6tag leaks your account data, stores your private videos
Windows Phone developer Rudy Huyn released his unofficial Instagram clone app called 6tag today. And while I would love to take this moment to clear up misconceptions about how the app works and Huyn's involvement (or lack thereof) with Instagram, I must defer to another day. That's because I must, instead, share some important privacy concerns uncovered by Windows Phone developer Travis La Marr this morning.
6tag sends account data in the clear
To support video uploads, 6tag emulates the way Instagram's official apps work. That is, video is uploaded from the device to intermediate servers for transcoding into a compatible format and size, one step before Instagram. But where 6tag differs is that it sends your private account data -- for example, your username and authentication tokens -- in the clear, along with your video, to a black box server in France (presumably under the author's control) in preparation for a future app update. That means, in theory, a determined individual at a Starbucks armed with a sniffer could take over your Instagram account easy peasy.
Update 2 8/22 @ 4:22am PST: Rudy, via Twitter, has indicated cookies will now be encrypted with a "512-bit key" in a future update.
But wait, there's more...
6tag servers keep a copy of your public and private videos, for an unspecified amount of time
6tag's transcoding servers understandably keep uploaded video around for a little bit, giving the phone app time to grab a copy. What's concerning, however, is that uploaded video never seems to get deleted. For example, here's a permalink to a video I published on Instagram hours ago. And here's a video Travis published over a week ago. Yikes.
Update 1 8/22 @ 3:46am PST: Rudy, via Twitter, has confirmed that his server does not remove videos after publishing to Instagram, instead relying on an undocumented 48 hour retention policy. When asked about Travis' week old video, he noted that video was uploaded via the beta, implying they're special, and that beta videos will be wiped "in less than 48h". Travis' video went dark soon after.
6tag doesn't have a privacy policy
Against Windows Phone App Certification Policy 2.8, 6tag does not come bundled with a privacy policy, or at least one I could find. This means users have no clue what data is sent to Instagram or black box servers in France, nor an understanding of how private user data is handled, protected, or destroyed. How this got through Windows Phone Store testing is beyond me.
Update 3 8/23 @ 3:40pm PST: A new privacy policy is up.

2 tablespoons
chopped fresh oregano
1 tablespoon
ground cumin
2 teaspoons
ground ancho chile pepper
2 teaspoons
2 teaspoons
ground black pepper
olive oil
1 tablespoon
white wine vinegar
1 (3 pound)
boneless pork loin roast
lime, cut into wedges
Loved the recipe! My husband asked for me to save this one "it's a keeper"! I substituted dried oregano for fresh and used only 1/2 as much; used regular chili powder instead of ancho chile pepper; redwine vinegar instead of white wine vinegar and added a splash of margarita mix. I cooked a 5 lb. pork loin roast so doubled all ingredients. It made it's own wonderful broth. I also ran out of time so cooked on HIGH for 4-5 hours. It was very tender and I served in slices rather than chunks. This was very easy to prepare and my company and family loved it. I placed leftovers in individual containers and froze them for my husband to take in his lunch...he LOVES it!
Great recipe. However, no true Boricua would cook a pernil without the bone and skin left intact to make chicharrone. As a personal preference- I don't cover any of my meats. I simply slow cook this piece of pork (skin side up)in a standard conventional oven at 325 for 1 1/2 hrs every 10 lbs. Marinate with adobo, sofrito, fresh garlic cloves, and sazon at least 8 hrs before cooking. Watch how tender and moist this well seasoned traditional meat will be. The crisp skin will be an added treat to savor.

ZERO STARS!!! BIG, BIG disappointment! Just made this last week, I ended the cooking in the oven because the meat was still raw at the end of 4 hrs cooking. After cooking in the oven for two hours, the meat was dry. I am old fashion Latin person and I am used to the old fashion way of roasting pork: At my house ALL meats are quickly rinsed with lemon juice BEFORE preparing to cook (do not leave the juice on too long otherwise the acid in the lemon will start 'cooking' the meat). The skin is first removed with as much fat as possible. The fat side is "crossed-scored" (this helps to bleed the fat off the skin) with a knife and use the rub on both sides of the skin. Place the skin, used to self-baste, fat side down on the meat, as you rotate the meat, keep the skin (fat side down) on top, until the last hour of baking, remove skin, place besides the roast, fat side up. A HOME MADE RUB MADE WITH PLENTY OF GRANULATED AND FRESH GARLIC, LITTLE OREGANO (OTHERWISE THIS OVERPOWERS THE TASTE), SALT, PLENTY OF BLACK PEPPER, PIMENTON (SMOKED PAPRIKA) RUB THE MEAT, CUT MANY HOLES INTO THE MEAT AND ALSO 'STUFF' THE 'HOLES' WITH THE RUB, SLOW BAKE 325° F (FOR AT LEAST 4 HRS) .

