BILLINGS, MONTANTA -- Four years ago I purchased a very high end Frigidaire washer and dryer (don't even remember the model now) I had this set less than 2 years before the dryer went out. I had purchased an extended warranty on the set and because the dryer could not be fixed I was sent a gift card in the amount of the original dryer, but only good on Frigidaire products. Within six months the washer had severe problems too. Once again I was sent a gift card for the price of the original washer. I used the gift cards to purchase a brand new washer dryer set. Because the gift cards were only for the purchase of a new Frigidaire set I purchased a new Frigidaire set. I also purchased an extended warranty.
The day after the extended warranty ran out the dryer began to have problems. First I replaced the heating element, than the belt, than the drum guide. Then one day I turned it on and it smoked and screeched, the drum fell off, tore all the wires off from inside and even tore metal. Destroyed all the clothing inside the dryer. This stupid dryer started a fire in my laundry room because it shorted out when it tore all the wires. The dryer was a major fire hazard.
When I contacted Frigidaire to let them know I was a very displeased customer. I was told to send them pictures of the dryer damage, copies of the invoices of repairs I had done and they would take care of the problem. I even sent them a letter from the fire marshal that stated that the minor fire the dryer started was caused by a manufacturer defect in the product. They led me to believe they would replace/repair the dryer because the damage occurred within one week of the warranty ending.
After getting everything they sent me a nice long letter informing me that because the warranty had expired it was obviously my fault that the dryer had problems and if I would have properly maintained the product this would not have happened. Since when does one of the major companies that sells appliances have appliances that don't even last two years? It's not like I have a thousand dollars to fork out every two years on a new washer and dryer. Now the washer's warranty is coming up. Think I'm going to cut my losses now and go buy a new washer dryer set and believe me it won't be Frigidaire.
BROOKLYN, NEW YORK -- There is a fault in the machine where the lint box does not reach up to and around the machine to catch all the lint. I can see the 1/2" to 1" space when you pull the lint trap out. Dependable repair (approved repair by Frigidaire) confirmed this problem and tried caulking and high heat glue which did not work... it's melting. I also tried electrical tape which keeps on coming off from the heat. Frigidaire said it won't replace it cause it is out of warranty. So I have a defective dryer that the lint is escaping to the bottom of the machine and blowing out the back into my home!
I am contacting you on behalf of Electrolux Major Appliances in relation to your posting on www.my3cents.com. I would like to apologize for the difficulty you have had with your appliance. I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss this issue with you so that I can personally look into this matter. In order to do so, please send me your contact information, and the best time to contact you. I would also need your model and serial number and a file number if available, so that I can research this matter. Again I regret your disappointment with your appliance and look forward to resolving this issue with you.

MASSILLON, OHIO -- I bought the Frigidaire Front Load Washer and Dryer 4 years ago new. We have had nothing but problems with them. The washer door has to be kept open at all times or the smell is unbearable, the water does not drain right, and the machine tears small holes in clothing. The dryer is another nightmare. There is an $80.00 part that we have to replace every six months or less due to the fact that the rubber separates from the drum and the clothing gets caught in it and rips the clothing so it is unwearable.
I will NEVER buy another Frigidaire product. These appliances are junk and I would LOVE to just throw them down the street and watch them fall apart. Now I need to go purchase another washer and dryer because I cannot have these machines ruining good clothing anymore!! RIDICULOUS!!
WOW I sure wish I had read all these bad reviews before I wasted $1500 on my P.O.S washer & dryer. After about a month the dryer started to get the clothes hung up inside the drum, at first I thought that may be that load was too big, but it does it on small loads also. So after lots of tore up clothes, & a stack of about 300 or more pictures to prove it, I called & told them "I believe you have a faulty design"!!! RECALL IT! They had someone come out & service it, replaced EVERYTHING inside the dryer (even the drum itself), that did nothing. So they replaced it for me twice.
The funny thing about it, when I went to get it replaced, they said the reason was for a knocking noise, not even the real problem. That's messed up! When I talked to customer service AGAIN and told them that I'm not happy at all, they said they would give me 60% off any of their other products (wow what a deal! NOT!!). I told him to stick his 60% you know where & that I would never buy another one of their products again.
The fact is they really don't care. They got my money, that's all that matters to them, not the fact that I have five kids, laundry all the time, and now a bunch of tore up clothes. The washer is not as bad, but I don't think it really gets the clothes that clean. What a waste! They suck, don't buy it.
Since we bought this dryer as an energy efficient pair we have had numerous problems. The first is we cannot get the clothes to come out of the dryer without wrinkles, a lot of wrinkles. Second, within a couple of drying cycles my clothes would end up twisting into a tight ball, enough to tear the straps from some jeans. Third, the lint trap plastic is shaped in such a way that things get caught on it. We have had to replace the trap already. This dryer is 10 months old and the worst investment we have made. Any advice from anyone?
I've spent a fortune on what should be an efficient pair of front load machines. To my misfortune I spent a whole lot of money on something that wasn't worth it. My new washer leaves my clothes smelling like wet dog. I've tried the tablets they recommend for front load machines... waste of money, water and time. It didn't work. The softener compartment doesn't drain even when filled only to minimum. My dryer sometimes leaves my clothes just a bit damp and if put in again gets over dried. I've gone through all the troubleshooting and still no solution.
I recommend that everyone considering a Frigidaire appliance don't think about and find a better brand. If anyone out there has a solution for my washing problems, please let me know.
PFLUGERVILLE, TEXAS -- I bought a Frigedaire front loading dryer on 08/18/06 and had to have it fixed already. Well last night the dryer caught fire. Had repair come out and look at it to see why it caught on fire. It started on the dryer motor and cause was lint. He told me that even if I clean the lint vent regularly the lint goes through and into the dryer where the motor is. So after a while with enough lint it will caught on fire. Thank God the fireman put it out and it was in a time when we were still awake. It could have burned my home down and caused injury or death to my family.
I purchased a nice Frigidaire frontload washer and dryer set no problems with washer but dryer is a big problem at three years old. The board went out when the repairman ordered the new board. It arrived, he took it out of a sealed box new and it was bad. He ordered a second one, it arrived 10 days later, again it was bad right out of the box. The third one actually worked when we finally got it. Now three months later my dryer quit again. I called a different repairman he said it was the board again. My last repair bill was 263.00 and it seems they are having a big problem with the board I would rather put my money on a different dryer.
My name is ** and in October 2005 I purchased a refrigerator, stove, dishwasher, microwave, washer and dryer from Nebraska Furniture Mart in Kansas. These appliances are less than 2 years old and I have already experienced problems with all of them but the washer. I could not afford, nor think I would need, the extended warranties (especially within 2 years) and did not purchase them. Nor can I afford the prices that are charged to replace the parts and the rip off service calls.
I know of many people, including my parents, who have had the same appliances for 10-20 years and do not understand the apparent lack of concern you have for your customers. Needless to say I am disgusted with your products and your retailers and will never purchase another Frigidaire product. Furthermore I will use whatever media at my disposal to advise the public of the inferior products that you produce. I am also contacting the Better Business Bureau and Attorneys General in both Missouri and Georgia. I am sick of being ripped off by major companies trying to get rich.
I am contacting you on behalf of Electrolux Major Appliances in relation to your posting on www.my3cents.com. I would like to apologize for the difficulty you have had with your appliance. I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss this issue with you so that I can personally look into this matter.

