How to encrypt your email and other lessons learned in a Cryptoparty (VIDEO)

From Edward Snowden retired curtain in cyberspying of the national security agency, there has been an improvement in "cryptoparties", where experts offer guidance on keeping private online communications.

Josh Zepps of HuffPost Live spoken with some technology specialists to get the scoop of what exactly happens at these parties. According to Brian Penny, a blogger at Brnetten, is an opportunity for inexperienced Web users learn easy ways to protect themselves with techniques such as encrypt e-mail messages.

"It is for people to know that when you're sending a normal email, it is the equivalent of sending a postcard by mail - no one can see what is there", said. "But when you use a... encryption, it's like putting the postcard in an envelope and sealing it so no one can see it except you and the recipient".

Cryptoparties typically also advocates measures like using online chat applications unofficially and leveraging networks such as Tor, which lets users browse the Internet anonymously.

Dormideros de gallo azul gigante en la Plaza Trafalgar de Londres

London (AFP) - a huge blue Rooster descended on the Trafalgar Square in London on Thursday, but the work of art has ruffle feathers by placing the symbol of France on a site marked a famous British victory over Napoleon.

4.7 Meters (15.5 feet) in height and foot colors lived overseas, the fiberglass Rooster blue was carved by the German artist Katharina Fritsch and monitor the famous square for 18 months.

Entitled Hahn/cock, was officially launched by Mayor Boris Johnson Londres, who said that he would abstain from making any "double meanings" rude about the erection of a giant cock at the monument in London.

"I had a brilliant artist, Katharina, emergency meeting," joked.

"She said it was all related to the interpretation of a woman of a man... or something. I think that it is one of those occasions where politicians have to resist any kind of artistic interpretation."

It is the latest work of art to Ponte tourist hotspot "fourth plinth".

Fritsch, 57, said she didn't know the Rooster was a French non-official symbol, and that she sought to represent the strength and regeneration.

"But is a good humorous side effect to have some French in a place that celebrates victory over Napoleon", said The Guardian newspaper, adding: "It has become like a cock!"

Trafalgar Square is named after the victory of the British Royal Navy on the French and the Spanish fleets at the battle of Trafalgar in 1805, a conflict is key in the Napoleonic wars.

The Rooster will be located on the other side of the square of the column of Nelson, a monument that commemorates the English naval hero Admiral Horatio Nelson, who was killed during the battle.

A group of conservationists had tried to get bird forbade the square, saying that it was "completely inappropriate, however fanciful and dramatic might seem".

There are four sockets of large stones in each corner of the Trafalgar Square, three of whom have statues. The fourth was to hold a statue of a horse in 1841, but due to insufficient funds was never completed.

Since 1998 the fourth plinth has been used to display temporary art pieces and so far has been host of artworks, including a giant ship in a bottle and a huge nude statue of the English artist Alison Lapper, who was born without arms, during her pregnancy.

Paul Rand: nobody in Congress 'has a strong belief in the rights of minorities that I do'

Senator Rand Paul (R - KY) is pushing with efforts at the Republican voters black and Hispanic, stating in an interview that Yahoo News not "believes there is someone in the Congress, which has a strong belief in the rights of minorities to me."

Reviews were given as a result of the controversy in the lathe to Assistant of Senator Jack Hunter, who resigned last week. Hunter, co-author of the book from Paul The Tea Party Goes to Washington, was attacked by its last radio commentary supporting the ideology neo-Confederate and denouncing the possibility of "a majority of non-whites in America".

Paul has addressed this controversy front, defending the Hunter as reflection and a talented writer whose previous work was designed to shock political.

"If I thought it was a white supremacist, he would be dismissed immediately," Paul told The Huffington Post earlier this month. "We will not tolerate, and I have not seen any evidence of that."

During an appearance at the University historically black Howard University earlier this year, Paul described his efforts to revamp the image of the Republicans to make it more appealing to minority voters.

"Frankly, it's an uphill battle, to try to convince him that we have not changed," said Howard students, referring to the older history of the Republican party as a defender of civil rights. "But that's part of me."

Paul, recognizing the scope of such an enterprise, is optimistic about his chances for points in common between the Republicans and minority communities.

"[The image of Republicans is] not something to change overnight, so I'm not realistic," the Senator said that Yahoo News. "If you were to poll American Africans only on issues without party, you'll find that they are actually sympathetic to Republican problems on many fronts [social]."

While critics often point out the ambivalence he expressed in an interview Louisville Courier-Journal's 2010 on whether he would have voted for the 1964 Civil Rights Act, Paul posture against the imprisonment for non-violent drug offences has gained favour with civil rights groups.

