Hacked Sharyl Attkisson tells O'Reilly: 'I think I know' who did it
This is a RUSH transcript from "The O'Reilly Factor," June 17, 2013. This copy may not be in its final form and may be updated.
Watch "The O'Reilly Factor" weeknights at 8 p.m. and 11 p.m. ET!
O'REILLY: "Personal Story" segment tonight. CBS News announced on Friday that Investigative Correspondent Sharyl Attkisson's computer was hacked into late last year. This, combined with the James Rosen situation here at Fox News and the A.P. snooping, causing a lot of concern.
With us now on a Factor Cable Exclusive is Ms. Attkisson. So, when did you know that somebody was messing with your computer.
SHARYL ATTKISSON, INVESTIGATIVE CORRESPONDENT, CBS NEWS: Well, there were signs probably around 2011 but I don't think I recognized exactly what was going on until perhaps the fall of last year when so many things were happening in the Attkisson household, so many of sort of strange electronic related things that --
O'REILLY: Give me an example because I don't know anything about computers. Give me an example.
ATTKISSON: I know very little, too. But the computers coming on by themselves at night. My personal Apple desktop as well as my CBS --
O'REILLY: -- disappearing. You weren't even there, just popped on.
ATTKISSON: Right.
ATTKISSON: I mean I was sleeping. So, they would come on in the middle of the night, sometimes one right after the other. By the time last fall came around, they would sometimes both be starting up kind of a cacophony of computer music at night, in the middle of the night.
O'REILLY: So, you had a personal and you had a business computer. And they both came on. Sounds like poltergeist.
ATTKISSON: Right.
O'REILLY: You know, it's something like that. So, what were you working on that might have interested somebody to try to intrude on your computer. What were you working on.
ATTKISSON: Well, you know, the first I thought of sometime ago were my personal accounts, my finances, my passwords and so on. But nobody has intruded upon my finances although they had access to that material.
So, nobody stole my identity or got into my bank accounts, which they could have. So, I assume the reason they were in the CBS computer is something related to what I was working on and --
O'REILLY: Which was what. What big stories were you working on.
ATTKISSON: Well, at the time, I was doing "Fast and Furious," of course, some "Green Energy" debacle, sort of stimulus-spending stories, and then later on, the "Benghazi Story."
O'REILLY: All right. So, they were all not complimentary to the administration. You were working on --
ATTKISSON: Well, yes.
O'REILLY: -- "Why Is Barack Obama So Brilliant" and "Obama did the Best Thing in the World."
ATTKISSON: Yes, I mean it's kind of what I do, whichever administration is in office. That's kind of what I do.
O'REILLY: Right. I'm not saying you were partisan. But I'm saying that the stuff you were going after, if the information came forth, might hurt the Obama administration. Is that accurate.
ATTKISSON: True.
O'REILLY: OK. So then, CBS then, -- you tell CBS News that you think somebody is hacking you because your computers are coming on by themselves. Did they send in their techs.
ATTKISSON: Not exactly. I mean, I had more information than just my suspicion by the time I went to CBS. I had some help that I can't go into detail about.
O'REILLY: All right. So, you got some computer geeks to help you find out if, indeed, you're being hacked.
ATTKISSON: I got some help. And then in January -- this was about January of this past year, I informed CBS once I knew because this is CBSs-issued equipment and they were in the CBS systems. And CBS hired an independent forensic firm that came and looked at the CBS computer.
O'REILLY: And they found out that you, indeed, were being hacked and made the announcement on Friday. So, where does it go from here?
I guess CBS could sue somebody but you've got to have somebody who is under suspicion, right? Do you have somebody who is under suspicion.
ATTKISSON: Well, we're being cautioned, you know, what to say and what not to say at this point.
O'REILLY: By whom.
ATTKISSON: I have attorneys at CBS who are helping us through this. I also have personal counsel.
O'REILLY: And so, all your counsels are saying, "Don't say anything." Just maybe you have the same counsel that the attorney general and Ed Muller has?
No, it's a joke. Bad joke. Sorry. So, all of your counsels are saying, "Don't accuse anybody right now."
ATTKISSON: Well, they're just telling us what we can say, more than anything right now, which is, you know, what you basically heard, that there has been an intrusion of the computer, this is not phishing, this is not malware.
This is not ordinary, as someone asked me, old boyfriend trying to look through my files. They know it's not that.
O'REILLY: No. This is big.
ATTKISSON: Yes.
O'REILLY: Yes. But in order to go after somebody, you've got to have the suspicion. And I assume you have a suspicion.
You don't have to tell me. I don't want to get your lawyers mad. But I assume you have a suspicion.
ATTKISSON: Well, I think I know. But I am just not prepared to go into that. So, we're continuing our investigation.
O'REILLY: Right.
ATTKISSON: There are multifaceted, you know, looks at what to do next and where we're going.
O'REILLY: Sharyl, you've got to break it on this show.
I mean, I guess you've got to break it on CBS.
ATTKISSON: Break it on my own network first.
O'REILLY: Yes, you've got to do that. But then you have to come here because it's a big story. You know, with Rosen and everything, I mean it's a big story.
If it's organized, if it's from the federal government snooping on your computer, we've got to know.
ATTKISSON: Let me just say, whoever did it, to come into a private citizen's home, whether I'm a journalist or not, and look in my family's computer and look in my work computer and go through it like they did, --
O'REILLY: You sue their butt off.
ATTKISSON: Well, it's outrageous.
O'REILLY: You sue their butt off.
ATTKISSON: It's outrageous.
O'REILLY: OK. All right, Sharyl, thanks for coming and we appreciate it. And you'll keep us posted, you promise.
ATTKISSON: I do.
O'REILLY: Because I know you are a lady of your word.
ATTKISSON: I am.

Legends of Tomorrow Exclusive: Rip's Rescue Mission Goes Terribly, Terribly Wrong!