This product had problems from the day we received it. The agitator in the washer twists and pulls clothing causing damage. The worst is, the dryer which makes loud horrible squealing noises. I do believe this is a poorly made product that is far below industry standards. As a realtor selling condos I would never advise customers to purchase Frigidaire products.

The Wireless Telecommunications Bureau is leading several important initiatives and proceedings, a few of which are highlighted below.
The FCC has established rules to ensure that people with hearing aids and cochlear implants are able to able to use a wide selection of mobile wireless handsets without experiencing interference (Docket No. 07-250). Each year, mobile wireless service providers and handset manufacturers provide the Commission with information regarding the hearing aid compatibility of devices they offer.
The FCC is gathering information on the speeds, performance, and coverage of mobile broadband network.
The FCC has proposed the creation of a fund, as part of its reform of the Universal Service program, that would provide support for improving the coverage of 3G and 4G mobile wireless networks in areas of the country where 3G networks are currently unavailable (Docket No. 10-208).
The FCC seeks to promote competition in the mobile wireless industry for the benefit of consumers through various policies, including its review of wireless mergers and spectrum license transactions, as well as through its annual report and assessment of mobile wireless competition.
Roaming for Mobile Wireless Services
The FCC recognizes that it is important for mobile consumers to have coverage whereever they may go. The FCC has taken steps to ensure that mobile wireless customers can roam and automatically receive service from another provider's network when they are outside of the area covered by their provider's network.
The FCC is working to facilitate the development and deployment of well-designed signal boosters, which are part of the solution to address coverage gaps (Docket No. 10-4).
Spectrum for Mobile Wireless Services
The FCC is taking steps to make more spectrum available for mobile wireless services and ensure that existing spectrum bands are being used efficiently. The National Broadband Plan recommended making available an additional 500 MHz of spectrum for wireless broadband.
The FCC has launched various initiatives related to texting or text messaging. In particular, the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau has sought comment on a petition related to the regulatory classification of text messaging services (Docket No. 08-7).
In order to protect critical public safety communications and wireless broadband services, FCC rules prohibit the use of wireless microphones or similar devices in the 700 MHz Band after June 12, 2010. The 700 MHz Band - between 698 MHz and 806 MHz - is now reserved for use only by public safety groups, such as police, fire and emergency services, and commercial providers of wireless broadband services. Wireless microphone use on tv channels outside of the 700 MHz Band may continue.

Invasive Species Violations Dropped In Minnesota
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The rate of aquatic invasive species violations dropped in Minnesota in 2013.
According to the Department of Natural Resources' annual report, the violation rate dropped to 20 percent last year, compared to 31 percent in 2012.
The rate is the proportion of people who were issued citations at roadside check stations set up by conservation officers.
Lt. Col. Rodmen Smith, the DNR Enforcement Division assistant director, says the decrease is good but one in five boaters is still breaking the law. This year, the DNR will increase enforcement of aquatic invasive species laws.
The report also says DNR officials who look at boats and equipment at water accesses conducted 123,000 inspections, which was an increase of nearly 62 percent since 2011.

Icy Lake Superior Means Slow Shipping Season Start
DULUTH (AP) — This year's shipping season is getting off to a slow start due to record levels of ice on the Great Lakes after an extremely cold winter.
Some ice on Lake Superior is still several feet thick, and ice breakers are working to carve paths for ships.
Jim Sharrow with the Duluth Seaway Port Authority says even with the help, several fleets have delayed their first sailing until early April.
While the ice is good business for civilians who operate ice breaking tugs, Lake Carriers' Association Vice President Glen Nekvasil says that it's bad for the shipping industry.
Nekvasil says heavy ice has prevented some cargo from being delivered and delayed some trips by several days. The iron ore trade was down 35 percent in January.

The Phillies have acquired utility man Ty Wigginton from the Colorado Rockies for a player to be named later or cash.
The acquisition also seemingly means the Phillies have opted not to further pursue free agent Michael Cuddyer.
Wigginton, 34, hit .242 with 15 home runs and 47 RBI last season.
His versatility is what likely made him attractive to the Phillies. He played first base, third base and the corner outfield positions last year.
With the potential question about how quickly Ryan Howard recovers from his Achilles injury and Placido Polanco's injury history, he could provide insurance in the infield. He also could be an option in left, although that seems less likely. He has played a total of 75 games in the outfield in his 10-year career.
He also could provide the Phillies another bat off the bench. He has a career .273 average as a pinch-hitter.
Wigginton is due to make $4 million in 2012, with a $4 million option or $500,00 buyout for 2013. According to the Denver Post, the Rockies will cover half of Wigginton's 2012 salary.
According to the Post, if the Phillies exercise Wigginton's option, the Rockies will receive either $100,000 in cash or a player. If they don't excercise the option, the Rockies will be have to pay part of Wigginton's buyout.
For his career, he has a .265 average with 158 home runs and 548 RBI. He has played for the Mets, Pirates, Rays, Astros, Orioles and Rockies.
The Phillies are likely still on the lookout for a lefthanded bat who could play the outfield.