"Many African Americans, particularly young men, make mistakes like children and I do not think that they should be punished for the rest of their lives," he said, referring to mandatory minimum penalties for non-violent drug offences.

At the beginning of this year, Paul, and Senator Patrick Leahy (D - VT) presented a draft law that give judges more flexibility to cancel those minimums and dictate sentences more appropriate.

House Republicans shifted right by primaries

WASHINGTON - House Republicans feel increased pressure to head firmly on the issues, thanks to changes in the policy of the primary election that is complicating the ability of Congress to solve large problems.

Independent research supports the belief of these lawmakers they owe their jobs to more conservative activists, and is more secure that never turn right on many issues, instead of seeking compromise with the Democrats.

On the other hand, the Democrats of the House facing an electorate leaning more liberal in their own primaries. But the trend is less dramatic for the Democrats, whose supporters are more open to compromise to help government work, polls show. And Republican control of the House makes more consistent dynamic GOP.

The recent struggles of the House to handle routine tasks once - such as passing a bipartisan bill in the farm and raise the federal debt limit - in part come from the millions of Republican primary voters who elect representatives with severe warnings not to compromise with the Democrats. It is also one reason that efforts to rewrite immigration laws in the nation face problems in the House, where Republicans quickly dismissed the Senate's bipartisan approach.

In interviews, House Republicans often cite concerns about a possible challenge from the right in their next primary. Many of them represent Republican districts so strongly that it is almost impossible for the party's candidate to lose a general election to a Democrat. Also, these lawmakers say, it is very unlikely that a moderate Republican can wrest the nomination from an incumbent conservative party.

"There are a lot of moderate Republicans who participate in primaries in a conservative district," said representative Kenny Marchant, r-Texas.

That leaves many Republicans of the House with the only requirement to ensure his re-election: never give a room pretty conservative hard-charging right to mount a viable challenge in the primary.

In practice, the task does not seem so difficult. Only six Republican House lost primaries of his re-election last year. Half of them fell to fellow holders in districts redrawn forcing two colleagues who oppose each other. The other three lost to rivals with strong tea party support.

Loss of the Deputy Jean Schmidt was instructive. A conservative by almost any measure, the Ohioan three periods was attacked however to vote to raise the federal debt ceiling and give a kiss on the cheek to President Barack Obama as the House by its 2012 of the direction of the Union State.

Memories of what happened to Schmidt--and for veteran Republican senators like Bob Bennett and Richard Lugar, who also lost the primary to tea party-backed rivals--will rise several times in political debates, House of extradition. Republican legislators regularly take the temperature of conservative activists in their districts, which are crucial in the primary elections, which often attract modest turnouts.

"The members of the House are better in the reading of their districts than anyone else," said Republican lobbyist and pollster Mike McKenna.

McKenna said that it is not unusual to discuss immigration reform with Republicans House that says, "I'm getting e-mails from people who voted in the primaries. "" They say ' I don't care what the Farm Bureau, say I hate these things. ""

Representative John Fleming, R - LA, tracks such e-mails and phone calls. He said that his Office recently received 80 calls about immigration, "and all of them were against Senate Bill."

The Senate Bill would create a path to citizenship - or what many conservatives call "Amnesty" - for millions of immigrants living here illegally. Fleming, you wondered if he is always concerned about going too far for the Republican party primary voters in his district, said: "What is the chance that a moderate Republican coming in and saying, 'Oh, I'm for amnesty'?"

Marchant, the Congressman from Texas, said that it is a permanent conservative seen by voters the Republican party in his district oeste-Dallas primary lean more and more to the right. Tea partiers once voted for the nominees of the libertarian party, said, they are now full-fledged Republicans.

"The Republican mainstream, as a result, have become more conservative," said Marchant. The tea party activists, he said, "found that they could enter the Republican primary and make a real difference."

The representative of the Republican party, Howard Coble, chosen by 15 of central North Carolina, data change in the behavior of primary voters in the middle of the 1990s. Conservative groups, said, "were challenging Bob Dole for not being sufficiently pure."

"That opened the doors to primary races" against Republican incumbents, said Coble.

Surveys of voters support the view that Republican voters are becoming more conservative.

On average, from 1976 to 1990, 47 per cent of the people who voted Republican in House races were considered to be conservative, according to exit polls. A slightly smaller participation had called moderate politicians.

During Clinton presidency - which includes bruising fights over the care of health, gun control, taxes and the uprising began his impeachment - Republican conservatism. From 1992 to 2006, the voters of the Republican party were on average 52% conservative and moderate 41 percent.

And in the most recent elections for the House, 2008-2012, more than 6 in 10 voters who supported a candidate of the party Republican described as conservative. Approximately one-third called themselves moderate.

