It could be hard disk or something, the macbook wont turn on. I dont suspect harddisk though. I would like to back up the data from my hard drive. I am going to open it but can someone guide me how to interface it to my other Laptop (Windows) via us or other means, how to interface it to retrieve my data, assuming that the hard disk is ok.
If it won't turn on at all, you will need to remove the drive and connect it to a USB to SATA dongle/enclosure.
This will provide a physical interface to the drive, but unfortunately Windows doesn't natively speak HFS+, which is the file system on your mac drive. You might be able to use hfsexplorer to read the data from the drive.

In the aftermath of the Newtown, Conn., shooting massacre, more than 30 nursing organizations joined the American Nurses Association in sending a call to action to President Barack Obama and leaders of Congress, the National Governors Association and the United States Conference of Mayors.
"The nations nurses demand that political and community leaders across this country address long-standing societal needs to help curb this endless cycle of senseless violence," the organizations wrote.
The groups noted that during the past decade, "ill-advised and shortsighted cutbacks within schools and community health systems have seriously impeded critical and needed access to school nurses and mental health professionals trained to recognize and intervene early with those who are at risk for violent behavior."
The groups urged swift action to avert more such acts of violence. In the statement, they called on policymakers to restore access to mental health services for individuals and families, increase students access to nurses and mental health professionals from the elementary school level through college, and ban assault weapons and enact other meaningful gun control reforms to protect society.
Among the groups signing the letter were the ANA and more than 20 state nursing organizations, the American Academy of Nursing, American Psychiatric Nursing Association, Association of Nurses in AIDS Care, Association of Womens Health, Obstetric and Neonatal Nurses, Infusion Nurses Society, National Association of Clinical Nurse Specialists, National Association of Orthopedic Nurses, National Association of School Nurses, National League for Nursing, Nurses Organization of Veteran Affairs, Preventive Cardiovascular Nurses Association and Wound, Ostomy and Continence Nurses Society.

The QNB Hack: Cui Bono?
The Dump
The recent dump of data from the Qatari National Bank was of interest to me and many others because it was purporting to have the accounts and identities of spies within it's csv and text files. I downloaded the files from Cryptome thanks to someone pointing me in their direction and took a nice long look. As the story has unfolded it has come to light that the bank itself says the data is real and that they are now "completely secure" which is amusing given that this was an ols SQLi attack that netted this Turkish hacker group the jewels of QNB.
The dump consists of the oracle database files, the passwords, and the banking information of all the users therein. I have to say that most of it is really quite pedestrian but then the hackers, or the bank management, created file folders (as seen above) that marked people as spies, Mukhabarat, Security, Gov, and other tantalizing names. I first had thought that the file folders and their speculative names had been created by the hackers to sex up their dump but it has come to light that if you look within the database dump itself you see the directories and names have headings like intelligence and defence. So it seems that the bank itself may in point of fact created these tags in the belief or inside knowledge that the people in the data were in fact what they claimed, or at least thought they were.
The Spies
I looked at all the interesting folders and the data all the while wondering about the validity of the idea that these names were in fact corresponding to real assets, NOC's or just functionaries in Qatari space that had just been quite well blown by this hack and subsequent data dump. On the whole I would call into question all of the names being linked directly to espionage organs. I really have to wonder if the bank would in fact be that "in the know" about spooks in their country and really have to be circumspect about their putting that in the users bank records. I mean even the Mukhabarat would at least demand that it be obfuscated one would hope by a code of some sort and not just in the headers/directories themselves.
It really kind of feels like the natural tendencies of the Arab nature had gotten the best of the database admin and the managers of the bank and they believed that these people were spies without there being any real proof. In any case, if these people, especially those who are FORN and in country, now may have some trouble with people thinking that they are really spies and subject to attacks. Imagine if you will any jihadi types who might take this data as gospel and go after these people for da'esh or AQ. This could be bad. I have yet to hear of anyone leaving their positions or the country. If I were one of them I would at least be looking over my shoulder henceforth.
The other data I can see perhaps the military accounts and names being totally on the money because they are their own Ministry of Defence and really, that is not top secret stuff. Likely the bank see's where these people get their pay from (Qatari funds from the gov) but even these people could now be targets because this hack was motivated by political means it seems after all.
Cui Bono?
It seems that the Bozkurtlar (Grey Wolves) a Turkish political group and their hackers were the perpetrators of this hack. There is a long history between Turkey and Qatar and most of it seems kind of benign but when you scratch the surface a bit you can see that there are some issues between them as well as some synergies in their support of certain terrorist groups like da'esh. (click linked image below)
So, "Cui Bono?" Well, certainly the Grey Wolves, to what end I am not completely sure. They did post their video before the hack hit the pastebins out on the net so it was pretty much their gig but I still don't quite understand why. Perhaps these hackers are quasi wolves and or it is some other entity using the wolves as a cover for their activities. Given that there has been no real perceived fire coming out of Qatar over this nor in other areas of the world that we are aware of, I kind of doubt all these people were in fact assets of foreign powers.
At the end of the day, this just turns out to be yet another derpy easy hack using SQLi on an entity that wasn't performing any due diligence but it had the sexy sexy for the masses with the idea that some great hack exposing spies had occurred. In my opinion not so much really. So hey Grey Wolves, gimme some more context would you than some poos British shmucks MySpace page in the future would you?
Commentary: OPM Is Just Another Link In The CyberFail Chain
OPM is the exemplar of how our government deals with information security, or should I say doesn't deal with it. Some will say that there are many mitigating circumstances like old systems that cannot be updated that caused much of the failures that lead to the OPM being compromised for over a year. However, the subsequent pivoting by the adversaries into many other networks we have not begun to even discuss as a nation yet because we are now media and governmentally fixated on the fact that the adversary had access to SF86 forms. Forms mind you that should be one of the better protected things out of all the possible things the government holds in it's systems. So far the discourse in the media has been more sensationally oriented on the magic secret code names that the likes of Crowdstrike and Mandiant have come up with respectively for actors. Actors that they claim with varying vociferousness are in fact China whether it be the PLA (People's Liberation Army) or the MSS (Ministry of State Security) though neither is accepting the pure hubris of all their press releases and anonymous or semi anonymous back-channel chats with the media in hopes of more attention.
Whether or not these attacks were from China and their varying and vying espionage organs is rather irrelevant now and everyone needs to understand this. The cat is proverbially out of the bag here and by the cat slipping the bag, we now notice that the emperor who was holding that burlap sack of cat is in fact naked. Or at least that should be the story here but as you can see from the stories filed above by the New York Times alone, the real attention seems to be on the fact that China is in fact hacking us. Well, I am sorry but I have news for you all, they have been hacking us for a long time now and doing very well at it. The primary reason for their being so able to steal us blind though is not as the media and the government and the Mandiant or Crowdstrike's of the world would like you think. The APT (Advanced Persistent Threat) it seems, does not have to be advanced. They just need to be persistent and might I add patient.
So when you read the headlines and the stories like those in the Times about the advanced malware called "Sakula" and how the tricksy Chinese have gotten administrator on OPM systems I cannot blame the uninitiated thinking that this is hard and that the Chinese actors are the equivalent of super villains hacking from beneath islands with skull faced volcano's on them. After all, the media is teaching the people not in the know by these lede's that computer security is unfathomable and hard. You know, like the comment by Archuleta in the Congressional hearing that "Security takes decades" No ma'am it doesn't and as the congressman who yelled at you that day said, we don't have decades. In fact, I would say that this game of Go is almost done and we aren't winning. We have lost and the reasons we have lost are manifold but I would say that the root of it all is that we, America, have abdicated the notion of securing the things that we should have long ago. The excuses are many; because it would be costly, or hard, or perhaps more so due to government stagnation, self interest, and indolence.
I know that the majority of the readers of my blog are in the security community but I wanted this post to reach across the void to the everyman on this matter. I exhort you to read the stories in the news and to take a step back. Consider the following statements and really understand where we are today.
- The OIG not only has been reporting on the OPM's security issues but all of the governments. Go read the reports online for other orgs. You just have to Google for them and you will see over the years the same issues surfacing.
- OPM was told many times and with every report only minor changes were made. Money was not spent, people were not brought in, and all over networks that hold sensitive data.
- OPM was not practising security at a level commensurate with policies and procedures that were standard 20 years ago.
- OPM is part of a larger network of systems intergovernmentally. DOI (Dept of Interior) is one that I have had personal experince with. Insecurities abound.
- Since the hearings the President has made comment that he believes in Archuleta and she is keeping her job, though she has failed to make changers per OIG that have been pending for years.
- The argument that an adversary is advanced falls apart when the target is not following even the base security protocols that stop a user from using "password" as a password lord knows what else they weren't doing.
Brass tacks, we deserved to be hacked.
Sad but true.
So gentle reader, consider what I have told you here. The government is not protecting OUR data commensurate with the security requirements we would demand of a company that holds it like say Target. It's time to hold the government to the standards that they would like to enforce on companies. Let's not listen to the marketing leaks by Mandiant and Crowdstrike about the actors and who they may be. What matters is that the data was taken and the reason it was taken was because of poor security and bad management on the part of the federal government. You know, those guys rattling the cyber war sabre lately.
Physician heal thyself.
Fear and Loathing On The Internet: A Savage Journey to the Heart of the Cyber Trenches

