FBI scrutinizing alleged Russian hack of DNC network
For much of the political world, the focus in recent days has been on the content of stolen Democratic National Committee emails, and the degree to which they prove hostility between party officials and their critics in Bernie Sanders' presidential campaign. As of yet, there's no proof the DNC "rigging" the process to help Hillary Clinton, but the ugly controversy has nevertheless led to the ouster of the DNC outgoing chair, Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
But taking a step back, a related controversy, which is arguably far more serious, is unfolding. It's focused not on what the individual emails say, but rather, the theft itself.
The DNC email leak ... remains under investigation by the FBI."A compromise of this nature is something we take very seriously, and the FBI will continue to investigate and hold accountable those who pose a threat in cyberspace," the bureau said in a statement Monday.
NBC News' Richard Engel added this afternoon that three leading U.S. cyber-security companies told NBC News "they have a high degree of confidence" that Russia was responsible for the leaking of the DNC materials.
As we discussed this morning, the available evidence is raising questions about Vladimir Putin's government and its possible intervention in the American presidential campaign, but we're still dealing with unproven allegations. A growing number of experts appear to believe Russian officials were responsible for the hacking and the leaking, but the investigation has not come to definitive conclusions.
But while that probe continues, relevant details continue to raise concerns about the seriousness of the controversy. Yahoo News' Michael Isikoff reports today, for example, that a DNC staffer who was researching Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort's ties to Russia's government found that her personal email account had been hacked.
The staffer's private account was targeted after she'd reached out to a number of investigative journalists abroad "who had been providing her with information about Manafort's political and business dealings in that country and Russia."
Latest polls shed light on Trump's post-convention bounce
Two weeks ago, I published a warning of sorts: "Don't be shocked if Trump's narrow deficit turns into a narrow advantage after the Republican National Convention."
How does that hold up? As of this morning, pretty well.
A pair of new polls out Monday give a conflicting picture of whether Donald Trump emerged from the Republican National Convention with a significant bump in support.In a new survey from CNN, Trump now leads Clinton in a head-to-head matchup, 48 percent to 45 percent.... But a new poll from CBS shows that the two candidates remain tied after the Cleveland convention, at 42 percent apiece, compared to 40 percent apiece before the conventions began.
Adding third-party candidates to the mix doesn't change the equation much: Trump still has a modest lead in the CNN poll, while the major-party candidates are still tied in the CBS poll.
One detail to keep in mind is the ongoing significance of the education gap: in the CNN poll, among white voters with college degrees, Hillary Clinton leads by four points, but among white voters without college degrees, Donald Trump enjoys a 37-point advantage. (Trump's boast earlier this year, "I love the poorly educated," comes to mind.)*
Maybe now is a good time to pause and take stock of where things stand.
Monday's Campaign Round-Up, 7.25.16
Today's installment of campaign-related news items from across the country.
* Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) will deliver the keynote address at the Democratic National Convention.
* According to a new poll from the Pew Research Center, 90% of consistent Bernie Sanders supporters are backing Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump.
* Though Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) has supported the Trans-Pacific Partnership, he's now shifting his posture to coincide with Hillary Clinton's opposition to the trade agreement.
* Donald Trump says he'd consider Michael Flynn, a controversial retired Army general, to be his Secretary of Defense if elected, but no matter what happens in the election, that won't happen: Flynn isn't eligible for the Pentagon post.
* Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, a Republican-turned-Independent, will reportedly endorse Hillary Clinton at the Democratic convention this week.
* Ambassador Chris Stevens's mother is publicly objecting to Trump's and the GOP's partisan exploitation of her son's death in 2012. "I know for certain that Chris would not have wanted his name or memory used in that connection," Mary Commanday wrote in a New York Times letter to the editor. "I hope that there will be an immediate and permanent stop to this opportunistic and cynical use by the campaign."
* With the White House supporting Kamala Harris's (D) U.S. Senate campaign in California this year, her rival, Rep. Loretta Sanchez (D), is trying to make this into a racial controversy because Harris and President Obama are both African American.
The wrong campaign picks the wrong fight over religion
Of all the controversial emails stolen from the DNC's network and leaked online, arguably none was more damaging than a message related to religion.
On May 5, the week after Hillary Clinton effectively wrapped up the nomination, one DNC staffer raised the prospect of someone making an issue of Bernie Sanders' faith. If voters in Kentucky and West Virginia were led to believe that the senator is an atheist, it "could make several points difference" in the results, the staffer said.
There's no evidence any kind of plan was ever hatched, and according to Sanders himself, the senator is Jewish, not an atheist. But the fact that such a topic was even discussed in this way is impossible to defend.
There are, however, limits to the pushback. Don Trump Jr., for example, appeared on CNN yesterday, and seemed eager to discuss this controversy. Referencing the May 5 email, Trump, in his capacity as a surrogate for his father's Republican candidacy, told Jake Tapper:
"If Republicans did that it would be disgusting and that's what you're going to see in a Clinton administration. This sort of divisiveness has to stop. They should be ashamed of themselves."And again, if we did that, if the RNC did that, if my father's campaign did that they'd be calling for people to get the electric chair."
Actually, it's a funny story, because whether he realizes it or not, his father's campaign has actually done this more than once. In fact, Trump's actions are worse: he didn't just talk about the possibility of attacking a rival's faith in a private email; he explicitly went after others' religious beliefs over and over again.
Republican Convention audience fails to live up to expectations
Last night on Twitter, Donald Trump seemed eager to boast about, of all things, television ratings. "The ratings for the Republican National Convention were very good, but for the final night, my speech, great," the candidate wrote. "Thank you!"
It was a familiar topic for the Republican candidate, who has said for weeks that the television ratings for his nominating convention -- packed with big stars like Scott Baio and an underwear model whose name I've already forgotten -- would be spectacular. As the New York Times reported, however, the party's gathering in Cleveland "did not live up to the hype."
About 32 million Americans watched Mr. Trump's climactic acceptance speech on Thursday evening on the major cable news and broadcast channels, according to ratings from Nielsen, released on Friday.Mr. Trump's remarks, at an hour and 15 minutes the longest in modern convention history, just beat out those of the previous Republican nominee, the decidedly less unpredictable Mitt Romney, who was seen by about 1.9 million fewer viewers when he addressed the party's convention four years ago. Viewership throughout the convention week was about the same as in 2012.
To help put this in perspective, the Times piece noted that the first debate for the GOP presidential candidates, aired last August, brought in 24 million viewers. The second night of the Republican convention brought in under 20 million "across all the major news networks."
Adding insult to injury, for all of his interest in television ratings, Trump's audience failed to match that of a certain former POW whose service Trump was quick to denigrate.
White supremacists feel inspired by Trump's 2016 campaign
Former KKK leader David Duke launched a U.S. Senate campaign on Friday, and in his announcement remarks, the Louisianan felt compelled to give a certain presidential hopeful a spirited shout-out. "I'm overjoyed to see Donald Trump and most Americans embraced most of the issues that I have championed for years," Duke said.
