In the aftermath of the custom Sound Blaster driver fiasco, both Daniel_K—the modder who wrote the modified drivers—and Creative have spoken out and elaborated on the specifics of the situation and what they plan to do next. Wired blogger Rob Beschizza e-mailed Daniel_K to learn a little more about the drivers, and he received a lengthy reply from the modder (whose full name is Daniel Kawakami) with details about exactly what he and Creative did.
According to Kawakami, Creative "purposedly modified the Audigy drivers to disable some features when Vista is detected and also purposedly introduced some bugs to prevent some XP utilities from running." What his custom drivers did in that instances was re-enable the "lost" features, such as Dolby/DTS decoding, CMSS2 and Stereo Surround effects, DVD Audio support, the hardware MIDI synthesizer, and the built-in equalizer.
Kawakami's effort did however go beyond simply restoring disabled features. He says he enabled the software-based X-Fi Crystallizer audio processor to run on non-X-Fi products, allowed the ALchemy software to run on "any sound device from any vendor," and modified drivers to "transform any Audigy LS/SE/Value and Live! 24-bit into a X-Fi Xtreme Audio"—modifications he says Creative didn't like. He also asked for donations, although he claims he only raised $146 and that he planned to use that money to buy more sound cards in order to continue his work.
Creative's initial response was to pull all of his work from the official forums and to send him a cease-and-desist message, but Kawakami now says, "I've been told they will allow me to continue with my mods, except the 'forbidden' ones. . . . I'm also allowed to receive donations."
Indeed, Creative posted a message on its forums in order to re-assert its position. The company starts off by saying it has read the "strong feedback" about its move, and that it failed to make it clear in its initial cease-and-desist note that it does in fact support "independent driver development by independent third parties." The firm adds that Windows Vista's new audio architecture and Microsoft's certification process for audio drivers make it "very difficult for Creative to develop updates for all past products" and that "outside developers have been very helpful." However, Creative says it frowns on "unauthorized distribution of other companies' property."
This somewhat ambiguous message ends with the promise, "We hope to work out a mutually agreeable method for working with Daniel_k in supporting his efforts in driver development. Going forward, we are committed to doing a better job of working more closely with third parties to support their development for our products and our customers."

To see what the future has in store for us, Jimmy Kimmel invited four children to sit down and talk all things politics and gender with him. After all, today's kids are tomorrow's leaders.
"Our best hope for more equality is our next generation [...]," Kimmel explains into the camera. "Whether we like it or not."
Turns out, these children might be tiny, but they are incredibly opinionated already. And when Kimmel asks them questions like, "Do you think women can do anything men can do?" and "Do you think we should have a lady president?" they have some concerning answers.
"Women are not presidents," one of the boys tells Kimmel.
Umm... Excuse us, young man?
"They are too girly. They'll make, like, girl rules. Like, free makeup in the world," another one adds.
The two girls next to him are clearly not having it.
That didn't sound quite right, so Kimmel invited a very special guest to put things into perspective for these little nuggets.
After asking the kids, "What would I have to do to convince you guys there are women that could be president, and might very well be president of the United States?" Kimmel brings out Clinton who provides some much needed insight. And hopefully, the kids in this episode, and those watching, learned something very valuable about gender and politics.
Thanks, Hilary. We all needed that.

Flow International Corporation's (FLOW) financial results for the fiscal fourth quarter 2013 (ended Apr 30, 2013), which were brought forth recently in a preliminary data released on June 7, were quite a disappointment.
The company seems to be a victim of uneven customer demand as a few markets were strong while others maintained a cautious approach, primarily because of the prevailing global uncertainties. Worries emanating from market conditions have impacted Flow International's fourth quarter results and are likely to have a spill over on the fiscal first quarter 2014 as well. Preliminary outcome of the fourth quarter and initiatives undertaken by the company are briefed below:
Management of Flow International estimates revenue in the fiscal fourth quarter to be roughly $58 million, representing an 8.5% year over year decline and operating profit to be roughly at a breakeven level versus a $2.4 million profit in the year-ago quarter. Revenue results in the first quarter 2014 are likely to be somewhat similar to the sequential quarter while operating income may reach $2.0 million.
Flow International has also undertaken a few initiatives to reduce its operating costs and save $9 million annually. Also, an additional $4 million savings are expected from a new product line launched recently. All these savings are expected to be realized by the end of fiscal year 2014. Restructuring charges and other non-recurring costs of $1.0 million related to the cost saving initiatives will be recorded in the fiscal first quarter 2014.
Along with the results and outlook, Flow International also announced amendments in its 3-yr $25.0 million Senior Credit Facility Agreement. The new agreement is a $40.0 million 4-year Credit Facility, due to mature on May 31, 2017. Another important announcement was the commencement of a review process—options include sale of the company as well— to enhance shareholders value. UBS Investment Bank will act as the financial advisor in the evaluation procedure.
Flow International is one of the leading manufacturers of industrial waterjet machines and currently has a $178 million market capitalization. The stock carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). Other stocks to watch out for are Lincoln Electric Holdings Inc. (LECO) with a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), Actuant Corporation (ATU) and Stanley Black & Decker, Inc. (SWK).

Quote from the review:
"I have worked my way through the ranks of digital cameras over the last four years. I started with a tiny Fuji MX1300 1.2MP with NO features whatsoever, I soon tired of that and upgraded to an Olympus C40z which was great; it did so much more and I even shot my son's wedding photos with it – everyone was happy.
Then I got the MuchBiggerMegaPixel bug and upgraded to a Fuji s602Pro, this nearly satisfied my cravings as a photographer but there were things (actually, as an astronomer) that I still couldn't do, like long exposures. So, a penny saving exercise and several eBay sales of junk later and I now own, not only the Nikon D70 with the superb 18-70mm DX lens, but also the 70-300mm G lens! "