I've made this 4 times already. I follow the recipe as written and the result is a very flavorful and tender pork that my friends love and request when we have a get together coming up. I'm not a fan of the slow cooker but it works well enough. Having said that... I think this recipe is second best to a traditional puertorican pernil where the main ingredients are tons of garlic, adobo, oregano, white vinegar and onions.
I did not have fresh oregano and got confused so I used 4 tblsp of the dried (instead of halfing the amount of fresh for dried) and cooked according to directions. It was still really good. What I did was saute onions and garlic in olive oil, add a little mojo and shredded the pork into it and fried it until browned. Served it with Maduros (fried ripe plantains) and rice with lime squeezed on it. I thought I was at a restaruant. Delicious! If you want an authentic tasting spanish meal try it!
This turned out great. Being Puerto-Rican myself, I've done the traditional method of cooking the pernil in the oven. I loved the convenience of using the slow-cooker instead, and it turned out just as good. I always cut into the meat and shove some of the garlic/pepper paste into it. Also, I put balled up pieces of foil under the pernil to elevate it a bit. This prevents it from sticking to the bottom and sitting in the grease. It came out very moist and delicious. Once you place the lid on it, leave it! Every time it's opened moisture escapes. I opened it after 6 hours and it was done. Remember pork is fully cooked at an internal temp of 170 degrees.
I did as suggested and added a ton of garlic, adobo, and sazon and it turned out fantastic. This is going to be our New Year's tradition now!
This was wonderful. I was tired of the same old pork and apple combination. After reading the other reviews, I made a few adjustments. I combined all the seasonings together adding Adobo and a cup of water as suggested by another reviewer. I did not have white wine vinegar so I used red wine and garlic vinegar instead. I also followed the recommendation to puree the seasonings and to stuff it into slits cut into the roast. I then cooked it in the slow cooker. Some of our family liked the roast with lime juice and some without. I liked it both ways. The gravy was good on-top of rice. This was easy and everyone loved it. This one goes in the recipe box. Thanks!

Attention -- Fishermen, hunters, gardeners, hikers, photographers, teachers, researchers, psychologists, New Age enthusiasts, paranormal investigators, astrologers, astronomers, dieters (and more) ...
"Discover The Fun And Easy Way To Explore The Phases Of The Moon Past And Future!"
(Why care about the moon phase? Because knowing the details of the moon's phase gives you a distinct advantage in your chosen activity! The moon affects nature and all living things. Increase your fishing catch, find trophy bucks, predict animal activity, enjoy a lush garden, stunning star gazing without moonlight, plan hiking and photography trips, track the paranormal, study human behavior, markets or historical events, even lose weight on moon-phase dieting plans ... whatever your interests, this program makes it simple to follow the moon.)
Dear Friend,
... and you want to predict, research, or track the moon, you will love this software!
Thousands of people from around the world -- people with the same interests, hobbies or careers you selected -- have taken advantage of the benefits QuickPhase Pro provides.
In the past, finding the phases of the moon or position of the moon was either inconvenient, or time-consuming, or hard to understand ... or all three. With this software, you can have moon phase data at your fingertips, always available on your desktop, with fast, immediate calculations.
You can view all kinds of past or future moon data without complicated, expensive programs, technical jargon, or slow, tedious Internet research.
I'll tell you all about the features of QuickPhase Pro in a minute, but first...
Here's What I Discovered
When I started looking for moon phase data, I immediately jumped on the Internet looking for free info. Sure enough, I found a few sources, BUT with a very annoying "gotcha": I always had to have an Internet connection so it was slow and inconvenient, and cumbersome to wade through all the data to get what I wanted.
... none of what I found was a real solution for viewing moon phases.
So I started looking for moon phase software with calendar features, but couldn't find a direct, simple, inexpensive solution anywhere. Most programs were big, expensive products, packed with astronomy technical terms and features for stars and planets and comets and you-name-it. And not surprisingly, hard to use. Sort of like using a sledgehammer to drive a nail.
What is the "Ideal Moon Phase Program"?
If you are like me, you want a solution that:
Is it hard to use?
Nope! QuickPhase Pro gives comprehensive moon phase information, but is still incredibly simple to use. Simply pick a date and time and QuickPhase Pro will calculate moon information for that date instantly. Enter another date or click a button and instantly generate a calendar for that month.
Navigation is a breeze. Flip from the Day view to the Month view ... or go back and forth by hour, day, or month. The program features are all laid out -- nothing cryptic.If you have a question, you can go to the handy Help Screen, and get instructions and definitions or explanations of terms.
See for yourself -- let me show you some screenshots of the program, along with explanations...
QuickPhase Pro always opens up to the current moon phase -- so you'll always know at a glance what the phase is, and where the moon is ... right now! You can also quickly see when the next new or next full moon is.
And yes - that's the REAL moon, based on an image taken from NASA's Galileo spacecraft. I wanted to use real photographic images of the moon because computer-generated graphics are so bland and uninspiring!
QuickPhase Pro has been checked for accuracy for years 1700 to 2035. But if you're curious, you can select any date and time back to the year 0 B.C., and up to 9999 A.D.
Advancing the program to the next day (by exactly 24 hours) is easy: click the double white arrows. You can also for back and forth by the hour, by clicking the single white arrows.
Easy To Adjust Settings
Monthly Calendars ... For The Past Or Future
These calendars are a valuable tool for anyone interested in predicting, researching or planning around the phases of the moon.Simply pick a month and year, and find out the phases of the moon! For example, what was the phase of the moon when you were born? When you got hired for your job? On 9/11? Is there a pattern between your mood and the moon's phases?
You can click any moon image on the calendar and get fast details in the bar near the bottom of the calendar screen: age, percent of full, phase name, moonrise, and moonset. Want more detail? Just click any day number, and you'll be taken to the main screen with that day as the "Target Date". Nice and simple.
The 4 main quarter phases -- Full, New, First Quarter, and Last Quarter -- are marked as colored dates on the calendar.
To navigate back and forth one month at a time, you can use the white arrows on the calendar.
Two Printable Calendar Designs To Choose From
These are high-resolution calendars, so they print beautifully on laser or inkjet printers, one calendar to a page. Notice that the calendar on the left has space reserved for a note on each day.
Every calendar you print will have the 4 main quarter phases marked.
Includes A Handy "Moon Phase Finder"
The "Find" screen will search for New, Full, First or Last Quarters, starting from any date and report up to 99 results at a time. So now, instead of endlessly clicking through every month, you can just press the "Find" button and let QuickPhase do all the work!
And here is an interesting feature: If you enter a month and day, you can limit the results to occurances on that date only. For example, when will a full moon fall on Christmas or the New Year or Halloween? (Hint: it doesn't happen very often!)
Quick Configuration Screen And User-Friendly Preferences
What People Are Saying About QuickPhase
I released the first version of QuickPhase on the Internet in June of 2002. Today, moon enthusiasts around the world are using QuickPhase to predict and research the phases of the moon.
Not surprisingly, I get most orders from the United States (particularly from the large states), but some memorable orders have come from Greece, Czech Republic, Kenya, Cyprus, and Ecuador just to name a few!
Who uses QuickPhase? Fishermen and hunters, gardeners, researchers, astrologers, astronomers, new-age, religions (of many kinds) and more.The quotes you see running along the righthand side and elsewhere on this page are some of the emails I have received from delighted QuickPhase owners. Looking for more "proof"? Click here to view all 121 full comments from satisfied QuickPhase Pro owners.
So How Much Does It Cost? The truth is, as much as I've enjoyed creating this software, it has required a ton of time and effort. So far, I've spent at least 150 hours on programming, research and development. I charge $60 per hour for custom projects, but of course I want to keep the price of QuickPhase Pro as low as possible so anyone can benefit from having the program. Now you can take instant advantage of all my hard work and research.