O'Five Hundred
It was 5am and the coffee had just started to brew when I saw the tweets that the DPRK was back online. Immediately my bloodshot eyes closed in salutation because the game was on. I booted up the laptop and got the old terminal up and typed the old familiar line $ nmap -Pn 18.104.22.168/24. I hit enter and began the worship of caffeine as is my custom at this ungodly hour that I find myself in my old age waking up to more often.
Once the coffee had been poured I came back to my comfortable seat to find that one IP address in the subnet (/24) had come up with all kinds of ports open! "Ooooh, this will be interesting" I thought as I began to play with the ports in my browser and other tools. Little did I know then what I would know now about life in the 21st century cyber war!
No sooner had I begun to poke at the ports I began to sense dark forces moving against me. I decided to forge ahead though and hit the second sub that DPRK has. The Nmap began unleashing it's port scanning hell upon the enemy and I went back to the SMTP server that I had located. It began to offer up it's dirty flower to me as I poked and prodded. It seemed that because the DPRK had been down since the night or so before they were still recovering, their firewall still trying to come back from the oblivion that had been wrought upon it by… Whoever.
O'Five Thirty
As I started to get bored with the one address that was available I decided to turn on the old iPad and listen to a flick while playing. I had not been watching long when all of a sudden WHAM! I could feel the palpable blow from my.. Nay, OUR enemy! The DPRK had hit back! My iPad stopped mid sentence and began to just become completely verklempt. I checked the wireless sig and it was fine… What in holy hell was happening! A creeping feeling of dread began to creep up my coccyx with a cyber chill! "Could it be that the infernal Kim Jong Un has hit me?" I thought to myself. "Nah, just a wireless issue" I mused but I decided to check. I brought up my browser and hit the router address… Nada.
"Uh oh"
I flew to my office and booted up another wired box and frantically hit the router again… 500 error…
I sat and pondered it all.. I had just become a casualty of the great cyber war of 2014! My router was offline, my shit was smoking and I knew that that creeping feeling of cold dread from my coccyx was in fact the cruel reality… I had been DDoS'd!!
O'Five Thirty Five and Three Seconds
I rebooted the everything and began to work the systems. I had my cyber helmet on now and I was prepared to fire a new salvo at the dreadnaught that was DPRK! The router cycled, the IPS… The Wireless… I frantically typed in the address for the IPS and began looking at logs. I scanned as the caffeine began to really sing in my veins to see the following addresses had hit me like a metric shit ton of SYN!
It was all there in black and white. The wiley Kim Jong Un and his frightening UNIT 121 had hit me with the dreaded SYN FLOOD! But wait, what? Those addresses aren't DPRK! They are all in CHINA!
*cold sweat begins to trickle down my back with the realization that I had begun a new international incident!*
"CHINA! CHINA!" I yelled at the screen. I tried to calm myself and remember my cyber attribution training! "The IP's are in China! I am being attacked by China! It's incontrovertible! It's China attacking me as a proxy for DPRK! MY GOD!" This is when the klaxons began going off.
I was hit again wave after wave from China. There was no way around it. I had to declare cyber war on DPRK because China attacked me after I used a network tool on DPRK addresses!
The packets flew and the Chinese hit me with everything they could. I could hear KJU screeching in the background yelling orders of more salvo's against the capitalist cyber swine that was me!
My cyber helmet developed a crack and there was only one thing left to do… I blocked them on my firewall. The war ended then… At approximately 0540 hours the great "Cyber War" of 2014 ended. I looked around to see posters torn from walls.
The. Horror!
Now I am a veteran of the cyber wars… I still have not gotten my purple heart. Listen well you young men and women. Heed the tale of this cyber warrior and his time in the cyber trenches. Cyber war is cyber hell.
Digital Jihad: The Great Irhabi Cyber War That Won't Be.
Islamic State militants are planning the creation of a 'cyber caliphate' protected by their own encryption software – from behind which they will launch massive hacking attacks on the U.S. and the West.
Both Islamic State and Al Qaeda claim to be actively recruiting skilled hackers in a bid to create a team of jihadist computer experts capable of causing devastating cyber disruptions to Western institutions.
They are now boasting it is only a matter of time before their plan becomes a reality.
The Great Cyber Jihad
Since Junaid Hussain escaped over the border to the new lands of jihad (aka Syria) he has been vocal on Twitter showing off his great cyber manhood in classic irhabi bloviating online. That Junaid made some inroads by hacking into the prime minister's email address at Gmail only lends him dubious credit to his hacking skills to a person involved in the security field. This however is not how the great unwashed within the media and certain quarters of the government and the military seem to perceive the threat posed by Junaid today now that he is an ISIL irhabi.
Islamic State militants are planning the creation of a 'cyber caliphate' protected by their own encryption software – from behind which they will launch massive hacking attacks on the U.S. and the West.
Both Islamic State and Al Qaeda claim to be actively recruiting skilled hackers in a bid to create a team of jihadist computer experts capable of causing devastating cyber disruptions to Western institutions.
They are now boasting it is only a matter of time before their plan becomes a reality.
The above text came from just one of the spate of recent reports on the great "Cyber Jihad" that is being touted to come from the likes of Junaid and ISIS/L as they attempt to expand their reach from the Middle East globally. This ls.particular commentary makes the bile rise within my gut on so many levels though. But that kind of pales in comparison to the one right below…
"We're in a pre-9/11 moment with cyber," John Carlin, assistant attorney in charge of the Justice Department's National Security Division, warned at a July conference in Aspen. "It's clear that the terrorists want to use cyber-enabled means to cause the maximum amount of destruction as they can to our infrastructure."
PRE-9/11 OMG!!! Look you fuckwit if that were the case then China would have already put us out of our misery really. For that matter some half assed pot sodden kid who happened to hack into our grid would have taken us down years ago. There is just no need for this posturing and certainly above all coming from someone without a clue in their head about how things really work in the world of computer security. This kind of scare tactic aimed at getting people to respond in fear to allow for the government to do anything in the name of protecting us is vile.
Meanwhile you have other players such as the one below making statements of "ALL OUT CYBER WAR" while commenting on Anonymous' operation against ISIS. I laughed and I laughed and I laughed until I just wanted to cry at the sheer stupidity of it all. Look, Anonymous can't get their shit together enough to be both leaderless and effective so really, how much of an "ALL OUT CYBER WAR" can there be there huh? Do you even know what a cyber war really means? Cyber warfare is both digital and kinetic in it's purest form and what kinetics did Anonymous really carry out in this operation to DoS ISIS offline?
Lemme give you a clue… None.
"Anonymous announced late last week a full scale cyber war against the Islamic State (Operation Ice ISIS), intended to attack ISIS supporters using social media for propaganda purposes"
So aside from the bloviating and the scare tactics coming out of ISIS itself we also have our responses from the government and the media with all their so called experts on cyber war and jihad. There is a lot of wankery going on here but finally this guy makes a little sense in the middle of his post on this mess…
ISIS's main effort to date in cyberspace has focused on psychological warfare by generating fear through flooding the internet with video clips portraying the brutal acts of beheading and mass executions, as well as victory parades, as part of developing deterrence and creating an illusion of force in excess of the organization's actual strength. The essence of its online activity, however, is broader. It enables its supporters to obtain operational information, including training in preparing explosives and car bombs, and religious rulings legitimizing massacres in regions under ISIS control. In tandem, it distributes indoctrination materials, such as a maagzine called Dabiq: The Return of Khilafah, which focuses mainly on topics relating to formation of the new Islamic state headed by ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. However, ISIS's technological expertise is not the only factor. Perhaps the public, which is revolted by the organization's deeds but closely follows these clips and photos as a kind of reality show, is contributing a great deal to the organization's popularity.
Yes, there it is.. ISIS has been carrying out a PROPAGANDA war primarily and with that comes from PSYOPS as well. This is the first true set of statements I have seen to date over this whole debacle. Ok, they are waging a propaganda war and a recruitment drive for sure but really, a cyber caliphate? I mean to date I have not seen this show up verbatim anywhere on the boards or on twitter so who's leaping logic here? Seems to me that there's a sucker born every minute and about 99% of them want to go into journalism nowadays.
A propaganda war using Twitter does not a cyber war make.
Cyber Warfare and Jihad
So let's chat about the realities here about the capabilities of the Irhabi (ISIS/L or AQ or SEA) in a context of what we have seen so far. What have we seen you ask? Well, DoS, some data thievery, some malware use and phishing, but generally nothing spectacularly scary. Certainly nothing on the level of a nation state actor like China has been seen out of any of the loose groups that claim some jihadi notions online to date. So where do we get all this BOOGA BOOGA over the likes of Junaid Hussain and ISIS taking down our grids and things?
Yeah, there's no there there. I am sorry but even if ISIS/L used it's monies that it has stolen over the last months to set up a "cyber team" they still would be LIGHT YEARS behind the likes of China.. Hell they would even be way behind Iran for that matter so really, there is nothing to fear here. Never mind that many of these guys like Junaid are working in countries that are actively being bombed and shooting is happening so really, how much longer does Juny have anyway before he gets a Hellfile missile up his ass?
Truly the cyber jihad is a non starter for me and it should be for you too. On the other end of that equation though is the fact that they are actively recruiting and getting their message out using social media and this is a problem. Now don't get me wrong, it is not a clear and present danger kind of thing because really, 100 Americans out of how many people seeing their online drivel have actually left the country to go to jihad pretty much gives a sense of the threat. You have to be pretty unbalanced to want to do this shit to start with so if you get up and leave the country to join up you are a truly unbalanced person to start. One so easily swayed by the propaganda wing of ISIS needs help and what they will certainly get is a bullet instead while fighting. Even ISISL really doesn't care about the Takfiri, you see kids, they are just bodies to be used… Nothing more. They may call you brother but under their breath they call you fodder.
Much Ado About Nothing
The reality is that ISIS is more a conventional force than anything else. They are not as well planned as AQ and they tend to be one dimensional thinkers. I will admit that their propaganda war has been interesting to watch but I don't see that it is an existential threat. In fact, I concur with the assessment that AQ is still the real player here who can strike at the US and had a better track record thus far. Surely if ISIS continues to carry out the propaganda war they may garner more recruits but I just don't see them being that inspirational to get lone wolves to activate/radicalize. I certainly don't see them being able to put teams together to hack our infrastructure and take us down either. In fact I am not a proponent of that line of thinking anyway as a great threat. Our systems are too complex and fragmented to allow for such a spectacular attack.
So please news media… STFU.
ASSESSMENT: The Islamic Cyber Resistance: Wikileaks.ir Bin Laden Group and Mossad Dumps
Dmvtz MCB!
The Islamic Cyber Resistance:
It seems that there is a new player in the cyber town and they call themselves the Islamic Cyber Resistance ( هيئة دعم المقاومة الاسلامية في لبنان ) They are loosely affiliated with Anonymous and it also seems perhaps the Syrian Electronic Army due to a combined hack effort recently. In the case of the Wikileaks.ir dump however they seem to be working on their own and doing so because of the loss of Hassan Lakkis a Hezbollah commander who was killed near his home recently. The ICR dump was to "honor" him and to perhaps get people energized to do more even using "rememberhassan" as the password to the rar files uploaded to the net. I do wonder though at just how newly minted the ICR is because they have no Facebook site, no website that can be found as yet and little mention until recently. The are affiliated with Hezbollah notionally and seem to have ties to moqwama.org, the Hezbollah resource site which collects support for the Hezbollah organization. Ostensibly this hack attack against the Mossad and other entities and this dump were revenge for what is perceived as Israel's killing of Hassan but the realities of the dump (which I will go into below) are much less vengeance and more an attempt to grab the spotlight in the great cyber jihad.
Hassan Lakkis
OPIsrael with Anonymous
moqwama.org front page
WHOIS of moqwama.org