Meanwhile, those who vote for the Democrats in the House more Liberals have become. But self-proclaimed Liberals understand still less than half of that group. In the years pre-Clinton, 25 per cent is considered to be liberal; on average 33% did so from 1992 to 2006; and it stands at 40 percent in the last three elections.

Michael Dimock, which tracks these trends by the Pew Research Center, said several years ago, there was a noticeable difference between social conservatives and business conservatives of the Republican party. Today, he said, are more Republican voters unified - and solidly conservative.

"The socially conservative right has adopted that you principle anti-Government, pequeno-gobierno and consolidates to a large extent", said Dimock.

House Speaker John Boehner, r-Ohio, put a positive spin on Sunday in what many see as the paralysis of Congress.

"We should not will be judged by how many new laws that we created," Boehner said on CBS "face the nation". "We should be judged on how many laws repeal".

Birthday of Edward Hopper: The iconic American painter would 131 today (photos)

In honor of the birthday of Edward Hopper, a post originally published the year we are reviewing past honor the life and work of the artist.

Today is the birthday of the painter and engraver Edward Hopper. The artist who created the "Nighthawks", one of the best-known American paintings, would make the 131 if he were miraculously alive today.

"Nighthawks", 1932

Hopper was born in Nyack, New York to a strict Baptist family. It is said that they have developed a talent for drawing at the age of five years, as well as a love of French and Russian culture. Encouraged by his parents, the young artist explored the media pen, charcoal, watercolour and oil, that they represent scenes of nature, as well as create their own humor political cartoons. Around the age of 18 years, he moved his conservative home on the Hudson River to study at the Institute of New York's Art Design, where he began to work with models live and paint in the style of Edouard Manet and Edgar Degas.

In 1905, Hopper began working for an advertising agency to earn money, covers magazines of design despite his dislike for the illustrations. It was during this time that he was able to travel to Europe to study artists like Rembrandt and Impressionists. Briefly inspired by the soft blades of the French painters, hopper finally settled in the scheme of dark color that would be known, painting urban scenes of street crowds and cafes through the dark lens of signature. After returning from abroad, hopper reluctantly continued to work on the illustrations, and it was not until 1913 that was able to sell his first picture, "Sailing", at the Armory Show in New York.

Hopper turned to engraving urban scenes of Paris and New York while living in Greenwich Village. In 1923, met his future wife Josephine Nivison, the woman who would serve as his manager, primary model and companion of a lifetime. From there, he began his career at foot, showing the newly created oil paintings and engravings throughout New York.

"Night train", 1918

After a brief period of inactivity during the late 1940s, hopper continued to create works throughout the next two decades, focusing on American issues par excellence such as railways, gas stations, motels and restaurants. Hopper lived through a series of artistic movements in the United States, but his style remained constant, incorporating saturated colors and higher contrast to create dark, cinematic moods of film noir. It should not be a surprise, then, Alfred Hitchcock and Sam Mendes cited frequently as an influence.

On May 15, 1967, Hopper died in his Studio near Washington Square in New York, followed soon by his devoted wife ten months later. His body of work was donated in the Whitney Museum of American Art, with some famous parts find permanent homes at the Museum of modern art in New York, The Des Moines Art Center and the Art Institute of Chicago.

'Guardians Of The Galaxy' At Comic-Con: Zoe Saldana Says She's Happy To Go Green For Alien Role

"Guardians of the Galaxy" at Comic-Con: Zoe Saldana shines.

SAN DIEGO — How many more colors can Zoe Saldana be on the big screen?

"Well, the rainbow has a lot of colors," Saldana said in an interview at Comic-Con, laughing. "I dig it. I like being in space. I get to play less girlfriends, more female parts, more women. So I find it meaty."

The actress portrays green-skinned alien Gamora in Marvel's "Guardians of the Galaxy" after going blue in James Cameron's "Avatar," a role she's expected to return to for sequels. And she recently reprised her other space-bound character, Uhura, in JJ Abrams' "Star Trek Into Darkness."

"It's a testament to how creative the people that conceive supernatural and science-fiction kind of stories," Saldana, 35, said of her love for the genre. "They're able to build something out of nothing by just imagining it. I have a huge fascination with that. Filmmakers like JJ, like ("Guardians" director) James (Gunn), like James Cameron. ... You need to be really, really special to do that. So I like being with special people."

Chris Pratt is among Saldana's co-stars in "Guardians," which had been filming for just a few weeks in the U.K. before its actors dropped in to show fans footage at Comic-Con.

Pratt plays Peter Quill, an interplanetary gunslinger known as Star-Lord who assembles a team of aliens to do battle. His character's wit and rebellious spirit has been compared to another planet-hopper, Han Solo.