(opens new window) * * * "QuickPhase Pro! What an outstanding program! It's simple and easy to use, yet it gives me all the data I'm looking for. I'm the Observing Site Director for the Maple Valley Astronomical Society, (http://sky.maple
valleywa.com), and schedule observing events for the club. Your program allows me to quickly find not only the phase of the moon, but just as important, the rise and set times as well. Thanks for the great program!"
- James Milstid, Washington * * * "I am a retired Naval Officer who commanded a US Navy ship. Obviously, celestial navigation is a topic near and dear to my heart.
So, when my 9 year old daughter was studying the phases of the moon, I was eager to make her understand how the moon phases work. Her teacher assigned her the task of observing the moon each night and then draw and label the phase.
Unfortunately, moon rise many nights is well after her bed time. So, I found your software the perfect tool to help her understand what the moon should be on a certain night and how it moves through its phases each month.
The software quickly eliminated any confusion she has and made it easy for her to fully appreciate the magnificence of the sky.
Thanks for a great product."
- Bill Lewis, Virginia * * * "I run a non-profit making weather station that supplies quality weather data to the local community. Information of lunar phases is contained within the almanac released in our Daily Weather Report. I have found it to be very accurate in relation to previous sites/software I have been using."
- Mike Lewis
Pitsford Hall Weather Station
weather.org.uk * * * "Having spent about 30 years studying fish and game activity in relation to moon times, it didn't take me a whole lotta time on your website to decide that QuickPhase Pro was indeed just what I'd been looking for. I find it a facinating little program that's very user friendly and has more than met my every expectation. Thanks again for a job well done!"
- Dan Porteous, Kirkland Lake, Ontario, Canada * * * "I do enjoy your program, it is very useful to me. I am a 5th grade elementary school teacher and one of our science standards is the phases of the moon. Your program, including the printable calendars, is a great way for my students to see the moon in action. They have been observing and drawing the moon for the last month and they double check their observations with your program. I am very happy with the software and I did enjoy all the bonuses, there were some great pictures to share with my class."
- Francisco Aguilar * * * "It is very useful to paranormal investigators to take all enviromental factors into consideration. By recording what particular phase the moon is in for each investgation, we can establish whether there are any patterns emerging. Activity may be more prominent during certain phases. A full moon for instance. Quickphase Pro is a quick and easy point of reference. We would highly recommend this program to other paranormal investigators to help them in their endeavours to record all relevant information about the enviroment."
- Vincent Crewe, Wakefield, UK * * * "I think your calendar is great! It's the best I've seen, and I've looked around a lot for these calendars."
- Raevynne Dale, Vancouver, BC Canada * * * "I just installed your program on my computer at work, and it's beautiful. I can't wait to get home and put it on my home computer. I just wanted to let you know, I've been looking for a decent moon phase calendar for a long time, I'm glad I finally came around yours ... I absolutely love the program."
- Michelle Pellot, New York * * * "G'day David, I use QuickPhase Pro for commercial fishing. It is an excellent tool to plan fishing trips, as most pelagic species act [e.g bite/travel / show on the surface]during differing moon phases. It is also invaluable to include in reports and allows clear visual comparisons with the moon phase and fish showings/catches. Top buy. Cheers."
- Niel Austin, Port Lincoln, South Australia * * * "As soon as I purchased QPP, the weather turned depressing around here for nearly 4 days. The clouds finally broke today in time for me to catch an early evening sunrise. This isnt the best shot and hopefully not the best moonrise I will ever capture, but I thought I would send it along just to say thank you. Im sure its no surprise to you, but the moon rose exactly where QuickPhase Pro said it would. This is an infrared shot on the Batavia / Fox River Walk in Batavia, Illinois."
Craig Wassel
wasselphotoart.com * * * "The software is super easy to install and run and is very accurate. I can look at the calendar for tomorrow night and tell the combat patrol leader with confidence that he will be working under a 1st Quarter Crescent moon. That is a very good piece of information that he can use to better prepare his men and needed equipment. Thank you for making such a wonderful program."
- Sargent B., From somewhere in the "Sunni Triangle", A Co 120th INF (M) FSNCO * * * "I have used Quick Phase primarily in deer hunting applications. I have been a very successful deer hunter for many years and had long suspected that the moon phases had a lot to do with the movements or lack of, where deer are concerned. Not only have I been seeing larger numbers of deer, since I started using "Quick Phase" I am seeing more trophy quality racks than ever before ... I would recommend "Quick Phase" to any serious hunter. Learn the application and use it in conjunction with situations, like the rut, and you will see more deer than you may have thought possible.
- Larry Vincent, Ruffin, SC, Colleton * * * "I bought this product to help me with my one of my assignments that I am doing for my GCSE in Astronomy. I think Quick phase pro is brilliant and am so glad I downloaded the software. I have told all my friends how brilliant it is."
- Miss E L Parker, United Kingdom * * * "I am using the QuickPhase Pro package in a workshop on the phases of the moon with 1st grade elementary teachers. Many of the activities listed for teachers to do with students in the curriculum require nightly observations; this program allows use to virtually observe the phases so the teachers have quick experience in identifying the phases of the moon within the activities. I don't have to hunt for a site on the internet and hope it is there when I need it. I will let the teachers know about the program and how easy it was to purchase it. "
- Cheryl Wood, Florida * * * "I am very happy with QuickPhase Pro. It is simple to install, simple to use, and aesthetically appealing ... It tells me exactly where the moon is in the waxing/waning cycle, which reveals the basis of my emotional life. Thank you for a straightforward, affordable product which does exactly what it says it will do."
- Lilly Ambrose, Georgia * * * "We use quickphase for accurately setting the moonphase on the grandfather clocks we sell. The software is simple to install & use and well worth the purchase. We would recommend the software to anyone as not only does it help us in our field it supplies a lot of interesting information."
Peter, Ballarat, Victoria, Australia * * * "I really like QuickPhase Pro in the short time I have had it. I am an amateur astronomer and I use it for planning my observing, both of the Moon and of deep sky objects (when the Moon is a source of light pollution!). ;-) I especially like its "portability", the fact that it doesn't have to be installed in Windows and stored in the bowels of MicroSloth's registry. It is neat and quick and easy to use."
- George Reynolds, Virginia * * * "Since I bought this program I've grown to love it. Easy, bug-less (in my experience) and always there! If you can't have the moon, this is the next best thing. It's handy, attractive, simple and seemingly foolproof (which in my case is essential)."
- Patrick Moore, Illinois * * * "This is a beautiful, fun and simple program to operate ... I like the deep space look of the images of the calendar, the realism of the moon images, and also the daily "specs". I printed out the monthly calendar as a reference document. In all, its a very welcome product!"
- Jerry M. * * * "I love this software!!!!! I use it daily just to keep track of the moon phases. I recommend it highly! This software is easy to use and well worth the small price to have this information at your access."
- Diana, Dallas, TX, USA * * * "I purchased QuickPhase primarily because of a passive interest in the moon - after all, it there night in night out! I have however used the data in the production of reports on street lighting where the light of the moon will have and influence on readings taken. I would recommend QuickPhase to others because it is dynamic, easy to use and comes at a realistic price."
- Graham Lott, Cheadle Hulme, Cheshire, UK * * * "I use QuickPhase each year in the fall in the second grade classroom when we're charting the different phases of the moon."
- Kerri, Massachusetts, United States
* * * "As a Scout leader, I've used the program to see how much light we'll have setting up camp ... The new version is great as it adds the moonrise and moonset times. This makes the new QuickPhase the most readable and aesthetically pleasing program I've seen on the web."
- Toby Griffen, Edwarsdville, Illinois, USA * * * "I used it for my astronomy project to show the phases of the moon throughout a month. I put in my location coordinates and printed a picture of every moon phase, per day, on photographic paper. Then I mounted each picture on a coloured piece of card, depending on the type of phase, and stuck the description by the side of each one, and all on an A1 piece of lilac card. I received 36/40 for this and another project. So you can see how fantastic it was for me. I did explain that I used software to do it, but now wish I'd written that on the card to publicise your software. A fantastic piece of software showing everything you could ever need at any time, in a very impressive display. All from a simple program."
- Ralph, Brighton/Leuven, England/Belgium * * * "Have used the program for past year with very successful results. Am a watch collector with multiple moon phase chronographs which i synchronize to the program."
- Martin D Levine * * * "Thank you for this neat program. For my money, I get quite a bit of use from it to look up what weekend evenings will have a full or near full moon so that I can schedule moon-lit walks in the outdoors. I also use it for teaching children about the moon's phases and how they affect the earth. It is an inexpensive means of finding phases of the moon quickly and easily. No thinking necessary! When I need to know when there is a full moon on a weekend day, I simply scroll to the month I am interested in or use the convenient search tool."
- Tony Loftin, Sacramento, California, United States * * * "I am an astro-amateur but every year I have to get ready an astronomical calendar (very filled with astronomical data and, by this reason, very requested by the Italian Astronomical Clubs). Your program helps me a lot building the table showing the daily aspect of the moon, month by month, I was compelled to do choosing and copying the various aspects (365/366 in leap years) day by day! This is a gem! Compliments and thanks, David!"
- Luciano Ugolini, Prato, PO, Italy * * * "I am a fisherman and I use it all the time to check the moon phases. I like the ease of use and how you can print the month out and leave it on your boat. It is very clear and clean on the computer and the colors are great ... I have recommended it to my fellow fishing buddies in Michigan and Ohio. This is a great tool to fish with and how easy it is to view and use."
- Nick Paris, Adrian, MI., USA * * * "I use quickphase mainly just to see what the moon is doing and for religious reasons. I used to be bummed when I'd miss the full moon. Because I use my computer on a daily basis, it is really cool having access to the phases. I have REALLY enjoyed the screen saver as well. If you find yourself bummed out because you "missed" the full moon or any other phase you enjoy, use the moon for religious purposes, or just because you Love the moon....I totally recommend this program. It's great!"
- Luna, Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, USA * * * "I love QuickPhase!! It has been a wonderful way to help me mark and celebrate the precise times of moon phases. *In my spiritual practice I mark and work with moon phases - both new and full* It's the easiest to understand, most accurate and is so very simple to use. I am grateful to have found this product and consider it's meager expense to have been more than worthwhile. Thank you!!"
- Ali, U * * * "I am so extremley pleased with my purchase of QuickPhase Pro. I use the software for astrological purposes. Knowing exactly the moon's phases at my exact location is truly awesome. This is one program I've never regretted purchasing. "
- Tracey Gentry, Petersburg, Virginia, USA * * * "QuickPhase is a program well worth the money. I have seen may other moon phase calculators on the internet, this is by far the best. It offers far more functionality than any others I have seen ... If a person is looking for a well designed moon phase calculator, this is the one to go with. It even allows the printing of calendars with a variety of styles.
- SplinterPaw * * * "Hi, I love the program. It is just what I have been looking for. The free programs and backgrounds are also great. I have used several others and they don't compare to yours at all. Keep up the great work."
- Jerry Burton, Tennessee * * * "Quick Phase is quite simply one of the best software purchases I have ever made. Thank you! Quick, simple, easy to use, accurate and fun: the perfect way to keep in touch with the moon's phases."
- David Hand, Manchester, England * * * "Many software packages do not deliver what is expected but I am pleased to say that QuickPhase surpassed mine. The set up was easy and I can now accurately track the moon cycles in written and graphical representations. I would recommend to any PC user that has an interest in the moon."
- Tino Fenech, Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia * * * "To all those people who are not sure you will enjoy this program: I am surprised that having no specific need that I LOVE IT. The bonus features are not to be overlooked either, it is great to look at the screen saver and see the moon rising and setting in the same phase you would see if you looked out the window. I have also used the application to give my friends and family a calender and a print out of what the moon was doing on the day that THEY were born. It is always an original hit!"
- Lorne James, Canada * * * "I was originally an Astrophysicist and now I am studying ancient religions. I use Quick Phase to research phases of the moon and its effects on people and politics. Because I travel all over the world and also need phases of the moon in different locations for my research, the convenience of changing location and ease of use I would give Quick Phase 5 stars."

