The economy actually SHRANK 2.9% in the first quarter, a far cry from the previously announced 1%. Cooking the books has become habit these days up there in ol' D period C period.
Do you want to go the way of Greece? All right then.

Want to protect your data on your phone? You need a password. People can crack passwords, however, so if you want to be extra safe you need to wipe the data from your phone after they fail to enter your password correctly too many times. 10 times, in fact. Jump into Settings -> General -> Passcode Lock to find and option called Erase Data all the way at the bottom. If you enable it, your phone will wipe itself out if someone tries to access it and fails 10 times.

This is from the iPhone User Guide:

Erase data after ten failed passcode attempts. Go to Settings > General > Passcode & Fingerprint (iPhone 5s) or Settings > General > Passcode Lock (other models), then tap Erase Data. After ten failed passcode attempts, all settings are reset, and all your information and media are erased by removing the encryption key to the data.

Did you see the World Cup guy, bite his opponent!?!

A whole new slant on back biting. He ran up behind just as the ball was getting there and bites the guy on the back of his shoulder. OUCH!

The guy responds exactly as I would. Left elbow to left temple.

Boom. He goes DOWN. :)

And he is ejected from play. Pretty cool game, I'm thinking, now.

You sure got that all wrong.

He was not ejected. In fact he was never even penalized during the game. The refs claimed not to have seen anything and the game played on.

The ball was nowhere near him.

He was not knocked down by being hit in the temple. The elbow went over the top of his head. He fell to the ground and ACTED as if the other player hit him in the mouth with his shoulder. When he fell to the ground clutching his face he was FAKING it.

FIFA has since reviewed the replays and have decided to penalize him. He could be banned for some time.

You should really check your sources. ;)

NY Times: A New Christie Bridge Scandal


I think this is new but I haven't checked the site until now and don't see it.....

According to the NY Times, the Christie administration is the target of a new investigation being conducted in parallel by the Manhattan district attorney and the SEC. This investigation involves the Pulaski Skyway. You may recall that Christie diverted the Port Authority money that had been designated for the Hudson River tunnel toward repairs on Pulaski. The problem is, that bridge isn't one controlled by the Port Authority and therefore it's improper to use those funds on it. Even Port Authority lawyers told Christie this. What did Christie do? Just call the project: “Lincoln Tunnel Access Infrastructure Improvements.” Of course the Pulaski Skyway doesn't connect to the Lincoln Tunnel but what the hell, close enough right?

No. The repairs should have been funded entirely by NJ and not by Port Authority funds. Here's the problem for Christie:

Under a New York State law known as the Martin Act, prosecutors can bring felony charges for intentionally deceiving bond holders, without having to prove any intent to defraud or even establish that any fraud occurred. So where is the investigation at this point?
Among those who have received subpoenas from Mr. Vance’s office is Jeffrey Chiesa, a close friend of Mr. Christie’s for more than two decades who has served as New Jersey’s attorney general and as a United States senator. He was the governor’s chief counsel in 2011 when the authority’s lawyers amended the funding resolution with what critics have said was a questionable legal justification. A person familiar with that subpoena said Mr. Chiesa was not a target of the investigation. Chiesa may not be the target of the investigation but I think I have an idea who is.

Sure it connects. Hell, my driveway connects to the Lincoln tunnel!!
