Compassion is a noble sentiment but much like former Twins second baseman Chuck Knoblauch it does not respond well to pressure. If you see a craggy-faced, world-worn grey-top shuffling behind a rusted shopping cart, a guy clearly broken in spirit and mind by a life of God knows what, you feel a surge of sympathy. Poor, aged, oppressed man, you think, perhaps I shall hand him a farthing. But you see 20 of these guys, everyday, along with the related pan-handling, obscenity-laced freak-outs, and innumerable urine trails, each one zig-zagging toward the curb, a tiny vignette of chaos' unfolding beauty ruined by the wild-eyed John Nash character standing stupefied over it, and the pity you felt fatigues into contempt. Those disgusting, violent, strung-out old bastards, you think, let's drown 'em in garbage bags.
No surprisingly San Francisco's large homeless population is a source of on-going civic disquiet. However, the SF Board of Supervisors has yet to address one of the unspoken sides of the issue: homeless people, for better or worse, are girl repellant.
There's two reasons for this; first, the obvious: homeless people are, in a basic, superficial but visceral way, gross and a little threatening. Girls may be more compassionate than men but, as research indicates, they also show greater sensitivity to disgust stimuli, which is why a neighborhood full of hobos means hot chicks busting out of there like Count Cristo from his chains at Château d'If (and also why girls use the word "gross" to describe pretty much everything from corn chips to rain). More generally affecting is the day-to-day psychological impact of the homeless: they are a constant reminder of life's more depressing but pointless truths, such as when you're rich the world is your oyster and when you're a crackhead the world is where you get beaten with a toilet.
The second reason is the grunge bum. Grunge bums are those unwashed, punk rockish, Portland born, twenty-something Caucasian kids who loiter in and around the Haight with their grunge bum pals. They're homeless in the strict sense of not having a home but it doesn't appear that a disabling condition is the cause of this. At least they don't seem psychologically stressed about the state of their lives. They all sleep in the park and bullsh*t in front of dive bars and cultivate the junky, Kurt Kobainey aesthetic that's available in local thrift shops. They are a weird hybrid of street urchin, beatnik poseur and the kind of slacker teenagers who hang out at suburban Quickie Marts. Each probably has some troubling back-story, but there's not much compassion for a well-fed white kid in dreads that keeps his panhandling real. That kid just doesn't really want to work.
But here's the thing: working sucks, and there's a part of every guy with a lame-ass, soul-crushing Office Space job that is jealous of these so-called malingerers, and that part of him, when it witnesses grunge bums strumming their guitars, life's responsibilities gossamer and light as burnt cannabis in the breeze, well, it sort of relates. A guy gets the motivating philosophy. It's how Chris Rock felt about OJ Simpson (allegedly) killing the douchey waiter who (allegedly) drove around OJ's Ferrari and banged his ex-wife: "I'm not saying I'd do it, but I understand."
Girls take the totally opposite philosophical position, for two reasons. First of all, girls are more consistent believers in the social contract - no killing, no thieving, no free-riding. Secondly, girls believe in the corrupting power of peer influence. A girl will size up a guy's friends and acquaintances and make an assessment about the guy. You can't talk her out of it. It doesn't matter if the guy is a cleric in a religious order and his friends, whether lotharios, drunks, or grunge bums, are nothing like him. "If his friends are doing it," she thinks, "then he's doing it, or at least, he will do it. Ef that, I'm moving to Manhattan."

Microsoft is stepping closer to providing anywhere access to Office files. The free Office Live Workspace (more here), which lets people share work in Word, Excel and PowerPoint online, is expanding today to invite more beta testers.
You can sign up to try the work in progress at OfficeLive.com, although access may not be immediate. A final version is set for next spring.
When Office 2007 debuted nearly a year ago, it seemed curious that Microsoft offered no easy, one-click option for accessing work from the Web. Meanwhile, Zoho built an add-in for Office 2007, as Google Docs & Spreadsheets and other tools allowed people to share as well as compose work within a browser.
The free, ad-supported Office Live Workspace is a bridge to Office software, not a browser-based replica. Workspace synchronizes changes made to files stored both on a desktop and at Office Live's servers, including Outlook contacts and events. It works with Windows XP SP2, 2003 Server, or Vista with Internet Explorer 6 and Firefox 2 or higher (required for users of Mac OS 10.2 and up).
The online tools preview Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files as well as PDFs, PNGs, and JPGs. Workspace is meant to work in tandem with Word, Excel and PowerPoint XP, 2003, or 2007 running locally on a PC. You can preview, not edit, documents from a browser. Web Notes, on the other hand, do enable the creation and formatting of small text documents online.
Office Live Workspace emphasizes collaboration rather than composition. To share documents with other people, you can send them a secure URL without requiring them to sign in with a Windows Live ID. Everyone with access to the workspace can make and view each others' comments.
Those invited for editing can make changes to the work, as long as they have Word, Excel, and PowerPoint on their hard drive. Office Live Workspace handily preserves the Track Changes feature from Office apps while also keeping five histories of a file. And the Share View screen allows control of another user's PC.
Another desktop component of this service is the Office Live Add-In for Microsoft Office. This is a quick download, although you'll have to restart the system afterward. Once it's installed, a Save to Office Live option will appear under the Office button within Word, Excel, or PowerPoint, with the subsequent dialog box showing your available workspaces.
Workspaces are collections of documents. Ten templates are built to manage a classroom, sports team, travels, job search, household, and so forth. For example, a travel workspace will include an expense report spreadsheet with Word files for an itinerary, packing list, and personal data. You can store a maximum of 500 workspaces containing 500 documents each for a total of 500 MB per account and 25 MB per file.
Office users who learn about these tools are likely to come to depend upon them to stash their work online with a few, quick clicks. Workplaces that use Microsoft's staple software will probably find Workspace a fine collaboration tool that makes it easy to take work away from the office.
This is a well-designed service, but I'd still like something not only to store work, but to let me make edits without opening local applications. What if you only want to correct a misspelled byline in a 20 MB report? You'll have to open Word, since Office Live Workspace doesn't even allow light, text only edits within a browser. I'll continue to lean on Google Docs for that.
Office Live Workspace, by the way, is not to be confused with Office Live Small Business, which offers a free domain name and Web design templates.

Aug. 8, 2011 -- People with more than one sibling who have had potentially life-threatening blood clots have a 50-fold increase in risk for the condition, a new study shows.
Researchers in Sweden used a nationwide hospitalization registry to explore the influence of family risk, as determined by sibling history, on the dangerous blood clots.
The study is the first to show a direct correlation between the blood clots and family risk in a nationwide setting.