"You can make the comparison, that's for sure," Pratt said, acknowledging that like "Star Wars," `'Guardians" – set for release next summer – is "a big space opera."

Saldana was more emphatic: "It's an awesome comparison. Are you kidding me? Harrison Ford!"

But Pratt, 34, said he has more pressing concerns as he returns to set.

"I just feel like, I'm hoping every day that they're not going to fire me," he said. "I'm like, `So you saw dailies yesterday and I still have my job?' They say `Yeah!' So for now I do."

Kevyn Orr, Director of emergency of Detroit, Governor Rick Snyder defend bankruptcy Sunday Talk Shows

DETROIT - it was not easy to make Detroit the largest city in United States to apply for bankruptcy protection, but it was the right decision, said Sunday as the Rick Snyder Michigan Governor, Mayor of the city and his emergency Manager made the rounds of talk television show.

Snyder, a Republican, gave his blessing to the decision of the Manager emergency Kevyn Orr in bankruptcy for Detroit on Thursday.

"We review every other viable option," Snyder said on the CBS "face the nation".

"The debt issue needs to be addressed. But more important still is accountability to the citizens of Detroit, "said Snyder. "That you are not getting the services that they deserve and have not done so for a very long time. Thus this may has been cast down the road for decades. It is already enough and now is the time to give it back. "

On NBC's "Meet the Press," Snyder said that if Detroit restructuring is successful, the city could roar back stronger than before.

"We will now in the improvement of Detroit," he added.

The State hired Orr in March to arrange debt ballooning of Detroit and more than $300 million budget deficit. He is a specialist of twist and automotive Chrysler LLC during its successful restructuring.

Orr outlined its plans at a June meeting with the holders of the debt, in which his team warned there was present a 50% chance of a bankruptcy. The city then stopped paying $2.5 billion in unsecured debt to "preserve cash" for the police, fire and other services.

Orr said of Detroit's long-term debt could be as much as $20 billion.

In the last six decades, the population of Detroit has dropped from 1.8 million to about 700,000. The city boasts some 10,000 public workers active and retired 18,000 still owing to pension and health benefits.

The costs of health care and pension contributions over the years have exceeded revenues that Detroit was bringing property and business taxes and other sources. The city has been unable to make these contributions and pay current payroll and other accounts.

Funds that cover health coverage for retirees are underfunded by about $5.7 billion. To cover pension obligations are underfunded by $3.5 billion.

"We will have a dialogue with the pension funds on what we can do," said Orr to "Fox News Sunday."

"And all we are talking about in this restructuring is the non-consolidated component of pension funds", said. "There must be concessions."

Bing, a first mayor mandate that announced earlier this year that he would not seek re-election in the fall, has been opposed to bankruptcy and State supervision. On Sunday, he told ABC "This Week" that expected that the presentation can be a new beginning for the city.

"Detroit is very, very resilient people," said Bing, a professional Basketball Hall of Fame who spent most of his career with the Detroit Pistons of the NBA. "Detroit is a very iconic city in the world. His people will fight for this and we will return."

But he does not expect much, if any, support in the way of the money from the bailout from the federal Government.

"Now that the (bankruptcy) is made, we need to step back and see what follows," said Bing. "The President has a lot on his plate. More than 100 urban cities are struggling and going through this. That we might be the first and one of the largest, but it won't be the last. "

Private Banks Spend Millions Every Year To Weed Out Criminals, Tax Cheats

* Wealth managers' profit growth suffers as costs soar

* As much as 100 hours of due diligence commonplace

* Number of client rejections on the rise

By Sinead Cruise and Chris Vellacott

LONDON, July 22 (Reuters) - Private banks managing the financial affairs of the world's wealthy face spending millions of dollars every year on vetting new clients, as regulators get tough on banks that harbour tax cheats and money launderers.

While the world's rich are getting wealthier and putting more money into private banks, a growing proportion of the cash is from geo-political troublespots in the Middle East and Asia.

That is leading the banks, mostly based in Europe and the United States, to spend hundreds of hours on costly checks aimed at meeting regulators' demands to root out bad clients, eating into their profit margins.

Paul Kearney, head of Kleinwort Benson's private investment office, said his team incurs between 5,000 and 25,000 pounds ($7,600-$37,800) of costs in vetting each new client, depending on the background intelligence required and the jurisdiction in which the research is undertaken.

"Currently the international client base is the faster growing so we would expect our costs to increase in the next 12-24 months," he said, adding costs could equate to up to 10 percent of the first year's earnings from that account.

Some in the industry question whether all the effort will make much difference.

