JPMorgan to Pay California $50 Million for Credit-Card Abuseby
Bank resolves California attorney general's claims in lawsuit
AG Harris says Chase is changing debt-collection practices
JPMorgan Chase & Co. agreed to pay California $50 million to settled claims the bank cheated tens of thousands of credit-card customers while collecting debts from them, California Attorney General Kamala Harris said.
Monday's accord follows an announcement in July that JPMorgan would change its practices and pay $166 million to resolve claims and penalties by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and 47 states after regulators found that the bank used abusive tactics to collect debts. The company didn't admit or deny wrongdoing in July.
Harris sued New York-based JPMorgan in May 2013, alleging that its Chase unit engaged in "widespread and illegal robo-signing" and other unlawful practices against credit-card borrowers. Chase, the biggest U.S. bank by assets, used the judicial system as a mill to obtain default judgments, according to the attorney general. The bank lost a bid last year to have the suit dismissed.
"Abusive and illegal debt-collection practices will not be tolerated in California," Harris said in a statement. "This settlement provides real relief to tens of thousands of Californians, including service members, and prevents JPMorgan Chase from continuing these deceptive and illegal debt-collection practices."
The bank on Monday repeated what it said when the July settlement was reached.
'Extensive Steps'
"Chase has taken extensive steps over the past four years and is pleased to resolve these legacy issues," according to its statement. "It is working to complete remediation of affected card customers."
The California attorney general alleged that from 2009 to 2013, Chase filed more than 125,000 credit-card collection lawsuits against consumers relying on illegally robo-signed -- approved without adequate review -- sworn documents and sent letters to consumers that contained illegal threats.
Harris also claimed that Chase sold third-party collectors "zombie debts" that included accounts that were inaccurate, settled, discharged in bankruptcy, not owed, or otherwise not collectible.
Harris said in her statement Monday that the settlement also included $50 million in restitution for consumers nationwide, including $10 million for California customers.
Paul Hartwick, a spokesman for JPMorgan, said the restitution payment was first announced in 2013.
Kristin Ford, a spokeswoman for Harris, didn't immediately respond to a phone message seeking comment on the restitution.
The case is People v. JPMorgan Chase & Co., BC508466, California Superior Court (Los Angeles County).

text: I wish to get my 2 children passports so that I can give my children the experience of international travel while enjoying a family holiday. The mother refuses to sign the section requiring her consent or to even respond to written requests to consider the notion. I have the children in my care close to 100% although it is not as sole custody of children, but merely because the mother chooses not to live near the children or visit them regularly. The mother pays no child support maintenance and continues to disregard the family law Final Orders including her need to have ongoing therapy to address her 'adult global functioning'. I have been given advice that to overcome the mother's lack of cooperation, I will need to go back to court and open up the Orders for variations. I have been quoted $9000 to do this. Apart from the cost, which is unaffordable, the stress of pursuing this action would have a large negative impact on myself and the children who have already had to deal with years of difficulty because of their mothers' poor behavior and decisions. The intent of requiring both parents consent for children passport is to help mitigate the issue of child international abduction which is of no consideration in this case. For the sake of dealing with a mother who otherwise has very little input into the day to day living of her children is it really necessary to drag everyone through the court system or is there a way around it?

US, China agree on 'nuclear-free Korea' push
Latest update : 2013-04-14
US Secretary of State John Kerry and China's foreign policy chief Yang Jiechi said Saturday that both countries are committed to the denuclearisation of the Korean Peninsula in a "peaceful manner" following talks in Beijing.
China and the United States pledged on Saturday to work together to push for the peaceful denuclearisation of the Korean peninsula following the increasingly bellicose rhetoric from North Korea in recent weeks which has included threats of nuclear war.
As part of his tour of Asia, which included a stop off in South Korea earlier in the week, US Secretary of State John Kerry met with China's top leaders in Beijing with the view of securing support from North Korea's main diplomatic supporter in encouraging Pyongyang to scale back its hostility and, eventually, return to nuclear talks.
Following talks, Kerry and China's foreign policy chief State Councillor Yang Jiechi said both countries supported the goal of denuclearising the Korean Peninsula.