Some of Ireland's top GAA stars, with the support of Aer Lingus, will lead a work party to Breezy Point in New York at the end of the month where they will help complete the reconstruction of the local CYO athletic program facilities destroyed during Hurricane Sandy.
Cork hurler and chairman of the Gaelic Players Association (GPA) Donal Óg Cusack, along with former Dublin All-Ireland winning manager Pat Gilroy, will head the 17-strong team consisting of former players, tradesmen, engineers and officials from the GPA and Aer Lingus who are ready to roll up their sleeves and make a practical contribution to the rebuilding effort.
The idea came about following the visit of the GAA/GPA all-stars to the community last November. Having witnessed the devastation first hand, the delegation, including Cusack and Gilroy, pledged to return to assist with the rebuilding of the CYO's community sports facilities destroyed due to the flooding. The GPA is also donating sports equipment and playing gear to the CYO members.
Now, thanks to the help of Aer Lingus who are carrying the work party to the US, that pledge will become a reality when the Irish team arrives on the Rockaway Peninsula ready to join the local effort to get the facilities for the children of the community up and running as soon as possible.
"When we arrived in Breezy Point last November we were shocked at the extent of the devastation – television footage and pictures did not reflect the destruction and loss. However, we were equally moved by the spirit of the people in this unique Irish-American community," said Cusack.
"Their sense of joy in seeing GAA players arrive, particularly with the Sam Maguire Cup, was genuine and inspiring. It was at that moment we resolved to return to offer our support to the reconstruction effort."
Irish Deputy Consul General Peter Ryan, who coordinated two Irish Days of Action for the communities most affected by Hurricane Sandy, including Breezy Point, is assisting with the effort.
The group will stay on site in Breezy Point and will work alongside the reconstruction team. A high profile fundraising event will also take place in Manhattan, and a delegation from the team will attend to promote the visit and the on-going efforts to rebuild the community.

Happy New Year to all.
We are pleased to announce that as of last December, we began producing our own donut icing. This has allowed us to completely remove the artificial colours and flavours from our donut line. We are now using pure cocoa and natural maple flavours in their place.
We did not want to be in the icing business but our supplier was not willing to make the change so we felt we had to do it ourselves. While many of our customers aren't concerned about artificial ingredients, we know that there are lots who are. Additionally, one of our major distributors discontinued the two varieties with the artificial ingredients, making them unavailable in many stores.
With this change, we expect that the distributor will reintroduce the two varieties and we would hope to see them become much more widely available in the coming months.
Please note that there may still be some boxes out in stores which contain the old ingredients. All boxes with the new formulation will be labeled with a new ingredient panel. Once we have used our existing box inventory, new boxes will be printed with the new ingredient list.

Press Release: Bulletin #3 – Day 12 of Tent City on steps of Berkeley's Post Office
Tent City to privateers: Hands off the public commons! Halt the heist of the Post Office!
The Tent City on the steps of Berkeley's main post office is now in its 12th day. Two dozen campers have been sleeping there to rally opposition to the Grand Theft of the people's Post Office being engineered by Postmaster General Donahoe and his right wing collaborators in Congress. "These post offices were paid for by our parents and grandparents," said one camper. "Why should they be sold off to line the pockets of a handful of big corporations?"
Postal police and postal inspectors come by every day and all night, threatening to remove the camp and its banners, and arrest the protesters. But the Tent City, now calling itself Berkeley Post Office Defense (BPOD), is standing firm.
The action has attracted broad support in the city, and some great media coverage including daily live reports from all TV channels. Every day hundreds of old and new supporters stop by the information table, volunteering to join the campaign to halt the sale of the building and defend the people's Post Office. Their strong support for the occupation is heartening. It seems that virtually the entire city of Berkeley wants to preserve the P.O. as a public institution, prevent it from being privatized, and defend the public commons.
Participants in the encampment include a retired postal letter carrier, a minister, two graphic artists, a computer programmer, a builder, musicians, a gardener, a livestreamer and a former mail handler. An active support group provides food, flyers, supplies and and sound system.
Protesters denounce the Postmaster General's decision to sell historic post offices in Berkeley, the Bronx (NY) and LaJolla (CA), close thousands of post offices and mail processing plants, and lay off 100,000-plus unionized postal workers making a living wage, in what they say is a "systematic plan to dismantle and privatize the postal service."
"Young people today are being robbed of future employment," said one passerby, "What jobs will be left for my young son and my daughter?" The Postal Service is one of a rapidly diminishing number of employers offering a living wage job, and is the largest unionized workplace in the nation with 550,000 workers. That makes it a prize target for the privateers who hope to bust up the Post Office and transfer the work to private companies paying Walmart wages.
Destruction of the public Post Office would have "a disproportionate effect on workers and communities of color," according to Tent City occupant Dave Welsh, a retired postal worker. "Today people of color make up 40% of the postal workforce (20% for African Americans). For many workers of all nationalities, it is one of the few places where living-wage jobs are still available in our low-pay, 'post-industrial' economy. The campaign to privatize and de-unionize the USPS is a threat to the livelihood of every affected worker and neighborhood. But it stands to hit hardest in those communities of color that are already suffering unemployment at Great Depression levels.
"We need a movement that puts in the forefront those most impacted by the postal crisis – Black, brown and rural communities; elderly, disabled and low-income people," Welsh added.
Every evening at the Tent City features a delicious, freshly cooked dinner; music by local and traveling musicians; a daily meeting to decide on strategy and tactics; and "movie night." Opening night featured the acclaimed Italian-language film, Il Postino (the Postman), followed up by The Postman, a Hollywood blockbuster; Matewan, about the coal wars and union organizing in Appalachia; and a film about the 1970 Postal Strike that shut down the country's mail service for most of a week.
The Post Office Defense action is the latest in a year-long campaign. The entire City Council came out against selling the Post Office, as did both houses of the California state legislature. Many hundreds came out to demonstrate and pack the hearings, or gathered at the steps and in the lobby to sing songs celebrating the Post Office, including "Please Mr. Postman" with new lyrics.
Legal action to stop the sale is under way, as well as a plan to rezone the P.O. as part of a historic district of public buildings, so it can't be sold to private investors.
Organizations supporting the struggle in Berkeley include Save the Berkeley Post Office committee, Berkeley Post Office Defense (BPOD) and Strike Debt Bay Area.