You've probably heard the expression that someone was so wild, it's like they were "raised by animals" before, but have you ever considered the fact that this has actually happened to people throughout history?
When these children were faced with situations of neglect, abandonment, or abduction, they had to learn to fend for themselves in the wilderness. Fortunately, a few animals were there to help.
1. Marie-Angélique Memmie Le Blanc, the Wild Girl of Champagne
In the 1700s, Le Blanc was found holding a club as she wandered into the village of Songi, France. When the villagers caught her and tried to feed her, they were shocked to witness her eating the raw, dead bodies of animals that were meant to be cooked. She eventually learned to speak French and was able to read and write as an adult. Her life in the wild living among wild animals became the subject of a biography by French writer Marie-Catherine Homassel Hecquet.
2. Rochom P'ngieng, the Cambodian Jungle Girl
Rochom P'ngieng was found coming out of a jungle in 2007 in Cambodia, and is believed to have disappeared from her family home 19 years before that. She only knew a few words and crawled instead of walking, likely because she took cues from the animals all around her. She never fully adjusted to society and made multiple attempts to run back into the jungle.
3. Oxana Malaya
When she was three years old, Malaya was abandoned outside of her home by her alcoholic parents. She was cold, so she crawled into a nearby kennel where dogs took her in and began raising her. She lived with them for five years before a concerned neighbor called the police. She couldn't speak. The girl barked and walked on all fours. She has since learned to behave like a human.
4. Marina Chapman
Chapman was kidnapped from her Colombian village and abandoned, surviving by living with capuchin monkeys. She couldn't speak, and was later found by hunters who then sold her to a brothel. She was eventually rescued and adopted at the age of 14. As an adult, she wrote an autobiography about her experience called "The Girl With No Name."
5. Peter the Wild Boy
In 1725, Peter was found walking on all fours in the Hertswold Forest near Hamelin, Germany. He couldn't speak at all and was only able to learn a couple of words in his lifetime. He was moved from place to place until he was taken to a farm to live out the rest of his years. He died at 72.
6. John Ssebunya
In 1988, after witnessing his father murdering his mother, Ssebunya ran into the jungle in Uganda, where a group of vervet monkeys took him in and brought him food. After he was found in 1991 at five years old, he was adopted and learned how to behave like a human. He is now fully adjusted to society.
7. Ivan Mishukov
When he was four, Mishukov ran away from his mother and her abusive boyfriend and survived on the streets of Russia by scavenging food. When he gave some of his food to a group of dogs, they accepted him as a member of their pack. He lived with them for two years before police found him, and he later learned how to speak.
8. Dina Sanichar
In the 1800s, hunters discovered Sanichar living with wolves inside of a cave in India. The six-year-old refused to eat cooked meals, preferring raw meat instead. He was never able to adjust to human society and he died in 1895.
9. Leopard Boy
Leopard Boy was said to have been stolen as a baby and raised by a leopard alongside her cubs. He was found three years later by a man who took him in and cared for him. He walked on all fours and was watched closely by his caretaker, who worried that he would run back into the jungle.
(via All Day)
Pretty jaw-dropping, right? I can't even imagine what it must have been like for these people. I'm glad that at least a few of them got to lead normal lives after everything they went through.

The American Lung Association of Southeast Florida raised $5,800 Saturday during a three-hour Fitness Fun-a-thon, an aerobics and exercise extravaganza at Palm Beach Junior College gym that drew 100 people.
The proceeds help pay for a special ``Students Teach Students`` program sponsored by the Lung Association. In the 5-year-old program, 150 high school students speak to 5th graders about the health risks of smoking. The students visit schools in Palm Beach, Martin, St. Lucie, Indian River and Okeechobee counties, said program administrator Kathy Johnson.
Exercise instructors from local health spas, including Body Electric, Fitness Connection and Inger`s Workout, led the third annual fitness fund-raiser.
Participants had to raise a minimum of $25 from sponsors to sign up for the body workshop.
Bonnie Hubscher, co-owner and exercise instructor of Stayin Alive Fitness Center, collected the largest amount of donations, $681. She won round-trip air fare to Jamaica and a week`s stay at a resort there. Other prizes given away included a $100 gift certificate from Danceworks Plus; a weekend stay at the Holiday Inn in Boca Raton and exercise equipment.

To demonstrate P7 Mobile Hi-Fi Headphones, Bowers & Wilkins head of engineering Stuart Nevill has curated a mix of tracks in master tape-quality from Society of Sound.
Dub Colossus – Dub In A Time Of Cholera
Great recording and great dub is a very rare combo but this is the genuine article. Listen out for how P7 manages to deliver both the tight, solid bass and the radiant horns that come together to form a shining
multi-layered sound. Bass is the place, that much is crystal clear.
Charlie Winston – Unlike Me
Singer songwriter with melodic talents alert! Charlie Winston's self deprecatory love song is eloquent, charming and original with a sound that just licks your lobes. The subtle rhythms delivered by the prominent acoustic guitar are revealed in all their toe-tapping detail thanks to P7s natural, accurate delivery.
Samuel Yirga – Nou Se Soleil
This brief piece is intriguing. The song, performed by the Creole Choir of Cuba, echoes Black Gold of the Sun from the same album, but Yirga's piano adds unsettling dark undercurrents. P7's precision allows you to pick out and follow the overlapping vocals that make this piece work so well.
Little Axe – Take A Stroll
Skip McDonald rolls the blues with dub bass lines and comes up with a classic sound. Listen out for how P7 delivers on the artist's desire for Take a Stroll to sound like a live recording, thanks to clever use of reverb that comes across clearly because of the headphone's ability to deliver subtle details.
Three Cane Whale – Fall of Snow
Get the Blessing trumpet player Pete Judge joins Paul Bradley on guitar and Alex Vann from Spiro to produce a radiant, pastoral piece that's underscored by running water. Listening through P7 helps reveal the natural tonality of the acoustic instrumentation that makes the track an aural delight.
John Metcalfe – Centre
Metcalfe is a virtuoso violinist with a penchant for moving the spirit. Here, P7 delivers the subtle differences in tone of the plucked strings that would otherwise leave this exhilarating piece sounding somewhat flat. If the detail and dynamics don't raise hairs check your pulse.
All recordings are, or have been, available on Society of Sound as master-tape quality downloads.