One London-based lawyer specialising in super rich clients, whose firm rejected one customer who turned out to be selling restored Soviet military hardware in the Middle East, said sophisticated criminals would always be hard to identify.

"If someone wants to get through the process and they are an inappropriate person, they will almost certainly have the necessary documentation and a front to get themselves through," he said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

But with regulators cracking down on banks, and plans to prosecute individuals as well as their employers currently being discussed in some countries, more money managers feel they have to invest some of their profits in trying to reduce their risks.

"It is expensive, that is true, but you cannot think of it as it once was, because you cannot go back in time," said George King, head of portfolio strategy at Royal Bank of Canada's private banking arm, of the tougher vetting process.

"The burden for not doing it well or incorrectly, in terms of reputational risk or fines is both enormous and growing."

Top banks, including HSBC, have paid huge fines to U.S. lawmakers to make amends for unwittingly laundering Mexican drug money, while Britain's Financial Conduct Authority has fined three banks, including RBS's Coutts, for lax money laundering controls since its crackdown gathered pace in 2012.

FINANCIAL STRAIN

Increased vetting costs come on top of rising administrative and regulatory expenses that have already made the competitive business of wealth management much less lucrative for banks.

Data from the 2013 World Wealth Report compiled by RBC Wealth Management and Capgemini shows the investable wealth of the world's so-called "high net worth" individuals rose by 10 percent to a record $46.2 trillion in 2012, after dropping 1.7 percent in 2011.

The flow of money into the $18.5 trillion global wealth management sector increased 23.7 percent in 2012, reversing a 27.9 percent outflow in 2011. However, average pretax profit growth was 5.3 percent in 2012, down from 12.3 percent in 2011, with high costs blamed for the dip, consultancy Scorpio Partnership said.

The cost of complying with regulation will continue to rise, according to PwC's annual Global Private Banking and Wealth Management Survey, published last month.

Respondents said they expected risk and regulatory compliance expenses to account for seven percent of annual revenue in two years, up from five percent today. Participants from the Americas are bracing for even higher costs - roughly equivalent to nine percent of revenues in the next two years.

"The ability to understand and manage the avalanche of regulatory and risk issues ... will likely require private banks to continue investing heavily," said Justin Ong, Asia Pacific leader in PwC's global private banking arm.

Some banks have even resorted to rejecting accounts that are too small, risky or labour-intensive to turn a profit from.

"It is worth noting that the costs of the enhanced due diligence process may be incurred with the end result being a decision not to engage with the prospective client," Kleinwort Benson's Kearney said.

For some in the industry, though, the battle against criminals comes down to a mix of experience and instinct.

"You have to be very confident of the origins of the funds you are dealing with. If not, it's very simple, you have to walk away," said Rupert Robinson, CEO of Signia Private Wealth.

"You can do due diligence on a prospect to the 'n'th degree and you might be able to find evidence of some bad behaviour but it is almost impossible to uncover things like fraud. If you have any doubt, you just have to say no."

Familia de Frank Lee Smith instala pleito con la oficina del alguacil de Broward sobre exoneración de ADN

Frank Lee Smith died of cancer on death row, just months before DNA exonerated him of raping and murdering an 8-year-old girl in Fort Lauderdale. Now, more than 13 years later, his family's civil lawsuit against the Broward Sheriff's Office and two detectives accused of framing him has finally been settled.

Smith's death made him a national symbol because it was the first case in the U.S. that scientifically proved an innocent man had died in prison for a crime he didn't commit.

But the financial settlement reached with the Sheriff's Office -- on behalf of the agency and retired detectives Richard Scheff and Philip Amabile -- is much less than the millions awarded in Broward's other notorious wrongful conviction cases.

The civil suit was recently settled for just $340,000 -- including attorney fees and legal costs, lawyers Michael Wrubel and James Green told the Sun Sentinel. They filed the lawsuit on behalf of Smith's closest surviving relative, his half-sister Virginia Smith, of Sunrise.

Eight-year-old Shandra Whitehead was found unconscious in her Fort Lauderdale home in April 1985. The child was raped, beaten with a rock and left for dead, with her pajamas tied around her neck in an attempt to strangle her. She lingered for nine days without regaining consciousness before dying from the head injuries.

Smith vehemently denied he had anything to do with Shandra's horrific murder. His own mother was raped and murdered by an attacker who dumped her body in a Davie lake when Smith was in his teens.

Smith wept on the witness stand during the penalty phase of his trial, imploring jurors to believe he was innocent.

"For me to be turned around and be accused, the way I feel about a rape," he told them. "My mama was killed like this. ... How do you think I feel about a rapist, and beyond that a baby?"

