Quick Summary
- Amino acids are the building blocks of protein and can be found in any high protein foods such as meat or dairy or high protein supplements
- There are also amino acid only supplements, the most common of which are BCAA supplements.
- Amino acid supplements are best taken around your workout times and especially during your workout times.
- Depending on the specific type of amino acid supplement though, it can also be taken before bed or during the day.
- Aim to have anywhere between 5-10g depending on the type of supplement.
Benefits of Amino Acids
Amino acids simply put are the building blocks of protein. That steak you're eating, that protein shake you're drinking and your muscles are all made from protein. Proteins are simply large structures made of a few or many amino acids. There are also a range of amino acids though that are not used to make proteins but have a range of physiological and chemical functions. There are 9 essential amino acids that our bodies cannot make, so we must have them in the diet in order for proper body function. Amino acids and their associated protein structures are responsible for repair and growth of body tissue, regulation of enzymes and hormones and to help us resist infection just to name a few mechanisms.
Having amino acids by themselves, especially essential and branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) are extremely helpful for reducing the breakdown or catabolism of muscle tissue and for kick starting muscle protein synthesis or muscle building. Many of the amino acids are also able to help boost sports performance, training and recovery.
How to Take Amino Acids
Amino acids are abundant in any high protein foods and supplements. You can easily consume all the essential and non-essential amino acids through diet and with protein shakes. However there are also plenty of amino acid only supplements and they typically come in the following types:
- Essential Amino Acid Supplements – These contain all 9 of the essential amino acids
- Branched Chain Amino Acid Supplements (BCAA Supplements) – The most popular of the three, these contain the three BCAAs of leucine, isoleucine and valine.
- Single Amino Acid Supplements – These supplements only contain one amino acid such as glutamine or lysine for example.
Amino acid supplements typically come in powder form, but there are also plenty of capsule or tablet form amino acid supplements. Generally, you'd want about 10g of an essential amino acid supplement, 6-8g of a BCAA supplement and various amounts of single amino acid supplements.
Best Time to Take Amino Acids
Most people tend to take their amino acids around their workout times and especially during their workouts as a way to slow muscle breakdown. You can take amino acid supplements anytime throughout the day though and some combinations of amino acids work best on an empty stomach and before bed. It's best to follow the instructions of the specific amino acid supplement and don't be afraid to ask an industry professional or an appropriate health professional if you're not sure.

Aryan Narrations: National Socialism - A Philosophical Appraisal
Colin Jordan traces the roots of National Socialism back to Greece and Plato's conception of a natural life, with the government providing the impetus to the full realisation of man's nature. This was also echoed in the idea of Roman citizenship and even in the Nordic tribes concept of community, that man was nothing without his people and that he should always strive to achieve the best for his folk and never settle for anything less.
Right and wrong in National Socialism is based around what is good or bad for the race and Jordan sees this as being similar to a faith, although Hitler did not want to see National Socialism take the place of religion. It is faith in our people that encourages us to strive for the best for our people, if we did not have faith in their intrinsic worth, then we would not be willing to die in battle for them.
This faith in our folk flows from a knowledge of our history and the great men that were a part of our race stretching far back into the distant past. The more we know about our history, the closer we feel to our people. This is not something that any other race could be a part of and the idea that nations can be built upon shared ideals rather than shared ethnicity is a recipe for disaster.

Extremely familiar but also quite different, Speedwells Tea
Rooms occupies the downstairs space to 221B Baker Street in The
Abominable Bride. In reality too, it occupies the same space as the
real-life Speedy's Cafe on North Gower Street in London. For the
purposes of the special episode a Victorian styled false facade was
constructed and attached to the frontage of the building, with the
entire street closed to traffic and redressed in period style.
Inside, 221B also looks different but familiar. Built on a
soundstage at the Bottleyard Studios in Bristol, this new/old Baker
Street flat was constructed to the same floor plan as the modern
day incarnation. Differences go beyond the cosmetic (the deer mount
instead of bison skull; 'All Is Vanity' instead of 'Mr Blue Skull')
due to the removal of the flat's kitchen. In its place is an
extended work space for Holmes, painted in stunning blood red - an
in-joke on the part of Arwel Wyn Jones, referring to the room
behind the scenes as 'the study in scarlet'.
Speedy's lives up to its name with superb fresh food at
excellent prices, made and cooked on the premises and delivered to
your table in a matter of minutes. We highly recommend the Sherlock
or Watson incidentally, or if you are just feeling thirsty, the
coffee is simply unbeatable!
Weekdays: Early untill 15:30
Saturday: Early until 13:30
Sunday: Closed
To get there take the Underground to either Euston [Victoria,
Northern], or Euston Square [Circle, Hammersmith & City,
From Euston, exit via the main entrance and turn immediately
right, walking across the zebra crossing on Melton Street and all
the way down Euston Street. Speedy's is immediately at the end of
the road, to your left.
From Euston Square, exit from the Euston Road entrance and turn

