Rihanna tweeted a message of support for Palestine following a week of deadly violence in the area and quickly deleted it minutes later.
TMZ reached out to Rihanna's rep for a comment on the tweet that went out to her 36 million followers, but no explanation yet. Rihanna is known for being outspoken on social media, but it seems that this isn't a subject either she or someone higher up wanted to tackle.
My money is on someone from her management at Roc Nation putting the kibosh on her activism but I doubt we'll ever know for sure.
This isn't the first time Rihanna has been thought to express support for Palestine. Last October, it was reported by Israeli newspaper Haaretz that during a performance in Tel Aviv, Rihanna changed the lyrics of her song "Pour It Up" from "All I see is signs / All I see is dollar signs" to "All I see is Palestine." Haartez later issued a retraction of the lyric change.

Take a tablet; add a keyboard. Turn it into a laptop. Do it with full Windows 8. This is the dream of the HP Envy x2, and the dream, it seems, of Windows 8 in general. Break down the barrier between tablets and PCs. Create progressive computing. The future is now. Well, the future was also four months ago, when Hewlett-Packard first started showing off the Envy x2 in public.
We marveled then that the device was well-built, comfortable to hold, and, when you think about it, pretty shockingly practical. After all, theoretically, this is the best of both worlds: a laptop and a tablet in one. This is what I dreamed about all the way back to the teased-but-never-real Lenovo U1 Hybrid three years ago.
Slide a little tab, and the whole upper lid undocks and becomes its own multitouch tablet. But, at $849, the Envy x2 is more expensive than most ultraportable laptops and tablets...and far more expensive than those little, non-touch-screened, non-detachable-screened 11-inchers of old. It's also Intel Atom-powered, as opposed to having a far faster ultrabook-level processor. You're paying for style, and also for that clever split-function feature.
There are other devices in this landscape, too, with nearly identical specs: the Acer Iconia W510-1422 costs less and showed better battery life in our tests. You could also put that $850 toward a thin laptop like a MacBook Air, or the upcoming, more powerful Microsoft Surface Pro tablet. Options abound.
This particular HP Envy x2 is a good device, but it's not an excellent one.

Style vs. substance
Depending on your perspective, you'll either love what HP's trying to do with the Envy x2, or you'll hate it. But HP is hardly the only innovator: detachable-screen laptop/tablet hybrids have been kicking around in a similar form coming from several manufacturers, including Acer, Lenovo, and Samsung. It's an official mini trend in Windows 8 PCs.
This 11-inch ultraportable laptop is cute, well-constructed in largely brushed aluminum, and, yes, pretty sexy. It's got the style of HP's small dm-series laptops, and a blend of a small-business and a personal feel about it, much like Apple continually pulls off. It feels better-built than some competing models, and has a similar heft and discreet portability to the HP dm1z.
The x2 weighs 3.1 pounds with keyboard, or 1.5 pounds in tablet mode, just a bit more than the Retina Display iPad.
Tablet mode: Eject and enjoy
Pushing a little dock tab, situated right above the keyboard, to the left unlocks the top tablet. You need to pull it apart; it locks solidly. It detaches smoothly, too, but finding the connectors and lining them up to put the tablet back in can get pretty frustrating. Also, this laptop is top-heavy; the tablet part outweighs the lighter keyboard base, which isn't generally a problem in everyday use because of a hinge that projects a little lip at the back to elevate the keyboard and balance the whole package. It does, however, mean you can't easily open the Envy x2 one-handed like a regular laptop.
The tablet's top half has its own power button in the back, a volume control, and both front- and rear-facing cameras (8MP for the rear, HD Webcam quality for the front). It's comfortable to hold and a little larger than a Retina Display iPad, but still a well-designed tablet. On a train commute, it felt like a wide-screen iPad, minus the Retina Display.
The 16:9, 11.6-inch glossy glass-covered IPS screen has a 1,366x768-pixel resolution, and looks sharp from all angles. It isn't impressive in the face of Retina Display, 1080p, and other higher-pixel-density displays, but it matches the basic resolution of a small laptop. Picture quality is crisper than on the average laptop thanks to IPS, and wide viewing angles are no problem. That glossy screen will need frequent wipedowns, though, just like on any tablet.
The tablet top of the Envy has its own stereo speakers with Beats branding, but it's hard to hear what if anything that branding imparts. The wide-set speakers on the bottom front of the display do offer some better-than-average virtual surround effects, though sound leans to the tinny. A headphone jack on the bottom is your better bet.
A power button and dedicated volume rocker lie along the back side edges: you just have to feel for them. A rear-facing 8-megapixel camera (with flash) along with a front-facing 1080p camera offer some video recording/picture capture options, but if you ever found taking pictures with an iPad embarrassing, imagine what would happen with this.
Keep in mind the tablet half has no ports whatsoever: you'll need the keyboard base to take advantage of USB, SD card input, or HDMI out.
|HP Envy x2
|Average for category [ultraportable]

|802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC
|Ethernet (via dongle), 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, optional mobile broadband
|Optical drive
Connections and configurations
Speaking of ports: there aren't that many, and none in the tablet itself except for a tiny Micro SD card slot on the bottom left edge that I didn't even know was there. The keyboard base has a secondary battery that nearly doubles the overall battery life according to HP, and that acts as a tablet recharge station, with two USB 2.0 ports, HDMI, and a regular SD card slot. Sure, there's also support for Bluetooth, 802.11n, and even NFC (should you ever figure out a purpose for it), but dedicated Ethernet isn't here. Get ready to pack a dongle.
The Envy x2 11t-g000 we reviewed comes in only one configuration, with 2GB of RAM and a 64GB solid-state drive (SSD). That 64GB of storage can fill up fast: over 20GB was already filled right out of the box with basic Windows 8 software and applications.
Windows 8 tablet-style convertibles and hybrids seem to be taking one of two paths: using a lower-powered Atom processor, or a faster Intel Core i-series CPU. The HP Envy x2 falls into the former category. It's basically the same computer as the Acer Iconia W510-1422, in the sense that both have a 1.8GHz dual-core Intel Atom Z2760.
The next-gen Atom (also known by the code name Clover Trail) is better than your typical old-school Netbook Atom, but don't expect this processor to perform anywhere near even a low-end Intel Core i3. Our benchmark tests show how very slow the Atom is, relatively speaking: the Core i3 processor in the budget Asus VivoBook X202E laptop is easily three to four times faster in just about any metric.

