Most mainstream media journalists are ignoring possible intelligence leaks to the creative team behind "Zero Dark Thirty," the film which recreates the hunt for Osama bin Laden.
Government watchdog group Judicial Watch is doing the work the media should have done all along. Now, a new report by McClatchy Newspapers reveals Under-Secretary of Defense Michael Vickers released "restricted information" to the film's key crew members. The report also reveals Attorney General Eric Holder's reticence to pursue the case.
Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton told Breitbart News the findings represents a "major development," one which could haunt the Obama White House.
"The documents we have implicate the White House, the CIA, and the Pentagon in the bin Laden movie leaks. And now we hear that the Holder DOJ has sat on a criminal referral until after the election. Disgraceful. This story is about to get very bad for this administration."

Apple Rumored to Debut 4.8-Inch 'iPhone Math' in June
Posted by Philipp Esselbach on: 01/21/2013 08:29 AM [ Print | 0 comment(s) ]
According to new information from the China Times translated by BrightWire, Apple is planning to release the iPhone 5S alongside a larger phone, deemed the "iPhone Math" by the report
From MacRumors:
Apple Rumored to Debut 4.8-Inch 'iPhone Math' in June
Because the iPhone Math name is highly unusual and does not fit in with Apple's traditional naming scheme, it is not clear if it is a code name or a potential mistranslation. China Times says that the larger phone will come equipped with a 4.8-inch screen and an 8-megapixel camera. It is said that it will launch in June alongside an updated iPhone 5, which will also feature an 8-megapixel camera. An additional iPhone update is said to be coming during the holiday season, with a 12-megapixel camera.

Why'd That Weekend Have To End?
I think.
Well you really came here for a round up, not to see me get all overly emotional. How often does that keep happening? Seems like way too damn much. So, on with the actual show.
Tuesday was about the goals I have set for myself, and how I don't really have many goals due to seeing a difference between dreams and goals. I have several dreams, but very few actual goals. The main part of goals is to make them attainable, and I'm just too accepting of my own limitations to really set myself goals I might not be able to reach.
Wednesday was a list of things you can do to make yourself happier. Six things to be precise. It was a post formed around an activity in my psych book in which I had to list six ways a person could lead a happier life. The post goes in to more detail too.
Thursday wasn't a podcast but rather a series of random musings about gay marriages on boats and how my family now know I like My Little Pony. Turns out my sister still reads occasionally and she saw that I had really been mentioning MLP a lot so asked me if I liked it. Simple as that.
Friday was a post about presents. It got pretty weird but basically my mum asked me what I wanted for Christmas and I had no answer for her. In fact it's now been so long I might have to tell her to just get me money so I can buy something myself. I had planned on writing a list of things down and giving it to my dad to give to her when he took the nieces home yesterday but never got around to it.
Saturday was the latest Immortal Space update in which Trent and Lena go on a date that SPOILERS. Basically yeah you'll have to read the chapter, but it really counters the whole "he's not such a gentleman after all" comments left on the update before.
Lastly Sunday wasn't much, but it was something. Jessica introduced me to a really beautiful song and so I shared it with everyone.
Well there you have it folks. I hope you guys have a good week, as well as myself. Enjoy it, for it shall be your last!
Remember, the world ends on Friday!

I love when you and Jessica have visits together. I wish there were a way for you to be closer together in location, like flatmates (did I use that correctly?) Or, perhaps just flat neighbors like Kramer and Seinfeld except neither one of you have to bust through the door like a manic, just eat each other cereal! I'm glad you had a wonderful weekend.ReplyDeleteReplies
You used that word correctly but we say roommates as well anyway. We've discussed living together before but I'm not sure it will actually ever happen. It would be totally Will and Grace style but she says we're just too different in some regards and we'd just get in eachother's faces. I trust her judgement on this stuff.Delete
Great to hear that you had a wonderful weekend. Those are the ones to cherish. And Happy Birthday to Jessica!ReplyDelete
Glad to hear you had a nice time!ReplyDelete
Question:Do these similar sounding replies irritate you??
I'm talking about all the comments you get here...Replies
By you or just by anyone in general? Sometimes if I get a similar sounding comment from the same person it can make me question if they're actually reading but generally I don't mind so much. I leave some similar sounding comments so it's okay. I know I read every word and there's a good chance they read every word I said too.Delete
I never know what I want for Christmas either, and in my family, asking for cash so I can buy something myself is kind of a slap in the face, so I'm in rush mode trying to figure out what I want.ReplyDelete
Also, yay for another Immortal Space. It's cool to see your characters growing and developing.
Oh, and so there's no chance this comment sounds like any others... titty sprinkle.
Start planning the next weekend to be just as awesome! That's what I do anyway (and then I get all jittery the whole week out of excitement) :PReplyDelete
I missed all of that? I'm sorry. It was a bad week. Thanks for all of your support!! It helped me a lot!!ReplyDelete
I'm so glad to hear that you guys had a great weekend Mark, sometimes the weekends that you get to spend with one person you just really care about are the best. Love this post mate and I'm sorry to hear that you're going to miss her on the birthday day itself, happy birthday to her as well at the same time, hopefully she has a great one.ReplyDelete
Well Happy Birthday Jessica! I really hope the world doesn't end on Friday. I want to know what my friends got me for Christmas!! D: xReplyDelete
I try not to get too morose about the end of a weekend. A Monday morning only means that Friday is soon coming.ReplyDelete
Which...uh...means that another Monday is coming. But, that brings us closer to the next Friday.
Which means...uh...aw, crap...my head hurts.
i completely forgot that the world ends on friday, and yeah they gave back some money and also raised my interests rates to my advantageReplyDelete
Yeah, I had to do a few things on the bucket list before the end of the week. One of those included submitting that guest post I promised you eons ago.ReplyDelete
It's been good knowing you, Mark. If we survive this, we'll look
back and chuckle.
I find it weird that we spend a perfect day or two and outside our tiny world everything is the same, because I swear everything seems to shine during those days only it doesn't in reality! Weird.ReplyDelete
I've been really busy this week so this roundup was very useful for me.ReplyDelete
Sounds more interesting than my weekend which consisted of sitting around and/or going to work. :PReplyDelete
I'm so glad you had a great weekend! (I did too, and it's always sad to see good weekends come to an end.) But hey, if the world does not end on Friday, think of all the other weekends on their way! :)ReplyDelete
I like going on weekend walks with friends too, because it is a good excuse to dance around arm and arm singing "Ease on Down the Road" together.ReplyDelete