An appropriate adjective to describe Charles Langley--or at least Charles Langley's former self--would be "distinguished," or, at the very least, "respectable." A wife, three kids, two cars, two cats, a large loft and a job as the night news editor of the Evening Standard, an eminent London newspaper: all the makings of a modern happily ever after.
But today, sitting across from Langley at the newly reopened Blue Dragon Coffeehouse, my eyes flitting between the diamond in his left ear and the turquoise on his wrist, listening to his tales of skinwalkers, parallel universes and the spirits of deceased snakes, I imagine people would probably choose other words to describe this displaced Englishman. But one word Langley won't accept is "mystic."
Langley calls himself a "man of science," which is why it's so baffling to him that for the past three-plus years he's found himself in the near-exclusive company of Navajo medicine men, observing phenomena he would have previously referred to as "New Age." But when the kids moved out and the divorce was final, Langley found himself suddenly able to escape a lifestyle he had come to find breathless.
It started with a drive across the U.S. ("Don't ask me why; I just thought it was a good idea.") and ended with Langley abandoning his London life to work as an assistant to a medicine man he refers to as Blue Horse. Blue Horse is a primary character in a book Langley wrote about his experiences, due to hit shelves in May. Meeting the Medicine Men: An Englishman's Travels Among the Navajo is the first of a series of books Langley plans to write on this culture that's little understood to those outside of it. Langley's thrown by what he's seen and experienced during his time on the Navajo reservation, and he's looking for an outlet to share what he now knows, or at least is coming to find out.
Now splitting his time between working with the medicine men and going to school to earn a degree in anthropology at UNM, Langley settles into his seat. He sips his coffee slowly between excited monologues, recounting the adventures that led him to this cerebral rebirth. The story winds through a storm in Louisiana that forced him out of the rain and into Madame Cecelia's Bed and Breakfast ("except there was never any breakfast").
One day at Madame Cecelia's, while searching for nonexistent rations, Langley opened a cupboard. Instead of food, a confusion of plastic plates and bolts of cloth spilled onto the floor. Unable to stuff them back inside the cupboard, Langley apologized to Madame Cecelia for the mess.
"Oh," she said. "That's for the Indians."
What Indians?
Some guy in the area, don't ask me why, had gotten it into his head to bring some Navajo code talkers out for their Mardi Gras two years earlier. And they stood on this float, going through the streets. And local people had apparently gotten all these gifts, and they had left before they had the chance to give them to them.
How bizarre.
So if you look at Route 66, it goes right past Window Rock, [Ariz.], which is a place I've always wanted to go. And [Madame Cecelia] said, "Oh, the Navajos, they live at Window Rock." And I said, "I'm going to Window Rock." So I said I'd bring it to them.
So I go to Window Rock, and I had no idea about the [Navajo] reservation. It's the size of Ireland. I thought I'd just stop the first person on the street, you know, and ask, do you know these people? (laughs)
It turned out that the evening I arrived was the one day of the year all of the code talkers were at Window Rock because they have a big parade for them, and six out of the seven were actually there. And this guy comes up to me and is like, "I've never seen no white man like you before." This guy was a medicine man.
Did you know he was a medicine man at the time?
I soon found out. And to cut it all very short, I met more through him. And he said, well, we think you're one of us--you may not know this, but you're one of us, and we think you ought to come learn more about it. That's essentially how it began. That's a truncated version.
Is that when you started studying with them?
Soon after. I met the guy who I based Blue Horse on at a medicine ritual. He said I could come along, be his assistant.
You see, the medicine men don't teach anything. Indians don't do that. You observe and you have the opportunity to learn if you wish to do so, but they're not going to teach you anything. They'll explain things if I ask ...
But there are no lessons.
Not lessons on How to Be a Medicine Man 101 or anything like that; you just tag along. They do a lot of divination in the fire; they look into the fire and they see things. And I see pretty well for an Indian, I tell you what, but I don't really understand what I'm seeing. Because I'm not Indian, I'm not actually understanding a lot of it. It's pretty extraordinary stuff. I've seen people cured ...
"Cured" is a strange word to use; I mean, even modern medicine doesn't use the word "cure." But I've seen people recover, and I have no real idea how they do it.
Recover from what kinds of things?
This is where you start running into a serious problem from a scientific point of view. There are a couple of examples in the book that are just ... atypical. I mean, they're just stunning.
There was this woman who had been having trouble for some time. I don't know if you know this, but the Navajos believe in witchcraft; they attribute a lot of things that happen to them--bad luck, car crashes, getting sick--to being bewitched by somebody's curse. Now this particular family was having a bit of trouble in that way. So they called a medicine man. Now I've been working with this guy for, what, 18 months at least? He looked [in the divination fire] and he said, "When your husband died 10 years ago, you buried him in a bracelet."
"I thought, the next time it knocks, I'm going to throw this door and I'm going to smack it in the face."
It's called a protection bracelet. And she said, "Yeah, my husband didn't really believe in our traditional ways, but he wore this protection bracelet for me." And he said, "Well, shortly after he was buried, the witches dug him up, and they took the bracelet, and they're using it to curse you." And he said, "They're trying to finish you off this time." And he's a very powerful medicine man. He said, "They're now using the bead to curse you. I'm going to come tomorrow to your house, and I'm going to find that curse, and I'm going to lift that curse off you forever." He said, "I'll bring the bead to you, and you'll recognize it."
What was your reaction to that?
I'd never heard him say something like that. And I thought, if he doesn't pull this off, what are we going to do, you know? He's sunk as a medicine man if he doesn't pull this one off. So I spent the night pretty restless. I mean, I'd never seen him not pull anything off before, but this one really worried me because he was so precise. In fact, I nearly said to him: You know, if you don't think you can do this, tell me now, and I'll try to find a way out of it.
So we went to the house, and he looked into the fire, and he said, "The witch man is cursing you, and he knows I'm here; he's looking into his fire and he can see me. He's coming after you real quick."
We went outside the house, and he's looking, and he says, "It's there." I was going to dig it up, because he has a bad back. And as I'm going to, this truck's coming toward us, and he said, "It's the witch man." They knew who he was. And this truck rolls ahead about 80 yards away. And Blue Horse is going, "Ah, he can't hurt us, I've got my whistle in my pocket." And I was just about panicking.
So I stuck the spade in and started digging. I took the spade out, and there was this curse. Now, Navajo curses are actually physical objects. We unwrapped it, and there was the bracelet, and there was was the bead. And we took it in, and we showed her the bead. And she said, "Yeah, that's the bead I buried my husband in." They went out again, and I was left with the widow. So I took the opportunity to say to her, "Are you sure that was the bead?" She said, "There's no question about it."
And what happened afterward?
Well, we haven't heard from them since, so I guess things are going well.
What was happening beforehand with the family?
Things were just going really badly for them. I mean, it's not like there's one thing, more like a series of things--people get ill, money drains out, people lose their jobs, you know. Eventually a Navajo family will say, this isn't right; this isn't just bad luck, this is something else. And they'll call a medicine man. Whereas sometimes we go there and the medicine man says, this is just a run of bad luck. We'll just do a blessing for you and everything will be fine.
What's the other example?
There's this other one that was amazing. We went to this place; this guy's wife is a nurse for a hospital in Farmington, right? It's actually a very good amalgam of an ancient/
And Blue Horse says, "Did you ever kill a snake?" I could see the snake in the fire--there was a kind of track of life in the fire. He said, "No, I've never killed a snake." He said, "Are you sure?" "Oh no, I never killed a snake." "When you were about 14, you got mad at a snake and killed it." And the guy says, "Oh, yeah, I wanted to go play with the other boys, and my dad wanted me to go sweep out the paddock. And I kicked over some boxes and there was a snake under one, and I got a hoe in my hand, so I just chopped his head off because I was mad."
"When guys like this come up with the idea that there are actually infinite Blue Dragon [Coffeehouses] in infinite universes, isn't that weirder than a Navajo medicine man who can talk to the spirit of a dead snake?"
And Blue Horse said, "Well, the snake's spirit's mad at you now, and it's in your neck now, and it's hurting you like you hurt it. What I've done is I've asked the Great Spirit to intervene with the snake spirit. I can't ask the snake spirit because I don't know it, but the Great Spirit knows everybody. So I've asked him to say to the snake, you know, look, the man was only a boy, he didn't know what he was doing. He's sorry now, I'd like you to forgive him and leave him alone. And it takes four days for these things to reach the spirit world."
So a few days later this guy says, "Hey, my neck's better."
Do you know much about quantum physics?
I know some.
What a lot of hard-core, hard-line physicists are talking about is multiple universes, multiple dimensions of time ... all these guys are saying, look, it's likely there's multiple universes, and it's quite possible they all actually impact each other. It will be possible to go in time machines and go from one universe to another. I mean, these guys don't take prisoners when it comes to science; they have got bazillions of calculations behind them.
You know, when guys like this come up with the idea that there are actually infinite Blue Dragon [Coffeehouses] in infinite universes, and all our conversations are having infinitely different outcomes, isn't that weirder than a Navajo medicine man who can talk to the spirit of a dead snake?
When was the moment for you when you started believing?
I was very, very reluctant. With all my Western educational background, I do not believe in magic. I do not believe in mystic forces. And I still believe now that whatever the Navajos are doing is not magic. Somehow these guys may be tapping into some scientific effect which we cannot at the moment explain.
I mean, we don't have to go back very far--gravity. If that apple hadn't fallen on Isaac Newton's head, we'd probably still be wondering how we all sit still. I mean, there are things you can't see, but that doesn't mean they aren't there. Relativity is relativity. It's for real, no matter how unreal it may seem.
So I had a lot of issues with it. I really kept, for a long time, clinging to the idea that it was all mind tricks. I don't mean tricks in the way of fooling people, but kind of benign tricks, like every professional has their tricks. Doctors have their tricks.
But I think, actually, it was the moment he found the bead; I think that was the one when I thought, I don't know what the hell's going on around here, but this is not a trick.
The only way I can approach this is from a scientific manner. I believe that one day somebody—far cleverer than me, I have no doubt—will be able to figure out just what these guys are tapping into. They're definitely, I think, tapping into some rule of nature.
Electricity is still a very mysterious force, and it's not that long ago that, I forgot who ... one of the early scientists went to The Royal Society in London and had a glass jar with a sheepskin in it and a handle, and he'd put the lights out, whirl it round, and it was static electricity, but he'd say, look, gentlemen, I don't know what this is, but whatever it is, it's definitely there.
I'm in much the same position. I do not know what this is, but it's definitely there.
Who are the witch doctors going around cursing people, and why do they curse them? It's so preconceived.
This is where it gets a little bit scary, because a lot of these guys are, on the face of it, good medicine men. But they've sold out to the bad side. And people will offer them pretty large sums of money to go and curse somebody. And, in fact, some of the guys I've worked with said people have offered them thousands of dollars to do harm to people, and they won't do it.
Do you know what a skinwalker is?
I know that term is scary, but I'm not really familiar ...
A skinwalker is a kind of bad medicine man that actually ritually turns himself into an animal to get around. And I've had a couple of brushes with skinwalkers. You see, as a white man, I'm kind of protected against bad medicine. But as I've gotten further into it, I've kind of lost a lot of that protection, and there was a definite attempt to get me. Not that long ago, they sent a skinwalker after me. It was pretty scary.
What happened?
I upset a couple of medicine men. Now, how I upset them, I don't know. I didn't set out to upset them, but somehow I did. I was living in Farmington at the time. [In the middle of the night], this thing just started banging on my door. And this wasn't knocking (knocks on the table). It was Bam! Bam! Bam! And at first I thought, oh, this is my neighbor, knocking on his door. And then I thought, naw. I mean, he wasn't a noisy neighbor or anything like that.
So it would bang a few times and then it would stop. And it was regular. So I got out of bed, and I quietly walked down to the door, and I thought, the next time it knocks, I'm going to throw this door and I'm going to smack it in the face. So I stood there. And stood there. And stood there. And it didn't knock. So I went back to bed. Bang! Bang! Bang! And, you know, this was regular. There would be the same space of time, then Bang! Bang! Bang! And, again, this was not gentle. So I got out of bed, I crept to the door ... nothing. I went back to bed. Bang! Bang! Bang!
What really spooked me was the next morning when I went to the door, the screen door was closed and locked. So how'd he bang on the door through the screen? But that's what they do—I've heard it time and again.
And it came back the next night, but not so much. Because I wasn't scared of it. The Navajos tell me if I was scared of it, I just would have given it more power. And I regret now I didn't open the door and go jump out after it. They tell you that's what you shouldn't do. Although I have known a Navajo lady who's gone after a skinwalker.
What was that situation?
She said she ran out after it--a big owl that looked nothing like an owl; it was much bigger than it was supposed to be. And it flew off, very awkwardly. And as it flew away, she shouted after it, "No return message for you, then?"
When did you feel like this sort of alternate world started to open up to you?
[There was this one case some medicine men] were trying to explain to me in very scientific terms. And we're sitting in this truck stop café, and it was like the floor had been peeled back, and suddenly I was looking down into a completely different universe. All the stars were different ... everything. It was like the Navajo universe I was actually looking at, and it looked like nothing like I'd ever seen or was used to.
"Somehow these guys may be tapping into some scientific effect which we cannot at the moment explain."
In that moment I suddenly became cognizant of the world these guys were living in. I mean, they speak English, they drive trucks, they watch TV, they use mobile phones, but actually, that's just the surface. Once you get under that, it's not just a different world, it's a different universe--and to me, utterly strange and unreal. And I was just kind of floating, waiting for these guys to guide me. And in that moment, I think, I realized that what I was getting into wasn't just something a bit different. It was a completely different universe.
I'm just trying to explain to you how it felt. It wasn't like the floor actually did come back. I just realized, I think, really for the first time, that this was not just something on the surface; this goes as deep as time. Because these guys' medicine goes back basically to the Ice Age. I mean, in England, you've got waves and waves of successive invaders and influences coming in. But these guys, their history goes back in a straight line at least to the last Ice Age.
What did your friends and family say when you did this?
Well, you've got to remember that I never set out to do this, so it's not like I woke up one day and said, hey, folks, I'm going off to the Navajos to become a medicine man.
I don't know—I've always been sort of a square peg. I wrote about 120 episodes of the worst TV soap in English television history, which was not my fault, that it was the worst, but it was. I've always been floating around doing other things.
But they all thought that probably I'd be better off doing something else. My mother absolutely hated it. You know, screaming at me, "Go get a job! Stop all this running around with all these Indians!" My kids are quite enthusiastic about it. But they're all grown up.
Before you ventured into this new life, did you hold many religious or spiritual beliefs? You refer to yourself as a man of science. Do you see conflict between those two things?
I don't see conflict at all. I can't claim to have been a deeply religious man or anything like that. But having said that, I do feel respectful toward it.
It seems like there are these two worlds that collide in certain ways. How do you reconcile those?
It's very difficult, actually. I mean, when I first started, it wasn't very difficult because I didn't really appreciate the sort of vast oceans of time and difference between the Indian world and our own. And I thought I could just go from one to the other very easily. But now it's getting a lot more difficult.
I've talked to a lady who works as a real estate agent. And she was telling me how difficult it is. You know, she gets up in the morning, she's an Indian. She does all the Indian things, gets her kids to school. Then she gets in her car, drives into Albuquerque, and she's a real estate agent. And then in the evening she goes back and reverses the whole process. And I'm beginning to understand how that splits her, because more and more I want to be there, but I've got term papers to write, got exams to take, got lectures to go to. But plenty of times, not only do I want to be there, I'm needed there. These guys need me, but I can't actually get out and go there.
I've had Indians say to me, "Sometime, you have to make a decision: Either you're going to be an Indian, or you're going to be a white man, and we decided to be Indians. And so we're not so well off here, but we're comfortable living here—we speak our own language, we have our ceremonies, and now I go to the white man's world to do the shopping at Wal-Mart. And that's fine; and then I come back."
I'm beginning to get that pull. And it's an uncomfortable feeling. So I don't reconcile the two—it may not even be reconcilable. Cause the fact is, in a way, I'm in a worse position than most Indians—I can't decide whether I'm going to be an Indian or not. I'm never gonna be a Navajo.
So I don't have that choice. I can't decide to be an Indian and live on the reservation. All I can do is live in Albuquerque wishing I was.
What do you hope readers take away from your book?
I think if they read my book and say, that was interesting, I want to know more, that's about the sum of my ambitions. I don't think you can hope for anything but that.
I want to ask how this experience has changed you—but it seems like it's changed everything.
Yeah, totally. And it's still going on. I'm now at the stage where I know enough that I can actually start learning something. I used to run. And a lot of people don't understand that to train an athlete, basically, you have to train for a year until you can start to train seriously. It's kind of like that. It's taken me this long to accumulate enough knowledge to actually understand what I'm seeing. And even then, I'm pretty damn sure a lot of it's going right over my head. It's happening in front of me, but I don't get it.
What was the experience like of getting this book published?
I'm amazed this was really published at all. I mean, they're marketing it as a kind of travel book, because they don't know what to do with it. The publisher usually publishes books by professors.
They sent me this form to fill out, and it was for academics. It starts off with things like, "From which university did you get your PhD? If you have more than one, please list them." And I got thrown out of school when I was 16. So I'm just going through this form going, "not applicable ... N/A ... ." Then I get to, "What is the purpose of your book, and what social changes is it attempting to address?" No one's looking, so I wrote, "Make lots of money so I can spend it all on drugs." Then, "How many Nobel Prizes have you won?" "N/A."
I was going to change it, right? But I got distracted. And two days later I get this slightly pained phone call from the publishers in Boston: "Charles, I'm a little worried about one of your answers." "Oh, really? Which one?"
I got myself in trouble for being an anarchist at 16. Now I'm 57 and I'm still getting myself in trouble for the same reason.

