Cruise Holidays of Austin
(512) 419-7327
Late fall and early winter are an ideal time to book a Spring Break cruise. While some people book Spring Break cruises more than six months in advance, you'll find that the selection of destinations and itineraries is still excellent. The choice of staterooms is very good as well, and a cruise consultant can help you select the best one for you and your traveling companions.In the spring, most cruise vacationers are looking for warm climates, whether to defrost from a northern winter or to get a head start on their summer tans.
Popular destinations include the Bahamas; the islands of the Eastern or Southern Caribbean; Mexico's Caribbean coast, which includes Cozumel, Cancun and the Riviera Maya; and Mexico's Pacific Coast, also known as the Mexican Riviera. You could also cruise the Panama Canal, or venture farther south to South America.
Spring Break usually comes a bit too early for cruises of Alaska or Northern Europe, but if you'd like to cruise Europe the Mediterranean is open for business. A Mediterranean cruise can take you to the lovely European cities of Barcelona, Nice, Rome and Venice, to name a few. Or, for a truly refreshing change from winter at home, choose a cruise of the sun washed Greek Isles.
If you're worried about sharing your Spring Break cruise with a crowd of rowdy college or high school students, know that most cruise lines have policies that require chaperones for younger guests. Ask your personal cruise expert for more details.

So how "free" is free speech, really?
By law, under the First Amendment, speech is very free. Government can only stop us from speaking, or punish us for what we've said, under very limited circumstances.
Sometimes, those limits on free speech are pretty clear and generally agreed upon. For example, speech that is involved in a criminal act like extortion or blackmail finds no shelter in the First Amendment.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday announced that he will reestablish a regular Bible study group at his official residence in Jerusalem. The group will be open to Bible researchers, government officials and invited guests.
Netanyahu made the announcement on the 30-day anniversary of the passing of his father-in-law, Shmuel Ben-Artzi, who was a respected Israeli poet and Bible teacher. Ben-Artzi used to attend the regular Bible studies hosted by Israel's first prime minister, David Ben Gurion.
"Ben-Gurion understood that the Book of Books is our mandate for our country," Netanyahu said. "He viewed the Bible as the wondrous story of the Jewish people, the unique spiritual, cultural and historic heritage of our people, and also as one of the cornerstones of all of human culture."
The father of Netanyahu's Likud Party, Menachem Begin, also used to host regular Bible studies at the prime minister's residence. Netanyahu said he wanted to reinstate that practice in order to encourage love of the Bible among government officials, and by extension, the nation.

Cream Caramel Recipes
Mango and Coconut Creme Caramel
Coffee and Cardamom Flavored Creme Caramel
Crème caramel is one of my favorite desserts. It's basically a rich custard with a layer of soft caramel. I dressed this one up with a little espresso powder and cardamom.
Making these desserts reminded me of my childhood. My mom would tell me every day not to eat anything before dinner, but after coming home from school, I would always make a beeline to the refrigerator when she wasn't looking. I would get one crème caramel, flip it onto a plate, and let the delicious caramel flow in every direction. It didn't last very long; I would inhale the dessert and lick all the caramel off the plate before I got caught. You would think that I wouldn't really have enjoyed the dessert because I ate it so fast, but there was something thrilling (and delicious) about sneaking a bite without anyone knowing. Maybe that's why I named my site Pham Fatale. I've been in the (food) espionage business for a long time!
These covert operations inevitably would make me too full for dinner. I know I was a terrible child! My parents always wondered why I never ate, and have probably been unaware of my antics until now. Sorry Mom!
I think, in America, crème caramel and flan can be used interchangeably.

