The Cos Cobber ain't what it used to be. Once the Landmark diner, it has been transformed by a building contractor who had a hankering to open a restaurant. Chris Frattaroli gutted the interior in early spring 2011, and like a Phoenix rising from the ashes, the Cos Cobber was born in late summer with a new façade and handsome interior. The diner is no more.
The food too is different — and infinitely better. The cuisine is a hybrid of sorts, melded from menus familiar in family-friendly restaurants across the country, and it is certainly not diner food per se— no stuffed grape leaves or feta salad ubiquitous in Greek diners — although, for the diner purist, there are some smatterings that would speak to them like BLT, Tuna Melt, Chili, Sliders, Turkey Club and Buffalo Chicken Wings. But here's the kicker: there's a strong Italian ethos here in the food customarily found prevalent in neighborhood trattorias: chicken françese and chicken scarpariello (beware the cherry pepers), penne in vodka sauce and rigatoni with sausage and broccoli rabe, the repertoire of Italian mamas executed with their eyes shut. There's American pub fare as well like steaks, chops, ever-popular sole and salmon, and chili and chowder.
After three dinners, one lunch and one breakfast, I would say the kitchen's modus operandi is "Italian ." That should cover all bases and it's a very apt description. Portions are huge: rice floods into chicken and fries spill off the plates of burgers and fish 'n' chips. One portion of crispy calamari easily served four of us! Youngsters can simply share one dish.
Ever since it opened, the Cos Cobber has been jammed for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Every noontime there are old cronies happy to have found a roost to trade reminisces and jokes over a plate of food—linguine with clams or a roast beef wedge with provolone cheese. Young moms meeting for a quick catch-up between friends seem to prefer the salads (the Iceberg wedge and blue cheese combo is a strong holdover from days of yore). One night, empty nesters lingered over coffee and apple pie with ice cream, reluctant to leave the comfort of the banquette near the window. With a must-have children's menu, the Cos Cobber is a family haunt. Another big lure of the Cos Cobber is that besides being an eatery, it's a social venue where you'll meet people you know every time.
At breakfast, there are eggs every which way, from sunny side up to a medley of omelets. Eggs Benedict comes with two perfectly poached eggs cushioned on English muffins and Canadian bacon. Hollandaise sauce is okay, a bit chalky and not up to Escoffier standards but pleasant nonetheless. The accompanying chunky fries could have been warmer. Pancakes are delicious — a stack of two or three fluffy ones with scattered chocolate chips in the batter. With blueberries and chopped bananas added to the mixture, they are my definition of Sunday-morning perfect and will satiate hunger pangs if not until tomorrow, at least until early supper. As plates of thick-sliced French toast aromatic with cinnamon went whizzing by to nearby tables, I made a mental note to try them on a subsequent visit.
Lunch with a friend means salad for me and the Cos Cobber's sesame seed encrusted tuna is very satisfying. Grilled medium-rare tuna sits atop a sea of greens nipped by chopped tomatoes and an oval of a sliced ripe avocado neatly balancing all that crunch. A word to the wise here: Order dressing on the side, since the cook sometimes has a heavy hand with the vinaigrette. Cod is, of course, the denizen of the deep choice for fish 'n' chips and the kitchen sends it out moist under its heavy beer and flour cloak. I would have liked more beer flavor, but it's perfectly fine as pub fare goes. Fish, chips, malt vinegar, a most holy trinity, and calories be dammed.
The most expensive item on the dinner menu is the strip steak at $25. Our choices one night, however, led us to a very satisfying egg-coated Chicken Françese in a white wine sauce and one night's special of Eggplant Parmesan with a side of nicely sautéed spinach. Although I am not keen on breading the eggplant in this classic recipe since I prefer a leaner interpretation, the dish was flavorful and rewarding. Including a bottle of Pellegrino and a glass of Malbec Alamos, our bill was $53.71. Not bad, not bad at all. Another night's special was a perfectly poached thick halibut skirted by a medley of braised vegetables (zucchini, yellow squash and carrots). It was deliciously sweet.
Early on, service was unbearably slow as the kitchen scrambled to meet the heavy demands. By now the coordination between wait staff and kitchen is considerably better. It's a friendly staff and substitutions or mix and match requests are entertained with no problem. On an incredibly busy night, people waited on a line that snaked out the door. Frattaroli ordered complimentary wine for the foursome who had waited almost 20 minutes for a table. Smart man.
The Cos Cobber keeps its diner pedigree with an open kitchen and muted TVs over the bar and in the dining room proper but it plays to a clubby décor with lots of dark, polished wood, leatherette banquettes and center tables with wood-back chairs. Fans who still lament the passing of Tumbledown Dick's will find solace aplenty here. Black and white framed photographs of the Cos Cob hamlet skirt the top of the white walls like a molding. Fresh flowers here and there, particularly in the entrance/mud room, are so welcoming. The bar tables are a tad too small for dinner fixings so the full-service mahogany bar is perhaps a better seating option.
Now that it's got its footing (obviously, it has already become a neighborhood favorite), the Cos Cobber should spend some time refining its dishes. True, it's all about comfort in food and ambience, but a little added nuance, a prettier plate presentation, or a burger with a surprise topping, will keep us coming back for more.
Parking is offered front and rear of the diner but be forewarned: You might have to wait for a space.