Blood Clots Are Silent Killers
Known medically as deep vein thrombosis (DVT), blood clots that form in the deep veins of the legs or pelvis can become deadly when they travel to the lungs and block pulmonary arteries. DVT and its complication, pulmonary embolism, are known collectively as venous thromboembolisms (VTE).
About one in 1,000 Americans develops VTEs each year, and about a third of these cases involve pulmonary embolism, according to the American Heart Association.
Established risk factors for VTE include immobilization, surgery, trauma, pregnancy, malignancy, and oral contraceptive use.
It has long been recognized that family history is an important risk factor for the deadly blood clots, but much is still not known about the role that genetics play in the condition, Bengt Zoller, MD, PhD of Malmo, Sweden's Lund University tells WebMD.
"There appear to be a large number of genetic risk factors for this condition that have not yet been identified," he says.
When Zoller and colleagues examined the impact of heredity on VTE by age and gender using the Swedish hospital registry data, they identified more than 45,000 hospitalizations for the condition between 1987 and 2007.
Patients ranged in age from 0 to 75, with the average age of hospitalization being 51 for men and 46 for women.
Family influence played a significant part in risk for both males and females, with about 5% of hospitalized patients having a sibling who had also been hospitalized with VTE.
When one sibling had a history of VTE, a person's risk was double that of people with no family history of the blood clots.
When two siblings had been hospitalized with the blood clots, however, risk increased 50- to 60-fold.
Among the other findings:
- Having a sibling hospitalized with a blood clot was associated with a nearly fivefold increase in risk among children and teens between the ages of 10 and 19.
- A similar history was associated with a doubling of risk among people between the ages of 60 and 69.
- Females had a slightly higher risk for the blood clots compared to males from age 10 until the age of 40, and men had a slightly higher risk after the age of 50.
The study appears online in the American Heart Association journal Circulation.
Genetic Risk Factors for VTE
Five major genetic risk factors associated with an increased risk for VTE have been identified. But doctors do not routinely test for them, so most people do not know if they carry one or more of the genetic risk factors.
This was the case with NBC News correspondent David Bloom, who died of a blood clot that started in his legs and traveled to his lungs in the early days of the Iraq war after spending days immobilized in a tank while embedded with U.S. troops.
Although Bloom did not know it, he had inherited a blood clotting disorder that increased his risk for the dangerous blood clots, along with other risk factors, his wife, Melanie, later said.
Philadelphia cardiologist Don LaVan, MD, who is a spokesman for the American Heart Association, says the study confirms that asking patients about their family history of VTE is important for assessing risk.

for an experienced linux user on how to cook their own image for a DT366GX tablet. This will be a
complete custom operating system. Feel free to take my package choices or to produce your own custom build.
This is old hardware and as such I recommend using old software that uses old smaller libraries.
Not worth discussing reasoning as the hardware is old and although rugged there are lifecycles to
DT Research hardware and we are on the cusp of the release of the 390's and 315's that have
even harder hardware to set up an operating system for (poulsbo) but noteworthy on pricepoints.
This image is titled WebDT-Live-JWM for reasons that it has the JWM window manager and I can say
that it operates faster than my previous live image. Also the filesystem will be fat32 forcing
the borrowed slax scripts to save changes to a compressed module or .dat file opposed to uncompressed folders
on a linux native filesystem like the last image.
That being said this one takes a long time to reach desktop. Be patient, slim login manager may
show you a login prompt but wait 45 seconds to a minute and X will eventually take its time on
starting up. Think it took about 8 minutes the first boot on my hanging by a thread tablet.
JWM supports docks so I made a second dock on the desktop with some convienant tools.
My tablets hard buttons seldom work. Although scripted to I can only say that I hope that yours work with this image.
This dock at the top of the screen holds what common button functions would be.
Calibrate touchscreen is on the desktop as well as terminal, file manager and xvkbd toggle icon.
XEV, Xmodmap and evtest are all installed if you want to map different events to your hard buttons
should give you all possible output from the button driver.
Code: Select all
evtest /dev/input/event3
xev will show you keysyms of the presses
xmodmap has a file in /root/.Xmodmap with some bindings (mapped button presses to unused F-keys).
/root/.jwmrc has a binding section too where I mapped F13-F16 to applications or scripts.
setkeycodes should convers a scancode to a keycode. This will be needed for the right side button.
I have not played with the right side button as of time of posting. If I get it working Ill edit
this post in the future.
Button mapping starts at the atlas_btns kernel driver. I modporobe this in /etc/rc.local and then
let /root/.Xmodmap move the default mapping associated to the buttons (A=B=C..etc) to non used buttons like F13-F16 and
obvious choices for the d-pad like up, down, left and right. From there JWM has a /root/.jwmrc file
that has button mappings within it and in there I have tied F13-F16 to apps. The keyboard toggle is
handled by a file /usr/bin/togglekbd.sh which is a script to make it disappear if xvkbd is on the screen
or it will launch xvkbd at the bottom of the screen.
Anyone can build one of these images. Take virtualbox and add debian 8 netinstall iso and get a
basic system installed. Once there:
Should get you a workable install with a window manager login manager and everything but a web browser.
Code: Select all
apt-get install --no-install-recommends xserver-xorg xserver-xorg-video-vesa x11-utils
x11-xserver-utils xserver-xorg-input-evdev evtest xinput-calibrator inputattach bluez slim xvt
xinit xfe jwm wicd-gtk menu xz-utils squashfs-tools genisoimage
The last 3 files are dependencies of the Slax scripts.
I can understand if dillo is not your favorite web browser. I chose it for this image for its small size
and figuring many would do their own.
Things like making slim login as root are easile found on google.
JWM needs an icon theme. I used Faenza and did a little work with icons but not much. JWM is faster
if we are not using icons in the menus.
Note, xorg is a pita. Debians geode driver is broken and vesa is the only other driver that works. While in
Puppy linux and after xorgwizard runs copy the xorg.conf file out of puppy to the usb stick its running
from and copy it in to the image you build within virtualbox. This will save a huge headache in
getting a working xorg.conf file in to your build.
tip: xinput-calibrator can handle right clicking of the touchscreen via adding the last three of the "Option"
lines to ones /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-calibration.conf file:
and you will have a 750 millisecond hold to do on the screen for a context menu.Section "InputClass"
Identifier "calibration"
MatchProduct "PenMount Serial TouchScreen"
Option "Calibration" "xx xx xx xx"
Option "EmulateThirdButton" "1"
Option "EmulateThirdButtonTimeout" "750"
Option "EmulateThirdButtonThreshold" "30"
I di not do anything about a battery indicator nor sleep modes. Old ACPI used to be able to make
this tablet sleep and wake up with little hassle. Cant find same unmaintained script anylonger.