NOTES from the UNDERGROUND… No. 122 | October 16, 2007
Well, if you're living a good part of your meaningful, sometimes dangerous life on the net, as many of us 'writer-writers' do, you will recognize the territory of Janet Malcolm's "Pandora's Click". Always just one click away to hell, if you're not thinking. Of course you're thinking too much, too fast, with too much emotion–that's the problem. An then you release–confident you've in stone. And you have written it in–cyber stone. Much to your dismay.
I suspect we've all had a bad hand in this. And will, of course, never learn the lesson because we love how fast we can say it all, thinking we HAVE said it all. Period.
But then our words fly backward down through cyber space haunting, hitting us like a hailstorm.
Janet Malcolm…well, if you don't read The New Yorker, if you've never heard or read her anywhere before, including her books—you're vastly unread. She is the queen of nonfiction (in my book.) Google her. Amazon.com her. Buy her books. Read everything she's written (you'll be the wiser)–especially/including THE JOURNALIST AND THE MURDERER (especially if you've ever 'done' journalism, or plan to. REQUIRED reading.) She's not better or equal to Joan Dideon. She's Janet Malcolm. In a class by herself.
Oh. This is a book review below—raised to the power of a brilliant essay. That's Janet Malcolm. Norbert Blei
Pandora's Click by Janet Malcolm
Send: The Essential Guide to Email for Office and Home by David Shipley and Will Schwalbe Knopf, 247 pp., $19.95
To say that Send: The Essential Guide to Email for Office and Home is more a users' manual than a book is not to belittle it. Email is like an appliance that we have been helplessly misusing because it arrived without instructions. Thanks to David Shipley and Will Schwalbe, our blind blunderings are over. With Shipley and Schwalbe's excellent instructions in hand we can email as confidently as we load the dishwasher and turn on the microwave.
Shipley and Schwalbe are not exaggerating when they say that their guide is essential. For, in truth, email is more like a dangerous power tool than like a harmless kitchen appliance. The more skillful (or lucky) among us have escaped serious injury, but many, perhaps most, of us have suffered the equivalent of burns, lost fingers, electric shocks, and bone fractures. Incautious emailing has cost jobs, ruined friendships, threatened marriages, subverted projects, even led to jail time. "On email, people aren't quite themselves," Shipley and Schwalbe write. "They are angrier, less sympathetic, less aware, more easily wounded, even more gossipy and duplicitous. Email has a tendency to encourage the lesser angels of our nature." It also has the capacity for instant retribution. In one of their cautionary illustrations, Shipley and Schwalbe hold up an email exchange between an executive and a secretary at a large American company in China.
The executive nastily wrote:
You locked me out of my office this evening because you assume I have my office key on my person. With immediate effect, you do not leave the office until you have checked with all the managers you support.
The secretary wrote back:
I locked the door because the office has been burgled in the past. Even though I'm your subordinate, please pay attention to politeness when you speak. This is the most basic human courtesy. You have your own keys. You forgot to bring them, but you still want to say it's someone else's fault.
She then performed the two-click operation that sent copies of her and her boss's emails to the entire staff of the company. Before long the exchange appeared in the Chinese press and led to the executive's resignation.
Another anecdote that Shipley and Schwalbe tell to illustrate email's special killer combination of winking at our bad behavior and horribly punishing us for it also involves a boss and secretary. In this case, the secretary spilled ketchup on the boss's trousers, and he wrote an email asking for the £4 it cost to have the trousers cleaned (the company was a British law firm). Receiving no reply, he pursued the matter. Finally he—and hundreds of people at the firm—received this email:
Subject: Re: Ketchup trousers
With reference to the email below, I must apologize for not getting back to you straight away but due to my mother's sudden illness, death and funeral I have had more pressing issues than your £4. I apologize again for accidentally getting a few splashes of ketchup on your trousers. Obviously your financial need as a senior associate is greater than mine as a mere secretary. Having already spoken to and shown your email…to various partners, lawyers and trainees…, they kindly offered to do a collection to raise the £4. I however declined their kind offer but should you feel the urgent need for the £4, it will be on my desk this afternoon. Jenny.
Again, the exchange found its way into the press—and thus into Send. But Shipley and Schwalbe hardly needed to scour newspaper archives for examples of email's destructive power. How many of us have—among other self-immolations—badmouthed someone in an email, only to make the fatal mis-click that sends the email to the very person we have betrayed? And what can we do to repair the damage? Anything? "The email era has made necessary a special type of apology," Shipley and Schwalbe write,
the kind you have to make when you are the bonehead who fired off a ridiculously intemperate email or who accidentally sent an email to the person you were covertly trashing. In situations like these, our first inclination is to apologize via the medium that got us into so much trouble in the first place. Resist this inclination.
Instead, go see the person or telephone him, for "the graver the email sin, the more the email apology trivializes it." "Just because we have email we shouldn't use it for everything," Shipley and Schwalbe write, introducing a notion that younger readers may find too radical to take seriously. The generation that has grown up with email—that has never done such a thing as mail a letter or walk down the hall to a colleague's office to ask a question—will derive different benefits from Send. The young make different mistakes on email than the middle- aged and old do. College students who send outrageous email requests to their teachers (addressed "Hiya Professor!") or college applicants who write long, self-satisfied emails to admissions of-ficers "seem painfully unaware that the person they are writing to (and annoying) is the same person who could be offering them a place in a freshman class or grading them at term's end." The poor lambs don't know better, and Send is good at setting them straight.
On the face of it, an email and a letter are the same thing: a piece of writing addressed to one or several persons. But letter-writing was never the fraught activity that email-writing is. Shipley and Schwalbe believe that the trouble derives from a fundamental flaw in email for which the user has to compensate:
If you don't consciously insert tone into an email, a kind of universal default tone won't automatically be conveyed. Instead, the message written without regard to tone becomes a blank screen onto which the reader projects his own fears, prejudices and anxieties.
To counteract this perilous ambiguity, Shipley and Schwalbe suggest a program of unrelenting niceness. Keep letting your correspondent know how much you like and respect him, praise and flatter him, constantly demonstrate your puppyish friendliness, and stick in exclamation points (and sometimes even smiling face icons) wherever possible. "The exclamation point is a lazy but effective way to combat email's essential lack of tone," Shipley and Schwalbe write. "'I'll see you at the conference' is a simple statement of fact. "'I'll see you at the conference!' lets your fellow conferee know that you're excited and pleased about the event." Shipley and Schwalbe then make an arresting remark:
Sure, the better your word choice the less need you will have for this form of shorthand. But until we find more time in the day— and until email begins to convey affect—we will continue to sprinkle exclamation points liberally throughout our emails.
So this is the crux of the matter: Email is a medium of bad writing. Poor word choice is the norm—as is tone deafness. The problem of tone is, of course, the problem of all writing. There is no "universal default tone." When people wrote letters they had the same blank screen to fill. And there were the same boneheads among them, who alienated correspondents with their ghastly oblivious prose. One has only to look at the letter-writing manuals of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries to see that most of the problems Shipley and Schwalbe deal with are not unique to email but common to the whole epistolary genre. They are writing problems. Some of us do find the time in the day to write a carefully worded, exclamation-point-free email when the occasion demands. Mostly, though, all of us who use email avail ourselves of its permission to write fast and sloppy. Shipley and Schwalbe's serene acceptance of the unwriterliness of email, of its function as an instrument of speedy, heedless communication, is correct, and their guide is helpful precisely because it doesn't pretend that the instrument is anything but what it is.
"We don't think of ourselves as old, but we recall when the phone was a big deal," the fortysomething authors write. It won't be long before email, too, stops being a big deal. The people who now use email to fire employees or propose marriage or disparage friends will realize that they were doing the equivalent of throwing fragile silks into the washing machine. As email's novelty wears off and its limitations become clearer, we will revert to the telephone when something complex, intimate, or low-minded needs to be communicated. We will use email for straightforward business and social arrangements. One takes away from Send a refreshing sense of the authors' dislike of the tool they are teaching us to use. They may not be old, but they are old enough to see email in the perspective of life as it was lived before this Pandora's Box appeared among us.
Interestingly, the models Shipley and Schwalbe choose to illustrate their section "How to Write a Perfect Email" were written by twelve-year-olds. The really young, evidently, don't need the help the rest of us do; like Blakean innocents, they are untouched by email's evil. Their harmless chatter ("OMG! I was playing yesterday, when this really CUTE boy rode up on his bike") is reminiscent of the notes we used to pass in class, which are, come to think of it, the precursors of email: hastily written, instantly delivered and replied to, and, if intercepted by the wrong person, mortifying. As the really young become merely young it will be interesting to see what happens. Will their childish babbling evolve into decent writing? Does writing a lot lead to writing well? Even (OMG!) on email?
From: THE NEW YORK REVIEW OF BOOKS, Vol. 54, Number 14, September 27, 2007
Janet Malcolm (born 1934) is an American writer and journalist on the staff of The New Yorker magazine. She is the author of The Silent Woman: Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes, Psychoanalysis: The Impossible Profession, and Inside the Freud Archives.
Malcolm is best known for the $10 million lawsuit triggered by Inside the Freud Archives in 1991, when psychoanalyst Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson sued for $10 million after claiming that Malcolm had fabricated explosive quotations by him. After several years of proceedings, the court found against Masson.
Craig Seligman wrote of her: "Like Sylvia Plath, whose not-niceness she has laid open with surgical skill, she discovered her vocation in not-niceness … Malcolm's blade gleams with a razor edge. Her critics tend to go after her with broken bottles."
Malcolm was born in Prague in 1934, one of two daughters–the other is author Marie Winn– of a psychiatrist father, but has lived in the United States since her family emigrated from Czechoslovakia in 1939. She was educated at the University of Michigan and lives in New York. Her first husband was Donald Malcolm who reviewed books for The New Yorker in the 50's and 60's. Her second husband, (m. 1975) Gardner Botsford, a long time editor at the New Yorker, died at age 87 in September 2004. The book jackets of her earliest works record her as "living in New York with her husband and daughter". Her daughter is also mentioned in the text of The Crime of Sheila McGough.
In The Freud Archives triggered a $10M legal challenge by Jeffrey Masson, former project director for the Freud archives, who claimed that Malcolm had libelled him by fabricating quotations by him that brought him into disrepute.
In the disputed quotations, Masson called himself an "intellectual gigolo," who had slept with over 1000 women; said he wanted to turn the Freud estate into a haven of "sex, women and fun"; and claimed that he was, "after Freud, the greatest analyst that ever lived". Malcolm was unable to produce all the disputed material on tape. The case was partially adjudicated before the Supreme Court (see the opinion at Masson v. New Yorker Magazine, Inc. (89-1799), 501 U.S. 496 (1991)), and after years of proceedings, a jury finally found against Masson in 1994.
The thesis of The Journalist and the Murderer is contained in its first sentence: "Every journalist who is not too stupid or too full of himself to notice what is going on knows that what he does is morally indefensible."
Malcolm's example was popular author Joe McGinniss, author of The Selling of the President, who ingratiated himself into the bosom of the defense team of former Green Beret doctor Jeffrey MacDonald, then on trial for the 1970 murder of his pregnant wife and two daughters. McGinniss's Fatal Vision concluded that MacDonald was a psychopath high on amphetamines when he killed his family. McGinniss's "morally indefensible" act, in Malcolm's view, was to pretend that he believed MacDonald was innocent, even after he became convinced of his guilt, in order to remain privy to defense-team strategies.