On Friday night, Augusta High School basketball coach Robin Kelsch was set to coach in his last game before become the school's principal next year.
Kelsch, obviously beloved by his students and peers, was on the short end of a 99-69 score with time winding down in the season finale against Scott High School.
Scott Coach, and Kelsch's long-time friend Brad Carr, along with Kelsch and the game officials contrived this play to close out the game. Kelsch received the ball with just seconds remaining and hit a "buzzer beater" three-pointer.

text: If you were on the Internet at all yesterday, then you have already seen The Dark Knight Rises trailer because it was the only thing going on. We didn't post it because it was Monday, and we do our trailer recaps on Friday, and IMPORTANT RULES ARE IMPORTANT RULES. But then we remembered that Friday is basically Christmas and we're not doing a trailer recap this Friday, so if we ever want to talk about this trailer THE TIME IS NOW. So? Guys? GUYS? Not baaaaaad. Very mysterious! You cannot figure out from this trailer who wins the football game! Is it the Gotham Alligators or the Pandora Gleep Gloops?! One thing I will say, though, is that they better work out this Bane shit by next summer. You cannot understand a word that dude says. And, hey, Christopher Nolan, we can SEE that he's wearing a creepy mask, OK? The effect of him wearing a creepy mask won't be ruined by being able to understand his dialog. I've watched this trailer a few times now and as far as I can tell he says, "When Gotham is in ashes, lkajlsdieowwfx godfasodfieiesd." Is that right? Did I get it right? (If you haven't watched, somehow, a) you're fired and b) you can see it in HD on the Apple website.) So, what did you guys think?

WVU to host 40th Annual Hal Wanger Family Medicine Conference
Three-day event to kick off on Sept. 18 at Lakeview
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The West Virginia University School of Medicine Department of Family Medicine and the WVU schools of Dentistry, Nursing, and Pharmacy are teaming up to host the 40th Annual Hal Wanger Family Medicine Conference Sept. 18-20 at Lakeview Golf Resort and Spa in Morgantown.
The conference's speakers will address a variety of topics of interest to family physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and other healthcare providers. Among the more than 20 topics to be covered during the conference are: cancer, depression, coronary artery disease, stroke, osteoporosis, sleep apnea, oral health, and acupuncture.
"This conference has been a wonderful tradition for 40 years, and we are looking forward to its continued success," G. Anne Cather, M.D., co-director of the Hal Wanger Conference and professor in the WVU departments of Family Medicine and Emergency Medicine, said. "Each year, we bring to our colleagues up-to-date evidence-based, clinical information that enables them to provide the best possible care to their patients in West Virginia. This year will be no exception."
In addition to the lectures, a 40th Anniversary Reception and Banquet will be held on Sept. 18. Cocktail hour begins at 6 p.m.
"The conference will also provide a unique opportunity for our alumni and friends to see one another and share pleasant memories from times past," Dana E. King, M.D., co-director of the Hal Wanger Conference and professor and chair of the WVU Department of Family Medicine, said.
The conference is named in honor of Halvard Wanger, M.D., who organized an extensive scientific assembly to celebrate the Eastern Panhandle Medical Association's 50th anniversary in 1956.
Participants praised the Potomac-Shenandoah Postgraduate Institute's outstanding speakers, who had been invited because senior students at medical colleges in the eastern United States voted them best lecturers in their respective fields. This method for developing a roster of outstanding lecturers worked very well, and subsequent Institutes drew many participants.
Dr. Wanger directed the annual Institute through 1974. When Wanger cancelled the Institute in 1975 because of health reasons, the WVU Department of Family Medicine assumed responsibility for continuing the fall conference. John Traubert, M.D., then the newly appointed chair of Family Medicine, assumed the role of course director for the newly named Hal Wanger Family Medicine Conference, which was held at WVU. Dr. Traubert considered Wanger the "founding father" of continuing medical education in West Virginia.
Since the original setting of the Postgraduate Institute was West Virginia's Eastern Panhandle, local orchards supplied apples for refreshments, a tradition that has been continued at WVU.
The deadline to register for the conference is Sept. 11. For more information on the conference, including registration, lodging, and continuing education, visit http://medicine.hsc.wvu.edu/fammed/Education/Hal-Wanger-Family-Medicine-Conference-2014.

Kenton Slash Demon
Kenton Slash Demon, the duo of Silas Moldenhawer and Jonas Kenton, released their latest 12" EP, 'TT' / 'Dok', in March 2016 on Future Classic.
'TT' / 'Dok' is the follow up to 2015's inventive 'Harpe' / 'Syko' 12" EP that earned the duo raves from XLR8R, Stereogum, SPIN, Time Out New York (ranked 'Harpe' as #14 in "The best dance songs of 2015") and Beatport (ranked Round's 'Syko' Slow Response Mix as #10 in Best Of 2015: Electronica). Kenton Slash Demon also saw support from BBC Radio 1 & 6 with airplay by B.Traits, Annie Mac and Nemone. Additionally, they charted highly on the Spotify Viral U.S., Australia and Global charts. 'Harpe' and 'Syko' have generated a combined 1.5 million, SoundCloud streams that has helped Kenton Slash Demon to the top of the Hype Machine popular chart several times.
Moldenhawer and Kenton, both children of the early 80s, grew up alongside each other in Copenhagen. In their teenage years they discovered electronic music and were inspired to start spinning records and producing tracks together. Years later they formed the indie-electro outfit, When Saints Go Machine, whose music won them commercial success and a wide range of awards in their home country, especially as "Producers Of The Year" for their international debut album 'Konkylie', that peaked at #45 on Billboard's 'Uncharted / Next Big Sound' list in America.
During work on the When Saints Go Machine debut, Kenton Slash Demon released their critically acclaimed 'Khattabi' EP on Tartelet Records. A steady succession of high quality EPs followed on the Danish label: 'Sun' EP (2010), 'Matter' EP (2010), 'Daemon' EP (2011) and the 'Ore' single (2012), garnering the duo widespread recognition and praise from critics and peers alike. Fans over the years include DJ Koze, Dixon, Claude Von Stroke, Brodinski, Luciano, Flume, John Talabot, Gold Panda and Michael Mayer.
Kenton Slash Demon's sound is both organic and futuristic, and their obvious skills
take their productions further than the typical frame and dramaturgy of a club track.
They want to create soundtracks for clubs as well as music that you can listen to on your home stereo, thus blurring the space between the public and private experience.
"If you need something to soundtrack your last seven minutes on earth, throw on 'Harpe.' It's a song that encompasses the full spectrum of human emotion, coating every possibility in a glaze of dark rapture" - Stereogum
"'Syko' is a beautiful, organic slice of house music reminiscent of the likes DJ Koze and his Pampa label" - XLR8R

Kenton Slash Demon have produced a special DJ mix for Kaltblut magazine.

