Someone has made your fake account….Don't Worry…..Tracing facebook user
"Someone has sent me messages on facebook from a fake account telling on my boyfriend. He called some of my friends fat and racist and threats on my album pictures. I have a feeling its one of the people i know. Can facebook trace the IP Address of this person to find out who the hell is this? I've sent a message to Facebook but they are slow responders. I need to know now. Please help! "
I often see these kind of messages, Someone calling you/your friends "fat" and "racist"? Big deal. It's the Internet, the most public of public places. It's completely your fault for adding some "random dude" that you don't know. You must understand how web applications work.
Anyways here's the way of doing it:
First you got to find out the IP address of that User.To Do so we will be using "netstat" command in windows. If you want to know the IP address of a specific person on facebook or orkut or any chat service, there is only one way: Just invite or ping him for a chat and while chat is ON open 'Command Prompt' on your PC (Start >Run>cmd).
note: before trying this make sure you close all the other tabs in your browser. and only facebook is open. also if possible delete all the history and cache from your browser.
When command prompt opens Type the following command and hit Enter.
netstat -anAnd you will get all established connections IP addresses there. Note down all the suspicious IP's
The Next Step is to Trace that user using his IP address.To do so we will be using IP tracer service. Go to the below address and paste the IP address in the box that says "lookup this ip or website". and it will show you the location of the user.
http://www.ip-adress.com/ip_tracer/It will show you all the information about that user along with his ISP and a Location in the MAP. Now in the MAP Just click on "click for big ip address location" in the big picture you can actually zoom in. and try to recognize the area. If any serious matter just note down the ISP details in that page and contact them about the IP. they will respond you.
Other netstat commands:
-a Displays all connections and listening ports.
-e Displays Ethernet statistics. This may be combined with the -s option.
-n Displays addresses and port numbers in numerical form.
-p proto Shows connections for the protocol specified by proto; proto may be TCP or UDP.
-s option to display per-protocol statistics, proto may be TCP, UDP, or IP.
-r Displays the routing table.
-s Displays per-protocol statistics. By default, statistics are shown for TCP, UDP and IP; the
-p option may be used to specify a subset of the default.

subset: commoncrawl

In the heat of August, Riley Smith traveled to Wilmington to film, of all things, a Christmas movie.
The film was "Christmas in Conway," which premieres 9 p.m. Sunday on ABC, and it marked the actor's first time working on a project in Wilmington. Although, he had previously visited the area while dating "One Tree Hill" actress Danneel Harris.
Exploring the city this summer, Smith said that he noticed the appreciation he felt in his 20s for the downtown and club scene was no longer
a priority. Instead, he found himself more appreciative of everything else Wilmington had to offer.
More specifically, he "fell in love with the water," heading to the beach anytime he had the day off or a few hours to spare.
"I was there for six weeks but it wasn't long enough. You figure out the backbone of the town and get really close with the people. But then, it is time to leave," he said.
Smith remembers the first time he hit the beach fondly because the cast of "Eastbound and Down" happened to be filming a scene nearby. "I didn't even know that they filmed here," Smith said, laughing.
"Christmas in Conway" follows a husband's (Andy Garcia) attempts to build a Ferris wheel in his backyard to recreate the night he proposed to his wife (Mary-Louise Parker) before she succumbs to cancer. Smith's character, Tommy, is a landscaper who helps construct the 45-foot attraction. He also strikes up a romance with Mandy Moore's character, Natalie, the wife's live-in hospice worker.
"Tommy has flaws but he is trying to be a better person. He is a well-rounded guy, not a one-dimensional character, which made me excited about playing him," Smith said.
As for getting to act alongside Moore, Smith said, "You never catch her acting. It just comes so natural to her. She's great."
Smith is currently in Austin, Texas, filming North Carolina-native Nichols Sparks' upcoming Lifetime series "Deliverance Creek," a Civil War-set drama. It is expected to air next year.
To hear more from Smith, costar Cheri Oteri and director John Harrison about "Christmas in Conway," check out our coverage of the film.

Turn your world upside-down and you're looking at a very different planet. Antarctica, ringed by the vast exapse of the Southern Ocean, draws all the attention. Viewed from beneath, I think Earth might better resemble the habitable planets that are out there in the local galactic neighborhood, waiting to be found.
Speaking of upside-down planets, last week brought a curious back-to-back development. Three separate papers (one, two, three), posted to astro-ph on two successive days, presented strong Rossiter-McLaughlin-based evidence that both WASP-17b and HAT-P-7b are on severely misaligned, potentially retrograde orbits around their parent stars. Winn et al.'s data for HAT-P-7 are a near-exact inversion of the familiar sawtooth produced by well-behaved hot Jupiters such as HD 209458b or HD 189733b. It would appear that Dr. Kozai exerted a heavy hand during HAT-P-7b's early days:
The HAT-P-7 system is alarmingly compact. The star is roughly 80% larger than the Sun, and the orbit of the transiting planet is only about four times larger than the star itself. It looks, in fact, when drawn to scale and tilted to the proper inclination, like a schematic cartoon of a transiting system.
Remarkably, HAT-P-7 lies in the Kepler field, and was the subject of a teaser-like "brevia" published in Science a few weeks ago. In the folded Kepler light curve for HAT-P-7b it's easy to see the phase function of the orbiting planet, along with the primary transit and the secondary eclipse. The well-resolved depth of the secondary eclipse indicates that the spacecraft is performing up to spec and will be able to detect the transits of Earth-sized planets orbiting Sun-sized stars.
Interestingly, a near-perfectly inverted Rossiter-McLaughlin waveform doesn't necessarily mean that the planetary orbit is retrograde, but rather only that the angle between the planet's orbital angular momentum vector and the sky-projected spin axis of the star is close to 180 degrees. If the star's polar axis is pointing nearly in our direction, then the planetary orbit is close to polar. The small vsin(i) for HAT-P-7 provides a piece of evidence that HAT-P-7b's orbit might in fact be close to polar.