By Nelson Belen, Contributing Reporter
RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – On Thursday, November 10th, Brazil's national football (soccer) club, the seleção, returned to Belo Horizonte, the scene of arguably the worst sports moment in the country's history, to take on Argentina in a pivotal 2018 World Cup qualifier. After taking an early lead, the home team never looked back, humbling long-time rivals, 3×0, putting Brazil firmly in the top position of the South American qualifying standings.
For the seleção, it was the team's first match in Mineirão Stadium in two years since their 7×1 humiliation at the hands of Germany in the 2014 World Cup. And while most of the players on the club have changed since then, the team played agressively throughout as if looking to bury the nightmares of that fateful night in July 2014.
Messi and company actually had the first scoring chance of the game, but a great save from Brazil keeper Alisson, would be a sign of things to come. At the 24th minute, Neymar passed to Coutinho who quickly darted into the heart of Argentina's defense and scored on a superbly placed shot, sending the 60,000 fans in attendance into a frenzy. Argentina would be on their heels the rest of the match.
Just before halftime, a lapse in Argentina's defense allowed Neymar to scamper behind several defenders and receive a perfect pass from Gabriel Jesus for the easy goal, doubling Brazil's lead.
The second half continued with more of the same as an uninspired and rattled Argentina looked resigned to the fact that this would not be their night. At the 59th minute, Paulinho poked a dribbler past Argentina keeper Romero to seal the 3×0 win.
In the game's closing moments, fans were chanting the name of Brazil's manager, Tite, now undefeated since taking over the club in June. With the win, Brazil's fifth straight, they now lead the South American qualifiers with 24 points, one ahead of second-place Uruguay. The team will now travel to Lima to take on Peru on Tuesday, November 15th.
Argentina are languishing in sixth place, outside of qualifying position, and now gets ready for a must-win game against Columbia, also next Tuesday. Only the top four teams in the South American group will qualify for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

Warhawks Make Easy Work Of Bulldogs
Sept. 4, 2010
Courtesy of UW-Whitewater Athletics
The University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, the defending NCAA Division III champion, opened the 2010 season with a 35-0 win over Adrian College Saturday afternoon in Perkins Stadium in Whitewater.
Both teams took a while to settle in to a rhythm. The teams combined for just one more first down than punts (5-4) in the scoreless first quarter, and Whitewater scored two touchdowns in the second to take a 12-0 lead into halftime. The Warhawks scored more points in the third, 13, than they did in the first half, and wrapped up with ten more in the fourth.
Whitewater opened the scoring with a 17 yard pass from Matt Blanchard to Adam Brandes. The drive started when Warhawk punter Kris Rosholt pinned the Bulldogs at the one yard line. Three plays netted one yard, and UW-W took possession on Adrian's 44.
UW-W also scored the next time it had the ball, moving 70 yards in nine plays, with junior QB Matt Blanchard running the ball the last six yards for the Warhawks' 12-0 lead at the half.
A Blanchard to Adam Brandes 26 yard pass capped an 85 yard drive for the Warhawks at 6:13 in the third quarter. For the third time UW-W failed to convert the point after, making the score 18-0.
That drive signaled that the Warhawk offense was feeling more comfortable, as UW-W scored on four consecutive possessions in the second half.
The next time Whitewater had the ball the Warhawks covered 60 yards in seven plays, with Blanchard tossing a 5 yard score to Aaron Rusch. Whitewater led 25-0 after a change in kickers led to the first successful PAT of the day.
Rusch, UW-W's all-time leader in career receptions and receiving yards, scored his first rushing touchdown with a five yard run with 1:02 left in the third.
Eric Kindler kicked the first field goal of the season with 12:35 left in the game, putting it through the uprights from 24 yards to give Whitewater a 28-0 lead.
Booker Stanley's three yard run with 2:21 remaining, and Kindler's kick, capped the scoring.
Whitewater's defense limited Adrian to 162 yards, including 74 on 41 rushing attempts, a 1.8 yard per carry average. UW-W totaled 472 yards, with 183 of those coming on the ground with a 4.9 per carry average. The shutout was UW-W's first since a 58-0 win over Midland Lutheran in the second game of the 2009 season, a string of thirteen games. DB Matt McCulloch and linebacker Lane Olson topped the Warhawk defenders with 9 tackles each, with seven of McCullouch's coming on solo stops.
The Warhawk offense averaged 4.9 yards per carry because four players (Levell Coppage, Antwan Anderson, Blanchard and Stanley) gained 35-53 yards each. None averaged less than 4.4 per attempt. It marked the first time since October 24 of last season, a run of eight games, that Whitewater has not had a 100 yard rusher in a game. Blanchard, in his first start, completed 19-25 passes for 289 yards and no interceptions. Rusch,, 5 for 78, and Brandes, 4 for 131, led the receiving corps.
Quarterback Justin Hemm led Adrian with 47 yards rushing on 17 carries, also completing 5-10 passes for 24 yards with one interception. Mike McGee came on in the fourth quarter as Adrian played catch-up to complete 9-11 passes for 64 yards. Mitch Gabriele and Kyle Timmis split six catches and 57 yards evenly (okay, one yard plus to Gabriele) for AC. Safety Darren Walter led the Bulldogs with 9 tackles, four of them solo.
UW-W will stay at home next week, hosting Dakota State University at 12:00 in Perkins Stadium.

Dynamo rookie Creavalle has a chance to shine again
It has been two months since Warren Creavalle essentially sealed the 2012 Dynamo Rookie of the Year award with a stretch of three consistent starts during the club's season-high five-game winning streak.
Whether at right back, left back, center back or midfielder, Creavalle fit in nicely and more than just produced. He excelled as yet another in a long line of talented defenders in Dynamo history. He returned to the bench throughout August, but he was a constant presence on coach Dominic Kinnear's team sheet until he was injured on Aug. 22 in a CONCACAF Champions League victory in El Salvador against FAS.
Now that his left ankle has healed, Creavalle will take advantage of the opportunities provided in Champions League matches for players coming off injuries, seeking to regain fitness or stuck in the back of the depth chart. He'll return to the lineup Thursday night when FAS visits the Dynamo at BBVA Compass Stadium.
"I've been working hard trying to rehab my ankle, and I feel confident that I can get after it this Thursday," he said. "Before the injury, I started to gain a little bit of momentum, started to get some good minutes. I'm working really hard to get back to that point."
Priority is playoffs
The Dynamo lineup included only one regular starter when they beat FAS 3-1 on the road last month. Kinnear has made no secret that winning the MLS Cup is his and the Dynamo's top priority annually, so it would make little sense to use many regulars against FAS, considering the team must travel to Philadelphia to play the Union on Sunday afternoon.
"We'll probably do what we've done a little bit in the past with this CONCACAF," Kinnear said. "It's going to be a major rotation. Obviously, some guys are a little bit injured, so we have to be careful with that. But you want to put out a team that you think can win the game, and that's what we have to do."
Fighting to remain on course to reach the playoffs for the sixth time in seven seasons, Kinnear must weigh both competitions. Moreover, right back Corey Ashe is still recovering from the hamstring injury that forced him to leave early Friday night.
Defensive depth
Center back Nate Sturgis, who delivered the game-tying assist a few minutes before he was ejected last month against Honduras' Olimpia, must sit out against FAS. Fortunately for Kinnear, the Dynamo's top depth appears to be on defense, where the club didn't miss a beat after Kofi Sarkodie took over at right back for Andre Hainault.
"It's always a great opportunity for guys if you're coming off injuries or maybe you're not playing a lot of minutes," Kinnear said of Champions League. "(Creavalle is) definitely one of those guys. In the middle of the summer, he was putting in some good minutes for the first team in some big MLS games.
"It carried over into CONCACAF. Unfortunately, he got hurt, and it gave other guys some minutes that probably he was going to get."
There hasn't been much of a drop-off, if any, when Sarkodie or Creavalle have come off the bench. New Dynamo midfielder Giles Barnes, a former England star, also should benefit from Champions League action as he tries to regain fitness.
"Hopefully, it will be 90 minutes to get under your belt," he said.

