to the Chinese government, the U.S. is committing a campaign of
cyberwarfare against it (its claims echo those voiced by top U.S.
armed forces officials, who conversely claim China is
carrying out a cyberwarfare effort against the U.S.). People's
Daily, the main newspaper of the Chinese Communist Party, on
Wednesday unleashed serious accusations against Google. In a
front-page piece it claims that Google, the second largest search
engine in China, and one of the largest companies in the U.S.,
is colluding
with U.S. espionage efforts.Writes the paper:
Chinese people, Google is not god, and even if it puts on a full-on
show about politics and values, it is still not god. In fact,
Google is not a virgin when it comes to values. Its cooperation and
collusion with the U.S. intelligence and security agencies is
well-known...All this makes one wonder. Thinking about the United
States' big efforts in recent years to engage in Internet war,
perhaps this could be an exploratory pre-dawn battle.
editorial follows Google's Monday decision to stand up to the Chinese
government. Fed up with cybercrime in China and the country's
policy of censoring internet access to a variety of materials, Google
defied Chinese regulators by uncensoring
its search results in China. It redirected Chinese visitors
from google.cn to its uncensored Hong Kong search site. The
Hong Kong site uses the same simplified Chinese characters that the
mainland uses and thus is readable to those in mainland China.As
of Tuesday the site was still not blocked, but most observers believe
that the Chinese government will move to block google.cn or
google.com.hk. Some are astounded at the move by Google.
Former U.S. ambassador to China J.
Stapleton Roy, director of the Kissinger Institute on China and
the United States at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for
Scholars, states, "I don't understand their calculation.
I do not see how Google could have concluded that they could have
faced down the Chinese on a domestic censorship issue."Google
could pay deeply for the move. China is home to over 155
million smart phone users and that number is growing rapidly.
Contrary to its previous
statements, the Chinese government is now moving to ban Google's
Android handsets from China. It is reportedly pressuring
telecoms like China Unicom to delay or scrap smart phone offerings
that use Google's Android OS. This could prove a boon to
Research in Motion and Apple, the latter of which has seen poor
sales of its iPhone in China.The Chinese government
is also pushing telecoms to terminate their search deals with Google,
which could boost Microsoft. Google is expected to lose its
31.3 percent search stake in China's internet market of over 350
million users -- more users than the entire population of the
U.S.The accusations of espionage could also result in charges
against Google's 600 China employees. Google is fearful of this
and was careful to say that none of its Chinese employees were
involved in the decision to uncensor the search. Chinese courts
might not accept that claim, though.Google co-founder and
president Sergey Brin knows a little about what its like to grow up
in an oppressive communist regime. Brin was born in 1973 in
Soviet Russia, but later attended college at Stanford University --
where he met fellow Google co-founder Larry Page.Brin says
that the Obama administration should take action against China rather
than avoid the issue. He stated in an
interview with the UK newspaper Guardian,
"I certainly hope they make it a high priority. Human
rights issues deserve equal time to the trade issues that are high
priority now … I hope this gets taken seriously. Since
services and information are our most successful exports, if
regulations in China effectively prevent us from being competitive,
then they are a trade barrier.And Brin had some stinging
criticism of U.S. rival Microsoft, who has vowed to
continue censoring its Chinese search, in cooperation with the
government of China. Says Brin, "I'm very disappointed for
them in particular. As I understand, they have effectively no market
share – so they essentially spoke against freedom of speech and
human rights simply in order to contradict Google."In
China many people are celebrating Google's decision to stand up
against censorship. The logo in front of Google's headquarters
was covered in flowers left by supporters. That
support, though, may only serve to further anger Chinese regulators.

A 28-year-old Bluff, Utah man was arrested Tuesday night, Nov. 7 for breaking into a shooting store and stealing three rifles worth almost $1,200.
On Sunday, Nov. 4 at shortly before midnight, the Montezuma County Sheriffs Office responded to a burglar alarm south of Cortez at Summit Shooting Center, 23858 County Road G.
Upon arrival, deputies discovered that forced entry was gained into the building and several firearms had been stolen.
While the sheriffs office would not say what led to the mans arrest, Darlene Chandler, who owns the Summit Shooting Center with her husband, Larry, said a cell phone was left behind at the business and it belonged to the suspect.
She said both sheriffs deputies and her husband spotted the cell phone at about the same time.
During the course of the investigation, detectives with the Montezuma County Sheriffs Office developed a person of interest, located that person and obtained a subsequent arrest warrant for second-degree Burglary, a Class 4 felony.
Chaviz Stash is still in custody and is being held on a $4,000 bail, the Montezuma County Sheriffs Office is reporting.
Chandler said Stash gained access to the business by going through a wall on the backside of the building between two wall studs that were 16 inches apart from each other.
Before cutting a hole in the wall, Stash is accused of cutting a hole in the fence and smashing a glass door to get into the store, causing about $1,500 in property damage.
She said the burglar alarm sounded when the glass door was broken and dispatch from the sheriffs office called her and her husband shortly after midnight.
When the Chandlers arrived at the store at 12:36 a.m., police were waiting outside the gate.
The three guns that were stolen were recovered and returned to the Chandlers but they were not in the same condition. She said they were covered with dirt, the stocks were skinned and the aiming sights were off.
Because there was a gaping hole in the wall of the business, the Chandlers stayed at the store that night and the next morning started to clean up the glass and patch the wall.
I never heard about people going through the wall, Darlene Chandler said, and added she has since researched it and found this access way for burglars is becoming more popular.
Chandler complimented the Montezuma County Sheriffs Office for the tremendous job they did, and mentioned deputies arrived at their business very quickly.