Meanwhile there's a new Wikileaks in town and that is the Wikileaks.ir domain and site that these dumps were announced and posted on. It seems that the Wikileaks.ir domain has been around for a few years now and stared off as a WordPress site that wanted to be affiliated from the get go. However, it seems that the site was not an official one nor is it today according to what I have found looking around the internet. The domain is currently owned by someone calling themselves Ehsan Goorabi, who according to searches has been a graphic designer/web designer/printer owning his own business called "Lemon Graphics" in Lebanon. It turns out that Eshan is also in fact now a CEH so this kind of ties a nice little cyber bow on him as perhaps being a part of if not the main player in the ICR. The wikileaks.ir site is now getting play within the media and I am sure is getting plenty of traffic. However, after looking at all the dumps on there I just don't see anything really spectacular in the way of secret information. In fact what can be found is the usual rhetoric and talk but no real shock and awe.
Ehsan Goorabi CEH
Ehsan Goorabi Printer
Wikileaks.ir FOR SALE!
The Dump:
The data dump in memory of Hassan too was pretty much a re-hash of data already out there in other dumps. The alleged hacking of Mossad data (personnel data seen already out there) and the alleged hack of the Bin Laden Group (BLG) Now the ICR and the WL site claims that there is some real bombshell information here but in reality it's all just common data from the company that was hacked. PDF files and emails on daily business things that after looking at are nothing at all to be interested in even if there are claims of shoddy workmanship and perhaps some fraud. If you listened to the ICR they would have you believe it shows complicity with the government and other terrible things. Honestly though what would this data really mean to anyone within AQ, who nominally are mentioned in the dumps other than a sleight against the Bin Laden family who begat OBL in the first place? I guess time will tell if the dumps get better with this crew but to date they certainly aren't stellar and more than certainly not worthy of all the press attention that this has garnered them.
Cyber Jihad:
So, the cyber jihad is on evidently. Well perhaps not a jihad, but at least a resistance as the moniker places them. It would seem that the ICR and SEA, who are already working together, along with the Wikileaks.ir site may be something to keep an eye on if they get their acts together. SEA has been very active with low end hacks that grab headlines but really don't create any substantive change. In aligning with the Wikileaks ethos though perhaps they will seek to out corruption within their area of influence. Maybe they will just keep flailing along in hopes of garnering the attention they seek, we shall see in the near future I imagine. I do wonder though at the alleged connections with IRGC though. To date these seem to be just pipe dreams of the media though. I cannot see my way to seeing any kind of IRGC support here because these people lack OPSEC as well as skill it seems from what they have laid out so far. In fact I think SEA, as lame as their attacks have been in real impact, are much more technically capable than the ICR today.
It will be interesting to keep an eye on these guys and see what they come up with next….
DPR: Not so dread inspiring but surely now full of dread….
No one would surrender to the Dread Pirate Ulbricht.
Well the news cycle exploded this week with the arrest of Ross Ulbricht aka DPR or if you like The Dread Pirate Roberts of Princess Bride and now Silk Road fame. The schadenfreude here had been epic as the criminal empire that was one of the largest in the darknet was taken down because the "pirate" could not comprehend how to carry out OPSEC properly. What lead to this guy's demise was some good old fashioned internet gumshoe work by an SA who also worked on the Sabu case back last year. Ross it seems decided to use his personal Gmail address for postings pimping Silk Road as well as other assets that tied it all together digitally back to him. Not the best of OPSEC here Ross.
I challenge you to a battle of wits.
Anyway Ross had an idea and that idea was pretty interesting in that he wanted to use the darknet to have a Libertarian nirvana of commerce for just about anything. He set up his site, maintained it himself for a time, and then began to realize that he could not do it alone and this is where things start to go wrong. You see, when you run something yourself you only have yourself to deal with. When you start bringing in people to work for you and they know things about you (and you will always slip up here and give things away unless you are a trained spook) and that makes them a liability to your Operational Security. Ross learned this the hard way I suppose in that he started to feel that people needed to be whacked because they knew too much.
Meanwhile the OPSEC failures that Ross had made were steadily creeping up on him. So too were the UC's on Silk Road who worked their way into the boards making deals and gaining his trust. In the end Ross decided that one of the UC's was actually a cool Huggy Bear kind of guy and asked him to whack one of his administrators who he felt was a threat… OOOPS! If it's one thing a Dread Pirate should know is to "Trust No One" but Ross I guess did not read that lesson in his Econ Theory classes. I guess it's just another pointer I would make to all of you would be Pirates or Ninja's out there … You can't trust anyone. Oh, and yeah unless you are trained for this at say Langley or maybe Академия федеральной службы безопасности Российской Федерации you are more than likely to fuck up majorly and end up in the clink with Ross and many others. I have to say though that the idea of using the darknet and all the means that Ross had put together was a pretty good plan. The only real hitch was that he never took into account that he was going to be going up against a nation state(s) and they always win.
Hey, at least he didn't fall for that land war in Asia thing right? …..
Look, are you just fiddling around with me or what?
So Ross went on to become the ersatz Walter White of the darknet until one day at his apartment in San Fran his doorbell rang. At the door was ICE/DHS and they had an interesting package for him in their hands. The package was full of ID's with his face on them but not his name and when asked about them according to the complaint/affidavit his answer was "Anyone could get documents like these online at places like Silk Road" which let me tell you Ross, isn't the thing you want to be saying here. After some questions and answers it seems the ICE/DHS folks went away which is confusing to me. First off, I surmize that the ICE Q&A was just a front for the FBI's ongoing investigation into Ross but really, why tip their hand like that? If I were Ross I would have closed the door, waved at the feds through the window, watched them leave and RAN to my system to have a fire sale at Silk Road. I would have chosen a new DPR and been on my way to a non extradition country but ol' Ross?
Ross instead of cutting and running doubled down! He went on to do an interview with Forbes and continued on his way doing the business of being the "Dread Pirate" which let me tell you son, was one of the most ballsy and stupid things I have seen since Barrett Brown on camera threatened federal officers lives. Ross what were you thinking? I mean damn dude, did you really think you were Walter White? Oh well I guess time will tell as interviews are carried out or data dumps come from the feds as we go along slouching toward a plea bargain. Perhaps though your cognitive dissonance between personae online and offline just sort of short circuited you out and you couldn't do anything other than carry on thinking you were covered.
Time will tell… But let this be a lesson to all you would be Pirates out there. You may call yourself a pirate or a ninja or even a Ninja Pirate but you really are just some shmuck with a grandiose sense of the self instilled in you by your helicopter parents who always told you just how fucking special and magnificent you were. So as you sit in federal pound you in the ass prison Ross take heart, for I am sure there will be another DPR someday in the darknets ….Sailing the dark digital waters with the shrieking eels that will some day end up in the cell next to yours where you can commiserate.
What is it Mike? Why do you feel you need to sit and smirk on panels while spinning more and more exotic fantasist tales about the terrible cyber future out there? For that matter why do you feel compelled to joke about putting Ed Snowden on a kill list? I mean, you are retired man! You should be somewhere warm with your wife, sitting on a porch sipping a warm beer and enjoying life. Instead you are making the rounds trying increasingly more boldly to steal Dr. Cyberlove's (Richard Clarke) thunder? What is up with you man? I mean are you trying to sell services or some kind of security appliance to the masses now that you are on that sweet sweet government pension? Or is it that you are now able to be the center of attention and talk after being bottled up so long as a secret squirrel at NSA?
Well in any case you are taking THE PRIZE with this little story you told about "CYBER MASS SHOOTERS!!" WHOA dude you went completely plaid with this one! You have my attention at the very least! Well, that may not be so good though having my attention but I digress. Shall I tell the folks out there what I think about your little story?
*looks conspiratorially at the crowd and ushers them closer with an eyebrow waggle*
BOLLOCKS! It's absolu-fucking-lutely bollocks my friend! Holy what the hell? Dude you are delusional and those panels that people are inviting you to increasingly are going to be comprised of you and Alex Jones having aneurysm fights.
The fastest-growing cyber threat is from a kind of digital mass shooter, a deranged or outraged hacker able to obtain cyberweapons currently available only to nation-states and organized crime, a former senior U.S. intelligence official said Thursday.
"They're just mad, they're mad at the world," said retired Air ForceGen. Michael Hayden. "They may have demands that you or I cannot understand."
Mr. Hayden warned that within five years hackers "will acquire the [cyberattack] capabilities that we now associate with criminal gangs or nation states," such as being able to conduct online sabotage of industrial control systems that run power plants, factories and utilities.
Looks at that statements over and over and over again always having the same vapor lock.. HOLY WTF? Who do you think invented this shit in the first place? The hackers, the criminals, and YOU GUYS Mike! I cannot fathom just how clueless Mike seems here. I mean, he was in charge of the NSA so how could he be so out of touch? Perhaps he has early onset Alzheimers? Did he eat the British beef in the 80's?
*shakes head*
Ok so yeah "cyber mass shooters" I am trying to stifle a giggle every time I say it in my head. I don't think Mike has really thought this one through. Has he seen the hackers out there? Has he got a good grasp of the infrastructure as well that we have? I mean HOLY COW! First off, let's look at the hackers. It would take a cabal to do what he is talking about. The only cabals I know of are the criminal gangs, the nation states, and maybe Anonymous. So yeah, it's all groups Mike, not one sole hacker master mind. I mean really, we aren't all Thomas Jane ya know..
*slips in Die Hard refence #score!*
Next we have the idea that one sole hacker is going to be able to attack the "infrastructure" in a way that will be able to take it down. Uh yeah Mike, I'm sorry but that is just not so easy. I mean, it's not like all the power companies run all the same things and are all connected to the same subnet mmkay? No Mike, it will take nation state patience, money, and access to take down a section of the grid for example and cause mass annoyance. There will not be "mass casualties" as you allude to and what did you say.. "Dislocation"???
Following that stellar statement we have this claptrap about how the hacker can now have "cyber weapons" like those of the nation state. Let me disabuse you of this notion right now Mikey…
The derp on that statement makes me want to just punch some small furry critter in the nuts man. SEE WHAT YOU DO TO ME MIKE!?!? Look, if you have a copy of Metasploit you are now actually, according to you Mike, A MASS CYBER SHOOTER! Your statement is infantile and it is the WORST type of fear mongering I have seen since your predecessor Dr. Cyberlove (aka Richard Clarke)
*hangs head*
Lastly, let's talk about this infinitely stupid comment about how the "mass cyber shooter" may have no "demands" that we can understand.
What? Just how many movies have you been watching since you retired man? I think you have some real misinformation in your head from watching one too many Die Hard movies my friend. Wow.. Just WOW man! I am in awe of your derp on this one and that is a hard thing for me to do. I am almost speechless here …. Well not really.
Finally I think Mike has envisioned a new "Ministry of Fear" for us all to cling to in troubled times. He will be in charge of the ministry and he will make the rounds to all of the appropriate places to spew his stories of "cyber mass shooters" to a ravening lame stream media machine. Your hopes I am sure, are that you and your pals can scare the straights into compliance with the NSA pogroms you and yours have been carrying out and are now in trouble over. As long as you keep the fear levels at the right height, you and your pals can keep on keepin on with the tacit approval from the people.
Mike, you'd be wrong.
The Ministry of fear will fail and as long as you are out there saying these epic derptastic things I will be here countering them on my measly little blog. So, for the news media I will now break this down into small bytes, which I will then puree into a nice baby food consistency for you to slurp down.
- There will be no singular cyber mass shooter it takes too much effort and coherence to pull something off like this.
- If demands are made sure, you may have to look up some terms on Wikipedia or 4chan but hey, you will understand what "we" want so rest assured you will know.
God I need a drink…