It's part of an increasingly difficult dynamic for the Republican Party, most of which was quick to denounce Duke's Senate bid. As the campaign season has progressed, Trump's candidacy became a source of inspiration for bigots on the right-wing fringe, as the Associated Press reported over the weekend.
"I don't think people have fully recognized the degree to which he's transformed the party," said Richard Spencer, a clean-cut 38-year-old from Arlington, Virginia, who sipped Manhattans as he matter-of-factly called for removing African-Americans, Hispanics and Jews from the United States.Like most in his group, Spencer said this year's convention was his first. On his social media accounts, he posted pictures of himself wearing a red Trump "Make America Great Again" hat at Quicken Loans Arena. And he says he hopes to attend future GOP conventions."Tons of people in the alt-right are here," he said, putting their numbers at the RNC this week in the dozens. "We feel an investment in the Trump campaign."
Note, the "we" in that sentence refers to white supremacists.
I'll confess my first instinct when it comes to covering extremists like these is to deny their madness any kind of spotlight, but in 2016, that no longer seems like a responsible course. These organized racists have been inspired by a Republican presidential candidate -- who, himself, has been described as a racist on multiple occasions -- in ways the American mainstream simply hasn't seen in modern times.
Not to put too fine a point on this, but if white supremacists are feeling legitimized by a competitive, major-party presidential candidate, that's a development voters should take very seriously.
Team Trump eyes new super PAC -- to target Republicans
On Friday morning, Donald Trump made his first public appearance after the end of the Republican National Convention, which offered him an opportunity to look ahead to the general election. Instead, the Republican nominee seemed eager to re-litigate the GOP primaries -- including Trump's ongoing interest in Ted Cruz's father and a JFK assassination conspiracy theory.
It was a striking reminder: Trump may be eager to take on Hillary Clinton in the general election, but the Republican candidate isn't quite done thinking about his intra-party rivals.
The question, however, is just how far down this road Trump intends to go. A prominent Trump ally suggested last Thursday, for example, that the GOP nominee may support a primary challenger to take on Ted Cruz in Texas in 2018.
Trump himself made a similar comment on Friday -- after talking about Cruz's father and Lee Harvey Oswald -- saying in reference to the Texas senator, "Maybe I'll set up a super PAC if he decides to run." Turning to his running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, Trump added, "Are you allowed to set up a super-PAC, Mike, if you are the president, to fight somebody?"
By late Friday, sources close to Trump were saying Trump intends to "create and fund super-PACs specifically aimed at ending the political careers of Ted Cruz and John Kasich should either run for office again." On "Meet the Press" yesterday, the Republican nominee confirmed those plans to NBC's Chuck Todd.
"Look, what's on my mind is beating Hillary Clinton. What's on my mind is winning for the Republican Party. With that being said, yeah, I'll probably do a super PAC, you know, when they run against Kasich, for $10 million to $20 million, against Ted Cruz. And maybe one other person that I'm thinking about."
Asked who the other Republican might be, Trump told the host, "I won't tell you that."
All of this should be quite alarming for GOP officials for a variety of reasons, some more obvious than others.
On eve of Democratic convention, DNC chair steps aside
In the end, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) ran out of allies. For months, the Democratic National Committee chairwoman faced quiet criticisms from party insiders, coupled with much louder rebukes from Bernie Sanders and his allies, who believed the DNC wasn't entirely neutral during the presidential primaries.
Last week, after nearly 20,000 DNC emails, apparently stolen by Russian hackers, showed up on WikiLeaks, Wasserman Schultz's tenure became even more controversial. Late yesterday, on the eve of the party's national convention, the Florida congresswoman announced she's stepping down from her leadership post.
"Going forward, the best way for me to accomplish those goals is to step down as Party Chair at the end of this convention," Wasserman Schultz said in a lengthy statement Sunday announcing her resignation. "I will open and close the Convention and I will address our delegates about the stakes involved in this election not only for Democrats, but for all Americans.""We have planned a great and unified Convention this week and I hope and expect that the DNC team that has worked so hard to get us to this point will have the strong support of all Democrats in making sure this is the best convention we have ever had," she added.
DNC Vice Chair Donna Brazile will step up, serving as Interim Chair for the rest of the election season. It will be her second term: Brazile, who also served as Al Gore's campaign manager, led the DNC in 2011, following Tim Kaine's chairmanship.
Wasserman Schultz has also stepped aside as chair of the Democratic National Convention, handing the reins to Rep. Marcia Fudge (D-Ohio).
As a practical matter, the impact of the shake-up will probably be relatively modest: once a presumptive nominee emerges, he or she effectively takes control of the party apparatus. In the Democrats' case, Hillary Clinton's campaign had already installed Brandon Davis at the DNC, and he's been overseeing day-to-day coordination on behalf of the candidate for weeks.
What's more, as a historical matter, there's some precedent for moves like these. As Michael Beschloss noted yesterday, Adlai Stevenson, John Kennedy, and George McGovern "all forced out the sitting Democratic national chair as soon as they got the nomination."
But the broader circumstances matter: for Sanders and his allies, Wasserman Schultz had become a villain. Her departure offers evidence of a party that still takes Team Bernie's concerns seriously, and constitutes the latest in a series of important internal victories for the Vermont senator.
New questions surround Putin's interest in Trump's election
In his first public remarks as a vice presidential candidate, Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) took some time to highlight Donald Trump's ugly rhetorical record. "Donald Trump trash talks folks with disabilities," Kaine noted, "trash talks Mexican Americans and Latinos, whether they're new immigrants or governors or federal judges; trash talks women; trash talks our allies; and calls the military a disaster."
After someone in the Miami audience made a comment that was hard to hear, Kaine paused and said, "Oh, you're right, he doesn't trash talk everybody -- he likes Vladimir Putin."
Interest in the Republican presidential candidate's ties to -- and affection for -- Russia's autocratic leader have been simmering for months, but what was once a relatively obscure issue is making its way from the back-burner to the front. ABC News had this report yesterday:
Hillary Clinton's campaign manager Robby Mook said candidate Donald was pushing for a "pro-Russian" platform and cited experts who say that Russian state actors were behind the recent leak of Democratic National Committee emails in an attempt to help Trump win."Experts are telling us that Russian state actors broke into the DNC, took all these emails, and now are leaking them out through these websites," Mook told ABC's "This Week" on Sunday. "It's troubling that some experts are now telling us that this was done by the Russians for the purpose of helping Donald Trump."Mook also suggested that the GOP nominee altered the Republican party platform to make it more attractive to Russian President Vladimir Putin's regime. "It was concerning last week that Donald Trump changed the Republican platform to become what some experts would regard as pro-Russian," Mook said.
Paul Manafort, Trump's campaign chairman, called the allegations "pure obfuscation," which (a) is an odd way to phrase a denial; and (b) dubious given Manafort's own ties to Putin's regime.
Team Trump's credibility problems notwithstanding, it's not overstating matters to suggest Russia's alleged interference in the U.S. presidential election may be the biggest political bombshell of the year -- or in several years. I realize there are plenty of shiny objects on the political landscape, but this is becoming an issue that shouldn't be ignored.
The evidence is not yet conclusive. The available information, however, points in an alarming direction:

Woman dies in car crash in Lyman; 1,084 killed on state's roads in 2005
Published: Sunday, January 1, 2006 at 3:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, December 31, 2005 at 12:00 a.m.
A 45-year-old woman died Saturday in a head-on collision on Hampton Road in Lyman.
Debbie Waddell, of 307 Tyger Fox Drive, died at the accident scene, said Spartanburg County coroner's investigator Joseph Stewart.
The accident occurred at about 3:20 p.m. near the intersection with Lindsey Ridge Road. At least one other person was transported via helicopter to Spartanburg Regional Medical Center.
Waddell was driving a 1997 Honda Civic and was wearing her seat belt, Stewart said. The Lyman Police Department, which investigated the wreck, could not be reached for further information.
The year was a deadly one on state roads.
According to the state Department of Public Safety's Web site, 1,084 had been killed on the state's roads as of Dec. 29. There were 971 fatal crashes, and 584 of those killed were wearing their seat belts.
By comparison, 1,039 people died on South Carolina's roads in 2004, when there were 940 fatal crashes.

Restored for Romance
You will catch your first glimpse of Relais Maresca from the ferry as it approaches the colorful houses in Capri's historic fishing village of Marina Grande. The residence was built at this spot overlooking the Mediterranean at the end of the 19th century by the American Colonel John Clay Mackowen, and later became one of Capri's first historic hotels.
More than a century has passed since the Hotel Relais Maresca first began welcoming travellers to this stunning island, but the original hospitable atmosphere of an authentic fishing village has remained unchanged, especially as evening falls and the daytrippers to the island have left.
Rooms to Fall in Love In
The interiors of Relais Maresca's perfectly sound-proofed bedrooms, almost all of which boast spectacular views of the Bay of Naples, are decorated in classic Capri style, with majolica floor tiles the color of the sea, soft white drapes and luxurious Italian linen.
An endless view of Capri's sky and sea await guests who book the exclusive Attic room with a private terrace at Relais Maresca. Relax and sunbathe or dine in perfect privacy against the backdrop of the Bay of Naples.
Enjoy the comfort and services of a 4 star hotel in Capri with personalized attention and breathtaking views over the sea surrounding Capri from the balconies of select rooms and the hotel terrace where guests can gather to dine or relax.
Life at theTop
The signature feature of the Relais Maresca is, without doubt, the terrace restaurant, where guests enjoy the fresh fish and delicious local pasta dishes paired with the best local and national wines whilst gazing down over the buzzing port of Capri below.
The menu at Relais Maresca includes gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan dishes, so everyone can enjoy a meal to remember!
Around and About Capri
Guests at the Relais Maresca are just steps from the Marina Grande beach, the perfect location for organizing a day at sea, perhaps even a boat tour of the island onboard a traditional gozzo fishing boat, to discover the prettiest beaches and most breathtaking sea caves. Those who want to explore further afield can easily cross over to the Amalfi Coast for a day in Positano.
Just ask the hotel staff to help arrange a private tour or transfer... or even a relaxing spa treatment right in the hotel!