Welcome to the twenty-first century gold rush. Or lithium, chromite or iron: take your pick. This week the Toronto Convention Center turned into the set of Bonanza, as over 30,000 miners, prospectors and processers convened for the annual meeting and trade show of the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada (PDAC), the largest such gathering in the world.
Not surprisingly, the political class turned out in force. The federal government dispatched forty Conservative MPs, its biggest contingent ever. Treasury Board President and Minister for FedNor Tony Clement kicked off the festivities Sunday night, speaking about the development of Northern Ontario's "Ring of Fire". Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver gave the next morning's keynote. Newly-minted Liberal Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne cut the ribbon on the Ontario Pavilion Monday, while Parti Quebecois Natural Resources Minister Martine Ouellette held court at a Quebec reception the previous evening.
Ottawa, Ontario and Quebec all have high stakes in the lucrative mining game. The federal government wants to slay the deficit, stave off the threat of America's fiscal cliff and boost international trade. Ontario and Quebec — both 'have-not' provinces — are grappling with the decline in their manufacturing sectors. Resource extraction could provide the ticket to prosperity for all — but it comes with a host of challenges.
Those include opposition by environmental movements and First Nations. It's no accident that Premier Wynne opened her remarks by acknowledging that the conference was taking place on the territory of the Mississaugas of New Credit. The Ring of Fire, which boasts over 30,000 claims and could yield one fourth of the world's chromite, affects First Nations like the Webequie and Marten Falls, who blockaded landing strips in the area in 2010.
That same year the Liberal government of Dalton McGuinty passed the Far North Act, which gives First Nations a role in determining the development of public lands in northern Ontario. But the Act has come under fire both from aboriginal groups and the opposition Progressive Conservatives. The latter claim it creates uncertainty for investors and promise to scrap it if elected. The province currently ranks sixteenth among the world's mining destinations, according to the latest Fraser Institute Report on the subject, but would rank eighth were it not for land restrictions in the Act.
iPolitics asked Ontario Minister of Natural Resources Michael Gravelle whether the Act impedes development. "I truly don't agree," he said. "While I recognize that a number of First Nations and certainly a number of Chamber organizations have expressed some concerns about it, we have also seen significant progress made on a piece of legislation that is actually unprecedented, in that it actually partners for the first time with First Nations in the northern part of the province to give them decision-making power on how their lands are used, whether for regional development purposes or protected cultural purposes. That's never happened before."
Meanwhile, in Quebec, the green lobby is girding for a fight on the PQ government's take on the previous Liberal administration's Plan Nord, which seeks to develop northern mineral resources.

For the past couple of years I'd heard stories of a U.S. government monetary facility located somewhere in Renton.
Was it a mint? A treasury? A bank?
Where was it located? By The Landing? Near Boeing?
These "stories" seemed as surreal as pirates returning from sea yelling stories about beautiful women with fish tales.
So I decided to find out if the stories were true. I mean where exactly is this big bank in Renton?
"You can't miss the building as there's nothing else around it except open land," Steven Fisher, regional program manager at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco and my designated tour guide told me in an email.
Perched on its own road surrounded by a fully fenced 11 acres of what was formerly the southern end of Longacres I found The Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. The Fed bought the land from Boeing in 2008 and built a new high-tech facility (which from the distance resembles a college campus) that opened in 2011.
I wasn't sure what to expect when I pulled my minivan up to the security outpost. Things got serious pretty quick when a federal police officer with a big gun greeted me. Behind him and a set of intimidating gates were these huge cement pylons sticking out of the ground like Greek columns.
After my identity and purpose were verified, the officer conducted a full search inside my vehicle.
After I was cleared, some magic button was pressed, the arms of the gate lifted and the concrete pylons slowly descended back down into the earth.
This was serious security.
It was a beautiful summer day as I walked toward the entrance across immaculately manicured grounds in a creepy, where-are-all-the-birds-George Orwell-1984-kind of quiet.
Where were all the people? I wondered.
Inside the building a guard encased in a bullet-proof steel box breathed into a microphone.
"It's like airplane security. Place all your belongings on the conveyer belt and walk through the metal detector."
Clearing another security checkpoint I walked inside the plush inner sanctum — wondering if it was OK to throw my gum in the empty pristine garbage can.
Still being watched, I decided to go for it. It was just gum after all, not explosive C4 . . . at least I hoped.
Waiting for my guide I started to snoop around at the historical photos and documents on the wall. They told the story of how the Federal Reserve Building San Francisco had come to Renton after 57 years in downtown Seattle.
I had moved on to the display case of five and ten thousand bills when Fisher came down.
"Do regular people ever come here?" I asked as we took the stairs up to the conference room.
"We do tours."
Judging by the level of security and the absolute absence of any people it was hard to imagine throngs of people walking through these halls.
"Not many," Fisher added.
"Has the bank ever been robbed?" I asked.
"No." Fisher said holding the door to the conference room where I would watch a historical power-point presentation. There was a lot to learn, but bottom line: the Federal Reserve is a collection of 12 regional and 24 branches strategically located across the country.
They are the banks' bank. Which in laymen's terms, they hold tons of money.
When I had asked enough of what I felt were serious questions, I got to the only one I was really interested in.
"Show me the $$$$!" I wanted to cry out Cuba Gooding Jr./Tom Cruise style.
But settled on, "So, umm, exactly how much is in the vault?"
I tried not to look like a salivating jackal.
"I can't say," Fisher said. Sensing my disappointment he added, "A lot. Are you ready to see?"
The vault itself is three stories encased in concrete reminiscent of the underground bunker beneath the White House where the president is ushered in the event of a nuclear war.
We waited in front of a complicated looking revolving door for my police escort.
"Sorry, but you can't bring your notebook and pencil. In the counting room you'll need to keep your hands out of your pockets." Fisher said, his eyes pointing at my hands stuffed in my jean pockets.
"Of course, now that you've told me not to put my hands in my pockets I won't be able to stop," I said trying to sound flip as we walked through more clicking locks, plate glass, and video cameras.
Knowing your every move is being monitored as a potential thief is intimidating and very exciting.
At last I saw people. According to Fisher, there are 95 employees at the branch.
The movies can't prepare you for what I saw in the "cash rooms."
The cash rooms are bullet-proof rooms where employees process cash that is brought in by armored car. Pallets of cash deposits are brought into a room accessible from the outside. Once the armored car has exited, the outer door is closed and the door on the inside is opened for Fed employees to verify the deposit and count the cash. The reverse is done when banks need money.
Since I wasn't allowed to take a picture, imagine the laundry bins that housekeepers use in hotels. The cash room is filled with those laundry bins but instead of cleaning sprays, broom handles and toiletries the cash bins are loaded with bundles of cash that are stored in the vault.
The vault is the epicenter of the whole operation and when I peeked inside the image that came to mind was the government warehouse where they took the crated ark in "Raiders of the Lost Ark." The vault is fully automated with a state-of-the-art robotics system that handles the carts.
According to Fisher, Each cart can hold 420 bundles and the vault has the capacity to hold 1,800 carts.
If the bundles were $100 bills, each cart would hold approximately $46 million.
According to research, approximately $1.1 billion per month is processed at the vault, although Fed officials will not disclose the exact dollar amount held at any given time.
"I told you the photo would be limited," Steven said not unsympathetically at the end of our tour. It was like he had read my mind: the photo op I wanted was of me sitting criss-cross apple sauce atop a mountain of cash.
Instead, he clicked a picture of me standing outside of the building in the only "safe" shot that didn't reveal any secrets.
Despite any proof, I've had a great time recounting my tale of adventure at the Federal Reserve Bank. Describing mountains of cash, 007 security . . . it was all very exciting and I realized sounded a bit like the pirate tales of exotic mermaids.