With Windows XP now off mainstream support, the issue has resurfaced for many IT teams across the world. Which OS do they start planning a migration to? For all the anti-Vista rhetoric thrown around the internet one would assume that Windows 7 is going to be the no-brainer of an answer to that question.
Unfortunately, that really isn't how the game is played when you're looking at a migration for a medium-sized business, even less so once you get to large or enterprise sized companies. Contrary to popular myths, Vista and Windows 7 are really the same OS. They have the same problems and same concerns on the table when dealing with an enterprise wide deployment.
For both Windows 7 and Vista, the majority of issues surface with regards to backwards compatibility.
16-bit is dead now. XP was the last stand for many a 16-bit application, but with Vista and now Windows 7, it's not coming back. It's time to accept this reality and begin the painful process of removing the last of the 16-bit holdouts from corporate IT environments. I know it's a real pain but if you do it now it's just one less headache during the migration.
In-house applications, love them or hate them, are going to be the largest source of headaches standing between IT and a smooth switch. Many of these applications are unfortunately classified as "business critical applications" with many people unable to work without them. The largest problem with these applications is not so much that they don't comply with some security standard or utilize old procedural calls that don't exist on the new systems, but rather than the original developers and designers of said application have long since left the company and moved on to greener pastures. This makes updating these applications difficult at best and impossible at worst. Replacement is sometimes the only way around this, but replacing a custom piece of software costs money, and generally lots of it. For those that were around from the 95/98 to 2000/XP migration or the earlier 3.11 to 95/98 migration you know just how problematic it is.
64-bit or 32-bit? It's a dilemma within a dilemma for many, and an annoyance for some. With Vendors shipping systems easily capable of 4GB or higher memory capacities 32-bit operating systems are hitting a wall. For your average corporate user with a dozen apps, countless services, scanners, and background tasks running 2GB or even 3GB is starting to feel a bit tired. With 64-bit we could issue systems with 4, 6, or even 8GB to users depending on their needs with little additional cost given the price of memory and the widespread system board support for capacities up to 8GB. At the same time 64-bit potentially makes our already difficult software compatibility problem that much worse.
Granted with the help of WOW64, most 32-bit apps will still function under 64-bit Windows, we come to a dead stop for drivers. One driver in particular I'm sure many in IT will be familiar with is the VPN Client driver that installs with their choice of VPN Client. Cisco, Nortel, or others may or may not have support for 64-bit making it a potential deal breaker when attempting a 64-bit migration.
End user training is a touchy subject, and one that tends to be overblown during migrations. Any change is disruptive, any change causes end users to adapt and learn once again, but it's not really any different than changing a software version or bringing a new product into the environment. With the age of Vista and its proliferation in home user systems, the switch will likely not be such a big deal. For Windows 7 it's still not released, and proliferation for end users is essentially zero at this point.
Regardless of the pros and cons, IT teams have to make a decision sooner or later. With the deadline for many being the magical 2014 when Windows XP goes off life support. By that time Windows 7 should be well entrenched and the next version of Windows should be in the pipeline for deployment sometime in the 2014-2015 timeframe. Given the timing this makes Windows 7 the obvious choice for last minute hold outs. However chose seeking to get a jump may go with Windows Vista while Windows 7 awaits its first Service Pack.

Thought about possible destinations for Taka + Oro, and Konoha seems most likely. The Nara shrine is possible and possibly Obito's lair. It is, as Oro said, a place they "both know well". Sasuke obviously wants to speak to his parents. Stands to reason their corpses were buried in the village of Konoha. If Sasuke and Oro are headed to Konoha now, they will likely run into the K11 as they are running to where Naruto is. Naruto is too preoccupied with Madara and Obito to even possibly come rescue them.
I think they are headed to a place that only Orochimaru knows of, perhaps only he knows where the first Hokage is buried. After all, the scroll might contain a way of unsealing people, maybe the Kage can be resurrected from the scroll's power. In any case, I think that Taka will run into K11 and combat will ensue.
Sasuke will probably be forced to go back on his "promise" to Naruto and kill some of them first, since they obviously aren't going to get out of his way easily. My guess is that some minor character deaths will set Naruto over the edge and force him to actually fight Sasuke with the intent to kill.
My vote is Kiba. It'd be sad if he killed Shikamaru (let's face it, he's fodder at this point) or Rock Lee, Neiji or Hinata. Even for this Sasuke hating forum, I think we can all agree Sasuke + Oro >> K11 without Naruto, right?

Toyota's next generation Prius likely won't have the
spectacular boost in fuel economy that was once expected. In late May, the
Japanese newspaper Nikkan Koyogo
reported that Toyota was considering nixing the idea of putting lithium-ion batteries in
the next generation Prius. The newspaper stated that there were concerns
within the company about the safety of lithium-ion batteries -- something that
Sony is already well aware of.
The Wall Street
Journal confirmed today that the next-generation Prius will
not use lithium-ion battery technology -- at least for the first few years.
The lithium-ion batteries that were to be used in the Prius would have been
provided by Panasonic EV Energy Company.
The Prius will instead continue to use nickel-metal hydride
batteries -- albeit in a higher capacity form to boost mileage over the current
generation vehicle.
Toyota's decision to not use lithium-ion battery technology
could be a big break for General Motors. GM has long been in Toyota's shadow
when it comes to hybrid technology, but the company is looking to reverse its
fortunes in the coming years.
The company has launched its new "mild hybrid" Saturn Aura Green Line
sedan and is nearing the release of dual-mode hybrid Chevrolet
Tahoe and GMC Yukon full-size SUVs. GM's coup de grâce, however, could be
the upcoming Saturn Vue
Green Line mid-sized crossover.
In 2009, the Saturn Vue Green Line will be equipped with a
2-mode hybrid powertrain and plug-in capabilities. Owners will be able to
charge their vehicle overnight via a standard 110-volt outlet and drive 10
miles on fully charged lithium-ion batteries before the internal combustion
engine takes over. In addition, GM says that its plug-in hybrid Vue Green Line
is good for 70MPG.
All hope is not lost for the Prius in the quest for
increased fuel economy. Current and future Prius owners can always look to
third-parties to retrofit their vehicles with lithium-ion batteries. Lithium
Technology Corporation has produced a lithium-ion battery pack (comprised of 63 LTC LiFePO4 cells)
for the current Prius. When coupled with a plug-in system, fuel economy jumps
from 46MPG combined to 125MPG.

Dept. of Homeland Sec. Brings War Blimps to the Mexican Border
Jason Mick
August 15, 2012 6:11 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Effort to curb illegal immigration from America's southern neighbor heats up
They're no 192-foot
Goodyear Blimp
, but at 72-feet long, and 40-feet tall the hulking white addition to the Texas skyline strikes an intimidating presence. That is, it would if you could see it -- the special helium blimp floats at between 2,000-3,000 feet in the air, capable of staying aloft for up to two weeks at a time.
I. From the "War on Terror" to the "War on Drugs"
The floater is produced by a large
U.S. Department of Defense
(DOD) contractor named
Raven Industries
. Raven Industries prefers the term "
" to blimp to avoid any sort of trademark conflicts.
2011 marked a landmark year for Raven Industries with over 15 of the South Dakota-based company's floaters deployed to battlefields in Afghanistan and Iraq, including the contested city of Kabul, a key base for America's occupying force in Afghanistan. Sales of the blimps helped Raven Industries pull in $381M+ USD in revenue in 2011 [
Unofficially dubbed "The Eye in the Sky" or "The Floating Eye" by servicepeople, the DOD is now offering up some of the prized blimps to the
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) agency and its parent, the
Department of Homeland Security
(DHS) for use in policing the Mexican border.

