The leaders of U.S. congressional intelligence committees said they want to probe the intentional abuses of surveillance authority committed by some National Security Agency analysts in the past decade.

“I am reviewing each of these incidents in detail,” Dianne Feinstein, a California Democrat and chairman of the Senate intelligence panel, said in a statement, after the NSA confirmed to Bloomberg News yesterday that some analysts deliberately ignored restrictions on their authority to spy on Americans.
“Any case of noncompliance is unacceptable, but these small numbers of cases do not change my view that NSA takes significant care to prevent any abuses and that there is a substantial oversight system in place,” Feinstein said.
The incidents, chronicled by the NSA’s inspector general, provide additional evidence that U.S. intelligence agencies sometimes have violated the legal and administrative restrictions on domestic spying, and may add to the pressure to bolster laws that govern intelligence activities.

which he attacked from the back, from the sea .

US defence secretary says his department is providing Barack Obama with 'options for all contingencies'

The US defence secretary, Chuck Hagel, strongly suggested on Friday the United States was positioning naval forces and assets in anticipation of any decision by President Barack Obama to order military action against Syria after apparent chemical weapons use.
Hagel's comments to reporters traveling with him to Malaysia came after a defence official said the Navy would expand its presence in the Mediterranean with a fourth cruise-missile armed warship because of the escalating civil war in Syria.

富邦人壽 蠢到爆炸── 富邦退出實體百貨 環亞店、信義店由微風廣場接手

花了一百億台幣
經過三年冒險的轉業投資經營
終於認賠退出

在台灣 要成功經營百貨業
只有日系百貨最成功
如太平洋SOGO或新光三越
其他自營摸索的 
都只有在後苦苦追趕
因為沒那個經營團隊與經營文化

在新光三越最早開幕前一個月
去到他們文化會館負責的承辦小姐接洽
居然拿出厚厚一大本行事曆
詳細記載已經排到隔年的活動表
可見日系企業行事之追求長遠規劃
絕非虛構

買劉黎兒關鍵字推核安 廠商：去問經濟部

還真是夠大膽無恥
這是典型的打著紅旗反紅旗
利用反核高知名度(知名人士)來推廣擁核
還真是奇特卑鄙可惡到當事人氣急敗壞

因為反核風潮風起雲湧勢不可擋
於是擁核的官方甚至要借用他們來宣導了嗎
這是棄械投降
還是流氓手段?

CAPABLE of travelling faster than the speed of sound, the 'hyperloop' could soon become the 'fifth mode of transport' if the dreams of its billionaire creator come true. 

Reaching speeds of more than 1102 kilometres per hour, and described as "a cross between a Concorde, a railgun, and an air-hockey table", the hyperloop could get you to your destination in half the time of the average plane.

On Thursday, President Barack Obama met with Tim Cook and other tech executives from companies like Google and AT&T to discuss government surveillance, 

Civil liberties leaders were also at the closed-door meeting. The White House declined to comment about the details of the meeting, and all the attendees also declined to comment to Politico about any specifics. However, a White House aide did tell Politico:

"This is one of a number of discussions the administration is having with experts and stakeholders in response to the president's directive to have a national dialogue about how to best protect privacy in a digital era, including how to respect privacy while defending our national security."

Thief caught after he ‘steals stretch of road’

Monday 5 Aug 2013 4:59 pm 

metro.co.uk

Thieves normally steal objects that are easy to transport so it might have come as a surprise when one criminal reportedly made off with a whole stretch of road.
Just as confusing was the fact that no-one seemingly noticed part of the Russian highway had gone until the man had dismantled a large portion of it and removed 82 slabs of concrete.
The only possible explanations for this were he was either very quick when he made his getaway in the republic of Komi, or the place was deserted.
The street pieces were apparently loaded on to three large trucks after being chiselled off by a machine thought to be an industrial manipulator (a combined forklift and bulldozer).
The vehicles were later stopped by police.