Pistons fans, rejoice! Many of you were beginning to think it was never going to happen again after more than a dozen years in the wilderness. Most "experts" thought it might be another dozen years before the Eastern Conference even had a chance against the powerhouse West. And then came Joe and Larry's masterpiece! Former Champion Joe Dumars brought in the best coach never to win a title (Larry Brown), and assembled a remarkable roster of team players that sacrificed it all, and not only won the NBA Championship, but reduced the Lakers dynasty to a torn-apart shell!
For true fans of the franchise that went from "Bad Boys" to a team so "Good" that even Rasheed became a model citizen, this spectacular panoramic poster is for you! From late in the fourth quarter of the impending penultimate victory of the 4-1 series win, photographer Rob Arra captures a euphoric scene that is ready to explode inside The Palace of Auburn Hills. As with all entries in Arra's vast Everlasting Images collection, the entire arena is in crystal-clear, bright, colorful focus, and as you pan across the image, you feel like you are actually there, watching the clock wind down as Rasheed and Ben Wallace, Richard Hamilton, Chauncey Billups, Tayshaun Prince, and the rest of the squad complete their dismantling of the men in purple! A true work of photographic art, this fantastic collector's item is the perfect historic reminder of the greatest moment in Detroit sports history in a generation. Worthy of a nice frame and a prominent space on the home or office wall of any true fan!