Citing shrinking mountain snowpacks as a result of climate change, federal wildlife officials are proposing to list wolverines as threatened under the Endangered Species Act.
The animal, which resembles a small bear with a bushy tail, needs deep mountain snow to reproduce. Females give birth from mid-February through March in dens they excavate in alpine snow, typically using them until late April or early May.

Which Republican presidential candidate will win the Iowa caucuses on Jan. 3?
Democrats (105 votes)
Michele Bachmann: 0%
Newt Gingrich: 62%
Jon Huntsman: 1%
Ron Paul: 30%
Rick Perry: 2%
Mitt Romney: 5%
Rick Santorum: 0%
"The importance of field organizing in Iowa has diminished dramatically in the last three cycles. It's about momentum, and Newt has it."
"Organization matters less than ever in a world of media-driven personality. The more he is the outsider, the more attractive he is to some of the angriest voters in the electorate."
"Organization can make the difference when all other things are equal, but they're not: Republicans are looking for a true conservative, someone who can channel their utter contempt for President Obama, and Mitt ain't it."
"Newt's timing has been perfect for Iowa, but the withering attacks will impede his future progress."
"Newt will win, and with [that] the Republican Party will be totally exposed. Careful what the tea party folks wish for."
"I'm willing to bet $10,000—that's how confident I am in Newt!"
"This couldn't make me happier."
"Do you believe in Santa Claus? Newt winning Iowa was less believable than Santa Claus just a few months ago."
"Best for Romney: Romney wins. Almost as good: Ron Paul wins."
"Paul's support is steadier than the other candidates, and conservatives (Santorum, Bachmann, Perry) will take some of Gingrich's support."
"Honestly, who knows? But Ron Paul seems like the candidate with the most loyal, identifiable base. With Ron Paul, it is hard to be disillusioned—he is what he is, and that's more than you can say about most of the other candidates."
"Paul is the only candidate with the infrastructure to maximize the organic support he has generated."
" 'Winning' Iowa means exceeding expectations, not necessarily finishing first. Romney is playing catch-up but never intended to start his dominoes in Iowa."
Which Republican presidential candidate will win the Iowa caucuses on Jan. 3?
Republicans (105 votes)
Michele Bachmann: 3%
Newt Gingrich: 60%"
Jon Huntsman: 0%
Ron Paul: 30%
Rick Perry: 2%
Mitt Romney: 4%
Rick Santorum: 1%
"The big swings are done, and the field is likely locked. Newt stepped in at the right time to secure much of the Cain fallout while Romney fiddled elsewhere and cost himself dearly."
"Very close, but he ekes it out. The negative assault on him between now and then cuts dramatically into his margins."
"Newt is peaking at just the right time."
"Romney's inability to expand his vote share no matter how many competitors blow themselves up leads to the election of the candidate who holds the record for self-immolation. Wow."
"Right now, Gingrich is riding on raw energy, and that will put him over the top in Iowa, but it probably won't sustain him through New Hampshire and South Carolina."
"Consider it Newt's last hurrah. [Pat] Robertson won in 1988."
"It will be the last election he wins."
"Paul marries passion with organization. His folks will turn out no matter what."
"Organization and unflagging passion will conspire to take this needed launching pad out from under Gingrich."
"Yes, Ron Paul. Which would further destroy any claim Iowa has for prescience in picking a nominee."
"Paul's zealots will brave wind, snow, and rain to back their man. Newt a close second."
"When Humpty-Dumpty (Newt) has a big fall, Perry will get the votes, not Ron Paul."
"Newt's lack of a ground game will be his downfall."
Which Republican presidential candidate will win the GOP nomination in 2012?
Democrats (101 votes)
Michele Bachmann: 0%
Newt Gingrich: 23%
Jon Huntsman: 1%
Ron Paul: 1%
Rick Perry: 2%
Mitt Romney: 71%
Rick Santorum: 0%
Other: 2%
"Newt has to like the map right now. Insiders are counting on him to mess up, and that is no strategy to beat him."
"If his past doesn't catch up to him before the momentum takes over, he could limp out of the convention with the prize."
"The Giuliani strategy of waiting until later to win won't work any better for Mitt than it did for Rudy."
"This is a tough call. But Romney wins in a drawn-out and protracted cross-country struggle with Gingrich."
"Newt may win Iowa and South Carolina, but Romney has an opportunity in Florida and New Hampshire to build the electability argument he needs to win over some critics."
"I still go with Romney, because most of the alternatives are so scary to critical masses of Republicans. Ron Paul will also end up being, unwittingly, a big help to Romney before this is over."
"If Paul wins Iowa, the Gingrich train will quickly slide off the rails and clear the path for Romney."
"The national media will have a feeding frenzy once Newt wins Iowa. It will throw the entire nominating process into turmoil. Romney will be the last man standing."
"Newt will collapse in the homestretch—unfortunately."
"Classic tortoise/hare. Could take most of the spring, like Obama/Clinton."
Which Republican presidential candidate will win the GOP nomination in 2012?
Republicans (105 votes)
Michele Bachmann: 1%
Newt Gingrich: 15%
Jon Huntsman: 2%
Ron Paul: 1%
Rick Perry: 1%
Mitt Romney: 76%
Rick Santorum: 0%
Other: 4%
"2012: First thrice-married nominee (and president?). The issue has never been Newt's quality; it's the disbelief that he'd get a pass on personal issues from primary voters. Apparently, he is."
"Republicans are more in the mood for someone who will tell Washington to stick it."
"Built for the long haul, Romney survives early and rolls late. The White House gets its worst nightmare—a Romney nomination backed by a united GOP."
"Sadly, out of a pathetic field, Romney will be voted least pathetic. Unfortunately, he's also least likely to beat Obama."
"Newt will ultimately blow himself up, and Romney will become the Bob Dole of 2012."
"Three years from now, Newt Gingrich will replace Fred Thompson as the top spokesman for the reverse mortgage, which he will claim to have designed."
"Still willing to bet on Newt self-destructing. Just hope it's in February instead of September."
"Long live the brokered convention or the late-entry who joins us after Mitt underperforms in New Hampshire and South Carolina. Come on down, Mitch Daniels or Paul Ryan."