I've discovered a unique trend. I actually blog more when I'm incredibly busy and stressed because I use it as a fun escape from that insanity. Aka, I use it to procrastinate doing real work. Why does this matter? Because unfortunately for you guys, I'm on winter break, which means I'm doing nothing but sleeping, eating, and playing video games. That also means I'm feeling fairly uninspired at the moment. So, you have two options:
1. Inspire me. Leave a question or topic in the comments, or email me at email@example.com. Ask me anything, doesn't have to be intelligent or about atheism.
2. Tell me how you're relaxing over the holidays. Going on vacation? Reading an awesome book? Playing a great game? Drinking excessively? Inquiring minds want to know!
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go crack open my new copy of Little King's Story until I get some blog fodder.

ARLINGTON, TX (February 17, 2014) - Yoshimura Suzuki Factory Racing's James Stewart celebrated a stunning victory at round seven of the 2014 AMA/FIM Supercross Championships at ATT Stadium in Arlington, TX, on Saturday night. Stewart raced his Yoshimura Suzuki RM-Z450 to his second consecutive win and became the first rider to capture back-to-back victories this season. He also moved up to third place in the overall championship points and is currently two points out of second. Stewart came into Arlington after last weekend's victory made him the first rider in 450 Supercross history to win at least one main event in 10 consecutive seasons. Needless to say, Stewart was ready to race. In his heat, the Yoshimura Suzuki rider led all six laps to take the win. After making a few changes to his bike, Stewart went back out for the main event. He got a good launch off the gate on his Yoshimura Suzuki RM-Z450 and ran in second for the first two laps before taking over the lead. Stewart went on to turn in an effortlessly smooth ride for the remaining 18 laps and capture his 47th career Supercross victory. "It was a great race," said Stewart. "I got a really good jump off the gate and I was keeping the pace nice and smooth because Arlington is a track you could easily override. I did have a few sketchy moments, but overall it was awesome. It was perfect. It was great to get a win last weekend and then to get another win this weekend. After our heat race, we made some changes to the bike that just made the Yoshimura
Suzuki RM-Z450 all that much better. I know my team believes in me and that's the best part. But I also believe in myself and when it was time to go racing, I was there. Now I'm looking forward to doing it again next weekend at Atlanta." Yoshimura Suzuki Factory Racing's next event is the eighth round of the 2014 AMA/FIM Supercross Championships on Saturday, February 22nd, at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, GA.

NORTHRIDGE, Calif. -
In lieu of practice, the Cal State Northridge women's basketball has decided to spend Tuesday, Oct. 14 to aid in the relief and assistance of those affected by the wild fires currently ongoing in the San Fernando Valley.
"With a tragedy like this, we are just fortunate to be able to get out and help the community," assistant coach Cory O'Dell said. "We are blessed to have the resources available to be able to assist those who are suffering."
The Matadors will be helping the Shepherd of the Hills Christian Church staff serve dinner to those displaced by the fires. The church is led by Pastor Dudley C, Rutherford, the father of Northridge player Kayla Rutherford.
Northridge was actually just in the Angeles National Forest currently mired in the Marek Fire, as the team recently participated in the National Public Lands Day on Sept. 27.
According to the American Red Cross, more than 750 people have registered at the main evacuation centers throughout the San Fernando Valley, which is also battling the Sesnon Fire.
Following their assistance to the community, the Matadors hope to resume practicing in advance of the season opener, an exhibition contest against Love and Basketball on Nov. 1 at 2 p.m. in The Matadome.

Both parties support giving trillions to banks, both sides continue to wage war and develop the military at hundreds of billions per year, both sides continue the war on drugs and take away our civil rights. And as long as both sides pursue their singular strategy, a vote just legitimizes their actions. Each year our wealth concentrates further and the population is left with lies, broken promises and a big show to create the illusion of action.
You ask has America given up? I ask, when was it any different?
The guy from Ohio says his vote counts. no, his doesn't either. He can vote for Bush senior knowing that we can read his lips about no more taxes, and then watch his taxes increase like everyone else. We can vote for Obama knowing he smoked weed and is in the pro category and then watch record marijuana related arrests year after year.
We had a greater turnout last go because Obama's rousing speeches of change. Finally something different. It's all the same, the show goes on.

Here�s a wish list of things I wish New Bern had:
Here�s a wish list of things I wish New Bern had:
> A museum. Why doesn�t New Bern have a museum dedicated to it? Tryon Palace touches on it. The Pepsi Store, the Firemen�s Museum and the Battle of New Bern site each have pieces of it. But there is so much more to New Bern�s story, and it�s a story worth telling. And I know the perfect location: The New Bern Academy building on New Street. I know, it�s owned by Tryon Palace, but maybe something could be worked out.
> A better path from U.S. 70 to CarolinaEast Medical Center on Neuse Boulevard. When CarolinaEast was first built, Neuse Boulevard WAS U.S. 70. Now, to reach the hospital, ambulances have to get off 70 at Country Club Road and travel 1.3 miles on surface streets, or get off at Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and travel 1.5 miles on surface streets. I don�t know a perfect location for such a path. Perhaps it�s too late to create one.
> A street named after Elvis Presley. He performed here in 1955 � twice! Perhaps we could rename Broad Street, which is no longer broad, and call it Presley Promenade or The Elvis Esplanade.
> Holiday river cruises. Imagine tour boats plying the rivers during July Fourth fireworks, or Christmas season lights. Other towns have done it: search the web for Christmas on the Pecos.
Onward �
A caller alerted me to a headline error in Friday�s paper. The headline, which said �Bettis considers run for DA,� should say �Bettis considers run from DA.�
Bettis faces several charges following a meandering drive through Havelock one morning, in a case that gets curiouser and curiouser. DA Scott Thomas recused himself from the case and a special prosecutor was assigned, more charges were added, a grand jury convened and now the case is headed straight for Superior Court, do not pass District Court, do not collect $500.
And now Bettis, who once said he was considering a run for governor after he switched from Democrat to Republican, is thinking about running for DA.
Summed up: DA Thomas wastes taxpayer money and has to go, says Bettis.
Speaking of running �
N.C. Senate Majority Leader Phil Berger was in the area last week and stopped by the Sun Journal newsroom to talk about things that were on his mind, focusing much of his time describing legislation affecting education in North Carolina.
Summed up: More incentives for good teachers (a total of $5,000 over a four-year contract period for the top 25 percent of teachers, but not much if anything for the others), he said. He didn�t say anything about diminished funding for teachers assistants, and by the time he was done speaking his piece, his assistant insisted time was up and he had to go.
Reporter Sue Book got in one last question: Is Berger running for Sen. Kay Hagan�s seat?
Summed up: Maybe, because Hagan must go, but he�s still in negotiations with his wife, he said. He did hint that we would not be among the first to find out.
Parting thought �
Fall�s around the corner and I think it�s my favorite time of the year. The weather is cooler but not too cool, kids are back in school, and mosquitoes take their annual hiatus. There�s only one drawback: elections, that time of the year when people forget their manners.
Thanks for letting me take up some of your Sunday morning.
Randy Foster is managing editor of the Sun Journal. He can be reached at 252-635-5663 or firstname.lastname@example.com or follow him on Twitter @rivereditor.