Sandy Alderson concluded his introductory press conference less than an hour ago at Citi Field and made a positive first impression in laying out the groundwork for the first year of his four-year contract with the Mets.
Among the topics he addressed:
FRONT OFFICE: As suggested here yesterday, Alderson said a priority would be in piecing together his staff. He stressed the word "collaborative,'' meaning he'll bring in some quality people and delegate responsibility. It figures to be a staff that encourages the free flow of information and ideas, but Alderson didn't leave any doubt that wasn't afraid to pull the trigger on a decision. The farm system, he said, produced players last season, which could be interpreted as a plus for Terry Collins.
MANAGER: The impression is Alderson isn't keen on bringing in a celebrity manager, which isn't good news for those stumping for Bobby Valentine. Alderson did say he wasn't averse to hiring a fiery personality, which leaves the door open to Wally Backman. The new manager should reflect the organization's philosophy, and should have an intellectual and analytical side to him. Alderson mentioned no candidate by name, but speculation is Bob Melvin has emerged as a favorite. The interview process is expected to begin next week.
THE FUTURE: Alderson said he's not focused beyond 2011. He admitted he doesn't expect to be a big player in this winter's free agent market, but that the Mets expect to be players in the future. Alderson acknowledged the team has financial constraints with up to $130 million earmarked in salary for next season. He also said the team should be competitive in 2011, and with increased production from Jason Bay and others (Carlos Beltran for one, but he didn't mention him by name) the Mets could be better.
THE DEADWOOD: Alderson said: "I think we want to be thoughtful about everything we do. I'm mindful of public opinion, but I think we have to be circumspect here. I think we need to be careful about writing off any player or any asset we have without thinking about it carefully.'' Alderson left the impression he would speak with Oliver Perez about 2010. Alderson didn't say Perez had a role for next season, but he also didn't say he didn't, either. Unloading Perez in a deal will be next to impossible, so he's not about to hurt himself in trade talks by trashing Perez now. Alderson is simply keeping his options open, which is the smart thing to do.
It was a good first impression, but considering where the Mets have been, it would've been hard for Alderson to not have impressed this afternoon.
I, like a lot of others, want Alderson to turn around this franchise. A competitive Mets team is good for the city and for baseball and today was a positive.

This 1924 conference on public health in the schools came during a time when there was a great deal of public concern about the health of youthful Americans. This concern has remained constant in most times, but in this era these worries were often expressed in racial terms. Here, the major objective is stated as "making a race of healthy school children and in time a race of healthy American citizens." In many places in the United States during this era this emphasis on race was an outgrowth of the eugenics movement.

A few weeks ago, I wrote a "Lost Journal" column about my 7-year-old nephew Tommy's "Enemies List."
Journal entry: June 3, 2008 (age 39)
A few weeks ago, I wrote a "Lost Journal" column about my 7-year-old nephew Tommy's "Enemies List." It explained that the only name on the list was Tony Kornheiser, the well-known sports commentator and co-host of Monday Night Football. Tommy was upset with him for a few digs he made about our family's hometown of Binghamton. Kornheiser graduated from Harpur College, which is now Binghamton University.
To my surprise, the column caught the attention of Kornheiser himself. "Lost Journal" appears in newspapers in Binghamton, Cortland and Ithaca, and apparently a reader in Ithaca mailed it to him. In response, Kornheiser sent me an e-mail which said, in part: "Tell Tommy I LOVE Binghamton. I went to school there, as you noted. I endow a scholarship to go to a student on the campus newspaper. I am enormously proud I went to Harpur, and proud to support my school. Of course I made fun of Binghamton. I lived there, and have bonds there, so I can. But please tell Tommy: We kid because we love. And I'll buy him a spiedie and a beer (when he's 21) at Sharkey's any time he wants."
I forwarded the e-mail to my brother Dan, who read it to Tommy. The reaction was immediate: "OK, he's off the Enemies List." But then Tommy's brother, Patrick, age 9, weighed in. "You shouldn't put him on the Friends List right away. You should make sure he gets you that spiedie and beer. Until then, he should go on the In Between List." Tommy nodded in agreement, and in so doing, condemned Mr. Tony to 14 years in friendship purgatory.
Meanwhile, the whole matter had become a topic of discussion on The Tony Kornheiser Show, a radio talk show based in Washington, D.C. and heard nationwide on XM Satellite Radio. Kornheiser read the entire column on the air, and spent the next two days trying to come up with a way to win over young Tommy. Kornheiser, his co-hosts, and his listeners suggested many things that could be sent to the child, such as ice cream, a car, or, more ominously, a dead fish. Said Mr. Tony, "All kids love fish, right? How about a big red snapper?"
Kornheiser's response to the whole thing proved what I suspected all along - that he could take a joke as well as us folks here in Binghamton. Even as he was proclaiming his love for the place, he couldn't resist getting in another jab, saying "It's a hell-hole." But how mad could I be? The guy had just given national exposure to the "Lost Journal" column at the very time when I'm trying to get it into wider syndication. So thanks, Tony!
I'd like to conclude by saying that my nephew, Patrick, thinks Oprah Winfrey is "The Worst Person on the Planet." Ms. Winfrey, if you'd like to discuss this matter, I'd be happy to accompany the little fella to your TV studio in Chicago.

