beautiful chemistry, and I'm so glad no one ever managed to turn the girlfriend against Brandon at any point in the film, it would've been even mooooore heart-breaking.
And then at the end of the film, of course I make the discovery that it's a true story, which makes it even more heart-breaking. But I'm glad they made a film about it to open up people's eyes to these issues of hate. People deserve to be treated equally regardless of gender.
So the previous link that I posted is to a short film a great director made that I had the chance of meeting and auditioning for recently. I auditioned for a new short film he's directing called 'Circle Park' and I'm really hoping to get the part and slowly but surely add to my filming experience. So excited!
Check out http://shatteredbricks.com! Home
Day Seventy Three:
It looks like I've finally made a small breakthrough into the filming world of Toronto :)
I am very excited to announce that I got emailed about participating as a background actor in this film run by an independent film company called Shattered Brick Productions.
It's a sci-fi drama type flick, and I'm supposed to dress up as a 'futuristic goth'. SO SO SO excited. I've been dancing around the house because I can't even contain my excitement :)
Day Seventy Two: The Craigslist Killer
SO good, and based on a true story.

Price: $36
Brand: Sebastian Professional
What is it: Conditioner
Want it?:SHOP IT!
First review:
"Maybe it's the fickle weather or maybe my hair has just decided to be extra cheeky of late. Either way, my hair has been prone to extreme fuzziness and breakage and quite frankly I'm ready to shave it all off in protest (har har!). But wait...a solution? Could it be? Yes, beauty peeps. Sebastian Professional Conditioner has genuinely tamed my frizz-ball to ultimate shine and nourished my locks grandly. Coupled with a treatment which I've been using twice weekly, as well as Sebastian Professional Colour Lock Shampoo, this has been the best hair drink my tresses could possibly have. I've noticed slight more volume and bounce and strangely enough, my hair is easier to tame minus a teasing comb and masses of hair spray.
A fantastic quality salon brand product worthy of its esteemed reputation!"
Would you buy it? Definitely