- Malaysian police arrest N. Korean man over murder of Kim Jong-Un's half-brother
- Kim Jong-un, François Fillon, French Police Brutality (part 2)
- Malaysia will not release Kim Jong Nam's body without DNA from next of kin
"We are able, the United States and China, to underscore our joint commitment to the denuclearisation of the Korean Peninsula in a peaceful manner," Kerry told reporters, standing next to Yang at a state guesthouse in western Beijing.
"We agreed that this is critically important for the stability of the region and indeed for the world and for all of our non-proliferation efforts."
"We maintain that the issue should be handled and resolved peacefully through dialogue and consultation. To properly address the Korea nuclear issue serves the common interests of all parties. It is also the shared responsibility of all parties," Yang said, speaking through an interpreter.
Pyonyang has as yet shown no signs of backing down over its nuclear programme, repeatedly saying it will not abandon nuclear weapons which it described on Friday as its "treasured" guarantor of security.
The extent of North Korea's nuclear capabilities is a matter of debate among analysts, but the country is believed to have successfully conducted underground nuclear tests in 2006 and 2009 while also pursuing a uranium enrichment programme.

One of the most important parts of grilling is knowing when to say when. You want your meats to be cooked to perfection, of course, but looks can be deceiving. Those drumsticks might seem perfect on the outside, but if they're even a little bit raw on the inside, you could be in for some unhealthy trouble.

Check out our excellent smoker accessories to keep your smoker functioning at peak efficiency. From state of the art apps to thermal blankets, we've got you (and your grill) completely covered.

BBQ Island, we know that buying a grill from us isn't the end of our relationship — it's only just the beginning. After all, you're going to need plenty of BBQ supplies to keep your grill clean and your meat tasty as you explore the wonderful world of grilling.
At BBQ Island, we're more than just a barbecue grill store. We're also educators — teachers of the fine grilling arts. A big part of grilling is cooking the meat over an open flame, of course, but there's more to mouth-watering barbecue than just the heat. You also need to know how to season your meat properly.
It goes without saying that here at BBQ Island, we love everything about BBQ grills. We love to sell grills, we love to cook on grills, and we even love to shop for grills! As the go-to store for all of your BBQ needs, it is our mission to make sure that we are stocked with the very best.

Or if you're a budding gourmet who loves wood-fired, vegetarian pizzas, we've got a grill for that, too.

Formula One knows it has a fight on its hands as motor racings newest championship fills every seat in the house at Brands Hatch
BERNIE ECCLESTONE claims to be unconcerned, but plenty of people in Formula One will have one eye on events at Brands Hatch today.
That the new single-seater series A1 Grand Prix was able to sell out the circuit before turning a wheel in anger is enough to make anybody sit up and take notice. For those who work within the self-styled motorsport elite, the problem is that what seems to have made A1 appealing is that it offers the fans everything F1 does not.
Much depends on the quality of racing, of course, and that can only be judged today.