I enjoyed this book because basketball is my favorite sport so I could connect to Mel. My favorite part of the book is the championship game when they battle their semi-rivals, the Polaras for a great ending. The weirdest part of the book is Stoney and Caskie become friends with Mel. This story reminded me of the time I went to camp and we were a great team but we still lost a few games.
I recommend this book to kids ages 7 and up. The interesting part of the book is the championship game that makes the ending awesome! This book is so suspenseful you will not put it down, trust me.

Continuing our series of blogs focusing on frequently asked questions, we're going to present two e-mail enquiries about machine polishing issues; specifically machine choice and pad choice. We receive a lot of enquiries about these topics, so hopefully what follows will be useful. However, as always, if you have any remaining questions please feel free to fire away below and we'll do our best to help.
1. "I've been detailing for a couple of years now and want to make the step up to machine polishing to gain further improved results. I've read on the forums where some people have gone straight to a rotary polisher with seemingly no problems. However, I notice you don't recommend a rotary for novices such as myself and recommend a dual action machine. If a dual action machine is the best option, which of the three you offer is the best?"
You're right; we don't recommend a rotary machine polisher for novices. A rotary machine is capable of a very high work rate and, as such, can remove a large amount of paint in a very short space of time. In comparison, a dual action machine will, generally speaking, remove far less paint than a rotary machine, due to its lower work rate. This is the main reason why a dual action machine makes more sense for the amateur user; it is fundamentally safer.
While it's true that a dual action machine isn't so fast when it comes to correction work, there seems to be a little bit of a myth on some forums that a dual action machine can't correct paint to a very high standard. This is untrue; in fact, if used properly, and with the right pads and polishes for the task in hand, a dual action machine can correct just about anything a rotary polisher can – only deeper marks on very hard paints will prove tricky.
Going back to the higher work rate of a rotary machine; this not only results in a higher rate of paint removal and the risk of 'strike through' (complete removal of the uppermost layer of paint, usually the protective clearcoat) but also the rapid generation of a substantial amount of heat – excess heat build up on a panel can result in the pant being burnt; if this occurs the panel will need to be repainted.
Taking all these aspects into account, I'm sure it becomes a little clearer why we recommend a dual action machine for novices – the much lower risk, with the promise of very similar results, makes this a better option for a non-professional user. Regarding the three dual action machines we stock, there are some key differences between them…
Starting with the Kestrel DAS-6 machine; this is probably regarded as the benchmark dual action machine in the marketplace and with good reason. It's tough, easy to use and quite inexpensive whilst also being capable of excellent correction work. The 500W motor is quite powerful and the machine is the ideal first step into machine polishing. For anyone on a tight budget, it offers excellent value for money, and comes with a standard twelve month warranty.
Next up is the Kestrel DAS-6 Power Plus machine; this is the newer, more powerful version of the standard DAS-6 machine. The key benefit of this machine is this extra torque provided by the 850W motor – on harder paints, where quite an aggressive polish and pad are typically needed for correction of severe defects, this extra torque keeps the head of the machine spinning, even under very heavy load. For softer paints, this extra power is unnecessary.
The Meguiar's G220 V2 machine is the newest on the market, replacing the popular original G220 machine. This new machine is very nicely finished and quite lightweight. Whilst on paper it may seem underpowered (550W vs 850W) and expensive (£200 vs £149) compared to the DAS-6 Power Plus, it does feature 'cruise control', which ensures the head of the machine maintains the selected speed, regardless of the level of load.
In summary, there is no 'best' machine, only the best machine suited to a user's needs and car paint type. In broad terms, the Kestrel DAS-6 and Meguiar's G220 V2 are best suited to tackling soft to intermediate paints, while the Kestrel DAS-6 Power Plus is ideal for hard paints. However, whichever of the dual action machines you choose, so long as you match the pad and polish type to the job in hand, you should gain excellent results. As ever, if you're not sure which is right for you; let us know and we'll steer you on the right path!