The Vintage Collection / Re: 2010 "Vintage" Collection Wave 3 - ROTJ« on: February 3, 2011, 06:01 PM »
Still waiting for the ROTJ wave to show up locally.
I just found it at Polo TRU this morning, so you should check it out.

Still waiting for the ROTJ wave to show up locally.
I'm beginning to see trickles of the Ki-Adi wave, which is getting me stressed because the Embo wave has barely had a full run at my local Targets - I've only seen them once.
Great Idea. I thought about doing the same thing for a Rex Clone. I've got an extra 12 inch AOTC clone, so if the Rex Bobble fits, I can swap it. If not, then I'll just paint it. And of course make the rest of the costume.
Without a doubt, a Kubrick is what, half the size of a SW figure? The original Falcon works decently with Kubrick figures actually. If you're looking for that kind of display.

STROUDSBURG — The Leadership Pocono Class of 2013 held its second class session on Nov. 14 at Geisinger Medical Center.
STROUDSBURG — The Leadership Pocono Class of 2013 held its second class session on Nov. 14 at Geisinger Medical Center.
The session was conducted by Dr. Allah Wilson and Dr. Angelo Senese, professors from the Business Department of East Stroudsburg University. They presented on the importance and key components of strategic planning to an organization and the implementation of the plan.
The class also learned about the process for leading change in an organization from the professors. Keith Koberlein presented about change in an ever changing world by using the book titled "Our Iceberg is Melting," a fable about a Penguin Colony in Antarctica.
The class expectations were met. A few quotes from the class on the day:
"I was surprised at how a fable about penguins can relate to implementing change in my life," said Molly from Shawnee.
"It was helpful to me to see how closely an organization's mission statement, vision statement and objectives relate to each other in the strategic planning process," said Taylor from the Association of Realtors.
From Marylouise of ESSA, "I learned to hire people smarter than myself to support me at work."
Anyone wanting more information about how to become involved with Leadership Pocono, visit the website leadershippocono.org or call 570-421-4433.
The program is always looking for sponsors, mentors, speakers, and more to help build our future leaders.

College athlete, avid gamer and MBA graduate Stephen Gillett is leaving Starbucks to head up Best Buy's digital and global business services division. The 36-year-old former Starbucks CIO will start his new role at Best Buy effective March 14.
"I am very excited and pleased to be joining Best Buy. Life-long customer and thrilled to be a part of the team," Gillett tweeted this morning.
Gillett, whose official title is executive vice president and president, Best Buy digital and global business services, will report to company CEO Brian Dunn.
CIO PAYDAY: How much do top CIOs make?
"Stephen has that rare combination of business leadership skills, retail transformation experience, and digital and technological acumen -- he is uniquely positioned to make an immediate difference at Best Buy," Dunn said in a statement.
In his newly created position, Gillett will lead the company's e-commerce businesses, IT, and global shared services divisions. He's charged with speeding the growth of Best Buy by improving the company's global digital strategy, digital marketing, entertainment offerings, multi-channel capabilities and business development.
Before joining Best Buy, Gillett was CIO and executive vice president of digital ventures at Starbucks. In that role he earned a number of industry accolades. He was named to Fortune's "Executive Dream Team" as one of only two CIOs among the 25 executives recognized in 2011. Fortune also included him in its "40 Under 40" list last year, and he received the Aspen Institute Henry Crown Fellowship in 2010.
Gillett, who has ranked among the top guild masters in World of Warcraft, has credited his gaming skills with helping him to land a senior engineering position at Yahoo. After stints at Yahoo and CNET Networks, Gillett was CIO at Corbis, a digital media company owned by Bill Gates, before joining Starbucks in 2008.
Gillett earned a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Oregon, where he played football with the Oregon Ducks in the Pac-12 Division 1 conference. He received his MBA from San Francisco State University. [Also see: "Should tech pros get an MBA?")
News of Gillett joining Best Buy comes on the heels of a high-profile tech departure at the Minneapolis retailer. Earlier this week, Robert Stephens, founder of The Geek Squad and Best Buy's CTO, announced that he's leaving the company. CEO Dunn commented on Stephens' departure in a March 7 memo on the company's website:
"I knew it was only a matter of time before his curiosity and his desire to create something new would lead him to look outside the walls of Best Buy. And that time has come. As of today, Robert is stepping away from his full-time duties as our CTO, with plans to relocate to California. It pleases me to report, however, that while Robert will no longer be an employee of Best Buy, he'll continue to work for the enterprise on a handful of critical special projects."

Green Bubbles: How Apple Quietly Gets iPhone Users To Hate Android Users
from the design-choices-matter dept
Ford, then goes into a really interesting discussion on the nature of product management and design choices -- the kind of thing that Apple doesn't do on a whim -- to get to the real point: Apple is likely choosing harsh, ugly green bubbles on purpose. As a petty way to put down Android users:
Beyond highlighting Apple's apparent pettiness (and lack of ability to allow users to customize things for themselves), it also highlights how very minor design decisions do matter in a fairly big way. I recognize that some people like to get into tech fanboy wars: iPhone v. Android, Mac v. Windows v. Linux, Playstation v. Xbox, etc. That's going to happen, even if it mostly seems like a waste of time. But, really, using subtle design choices to highlight and further such fights seems to show such a childish attitude to competition. Good competitors focus on making their own products better, not demeaning the competition. It's when they run out of good ideas that the focus shifts to attacking the competition. Apple has done so many things right with the iPhone in pushing the barriers of innovation, it would be better if they just focused on making the overall customer experience better, rather than trying to offer subtle digs at non-iPhone users.
Apple must know by now that the people of the blue bubbles make fun of the people of the green. And I guess if I worked at Apple I'd be pretty psyched with this reaction. After all, what is a more powerful brand amplifier than social pressure? If people who converse in green bubbles start to feel relatively poor, or socially inferior, because they chose to use a less-expensive pocket supercomputer than those made by Apple, that could lead to iPhone sales. Ugly green bubbles = $$$$$ and promotions.
But I think the ugly green bubbles are the result of a mean-spirited, passive-aggressive product decision, marketed in a mean-spirited way. Certainly it's not a crisis in capitalism. This is not to say that Google is good and Apple is bad; they're both enormous structures that have so much power that they can manufacture their own realities (except for Google Glass, then not so much).
The bubbles are a subtle, little, silly thing but they are experienced by millions of people. That amplifies that product descision into a unsubtle, large, serious-yet-still silly thing. The people who are tweeting about green bubbles are following Apple's lead. It's not unprecedented; Apple has done stuff like this before, like giving Windows machines on its network a "Blue Screen of Death" icon. But people spend so much time texting that it adds up.