|Charlie's Angels (2002)
Starring: Cameron Diaz, Lucy Liu, Drew Barrymore, Bill Murray
Director: McG
Rating: PG-13
Category: Action/Comedy
"Charlie's Angels" may have been one of the worst film ideas in history. Fortunately for the movie, it had an energetic director and an explosive cast (all the way down to the supporting roles) to make this first TV-to-film outing a complete success.
Taking place after the original "Charlie's Angels" TV series, the audience is introduced to three new Angels, a trio that favors martial arts instead of guns while still holding true to the classic Angel persona, selecting three beautifully unique actresses to serve the tastes of all men. Natalie (Cameron Diaz) is the pretty but dorky blonde bombshell, Alex (Lucy Liu), the super-intelligent and proper brunette, and Dylan (Drew Barrymore), the off-the-wall rebel and redheaded firecracker. Chaperoning the three ladies around town during their missions is still good, old Bosley, this time played brilliantly by Bill Murray.
The Angels' newest mission involves a rich, young computer entrepreneur, Eric Knox (Sam Rockwell), who has recently been kidnapped by an unknown group out to steal his blueprints for a voice identification software program that can turn any cell phone into a homing device. The prime suspect in the kidnapping is Roger Corwin (played with zest by Tim Curry), another rich businessman known for his risqu business techniques.
"Charlie's Angels" may be the ultimate popcorn flick. Director McG, whose rsum includes music videos and a handful of commercials, really shines in his first big-screen adventure. He takes sex and action where it's never been, glossing his Angels in sexy outfits, fresh one-liners and an array of ass-kicking action sequences. McG's explosive use of colors never allows for a dry spell, and even when the plot seems to tail off a bit, you'll still find yourself stuck in your seat mesmerized by his artful and wild direction. Point made: this is not one to miss.
DVD review:
The DVD for the box-office smash "Charlie's Angels" is almost as much of a treat as the film itself, smothered with making-of featurettes that'll make you feel like a real Hollywood know-it-all. To start off, the film is presented in some pretty sharp video quality, taking great advantage of McG's use of extensive coloring throughout his film. The colors really just explode on your little TV set just like it did in the theaters.
But who am I kidding, do anyone of us really buy these Special Edition DVDs for the impressive video quality? Okay, so maybe there are some of us that do, but the other 99% of us buy it for the extras, and boy does this have some nice extras. As usual, a really informative director and cinematographer commentary is available to listen to, explaining almost every aspect of each shot -- very nice for the film buffs out there. The rest of the featurettes are as follows: a look at director McG; the martial arts choreography of Master Cheung-Yan Yuen (brother of Woo-Ping from "The Matrix"); a view of the Angel World; the wardrobe used for each Angel; SFX, scene-by-scene; a special on how the Hong Kong wire-work was used and integrated; three so-so deleted scenes; and two music videos with music from the film. That's a lot to take in all at once, so it may take you a while to get through them all. But this DVD is definitely worth a viewing, not only for the amazingly entertaining film, but for the awesome extras attached to it as well.

text: So it's trellis time! Not yet the one at the front of the house which is actually also finished but one here at the back against the fence towards my neighbors. It all looked a little too bare so I transferred some of the many Clematis that grow like weeds in my back yard to right there in front. I didn't want to ruin the simple look of the fence by attaching anything major on it like a wood structure but instead went for a metal wire one. I saw something similar in a Martha magazine years ago and saved the idea until now. The trellis basically consists of galvanized metal wire and eye bolts. I drilled a whole at the top and one at the bottom on the upright planks and twisted the wire in place between. I wasn't able to get perfectly straight wires because they were of a slightly thicker guage than I wanted but I don't really mind. The Clematis love their new spot, are thriving against the fence and are happily climbing the wires and stretching over to the next ones. I think it turned out really great and it will be really pretty once they start blooming later on. Ps. Check out these cute Swedes!Wire Trellis