AHES partnerships are organized under the umbrella of The Window Project. The Project is a knowledge capture and knowledge management venture of AHES. The contribution of each partner engaged through The WIndow Project will be documented, coordinated, monitored and displayed in the AHES Constellation Partnership Suite.AHES hosted a working partnership breakfast in the spring of 2011. The purpose of the breakfast was to introduce potential partners to the AHES vision for the school and community; give them a window seat to see our students and faculty in action and ultimately hear their thoughts about ways to help AHES its vision and mission. Approximately 30 red envelope with gold seal invitations were sent to various stakeholders, including faith-based organizations, business, middle schools, high schools, colleges, universities, and other non-profit organizations. We also honored and heard from existing partners. Approximately 25 people attended, including AHES faculty, staff and students. The following partners have committed to clean windows to help us see the possibilities; lift windows so that we can get fresh ideas; and window watch to see the transformation our efforts will achieve.
Since that time, we have hosted an annual partnership breakfast. This partnership breakfast was facilitated by Mrs. Brenda Gillard our Educational Associate.

Ok, that's it, someone get me an Oculus Rift!
A new demo game for the VR headset is a classic we all know and love, us older gamers at least. The original NES title The Legend of Zelda has made its way to the Oculus Rift in all of its 8-bit glory. If you're one of the lucky few who have an Oculus Rift, you can try out the demo now. How I envy you!
While far from complete, the Rift version of Legend of Zelda contains the overworld and the first dungeon. But the developers are planning on releasing the version in March.
Check out the video below to see a video of the first-person yet still pixellated Oculus Rift version of The Legend of Zelda.

Invizimals: The Alliance and Invizimals: The Lost Kingdom will be coming to Vita and PS3 respectively in the US. The news was revealed via a post on the PlayStation Blog. Both games were released in the European and Australian/NZ market this past October.
The Alliance builds upon the gameplay of the original PSP title, allowing you to collect and battle monsters called Invizimals through augmented reality.The Lost Kingdom is a more traditional action-adventure title in which the main character, Hiro, uses a device called the Z-com to transform into 16 different monsters.
In the post, Sony's associate product marketing manager Derek Osgood explains that The Lost Kingdom will give you the ability to "play cooperatively with a story that syncs with the Vita game, Invizimals: The Alliance, and fight in co-op battle arenas with up to four cross-play opponents on PS3 or PS Vita."
The Invisimals franchise has grown significantly in Europe, spawning toys, an iOS spin-off title and even an animated TV series.
IGN's Jack DeVries enjoyed the original Invizimals game's use of augmented reality but felt that the game itself was hindered by the poor camera and repetitive gameplay.
No release date was given but Osgood encouraged fans to expect more info "later this year."

There have been some great responses to my list of 20 all-time Senate giants. Richard Russell (D-Ga), who was on my last draft of a list, received support. So did Henry "Scoop" Jackson (D-Wash), whom I somehow managed completely to forget about. Jackson was a giant and would rate serious consideration in a revised list.
Others receiving serious mention were Daniel Patrick Moynihan (D-NY), Jesse Helms (R-NC), Mike Mansfield (D-Mont.), William Proxmire (D-Wisc.), Henry Cabot Lodge, Sr. (R-Mass.), and Nelson Aldrich (R-RI). I'm not convinced on the first four. Lodge is a strong candidate for inclusion. As for Aldrich, I need to do some homework.
My favorite shout was for Johnny Iselin (?-Manchuria).
Of those on my list, Bob Dole recieved the most push back. Dole was a late addition, and given his lack of "the vision thing," he'd probably be the first to go in a revised list.