How reliable is a Wikipedia citation?
Off the Beat: Bruce Byfield's Blog
"I don't trust it," someone wrote when Wikipedia and its reliability was discussed on Facebook recently. One or two others added that, for them, a Wikipedia citation immediately discredited an article. I was surprised by these old school sentiments, having imagined that familiarity had years ago blunted contempt, and Wikipedia now had at least a reluctant acceptance.
Not that Wikipedia hasn't had its share of dubious episodes, with contributors accepting payment, and editing wars that can change the reliability of an entry from hour to hour. At times, the conflicts have become so heated that some entries have to be protected, so that just anyone with a grudge or a need for self-justification couldn't edit them.
Moreover, even when such controversies aren't involved, the usefulness of Wikipedia varies wildly. Some articles are frankly listed as stubs, acknowledging that they are worth a proper article, but that no one has got around to them yet. The value of other articles depends very much on who writes them.
Clearly, crowd-sourcing an encyclopedia is not the magic solution that early enthusiasts imagined. Still, while acknowledging that fact, I also have to add that neither is single authorship.
The user and the source
When I was in high school, I had access to several leading encyclopedias, including the Americana and the Britannica. In my earlier grades, I had found all of them highly addictive; looking up a single topic regularly lead to hours reading adjacent topics.
However, shortly before I graduated, I did a report on political theories. I knew little about political theory, yet even in my inexperience I couldn't help noticing that the articles in some of them were less than even-handed when discussing topics like socialism or feminism. While the articles weren't so heavy handed as some of the books from the 1950s that showed charts comparing how long average Soviet and American citizens needed to work to buy certain consumer items, the tone was hostile, and there was a noticeable lack of arguments in favor of some political theories.
Even at the time, I thought this bias moderately heavy-handed. Now, I consider it irresponsible. I imagine that a more neutral approach might have damaged sales to schools in conservative parts of the United States, but I still expect people writing educational tools to have some dedication to truth. But I concluded that even the hiring of experts and copy editors did not necessarily make an article written by one or two people trustworthy -- any more than such working precautions can make Wikipedia reliable today.
Wikipedia does do some things well. If you want an explanation of a past or present meme, like "all your base are belong to us" or the use of "Not!" at the end of a statement, I know of no better source. You can also count on Wikipedia for episode by episode coverage of Buffy and other popular television shows, even if the summaries are sometimes so literal-minded that they are frequently beside the point and unintentionally humorous.
Entries about free software technologies and their developers also tend to reliable, possibly because free software advocates are used to the idea of contributing to group projects. In fact, when writing articles, I frequently cite Wikipedia as a handy link so that I can use a technical term without more than a few words of definition. Without such a source, the narrative of many of my articles would be far more digressive.
However, even in these cases, I am careful to compare the citations I am about to use against my own knowledge. When I don't trust my own knowledge, I check the recent history of the article to see if I recognize the Wikipedia contributors who wrote it, and check the facts against other online sources. As for other topics, the less I know, the more careful I look for other articles on the same subject.
Sometimes, of course, other articles are not enough. One of the downsides of free licenses is that many sites copy and paste their information directly from Wikipedia. For example, thanks to a Wikipedia typo, on countless sites a local First Nations story has Raven's brother conjuring up a giant frog for him to get lost in,m instead of a giant fog.
However, the point is, before citing, I would do exactly the same thing for any other encyclopedia -- in fact, for any source that I was considering using. Writers are responsible for the reliability of their sources, and should not assume reliability to save themselves work, although I'm sure that both Wikipedia and Britannica online do their best to eliminate errors, given the resources available to them. If I use a source that proves unreliable, the fault is entirely mine.
In other words, how Wikipedia articles are written is beside the point. What matters is their reliability, just as it is for any other source. If anything, studies over the years suggest that Wikipedia is at least as reliable as other encyclopedias, and sometimes more so. In cases where it is unreliable, the failure is not the nature of Wikipedia, but the irresponsibility of the writer who used a source without checking it. In this respect, Wikipedia is no different from any other potential source.comments powered by Disqus

Helo Pilot Saves Firefighter in Oregon Blaze
A Department of Homeland Security (DHS) report obtained by AIN through the agency's safety management system details how a Bell 205A1++ pilot (name withheld) supporting Oregon's Pole Creek fire-suppression efforts on September 28 saved another firefighter who became trapped by the blaze.
"The downed trees that had not burned were now igniting, and the heat was intense," the pilot reported. "I monitored [my ground contact's] position along the fire's edge watching for his orange tarp." The winds shifted and picked up speed. "I told him I had only 30 minutes of fuel. I made two more [water] drops into the area, but the fire was so intense I was having little effect," the pilot's report continued.
"My contact was now within 500 feet of the face of the raging fire. I could see the waves of heat actually shimmering. A 200- to 300-yard wide wall of trees ignited and then lit the next row of trees. My ground contact centered in this wall…was in grave danger. The fire was moving much faster than he was with no way out. [I realized] the fire would have been on him before I could attempt another bucket drop. I saw a small opening in the trees to hover without damaging the helicopter and lowered the bucket thinking we had only a few seconds or minutes left. I am sure he could feel the fire, because I certainly could. He climbed into the bucket and I lifted it and him, flying north, perhaps one-quarter mile to an open area. I carefully lowered the bucket to the ground and he got out and walked to the nearby trail. I looked back at the spot where I'd picked him up and it was fully torched."

