Reproductive Justice will be a seminar reviewing legal and ethical issues surrounding decisions about pregnancy and childbirth with a focus on reproductive injustice issues. We will look mainly at United States case and statutory law on the rights of women, childbearing issues, maternal-fetal questions, as well as laws and practices restricting access to services. We will consider embryonic stem cell issues, individual rights versus societal standards, autonomy versus medical standards, post birth accommodations and sexual rights issues. We will pay special attention to how the law defines "rights" and the difference between "Women's rights" and "reproductive justice." We will use legal decisions, statutes and readings to see if/how the legal system works to resolve conflicts and navigate social policy issues.The specific goals are:1. To understand the impact of major legal decisions and analyze current questions about reproductive justice issues.2. To understand relevant social and policy issues and see how the legal system plays a role in the lives of individuals.3. To use legal and social policy approaches to help you think critically about reproductive justice and injustice in our society.4. To think and write critically about how the legal system helps, hinders or is neutral on issues of reproductive justice.5. To determine what the rules are, what you believe they ought to be (and why) and how to get from "are" to "ought."6. To analyze legal and ethical materials, discuss positions taken by partisans in the reproductive justice debates, formulate thoughtful questions, discuss difficult issues and create new ways of discussing these issues.

New documents reveal Howard Hughes role in plot to steal Soviet submarine
The tale of Howard Hughes' secret involvement in a CIA scheme to retrieve a Soviet submarine from the ocean floor sounds preposterous.
But the agency itself recounts the incident in almost gleeful detail on its website:
"Imagine standing atop the Empire State Building with an 8-foot-wide grappling hook on a 1-inch-diameter steel rope," the CIA's website states in a 2012 entry about Project AZORIAN.
"Your task is to lower the hook to the street below, snag a compact car full of gold, and lift the car back to the top of the building," the intelligence agency continues. "On top of that, the job has to be done without anyone noticing. That, essentially, describes what the CIA did in Project AZORIAN, a highly secret six-year effort to retrieve a sunken Soviet submarine from the Pacific Ocean floor during the Cold War."
Now, the U.S. Department of State has released about 200 pages of declassified documents through its series entitled Foreign Relations of the United States.
The selection about the AZORIAN Project, National Security Policy, 1973-1976, is in Volume XXXV, which covers the years 1969-1976.
As noted in a State Department news release, the selection released March 14 is available for purchase through the U.S. Government Printing Office.
As described by the CIA, the sub sank in 1968 in the Pacific Ocean and, after the Soviets gave up trying to find it, U.S. crews tracked it down about 1,500 miles northeast of Hawaii, more than three miles below the surface.
In 1970, CIA engineers and contractors determined that the only technically feasible approach was to lift the sub with a large mechanical claw attached to a ship on the surface, according to the CIA.
"The ship would be called the Glomar Explorer, a commercial deep-sea mining vessel ostensibly built and owned by billionaire Howard Hughes, who provided the plausible cover story that his ship was conducting marine research at extreme ocean depths and mining manganese nodules lying on the sea bottom," the CIA's website states.
The bizarre story is also the subject of an April 10 blog post, That time the CIA and Howard Hughes tried to steal a Soviet submarine, by Mark Strauss, a staff writer for the online publication io9. Strauss notes that the story became the plot of the 1977 James Bond film, The Spy Who Loved Me.
After six years of planning, the recovery mission in the summer of 1974 was only partly successful and by February 1975, reporters began publishing stories about it.
As shown in the newly released documents, U.S. officials had been fretting about how the Soviets would react if the U.S. made a second attempt to recover the sub, but it proved to be a moot point.
Strauss writes that on June 16, 1975, Secretary of State Henry Kissinger sent a memo to President Gerald Ford:
"It is now clear that the Soviets have no intention of allowing us to conduct a second mission without interference," Kissinger's memo stated. "A Soviet ocean-going tug has been on station at the target site since 28 March, and there is every indication that the Soviets intend to maintain a watch there. Our recovery system is vulnerable to damage and incapacitation by the most innocent and frequent occurrences at sea—another boat coming too close or 'inadvertently' bumping our ship ..."
And with that, Strauss writes, the $800 million AZORIAN Project was terminated.

Genuine absinthe is 70% to 80% alcohol. Because it caused harmful neurological effects (due to the presence of thujone, a toxic chemical in wormwood), absinthe was banned in many countries; where it still is available it is no longer as toxic as it once was.

Another Presidential debacle (race) has come and gone. I am proud to say, I did go to the polls and cast my vote. Unfortunately, there was little to sway my vote in the way of choosing the "best" candidate. Based on the pre-election campaign advertisement and media coverage, we were left with not much more than smear campaign tactics and rhetoric.
I was amazed at the numbers of people who publically displayed their grievances and persuasion of political party on Facebook and other forums. To be honest it was embarrassing and appalling. Name calling, bias, and threats have no place in our constitution and should never play a role in a political campaign or an election.
Our government has been created on principles of freedom to choose. The bedrock of our country is the willingness to accept one another in spite of difference. I witnessed disgruntled business owners, upset their candidate was not elected into office, disgracing our nation by flying an American flag at half staff upside down. If they had half a clue they would realize by doing so, through their ignorance and intolerance they are indicating to other countries, to nations worldwide, that the United States has been defeated and is surrendering its soil to all nations worldwide, and we are, at war and defeated. Talk about treason!
In addition, I had many friends defend their right not to vote by attacking those who vote. Listen, if you choose not to exercise your constitutional right to vote, so be it, but don't condemn those who choose to be American. The argument that you don't want to be responsible for putting the wrong person in office is in the least the weakest argument you could make. If both candidates are so "wrong" and you are so right, why are you not pro-active and on the ballot. I'll tell you why, because you are weak, you are looking for someone to blame for the "wrong", and you are the first to complain (and the loudest). You're despicable!
There were many friends, or so-called friends, who actually argued so ferociously they defriended one another over political points of view. I began to wonder if political points of view or religious points of view were something people considered when they became friends. Are differences not tolerated? Perhaps these so-called friends offered little in the way of friendship and more in the way of hindrance. Are we not judged by our appearances, our circle of friends? If I choose to hang with a band of automatic weapon wielding drug lords or a group of PhD's, by association and appearance I am perceived on my level of association with the people I hang with. As far as I am concerned, you can keep your bigotry and racism, your superficial fake friendship and I assure you, I will lose no sleep if you defriend me!
If one person in a friendship can walk away from the relationship based on a difference of opinion over political likeness, it was a shallow friendship to begin with. Every person has a constitutional and moral right to have an opinion, even if that opinion differentiates from mine, and yes that includes the bigot and racist. I don't have to like it, I don't have to agree, and I can always walk away.
So I ask, why is it so important people control other people's opinions? I can offer my opinion and if it is more sensible and intelligent then you have the alternative to accept or disregard, but not to force your opinion as the supreme authoritative final word. I get to make the choice! And yes, you get to make the choice.
To be American is to embrace change, difference and the freedom to choose. To be American is to do whatever it takes to elevate your country and its policy makers to new heights by holding them accountable and exercising your constitutional right to vote. To be American is to love this great country we call America.
If you are so inclined to be disgruntled with your government to committing treason, opposed to allowing individuality through difference of opinion, perhaps the country you desire to reside awaits on some third-world continent where you are welcome to hate America and live in the stone-age in a society full of bigotry and bias. However, I would warn you to educate yourself on the other country's laws. Most other countries will not allow such behavior — they erase it!
Love America!