I'm really looking for some software like Kazaa Lite for Linux. I tried LimeWire but it really is to slow. Can
anyone recommend any P2P software for linux?
Good Grief
You can run kazaa lite under linux, you just need to install it under wine, which is a windows emulator for linux, which you can get here http://www.winehq.com
you would install it like you would a .tgz, gz, or any other compressed package, im sure you can find installation instructions if you need help on the site.kazaa lite actually doesnt run too bad under linux just keep in mind that alot of progs that kazaa lite offers are for windoze, so youll need to port games that you may download and such.edonkey is good for movies and such, but im not sure if its supported under linux and if it is im not thinkin it would run to good.and I say that due to how many probs I had with it under XP, its just full of spyware and other useless crap.
Don\'t be a bitch! Use Slackware.
I don't mean to wine but I'm not into running windows apps under linux.
check that out, Im sure you can find something to suit your needs
You can use lmule. This is a linux port of emule, a free win32 p2p which work with the edonkey network.
try lopster, its installed with Suse Linux and seems to be pretty good, also search threw AO, this has been covered before and so theres prolly some better ones listed somehwere else, also try sourceforge, look for p2p on there, they have alot of things for Linux including p2p i think, if nto look up lopster.
I did a quick search online and found Lopster.
you were right about checking sourceforge and it does seem to be a decent program, ill have to check it out later on, also if anyone is looking for Linux tools sourceforge is a great site so check it out
You can run MLDonkey on linux, Mac OS X and Freebsd.
MLDonkey uses the Donkey and Overnet networks. If you compile MLDonkey from the source you can add a couple of other networks.
Oliver's Law:
Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
I use giFT !!
With it's thexy giFTcurs frontend !!
ASCII stupid question, get a stupid ANSI.
When in Russia, pet a PETSCII.