ALL BALL NERVE CENTER — Here is a list of the things that happen in the following YouTube video:
1. Dirk Nowitzki gets into a car with a fellow German, a DJ named Flula.
2. The car is driven by a member of the Dallas Mavericks Dancers. Another member of the Dallas Mavericks Dancers is riding shotgun. They are both wearing their dancing costumes.
3. While riding in the car, Flula uses a bunch of technical equipment to create a beat and loop it.
4. Eventually, a spirited rendition of the Rolling Stones' "Satisfaction" breaks out.
5. Dirk takes the lead.
If it sounds like there's a lot going on here, that's because there is. And I didn't even get to half of it. But it's totally worth checking out…

You probably noticed that today's release of the Bureau of Economic Analysis' (BEA) local area personal income statistics is missing some detail that's normally included. Why?
Automatic budget cuts due to the 2013 sequester forced BEA to eliminate some data from the release, including detailed county-level statistics showing how much income people received from specific transfer receipts programs (unemployment benefits, Social Security, and Medicare); information on the categories of farm income and expenses; and data on the number of people employed by industry and the average wage per job.
BEA laid out the impact of the 2013 budget sequester on its local area personal income (LAPI) statistics on June 19. Today's release is the first LAPI report affected by the automatic budget cuts.
BEA also scaled back some of the local statistical detail normally provided. For instance, today's report contains detailed compensation and earnings information for 25 industries, instead of the usual 108.
For more information on how BEA's LAPI statistics were affected by the 2013 sequester, please visit BEA's Web site.
You can still access historical LAPI statistics that were produced before the detail was eliminated or reduced. Those statistics (which cover the period of 1969–2011 and were published November 2012) are available at http://www.bea.gov/regional/histdata, under the heading Local Area Personal Income.

These Dating Tips For Women MUST Be Fake [PICTURES]
These scanned images from what appears to be a book on courtship (that's what our mom calls it — courting) circa who knows when popped up on Reddit yesterday. We looked them over and at first thought "these have to be fake." The photos are very real, and this book exists, but the text must have been doctored in some way. This can't be real advice to women. These captions can't be real. Can they?
Alright, who is writing these captions, Tarzan? "Man needs it in driving." Man no see, car go crash. He no have Geico. Also, grabbing the rearview mirror while a person is driving is a general no-no for a hundred different reasons other than 'ticking off your date.' How about don't do it, because, well you could both die? Death be damned, she is light on lip gloss!
Oh man, a dollar for every time a woman tried to make us cry on a date. Usually we do, but only before, during and after sex and occasionally if we order the wrong salad.
Women getting too friendly with waiters is an issue? So friendly that she is telling him how another date went? We can't even get waiters to get our food order correct, this woman is getting dating advice with a side of slaw. If they are talking about her last date because this is the same restaurant she went to with him, that's also poor form. If they are talking about her last date because it was this waiter, well, the other guy should just ask for the check and wrap this whole evening up. That dude looks like he is packing and we aren't referring to firearms.
All our witty comments aside, could these captions be real? What do you think?

Baseball Season Ends in College World Series, 4-2
Associate SID
OMAHA, Neb. – North Carolina pitcher Trent Thornton limited top-ranked LSU to two runs over seven innings and a comeback bid came up short as the Tar Heels eliminated the Tigers from the College World Series by a score of 4-2 on Tuesday afternoon at TD Ameritrade Park.
LSU (57-11) concluded a memorable season, tying the school and Southeastern Conference record for wins (57), while claiming an SEC West championship, an SEC Tournament championship, an NCAA regional title and an NCAA super regional crown.
"It was a very frustrating game," said LSU head coach Paul Mainieri. "We had so many opportunities and couldn't come through with a big hit. We came here to win, came here to win a championship.
"But in time, I'm not going to let that fact take away from these kids and what they accomplished this year. They are champions, and we won several championships this year. We just didn't win the big one, the big championship."
North Carolina (58-11), the only NCAA Division I team to not lose back-to-back games this season, shattered its school record for wins and moved on to face the loser of North Carolina State-UCLA at 7 p.m. CT Thursday.
First baseman Mason Katz, playing the final game of his career, reached base all five at-bats with three walks and two hits. Right fielder Mark Laird went 3-for-5, while designated hitter Sean McMullen scored two runs and connected for two hits.
LSU starter Cody Glenn (7-3), who had not pitched since May 22 at the SEC Tournament, absorbed the loss, allowing three runs on five hits in two innings pitched. Glenn allowed a two-out, two-run homer in the first to catcher Brian Holberton that put the Tigers behind 2-0 before coming to the plate.
The Tar Heels tacked on another run in the third, but senior reliever Brent Bonvillain kept LSU alive, working 4.1 innings and allowing only a run on five hits. Bonvillain escaped a bases loaded jam in the third when he entered the game in relief of Glenn.
The Tigers finally got on the board against Thornton in the fifth on Katz' clutch two-out RBI single into left field, scoring McMullen. LSU mounted its biggest threat against Thornton in the seventh, loading the bases following a double by McMullen down the right field line and a single from Laird. Shortstop Alex Bregman grounded into a double play that scored one run but the Tar Heels minimized the damage when Raph Rhymes flew out to centerfield.
Thornton (12-1) exited in the eighth after allowing a walk to Christian Ibarra. He left after scattering nine hits and walking four with three strikeouts. The Tigers again the loaded the bases on a JaCoby Jones single and a McMullen hit by pitch with two outs. Laird's liner into left field just missed falling as the side was retired.
UNC pitcher Chris McCue notched his second save of the season with a scoreless ninth. Bregman lined out to right field. Following a Katz walk, Rhymes flew out to centerfield and Ibarra struck out to end the game.
Third baseman Colin Moran led the Tar Heels with three hits and two runs.