"I will make thee a new sharp threshing instrument" (Isa. 41:15).
A bar of steel worth five dollars, when wrought into horseshoes, is worth ten dollars. If made into needles, it is worth three hundred and fifty dollars; if into penknife blades, it is worth thirty-two thousand dollars; if into springs for watches it is worth two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. What a drilling the poor bar must undergo to be worth this! But the more it is manipulated, the more it is hammered and passed through the fire, and beaten and pounded and polished, the greater the value.
May this parable help us to be silent, still, and longsuffering. Those who suffer most are capable of yielding most; and it is through pain that God is getting the most out of us, for His glory and the blessing of others. –Selected
"Oh, give Thy servant patience to be still,
And bear Thy will;
Courage to venture wholly on the arm
That will not harm;
The wisdom that will never let me stray
Out of my way;
The love that, now afflicting, knoweth best
When I should rest."
Life is very mysterious. Indeed it would be inexplicable unless we believed that God was preparing us for scenes and ministries that lie beyond the veil of sense in the eternal world, where highly-tempered spirits will be required for special service.
"The turning-lathe that has the sharpest knives produces the finest work."

The Bellator featherweight title has a new challenger as Daniel Straus became the Bellator Season 6 Featherweight Tournament Champion with a dominating victory over Marlon Sandro. In additional tournament action, Marcos Galvao will move on to the finals of the Bellator Season 6 Bantamweight Tournament, while Marius Zaromskis and Marcin Held picked up victories at Bellator 68 from Caesars Atlantic City in New Jersey on Friday night.
"Daniel Straus was able to break through with a huge win in a loaded featherweight tournament and earn his shot at the world title," Bellator Chairman & CEO Bjorn Rebney said. "Marcin Held was able to continue his assault on the legs of his opponents with another submission victory and Marcos Galvao continues to impress with another close fought victory over Travis Marx."
Two of the top featherweights in the world met inside the Bellator cage as Marlon Sandro and Daniel Straus fought with the winner claiming the Bellator Season 6 Featherweight Tournament Championship and a $100,000 payday.
Known for his aggressive striking and exceptional cardio, Straus showed early on why he made it to the finals of the Featherweight Tournament. While Sandro appeared hesitant at times, Straus was constantly moving forward and pushing the action for the duration of the fight. Landing the crisper strikes, Straus found a way to control Sandro while both striking and in the clinch. After three entertaining rounds, a new tournament champion was crowned as Daniel Straus walked away with the unanimous decision victory.
"I'm going to keep improving, I'm going to get better," said Straus. "I have to go back to the drawing board and prepare for my title shot."
With the unanimous decision win, Daniel Straus becomes the Bellator Season 6 Featherweight Tournament Champion and earns the biggest victory of his career. His record improves to 20-4, while Marlon Sandro loses for just the fourth time in 26 contests.
For Marcos Galvao and Travis Marx, a victory in the semifinals of the Bellator Season 6 Bantamweight Tournament would bring them one step closer to an opportunity to face Bellator bantamweight world champion Eduardo "Dudu" Dantas.
Marx showed occasional moments of dominance, however, Galvao appeared to be in control for most of the fight. Galvao, who clearly had the advantage in the stand-up, landed combinations of punches, kicks to the body and knees. Although Marx attempted to press Galvao against the cage and secure a takedown, Galvao was able to stuff all but one. After three intense, action-packed rounds, the cageside judges scored the fight in favor of Marcos Galvao.
"It's been my dream since I was a kid," said Galvao. "I know I'm going to win this tournament."
With the victory, Marcos Galvao will now move to the final round of the Bellator Season 6 Bantamweight Tournament and face the winner of the Luis Nogueira vs. Hiroshi Nakamura later this year. His record improves to 12-5. Travis Marx loses for just the fourth time in his professional career as his record falls to 19-4.
Following his last fight inside the Bellator cage, a split decision victory over Phillipe Nover at Bellator 59, 20-year-old Polish lightweight Marcin Held looked to make a greater impression Friday night against New Jersey's own Derrick Kennington. The fight started with Kennington moving forward, looking to keep the fight standing. After landing a kick to the body of Held, Kennington was forced to defend a takedown, but Held quickly latched on to Kennington's leg and secured a leg lock. Kennington was forced to tap at 2:08 of the first round.
"I wanted to fight standing up, but my opponent was better than me there," said Held. "I tried my strength, which was the leg lock, and it worked."
With the submission win, Marcin Held earned his second straight victory in the Bellator cage and improved his record to 13-2 in his emerging career. Kennington, dropped to 6-3 in his Bellator debut.
In the first televised fight of the evening, Lithuanian welterweight Marius Zaromskis made his highly anticipated Bellator debut opposite hard-hitting Bellator veteran Waachiim Spiritwolf.
In the first round, Spiritwolf was able to utilize the clinch as he pinned Zaromskis against the cage. A Zaromskis elbow opened a deep cut near the right eye of Spiritwolf that would later prove to be pivotal. The second round appeared more one-sided for Spiritwolf than the first. After landing a series of punches to the jaw of Zaromskis, Spiritwolf began to unload on his hurt opponent but was unable to put him away. However, between the second and third round, the ringside physician stopped the fight, citing the cut near the eye of Spiritwolf.
With the doctor stoppage victory, Marius Zaromskis earned his first win under the Bellator banner and improved to 17-6 overall. Waachim Spiritwolf fell to 9-10-1 in a hard-fought performance.
A bout between Carmelo Marrero and Seth Petruzelli was nixed at the last minute when a doctor examining Petruzelli prior to the fight would not clear him for competition.
"Guys, I have unbelievable news. The doc wouldn't clear me to fight," Petruzelli wrote on his Twitter account. "I have been feeling sick for past week, but haven't told anyone. When the doc checked me he said he heard wheezing and fluid in my lungs. Got a 2nd doc for another opinion and he said same thing. I am so sorry…I feel like I'm in a nightmare."
Bellator 69 takes place next Friday, May 18, in Lake Charles, La., with a highly anticipated women's bout between Megumi Fujii and Jessica Aguilar.