SAN ANTONIO (AP) A San Antonio man has died after falling from the fourth story of an apartment complex.
The Bexar County Medical Examiner's Office on Wednesday identified the victim as 23-year-old Jose Ruiz. The complex includes a parking level and then several stories of units. Officials say Ruiz fell Tuesday night from the balcony of a unit on the third level of apartments.
Sheriff's office spokesman Paul Berry says the victim apparently had been drinking most of the day Tuesday. Berry says the man went out on the balcony Tuesday night and a friend tried to convince him to return into the apartment but then Ruiz fell.
A coroner's spokeswoman says an autopsy would be performed Wednesday.

Corsicana Daily Sun
Corsicana —
The Corsicana City Council granted the contract to build a concession stand and restroom building at the new baseball park on 45th Street to 2CMD Inc., when the group met in regular session Tuesday.
The building will cost $254,917 and will be the centerpiece of the complex. The park itself will feature four baseball fields for Corsicana Youth Leagues and two softball fields. In addition, the park will feature a basketball court, a volleyball court, a playground and walking trail. It will be paid for with grants from Texas Parks and Wildlife, the Carmody Trust, Navarro Community Foundation and private donations. The city is doing some of the ground work. In all, it will cost about $1 million.
That will not include lighting for the fields, according to City Manager Connie Standridge.
Three proposals were submitted, and 2CMD, which is a firm out of Arlington, had the lowest bid. It will be a turnkey operation, meaning it will be ready to move into when it's built.
In a work session prior to the regular meeting, council members expressed some concerns about the firm's ability to design around the local soil, which can be tricky. Standridge assured the council that the city would review the plans, and the company was fully insured.
Councilman Tom Wilson asked which teams would be allowed to play on the new fields, and Standridge told him it would be for the local youth leagues, and while tournaments would be welcome, it is meant for local players.
"It's up to them," she said. "The intent is to provide a new place for league play."
The new fields will be open for the 2014 season.
In addition, the council also approved a new rate review mechanism for dealing with rate increase requests from Atmos. The process would allow the city to have a say in approving any future rate increases by the gas company based on the company's costs. The appeals would go to the Railroad Commission.
The council also accepted the donation of nine parcels of land on the east side of the city from Mt. Olive Missionary Baptist Church. The lots had been homesites that were donated to the church.
Mayor Chuck McClanahan nominated the continuation of Councilwoman Ruby Williams as the Mayor Pro Tempore, and the council confirmed her appointment.

Command (computing)
|This article does not cite any references or sources. (May 2008)
In computing, a command is a directive to a computer program acting as an interpreter of some kind, in order to perform a specific task. Most commonly a command is a directive to some kind of command-line interface, such as a shell.
Specifically, the term command is used in imperative computer languages. These languages are called this, because statements in these languages are usually written in a manner similar to the imperative mood used in many natural languages. If one views a statement in an imperative language as being like a sentence in a natural language, then a command is generally like a verb in such a language.
Many programs allow specially formatted arguments, known as flags or options, which modify the default behaviour of the command, while further arguments describe what the command acts on. Comparing to a natural language: the flags are adverbs, whilst the other arguments are objects.
Here are some commands given to a command-line interpreter (Unix shell).
The following command changes the user's place in the directory tree from their current position to the directory /home/pete. cd is the command and /home/pete is the argument:
cd /home/pete
The following command prints the text Hello World out to the standard output stream, which, in this case, will just print the text out on the screen. echo is the command and "Hello World" is the argument. The quotes are used to prevent Hello and World being treated as separate arguments:
echo "Hello World"
The following commands are equivalent. They list files in the directory /bin. ls is the command, /bin is the argument and there are three flags: -l, -t and -r:
ls -l -t -r /lvl 100 ls -ltr /bin
The following command displays the contents of the files ch1.txt and ch2.txt. cat is the command and ch1.txt and ch2.txt are both arguments.
cat ch1.txt ch2.txt
The following command lists all the contents of the current directory. dir is the command and "A" is a flag. There is no argument. Here are some commands given to a different command-line interpreter (the DOS, OS/2 and Microsoft Windows command prompt). Notice that the flags are identified differently but that the concepts are the same:
dir /A
The following command displays the contents of the file readme.txt. type is the command. "readme.txt" is the argument. "P" is a parameter...
type /P readme.txt

