An American who co-wrote a book called "How to Survive the Running of the Bulls" was badly gored on Wednesday in the morning bull run at Pamplona's San Fermin festival.
Though I suppose if he lives, he will have technically 'survived' the running of the bulls.
A North Carolina man was partially paralyzed after he was struck in the head on Saturday by a stray bullet at a festival celebrating the opening of a Buddhist temple in Charlotte, N.C., WSOC-TV reported.
But you never know.
KFOR in Oklahoma reports that Timothy Ray Murray believes Rep. Frank Lucas R-Okla., his opponent in the congressional Republican primary, was executed three years ago and is being represented by a look-alike. Because he believes Lucas is really dead, Murray said he will challenge the results of Tuesday's Republican primary, in which Murray received 5.2 percent of the vote. Lucas won the primary with 82.8 percent of the vote.
Get Darryl Issa on it.
The globe just experienced the hottest May in recorded history, according to reports from multiple organizations. Ocean and land temperatures rose 0.74 degrees Celsius (1.33 degrees Fahrenheit) over the 20th Century average, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). That makes May 2014 the warmest May since the agency started tracking those figures in 1880. Both NASA and Japan Meteorological Agency came to the same conclusion — this was the warmest May ever recorded. Overall, this was the second warmest spring ever, trailing only the March-May period in 2010, according to the NOAA.
On Tuesday the 17th of June 2014 we received a well orchestrated DDOS against our servers, this happens quite often and we normally overcome them in a way that is transparent to the Code Spaces community. On this occasion however the DDOS was just the start.
An unauthorised person who at this point who is still unknown (All we can say is that we have no reason to think its anyone who is or was employed with Code Spaces) had gained access to our Amazon EC2 control panel and had left a number of messages for us to contact them using a hotmail address
Reaching out to the address started a chain of events that revolved arount the person trying to extort a large fee in order to resolve the DDOS.
Upon realisation that somebody had access to our control panel we started to investigate how access had been gained and what access that person had to the data in our systems, it became clear that so far no machine access had been achieved due to the intruder not having our Private Keys.
At this point we took action to take control back of our panel by changing passwords, however the intruder had prepared for this and had already created a number of backup logins to the panel and upon seeing us make the attempted recovery of the account he proceeded to randomly delete artifacts from the panel. We finally managed to get our panel access back but not before he had removed all EBS snapshots, S3 buckets, all AMI's, some EBS instances and several machine instances.
In summary, most of our data, backups, machine configurations and offsite backups were either partially or completely deleted.

I truly feel for the people who lost their data. And I'd hate to be a Code Spaces employee today. But, I'm also somewhat less than surprised: using "the cloud" is, at heart, simply putting your data on someone else's computer. You get to share their resources, but you also get to share their problems.
After she died, a couple of weeks back, our local NPR station started changing the way announcers would pronounce Maya Angelou's last name. After decades of hearing it pronounced as it's spelled, An-jel-oo (or Ahnjel-oo), they've started pronouncing it "An-jel-oh". Turns out, they are right.
And about that same time, they started changing the way they pronounce the name of local Marine base, Camp Lejeune. I've always heard it pronounced Camp Le-zhoon, but they started pronouncing it Camp Le-zhurn. Some invisible 'r' had snuck its way in there. Turns out, they were right, too.
This week in random music shuffling...

But in Trance the burglar (played by James McAvoy) didn’t have to take a test, I thought. His hypnotherapist (played by Rosario) only had to say a few lines and the thief was immediately torpedoed back to the day that he’d stolen the painting, seeing the details as clearly as if it were really happening to him. As if reading my mind, Guzy explained that the movie simplified the hetero hypnotic process, and for good reason. “We can’t show hypnotic inductions on TV or in movies because people [watching the movie] will go into a hypnotic state.” She said it’s happened before.