Dispatches From the Republican Convention
The most confounding of the Great Mysteries, to the male of our species, is what do women talk about over their mochas and muffins. Well, we mostly talk about them. The rest of the time, we talk about school, and prom, and kids. At the opening night of the GOP convention, the Republicans gave the world a taste of what it's like to, you know, hang out with girls, like Laura Bush, and Claudia Kirkley, and Conna Craig, and Elaine Chao. Just hanging out in shorty pajamas, making prank calls, and dancing to the Temptations, and talking about, well ... boys and what fine grandfathers they'll make someday.
Oh Hillary, what hast thou wrought?
Mrs. Bush spoke from a classroom onstage, the better to illustrate her lead-balloon statement that "education is the living room of my life." Making use of the time-honored good-girl device of denigrating her own professional skills, she hid her professional passion behind Charlotte's web. She framed her husband's core convictions through the lens of "family scrapbooks." And in the only false note of her speech, she expressed the hope that the president of the United States might "sometime" be a woman. In short, Mrs. Bush used every technique in the Class of '66 yearbook to render herself, and national education issues, smaller than a breadbox.
Later, when George W. Bush spoke down from his Orwellian perch high in a classroom in Ohio, he told us he'd once promised Laura she'd never have to make speeches. Good girls don't like to make speeches. Good girls talk about policy through the tulle of scrapbooks and childhood dolls. Thus, it was Slumber Party Night as the GOP attempted to woo this year's soccer mom (the scooter mom?) through the pink crinoline of "women's issues." Women and minority men invoked "discipline" and "hope" in a Benetton-flavored event called "Leave No Child Behind"—a phrase I liked the first time, when Marian Wright Edelman used it during the Reagan-Bush years.
Although the theme of the evening was education, not one speaker mentioned teen pregnancy. No one saw fit to decry guns in school. (There is a delicious moment, in the platform, when the GOP prescribes vouchering kids out of "dangerous schools," where all those other, bad kids are presumably exercising their Second Amendment rights.) Education was addressed along a narrow little bandwidth, of mentoring, literacy, good parenting, and nondenominational Christian philosophy. Your average day in Middlemarch; women doing good works, as money and taxes go to important men-stuff.
Almost all the speakers spoke approvingly of vouchers, which—unlike mentoring, volunteerism, and bedtime stories—reflect real policy. But giving a child a hug, a mentor, and a voucher does not an education policy make. Indeed it makes a "soft" issue almost transparent. Only Gen. Colin Powell tried to bridge the chasm between "soft" issues and hard facts. Only he spoke of funding crumbling school buildings and the absurd social cost of jailing more youth. Only he mentioned the crisis in children's health care and the toxicity of violence. Only he addressed the need to reach out to the black community. Only he spoke for affirmative action. Only Powell could stand among all these women and speak with authority about money and power and children and only by virtue of the fact that he once unloosed a tankful of whupass on Iraq.
Powell understood what was otherwise lost tonight: Hungry students and third-rate health care are dollar-and-cent issues. They are policy issues that must be addressed all up and down a spectrum of tax policy, criminal reform, welfare, and health reform. They are as pressing as those tough, manly issues of national defense and finance reform. The way our poorest children live should be keeping generals up at night.
Don't get me wrong. The slumber party was a rousing success. The music rocked. The Looks-Like-America cam picked out children and colored faces in a spectacularly diverse crowd. When all those Texas delegates really got going with their big red and blue foam noodles, it looked like bacteria under a microscope from where I sat in First Union Center. And if the delegates talked loudly over most of the speeches (and all but one of the speeches delivered by a woman), oh well. There was no discernible heat between most of those speakers and most of the crowd in the first place.
In one of the night's infomercials for "Profiles in Compassion," an elementary schoolgirl in the "Character Counts" education program in El Paso, Texas, defined "caring." She should have given tonight's keynote. "Caring means if you see someone hurt on the ground ... and no one's doing anything and something's wrong ... you should tell somebody."
Go to the head of the class, kiddo. "Caring" and "compassion" are about noticing the fallen and telling someone. But is that enough? Is caring limited to hectoring the fallen about personal responsibility? Is it about murmuring about the need for others to engage in more volunteerism? Is replacing a flawed government bureaucracy with "compassion" the outer limit of caring?
The GOP women did much to remind us last night of the crushed-out children in America. They should be lauded for that. They honored the kids who need to be filled up, both spiritually and emotionally, by teachers, congressmen, and generals. But what didn't happen last night, and what needs to happen, requires offering our kids the same respect we accord our tanks and guns: tough muscular solutions involving money, resources, and rigorous policy. Women voters are smart enough to demand that. We even talk about it over our mochas and muffins.

Loaded with antioxidants and free from refined sugar, these Dark Chocolate Matcha and Coconut Truffles are the perfect sweet treat
This post may contain affiliate links. Purchasing through those links means Whole Food Bellies may receive a small amount of compensation at no extra cost to you. For more information please see privacy page.
I swear with my third pregnancy my body just wanted ALL THINGS SWEET, ALL THE TIME! With my others, I had pretty respectable and healthy cravings – ruby red grapefruits and kimchi (with the occasional donut thrown into the day for good measure). This one….sweets. Cakes, truffles, chocolates, ice-cream. If it comes with a sugar buzz, my body wants it and it wants it now.
I say give it what it wants (because fighting a pregnancy craving is just cruel, and who has the energy?). So we NEED chocolatey creations with a healthy spin, and I can't be happier 😆 These little coconut truffles are just divine. They come together in about 15 mins from start to finish, and with a tiny sprinkle of matcha on top, they look super fancy. But they are full of good, healthy fats and antioxidants. Win, win.
If you are on the hunt for some matcha, this is the one I have been using:
Give Me the Quick Version of Why Dark Chocolate Matcha Coconut Truffles are Awesome.
- Quick and easy to make (about 15 minutes from start to finish);
- Loaded with antioxidants from the dark chocolate and the matcha powder;
- Coconut oil is high in natural saturated fats. Saturated fats not only increase the healthy cholesterol (known as HDL) in your body, but also help to convert the LDL "bad" cholesterol into good cholesterols. By Increasing the HDL's in the body, it helps promote heart health, and lower the risk of heart disease.
- They are free from refined sugar free, but still taste deliciously sweet;
- You can pop them in the freezer and they will still taste delicious.
Be sure to add some of these delicious little coconut truffle bombs to your sweet treat repertoire. Let me know if you try them out, I love to hear from you.
Loaded with antioxidants and free from refined sugar, these Dark Chocolate Matcha and Coconut Truffles are the perfect sweet treat
- 2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
- 3 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 3 tbsp pure coconut oil, in liquid form
- 1/2 tsp organic matcha powder
- pinch sea salt
- 4 oz dark chocolate
- 2 tbsp almond milk, or milk of choice
Pop the coconut, maple syrup, coconut oil, matcha and a pinch of salt into a blender or food process and process until almost smooth. I used a vitamix and it took about 5 minutes to get to the desired consistency (see notes*)
Remove from the processor and pop into a small bowl. Pop into the fridge for about 10 minutes, until the mixture becomes more workable.
While the mixture is cooling, use a double-broiler method to melt your dark chocolate and almond milk (see notes for method**)
Scoop 1 heaped teaspoon of the coconut mixture and roll into a ball.Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and repeat until all of the mixture has been used. Pop the coconuts balls into the melted chocolate mixture and use two forks to roll around and cover in the chocolate. Remove from the chocolate and pop back onto the parchment paper, repeat until all coconut balls have been covered.
Pop in the fridge to set, and then enjoy. You can sprinkle a little bit of matcha on top.
*Consistency will depend on preference. I prefer mine to have a little bit of texture, so I don't process until completely smooth, but instead have 'bits' of coconut. If you prefer a smoother truffle then process for longer.
**Double-broiler - place a glass bowl on top of a pot of boiling water. Place the chocolate inside the glass bowl, and heat gently, stirring regularly, until smooth.