Pelosi: Race playing role in GOP's reluctance to move immigration bill Greg Nash
By Mike Lillis - 04/10/14 01:00 PM EDT
Issues of race have made GOP leaders reluctant to back immigration reform, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) charged Thursday.
The Democratic leader suggested that the Republicans would have moved a reform bill long ago if whites were the only beneficiaries.
"I think race has something to do with the fact that they're not bringing up an immigration bill," Pelosi told reporters in the Capitol. "I've heard them say to the Irish, 'If it were just you, this would be easy.' "
The remarks came in response to a question about the often-testy relationship between congressional Republicans and the administration of President Obama, the nation's first black president.
There's long been grumbling among Democrats that Obama's race has exacerbated the partisan divide between the White House and Capitol Hill Republicans, highlighted recently by a flare-up between Attorney General Eric Holder, who is black, and Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee.
Pelosi was reluctant to say that race issues have fueled those tensions, arguing more broadly that Republicans have been "very disrespectful" of White House officials regardless of their ethnicity.
"I don't really want to go to that place, I would just say that their disdain for anybody who disagrees with them is pretty across the board," Pelosi said.
On the more personal topic of women's issues, Pelosi wasn't as reserved.
"I don't want to go to the race piece, but it certainly applies to women," she said. "It's so self-evident."
Amid the years-long debate on immigration reform, some Republicans have raised eyebrows for race-based comments surrounding the topic.
Last year, Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) suggested most beneficiaries of the Dream Act were drug mules.
"For every one whos a valedictorian, theres another hundred out there who they weigh 130 pounds and theyve got calves the size of cantaloupes because theyve been hauling 75 pounds of marijuana across the desert," he said.
Around the same time, Rep. Don Young (R-Ala.) was forced to publicly apologize after referencing the "50 to 60 wetbacks" his family would hire to pick tomatoes on his family's ranch years ago. The term is a derogatory reference to the Hispanic migrants who would often cross the Rio Grand to enter the country.
They have found they can call the GOP racists and win ... in virtually every problem on the political scene today.
Nancy can eat a bag of dicks.
...oh yeah, when Pelosi's great grandad said, "Ye shall not surely die"
I don't think the people of San Fransisco should be able to vote for people who set policy that I have to live by. It's time to break up this union.
Nanzi: Miss Lube Rack of 1928.
i think Obama opposes Boehner because he's white.
Remember when the Democrats voted against the Civil Rights Bill in the 1960's?
The Dems have always been racist going back to the 1860's at least.
Amazing that the Irish are brought up. Nothing to do with race, Pelosi, you ignoramus. People were against the Irish in the 1800's because they were seen as taking jobs. However, I believe that the Irish came here LEGALLY.
Besides, stopping illegal invaders from stealing our jobs and committing brutal crimes in our country has nothing to do with race. It has to do with common sense.
Why didn't you do it while you were Queen of the Nut House Nancy or were you saving it for just this type of election coming up
"People were against the Irish in the 1800s because they were seen as taking jobs."
Religion was an issue as well; they weren't WASPs, who feared the Irish would destroy the country they'd built. In hindsight, the WASPs were probably right; to this day too many Irish vote Democrat as though it is 1860.
Without claims of GOP racism, what would the Dems have?
I despise that race of elitists residing in DC who think they are entitled to keep me in line, dictate my dos and don'ts, while calling me names.
From now until November.
What really begs the question, here; is the assumption that race & ethnicity are not legitimate considerations in formulating an immigration policy. They certainly were important to the Founding Fathers, who gave us the political culture we are trying to preserve.
Coincidentally, consider Significance of Crimea's Return To Russia.
William Flax
From now until the public turns against this idiocy, once & for all. So long as it works for them, they will continue to use it.
The left never stops with the race card, ever!
Someone needs to retaliate one of these days and call Pelosi a pedophile in front of the cameras. Let's see how she handles being slandered.
Word has it Pelosi ""LOVES"" women.
She's past the sex part. But the women part, no.
What a lying B##ch.
Pelosi and the Democrats are getting boring with their blame game.
Before she goes into one of her hysterical, nonsensical tirades, she should explain why the Democrats refuse to secure the borders. And then, in due time, deal with the illegal aliens already here.
Pelosi could support initiatives to sort out and deport the criminal element and gang members, the then work with the lawmakers to come up with a compassionate approach for those hard working, law abiding, tax paying illegal immigrants who jumped the line to get into our country.
There is no hurry to do that; they have been in this country for generations, and can wait until we have a fair and balanced remedy that is acceptable and fair to those who waited in line.
Are the Democrats angry because we do not want to do again what we did in 1987 that only encouraged tens of millions more to illegally immigrate to the USA? Why implement a proven, failed policy?
We could turn this around on them. If tens of millions of white illegal immigrants were flooding in, taking jobs from blacks and Hispanics and voting Republican, those same "compassionate" liberals would be screaming for them to be forcibly removed from this country.