2. "I keep seeing new types of machine pads on the market. I've always had great results with my current pads – they're still in good condition as I only polish the car once a year or so. Surely there can't be that much difference between pad types, or am I missing something?"
Pad type is a vital aspect of the successful polishing equation, and should always be matched to the paint type being worked on and the polish being used. All automotive foam polishing pads are made from flexible polyurethane foam, but the nature of this type of foam can vary considerably depending on specific aspects of the manufacturing process. Cutting to the chase, what is important from our perspective as detailers is the grade and cell structure of the foam used.
Grade governs how soft or firm a pad will feel (at any given thickness), while cell structure affects flexibility and how air and polish behave on (and within) the pad. Two different cell structures are commonly used; closed cell and open cell. In closed cell foams (also commonly called pre-polymer foams and non-reticulated foams), air and polish are unable to pass freely through the foam (i.e. it has no discernable pore structure). This means that polish tends to be held on the surface of the pad during use, and that any heat generated during the polishing process is not readily dissipated. Closed cell pads tend to be dense and generally quite stiff and inflexible at any given thickness.
In open cell foams (also known as thermally reticulated foams), the faces of the individual polyhedral bubbles formed during the chemical mixing process are removed by secondary heating (leaving only the bubble skeleton behind), which gives rise to an open pore structure through which air and polish can pass quite freely. This means that open cell pads tend to soak up polish more easily, and are able to dissipate heat far more easily. In addition, this removal of some of the foam material during the manufacturing process also results in open cell pads being less dense and more flexible at any given thickness, and also, somewhat surprisingly, more tear resistant.
Applying these characteristics to the real world, if you're trying to correct hard paint with an aggressive polish, you'll be best off using a firm, non-reticulated pad, such as a Menzerna Compounding Pad or a Lake Country Hydro-Tech Cutting Pad. This is because such pads offer a high degree of mechanical cut and a lot of compression resistance, which forces the polish into the paint surface more and gives better correction. If a soft, reticulated pad was used instead, it wouldn't work the abrasives in the polish thoroughly enough, and correction would be poor. Furthermore, the abrasives may not break down properly, increasing the risk of seeing micromarring in the finish (micromarring is the technical term for fresh defects inflicted during the polishing process as unbroken down abrasives are moved around between the pad and the paint, leaving a faint pattern of very tightly defined swirl marks in the finish).
Conversely, if you're trying to correct soft paint using a mild polish, you'll be best off choosing a soft, thermally reticulated pad, such as a Lake Country Constant Pressure Light Cut Pad or a Meguiar's Soft Buff Polishing Pad. This is because such pads offer limited mechanical cut and a reduced working time, because polish is able to soak into the pad and away from where it is being worked against the paint. As a result, the rate of paint removal is minimised, whilst still allowing a high level of correction to be achieved. If a firm, non-reticulated pad was used instead, it would not only cut the paint more itself, but would also increase the work rate of the abrasives in the polish, and thus potentially remove too much paint.
Pad choice does sometimes tend to be overlooked and I find many people are keen to switch their polish when, in fact, a change of pad would be best. The two are equally, and vitally, important to achieving proper correction on any type of paint. Best practice is always to use the least aggressive pad and polish for the paint type in question, but sometimes it can be difficult to know where to start. Our online guide to paint hardness, which is based on our own long term experience in our detailing studio, gives an indication of which pads and polishes will be best suited for the task in hand. However, if you're in any doubt, let us know what type of car you're working on and we'll be happy to advise you further.

The Ford Foundation commissioned this paper to explore participatory approaches, especially participatory grantmaking, and their potential use by foundations. The paper synthesizes several existing participatory frameworks, identifies common components, and applies these to philanthropy as a "starter" framework that can, hopefully, be used as a springboard for ongoing discussion and development among grantmakers and non-grantmakers.

The real danger of outlawing Palestinian political movements
Banning and persecuting political groups like the Islamic Movement and Balad has the effect of disengaging Palestinian citizens of Israel from the state and its political system. That is very, very dangerous. The Israeli government has done very few things that worry me more than its ongoing assault on the country's Palestinian citizens' political representation. In the latest such move, the government outlawed the Northern Branch of the Islamic Movement and seized assets and properties belonging to 17 affiliated organizations on Tuesday. One of the things that enables Jews and Arabs to live together in this country, which despite everything…Read More... | 20 Comments

Increases in initial public offerings would normally benefit banks, but a recent surge in IPO activity is instead threatening to further shrink lenders' balance sheets.
IPOs during boom markets often create lending opportunities, as freshly funded companies look for loans to put the capital to use. Coming off a recession and a sluggish recovery, however, businesses now are using newly raised capital to deleverage.
"It follows the same advice we give consumers; it's better to pay down debt when we can save on interest expense," said Bruce Zanca, the chief communications officer at Bankrate Inc. in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
Bankrate went public on June 17, raising $300 million that it mostly used to pay off debt it had incurred making acquisitions. Compressco Partners LP, an oil and gas product manufacturer in Oklahoma City, also plans to use funds from a scheduled $53 million IPO to retire debt.
At June 27, U.S. companies had raised $24.3 billion through 79 IPOs, the highest midyear totals since 2008, according to data from PricewaterhouseCoopers LP.
Industry observers said that such an increase may be good news for investment banks, but worrisome for banking companies that are already struggling to find a suitable amount of commercial and industrial loans.
"The level of payoffs has been significantly higher in the last six months," said Gideon Haymaker, the chief executive of Seaside National Bank and Trust in Orlando, Fla.
The $705 million-asset bank increased its commercial and industrial loans over the past year by more than 50%, to $211 million at March 31. Haymaker said the recent spike in IPOs could tamp down growth for banks specializing in C&I loans.
With more IPO filings in the pipeline, more loans are likely to roll off the books of commercial-focused banks at least for the remainder of the year.
"It's reasonable that we'll see an upward trend [in initial public offerings] in the next quarter," Henri Leveque, leader of the capital markets and accounting advisory practice at PricewaterhouseCoopers, said in an interview.
Leveque said that at least 77 other companies have filed registration statements outlining plans to go public. Those initial public offerings represent the biggest pipeline since the second quarter of 2007, when there were 79 IPOs lined up.
Roughly a quarter of the 47 IPOs that were completed in the second quarter involved technology companies, accounting for about 37% of the volume, according to the report from PricewaterhouseCoopers, which was released June 29. Business services made up 20% of the IPOs, but only 16% of the volume.
(There were also seven IPOs filed by financial services companies during the second quarter, raising $1.1 billion.)
Activity in the second quarter rose 47% from the first quarter and 15% from a year earlier, the report said.
Leveque said many of those companies leveraged debt, particularly for acquisitions, when interest rates were higher in the last spike in IPO activity. Companies are finding that IPO pricing is cheaper than the pricing they're paying on debt, making it more attractive to go public.
(Normally, debt is regarded as having a lower cost of capital compared to equity.)
Zanca said that investors are also encouraged to invest in companies with reduced debt leverage. Zanca said that Bankrate's credit rating improved immediately after the company said it would pay off debt with proceeds from its initial public offering.
"When someone is looking at a prospective investment, it's nice know they are not going into a company with debt," said Craig Miller, a partner and the co-chair of the financial services and banking group at Manatt, Phelps & Phillips. If a company files for bankruptcy protection, senior and subordinated debtholders get paid before shareholders, who often are left with nothing.
A company's decision on using proceeds from a public offering varies depending on its sector and maturity. Leveque said that smaller companies raising $300 million to $500 million in capital, for instance, tend to use the funds more to "shore up" balance sheets.
Industry observers believe that, while paydowns on outstanding debt are higher over the short term, companies going public will eventually need credit as they prepare to expand.
"We definitely see these companies paying off debt, but that doesn't mean they're ending their commercial banking relationship forever," Miller said.
Miller said he has a client that recently switched banks to receive a lower rate on a $20 million line of credit even though the company has no immediate plans to tap the line. The company is likely to find a use for the line over time, he said.
(Bankers, meanwhile, have struggled since the recession with low utilization rates for credit lines.)
"Most company shareholders don't see [credit] lines as a negative, they just see it as another source of liquidity," Miller said. "With today's low interest rate environment, you will inevitably see companies tap the debt markets."