Missouri's Blue Book Available Online
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — The most recent edition of Missouri's official manual now is available online.
Commonly known as the "Blue Book," the manual was printed every two years until a 2010 law barred its paper publication. The goal was to save about $1.7 million in costs.
The Blue Book includes information about public officials and agencies, local governments, elections and political parties. The new online manual can be viewed at mobluebook.com.
However, the manual eventually could return to book form. Gov. Jay Nixon this year signed legislation allowing the secretary of state to provide an electronic copy of the Blue Book to a nonprofit organization. That group then can publish and sell the book in a paper format.

One of the position battles both head coach Hugh Freeze and defensive coordinator Dave Wommack discussed after Saturday's scrimmage is Rover safety, where Freeze said sophomore Chief Brown is pushing sophomore Trae Elston.
"Chief will have a much bigger role than he had last year," Wommack said after Saturday's scrimmage. I see Chief as a starter who can play both either Rover or free safety. I really haven't decided who will start yet. Chief might be a starter in the first game."
Elston started nine game at Rover last season and finished fifth on the team with 61 tackles, along with six pass breakups, a sack and a fumble recovery.
"He's done well," Wommack said of Elston. "He knows the defense, inside and out. He's a physical guy. I kind of worry about the targeting rule with him, but he's just got to play smart in that area. I like Trae Elston. He's a good football player."
Elsewhere in the secondary, at cornerback, senior Charles Sawyer has practiced, including some team drills, but has not participated in live contact drills. Injuries to Sawyer (shoulder) and junior Senquez Golson have given opportunities to other players at the position.
"I don't think we have been able to totally fix that because the injuries (Charles Sawyer and Senquez Golson) to the two guys who have the most experience," Wommack said. "It was good situation for us that Bobby Hill and Anthony Standifer and some others got more reps than they would have gotten. We have to get those other guys back to have better depth in the secondary"
Sophomore Quintavius Burdette and senior Dehendret Collins continue to run with the first-team defense, and Wommack has been pleased with the play of both.
"Burdette has tried to go against #12 (Donte Moncrief) every time out here, and you get better every day that you do that," Wommack said. "He's had some rough days because of that, Donte is one of the best players in the nation at wide receiver. Burdette is a competitor. He's grown up, and I don't see him put his head down like he used to last year. I'm excited about him.
"Collins has been very solid to me. I wish we could have played him at corner last year. We didn't have enough guys, and we were trying to get speed on the field. I think we absolutely have him in the right spot now. He's tough, he's physical, and he's a competitor. He does everything we need that corner to do."
Earlier in fall practice, sophomore Mike Hilton, who has gotten first-team reps at Huskie, also got some reps at corner, but Wommack said on Saturday they are training him, at this time, to play corner. Behind Hilton at Huskie, freshman Antonio Conner has gotten reps, including some first-team reps alongside Hilton in passing situations.
"He's going to play a lot," Wommack said of Conner. "He'll play in the first game. He has been exceptional, especially for a freshman, assignment-wise," Dave continued. "He has a physical nature and is a natural playmaker."
Up front, freshman defensive end Robert Nkemdiche and sophomore defensive tackle Issac Gross both practiced Saturday, and junior defensive end C.J. Johnson is expected to practice Monday. Wommack said he feels good about the depth there, when everyone is healthy, and sees a big role for Nkemdiche.
"He is going to play a lot," Wommack said of Nkemdiche. "We are going to keep those guys fresh by rotating them. I see him absolutely in the two-deep."
Developing Depth At RB, Offensive Line
Compared to last season, offensive coordinator Dan Werner feels better about the depth at both running back and offensive line.
It's a crowded backfield, led by senior Jeff Scott, who rushed 846 yards last season, and bolstered by a trio of freshmen in Mark Dodson, Kailo Moore and Jordan Wilkins. When asked on Saturday, Freeze said sophomore Jaylen Walton, right now, holds the No. 2 running back spot behind Scott.
On the injury front, Moore returned from concussion symptoms earlier this week, while sophomore I'Tavius Mathers (ankle) is out of his boot, and while he may not practice Monday, Freeze said he is close.
"Last year at this time, we had to move Randall Mackey to be the backup tailback," Werner said after Saturday's scrimmage. "This year, we have six or seven guys there. During the scrimmages, we're rolling them in and out. A guy knows if he doesn't make a right read or doesn't make a hard run, he's probably coming out and there's somebody else going in with a smile on his face."
There has been a lot of competition on the offensive line in fall practice, notably at left guard, where both junior Aaron Morris and senior Jared Duke have gotten first-team reps.
At other guard position, sophomore Justin Bell and senior Patrick Junen were listed as co-starters on the preseason depth chart. With Junen out, Bell has gotten most of the first-team reps, but Junen is expected to practice Monday.
Earlier in fall practice, offensive line coach Matt Luke said they should have eight or nine players ready to go this season, and Werner shared the same sentiment on Saturday.
"Last year at this time, we had five, maybe six guys that could play," Werner said. "This year, we've got about eight or nine, with Patrick Junen out right now. But from what I hear, he'll be back next week. Any time you have that many guys playing, it's just human nature you're going to play a little bit harder. You've got somebody behind you."
In the previous Saturday scrimmage, junior quarterback Wallace completed 6 of 11 passes for 125 yards with an interception. Throughout this past week, the coaches said they were pleased with Wallace, and it continued on Saturday.
"All of the quarterbacks looked better," Werner said. "I thought we protected the football better. We still have some issues with that, which has been kind of our camp motto - protect the ball. I thought for the most part (Bo) made good decisions, and we scored a lot of touchdowns. He completed a lot of balls, so I was pleased."
As for the freshmen, along with the three running backs, Laquon Treadwell continues to impress at slot receiver, where he has gotten most of the first-team reps, and drew praise from Freeze after Saturday's scrimmage.
Quincy Adeboyejo is in the rotation at outside receiver, along with junior Donte Moncrief, senior Ja-Mes Logan and sophomore Cody Core.
"He's a guy that was a big-time recruit but not as high as a couple of (others)," Werner said of Adeboyejo. "But, man, he came out right away and showed he's really fast, he's really explosive. He understands how to get into zones and make plays. He's another guy that will play a bunch."
On the offensive line, Laremy Tunsil has gotten most of the second-team reps at left tackle and earned first-team reps in Saturday's scrimmage with senior Emmanuel McCray out due to a family issue. Austin Golson has gotten second-team reps at both right guard and right tackle.
At tight end, Evan Engram, tights ends coach Maurice Harris said earlier this week, has separated himself some as a pass-catcher. Also at the position, Christian Morgan, who enrolled at Ole Miss in January, is expected to practice on Monday, as he recovers from a knee injury.
"If he goes through the next two weeks and feels like he can function," Freeze said of Morgan playing this season. "We're missing a lot of body types like his, if nothing else for short-yardage and special teams. I would like to see him play."