The Aerostar will be equipped with the "
" wide-area scanning sensor from
Logos Technologies
and the
Wescam sensor
L-3 Communications
, which provides narrower range multi-imaging.
II. Is the Price Right?
Equipped with sophisticated video and infrared sensors, the blimps cost the DOD between $1M USD and $5M USD,
according to
The Wall Street Journal
(officially the cost and configurations are classified). But if the CBP and DHS enjoy their free trial, they can pick up virtually the whole fleet for $27M USD.
But the CBP says it is wary of jumping in too fast. It's still reeling from the DHS's decision to pull the controversial billion dollar
"electric fence" initiative
, which would have used cameras, radar, and other devices to create a wireless sensor network spanning the entire border.
The 2011 Congressional
budget for the DHS
[PDF] allocated $9.8B USD to the CBP, of which between $100M and $130M USD is reserved for equipment, according to a
interview with Mark Borkowski, assistant commissioner at the
CBP's Office of Technology Innovation and Acquisition
The Aerostar in flight over Afghanistan in Sept. 2011. [Image Source:
The Raven Industries Aerostar would be a deal in a way, but they would also drain between a third and fourth of the yearly equipment budget. Thus the CBP is also considering alternatives.
It's already field
testing modified Predator drones
, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) used extensively by the DOD. Also on its radar is a rival blimp from TCOM LP of Columbia, Maryland. The TCOM design is less expensive, but also less subtle -- it's tethered to the ground by a long communications cable.
But tests of both the TCOM blimp and the Raven Industries design are still in progress in east Texas, with the CBP uncertain whether they will be a good fit. After all, illegal entrants into the country operate in a rather different fashion than Afghani insurgents, and there's substantial differences in the desert landscape as well.
III. Border Policing, Domestic Surveillance are Topics Mired in Controversy
As the DHS steps up its surveillance efforts, there are also tough questions regarding this form of ubiquitous government surveillance. Some fear the U.S. descending further into a "police state" in which armed flyers and floaters
are used to spy on and assault people
in urban and suburban America.
And then there's the issue of the enforcement itself. At 1,969 miles [
] the U.S.-Mexican border is an enforcer's nightmare.
The issue of illegal immigration has historically been, and is today a hyper-politicized issue, and in an election year tensions are running high. The only alleviating factor is a surprising reverse migration of immigrants (legal and illegal) returning back to Mexico due to the lack of jobs in America, according to the
Pew Hispanic Center
Even with the ebb of net immigration, the flow of unauthorized Mexican nationals adds yet another persistent wrinkle -- the "
War on Drugs
", first declared by President Richard Nixon in 1971.
In many ways the War on Drugs has earned a place among America's numerous historic overseas conflicts in terms of cost and destruction. To date it has drained over $1T USD [
Mexico provides the majority of U.S. marijuana. [Image Source: AFP]
The U.S. Department of Justice estimates that many tons of marijuana are smuggled across the Mexican border per year. It labels Mexico as the biggest source of marijuana in the U.S., where cultivation is illegal despite being agriculturally viable.
In 2011 the nation budgeted an estimated $15.5B USD [
] to the U.S. Drug Czar to perpetuate this domestic "War" -- 31 times the inflation-adjusted budget Nixon devoted. Much of the war involved banning the most used illegal drug -- marijuana, a drug
top physicians say is less harmful than alcohol or tobacco
. Approximately half of U.S. drug arrests are attributable to marijuana possession.
Experts estimate that the U.S. loses almost $50B USD [
] in potential tax revenue by outlawing marijuana -- roughly $2T USD over the forty years of the war on drugs. Combined with the net cost, that works out to roughly $3T USD -- enough to pay off a third of the U.S. national debt [
IV. Members of Congress Critical of DHS Spending
Some like Texas
Rep. Ron Paul
(R), who have a front row view of the immigration debate and "War on Drugs" have advocated decriminalizing marijuana. Rep. Paul
is quoted
as saying, "And marijuana - I think it's tragic what's happening today in the drug war. Since the early '70s we've spent maybe $200 to $300 billion on the drug war. That's not been any good. This whole effort on the drug war doesn't make any sense at all to me."
Rep. Ron Paul says spending billions to "fight" a domestic "War on Drugs" is unconstitutional.
[Image Source: AP]
Rep. Paul also supports disbanding the DHS, which at $53B USD constituted approximately 1.4 percent of the $3.83T USD spent by the Obama administration in 2011.
Amid all the controversy -- the war on drugs, the war on illegal immigration, domestic surveillance and the police state -- one perpetual criticism of the blimp --er-- aerostat is easy to lay to rest: "But what if they're shot."
Raven Industries CEO Dan Rykhus comments, "We actually like when they [insurgents] try to shoot at them as there's technology on the blimp that allows us to train the camera on the source of that gunfire."
The aerostats are at near equal-pressure, which means the pressure on the inside of the blimp is almost the same as on the outside. What that means is that if they are hit, the helium inside won't rush out.
In other words, while buying the blimps may draw the ire of some fiscal conservatives, don't accuse the floaters of being gun fodder for drug traffickers.

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), or ubiquinone, is a naturally occurring, vitamin-like nutrient found in almost all cells of the human body and is essential to life. It works on a cellular level to produce metabolic energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). High concentrations are found in the heart, liver, kidneys and pancreas.
CoQ10 is commonly used to strengthen and protect the heart, although it has other important health benefits. It acts as a powerful antioxidant and supports circulation, healthy cholesterol levels already within the normal range, immune function and gum health. It also boosts the benefits of vitamin E.Evidence suggests people who take statin drugs to treat high cholesterol levels may be simultaneously depleting their CoQ10 levels. Many cardiologists are now recommending CoQ10 to patients as an adjunct to traditional medical treatments.
Normally CoQ10 is found in the diet, in foods like fish, organ meats and peanuts. As we age and begin to lose our ability to synthesize this nutrient from food, CoQ10 supplements can help.
One of the most important things you can do for your overall health and longevity is improve your heart health. With well-documented substantial benefits to the heart and more, coenzyme Q10 is an essential nutrient to add to your health regimen.
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) supports heart health, and promotes vitality and energy.* It's an essential component of cell mitochondria, where energy is produced. CoQ10 is vital to meet the heart's high energy needs, and it provides potent antioxidant support throughout the body.*
Our CoQ10 is produced by fermentation. Since CoQ10 is fat soluble, we combine it with soybean oil, which significantly enhances its absorption.*