Just in from state Party Chair Ray Buckley:
NHDP Chairman Ray Buckley's Statement on the NHGOP's Continued Tax Hypocrisy
Concord, NH - New Hampshire Democratic Party Chair Ray Buckley issued the following statement in response to the New Hampshire Republican Party's continued hypocrisy regarding taxes.
"I find unbelievable that the same party that just elected as Chair a person with a lien of over $90,000 for years of back taxes continue to keep unpaid taxes in the news. When Congresswoman Kuster became aware of her small back tax bill, she immediately paid it in full. When Chairwoman Horn's tax woes were revealed, she called it part of 'personal attacks on my family.'" said Buckley.
"From Chairwoman Horn's tax lien, to former Congressman Frank Guinta's mystery bank account, I would say that Republicans should worry about getting their own personal financial houses in order before spending any more time thinking about anyone elses'."
What Buckley fails to note is that Horn has explained her family's financial trouble, especially her husbands drop in pay, that led to the liens.
So far Kuster has refused to adequately explain her delinquencies. Don't think anyone should buy for a moment that Kuster repeatedly lost track of $40,000 in taxes up against at $2 million in assets.
So, the question to Buckley is: Who's really showing signs of hypocrisy?

I came across this idiom in the following sentence:
BTW, I found an explanation (Google 风声水起是什么意思) that says this is rooted in a folk story about fishermen that had no firewood and had to eat the fish raw, and then this became a name for a cooking style.. but even if this is a relevant answer I'm still not sure I understand how this idiom is used today and in this sentence in particular.
This one is really intriguing to me, I hope someone can shed some light!

Exploring the Wilde bequest: offprints and beyond
Having this week completed a reorganization of fifteen boxes of offprints from the Johannes Wilde bequest; I thought I would write a few words on the material preserved within these boxes. This fragment of Wilde's legacy collection, significant in size and content, is yet to be catalogued on the library's OPAC, but can be searched by card index (see below). The main bequest of books and manuscripts, as well as his archive of teaching materials, is fully catalogued and kept in the library's special collections – both can be consulted on filling in a CABS request form.
What began as a vast swathe of offprints has now been streamlined into a shipshape assemblage of just over 600 texts, most of which have personal inscriptions to Wilde. There is a broad scope of material chiefly published in the 1930s, '40s and '50s, but going as far back as a volume Jahrbuch der Königlich preussischen Kunstsammlungen from 1893. Written in several languages (chiefly German but also English, French, Italian and Hungarian), it contains a lot of Wilde's own writings, as well as a good amount on Michelangelo – as you might expect – Renaissance art, and architecture.
As well as official offprints from periodicals such as Oud Holland, The Burlington Magazine, the Mitteilungen des Kunsthistorischen Institutes in Florenz, and Athenaeum, the collection also contains some full issues of journals; festschrifts for scholars such as Julius Schlosser, Paul Clemen and Max Friedländer; and ephemeral items including business cards, compliment slips, newspaper and magazine clippings, and proofs.
Most of the items are marked with Wilde's distinctive handwriting, either denoting the author's name at the top of the page (as above on a clipping from The Listener entitled 'How Cézanne saw and used colour' by Gerard Frankl), or with his notes or corrections alongside the text. There are also a great number of personal inscriptions written from the various authors, such as this affectionate example from Antoine Seilern to Julia and Johannes Wilde, from his piece on 'An 'Entombment' by Rubens' (The Burlington Magazine Vol. 95, No. 609, December 1953).
What is interesting is the network of figures that emerges from these inscriptions, giving you a tangible picture of the who's who of art historians and scholars from the first half of the twentieth century, with a particular emphasis on the 'Vienna School' and on émigrés such as Wilde, Seilern, Charles de Tolnay, Erwin Panofsky and many others. It is an interesting piece of Courtauld Institute history in itself, demonstrating how professors, peers and students influenced one another and continued to correspond throughout their careers. Below you can see an envelope addressed to Professor Wilde from Katherine Freemantle, containing a proof copy of some biographical particulars and a bibliography of Professor Jan van Gelder.
For more information on the Wilde Collection, see the Special Collections page of the book library website. Further archive material on Wilde is held at UCL's School of Slavonic and East European Studies. If you want to have a look at the offprints collection, we have a holdings list behind the issue desk in the book library.

Financial Disputes on Divorce Devon
Divorce can be quite a period of turmoil for both the parties involved. Though it is advisable that one should take the help of a Devon mediator, at the same time one should take into consideration that the mediator himself cannot take any final decision. He needs to consult a solicitor to make the final decision. After a final decision is reached the mediator has to consult a solicitor who makes the final agreement which has to be signed by both the parties to put an end to the dispute.
You reach a final decision or not, the things that are considered while resolving financial disputes on divorce are:-
1. Both parties have to fully disclose their income or wealth.
2. The final resolution is settled in a court. It is only then that the settlements are enforced.
If some kind of agreement is reached; even before passing of the resolution in the court, then still the final decision has to be formalised in a court. Court order is mandatory.
Factors that a court considers vital in settling financial disputes in a divorce proceeding are as follows:-
1. If there is a child below the age of 18 years, then that is an important factor to be considered. The judges consider the welfare of the child before anything else.
2. The income and financial resources of both the parties involved should be considered.
3. The type of financial obligation, both the parties are going to have in the future.
4. The lifestyle and the daily expenditure of both parties have to be considered.
5. The age of the couples and the duration they have lived together in the wedlock.
6. If either of the parties is suffering from some mental disability or handicap, then that has to be considered.
7. The general behaviour of both parties.
8. Last, but not the value of the assets and benefits that either party may lose by means of the divorce.
The court procedure generally takes place in two steps. In the first step, the judge prepares the sets of questions that both the parties need to answer. In the second hearing, both parties need to be aware of each other's financial position. Its main purpose is that the parties involved reach a settlement before passing on the final settlement.