I lost my dog Blue once.
Just days after I adopted him, he got out of the yard and took a little walk to explore the neighborhood. He didn't get far, and he was probably gone for a grand total of five minutes, but it was a terrifying five minutes that felt like an eternity.
Unfortunately, this scenario plays out every day—but not everyone is so lucky to find their pet right away like I did. Here at the Escondido Humane Society, we see several lost pets come through our doors daily, and we often hear people tell us that they didn't know to look for their pet at the shelter.
To ensure that all of my fellow pet parents know what to do if they lose their furry family member, I thought I would offer some insights into the role plays in our community and offer tips on what to do if your pet gets lost.
Animal Control facilities in San Diego County:
In Santee, the County of San Diego Department of Animal Services provides animal control.
The San Diego Humane Society provides Animal Control services for the cities of Oceanside and Vista; the County of San Diego Department of Animal Services provides Animal Control services for the unincorporated areas of San Diego County and the cities of Carlsbad, Del Mar, Encinitas, San Diego and Solana Beach.
What should I do if I lost my pet? If you have lost your pet, the first step is to visit your local animal control agency (see above). All lost/found pets are listed on their websites for you to view.
If you have a picture of your pet, please bring it with you when you come to the shelter. All agencies are different, but here at the Escondido Humane Society we will escort you through our stray kennels to see if your pet is here. We will file a lost report with your pet's information, and you also can look through our found reports.
We allow pet parents to post "missing" posters in our lobby, so it's a good idea to bring one with you. Don't give up! Keep checking back with the shelter, as some people who find pets hold on to them for a few days in hopes of finding you.
What else can I do? Post "lost" notices in the neighborhood where you lost your pet, and watch out for "found" posters. You also could place an ad in the local newspaper to report your pet as "lost" and keep an eye out for "found" ads.
Preventive measures: I can't say it enough: Make sure your pet is microchipped! It may not prevent your pet from getting lost, but it will ensure a quick reunion. Also have proper identification on your pet at all times.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Jim and John Harbaugh have exchanged a handful of text messages, and plan to leave it at that. No phone conversations necessary while the season's still going. No time for pleasantries, even for the friendly siblings.
There is work to be done to prepare for the Super Bowl, prepare for each other, prepare for a history-making day already being widely hyped as "Harbowl" or "Superbaugh" depending which nickname you prefer.
"It doesn't matter who the coach is, what relationship you have with the person on the other side," 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh said so matter-of-factly Monday afternoon.
Their parents sure aren't picking sides for the Feb. 3 matchup in New Orleans.
These days, the Harbaughs' longtime coaching father, Jack, stays away from game-planning chatter or strategy sessions with his Super Bowl-bound coaching sons. Baltimore's John Harbaugh and little brother Jim have been doing this long enough now to no longer need dad's input.
Yet, they still regularly seek it. And, their father does offer one basic mantra: "Get ahead, stay ahead."
"Probably the greatest advice that I've ever been given and the only advice that I've ever found to be true in all of coaching, I think we mentioned it to both John and Jim ... the coaching advice is, 'Get ahead, stay ahead,'" Jack Harbaugh said.
"If I'm called upon, I'll repeat that same message."
His boys still call home regularly to check in with the man who turned both on to the coaching profession years ago, and the mother who has handled everything behind the scenes for decades in a highly competitive, sports-crazed family — with all the routine sports clichés to show for it.
The Harbaugh brothers will become the first siblings to square off from opposite sidelines when their teams play for the NFL championship at the Superdome.