We went there many times during our 2 weeks staying in Malaga.
We hired also some bike-cars for children which they enjoyed so much. During Xmas vacations, the had many attractions. Just the shops and places to eat and drink didn't seem very nice to us. Above, there were some jumping play grounds which were very expensive. 5 min jumping...
This well-presented restaurant overlooks the large area of water that is almost too big to call a harbour. There for a couple of beers and light lunch, our tapas were enjoyable and inexpensive. The staff were friendly but as with everywhere in Malaga, spoke poor English. Our taxi driver from the airport spoke not one word! Would we come back...
We loved walking down this promenade on our recent trip to Malaga. There were wonderful Artisans selling creative items along the way on the weekend. The views of the lit up Gibralfaro castle and Alcazaba at night are magnificent.
Good for a walk beside the port during a sunny day. I passed it on my way to the Pompidou museum. Nice area.
Great area with the wonderful moden architecture that Spain after does so well. The palm trees give a nice backdrop to the port and separates the traffic along the main road. Shaded but light with see-through panels on the sea side keeps out any wind without spoiling the view.
When you arrive by cruise ship, as we did, one of the first things you see is the Palmer de Sorpresas. The palm trees are nice and remind us of Elche, Spain. The harbor views are very nice. The area is clean, well maintained and filled with locals and visitors out for a stroll or just relaxing with a drink....
Probably the loveliest place in the Port of Malaga. It is on the Muelles Dos, and a must visit place in Malaga. Even on a hot sunny day, the Paseo de la Pergola provides you with enough shade, the enjoy the walk, having the palm trees on one side and the sea on the other. It is a pity, that...
Pleasant spot overlooking the Marina. Plenty of seating and a restaurant to have a coffee and watch the ferries loading and the world go by.
This place is always full of people and live, the area is lovely and the views at night are Amazing, you have loots of shops and restaurants around and at the end you have the Malagueta beach that is very good, is a perfect place for a lovely walk.
A well looked after recreational area. Fun for kids at the playground, relxing place for adults with a fountain, plentiful of chairs, palm trees, and numerous cafes with a lovely seaview.

Municipality Vostochnoe Izmailovo
Coat of arms and flag
Shield: Moscow shape, Vert. Charge, a triangular sconce, Argent, with an owl facing Dexter, perched on an oak branch inscribed in Argent.
The Moscow shape shield is green and depicts a triangular sconce with an owl inscribed, perched on an oak branch, turned three-quarter right, with wings pressed to the body. All images are in silver.
The owl, symbol of wisdom, symbolizes numerous research and educational institutions in the district. The silver sconce reflects the ramparts of a mediaeval fortress, which have come down to this day and are a major place of interest. The green field symbolizes the Izmailovo Park and the exquisite Sirenevy (Lilac) Boulevard, which owes its name to plant breeder Leonid Kolesnikov's famous lilac nursery.
The flag of the Vostochnoye (Eastern) Izmailovo Municipal District is a two-sided rectangle with a 2:3 width to length ratio.
In the centre of the green field is a white triangular sconce fortification with a white owl perched on a white oak branch inscribed in it. The size of the image is 7/12 of the flag's length and 3/4 of its width.

Today, I was going to surprise my boyfriend at his family birthday celebration with a $2,000 trip he's always wanted, Ireland. Right before my gift, he had opened his mother's gift, an envelope containing a plane ticket. Guess where it was going? FML
By Anonymous - / Wednesday 22 July 2009 08:11 / United States
Top comments
that's what i was thinking. before you bought the tickets, you should have talked to his family in order to see if you guys could coordinate presents (like someone giving euros, someone giving clothes for the trip, etc.). if you did so, you wouldn't have this problem. i hope that you can cancel the plans for the trip and get back your money. or better yet, go on the trip as well! good luck!
My father and I once bought the same type of ping pong balls for each other. We'd just gotten new kittens (5 of them, plus their mother) and they loved ping pong balls, and we loved watching them play. Of course, it wasn't as if we couldn't use both sets and they weren't very expensive.
hmm...australia? asia? tell us!!
yea, great idea!
Just my thought. Isn't it perfect?
Exactly. Quite the opposite of an FML really
yeah...that was my first thought. i'm surprised neither of them got two tickets to begin with
OP Stay away from my country please- were pricks overhere actually, no point comming.
ya! this should be on MLIG (: now yall can go together and be so happyy
my thoughts exactly. OP said the mom's envelope only contained one ticket, at least, and there's no mention that she intended to go with him when she bought his ticket. it might kinda suck to spend $2000 on a trip you weren't planning on taking yourself, but at least now you get to spend that time with your boyfriend. :)