Sebastian Vettel says he has no complaints with his new Red Bull racer despite not topping the times on his first day of testing...
Sebastian Vettel says he has no complaints with his new Red Bull racer despite not topping the times on his first day of testing.
The reigning World Champion replaced team-mate Mark Webber for the final two days of testing at Jerez and was quickly into the action.
Amassing 102 laps on his first day, Vettel finished with the third best time, a 1:19.052, which was 1.173s off the pace set by Ferrari's Felipe Massa.
"I think the car's working very well," said Vettel.
"Obviously it's difficult to judge the speed, but it terms of reliability it was good and I feel pretty happy with the car so far.
"It's always nice to be on top but if there's one phase when it matters least, it's now.
"It's good for us now to do a lot of laps and to see whether the car's working.
"It's an evolution and I think we've done another step forward, but that's all we can say now."
Vettel, though, was quick to point out that results at the Jerez count for little as not only is it the first pre-season outing but the track surface is also very abrasive.
"It's impossible to give a judgement right now because I think people were playing with the fuel loads.
"Plus it's the first test and it's Jerez, where the tyre degradation is quite big and tyres play a massive role. There are too many variables.
"It was nice to be back in the car and not much more than that. We shouldn't get excited in any way.
"Now is the time to do our homework. Maybe it's not the most exciting part of the season, but I had fun so it's not that boring."