Once you have all of that installed cd to /tmp and
Code: Select all
wget --no-check-certificate https://github.com/Tomas-M/linux-live/master/tarball
Code: Select all
tar -xvf master
Code: Select all
rm master
nano config (change build name)
Code: Select all
cd Tomas-M-linux-live
once done ...
Code: Select all
Code: Select all
cd ..
Code: Select all
and you will have a iso file that you can move to a usb stick
Now download the tarball.zip from github and extract the contents. We need to copy the following:
to /dev/sda1/WebDT-Live-JWM/rootcopy/usr/bin/
These files get copied in to the filesystem as the operating system is booting as part of the design of the live scripts.
You will find these scripts in /usr/bin once booted up and they are usable! On normal shutdown Tomas scripted
these to automatically save your changes to a .dat file in /WebDT-Live-JWM/changes/changes.dat. No need
to add file names in configs anymore, just: slax.flags=perch on the kernel boot line.
You will have kernel panic if you try grub4dos and it may take a few tries of moving things around
in legacy grub before it boots well. I am writing this post mostly from memory but the menu.lst
when tranplanting the operating system takes me a few tries to get right.
Grab a puppy linux iso that works on your tablet. Add the iso image we just made to the usb stick containing puppy.
Booting puppy with "pfix=nox" and then running xorgwizard should get you to a desktop on puppy.
Click on the drive containing puppy and iso image.
Use gparted to format the internal drive to fat32.
Click on internal drive after formatting, to mount it.
Click on the WebDT-Live-JWM iso to mount that. Copy the WebDT-Live-JWM folder from the iso and copy it to the
internal drive. Copy all contents from the syslinux.cfg file and put it in to a text file or just leave it copied.
In Puppy navigate to the menu item for legacy grub. Run it and let it install to /dev/sda.
After grub installation go to /dev/sda1/boot and find the menu.lst. Past in the kernel and append lines to menu.lst.
Change the VGA=791 to vga=771
add "acpi=force" after vga=771
At the very end of the second boot line add"
This is the magic word for making changes persistent. Can be validated by watching the OS boot,
After seeing in white "live kit init" look for a line activating persistent changes.
Now that you have my recipe for how to make such an image yourself I will let you know about the
small number of programs within this image.
Dillo - Web Browser - chosen for small size / overhead. Starts fast.
Bluez - Fire it up and type help. You have bluetooth control for pairing, trusting, scanning, etc.
WICD-GTK - network manager
inputattach - attaches serial input devices to the input layer. "inputattach --daemon -pm9k /dev/ttyS0"
is the line used to make the touchscreen work without penmount drivers. Find it in /etc/rc.local
xinput-calibrator - calibration for touch screen. File in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-calibration.conf
XFE - X file manager with image and editing apps included, xfwrite, xfview, etc.
JWM - Window manager
urxvt - terminal emulator
xvkbd - virtual keyboard
Some tricks that tomas (Slax) suggests is install your apps that you want first one at a time.
After each install:
This will make a compressed bundle of that application and save it in the modules folder.
Code: Select all
savechanges /mnt/sda1/WebDT-Live-JWM/Modules/application.sbv
Much easier to manage updates on certain applications if all you have to do is delete the
module and reinstall it using the method above.
After building the image and then using slax scripts to compress it this image came out at 200MB.
Expect it to take 225mb installed, once the scripts set up a persistent save file on the internal
drive. Should leave ~50 percent of your internal storage available.
If you already have my last image installed just copy over the 01-core.sb and the rootcopy directories.
If not then you have to go the puppy usb route and copy the iso and linux live download to your
puppy bearing usb and follow the above instructions. Gparted _> fat32 for the internal drive, copy files
over, grub legacy from puppy linux menu. Copy the syslinux.cfg boot lines to /boot/grub/menu.lst and experiment.
If all works well you should have the best distribution WebDT.org has made available yet as its still supported by Debian
and apt-get is installed and working. Feel free to apt-get some software. Just be aware that the
sync alone may take up 50mb of space just to update. If you install software be aware that you are
limited in storage space and try to use the Slax method of:
as that will save the changes as compressed modules that get loaded at boot time. If not it gets
Code: Select all
savechanges /mnt/sda1/WebDT-Live-JWM/modules/application.sb
stored in the changes.dat file under what I assume would be some kind of compression however
squashfs offers a great ratio on compression. The .sb files or bundles we are making with these
savechanges script are easile 4:1 or greater in compression. Think the virtualbox image I had was
around 800mb before compressing this image down to 200mb.
Try to remember to apt-get clean before shutdown otherwise all that fat from the apt-get update
gets loaded next boot at takes space in what limited memore is available in these tablets.
This image is being delivered as a dd as it was taken from my hard drive as it was installed and configured.
Lots of posts on this forum on how to do. The quick tutorial:
Puppy linux is needed and with the dd image on the usb stick along with puppy and in the root of the drive.
Boot the tablet to puppy linux usb stick with usb keyboard / mouse attached via hub.
Gparted in puppy to format the internbal drive fat 32 and with bootable flag checked.
click on sdb1 on puppy desktop and launch a terminal there once window is up. In terminal type:
And wait for a long time for wach sector of the image to copy in to your tablet. Once finished you should be all set.
Code: Select all
dd if=WebDT-Live-JWM.dd of=/dev/sda
This is alien to anyone who has not done it before but trust me it works and is much faster than
building your own image.
I have heard of people using old versions of norton ghost to install dd images however I have not tried
nor can I confirm.
Reboot and allow for up to 8 minutues for the first boot and you should have a functional minimal
operating system that has decent hardware utilization and current software for your WebDT 366GX.
You may have an inverted calibration on your touchscreen. If so find the icon on the desktop for the
finger and that will help you calibrate the touch screen. Have a steady hand and avoid spots with screen damage
if you have any as it will repeat the calibration if it detects a mis click.
There you have it. Virtual box and linux live and slax and debian are decent combinations. This image runs almost
like its nativelly installed and not a live operating system. Apps take a few moments to open but this
has always been the case with the GX series. This is the last image I intend to make so here I hand off
the recipe I used to accomplish the task.