Judges at this year's Seattle Wine Awards recently selected Palouse Winery's 2009 Black Pearl Petite Sirah for a Double Gold Medal, the highest award given. The competition includes only wines produced in Washington state, and 16 judges evaluate each one on color, aroma, flavor, palate, balance, finish and overall impression.
Palouse Winery is located at the north end of Vashon and is owned by George and Linda Kirkish. Since releasing their first petite sirah in 2004, they say they have been committed to creating the best possible wines with Washington-grown grapes.
"We're really thrilled and honored to have been awarded this medal," they said in a recent press release.
The grapes for the award-winning wine came from Portteus Vineyard in Zillah, Wash., which is owned by Paul Portteus, a former Vashon Islander. His was one of the first small, family vineyards and wineries in the state.
Palouse Winery also received five additional awards at the competition: a Silver for its 2009 "Mystique" Merlot, a Silver for its 2011 "Pearlescence" Cabernet Franc Rose, a Bronze for its 2009 "Ahh!" Syrah, a Bronze for its 2009 "Eclipse" Red Blend and a Bronze for its 2009 "Dynamique" Cabernet Franc.
The winery offers a limited production of handcrafted wines. Its tasting room is open from noon to 5 p.m. Friday, Saturday and Sunday and other times by appointment. For more information, see www.palousewinery.com or call 567-4994.

Stephane Richelmi claimed a maiden GP2 victory at his home race as he led from start to finish in the Monaco GP sprint race ahead of Sergio Canamasas and Rio Haryanto.
Richelmi, starting on reverse-grid pole, effectively had the race sewn up into Ste Devote after holding position, with Canamasas unable to find a way through for the next 30 laps in a tense duel between the leading pair. It marked a perfect week in Monaco for the DAMS team following Jolyon Palmer's victory in Friday's feature race.
Harayanto came home third after Johnny Cecotto's aggressive driving early on meant he spent the closing stages of the race holding off a train of cars behind him in fourth. The race lacked the drama of Friday's race - which involved a safety car, a red flag and a frantic final sprint to the line - with a brief safety car period to remove Artem Markelov's car at Beau Rivage merely delaying the battle out in front rather than shaking it up.
Off the line Richelmi had to deal with the attentions of the two men he would share the podium with, Harayanto initially getting alongside the pole-sitter on the run down to Ste Devote. But Richelmi refused to budge and Harayanto had to give way, letting Canamasas steal second place, and spent the next few laps fending off the charging Cecotto.
Fellow Monaco local Stefano Coletti, who arguably threw away a nailed-on victory in Friday's race, moved from 13th to 19th on the first lap, while Felipe Nasr's title challenge took a major blow as he suffered a puncture coming into Mirabeau. The real incident of note of the opening lap came as Markelov braked abruptly coming into Massenet, causing Tio Ellinas to run into the back of him.
The Russian driver earnt a drive-through penalty, but he was immediately in the wars again, carrying too much speed into Ste Devote and scraping along the barrier, causing a safety car. Like with Friday's race, it seemed like the safety car period could cause a genuine change to the pecking order, but Cecotto's earlier pressure came back to haunt him.
Cecotto was unable to get anything from his tyres and soon had a train of cars behind him, though a superb display of defensive driving saw him hang on to fourth against all the odds - though 10 seconds separated the next 17 cars. One of those was championship leader Palmer, who kept himself out of trouble to extend his championship lead to 46 points after Nasr's retirement.
Out in front, Richelmi had also turned in a defensive masterclass in the face of trouble to earn his first GP2 victory in 54 attempts to the delight of the home crowd.