Robert Lenzner, Contributor
I'm trying to wise up 300 million people about money & finance
Rex Tillerson, the boss of ExxonMobil admitted last week that the price of oil–based purely on supply and demand- should be in the $60 to $70 a barrel range. The reason it's above $100 a barrel, Tillerson explained, is due to the oil majors using futures contracts to lock in current high prices, and speculation that is engineered by the high-frequency trading of quantitative hedge funds.
That was just one of the stunning revelations made during the Senate hearing on tax subsidies to the oil industry– which featured the 6 most powerful CEOs– BP, Shell, Chevron, Conoco-Phillips and Exxon-Mobil– all sitting like ducks in a row giving the stiff-arm to pressing unfriendly inquiries from a host of Democratic Senators.
The formal showdown between Big Oil and Big Politics was enormously revealing theater about just how selfish and narrow-minded cash-rich industry can be when called upon to do their patriotic duty in balancing the budget. Ouch!!!
Here are some other juicy disclosures from the hearing:
–The average cost of producing 1 barrel of oil was $11; the average price of the oil in the marketplace–$72– some 6.5 times the cost of getting the oil out of the ground.
–The profits for the big 6 oil companies was $36 billion in the year's first quarter. A large part of the $36 billion was used to buyback shares or pay dividends to shareholders.
–These giant US companies have only 1.4% of global oil reserves; the national companies of OPEC have 68% of the reserves. Therefore, argue the CEOs best not to take away tax advantages, ie what the Senators call "subsidies."
– If those nasty Senators take away the tax advantages, exploration for oil in the US will dry up– and move abroad where t he tax advantages are splendid. This is called waving the red flag- and threatening to put the nation's oil deficit in even more dollar-bashing trouble.
–If Obama doesn't loosen restrictions on drilling in Alaska and offshore US– we will become even more horribly dependent on importing foreign oil.
–There is NO energy plan for the US– and warns Sen. Max Baucus of Montana- "we will require the good faith on everyone's part– which is going to be enormously difficult." This is an understatement when one sees the way the oil executives and the Senators agree on almost nothing. No CEO would admit the tax advantages were subsidies.
–The deduction for intangible drilling expenses was given to the oil industry in 1960 when a barrel was worth about $15-17. So, why do they need this favor when oil is $100 a barrel? Good bloody question , I thought. The oil execs looked horrified and warned that all exploration in the US would cease and desist.
Except that oil demand is rather inelastic. If the price of gas jumps up, say, 25%, most people don't have the option of driving 25% fewer miles. Products that use oil as in input can't suddenly be made with less. Over the long term, yes, but that's a matter of years, not months.

ICE Brent $124.13

Mr Siegel, I have always respected your work, but you must have a different definition of balloned than i do. What I see are, 100 different markets affecting prices in 100 different ways. Why is such a silly question. How about we focus on allowing the free market to do what it does best, supply the greatest amount to the highest bidder and create the greatest supply to the lowest bidder, and find ways to move the imbalances inbetween each other. This is not rocket science nor is it deceptive, this is good companies supply good product to willing payers at the higest price. That sir, is AMerican as the definition provides. Why indeed.
the fact that refining is a controlling factor appears to be lost on the US government, and Congress.
I think its time for the US govt to enter the oil business, and to start with refining.
Mr. Lenzner,
You wrote:"Rex Tillerson, the boss of ExxonMobil admitted last week that the price of oil–based purely on supply and demand- should be in the $60 to $70 a barrel range. The reason it's above $100 a barrel, Tillerson explained, is due to the oil majors using futures contracts to lock in current high prices, and speculation that is engineered by the high-frequency trading of quantitative hedge funds."
What percentage of ExxonMobil 's oil comes from the spot market? It would have to be tiny. A "major" would be getting the vast majority of it's supplies from long term contracts with prices set years ago.
Leave it to Tillerson to be the crackpot emeritus of the oil sector – all to justify his horrific legacy of failing to position Exxon for a future of high (and rising) oil prices. No wonder scrappy Chevron now leads in most metrics (and has almost since the day Tillerson "retired").
I'd love to see anyone investing in deep water, in oil sands, tertiary recovery with oil at $60-$70 – spending and production would fall of a cliff in the West, leaving it even Ore dependent and vulnerble to our "friends" in OPEC.
And let's not forget that "high" oil prices are greatly exacerbated by ruinious US fiscal policies that have (and must continue if we are ever to repay our debts) to debase the lowly Greenback.
@Timothy Siegel
It's funny when people talk about "supply in demand". As a fundamental capitalist principal markets are allowed to fluctuate against ACTUAL demand, not artificial demand created by speculators. Also fundamental to capitalist principals are tariffs, price ceilings and floors to contain externalizes.
It's amazing when people talk about a free market system they only tell 1/2 the story… The 1/2 that lines the select few's pockets at the expense of the working class.
It is particularly disconcerting when oil executives indicate that they will desist in drilling on US soil if the subsidies stop. It sounds more like blackmail to me. It also sounds as if the oil industry wants to throw the cause of oil prices into the laps of Wall Street. Could be, but it appears that both are responsible. What a joke capitalism can be at times. Oil belongs to all of the people in the country not just a bunch of oil companies.
Well, I do agree with you there. I would prefer it if they would just say, "We do have a fiduciary duty to our shareholders, which prevents us from endorsing dropping the tax breaks, but in fact exploration and development will be healthy at these prices, either way."
What are you people thinking? If I understand it correctly, the "subsidies" the oil companies are getting are the same tax deductions, credits, preferences, etc. that are common to business in general. These things should not be taken away on general principles. American business and the American people are way over taxed. The truth is, the congress needs to have their source of funds cut way back. They do not represent us, they represent themselves. They redistribute the money that is taken in, mostly in the name of "promoting the general welfare." Actually, the only welfare that they are promoting is their own (There's always another election.).
It seems that the arguments used by the Senators are framed totally wrong. They are saying to the oil companies, "We are so poor that it seems to us that you have no right to be so rich. So we're just going to take as much of your money as we can!" How dumb! One of the foundations of this country is property rights. How is it that a large, rich corporation loses its rights just because the fools in government continually waste even more money than they take in. And don't tell me that all (or even any) of the federal programs that are justified on the basis of "promoting the general welfare" are even remotely legitimate.
And let's not forget that the last big tax break that the oil companies had went away over 35 years ago. That was the oil depletion allowance which went away January 1, 1975. I'm not sure that that was legitimately done either.
I've got a suggestion: Let's have the Congress go after the real culprits in our financial woes: The major banks, starting with the Federal Reserve System. There is accusation of the oil companies being super rich. Maybe that's so, but let's examine it to be sure. Take a look at the Federal Reserve System…. Oh no! We can't. The books of the Federal Reserve System, a private entity that is primarily owned by a very few of the nation's largest banks, have never been audited, no they have never even been looked at by outsiders, yet they have everything to do with controlling not only the money, but the entire monetary system of the United States. It is said that these "subsidies" being given the oil companies are "a drop in the bucket." I submit that the Federal Reserve System is the bucket and everything in it.