Your favourite Animal Collective Song
Narnia I think your avatar is on the new artwork. On the top right
WOAH that might actually be true. AC loves House.
mine is my favorite colors, again
De Soto de Son, Two Sails on a Sound, Visiting Friends, Penny Dreadfuls, Alvin Row, Lablakely Dress, Always You, Pride and Fight, We Tigers, #1, Polly, Loch Raven, and Safer. I believe its literally impossible to say one song of theirs is best, and to pick one single favorite is extremely difficult. Anyone who's heard all of their albums and the various other tracks released knows that their sound changes incessantly. Almost every album of theirs could honestly be considered different genres. I narrowed it down to some of my favorites, but in the end, every song of theirs is excellent.
right now it's I See You Pan. stooppp looking at meeeeee
Lablakelydress: No favorites from MPP and Straw Jam? I mean you do like them since you said every song they have is excellent, but I have nto seen too many people who have not said that they don't have a top favorite from those two albums. But it's cool to have someone who has a different taste compared to the rest of the board, and that is why I like this forum.
^Fish I must admit, I love [i]In The Flowers[/i] with all my heart. Not sure if it's my favourite song, but it's top five without a doubt for me. That explosion of joy makes me explode with joy..
I think I've ruined my hearing by turning up bothe the general volume and the bass levels during the EPIC part of In The Flowers. Great song. Almost all AC songs are great, that's what I've learned from this thread.
Peacey, my theory is that most people on the board acknowledges the fact that SJ and MPP are great albums and easily accessible. At some point the songs on those albums were are favorite but we listened to them too much upon first hearing AC and started to prefer their more experimental music. And there may be a level of pretentiousness involved because some of us may think that only entry level AC fans like their most popular albums thus, we seek out the less accessible and 'underground' AC songs as mentionable favorites. But the underlying reason is that we all have had those songs as our favorite so their is no need to mention a common-known fact. I am probably mostly speaking for myself, so if others disagree, then disagree.
"And there may be a level of pretentiousness involved because some of us may think that only entry level AC fans like their most popular albums thus, we seek out the less accessible and 'underground' AC songs as mentionable favorites." This is so human, and so true. I have fallen victim to this habbit a while back and although I was not a snob about it like the thousands of Youtube commenters under the official My Girls video, I have done that before. But I would be lying to you now, If I didn't put My Girls in my top 10 Animal Collective Songs (as of now). So it's safe to say that I learned to get over that "thing".
Their best songs are there best songs, accessible or not. My Girls is also a favorite of mine. Whats wierd though is that once i feel like ive connected with an album, i listen to it much less. I find its a lot of fun to try to figure their albums out.
Narnia - you have articulated perfectly what I've been thinking for some time as I was indeed one of these "entry level" late comer fans. I came in via a recommendation on Person Pitch which I loved, then started with MPP and SJ and I was hooked. When you get absorbed with artists like AnCo and you delve into their past, it's just magic to find so much material which is both awesome and unique. You can't help but seek out songs which appear to you as hidden gems. Since starting this thread my favorite has unequivocally remained Water Curses. I just cannot get enough of this song; it's so perfect.
Well said narnia. :-B
All of these are great points. I agree with welcometonarnia completely. I started out by listening to strawberry jam and my next two albums I heard were MPP and feels. The whole part about "not needing to mention the commonly known fact" that we all agree that those albums created so many favorites was why I neglected to mention some of those songs. Another reason I mentioned the songs I did was because most of the ones i said are great songs that people had failed to mention ealier. Everyone already said the classic favorites from MPP and other "more accesible" albums. So I felt the need to fill this gap of great songs from their other eras. And my point by saying "all their songs are excellent" was that even the ones I didn't mention or people haven't mentioned could easily be favorites of anyone.
Well said Lablakely. I'm just one of those people, especially in the past couple of months, who thinks of people that only like something because it goes against the mainstream, as arrogant. Just like what you like and don't care about the popularity of it. Anyways, the real point is that Animal Collective has too many great songs to choose a favorite from.
ive come to the point in my AC fandom where i am completely honest about my favorites. right now my favorite is The Kite. it creates the coolest atmosphere. yesterday it was My Girls. who cares ya know?
P-fish, regarding dresses favorites, he did have a an s-jam song #1 is in there. But I agree with you guys about the pretentiousness completely. A true AC fan doesn't care about popular judgements on AC and their fans (particularly concerning My Girls). I saw a guy at an ODDSAC screening ask Geologist his opinion about " AC fans who just like My Girls" and I was like wtf why would you even spit that negativity at the band?
Hey ticonderoga I've never heard of the Kite. Where did you find it?
I wonder if this was a song that Geologist wrote? I like it btw, this is my first time ever hearing it.
My favorite right now, is Sleeping Factory.
Sleeping factory into doggy on that one radio recording Is awesome
Where can I find that, Ty?
I hadn't ever heard of the kite either, thanks for posting that. I like it as well, its always cool discovering some track like this by them that I've never heard of. And sleeping factory is great, I love the way Avey's voice is in it and I can't wait to listen to it going into doggy. Thanks a lot for the upload of Breezeblock Session, I've heard a lot of stuff from BBC sessions but I haven't had an mp3 of many of the songs. I've been listening to it as I write this and the slower version of doggy is great. Thanks a lot for putting this up
Thank you Ty!
Thanks for thw link, I thought I had this but I must've not downloaded it or I lost it with all my other AC downloads.
I guess my #1 song by Animal Collective would have to be... #1. Really irritated me at first, for some odd reason. I was blind but now I see.
they should have put a #2 on water curses... #3 on MPP #4 on FBK and kept going until they got to 10! and then start again! #X! then go back to where it all began pre! #0! GO TIME!~ ZERO HOUR!!~~ then the negatives! starting with -9!
I'm torn between Water Curses and Honey comb. They both have that way of crawling into your skikn and moving in the furniture to stay. I'm also tempted to throw Leaf House in to make it a deathmatch and see who wins, but it would be like circular reasoning.
Alvin Row, Winter's Love, Loch Raven and Turn Into Something Those are songs that are important to me. Most of their other songs I just enjoy the HELL out of. But those go beyond!!!
I would agree with Loch Raven, which coincidentally just started playing ha ha ha. Its a great song to fall asleep to as well...
i think right now my favorite is also frightened
I love the earlier live versions of Also Frightened. Not so much the studio version. The "HEEEYYY" parts were completely ruined on the studio version
yes! i don't know why they remove the "oomph" or energy / edge to some of the stuff in the studio versions? ... like surely they knew that was such a powerful thing... the HEYYYYYY! that's why they call ave the dream her!
THE DANCER and THE DREAMER
I'm hoping thats just the case with Merriweather songs. Todays Supernatural sounds almost exactly like the live version.
I was really happy when I read the first post. Water curses is also my favorite animal collective song. Its also my favorite song...in the world. My first post ever guys. Nice to meet everyone.
rock on, london! (jeremy!) water curses still reminds me of mario kart 64 beach level!
and it weirds me out!
Also Frightened reminds me of the feeling of being inside a wave pool.