A Spring Grove woman died this morning after she slipped and fell under her rolling van while paramedics were preparing to take her husband to the hospital, police said.
The chain of events started at just before 2 a.m., when an ambulance was called to the Spring Grove home to assist a man with a undisclosed medical problem.
The man's wife, June Severs, 83, got in her van and backed out of the garage to follow the ambulance. For unknown reasons, she stepped out of the van, slipped on the wet pavement and fell under the van, according to a release from the McHenry County Sheriff.
The van was not in park, and rolled backward over Severs, police reported. She was taken to Centegra Hospital McHenry, where she was pronounced dead.
Her husband's condition was not disclosed.

It's funny how while software changes so fast, and many hardware components evolve at ridiculously fast paces (processors, memory, hard drives), the keyboard has remained largely unchanged over the years - until recently, that is. Even Lenovo has now buckled under the pressure, switching to a chiclet-style keyboard for ThinkPads - while also removing the SysReq key.

Yes, and as a user, I loved the sound. And I guess it must have been music in the ears of a discerning manager to listen to the developers at Tryllian -- many of them were using a model M, and vi, and had the habit of pressing Esc twice. Ratatata-beep! Ratatata! The sweet sound of extreme productivity.

The pressing need for engineers of virtually all disciplines has become increasingly urgent as relatively few students view and pursue engineering as a career. Business seems more attractive to many, and yeah, there's always psychology (the "new" liberal arts degree) that has a lot of sellers, but relatively few buyers, at least at the BA/BS level.
Yes, engineering education and engineers are vital for keeping our technological world moving ahead, but who keeps the underlying machinery, tools, and software moving at all? Technicians.
Whether you recognize them, or not, there are technicians in just about every field and industry. For example, automotive mechanics, machinists, cosmetologists, electricians, emergency medical technicians (EMTs) — the list is about endless. If it's "technical," the odds are extremely good that there is a technician involved somewhere in the chain, and that may include many links in the chain.
So, what exactly is a technician?
Technicians can be classified as either highly skilled or semi-skilled workers, and are usually an integral part of a larger process. They work in a variety of fields, and they usually have a job title with the designation "technician" following the particular category of work. For example, an engineering technician is a highly skilled, highly educated occupation requiring several years of post high school training in a formal apprenticeship and probably college (usually two year) for further education.
Experienced technicians in a specific domain typically have at least an intermediate understanding of theory and expert proficiency in technique. Because of this practical knowledge, technicians are generally better versed in technique compared to average laymen and even general professionals in that field of technology, namely engineers, for whom theory often trumps practice.
What is the Future of (Automotive) Technicians?

In the early 8th century, the Frisian King Rathod was sent by the victorious Frankish leader Charles Martell ("Charles the Hammer") to be converted by the monk who later became Saint Wolfram. Rathod was eventually convinced to undergo the ceremony of baptism, but stopped with one foot in the water to ask if his deceased forefathers were in the Christian heaven. "No," replied Wolfram, "in Hell, for they were heathens." Rathod promptly withdrew his foot and said that he preferred to remain with his ancestors.
The skald (courtly poet) Hallfreðr worked for the Norwegian King Olaf Tryggvason around the year 1000. Olaf had converted to Christianity in England in 995 and became a ruthless destroyer of pagan idols and sanctuaries in his homeland. His poets were required to wholeheartedly embrace the new faith, but Hallfreðr simply couldn't find it in himself to "vilify the gods." He wrote, "Odin, in your praise / Poets have always written // Godsent verse; well should I / Remember this. // Nor would I – for the Skaldmaster's / Gift meets mine - // Now hate Frigg's mighty / Lord, though I serve Christ." The lord of Frigg, queen of the Norse gods, is Odin. He is also the "Skaldmaster," the god who sends inspiration to the poet through his gift of the mystic Mead of Poetry. Hallfreðr could not bring himself to turn his back on the patron god of the skald.
At the end of his life and in his final sickness, Hallfreðr feared the Christian Hell that had replaced the Norse Valhalla: "I would die now / Soon and sorrow-free // If I knew my soul was safe - / Young I was sharp of tongue; // I know I grieve for nothing - / Everyone must die - // But I fear Hell; let God / Decide where I wear out my time." This lament echoes the words of Odin himself in the Eddic poem Hávamál ("Sayings of the High One"), in which he says, "Cattle die, kinsmen die, / the self must also die; / but glory never dies, / for the man who is able to achieve it." Raised in the deep tradition of Norse skaldic poetry, which was itself steeped in the mythology of the northern world, Hallfreðr could not completely turn against the faith that had informed his entire life. Before conversion, his place with the gods was secured by his poetry-making. After accepting Christianity, he lived his last years in fear that youthful indiscretions would damn him to Hell. For him, the new faith brought an end of hope rather than happy certainty.
In the age of conversion, Thor became the great adversary of Christ in the minds of those who followed the old faith. In the 10th century, there were tales that he fought the Christian King Olaf Tryggvason in a tug-of-war that took place over a fire. When Olaf Haraldsson was converting his fellow Norwegians in the early 11th century, some men told him that they simply could not switch faiths, because it would mean breaking their oaths to Thor and Frey, both of whom had given them aid and counsel throughout their lives. During the waning years of paganism, a passionate female follower of Thor told a Christian missionary in Iceland that Thor had issued a personal challenge of single combat to Christ.