Watching some fights down by the railroad tracks just got a lot less ghetto.
The newly refurbished Rail Yards, just south of downtown, is now the go-to spot for hipster points, and will be hosting its second weekly community market mere hours after they pack up the cage. But tonight the old blacksmith shop belongs to the fighting community, as an all-amateur card of fighters will strip to the waist and try to use each other as stepping-stones as they climb the mountain of glory.
The nine-fight Jackson's MMA Series card, Protégé, starts at 7, at 1100 2nd St SW, and will feature Albuquerque fighters from local gyms taking on comers from elsewhere in state. Tickets to this uniquely-set event are available at Hold My Ticket.
At the top of the card is a fighter whose career I've followed ever since he won the Jackson's Edge Challenge in 2011. Ricky Esquibel, of the Jackson-Winkeljohn camp here in Albuquerque, battles Chris Brewer of Alamosa in a main event battle that should have been a 125 lbs (flyweight), had Brewer not missed weight by 2 and a half pounds.
To see some rare footage from Esquibel's first fight—in which he impressively got out of a tight spot by picking up his opponent, slamming him, and strangling him—please refer to this blog post I wrote at the time.
Travis Browne and Donald Cerrone, two Jackson-Winkeljohn prospects, grace the UFC on Fox card tonight, with the main card starting at 6pm.
Here's a recent interview I did with Travis Browne, in my capacity as a reporter for BloodyElbow.com, about this fight and other topics, like the violent elbows he lands on people who try to take him down. The interview happened behind the Rt. 66 casino the night of Holly Holm's recent fight, on April 4.
Sorry for the hum during the interview! The ambulance behind us was running, which did something weird to my camera's audio.
As far as why the video is stuck in the right hand margin behind some ads, I have no idea. [UPDATE: Fixed. Sorry about that.] So here's a link to my story on Bloody Elbow.
The Holly Holm train is pulling into the Route 66 Casino tonight where the legendary boxer will face her seventh opponent in chain-link cage, as she continues her new MMA career. Holm has been courted by the UFC in recent weeks, though her management supposedly pissed off Dana White, presumably for asking for too much money (though it should be noted that White gets pissed if the wind blows).
The last time Holm fought, I had recommended that you go see her because it may be your last chance to see her fight in Albuquerque, before she gets swept up by the UFC. But this time, it seems like the opposite is true. If Holm continues to circle outside the UFC, she'll probably be back at the 66 for at least another fight. If she joins the show and signs with the UFC, it might be in time for the June 7 card, headlined by Diego Sanchez vs Ross Pearson.
Such speculation, of course, is dependent on her winning tonight, which is a safe bet. But things will get interesting if the fight goes to the mat, where Holm is much less comfortable and experienced.
Holm may not want to go to the ground, but that's what the world needs to see—if not this fight, then some other future fight—before she can be taken seriously as a threat to the UFC Bantamweight title held by Ronda Rousey. The champ has won most of her fights by arm bar, and would look to do the same against the Duke City striker. The best thing that could happen for Holly in this fight would be to slam Werner to the mat and submit her, preferably by arm bar. If she does that and calls out Rousey, Dana White would pee, a little bit anyway, in his pants.
But should Holm win, there is another high-profile fight that will be on her more immediate horizon: Christiana "Cyborg" Justino, the only other female MMA fighter outside the UFC who generates a buzz on par with Holm's. According to her trainer Mike Winkeljohn, they will be trying to make this happen should Holly win.
I'm just saying: if Holly wins, her vs Cyborg on the June 7th card would tear the roof off of Tingly Coliseum, dontcha think?
Several teammates of "The Preacher's Daughter" will be on the card tonight, including Jackson-Winkeljohn products Clint Roberts and Nick Urso, two homegrown beasts you want on your side. Jesse Tafoya of Wink's Gym, where Holm teaches and trains, is on the preliminary card.
The main card starts at 9 pm, and takes place at the Rt. 66 Casino on I 40. It will also be on AXSTV. The preliminary card starts at 7:30, and can only be witnessed live.
See you there, so look for the drunk guy in the Hawaiian shirt, and come say "hi."
Sure, it's a damn shame that the UFC may never do a show in Albuquerque. After all, Duke City has some of the most committed fight fans on earth. On the flipside, we've got some of the best fighters as well, with both home-grown talent and fighters hat have immigrated here to train at Jackson/Winkeljohn MMA, as well as some of the other gyms, like FIT NHB. That adds up to local Mixed Martial Arts events stacked with top caliber talent, fighters that may very soon be competing at the sport's highest level.
Case in point: Friday, Dec. 6, at the Route 66 Casino, the Fresquez Productions' "Havoc" fight card, featuring Holly Holm vs Angela Hayes at bantamweight (135 lbs). The UFC has already expressed interest in Holm, and UFC president Dana White has acknowledge to being pestered to the point of desperation with questions about when the organization will sign her. Holm is being touted by many fans and media as a potential solution to Ronda Rousey's dominance.
Thus far, no opponent has escaped the first round without tapping to an armbar, much less beaten the UFC champion. Holm, a world champion boxer, and, according to her coach Mike Winkeljohn a "better kickboxer" is a fearsome striker, who has never been taken down or threatened on the ground in five professional MMA fights. But five of her opponent's six wins are by submission, which means this could finally be the time Holm is tested on the ground. And we have the opportunity to see what happens, live. As soon as Holm gets picked up by the UFC, you might not be able to see her fight in Albuquerque ever again, so take advantage!
Also on the card, flyweight Nick Urso, a Jackson/Winkeljohn product like Holm. SouthWestFightNews notes, "Urso's combination of speed, technique and natural talent has placed his name front-and-center in the discussion of who is New Mexico's best fighter not-signed by a major MMA promotion."
Urso will be fighting Jesus Urbina of Bushido MMA in El Paso. Again, SouthWestFightNews: "Urbina is very tough in all areas of MMA as he can trade punches in and outside of the pocket, he is very good at scrambling in his defensive grappling and he can finish fights when he gets top position on the mat. All of those compliments only accent his respected wrestling game; Urbina in fact has a collegiate wrestling background. "
Another fighter on the card we should be exited to see is Jackson/Winkeljohn welterweight (170 lbs) Clint Roberts, who will fight Eddie Gamboa, also of El Paso's Bushido MMA. Roberts is a powerful, well-rounded fighter who would likely be making big waves by now if he didn't keep getting injured. Most recently: a broken hand suffered in his last fight. It the knockout win, he ended up breaking his hand on his opponents' head.
Many other local prospects will be fighting as well, including Cody East, Chuck Pieritz, Gabriel Benitez, Ricky Esquibel, and Mike Benefiel. The six-bout main card is preceded by a five-fight amateur undercard, which starts at seven. The public is invited to attend the weigh-in on Thursday at 2 pm, at the Route 66 Casino.
Tickets can be purchased online. For info, call 505-884-7484, or visit the Fresquez Productions website.
You know that little feeling that something isn't quite right? More than just a funny feeling, it's actually your brain processing several conscious and unconscious cues, and arriving at the conclusion that something isn't cool, explained Heather Winkeljohn, co-instructor of the Smart Girl Self Defense course being taught at Wink's Gym.
"Women are conditioned to ignore that feeling that something's wrong. Maybe they don't want to rock the boat, or come across as a bitch, so they go along with a situation, even though they're scared."
Winkeljohn roped her husband Mike in to help teach the course, which is focused on paying attention to the conscious and subconscious cues that can help people avoid danger, if they know how to listen. An expert on victim psychology, Heather has done research on intuition, fear and other emotions that have offered survival advantages through the ages, and the main focus of the course is to identify and tap into these emotions, listen to them and derive power from them if necessary. The course is all about avoiding dangerous situations, but for times when that is not possible, Mike Winkeljohn will teach the women how to throw down when necessary, and make the perpetrator wish he'd chosen another victim.
Mike Winkeljohn is a former world champion kickboxer, and striking coach at the Jackson/Winkeljohn MMA academy, where many of the world's top pro fighters come to train. He handles the physical self-defense side of the course, teaching the skills needed to survive, and win, a physical encounter. He told me that if the women who take this course never have to use the techniques he teaches them, then he'd consider the course to be a success.
The course looks at the biological basis of fight-or-flight reflex and focuses on how to make best use of intuition and gut feelings, which are the domain of our "animal brain," as distinct from the "logic brain."
Heather says that all too often the logic brain can overthink situations, thanks in part to societal expectations that women internalize which can jeopardize their safety.
"Unfortunately, the logic brain can override the animal brain when you're in danger. Say you're about to get into an elevator with a creepy looking person. It's the difference between deciding not to get in and convincing yourself against your better judgment that it will be OK. Intuition is kind of like a smoke detector. It could be a false alarm, but you're better off listening to it."
This kind of information is augmented by an analysis of common traits of survivors, many of which came to light via psychologist Al Seibert's 50-year career studying survivors. "Survivors follow their hunches and use their intuition, and they never give up," Winkeljohn said.
The same can be said for good fighters, like Mike Winkeljohn's protégé Jon "Bones" Jones, who survived serious adversity at UFC 165 last weekend and gutted out a victory against Alexander Gustafson to defend his light heavyweight title. We admire qualities like heart and perseverance in fighters, in part because we recognize these traits are the same traits of survivors. These are good qualities to have on the sometimes mean streets of Albuquerque.
For more info on the course, call Wink's Gym, at 822-6326.
Jackson's MMA Series XI is set to rock Tingly Colliseum tonight. The first bout of the amateur undercard starts at 7 pm. The undercard features one of my favorite amateurs to watch, Eric Dodson, younger brother of UFC Flyweight contender John Dodson.
The main card is headlined by a Featherweight contest between Conrad Padilla of Jackson/Winkeljohn MMA and Nick Rhoads, who makes the trip from Tucson into hostile territory.
Also on the under, Jackson/Winkeljohn product Nick Urso takes on Ronnie White of Lovato Fitness in Albuquerque, in what should be an exciting cross-town rivalry in the Flyweight division. Urso is just a win or two away from a shot at the UFC, according to his striking coach Mike Winkeljohn.
If you've never been to a Jackson's MMA Series event in Tingly, it's worth a trip. The flashing lights and bone-shaking sound system are on par with the big shows, like UFC and Bellator, and the caliber of fights usually are too. If you're stuck at home, like I'll be, you can stream it live.