Few people believed him, except the lawyers and their investigators who worked to save him in the 15 years he was locked up, and who continued to fight on his behalf after he died of pancreatic cancer in 2000, at the age of 52.

Scheff and Amabile considered and then ignored a more likely suspect: serial killer Eddie Lee Mosley, who was known in the northwest Fort Lauderdale neighborhood as "the Rape Man" at the time. Mosley's sexual assaults were so widely known that parents warned their daughters to avoid the severely mentally challenged man if possible.

Mosley was related to Shandra -- her mother was his cousin. And an artist's sketch of the murder suspect, based on witness accounts, bore a striking resemblance to Mosley, including his droopy eye.

In the civil lawsuit, now-retired detectives Scheff and Amabile were accused of framing Smith in 1985 and pressuring witnesses to shore up a very weak case.

Attorneys also accused Scheff of fabricating evidence -- Mosley shown in a photo lineup that Scheff and Amabile said was shown to witnesses. The lineup was turned over to the defense only many years after Smith was convicted, and surfaced only when detectives were pushing to keep him in prison after some of the witnesses said they had been pressured to identify Smith as the culprit.

"This was a travesty of justice all around," Wrubel said of Smith's wrongful conviction and 15 years on Florida's death row. "Any time an innocent person is wrongly convicted and incarcerated, facing the ultimate punishment, it's a travesty of justice. The system failed."

Wrubel renewed calls for the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate Broward's "sorry history" of wrongful convictions from the 1970s and 1980s, and the DNA exonerations of Smith, who was sentenced to death, and Jerry Frank Townsend and Anthony Caravella, who were sentenced to life in prison. Smith was mentally ill, and Townsend and Caravella were both mentally challenged.

Not only were the wrong men locked up and robbed of many years of their lives, but more victims died because detectives allowed Mosley's serial-killing spree to continue, said Wrubel.

The settlement released "all parties involved without any admission of liability or wrongdoing on the part of BSO," Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Keyla Concepcion wrote in an email Friday.

"The Smith case is perhaps an isolated, last remnant of a previous, less advanced era of criminal investigative science," she wrote.

Scheff and Amabile did not respond to requests for comment.

Carolyn McCann of the State Attorney's Office said her office sought a full investigation of Scheff and Amabile by an independent prosecutor. She also said the three DNA exonerations caused many changes in how prosecutors do their work -- including requiring police to videotape all suspect statements.

The special prosecutor from St. Lucie County who investigated Scheff and Amabile decided in 2001 that there wasn't enough evidence to show they lied in Smith's criminal case and appeals. Scheff was the focus of that investigation, but Amabile's actions were also examined because he backed up Scheff in court.

The prosecution's report found the suspicions about Scheff's actions were "well-founded" but not sufficient to support criminal perjury charges against Scheff or Amabile -- though the report also found both men may have given false testimony based on their negligence.

Townsend and Caravella spent more than 20 years in state prison before DNA testing cleared them.

Townsend, who was convicted of a string of rapes and murders in South Florida, received $2 million from the Broward Sheriff's Office and $2.2 million from the city of Miami to settle his civil lawsuits.

A federal jury earlier this year decided two Miramar detectives involved in the Caravella case should pay him $7 million, although the case is still being litigated and he has not yet received any money. The same jury found a former Broward Sheriff's detective not liable for Caravella's wrongful conviction.

The DNA tests that exonerated Smith and Townsend in 2000 and 2001 implicated Mosley as the real rapist and killer in at least eight slayings from the 1970s and 1980s. Mosley remains a suspect in at least 40 rapes and more than a dozen murders in the northwest Fort Lauderale area, as well as the murders of two women in Lakeland during a period when his family sent him to live with relatives there.

Mosley has not been tried for any of the murders. He was committed to a state psychiatric hospital in 1988 after being found mentally incompetent to stand trial. He remains involuntarily committed to the secure hospital in Chattahoochee in northern Florida.

Though Smith's attorneys felt the alleged misconduct by the Sheriff's Office and the intense suffering Smith endured were worth more, Wrubel said there were practical reasons for settling the 2002 civil lawsuit shortly before it was finally scheduled to go to trial this summer.

For example, although Smith was posthumously exonerated in Shandra's death, he had a violent criminal record that included convictions for two slayings -- an uncomfortable issue that was certainly going to be raised in the civil trial. He had admitted his role in both crimes.

Smith served time as a juvenile for manslaughter when he was 13 after fatally stabbing a teen in what he claimed was self-defense at a Dillard High School football game in 1960.

Five years later he was convicted, along with two co-defendants, of first-degree murder in the fatal shooting of a male robbery victim. He was freed in 1981 after serving 15 years in prison.