Hi, this is David and he is 8 years old. He was diagnosed with autism when he was 21 months old. David is a loving, sweet, polite boy who truly enjoys life. He is always happy and laughing. He enjoys playing on his iPad, playing with his toys and being up in New Hampshire at his camper. Although David is such a happy, fun loving boy he has a lot of anxieties and trouble regulating his emotions at times. David is fearful of the dark, nightmares, being alone and sleeping. He also struggles with going to the doctors and/or places with a lot of people, especially if there is a high demand of expectations put on him.
Meet Thekla. She is a sweet, strong, hard working 8 year old little girl. She has loved animals, especially dogs and horses since we can remember. She constantly plays pretend with her stables of toy farm animals. She also pretends she is puppy and makes her 87 year old grandfather get on the floor to play with her.
Hi my name is Lillian Fraser-Gray and I am 12 years old. I have been in intensive therapy since 18 months old. I have been diagnosed with Pervasive Developmental Disorder, moderate retardation, Major Anxiety Disorder, ADHD, Mood Disorder, Auditory Processing Disorder, Mixed Receptive and Expressive Language Disorder, Sensory Integration Disorder, and cognitively stuck at about mid-kindergarten level. I have a very hard time dealing with all things going on around me. I am very happy to be in this process for a service dog to help me remain calm so that I may go out into the world and not be afraid or able to handle it. I am truly happy and eager to be able for this opportunity and grateful for NEADS.
Thank you very much,
Martha is a 16-year-old girl diagnosed with autism who struggles daily to communicate her wants and needs to others. She attends school at Nashoba Learning Group where she has made great strides. We feel a NEADS dog will help Martha develop her social skills as it accompanies her on outings in the community. The dog will also be a companion for Martha, who, because of her disability, does not have the peer relationships of a typical teenager. Having a dog will also give Martha a feeling of responsibility as she will be feeding and walking him/her.
Hi there, my name is Grace Kong and I was diagnosed with autism at 2 ½ years old. I am almost 8 years old now and have come a long way, but I am still non-verbal and face many life challenges as I continue to grow into a young lady. My parents did a lot of research and we visited the NEADS organization early this year and met their wonderful and dedicated staff. We also met Jake, a Black Labrador Retriever, who I immediately bonded with and put me at ease. My family and the NEADS organization agreed that I could really benefit tremendously from the consistent companionship of a service dog. My family would greatly appreciate your support in helping me fundraise for a service dog that would provide a calm presence in preventing my meltdowns and frustrations, helping me with my irregular sleep habits. Thanks in advance as my parents and I look forward to welcoming our newest member to the family.
Hi! I'm Olivia and I am so excited to have Rigney - my social dog! I have high-functioning autism with a sensory processing disorder and generalized anxiety disorder – this cause me to be a worry wart. Every day I worry about everything. Even though I love to have fun and play with my friends and learn at school, I worry about people being naughty and unkind words, and unknown things. Sometimes I hide when I worry.
Hello. My name is Billy and I am 11 years old. I have severe anxiety, Asperger's Syndrome (high functioning autism), and ADHD. I find it very difficult to be in social situations, or even just leave the house because of the Asperger's and anxiety. This past January my Mom removed me from public school because it was too over stimulating and stressful for me. My attendance was atrocious and my grades slipped dramatically. I am now homeschooled and it is a much better situation for me. My grades have improved and I made High Honor Roll while homeschooling.
Hi I'm Matte and I'm 9 years old. I'm looking for a way to feel safe and secure. I have been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, ie Asperger's, ADHD, and Generalized Anxiety Disorder. I am very fearful of many things such as darkness, loud noises, crowded places, even the outdoors. I have difficulty with self-regulation and control. At school I was teased and didn't enjoy myself. I can often feel anxious and overwhelmed. I have trouble falling asleep and often can't settle my mind. Today I went to NEADS and met a service dog, it was amazing! I really need a service dog to be by my side. I need a friend that will love me all the time just the way I am. I think having a dog will make me feel safe and strong (because I will play with him outside) Please help me with my fund raising so that I can grow,
learn, and laugh with my new best friend. Thank you
My name is Josh, I'm 12 years old and I live in Sudbury, MA. I was diagnosed on the Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) with Asperger's a few months ago. I have struggled with different things such as anxiety/depression, regulating my emotions, insomnia and forming and keeping friendships since I was young. I also have nut allergies and get really upset when I have to go to the doctor or dentist. It's hard for me to work in groups and on teams and I miss opportunities to do things with other kids. It's been especially hard for me this past year and I've missed a significant number of school days. I've felt trapped at school in 7th grade and can't concentrate very well.
Hi, my name is Brennan and I am 12 years old. I was diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome and anxiety about 6 years ago. I am a very sweet and sensitive boy. I like to make people happy. I enjoy playing video games because they help me to stop worrying about things and move on from bad times. I like being with my family. I enjoy swimming, too.
My name is Maddy, I'm 15 years old and I live in Raynham, MA. I was diagnosed with ASD (Asperger's) when I was twelve years old. I have struggled with different things such as anxiety/depression, regulating my emotions, forming friendships and eating since I was little. I also have a hard time when I am not in my own environment and going to school has always been hard for me. I feel best when I am at home. I really feel like having a social dog will help me a lot with all of these things.