Anolis carolinensis. Anole lizard preserved in safe, nontoxic Carolina's Perfect Solution® and shipped immersed in preservation fluid in a sealed pail or jar, depending on the quantity ordered. Specimen is 3"+ including the tail and has no color injection (plain). Prices listed are for 1 specimen.
Anolis carolinensis. Carolina's preserved anole lizard adults vary in body length (nose to vent) from 1-1/2 to 3". Females are usually at the smaller end of the size range, while males are at the larger end. The tail of the lizard makes up about 50-70% of the total length of the specimen, bringing the total length to 3"+. Because of their small size, anoles are excellent specimens for comparative morphology and/or external anatomy studies, but they are usually too small for easy dissection and internal anatomy examination. For detailed reptilian dissection, we recommend our iguana specimens, items #227765 and #227766.
Size, 3"+. Plain: No color injection. Shipped in pails or jars, depending on the quantity of specimens ordered. Multiple specimens will be packed in a single pail. Prices listed are for 1 specimen.

Texas president William Powers told reporters Wednesday in Austin that his school remains committed to keeping the Big 12 alive.
Only a few hours after Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott announced his conference will remain with 12 teams, Powers said he's excited about the Big 12's future.
"We're absolutely delighted the (Big 12) will stay together," Powers said. "We've been working very hard over the last month to get to this point. We think this is good for the student-athletes, good for competition, good for rivalries, good for travel. We are absolutely delighted."
Powers said creating stability is important for the conference, which lost Nebraska and Colorado after last season and appears to be on the verge of losing Texas A&M to the Southeastern Conference. One of the most important ways is to come to a consensus about adding future members.
"That's job one," Powers said. "When Texas A&M said they were interested in leaving and did announce they would leave to the SEC. We love A&M in the conference and that's their choice. I think the conference was ready to deal with that. It was getting stability and thinking about what they could do, whether to add a team or not.
"We were in the process of that when Oklahoma and Oklahoma State indicated they were interested in leaving the Big 12, that kind of put all of it on hold. Now with conference going to continue, we're delighted about that and we need to return to that issue."
No plans with OU officials are schedule in his future, Powers said.
Powers declined to answer whether Texas' deal with the Pac-12 was scuttled because of the Longhorn Network or demands by UT for an end to the Pac-12's complete revenue-sharing plan.
"I'll just say I do not believe that was a significant issue," Powers said.
But Powers hinted that structuring upcoming Big 12 media deals could be a way to promote future stability.
"It is important to get stability in the conference," Powers said. "We will be working with our partners in Big 12 and media partners to structure them to make sure the conference has stability going forward.
"It is true there has been upheaval, but it is also true that in some ways, the conference was strong enough to survive the upheaval . We don't want upheaval on a periodic basis. Getting stability will be important. But it not for us (UT) to decide, but for the conference together to work out ways of having confidence and stability as we move forward."
Revenue sharing has been promoted as a way to promote the Big 12's cohesion in the future. Powers said Texas is open to considering such a plan.
"A lot of issues you hear about in the paper, like revenue sharing, we've been working on long before this," Powers said. "I'm not going to prejudge how it will come out. There aren't any preconditions for the conference coming together. The important thing is to come back together and move back forward on all the issue of conference."
The Texas president had no specific plans about expansion, saying he wasn't sure "if it's the chicken or the egg" in settling the Big 12's future.
"Those issues are for the conference to look at," Powers said. "We'll work with the conference to answer them. We don't have answers. It's not for us to give them answers but to have input into them."

Louise Olsen

- synthetic polymer paint on linen with metallic leaf
- Read label text
Louise Olsen is a director and designer at Dinosaur Designs, which she co-founded in 1985 with Stephen Ormandy and Liane Rossler. The three of them met while studying drawing and painting. Now internationally renowned, Dinosaur Designs sells its distinctive jewellery and homewares in its own stores in Sydney, Melbourne and New York as well as exporting to over 20 countries.
David Bromley has known Olsen for many years. "She's a person I really like and I've always thought that she has a very special face that would be wonderful to paint," he says. "I am involved in design and furniture as well as working as an artist and I love what they do and what they make at Dinosaur."
The portrait of Olsen has been in Bromley's head for a long time. "I wanted it to be fairly pared back so I went very acoustic with it," he says. "It has a reasonable boldness to it. But Louise isn't a very gregarious person so I wanted it to have a subtlety as well without too many raucous colours – even though the pieces she makes use luminous colours."
Bromley melds figurative expressionism and pop art in an engaging, colourful style. His best-known work draws on imagery from Boy's Own annuals and old magazines and explores themes of childhood innocence, lost and found. Recently, he has used layering and texturing techniques in explorations of the female figure.
Increasingly in demand as a portraitist, he has painted Scott Hicks, Hugo Weaving, Kylie Minogue, Megan Gale and Kristy Hinze among others.
Born in England in 1960, Bromley arrived in Australia in 1964. He now lives and works in Melbourne. Listed among Australian Art Collector's 50 most collectable artists, he has exhibited in London, Paris, Tokyo, New York, Moscow, New Zealand and Singapore as well as Australia. This is his fifth time in the Archibald Prize.