Folk tradition, or lower religion, seems to have held on much longer. In the 17th century, the English poet John Milton could enjoy tales of hobgoblins and country spirits without feeling conflict with his Christian faith. In today's Iceland, belief in elves continues to the present day. Five percent of Icelanders claim to have met one of the Huldufólk ("hidden people"), and 53 percent of the population believe in them - or at least won't take the chance of offending them by denying their existence, in case they do exist. Árni Björnsson, former Head of the Folklore Department of the National Museum of Iceland, says, "Most of us do not actively believe in these things, but on the other hand we are reluctant to deny their existence. It is really a form of scepticism. We live in a land which is highly unpredictable - what is grass and meadow today could be lava and ash tomorrow. So we have learnt not to rely too much on the factual evidence of our senses." Belief in the old ways, even if tongue-in-cheek, never really completely disappeared.

Internet Personals
If you read Salon, Nerve or a slate (no pun intended) of other online magazines and journals, you're familiar with the ubiquitous personals ads. You know the ones, where a different person is featured every day or so? Despite the fact that they're branded for each site, they're operated by one company and draw on the same database of people (here are all the sites that use this service).
Regardless, the guys at the geek humour site BBSpot have been doing an excellent thing lately. For each personals ad that goes up, they make one of their own to put underneath it. Here's today's (for comparison purposes, I put them side by side):
Huh. Note the Die Hard poster in the corner of the second photo. Don't know about that.

Players who are more dedicated to offline play won't fare so well. The story mode hasn't changed at all, nor have a majority of the game's single-player offerings. The addition of a brand-new Survival mode is a nice touch, but like most one-player modes in fighting games, it will be played for a short while and then abandoned almost immediately thereafter. Versus also hasn't seen any alterations, and since it's the place you will be spending most of your time, it's easy to miss a lot of the "extras" that DOA5: Ultimate has.
Perhaps the most notable addition to Dead or Alive 5: Ultimate's offline mode is the addition of a comprehensive tutorial. Much different from the simple move tutorials that the original Dead or Alive 5 had, this new tutorial mode walks you through everything from basic movement concepts to the advanced mix-up game. It's easily one of the best tutorials we have seen in a fighting game so far, except there is one problem: It doesn't have a sense of pacing. It simply plods along at a snail's pace, spending too much time on easy concepts and not enough time on difficult ones. It's presentation is also dry, which is likely to cause newbies to get bored and skip it, even though they desperately need to learn the concepts that the tutorial contains.
Everything else about the game is, unfortunately, aesthetic. Characters have new costumes, new animations, new intros, etc., but this doesn't affect the game in any profound way. Overall, Dead or Alive 5: Ultimate just doesn't feel "new." There's nothing here that couldn't have been handled in a patch or title update, and the fact that we have to buy an entire other game again feels a bit like a rip-off.
Whether or not you purchase Dead or Alive 5: Ultimate will largely depend on whether or not you are still playing Dead or Alive 5. If you have already grown bored of the game, then Ultimate isn't going to do much to reinvigorate your passion. If you haven't, however, then Dead or Alive 5: Ultimate is a purchase that you pretty much have to make. All the tournament players will be migrating there, as well as much of the online community. So if you want to continue playing Dead or Alive 5, you are basically going to be strong-armed into purchasing Ultimate anyway. It's a very nice DOA5 expansion pack, but that's really all it is. Frankly, Dead or Alive 5: Ultimate will only appeal to total die-hard Dead or Alive fanatics and casual fighting-game fans that missed the game the first time around.

Up until this week, we were being told that only 0.8 million foreign migrants had come to work in the UK, while the labour market had grown by 2.7m new jobs. Now the Government has had to revise both figures, admitting that in fact 1.1m new migrants had entered Britain, while only 2.1m new jobs had been created. Far from creating "British jobs for British workers," it appears that Gordon Brown has been creating British jobs for foreign workers.
Except that it's all tosh, of course.
For one thing, Gordon Brown has created only about a couple of hundred thousand new jobs, largely by employing new civil servants, nurses and other public sector employees. Most of the 2.1m new jobs were created in spite of Labour efforts rather than because of them. They are private sector jobs, and a good job too.
But what of Brown's supposed crackdown on migrant labour? Does it matter that 52% of the new jobs have gone to migrants? And who is to blame?
The crackdown on migrant labour is boneheaded Labour nonsense and should be treated with disdain. A real policy of creating "British jobs for British workers" would be illegal under European law, and even if one would rather be out of the European Union it remains an ignorant and self-defeating policy. 1.1m workers are 1.1m workers, whether they come from Portsmouth, Poland or Peru. As long as they work hard they are creating value for the whole community; as long as they earn and spend they are creating jobs for other - mostly British - people; and as long as they are paying taxes they are contributing to the schools and hospitals that we all use.
That these "British jobs" could have gone to "British workers" is of course true, but it is not as though British workers could not have filled them. There are 1.65m unemployed in the UK, and one has to wonder why so many remain unemployed if we have had to import 1.1m workers from abroad to fill the vacancies. The explanation comes from debunking three myths:
- Jobs are not created by ministers and civil servants. They are created by businesses that can see a way of turning labour into profit. If they can hire a person and generate more capital than they need pay in wages, it is worth their creating a job. Those jobs were potentially there as long as people were willing to work at that price. It is the availability of foreign labour prepared to work at those prices that created those jobs.
- Britain's unemployed were more than welcome to apply for those jobs. Many may have done so; many more did not. There have been numerous managers interviewed for TV and the papers who have stated that they have offered jobs in areas of high unemployment for years and local people have not applied.
- We would not have created 2.1m jobs if 1.1m foreigners had not come here to work. As noted above, they spend their wages in our shops, require us to hire our teachers and use products made by our manufacturers. A significant part of those 2.1m jobs are feedback; many of those 2.1m exist because othes within that 2.1m (including within the 1.1m) exist;
The simple truth is that as long as we pay people not to work, we will need to import foreign labour to do the jobs that British people are unwilling to take on. On any day in the UK there are approximately two thirds of a million job vacancies. The problem in the UK is not too many foreign workers; it is too many British people who are not willing to take the jobs that are available.