This place is like a hidden gem, tucked away from all the craziness of Miami. We stayed in the water front room, which was beautifully decorated, the balcony was great, the entire room was very relaxing. The pool was great, we stayed during off season, so there were barely any people there, so we got to use the waterfall jacuzzi at all times. Food is great, it is pricey, but hey you're on a private island!!! There's a bar by the pool, with tvs and some great fun drinks!
The creme brulee is the best one I've tried so far! I've never seen a more fancy brunch buffet. Lots of seafood, regular breakfast stuff, dessert, and unlimited mimosas. The waiter even gave us our own bottle of champagne!
The island is beautiful and very peaceful. It's small and perfect for late night walks.
Everyone that worked there was very nice. This place definitely puts South Beach to shame. We will definitely return to this hotel in the future.

A mysterious hacking group has been stealing U.S. secrets for years
A mysterious hacking group has been stealing U.S. secrets for years
A mysterious hacking group has had access to U.S. government files for years and the hackers might still be able to siphon data off government computer networks. The hack apparently dates back to 2011, though it may be linked to attacks on the U.S. government's computer infrastructure originating in 2008.
Apple confident it'll find and patch the FBI's iPhone hack
Apple confident it'll find and patch the FBI's iPhone hack
Apple's fight with the FBI over the San Bernardino shooter's iPhone isn't over yet because now Apple has to figure out how the FBI actually hacked into the device without Apple's help.
The FBI did not reveal to Apple how it bypassed the security protocols built into iOS, but the bureau told law enforcement agencies that it will help them in their investigations. Even if it doesn't provide specifics about the iPhone hack at its disposal, the more iPhones the FBI unlocks for criminal cases, the more likely Apple will be able to figure out how it's gaining access.

Forget iPhone encryption, the FBI can't legally touch the software ISIS uses
Forget iPhone encryption, the FBI can't legally touch the software ISIS uses
The FBI insists that encrypted products like the iPhone and encrypted online services will put people in harm's way, especially in light of the ISIS-connected San Bernardino shooting late last year. That's why the Bureau has been arguing for encryption backdoors that would be available to law enforcement agencies, and why it looked to coerce Apple to add a backdoor to iOS.
However, extensive reports that show the preparations ISIS made before hitting Paris and Brussels revealed the kind of encrypted products ISIS radicals used to stay in touch with central command. Unsurprisingly, these products are out of the FBI's jurisdiction, and one in particular was one of the safest encrypted communication products you can find online. In fact,its original developers are suspected to have ties to the criminal underworld. More →

Would it be any easier for the FBI to crack Android?
Much has been written about the massive fight between the FBI and Apple over encryption in the high-profile San Bernardino shooting case. Apple has won the battle for the time being, though the FBI has managed to break into the phone without Apple's help. What's more, the Bureau will soon help hack into other iOS devices that law enforcement agencies across the country want to unlock.

It has begun: The FBI will unlock other iPhones in criminal investigations
We were wondering whether the FBI will agree to use in other cases the same hack that unlocked the San Bernardino iPhone just earlier this week, and it turns out the agency is more than willing to share its newly acquired know-how to help other law enforcement agencies solve their on-going investigations. Just days after it confirmed it didn't need Apple to access the local files of the iPhone 5c that belonged to one of the San Bernardino shooters, the FBI agreed to assist an Arkansas prosecutor unlock an iPhone and iPod that may contain relevant evidence to a double homicide case.