STOCKHOLM—Led by Steven Stamkos and his four-point performance, Canada's vaunted offence emerged at the IIHF world championship with a 7-1 win over Norway on Tuesday.
Canada (2-0-1) played its best opening period of the tournament and led by four goals after the opening 20 minutes.
"We stressed coming out in the first period and getting some momentum," Stamkos said.
The Tampa Bay Lightning star, a two-time winner of the NHL's Maurice Richard Trophy that goes to the league's top goal scorer, assisted on three goals in the first period. Stamkos scored in the third.
"You always want to be a difference-maker in every game you play in," he said. "I try to pride myself in that and have learned from a lot of good players playing with (them) over the years. The whole team came out ready to play tonight."
Taylor Hall of the Edmonton Oilers collected his first two goals of the tournament.
Winnipeg Jets forward Andrew Ladd, Matt Duchene of the Colorado Avalanche, Carolina Hurricanes forward Jeff Skinner and Philadelphia Flyers winger Claude Giroux also scored for Canada. Hall's Edmonton teammate Jordan Eberle had two assists in front of 3,678 at The Globe Arena.
Oilers goaltender Devan Dubnyk made 13 saves for his second win of the tournament.
Canada is second in the Stockholm pool with seven points. Switzerland leads with eight.
Canada faces back-to-back games against host Sweden (2-1) on Thursday followed by Belarus (1-2) on Friday. Denmark (1-2) edged winless Slovenia 3-2 in overtime earlier.
Russia (3-0) downed the United States 5-3 to top the Helsinki pool. Promoted Austria doubled Latvia 6-3 for their first win. The Latvians (0-3) are coached by Canadian and former Buffalo Sabres head coach Ted Nolan.
The top four countries in each pool of eight qualify for the quarter-finals in their respective cities. Canada lost in the quarter-finals in the last three world championships, despite finishing first in their pool the last two.
Norway (2-1) gave goaltender Lars Volden his first start of the tournament after Lars Haugen earned a pair of wins. Ken Andre Olimb scored in Norway's first loss in Stockholm.
The international experience and talent of Canada's forwards is the strength of the team. But Canada's 22 players had just three practices together prior to their first game here.
The NHL's lockout-shortened regular season ended three weeks later than usual. The players arrived just three days before their first game of the tournament.
The Canadians had sluggish first periods and trailed by a goal in both a 3-1 win over Denmark and a 3-2 shootout loss to Switzerland to open the tournament.
Canadian head coach Lindy Ruff felt his team was playing too much "after you" hockey and encouraged his forwards to pass less and shoot more.
Canada dominated the opening period Tuesday, scoring first for the first time and outshooting Norway 13-1.
"We wanted to be real aggressive in the offensive zone," Ruff said. "I think the important part is we were getting the first opportunity but it was followed up by a quick second opportunity.
"We played a better first period, which I think made the difference."
Canada had more than one forward driving the net in Norwegian territory and that put pressure on the flanks of Volden.
"The more times we get out there with each other and communicate with each other, the more comfortable guys are going to be with the puck and knowing where guys are," Skinner said. "I think that's what you saw today."
The Norwegians are ranked No. 8 in the world behind Canada at No. 5. The two countries will be in the same pool at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, next year along with Finland and Austria.
Stamkos and Eberle opened up ice for their teammates in the offensive zone with hustle, vision and skill. Stamkos dived to execute a goal-mouth pass for Ladd to finish on the important first goal for Canada at 4:45.
Eberle sent a backhand pass from the backboards out to Hall alone in the slot for his first goal early in the second.
On Canada's third goal scored by Duchene, Eberle took three strides in from the blue-line to draw Norwegian defenders to him. He shovelled a backhand pass over to the Avs forward for Duchene's third goal of the tournament.
"With only three practices before, sometimes it's tough to get going with a lot of new people, but we're getting there and I felt today was a step forward," Stamkos said.

Pat White will get his biggest chance yet to show what he can do as an NFL quarterback on Thursday night.
Washington coach Mike Shanahan confirmed today that he plans to start White in the preseason finale and keep him in the game for all four quarters. Starter Robert Griffin III and No. 2 quarterback Kirk Cousins are both recovering from injuries, and veteran Rex Grossman will be rested. (Presumably Grossman will take the field if White gets hurt.)
A spread-option quarterback in college at West Virginia, White was a second-round pick of the Dolphins way back in the old days of 2009, when people thought the spread-option wouldn't work in the NFL. He never panned out as the Dolphins hoped he would as an all-purpose threat, but Shanahan decided to give him a shot as a quarterback this year.
It's unlikely that White will make the regular-season roster in Washington, but if he plays well he could put enough on film to make other teams think of him as a quarterback option down the road.

POLITICAL DEMONSTRATIONS are not commonplace in Belvedere. It's probably much more common for politicians to drop into town for fundraisers.
Local leaders of the American Civil Liberties Union and other groups decided that a high-priced Democratic Party fundraiser, featuring House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and hosted by Marin's Rep. Jared Huffman, was a good opportunity to bring public attention to their concern about the National Security Agency reviewing citizens' phone records to thwart terrorism.
The ACLU filed a lawsuit contending the NSA's sweep of phone records is a violation of the First and Fourth Amendments, which protect citizens' free speech and right to be free of unreasonable searches and seizures.
Pelosi has defended the NSA's review of phone calls and the ACLU and others have tried to soften that endorsement.
On July 13, more than 70 protesters stood along Eucalyptus Road on Belvedere Island to welcome Pelosi to town. They carried signs that said, "Who is watching the watchers?" and "One nation under surveillance."
One protester, holding a hot-pink parasol, held a sign that declared, "Nancy Pelosi — Your absence from civics class is unexcused."
She would have been hard for Pelosi to miss on her way to the fundraiser.
They made their point.
It's an important one.
Congress should be aware that not everyone is thrilled to have personal and business phone records reviewed and held by the NSA.
The Obama administration has defended the sweeps as a critical tool in stopping the spread of terrorism.
The NSA's policies have also been endorsed by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, which on Friday reauthorized the NSA's collection of telephone and online data. Meanwhile, a bipartisan push is underway in Congress to stop the NSA from reviewing telephone and online data of people who are not connected to ongoing investigations.
There also is talk of providing greater transparency of the surveillance court's process, including release of its opinions.
The drumbeat of the Belvedere protesters is echoed by demonstrators and critics across the nation.
They feel that the tactics used in stopping terrorism are out of balance with two freedoms that citizens hold dear, the freedom of speech and the right of privacy.
Pelosi, Huffman and other members of Congress need to make sure citizens are protected from an abuse of the power that NSA exercises.
That's likely not enough for protesters, who see the NSA's powers, expanded in the wake of 9-11, as undermining our constitutional rights.
But it would be a step in the right direction.
A proposal to broaden the appointment process for surveillance court judges is also worthy of consideration.
Keeping the public heat turned up high on this issue is important to get the point across to Washington.
The July 13 protest, although staged at an unusual location, reminded Pelosi and Huffman that people care about their constitutional rights.