Tanaka, Ellsbury in spotlight
Masahiro Tanaka is well aware of what awaits in his first start at Fenway Park: the Green Monster and Boston's fans.
The Japanese pitcher plays his first game at Fenway on Tuesday night, starting for the Yankees on the same night New York center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury returns to the ballpark where he helped the Red Sox win World Series titles in 2007 and last year.
"I'm sure that the fans will be heated up a bit," Tanaka said through an interpreter. "I've seen the two teams play (on TV), and I understand there's a rivalry between the two teams going into the game. It should be a good experience going up on the mound that day, and I'm very much looking forward to it."
Tanaka has a simple plan for the 37-foot-high Green Monster in left field.
"I understand that if you give up flyballs, it might be dangerous," he said. "So, I think the best thing to do is try to get as many groundball outs as possible."
Tanaka is 2-0 with a 2.05 ERA in three games with 28 strikeouts and two walks in 22 innings. The 28 strikeouts are the most by a Yankees pitcher in his first three career starts.
Tanaka went 24-0 with a 1.27 ERA last year to lead the Rakuten Golden Eagles to their first Japan Series title, then signed a $155 million, seven-year contract with the Yankees.
Jon Lester is scheduled to start for Boston. New York manager Joe Girardi expects Ellsbury to get a mixed reception after leaving the Red Sox to a sign a $153 million, seven-year deal with the Yankees.
"We'll see what happens," Ellsbury said. "You can't think about what they're going to do. In this game, you can really only focus on what you can do. Not worry about all that other stuff you can't control."
"I gave the organization everything I had for a third of my life," he added. "Nine years in an organization; drafted by them, came up and won two World Series. I left it all on the field."
Briefly: Yankees closer David Robertson (groin strain) is eligible to come off the 15-day disabled list Tuesday. ... The Yankees optioned pitcher Bryan Mitchell to Double-A Trenton.

In Photos: Christie Brinkley through the years
To say that Christie Brinkley is aging well would be the understatement of the year.
It's hard to believe that the model - who has had three kids, four husbands and a super successful career spanning more than four decades - turned 60 this month. Posing recently for the cover of People magazine in a bright blue swimsuit, there's no denying that the all-American blond bombshell is as stunning as ever.
"With proper diet, exercise, and joie de vivre, every birthday is cause for celebration!" says Christie. We couldn't agree more!

What a frickin' jam session it could have been. Last night at the Hot Rats' LA debut at Spaceland, most of the members of Radiohead, LA-based producer Nigel Godrich, and Britt Daniel of Spoon, were spotted. As the Rats, which consists of two members of ace Brit guitar band Supergrass, Gaz Coombes and Danny Goffey, tore through an evening of covers, the packed club was abuzz with possibilities. The stage could surely hold four or five more musicians -- we've seen it happen before -- and with the built-in freedom of a cover-song set, well, we'll just go ahead and say it: Radiohead, Supergrass and Spoon could have performed "I Can See for Miles," or "Fake Plastic Trees," or the Kinks' "Some Mother's Son." It would have been something to see is what we're saying.
But it didn't happen -- and, honestly, it didn't matter. Despite that there are only two of them, the Hot Rats didn't need any help. They strummed their way through a set of covers -- including a fascinating version on Beastie Boys' "Fight for Your Right to Party" that the band transformed to sound like the Who circa 1967 -- that had Spaceland dancing.
Wearing cute striped sailor's shirts that complimented Spaceland's blue sparkled backdrop, the Hot Rats played the Kinks ("Big Sky," one of Ray Davies' best), the Sex Pistols' "EMI" (which is Supergrass's British label), and "Pump It Up," from Elvis Costello's great This Year's Model.
The Hot Rats debut album features these covers and more, and was produced by Nigel Godrich, who's best known for his work with Radiohead and Beck. Wait -- look over there, it's Thom Yorke. People start whispering, LA hipsters and music geeks afraid to be seen rubbernecking to look at rock stars. "Most of Radiohead is here," whispers one. Over by the entrance, the tall dude -- Spoon singer Britt Daniel -- enjoying the Rats' version of the Cure's "Love Cats."
We won't dwell anymore on what could have been. It was just cool to eat some comfort food -- a night of dance-friendly cover songs -- and sing along. When the Rats tore through Roxy Music's "Love is the Drug," the crowd bounced along giddily.
"I fucking love this venue!" shouted Gaz, and the place cheered back. The band closed with a fast take on David Bowie's "Queen Bitch," waved and left the stage. The crowd wondered about an encore. Could there be some sort of huddle going on among the rock stars in the room? Maybe "Street Fighting Man," or "Bang a Gong"?