Who the fuck wants to go to Ireland?
Fuck you. Why shouldnt people wanna come here?!
honestly, you people are so damn arrogant. Ireland is a great place. I hate how everyone stereotypes all irish people as drunks. Most of my family lives in Ireland, and half of them are not drinkers, and I know a lot of people that are Irish and are not alcoholics. Yes, of course there are a lot of drinkers in Ireland, but what about the rest of Europe? Germany, England.
Thank you! Im Irish and yes I do drink but Im in no way an alcoholic! I hate the stereotype as well, I can take a joke but when people actually start believing everyones the same as the stereotype it gets annoying (the reason for me seeming so angry in other comments, sorry about that :L)
...Irish people, maybe?
Hahahahahah!!!! I've been to Ireland, it was cool, but I still lol'd at your comment
Yes, everyone drinks a ton in Ireland, but it also has gorgeous scenery. I lived there for a year, and I would never LIVE there again (too much fucking rain), but I would definitely visit.
irish people like drinking so much because they have the highest tolerance level for alcohol out of anywhere in the world. so they don't become alcoholics as easily.
bleh I don't know. the annoying accents, maybe.
I do! I love Ireland
well they are from the US so rather pointless them visiting their own country..... their gonna be so disappointed when they visit our country.....
She doesn't wanna go to Ireland, he does.
not only is it not HER that wants to go, but your reasoning for "YDI" is dumb
His name is "ydi_bitch" so I think the term "obvious troll is obvious" isn't powerful enough

I tend to take portraits. I want to understand my subjects, to capture their essence and show how they interact with their environment and each other.
My photographs have appeared in print in magazines such as National Wildlife (US), Twist (UK, and Japan), and Discover (US). They have also been used on-line for National Wildlife, Audubon, and National Geographic articles and advertising.
Please ask if you don't see the subject that you are looking for.

Dr. Val, Tara, and Melissa always take the time to properly address my concerns about my children's health and well-being. They are thorough and respectful and always explain things in ways that we can commonly understand. I always gladly recommend Children's Community Pediatrics in Mt. Pleasant to friends and family who are seeking a new pediatrician.
She is always very thorough each time we see her. I appreciate the fact that she listens carefully to what I say and never 'blows me off' when I bring up a concern. She is great with both of my sons, who have very different personalities and I always feel confident when I leave that we have decided on the best treatment for their ailment.
Dr. Valerie knows my child when she sees her, she takes the time to actually talk to both of us, answers our questions, is very friendly and knowledgeable and shows true concern when we are there. we are glad she is our pcp!
Love the doctor and the staff. so glad am office in Mt pleasant opened. Makes it so convenient.
Dr Vukelic is a caring doctor and takes time with you and listens to your concerns
Valarie was very attentive to my child's needs and seemed extremely knowledgeable.
Got an appointment within the hour for an acute visit. That was very much appreciated!
I am Katherine's grandmother answering the question for her mom. I bring her to almost all her health care visit. I love all the staff they are always friendly, fast and very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Dr valerie to friends and family
We've never had a bad experience at CCP Moutainview or Mount Pleasant.
Everyone is always so helpful, friendly and accommodating.
I am very pleased with my child care provider and have recommended CCP to many friends and family members.
The regular office hours ended at 3:30. I called at 4:00 and they were still there and agreed to see my daughter after hours. They spent from 4:10 to 5:00 just assisting us. That was the best service we could have ever imagined.