Funky is Ben Askren's official knickname. I might suggest "Glue." Or better yet, "Velcro." His tight curly hair looks like one half of that material, and he has a way of sticking to his opponents. He need only make contact with a single point of his opponent, and then he doesn't let go. He leans on them, tangles them, applies his weight to the exact leverage points to make them work their hardest. He holds them down and hits them.
Askren won the first round while inflicting little damage, but in subsequent rounds he ratcheted up the pressure, eventually out-striking his opponent 293-3 in what seemed like a foregone conclusion. Askren attempted a few submissions, but gave them up when they opened up opportunities to improve his position. Koreshkov came out at the beginning of each subsequent round looking more and more terrified of being taken down. All Askren had to do was fake a takedown and he'd jump backwards. Koreshkov fought gamely at first, but seemed to lose his will.
Perhaps the most dramatic moment was at the beginning of Round 3, when Koreshkov caught Askren with a knee as he shot in for a double leg. It was a good knee, and such a knee is a potential Achilles heel to any wrestler. But if the knee hurt Askren, it wasn't apparent. He continued doing his thing, which was basically what a cat does to a living mouse. Askren toyed with Koreshkov until he gave up and stopped fighting back, and Askren was awarded the finish by TKO.
"Snap crackle pop," is how he described his treatment of Koreshkov afterwards, in his post-fight interview with color commentator Jimmy Smith.
It was unarguably a brilliant, dominating performance, but the crowd hadn't liked it. This is Duke City, after all, and they hadn't come to watch a wrestling match. During the fight there had been a few half-hearted chants of USA, USA, USA—Koreshkov was, after all, a foreigner—but these were soon drowned by in a sea of boos. This hadn't been the only wrestling match of the evening. Mohamed "King Mo" Lawal had also dry-humpted his way to a tko victory due to ground strikes.
Perhaps, in hindsight, feeding a wrestler-heavy card to an Albuquerque crowd, following a prelim card that consisted of squash matches where local lambs were sacrificed to Bellator prospects to pad their records and their highlight reels, wasn't the best idea. And the crowd wasn't MMA-nerdy enough to appreciate the surprise announcement of Rampage Jackson vs Tito Ortiz, on a November 2nd Pay-per-view. But then, this was a card designed for television. The ABQ fight fans were there to fill the place up, and 3,000 + showed up.
In his post-fight interview, Askren called the crowd communists for booing him, and announced that he's the best fighter in the world. Ten minutes later, freshly showered, Askren pranced around the cage-side VIP area, completely unmarked, taking thumps-up photos.
The fisticuffs-craving crowd got what it wanted in the final fight, as Michael Chandler quickly and ferociously knocked out David Rickels in 42 seconds to defend his belt. Not much more to say, as it was so quick, except that even in that short window of a performance, it's clear that Michael Chandler is an explosive, impressive athlete. After the fight Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney called Chandler the best lightweight in the world. One reason he didn't say the same about Askren is that he hadn't just signed Askren to a multi-fight contract, as he had Chandler. Askren, in fact, had just fought his final fight on his current contract.
Askren and Chandler. Two different fighters, two different but dominant performances. Two Bellator champions that could give their UFC counterparts runs for their money.
Albuquerque MMA fans are in for a treat today, as Bellator 97 is going down at the Star Center in Rio Rancho. This is the promotion's second trip to the 505 this year, and diehard MMA nerds are calling this the best card in the promotion's history.
At the top of the card, Bellator Lightweight (155lb) champ Michael Chandler will attempt to defend his belt against David "The Caveman" Rickels, who I recently interviewed for the Alibi. This should be a fast-paced war between two relentless fighters. Before that, Bellator Welterweight Champ Ben Askren defends his strap against undefeated Russian import Andre Koreschkov. And Mohammed "King Mo" Lawal will try to back up weeks of smack talk against Jacob Noe in a light heavyweight bout.
Tickets are still available, and several local fighters are on the undercard, which kicks off at 3:30 this afternoon. Starting at 5 the fights will be broadcast live on Spike TV. These local warriors include: Cris Leyva (Farmington), Mike Barreras (Albuquerque) and Frank Baca (Albuquerque).
Following the championship bouts there will be four additional "feature" fights that will include more local fighters: Adrian Cruz (Rio Rancho), Russell Wilson (Albuquerque), Richard Jacques (Albuquerque), Felipe Chavez, (Albuquerque), and Donald Sanchez (Albuquerque).
The Alibi will be on-scene, posting updates to the blog. Stay tuned. Or show up yourself and see what all this fuss is about.
This thoroughly enjoyable video from a surveillance camera in Moscow is only satisfying, unfortunately, because women are typically vulnerable to the boundless assholishness of men.
In an attempt to counteract this sad reality, a very cool class is being taught this Saturday, August 3rd, at Wink's Gym in the Northeast Heights (7610 Carmel, near Wyoming and Paseo). The class, Smart Girl Self-Defense, combines fighting skills with mental tactics on how to think on your feet and derive power from fear. It's taught by husband and wife team Mike and Heather Winkeljohn.
Mike is the striking coach at Jackson/Winkeljohn MMA, where many of the world's top fighters come to train. Heather has a degree in psychology with an emphasis on the psychology of abuse.
Together, they've put together a course that teaches women to use their brains to stay out of trouble, and defending themselves if a physical confrontation is unavoidable.
Saturday's course is part of a two-part series. Signing up or completing the other portion is a prerequisite for Saturday's class. Call 505-822-6326 for more details.
When David "The Caveman" Rickels got the call to face Michael Chandler for the lightweight—155 lb—title at Bellator 97 in Rio Rancho, he weighed 205 lbs. That was in early June. Faced with a 50 pound weight cut, Rickels had to dig deep into his caveman roots. His training regime is based on the paleo approach. Not just the paleo diet, but he actually has a set of metal clubs that he swings around like the savage he claims to be.
"It's a great workout swinging those clubs. Hitting tires. You can swing them around, above the head, between the legs, like a kettle bell swing. The way you hold them, because of the way the weight is distributed, if you hold it at the end it makes everything way harder. It's just a different workout. It totally satisfy's a man's need to bash on things."
I asked Rickels if the paleo diet had anything to do with him blowing up to 205 between fights.
"During training, my diet is 95% paleo. Whatever a caveman could walk out and pick up. I don't do grains, obviously. It's mostly fruit, vegetables and meat. I do a lot of juicing, too. The cavemen didn't really have juicers, but that's where we've one-upped them."
So you train in the paleo era, but when you're blowing up to 205 you're more of a Neolithic man?
"I'm basically a paleo eater during training, and then I'm a scavenger, like a great white shark would be, eating anything that I can find, preferably chocolate stuff and fried cream cheese. I really do enjoy my naughty food as much as my healthy kicks."
When you're in scavenger mode, eating whatever you can between fights, are there any paleo foods you can't give up, even when you're allowed to eat at the Chinese Buffet?
"I love beef jerky, I find it to be a great snack food. Beef jerky and nuts. I really like almonds. That kind of stuff for me is awesome snackage. Nuts bring in a lot of calories so I can't eat too many of those when I'm training, but that's something I enjoy. Peanut butter, holy crap, that is the bees' knees."
How did you decide that paleo diet would be good for a caveman fighter?
"A couple of my buddies had fights going up, and they were dropping down to lower weight classes. And the paleo diet really worked for them. I was fighting at 170 lbs at the time [welterweight], and I wasn't really cutting that much weight, so I didn't pay much mind to it. But when I started dropping down to 155 lbs, I had to cut a lot more weight. That made things different. I was like 'hey, let me try out this paleo diet, blah blah blah.' Those first couple cuts I had were really good. I just stick with what works, and it works really well for me."
Just after he signed on to fight the Bellator champion, Michael Chandler, Rickels found out his girlfriend was pregnant. I asked him what it was like evolving into a family man.
"I used my money from the Bellator tournament to buy a house. We just closed the deal on a house yesterday. I'm really excited about it. It will be where I raise a family. Man, Caveman the family guy. That's something strange to think about."
This unexpected development caused Rickels to cancel plans to move his training camp to American Kickboxing Academy in California, in favor of keeping his new family, and his training, closer to home.
"I train at Combative Sports Center in Manhattan Kansas. We have a lot of tough guys in that room. A lot of good wrestlers from Kansas. It's a good room."
How is the fight going to play out, July 31st in Rio Rancho?
"I'm gonna do a backflip and kick him him in the face and knock him out in the first ten seconds."
"Honestly, I think it's going to be a back and forth war. He's a really tenatious guy. He doesn't hold back. Neither to I. One of the things that I do better than a lot of people is I think I'm really good at rising to the occasion. If someone's pushing me I'll push back. This is a really interesting fight and I think it's going to be great one."
And how does he thank that Michael Chandler will prepare for the Caveman?
"Man I don't know. He's been pitching the first pitch at the Padres game, going to Comic Con, doing the VMA thing, the BET video awards, I don't know what he's been doing."
Are you suggesting Chandler might be looking past you?
"I mean maybe. I don't know. He doesn't want to lose. He's got a lot on the line, being the face of Bellator. I mean, I hope he's looking past me, because when that first punch lands he'll know he's in a fist fight."