Primal Grinds and Mixes
Why are some Primal products in chub form?
Primal offers two different types of chubs. We have our Grinds and our Mixes. Think of the mixes and grinds as tools in your raw feeding program. Each offers something a little different, to compliment and supplement our complete diet formulas.
What are the differences between Grinds & Mixes?
Primal Grinds are a combination of muscle meat, organ meat and ground bone. They do not contain any produce. Primal Mixes are a combination of the muscle meat, organ meat, ground bone and they have the addition of fresh, organic produce. Neither the Mix, nor the Grind contain our added natural supplements. Both are labeled for supplemental feeding only.
Why would I want to add in a product that is intended for supplemental feeding only?
By adding both the Grinds and Mixes into your feeding program you can achieve two very important benefits. First of all, both are available in protein sources not offered in our complete formulas. By adding in more protein varieties, you will increase the benefits of a rotational diet, and give your pet a diet which most closely mimics a diet in the wild. The second, very important benefit is cost. The Grinds and Mixes are available in both a 2# and 5# chub. Because of the differences in production needs, the costs of these chubs are significantly less than that of the complete diets. You can supplement 15-20% of your pet's total diet with the Grinds and Mixes and save on your budget, while elevating your pet's health. For example, feed a bag or two of the nuggets or patties, and then feed a chub, then another bag of the nuggets.
I am used to the convenience of the nuggets and patties. How will I managed a 2-pound chub?
It is actually very easy to manage once you break it down into smaller portions. First partially thaw the chub in cool water till it is just soft enough to saw through. You can use either a serrated knife, or a small hack saw. Take the two pounds and cut it in half. Now you have two, one pound pieces. Cut these in half, now you have four half pound pieces, and so on. By doing this, you basically make your own portioned feedings. Separate the newly sized portions into ziplock baggies and refreeze till needed. This works equally as well on the five pound chubs. Once you start incorporating the chubs into your pet's diet, you will find it not only beneficial and cost effective, but also easy.

What me and the guys drank last night, lolololo it was a good fucking night
what started off as an innocent glass of wine turned into something more. haha. two glasses of wine.
not yet, i'm almost done with the 2nd one
i'm such a lightweight
but that is nice because i conserve alcohol
not that it matters because my parents are alcoholics
and there is always alcohol on the premisis. i'm going to write a haiku now
jand wait
updaate: i'm done with the 2nd one
yeah buddy
all i can think about is marijuana
is this good or bad
i want to get stoned
i don't want to be dependent on a fracking substance, but omfg, i love getting high
the main problem is money- i mean, if i had the money, i'd always have a huge stash of ganja, but i don't have money and it's Christmas, i'm like, do i spend money on presents or weed…
tough question, what's the answer?
i got stoned and then went shopping; everybody wins,
I don't know. I'm kind of sad… disappointed… I'm not sure exactly which emotion I'm feeling. Maybe if I write a little bit it will make me feel better. Who knows?
I do know that I don't have any plans or anything to do. This is what makes me feel bad. School is done now for a month so homework is…
actually i decided to use that thing i said earlier",recreational activities",and now i feel good

Full design/layout for the forthcoming United 12" by Yalls. Really happy with how this came out, love being able to take an idea and execute it all the way through. Pre-order the record here.
Full design/layout for the forthcoming United 12" by Yalls. Really happy with how this came out, love being able to take an idea and execute it all the way through. Pre-order the record here.
Check out a couple brand new collaborative tracks by the extra talented Yalls and the great Squadda B. Nice works by the folks at DreamCollabo making this happen.
The new Yalls album drops on 5/6/14!
A new Yalls track has recently been released into the wild, listen to "Lifestylist" below. It's a burbling, tranquil trip - and we love it. Look out for a new Yalls LP in early 2014, and grab the Fantasy 7" right here.