btw osTicket has a better FAQ/KB system just recently and there are plans to improve it further in the future.
Check out my chat server and client apis:Live chat from website plug would be huge. That is the only functionality that OS doesn't have at the moment that I really see a huge benefit. Customer puts in email and name and can start chat. From there you have premade chat replies, the ability to create tickets with the supplied information etc. That would also be a great NEW revenue stream for OSticket to offer in their service portfolio.
I released a mod for 1.6 with ticket linking and categorization. I swear I will eventually find some time and port it as a plugin now that the eco system in here.Below a list of what I absolutely find mandatory for a ticket system and not available on osTicket: - Ticket Linking or merging - Ticket Status customization - Tracking time tool What can be improved: - Data export - Statistics (not enough in current osTicket) - osTicket Customization improvement And what is not mandatory to live but can be a pleasure to have: - Chatter functionality
Hello, I am new here...and would like to ask you some questions about ticket status customization. Do you think that this is possible by doing some modification on php file (Exple: if we want to add dept, help topic, etc...on the ticket status list)?
Thanks a lot for your feedback.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Joe Flacco threw three touchdown passes in just over 10 minutes and the Baltimore Ravens led the New England Patriots 28-13 in the fourth quarter of the AFC championship game Sunday.
Flacco connected with Anquan Bolden for two TDs in the first four minutes of the fourth quarter — a 3-yarder and an 11-yarder — after hitting Dennis Pitta with a 5-yard strike with 6:14 left in the third.
The Ravens gained just 130 yards in the first half before Flacco guided them on scoring drives of 87 and 63 yards.
A win would send the Ravens to the Super Bowl for the second time and extend the 17-year career of linebacker Ray Lewis, who has said he will retire after the season.
A victory would put the Patriots in their eighth Super Bowl, tying the Dallas Cowboys and Pittsburgh Steelers for the most all time, and Brady in his sixth.
The winner of the game plays the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl on Feb. 3.
New England suffered three injuries in the first half. Cornerback Aqib Talib hurt his thigh and defensive tackle Kyle Love injured his knee. The return of both starters was questionable. Backup safety Patrick Chung was helped off the field after one play.
The Patriots played without tight end Rob Gronkowski, who broke his left arm a week earlier in their 41-28 divisional win over the Houston Texans.
Stephen Gostkowski had given the Patriots a 3-0 lead with a 31-yard field goal with 6:21 left in the first quarter. But the Ravens went ahead on Ray Rice's 2-yard touchdown run with 9:28 to go in the second.
Wes Welker then scored with just over 4 minutes remaining in the half on a 1-yard pass from Tom Brady and the Patriots increased their lead on Gostkowski's 25-yard field goal on the final play before intermission.
New England outgained Baltimore 214 yards to 130 in the half. Brady completed 14 of 24 passes for 139 yards, while Flacco went 6 for 12 for 81 yards. Neither team committed a turnover.
The scoring pass to Bolden ended a drive on which Flacco completed five of six passes, the longest a 23-yarder to Torrey Smith.
The touchdown by Pitta capped the Ravens' best drive of the game, covering 87 yards in 10 plays. It started with a 15-yard defensive pass interference penalty. Then, Flacco completed six of his other nine passes on the series. Three of them went for first downs — 22 yards to Pitta, 15 to Rice and 12 to Bolden that gave the Ravens a first-and-goal at the Patriots 10-yard line.
Flacco then connected with Pitta for a 5-yard pass and finished the drive with another 5-yarder to Pitta, who easily beat single coverage by safety Steve Gregory.
The Patriots began the scoring on Gostkowski's kick, ending a 13-play, 67-yard drive during which Brady completed five of seven passes for 55 yards.
Rice's touchdown ended a 13-play, 90-yard drive that lasted 5:51. Flacco threw completions for first downs of 17 yards to Pitta, 11 yards to Rice, 8 yards to Bernard Pierce and 25 yards to Smith. With a first down at the Patriots 15-yard line, Rice ran for 8 and 5 yards, giving the Ravens a first down at the 2.
After Flacco threw an incompletion out of bounds, Rice took a handoff, ran to the left and scored easily.
Welker's touchdown came 4:18 before intermission and capped an 11-play, 79-yard drive. He scored on a pass to the right as cornerbacks Corey Graham and Chykie Brown appeared to get crossed up on their assignments.
On the first play of the series, Baltimore's Dannell Ellerbe was penalized 15 yards for a blow to the head. Then a 24-yard completion from Brady to Welker gave the Patriots a first down at the Ravens 16-yard line.
Both teams punted on their first possession before the Patriots began their scoring drive at their 21-yard line after a 50-yard punt by Sam Koch.
The Patriots began the series with Brady's 8-yard completion to Brandon Lloyd. The pair teamed up for three completions, gaining 37 yards, on the drive.
The Ravens punted on their first three possessions in the first quarter. The Patriots punted on three of their four series, forcing Baltimore to start deep in its territory.