Eliot Cutler on Maine's "competitive advantage," collaboration and taxes
Gubernatorial hopeful Eliot Cutler and campaign staffer Annie Tselikis spent the day on the island talking to fishermen and small business owners about the challenges they face.
by Faith DeAmbrose and Nat Barrows
"If we don't start, we are never going to get there," said Independent gubernatorial candidate Eliot Cutler as he addressed a group of fishermen at Stonington's Harbor Café. "There," he explained, is about creating a path toward prosperity and growing the Maine economy in ways that ensure people work. The rest, he said—the tourism and other parts that make Maine, Maine—will follow naturally once the economy is on solid footing.
Cutler spent the day in the towns of Deer Isle and Stonington on Friday, February 21, meeting local business owners, passing out campaign materials and sitting for an interview with Penobscot Bay Press.
"What does Maine look like in 50 years?"
"The state of Maine should look younger, it should look different because people will have enough money to take care of their homes and buy new boats; people will have the ability to spend more time with their families because they will not have to work two jobs. That is how it will look different," said Cutler.
The state gets there by investing in "our competitive advantages and the things that we are good at," he said, as well as infrastructure and the creation of a capital budget.
Local industry, economic development and tourism
Highlighting "what Maine has to offer, building and sustaining fundamental industries, such as fishing, and branding the products created in the state," is one way to strengthen the local economy and encourage continued tourism, Cutler said.
There needs to be a "strategic relationship between how people make a living and this region as a tourist destination," he said. "If we don't sustain fishing, the surrounding towns will begin to collapse and people will leave. If that happens tourism will decline."
"We have done a lousy job of developing a statewide brand. You go to China and no one knows what a Maine lobster is," said Cutler, adding that the state should "promote and build on its competitive advantages."
On working together
"Don't spit in the other person's eye; it doesn't lead to constructive engagement," said Cutler, who in 2011 created the non-partisan OneMaine as a way to support politicians willing to work across the aisle to solve problems.
Cutler said he, if elected, would lead the state by "putting ideas forward that spark discussion" and then listen to all the stakeholders. "You [identify] common goals that people can agree on and then you build layers of agreement to reach those goals, and you have conversations with people that don't agree with you."
Cutler said that many legislators "go to Augusta to make things better, but often find that they don't have the leadership from the Blaine House to bring people together." All too often the politicians in Augusta have an attitude of "not in my term of office" when approaching long-term solutions. He feels there should be a holistic view of Maine and its interrelationships. "I have done a lot of things that have been successful by bringing people together; those leadership skills have made me successful," said Cutler, recounting a near-decade-long project to bring six cities and one county together to build a new airport outside of Denver, Colorado. "And I did projects like this all over the country for 30 years, and it will be these same set of skills—leadership and collaboration with intent and purpose," that Cutler says would follow him to Augusta.
What's your LD #1?
When asked what Legislative Document (commonly known as an LD) Cutler would consider putting his political capital behind, he responded with: "An Act to Make Maine's Tax Structure More Equitable, Fair and Efficient," as a suitable title for his first piece of legislation.
With a focus on "dramatically reducing the property tax burden and making the tax structure more fair and efficient," Cutler said he believes the current structure is an "irresponsible way to govern," and said his first objective would be to fix it.
The reason, he said: "Because every other objective—education, health care, attracting and retaining younger residents and creating a more prosperous economy—hinges on a "better, fairer tax structure."

In the 30 years he's been farming, John Thaemert says there have been three years when he felt as optimistic about the wheat outlook as he does in 2008.
Two days before Thaemert, the president of the National Association of Wheat Growers, said that, nearby spring wheat futures briefly touched an astounding $25 a bushel on the Minneapolis Grain Exchange.
But Thaemert says farmers have seen plenty of other years when wheat futures were trading below the loan rate, which is why his and other farm organizations are pushing so hard for a new farm bill.
"We simply can't forget about the farm bill," Thaemert said in an interview at the Commodity Classic in Nashville. "We need a safety net to make sure we can keep farmers on the land and rural communities from disappearing when prices decline."
"We think we have a budget number," he said, referring to reports the Agriculture Committee chairmen and the administration officials had agreed to spend $9.6 billion over the CBO baseline. "We need that amount.
"We hope to get a farm bill on the president's desk – and that he will sign it – within the next two weeks." (Thaemert, a wheat farmer from Sylvan Grove, Kan., was interviewed on Feb. 28.)
He said the $9.6 billion would not provide funding for the loan rate and target price adjustments Wheat Growers have been seeking in the new farm bill. But it will continue direct payments.
"Direct payments are the most WTO-compliant part of the commodity title," he said. "Farmers can budget for it, they can show that to their lender and it can help offset the deductible for federal crop insurance coverage."
Senate Ag Committee Chairman Tom Harkin seemed to acknowledge the political clout of the Wheat Growers and other farm groups when he was asked about direct payments on Feb. 28.
Harkin said he suggested a cut in direct payments during the committee mark-up of the farm bill but didn't have the votes to pass it. The administration hasn't shown much interest in reducing direct payments, either.
Instead, Agriculture Secretary Ed Schafer and Deputy Secretary Chuck Conner seem more interested in beating up on commercial-sized farmers who provide 70 percent of the nation's crops, as Kansas State University Economist Barry Flinchbaugh noted at the Commodity Classic.
The payment limit reforms the administration is pushing won't fill the $10 billion to $12 billion gap between the CBO baseline and what the Senate bill envisioned for commodity, conservation, energy, rural development, and nutrition programs.
Flinchbaugh says administration leaders and other farm bill foes seem to think high prices for corn, soybeans and wheat have eliminated the need for a farm safety net. "We hope these prices are here to stay, but we know they will go down at some point," said Thaemert, who also holds down a banking job when he isn't farming or traveling for the NAWG. "They haven't repealed the economic cycle."