Their Very Blood is Seductive
True Blood
Season Two First Four
Anna Paquin, Rutina Wesley, Stephen Moyer, Deborah Ann Woll, Lizzy Caplan, Ryan Kwanten
Regular airtime: Sundays, 9pm ET
US: 14 Jun 2009
I'm sick of things sneaking up on me.
—Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin)
"Every time I think I know what's what, it turns out I don't know anything." As much as Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin) thinks through her dilemmas—numerous and profound, usually having to do wit her vampire boyfriend—she remains mystified by her own choices and those made by others. The choice she's contemplating now, during the first few minutes of True Blood's second season, has resulted in a traumatizing sight: a corpse left in the back seat of Detective Andy's (Chris Bauer) car, her mouth gaping, limbs stiff with rigor mortis, and her heart literally ripped from her chest.
As Sookie ponders her limits, Tara (Rutina Wesley) tries to maintain control, hoping to elude confessing to cops what she knows about the victim, namely, that she kept a "voodoo bus out in the middle of the woods." Whether this has anything to do with the woman's grisly end is unknown. What is abundantly clear by this brutal, swift, and exquisitely yucky scene is True Blood is back, doing what it likes to do best, that is, dumping you into yet another crisis with precious little context or buildup. Sly and beguiling, it offers up desperate souls and sweaty bodies, hungry vampires and fearful humans.
Tensions between communities in Bon Temps, Louisiana are rising. Even as Sookie is making her way from the crime scene to her regular late-night liaison with her gentleman vampire lover Bill (Stephen Moyer), he's trying to get a hold of his own changed situation. The new master of Jessica (Deborah Ann Woll), whom he turned late last season, he's not quite equipped to cope with the ordeals of a teenaged girl, a point that Sookie makes shortly after she discovers Jessica (who emerges, betoweled, from the bathroom as Sookie and Bill are entangled mid-clinch, to announce how much she likes his "shower"). When Sookie wonders exactly what's gone on—"You bit her, you drained her. Did you have sex with her?"—Jessica is instantly endearing and annoying, like a lot of kids her age: "Eww!" she gasps at the thought, "Old!"
Jessica is the designated replacement for the vampire Bill killed last year in order to save Sookie. That Eric Northman (Alexander Skarsgîrd), the vampire sheriff in Bon Temps, has ordered the replacement is more a matter of policing Bill than replenishing undead ranks. These two have a seriously complicated relationship, partly dictated by their competition for Sookie (Eric wants to put her thoughts-reading skills to his own uses, while Bill, well, he appreciates that she's inspired him to feel "something I thought had been lost to me forever"), and partly by their concern over who has the oldest, most potent blood (the new season will be introducing two new vampires, both older than Eric, one a princess played by Evan Rachel Wood). As Eric and Bill have to make deals and trade favors, they repeatedly declare their mutual respect, compare notes on their trainees: Eric's girl wears killer pumps and is "lazy but loyal," Bill describes Jessica as "petulant and afraid."
As much as they think themselves opposed, these boys are awfully alike, sharing a righteous moodiness and sense of alienation that the younger generation just doesn╒t. They're mystified by the new vampires' ability to slide in and about of human communities, and not a little worried when dead bodies start showing up that are plainly not the work of vampires. Bill is horrified by his new responsibilities as a maker (i.e., a father). "She has no humanity," he whines to Sookie, "She's in the grips of an overwhelming transformation. There will be times when she cannot control even a single impulse and believe me, she has many." Sookie rolls her eyes: "How is that different from being a teenage girl?"
But as vampires are learning how to mingle with humans who are, as Sookie puts it, "open-minded," other humans are turning up the anti-vampire heat. Where last season showcased an anti-immigrants-like movement bolstered by sensationalist talking-heads media, here the haters are overtly religious, rich, and recruiting. Sookie's brother Jason (Ryan Kwanten) remains disturbed by his own encounter with a dead body last season (his girlfriend killed a vampire who was, Jason worries, a "nice person"). Picking up on the search for order and redemption he started last season Jason heads off to church camp with the telegenic Rev. Steve Newlin (Michael McMillian) and his Stepfordy wife Sarah Newlin (Anna Camp).
Jason isn't certain how he feels about "fangers." Not only is his sister dating one, but he's also aware that his beloved gran was killed by a human full of hate for vampires. Still, he likes fitting in, and likes being told how "special" he is, and so he's inclined to swallow Steve's patent illogic. With humans designated light and vampires dark, he insists, the sides are absolute: "You cannot love evil, you have to hate it so hating evil is really loving good." Gee, Jason gulps, never thought of it that way.
Even as Jason is almost tripping over himself en route to his salvation, Tara is having her own "community" issues, spending a little too much time at the home of sexy-goofily vibrating Maenad Maryann (Michelle Forbes), not to mention falling for Eggs (Mehcad Brooks). If Jason's getaway is flag-waving and pert (during a group session, Jason hangs his head, "I ain't much of a sharing type of guy"), Tara's is hot and sultry, tres Louisiana, even if Maryann's outfits look like knockoffs of Angelina Jolie's goddess gowns from Alexander. Neither adventure is especially subtle or interesting, but together they underscore the similarities between fundamentalisms—whether Christian or pagan.
These too-easy distinctions are effectively messed up in Tara's cousin Lafayette (Nelsan Ellis). Locked up in a vampire's dungeon as this season begins, he tries to deal with his captor. First, after weeks of torture, he declares his willingness to give up whatever information he can, with apt intertextual allusion: "If I got even a Jew at an al-Qaeda pep rally chance of getting my black ass up out this motherfucker, I'm taking it." Presenting himself up as a vampire waiting to be made, Lafayette says, "I'm already a person of poor moral character, so I'll hit the ground running. Not only will I be a bad-ass vampire, but I'll be your bad-ass vampire." While this offer is discomfiting enough, it's made worse when Lafayette escapes the dungeon, dragging a chain and a slave's collar around his neck. Never one to understate, Lafayette resists Tara's nurturing and Sookie's protection. He's learned to rely on himself, and he makes all too plain what everyone else in True Blood talks around: (Southern) romance is a long-lived deception, comprised of power struggles and betrayals and brutalities.