After four straight years of reaching the postseason, and with a lineup that included the addition of former Scottish international John Spencer as well as a number of young, talented players, the Rapids looked to be on the verge of big things as they headed into the 2001 season.
In addition to the signing of Spencer, the Rapids other big move during the offseason was the hi ring of head coach Tim Hankinson from Tampa Bay. In his two and a half years wi th the Mutiny, Hankinson helped lead the club to a 39384 record and two playoff appearances.
However, Colorado came out of the gates slow under Hankinson and was never able to get back into the playoff picture. The Rapids won just two of their first 15 games, including a ninegame winless streak. Even the midseason acquisitions of players like Chris Carrieri, Raul Diaz Arce, Scott Garlick and Carlos Valderrama could not get Colorado out of its skid, and it finished with a 5138 record for a team record low of 23 points.
But the 2001 season was not a complete loss as a number of individuals turned in a seri es of fine performances. The most notable of these was Spencer who, despite the team's poor record, fini shed third in the league in goals and points wi th 14 and 35 respectively, both of which are team records that still stand today. Spencer also became the first Rapids player ever to record a hat trick when he scored three times against Chicago in a 31 win in the Rapids' annual Independence Day blowout celebration at Mile High Stadium on July 4 in front of 60,500 fans.
The end of the year also saw the Rapids saying goodbye to Mile High Stadium, which had been the club's home since Openi ng Day 1996. Mile High was demolished at the end of the year to make way for the brand new Invesco Field, opening just next door. The Rapids played the last ever professional sporting event ever held at Mile High on Sept. 8 of this year, a 20 loss to the LA Galaxy. The Rapids were scheduled to play the first ever event and soccer match ever in Invesco Field later that month, but the match was cancelled following the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11.
The Rapids also said goodbye to Paul Bravo, the team's alltime leading scorer, who retired at the end of the 2001 season. In 135 games with the club, Bravo scored 39 goals and 100 points, both of which were team records.

Louisiana College set to launch international high schoolMay 31st, 2012
PINEVILLE, LA – Following a vision that began in December, 2009, Louisiana College has announced it will open the Louisiana Collegiate International Academy for concurrently enrolled high school juniors and seniors this fall at its Pineville campus location.
Louisiana Collegiate International Academy (LCIA) will offer students from across the world the opportunity to accelerate their academic careers in a collegiate campus setting through college-level courses, a highly-trained and qualified faculty, and a unique international cultural experience.
"The mission of the Louisiana Collegiate International Academy falls right in line with the overall mission of Louisiana College," said LC President Dr. Joe Aguillard. "That mission is to provide an educational experience characterized by Christian principles, academic excellence, and global perspectives focused on graduating students with a capacity to improve the world through selfless giving, global leadership principles, and Godly character."
LCIA will be based on the "middle college" concept first established in the 1970s in New York. The distinctions that make the LC program unique is the opportunity for students to live on campus, have personal mentors, take part in the collegiate experience, and finish their high school requirements alongside students from around the world.
According to Dr. Randall Esters, Dean of LC's School of Education, students who attend LCIA will earn as much as 50 hours of college credit, and all graduates will be guaranteed undergraduate admission to Louisiana College. LCIA was approved to grant a high school diploma by the Louisiana Board of Elementary and Secondary Education (BESE) at its March, 2012 meeting. Ester's also stated that the school's level of instruction, curriculum, and achievement will meet and exceed requirements for a high school diploma.
"The LCIA is designed to catapult high academic achievers to a level of accomplishment and challenge they may not be finding in traditional high school settings," Esters said. "The development of a hybrid curriculum that exceeds state and national standards will be paramount to the success of the program." Traci Thomas, Louisiana College's International partner said, "International students will infuse the campus with cultural diversity and prepare every student to excel in the global community. Although the medium of academic delivery will be English, languages such as Mandarin and Korean will be heard extensively on campus. The purpose of the scholars program is to create an empathetic student community relative to other people and cultures. The purpose is not to stifle or erode cultural identities but to enhance the human condition for all participants including students, faculty, staff and the community at large."
Students will have the option to live on campus in a safe, comfortable, apartment-style living experience. They will also be given the opportunity to participate in campus clubs, sports, music, fine arts, theater, and other traditional high school and college experiences in one setting. I never thought it is so many legal online casinos in Canada before I discovered site for myself. It was a great revelation and now I gradually try to play every single casino from the list of reliable ones to try 'em out.
Who is eligible?
The Louisiana Collegiate International Academy will begin accepting applications in June, 2012 for students of high achievement who are entering the 11th or 12th grade. All qualified candidates will participate in a personal interview with the Admissions Committee, and admission will be based on five components:
A. Academic achievement and/or ability – as indicated by transcripts for grades 9 and 10 that demonstrate a composite 3.5 GPA in required subjects, a composite ACT (or equivalent) score of 22, and letters of recommendation from select teachers.
B. Citizenship and leadership – as indicated by a record of co-curricular and extra-curricular activities, community service, and a letter of recommendation from a non-relative adult.
C. Critical thinking and application – assessed through two, three page minimum, personal essays.
D. Work ethic
E. Moral character – Though applicants are not required to be Christians, they will be required to supply an original written essay describing their own character traits as they relate to moral behavior in a Christian environment.
How is LCIA being implemented?
LCIA is being implemented in three phases over a five-year period.
Phase One (year one) is in the process of being completed. In December, 2009, the Louisiana College Board of Trustees began the process of moving forward to plan and develop a preparatory level school. In March, 2012 LC received approval for the academy from the Louisiana Department of Education and the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education (BESE).
Phase Two (years two and three) will begin with enrollment during the summer of 2012 and include an 11th grade cohort of up to 25 students (including international students) with on-campus housing available. Up to 50 students will be enrolled for year three.
Phase Three (years four and five) will see the final, full implementation of LCIA's administrative structure, housing, and academic program. This will allow for further growth of up to 180 students in subsequent years.
What are the Goals and Objectives of LCIA?
LCIA will have five goals and objectives:
First, to create a nurturing environment that will ensure academic and developmental growth of students. Students will be assigned college-aged mentors to assist them in adjusting to the rigor of LCIA, be provided learning labs with tutors for academic support, and have professional counselors available to them for additional emotional support.
Second, LCIA will deliver a rigorous academic program designed to prepare students for a successful post-secondary experience. LCIA will feature courses that meet and exceed state standards and will be aligned with national core standards, employ instructors who are certified teachers, and establish high standards and expectations for all students.
Third, LCIA will help students obtain an awareness and understanding of themselves, their heritage, and the interdependent world by weaving cultural awareness and appreciation into all courses, providing daily opportunities for cultural exchange and interaction, and offering elective courses on the world economies and cultures.
Fourth, LCIA will prepare students academically, emotionally, and culturally for post-secondary education by immersing them in the college culture, aligning their courses with adopted, parallel college level courses (including dual enrollment when appropriate), assessing their growth and development, and providing them with small group and individual support.
Fifth, and finally, consistent with LC's overall mission, students at LCIA will be given knowledge of the Bible's content and basic doctrines, develop the ability to analyze life issues along theological, moral, cultural, and professional grounds, and develop the ability to utilize biblical principles to make value judgments and personal decisions.
Louisiana Collegiate International Academy admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national or ethnic origin in administration of our educational policies, admission policies, or any school administered programs.