Apple's battle with the FBI is over for now, but not for good
Apple's battle with the FBI is over for now, but not for good
Now that the FBI no longer needs Apple's help to access the iPhone of one of the San Bernardino terrorists, one might reasonably think that the long and publicly drawn-out debate over mobile encryption, government surveillance, user privacy and national security will settle down and fade from public view.
And for a while, it most likely will. Still, even though Apple may have won this specific battle with the FBI over one particular iPhone, nothing has truly been resolved aside from the FBI figuring out a way to hack into Apple's 2013 iPhone 5c. In the future, there is no doubt that the FBI and other law enforcement agencies will stumble across more advanced and secure iPhone models they're unable to access.
iPhone hacking case highlights FBI's lack of tech expertise
iPhone hacking case highlights FBI's lack of tech expertise
Apple's legal saga with the FBI may have finally come to an anti-climactic resolution, but the issues that the case brought to the forefront will undoubtedly rise again. In the future, there will inevitably be another strategically important smartphone, perhaps an iPhone, that the FBI won't be able to access by itself.
One of the more interesting issues to arise out of Apple's legal wrangling with the FBI is that the mighty FBI's tech prowess is seemingly far less sophisticated than some may have initially assumed. In fact, the FBI's inability to access the locked iPhone of one of the San Bernardino shooters was so surprising and incongruous that Apple in one of its legal briefs was even compelled to ask if the FBI really tried all that hard to hack into the device.
How Apple could force the FBI to explain San Bernardino iPhone hack
How Apple could force the FBI to explain San Bernardino iPhone hack
Apple beat the FBI this week, as it avoided a legal battle against the law enforcement agency over creating a backdoor into the San Bernardino iPhone. The war on encryption isn't over yet, as both parties aren't necessarily happy with this temporary solution. For the FBI, accessing the iPhone belonging to one of the San Bernardino shooters is crucial, but doesn't solve its bigger problem: spying on encrypted communications or devices. Apple, on the other hand, is reportedly working on beefing up iPhone security. But for now, it has one other problem: the world knows there is a way to get peek at the data stored on an encrypted iPhone without knowing the PIN or password.
The FBI did not say whether it'll share the vulnerability it discovered and successfully used on the San Bernardino iPhone 5c, with the help of an unnamed security company. But Apple might be able to use other legal cases that involve iPhones to force the Bureau to explain the hack. More →
Apple can't force the FBI to reveal how it broke into the San Bernardino iPhone
Apple can't force the FBI to reveal how it broke into the San Bernardino iPhone
The FBI confirmed on Monday what many people suspected: The San Bernardino iPhone can be unlocked without Apple's help.
Using the services of a security company familiar with the inner workings of iOS 9 and the iPhone, the FBI cracked Apple's security features. The agency bypassed the San Bernardino iPhone's encryption and was able to retrieve the data stored on the iPhone using a mysterious technique that rendered phone's the PIN protection useless.
As much as it would obviously like to, Apple can't force the FBI to disclose the security hole, which means others could use a similar hack to break into iPhones in the future until Apple discovers the vulnerability and patches it. More →
Lessons the FBI should learn from the San Bernardino iPhone debacle
Lessons the FBI should learn from the San Bernardino iPhone debacle
The FBI has for the time being given up on its quest to force Apple to write a separate "GovtOS" to help law enforcement officials bypass the iPhone's security protocols. Although the agency succeeded in finding a way to hack into the iPhone 5c used by San Bernardino shooter Syed Farook, it will not get to set a precedent where it can order tech companies to write software that will break their own products' security.
As Apple explained this week, this is a case that the FBI and Department of Justice should have never pursued and I'd like to think that the government has learned some important lessons from this fiasco… though I'm not holding my breath. More →

Read Apple's full response to the FBI: 'This case should never have been brought'
Apple won a first battle against the FBI over iPhone encryption this week, as the law enforcement agency decided to back off in the San Bernardino case. The war is far from being over, as Apple will almost certainly have to face off against the FBI in the future. And that's just one of Apple's problems. Let's not forget that a third party did for the FBI what Apple wouldn't. That means there's a way to bypass iPhone encryption that sidesteps Apple, and the Cupertino crew has no idea what it is.
Meanwhile, Apple issued a response to the FBI that follows below, in full. More →

Apple's legal battle with the FBI over the San Bernardino shooter's locked iPhone has comes to an end
Apple's battle with the FBI has at long last come to a conclusion. On Monday afternoon, the DOJ asked a California judge to vacate a previous order which would have forced Apple to create a modified version of iOS.
According to today's court filing, the DOJ's decision to put a halt to all pending legal action came after the FBI successfully managed to access the iPhone of one of the San Bernardino terrorists. As we reported last week, it appears that the FBI managed to bypass iOS' security mechanisms with the help of an Israeli company called Cellebrite.

COLUMBIA — South Carolina knew it would be playing without Bruce Ellington on Saturday. The Gamecocks didn't expect to be missing senior guard LaShay Page or freshman forward Michael Carrera as well.
Ellington, the leading receiver for the Gamecocks football team, is in Tampa, Fla., preparing to play Michigan in the Outback Bowl on Tuesday. Page missed his second straight game dealing with an academic issue and Carrera was out of Saturday's contest with Presbyterian with a left hip injury.
But with three of South Carolina's top four scorers missing, Brian Richardson and Damien Leonard had their best scoring games of the season to lead the Gamecocks to a victory over the Blue Hose.
"I was happy we somehow we figured out a way to win," South Carolina coach Frank Martin said. "We were so bad in practice yesterday I didn't show up to the arena with much expectations."
Richardson scored 16 points, one short of his career high, and Leonard added a season-high 15 as South Carolina (9-3) won its fourth straight game, its longest winning streak this season.
"Obviously it's frustrating having guys out and not having players that do certain things, but we have to grind it out and do the same things we normally do," Richardson said. "Missing those guys, that's a great part of our team and our offense. Missing them was kind of tough, but we pulled through and found a way to get the win."
South Carolina trailed only after the opening basket and took control in the first half behind 12 points from Richardson. The Gamecocks shot 57.1 percent (16 of 28) in the half, including 5-for-8 on 3-pointers. Richardson made 4 of 5 from the field, including 3 of 4 behind the arc.
"I was confident in my shot and my teammates trusted me," Richardson said. "It helped to us to make shots early in the game."
Leonard had scored only 20 points in 11 games this season and wasn't used at all in two of the last four games. But he played a season-high 25 minutes against the Blue Hose (2-11) and responded with his best effort since scoring 19 points against Kentucky last season. He was 5-for-8 from the field and made two 3-pointers.
Martin said Leonard has stayed with the system and has earned his playing time.
"We have confidence in all the guys on our team," Martin said. "We're going to play guys that show us through preparation that they are prepared to play and be trusted. He's stayed the course and Damien is starting to get better with his consistency."
The Gamecocks increased their lead to as many as 20 points in the second half and were up 52-32 with just under 13 minutes left before Presbyterian made a run behind Jordan Downing and Khalid Mutakabbir. A 17-7 run trimmed the deficit to nine points, 63-54 with 4:19 left, but South Carolina responded with 11 straight points.
The run started with a second technical foul on coach Greg Nibert after a foul call with 4:02 remaining. Richardson made both technical foul shots and 1 of 2 free throws on the call Nibert was arguing. Mindaugas Kacinas followed Richardson's missed free throw with a layup to push the lead back to 14 points before the Blue Hose had possession again.
Kacinas added 13 points for South Carolina and Lakeem Jackson chipped in 10 points. Downing led Presbyterian with 19 points before fouling out and Mutakabbir added 17.