Carl Drew '98 Leading Cyclists to Inspire Teensby Howard W. Hewitt • October 4, 2007 Share:
The story has a familiar feel. A young man comes to Wabash College with the desire to study biology or a pre-med tract and finds it difficult and changes paths. But few Wabash men have chosen a road similar to the byway traveled by Carl Drew '98.
Drew stopped by campus briefly Oct. 4 in the midst of a cross-country bicycle trip with nine friends. The mountain climber, tri-athlete, cyclist, and adventurer was leading the trip to help spread the word about leadership skills to teenagers across the country.
LifeClimb – Teaching Teens to Climb Through Life is Drew's brainchild. He serves as the group's executive director while continuing his career with Vector Marketing, which sells Cutco Cutlery.
He launched LifeClimb in early 2007. The 3,500-mile bike ride features frequent stops as the group talks with teens about leadership and decision making.
Drew was influenced primarily by two men as he was progressing through high school and Wabash. He was a Boy Scout through his early years and took "kind of a geeky path," he joked. "I was the kid wearing my Scout uniform on scouting day."
But an assistant scoutmaster saw a young man from Goshen, Indiana, who could have an average life or an amazing lifetime of experiences. Drew said that scoutmaster became his mentor and introduced him to indoor rock climbing and other adventures.
Drew had an older uncle who had graduated from Wabash and became a doctor. So Drew had intended on following in his uncle's footsteps. But a trip abroad to Australia and then school break trips with fraternity brothers to climb outdoors changed his life path.
"I decided at that point my life was going to be in outdoor adventure, but I wasn't sure how," he said. Drew spent his summers selling knives for Cutco and made substantial money during his summer work.
Re-enter his uncle who discouraged Carl from pursuing medical school. "I'd had a conversation, and he said 'You have done so well in sales, and marketing kitchen cutlery and finding your own niche, I'd suggest you just continue that path for the next year or two.'"
So at the end of his senior year, with a psychology major, Drew told brothers at the Fiji house he would continue to sell Cutco knives and then take a year off and travel the world.
He has done just that. In 2006, he climbed K2 in Pakistan, the second-highest mountain on Earth. He has competed in triathlons. He leads adventure tour groups. He still works for Cutco and he's trying to launch LifeClimb through the summer bike ride. The group expects to hit 25 major cities, ride the 3,500 miles and speak to more than 20,000 kids.
The biking group was composed by a group of Drew's friends. The eight riders are Tommy Locklin, Syracuse, In., Rob Lykns, Detroit, Jamar Cobb-Dennard, Indianapolis, Katherine Schwager, Louisville, Jason Jeffery, Grand Rapids, Mi., Brad Weimert, Ann Arbor, Mi., and Neil Kelly, Ventura, Ca.

This (1995) is the hundredth anniversary of Nathan Cummings' birth. His descendants collaborated to make this foundation a living, vibrant institution. It is a memorial which embodies his commitment to service and draws together the efforts of his children and grandchildren. For us, it has been a profound challenge and opportunity.
Foundations play a unique role in American society. They support the network of non-profit organizations providing human services to the poor and disadvantaged, as well as cultural sustenance to people of all economic levels.
Within the larger constellation of American foundations, there are over 20,000 family foundations. Just as each family is unique, each family foundation has a different viewpoint with differing areas of focal interest, all enlivening the democratic debate. In the next 40 years, approximately $10 trillion will be transferred from one generation of Americans to another. Historically, such transfers have been opportunities for the creation of new family foundations. When our grandfather, Nathan Cummings, died twelve years ago in 1985, he endowed the foundation in which we now participate.
In our experience, we have had the joy of helping many people to better their lives, and assisting many institutions to strengthen their capacity to serve the public interest. The financial support we have provided, the lessons we have learned, and the satisfaction we have taken justifies the many hundreds of hours that our family has devoted to this enterprise. We have built a significant program, evaluated its effectiveness, and continue to modify it as appropriate. We have dealt with tensions among family members and emerged from the process with a stronger and more unified foundation and family.
On behalf of the Nathan Cummings family, I want to express my deep appreciation to those non-profit institutions whose vital work we have gratefully found ourselves in a position to support. Their contributions to the lives and well-being of all Americans have been immeasurable, and we are pleased to have played a part in their success. I also want to thank the staff of the foundation who have worked so effectively with us to make this happen.
We offer this progress report to others in family foundations who are facing the same challenges we are, and to other families who are considering the creation of a new family foundation. Each one will be special; some will be smaller and others larger, some local in their reach, some national. We can support each others' efforts and learn from one another as we endeavor to sustain the independent sector and strengthen democratic values. --James K. Cummings

The U.S. Senate and House of Representatives has cleared for the President's signature The Secure and Responsible Drug Disposal Act (pdf), legislation backed by the National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA) that could improve and encourage voluntary prescription drug disposal programs.
The legislation authorizes the U.S. Attorney General to issue new regulations (under the Controlled Substances Act) that could allow community pharmacies offering disposal programs to accept controlled substances, which presently can only be turned in to law enforcement officials. According to the U.S. Office of National Drug Control Policy, for young people ages 12-17, prescription drugs have become the second most abused illegal drug (behind marijuana) with controlled substances playing a major role.
Passing the legislation took years of effort, especially on the part of U.S. Sens. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) and John Cornyn (R-Texas) and U.S. Reps. Jay Inslee (D-Wash.), Jim Moran (D-Va.), Lamar Smith (R-Texas) and Bart Stupak (D-Mich.). NCPA supported lawmakers throughout the process by providing the community pharmacists' perspective.
"Prescription drug abuse is at epic proportions in many parts of the country and community pharmacists are uniquely positioned to help Americans properly dispose of their expired and unused prescription drugs," said Douglas Hoey, RPh, NCP acting executive vice president and CEO. "We commend members of Congress from both parties for coming together to approve this important legislation.
"Just this past weekend, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration held a national 'Take-Back' Day, which had the support of NCPA," Hoey added. "We commend the DEA for its efforts, but believe consumers need continued, ongoing access to convenient disposal locations. Programs like Dispose My Meds also offer another avenue to allow community pharmacists to promote proper adherence to the patient's prescription medication regimen."
Leftover prescription drugs from family medicine cabinets create the potential for misuse or accidental ingestion by children or pets. In addition, traces of prescription drugs have been found in America's drinking water when they were discarded in environmentally unfriendly ways.