Capitol Hill Critics Second-Guess Agencies Using...
Keep the Opportunities, Lose the Opportunists
Researchers Now Have a Myriad of...
Loss of Lives in Clinical Trials...
Sanofi and the Curie Institute are teaming up as part of a three-year preclinical research collaboration to discovery and development of new therapeutic targets for ovarian cancer.
Participating through its Institut Carnot arm, Curie-Cancer is working with Sanofi to "revisit the basic biology of this type of cancer through a translational research approach," the partners said. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Sanofi will provide its expertise in the selection of therapeutic targets. For its part, the Curie Institute offers a large collection of cryopreserved tumor samples, which are characterized clinically, histologically, and biologically. Together, the organizations hope to better understand the molecular alterations behind ovarian cancers, and design drugs to better target those.
"We hope this type of long-term collaboration will ultimately open up perspectives for new therapeutic options for women with this disease. It will combine the accumulated knowledge on ovarian cancer gathered over many years by oncologists and biologists at the Institut Curie with the expertise of researchers from Sanofi's research and product development teams," Debasish Roychowdhury, M.D., svp and head, Sanofi Oncology, said in a statement. "Established under the Aviesan1 partnership, this research agreement is a good example of translational research involving French scientific excellence."
Added Curie-Cancer Director Damien Salauze: "To potentially provide our patients with additional therapeutic solutions, we are very happy to collaborate with Sanofi, whose expertise in the selection of therapeutic targets is complementary to the know-how and technology platforms developed at the Institut Curie."