Kansas City paid its respects and said its farewells to banker, philanthropist and civic leader R. Crosby Kemper Jr. on Thursday at a public celebration of his life.
About 900 people, including family, attended the service at the Grace & Holy Trinity Cathedral in Kansas City, organizers said. The morning event easily filled the pews in the cathedral and most of the chairs inside Founders' Hall, where the ceremony was displayed on big screens.
The Rev. Michael Shaffer, a nephew by marriage, delivered the homily, although he told those assembled that he had questioned Kemper's choice as they met to go over the plans for the day.
"Well, that conversation went just as you guessed, given that I'm standing here," Shaffer said.
And then he quoted Kemper: "I can assure you you will not be the only person in the room of whom I've asked a favor."
Shaffer said the 6-foot-7 Kemper was well known for his "booming voice" and "physical bearing … yet underappreciated for his caring and loving heart of equally large measure."
Thursday's turnout reflected Kemper's three decades at the helm of UMB Financial Corp., his 1982 financial rescue of Kansas City's symphony, his co-founding of the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art and gifts to the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, his support for the region's agricultural base, and many other gifts and labors.
Since Kemper's death last week at 86, his beneficiaries, institutions and individuals alike, have praised his role in their successes.
"The family is humbled by the breadth and depth of the expression of condolences," Shaffer said.
In his preparation for death, Kemper had confirmed his Episcopal faith and reflected on his life, Shaffer said. Some regrets. Some mistakes. But he had done his best.
"I've stuck my neck out a time or two," Shaffer quoted Kemper to say. "But that's what leadership is about. I don't think it can be done any other way."
"I know I'm in the hands of God, and that's a damned good place to be," Kemper had told Shaffer.
At the celebration's end, a string quartet from the Kansas City Symphony played "America the Beautiful" as Kemper's flag-draped casket was carried out to a private burial ceremony.
A public reception followed Thursday afternoon at the Kemper Museum.

"Since the 2014 Youth Olympics, our main goal has been to become the World Capital of Roller Sports. We are working hard on the promotion of the roller sports and we hope that more and more young people could get close to these disciplines in the next few years."
The words of Mr. Hu Wanjin, Deputy Mayor of Nanjing, summarize the concept of "legacy" just fine: after being showcased in the SportsLab, the roller sports reached the hearth of Nanjing so much so that the City recognized Roller Sports as the perfect fit for its growing community of members very focused on youth activities.
Today, the FIRS President Sabatino Aracu officially awarded Nanjing with the title of "World Capital of Roller Sports", in the Sala Giunta of the Italian NOC in Rome at the presence of the Italian Olympics Committee President, Mr. Giovanni Malagò, and Mr. Mario Pescante, IOC Member and Permanente Observer to United Nations.
"Sharing IOC President Bach's view on how important the legacy with the city of Nanjing was, the FIRS started a cooperation with its Municipality that produced a series of very important commmitments: the first International Seminar for Coaches/Ambassadors hold in 2015, the 2016 World Speed Championships, the 2018 World Inline Hockey Championships and, above all, the first edition in 2017 of the FIRS World Roller Games", Mr. Aracu said in his speech before the delivering of the honorary plaque.
"For all these reasons, and having witnessed with how much love, enthusiasm and expertise Nanjing cares for young people and Roller Sports, the FIRS will award the City of Nanjing with the title of World Capital of Roller Sports."

Sense of Belonging and Mental Health in Hamilton, Ontario: An Intra-Urban Analysis
Kitchen, Peter; Williams, Allison; Chowhan, James
Social Indicators Research, v108 n2 p277-297 Sep 2012
This paper examines geographic variations in sense of community belonging in Hamilton, Ontario. It also identifies the most significant health and social factors associated with belonging in the city. The research employs data from the 2007/08 Canadian Community Health Survey for respondents aged 18 or over living in the Hamilton Census Metropolitan Area. The primary unit of geography is the forward sortation area (FSA), which correspond with the boundaries comprising the first three digits of the postal code. The paper found that, overall, residents of Hamilton enjoy a strong sense of belonging to their community, one of the highest rates in Canada. Consistent with research at the national level, the paper revealed a strong and clear association between lower sense of belonging and lower self-perceived mental health. Age (45-64) and household type (couples with children) were associated with higher sense of belonging. The mapping analysis revealed that sense of belonging was generally strongest among residents of rural Hamilton and became weaker moving towards the city centre, with particularly low levels evident in the Lower City. The presence of lower sense of belonging and lower mental health was clearly visible in three FSAs comprising the central portion of the Lower City.

20 years ago, USA Network commissioned a pair of animated series based on a pair of video games. However, Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm didn't last very long.
Mortal Kombat, produced in part by Phil Roman's Film Roman studio with USA, offered an alternative to the live-action feature film and the 3rd Mortal Kombat game. You'd think the popularity of the game would translate on the air, but like other gametic toons, it didn't, and was cancelled after 1 season.
Never saw the show, so there won't be a rating. Meantime, here's the series opener:

Basically, if you're idea of fun is watching a cartoon show based on a video game (which was so violent that it pretty much forced the Entertainment Software Rating Board ((ESRB)) into existence) that has zero blood and fatalities and is more reminiscent of the sub par live action movies that said game spawned, then you're in for a treat.

In other words, it's a watered down version of the game. I suspect Street Fighter was the same.

Do these powders need to be expensive in order to be nutritional? Have you reviewed super green by country farms? It's relatively affordable but if I'm drinking junk I'd like to know. Can you help?
Thank you