There were other concerns that would have made trying the civil case before a jury risky -- including that Smith was mentally ill, had joined a cult and was sometimes homeless and not working before he went to prison. All those elements would have made it more difficult to calculate the damages due to him.

Perhaps the greatest challenge: Smith was dead -- making it difficult to personalize him to a jury. Though such money judgements are intended to compensate the person who suffered, as well as punish and deter the people responsible, Smith's death meant any money would go to his half-sister, his closest legal relative by blood, and Richard Beauchamp, the attorney for the Sheriff's Office, made it clear in court records that he was going to raise questions about how emotionally close that relationship had really been.

"I think if we'd had 10 juries, two of them would be totally outraged [and] another two would probably not really have cared what happened [to him] because of Frank's criminal history -- the very criminal history that made Frank an easy target for the Broward Sheriff's Office," Wrubel said.

Virginia Smith did not respond to requests for comment. In a 2011 interview with the Sun Sentinel, she said she hoped to pay off the balance on her brother's funeral bill, erect a headstone at his grave and set up a foundation to help other wrongfully imprisoned people.

By Headspace

Running most certainly has its benefits: It's good for our hearts and our heads. Many have turned running into a daily habit. And while there's much to gain from performing the physical activity, there's a lot we're missing out on when we slip into a semi-conscious state when doing the exercise. It’s pretty normal for the mind to wander when you’re running, regardless of whether the thoughts are related to the running itself, or something quite separate. But the only way to ensure that you’re performing to the very best of your ability, is to leave the thinking behind and allow the body and mind to work together with a combined physical and mental focus. So here is a mindfulness exercise from the meditation experts at Headspace to use next time you go for your run.

Step 1
Before you get ready to go out running, try to get a sense of how you’re feeling. What’s going on in the mind? Are you feeling anxious, confident or completely indifferent? If you have the time and inclination, you can even take a couple of minutes to sit down and allow the mind to rest before you begin. If you do this each time you may start to notice a pattern that will help you to respond more skillfully.

Step 2
As you change into your running clothes, begin to notice the physical sensations in the body. Perhaps the legs feel heavy from a previous run, or the shoulders tight from sitting at the computer. Or perhaps there’s a general feeling of lightness in the body. This process isn’t done with any sense of judgment or analysis, you are simply building up an awareness of how you feel.

Step 3
Before you leave, take a few deep breaths. This will help you to focus and give you a greater sense of being grounded. Breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth. Once you’re running you can return to whatever pattern of breathing feels most natural for you. Try to do this at least four or five times before you head out.

Step 4
As you begin to run, while a keeping a strong awareness of everything that’s going on around you, bring your attention back to the body. How does it feel now that you’re moving? How are the muscles responding to the movement? Notice how the breath quickly changes as the body begins to warm up. As always, there is nothing to do except be aware of all these things. Notice how the mind responds, too. Is it with a feeling of pleasure, of having "escaped" work or home, of stretching your legs and getting some fresh air? Or is it a feeling of mild anxiety about the hard work you’re expecting to experience later in the run? What about the thoughts? Is the mind very busy, churning up all the events of the day and looking ahead to the to-do list for tomorrow? Or does it feel very settled, perhaps even comforted, by the physical movement?

Step 5
As you settle into the run, begin to notice the rhythm you’ve established. Does it feel comfortable? How does the body feel? Does it feel balanced, with an equal amount of force being used in both legs? How do the arms feel? And the shoulders? Is there anywhere in the body that feels tight? If there is, you already know what to do with it -– watch it, observe it, become aware of it. Resist the temptation to try and get rid of it somehow. You may well find that in the process of awareness, the tension naturally releases itself anyway.

Step 6
If you’re running for fun or simply to keep fit, then it’s helpful to actively encourage an awareness of what’s going on around you. This might be other runners, cars, parks, fields, buildings or anything else you pass along the way. It’s amazing how often people run exactly the same route every day and yet how little they know about it, how little they actually see. And the only reason for this is the tendency to go inwards, to become lost in thought. So remember that idea of gentle curiosity, not frantically trying to notice everything around you, but being interested in the things that grab your attention.

Step 7
Because you’re more present and more aware, it’s quite likely that the way you think when you run (your mental habits) will also become more apparent. Do you have a tendency to be hard or kind to yourself when you’re running? Where does the mind instinctively go? Is it inwards, toward thinking, or outwards, towards sensations in the body? Is there a strong feeling of confidence, or of self-consciousness? You can also notice when the body begins to respond to the running process, when it releases the endorphins, when you start to feel invincible, as though you could run forever (assuming that happens at some stage on your run).