Skip to comments.Bio: Mary Jo Kopechne
Posted on 08/29/2009 3:09:07 PM PDT by ETL
Birth: Jul. 26, 1940
Death: Jul. 19, 1969
Teacher and Administrator, she is most remembered for her controversial death in an automobile accident with Senator Edward Kennedy; the resulting political scandal caused Kennedy to reverse his decision to run for the US Presidency. Born in Forty Fort, Pennsylvania, she was the only child of insurance salesman Joseph and Gwen Kopechne. After graduating from Caldwell College, New Jersey, she taught at Montgomery Catholic High School in Montgomery, Alabama, and then moved to Washington DC to work as a secretary for Florida Senator George Smathers. Shortly afterwards, she went to work as a secretary for New York Senator Robert F. Kennedy following his election in 1964. After Senator Robert F. Kennedy's death in 1968, she moved to Matt Reese Associates, a Washington DC firm that helped politicians establish campaign headquarters, and it was there she met Senator Edward Kennedy, Robert Kennedy's younger brother.
On the evening of July 18, 1969, she attended a party on Chappaquiddick Island, near Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, in honor of the "Boiler Room Girls," a name given to the six young women who had helped the late Senator Robert F. Kennedy during his presidential campaign, and who had closed up his files after his assassination in June 1968. All six of the women were single, and the six men in attendance were all married but present without their wives, and the attendees gathered for a late night party at the Lawrence Cottage, rented by Joe Gargan for the occasion.
Late that evening (the exact time is in dispute), Kennedy offered to drive Kopechne back to her hotel at the Katama Shores Motor Inn in Edgartown, and later claimed that he mistakenly took a wrong, right turn onto Dyke Road, a dirt road leading to a beach about a mile down the road, instead of turning left onto the paved Chappaquiddick Road leading to the ferryboat which they would need to use to go to Kopechne's motel.
A half-mile down Dyke Road, Kennedy drove off the side of the Dyke Bridge, and the car overturned into Poucha Pond. Kennedy got out of the overturned car, but Kopechne failed to exit the car and died. Kopechne's body was recovered later that morning; the diver reporting that Kopechne had positioned herself near the back seat wheel well where an air pocket had formed, and had apparently suffocated rather than drowned. Her parents ruled out an autopsy, so the cause of death was never officially determined.
Senator Kennedy later pleaded guilty to leaving the scene of an accident after causing injury, for which he received a two-month suspended sentence and one year probation. Kopechne's death and Kennedy's failure to properly deal with the accident, along with numerous discrepancies in his account of what happened, damaged his reputation and is regarded by many as the major reason that he decided to cancel his run for the presidency in 1972 and subsequent years.
Kopechne's funeral was held on July 22, 1969, at St. Vincent's Roman Catholic Church in Plymouth, Pennsylvania, and she was buried in the parish cemetery there.