My current favorite is Kids on Holiday. I had almost forgotten about its existence.
my fav ryenau is the Kite. ive listened to it 5 times today
My favorite now is Turn Into Something Also Todays Supernatural
also... i think the only song that ive loved consistently over my AC fandom is Also Frightened. i think i over-listened winters love
Noooo I didnt think it was possible to overlisten Winters Love!! (
This house is saaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAUHHHUHHHHAAHUHHHHHHHHHHHddddd Because he's nooooooAAHHHHHHHHHUHHHUHHHHHUHHHUHHHHHHHHHHH ....meow. I love this song.

No. 90,536
1. Depraved heart murder as defined by K.S.A. 21-3402(b) is distinguished from reckless involuntary manslaughter by the additional element that the reckless killing occur under circumstances manifesting extreme indifference to the value of human life.
2. Recklessness that can be assimilated to purpose or knowledge is treated as depraved heart second-degree murder, and less extreme recklessness is punished as manslaughter.
3. The 1993 amendment to K.S.A. 21-3402 eliminated malice as an element of second-degree murder in Kansas.
4. The required state of mind for depraved heart murder can be attributed to the driver of an automobile in a fatal collision; relevant factors to show such state of mind include intoxication, speeding, near or nonfatal collisions shortly before the fatal accident, driving on the wrong side of the road, failure to aid the victim, failure to heed traffic signs, failure to heed warnings about reckless driving, and a prior record of driving offenses.
5. Under the facts of this case, evidence is sufficient to support a conviction of depraved heart murder by the driver of an automobile where: (a) defendant admits that his driving was preceded by drinking; (b) defendant admits that he struck two parked cars and ignored commands to stop because he was concerned that he had been drinking; (c) defendant then consumed additional alcohol and used crack cocaine; (d) defendant then resumed driving and caused a fatal collision, due in part to excessive speed; (e) defendant failed to render aid to the victims; and (f) defendant fled the scene in order to avoid criminal liability. We conclude that these facts clearly demonstrate an extreme indifference to human life.
Appeal from Sedgwick District Court; REBECCA L. PILSHAW, judge. Opinion filed August 6, 2004. Affirmed.
Korey A. Kaul, assistant appellate defender, for appellant.
Kristi L. Barton, assistant district attorney, Nola Foulston, district attorney, and Phill Kline, attorney general, for appellee.
Before GREENE, P.J., McANANY, J., and BRAZIL, S.J.
GREENE, J.: John P. Doub, III, appeals his conviction of second-degree murder pursuant to K.S.A. 21-3402(b), claiming insufficiency of evidence. We affirm.
Factual and Procedural Overview
Following a party for his softball team at a club where he admitted drinking six beers, Doub admitted that his pickup struck two parked vehicles and that he left the scene because he was concerned that he had been drinking. Doub ultimately admitted that, approximately 2 hours after striking the parked cars, he drove his pickup into the rear of a Cadillac in which 9-year-old Jamika Smith was a passenger. According to the State's accident investigator, the collision occurred as Doub's pickup, "going tremendously faster," drove "up on top of [the Cadillac]," initially driving it down into the pavement, and ultimately propelling it off the street and into a tree. Doub offered no aid to the victims, left the scene of the accident, and initially denied any involvement in the collision, suggesting that his pickup had been stolen. Some 15 hours after the collision, Smith died as a result of blunt traumatic injuries caused by the collision.
Approximately 6 months after these events, Doub admitted to a former girlfriend that he had a confrontation with his second ex-wife the evening of the collision, had been drinking alcohol and smoking crack, and had subsequently caused the collision. The girlfriend approached the authorities with Doub's statements, which suggested that Doub left the softball party, caused the collisions with the parked vehicles, left that scene, subsequently consumed the additional alcohol and crack cocaine, and then caused the collision resulting in Smith's death, all within a 2- to 3-hour period.
Doub was charged with: (1) second-degree depraved heart murder, with lesser included offenses of involuntary manslaughter and vehicular homicide; (2) involuntary manslaughter while driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs, with the lesser included offense of driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs; and (3) leaving the scene of an injury accident. The jury found Doub guilty of all three primary offenses, but the court later dismissed the second offense of involuntary manslaughter. Doub appeals, challenging the sufficiency of evidence to support his conviction of second-degree depraved heart murder.
Standard of Review
When the sufficiency of the evidence is challenged in a criminal case, the standard of review is whether, after review of all the evidence, viewed in the light most favorable to the prosecution, the appellate court is convinced that a rational factfinder could have found the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. State v. Jamison, 269 Kan. 564, 571, 7 P.3d 1204 (2000).
Elements of Second-degree "Depraved Heart" Murder
K.S.A. 2003 Supp. 21-3402 defines second-degree murder as follows:
"Murder in the second-degree is the killing of a human being committed:
(a) Intentionally; or
(b) unintentionally but recklessly under circumstances manifesting extreme indifference to the value of human life."
When the offense is committed pursuant to subsection (b), our courts have employed the common-law nomenclature of "depraved heart" second-degree murder. See, e.g., State v. Hebert, 277 Kan. 61, 104, 82 P.3d 470 (2004).
In State v. Robinson, 261 Kan. 865, 876-78, 934 P.2d 38 (1997), our Supreme Court discussed the requirements for depraved heart murder:
"Both depraved heart murder and reckless involuntary manslaughter require recklessness--that the killing be done under circumstances showing a realization of the imminence of danger and a conscious disregard of that danger. Depraved heart murder requires the additional element that the reckless killing occur under circumstances manifesting extreme indifference to the value of human life.
. . . .
"We hold that depraved heart second-degree murder requires a conscious disregard of the risk, sufficient under the circumstances, to manifest extreme indifference to the value of human life. Recklessness that can be assimilated to purpose or knowledge is treated as depraved heart second-degree murder, and less extreme recklessness is punished as manslaughter. Conviction of depraved heart second-degree murder requires proof that the defendant acted recklessly under circumstances manifesting extreme indifference to the value of human life. This language describes a kind of culpability that differs in degree but not in kind from the ordinary recklessness required for manslaughter." (Emphasis added.) 261 Kan. at 876-78.
In Robinson, the court specifically rejected the argument that the offense required general indifference to the value of all human life and concluded that the elements could be met if the defendant manifested an extreme indifference to the value of one specific human life. 261 Kan. at 880. In State v. Davidson, 267 Kan 667, 684, 987 P.2d 335 (1999), the court reiterated the Robinson criteria and held that the offense was committed by a defendant who created an unreasonable risk and then consciously disregarded it in a manner and to the extent that it reasonably could be inferred that she was extremely indifferent to the value of human life.