Little Girl
In a run-down park on the outskirts of Rome, a two year-old girl is discovered and taken in by a family of hard-luck circus performers. A note in the child's pocket from a desperate mother reveals little about who she is or why she was left. As the bond grows between the girl and her surrogate family, this naturalistic drama becomes a revealing and soulful portrait of courage and discrimination, and of loss and togetherness.

Well, Joey Porter and the Dolphins have officially parted ways, and all I can say is "It's about time". I decided to beat WV to it, and create the official Joey Porter memorial thread where we could share our favorite stories, moments, and memories of the not-so-good Joey Porter.
I'll start us off with my favorite memory. I remember when "peezy" first came to Miami, we were all so excited. He stayed longer and longer, and did not produce, yet still talked trash that he simply couldn't back up. Well, really, there is nothing good at all about this memory, but it just reminds me how disapointing and worthless Joey Porter was, and still is.

The inaugural Crusty Demons Cup is all set for an electrifying finale at the 2012 Formula 1™ Qantas Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne tomorrow, with qualification completed today in spectacular style.
The qualifiers are:
- Tom Pages (France)
- Todd Potter (United States)
- Truman Carroll (Australia)
- Jackson Strong (Australia)
- Matty McFerran (Australia)
- Truman Carroll (Australia)
BEST TRICK - $25,000 First; $10,000 Second; $5,000 Third.
- Matty McFerran (Australia)
- Todd Potter (United States)
- Tom Pages (France)
- Kyle Loza (United States)
- Jackson Strong (Australia)
With the riders totally pumped and prepped to pull out all stops to take home the cash, big things are expected tomorrow night, with The Crusty Demons Cup kicking off directly after the Formula One race.
Mystery man Kyle Loza, winner of three X Games Gold Medals for Best Trick has promised to turn it on in his usual style and put as much pressure as possible on current X Games Best Trick Gold Medallist Jackson Strong.
The man who pioneered front-flipping a motorcycle, Australia's Jacko has said he will unveil a never before seen jump to the world's media - the "Bullet Proof Tiger".
"I'm starting to get chills running down my spine thinking about what the 'Best trick' category is going to hold," Strong said.
"I wanted to bring something new to the table so stay tuned - the 'Bullet Proof Tiger' will be out of the bag soon," Strong concluded.
The Crusty Demons Cup has taken place over the four days of the 2012 Formula 1™ Qantas Australian Grand Prix and culminates in a Sunday night finale where eight riders will go head-to-head in a massive FMX battle for Best Trick, Best Whip and Best Combo.
The Crusty Demons are a group of daredevil freestyle motorcyclists from around the world but predominantly the USA, Australia, Europe, New Zealand and Japan.
Considered pioneers of freestyle motocross (FMX), the Crusty Demons legend began in 1994 in the USA thanks to filmmakers Jon Freeman and Dana Nicholson. They showcased a "behind the scenes" exposé of the lifestyle of an American pro motocross rider in action, featuring 145 ft plus distance jumps, 45 ft high airborne jumps over sand dunes, mountains, houses, buses and anything else secure and steep enough to hold the weight of bike and rider. The end result was Fleshwound Films and the first video: "The Crusty Demons of Dirt."
Mind blowing tricks and world record jumps have made the Crusty Demons a household name and now the Crusty DVD's are among the biggest selling action sports titles of all time.
Today, the Crusty Demons brand extends across a range of licensed products including DVD's, movies, apparel, bedding, magazines, digital platforms and various consumer products.