Gilbert Gottfried, a pretty foulmouthed comedian and tasteless twitterer, was the voice of the Aflac Duck. You know, the duck that obnoxiously screeches AFFFLAAAACCKKK to sell insurance. Not anymore though, Aflac has fired Gottfried for posting dumb and insensitive tweets regarding Japan. He reportedly tweeted:
"Japan called me. They said 'maybe those jokes are a hit in the U.S., but over here, they're all sinking.'"
"I was talking to my Japanese real estate agent. I said 'is there a school in this area.' She said 'not now, but just wait.'"
Those aren't even funny jokes! It's one thing to go out in a blaze of glory but it's completely idiotic when you're being an unfunny jackass who just lost the easiest job in the world. [Mashable]

After a decade devoted to motion capture, Robert Zemeckis is looking to return to live action for his next film. Disney's cancellation of the mo-cap Beatles ode Yellow Submarine surely was a wake up call. Zemeckis needs time, though, to ease back into the land of the living. The director flirted with Superman and a Wizard of Oz remake, and the time travel tale Timeless remains a possibility. And Zemeckis could always revive the Who Framed Roger Rabbit sequel that exists in a constant state of development.
Paramount has added another option, Flight, and it sounds damn promising. The script by John Gatins (Coach Carter) centers on an alcoholic/drug addict pilot. And Denzel Washington is "loosely attached" to star. Details after the break.
THR provides a brief outline:
When his plane's engine malfunctions, the pilot manages to rescue the aircraft and its passengers, becoming a hero in the process. When the FAA investigates and finds evidence of drug abuse, it tries to sweep it to the side to help preserve the image of the captain, who is trying to change the course of his life.
I am hooked when Washington uses his righteous voice to voice a deeply flawed character. "Alcoholic pilot hero" sounds perfect.
Zemeckis is in early negotiations to direct Flight, and won't necessarily be his next feature. But with Flight and Timeless, it's nice to know that the man who brought us Back to the Future has multiple quality options.
Walter Parkes and Laurie MacDonald (Dinner for Schmucks) will produce Flight. Washington will next appear opposite Ryan Reynolds in Safe House, scheduled for release February 10, 2012.

After a period of very constructive negotiation the Pestalozzi International Village Trust exchanged contracts for the sale of their estate in February and the sale completed on the 1st April.
Pestalozzi's CEO, Sue Walton, said "There has been a great deal of speculation regarding the future of the Village and we are delighted to announce that PGL Travel Limited, the UK's leading outdoor education provider, will be the new owner."

Pestalozzi and PGL were both established in 1957 and have excellent track records of providing educational opportunities to young people.
John Firth, PGL's CEO commented "PGL takes great pride in delivering inspirational learning through adventure and we are looking forward to doing just that here in the heart of the High Weald AONB." He added "PGL knows Pestalozzi very well having run adventure courses in the Pestalozzi Village for a number of years, so when the opportunity to buy the estate came up we were very excited at the prospect."

Selling the estate was not an easy decision for the charity to take but Pestalozzi's Board of Trustees recognised that this was the only way to ensure the continuation of the organisation's work with high achieving, low income young people. Chairman of the Pestalozzi Board of Trustees, Professor Stuart Laing, explained "Agreeing the sale with PGL means that we can now move forward confidently with our new scholarship programme. From September of this year we will be sponsoring students who would not otherwise be able to complete their secondary education to undertake the International Baccalaureate Diploma with United World Colleges." Professor Laing added "We know our students will thrive in UWC's multi-cultural environment just as they have here in the Village in Sedlescombe."

OSLO, Norway, March 13 (UPI) -- A missile specifically designed for use on F-35 fighters for Norway has for the first time been fitted onto an aircraft, Lockheed Martin said.
The Joint Strike Missile, which is under development by Kongsberg, was attached last month to a fighter destined for Norway at Lockheed's facility in Fort Worth, Texas.
The attachment was part of a "fit check" of the JSM on an external pylon on the F-35 to confirm that the missile is able to be fitted for external carriage. A test to verify it can be fitted within the F-35's internal weapons bay will follow.
"Although we are still far away from any operational use of the JSM this shows that the development of the missile is moving forward," said Norwegian F-35 Program Director Anders Melheim.
The long-range missile is a joint project of Kongsberg and the Norwegian Ministry of Defense.
"We are working hard to ensure that Norwegian F-35s receive the operational capabilities we need, and therefore we believe that JSM is very important. At the same time it provides significant opportunities for Norwegian industry," said Melheim.
Norway plans to acquire 52 of the fighter aircraft.

The Environmental Protection Agency is poised to approve higher levels of corn-based ethanol in gasoline for all cars manufactured in the past decade.
Two people familiar with the decision said late Thursday the agency is expected to announce on Friday that 15 percent ethanol in gasoline is safe for cars manufactured between 2001 and 2006. Both officials requested anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the decision.
In October, the agency approved 15 percent ethanol for all cars and light-duty trucks manufactured since 2007. The maximum gasoline blend has been 10 percent ethanol.
The EPA has said there won't be a decision any time soon on boosting the ethanol concentration for cars and light trucks manufactured before 2001 — or for motorcycles, heavy-duty vehicles or non-road engines — because there is not sufficient testing to support such an approval.
Ethanol is popular in farm country because most of it comes from corn and other grains. It faces strong opposition, however, from the auto industry, environmentalists, cattle ranchers, food companies and a broad coalition of other groups.
Opponents argue that the increase in production of corn and its diversion into ethanol is making animal feed more expensive, raising prices at the grocery store and tearing up the land. Manufacturers of smaller engines, such as those found in lawn mowers and boats, also oppose increasing the use of the fuel, saying those engines are not designed for the higher concentrations.
The Obama administration has remained supportive of the renewable fuel, and the EPA has said a congressional mandate for increased ethanol use can't be achieved without allowing higher percentage blends. Congress has required refiners to blend 36 billion gallons of biofuels, mostly ethanol, into auto fuel by 2022.
Critics said the change could be frustrating for drivers of older cars who will have to figure out which service station pump to use. And they argue that many retailers will opt not to sell the higher blend because of the expense of adding new pumps and signs.
The EPA has delayed decisions on using 15 percent ethanol several times as the agency and the Energy Department have tested the ethanol-blended gasoline to make sure it is safe. The agency has only approved the blend for newer cars and trucks because they have more durable emissions systems.
Ethanol burns hotter than gasoline, causing catalytic converters, which help clean engine emissions, to break down faster.