Opinion: Obama's 500K Club
Best of the Web Today columnist James Taranto on Organizing for America's charging $500,000 for the opportunity to meet President Obama. Photos: Getty Images

... which you are ... about as an independent organization ... as reported in the press when gauging advocacy grassroots mobilization activities ... around public policy policy issues that will not be engaged ... in political campaign related activities ... it has been organized to rally support for the president's ... policy agenda but is a separate organization administration officials routinely interact with outside advocacy organizations ... this is been true in prior administrations ... and it is true in this one ... welcome to Opinion Journal why Mary Kissel that was White House spokesman Jay Carney ... rather scripted explanation of a new group ... this is a lousy to pay half a million bucks for access to the presence of this this and we've all ... become faster Web columnist James Taranto here to ... discuss that and ... what is organizing for America and what's the nation looks like they're organizing for America why does the Obama campaign in twenty twelve are only Obama for America that begin organizing for America ... now has a new name ... organizing for action oh ... five the ... proposition for is the common thread ... of organizing fraction is basically the Obama camp and reorganized as a corporation made with eco social welfare Corporation ... of under section ... which is exempt from taxation its operations the destinations are ... under section five the onesie for the Internal Revenue Co ... five ... this means that I've that if he did in fact can engage in political activity which party denies that it will hide the most important part about this conference is that Carney did not deny the report in the New York Times that it is selling access to the president that for five hundred thousand dollars you get to join the advisory board tenure promised quarterly meetings with the president instead ... of cheese that legal ... yes ... five ... if you think of it as an ethical ... well let's start with legal question ... in principle it's no different from when a candidate ... including the president what he was running for election ... ST's speaks of fund raising dinner or poses for pictures with top donors ... the difference is the amount of money ... a candidate can only collect five thousand some dollars under campaign finance restrictions ... what he can speak at a party fundraiser and he goes up by an order of knighthood that it's about forty thousand dollars category up by yet another order of knighthood or cluck like a cool half million ... they can do this because it's an independent organization as Mr. Carney said ... and therefore it's not subject to competition with Hostess is so great when you do it the first ... one couldn't do it in the first car ... because or twenty cats and was this is an independent organization ... if it'd been an independent organization the first time ... and you can get to fundraisers that would've been quart nation which is illegal even as an independent group to engage in political activity ... the CAC working with the campaign ... so Obama his price has suddenly gone up because ... These contribution limits which are in effect price controls on politicians ... CarMax's politicians don't apply to him because he's a lame duck and therefore no wonder that ... the really he did the Supreme Court case citizens United which gave free speech to corporations allow them to get these kind of donations ... to the one taking advantage of the benefits affected support while he probably would not have started this sort of organization ... I did ... were it not for citizens United ... this is what what they're doing it ... odd that the access selling would've been perfectly legal the forces indexes United only ... by effective political speech ... so the political speech of organizing fraction is not subject to regulation by the Federal election Commission ... RI and Diane and died there for that that that their tax exempt status ... AW deviance in question if they if they do too much political activity but that's a separate subject or does this give a big advance to the incumbent in the White House to raise these unlimited amounts of money ... well it depends on what organizing fraction HSBC's decides to do ... let's suppose that in twenty sixteen organizing fraction becomes an independent cat an independent group ... bought advocating on behalf of the election of the Democratic presidential nominee whoever that it's ... that would be preparing legal thanks to Citizens United ... by ... Goodwood I visited a clinic ordinate with the campaign ... watch ... they would have the advantage of the campaign with the with the president who will presumably still be Parker always with his party base ... so in theory could give a huge advantage to Obama in choosing his successor on the left is happy with this excess paint for access the present I thank God the left is on Kafka was a common cause which is a self described the government group and which by the way we should note is also five the onesie for Corporation the kind of group that thinks should not have free speech rights ... common causes calling on the Obama I'm organizing fraction ... shutdown ... I have a feeling they're not going to why not comply with that demand okay best to the Web columnist James Taranto ... thank you so much for being with us thanks a million box and you can speak to the president ...

I'd also be interested in the answer to that, as well as the following:I ordered two Hauppauge PVR-150's that come with the MCE remote and kit. Will I have any trouble getting things set up for the transmitters that come with that kit to control my satellite boxes (2 identical ones, one installed on the core and one installed on the MediaDirector)? Or, should I have gone with the plane-jane version of the PVR-150 and grabbed one or more USBUIRTs? Can a USBUIRT control multiple devices? Multiple identical devices?

GENEVA – A second hopeful – John J. Hosta of Spring Grove – has announced he will seek the Democratic nomination in the March 18 primary for the 14th Congressional District, the seat currently held by U.S. Rep. Randy Hultgren, R-Winfield.
Hosta, 55, a small business owner who makes custom bedding for interior designers, said he will kick off his campaign at 7 p.m. Nov. 22 in the Kane County Government Center, Building A, 719 S. Batavia Ave., Geneva.
"I'm a conservative Democrat," Hosta said.
In deciding this platform for seeking office, Hosta said he compiled a list of what he thinks is important and vital to people in the district.
" I feel I am not a hard-right liner and not hard liberal," Hosta said. "I'm a moderate."
His platform is to bring industry back to the United States with tax incentives. Hosta said the nation has lost 30 percent of its manufacturing jobs, directly related to imports in the last 12 years.
"I believe that the founding fathers of our country were dedicated to U.S. companies, protecting U.S. industries through tariffs," Hosta said. "Since World War II, we have fallen away from that. Companies seek what is most profitable for them and move abroad. ... I think that is very anti-American. The cry of the American people is for them to be faithful to this country and bring industries back."
Hosta also supports protections for Social Security and welfare, and said unemployment and food stamp programs need to be reviewed and strengthened – not cut.
"The elderly are scared, extremely concerned that benefits will be cut or have to be cut," Hosta said. "And people on disability – you can't just turn your back on them. As a society, we are obligated to these people."
Hosta is the second Democrat to declare for the primary, following Dennis Anderson of Gurnee. Anderson lost to incumbent Hultgren two years ago but announced in August that he would seek the Democratic nomination again. Hultgren announced in September his intention to seek re-election.
The 14th District includes seven suburban counties – Kane, DuPage, DeKalb, Will, McHenry, Lake and Kendall.