As they suffer through a third year of extreme drought, farmers in the Middle Rio Grande basin of New Mexico are beginning to wonder why they call the great river there "grand" at all.
Last week the Middle Rio Grande Conservancy District (MRGCD), the agency responsible for allocating irrigation water to farmers and ranchers in central New Mexico, announced it will release the last of its stored water reserves this week and warned rural residents and agriculture related businesses to expect reduced river flows in the days and perhaps weeks and months ahead.
The District manages the waters of the Rio Grande for a 150-mile stretch beginning at Cochiti Dam in the north to Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge in Socorro County. That stretch of river provides irrigation water to all agricultural users through a 1,200 mile system of irrigation canals and ditches that are opened or closed periodically to ensure every water user gets his fair share of the available resource –that is, until water supplies are depleted.
"We are truly at the mercy of Mother Nature now, and rain is our only option for increased water supply," said MRGCD Hydrologist David Gensler in a statement released last week.
If you are enjoying reading this article, please check out Southwest Farm Press Dailyand receive the latest news right to your inbox.
According to that statement, the Conservancy District will release the last of its supplemental water supply July 1. The District stores water in El Vado Reservoir in northern New Mexico and releases it at peak irrigation times to supplement the natural flow of the Rio Grande. The last of the supplemental water released from El Vado should reach mid-valley irrigators, depending upon their location, between July 3 and July 8.
The District began releasing supplemental water on May 21, earlier than normal because of low flow in the Rio Grande. Now that the supplemental water storage is exhausted, the District must rely on only the natural flow of the river.
"It will be vitally important for all irrigators to schedule their irrigation and share what water is available," Gensler added, warning that even river's natural flow is limited "until the rains return."
According to the District, the Bureau of Reclamation will be releasing water to benefit the endangered population of the Rio Grande silvery minnow, and a limited amount of water will be available to a number of New Mexico's Pueblo communities.
All eyes now look to the skies for lasting relief from the summer drought. July and August are historically the monsoon period in the mountains of New Mexico and southern Colorado. If the summer monsoons deliver adequate rain, runoff could help recharge over-used reservoirs and could mean additional water available to resume normal irrigation schedules through the end of the season.
As it stands now, all of New Mexico's reservoirs are running at historically low levels.
Groundwater offers help, but that could change
In addition to the devastating drought, New Mexico's Middle Rio Grande and Southern Rio Grande basin farmers are concerned over pending federal litigation initiated by the State of Texas. At risk is the ability of New Mexico farmers to pump ground water from aquifers supported by the river. In times of extreme drought, the only source of water to support crops and livestock are groundwater wells. Without them, not only would crops fail and livestock suffer, but pecan growers in Dona Ana County, the nation's leading pecan-producing county, could lose their trees.
Even with the ability to pump groundwater, growers say production cost increases eat deeply into profits. But without it, they have little hope of bringing a crop to harvest.
South of pecan country and across the state line, irrigation districts in Texas are also thirsty for water. In 2008—after years of bickering over waters of the Rio Grande—New Mexico and Texas water officials finally agreed on a plan to distribute water between the two states. But New Mexico Attorney General Gary King decided the agreement was unfair to farmers in his state and filed suit to terminate the agreement.
The State of Texas fired back by filing a federal lawsuit with the U.S. Supreme Court charging New Mexico uses an excessive amount of water from the Rio Grande. Also at issue is pumping water from wells in areas considered to be recharge zones for the Rio Grande. If the federal lawsuit moves forward and the court rules in favor of Texas, ensuing disaster awaits New Mexico's farm and ranch community. The court could make groundwater pumping illegal, virtually destroying any hope of successful agriculture in New Mexico during dry years.
One of the hardest hit areas would be Hatch, New Mexico, the chili capital of the nation. Farmers there say pumping groundwater from wells has been the only saving grace to their chili pepper season over the past several years.
New Mexico farmers, like their Texas counterparts, say the only real hope for surviving the drought is a return of normal annual rainfall. While last year's monsoons proved to be a disappointment and failed to relieve drought conditions, most growers and stockmen in New Mexico say they are holding out hope this year's monsoon season will be different.
As always, it depends on the weather.

Transcription is the first step toward the creation of a captioned video. The transcript itself is a text equivalent of an audio recording. In addition to its use in the captioning process, a transcript may be useful in its own right as a learning tool for students, who can read the text and search for key words. In fact, transcripts are a great addition to any instructional video or podcast because they give students another way to comprehend and interact with the material.
Although numerous automatic transcription tools are available to convert speech to text, none provide satisfactory results at this time. The transcripts produced by automatic transcription require extensive edits and corrections. We therefore recommend that transcripts be typed manually in Microsoft Word.
Tools used in this tutorial
- Microsoft Word
The following guidelines are adapted from the Described and Captioned Media Program's (DCMP) Captioning Key. The DCMP is funded by the U.S. Department of Education and administered by the National Association of the Deaf. We have found these guidelines to be comprehensive. For additional information, follow the link to the Captioning Key website.
A quality transcript should include speaker identification as well as description of sound effects, music, and other notations that promote comprehension when the audio cannot be heard.
Speaker identification
Place speaker's name in parentheses, on its own line:
Sound effects
Description of sound effects should be placed in square brackets and should identify the sound source:
Sound effects should appear after the sound description, on their own line, in lower case:
If possible, use words that imitate the sound being described:
Oink (pig)
Roar (lion)
Woof (dog bark)
Music Description
If a piece of music is significant to the story, introduce the artist's name and song title in brackets:
If the music has lyrics which are pertinent to the story, caption them. Lyrics should be denoted with a music symbol (♪) at the beginning and end of the caption (type Alt+13 on the numeric keypad to insert the music symbol):
Use two music symbols after the last line of the song to indicate the end of the music:
Use an ellipsis (…) to indicate a pause:
Use italics for foreign words and phrases:
Use ALL CAPS, not italics, for emphasis:
Step-By-Step Instructions
Follow these steps to create a transcript:
- Open a new Microsoft Word document.
- Open the video file.
- Play the video in small increments (20–30 seconds) while transcribing the audio and dialogue in Microsoft Word.
- Identify speakers when they appear in the video.
- If the scene contains multiple speakers, identify the person speaking in each caption.
- If the camera focuses on one speaker at a time, speaker identification is not needed after the initial identification.
Next Steps
Your new transcript file can be used in several ways:
- The text can be copied from Word and pasted into Camtasia Studio, where it will be synchronized with the video to create captions (see Adding Captions in Camtasia Studio).
- The Word document can be saved as a text file (.txt) and uploaded to YouTube for synchronization with the video.
- The document can be posted in Word or PDF format on the course website, where the text will become a searchable learning resource.

The world's biggest PC maker, HP, is ready to abandon Microsoft's Windows for its mobile computing efforts, Taylor Wimberly at ReadWrite reports.
Wimberly says HP has been working on a high-end Android-based tablet since before last Thanksgiving.
The timing is important. Microsoft's tablet-friendly operating system Windows 8 came out at the end of October, and has been available for testing for over a year. HP must have thoroughly evaluated Windows 8 and Android and decided Windows 8 wasn't good enough.
What's more, Wimberly says HP is exploring making a phone, and that phone would also be based on Android, not Windows Phone software.
If this happens, it will be more symbolic than anything else, initially. HP will still make a lot of traditional PCs running Windows software. And HP has struggled in the mobile, so it's not like an HP tablet or smartphone is a guaranteed success.
Plus, HP is making a couple of Windows 8 tablets right now. So, it hasn't totally given up on Windows 8.
However, if HP's Android tablet is a success. And if somehow its phone is a success, watch out. Microsoft will lose one of its biggest partners.