POSTED: Jul 12, 2014 6:28 PM ET
CHICAGO (AP) — Free-agent center Pau Gasol says he has decided to join the Chicago Bulls.
Gasol Heads to Chicago
Gasol announced on his verified Twitter account on Saturday that he was looking forward to the "new chapter" of his career in Chicago. He says the choice wasn't easy and he decided on the Bulls "after meditating a lot."
It was unclear if Gasol had signed with the Bulls or was a part of a sign-and-trade deal with the Los Angeles Lakers, where he had played for parts of seven seasons. San Antonio and Oklahoma City also were believed to be in the hunt for the 34-year-old veteran.
The 7-foot Gasol averaged 17.4 points and 9.7 rebounds in 60 games last season with Los Angeles.

Oscar Celestini
Solar Sailer Prisoners is an 8-page comic adventure that was included in Titan Magazines' TRON: Legacy The Official Movie Magazine. The story was by Alessandro Sisti, pencil and ink by Claudio Sciarrone, and paint by Oscar Celestini. It tells of how Bartik rescued some programs and planned a rebellion, leading up to his appearance in TRON: Legacy.
The comic begins with some sirens having a conversation about how the black guards have arrested all the dissidents in Tron City because they fear that the arrival of Sam Flynn will spark a revolt against Clu. Some of these programs were taken to fight in the Game Complex, while others were taken to the Solar Sailer docks. Gem decided that Bartik would like to know this, so she informed him about the captive programs. Bartik ordered his ally, Hopper, to bring him some backup to help free the prisoners. The group arrived at the docks, and they boarded a Solar Sailer full of programs on stand by.
Bartik used a light grenade to derez the control panel, which caused the captive programs to reactivate. However, black guards were headed their way, making their chances of escape slim. Bartik concocted a plan involving the rogue programs standing still to make it appear that they were still on stand by. The rebels ambushed the guards, but one guard managed generate his sword and slashed it across Bartik's face, lightly wounding him. The guard was then quickly derezzed by a program's disc. Another guard managed to sound the alarm, causing the rogue programs to flee.
Bartik then decided that the group should go to the End of the Line Club to ask Castor for advice. He declared "The Revolution has begun".
- While the guards are referred to as "Black Guards", they are really depicted as sentries, a mistake on the part of the illustrators.

Deeply moving, filled with poignancy, humor and hope, "The Help" is a timeless and universal story about the ability to create change.
Based on one of the most talked about books in years and a #1 New York Times best-selling phenomenon, "The Help" stars Emma Stone ("Easy A") as Skeeter, Academy Award®–nominated Viola Davis ("Doubt") as Aibileen and Octavia Spencer as Minny—three very different, extraordinary women in Mississippi during the 1960s, who build an unlikely friendship around a secret writing project that breaks societal rules and puts them all at risk. From their improbable alliance a remarkable sisterhood emerges, instilling all of them with the courage to transcend the lines that define them, and the realization that sometimes those lines are made to be crossed—even if it means bringing everyone in town face-to-face with the changing times.I plan to assemble my girl crew ~ my daughter, my sister and my niece ~ and have an inspired evening of quality, thought-provoking entertainment.
And chocolate treats!

Concrete in Paramus, NJ
Paramus's Concrete Service Since 1999
Two distinct facets exist to Concrete work: First, making it properly and then working with it. We have been doing both in Paramus, New Jersey since 1999.
At BMF Masonry we know how to make Reinforced Concrete ('RC') in Paramus by pouring concrete over steel tore in force the bar. For technical reasons too detailed to go into here, we make Pre-stressed Concrete too. It is made in much the same way as RC except that in the first phase the rods are stretched tight; then, in the second drying phase they are allowed to contract. This makes the concrete even denser and harder. Curious? Just call us at (201) 228-1858! We'll be happy to answer all your questions on concrete.
Many contractors provide concrete services in Paramus. You may well think, "Why hire a company when I can get it done by a one-man shop and save a buck?" We believe that you shouldn't think along the lines of 'save a buck' but how to get the most bang for your buck.
To illustrate, an inexperienced Paramus concrete contractor may leave unfinished edges or a jagged corner when making a wall or a sidewalk. But with all the experience we have gained since we started in 1999, you can be assured that our Paramus concrete work will have a professional finish – edges, corners, and the whole nine yards.
We do not mean to disparage other Paramus concrete specialists. Our point is that the experience we have gained from being in business for so long in Paramus, New Jersey translates into experience for your Concrete work. Make one phone-call at (201) 228-1858 and you'll have a knowledgeable and professional Paramus concrete mason at your doorstep, ready to answer your questions and provide a free quote without any obligation.

This weekend, cyclists, pedestrians, and joggers will once again be able to access the Jersey Avenue footbridge, and the city has completed Phase I of construction on Berry Lane Park, one of two new municipal parks currently being built. Still, despite this progress, most residents would agree Jersey City could use more open space, bike paths, parks, passive recreation space, and similar amenities.
A plan to convert the old Morris Canal route into an urban greenway is in the works, but will need both money and community support to move it beyond its current draft phase.
At present, the city's greenway plan – which has been mapped out by the RBA Group in conjunction with the Division of City Planning – calls for an 8.5-mile, U-shaped, on- and off-road path that will eventually link the Hudson River Walkway, the Morris Canal Historic District, Mercer Park, Berry Lane Park, the planned Hackensack River Walkway, the West Side, and the East Coast Greenway, a contiguous 3,000-mile urban bike route that will eventually connect every state from Maine to Florida.
"We want to create a route that is off-road to the greatest extent possible, because one thing the city is lacking is dedicated bike/pedestrian space," said city planner Naomi Hsu. "The good news is a lot of [the canal route] has not been built on. But, as it is, it's not really available for recreational space right now. Some of it is privately owned. Some of it is along the West Side and is either adjacent to or underneath Route 440. So, it's not the most people-friendly space right now."
'The concept of the Morris Canal Greenway is to provide safe biking and pedestrian access to destinations all through the city.' – Annette Schutz
"This is the first time that anyone has looked at the entire route, the entire corridor, holistically," said Hsu.
New purpose of historic site
Since the 1980s there has been interest in Northern New Jersey in turning the old canal route into a greenway that would stretch from Jersey City to Phillipsburg, NJ.
"As far as Jersey City is concerned, the concept of the Morris Canal Greenway is to provide safe biking and pedestrian access to destinations all through the city," said Annette Schutz, principal planner with the RBA Group. "It's meant to be a resource for all the neighborhoods that it passes through. And it's an opportunity to familiarize people with Jersey City's history."
A 102-mile waterway that once connected the Hudson and Hackensack rivers that border Jersey City, the Morris Canal was once an important commercial route, according to New Jersey state records. The canal actually extended beyond Jersey City into 35 other New Jersey municipalities, allowing boats to deliver such items as coal, iron, and other goods throughout the northern part of the state. The canal, which opened in 1831, was originally built to bring coal into New Jersey from Pennsylvania coalmines to be used in Jersey-based iron mills. Later, coal was shipped in to be used for heating purposes.
The canal is also considered to be part of the Underground Railroad since abolitionists sometimes used coal boats to transport former slaves to safe havens. (This legacy of the canal is memorialized with a statue near the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail's Essex Street stop.)
The advent of railroads rendered the canal obsolete and the waterway was officially closed in 1924.
Getting there from here
As a way to get the greenway project closer to reality, RBA has suggested that community groups with an interest in open space and environmental issues advocate for it as a part of their ongoing work, an idea that at least some community advocates support.
"I am curious about what funding might be available to support something like this," Charlene Burke, president of the Jersey City Parks Coalition, said recently. "But it's a great idea and creating an urban greenway in Jersey City would be wonderful. Urban greenways have been created elsewhere, and they have become wonderful resources for the residents."
Dan Levin, another activist who has followed plans for the Morris Canal Greenway, said more people need to be made aware of it.
"It's a great concept," said Levin. "I think right now more people need to know about it and what it is for it to move forward from its concept phase. There are a lot of us downtown who have been following this for a while and we want to see it move forward. But we need to get out there and generate more interest from residents in other parts of the city who maybe aren't aware of what this concept is about."