Nope. Merely the Beatles' "Drive My Car," done sincerely and (a little too) respectfully by Coombes and Goffey, without Paul McCartney jumping onstage to sing along. Again, didn't matter. The band closed with a "cover" of Supergrass's classic song, "Caught by the Fuzz." The audience screamed every word along with the band -- the measure of a great cover version, actually: "If only your father could see you now/He'd breakdown and he'd throw you out for sure/I never should have let you out tonight."
The Hot Rats play again in LA on Thursday at the Troubadour. Grab those tix fast.

Though a player versus player mode was originally scheduled for launch alongside the base game, Blizzard announced earlier in 2012 that the mode wasn't living up to the team's standards. It seems as though that's still the case. Game Director Jay Wilson recently posted on the Diablo III site the most significant piece of information in months: Diablo III's Team Deathmatch mode has been indefinitely tabled.
As stated by Wilson, the mode isn't completely cancelled and may be released later in some other form, but Blizzard wasn't happy with how it played.
"For us it comes to a few issues, one of which is depth. Simply fighting each other with no other objectives or choices to make gets old relatively quickly. We've brought a lot of people in to try out Team Deathmatch and, while some found it entertaining, most of our testers didn't feel like it was something they'd want to do beyond a few hours."
Wilson went on to state that class balance issues in PvP were also a concern, as Diablo III was primarily built as a PvE game.
So what's Blizzard doing?
"We are going back to the drawing board on a new replacement for Team Deathmatch, something that feels more appropriate for Diablo III. And as we stated previously, regardless of when we release it, it'll be a free addition to the game. Team Deathmatch provided us with the foundation that we needed and served us well. Hell, it may even still be added in some form in the future. For now, though, we're going to first be looking at new modes that play up to the strengths of the character classes, focus on objectives beyond just defeating other players, and possibly even integrate PvE elements and rewards."
In the near future Blizzard will add the option to duel other players in Diablo III, but a full replacement for TDM won't happen anytime soon.
Wilson finished the post by saying that updates on Diablo III's dueling system will be made available soon.
In addition to the PvP mode, Blizzard is also working on an expansion for Diablo III.

Kate Hudson's father lashes out at her and her brother in emotional interview
On Father's Day this year, Kate Hudson's brother Oliver posted a picture slamming their father, Bill Hudson, for being an absentee dad. Bill was deeply hurt by that. So hurt, in fact, that he now wants nothing to do with Oliver or Kate.
More: Kate Hudson reacts to her brother's hilarious nude post (PHOTO)
During an interview with the Daily Mail, Hudson revealed his side of the story and how he is breaking ties with his older children.
"I say to them now, 'I set you free,'" an emotional Bill told the publication. "I had five birth children but I now consider myself a father of three. I no longer recognize Oliver and Kate as my own. I would ask them to stop using the Hudson name. They are no longer a part of my life. Oliver's Instagram post was a malicious, vicious, premeditated attack. He is dead to me now, as is Kate. I am mourning their loss even though they are still walking this earth."
Bill went on to blame the mother of his eldest two children, Goldie Hawn, who he accused of "willfully alienating" him from his offspring.
More: Kate Hudson's dad reveals open marriage with Goldie Hawn
"When we split up, she never had a bad word to say about me," he said. "But when Kurt came on the scene, the narrative changed and I became the big bad wolf. I would say to her, 'Goldie, why are you trashing me and saying I'm an absent father when it's simply not the case?' and she'd laugh and go, 'Oh Bill, you know it makes for a better story.'"
On Father's Day, both Kate and her brother took to social media to thank one very special man in their lives, Kurt Russell, who they both affectionately referred to as "Pa" — something that clearly stings Hudson.
More: Why Kate Hudson and Matt Bellamy called off their engagement
Speaking of Oliver's decision to post the absentee father post, he explained, "He chose the photograph and posted it on Father's Day, when he knew it would cause maximum pain. Oliver has lived in the shadow of his mother and sister all his life. Maybe he wanted to be in the headlines?
"If what he wanted was me out of their lives, then he's succeeded. I don't want to see either of my eldest children ever again. It's over."

Gareth Bale said he had shown character to battle through hard times to become a success at Real Madrid, after signing a contract extension which runs up to June 2022.
Bale, 27, joined from from Tottenham in 2013 for €10.7 million and has won two Champions League trophies and the Copa del Rey, while scoring 62 goals and providing 34 assists in 135 official games for Los Blancos.
It has not all been plain sailing however for the Wales international at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu though, with Real fans whistling him during a difficult second season in Spain, and cracks appearing at times in his relationship with teammate Cristiano Ronaldo.
"There have been a lot of great moments, in football there are always ups and downs," Bale said. "Winning the Champions League, for this club, is the pinnacle. There have been bad moments too, that always happens wherever you are, but the important thing is how you react.
"It would be easy to pack up and leave and go elsewhere, but it takes more character to stay here, fight and make things work."