Gold Robot just got the "labeled" treatment by the fine folks over at IMPOSE Magazine. Read about how the label started and where we're headed. We also put together a new sampler of recent tracks for you to stream if you're not familiar with the sounds coming out of the label. Thanks for everyone's support over the years!
Finally, we're able to announce a new LP by Meanest Man Contest! Everything worth mentioning drops on 10/29 as a limited pressing of 250 12" records on white vinyl. Pre-order it here!
"Merit, the 2003 debut from California duo Meanest Man Contest, remains an underrated collection of DJ Shadow-indebted instrumental hip-hop that contains a seductive darkness inside its psychedelic tapestries. A decade later, Noah Blumberg and Eric Steuer are back with Everything Worth Mentioning, out October 29th via Gold Robot, and those familiar with Merit might be thrown for a loop by the first single, "In the Dark", which is more tear-stained electro-pop than anything that approaches good ol' boom-bap— but it still retains the DIY bedroom charm of their older material. "Do you ever think of me in the dark?", dolorous vocals ask as they're stretched across a woozy bed of synths; elsewhere, guitars shimmer like rays of mid-morning light, giving our first taste from Meanest Man Contest's return a bittersweet flavor." - Pitchfork
Our good friend Dan Casey (aka Yalls) recently re-named his solo guitar-centric project and announced the debut album Empty City. The record will drop in October on the very excellent Ceremony Recordings. In addition to premiering the lead single on NPR's All Songs Considered, he also spoke with IMPOSE about the project. We have all heard bits and pieces of demos over the past year, but let me promise you that this is an album you won't want to miss.

Reported Christian 'martyr' deaths double in 2013: report
LONDON (Reuters) - Reported cases of Christians killed for their faith around the world doubled in 2013 from the year before, with Syria accounting for more than the whole global total in 2012, according to an annual survey.
Open Doors, a non-denominational group supporting persecuted Christians worldwide, said on Wednesday it had documented 2,123 "martyr" killings, compared with 1,201 in 2012. There were 1,213 such deaths in Syria alone last year, it said.
"This is a very minimal count based on what has been reported in the media and we can confirm," said Frans Veerman, head of research for Open Doors. Estimates by other Christian groups put the annual figure as high as 8,000.
The Open Doors report placed North Korea at the top of its list of 50 most dangerous countries for Christians, a position it has held since the annual survey began 12 years ago. Somalia, Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan were the next four in line.
The United States-based group reported increasing violence against Christians in Africa and said radical Muslims were the main source of persecution in 36 countries on its list.
"Islamist extremism is the worst persecutor of the worldwide church," it said.
Christianity is the largest and most widely spread faith in the world, with 2.2 billion followers, or 32 percent of the world population, according to a survey by the U.S.-based Pew Forum on religion and Public Life.
It faces restrictions and hostility in 111 countries, ahead of the 90 countries limiting or harassing the second-largest faith, Islam, another Pew survey has reported.
Michel Varton, head of Open Doors France, told journalists in Strasbourg that failing states with civil wars or persistent internal tensions were often the most dangerous for Christians.
"In Syria, another war is thriving in the shadow of the civil war -- the war against the church," he said while presenting the Open Doors report there.
About 10 percent of Syrians are Christians. Many have become targets for Islamist rebels who see them as supporters of President Bashar al-Assad.
Nine of the 10 countries listed as dangerous for Christians are Muslim-majority states, many of them torn by conflicts with radical Islamists. Saudi Arabia is an exception but ranked sixth because of its total ban on practicing faiths other than Islam.
In the list of killings, Syria was followed by Nigeria with 612 cases last year after 791 in 2012. Pakistan was third with 88, up from 15 in 2012. Egypt ranked fourth with 83 deaths after 19 the previous year.
The report spoke of "horrific violence often directed at Christians" in the Central African Republic but said only nine deaths were confirmed last year because "most analysts still fail to recognize the religious dimension of the conflict."
The report had no figures for killings in North Korea but said Christians there faced "the highest imaginable pressure" and some 50,000 to 70,000 lived in political prison camps.
"The God-like worship of the rulers leaves no room for any other religion," it said.
There was now "a strong drive to purge Christianity from Somalia," the report added, and Islamist attacks on Iraqi Christians have been increasing in the semi-autonomous Kurdish north, formerly a relatively safe area for them.
Veerman, based near Utrecht in the Netherlands, said that killings were only the most extreme examples of persecutions. Christians also face attacks on churches and schools, discrimination, threats, sexual assaults and expulsion from countries.
Open Doors, which began in the 1950s smuggling Bibles into communist states and now works in more than 60 countries, estimated last year that about 100 million Christians around the world suffered persecution for their faith.
(Additional reporting by Gilbert Reilhac in Strasbourg; Editing by Larry King)
"In the last days people will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God—having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them." – 2 Timothy 3:2-5
"Teacher," they asked, "when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are about to take place?" Jesus replied: "Watch out that you are not deceived. For many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am he,' and, 'The time is near.' Do not follow them. 9 When you hear of wars and uprisings, do not be frightened. These things must happen first, but the end will not come right away." Then he said to them: "Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven. "But before all this, they will seize you and persecute you. They will hand you over to synagogues and put you in prison, and you will be brought before kings and governors, and all on account of my name. And so you will bear testimony to me. But make up your mind not to worry beforehand how you will defend yourselves. For I will give you words and wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict. You will be betrayed even by parents, brothers and sisters, relatives and friends, and they will put some of you to death. Everyone will hate you because of me. 18 But not a hair of your head will perish. 19 Stand firm, and you will win life." – Luke 21:7-19