AMHERST — A 22-year-old Newton native killed in a weekend bicycle crash near the Amherst College campus was remembered Monday as an artist who had a soft spot for animals and a contagious smile.
Livingston I. H. Pangburn, most recently of Granby, died Sunday of injuries sustained in a collision with a truck that was turning onto a campus road near the corner of Dickinson and College streets. Mary Carey, communications director for the Northwestern District Attorney's Office, said Pangburn was bicycling east on College Street (Route 9) at the time of the crash, reported around 4 p.m.
The unidentified driver, who was not injured, stayed at the scene after the crash, Carey said. Pangburn was pronounced dead at Baystate Medical Center in Springfield.
The accident remains under investigation by the Amherst Police Department, the Massachusetts State Police Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Section, and state police detectives attached to the Northwestern District Attorney's Office.
Amherst police on Monday afternoon referred questions about the case to the Northwestern District Attorney's office. Carey, reached by phone Monday afternoon, said she had received no further updates on the investigation, including information about whether any citations were issued.
Given the name Olivia at birth, Pangburn more recently adopted the name Livingston and was widely known by the nickname 'Liv,' said his partner, Michaela Schwartz.
Schwartz, who lived with Pangburn in Granby, said Pangburn was a 2009 graduate of Newton North High School who went on to study sculpture at Hampshire College, with plans to graduate in May 2014.
Schwartz described Pangburn as "one of the greatest humans of this century" – a kind, gentle artist with a love for animals ("anything alive, really," she added) and an interest in ending injustice in the world.
"He loved to ride his bike, drink good coffee, enjoy the beautiful outdoors, and draw," Schwartz wrote in an email Monday. "His heart was full and giving, and he brought joy to the lives of all of the people that loved him."
"His smile was contagious," Schwartz added.
For a time, Pangburn maintained an active presence on YouTube, uploading videos of original songs performed on guitar and vocals; spoken word poems; and video diaries on a number of topics. In a November 2009 video, Pangburn offered a heartfelt reflection on the news that a friend's father had received a terminal cancer diagnosis.
In addition to Schwartz, Pangburn leaves a twin sister, Margaret, of Amherst; a mother, Claudia W. Hoover, of Newton; and a father, David A. Pangburn, of Harvard. Pangburn's brother, Nathaniel A. H. Pangburn, died in February at the age of 26.

Why the FBI Apple hack is a good thing for security
No comments · Posted by lance in Personal Privacy
There is a lot of hand wringing about the announcement that the FBI, with outside help, has been able to break into Syed Farook's iPhone. This is not at all the same situation we would have if Apple had agreed to create the FBI requested version of the operating system. The important difference is scalability.
With this announcement we now know that law enforcement can break into any iPhone (of that generation or earlier at least) given sufficient effort. That effort is the key. It appears that the phone hack requires disassembling the phone and desoldering at least one chip at a minimum. It might actually be more complicated and cumbersome.
This is absolutely not something that any government is going to do thousands of times, it can not be done quickly and would probably leave evidence of the activity. This is fine for investigations of high value cases, but is absolutely useless for mass surveillance.
Contrast that with what could happen if Apple had created the security bypass operating system. Once created it would certainly be compelled in many different cases. Governments around the world would all demand access to the tool. That tool would allow rapid software only compromise of the phones without physical modification. This kind of attack scales to large numbers much more easily. Fortunately it would still require physical access to the phone, but that could obtained in many ways both overt and covert. I suspect that the compromised OS could be delivered through a modified phone charger for example.
Doubtless many companies will be working to make their devices secure against this kind of physical attack as well as making the kind of FBI requested modification actually impossible. In the meantime, the effort required to compromise each phone ensures that only a very few phones belonging to very narrowly targeted individuals will be unlocked. I can live with that.
Microsoft successfully challenges national security letter against enterprise customer
No comments · Posted by lance in FBI, legal
Microsoft challenged an FBI National Security Letter, and won | ZDNet
Recently unsealed documents show that Microsoft was able to beat back a National Security Letter (NSL) from the FBI.
NSL are like subpoenas but go through a different, and secret, process that bypasses the courts. NSL also include a gag order forbidding the recipient from revealing the existence of the letter to anyone.
Microsoft fought the NSL in question because it violated their policy of notifying all enterprise customers when they receive any "legal order related to data". The FBI withdrew it without any rulings on the legality or appropriateness of the NSL.
This may indicate a move towards some limitations of the gag order attached to NSLs, which would be very valuable for transparency in the whole process.

The real FBI facial recognition project
2 Comments · Posted by lance in Biometrics, FBI, News, Surveillance
The New Scientist has an article on the FBI's Next Generation Identification (NGI) program.
It started out as a project to replace the old fingerprint database, but will now include biometrics, DNA, voice prints, and facial recognition.
The idea is to database all the mugshots so people can be quickly identified after arrest, or possibly so surveillance video could be compared to the database to identify possible suspects.
Obviously lots of civil liberties issues here, but still a very long way from the paranoid hollywood inspired rantings about real time global surveillance with integrated biometrics.
Excellent EFF post on failures of Cryptography regulation
3 Comments · Posted by lance in Computer Security, Cryptography, First Amendment, Innovation, Internet, legal, Legislation, National Security, Online Privacy, Personal Privacy, Security Breaches, Surveillance
The EFF has an excellent article on eight reasons why government regulation of cryptography is a bad idea.
The short answer is: the bad guys can easily get it and use it anyway, and it will make security for the rest of us much worse (not including the big brother surveillance and constitutional issues).