The new family tombstone, erected after the death of Mary Jo's mother in December, 2007.

"Edward Klein, speaking to WAMU guest host Katty Kay, said one of Kennedy's 'favorite topics of humor was, indeed, Chappaquiddick.'
"He would ask people, 'Have you heard any new jokes about Chappaquiddick?' said Klein, a former Newsweek foreign editor and former editor in chief of the New York Times Magazine."
YouTube video: Kennedy liked to joke about Chappaquiddick?
"This isn't an accusation from Ted Kennedy's political opponents, but a nostalgic remembrance by one of his friends. Ed Klein, former Newsweek editor, tells the Diane Rehm Show:
"I dont know if you know this or not, but one of his favorite topics of humor was indeed Chappaquiddick itself. And he would ask people, have you heard any new jokes about Chappaquiddick? That is just the most amazing thing. Its not that he didnt feel remorse about the death of Mary Jo Kopechne, but that he still always saw the other side of everything and the ridiculous side of things, too."
I mentioned Mary Jo to my 27 and 30 year old sons. They were completely clueless. Never knew about what Kennedy did. I just assumed they did...I was shocked.
Most likely at the gates of the other place.
What does that even mean?
Interesting that she worked for Senator Smathers who was very conservative then for Robert Kennedy who was really liberal.

Mr. and Mrs. Kopechne:
Click here to go to The Official Fatboy Ted Website, a large compendium of information about the incident at Chappaquiddick.
Thanks for the pics and link to a much more detailed account of the incident.
Smathers was VERY close with JFK and the Kennedy's.
You are the linkmeister extraordinaire....
The joke was, there was a bridge into heaven and a '68 Oldsmobile pulled up to take him across...ooops
And I've always seen the ridiculous side of Edward Kennedy!
I don't wish to be unjust to pigs, but Ted Kennedy was a swine. Mary Jo could have lived if that sociopath had just knocked on a few doors. Dizgusting.
Nope. He didn't get anywhere near those pearly gates.
Maybe at the gates of hell though.
Someone said on the Howie Carr show that someone erected a "Remember Mary Jo" banner recently but it got taken down...?
(...in Rhode Island...)
I had forgotten about that but you are right. Interestingly JFK would probably be considered fairly conservative today.
Rumor is that JFK was going to dump Johnson for Smathers. Not sure if it would have happened but Johnson feared Smathers.
For the record, I didn't post this in Breaking News. Someone else apparently moved it there afterward.
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faithand this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God not by works, so that no one can boast.
Ephesians 2:8
How is that "I went to Mass a lot" thingy going for you Senator?
As Ted has found out, Hell doesn't have gates,
just a slippery slope...
No autopsy - is there any truth to the rumor she was pregnant, or was that the Marilyn Monroe rumor? So many women, so little time when one is a Kennedy...
There was another?
That Kennedy got away with Mary Jo's Murder is Horrible and Unforgivable!
Rot in Hell Teddy. It's where you belong.
Just turned on Fox News. This deification of Teddy Kennedy on tv is reaching absurd levels. A disgusting display glorifying a truly despicable creature.
Lol! Thanks. I remember that. He probably had a few too many that day as well.
Did you link to the correct youtube video?