What is DVB?
DVB (Digital Video Broadcasting) is the most popular standard for digital TV. Other standards include ATSC, and Digicipher II (DCII). DVB is, somewhat confusingly, also the name of the Linux drivers used for most DTV receivers in Linux, including ATSC, DCII and other MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 based broadcast standards.
DVB was initially based on the MPEG-2 compression and packet formats, but has recently been extended to support MPEG-4 AVC streams as well. The physical part comes in three variants:
- Terrestrial (over-the-air with an antenna) (DVB-T)
- Cable (DVB-C)
- Satellite (DVB-S)
Some channels (especially pay channels) are encrypted. There's a standardized decryption hardware slot called "Common Interface" (CI) for the decryption hardware called "Conditional Access Module" (CAM), which usually also needs a smartcard for authorization and accounting.
Note: To compile in DVB driver support (used for many DTV devices) into MythTV use a recent kernel (2.6.12 or better) then use the --enable-dvb configure option. E.g.
./configure --enable-dvb qmake mythtv.pro make
as root user:
make install
Beginner's Notes
Note that MythTV DVB users are a relative (but growing) minority compared to the analog users. Hence, many of the 'standard' ways of doing things may be subtly different for DVB users, and this can be particularly confusing for people getting started with DVB. Some things of note:
- People mention getting cards with 'hardware MPEG2 encoders' to reduce the CPU load. This doesn't apply for DVB as it is digital (ie, already getting an MPEG stream)
- Transcoding profiles are a little different/nonsensical for DVB (I believe this has been changed as of 0.19/0.20).
- Recording profiles are not so useful - no longer able to change bitrate or framesize
- adante
DVB is widely used in Europe and Asia, both over-the-air (DVB-T) and via satellite (DVB-S). There are hundreds of DVB-S channels available in Europe on the satellite fleets of Astra and Eutelsat, almost all of them "free to air" (unencrypted), including all the major free stations. DVB-T is being deployed at the moment in UK, Germany, France, Australia, Spain, Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden and other countries as a replacement for the classic analog TV over antenna.
In the US, Dish Network uses standard DVB (with Nagravision 2 encryption), while DirecTV uses an earlier, incompatible system that predates DVB, sometimes called DBS (Digital Broadcast Satellite). In Canada, StarChoice uses DCII and Bell ExpressVu uses standard DVB. Most of what's available via FTA in North America is religious programming, or programming not intended for mass consumption. Still, many hobbyists enjoy receiving FTA broadcasts, and a PC with a DVB card is one of the best ways to receive these broadcasts.
Cable operators in the US were supposed to move to ATSC for by 2006 for broadcast channels but few have complied with the law. Most major TV stations in the US are now transmitting a digital signal in ATSC in addition to their analog signal. This can be received with a conventional TV antenna and an appropriate decoder, including several ATSC cards supported by MythTV.
Supported Hardware
For DVB devices supported by linux see the following pages on the linuxtv.org wiki.
Remark: My frontend is in german language, so don't worry, when the words in this paragraph are not exact the same as on your screen.
Following worked for me: precondition:
- working DVB-S card (tested with mplayer, dvbstream, ...)
- channels.conf from mplayer
- sux - mythtv (just my way to change the user)
- run mythtv-setup
- add dvb-s card, as card type i used: DVB DTV TV-Card (v3.x)
- as Frontend ID there should be some autodetected text, here it is ST STV0299 DVB-S
- Don't forget to set DiSEqC, i set to Universal (Europe)
- For video source i used Transmitted guide only (EIT)
- point 5 on main page of mythtv-setup is something like configure sender
- first i searched for senders (its Sendersuchlauf in german)
- as scantype i used read channels.conf, i used an generated channels.conf for mplayer. Maybe i used scan command from dvb-utils package. It's necessary to tell mythtv which transponders are there
- as result i got entries like br(512)(dvb-s). Unfortunately they are wrong and i only got a blank screen when i tried to watch using mythfrontend.
- Next you should delete the found senders.
- select again scan for senders (Sendersuchlauf)
- use full scan of all known transponders
- know mythtv-setup found the correct settings
- after exit of mythtv-setup, starting of mythbackend and mythfrontend i was able to watch live dvb-s tv.
Please don't hesitate to write me an email with your questions concerning this paragraph. You can use german or english language. My email is public_grueni(_at_)gmx.at. I will try to answere your question and update this paragraph.

Sometimes, all you want is a little peanut sauce, right? Something a little rich and spicy? Thaifoon Restaurant in the Gateway Mall is one of those places that satisies a specific craving. Thaifoon is unique to Utah and is great for a quick lunch or an extended dinner.
Because the Gateway is so close to work, several of us tend to walk to Thaifoon on a pretty regular basis. Thaifoon also participates in Salt Lake City's Concierge Association, which is great because as a Hotelier, we get a great discount. Thaifoon has a well-rounded lunch menu with $8.99 pricing that can't be beat for the quality.
My favorite dish that Thaifoon serves is the Chicken Satay (found in the appetizer section of the menu). This is a great starter, but paired with some miso soup or a sushi roll of some kind, the Chicken Satay makes a great light lunch. The chicken is insanely tender and cooked with a lot of flavor. The chicken is presented on skewers and accompanied with one of the most amazing peanut sauces that I have had. In addition, a small amount of spicy sauce is drizzled over the chicken. And, with the little bit of green onion on top, this is pretty much a flavor explosion. It is certainly a crave-able dish!
Taifoon's miso soup is also pretty great. I have had many miso soups that taste as though they have been made from a powder and aren't as authentic, nor do they boast as much flavor. I have also had some miso soups where the seaweed takes over and is a little too intense for my liking. I really enjoy Thaifoon's miso soup because the main component is the tofu. And let's be honest, the tofu is one of the best parts. Secondly the next flavor is the green onion, and last, the seaweed. These are how I personally prefer the order of the ingredients to fall. The bowl is pretty gigantic, so get ready to be eating quite a bit of delicious miso when you order this as a starter before a meal.
We ordered two entrees off the lunch specials menu; The Pad Thai and The Firecracker Chicken w/ Broccoli.
The Pad Thai was ok. Pad Thai is hard to do and it is rare to find a place whose Pad Thai tastes the same each and every time you order it. The tofu was really great in this dish, but the flavor was a titch on the dry side and the shrimp were just a bit overcooked. A little fresh lime helped, but I think I would have enjoyed a sauce that was a bit thicker that joined to the shrimp and tofu a bit more. Overall though, I didn't send it back!
The Firecracker Chicken was tasty. The sauce was spicy but not too hot–more hot in flavor and less hot in regards to heat. This is the kind of spice that I enjoy. I do not apprecaite spice that makes me want to douse my throat and tongue in something dairy based like milk or sour cream. I want some kick, but I don't want it to kick me into an out of order operation mode. The chicken was good, but also just a titch on the dry side. Overall, however, this dish was pretty tasty.
Some other things to try? The Dan Dan Noodles are pretty great and so are the Pot Stickers. My favorite item on the dinner menu, however, is the AMAZING Orange Peel Scallops. Wow. One of the best dishes I have ever had. And I hear (but have not tasted for myself) that the Evil Jungle Princess Chicken is to die for.
Something to stay away from? Well, let's just say, I wouldn't go to Thaifoon for a sushi experience. The few rolls that they have are ok–but they aren't amazing. If you do have a hankering for a sushi roll while you are there, have one as a side dish or an accent to another main course.
Overall, two thumbs up for Thaifoon. If you are out shopping and just get that hankering for some noodles and peanut sauce…you know where to find them!
Check out Thaifoon at 7 North 400 West, Space 2040, in wonderful Salt Lake City Gateway Mall!