MANATEE -- A 19-year-old Southeast High school student was arrested after she allegedly bit her boyfriend's penis when he refused to have sex with her, according to the Manatee Sheriff's Office.
Krystle Harrison, 19, was arrested Wednesday and charged with domestic battery, according to the arrest report. The couple have been dating for three years and have an infant child together.
Harrison made a sexual advance, but her boyfriend said several times that "he did not want to partake," a deputy wrote in a report.
She then grabbed him and "bit his penis," the report states.
Harrison's boyfriend pushed her away and left the home, but she followed him and continued to argue with him. Harrison then slapped and spit in his face.
While he refused any medical attention for his injuries, the boyfriend did sustain scratches to his chest during the altercation at some point, according to the sheriff's office.
Harrison was arrested, although her boyfriend refused to complete a sworn affidavit.
The incident happened at the couple's residence in the 2500 block of 52nd Avenue Drive West.
Harrison was released from the Manatee County jail on Friday after she posted a $1,500 bond.

I am considering buying an olympic bar and weights and have a few basic questions.
1) Would buying a set with squared off edges alter the range of motion in deadlifts? For example the 20KG disks have squared edges and may have different diameter to the usual round 20KG olympic disks?
2) Are plastic coated weights less durable then metal?
Thanks in advance.
Why on earth would you want square weights? Especially if your doing olympic lifts. Think out it. When you come down on your dead, and you hit the edge of the weight with the floor, that could come back and smoke you in the shin.
We have 20kg olympic rubber weights at my gym and I love them. I don't know how old they are, but there holding up fine
Last edited by accuFLEX; 12-08-2006 at 05:42 AM.
The weights are 12 sided, has anyone deadlifted with these and had any issues?
A square has four sides.
A dodecagon has twelve sides.

A child does not learn to squat from the top down. In other words, he does not suddenly make a conscious decision one day to squat. Actually, he is squatting one day and make the conscious decision to stand. Squatting precedes standing in the developmental sequence. This is the way a child's brain learns to use the body as the child develops movement patterns. Therefore, a child is probably crawling, rocks back into a squatting position with the back completely relaxed and the hips completely flexed, and stands when he has enough hip strength. This approach makes a lot of sense and can be applied to relearning the deep squat movement if it is lost. -Gray Cook

* Twhirl for Twitter
* Pidgin for IM
* Skype for Skype :)
* X-Chat for IRC
* Prism for Identi.ca (not always open)
Basically my second monitor is just a dump zone for apps to keep me connected. I am at least thankful that Pidgin will manage most of my IM accounts (AIM, G-Talk, Jabber, MSN, Yahoo). I also realize Twhirl will manage Identi.ca for me, but it does it in yet another window. Ugh.
The only thing that comes close for me is Ping.fm. What I'd really like to see is something like Twhirl support Ping.fm directly. I might be able to actually get some work done on my second monitor. :)
I'm curious, how do you do your online communications?