We find no reported decision in Kansas construing and applying K.S.A. 21-3402(b) in the context of a vehicular collision and therefore approach this appeal as a case of first impression.
Overview of Depraved Heart Murder by Vehicle in Other Jurisdictions
The state of mind or mens rea required for second-degree murder has been somewhat problematic throughout the history of Anglo-American jurisprudence. As early as 1762, Sir Michael Foster termed the requisite mental state for the common-law offense as a "heart regardless of social duty and fatally bent upon mischief." Foster, Crown Law 257 (1762). Since the advent of the automobile in the nineteenth century, many jurisdictions have struggled with the application of second-degree murder statutes in this context, and the debate seems to have been focused largely on whether malice, whether express or implied, should be required. See, e.g., State v. Chalmers, 100 Ariz. 70, 411 P.2d 448 (1966). We need not enter this debate, however, since our Supreme Court has determined that the 1993 amendment to the second-degree murder statute eliminated malice as an element of second-degree murder in Kansas. State v. McCown, 264 Kan. 655, Syl. ¶ 1, 957 P.2d 401 (1998). Instead, our focus is the statutory language adopted in Kansas that apparently had its genesis in the Model Penal Code first proposed in 1962, which required killing "recklessly under circumstances manifesting extreme indifference to the value of human life." A.L.I., Model Penal Code § 210.2 (Proposed Official Draft 1962).
Since 1975 the appellate courts of many states have acknowledged that the required state of mind for depraved heart murder can be attributed to the driver of an automobile. See, e.g., Davis v. State, 593 So. 2d 145, 148 (Ala. Crim. App. 1991) (holding that under Alabama depraved heart statute, driver could be convicted if the driver was "conscious of his acts, the impending dangers surrounding him, and the probable results of the acts, and, with reckless indifference to the probable consequences of his acts, brought about the collision and the death of the deceased"). Our review of such cases reveals that most jurisdictions with statutory provisions patterned after the Model Penal Code have acknowledged that the offense may be committed by automobile. Cases to the contrary generally construe and apply statutes that retain some requirement of malice. See, e.g. State v. Ellison, 561 So. 2d 576 (Fla. 1990) (holding that under Florida law, defendant's conviction of second-degree murder for speeding and eluding officers during a high speed pursuit could not stand without evidence of "'ill-will, hatred, spite or an evil intent'"); see Annot., Homicide By Automobile As Murder, 21 A.L.R.3d 116.
One commentator surveyed 20 cases between 1975 and 1986 and found the following factors as persuasive of the requisite state of mind:
"1. Intoxication. The driver was using alcohol, illegal drugs, or both.
"2. Speeding. Usually excessive rates are recorded.
"3. Near or nonfatal collisions shortly before the fatal accident. Courts believe that collisions should serve as a warning to defendants that their conduct is highly likely to cause an accident. Failure to modify their driving is viewed as a conscious indifference to human life.
"4. Driving on the wrong side of the road. Many cases involve head-on collisions. Included here is illegally passing or veering into oncoming traffic.
"5. Failure to aid the victim. The driver left the scene of the accident and/or never attempted to seek aid for the victim.
"6. Failure to heed traffic signs. Usually more than once prior to the fatal accident, the driver ran a red light and/or stop sign.
"7. Failure to heed warnings about reckless driving. In Pears v. State, for example, the court cited as proof of Pears' extreme indifference to life the fact that he continued driving after he had been warned by police officers not to drive because he was intoxicated. In other cases a police pursuit of the driver for earlier traffic violations was an implicit warning that the defendant's driving was dangerous.
"8. Prior record of driving offenses (drunk or reckless driving or both). The relevance of a defendant's prior record for reckless or intoxicated driving is, as United States v. Fleming pointed out, not to show a propensity to drive while drunk but 'to establish that defendant had grounds to be aware of the risk his drinking and driving while intoxicated presented to others.'" Luria, Death on the Highway: Reckless Driving as Murder, 67 Or. L. Rev. 799, 823 (1988).
Application of these factors seems appropriate to determine whether evidence in a particular case meets the requisite state of mind, but we are mindful that no precise universal definition or exclusive criteria is appropriate. The comments to the Model Penal Code declare that "recklessness" must be of such an extreme nature that it demonstrates an indifference to human life similar to that held by one who commits murder purposely or knowingly, but precise definition is impossible.
"The significance of purpose of knowledge as a standard of culpability is that, cases of provocation or other mitigation apart, purposeful or knowing homicide demonstrates precisely such indifference to the value of human life. Whether recklessness is so extreme that it demonstrates similar indifference is not a question, it is submitted, that can be further clarified. It must be left directly to the trier of fact under instructions which make it clear that recklessness that can fairly be assimilated to purpose or knowledge should be treated as murder and that less extreme recklessness should be punished as manslaughter." A.L.I., Model Penal Code & Commentaries Part II § 210.2, Comment. 4, pp. 21-22 (1980).
Did the Evidence Against Doub Establish the Requisite State of Mind for Second-degree Murder?
Many of the factors cited as relevant to the requisite state of mind in similar prosecutions beyond Kansas are present here. Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution, our examination of the record shows:
(i) The State presented evidence of intoxication, both the consumption of beer at the club, but the later consumption of alcohol and use of crack cocaine;
(ii) The State presented evidence of nonfatal collisions shortly before the fatal collision, specifically the collision with two parked vehicles;
(iii) The State presented evidence of speeding at the time of the fatal collision, specifically that Doub's vehicle was moving "tremendously faster" than the vehicle struck;
(iv) The State presented evidence of driving on the wrong side of the road when one of the parked vehicles was hit;
(v) The State presented evidence of leaving the scene of all incidents, both with parked vehicles and the vehicle containing Smith; moreover, Doub did not attempt to render aid to Smith but rather chose to flee to avoid criminal liability;
(vi) The State presented evidence of residents near the parked vehicles shouting at Doub to stop, but Doub failed to heed these warnings.
Doub argues that his conduct was not even sufficiently egregious to constitute vehicular homicide, citing State v. Krovvidi, 274 Kan. 1059, 58 P.3d 687 (2002), which reversed a conviction for vehicular homicide. The following language defines the crime of vehicular homicide, which is quite different from the language defining depraved heart murder:
"Vehicular homicide is the unintentional killing of a human being committed by the operation of an automobile, airplane, motor boat or other motor vehicle in a manner which creates an unreasonable risk of injury to the person or property of another and which constitutes a material deviation from the standard of care which a reasonable person would observe under the same circumstances." K.S.A. 21-3405.