1. Re: Need help with intel DDG43GT moboVictor_Intel Mar 20, 2012 3:12 PM (in response to Ray)
Hello Ray,
I understand that you are having problems installing the operating system in to your new Intel(R) Desktop Board DG43GT.
The Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) is a way to boot from a server and should not interfere with the operating system installation. You can disable this in BIOS under the boot tab. The option is called boot to network.
At this time, try loading the BIOS defaults with F9 then disable the boot to network. Press F10 to save and exit.
Then go ahead and update your motherboard BIOS, you can do the F7 method. The instructions can be found at the following web site:
If the problem continues, please provide us with your complete system configuration that includes power supply and RAM memory part number.
2. Re: Need help with intel DDG43GT moboRay Apr 3, 2012 4:48 PM (in response to Victor_Intel)
Did all that and same result.
The power supply is a 550 watt unit. Will open the case and obtain the DVD, HD and memory info.
3. Re: Need help with intel DDG43GT moboRay Apr 5, 2012 2:58 PM (in response to Ray)
Here is my setup.
PSU Antec 550 watt
DVD RW Toshiba model TS-H653 SATA
HD Hitachi deskstar 500 Gb SATA model HPD 725050GLA360
Memory 2 modules DDR2 Samsung 2Gb 2Rx8 PC2-6400U-666-12-E3 Part No M378T5663QZ3-CF7

Since it's Easter holidays now I'll try and help since Intel staff may be having time off. I had a look at the memory page for your board here: http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/dg43gt/sb/CS-030513.htm and I can't see why your memory should be a problem. It does concern me though that you've replaced the motherboard due to a failed motherboard but problems are still occurring. Are all the other bits in the system still the same apart from the motherboard? What was the 'failed' motherboard doing wrong?
The most common part to fail in PCs (from my experience when I used to work as a computer technician) is definitely the PSU. When these do start to fail the behaviour can often give no obvious clues that this is where the problem lies as well - hence why I asked about how the PC was before the new motherboard. As for the error message you're getting, have you tried using a different lead/connector from the PSU to your HDD and DVD drives and double checking the connections to ensure they're sound? Similarly, if you have any spare SATA cables you could try swapping them in just for testing purposes. Finally, another thing you could try is to run the manufacturers diagnostic utility on your HDD (there should be something available with instructions on their website). HDDs were the second most common bit to fail in my experience and running the diagnostic test (and perhaps performing a zero fill if given the option) would be the best way to rule this out as the cause.
5. Re: Need help with intel DG43GT moboRay Apr 6, 2012 1:34 PM (in response to Flying_Kiwi)
Thanks for your help.
The INTEL DG43GTmobo was a suggested replacement for a failed Foxcom mobo in a HP Pavilion A6500F. The Foxcom mobo in this model HP computer had a history of early failure. The Antec 550 PSU replaced the stock 250 watt PSU HP had installed in the computer. I took it out of a working computer. I have also swapped the HD and DVD, one at a time,with working units from another computer, and got the same error msg. I didn't install them in the case but had them sitting outside so I had to use longer connecting cables. That should have tested the cables. The only thing left to swap is the memory. I don't have any DDR2 667 memory and don't want to spend $50.00 US on two new memory sticks untill all options are exhausted.
6. Re: Need help with intel DG43GT moboFlying_Kiwi Apr 6, 2012 2:04 PM (in response to Ray)
Even if you had the wrong memory (which I dont believe is the case), the error messages you'd be getting would not be what you're experiencing. I do think this is an I/O (input/output) issue. This is due to the devices themselves, their connections, the PSU powering them or its power connections or the data cables. You said you've changed both the HDD and the DVD drive with known good ones so that leaves just the data cables or the PSU/its connections. Long SATA cables can definitely be problematic so try to go for 45 cm absolute maximum length good quality cables (preferably the ones that came with the new motherboard).
Just because you took the PSU out of a working computer does not necessarily mean it'll be fully compatible with your current PC (or that the connectors you've plugged into the HDD and optical drive are in good order) so it'd pay to double check these. Did you load BIOS default values for the motherboard before attempting installation (read up the motherboards manual about this)?
7. Re: Need help with intel DG43GT moboRay May 1, 2012 10:55 AM (in response to Flying_Kiwi)
I think the problem is solved but I still don't understand what caused the problem.
HP had partitioned the HD into 3 partitions including a restore partition. This was usless to me because I didn't have the restore CD, so I deleted all the partitions and reformated the HD with a single 500 GB partition. To my surprise the XP OS then loaded on the freshly formatted HD and there was no error message. I then put the windows 7 dvd in the DVD-RW and windows 7 installed uneventfully. I have no idea what was on the HD that was causing errors and preventing the install. I would never have dreamed that the HD was causing the problem.
I would like to thank the people who tried to help me fix this problem.
8. Re: Need help with intel DG43GT moboFlying_Kiwi May 3, 2012 12:33 AM (in response to Ray)
Often large OEM provided HDDs are 'BIOS linked' to the motherboard model they were originally provided with and they come already containing data set up to work with that original PC. If you put such a drive with its original motherboard, often it'll boot straight into the OS that's on it but put it with a different motherboard and to protect the OEM OS installation thats on the HDD, it deliberately won't work. This means they may have problems if not matched up with that motherboard. As you have found out, removing any OEM customisations to the drive is the way to get it back to working normally.
How did you delete the partitions off the OEM provided drive? If the HDD manufacturer has a utility capable of performing a 'zero fill' on the drive (or you use a third party app that does the same), that's the preferred way to ensure all traces are gone. Glad that you've worked this out and now realise the importance on mentioning any OEM supplied HDD came with data/partitions already on it.
9. Re: Need help with intel DG43GT moboRay May 3, 2012 2:33 PM (in response to Flying_Kiwi)
I use partition commander 11 to delete partitions and format the HD. It's a very versitile pargram.