PITTSBURGH, PA – The York College women's soccer team dropped a 3-1 decision to Carnegie Mellon in the second round of the Radisson Invitational on Sunday afternoon in Pittsburgh. The Spartans fall to 0-4 for the campaign while the Tartans improve to 2-2 for the year.
Carnegie Mellon struck early as they scored on their first shot of the game. Brittany Couture placed a cross in the center of the box where Brianna Magill headed the pass home, giving the hosts the 1-0 lead just 5:57 into the match.
The play evened out over the next 40 minutes as the Tartans took the 1-0 lead to the intermission. Both teams fired three first half shots while Carnegie Mellon had six corner kicks to none for the Spartans.
York had the first quality chance of the second half as senior Stephanie Rice snapped a header that was saved by Tartan goalie Anna Albi. After a second York shot, the Tartans got one shot and three corner kicks in the next five minutes. On the third corner, Carnegie Mellon got a loose ball in the box. Elsa Wu picked up the loose ball and converted a shot for a goal, giving the hosts the 2-0 lead. The goal was Wu's second of the year and came at the 61:47 mark.
The Green and White continued to battle despite the two-goal deficit. The Spartans finally found the back of the net in the 78th minute as junior Jordan Snook fired an initial shot that was saved by Albi. The carom came right back to Snook who drilled the ball home, trimming the Spartan deficit to 2-1. Her goal was her first Spartan goal and was York's first tally of the year.
Carnegie Mellon got an insurance goal with 32 seconds left in regulation as Rachel Contopoulos scored her second goal of the year on a 20-yard shot to the upper 90.
The Tartans outshot the Spartans 10-8 in overall shots and 7-5 in shots on goal. CMU registered a large 14-2 advantage in corner kicks while both teams had four fouls.
Senior Sarah Spanarkel had four saves for York while Albi also had four stops in the win for CMU.
The Spartans are now off until Saturday, September 17 when the Green and White travels to Stevenson for their 2011 Capital Athletic Conference opener. Game time is set for 4:30 pm from Owings Mills, MD.

The first thing you notice when you wake up in Port-au-Prince is the smoke. Your eyes sting, and it feels as though you've had a smoky cloth held over your mouth all night from the Haitians' cooking fires. I half expect to wake up next to a campfire in my tent, not in a major city.
The streets of Port-au-Prince are a zigzagging labyrinth that all look the same to me, and I can't understand how everyone isn't permanently lost. The streets are steep like San Francisco, and so potholed that you practically have to have a truck or SUV to buck up and down and over the broken cobblestones.
Women in tank tops carry baskets of fruit on their heads, while others squat roadside frying plantains for passers-by.
Tap taps, the main transportation through the city, spill over with thin men in suits on their way to work. The tap taps are a chaos of color, pickup trucks painted in fuchsia and purple and green with pictures of famous singers and Jesus on them.
As our truck sits in traffic, a woman with blank eyes taps on the window with her hand held out.
We arrive in front of the white-barred gate of a Compassion-assisted child development center, that opens up to a wide courtyard filled with children playing basketball and running about.
The children spot my camera right away and timidly tap me on the shoulder, hoping to have their picture taken so they can see their faces on the screen. They smile and giggle until I raise the camera, when they suddenly stand up straight and compose themselves seriously for their photo shoot.
The courtyard is ringed by classes, and we smell cookies baking in the cooking class filled with teenage girls. They give us a plate to take home with us.
We poke our heads in various classes where some are learning sewing, some painting, and some are studying the Bible.
In the class of 3- to 5-year-olds, we greet the class, "Como ca va?" And 30 little voices shout back in unison: "Ca va bien, merci! Et vous?!"
I speak to the teacher of the painting class, who learned to paint in that very project. Now he makes occasional money selling his paintings on the street. He is meek and quiet and asks that I'll pray he can afford Bible school so he can become a pastor.
I talk to the project accountant, a tall, well-spoken man who asks for the prayer of the sponsors as he and the other project workers serve the children.
After disrupting several classes and giving an impromptu geography lesson, we leave with our plate of cookies. We bump back up and down the Port-au-Prince streets, and I'm frankly relieved to pull safely up to our clean hotel away from the noise and smells of the streets.
We have dinner at the hotel, looking down over the pool and tennis courts, surrounded by lush green overgrowth. I ask my Haitian friend if he likes it here, in Port-au-Prince, where he has grown up. He shakes his head no. Although it is home, he would rather be elsewhere, like the millions of the Haitian diaspora.
And yet, he stays. I've grown to admire these people who believe in and love their country, even when it would seem so tempting to desert in a situation so hard. Yet each day, they get up and choose to try to be a part of changing their country by serving the children and giving them hope for a different future.