There are many questions that arise coming from the AFC East. First, Matt Moore is going to be facing a-lot more competition this season. Two newcomers (Ryan Tannehill and David Garrard) will be starting in training camp soon, and I'm sure that they will be giving their all. But who will be the starting quarterback and who will be the back-up quarterback. It's between Ryan Tannehill and David Garrard, and they might just want to flip a coin and decide. It looks like it'll be a battle between the vets and the rookies.
What are your takes with the AFC East?

A popliteal artery aneurysm is an abnormal bulge that occurs in the wall of the artery that runs through the area behind your knee joint.
At Mayo Clinic, we assemble a team of specialists who take the time to listen and thoroughly understand your health issues and concerns. We tailor the care you receive to your personal health care needs. You can trust our specialists to collaborate and offer you the best possible outcomes, safety and service.
Mayo Clinic is a not-for-profit medical institution that reinvests all earnings into improving medical practice, research and education. We're constantly involved in innovation and medical research, finding solutions to improve your care and quality of life. Your doctor or someone on your medical team is likely involved in research related to your condition.
Our patients tell us that the quality of their interactions, our attention to detail and the efficiency of their visits mean health care — and trusted answers — like they've never experienced.
Why Choose Mayo Clinic
What Sets Mayo Clinic Apart
Mayo Clinic doctors trained in blood vessel conditions (vascular specialists), doctors trained in imaging (radiologists) and others diagnose your condition.
Doctors usually find popliteal artery aneurysms during routine physical examinations or identify them during imaging tests such as ultrasounds or computerized tomography (CT) scans. Popliteal artery aneurysms often occur without symptoms.
Doctors may order several tests to diagnose your condition, including:
Duplex ultrasound. Duplex ultrasound is a special ultrasound that gives detailed information about the size of the aneurysm, potential blood clots that may have formed in the popliteal artery and blood flow through the popliteal artery. Doctors often use ultrasound and duplex ultrasound to diagnose people with popliteal artery aneurysms, and order other tests if needed.
Doctors may also conduct duplex ultrasound to check for aneurysms in other areas of your body, if a popliteal artery aneurysm has been detected.
Mayo Clinic doctors trained in blood vessel interventions and surgery (vascular and endovascular surgeons) and blood vessel conditions (vascular specialists) treat people with popliteal artery aneurysms.
Doctors will work with you to determine the most appropriate treatment for your condition. Your treatment may include several options, depending on the condition of your arteries, your overall health, your symptoms, the size of the aneurysm and other factors.
Doctors may recommend endovascular intervention or open surgery to repair the popliteal artery aneurysm to help prevent potentially dangerous health issues and complications, including the aneurysm blocking blood flow to your leg, a blood clot breaking off from the aneurysm and other complications. Your doctor will discuss with you the risks and benefits of each procedure.
If you have blood clots and blocked blood flow to your leg due to a popliteal artery aneurysm, doctors may give you medications during open surgery or through the catheter in an endovascular intervention to dissolve the blood clot before placing a stent graft. After you have been diagnosed with blood clots or blocked blood flow, your doctor may prescribe blood-thinning medications to take until your surgery.
Treatments for popliteal artery aneurysm include:
Endovascular intervention. In this procedure, which is less invasive than open surgery, your doctor inserts a long, flexible tube (catheter) into an artery either through a small incision in your groin or through the skin and threads the catheter to the aneurysm using X-ray imaging.
Your doctor inserts an artificial tube (stent graft) through the catheter into the affected area and expands it against the walls of the artery. This helps to prevent the risk of a blood clot moving to and blocking the leg arteries, prevents rupture of the aneurysm, and avoids blockage of the knee artery.
People who have endovascular intervention usually have a quicker recovery and shorter hospital stays compared with open surgery.
Open surgery. In open surgery, your surgeon cuts the skin and tissue to reach the aneurysm directly.
In one approach, surgeons create a detour around the aneurysm by placing veins from another part of your body (vein grafts) around the affected area.
In another approach, surgeons place an artificial tube (prosthetic graft) in the affected area, approaching your aneurysm from behind the knee.
During surgery to bypass the aneurysm with a vein or prosthetic artery, surgeons open the sac of the aneurysm, remove the blood clot and suture together the opposing walls to prevent recurrence or continuing compression to the surrounding blood vessels. Surgery keeps the aneurysm from entering your blood circulation and possibly rupturing.
Monitoring. If your aneurysm is small and you aren't experiencing symptoms, doctors may monitor your condition regularly with follow-up appointments and ultrasounds.
After open or endovascular surgery, your doctor will continue to monitor your condition regularly with follow-up appointments and imaging tests.
Mayo Clinic works with hundreds of insurance companies and is an in-network provider for millions of people. In most cases, Mayo Clinic doesn't require a physician referral. Some insurers require referrals or may have additional requirements for certain medical care. All appointments are prioritized on the basis of medical need.

I do not understand why you would want to claim someones hard work as your own.

Since 2000, Spanish authorities have used a technology-driven system for detecting and apprehending migrants attempting to reach Spanish territory by boat.