To be born at all is to pick a ticket in a lottery. Land in one place and time and history leaves you alone to get on with life and make it what you can; a few years or a few hundred miles different and it intervenes with a black hand. Think of being a boy of 13 as opposed to 17 in much of Europe a hundred years ago and the difference that would have made to your life expectancy.
I had a lucky escape. As I have written before in these columns, my formative cricket year was 1966 when Sobers, Kanhai, Butcher and Hall came to England to intrigue and captivate a receptive young mind. Two years older and I would have been trying to drink in the desert of the 1964 Ashes series, and might well have fled parched from cricket into the arms of that temptress association football.
The '64 Ashes was the love child of Sir Geoffrey Howe and the speaking clock, plain to look at, wet and desperately dull. Almost 15 hours were lost to rain during the first test, at Trent Bridge. With the scoring rate struggling to keep above two an over during both sides' first innings, spectators will have welcomed the respite.
The rain and the funereal scoring at Lord's led to a second draw. At Headingley, 160 from Peter Burge helped Australia to victory and the run rate to a heady two-and-a-half an over. How selection policies have changed over the years. Fred Trueman and Les Flavell were England's only fast bowlers, so after Flavell was injured, Ted Dexter—brisk but very much a batsman who bowled—and Fred Titmus shared the new ball with Trueman.
And so to Old Trafford, the setting for our cautionary tale. In tune with the attritional attitudes of the day, Australia's captain Bobby Simpson was solely intent on avoiding defeat, thus retaining the Ashes. On Thursday morning he won the toss, opened the batting and was still there on Saturday morning when a bit of late hitting took the strike rate to a pulse-threatening 2.56 an over, having not been much above two an over for the first two days. Simpson's 311 remains the second-highest maiden test century after Sobers' 365 and the second-slowest test triple hundred after Hanif Mohammad's 337, both in the 1957-58 series in the Caribbean.
For real empathy with the hapless folk who paid money to watch this, look at the bowling figures of Tom Cartwright: 77 overs, 32 maidens, 118 runs, two wickets. Cartwright (then of Warwickshire, later of Somerset and Glamorgan) was a medium-pacer who could bowl with unequalled accuracy and with just enough variation to make batsmen even more risk-averse than usual in those cautious times. In first-class cricket he took 1,536 wickets at under 20 and at only a smidgen over two an over.
As I have written before, my Blean correspondent and myself frittered away our best years picking made-up cricket XIs. Our most debated and proudest effort was the All-Time Boring XI. Cartwright led the attack, which excluded truly fast bowlers, masters of swing and, obviously, spinners as being too intrinsically interesting. Cartwright's selection was a compliment, a reflection that he did what he set out to do—to wear batsmen down by the relentless tedium of nagging medium-pace accuracy—better than the hundreds of other English county bowlers who have set about the same endeavour over the years. Other bowlers were Derek Shackleton of Hampshire, cut from the same cloth as Cartwright, and GG (Horse) Arnold. The latter was a controversial choice, as Arnold could be quite interesting as a bowler, but was favoured as being most likely to induce boring batting in the opposition.
Three members of the batting line-up played at Old Trafford fifty years ago. Bill Lawry placed his position in doubt by hitting three sixes, and by being run out, always an interesting way to go. However, 106 at two an over despite the sixes supports his retention.
Geoffrey Boycott, in his debut test series, set the tone of the reply with three fours in three hours. Ken Barrington made 256 from 624 balls, though he did take an hour-and-a-half less than Simpson to reach 200.
Players with reputations as dashers were brought down by the miasma of the pervading torpor. Ted Dexter went no faster than Barrington in scoring 174. Jim Parks spent more than three hours over 60 against a tired attack. In went right down the order. Opening bowlers John Price and Fred Rumsey faced 51 balls between them for four runs.
England's defence for imposing this inertia upon the paying public would have been that the Australians started it. There is something to this; with no chance of victory why risk defeat, however remote the possibility? Yet for the past 30 years at least, the rearguard action would have been conducted with a bit more style and awareness that people had paid money to watch and should not be sent home contemplating a call to the Samaritans.
The 1985 Ashes was a milestone in this respect. On the face of it, it was an unremarkable 3 – 1 win by a superior England team. But look closer. Two of England's victories were concluded in the final session of the fifth day. England's scoring rate for the series was close to four an over, and Australia's was well clear of three. At 1960s scoring rates there would not have been sufficient time for the games to have finished and the series would have been drawn.
It is much more difficult to draw a test match these days for reasons beyond a more positive attitude. Fields drain quicker, covering is better, artificial light fills in when natural light is inadequate and some lost time is made up.
But let us not be complacent. For much of the current series in England (I write after the third day at Lord's) progress has been pedestrian, the scoring rates inflated by some tailend bashing. At Trent Bridge, as at Old Trafford half a century ago, spectators turned up for the third and later days pretty sure that they were watching a game that was going to end in nothing but a draw.
This report from the 1965 Wisden—unusually trenchant for the time—captures the futility of the events at Old Trafford fifty years ago this week:

I read a few tech reviews and didn't like what I saw, but I made the switch to the camera that's like a tablet, because I had to see for myself–and boy, am I glad I did.
Samsung Galaxy Camera Review
I know something that your typical tech blogger doesn't seem to know: I know for whom this camera was made. See, I have a nice Canon DSL. It goes on all our Indiana town trips and has done a great job.
But what it can't do? It can't accompany me so easily on a bike ride or a walk or a trip to the store. I don't really want to lug around a girly camera bag when I'm huffing and puffing through cornfield-lined roads seeing how fast I can make my favorite loop.
But I also have learned that I can't ride empty-handed! Remember the baby bunnies?
Enter the Samsung Galaxy Camera
I thought I could rely on the iPhone 4S, but sometimes…it just can't capture what I want. As amazing as the iPhone 4S images have turned out, it can lack range. That means that there may be a field or a fast-moving animal that it just can't capture like an actual camera could. Please meet my new friend: the Samsung Galaxy Camera.
So, no–this camera wasn't made for tech bloggers, folks who mostly sit at their desk and play with gadgets all day, it was made for Indiana bloggers and doers like you and me: people who are on the go and living. The Samsung Galaxy Camera was made for people who really, really like to take pictures and who don't want to miss a thing.
It also contains access to the Internet so you can still post to your accounts with ease–and download new apps as needed. That is a definite must for me so I can update Flickr, Tumblr, and the Little Indiana Facebook Page while on the go.
When I brought out the Samsung Galaxy Camera at the Northwest Indiana Tweet-Up, one man asked if it was the camera with the apps. I got to show him first-hand the neat features of this one. Besides social sharing, there's filters, smart camera functions, and even manual camera options. He was impressed (and had a fancy pants DSLR camera of his own).
Samsung Galaxy Camera Review for People on the Go
It's slim enough to tuck into a coat pocket without worrying about it. I've attached a lanyard from the classy T8 STORM iPhone case so that when the kids use the camera, I don't need to worry if their fingers slip. I'm all paranoid like that.
Really, this type of camera has all the features I need: terrific manual tweaks, awesome and unexpected auto settings, as well as the ability to upload anything instantly.