Parents can trump mentors…
Back on July 8th, I wrote a brief post about mentoring. Hopefully, some of you read it. In case you didn't, I made the completely unsupported claim that mentors don't normally create interest, they merely nurture the interests that are already there. They also serve to help remove the obstacles that frustrate the enthusiasm of newcomers, providing material, advise, or inspiration.
Gee, that sounds like a parent, doesn't it?
Last week, I had the opportunity to think about this topic a lot. On Wednesday, I got to tell this
story, which I'll go ahead and tell you now.
When I was sixteen or so, I can remember being in my grandmother's dining room, excitedly explaining something about my (then new) Atari computer to her. Remember: this was 1981 or so, and I think it was moderately safe to say that grandmothers as a demographic were fairly ignorant of microprocessors. But my enthusiasm was bubbling over, and she patiently listened to me until I was forced to take a breath and wandered away.
She wandered back into the kitchen, and had the following conversation with my Mom:
Grandma: "Boy, Mark sure seems to know a lot about computers, huh?"
Mom: "Yeah, he's pretty smart."
Grandma: "I haven't the faintest idea what he's talking about."
Mom: "Yeah, me neither."
Grandma: "He doesn't seem to mind though."
Mom: "Nope, just keep nodding and smiling. He doesn't care if you understand, he just wants you to listen.
I used to believe that this story was about my grandmother. She was, after all, a remarkable woman. She taught me a lot: how to cook, how to crochet. Most of the money I spent on that first computer came from mowing her lawns. She made me lemonade on hot days. She would make pies and cobblers from the blackberries and huckleberries I'd pick. When I got my driver's license, I would drive her on errands. Sadly, when college came, I saw quite a bit less of her. Her breast cancer reasserted itself, and she passed away about 26 years ago. I still miss her, and think of her when I make pickles, potato salad, or pork shoulder.
But I didn't realize until last week that this story was also about my mom. She too, was a remarkable woman. After all, in 1980, she was willing to support the insane desire of a sixteen year old boy to learn about computers. She didn't have any expertise, but she patiently accepted that what I wanted to learn about good for me, and she did all she could to help remove the barriers that might have stymied my initial interest. That early interest blossomed into a rewarding career and remains the core of the intellectual joys that you get a glimpse of through my blog. And of course, she was my mom, and loved me (and the rest of her children) with the kind of love that only a mother can.
On Friday July 8th, I received a phone call that my Mom had passed away. I got to tell the story I just related to you at her funeral to her friends and family.
In the grand scheme of things, expertise isn't that important. Knowledge isn't that important. My mother and grandmother didn't have any expertise or special insight into what I was doing. What they did have was love, and that love gave them faith that the path that I saw for myself (even at age 16) was worth supporting and aiding. They removed obstacles. They loved me for who I was and what I wanted to do, unconditionally.
I cannot begin to express the degree to which she will be missed.
Addendum: You might have asked where Dad was in all of this. Dad was awesome too. At age ten or so, I got it into my head that I wanted to build a telescope. I had read some book that said you could do it. Without any real expertise, he supported the project. We sent off to Edmund Scientific and got a mirror grinding kit to make a 6" mirror. We dutifully ground and polished it. But in the midst of that project, he developed Hodgkin's lymphoma, which eventually claimed his life in 1978, and I never got to finishing the mirror or putting it into a telescope. Years later, I moved to California, and discovered the Telescope Maker's Workshop at the Chabot Science Center in Oakland. I got it into my head that I would like to finish the telescope I had started all those years ago. My mom still had it tucked away in her closet. With help from the workshop, I finished that mirror (and went on to help many others do the same as a volunteer instructor) and finished the scope (mostly, it could still use some paint) with the help of my brother. I still have the scope, and will never sell it.
This week, I do feel sad for my loss, but there is no need for pity. All three of the people I've lost have left my life full of joy. If I could do the same, I'd consider my own life "well lived".
Touching stories mate.
I too have a lot to owe to my parents for supporting my crazy interests that too turned into a career of sorts.
Sorry for your loss.
I'm sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing the story.
Thank you for sharing this. Inspiring and touching. I'm sorry for your loss.
Truly sorry for your loss, and thanks for sharing this story, it is inspiring, sad, and yet good to hear all at once. And it is very true, a parent holding that door open so a child's curiosity can flourish, is priceless.