Manchester United were reportedly keen to bring Bale back to the Premier League, but the player himself said he was unaware of interest from anywhere else and was delighted to remain at the "biggest club in the world."
"I could not tell you if anybody has been interested," he said. "If they have been, I don't know about it. I've just been focused on Real Madrid. We [players] never speak about these things anyway.
"Madrid are the biggest club in the world. When you have the chance to play for them you do not turn it down. I have loved every minute of it. I came here to progress as a footballer and I have definitely made the right decision. I want to keep winning trophies, and Real Madrid can offer that, they match all my ambitions."
Bale said that his three years in the Spanish capital had seen him grow up both as a person and a player.
"It has changed me quite a lot," he said. "It has made me grow up more as a person. I came to Madrid in the first place to try something different. It is never easy for British players to travel abroad and be successful but I wanted to improve my game.
"I have had two good years here, and one that was not so good, which helped me to grow up too. Good and bad press is all part and parcel of the game. If you listen too much you can get yourself down. I know from experience not to listen too much to either the good or the bad comments."
Bale has long been spoken about as a potential Ballon d'Or winner, but said such personal trophies were not something he thought about too much.
"As for the Ballon d'Or if you are playing well for your club and country and winning trophies, these things will happen," he said. "For me it has never been a personal goal, when I was younger it was always about winning team titles.
"The personal awards come around when the team does well. It is not something I am striving towards, if it does come fantastic, but first and foremost it is about the team."
Incredible feeling to sign at the biggest club in the world for another 6 years!! #bale2022 #halamadrid pic.twitter.com/0HYnTqmc1S
– Gareth Bale (@GarethBale11) October 31, 2016
Although one of this year's 30-man shortlist, Bale said he wished teammate Cristiano Ronaldo luck in the race for the 2016 award.
"If I was the judge I could answer but I'm not," he said. "A lot of players have had great seasons and I'm sure the voting will decide.
"Cristiano has been incredible this year, won the Champions League and Euro 2016. For me he has had a fantastic season and I wish him luck as my teammate."
Bale will be 33 when this new contract ends, and suggested he would like to finish his career at the Bernabeu.
"For sure, the reason I have signed for so long is I am very happy here," he said. "Each year I am more confident and playing better. I don't know when I will retire but my family are well settled here and I fully intend to see out my contract here."

First made available through the iTunes Store on April 28, 2003, the timeless power ballad "Don't Stop Believin'" has become the top-selling catalog track in iTunes history and the sole catalog track to have crossed the 2million (double platinum) threshold.
Following its original release in 1981, "Don't Stop Believin'," the second single from Journey's groundbreaking chart-topping "Escape" album, peaked at #8 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart and at #9 on the Pop Singles chart. Propelled by what the All Music Guide has called "one of the
best opening keyboard riffs in rock," "Don't Stop Believin'" quickly established itself as one of Journey's signature songs while helping to spawn the "arena rock" genre.
"Don't Stop Believin'" hit a grand slam in 2005 when it became the unofficial theme song for the Chicago White Sox, World Series Champions. Journey frontman Steve Perry performed the song at the World Series Championship celebration in Chicago.
The song enjoyed a massive resurgence in popularity in June 2007 after serving as the soundtrack to the climactic final set-piece of HBO's hit mafia family television series, "The Sopranos." Download sales
of the song on iTunes rocketed an incredible 482% for the period from Saturday, June 9th (the night before "The Sopranos" finale) through Tuesday, June 12th, of that year, at which time Hillary Clinton also chose it as her presidential campaign theme song.

Facebook has complied with a Turkish court order that demanded the site to locally block access to several pages showing materials said to be insulting to the Prophet Muhammad.
According to Turkish media, the Gölbaşı Criminal Court of Peace in Ankara issued the order on Sunday, and it threatened to order a complete ban of the social network if Facebook did not comply. This same court has led previous bans or blocks of other sites, including YouTube and Twitter.
Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu recently appeared with a number of other world leaders in Paris at a rally for freedom of expression in the wake of the shooting at the offices of Charlie Hebdo, a French satirical magazine. But Amnesty International reported that earlier this month, a leading daily newspaper, Cumhuriyet, is facing a criminal investigation for reprinting some of the Charlie Hebdo cartoons.
Davutoglu told reporters in the Turkish capital earlier this month that freedom of expression "does not grant anybody the right to insult another's beliefs." He added, "In this country, we don't allow insults to the Prophet. This is a very clear, sharp and principled stance. Everybody should know this."
Ars reached out to Facebook for comment, but the site has not responded at the time of publication. We will update this report if we receive an official statement.

Can this test engine be setup in a way that if you miss a random test question that when you go back to review your questions you get the more info and instructor tip buttons so you can review at that point and not have to go to the other databases inorder to get further explanation of the answer.
Hi Rodney!
Yeah – we would love to do that with the random quizzes – but right now – now way to pull that off with our engine.
We will keep looking at alternatives, however.
I have a question regarding the real Core simulation given by cisco.
If a question is asked what protocol is not support by IPV6 with regards to frame-relay and your answer is INVERSE ARP Instead of INVERSE-ARP
will that question be marked incorrect on the exam or can the proctor look at your response and say your answer is correct even though your response did not match the answer key, I have missed questions on the R/S core sim because they did not match letter for letter with the answer key, will cisco do the same thing.
Hi Rodney!
In the lab exam, there is no computer grading of these questions, so you will be fine.
We have added the self-grade questions to the Simulation product to help with this issue, ad allow more flexibility in your responses.

As students entered Dr. Luke Pittaway's Introduction to Entrepreneurship class last Wednesday sporting backwards baseball caps, sweatshirts, and jeans, most people wouldn't guess that a venture capitalist was the class's guest speaker. David Pidwell, a two-time OHIO alumnus and partner at the investment firm Alloy Ventures, came to Campus to offer insight and critiques to student startup business ideas. "Having someone of David's stature engage with the students really makes the exercise tangible," said Pittaway. "Suddenly, they see the possibilities transfer from the classroom to the outside world. It's quite powerful."
If students were not impressed by his sale of multiple billion-dollar companies, Pidwell's first anecdote provided some perspective when he shared a favorite story about two former MBA students. They had participated in a similar startup project at Stanford, and went on to found a company based on the ideas generated in the project. The name of the company may be familiar—Google. "You never know," said Pidwell, "you could launch a "Google" and have great success."
Great success is what one of the teams is hoping for. Alex Bradfish ('15), Thad Dixon ('15), Kelly Biederman ('15), Brady Cummings ('15), and Dylan Maloni ('16) pitched their idea for a device that integrates home systems wirelessly by using Wi-Fi to turn on the shower, start the coffee, and other home tasks. "It's pretty sweet that [Pidwell] is here listening to our ideas," said Dixon, "he really guided us through the process to set up the product. He made us think through every part of our plan."
Mr. Pidwell holds a B.S. in electrical engineering ('69) and an M.S. in Industrial and Systems Engineering ('70) from Ohio University. He continued his education at Stanford University and remains an instructor in the Stanford MBA program. In addition to his responsibilities as an educator and investor, Mr. Pidwell is the Inaugural Entrepreneurial Fellow for Ohio University's Center for Entrepreneurship, and has founded several technology companies.