The hiring must flow
Hiring is an intricate dance between candidates who don't know your system, managers and executives short on time, and HR professionals caught in-between. By establishing workflows, HR professionals can quickly notify hiring managers and administrative staff—via email and even text—when they need to review an application or schedule an interview. Once you have narrowed down the choices, a candidate selected for an interview can be alerted and given interview time options.
Where's that resume?
Busy managers are likely to want to have candidate work history and qualifications in front of them on the day they need it—and not a moment before. myStaffingPro's applicant document and record management system allows HR professionals to attach the exact documentation your staff needs at the moment they need it, and it fits right into your workflow.
Never give the wrong answer
It can be uncomfortable for HR professionals to field calls from candidates in the middle of the hiring process. myStaffingPro's self-service status check-in allows candidates to see where they are in the hiring funnel. They can see that their resume is still under review, rather than calling while you shuffle through paperwork.
Job seekers should be nervous. Not worried
Job seekers should be nervous about performing well on an interview, not about their personal information ending up in the wrong hands. myStaffingPro's HTTPs security helps ensure that sensitive employee data can only be viewed by users with access to your system.
Streamline Your Hiring Process as Your Business Grows
As your business grows, myStaffingPro offers advanced hiring options for our enterprise-level clients:
Mobile-Friendly Hiring Manager Feedback
Text hiring managers when you have a candidate to review or want to schedule an interview.
Automated Phone Interviews
Streamline the phone interview process by adding an option for candidates to use Interactive Voice Response.
Video Interviews
It's not always easy to get candidates and interviewers in the same room. This feature adds the ability to conduct interviews by video.
Interview Guide
Guide interviewers through the process with company provided instructions. Includes the ability to add notes from phone interviews.
Offer Approval
Provide decision makers and candidates with a professional, easy way to review and approve job offers electronically.

Trevor Noah Had His New Correspondents Go Through Their Old Tweets
"This is a good exercise."
Trevor Noah is all staffed up and ready to go, but are his correspondents ready? After learning from his own experience when internet sleuths went digging into his Twitter past, Noah had his team go through the old tweets of his new hires. In an interview with the New York Times, Noah said, "When we hired the new correspondents at the show, they asked me, 'Have we checked their social media?' I said, 'This is a good exercise: You go through every single tweet and tell me what you think we should get rid of.'" What they found was that it was difficult to tell whether something was offensive or not.
"People came back to me: 'I don't know, is this offensive? Is this not offensive? Is this bad?' Exactly. You do not know what may or may not offend somebody." As for his own experience with past tweets coming back to haunt him, he sees it as an example of growth. "People go, 'Trevor, you should clean your tweets.' I go, I cleaned my life — I tried to grow as a human being. Someone goes, 'Yeah, but you wrote this in 2009.' I go, well, thank God I didn't write it in 2015. That to me is progress." To the desk!

Holy Cross Rallies To Post 12-11 Double-OT Win Over Vermont
April 7, 2009
Courtesy of Holy Cross
BURLINGTON, Vt. - Colin McGeehin scored the game-winning goal with 3:21 left in double overtime to lift Holy Cross to a come from behind, 12-11 victory over Vermont in men's lacrosse on Tuesday afternoon. The Crusaders scored five of the last six goals of the contest, while the Catamounts fall to 4-7 with the loss.
Senior Andrew Kelleher (Delmar, N.Y.) led the Cats with three goals and two assists, while freshman Geoff Worley (Coronado, Calif.) added three tallies and an assist.
Vermont had a great chance to end the game in the second overtime, as after a steal in Holy Cross territory Worley fired a shot at a wide-open net after Holy Cross goalie Jimmy Harrison came out to make a play, but the attempt missed just high.
On the next possession Holy Cross pushed the ball down the field and Kenny Minor found a cutting McGeehin for the game-winner.
Vermont jumped out to a 5-1 lead with 11 minutes remaining in the second quarter, as five different Catamounts each recorded a goal. Kelleher opened the scoring 2:59 in with an unassisted tally, while Holy Cross got on the board 5:33 later on a goal from Luke Marchand.
Holy Cross (2-9) cut into Vermont's lead with a pair of scores within 13 seconds of each other, making it 5-3 with 7:14 remaining in the half. Freshman Thomas Galvin (Cockeysville, Md.) wrapped up the scoring in the first half, extending Vermont's lead back to three with an unassisted goal with 1:45 to go.
In the second half Vermont led 10-7 with 4:27 left in regulation after a goal by Kelleher, as he grabbed a rebound right in front of the cage and put it back all in one motion.
The visitors would answer with the next four goals, as Marchand gave Holy Cross its first lead of the day at 11-10 with only 39 seconds left. The Catamounts forced overtime as off a fast break Worley lined up straight on and put one past Harrison to knot the score with 17.7 seconds remaining.
Minor and Marchand each scored three goals for the Crusaders, while Harrison made 17 saves. Freshman Alex Plavner (Arnold, Md.) stopped 10 shots in goal in his first career start for the Catamounts.
The Catamounts return to action on Saturday when they travel to face Binghamton in America East action starting at 7 p.m.
NOTES: Vermont out-shot Holy Cross 48-31 ... Worley has now tallied multiple points in all 11 games this season ... Kelleher leads the team with 32 goals and 40 points scored ... Tuesday marked Vermont's first overtime game of the season.