The way that Northwestern Europeans, typically Southern Irish and Scots pronounce the phrase "fuck you". Because of their unique brogues the two words often sound as one making for a linguistic phenomenon. Consumption of alcoholic beverages can increase the speed and ferocity of this word. However, this word is only said among friends poking fun at one another, which is unlike its two worded cousin "Fuck You",a separated and slower phrase said so that a person's enemy might better understand.

Ok, so I've said before I'm going to do very short episodes from now on.
I think what I'm actually going to do is release individual segments as either separate shows with a subtitle saying what it is or something like that.
for example, I'll release it as TNT-tv: editing 403 or TNT-tv: Don't try this at home.
So each subject matter would have a subtitle based on what its about.
I also plan on broadening the subject matter slightly, I also want to include some tips about general stuff, like saving money on utility bills, tips and tricks around the house, linux, hacking consoles, repairing broken electronics, and generally anything I find remotely interesting.
So it could be about computers, could be about collecting rainwater. could be about mowing your yard or annoying your neighbors, lighting things on fire, even reviews of any stuff I buy, or whatever.
As always I'm open to suggestions, If you want to see something covered, tell me, either comment on a video, or post here then I'll try my best to get to it as quickly as possible.
I'm moving soon and have a room that is perfect for greenscreen, so I'll be playing with that more and that may be one of the first episodes with the new mega short format. expect that before the end of july.
Format change and other junk too.
Think you've got a good idea? Share it with us and it might just end up on the show!

Group Brings Strong Credentials
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Head coach Will Porter will welcome a strong class of rowers to New Haven this fall.
The Class of 2017 has a strong New England presence with Connecticut athletes, Jackie Cloud (New Canaan, GMS) Holly Geffs (Riverside, CBC), Emily Patton (Guilford, Hopkins) and Caroline Ostrover (Greenwich, Greenwich Academy). Joining them are three athletes from Massachusetts - Caroline Hart (Harvard, Bromfield H.S.), Olivia Maclean (Harvard, Bromfield H.S.) and Lydia Keating (Brookline, Brookline H.S.). In addition, there are two athletes from the United Kingdon - Sara Locke (Chertsey, Sir William Perkin's School) and Schuyler Ritchie (London, Latymer Upper School) as well as Kate O'Brien from Clare, Ireland (Laurel Hill Colaiste). Rounding out the class is Casey Wizner from the Detroit Boat Club (Grosse Pointe, MI, Grosse Pointe South H.S.).
The class has international experience with Hart, Maclean, Keating and O'Brien all attending the Junior World Rowing Championships last year in Plovdiv, Bulgaria, as well as Locke and Ritchie being involved with the Great Britain junior team. All 11 incoming athlete row small boats - fours, pairs, singles and doubles.
"This is a solid group of athletes," Porter said. "I look forward to seeing what they can do when they get to Yale."
Here is a closer look at the Class of 2017:
Jackie Cloud
New Canaan High School
New Canaan, CT
Quote: "Clouds come floating in my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky." --Rabindranath Tagore
Idol: My Dad
Major: I'm not really sure what I would like to major in, but definitely something in the Creative Writing/Film Studies area.
Why Yale: Yale has been a part of my life since I was a 6-year-old swimmer, diving into the pool for the first time. Since then, the college has become a home of sorts, a place where I looked forward to visiting every time I got the chance. Once my knowledge of the campus expanded past the athletic complexes, I fell in love. The brilliant professors, the active student lifestyle, the rich history, even the school colors all made me realize that there really is no college more perfect for me than Yale.
Porter Says: "Jackie is a great sculler, has overcome adversity and strikes me as a strong person. I look forward to working with her and seeing just how good she can become."
HS Coach: Guenter Beutter, GMS
Holly Geffs
Convent of the Sacred Heart
Riverside, CT
Quote: "Just do it." –Nike
Idol: My coach, Liz Trond, is a role model to me because she epitomizes athleticism and always guides me towards being the best athlete and person that I can be.
Major: Anthropology and History
Why Yale: "I chose Yale because I feel that the strong team and renowned university will help me to reach my athletic and academic goals. I also love the sense of school unity and pride that I felt when I visited the Yale campus."
Porter Says: "We are excited about Holly's lengths and she has a great attitude."
HS Coach: Liz Trond CBC
Caroline Hart
Bromfield H.S.
Harvard, MA
Quote: "It's better to light a candle than to curse the darkness."- Proverb
Idol: Hillary Clinton
Major: Political Science
Why Yale: "I chose Yale because there is no better place to pursue academics and athletics at the highest level. I was also struck with how much the students genuinely love their school."
Porter Says: "Caroline has been brought along the right way by Holly Hatton, her high school coach. She is already fast and has made the US JR team while her best years are ahead of her."
HS Coach: Holly Hatton
Lydia Keating
Brookline H.S.
Brookline, MA
Quote: "Dream a little. Sweat a lot."
Idol: Chris Ernst.
Major: Environmental Sciences
Why Yale: "People talk about the feeling of just knowing that a school is for them the moment that they step foot on campus. That is not quite what happened to me. Of course the beauty and energy of the campus is unreal but I didn't fall in love with the school until I started talking to Yale students. Every single person I spoke to was interesting, engaging, and friendly. As for the rowing team: I am honored and excited to be a new member of a team of outstanding women. I watched their intensity on the water and team unity on land. I cannot wait to be part that."
Porter Says: "Lydia brings energy into the mix. She is intense and passionate and will bring both to YWC. She rows big. As a member of the US JR team last year she gained experience in the pair. I am excited about her arrival."
HS Coach: Ethan Curran
Sara Locke
Sir William Perkin's School
Chertsey U.K.
Quote: "Nil nisi optimum" (Nothing but the best), a former school motto.
Idol: My brother, because he is the toughest (and strongest and biggest) person I know.
Major: Biological Sciences
Why Yale: "Yale offers an exceptional education and student body, in combination with superb athletics. The great food is a bonus!"
Porter Says: "Sara was literally born to be a Yalie. As a member of the GB JR selection group he has trained at a high level. Her small boat skills will help her excel at Yale."
HS Coach: Jennifer Farmer.
Olivia Maclean
Bromfield H.S.
Harvard, MA
Quote: "Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever." Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi
Idol: My idol is Kerri Walsh. She is a strong and inspirational woman for athletes and women across the world.
Major: I am very interested in the economy and how the world runs. I am also very interested in how the political system functions and how different countries cooperate with one another.
Why Yale: "I chose Yale because of the amazing student atmosphere. Everyone that I met on campus was very welcoming and happy. There are also amazing academic opportunities offered at Yale. The rowing team, while competitive, was also filled with very inviting and intelligent people. Yale was the perfect fit for me!"
Porter Says: "Olivia has also been mentored by Holly Hatton, is a USA JR team athlete with small boat experience and we expect her to just keep getting better."
HS Coach: Holly Hatton
Kate O'Brien
Laurel Hill Colaiste
Clare, Ireland
Quote: "The only workout you regret is the one you didn't do"
Inspiration: As clichéd as it may sound both of my parents inspire me. My father, a man of few words and my mother, a woman who makes up for my father's lack of words are an excellent team. Together they taught me to always strive to be the best I could be, and to never shy away from challenges. Over the years, they have made several sacrifices for me, and I view them as two of the most selfless people that I have ever encountered. Cliché or not, I honestly aspire to become like them in my life.
Major: Everything
Why Yale: "During my visit to Yale, I was overwhelmed to feel so at home despite being 3000 miles away from Ireland. The rowing team, coaches, faculty and staff were some of the most obliging and welcoming people that I have met. New Haven literally welcomed me with open arms. When I combine this with Yale's internationally renowned academic success and thriving women's rowing team, how could I not choose Yale?"
Porter Says: "Kate is a rare athlete. She has a big engine combined with the skill to race the single at the JR Worlds for Ireland. She will have fun at Yale finding her top-end speed on a big team"
HS Coach: Ritchie O'Brien
Caroline Ostrover
5' 11"
Greenwich Academy
Greenwich, CT
Quote: "I hated every minute of training, but I said, 'Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.' " – Muhammad Ali
Idol: My role models would be my parents for all of the support and motivation they provide to help me succeed.
Major: Economics
Why Yale: "I chose Yale because of its combination of outstanding academic and athletic opportunities. At Yale, I will surely be challenged in both the classroom and on the water."
Porter Says: "Caroline is a true rower. She is humble and hard working something we really like. She is a great fit for our program. I expect her to really come on strong at Yale."
HS Coach: Dara Dickson
Emily Patton
Hopkins School
Guilford, CT
Quote: "At the end of the day, the last thing you want to remember is the moment you gave up."
Idol: I am eternally grateful to my Hopkins rowing coach, Nat Case, who not only had an amazing career as one of Yale's earliest women's rowing coaches, but who also continues to dedicate his time to the sport today. He is the one who encouraged me to expect more from myself even when I wasn't sure that I could, and I've learned so much from him over the past three years.
Major: Right now, I'm still interested in everything.
Why Yale: "I think it goes without saying that Yale has earned its excellent reputation in both rowing and academics. But what attracted me the most to this school was the sense of community I felt on campus. It just felt right."
Porter Says: "Emily is a strong, self-starter. She is a determined athlete who will really push to be her best."
HS Coach: Nat Case
Schuyler Ritchie
Latymer Upper School
London U.K.
Quote: "Do today what others won't so tomorrow you can do what others can't."
Idol: Sophie Hosking from the GB women's lightweight double scull - I hope to one day be in her position.
Major: English
Why Yale: "Yale combines arguably the best liberal arts education globally with a top notch Division 1 rowing squad. I also love the residential college system and the easy access to New Haven from London."
Porter Says: "Sky is awesome. I cannot wait for her to get here and get in the mix. She is a true athlete, will be a great trainer as well as an accomplished small boat rower. Her experience with the GB JR squad racing at the Coupe de la Jeunesse will serve her well."
HS Coach: Hugo Gulliver
Casey Wizner
Grosse Pointe South H.S.
Grosse Pointe, MI
Quote: "There's a lot of blood, sweat, and guts between dreams and success." Paul "Bear" Bryant
Idol: My idol is my sister, Taylor Wizner, because of her incredible work ethic and for always being there for me with just the right amount of honesty and encouragement.
Major: Pre- Med
Why Yale: "I loved Yale the moment I first visited many years ago. The thought of being able to attend Yale and row for such a powerhouse team inspired me for a very long time. I kept hearing about the great people that make up Yale and that kind of spirit is contagious. I chose Yale for its top competitive rowing program, unparalleled education, and its warm sense of community. Yale is a dream come true for me."
Porter Says: "Casey is a great fit for us. She has shown great tenacity on her way to Yale and we expect her to just keep brining it."
HS Coach: George Sleator