During the mid-1990s the James Bond franchise was in need of a reboot. Mr Pierce Brosnan was chosen to play the new 007, and costume designer Ms Lindy Hemming was chosen to re-calibrate the secret agent's style. She dressed 007 for a decade, and styled Mr Daniel Craig for his first Bond movie, Casino Royale. She has also worked on all three of Mr Christopher Nolan's Batman films, including The Dark Knight Rises, which is released later this month.
This summer Ms Hemming and fashion historian Ms Bronwyn Cosgrave are co-curating Designing 007 - Fifty Years of Bond Style, a comprehensive overview of the design and style of the films. The huge exhibition, at London's Barbican Centre, takes in the gadgets, sets, cars, casinos and clothes that have defined the 50 years of Bond movies.
Mr Pierce Brosnan as James Bond in The World is Not Enough, 1999
Mr Daniel Craig as James Bond in Casino Royale, 2006
Designing 007 - Fifty Years of Bond Style runs from 6 July to 5 September at the Barbican Centre, London. barbican.org.uk

I said exactly the opposite. I believe that scientists must spend enough time to become good computer programmers -- they must neither leave the task to others nor can they underestimate the amount of difficulty involved in the software. How it is possible that people managed to read that much and hear exactly the inverse of my central thesis, I don't understand at all. Perhaps everyone just hears what they want to. Perry