The facts in Krovvidi, however, differed greatly from those before us. In Krovvidi, the State pointed exclusively to inattentive driving and the fact that the driver drove through a red light as factors showing conduct that rose to the level of culpability required under the vehicular homicide statute. 274 Kan. at 1070-71. Here, the facts are far more egregious. Moreover, depraved heart murder requires an entirely different level of culpability from that required for vehicular homicide. The following language from Krovvidi is instructive:
"In this case, there are no aggravating factors present. Krovvidi had not been drinking and was not under the influence of any drug, both factors which may provide the additional evidence to establish a material deviation. None of the passengers in his vehicle warned him as he was about to enter the intersection; none were concerned that his driving appeared reckless or that he was accelerating or speeding as he approached the intersection. Krovvidi was not speeding and proceeded through the intersection thinking his light was green. Absent additional aggravating factors, we conclude that his conduct does not amount to the material deviation required under the provisions [of] K.S.A 21-3405." 274 Kan. at 1075.
In contrast to Krovvidi, Doub had been drinking, was undoubtedly under the influence of crack cocaine, ignored commands to stop, was speeding at least by comparison if not illegally, and otherwise exhibited additional factors of recklessness. Doub's reliance on Krovvidi is simply misplaced.
Considering the presence of many of those factors significant to other courts, we are convinced that a rational factfinder could have found Doub guilty of depraved heart second-degree murder beyond a reasonable doubt. The evidence against Doub is particularly damning considering that (a) he admits that his driving was preceded by drinking; (b) he admits that he struck two parked cars and ignored commands to stop because he was concerned that he had been drinking; (c) he then consumed additional alcohol and used crack cocaine; (d) he then resumed driving and caused a fatal collision, due in part to excessive speed; (e) he failed to render aid to the victims; and (f) he fled the scene in order to avoid criminal liability. We conclude that these facts clearly demonstrate an extreme indifference to human life.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Attorney General Eric Holder will travel to Newtown, Connecticut, on Thursday to meet law enforcement officials and investigators who are examining the school massacre there, a Justice Department official said.
Holder, the chief U.S. law enforcement official, will go after his scheduled meeting with Vice President Joe Biden and other cabinet officials about measures to reduce gun violence, the official said.
Federal law enforcement officials have been assisting local and state investigators to try to determine why and how the shooter killed 20 children and six adults on Friday.

Defense Leads Rams Past Polytechnic
Farmingdale State - 72, Polytechnic - 51
Farmingdale, N.Y. - The Farmingdale State women's basketball team forced 27 turnovers to defeat conference opponent Polytechnic 72-51 this evening. The Rams won their 12th game in the last 13 outings, improving to 12-4 on the season, 10-1 in Skyline play, while Polytechnic fell to 6-8, 4-5 in the conference.
In the first half, both offenses started slowly and Polytechnic held an 11-10 advantage at the 9:49 mark, after freshman forward Margaux Pickell (Howell, N.J.) hit the open jumper. Farmingdale State answered with a 7-0 run spanning the next 2:51, opening up a six point lead. The Rams would extend the lead, holding a 34-23 advantage at halftime.
In the second, the Rams would pull away opening up a 20 point lead only eight minutes in the half. Farmingdale State would go on to win by 21, holding the Fighting Blue Jays to only 51 points.
The Rams were led by junior guard Kimberly Blakney (Brooklyn, N.Y./Benjamin Banneker) who scored a team-high 22 points, had seven rebounds and a game-high six blocks. Blakney shot an impressive 73 percent from the field and was 3-for-4 from three-point range. Junior forward Gabrielle Green (North Babylon, N.Y./North Babylon) scored 12 points and had 10 rebounds for the Rams, while junior guard Kamaya Miller (Brooklyn, N.Y./Midwood) led the team with five steals.
Pickell led Polytechnic scoring a game-high 25 points and grabbing 16 rebounds, 13 from the defensive end. She shot 8-for-16 from the floor and 9-for-10 from the free-throw line.
Farmingdale State will host Sage on Saturday, January 31st and 3:00pm.

The Harper government is so obsessed with stressing what it's not going to do in Mali – combat – that it fumbles whenever it talks about what it will do.
It's been a pattern of miscommunication: Let every smidge of information about Canadian involvement dribble out elsewhere, preferably on Twitter or overseas. Then deny it. Wait. Then confirm it. Keep everyone guessing.
The result is that the government is sending not the message it intends, but the opposite: that Canada's being dragged in little by little.
That's not really true.
Stephen Harper's government has avoided deep involvement in Mali. He set limits: no combat. What he hasn't set out is a clear idea of what the Canadian role should be. His government has hesitated and delayed.
It's odd considering that the Canadian government used to say it had a pretty significant role in Mali, as a major aid donor and sometimes, trainer of its troops.
The message was bobbled in ways ranging from odd to surreal. News that Canada would send a C-17 cargo plane came first from a Malian Twitter feed. And after International Co-operation Minister Julian Fantino personally announced humanitarian aid, at a conference in Addis Ababa on Tuesday, his spokeswoman denied any announcement was made. Then she later confirmed it.
It all dates to December, when Defence Minister Peter MacKay said the military was considering what assistance, like training, it might offer to an African mission for Mali, but the Foreign Affairs Department contradicted him.
After France sent troops Jan. 10, things changed. France asked Canada for transport help. One Sunday night, Mali's President, Dioncounda Traoré, via Twitter, revealed Canada was sending a C-17. No, the government insisted late that night, Canada's "position hasn't changed." France hasn't made a formal request. The next morning, Ottawa announced the plane was going, but only for a week.
Turns out it's harder to respond to global events on your schedule in the Twitter age. But the government wasn't forthright, either. When France's President François Hollande called Mr. Harper two days later, the PMO summary of the call didn't mention that Mr. Hollande personally asked him to extend the C-17's tour and send more planes.
Then there was more hesitating in announcing the extension for the C-17 until the full week was up. The government repeated: no combat troops.
That's why leaks that special forces were guarding Canada's embassy in Bamako made news, even if it was just prudent. The government says little about special forces, and real security concerns do matter. But what the government said after the leak – steps were taken to protect diplomats – could have been said earlier to forestall the notion of secret ops.
Even basic questions about Canada's past training for Mali's soldiers, in 2011 and 2012, little noticed at the time, meet a wall. The Globe asked Friday how many Canadian soldiers went, and when, but still, no answers.
Lest one conclude there's something to hide, consider the bumbling when there's something to announce.
On Tuesday, as representatives from around the world met in Addis Ababa to pledge funds for an African force for Mali, the African Union tweeted a roll of pledges. There was no mention of Canada's.