Recent Activity
This report seeks to untangle the economic consequences of immigration from the intricate web of influences that affect the labor market by examining the role of various non-immigration factors in determining labor supply and demand.
This book analyzes approaches, strategies, and best practices from EU Member States that could contribute to a sustainable integration policy. It thus provides European, national, regional, and local decisionmakers with instruments they can draw on in establishing a framework for integration.
This policy brief explores the often neglected migration management potential of "regularization" or "legalization" programs, arguing that properly conceived and carefully executed "earned" regularization programs can not only prevent the number and flow of unauthorized migrants from building to unacceptable levels, but can also set the stage for smarter use of enforcement resources and improvements in labor market and social policy development.
This report looks at what, over time, has determined the various departmental or ministerial locations of migration policy decision-making in different states.
This policy brief explores two key policy issues at the center of the May 2004 enlargement of the European Union: the potential for migration from the new Member States to the existing ones; and the need to develop a coherent immigration, asylum, and border control policy for the European Union.
Through a broad overview of key policy and legislation dating back to the early 1990s, this paper finds that despite persistent efforts to coordinate an EU level approach to asylum and refugee protection, the process has been severely stifled by the lack of a philosophical consensus between Member States as to what constitutes refugee protection in Europe and globally.
Recognizing the particular challenges to refugee protection faced on both sides of the Atlantic, this report questions whether strengthening resettlement programs in the U.S. and Europe can help to address ongoing concerns over security, the volume and diversity of migrants, the rise of right-wing parties and the role of the welfare state.
In the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks on the U.S., EU officials issued a symbolic statement that the EU was prepared to receive Afghan refugees displaced from the looming American intervention. Despite internal policy tendencies to reject Afghan claims to protection and domestic security concerns, EU officials seemed to recognize at the time there was very little risk of a massive influx of Afghan refugees.

Sen. Joe Lieberman is taking his last stand for the military budget—which, he says, has already been terribly eviscerated—before he retires after 24 years in the upper chamber. For the independent (former Democrat) from Connecticut, time is running out as we approach the fiscal cliff. Edited excerpts from his interview with National Journal follow.
NJ As sequestration looms, how are you advocating for the defense budget?
Lieberman The congressional attempt to avoid the fiscal cliff and do something about the debt long term is very hierarchical. The real negotiation is going on between the president and the bipartisan leadership of Congress and … between the key staff members. Most of us are in a position of either talking to or writing to our respective leaders. If [the] sequester goes into effect and the Defense Department has to take another round of cuts this coming year, it'll be a real failure by Congress. That would really be a sour note on which to conclude.
NJ The talks seem to have made little progress.
Lieberman Everybody just assumes that sequestration will not occur. But if we do nothing, it will occur. Congress is getting quite good at doing nothing. I know people say, "Well, at a minimum, you'll kick it down the road." Probably, but even that requires bipartisan agreement. Our defense budget has already taken, pursuant to the Budget Control Act last year, cuts of almost a half-trillion dollars—which, in my opinion, already pose unacceptable risk [to] our national security
NJ If we go over the cliff, you won't be here to help mitigate the consequences. What does that feel like?
Lieberman Thus far, [these past two years] have been the most uncompromising, unproductive in my 24 in Congress. My hope and prayer is that we will have a big bipartisan breakthrough on the debt. The last two years doesn't give hope for that.
NJ Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl Levin says he might accept $100 billion more in defense cuts over the next decade. Do you have a dollar figure in mind?
Lieberman There is a number: Zero. A bit stubborn, maybe some people think absolute. This is going to be one of my last votes as a senator. But I'm not going to vote for any more cuts in defense, because I think it will compromise our security.
NJ Your Homeland Security Committee is investigating the Benghazi terrorist attack. How was your meeting last week with U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice, who is under fire for misconstruing the attack that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens?
Lieberman I ended up with the conclusion, validated by the acting director of the CIA, Mike Morell, that what she said on those Sunday-morning television appearances were the talking points she was given by the intelligence community. There are obviously questions about if something was taken out of those talking points. The answer is yes, but not by Ambassador Rice. Some of my colleagues are troubled that Rice at one point said that al-Qaida had been decimated, then at another point said it was too soon to say whether al-Qaida or al-Qaida-related groups or other extremist groups were involved in the attack. Which is an accurate answer. She said, "I understand the confusion. I should have said, what I meant was, 'Core al-Qaida has been decimated—Osama bin Laden, and most of the rest of the central command.' " I think she's telling the truth.
NJ Could Rice be confirmed by the Senate as secretary of State?
Lieberman I don't think Ambassador Rice should be criticized or punished in any way for what she said. Whether she's nominated for something or not, that's the president's decision, and I won't be here to vote for her or against her. But if I were here, I wouldn't vote against her because of those Sunday-morning TV appearances. I think that would be unfair.
NJ You were part of a national-security trio with Republican Sens. John McCain and Lindsey Graham. What will happen to the "three amigos"?
Lieberman It has been a very important part of my Senate experience. Senator McCain and I became friendly right after I got here, but we really started working together in response to the genocide in the Balkans. Senator Graham came here in the 2002 elections. There was no admissions process into the amigos; it just seemed to happen. The two of them and I disagree on a lot of domestic issues. But I think we harken back to an earlier, more bipartisan tradition on foreign policy and national security. I'll miss them, but I think we'll always be amigos.