Renewable Energy
Renewable energy is made from resources Mother Nature can replace, like wind, water and sunshine.
Renewable energy is also called "clean energy" or "green power" because it doesn't pollute the air or the water.
Instead of using electricity to make wind, a wind turbine is used to make electricity.
Biomass energy uses natural materials like trees and plants to make electricity. It can also mean waste products like trash.
A hydro power plant in Wisconsin has been making electricity for almost 100 years.
The sunlight that shines on the Earth in just one hour could meet world energy demand for an entire year.
Geothermal Energy and how it works
The hot lava from a volcano and the hot steam from a geyser both come from underground heat - and we can use that same type of heat in our homes.

Amelia (US - BD RA)
Gabe wants to spoil the ending: She doesn't make it around the world...
Amelia, the story of Amelia Earhart, the pilot that broke sexual barriers and captured the worlds attention, is ripe and proper piece of Oscar bait if I ever saw some. First off – it's a big name biography piece, and if films like A Beautiful Mind, Ray and Walk the Line can spin prestigious nominations and even wins from utter mediocrity simply because they biographical studies. Then comes the director, perpetual awards bridesmaid Mira Nair, who in grand Oscar bait tradition forgoes her usual style in favour of a classic period look. Co-scripter Ronald Bass fills the role of has-been whose name still perks up a few Academy eyebrows. He wrote Rain Man, and followed it up with a whole collection of well received 'chick-flicks'. But bio flicks rarely take home the director, screenplay or picture award ( Amadeus and for some reason A Beautiful Mind excepted), the money is in the actor categories, and Amelia features one of the Academy's favourites, Hilary Swank, in the lead role (and the producer's seat). Swank is supported by another has-been with good will in Richard Gere in a well calculated swing at an under the wire supporting actor nomination (as Earhart's husband and publicist George Putnam).
Amelia feels like every other bio flick ever, including historically freckled, skip-to-my-loo plotting marking the well treaded factoids, broad, caricature-like acting with lots of accents, and luscious photography that pays almost pornographic attention to period details. Nair even drops in a few pieces of news reel footage to keep things extra predictable. The good news is that things keep moving at a clip, despite being pretty dull dramatically, so the film doesn't feel like an overwhelming epic. The flying scenes feel pretty good, until the camera cuts back to Swank, and she's suddenly cut against a very obvious and static green screen for broad reactions. I didn't expect much from the film in the areas of plot or drama because I've grown awfully jaded by the yearly influx of bio flicks, almost none of which I end up liking, but like everyone else I end up watching. Amelia doesn't come across as a spoof of the genre or anything, but it often feels like Nair and Bass had a checklist of moments they knew they had to cover in just under two hours. Clearly predictability isn't really a complaint when it comes to a well known biography, but there likely had to be someway to tell this particular story in a little less conventional arena, especially since they don't have an ending to fall back on.
The real disappointment, and thing that goes against expectations is the acting. Swank plays Earhart as a flimsy cartoon version of a human being. I honestly got more out of Amy Adams' even more cartoony, Katherine Hepburn on too much caffeine version of Earhart in Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian, because Adams at least presented something to react to. Swank's skills haven't been in question since Boy's Don't Cry, but for some reason she never connects with this role. Gere is no better, playing an equally characterless version of the stalwart generic male companion he's been coasting on for years. Ewan McGregor isn't given a lot to work with, but is a warm spot in the mix. At the very least the film doesn't over-romanticize the facts of Earhart's life (she participated in cheating on several occasions), even if it over-romanticizes her person and the events we know she had a part in. Unfortunately attempts at romanticizing of her personal life fall very flat, and do begin to approach down right silliness. It's good that Nair creates the characters out of images more than words (perhaps putting too much faith in her actors), but the occasional storytelling/narration aspect drags the film down into uninspired telling without showing.
Amelia looks a lot like Scorsese's The Aviator, from film stock, to lighting schemes and colour pallets. It's a clean, golden look with consistently bright and soft lighting, basically equating a colour equivalent to sepia tone. Nair does devote sections of her compositions to fine details, mostly of the decorative variety, but the film is far from what I'd call Baroque, and often the focus is set quite shallow, so fine details don't make the difference in this particular HD transfer. The Blu-ray's 1080p abilities are best utilized in the cleanliness of this particular imagery, which rarely displays more than incredibly fine grain, and occasional digital impurity (a few night shots towards the end of the film are pretty grainy). The whole film creates a sensation of floating and delicacy, likely intended based on the subject matter, and as a result there isn't a lot of harsh edging or contrasts. When blacks and whites enter the equation they are perfectly pure, but besides the newsreels there isn't a lot of sharpness for comparison against other HD releases. The brown, yellow, and auburn colours are gorgeous and clean, and the red highlights pop nicely against them with only the slightest bleeding or noise. The sky blue hues are the only elements with occasional dirt issues, but this is not a consistent problem. There are a few outstanding scenes that rail against the predetermined look, like a montage of Earhart selling out her name, and these stick out nicely against the otherwise successful warmth of the transfer.
Amelia comes fitted with a Fox usual DTS-HD 5.1 Master Audio soundtrack. The only moments of real aural intrigue revolve around flying, but even these are relatively subdued for a modern release. Airplanes zip and buzz throughout the channels, their engines rumbling the LFE with enough oomph to let you know the volume levels are at the right spot. Storm scenes offer a little more splattering rain and bass bump in the form of thunder, but Amelia isn't really mixed with expressive 5.1 style in mind. The dialogue is centered and clean, and sounds plenty consistent and realistic. The narration stands out nicely with a higher volume and crisper sound. Music plays an important roll in establishing the period, and the period pieces are worked into the film are placed well into the appropriate speakers. Often things just shoot from the front channels, but on several occasions the rear channels get in on the action, in the form of both delegated score selections, and moving onscreen soundtrack. Overall Gabriel Yared's score is quiet and melodramatic, so it doesn't have a heavy LFE presence, but its warmth and clarity are unquestionable.
The special features begin with a run of ten deleted scenes (14:00, HD). These fill in much of the historical record, and some might have added something to Swanks character, but I'd hate to sit through 14 more minutes of this particular film. Mostly the loser here is Virginia Madsen, who gives a good performance as Dorothy Putnam, George Putnam's first wife. Next up is 'Making Amelia' (23:00, HD), a well constructed EPK likely used to promote the film on television. The cast and crew give their most basic opinions on the subjects and characters, intercut with a whole lot of footage from the film, and a few snippits of behind the scenes footage. Most of the focus is placed upon the real characters, the cast, the locations and filming the flying, which was mostly achieved without special effects. 'The Power of Amelia Earhart' (10:45, HD) takes a little more time explore the historical relevance of the real Earhart, though in pretty broad strokes, while 'The Plane Behind the Legend' (4:30, HD) glances at the historical Electra (Earhart's final plane), and 'Reconstructing the Planes of Amelia' (6:30, HD) takes a look at the production and construction of the planes used in the film. Things end with a collection of eight real Fox Movietone News reels (6:40, SD), and trailers for other Fox releases.
I'm struggling to find something genuinely positive to say about Amelia beyond 'it's a very handsome looking film', but I'm coming up empty. The drama comes off as trite and false, the acting is below standards, and the look is predictable for the director, who has succeeded though utter style in the past. I never felt the excitement of Earhart's adventures, or the weight of tragic disappearance, which is summed up by a suspense free series of missed radio transmissions. I really just watched the movie in as passive a manner as possible. The Blu-ray release features a very clean and consistent transfer, but doesn't really earn its uncompressed DTS-HD track.