check out zenbe.com,
check out zenbe.com, includes mail, facebook, twitter, gtalk
you can use digsby when it
you can use digsby when it finally comes out for linux (i hope soon) it combines IM + Twitter + Facebook + Myspace + mailnotification
This new fad called twitter is about stupidest idea I have ever heard.
On topic, I've used Pidgin and Firefox in Linux. I use Pidgin, Firefox, and The Bat! in Windows.
I have one notebook computer. Saves a lot of energy have just one computer and I don't have a need for a desktop pc or home server at the moment. In fact, I've been down that route and I am more productive with just one notebook.
With my notebook I download my mail via pop. I never got on the imap bandwagon. Besides, even with my satellite broadband, imap is a lot slower than gmail so why use imap over the internet?
Finally I must confess, besides firefox I mostly use Vista and The Bat! But that's mainly because I don't like any of the wifi networking tools in Linux. With my T60, they work then they don't work.
When I use Pidgin, I only enable one account at the time. Most of my friends are on MSN.
So there you go, simply kill all those sidebars and other background programs in windows and linux that you are not currently using or going to use in this session.
ps: i have no need for an office suite. i normally use Editpad++ in windows and gedit or that tk notepad in windows and linux.
I think irssi will solve most of your problems and give you generally more flexibility. For example, because it is a CLI client you can leave it running under GNU screen on a remote server and access it from multiple platforms etc.
irssi + BitlBee + twirssi gives you IRC + IM + Twitter
Not sure about the other social networking stuff, there might be plugins for those too... I don't think it will ever do skype!
Only e-mail & browser
I only use e-mail & browser. Granted, I have 4 e-mail addresses I follow, but 3 are through Thunderbird (including G-mail IMAP). Otherwise, I communicate through the message boards.
I'm considering using tircd (http://code.google.com/p/tircd/) for Twitter, which basically lets you use Twitter via and IRC client. This would allow you to integrate Twitter into Pidgen, cutting out at least one of the clients you use. Someone ambitious enough might consider extending it for use with additional social networking sites.
Pidgin... has extensions for
Pidgin... has extensions for mostly everything.
Here here
I have to agree with El Perro Loco and Michael Raugh. All those things are nifty, but I've got work that needs to get done. On top of that, I can't hardly stand the one sided conversations I deal with in real life, why would I want twitter to give me more?
Just so...
Just so you don't feel this is a one sided conversation, Hello. :D

I feel bad
I feel bad I didn't respond to your "hello".
Communication Mediums
Well I started using Pidgin but the saw that kopete allows me to use a web cam (which I am still to try) so now I use it. And when I really want to be cheap I just use web-apps to mass message friends and family (i.e. Myspace, Facebook, etc.) I guess it just boils down to who and what the message is.
I used to use Twhirl, but
I used to use Twhirl, but then it just got too overwhelming with 500+ following, so I switched to Tweetdeck. Tweetdeck gives you the ability to group your friends, so I have a group for friends that I ALWAYS want to follow their tweets.
Also ping.fm is indispensable for me, got it synced across 7 networks, Twitter, Plurk, FB, Brightkite, and a couple others I can't even remember...
For everything else there is Pidgin :)
I don't use half as many protocols as you do, but I've managed to pull everything I use except skype into pidgin.
A combination ping.fm for sending messages and notify.me for recieving updates gives pidgin support (albeit hackish support) for any protocols it doesn't already handle. And all in one window! Lots of tabs, but just one window.
And I don't use skype anywhere near often enough to have it running all the time.
I have roughly the same set up as you do. However on my Windows box I use digsby which covers everything except IRC (and can't do chat rooms in the supported IM protocols). It will eventually (allegedly) be released on Linux and Mac, and hopefully support more protocols and features.
Am I the only person who opens up the appropriate web page in my browser when I feel like communicating? The one exception is that I installed TwitterFox in Firefox, because constantly checking Twitter was a bit much.
Count me among the Loco, I guess
My first thought on reading your list of applets, Shawn, was, "How the frak does he focus on anything?"
Maybe I just have a single-core CPU between my ears. The last thing I want when I'm focused on doing something on my PC is more ways that people can timejack* me. Unless there's someone I specifically want to communicate with, or I'm just idly playing around, I don't load that stuff. If I do want to use Skype, for example, I load the Skype client, have the conversation, and then (gasp!) close it.
There's communicating, and then there's overcommunicating. It may be time for an intervention for you. ;^)
* (timejack: It's like carjacking but more painful because you can never get stolen time back.)
FriendFeed covers quite a
FriendFeed covers quite a few of those.
Remembering McLuhan
"The medium is the message".
Whatever the context in which Marshall McLuhan put that phrase, it is becoming painfully evident that, in our Internet age, we are wasting much time with the "medium" and leaving a lot of "message" aside.
Less and less people seem to be reading books, newspapers, magazines... In general, there is no "instant gratification" in reading that kind of things. On the digital media you get the "fun" factor which, incidentally, also distracts from the message - when there *is* one, at all.
So, in my ideal world, all of these so-called "social networks" would disappear simply because people would be more serious about their purpose in life. They could be a tremendous agent of change (see Obama's campaign), but for the most time they are just frivolous ways to waste one's time...
Sorry to rain on everybody else's parade right in my first post of the year, but I can't get any more of that "Twitter is cool" type of thing.
people would be more serious about their purpose in life.
I do understand where you're coming from, but the idea of communicating with others, regardless of the format, seems a good thing on many levels. Perhaps for me that's largely due to the type of job(s) I have, but social media and Internet communication has been a HUGE boon to my professional effectiveness. In part, my purpose in life (at least professionally) is indeed to communicate with others.
Now, if I could pick and choose who was allowed to Twitter, then I might have more opinions to throw out. Hehehehe.