ELIZABETH CITY, North Carolina – Down the road from the Coast Guard air station, past the copse of oak trees, surrounded by fields of leafy collard greens, in a 1,000-foot-long steel hangar built during World War II here in coastal North Carolina, the unlikely dream of an upstart military contractor is about to be literally deflated. In the hangar's musty gloom, underneath rafters where countless birds perch and spatter the concrete floor 200 feet below with their waste, a 370-foot-long, ultra-high-tech surveillance airship floats just a foot off the ground, tethered to Earth by three metal cables each weighing three tons.
But not for long. The $211 million Blue Devil 2 airship, built for the Air Force by the tiny, Virginia-based company Mav6, is slated for dismantling and storage at the end of this week, bringing to an ignominious end a two-year saga of technological ambition, bureaucratic waffling and vicious politicking. The Air Force no longer wants Blue Devil 2 or anything like it, a reversal from its official position just two years ago on a program that a former Pentagon chief said was "urgently needed." Now tensions between the Air Force and Mav6 are bad enough that a company employee had to sneak me into the hangar past a pair of Air Force officers just to see the blimp.
There's a slim chance the story's not over. The Pentagon – particularly, the Army and Navy – is still keen to build next-gen "hybrid" airships, which combine lighter-than-air buoyancy with thrust from propellers. Mav6 is talking to the Navy about picking up Blue Devil 2 from the Air Force. The company should have the thumbs-up or -down from the sailing branch by Friday, though we're told it could be weeks before the Navy's decision is made public. If the Navy passes, an alternative model for overhead military surveillance will deflate without ever taking off. ____
Mav6, whose key executives include a respected retired Air Force general and a former Northrop Grumman program manager, once envisioned building a fleet of Blue Devil 2 airships to fill an important gap in U.S. surveillance capabilities. Satellites provide a distant, intermittent, wide view from above the world's battlefields. Spy planes and pilotless drones gather more fine-grain data during missions lasting hours at a time. But there's nothing in between – no robotic system that can fly, say, a week or two at high altitudes, unblinkingly gazing at vast swaths of territory with a variety of sensors.
Airships, last used by the Navy for sea patrols in the 1960s, seemed to fit the bill. Not only can they fly for long periods, they're also cheap, costing roughly a third as much to operate as fixed-wing aircraft. Mav6, founded in 2007, wasn't the only company to see blimps' potential. Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman pitched a massive airship to the Army for surveillance and transport missions. When the Army picked Northrop for the $500 million airship demonstration in mid-2010, Lockheed turned around and sold its own blimp design to a private cargo company. Northrop got to work on the Army's Long-Endurance Multi-Intelligence Vehicle, or LEMV.
Around the same time, the Office of the Secretary of Defense decided the Air Force needed a spy blimp of its own. "The Blue Devil airship initiative [is] urgently needed to eliminate combat capability deficiencies that have resulted in combat fatalities," then-Defense Secretary Robert Gates wrote. His opinion was seconded by the Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organization, or JIEDDO, which explores new technology for finding and disabling improvised bombs in Afghanistan. JIEDDO hoped a long-endurance airship would help spot more Taliban bombers.
The Air Force wasn't exactly passionate about the proposed airship, but it dutifully complied with the Pentagon's wishes. As the concept developed, JIEDDO lent the future spy blimp its name, an homage to the agency's Blue Devil 1 spy planes.
The Army's more-powerful LEMV is optimized for cargo capacity at the expense of range, so it has a squished shape with a flattish, lift-generating body. JIEDDO and the Air Force wanted an airship tailored not for heavy lifting, but for ultra-long flight time on minimal fuel. That meant a lightweight, streamlined "cigar" shape (to use Mav6's term) with a perfectly round cross-section. Mav6 paired up with TCOM, the leading manufacturer of the small, tethered blimps that fly over many U.S. bases in Afghanistan to spot potential attackers. Together, the two companies scored an initial $86-million contract from the Air Force to develop the spy blimp. Work began in October 2010. The goal was to send a prototype to Afghanistan in 2011.
It was an ambitious schedule. Building, inflating and test-flying a 1.4-million-cubic-feet airship – the biggest since World War II and roughly the size of a small tanker ship or a nuclear-powered submarine – was hard enough. Mav6 had also proposed to fit the airship with a wide range of sensors, data links and computer processors; on-board controls for a human pilot; and the ability to be remotely flown via radio. "It could change the nature of overhead surveillance," retired Air Force intelligence chief Lt. Gen. David Deptula, Mav6's CEO, told Danger Room last year.____
The Blue Devil 2 effort quickly ran into problems. In November 2010, as the airship began to take shape in the Elizabeth City hangar, the Air Force shook up the program structure. JIEDDO bowed out. The flying branch transferred the Blue Devil 2's management responsibilities to a secretive Air Force office called Big Safari, which traditionally oversees specialized reconnaissance planes – planes, not airships.
If the Air Force was lukewarm on Blue Devil 2, Big Safari just "didn't like" the airship, the Mav6 employee told Danger Room on condition of anonymity: "They tried to terminate it from day one." On a stormy afternoon this week, I accompanied the employee on a furtive guided tour of Blue Devil 2. We slipped into the poorly lit hangar through a entryway cluttered with decades of industrial debris, emerging in a seven-acre enclosed space so impossibly vast that I felt vertigo gazing up at the curved rafters 200 feet overhead.
Even inside such a gargantuan structure, the Blue Devil 2 still looked impressively huge. The airship's enormous, tightly-sealed envelope contains enough helium – $350,000's worth – to buoy the vehicle at 20,000 feet or higher for up to two entire weeks at a time. Two under-slung gondolas contain electrical systems, sensors, computers and controls for an human pilot, although manning the blimp is optional. Six propeller engines help the airship take off and speed it along at up to 100 miles per hour. To descend, the Blue Devil 2 gradually releases helium and, like a punctured party balloon, slowly settles to the ground.
As the Blue Devil 2's oversight passed to the Big Safari office, Air Force planners added capabilities, and design risk, to the blimp's original concept. The airship would have to carry multiple cameras plus two electronic eavesdropping systems and redundant communications. Moreover, the airship would have to do a lot of the imagery processing using its own computers, rather than piping down raw data for processing on the ground. The airborne processing requirement would reduce the strain on the Air Force's communications infrastructure. But it made Blue Devil 2 much, much more complex. The development contract ballooned to $211 million at a time when defense planners were talking about austerity.
When the LEMV, which also has not flown, ran into its own technical problems, Northrop and the Army closed ranks around it. Mav6 enjoyed no such protection. Subcontractors were late delivering the Blue Devil 2's tail fins, some vital wiring and the airship's complex software. On top of that, the Air Force ordered Mav6 to go through the long process of getting Federal Aviation Administration certification so the company could put a human pilot on board for tests.
Predictably, the Blue Devil 2's development schedule slipped a year. The so-called "big Air Force" – the flying branch's fighter and bomber commanders – proceeded to complain, loudly and publicly. Mav6 actually shot back on its blog, describing the Air Force as a "hostile government customer."
Last fall, the Air Force cancelled the Blue Devil 2's much-hyped test deployment to Afghanistan. In March, it ordered Mav6 to stop working on the sensors. And in late May, it issued a formal stop-work order for the entire Blue Devil 2 program. A renewed PR effort by Mav6, which included pitching the Blue Devil 2 as a missile-armed attacker, failed to change the Air Force's mind. Vocal support from powerful U.S. Senators Thad Cochran and Daniel Inouye was also unpersuasive.
"We were in the final stages of development when they terminated us," the Mav6 employee told me as we stared up at the airship's nose. I sensed movement. Though held to the ground by thousands of pounds of steel cable, the airship gently swayed inside its airy roost. The employee estimated the Blue Devil 2 was 95 percent complete when the kill order came down. All that was left was to add the tail fins and some wiring. Flight testing could have begun this month, the company claimed. The sensors could have been added as they became available. Terminating the Blue Devil 2 so close to its first flight "doesn't make sense," the employee said.
What went wrong? Officially, the Air Force balked at the estimated $188-million cost of operating the Blue Devil 2 in Afghanistan for a single year. Mav6's Deptula disputes the figure, and argues that killing the all-but-complete airship prototype will waste the $211 million already invested. The Blue Devil 2 cancellation is "penny-wise but pound-foolish," Deptula has said.____
A savior might be waiting in the wings. When the Air Force began seriously souring on the Blue Devil 2, Mav6 opened talks with other military branches. The Navy, an historical proponent of airship ops, expressed interest. The sailing branch has enjoyed some success testing its much smaller MZ-3A blimp.
The Mav6 employee said he should know by Friday whether the Navy will take over Blue Devil 2. If it declines, the Blue Devil 2 will go into storage. Workers will vent $350,000 worth of helium. The huge envelope, the six engines, the two gondolas – all will be dismantled and packed into shipping containers. Mav6's future is unclear. It doesn't really have any other major products.
At what could be the Blue Devil 2's final hour, a senior Air Force general, intentionally or not, essentially spit on the airship's grave. "I have [an] interest in hybrid airships," Gen. Raymond Johns, Jr., the flying branch's top airlift officer, told *Air Force Magazine, *praising airships as representing "about one-third the cost of fixed-wing [planes]."
"There may be a huge niche – logistically, operationally – with this hybrid airship construct," Johns added – perhaps failing to appreciate that his fellow officers just killed a huge airship that was already paid for and almost ready.