Daniel Chopra, after 14 years at sea, and a distinguished shipping career which saw him become the youngest Master Mariner with Peter Doehle, decided to start afresh with his own venture. With degrees in Maritime Law and Business Administration, he started Doehle Danautic in 2001 as Danautic Ship Management to offer Crew Management, Technical Management, Chartering and Ship Broking to third-party clients worldwide.
Today, the Company caters to a wide spectrum of services to 26+ principals worldwide. The services include Crew Management, Technical Management, Commercial Management, Chartering, Training & Development, NVOCC and Freight Forwarding. DDI arguably can be termed as the unsurpassed source of Crew Management and Technical Management services for Indian Flag vessels.
The dream of a young master mariner has led into an organization that has blossomed into one of the leading providers of shipping services around the world. In 2006, Danautic Ship Management merged with the Peter Doehle group and the company name changed to Doehle Danautic India Pvt. Ltd. Peter Doehle Group is one of the leading providers of shipping services around the world. The company has an existing global network of operations with offices in Russia, Philippines (Manila) and India (Mumbai, Delhi, Chandigarh, Gurgaon, Goa and Mundra).
In keeping with Daniel's vision, the Company never stops dreaming, touching upon excellence in spheres beyond shipping. Today, the Company doesn't set any limits because it believes that with change as the motivating factor, no limit is impossible, no dream is unattainable. Change is the supreme quotient that drives Doehle Danautic to look at possibilities, where very few dare to.
To transform these dreams into concrete reality needs perseverance and patience. At Doehle Danautic, we are not resting on our successes. We are expanding our present operations, both nationally and globally. Our aim is to grow into a diversified group that creates businesses for the future. Our focus is to going to be on building and establishing the Doehle Danautic brand as one that keeps transforming and invigorating itself in new directions.

I wonder if anyone else has an ear so tuned and sharpened as I have, to detect the music, not of the spheres, but of earth, subtleties of major and minor chord that the wind strikes upon the tree branches. Have you ever heard the earth breathe?
Have you ever heard the earth breath?
The bird that would soar above the level plain of tradition and prejudice must have strong wings. It is a sad spectacle to see the weaklings bruised, exhausted, fluttering back to earth.
The peace and beauty of a spring day had descended upon the earth like a benediction.
It is greater than the stars - that moving procession of human energy; greater than the palpitating earth and the things growing thereon.
A wedding is one of the most lamentable spectacles on earth.

Sit back, close your eyes and relax.
Now what comes to mind? If it's moving to a tropical location and being your own boss then this opportunity is for you.
A very successful hamburger joint located in the Stann Creek District of Belize is being offered for sale, and both the business and the building/land can be yours for the excellent price of $315,000 USD.
Sometimes you just don't want rice and beans.
Seating for ???, serving dozens of people daily, this is one of the most popular eateries in the entire area.
The restaurant is also licensed to serve liquor and hosts a live band at least once a week.
After 211 reviews on Tripadvisor, 143 have rated this restaurant as EXCELLENT.
Imagine just walking in and taking over this profitable business and not having to put in the sweat and tears yourself to get it to where it is now.
Does this sound like something you can get into? The business is busy, with a good profit margin, and operates only 5 days a week.
With occupancy space still available on the property you could also expand the business which will, in turn, bring in more revenue.
However, the current revenue is healthy and expansion not necessary. Included with the sale is a lot of 977 square yards, the building consisting of 2 floors, and a palapa covered deck at the back of the property.
All furnishings, appliances, dishes, coolers (there are exclusions), freezers, barbecues, silverware, pots, pans, linens are included.
As well, the current owner will provide 1 month of training to ensure the continued success of this well-established eatery, as well as being available afterwards on an as-needed consulting basis.
If all you are looking for is a business but not the land this option is also available.
This business would be yours for $195,000 USD, with the first 6 months rent free and the rent for the land is negotiable.
The $195,000 USD includes all buildings, all equipment.
(except for equipment provided by Bowen and Bowen and the pizza oven).
The business owner, you, would be responsible for water and electricity, as well as maintenance on all business owned items.
The landlord would be responsible for the property taxes.
The business and buildings would be yours, you rent the land.
This is a TURNKEY opportunity.
Financing may be an option. A balance sheet is provided for serious inquiries only.

Our Trees
"The definition of a conservationist is written not with a pen, but with an axe. It is a matter of what a man thinks about while chopping, or while deciding what to chop. A conservationist is one who is humbly aware that with each stroke he is writing his signature on the face of his land." — Aldo Leopold
Our relationships with tree care experts, municipalities, and foresters allow us to source trees from our own communities and small woodlots here in southern Wisconsin, and we specialize in producing wood with character.
Most of the thousands of trees removed in our cities each year are ground into mulch. Within that waste stream throughout the United States there is as much potential wood removed each year as is produced by all of our National Forests.
At Baraboo Woodworks we capture the potential value for beautiful wood and wood products from trees right here in our backyard. Our mission is to restore the connection between people and land by creating hand-crafted tables, specialty lumber, and heirloom quality custom furniture pieces that preserve the legacy of the place we call home.