Minnesota Valley
National Wildlife Refuge
|3815 American Blvd. East
Bloomington, MN 55425
E-mail: email@example.com
Phone Number: 952-854-5900
|Visit the Refuge's Web Site:
|The refuge's wetlands provide habitat for waterfowl, such as this male wood duck.
Continued . . . Refuge visitors experience a diversity of habitat and wildlife. On the blufftops, one encounters prairie remnants with big and little blue-stem, swtichgrass, Indian grass, butterfly weed, puccoon and blazing star. Hillside forests include an overstory of oak, elm, and maple, with dogwood and chokecherry for an understory. In springtime, this forest floor is carpeted with Canada anemone, bloodroot, trout lily, and Dutchman's britches. Deer are abundant, and tree cavities in basswood and oak provide homes for squirrels, woodpeckers, and wood ducks.
The foodplain is dominated by silver maple, willow, cottonwood and elm trees. The forest is edged with dogwoods and alders. Inside, nettles and river bank grape provide food for mice, rabbits and squirrels. These small mammals in turn provide a food source for weasels, mink, fox, hawks and owls. The valley's bottoms contain wetlands and wet meadows thick with reed canary grass, cattail and bulrush. Open water areas offer water lillies, duckweed and pondweed attracting waterfowl and water birds. Muskrats and beaver also thrive here.
In all, more than 250 species of birds, including nesting bald eagles and peregrine falcons, use the refuge at some time during the year. This avian diversity is complemented by at least fifty species of mammals and thirty species of reptiles and amphibians.

Citing Arizona's 2010 immigration law, SB1070, the Phoenix City Council shot down a measure that would have turned the state's capital into a sanctuary city.
Although portions of SB1070 were struck down by the Supreme Court in 2012, the provision that prevents any jurisdiction within the state from harboring illegal aliens remains in effect.
The measure failed on a 7-2 vote Wednesday after a heated debate.
Facing possible pushback from constituents in addition to jeopardizing millions in federal funds, Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton, a Democrat, made the motion to deny the request, although he said he opposes President Donald Trump's immigration policies.
"We must respect the Supreme Court's unanimous decision and the rule of law — and I will not ask Phoenix police officers to knowingly violate the law," Stanton said.
The petition was brought before the City Council by Phoenix resident Rick Robinson in direct response to Trump's executive order allowing immigration officials to begin pursuing deportations in earnest.
According to Robinson, the motion would have forced city officials to get "off the fence" and determine how they wish to proceed in light of the new administration.
"That's the only way the Police Department will know how to pursue their duties," he said.
While both Stanton and the City Council refused to support the petition on the basis of legal compliance, they vowed to re-examine possible workarounds during the upcoming executive session.
On Sunday, Stanton said Phoenix would explore a legal challenge to SB1070 even though it is unlikely to succeed, given that the Supreme Court already weighed in on the law.
"We're at least going to look at all of our legal options," the mayor said.
The council meeting Wednesday drew a wide range of residents with various points of view, and they were not shy about sharing.
Voicing her opinion to the City Council, Phoenix resident Maria Castro condemned efforts to deport illegal aliens.
"We cannot allow this to continue to happen," she said. "Deportations are happening every day. You are leaving orphans at home every single day."
Another Phoenix resident, Tim Rafferty, maintained that as a nation of laws, the United States must enforce its immigration policies.
"We must be living in The Twilight Zone," said Rafferty. "This is the United States of America. We were built on laws. This isn't about being mean or being hateful. This is our immigration law."
After the council vote, supporters of the sanctuary city initiative began condemning the council members and shouting, "Shame on you."
The sanctuary city push came in the wake of the deportation of Guadalupe Garcia de Rayos, a 35-year-old woman who had been living in the country illegally since age 14.
Garcia was detained by ICE in 2008 after committing Social Security fraud, a serious federal offense. However, her deportation was not ordered by an immigration judge until 2013.
Since then, her deportation was deferred due to lax enforcement policies under former President Barack Obama. She was set free and only required to periodically meet with immigration officials.
Stanton described the deportation of de Rayos as "a travesty" and has refused to allow Phoenix law enforcement to cooperate with federal officials in more aggressive deportation practices.

To prevent search engine and page rank (PR) penalties, website owners need to regularly validate HTML and CSS. Fortunately, the essential tools for maintaining website code compliance are available for FREE from the w3.org or World Wide Web Consortium. The W3C provides a several browser-based tools to check the code validity of Web documents in HTML, CSS, WAP, XHTML, SMIL, MathML, etc. Visit the validate HTML W3C tool.
To use the W3C tool to validate HTML, simply enter the URI of a web page you would like validated and click [check]. The informative error messages are helpful in finding and fixing any errors. Once your markup is valid, it is time to move on to your CSS. To validate CSS the W3C provides the CSS Validation Service for Check Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and (X)HTML documents with style sheets. Again, enter the URI and click [check].
A full list of validators is available as well as QA Matrix comparing the capabilities of each. The W3C validators are hosted on server technology donated by HP, and supported by community donations. There is also the W3C mobileOK Checker for those seeking to publish WAP content.
About the W3C Tool to Validate HTML and CSS
Most Web documents are written using markup languages, such as HTML or XHTML. These languages are defined by technical specifications, which usually include a machine-readable formal grammar (and vocabulary). The act of checking a document against these constraints is called validation, and this is what the Markup Validator does.
Validating Web documents is an important step which can dramatically help improving and ensuring their quality, and it can save a lot of time and money (read more on why validating matters). Validation is, however, neither a full quality check, nor is it strictly equivalent to checking for conformance to the specification.