SHA-1 is a legacy cryptographic hash that many in the security community believe is no longer secure. Using the SHA-1 hashing algorithm in digital certificates could allow an attacker to spoof content, perform phishing attacks, or perform man-in-the-middle
attacks. Microsoft, in collaboration with other members of the industry, is working to phase out the SHA-1 protocol and to warn consumers of the possible risk when they encounter websites using the SHA-1 protocol.
In 2015, we announced plans to change the way that Windows applications and devices handled SHA-1 certificates. After extensive consultations with members of the industry, we're adjusting our plan to better align the risk with the experience we want our
customers to have.
These changes will take place in multiple phases and are targeted to certificates that chain to and are trusted as part of the Microsoft Trusted Root Program.
The Plan has three phases. Phases one and two are centered around a browser scenario. Phase one is what we are doing today in Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer 11. Phase two is what we will do in those browsers beginning in February 2017. Phase three
is our plan beyond February 2017.
February 14, 2017
TLS Server-Authentication Certificates
No lock icon Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer 11
Invalid Certificate
Code Signing Certificates
Timestamping Certificates
S/MIME Certificates
OCSP and CRL Signing Certificates
OCSP Signatures
OCSP Responses
CRL Signatures
Code Signature File Hashes
Timestamp Signature Hashes
The first phase of our plan is to indicate to users that browse to TLS-secured websites that SHA-1 is less secure than SHA-2. Today, when customers use Microsoft Edge or Internet Explorer 11 to browse to a TLS site that uses a SHA-1 end-entity certificate
or issuing intermediate, customers will notice that the browser no longer displays a lock icon.
On February 14, 2017, Microsoft will release an update to Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer 11 that will display an Invalid Certificate warning page alerting users that their connection is not secure. Though we do not recommend it, customers have the
option to continue to the website.
February 2017 user experience navigating to a site protected with a SHA-1 certificate
After February 2017, we intend to do more to warn consumers about the risk of downloading software that is signed using a SHA-1 certificate. Our goal is to develop a common, OS-level experience that all applications can use to warn users about weak cryptography
like SHA-1. Long-term, Microsoft intends to distrust SHA-1 throughout Windows in all contexts. Microsoft is closely monitoring the latest research on the feasibility of SHA-1 attacks and will use this to determine complete deprecation timelines.
In February 2017, there will be no impact for roots that are not included in Microsoft Trusted Root Program, such as enterprise or self-signed roots that you've chosen to trust.
A cross-certificate signed with for a Microsoft Trusted Root that chains to your own root would not be impacted in February 2017.
By installing the latest November 2016 Windows Updates, including the November 2016 Preview of Monthly Quality Rollups for Windows 7/Windows 8.1, you can test how your site will be impacted by the February 2017 update. Please note that the Windows 7 and
Windows 8.1 updates are currently offered as Optional Updates on Windows Update, and are expected to be promoted to Recommended Updates on December 13th, 2017. You can do this by running the following commands from an Administrator
First Create a logging directory and grant universal access:
set LogDir=C:\Log
mkdir %LogDir%
icacls %LogDir% /grant *S-1-15-2-1:(OI)(CI)(F)
icacls %LogDir% /grant *S-1-1-0:(OI)(CI)(F)
icacls %LogDir% /grant *S-1-5-12:(OI)(CI)(F)
icacls %LogDir% /setintegritylevel L
Enable certificate logging
Certutil -setreg chain\WeakSignatureLogDir %LogDir%
Certutil -setreg chain\WeakSha1ThirdPartyFlags 0x80900008
Third party Windows applications that use the Windows cryptographic API set and older versions of Internet Explorer will not be impacted by the February 2017 changes by-default.
The February 2017 update will not prevent a client using a SHA-1 signed certificate from being used in client authentication.
Please see Microsoft's whitepaper on SHA1/SHA 2, which is located at