From rising sea levels to protecting the Redwood City Port and saving the Bay, here are the top reasons why building housing on Cargill's salt ponds doesn't make sense.
1) Destroys Restorable Wetland Habitat. Scientists insist that the Bay needs 100,000 acres of healthy wetlands for the entire ecosystem to thrive. These salt ponds are one of the few remaining places that can be restored, providing much-needed habitat for endangered species and nursery grounds for young fish and birds. Read the 1999 SF Bay Habitat Goals Report's discussion about the importance of restoring these ponds.
2) Sea Level Rise. Sea levels are expected to rise more than four feet by 2050. In preparation, the State of California recommends not building in places like these salt ponds that would require new levees to avoid being under water. Instead, healthy wetlands provide natural flood control. The Nature Conservancy calls this debate "a wake-up call, highlighting the importance of nature in protecting people from the hazards of a changing climate." Read this excerpt from the State of California Climate Adaptation Strategy.
3) A Traffic Nightmare. Tens of thousands of new residents at Woodside Road and Highway 101, with no ready access to public transit in an already congested traffic area equals many tens of thousands of new daily car trips in the area. Read why this has Santa Mateo County transportation experts worried.
4) It is Not Smart Growth. Building a sprawling new city on restorable salt ponds out in the Bay is not smart growth. Redwood City has been working hard to fill vacant storefronts and encourage a "downtown renaissance." Meanwhile, there is no infrastructure on the salt ponds. Redwood City should meet local housing needs with downtown redevelopment. Read these reports from Association of Bay Area Governments and Greenbelt Alliance about the Bay Area's real smart growth future.
5) The Era of Filling the Bay is Over. The San Francisco Chronicle, San Jose Mercury News, over 150 Bay Area elected officials, business leaders, and many neighboring towns have formally opposed Cargill's irresponsible development, stating that Bay fill would be a major step back to the 1960s when developers were filling in San Francisco Bay at an alarming rate. Over the past 50 years, the Bay Area has turned a corner. Now is not the time to turn back.
6) Housing Behind a New Levee? It's Not Safe. This new sea-level community would be behind a massive levee that can't be guaranteed to survive the next earthquake. Bay fill is one of the least safe places to build housing. Unstable soil is prone to liquefaction during a major earthquake. Read more in this Op-Ed from a retired FEMA official.
7) It Threatens Jobs at Redwood City's Port. Encroaching residential development is the biggest threat to the future of the Port of Redwood City, the only deep-water port in the South Bay. The port is an economic engine for the city, a crucial bulk cargo point of entry for Northern California, and it provides hundreds of jobs. Read one industry official's Op-Ed on why building homes and schools next to a 24-hour industrial site doesn't make sense.
8) There's No Water. Cargill/DMB initially suggested pumping brackish groundwater from under the salt ponds, then proposed a convoluted and controversial scheme to transfer private water from Kern County. It was quickly opposed, including by state legislators and Bay Area water districts. The developers then began looking into building a new desalination plant. The bottom line: there's no water for this project.

Jackpot will be the second highest in history of the game.
The Powerball jackpot for Wednesday's drawing is an estimated $650 million, which is the second largest in the game's history. In addition to the jackpot, players have the opportunity to win a variety of lower-tier prizes ranging from $4 to $2 million by matching any of the non-jackpot-winning combinations.
"Last week the Florida Lottery reached another epic milestone of $32 billion in total contributions to education," said Florida Lottery Secretary Jim Poppell. "Powerball jackpots like this one are an exciting way for Floridians to have a chance to win a life-changing prize while also helping to benefit Florida's students and schools."
While there was no jackpot winner in Saturday night's drawing, Florida Powerball players still won big, with more than 388,000 winning tickets totaling more than $5.1 million in prizes, including two $1 million winners in Ocoee and Orlando. During this jackpot series, more than 1.8 million Florida players have won more than $18.4 million in prizes.
Jackpot prizes are paid in 30 annual installments or as a one-time, lump-sum payment. Winners have 180 days from the applicable drawing to claim their prize. To receive the cash option of an estimated $340.1 million, jackpot prizes must be claimed within 60 days of the drawing.
The integrity of all games is of utmost importance to the Florida Lottery. Players are encouraged to sign the back of their ticket at the time of purchase and keep them in a safe place. Players are reminded to check their tickets carefully; even if they don't win the jackpot they can still win cash prizes of up to $2 million.
Wednesday night's Powerball drawing will be held at 9:59 p.m. CT. Tickets must be purchased by 9 p.m. CT to be eligible for this drawing.
The largest Powerball jackpot in history was the world record-setting $1.586 billion jackpot in January 2016.

Appointed the Best Singer of the Emissoras Associadas in all Brazil in 1972, Orlando Corrêa, a singer since he was 19, was performing in circuses and gafieiras (dancehouses) when he was discovered by Ciro Monteiro in 1947. Monteiro took him to Rádio Mayrink Veiga (Rio), where he signed a one-year contract, having being allotted to the Casé show. In that period he went to Northeastearn Brazil for a series of shows together with Elizete Cardoso and Ataulfo Alves e Seu Estado Maior do Samba. He also worked at the Rádio Guanabara, and in the late 1949 he recorded his first album, with no response. Having moved in 1951 to Rádio Clube do Brasil, in the same year he went to Rádio Tupi, where he had success for 28 uninterrupted years. His second album was launched with songs for the Carnaval of 1951, "Minha Mão À Palmatória" (written by Antônio de Almeida and Ruy de Almeida), and "Tourada Sem Espada" (Afonso Teixeira/Jorge de Castro), also without success. But with his third album, he hit it big, with "Meu Sonho É Você" (Altamiro Carrilho/Átila Nunes). Corrêa also performed regularly in the best dancehouses of Rio, where the singers could make better money than in radio: Eldorado, Samba Dancing, Farolito, Blue Star, Belas Artes, Brasil Dancing, and Avenida. At the same time, he traveled constantly to perform on the other stations of the national radio network which owned Rádio Tupi, the Emissoras Associadas. With the arrival of television, brought by the Emissoras' owner Assis Chautebriand, he became also a TV star. In 1954, Corrêa toured with Carioca e Sua Orquestra to Uruguay, with Araci Costa, and with Ernani Filho. From 1965 to 1975, his live show, Audição Orlando Corrêa, led the prime time on several occasions.