Step 8
One of the so-called problems of being more aware is that you become aware of not only the pleasant sensations, but also the unpleasant ones. Don't worry -- the unpleasant sensations can be put to good effect. Rather than try to "get away" from physical discomfort, see what happens when you rest your attention with the feeling. Try doing it as if you and the pain are not really separate, so less of "me and my pain" and more of the simple, direct experience of "pain." The results might surprise you.

Step 9
Whether it’s the shortness of breath, the tightness of the chest, the aching of the thighs or cramping of the calves, all of these seemingly-disruptive experiences can be used as effective supports or objects of focus for your running meditation. When you first notice the pain, the instinctive reaction will be to resist it, to get rid of it, which will usually involve either stopping or beginning a long mental battle to try to forcibly overcome it, ignore it, or suppress it in some way. Obviously, you need to be aware of your own physical capabilities to respect your body, and take appropriate action when necessary. However, if you feel you can continue without doing any lasting damage, then try moving even closer to the discomfort, as if you are sinking down into that feeling and experiencing it in a very direct way. This may feel counterintuitive at first, but there’s method to the madness. In moving closer to it, in fully experiencing it and even encouraging it, you'll experience a complete shift in the usual, habitual dynamic and very often the pain is released as a result.

Step 10
Try focusing on the sensation of the foot striking the floor. The sense of rhythm can be very relaxing and it’s an obvious and stable point of focus. Whatever your object of focus, try to run with a "light touch" and relaxed mental attitude to the exercise. Even if you are pushing really hard to better your time, see just how little effort is required to run. Strange as that may sound, very often the more effort you expend, the more you tighten up. and so the more you slow down. You could even make this the entire focus of your run, simply monitoring the amount of effort being applied. Notice in turn how this then affects your running stride.

Step 11
Whether you are running for fun or taking it more seriously, you’ll find this exercise far more manageable if you break it down into sections. Some people find that stride by stride is the best way to focus, whereas for others it is street by street, or even mile by mile. One popular method is to break down the run into every ten strides, or every twenty, or even every hundred. It’s a bit like counting the breath and will help stop the mind wandering off. Obviously, the longer the distance you intend to focus on, the more difficult it is to remember these principles, so make a point of building in regular checks to see if you’re present throughout the run.

Obama, Nancy Pelosi And Harry Reid Joining OFA Meeting

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

By KEN THOMAS, THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama is meeting Monday with his most loyal supporters to discuss ways to promote his agenda on issues like immigration reform and the economy as lawmakers prepare to return home for their annual summer break.

Obama was being joined by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi of California at a meeting of Organizing for Action, a super political action committee formed from the president's 2012 re-election campaign.

The meeting comes ahead of Congress' annual August recess, when many lawmakers return to their districts and hold town hall meetings with constituents. It was during the same period in 2009 that many tea party activists rallied against Obama's health care proposal, which the White House is now working to implement.

Democrats are trying to build momentum on issues like immigration reform, which cleared the Senate but faces an uncertain future in the House; expanded background checks for certain firearm purchases, which are stalled in Congress; and measures to curb climate change, which the president outlined last month.

Obama also plans a series of economic speeches beginning this week that will be aimed at building support ahead of upcoming budget deadlines this fall and the potential for another fight with Republicans over the nation's borrowing limit.

Organizing for Action, which is run by former White House and campaign aides, has tried to build public pressure on members of Congress to enact the president's second-term agenda. The group raised more than $8 million between April and June.

Attendees at an "Action August" summit were receiving an update from Reid and Pelosi at the meeting, along with news from Cecile Richards of Planned Parenthood Action Fund, which has been active in opposing sweeping new abortion restrictions in Texas.

Obama was scheduled to speak at the summit and then at a dinner for the organization later in the evening.

This is what humans and animals look like when they are doused with a bucket of cold water. Behold:

The idea behind these clever photographs is simple: two Toronto-based artists by the name of April Maciborka and David Wile recruited children, adults, a porcupine, a kangaroo and even a peacock to pose for a series called "Splash." In it, the motley crew of subjects sit center frame while the camera catches the exact moment that a significant amount of water comes hurling toward their selves. Chaos does not ensure, but hilarious reactions to the shower certainly do.

"[The project] instigated hilarious reactions from people, babies and exotic animals," Maciborka and Wile explained in an email exchange with The Huffington Post. "It developed into an on-going series for years because [we] couldn’t stop finding the pleasure in watching genuine surprise and of course experimenting with the delightful patterns of freeze framed water."

We couldn't help but smile at the resulting expressions, ranging from shock to aggravation to pure joy. The collaborative project encapsulates split-second moments that we don't often get to relish, bald heads, whipped hair and all.