The Academy vs. the HumanitiesSIR FRANK KERMODE
AS a retired professor of English who now and again returns to teaching, I am aware that the work I try to do with my students has less and less in common with what is going on in adjacent classrooms. I regret being out of step, but it is too late to break the habits of a lifetime, and in any case I cannot believe that they are bad habits.
For it may well happen that students will keenly disapprove of the known politics or religion of a writer, or seek to discover in his or her work hidden senses of which it might be equally proper to disapprove; and such prejudices may well prevent their actually loving what they read. But they need to learn that excellent poetry may — in fact, almost always must — express political, religious, or social convictions they cannot share. If that were not so, we could not read Homer or Dante or T. S. Eliot or Ezra Pound without experiencing constant disagreement, tedium, or even disgust. And I must say that it is an enlivening experience to watch a group of intelligent young people habituating themselves to a poet who offers them very little in the way of instant gratification, to see them thinking through a poem for its own sake, without prejudice. Soon their interests may be widened in scope; they may need to find out more about quaint George Herbert, may even want to ask whether and how quaint Emily Dickinson, who is known to have copied out part of one of his poems, was affected by the English poet. Affection and respect for poetry spread by such means. But first must come the recognition of a certain admirable mastery and the perception of some benefit in recognizing it. As to whether students share Herbert's Anglican piety or deplore Yeats's flirtation with fascism, these should be secondary considerations; the direct experience of poetry is what will enrich them. For pedagogues to argue, as in various ways they do, that the political bearing of a work of literature is the most important thing about it — or that it ought first to be studied as just another document in some historical power negotiation — is, in my view, a subversion of their calling.

I recently signed up for an online course. The course consisted of 4
parts which collectively totaled around $2,800.00. The registration was
conducted online. A recruiter from said online course walked me through
the online registration over the phone. At the end I had to type my
name and check a box stating that i had signed electronically.
After a month of being in this course I realized that it was a scam.
2800.00 plus the cost of the 4 books (around 50.00 a piece). They wanted
3,000.00 for this course of which the only directions the course gave
me were to read the chapters in the book, and then complete the chapter
review questions which were located in the book. I could have just
bought the books for 50 bucks a piece and gotten the same results.
I withdrew myself from the course 40 days after signing up. The people
then told me over the phone that I owe them half the tuition for
withdrawing early. They stated that in the contract, there is a penalty
for early withdrawal if I didn't withdraw within 30 days of sign-up. I
argued with them that they never provided me with a hard copy of said
contract that I could review at a later date.
Will this electronic signature hold up in court?