Do you know what Knowledge Gains is?
Knowledge Gains is one of many suspicious advertising-supported programs you can come across on the web. If you know that this adware app is already on your system, remove it immediately. The main purpose of Knowledge Gains is to increase web traffic to third-party sites by promoting commercial ads. As this application was not developed taking into account the needs of users like you, and thus will not bring any benefit to your overall computer experience, we recommend that you get rid of Knowledge Gain at once. What's more, this adware program was created by SuperWeb LLC, a company responsible for such highly-insecure adware applications as Product Deals, Ysearchservice, Checked List, and others.Knowledge Gains screenshot

If you want to prevent your Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome from being bombarded with pop-up, banner, in-text, interstitial, and other commercial ads, it is best that you remove Knowledge Gains right now.

Bear in mind that Knowledge Gains might be not the only suspicious application that sneaks onto your computer during the installation of freeware. You should always run a background check of the software you want to install on your PC, especially for the programs found on suspicious third-party download sites. Better, download programs directly from their official sites because that is the best way to make sure that you will not end up infecting your system with multiple threats.
We suggest that you remove Knowledge Gains because this annoying, and completely worthless, program might be taken advantage of to damage your computer's security. You can terminate this program from Control Panel. If you are not familiar with the procedure, follow our instructions below to delete Knowledge Gains as effortlessly as possible.

With the amount of connected devices in the world edging ever closer to 50 billion, securing consumers on the web has never been so multifaceted.
To understand just what is needed to protect every user – as well as every device that connects to the internet – TechRadar visited McAfee Labs in Amsterdam and spoke to the very people that deal with tackling web threats every single day.
According to McAfee, a whopping 6 million PCs become infected with bots every month, there's 65,000 pieces of new malware every day and one in five people are hit by cybercrime every year.
While not all of these pieces of malicious code are given the time of day in the press, occasionally a threat is so extensive it will affect millions of users. We've seen this recently with Flame – a bundle of malware that came in a rather large 20MB package. There was so much malware in the Flame payload that it would have taken a lab such as McAfee's 10 years to analyse it.
It was littered with keylogging software and screen-capture technology and had the potential to devastate even the most protected computers. The kicker was that it had an automatic delete function – it was made by people that just wanted to show the world what they could do, and was luckily spotted by McAfee's rival's Kaspersky.
Before this there was Stuxnet, which was aimed at Iran and all about controlling weaponry – an altogether more sinister prospect.
But, according to McAfee, one of the biggest issues around AV at the moment is that of data theft and how easy we are all making it for criminals to essentially clone us online.
"Everybody has a price. There is something out there that will make you click on a link."
"All your details have a value of some sort and there are people out there who will steal personal data and try and sell it," explained Raj Samani, VP chief technical officer EMEA at McAfee.
"In 2006, Operation Motorman found how much money data was worth - there is an industry out there extracting personal data.
"One 'information broker' earned £50,000 a month from one client alone. We just don't realise the scale of personal data theft."
And even if our information isn't found by paid information brokers, there are plenty of dodgy emails around to entice us to click on a link that will mine our computers for information.
"Everybody has a price. There is something out there that will interest you and make you click on a link," said Jon Carpenter, technical product manager at McAfee Labs.
"So, what is your price? Would it be 10 million, would you believe it if you had, say, won 10 million?
If it's 10 pounds then it is more believable. So, you can essentially get duped for the price of a tenner. These viruses work because we are so simple."
Going viral
Regardless of viruses, the data trail we leave behind on the web is startling. Whether we know it or not, we scatter digital breadcrumbs everywhere.
"The amount of personal data Facebook holds on individuals is the most we have ever known."
"When it comes to personal data – you have behavioural, derived data. If you enter your details into a website that is logged, you have volunteered that information," said Samani to TechRadar.
"But do you know the affiliates that get this data? Have a look at the applications on your smartphone – things like Foursquare, Yelp... all of this data is stored.
"There is a yawning gap between what people believe is happening and what is happening today. Data value is simply enormous."
As Samani explained, suddenly Facebook's initial valuation of $108 billion doesn't look that silly.
"The amount of personal data Facebook holds on individuals is the most we have ever known and personal data has a significant, enormous value."
Born identity
Identity is part of McAfee's three tenets of security – data and anti-malware make up the triumvirate – and it is confident that its buyout by Intel in 2011 will improve its reach for both customers and consumers.
"Intel believes that security is the third pillar of computing," said Gary Davis, director WW consumer product marketing.
"The span of enterprises that use McAfee was part of the decision and they also wanted an industry leader.
"We are driven by our partnerships. It is a rich and meaningful portfolio of partners and those are the main reasons Intel chose McAfee."
Davis also hinted at what is to come with security and Intel's chips.
"The amount of security technology that is in IvyBridge dwarfs anything before it. We are looking to work together to solve the problems that consumers have.
"It's important that security works from the moment that you turn your device on. We are working from the bottom up – hardware protection built into the start-up process."
"The next generation Intel device is everything you can imagine. The Medfield smartphone, Clover Trail tablet, Ultrabooks – McAfee is making sure that all of these different form factors are protected."
It's these form factors that have given AV companies something of a headache over the years. McAfee and other antivirus companies aren't just looking at desktops and laptops anymore, there's phones, tablets and even TVs to protect now as well.
"In the first quarter of this year we saw a 12 hundred per cent increase in Android malware."
"In the first quarter of this year we saw a 12 hundred per cent increase in malware centred on Android devices," explained Davis to TechRadar.
"And IPTV provides a huge opportunity for hackers so we need to make sure our software works on all fronts."
McAfee has 6,500 dedicated employees, 350 researchers scattered across the globe there are 125 million McAfee users in the world.
But, despite all this, vigilance by the consumer is still the key to making sure a computer virus doesn't ruin our online lives – especially when it comes to surfing even the friendliest of sites on the web.
"Porn sites today are the most protected websites in the industry – you won't get malware from them," explained Davis.
"If you go to your local pub site, though, there may well be viruses there as their servers just aren't as protected.
"As much as we can write the best code, the consumer itself can only act in its best interest."