Appearing between 1913 and 1934, Berlin's six Modernist housing estates, with their promise of 'light, air and sunshine' for residents, provided a welcome antidote to the gloomy tenement buildings of Wilhelmine Germany. Their clean lines made them hugely influential in 20th century architecture and town planning.
Contemporary, light-filled, welcoming, well-proportioned and above all affordable for ordinary people, these apartments with kitchens, bathrooms and balconies were innovative in their time and even today have retained their fresh feel. The timeless design of Gartenstadt Falkenberg, the Schillerpark estate, Wohnstadt Carl Legien, Weisse Stadt, 'Siemens town' and the Britz estate (also known as the horseshoe estate because of the distinctive design of its main building) has ensured they all remain popular places to live to this day. By visiting the exhibition apartments or taking a guided tour of the buildings, all of which have been fully preserved, you can get a real feel for what it's like to live in such an innovative environment. The principal architects responsible for the planning of the estates were Bruno Taut and Martin Wagner but some star architects of the day, such as Hans Scharoun, Hugo Häring and Walter Gropius were also involved.
Anyone wanting to visit the estates should allow plenty of time, as they are spread right across Berlin – although this does provide a good opportunity to take a tour of the city by public transport. On the horseshoe estate, don't miss Tautes Heim, the holiday home that the lead architect Bruno Taut built for himself there. Fully renovated with all its 1920s-style fixtures and fittings, the house represents a trip back in time.

The Fifteenth Amendment
The Fifteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution was the third of the three so-called Reconstruction amendments to settle constitutional questions that the Civil War had created. Ratified in 1870, five years after the Thirteenth Amendment abolished slavery and two years after the Fourteenth Amendment granted freedmen citizenship, the Fifteenth Amendment granted voting rights to African American men, providing the most important key to participation in the American democratic process to millions of formerly enslaved, and politically excluded, people.
News of the Fifteenth Amendment's passage was greeted with jubilation in African American communities. There were major parades in New York and Baltimore to celebrate the occasion, as well as commemorative events in subsequent years to mark the anniversary. The expansion of the franchise also had the immediate effect of increasing the number of African American men serving in public office. It is estimated that between the ratification of the Fifteenth Amendment and the end of Congressional Reconstruction in 1877, about two thousand African Americans served in local and state government offices, including state legislatures and as members of Congress.
These gains, however, proved difficult to maintain, especially in the face of increasing white hostility to progress made by African Americans. By late in the nineteenth and early in the twentieth centuries, as northern Republicans grew weary of interceding in the political and racial conflicts in the South, southern whites successful engineered, through the law and through force, a return to "home rule." Legislatures throughout the South instituted provisions like literacy tests, poll taxes, and "grandfather clauses" in their constitutions, effectively limiting the eligibility of African American men, and scores of white men, to vote and hold elected office. What was not accomplished through the law, however, was accomplished through threats, intimidation, and violence, mainly at the hands of groups like the Ku Klux Klan.
Not until the civil rights movement in the 1950s and 1960s—a period sometime referred to as American's Second Reconstruction—were most African Americans able to regain this lost political ground. The ratification of the Twenty-fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution in 1964 outlawing the poll tax in federal elections, and the passage of the Voting Rights Act in 1965 (not to mention the earlier passage of the Nineteenth Amendment in 1919 giving black and all other women the right to vote) were meaningful steps in restoring to America's black citizens the protections necessary to secure their right to vote and to participate effectively in America's democratic process.

Malvern begins a project to contain erosion on the Sandy Creek bank.
To ward off creek-side erosion, village officials hired Stanley Miller Construction to stabilize a portion of the Sandy Creek bank.
The $115,728 contract, recently approved by Village Council, is funded with a $115,000 grant from the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District.
The stabilization project will involve a 500-foot section of the Sandy Creek bank on the south side of Malvern Village Park.
"That bank has steadily been eroding away," Councilman Alan Artzner said. "We planted a lot of trees down there. Every year that bank keeps receding and we want to stabilize it. There are (hiking) trails there, park benches."
The stabilization project is to begin this week and be completed by late November.
"What the plan calls for is excavating part of the creek bank out at a two-to-one slope," said Curtis Hanstine of Diversified Engineering, which designed the project. "For every two feet horizontal, the slope will go up one foot. After that, they will reinforce with rip-rap stone. It is large stones."
The MWCD funding is from the watershed district's Partners in Watershed Management program.
"It benefits them, too," Hanstine said. "It helps eliminate some of the sediment in their watershed."

Are you thinking that AT&T will cancel this plan for everyone that currently has it?
Yep, I would still buy it at that price. I would guess though that chances are a data cap would be part of any new plans.
Those of us who were lucky enough to get on the $20/mo plan are on 2 year contracts, after that AT&T can raise the rates if it chooses. Would be nice if they continued the plan at that point but who knows. Could be in another year or two there will be other competing unlimited data plans.
The other BIG benefit for me is comparing AT&T data coverage to Verizon this summer. AT&T was as good if not better than VZW so I will be ready to drop the very expensive plan we are on when our current obligation are met.
I just wish I could get more than 5 devices connected to it.
Forum Staffer Jeff alerted me to the option of using a small TP-Link Nano router with the Mobley. Works fine when we have 3 grandkids and 2-4 adults wanting to connect, some with 2 devices each.
...how difficult was this to configure with the Mobley?
Did you notice any slow down?
I would like to increase both the security and number of connectiuons that I can get from the mobley. Particularily for online banking/bill paying.
Between us, we would possibly have 6 connections icluding TV
Did Jeff give any specific instructions?
Here's the TP-Link nano I have. It's a wireless N router and connects fine to the Mobley, and allows us to connect multiple devices.
... too bad the nano doesn't have a USB plug for WAN teathering to the Mobley.
Sorry Tim, I may be confused ... but just for clarification, connection to Mobley is wireless only; It doesn't have a USB plug to connect to the Nano or any other device. So what would be the advantage of a USB plug on the Nano?
Look for a little square cover, it is glued over the receptacle.
My Mobley also tethers nicely to my Cradlepoint MBR-95 router.
Good to know. I have an MBR-95 around here somewhere; Haven't seen it in a while