Land Ho!'s Horny Seniors Never Quite Charm

Andrew Niccol keeps making the same movie over and over again and dressing it in slightly different clothes: the sleek charcoal Hugo Boss grays of Gattaca, the crisp Crayola hues of The Truman Show, and now the silk-and-satin Hollywood resplendency of Simone. Niccol, writer and director, is obsessed with a single notion -- where does reality end and illusion begin, and does it really matter? His characters are just different numbers plugged into the same equation. Only the solution changes, and not by much. As one of his characters says, "Our ability to manufacture fraud now exceeds our ability to detect it." It's a line from Simone, though it fits into any of Niccol's screenplays.
Niccol's characters are never who they appear to be on the surface. They're illusions, shams -- and, worst of all, metaphors intended only to serve Niccol's stale agenda. In 1997's Gattaca, Ethan Hawke, a genetic "In-Valid," paid a fortune to assume Jude Law's identity in order to achieve his dream of working in outer space; they even shared skin scrapings to fool the DNA goon squad. In The Truman Show a year later, Jim Carrey believed himself to be a resident of a coastal paradise, though in "reality" his entire life was a fraud -- a prime-time, made-for-TV existence. Now in the comedy Simone, Niccol presents us with one more show-biz fiction: the actress who's made not of flesh and blood, but of ones and zeroes -- a malleable model who's all code and subject to the whims of her programmer. Simone doesn't exist, yet she's the biggest star in Hollywood -- one more false idol in a town of phony prophets (or is that profits?).
Simonehas been gathering dust on a shelf for a year, and in that time its premise has been torn to shreds by the likes of Final Fantasy: The Spirit Within, the animated video-game adaptation that bombed at the box office. Turns out audiences like their actors real, not approximated. And Simoneis hardly the first film to deal with the manufacturing of movie stars. It's little more than A Star Is Bornfloating through cyberspace, Celebritystreamed over a computer monitor. That Simone is played by a real actress, newcomer Rachel Roberts (coyly uncredited in the press notes), only further dulls the point and dilutes the message. Of course the audience will flip over her: She's a real person, and a real pretty one.
That's not to say Simone doesn't offer a good time. Shove aside its self-righteous agenda and it's a deft kick, a light comedy whenever it's not trying to play heavy. And it's bolstered by Al Pacino in a lively performance that doesn't require him to underscore every line with a yowl and every gesture with a spasm. As Viktor Taransky, a washed-up director who's been fired from the studio by his ex-wife (Catherine Keener), Pacino looks beat to hell but feels more alive onscreen than he has in years. Unlike Robert De Niro -- who looks embarrassed whenever he's trying to make an audience laugh, like someone who knows he's pandering -- Pacino seems to enjoy farce; he's having a good time, perhaps because he knows there's nothing at stake here, that at its best Simoneis little more than a one-note joke he'll keep ringing till its echo dissipates. Or maybe he's become such a parody we can no longer tell the difference whether he's doing comedy or drama.
Niccol cast Pacino because the writer-director believed his mere presence would accentuate the joke, lend weight to the trivial; he believed it is enough to just have a great actor denouncing Hollywood's "irrational allegiance to flesh and blood." But it's lazy moviemaking, because the film never transcends its thesis. It's all joke, no punch line. And you get the movie's intentions fifteen minutes in, around the time Taransky introduces his new star -- she "replaces" a petulant actress, played by Winona Ryder without a hint of self-parody, in a film called Sunrise, Sunset-- and is greeted at the studio's gates by throngs of worshippers bearing placards that read "One Nation Under Simone."
Taransky makes Simone a star, a magazine cover girl, and idol to screaming millions. She's made in the image of a thousand movie stars before her -- she's a literal hodgepodge -- but says nothing till Taransky speaks into a microphone. In turn Simone makes him a viable, valuable commodity once more. Got it: They created each other, more or less.
By the time Taransky puts Simone on a stage performing "You Make Me Feel Like a Natural Woman" to thousands of cheering simpletons who have no clue they're honoring a digital mirage, the movie loses all shape. We've been here before, in fiction and in fact -- what, after all, is Britney Spears in concert if not a digitally enhanced, augmented, counterfeited, and fabricated reproduction of a human being? So, let's see: Audiences are suckers, and movies aren't real. No, really?

about how ATM is good because it helps prevent failures at the IP
That only works when there's enough reserve bandwidth out there in the
ATM 'cloud' to reroute failed PVCs. You'd think that they would
diversely route their ATM trunks.
Maybe they turned auto-reroute off...