I was recently asked the following question: "You've carried out field research on hundreds of paranormal claims. What are your favorite investigations and what made them memorable?"
When you've been doing this as long as I have (nearly forever, it seems, though just under two decades), it's hard to pick your favorites. I've got hundreds of investigations under my belt, everything from ghost reports to crop circles to lake monster sightings to UFOs. Many of my columns in Skeptical Inquirer magazine (you are of course a subscriber, I hope!) describe my first-hand investigations.
Some were memorable because they involved doing cable TV shows, with all the pomp and (pseudo)glamor that goes along with that. Others were especially satisfying because they were seemingly impossible to solve, or were touted as the "best case" for a given phenomenon (such as the Nancy Weber psychic detectives case described in chapter 6 of my book Scientific Paranormal Investigation: How to Solve Unexplained Mysteries). Still others are memorable because I helped ease the minds of fearful families.
That being said, I'd have to say that my top three favorite cases are probably:
1) My chupacabra research, because it was a global mystery and I ended up solving it. It was a very complex case, involving vampire folklore, medical research, rumors, and much more. I traveled to Texas, Puerto Rico, and the jungles of Nicaragua looking for the monster, and in the end I was able to identify the very first sighting of the creature, and definitively link it to the 1995 science fiction film Species. It took me five years, but I solved the mystery, and I'm the one who did it–not because I'm particularly brilliant, but mostly because I put in the time and effort to do the research.
2) My research into the Pokemon mystery illness in 1997, where thousands of Japanese children went to the hospital with seizures after watching the cartoon Pokemon. It's not a paranormal claim at all, but instead a modern medical mystery. Through careful analysis I figured out what happened, and my research was published in a prestigious medical journal (the Southern Medical Journal, co-authored by my colleague Robert Bartholomew)-can the Ghost Hunters guys say that?
This is the twentieth anniversary of the incident, and I was recently interviewed by Motherboard about it.
3) I also really liked my investigation into the Ogopogo lake monster in British Columbia; it was published in two of my books (Lake Monster Mysteries and Scientific Paranormal Investigation). I collaborated with two other researchers, John Kirk and Joe Nickell, and a crew from the National Geographic TV showIs It Real? We did some field experiments to investigate a famous Ogopogo video, and found that what was recorded could not have been the size it was originally estimated. It was a fun blend of monster hunting and scientific experiment.
Maybe in a future blog or column I'll touch on a few more!

I Want to Work …with Children
Often when students say this to careers advisers, they immediately follow it with "but I don't want to be a teacher"
So what other careers involve working with children? Here are a few ideas:
- Social worker www.kent.ac.uk/careers/workin/socialwork.htm
- Playworker www.skillsactive.com/our-sectors/playwork
- Play Therapy www.bapt.info
- Early Years Professionals. These work with children below 5 years and are paid £15,000 - 26,000 p.a. The Government is aiming to have at least one EYP in all 20,000 full time day centres by 2015. The role is open to graduates of any degree discipline although early years, psychology, social sciences, child-related or education degrees may be preferred. It is a managerial/advisory role rather than 'hands on' once basic experience has been obtained. Fully funded training places are available (tuition fees & bursary), very similar to a PGCE www.education.gov.uk
- Art/music/drama therapist www.prospects.ac.uk/links/healtheraspec
- Educational/Child Psychologist
- Becoming an Educational Psychologist
- Association of Child Psychologists in Private Practice www.achippp.org.uk
- Educational psychologist profile www.prospects.ac.uk/links/edupsych
- Counsellor www.ccyp.co.uk
- Psychotherapist www.prospects.ac.uk/links/psychchild
- Paediatric nurse www.prospects.ac.uk/links/childnurse
- Nursery nurse www.prospects.ac.uk/links/preschteach
- Health Visitor www.nhscareers.nhs.uk/PDFs/factsheets/61_HealthVisitor.pdf
- Health Visitor profile www.prospects.ac.uk/links/healvisit
- Health Promotion
- in schools www.healthpromotingschools.co.uk
- Health Promotion Specialist profile www.prospects.ac.uk/links/healpromspec
- Community development worker www.prospects.ac.uk/links/commworker
- Children's librarian www.cilip.org.uk/jobscareers/careeradvice/choose/Childrenslibrarian.htm
- Children's bookselling and publishing
- Museum education officer www.prospects.ac.uk/links/museduoff
- Environmental education officer www.prospects.ac.uk/links/envadofficer
- Charity fundraiser – may involve working with schools www.prospects.ac.uk/links/fundraiser
- Events organiser www.prospects.ac.uk/links/exorg
- Holiday Rep www.careerintravel.co.uk/holiday-rep-careers-childrens-rep.htm
- Outdoor pursuits manager www.prospects.ac.uk/links/outdoorpursman
- Sports coach www.prospects.ac.uk/links/sportscoach
- Photographer - portrait or schools photography www.prospects.ac.uk/links/photographer
Retail manager www.kent.ac.uk/careers/sitereta.htm in shops or departments catering to children's needs, especially clothing and toys
These are just some opportunities where working with children will be a possible career path or where work with children is an important, although not always the only, part of the work.

Voluntary Work
This is an excellent way of gaining career-related experience in this type of work, part-time while studying or full-time during vacations or after graduation. Many full-time "voluntary" opportunities provide board and lodging and pocket money.
- Volunteering opportunities through Kent Union www.kentunion.co.uk
- See our Voluntary Work Page www.kent.ac.uk/careers/workin/voluntaryWork.htm
CRB checks
For all work with children, young people or vulnerable adults you will need to get a Criminal Records Bureau check.
The current legislation does not allow individuals to apply for a CRB check on themselves – this must be done by the organisation for which you will be working.
There are two ways of applying for a Disclosure. You will either be asked to:
Unbreakable toys are good for breaking other toys.
- telephone the Disclosure application line on 0870 90 90 844, in which case you will need to provide the Registered Body name and number (i.e. the name and CRB number (an 11-digit number provided to the employer by the CRB)of the employer you will be working for - the employer will be able to provide you with this information)
- or complete a paper application form handed to you by the person who asked you to apply.
In both instances, you will be asked to provide your name, address and date of birth, along with the Registered Body name and number, and the level of Disclosure. This will help the person who asked you to apply confirm your identity. A guidance booklet on how to complete the form will be provided.
There is an applicants' guide at