When the going gets tough, the tough call for backup.
Life is full of challenges. First there's that whole "being born" thing, which really doesn't seem like a very pleasant experience. Then for the next 18 years, it's all about getting a good education. And finally when we become adults, the challenge is simply to find a job that supports the never-ending Mountain Dew and Doritos habit with enough time left over for video games.
I'm happy to say that I passed my birth test with flying colors and somehow finagled a college degree. I've even found a way to keep the cupboards stocked with plenty of Dew and artificially flavored cheesy goodness while playing video games for a living.
But after climbing these mountains, after laughing in the face of life's difficult tasks, I think I may have discovered a new contender: completing Commandos 2. Hoo boy.
If you haven't had the privilege of experiencing the original, you're missing out. Brought to you by Pyro Studios and Eidos Interactive, the Commandos series is an extremely challenging action/strategy game set during World War II. You lead a bunch of elite soldiers on impossible missions for the Allied cause, leaving a trail of enemies in your wake. Everything is set in a top-down perspective with stealth as the key to victory.
Each mission requires you to discreetly disable throngs of enemy soldiers in order to accomplish your objective. This is definitely not an easy task when the bad guys are on guard for any noises or abnormal occurrences. Solid Snake ain't got nothin' on these guys.
If it were any cooler, a snow jacket would be one of the minimum requirements. Well, go grab a parka – Commandos 2 adds plenty of cool new stuff to an already cool series. The original team of six (Green Beret, Sapper, Diver, Driver, Spy, and Sniper) returns to the front along with the expansion pack's Seductress. New for this iteration is the Thief (who can climb walls & hide like a 4-year-old) and the Dog (who does, well, dog things).
The commandos have also gained a few new abilities to make their jobs easier. First off, anyone can don an enemy uniform for a limited amount of time, except for the the Spy and Seductress, who are able to use this feature indefinitely. Some members also have the ability to climb walls and poles, duck in and out of windows, and even swing their way across cables. Looks like these guys have been training hard since we last saw them.
In addition to new abilities, the commandos have also gained some new toys. Sleeping pills are useful with the right vintage of wine and gas grenades are great for taking out groups of enemies. There's even a blowtorch and rocket launcher should you want the situation to get messy. And of course there are several vehicles to take for test drives, including tanks, jeeps and hot-air balloons.
Like before, the joy of Commandos 2 is its non-linear strategy. You are given a specific set of mission objectives, but it's completely up to you how the job gets done. Let's say you have to get past the main gate of an enemy base with four guards at the door. You could (1) Have your Seductress go undercover and distract them while your Green Beret clubs them over the head one by one; (2) Send the dog out to steal their attention while the Spy sneaks up from behind and drugs them; (3) Drop a few sleeping pills into a bottle of wine and leave it in a conspicuous place for the thirsty guys to find; and even (4) Toss a few gas grenades in to send them all to sleepy land. So many choices, so little time.
To add depth, there is a bonus objective to complete. If you are able to locate all of the "puzzle" pieces scattered throughout the map, you'll unlock a bonus mission that leads to a medal if completed.
Unlike the original game, an emphasis has been placed on just how you accomplish your mission. Your performance is graded with respect to time, injury sustained, areas visited, detection, and the manner in which you neutralize your enemies. So to get the highest rating and a 'promotion', you'll need to cover ground fast without being seen or injured. You'll also need to use non-lethal means of disabling enemies for maximum points. I think that's why the Green Beret looks so pissed on the box cover. He hasn't been able to use his knife all campaign long.
Graphically, Commandos 2 looks better than ever with its new 3D engine. Now, players can rotate the environments a full 360 degrees as well as zoom in and out. The textures are fantastic and the definition of the buildings and locations is superb. The zoom feature really helps the gameplay, though things get pixilated when you get in too close. Got a Geforce 3 card? Good for you, but the game doesn't care as it doesn't utilize 3D hardware. I wish the developers would have taken advantage of this, but as it stands, software mode is pretty darn good.
Commandos 2 also supports multiplayer over the Internet or LAN. Networking the game locally with friends is pretty fun, but you'll need a specific IP address to play online.
We've been waiting a while for this game, which makes it even more irritating that it comes packed with a few nasty bugs. Most common are the random crashes that spit you back to the desktop. I also experienced a bug on the mission called "White Death" where the Sapper got cloned and followed the real Sapper around. I even had to call tech support for one of the bonus missions. Turns out it wasn't a bug, just bad directions. Escape in the amphibious vehicle – NOT the truck. Sheesh.
Commandos 2 is a hard game. Those without degrees in strategy gaming will find their task daunting and, in many cases, too hard to accomplish. Lucky for me I'm well versed in the ways of the special forces.
But even with these annoyances, Commandos 2 provides hours of strategic fun. The high difficulty level may discourage those with little patience, but if it were any easier, it wouldn't be as much fun. Grab your momma's army boots and get ready to put some serious hurt on the enemy.

Manchester men charged with drive-by shooting in Nashua
By KIMBERLY HOUGHTON
Union Leader Correspondent
EDITOR'S NOTE - This story has been updated to reflect new information from police that the man who had identified himself as Darrious Weekly is in fact David Weekly.
NASHUA — Two Manchester brothers already in trouble with the law have been arrested for allegedly shooting at individuals standing on a downtown sidewalk early Wednesday.
"This was a drive-by shooting," Lt. Denis Linehan said.
A police officer driving on Main Street around 2:45 a.m. heard three gunshots and saw a white Dodge Avenger accelerate through a stop sign from Pratt Street onto Main Street. Police stopped the car, at which time three people approached authorities, claiming the occupants of the vehicle — David Weekly and Darrion Weekly — had just fired a gun at them.
Linehan said the Weeklys drove by and fired just after two of the victims exited a car in the area of 10-12 Pratt St. Police said no one was hit by the bullets, but one of the victims suffered a broken arm when he was accidentally run over by the car he was exiting.
Darrion Weekly, 19, of 219 Notre Dame Ave., Apt. 3N, Manchester, was charged with attempted first-degree assault and reckless conduct, both felonies.
David Weekly, 20, of 38 Orange St., Apt. 1, Manchester, was charged with criminal liability to attempted first-degree assault and criminal liability to reckless conduct, both felonies.
According to police, David Weekly was at the wheel of the Dodge Avenger; Darrion Weekly allegedly fired a handgun.
Police said one of the bullets struck a window at 12 Pratt St., which was occupied at the time. The handgun had not yet been recovered as of Wednesday afternoon; however authorities were obtaining a search warrant for the Weekly's vehicle.
Both men are scheduled to be arraigned today at the 9th Circuit Court, Nashua District Division.
Earlier this year, David Weekly was arrested in Manchester and charged with a count of riot after a street fight on Laurel Street. His brother, Darrion Weekly, was arrested and charged with a count of riot after a June incident involving about 25 people near Hunt Pool in Manchester.