Hey, Shawn, first of all, thanks for commenting back. I always count on Linux Journal's blogs to have an interesting conversation.
Which brings me back to my point. An interesting conversation presupposes two (or more) intelligent people communicating interesting ideas. However, when it comes to Orkut, Facebook, MySpace and their likes, what I see the most is a bunch of empty-headed morons endlessly trying to show themselves to the world. It is just a desperate cry of "people, please love me, I exist and I am sooooo needy!". Not only teenagers who don't know (or care) how to spell, mind you, but also grown-ups (?) in search of self-affirmation as an antidote to their psychological voids.
That was the point I was trying to make. I mean, from a sociological-psychological-whatever point of view.
On the strictly technical side, I agree with you a hundred percent. I am all for standards, and even in "light" areas, like IM and "social Internet", standards would (and do!) make everything much easier.
And, BTW, I only use Skype. Not because it is cool, but because (1) it helps with the phone bills and (2) very few of my interlocutors use Ekiga, IHU, Kphone and others (which I'd prefer, because they are standards-compliant and open-source).
Happy new orbit! :-)
While a lot of ppl on there may be needy and looking for affirmation, most of us are just looking for sex.
Oh, yeah, baby!
Well, *that* I can understand...
BTW, you don't happen to be a gorgeous girl, with long sexy legs, looking for some adventure, do you? :-)
The fact that I read Linux
The fact that I read Linux Journal should answer that question for you.
I resent that stereotype :)

Auto-reply - sorry
I wish there was a way to edit my posts...
In my previous post, the last sentence should read "...I can't *take*...", not "...I can't *get*..."
My apologies.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Current_Issue.tar.gz - Go Go Gadget Operating System!
Ah, gadgets. I remember back in 1996, the Palm Pilot came out and promised to streamline our schedules in such a way that we easily could get our daily work accomplished in half the time it normally took. (Yes, I realize the Apple Newton and several others offered similar features earlier, but it was the Palm Pilot that really took the world by storm—at least, my world.) The funny thing was that while the organization and portability of the Palm did in fact allow us to accomplish more in less time, the end result wasn't lots of free time and afternoons on the beach. Instead, we crammed more duties into an already-cramped day. It's been more than a decade since the Palm Pilot was introduced, and we're still using gadget after gadget to cram more and more activities into our lives. The good news is at least some of the gadgets cram fun into our lives as well as work.
If you're a Linux fan, as we here at Linux Journal obviously are, gadgets can be a double-edged sword. Although many, if not most, gadgets run some sort of Linux as their operating system, those very gadgets often are not designed to interface with a Linux desktop environment! Thankfully, many of them work with Linux—either by design or by hack—and this month, we talk a bit about both.
One device, the BlackBerry, doesn't run Linux as its operating system. It also doesn't support syncing with a Linux desktop. Like so many other hardware devices, the Linux community has wedged the BlackBerry into the list of supported devices, in spite of the RIM corporation. Carl Fink shows us all the gory details. Cory Wright takes us to the other end of the spectrum and shows us the OpenMoko Neo FreeRunner phone. This little beauty is open from the word go, and of course, it runs Linux. Cory tells us the ups, the downs and the potential future for a phone that makes other "Linux-friendly" phones seem cliché.
Some gadgets don't even need computer interaction. The Dash Express GPS, for example, is an in-car GPS system that connects to the Internet all by itself. It runs Linux, and with its on-line access, could prove to be an amazingly powerful navigation tool. Luckily, our own Kyle Rankin has one, and he tells us all about it. Another Linux-running gadget that doesn't need any help getting on-line is Amazon's Kindle. Daniel Bartholomew tells us all about his and gives us the nitty-gritty regarding viewable content, DRM and the "free" EVDO Internet access.
Technology keeps shrinking and shrinking. Although my Palm Pilot back in 1996 was fairly limited in what it could do, nowadays, a device like the Nokia Internet Tablet isn't much bigger—but boy is it more powerful. Bill Childers shows us how to hack around with a Nokia, and Jes Hall shows us the Acer Aspire One. Granted it's a bit larger than your standard gadget, but the Aspire One can barely be called a laptop. Along with the Eee PC, the MSI Wind, the HP Mini-Note and a slew of others, it fits into that little space of devices called Netbooks. Jes tells us all about the one she's been using and how its features stack up.
For some power users, gadgets are just silly. Those folks will likely want to read this month's review of Terra Soft's PowerStation. It's a PPC-based workstation unlike anything you've seen. Luckily, those power users can still get "gadgets" of their own, of the software variety. Marcel Gagné shows us a handful of software goodies that, although tough to stuff into your pocket, will fit on your desktop easily.
And yes, even if gadgets aren't your thing at all, we have our regular cast of columnists writing on the topics you know and love. Reuven M. Lerner shows us how to speed up database transactions with memcached; Mick Bauer continues his series on Samba security; Dave Taylor finishes off his series on the FilmBuzz Trivia program; plus lots, lots more. So, whip out your Palm Pilot and schedule time to read this issue. You won't be disappointed.
Shawn Powers is the Associate Editor for Linux Journal. He's also the Gadget Guy for LinuxJournal.com, and he has an interesting collection of vintage Garfield coffee mugs. Don't let his silly hairdo fool you, he's a pretty ordinary guy and can be reached via e-mail at email@example.com. Or, swing by the #linuxjournal IRC channel on Freenode.net.