Personally, Richard Gere isn't a good actor at all IMO. He's always carried by good actresses. For ex. Julia Roberts and Diane Lane, who both were in two films with him and who both stole the show. Still, I want to see Amelia, especially now finding out it's only gonna be 1 hr. 45 mins. at most (not counting intro and outro credits.) So, I don't think I'll get too bored.

This was rather disappionting. Although, I must say that the second half of the film tends to be quite engaging at times, it's much better than the first half. The Editing was quite poor, it felt fairly jumpy especially during earlier scenes. Performances wise, nothing special, Swank was merely passable but the rest of the cast were quite poor. Technically wise though, it's beautifully shot and costume designs are top notch.

Definitely not a great film, but I enjoyed "Amelia" considerably more than "Coco Before Chanel". Like most, though, I'm suffering from biopicitis. I don't even particularly care to see the one about Tolstoy or the one with Darwin, no doubt just more of the same.

The appearance of Jerry Gro¬ din, director of last year's smash hit, "Pack Up Your Trebles," as ¦well as "Awake and Swing" this year, highlighted the eve¬ ning. Mr. Grodin spoke enthus¬ iastically of the progress already made by the cast and splendid chorus, and assured the women that the show this year would be as good as, If not better, than the one last year.

She voiced regret that the Commlllee had failed to include .lei'usaiem in the Jewish state, polntng out that the Peel Com¬ mission had envisaged interna¬ tional or Mrilish control of only ihe old city of Jerusalem. Mrs. Meirson termed a "sorrow¬ ful oinmission" the Inclusion in the Aral) stale of Western Gali¬ lee, since it has a \'ciy sm,'ill .'\ral> j)oi)ulalion and mak(\s little miinerical difference to eiliier the Arab or the .lewish state.