And this little piggy went wee wee wee all the way home.
Actually, we're not sure if he went home, but at least he avoided the slaughterhouse with a courageous jump from a moving truck.
The Daily Mail reported Thursday that the truck pictured in the video below was headed to a slaughterhouse in South America.
The brave animal jumped to freedom, not exactly nailing the landing, but eventually getting back on all fours to live another day.

ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama called Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan to discuss how the two countries could help bring an end to escalating violence between Israel and Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, a White House official said on Saturday.
Ben Rhodes, White House deputy national security adviser, told reporters the United States "wants the same thing as the Israelis want," which is an end to rocket attacks on Israel by Palestinian militants in Gaza.
The United States is emphasizing diplomacy and "de-escalation" as keys to solving the conflict, Rhodes said.

Obama's Prisoners at Guantanamo
The president has the power to end indefinite detention without trial. But he won't use it.
In 2005, I filed a legal action against President George W. Bush on behalf of clients imprisoned without charges or trial at the military prisons of the Guantanamo Bay U.S. naval base in Cuba. The lawsuit—a habeas corpus petition challenging the lawfulness of imprisonment—was captioned as my clients' names versus President Bush's, who in his role as commander in chief of the U.S. military was my clients' jailer.
In 2009, when Barack Obama became the 44th president, the caption had to change. The case was now against President Obama.
At the time, this felt like a technical necessity of litigation. After all, my clients' harsh detention thousands of miles from their homes, which was designed to avoid the application of the rule of law, was carried out by Mr. Bush. Within days of his first inauguration, Mr. Obama ordered the closure of Guantanamo within one year, so the wrongs of one president were soon to be righted by the next. Barack Obama wasn't my clients' jailer, it was George Bush.
But this is no longer true. President Obama has never owned up to his role as jailer. He has viewed Guantanamo as a problem he did not create or ever support; he inherited the problem, it was thrust upon him. Although Mr. Obama has repeatedly recognized the significant costs of maintaining Guantanamo—the diminishment of U.S. standing in the world, the prison's symbolic value as a recruiting tool for terrorists, and the extraordinary expense and inefficiencies of running the prison—he has never acknowledged Guantanamo as truly his problem and his responsibility.
Mr. Obama's statements at his April 30 press conference displayed this detachment in a particularly troubling and revealing way. First, the president placed responsibility at Congress's door. He inaccurately blamed Congress for the continued existence of the prison, saying "Congress determined they would not let us close it."
This was a reference to the National Defense Authorization Acts of 2011, 2012 and 2013—all of which Mr. Obama signed into law. Although the president is required to make certain security assurances to Congress before transferring men from Guantanamo to other countries, the law does not prohibit him from carrying out such transfers.
Mr. Obama also inaccurately said at the press conference that Congress would not permit him to transfer men even when their transfer was court ordered. The opposite is true. Under the National Defense Authorization Acts, court-ordered releases are exempt from the security assurances otherwise required. Despite his clear authority in this matter, the president cannot seem to accept or acknowledge that he has the power to end indefinite detention without trial.
At the same time that he cast blame on Congress, Mr. Obama distanced himself from responsibility. Referring to the internment of the prisoners, he asked: "Why are we doing this?"—as if it is someone else, not he, who keeps the men at Guantanamo locked up.
In the same vein, Mr. Obama declared, "I'm going to go back to it because I think it is important." His promise to return to the issue of Guantanamo implies that he somehow stepped away from the subject—as if he has played no role in the ever-deeper permanency of this prison. On the contrary, every day Mr. Obama fails to start the transfer process is another day that he affirmatively decides to keep these men locked up.
The courts have made clear that this is Mr. Obama's decision. Three of my five clients were repatriated to their home countries under Mr. Bush's watch; the two who remain have given up on their habeas cases, since the courts have sanctioned indefinite detention without trial and left it to the commander in chief's discretion to determine who should be released and when.
The president's April 30 news conference was an attempt to quell the growing hunger strike at Guantanamo. But his words will drive the men into further desperation. They know it is Mr. Obama who imprisons them. So when the president blames Congress, takes no responsibility for keeping Guantanamo open, and offers tepid claims that he will see what he can do, it means only more of the same for the prisoners.
Mr. Obama must accept that the men held at Guantanamo are his prisoners, not George W. Bush's. As the commander in chief, he and he alone can and must act to end the practice of indefinite imprisonment without a fair trial.

The names, addresses, Social Security numbers and driver's license numbers of millions of Texans, many of them state workers, were left unsecure on a state server for public consumption, writes Paul Roberts on Threadpost.com.
The unencrypted data was left exposed in the office of the Texas Comptroller for more than a year after an agency-to-agency information transfer, State Comptroller Susan Combs said in a statement obtained by Threadpost.
While the glitch appears to be inadvertent, the comptroller said proper procedure was not followed during the data transaction, including having information encrypted and purging the data after the transfer.

I agree with David, "is there any discussion about a class action lawsuit against the state of Texas for this breach in their security?" It's time to people talk about things that are important.
Appears Susan Combs lied when the statement said the data was not transmitted properly. It is now coming out in the news that the data was encrypted by other state agencies and her office messed up. DON'T SPREAD THE BLAME WHEN YOU ARE AT FAULT!
is there any discussion about a class action lawsuit against the state of Texas for this breach in their security? 3.5 million people could get their attention.
I work this school district which sent this bogusness out and tried not to take blame(impersonal--non-PII-- information!?!)~~
The following does not affect employees who were hired after January, 2010. It has been discovered that the
following information was available to the public until the mistake was discovered on March 3, 2011:
• Employee names
• Social Security numbers
• Addresses
• Birthdates
Please read below regarding information that was disseminated by the Texas A&M HR Office:
Today, we were notified that there was a breach of impersonal information from Employees Retirement System of
Texas (ERS), Teacher Retirement System of Texas (TRS) and the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC).
The Texas Comptroller's office is sending letters beginning Wednesday, April 13, to notify those whose personal
information was inadvertently disclosed on an agency server that was accessible to the public. You may check to
see if you are receiving a notification letter by:
Calling this toll-free number: (855) 474-2065 or
Writing to this website: http://www.txsafeguard.org
TRS members are also urged to check their credit report and bank accounts for any unauthorized activity
Until everyone gets serious about guarding PII, this sort of thing is going to keep happening. There should be stiff penalties for when this happens. It is not a surprize, both government and industry have been told to tighen up there IT operations and both are neglecting to do so because of either funding or the will to train personnel properly on management of sensitive data. At least they reported it, how about when an organization does this sort of thing and doesn't report it and people find out after episodes of indentity theft.