William's message to England squad
The Duke of Cambridge has recorded a message of support for the England national team ahead of their World Cup adventure, and called on the nation to play its part.
Prince William met with members of the England squad in their dressing room following last night's 3-0 victory over Peru at Wembley, wishing them well for the competition and enquiring about their fitness ahead of England's opener on June 14 against Italy.
And the royal will be hoping the national side fares better than his club side - the Aston Villa supporter having endured a difficult season as the claret and blues limped to Premier League safety.
In an open message to England manager Roy Hodgson and the squad, Prince William, The FA President, said: " The World Cup is an amazing moment for the nation to come together.
"It is truly a global festival of football and where the great names take their chance to shine. I am really looking forward to seeing what happens in Brazil this summer."
Of his support for the Three Lions and the fans travelling to Brazil, he added: "Having spent some time with the England players after the Peru game at Wembley, I am sure they will be ready for the challenge.
"I wish Roy, his staff and the squad all the very best, starting with their first match against Italy on June 14.
"To the thousands of England fans making the long trip out in support, I hope you have a great time and see some amazing football."
In the video, Prince William also praised The FA's work in supporting the grass-roots level of the nation's favourite game and called for the country to enjoy playing football themselves on forthcoming Reds v Blues weekend of football celebration on June 6 and 7.
The weekend aims to inspire people of all ages and abilities to sign up and represent a red or blue team before playing football in whatever form they wish - from kickabouts in gardens to organised 5-a-side and 11-a-side matches.
The royal said both he and his son Prince George would be taking part in some capacity.
He said: "Although not everyone can play in the World Cup, people of all abilities can enjoy the simple pleasure of getting together to kick a ball around.
"I can assure you that George and I will be having a go ourselves with this special red and blue ball, one of thousands being given away by The FA. Whatever your club colours, I am sure we will all be supporting the Three Lions this summer.
"Good luck England."