Subscribe To Insidious Chapter 3 Confirmed, But Without James Wan Updates
I've already subscribed
UPDATE: FilmDistrict has announced that they are indeed moving forward on Insidious Chapter 3, with writer Leigh Whannell and producer Jason Blum both set to return (tellingly, director James Wan is not mentioned). You can read our original article, including Blum's comments on wanting to return for a third chapter and speculation about Wan wanting to leave horror behind, below. At the bottom of the post is the press release announcing the third film.
As the founder of Blumhouse Productions, Jason Blum has become a kind of contemporary Roger Corman, quickly creating a string of low-budget horror movies that have proved box office smashes, as well as influential within the genre. The man has had a hand in making such hits as Sinister, The Purge, Insidious and the Paranormal Activity film series. With the release of Insidious: Chapter 2, I had the good fortune to interview Blum, and after a fascinating conversation about his plans for elevating the oft-sneered at genre, we talked more specifically about the furious of the Insidious franchise.
In the final scene of Chapter 2, there's a clear set up for a third film. Do you and Wan have a plan for a third installation or—
Blum's enthusiasm for a third venture into The Further is clear. But will director James Wan and screenwriter Leigh Whannell be as excited to return to this property? Blum's comment implies there was no point in talking about a follow-up until Chapter 2 was proven a hit or miss. Well, while this sequel/prequel hybrid was less beloved by critics than the original, it tore up the box office this weekend. The $5 million dollar movie proved a winner, topping the box office with an astounding $41 million, beating the original's opening by $28 million. But will this be enough to draw Wan back once Fast & Furious 7 wraps?
Over at Screen Rant, Perri Nemiroff drew our attention to a worrisome interview Wan gave in July to Moviefone, where he declared he's done with horror:
"I'm going to go on record and say I am finished with the horror genre. Conjuring and Insidious 2 are my two last scary movies."
Expanding on this shocking statement, Wan went on, ""I spent the last ten years of my life doing this. It's time for a change, for goodness sake!...Hollywood puts you in a box. If you do a successful comedy, then you're known as The Comedy Guy. If you do a successful car chase movie, then you become that guy. So I'm a student of cinema, so I just want to make sure I get the chance to make other kinds of films."
I totally understand his desire to branch out. It's something he made clear back at NY Comic Con last fall, where he confessed he'd really love to make a superhero movie someday. Fast & Furious 7 is a pretty smart step in that direction, but will Wan really give up horror for good? Blum is doubtful, telling Nemiroff:
"I think he says he's not gonna make another horror movie, but I'm sure that he will and it will be even better for having done Fast and Furious."
Back to what could lie in store for Insidious 3, Blum wouldn't go into specifics on the potential third film when I spoke to him. However, spoilers for Insidious: Chapter 2 ahead, as the film ends on ghost Elise continuing her life's work with the help of Specs and Tucker, there is a pretty clear path for the franchise's next installment. As to whether we'll eve see it, well, that appears to be up to Wan.
Los Angeles September 16, 2013 – Entertainment One (eOne), FilmDistrict, and Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions (SPWA) announced today that together they will be developing the third chapter of the micro-budgeted INSIDIOUS film franchise which Leigh Whannell has signed on to write. Whannell has written both INSIDIOUS and INSIDIOUS: CHAPTER 2 which just had a stellar first weekend release in North America debuting to more than $40 million at the box office making it one of the largest horror genre openings ever and one of the biggest openings for a film released in the month of September. Jason Blum and his Blumhouse Productions, which produced both INSIDIOUS and INSIDIOUS: CHAPTER 2, is producing the next installment along with Oren Peli. Steven Schneider, Brian Kavanaugh Jones, Peter Schlessel, Lia Buman and Xavier Marchand are executive producing.