There are a few types of gamers in the gaming world. For some, gaming is literally their livelihood; for others, they just play Zynga's latest flavor of the month. And then there's the recreational gamer, who plays video games as a means of entertainment but doesn't really focus on the latest trends in gaming. Hardcore gamers, on the other hand, are more interested in building their own gaming systems and upgrading their towers and notebooks. If you're a hardcore gamer, this post is not for you. You're likely to spend whatever it takes to get the best gaming experience.
If you're a recreational gamer, however, you may be happy with purchasing a system that's ready to go out of the box. But what you may not know is that you can usually upgrade your current PC by swapping out certain parts, and for a much cheaper price than the cost of buying an entirely new system.
The processor, RAM, and video card can usually be swapped in and out of your system pretty easily (although the processor does take a little know-how, as it isn't just "snap in" hardware like your system memory). Choosing the right graphics card can be a bit tricky too, especially if you don't keep up on the latest hardware. There are new releases every year, and the number of choices can be overwhelming. For a purely recreational gamer, the trick is finding the right mix of affordability and power.
There are two major players in the video card industry, AMD Radeon and Nvidia, and each of these cards is based on one of those company's architectures. However, you may notice that there are a variety of other company names in play here. You'll see things like MSI, Gigabyte, and Power Color. Imagine these other company titles like "editions" of a graphics card. Nvidia and ATI do provide the main beef of the GPU here, but some developers are keen to add personal touches like custom cooling systems and heat sinks. MSI may opt to use a different fan structure than Gigabyte, and vice versa.
With that said, there are plenty of options for graphics cards out there. If you're a recreational gamer on a budget, all of the cards on this list can be had for under $130. Let's take a look.
MSI Nvidia GeForce GTX 650 ($110)
The GeForce GTX 650 is a great place to start if you're looking for a lower budget card with a lot of power. Cooling comes in the form of a single fan, but it does add some thickness to the card. Although it only uses one PCI 3.0 express port, you'll end up using two spaces to accommodate this card due to its hefty size.
According to benchmark scores by AnandTech, it unfortunately has high marks in areas where a high score is less than ideal. The GeForce GTX 650 saw high ratings in temperature, energy consumption, and even noise level. However, those variables aside, this is easily one of the better cards on the market for the price. It offers a solid amount of graphical prowess and manages to stay close to the $100 mark. There are even a number of sites offering rebates. For example, Newegg has the GTX 650 on sale right now for $100, or $80 after a $20 rebate.
Nvidia GeForce GTX 650 Ti ($125)
If you're looking for something a little stronger, but don't want to push the price point too much, consider the Nvidia GeForce GTX 650 Ti, the big brother of the previously mentioned GTX 650. With this unit, you're getting a max resolution of 2560 x 1600, and 1GB of GDDR5 video memory.
In terms of power, the GTX 650 Ti edges out the GTX 650 in a number of benchmarks. Using the compare tool from AnandTech, most of the categories concerning performance and graphics capability go to the GTX 650 Ti. The downside, however, is that the card consumes more energy and runs at a higher temperature than its close relative. That being said, the GTX 650 Ti is actually a little quieter while running. The price difference isn't much, and this card will give you a little more bang for your buck at $125 from SuperBiiz.
MSI ATI Radeon HD 7770 ($109)
Maybe Nvidia isn't your cup of tea. If you're an ATI fan, check out the MSI ATI Radeon HD 7770. It's larger in physical size, taking up two expansion slots due to its large heat sink and fan.
According to AnandTech, this card shares a lot of close benchmark ratings with the Nvidia GTX 650. The race between these two cards is close in both frame rates and high quality texture output. The Radeon HD 7770 even manages to run a bit quieter than the GTX 650. When it comes to temperature output though, the Radeon soars (in the wrong direction), boasting a rating that is a solid ten points higher than that of the GTX 650 in most tests. You can grab this card from Newegg on sale for $100. As is with the GTX 650, Newegg also offers a $20 rebate, bringing it down to $80.
Gigabyte ATI Radeon 7750 ($94)
If you're looking for something a little cheaper, but you still want the ability to play a lot of the latest games, then check out the Gigabyte ATI Radeon 7750. With a large heat sink and fan, it's another big card that fills up two expansion slots.
The graphical capabilities of this card are better than average. According to the benchmarks by AnandTech, this card performs very well when playing games like Crysis 3, Dirt 3, and Total War: Shogun 2. Just like all the other cards here, it performs at a fairly high temperature and consumes a little more power than we'd like, but for such a low price, it's hard to argue. According to DT's resident PC reviewer Matt Smith, the Radeon 7770 is the bare minimum that anyone gaming more than occasionally should consider, and it's even what Smith uses for gaming on his living room PC. We found the Gigabyte ATI Radeon 7750 from Portatech for $94.
PowerColor ATI Radeon 7790 ($129)
Last up is the PowerColor ATI Radeon 7790, a slick looking video card that performs better than the Radeon HD 7770, but is slightly more expensive. If you're willing to shell out the extra $20 to $30 to upgrade to this card, you'll have 1GB GDDR5 video memory and a max resolution of 4096 x 2160 (if you're going HD).
According to AnandTech, the Radeon 7790 edges out the Radeon HD 7770 in every area tested. For example, we are looking at the texture decompression speeds (based on tests from AnandTech) within the game Civilization V. This game uses DirectCompute to decompress textures while the game is being played. This particular test was done during one of the game's "leader scenes" (showcasing a leader of a specific civilization), and focused on how quickly each card was capable of performing this task. The Radeon HD 7770 features a texture decompression of 215.8, while the Radeon HD 7790 showcases a slightly higher speed of 242.1. We won't bore you with the technical jargon associated with texture decompression, but to get a better perspective of the worth of these cards, simply put, the higher the score the better.
This card can be had for $129 from SuperBiiz, which is a very good price if you're looking for power on a budget.

Man wins lottery, wife doesn't know
Man wins lottery, wife doesn't know
A Williamston man who has known for week that he won the lottery says he hasn't mentioned it to his wife.
His excuse is he's "been working."
According to the winner, his wife doesn't suspect a thing. He says he's been completely calm since winning $200,000 off a Double Mega Tripler scratch-off.
"I'm going to show her the check when I get home," he said as he left the Lottery's Columbia claims center.
"I'm very thankful," he said. And he figures she'll feel the same way.
For selling the claimed ticket, the Country Corner Exxon on N. Highway 81 in Anderson received a commission of $2,000.
At the time of this story, two top prizes of $200,000 remained in the $10 Double Mega Tripler game.

Fondly called "Gramma Honey," she also leaves behind five grandchildren, Carrie (Greg) Darcey-Klepzig of Moab, Christina (Jamin) Brown of Castle Rock, Colo., Thomas (Sydney) Green of Littleton, Colo., Beth Emmerich of San Diego, Calif., and Catherine Darcey of Brevard, N.C. She had five great-grandchildren, who were the sparkle in her eyes.
Her generous spirit endeared her to everyone. Always the family's social butterfly, she enjoyed being with family and friends. She will be greatly missed and forever in the hearts and memories of those who knew and loved her.

April marked the 18th birthday of the Individual Savings Account and saw the annual allowance boosted significantly to £20,000 – an increase of over 30% and a clear signal that the government recognises the importance and popularity of ISAs in the savings landscape. One in four adults now invests in an ISA¹.
Yet only 9% of ISA investors make full use of their allowance. Furthermore, despite the record low returns on offer and the impact of rising inflation on the real value of cash, 80% of subscriptions continue to be deposited in Cash ISAs¹.
The full tax saving and investment benefits of ISAs can only be achieved by investing for the long term, so it makes sense to use your allowance early in the tax year to put your money to work – and out of the taxman's reach – for longer.

The value of an investment with St. James's Place will be directly linked to the performance of the funds selected and may fall as well as rise. You may get back less than the amount invested. An investment in a Stocks and Shares ISA will not provide the security of capital associated with a Cash ISA.
The favourable tax treatment given to ISAs may not be maintained in the future, as they are subject to changes in legislation.