HAHA ... my online petition just got a boost courtesy of TSN. Put that in your pipe and smoke it Ballswin.
Although, according the rep from the MLSE it won't matter, I still think its nice to have our voices heard.
Source - Click hereApparently we struck a nerve here. Talk of changing the Raptors name to the Huskies happened to be the most read story on TSN.ca on the day the suggestion of swapping names was put forth.
The support was overwhelming, with the vast majority agreeing with the thought that the name change from the Raptors to Huskies was the way to go.
Within hours Huskie-nation or the 'Dawg-pound' was energized.
Bram, one of those hard working dudes that you see behind the scenes on SportsCentre every night informed me of a petition that was started...http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/torontohuskies2010/
A twitter site was created... http://twitter.com/torontohuskies
Warren, a frustrated Raptors season ticket holder forwarded me a link to this facebook site requesting the Raptors be renamed the Huskies
I went to Maple Leafs Sports and Entertainment and informed them of what was happening and asked them if they'd consider the name change. Here's what Tom Anselmi, MLSE's Executive Vice-President and Chief Operating Officer had to say on the matter
"We're pleased that a lot of our fans like the Huskies third jersey. It's a great traditonal brand that has ties to Toronto's strong basketball roots. That said, there have been no discussions about changing the Raptors name permanently. It has been our name since inception and we know our fans love it and identify with it."
Fair enough. We can take it for what its worth OR we can let MLSE know its time to make the dinosaur extinct. Make your voice be heard. Sign the petition. Join the facebook group. It all helps. Remember, the Raptors are Canada's only pro hoops team so this encompasses all of Canada. Forward the petition to your friends and make your voices loud.
The numbers will make them think twice.
Go Huskies? Yes we can!

ABC News Hurricane Katrina Anniversary Poll, August 2006 (ICPSR 4664)
Principal Investigator(s): ABC News
This special topic poll, conducted August 14-20, 2006, is part of a continuing series of monthly polls that solicit public opinion on various political and social issues. The focus of this data collection was on the one-year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. Part 1, FEMA Counties, contains data from a sample of 501 adults living in counties in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama that were designated as Hurricane Katrina disaster areas. Part 2, Orleans Parish Including Oversamples, contains data on respondents living in Orleans Parish, Louisiana, including oversamples of 160 respondents contacted via landline telephones, and 120 respondents contacted via cell phones. Respondents were asked to rate the recovery efforts of federal, state, and local governments with respect to Hurricane Katrina, and how much trust and confidence they had in the federal government and the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) ability to respond to another disaster. Opinions were collected on whether Hurricane Katrina was the result of global climate change or just a severe weather event. Information was collected about the damage caused to respondents' residence and personal property, as well as the severity of the damage, how much of the losses were insured, and whether recovery had already occurred. Respondents were asked to rate the impact Hurricane Katrina had had on their life, whether they suffered a long-term negative impact on their finances, health, and emotional well-being, and whether any friends or family members were seriously injured or killed as as a result of the hurricane. A series of questions asked respondents to rate the job of groups involved with assisting recovery, such as the the United States Small Business Administration, state relief agencies, and insurance companies. Views were sought concerning whether respondents' trust in the government and fellow man was affected by the hurricane, how much they worried about another hurricane occurring, and how much extra stress was created by the possibility of another hurricane. Additional topics addressed whether race and poverty affected the recovery effort, and whether problems with the relief effort were an indication of racial inequality in the United States. Demographic variables include sex, age, race, education level, household income, political party affiliation, political philosophy, employment status, marital status, and type of residential area (e.g., urban or rural).

Unit of Observation: individual
Universe: Persons aged 18 and over living in households with landline telephones and cell phones in the counties designated as Hurricane Katrina disaster areas in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama.
(1) This poll includes two oversamples, as identified in the SAMPTYPE variable. (2) Data on respondents in Part 1 who lived in Orleans parish also appear in Part 2 and can be matched using the RESPNO variable. (3) The data available for download are not weighted and users will need to weight the data prior to analysis. (4) Original reports using these data may be found via the ABC News Polling Unit Web site. (5) System-missing values were recoded to -1. (6) The FIPS and ZIP variables were recoded for confidentiality. (7) Several codes in the variable CBSA contain diacritical marks. (8) Value labels for unknown/missing codes were added in the variables CBSATYPE, CSA, USR, REG4, STCODE, and DMA. (9) The CASEID variable was created for use with online analysis. (10) The variables PCTBLACK, PCTASIAN, PCTHISP, CONGDIST, BLOCKCNT, MSAFLAG, CSA, CBSA, METRODIV, ZIP, and NIELSMKT were converted from character to numeric. (11) According to the data collection instrument, code 3 in the variable Q909 also included respondents who answered that they had attended a technical school.
Sample: Households were selected by random-digit dialing. Within households, the respondent selected was the adult living in the household who last had a birthday and who was home at the time of the interview.
Weight: The weight variable (WTS) should be used in analyzing the data in Part 1 only. These data were weighted using demographic information from the Census to adjust for sampling and nonsampling deviations from population values. Respondents customarily were classified into one of 48 cells based on age, race, sex, and education. Weights were assigned so the proportion in each of these 48 cells matched the actual population proportion according to the Census Bureau's most recent Current Population Survey.
Mode of Data Collection: telephone interview
Extent of Processing: ICPSR data undergo a confidentiality review and are altered when necessary to limit the risk of disclosure. ICPSR also routinely creates ready-to-go data files along with setups in the major statistical software formats as well as standard codebooks to accompany the data. In addition to these procedures, ICPSR performed the following processing steps for this data collection:

King, Sherman Reintroduce Supplemental Capital Bill
Reps. Pete King (R-N.Y.) and Brad Sherman (D-Calif.) Thursday reintroduced a bill that would permit the NCUA to allow healthy and well-managed credit unions to accept supplemental forms of capital.
NASCUS said in a release that state credit union regulators have long recognized credit unions are disadvantaged by a capital structure limited to retained earnings. This legislation would provide the solution to this problem, the group said.
"NASCUS applauds the introduction of this bill and enthusiastically supports its intent and passage by Congress," said NASCUS President/CEO Mary Martha Fortney. "For NASCUS and state regulators, access to supplemental capital for credit unions has always been a matter of safety and soundness."
NAFCU President/CEO Fred Becker said capital reform is one of his organization's five key points for regulatory relief, making the bill a priority.
"We are pleased that the legislation preserves the not-for-profit structure of credit unions and ensures that ownership remains with the credit union's members," he said.
CUNA President/CEO Bill Cheney said the bill would improve safety and soundness by allowing credit unions to develop a capital cushion, reducing risk to the NCUSIF. H.R. 3993, a supplemental capital bill introduced during the 112th Congress, had 45 co-sponsors but never advanced beyond committee. No companion bill was introduced in the Senate.

It's a common practice that seems like
generosity, but could lead to your home being invaded by federal agents.
Recent cases underscore the dangerous nature of having
an unsecured Wi-Fi router.
I. A Rude Awakening
On March 7 at 6:30 a.m. a resident of Buffalo, New
York received the scare of a lifetime. With a thunderous crash his front
door was broken, awaking the man and his wife. Putting a robe on and
rushing downstairs he saw federal agents wearing a strange acronym I-C-E (which
he would later discover stood for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement).
An ICE agent charged the stairs, hurling him down
it, leaving him cut and bruised. The man's lawyer, Barry Covert, recalls
the agents screamed at him, "Get down! Get down on the ground!", to
which the man screamed back, "Who are you? Who are you?"
Armed with assault weapons the agents began to
hurl slurs at the injured suspect that gave him the first inclination of what
was going on. "Pedophile!" and "pornographer!" they
He dressed at gunpoint in the bathroom and was
escorted to an interrogation room at a government facility. Agents
accused him of using the name "Doldrum" and downloading pornographic
The man was flabbergasted.
He recalls the agent grilling him, stating,
"We know who you are! You downloaded thousands of images at 11:30 last
He recalls arguing, "No, I didn't. Somebody
else could have but I didn't do anything like that."
Unconvinced an agent sneered at him, "You're
a creep ... just admit it."
II. You've Got the Wrong Man!
Only he wasn't a creep.
After having his family's laptops, iPads, and
iPhones seized, federal agents would later conclude that the man was right --
he had no stash of child porn. However, they would later discover that
his 25-year-old neighbor who was accessing the man's Wi-Fi was downloading
explicit videos and images.
That neighbor, John Luchetti, was arrested
March 17.
The irony is that if police had conducted a more
thorough initial investigation they likely would have had a far different
encounter with the first man. Mr. Luchetti was tracked down because
"Doldrum" also accessed two internet protocol (IP) addresses at State University of New York at Buffalo using a
secure token. When the university revealed the student's identity,
federal agents realized that the true "Doldrum" was a man living in
an apartment complex very close to their original suspect.
To be fair, Mr. Luchetti himself has pleaded not
guilty to the distribution of child pornography.
The case was a tough one because in theory the
feds could have done everything right in gaining
warranted entry in the original suspect's home. The feds began their
investigation on February 11 when they received peer-to-peer file transfers
from "Doldrum" and grabbed the IP address.
They tracked the IP downloading the files to that
address, thanks to cooperation from the internet service provider. So in
theory, the homeowner could have been the primary suspect.
On the other hand, as mentioned,
"Doldrum" also connected from other IPs and a thorough investigation
would have revealed that.
U.S. Attorney William Hochul and Immigration and
Customs Enforcement Special Agent in Charge Lev Kubiak reportedly have
apologized to the homeowner.
Amazingly, in today's era of "fast-food
lawsuits" the homeowner is not suing the government. He just wants
to share his story with the media as a warning to other homeowners and to
pressure federal agents to be more thorough in their searches.
III. Unsecured Wi-Fi: Not Uncommon
According to a study conducted by Wakefield Research on behalf
of the Wi-Fi Alliance, approximately 32
percent of adults have used someone's unsecured Wi-Fi connection without their
knowledge or permission. The study, which polled 1,054 Americans age
18 and older, also estimates that America has 201 million Wi-Fi
Ironically 40 percent of people said they were
more likely to give their house key to someone than their Wi-Fi key. The
admission illustrates the dichotomy between those with some knowledge of
security and those who fail to understand the repercussions of leaving your
virtual door open.
Some understand the risks and willing open their
connections, though.
Rebecca Jeschke, a spokeswoman for the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a San
Francisco-based nonprofit that takes on cyberspace civil liberties issues
argues that people shouldn't be afraid to leave their networks unsecure.
In an
interview with the Associate Press, she states, "I think it's
convenient and polite to have an open Wi-Fi network. Public Wi-Fi is for
the common good and I'm happy to participate in that — and lots of people
Orin Kerr,
a professor at George Washington
University Law School, disagrees. He states, "[Whether you're
guilty of downloads on open networks] you look like the suspect."
He adds that accessing open networks without
permission is a legal gray area today. He explains, "The question is
whether it's unauthorized access and so you have to say, 'Is an open wireless
point implicitly authorizing users or not? We don't know. The law
prohibits unauthorized access and it's just not clear what's authorized with an
open unsecured wireless."
The Federal government for its part argues that
homeowners shouldn't leave their networks open. The Computer Emergency Readiness Team -- a
federal organization -- suggests users disable their networks from broadcasting
their presence. They also suggest that users change the default passwords
(which are widely known) and keep their routers patched (to prevent exploits).
At the end of the day, though, many users won't have the knowledge and
skills to follow through on such suggestions.
It's also important to consider that there are
ways to break into most consumer "secured" network routers, as well.
Having password-protected encrypted traffic is no guarantee that your
connection is completely safe from savvy cyber-miscreants.
However, it's perhaps best not to make things easy
for abusers by leaving your connection wide open.
Stories of bad experiences are mounting.
A Sarasota, Fla. man had a cybersquatter download tens of thousands
of child porn images from his marina's network by boosting his signal using a
potato chip can. And in North Syracuse, N.Y. a man this spring was
greeted by authorities who suspected he was downloading child porn. It
turned out it was his neighbor, who was arrested April 12.
Aside from law enforcement and child porn,
thousands have received
threats from the Recording Industry Association of America and
other industry groups for infringed copyrighted materials that were downloaded
over their connection. Some of these individuals were forced into payouts
totaling thousands of dollars.
The issue of open networks and how law enforcement
should deal with them is an issue that seems certain to only grow as time