Player Feedback Bringing Tweaks to Battlefield 4
To help Dice improve the online experience for Battlefield 4, the developer set up the Community Test Environment, a set of test servers that allow Battlefield 4 Premium members to provide feedback about the PC version of the game, this May. The efforts of developers and players on the CTE have resulted in several gameplay changes that DICE has detailed on the Battlefield site.
Essentially a post-launch test beta, the CTE has yielded various improvements, from bug-fixes to gameplay tweaks, by watching streamed gameplay, analyzing telemetry and interacting with players on the game forums.
Earlier this month, DICE made improvements to Battlefield 4's netcode that focused on decreasing the feeling of being killed through cover and being killed without seeing a damage indicator. DICE promises more netcode fixes in the coming months.
The first phase of DICE's core gameplay initiative will focus on improvements to the Dragon's Teeth expansion. The all-new ballistics shield will be powered down based on player feedback. The new shield will no longer stop anti-personnel rounds, and can no longer one-hit-kill opponents with a shield bash.
The game's Rush mode will receive tweaks that make it easier to attack MCOM stations, resulting in a more balanced and fluid Rush experience. Other general changes to Rush include decreased range on radar sweeps around attacker's bases, and the removal of the Commander in the mode by default. Map-specific changes have also been made, including placement of MCOM stations and cover passes.
In the coming months, DICE will be making even more tweaks to Battlefield 4's online suite. Some of these changes will include general weapon balancing, weapon suppression tuning, 3P Head-flinch dampening, visual recoil ADS tuning, vehicle balancing and HUD improvements.
While the Community Test Environment program has already resulted in plenty of gameplay improvements, DICE is looking for more testers to help them make the game as balanced and fun as possible. It's available to all Battlefield 4 Premium members, and players and players can sign up for the program on the Battlelog.

A British man with ties to LulzSec was indicted on conspiracy and hacking charges for attacking websites operated by Fox, PBS, and Sony.
Twenty-year-old Ryan Cleary was indicted Tuesday in US District Court in Los Angeles, but he is already in custody in England because he faces similar charges there for running botnets and mounting DDoS attacks.
"Federal authorities allege that between April 2011 through June 2011, Cleary conspired with LulzSec members to intentionally cause damage to the computer systems of Fox Entertainment Group in Los Angeles and stole confidential information including data relating to people auditioning for 'The X-Factor,'" the Los Angeles Times reported. "The indictment also alleges Cleary hacked into and defaced the PBS NewsHour website and created a separate website where he and others published confidential information stolen from entertainment company systems."
The latter activity included stealing information from people who had registered accounts on a site operated by Sony Pictures. The indictment charges Cleary with one count of conspiracy and two counts of unauthorized impairment of protected computers. He faces a maximum sentence of 25 years if convicted, the Times said.
Cleary, who operated a LulzSec IRC server, was arrested in the UK one year ago for allegedly running botnets and taking part in DDoS attacks against the Serious Organised Crime Agency, British Phonographic Industry, and the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry. LulzSec coordinated an epic 50 days of hacking mayhem in mid-2011, but is in disarray with its leader Hector Monsegur having coordinated with the FBI to help bring down his former colleagues.

Using GTW Content
Hey. Yes, you can re-use content from GTW, but you have to make sure you follow the CC-BY-SA licence. Outline is here, full details are here. This means that you have to link to where you got it from. So a prominent link in your app to Grand Theft Wiki would be sufficient; whilst a hidden tiny mention probably wouldn't satisfy the requirement of attribution. You also have to ensure that anything you build on top of our content must also be licenced under the same licence. For example, you cannot take some of our text, add your own stuff, then claim that a copyright. You can sell your app, but make sure that you mention (for example) "The images in this application are from gta.wikia.com [link] and licenced under CC-BY-SA". Hope that makes sense - Gboyers talk 20:24, March 10, 2010 (UTC)

After hearing a lot of buzz about Napoleon Perdis, I was excited to try out this line of Australian skincare and makeup. Napoleon Perdis boasts over 13 years in the business and the makeup has been used in many of America's Next Top Model photo shoots.
My absolute favorite product of this bunch has been the Napoleon Perdis Camera Finish Powder Foundation in Look B2. The range of colors is impressive. I usually have trouble finding a face product that is light enough for my pale skin yet this foundation is available in several tan to dark shades as well. The claim is that it "conceals, covers and sets" and I can't agree more. I have tried this as a foundation using a sponge applicator that comes in the mirrored compact. It provides lightweight, sheer coverage, evens out skin tone and reduces redness.
The formula easily doubles as a concealer – I simply use my finger to dot a little powder onto blemishes and am able to achieve a great amount of coverage. My preferred use for Camera Finish Powder is applying it over tinted moisturizer or foundation. I swirl my fluffy Bare Escentuals Flawless Face Brush over the powder and onto my face, particularly in the "T Zone" to eliminate shine and create a flawless, airbrushed look. Although this product is sold as a foundation, I cannot stress how lightweight and comfortable it is. Even worn over foundation, it delivers great coverage and pigment but won't settle in lines or clog pores.
If you act quickly, you can even find some shades on sale at Sephora.