Although overshadowed in the public's mind by other World War II battles, the brutal land, sea, and air struggle for control of Guadalcanal proved the turning point of the conflict in the Pacific.
For the American generation who fought World War II, the significance of Guadalcanal was indelible. The landings on 7 August 1942, eight months exactly after the Pearl Harbor attack, marked the war's first U.S. offensive. For most of its six-month span, the Guadalcanal campaign faced no competitor for public attention. The seesaw tilt of fortunes riveted America. Its visibly swelling significance, and the very real prospect of defeat, emerged starkly even from the early terse official communiqués. On 16 October 1942, the New York Herald Tribune editorialized that "the shadows of a great conflict lie heavily over the Solomons—all that can be perceived is the magnitude of the stakes at issue." On this same date, with American fortunes at their lowest ebb, the New York Times provided its readers with words that sounded ominously like a eulogy: "Guadalcanal. The name that will not die out of the memories of this generation. It will endure with honor."1
Guadalcanal resonated deeply with the American people for a generation after the war, but its gradual decline in the national consciousness paralleled a shift in the dominance of the European over the Pacific theaters in historical memory. During the conflict, U.S. efforts as measured in casualties reflected approximately a 2 to 1 tilt to the European over the Pacific theater.2 While almost all well-stocked bookstores today feature a section of World War II titles, those works overwhelmingly address the war against Adolf Hitler's Germany. To restore Guadalcanal to its rightful place as a decisive event in not just the Pacific war but the whole sweep of American participation in World War II requires an appreciation for its contingency, its course, and the full span of its legacy.
No one anticipated an epic battle in the Solomon Islands, much less at Guadalcanal. The U.S. Navy's intensive examination of a potential war with Japan from 1906 to 1941 produced a consensus view ruling out efforts in the South Pacific. U.S. naval strategists believed that a Pacific war meant an American advance across the Central Pacific culminating in a showdown in the Western Pacific. Likewise, the British pledged to Australia and New Zealand that any potential threat from Japan would be met at distant Singapore, not near their shores in the South Pacific.3
Nor were the Japanese more farsighted. The centerpiece of Tokyo's war aims was the capture of resource areas of what was then the Dutch East Indies. Seizing positions as far to the south and east of the Home Islands as the Bismarck Archipelago and the Solomon Islands only emerged at the last moment as a serious feature in Japanese plans for what they called "The First Operational Stage" of the Pacific war. The opening moves of this first stage included occupation of Rabaul on New Britain as Japan's southeasternmost outpost. During a "Second Operational Stage," a defensive perimeter would be established around the southern resource areas, including eastern New Guinea, New Britain, the Fijis, Samoa, the Aleutians, and Midway.
An important personality, however, intervened to reorient Japanese planning. Vice Admiral Shigeyoshi Inoue commanded the Fourth Fleet, charged with defense of the eastern perimeter of Japan's Pacific empire. Inoue preached the importance of Rabaul—a position only 700 miles from the main Japanese bastion in the Central Pacific at Truk in the Caroline Islands. Inoue pointed out that the Allies could outflank Truk by taking Rabaul. Moreover, Inoue insisted that securing Rabaul dictated seizing airfield positions on New Guinea (Lae and Salamaua) and on Tulagi in the Solomons. This was crucial because Inoue's command was very short on warships and men. At least in theory, aircraft shuttled between these bases to counter Allied threats could offset his other weaknesses. When Inoue prevailed in inserting additional operations into Japanese plans that would result in the seizure of Tulagi and the thrust at Port Moresby that led to the Battle of the Coral Sea, he became the grandfather of the Guadalcanal campaign.4
If Inoue was the grandfather, Admiral Ernest J. King, the commander-in-chief, U.S. Fleet (COMINCH), was the father. Without King's resolution, there would not have been a Guadalcanal campaign. His basic insights were that the United States would have resources that would permit offensive action against both Germany and Japan and that it would be pure folly to grant Japan the time until Germany was vanquished to buttress its defensive perimeter.
King also exploited a set of circumstances that created a path to Guadalcanal. The most important was a political decision by British Prime Minister Winston S. Churchill and President Franklin D. Roosevelt that the Japanese would not be permitted to overrun Australia and New Zealand. Already at full stretch to defend its home islands and the Middle East, Britain lacked the resources to back that commitment. Moreover, the Japanese onslaught found almost all the small but excellent ground forces of the two Commonwealth nations (one New Zealand and three Australian divisions) in the Middle East. Roosevelt shrewdly offered American forces to fill the gap. This commitment led to the stationing of Army and Marine units not only in Australia and New Zealand, but also along a chain of islands protecting the lines of communication to those nations, and then to the deployment of American aircraft carriers to rebuff Japan's attempt to capture Port Moresby that resulted in the Battle of the Coral Sea.5
Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, commander of the Combined Fleet, was likewise steered by a basic vision: Japan could not prevail in a long war with the United States. Hence, he conceived a plan to crush the U.S. Pacific Fleet's carriers and seize Hawaii. The population of Hawaii would become hostages. Combined with the demoralizing effect of successive defeats, Yamamoto hoped this would convince the Americans to negotiate a speedy end to the war. This vision led to the Battle of Midway. Radio intelligence, courage, skill, and a large ration of luck provided the stunning American victory.6
After Midway, Army General Douglas MacArthur, whose headquarters were in Brisbane, Australia, was first off the mark to propose following up the victory by immediately leaping into the lion's den in the South Pacific: Rabaul. As a strategic policy, this soared beyond daring to utter recklessness. Even if the United States and its allies had pooled all their resources under MacArthur, they lacked the combat power to carry Rabaul. In terms of high policy, this move also effectively would secure MacArthur's initial dominance in the direction of the Pacific war, a role he no doubt hoped to make permanent. Standing directly athwart MacArthur's ambition was Ernest King, who believed the Pacific manifestly was the Navy's domain. He further held MacArthur in low regard, if not contempt, as a leader.7
MacArthur's proposal did render aid to King by validating an immediate effort to exploit the Midway victory. But King gained impetus from another important strategic consideration. While Army Chief of Staff General George C. Marshall proved a staunch friend of MacArthur's and supported his Rabaul plan, he was even more committed to the "Germany First" strategy. In his view, this required both that the United States make its main effort in Europe, but also that the Soviet Union remain in the war as an indispensable precondition to defeating Hitler. Very much in doubt throughout 1942 were the questions of whether the Soviets could hold out militarily and whether they might choose to negotiate an end to their war with Hitler, a prospect given substance by the stunning 1939 German-Soviet nonagression pact. Marshall's favored strategy to advance both these goals was to launch an Anglo-American invasion of Northern Europe at the earliest possible date, preferably in 1942.
The insurmountable obstacle to Marshall's aims was that the British were the Western alliance's senior partner in 1942. Marshall came to realize that despite what appeared to be initial agreement to landing in Northern Europe, the British had no intention of actually embarking on that course in the immediate future. Instead, they advocated what emerged as the invasion of North Africa. For Marshall, as well as other members of the newly created Joint Chiefs of Staff, a Pacific offensive beckoned not just as a means of following the ancient military principle of following up success, it loomed as the only method of affording the Soviets tangible support in 1942. By tying down the Japanese, a Pacific offensive would at least indirectly aid the Soviets by protecting their rear.8
One of the ingrained misconceptions about the Pacific war is that Midway was the great turning point because it marked the end of Japanese offensives in the Pacific. The truth is that while the Imperial Japanese Navy assumed a defensive stance, the Imperial Japanese Army remained very much on the offensive. After rejecting a navy proposal earlier in the year to mount a direct assault on Australia—clearly beyond Japanese means—the army embarked on a much sounder alternative: a sickle cut down across the vulnerable lines of communication from America to New Zealand and Australia. That could prohibit the use of either as a springboard for a counteroffensive, a springboard much closer to Japan's vital resource areas than Hawaii.
