The last I heard the other people in Yemen were being perused. But Yemen is a lot like Afghanistan, there is little government control and the region is largely mountainous and inaccessible. It's another place where it's difficult to find anyone.

I'll add there was a definite mess-up by the Obama administration by not yet having the special high value interrogation unit fully up and running yet. They were too slow in establishing that since announcing it in August.

Ow. Too many joints are hurting at once, and I can't find any way to sit or lie down that doesn't put pressure on something.

So... salad shooters.

So... salad shooters.

I'm against them

I hate my body. I want to go skating, or learn how to ski, or go rollerblading or surfing or biking or something else where I get to go fast. And right now, I hurt too much to walk across my apartment.

Heh. I worked out with a friend who has become a personal trainer, for the first time yesterday, so I, too am sore, but at least I have a good reason for it! Oddly, she had me doing lunges and so I thought I'd be all sore in my quads (which were hurting by the end!), but instead it's my ASS that is all sore. I think that's a good thing, probably. Means I got a butt workout, right? I'm going to end up with a perky ass?

I'm so sorry Hil.

In other news, did y'all see the news about the PA school district that was spying on students through their laptops?

Here are some linky links: School used student laptop webcams to spy on them at school and home

School spying: infected laptops mandatory, jailbreaking grounds for explusion

FBI investigating Lower Merion School District over laptop spying (plus a commemorative tee)

Yikes.

Yeah that school spying story is unbelievable. I forget which buffista mentioned how crazy it is that not one person in the scool administration spoke up on the wrongness of it all.

I spent the last 20 minutes swearing at my DVR and accusing it of homophobia because it wouldn't record "Ru Paul's Drag Race". Finally I figured out it's now called "Ru Paul's Drag Race 2". Sheesh.

Yah, we were talking about that one the other day--forget if it was in here or another thread. SOO messed up--how can someone not think to speak up and say "gee, this seems like a poor idea!" Though I don't find it THAT creepy if they were told they'd be spied on DURING SCHOOL HOURS...I guess. Maybe. But....outside of school?? HELL NO.

I guess now they're claiming they were only doing it to track supposedly stolen laptops? Which, yes, there are programs that do that, and I know some people who've had those, and that's awesome and all....but then how does that end up with "we're going to suspend you"?? Becuase, really. Was it "we're going to suspend you because that's not your laptop?" I don't think so. And that's the only reasoning I can think of...and that's not a good reasoning (because if it's not your laptop....that should be a police matter, not a suspension one)

OK, I took a Vicodin. It's probably going to make me too groggy to really do any work tomorrow, but I need the pain relief now.