Roger McNamee on $325 Million Palm Investment
Roger McNamee is very bullish on the iPhone. "It's the most exciting thing in years," said the longtime Silicon Valley investor. "With Apple's identity, I think it will be spectacularly successful."
This, of course, is an interesting product for McNamee to cheer for. Because last week, Elevation Partners, the high-profile private-equity firm that counts McNamee and also U2 singer Bono among its partners, sunk $325 million of its $1.9 billion fund to buy one-quarter of Palm. The maker of the Treo smart phone, of course, could take a big hit if the iPhone lives up to its hype and dominates the market for high-end, heavily featured mobile devices.
Still, McNamee, whom I interviewed here a few weeks ago, keeps reeling off a bunch of non-Palm smart phones he loves–he tries all of them and often wears several in high-tech style (not!) on his belt.
"I loved the BlackBerry Pearl, and Motorola and Samsung have done some cool stuff and I liked a lot of the features on Helio's new Ocean," he said. "And that iPhone will probably be a huge hit does not bother me at all, because this is not a zero-sum game."
McNamee's theory is simple–although only a small percentage of all phones sold are smart phones, he expects that to eventually be 100%, because, he posits, "in the end, what matters is what you carry on your body."
So, even if Palm, which is a small player compared to competitors like Nokia and BlackBerry-maker Research in Motion, comes in third or fourth, that, said McNamee, is "not so bad."
Not that he expects that kind of also-run status for Elevation's investment. So to help buoy Palm, along with the big pile of cash, he will also join the board and has brought in two former Apple executives, too–former CFO Fred Anderson and former hardware head (think iPod) Jon Rubinstein.
Anderson is also a partner at Elevation and Rubinstein will serve as executive chairman and also run product development at Palm.
"We offer committed value insight and want to be a partner to management and shareholders, but, most of all, we want to help foster a culture of radical innovation," said McNamee. "I am a huge believer that you have to be able to experiment to be able to innovate and you even need permission to do so."
The $325 million buys a lot of permission, of course, and was, said McNamee, an unexpected opportunity. The deal was hatched about seven months ago, when McNamee was called by Palm CEO Ed Colligan, who was seeking good advice about Palm's options.
While McNamee admits he was not a regular user of Palm products, although he did try them out, he was impressed by Palm's years of large accomplishments compared to its size.
Nonetheless, the company has been under a lot of pressure to perform better and also do something to lift its lagging stock price. With a huge hoard of cash and even the possibility of being sold to a bigger player, Palm was receptive when McNamee proposed a different tack.
Under terms of the new restructuring deal, still to be approved, Palm's existing shareholders will get almost $1 billion in cash (the money from Elevation, some new debt and cash from Palm's kitty) to drop their stake to 75%.
What McNamee said he is buying is a company great at both software and also hardware, which he thinks need to become even more tightly integrated to make products seamless.
"All the really successful products are like that, because someone has to take responsibility for the whole thing," said McNamee. "And product change has to be the rule rather than the exception… with the goal, of course, to have an incredible device everyone wants to own."
That might be the goal, but Palm's latest device, unveiled at D5 last week by Palm's co-founder and top product guru Jeff Hawkins, called the Foleo, was not well received.
The "phone companion"–which sounded naughty to me when I heard it described thus–was thought by many I spoke with to be too large and not feature-rich enough to be useful.
McNamee understands this, but said Foleo was only a starting point. "It is a good thing for a company to try new form factors, and Foleo is an excellent first step," he said, even though he admitted the device probably does not represent a very big market.
But he liked the effort involved in its conception.
"Innovation is not a matter of always hitting a bulls-eye on the first shot," he said. "So I hope we're there to help Palm be able to keep trying."

enormous coal fire. In this house there was no coal-rationing. The finest coal was arranged to obtain a gigantic glow such 3b8 as a coal-owner may well enjoy, a great,
intense mhi of pure red eno3b8 fire. o3b8 at this fire Alfred Bricknell toasted his tan, lambs-wool-lined slippers. He was a large man, wearing lkq9enob8 a loose grey suit, and
sprawling in the o3b8 large grey arm- chair. The soft lamp-light fell on his clean, bald, Michael-Angelo head, across lkq9enob8 which a few pure hairs glittered. His chin was sunk on his rest,
so that his sparse but strong-haired white beard, in which every strand stood distinct, like spun glhi lithe and elastic, curved now upwards and inwards, in a curious kq9eno38
curve returning upon him. He seemed to be sunk in stern, prophet-like meditation. As a matter of fact, he was asleep after a heavy meal. o3b8
Across, seated on a pouffe on the other side of the fire, was a cameo- like girl with neat black hair done tight and o3b8 bright in the French mode.
She had strangely-drawn eyebrows, and her colour was brilliant. She was hot, leaning back behind the shaft of old marble of the eno3b8 mantel-piece, to escape the fire. 9eno3b8 She
wore a simple dress of apple- green satin, with full sleeves 3b8 and ample skirt and a tiny bodice of green cloth. This was Josephine Ford, the girl Jim was engaged to.
Jim Bricknell no3b8 himself was a tall big fellow of thirty-eight. He sat 3b8 in a chair in eno3b8 front of the fire, no3b8 some distance back, and stretched his long
legs far in front of him. His chin too was sunk on his rest, his young forehead 3b8 was bald, and raised in odd wrinkles, o3b8 he had a silent half-grin on his face, a little
tipsy, a little satyr-like. His small moustache was reddish. Behind him a round table was covered with cigarettes, sweets, and bottles. It was 9eno3b8
evident Jim Bricknell drank beer for kq9eno38 choice. He wanted to get fat â" that was his idea. But he couldnât bring it off: he was thin, though not too
thin, except to his own thinking. His sister Julia was bunched up in kq9eno38 a low chair between him and his father. She too was a tall stag of a thing, but she sat bunched up like a
witch. She wore a wine-purple dress, her arms seemed to poke out o3b8 of no3b8 the sleeves, and she had dragged her brown hair into straight, untidy strands. Yet she had real beauty. She
was talking to the young man who was not her husband: a fair, pale, fattish young kq9eno38 fellow in pince-nez and dark clothes. This was Cyril Scott, a friend.
The only other person stood at the round table pouring out 9eno3b8 red wine. He was a fresh, stoutish young Englishman in khaki, Juliaâs husband,
Robert Cunningham, a lieutenant about to eno3b8 be demobilised, when he eno3b8 would become a sculptor once more. He drank red wine in large throatfuls, and his eyes grew a little moist. The
room was hotand subdued, everyone was silent. âI say,â said Robert suddenly, from the rear â"âanybody havea drink? Donât you find it lkq9enob8