This project scientifically explores why some people live such charmed lives, and develops techniques that enable others to enhance their own good fortune. The research has involved working with hundreds of exceptionally lucky and unlucky people, and the findings have been published in The Luck Factor. For an overview of this work, download this article from Skeptical Inquirer magazine.
The Four Principles
Prof Wiseman has identified the four basic principles that lucky
people use to create good fortune in their lives.
Principle One: Maximise Chance Opportunities
Lucky people are skilled at creating, noticing and acting upon chance opportunities. They do this in various ways, including networking, adopting a relaxed attitude to life and by being open to new experiences.
Principle Two: Listening to Lucky Hunches
Lucky people make effective decisions by listening to their intuition and gut feelings. In addition, they take steps to actively boost their intuitive abilities by, for example, meditating and clearing their mind of other thoughts.
Principle Three: Expect Good Fortune
Lucky people are certain that the future is going to be full of good fortune. These expectations become self-fulfilling prophecies by helping lucky people persist in the face of failure, and shape their interactions with others in a positive way.
Principle Four: Turn Bad Luck to Good
Lucky people employ various psychological techniques to cope with, and often even thrive upon, the ill fortune that comes their way. For example, they spontaneously imagine how things could have been worse, do not dwell on ill fortune, and take control of the situation.
Luck School
Prof Wiseman's work also involves developing techniques that help people think and behave like a lucky person. The efficacy of these techniques has been scientifically tested in a series of experiments referred to as 'luck school'. The project has proved highly successful, with almost all participants reporting significant life changes, including increased levels of luck, self-esteem, confidence and success.

In February, the Giants cut linebacker Michael Boley. Three days later, he pleaded guilty to felony child abuse in Alabama.
For the team, there was no connection between the two incidents.
Per a source with knowledge of the situation, the Giants were not aware of the situation when cutting Boley, who was due to earn a base salary of $4.25 million.
Of course, the Giants and every other team now know about it, which could make it harder for him to find a job. Especially if he failed to inform the NFL of the situation at any point before it became public.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
A little-known member of the Disney family has publicly stated that she will renounce all personal profits from her family's investment in Israeli skin care product company AHAVA on the basis that it operates on "occupied territory."
Abigail Disney, granddaughter of Walt Disney Company co-founder Roy Disney, said in a statement released last month that she would henceforth donate all profits she receives from Disney investments in AHAVA to causes aimed at ending the so-called "Israeli occupation."
She referred to the production of AHAVA products at Mitzpe Shalem, a Jewish settlement situated in Judea just two miles from the Dead Sea, as "illegal exploitation" due to the fact that the Palestinian Arabs claim all of Judea and Samaria as their future state.
"I cannot in good conscience profit from what is technically the 'plunder' or 'pillage' of occupied natural resources," said Disney.
The Disney family's Shamrock Holdings Inc. owns 18.5 percent of AHAVA, and has invested another $400 million in other Israeli companies.

Anemia is a common blood disorder. It occurs when you have fewer red blood cells than normal, or not enough hemoglobin in your blood. Hemoglobin is the iron-rich protein in red blood cells. It carries oxygen from your lungs to all parts of your body.
When you have anemia, your blood can't carry enough oxygen to your body. Without enough oxygen, your body can't work as well as it should.
There are several different types of anemia. Each has its own cause and treatment. They include:
Anemia is often a symptom of another disease. Anemia usually occurs when you have:
Anemia may often be caused by several problems, including:
Anyone can get anemia. But it is more common in women of childbearing age. It's also more common during pregnancy, infancy, and in older adults. Risk factors include:
Most anemia symptoms occur because of less oxygen getting to the body's cells and tissues (hypoxia). The hemoglobin in red blood cells carries oxygen. So having fewer red blood cells leads to hypoxia. If you have mild anemia, you may not have many symptoms.
Each person's symptoms will vary. Symptoms may include:
Anemia symptoms may look like other blood disorders or health problems. Anemia is often a symptom linked to another disease. So be sure your healthcare provider knows about symptoms you may have. Always see your provider for a diagnosis.
Your healthcare provider may think you have anemia based on your symptoms, medical history, and a physical exam. Anemia is usually confirmed using blood tests. These tests check your hemoglobin level and your red blood cell count.
You may have additional tests such as:
Your healthcare provider will create a care plan based on:
Treatment may include:
Mild anemia may cause no problems. But if your body's organs doesn't get enough oxygen, you may have organ damage. The heart can be damaged by the increased stress of pumping faster. It can also be damaged by working too hard to carry oxygen to the body. In some cases, the underlying cause of the anemia may be deadly.
Preventing anemia includes eating a well-balanced diet with iron-rich foods. It also includes managing any lifelong (chronic) or underlying conditions that may be causing the anemia. For young women and women with heavy menstrual periods, using birth control medicines may help manage anemia.
Some types of anemia can't be cured, such as sickle cell anemia. Work with your healthcare provider to make a treatment plan that can reduce the effects of these diseases.

Your Christmas newsletter in Google Docs is now being proofread by NSA contractors
It should come as no surprise that encryption has become a very topical news item which has been appearing with increasing frequency. Yesterday the Washington Post revealed exactly what was going on by publishing these news stories:
- NSA infiltrates links to Yahoo, Google data centers worldwide, Snowden documents say
- The NSA is infiltrating private networks
- NSA fires back at Washington Post report
The opening line of the first news report says it all:
The National Security Agency has secretly broken into the main communications links that connect Yahoo and Google data centers around the world, according to documents obtained from former NSA contractor Edward Snowden and interviews with knowledgeable officials.
One of the more interesting tidbits from the Washington Post's story was this item:
In an NSA presentation slide on "Google Cloud Exploitation," however, a sketch shows where the "Public Internet" meets the internal "Google Cloud" where their data reside. In hand-printed letters, the drawing notes that encryption is "added and removed here!" The artist adds a smiley face, a cheeky celebration of victory over Google security.
Two engineers with close ties to Google exploded in profanity when they saw the drawing. "I hope you publish this," one of them said.
The question becomes what did Google know and when did they know it. Fortunately the news reports establish a chronology for the events describe by the Washington Post. On or about 2013-09-06 stories began to appear that Google had embarked on an extensive effort to encrypt all the data passing between its datacenters worldwide but there were not too many details as to why other than a distrust of the NSA. Apparently Google had become aware that their networks had been hacked in early September based on these stories which suddenly began to appear about that date.
- Google encrypts data amid backlash against NSA spying
- Circumventing Encryption Frees NSA to Access Web Data without Bothering Service Providers
- NSA's Decade-Long Plan to Undermine Encryption Includes Backdoors, Stolen Keys, Manipulating Standards
- Google accelerates encryption project
- Google speeding up end-to-end crypto between data centers worldwide
- Google scrambles to block backdoors
This was a joint project between the governments of the United States and Great Britain and is clearly illegal under the laws of both nations. This makes Watergate look like a Sunday Social. Clearly corporations need to expand their security perimeters into areas which were previously believed to be secure. All data in motion must be encrypted, even on internal networks!