The Japanese Army's offensive, however, did much more than threaten the security of Australia and New Zealand. The critical factor dominating Western Allied strategy well into 1944 was shipping. The shortage of shipping constrained and channeled strategy. Maintaining communication with Australia and New Zealand required disproportionate amounts of shipping resources. Army logisticians calculated that the same shipping space that would move five men to Europe would only move two to MacArthur's theater, an equation demonstrating just how devastating a Japanese threat to the antipodes would be to not just the Western Allied situation in the Pacific, but to the whole global situation.9
The final factor in the constellation of forces supporting King's strategic proposal was radio intelligence. Strategically, it disclosed that Germany proposed a master strategy whereby German forces thrusting through the Middle East would link up with a Japanese advance across the Indian Ocean, thus inflicting a crippling blow to Britain as well as cutting the key Western Allied supply route to the Soviets through the Persian Gulf. Tactically, radio intelligence delivered up Japanese intentions to construct an airfield on Guadalcanal.10
On 2 July 1942, Marshall and King agreed on a synthesis of strategy. It retained MacArthur's ultimate goal of retaking Rabaul. But rather than a direct leap, there would be a three-stage campaign. In Task One, Tulagi and the Santa Cruz Islands would be targeted. Task Two involved seizing the remainder of the Solomons and Lae, Salamaua, and the northeastern coast of New Guinea. Task Three would involve the attack on Rabaul and the adjacent positions in the New Britain–New Ireland area. At King's insistence, the boundary between MacArthur's domain—the South-West Pacific Area—and Vice Admiral Robert Ghormley's South Pacific Area was adjusted to place the southern Solomons in Ghormley's sphere. Command of the campaign would revert to MacArthur for Tasks Two and Three.11
The Course
In Tokyo, an article of faith was that no major American counteroffensive would materialize until 1943, and Japanese commanders deemed the landing on Guadalcanal a raid. Even after the continued U.S. presence made it clear that the operation was not merely a raid, both the Imperial Japanese Navy and Army refused to consider it a major challenge. The army remained focused on its strategic offensive on New Guinea, an advance overland from Buna on the northeast coast to seize Port Moresby on the southern coast. Japanese Army officers allocated only a reinforced battalion and then a brigade to what they presumed would be the relatively modest task of retaking Guadalcanal.12
Nor were senior American leaders quicker to perceive correctly the significance of what they had started. Despite the devastating tactical defeat of the Navy's covering force at the 9 August Battle of Savo Island, Admiral Ghormley found his superiors pestering him about operations after Guadalcanal, like taking the Santa Cruz Islands (ultimately an operation delayed and then dropped), rather than the desperate defense of the southern Solomons.13 This mutual misapprehension at top command levels proved more detrimental to Japan. It appears relatively clear that had Japan promptly massed its forces and acted with resolution, Guadalcanal would have ended in a humiliating American defeat. Instead, Japan followed a fallacious policy of piecemeal commitment of both forces and resolve.
The outstanding example of this is how, from August to October, the Japanese mounted counteroffensives ashore by successively a battalion, a brigade, and then a division. Another aspect that in the long run proved even more ruinous to Japan's overall position was that Japanese Navy aviators accepted battle at extremely long range. By attempting to conduct an air campaign from Rabaul, more than 500 miles from Guadalcanal, the Japanese straitjacketed themselves tactically. They limited the number of aircraft—particularly fighters—capable of conducting the campaign, and sustained many unnecessary losses of planes and especially crewmen because damaged or mechanically ailing Japanese aircraft could not fly back to a safe haven.
One little-noted but momentous facet of Guadalcanal was a change in American public information policy. Up to October 1942, the U.S. government sharply restricted information. Its brief communiqués were carefully tailored to avoid disclosing any information useful to the Japanese. This policy radically and permanently changed in mid-October. Washington feared Guadalcanal would end in defeat and therefore moved to prepare the American public for that eventuality. A flood of accounts suddenly appeared candidly explaining how perilous the situation was. According to the multivolume official Japanese history of the Pacific war, this outburst of American disclosure directly influenced the course of the campaign. After successive defeats in efforts to retake Guadalcanal in August, September, and October, Japanese leaders had hesitated to mount a fourth effort. They resolved to plunge ahead, however, based on overestimates of U.S. naval losses at the 26 October Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands but above all on American news accounts of the dire situation on Guadalcanal.14
The Legacies
The strategic effects of victory at Guadalcanal were multiple and vital. First, it represented the true turning point of the Pacific war. This is not to deprecate the importance of the Battle of Midway. That battle checked the Japanese strategic advance in the Central Pacific and crushed Yamamoto's ultimate design to bring about an end of the war on terms favorable to Japan. But the Japanese remained very much on the offensive in the South Pacific when the Marines splashed ashore on Guadalcanal in August 1942. It was only in September 1942, when the Imperial Japanese Army abandoned efforts to take Port Moresby that the real strategic pivot point was reached in the Pacific. This was the clear dividing line; thereafter Japan would be permanently on the strategic defensive in the Pacific.
A second key contribution merged into the successor campaigns in the South Pacific to February 1944. The Allied counteroffensive that defeated Japan commenced on 7 August 1942 and ended three years and eight days later on 15 August 1945. That span divides into two parts at about 1 November 1943. During the first phase, the United States, with vital help from Australia and New Zealand, snared Japan into an attrition struggle. The Japanese Army's air arm was crippled attempting to stem Allied advances on New Guinea. The Imperial Japanese Navy's air arm and light-surface forces sustained irreparable damage trying to halt Allied advances in the Solomons. Although the actual Allied advances in those two areas only measured about 200 to 300 miles, the losses among skilled Japanese air crews proved catastrophic and the loss of lighter naval units, particularly destroyers, extremely severe.15
But Guadalcanal overshadows Midway strategically in yet another dimension: global impact. The Axis enjoyed one of its greatest, if not its greatest, strategic opportunities in 1942. What Germany correctly perceived was that the effect of Japan's entry into the war could best be maximized not by having their Asian partner attack the Soviet Far Eastern provinces, but by a thrust across the Indian Ocean to meet a German drive through the Middle East. If German and Japanese forces met, not only would a crushing blow be administered to Britain, but also the key logistical pipeline from the Western Allies to the Soviets would be severed. The Japanese mounted some preliminary efforts to implement this strategy, but Guadalcanal forced them to abandon what might have been the masterstroke to win the war for Hitler and his partners.16
Finally, for the United States, Guadalcanal delivered one intangible benefit that outweighed all of the tangible profits. Looking back across the vivid wasteland images of Germany and Japan in 1945, it has become difficult if not impossible for successive generations of American to appreciate just how contingent events appeared in 1942. The record of the anti-Axis forces to that point consisted of a rarely broken string of frequently humiliating defeats. America and her allies faced enemies who extolled themselves as supreme warrior races, certain to prevail over decadent Westerners, no matter what the material odds.
In a very visceral sense the question of whether the Axis could be defeated was inextricably linked to the question of whether the generation of young Americans who would fight the war was tough enough to prevail in difficulty and adversity. The Americans who fought at Guadalcanal were the vanguard of the entire generation. Their victory in the face of such dire circumstances blazed the way for those who followed. This then is the most important reason why Guadalcanal is a name that endures with honor.