But Mr. Fantino had spoken at the conference and announced $13-million in humanitarian aid, on camera. When the CBC asked about it, citing his own words, Mr. Fantino's spokesman said Canada hadn't announced anything. It didn't happen. Until press releases followed to say it did. It might be flubbed international co-ordination, but then it was the office of the Minister of International Co-operation. Governments typically trumpet aid announcements, rather than playing hide-and-seek.
Meanwhile, at a conference to fund African troops, Ottawa hadn't yet decided what to do on that score. Mr. Fantino said Wednesday the government didn't want to make a hasty decision, which makes you wonder why half the countries on the planet were ready to make a pledge, but not Canada.
Communications fumbles aren't much next to fighting in Mali. But the wobbly performance raises the prospect Ottawa will back away from things it can do, like training, so no one doubts the Harper government means it when it rules out combat. Gee, how could anyone get the idea it isn't being clear?

Pepsi Franchise to Open Center in Cape Girardeau
CAPE GIRARDEAU (AP) - A Pepsi franchise is planning to build a new customer service center in Cape Girardeau that could create 74 jobs.
The Missouri Department of Economic Development said Friday that Pepsi MidAmerica would complete the $3.1 million project. The state is offering incentives of up to $1.3 million through community development block grants and the enhanced enterprise zone program.
Pepsi MidAmerica was founded in Marion, Ill., in 1935, and is the country's largest privately held Pepsi franchise. The company serves southern Illinois, southern Missouri, western Kentucky, northwest Tennessee and a small portion of northeastern Arkansas. It currently has customer service centers in other southern Missouri cities but not Cape Girardeau.

Today marks the 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta, a document that enshrined the rights, privileges and liberties of the clergy and the nobles, and placed limits on the power of the crown.
The charter, first signed at Runnymede on the banks of the Thames contained 63 clauses dealing mostly with the administration of justice, and the detail of feudal rights and customs.
What you need to know:
- It was granted by King John in June 1215, drawn up after his barons rebelled and forced him to agree to limitations on his power, because he had demanded heavy taxes to fund his unsuccessful wars in France.
- Originally known as the 'charter of liberties' or the 'charter of Runnymede' it acquired its more familiar name in the year 1217.
- About 20 copies were originally made, only four survive: The British Library holds two; the cathedral cities of Salisbury and Lincoln have one each.
- Lincoln Cathedral's copy was on display in New York when the Second World War began and then spent nearly six years locked in Fort Knox.
- The original versions were written in Latin on a calfskin parchment. The first known written English version was made in 1534.
- Only three of the original clauses in Magna Carta are still law: one defends the freedom and rights of the English church; another confirms the liberties and customs of London and other towns; and a third paved the way for trial by jury.
- Magna Carta guaranteed free movement of people in and out of the country, for merchants (clause 41) and everyone else (42).
- The charter granted no freedoms to women. But some clauses did help women, particularly widows who were no longer forced into second marriages when a knight died in combat or of disease.
- Many of the rights in the 1998 Human Rights Act originated in principles emerging from Magna Carta. the Human Rights Act enshrines the European Convention of Human Rights in British law.
- A project called My Digital Rights, marking Magna Carta's anniversary and the 25th birthday of the world wide web aims to set out clauses people would like to see in a Magna Carta for the digital age. Voting is ongoing, see the current Top 10 most popular clauses.

In a 301-118 vote, the House of Representatives, today, passed an amendment that would extend the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), a law allowing government monitoring of American communications in efforts to allegedly thwart foreign spies and terrorists.
Originally set to expire at the end of 2012, the bill's extension would give the highly-secretive US Intelligence gathering National Security Administration nearly unlimited communication surveillance capabilities, allowing the snooping of emails and phone conversations until 2017.
Calling it a "very, very important source of valuable information," General Counsel of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence Robert Litt defended the electronic spying powers contained within FISA.
"I will lose an incredibly valuable source of foreign intelligence information that I think it's fair to say has been critical to protecting our country over the last few years," Litt told reporters Tuesday. ""I know of specific incidences both involving terrorist acts and involving other kinds of threats where we have been able to thwart them or gain significant insight into them as a result of this collection activity."
Litt refused to estimate the amount of communications that had been intercepted so far, saying that to do so would be "impractical," likely due to the high volume of data collected, and would put a strain on US intelligence. Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon sees this as unacceptable, stating "If a member of the intelligence committee doesn't know how many Americans have had their communications collected under the FISA authorities, then the possibility is that it could be quite large – nobody knows."
Sen. Wyden and Colorado Senator Mark Udall have contested passage of the bill in the Senate because it contains what Wyden says is a loophole that would be used to "circumvent traditional warrant protections and search for the communications of a potentially large number of Americans."
Sen. Wyden, in June, placed a "hold" on the measure until tougher guidelines are in place to protect Americans' rights once FISA is extended, including one amendment that would force the Inspectors General at the Justice Department and National Intelligence Director's office to give a "rough estimate" of the number of communications intercepted to keep the agency in check.
Sen. Wyden says the failure to provide at least an estimate of the extent of American surveillance, at the very least, presents a danger to civil liberties: "My concern has long been that the challenge is to ensure that we are protecting the well-being of our people – and there are certainly threats overseas – while at the same time standing up for those extraordinarily important values of liberty, and that we strike the balance…And my concern is that there is a substantial amount of evidence that that balance is not being struck."
The bill still has to go before the Senate prior to heading to "president" Obama's desk.
It's naive to think things would be different under Romney as he has, in the past, said that if he were president, he would continue to develop fusion centers "and other innovative systems to collect and systematically analyze information about domestic activities."

Adult / Family Medicine Services
Adult and Family Medicine are forms of Primary Care for adults and children. Primary Care services provided during a regular doctor's visit may include diagnosis and treatment of a common illness or ongoing care for a more serious condition, like diabetes. Primary Care physicians provide physical evaluations, medication monitoring, drug prescriptions, and oversee the total care of their patients.
Both Adult and Family physicians undergo extensive training. Adult Medicine physicians are generally known as Doctors of Internal Medicine, or Internists. Family physicians are trained to diagnose and treat ailments in patients of all ages and receive training in Adult Medicine, care of the aged, women's health, maternity care, behavioral health, and the care of children.
If you are a current DHS patient but have not been assigned to a Primary Care provider, talk to your medical provider to see if an Adult or Family Medicine clinic is the right place for your ongoing care needs. If you are not currently a patient and do not have health care coverage, visit one of the DHS clinic sites listed below that offer Adult/Family Medicine to find a provider and get linked to services.
Please note that financial screening is required at each of these locations prior to seeing a doctor or making an appointment. Clinic staff will help you determine all available coverage and payment options.