Johnson was a jack%$!!!!!!!!!! I hope in hell he is in an outhouse and it gets bombed over and over and Ted Kennedy get driven over that bridge by Mary Joe!!!!
"I wonder if he made a joke about her at the Pearly Gates?"
Doubt he ever saw those gates ;0
Kennedy's statement that he made a "wrong turn" onto Dyke Bridge road was probably the most unbelievable part of his story.
I have seen pictures of that tiny dirt road which turns off a highway. No one would ever have accidentally turned onto that road, especially someone like Kennedy who was totlly familiar with the area.
whoa, the diver interviewed on the audio link was audited three times in the year after he went public with what he knew about this.
Except that Kennedy did run in 1980 and thought about running again afterwards (see the KGB memo in 1983).
I'll never forget the lead up to Ted entering the race. All summer of 1980, the media ran polls showing Kennedy more popular than President Carter and literally insisted that he run. They were orgasmic when Kennedy decided to run.
Then Kennedy did an interview with Roger Mudd on "60 Minutes" where Mudd asked simply "Why do you want to be president?" It was a typical liberal softball question but Teddy fumbled his way through it so badly that the American public must have had a collective gasp. Heck, even "that Reagan" *knew* why he wanted to be president!
Then various media started re-examining Chappaquiddick and the more they tried to cover it (or spin it), the worse it looked for Teddy's campaign. Carter might be incompetant but at least he wasn't a murderer.
I think the party apparatus decided it would be fatal to try to replace a sitting president of their own party and rallied back around Carter who then lost to Reagan.
Yes, I think Chappaquiddick played a role but I also think Teddy was simply too liberal for even his own party to stomach outside the Northeast and the West Coast. Remember, not only was he never president, he was also never the party's nominee for president.
Kennedy, a man of wealth and taste......

I'm not a coder but i believe this has to do with the fact that javascript files have to be reloaded. So my question is: How can i reload the map after an ajax page switch?

Where is the San Jose State- Louisiana Tech game?
Say it out loud to yourself – San Jose State-Louisiana Tech! Did you get the answer to your question? Even though it was a great game do your really think the 4 letter network would offer this game?
Interesting that ESPN will re-air the "SEC on CBS" games but not the "Notre Dame on NBC" (Stanford and Pitt were both at ND), or Big 12/PAC-12 games from FOX. Must be something from the SEC/CBS/ESPN contract that makes this easier than the others.
Even so, good list of games. It's always fun to go back through and watch/re-watch some of these instant classics.
None of the Notre Dame games will be aired because they are STILL not relevant and have provided the proof of being irrelevant by taking the hard one in the BCS game!
Ask yourself why was Notre Dame there? Wasn't the game against Goergia the real Natl Champ game?
wow, NICE
So irrelevant, clowns like you can't wait to talk about them.
Haters love to hate Notre Dame. Suck it. The Irish roll always be relevant. Atlanta Mafia huh, yeah Georgia Tech dominates.
Thank you ESPN, now I can watch BYU lose again to Utah on a billion missed field goals and watch Utah rush the field 18 times…….. uggh. Never want to see that game again. Stinks to make the top 25 games as the losing team.
What are you talking about? The more they show of that low IQ fan base rushing the field, the better!! That was one of the top 5 most embarrassing sports blunders of the year.
How are they gona leave out baylor vs. wvy? i mean i know their was absolutely no defense at all but you sometimes gota like a high scoring game and you gotta think it's pretty amazing for a qb in a game against a team from the bcs to throw for 8 tds, 656 yds and no ints. and bailey had 303 yds for 5tds, austin had 215 yds for 2 tds and woods had 114 yds for 1 td. and you gotta also think that's quite impressive for a conference opener. REcords were also broken this game.
who is wvy?
I know you mean West Virginia
It's kind of weird how they wrote the article because certain games aren't listed in the table. But if you look above the table, you'll see that the West Virginia at Baylor game is listed at #11.
BSPN: The worldwide leader in BS.
I'm surprised the Mizzou/Tennessee game wasn't in the top 25. That game went into a few OT's if I'm correct?
I hate to say it but Utah just overpowered us and it's great to see us loss three times in one game to our better, bigger Brother. Thank you Utah for even scheduling us, we need it bad!
Your poor grammar and punctuation reveals that you are definitely not a graduate of BYU.
I can't watch the SEC championship again. I'm still heartbroken.
Best game of the year was Texas Tech-TCU by far, double or triple overtime as I recall. Don't understand why that was not chosen
Only airing one Big 12 game and not the other three? That's pretty terrible. Why have a top 25 if that's not what you are going to show?
No Tech vs TCU triple OT with trick plays and 3 of Espns top plays of 2012!?!!
Six of Alabamas starting players couldnt even pass classes at Notre Dame due to a little thing called academics. Thats why Notre Dame was there this is what happens when the players actually have to try and graduate.
How about Oregon @ USC. That was a great game.

Concept and Technology of New AES/EBU DIO Chips Based on AES3-199X: For Professional Digital Audio Applications
Today, the AES/EBU digital audio interface is used in a variety of professional audio and broadcast environments. However, the compatibility and reliability of this interface is not always satisfactory. Therefore it becomes very important to implement AES3 standard properly. The revised version of the AES3-1985 standard is available as AES3-199X draft standard. It is important for professional audio and broadcast systems to comply with this new standard. From this point of view, we developed new interface chips of AES/EBU DIO based on AES3-199X. This paper describes the concept, new technology of the chips, and some suggested applications.

Ive upgraded to 2.1, however my footer on the admin section and the generator on the html page both say 2.0.3?

Or is this a simple bug i can fix?
Thanks in advance
Have you uploaded the files, over the existing ones in the FTP directory?
If so, try deleting all the files, except for of course the wp-config.php, wp-config-sample.php and wp-content/ directory.
(Also, don't remove any special plugin files you have uploaded in the "root" and other folders.)
And then, upload the 2.1 files again, like you'd normally do for upgrading.. (Wheew! Almost forgot to add this lol!)
That's what I do when upgrading from version to version, I'll do the normal upgrade process, just..instead of uploading *over* existing files.. I'll delete the original ones and upload new.. then run the domain.com/wp-admin/upgrade.php script..
I hope this helps. =)
*Or, if you have "cache" on, try deleting the stuff in the cache folder, and or do a hard flush of the browsers Cache, CTRL + F5. Some times that's the culprit too. =P
Also to add to this, if you have *any* plugins, and find they work.. please let me know on my 2.1 alpha2 blog. =) "We", the testers are trying to compile a list of working plugins for 2.1 then..
I already updated the Get Recent Comments plugin myself the one night.. and there now is the "current" working ones I have on the blog for here:
P.S. Don't ya like the default 1.6 theme now, out of the box lol! She looks nice in all browsers now lol!
Hi spencerp,
I will give that a go, and see how i get on
Hi i have tried this and is still the same... strange?
Any other ideas anyone?
Hmm, not sure if you caught this last part of my first reply or not.. but, if you have "cache" on, try deleting the stuff in the cache folder, and or do a hard flush of the browsers Cache, CTRL + F5. Some times that's the culprit too. =P
Could "we" have the URL to the blog in question please? I know I can't view nothing from the backend of course, but just want to see something from the end of it. =P
Er.... 2.1 must be a checkout from SVN? The latest stable is 2.0.3
If you're using the betas, there's not much support here - you need to use the testers list.
I'll have to agree with vkaryl on that one, if the two "suggestions" I gave ya don't work, there isn't much more that the "support" here, can do for you really..
Here again is the "wp-testers list" to join, and then send through the "issues" or support requests, on the list. ;)
As much as I'd love to get help on these forums for 2.1, there just isn't anything "we" can do about it lol. =P It's still in "alpha" stage even, with over 200 active tickets..that need tending too. =( Bug heaven really sigh.. =(
Heh - yah, while I'm fine with using alphas myself, I don't even want to THINK about supporting same.
Heh - yah, while I'm fine with using alphas myself, I don't even want to THINK about supporting same.
Haha, yeah..I can agree with you on that one vkaryl. =) Just try and picture, well maybe not..but..20 support threads about why it's spitting out 5 errors in the control panel, when editing comments and or deleting articles..
Only, to have those problems fixed, by the Devs 2 minutes later, after the support requests were posted here. Hahaha.. I'm still wondering why in the heck would anyone want to use the 2.1 alpha2 on their "main" blog..that's full blown publically accessed though.
I'd admit I'm running the 2.0.4-alpha..but, not 2.1 alpha2 on my main domain. ;) Just two 2.1 alpha copies back, on the localhost, gave me tons of problems, I couldn't do crap in the backend, because after logging in to the control panel.. I couldn't do nothing, because my admin rights were gone just that quick. Even that took them almost 2 or 3 days...to have that problem fixed..
I'm actually scared to think that those people are braving it, and running it on their own "live public" blogs. What if that happened to them later down the road.. ? Eeek! I don't want to think about it.. =p
Come to think of it now, I just upgraded my vindictivebastard.net/kubrickfixed blog to 2.0.4-alpha.. and I'm not able to delete posts, directly from Manage=> Posts.. I have to edit the post, and then hit the delete button that way.. =(
Alphas should NOT be discussed in the forum. Ever.
They have never been supported in the regular forums.
Stop posting about it. Period.
This is a basic rule from the beginning. Alpha versions, nightlies - are for those that know what they are doing.
If you need support - you should NOT use them.
Please, no more posts here!

Dutch Parliament Debates Afghanistan
AMSTERDAM—An election promise to pull Dutch troops out of Afghanistan by the end of 2010 threatens to topple the Netherlands' coalition government and undermine the U.S. mission as the Pentagon steps up operations against the Taliban.
Deputy Prime Minister Wouter Bos, leader of the left-leaning Labor Party, campaigned in 2007 on a pledge to bring home Dutch forces and on Thursday he reaffirmed that promise, putting him at odds with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, and with the prime and foreign ministers of his own three-party ruling coalition. A Dutch withdrawal would be a blow to the Obama administration which has worked hard to persuade European nations to maintain—and ideally expand—their troop commitments to Afghanistan.
Dutch Prime Minister Jan–Peter Balkenende and Foreign Minister Maxime Verhagen, whose Christian Democrat Party is to the right of Mr. Bos, have staked their political future on a position that the troops must stay, even if in a reduced role.
Since the start of Dutch operations there in 2006, 21 of their soldiers have died, watering down public support for the mission. Recent opinion polls, as well as the Dutch Parliament, favor withdrawal.
NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen sent the Dutch government a formal letter on Feb. 10 asking that Dutch troops be assigned to a mission to train security forces in an area called Uruzghan, in central Afghanistan, until August 2011. Mr. Rasmussen's request was meant as a peace offering to mollify Dutch public opinion, say NATO officials. He sent letters to most of the NATO coalition's 43 partners, they say. At the alliance's headquarters in Brussels, the Dutch force of roughly 1,550 is regarded as a small, yet key, asset.
"They've always been seen as there fighting with the warrior troops, the British, the Canadians, the Americans, the Australians," says Brooks Tigner, who covers NATO for Jane's Defence Weekly. "Even though it's a small country, it's an important one."
Senior American officials had once talked of NATO adding as many as 10,000 new troops to the 30,000 U.S. forces that are currently surging into Afghanistan, largely drawn from major alliance powers like Germany and France. But both countries have largely rebuffed the U.S. requests, with France sending just 80 new troops and Germany committing to sending 500 reinforcements while reiterating its plans to begin withdrawing its forces next year.
NATO officials stressed caution, as no decision as been taken yet. Officials at the U.S. mission to NATO didn't return telephone calls seeking comment.
The loss of the 2,000 Dutch troops would further exacerbate the military gulf between NATO and the U.S., which is assuming an ever-larger share of the combat burden in Afghanistan.
U.S. commanders speak highly of the Dutch performance in the southern Afghan province of Uruzgan, where Dutch forces have focused on political and economic development rather than solely hunting Taliban fighters, an approach in line with the new American counterinsurgency strategy for the country. But the Dutch have steadfastly refused to send troops to more volatile regions of Afghanistan or to allow their troops to take part in combat missions, which could mute the tactical impact of a Dutch departure from Afghanistan.
Meanwhile, the Netherlands could soon lose its government. There are local elections on March 3 and Mr. Bos is anxious to make a splash, say analysts. His party trails in the polls.
If Mr. Balkenende can't persuade Mr. Bos to a compromise solution by March 1, the Labor Party could leave the coalition, toppling the government. At a Friday cabinet meeting, Mr. Bos will have the option of negotiating a compromise with Mr. Balkenende, postponing a decision, or pulling out of the coalition. He has already indicated what way he would lean. "By the end of this year, the last soldier should have left Uruzghan," Mr. Bos told a party meeting this week. "We're keeping our promise to the Dutch people."
A governmental collapse could have economic consequences for the country, too. Part of the current government's platform is to delay tax hikes or spending cuts until 2011. A new government would mean a new platform, which would suit many Dutch voters upset at a forecasted 2010 budget deficit of 6.1% of gross domestic product.
It would not be the best news for Dutch consumer demand. The economy just started recovering about shrinking in four successive quarters. The government is already in trouble. According to a recent TV poll, 76% of Dutch voters don't trust it.

I can't believe this is happening, there is a new research report just released on BNNY that I am very anxious about. Underground Stock Alerts (google them) just released this today! This research group has a huge influence on the market, I've seen them move stocks 500 - 1500% in ONE DAY and also influence the market down as well. You guys get the report? Curious to hear your thoughts, not sure if I should sell or hold.
Walmart (and target for that matter) already carry Annie's products. Thats where I buy them from. (Baltimore, md)
No matter how I slice it I don't see how the company can achieve the growth required to support the current valuation. The company has solid products and a great brand but paying 4.75x revenue is nuts. They are selling in multiple parts of the grocery store, but each product line is still small enough that I question whether the brand means anything to the average consumer across different product sets. Part of their growth story is that they are trying to push into the frozen aisle with their pizza but have not been able to gain significant ACV within mainstream grocery. There are lots of great tasting organic and conventional frozen pizza brands fighting tooth and nail for the same limited freezer space. How they will be able to grow in this set without paying significant slotting fees is a mystery to me. Given the run up in the price since the beginning of the year what am I missing?
